4. Monitoring Results

4.1 Impact Monitoring Schedule in October 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 7, 14, 21 and 28 October 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).

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 October 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.

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 4.2 and 5.6 mg/L with an average value of 5.0 mg/L and DO measurements in the bottom layer ranged from 4.2 to 5.4 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 3.9 to 5.2 mg/L with an average value of around 4.5 mg/L; DO measurements in the bottom layer ranged between 3.7 and 5.1 mg/L with an average level of 4.3 mg/L.

SS levels during mid-ebb tide ranged from 5 to 13 mg/L with an average value of 7 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 5 to 12 mg/L with an average of 8 mg/L. Generally, 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 marine 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.

During mid-flood tide, DO levels at marine-based impact stations (M8 & M10) in the surface to middle layer ranged from 4.2 to 5.7 mg/L with an average level of 4.9 mg/L while DO values in the bottom layer ranged between 4.0 and 5.5 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 3.9 and 5.2 mg/L with an average value of 4.5 mg/L and DO results in the bottom layer ranged from 3.8 and 4.9 mg/L with an average of 4.4 mg/L.

SS content ranged between 6 and 10 mg/L (for stations M8 & M10) with an average of 8 mg/L during mid-flood tide and ranged from 6 to 13 mg/L with an average value of 8 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 Stations

Seawater intake results during mid-ebb tide, Table 4.7, show that DO levels ranged from 2.7 to 5.3 mg/L with an average of 4.1 mg/L. SS ranged between 6 and 18 mg/L with an average value of 11 mg/L. 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 were found on 1, 4, 6, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 25 October 2004. These levels were investigated and it was found that they were generally due to poor ambient conditions and/or influences not related to project works. However, the exceedances recorded on 20 October may be attributable to project marine works.

Table 4.8 is a summary of monitoring results from seawater intake stations during mid-flood tide.

During mid-flood survey, Table 4.8 shows that DO levels at seawater intake stations ranged from 2.4 to 5.3 mg/L with an average of 4.1 mg/L. SS ranged from 7 to 30 mg/L with an average SS content of 12 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 on 1, 4, 6, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 25 October 2004 were investigated and were found that to be generally due to poor ambient conditions and/or influences not related to project works. However, the exceedances recorded on 18, 20 and 25 October may be attributable to project marine works.

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.

5. Environmental Complaint and Non-Compliance

5.1 Environmental Exceedances

The total number of exceedances for air, noise and water quality are presented in following sections.

5.1.1 Air Quality

No air quality monitoring work was undertaken during the reporting period.

5.1.2 Noise Quality

Noise quality exceedances were recorded on 1, 16, 21 and 23 October 2004. The exceedances were investigated and it was found that the exceedances on 1, 21 and 23 October were not due to the project works. However, the exceedance recorded on 16 October was likely attributed to the cooling watermains work in front of City Hall. One excavator-mounted breaker was used for breaking concrete surfacing at the works area.

The Event Action Plan for noise quality was followed and all relevant parties were informed of the exceedances. The Contractor advised that the concrete breaking work is substantially complete, and therefore, no significantly noisy construction activities near City Hall are expected to continue. The Contractor also advised that should breaking works need to be carried out again near City Hall, they would use a handheld breaker instead of an excavator mounted breaker and would install a portable noise barrier in front of the works to mitigate noise. Subsequent noise monitoring found no further exceedances attributed to project works.

5.1.3 Water Quality

During the reporting period, exceedances of the water quality criteria were generally found to be not caused by the project works. The ambient water quality throughout Hong Kong waters was found to be relatively poor, with low DO levels and relatively high SS concentrations being recorded at the control stations on a few occasions. Visual observations of the harbour during the reporting month noted that the water clarity was very poor and floating debris was observed throughout Victoria Harbour, including areas well beyond the project site.

Elevated concentrations of SS were recorded on 1, 4, 6, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 25 October 2004. These exceedances were investigated and were found to be attributable to poor ambient conditions and/or influences not related to project works. The investigations generally found no significant gradient effects between those stations close to the project works and those more remote to the works area. For example, station M12, which is located more than 1 km away from the works area, would record SS levels that are similar to those found at stations closer to the project works.

It was found that the exceedances recorded on 18, 20 and 25 October, however, might have been attributable to project marine works. The marine works in question include placing of underlayer armour stone works and dredging for the IRAE temporary seawall. Following the exceedances, the Contractor has replaced the damaged silt screen at station M4 and has installed an additional layer of nonporous geotextile around the existing silt curtain used for dredging works.

Additional SS monitoring was also conducted at Queensway Government Offices (QGO) outfall and Culvert J during the reporting month to observe the impacts from outfall discharges. For the exceedances recorded on 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20 and 25 October 2004, the additional SS monitoring results indicated that SS levels the QGO outfall were relatively high. As such, elevated SS levels in the surrounding area (e.g. stations M5 and M6) may have been significantly influenced by these discharges. Further, on 6, 13, 18 and 20 October, high SS levels were recorded at Culvert J indicating that water quality in the surrounding area (e.g. station M4) may have been significantly influenced by this discharge.

Although DO levels below the Action and Limit Levels were observed at the seawater intakes and marine-based stations, the investigations found that they were due to natural variation or changes in ambient conditions and not caused by the project marine works. It was noted that when the DO Action and/or Limit Levels were exceeded at the marine-based stations the control stations recorded similar DO levels. Further, the results generally do not show any significant gradient effect between stations close to the marine works and stations more remote to the works area.

5.1.4 Waste Management

No non-compliances with regard to waste management were recorded in the reporting month.

5.1.5 Landscape and Visual

No non-compliance with regard to landscape and visual aspects were recorded in the reporting month.

5.1.6 Site Environmental Audit

No environmental non-compliances were found during environmental site inspections conducted during the reporting period. A joint site inspection with the IEC was conducted on 21 October 2004, and the IEC's site inspection report is provided in Annex K.

A summary of the findings from the site inspections conducted during the reporting month is provided in Table 5.1.

Table 5.1 - Summary of Environmental Site Inspections

Date of Inspection	Observations	Action(s)
7 October 2004	Minor grease stains were found on the deck of the grab dredger.	The Contractor cleared the greased immediately during the site inspection.
14 October 2004	Rock removal works were being carried out at the former heliport.	The Contractor was reminded to maintain the silt curtains used to surround rock removal works and the Contractor assured the inspection team that this would be done.
	Sandy stockpiles at CR-1 and CR-10 not fully covered.	The Contractor was also asked to fully cover exposed sandy stockpiles and the Contractor assured the inspection team that this would be done.
	Damaged sand bags were found near catch basins at CR-10.	The Contractor was reminded that all sand bags used to protect catch basins should be in good condition and the Contractor assured the inspection team that this would be done.
21 October 2004	Exposed soil surfaces at CR-10 were dry.	The Contractor was asked to spray the area with water to avoid dusty emissions from site and the Contractor assured the inspection team that this would be done.
	Silt screen for Central Barrack's seawater intake being replaced.	The Contractor noted that the silt screen for the seawater intake had been damaged and they are in the process of replacing the entire structure.
	A slightly yellowish silty discharge was observed flowing from Culvert J.	This discharge is from off-site and is not project related.
25 October 2004	Floating scum was found discharging from Stormwater Outfall L located near station M5. The discharge dispersed around the surrounding area and scum was found near the silt screen at M5.	This discharge is from off-site and is not project related.
25 October 2004	Silt screen for station M5 was found slightly damaged to one side.	The Contractor was immediately notified and the damaged section was repaired by 28 October 2004
28 October 2004	No non-compliances found.	N/A
29 October 2004	No non-compliances found.	N/A

No significant sediment plumes were observed near the marine works during the site inspections.

On 27 October 2004, the Contractor filed an incident report for the malfunction of a split hopper barge "HB1040S" on 19 October 2004, during which rockfill was dumped into the sea adjacent to the CRIII work site. An investigation found that a faulty relay in the anchor control system had short circuited, causing the barge doors to open. A repair was made but the Contractor has temporarily suspended the use of the hopper barge "HB1040S" under the valid Dumping Licences EP/MD/05-053 and EP/MP/05-069. Additionally, a joint survey of the seabed at the dumping area was carried out with the ER on 20 October 2004. The incident report and the survey results have been submitted to EPD for information and record.
