Environmental Codes of Practice for Pollution Control Dust Pollution Control The construction fugitive dust is mainly caused by the traveling of vehicles on the construction site road, the piling of building materials and earthwork, the transportation of earthwork, muck and construction waste, the house demolition and the agitation of concrete and mortar. For the fugitive dust pollution sources mentioned above, this ECOP proposes the following control measures: (1) The existing roads or those to be constructed on the construction site or in its neighboring area should be firstly used as the main passages on the Changsha Environmental Protection Vocational College 24 Hunan ECOP for Small-scale Civil Works construction site. If it is necessary to build new passages, hardening should be conducted based on the applications, for example: roads for heavy-loaded vehicles can be constructed with reusable load-bearing brick (elements) and normal passages can be laid with reusable water-permeable brick. Meantime, road sections which produce fugitive dust should be sprinkled for dust suppression. (2) The materials should be piled in a compact manner on the construction site. The construction roads should be combined with two types, viz. permanent road and temporary road to reduce the occupied land area. When another site should be selected for material storage and processing in case that the construction site is narrow and small, the wild land, waste land and idle land should be considered firstly. (3) The ground of areas for material storage, processing and big formworks should be level and solid. (4) Fugitive discrete materials in fine particles on the construction site should be stored and unloaded in an airtight manner. Masking measures should be taken for their handing. (5) The earthwork should be piled in a concentrated place and be covered, solidified and greened. For the excavated spoil, cut-fill balance calculation should be firstly carried out if there is a site to pile it, or resource allocation be conducted with neighboring construction site to backfill with the original soil as much as possible and reach the cut-fill balance on the earthwork volume. (6) The exposed ground of the office area and living area on the construction site should be sprinkled for dust suppression and be greened and beautified based on actual conditions. (7) Transport vehicles of a sealed type should be used for the transportation of earthwork, muck and construction waste. Facilities for vehicle washing should be set up at the exit/entrance of the construction site. Vehicles should be cleaned up before leaving the site. Concrete, asphalt or broken brick hardcore should be laid on the road between the vehicle washing facilities and Changsha Environmental Protection Vocational College 25 Hunan ECOP for Small-scale Civil Works the exit of the construction site to avoid the mud and sand being carried out of the site. (8) In case of house demolition, a construction plan should be prepared previously by the Contractor of the civil works and approved by the construction supervision institution and the town project institution to determine whether to take such fugitive dust preventive measures as cleaning the dust, sprinkling the demolished structure and arranging separate plate. Waste and muck should be stored in an area on the demolition construction site and be cleaned and transported timely. Waste and muck should be transported from the demolition construction site based on the approved route and time to dump at the designated disposal place. (9) Premixed concrete and mortar should be encouraged to use on the construction site. (10) Dust proof and suppression measures should be taken for the agitation of concrete and mortar. (11) Earthwork backfill, transportation and other constructions which would produce fugitive dust should be avoided in case of windy days with a 4-grade wind. Harmful Gas Emission Control Harmful gases during the construction period of small-scale works are mainly from the construction machinery, transportation vehicles and the waste gases caused in the decoration process.

(3) Qualified construction materials approved by legal inspection unit should be selected as the decoration finishing materials. (4) Asphalt, coal tar preservatives and damp-proof agent should not be used Changsha Environmental Protection Vocational College 26 Hunan ECOP for Small-scale Civil Works for wood board and other wood materials used in civil engineering project interior decoration Water Pollution Control Waste water in the construction period of small-scale works is mainly composed of the construction and production waster water and domestic sewage, of which construction and production waster water is mainly from the washing of the concrete mixer reception and vehicle. For the above- mentioned waste water, this ECOP proposes the following control measures: (1) A sedimentation basin should be provided at the washing place for concrete mixer reception and the transportation vehicle on the construction site. The waste water should not be drained directly into the municipal sewage pipe network or rivers and can be recycled or sprinkled for dust suppression after a second sedimentation. When the mud and sand in the sedimentation basin reach the 1/4 depth, spoil disposal should be carried out to transport the mud and sand to the designated places instead of abandoning them randomly. (2) An oil separator should be provided at the canteen and a disposal unit who possesses a waste disposal qualification certificate and a business certificate issued by relevant departments should be entrusted to carry out timely treatment. (3) Swill buckets of a seal type should be provided outside the canteen and timely treatment should be carried out. (4) Septic tanks of the temporary toilet provided on the construction site should be impermeable. (5) Drainage ditches and sedimentation basin should be provided on the construction site, and a filter screen should be provided for the water pipelines of the canteen, lavatory and shower cubicle. The construction waste water can be drained to the municipal sewage pipe network or rivers after sedimentation and the drainage ditches should be kept clean and clear.
