4.2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
EIA (Project Environmental Impact Assessment)
Project Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) mitigation measure shall be implement by all project’s personnel.
Environmental Impact Control
TTCL shall provide the “Environmental Control and Management Plan” for environmental impact control system of the project, this plan will meet the following principle:
- Prevent adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
- Reduce wastes and emissions to achieve reduction goals and manage
a product’s life cycle from inception to final disposal.
- Prevent Soil and Groundwater contamination.
- Control noise levels which are nuisance to project personnel and communities.
- The Facility should be low impact on the community. (e.g. Noise, Light, Odors, Smoke, Dust, etc.).
- Meet applicable regulatory requirement.
And this plan shall address the EIA mitigation measure issue; this plan will be included environmental monitoring and testing program (if required in project EIA monitoring measure) such as water sampling, noise monitoring, and emission monitoring and ambient monitoring.
Waste Management (Solid waste and Liquid waste)
- TTCL shall develop the Waste Management Plan for the project. This plan provides guideline and minimum requirements for handle, collection and separation of waste, offsite disposal method and management. Waste Management Plan established in accordance with project EIA mitigation measure, Industrial Estate requirements (if any) and 3R principle for reduce waste.
- All solid waste would be registered and the disposition would be done through an approved waste disposal company.
- For the draining of sanitary and chemical waste water, water used for the spraying or rinsing of equipment during project construction phase shall be authorized by owner and Industrial Estate.
- Prohibit littering or discarding construction material into the water drainage system.
- Site runoff shall pass though an over/under weir and be monitoring for contaminants.
Air Management
- The operation of the combustion installation or combustion engines (e.g. aggregates, welding machine, engine-driving pump, etc.) shall be in compliance with the Thailand regulation requirement.
- No waste oils may be used as fuel. Only standard fuels that can be obtained commercially may be used (e.g. light fuel oil, butane, propane, natural gas and petrol).
- The combustion installation shall be safely operated and not result in an increase of the fire risk.
- When certain activities may result in the emission of dangerous substances, the work method shall be determined beforehand.
- Open fires (with the exception of flame torch and acetylene welding/cutting and roofing burners) are forbidden.
- TTCL, Subcontractors shall keep construction machine and vehicle in good condition to reduce the pollutant emission.
- TTCL, Subcontractors shall provide canvas to cover the trucks carrying during construction material transportation to the project for material falling protection or prevent dust dispersion.
- TTCL, Subcontractors shall clean up the access roads or public roads if construction materials drop or spill during transportation.
Noise Control
Noise control measure will be applied to all project equipment by using low noise equipment where practicable. Where high noise cannot be reduced following method can be applied.
- Hydraulic piling hammers will be used wherever practicable in preference to diesel driven hammer.
- Acoustic shielding will be employed to contain the high noise levels in defined project boundaries.
- Silencers will be fitted during blow down and drying of lines and vessels during pre-commissioning.
Prior to the commencement of noisy or vibration operation TTCL Construction Manager (CM) shall inform intended working hours to owner. Noise and vibration monitoring program will be developed by TTCL.
