Other than the EM&A work by ET, environmental briefings, trainings and regular environmental management meetings were conducted, in order to enhance environmental awareness and closely monitor the environmental performance of the contractors.
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.
NOISETo 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.
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.

The monitoring locations should normally be 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) should be 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 2.2 below.

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.
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.

WATER QUALITYIn 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.
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 measured in the
impact monitoring are listed in Table

Notes:
i.
"Depth-averaged" is calculated by taking the arithmetic means of reading
of all three depths.
ii.
For DO, non-compliance of the water
quality limits occurs when monitoring result is lower than the limits.
iii.
For Turbidity, SS, iron and Salinity, non-compliance of the water quality limits
occurs when monitoring result is higher than the limits.
General water quality monitoring at the ten monitoring stations (CE, CF, WSR1, WSR2, WSR3, WSR4, WSR16, WSR33, WSR36 and WSR37) were conducted as scheduled in the reporting month.
Seventy-seven (77) of the general water quality monitoring results of suspended solids (SS) obtained had exceeded the Action Level. Fifty-nine (59) 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 were concluded to be unrelated to the project. Details of the instigation could be referred to Monthly EM&A Report Appendix O

Waste 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 period are summarized in Table 4.1. Details of cumulative waste
management data are presented as a waste flow table in Appendix G.

LANDFILL GAS MONITORINGIn 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.
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.
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.

The monitoring equipment used in the reporting period could be referring to Section 5.10 - 5.11 of the Monthly EM&A Report.
In this reporting period, 207 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch0+390 - Ch0+780). 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 Location Map for Landfill Gas Monitoring at TKO Area 137 are shown in Figure 5.2 and 5.3.

SUMMARY OF EXCEEDANCE, COMPLAINT, NOTIFICATION OF SUMMONS AND
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 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 reporting period, seventy-seven (77) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action Level. Fifty-nine (59) 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.
In this reporting period, 207 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch0+390 - Ch0+780). 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.
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 environmental complaint, 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 6, 13, 20, and 27 June 2023, 4, 11, 18 and 25 July 2023, and 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 August 2023.
Minor deficiencies were observed during weekly site inspection. Key observations during the site inspections are summarized below:
- The Contractors are reminded to remove the chemical containers along the haul road of the open channel either proper storage or disposed to avoid possible leakage or contamination.
- Chemical containers found near the Chemical Building shall be stored on a drip tray to prevent leakage.
- The chemical containers found near mechanic workshop, combined Shaft area shall be properly stored or stored on a drip tray.
- The Chemical containers found near the R.O. Building shall be stored on a drip tray or proper storage.
- The chemical containers found near the R.O. Building shall store on a drip tray or provide proper storage to prevent leakage.
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.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSThis is the 14th Quarterly EM&A Report for the Project which summarizes the key findings of the EM&A programme during the reporting period from 1 June 2023 to 31 August 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.
During the reporting period, seventy-seven (77) of the general water quality monitoring results of SS obtained had exceeded the Action Level. Fifty-nine (59) 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.
In this reporting period, 207 times of landfill gas monitoring were recorded at Wan Po Road (Ch0+390 - Ch0+780). 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.
Weekly environmental site inspection was conducted during the reporting period. Minor deficiency was observed during site inspection and was rectified. 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.
No environmental complaint, notification of summons or prosecution was received since commencement of the Contract.
The ET will keep track on the construction works to confirm compliance of environmental requirements and the proper implementation of all necessary mitigation measures.
