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, three site inspections were
carried out and due to site close for Lunar New Year,
the site inspection of week 2 of the reporting month was suspended. The summary
of weekly environmental site inspections observations and environmental site
inspection checklists are attached in Appendix H.
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.
