Measures for controlling dust and general pollution from site construction operations, and include details of any monitoring scheme, if appropriate.


7.2 84 Control Measures


The level of risk for potential dust impacts differs depending on the stage of construction i.e. demolition, earthworks, construction or trackout. Appropriate mitigation measures, as outlined in best practice guidance produced by the GLA and London Councils, are anticipated to include:


Appropriate mitigation measures, for the level of risk for potential dust impacts Site Planning


Construction Traffic Site Activities


Effective barriers would be erected around dusty activities or the site boundary


No bonfires would be allowed on site


Machinery and dust- generating activities would be located away from sensitive receptors


No vehicles would be allowed to idle on site


Speed limit on un-surfaced roads to minimise potential for dust generation


Vehicles leaving site would be washed if necessary


All loads entering and leaving site would be covered


Runoff of mud and water would be prevented Monitoring of mud on road with road sweeping and brushing as required


All non-road mobile machinery would use ultra low sulphur diesel where available


Temporary cover or re- vegetate earthworks if possible Wetting/dampening of dust generating stockpiles


Skips would be covered and drop heights minimised


Cutting equipment would have water suppression or suitable local exhaust ventilation systems


Dust-generating activities would be minimised Stockpiles would be kept in place for the shortest possible time


Table 2: Appropriate mitigation measures, for the level of risk for potential dust impacts 85


The traffic effects of the proposed development during the construction phase would be temporary and would be along traffic routes employed by haulage/construction vehicles and workers.


7.3 Monitoring 86


Water would be used as a dust suppressant as appropriate


The mitigation measures described above will be monitored by the Contractor‟s environmental management representative and ECW throughout the construction phase as set out in the EMP. If non-conformity with any of the mitigation measures is
