In addition, it is recommended that the General Specifications include a section (Section 1800) exclusively on Environmental Protection and Waste Disposal. This section would address:
* landscape preservation

* prevention of water pollution
* abatement of air pollution
* noise abatement
* dust abatement
* light abatement

Construction and maintenance supervision contracts should incorporate general clauses on commitment of the supervisory office to environmental management. In addition the contracts should have special clauses on the supervision of the utilisation of borrow pits and construction of drainage works.
