carried out from underneath. Where this is not possible the use of a MEWP
will allow work to be carried out without the need to stand on the roof.
h. If access onto the roof cannot be avoided, edge protection is to be installed
and staging should be used to spread the load.
i. Fragile materials are to be covered or barriers installed with signs displayed
to prevent access.

to prevent run off.
e. Water sprinkling to be provided at any time that it is required for dust control
use.
f. Dust control activities shall continue even during work stoppages.
At Construction Site
a. The Contractor shall under Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981
obtain Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) from the
Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board for establishing the Batching Plant
and for construction of Viaduct along the project alignment.
b. Water to be sprayed at construction sites as required to suppress dust, during
handling of excavation soil or debris or during demolition.
c. Effective water sprays shall be used during the delivery and handling of all
raw sand and aggregate and other similar materials, when dust is likely to be
created and to dampen all stored materials during dry and windy weather.
d. Areas within the site such as construction Depots and Batching Plants, where
there is a regular movement of vehicles shall have an approved hard surface
that is kept clear of loose surface material.
e. Unless the Engineer has given consent otherwise, all motorized vehicles on
the Site to be restricted to a maximum speed of 15 kilometres per hour and
confine haulage and delivery vehicles to the designated roadways inside the
site.
f. At the Batching plant the following additional conditions shall be complied
with:
• Prevention of dust nuisance at all times as a result of the construction
activities.
• Concrete Batching plant and Crushing plant sites and ancillary areas to
be frequently watered to minimise any dust emission.
g. Hoardings to be arranged securely around all construction work sites during
the main construction activity, to contain dust within the site area and also to
reduce air turbulence caused by passing traffic. The hoarding shall be safely
secured to the ground to prevent from toppling with minimum gap between
the base of hoarding and ground surface.
During Drilling and Blasting
a. Water spray should be used to control dust during breaking of rock/concrete.
b. During blasting operations, appropriate precautions should be taken to
minimise dust such as the use of blast nets, canvas covers and watering.
c. Wire mesh made of heavy-duty tyres or sand bags should be used over blast
area on each shot to prevent flying rock and reduce dust.

rock to be blasted but also the location of blasting.
e. Due preference to be given to explosives with better environmental
characteristics.
f. Vibration shall be monitored during blasting and values shall not exceed the
standards.
18.3 Containment of water Pollution
a. Temporary open storage of excavated materials proposed to be used for
backfill on site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during rainy
season or at any time of the year when rainstorms are likely. Washout of
construction or excavated materials should be diverted to drainage system
through appropriate sediment traps.
b. Polymer slurries or other grouts used in diaphragm wall construction piling
and other concrete works should be collected in a separate slurry collection
system. If reuse is not practicable then it should be disposed of at nearest
landfill site after obtaining permission from agency owning the landfill and
under the conditions imposed by the agency concerned.
c. Wastewater arising from site offices, canteens or toilet facilities constructed
at site are to be discharged or directed into sewers after obtaining prior
approval of agency controlling the system.
d. Oil separator/interceptors shall be provided at Batching Plant and
construction Depot location for vehicle maintenance to prevent the release of
oils and grease into the drainage system. These shall be cleaned on a regular
basis.
e. A Spill Prevention and Control Procedure shall be prepared to identify project
components such as storage areas, storage tanks that could allow discharge
of oil grease or hazardous materials to the drainage system or ultimately in
any water body during spillage.
f. Surface run-off from construction Depots and Batching Plants should be
discharged into storm drains via adequately designed sand/silt removal
facilities such as sand traps silt traps or sediment basins.
g. Construction works should be programmed to minimize soil excavation works
in rainy seasons (July to September). If excavation in soil could not be
avoided in these months or at any time of year when rains are likely, for the
purpose of preventing soil erosion, temporarily exposed slope surfaces
should be covered e.g. by tarpaulin, and temporary access roads should be
protected by crushed stone or gravel, as excavation proceeds. Arrangement
should always be in place to ensure that adequate surface protection
measures can be safely carried out well before the arrival of rains.
h. Measures should be taken to minimize the ingress of rainwater into trenches.
If excavation of trenches in wet seasons is necessary, they should be dug
and backfilled in short sections. Rainwater pumped out from trenches or
foundation excavation should be discharged into storm drains via silt removal
facilities.
i. Open stockpiles of construction materials (e.g. aggregates, sand and fill
material) on sites should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during
rainstorms. Measures should be taken to prevent the washing away of
construction materials, soil, silt or debris into any drainage system.
j. Manholes should always be adequately covered and temporarily sealed so
as to prevent silt, construction materials or debris from getting into the
drainage system, and to prevent storm run-off from getting into sewers.
Discharge of surface run-off into sewers must always be prevented in order
not to unduly overload the sewerage system.
k. Groundwater pumped out of wells, etc. for the lowering of ground water level
in basement of foundation construction, and groundwater seepage pumped
out of tunnels under construction should be discharged into storm drains after
the removal of silt in silt removal facilities.
l. Wastewater from Concrete Batching & Precast Concrete Casting and that
generated from the washing down of mixer trucks and drum mixers and
similar equipment should wherever practicable be recycled. The discharge of
wastewater should be kept to a minimum.
m. The section of construction road between the wheel washing bay and the
public road should be paved to reduce vehicle tracking of soil and to prevent
site run-off from entering public road drains.
n. Surface run-off should be segregated from the concrete batching plant and
casting yard area as much as possible and diverted to the storm water
drainage system. Surface run-off contaminated by materials in a concrete
batching plant or casting yard should be adequately treated before disposal
into storm water drains.
18.4 Containment of Noise and Vibration
18.4.1 Noise
a. Construction of facilities and structures would require the use of equipment,
which may generate high noise levels and adversely affect noise sensitive
receivers.
b. In assessing the impact of construction noise and hence its containment, the
nature and level of activities that generate noise, the pathway through which
noise travels, the sensitivity of the receptor, and the period of exposure should
be considered.
c. Environmental noise is measured in decibels (dB). To better approximate the
range of sensitivity of the human ear to sounds of different frequencies, the
A-weighted decibel scale (dBA) was devised. As the human ear is less
sensitive to low frequency sounds, the A-scale de-emphasizes these
frequencies by incorporating frequency weighting of the sound signal. When
the A-scale is used, the decibel levels are represented by dBA.
d. On this scale, the range of human hearing extends from about 3 dB(A) to
about 140 dB(A). A 10-dB(A) increase is judged by most people as a doubling
of the sound level.
e. To the extent required to meet the noise limits reasonable efforts to be made
to include noise reduction measures listed below to minimize construction
noise emission levels. Noise reduction measures – include, but not limited to
the following:
I. Minimize the use of impact devices, such as jackhammers, and
pavement breakers.
II. Where possible, use concrete crushers or pavement saws for tasks
such as concrete deck removal and retaining wall demolition.
III. Equip noise producing equipment such as jackhammers and
pavement breakers with acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds
recommended by the manufacturers thereof, to meet relevant noise
limitations.
IV. Pneumatic impact tools and equipment used at the construction site
shall have intake and exhaust mufflers recommended by the
manufacturers thereof, to meet relevant noise limitations.
V. Provide mufflers or shield panelling for other equipment, including
internal combustion engines, recommended by manufacturers
thereof.
VI. Employ prefabricated structures instead of assembling on-site.
VII. Use construction equipment manufactured or modified to dampen
noise and vibration emissions, such as:
i. Use electric instead of diesel-powered equipment.
ii. Use hydraulic tools instead of pneumatic impact tools.
f. Maximize physical separation, as far as practicable, between noise
generators and noise receptors. Separation includes following measures:
i. Provide enclosures for stationary items of equipment and barriers
around particularly noisy areas on site.
ii. Locating stationary equipment so as to minimize noise and vibration
impact on community.
g. To the extent feasible, configure the construction site in a manner that keeps
noisier equipment and activities as far away as possible from noise sensitive
locations and nearby buildings. Plant and equipment known to emit noise
strongly in one direction should where possible, be oriented in a direction
away from noise sensitive receptor and reduce the number of plant and
equipment operating in critical areas close to noise sensitive receptors.
h. Scheduling truck loading, unloading, and hauling operations so as to minimize
noise impact near noise sensitive locations and surrounding communities.

r. Although the table gives one level for each piece of equipment, it should be
noted that there is a considerable variation in reported ground vibration levels
from construction activities. The data provide a reasonable estimate for a wide
range of soil conditions
s. Construction vibration should be assessed in cases where there is a
significant potential for impact from construction activities
t. Such activities include blasting, pile driving, demolition and drilling or
excavation in close proximity to sensitive structures

odour, pest and litter impacts.
d. Office waste can be reduced through recycling of paper if volumes are large
enough to warrant collection.
18.5.2 Construction Waste
a. Construction waste would mainly arise from the project construction activities
and from the demolition of existing structures where necessitated. It includes
unwanted materials generated during construction, rejected structures and
materials, materials that have been over-ordered and materials, which have
been used and discarded such as:
i. Material and equipment wrapping packaging material
ii. Unusable/surplus concrete/grouting mixes
iii. Damaged/contaminated/surplus construction materials; and
iv. Wood from formwork and false work.
b. Also, demolition of buildings and houses to accommodate station buildings
and construction depots will generate concrete rubble, plastics, metal, glass,
asphalt from surfaces, wood and refuse.
c. Waste from excavation would comprise soil, rubble, sand, rock, brick etc.,
majority of which may be used for filling purpose.
d. Prior approval to be obtained from concerned Local Authorities for identifying
suitable sites for disposal of Muck/Debris. Engineer may assist if necessary,
in coordinating with Local Authorities/ concerned Govt. Departments in
identifying the disposal locations.
e. The Muck / Debris to be disposed only at the identified, designated disposal
sites.
f. It has to be ensured that the disposal sites identified are away from residential
areas and do not require any kind of displacement.
g. The transfer and disposal of surplus soil may create air pollution. It needs to
be ensured that the routing to the site does not pass through busy traffic
areas, educational institutions, Hospitals, Office areas, Market areas etc.
h. The timing of muck is also an important factor and it is preferred that the muck
/debris are transported and disposed during the night hours.
i. Mechanized/Manual wheel washing facility shall be arranged at each site.
Wheel washing of all waste transporting vehicles shall be done before exiting
the site.
j. Proper arrangements to be made within site for temporary storage of muck
and for drying the same before loading onto the trucks for transporting to
disposal facility.
k. Areas for temporary shaded storage of debris shall be specified and arranged
within the site. Heaps of storage of debris shall be avoided at site and it should
not be visible from outside. Debris should not be stored for a longer duration,
it shall be disposed as early as possible, if not on daily basis by the contractor.
l. Certain measure such as maintaining cleanliness at disposal sites, controlling
the height from which soil is dropped, stockpiling of muck with suitable slope
in the designated locations, availability of water and personnel at all times at
dumping sites to minimise dust suppression, availability of necessary
equipment for filling of muck in dumping site in layers and for mechanically
compaction etc., are to be ensured.
m. In case of identifying or noticing any physical change in the muck during
excavation, it will be required to test the soil quality including heavy metals. If
the soil is contaminated, the portion of the contaminated muck is to be isolated
and brought to the notice of Engineer for necessary actions / instructions for
safe disposal.
n. Debris shall not be mixed with muck at any cost, separate storage area within
site shall be ensured.
o. Suitable inert Construction and Demolition (C & D) Waste (Debris) should be
recycled or reused wherever possible. Where waste generation is
unavoidable then the potential for recycling or reuse should be explored.
p. Only the authorised waste collectors to be allowed to collect the specific
category of waste and transport the wastes to the appropriate disposal points.
q. It has to ensured that appropriate measures are employed to minimise
windblown litter and dust during transportation of wastes by either covering
the trucks or transporting wastes in enclosed containers.
18.5.3 Chemical Waste
a. Chemical waste is likely to be generated by construction activities. For those
processes, which generate chemical waste, it may be possible to find
alternatives, which generate reduced quantities or even no chemical waste,
or less dangerous types of chemical waste.
b. Containers used for the storage of chemical waste should:
i. be suitable for the substances they are holding, resistant to corrosion,
maintained in good condition, and securely closed.
ii. be of adequate capacity and display a label in English and Hindi as to
the contents, quantity and safe method of disposal in accordance with
instructions contained in Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS.

110% of the volume of the largest container or 20% by volume of the
a. Some good quality reusable topsoil is expected from site clearance works.
This can be locally stockpiled and used later in final landscaping works, thus
saving on costs for such works and transportation and environmental impacts
of disposal.
b. The design of formwork should maximise use of wooden panels so that high
reuse levels can be achieved. Alternatives such as steel formwork should be
considered to increase the potential for reuse.
c. Construction waste should be recycled as much as possible on-site. Proper
segregation of waste types on site will increase the feasibility of certain
components of the waste stream by recycling contractors.
d. Excavated materials are usually inert such as soil and rock, and can normally
be reused on site or in public filling areas. The excavated material may have
to be temporarily stockpiled on-site for subsequent re-use.
e. Steel and other metals should be recovered from the construction waste and
recycled as far as practical. If possible, scrap steel mills can use steel bars.

neighbourhood, the contractor will provide either alternative sucrose of power
or provide a solution that is acceptable to the Engineer. This may include but
not limited to providing appropriate cladding for the stack.
23 Archaeological and Historic Resources
a. During the construction period, archaeological or historic resources may
potentially be affected by direct or indirect construction activity. The project
construction activity potentially requiring measures for protecting
archaeological or historic resources to be initiated with prior approval of the
Employer.
b. Prior to the initiation of construction, MPMRCL intends to review a resource
protection plan for historic structures where it appears, they may be affected
by the project. This plan will be developed by the Project Partners in
consultation with The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

Control Board, New Delhi, 18th November 2009 to be adopted and followed
by the Contractor for the methods of measurement, Limits (Concentration in
Ambient Air) for PM10 and PM2.5 or any other air pollutant as may be required
by the Employer’s Representative etc., for the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring.
m. Where the Employer’s Representative determines that the recorded
particulate matter – PM10 and/or PM2.5 level is significantly greater than the
Limit levels, the Employer’s Representative may direct the Contractor to take
effective remedial measures including, but not limited to, reviewing dust
sources and modifying working procedures.
n. Where the recorded baseline levels exceed the ambient air quality standards,
then at such locations the limit level is the recorded base line. Contractor shall
take all effective remedial measures to contain the levels to their baseline
value as a result of his activities.
o. The Contractor should inform Employer’s Representative of all steps taken to
investigate cause of non-conformance and immediate action taken to avoid
further occurrences through written reports and proposals for action.
24.3 Noise and Vibration
a. The activities which are expected to cause noise during the construction
include noise from construction equipment, activities such as portal
construction, earthwork excavation, concreting, removal of spoil, movement
of construction vehicles & delivery vehicles travelling to and from the
construction and disposal sites etc.
b. The level of impact of these noise sources depends upon the noise
characteristics of the equipment and activities involved in the construction
schedule, and the distance from noise sensitive receptors.
c. The Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) prepared by the
Contractor shall establish procedures to monitor construction noise and
determine when to apply measures to control noise pollution due to
construction activities at works site.
d. The CEMP will provide site description, define acceptable noise monitoring
equipment, provide monitoring locations and operating procedures for noise
equipment and indicate reports and record keeping on noise monitoring data.
e. The Employer’s Representative shall monitor Contractor’s performance of
tasks specified, and will inspect necessary records, report and procedures
related to the control of noise.
f. Noise monitoring shall be carried out at noise sensitive receptor locations
within 200 feet of the construction site once each fortnight and Construction

Notes:
1. No exposure in excess of 115 dBA is to be permitted.
2. For any period of exposure falling in between any figure and the next higher
or lower figure as indicated in column (1), the permissible sound pressure
level is to be determined by extrapolation on a proportionate basis.
y. When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise
exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered,
rather than the individual effect of each. Exposure to different levels for
various periods of time shall be computed according to the formula as given
below.
Fe = (T1/L1) +(T2/T2) +…+(Tn/Ln) where,
Fe= the equivalent nose exposure factor.
T= the period of noise exposure at any essentially constant level.
L = the duration of the permissible noise exposure at the constant level (from
Table)
If the value of f exceeds unity (1) the exposure exceeds permissible levels.
z. A sample computation showing an application of the above formula is as
follows. An employee is exposed at these levels of these periods:
110 dB(A) 1/4 hour.
100 dB(A) 1/2 hour.
90 dB(A) 11/2 hours.
Then,
When Diesel Generator (DG) Sets are used for operation of equipment and
machinery, then Ministry of Environment and Forest notification dated 17th May
2002, issued under Environment Protection Act (Protection) Rules, 1986, on noise
limits shall apply.
