i. This Monthly
Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Report is prepared for Contract
No. SPW 07/2020 “Environmental Team for Construction of Yuen Long Effluent
Polishing Plant Stage 1”. Drainage Services Department (DSD) has appointed
Fugro Technical Services Limited (FTS) to undertake the Environmental Team
services for the project and implement the EM&A works.
ii. This is the 6th Monthly
EM&A Report for the Contract which summaries findings of the EM&A
programme during the reporting period from 1 September 2021 to 30 September
2021. As informed by the Contractor, major activities in the reporting month
were:
Breaches of Action and Limit Levels
iii. No Action and
Limit Level exceedance was recorded for air quality monitoring and construction
noise monitoring in the reporting month.
iv. No Action and Limit
Level exceedance was recorded for water quality monitoring in the reporting
month.
v. No Action / Limit exceedance was recorded for noise levels at stations
(NMS1 and NMS2) in close proximity to the active
ardeid night roost. One active ardeid night roost site (ANR1) was observed
within the Survey Area during the September 2021 monitoring period, while the
other night roost site (ANR2) was not currently used by the ardeids.
Land Contamination
vii. Regular site
inspection was carried out to ensure the recommended mitigation measures are
properly implemented.
Complaint Log
viii. No complaints were
received in the reporting period.
Notifications of any Summons and Successful Prosecutions
ix. No notifications
of summons and prosecutions were received in the reporting period.
Reporting Change
x. There were no
reporting changes during the reporting month.
Future Key Issues
xi. The main works
will be anticipated in the next three months are as follow:
