7.1
The Project was commenced on
1-hr TSP
7.2
The 1-hour TSP monitoring was
conducted as scheduled except the monitoring at Station B on 1, 4, 7, 9, 14, 15
and
24-hr TSP
7.3
The
24-hour TSP monitoring was conducted as scheduled except the monitoring
at Station B on 2 and 8 August 06. The Station B was not accessible to the
monitoring team during the summer holiday of the school which was closed in
these days. No Action/Limit Level exceedance was
recorded in the reporting month.
Construction Noise
7.4
Construction noise monitoring was conducted as scheduled except the monitoring at
all Stations on 3 August 06 due to hosting of Typhoon Signal No. 3 as well as
at Station B on 9 and 17 August 06 when the school was closed for summer
holiday. No Action/Limit Level exceedance was recorded
in the reporting month.
Water Quality
7.5
Water
quality monitoring was conducted as scheduled. The DO
concentration (3.8 mg/L) at W1 measured on 15 August 06 did not comply with the
Compliance Level but within the baseline level (2.2-9.4mg/L). In addition, no
construction activity was undertaken adjacent to the monitoring location. The
non-compliance of DO level is therefore considered not due to the project
activity. No further action was required.
Complaint and Prosecution
7.6
No
environmental prosecution and complaint was received in the reporting month.
7.7
According to the environmental
audit performed in this reporting month, the following recommendations were
made:
Dust Impact
·
To prohibit any open burning on
site.
·
To regularly maintain the
machinery and vehicles on site.
·
To implement dust suppression
measures on all haul roads, stockpiles and dry surfaces.
·
To provide sufficient dust
control measures on site especially for present dry season.
Noise Impact
·
To inspect the noise sources
from inside and outside of the site.
·
To space out noisy equipment
and position as far away as possible from sensitive receivers.
·
To schedule noisy activities in
order to minimize noise level expose to nearby sensitive receivers.
·
To liaise with schools and Examination
Authority for examination times during contract period and liaise with Pok Oi Hospital on timing as well
as duration of project. Noise shall be considered as an environmental
constraint.
Water Impact
·
To identify any wastewater
discharges from site.
·
To install sand traps or other
means at discharge points.
·
To regularly maintain the
condition of u-channel and catch pits.
·
To avoid stagnant water
accumulation on site.
·
To size and employ
sedimentation tanks with sufficient capacity.
·
To construct temporary ditch
diverting surface runoff back to the site for soak away or other appropriate
treatment.
·
To prevent surface runoff on
the public road from the wheel washing bay or facilities.
Waste/Chemical Management
·
To check for any accumulation
of waste materials or rubbish on site.
·
To check for any oil/chemical
leakage from drip tray or chemical storage areas.
·
To avoid any discharge of
chemical waste or oil directly from the site.
Permit / Licenses
·
To display the EP and
applicable CNP conspicuously on the construction sites at all site
entrances/exits or at a convenient location for public information at all time.
