Breaches of Action and Limit Levels
iii.
No Action and Limit
Level exceedance was recorded for air quality monitoring and construction noise
monitoring in the reporting month.
iv.
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.
v.
No Action / Limit
exceedance was recorded for noise levels at stations (NMS1 and NMS2) in close
proximity to the active ardeid night roost. One active ardeid night roost site
(ANR1) was observed within the Survey Area during the June 2021 monitoring
period, while the other night roost site (ANR2) was not currently used by the
ardeids.
