8.1
General
8.1.1
The quantity and timing for the generation of waste
during the construction phase have been estimated. Measures including the
opportunity for on-site sorting, reusing excavated materials for reclamation etc, are devised in the construction methodology to
minimise the surplus materials to be disposed off-site. Proper disposal of
chemical waste should be via a licensed waste collector.
8.1.2A All the proposed mitigation measures are stipulated in the approved
EIA Report and summarised in the EMIS in
Appendix B.
8.1.2
8.1.3
The
types and quantities of waste that would be generated during the operational
phase have been assessed. It is anticipated there would not be any
insurmountable impacts during the operation phase. A trip-ticket system should
be operated to monitor all movements of chemical wastes which will be collected
by a licensed collector to a licensed facility for final treatment and
disposal.
8.1.4A Recommendations
have been made to ensure proper treatment and proper disposal of these wastes
in the approved EIA Report and summarised in the EMIS in Appendix B.
8.1.4
8.1.5
EM&A
requirements are required for waste management during the construction phase
only and the effective management of waste arising during the construction
phase will be monitored through the site audit programme. The aims of the waste
audit are:
n
to
ensure the waste arising from the works are handled, stored, collected,
transferred and disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner; and
n
to encourage the reuse and recycling of
material.
