SARA RFI - Ecological Assessment Report

EMP – CONSTRUCTION PHASE                                                                               4-22

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


              wastes are to taken to a Council refuse facility for mulching/ disposal.

        5.    No burying of waste/rubbish will be permitted.

        6.    No littering or rubbish disposal will be permitted on site.

        7.    Where practicable, plan for the reuse of formwork and other temporary structures.

        8.    Emptying of portable toilets is to be carried out by a licensed contractor.

        9.    All rubbish is to be placed into bins located at least 20m from the nearest residence. Such bins
              will be animal proof and covered.

        10. Waste storage areas and bins are to be located clear of stormwater runoff and be protected from
            runoff by a diversion drain.

        11. Solid waste shall be separated on site and recycled where practicable. The remaining waste will
            be stockpiled in a designated area at the site for collection and disposal in accord with Council
            requirements. Wastes stored on site should be stored in such a manner that the contamination of
            runoff does not occur.

        12. Regulated waste is to be collected by a licensed contractor.

        13. Any waste leaving site to be covered to prevent spillage.

        14. Liquid wastes (chemicals, oils and grease) will be stored temporarily in an appropriate container,
            with a lid and sealed, on a bunded pallet (or similar) and disposed of by a licensed contractor in
            accordance with the requirements of Council’s trade waste policy.

        15. Any waste licences will be checked monthly and the terms and conditions of the licences
            checked against actual performance.

       Performance Requirement: Waste is segregated then recycled or disposed. The waste storage area
       is clean, away from drainage areas and the construction site is free of litter and debris. All waste
       removed from site.

       Monitoring: Daily visual site inspection of the construction works area by the Site Environmental
       Officer. Regulated waste (eg. oils) to be monitored by SEO and records kept.

       Reporting: Site Environmental Officer to report monthly to Superintendent, including copies of
       receipts from licensed contractors verifying removal, as part of general environmental report.

       Corrective Action: Amend waste management procedures to prevent re-occurrence of incident.
