The designated monitoring locations as
recommended in the EM&A Manual
are shown in Appendix D. As the access to some of the designated
monitoring 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
these monitoring stations is presented in Appendix E.

Air Quality Monitoring
3.4.1
Frequency of impact air quality monitoring is
as follows:
|
Ÿ
1-hour TSP
|
3 times every six
days during course of works
|
|
Ÿ
24-hour TSP
|
Once every 6 days
during course of works.
|
Noise Monitoring
3.4.2
One set of Leq(30min)
as 6 consecutive Leq(5min)
between 0700-1900 hours on normal weekdays and once every week during course of
works. If construction work
necessary to carry out at other time periods, i.e. restricted time period
(19:00 to 07:00 the next morning and whole day on public holidays) (hereinafter
referred as “the restricted hours”), 3 consecutive Leq(5min)
measurement will depended CNP requirements to undertake. Supplementary
information for data auditing, statistical results such as L10 and L90
shall also be obtained for
reference.
Water Quality Monitoring
3.4.3
The water quality monitoring frequency shall
be 3 days per week during course of works.
The interval between two sets of monitoring shall not be less than 36
hours.
Air Quality Monitoring
3.5.1
The 24-hour and 1-hour TSP levels shall be
measured by following the standard high volume sampling method as set out in
the Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Chapter 1 (Part 50), Appendix B. If the ET proposes to use a direct
reading dust meter to measure 1-hour TSP levels, it shall submit sufficient
information to the IEC to approve.
3.5.2
The filter paper of
24-hour TSP measurement shall be determined by HOKLAS accredited laboratory.
3.5.3
All equipment to be used for air quality
monitoring is listed in Table 3-5.

Wind Data Monitoring Equipment
3.5.4
According to the approved EM&A Manual,
wind data monitoring equipment shall also be provided and set up for logging
wind speed and wind direction near the dust monitoring locations. The equipment installation location
shall be proposed by the ET and agreed with the IEC. For installation and operation of wind
data monitoring equipment, the following points shall be observed:
1)
The wind sensors should be installed 10 m
above ground so that they are clear of obstructions or turbulence caused by
buildings.
2)
The wind data should be captured by a data logger.
The data shall be downloaded for analysis at least once a month.
