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 were recorded for water quality at M1 and M3 in the reporting month.

12.1.4 One Action Level exceedance was recorded for water quality in the reporting month. The exceedance was recorded at M2 on 23 August 2022. It was found that this exceedance was not project-related.

12.1.5 Ardeid night roost monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. Two active ardeid night roost areas (ANR1 and ANR2) were observed within the Survey Area. These roosts were located at the mangrove strips in the east and northeast portions of the Project boundary. No Action / Limit Level exceedance at NMS1 and NMS2 was recorded during the period.

12.1.6 Ecological bird monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. No Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded for the ecological monitoring of birds on this period.

12.1.7 Five environmental site inspections were carried out in the reporting month. Recommendations on mitigation measures for Permit/ Licenses were given to the Contractor for remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.

12.1.8 Five landscape and visual site audits were carried out in the reporting month. Recommendations on mitigation measures for Permit/ Licenses were given to the Contractor for remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.

12.1.9 No environmental complaint, notification of summons and successful prosecution was recorded in the reporting month.

12.2 Comment and Recommendations

12.2.1 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.

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

Air Quality Impact

· No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Construction Noise Impact

· The Contractor is reminded to maintain and reinstate the silentup at western and northern site boundary.

Water Quality Impact

· The Contractor is reminded to provide sandbags to prevent runoff into storm drain near piling area.

Chemical Waste and Construction Waste Management

· Clean up the oil stain on road with chemical absorbent pad and treat it as chemical waste for disposal.

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
