Implementation Status of Environmental Mitigation Measures

4.4 According to the EIA Report, EP 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 Environmental Mitigation Implementation Schedule is provided in Appendix J. The photographic records of measures to mitigate environmental impacts are presented in Table 4.2.

Table 4.2 Photographic Records of Measures

Environmental Permit No. EP-475/2013 Condition 2.7

To minimise adverse impacts on habitats of ecological importance in the vicinity of the Project, 2m high solid dull green site barrier fences have be erected around all active works areas

Solid and Liquid Waste Management Status

4.5 Waste generated from Contract No. ND/2019/06 includes inert construction and demolition (C&D) materials and non-inert C&D wastes.

4.6 The amount of wastes generated by the construction works of the Contract No. ND/2019/06 during the reporting month is shown in Appendix K.

4.7 The Contractors are advised to minimize the wastes generated through the recycling or reusing. All mitigation measures stipulated in the Updated EM&A Manual and waste management plans shall be fully implemented. The status of implementation of waste management and reduction measures are summited in Appendix J.
