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]

 

·         Two oil drums behind the sub-contractor’s site office were found without drip tray and oil stain was found next to the oil drums. Oil stain was also found at the u-channel construction area near Chainage 2400. The Contractor was reminded to properly store the chemicals and clear the oil stains.

 

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

 

·         Stockpiles of C&D waste were found at C6/C66. The Contractor was reminded to clear the C&D waste off-site regularly.

·         Skip near Gate 2 was found full of refuse. The Contractor was reminded to remove the refuse off-site more frequently.

 

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

 

·         General refuse and leaves were found inside the u-channel at C6/C66. The Contractor was reminded to clear the waste to prevent blockage of the drainage system.

 

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

 

·         A dump truck was observed leaving the site at Gate 2 without wheel-wash. The Contractor was reminded to provide proper wheel-wash to vehicles leaving the site.

·         Mud trails were observed outside the site exit at Gate 2. The Contractor was advised to clear the mud trails and provide wheel-wash at all site exits.

 

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.
