Tunnel SHT and associated road works at the west portal of Tunnel SHT.
l An at grade road on the new reclamation along the east coast of the
HKIA to connect with the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF), of
approximately 1.6 km along dual 3-lane carriageway with hard shoulder for each
bound.
l Road links between the HKBCF and the HKIA including new roads and
the modification of existing roads at the HKIA, involving viaducts, at grade
roads and a Tunnel HAT.
l A highway operation and maintenance area (HMA) located on the new
reclamation, south of the Dragonair Headquarters Building, including the
construction of buildings, connection roads and other associated facilities.
l Associated civil, structural, building, geotechnical, marine,
environmental protection, landscaping, drainage and sewerage, tunnel and
highway electrical and mechanical works, together with the installation of
street lightings, traffic aids and sign gantries, water mains and fire
hydrants, provision of facilities for installation of traffic control and
surveillance system (TCSS), reprovisioning works of affected existing
facilities, implementation of transplanting, compensatory planting and
protection of existing trees, and implementation of an environmental monitoring
and audit (EM&A) program.
1.3.1 This WMP will describe 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.
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 CSHK 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, CSHK 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 CSHK Environmental
Policy:
1.5.1 CSHK 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, CSHK will minimise the amount of construction waste
that is generated. The objective of CSHK 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
354).
l The Waste Disposal (Charges for Disposal of Construction Waste) Regulation.
l The Land (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap 28).
l The Dumping at Sea Ordinance (Cap 466).
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 Environmental Protection Department (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 Under the Dumping
at Sea Ordinance, a permit from the EPD is required if any waste generator intends
to dump materials at sea. Cross
boundary disposal of waste is also possible for this contract under permit
issued by the State Oceanic Administration PRC (SAO).
1.6.9 The Public
Cleansing and Prevention of Nuisances By-Laws provide further controls on the illegal tipping of wastes on unauthorized (unlicensed)
sites.
1.6.10 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).
l The Dumping at Sea Ordinance (Cap 466).
1.6.11 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.
l Environmental Guidelines for Planning in Hong Kong. Hong Kong planning Standards and
Guidelines (1990).
l New disposal Arrangements for Construction Waste, EPD and CEDD

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 will be exercised in accordance with the hierarchy outlined in Table 2 below:
Table 2: Hierarchy of
Waste Management
|
Waste Management Option
|
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 CSHK 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 CSHK designate suitable areas onsite
for the storage, sorting and segregation of construction waste. The areas that are designated by CSHK
will be clearly defined with appropriate signage and barriers (or similar) and
allow for easy access by workers and vehicles. As the project progresses it is
anticipated that the designated areas will be reviewed depending upon construction
program requirements. The areas designated
by CSHK will be sufficient for the amounts of construction waste that are
anticipated to be generated during the course of the contract.
Table 3 below shows the actions that will be taken for each type of
construction waste generated onsite.

3.4.1
For imported fill materials, CSHK will seek the SO’s
approval prior to
acceptance of such materials from other site(s). To ensure that the fill materials are imported from
approved site(s) and to avoid the potential for illegal disposal of such
materials, a tracking system for imported material will be
developed by CSHK. The tracking
system will be submitted to the SO for approval before commencing importation
of material to the site.
3.4.2
In
order to confirm that the material that is imported to the site complies with
the requirements for General Filling material, as stipulated in the General
Specification for Civil Engineering Works, representative material samples will
be collected for analysis by an approved laboratory. The sampling and testing will be
conducted at the material source, to confirm its
compliance with the requirements.
The test results will be provided for verification and/or
approval by the Supervising Office (SO) and the IEC before the material is allowed to be imported to the site.
3.4.3
The
target fine content of sand fill in the WMP shall not exceed 5% when placed onsite. The target maximum level of the fine
content of the public fill material will be below 25%.
Design, Construction and Operation of Sorting Facilities and Barge
Points
3.4.5 The delivery of imported materials
as part of the reclamation to a formation level of +5.0mPD is estimated to
commence in July 2013. In order to
achieve this formation level the required daily handling rate of imported
material is outlined in Table 4 below. The proposed sorting facilities together
with barge points have been designed to meet this production.

3.4.7 Owing to the available sorting
facilities, the supply quantities of public fill will be constant and sorted to
the most suitable for reclamation purposes. CSHK will closely coordinate with the
contractors of barging points regarding the schedule of barge for collection of
public fill and the site conditions of the loading facilities to ensure smooth
progress of loading and transporting of public fill to the site.
3.4.8 In order to achieve the daily fill
rates outlined in Table 4, CSHK will
deploy a total of twelve (12) barges.
Details of the barges are outlined in the table below:

3.5.1 The construction of the tunnels will
require excavation of marine sediments.
The excavated sediments will then be disposed of once a Loading /
Dumping permit has been acquired.
In order to apply for the permit a Sediment Quality Report (which will
be duly updated to extend its reliability period) will be required, however, as
the program of works calls for reclamation before excavation, the permit will
be acquired after the reclamation has been stabilised. The estimated volume of marine sediment
requiring excavation is outlined in Table
9 below (subject to permanent design by Atkins China Ltd):

3.5.2 In accordance to the Sediment
Quality Report (“SQR”), the marine sediments will be classified into different categories
based upon test results, and the categories will determine whether the
sediments can be disposed of locally or by cross-boundary disposal to the
Mainland. Marine sediments that
fall into categories Mf and H will need to be disposed of at the designated
disposal site in Hong Kong. Marine
sediments that fall into categories L and Mp will need to be disposed of at the
designated disposal facilities in Hong Kong or at a cross-boundary facility.
According to Marine Fill Committee’s (MFC) memo Ref (0RD1Z-01) in FM 4/1C/65
Pt.20, MFC has agreed to allocate marine disposal spaces to HyD for the
Category L/Mp/Mf/Hp sediments arising from the HKLR project. However, as the current SQR expired in
July 2012, the SQR will need to be updated. Details of the disposal requirements for
marine sediment will be subject to the updated SQR. Given that reclamation work is scheduled
to take place before the excavation/ work it is proposed to carry out the
reclamation work prior to the updating of the SQR.
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 SO 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 by
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 SO, or Alternative Disposal Grounds Proposed by
the Contractor and Approved by the SO). In addition, a completed “CHIT”
will also be presented to the receiving facility as part of the system for the

reclamation or earth-filling projects.
The C&D materials to be disposed should consist entirely of inert
construction waste (i.e. 100% inert
construction waste).
4.2.5
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 and should be delivered to a proper recycling
outlet for processing.
4.2.6
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

4.2.12
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
C&D waste to the landfills. EPD will be informed of any subsequent change to
the disposal programme.
4.3.1 CSHK 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 waste to be segregated on site and also check the total
actual amount of cumulated C&D waste after the completion of the particular
works in the working area.
4.3.3 If the sorted
C&D waste is less than 1/3 of truckload, then the C&D waste will be
transferred to the temporary holding area in CSHK’s Works Area for temporary
stockpiling. The 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 C&D waste,
if necessary, to control pests.
4.3.5 Upon every seven
(7) days or one (1) truckload transported from the site, the stored non-inert
C&D waste in the temporary holding area will be transferred to the
designated landfills a duly completed, signed and stamped CHIT.
4.3.6 The stored inert
C&D waste will be stored in the temporary holding area for reuse as first
priority and where such case is not allowed, the inert C&D waste will be
transferred to the designated fill banks along with a duly completed, signed
and stamped CHIT.
4.3.7 If the sorted
C&D waste is more than 1/3 of truckload, then the Foreman will arrange
disposal of the C&D waste to designated fill banks / landfills after the
DDF has been received from the SO.
4.3.8 For each truckload
of C&D material leaving the working area / temporary holding area to the
designated fill banks / landfills, the truck driver must bear a duly completed,
signed and stamped CHIT.
4.3.9 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 accords with the
acceptance criteria, disposal of the C&D waste will be permitted and the
facility operator will give the truck driver a transaction receipt and stamp
the CHIT / DDF.
4.3.10 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”.
4.3.11 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.
4.3.12 The truck driver
will then return the transaction receipt and the stamped CHIT / DDF to CSHK as
soon as possible. All CHIT / DDFs
are to be return to the EO.
4.3.13 CSHK will maintain
a daily record summary (DRS) of disposal of C&D material from the Site
including details of the C&D waste, the truck number, departure time,
etc. This record will be checked
against the SO records as soon as possible and the SO will be notified
immediately in case any discrepancy is noted.
4.3.14 Part 1 of the DRS
will be completed in duplicate and a copy should be kept by the SO.
4.3.15 For disposal at
government disposal facilities, CSHK 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.
l http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/misc/cdm/trip.html
4.3.16 Part 2 of the DRS
will be completed and submit to the SO within 1 working day after the records
are posted at the EPD web-site.
4.3.17 Where an
irregularity is observed or where requested by the SO under special
circumstances (e.g. a CHIT / DDF has been issued but there is no disposal
record at the disposal ground), CSHK will submit to the SO 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 SO 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 Supervising
4.4.1
Import
public fill and sand will be primarily by barges onto the site for
filling although land route will also be used in some cases for filling
works. The control of
barges and trucks coming
to the site for
filling works will be
controlled by the implementation of a TTS.
4.4.2
The
public fill would be from the source sites of Fill Bank 137 at Tseung Kwan O managed by CEDD and
the MTRC projects currently under construction. A TTS will be agreed with the SO, CEDD
and MTRC for the filling record such as the date and time
of the barge leaving the site and the quantities of fill checked and agreed by ER and CEDD/MTRC
for endorsing the tickets. The
copies of tickets would be issued to the SO daily for their record and a summary
of the record would be issued to the SO
monthly for checking and verification.
4.4.3
The
public fill at source site must be tested to confirm compliance with the
Contract Specifications
such as the fine contents of the public fill etc. Before barges are allowed to leave
the source site to start filling work.
Test samples of public fill and sand at the source site must be submitted to the SO for record.
4.5.1
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.
4.5.2 Wastes
collected on all the wheels and bodies of trucks will be washed off by
wheel washing facilities before leaving the construction site. CSHK will provide wheel washing
facilities on site at the site entrance.
4.6.1
Where
CSHK has identified a project that can serve as an alternative disposal
facility, CSHK will provide a detailed description of the alternative disposal
ground, including location, lot number (where appropriate)
and location plan(s) to the SO to request for his written approval to dispose of waste at the proposed
location.
4.6.2
Where
the alternative disposal facility is a private construction project, CSHK 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.
l The use of land formed by C&D materials is in conformity with
the statutory town plan / lease conditions.
l The SO is allowed to enter the alternative facility to conduct an
inspection when necessary.
l The estimated quantity and type of C&D materials to be used in
the construction works and the approximate delivery program, together with the
name, post and specimen signature of the competent person to sign the DDF /
internal trip ticket.
4.6.3
Where the alternative disposal facility is a private
facility but not a construction site, CSHK will submit a letter from the
relevant authorities, such as the Lands Department and Planning Department, to confirm the
suitability of the alternative disposal facility to receive the proposed amount
of C&D materials for use, and a written consent from the landowner.
4.6.4
Where the alternative disposal facility is a
government project, CSHK will submit written consent from the project office
of the alternative disposal facility to use the C&D materials
generated from the Site, and to confirm the estimated quantity and type of
C&D materials required and the approximate delivery programme.
4.6.5
A
system for transmitting disposal records from the alternative disposal ground
will be submitted to the SO for approval before disposal to
the alternative ground starts.
4.7.1
CSHK has been registered as Chemical Waste
Producer. Chemical waste that is generated, as
defined by Schedule 1 of the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General)
Regulation, will be handled in accordance with the Code of Practice on the Packaging, Labelling and Storage
of Chemical Wastes as follows:
4.7.2
Chemical
waste will be packed and held in containers of suitable design and construction
so
as to prevent leakage, spillage or escape of the contents under normal
conditions of handling,
storage and transport.
4.7.3 Containers used for the storage of
chemical wastes will:
l Be suitable for the substance they are holding, resistant to
corrosion, maintained in a good condition, and securely closed.
l Have a capacity of less than 450 litres unless the specifications
have been approved by the EPD.
l Display a label in English and Chinese in accordance with
instructions prescribed in Schedule 2 of the Regulations.
4.7.4
Every
container of chemical waste will bear an appropriate label which with details
of the chemical waste. The waste
producer will ensure that the information contained on the label
is accurate and sufficient so as to enable proper and safe handling, storage
and transport of the chemical
waste.
4.7.5
The
storage area will be specially constructed and bunded, and located close to the
source of waste generation. The storage area for chemical wastes
will:
l Be clearly labelled and used solely for the storage of chemical
waste.
l Be enclosed on at least three (3) sides.
l Have an impermeable floor and bunding of sufficient capacity to
accommodate 110% of the volume of the largest container or 20% of the total
volume of waste stored in that area, whichever is the greatest.
l Have adequate ventilation.
l Be covered to prevent rainfall entering (water collected with the
bund must be tested and disposed of as chemical waste).
l Be arranged so that incompatible materials are adequately separated.
l Before reaching 80% capacity of the storage container, licensed
waste collectors will be contracted to remove the chemical waste.
4.7.6
After
the chemical wastes have been packed, labelled, and stored, the chemical wastes
will
be transported by licensed waste collectors and disposed of at Chemical Waste Treatment
Facility in Tsing Yi or other approved facilities.
4.8.1 Measures to be implemented to
encourage general waste avoidance / minimization include:
l Reducing the number of photocopies to a minimum and copying on both
sides of paper for internal documents and external documents where appropriate.
l Preventing over-ordering of office equipment and consumables.
l Procuring energy efficient office equipment and consumables.
l Deploying and servicing recycling containers on site to facilitate
collection of recyclables (e.g. aluminum cans, plastic bottles).
l Deploying containers with covers onsite to facilitate the collection
of non-recyclables for disposal at landfills.
l General refuse generated from working vessels and barges will be
collected into temporary waste collection points.
l Working vessels for import fill or delivery should be handled by
themselves.
l There will be waste containers on the working vessels for the collection
of waste. In the event that refuse
is found on the water, CSHK will collect the refuse on an as needed basis.
4.9.1 Sewage waste will be generated from
amenity facilities used by the construction workforce and site office’s
sanitary facilities. Night soil
from chemical toilets will also be generated. The sludge needs to be properly managed
to minimise odour and potential health risks to the workforce by attracting
pests and other disease vectors.
4.9.2
The
peak number of construction workers anticipated to on site by CSHK is to be
about 500 staff. As the workers
will be scattered within the construction site, the most cost-effective
solution will be to provide adequate number of portable toilets within the site
to ensure that sewage from site staff is properly collected. CSHK will ensure adequate numbers of
portable toilets for the workforce and ensure no adverse water impacts by
contracting with licensed contractors to maintain the facilities.
4.10.1 Before starting the transportation
of recyclable materials off site to recycling facilities, CSHK will meet with
recycling contractors to establish a suitable system for collecting recyclable
materials with care.
4.11
