2.0 SUMMARY
OF EM&A REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Air Quality
According to
Section 1.3 of the EM&A Manual, the captioned project involves minor road
widening works. Because of the short construction period (approximately 6 to 7
months), together with staged construction sequence of works which will limit
the extent of construction area at any one time. Therefore, air quality is
monitored by means of checking the adequacy of dust mitigation measures
implemented by the Contractor (Please refer to Section 2.1 of the EM&A
Manual or Section 2.3.1 of this report for dust mitigation measures). It is
anticipated that proper implementation of dust reduction measures will be
adequate to mitigate dust impacts and maintain Total Suspended Particulate (TSP)
concentration levels within those recommended under the Air Quality Objectives
(AQO) and no further air quality monitoring will be necessary.
All of the dust
monitoring locations identified in the EIA Study is located in the vicinity of
the proposed vehicular underpass (located at the Salisbury Road/Chatham Road
South junction), the monitoring works of which will be carried out as part of
the works east of Nathan Road by KCRC. Hence, the standard requirements of
collating Baseline Monitoring Results, calculation of Action and Limit Levels
etc. have been omitted from this report. These requirements will be fulfilled
under the EM&A for the works east of Nathan Road. Dust monitoring locations adjacent to the project
works area of the captioned project is shown in Appendix D.
Should there be
any obvious air quality deterioration as a result of the construction works,
the ET will perform additional monitoring using, for example, High Volume Sampler (HVS), to measure
TSP concentration levels so as to ensure that any deteriorating air quality can
be readily detected and timely action is to be taken to rectify the situation.
According to
Section 4.1 of the EM&A Manual, regular site inspections are carried out by
the ET at least once per week.
Additional monitoring will be performed
by the ET in the event of complaints from the local residents, and/or any
obvious indication of deterioration of air quality is observed.
2.1.1 Air
Sensitive Receivers
According to Section 7.4 of the Final
EIA Report, Peninsula Hotel, YMCA Hotel, Hong Kong Space Museum, Museum of Art
and Hong Kong Cultural Centre are identified as air sensitive receivers. Their
locations are shown in Appendix E.
2.1.2 Air
Quality Monitoring
According to
Section 1.3 of the EM&A Manual, it is anticipated that proper
implementation of dust reduction measures (see Section 2.1 of the EM&A
Manual or Section 3.5 of the Final EIA Report for details) will be adequate to
mitigate dust impacts and maintain TSP concentration levels within those recommended
under the Air Quality Objectives (AQO), and no further air quality monitoring
will be necessary.
Should the
Contractor does not implement appropriate dust mitigation measures properly
during construction phase and result in deterioration of air quality, and/or
complaints (including verbal complaints) are received from local residents, the
ET will perform TSP
concentration level measurement.
Monitoring
parameters
1. 24-hour TSP concentration level for
every week
2. 3x1-hour TSP concentration level for every
six days
2.1.3 Monitoring
Locations
Dust monitoring locations adjacent to
the project works area of the captioned project are shown in Appendix D.
According to Section 10.1.3 of the Final EIA Report, these dust monitoring
locations are closest to the air sensitive receivers affected by the captioned
project.
2.2 Noise
Though
requirements for noise monitoring has not been specified in the EM&A
Manual, during the course of site inspection carried out by the ET, the ET will
closely monitor construction noise. Should there be any obvious indication of
construction noise level exceedance observed by the ET during site inspections,
the ET will perform additional monitoring and will carry out noise monitoring
works to measure the exceedance of noise level, with reference to the Noise
Control Ordinance. Measurement of construction noise level will be carried out
using an Integrating Sound Level Meter with calibrator which complied with
EPD's requirements.
Additional monitoring will be performed
by the ET in the event of complaints from the local residents, and/or any
obvious indication of construction noise level exceedance is observed.
2.2.1 Noise
Sensitive Receivers
According to Section 4.3 of the Final
EIA Report, the noise standards only apply to dwellings relying on opened
windows for ventilation. Since central air-conditioning systems are provided
for all hotels which do not rely on openable windows for ventilation, these
noise sensitive receivers are less sensitive to noise impacts.
2.2.2 Noise Level Monitoring
During the
course of site inspection, the ET will closely monitor construction noise
levels.
Should there be
any obvious indication of construction noise level exceedance observed by the
ET during site inspections, and/or complaints (including verbal complaints) are
received from local residents, the ET will perform construction noise
measurement.
Monitoring
parameters
1. Leq (30 min) for the time
period between 0700-1900 hours on normal weekday
2. L10 and L90 (for
reference)
2.3 Environmental Mitigation Measures
2.3.1 Air Quality
Dust control and
mitigation measures to be implemented during the construction phase are listed
in Section 2.1 of the EM&A Manual and Sections 3.5 and 10.1.7 of the Final
EIA Report. Some environmental mitigation measures are as follows:
¡P
Use of regular watering to reduce dust emissions from exposed site
surfaces and unpaved roads, with complete coverage, particularly during dry
weather.
¡P
Use of frequent watering for
particularly dusty static construction areas and areas close to air quality
sensitive receivers.
¡P
Side enclosure and covering of any
aggregate or dusty material storage piles to reduce emissions. Where this is
not practicable owing to frequent usage, watering should be employed to
aggregate fines.
¡P
Tarpaulin covering of all dusty vehicle
loads transported to, from and between site locations.
¡P
Establishment and use of vehicle wheel
and body washing facilities at the exit points of the site, combined with
cleaning of public roads where necessary.
¡P
Imposition of speed controls for
vehicles and unpaved site roads.
¡P
Where feasible, routing of vehicles and
positioning of construction plant should be at maximum possible distance from
air quality sensitive receivers.
¡P
Instigation of an environmental
monitoring and auditing program to monitor the construction process in order to
enforce controls and modify methods of work if dusty conditions arise.
2.3.2 Noise
According to
Section 4.4 of the Final EIA Report, construction noise level experienced by
the noise sensitive receivers surrounding the project works area are
significantly reduced by with window insulation and central air-conditioning.
If the Contractor implements good site practices listed in Appendix H of the Final
EIA Report, construction noise level experienced by the noise sensitive
receivers will be further reduced. Some of these good site practices are as
follows:
¡P
The Contractor shall comply with and observe the Noise Control Ordinance
and its subsidiary regulations in force in Hong Kong.
¡P
Before the commencement of any works,
the Engineer may require the methods of working, equipment and sound-reducing
intended to be used on the site to be made available for inspection and
approval to ensure that they are suitable for the project.
¡P
The Contractor shall devise, arrange
methods of working and carry out the Works in such a manner so as to minimise
noise impacts on the surrounding environment, and shall provide experienced
personnel with suitable training to ensure that these methods are implemented.
The noise reduction methods shall include, but not be limited to,
scheduling of works, siting of facilities, selection of quiet equipment, and
use of purpose-built acoustic panels and enclosures.
¡P
The Contractor shall ensure that all
plant and equipment to be used on site are properly maintained in good
operating condition and noisy construction activities shall be effectively
sound-reduced by means of silencers, mufflers, acoustic linings or shields,
acoustic sheds or screens or other means to avoid disturbance to any nearby
noise sensitive receivers.
3.0 ADVICE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AND POLLUTION CONTROL/MITIGATION MEASURES
An
implementation schedule of environmental mitigation measures is attached in
Appendix F.
3.1 Environmental
Mitigation Measures implemented by the Contractor in August 2002
The
Contractor implemented adequate environmental mitigation measures to reduce
dust emissions to the air sensitive receivers adjacent to the project works
area by:
¡P
Tarpaulin covering of sand
and aggregate stockpiles temporarily stored on site to reduce dust emissions.
¡P
Removal of surplus
excavated materials from roadside to reduce dust emissions blown up by speedy
vehicles.
The
aforementioned environmental mitigation measures are also listed in Section 2.1
of the EM&A Manual and Section 2.3 of this EM&A Report.
During all site inspections carried out in August 2002,
weather condition is mainly fine.
There was strong wind on 19 August 2002 (Monday), and
typhoon signal no. 1 was hoisted. However, during the site inspection on 19
August 2002, no deterioration of air quality due to windblown dust was
observed.
4.1 Air
Quality
The Contractor had implemented adequate and effective
mitigation measures to reduce dust nuisance during execution of the Works.
Since most of the Works had been completed, most area of the site was tidied up
and hence visual impact of the construction works to surrounding environment
was minimal.
4.2 Noise
No obvious noise level exceedance was observed during
site inspections.
4.3 Adverse
effects on Air Quality and Noise Level from Non-construction Activities and/or
Activities from other Construction Sites
During the course of site inspection, no adverse
effects on air quality and noise level due to non-construction activities
and/or activities from other construction sites were observed.
5.0 RECORD OF NON-COMPLIANCE, COMPLAINTS, NOTIFICATIONS OF SUMMONS AND
SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS
5.1 Non-compliance
5.1.1 Air
quality
No non-compliance was identified during site
inspections in August 2002.
5.1.2 Noise
No non-compliance in construction noise level was
observed during site inspections in August 2002.
5.2 Complaints
and Verbal Complaints
No
written and verbal complaints were received in August 2002.
5.3 Notifications
of Summons and Successful Prosecutions
No notifications
of summons or successful prosecutions were received by the Contractor in August
2002.
6.0 Notes on the Joint EM&A Audit Conducted on 7 August 2002
The joint EM&A audit (the IEC, the Contractor and
the ER) conducted on 7 August 2002, no non-compliance items were identified on
site.
Following up the last joint EM&A audit on 4 July
2002, the chemical drum had been removed from the site.
After the joint EM&A audit conducted on 7 August
2002, the Contractor was reminded to:
1)
Cover the exposed site surface
within the drainage works area with tarpaulin; and
2)
Immediately remove small
piles of soil next to one of the trees.
The Contractor indicated that the construction works
would be completed by the end of August 2002.
The captioned project had been completed on 30 August 2002 and therefore
there are no future key issues.
8.0 ADVICE ON
THE SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT STATUS
The Contractor had carried
out adequate solid and liquid waste management during construction works in
accordance with the revised Waste Management Plan in August 2002.
8.1 Excess
Excavated Materials
The Contractor stockpiles
excavated materials which will be reused for landscaping and backfilling
temporarily on site. These excavated materials are covered with tarpaulin.
Excavated materials which
cannot be reused for backfilling were transported to either Tseung Kwan O
public filling area or Tolo Harbour Reclamation Area, according to the Waste
Management Plan. Such materials were covered with tarpaulin, which could
effectively reduce dust emissions during transportation.
8.2 Construction
Waste
According to the Waste
Management Plan, the Contractor separated construction wastes which could be
reused on site and recycled with those to be disposed of. This was carried out
by general workforce under supervision of Foremen and charge hands. For
example, timber (for formwork) was cleaned for reuse, steel was stored for
reuse, reinforcement was sorted into usable lengths for recycling or reuse on
site.
8.3 Demolition
Waste
None of the demolition
waste generated in the captioned project will be reused, according to the Waste
Management Plan. Such waste is transported to either Tseung Kwan O public
filling area or Tolo Harbour Reclamation Area.
8.4 Chemical
Waste
No chemical waste is
generated in the captioned project.
8.5 General
Refuse
The Contractor deposited
aluminium cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles in separately labelled bins
for recycling and reuse.
The Contractor
reduced office wastes through recycling of paper. Signs encouraging
environmental awareness, such as reducing the number of photocopies to a
minimum and using both sides of papers, etc., were put on in the Contractor¡¦s
site office.
