Project HSSE Management Planning
10. Waste Management Plan
Project waste management generally employs the “3R process”—reduce, reuse,
recycle—to address environmental management
The project waste management plan details the controls to be applied to each particular
category of waste, ranging from general office waste (paper, etc.), food waste (from site
canteens), sanitary waste (from site welfare facilities), to the different categories of waste
generated by construction processes (excavations, metal, packaging, lumber, etc.).
• Discharge of wastewater during excavation into adjacent watercourse, where some
degree of primary treatment is required (water treatment plants, settlement ponds, etc.)
for the removal of suspended solids or other environmentally harmful constituent.
• Excavated material, where waste enforcement authorities are empowered to assess the
performing organization's controls for disposal controls and waste manifest system; that
is, the determination of how much waste is placed in authorized areas.
• Construction and demolition waste generated on site, which may require a formal plan
for treatment of the debris and separation for potential recycling or reuse.
