Notes:
1. The dust and noise
monitoring stations proposed in the EM&A Manual for M-A6/ M-N6 (i.e. Ko Fai House, Kwun

agreed by the ER, IEC and EPD;
2. The noise monitoring
station proposed in the EM&A Manual for E-N12 (i.e. Grand Waterfront Tower
3) was not available for impact dust and noise monitoring, therefore impact
monitoring was conducted at E-N12a as an alternative which was agreed by the
ER, IEC and EPD;
3. The dust and noise
monitoring stations proposed in the EM&A Manual for E-A14 (i.e. Wyler
Gardens) and
E-N21 (i.e Hang Chien Court Block J) was not
available for impact dust and noise monitoring, therefore impact monitoring was
conducted at E-A14a/ E-N21a as an alternative which was agreed by the ER, IEC
and EPD;
4. The dust monitoring
stations proposed in the EM&A Manual for W-A5 (i.e. The Coronation) was not
available for impact dust monitoring, therefore impact monitoring was conducted
at W-A6 as an alternative which was agreed by the ER, IEC and EPD.
2.1.2 The last impact monitoring conducted by ET of Contract HY/2018/08 at
M-A3/ M-N3 was on 27 December 2023. Impact monitoring at M-A3/ M-N3 was

2.2 Construction Dust Monitoring
Monitoring
Requirement
2.2.1 In accordance with the approved EM&A Manual, 1-hour and 24-hour Total
Suspended Particulates (TSP) levels should be measured at the designated air
quality monitoring stations to indicate the impacts of construction dust on air
quality. Regular Impact 24-hour TSP monitoring should be carried out for at
least once every 6 days, and 1-hour TSP monitoring should be done at least 3
times every 6 days when the highest dust impact occurs.
Monitoring
Equipment
2.2.2 24-hour TSP air quality monitoring was performed using High Volume
Sampler (HVS) deployed at the designated monitoring station. The HVS shall meet
all the requirements of the EM&A Manual.
2.2.3 A portable direct reading dust meter was used to carry out the 1-hour TSP
monitoring.
2.3 Construction Noise Monitoring
Monitoring
Requirement
2.3.1 In accordance with the EM&A Manual, impact noise monitoring should be
conducted at the designated noise monitoring stations for at least once a week
during the construction phase of the Project. The parameters, frequency and
