Identification of Potential Impacts
Construction
Overview
6.61 The construction phase of the Dissolved Acetylene Project is expected to take place over a period
of approximately nine months starting in the first quarter of 2012. During the works, there
potentially may be effects on local air quality as a result of site construction activities, and as a
result of vehicle movements on site and on the local road network.
6.62 Exhaust emissions from the use of on site plant are not considered likely to result in air quality
impacts, given the likely transitory nature of their operation and the distance to the nearest
locations of relevant exposure.
Dust Emissions
6.63 General construction activities which may give rise to dust emissions include demolition;
earthworks; handling and disposal of spoil; wind-blow from stockpiles of particulate material;
handling of loose construction materials; and construction vehicles travelling on un-surfaced haul
routes. Once generated, the emissions may be transported beyond the site boundary if not
properly controlled at source. Larger particles may be carried to, and then deposited at, nearby
properties depending on the particle size and distance between the source and the receptor. If the
particles are deposited in a significant quantity or over a continued period of time and in the
absence of control measures, a nuisance may be caused.
