Concluding
Remarks
The environmental performance of the project was generally satisfactory.
The operational phase Lamma Power Station
Extension commenced in mid October 2006 following the completion of erection
works and commissioning tests for Unit L9.
The Environmental Team (hereinafter called the “ET”) was formed within The Hongkong Electric Co., Ltd. (HK Electric) to undertake
Environmental Monitoring and Audit for “Operation of Lamma Power Station
Extension” (hereinafter called the “Project”).
Under the requirements of Section 6 of Environmental Permit
EP-071/2000/D, an EM&A programme for impact environmental monitoring set
out in the EM&A Manual (Operational Phase) is required to be
implemented. In accordance with the
EM&A Manual, environmental monitoring of air quality, noise and water
quality are required for the Project.
This
report summarizes the environmental monitoring and audit work for the Project
for the month of February 2021.

Summary of
EM&A Requirements
The EM&A program
requires environmental monitoring for air quality, noise and water quality. The EM&A monitoring work for air
quality, noise and water quality are
described in Sections 2,
3 and 4 respectively.
The
following environmental audits are summarized in Section 5 of
the report:
·
Environmental monitoring results;
·
The implementation status of environmental protection and pollution control
/ mitigation measures.
The future key issues for
the Project will be reported in Section 6 of this report.
In
accordance with the EM&A Manual (Operational Phase) for Lamma Extension, stack NOx is continuously monitored. Stack NOx monitoring data would
be checked against the Action/Limit Levels stated
in the EM&A Manual. The monitoring frequency is shown in Table
2.1 below:

2.2
Summary of Results and Observations
Monitoring of stack NOx was conducted during the operation of Units L9
and L10 in the reporting month. A
monthly summary of monitoring data is shown in Appendix C.
No Action/Limit Level exceedance on
stack NOx was recorded in the reporting month.
2.3
Implementation Status of Monitoring of Ammonia
Monitoring of ammonia for
the use of Selective Catalytic Reduction System for NOx control was conducted
pursuant to the requirement of Specified Process (SP) licence under the Air
Pollution Control Ordinance. No non-compliance
of SP licence requirement on stack NH3 emission was recorded in the
reporting month. The relevant data would
be submitted to EPD under a separate submission for the SP licence. To avoid
duplication of effort, the monitoring and reporting requirements for ammonia
under the SP licence will not be included in this EM&A programme.
In accordance with the EM&A Manual for Lamma Extension (Operational Phase), continuous noise monitoring at Ash Lagoon is carried
out to calculate the noise arising from the operation
of Lamma Extension at the critical NSR at Hung Shing Ye. Baseline noise levels are applied for
correction to the noise monitoring data.
The data after corrections would
be checked
against the Limit Levels specified in the
EM&A Manual.
The noise monitoring
location is shown in Figure 3.1. The monitoring parameter and frequency are
shown in Table 3.1 below:

With the endorsement of
the Independent Environmental Checker, the enhancement of calibration of sound level
meter at the noise monitoring station was implemented. The monthly manual on-site calibration using
sound level calibrator was replaced by the daily auto charge injection
calibration function of the sound level meter.
For additional quality assurance, manual on-site calibration is still
conducted for the noise monitoring station once every 6 months. The manual on-site calibration was carried
out in September 2020 and the next calibration was scheduled in March
2021. The verification of the sound level
meter/calibrator by the manufacturer or an accredited laboratory biennially /
annually remains unchanged.
3.2
Summary of Results and Observations
Continuous
noise monitoring was conducted at the monitoring station at Ash Lagoon. The monitoring results are shown in Appendix D.
No Action/Limit Level exceedance on noise was recorded in the
reporting month.
Figure
3.1 Location of Noise Monitoring Station
In accordance with the EM&A Manual for
Lamma Extension (Operational Phase), the monitoring requirements for the
EM&A work should strictly follow the discharge licence for L1-L10 &
GT57 issued under the Water Pollution Control Ordinance (WPCO).
The parameters as
stated in Table 4.1 were monitored and checked against the
Action/Limit Levels as given in Appendix B.

Summary of Results and Observations
Monitoring of various parameters as listed in Table 4.1 above was
carried out during the operation of Units L9 and L10 in the reporting month. A monthly summary of the data
is shown in Appendix E.
The data recorded for the
monitoring parameters were all below their corresponding Action/Limit Levels. No Action/Limit level exceedance was recorded
in the reporting month. There was no
foam present within 500 meters of Hung Sing Ye Beach in the reporting
month. Details of the foam observation report are also given in Appendix E.
The effluent quality was
generally satisfactory.

Implementation Status on Thermal Plume and
Residual Chlorine Surveys
One
survey for thermal plume and residual chlorine concentration at the seawater
around the discharges from the Lamma Power Station and Lamma Power Station
Extension shall be carried out after the commissioning of each of the
generating units for the Project. The
survey for L10 would tentatively be conducted in this winter and next summer
(2021) respectively.

Review of
Environmental Monitoring Procedures
The environmental monitoring procedures were regularly reviewed by the Environmental Team. No modification to the existing monitoring
procedures was recommended.

Mitigation Measures |
Implementation Status |
|
|
Air Quality |
|
|
A1 |
Implement the gas-fired units as base-load units. For the existing power station, the more efficient units incorporating FGD and low NOx systems shall be operated first under normal situation to meet system demand. In case of any deviations from this, EPD shall be notified of the details and circumstances for the deviation. |
Complied |
|
A2 |
HK Electric shall undertake annual revisions and update of its GHG
emissions inventory, which covers all HK Electric
existing facilities and new extension, for at least the six GHGs specified
under the Kyoto Protocol (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6). The inventory shall be established and
maintained in accordance with the latest IPCC Guidelines or any other
guidelines issued by Government, with details documented for regular reviews
and updates. The inventory shall be reported on an annual basis, including
actual figures and targets for the previous and current years, as well as the
next year's forecast. Discrepancies
for actual versus target figures and actions for improvement or enhancement
shall be discussed. HK Electric shall update the inventory according to the figures
of the electricity load forecast, upon every subsequent review by the
Government. This shall also be
reported in the annual report. (The annual report of GHG emissions inventory shall be deposited with the Director of Environmental Protection within three months after the end of the reporting period.) |
