Action Level

With the numerical values presented in Tables 7.1-7.2, any of the response variable for dolphin movement patterns (speed, inter-breath interval, reorientation rate & linearity) and behaviour (proportion of time spent in each behavioural state) recorded in the construction phase monitoring is 20% higher or lower than that recorded in the baseline monitoring, action level should be triggered

 

1. Repeat statistical data analysis to confirm findings;

2. Review all available and relevant data to ascertain if differences are as a result of natural variation or seasonal differences;

3. Identify source(s) of impact;

4. Inform the IEC, SO and Contractor;

5. Check monitoring data;

6. Carry out audit to ensure all dolphin protective measures are implemented fully and additional measures be proposed if necessary

 

1. Check monitoring data submitted by ET and Contractor;

2. Discuss monitoring with the ET and the Contractor;

 

 

1. Discuss with the IEC the repeat monitoring and any other measures proposed by the ET;

2. Make agreement on measures to be implemented.

 

1. Inform the SO and confirm notification of the non- compliance in writing;

2. Discuss with the ET and the IEC and propose measures to the IEC and the SO;

3. Implement the agreed measures.

 

Limit Level

With the numerical values presented in Tables 7.1-7.2, any of the response variable for dolphin movement patterns (speed, inter-breath interval, reorientation rate & linearity) and behaviour (proportion of time spent in each behavioural state) recorded in the construction phase monitoring is 40% higher or lower than that recorded in the baseline monitoring, limit level should be triggered

 

1. Repeat statistical data analysis to confirm findings;

2. Review all available and relevant data to ascertain if differences are as a result of natural variation or seasonal differences;

3. Identify source(s) of impact;

4. Inform the IEC, SO and Contractor;

5. Check monitoring data;

6. Carry out audit to ensure all dolphin protective measures are implemented fully and additional measures be proposed if necessary

7. Discuss additional dolphin monitoring and any other potential mitigation measures (e.g. consider to temporarily stop relevant portion of construction activity) with the IEC and Contractor.

 

 

1. Check monitoring data submitted by ET and Contractor;

2. Discuss monitoring with the ET and the Contractor;

3. Review proposals for additional monitoring and any other measures submitted by the Contractor and advise ER accordingly.

 

1. Discuss with the IEC the repeat monitoring and any other measures proposed by the ET;

2. Make agreement on measures to be implemented.

 

1. Inform the SO and confirm notification of the non- compliance in writing;

2. Discuss with the ET and the IEC and propose measures to the IEC and the SO;

3. Implement the agreed measures.
