10.         Conclusions

 

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

 

10.1.2    An Action Level exceedance for 24-hr TSP were recorded in the reporting month. An exceedance were recorded at KTD2c on 1 February 2021. It is considered that this exceedance is not project related.

 

10.1.3    No Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded for 24-hr TSP at KTD1 and KER1 in the reporting month.

 

10.1.4    No Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded for construction noise at KTD1, KTD2c and KER1 in the reporting month.

 

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

 

10.1.6    Four environmental site inspections were carried out in the reporting month. No recommendation was given to the Contractor for remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.

 

10.1.7    Four weekly Landscape and Visual Site audits were carried out 3, 10, 17 and 24 February 2021 and two of them 10 and 24 February 2021 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).

 

10.1.8    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:
