H

1. Maintain haul routes to minimize potholes, ruts, debris and other obstructions 2. Avoid slopes, including slopes in the direction of travel. If slopes cannot be avoided, check with the vehicle manufacturer that the dumper can negotiate the slopes safely 3. Dumper overturns often occur due to a combination of slope and rough ground so manufacturers guidance on the capability of a vehicle to negotiate a slope should be reduced where rough ground must be negotiated 4. Speed should be kept to a minimum on rough ground 5. Where traffic routes pass close to the edge of a roadway, embankment or other drop, make sure the edge of the roadway is suitably supported and a barrier in place to prevent vehicles running off the roadway (either stop blocks or bunded) 6. Undertake regular maintenance and vehicle checks in accordance with manufactures recommendations 7. Stop blocks or safe bunding edges of haul roads / slopes

METHOD STATEMENT



3.0 SITE ACCESS & EGRESS

The site is situated off Burtonwood Road, Westbrook; Warrington. Access will be via extg steel gates off the roundabout on Burtonwood Road. The existing gates will be kept shut and locked at all times when not in use.

Access to the work area and water course will be via existing hard standings/ roads where available, when unavailable routes will be defined within the Miller Red line boundary to avoid unnecessary trampling of the wider area.

Route definition will take into account proximity to bank edges for both stability and safety implications. As mentioned in the site CEMP plan –

To mitigate any conflict with GCN in hibernation we will install the outfall head wall by Nov 2013, all stockpiles/ arising’s from ditch excavations will be moved or loaded immediately so as not to attract wildlife.

To further mitigate / discourage GCN’s plant machinery and materials will not be stored in close proximity to the water course. It is our aim to prevent GCN’s from seeking shelter or protection within our materials storage area. If storage is necessary, blocks will be used to keep items off ground.

4.1 All operatives and operators will produce valid CSCS / CPCS cards or Certificates of Competency, prior to starting work.

4.2 All plant shall have valid safety certificates and will be produced prior to starting

work. All plant operators should fill in daily check sheets for submission to the site manager at the end of the week.

4.3 All work will be undertaken in accordance with the D Morgan Health & Safety

Policy, the Project Health & Safety Plan and Site Rules, taking particular notice of the hazards associated with working on site.

METHOD STATEMENT



4.4 Operatives will be suitably inducted and given regular toolbox talks on the

hazards involved and the precautions required.

4.5 The on-going operations will be monitored by our Project Manager Darren Fowles (Tel: - 07771847473) to ensure that they comply with the restrictions outlined.

4.6 Smoking is not permitted on site, except in designated areas.

4.7 No work is to proceed until a valid excavation permit to work has been issued

by the site Engineer.

5.0 PHASING & SEQUENCE OF THE WORKS

5.1 Upon arrival on site a full CAT and generator survey will be carried out by the site engineer to locate all known services within the work area, with the services being marked out.

5.2 A ‘Permit to Dig’ will then be issued to all machine operatives and banksman

detailing all known services on an attached drawing.

5.3 The D6 Dozer will push the topsoil off the proposed route of the swale into an agreed location and stockpiled for future use on the batters.

5.4 Excavation works will commence with a 360 tracked excavator using a V shaped bucket.

5.5 Arising’s will be loaded directly onto an ADT or forward tipping dump truck for disposal in the tip or for reuse elsewhere on site.

5.6 Site won clay will be used to form the batters of the swales; this will be transported from point of loading to tipping point by ADT’s under guidance of a banks man.

5.7 When site won material is being moved all trucks / ADT’s will adhere to site speed limits and banks man’s instructions. When loading the dump trucks will reverse towards the loading excavator, with the aid of mirrors and reversing camera, until a suitable loading place has been achieved. The excavator driver will signal the ADT driver at this point. The dump truck driver will then apply the handbrake and select neutral gear. The excavator will then load the skips of the ADT’s to practical carrying weight/volume. The truck will be signalled when the load is ready. The operator will drive the truck towards the fill area and select his tipping location ensuring the truck can tip safely on firm and even ground. The truck driver will then turn the cab of the truck away from the selected tipping location and drive forwards until the cab and body are in line. The driver will then select reverse gear and travel backwards until the desired tipping location is achieved, apply the handbrake and select neutral gear. The operator will then raise the body of the ADT and deposit the load. Once the skip is fully raised the operator will select forward gear and release the handbrake. The

METHOD STATEMENT



truck will then drive forward until the truck is clear of the deposited load. Once this is achieved the truck will return to the loading excavator and repeat this operation until completion. Turning circles will be formed beyond the fill area for the trucks to turn and head back to the loading excavator(s).

5.8

Compaction in areas of the swale requiring fill will be carried out using ride on vibratory roller. The compaction plant will observe the correct number of passes for the materials being placed according to Table 6/4 of the ‘Specification for Highway Works’.

5.9 In the instance of surface water run-off from existing roads and haul routes, areas will be identified to install catch pits initially. Silt nets will then be installed at the discharge points in a half moon shape and nailed to engineering pegs. All run off will then be channelled towards the catch pits with a series of v-ditches. Should the flow be too great for the catch pits to function efficiently check dams will be installed using pipe bedding material, at regular intervals.

5.10 All catch pits, v-ditches, silt nets and settlement ponds will be proactively

monitored by the site supervisor, always assuming the worst case scenario.

5.11 As mentioned in section 3.0 –

To mitigate any conflict with GCN in hibernation we will install the outfall head wall by Nov 2013, all stockpiles/ arising’s from ditch excavations will be moved or loaded immediately so as not to attract wildlife.

6.0 CONTROL MEASURES

6.1 All personnel to attend the D. Morgan Site Inductions and will be required to hold passes for access to the site. All personnel must stay within the designated working area at all times.

6.2 Site inductions are to be carried out by the D Morgan site supervisors; this

will include the site rules, emergency procedures, site specific hazards. Regular tool box talks and daily task briefings will be held to discuss further safety issues relevant to the works in progress.

6.3 Dust monitoring will be carried out visually, by the site management team

whilst works are under way

6.4 Stockpiles will be in designated, agreed areas controlled by DM staff.

6.5 All plant/wagons will have operational flashing beacons.

METHOD STATEMENT



6.6 All machines using vibratory equipment (crusher, breaker etc) will be assessed for noise and vibration exposure limits.

6.7 Regular Occupational Health Screening is carried out on all Operatives.

6.8 Dust and Particulate Suppression All D Morgan haul routes will be damped

down as necessary by the D Morgan tractor and bowser.

6.9 Surface Water / Rain Water run-off will be channelled to the constructed drainage system where it will pass through check dams constructed of pipe bedding.

6.10 Refuelling Plant will be refuelled using onsite tank. The excavator within the

will be refuelled using a towable bowser with spill kits available. All ADT’s will be refuelled away from any watercourse

It is important that all established procedures are followed and that any problems are reported immediately. The site will also be subjected to a formal internal audit to assess the operation of the EMS.

3.2 Environmental awareness will be continually promoted and further improvements

discussed by carrying out Toolbox Talks on a regular basis to ensure that all operations are carried out to minimise the risk of pollution and reduce the volume of waste produced on site. All site personnel and sub-contractors will be required to sign the attendance record for these talks.

3.1 Environmental considerations will form part of the initial site induction, where the contents of this management plan will be disseminated to all personnel to ensure the awareness of its contents to all persons on site.

3.2 There is a requirement to carry out water sampling on 4 watercourses around site. 4. CONTROL OF WORKS

4.1 All incidents, no matter how minor, are to be reported to D. Morgan Site Manager and Client team (see organisational chart Appendix A). External parties will be contacted if required by D Morgan Site Management.

4.2 Refuelling / Fuel Storage - will be stored on site in limited quantities in a COSHH store

which will be bunded, with a collection tray for spill prevention and control. Refuelling





operations will be undertaken by daily visits from a mobile bowser and will take place in designated areas where drip trays will be utilised to catch any potential spillages. No refuelling will take place within 50M of any watercourse. To further mitigate any potential contamination to ground or watercourses, the bowser is equipped with a quick release fuel nozzle and all operated plant will be equipped with spill kits to tackle any spillages which may occur (no matter how minor).

4.3 All site fitters will be inducted to site rules. Any waste arising from maintenance / fitting

work shall be removed from site by the fitter and disposed of via either the D Morgan main office fitting service waste agreements (i.e. waste oils, grease cartridges, rags) or by our sub-contractor’s waste streams.

4.4 Plant, particularly articulated dump trucks, will have designated haul routes and

permitted areas for parking. These vehicles are to avoid causing any undue damage to flora and fauna which is not to be cleared in this phase of the works. Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of these works on the local ecology onsite.

4.5 Wherever possible materials will be reused locally not only to reduce waste, but also to

reduce emissions with localised rather than long haul movement of materials. It is also intended to maximise ‘dig once, place once’ options, minimising double handling of materials (saving both noise and emissions pollution).

4.6 Water management will be a high priority on this project. Localised bunding and lagoons

may be required to prevent surface water adversely affecting the works. It may also be necessary to excavate ‘grips’ or ‘v’ ditches to capture water and channel towards a holding area (lagoon), preferably the permanent works swales.

4.7 The spine road embankment will be constructed to allow surface water and solids to run into the works and on to the sand fill layer thus acting as a sponge for all surface water run-off. Either side of the fill area there will be bunds located to prevent surface water leaving the works.

4.8 Where water has collected in excavations or sump holes and is required to be pumped

clear, the water will be recharged to the sand fill in order to prevent its release into any watercourse. If any is suspected to be contaminated (it has oily residues apparent, odour or discolouration) then it must not be pumped until verified.

4.9 During the works all personnel shall remain vigilant to the potential of contaminated

materials. If any materials are suspected to contain contamination (oily residues, odour or discolouration), then works will stop and samples will be taken to determine whether or not the materials are contaminated.

4.10 It is believed that asbestos containing materials may be found on site. During the clearance works all personnel shall be briefed as to the likely presence and on finding such materials they will be fenced off and a plan for dealing with them put in place. This will be to confirm that the materials contain asbestos; if notifiable then a specialist sub-contractor will be procured (if not, then trained D Morgan personnel will undertake the works); the materials will be double bagged in asbestos bags and placed in an enclosed skip for offsite disposal to a licensed site to accept asbestos waste.

4.11 In order to maintain a high standard of good practice, Omega Warrington Limited has requested that the works are registered to the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) and adhere to the scheme’s code of practice. In accordance with BREEAM requirements, a CCS score between 32 and 40 will be achieved and all sections within





the scheme will achieve a score more than or equal to 3. The scheme will be implemented through each sub-contractor.

4.12 The contents of the WSP document ‘Construction Environmental Management Plan’ will

be considered throughout the works and the relevant parts adhered to, with most of its requirements being addressed within this document. All plant to be parked a min of 50m from any watercourses No re-fuelling within 50m of water courses but 100m as best practice. Any spills or leaks must be cleaned up immediately and reported to the Site Management Discharge points must be formally agreed prior to any works commencing. Silt traps, catch pits and drainage ditches must be checked and cleaned at least daily and more regular if needed. Discharged water must be as clean as possible at discharge point In the instance of surface water run-off from existing roads and haul routes, areas will be identified to install catch pits initially. Silt nets will then be installed at the discharge points in a half moon shape and nailed to engineering pegs. All run off will then be channelled towards the catch pits with a series of v-ditches. Should the flow be too great for the catch pits to function efficiently check dams will be installed using pipe bedding material, at regular intervals.

All catch pits, v-ditches, silt nets and settlement ponds will be proactively monitored by the site supervisor, always assuming the worst case scenario.

4.1 Wheel Wash Facilities - To prevent mud etc. from entering the public highway a wheel wash is located 100M inside the main gate at Burton wood Road, the condition of the water will be monitored to ensure site going vehicle wheel are optimally cleaned prior to leaving site.





5. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

5.1 Fuel/Oil (or other potentially damaging substance) Spillage

Introduction

This external lighting statement has been prepared to support the planning application

submitted by Bericote Properties Limited for a proposed new Automated Distribution Centre

at the Omega South Business Centre in Warrington; and sets out the building external

lighting strategy as aligned with local planning policy.

The proposed development will comply fully with Warrington Borough Council

Supplementary Planning Document: Environmental Protection Supplementary Planning

Document: 5 Light pollution.

1.0 Context

1.1 (5) Light Pollution

(5.1.1) What is Light Pollution?

Light pollution is the term used to describe unwanted light from artificial light sources. Light

pollution can occur as:

• Sky Glow - the orange glow visible around urban areas resulting from the scattering

of artificial light by dust particles and water droplets in the sky;

• Glare - the uncomfortable brightness of a light source when viewed against a dark

sky;

• Light Trespass - light spillage beyond the boundary of the property on which a light is

located.

(5.5.1) Proper Design and Planning

It is possible to reduce many of the negative effects of lighting through proper design and

planning. This can be achieved by using lighting only where and when necessary; using an

appropriate strength of light; and by adjusting light fittings to direct the light to where it is

required. Luminance should be appropriate to the surroundings and character of the area as

a whole. 'Over lighting' should be avoided and shields, reflectors and baffles used to help

reduce light spill to a minimum. Use specifically designed equipment that once installed,

minimises the spread of light above the horizontal should also be considered.


Tate Consulting 6

(5.3.1) Requirements for Specific Lighting Schemes - C. Commercial & Industrial

Developments

• Avoid use of lights simply to create a 'presence' at night;

• Concentrate lights where they are needed and establish a clear hierarchy, with

minimum lighting around the outer, perimeter of the complex.


Tate Consulting 7

2.0 The Development Site

2.1 This document has been prepared following consultation with the Local Planning

Officer to support the planning application for the proposed new project Omega Distribution

centre, Warrington; and sets out the External lighting strategy.

2.2 To the Southern, western and Eastern boundaries of the proposed development site,

there will be predominantly storage and distribution, commercial development buildings and

connector roads. The proposed lighting installations will have to take account of nearby

connector roads to minimize glare and minimize light spillage onto adjacent plots/buildings.

2.3 To the northern boundary of the proposed development site is the M62 motorway.

The proposed lighting installations will have to take account of the nearby motorway to

ensure that glare to oncoming motorists is eliminated.


Tate Consulting 8

3.0 Assessment of the Need for Lighting

3.1 Not withstanding the legislative requirements to provide adequate means of

illumination to prevent the occurrence of dangerous incidents. The external lighting is an

integral requirement of Bericote’s loss prevention policy and a requirement to prevent

vehicular and pedestrian incidences.

3.2 The three key issues that drive the requirement for artificial lighting in Bericote’s

service yards are:

• safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement;

• security of property and goods; and

• extension of working practices;

3.3 Bericote will not operate the development without external lighting because the

perceived operational risks are too high. External service yards are sometimes at their

busiest during the hours of darkness. The risk to personal injury or property damage from

vehicular or product movement is high.

3.4 The safety and loss prevention benefits of providing external lighting outweigh any

negatives for not providing external lighting.

3.5 Lighting in itself is not a problem; it only becomes a problem where it is excessive,

poorly designed or badly installed1. Additional control measures for providing artificial

external lighting have been considered, and will be incorporated into the external lighting

design, where required. Refer to control measures for a list of the control measures to be

incorporated into the lighting design.

Tate Consulting 9

4.0 Lighting Standards

4.1 The following external lighting standards and guidance documents will form the basis

for assessment of the minimum lighting design standard to be provided for the development:

British Standards:

BS 5489, 1:2003 Code of Practice for the design of road lighting – Part 1: Lighting of roads

and public amenity areas

BS EN 13201, 2:2003 Road lighting – Part 2: Performance requirements

Countryside Commission/DOE:

Lighting in the Countryside: Towards good practice

CIBSE Lighting Guides:

LG1, The Industrial Environment (1989)

LG6, The Exterior Environment (1992)

CIE Publications:

92, Guide for floodlighting (1992)

126, Guidelines for minimizing Skyglow (1997)

ILP/CIBSE:

GP09: Lighting the Environment - A guide to good urban lighting (1995)

GN01: Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light (2011)


Tate Consulting 10

5.0 Design Standards

5.1 The whole of the Lighting shall be designed to achieve the following maintained

illuminances at floor level:

Loading docks (exc. Side of loading canopy) 20 lux

Loading canopy 20 lux

Access roadways BS 5489

Carparks 15 lux

Hardstanding areas 15 lux

Main entrances 15 lux

HGV parking areas 15 lux

Gatehouse area 20 lux

Transfer areas 20 lux

5.2 The whole of the external lighting installation shall achieve a minimum light level of 5

lux.

5.3 The uniformity ratio of the whole of the lighting installation shall be 0.30.

5.4 Floodlighting to the service yards will comprise a combination of lighting columns

around the site perimeter, at a height not to exceed 12m mounting height; and preferably be

8m high, and building mounted floodlights, mounted along the elevations at a height not to

exceed 10m; and preferably be mounted at 8m high.

5.5 The proposed external lighting installation will be designed in accordance with the

environmental zone classification E3 that is set out within ILP Guidance Notes for the

Reduction of Obtrusive Light2. The table below is an extract from the ILP guidance note and

sets out the environmental zone classifications for different environmental conditions. We

2 The Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP) - Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light

GN01:2011


Tate Consulting 11

have adopted the obtrusive light limitations for this external lighting installation as prescribed

for a E3 classification.

Notes:

ULR = Upward Light Ratio of the Installation - the maximum permitted percentage of

luminaire flux that goes directly into the sky.

Ev = Vertical Illuminance in Lux - measured flat on the glazing at the centre of the window.

I = Light Intensity in Candelas (cd)

L = Luminance in Candelas per Square Metre (cd/m2)

Curfew = the time after which stricter requirements (for the control of obtrusive light) will

apply - this often a condition of use of lighting applied by the local planning authority. If not

otherwise stated - 23.00hrs is suggested.


Tate Consulting 12

* = Permitted only from Public road lighting installations

(1) Upward Light Ratio – Some lighting schemes will require the deliberate and careful use

of upward light, e.g. ground recessed luminaires, ground mounted floodlights, festive lighting,

to which these limits cannot apply. However, care should always be taken to minimise any

upward waste light by the proper application of suitably directional luminaires and light

controlling attachments.

(2) Light Intrusion (into Windows) – These values are suggested maxima and need to take

account of existing light intrusion at the point of measurement. In the case of road lighting on

public highways where building facades are adjacent to the lit highway, these levels may not

be obtainable. In such cases where a specific complaint has been received, the Highway

Authority should endeavour to reduce the light intrusion into the window down to the post

curfew value by fitting a shield, replacing the luminaire, or by varying the lighting level.

(3) Luminaire Intensity – This applies to each luminaire in the potentially obtrusive direction,

outside of the area being lit. The figures given are for general guidance only and for some

sports lighting applications with limited mounting heights, may be difficult to achieve.

(4) Building Luminance – This should be limited to avoid over lighting, and related to the

general district brightness. In this reference building luminance is applicable to buildings

directly illuminated as a night-time feature as against the illumination of a building caused by

spill light from adjacent luminaires or luminaires fixed to the building but used to light an

adjacent area.


Tate Consulting 13

5.6 The CIBSE recommendation for illuminating loading bay canopies is 150 Lux.

However, Bericote have agreed to reduce this requirement for this site to 20 Lux. The

diagram below indicates the position of luminaires placed on canopies above loading bays

for safety purposes.

Diagram 1: Correct positioning of canopy loading bay lighting


Tate Consulting 14

6.0 Control Measures

6.1 This section describes the particular control measures that this site will incorporate to

minimize light spillage, trespass and pollution:

6.2 The external lighting shall be time controlled to ensure that the lighting installation

only operates within the specified operating hours, and to provide a facility to switch part of

the external lighting installation off during periods of low activity.

6.3 In addition, the external lighting installation shall incorporate a photo- electric cell

control, to prevent the lighting installation operating during the hours of daylight, thus

conserving energy and minimizing carbon emissions. The photo-electric cell set-point

threshold shall be set at 50 lux.

6.4 A manual override control facility will be provided for testing and maintenance

purposes only.

6.5 The whole of the external lighting installation will comply with the performance

requirements set out within the ILP guidance note for reduction of obtrusive light.

6.6 The external lighting design will not incorporate any luminaires that have aiming

angles beyond the horizontal working plane.

6.7 Measures shall be taken to eliminate light spillage onto adjacent land from luminaires

positioned on the development site.

6.8 Illuminance levels will be reduced to the absolute legal minimum to conserve energy

and to minimize light pollution.

6.9 The design shall incorporate measures to prevent light spillage onto adjacent land.

6.10 Where practically possible, all luminaires facing out of the development will be

positioned to minimize direct visual contact with the lamp source.


Tate Consulting 15

7.0 Design Measures for Biodiversity

Refer to the ecology report prepared by Arnott & Mann Ecology Consultants and the relevant

extracts relating to the operational mitigation of the spill of the external lighting and the

potential impact to the local habitat to the site.

STORAGE OF PLANT AND MATERIALS

3. MONITORING AND AWARENESS

3.1 The Site Management Team is required to carry out regular monitoring of the system

and will complete a detailed checklist as part of an Environmental Site Review (detailed above). It is important that all established procedures are followed and that any problems are reported immediately. The site will also be subjected to a formal internal audit to assess the operation of the EMS.

3.2 Environmental awareness will be continually promoted and further improvements

discussed by carrying out Toolbox Talks on a regular basis to ensure that all operations





are carried out to minimise the risk of pollution and reduce the volume of waste produced on site. All site personnel and sub-contractors will be required to sign the attendance record for these talks.

3.1 Environmental considerations will form part of the initial site induction, where the contents of this management plan will be disseminated to all personnel to ensure the awareness of its contents to all persons on site.

4. CONTROL OF WORKS

4.1 All incidents, no matter how minor, are to be reported to D. Morgan Site Manager and Client team (see organisational chart Appendix A). External parties will be contacted if required by D Morgan Site Management.

4.2 Wherever possible materials will be reused locally not only to reduce waste, but also to

reduce emissions with localised rather than long haul movement of materials. It is also intended to maximise ‘dig once, place once’ options, minimising double handling of materials (saving both noise and emissions pollution).

4.3 Any hydraulic breaking operations will be kept to a minimum and within the agreed site

working hours. These operations, wherever possible, will be undertaken away from the site boundary and local residences.

4.4 Water management will be a high priority on this project. Localised bunding and lagoons

may be required to prevent surface water adversely affecting the works. It may also be necessary to excavate ‘grips’ or ‘v’ ditches to capture water and channel towards a holding area (lagoon), preferably the permanent works swales.

4.5 Wherever possible all breakable materials on site will be processed to engineering

materials and used within the works. This will reduce the number of vehicular movements on the local roads and limit nuisance to the local community.

4.6 During the works all personnel shall remain vigilant to the potential of contaminated materials. If any materials are suspected to contain contamination (oily residues, odour or discolouration), then works will stop and samples will be taken to determine whether or not the materials are contaminated.

4.7 It is believed that asbestos containing materials may be found on site. During the clearance works all personnel shall be briefed as to the likely presence and on finding such materials they will be fenced off and a plan for dealing with them put in place. This will be to confirm that the materials contain asbestos; if notifiable then a specialist sub-contractor will be procured (if not, then trained D Morgan personnel will undertake the works); the materials will be double bagged in asbestos bags and placed in an enclosed skip for offsite disposal to a licensed site to accept asbestos waste.

4.8 In order to maintain a high standard of good practice, Omega Warrington Limited has requested that the works are registered to the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) and adhere to the scheme’s code of practice. In accordance with BREEAM requirements, a CCS score between 32 and 40 will be achieved and all sections within the scheme will achieve a score more than or equal to 3. The scheme will be implemented through each sub-contractor.





4.9 Additionally, all office staff must ensure they adopt the D Morgan ‘print both sides policy’ wherever possible and reduce the use of paper and printer ink as far as practicable. All personnel will be required to follow the ‘switch me off’ policy when leaving a room and switch off any electrical appliances which do not need to be consuming electricity.

4.10 Every effort must be made to segregate office, canteen and packaging waste and place in the relevant receptacles for recycling. There will be separate bins for paper, cardboard, plastics, cans and general waste.

4.11 The contents of the WSP document ‘Construction Environmental Management Plan’ will be considered throughout the works and the relevant parts adhered to, with most of its requirements being addressed within this document.

4.12 Wheel Wash Facilities - To prevent mud etc. from entering the public highway a wheel wash is located 100M inside the main gate at Burton wood Road, the condition of the water will be monitored to ensure site going vehicle wheel are optimally cleaned prior to leaving site.

5. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

5.1 Fuel/Oil (or other potentially damaging substance) Spillage

In the event of a spillage incident the following procedure must be followed;

Eliminate sources of ignition and cordon off area. Attempt to contain the spillage without risk to personal health and safety. Inform a member of the Site Supervisory Team of the approximate volume of the

spillage, location and measures taken at present. Where necessary, use plant from the locality to form bunds, excavate to Dump

Trucks or any other action which may contain/mitigate the spillage. Use spill kits from the plant to clean up or if necessary use adjacent soils. Do not allow the spillage to enter a watercourse. Site Manager to inform WSP staff and, if necessary, contact the following;

o Fire 999 o Environment Agency 0800 807060 o United Utilities 0845 746 2200

Site Manager to liaise with the above and agree measures to remediate area. Site Manager to complete an ‘Incident Report Form’ or NCR.

5.2 Surface Water Release

In the event of surface water release the following procedure must be followed;

Attempt to contain the release without risk to personal health and safety. Inform a member of the Site Supervisory Team of the approximate volume of

water released, location and measures taken at present. Where necessary/possible, use plant from the locality to form bunds or excavate

a sump (remembering to check Permit to Dig prior to breaking ground). Site Supervisory Team to call in bowser or pumps to ensure that the release is

contained in the bund/sump and does not overflow. Site Manager to inform WSP staff and, if necessary, contact the following;

o Environment Agency 0800 807060 o United Utilities 0845 746 2200





Site Manager to liaise with the above and agree further/improved mitigation measures.

Site Manager to complete an ‘Incident Report Form’ or NCR.

5.3 Emergency Preparedness These emergency procedures should be brought to the attention of all site personnel and, at a suitable time during the works, drills should be carried out to ensure that the emergency arrangements are effective and understood by all personnel.

6. RECYCLING AND WASTE DISPOSAL:

In line with the CL:AIRE Development Industry Code of Practice (2008) and under the objectives of the Site Waste Management Plan Regulations (England) 2008, the client and contractor shall provide a Site Waste Management Plan.

All materials will be separated/segregated as far as reasonably practicable in order to minimise the quantities of mixed materials. The waste hierarchy will be considered at all times.

The site arising materials are detailed in the tender documents and site method statements. The materials have been identified as soils, brick & concrete, vegetation, trees & hedges and general waste.

The fate of all materials will be tracked and recorded within the tables on the following pages of this Plan.

Typically; Soils Suitable engineering materials will be used for cut to fill operations. Unsuitable inert materials will be used within the landform. Brick and/or Concrete Any brick and/or concrete arising from the works will be processed (crushed) to produce engineering materials. Concrete will be crushed to 6F2 specification and brick will be used for hardcore purposes. Any tarmac arising from the works will be incorporated into the processed materials in quantities not exceeding those from the ‘Specification for Highway Works’, Series 600, Table 6/1 for the type of aggregate being produced. Vegetation, Trees & Hedges All vegetation, trees and hedges will be dealt with in the Site Clearance; chipped and cut up as necessary. Chippings will remain on site, with cuts and stumps being removed from site. General Waste All general waste will be separated into the following categories and recycled as far as possible; paper, cardboard, plastics, cans and general waste. The estimated quantities of these wastes is very low, but will be tracked throughout the works.
