The baseline air quality and
noise monitoring were carried out in accordance with the EM&A Manual, in
respect of the methodology, equipment, location and monitoring parameters.
The baseline air quality

The baseline air quality
monitoring results for AM1, AM2, AM3 and AM4 are considered representative to
the ambient air quality conditions of the respective sensitive receivers. The
Action and Limit Levels for the air quality were established based on the
baseline monitoring results.
Baseline noise monitoring was
conducted at monitoring stations NM3 and NM4. The baseline noise monitoring
results for NM3 and NM4 are considered representative to the ambient conditions
of the respective sensitive receivers.
Baseline noise monitoring station NM1 and NM2 could not be
carried out due to rejections from both property management offices of The Harbourside and The Arch. After all the alternative approaches had been
explored and exhausted due to site constraints or rejections, it is therefore
decided to make reference to the measured noise level from baseline monitoring
of the Hong Kong Section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link
(XRL) project with
Baseline landscape and visual
monitoring was conducted for the WKCD site, the underpass, and the flyover. The
baseline conditions of landscape resources, landscape character areas and
visually sensitive receivers are generally consistent with those in the EIA
report, while changes have been documented and incorrect information has been
amended.
Baseline water
quality monitoring has not been carried out because there is no marine
construction works to be carried out in WKCD. If any marine
construction works including modification of seawall and construction of
landing steps and possible piers are to be carried out in the future, baseline
water quality monitoring shall be conducted according to the methodologies set
out in the EM&A manual.
In conclusion, the Contractor is
advised to be aware of any site practice that may give rise to significant
pollution to the existing environment. Implementation of necessary remedial
measures should be instigated to rectify the potential impact on sensitive
receivers located in the vicinity of the construction area.
