1 Introduction

1.1 Background

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 (VEP) (EP-354/2009/A) was issued on 8 December 2010. Subsequent applications for variation of environmental permits (VEPs), 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.

Under Contract No. HY/2017/10, Gammon Construction Limited (GCL) is commissioned by the Highways Department (HyD) to undertake the Northern Connection Tunnel Buildings, Electrical and Mechanical Works of TM-CLKL while AECOM Asia Company Limited was appointed by HyD as the Engineer.

Statistics on complaints, notifications of summons, successful prosecutions are summarized in Appendix G.

3 Comparison of EM&A Results with EIA Predictions and Baseline Monitoring Results

The EM&A results in the reporting period are compared to the predictions from EIA Report and baseline monitoring result for the sake of reviewing the validity of EIA predictions.

Land based construction activities were conducted during the reporting period. At the same time, monitoring on air quality, landfill gas hazard monitoring and waste were undertaken per plan.

3.1 Air Quality Monitoring

Based on the findings presented in TM-CLKL EIA study, the major sources of dust nuisance arising from the Northern Connection are related to excavation, wind erosion from reclaimed areas, open sites and stockpiling areas. Therefore, during these construction activities, the TSP monitoring frequency will be increased at all air quality monitoring stations such that any deteriorating air quality can be readily detected and timely action taken to rectify the situation. Comparison of EIA prediction, average baseline monitoring and average impact monitoring results of TSP is presented in Table 3.1.

Results of air quality monitoring were adopted from the published EM&A data of Contract No. HY/2012/08 Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link – Northern Connection Sub-sea Tunnel Section ([5]).

Table 3.1 Comparison of Impacts on Air Quality (in μg/m³) between EIA Prediction and Impact Monitoring Period

Station	EIA Predicted Maximum	Maximum Impact Monitoring	Average Impact Monitoring	Maximum Baseline Monitoring	Average Baseline Monitoring
ASR1 (1-hour)	195	584	137	182	125
ASR1 (24-hour)	148	237	83	173	128
ASR5 (1-hour)	235	425	159	211	138
ASR5 (24-hour)	133	196	93	249	167
AQMS1 (1-hour)	N/A	311	97	196	131
AQMS1 (24-hour)	N/A	127	57	211	127
AQMS2/ASR6 (1-hour)	226	478	117	226	135
AQMS2/ASR6 (24-hour)	153	191	70	221	166
ASR10 (1-hour)	189	242	75	215	134
ASR10 (24-hour)	112	146	51	181	129
Notes: Maximun baseline monitoring and average baseline monitoring were adopted from the published EM&A report of Contract No. HY/2012/08 Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link – Northern Connection Sub-sea Tunnel Section.

As shown in Table 3.1, maximum 1-hour and 24-hour TSP impact monitoring levels at ASR1, ASR5, ASR6 and ASR10 were higher than their corresponding EIA predicted maximum levels. In baseline monitoring, maximum baseline levels of 1-hour TSP at ASR10 and 24-hour TSP at ASR1, ASR5, ASR6 and ASR10 were also higher than EIA maximum prediction. These recorded maximum monitoring values during both impact and baseline monitoring periods are thus considered as sporadic events and fluctuation of regional air quality. Overall, most of the monitoring results were within EIA predicted levels during impact monitoring period. It thus appeared that the construction activities of the Contract did not cause significant impact on air quality with lower average TSP levels during impact monitoring/similar average TSP levels between the baseline and impact monitoring. The EIA has concluded that no adverse residual construction dust impacts will occur after implementation of mitigation measures. Thus, the monitoring results are considered to be in line with the EIA prediction.

3.2 Landfill Gas Hazard Monitoring

No exceedance of Action and Limit Levels for methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide was recorded in the reporting period.

3.3 Waste Management

For wastes generated from the construction activities include C&D materials (inert and non-inert), chemical wastes and recyclable materials, the wastes generated were in line with the EIA predictions. The wastes were disposed of in accordance with the recommendations of the EIA.

3.4 Summary of Monitoring Methodology and Effectiveness

The EM&A monitoring programme has been reviewed and was considered effective and adequate to cater for the nature of works in progress. No change to the monitoring programme was considered to be necessary.

The EM&A programme will be evaluated as appropriate in the next reporting period and improvements in the EM&A programme will be recommended if deemed necessary.

3.5 Summary of Mitigation Measures

The mitigation measures stipulated in the Updated EM&A Manual were undertaken by the Contractor in the reporting period. The mitigation measures were reviewed and considered effective. No addition or change on mitigation measures was considered to be necessary.

4 Future Key Issues

4.1 Key Issues for the coming period

Potential environmental impacts arising from the upcoming construction activities are mainly associated with dust, waste management and landfill gas monitoring issue.
