2          ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS

 

Monitoring Parameters

2.1               The EM&A Manual designates several locations representative of the identified sensitive receivers for the ET to monitor environmental impacts in terms of air quality, noise and water quality due to the Project.  The Project area, monitoring locations and sensitive receivers are depicted in Figures 2.1 to 2.5.  Appendix C gives details of monitoring requirements.

 

Monitoring Methodology and Calibration Details

2.2               All monitoring works were conducted and monitoring equipment was regularly calibrated in accordance with the EM&A Manual. Copies of calibration certificates are attached in Appendix D.

 

Environmental Quality Performance Limits (Action and Limit Levels)

2.3               The environmental quality performance limits, i.e. Action and Limit Levels (AL Levels) were derived from the baseline monitoring result. Should the measured environmental quality parameters exceed the AL Levels, the respective action plan will be implemented. The AL Levels for each environmental parameter are given in Appendix E.

Environmental Mitigation Measures

2.4               Relevant mitigation measures were recommended in the EM&A Manual for the Contractor to implement. A list of mitigation measures is given in Appendix F.
