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.
12.1.4
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.
12.1.5
Ecological bird
monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. Two exceedances in Action
Level were recorded during this period’s monitoring of birds including
significant declines in point count method results for species diversity of all
avifauna species in the community; and species diversity of species of
conservation importance. However, the exceedances were not project-related.
12.1.6
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.
12.1.7
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.
12.1.8
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
·
The Contractor is reminded to provide water spraying for dust suppression
at loading/unloading area and haul roads.
Construction Noise Impact
·
No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
Water Quality Impact
·
The Contractor is reminded to provide sandbags to prevent silty runoff
into the storm drain.
Chemical Waste and Construction Waste Management
·
No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
Land Contamination
·
No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
Ecological Impact
·
The Contractor is reminded to maintain and reinstate the bird curtains
at the eastern and northern site boundary.
Landscape and Visual Impact
·
Provide maintenance check after rainstorms for possible broken branches
or other possible damages to trees.
Hazard to Life
·
No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
Permit/ Licenses
·
No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
