HSE DOCUMENTS-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND ASPECT REGISTER

The Environmental Impact And Aspect Register uploaded by QHSE Documents covers the following aspects, impacts, and control measures:

Aspect

1. General Waste

2. Hazardous Waste

3. Sewage waste

4. Noise Pollution

5. Vehicle Parking & Use

6. Plant & Material Storage

7. Heavy Equipment Operation

8. Contamination of Land

9. Inert waste

10. Use of Paper

11. Use of Chemicals

12. Light Pollution 

13. Generators and Electricity use

14. Excavation

15. Backfilling

16. Vehicle washing 

17. Transporting/ Purchasing Materials

Impact

1. Increase in landfill sites due to increase in waste. Inappropriate disposal may lead to legislative non-compliance, also contaminate the non-approved waste dumping site.

2. Ground & and water contamination as a result of incorrect hazardous waste disposal. Inappropriate disposal may lead to legislative non-compliance. 

3. Ground & and water contamination as a result of incorrect disposal. Inappropriate disposal may lead to legislative non-compliance and affect the flora and fauna.

4. Noise impact on residents, workers, and local wildlife

5. Ground/water/air pollution as a result of spillages and releases from poorly maintained vehicles. Inappropriately parked vehicles may lead to restricted access to emergency services or evacuation. Increased mileage and driving resulting in increased fuel consumption and reduced air quality.

6. Ground/water/air pollution as a result of spillages and releases from inappropriately stored or poorly maintained plants. Also resulting in possible access restrictions for emergency services/evacuation. Poorly stored plants/materials can increase fire risk

7. Oil spillage and soil contamination due to poorly maintained equipment. Noise pollution and air pollution (dust and smoke) due to equipment operations.

8. Contamination is caused by leaks and spillages that are allowed/left to soak into the ground

9. Contamination of soil and groundwater. Can affect biodiversity. Improper disposal will result in legislative non-compliance

10. Consumption of natural resources, and an increase in waste generation. And increase in energy consumption due to the printing of papers.

11. Contamination of soil and water body. Can affect flora and fauna. Health effect on workers.

12. Effect on local fauna.

13. Increased air pollution due to the use of generators, soil contamination due to diesel spillage from generators, and noise pollution due to generators running.

14. Soil contamination due to spillage from pieces of equipment Dust generation, and noise pollution due to equipment operation. 

15. Soil contamination due to spillage from equipment Dust generation, noise pollution due to equipment operation.

16. Water and soil contamination due to the mixing of chemicals from vehicles into water and wastewater seepage into soil.

17. Increase in air emissions as a result of sourcing materials from suppliers based on a significant distance from the project and by placing numerous small orders instead of one big order. Increased waste stream (excess materials) as a result of over-ordered.

Control Measures

1. Waste controls are dependent on on-site requirements and space (i.e. not enough space on all sites to segregate waste). Waste generated on-site will be disposed of in an approved landfill by a waste management contractor.

2. Hazardous waste is stored safely and securely. Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) approved waste management contractor will handle this waste. Waste from clinics will be handled by HCP.

3. Sewage waste will be disposed of in an approved disposal area by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) approved waste management contractor. 

4. Due to the environment in which the organization operates, noise control is typically limited to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and control of operation hours (i.e. during daylight hours). Well-maintained pieces of equipment will be used and will be regularly maintained.

5. Designated areas to park vehicles. Regularly inspect and maintain the vehicle(s) to prevent leakages. Encourage drivers to switch off the engine while the vehicle is parked, wherever possible by encouraging telephone conference calls for meetings as opposed to traveling to reduce air emissions.

6. All plants and equipment are regularly inspected and maintained to reduce spillages and leaks. Designated parking areas/storage areas for plant & and material will be constructed.

7. Preventive maintenance of equipment will be carried out regularly. A sprinkling of water to control dust.

8. Equipment will be maintained regularly. Old plants and equipment will be replaced with well-maintained ones.

9. Inert waste generated on site will be disposed of in an approved landfill by an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) approved waste management contractor.

10. Electronic documentation and email interaction will be encouraged. Wherever possible double side of paper will be utilized. A computer filing system will be preferred.  

11. HazCom training will be given to involved workers. A separate chemical storage area will be constructed for proper storage and waste chemicals will be stored and disposed of properly. Proper PPE will be provided to workers. Warning and information notices and MSDS will be displayed in the chemical storage and usage area. 

12. All activities will be carried out during the daytime. Minimum possible lights will be used during night time.

13. Use modern energy-efficient equipment, switch off lights when not in use, and switch off computers and AC units when not in use. Dip trays and concrete pads for generators to prevent soil contamination. Generators are placed away from living and working areas to minimize noise pollution and will be maintained regularly to minimize air pollution.

14. "All equipment is regularly inspected and maintained to reduce spillages and leaks.  Water will be sprinkled on excavated material to control dust."

15. "All equipment is regularly inspected and maintained to reduce spillages and leaks.  Backfilling material drop distance from equipment bucket will be minimized to control dust."

16. A designated washing area with concrete slab and side bund walls will be constructed and a wastewater line will be connected to the STP line, also oil separator will be installed. 

17. Materials purchased from local suppliers and consolidated into 1 big order, wherever possible to reduce carbon emissions. Any materials no longer required for the project are to be stored in the laydown (if possible) and used on other or future projects.
