Notes:
(a) Adjustment is based on the latest 5-year average of the annual average of the daily hourly maximum ozone concentration (74 mg/m3) measures at Yuen Long Monitoring Station in Year 2002-2006.
(b) BPPS and CPPS contributions are included. Current power generating capacity of BPPS (2,500 MW) has been accounted for. NOX reduction has been considered for CPA and CPB, respectively.
(c) Since CPPS is located at different upwind direction of BPPS and STF, therefore only the BPPS contribution is considered. A factor of 0.5 is applied to adjust for the current power generating capacity of BPPS.
(d) Both BPPS and CPPS contributions are considered. No adjustment has been made to account for the reduced power generation capacity of BPPS and the future NOX reduction at CPB due to the implementation of the Emission Control Project.
(e) Only CPPS contributions are considered. Adjustment has been made to the future SO2 reduction at CPB due to the implementation of the Emission Control Project and no adjustment has been made to account for the reduced power generation capacity of BPPS.
(f) Sheung Pak Nai is not included in the wind tunnel testing in EIA for the Proposed 6000MW Thermal Power Station at Black Point (BPPS EIA Study); however, the worst wind angle for Sheung Pak Nai is similar to that for Ha Pak Nai. As it is located further away from the BPPS and CPPS than Ha Pak Nai, the Ha Pak Nai predictions were adopted as the worst case assumption.
(g) The daily and annual average NO2 concentrations are contributed by both BPPS and CPPS. For BPPS contribution, as indicated by the maximum hourly concentrations (due to BPPS only), the worst-case impacts at Tuen Mun Area 38 is about 30% higher than that at Butterfly Beach Area. For CPPS contribution, as no wind tunnel testing was performed at Tuen Mun Area 38 in the BPPS EIA Study, reference was made to the Emission Control Project to CPPS "B" Units EIA Study with regards to the CPPS contribution. The maximum concentration ratio predicted at Tuen Mun Area 38 is lower than the maximum concentration ratio predicted at Butterfly Beach Area as presented in the CPPS "B" Units EIA Study. Overall on conservative side, we assume that the total daily and annual BPPS and CPPS contribution at Tuen Mun Area 38 would be 30% higher than the total daily and annual BPPS and CPPS contribution at Butterfly Beach Area.
(h) No SO2 contribution from BPPS due to negligible SO2 emissions from gas-fired units.
(i) The daily and annual average SO2 concentrations are mainly contributed by CPPS. For CPPS contribution, as no wind tunnel testing was performed at Tuen Mun Area 38 in the BPPS EIA Study, reference was made to the Emission Control Project to CPPS "B" Units EIA Study with regards to the CPPS contribution. The maximum concentration ratio predicted at Tuen Mun Area 38 is lower than the maximum concentration ratio predicted at Butterfly Beach Area as presented in the CPPS "B" Units EIA Study. Overall on conservative side, we assume that the total daily and annual BPPS and CPPS contribution at Tuen Mun Area 38 would be same as the total daily and annual BPPS and CPPS contribution at Butterfly Beach Area.
(j) As the RSP concentrations were not assessed in the BPPS EIA Study, the ratio of maximum RSP to NOX concentration stated in the Specified Process Licence for BPPS and CPPS were applied to adjust RSP concentration contribution from the power plants.
(k) As no wind tunnel testing was performed at Tuen Mun Area 38 in the BPPS EIA Study, the highest RSP/NO2 ratio among all the assessed ASRs in this study is used as worst case estimate.

Notes:
(a) Emission limits are reference to 0oC and 101.325 kPa, dry and 11% oxygen content conditions.
(b) Average values over a sampling period of a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 8 hours. Including Sb, As, Pb, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, V and Ni.
(c) The unit is I-TEQ (The emission limit is equal to 0.1 ng I-TEQ m-3), according to the BPM 12/1, the averaging time for dioxin is 6 to 8 hours.
(d) The particulate emission limit is assumed to be RSP.
(e) The US emission limit is for total hydrocarbons.
(f) Calculated based on the total exit volume flow of STF emission under standard conditions and the US emission limit of 3.2kg over 24 hours period.
(g) Calculated based on the total exit volume flow of STF emission under standard conditions and the US emission limit of 10g over 24 hours period.
(h) In accordance with the US’s Emission Limits in Title 40 Part 503 of CFR on Sewage Sludge Incineration, the pollutant limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium and nickel are controlled by limiting the concentrations of these metals in sewage sludge to be incinerated.
(i) Conversion from ppm to mg/m3 for CO and total hydrocarbons,
Emission limit in mg/m3, at 7% oxygen = US emission limit in ppm´ molecular weight / (gas constant ´ standard temperature/standard pressure) x 10-3
Therefore,
Emission limit for CO = 100 x 28 / (8.314N-m/(mol-K) ´ 273K / 101325N/m2) x 10-3 = 125.0 mg/m3
Emission limit for total hydrocarbon (calculated as methane) = 100 x 16 / (8.314N-m/(mol-K) ´ 273K / 101325N/m2) x 10-3 = 71.4 mg/m3
In accordance with Annex VI of EU Directive 200/76/EC,
Ca, dry, Oa = Ca, dry, Os ´ (20.9-Oa) / (20.9-Os)
where Ca, dry, Oa is flue gas concentration, dry gas, at 11% oxygen,
Ca, dry, Os is flue gas concentration, dry gas, at 7% oxygen
Then,
Emission limit for CO in mg/m3, at 11% oxygen = 125.0 mg/m3 ´ (20.9-11) / (20.9-7) = 89.0 mg/m3
Emission limit for total hydrocarbons in mg/m3, at 11% oxygen = 71.4 mg/m3 ´ (20.9-11) / (20.9-7) = 50.9 mg/m3
(j) Conversion from mass to concentration for mercury and beryllium,
In accordance with Annex VI of EU Directive 200/76/EC,
Ca, dry, Oa = Ca, dry, Os x (20.9 - Oa) / (20.9 - Os) (eqn. 1)
Ca, dry, Oa = M / Va, dry (eqn. 2)
= M / [Va, wet x (1 - %H2O)] (eqn. 3)
Ca, wet, Oa = M / Va, wet = Ca, dry, Oa x (1 - %H2O) (from eqn. 3)
= Ca, dry, Os x (1 - % H2O) x (20.9 –Oa) / (20.9 –Os) (from eqn. 1) (eqn. 4)
Cs = M / Vs (eqn. 5)
By standard gas law, Pa x Va, dry / Ta = Ps x Vs / Ts
Since Pa = Ps, therefore, Va, dry / Ta = Vs / Ts
From eqn. 2 and eqn. 5, (M / Ca, dry, Oa) / Ta = (M / Cs) / Ts
Therefore, Ca, dry, Oa = Cs x Ts / Ta
From eqn. 4, Ca, wet, Oa = Cs x (Ts / Ta) x (1 - %H2O) x (20.9 – Oa) / (20.9 – Os)
where,
Oa: Oxygen concentration of flue gas, dry gas
Os: Standard oxygen concentration, dry gas
Ca, dry, Oa: Actual flue gas concentration, dry gas, Oa
Ca, dry, Os: Actual flue gas concentration, dry gas, Os
Ca, wet, Oa: Actual flue gas concentration, wet gas, Oa
Cs: Flue gas concentration at standard conditions
Va, dry: Volume of flue gas at emission point, dry gas
Va, wet: Volume of flue gas at emission point, wet gas
Vs: Volume of flue gas under standard condition, dry gas
M: Mass of pollutant in flue gas
%H2O: % of moisture in flue gas
Pa: Pressure of flue gas at emission point
Ps: Standard pressure
Ta: Temperature of flue gas at emission point
Ts: Standard temperature
For STF, for any pollutant,
Oa = 11%, Os= 11%, %H2O= 39.76%, Ta= 463K, and Ts= 273K;
Cs = 432,411 m3/hr
Therefore,
Ca, wet, Oa = Cs x (273K / 463K) x (1 – 0.3976) x (20.9 – 11) / (20.9 – 11) = 0.355 Cs
Therefore,
Emission limit for mercury in mg/m3
= US emission limit for mercury in kg/24hr ´ actual flow rate at the emission source (m3/hr)
= 3.2kg/24hr ´ 432411m3/hr ´ 0.355 = 0.87mg/m3
Emission limit for beryllium in mg/m3
= US emission limit for beryllium in g/24hr ´ actual flow rate at the emission source (m3/hr)
= 10g/24hr ´ 432411m3/hr ´ 0.355 = 0.0027mg/m3
[NO2]pred = 0.1 ´ [NOX]pred + MIN {0.9 ´ [NOX]pred, or (46/48) ´ [O3]bkgd}
where
[NO2]pred is the predicted NO2 concentration
[NOX]pred is the predicted NOX concentration
MIN means the minimum of the two values within the brackets
[O3]bkgd is the representative O3 background concentration
(46/48) is the molecular weight of NO2 divided by the molecular weight of O3

3.8.1 Construction Phase
l Use of regular watering, with complete coverage, to reduce dust emissions from exposed site surfaces and unpaved roads, particularly during dry weather.
l Use of frequent watering for particularly dusty construction areas and areas close to ASRs.
l Side enclosure and covering of any aggregate or dusty material storage piles to reduce emissions. Where this is not practicable owing to frequent usage, watering should be applied to aggregate fines.
l Open stockpiles should be avoided or covered. Where possible, prevent placing dusty material storage piles near ASRs.
l Tarpaulin covering of all dusty vehicle loads transported to, from and between site locations.
l Establishment and use of vehicle wheel and body washing facilities at the exit points of the site.
l Provision of wind shield and dust extraction units or similar dust mitigation measures at the loading points, and use of water sprinklers at the loading area where dust generation is likely during the loading process of loose material, particularly in dry seasons/ periods.
l Imposition of speed controls for vehicles on unpaved site roads. Ten kilometres per hour is the recommended limit.
l Where possible, routing of vehicles and positioning of construction plant should be at the maximum possible distance from ASRs.
l Instigation of an environmental auditing program to monitor the construction process in order to enforce controls and modify method of work if dusty conditions arise.
