The 12^th inspection to the Sha Lo Wan (West) Archaeological Site was conducted on 29^th December 2015 and next inspection will be conducted in March 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.

7.8 Spill kits and booms are ready on site for the event of accidental spillage of oil or other hazardous chemicals from construction activities including vessels operating for the Contract.

7.9 During site inspections in the reporting month, no non-conformance was identified. The observations and recommendations made during the audit sessions are summarized in Table 7.1.
