Camilty Wind Farm - Partnerships for Renewables

Camilty Wind Farm
110% of the fuel tank. Where practicable, refuelling of vehicles and machinery will be
carried out in one or potentially two designated areas, on an impermeable surface,
and well away from any watercourse. Drip trays will also be used during refuelling and
spill kits will be stored in vehicles on site, at designated refuelling areas and where
chemicals are stored. Site staff will be trained in their use.
• Maintenance: where vehicles or plant require maintenance, this will be undertaken in
a designated area within the construction compound where reasonably practicable,
unless vehicles have broken down necessitating maintenance at the point of
breakdown, where special precautions will be taken.
• Welfare Facilities: on-site welfare facilities will be adequately designed and
maintained to ensure that all wastewater and sewage is disposed of appropriately.
This may take the form of an on-site septic tank with soakaway, or offsite disposal
depending on the suitability of the site for a soakaway and prior agreement with
SEPA.
• Cement and Concrete: fresh concrete and cement are very alkaline and corrosive,
and can be lethal to aquatic life. The use of wet concrete in and around watercourses
will be avoided or, where essential, carefully controlled by provision of an agreed
construction method statement prior to construction.
• Contingency Plans: will ensure that emergency equipment will be available on-site i.e.
spill kits and absorbent materials, addition pumps, information on where and from
whom to seek advice, and who should be informed in the event of a pollution incident.
• Inspections – All mitigation measures put in place, e.g. silt traps and sediment
settlement tanks, will be inspected regularly and will be suitably maintained to ensure
they remain fully operational and effective. Where failures or shortfalls within
mitigation measures are noted, these will be recorded. Suitable action will be
identified and undertaken within a suitable timeframe.
Construction Waste Management
13.6.6 The production of waste will be minimised throughout the works, including wastes from peat
and this has been taken into account in the design process to avoid, where possible, areas of
deeper peat. Where waste is generated, this will be reused and recycled where possible.
13.6.7 A Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) will be produced to address the management of
waste streams. The SWMP is typically incorporated into the HSEMS and will address the
following issues:
• Waste minimisation;
• Separation of waste at source;
• Appropriate storage and disposal of waste taking account of stability and pollution
prevention;
• Management of peat, superficial deposits and bedrock;
• Re-use of peat where possible on site;
• Management of waste oils; and
• Recommendations for inspection and maintenance.
