Framework environmental management plan

3.2.1Demolition phase

Conditions for environmental placement and monitoring will be imposed as a result of carring out the activity and site arrangements

Environmental impact/issue	Mitigating measures	Institutional responsibility
Possible asbestos waste materials	Identify waste material containing asbestos Establish codes for the sorted waste, according to Decision 2000/532/EC establishing a list of wastes Employ a licensed waste operator to remove asbestos waste using appropriate safety equipment Dispose of asbestos waste at a landfill site licensed to receive such waste	Contractors
Inert demolition waste	Safely sort materials Establish codes for the sorted waste, according to Decision 2000/532/EC establishing a list of wastes Re-use/recycle waste, where possible Remove from site by licensed waste operator Dispose of waste to licensed inert landfill, according to the requirements of Decision 2003/33/EC establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills	Contractors
Other non-contaminated demolition waste	Safely sort materials Establish codes for the sorted waste, according to Decision 2000/532/EC establishing a list of wastes Re-use/recycle where possible Remove from site by licensed waste operator Dispose of waste in appropriate licensed landfills, according to the requirements of Decision 2003/33/EC establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills	Contractors
Contaminated demolition waste	Identify such waste Establish codes for the sorted waste, according to Decision 2000/532/EC establishing a list of wastes Safely separate or keep separate from other wastes Safe disposal either in licensed incinerator, or in a licensed landfill, after adequate treatment, according to the requirements of Decision 2003/33/EC establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills	Contractors
Obsolete electrical and electronic equipment	Identify any such equipment that may contain CFCs Separate and safe storage of CFC-containing equipment Safe removal/disposal of CFCs in accordance with waste management plan, to an operator licensed for waste collection or treatment	Contractors
	All other equipment: Separate collection Safe disposal / removal of remaining equipment and parts, according to the waste management plan, to an operator licensed for waste collection and treatment	Contractors
Equipment containing PCB/PCTs	Identify such equipment Safe removal from site by licensed waste operator Safe decontamination and disposal of equipment by licensed waste operator	Contractors
Dust	Protection of site proximity area by using board fencing or special materials against dust. Protection of soil surfaces Dust control by periodical water sprinkling or other means Keep construction site as isolated as possible from any functioning part of the hospital Control and daily cleaning of construction site	Contractors
Noise	Minimize noise likely to affect health of the people in the vicinity of the area affected by the construction works by: - restricting the time schedule of construction works - restricting the time schedule of deliveries and use of heavy equipment	Contractors
Water pollution	Protection of domestic waste water network Checking the existence of a pretreatment/treatment station of water collected from sectors likely to spill dangerous substances or substances with dangerous bacterial levels Special attention to be paid to drainage systems to avoid damage or uncontrolled dumping of demolition materials and to prevent groundwater contamination Proper control, collection and disposal of waste water to a treatment station according to the conditions set forth in the connection agreement and subscription agreement with public sewer service operator. Collection of any oils for proper treatment and disposal	Contractors
Aesthetic and landscape aspects	Maintain site in good working condition Ensure good security of site	Contractors
Health and safety	Ensure workers are properly equipped and trained Ensure good security of site	Contractors

Existing building elements (walls, foundations, ground cement slabs etc.) will be carefully demolished and the debris will be sorted and removed as directed by the EMP (to be determined during the preparation phase of the project). All valuable materials (doors, windows, sanitary fixtures, etc) will be carefully dismantled and transported to the storage area assigned for the purpose. Where feasible, valuable materials will be recycled within the project or sold, only if their assessment/checking exclude any chemical or bacteriological contamination.

Dust from transportation and handling of construction works will be minimized by water and other means such as enclosure of construction sites. To reduce noise, construction will be restricted during certain hours. All debris, construction and wood waste will be stored within the work site. Wood waste will be stored separately and prepared for recycling/ recovery or disposal (Attention! Painted or impregnated wood should only be incinerated, not burnt). Open burning and illegal dumping will not be permitted. Proper sites for earth/clay and sand disposal will be determined and prior approval from the relevant authority for disposal will be obtained (Attention! excavated soil, especially soil from medical units dealing with infectious diseases – TBC, AIDS, etc. – must also be examined and treated before being stored). Stock piling of construction debris on site will be avoided and waste will be disposed of on a regular basis, according to the Code, at the appropriate authorized landfill. Debris chutes will be provided to transfer debris from higher floors to the ground.
All wastes shall be managed by licensed waste operators and recovered or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. All wastes shall be disposed at appropriate licensed landfill sites or incinerators.
