The Contractor shall provide suitable structures for the washing of the tyres of the vehicles and lorries leaving the construction site. In addition, all kinds of measures shall be taken to prevent the contamination of the surface waters in the area (creek, river, etc.) by the waste waters arising from the activities. The Contractor shall prevent the discharge of the contaminants such as cement, cement lime, chemicals, fuel, etc. to the water sources. Water intake to the construction site may be observed because of the high water tables. In case of such an event, the water intake to the construction site shall be prevented, contact between the water and construction materials, cement and additive chemicals shall be avoided and the water shall be canalized to another area. Solid Wastes Enough garbage cans shall be provided for the collection of the residential solid waste. Collected solid waste shall be disposed in a landfill licenced by the related municipality. Solid waste of different characteristics (residential solid waste, inert solid waste, hazardous waste) shall be collected and disposed separately. In the framework of the solid waste management, the recycling of metals, glass, etc. shall be ensured as much as possible. The Contractor shall provide different containers with enough capacity to ensure the collection of solid waste of different characteristics. Waste collection areas in the field shall be controlled regularly to ensure that there is no leakage to the soil or water sources. Packaging wastes shall be disposed in accordance with the Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste Control. The packaging wastes should be collected separately and they should be returned to the manufacturing company.

The disposal of the solid waste shall be performed in accordance with the Regulation on Solid Waste Control. The disposal of excavation waste and debris shall be performed in accordance with the Regulation on Excavation Soil, Construction and Debris Waste Control. The collection and disposal of the hazardous waste arising from the area shall be performed in accordance with the related regulations (Regulation on Hazardous Waste Control, Regulation on Waste Oil Control, Regulation on Waste Batteries and Accumulators Control, Regulation on the Reducing of Ozone-Depleting Sustances) and by the licenced persons, in licenced facilities. The packaging wastes of the hazardous chemicals and construction materials shall be accepted as hazardous waste and disposed accordingly. Hazardous waste containers and landfills shall be marked by suitable signs and warnings and covered with secondary containment. Running waters arising from these sites shall be collected and discharged in accordance with the Regulation on Water Pollution Control. In case of nonrecyclable materials such as oil based paints and chemical additive materials, thinner, turpentine, disposal shall be performed according to the Regulation on Hazardous Waste Control. Asbestos containing materials (ACM) may arise from demolition activities. Any ACM arise during demolition activities should be recorded in an inventory and ACM should be treated as hazardous waste. ACM should be collected separately and sent to a licensed hazardous waste disposal facility for the final disposal. In the event of the disassembly of the mercury containing materials (fluorescent lamps, etc.), the substances shall be disassembled without breaking and shall be stored in closed boxes which prevent any kind of leakage until the disposal process. The boxes containing mercury and other types of residential or industrial hazardous waste shall be marked accordingly. Hazardous waste and chemicals shall be stored away from the dining and camping areas. These storage spaces and containers shall be observed regularly to make sure that there is no leakage. Mobile equipment and construction equipment shall be controlled and Maintained regularly to make sure that there is no fuel or oil leakage.

The Disruption of Traffic In the roads affected by the construction, special care shall be taken to ensure that the disruption in traffic and damages to the pedestrians using the road are avoided. Service roads shall be used to avoid the traffic increase in existing roads and “Warning�, “No Entry� signs shall be placed if necessary. Unnecesarry traffic shall be avoided and only specified roads shall be used for the traffic related to the construction activities. Protection of Habitats Since the Project is based on construction activities in urban areas, the environmental management of the direct effects to the important and vulnerable habitats is not expected to be an important topic. With the correct applications of the waste water, solid waste management and protection of natural sources, the possible indirect effects to the habitats are not expected, either. However special measures must be taken if the construction site is placed near a vulnerable area (rivers, wetlands, coastal areas, etc.) to ensure that such areas and related habitats are not affected. During construction activities, special care shall be taken to protect the habitats and the destruction of the vegetation cover and cutting of the trees shall be kept to a minimum. All habitats affected by the construction activities and traffic shall be restored. The Protection of Soil The excavation soil arising from the excavations to be performed outside the buildings shall be stored in appropriate places and be used to restore the area affected by the excavation. The topsoil arising from the excavation shall be stored away from the contamination and effects of traffic and separately from subsoil. The storage procedure shall be performed in a level area to avoid the prevention of drainage. Wind and water erosion shall be prevented by appropriate methods (usage of plastic tarpaulins, appropriate drainage, placement of barriers around the stacks, etc.). The prevention of erosion in the construction site shall be ensured by the protection of the vegetation cover and the provision of appropriate drainage. Cultural and Historical Assets In areas with cultural and historical asset value, the Contractor shall carry out his/her activities according to the related laws and regulations (Code of Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets and related regulations). Protection and effect reducing measures to be applied in buildings with cultural and historical asset value or in buildings situated near such properties shall be determined by the Contractor based on the field studies performed before the construction in the framework of environment management plan. The items which have vulnerable cultural and historical asset value shall be determined in the pre-construction field study by the Contractor and shall be reported to the Engineer for approval. During pre-construction field studies, the Contractor shall coordinate with the Engineer and shall determine the below mentioned topics with the Engineer;  The history and protection state of the buildings and nearby buildings  The cultural and historical value and sensitivity of the area in which building is situated (the possibility of archeological and historical remains, special cultural and religious value, etc.)  The sensitivity of the items in the field, considering the planned demolishment and construction activities (excavations, alterations on sides, etc.) The cultural and historical sensitivity state of the area shall be determined by the decisions of the preservation board and related authorities. In the culturally and historically sensitive areas (especially in first degree protection properties) the Contractor shall coordinate with the Environmental Health and Safety Expert and the Engineer during the construction planning. The Contractor shall determine the registration conditions, preservation areas and building protection status before the construction and obtain necessary permits. The contractor shall include the information about the cultural and historical elements, materials, structure status in the pre-construction report by using tools such as coloured photographs, illustrations, etc. The Contractor shall inform the Engineer about the conditions of these elements before and after the construction by using photographs. The Engineer shall inspect the activities of the Contractor and ensure that the historical and cultural elements are preserved, the design controlled by the Engineer of the Management is observed and there is no harm done to the historical and cultural buildings nearby, if any. The photographs belonging to the historical and cultural elements presented to the Engineer must be of archiveable quality. Provincial directorate of Ministry of Culture and Tourism will be notified and construction works will be stopped in case any cultural and natural heritage is encountered during construction. In case of possible safety risks to the cultural and historical properties, additional measures shall be taken to ensure the security of the construction site and unauthorized entry to the preserved areas and the effects arising from the traffic shall be avoided. Alterations and additions made to the sides of the building shall be in harmony with the cultural, historical and social texture. Special care shall be taken to ensure that chemical leakage and spills and dust emission which may harm the historical buildings during construction are avoided. In addition, the storage of the hazardous materials (especially materials of flammable, explosive, corrosive, etc. quality) shall be away from the historical and cultural properties to reduce the fire risks and accident risks. In the event that activities with fire risk are necessary to be carried out near the fire risk vulnerable historical and cultural properties, special attention shall be shown and enough equipment and employees shall be ready on site to take necessary measures. During construction in historical and cultural properties (especially in activities performed nearby the sensitive historical structures) the Contractor shall choose the best application methods to keep the vibration level to a minimum. The construction site sourced drainage piping shall be built in such a way that ensures the prevention of water inflow and dampness to the historical elements. The contact of the cement mixture and leaching water with the historical elements shall be avoided at all costs. Public Consultation and Disclosure Public Consultation is an important element for the proper implementation of the construction activities. Public consultation is necessary to ascertain the public’s views. Providing for people’s participation in the construction activities is a way to improve environmental governance by providing a mechanism to influence decisions of the Contractor about the construction activities. Before starting the construction activities, the Contractor shall make a public consultation meeting for the people living near the construction site. The aim of the meeting is to inform the people about the construction activities, obtain their demands and claims before the construction activities and give the name and contact information of the contractor’s and the Engineer’s responsible staffs for the complaints and demands of the public about the activities of the contractor during the construction stage. The contractor shall place an informational sign to provide general information about the construction activity including the project, the contractor, the client name, etc. Other Topics During construction, the Contractor shall observe the Radiation Safety Regulation provision in some parts of the buildings and he/she shall ensure that related health, safety and environmental measures are taken during activities. The chemicals used for construction purposes shall be stored in appropriate containers and boxes and necessary warning signs shall be placed accordingly. These storage areas shall have waterproof floors and prevent the leakage, spill and dust emission to the environment. Clean-up kits and absorbent materials shall be ready in construction site to clean up the spillages and be placed in strategic points where the access and usage of these materials can be easy and quick. Similarly, first aid kits and fire extinguishers shall be ready in site for the purpose of emergency response. The workers shall be provided with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (e.g. wearing glows when working with materials such as wet cement, grout which can cause skin eruption and serious chemical burns on skin and eyes) to ensure safe working conditions. During the activities in construction site, PPE usage and safe working conditions shall be provided in accordance with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulation and Regulation on the Usage of Personal Protective Equipment in Workplaces. Environmentally less sensitive areas (such as areas far from surface water resources, far from vegetated lands, etc.) approved by the Engineer shall be chosen for the cement mixing process (including storage areas for cement, sand and aggregate). The cement mixing procedure shall not be performed directly on soil. The usage of lead based paints shall be limited as much as possible and paints containing low Volatile Organic Carbon (VOC) shall be preferred. Selected paints shall be in accordance with the TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) standards and shall be of eco-friendly quality. PPE shall be used when dealing with chemical and hazardous waste or high-risked areas and safe working methods shall be observed. In the process of removing lead plates or asbestos containing materials from the x-ray rooms, dust formation and direct contact with the materials shall be avoided. In the process of using moulding oil, extra care shall be taken to avoid accidents and spills. For the application of moulding oil, appropriate brushes and rollers shall be preferred instead of rags and tatters. Small scale containers shall be used for the utilization of the leaked oil and effects arising from accidents shall be kept to a minimum. The Contractor shall examine the construction site visually before the commencement of works to take measures against any kind of risk. The construction site shall surrounded and warning signs shall be placed for safety purposes.
