10.         Conclusions

 

10.1.1   24-hour TSP impact monitoring and construction noise monitoring were carried out in the reporting month.

 

10.1.2   Three Action Level exceedance for 24-hr TSP were recorded. An exceedance was recorded at KTD2c on 14 October 2020 and two exceedance was recorded at KER1 and KTD2c on 24 October 2020. No Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded for 24-hr TSP at KTD1 in the reporting month.

 

10.1.3   A Limit Level exceedance for construction noise was recorded. Exceedance was recorded at KTD1 on 21 October 2020. No Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded for construction noise at KTD2c and KER1 in the reporting month.

 

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

 

10.1.5   Four environmental site inspections were carried out in the reporting month. Recommendation on mitigation measures for chemical and waste management was given to the Contractor for remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.

 

10.1.6   Four weekly Landscape and Visual Site audits were carried out 7, 14, 21 and 28 October 2020 and two of them 7 and 21 October 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).

 

10.1.7   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
