Air Quality Pollution Sample Clauses

Air Quality Pollution. Potential air pollution caused by dust and emissions from construction equipment (carbon, hydrocarbons, particulate matter,) earth movers and excavators, vehicles, concrete and cement batching plants and trucks, Emission of dust from trucks and vehicles accessing the construction areas and camp sites as well as material piling (sand and aggregate). Odor from temporary disruption of accumulated solid waste materials at locations of construction and connections to existing sewerage network, such impacts may affect the immediate residential houses and commercial premises. This impact is likely to be more under component 1 of the project where the contractor will be working near people’s homes that under component 2 of the works where the contractor will be working within the existing waste water treatment ponds. The impact is rated low to both components of the project. Severity of Impact -2 Spatial Scope of the Impact -2 Duration of Impact -3  Maintain construction equipment at high operational conditions such as to control emissions into the air.  Earth moving be done under dump conditions as much as possible to prevent emission of dust into the air,  Similarly, piled materials (sand and aggregate) should be maintained dump to prevent dust emissions,  It will be necessary to notify the immediate neighbourhoods on the potential odors during the excavations. The period should, however, be kept as short as possible (odor generation may not be fully eliminated during the period)  Use of sprinklers to regularly water construction site, this suppresses the dust menace at construction sites
