TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Concerned department head shall review the activities and required resources. It will be
ensured that wherever possible recycling reuse of the material is done so that the natural
resources such as energy, water, paper, iron and steel are used in a conservative manner.
Energy usage:
Ensure that any electrical gadgets are switched off when not required. In the offices all lights
and fans will be switched off when not required. Use daylights to the maximum extent. Use
28 / 36 watt tubes and CFL’s instead of bulbs.
Only required DG sets will be operated depending on the load requirements. The work will
be planned in such a way that there is maximum usage of power generated based on the
load requirements.
Do not keep your machinery in idle running conditions. Ensure that maintenance is being
carried out from time to time.
Water usage:
Remember, Water is precious; use it judiciously and only as required
If you find a tap running unnecessarily/ leaking, close it – every drop is precious
Check the valves, joints, taps, pumps etc. checked at least half yearly for leakages/
problems and rectify it at the earliest.
Ensure that there is no overflowing from tanks / reservoirs.
Mop floors with wet cloth instead of washing with water.
Control the flow rate of valves / water in toilets & taps while usage.
Clean utensils, cups & diEHSs etc. with minimum quantity of water; soak it in water for some
time before washing.
While cleaning of the empty containers, drums etc. ensure that minimum quantity is used;
take care there is minimum spillage and no unnecessary wastage.
Use water sprinkling / drip for watering of plants.
Sheet No. 67 of 115
Where possible water will be recycled. Any water leaving the premises will be collected in a
pit so that it can be utilized for dust suppression for spraying on the road.
Paper:
Responsibility: Store
Management actions:
On construction site, and in the construction site, toilet facilities with adequate
waste water treatment must be provided;
All domestic wastewater shall be treated on site, or discharged into a
conservancy tank for removal from the site and appropriate treatment or
directly into the municipal sewerage system, if its performance is acceptable;
Depots/workshops/vehicles washing areas and concrete swills must be
placed and constructed in such a way to limit pollution of groundwater and
surrounding areas; the runoff shall be collected (channels) and treated
adequately (silt/oil separator, sediment basins…);
Natural run off shall be diverted away from the construction site and towards
storm-water drains where these are available. Appropriate measures to
prevent silt and sand entering the drainage system or water courses must be
taken (silt screens, straw bales…);
Wastewater and storm water discharges (including water from groundwater
pumping systems) shall be monitored regularly to ensure that the World Bank
limits are not exceeded; the parameters to be monitored will depend on the
characteristics of the site, but always include pH, TSS, oil and grease, and
coliform bacteria.
Sheet No. 71 of 115
Every day morning before the Site operation starts, water spraying should be
done to the entire site.
Proper Spray system should be used so that water can be utilized in effective
way without wastage.
Care should be taken so that sprinkler is not placed in the top of the Cement
bags.
Every two hours this cycle should be continued so that dust can be under
control.
If possible landscaping should be carried out with minimum cost, since grass
can prevent dust. This can be practiced looking into the soil conditions of site.
Sprinkle water on top of the Metal/Coarse aggregate which will also help in
settling the dust while transferring metal for concreting / batching plant /
crusher.
The approach road to the site can also be watered using sprinkler system to
reduce the dust.
Dust Absorber / bags / collectors can be placed near the Batching plant or
near by the concrete mixer to reduce the dust.
The top of the Fine aggregate / sand can be sprinkled with water in a mild
way to bring down the dust under control.
Sheet No. 72 of 115
Workers should not allowed emissions of fugitive dust from any transport,
handling, construction or storage activity to remain visible in atmosphere
beyond the property line of emission source.
Do not block or shut vents or construction returns.
Prohibits smoking inside the construction
Do not dispose of food waste or food wrappers in your work area.
Dispose of contaminated waste in receptacles that are emptied daily.
Do not over water plants. Remove dead leaves. Break up dirt around the plant to
avoid mold overgrowth in the dirt.
Clean-up water spills immediately.
Report water intrusion and sewage problems IMMEDIATELY to the Environment
Department.
Minimize accumulations of paper, cardboard, and other cellulose-based materials.
Clean your work area routinely.
Do not burn candles or have other scent-producing materials in the work area.
Avoid portable humidifiers.
The workers shall provide a wash pit or a wheel washing and/or vehicle
cleaning facility at the exits from work sites such as construction depots and
batching plants. At such facility, high-pressure water jets will be directed at
the wheels of vehicles to remove all spoil and dirt.
The workers shall cover loads of dust generating materials like debris and soil
being transported from construction sites. All trucks carrying loose material
should be covered and loaded with sufficient free- board to avoid spills
through the tail board or side boards.
Where it is not practicable to comply with the exposure standard for noise solely
through other control measures, administration control measures are used. These
measures reduce the noise to which a person is exposed by means of work
arrangement, including
Personal hearing protectors shall be used only as an interim measure while control
of excessive noise is being achieved by engineering control measures. The removal
of personal hearing protectors for even short periods of time can significantly reduce
their effectiveness and result in inadequate protection. Due to the difficulties of
wearing personal hearing protectors for long periods of time in certain environments,
regular brief periods in quiet areas, without personal hearing protectors, should be
allowed.
This is regardless of how long the person spends in the hearing protection area.
Where sign posting is not practicable, attach prominent warning notices to tools and
equipment indicating that personal hearing protectors must be worn when operating
them. The different types of hearing protectors available are earmuffs, earplugs,
canal caps etc.
Identify the probable noise generating equipments, machines and operations.
Following are the common noise sources
Control of Noise
Sheet No. 76 of 115
Use of pneumatic Pic/ Breaker with the exhaust silence and also with the
dampened chisel.
Renew dumper trucks exhaust silencer.
Reroute dumper through the quieter site areas.
Diesel Generators Set: the noise from DG set should be controlled by
providing an acoustic enclosure or by treating the room acoustically.
Equipment maintenance should be carried out at regular interval.
Position at 12 meter distance from the high level noise equipment/operation
an “ear Protection boundary’ by using signs. Ear protection like Ear muffs
must be worn.
