North East New Territories connecting Sha Tin, Tai Po
and Fanling.
These highways form a vital part of the strategic Route 1, which links
Hong Kong Island to Shenzhen. At
present, this section of Route 1 is a dual 3-lane carriageway. However, at several major interchanges
along this section of Route 1, the highway is only dual-2 lane. Severe congestion is a frequent
occurrence during peak periods, particularly in the Kowloon bound direction.
2.1.2
The objective of
the 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.
2.1.3

4.1.1
In
accordance with the Updated EM&A Manual, 1-hr and 24-hr total suspended
particulate (TSP) levels at the designated air quality monitoring station are
required. Impact 24-hour TSP monitoring
should be carried out for at least once every 6 days. For the
1-hr TSP impact monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least three times in
every 6 days should be undertaken when the highest dust impact occurs.
4.2.1
The 1hr- TSP and 24-hr
TSP air quality monitoring were performed using a High Volume Sampler (HVS), of
which its location and operation satisfy, as far as practicable, all the
requirements as specified in the Updated EM&A Manual. The brand and model of the equipment are
given in Table 4.1.

The HVS and its
accessories were maintained in good working condition, such as replacing motor
brushes routinely and checking electrical wiring to ensure a continuous power
supply.
4.2.3
Calibration of the
HVS (five point calibration) using Calibration Kit was carried out every two
months. The HVS calibration orifice
will be calibrated annually.
4.2.4
The electricity supply of HVS at
AM1(SR77) was suspended from 16 May 2019 and was no longer available. In order
to have a more secure electricity supply, an alternative Handheld TSP meter was proposed to
use for the temporary monitoring of
24-hr & 1hr air quality from 22 May 2019. In this regard, IEC and ER have
no adverse comment on it. And Calibration certificates of the Handheld TSP
meter are provided in Appendix C.
4.3.1
Air quality
monitoring was conducted at the location specified in the Updated EM&A
Manual. Table 4.2
describes the details of the air quality monitoring station with its location as

4.5.1
With
the consideration of criteria stated in the Updated EM&A Manual, the HVS
was installed in the vicinity of the air sensitive receivers.
4.5.2
The
relevant data including temperature, pressure, weather conditions, elapsed-time
meter reading for the start and stop of the sampler, identification and weight
of the filter paper, and any special phenomena observed were recorded. The weather information was referenced
from Hong Kong Observatory (http://www.weather.gov.hk/wxinfo/pastwx/extractc.htm).
4.5.3
A
HOKLAS accredited laboratory with constant temperature and humidity control,
and equipped with necessary measuring and conditioning instruments, to handle
the 24-hr TSP samples, was employed for sample analysis.
4.5.4
Filter
papers of size 8"x10" were labelled before sampling. They were inspected to be clean with no
pin holes and conditioned in a humidity controlled chamber for over 24-hr and
were pre-weighed before use for the sampling.
4.5.5
The
24-hr TSP levels were measured by following the standard high volume sampling
method for TSP as set out in the Title 40 of the United States Code of Federal
Regulations, Chapter 1 (Part 50), Appendix B. TSP was sampled by drawing air through a
conditioned, pre-weighted filter paper inside the HVS at a controlled air flow
rate. After 24-hr sampling, the
filter papers loaded with dust were kept in a clean and tightly sealed plastic
bag, and then returned to the laboratory for reconditioning in the humidity
controlled chamber followed by accurate weighing by an electronic balance with
a readout down to 0.1 mg.
4.5.6
All
the collected samples were kept in a good condition for 6 months before
disposal.
4.5.7
For
1-hr TSP monitoring, monitoring methodology is the same as 24-hr TSP monitoring
which has been presented in Section 4.5.1 to Section 4.5.6, but with sampling period changed
to 1 hour.
4.6.1
As
informed by the contractor, all major construction activities of the Entrusted Portion
Project of Section 1A and 1B were substantially completed on 28 September 2018
and 3 October 2018 respectively. In such regard, the EM&A Programme of the
captioned project, including monthly EM&A reporting and the corresponding
environmental monitoring and audit works, is no longer required and we proposed
to cease it by the end of December 2018 and
we have submitted the termination proposal to EPD on 24 December 2018. And EPD
are replied the EM&A monitoring shall only be terminated when insignificant
environmental impacts of the remaining outstanding construction works are
expected and agreement of EPD. After that we have submitted the termination
proposal to EPD on 4 April 2019 again. EPD replied we need to provide the Final
EM&A Report to facilitate their consideration for the termination on 14 May
2019. Therefore, the EM&A monitoring and audit works will be ceased upon
EPD¡¦s approval for the termination proposal is approved. The tentative schedule for environmental
monitoring for the reporting month is provided in Appendix D.
4.6.2
Meteorological
data extracted from Hong Kong Observatory for the reporting
