Site
audit was carried out on a weekly basis to monitor the timely implementation of
proper environmental management practices and mitigation measures in the
Project site. The summaries of site
audits are attached in Appendix G.
8.2 Site audits were conducted on 5,
13, 18 and 27 December 2018 in the reporting month. IEC joint site inspection
was conducted on 18 December 2018. No non-compliance was observed during the
site audit.
8.3 The monitoring works conducted by the monitoring were inspected regularly. The following observations have been recorded for the monitoring works:
Noise Monitoring
Ÿ The monitoring team recorded all observations around the monitoring stations, which might affect the monitoring result.
Ÿ Major noise sources were identified and recorded. Other intrusive
noise attributing to the result was trimmed off by pausing the monitoring
temporarily.
