According to

recommendations were made:
Air Quality Impact
· To enhance the dust suppression measures such as water spraying on all
haul roads and expose work site area; and
· To maintain the impervious material to cover the stockpile of dusty materials; and
· To ensure all regulated machines with valid Non-road Mobile Machinery
(NRMM) labels.
Water Impact
· To prevent any surface runoff discharge into nearby drainage or stream;
· To divert all the water generated from construction site to de-silting
facilities with enough handling capacity before discharge; and
· To ensure the drainage facilities would not be clogged with waste to
avoid overflow.
Waste/Chemical Management
· To avoid improper handling, storage and dispose of oil drums or chemical
containers on site; and
· To store chemical waste/waste oil properly in the designated place
before disposal.
Landscape & Visual Impact
· To clear the construction materials/wastes properly within the tree
protection zone.
· Retained trees should be carefully protected.
· Dull green fencing should be secured with no
gaps or no holes.
Landfill Gas Hazard
· “No Smoking” and “No Naked Flame” notices in Chinese and English should be
posted prominently around the construction site.
