Noise

 

2.1.      Monitoring Requirements

To ensure no adverse noise impact, construction noise monitoring is recommended to be carried out within 300m radius from the nearby noise sensitive receivers (NSRs), during construction phase. The NSRs selected as monitoring station are (i) NSR4 - Creative Secondary School, (ii) NSR24 - PLK Laws Foundation College, and (iii) NSR31 - School of Continuing and Professional Studies - CUHK respectively.

No impact construction noise monitoring was conducted in the reporting period due to the overly distant monitoring station from the works location, where they were farther than 1 km from the closet monitoring station NSR4 to the works location.

2.2.      Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

Construction noise level would be measured in terms of the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (LAeq). Leq 30min was used as the monitoring parameter for the time period between 0700 and 1900 on normal weekdays. Table 2.1 summarizes the monitoring parameters, frequency and duration of the impact noise monitoring.

2.3.      Monitoring Locations

The monitoring locations should normally be made at a point 1m from the exterior of the NSRs building façade and be at a position 1.2m above the ground. A correction of +3dB(A) should be made to the free-field measurements.

According to the environmental findings detailed in the EIA report and Baseline Monitoring Report, the designated locations for the construction noise monitoring are listed in Table 2.2 below.

Notes: Limits specified in the GW-TM and IND-TM for construction and operation noise, respectively.

 

If exceedances were found during noise monitoring, the actions in accordance with the Event and Action Plan shall be carried out according to Appendix E.


 

2.5.      Monitoring Results and Observations

 

Referring to EM&A manual Section 4.1.2, the impact noise monitoring should be carried out when there are project-related construction activities undertaken within a radius of 300m from the monitoring stations. No noise monitoring station was located within a radius of 300m of the Project site as shown in Figure 2.4, no impact monitoring for noise impact was conducted in the reporting period.

Water Quality

 

In accordance with the recommendations of the EIA, water quality monitoring is required during dredging for the submarine pipelines and, during operation phase. In addition, baseline water quality monitoring was conducted 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. The water quality monitoring programme was carried out to allow any deteriorating water quality to be readily detected and timely action taken to rectify the situation.

Water quality monitoring for the Project 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.

 

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. Parameters measured in the impact monitoring are listed in Table 3.1

34.28 PSU or 9% exceedance of value at any impact station compared with corresponding  data  from  control

station

34.60 PSU or 10% exceedance of value at any impact station compared with corresponding data

from control station

Iron in mg/L (Depth-

averaged)

0.3 mgL-1

0.3 mgL-1

Notes:

i.            "Depth-averaged" is calculated by taking the arithmetic means of reading of all three depths.

ii.            For DO, non-compliance of the water quality limits occurs when monitoring result is lower than the limits.

iii.             For Turbidity, SS, iron and Salinity, non-compliance of the water quality limits occurs when monitoring result is higher than the limits.

iv.            For the Action and Limit Levels adopted during First-year Operation Phase Monitoring, further review would be made according to the EM&A Manual during Operation Phase.

 

 

3.5.      Monitoring Results and Observations

General water quality monitoring at the ten monitoring stations (CE, CF, WSR1, WSR2, WSR3, WSR4, WSR16, WSR33, WSR36 and WSR37) were conducted as schedule in the reporting month.

Fifty-six (56) of the general water quality monitoring results of suspended solids (SS) obtained had exceeded the Action Level. Thirty (30) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained during the reporting quarter had exceeded the Limit Level.

Investigation on the reason of exceedance has been carried out, where the exceedances of SS were concluded to be unrelated to the project. Details of the instigation could be referring to Monthly EM&A Report Appendix O.


Algal Bloom and red tide were observed outside intake shaft and near the beach on 14 and 15 March 2022 by Supervising Officer¡¦s Representative (SOR), contractor and ET during site inspection. According to Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) previous red tide occurrences record, eighteen red tides have been sighted in Hong Kong in the period between 11/03/2022 - 18/03/2022, including Junk Bay (Tseung Kwan O). The red tides formed by Noctiluca scintillans. Akashiwo sanguinea and Noctiluca scintillans are non-toxic and are commonly found in Hong Kong waters. ET will closely monitor the water quality and the implementation of water mitigation measure, to ensure no adverse impact to water quality and ecology.

Landfill Gas Monitoring

 

5.1.      Monitoring Requirement

In accordance with Section 11 of the EM&A Manual, monitoring of landfill gas is required for construction works within the 250m Consultation Zone. Part of the desalination plant and the indicative area of natural slope mitigation works fall within the SENT Landfill Extension Consultation Zone; and part of the 1,200 mm diameter fresh water mains along Wan Po Road falls within the SENT Landfill and SENT Landfill Extension Consultation Zones, TKO Stage II/III Restored Landfill and TKO Stage I Restored Landfill Consultation Zones.

 

5.2.      Monitoring Location

Monitoring of oxygen, methane, carbon dioxide and barometric pressure was performed for excavations at 1m depth or more within the consultation Zone.

During construction of works within the consultation zones, excavations of 1m depth or more was monitored:

 

-             At the ground surface before excavation commences;

-             Immediately before any worker enters the excavation;

-             At the beginning of each working day for the entire period the excavation remains open; and

-             Periodically through the working day whilst workers are in the excavation.

 

For excavations between 300mm and 1m deep, measurements should be carried out:

 

-             Directly after the excavation has been completed; and

-             Periodically whilst the excavation remains open.

 

5.3.      Monitoring Parameters

LFG monitoring was carried out to identify any migration between the landfill and the Project and to ensure the safety of the construction, operation and maintenance personnel working on- site, visitors and any other person within the Project area.

 

The following parameters were monitored:

 

-                      Methane.

-                      Oxygen.

-                      Carbon Dioxide.

-                      Barometric Pressure.

 

 


5.4.      Monitoring Location

The area required to be monitored for landfill gas in the reporting period is shown in Figure 5.1.

In this reporting period, 88 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch1+360 - Ch1+513). No exceedance of action and limit levels for methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide was observed. Monitoring was conducted during excavations at 1m depth or more within the consultation zone and whenever workers entered the excavation on the day.

 

 

 

 

 


SUMMARY     OF     MONITORING     EXCEEDANCE,     COMPLAINTS, NOTIFICATION OF SUMMONS AND PROSECUTIONS

 

The Environmental Complaint Handling Procedure is shown in below Figure 6.1:

 


                                Figure 6.1       Environmental Complaint Handling Procedures

 

No noise monitoring was conducted during the reporting period since there are no Contract- related construction activities undertaken within a radius of 300m from the monitoring locations. No Action Level exceedance was recorded during the reporting period.

The EM&A works for water quality were conducted during the reporting period in accordance with the EM&A Manual.

During the reporting period, fifty-six (56) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action Level. Thirty (30) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained during the reporting quarter had exceeded the Limit Level.

After investigation, all exceedances were considered non-project related.

 

In this reporting period, 88 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch1+360 - Ch1+513). No exceedance of action and limit levels for methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide was observed. Monitoring was conducted during excavations at 1m depth or more within the consultation zone and whenever workers entered the excavation on the day.

Algal Bloom and red tide were observed outside intake shaft and near the beach on 14 and 15 March 2022 by Supervising Officer¡¦s Representative (SOR), contractor and ET during site inspection. Detail could be referring to Section 3.5.

Moreover, oil stains were observed outside the intake Shaft area on 7 March 2022 and near the Outfall Shaft on 23 & 29 April 2022 by Supervising Officer¡¦s Representative (SOR) and the Contractor during site inspection. No marine activity was carried out and all vessels were demobilized at both Intake & Outfall Shaft works area on that day. ET will keep closely monitoring the performance of Contractor, implementation of water quality mitigation measure and other contamination issue around the Project site, to ensure the EM&A requirement is properly implemented.

No notification of summons and prosecution was received in the reporting period. Statistics on complaints and regulatory compliance are summarized in Appendix H.

 

 

 

 

 


EM&A Site Inspection

Site inspections were carried out on a weekly basis to monitor the implementation of proper environmental pollution control and mitigation measures under the Contract.

Joint site inspections were also carried out by ET and IEC on 8, 15, 23 and 30 March 2022, 6, 12, 19 and 29 April 2022, 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 May 2022.

 

Minor deficiencies were observed during weekly site inspection. Key observations during the site inspections are summarized below:

-          Drip tray should be provided for chemical storage and provide label for the chemical;

-          The Contractor are reminded to provide drip trays for oil drums near the power generator near outfall

The Contractor has rectified the observations identified during environmental site inspections in the reporting period.

According to the EIA Study Report, Environmental Permit, contract documents and EM&A Manual, the mitigation measures detailed in the documents should be implemented as much as practical during the reporting period. An updated Implementation Status of Environmental Mitigation Measures (EMIS) is provided in Appendix C.

 

 

 

 

 


Conclusions and Recommendations

 

This is the 9th Quarterly EM&A Report for the Project which summarizes the key findings of the EM&A programme during the reporting period from 1 March to 31 May 2022, in accordance with the EM&A Manual and the requirement under FEP-01/503/2015/A.

No noise monitoring was conducted in the reporting period due to the over distant monitoring station from the works location.

During the reporting period, fifty-six (56) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action Level. Thirty (30) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained during the reporting quarter had exceeded the Limit Level.

After investigation, all exceedances were considered non-project related.

 

In this reporting period, 88 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch1+360 - Ch1+513). No exceedance of action and limit levels for methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide was observed. Monitoring was conducted during excavations at 1m depth or more within the consultation zone and whenever workers entered the excavation on the day.

Algal Bloom and red tide were observed outside intake shaft and near the beach on 14 and 15 March 2022 by Supervising Officer¡¦s Representative (SOR), contractor and ET during site inspection. Detail could be referring to Section 3.5.

Moreover, oil stains were observed outside the intake Shaft area on 7 March 2022 and near the Outfall Shaft on 23 & 29 April 2022 by Supervising Officer¡¦s Representative (SOR) and the Contractor during site inspection. No marine activity was carried out and all vessels were demobilized at both Intake & Outfall Shaft works area on that day. ET will keep closely monitoring the performance of Contractor, implementation of water quality mitigation measure and other contamination issue around the Project site, to ensure the EM&A requirement is properly implemented.

Weekly environmental site inspection was conducted during the reporting period. Minor deficiency was observed during site inspection and was rectified. The environmental performance of the project was therefore considered satisfactory.

According to the environmental site inspections performed in the reporting period, the Contractor is reminded to pay attention on maintaining proper materials storage.

No environmental complaint was received in the reporting period.

 

No notification of summons or prosecution was received since commencement of the Contract.

 

The ET will keep track on the construction works to confirm compliance of environmental requirements and the proper implementation of all necessary mitigation measures.
