8 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

8.1 Conclusions

8.1.1 No Action and Limit Level exceedance was recorded for air quality monitoring and construction noise monitoring in the reporting period.

8.1.2 No Action and Limit Level exceedance was recorded for water quality in the reporting period.

8.1.3 No Action / Limit exceedance was recorded for noise levels at stations (NMS1 and NMS2) in close proximity to the active ardeid night roosts in the monitoring period.

8.1.4 No Action / Limit exceedance was noted for the ecological monitoring of birds during the reporting period.

8.1.5 13 environmental site inspections and 13 landscape and visual site audits were carried out in the reporting period. Recommendations on mitigation measures were given to the Contractor for remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.

8.1.6 No environmental complaints, notification of summons and successful prosecutions were recorded in the reporting period.

8.1.7 The EM&A methodology has been effective in monitoring the environmental impacts of the Project and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures. The data collected were useful in determining whether the Project had caused unacceptable impacts on the sensitive receivers. Analysis of all EM&A data collected throughout the baseline and the impact monitoring periods demonstrated the environmental acceptability of the Project.

8.2 Comment and Recommendations

8.2.1 The recommended environmental mitigation measures, as proposed in the EIA report and EM&A Manual 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.

8.2.2 According to the environmental site inspections performed in the reporting month, the following recommendations were provided:
