Implementation of dust suppression measures stipulated in Air Pollution Control (Construction Dust) Regulation.  The following mitigation measures, good site practices and a comprehensive dust monitoring and audit programme are recommended to minimize cumulative dust impacts.

·       Stockpiling site(s) should be lined with impermeable sheeting and bunded.  Stockpiles should be fully covered by impermeable sheeting to reduce dust emission. 

·       Misting for the dusty material should be carried out before being loaded into the vehicle.

·              Any vehicle with an open load carrying area should have properly fitted side and tail boards.

·              Material having the potential to create dust should not be loaded from a level higher than the side and tail boards and should be dampened and covered by a clean tarpaulin.

·              The tarpaulin should be properly secured and should extent at least 300 mm over the edges of the sides and tailboards.  The material should also be dampened if necessary before transportation.

·              The vehicles should be restricted to maximum speed of 10 km per hour and confined haulage and delivery vehicle to designated roadways insider the site.  On-site unpaved roads should be compacted and kept free of lose materials.

·              Vehicle washing facilities should be provided at every vehicle exit point.

·              The area where vehicle washing takes place and the section of the road between the washing facilities and the exit point should be paved with concrete, bituminous materials or hardcores.

·              Every main haul road should be scaled with concrete and kept clear of dusty materials or sprayed with water so as to maintain the entire road surface wet.

·              Every stock of more than 20 bags of cement should be covered entirely by impervious sheeting placed in an area sheltered on the top and the three sides.

·              Every vehicle should be washed to remove any dusty materials from its body and wheels before leaving the construction sites.

·        DWFI compound for JVBC: a DWFI compound is proposed at the downstream of JVC to contain pollution in drainage systems entering the KTAC and KTTS by interception facilities until the ultimate removal of the pollution sources.  Tidal barriers and desiliting facilities will form part of the compounds to prevent any accumulation of sediment within the downstream section of JVBC and hence fully mitigate the potential odour emissions from the headspace of JVBC near the existing discharge locations.  The odour generating operations within the proposed desilting compound will be fully enclosed and the odorous air will be collected and treated by high efficiency deodorizers before discharge to the atmosphere.

·        Desilting compound for KTN: Two desilting compounds are proposed for KTN (at Site 1D6 and Site 1P1) to contain pollution in drainage systems entering the KTAC and KTTS by interception facilities until the ultimate removal of the pollution sources.  Tidal barriers and desiliting facilities will form part of the compounds to prevent any accumulation of sediment within the downstream section of KTN and hence fully mitigate the potential odour emissions from the headspace of KTN near the existing discharge locations.  The odour generating operations within the proposed desilting compound will be fully enclosed and the odorous air will be collected and treated by high efficiency deodorizers before discharge to the atmosphere.

 

·        Decking or reconstruction of KTN within apron area: it is proposed to deck the KTN or reconstruct the KTN within the former Apron area into Kai Tak River from the south of Road D1 to the north of Road D2 along the existing alignment of KTN.  The Kai Tak River will compose of a number of channels flowing with non-odorous fresh water and THEES effluent.  The channel flowing with THEES effluent will be designed with the width of water surface of not more than 16m.

 

·       Localised maintenance dredging: Localised maintenance dredging should be conducted to provide water depth of not less than 3.5m over the whole of KTAC and KTTS.  With reference to the water depth data recorded during the odour survey, only some of the areas in the northern part of KTAC (i.e. to the north of taxiway bridge) including the area near the northern edge of KTAC, the area near western bank of KTAC, and the area near the JVC discharge have water depths shallower than 3.5m.  The area involved would be about 40% of the northern KTAC and the dredging depth required would be from about 2.7m to less than 1m.  The maintenance dredging to be carried out prior to the occupation of any new development in the immediate vicinity of KTAC to avoid potential localized odour impacts at the future ASRs during the maintenance dredging operation.

Waste Reduction Measures

Good management and control can prevent the generation of a significant amount of waste.  Waste reduction is best achieved at the planning and design stage, as well as by ensuring the implementation of good site practices.  Recommendations to achieve waste reduction include:

·            Sort C&D waste from demolition of the remaining structures to recover recyclable portions such as metals

·            Segregation and storage of different types of waste in different containers, skips or stockpiles to enhance reuse or recycling of materials and their proper disposal

·            Encourage collection of aluminium cans, PET bottles and paper by providing separate labelled bins to enable these wastes to be segregated from other general refuse generated by the work force

·            Any unused chemicals or those with remaining functional capacity should be recycled

·            Proper storage and site practices to minimise the potential for damage or contamination of construction materials

Dredged Marine Sediment

 

The basic requirements and procedures for dredged mud disposal are specified under the ETWB TCW No. 34/2002.  The management of the dredging, use and disposal of marine mud is monitored by the MFC, while the licensing of marine dumping is required under the Dumping at Sea Ordinance and is the responsibility of the Director of Environmental Protection (DEP)

It will be the responsibility of the contractor to satisfy the appropriate authorities that the contamination levels of the marine sediment to be dredged have been analysed and recorded.  According to the ETWB TCW No. 34/2002, this will involve the submission of a formal Sediment Quality Report to the DEP, prior to the dredging contract being tendered. The contractor for the dredging works should apply for allocation of marine disposal sites and all necessary permits from relevant authorities for the disposal of dredged sediment.  During transportation and disposal of the dredged marine sediments requiring Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 disposal, the following measures should be taken to minimise potential impacts on water quality:

·         Bottom opening of barges should be fitted with tight fitting seals to prevent leakage of material.  Excess material should be cleaned from the decks and exposed fittings of barges and hopper dredgers before the vessel is moved

·         Monitoring of the barge loading should be conducted to ensure that loss of material does not take place during transportation.  Transport barges or vessels should be equipped with automatic self-monitoring devices as required under the Dumping at Sea Ordinance and as specified by the DEP

·         Barges or hopper barges should not be filled to a level that would cause the overflow of materials or sediment laden water during loading or transportation

Construction and Demolition Material

Mitigation measures and good site practices should be incorporated into contract document to control potential environmental impact from handling and transportation of C&D material. The mitigation measures include:

·         Where it is unavoidable to have transient stockpiles of C&D material within the Project work site pending collection for disposal, the transient stockpiles should be located away from waterfront or storm drains as far as possible

·         Open stockpiles of construction materials or construction wastes on-site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric

·         Skip hoist for material transport should be totally enclosed by impervious sheeting

·         Every vehicle should be washed to remove any dusty materials from its body and wheels before leaving a construction site

·         The area where vehicle washing takes place and the section of the road between the washing facilities and the exit point should be paved with concrete, bituminous materials or hardcores

·         The load of dusty materials carried by vehicle leaving a construction site should be covered entirely by clean impervious sheeting to ensure dust materials do not leak from the vehicle

·         All dusty materials should be sprayed with water prior to any loading, unloading or transfer operation so as to maintain the dusty materials wet

·         The height from which excavated materials are dropped should be controlled to a minimum practical height to limit fugitive dust generation from unloading

S10.8.2

 

 

For ex-GFS building, the following environmental mitigation measures should be undertaken during the course of the site remediation in order to minimise the potentially adverse environmental impacts arising from the handling of potentially contaminated materials:

Excavation and decontamination works

·        Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used by site workers during soil excavation.

·        All contaminated soil within the Study Area should be excavated and treated on-site at a centralized decontamination works area located at the northern part of the south apron

·        After excavation, confirmation sampling and testing should be conducted to ensure complete excavation of contaminated soils

·        Contaminated soil should be sorted and handled with respect of their contamination

·        Health and safety plan for excavation should be followed

·        The following remediation processes should be applied for different types of soil contamination

-          Biopiling for TPH/SVOCs contamination

-          Solidification / stabilization for metal contamination

 

 

 

Excavation and Transportation

·        Excavation profiles should be properly designed and executed.

·        Stockpiling site(s) should be lined with impermeable sheeting and bunded. Stockpiles should be fully covered by impermeable sheeting to reduce dust emission. If this is not practicable due to frequent usage, regular watering should be applied. However, watering should be avoided on stockpiles of contaminated soil to minimise contaminated runoff.

·        Stockpiles of contaminated soil should be properly covered by impermeable sheeting to minimize contaminated runoff from the stockpiles.

·        Excavation and stockpiling should be carried out during dry season as far as possible to minimise contaminated runoff from contaminated soils.

·        Supply of suitable clean backfill material is needed after excavation.

·        Vehicles containing any excavated materials should be suitably covered to limit potential dust emissions or contaminated wastewater run-off, and truck bodies and tailgates should be sealed to prevent any discharge during the transportation or during wet conditions.

·        Speed control for the trucks carrying contaminated materials should be enforced;

·        Vehicle wheel and body washing facilities at the site’s exist points should be established and used.

Biopiling

·        To avoid fugitive emissions of dust or any air pollutants from the biopile(s) and to minimise runoff from the stockpiled soils, the stockpiled soils at the biopiles should be covered by impermeable sheeting such that not longer than 5m of the biopile is exposed to open air.

·        Upon formation of a biopile, the biopile should be fully covered by impermeable sheeting to prevent dust emission and runoff.

·        Impermeable sheeting should be placed at the bottom of the biopiles and leachate collection sump should be constructed along the perimeter of the biopiles to prevent leachate from contaminating the underlying soil/groundwater. The collected leachate should be discharged following the requirements of Water Pollution Control Ordinance (WPCO).

·        The vented air from the biopile(s) should be connected to blower and carbon adsorption system with at least 99% control efficiency for treatment before release to the atmosphere. Exhaust air from the blower and carbon adsorption system should be monitored for TVOCs biweekly to check the performance of the carbon filter. The frequency of monitoring might be adjusted subject to review on site.

 

·        The biopiles should be fully covered by impermeable sheeting to control the extraction of VOCs.

·        Spent activated carbon of the carbon adsorption system should be replaced at appropriate intervals such that the VOC emission concentration from the system is acceptable (i.e. the measured TVOC concentration is below 20 ppm).

·        Silencers should be installed at the biopile blowers to minimise noise impact.

·        Contaminated runoff from biopile(s) should be prevented by constructing concrete bunds along the perimeter of the biopiles.

Solidification / Stabilization

·        The loading, unloading, handling, transfer and storage of cement should be carried out in an enclosed system.

·        Mixing process and other associated material handling activities should be properly scheduled to minimise potential noise impact.

·        Mixing of contaminated soils with cement / water / other additive(s) should be undertaken at a solidification plant to minimise the potential for leaching.

·        Runoff from the solidification / stabilization area should be prevented by constructing concrete bunds along the perimeter.

In order to minimise the potentially adverse effects on health and safety of construction workers during the course of site remediation, the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (OSHO) Chapter 509, and its subsidiary Regulations should be followed by all site personnel working non the site at all times. In addition, the following basic health and safety measures should be implemented as far as possible:

·        Set up a list of safety measures for site workers;

·        Provide written information and training on safety for site workers;

·        Keep a log-book and plan showing the contaminated zones and clean zones;

·        Maintain a hygienic working environment;

·        Avoid dust generation;

·        Provide face and respiratory protection gear to site workers;

·        Provide personal protective clothing (e.g. chemical resistant jackboot, liquid tight gloves) to site workers; and

·        Provide first aid training and materials to site workers.
