Dust control measures stipulated in the Air Pollution Control (Construction Dust)
Regulation will be implemented during the construction phase to control
the potential fugitive dust emissions. In particular: ·
Water spaying on haul roads and
dusty areas for every hour during construction, ·
Covering the stockpile areas of at
least 70% area with tarpaulin sheet or impervious sheet; ·
Covering of dusty materials/spoils
on trucks by impervious sheets; ·
Controlling the dropping height of
fill materials; ·
Covering or storing all debris and
materials in a sheltered debris collection area; ·
Storing dredged sediment in a
separate enclosed tank; and ·

well-maintained plant should be operated on-site and plant should be serviced
regularly during the construction phase; ·
Silencers or

skid footing should be used and located within a few metres of stationary
plant and mobile plant such that the line of sight to the NSR is blocked by
the barriers. The length of the barrier should be at least five times
greater than its height. With reference to A Practical Guide for the Reduction of
Noise from Construction Works, the noise barrier material should have a
superficial surface density of at least 7 kg m-2 and have no
openings or gaps. |

shall apply at all times: ·
Dry excavation will be used, as

Attention will be paid to the
lifting speed of the grab to minimise the loss of sediment. ·
Excavated sediment will be
disposed of in a gazetted marine disposal area in accordance with the Dumping
at Sea Ordinance (DASO) permit conditions. ·
The marine vessels for
transport of sediment to the marine dumping ground will be fitted with tight
bottom seals in order to prevent leakage of material during transport. The barges will be filled to a level
that adequate freeboard is maintained to ensure that the decks are not washed
by wave action. ·
The contractor(s) will confirm
that the works cause no visible foam, oil, grease, litter or other
objectionable matter to be present in the water within and adjacent to the
excavation site. ·
For concurrent excavation works
at adjacent work areas (ie Work Areas I and II, and Work Areas III and IV),
construction will be carried out along the same flow direction (ie from
upstream to downstream / downstream to upstream) to minimise the overall
impacts to SS concentrations from adjacent work areas. |

for re-use/recycle. Day-to-day site operations of the Contractor should

The designer shall ensure that the design
of levels and dimensions are reasonably accurate to avoid unnecessary demolition,
excavation and fill. (iii)
The Contractor shall be encouraged to use
long lasting materials such as steel and poly-fibre for formwork on site. (iv)

the other sections of works or works contracts. (iii)
Temporary storage areas should be
identified to resolve programming mismatch between excavation and filling
works. (iv)
The excavated soft inert C&D
materials should be reused for backfilling the boundary patrol road, channel
embankment, etc. whenever practicable. (v)

assessed, the need for further archaeological survey and subsequent impact
assessment should be reviewed and AMO should be consulted. |

trees be unavoidable due to construction impacts, trees will be transplanted
or felled according to the Detailed Tree Survey and Tree Felling
Application. Established trees of
value are to be re-located where practically feasible. |

MM4: Compensatory Tree Planting - Where loss
of existing trees is unavoidable, compensatory planting of trees should be
provided in accordance with ETWB TCW No. 03/2006 to compensate for those
trees felled. Space is to be
allowed within the Project Site (mainly planting in riverbank landscape areas
of ~4.1 ha) for such planting. Plants will have 12 months to establish. Approximately 0.5 ha of compensatory
woodland planting (in addition to the reinstatement of the woodland (LR4) if
unavoidably affected) will be provided within the Project Site near Pak Fu
Shan. The proposed compensatory
woodland planting site will locate adjoining to the reinstated and existing
(undisturbed by the Project) woodland on hillside. The selection of planting species
shall be made with reference to the species identified in the Tree Survey and
be native to Hong Kong or the South China region. The compensatory woodland planting
should also adopt ecological design, ie provision of rare butterfly species
larval food plant (Trema sp.), and
further details refer to Section 7.11.3
of the EIA Report. The
arrangement of the on-site compensatory planting, ie tree/ shrub mix and Trema sp., will be subject to detailed
landscape design and planting plan, and recommended to be implemented prior
to the construction activities as far as practical. |

MM5: Screening – Stockpiles of materials
should be covered or hoarding erected where possible to reduce undesirable
views of the construction site (such as stockpile areas), having
consideration of safety and security.
It is proposed that screening be compatible with the surrounding
environment and where possible, non-reflective, recessive colours be
used. Hoarding should be taken
down at the end of the construction period. |

MM7: Reinstatement – Terrestrial areas
temporarily disturbed by the Project during construction, should be
re-vegetated with shrubs, ground cover or grass in order to restore the green
ambiance or LR as existed before the commencement of the Project to blend
with the new environment, eg the earth embankment underneath the boundary
patrol road near Pak Fu Shan should be planted to ensure the embankment structure
blends in with the new environment.

grassland on lowland, proposed boundary control road and fencing, where

MM9: River Area Enhancement Landscaping – The
river bed should be non-concreted as far as practical. The River bank and margins of
approximately 4.1 ha should be enhanced with vegetation to compensate for the
loss of existing vegetation and to enhance the visual and landscape value of
the river where slope gradient allows.
The typical design of riverbank landscaping areas for the Project is
presented in Section 7.11.3 and Figure 7.11 of the EIA Report. The overall objectives for the
landscaping works will be mainly concerned with ecological enhancement but also
include landscape enhancement. For
the sloping banks of the river, in order to guarantee safety of flood
prevention, ecologically and environmentally friendly materials will be used
as far as possible. The
preliminary proposed landscape treatment along the sloping river banks can be
classified into three types: natural vegetation, semi-natural and
artificial. Further details of
the river area enhancement plans can be found in Section 3 of the EIA Report, including protection of river bed
with armour rock only where necessary and provision of grassed, cellular,
reinforced concrete eco-friendly slope protection. Eco-bags are made of UV-resistant
Polyethylene gas filled with fiber soil.
Final details of the landscaping will be prepared during the detailed
design stage of the Project.. |

MM10: Flood Retardation Pond - The flood
retardation pond lies within the Shenzhen side of this Project. It should be planted with suitable
flora (both aquatic and, riparian) to enhance its landscape value. Subject to the details design and
planting plan, provision of wetland planting at the base of flood retardation
pond will be provided as far as practical and technical feasible. Final details of the landscaping will
be prepared during the detailed design stage of the Project. |

MM11: Floodplain Areas - The areas bound by
sharp turns in the natural meander of the river should be made into
floodplain areas to retain some of the riparian landscape at the river
margins. The overall objectives
for the landscaping works will be mainly concerned with ecological
enhancement but also include landscape enhancement (also refer to Section 7.11.3 of the EIA Report). Further details will be developed
during Detailed Design Stage. |

area. Lighter colours such as
shades of light grey, off-white and light brown may be utilised where
technically feasible to reduce the visibility of the structures. |
