Measuring Procedures
2.8 The measuring procedures of the 1-hour dust meter are in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Instruction Manual as follows:
(Sibata Model No.: LD-3B/LD-5R)
· The 1-hour dust meter is placed at least 1.3 meters above ground.
· Set POWER to “ON” and make sure that the battery level was not flash or in low level.
· Allow the instrument to stand for about 3 minutes and then the cap of the air sampling inlet has been released.
· Push the knob at MEASURE position.
· Set time/mode setting to [BG] by pushing the time setting switch. Then, start the background measurement by pushing the start/stop switch once. It will take 6 sec. to complete the background measurement.
· Push the time setting switch to change the time setting display to [MANUAL] at the bottom left of the liquid crystal display. Finally, push the start/stop switch to stop the measuring after 1 hour sampling.
· Information such as sampling date, time, count value and site condition were recorded during the monitoring period.
Maintenance/Calibration
2.9 The following maintenance/calibration is required for the 1-hour dust meter:
· Check and calibrate the meter by HVS to check the validity and accuracy of the results measured by direct reading method at 2-month intervals throughout all stages of the air quality monitoring.
24-hour TSP Monitoring
Instrumentation
2.10 High volume samplers (HVS) (TISCH Model: TE-5170) complete with appropriate sampling inlets was employed for 24-hour TSP monitoring. The sampler was composed of a motor, a filter holder, a flow controller and a sampling inlet and its performance specification complied with that required by USEPA Standard Title 40, Code of Federation Regulations Chapter 1 (Part 50). Moreover, the HVS also met all the requirements in Section 2.2 of the Annex II Specification.
2.11 The positioning of the HVS samplers are as follows:
·
A
horizontal platform with appropriate support to secure the samplers against
gusty wind shall be provided;
·
No
two samplers shall be placed less than 2 meter apart;
·
The
distance between the sampler and an obstacle, such as buildings, must be at
least twice the height that the obstacle protrudes above the sampler;
·
A
minimum of 2 metres of separation from walls, parapets and penthouses is
required for rooftop samplers;
·
A
minimum of 2 metres of separation from any supporting structure, measured
horizontally is required;
·
No
furnace or incinerator flue is nearby;
·
Airflow
around the sampler is unrestricted;
·
The
sampler is more than 20 metres from the dripline;
·
Any
wire fence and gate, to protect the sampler, shall not cause any obstruction
during monitoring;
·
Permission
must be obtained to set up the samplers and to obtain access to the monitoring
stations; and
·
A
secured supply of electricity is needed to operate the samplers.
Operating/analytical
procedures for the operation of HVS
2.12 Operating/analytical procedures for the air quality monitoring are highlighted as follows:
·
Prior to the commencement of
the dust sampling, the flow rate of the high volume sampler was properly set (between 0.6 m3/min.
and 1.7 m3/min.) in accordance with the EM&A manual (AEIAR-174/2013). The flow rate shall be indicated on the
flow rate chart.
·
For
TSP sampling, fiberglass filters with a collection efficiency of > 99% for
particles of 0.3μm diameter were used.
·
The
power supply was checked to ensure the sampler worked properly. On sampling, the sampler was operated for 5
minutes to establish thermal equilibrium before placing any filter media at the
designated air monitoring station.
·
The
filter holding frame was then removed by loosening the four nuts and a weighted
and conditioned filter was carefully centered with the stamped number upwards,
on a supporting screen.
·
The
filter was aligned on the screen so that the gasket formed an airtight seal on
the outer edges of the filter. Then the
filter holding frame was tightened to the filter holder with swing bolts. The
applied pressure should be sufficient to avoid air leakage at the edges.
·
The
shelter lid was closed and secured with the aluminum strip.
·
The
timer was then programmed. Information
was recorded on the record sheet, which included the starting time, the weather
condition and the filter number (the initial weight of the filter paper can be
found out by using the filter number).
·
After
sampling, the filter was removed and sent to the HOKLAS laboratory (High
Precision Chemical Testing Ltd.) for weighing.
The elapsed time was also recorded.
· Before weighing, all filters were equilibrated in a conditioning environment for 24 hours. The conditioning environment temperature should be between 25°C and 30°C and not vary by more than ±3°C; the relative humidity (RH) should be < 50% and not vary by more than ±5%. A convenient working RH is 40%.
Maintenance/Calibration
2.13 The following maintenance/calibration is required for the HVS:
·
The
high volume motors and their accessories were properly maintained. Appropriate
maintenance such as routine motor brushes replacement and electrical wiring
checking were made to ensure that the equipment and necessary power supply are
in good working condition.
· High volume samplers were calibrated at bi-monthly intervals using TE-5025A Calibration Kit throughout all stages of the air quality monitoring.
2.14 Impact air quality monitoring was conducted at five monitoring stations as scheduled. The monitoring schedule is shown in Appendix B.
2.15 Five (5) Action Level and One (1) Limit Level exceedance were recorded for 24-hour TSP monitoring in the reporting month. Details of the exceedance are presented in Appendix M.
2.16 The air temperature, relative humidity, and the precipitation data were obtained from daily extracts of Hong Kong Observatory Climate Information Service. This weather information for the reporting month is summarized in Appendix D.
2.17 The monitoring data and graphical presentations of 24-hour TSP monitoring results are shown in Appendix F.
2.18 According to field observations observed in the reporting period, the major dust source identified at the designated air quality monitoring stations are as follows:

No 24-hr TSP concentration was predicted in EIA
Report (AEIAR-174/2013)
2.20 In the reporting month the 24-hour TSP concentration at KER1 was higher than the prediction in the EIA Report, AEIAR-174/2013 (as approved in 2013), and this may due to the fluctuation of road traffic along Kai Hing Road which affected the result of 24-hour TSP concentration at KER1. Besides, the 24-hour TSP concentration at KTD1 was higher than the prediction in the EIA Report, AEIAR-174/2013 (as approved in 2013), and this may due to the fluctuation of road traffic along Shing Fung Road as well as the large amount of open stockpiles of excavated dusty material with insufficiency of dust suppression on site, which affected the result of 24-hour TSP concentration at KTD1. Five (5) Action Level and One (1) Limit level exceedance for 24-hour TSP were recorded in the reporting period. Details of the exceedance are presented in Appendix M.
3.1 According to the EM&A Manual (AEIAR-174/2013), construction noise monitoring was conducted to monitor the construction noise arising from the construction activities. The regular monitoring frequency for each monitoring station shall be on a weekly basis and conduct one set of measurements between 0700 and 1900 hours on normal weekdays. Appendix A shows the established Action and Limit Levels for the environmental monitoring works.
3.2 Noise monitoring was conducted at five designated monitoring stations, namely KTD1, KTD2c, KER1, CKL1 and CKL2 in the reporting period. Table 3.1 and Figure 2 show the locations of these stations.
3.3 The monitoring location at Kai Tak area has been reviewed and updated to obtain the data with higher representative based on several conditions, such as distance between monitoring location and the sensitive receiver, non-project related interference, obstruction to the construction works on site and the power supply problem. The monitoring location KTD1a and KER1b has been updated to KTD1 and KER1 respectively, where are the original location as proposed in the EM&A manual (AEIAR-174/2013). And the monitoring location KTD2c was remained unchanged after the aforementioned review.

3.6 The monitoring procedures are as follows:
· The monitoring station was normally be at a point 1m from the exterior of the sensitive receivers building façade and be at a position 1.2m above the ground.
· For free field measurement, the meter was positioned away from any nearby reflective surfaces. All records for free field noise levels were adjusted with a correction of +3 dB(A).
· The battery condition was checked to ensure the correct functioning of the meter.
· Parameters such as frequency weighting, the time weighting and the measurement time were set as follows:
- Frequency weighting: A
- Time weighting: Fast
- Time measurement: 30 minutes
· Prior to and after each noise measurement, the meter was calibrated using a Calibrator for 94.0 dB at 1000 Hz. If the difference in the calibration level before and after measurement was more than 1.0 dB, the measurement would be considered invalid and repeat of noise measurement would be required after re-calibration or repair of the equipment.
· The wind speed was frequently checked with the portable wind meter.
· At the end of the monitoring period, the Leq, L90 and L10 were recorded. In addition, site conditions and noise sources were recorded on a standard record sheet.
·
Noise monitoring would be
cancelled in the presence of fog, rain, and wind with a steady speed exceeding
3.7 The microphone head of the sound level meter and calibrator were cleaned with a soft cloth at quarterly intervals.
3.8 The sound level meter and calibrator were checked and calibrated at yearly intervals.
3.9 Immediately prior to and following each noise measurement the accuracy of the sound level meter was checked using an acoustic calibrator generating a known sound pressure level at a known frequency. Measurements were accepted as valid only if the calibration levels from before and after the noise measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.
3.10 Impact noise monitoring was conducted at five monitoring stations as scheduled. The monitoring schedule is shown in Appendix B. No Action/ Limit Level exceedance was recorded for day time construction noise monitoring in the reporting month..
3.11 Noise monitoring results and graphical presentations are shown in Appendix H.
