A stockpile of C&D waste was observed
near site entrance. |
The Tenant is reminded to regularly dispose
of C&D waste. |
The observation
will be followed up in the next audit. |
|
|
Water inside the waste water tank was too
shallow to be pumped out but the submersible pump was still being operated.
In addition, C&D waste was observed inside the tank. |
The Tenant is reminded to switch off powered
equipment not in use and clear C&D waste inside the tank. The Tenant is also reminded to prevent
mosquitos. |
The observation
will be followed up in the next audit. |
|
Note: *The site
entrance of the Cosmos lot was locked and so the lot could not be accessed. No
issues were found based on the observation from the site entrance.
