within two working days of the spill.
4.5.1
One spill kit will be distributed around the
site at locations nearby to any storage area
for chemicals /chemical waste.
Additional spill kits will also be located near to the office of the
Environmental Officer and the Environmental Officer shall ensure that
sufficient spill kits available on site at all times.
4.5.2
Absorbent pads and pillows of the spill kits
mitigate spills by means of physical absorption. No chemical or biological reaction would
take place during whilst using the absorbent pads and pillows. Used absorbent pads and pillows will be
collected after completion of spillage removal.
4.5.3
The inventory of hazardous chemicals that will
be used for this contract will be inspected periodically by the Environmental
Officer and Foremen every two months.
4.5.4
At least four sets of spill kits will be
provided on site in case of any emergency and the inventory of spill kits will
be managed by the on shift Foremen or Emergency Team LeaderĄŠs delegates
(numbers and locations of the spill kits will be discussed in Section 7.2). CSHK will also provide additional spill
kit(s) on site when it is deemed necessary, and the total numbers of such kits
would be agreed with the SOR.
4.6.1
It is anticipated that the major chemical that
will be stored onsite during the construction of the contract will be
lubricants and oils are also anticipated to be stored onsite for the
maintenance of equipment.
4.6.2
An inventory of the hazardous chemicals that are
stored onsite will be maintained and regularly updated by the contractor. This inventory will contain details of
the type of chemicals, the quantity of chemicals, the storage container (e.g.
steel drum) and the location of material onsite. All subcontractors present onsite will
provide details of the chemicals that they are storing onsite. Checks of the materials that are stored
onsite by subcontractors will be made by Foreman from CSHK, together with
Foremen from the subcontractors.
The inventory and check record will be made available for inspection by
the SOR.
4.7.1
The information that is outlined within this
section will become applicable if the area of a spill is estimated to be
greater than 100m2. In
order to protect sensitive receviers within the
vicinity of the HKLR site during a spill of greater than 100m2 the
following steps will be taken:
i.
The location of the spill relative to a sensitive water receivers such as water intakes,
ecological sensitive receivers and Tai Ho Wan will be determined.
ii.
Absorbent booms, or similar, will be deployed
near to the receptors to protect sensitive marine receptors.
iii. The
Contractor will immediately inform the relevant parties as outlined in Section
4.2 of this SRP.
iv. The
on shift Foremen or Emergency Team LeaderĄŠs delegates will employ all possible
mitigation measures in order to isolate the spill and minimize any potential
adverse effects to sensitive marine receptors.
v.
Follow the procedures that are outlined in Appendix B of this SRP.
vi. The
Contractor, SOR,
ET and IEC will discuss and implement a suitable program of water sampling to
monitor for any potential adverse effects to sensitive receptors.
5.1.1
It is not known what specific impacts a spill of
diesel fuel, or other chemicals would have upon the Chinese White Dolphin and
its food supply. Given that these
effects are unclear, a proactive approach will be used to isolate the Chinese
White Dolphins from any spill response event that may take place during the
course of the construction of the contract.
5.2.1
Observations from platform(s)
as high as practicable will be used to determine the approximate size of a
spill.
5.2.2
Whilst determining the size of the spill it will
be determined whether any Chinese White Dolphins are present in the vicinity of
the spill.
5.2.3
The weather forecast for the area will also be
used to determine the likely direction of movement (if any) of the surface
spill. In addition the vessel
traffic centre will be contacted to determine if any vessels may pass through
the location of the spill.
5.2.4
A suitable course of action can then be decided
upon once information such as the size of the spill, the proximity of any
Chinese White Dolphins to the spills and the likelihood of the Chinese White
Dolphins encountering the spill.
5.3.1
The use of absorbent booms is an effective
containment method for small spills within the marine environment and will
prevent the spread of a spill and thus help to minimize the potential for
Chinese White Dolphins to come into contact with the spill. Deployment of such absorbent booms,
together with teams of observers is considered to be an appropriate response to
a small spill that can be cleaned up in the short term.
5.3.2
In the event of spills of a larger area, the
deployment of underwater barrier nets (such as anti-shark nets) in addition to
the measures outline above, could be an effective means of isolating the spill
area from Chinese White Dolphins.
5.3.3
If Chinese White Dolphin(s) is/are observed
within the enclosed area which contains the spill, the same protocol used in
the event of injury or of live stranded cetaceans, as described in the Dolphin
Watch Plan will be followed.
6.1.1
The following is a list of the health and safety
equipment that will be made available on site:
i.
Fire extinguishers (such as foam) which are
suitable for fighting fires with flammable or combustible liquids.
ii.
Brushes, dustpans, mops and buckets.
iii. Dry
sand, sawdust or other absorbent material.
iv. Tissue
and towels (both paper and cloth).
v.
Storage containers or drums that will be
suitable for the storage of including plastic bags, absorbent pads, etc.
vi. Spill
response kits.
7.1.1
The onsite workforce will receive training from
the Environmental Officer regarding the measures outlined in this SRP, during
the site induction training, and the Environmental Officer shall periodically conduct
Tool Box talks with the site workers regarding the SRP. During the induction training, a
demonstration of the containment methods and equipment shall be carried out by
the Environmental Officer. All site
workers will be required to receive this training.
