The EM&A programme has been implemented in accordance with the recommendations presented in the approved EIA Report and the EM&A Manual. A summary of implementation status of the environmental mitigation measures for the construction phase of the Project during the reporting period is provided in Appendix C.
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.

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.
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.
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.
With the onset of marine dredging activities in late April at Outfall Shaft Area, a silt curtain efficiency test has been conducted at the Outfall Shaft Area on 16t April 2021 at 6 monitoring intervals (08:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00). The baseline monitoring event has been conducted on 10 April 2021 at 5 monitoring locations. Testing protocols and methodologies had followed the guidelines as presented in the EM&A Manual Annex C. Detailed analysis of in-situ and laboratory data was presented in a separate report which has been submitted to EPD after approval by IEC on 31 May 2021. The overall Silt Removal Effectiveness at Outfall Shaft Area for the combined used of cage and floating type silt curtains was 95.28%.
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.

General water quality monitoring at the ten monitoring stations (CE, CF, WSR1, WSR2, WSR3, WSR4, WSR16, WSR33, WSR36 and WSR37) were conducted on 2/12, 4/12, 7/12, 9/12, 11/12, 14/12, 16/12, 18/12, 21/12, 23/12, 25/12, 28/12, 30/12 and 1/1, 4/1, 6/1, 8/1, 11/1, 13/1, 15/1, 18/1 ,20/1, 22/1, 21/1, 27/1, 29/1, 31/1 and 4/2, 8/2, 10/2, 12/2, 15/2, 17/2, 19/2, 22/02, 24/2 and 26/2.
During the impact water quality monitoring period between December 2021 to February 2022, one hundred and ninety-three (193) of the general water quality monitoring results of suspended solids (SS) obtained had exceeded the Action Level. One hundred and thirty-two (132) 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 on 2/12, 4/12, 9/12, 11/12, 14/12, 16/12, 18/12, 21/12, 23/12, 25/12, 28/12 and 30/12, 1/01, 4/1, 6/1, 8/1, 11/1, 15/1, 18/1, 20/1, 22/1, 25/1, 27/1, 29/1 and 31/1, 4/2, 8/2, 10/2, 12/2, 15/2, 17/2, 19/2, 22/2, 24/2 and 26/2 were concluded to be unrelated to the project. Details of the instigation could be referring to Monthly EM&A Report Appendix O.

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.
The area required to be monitored for landfill gas in the reporting period is shown in Figure 5.1.
Figure 5.1 Overview of the SENT Extension Consultation Zone and the Project Site Area

The monitoring equipment used in the reporting period could be referring to Section 5.6 of the Monthly EM&A Report.
In this reporting period, 66 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch1+625 - 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.
The Environmental Complaint Handling Procedure is shown in below Figure 6.1:
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 impact monitoring period between December 2021 to February 2022, one hundred and ninety-three (193) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action Level. One hundred and thirty-two (132) 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.

ACJCJ¡¦s Environmental Office received a text message on 14 January 2022 from EPD inspector claiming that susceptible oil spillage at the water surface nearby to Outfall Shaft was observed during their routine drone check on 13 January 2022. The message from EPD was relayed to ET by AJCJV on 15 January 2022. Immediate investigation by AJCJV has been made after the acknowledgement of the incident, whilst implementing emergency clean up measure on any residue oil spillage. After investigation, the oil spillage was unlikely originated from the Outfall Shaft. The incident may therefore be considered as non-project related. Detail of the incident could be referring to Monthly EM&A Report Appendix O.
Moreover, oil stains were also observed at CEDD pier after leaving of Explosives Vessel on 28 January, 9 and 23 February 2022 by Supervising Officer¡¦s Representative (SOR) during site inspection. 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.
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 7, 15, 22 and 31 December 2021, 4, 11, 18, 26 and 31 January 2022, 8, 17, 23 and 28 February 2022.
Minor deficiencies were observed during weekly site inspection. Key observations during the site inspections are summarized below:
- Storage of chemicals and construction materials on-site was not conducted properly
- Housekeeping of drainage channel
- Underground seepage marine water was not by-pass through an uncontaminated isolation system.
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.
This is the 8th Quarterly EM&A Report for the Project which summarizes the key findings of the EM&A programme during the reporting period from 1 December 2021 to 28 February 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 impact monitoring period between December 2021 to February 2022, one hundred and ninety-three (193) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action Level.
