24 th October 2010<br />
Compliance with Environmental Protection Act 1990, Control of Noise at Works<br />
Regulations 2005, The Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1974 and BS<br />
5228 will be required. Reference should be made to the Noise and Vibration<br />
<strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> at Appendix 7 of the Remediation Strategy (report ref. B0064-<br />
0C-R1-1 <strong>BAE</strong> Systems 2009).<br />
A programme of monitoring and measurement would be undertaken to ensure<br />
that noise and vibration levels at nearby properties or other sensitive sites are<br />
within limits set by Statute and British Standards. This will require regular<br />
monitoring for action level compliance.<br />
Strict controls on the sequencing of works and providing noise protection would<br />
be developed on an activity-by activity basis. These would include:<br />
Static plant would be positioned away from properties<br />
Mobile plant would be turned off when not in use<br />
Engine covers will be in place when plant is operating<br />
Modern, silenced and well maintained plant will be used for each<br />
construction task in line with EU directives<br />
Use of radios, other sound systems or tannoys would not be permitted<br />
anywhere on the construction site apart from under emergency<br />
conditions.<br />
Cutting operations or other noisy tasks would be minimised wherever<br />
practicable.<br />
Localised shielding of noisy operations would be required where there<br />
may be a risk of nuisance.<br />
Working hours for heavy machinery would be restricted to the hours indicated<br />
below:<br />
Normal Working Hours<br />
0730 – 1800 Monday to Friday<br />
0730 – 1300 Saturday<br />
With occasional working on Sundays and Bank Holidays where essential and<br />
agreed with Renfrewshire Council.<br />
6.4 Air Quality & Emissions<br />
Particular care would be required to maintain dust emissions at a practicable<br />
minimum when working in the vicinity of the residential properties and<br />
environmentally sensitive areas. Best Practice mitigation would be required<br />
during dry conditions. The use of Best Practicable Means (as defined in Part III<br />
of the Environmental Protection Act 1990) would be employed. Dust reduction<br />
