After received the details of the complaint from
the ENPO, the Environmental Officers, RE and ET of Contract No. HY/2013/02 have performed a related follow-up inspection on 10 January 2018 to investigate this
event. After received the details of the
complaint from the ENPO, the Environmental Officers, RE and ET of Contract No.
HY/2013/02 have performed a related follow-up
inspection on 10 January 2018 to investigate this event.
The inspection was concentrated to check if any mud/slurry and dusts produced from the construction sites of Contract No. HY/2013/02 originated
to East Coast Road and if any mud/slurry and dusts accumulated on the road side of East Coast
Road. After checked with the RE and the Contractor of Contract
No. HY/2013/02 during 10:00 to 11:00 on 10 January 2018, the site entrance was cleaned and no mud/slurry
was observed around the East Coast Road site entrance. Besides, high pressure
water jet was provided at site exit in order to
prevent any mud/slurry bringing out from the site (see attached photo). The site entrance situation was
acceptable according to the site inspection on 10 January 2018. In addition, mitigation measures under the item A2
and W2 of EMIS were implemented including provide vehicle washing facilities
with high pressure water jet, the road section between the washing facilities
and the exit point was hard paved and reminders were provided at the wheel
washing basin and exit to remind all Contract(s) vehicles using
the site exit for proper wheel washing etc.
To monitor
the implementation of mitigation measures, follow-up site inspections were
performed. Mitigation measures under the item A2 and W2 of EMIS were
implemented and enhanced in order to further improve the condition of the site
entrance and road section between wheel-washing facilities and East Coast Road gate. Manpower was provided to
stop the vehicles when passing the washing facilities in order to lengthen the
washing time. Besides, washing
facilities with high pressure water jet at the area where vehicle washing takes
place was provided. The road section
between the washing facilities and the exit point was hard paved and watering
truck was arranged regularly to clean the road section. Besides washing the haul roads by watering, manpower was also assigned
to remove the accumulated mud/slurry along the haul road section between wheel-washing facilities and East Coast
Road gate (see attached photo) to clean-up the haul road thoroughly in order to avoid mud/slurry from
escaping beyond the East Coast Road gate.
The photos taken during the follow-up
inspections and the wheel washing facilities layout
plan were attached. The condition of site exit and the road section from
wheel-washing facilities to East Coast Road gate
was found to be improved and the situation was acceptable. Hence, the complaint
was found non-related to Contract No. HY/2013/02. The complaint investigation report (Log No. 017) was provided in Appendix K.

received the details of the complaint from the ENPO, the Environmental
Officers, RE and ET of Contract No. HY/2013/02 have
performed a related follow-up inspection on 10
January 2018 to investigate this event. The inspection was concentrated
to check if any mud/slurry and dusts produced from the construction
sites of Contract No. HY/2013/02 originated to
East Coast Road and if any mud/slurry and dusts
accumulated on the road side
of East Coast Road. After checked with the RE and the Contractor of
Contract No. HY/2013/02 during 10:00 to 11:00 on 10
January 2018, the site entrance was cleaned and no mud/slurry
was observed around the East Coast Road site entrance. Besides, high
pressure water jet was provided at site exit in
order to prevent any mud/slurry bringing out
from the site (see attached
photo). The
site entrance situation was
acceptable according to the site inspection on 10 January 2018. In addition, mitigation measures under the item A2
and W2 of EMIS were implemented including provide vehicle washing
facilities with high pressure water jet, the road section between the washing
facilities and the exit point was hard paved and reminders were provided at the
wheel washing basin and exit to remind all Contract(s) vehicles using the site exit for proper wheel washing etc.
