4. Monitoring Results

4.1 Impact Monitoring Schedule in July 2004

Regular site inspections were carried out to assess whether the project's environmental protection and pollution control measures are in compliance with the contract specifications. Inspections were conducted on 8, 15, 22 and 29 July 2004.

Air quality monitoring has not commenced yet as no significant work areas or construction activities with the potential to impact air quality are within range of the closest air quality sensitive receivers (ASR). An ad-hoc 1-hour TSP measurement was undertaken at the PLA Central Barracks on 13 July 2004 to assess whether air quality monitoring is required at this stage of the project works. The measurement recorded an 1-hour TSP level of 126 mg/m³, which is below the average 1-hour TSP concentration recorded during baseline monitoring. Based on this information, there is no indication to suggest that significantly dusty construction activities with the potential to impact air quality are within range of the ASR at this stage.

Continuous 24-hour noise monitoring was conducted during this reporting period.

Impact water quality monitoring at all monitoring stations was undertaken during this reporting month. The water quality monitoring schedule for July 2004 is presented in Table 4-1.

4.4 Impact Monitoring Results

4.4.1 Air Quality & Noise Monitoring Results

No air quality monitoring work was undertaken during the reporting period as no significantly dusty construction activities with the potential to impact air quality are within range of the closest air quality sensitive receivers.

An ad-hoc 1-hour TSP measurement was undertaken at the PLA Central Barracks on 13 July 2004 to assess whether air quality monitoring is required at this stage of the project works. During the dust measurement, site observations noted that minor construction works for the cooling watermains at Lung Wui Road was undertaken. The measurement recorded an 1-hour (14:58 to 15:58 hours) TSP level of 126 mg/m³, which is well below the average 1-hour TSP concentration recorded during baseline monitoring. Based on this information, there is no indication to suggest that significantly dusty construction activities with the potential to impact air quality are within range of the ASR at this stage.

Noise quality monitoring work was undertaken during the reporting period. The noise monitoring results are provided in Annex F. Graphical representation of the noise monitoring data is provided in Annex G.

4.4.2 Water Quality Monitoring Results

Water quality monitoring was undertaken at all water quality monitoring locations during the reporting period. The water quality monitoring results from this reporting period are presented in Annex H. Graphical representation of the water quality data is provided in Annex I. Summaries of the results are provided in Tables 4.5 to 4.9.

Marine-Based Stations

Monitoring stations M8 and M10 were selected as the marine-based impact stations as they are located outside the predicted influence of the dredging and reclamation works. The detection of water quality degradation at these two stations may indicate that project marine works are adversely affecting water quality in Victoria Harbour. Stations M7 and M9 are within the expected influence of the reclamation activities and are located along the works area boundary (or extent of the predicted sediment plume). As such, M7 and M9 are used as indicator stations to note any significant elevations in SS, turbidity or reductions in DO that may affect the marine-based impact monitoring stations.

Table 4.5 is a summary of the marine-based stations monitoring results during mid-ebb tide.

As Table 4.5 shows, DO levels at marine-based impact stations (M8 & M10) in the surface to middle layer during mid-ebb survey ranged between 3.8 and 7.7 mg/L with an average value of 5.9 mg/L and DO measurements in the bottom layer ranged from 3.4 to 6.7 mg/L with an average level of 4.7 mg/L. Similar DO levels were recorded at the control stations at which DO levels in the surface to middle layer during mid-ebb survey ranged from 4.0 to 7.3 mg/L with an average value of around 5.9 mg/L; DO measurements in the bottom layer ranged between 3.1 and 6.1 mg/L with an average level of 4.5 mg/L.

SS levels during mid-ebb tide ranged from 3 to 9 mg/L with an average value of 5 mg/L at the marine-based impact stations (M8 & M10), which is comparable to results from the control stations in which SS content ranged from 3 to 9 mg/L with an average of 5 mg/L. The results showed no clear gradient effect (high SS and low DO levels from near-field stations M7 and M9 to far-field stations M8 and M10), which indicates that dredging works are not adversely affecting marine water quality outside the work site boundary in Victoria Harbour. Marine water quality at impact monitoring stations was found to be similar to that at the control stations also indicating that project marine works were generally not adversely affecting water quality in Victoria Harbour.

Table 4.6 is a summary of monitoring results from marine-based stations during mid-flood tide.

	sd	1.4	0.8	16.7	1.4	1.9

During mid-flood tide, DO levels at marine-based impact stations (M8 & M10) in the surface to middle layer ranged from 3.9 to 9.5 mg/L with an average level of 5.9 mg/L while DO values in the bottom layer ranged between 3.5 and 6.5 mg/L with an average of 4.7 mg/L. Similar DO concentrations were recorded at the control stations in the surface to middle layer during mid-flood survey ranged between 4.2 and 8.2 mg/L with an average value of 5.7 mg/L and DO results in the bottom layer ranged from 3.1 and 5.9 mg/L with an average of 4.3 mg/L.

SS content ranged between 3 and 11 mg/L (for stations M8 & M10) with an average of 5 mg/L during mid-flood tide and ranged from 3 to 10 mg/L with an average value of 5 mg/L at the control stations. Again, the results showed no clear gradient effect and no significant difference between control stations and marine-based impact stations. Therefore, the marine-based station results indicate that during the reporting month the dredging works were not adversely affecting water quality outside the work site boundary.

Seawater intake results during mid-ebb tide, Table 4.7, show that DO levels ranged from 3.1 to 7.5 mg/L with an average of 5.4 mg/L. SS ranged between 3 and 27 mg/L with an average value of 7 mg/L. The monitoring results show that water quality at seawater intake stations was generally good. Low DO levels at the intake stations were recorded during the reporting month but investigations found that they were not due to project works. Elevated SS levels at M4, M6 and M11 were found on 23, 26 and 28 July 2004. These levels were investigated and it was found that the elevated SS levels may have been attributed to marine works. As such, actions were undertaken in accordance with the Event and Action Plan for water quality and daily monitoring of SS was initiated. The results from 30 July and 31 July 2004 show that SS levels reduced significantly and no exceedances were recorded for the two consecutive days.

During mid-flood survey, Table 4.8 shows that DO levels at seawater intake stations ranged from 3.4 to 6.5 mg/L with an average of 5.1 mg/L. SS ranged from 5 to 18 mg/L with an average SS content of 9 mg/L. The above results show that water quality during mid-flood tide was also generally good. Again, low DO levels were found but these were found to be not due to project works. The elevated SS levels found at stations M4, M6 and M11 on 23, 26 and 28 July were investigated as mentioned previously. Appropriate actions were undertaken in accordance with the Event and Action Plan following the elevated SS levels. It was noted that SS levels decreased significantly on 30 July and 31 July and no SS exceedances were recorded during the two consecutive days.

4.4.3 Waste Management

No waste management audit was scheduled within this reporting period. The arrangement of waste management audit is detailed in the Waste Management Plan.

4.4.4 Landscape and Visual

As the major construction activities undertaken during the reporting month were related to marine works, the landscape and visual impacts are considered to be minimal.
