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 three
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¡±. In addition, Contract No. ¡°Provision of
Bus-Bus Interchange on Fanling Highway Kowloon Bound¡± was carried out within
the site boundary of Contract No. 02/HY/2015. This report focuses on Contract No. HY/2012/06 ¡°Widening of Fanling Highway ¨C Tai Hang to
Wo Hop Shek Interchange¡± in Stage
2 of the Project and ¡°Provision of
Bus-Bus Interchange on Fanling Highway Kowloon Bound¡± under Works Order Nos.
CB128520-5 and CB128519-0 in Contract No. 02/HY/2015 ¡°Highway Department Term
Contract (Management and Maintenance of Roads in Tai Po and North District
excluding High Speed Roads 2016-2022)¡±. The construction works of Works Order Nos. CB128520-5 and CB128519-0
under Contract No. 02/HY/2015 have been completed on 23 May 2018.
Pursuant
to the EP (EP-324/2008/E) 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 2019 and
31 January 2020. As informed by the Contractor, construction activities of
Contract No. HY/12012/06 in the reporting period were as follows:
- Noise Barrier installation and maintenance
- Excavation
- Backfilling
- Sign gantry installation
- Road resurfacing
- Landscape works
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
Complaint, Notification of Summons
and Successful Prosecution
No notification of summons and
successful prosecution was received in the reporting period.
One (1) noise and dust related complaint was received on 14 November
2019 and followed up by the Environmental Team. The complainant complained about
dust and noise nuisance caused continuously by road construction works at Tai
Wo Service Road West. After investigation, there is no adequate information to
conclude that the complaint is related to this project.
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.
