2.1. Monitoring Requirements

To ensure no adverse noise impact, 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.

2.2. Monitoring Locations

The monitoring locations were normally 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) was 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 2.1 below.

Table 2.1 Noise Sensitive Receivers

NSR ID	Noise Sensitive Receivers	Monitoring Location	Position

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

8. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This is the 3rd Annual EM&A Review Report for the Project which summarizes the key findings of the EM&A programme during the reporting period from 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2023, 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, in which construction activities were not undertaken within a radius of 300m from the monitoring locations.

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

Seven hundred and forty-four (744) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action level. Six hundred and eleven (611) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained during the reporting period had exceeded the Limit Level. All Action and Limit Level exceedances were unrelated to the project.

Details of the exceedance could be referring to Appendix O of the corresponding Monthly EM&A Report.

Four hundred and twenty-four (424) times of landfill gas monitoring were conducted in the reporting period. No action or limit level exceedance was recorded in the reporting period.

Weekly environmental site inspection was conducted during the reporting period. Minor deficiency was observed during site inspection. 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, site tidiness and chemical storage on site.

One environmental complaint was received from EPD on 22 July 2022 in the reporting period. Detailed information could be referred to the Monthly EM&A report in July 2022. No notification of summons or prosecution was received in the reporting period.
