The physical activities that will be carried out on site are listed below:
Is this Activity planned for
Activity this Site?
Each activity is reviewed in the table in Section 1.5 to identify potential environmental
impacts on each environmental aspect.
1.2 Environmental Impacts from Each Activity
These control measures will be implemented by NSE as required during the relevant
activities.
The control measures listed here do not replace the mandatory requirements in EMR.
An activity will not proceed if the environmental mitigation measures in Section 1.5
do not eliminate or sufficiently reduce the environmental impact of that activity.

Waste Minimization
Identify opportunities for “cut and fill” operations within the project, to reduce clean fill being
disposed of at landfill. Another contractor/ developer may require additional fill generated from a
specific activity on site;
Materials will be purchased in the exact quantity required for the contract, to minimize unused leftovers;
Materials that with minimal packaging will be purchased, to minimize packaging thrown out; and
Concrete will be mixed according to exact requirements, to minimize excess requiring disposal.
Waste will be stored in containers or skip bins, and not stockpiled directly on unsealed ground;
Recycling waste will be stored in separated areas or containers, and not mixed with other waste
types;
Sufficient space will be allocated for waste collection vehicles;
Waste removal from the site will be scheduled so that there is always a waste skip available for use
on site, and that waste skips/ container do not overfill;
Waste will only be collected by DM-approved waste transporters;
Food waste bins will have lids, and litter waste bins will available for staff;
Any temporary waste storage areas (not contained in bins or containers) will be covered and/or
surround by a screen mesh fence to prevent it being wind-blown across the site and into waterways
and adjacent property; and
Liquid wastes including waste oil and liquid chemicals will be stored in sealed drums/ containers,
on a concrete surface.
CLIENT CONSULTANT CONTRACTOR
Waste Disposal
Empty pesticide and fertilizer containers will be disposed of using the “triple-rinse” procedure, and
punctured before being placed in with general waste; and
All waste will be taken to DM-approved facilities, according to type (general/ hazardous).
Record Keeping
All waste removal records will be maintained, and reported as required in the monthly
environmental performance report;
Records that will be kept include: receipts/ invoices/ dockets from the waste transport contractor
and the waste receiving facility; and
These records will be kept in a Waste Register, which records collection dates, type of waste,
quantities, waste transport company, destination, and signature of an authorized person.
All equipment, generators, machinery and vehicles used on site will be maintained in good working
condition at all times to ensure minimal fuel consumption and smoky exhausts. This applies to
buses used for transporting labourers to site, as well as earthmoving equipment and other vehicles;
Unsealed roads and work areas will be sealed as required, to control dust;
An adequate water supply will be provided for dust suppression during earthworks;
Truck hauling fill or other dusty materials will be covered, and loads will be kept 0.3 metres below
the top of the truck walls, with a sheet or tarpaulin to control dust;
Asbestos-containing materials will be stored, handled and disposed of in a way that prevents
release of asbestos dust/ fibers to the atmosphere, or contaminates other waste;
Vehicle speeds will be minimize to control dust generation;
Stockpiles will be managed to minimize dust generation;
Painting, abrasive blasting, metal cutting, grinding or welding will be done within an enclosed and
ventilated area wherever possible, to limit overspray or the discharge of volatile substances, fumes
and dust/grit suspension into the atmosphere;
Diesel, oil, paint, thinners and other chemicals used on the site will be kept in minimum quantities
and stored in sealed containers and in a manner that limits vapours, and in accordance with any
safety requirements; and
Dry cement powder will be kept in sealed bags or containers to prevent dust generation.

Dubai Municipality Standard or Regulation Reference: Code of Construction Safety Practice, Chapter-3
Occupational Health and Environmental Control: 3.11.
Description: This table outlines the allowable noise levels in various areas within the jurisdiction of Dubai
Municipality. The noise limits specified in this table are in compliance with the regulations set forth in DM.
These limits are subject to periodic review and may be amended to address changing environmental and urban
conditions.
The specific allowable noise levels, the categories of areas (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial), and the
time frames during which different noise levels are permitted (daytime vs. nighttime) are typically included in
the referenced Dubai Municipality standard or regulation. Therefore, it's essential to access the official
documentation or contact Dubai Municipality directly to obtain the most accurate and current information
regarding noise level limits in different area.

When work is conducted near identified heritage items, the items will be clearly marked with
temporary flagging or fencing prior to the commencement of works;
CLIENT CONSULTANT CONTRACTOR
When work is conducted near identified heritage items, an exclusion zone will be created around
the items to prevent damage by excavation, vehicle movement and vibration, resulting from
vehicles and equipment;
The possible or confirmed existence of heritage objects or places, and the responsibility to report
any suspected heritage discoveries, will be communicated to all staff including machinery
operators;
The discovery of any potential heritage items will be reported through the supervisor, to the Project
Management Team and DM’s Environmental Representative or DM Environment Department for
further instructions; and
It is noted that potential heritage items or relics can include:
Evidence of historical occupation (such as aged building remains), fishing or pearling artefacts,
ship wrecks, pottery, flint and other tools;
Evidence of early industrial heritage;
Articles of religious heritage value; and
Items or places of importance to the early Bedouin peoples.
Discharge from dewatering will be done in accordance with an approval from DM Environment
Department, to prevent excessive sediment discharge or erosion from discharge;
Concrete batching and washout of concrete mixing equipment will be controlled to prevent the
potential release of sediment into waterways;
All soils and loose sediments will be protected from wind and water erosion;
Sediment will be contained within the site boundaries during rain storms and prevented from
escaping into lakes, drains and the sea;
Sediment will be prevented from being carried on the wheels or underside of vehicles and
equipment onto sealed roads when they exit the site; and
Surface grading will be carried out as part of demobilization to prevent concentrated surface runoff
or storm water flows.
Vehicles used on site will be well maintained to ensure efficient fuel consumption, and minimal
emission of air pollutants and noise;
No parking of any vehicles will be permitted over underground sewage holdings tanks. Adequate
space for parking of sewage pump-out trucks (tankers) will be allocated adjacent to, but not directly
over, underground sewage holding tanks;

has been endorsed by the Project Management Team;
Vehicles will only travel on designated roads, to limit dust generation near residents and
unnecessary disturbance of plants and animals;
Entry and exit points from the work area will be clearly designated, and fencing or other traffic
barriers will be put in place, to limit uncontrolled movement of traffic over undisturbed land;
Cement mixer trucks delivering cement/concrete to site will not be permitted to wash-out on site at
all; instead they must return to the concrete batching plant for wash-out;
