Site Audits

7.1 Site audits were carried out by ET on weekly basis to monitor the timely implementation of proper environmental management practices and mitigation measures in the Contract site. The summaries of site audits are attached in Appendix M.

7.2 Site audits were conducted on 4^th, 11^th, 18^th and 25^th August 2015 by ET after the commencement of construction works for the Contract. A joint site audit with the representative with IEC, SOR, the Contractor and the ET was carried out on 25^th August 2015. The details of observations during site audit can refer to Table 7.1.

7.3 According to EP condition 4.7 and EM&A Manual, periodic monitoring (every three months) of construction works shall be conducted to ensure the avoidance of any impacts on Sha Lo Wan (West) Archaeological Site. Access to Sha Lo Wan (West) Archaeological site for works areas and storage of construction equipment is not allowed. The 10^th inspection to the Sha Lo Wan (West) Archaeological Site was conducted on 23^th June 2015 and next inspection will be conducted in September 2015.

Implementation Status of Environmental Mitigation Measures

7.4 According to the EIA Study Report, Environmental Permit and the EM&A Manual, the mitigation measures detailed in the documents are recommended to be implemented during the construction phase. An updated summary of the EMIS is provided in Appendix N.

7.5 Regular marine travel route for marine vessels were implemented properly in accordance with the submitted plan and relevant records were kept properly.

7.6 Acoustic decoupling measures for the stationary equipment (generators, winch generators and air compressors) mounted on boards were adopted according to EP Condition 3.7 and EM&A Manual, Section 10.2.18.

7.7 Dolphin exclusion zone and dolphin watching plan according to EM&A Manual, Section 10.2.12 and EP Condition 3.5 was implemented by DCVJV’s trained dolphin watcher.
