The cost for environmental monitoring of the project is presented in Table 9.2. The costs included in this section present only the costs where KAHEP management is responsible for the compliance and impact monitoring through an instrumental monitoring. The costs of the other monitoring activities through technical support staff at site are included in the environmental management costs of the project. The costs where contractor is responsible for monitoring are part of the project civil costs and not included here.
