Depending on the size of the worksite, a \"roudiluve\", a tank for washing the wheels of heavy goods vehicles, is installed at the site exit.\r\n\r\nIn dry periods, the runways and areas being backfilled are watered if necessary. The roads leading to the site are regularly cleaned by a sweeper.\r\n\r\n<strong>Controlling noise pollution<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIn compliance with article R 48-5 of the French Public Health Code on the prevention of noise pollution, ECT takes all necessary steps to organize the operation of its development sites in order to limit annoying noise emissions, and ensures the regular maintenance of its equipment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Water protection<\/strong>\r\n\r\nGiven the inert nature of the materials brought in, the development project poses no risk of pollution to surface and groundwater.\r\nIf necessary, a hydraulic study will be carried out to direct and regulate runoff.\r\n\r\n<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupe-ect.com\/qualites-environnementales-et-societales-des-projets\/\">Find out more about environmental and social quality indicators for ECT projects<\/a><\/em><\/strong>"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How does ECT manage the environmental impact of its development projects on local residents and their surroundings?
