9. Record keeping

9.1 Air quality log

Construction activities can be affected by a number of different external and internal factors, such as weather conditions or equipment malfunction, which can contribute to an increase in dust emissions. Various control and mitigation measures will be carried out on-site to prevent such effects, and monitoring and inspection procedures will be used to assess the level of dust emissions both on the Project site and beyond its boundary. Recording relevant monitoring and inspection results, as well as the conditions of external and internal factors, can help assess if control measures are being effective, and to define appropriate corrective or preventive actions in case any undesirable effects are detected.

The procedures for recording daily air quality inspections are detailed below:

The Construction Manager (or delegated person) will fill out an Air Quality Daily Log (refer Appendix E) form each day and maintain the record on site. The following information will be recorded: o Records of dust monitoring trigger events specified by this DWP, including identification of the monitor ID which registered the trigger event, the time and the averaging period of the TSP trigger event; o Any dust control equipment malfunctions and any remedial action(s) taken; o Results of the Visual Inspections of dust emissions; o General weather conditions during the day (i.e. windy, calm, warm, rain, etc.); o The frequency of watercart and/or water sprinkling system use; and o The date and signature of the person entering the information.
