Restoration

Site Restoration Plan Upon completion of the geotechnical soil investigation, all temporary facilities, equipment, materials, and associated installations will be removed from the site. The borehole locations and surrounding areas will be restored to a safe, clean, and orderly condition. The following restoration measures will be implemented: 1. Removal of Equipment and Temporary Facilities All drilling rigs, water pumps, water storage tanks, hoses, temporary toilet facilities, tools, materials, and other temporary installations will be completely removed from the site. 2. Borehole Restoration Upon completion of the required soil investigation and sampling, the boreholes will be properly sealed and backfilled in accordance with the applicable geotechnical and environmental requirements. Suitable approved material will be used for backfilling, and the material will be placed and compacted appropriately to prevent settlement or the creation of open voids. 3. Bentonite Slurry and Waste Restoration Any bentonite slurry, drilling mud, and other drilling-related waste generated during the investigation will be collected in designated containers or temporary containment areas to prevent uncontrolled discharge into the surrounding ground, drainage system, or water bodies. After completion of the drilling activities, the remaining bentonite slurry and drilling waste will be removed from the BSEZ premises and transported to an appropriate and approved disposal location in accordance with BSEZ requirements and applicable environmental regulations. No bentonite slurry or drilling waste will be discharged directly onto the ground, into drains, or into nearby water bodies. 4. Ground Surface Restoration Any disturbed ground surrounding the borehole locations, equipment areas, or access routes will be levelled and reinstated as far as practicable to its original condition. Any temporary surface damage caused during the investigation will be repaired. 5. Removal of General Waste and Debris All general waste, including plastic bags, used gloves, packaging materials, and other debris generated during the investigation, will be collected and removed from the site on a daily basis. No waste will be left within the project area after completion of the work. 6. Restoration of Water Collection Areas Following completion of the investigation, all water pumps, pipelines, storage tanks, and associated temporary arrangements used for water collection and supply will be removed. The water collection point and surrounding area will be cleaned and restored to a neat condition. 7. Final Site Cleaning and Inspection A final cleaning and inspection will be conducted to ensure that no equipment, waste, bentonite slurry, temporary structures, or hazardous materials remain at the site. Any identified damage or disturbance will be addressed before demobilization. The site will be handed back in a clean, safe, and orderly condition, fully restored as far as practicable, and in accordance with the requirements and instructions of BSEZ.
