12.                     CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

12.1            Conclusions

12.1.1             1-hour TSP impact monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. No Action / Limit Level exceedance at AM1 and AM2 was recorded during the period.

12.1.2             Construction noise monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. No Action / Limit Level exceedance at CM1, CM2 and CM3 was recorded during the period.

12.1.3             No Action and Limit Level exceedance was recorded for water quality at M1, M2 and M3 in the reporting month.

Water Quality Impact

·         No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Chemical Waste and Construction Waste Management

·         Domestic waste should be stored inside the enclosed rubbish bin.

Land Contamination

·         No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Ecological Impact

·         No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Landscape and Visual Impact

·         No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Hazard to Life
