It should be noted that the air quality and noise monitoring works for the
Contract are covered by Contract No. HY/2013/01 ¡§Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao
Bridge HKBCF ¡V Passenger
Clearance Building¡¨ and
Contract No. HY/2011/03 ¡§Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao
Bridge Hong Kong Link Road ¡V Section between Scenic Hill and HKBCF¡¨. The ET of the Contract or another ET of the
HZMB project is required to conduct impact air quality monitoring at AMS6 and
AMS7 / AMS7B, noise monitoring at NMS2 and NMS3B, water quality
monitoring show in Figure 2 and
dolphin monitoring
show in Figure 3 as part of EM&A programme
if these monitoring stations are no longer covered under Contract
No. HY/2013/01 and
HY/2011/03. However, this is subject to ENPO¡¦s final decision on which ET should
carry out the monitoring works at these stations. The dates of site inspection during the reporting period are listed
below:

Breaches of
Action and Limit Levels
Summary
of Action and Limit Level exceedance of 1-hr TSP
level and 24-hr TSP level at AMS6 shall be referred to the monthly EM&A
report prepared by Contract No. HY/2011/03.
There was no Action and Limit Level exceedance of 1-hr TSP
level and 24-hr TSP level recorded at station AMS7 / AMS7B by
the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2013/01 during the reporting period.
There was no Action and Limit Level exceedance for noise recorded
at station NMS2 and station NMS3B by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2013/01 during the
reporting period.
During February 2018, there were two action level exceedances of suspended solids recorded on 02 February
2018. Since the removal of temporary loading and unloading
point by Contract No. HY/2013/02, which involved marine work, was
completed on 10 September 2017 and the area was handed back to Reclamation
Contractor with Contract No. HY/2010/02 on 11 September 2017 for
subsequent seawall construction as confirmed by RSS, there was no
marine works or barge of this Contract worked at HKBCF reclamation site near
the sea area or area near the monitoring station under Contract No.
HY/2013/02 during February 2018. Hence, specific investigation shall be
referred to other ET¡¦s report(s) under the HZMB Projects in which the
respective contract(s) with remaining marine works on-going for the exceedances recorded in water quality monitoring during
this reporting month. There was no Action and Limit Level exceedance
recorded on other monitoring date at the monitoring stations showed at Table
4.1 by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2013/01
during the reporting period.
Complaint Log
During
February 2018, there was a complaint received by Environmental
Protection Department on on 05 February 2018 and referred to the ENPO on 05 February
2018. Then the

Monitoring
Locations
The water monitoring works for the
Contract are covered by Contract No. HY/2013/01 Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge HKBCF ¡V Passenger Clearance Building.
The ET of the Contract or another ET of the HZMB project is required to conduct
water quality monitoring at twenty one
stations (9 Impact Stations, 7 Sensitive Receiver Stations and 5 Control/Far
Field Stations). Due to topographical conditions of SR3,
SR10A and SR10B(N),
the water quality monitoring (WQM) stations was proposed to be monitored at
alternative WQM stations named as SR3(N), SR10A
(N) and SR10B(N2). The proposal for alternation of
water quality monitoring stations for HZMB HKBCF was justified by the ET
Leader for Contract No. HY/2013/01 on 08 November 2017 and
verified by the IEC on 13
November 2017; and submitted to EPD on 29 November 2017, and it was approved by
EPD on 22 December 2017. Table 4.1

4. All the figures given in
the table are used for reference only and the EPD may amend the figures
whenever it is considered as necessary. |

September 2017 and the area was handed back to Reclamation Contractor with
Contract No. HY/2010/02 on 11 September 2017 for subsequent seawall
construction as
confirmed by RSS, there was no marine works or
barge of this Contract worked at HKBCF reclamation site near the sea area or
area near the monitoring station under Contract No.
HY/2013/02 during February
2018. Hence,
specific investigation shall be referred to other ET¡¦s report(s) under the HZMB

4.3.3
Although the exceedances were not relevant to this Contract, the
Contractor was reminded to provide appropriate water pollution
mitigation measures, such as ensure all construction activities that would
deteriorate the water quality was collected by sedimentation tanks or package
treatment systems for proper treatment prior to disposal.
