Agreement No. CE 69/2001 (HY)Environmental Impact Assessment • September 8th, 2008
Contract Type FiledSeptember 8th, 2008With reference to Clause 3.4 of “Guidelines on Choice of Models and Model parameters in Air Quality Assessment”, in urban areas such as Tsuen Wan, the urban surface roughness height is 370cm. On the other hand, since a large piece of water surface, Rambler Channel, locates at the western side of the study area (see Figure A4-K.1). Refer to “Summary of Meteorological Observations in Hong Kong” from 2002 to 2006 by Hong Kong Observatory, prevailing wind direction of 130 degree was recorded in 2006 at Ching Pak House automatic weather station, which is the nearest station to the Project area. In view of the observation that the prevailing wind direction is in parallel direction to the alignment of the structure, it is deemed that the breezes from seashore and inland are not dominating the flow of air pollutants, and so for their adverse effect on the surrounding potential ASRs. Since the project area is adjacent to both urban area and water surface, a weighted surface roughness with respe
