Introduction
MVV Environment Devonport Limited (MVV) has been awarded the South West Devon Waste
Partnerships (SWDWP) residual waste treatment and disposal contract. The SWDWP is a
collaboration between Plymouth City Council, Torbay Council and Devon County Council
which is to provide a long term solution to manage waste from the southwest Devon area,
which is not re-used, recycled or composted.
MVV's proposal is to construct and operate an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility, incorporating
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology, on land currently situated in the north east of
Her Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) Devonport, Plymouth.
This Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is for the construction phase of
the development, and sets out the intended methods of effectively managing potential
environmental impacts arising from the construction of the EfW CHP facility.
The responsibility for implementation of the CEMP lies with the Principal Contractor MVV O&M
GmbH and it shall be implemented and controlled by the Site Manager who shall work in
conjunction with key personnel (Construction Director, contractors, suppliers, etc.) to ensure it
is implemented. In order to ensure that the plan remains relevant it will be the responsibility of
the Site Manager to take ownership of the CEMP and ensure its relevance to activities being
undertaken on site in light of any changes from the initial scope of the plan, this requires its
regular revision and updating as necessary. Any revisions or updates shall be subject to
agreement in writing with the LPA.
CEMP Overview
This CEMP identifies the project management structure roles and responsibilities with regard
to managing and reporting on the environmental impact of the construction phase.
An
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was undertaken during the planning process which
identified and assessed the aspects of construction that could have an environmental impact.
All proposed mitigation measures described in the EIA will be applied and are specifically
described in the applicable sections of the CEMP.
Page 3
The overall environmental objectives that will be applied to the project are:
All practicable steps shall be taken to minimise the environmental effects of

construction works.
All activities shall be conducted in accordance with the CEMP, relevant legislation,
Codes of Practices, Guidelines, and any local environmental procedures.
Environmental licenses, permits and consents and other statutory requirements are to
be obtained prior to works commencing, and fully complied with.
All staff (including sub-contractors) shall be aware of the environmental issues

relevant to the Project through the provision of site specific information on the
environmental impacts of construction and the mitigation measures to be applied
during inductions, briefings and tool box talks and other relevant .
Regularly reviewing of the environmental requirements of the project and ensuring

that environmental controls remain adequate throughout the duration of the project.

personnel throughout the duration of the works. An audit schedule shall be created which
includes both internal and external EMS and legal compliance audits. Any system failures
shall be documented and appropriate corrective actions issued and implemented.
An environmental impact assessment has been undertaken for the project during the planning
process.
All identified risks are addressed within this document.
However, should any
additional risks be identified, other than those outlined in this report, supplementary
management plans shall be put into place.
The construction of the facility is anticipated to take approximately 30 months and will involve
a phased construction programme involving a number of main construction activities. A set of
phasing diagrams are included in attachment 12 which illustrate the sequence of construction
and the areas of the site in which work will be carried out during the various main construction
phases .
Pre-Phase/Activity planning
During the initial planning of each phase of construction and prior to the commencement of the
relevant phase the activities likely to cause environmental impacts will be identified and the
most suitable mitigation measures selected from those identified generally in this CEMP for
the specific activities will be incorporated within the relevant phase activity method statement .
These mitigation activities will be communicated to and agreed with the LPA no later than 2
weeks prior to the start of the relevant phase of the construction.
The following subsections outline the processes and methods to be implemented on site to
ensure all environmental risks are identified and sufficient mitigation measures are put in place
to reduce environmental impacts associated with the works.
Page 7
4.1
Overall Project Management Actions

All environmental documentation shall be kept on site at all times and be available for
inspection by internal and external auditors and regulators, as well as the client and
management. Site personnel shall be made aware immediately if any significant changes in
work procedures are implemented.
Relevant documentation shall include the following:
Site Weekly Checklist
Impacts and Aspects Matrix
Environmental Risk Assessment
Construction Environmental Management Plan
Site Waste Management Plan
Pollution Prevention Plan including emergency response
Training and Responsibilities Matrix
Weekly environmental inspections shall take place on site by the construction supervisor. The
findings of these inspections and any associated actions shall be appropriately documented
on the Weekly Checklist.
Site management shall meet as necessary with the LPA to review activities on site and the
potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures relevant to those activities that will
be implemented.
MVV O&Ms site management shall regularly liaise with the Environment Agency and other
authorities and regulatory bodies with regards to all consents, exemptions and licences. Any
applications shall be made with consideration of appropriate timescales.
A consents schedule shall be completed and held on site files, detailing information from date
of application. Where specific limitations are set through any licence, consent or exemption,
this is to be clearly identified and regularly reviewed to ensure compliance.
The Site Emergency Response shall be found within the Pollution Prevention Plan. Contact
details shall be clearly displayed on site and information explained to all site personnel. The
Pollution Prevention Plan shall contain a clear detailed plan of the site which indicates the
location of sensitive receptors such as watercourses and drainage points. An appropriate
number of spill kits shall be located within these areas and will be clearly marked on the plan.
Page 8
It is the responsibility of the site management to ensure all spill kits are fully stocked at all
times, and an inventory of equipment within the spill kit is to be clearly displayed within.
The project is registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) under registration
number: 19164.
The CCS is a non-profit-making, independent organisation founded by the construction

industry to improve its image. The CCS is neither grant maintained, nor funded by the
government, and is solely financed by its registrations. The CCS Codes of Considerate
Practice commit those sites and companies registered with the Scheme to be considerate and
good neighbours, as well as respectful, environmentally conscious, responsible and
accountable. Registered sites and companies must also consider their appearance and safety.
This commitment is maintained by the CCS monitoring registered sites and by the display of
posters around the construction site, setting out the Code to which the sites or companies are
committed. If passers-by wish to comment, the name and telephone number of the site
manager or company contact are clearly displayed, alongside the freephone telephone
number of the CCSs administration office.
CCS Monitors who are drawn from the senior ranks of all disciplines within the construction
industry, with a fairly even division between architects, engineers, contractors and surveyors,
visit the site on a regular basis. The Monitor acts as an 'informed member of the public' and is
looking at how the site represents the company and the industry. During the visit, the Monitor
will assess the perimeter of the site, the access to the site offices and the facilities provided for
the operatives. The Monitor will also review whether the site's procedures are in accordance
with the Scheme's Site Code of Considerate Practice.
The Monitor will write a report for the Site Manager and this will include the score achieved
against each of the eight categories of the Scheme's Site Code of Considerate Practice. The
purpose of this score is to indicate how well the site is performing against the Code.
The site shall comply with the CCS Site Code of Considerate Practice and target to maintain a
score of no less than 33 on each site monitor's visit. The site shall clearly display the
associated posters and banners allowing local residents to see clearly all contact numbers.
MVV shall ensure all works carried out are undertaken in a manner which not only ensures
best practice, but ensures minimal disruption and cause for complaint by the public.
Page 9
Training and management procedures
To ensure that mitigation methods and measures are applied, appropriate training and
management procedures will be implemented in accordance with Building Research
Establishments (BRE): The Pollution control Guide: Part 1 Pre-project planning and
effective management.
The BRE guidance makes the following recommendations: Before the start of any project,
appropriate training on how to control pollution emissions should be given to all personnel
expected to be present on site. This training should include;
The benefits of reducing pollution to health and environment,
The benefits of minimising disruption from complaints and enforcement actions,
Methods to minimise the generation of pollution,
Actions plans on what should be done if emissions breach any limits that have
been set for the particular site,
Individual responsibilities and management procedures,
The importance of effective communication between relevant personnel at all

levels.
All site personnel, site operatives and sub-contractors will be made aware of the risks and
mitigation methodology for any potential environmental impacts relevant to their specific
activities through the Site Induction and regular briefings and toolbox talks.
Consultation with the public
In conjunction with appropriate mitigation, operating hours and employee training, handling
public relations in an appropriate way will help to reduce the potential for air quality
complaints. BRE: The Pollution control Guide: Part 1 Pre-project planning and effective
management makes recommendations regarding the handling of public relations. These
recommendations will be implemented at the site;
Notice boards on the site perimeter fencing will display telephone and email contacts for
enquiries and receipt of complaints, and the name of the persons who should be contacted
Page 10
4.2
Dust
The site is located within the Weston Mill area of HM Naval Base Devonport. The Naval base
borders the majority of the site with the exception of the northern boundary. The boundary to
the site has a range of residential properties which are noted as sensitive receptors. The
potential receptors were identified in the EIA and these are shown in Attachment 10.
Other ecologically sensitive receptors are noted as being;
Tamar Estuary
Blackies Wood
Weston Mill Stream
Weston Mill Lake
Barne Brake
Camels Heal Creek
Groundwater
It is also recognised that in periods of high winds the receptors affected by wind blown dust
could be areas further away than those mentioned above if suitable dust mitigation measures
are not implemented.
The generation of dust outside of the site boundary is a potential source of statutory nuisance
and can lead to complaints being received. As well as receiving complaints dust can also have
an impact on human health and local ecology. The Environmental statement outlined the
residential properties within 100m of the main construction area who may experience
occasional increase in local soiling during activities being carried out in extremely dry and
windy weather. These are deemed to be short-term episodes with a likely result in increased
soiling of property surfaces, and are not normally associated with the general risk to health.
Whilst this statement outlines the potential impact from dust on residents the mitigation
outlined in this section will focus on removing the potential from nuisance dust emissions.
It should also be noted that the naval base and its operations are also a consideration during
the project phases.
Potential dust sources during the construction phases of the development works:
Site clearance
Ground excavation, piling and earthworks
Page 11
On site earth moving operations, site levelling, cut and fill etc.
Vehicle movements over haul roads (especially unpaved)
Vehicle movements on site during dry periods
Re-suspension of particulates from construction vehicle movements on site,
Wind blowing across the site during dry periods
Stockpiling of excavated materials
Cutting, grinding and drilling operations
Accidental spillage and loss of load from vehicles carrying loose material
Deep excavations
Tipping
Earthworks
The generation of dust nuisance requires consideration of additional factors such as:
Prevailing wind (speed, direction)
Prevailing climate, including rainfall
Location of sensitive receptors (including residential and commercial properties,

habitats and watercourses)
Potential impacts
Background information
The Environmental Protection Act lists the emission of dust from industrial, trade or business
premises in sufficient quantity to be prejudicial to health or a nuisance as a statutory nuisance.
Dust which is raised by site operations may be carried to nearby residential areas and if
present in sufficient quantities has the potential to cause a nuisance by settling on clean
surfaces.
There are no UK statutory or recommended levels of dust deposition that constitute a statutory
nuisance; whether or not a nuisance exists is determined in the first instance by the
professional judgement of the environmental health officer.
Dust contains particles in the range of sizes. The finer fraction of dust particle range is more
likely to become airborne and to travel beyond the boundary of a site.
The fine particles which comprise dust can become suspended and entrained in air and, as
such they can disperse from a source. They will progressively fall out of the air stream; in fact
Page 12
most dust settles out close to the source. Fugitive dust is that which escapes from the
immediate vicinity of the source and may affect the area surrounding the site.
Particulate dust emissions from construction works associated with the development have the
potential to impact upon local residents, and on-site workers during the works. Dust which is
raised by onsite operations may be carried to nearby residential areas, if present in sufficient
quantities. Concerns have been raised by the inhalation of dust particles and the possible
health effects this may have. This has the potential to impact upon local residents and on-site
workers.
Where mud from a development site is allowed to spread onto local roads, it can form a
secondary source of dust. The mechanical action of wheels on the road surface material will
reduce the particle sizes by crushing and the potential for emission of dust from these roads
can be quite high. As vehicle pass along the road, dust is re-suspended into the turbulent air
stream both beneath and behind the vehicle and this can become entrained into a moving air
flow. The erosive action of road traffic depends on the number and size of wheels, the vehicle
speeds and the moisture content of the surface material.
Good environmental practices will as described below will be used to control these dust
emissions, and mitigate against any nuisance problems arising.
Monitoring programme
On-going monitoring shall be undertaken by the construction supervisors on a regular basis,

both on and off site for visible signs of dust emissions and deposition originating from the site
to ensure the adequacy of the mitigation measures being employed. On site daily monitoring
of dust emissions will be undertaken for each construction activity which is deemed to pose a
risk, with records maintained.
The monitoring programme will record:
Date
Activity/Location
Weather Conditions
Wind Direction and Speed
Dust suppression method(s) implemented
Excessively windy conditions can increase the propagation of dust. The local weather forecast
will be taken into account as part of the monitoring procedure. These conditions will be noted
Page 13
and the activities which have an increased risk of causing dust nuisance (e.g excavations and
earthworks) during windy conditions will be restricted or the mitigation level increased.
Construction supervisors will assess if the weather conditions are appropriate for the types of
activities being undertaken.
Any complaints in relation to fugitive dust will be logged and appropriate action taken by site
management in accordance with the Complaints Protocol (Planning Condition 56) to ensure
any further potential for complaint is minimised. Logs of any complaints will be made available
to the LPA.
Mitigation Techniques
Mitigation measures will be implemented to ensure effective control of dust emissions from the
construction works. These are industry best practices. The best practices are proven, well
established, techniques to mitigate nuisance dust emissions.
The mitigation measures proposed in this plan are based on guidance provided by the
following documents;
The BRE Guidance Document, controlling particles, vapour and noise pollution
from construction sites.
London Best Practice Guidance, The control of dust and emissions from
construction and demolition.
General mitigation techniques for the various construction activities will include:
Activity
Mitigation measures

All construction traffic shall follow specifically designated routes
Traffic
Speed limits shall be put into place on site for all vehicular movements
All vehicles carrying loose material shall be covered
Wheel wash facility shall be used for vehicles leaving site

periods
Where necessary, use of enclosures to be considered to ensure reduction in dust
migration
Deliveries of significantly dusty materials to be sprayed to reduce dust potential
All cutting and grinding operations to be conducted in ways to reduce risk of dust
migration (wet cutting techniques etc.)
There will be a complete prohibition on the burning of any materials on the site during
construction.
Mitigation equipment will be readily available on site from the commencement of the works.
These will include sheeting, and damping equipment; such as, tractor bowsers, road sweepers
etc.
Where processes are intrinsically dusty and alternative processes exist which are less dusty,
these will be implemented. Prefabricated components and construction will be used wherever
possible to minimise the need for on-site construction which may cause the emission of dust.
Suitable control procedures for minimising dust during the various construction phases
The scale of the preliminary works, (Stage 1), is minor in comparison to the main construction
works (Stage 2). Stage 1 provides the enabling packages to ensure the Main Construction
works can be undertaken without logistical restrictions.
Stage 1 comprises;
Wolseley Road junction improvements

The junction improvements involve minor road-works including traffic island
modifications, new traffic signals and resurfacing.
Access road from Camels Head RN4 car-park to the main construction site
Security Fencing
Bull Point access road
Erection of Acoustic Barriers
Setting up of the main site establishment
Further site investigation works on the main construction site (including relocation
of exiting stockpiles and earthworks to facilitate the works) and access road bridge
areas.
Page 15
These elements will incorporate small scale earthworks. The fence will be erected manually
without the need for craneage.
All sensitive receptors are a consideration during these works. However as a result of the
scale of the operations required the nuisance potential is reduced with smaller scale plant,
smaller work areas and a reduced frequency/duration of relevant activities.
Earthworks and piling (Main construction months 1 to 8)
Excavations, piling, loading and unloading of materials on-site and stockpiling of materials
have the potential to be a major contributor to dust emissions. During excavation, previously
stable surfaces are disrupted and exposed to the wind. As these materials are generally dry
they can easily become suspended by the wind or mechanical disturbance and readily
become airborne in significant quantities.
Surfaces will be disturbed as little as possible and where necessary stabilised as soon as
possible after disturbance by damping down with water sprays to minimise dust emission and
re-suspension.
Where the construction logistics on site allows stockpiles will be located away from areas of
the site close to the sensitive receptors. All stockpiles will be treated with water sprays to
prevent dusting or covered correctly with secured tarpaulins where necessary.
Reinforced concrete structures (Main construction months 2 to 13)
The fabrication and construction process will involve the construction of reinforced concrete
(RC) foundations and structures . There is potential for the emission of dust in both open and
enclosed areas during the RC construction stage and mitigation methods are necessary to
reduce these.
Off site fabrication and construction will be used wherever possible. If this is not possible, the
fabrication processes will be undertaken away from sensitive receptor areas.
Dust suppression methods will be implemented by using fixed enclosures or equipment with
water sprays, local exhaust ventilation or particle extraction/minimisation systems.
Mixing of concrete will occur off site and be directly delivered to the required area of the
construction site. On site batching will not be used. Any small scale mixing requirements will
be undertaken in shielded areas away from sensitive receptors.
Page 16
Dry sweeping will be avoided and damp sweeping using a fine mist will be used. Washing and
damping down will be implemented as required.
Materials handling (throughout the construction period)
A wide range of materials will be handled during the construction phases of the development
and the handling of these materials has the potential to create dust emissions. Generally the
use of dry or powdery material on site will be minimised. The following precautions will be
implemented to minimise dust emissions arising from materials handling;
Material drop heights will be minimised,
Damping down will be used to reduce dust emissions. in dry, hot weather damping
down frequency will be increased,
Steep sided stockpiles or mounds or those with sharp changes in shape will be
avoided, Heights of stockpiles will be restricted to mitigate airborne dust potential.
Wherever possible stockpiled materials will be kept away from the site boundary
and sensitive receptor locations and damped down, enclosed or securely sheeted
as appropriate.
Wind barriers will be used to protect stock piled loose material and skips will be
enclosed or covered, Lorries will be covered and closed tankers will be used for
transporting dry and fine powdery materials,
Materials delivered to site will be left wrapped until needed,
Methods and equipment will be in place in case of spillages. The site will be
regularly inspected for spillages and wet handling methods for cleaning up spillages
such as cement powder will be used.
Site, Access and Public roads (throughout the construction period)
During development it will be necessary to construct access and site roads to accommodate
vehicle and plant movements on the site and for delivery of required materials.
Page 17
Unpaved site roads can greatly contribute to dust emissions, especially in dry or windy
conditions therefore compacted hard surfaces will be used wherever possible, even if the
routes are only temporary. Traffic on site roads located close to sensitive receptor locations
will be kept to a minimum where construction requirements allow.
Vehicle movements and behaviour on site will be controlled by appropriate signage and
compliance will be monitored by construction site supervisors. Vehicles will be restricted to a
minimum commensurate with the construction requirements and speeds will be limited to 5
mph on un-surfaced roads and 10 mph on properly surfaced and maintained roads. This will
contribute to the reduction in the re-suspension of dust as a result of the movement of
vehicles.
Site roads will be inspected regularly and kept in a compacted condition using static sprinklers,
bowsers, low emission additives and binders if necessary. The access road to the main
construction site will be cleaned daily during the working week and more frequently if
necessary using a mechanical road sweeper. Edges of the access road and footpaths will be
cleaned with a hand broom and controlled damping.
Damping down techniques used to minimise the re-suspension of dust into the air can also
cause the build up of mud and dirt on roads which is picked up by vehicle wheels. Therefore
wheel washing techniques and rumble grids will be implemented, before vehicles enter public
highways, to prevent the transportation of mud and dirt off site.
During the preliminary works simultaneous activities will be taking place in a number of
locations both inside and outside the naval base and therefore multiple wheel wash facilities
will be established in this period. Due to the short term nature of these works these facilities
will take the form of a manually operated high pressure jet wash located in the positions
indicated on the drawing included in attachment 7. Vehicles leaving the construction areas will
be inspected at the wheelwash points and thoroughly cleaned as required.
During the main construction works a permanent wheel wash facility with bunded enclosure
will be installed on the access road at the exit point of the main site in the position indicated on
the drawing included in attachment 8. The wheel wash will be the same as or of a similar
standard to that shown in attachment 9.
Asbestos
The main risk from asbestos in soils is the potential to liberate fibres into the air, as a result of
attrition of cement products and or disturbance of the soil, and which may subsequently be
inhaled. Post development, in those areas of the site covered by hardstanding, the risk to
Page 18
human health will be negligible since the hardstanding will present a barrier to the liberation of
airborne particulates including asbestos fibres. However, there may be a potential increased
risk during construction related activities such as piling where significant ground disturbance
may take place.
Although the available information does not suggest the widespread presence of asbestos
containing material within the fill deposits at the site, occasional asbestos containing material
has been identified which if disturbed may have the potential to liberate asbestos fibres into
the air and will therefore need to be appropriately managed. The following protocol for
managing asbestos containing material (ACM) that may be encountered at the Site during will
be adopted:
All pile arisings comprising of fill materials should be subject to routine damping
down as piling progresses.
A person competent in identifying all types of ACM should be present on Site at all
times to inspect pile arisings.
Any arisings where ACMs are identified should be separated, damped down further
and covered by plastic sheeting or similar.
The management of arisings in this way should be maintained until the material can
be removed from site for appropriate disposal.
If ACMs are encountered, air monitoring should be undertaken in the immediate

vicinity of and downwind of the works. The air monitoring should be maintained
during ongoing works whilst a source of ACMs is present on site in order to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the control measures, such as damping down and
covering, being employed.
It will be necessary for an appropriate asbestos air monitoring contractor to be retained who
can attend the site to undertake air monitoring, as detailed above at short notice should ACMs
be identified.
Site specific procedures will put in place to identify testing regimes and what to do in the event
of asbestos being found. This will vary on the type of asbestos found and its condition as to
the level of decontamination, segregation, remediation etc. Specialist advice will be obtained
to complete such a procedure
If asbestos is identified during excavation works then activities will stop in the area, and the
area quarantined whilst a specialist is employed to clear the contamination.
Page 19
The most effective control of the harmful particles is by means of dust control. If asbestos is in
the ground then it is usually wet or bound up with mud / soil / organic material etc. therefore,
the risk is reduced. The best practice control measures already outlined will ensure this risk is
minimised.
Selected site personnel will be trained in asbestos awareness and will be able to identify the
material if encountered. If this event is realised the element of work affected will be suspended
and the area segregated prior to the necessary remediation strategy being implemented.
Mitigating exposure of on-site workers
Whilst it is important to minimise the impacts of the works on local residents and other
sensitive receptors, it is also necessary to consider the effects of exposure to dust on site
workers during the various construction phases.
Training will be provided for all on-site workers regarding suppression of pollution emissions
and minimising exposure to potentially harmful emissions. Appropriate PPE will be worn as
determined by the risk assessment for the relevant activity.
Workers will at all times reduce their exposure to emissions. Excessive time will not be spent
by one person on one activity which is inherently dusty.
Wherever equipment is being used within enclosed spaces, ventilation or particle extraction
systems will be used at all times.
4.3 Noise
Background information
Like dust, the generation of noise beyond of the site boundary is a potential source of statutory
nuisance and can lead to complaints. Such complaints, if upheld, can lead to legal action
which causes resultant delays and costs to the project. The site is directly adjacent to various
residential areas making construction noise a particularly sensitive issue to local residents
A basic element in the mitigation of nuisance due to noise is adherence to acceptable working
hours. All works shall be undertaken in compliance with the working hours specified in
Plymouth City Council's "Code of Practice: Control of Pollution & Noise from Demolition &
Construction Sites" ie:
Page 20
Monday to Friday 8am - 6pm
Saturday 8.30am - 1pm
No Sunday, Bank holiday or Public holiday working
Should work be required outside of these hours prior permission must be sought from the local
authority including details of any noise that may result from the activities.
Construction site noise has the potential to impact upon the current amenity of local residents.
The EIA has identified the following properties as sensitive receptors to noise and vibration:
C1: 25 36 Talbot Gardens
C2: 1-12 Talbot Gardens
C3: 13-18 Savage Road
C4: 471 Wolseley Road
C5: 21 Hamoaze Avenue
The locations of these receptors in relation to the site are shown in attachment 11.
Good relations with people living and working in the vicinity of site operations are of
paramount importance. Early establishment and maintenance of these relations throughout
the carrying out of site operations will contribute towards allaying peoples fears. Good
relations can be developed by keeping people informed of progress and by treating complaints
fairly and expeditiously.
Noise can also interfere with working efficiency of site workers by inducing stress, by
disturbing concentration and by increasing accident risk. Effects of noise on persons on site
are similar to the effects on nearby residents, and the benefits of good control measures will
apply equally on and off site.
Noise Monitoring Programme
Noise levels will be monitored at the sensitive locations nearest to site during the main
construction works in accordance with a Noise Monitoring Plan to be agreed with the LPA in
accordance with the requirements of the S106 Agreement. The noise monitoring programme
will be undertaken by suitably qualified specialist consultants. All noise level monitoring
equipment used will be well maintained and calibrated in accordance with manufacturers
guidance. Logs of all noise monitoring will be kept within the site files and will be made readily
available for inspection. The following will be noted at each identified sensitive receptor when
noise monitoring is being undertaken.

Weather conditions and wind direction
Location of monitoring
Background noise level
LAeq dB reading over the relevant time period
All results will be monitored against the predicted noise levels detailed within the Acoustic
Technical Note dated 28-7-11 in compliance with planning condition 19. Where noise levels
from any activities are outside of the predicted levels the LPA will be informed immediately
and alternative or additional mitigation methodology will be investigated and implemented.
Where any noise complaints are received, these will be thoroughly investigated by the site
management in accordance with the Complaints Protocol (Planning Condition 56) and actions
implemented to ensure repetition of the issues are avoided.
Site Investigation and Assessment
Planning condition 19 requires compliance with the construction noise levels predicted in the
Acoustic Technical Note dated 28-7-11 which provides a technical assessment of the
predicted noise levels from the various construction phases in comparison with the 10 hour
period acceptable noise levels given in the PCC Code of Construction Practice. The mitigation
detailed in this document is intended to reduce the construction noise to the predicted levels in
the assessment.
Noise Control Measures
A number of control measures will be implemented at the site to minimise noise. These
measures are developed from current best practice and the BRE Pollution control Guide: Part
1 Pre-project planning and effective management. In particular the following control
measures will be applied;
Acoustic barriers for static activities will be used where necessary and practicable.
The extent to which this can be done depends on the nature and mode of operation
of the machines to be enclosed and the ventilation requirements, in particular and
where practicable, acoustic barriers shall be provided when working in the vicinity
of properties on Talbot Gardens,. This will provide additional mitigation for the
short-term significant construction noise effects at these properties.
Page 22
A permanent acoustic barrier is to be installed along the new access road providing
mitigation for residents off Wolseley Road Hamoaze and Harbour Avenue.
All construction plant and equipment shall comply with EU noise emission limits.
All vehicles and mechanical plant used for the purpose of the works shall be fitted
with effective exhaust silencers.
Selection of inherently quiet plant.
All major compressors, generators etc. shall be sound reduced models fitted with
properly lined and sealed acoustic covers which shall be kept closed whenever the
machines are in use and all ancillary pneumatic percussive tools shall be fitted with
silencers of the type recommended by the manufacturers.
Machines in intermittent use shall be shut down in the intervening periods between
works or throttled down to a minimum.
Materials shall be delivered during normal site working hours.
All ancillary plant such as generators, compressors and pumps shall be positioned
so as to cause minimum noise disturbance, i.e. furthest from receptors or if
necessary, behind acoustic enclosures and /or shielding. Where possible, loading
and unloading will also be carried out away from such areas,
Constant monitoring and review of operations
Monitoring of feedback from local residents during site activities
Site training and awareness for all site personnel with regard to behaviour on site to
minimise nuisance and engender a considerate approach.
Modification of existing plant and equipment. Noise from existing plant and
equipment can often be modified at source if necessary or improved sound
reduction methods can be applied,
Maintenance: Regular and effective maintenance by trained personnel is essential

and will do much to reduce noise from machinery. Increases in plant noise are often
indicative of future mechanical failure. Regular maintenance will form part of an
effective housekeeping management programme.
The hours of operation of all plant and vehicles will be limited to the normal site
working hours and any use of equipment outside of these hours will be avoided,
The drop heights will be minimised as much as possible,
No plant or machinery will be left running unnecessarily.
Plant and equipment such as flatbed lorries, skips and chutes will be lined where
possible with noise attenuating materials,
Materials will be handled as carefully as possible when loading lorries and skips to
minimise noise,
Queuing of vehicles wanting to enter the site will be minimised and a policy relating
to this will be clearly set out in the site rules,
Page 23
Whilst reversing alarms do present audible impact their necessity is a reflection of the high risk
associated with reversing vehicles. They must be distinct to ensure they are audible above
background noise. Despite their need, mitigation can be introduced to prevent nuisance to
residents. The site layout will introduce and maintain one-way vehicle movements with
unloading areas and lay-bys to prevent the need for vehicles to reverse. Any reversing areas
needed or introduced will be located away from sensitive receptors. Pre-established reversing
areas will also allow additional acoustic barriers to be introduced to provide further mitigation.
All practicable additional measures will be taken to minimise nuisance from reversing alarms
Project Specific Elements
The scale of the preliminary works, (Stage 1), is minor in comparison to the main construction
works (Stage 2). Stage 1 provides the enabling packages to ensure the Main Construction
works can be undertaken without logistical restrictions.
Stage 1 comprises;
Wolseley Road junction improvements

The junction improvements involve minor road-works including traffic island
modifications, new traffic signals and resurfacing.
Access road from Camels Head RN4 car-park to the main construction site
Security Fencing
Bull Point access road
Erection of Acoustic Barriers
Setting up of the main site establishment
Further site investigation works on the main construction site (including relocation
of exiting stockpiles and earthworks to facilitate the works) and access road bridge
areas.
These elements will incorporate small scale earthworks. The fence will be erected manually
without the need for craneage.
All sensitive receptors are a consideration during these works. However as a result of the
scale of the operations required the nuisance potential is reduced with smaller scale plant,
smaller work areas and a reduced frequency/duration of relevant activities.
The project will incorporate the following major elements of construction during the Main
Construction Works;
Page 24
Earthworks and Excavations (Main construction months 1&2)
Fully detailed planning will use suitable methodology to ensure noise impacts are minimised
using the appropriate mitigation methods selected from those outlined above.
Rotary Bored Piling (Main construction months 2 to 8)
Piling activities have the potential to create the most significant noise impact. Three piling rigs
will be in use simultaneously but in different areas of the site and this was taken into account
in the noise predictions made in the Acoustic Technical Note dated 28-7-11. Tthe trial piling
operations provided further practical assessment of the potential noise levels that may be
encountered. Whilst the resultant noise levels recorded were generally below those predicted
in the test piling planning application further lessons were also learned. The element of the
piling activity resulting in the highest level of noise was the cleaning of the drill string when
drilling debris was shaken from the drill string. Significant improvements will be made with a
mechanical application to clear the drill string upon extraction without the need for the vigorous
shaking witnessed during the trial piling works thereby reducing this element of noise
generation.
Consideration was given to restricting the daily hours for piling operations however since there
is a fixed number of piles that have to be installed this simply results in a corresponding
extension to the total duration of the piling and construction period overall and has
consequently been discounted.
Reinforced Concrete Construction (Main construction months 2 to 13)
Fully detailed planning will use suitable methodology to ensure noise impacts are minimised
using the appropriate mitigation methods selected from those outlined above.
Steelwork and Cladding Erection (Main construction months 14 to 21)
Fully detailed planning will consider suitable methodology to ensure noise impacts minimised
using the appropriate range of mitigation methods from those outlined above.
Reinforced Concrete Construction and Steelwork and Cladding Erection activities will be
planned so that wherever possible walls and structures closest to the sensitive receptors will
be constructed first so as to provide acoustic barriers for the subsequent construction
activities.
Page 25
Construction traffic (throughout the construction period) - Sensitive residential receptors have
been identified as the properties on Wolseley Road, Weston Mill Drive and the Weston Mill
Community Primary School. The noise
levels in these locations are anticipated to be
increased by less than 1dB(A) and the risk is assessed as negligible. The acoustic barriers
that will be erected along the new access road will provide mitigation to receptors in the
Hamoaze Avenue area for construction traffic accessing the site.
Page 26
4.4
Vibration
Initial assessments undertaken during the environmental impact assessment indicated that the
works should not pose any significant risks in relation to vibration. However, if it becomes
apparent that vibration may give rise to an environmental impact a full investigation shall be
undertaken by the site manager using where necessary external specialist consultants to carry
out monitoring at the receptor locations.
Best practice techniques shall be utilised at all times to minimise vibration from construction
activities. Speeds will be limited to 5 mph on un-surfaced site roads and 10 mph on properly
surfaced and maintained site roads.
Any complaints relating to vibration disturbance will be fully investigated by the site
management team in line with the Complaints Protocol (Planning Condition 56).
4.5
Light Disturbance
It will be necessary particularly during darker months to light the construction site and office
complex and there is the potential for poorly aimed or controlled lighting to intrude or irritate
local residents.
Possible sources of nuisance are
Light trespass light spilling beyond the boundary of the property on which a light
is located, sometimes shining through windows and curtains.
Glare the uncomfortable brightness of a light source when viewed against a

darker background
The major mitigating factor is the project working hours. (0800-1800, Monday to Friday), this
will prevent the more severe element of intrusion, ie sleep deprivation, being realised.
Due to the location of properties nearby to the site, consideration shall be given to the location
and angle of site lighting to ensure minimum potential for disturbance to local residents. The
sensitive receptors are those nearest to the site namely;
C1: 25 36 Talbot Gardens
Page 27
The following mitigation and best practice will be implemented
Lights will where practicable, be positioned facing away from residential properties,
however adequate lighting of working areas is an essential safety consideration
and where this is not possible lighting units will be placed in such a way as to pose
minimal risk of light disturbance. Unless health and safety requirements dictate
otherwise, no lighting shall face towards any property identified as a sensitive
receptor.
Lighting will be directed towards the site activity so as to avoid the possibility of any
lights shining directly onto nearby residential properties
Lighting will be suitable for the application
Unnecessary lighting will be removed
Lights will be switched off when they are not needed; this will include periods
outside of normal site working hours.
Any security lighting will be kept to a minimum at all times and powered by mains
supply.
Checks will be made each evening to ensure no lights are left on in error
Any complaints relating to light disturbance will be fully investigated by the site management
team in line with the Complaints Protocol (Planning Condition 56).
4.6
Heritage and Archaeology

Initial assessments in the environmental impact assessment do not anticipate that there are
any archaeologically sensitive areas within the site boundaries. However, the following
procedures shall be followed in the event of such a find or discovery:
Immediately stop works in the area of the find
Protect the find and the area surrounding by fencing/blocking off and immediately
contact the Site Manager
Contact an archaeologist and obtain advice on how to proceed
All significant finds must be reported to the County Archaeologist
The County Archaeologist in charge will be contacted by the site management. The contact
telephone number is: 01752 305433/304397.
Page 28
4.7
Waste Management
The site will implement a Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) which describes the
procedures for management of waste arising from the construction activities. The SWMP shall
comply with the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008.
The project shall utilise the BRE SMARTWaste online tool as its method of meeting the Site
Waste Management Plans Regulations and recording the movements of wastes from the site.
4.8
Water
A stream known as Weston Mill Creek and a small tributary known as Barne Brake are located
in close proximity to the site boundaries which discharge into Weston Mill Lake with the tidal
range extending upstream beyond the site and it is essential that no contaminants enter this
water course.
Betterment of the aquatic ecological environment shall be achieved by removal of a disused

culvert with footway over the Barne Brake. The creek bed shall be returned to its natural state
and an extensive clean-up of the rest of the creek between Wolseley Road and the site shall
be completed.
Following this a schedule of marine litter monitoring and removal shall be implemented in
accordance with the scheme agreed with the LPA in accordance with the planning conditions.
Mitigation
The following mitigation measures shall be employed:
All necessary consents shall be applied for prior to commencement of works e.g. Land
Drainage Consent shall be requested from the Environment Agency under the Land
Drainage Act of 1991.
The design of the new development has been significantly influenced by the need to
ensure protection of the water environment, for example, the span of the new bridge
shall keep the new abutments clear of the water.
The existing sheet pile abutments shall be extended, as well as new abutments
constructed so that any loose material cannot enter the watercourse.
The excavations shall be dewatered as necessary and all pumped water shall be
discharged through a series of Siltbuster settlement tanks before it is allowed to enter
the stream.
Page 29
Spill kits shall be made available, and site operatives trained in their use, to deal with
any spillages of materials likely to contaminate the watercourses. All spill kits shall be
fully stocked at all times and an inventory of equipment within the container shall be
clearly displayed on the lid.
Due care and attention shall be given to the prevention of surface run-off.
For
example, stockpiling of materials within the vicinity of the watercourses shall be

discouraged. Where stockpiles have to be located in the vicinity of a watercourse a 7
m buffer strip shall be in place to reduce pollution risks.
A temporary swale shall be installed along the eastern side of the site, into which
runoff can be directed to reduce silt and suspended solids before discharge into the
watercourse.
The positioning of fuel storage tanks and other potentially polluting materials and
maintenance/refuelling facilities shall be on areas of hard standing with dedicated
drainage systems. Stored materials on site shall be checked regularly for containment
integrity (both primary and secondary), quantity stored and security of storage.
Monitoring
Monitoring shall be as follows:
Short term surveillance monitoring shall be undertaken in advance of construction in

order to establish a baseline. The short term surveillance monitoring shall include
specific water quality monitoring for shallow groundwater and surface water and
assessment of existing Water Framework Directive data regarding the ecological
status of the watercourse.
Further surveillance monitoring shall then be undertaken during construction. Regular

weekly monitoring and water sampling shall be undertaken at specific points, these
inspections shall include as a minimum visual reference, turbidity and pH levels.
In addition to this, during the more environmentally risky operations such as piling or
concrete placement, the stream shall be continually visually monitored for turbidity and
any impending risk of contamination. Plant maintenance checks shall also be
increased in frequency during these operations.
In periods of heavy rainfall or excessive vehicle movements within the vicinity,

monitoring shall be increased to reduce risks of pollution incidents.
Construction of concrete structures during the construction phase shall be monitored

to prevent associated contaminated material entering any watercourses. Pre-cast
work or permanent formwork shall be used where possible to reduce the amount of insitu concreting required adjacent to and above the watercourses. Washing out of
concrete wagons or other equipment used in concreting operations shall only be
Page 30
undertaken in designated contained washout areas. These shall be located away from
all watercourses and drains and shall be impermeable to prevent infiltration to ground.
Piling activities required for the waste bunker and building foundations may extend
down to the Secondary (B) Aquifer (Saltash Formation). A Foundation Works Risk
Assessment shall be prepared by the Contractor to confirm that the risk of
contamination of the Secondary Aquifer through the mobilisation of contaminants
within the made ground is low with the proposed use of rotary bored piles. The risk
assessment shall be agreed with the Environment Agency.
Where over pumping is required, the water shall be put through an appropriate sized
settlement tank, the flow rate set up shall allow appropriate timescales for settlement.
If the discharge is still showing as heavily silted, then a Silt buster settlement tank (or
series of) shall be used with flocculants if appropriate.
Permission for any dewatering activities shall be sought from the Environment Agency
under the terms of the Water Act 2003, well in advance of the dewatering activity
commencing.
All records of water monitoring inspections shall be kept on site throughout the
duration of the project and be readily available for inspection by the relevant
authorities.
4.9 Transportation and Traffic Management

A Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) shall be implemented on the site. The plan
shall outline timings of deliveries and routes to be taken by construction vehicles to ensure
minimal disruption to local residents and businesses. This shall include potential risk for noise
disturbance as well as minimising additional traffic during peak periods. The CTMP is provided
as a separate document.
4.10 Ecological Management

The existing ecological features could potentially be affected by the proposed construction
works. However, the initial environmental impact assessment concluded that if appropriate
mitigation and enhancement activities were to be undertaken then the impacts would not be
considered significant.
General Ecological Mitigation
The following mitigation measures will be employed. Refer also attachments No 1 and 2 Wildlife and Construction Best Practice Guidance. These posters will be prominently displayed
on the site on notice boards on the site and in site cabins and offices.
Page 31
Dust minimisation methods shall be employed
Construction lighting shall be directed away from retained areas of habitat wherever
possible.
Security lighting and non-essential lighting shall be fitted with automatic cut-off
switches where practicable.
Pollution prevention controls shall be utilised to reduce the risk of sediment pollution
resettling further downstream and potentially smothering benthic habitats (see section
4.8).
All tree and vegetation clearance works within the area defined on the Vegetation
Clearance Plan dated 1st May 2012 and Drawing No 47031683 300 Rev C shall be
carried out under the supervision of an experienced ecologist to prevent disturbance
to nesting birds and other protected species. Where vegetation clearance is being
carried out in teams, each team will be accompanied by an experienced ecologist.
The ecologist will check and observe each 20m sector of vegetation for approximately
20 minutes prior to clearance works commencing. If an active bird nest is detected at
any point, works in that sector will immediately cease and an area of 5m radius around
the nest will be cordoned off and clearly marked using hi-visibility tape and appropriate
signage to prevent disturbance to nesting birds. Any noisy machinery such as chippers
will be moved at least 10m away from the location of the nest. Works within the
cordoned off area where active bird nests have been detected will only proceed once
an experienced ecologist has confirmed the nests are no longer active.
As an additional measure, throughout the duration of the proposed tree and vegetation
clearance works, a falconer will be employed Monday to Friday for at least two hours a
day to act as a deterrent to birds wishing to nest on site. The falconer will walk a
continuous transect covering the periphery of the areas to be cleared as shown on the
Vegetation Clearance Plan dated 1st May 2012 and Drawing No 47031683 300 Rev
C any other areas where it is necessary to deter nesting birds..
Where any unexpected species are identified by any personnel on site, all works
within that area shall cease immediately. Site management shall be immediately
informed and they shall contact the project ecologist. No further work may take place
within that area until permission has been given by the project ecologist and site
management.
The contact details for the Project Ecologist are Paul Gregory or Melanie Pritchard;
URS Infrastructure & Environment UK Limited, Mayflower House, Armada Way,
Plymouth, PL1 1LD, United Kingdom telephone 01752 676700
Page 32
Bats
The site is considered to be of negligible conservation value for roosting bats and low
(parish/neighbourhood) value for foraging/feeding and/or commuting habitat for bats.
Reptiles
Reptiles are protected creatures making it an offence to intentionally and recklessly kill, injure
or take from existing habitats. A reptile survey has been undertaken and a translocation
habitat area identified and a reptile barrier has been installed separating the translocation area
from the site works. The reptile barrier will be maintained throughout the duration of the
project. A series of trapping visits was commenced in 2011 and 48 of the 60 required visits
have been carried out prior to the temperature dropping and the reptiles going into hibernation.
As reptiles were still being trapped up to hibernation, the site cannot be declared clear until the
remaining visits have been concluded.
It is planned to re-commence the trapping visits in April 2012 providing the ground temperature
is conducive for reptiles to come out of hibernation. It is anticipated that the remaining 12 visits
will take approximately 2 weeks
Under current guidance / legislation / best practice a period of 5 clear visits must be achieved
in order to demonstrate that all practicable efforts have been made to trap a significant number
of reptiles, if they are present on site. However in order that construction works can continue in
the event that the conditions have not been suitable to carry out the remaining visits, the
project ecologist has confirmed the following:
The largely flat, well compacted, barren areas of the site would not be conducive for
reptile habitat; therefore, works can be carried out on these areas.
The stockpiles of crushed aggregate located on the Eastern side of the site are not
suitable for reptile habitat; therefore, this material can be excavated and used.
The stockpiles of crushed and un-crushed aggregate located on the Western side of
the site could be suitable habitat; therefore, these areas should be avoided until reptile
clearance has been completed.
The earth bund around the site may contain reptiles and should be avoided. However,
once the conditions are suitable, these areas could be cleared or excavated under a
watching brief by the ecologist in a controlled manner.
The side slopes and lower area around the site (MOD security patrol zone adjacent to
the security fence) may be reptile habitats and should be avoided. However, once the
Page 33
conditions are suitable, these areas could be cleared, excavated or filled under a
watching brief by the ecologist in a controlled manner.
Table Top Mountain is not suitable habitat; therefore, the planned mobilisation works
i.e. site facilities set-up, installation of temporary security fence, repositioning MOD
CCTV masts and cameras etc can be carried out without further ecologist supervision.
Bull Point Access Road is not ideal reptile habitat but could suit nesting birds,
therefore, this area should be cleared under a watching brief as soon as possible to
mitigate any risk.
New Access Road is not reptile habitat but has areas suitable for nesting birds and
therefore should be trimmed / coppiced / cleared as soon as possible under a
watching brief to mitigate any risk.
Planned early works or the main works should not be adversely affected by the
possibility that reptiles are still present on site as the risk can be managed and
mitigated with early clearance of suitable habitats and / or works being undertaken
under a watching brief.
Briefings about the reptiles on site shall be included as part of the induction process.
Regular toolbox talks shall be held prior to any construction activities commencing, reiterating the ecological issues.
Species identification training and posters shall be available on site to assist all site
personnel with identification (See attachments 1 and 2).
In the event of the discovery of any reptiles during the construction works, immediate
surrounding works shall cease. The site foreman shall contact the site manager, who shall in
turn contact the ecologist. No works may commence within the area until an ecologist has
given permission.
Flora
Site preparation works includes the levelling of earth mounds and clearance of areas of scrub
and trees using specialist contractors.
Individual trees and tree groups not requiring removal shall be protected in accordance with
BS5837:2005 Trees in Relation to Construction. A Tree Protection Zone shall be established
within which no work shall take place without the prior authorisation of a suitably qualified
arboricultural consultant. Clear signage shall be placed on all fencing surrounding the
protected tree area. The fencing shall be regularly checked and any areas found to be of poor
quality or damaged, shall be repaired or replaced immediately. All site personnel shall be
Page 34
made aware of which areas are not to be entered within the Induction Programme and this
shall be reinforced throughout the duration of the works through regular toolbox talks.
The existing Blackies Wood habitat shall be managed to promote the wildlife which already
exists.
Landscape design shall incorporate native planted woodland and shrubs that shall represent
the existing landscape character; the creation of wildlife corridors boundaries; the
reinstatement of an existing ditch to connect to a newly created freshwater pond; areas of
open species-rich neutral grassland and bird, bat and insect boxes.
The Japanese knotweed within Blackies Wood and on the slopes of Table Top Mountain
(outside the site boundary but adjacent to the construction compound) shall be treated and
eradicated to halt the spread of this invasive species.
4.11 Land contamination

Ground investigations at the site have not encountered significant contamination of either soils
or groundwater and the ground has been classified as suitable for commercial and industrial
use and it is intended that all excavated material shall be re-used on the site.
There is a potential risk to off site receptors from emissions of contaminated dust but the
Environmental Statement identified that the risks from contaminated dusts are deemed to be
low due to the lack of significant contamination within the site soils and will be further
controlled with good working practices and the implementation of dust control measures
during the construction works as described in Section 4.2 above.
During the site induction all personnel shall be made aware of their responsibility to be vigilant
with regards to identification of potential soil contamination. Key personnel in this respect are
ground workers, machine operators and their banksman. Training will be provided to
supervisors to provide the necessary awareness to identify areas of contamination.. They will
report any suspicions of contaminated soil or groundwater to the site management.
If unforeseen contamination is encountered during site works, the specific element of work will
be suspended and the area will be segregated. The result of any notification will also be
reported to the LPA and the Environment Agency, remediation options shall be considered
following assessment and identification of contaminants. Any remediation process shall
comply with all legislative and best practice guidance.
Page 35
Should any excavated soils need to be removed from site for disposal to a landfill the soils
shall undergo Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing in order to correctly classify the
material in terms of waste disposal. The results of the WAC testing shall be supplied to the
chosen waste acceptor at an early stage of the process in order to locate a suitable landfill
site.
Excavations and Stockpiles
All stockpiled material will be located away from sensitive receptors with suitable bunds and
/or barriers to prevent cross contamination as a result of run-off.
Deep excavations always pose a potential hazard with regard to encountering contaminated
materials or the build up of hazardous gases. Methane was detected at depth in one location
on the site during the ground investigation but no evidence of elevated levels were detected
elsewhere across the site.
Strict Health and safety precautions will be implemented for all excavations and this may
include the use of gas monitors should the need be defined from a thorough risk assessment
of the activity being undertaken. The risk assessment will identify the necessary actions to be
taken in the event of activation of any gas alarms.
4.12 Resource use

MVV shall ensure where practicable, that the use of recycled or sustainable materials shall be
utilised. All wood should be obtained from a certified sustainable source, such as FSC.
MVV shall ensure that up to fifteen per cent (15%) and at least a minimum of ten per cent
(10%) of total material value of the civil construction and building works derives from reused
and recycled content in new build. Appropriate opportunities shall be accepted to exceed this
figure without increasing the cost of materials.
A dedicated area shall be maintained for storage of all materials and due care and appropriate
handling shall be undertaken at all times to reduce any risk of damages and wastage.
Packaging of items should not be removed until required, to ensure maximum potential for
returning of unused goods.
As much office waste as possible shall be sent for recycling and also strategies are to be put
in place to ensure minimal wastage on site, for example avoiding unnecessary printing etc.
Where possible, use of local suppliers shall be considered to reduce transportation costs and
maintain a low carbon footprint.
Page 36
Waste disposal options shall be investigated to ensure minimal transportation requirements

where possible. Onsite crushing and reuse of materials shall be incorporated into the project.
This shall aid reduction in waste going to landfill as well as minimising vehicular movements
on the local road systems.
4.13 Energy Consumption/Monitoring

Switch it Off schemes and other energy saving campaigns shall be implemented on site to
encourage all personnel to consider their carbon footprint. Use of car sharing and buses shall
be encouraged as outlined in the CTMP. Posters shall be clearly displayed within the site
offices to ensure all personnel are aware of the CTMP requirements. This shall also be
covered within the site induction and regular toolbox talks held relating to the subject.
4.14 Water usage

Within site accommodation taps shall be switched off when not in use and all staff shall be
made aware of water saving techniques. Every effort to ensure reduction in water use shall be
implemented where available.
4.15 Visual Amenity

The environmental impact assessment process identified that the construction process posed
a potentially short term impact.
The following mitigation measures shall be deployed to
minimise the impacts;
The proposed Devon hedge bank and avenue planting are to be implemented at the
earliest opportunity upon commencement of construction. This is to allow maximum
time for establishment prior to completion and operation.
Visual issues should be considered in deciding upon the need for lighting and its
location and specification. Temporary lighting should use suitable lamps with flat glass
lanterns and cut-off beams in order to minimise light spillage.
Provision by the contractors of records of all pesticide / herbicide use.
Provision by the landscape contractor of evidence that planting complies with

provenance requirements as applicable.
Weed control in general and actions taken to ensure that hazardous weeds in the area
are destroyed and not spread (e.g. Japanese knotweed).
Handling of soils in accordance with British Standard (BS) 3822:2007 Topsoil; and
locating, where possible, temporary materials storage mounds in areas that would
Page 37
mitigate views of the proposed development for adjacent receptors and without
damaging the ecological resource.
Ensure that the site boundaries are kept clean and tidy at all times, including local
roads
The site shall be securely fenced and the fencing shall be well maintained and kept
free of attachments and non-site specific posters.
Damaged or unsightly fencing must be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
4.16 Vermin
Maintenance of a clean and tidy site including vermin control is essential. An appropriate pest
control measure will be adopted as necessary. The site has already been subject to a pest
control survey and baiting programme and control measures shall continue throughout the
construction phase including;
Correct and satisfactory stopping and sealing of all disused drains and sewers where
applicable
Prevention of accumulation of refuse and putrescent materials
Ensuring any on-site catering facilities pay careful attention to food delivery, handling
and storage and disposal of any food waste.
A baiting and survey programme was commenced on the 12 October 2011 and a survey
report with any recommendations for further actions will be made available prior to
commencement of the main construction works.
Page 38
Attachment 3 Weekly checklist

The weekly checklist shall be used to ensure that the regular environmental monitoring activities are carried
out. This checklist is intended as a summary record of the site environmental conditions and monitoring
activities and of any environmental incidents.
The checklist will be developed as necessary to include any further environmental impacts that may be
identified as construction progresses and individual incidents will be further documented as and when
necessary to fully record all details and actions taken.

Attachment 4 Environmental Risk Assessment & Aspects and Impacts

Matrix (civil construction works)
The majority of the civil construction works will take place before the process equipment installation
commences. Therefore an initial risk assessment has been prepared for the potential environmental impacts
of the civil works.
Additional risk assessments will be prepared for the other construction activities in due course prior to
commencement of the relevant activity on site.

Introduction
1.1
Scope
This pollution control and incident response plan forms part of the environmental
management plan for the contract. It describes the pollution control and reporting process
to be followed by Kier and their subcontractors.
1.2
Definition and Example

1.2.1
An environmental incident will typically be, but not be limited to, the examples
listed below:
Minor oil spills away from watercourses
Not working in accordance with the environmental requirements of a Works
Procedure
An event or series of events causing environmental harm i.e. silting up of a
river, an oil spill
A breach of consent conditions i.e. generating noise in excess of the Local
Authority Section 60/61 limits
Issue of a statutory enforcement notice by the Local Authority or Environment
Agency.
2.
Pollution Control Measures
2.1
Sufficient numbers of spill kits will be strategically placed around the site, especially in areas
identified as potential spillage locations. The locations of these spill kits should be checked
periodically and especially if access to the area changes throughout the programme of the
works. A map should be clearly displayed to identify the location of all spill kits, if positions
change; the map must be updated to reflect the changes. The site Foreman and/or other
nominated person [by PM] are responsible for checking and maintaining the spill kit
materials. No litter is to be placed in the spill kits, and they must be clearly labelled and
materials enclosed listed and kept up to date. Also a copy of the SPILL PROCEDURE must be
included within the spill kit container. Used materials from the kits must be disposed of
appropriately, and replaced as a matter of urgency. Appropriate waste facilities must be
provided for contaminated materials. These waste facilities must be kept separated from any
other non-contaminated wastes.
All sites should where possible use double bunded plant or equipment, where double bunded
plant or equipment is not available, there must be an additional method of containment to
ensure no pollution or spillages occur. This could be in the form of plant nappies and/or drip
trays. Where drip trays are used, suitable methods for emptying must be employed, such as
with hand held pump and the contaminated water disposed off correctly. The trays must be
checked daily (more during wet weather) to ensure no build up of contaminated water
overspill from the tray.
All bulk fuel tanks will be adequately protected (including concrete bund) to prevent major
spillage in the event of hose failure or other equipment malfunction. The protection must
include use of sandbags and booms to create a protective barrier around the equipment.
3/9/2012
Initial plant set-up is to be checked and signedoff. The amount of fuel in the tanks on
arrival must be recorded, (99% of the time they are usually empty). Generators with feed
and return valves that work independently from one another are now banned from all Kier
Construction Sites. Only authorised personnel may have access to generator enclosures and
they must be kept locked at all times. Authorisation to be indicated by issue of a Blue
Card.
Wheelwash facility must be provided to prevent any spreading of contamination onto local
roads. All vehicles carrying waste away from site must use covers to prevent any loss of load
and additional dust.
Weekly combined Health, Safety and Environmental Inspection will be carried out to ensure
procedures are followed.
2.1.1. ENV01 Risk assessments will be undertaken and the following processes to be put in
place:Sensitive Receptors (including Weston Mill Creek)
Any areas which pose risk of pollution to groundwater, surface water or drainage must be
determined through risk assessment.
Where groundwater has been identified, additional due care must be taken to ensure no
contamination may occur. Maps should be marked up to clearly identify all groundwater
aquifers known below a site. Bulk tanks will not be located within 10 meters of any
watercourse or 50 meters of a borehole or well, any breach of this would be a breach in
legislation.
All Pumped water should be discharged via appropriately sized silt separation tanks to
prevent any introduction of solids into the existing water courses. Discharge should be
monitored, sampled and results recorded.
Use of Materials Hazardous to aquatic environments should be chosen carefully and control
measures enforced to prevent any leaching of substances into ground/surface water.
Monitor water levels in and around areas of substantial dewatering processes. Areas to be
recharged with extracted groundwater to same quality and temperature.
Working near Water
Check that permissions have been obtained for any temporary works
Ensure that surface run off from the site is contained and discharge controlled by
appropriate methods (silt fences, settling tanks, and balancing ponds.)
Floating booms should be used in the above to contain any chemical/petrol chemicals
resulting from surface runoff these are last resort measures to catch unexpected
substances.
Appropriate land drainage consents must be complied with
Site Transportation
Have delivery routes been established for on and off site. See Site Plan
No out of working hours deliveries will be accepted.
3/9/2012
Site haul routes should be regularly inspected and dust suppressed to ensure that air
quality does not deteriorate in the immediate vicinity of the construction site.
Concrete Washout Area
Is located sufficiently away from any water courses or drainage outlets.

Will be a Siltbuster RCW unit.
Will be regularly monitored to ensure no overflowing of unit
Appropriate training will be undertaken for use of equipment
Environmental Permit must be complied with
2.2
The site Gangers and Foremen will be trained in pollution incident mitigation and clean-up.
All External company will be employed to deliver the half day training for site personnel.
2.3
Training will be given to ensure that all staff are aware of the necessary operating
procedures.
2.4
Periodic exercises will take place to test the effectiveness of this procedure and records of
these exercises held on site. It is recommended that these tests are undertaken on a basis
of no less than 3 monthly intervals to ensure procedures are kept up to date.
2.5
The flow chart in Appendix A describes the sequence of actions to be followed in the event of
a pollution incident.
Appendix B contains the Major Incident Response Plan to be followed in the event of a major
pollution/environmental incident.
3.
Managing Firewater Spillages
3.1
Emergency containment systems appropriate to the site layout must be considered in the
event of firewater having to be used. Firewater cannot be allowed to contaminate any
watercourses. There are a number of ways in which pollutants can enter watercourses such
as: - direct entry through site drainage system, run off into nearby watercourses or through
the ground. A detailed plan of site drainage has been incorporated into this document in
Appendix D, clearly showing the potential receptors for spillages and location of spill kits and
emergency containment equipment. Site drainage has been examined to ensure in event of
emergency at Plymouth Energy from Waste (C1005), potential sensitive receptors for
pollution have been identified through risk assessment and suitable method of containment
to be used. Suitable methods would include bunds, trenches, shut-off valves and lagoons.
Emergency materials and equipment located will be located in the sensitive areas. Guidelines
for firewater containment are available from the Environment Agency PPG18 Managing
Firewater and Major Spillages copy of which is held on site.
3/9/2012
4.
Dust Control Methods
4.1
Dust suppression methods must be considered especially during dry periods. The methods
must ensure dust cannot contaminate surrounding property, cause pollution of watercourses
or damage to any wildlife and ecology. Risk assessment will define areas as at risk of dust
contamination. Suitable methods available would include use of bowsers and/or micro spray
systems. For control of dust on roads, all lorries will be covered, and use of road sweepers
will be implemented where appropriate. Where any lorries are noted to be leaving sites
Noise Pollution
5.1
The contract 1005 at Devonport, Plymouth is subject to Section 61 Consent. The constraints
enforced by Plymouth City Council are shown in Appendix E. Acceptable working hours are
defined in the project consents. Works are not permitted outside of the permitted times
without prior consent.
Suitable methods should be undertaken to ensure reduction of disturbance potential. Noise
monitoring will be undertaken at specific points around the site area. Where it is deemed
the noise impact to pose significant risk, alternative methods should be incorporated to
mitigate this risk.
Use of low noise plant and good plant maintenance should be
incorporated on site. A noise compliant protocol will be introduced with published contact
numbers must be made available to all residents, EHO and other authorities in the event of
emergency/nuisance during work periods and for periods outside of normal working hours.
6.
Contaminated Land
6.1
Where there is potential for contaminated materials to be removed from site, stockpiling of
such material is required, the storage area must be secure to ensure it does not pose risk of
leaching into any water courses or groundwater. When disposing of any contaminated
wastes, carriers and disposal sites must be verified for the type of waste stream prior to any
removal being undertaken. Prior to any soils being removed from site, a comprehensive test
will be carried out to determine whether the soils are inert/hazardous or non-hazardous. The
results of this testing will determine which disposal route is most appropriate. No WAC
testing will occur until the first stage Full Characterisation Testing has been completed.
Site must be registered for producer of hazardous waste.
7.
Chemical and Product Inventory
7.1
A full inventory of all chemicals and products for Plymouth Energy from Waste (C1005),
which have a potential to cause pollution will be populated at the start of the project and
kept in on file. This list is to be completed and kept up to date as necessary. Any chemicals
or products will be appropriately stored.
7.2
Use of De-Icing Agents on site

When de-icing agents are required on site, please ensure you follow correct procedures for
its use and handling. A Greentop has been developed to give guidance as to which products
are suitable for use. A comprehensive usage plan must be drawn up, to include risk
3/9/2012
assessment, site plans, safety data sheet and manufacturer instruction, to ensure minimal
risk to any watercourses, wildlife and ecology.
8.
Incident Reporting
8.1
The Environmental Manager will investigate into the cause of any major incidents, which will
be recorded and notified to the relevant Project Manager using the Kier PAIR Form
(Appendix C), also incidents will be logged through the Project Controls System. Where any
complaints are made against the site with regard to noise, this must be recorded and acted
upon immediately.
