10               Implementation Schedule

10.1.1.1         This chapter presents the implementation schedule of mitigation measures for the Project. Table 10.1 to Table 10.5 summarise the details of the recommended mitigation measures for all works areas.  For each recommended mitigation measures, both the location and timing for the measure as well as the parties responsible for implementing the measure and for maintenance (where applicable) have clearly been identified.
