DNL shall implement all the necessary measures in order to mitigate as far as reasonably practicable the potential degradation of general soil / ground water quality due to construction & operations, minor spillages, traffic and emplacement of fill material or due to onsite accidental spills and leakage. 5.1.1 Spill Prevention and Response

Sub-contractors shall ensure that sufficient resources are available at all times to deal with spills of hazardous materials. Every effort will be made to prevent hydrocarbon and chemical contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water. Inert absorbent material (e.g. absorbent pads, sand) shall be available near the areas where leakage of hazardous liquids can occur. The personnel who uses or manipulates paintings, oils or hydrocarbons has to be informed about the use of the absorption devices during the orientation sessions and toolbox meetings. 5.2 Dust Control

DNL is responsible for fugitive dust control within the Jobsite boundaries and control areas. During initial site preparation and construction phase, every effort will be made to minimize the discharge of visible fugitive dust beyond the property line that will interfere with land use or violate air quality standards. Source reduction and source improvements provide emission control through improved stockpile management and improved work practices related to loading and load-out operations. Examples of these include: Reduction in the amount of material being handled and minimize the frequency of stockpile surface disturbance. Reductions in material drop height when loading out to the stockpile. Covering stockpiles when practical with tarpaulin and securing the cover. Fugitive dust control for material handling operations and stockpiles will be through reduced

handling, reduced time of stockpiling, when possible, and dust suppressants (e.g., water) under prolonged dry and windy weather conditions. All vehicles (trucks, lorries) out of site will be inspected to ensure that they have adequate means of covering loads. Torn and badly worn or ill-fitting covers will be rejected. Trucks shall not be overload while carrying earth, sand, gravel, stone or other aggregates and will be completely and adequately covered at all time while moving. Bulk storage of waste earth will be limited as far as is practicable and care will be taken during handling to reduce dust generation. Drop height between excavators and transporters will be minimized and double handling of earth in storage areas will be eliminated where possible. Every effort will be made to reduce the handling of stockpile materials during prolonged dry or windy weather. The site speed limit will be strictly applied in order to limit the disturbance of dust and truck drivers will be instructed to stay on approved routs to minimize off road traffic. Water spray trucks and/or mechanical road sweepers, or similar will be used to control dust on the site in the area of competence. Mud and dirt accidentally transported onto public roads or jobsite roads via construction traffic will be cleaned up immediately by the DNL responsible. The HSE Manager will monitor the implementation of dust control measure on site. The transportation of earth, sand, gravel, etc, HSE Department will put in place random check. 5.3 Noise Control

DNL shall follow all the local rules and IEFCL specification for noise control on the jobsite and ensure that noise levels are within the maximum limits set for the project as measured at the jobsite boundary. During site preparation, construction and commissioning activities DNL will perform work in a manner that minimizes the affects of noise generated. The noise sources (compressors, generators, etc.) will be recommended for insulation or other preparation in order to minimize the noise inside and outside the workshop. Sources Noise levels within the construction area will be assessed and control measures implemented. The selection of equipment shall be taken into account and a determination shall be made whether
