● Pull out the knob and return it to MEASURE position.

● Setting time period of 1 hour for the 1-hour TSP measurement.

● Push “START/STOP” to start the 1-hour TSP measurement.

● Regular checking of the time period setting to ensure monitoring time of 1 hour.

Maintenance and Calibration

● The 1-hour dust meter would be checked at 3-month intervals and calibrated at 1-year intervals throughout all stages of the air quality monitoring.

● Calibration records for direct dust meters are given in Appendix F.

2.8 Monitoring Results

The monitoring results for 1-hour TSP at AMS1-T, AMS2 and AMS4 are summarized in Table 2.6. Detailed impact air quality monitoring results are presented in Appendix G.

Table 2.6: Summary of 1-hour TSP Monitoring Results During the Reporting Period

AMS1-T	48	34	61	283	500
AMS2	46	30	62	280	500
AMS4	46	36	66	287	500

There was no Action and Limit Level exceedance of 1-hr TSP level recorded at station AMS1-T, AMS2 and AMS4 by the ET during the reporting period.

2.9 Wind Data

Wind data at Kai Tak automatic weather station collected from the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) were used for the air quality monitoring and they are shown in Appendix H. It is considered that the wind data obtained at the existing Kai Tak wind station are representative of the Project area and could be used for undertaking the construction phase baseline and impact air quality monitoring programme for the Project.

The proposed use of the existing wind data from Kai Tak automatic weather station collected from HKO for wind data collection instead of setting up wind monitoring equipment near the monitoring stations was proposed by ET and agreed by IEC in accordance with the requirements as stated in Section 3.4.7 of the EM&A Manual of the Project.

3 Noise Monitoring

3.1 Introduction

In accordance with the EM&A Manual, impact noise monitoring was conducted at least once per week for each noise monitoring location during the construction phase of the Project.

3.2 Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

Table 3.1 summarises the monitoring parameters, frequency and duration of impact noise monitoring.

Table 3.1: Noise Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

Parameter

Frequency and Duration

30-minutes measurement at each monitoring station between 0700 and 1900 on normal weekdays (Monday to Saturday).

L_eq, L₁₀ and L₉₀ would be recorded.

At least once per week

3.3 Monitoring Locations

According to the approved EM&A Manual, a total of seven noise monitoring stations were identified for the impact monitoring locations. Of these, four noise sensitive receivers are planned residential use (NMS1A, NMS2A, NMS3 and NMS5). Table 3.2 describes the details of the monitoring stations and Figure 3.1 shows the locations of noise monitoring stations.

Table 3.2: Construction Noise Monitoring Locations

Monitoring Station	Location Description	Status
NMS1	Hong Kong Society for the Blind Workshop, Roof Floor	Existing Noise Sensitive Receiver (not accessible from 1 September 2022)
NMS2	Sky Tower, Podium of Tower 7	Existing Noise Sensitive Receiver
NMS4	Retail Building in front of The Henley, Rooftop	Existing Noise Sensitive Receiver
NMS1A	Sung Wong Toi Road Public Housing Site	Planned Noise Sensitive Receiver
NMS2A	Sung Wong Toi Road CDA Site (mixed use)	Planned Noise Sensitive Receiver
NMS3	Kai Tak Area 2B Site 4 (2B4) (residential use)	Planned Noise Sensitive Receiver
NMS5	Kai Tak Area 1L Site 3 (1L3) (residential use)	Planned Noise Sensitive Receiver

During the reporting period, monitoring locations NMS2 and NMS4 were set up at the proposed locations for impact monitoring.

Since NMS1A & NMS2A are planned (i.e. not existing) noise sensitive receivers, noise monitoring should be carried out initially at NMS1 and NMS2 respectively before the population intake of the planned developments. Once the planned developments are completed and occupied, NMS1A shall replace NMS1, while NMS2A shall replace NMS2. It is proposed that the baseline noise level and Limit Level at NMS1A and NMS2A will be the same as those derived from the baseline monitoring data recorded at NMS1 and NMS2 respectively.

Permission on setting up and carrying out impact monitoring works at NMS3 and NMS5 will be sought once each respective development is completed and occupied.

During the reporting period, monitoring station NMS1 was no longer open for impact monitoring from 1 September 2022, due to relocation of the Hong Kong Society for the Blind Workshop. Temporary noise monitoring station, NMS1-T, was used to conduct noise monitoring during the reporting period. Details of temporary alternative monitoring locations are presented in Temporary Alternative Proposal for Monitoring Station as proposed by ET and agreed by IEC dated 6 January 2021. The details of temporary monitoring station are described in Table 3.3 and the location of noise monitoring station is shown in Figure 3.1.

3.5 Monitoring Schedule for the Reporting Period

The schedule for noise monitoring in the reporting period is presented in Appendix E.

3.6 Monitoring Equipment

Noise monitoring was performed using sound level meters at each designed monitoring station. The sound level meters deployed comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission Publications (IEC) 651:1979 (Type 1) and 804:1985 (Type 1) specifications. Acoustic calibrator was deployed to check the sound level meters at a known sound pressure level. Brand and model of the equipment used for noise monitoring under this Project is given in Table 3.5.

Table 3.5: Noise Monitoring Equipment

Equipment	Brand	Model No.
Integrated Sound Level Meter	Rion	NL-52 (serial no. 00643040)
Acoustic Calibrator	LARSON DAVIS	CAL200 (S/N 10227)

3.7 Monitoring Methodology

● Façade and Free Field measurements were made at the monitoring locations.

● For Façade measurement, the microphone head of the sound level meter was positioned 1m exterior of the noise sensitive façade and lowered sufficiently so that the building’s external wall acts as a reflecting surface.

● For free field, the microphone of the Sound Level Meter was set at least 1.2 m above the ground.

● A correction of +3dB(A) was made for free field measurement.

● 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-minute intervals (between 0700-1900 on normal weekdays)

● Prior to and after each noise measurement, the meter was calibrated using a Calibrator for 94 dB at 1 kHz. If the difference in the calibration level before and after measurement was more than 1 dB, the measurement would be considered invalid and repeated after the re-calibration or repair of the equipment.

● During the monitoring period, the L_eq, L₁₀ and L₉₀ were recorded. In addition, any site observations and noise sources were recorded on a standard record sheet.

● Noise measurements were not made in presence of fog, rain, wind with a steady speed exceeding 5m/s or wind with gusts exceeding 10m/s.

Maintenance and Calibration

● The microphone head of the sound level meter and calibrator is cleaned with soft cloth at quarterly intervals.

● The sound level meter and calibrator are sent to the supplier or HOKLAS laboratory to check and calibrate at yearly intervals.

● Calibration records are shown in Appendix F.

3.8 Monitoring Results

The monitoring results for construction noise are summarized in Table 3.6. Detailed impact noise monitoring results and relevant graphical plots are presented in Appendix G.

Table 3.6: Summary of Construction Noise Monitoring Results During the Reporting Period
