                                * Exceedances record date: 22/04/2025, 24/04/2025

Six (6) Limit Level for DO, three (3) Limit Level for turbidity of impact water quality monitoring were recorded. Exceedances were recorded on 22 and 24 April 2025. After investigation, all the exceedance at SYR-IS1, NTR-IS1, SHST-IS2 and MWR-IS3 were considered caused by other external factors rather than the contract works due to the following reasons:

1.             No pollution discharge was observed from land-based site area;

2.             Oil and influx of muddy water from upstream of the Ma Wat River not related to the Project works was observed by monitoring team while sampling;

3.             Water mitigation measures at the nearby construction sites were observed implemented properly; and

4.             Control Station’s DO value already exceed the Action or Limit Levels.
