2.       ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS

 

Monitoring Parameters

 

2.1               The EM&A Manual designated two monitoring stations to monitor environmental impacts on air quality due to the Project. The monitoring locations are depicted in Figures 2.1.

 

2.2               After review of the monitoring stations, ET proposed to cancel the air quality monitoring station TKO1 due to its incapability in reflecting the air quality impact arising from the Project upon the nearby sensitive receiver (i.e. TKO TVB City). Upon agreed by the ER and the IEC, ET submitted a revised EM&A manual with a letter of justification on cancellation of TKO1 to EPD on 20 April 2006. EPD had no objection to the cancellation of monitoring station TKO1 and the air quality monitoring at TKO1 was terminated on 1 June 2006.

 

2.3               The EM&A Manual also required environmental site inspections for air quality, noise, water quality, chemical and waste management and landscape and visual.

 

Environmental Quality Perfomance Limits (Action/Limit Levels)

 

2.4               The environmental quality performance limits (i.e. Action/Limit Levels) were derived from the baseline monitoring results of the Fill Bank at Tseung Kwan O Area 137, and are given in Appendix C.

 

Environmental Mitigation Measures

 

2.5               Relevant environmental mitigation measures were stipulated in the Particular Specification and EP (No.: EP-134/2002/F) for the Contractor to adopt. A list of mitigation measures and their implementation statuses are given in Appendix D.
