4. DEFINITION
4.1 Body of Water
A body of water is any significant accumulation of water such as an ocean, a lake, or a river.
Some bodies of water can be man-made, or artificial, such as a pond, lake or harbor, but most
are naturally occurring geographical features. Bodies of water that are navigable are known as
waterways.
4.2 Landfill
A landfill, also known as a dump, is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial and is
the oldest form of waste treatment. Landfills have been the most common methods of
organized waste disposal. Landfills are used for waste management purposes, such as the
temporary storage, consolidation and transfer, or processing of waste material (sorting,
treatment, or recycling).
4.3 Environmental Impact Assessment
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the likely influence a project
may have on the environment. “Environmental Impact Assessment can be defined as: The
process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other
relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and
commitments made. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision-makers
consider environmental impacts of the project during the project site mobilization for
construction up to operation.
4.4 Hazardous Material
Any gaseous, liquid, or solid, which due to its quantity, physical, chemical or infectious
characteristic has, the potential to harm health or the environment when improperly handled,
treated or disposed of hazardous materials are classified into the following categories:
Flammables, Explosives, Pesticides, Chemicals and Hospital waste. Others are
Pharmaceuticals, non-ferrous metals, corrosive chemicals/materials/wastes that may react
with other materials dangerously (e.g. Glue, paints, paint thinner, Air freshener, detergents
and nail polish).
4.5 Waste
Waste is an unwanted or undesired material or substance (solid or liquid). It is also referred to
as rubbish, trash, garbage, or junk depending upon the type of material and the regional
terminology.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1 Site Manager
He is the main responsible person in the implementation of the Environment Management
Procedure. He shall create an Environmental team through HSSE Manager that will make
sure that all the provision of this procedure is followed. The Site Manager shall make sure that
this procedure is reviewed and updated based on the current Environmental Regulations set
up by the statutory authority.

6. WASTE MANAGEMENT
This waste management plan shall provide a practical guide designed to identify all the wastes
that will be generated throughout the construction of the MD project and to define options for
their re-use or management.
This plan has been developed to ensure adequate response to the potential environmental
impacts of the wastes produced by the project. It is designed to achieve and maintain
environmentally sound practices for sanitation and for conservation of the environment.
To achieve this purpose, MD will emphasize the following:
(1) Ensure Clients standards and Local Environmental Laws are implemented.
(2) Optimize the use and reuse of materials.
(3) Analyze the environmental implications of all works activities.
Explosive
Flammable
Oxidizing Potential
Toxic
Corrosive
A hazardous waste may be made non-hazardous by removal of the hazardous
characteristic. Thus oily wastes- may be made non-hazardous by incineration of the oil,
providing, of course, the ash is non-hazardous. Wastes that have too high or too low of
pH may be made non-hazardous by neutralization, if that is their only hazardous
characteristic.
(1.2) Non-Hazardous Waste
Non-hazardous-wastes are all wastes that are not hazardous wastes and are not inert
construction wastes. This includes common garbage, office wastes, construction

wastes that are burnable such as boxes, and treated sewage effluent and sewage
sludge.
(1.3) Inert Construction Wastes
Inert construction wastes are wastes that are solid and on disposal in a landfill are not
reasonably expected to undergo physical, chemical, or biological changes to such an
extent as to produce substances that may cause an adverse effect. Such wastes
include but are not limited to demolition debris, concrete, asphalt, glass, ceramic
materials, unpainted scrap metal, and dry timber or wood that has not been chemically
treated, but does not include hazardous wastes.
Note that hazardous or non-hazardous wastes, herein, cannot contaminate the scrap
metal and other wastes defined. Wastes contaminated with hazardous substances are
hazardous by definition.
(2) Waste Identification and Categorization
The followings are some of the identified wastes types expected for most of the MD
projects and the waste categorization. Please refer to Waste Management Procedure
(JL56-PP-08-P52) for brief description and proper disposal procedure for each waste.
(2.1) Oily waste
(2.2) Paint waste
(2.3) Cement and concrete waste
(2.4) Vegetation debris
(2.5) Scrap metal
(2.6) Wood waste
(2.7) Glass
(2.8) Plastics
(2.9) Grit blasting waste
(2.10) Waste batteries
(2.11) Tires
(2.12) Domestic waste
(2.13) Medical waste including blood soaked materials, needles and syringe
(2.14) Drums and barrels
(2.15) Hydro test fluids
(2.16) Radioactive waste
6.2 Waste Management and Disposal
All the wastes generated during all phases of all MD overseas projects, ranging from the most
inert to the most toxic shall be collected and managed in accordance with this procedure.
free oil;
Contaminated storm waters which run off from areas within the project shall be
directed through appropriate treatment facilities
Runoff water’s solid particle shall be allowed to subside before discharged.
Drinking water locations should be provided with hard standing area to prevent the
accumulation of water on ground & same should be connected to sewage sump to be
tankered away. As the ground is rocky & water does not percolate into earth, it accumulates
on surface leading to unhygienic conditions; hence water should not be allowed to collect on
surface of earth.
7.3 Noise Control
MD shall administer a continuing, effective hearing conservation program, as described in this
section, whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted
average sound level (TWA) of 85 dB(A) decibels measured. For purposes of the hearing
conservation program, employee noise exposures shall be computed in accordance with the
applicable standard formula, and without regard to any attenuation provided by the use of
personal protective equipment and other hearing protection program as required in Table 2.
(1) Hazards of Exposure to noise sequences are as:
(1.1) Causes annoyance and irritation
(1.2) Affects concentration and efficiency
(1.3) Causes fatigue and accident proneness
(1.4) Prevents ear from registering other sounds, instructions and warnings
(1.5) Short exposure to excess noise causes damage to the inner ear and permanent loss of
hearing
(2) Limiting Exposure to noise can be reduced by:
(2.1) Engineering and control methods (e.g. installation of silencer, sound controlled
equipment enclosure, replacing equipment with a low noise producing equipment if
possible)
(2.2) Job rotation
(2.3) Providing rest rooms or acoustic refuges
(2.4) Re-arranging work locations
(2.5) PPE (ear plug, ear muffs)
(3) Noise Values associated with Construction Equipment

The level of detail in a contract required to address construction noise mitigation is dependant
on the complexity of the project, the amount and type of work required, and the sensitivity of
the area beyond the project boundary. Therefore, not all projects require the same amount of
detail.
The effective control of construction noise can be achieved in much the same manner as the
control of operational traffic by considering the following techniques:
Alternative design options
Mitigation at the source
Mitigation along the path
Mitigation at the receiver
(5) Assessment involves combining environmental losses and gains with economic costs
and benefits to procedure a complete account to each project alternative. Cost-benefit
analysis should include environmental impacts where these can be evaluated in
monetary terms.
(6) Documentation is prepared to describe to the work done in the EIA. A working
document is prepared to provide clearly stated and argued recommendations for
immediate action. The working document should contain a list of project alternative with
comments on the environmental and economic impacts of each.
(7) Decision-making begins when the working document reaches the decision maker, who
will either accept one of the project alternatives, request further study or reject the
proposed action altogether.
(8) Post audits are made to determine how close to reality the EIA predictions were.
