Sufficient dust suppression measures as stipulated
under the Air Pollution Control (Construction Dust) Regulation (Cap 311R) and
good site practices should be properly implemented in order to minimise the
construction dust generated. The measures include the followings: • Use
of regular watering, to reduce dust emissions from exposed site surfaces and
unpaved roads particularly during dry weather; • Use
of frequent watering of particular dusty construction areas close to ASRs; • Side
enclosure and covering of any aggregate or dusty material storage piles to
reduce emissions. Where this is
not practicable owing to frequent usage, watering should be applied to
aggregate fines; • Open
temporary stockpiles should be avoided or covered. Prevent placing dusty material storage
plies near ASRs; • Tarpaulin
covering of all dusty vehicle loads transported to, from and between site
locations; • Establishment
and use of vehicle wheel and body washing facilities at the exit point of the
site; • Imposition
of speed control for vehicles on unpaved site roads. 8 km/hr is the recommended limit; • Routing
of vehicles and positioning of construction plant should be at the maximum
possible distance from ASRs. |

Loading of the dredged sediment to the barge should
be controlled to avoid splashing and overflowing of the sediment slurry to
the surrounding water. Any
dredged sediment should be stored in enclosed tanks or properly covered as
far as practicable to minimise its exposed area during its temporary storage
and should be placed as far away from the identified ASRs as practically
possible. Dredging rate should be controlled carefully. The dredged sediment
will be delivered off-site for disposal every day to avoid storing at the
barge overnight. Dredged sediment
placed on marine vessel for disposal should also be properly covered during
transportation. Dredging activities should be conducted during non-summer

the requirement of intercepting the line of sight between the NSRs and
PME. The movable noise barrier should have a minimum surface
density of 10 kg/m2 and it should have no openings or gaps. Portable noise enclosure should be used, as far as
practicable, to mitigate the noise impacts arising from the use of handheld
breaker, air compressor, compactor (vibratory) and drill/grinder, hand-held
electric at some work areas (i.e. works areas LP3, LP4, LP5 and ST) where
locate very close to the NSRs. |

Since conducting sewerage construction works and
streetscape improvement works may involve repeated construction works at the
same location, the ArchSD would closely liaise with DSD and their contractors
in planning the interfacing works to minimise duplicated/concurrent
construction works, including exploring the possibility of entrusting the
streetscape improvement works to DSD, so as to minimise nuisance to nearby
sensitive receivers such as residents, shops, restaurants and educational
institution as far as practicable.
Before commencing noisy construction works, such as
road breaking works, in the vicinity of the NSRs, the Contractor would
closely liaise with the affected NSRs to keep them informed of the works and
should strive to complete the works in the shortest time possible. To minimise nuisance to nearby
educational institution and seafood restaurants, noisy construction
works would not be carried out during the examination period of the
educational institution and the peak business hour of the restaurant.

rationale for sediment removal/disposal should be submitted to MFC/CEDD for
agreement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For site allocation
and application of marine dumping permit, separate Sediment Sampling and
Testing Plan (SSTP) may need to be submitted to EPD for agreement under the
Dumping at Sea Ordinance (DASO). Additional SI works, based on the SSTP, may
need to be carried out in order to confirm the disposal arrangements of the
dredged sediment. A Sediment
Quality Report (SQR), reporting the chemical and biological screening results
and the estimated quantities of sediment under different disposal options,
may then need to be submitted to EPD for agreement under DASO. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
¡P
To ensure disposal space is allocated for the
Project, the Project Proponent should be responsible for obtaining agreement
from MFC on the allocation of the disposal site. The contractor(s), on the other
hand, should be responsible for the application of the marine dumping permit
under DASO from EPD for the sediment disposal. |

¡P
The dredged sediments are expected to be loaded onto
the barge and transported to the designated disposal sites allocated by
MFC. The dredged sediment would
be disposed of according to its determined disposal options and ETWB TCW No.
34/2002. ¡P
Stockpiling of contaminated sediments should be
avoided as far as possible. If temporary stockpiling of contaminated
sediments is necessary, the dredged sediment should be covered by tarpaulin
and the area should be placed within earth bunds or sand bags to prevent
leachate from entering the ground, nearby drains and surrounding water
bodies. The stockpiling areas should be completely paved or covered by
linings in order to avoid contamination to underlying soil or groundwater.
Separate and clearly defined areas should be provided for stockpiling of
contaminated and uncontaminated materials. Leachate, if any, should be collected
and discharged according to the Water Pollution Control Ordinance (WPCO). |

¡P
In order to minimise the potential odour / dust
emissions during dredging and transportation of the sediment, the dredged sediments
shall be wetted during dredging / material handling and shall be properly

|
¡P
The barge transporting the sediments to the
designated disposal sites shall be equipped with tight fitting seals to
prevent leakage and shall not be filled to a level that would cause overflow
of materials or laden water during loading or transportation. In addition,
monitoring of the barge loading shall be conducted to ensure that loss of

Construction and
Demolition (C&D) Materials
¡P
Implement a trip-ticket system to monitor and
document the disposal of C&D waste ¡P
C&D materials generated from dredging, lookout points
excavation works, and landing facility and carp-shaped platform construction
works should be segregated from other waste to avoid contamination and ensure
acceptability at the public fill reception facilities or reclamation sites. ¡P
C&D materials should be sorted on-site into
inert and non-inert materials. ¡P
Non-inert C&D waste, such as wood, plastic,
steel and other metals should be reused or recycled and, as a last resort,
disposed to landfill. ¡P
A suitable area should be designated within the site
for temporary stockpiling of C&D materials and to facilitate the sorting
process. ¡P
Within the stock pile areas, the following measures
should be taken to control potential environmental impacts or nuisance: -
Waste such as soil should be handled and stored well
to ensure secure containment; -
Covering materials during heavy rainfall; -
Stockpiling area should be provided with covers and
water spraying system to prevent materials from wind-blown or being washed
away; -
Locating stockpiles to minimise potential visual impacts;
and -
Minimising land intake of stockpile area as far as
possible. ¡P
A system should be devised for on-site sorting of
C&D materials. This system should include the identification of the
source of generation, estimated quantity of waste generated, arrangement for
on-site sorting and / or collection, designated stockpiling areas, frequency
of collection by recycling contractors and frequency of removal off-site. ¡P
All dusty materials should be sprayed with water
prior to any loading, unloading or transfer operation so as to maintain the
dusty materials wet. |

Floating Refuse
¡P
Floating refuse should be collected and removed at
regular intervals on a
daily basis to keep water within the site boundary and the neighbouring water
free from rubbish. ¡P
In case of floating refuse is identified, a waste collection
vessel is needed to remove the floating materials and eventually store and
dispose of together with the general refuse, after separating the recyclables
for recycling, at North East New Territories Landfill (NENT) via Kwun Tong
Road and Fanling Highway. ¡P
Provision of general refuse bins on site and
education programme to construction workforce to minimise the potential of

Minimisation
of Direct Loss of Coral ¡P
A detailed coral mapping should be undertaken before
the commencement of the works ¡P
A detailed Coral Mitigation Plan should be prepared
prior to the implementation of mitigation measures. Suitable recipient site(s) should be
identified. Description of
methodology including translocation (e.g. pre-translocation survey,
identification / proposal of coral recipient site(s)) and/or other best
practicable mitigation measures, and post-mitigation monitoring programme
should be prepared
with reference to recently approved EIA and subject to comment by the AFCD
before commencement of the coral mitigation. All the
coral mitigation exercises should be conducted by experienced marine
ecologist(s) with at least 5 years relevant experience. |

¡P To minimise the contamination of wastewater discharge, accidental chemical spillage and construction site run-off to the receiving water bodies, mitigation measures recommended in water quality impact assessment should be adopted to control construction site runoff and drainage form the work areas, and to prevent runoff and drainage water with high levels of suspended solids from entering the nearby local stormwater drainage system and water bodies directly. The mitigation measures include: -
The
good site practices outlined in ProPECC PN 1/94 ¡§Construction Site Drainage¡¨
should be strictly followed to minimise surface runoff. -
Surface
run-off from construction sites should be discharged into storm drains via
adequately designed sand / silt removal facilities such as sand traps, silt
traps and sedimentation basins; -
Open
stockpiles of construction materials (e.g. aggregates, sand and fill
material) on sites should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during
rainstorms; -
Good
construction and site management practices should be observed to ensure that
litter, fuels and solvents do no enter the storm water drains; and -
Chemical
toilets should be provided within the construction site and properly maintained. All effluent discharged from
the construction site should comply with the standards stipulated in the
¡§Technical Memorandum on Standards for Effluents Discharged into Drainage and
Sewerage Systems, Inland and Coastal Waters¡¨ (TM-DSS). |

Other
Minimisation Measures ¡P To mitigate the impact of the loss, the proposed sloping seawall would be constructed with rock armours which would have spaces between rock armour units to allow intertidal organisms to grow. ¡P
The new vertical seawall for
the lookout points and viewing platform and the breakwater would also provide
additional hard substrata for the recolonization of intertidal fauna and
corals. Ecological features e.g.
seawall enhanced with rough texture and irregular pattern would be
incorporated into the design of vertical seawall as far as practicable. A submission on the detailed design of
the ecological features to be adopted will be prepared subject to comment by the AFCD prior to the installation of the ecological features. |

¡P
During the capital and maintenance dredging
operations, mitigation measures (including use of closed grab, silt curtains
and restriction of dredging rate to no more than 100m3 per hour)
recommended in the water quality impact assessment would be implemented to
control water quality impacts to within acceptable levels. These
mitigation measures would also control and minimize the indirect impacts on
fisheries resources due to deterioration in water quality as a result of both
capital and maintenance dredging works. |

the existing Trees to be retained and not to be affected by the Project should
be carefully protected during the construction phase in accordance with DEVB
TCW No. 7/2015 titled ¡§Tree Preservation¡¨ and the latest ¡§Guidelines on Tree
Preservation during Development¡¨ issued by GLTM Section of DEVB, including
provision of Tree Protection Zones (TPZs). Any existing vegetation in
landscaped areas and natural terrain not to be affected by the Project should
also be carefully preserved. Therefore, these existing landscape elements can
maintain their qualities throughout the construction phase. ¡P

to prevent light overspill to the nearby VSRs and into the sky. ¡P
CM5 - Decorative
Hoardings, with designs and forms compatible with the surrounding settings,
should be erected during the construction phase to minimise the potential
landscape and visual impacts from the construction works and activities, e.g.
avoiding unintended destruction of existing trees and other landscape
elements, and reducing visual bulkiness of the screen hoardings, etc. ¡P
CM6 - The
layout and arrangement of construction site facilities which include site
office and temporary storage area should be properly managed and construction
activities at the site should be carefully supervised and controlled to
minimise potential adverse landscape and visual impacts. |
