The
following Section presents a summary of Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A)
requirements for each impact assessment described in this EIA Report.
Regular
dust monitoring and monitoring of the VOC at the biopile
exhaust is considered necessary during the carrying out of the Project and
regular site audits are also required to ensure the dust control measures are
properly implemented. Details of the
EM&A programme will be presented in the separate EM&A Manual.
Given
residual airborne noise impact is predicted during the carrying out of the
Project, to ensure that the nearby Noise Sensitive Receivers (NSRs) will not be
subjected to unacceptable noise impact, an EM&A programme is recommended. Details on the noise monitoring requirements,
methodology and action plans would be described in the separate EM&A
Manual.
Water quality
monitoring programme is recommended to be implemented, as part of the
management and control programme defined in the action plan of the EM&A
Manual. Details of the water quality monitoring programme are specified in the
EM&A Manual.
Waste management will be the responsibility
of the Contractor. The Contractor must ensure that all wastes produced during
the carrying out of the Project are handled, stored and disposed of in
accordance with good waste management practices and EPD’s regulations and
requirement. The recommended mitigation measures should form the basis of the
Waste Management Plan (WMP) to be developed by the Contractor throughout the
project period. The WMP shall be
prepared and implemented in accordance with ETWB TC (W) No. 19/2005 Environmental
Management on Construction Site.
Throughout the project period, regular site
inspections as part of the EM&A procedures should be carried out to
determine if wastes are being managed in accordance with approved procedures
and the Waste Management Plan. Different aspects of waste management including
waste generation, storage, recycling, treatment, transport and disposal would
be included in the programme.
Bulk
excavation of soil for decontamination works is planned to take place. Therefore, environmental monitoring of decontamination
works should be considered. Monitoring
should include regular site inspections.
All related procedures and facilities in handling/storing chemicals and
chemical wastes should be audited regularly to make sure they are in order and
intact and reported in the EM&A Reports.
No specific ecological mitigation measure is required; however
precautionary measure for site inspection of active bird nest and bat roost is
recommended to be carried out prior to site clearance works as mentioned in Section 8.5. The
recommended precautionary measure to avoid impacts on active bird nest and bat
roost should be checked as part of the environmental monitoring and audit
programme for the Project.
The
implementation, monitoring and audit of the precautionary measure mentioned in Section 8.5 should be conducted as presented in the
standalone EM&A Manual. In addition, the mitigation measures for
air, noise, water and landscape aspects proposed in respective sections which
are indirectly beneficial to the local ecology shall be checked as part of the
environmental monitoring and audit procedures as presented in the standalone EM&A
Manual.
No specific
fisheries mitigation measure is required. Therefore, no monitoring and audit
programme on fisheries aspect is considered necessary.
The implementation of the landscape impact mitigation
measures proposed in Table
10.6
should be checked as part of the EM&A procedures
during the carrying out of the Project as presented in the separate EM&A
Manual. The implementation of the landscape impact mitigation measures proposed
in Table 10.7
should also be checked as part of the EM&A procedures before the
construction of the proposed future waterfront promenade.
