Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 3.11.1 Environmental monitoring and audit are recommended for construction stage dust, noise, water quality and marine ecology, to check compliance with relevant statutory criteria and to ensure the effectiveness of the mitigation measures. Site inspection and audit are also recommended for waste management during construction and for implementation of landscaping measures during operation. Details of the recommended mitigation measures, monitoring procedures and locations are presented in a stand-alone Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Manual. This will enable the Contractor to have early warning and provide necessary action to reduce impacts at specific areas if the critical assessment criteria are approached. The effectiveness of on-site control measures would also be evaluated through a monitoring exercise. All the recommended mitigation measures will be incorporated in an EM&A programme during implementation.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 3.11.1 Environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) requirements have been specified in an EM&A Manual. The EM&A Manual contains full details of proposed baseline and compliance monitoring programmes, as well as performance specifications, audit requirements and monitoring procedures.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 7.10.1 As no adverse construction noise impact is expected at the NSRs in the vicinity of the work sites due to the large separation distance between the construction sites and the nearby NSRs, construction noise monitoring is therefore not proposed. However, regular site audit is required to ensure proper implementation of good site practices. Details of the programme are provided in a stand-alone EM&A Manual.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 11.1 A comprehensive Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) programme has been recommended during construction and operation of the widened highways. The EM&A requirements cover air quality, noise, water quality, waste management, ecology, landscape and visual issues and cultural heritage and are a full reflection of the recommendations made within the EIA Report. With the inclusion of the recommended EM&A requirements into the works programme it is anticipated that the works can be carried out with full compliance of the standards set by the EIA Technical Memorandum.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 13.8.1.1 No EM&A activities for the construction and operational phases are recommended as no significant impacts are predicted.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 14.12.4.1 For the construction and operation within the Consultation Zone of PPV Landfill, the monitoring requirement specified in Clause 14.12.2.18 to 14.12.2.23 and Clause 14.12.3.8 to 14.12.3.11 shall be followed.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 3.11.1 An environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) programme will be implemented during the construction and operation of the Project, to check the effectiveness of the recommended mitigation measures and compliance with relevant statutory criteria. The EM&A procedures are required during construction and operational phases of the project implementation. The EM&A requirements are divided into environmental monitoring and/or project auditing in the form of site inspection and supervision. Only monitoring for air and noise has been recommended but regular auditing for air, noise, water quality, ecology, LVIA and waste would be required.

Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 3.14.1 Details of the environmental monitoring and audit requirements are provided in Chapter 10 of this EIA and a stand-alone EM&A Manual.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 4.8.1 Waste management will be the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that all wastes produced during the decommissioning works are handled, stored and disposed of in accordance with good waste management practices and EPD’s regulations and requirements. The mitigation measures recommended in Section 4.6 should form the basis of the site Waste Management Plan to be developed by the contractor in the construction stage.
Environmental Monitoring and Audit. 5.1.1 An environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) programme was recommended for air quality, noise, water quality, waste management, and landscape and visual during construction phase. Site inspection/audit was also recommended to check the implementation of the air quality, noise, water quality, waste management, and landscape and visual mitigation measures during the construction phase. A summary of the EM&A requirements by each of the environmental parameters is presented in Table 5.1 below.
