Remark:
(1)
The ET of this Contract should conduct impact air
quality monitoring at the AMS listed in the table as part of EM&A programme
according to the latest notification from
ENPO when the monitoring station(s) is/are no longer covered by another ET of
the HZMB project.
(2)
The original monitoring location was at Hong Kong
SkyCity Marriott Hotel (AMS7). As
the permission to carry out air quality monitoring at Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott
Hotel was not granted after 31 January 2015, the monitoring location was
relocated to Chu Kong Air-Sea Union Transportation Co. Ltd. (AMS7A) from 5
February 2015 to 30 December 2015.
The alternative monitoring location at Chu Kong Air-Sea Union Transportation
Co. Ltd. was approved by EPD on 5 February 2015. However, AMS7A was
relocated back to its original location (AMS7-Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel)
on 30 December 2015. The relocation
of air quality monitoring location, AMS7A, back to AMS7 was approved by EPD on
21 December 2015.
