Impacts from Wastes and Effluents Sample Clauses

Impacts from Wastes and Effluents. The Project footprint is located partly in significantly populated areas. Poorly managed wastes from project activities would therefore affect nearby households and institutions. At the time of the site visits, no waste or effluent was observed within rural sections of the project footprint, mostly dominated by farmlands and thickets. However, based on the current land use of the sections of the footprint falling within the greater Githurai area, the main waste generated is largely domestic and biodegradable attributed to the increased density of settlements and varying livelihood activities. During the construction phase, general wastes produced will include: plastics, metal and wood, cement, paper, paints and sealants. In addition, waste oil from the construction equipment and machinery will also be produced. The sensitive receptors of these wastes and effluents will be Project workers, farmers and other residents of the project area. Effluents may also find their way to the nearby soils, rivers and streams, thus degrading the soils and reducing the water quality of these Rivers. Mitigation/Management Measures • A Waste Management Plan (WMP) will be produced for the construction phase following the principles of waste minimisation at source, segregation for reuse, recycling, and disposal of waste. • The Contractor will adequately allocate responsibilities for waste management. • The Contractor will ensure wastes are handled by personnel licensed to do so especially in the case of hazardous waste. • The Contractor will make suitable facilities available for the collection, segregation and safe disposal of the waste, also ensuring wastes are not blown off site by winds contributing to wind-blown litter in the area. • The collection of wastes that cannot be reused or recycled will be collected by approved waste contractors and transferred to an appropriately (NEMA licensed) waste management facility for treatment and ultimate disposal. • Fuels will be stored on site in temporary aboveground storage tanks. • Trucks and construction vehicles will be serviced off site. • The use, storage, transport and disposal of hazardous materials used for the project will be carried out in accordance with all applicable Kenyan regulations, and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
