6.1.1.1
With the implementation of the recommended measures
stipulated in the EIA report, adverse construction phase impact would not be
expected at the VSRs in the vicinity of the construction sites. As such, LVIA monitoring is not
recommended. However, weekly site
audits are recommended to ensure the recommended measures are properly implemented
throughout the construction period. Landscape and visual monitoring during
the operation phase of this Project is considered not necessary.
6.2.1.1
The recommended mitigation measures for construction phase impacts
are presented the EMIS in Appendix 1.1
of this EM&A Manual. In the
event of complaints or non-compliances, the ET, Engineer and Contractor should
review the effectiveness of these mitigation measures, design alternatives or
additional mitigation measures as appropriate. The Contractor should propose the
corrective action to the Engineer for approval, and implement them accordingly.
These measures should include the following good site
practices:
·
The proposed finishes for the low-rise structures (including
the steel cover and the facilities) of the Project would be constructed in dull
and light green color (as shown in Figure
8.8).
·
Construction site hoardings should be erected to surround
the site to minimise the landscape and visual impacts on viewers from road
level.
·
Off-site tree compensation (planting of thirty-one trees).
·
Rolling curtains made of durable and non-reflective
materials would be installed along the western site boundary of the proposed
EMSD Workshop.
6.3.1.1
The implementation of regular site audits aims to ensure the
mitigation measures recommended in the EIA report to be properly undertaken
during the construction phase of this Project. It can also provide an effective control
of any mal-practices and, therefore, achieve the continual improvement of the environmental
performance on-site. Inspections of
the construction activities and works sites and works areas should be conducted
by the Contractor at least on a weekly basis to ensure the mitigation measures to
be properly implemented.
6.3.1.2
Site audits should be carried out by the Engineer, ET and
Contractor, and should be based on the mitigation measures as recommended in Appendix 1.1. In the event that the recommended
mitigation measures are not fully or properly implemented, the Contractor should
report the deficiency to the Engineer and ET. The appropriate action will need to be
taken by the Contractor:
·
Investigate the problems and causes;
·
Discuss a remedial and corrective proposal with the ER and
ET;
·
Take action according to the action notes agreed with the
ER;
·
Implement the remedial and corrective action immediately;
·
Re-inspect the site conditions upon the completion of the
remedial and corrective action; and
·
Record the event.
