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.).

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

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.

3. MONITORING AND AWARENESS

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).

PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN

Omega South Zone 7 Phase 1

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

PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN

Omega South Zone 7 Phase 1

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.

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.

 Along with any client objectives issued and to assist the project team and contractors the following objectives have
been agreed with the project team

• Minimize dust during the project to surrounding environment

• Minimise waste and maximise recycling with a target of 2% waste to landfill
• Environmental awareness tool box talks to operatives on refuelling, house keeping, recycling etc
• Monitor aspects and impacts register

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
