Remarks:
(1)
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. As the permission
to carry out air quality monitoring at Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel was not
granted after the end of January 2018, as such, a proposal for the monitoring
location relocated to 3RS Site Office(AMS7B) was justified by the ET Leader for
Contract No. HY/2013/01 on 22 January 2018; verified by the IEC on 24 January
2018; and submitted to EPD on 30 January 2018, and the AQM has been carrying
out at AMS7B with EPD’s consent since 6 February 2018.

Remarks: (a)
* Due
to the presence of deployed silt curtain systems at the site boundaries of
the Contract, some of the transect
lines could not be fully surveyed during the regular survey.
Transect 10 is reduced from 6.4km to approximately 3.6km in length due to the
HKBCF construction site. Therefore, the total transect length for both NEL
and NWL combined is reduced to approximately 108km. (b)
#
Coordinates for transect lines 1, 8,
9 and 11 have been updated in respect to the Proposal for Alteration of
Transect Line for Dolphin Monitoring approved by EPD on 19 August 2015. (c) Due to marine work of the Expansion of Hong Kong
International Airport into a Three-Runway System (3RS Project), original
transect lines of dolphin monitoring 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are enclosed by
works boundary of 3RS Project. Alternative dolphin monitoring transect lines
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 24 are adopted starting from 17 May 2017 to replace the
original transect lines. (d)
The
change of transect lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and new vessel-based transect
line 24 for dolphin monitoring have been proposed due to the marine work of a
designated project - Expansion of Hong Kong International Airport into a
Three-Runway System (3RS Project). It was justified and verified by the ET
Leader for Contract No. HY/2010/02 and the IEC respectively on 24 March 2017
and it was approved by EPD on 12 May 2017. |
