2.1.1
As identified in the EIA Report, no
adverse impact arising from construction works would be expected with the
implementation of mitigation measures stipulated in the Air Pollution Control
(Construction Dust) Regulation.
Therefore, no air quality monitoring would be required during
construction of the Project. It is
recommended that auditing works during construction phase be carried out to
ensure that the Contractor has implemented the recommended mitigation measures
to minimize the construction dust impact.
2.2.1
Weekly site inspections should be
carried out in order to ensure the dust control mitigation measures are
implemented and are working effectively.
The Contractor shall be responsible for implementation of the Air
Pollution Control (Construction Dust) Regulation and good site practices. A number of practical measures are listed
below:
·
Use of regular watering to reduce dust emissions from
exposed site surfaces and unpaved road, with complete coverage, particularly
during dry weather;
·
Use of frequent watering for particularly dusty static
construction areas and areas close to air sensitive receivers (ASRs);
·
Tarpaulin covering of all dusty vehicle loads
transported to, from and between site location;
·
Establishment and use of vehicle wheel and body washing
facilities at the exit points of the site; and
·
Routing of vehicles and positioning of construction
plant should be at the maximum possible distance from ASRs.
2.2.2
Upon receipt of an environmental
complaint, or as part of the environmental audit, the Contractor shall liaise
with the ET on some other mitigation measures, propose to ER for approval, and implement
the mitigation measures.
2.2.3
The implementation schedule for the
recommended air quality mitigation measures is presented in Appendix A.
