Environmental Law Assignment

Environmental – Michael Law
One of the ways of reducing environmental effects caused by the construction projects
is thorough the implementation of tall tree construction and the embracing financially
sustainable measures to enhance resources effectiveness. As well as, minimizing
waste generated through recycling and reusing the fabrics if possible and minimizing
consumption of natural resources through construction and design.
Environmental management plan
The environmental management plan refers to the issues related to the environment
and how they will be dealt with during the implementation process.
Project Design
At the initial stage, the natural environment, materials, and design will be assessed
and all their effects on the surrounding environs of the site will be taken into account.
The design and choices ideas will be centred on how to minimise the undesirable
effects on the surroundings. The ideas for design include the application of natural
environment to reduce the energy use.
Water and soil management/erosion and sedimentation control.
At this stage the entire work will be conducted in order to avoid erosion and at the
same time prevent sediments from getting eroded by water bodies, land and the
stormy geomorphology. In order to stop the spreading erosion of the sediments,
mitigation measures should be carried out right from the point of clearing and
excavation.
Vegetation Management
In order to ensure that the pre-existing trees and natural features are preserved, the
planning of this task will be carried out in a specific way. This can be achieved by

fencing off all the preserved zones and demarcating carefully ensuring the zones are
safe from destruction throughout the construction process. In the event that will be
many plants or animals in risk of extinction on the ground, proper conservation
measures should be applied appropriately in order to deal with the protection or the
relocation of this natural features. All the areas that were damaged during the
construction will be restored to their initial state and according to the contract
specification. Lot of efforts will be put in place to minimise the environmental wastes
that can be achieved by reuse and mulching the vegetation on site.
Waste Management and Resources
For the purpose of reducing the impact to the environment and the wastes we will
embrace the hierarchy of the wastes I.e. Avoid, reduce, recycle and dispose in order to
utilize resources recovery and the same time reduce wastes where possible in the
entire construction process. This practice of waste management will be included and
highlighted in the site induction.
There will be appropriate skips and bins to be used for the collection and separation of
the wastes and the recyclables. These will be carried out by the licensed and qualified
waste contractors.
Noise Management
In the entre construction stage we will make all possible efforts to ensure that we have
complied to the noise management and at the same time to reduce the nuisance caused
to the neighbourhood. The risk controls for the noise generated from the site will be
contained in the appropriate safety technique which includes harm to the
neighbourhood, if necessary; the noise controls should be performed according to the
existing regulations on development agreement.

All the areas that were damaged during the construction will be restored to their initial
state and according to the contract specification. Lot of efforts will be put in place to
minimise the environmental wastes that can be achieved by reuse and mulching the
vegetation on site.
Water Quality Management
During construction, various measures of minimising water pollution will be
instituted in ensuring that the construction activities and emission of hazardous wastes
is controlled. The potential water pollutants on site include wastes containing acids
and chemical residues, and painting brushes. This is allowed at places that are
approved by the relevant regulatory body. The used liquids on site will be labelled in
order to minimise the probability of misplacements. All the materials and liquids
which are likely to pollute water sources will be kept in secondary containments and
careful treatment will be done before disposal.
Carrying out a thorough site assessment would be useful in reducing the possibility of
contamination by giving a clear distinction and storage of inharmonious waste and
ensure that the all events that comprise the waste are conducted in a controlled region
to avoid land contamination or water pollution.
Air Quality Management
During the entire construction process, should ensure total compliance with all the
environmental standards which regulate air pollution. All the facilities including

machines and equipment onsite will be operated and designed in order to reduce
smoke and dust emission, plant and vehicle exhausts and among other air pollutants.
In ensuring that the effects of air pollution witnessed on site are minimized, during
construction, various measures of minimising water pollution will be instituted in
ensuring that the construction activities and emission of hazardous wastes is
controlled. The potential water pollutants on site include wastes containing acids and
chemical residues, and painting brushes. the following techniques will be used.
The spraying and wetting down of the soil which is disturbed and the marram
roads to prevent the emission of dust.
To ensure that all the loads leaving the site are covered.
To make application of sediment shakers on the exist and entry into the site in
order to prevent dirt and mud from entering into the public roads which
surround the site.
Hazardous chemical, oils, substances and other contaminants
Prior to the start of work an evaluation of the location and quantities of harmful
chemicals and materials held onsite must be carried out. Carrying out a thorough site
assessment would be useful in reducing the possibility of contamination by giving a
clear distinction and storage of inharmonious waste and ensure that the all events that
comprise the waste are conducted in a controlled region to avoid land contamination
or water pollution.
Water and soil management/erosion and sedimentation control.
At this stage the entire work will be conducted in order to avoid erosion and at the
same time prevent sediments from getting eroded by water bodies, land and the
