This is the 86th
monthly Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) report for the Project
“Construction of Lamma Power Station Extension” prepared by the Environmental
Team (ET). This report presents the results of impact monitoring on air
quality and noise for the said project in June 2017.
The reclamation and submarine pipeline works were completed with the first gas-fired combined cycle unit (viz. Unit L9) commissioned in October 2006, working currently on base load operation. To cope with the scheduled retirement of the existing units at Lamma Power Station, the second gas-fired combined cycle unit (viz. Unit L10) is planned for commercial operation in early 2020 and the associated construction work commenced in February 2016.
In September 2016, the Government approved HK Electric to construct the third combined cycle gas-fired generating unit (L11) to implement the 2020 Fuel Mix Target. L11 is planned for commercial operation in 2022 and the associated construction work commenced in November 2016.
Air and noise monitoring were performed. The results were checked
against the established
Action/Limit (AL) levels. An
on-site audit was conducted once per week. The implementation status of the environmental
mitigation measures, Event/Action
Plan and environmental complaint handling procedures were also checked.

Monitoring Procedures and Calibration Details
HVAS and MINIVOL (24- hour TSP Monitoring):
Preparation of
Filter Papers
· Visual inspection of filter papers was carried out to ensure that there were no pinholes, tears and creases;
· The filter papers were then labeled before sampling.
· The filter papers were equilibrated at room temperature and relative humidity < 50% for at least 24 hours before weighing.
Field Monitoring
· During collection of the sampled filter paper, the information on the elapse timer was logged. Site observations around the monitoring stations, which might have affected the monitoring results, were also recorded. Major pollution sources, if any, would be identified and reported. The flow record chart for the previous sampling was checked to see if there was any abnormality.
· The post-sampling filter papers were removed carefully from the filter holder and folded to avoid loss of fibres or dust particles from the filter papers;
· The filter holder and its surrounding were cleaned;
· A pre-weighed blank filter paper for the next sampling was put in place and aligned carefully. The filter holder was then tightened firmly to avoid leakage;
· A new flow record chart was loaded into the flow recorder;
· The programmable timer was set for the next 24 hrs sampling period;
· The post-sampling filter papers were equilibrated at room temperature and relative humidity < 50% for at least 24 hours before weighing.
TEOM continuous dust monitor (24-
hour TSP and 1- hour TSP Monitoring):
· The following parameters of the TEOM model dust meters are regularly checked to ensure proper functionality:
o Operation Mode;
o Frequency of the tapered element;
o Main flow;
o Bypass flow.
Maintenance
& Calibration
· The monitoring equipment and their accessories are maintained in good working conditions.
· Monitoring equipment is calibrated at monthly intervals. Calibration details are shown in Appendix F.
All
dust monitoring works were conducted on schedule. All monitoring data and graphical
presentation of the monitoring results are provided in Appendix

Continuous noise alarm monitoring at Ash Lagoon/Ching Lam were carried out to calculate the noise contributed by the construction activities at the two critical NSR’s, viz. Long Tsai Tsuen/Hung Shing Ye and the school within the village of Tai Wan San Tsuen. The impact monitoring data for construction noise were checked against the limit levels specified in the EM&A Manual. With the availability of the construction noise permits, impact monitoring for the construction work during the restricted hours was also carried out. Section 4 presents the details of the construction noise permits.
The impact
noise monitoring data were checked against the limit levels specified in
the EM&A Manual. Appendix B
shows the established Action/Limit Levels for noise.
In accordance with the EM&A manual, the identified noise monitoring locations of Ash Lagoon and Ching Lam are shown in Figure 3.1.

Monitoring Procedures
Continuous Noise Monitoring for Lamma Extension
Construction
The measured noise
levels (MNL's) were collected at the noise alarm monitoring
stations at Ash Lagoon and Ching Lam.
The notional background
noise levels (viz. baseline noise data at Ash Lagoon
and Ching Lam) were applied to correct the
corresponding MNL's in
30-min/5-min LAeq.
A wind speed sensor was installed at Station Building Rooftop. The wind speed signal was used to determine whether the data from Ash Lagoon and Ching Lam noise alarm monitoring stations were affected. The instantaneous data was discarded in case the instantaneous wind speed exceeded 10 m/s. The 30-min/5-min LAeq was considered valid only if the amount of valid data was equal to or above 70%.
Equipment Calibration
The sound level meters and calibrators have been verified by the manufacturer or accredited laboratory. Equipment for continuous noise monitoring was calibrated at least once per month.
Continuous noise monitoring was conducted at the two monitoring stations at Ash Lagoon and Ching Lam.
All monitoring results and their graphical presentations
are provided in Appendix E. No exceedance of noise Action/Limit Level was
recorded in the month.
