Air Quality
3.7.2	N/A	The temporary stockpile materials from maintenance desilting will be located as far away from the ASRs as possible. These materials will be properly covered with tarpaulin and should be removed off-site within 24 hours to avoid any odour nuisance arising.

Water Quality
5.8.2.1 – 5.8.2.9	N/A	Surface Run-off / Irrigation Run-off · BMPs for storm water discharge and management as detailed below are recommended for the Project to mitigate potential adverse water quality impacts. · Good management measures such as regular cleaning and sweeping of road surface / open areas is suggested. The road surface / open area cleaning should also be carried out prior to occurrence of rainstorm. · Good management practices should be adopted to properly manage the water application rate and time during irrigation to minimise chance of run-off. Use of fertilisers and pesticides, if required, should be properly controlled, e.g. applications prior to forecasted heavy rain event should also be avoided to minimise the potential for run-off of residual fertiliser. In addition, use of more specific, systemic and biodegradable pesticide in low dosage is more preferred. Priority would be given to remove infected/sick plantings over the use of pesticides. The use and handling of fertilisers and pesticides should follow the Pesticide Ordinance and Code of Practice for the Safe and Proper Use of Pesticides in Public Areas by AFCD, Food and Health Bureau (FEHD) and Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). · Manholes, as well as storm water gullies, ditches provided among the development areas should be regularly inspected and cleaned (e.g. monthly). Additional inspection and cleansing should be carried out before forecast heavy rainfall.

5.8.2.10 – 5.8.2.11	N/A	Routine Maintenance Works The maintenance practices would be similar to the existing maintenance works undertaken by the DSD. The following considerations would be included in planning for the maintenance works: · Maintenance desilting of the nullah should be carried out on an annual basis during dry season (November to March) when the water flow is low, with the exception of during emergency situations where the accumulated silt would adversely affect the hydraulic capacity of the nullah or where flooding risk is imminent, or when complaints on environmental nuisance associated with the accumulated silt are received. Desilting should be carried out by hand-held or light machinery at low tide. · Phasing of the works should be considered to better control and reduce any impacts caused. Where possible, works should be carried out along half width of the drainage channel in short sections. A free passage along the drainage channel is necessary to avoid forming stagnant water in any phase of the works. · Containment structures (such as sandbags barrier) should be provided for the desilting works area to facilitate a dry or at least confined working area within the drainage channel. · The locations for the disposal of the removed materials should be identified and agreement sought with the relevant departments before commencement of the maintenance works. Temporary stockpile of waste materials should be located away from the channel and properly covered. These waste materials should be disposed of in a timely and appropriate manner. · Effective temporary flow diversion scheme should be implemented and the generated wastes should be collected and disposed off-site properly to avoid adversely affecting the water quality of the drainage system.

Waste Management
6.5.2.1	N/A	· The silt materials, debris and screenings from the DWFI system / nullah during routine maintenance should be properly stored in enclosed bins or compaction units and transported to the designated landfill for disposal as soon as possible.

Ecological Impacts
9.8.3.8	N/A	Best Management Practices (BMPs) for storm water discharge should follow the relevant guidelines and practices as given in the ProPECC PN 5/93 to minimise surface runoff from the Project, whilst good site practices in planning maintenance works should be followed to minimise the potential impacts on water quality to the nearby waterbodies from surface run-off / maintenance works and the associated ecological impacts.

Fisheries
10.6.3	N/A	Since no adverse fisheries impacts would be anticipated under normal operation of the FTN, no specific fisheries mitigation measure during operational phase is considered necessary for the Project. Nonetheless, water pollution control measures should be strictly followed as these measures also serve to further protect fisheries resources.
