4.            SUMMARY OF EXCEEDANCES, COMPLAINTS, NOTIFICATION OF SUMMONS AND SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION

 

4.1          Summary of Exceedance of the Environmental Quality Performance Limit

 

4.1.1      Summary of Action and Limit Level exceedance of 1-hr TSP level and 24-hr TSP level at AMS6 is reported in the monthly EM&A Reports prepared by Contract No. HY/2011/03 (from September 2015 to January 2019).

 

4.1.2      There was one Action Level exceedance of 24-hr TSP level recorded at station AMS3B by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2013/01 on 28 November 2017, one Action Level exceedance of 24-hr TSP level recorded at station AMS3B by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2013/01 on 23 December 2017, and two Action Level exceedances of 24-hr TSP level recorded at station AMS2 and AMS3B by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2013/01 on 17 January 2018 during the reporting period. After investigation, it was concluded that all exceedances were not relevant to Contract No. HY/2013/03.

 

4.1.3      There was no Action and Limit Level exceedance of 1-hr TSP level and 24-hr TSP level recorded on other monitoring dates at station AMS2, AMS3B/AMS3C and AMS7/AMS7A/AMS7B by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2010/02 (from September 2015 to August 2017), Contract No. HY/2013/01 (from September 2017 to September 2018), and Contract No. HY/2013/04 (from October 2018 to January 2019). Although the exceedances were not relevant to Contract No. HY/2013/03, the Contractor was reminded to continue to fully maintain all air quality mitigation measures and prevent any air quality impact.

 

4.1.4      There was no Action and Limit Level exceedance for noise recorded at station NMS2 and station NMS3B/NMS3C by the Environmental Team of Contract No. HY/2010/02 (from September 2015 to August 2017), Contract No. HY/2013/01 (from September 2017 to September 2018), and Contract No. HY/2013/04 (from October 2018 to January 2019) during the reporting period.

 

4.1.5      There were Action and Limit Level exceedances recorded at different WQM stations recorded on 90 days during the reporting period. The following table summarized the number of exceedance on each sampling date:
