10.         Conclusions

 

10.1.1   24-hour TSP impact monitoring and construction noise monitoring were carried out in the reporting month, no Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded during the period.

 

10.1.2   No complaint of air quality was received. Therefore, no impact 1-hour TSP monitoring was conducted in the reporting month.

 

10.1.3   Four environmental site inspections were carried out in the reporting month. Recommendations on mitigation measures on air quality and construction noise were given to the Contractor for remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.

 

10.1.4   Four weekly Landscape and Visual Site audits were carried out on 8, 13, 20 and 27 February 2019 and two of them 13 and 27 February 2019 were carried out by a Registered Landscape Architect in the reporting month. The weekly Landscape and Visual Impact reports were counter-signed by IEC as according to the requirement of EM&A Manual (AEIAR-130/2009).
