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.
In accordance with the EM&A Manual, baseline noise level at the noise monitoring stations were established as presented in the Baseline Monitoring Report. Impact noise monitoring will be conducted once per week in the form of 30-minutes measurements Leq, L10 and L90 levels recorded at each monitoring station between 0700 and 1900 hours on normal weekdays.
Referring to EM&A manual Section 4.1.2, the impact noise monitoring should be carried out at all the designated monitoring stations when there are project-related construction activities undertaken within a radius of 300m from the monitoring stations.
No impact monitoring for noise impact was conducted in the reporting month 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.
Impact noise monitoring will be conducted weekly in the reporting period between 0700-1900 hours on normal weekdays. No construction works were carried out during 1900-0700 hours in all days or any time on Sundays or general holidays during the reporting period.
Construction noise level 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 hours on normal weekdays. Table 2.1 summarizes the monitoring parameters, frequency and duration of the impact noise monitoring.

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 will be required 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 will be carried out to allow any deteriorating water quality to be readily detected and timely action taken to rectify the situation. The status and locations of water quality sensitive receivers and the marine works location may change after issuing this Document. If required, the ET in consultation with IEC will propose updated monitoring locations and seek approval from EPD.
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.
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 updated testing plan shall be submitted by the ET to seek approval from the IEC and EPD.

mid-ebb and mid-flood tides on the same day. The tidal range selected for the
baseline monitoring will be at least 0.5 m for both flood and ebb tides as far
as practicable. The interval between two sets of monitoring would not be less
than 36 hours. The monitoring frequency would be increased in the case of
exceedances of Action/Limit Levels if considered necessary by ET. Monitoring
frequency would be maintained as far as practicable.
The monitoring location/position, time, water depth, water temperature, salinity, weather conditions, sea conditions, tidal stage, special phenomena and work underway at the marine works site will be recorded.
3.1.7. SAMPLING DEPTHS
& REPLICATION
For baseline monitoring, each station will be sampled and measurements/ water samples will be taken at three depths, 1 m below the sea surface, mid-depth and 1 m above the seabed. For stations that are less than 3 m in depth, only the mid depth sample shall be taken. For stations that are less than 6 m in depth, only the surface and seabed sample shall be taken. For in situ measurements, duplicate readings shall be made at each water depth at each station. Duplicate water samples shall be collected at each water depth at each station.
3.2.
MONITORING PROGRAMME
The ET of the Project had conducted the baseline water monitoring between 12 May 2020 to 6 Jun 2020 at the thirteen designated monitoring stations and the six designated monitoring at waters near TKO in accordance with the EM&A Manual and Contract Specification respectively. The monitoring results was presented in Baseline Water Quality Monitoring Report separately.
The commencement of marine construction and dredging activities for the Project are scheduled in November 2020 the earliest. The impact water monitoring shall be scheduled after the commencement of marine construction and dredging activities. Hence, no water monitoring was conducted during the reporting month.
The waste generated from
this Project includes inert construction and demolition (C&D) materials,
and non-inert C&D materials. Non- inert C&D materials are made up of
general refuse, vegetative wastes and recyclable wastes such as plastics and
paper/cardboard packaging waste. Steel materials generated from the project are
also grouped into non-inert C&D materials as the materials were not
disposed of with other inert C&D materials. With reference to relevant
handling records and trip tickets of this Project, the quantities of different
types of waste generated in the reporting month are summarised
in Table 4.1. Details of cumulative
waste management data are presented as a waste flow table in Appendix H.

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 PROGRAMME
For the part of the desalination plant and the indicative area of natural slope mitigation works fall within the SENT Landfill Extension Consultation Zone in this contract. Since the SENT Landfill Extension is still under construction, the Landfill gas monitoring shall be conducted after the commencement of operation of the SENT Landfill Extension which will be 2021 Quarter 3 according to the latest construction programme shown in the monthly EM&A Report of SENT Landfill Extension. The Contractor¡¦s safety officer shall keep review the necessity of landfill gas monitoring during the construction stage. No landfill gas monitoring was conducted in the reporting period.

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 project-related construction activities undertaken within a radius of 300m from the monitoring locations.
No impact water quality monitoring was conducted in the reporting month since the commencement of marine construction and dredging activities for the Project are scheduled in November 2020 the earliest.
No project-related exceedance of the Action Level was recorded during the reporting period. No notification of summons and prosecution was received in the reporting period.
Statistics on complaints and regulatory compliance are summarized in Appendix J.
Site inspections were carried out on a weekly basis to monitor the implementation of proper environmental pollution control and mitigation measures under the Contract. In the reporting period, site inspections were carried out on 4, 11, 18 & 27 August 2020 at the site portions list in Table 6.1 below.

During trenching
and excavation as well as creation of confined spaces at near to or below
ground level, precautions should be clearly laid down and rigidly Gas
detection equipment and appropriate breathing apparatus should be available
and used when entering confined spaces

The Contractor
should make the workers are aware of potential hazards of working in confined
spaces (any chamber, manhole or culvert
which is large enough to permit access to
personnel). Such
work in confined spaces is controlled by the Factories and Industrial
Undertakings (Confined Spaces) Regulations of
the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Ordinance. Following the
Safety Guide to Working in Confined Spaces ensures compliance with the above
regulations. |

Safety officers, specifically trained with regard to
landfill gas and leachate related hazards and the appropriate actions to take
in adverse circumstances, should be present on the site throughout the works,
in particular, when works are undertaken
below grade. |

Prior
to the commencement of the site works, the drilling contractor should devise
a 'method- of- working' statement covering all normal and emergency procedures (including but not limited
to number of operatives, experience and special
skills of operatives, normal method of operations,
emergency procedures, supervisors responsibilities,
storage and use of safety equipment, safety procedures and signs, barriers and
guarding). The
site supervisor and all operatives must be familiar with this statement. |

Where below
ground service entries are necessary to the Incoming Switchgear Room, 132 kV
Substation and Chlorine Store (I) and (II), the entry point should be sealed
to prevent gas entry. In addition, any below grade cable trenches entering
the Incoming Switchgear Room and 132 kV Substation can become the pathway for landfill
gas and hence grilled metal covers should |

regular landfill gas monitoring should be carried out at the Incoming
Switchgear Room, 132 kV Substation and Chlorine Store (I) and (II). The monitoring frequency will be monthly
for the first year of operation. If the monitoring results show no sign of landfill gas migration, reduce the
monitoring frequency to once every six months. |

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 need for venting the manhole/ utility pit and further
monitoring will be reviewed after the initial monitoring. |

personnel working on-site as well as visitors should be made aware of the
hazards of landfill gas and its possible presence on-site. This should be
achieved through a combination of posting warning signs in prominent places
and also by access to detailed
information on landfill gas hazards and the designs and procedural means by
which these hazards are being minimised on-site. |
