Generated waste has the potential to affect the local environment if it is not managed<br />

appropriately. Potential impacts include:<br />

Run<strong>of</strong>f resulting from:<br />

- Accidental spillages<br />

- Stockpile mismanagement and run<strong>of</strong>f<br />

- Waste transfer<br />

- Poor waste storage<br />

- Sedimentation and erosion<br />

Ground contamination resulting from:<br />

- Untreated excavated contaminated material leaching into the surrounding<br />

environment<br />

- Accidental spillages<br />

- Incorrect disposal <strong>of</strong> contaminated materials<br />

- Stockpile mismanagement and run<strong>of</strong>f<br />

Amenity impacts through littering<br />

Potential waste misclassification<br />

Excessive waste being diverted to landfill.<br />

Whilst the impact magnitude would potentially be high the likelihood <strong>of</strong> an impact<br />

occurring would be negligible due to the proposed adoption <strong>of</strong> standard waste<br />

management and pollution prevention control measures.<br />

Resource management during construction<br />

Section 3.3.8 describes the provisional resources and materials required to construct<br />

the proposal. Material and resource types and quantities would be confirmed during<br />

the proposal’s detailed design. The provisional list demonstrates that the proposal<br />

could be largely constructed from recycled materials. This is consistent with Roads<br />

and Maritime’s requirement for its contractors to propose the use <strong>of</strong> recycled<br />

materials where they are cost and performance competitive and comparable in<br />

<strong>environmental</strong> performance.<br />
