Chemical Waste. For those processes which generate chemical waste, it may be possible to find alternatives which generate reduced quantities or even no chemical waste, or less dangerous types of chemical waste. Moreover, the Contractor should register with EPD as a Chemical Waste Producer. Chemical waste that is produced should be handled in accordance with the Code of Practice on the Packaging, Labelling and Storage of Chemical Wastes as follows: ⚫ Containers used for the storage of chemical waste should: - Be suitable for the substance they are holding, resistant to corrosion, maintained in good condition, and securely closed; - Have a capacity of less than 450 litres unless the specifications have been approved by the EPD; and; - Display a label in English and Chinese in accordance with instructions prescribed in Schedule 2 of the Regulation ⚫ The storage area for chemical waste should: - Be clearly labelled and used solely for the storage of chemical waste; - Be enclosed on at least 3 sides; - Have an impermeable floor and bunding, of capacity to accommodate 110% of the volume of the largest container or 20% by volume of the chemical waste stored in that area, whichever is the greatest; - Have adequate ventilation; - Be covered to prevent rainfall entering (water collected within the bund must be tested and disposed as chemical waste if necessary); and - Be arranged so that incompatible materials are adequately separated. ⚫ Disposal of chemical waste should: - Be via a licensed waste collector; and - Be a facility licensed to receive chemical waste, such as the Chemical Waste Treatment Facility which also offers a chemical waste collection service and can supply the necessary storage containers; or - Be to a re-user of the waste, under approval from the EPD.

Chemical Waste. Chemical waste shall be stored in corrosion resistant containers, removed from the Site, and disposed of not less frequently than monthly unless more frequently required by Laws, including without limitation hazardous materials laws, or by the Supplementary General Conditions or Specifications. Disposal of chemical waste shall be performed in accordance with requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Fueling and lubricating of vehicles and equipment shall be conducted in a manner that affords the maximum protection against spills and evaporation. Lubricants shall be disposed of in accordance with procedures meeting all applicable Laws. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Designer of any hazardous materials release large enough to require reporting under applicable Laws. The Contractor shall be responsible for immediately cleaning up in accordance with Laws any oil or hazardous materials releases resulting from its operations. Any costs incurred in cleaning up any such releases shall be borne by the Contractor.

Chemical Waste. (Chemicals used in production of biological, chemicals used in disinfection, as insecticides, etc.) Chemical treatment@@and discharge into drains for liquids and secured landfill for solids. @@ Chemicals treatment using at least 1% hypo-chloride solution or any other equivalent chemical reagent. It must be ensured that chemical treatment ensures disinfection. ## Mutilation/shredding must be such so as to prevent unauthorized reuse. @ There will be no chemical pre-treatment before incineration. Chlorinated plastics shall not be incinerated. * Deep burial shall be an option available only in towns with population less than five lakhs and in in rural areas.

Chemical Waste. 4.5.3 The operation, maintenance, and servicing of construction and decontamination treatment plant and equipment may generate some chemical wastes such as cleaning fluids, solvents, lubrication oil, fuel, and used carbon filters. It is difficult to quantify the amount of chemical waste that will arise during the decommissioning and decontamination works since it will be dependent on the contractor’s on -site operation and maintenance requirements and the amount of plant utilized. However, it is anticipated that the quantity of chemical waste, such as lubricating oil, solvent produced from plant maintenance, and used carbon filters would be small and in the order of a few cubic metres per month. The amount of chemical waste to be generated will be quantified in the site Waste Management Plan to be prepared by the contractor.
Chemical Waste. 5.10 Should chemical wastes be produced at the construction site, the Contractor would be required to register with EPD as a Chemical Waste Producer and to follow the guidelines stated in the Code of Practice on the Packaging, Labelling and Storage of Chemical Wastes. Good quality containers compatible with the chemical wastes should be used, and incompatible chemicals should be stored separately. Appropriate labels should be securely attached on each chemical waste container indicating the corresponding chemical characteristics of the chemical waste (such as explosive, flammable, oxidizing, irritant, toxic, harmful, or corrosive). The Contractor should employ a licensed collector to transport and dispose of the chemical wastes, to either the CWTC in Tsing Yi, or any other licensed facilities, in accordance with the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation.
Chemical Waste. 5.7.1 Chemical waste should be handled in accordance with the Code of Practice on the packaging, Handling and Storage of Chemical Wastes as follows. Containers used for the storage of chemical wastes should: • be suitable for the substance they are holding, resistant to corrosion, maintained in a good condition, and securely closed; • have a capacity of less than 450L unless the specifications have been approved by the EPD; and • display a label in English and Chinese in accordance with instructions prescribed in Schedule 2 of the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulation (Cap. 354C).
Chemical Waste. 6.18 Construction plant and vehicle maintenance may generate a small amount of chemical wastes during construction works, such as cleaning fluids, solvents, lubrication oil and fuel.
