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
Three exceedances in Action
Level were recorded for the ecological monitoring of birds on 5 February 2024
(daytime), 28 February 2024 (night-time) and 4 March 2024 (daytime). These
include significant decline in point count method result for species diversity
of all avifauna species, and for species diversity of avifauna species with
conservation importance and decline in Abundance of Species of Conservation
Importance in the point count method.
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.
