Baseline monitoring for noise shall be carried out at designated monitoring stations over a continuous period of at least two weeks in order to establish ambient conditions prior to the commencement of any construction works.

Impact monitoring shall be carried out by taking continuous 24-hour noise measurements during the duration of the project. General construction work carried out during restricted hours shall comply with the conditions of a construction noise permit.

Baseline monitoring for water quality is required to establish ambient conditions prior to the commencement of works and to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed impact, control and reference monitoring stations.

During the course of marine works, impact monitoring shall be undertaken at the designated monitoring stations at a frequency of 3 days per week, at both mid-ebb and mid-flood tides.

Baseline monitoring for air quality shall be carried out at designated monitoring stations for both 1-hour and 24-hour TSP prior to the commencement of any construction work to establish ambient conditions. 24-hour monitoring shall be carried out on consecutive days for a period of no less than 14 days. 1-hour sampling shall be conducted at least 3 times per day when the highest dust impact is expected, over these same 14 days.
