5.1.1
Waste
management during the construction phase will be the Contractor’s
responsibility to ensure that all wastes produced during the construction of
the Project are handled, stored and disposed of in accordance with good waste
management practices and EPD’s regulations and requirements.
5.2
Construction
Phase
5.2.1
Waste
generated by construction activities are likely to include construction and
demolition (C&D) materials generated from the road works, general refuse from
the workforce and chemical waste generated from the maintenance and servicing
of construction plant and equipment. It is recommended that waste materials
generated during the construction activities to be audited at regular intervals
(at least quarterly) to ensure that proper storage, transportation and disposal
practices are being implemented. This monitoring of waste management practices
will ensure that these solid wastes generated during construction are not
disposed of into the surrounding water receiving bodies. The Contractor will be
responsible for the implementation of any mitigation measures to minimize waste
or redress problems arising from the waste materials.
5.3.1
With
the appropriate handling, storage and disposal of waste arising during the
construction works as recommended in the EIA report, the potential to cause
adverse environmental impacts will be minimised. The implementation schedule of
the recommended mitigation measures is presented in Appendix A. During
the site inspections, the Environmental Team (ET) should pay special attention
to the issues relating to waste management and check whether the Contractor has
implemented the recommended good site practices and other mitigation measures.
