The proposed widening of Tolo Highway and Fanling Highway
between Island House Interchange and Fanling (the
Project) is a Designated Project under the Environmental Impact Assessment
Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO). An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
(the approved EIA Report) together with an Environmental Monitoring and Audit
(EM&A) Manual (the approved EM&A Manual) were completed and approved
under the EIAO on 14 July 2000 (Register Number: EIA-043/2000).
The objective of the Project ¡°Widening of Tolo
Highway / Fanling Highway between Island House
Interchange and Fanling¡± is to widen Tolo Highway and Fanling Highway
to dual 4-lane carriageway in order to alleviate the current traffic congestion
problems and to cope with the increasing transport demands to and from the
urban areas and also cross boundary traffic.
The construction works for this Project will be delivered in 2 stages
i.e. Stage 1 (between Island House Interchange and Tai Hang) and Stage 2
(between Tai Hang and Wo Hop Shek Interchange). Stage 2 would be implemented under two
works contracts. Contract No. HY2012/06 ¡°Widening of Fanling Highway ¨C
Tai Hang to Wo Hop Shek Interchange¡± and the
entrusted portion to CEDD under Contract No. CV/2012/09
¡±Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control
Point Site Formation and Infrastructure Works ¨C Contract 3¡±. This
report focuses on
Contract No. HY2012/06 ¡°Widening of Fanling Highway ¨C Tai Hang to Wo Hop Shek Interchange¡± in Stage 2 of
the Project only.
Pursuant
to the EP (EP-324/2008/A) Condition 2.7, the Capture Survey Trip Report for Ma Wat River Northern Meander (Version 2) for the Project was
submitted on 24 December 2013 by the Environmental Team (ET) and verified by
the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) on 6 January 2014.
The
construction phase of the Contract under the EP and the Environmental
Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) programme of the contract commenced on 21 November 2013. The impact
environmental monitoring and audit includes air quality and noise monitoring.
This report documents the findings of EM&A works conducted in the period between 1 November 2013 and 31 January 2014. As informed by the Contractor, construction activities in the reporting period were:-
- Ground investigation;
- Construction of site accommodation;
- Tree felling and transplantation; and
- Erection of hoarding.
There was no reporting change
required in the reporting month.
Breaches of Action and Limit Levels for Air
Quality
No exceedance of Action and Limit Level was recorded for
1-hour and 24-hour TSP monitoring in the reporting month.
Breaches of Action and Limit Levels for Noise
No Action Level exceedance of construction noise was recorded in the reporting month, since no noise complaints related to 0700 ¨C 1900 hours on normal weekdays was received and followed by Environmental Team in the reporting month.
No Limit Level exceedance
of construction noise was recorded in the reporting month.

According to the information of the Contractor (China State Construction Engineering (HK) Ltd.),
ground investigation for site preparation work was carried out at the area near
Fui Sha Wai
at Tai Hang of
Tai Po on 19 December 2013. The diesel-like smell was likely generated from the
exhaust of drilling rig during operation.
Upon the receipt of complaint
on 19 December 2013, the Contractor met the complainant to discuss for improvement
measures to be taken for the works on the same day. The Contractor subsequently extended the exhaust duct of the drilling
rig to a higher position for achieving a better gas dispersion and hence to
reduce the impact to the public on 20 December 2013.
The Contractor is willing to defer the operation time of the drilling
rig to later time in the morning to minimize nuisance caused to the public.
The noise and odour nuisance complaint is
considered project-related.
Air Quality Impact
l All vehicles should be washed to remove any dusty materials before leaving the site.
l Haul roads should be sufficiently dampened to minimize fugitive dust generation.
l Wheel washing facilities should be properly maintained to ensure properly functioning.
Construction Noise Impact
l Noisy operations should be oriented to a direction away from sensitive receivers as far as possible.
Water Quality Impact
l Stagnant water accumulated in drip trays should be removed.
l Silt accumulated at the public drain should be cleaned up.
l Silty effluent should be treated/desilted before being discharged. Untreated effluent should be prevented from entering the public drain channel.
Chemical and Waste
Management
l C&D materials should be sorted and removed timely.
l All plants on site should be properly maintained to prevent oil leakage.
l Oil stains on soil surfaces and empty chemical containers should be cleared and disposed of as chemical waste.
Landscape and
Visual Impact
l All retained trees should be properly fenced off at the works area.
