Environmental
Complaint
ES.04. In this
Reporting Period, one (1) verbal and five
(5) documented environmental complaints were received and lodged for Contracts
6. Follow up actions have been
undertaking by the Contractor to resolve the deficiencies. The investigation reports conducted by
the ET were submitted to relevant parties.
Notification of Summons and Successful Prosecutions
ES.05. No
environmental summons or successful prosecutions were recorded in the Reporting
Period. However, a warning letter
from EPD was issued to Contract 6 on 1 February 2016 regarding Non Compliance
(NC) with APCO for the non-covered dump trucks travelling to Fill Bank at TM
Area 38 on 14 and 18 January 2016 respectively. As advised by the Contractor, a briefing
and warning letter has given to the relevant drivers to prevent reoccurrence of
similar case.
Reporting Changes
ES.06. No
reporting changes were made in the Reporting Period.
Future key issues
ES.07. During dry
season, special attention should be paid on the potential construction dust
impact since most of the construction sites are adjacent to villages. The
Contractor should fully implement the construction dust mitigation measures
properly.
ES.08. The
Contractor was also reminded to prevent muddy water or other water pollutants
from site surface flow to local stream such as Kong Yiu Channel and Ma Wat
Channel or public area. Water
quality mitigation measures to prevent muddy runoff into nearby water bodies or
public areas should paid attention and fully implemented.
ES.09. 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.

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
