Impact Monitoring. ESCAPE is concerned with setting up a tailored monitoring service to track and measure the impact of the communication activities carried out. A shared dashboard will visually render all the relevant data from our communications and online activities. Necessary adjustments will be made during the course of the project. This enables identification of any deviations from KPIs in the early states, allowing adjustments to be created and contingency plans implemented. Table 16 lists all the KPIs defined for ESCAPE Dissemination plan during the project timeframe.
Impact Monitoring. During normal construction working hour (0700-1900 Monday to Saturday), monitoring of LAeq, 30min noise levels should be carried out at the agreed monitoring locations once every week in accordance with the methodology in the TM. Other noise sources such as road traffic may make a significant contribution to the overall noise environment. Therefore, the results of noise monitoring activities would take into account such influencing factors, which may not be presented during the baseline monitoring period. General construction work carrying out during restricted hours is controlled by Construction Noise Permit (CNP) under the NCO. In case of non-compliance with the construction noise criteria, more frequent monitoring as specified in the Event and Action Plan in Table 2.3 should be carried out. This additional monitoring should be continued until the recorded noise levels are rectified or proved to be irrelevant to the construction activities.
Impact Monitoring. The ET is responsible for impact monitoring during the course of the Works. For regular impact monitoring, 24-hour TSP monitoring should be in the sampling frequency of at least once every week. In case of non-compliance with the air quality criteria, a more frequent monitoring exercise adopting 1-hr TSP monitoring undertaken when the highest dust impact occurs, as specified in the Event and Action Plan in Table 3.2, should be conducted within 24 hours after the result is obtained. This additional monitoring should be continued until the excessive dust emission or the deterioration in air quality is rectified.
Impact Monitoring. 4.7.7 The ET shall carry out impact monitoring at all designated monitoring locations for construction dust (see Table 4.1) during the entire construction period. For regular impact monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least once in every 6 days, shall be strictly observed at all the monitoring stations for 24-hour TSP monitoring. For 1-hour TSP monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least 3 times in every 6 days should be undertaken when the highest dust impact are likely to occur. Before commencing impact monitoring, the ET shall inform the IEC and ER of the impact monitoring programme such that the IEC can conduct on-site audit to ensure accuracy of the monitoring results.
Impact Monitoring. The ET Leader shall carry out impact monitoring during the course of the Works. For regular impact monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least once in every six-days, shall be strictly observed at all the monitoring stations for 24- hr TSP monitoring. For 1-hr TSP monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least three times in every six-days shall be undertaken when the highest dust impact occurs. Before commencing the baseline monitoring, the ET leader shall inform the IEC of the impact monitoring programme such that the IEC can conduct on-site audit to ensure accuracy of the impact monitoring results. The specific time to start and stop the 24-hr TSP monitoring shall be clearly defined for each location and be strictly followed by the field operator. In case of non- compliance with the air quality criteria, more frequent monitoring exercise, as specified in the Action Plan, shall be conducted within 24 hours after the result is obtained. This additional monitoring shall be continued until the excessive dust emission or the deterioration in air quality is rectified.
Impact Monitoring. 2.5.1 Noise monitoring shall be carried out at all the designated monitoring station. The monitoring frequency shall depend on the scale of the construction activities. The following is an initial guide on the regular monitoring frequency for each station on a per week basis when noise generating activities are underway:
Impact Monitoring. Weekly noise monitoring shall be carried out at all the designated monitoring stations to obtain one set of 30- minute measurement between 0700-1900 hours. General construction work carrying out during restricted hours is controlled by CNP system under the NCO. In case of non-compliance with the construction noise criteria, more frequent monitoring as specified in the Action Plan in Table 4.3 shall be carried out. This additional monitoring shall be continued until the recorded noise levels are rectified or proved to be irrelevant to the construction activities.
Impact Monitoring. Impact Monitoring will comprise sampling 3 days a week, at mid-flood and mid-ebb tides, during the dredging and sandfilling works. The monitoring will be undertaken at the specified eight stations as the Baseline Monitoring stations, as shown in Figure
Impact Monitoring. 5.17 The ET shall conduct noise monitoring at the designated monitoring station on a weekly basis when noise-generating activities are underway. One set of measurements is to be taken between 0700-1900 hours on Mondays to Fridays, except public holidays.
Impact Monitoring. 2.12.1 Traffic noise monitoring shall be carried out at representative NSRs within one year of the road opening.The following is an initial guide on the traffic noise monitoring requirements during the operational phase: • one set of measurements at the morning traffic peak hour on normal weekdays (exact timing to be confirmed with Transport Department and agreed with EPD); • one set of measurements at the evening traffic peak hour on normal weekdays (exact timing to be confirmed with Transport Department and agreed with EPD); • a concurrent census of traffic flow and percentage heavy vehicle shall be conducted for the road and the existing road network in the vicinity of each measuring point; • average vehicle speed estimated; and • the two sets of monitoring data should be obtained within the first year of operation. • Measured noise levels should be compared with predicted noise levels by applying appropriate conversion corrections to allow for the traffic conditions as the time of measurement. Appendix C1 shows a sample data record sheet for operational noise monitoring.
