1. Technical Measures

• 
  Considering the Regulation for Control of Excavation Soil, Construction and Demolition Waste, a Plan will be prepared for Demolition Waste’s temporary and final disposal, by Municipality. Necessary permissions will be taken from the municipality for waste disposal. Measures to be taken during excavation are specified in Clause 14 of the regulation.
  

Those performing the excavation are liable to take measures to minimize noise, visual pollution and dust emissions and to enclose around the activity area during removal of the excavation soil. Further measures such as balecloth covering plastic line bordering and wetting in order to prevent dust should be taken by the contractor In the excavation process, planning is made to match the soil amount to be removed from excavation, with the filling volumes, and it is provided to utilize the excavation soil primarily in the activity area.

Activity owners that have minimum 2000 (two thousand) meter square area besides the construction location may temporarily collect the removed excavation soil in this area for reuse. If not, they have to utilize it in a continuous way in accordance with the specified regulation

While removing the excavation soil, natural drainage systems shall be protected and measures shall be taken against possible erosion. During removal the excavation soil, the individual/organization performing the excavation is liable to protect buildings beside the excavation area, natural drainage, power and telecommunication plants/system, pavement and road surfaces, and to take measures. Further measures (construction of temporary drainage sets to drain the water from the construction site in case of heavy rain) should be taken by the contractor against possible damage and erosion.

• 
  No explosive, inflammable, dangerous and toxic material will be used in excavation, all excavation works will all be performed manually or mechanically.
  
• 
  Topsoil from excavation will be kept by surrounding its borders at areas found appropriate by the Municipality, and will be utilized in a short time as road filling material and as upper cover soil for landscaping works or landfills.
  
• 
  Upon completion of excavation and construction works, roads and footways will be covered and reinstated as soon as possible. For this purpose, connection lines construction will be progressed along the route in certain intervals to minimize the excavation area.

• 
  Emission and noise of vehicles and machinery will be considered. New vehicles and machinery will be prior used vehicles during activities.
  
• 
  Necessary measures, defined in “Regulation for Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise / Vibration Regulation” will be taken to make noise and vibration to occur at all stages in accordance with "Regulation for Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise / Noise Control Regulation" and collective noise generation will be avoided by setting working machines and trucks separately in construction sites to be carried out simultaneously in different stages.
  
• 
  Necessary repair and maintenance works will be carried out to keep vehicle exhaust emissions used and the emissions from machines below the limit values stated in "Regulation for Control of Exhaust Gas Emissions of Vehicles in the Traffic". According to this regulation carbon monoxide amount in vehicle exhaust emissions cannot exceed 3.5% by volume.
  
• 
  Oil replacement of working machines at open areas and pouring the oil to the soil will be prevented and. For this purpose, maintenance works inside vehicle garage will be performed periodically. Necessary collection with discharge equipment such as oil collector and separator will be provided which will be constructed for collecting spilled oil with necessary absorbant materials such as oakum cloth for cleaning purposes.
  
• 
  As-build drawings and plans of other existing infrastructure (electricity, telephone, sewerage, etc.) will be provided and these structures will be kept free from damages during excavation.
  
•
