The EM&A programme requires environmental monitoring for air quality, noise and water quality and environmental site inspections for air quality, noise, water quality, landscape and visual, and waste management. The EM&A requirements for each parameter described in the following sections include:

§ All monitoring parameters;

§ Monitoring schedules for the reporting month and forthcoming months;

§ Action and Limit levels for all environmental parameters;

§ Event/Action Plans;

§ Environmental mitigation measures, as recommended in the Project EIA study final report; and

§ Environmental requirements in contract documents.

Baseline monitoring was completed in August and September 2002 by MateriaLab. Action and Limit Levels were established for air and water quality parameters based on the baseline monitoring results.

This report documented the findings of EM&A Works conducted during the operation phase of Fill Bank at Tseung Kwan O Area 137 in March 2006.
