5. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE INSPECTION

Site Inspections

5.1 Site inspection was carried out on a weekly basis to monitor the timely implementation of proper environmental pollution control and mitigation measures for the Project. In the month, four site inspections were carried out. The summary of weekly environmental site inspections observations and environmental site inspection checklists are attached in Appendix H[INCLUDE SITE INSPECTION RECORDS IN APPENDIX H]HHHHHH.

Review of Environmental Monitoring Procedures

5.2 The monitoring works conducted by the Environmental Team were inspected regularly. Observations have been recorded for the monitoring works as follows:

Air Quality Monitoring

· The monitoring team recorded the observations around the monitoring stations within and outside of the construction site.

· The monitoring team recorded the temperature and general weather condition on the monitoring day.

Noise Monitoring

· The monitoring team recorded the observations around the monitoring stations, which might affect the results.

· Major noise sources were identified and recorded.

Advice on Waste Management Status

5.3 The actual quantities of uncontaminated sediment, contaminated sediment, inert C&D materials and C&D wastes generated by activities of the Project in the month are provided in Table 5.1. Trip ticket system was implemented for all offsite waste disposal.
