Route 8 Phase 1 – Ngong Shuen Chau Viaduct Highways Department Monthly EM&A Report –May 2004

Water Quality ES 9 A total of 3 Effluent Discharge Licenses had been granted by EPD. In accordance with the conditions of the licenses, water sampling at designated discharge points shall be carried out on a monthly basis for area P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9) and on a quarterly basis for areas P1-SA1 (Grid 10 to 27), P1-SA6, P1-SA8, P1-SA10, P1-SA11, P1-SA13 and P1-SA15. ES 10 A total 7 water samples had been taken on 28th May 2004. The results for these samples will be reported in the next EM&A Report. In addition, pH and COD were also analysed to ensure the quality of the water discharged fully complied with the stipulated limits in the approved licenses. Suspended Solids level of 3 water samples taken at P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9) on the 28th April 2004 were below the Limit Level. The next sampling is scheduled to be taken in June 2004 for P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9) and in August 2004 for other areas. ES 11 Sandbag barriers had been placed along the site boundary of area P1-SA1 (Grid 9, roundabout CP3END) to avoid surface runoff overflowing outside the site. The temporary drainage system will be implemented before the commencement of earthworks in this area. ES 12 Most of the temporary drainage system at P1-SA1 (Grid 11 to 26, Container Port Road E/B) had been completed apart from a small section of ditch channels along the site boundary next to CT8 where the bentonite pipes are located. Sandbag barriers had been provided along this section of the site boundary as an interim measure. The construction work of ditch channel is now in progress and tentatively to be completed by early June 2004. ES 13 For the remaining area of P1-SA1 (Grid 10 to Grid 27, Container Port Road W/B), most of ground had been paved with bituminous material. CHEC reported that once the construction is completed it would serve as a temporary public road and the run-off control for this area during re-alignment works is currently under review by CHEC and will be submitted in due course. In the meantime, exposed earth had been covered by impervious sheet and sandbag barriers had been deployed to avoid run-off being discharged into existing storm water drains or overflowed to adjacent land / public road. ES 14 For P1-SA6 Bus Depot, the sedimentation tank no. 1 had been relocated at the lowest point at Pier SB39. However, the inlet level of sedimentation tank seems higher than adjacent ground level and remedial actions will be taken by CHEC to rectify this issue. The revised Comprehensive Drainage Proposal for P1-SA6 is currently under review by CHEC and will be submitted in due course. Waste Management ES 15 1055 no. of trucks, approximately 6330m3 of inert C&D material were delivered to Kai Tak Public Fill Barging Point (KTBP) during the reporting period.

i. A certified orifice transfer standard with a calibration curve was used for the calibration. ii. The transfer standard was connected to the inlet of the sampler. The orifice manometer was then connected to the orifice pressure port. The manometer’s connecting tubing was inspected to make sure that there are no leaks between the orifice unit and the sampler. iii. The motor was then disconnected from the flow controller and plugged directly to an AC power source. iv. A weather station has been setup at the Site Office to measure and record the ambient temperature, Ta (K) and the barometer pressure Pa (mmHg) during calculation. v. The sampler was allowed to run for at least 2 minutes to re-establish the run temperature conditions. The pressure drop across the orifice and the well-type manometer reading was recorded during calibration. The variable resistance was adjusted to repeat recording for four different flow rates. vi. The best fit straight line was determined by linear regression and the slope (m1), intercept (b1) and correlation coefficient (r) are then determined.

3.1.8 Operating/Analytical Procedure i. The flow rate of the high volume sampler was set to about 1.1 m3/min - 1.7 m3/min prior to commencement of the dust sampling in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction to within the range recommended in USEPA Standard Title 40, CFR Part 50. ii. The samplers was located such that: a. the filter was about 1.3 meters above ground. b. it was greater than 20 meters away from trees. c. it was separated from any obstacle by at least twice the height of the obstacle protruding above the sampler. d. it has unrestricted airflow 270° around the sampler. iii. Fiberglass filters were used for TSP sampling (G810) [Note: these filters have a collection efficiency of > 99% for particles of 0.3 mm diameter. iv. All filters were equilibrated in the conditioning environment for 24 hours before weighing. The conditioning environment has a temperature setting between 25°C and 30°C and should not vary by more than ±3°C; the relative humidity was < 50% and should not vary by more than ±5%. v. A new filter was placed with stamped number upward on a supporting screen. vi. The filter was properly aligned on the screen so that the gasket formed an air-tight seal on the outer edges of the filter. vii. Shelter lid closed and catch secured with the aluminum strip. viii. The sampler was then allowed to run for at least 5 minutes to establish run-temperature conditions. ix. The flow indicator reading was recorded and the sampler flow rate was determined. x. The programmable timer was set and the starting sampling time, weather condition and the filter number was recorded. xi. At the end of sampling, the filter was transferred from the filter holder of the HVS to a sealable plastic bag and sent to the laboratory for weighing. The elapsed time was also recorded. xii. Before weighing, all filters were equilibrated in a desiccator for 24 hours with temperature of 25°C±3°C and the relative humidity (RH) 50%±5%, preferably 40%.

7.2 Noise

7.2.1 A total of 8 sets of Leq(30min) measurement during daytime (i.e. 0700 to1900 hours on normal weekdays) were carried out during the reporting period and all measured levels were below the Limit Level.

7.2.2 A total of 4 sets of 6 x Leq(5min) measurement during evening-time (i.e. 1900 to 2300 hours on normal weekdays) were carried out during the reporting period at NSR1. All measured levels were below the Limit Level.

7.2.3 A total of 4 sets of 6 x Leq(5min) measurement during public holiday (i.e. 0700 to 1900 hours during public holiday) were carried out at NSR1. All measured levels were below the Limit Level. 7.3 Water Quality 7.3.1 A total of 3 Effluent Discharge Licenses had been granted by EPD. In accordance with the conditions of the licenses, water sampling at designated discharge points shall be carried out on a monthly basis for area P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9) and on a quarterly basis for area P1-SA1 (Grid 10 to 27), P1-SA6, P1-SA8, P1-SA10, P1-SA11, P1-SA13 and P1-SA15. 7.3.2 A total 7 water samples had been taken on 28th May 2004. The results for these samples will be reported in the next EM&A Report. In addition, pH and COD were also analysed to ensure the quality of the water discharged fully complied with the stipulated limits in the approved licenses. Suspended Solids level of 3 water samples taken at P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9) on the 28th April 2004 were below the Limit Level. The next sampling is scheduled to be taken in June 2004 for P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9) and in August 2004 for other areas. 7.3.3 Sandbags were placed along the site boundary of area P1-SA1 (Grid 9, roundabout CP3END) to avoid surface runoff overflowing outside the site. The temporary drainage system will be implemented before the commencement of earthworks in this area. 7.3.4 Most of the temporary drainage system at P1-SA1 (Grid 11 to Grid 26, Container Port Road E/B) had been completed apart from a small section of ditch channels along the site boundary next to CT8 where the bentonite pipes are located. Sandbag barriers had been provided along this section of the site boundary as an interim measure. The construction work of ditch channel is now in progress and tentatively completed on early June 2004. 7.3.5 For the remaining area of P1-SA1 (Grid 10 to Grid 27, Container Port Road W/B), most of ground had been paved with bituminous material. CHEC reported that once the construction is completed it would serve as a temporary public road and the run-off control for this area during re-alignment works is currently under review by CHEC and will be submitted in due course. In the meantime, exposed earth had been covered by impervious sheet and sandbag barriers had been deployed to avoid run-off being discharged into existing storm water drains or overflowed to adjacent land / public road. 7.3.6 For P1-SA6 Bus Depot, the sedimentation tank no. 1 had been relocated at the lowest point at Pier SB39. However, the inlet level of sedimentation tank seems higher than adjacent ground level and remedial actions will be taken by CHEC to rectify this issue. The revised Comprehensive Drainage Proposal for P1-SA6 is currently under review by CHEC and will be submitted in due course.

11

Route 8 Phase 1 – Ngong Shuen Chau Viaduct Highways Department Monthly EM&A Report –May 2004

i. Better surface run-off control should be provided to divert run-off into adequate designed sand / silt removal facilities prior to discharge at P1-SA1. Corrective and Preventive Actions – All site areas/boundary have been either protected by sandbag barriers, cement sealed concrete barriers or intercepting channels to avoid overflowing of surface run-off on to adjacent sites. Sedimentation facilities for areas Grid 1 to 8 and Grid 10 to 26 (Container Port Rd E/B) had been fully implemented. More details of the drainage can be found in Section 7.3.3 to 7.3.5. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 01 to 05) ii. Silty run-off had been seeping from bottom of the sealed concrete barrier on to the adjacent Lai Po Road at P1-SA6 Bus Depot near Pier SB39. The capacity of sedimentation tank no.1 also seemed inadequate and silty water was seen being discharged into nearby storm water drain. Corrective and Preventive Actions – The discharge was immediately stopped and the sedimentation tank no. 1 has subsequently been relocated at the lowest point at Pier SB39 for treating surface run-off prior to discharge and the accumulated soil and silt had been cleaned. However, the inlet level of sedimentation tank seemed higher than adjacent ground level and remedial actions must be taken by CHEC to rectify this issue as a matter of urgency. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 06 and 07) iii. The capacity of de-silting facilities was inadequate to handle groundwater generated from the pile cap construction area at P1-SA1 (Pier E1-23 and E1-24). Corrective and Preventive Actions – Soakaway pits had been excavated to handle the groundwater pumped out from the pile cap construction. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 08) iv. Stagnant water and silt was found in surface channels and de-silting facilities at P1-SA1 and P1-SA6. Corrective and Preventive Actions – The surface channels and de-silting facilities have been cleaned. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 09 and 10) Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) Site Audit 7.5.3 The monthly IEC audit was conducted on 14th May 2004 and 3 observations were recorded which are presented below. i. Deposited silt / sand / rocks were observed accumulating in the collection pits next to the wheel washing bay at P1-SA1 (Grid 1 to 9). Corrective and Preventive Actions – The collection pits had been cleaned. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 11) ii. Several stagnant water ponds were found at P1-SA6 (Bus Depot). Corrective and Preventive Actions – Water ponds had been filled. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 12) iii. Silty water discharge from sedimentation tank and seepage from bottom of the sealed concrete barrier on to Lai Po Road adjacent P1-SA6 (Bus Depot) was observed. Corrective and Preventive Actions – Please refer to Section 7.5.2 Item 2.

Environmental Protection Department (EPD) Site Inspection 7.5.4 Site inspection was carried by EPD on 17th May 2004 and the following salient points were raised and summarized as below. i. Ditch / u-channel or other similar means shall be provided along the boundary adjacent to P1-SA1 (Container Port Road W/B) to avoid construction run-off flowing into the public road. In addition, channels, earth bunds or sandbag barriers shall be provided to direct surface run-off into adequately designed sand / silt removal facilities prior discharge. Corrective and Preventive Actions – Sandbag barriers had been deployed to avoid run- off being discharged into existing storm water drains or overflowed to adjacent land / public road. However, CHEC was urged to submit the arrangement proposal of run-off control during re-alignment works and maintain sandbag barriers properly at all time. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 03) ii. 2 layers of sandbags shall be provided along all boundaries where there is no physical barrier such as concrete wall or perimeter channel at P1-SA1 to avoid construction run- off (if any) flowing into adjacent area. Corrective and Preventive Actions – Concrete bunds or sandbag barriers have been deployed at the boundaries. . (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 13 to 15) iii. The ditch channel along the site boundary at P1-SA1 (Container Port Road E/B) next to CT8 shall be implemented as soon as possible. Corrective and Preventive Actions – Sandbag barriers have been provided along the incompleted part of ditch channel as an interim measure. The construction work of ditch channel is now in progress and will tentatively be completed in early June 2004. (Please refer to Appendix Q, Photo 02)
