EPD received
the public complaint on 18 May 2013. This complaint was a follow-up of a
previous complaint received by EPD on 8 April 2013 (Com-2013-04-001).
The
complainant complained again about the oil was dumped from various vessels
operating for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Hong Kong (HZMB HK) Projects near
Tung Chung New Development Pier over the past months.
|
After
receiving the complaint, additional site inspection was conducted at near
Tung Chung New Development Pier on 30 May 2013 to investigate whether oil
dumped was due to Contract No. HY/2011/09¡¦s vessels. During the site
inspection, three working vessels under Contract No.HY/2011/09 was anchored
off near Tung Chung New Development Pier. No oil dumped from Contract No.
HY/2011/09¡¦s vessels were observed and the water around the vessels was
clear.
The following
mitigation measures have been implemented by DCVJV:
• DCVJV has sent the letter to the
shipping agent to remind them to ensure the vessels under Contract No.
HY/2011/09 are in good condition and any oil dumped to sea should be avoided
to prevent water pollution.
• Provide training to the vessel
skippers for prevention of pollution from ships.
• DCVJV requested vessel skippers to
provide engine oil disposal records The vessel skippers assured to us that
all waste lubricants were sent to waste collectors regularly and no oil
discharge into seawater.

According to
the Contractor, there was no concreting works for the pier sites on 23 July
2013 and therefore no loading and unloading operation at Southeast Quay at
Chek Lap Kok.
Concreting
works were performed at Pier 0 on 30 July 2013. As the Contractor anticipated the
arrival time of tug boat and flap-top barge at Southeast Quay will exceed
23:00 hours after the concreting works, they decided to arrange the tug boat
and flap-top barge with concrete lorry mixers anchored off around Pier 66
after 23:00 hours. So, no loading and unloading operation at Southeast Quay
at Chek Lap Kok was observed.
Further night time site inspection was conducted on 22 August 2013 during

Ø Keep
cleanliness of the surface of roro-barge and do not cause water quality
nuisance.
Ø To check and
reinforce the concrete / sand bag bund between baffles erected near the edge
of the three ro-ro barges to avoid accidental leakage of wastewater from the
deck regularly.
Ø Keep all
debris/ aggregate away from the edge of ro-ro barge to prevent them from
falling into the sea.
Ø Provide
sufficient skips for temporary storage of concrete residue/wastewater.
Ø To check for

Ø Assign trained
staff to ensure proper management of environmental matters on each of the
ro-ro barges in particular the handling of concrete residue/wastewater
generated during operation.
Ø Keep record
for collection of skip or temporary storage tank for wastewater and excess
concrete.
Ø Ensure

Floating
Concrete Batching Plant (FCBP)
|
28 November 2014
|
The complaint was
received by EPD on 28 November 2014. The complaint was received from one of
the green groups Green Lantau Association. They complained about the hauling of the
floating concrete batching plant (FCBP) by the tug boat to the site of
Contract No. HY/2011/09 from the north-east side had disturbed the seabed
causing an increase of turbidity in marine waters at around noon of 15
November 2014.
|
Based on the information collected, the following conclusions were
drawn:
1) It is
suspected that the wake following the FCBP was resulted from disturbance to
the bottom sediment when it was traveling during the lowest tide on that day.
2) The FCBP was
traveling within the site area and the maximum number of movement of a
floating plant (and therefore tug boat) is two times per day. Average
duration of each movement is around 1 hour/day. Therefore, the disturbance to
the bottom sediment is considered temporary, localized and infrequent.
3) No illegally
discharge of wastewater or domestic wastewater to the sea from FCBP.
4) Relevant
environmental mitigation measures as shown in EP-352/2009/C were properly
implemented.
5) No
deterioration of marine water quality based on the marine water quality
monitoring results on 15 November 2014.
Nevertheless, DCVJV was also recommended the mitigation measures as
below:
¡P The vessel skipper should pay special
care about the movement of deep draught vessel to avoid seabed disturbance.
(e.g. speed restrictions)
¡P In case of sediment plume was found
behind vessel, the vessel skipper should further reduce vessel speed.
¡P Minimum clearance of 0.6m should be
maintained between vessels and the seabed in all tide conditions, to ensure
that undue turbidity is not generated by turbulence from vessel movement or
propeller wash. (Reference: EIA-081/2002 - Construction of Lung Kwu Chau
Jetty)
