The proposed scheme will consist of an Intake on the Allt an Dubh Choirein at OS grid reference NN 66215 15615. Approximately 4.3km of pipeline will be laid from the Intake to the Powerhouse which will be located in a field on the North West bank of the burn, at OS grid reference NN 69730 15780. The Scheme is a run-of-river type with the electricity which is generated being exported to the National Grid via a new grid connection. ‘The Scheme generally comprises the following, but not necessarily sequential, stages: ‘+ Construct site compounds and lay-down areas and other initial preparatory works; + Bring equipment onto site; ‘+ Main construction works; = Intake = Pipeline = Powerhouse - Outfall + Reinstate site, repair access roads and remove site compounds and lay-down areas. ‘The construction process will normally run over a period of 8-9 months, though much of the main construction operations would be achieved in a period of about 6 months. 2, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES All parties will operate within the environmental constraints identified in the Environmental Statement (ES), the Planning Conditions, CAR Licence Regulations and such other instructions as may be issued by any statutory body and approved by the Project Manager. ‘The following outlines the roles and responsibilities of all persons involved in the project. 2.1, Project Manager and CDM co-ordinator Responsibilities include liaison with client and designers during the design stage to ensure that all planning Conditions are met, having regard for the operating requirements of all items of the power generating and associated equipment, During construction, site visits scheduled according to specific project duties. Available to respond to requests fiom the Contractor for clarification of all relevant project details including resolution of uncertainty and amendment to specifications where circumstances deem such to be appropriate. Timings of site visits correlates with on-going activities. Site visits by the project's structural engineer will be timed to match progress with those works,DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME, Construction Method Statement The Project Manager will have overall responsibility for ensuring that the action of each party accords with their responsibilities and for implementing such corrective measures as may be needed. The CDM Coordinator - Appointed under Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007. Responsible for preparation of Pre-Construction information and the Health & Safety File. Gives advice on suitability of the Construction Phase Plan. Delivers Health & Safety File to client and will be carried out by the contractor. 2.2, Site Manager Responsible for ensuring that overall planning and coordination of information and site construction work including day-to-day running of site for quality and coordination comply with Terms of Contract. Frequent attendance on site until satisfied that works are proceeding to plan and that Contractor's CDM-related procedures are fully understood by all site personnel and being routinely practised. Organises timings of site visits by members of the Project Management Team according to state of progress of project work; responsible for receiving and circulating all site visit notes. Reports direct to Project Manager. 23, Archaeologist ‘An Archaeological survey has already been undertaken in the area. Areas of interest will be avoided. Any archaeological discovery made during construction will be reported to the Local Authority archaeologist. 2.4, Contractor The primary duty of the Contractor is to ensure that all Contract Conditions are adhered to, ie. that the works are carried out according to the specifications and drawings supplied therewith. Instructions issued by the Site Manager and, if necessary, by the Project Manager, Archaeologist acting through the Site Manager, will be actioned, also all statutory ‘duties such as for Health & Safety on site, maintaining site records and diaries including reports on site visits by the Project Manager and Archaeologist, also the display of Notices as per statutory regulations. 2.5. Environmental Clerk of Works (ECoW) The ECoW ensures adherence to all environmental-related recommendations in planning conditions, SEPA’s CAR licence and in statutory legislation, also policies specified in the ES which may not be embodied in those regulations. This will include monitoring disturbances to soils, vegetation and wildlife.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement The ECoW will ensure any ecological exclusion zones are set out prior to works commencing in that area and ensure they are maintained throughout the duration of the works. The ECoW will ensure the contractor is complying with any conditions laid out in the licence. The ECoW will be available to respond to calls from the Project Manager whether for routine or emergency duties. The ECoW will regularly inspect the contractor's daily records of environmental incidents and advise on the acceptability of the actions taken, 3. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS Prior to construction commencing, the Project Manager, Site Manager and Contractor's Site Manager will together record sensitive areas highlighted in either the statutory conditions and/or conditions ‘on the ground’, giving particular reference to the site operational issues also listed below: 1. The protection of all river-related works against inundation; 2, The protections of any areas of flush and seepage and the location of specified plant species and mitigation measures, 3. Should an active bird's nest of any bird species be found during construction w. must stop immediately in that area and the ECoW be consulted. An exclusion zone need to be erected until breeding is complete. Construction activity shall not resume without the prior approval of the ECoW. 4, The site-working exclusion periods collectively set out in the Conditions of Planning and CAR Licence will be adhered to. 5. River beds/banks will be restored and protected on install pipelines. ion of structures and 6. _ Excavated soils will be stored for no longer than 4 weeks and be done in accordance with good practice guidelines. 7. Contractor to be made aware of the possibility of otters being present on site. ECoW to ‘be contacted if any evidence of otters is observed. All open ended pipes and chambers to be covered over night. All stored pipework to be inspected regularly to ensure that ofters are not using it as a resting place. 8 All construction activities to be restricted to daylight hours only. 4, VISUAL IMPACT Parts of the Scheme will be visible from the surrounding area which includes Munros within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement ‘The scheme will have a minimal visual impact on the landscape for the following reasons: © The majority of the scheme-will be a pipeline which is buried underground. After construction and regeneration occurs there will be no visible sign that the pipeline exists. ‘© The intake structure is located in a remote area in the Glen, immediately downstream of a large bridge. * The powerhouse is located in an area where several agricultural buildings and cottages are located. It will not stand out as the only building in the area. Where possible existing access tracks will be utilised by construction traffic. The scheme is very small scale when compared with the natural landscape within which it sits. © The biggest visual impact willbe created when the scheme is under construction and this period will last less than nine months. $. POLLUTION CONTROL 5.1 Ensure that existing pattems of surface water run off and natural and man-made drainage are reinstated as soon as practicable and, where appropriate, barriers made from suitable excavated materials are placed along pipe trenches to prevent pipe bedding materials forming drains. Any silty water will be led into lined lagoons for settlement before release (ref. SEPA report WAT-SG-29, "Temporary Construction Methods"). 5.2 Silt traps will be installed at appropriate locations along the length of the access track. Silt traps will be regularly monitored, maintained and emptied. A supply of straw bales and silt fencing will be kept on site for immediate use. The contractor will regularly undertake visual checks of the watercourses and if any silt run off is, evident the source of the problem will be addressed immediately. 5.3 When pumping water directly onto vegetation, ¢.g., when de-watering a trench, censure that the outlet pipe is regularly moved in order to prevent saturating the ground. Do not pump onto field drains, and regularly check nearby watercourses downstream of pumping operation for signs of mobilised sediment which may be resulting from that activity. All pamped silt water shall be pumped to an area that shall be at least 10m away from the nearest watercourse. 5.4 Any concems expressed by representatives of the statutory bodies or the landowner will be reported in writing to the Site Manager (or Client) as soon as practicable. 5.5. Site access by vehicles and pedestrians will be via an existing track which leads from the end of the public road in Glen Artney to the bridge directly above the Intake site. The last section of this track, around 50m, will be resurfaced to provide access to the Intake, The Powerhouse/Construction Compound are access via existing access tracks in Glen Armey. :DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement 5.6 The importance of correct storage procedures for fuels, oils and chemicals will be stressed to all site personnel (SEPA's PPGs 2, 5 and 6). All fuels are to be stored in bunded tanks (110% of tanks’ max capacity) at least 10m from watercourses, The fuelling trigger must be located shut and locked when not in use and the sight gauge must have an automatic closing cut-off valve, The fuelling trigger, hose and sight gauge must be sited in the bund. All on-site vehicles will carry spillage mats, and.drip trays will be placed under all static items, e.g, pumps. Cement will be stored in waterproof conditions away from watercourses. 5.7 When working in watercourses, extreme care will be taken to prevent pollution, and the mobilisation of silt and sediment, both during construction of water intakes, outfall and crossing of watercourses. Specific procedures and precautions are given in Section $ below. 3.8 The Contractor will keep a diary (updated on a daily basis when possible), recording all activities associated with sediment/pollution control, this to inchude the weather and the installation, inspection and improvement of: updates of work progress; cevents/incidents; settlement pools/sediment traps; ‘sediment barriers/fences; cofferdams and bunds; access tracks, pipe trenches and watercourse crossings; cde-watering arrangements for sumps and pipe trenches. This diary will be kept in the site office and will be available for inspection. 5.9 It is the responsibility of the Site Manager and Contractor's Site Manager to formally brief all on-site personnel on the contents of the above and any task- spetific Method Statements, also to train personnel in the use of spill kits. These kits will accompany all on-site vehicles; spare kits will be stored at Compounds when used to service specific parts of the works, e.g., the intake structures. A company will support this commitment by providing professional services in the ‘event of a pollution incident of any sort. 6. CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES (ref SEPA WAT-SG-29) 6.1, General Procedures ‘The measures proposed for managing and constructing the main elements of the project are set out in this Section. These works will be carried out within the following framework: 6.1.1 The Contractor's Site Manager will inspect all working areas each working day to ensure that work is being carried out to plan, and that risks to the health and6.1.2 6.1.3 6.1.4 6.15 6.16 617 6.18 619 DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME ‘Construction Method Statement safety of the workforce, the general public and any other who may be affected are minimised, and that any foreseeable risks have been addressed and measures taken to reduce them. The Site Manager will review the Health and Safety Plan weekly to ensure it remains fully relevant and that all arrangements are being followed. The Contractor's Health and Safety Adviser shall inspect the site at least monthly, including scrutiny of all areas demanding safety and submit a written report to the Contractor's Site and Head Offices. The Contractor's Site Manager and the Site Manager will meet at least weekly to review all active and planned working procedures. ‘The Contractor's Site Manager will consult regularly with its site staff regarding implementation of the Contractor's Health and Safety Plan and report thereupon to the Client's CDM Coordinator who will carry out regular independent site visits. ‘Sub-contractors will only be appointed for specialist tasks, for example joinery and steel fixing. They will be managed by the Contractor and will work to the ssame site rules as apply to the Contractor's workforce. Clear warning signs and secure protection will be rigorously applied, this including areas which may be accessed by members of the general public, e.g., by walkers. No persons shall be permitted to enter an ‘active’ site without having been through a site induction. Site Manager will check signage and fencing after each working day, signage and welfare equipment to comply with CDM 2007 regulations. The local authority must be consulted on all necessary diversions, which must be properly signed for as long as they apply and must be to the same high standard. All construction plant and equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to statutory and manufacturers’ specifications. Any plant and machinery that will be operated within 10m of a watercourse will be checked for fuel and lubricant leaks prior to operating each day, and regularly throughout a working day. Any leaks shall be immediately fixed. Only competent and trained persons shall operate plant. ‘The Contractor shall ensure that all other authorised and mutually compatible estate operations shall be permitted to proceed in a safe manner. The outside storage of materials and equipment should be kept to a minimum. Any health and safety restrictions attached to such storage must be established ‘and recorded. The public and natural environment must be protected from any risk associated with such storage. All hazardous materials must be identified and evaluated by means of a COSHH assessment prior to being permitted on Risk assessments will be carried out for all high-risk activities and for dealing with materials covered by COSHH regulations.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement 6.1.10 Plant and machinery must only be refuelled on hardstanding/prefabricated ‘drip’ trays at recognised refuelling points that are located more than 10m from any watercourse. A spill kit will be stored here. Vehicles must be checked by drivers before use and secured afterwards. All vehicles will be checked for diesel and oil leaks before crossing burn. 6.1.11 No mobile concrete mixers shall cross a watercourse unless they are empty. Concrete mixers shall not be washed out on site. 6.1.12 All waste generated during site operations will be removed to an agreed temporary location and stored securely in appropriate containers. 6.1.13 The Site Manager will inspect weather forecasts and actual weather and ground conditions before and continue to monitor during excavations to make sure working conditions are safe. In the event of adverse weather, i.e. periods of heavy rainfall, the Site Manager will determine which if any active operations shall be permitted 10 continue. On-site movement involving use of fords will not be allowed at that time. 6.1.14 No river-related construction activities at the intakes, bum crossings and outfall will be attempted if high flows are present or imminent. 6.1.15 Materials and equipment transported on site must be securely restrained to ‘minimise the risk of shedding the load. 6.2. Intake Construction No construction plant will operate within the river other than from behind a cofferdam. ‘The construction plant required for the intake and weir comprises: Tractor and Trailer ‘Two Water Pumps with screened intakes Portable Concrete Mixer Generator 14 Tone Tracked Excavator 1 Rock Breaker Concrete Vibrator Power Tools, Miscellaneous ‘The construction process will comprise levelling off temporary Compound area and form suitable accesses for construction of weir and intake chamber. Temporary fences be ‘erected about Compounds when no operatives are present in order to exclude large animals. 6.2.1 Excavate Weir and intake leaving a separate temporary bypass to take all but the highest flows. Install temporary coffer dam formed with sand filled waterDUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement proofed bulk bags. Excavation in rock, therefore there will be no issues with sediment washing down stream. The site at the intake is all bedrock. 6.2.2 Install pump into pumping sump and discharge water into settlement pond and thence through straw bales into bum. All construction work will be carried out in the dry. 62.3. Lay blinding concrete, install stee! reinforcement in base at intake chamber then set up pipe work and valves. Shutter base and walls, pour concrete, strip shutters after concrete has hardened. 6.2.4 Lay blinding concrete and install reinforced part in base and walls of weir, shutter same then pour concrete into same and once concrete has hardened, strip shutters. 6.2.5. Install Coanda screens. 6.2.6 Construct reinforced concrete headwall. 6.2.7 Backfill round intake and weir grade banks to blend in with existing ground levels and erect stock round same. 6.2.8 Remove temporary coffer dam and allow water into intake over weir. 6.3. Pipeline Construction In view of possible delays due to bad weather, pipe laying could be carried out on more than ‘one front. ‘The plant required for pipeline construction per construction front comprises: 1 No. 360 tracked excavator, 20 tonnes with rotating screening bucket 1 No. 360 tracked excavator 13 tonnes Tractor/Trailer 1 No. track mounted mobile concrete mixer (could be shared between construction fronts). + Trench boxes for use in unstable ground + Pipes could be distributed to a ‘welding-area’ by tractor and trailer. ‘A construction corridor of approximately 10 metres will be required to safely undertake the ‘works. This will provide sufficient space to safely store excavated material and permit the machinery to operate safely. Where site constraints or environmental buffer zones prevail, short local sections can be constructed within a corridor of 4-6 meters. Parts of the pipeline are to be laid on steep slopes. The Contractor must assess the gradient of the slopes prior to construction work beginning. During the construction work they willDUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME. Construction Method Statement censure that suitable plant capable of working on the slopes is used by appropriately qualified and experienced operatives. ‘Temporary storage of topsoil and subsoil in heaps and stockpiles created after land stripping should be located as far as possible from any watercourse, They should be stabilised by geotextile or otherwise to ensure quick stabilisation as soon as practical after their formation. Cut off drains with silt traps shall be provided to intercept any run-off from the stockpiles. The upper pipeline length is rough hill pasture with occasional large boulders and it is anticipated that there may be some solid bedrock to be excavated. The lower length of the scheme consists of an existing track. The pipe laying procedure will be as follows: 6.4.1 The first leading machine will strip off surface vegetation and any topsoil from up to 200mm lengths and store these in separate, shallow piles to one side of the ‘working corridor; 64.2 Where the pipe route crosses natural drainage courses barriers made of natural material will be installed to maintain drainage natural route. 6.4.3 The first machine will then form a suitable trench to take the next pipe section, breaking out rock where necessary and placing excavated material to the other side of the trench; 6.4.4 The second machine will place pipe bedding material (this to meet pipe suppliers’ specification in the trench, using a screening bucket if 'as-dug’ material fulfils that requirements; 6.4.5 The first machine and support staff install that pipe section and the signal cable. 6.4.6 The second machine screens and places further backfill and compact it to close to surface level, then makes up with any topsoil and reinstates vegetation by ground support staff, 6.4.7 The first machine makes preparations to install the next pipe section. The average depth of excavation will vary according to local ground topography; a minimum cover of 900mm is desirable, with 1000 mm where future ground disturbance is possible. Field drains likely to be affected by the pipeline (none are expected) must be identified, where possible prior to excavating the pipe trench. During trenching activities, watercourses downstream of where field drains exit should be regularly checked for signs of mobilised sediment. 6.4, Powerhouse Construction ‘The Contractor is responsible for the security of the fending and erecting of all relevant HSE signage and welfare equipment in the Site Compound, in compliance with CDM 2007 Regulations.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement ‘The construction plant required for the powerhouse comprises: 14 tonne Tracked Excavator Rock breaker (if necessary) Mobile Concrete Mixer ‘Generator and power tools Suitable temporary fencing Site office, mess hut, portaloo, storage container ‘The construction process will be: 64.1 Establish suitably graded and surfaced access track from existing hard standing track to working area 6.4.2. Excavate soil and subsoil in powerhouse area, soil to be stored in accordance with good practice guidelines for re-use in landscaping. 6.5.3. Excavate key-way to resist lateral hydraulic thrust, also turbine sump. 6.5.4 Lay 75mm of blinding concrete in sump base. 6.5.5 Fix reinforcing steel to keyway and sump base, shutter/pour concrete, remove shutters. 6.5.6 Fix steel for sump walls, shutter, concrete to underside of floor slab, remove shutters. 6.5.7 Backfill around keyway and sump, compact and lay blinding concrete over floor 6.5.8 Supply and fix steel reinforcement for slab, shutter same and pour concrete floor in one operation, remove shutters. 6.5.9 Lay 100mm diameter. drain round floor slab and backfill with 40mm drain fill, drain to run to outfall duct. 6.5.10 To construct concrete block walls, facing south elevation with natural stone and other elevations rendered and painted to match intake buildings. 6.5.11 Supply and install lifting beams, ventilations, louvers and doors. 6.5.12 Construct timber roof joints, sarbin, felt and roof slates. 6.5.13 Landscape round building. 6.5.14 Install plant and machinery, cabling, control panel etc.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement 6.5, Outfall Construction ‘No construction plant will operate from within the burn. ‘The construction plant required for the outfall as per powerhouse, The construction process will be: 6.6.1 Lift vegetation and top soil and store in accordance with good practice guidelines. 6.6.2 Excavate lay blind and backfill 800 dia. plastic drainage pipe approx. 10m long backfill and reinstate same. 6.6.3 Excavate and construct base and walls in reinforced concrete of head walls (as previously described) working behind temporary cofferdam. 6.6.4 Fit 25mm galvanised screen to head wall. 6.6. Grid Connection High voltage cable will be laid underground from the new power house to the adjacent grid. 6.1.1 Check for both over ground and under services. 6.7.2 Lift vegetation and top soil and store in accordance with good practice guidelines. 6.7.3 Excavate 300mm wide trench 500mm deep and lay sand in same. 6.14 Cable is then laid either by the contractor or S.S.E. blinded with and marked with cable incoming tape. 6.1.5 Cable jointing done by S:S.E. and then backfilled and reinstated. 7. SEDIMENT CONTROLS (REF: SEPA WAT-SG-29) All sediment controls will be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they are effective. ‘The release of material to watercourses falls into two categories: + The short-duration of works on the intake and outfall structure works (all of which must as far as possible be geared to times of lower flows), means that the sediment control task in these areas is focused in time and space, and it can be contained by cofferdam or similar structure as detailed in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 above;DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement ‘+ The overland release of flows containing sediments to near-by watercourses. This will be concentrated at locations such as pipe trenches, access tracks and exposed soils. Where the access track runs close to the main burn it will be particularly important that effective sediment control measures are in place. Although upland watercourses are often relatively steep, the sites of intake and outfall structures are usually chosen to be where local bed gradients are mild. Once polluted runoff {gets into watercourses there is little or no chance of retaining it; burn flows/volumes are too large to divert streams to storage ponds, and velocities often too high for collection. procedures like straw bales to function efficiently, even if they can be made to survive intact. Measures to deal with construction (short-term) polluted runoff must therefore either be: + Diverted to suitably grassed and near-level (no risk of overland flow) settlement areas from where it can percolate into the water table; + Diverted into storage ponds (sediment traps); + Passed through multiple filter layers (e.g, straw/geotextile fences) clear of watercourses. As these flows are relatively gentle (compared with those in watercourses), each technique should be effective; choice depends on which is best suited to individual locations. 8 ACCESS 8.1, Vehicular Track Users Access to the site is by estate tracks from the end of the public road in Glen Artney. The estate tracks are only used by authorised vehicles as a gate with keypad exists at the end of the public road. Authorised vehicles on the tracks are: + Drummond Estates + Farming Tenants + Contractors authorised by Drummond Estates All users of the tracks will be made aware of the construction operations and closure periods by the Contractor prior to and during the works. 8.2. Access Tracks As part of the works access tracks will be upgraded. Drainage ditches will be provided at regular intervals along tracks to prevent large volumes of water flowing down them at times of high rainfall. Runoff will be channelled to water treatment areas (as detailed in Section 4.1) and prevented from flowing directly into watercourses. Access tracks must be regularly maintained to prevent the build-up of mud and formation of ruts. All watercourse crossings on the access tracks are existing. However, construction access for pipe laying will be via the pipe route. This route will be fully reinstated upon completion of the works.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement Smaller watercourses, c.g, upland bums, ditches and seepage areas not marked on the 50,000 scale OS map (hence CAR Registrations are not required) will be crossed by: + Installing temporary culverts. To maintain the natural flow regime, the soffits of pipes will be below stream bed level, and the diameter (or sum thereof if more than one) should not be less than the width of the watercourse. + It is envisaged that the majority of the work will be accessed from the existing track, extended laterally where necessary. Permanent access tracks will be restored to their original condition upon completion of the works, Temporary access tracks will be removed and the surrounding ground reinstated upon completion. 8.3, Footpaths Footpaths run through the construction area. These will be kept open during the works with ignage to direct walkers on diversion routes being provided by Drummond Estates. Any disruption or damage to the paths will be repaired by the Contractor upon completion of the works. 9. WASTE 9.1. Suitably marked and secured containers will be situated on site for the storage of waste. These materials must be transported by the Contractor on a regular basis to covered skip in his Compound. The Contractor is responsible for making arrangements for the proper servicing of port-a-loos. It is not anticipated that any hazardous materials will enter-the site but SEPA will be consulted should this situation change. Waste will not be burned or buried on site - ref SEPA PPG6 Section 7; 9.2. Waste produced and stored on site must be kept safe and secure in a designated area; 9.3. The Contractor must identify waste on the site which will require to be registered with SEPA as an exempt activity; 9.4, Waste must be stored in such a manner as to prevent its escape or scavenging by vandals, thieves, trespassers or children; 9.5, Waste may only be carried by a person either registered with SEPA as a carrier of controlled waste or who is exempt from holding such registration; 9.6, When waste is transported from one person to another a "Transfer Note” must be completed. This note contains information about the waste and about the parties involved in the transfer;DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement 9.7 Transfer Notes must be kept for two years and available to SEPA officers on request; 98. The Contractor must identify wastes hazardous to human health or the environment. In these cases a "Consignment Note" (which can be purchased from SEPA) must accompany the movement of waste; + Contact the Site Manager and SEPA immediately, also the pollution incident support ‘company if appropriate. Measures available on site at all times shall include the following and shall be held in the Contractor's Site Office and also as appropriate on individual items of manned construction plant when operating within the site. Stocks of any items used will be replenished immediately. + Spill kits - ten held in Site Office, one per site vehicle; + Booms - three held in Site Office; + Silt retaining devices including fences and straw bales - held in store adjacent to Site Office. All site staff shall be instructed in the use of all items of safety equipment upon first arrival on site and shall be required to attend ‘refresher’ courses at.not more than monthly intervals, thereafter. Induction and further instruction shall cover the use of all emergency-related equipment, including recovery from incidents. Recovery involves dealing with the residue of ‘spillage’, whether this be of chemicals including fuels or of sediments. All site staff shall be instructed in the procedures. to be followed in dealing with residues according to the arrangements made by KN, Services for safe disposal according to pollutant. ‘The Contractor's Site Manager shall have overall responsibility for ensuring that all ‘emergency procedures are understood by all site staff and sub-contractors and carried through ‘as specified, and that all preparations for and reports of any incidents are fully documented ‘and reported to the Site Manager. The Contractor's Site Manager shall ensure that the Site Manager is fully briefed regarding the arrangements which have been made, including making available current inventories of all safety-related equipment held on site including its whereabouts at any time.DUBH CHOIREIN HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME Construction Method Statement 10.
