EMP – CONSTRUCTION PHASE                                                                                     4-21

       Strategy:            Minimise noise and vibration impacts during the construction phase.



        Corrective Action:
        •     Take action to reduce noise emission from equipment if monitoring confirms noise level in
              excess of legislative requirements.
        •     Noise monitoring to be conducted in accordance with EPA guidelines.
        •     Limit the hours of activities causing vibration or implement appropriate procedures for material
              damage prevention if required.

4.8     Element C.8: Waste Management
       Policy:             To manage waste in accordance with the waste management hierarchy outlined in the
                           Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Policy 2000:
                           •     waste avoidance
                           •     waste re-use
                           •     waste recycling
                           •    energy recovery from waste
                           •     waste disposal.
                           To dispose of cleared vegetation appropriately.(refer Condition 21.3, EP Act and EPP
                           for waste, NSC trade waste policy)

       Strategy:           Ensure the appropriate disposal of solid and liquid waste.



       Responsibility: Site Environmental Officer and Principal.

       Contractor Management Actions:
        1.    Order only the amount of construction materials needed for the construction work. Designs and
              specifications should minimise the wastage of materials and energy.
        2.    Building materials are to be located within the site area and not placed in a position that may
              result in materials being washed onto the roadway or into the stormwater system or protected
              habitat areas.
              No material is to be located within the drip line of retained trees.
        3.    All construction sheds, skip bins, temporary water supply points, toilets, spoil, etc., shall be kept
              within the property. No vehicles, skips or machines shall be permitted to stand on Council’s
              footpath.
        4.    No burning of waste materials is to occur on site. All green waste (except weeds) is to be
              mulched/chipped either on site for reuse where the source materials are suitable for on-site
              `reuse. For all unsuitable materials, including declared and other environmental weeds, green
