Operational Phase
S 5.7.14 – S 5.7.16				Ö	Emergency discharge of raw sewage from the Tai O STW would be caused by the failure of electrical power supply or treatment units. The mitigation measures should cover, but not limited to the following practices: - Relevant governmental departments, likely EPD, LCSD and DSD should be noticed by the STW operator immediately under possibility of any emergency raw sewage discharge; - The STW operators should maintain good communications with various relevant parties; - Standby facilities for the main treatment units and standby pumps, accessories/ equipment parts should be installed to avoid the occurrence of an emergency discharge. Storm Tanks would also be incorporated to provide temporary storage of flow under extremely high flow conditions and hence reduce the chance of emergency bypass. Dual power supply or standby power sources should also be implemented to minimize the possibility of power failure; - The proposed STW should be designed, managed and operated properly to minimize the chance of emergency discharge of raw sewage from the STW; - In case of damages to the submarine outfall, the treated effluent will be diverted to the emergency outfall. Off-line tanks will be implemented to provide a buffer zone for influent or effluent storage. The treated effluent from the emergency outfall will likely meet the effluent standard for this project. Thus, the emergency outfall serves as a standby unit to the submarine outfall. - Contingency plan should be developed to deal with emergency discharge during the operation of the STW, which include the following: - Locations of the sensitive receivers in vicinity of the emergency discharge; - A list of relevant governmental bodies to inform of and to ask for assistance in the event of an emergency discharge, including key contact persons and telephone numbers; - Reporting procedures required in the event of an emergency discharge; - Responsibility and procedure for clean-up of the affected water body/sensitive receivers after the emergency discharge; and - Procedures listing the most effective means in rectifying the breakdown of the pumping station to minimize the discharge duration.

S 2.10.4*		Ö			A chlorine dosing system in the form of sodium hypochlorite with contact time of about 30 minutes will be installed. The remaining portion of treated effluent without chlorination will be discharged via outfall. The chlorination process will cease when its quantity is monitored to reach a pre-set level to avoid over generation of chlorinated treated effluent. The pre-set level of residual chlorine for effluent reuse is 1.5+/- 0.5mg/L, with periodic monitoring at point of use that 0.2 mg/L is maintained, with the target set point adjusted as necessary. In-house monitoring would be performed by STW Operators at the discharge point to ensure the residual chlorine level in discharged effluent is less than 1mg/L as stated in the Technical Memorandum on Standards for Effluent Discharged into Drainage and Sewerage Systems, Inland and Coastal Water (TM) for the North Western Water Control Zone and North Western Supplementary. Apart from the online monitoring and control system for the wastewater quality, regular sampling programme will be devised to further safeguard and ensure that the quality of the treated effluent is suitable for reuse. Should the treated effluent not meet the required standards for process cleaning and toilet flushing or in case of breakdown of the wastewater system, a contingency plan would be triggered. The wastewater reuse system will be shut down.	Effluent Reuse Quality Control	Operator of Tai O STW			Ö	Ÿ WPCO; Ÿ USEPA 2012 “Guidelines for Water Reuse” EIA

The perimeter silt curtain installation or re-deployment works should not be commenced until a 30 minute of no dolphin sighting is made within the exclusion zone and will be suspended when any Chinese White Dolphin (CWD) is found within the exclusion zone. Once the perimeter silt curtains are installed or re-deployed, the dredging and filling works would be conducted inside the silt curtains and a dolphin exclusion zone is no longer required. Subsequently, a dolphin watching plan will then be performed. The plan would include regular inspection of the silt curtains, visual inspection of the waters surrounded by the curtains, and an action plan should be devised to cope with any unpredicted incidents such as the case that a dolphin is found within the waters surrounded by the silt curtains. The details of the dolphin exclusion zone and dolphin watching plan for works areas should be included in the EM&A programme.

S.8.8.4	Ö				The potential impacts of marine traffic disturbance or collision risk due to the work-related vessel traffic flow during construction phase are also considered. It is recommended that similar measures which are adopted in other Projects in the western Hong Kong waters to mitigate marine traffic disturbance on CWD, such as speed limits (e.g. 10 knots) and regular routes (to be determined during the construction stage by the environmental team), should be applied. The magnitude of any marine traffic disturbance impact could be controlled to acceptable level	To prevent collision of Dolphin	Contractor		Ö		-
S.8.8.5	Ö				Reduce re-suspension of sediments – Any significant changes in water quality or turbidity should be avoided. This could be mitigated through construction methods. This includes measures such as using closed-grab dredging, and using silt curtains around the work areas. To conclude, the number of concurrent dredging/filling work fronts should be limited, closed-grab dredging and silt curtains should be used, and the seawall should be constructed prior to the filling works.

S.8.8.6	Ö		Ö	Ö	Good Site Practices – The integrity and effectiveness of all silt curtains should be regularly inspected. Effluent monitoring should be incorporated to make sure that the discharged effluent from construction sites meets the effluent discharge guidelines. Good site practice and precautionary measures will also be implemented to avoid the potential impact due to site runoff. The potential impact to terrestrial habitats surrounding the works areas due to noise and dust can also be minimised by implementation of good site practice.

S.10.5.1 to S.10.5.4			Ö	Ö	An Archaeological Watching Brief during construction phase was recommended for areas with archaeological potential within the villages. In order to create a specification tailored to this Project, it was necessary to devise a means of calculating the numbers of Archaeological Watching Brief visits per section of alignment, where ‘section’ can nominally be taken to mean a length of sewer alignment between two manholes. Past experience has shown that engineering work of this kind tends to be conducted on the basis of short sections of alignment between two manholes. Although the lengths of alignment between manholes vary somewhat, this is nevertheless a meaningful basis upon which to decide the monitoring schedule. With this in mind, four levels of Archaeological Watching Brief frequency were matched to four different levels of archaeological potential associated with undisturbed areas of archaeological potential and areas of high to low archaeological potential but disturbed by utilities. The suggested visit frequencies for the four categories are provided in Table 10-2 of EIA. Each monitoring visit should nominally be of a day’s duration and would typically involve observation, finds collection and recording as specified in Appendix 10.4 of EIA. Should significant findings be made, additional archaeological resources will be provided in the form of additional/extended visits to ensure that appropriate recording and retrieval is accomplished prior to the continuation of engineering groundworks	Identification, retrieval and recording of potential archaeological material and deposits	DSD and Contractors		Ö		EIAO-TM/ AMO/ Guidelines for Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment

The Condition Survey Report should contain descriptions of the structure, identification of fragile elements, an appraisal of the condition and working methods for any proposed monitoring and precautionary measures that are recommended. The condition survey report for Graded Historic Buildings must be submitted to AMO for comment before construction activities commence. The location of proposed monitoring point in the building should avoid damaging the historic fabric and approved by the owner.

S.10.5.13 – S.10.5.14			Ö	Ö	Vibration and Settlement Monitoring (VM) Indirect impacts from construction related activities, such as concrete breaking and excavation works may occur if conducted in the vicinity of built heritage structures. This distance that required attention will be defined as 20 m from the proposed works area. Vibration and settlement monitoring should be undertaken during the construction works to ensure that safe levels of vibration and settlement are not exceeded. A maximum level of 5 mm/s for Grade 1, 7.5 mm/s for Grades 2 and 3 Historic Buildings and 15 mm/s for Nil Graded heritage structures should be adopted. The Alert/Alarm/Action limits for settlement shall be 6mm, 8mm and 10mm respectively. It should be noted that the condition survey report should highlight if the limit should be lowered after the detailed study of the condition of the building. A monitoring schedule should be included in the condition survey report. The location of any monitoring equipment in the building must be approved by the owner before installation and should avoid damaging the historic fabric.

The existing trees proposed to be retained shall be properly maintained and protected by means of fencing to prevent vehicular or pedestrian intrusion that may potentially damage tree canopies, trunks and root zones. Detailed tree protection specifications shall be allowed and included in the Contract Specification, which specifying the tree protection requirement, submission and approval system, and tree monitoring system. For trees with high preservation value, individual tree assessments and continuous tree monitoring reports shall be provided by a certified Arborist, Landscape Architect or related professional during construction. All retained trees shall be recorded photographically at the commencement of contract. Root pruning to the retained trees should be prohibited. Retained trees should be well-preserved by setting up a tree protection zone throughout the construction period for protecting the retained trees from damages. To maximize protection to existing trees and ground vegetation, construction contracts may designate “No-intrusion Zone” to various areas within the site boundary with rigid and durable fencing for each individual no-intrusion zone. The contractor should close monitor and restrict the site working staff not to enter the “no-intrusion zone”, even for non-direct construction activities and storage of equipment.
