1. INTRODUCTION

Background

1.1 The Kai Tak Development (KTD) is located in the south-eastern part of Kowloon Peninsula, comprising the apron and runway areas of the former Kai Tak Airport and existing waterfront areas at To Kwa Wan, Ma Tau Kok, Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong and Cha Kwo Ling. It covers a land area of about 328 hectares. The Project also covers Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter and the adjacent water bodies. The general layout of the Project is shown in Figure 1.

1.2 Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) had completed an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study for KTD under Agreement No. CE 35/2006(CE) Kai Tak Development Engineering Study cum Design and Construction of Advance Works – Investigation, Design and Construction (hereafter called “Schedule 3 EIA Report”). The Schedule 3 EIA Report was approved under Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) in March 2009.

1.3 As recommended in the Schedule 3 EIA Report, EM&A programme shall be required for different phases of the KTD as a whole. In August 2010, Cinotech Consultants Limited was commissioned by CEDD to undertake the Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) works for KTD. Under the Contract, Environmental Team (ET(KTD)) shall oversee all the environmental issues within the Kai Tak Development (KTD), including but not limit to the Schedule 2 Designated Projects and other work contracts.

1.4 The Contract KLN/2010/04 was superseded by Contract No. KLN/2013/16 on 12 February 2014. EM&A Works for Kai Tak Development shall continue and reported under the new Contract.

1.5 Cinotech Consultants Limited was commissioned by CEDD to undertake the Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) works for KTD Contract No. KLN/2013/16. This is the 4^th Monthly EM&A report summarizing the EM&A works for the Project in June 2014.

Construction Activities undertaken during the Reporting Month

1.8 There are several works contracts undertaken within KTD during the reporting month. In order to collect relevant environmental information from the work contracts and incorporate into this monthly monitoring report, a survey form for monthly environmental performance records was sent to all work contracts/tenants within KTD on 30 June 2014. The survey form shall be returned by 5th each month to provide the environmental monthly information of respective work contracts within KTD.

1.9 Based on the returned survey form from work contracts and site observation for short term tenancy (STT) / temporary government land allocation (TGLA) during the weekly site inspection, the major site activities undertaken within Kai Tak Development (KTD) in the reporting month are summarized in Table 1.2:

1.10 The construction programme showing the inter-relationship with environmental protection/mitigation measures are presented in Table 1.3.

Table 1.3 Construction Programme Showing the Inter-Relationship with Environmental Protection/Mitigation Measures

Construction Works	Major Environmental Impact	Control Measures
As mentioned in Table 1.2	Noise, dust impact, water quality and waste generation	Ÿ Sufficient watering of the works site with active dust emitting activities Ÿ Properly cover the stockpiles Ÿ On-site waste sorting and implementation of trip ticket system Ÿ Appropriate desilting/sedimentation devices provided on site for treatment before discharge Ÿ Use of quiet plant and well-maintained construction plant Ÿ Provide movable noise barrier Ÿ Provide sufficient mitigation measures as recommended in Approved EIA Report/Lease requirement Ÿ Provide silt curtain for dredging and filling activities

Summary of EM&A Requirements

1.11 The EM&A programme requires construction noise monitoring, air quality monitoring, landscape and visual monitoring and environmental site audit. The EM&A requirements for each parameter are described in the following sections, including:

· All monitoring parameters;

· Action and Limit levels for all environmental parameters;

· Event Action Plans;

· Environmental mitigation measures, as recommended in the Schedule 3 EIA Report; and

· Environmental requirements in contract documents under Contract No. KLN/2013/16.

1.12 The advice on the implementation status of environmental protection and pollution control/mitigation measures is summarized in Section 6 of this report.

1.13 This report presents the monitoring results, observations, locations, equipment, period, methodology and QA/QC procedures of the required monitoring parameters, namely air quality and noise levels and audit works for the Project in June 2014.
