5. ENVIRONMENTAL SITE INSPECTION

Site Inspections

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, five site inspections were carried out. The summary of weekly environmental site inspections observations and environmental site inspection checklists are attached in Appendix H[INCLUDE SITE INSPECTION RECORDS IN APPENDIX H]HHHHHH.

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.

Material Storage/Spillage/Leakage [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· No observations and recommendations were made during the weekly site inspections in the month.

Waste Management [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Leaves were found inside u-channel at TTA3 and catchpit at C6/C66. Debris and silt were found inside u-channel underneath the abutment at Siu Lam. The Contractor was reminded to clear the debris and properly maintain the drainage system.

· General debris was found at Chainage 2200. The Contractor was reminded to clear them and improve site tidiness.

· Inert C&D materials were found at C6/C66. The Contractor was reminded to clear the C&D materials as soon as possible.

· Skip for collecting refuse at Gate 2 was full near Gate 2. The Contractor was reminded to clear the refuse off-site.

Water Pollution [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· No observations and recommendations were made during the weekly site inspections in the month.

Air Emissions [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Mud trails were found on carriageway outside Gate 2. The Contractor was reminded to implement wheel-washing at site exits.

· Stockpile of excavated material was found next to the catchpit at TTA3. The Contractor was reminded to remove or cover the stockpile to prevent runoff during rain events.

Noise/Vibration [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· No observations and recommendations were made during the weekly site inspections in the month.

Abnormal/Emergency [INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· No observations and recommendations were made during the weekly site inspections in the month.

Miscellaneous

[INCLUDE AIR QUALITY SITE OBSERVATIONS IN REPORTING MONTH, SOME TYPICAL EXAMPLES SHOWN BELOW FOR REFERENCE]

· Sand runoff was found on pedestrian walkway near Gate 1 (Siu Lam). The Contractor was reminded to clear the sand and improve housekeeping.
