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 August 2024.

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,
L10, L11 and L12 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 August 2024 and the next calibration was scheduled in February 2025. 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-L12 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.

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 in
dry and wet seasons.
The
surveys for Units L9, L10 and L11 were completed in July 2007, August 2021 and
January 2023 respectively. The survey
for Unit L12 was scheduled tentatively in the coming winter and next summer for
dry and wet seasons respectively.

Note: 1. “---“represents the measured noise monitoring data lower than the
established notional background level/discarded
under strong wind/ bird sound.
2. Pursuant to the EM&A Manual (Operational
Phase), the corrections for accounting the differences of barrier attenuations
and atmospheric absorption attenuations for the noise monitoring station and
noise sensitive receiver are 5 dB(A) and 2 dB(A) respectively.

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.) |

further mitigation measures were found to be necessary provided the discharge
of cooling water and residual chlorine are kept below the rates assumed in
the water quality assessment*. *All discharges of effluent/wastewater shall be controlled through licensing under the Technical Memorandum for Effluents Discharged into Drainage and Sewerage Systems. Inland and Coastal Waters, issued under Section 21 of the Water Pollution Control Ordinance. |
