1.3.1
This WMP
describes the arrangements for avoidance, minimization, handling, reuse,
recovery and recycling, storage, transportation, collection, treatment and
disposal of the different categories of waste that are expected to be generated
during the construction activities of the Contract. This WMP includes the recommended mitigation
measures on waste management that are contained in the EIA Report and EM&A
Manual.
1.3.2
The main
objectives of this WMP are to:
l Provide
reference to the applicable environmental legislation and guidelines pertaining
to waste management;
l Clarify
each party¡¦s responsibilities regarding waste management, and identify the
personnel from each party that are assigned these responsibilities and their
respective role on the Contract; and
l Establish
waste management practices and treatment procedures, for the avoidance,
minimization, material reuse/recovery/recycling, collection, transportation,
storage and disposal of wastes that are generated during the course of the
Contract that are specified by the EP and the implementation of the mitigation
measures that are outlined in the EIA report.
1.4.1 An Environmental Policy has been established by
Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint
Venture to outline guidance, technical information, and instructions to
designated personnel who will be responsible for the management of site
environmental issues, and to ensure that all statutory and contractual
environmental requirements and the Company Environmental Policy are followed. In
addition, Leighton ¡V Chun Wo
Joint Venture will create an Environmental
Management Team (EMT) for establishing and implementing effective and efficient
environmental protection procedures for the Contractor.
1.4.2 The Environmental Policy Statement, together with the Environmental
Objectives and Targets, are listed below in
the Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture Environmental Policy:
¡P
Complying with all applicable environmental
laws, regulations and contractual obligations;
¡P
Taking all practicable steps to prevent
adverse environmental events and provide rapid and appropriate response to
address any events that occur;
¡P
Managing resource usage to protect the
environment and improve our business performance
¡P
Creating project opportunities that utilize
new environmental technologies;
¡P
Maintaining an effective environmental
management system that is aligned and implemented to international standard
(ISO14001) to manage performance on project, set and review targets, allocate
resources and continually improve our environmental performance;
¡P
Providing appropriate training for our
employees, subcontractors and others working on our behalf to improve awareness
and knowledge of our system and their roles and obligations.
1.5.1 Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture aims to recover, avoid and minimize
the construction waste generated on site by utilizing the hierarchy illustrated
below. This attempts to evaluate
waste management practices and selects the best practical option since
conceptually it makes sense to avoid producing a waste rather than developing
extensive treatment schemes.
Through good planning, and effective site management practices, Leighton
¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will
minimise the amount of construction waste that is
generated. The objective of
Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint
Venture is to reduce and minimize the amount of wastes generated and hence minimise the costs associated with subsequent waste
handling and disposal.
1.6.1 During the course of the
Contract, it is anticipated that various types of waste will be generated. Each distinct waste type
will require a different approach for the effective management and disposal as
stipulated in the applicable legislation and guidelines.
1.6.2 The following legislation relates to the
handling, treatment and disposal of waste in Hong Kong:
l The
Waste Disposal (Amendment) Ordinance (WDO) (Cap 354).
l The
Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation (Cap 354C).
l The
Waste Disposal (Charges for Disposal of Construction Waste) Regulation. (Cap
354N).
l The
Land (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap 28).
l The
Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance (Cap 132) - Public Cleansing and
Prevention of Nuisances (Urban Council) and (Regional Council) By-Laws.
l Summary
Offences Ordinance (Cap 228).
l Other
relevant regulations.
1.6.3 The WDO prohibits the
unauthorized disposal of waste.
Construction waste is not directly defined in the WDO, but is considered
to fall within the category of ¡§trade waste¡¨. Under the WDO, wastes can only be disposed of at sites licensed by the EPD.
1.6.4 Under the WDO and the Charging Regulation,
wastes can only be disposed of at designated waste disposal facilities that are
licensed by the EPD. For
construction work with a value of more than HK$1M, the main contractor is
required to establish a billing account at
the EPD before transporting the construction waste to the designated
waste disposal facilities (e.g. landfill, public fill etc.). The vessels for delivering construction
waste to a public fill reception facility would need prior approval from EPD. Breach of these regulations can lead to
a fine and/or imprisonment.
1.6.5 Under the
Waste Disposal (Chemical
Waste) (General) Regulation all producers of chemical wastes (including
asbestos) must register with the EPD and treat
their wastes either utilizing on-site plant licensed by the EPD, or arranging
for a licensed collector transport the wastes to an appropriately
licensed facility. The regulation
also prescribes the storage facilities to be provided on site, including
labelling and warning signs, and requires the preparation of written procedures
and training to deal with emergencies such as spillages, leakages, or accidents
arising from the storage of chemical
wastes.
1.6.6
The
current policy related to the dumping of construction and demolition (C&D)
material is documented in the Works Branch Technical Circular No. 2/93, ¡¥Public
Dumps¡¦. C&D materials that are wholly inert, namely public
fill, should not be disposed of at landfill, but should be taken to public
filling areas, which usually form part of reclamation schemes.
1.6.7 The Land (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance
requires that dumping licenses be obtained by individuals or companies who deliver public fill to public filling areas. The Civil Engineering & Development Department
(CEDD) issues the licenses under delegated powers from the Director of Lands.
1.6.8
The Public
Cleansing and Prevention of Nuisances By-Laws provide further controls on the
illegal tipping of wastes on unauthorized (unlicensed) sites.
1.6.9
The
Contractor is required to obtain all necessary permits and licenses under these
ordinances including, but not limited to:
l Chemical
waste permits/licenses under the Waste Disposal Ordinance (Cap 354).
l Public
Dumping License under the Land (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap 28).
1.6.10 The following guidelines related to waste
management and disposal would be adhered to
during construction:
l Waste
Disposal Plan for Hong Kong (1989), Planning, Environmental and Lands Branch
Government Secretariat.

Site Specific Waste Management
3.1.1 The key to successful waste management is
undertaking proactive measures to reduce the amount of waste generated. Waste management options/programme will
be exercised in accordance with the
hierarchy outlined in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Hierarchy/Programme of Waste
Management
Waste Management Option/Programme
|
Required Actions
|
|
|
Avoidance /
Reduction / Minimization
|
Avoid the generation
of excessive waste by planning and scheduling material deliveries.
Minimize the amount
of waste generated through careful planning and design, before commencing the
Contract.
|
|
Re-use
|
Where appropriate and
practicable, construction materials such as timber formwork, metal, etc, and
any spoil generated during excavation work should be re-used onsite.
|
|
Recovery and Recycling
|
Recyclable
construction materials such as plastics and metal will be recovered, sorted
and stored onsite in containers.
The containers will be transported off site for recycling at an
approved facility.
Regularly serviced,
covered recycling containers will be provided for the use of the onsite
workforce.
|
|
Treatment and Disposal
|
All waste removed
from the site requiring treatment and/or disposal will be transported to an
approved facility.
|
|
3.1.2
To achieve
waste reduction, environmentally responsible purchasing would involve the
introduction of practices that discourage unnecessary purchases and encourage
the purchase of products or materials that can be found locally, that have
reduced packaging or recyclable packaging, increased durability and materials
with recycled content, such as, recycled paper, steel, concrete and other raw construction materials.
3.1.3 Waste minimization is best achieved through the
use of careful planning, design and close supervision. It is expected that, following good
waste management practices on site will result in a reduction of the amount
waste being generated. To minimize
the wastage of raw materials that are delivered to the site, good management,
estimation and planning techniques will be required.
3.2.1 In order to determine whether the waste management
procedures used by Leighton ¡V Chun Wo
Joint Venture are effective, the
following specific targets will be implemented onsite in an effort to reduce
the generation of waste materials, and thus minimize the amount of waste
requiring disposal at landfill:
l All
excavated material will be sorted on site to recover the inert portion of
construction and demolition debris materials, such as hard rock, soil and
broken concrete, for subsequent re-use on site or disposal to designated
outlets.
l Recover
and store all metallic waste (e.g. scrap metal) for subsequent collection by a
recycling contractor and recycling at an approved facility.
l Recover
all cardboard and/or paper packaging (for plant, equipment and materials) will
be stored in covered stockpiles (to keep dry and prevent contamination) for
subsequent collection and recycling at an approved facility.
l All
chemical waste that is generated on site (e.g. servicing of plant) will be
stored for collection and disposal at an approved disposal facility.
l All
demolition debris will be sorted on site to recover broken concrete,
reinforcement bars, mechanical and electrical fittings, hardware as well as
other recyclable fittings for subsequent recycling at an approved facility.
l To
minimize the use of timber during construction, recyclable metal formwork and
hoarding will be used where practicable.
3.3.1 Leighton ¡V Chun Wo
Joint Venture will designate suitable areas onsite for the storage, sorting and segregation
of construction waste. The areas
that are designated by Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will be clearly defined with appropriate
signage and barriers (or similar) and allow for easy access by workers and
vehicles. The layout plan of proposed temporary storage and sorting area for
C&D materials is shown in Appendix B. As the project progresses, it is anticipated that the designated areas will be reviewed depending
upon construction program requirements.
The areas designated by Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will be sufficient for the amounts of
construction waste that are anticipated to be generated during the course of
the Contract. Table 2 below shows the actions that will be taken for
each type of construction waste generated onsite.

Waste Management Procedure
4.1.1
The waste that
is generated during the construction process will be disposed of at designated
disposal facilities. Monthly
summaries of the amount of waste material disposed of offsite will be provided
to the Engineer¡¦s Representative (ER) in the form of a Waste Flow Table
(WFT). The summaries will indicate
the estimated quantities of waste removed
the types of materials removed and the corresponding disposal ground in the WFT.
4.1.2
The
quantities of C&D material disposed of will be recorded under the barcode
TTS using the CHIT / DDF (for disposal of C&D Materials at Disposal Grounds
(Other than Prescribed Facilities) as designated in the Contract or as Directed
by the ER, or Alternative Disposal Grounds Proposed by the Contractor and
Approved by the ER). In addition, a
completed ¡§CHIT¡¨ will also be presented to the receiving facility as part of
the system for the disposal charging scheme which became officially effective
in January 2006. Waste transaction
records could be obtained either from the waste disposal facilities directly,
or retrieved from the EPD bill statement
each month.
4.2.1 Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will comply with the acceptance
criteria laid down by the operators of the corresponding fill bank(s) and
landfill(s), as outlined below:
4.2.2
The truck
drivers should bear a duly signed CHIT
/ a duly completed, signed and stamped DDF (for approved alternative disposal
grounds). The dump truck should also have a
valid Dumping Licence issued by CEDD.
Dump trucks without valid Dumping
Licences will be rejected.
4.2.3 The inert C&D materials to be delivered to
the fill bank(s) should be in accordance with the conditions stipulated in the
Dumping Licence. Any over-sized
inert C&D materials will be broken down to less than 250mm in size so as to
facilitate its reuse by other reclamation or earth-filling projects. The inert C&D materials to be
disposed of should consist entirely of inert construction waste (i.e. 100%
inert construction waste).
4.2.4 Recyclable materials such as metal, paper,
plastics and milled bituminous materials etc., which have been sorted on the
site for the purposes of recycling, shall not be considered as C&D
materials/waste and should be delivered to a proper recycling outlet for
processing.
4.2.5
The truck
drivers should bear a duly signed
CHIT. The dump truck should
also have a valid Dumping License issued by CEDD. Dump trucks
without valid Dumping Licenses will be rejected.
4.2.6
The
non-inert C&D waste to be delivered to the landfills should be in
accordance with the conditions stipulated
in the Dumping License.
4.2.7
Construction
waste to be delivered to landfills should contain not
more than 50% by weight of inert C&D material (Gazette Notice G.N. 4274 published on 16 June 2008).
4.2.8
For a load
of non-inert C&D waste not consisting entirely of bamboo, plywood or timber
delivered by a vehicle, the weight of the waste divided by the permitted gross
vehicle weight of the vehicle must not greater than 0.25 for goods vehicle with
demountable skip and 0.2 for other types of vehicle (Gazette Notice G.N. 4274 published on 16 June 2008).
4.2.9
Mixed C&D materials should be sorted at source to reduce the inert
content as far as practicable to meet the above criteria before they are
delivered to landfills.
4.2.10 Non-inert C&D waste delivered for landfill
disposal should contain no free water and the liquid
content will not exceed 70% by weight.
4.2.11 At least one (1) week¡¦s notice, including
contractors name and contact details etc, will be submitted to the EPD before
starting to deliver the non-inert C&D waste to the landfills. EPD
will be informed of any subsequent change to the disposal programme.
4.3.1 Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will
implement a TTS to track the disposal of C&D materials. Under the TTS, each truck carrying
C&D materials leaving the Site for a disposal facility will be accompanied
by a duly completed and stamped CHIT / DDF. The C&D materials must be disposed of at the disposal grounds as stipulated in
the DDF. The TTS will be
executed according to the following procedures:
4.3.2 The Foremen will arrange the C&D material
to be segregated on site and also check the total actual amount of cumulated
C&D material after the completion of the particular works in the working
area.
4.3.3 The non-inert C&D waste will be sorted and
stored separately into different storage areas.
4.3.4 Non-inert C&D waste will be stored in
storage containers covered with tarpaulin sheeting in the temporary holding
area. Inert C&D materials will
be stored on the ground properly covered with tarpaulin sheeting in the
temporary holding area. Larvicidal oil or larvicide will
be applied to the stored non-inert C&D waste, if necessary, to control
pests.
4.3.5 For each truckload of C&D waste/material
leaving the working area to the designated fill banks / landfills, the truck
driver must bear a duly completed, signed and stamped CHIT. A Notification to
Truck Driver (attached in Appendix C) will be given to truck
drivers to remind them the proper disposal procedures.
4.3.6 The truck will proceed to the designated
disposal facility as stipulated in the CHIT / DDF. The truck driver will present the CHIT /
DDF to the reception facility operator.
If the C&D waste/material accords with the acceptance criteria,
disposal of the C&D waste/material will be permitted and the facility
operator will give the truck driver a transaction receipt and stamp the CHIT /
DDF.
4.3.7 The truck driver will present the CHIT at the
weighbridge. If the vehicle load is
accepted, the CHIT is deemed to be used and the weight would be recorded on the
¡§Transaction Record Slip¡¨.
4.3.8 If the truck driver is instructed by the
reception facility operator to go to the sorting facility, the driver will need
return back to the site and report to the Foremen. No driver is allowed to go to sorting
facility without Foremen permission or instruction.
4.3.9 The truck driver will then return the
transaction receipt and the stamped CHIT / DDF to Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture as soon as
possible. All CHIT / DDFs are to be
return to the EO.
4.3.10 Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will maintain a daily record summary
(DRS) of disposal of C&D waste/material from the Site including details of
the C&D waste/material, the truck number, departure time, etc. This record will be checked against the
ER records as soon as possible and the ER will be notified immediately in case
any discrepancy is noted.
4.3.11 Part 1 of the DRS will be completed in
duplicate and a copy should be kept by the ER.
4.3.12 For disposal at
government disposal facilities, Leighton ¡V Chun Wo
Joint Venture will check the information recorded in the DRS against the
disposal records on CEDD¡¦s or the EPD¡¦s website (see below).
l http://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/services/tripticket/index.html http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/misc/cdm/scheme.htm#j
4.3.13 Part 2 of the DRS will be completed and submit
to the ER within 1 working day after the records are posted at the EPD
web-site.
4.3.14 Where an irregularity is observed or where
requested by the ER under special circumstances (e.g. a CHIT / DDF has been
issued but there is no disposal record at the disposal ground), Leighton ¡V Chun
Wo Joint Venture will submit to the ER within 5
working days after the recorded date of disposal the supporting evidence such
as duly stamped CHIT / DDF and/or the Transaction Record Slip (where relevant)
to confirm proper completion of the delivery trips in question, or within 2
working days after the ER has requested for such evidence, whichever is later.
A fax copy of the CHIT / DDF or Transaction Record Slip is acceptable, unless
otherwise directed by the ER.
4.4
Measures to be implemented During Transportation of Wastes to Avoid Leakage of Wastes
onto Public Areas
4.4.1
All trucks
to transport waste from the site will be in good working condition and will be
equipped with mechanical covers (or similar) to prevent leakage of waste onto
public areas. In addition to the cover, to
further minimize the leaking of waste from the trucks, trucks should not be
filled higher than the trail board.
4.4.2 Wastes collected on all
the wheels and bodies of trucks will be washed off by wheel washing facilities before
leaving the construction site.
4.5.1
Where
Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture has identified a
project that can serve as an alternative disposal facility, Leighton ¡V Chun Wo Joint Venture will provide a detailed description of the
alternative disposal ground, including location, lot number (where appropriate)
and location plan(s) to the ER to request for his written approval to dispose of waste at the proposed location.
4.5.2
Where the
alternative disposal facility is a private construction project, Leighton ¡V
Chun Wo Joint Venture will submit a letter from the
Authorized Person of the development (as defined under the Building Ordinance) to confirm that:
l The
use of C&D materials in the development is acceptable.
