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/C) 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 2015 and
31 January 2016. As informed by the Contractor, construction activities in the
reporting period were as follows:
- Ground investigation
- Piling works
- Pipe laying
- Retaining wall construction
- Noise barrier
- Excavation
- Backfilling
- Drainage
- Temporary bridge construction
- House construction
- Footbridge demolition
- Bridge construction
Reporting Change
There was no reporting change
required in the reporting period.
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 period.
Breaches of Action and Limit Levels for Noise
No Action or Limit Level exceedance of construction noise was recorded
in the reporting period. No noise complaints related to 0700 ¨C 1900 hours on
normal weekdays was received and followed by the Environmental Team in the
reporting period.
Complaint, Notification of Summons and
Successful Prosecution
No complaint, notification of summons or successful prosecution was received in the reporting period.
Future Key Issues
Key
issues to be considered in the coming month include:
-
Properly store and label oils and chemicals on site;
-
Chemical, chemical waste and waste management;
-
Collection of construction waste should be carried out regularly;
-
Properly maintain all drainage facilities and wheel washing
facilities on site;
-
Exposed slopes should be covered up properly if no temporary work
will be conducted;
-
Quieter powered mechanical equipment should be used;
-
Suppress dust generated from excavation activities and haul road
traffic; and
-
Tree protective measures for all retained trees should be well
maintained.
