11.             CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

11.1               Conclusions

11.1.1             1-hour TSP impact monitoring were carried out in the reporting month. No Action / Limit Level exceedance at AM1 and AM2 was recorded during the period.

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

11.1.3             No Action and Limit Level exceedance were recorded for water quality at M2 and M3 in the reporting month.

11.1.4             Three Limit Level exceedance were recorded for water quality in the reporting month. The exceedance were recorded at M1 on 3, 6 and 27 July 2021. It was found that these exceedances were not project-related.

11.1.5             Ardeid night roost monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. Of the two confirmed ardeid night roosts during the pre-construction survey, only ANR 1 was observed to be active.  No Action / Limit Level exceedance at NMS1 and NMS2 was recorded during the period.

11.1.6             Ecological bird monitoring was carried out in the reporting month. One exceedance in Action Level was recorded during this period¡¦s monitoring of birds including significant decline in species diversity of species of conservation importance only for the point count method. However, the exceedance was not project-related.

11.1.7             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.

11.1.8             Four landscape and visual site audits were carried out in the reporting month.

11.1.9          Referring to the Contractor¡¦s information, no environmental complaint, notification of summons and successful prosecution was received in the reporting month.

11.2               Comment and Recommendations

11.2.1             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.

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

 

Air Quality Impact

¡P          Stockpiling of excavated soil should be covered with impermeable sheeting and contained properly to prevent contaminated runoff and dust emission at main store area where SI works of SCAP is conducting.

¡P          The contractor is reminded to cover the stockpiling of excavated soil with impermeable sheeting to prevent ingress of water during rainstorms and/ or prevent dust emission near the demolished PST.

Construction Noise Impact

¡P          No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Water Quality Impact

¡P          The contractor is reminded to provide mitigation measure to prevent silty runoff getting into the storm drain near main store area.

¡P          Mitigation measure should be provided to prevent direct discharge of runoff at Zone 1 area near detritor.

¡P          The contractor is reminded to de-silt the gullies near the main entrance to the piling area.

Chemical and Waste Management

¡P          Stockpiling of excavated soil should be covered with impermeable sheeting and contained properly to prevent contaminated runoff and dust emission at main store area where SI works of SCAP is conducting.

¡P          The contractor is reminded to cover the stockpiling of excavated soil with impermeable sheeting to prevent ingress of water during rainstorms and/ or prevent dust emission near the demolished PST.

Land Contamination

¡P          No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Ecological Impact

¡P          The contractor is reminded to maintain and reinstate the bird curtain at the northern site boundary.

Landscape and Visual Impact

¡P          The contractor is reminded to closely monitor the three condition of Tree T028 for open cut too close to the tree near temporary administration building.

Hazard to Life

¡P          No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.

Permit/ Licenses

¡P          No specific observation was identified in the reporting month.
