equipping construction sites with an environmental kit to deal efficiently with minor spills and leaks in order to prevent environmental pollution;

5.

organisation of works causing emission of dust into the air in order to reduce dust nuisance;

6.

organisation of work generating noise emissions to reduce noise nuisance;

7.

organisation of works causing vibration to reduce vibration nuisance;

8.

organisation of works in proximity to still and flowing waters in order to make works in a river bed or in the basin of a lake, pond or sea as well as on the shoreline of watercourses and reservoirs safe for the aquatic environment;

9.

organisation of drainage works from temporary drains to protect standing and flowing waters from pollution discharged with groundwater and surface water (e.g. emission of suspended solids);

10.

cleaning vehicle wheels of mud and devices contaminated with concrete, cement-lime mixtures or gypsum in a manner that is safe for the aquatic and groundwater environment;

11.

ensuring that trees and shrubs are effectively protected from damage or destruction during construction works;

12.

ensuring effective protection and minimising losses to amphibian populations during construction work;

13.

clearly and comprehensibly marking waste collection sites, environmental protection infrastructure and environmental monitoring sites.

Permanent environmental monitoring is carried out on selected sites.
