3. WATER QUALITY

In accordance with the recommendations of the EIA, water quality EM&A is required during dredging for the submarine pipelines and, during operation phase. In addition, baseline water quality monitoring was prior to the commencement of marine construction activities.

The following Section provides details of the water quality monitoring to be undertaken by the Environmental Team (ET) to verify the distance of sediment and brine plume dispersion and to identify whether the potential exists for any indirect impacts to occur to ecological sensitive receivers.

Water quality monitoring for the Contract can be divided into the following stages:

- Dredging activities during construction phase;

- Discharge of effluent from main disinfection during construction phase;

- Operation phase - first year upon commissioning; and,

- Continuous monitoring of effluent quality.

In addition, the marine works contractor is required to complete a silt curtain efficiency test for the combined use of floating silt curtain type and cage type silt curtain for dredging at seawater intake to confirm the silt curtain reduction efficiency assumptions of the assessment. The details of testing plan together with the silt curtain deployment plan shall be submitted by the ET to seek approval from the IEC and EPD.

3.1. Water Quality Parameters

The parameters that have been selected for measurement in situ and in the laboratory are those that were either determined in the EIA to be those with the most potential to be affected by the construction works or are a standard check on water quality conditions.
