CONCLUSION
AND RECOMMENDATION
8.1
Conclusions
8.1.1
No Action and Limit
Level exceedance was recorded for air quality monitoring and construction noise
monitoring in the reporting period.
8.1.2
No Action and Limit
Level exceedance was recorded for water quality in the reporting period.
8.1.3
No Action / Limit
exceedance was recorded for noise levels at stations (NMS1 and NMS2) in close proximity to the active ardeid night roosts in the
monitoring period.
8.1.4
A total of four (4)
Action Level exceedances were recorded for the ecological monitoring of birds
during the reporting period. However, these exceedances were not project-related.
8.1.5
13 environmental
site inspections and 13 landscape and visual site audits were carried out in the
reporting period. Recommendations on mitigation measures were given to the Contractor for
remediating the deficiencies identified during the site inspections.
8.1.6
No environmental
complaints, notification of summons and successful prosecutions were recorded in
the reporting period.
8.1.7
The EM&A
methodology has been effective in monitoring the environmental impacts of the
Project and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures. The data collected
were useful in determining whether the Project had caused unacceptable impacts
on the sensitive receivers. Analysis of all EM&A data collected throughout
the baseline and the impact monitoring periods demonstrated the environmental
acceptability of the Project.
8.2
Comment and Recommendations
8.2.1
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.
8.2.2
According to the
environmental site inspections performed in the reporting period, the following
recommendations were provided:
Air Quality Impact
·
The Contractor is reminded to increase watering for dust suppression
during the demolition of sludge digestion tank.
·
The Contractor is recommended to increase watering for haul roads.
Construction Noise Impact
·
The Contractor is reminded to maintain and reinstate the Sound Proof Canvas properly at the western site boundary
near Sludge Digestion Tank (SDT).
·
The Contractor is reminded to maintain and reinstate the silentup and sound proof canvas at
the western site boundary.
Water Quality Impact
