    • Avoid operations during strong winds
    • Use water or dust suppressant on surfaces likely to emit dust
    • Cover soil piles
    • Limit work at night
    • Require dump trucks to be fitted with shock absorbers to prevent rattling
    • Require broadband back-up alarms
    • Create a loop to prevent machinery from reversing
    • Continuous vibration monitoring and measurement
    • Development and implementation of a noise management program
  • Installation of a temporary retaining wall, respecting excavation slopes and management of accumulated water;
  • Capture and management of surface water
  • Management of soils, granular materials and other excavated materials
  • Management of residual and hazardous materials
  • Air quality management :
    • Frequent machinery inspections
