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.

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. Details of cumulative waste management data are presented as a waste flow table in Appendix F.

 

 

 

 

 


5.            Landfill Gas Monitoring

 

 

5.1.           Monitoring Requirement

 

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.

6.   Ecology (Coral Monitoring)

 

Under the approval conditions of the EIA Report for the Project, an EM&A programme on coral for the pre-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.

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 G.

Monitoring Frequency

Pre-operation phase coral monitoring shall be monitored once per month as the requirement of the first year of operational phase.

Monitoring Result and Observation

 

Pre-operation phase coral monitoring was commenced in December 2023. There were no AL/LL exceedances observed during the reporting period. The detailed result of the monitoring is presented in Appendix I of 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

Pre-operation phase fishery monitoring for dry season 2024 was carried out on 17 and 24 February 2024. There is no AL/LL exceedance during the reporting period. The detailed result of the monitoring is presented in No. 50 April 2024 Monthly EM&A Report.

9.                     Conclusions and Recommendations

 

This is the 4th 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 2023 to 30 April 2024, in accordance with the EM&A Manual and the requirement under FEP - 01/503/2015/A and FEP - 01/503/2015/B.

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.

Construction Phase Impact Water Quality Monitoring was conducted as schedule in the reporting period. One hundred and fourteen (114) action level exceedances and ninety- two (92) limit level exceedances of Suspended Solid were recorded in the reporting period. Pre-operation Phase Impact Water Quality Monitoring was conducted as schedule in the reporting period. One hundred and fifty-seven (157) action level exceedances and one hundred and nine (109) limit level exceedances of Suspended Solid were recorded in the reporting periodAll Action and Limit Level exceedances were unrelated to the project.

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

Total eleven (11) of dechlorinated effluent sample were taken during the discharge of dechlorinated effluent by contractor. No TRC exceedance of action or limit levels was obtained during the discharge of dechlorinated effluent.

Nine hundred and seventy-three (973) times of landfill gas monitoring were conducted in the reporting period. No action or limit level exceedance was recorded in the reporting period.

Pre-operation phase coral monitoring was commenced in December 2023. There were no AL/LL exceedances observed during the reporting period.

Pre-operation phase fishery monitoring for dry season 2024 was carried out on 17 and 24 February 2024. There is no AL/LL exceedance during 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 (1) environmental complaint was received from EPD on 23 January 2024 in the reporting period. Detailed information could be referred January 2024 monthly EM&A report. No notification of summons or prosecution was received in the reporting period.
