Negative impact includes: dust pollution; noise pollution; air pollution; odour generation and occupation hygiene; domestic waste; waste oil; solid waste; damage to access roads; electricity management near construction site; and surface water pollution. Mitigation measure includes: 1) reduce dust generation by minimizing earth disturbance and handling when possible; 2) operating noisy machines in daytime, any nighttime activities should be done using noise reducing means or low-noise technologies; 3) perform regular maintenance on vehicles; 4) work sites should be cleared of residual solid wastes and wastewater before works; 5) discharge and disposal of domestic wastes from construction camps into water sources must be avoided; 6) the disposal site, route for transport of these wastes, facilities must be planned specifically; and 7) all fuel-using means should be strictly managed storage of fuel at construction sites should be prohibited so as to avoid of fire.
