Reporting
Changes
This report has been
developed in compliance with the reporting requirements for the subsequent
EM&A reports as required by the Updated EM&A Manual for HKLR (Version
1.0).
The proposal for the change
of Action Level and Limit Level for suspended solid and turbidity was approved
by EPD on 25 March 2013.
The revised Event and
Action Plan for dolphin Monitoring was approved by EPD on 6 May 2013.
The original monitoring
station at IS(Mf)9 (Coordinate- East:813273, North 818850) was observed inside
the perimeter silt curtain of Contract HY/2010/02 on 1 July 2013, as such the
original impact water quality monitoring location at IS(Mf)9 was temporarily
shifted outside the silt curtain. As advised by the Contractor of HY/2010/02 in
August 2013, the perimeter silt curtain was shifted to facilitate safe
anchorage zone of construction barges/vessels until end of 2013 subject to
construction progress. Therefore,
water quality monitoring station IS(Mf)9 was shifted to 813226E and 818708N
since 1 July 2013. According to the
water quality monitoring team¡¦s observation on 24 March 2014, the original
monitoring location of IS(Mf)9 was no longer enclosed by the perimeter silt
curtain of Contract HY/2010/02. Thus, the impact water quality monitoring works
at the original monitoring location of IS(Mf)9 has been resumed since 24 March
2014.
