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.

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. No Action / Limit Level exceedance was recorded for the ecological monitoring of birds on this period.

12.1.6     Four 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     Four 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     Referring to the Contractor’s information, no environmental complaint, notification of summons and successful prosecution was received 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

·        No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Water Quality Impact

·        Provide mitigation to prevent direct discharge of silt water into the storm drain.

·        Gullies should de-silt near the main entrance of the piling area.

·        The Contractor is reminded to provide sandbags along inner edge of U channel to prevent inflow of silty runoff.

Chemical and Waste Management

·        No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

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

·        Trees behind the dismantling changing room at south boundary should be properly protected according to GLTM of DevB recommended measures or specification for the project.

·        Demolition of changing room ensure removal of concrete debris process do not causing unnecessary damage of branches by backhoe.

·        Re-alignment of water barrier to enlarge Tree Protection Zone.

·        Demolition works at changing room area should be handled with care to protect trees.

Hazard to Life

·        No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Permit/ Licenses

·        No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
