Remarks:

(a) * Due to the presence of deployed silt curtain systems at the site boundaries of the Contract, some of the transect lines shown in Figure 2.4 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, 2, 7, 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) ^ The change of transect lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and new transect line 24 were 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.

SS in mg L^-1 (depth-averaged) at all monitoring stations and control stations	23.5 and 120% of upstream control station's SS at the same tide of the same day*	34.4 and 130% of upstream control station's SS at the same tide of the same day and 10mg/L for WSD Seawater intakes*
Turbidity in NTU (depth-averaged)	27.5 and 120% of upstream control station's turbidity at the same tide of the same day*	47.0 and 130% of upstream control station's

Remarks:

* Reference is made to EPD approval of adjustment of water quality assessment criteria issued and became effective on 18 February 2013.

Notes:

1. “depth-averaged” is calculated by taking the arithmetic means of reading of all three depths.

2. For DO, non-compliance of the water quality limits occurs when monitoring result is lower than the limits.

3. For turbidity, SS, non-compliance of the water quality limits occurs when monitoring result is higher than the limits.

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.

5. The 1%-ile of baseline data for dissolved oxygen (surface and middle) and dissolved oxygen (bottom) are 4.2 mg/L and 3.6 mg/L respectively.

3.5 Implementation of Environmental Measures

In response to the site audit findings, the Contractor carried out corrective actions. Details of site audit findings and the corrective actions during the reporting period are presented in Appendix F.

A summary of the Implementation Schedule of Environmental Mitigation Measures (EMIS) is presented in Appendix E. Most of the necessary mitigation measures were implemented properly.

Implementation status of the Regular Marine Travel Route Plan (RMTRP) including checking of Contractor’s marine traffic records by ER, ETL and IEC/ENPO would be conducted in the event of Contract-related marine traffic taking place during the reporting period.

According to the Contractor of HY/2013/04, all marine-based segment deliveries were completed in January 2018 and no marine-based works were conducted under the contract during the reporting period.

Implementation status of the Dolphin Watching Plan (DWP) was checked by ET. Training of marine mammal observer (MMO) was given to relevant staff and relevant records were kept properly. Silt curtains were provided at each box culvert for marine works areas in accordance with the approved Dolphin Watching Plan. The silt curtains were inspected regularly by ET and Contractor and the implementation was found to be in working order.

3.6 Advice on the Solid and Liquid Waste Management Status

The Contractor registered as a chemical waste producer for the Contract. Sufficient numbers of receptacles were available for general refuse collection and sorting. As a practical means, the disposal operation is managed by a single HKBCF contractor who is also responsible for applying dumping permit and its subsequent extension applications from EPD. Contract No. HY/2013/03 has been assigned to coordinate and arrange for disposal of extracted marine sediment from this Contract.

There was no generation of excavated sediment for treatment during this reporting period. Any treatment of excavated marine sediment will be conducted using cement solidification / stabilization (Cement S/S) techniques and the treated sediment will be reused onsite for either backfilling or landscaping (e.g. berm material).

The summary of waste flow table is detailed in Appendix G.

The Contractor was reminded that chemical waste containers should be properly treated and stored temporarily in designated chemical waste storage area on site in accordance with the Code of Practice on the Packing, Labelling and Storage of Chemical Waste.

3.6.1 Disposal of Marine Sediment Extracted from Bored Piling Works

3.6.1.1 Background

After the acceptance of the review of the approved Sediment Quality Report (SQR) for this Project under EPD letter dated 19 August 2015, an approval to dispose the marine sediment extracted from bored piling for this Project was then approved under memo from Secretary, Marine Fill Committee of CEDD dated 20 August 2015 for the disposal of marine sediment extracted from bored piling works. The disposal sites allocated to this Project are the Mud Pit CMP2 of the Confined Marine Sediment Disposal Facility to the South of The Brothers (or at the East of Sha Chau). As advised by CEDD in the memo dated 19 February 2016, from 00:00 on 22 March 2016 onward, the disposal space at CMP2 of the South of The Brothers is closed and all disposal of contaminated sediment is to be carried out at CMP Vd to the East of Sha Chau (ESC).

As Contract No. HY/2013/01 has commenced treatment of the extracted marine sediment, treatment will continue and the treated marine sediment will be re-used within the HKBCF Island. On the other hand, Contract Nos. HY/2013/02, HY/2013/03 and HY/2013/04 have not commenced the treatment of extracted marine sediment. Therefore the marine sediment extracted from these three Contracts will be disposed to the allocated disposal sites directly without treatment. As a practical means, the disposal operation is managed by one contractor who is also responsible for applying dumping permit and its subsequent extension applications from EPD. Contract No. HY/2013/03 has been assigned to coordinate and arrange for disposal of extracted marine sediment from all three Contracts.

The SQR was further reviewed in mid-2016. EPD has no comment to extend the validity of the SQR to August 2017 under letter dated 18 August 2016.

Based on the actual piling operation, the estimated quantity of marine sediment to be extracted has been revised from 85,000 m³ to 126,000 m³(bulk volume). EPD has no comments on the request as in the letter dated 20 October 2016. The Secretary of Marine Fill Committee, CEDD approved the increasing quantity in the memo dated 10 November 2016.

During the course of reviewing the SQR, it was noted that the contamination level of the marine sediment extracted from the inner part of the HKBCF Island was not identified during the previous sampling and testing. As requested by EPD, sampling and testing are required. The Sediment Sampling and Testing Proposal (SSTP) for the inner area of the HKBCF Island was approved by EPD on 2 June 2016.

As in the agreed SSTP for the inner area of the HKBCF Island, samples were taken from the seventeen batches of stockpiled marine sediments and from five boreholes each in one of the five sampling grids. After conducting chemical tests on samples, six batches of stockpiled samples under Contract No. HY/2013/03 and all eight batches of stockpiled samples under Contract No. HY/20013/04 are classified as Category L sediment. The Secretary of Marine Fill Committee of CEDD allocated disposal sites under memo dated 24 October 2016 and dated 22 November 2016 for disposal of a total of 9,500 m³ in-situ volume of Category L sediment (using a bulk factor of 1.3). The Category L sediment was disposed in December 2016.

One sample from the batch of stockpiled marine sediment under Contract No. HY/2013/03 and samples from all five sampling grids had contamination levels exceeding the Lower Chemical Exceedance Levels (LCEL) and biological screenings were carried out. All samples passed the biological screenings and are classified as Category Mp sediment and to be disposed off site using Type II confined marine disposal method the same method used for marine sediment extracted from other part of the HKBCF Island.

3.6.1.2 Dumping Arrangements

The barge for disposal of marine sediment will morn at the temporary loading and unloading at the east shore of the HKBCF Island, which has been being used by reclamation contractor (Contract No. HY/2010/02) for reclamation activities. In terms of safety consideration, each dumping date will be allocated to one Contract. The quantity of marine sediment disposed on the date is from one Contract.

During dumping, each Contractor is responsible for transporting the marine sediment from his site area to the barge. The estimated quantity of marine sediment in each truck is confirmed by Resident Site Staff of each Contract. The trip tickets for transportation and disposal of marine sediment are collected and checked. Contract No. HY/2013/03 as the dumping permit holder is responsible for reporting to EPD the quantity disposed of as the condition stipulated in the dumping permit.

3.6.1.3 Reporting

AECOM has confirmed that the disposal of excavated marine sediments to allocated dumping site via Contract No. HY/2013/03 has been completed with the last batch disposal on 30 August 2017. The total quantities disposed are presented in the following table (Table 3.3):

Table 3.3: Summary of Marine Sediment disposed to Dumping Site via Contract No. HY/2013/03

Month/Year	Type of Sediment and Quantity Disposed (m³)
	Cat. L (in Type I)	Type II
Total =	3,570	39,814

The investigation of the complaint received on 22 June 2018 by the ET of the Contract was carried over from the previous reporting period and completed during this reporting period. The summary of environmental complaints is presented in Table 4.1.

The details of cumulative statistics of Environmental Complaints are provided in Appendix H.

Table 4.1: Summary of Environmental Complaints for the Reporting Month

Log No.	Environmental Complaint Ref. No.	Date of Complaint Receipt	Description
009	ENPO-C0135	22 June 2018	Water Quality

Environmental Complaint Ref. No. ENPO-C0135

The complaint was about discharge of muddy water from HKBCF. According to site photos provided by HyD, it is noticed that there was muddy water discharged via as-constructed box culverts/outfall structures at various parts of seawall on 13 June 2018.

This investigation reports the findings with respect to Box Culverts C and D which are located inside HY/2013/04 works site. It is noted that more than one HKBCF contract site was subject to the present complaint.

It is noted that the construction of Box Culverts C and D is divided into two parts, with HY/2013/04 and the adjacent BCF contract each responsible for the part inside its respective site boundary. The general HY/2013/04 site arrangement map showing the locations of Box Culverts C and D relative to these contracts is provided in Attachment 2 of ET’s investigation report.

As informed by the Contractor of HY/2013/04, land-based construction of the main structure of Box Culverts C and D (including the outfalls) were completed by May 2018 and no further works inside the main structures were conducted. Since then, land-based reinstatement of the seawall at ground level were in progress.

Prior to the subject incident, ET conducted weekly site inspection on 11 June 2018, during which the HY/2013/04 site shoreline interfacing with open waters was inspected. There was no observation regarding any overflow of site runoff or presence of silty water in the open waters associated with that shoreline, including at Box Culverts C and D. Silt curtains at Box Culverts C and D were observed as secured with no leakage of muddy water into the open waters. No HY/2013/04 site works were observed which may be a potential cause of muddy water discharge. Relevant photos are presented in Attachment 3 of ET’s investigation report.

It is noted that amber rainstorm warning signal was issued during the daytime on 13 June 2018 from 15:00 to 18:15. The relevant record from the Hong Kong Observatory is presented in Attachment 4 of ET’s investigation report.

The Contractor confirmed that prior to the heavy rain on 13 June 2018 it had inspected the silt curtains which were functioning properly with no leakage of muddy water into the open waters. Photo provided by the Contractor is presented in Attachment 3 of ET’s investigation report.

After the heavy rain, the silt curtains were inspected and readjusted to ensure no leakage of site runoff into the open waters. Photo taken by the Contractor on 16 June 2018 is also presented in Attachment 3 of ET’s investigation report.

ET conducted weekly site inspection on 20 June 2018, during which the HY/2013/04 site shoreline interfacing with open waters was inspected. There was no observation regarding any overflow of site runoff or presence of silty water in the open waters associated with that shoreline. Silt curtains at Box Culverts C and D were observed as secured with no leakage of muddy water into the open waters. According to the Contractor, the opening in the silt curtain at Box Culvert C was repaired by 20 June 2018. Relevant photos are presented in Attachment 3 of ET’s investigation report.

Following receipt of the subject complaint, ET conducted weekly site inspections on 27 June 2018, during which the HY/2013/04 site shoreline interfacing with open waters was inspected. There was no observation regarding any overflow of site runoff or presence of silty water in the open waters associated with that shoreline. Silt curtains at Box Culverts C and D were observed as secured with no leakage of muddy water into the open waters. No HY/2013/04 site works were observed which may be a potential cause of muddy water discharge. Relevant photos are presented in Attachment 3 of ET’s investigation report.

As part of the regular weekly site inspection process, mitigation measures for surface runoff collection and treatment were audited. According to the Contractor’s approved Site Temporary Drainage Management Plan (Section 4.1.1 for HKBCF island site), in the event of flooding on site due to heavy rainstorm, the effluent and surface water would be collected by temporary drainage channels to on-site waste water treatment facilities (including, but not limited to, sedimentation tank and Wetsep) and then discharged by discharge well on-site; furthermore, temporary drainage channel or earth bund shall be formed in front of the existing crest of sloping seawall within the site area in order to prevent the effluent from being overflowed into the sea due to heavy rainstorm. It is noted that the temporary site drainage system are not connected to Box Culverts C and D within HY/2013/04 site and therefore it is not anticipated that muddy surface runoff would flow into these box culverts. The Layout Plan for Site Temporary Drainage is presented in Attachment 5 of ET’s investigation report. Throughout June 2018, no adverse observations were made in relation to muddy surface runoff, and no muddy surface runoff was observed as overflowing from the HY/2013/04 site area into these box culverts or the open waters.

It is concluded that the source of the discharged runoff is not related to this contract and may be upstream of the HY/2013/04 works area.

The Contractor is reminded to observe all conditions stated in the relevant discharge licence and implement all necessary water quality mitigation measures identified in the EM&A Manual.

The following specific mitigation measures, as stated in the EMIS of EM&A Manual, are highlighted for constant maintenance and reinforcement to prevent future recurrence:

● single layer silt curtains will be applied around all works; and

● silt curtain shall be fully maintained throughout the works.

Specifically, for land works:

● wastewater from temporary site facilities should be controlled to prevent direct discharge to surface or marine waters; and

● silt removal facilities, channels and manholes shall be maintained and any deposited silt and grit shall be removed regularly, including specifically at the onset of and after each rainstorm.

To prevent recurrence of this incident, the following measures are proposed for Contractor’s consideration:

● more frequent checking of the silt curtain’s integrity;

● more frequent pumping of the runoff contained inside the silt curtain; and

● a larger silt curtain to contain a larger area of silt runoff within.

Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

Statistics on notifications of summons and successful prosecutions are summarized in Appendix I.
