Post Flood National Highway (N-55) Rehabilitation Project ADB/ICB/PNHRP
PKG-No.7, Lot-2)

Site Specific Environmental Management Plan

batching plants, fuel and chemical storage areas, etc.) may result into the soil
erosion and contamination.

The impacts of soil erosion and contamination would be temporary and


moderate negative in nature. The following mitigation measures have been
incorporated in the construction activities and will be implemented by the
Contractor to alleviate or avoid these impacts:

 Areas susceptible to erosion will be protected by installing necessary


temporary and permanent drainage works as soon as possible and by
taking any other measures necessary to prevent storm water from
concentrating in streams and scouring slopes, banks, etc.
 Any runnels or erosion channels developed during the construction or
maintenance period shall be backfilled and compacted and the areas
restored to a proper condition.
 Non-productive, barren lands in broken terrain, nullahs and publicly
recognized waste lands shall be used for borrowing materials;
 The excavation of earth fill shall be limited to an approximate depth of 50
to 100 cm.
 In case the use of agricultural land is unavoidable, the top 30 cm of the
plough layer shall be stripped off and stockpiled. Where deep ditching is to
be carried out, the top one-meter layer of the ditching area shall be stripped
and stockpiled for redressing the land after the required borrow material
has been removed.
 Drainage interception ditches shall be built around the borrow pits to
prevent surface run off causing erosion during the rainy season.
 Traffic and movement over stabilized areas shall be restricted and
controlled, and damage to stabilized areas shall be repaired and
maintained.
 The road embankments and road cuttings shall be vegetated with a fast
growing crop and a native seed mix immediately after fill placement to
prevent scour and to encourage stabilization. Use of stone pitching or
riprap shall be made at appropriate places especially around overpasses,
bridges, culverts.
 Discharge zones from drainage structures shall be furnished with riprap to
reduce erosion.
 Side slopes shall be adjusted to a gradient necessary to reduce erosion
potential or, if steeper, stabilized, covered with riprap or other material to
prevent soil erosion.
 In areas where construction activities have been completed and where no
further disturbance would take place, rehabilitation and revegetation
should commence as soon as possible.
 The disposal of waste asphalt shall be made in approved locations such as
borrow pits or natural depressions and shall not be within the ROW.
Unless located in areas with impervious soils, encapsulation with pre-laid
impervious liners including walls and capping is required with the
objective to prevent water percolating through the waste materials and

Site Specific Environmental Management Plan

leaching toxic chemicals into the surrounding soils. On completion of


disposal at the site, the area shall be capped with a compacted thickness of
at least 0.5 meters of impermeable soil covered with at least 200 mm of top
soil and shall be finally landscaped.

4.5 Surface and Groundwater Contamination


The construction activities may result into surface and groundwater
contamination due to the disposal of construction waste generated as a result
of project activities. Construction waste, if left unattended will result into the
generation of hasitiate that would percolate through the soil strata into the
underground water table and hence, would be resulted into the severe
contamination. The following mitigation measures have been incorporated in
the construction activities and will be implemented by the Contractor to
prevent the surface and groundwater contamination.

 Construction work close to the streams or other water bodies is prohibited


especially during monsoon period.
 Construction work is confined within the ROW.
 The solid waste will be disposed of in designated sites to sustain the water
quality for domestic requirements.
 Regular water quality monitoring will be in place according to determined
sampling schedule. Environmental Monitoring Plan is attached as
(Annexure-III).

4.6 Traffic Management


A proper traffic management diversion plan will be in place during
construction activities to overcome the problem of traffic jams causing
inconvenience to the people passing through the road crossings.

The impacts are temporary and minor negative in nature and will be mitigated
by implementing proper alternative traffic management plan. The measures
include the following:

 Existing road will be constructed in a way that traffic flow is not disturbed.
 Alternative routes will be not allowed.
 Proper traffic management with marking will be done on the existing road
along with traffic signs as attached herewith (Annexure-IV)

4.7 Air Quality Monitoring


The construction machinery, hydrocarbons from asphalt plants and vehicular
traffic; dust emissions due to movement of construction machinery on earthen
service roads etc. would be resulted into the degradation of air quality causing
health and environmental impacts. The following mitigation measures have
been incorporated in the construction activities and will be implemented by the
Contractor to prevent the degradation of air quality.
Post Flood National Highway (N-55) Rehabilitation Project ADB/ICB/PNHRP
PKG-No.7, Lot-2)

Site Specific Environmental Management Plan

 Construction vehicles shall comply with speed limits and haul distances
shall be minimized.
 Material loads shall be suitably covered and secured during transportation.
 Haul trucks carrying aggregate fill materials will be kept covered with
canvass sheet to help contain construction material being transported
between sites.
 Surface treating or overlaying diversion tracks with shingle, and sprinkling
water across diversion tracks will be the regular practice to control dust.
 Exposed soil and material stockpiles shall be protected against wind
erosion and the location of stockpiles shall take into consideration the
prevailing wind directions and locations of sensitive receptors.
 Fabric filters or wet scrubbers will be installed at asphalt hot mix and
batching plants to control dust emissions.
 Asphalt hot mix and batching plants will be located at safe distance from
the residential areas, schools and hospitals.
 Dust mask will be provided to the workers.
 Air Quality Monitoring will be carried out to monitor the Carbon
Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and
Particulate Matter (PM10). Monitoring for the above mentioned parameters
will be 40 meters from hot mix plants. Frequency of the monitoring will be
bi-annually and will be conducted for 24 hours at advised sampling point.
Monitoring of Particulate Matter (PM10) will be on monthly basis and
samples will be collected in active construction area and asphalt and
concrete mixing stations. The environmental monitoring plan is attached as
(Annexure III).

4.8 Noise Control


Noise pollution will be due to increase in mobility and construction activities.
However, this impact will be temporary but moderate negative in nature. The
Contractor is responsible for compliance with the relevant legislation with
respect to noise.
All mitigation measures mentioned below will be taken in order to minimize
the impacts of noise in the Project Area:

 Selection of latest equipment and plant with minimum noise level will be
ensured by suitable in-built damping techniques and appropriate muffling
devices.
 Minimizing the noise produced from machines and equipment through
noise barriers i.e. wall construction around the machine.
 Providing the construction workers with suitable hearing protection like
ear cap, ear muffs etc.
 Avoiding heavy machinery like percussion hammers and pneumatic drills,
especially during night time.
 Locating the concrete and asphalt mixing stations away from residential
areas, particularly schools, hospitals.
 Noise quality monitoring will be carried out as per schedule given in

Borrow material will be taken from recommended and approved borrow
areas. The recommended pits for borrowing shall be rehabilitated
progressively till the end of the construction. The rehabilitation activity
and process will take into consideration the aesthetics of the area and
safety of people, animals and community. The agricultural fields which
exist near to the project area are used as borrow pits by the approval of the
Engineer & the permission of the field owner.

2. Restoration of Borrow Pits


Before extraction commences, licenses and permits shall be checked and
limits of disturbance and/or clearing will be clearly marked out on the site
before any ground disturbing activity takes place.
At the completion of extraction, the former borrow pit will be made stable
and safe. This usually requires the sides of the pit to be reshaped with
gentle safe grades. All disturbed areas associated with borrow pits part of
the restoration plan.

3. Training of workers
The working staff on the borrow sites or pits and drivers for its haulage
will be trained for proper excavation, haulage and storage of borrow

Locations of borrow pits selection is organized. The detailed location map
is submitted to the Supervision Consultant as shown herewith in
Annexure-II locations of the borrow pits.

5. RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk assessment and management are used interchangeably to describe a sequence of


analysis and management activities focused on creating a project-specific response to the
inherent risks of developing a new capital facility. The objectives of Risk Assessment
for this construction phase SSEMP is described in below.

Risk Assessment Objectives and Expected Outcomes

5.1 Risk Identification

The risk identification process identifies and categorizes risks that could affect the
project. It documents these risks and, at a minimum, produces a list of risks that can be
assigned to a team member and tracked throughout the project development and
delivery process. Risk identification is continuous and new risks should continually be
invited into the process. The tools and techniques outlined in this chapter should
support the risk identification process, but it will be the people involved in the exercises who
are most critical to the success of the process.

5.1.1Risk Assessment Process

Risk is assessed as the likelihood that the activity will have an effect on the environment
as well as the consequence of the effect occurring, as described below:
Risk = Likelihood1 × Consequence2.

Likelihood scale

Environmental Management for Construction Handbook. Any Medium to Significant risk


requires an environmental management measure to manage the potential environmental
risk. Judgment will be required concerning the application of an environmental
management measure to mitigate low risk situations.

Risk Response Options

Risk identification, assessment, and analysis exercises form the basis for sound risk
response options. A series of risk response actions to avoid or mitigate the identified
risks is considered as follows:
Avoided (by taking appropriate steps).
Reduced (by an alternative approach).
Handled by a combination of the above.
All the risks assessed are handled by providing mitigation, management or both.
Road construction introduces huge quantities of foreign material to the natural environment
and disrupts the soil conditions and runoff behavior for hundreds of kilometers. Consequently,
the road construction process is paramount in reducing the environmental impact of roads. In
general, the materials used for road construction affect the chemical composition of the
surrounding environment (through the toxicity of leachate, runoff and groundwater) while the
design and construction methods cause mechanical damage (erosion, soil disruption,
watershed changes). The risk assessment process is undertaken with a risk assessment
matrix, provided in below.

The measures to providing public safety include:
 Providing separation between the public and the construction workers. This is a key element to
providing safety to road users and the construction team. This will be done through the use of
barriers, barricading Tape, making of service roads for contractor’s machinery, and availability
of flagmen to provide sufficient separation and safety measures to minimize the impact of the
works.
 Implementing specific traffic management measures only where absolutely necessary to reduce
traffic speed, volumes and alignment to provide safety to both construction crews and the public
and instruct the vehicle drivers to use service road.
 Limiting the working hours of works that could pose substantial impact on road users and the
public.
 Minimizing disruption during peak traffic periods, public holiday weekends and school
holidays by limiting the extent of traffic management undertaken during these times.
 Implementation of visual barriers to reduce potential distraction of road users.
 Community consultation and notification to keep road users and the public up to date regarding
traffic management measures or restrictions.

Safety and Amenity for Pedestrians

While planning construction activities, safety control measures for pedestrians will be developed. For
this purpose, number of pedestrians, type of their work activity like office, residential, recreational etc,
origin and destination points of the pedestrians, number of vulnerable pedestrians like young persons,
elderly, vision impaired, disabled persons and Proximity of pedestrian generation developments, such
as schools, shopping centers, railway stations, bus terminals.
To provide a safe environment for pedestrians:
Post Flood National Highway (N-55) Rehabilitation Project ADB/ICB/PNHRP
PKG-No.7, Lot-2)
Site Specific Environmental Management Plan

 The contractor will clearly define the boundaries of all work areas, and provide defined walking
paths, where required.
 Hazardous areas will be barricaded to restrict physical access.
 Appropriate safety awareness sign boards will be installed.
 Pedestrian’s pathways will be free of the trip hazards.
Safety and Amenity for Public Transport

Local roads or property accesses used by public transport will be reviewed to ensure safe alternative or
temporary stop locations during the execution of the project. The locations of any alternative or temporary
stop locations, including school bus stops, will be confirmed in conjunction with affected transport services
and regular users. Accordingly, safety control measures will be developed for the safe movement of the
vehicles especially during peak hours.

Managing Construction Vehicular Movement

The effective management of construction vehicle movements on site and throughout the road network is
critical to the success of all projects. Construction vehicle movements will be planned with the aim to
minimize the risk to other road users and keep the traffic generated by the project to minimum.

Drivers` Responsibilities

It will be required to ensure that drivers employed on the Project, whether direct employees or
subcontractors, understand a responsibility to drive safely. Moreover, the credibility of drivers will be
assessed on the basis of past experience, reviews from previous employees, license, knowledge and
trainings etc.

Hazardous Movements

When planning construction vehicle movements, the following movements are considered hazardous:
 Entering and exiting work sites to and from adjacent travel lanes.
 U-turns movements across travel lanes.
 Reversing maneuvers within the work area and in the adjacent travel lane.
 Travelling through the work area.
 Transit of trucks through school zones when the school zone periods are in effect.
 Right-turn and Left-turn movements at high speed.

Road Safety barriers

Safety barrier will be used especially in areas where traffic is diverted from one route to another. To
enhance the visibility of safety barriers, reflecting tapes are used.

Signage

Sign boards also play a very important role in traffic management as they provide road safety information to
the road users. Different types of sign boards will be used during the execution of the project like Existing
information signage, speed limit signage, safety information signage, directional signage for local roads
and advance warning signage etc.

Safety Cones

Safety cones will also be placed on roads to temporarily redirect traffic in a safe manner.
They shall be used for traffic redirection or advance warning of hazards or dangers, or the prevention of
traffic.
Post Flood National Highway (N-55) Rehabilitation Project ADB/ICB/PNHRP
PKG-No.7, Lot-2)
Site Specific Environmental Management Plan

Studs

A large number of studs will be used throughout the project site to control vehicle speed.
High profile and low profile studs will be used at places according to their requirement. They shall be
used to reduce vehicle speed, segregate lanes, at diversions, at access and egress routes, near schools
and public places and near construction sites.

Traffic Triangles

Traffic triangles will be used to alert other drivers to issues ahead of them on the road.

all work crews and visitors.

Types of Safety & Security Events

The variety of safety and security events, impacts, locations, levels of severity, and combinations
with other elements or other emergencies makes it impossible to define and plan for every
scenario. However, general types of events can be identified that may be faced by contractors,
whether natural (e.g. flooding), accidental (e.g., fall), intentional (e.g., theft), or technological
(e.g., communications failure). Contractor CSSPs must adequately address reasonable possibilities.
Listed below are safety and security events and emergencies for which CONTRACTORS shall
be prepared to respond to.

 Natural events such as extreme temperatures

 Structural collapse or imminent collapse of structures or buildings

 Fire or smoke at or near works areas

 Accidental or intentional release of hazardous and non-hazardous material

 Loss of power, lighting or communications at job sites

 Collision involving private vehicles and/or construction vehicles/equipment


 Person struck by vehicle or construction equipment

 Theft of material or equipment from job sites

 Vandalism or criminal acts

 Response to injuries, fatalities, medical emergencies or equipment/facility damage

 Pandemic of communicable or infectious disease

 Site evacuation, including persons with disabilities and

 Other scenarios deemed reason able and appropriate.

Signage& Access Control

Proper signage shall be placed on the exterior of each work site so that persons approaching the site
from any area, sidewalk or known or anticipated access point are sufficiently informed that the
approaching a controlled area.
Signage must identify the site as a worksite, with restricted public entry, and warn of the
potential dangers. A phone number must be provided for notification of hazardous or
emergency conditions or to report suspicious or in appropriate activity.
Sign age shall be placed within the site prohibiting un-authorized crew members from
operating machinery or equipment for which they are not qualified or trained, informing site
crews and visitors of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements and any other safety
or security requirements.
Appropriate access controls shall be implemented a tall worksite. Access control shall include
barriers, fencing and gates or other methods to prevent unauthorized individuals and vehicles from
entering the worksite.
All work sites on and along public road ways shall provide physical separation through traffic
control and pedestrian control, using barrels, barriers, tape, signage, or other means as
appropriate. Work performed in close proximity to traffic must comply with all SOPs set by the
Contractor. Work zones must be adequately protected from live traffic.
Contractor shall keep entry/exit records of all construction work zone visitors. Each visitor shall
be briefed and trained as appropriate about concerned hazards and dangers present at the work
site before they are allowed to enter. All authorized work site visitors shall be required to wear

while under the influence of alcohol or any prescription drug that was not specifically
prescribed to that person and taken in the directed amounts. No person shall operate any
vehicle or machinery, or work in hazardous areas while under any narcotic or drug that
impairs judgment or cause dizziness or drowsiness unless there is written approval by the
attending physician. Particular concern shall be applied if this individual performs a safety
sensitive role and/or operates equipment or machinery at the job site. Any person found in such
condition must be immediately removed by the site foreman. Contractor shall enforce all
alcohol and drug-free work place policies and requirements.
The use of illegal drugs and alcohol is strictly prohibited on all CONTRACTORS construction
project sites. As part of their Construction Safety and Security Plan, construction contractors and
all subcontractors are required to have a Program that addresses the prohibited use of alcohol
and drugs, including pre-placement, periodic, for cause, and post-accident/incident testing.

Fall Protection

Contractors are committed to100%continuous fall protection, whenever workers are exposed to
fall hazards of six feet (6') or greater. This policy applies to all personnel working for or on
behalf of Contractors.

 Contractors will take all practical measures to eliminate, prevent, and control fall hazards.
All work will be planned with the eliminate identified fall hazards. When a fall hazard has been
identified, and cannot be eliminated, then effective means of fall protection will be
implemented.

 Employees who are exposed to falls of six feet (6’) or greater while working on scaffolds,
elevated decks, elevated platforms, low-slope roofing, stairways, stair wells, reinforced
steel, and any other elevated area or equipment, and excavations with a slope greater than
40 degrees will be protected from falls. There is no set safe distance from a leading edge
or perimeter that would exempt a worker from fall protection.

 Any employee who must remove a guardrail, wall or floor opening cover, or other
fall protection system in the course of their work will be responsible for providing
inter protection for themselves as well as others and immediately replacing the

 Protective system when their work is complete, during breaks or at the end of the
work shift.

 When no other practical means off all protection can be used, employees will be tied off
a tall times utilizing a personal fall arrest system.
Employees may work from ladders without personal fall protection when the following
criteria are met:

 Working at height does not exceed 6 feet.

 Work can be performed without reaching beyond the side rail limits
of the ladder.

 (Worker remains inside the area between the vertical side rails)

 Ladder is properly tied off/secured or in the case of a step ladder; legs


are fully

 extended and spreaders are locked.

 Work does not involve working within15 feet of a fall exposure such
as an elevated

 slab perimeter.

Amber Light son Vehicles

Amber warning lights shall be used on all vehicles in work zones to identify the min protected areas
from adjacent traffic and other work or construction vehicles and to improve their visibility
within traffic areas.

Fire Protection & Fire Prevention

Temporary fire protection measures, such as fire extinguishers will be installed at required places.
If a fire extinguisher is discharged for any purpose it will be reported to a supervisor and removed
from the work area.

 Combustible refuse from construction operations will not be burned or dumped anywhere
on the construction site. Such refuse will be removed at frequent intervals, as needed.

 Oily rags and waste are to be stored separately in metal containers fitted with

Self-closing lids. Trash and refuse must be placed in trash containers provided for this purpose.

 No open fires are permitted.

 A minimum clearance of 15 feet from fire hydrants must be maintained at all times for
stored materials.

 All fire safety rules and signs will be observed and obeyed.

 No Smoking will be allowed near-by such points.

Fire Fighting:

Immediate and appropriate action is the key to preventing major losses due to fires. If a fire occurs,
call HSE Staff immediately and assist with evacuation of the area if necessary. If possible,
remove or shut off the fuel source such as removing debris or material or shutting off the fuel
supply. Evacuation routes shall be kept clear. After the fire has been extinguished, a thorough
investigation shall be conducted and documented.

Severe Weather

The project activities shall include procedures to address severe weather that affects
construction sites, including the protection of machines/equipment and the crew working on
location. Protection and hydration will be provided for workers in extreme heat. Rain must not be

Site Specific Environmental Management Plan

All equipment, tool sand materials will be stored, stacked, located, placed, temporarily
spotted, or set up for manipulation in such a manner as to render it highly improbable that an
accident/incident or injury could occur in the work area.

The following measures regarding housekeeping will be taken;

 All material, spoils, debris, etc. is to be cleaned-up as it accumulates and at the end of
each work shift.

 Accumulation of trash and debris will not be tolerated.

 Access walkways, road ways, and fire lanes will not be blocked with material, tools,
ladders, scaffolds, welding leads, air hoses or electrical cords.

 Trash containers will be placed at appropriate locations.

 Stacks of lumber, structural steel, and similar materials shall be maintained so the stack is
stable, to prevent falling or collapsing. No lumber, structural steel, or similar materials
will be stacked/stored above fourteen feet (14’).

Security Risk

In view of the present security situation, the Contractor will have to make necessary security
measures to avoid the risk of security. Due to the uncertainty of the attacker the measures for
security will be with the orientation of precaution. The following precaution measures will be
taken strictly.

 All camps will be fenced with temporary arrangement and at the entry of fenced the camp,
security guards will be deployed for the security checking. All persons who enter or exit
from the camp will be asked and searched. All vehicles coming inside will be thoroughly
searched to avoid taking any hazardous materials. The person who is not cooperative with
the security staff for checking will be rejected to enter or exit from the gate.

 All staff working for the project from the contractor will be issued a company working
card to identity and such identity card will be required to be put on the obvious position.
Anyone who is not taking such cards may be asked and searched by the security person. If
the person cannot answer these questions satisfactorily they may be treated as the

suspect and taken by the police deployed at the camps or from the nearby police station.

 Coordination with local police & authorities will be done to acquire more support and
facilities from these authorities.

Site Inspections

Daily inspections of construction sites, by compete and trained persons, shall be performed to ensure
the physical and behavioral conformance with this Plan, the Contractor CSSP, and applicable
local, state, and Federal regulations. Each inspection shall be logged. Any findings of non-
conformance shall be escalated as a safety /security finding and brought to resolution in a timely
manner. For findings of imminent danger, corrective action must be taken immediately; if
immediate corrective action is not possible, the job location shall be shut down until the condition
can be remedied.

Construction Safety and Security Reporting

Any one witnessing or otherwise having knowledge of unsafe behavior or an unsafe


condition on or around the construction site shall immediately report it to the foreman,
supervisor or designated Safety and Security Manager at the site. The responsible party must take
immediate action to remedy the situation. If the unsafe conditioner practice cannot be
immediately corrected (e.g., a risk resulting from defective equipment), then work shall be halted at
the impacted part of the job site. Police shall be called immediately if a life-threatening situation
is present.
A written report following the incident shall be submitted to the PM or CM with in one day of the
event, to include details of the event, persons involved, time/date and work conditions of the
event, action taken, and suspected/known causes of the event. A full report to be submitted
within three days of the incident shall include the above information as well as detailed findings
as to the cause of the event and the corrective action taken to prevent, if possible, future
recurrences.

Hazard sand Vulnerability Identification & Management

A central element of a construction safety and security program is the management of


construction site hazard sand vulnerabilities. A key tool to support this is a safety and security
Post Flood National Highway (N-55) Rehabilitation Project ADB/ICB/PNHRP

Site Specific Environmental Management Plan
risk assessment, which identifies hazard sand vulnerabilities for the physical construction
aspects of the project and the develops methods to mitigate or control such risks to acceptable
levels or to eliminate them. Contractor CSSPs must include a methodology for assessing hazards
and vulnerabilities with in their work site areas. Contractor will perform the hazard and
vulnerability assessment priority to performing work

on the project. The outcome from the risk assessment and the plan for appropriate
mitigations must be provided to the CM for approval prior to the start of field work on the
project.

Training

The Contractor shall develop a health, safety and security training program and provide
instructional health, safety, and security training for all staff working at construction sites.
Training shall advise all employees at construction sites of the potential hazards on the site; the
knowledge and procedures to identify, mitigate, and /or avoid such hazards; and actions to be taken
in the even to health, safety, or security incident.
All trainings shall be conducted by a qualified competent person familiar with the work and
hazards at the job sites, and deemed competent in terms of education, relevant experience, and
instructional capability.

Internal Audit &Review

Contractor shall do internal audit & review to ensure compliance with this Plan and the
Contractor’s CSSP, to ensure a safe, healthy, and secure environment, both physically and
behaviorally, for workers, equipment, property, visitors and the general public at and near
work sites. Internal audit maybe (I) At least once every year; (ii) After a major safety or
security incident.

Annexure – VII: Wastewater Management Material and Solid Waste Management

Waste Water Management

1. Waste Water Treatment


The waste water and liquid effluents released from plants, workshops, service stations
kitchens, washrooms and toilets need to be managed properly.
Waste water produced from the toilets should be separately collected from other waste
waters; and released in septic tank for settling, and then to soakage pit. The waste water
and other liquid effluents produced from the kitchens, car wash stations, washrooms etc
must be collected and released in the soakage pit directly.
The typical layout, design and flow chart for all the waste water and liquid effluents
management is given in the attached sketch.

2. Design Criteria of Septic Tanks and Soakage Pits

Septic Tanks

 The septic tank must be constructed with brick/ block walls, strong enough to
withstand force of the waste water discharged inside the tank. The floor of septic tank
must be cemented.
 The size of a septic tank is based on the number of users and the amount of dilution
water in the sewage. Average retention period of sewage in a septic tank is 12-24
hours or even more where the sewage is fresh as in residential installations.
 It is considered that as the dilution per head is more than five gallons and less than 40
gallons, a septic tank having a content of about 2.5 cubic feet per users will do the
work required.
 The function of septic tank is to produce certain biological and chemical changes by
partial liquefaction and gasification(decomposition) of human excreta discharged into
it, through the action of anaerobic bacteria which flourish in the absence of free
oxygen, humidity, darkness and warmth which are the conditions created in a septic
tank, thus reducing the bulk of the sewage.
 The size of tank includes for one-year sludge storage.
 Frequency of sludge removal is optional and may be removed at intervals of one to
four years.
Post Flood National Highway (N-55) Rehabilitation Project ADB/ICB/PNHRP
PKG-No.7, Lot-2)
Site Specific Environmental Management Plan
Soakage Pits

The walls of soakage pit must be constructed with brick/ block, strong enough to
withstand force of the waste water discharged inside the pit. The floor of soakage pit
doesn’t need cementing only a sand and gravel filter bed of about 1 feet thickness,
moreover overflow of the soakage pit shall be diverted to the nearby waste water
channels if any.

Materials Management on Construction Sites

Materials management involves procedures and practices designed to reduce or eliminate


pollution of surface or ground water from stored materials. Environmental stewardship
entails use of
Management procedures for stockpiling:

 Contaminated and uncontaminated soil.


 Vegetative waste and paving materials.
 Materials removed from drains, ditches and culverts.
 Waste piles and any other material that could impact storm water quality.

The following environmental stewardship practices are recommended in managing


materials at construction sites:

 Minor slides often occur during major storms. Stockpiles should be removed as
soon as practicable and materials should be placed so that waterways are not
impacted.
 During rain events, stockpiles of “cold mix” asphalt (i.e., pre-mixed aggregate and
asphalt binder) should be covered. During rain events, soil stockpiles should be
covered or protected with soil stabilization measures and a temporary perimeter
sediment barrier.
 During rain events, stockpiles of Portland cement concrete rubble, asphalt
concrete, asphalt concrete rubble, aggregate base or aggregate sub base should be
covered or protected with a temporary perimeter sediment barrier.

Materials Storage

 Sites where chemicals, cements, solvents, paints, or other potential water


pollutants are to be stored shall be isolated in areas where they will not cause
runoff pollution.
 Toxic chemicals and materials, such as pesticides, paints, and acids, shall be
stored according to manufacturers’ guidelines.
 Overuse of chemicals should be avoided and great care should be taken to prevent
accidental spillage.
 Containers shall never be washed in or near flowing streams or storm water
conveyance systems.
 Groundwater resources shall be protected from leaching by placing a plastic mat,
tar paper, or other impervious materials on any areas where toxic liquids are to be
opened and stored.
