Construction waste disposal
Solid Waste Management Programme During both construction and operation phases , waste will be handled according to a waste management plan to be completed by the EPC contractor ( for the construction phase ) and the Project Company ( for the operation phase ) prior to the start of these phases .
The Guidelines for Environmental and Social Impact Assessments ( ESIA ) outline waste management system requirements for construction and operation as follows :
● Individuals and the company must accept responsibility for all waste generated .
● Waste reduction at source , followed by recycling , reuse , or recovery are the preferred options .
● Where options other than disposal are not feasible , destruction or treatment to render the waste non-hazardous should be the practice .
● If the hazard cannot be eliminated , the waste will be contained in a secure manner and monitored to ensure it is not and will not damage the environment ,
● Wastes will be segregated and quantified so they can be effectively managed .
● The amount of waste disposed offsite will be kept to a minimum .
● Personal Protective Equipment .
● General Safety Rules & Safety Programmes .
● Work Permit System / Hazard Identification .
Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous waste materials , such as catalysts , will be handed back to the suppliers for specialist disposal . All hazardous waste shipped from the site must be included in a waste manifest to track generation and transportation through licensed and approved contractors .
Non-hazardous Waste Management Non-hazardous industrial solid waste will be stored in collection containers located within the plant site and be appropriately identified with markings . These waste materials will be frequently removed in accordance with an agreed schedule by an approved and licensed contractor . A waste handling programme will exist for all non-hazardous waste steams to avoid waste accumulation .
The monitoring programme will ensure proper implementation of the management plan . Solid non-hazardous waste quantities and the location
