No exceedance of Action and Limit Levels was recorded for construction noise monitoring in the reporting period.  No action was thus required to be undertaken in accordance with the Event and Action Plan presented in Annex D2.

2.3     Water Quality Monitoring

2.3.1  Monitoring Requirements and Equipment

Water quality impact monitoring was carried out to ensure that any deterioration of water quality was detected, and that timely action was taken to rectify the situation if the deterioration of water quality is caused by the Project.  Impact water quality monitoring was undertaken three days per week during the reporting period in accordance with the EM&A Manual.  Each water quality impact monitoring was scheduled such that the interval between two water quality impact monitoring was more than 36 hours to record representative water quality data throughout the week.

Two (2) replicate in-situ measurements and samples were collected at each monitored water depth of each designated monitoring stations.  Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH value, salinity, temperature and turbidity were measured in-situ whereas the level of suspended solids (SS) were determined by SGS Hong Kong Limited which is a HOKLAS accredited laboratory.

The calculated Action and Limit Levels of water quality monitoring with reference to the Baseline Water Quality Monitoring Report are provided in Table 2.10.

Note(s):

(a)   For DO, non-compliance of the water quality limits occurs when monitoring result is lower than the limits.

(b)   For SS and turbidity, non-compliance of the water quality limits occurs when monitoring result is higher than the limits

(c)   For clarity, the exceedance of Action / Limit Levels for SS and turbidity is considered to occur when both the baseline percentile criteria (based on 95%-ile / 99%-ile of collected baseline data) and control station criteria (based on 120% / 130% of control station data collected on the same day during impact monitoring) are exceeded. In case more than one upstream control station is involved, the higher number would be considered as the control criteria. Exceeding either the baseline percentile criteria or control station criteria alone does not constitute the exceedance of the corresponding Action / Limit Levels.

 

The locations of the monitoring stations under works contracts ND/2024/09 and ND/2024/10 are shown in Figure 2.3 and Table 2.11. The copies of the calibration certificates for the equipment shall be referred to corresponding Monthly EM&A reports.

Subjected to the safety concern arise from the unleashed dog for the access path to U1a, another location of water quality monitoring (U1a’) was selected downstream from U1a. U1a’ is located along the same water stream of U1a and same water body as the impact monitoring station, and outside the area of influence of the works under the Project. Water quality monitoring was carried out at U1a’ on 1 and 9 December 2025. During a site visit with the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) on 12 December 2025, it was agreed that U1a and U1a’ represent the same water body; therefore, U1a and U1a’ are considered equivalent, subject to safety considerations when selecting the monitoring location. The Proposal of Alternative Water Quality Monitoring was submitted to EPD on 23 December 2025.

Subjected to the influence of ongoing river maintenance works in the San Tin Eastern Main Drainage Channel (STEMDC) affecting access and monitoring conditions at Station D1’, a temporary monitoring location (D1’T) was adopted along the same drainage channel system. D1’T represents the same water body and comparable downstream water quality conditions as D1’, while remaining outside the area directly affected by the maintenance works. Monitoring at D1’T commenced on 11 February 2026. No adverse comments were raised by the IEC during the site visit on 6 February 2026, and the Engineer’s Representative (ER) also raised no adverse comments regarding the temporary arrangement on 10 February 2026, respectively. D1’ and D1’T were considered equivalent for monitoring purposes. According to the latest information from DSD, the maintenance works are progressing downstream in three phases, tentatively completing by endMarch, endJune and endSeptember 2026, and will not extend upstream toward D1’T; therefore, monitoring results at D1’T remain unaffected.

Environmental site audits, including weekly site inspections of construction works by representatives from ET, Engineer and Contractor; and joint site inspection with Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) were conducted during the reporting period.  Based on the audit results and the observation for the reporting period, environmental pollution control and mitigation measures for the Project were properly implemented.
