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 for air quality impact, noise impact, chemical and waste management 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 5, 12, 19 and 26 February 2020 and two of them 5 and 19  February 2020 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).

 

10.1.5   Referring to the Contractor’s information, no environmental complaint, notification of summons and successful prosecution was received in the reporting month.

 

10.2       Comment and Recommendations

 

10.2.1   The recommended environmental mitigation measures, as proposed in the EIA reports and EM&A Manuals shall be effectively implemented to minimize the potential environmental impacts from the Project. The EM&A programme would effectively monitor the environmental impacts generated from the construction activities and ensure the proper implementation of mitigation measures.

 

10.2.2   According to the environmental audit performed in the reporting month, the following recommendations were made:

 

Air Quality Impact

l   Excavated materials should be covered or removed.

l   NRMM labels should be provided for all regulated machines.

 

Construction Noise Impact

l   Noise mitigation measure should be provided during breaking.

 

Water Quality Impact

l   No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

 

Chemical and Waste Management

l   All waste generated from the site should be cleaned and collected.

 

Land Contamination

l   No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

 

Landscape and Visual Impact

l   No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

 

General Condition

l   No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

 

Permit / Licenses

l   NRMM labels should be provided for all regulated machines.
