Future Key Issues
ES14
In upcoming wet season, preventive measures for muddy
water or other water pollutants from site surface flow to local stream such as Kong Yiu Channel, Ma
Wat Channel, Ping Yuen River or public area would be the key issue. The Contractors should paid special attention on water
quality mitigation measures and fully implement according ISEMM of the EM&A
Manual, in particular for working areas near Ma Wat Channel and Ping Yuen
River.
Moreover, all effluent discharge shall be ensure to fulfill Technical
Memorandum of Effluent Discharged into Drainage and Sewerage Systems, inland
and Coastal Waters criteria or discharge permits stipulation.
ES15
Construction noise would
be a key environmental issue during construction work of the Project. Noise mitigation measures such as using
quiet plants should be implemented in accordance with the EM&A requirement.
ES16
Since most of construction sites under the Project are
located adjacent to villages, the Contractors should fully
implement air quality mitigation measures to reduce construction dust emission.

locations was questionable due to safety reason or denied by the landlords,
alternative locations therefore have had proposed. The proposed alternative
monitoring locations has updated in the revised EM&A Programme
which verified by IEC and certified by ET Leader prior submitted to EPD on 10
July 2013. Table 3-2, Table
3-3 and Table 3-4 are respectively listed the air quality, construction
noise and water quality monitoring locations for the Project and a map showing
