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                           An Action Level exceedance was recorded for water quality in the reporting month. The exceedance was recorded at M1 on 10 June 2021. A Limit Level exceedance was recorded for water quality in the reporting month. The exceedance was recorded at M1 on 8 June 2021. It was found that these exceedances were not project-related.

11.1.4                           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.

11.1.5                           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 species diversity of all avifauna species in the community; and species diversity of species of conservation importance only for the point count method. However, the exceedances were not project-related.

11.1.6                           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.

11.1.7                           Five landscape and visual site audits were carried out in the reporting month.

11.1.8                           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 reports and EM&A Manuals 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          No specific observation was identified in the reporting month. .

Construction Noise Impact

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

Water Quality Impact

¡P          Mitigation measures should be provided to prevent runoff from the temporary administration building works area flowing out to the nullah.

¡P          Mitigation measure should be provided at inlet / outlet of channel at catchpit to prevent discharge of water.

¡P          The contractor is reminded to provide mitigation measure to prevent silt / silty runoff getting into storm drain and / or checking the existing pipe network for temporarily sealing up manhole at excavation near piling area.

Chemical and Waste Management

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

Active Ardeid Night Roost Impact

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

Ecology of Birds Impact

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

Land Contamination

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

Landscape and Visual Impact

¡P          Establish protective barrier for retain trees T250 & T251.

¡P          Retain trees T252, T253 ¡V Trench work within tree protection zone has to be reviewed and follow specification of works and exercise care when doing work.

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.
