EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Kwun Tong
Line Extension (KTE) Project was awarded to the respective contractors in late
May 2011. The EM&A programme for the Kwun Tong Line Extension (KTE) Project
commenced on 20 June 2011, the commencement date of construction of the
Project. This is the 42nd
monthly
Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Report for Kwun Tong Line
Extension (KTE) Project. The Report presents the results of EM&A works and
the impact monitoring for the construction works undertaken during the period
of 1 December 2014 to 31
December 2014.
The major construction activities in the reporting period included underground
utilities diversion, bulk excavation, adit and tunnel excavation, concreting
works and superstructure works.
No exceedance was recorded for TSP and
noise monitoring in this reporting month.
One complaint
incident regarding concerns of malodour, night time construction noise, and
effluent discharge from KTE work sites at Whampoa was referred by EPD on 19 Dec
2014. The complaint incident in specific of nighttime construction noise
concern has also triggered action level of construction noise monitoring.
Details of the incident please refer to Section 7 of this report.
All KTE related construction works at TKO Magazine site was completed by the end of December 2014 and the site will be handed over to other project under MTR.
Regular joint
site inspections, led by the ER with the presence of representatives from the
Contractors and Environmental Team, were conducted on a weekly basis to monitor
Contractors’ performance on environmental management and implementation of
environmental pollution control and mitigation measures for the Project. No non-conformance was identified in the
reporting period. Environmental concerned items raised during site inspections
have been followed up by the respective contractors in a responsible manner.
Future key
issues envisaged in the coming month include noise and dust emission, and site
water control issues at work sites. ET will continue the implementation of
EM&A programme in accordance to the EM&A manual. Details of future key
issues produced by construction activities are given in Section 12 of the
report.
The
Environmental Permit (EP-399/2010/B) dated on 7 June 2012 is being used for the
KTE Project.
MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) proposes to build a new railway line, the Kwun Tong Line Extension (KTE), otherwise referred to as ‘the Project’, which is an extension of the existing Kwun Tong Line from Yau Ma Tei Station to Whampoa area. The route length of the fully underground KTE is approximately 2.6 km with two new stations namely Ho Man Tin Station (HOM) and Whampoa Station (WHA), and a new ancillary ventilation building at Wylie Road.
The Kwun Tong Line Extension (KTE) Project was awarded to the respective Contractors Nishimatsu Construction Co. Ltd (NCC) and Chun Wo-Hip Hing Joint Venture (CHJV) for construction in late May 2011. The commencement of construction was on 20 June 2011. The construction of the KTE is expected to complete in 2015.

24-Hour TSP Levels Monitoring
The sampling procedure follows that described
in the App. B of Pt 50 in 40CFR Ch.1 (U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency). TSP is sampled by drawing
air through a conditioned, pre‑weighed filter paper inside the high volume
sampler at a controlled rate. After
24‑hour sampling the filter paper with retained particles is collected and
returned to the laboratory for drying in a desiccator followed by
weighing. TSP levels are calculated
from the ratio of the mass of particulate retained on the filter paper to the
total volume of air sampled.
The samplers should be properly maintained. Prior to dust monitoring commencing, appropriate checks should be made to ensure that all equipment and necessary power supply are in good working condition.
The flow rate of the high volume sampler with mass flow controller will
be calibrated using an orifice calibrator.
Initial calibration (five points) will be conducted upon installation
and prior to commissioning.
Calibration will be carried out every six months. Calibration
certificates are attached in Appendix
E.
To examine the construction dust levels, 24-hour TSP
monitoring was undertaken according to the EM&A Manual. The dust monitoring locations are shown
in the Section 2.2 above.
Monitoring results are presented in the following table and
Appendix F for
graphical plot. The 24-hour TSP monitoring results in the range from 15.7 to 184.7 µg/m3 recorded in the monitoring period shows that the dust levels
generated by the active construction activities were within the Action Levels.

B&K 2250 sound level meters which complied with
the International Electrotechnical Commission Publication 651:1979 (Type 1) and
804:1985 (Type 1), specification as referred to in the Technical Memoranda to
the NCO were used for the construction noise impact monitoring. The B&K sound level meter and
B&K 4231 calibrator are verified by the certified laboratory or
manufacturer in biennial basis and annual basis respectively to ensure they
perform to the same level of accuracy as stated in the manufacturer’s
specifications. In this reporting
period, sound level meters with serial number 2551244 and 2704791 were used
while calibrator with serial number 2725557 was used for checking the sound
level meters. All relevant calibration certificates are attached in Appendix
E for reference.
Immediately prior to and following each set
of measurements at any NSR, the accuracy of the sound level meter was checked
using an acoustic calibrator generating a known sound pressure level at a known
frequency. If the calibration
levels before and after the measurement differs by more than 1.0dB the measurement
shall be repeated to obtain a reliable result. Periods of prolonged or repeated
overloading of the sound level meter detector were avoided by setting the meter
with adequate headroom prior to commencing measurements. Measurements were recorded to the
nearest whole dB, with values of 0.5 or more being rounded up.
Impact noise monitoring of LAeq(30min) was
undertaken to measure construction noise levels in accordance with the EM&A
Manual. The noise monitoring locations are shown in Section 2.2 above.
The monitoring results corrected to the baselines in the range from 59 to 75 dB(A) are presented in the following table and Appendix F for graphical plot.
