Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 2 March 2016, muddy water was observed at WM2B and throughout the open channel. It is suspected that the muddy water was came from the construction site of North Portal. 2. As advised by CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 2 March 2016 at North Portal (upstream of WM2B) were bored piling and slope work. In normal practice, the wastewater generated from bored piling was recirculated to the nearest AquaSed for treatment and no discharge would be made as far as practicable. However, a pipe carrying wastewater from bored piling to the nearest AquaSed was burst on 2 March 2016 morning and the untreated wastewater were getting into the open channel accidently. 3. CCKJV has immediate halted the bored piling work until the damaged pipe was replaced. Channel clearing was immediately carried out and muddy water in the open channel was pumped back to the AquaSed for treatment and recirculated for bored piling. However, the silt cumulated at the river bed was difficult to remove completely. During channel clearing, part of the muddy water was flowing out of the site and detected at WM2B. 4. It is considered that the exceedances were related to the pipe burst accident. CCKJV was advised to check the condition of connected pipe more frequently and ensure the wastewater treatment a facility is in proper function. 5. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2B has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was conducted on 3 March 2016 and turbidity and SS exceedances were triggered too. Although the exceedances were concluded as not project related, CCKJV should continue fully implement the water mitigation measures as recommended in the implementation schedule for environmental mitigation measures in the EM&A Manual.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 3 March 2016 at North Portal (upstream of WM2B) were bored piling and slope work. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 3 March 2016, very shallow water was measured at WM2B and the water depth was around 0.04m. (Photo 1) Although cumulated silt was observed at the channel bed, the water flowing in the channel and the samples collected at WM2B was visually clear. (Photo 2) Since the water sampling was carried out at the bridge over the drainage channel at shallow water, the sampled water could not avoid inclusion of the loose sediment and debris. 3. As advised by the CCKJV, the wastewater generated from the bored piling was recirculated and no discharge was made. As water mitigation measures, sump pits were constructed under the slopes to divert the site runoff for temporary storage and primarily desilting before divert to the AquaSed. Moreover, the slopes adjacent to channel were covered with tarpaulin sheet and hydro-seeding was carried out on the stabilized slope to minimize muddy runoff. 4. There were no rains recorded on 3 March 2016, therefore, generation of muddy runoff from the site was not likely to occur. In our investigation, it is considered that the exceedances were due to the shallow water and the disturbance of sediment at river bed. 5. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2B has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was carried out on 4 March 2016 and turbidity exceedance was triggered too.

As advised by the Contractor, the wastewater generated from the bored pile works was recirculated to the AquaSed for treatment and discharge would be made when the effluent is overflow from the AquaSed. Since discharge license was not yet granted for the Contract, self-monitoring for the effluent quality would be conducted by the Contractor if discharge is required to ensure the discharge effluent complied with the relevant requirements. According to the self-monitoring record by the Contractor on 4 March 2016 the treated water in the AquaSed was visually acceptable. (Photo 3) 4. There were no rains recorded on 4 March 2016, therefore, generation of muddy runoff from the site was not likely to occur. In our investigation, it is considered that the exceedances were due to the shallow water and the disturbance of sediment at river bed. 5.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided by the Contractor, the major construction activities carried out on 4 and 9 March 2016 included excavation, formwork erection, soil compaction, driven pile and bored piling which are illustrated in Figure 1. It is noted that the majority active construction area were not closed to Kong Yiu River. (Figure 2) 2. According to the field data record by ET on 4 and 9 March 2016, cloudy water was observed at WM1 whereas the water quality at WM1-C was visually clear. (Photo 1 to 6) 3. In view of the construction activities on 4 and 9 March 2016 and confirmed by the Contractor, wastewater was generated during the bored piling work only and the wastewater was recirculated for the piling work used. If water discharge is required, they will follow the temporary site drainage plan in which wastewater would be diverted to the perimeter channel and then collected to the wastewater treatment plant for treatment before discharge. (Figure 3) It is noted that the discharge point connecting public drainage was located at the west of the site and the discharge water would not flow to WM1 and its upstream. (Figure 3) 4. During site inspection on 2 and 9 March 2016, it was observed that the perimeter channel and the wastewater treatment facilities were in proper function. (Photo 7 & 9) The effluent from the AquaSed on 2 March 2016 was visually clear whereas no discharge was made on 9 March 2016. (Photo 8 & 10) Moreover, no major water impact was observed during site inspection on 2 and 9 March 2016. 5. In view of the topography of the construction site, the formation level of the site is lower than the roads bounding the site (around 2m height difference), it is considered that the wastewater generated on-site is not likely flowing out of the site boundary. (Photo 11) As advised by the Contractor, around 90% of treated water is reused on-site (water spread for dust suppression) whereas the rest of the treatment wastewater would be discharge off site at the approval discharge point.

Investigation Results,Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 8 to 10 March 2016 at North Portal (upstream of WM2B) were bored piling and slope work. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 8 March 2016, very shallow water was measured at WM2B and the water depth was around 0.02m. (Photo 1) The water flowing in the channel and the samples collected at WM2B was slightly turbid. (Photo 2) On 9 and 10 March 2016, very shallow water was measured at WM2B and the water depth was around 0.02m and the water flowing in the open channel was visually clear. (Photo 3 to 5) Since the water sampling was carried out at the bridge over the drainage channel at shallow water, the sampled water could not avoid inclusion of the loose sediment and debris. 3. As advised by the CCKJV, desilting of the open channel adjacent to the site was carried out during 8 to 10 March 2016 to remove the silt cumulated at the channel bed. (Photo 6) During the process of desilting, the turbid water inside in channel was blocked by the bar screen and sand bag barriers to prevent it flowing further downstream. Then, the turbid water in the open channel was pumped to the AquaSed for treatment and recirculated to the desilting works. The performance AquaSed was regularly checked by CCKJV to ensure it functioned properly. (Photo 7) 4. During site inspection on 10 March 2016, it was observed that desilting of open channel still carrying out. (Photo 8 & 9) Although stacks of sand bag barrier were provided in the channel to block the turbid water, it only retarded the flow rate and some of the turbid water was flowing out of the site and detected at WM2B. In our investigation, it is considered that the exceedance was due to the channel desilting. To enhance the mitigation measures, the Contractor was advised to provide more power pumps to facilitate the desilting work and minimize the amount of turbid water flowing out

of the site. 5. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2B has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was carried out on 11 March 2016 and turbidity and SS exceedances were triggered. CCKJV should continue fully implement the water mitigation measures as recommended in the implementation schedule for environmental mitigation measures in the EM&A Manual.

(Photo 1 & 2) 3. As advised by the Contractor, desilting of the open channel adjacent to the site was carried out on 10 March 2016. On 11 March 2016, the remaining turbid water caused by to the desilting work in the open channel was blocked by the bar screen to prevent it flow to further downstream. The turbid water was then pumped to the AquaSed for treatment and recirculated to the bored piling work. However, the water recirculation pump was detached from the water pipe accidentally and causing overflow of turbid water through the bar screen to downstream. (Photo 3 and 4) Although stack of sand bag barrier was provided after the screen bar, some turbid water was flowing to further downstream and detected at WM2B. 4. The Contractor immediately fixed the detached recirculation pump and water pipe and the function of the recirculation pump was back to normal in the afternoon. It is concluded that the exceedances were a single incident. 5. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2B has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was carried out on 12 March 2016 and no exceedance was triggered.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 11 March 2016 at Bridge D (upstream of WM2A) were mainly piling works. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 11 March 2016, turbid water was observed at WM2A (Photo 1 & 2). 3. As water mitigation measures, wastewater treatment facilities including one AquaSed and three series of sedimentation tank have been installed for piling work. (Photo 3 and 4) As advised by the Contractor, the wastewater generated from piling was recirculated and discharge could be made when water overflow from the AquaSed. Since discharge license was not yet granted for the Contract, self-monitoring for the effluent quality would be conducted by the Contractor if discharge is required to ensure the discharge effluent complied with the relevant requirements. 4. According to the photo record from the monitoring team on 11 March 2016, the condition of the water quality besides of Ping Yuen River of Bridge D was normal and no turbid water was observed. (Photo 5) Moreover, concrete block and sand bag act as a bund was provided at the area of the piling works besides of Ping Yuen River of Bridge D. (Photo 6) CCKJV advised that the construction of concrete bund will be continuously constructed along the piling area. 5. Since there were no trails of turbid water discharge from the construction site, it is considered that exceedances were unlikely due to the Contract. 6. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2A has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 10 March 2016 at Boundary Control Point (BCP) which upstream of WM1 was bored piling. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 10 March 2016, turbid water was observed at WM1 whereas the water quality at WM1-C was slightly turbid clear. (Photo 1 & 2) Moreover, during the course of sampling on 10 March 2016, turbid water was observed at upstream of the works area of Contract 6. (Photo 3) 3. As advised by the Contractor, the wastewater generated from the bored pile works was recirculated to the AquaSed for treatment and discharge would be made when the effluent is overflow from the AquaSed. Since discharge license was not yet granted for the Contract, self-monitoring for the effluent quality would be conducted by the Contractor if discharge is required to ensure the discharge effluent complied with the relevant requirements. 4. During site inspection by the RE, IEC, Contractor and ET on 10 March 2016, the effluent of the AquaSed was inspected and the effluent quality is visually clear. (Photo 4) Moreover, turbid water was observed at upstream of the works area of Contract 6 as well. In our investigation, it is considered that the exceedances were unlikely due to the Contract. 5. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM1 has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was carried out on 11 and 12 March 2016 and no exceedance was recorded. However, CCKJV should continue fully implement the water mitigation measures as recommended in the implementation schedule for environmental mitigation measures in the EM&A Manual.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided by the Contractor, the major construction activities carried out on 10 March 2016 included excavation, formwork erection, soil compaction, driven pile and bored piling and site investigation which are illustrated in Figure 1. It is noted that the majority active construction area were not closed to Kong Yiu River. (Figure 2) 2. According to the field data record by ET on 10 March 2016, turbid water was observed at WM1 whereas the water quality at WM1-C was slightly turbid clear. (Photo 1 & 2) 3. In view of the construction activities on 10 March 2016 and confirmed by the Contractor, wastewater was generated during the bored piling work only and the wastewater was recirculated for the piling work used. If water discharge is required, they will follow the temporary site drainage plan in which wastewater would be diverted to the perimeter channel and then collected to the wastewater treatment plant for treatment before discharge. (Figure 3) It is noted that the discharge point connecting public drainage was located at the west of the site and the discharge water would not flow to WM1 and its upstream. (Figure 3) 4. During site inspection on 9 March 2016, it was observed that the perimeter channel and the wastewater treatment facilities were in proper function and there were no discharge was made on 9 March 2016. (Photo 3 & 4) Moreover, no major water impact was observed during site inspection on 9 March 2016. 5. In view of the topography of the construction site, the formation level of the site is lower than the roads bounding the site (around 2m height difference), it is considered that the wastewater generated on-site is not likely flowing out of the site boundary. (Photo 5) As advised by the Contractor, around 90% of treated water is reused on-site (water spread for dust suppression) whereas the rest of the treatment wastewater would be discharge off site at the approval discharge point. 6. According to the above investigation, it is considered that the exceedances were not likely related to the works under the Contract.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 14 to 16 March 2016 at North Portal (upstream of WM2B) were bored piling and slope work. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team on 14 and 15 March 2016, very shallow water was measured at WM2B and the water depth was around 0.01-0.02m. (Photo 1 & 3) It was observed that the water flowing in the channel and the water samples collected at WM2B was visually clear. (Photo 2 & 4) Since the water sampling was carried out at the bridge over the drainage channel at shallow water, the water sample could not avoid inclusion of the loose sediment and debris. On 16 March 2016, the water sampling was conducted after shower and it was observed that the water flowing in the open channel was slightly turbid due to stir up of sediment at the river bed during rain. (Photo 5 & 6) 3. As advised by the Contractor, self-monitoring for the treated water in the wastewater treatment facilities was conducted and effluent was visually clear. (Photo 7) As water mitigation measures, sump pits with temporary channel were constructed under the slopes to divert the site runoff for temporary storage and primarily desilting before divert to the AquaSed. Moreover, the slopes adjacent to channel were covered with tarpaulin sheet or hard paved to minimise muddy runoff during rain. 4. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2B has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was carried out on 17 and 18 March 2016 and no exceedances were triggered. Nevertheless, CCKJV should continue fully implement the water mitigation measures as recommended in the implementation schedule for environmental mitigation measures in the EM&A Manual.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the CCKJV, construction activities carried out on 21 and 22 March 2016 at North Portal (upstream of WM2B) was pile cap installation work only. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team on 21 and 22 March 2016, very shallow water was measured at WM2B and the water depth was around 0.02m. (Photo 1&3) The water sampling was conducted during rain and it was observed that the water flowing in the open channel was slightly turbid due to stir up of sediment and cumulated silt at the river bed during rain. (Photo 2 & 4) 3. As advised by the Contractor, self-monitoring for the treated water in the wastewater treatment facilities was conducted and effluent was visually clear. (Photo 5 & 6) As water mitigation measures, sump pit was constructed near the pile cap area to collect the possible runoff and wastewater generated from the works before divert to the AquaSed for proper treatment. Moreover, hydro-seeding and shotcreting were applied on the stabilized slopes which adjacent to existing open channel to minimise muddy runoff during rain. (Photo 7 & 8) 4. Apart from the disturbance of cumulated silt at the river bed during rain, it was observed trails of muddy runoff from the public road surface into the existing channel due to rain. (Photo 1 & 3 & Figure 1) It is considered that the exceedances were likely related to cumulated silt at the river bed and muddy runoff from the public road surface. 5. According to the Event and Action, the monitoring frequency at WM2B has been increase to daily due to the limit level exceedance recorded until no exceedances were triggered in consecutive days. Additional monitoring was carried out on 23 and 24 March 2016 and exceedances of turbidity and SS were triggered. CCKJV should continue fully implement the water mitigation measures as recommended in the implementation schedule for environmental mitigation measures in the EM&A Manual.

Investigation Results, Recommendations & Mitigation Measures 1. According to the site information provided from the Contractor of C6 (CCKJV), the main construction activities carried out on 29 to 31 March 2016 at upstream of WM3 was bored pile works. The monitoring locations and works area are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 29 to 31 March 2016, the water quality at WM3 was slightly turbid. (Photo 1 to 3) 3. As water mitigation measures, CCKJV has been set up a temporary drainage channel to divert wastewater from bored pile work and wheel washing bay to the wastewater treatment facilities and they area under normal operation. The effluent from wastewater treatment facilities was mainly recirculated in the wheel washing basin and bored pile work and the excess water would be discharged to the nullah which connected to Ng Tung River. CCKJV would check the performance of discharge water every day to ensure it complied with the relevant standard. No adverse water impact was recorded during site inspection in late March 2016. 4. Upon the exceedance recorded on 29 March 2016, the ET has been liaison with CCKJV to investigate the possible source of turbid water. CCKJV and ET has inspected the treated effluent discharged into nullah which connected to Ng Tung River on 29, 30 March 2016, it was observed that the effluent quality was visually clear. Though some silt cumulated at nullah bed was observed on 31 March 2016, the water flowing in the nullah was visually clear. (Photo 4 to 6) 5. As advised by CCKJV, discharge of turbid water and accumulated silt was observed from an unknown outfall which located at between the works area of C6 and WM3. (Photo 7 to 9) There were no exceedances triggered in the additional monitoring result on 1 April 2016 when turbid discharge from the unknown outfall was not observed. It is considered that the turbid water detected at WM3 was related to the turbid discharge from the unknown outfall and unlikely due to the works under Contract 6.
Action to be taken The Contractor is reminded to fully implement the water mitigation measures as recommended in the implementation schedule for environmental mitigation measures in the EM&A Manual.

According to the site information provided from the Contractor of C2 (DHK), construction activities carried out on 29 to 31 March 2016 at admin building was building foundation works (rebar fixing and concreting) and no discharge was made. The works area under C2 and the water monitoring location WM3C and WM3 are shown in Figure 1. 2. According to the site record from the monitoring team during monitoring on 29 to 31 March 2016, the water quality at WM3 was slightly turbid. (Photo 1 to 3) 3. During weekly site inspection on 1 April 2016, it was observed that building foundation works was carried out at Admin Building and the site area was mostly hard paved. (Photo 4) Temporary drainage system and water treatment system was properly implemented. Inspection was carried out at the discharge nullah outside the site boundary and no adverse water impact was observed (Photo 5) 4. As advised by the Contractor of C6, discharge of turbid water and accumulated silt was observed from an unknown outfall which located at between the works area of C2/ C6 and WM3. (Photo 6 to 8) There were no exceedances triggered in the additional monitoring result on 1 April 2016 when turbid discharge from the unknown outfall was not observed.
