Under Contract No. HY/2012/07,
Gammon Construction Limited (GCL) is commissioned by the Highways Department (HyD) to undertake the design and construction of the
Southern Connection Viaduct Section of the Tuen Mun – Chek Lap Kok Link Project (TM-CLK Link Project) while AECOM
Asia Company Limited was appointed by HyD as the
Supervising Officer. For implementation
of the environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) programme
under the Contract, ERM-Hong Kong, Limited (ERM) has been appointed as the
Environmental Team (ET). Ramboll Environ Hong Kong Ltd. was employed by the HyD as the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) and
Environmental Project Office (ENPO) in accordance with Environmental Permit No. EP-354/2009/A. Further
applications for variation of environmental permit (VEP), EP-354/2009/B, EP-354/2009/C
and EP-354/2009/D, were granted on 28
January 2014, 10 December 2014 and 13 March 2015, respectively.
Part of the Southern Landfall of TM-CLK Link lies
alongside the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macao Bridge Hong Kong Boundary Crossing
Facilities (HKBCF) where is a reclamation area constructed by Contract HY/2010/02 under Environmental Permit No. EP/353/2009/I.
Upon the agreement and confirmation between the Supervising Officer
Representatives and Contractors of HY/2010/02
and HY/2012/07 in September 2015, the
reclamation area for southern landfall was subsequently handed-over to Contract No. HY/2012/07.
The construction phase of the Contract commenced on 31
October 2013 and will tentatively be completed by 2018. The impact monitoring of the EM&A programme, including air quality, noise, water quality and marine
ecological monitoring as well as environmental site inspections, commenced on
31 October 2013.
This is the Twenty-third Monthly EM&A report
presenting the EM&A works carried out during the period from 1 to 30
September 2015 for the Southern Connection Viaduct
Section in accordance with the Updated EM&A Manual of the
TM-CLK Link Project. As informed by the Contractor, major

Impact Dolphin
Monitoring
During
this month of dolphin monitoring, no unacceptable impact from the construction
activities of the TM-CLKL Southern Connection Viaduct Section on Chinese White
Dolphins was noticeable from general observations. Due to monthly variation in dolphin
occurrence within the study area, it would be more appropriate to draw
conclusion on whether any impacts on dolphins have been detected related to the
construction activities of the TM-CLKL Southern Connection Viaduct Section in
the quarterly EM&A reports, where comparison on distribution, group size
and encounter rates of dolphins between the quarterly impact monitoring period
and baseline monitoring period will be made.
Daily marine mammal exclusion zone monitoring was
undertaken during the period of marine works under this Contract. No sighting of the Indo-Pacific humpback
dolphin Sousa chinensis
(i.e. Chinese White Dolphin) was recorded in September 2015 during the
exclusion zone monitoring. No
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) was implemented as the marine works were not
carried out outside the daylight hours in this reporting month.

are mainly associated with dust, noise, marine water quality, marine ecology
and waste management issues.
According to the findings of the Northwest New
Territories (NWNT) Traffic and Infrastructure Review conducted by the Transport
Department, Tuen Mun Road,
Ting Kau Bridge, Lantau Link and North Lantau Highway
would be operating beyond capacity after 2016.
This forecast has been based on the estimated increase in cross boundary
traffic, developments in the Northwest New Territories (NWNT), and possible
developments in North Lantau, including the Airport developments, the Lantau
Logistics Park (LLP) and the Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macao Bridge (HZMB). In order to cope with the anticipated traffic
demand, two new road sections between NWNT and North Lantau – Tuen Mun – Chek
Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL) and Tuen
Mun Western Bypass (TMWB) are proposed.
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of TM-CLKL
(the Project) was prepared in accordance with the EIA Study Brief (No. ESB-175/2007) and the Technical
Memorandum of the Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM). The EIA Report was submitted under the
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) in August 2009. Subsequent to the approval of the EIA Report
(EIAO Register Number AEIAR-146/2009), an Environmental Permit (EP-354/2009) for TM-CLKL was granted by
the Director of Environmental Protection (DEP) on 4 November 2009, and EP
variation (EP-354/2009/A) was issued
on 8 December 2010.

Table 2.11 Impact Dolphin Monitoring Line Transect
Co-ordinates
The Action and Limit levels of dolphin impact
monitoring are shown in Appendix D. The Event and Action plan is presented in Appendix L.
A total of 303.46 km of survey effort was collected,
with 99.0% of the total survey effort being conducted under favourable weather
conditions (i.e. Beaufort Sea State 3 or below with good visibility) during the
surveys in September 2015. Among the two
areas, 115.34 km and 188.12 km of survey effort were collected from NEL and NWL
survey areas respectively. The total
survey effort conducted on primary and secondary lines were 221.51 km and 81.95
km respectively. The survey efforts are
summarized in Appendix K.
Seven (7) groups of fifty-four (54) Chinese White
Dolphins were sighted during the two sets of monitoring surveys in September
2015. All seven (7) dolphin sightings
were made in NWL, while none was sighted in NEL. During the surveys in September 2015, all
seven (7) dolphin sightings were made on primary lines during on-effort
search. No sighting was made in the
proximity of the Project’s alignment.
The distribution of dolphin sighting during the reporting month is shown
in Figure 2.5.
Encounter
rates of Chinese White Dolphins are deduced from the survey effort and
on-effort sighting data made under favourable
conditions (Beaufort 3 or below) in September 2015 are shown in Tables 2.12 & 2.13.

No
unacceptable impact from the construction activities of the TM-CLKL Southern
Connection Viaduct Section on Chinese White Dolphins was noticeable from
general observations during the dolphin monitoring in this reporting month.
Due
to monthly variation in dolphin occurrence within the study area, it would be
more appropriate to draw conclusion on whether any impacts on dolphins have
been detected related to the construction activities of the TM-CLKL Southern
Connection Viaduct Section in the quarterly EM&A reports, where comparison
on distribution, group size and encounter rates of dolphins between the
quarterly impact monitoring period and baseline monitoring period will be made.
Daily 250 m marine mammal exclusion zone
monitoring was undertaken during the period of marine works activities being
undertaken. No sighting of Indo-Pacific
humpback dolphin Sousa chinensis (i.e. Chinese White Dolphin) were recorded in
September 2015 during the exclusion zone monitoring.
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) was
decommissioned as no marine works was carried out outside the daylight hours in
this reporting month. Daytime marine
mammal exclusion zone was still in effect to cater for temporary staging
installation and uninstallation works.
