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;

⚫   Pre-operation – before operation phase

⚫   Operation phase – first year upon commissioning; and,

⚫   Continuous monitoring of effluent quality (Operation phase)

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

Marine Water Quality Monitoring

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 to be measured in the impact water quality monitoring are listed in Table 3.1.

5.      LANDFILL GAS MONITORING

5.1.     MONITORING REQUIREMENT  

Construction Phase

In according 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 freshwater 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.

Since part of the desalination plant (Wan Po Road and MIC compound/Basketball Court) and the indicative area of natural slope mitigation works fall within the SENT Landfill Extension Consultation Zone in this contract (Figure 5.1), landfill gas monitoring would be required for Wan Po Road and MIC compound/Basketball Court (Figure 5.2) if excavations were conducted at more than 300mm deep. Although SENT Landfill Extension has commenced operation since November 2021, no excavation works were conducted at MIC compound/Basketball Court. Hence no landfill gas monitoring would be scheduled for MIC compound/Basketball Court at the current stage.

 

Figure 5.1 Overview of the SENT Extension Consultation Zone and the Contract Site Area

 

 

                        Figure 5.2          Location Map for Landfill Gas Monitoring at Wan Po Road

Operation Phase

In accordance with Section 11 of the EM&A Manual, monthly monitoring of landfill gas is required for the first year of operation at buildings within the Project Site and 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 freshwater 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.

Routine monitoring is required at buildings within the Project Site and consultation zones.  The monitoring frequency will be monthly for the first year of operation.  

For the manholes and utility pits within the Project Site and along the fresh water mains, each manhole/ utility pit should be monitored with two measurements (at mid depth and base).  Each measurement should be monitored for a minimum of 10 minutes.  A steady reading and peak reading should be recorded at each manhole/ utility pit and for each measurement.  

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

5.1, Figure 5.3 and Figure 5.4.

6.      ECOLOGY (CORAL MONITORING)

Under the approval conditions of the EIA Report for the Project, an EM&A programme on coral for the construction, pre-operation and operation phase of the Project is recommended. Pursuant to these EIA approval conditions and Condition 3.1 of the EP and FEP, details of the regular coral monitoring programme have been proposed based on the baseline coral monitoring results in the Report on Pre-Operation Baseline Coral Monitoring and Regular Coral Monitoring Methodology.

MONITORING LOCATION

In accordance with Appendix B Section 5.1 of the approved supplementary EM&A Manual, two indirect impact sites (C2 and C3) and one control site (C8) as shown in Figure 6.1 should be monitored during the pre-operation Phase. Pre- operation coral survey should be conducted at the indirect impact and control sites. Ten selected hard coral colonies with similar species should be tagged at each of the control and indirect impact sites before commencement of the operation phase. Tagged hard coral colonies should be monitored in open waters during the pre- operation phase and operation phase.

 

Figure 6.1 Spot Dive Check Areas Two Proposed Indirect Impact Sites (C2 and C3) and one control site (C8) during pre-operation Phase 

ACTION AND LIMIT LEVELS

The Action and Limit Levels have been set based on the derivation criteria specified in the

EM&A Manual. The Action/Limit Levels have been derived and are presented in Table 6.1.

                   Table 6.1            Action and Limit Level for Coral Monitoring Equipment

Parameter

Action Level Definition

Limit Level Definition

Mortality

If during Impact Monitoring a 15% increase in the percentage of partial mortality on the corals occurs at more than 20% of the tagged indirect impact site coral colonies that is not recorded on the tagged corals at the control site, then the Action Level is exceeded

If during Impact Monitoring a 25% increase in the percentage of partial mortality on the corals occurs at more than 20% of the tagged indirect impact site coral colonies that is not recorded on the tagged corals at the control site, then the Limit Level is exceeded

Note: If the defined Action Level or Limit Level for coral monitoring is exceeded, the actions as set out in Table E3 of Appendix E will be implemented.

If non-compliance were found during the construction works, the actions in accordance with the Event and Action Plan will be carried out according to Appendix I.

MONITORING FREQUENCY

Construction phase coral monitoring shall be monitored on a weekly basis in the first month, monitoring frequency is reduced from weekly to monthly in second and third month and further reduce to quarterly in the remaining months.

Pre-operation phase and 1st year operation phase coral monitoring shall be monitored once per month in accordance with the approved supplementary EM&A Manual.

According to the approved proposal to change the operation phase EM&A programme for the 2nd to 10th year, coral monitoring will be conducted on a quarterly basis starting from August 2025.

MONITORING RESULT AND OBSERVATION

Construction phase coral monitoring commenced in March 2021. From March 2021 to Aug 2023, a total of twenty (20) monitoring was carried out in the reporting period. No AL/LL exceedances were recorded during the reporting period.

Consultation with AFCD, a total of six (6) coral colonies were re-tagged on 15 September 2022. A re-tagging survey was conducted in September 2022 and additional coral monitoring were conducted in September 2022 and October 2022.

Pre-operation phase coral monitoring commenced in December 2023. A total of six (6) monitoring was carried out in the reporting period. There were no AL/LL exceedances observed during the reporting period. The detailed result of the monitoring is presented in the Monthly EM&A Report.

Operation phase coral monitoring commenced in July 2024. A total of twelve (12) monitoring was carried out in the reporting period. There were no AL/LL exceedances observed during the reporting period. The detailed result of the monitoring is presented in the Monthly EM&A Report.

7.      ECOLOGY (FISHERY MONITORING)

The purpose of the pre-operation phase regular fisheries monitoring programme is to monitor the potential impacts on fisheries resources in the vicinity of the project site. Apart from the regular fisheries monitoring programme, a water quality monitoring programme in addition to the water quality monitoring programme in the approved EM&A Manual is also described in Section 2.4 to (i) provide supplementary information in the interpretation of the findings of the fisheries monitoring and (ii) assist the monitoring of the potential impact on the Tung Lung Chau Fish Culture Zone (FCZ) in Joss House Bay.

MONITORING LOCATION

In accordance with Section 2.3 of the approved Methodology Paper on Regular Fisheries Monitoring, it is recommended to set up six (6) fisheries monitoring locations in Joss House Bay and its vicinity to monitor the fisheries resources.

Two (2) sampling locations are set up in close proximity of the direct footprint of the proposed submarine utilities around TKO Area 137. These sampling locations represent the potential Project impact zones (i.e. areas at and in close proximity to the footprint of the proposed submarine utilities that will be directly affected by the Project works).

Two (2) gradient locations are proposed between the proposed submarine utilities and Tung Lung Chau FCZ to assist in the interpretation and identification of any potential fisheries impact in the vicinity of the FCZ.

Two (2) reference locations are proposed in the outer Joss House Bay between the waters of Tung Lung Chau and Fat Tong Mun. These reference locations are further away and will not be affected by the Project discharge (based on the EIA prediction) and will serve as control stations. Any significant fisheries impact identified at the reference locations should be caused by other natural factors or non-Project activities. The trends of fisheries conditions recorded in the reference locations will be used to assist in the interpretation of the trends of fisheries impact identified in the impact and gradient locations.

The coordinates of the proposed monitoring locations are shown in Figure 7.1.

 

Figure 7.1 Monitoring location of regular fishery monitoring during pre-operation Phase

MONITORING FREQUENCY

Pre-operation phase fishery monitoring shall be carried out 2 times in wet season (April to October) and 2 times in dry season (November to March) to examine the following: 

•         Fish species composition; 

•         Abundance: number of fish captured; 

•         Diversity of fish resources: species diversity and evenness; 

•         Size: range of total length; Biomass in weight; and  

•         Values of catches of commercial species: catch per unit effort (CPUE) and yield per unit effort (YPUE).

MONITORING RESULT AND OBSERVATION

A total of twelve (12) construction phase fishery monitoring were conducted during the reporting period, consisting of six (6) dry season and six (6) wet season assessments.

A total of two (2) pre-operation phase fishery monitoring were conducted during the reporting period, consisting of one (1) dry season and one (1) wet season assessment.

A total of four (4) operation phase fishery monitoring were conducted during the reporting period, consisting of two (2) dry season and two (2) wet seasons assessment.

Overall, the survey findings showed that the abundance and diversity of fish eggs and larvaeare on the low side of the Study Area, and the abundance and diversity of juveniles are very low for the Study Area. Survery findings also showed that there was a very week relationship in recorded families between ichthyoplankton assemblages, adult fish and juvenile fish in the Study Area, which implies that the Study Area does not appear to be an important spawning or nursery gorunds for commercial fishes.

 

              

8.      ECOLOGY(LANDSCAPE)

MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with Section 8.1 of the EM&A Manual, weekly site audit shall be carried out by the ET include checking whether good site practices are being properly implemented by the Contractor and the extent of the works area within the Clear Water Bay Country Park should be checked by the ET during the weekly site audit.
