ENF001 | 05/13 Rev – ASPECTS & IMPACTS REGISTER |

Environmental Aspects & Impacts Register

Disposition Statement

This generic Register of Environmental Aspects and Impacts should be read in conjunction with McLaren Construction Ltd Aspects and Impacts Procedure, the

individual Site Environmental Risk Assessments and Environmental and Emergency Plans. These detail how the generic environmental aspects apply and how any

site-specific risks or actual impacts are identified and prevented, controlled or mitigated.

This statement explains the process by which environmental aspects have been identified and evaluated for significance. The aspects have been grouped into the

following topics:

1. Resource efficiency (non-renewable resources, energy and water)

2. Traffic and transport

3. Ground contamination

4. Water and effluent discharge

5. Noise, vibration and other nuisances

6. Air emissions (dusts, odours, greenhouse gases, ozone depleting substances, solvents etc.)

7. Toxic and hazardous substances (including oils and fuels)

8. Deleterious materials (asbestos, PCBs, etc.)

9. Wastes

10. Visual impact / townscape / landscape (including site lighting)

11. Cultural heritage and archaeology

12. Wildlife and natural features

13. Environmental emergencies and external occurrences (impact/collision, flood, etc.)

14. Indirect Environmental impacts

An example of the process by which aspects and impacts were identified is as follows: one aspect identified in the register is wastes and their disposal to landfill.

This aspect was considered significant because of the variety and importance of the potential impacts consequent to the degradation of the wastes after tipping

(leachates, methane / greenhouse gases, odours, visual impact, health concerns, etc.).


All wastes are automatically considered “significant” due to the specific commitment in the policy statement identifying them for particular attention, as well as the

detailed legal requirements that govern their day-to-day management (policy commitment to comply).

Aspects arising from normal, abnormal and emergency situations have also been identified, including project start-up (demolition and clearance), normal

operations (building and site management) and finishing phases of the project. Examples of abnormal or even emergency wastes would be the need to dispose of

asbestos, or contaminated soil following a spill.

The significant environmental aspects associated with wastes from various activities at operating sites are dealt with in Section 9 below and include:

• Emissions to air / landfill gases

• Releases to water / leachates

• Contamination of land

• Inefficient use of raw materials and natural resources

• Localised nuisance and health impacts close to landfill sites

Consideration has also been given to past, current and future activities, products and services - for example, the requirement for an increasing proportion of

construction materials to be derived from recycled sources.

1.1

All activities

using

minerals,

metals,

cements,

timber, etc.

Depletion of mineral resources that are mined,

quarried or otherwise extracted from the natural

environment will deprive future generations of the

ability to enjoy a similar lifestyle to that enjoyed

today.

Key is to maximise resource efficiency, avoid waste

and seek alternative “renewable” resources. Avoid

the use of certain metals and toxic materials where

possible. Design component can influence full life

Design / works may involve the generation of

significant waste materials that require disposal to

landfill and miss potential for re-use, recycling. MCL

suppliers and subcontractors will generate “active,

minimisation are key McLaren Policy issues.

‘Special wastes’ present an additional threat to the

environment and/or human health. Possible cross

contamination of wastes (i.e. poor segregation) may

prohibit recycling or reprocessing of the materials.

Poor waste management may also result in litter,

pollution of land and water, and there is an

3.1 The Site Management Team is required to carry out regular monitoring of the system

and will complete a detailed checklist as part of an Environmental Site Review (detailed above). It is important that all established procedures are followed and that any problems are reported immediately. The site will also be subjected to a formal internal audit to assess the operation of the EMS.

3.2 Environmental awareness will be continually promoted and further improvements

discussed by carrying out Toolbox Talks on a regular basis to ensure that all operations are carried out to minimise the risk of pollution and reduce the volume of waste produced on site. All site personnel and sub-contractors will be required to sign the attendance record for these talks.

3.3 Environmental considerations will form part of the initial site induction, where the contents of this management plan will be disseminated to all personnel to ensure the awareness of its contents to all persons on site.

3.4 Noise will be monitored weekly using a handheld noise meter and logged on document ‘Noise Monitoring Record’.

3.5 Dust will be visually monitored daily and records kept within the ‘Dust Monitoring Record’.

3.6 Vibration will not be monitored as the level of vibration from the infrastructure works will be limited to compaction and tracking of plant, so is therefore deemed unnecessary.

3.7 There is a requirement to carry out water sampling on 4 watercourses around site. 4. CONTROL OF WORKS

4.1 All incidents, no matter how minor, are to be reported to D. Morgan Site Manager and Client team (see organisational chart Appendix A). External parties will be contacted if required by D Morgan Site Management.

4.2 Fuel will be stored on site in limited quantities in a COSHH store which will be bunded,

with a collection tray for spill prevention and control. Refuelling operations will be undertaken by daily visits from a mobile bowser and will take place in designated areas where drip trays will be utilised to catch any potential spillages.

4.3 To further mitigate any potential contamination to ground or watercourses, the bowser is equipped with a quick release fuel nozzle and all operated plant will be equipped with spill kits to tackle any spillages which may occur (no matter how minor).





4.4 All site fitters will be inducted to site rules. Any waste arising from maintenance / fitting work shall be removed from site by the fitter and disposed of via either the D Morgan main office fitting service waste agreements (i.e. waste oils, grease cartridges, rags) or by our sub-contractor’s waste streams.

4.5 Plant, particularly articulated dump trucks, will have designated haul routes and

permitted areas for parking. These vehicles are to avoid causing any undue damage to flora and fauna which is not to be cleared in this phase of the works. Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of these works on the local ecology onsite.

4.6 Wherever possible materials will be reused locally not only to reduce waste, but also to

reduce emissions with localised rather than long haul movement of materials. It is also intended to maximise ‘dig once, place once’ options, minimising double handling of materials (saving both noise and emissions pollution).

4.7 Any hydraulic breaking operations will be kept to a minimum and within the agreed site

working hours. These operations, wherever possible, will be undertaken away from the site boundary and local residences.

4.8 Water management will be a high priority on this project. Localised bunding and lagoons

may be required to prevent surface water adversely affecting the works. It may also be necessary to excavate ‘grips’ or ‘v’ ditches to capture water and channel towards a holding area (lagoon), preferably the permanent works swales.

4.9 Where water has collected in excavations or sump holes and is required to be pumped

clear, the water will be recharged to adjacent grassed areas of site in order to prevent its release into any watercourse. If any is suspected to be contaminated (it has oily residues apparent, odour or discolouration) then it must not be pumped until verified.

4.10 Wherever possible all breakable materials on site will be processed to engineering

materials and used within the works. This will reduce the number of vehicular movements on the local roads and limit nuisance to the local community.

4.11 During the works all personnel shall remain vigilant to the potential of contaminated materials. If any materials are suspected to contain contamination (oily residues, odour or discolouration), then works will stop and samples will be taken to determine whether or not the materials are contaminated.

4.12 It is believed that asbestos containing materials may be found on site. During the clearance works all personnel shall be briefed as to the likely presence and on finding such materials they will be fenced off and a plan for dealing with them put in place. This will be to confirm that the materials contain asbestos; if notifiable then a specialist sub-contractor will be procured (if not, then trained D Morgan personnel will undertake the works); the materials will be double bagged in asbestos bags and placed in an enclosed skip for offsite disposal to a licensed site to accept asbestos waste.

4.13 There are no trees within this project that require specific protective measures and only those trees identified in the planning area for clearance will be removed.

4.14 During excavation works it is not anticipated that any archaeological findings will be made. However, all personnel will observe a watching brief and stop work immediately if any suspected archaeological findings are made.

4.15 Noise is a particular concern on all construction sites and as such every effort will be made to limit and control noisy operations. No plant will be left idling when not in use and





all plant will be suitably silenced in line with its manufacture. Noisy operations will not be permitted to continue for prolonged periods and not undertaken outside of normal working hours.

4.16 Background noise monitoring will be undertaken prior to the commencement of the works. During the construction phase, periodic noise monitoring will be undertaken. This will be using a handheld device weekly over a 15 minute period at specific locations, observed at random times during the week.

4.17 Dust control, mitigation and monitoring measures will be put in place for the duration of remediation and earthworks on site. D Morgan will be employing dust suppression and sweeping of selected roads on and around site during the works, as and when considered necessary. The generation of dust on site will be minimised, particularly during drier weather and controlled by the use of dampening down techniques using water bowsers. A tractor and bowser will be used to damp down all haul routes and any other areas with the potential to generate dust. The site supervisory team will monitor dust generation closely.

4.18 All plant used on site will be modern and well maintained such that any emissions are

within acceptable limits for the plant being used. This also ensures optimum fuel consumption.

4.19 As the works are scheduled to progress through winter months, there will be a requirement for temporary lighting. This will be set up with task lighting towers at specific work areas. All lighting will be set up such that it is focussed on work areas and consideration will be made to avoid such lighting being directed near to sightings on live roads.

4.20 In order to maintain a high standard of good practice, Omega Warrington Limited has requested that the works are registered to the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) and adhere to the scheme’s code of practice. In accordance with BREEAM requirements, a CCS score between 32 and 40 will be achieved and all sections within the scheme will achieve a score more than or equal to 3. The scheme will be implemented through each sub-contractor.

4.21 Additionally, all office staff must ensure they adopt the D Morgan ‘print both sides policy’

wherever possible and reduce the use of paper and printer ink as far as practicable. All personnel will be required to follow the ‘switch me off’ policy when leaving a room and switch off any electrical appliances which do not need to be consuming electricity.

4.22 Every effort must be made to segregate office, canteen and packaging waste and place in the relevant receptacles for recycling. There will be separate bins for paper, cardboard, plastics, cans and general waste.

5. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

5.1 Fuel/Oil (or other potentially damaging substance) Spillage

In the event of a spillage incident the following procedure must be followed;

Eliminate sources of ignition and cordon off area. Attempt to contain the spillage without risk to personal health and safety. Inform a member of the Site Supervisory Team of the approximate volume of the

spillage, location and measures taken at present.





Where necessary, use plant from the locality to form bunds, excavate to Dump Trucks or any other action which may contain/mitigate the spillage.

Use spill kits from the plant to clean up or if necessary use adjacent soils. Do not allow the spillage to enter a watercourse. Site Manager to inform WSP staff and, if necessary, contact the following;

o Fire 999 o Environment Agency 0800 807060 o United Utilities 0845 746 2200

Site Manager to liaise with the above and agree measures to remediate area. Site Manager to complete an ‘Incident Report Form’ or NCR.

5.2 Surface Water Release

In the event of surface water release the following procedure must be followed;

Attempt to contain the release without risk to personal health and safety. Inform a member of the Site Supervisory Team of the approximate volume of

water released, location and measures taken at present. Where necessary/possible, use plant from the locality to form bunds or excavate

a sump (remembering to check Permit to Dig prior to breaking ground). Site Supervisory Team to call in bowser or pumps to ensure that the release is

contained in the bund/sump and does not overflow. Site Manager to inform WSP staff and, if necessary, contact the following;

o Environment Agency 0800 807060 o United Utilities 0845 746 2200

Site Manager to liaise with the above and agree further/improved mitigation measures.

Site Manager to complete an ‘Incident Report Form’ or NCR.

5.3 Emergency Preparedness These emergency procedures should be brought to the attention of all site personnel and, at a suitable time during the works, drills should be carried out to ensure that the emergency arrangements are effective and understood by all personnel.





SITE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN 6. SITE WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN:

In line with the CL:AIRE Development Industry Code of Practice (2008) and under the objectives of the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations (England) 2008, the client and contractor shall provide a Site Waste Management Plan.

All materials will be separated/segregated as far as reasonably practicable in order to minimise the quantities of mixed materials. The waste hierarchy will be considered at all times.

The site arising materials are detailed in the tender documents and site method statements. The materials have been identified as soils, brick & concrete, vegetation, trees & hedges and general waste.

The fate of all materials will be tracked and recorded within the tables on the following pages of this Plan.

Typically; Soils Suitable engineering materials will be used for cut to fill operations. Unsuitable inert materials will be used within the landform. Brick and/or Concrete Any brick and/or concrete arising from the works will be processed (crushed) to produce engineering materials. Concrete will be crushed to 6F2 specification and brick will be used for hardcore purposes. Any tarmac arising from the works will be incorporated into the processed materials in quantities not exceeding those from the ‘Specification for Highway Works’, Series 600, Table 6/1 for the type of aggregate being produced. Vegetation, Trees & Hedges All vegetation, trees and hedges will be dealt with in the Site Clearance; chipped and cut up as necessary. Chippings will remain on site, with cuts and stumps being removed from site. General Waste All general waste will be separated into the following categories and recycled as far as possible; paper, cardboard, plastics, cans and general waste. The estimated quantities of these wastes is very low, but will be tracked throughout the works.

PRINCIPAL ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION RELATING TO THE PROJECT

Refer to McLaren Legislation Register QMS 005 on McLaren Portal.

14.2 Liaison with Site Neighbours

Undertake leaflet or letter drops to all close neighbours to the site to inform them of the likely start date(s) for

construction and for any operations that may be particularly noisy or carried out an unsociable hours. This practice is

considered good practice as informed neighbours are less likely to complain.

14.3 Establishment of Site Accommodation

Wherever possible, the location for accommodation will be reviewed to avoid visual impact to adjoining neighbours

and for wastewater discharge to a suitable approved sewer. Alternative arrangements shall be made for disposal of

sewage via specialist contractor should this not be possible. If possible the accommodation will be sited on an area of

proposed hardstanding for incorporation into the contract works as this will avoid disruption of the existing

environment.

14.4 Environmental Impact & Aspect Control Measures

The following key control measures will assist in minimising the environmental impact. See also Pre-Commencement

Health Safety and Environmental Planning Meeting Record SAF01 for site specific environmental aspects and impacts

identification. ENF001 05/13 Environmental Aspects & Impacts Register found at Appendix 8.

14.5 Earthworks Arisings

Arisings from earthworks and piling shall be stored on agreed areas for the placement of excavated materials on site.

Use arisings as much as practicable on site to minimise off-site disposal.

The objective is to ensure that the least impact is generated and ecologically sensitive areas of the site are not

damaged by indiscriminate dumping or storage.

14.6 Vehicles and Plant

If at all possible, designate specific times for deliveries outside normal peak hours and to avoid unsociable hours and

consequential disruption to neighbours.

Plant shall be positioned so that exhaust emissions do not cause damage or nuisance, and kept to a minimum by

regular maintenance.

14.7 Diesel Storage and Refuelling

Ensure that all diesel stored on site is in a secure tank and properly bunded. As far as practicable, ensure that all

refuelling is undertaken in a safe, appropriately designated area. Bunds should be of adequate capacity to contain

110% of the capacity, leakproof and kept empty of rainwater and other materials. This will avoid pollution of the

ground, and to avoid prosecution for pollution or nuisance.


14.8 Site Roads/Access routes

Ensure that site access roads are kept as clean as possible to prevent excessive contamination to the public highway.

Speed restrictions may also be imposed to prevent spread of dust.

14.9 Plant and Wheel Washing

No plant or equipment shall be washed out where there is the possibility of contamination to any natural

watercourse, particularly regarding concrete. When necessary, special washing facilities / locations shall be

established.

14.10 Storage of materials, fuels, oils and chemicals

All fuel, oil and chemicals shall be stored in containers specifically manufactured for the purpose, and/or

bunded/double skinned to prevent contamination in the event of spillage, damage. Tank capacity shall be checked

before delivery to prevent overfilling. Special care shall be taken when receiving and storing items such as oil,

chemicals, cement, lime, and paint to prevent spillage and contamination.

The contents of storage containers shall be clearly marked, to prevent accidental cross contamination.

‘Drums’ shall also be stored with lids uppermost to prevent leaking and contamination.

A licensed waste disposal contractor or the original supplier shall remove leaking or empty containers from site.

All valves and nozzles shall be protected from vandalism and unauthorised use by means of a padlock. Where this is

not possible, tanks/bowsers shall be stored in secure compound areas.

14.11 Noise

Choose plant and machinery to minimise noise emissions consistent with the technical requirements of the works. Use

noise suppression equipment if practicable. Adhere to any working hour restrictions that have been placed on the

project. Be vigilant at avoiding inadvertent excessive noise during night-time operations.

14.12 Dust

Provide damping down methods of any operations that may generate dust, these may include such activities as

earthworks, cutting, planning and sanding or by utilising plant and equipment with dust extraction and collection

facilities. Speed restrictions may assist on site access roads to mitigate this.

14.13 Lighting

The use of lighting for the works and temporary accommodation shall be carefully selected to ensure it is efficient and

effective, and positioned to ensure that light spillage is kept to a minimum.

14.14 Visual appearance

Care should be taken to ensure an overall positive attitude to housekeeping of the site, such as fencing, storage or

equipment and materials, avoidance of litter and windblown waste etc. This will provide all parties concerned with a

good impression of environmental controls leading to an enhanced perception


15. WASTE MANAGEMENT

15.1 Waste Storage

Take active steps to ensure that MCL responsibilities under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2010 and the

Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 are properly discharged, particularly in the accurate completion, and

secure retention, of waste transfer notes. Consider possibilities for segregation of waste into different mainstream

material types (wood, metals, etc) for possible recycling.

Waste shall be stored appropriately depending on type and classification, i.e. Controlled waste, Hazardous waste and

General wastes. In any event, waste storage shall be kept to a minimum and in suitable containers or locations for

disposal. Whenever possible segregation shall be implemented to allow for recycling.

Where Hazardous waste is identified, it shall only be segregated and stored following approved methods from the

Environment Agency.

MCL will maintain a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) in accordance with The Site Waste Management Plan

Regulations 2008 this can be found at in the master filing system located in the site office. The SWMP will be kept for

two years after the completion of the project and archived accordingly.

15.2 Waste Disposal

Duty of care shall be applied to all waste, and it shall be ensured that all waste disposals are carried out by registered

contractors and records of disposal controlled by waste transfer notes. Waste disposal containers/vehicles shall be

covered during transport to prevent contents escaping.

Hazardous waste shall be controlled and disposed of following the Environment Agency approved procedures, and by

implementing their consignment note system.

Hazardous Waste producer licence is to be applied prior to the commencement of the project
