A detailed vegetation survey on the Pitcher Plants and Bamboo Orchids would be conducted within the impacted shrubland and Project Area by a suitably qualified botanist/ ecologist to identify and record the affected individuals prior to the commencement of site clearance works.  Feasibility and suitability of transplanting the affected plant species of conservation interest would be carefully studied and suitable receptor sites would be identified.  Detailed transplantation proposal providing information of transplantation methodology, recipient site, implementation programme, watering requirement, post-transplanting monitoring and personal involved shall be submitted to and approved by EPD and AFCD.  Transplantation would be undertaken and supervised by a suitably qualified botanist/ horticulturist.  After transplantation, monitoring will be undertaken to check the performance and health conditions of the transplanted individuals on a weekly basis in the first month after transplantation and monthly basis for additional eleven months.  Remedial actions will be discussed with AFCD in the event of unsuccessful transplantation.

Erect fences along the boundary of the works area before the commencement of works to prevent vehicle movements, and encroachment of personnel, onto adjacent areas.

Avoid damage and disturbance to the remaining and surrounding natural habitats.

Reclaim temporarily affected areas, particularly the shrubland along the haul road adjacent to the construction site, after completion of the construction works, through on-site tree/shrub planting.  In selecting the tree shrub species to be used, reference will be made to the species present in the surrounding area and/or Section 8.4 of the EIA Report.
