Illustrative Layout of The Four Proposed New Activities at MTR in 2019 (for detailed descriptions, see Section 1.3) IV A. Project Description 1.1 Background and Purpose The World Bank Financed Hubei Jingzhou Historic Town Conservation Project was approved by the Executive Board of the the World Bank (IBRD) in January 2016, and the loan took effect in July 2016. During the project preparation phase, the Project Management Office of World Bank Financed Hubei Jingzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project (the PMO) developed an environmental and social management plan (July 2015 edition) which was approved by the World Bank. During the project implementation stage, the dredging method and the location of sediment disposal yard in the subcomponent ancient wall moat dredging under the subproject B-Improvement of Ecological Environment and Water Environment of Historic Town were changed. Accordingly, the original environmental and social management plan was updated and approved in June 2017. In 2018, during the project mid-term review, the PMO proposed to include four new activities in the original project scope, i.e., upgrade of the Jingzhou Museum, renovation of brick and stone pavement of Jingzhou’s Historic Town city wall-top footpath (11.28km), renovation of the Jingzhou’s Historic Town city outer walkway loop (11.45 km) and rrehabilitation of the North Lake. All those four proposed new activities are kept within the original project scope, featured as further enhancement, extension or optimization of the original project, and those are identical or very similar with the original project, so are the expected potential environmental impacts and corresponding mitigation measures. As such, the PMO developed this environmental management plan1 (EMP, solely for the proposed four new activities at mid-term review) with the technical assistance from the consultant, Wuhan Zondy Green Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. The document will be submitted to the World Bank project team for review, and will be subject to revise after incorporating the opinions of all parties. Similar with the original environmental and social management plan, this EMP (for the proposed four new activities at mid-term review) is prepared as a part of environmental impact assessment. Final plan will be determined upon considerations such as engineering, cost and minimum impact on environment during project design and environmental assessment phase. As a part of proposed four new activities preparation and evaluation, environmental impact assessment has already been conducted. As a part of environmental impact assessment, EMP is formulated on the basis of the findings of environment impact assessment, especially those adverse impacts identified in project construction and operation. EMP also puts forward corresponding mitigation measures which could lower the impacts to be in compliance with national and local environment standards and applicable safeguard policies of the World Bank. Environmental impact assessment documents, including the EMP, combine project design with protection plan for environmentally sensitive items. The implementation of EMP will minimize the potential impacts of the proposed new activities on environment. In order to implement EMP effectively and practically, in project preparation phase, expense budget for environmental measures will be incorporated into proposed four new activities budget, environmental mitigation measures into technical specification documents of engineering procurement, training and consultation cost for the implementation of EMP into the total investment estimate of the proposed four new activities. In the meantime, the PMO will employ qualified and experienced external monitoring consultant (EMC) for EMP to independently conduct external monitoring. EMC shall monitor whether construction entity carries out all environmental measures specified in bidding documents and whether all environmental measures put forward in project preparation phase are effective and reasonable, so as to submit better suggestions to PMO for strengthening environmental management in project construction and operation. 1.2 Brief Review on Implementation Status of Original ESMP The approved and updated environmental and social management plans have been strictly implemented during the project construction period and the mitigation/prevention measures for various negative impacts were adopted. Before and during the construction stage, the EMC conducted two environmental trainings for the contractors. Signboards and fences are erected at construction site boundary. Since workers stay in rented 1 The proposed four new activities will not involve any involuntary resettlement, and are expected to mainly bring positive social impacts, therefore, here this plan is mainly to address potential environmental impacts. 1 houses nearby, domestic sewage and garbage are treated by existing living facilities. Scrap wood produced is collected and properly dispose daily to prevent fires. Construction waste is transported and disposed by local sanitation department designated by government. Mixed soil is stirred offsite then enters construction site for use to avoid dust. The contractors use machinery with low, no continuous noise, which causes minor impact on surrounding residents, park, museum and cultural relics. Tourists are prohibited from entering the construction area, and the entire construction process has little impact on the environment and staffs of those scenic spots. In order to protect the integrity of historical buildings and the safety of buildings, professional property companies hang safety warning signs around, designate security personnel to conduct regular inspections, and carry out regular house maintenance. The dredged sediment disposal yard is equipped with intercepting ditch, and culvert pipes are buried underneath and connected to each other. The collection wells on the site collect a small amount of sewage which is transported to local sewage treatment plant for treatment. Generally, the entire construction process has little impact on the environment. In addition, the implementing agencies have a variety of complaint channels which are disclosed at gate of each construction site, and complaint (if any) can be resolved in a timely manner. In December 2016, Hubei Academy of Environmental Sciences was commissioned by the PMO to be responsible for the external environmental monitoring of this project 2 . As of March 31, 2019, Hubei Academy of Environmental Sciences submitted four semi-annual reports on the implementation of the environmental management plan. The reports concluded that during the reporting periods, the on-site environmental test results basically met the requirements of national standards; there were no safety incidents incurred; and neither environmental complaint was received, nor significant environmental issues were identified. Overall, the implementation status of the environmental management plans is satisfactory. 2 Wuhan University was engaged concurrently for social impact and resettlement monitoring. 2 1.3 Introduction of the Newly Proposed New Activities at Mid-term Review Table 1- 1 Summary of Newly Proposed New Activities at Mid-term Review Subprojects Brief of description of subproject Characteristics of the area that are of particular interest* (new, renovation, scale) (including rationales, brief introduction of baseline, location, characteristics, scale, extension, surrounding sensitive receptors) New activity 1- Upgrade of the Demolition of a three-story old office building with a floor area of Nature of the proposed new activity: This is the expansion or Jingzhou Museum: with an estimated 1,620 m2 (covering a land area of 610 m2), on which site and the extension of the original component A - Cultural Heritage cost of USD 32.39 million (CNY southern adjacent landscaping land to build a new three-story Conservation and Tourism Services Improvement including cultural 220.2 million) exhibition building (with 6,800 m2 of floor space including one relics display and upgrade of Jingzhou Museum’s Treasures House. basement floor and two floors above ground, covering a land area of 2,130 m2) together with heritage display, rehabilitating the tourist Locationality, rationality and characteristics: The exhibition service center and tradition culture creation center (total floor space of building and supporting facilities will use the existing space to 4,000 m2), together with associated security and fire system display the history and culture of the Jingzhou ancient city by improvements, landscaping and digital interpretation services on the demolishing the old office building. The proposed new activity is Jingzhou Museum campus. located in the Jingzhou Museum, adjacent to Kaiyuanguan temple. It is located within the construction control zone of the city ancient wall. The height should not exceed four floors. The height of the building should be no more than 12 meters. The form should be designed based on the traditional local architecture and to protect the background environment of the city wall. Under the requirement of 12 meters of mouth height control, the architectural style of the exhibition building should be coordinated with the surrounding buildings. Main concerned environmental issues include: (i) when demolition of old office buildings and new construction of exhibition buildings in limited space in existing museum, the construction organization should be harmonized with daily activities of the museum to reduce interference and avoid negative impact on cultural relics and the environment. (ii) it is necessary to identify whether there is any asbestos risk existed in the demolition of the office building at 1,620 m2 before starting construction. and (iii) coordination with the surrounding buildings and landscapes in the existing museum. Main environmental sensitive receptors: buildings, cultural relics and landscapes in the museum, staff and visitors in the museum, and occupational health and safety of the construction workers.

Locationality, rationality and characteristics: It is surrounded the outer wall of the ancient city wall and is located in the protected area of the ancient city. The outer ring road of Jingzhou ancient city is adjacent to the ancient city wall. The total length is about 10.45km and the road width is 3.5m. The surface layer of the road is mainly concrete and imitation stone pavement. The damage is serious. The part of the Dongmen to Mingyuelou section is blue brick pavement. The Xinnanmen section is partially paved with pebbles, granite or cement pavement, etc. Slow traffic, safety and comfort are difficult to ensue with, and it is inconsistent with the solemn temperament of ancient city wall. The outer ring trail is an important part of the ancient city and plays an important role in the protection of the ancient city wall. In order to improve the safety of the outer ring of the ancient city, it is proposed to renovate the outer ring road, retain the existing intact bluestone and blue brick roads, and replace the remaining bluestone slabs with the same style as the ancient city, and set up small venues at appropriate locations to provide viewing and resting spaces. Main concerned environmental issues include the impact to the ancient city wall cultural relics, and the surrounding 4 Subprojects Brief of description of subproject Characteristics of the area that are of particular interest* (new, renovation, scale) (including rationales, brief introduction of baseline, location, characteristics, scale, extension, surrounding sensitive receptors) cultural relics and landscape, and etc. Main environmental sensitive receptors: buildings, cultural relics and landscapes around the ancient city wall.

There is a current drainage outlet (section B×H=2×3m) connected with the moat. North Lake is the largest lake in the ancient city. Due to the lack of sewage interception pipelines, the sewage is discharged directly into the lake, which causes the water quality of the lake deteriorated. It is currently inferior to the V category. The proposed new activity belongs to the urban area, and there are a large number of residents living around. Main environmental sensitive receptors: Acoustic and atmospheric environment: Jingzhou Cultural Relics Protection Center has about 60 staff, located on the small island in the lake. Beimen Community has about 500 households/1,500 people, in the southeast side and the south side at a distance of 15m, where the Category 2 standard of Acoustic Environmental Quality Standard (GB3096-2008) and the Class II Standard of Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095-2012) are applicable.

Environmental Impacts/Risks and Mitigation Measures General construction impacts and mitigation measures are included in Annex I applicable to all proposed new activities 1 to 4 which involve civil works. Activity specific potential environmental issues and impacts during the design, pre-construction, construction and operation phases, as identified in the EIA, as well as corresponding mitigation measures designed to minimize the impacts are summarized in Table 3-1. Mitigation or safeguard includes two types of environmental measures: Those that will permanently become part of the infrastructure such as lake embankment ecosystem. These will need to be included in the design of the facility by the design institutes, otherwise they won’t be built. The costs of building and maintaining these systems have already been included in the infrastructure construction and operating costs and therefore will not be double-counted as part of the EMP costs. Those that are temporary measures particularly during the construction stage, such as dust suppression by watering and wheel washing, the use of quiet / low noise powered mechanical equipment, flocculants used to facilitate sedimentation of suspended solids in construction site runoff, etc. These will need to be included in the tender documents, otherwise, they are not budgeted by the contractor and they won’t be done. The costs for implementing these measures are included in the EMP. This amount is made up of CNY4.35million for the implementation of soil erosion protection measures according to the SEPP (without double-counting the SEPP cost for vegetation/landscaping of permanent works areas, which have already been included in the civil works costs), and for other mitigation measures. The mitigation measures defined in the EMP will be (i) checked and where necessary re-designed by the design institutes; (ii) incorporated into tender documents (where appropriate), construction contracts, and operational management plans; and (iii) implemented by contractors, IAs or PMO, as relevant. The effectiveness of these measures will be evaluated based on the daily site supervisions by the CSCs, the results of the environmental monitoring conducted, and through EMP compliance verification conducted by the PMO, the loan implementation consultant and the EMC. 9 A Table 3- 1 Summary of Activity-specific Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Design and Pre-construction Stage Potential Impact and/or Implementin Supervising Source of Activity Issues Mitigation Measures g Entity Entity Funds Detailed Design Stage New Activity 1: Upgrade of Design to comply with Design buildings in compliance with relevant design standards and codes for Design PMO, Included in the Jingzhou Museum relevant applicable health, energy-efficient, safe and green public buildings, including but not limited to: Institutes implementing design costs safety and environmental GB 50011-2010 (Building Seismic Design Code); GB 50016-2006 (Code of agencies, the loan codes and standards, Design on Building Fire Protection and Prevention); GB 50189-2005 (Energy implementation including energy- efficient Conservation Design for Public Buildings); and other applicable design codes. consultant building codes and Ensure no-use of VOC-emitting materials (including paints, coatings, specifications. adhesives, carpet and furniture’s) to protect indoor air quality; Ensure no asbestos or asbestos- containing material is used in construction; Incorporate energy-efficiency measures defined the FSRs and EIA into building design.

Monitoring Plan External Monitoring 4.1 Overview The PMO have already engaged an external monitoring consultant (EMC), Hubei Academy of Environmental Sciences, for monitoring implementation of environment management plan (EMP). The EMC will periodically collect data from environmentally sensitive receptors (including water, air, noise, etc.). These indicator data will be provided to the PMO as basis for compliances of environment regulations. Formulation of a viable monitoring plan will be helpful for evaluating the overall performance of the project and the short-term effects of the construction activities. As an important component of the EMP, the environment monitoring plan consists of the following:  Confirmation of negative impacts forecasted in EIA;  Determining actual scopes of impacts;  Assessing the effectiveness of mitigation measures at project site; and  Identifying and adjusting additional mitigation measures for incidental impacts which may be necessary during project construction or operation. Importantly, this monitoring plan is designated mainly for the four proposed new activities, as part of the overall WB financed project, therefore, will be incorporated into the whole WB financed project environmental monitoring plan. 4.2 Impact monitoring In order to monitor the impacts during the construction phase, the EMC will conduct periodical environmental monitoring, during the peak of construction works or by request of the PMO, the EMC will also utilize portable devices to monitor short-term impacts. In case activities that had violated environmental quality standards have been found, it is also necessary to conduct additional impact monitoring. Sensitive receptors with potential for prominent pollution will be designated as the monitoring sites, based on forecast results from the project’s environmental impact assessment documents. The monitoring of pollution during the construction and operation stages will focus on aspects with relatively more significant impacts: noise, air, and surface water environment. The factors to be monitored will be determined based on the project’s characteristic pollution factors. For analysis methods, the relevant methods defined in Technical Specification for Environmental Monitoring issued by the former Administration of Environmental Protection (now the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of PRC). The evaluation standards nominated in the environmental impact assessment documents will be used. According to the engineering characteristics of the proposed project, a monitoring plan for the construction and operation stages have been designed, as in Table 4-1.

Visual inspection will be used for determining the water quality at rivers and lakes under impacts of construction, including turbidity, smell, color, dead fish, etc. The results will be compiled into formal written reports, submitted to EMC and PMO for review once per month. In case of any incidents, the contractors will report to EMC and PMO immediately. 4.3 Monitoring devices and records The monitoring devices and methods used by contractors and construction supervision engineers should comply with relevant regulations and quality standards. The devices should be periodically calibrated before on-site measurements. All calibration records will be submitted to the EMC. The EMC will preserve all on- site records, reports and related approval documents. If any necessary changes to devices or methods are to be made, the EMC’s prior approval will be needed. During the on-site monitoring and inspection, data recording should be conducted at possible locations. Table 4-2 has provided the records to be kept at each site’s EMC office. 17 A Table 4- 2 Typical records to be kept on-site Type Record Environmental training record (e.g. attendance record for environmental awareness training meetings); On-site log and inspection record; General Environmental work log, complaint work log, and environmental quality non-compliance notification form; Construction process and schedule; Equipment maintenance and repair record; Contacts of related parties and other parties; Meeting records.

All 30 A Time Participants Materials Questions and responses How to address (EMP, design) of Cultural Heritage Heritage on the construction of the Jingzhou City wall- those opinions have been strictly followed and top ring road and protection facilities within the scope incorporated into the project design. of Jingzhou City Wall Protection (Wenhan [2019] No. 520) In principle, it is agreed to rehabilitate plank roads, renovate management houses and build navigation system within the scope of Jingzhou city wall protection scope. The design still needs to be modified and improved as follows: (1) Supplementing cultural relics impact assessment on the key sections of the walking path and the boardwalks on the slopes of earth wall, and clarifying the impacts on the cultural relics and the landscape environment. It is recommended to reduce the number of boardwalks, use lightweight materials, and use existing ramps to renovate without changing the original shape of the cultural relics. Concrete cushions should not be used. (2) Strictly controlling the quantity and scale of facilities such as navigation, paying attention to the coordination of scale and color, and supplementing the buried structural design, and shall not cause damage to the cultural relics. Further demonstrating the necessity and feasibility of implementing night lighting systems. And it is not appropriate to arrange urban furniture on the city walls. (3) Reconstruction of existing management houses should be coordinated with the style of the city wall in terms of architectural shape and color. 31 A 8.3 Communication and sustainable public participation In the construction phase of the four new activities, the public communication and consultation is an ongoing work. The measures are shown below: (1) The signs should be set up in somewhere visible of construction sites, and the engineering information should be listed, including a brief description of the project, construction phase, main construction activities, the project manager's name and phone number, the chief engineer's name and phone number. And the public people are invited to provide their own management personnel in the area of interest. (2) The contractors are required to hold public meetings in the communities where the construction sites locate, at least once a year. At the meeting, the on-site management personnel explain the construction activities, and respond to the issues the public concern. (3) The project office should assign a full-time security staff to receive complaint of construction and operation from the public. The staff's names and contact numbers in project office should be notified to local public through pamphlets and public meeting. (4) The staff in the PMO/IAs and the contractor may visit the key environmental sensitive receptors occasionally, such as residential areas, to understand their concerns, and the feeling about the impact of the construction and operation. (5) In preparing of special construction activities with big influences, such as unavoidable construction at night, the contractors are required to visit the potentially impacted communities to explain their activities and the resulting impacts (such as security risk, high noise etc.), and listen to the public concerns. The appropriate and responsible measures should be taken to solve the public issues. I. GRM A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has been established as part of the project EMP to receive and manage any public environmental and/or social issues which may arise due to the four new activities. The PMO will ensure that potentially affected communities are informed about the GRM at an early stage of the four new activities. During the project preparation phase, the IAs, PMO and EPB have received training on the GRM. The PMO is the lead agency responsible for overall management, implementation, and reporting of the GRM. The PMO coordinates the GRM and (i) instructs the IAs and contractors on their responsibilities in the GRM (ii) establishes a simple registry system, to document and track grievances received (including forms to record complaints and how they have been resolved); and (iii) reports on progress of the GRM in the semi-annual environmental monitoring reports (EMR) to WB. Each IA will assign a member of staff, who is responsible for implementation of the GRM and other relevant aspects of the EMP. Tasks include keeping a record of complaints. At least two months before construction commences, these contacts will be disclosed to the public at each construction site and forwarded to local residents to ensure that entry points to the GRM are well known. The procedure and timeframe for the GRM is shown in Figure 9-1, and is summarized as follows. (i) Stage 1 (maximum 10 working days): Affected persons can submit a written or oral complaint to the contractors, CSCs or IAs. Complaints received by any other institutions will be referred back to the IAs for action. The IAs will notify the PMO for the complaint within two days. The PMO will enter the complaint in the Complaint Register. The contractor, in consultation with the IAs, attempts to resolve the issue directly with the affected person. Within five working days of receiving the complaint, the agency will provide clear advice to the affected person on the proposed corrective action and by when it will be taken. The corrective action will be implemented not later than 10 working days from receipt of the complaint. The PMO will enter the resolution in the Complaints Register. If quick corrective action is not possible, or the IAs is unsure how to proceed, or the complainant is not satisfied by the initial corrective action, then the complaint will be referred to the PMO for Stage 2. 32 A (ii) Stage 2 (maximum 5 working days): For complaints not resolved in Stage 1, Stage 2 is initiated. The PMO- ES, contractor, CSC and IA will meet with the affected person and together discuss the issue and identify possible solutions. At the meeting, a possible solution will be agreed upon. The contractor or IA, as appropriate, will implement the agreed solution and report the outcome to the PMO-ES. (iii) Stage 3 (maximum 10 working days): If Stage 2 is unsuccessful (i.e. no solution can be identified or the affected person is not satisfied with the proposed solution) the PMO-ES will convene a multi-stakeholder meeting and involve the project leading group to ensure that any needed inputs from other agencies are coordinated. The workshop will identify on the outcome provide to the PMO and WB.

J. Reporting 10.1 Reporting Submitting contractor project documents According to the tender documents, the contractor should compile an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prior to the commencement of construction. EMP should be submitted to the Construction Supervision Engineer (CSE) for review to ensure compliance with legislations and the already approved EIA and EMP. All changes to submitted files will be reviewed and approved by CSE representatives. Upon CSE’s approval, the EMP will also be submitted to EMC for review. Any additional suggestions by EMC will be passed to the contractor via CSE. The relevant documents will be regularly updated. 10.2 EMP All EMP inspection results and suggestions will be recorded in the regular (semiannual; annual) environmental management report prepared by the EMC. If necessary, the EMC will also prepare a simple monthly report, particularly when violation of contract occurs. The EMP progress reports will be submitted within two weeks after each report date. The first progress report will be submitted in the first month after construction starts. The regular (semiannual; annual) EMP progress reports should include at least the following: (a) Implementation overview (one or two pages) 1) Non-compliances of regulations: 2) Complaint records; 33 A 3) Report of changes; 4) Key issues in the future. (b) Basic project information 1) Project organization, including names and telephone numbers of key personnel; 2) Construction process; 3) Management structure; 4) Tasks to be done this season. (c) Environmental status 1) Illustrated explanation of tasks of the season (e.g. work locations and activities); 2) Illustration of locations of project area, sensitive spots and monitoring stations (d) Summary as required by EMP 1) All monitored parameters; 2) Suitability of the environment; 3) Environment evaluation report, and implementation status of mitigation measures recommended by the EMP; 4) Requirements of the environment provided by the contract. (e) Implementation status Protection and pollution prevention; suggestions of mitigation measures as recommended by evaluation report and EMP are provided in the summary. (f) Monitoring results Results and the following information 1) Methods; 2) Laboratory name, devices and calibration details; 3) Monitored parameters; 4) Monitored location (and depth) ; 5) Date, time, frequency and terms; 6) Weather condition during monitoring; 7) Other factors that may influence the results; 8) Quality assurance, quality control results, and limitations. (g) Reporting violations, complaints, notifications, etc. 1) All records of non-compliance in environmental quality performance; 2) All received complaints (oral or written), including location of receiving complaint, type, methods of survey or consultation, actions and follow-up, results and conclusion; 3) All activities in violation of local environmental protection legislations. (h) Others 1)Explanation on reviewing future key factors from work plans and work method declarations. 2)Suggestions on management of noise, air, water and solid wastes. Importantly, the reporting plan is designated mainly for the four proposed activities, as part of the overall WB financed project, therefore, will be incorporated into the whole WB financed project reporting plan. 10.3 Data preservation It is not required to incorporate on-site documentation, such as monitoring records, laboratory analysis reports, videos and images in the EMP progress reports submitted. However, such files should be kept by the 34 A PMO/IAs and CSE, and should be ready for submission at any time. All relevant information should be clearly and systematically recorded in the documentation. Electronic copies are required for monitoring data. All documents will be preserved during Construction phase, and be available to the PMO/IAs at any time within the year after project completion.

The WB safeguard policies requires that WB-funded projects apply pollution prevention and control technologies and health and safety measures that are consistent with international good practice, as reflected in international standards such as the IFC/World Bank Environmental, Health and Safety General Guidelines (2007). If national legislation differs from these standards, the borrower is required to achieve whichever is more stringent. However, the national procedure does provide clear description of handling ACM, therefore, the ACMMP follows the World Bank Guidelines. The main principles of the ACMMP are as follows: A. Prompt recognition of ACM; B. Prompt and effective action to contain and deal appropriately with the ACM (including safe management and disposal); and C. Maintaining the safety of site personnel and the general public at all times. The ACMMP is designed for use by the PMO and the IA (Jingzhou Cultural and Tourism Bureau) to manage the ACM risk over the New Activity 1: Upgrade of the Jingzhou Museum as a whole, and by contractors to deal efficiently with any ACM they or their workers encounter. The procedural element of the ACMMP is therefore designed to provide straightforward instructions that can be easily and quickly understood without the need for specialist knowledge and without referring to other sources. Protocol for Handling and Disposal of ACM at Demolishing Sites of the Existing Old Office Buildings under New Activity 1: Upgrade of the Jingzhou Museum Applicability The ACMMP applies to all construction sites and any related areas for demolishing of the existing old office buildings under New Activity 1: Upgrade of the Jingzhou Museum. Contractors employed by New Activity 1 are legally responsible for their construction sites and related areas and must follow the provisions of the ACMMP within those locations. Specifically this protocol must be used to ensure the safe handling, removal and disposal of any and all ACM from those areas. Immediate Action On discovering ACM on a construction site the contractor must: a) Stop all work within a 5 m radius of the ACM and evacuate all personnel from this area; b) Delimit the 5 m radius with secure fencing posts, warning tape and easily visible signs warning of the presence of asbestos; c) If the site is in an inhabited area, place a security guard at the edge of the site with instructions to keep the general public away; d) Notify the Construction Supervisors and arrange an immediate site inspection; also notify the IA(Jingzhou Cultural and Tourism Bureau). 57 The IA must: e) Notify the local EPB and Health Bureau. Important Note: The following will be ONLY applicable if any ACM is identified through the above procedures. Equipment To remove asbestos from a construction site, contractors must provide the following equipment: a) Warning tape, sturdy fence posts and warning notices; b) Shovels; c) Water supply and hose, fitted with a garden-type spray attachment; d) Bucket of water and rags; e) Sacks of clear, strong polythene that can be tied to close; f) Asbestos waste containers (empty, clean, sealable metal drums, clearly labelled as containing asbestos). Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) All personnel involved in handling ACM must wear the following equipment, provided by the contractor: a) Disposable overalls fitted with a hood; b) Boots without laces; c) New, strong rubber gloves; d) A respirator is not normally required if there are only a few pieces of ACM in a small area, and if the ACM is damp; e) In large or heavily contaminated areas, a disposable respirator is needed (not a dust mask) with an Assigned Protection Factor of 20 or more (e.g. a respirator with a P3 filter); f) There must be no smoking, eating or drinking on a site containing ACM. Decontamination Procedure 1: Removing small pieces of ACM a) Identify the location of all visible ACM and spray each lightly but thoroughly with water; b) Once the ACM is damp, pick up all visible ACM with shovels and place in a clear plastic bag; c) If ACM debris is partially buried in soil, remove it from the soil using a shovel and place it in the plastic bag; d) Insert a large label inside each plastic bag stating clearly that the contents contain asbestos and are dangerous to human health and must not be handled; e) Tie the plastic bags securely and place them into labelled asbestos waste containers (clean metal drums) and seal each drum; f) Soil that contained ACM debris must not be used for backfill and must instead be shoveled by hand into asbestos waste containers; g) At the end of the operation, clean all shovels and any other equipment with wet rags and place the rags into plastic disposal bags inside asbestos waste containers. Decontamination Procedure 2: Removing ACM-contaminated backfill a) If soil containing ACM debris has inadvertently been used for backfill this must be sprayed lightly with water and shoveled out by hand to a depth of 300 mm and placed directly into asbestos waste containers (i.e. not stored temporarily beside the trench); b) Any ACM uncovered during the hand shoveling must be placed in a clear plastic bag; 58 c) Once the trench has been re-excavated to 300 mm, if there is no visible ACM remaining, the trench may be refilled by excavator using imported clean topsoil. Decontamination Procedure 3: Removing Asbestos-Containing (AC) pipes or large pieces of ACM If AC pipes or other large pieces of ACM are uncovered during excavation in an undamaged condition and they can be re-covered by soil and left in place in the ground undisturbed, this should be done. If AC pipes or other large pieces of ACM need to be removed from site: a) Inform local hazardous waste disposal center approved by authority of the nature and size of the large ACM and arrange for them to handle, receive and bury the material; b) Sprinkle the ACM thoroughly with water, ensuring that any broken or damaged areas in particular are thoroughly wetted; c) Inform excavator and truck drivers of the dangers associated with ACM and instruct them to remain inside their cabs with the windows closed throughout the operation. d) Lift the material by excavator into a dump truck, without causing additional breakage and with as little disturbance as possible; e) Cover the bed of the truck with a secure tarpaulin and transport the ACM to the disposal site with as little disturbance of the carried material as possible; f) Manual assistance should be limited to securing the tarpaulin if possible, and personnel providing such assistance should wear PPE as indicated in Section E; g) At the disposal site, tip the ACM directly into the prepared cavity and arrange for it to be covered with soil immediately. Disposal ACM should be disposed of safely at a local hazardous-waste disposal site by local hazardous waste disposal center approved by authority.  The Contractor must arrange for the local hazardous waste disposal center approved by authority to collect the sealed asbestos waste containers as soon as possible and store them undisturbed at the disposal site.  At the end of construction contractors must arrange for the local hazardous waste disposal center approved by authority to bury all ACM containers in a separate, suitably-sized pit, covered with a layer of clay that is at least 250 mm deep. Personal Decontamination At the end of each day, all personnel involved in handling ACM must comply with the following decontamination procedure:  At the end of the decontamination operation, clean the boots thoroughly with damp rags;  Peel off the disposable overalls and plastic gloves so that they are inside-out and place them in a plastic sack with the rags used to clean the boots;  If a disposable respirator has been used, place that in the plastic sack, seal the sack and place it in an asbestos waste container;  All personnel should wash thoroughly before leaving the site, and the washing area must be cleaned with damp rags afterwards, which are placed in plastic sacks as above. Clearance and Checking-Off  The decontamination exercise must be supervised by site supervisors (engineering or environmental). 59  After successful completion of the decontamination and disposal, the Construction Supervisors should visually inspect the area and sign-off the operation if the site has been cleaned satisfactorily.  The contractor should send a copy of the completion notice to the IA, with photographs of the operation in progress and the site on completion. Training IA’s Environmental Specialist will conduct training on ACCMP implementation for Contractors staff and IA. The training will include a session focusing on ACM, which covered: a. Risks of contact with ACM (in general and the risk assessment); b. Responsibilities for dealing with ACM on construction sites; c. The ACMMP and the Protocol for site clean-up; d. Awareness-raising for the contractors’ workforce. Cost Estimate Costs incurred by contractors in implementing the ACMMP are included in their budget in EMP budget. 60
