EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Project Background and main features

1. Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project (Line 3: Nhon-Ha Noi Station Section) (the Project) is developing the Mass Transit Model in urban area of Hanoi. The Project comprises a 12.5 km long section that goes from Nhon along the National Road 32 and into the urban area of Hanoi. The elevated section has a total length of 8.5 km with 8 stations, whereas the underground section has a length of 4 km including 4 underground stations, plus a 500 m long transition section. 2. The Project is divided into nine construction packages (CP01 to CP09). The first five are mainly related to the execution of the civil works (CP01: Evaluated section- line; CP02: Evaluated stations; CP03: Underground section and its stations; CP04: Depot infrastructure; and CP05: Depot architectural works) and the other four (CP06 - CP09) cover the supply and installation of the power supply, tracks, rolling stock, equipment, etc. The Project is co-financed by loans of the French Treasury (DG Tresor), Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Agence Franҫaise de Development (AFD) and European Investment Bank (EIB). The counterpart is the Hanoi People’s Committee (HPC). 3. Here are summarized the main features of this project: The project includes 9 main civil works and system packages, as shown in Table 1. Some of them, CP01 to CP05 are construction units with clear environmental implications.

B. Methodology of the works

4. The applied methodology for the independent verification tasks is an adequate sequence of activities, which follows and are in accordance with the objectives and specifications of ADB, mainly as follows:

2

Analysis of the monthly reports prepared by Project Implementation Consultant (PIC). It was analyzed if these reports have any wrong assertion, any lack of information and if they match with the real situation observed on site.

Direct monitoring works on site and the assessment of the environmental protection measures currently implemented. As well, the assessment of the level of compliance with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 and the common environmental expected sensibility.

5. The assessment may include some recommendations about measures to implement or to strength them.

Independent Environment Consultant (IEC) held interviews with affected local people, households, who have claimed because of any affection due to the construction works, as well as with the environmental and safety officers of Contractors and environmental specialist of the PIC.

Finally, some other important matters were analyzed, such as the general structure of the environmental management team in each involved organization or the established mechanism for grievance treatment and its operation.

C. Main Findings and Recommendations

6. During 15 September - 15 October 2019, the Independent Environmental Consultant (IEC) inspected along project, IEC met and worked wi - 41` th Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB), the implementation agency of the Project, and Contractors. In general, all Contractors have complied with environmental protection measures defined in approved Contractor’s Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs), detail as following:

- Contractors maintain regular sanitation on and off the construction site relatively well. All materials are neatly arranged within the construction site. Machinery and tools are stored in a separate warehouse. Most contractors equip rubbish bins on site. All waste, including domestic and construction wastes, is collected in a large container and removed by a functional environmental unit. legal waste collection. Hazardous wastes such as oil, contaminated soil, rags / wipers, etc. are stored and treated and treated by an environmental company (contractors who signed a waste treatment contract ).The disposal areas of Contractors, namely Thap Boi field, Vinh Quynh landfill, Van Noi landfill, were approved by PIC, MRB and Hanoi People Committee. Details are listed in Table 10.

- All Contractors have rented local houses next to the construction sites for the worker camps. A number of contractors have installed a large container for the engineers working as well as the site office in some sections along the route, this container includes a toilet for engineers for normal use. The contractor has only a few places or areas where toilets are installed for workers. In other places / areas where toilets are not installed, workers must use toilets in their worker camps or sometimes they use a large can of water in construction sites and move it out. site and clean it every day

- Contractors POSCO and DAELIM established programs called Green Saturday. Every week, all workers and officers came to construction sites to collect waste. However, according to specification of the Project and approved CEMP, all the Contractors must conduct the training to enhance the environmental management capacity but all of them did not do it.

- Contractors are fully equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) for on-site workers such as helmets, safety shoes, gloves and reflective jackets. Workers working in confined spaces such as building septic tanks are provided with ventilation. However, workers working in high noise area / equipment are not equipped with ear protection.

3

- At present, construction activities do not generate much dust. Not many unsuitable materials have been moved out of the site, so the number of dump trucks has dropped significantly. Traffic on the roads around the project is very crowded, so it is very noisy and dusty. Contractors have never sprayed water to minimize dust on existing roads, they only irrigate in the field areas, although CEMP requires contractors to spray water on existing roads to minimize dust during dry days.

- Contractors set up hard barriers and fence along the Project’s alignment to separate the construction areas and existing roads, public areas to ensure safety. After construction activities in each section were finished, Contractors immediately dismantled these barriers to return space for traffic.

- Each Contractor has one Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) team which include the key personnel listed in Table 6. Some contractor, they do not have environmental qualification or Environment Manager

- Since July 2018 to September 2019, no labor deadly accident or serious injury case, no environmental risk; but there are some accidents happened during project`s construction time.

- However, IEC detected some HSE issues which need to be improved:

✓ Some excavated material still exists on construction sites. ✓ No toilet for the workers in almost section along route. ✓ No watering to minimize dust in existing roads. ✓ The workers working in the high noise areas/equipment were not equipped with

ear protection equipment.

7. By interviewing with some households along the alignment, conducted on 26 July 2019, IEC summary some complaint of the local people to the construction activities of the Project. Interviewees said that since the Project work, this location was easy flooding and the flooded time was extended more. Sometime when it was heavy rain these households were flooded. 8. So far, activities under the Project has impacts on income of some business households adjacent to Kim Ma, Tran Hung Dao, Cat Linh streets because traffic space has been narrowed down due to the Project, so traffic is inconvenient, leading to fewer consumers.

D. Main issues detected in document and recommendations

9. The following table summarizes the main issues and findings of the independent environment verification, including the corresponding recommendations to solve gaps and to improve the environmental protection tasks during the construction period.

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) specialist, Safety manager, Environmental manager

Generally satisfactory

HSE specialist of PIC was mobilized and in charge of checking the Contractors’ compliance with CEMP. But in fact, the safety issues were focus much more than environmental issues.

Many environment issues were not reported.

In addition to health and safety issues, HSE specialist of PIC should report in detail the environmental issues in their Monthly Process Report.

The personnel in charge of environment issues of PIC/MRB should reinforcement to inspect, supervise the Contractor compliance with environmental mitigation measures.

environmental effects monitoring during the period, complying with the statement in approved CEMPs; however, the monitoring frequency of once every six months is not appropriate.

EMR of packages in this period includes:

• CP-01: July 2018.

• CP-03: July 2018, October 2018, January 2019, May 2019 and July 2019.

Contractor and PIC should report all related environmental problems more detail in the Monthly Process Report.

Timeline requirement: 20th february, 2020

Disposal areas Generally satisfactory

All four Contractors submitted the list of disposal areas to the PIC for approval and the following disposals were approved by PIC, MRB and Hanoi People Committee for each Contractor:

- CP01: 2 landfill sites in Vinh Quynh and Dong Anh

- CP02: 2 landfill sites in Vinh Quynh and Dong Anh

- CP03: 2 landfill sites in Dong Anh

- CP05: HANCORP signed a contract with Hanoi URENCO to haul and dispose spoil during construction phase.

Contractors should summary the quantity of disposal every month and submit to the Consultant to ensure the dispose/spoil was discharge in correct and approved places.

E. Conclusion and recommendations:

10. During the independent assessment, the consultant received enthusiastic support from stakeholders such as MRB, construction Contractors CP01, CP02, CP03 and CP05. But monthly environmental reports of all packages as well as monitoring reports of CP01, CP05 were not available for review. 11. In general, the SEMRs which were submitted to ADB by MRB in 2018 and 2019 were synthetic all data and closely monitor the Contractor's environmental compliance status. The information was collected from Monthly Progress Report of PIC and records of MRB each time visit sites. Therefore, the reports accurately reflect actual situation of environmental implementation of all Contractors in the reporting period. Since July 2018, the Contractors have stopped to submit monthly Environmental Monitoring Report and semi-annual environmental quality monitoring reports to PIC. The PIC should have an environmental officer to review, follow it. 12. However, after careful research all related documents such as EIA, CEMPs, Specifications and reviewed the report that was submitted by the PIC combine with checking in site, interview the local people next to project, the IEC identify some HSE incompliance as detail: 13. The traffic is maintained in good condition with security fence and lighting, signboard system surrounding construction areas. There is no construction material or waste due to construction activities detected surrounding construction sites so that affect the traffic safety along the route. 14. Until 30 July 2019, along all the packages, 127 trees have been cut down while 395 trees have been relocated. The aftercare for relocated trees has been strictly complied with the approved method statement such as providing and maintaining appropriate watering and fertilizing activities to ensure their adaptation and growing as well as to minimize the death rate.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project background

15. Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project (Line 3: Nhon-Ha Noi Station Section) (the Project) is developing the Mass Transit Model in urban area of Hanoi. The Project comprises 12.4 km long section that goes from Nhon along the National Road 32 and into the urban area of Hanoi. The elevated section has a total length of 8.4 km with 8 stations, whereas the underground section has a length of 3.5 km including 4 underground stations, plus a 500 m long transition section. Error! Reference source not found. shows a general location map. 16. The Project is divided into nine construction packages (CP01 to CP09). The first five are mainly related to the execution of the civil works (CP01: Evaluated section- line; CP02: Evaluated stations; CP03: Underground section and stations; CP04: Depot infrastructure and CP05: Depot architectural works) and the other four (CP06 - CP09) cover the supply and installation of the power supply, tracks, rolling stock, equipment, etc. The Project is co-financed by loans of the French Treasury (DG Tresor), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Agence Franҫaise de Development (AFD) and the European Investment Bank EIB. The counterpart is the Hanoi People Committee (HPC). 17. Socially the Project will be a benefit to the population in the Project area. The population, located in the western area of Hanoi will, by using the metro, avoid traffic congestion and reduce traffic safety hazards (especially traffic accidents); reduce health-related problems (especially respiratory problems) due to air pollution and dust; and save time and benefit from a good transportation alternative to go to Hanoi Centre. 18. Beside the benefits, the Project also has potential negative impacts on the local environment during both construction and operation stages. The updated Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was cleared in 2013, which included the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Five mobilized Contractors (CP-01, CP-02, CP-04, CP-05 and CP-03 mobilized in February 2017) were required to prepare Contractor’s EMP (CEMP) for detailing their mitigation action plans to address construction impacts specific to site conditions. The CEMPs of CP-01, CP-02, CP-03, CP-04 and CP-05 were approved prior to construction start.

1.2 Objective and Purpose of the report

19. As required by ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS 2009), an external environmental monitoring expert must be mobilized when the Project has been classified as environment category A under ADB SPS 2009. Such expert shall undertake independent periodic reviews to verify the monitoring information submitted by MRB to ADB on the implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP). The external expert shall also assess if various EMP provisions are being implemented as required. This report is an external monitoring report from July 2018 to September 2019. 20. The report focuses on the assessment of EMP implementation, and finding good practices and constraints of the period from July 2018 to September 2019, with the aims at: i) Review and verify the accuracy, breadth, depth, and relevance of information provided by MRB to ADB with regard to EMP implementation; ii) Determine if EMP provisions (mitigation, monitoring, reporting, etc.) are being conducted in thorough and timely manner and in accordance with budget identified within the EMP; iii) Verification of monitoring information submitted by MRB to ADB shall be undertaken through review of environmental monitoring reports and other relevant documents, site visit and interviews with affected households, local officials and other stakeholders.

3 Methodology of Independent Environmental Verification Works

28. The applied methodology for the independent verification tasks was an adequate sequence of activities, which follows and are in accordance with the objectives and specifications of ADB, mainly as follows:

Analysis of the reports prepared by PIC. It was analyzed if these reports have any wrong assertion, any lack of information and if they match with the real situation observed on site.

Direct monitoring works on site and the assessment of the environmental protection measures currently implemented. As well, the assessment of the level of compliance with ADB SPS 2009 and the common environmental sensibility expected.

The assessment may include some recommendations about measures to implement or to strength that protection.

IEC held interviews with affected local people, households, who have claimed because any affection due to the construction works, as well as with the environmental and safety officers of Contractors and environmental specialist of the PIC.

18

Finally, some other important matters were analyzed, such as the general structure of the environmental management team in each involved organization or the established mechanism for grievance treatment and its operation.

3.1 Desk review

29. Available documents concerning environmental issues of this project were collected and reviewed to study pre-project environmental situation of the Project area and environmental management plans as well as project environmental measures implementation progress. Purpose of this activity was to understand the performance of a project/organization through its documentation, whether in written, electronic or photographic form.

30. The following documents were provided and reviewed: ✓ Semi-annual reports: Semi-annual report July to December 2018. Semi-

annual report January to June 2019. Construction environmental management plans (CEMPs): The CEMPs for Packages CP01, CP02, CP03 and CP05 were provided and reviewed.

✓ Contractors’ environmental monitoring reports: CP01: July in 2018. CP02: The contractor has not carried out the environmental monitoring work for noise and vibration, air quality and wastewater quality…. with frequency of twice a year as per stated in approved CEMP. CP03: Jul 2018, Oct 2018, January 2018, May 2019, July 2019, CP05: November 2018 and May 2019, For CP05, the contractor carries out the environmental monitoring work with frequency of once every six months for noise and vibration, air quality and surface water quality, meanwhile according to the approved CEMP.

✓ PIC - Systra Monthly progress reports: During this period, the monthly report including EHS issues were submitted to client and ADB.

✓ Other documents and reports: Contractors‟ disposal documents. Grievance Redress Mechanism documents. Tree relocation document.

3.2 Site Inspection and Interviews with households along the Project

31. The IEC interviewed households during the evaluation process. The focus of interviews was on the information disclosure, environmental issues, environmental restoration, participation, complaints and complaint address, etc. 32. The IEC observed the status of construction sites, ground clearance, etc. and took pictures during site visit. Pictures were used to understand the context in sites and could be used to compare with the pre-project phase and to assess environmental restoration of the Project.

3.3 Constraints found during the Independent Environmental Auditing Works (IEAW)

33. During the independent environmental verification, the IEC encountered some constraints that were conditionings for our performance such as:

✓ The Contractor, PIC did not submit the HSE monthly report because for a long time they did not prepare it.

✓ Some information regarding training Safety, HIV/AIDS, environment data were request but it was not submitted. Environmental specialists were not mobilized in all Packages except CP02. Since 2018 the MRB did not have officer/environmental specialist to inspect site and review all environmental report prepared by Contractors, PIC and other tasks related to environmental and safety issues. In PIC office, there is an HSE specialist who takes responsibility in all health, safety and environment matters. However, for long and big project, this duty is too heavy therefore the specialist mostly has just focus on safety issues. One environment officer to support for him is necessary.

✓ IEC was mobilized but just after PMS2 began work.

4 ASSESSMENT ON THE EMP IMPLEMENTATION AND MAIN FINDINGS

The areas surrounding the project include community facilities and long-

standing historical and cultural facilities that may be affected around the project,

including:

21

Cultural and historical facilities around the project include:

22

During the implementation, the Project has applied environmental mitigation

measures under the EMP, so there are no complaints from these facilities.

4.1 Environmental, health and safety officers and specialist mobilization

34. In this period, the Contractors have established HSE management units in charge of environment and safety to ensure implementation of the CEMPs. Site inspections for safety issues are conducted daily by safety engineers of Contractors. The Contractors have always at least one safety engineer on site during construction time. All environmental and safety staff of Contractors have been trained on an HSE course and have certificates on occupational safety supervision, issued by authorized agencies. 35. Current specialists/officers in charge of environmental and safety issues for each Contractor who were approved by PIC and MRB are listed in Error! Reference source not found.. The key personnel mobilization in each contractor’s staff, regarding to Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) matters, is described as follows and summarized in table 6. This information was updated in the end of September 2019. 36. The contractors established HSE management units in charge of environment and safety to ensure implementation of the CEMP, in the first semester of 2018. Site inspections for safety issues are conducted daily by safety engineers of contractors; the contractors have always at least one safety engineer on site during construction time. All environmental and safety staff of contractors have been trained on HSE course and have certificates on labor safety supervision issued by authorized agencies such as Safety Training – Inspection – Environmental Survey JSC and Solution Safety and Health Co., Ltd.

37. There is Environment Staff in MRB office (Mr Thien), but he need to have enough fully knowdlege on Environmental Management. PMS2 consultant has been mobilized since May 2018 while all 3 environment positions of Engineer have been mobilized in second half of June 2018. PIC has one (1) international HSE specialist. 38. Recommendation: To advanced environment control and management during the construction stage, the Contractors should promptly mobilize the Environment manager who has environmental background education and experience in the same position in the other projects. 39. In the table it may be observed that Packages CP02 and CP03 have mobilized one staff for environmental matters and one Safety Manager. Packages CP01, CP05, CP07 and CP08 keep mobilized in June 2019 a manager for the three subjects (Health, Safety and Environment). PMS2 considers that it’s enough, as CP01 is near completion, and other packages are developed also in well limited and restricted areas. As well, no significant environmental impacts have happened in these packages. Therefore, PMS2 considers that, according to the current progress of the works and the scale of the pending works, one HSE Manager for each of these packages can develops the supervision of the three matters. CP04 has already finished works and CP06 is mainly developing design works and activities, carried out in France, so currently no staff on site. Regarding CP03, it’s noted that the contractor mobilized a specialist for environmental matters during the second quarter 2019.

40. OTHER AGENCIES’ SPECIALISTS MOBILIZATION 41. Project Implementation Consultant - PIC has assigned one international HSE specialist, already mobilized when PMS2 started works in 2018, in charge of these three matters and for all packages under PIC supervision. However, in view of large and long construction site (about 12 km) and very strict requirements on safety, the specialist focused mainly on safety issues, with less attention to EMP compliance monitoring and reporting. In previous SEMRs, PMS2 recommended that PIC should mobilize a specific environmental specialist. 42. Regrettably, not only the recommendation was not assumed but also the HSE Manager was demobilized in February 2019. It means that during almost the whole semester, PIC had no specialized staff for any of these three subjects. PMS2 considers this fact not acceptable as Health-Safety and Environment are essential part of the implementation of a project during the construction phase. 43. Regarding this important non-compliance with PIC‟s responsibility, it has to be also pointed out that during the preparation of this report, August 2019, it was not informed the mobilization of a new HSE. 44. Ha Noi Metro Railway Board - MRB: since December 2017, MRB has no specialist for environment, health and safety issues, although there is one engineer in charge of the coordination with PMS2 for these subjects. PMS2 acts in fact as Client’s direct support, as requested by MRB, being in charge of environmental matters. 45. Project Management Support consultant, Phase 2 – PMS2 has mobilized full time a National Environmental Specialist by middle June 2018. Until September 2019, this specialist continues developing his duties. As well, the International Environmental Expert was mobilized to arrange and coordinate the works for a first period by end of June 2018 to prepare the SEMR No.1, second period by January 2019 and third period in August 2019. 46. The External Specialist was also mobilized on 16 September 2019 and prepared an Independent Environmental Verification Report (IEVR No.2) will be submitted and approved by MRB.

4.2 Results of Semi-annual environmental monitoring reports

4.2.1 Semi-annual environmental monitoring reports

4.2.1.1 Semi-annual reports (July– December 2018 and January - June 2019)

47. During this period, PMS2 under MRB`s requirements had prepared 02 semi-annual environmental monitoring reports and submitted to ADB. These environment monitoring reports is in line with the Terms of Reference for the environmental consultant for the transition period. These report presents the results of the environmental management performance and internal monitoring activities. 48. The report covers the following:

- Status of compliance with ADB environmental loan covenants and with the environmental requirements of the Government of Viet Nam during the report period;

- Status of implementation of the environmental mitigation measures during the report period based on the EIA and CEMPs, including documentation of complaints received and corresponding action/resolution; and

49. Results of the environmental monitoring of air quality, noise, vibration and surface water quality conducted by the three Contractors.

4.2.1.2 Conclusion and recommendation:

50. Information in the semi-annual reports is based on monthly reports of construction Contractors, monthly reports of SYSTRA and MOU of ADB ‘s mission as well as environmental monitoring results provided by consultants and Contractors. Data appears to be correct and reliable. Assessment of compliance in the semi-annual report is based on: (1) Loan covenants, 2011; Updated Loan covenants, 2016; (2) Monthly Progress Reports; (3) Environmental Monitoring Reports; (4) The EIA report and (5) Site visits. The assessments are appropriate and dependable.

4.2.2 Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs)

51. The EMP which is part of the EIA was included in the biding documents of five civil contractors (CP-01, CP-02, CP-03, CP-04 and CP-05). The CEMPs of CP-01, CP-02, CP-03, CP-04 and CP-05 were approved prior to construction start, as follows:

4th review 15/12/2016 15/12/2014

ADB’s approval Approved Approved Approved Approved Approved

52. Contractors for Packages CP-06 to CP-09, although they were not requested to prepare their specific CEMP, they need to implement main basic environmental protection measures, according to the approved EIA, Vietnamese regulations and ADB Policy.

4.2.3 Monthly Environmental monitoring report of the Contractors

53. There are no environmental monitoring reports of Contractors

4.2.4 Environmental Effect Monitoring report of the Contractors

54. In addition to the system of compliance monitoring through field surveys, the reports of environmental effect monitoring will be evidence for assessment of whether construction activities impact air, noise, vibration, surface water, etc. or not. Therefore, selection of monitoring parameters and locations is very important. The relationship between construction activities and receptors should be reflected. 55. At present, sampling locations in the periodical environmental reports already show relation between construction activities and sensitive receptors. Monitoring criteria are based on national technical regulation. As compared to earlier monitoring reports, future monitoring reports need to improve by adding assessment on monitoring results such as whether construction activities under the Project affect surrounding environment. The results confirmed that construction activities did not affect ambient environment. This content was reflected in some reports, but it is inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to add findings of environmental monitoring results in future monitoring reports to define impacts caused by construction activities on the environmental quality. Error!

56. Based on EIA, the PIC has responsibility in environmental monitoring during pre-construction and construction stage for depot, viaduct and tunnel components. But according to the contract between PIC and the Client they do not in charge to carry out the monitoring program. Instead of CENMA which had conducted this monitoring from 2012 to Feb 2015 and then from 2015 to June 2016, Contractors of CP01, CP02, CP03 and CP05 have been conducting the environmental quality monitoring.

Compliance Assessment: No construction activities in the surrounding

6 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

69. In general, the information submitted to ADB by MRB through SEMP reports in 2 years (2018 and 2019) accurately reflects the situation of CEMP implementation. The information in SEMP reports is collected from reports such as progress reports of SYSTRA and environmental monitoring reports, environmental incidents. Therefore, the reports accurately reflect information in the reporting period. However, to ensure better quality of SEMP reports, the SEMP reports could provide more information on the following. - Activities of training, environmental management capacity enhancement for Contractors

should be conducted and report by picture and minutes. - Tables including pictures and address of site present how key environmental issues

identified in the previous reporting period were solved or not, to ensure connectivity between the two reports and assessment of effectiveness of environmental mitigation measures implemented by Contractors.

- Landfill locations with updated capacity in the period should be considered and specifically mentioned in the semi-annual environmental report, especially in construction process of package CP03. Therefore, it is necessary to consider specific landfill locations,

45

permits, maps, distance and routes of spoil transportation, companies in charge of hazardous waste transportation and disposal.

- PCR risk assessment under package CP03 should also be updated in the report. - For CP04: because the construction is completed, Thus, a post-construction report on

HSE is required. - To improve the Contractors‟ monthly environmental reports, the information on

construction activities within the month, mobilized equipment and human resources should be also updated. The compliance table should specifically show where and how the mitigation measures are carried out, and what corrective actions were or are needed to be implemented. Besides, appendices and minutes of spoil and waste transportation volume and distance, landfills should be updated in the reports.

70. There are some actions that Contractors have not complied with such as: Workers without PPEs have sometimes seen on construction sites; spoil on construction sites. 71. Construction sites are relatively clean and tidy. Mobile toilets are provided at each construction site by Contractors. Domestic waste and construction waste are classified. Construction waste is disposed in 03 permitted landfills including Thap Boi, Vinh Quynh and Van Noi. 72. The area of this project is very crowed (deports, stations…). Thus, even a small negative impact of the Project also affects the surrounding community. All contractors had to immediately mobilize environment manager positions to assure the environment issues. 73. Contractors need to prepare monthly environmental monitoring reports: The content regarding monitoring frequency should be reviewed. The relationship between construction activities and environmental quality during surveys should be also included in conclusions. It is necessary to clearly show causes, especially causes related to construction activities.
