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.

Material Storage/Spillage/Leakage [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Stockpile of asphalt aggregates was found at Siu Lam Roundabout. The Contractor was reminded to clear the aggregate as soon as possible to prevent runoff during rainstorm.

· Little diesel stains were observed on the paved road around Chainage 2400. The Contractor was advised to timely clean up those diesel stains.

· Some stockpiles of C&D material near Tai Lam Kok and C&D waste along the works area at Castle Peak Road were to be collected.

· The Contractor was reminded to clear the C&D material and sand on pedestrian walkway at Chainage 1900.

Waste Management [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Skip at Gate 1 was full of refuse. C&D material was accumulated at Tai Lam Kok carpark and Gate 2. The Contractor was reminded to clear the waste and improve housekeeping on site.

Water Pollution [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Small quantity of muddy runoff was running into a gully due to improper collection of wheel-washing / road cleaning water. The Contractor was advised to properly collect the wash water.

· The Contractor was reminded to clear the leaves and refuse in the u-channel at TTA3.

Air Emissions [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Mud trails were observed outside the site exit of C6. The Contractor was advised to carry out wheel-washing within the site area.

· Mud trails were found on carriageway at site exit of Gate 2. The Contractor was reminded to clear the mid trails and provide wheel-wash at site exit.

Noise/Vibration [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· No observations and recommendations were made during the weekly site inspections in the month.

Abnormal/Emergency [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· No observations and recommendations were made during the weekly site inspections in the month.

Miscellaneous

[INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]
