LIST OF ANNEXES
The construction works for the Proposed 132kV Cable Circuit Connecting
with Ting Lai Road Substation and Pak Shek Kok Substation commenced on 3
November 2010. This is the Twenty-second Monthly Site Audit Report
presenting the EM&A works carried out during the period from 1 August to
31 August 2012.
The major construction works undertaken during the reporting month include
backfilling and reinstatement.
Monitoring for air, noise, water quality, waste management and cultural
heritage is not required. The Contractor has implemented the mitigation
measures recommended in the PP and environmental requirements stated in
the EP, where applicable.
The monthly joint environmental site audit was carried out by the
representatives of the Contractors and Independent Checker. Details of the
audit findings are presented in Section 5.

Section 8 : Conclusions
2.1 BACKGROUND
A new 132kV cable circuit connecting Ting Lai Road Substation and Pak Shek
Kok Substation will be established in order to meet the increasing electricity
demand and to strengthen the electricity capacity in the Tai Po and Pak Shek
Kok areas. The proposed 132kV cable circuit will be installed in eleven
sections (S1 – S11) along the existing footpaths, cycle tracks and carriageways
running alongside Tolo Highway (see Annex A for project location). The total
alignment length is approximately 5km.
The whole alignment will be laid by trenching method (and will make use of
existing ducts if available) except for the two no-dig cable duct crossings at
Lam Tsuen River Channel and underneath the Tai Po Kau outlet within the
Conservation Area. Construction activities will involve:
The potential environmental impacts of the Project have been presented in the
PP “The Proposed 132kV Cable Circuit Connecting with Ting Lai Road Substation
and Pak Shek Kok Substation” (Register No. PP-417/2010), and an
Environmental Permit (EP-398/2010) (EP) for the Project was granted on 21
September 2010. Under the requirements of Condition 2.2 of the EP, the
implementation of all mitigation measures recommended in the PP shall be
audited by an independent checker.
The construction works of the Project commenced on 3 November 2010 (1) and
were scheduled to be completed by mid 2012. An updated construction
programme is shown in Annex B.
(1) It should be noted that the commencement date refers to all sections except Section 8 within the Conservation Area.
Construction works within the Conservation Area commenced since January 2011.
Note: (1) The Effluent Discharge Licence also applies to other projects in the same region.
Monitoring for air, noise and water quality is not required for the Project.
The mitigation measures recommended in the PP have been implemented by
the Contractor and checked during the site inspection.
3.2 ECOLOGY
Waste from the site formation works included mainly inert construction and
demolition (C&D) materials and non-inert C&D wastes. The mitigation
measures recommended in the PP have been implemented by the Contractor
and checked during the site inspection.
This is the last month’s environmental site inspection since all the construction
works, backfilling and site reinstatement were observed to have been
completed for all the eleven sections. The works were conducted according
to good construction site practice with no non-compliance recorded during the
audit.
The construction works had been completed by this month’s site inspection.
Hence no potential environmental impacts arising from the project are
anticipated in future.
The Audit Report presents the EM&A works undertaken during the period
from 1 August 2011 to 31 August 2011 in accordance with the
recommendations of the PP and the requirements of the EP (no. EP-398/2010).
This is the last month’s environmental site inspection since all the construction
works, backfilling and site reinstatement have been completed for all the
eleven sections. No further site inspection by the Independent Checker will
be carried out.
