10 Conclusion
2.1.1.
¡§Wan Chai Development phase II and Central-Wan Chai
Bypass¡¨ and ¡§Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link¡¨
(hereafter called ¡§the Project¡¨) are Designed Project (DP) under the
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO). The Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) Reports for Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link
(Register No. AEIAR-041/2001) and Wan Chai Development phase II and Central-Wan
Chai Bypass (Register No.: AEIAR-125/2008) have been approved on 31 August 2001
and 11 December 2008 respectively.
2.1.2.
The key purpose of Wan Chai Development Phase II
(WDII) is to provide land at Wan Chai North and North Point for construction of
the Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link (CWB). Land formed
under the project will be developed as a world-class waterfront promenade
joining that at the new Central waterfront for public enjoyment.
2.1.3.
There is a compelling and present need for the CWB
to provide relief to the very congested east-west Connaught Road
Central/Harcourt Road / Gloucester Road Corridor (the Corridor) which is
currently operating beyond its capacity. The CWB will provide relief to the
existing congestion along the Corridor and cater for the anticipated growth of
traffic on Hong Kong Island. Without the CWB and its access roads, there will
not be sufficient capacity to serve the heavy traffic demands at both strategic
and local levels.
2.2.1.
The Project is located mainly in Wan Chai North,
Causeway Bay and North Point, and is demarcated by Gloucester Road and Victoria
Park Road to the south, Fenwick Pier Street to the west and Tong Shui Road
Interchange to the east, as shown in Figure 2.1.
2.2.2.
The study area encompasses existing developments along
the Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and North Point shorelines. Major land uses include
the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) Extension, the Wan
Chai Ferry Pier, the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area (ex-PCWA), the Royal
Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), the Police Officers¡¦ Club, the Causeway Bay
Typhoon Shelter (CBTS) and commercial and residential developments.
2.2.3.
The scope of the Project
comprises:
¡P
Land formation
for key transport infrastructure and facilities, including the Trunk Road (i.e. CWB) and the associated
slip roads for connection to the Trunk Road and for through traffic from Central to
Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. The land formed for the above transport infrastructure
will provide opportunities for the development of an attractive waterfront
promenade for the enjoyment of the public
¡P
Reprovisioning /
protection of the existing facilities and structures affected by the land
formation works mentioned above
¡P
Extension,
modification, reprovisioning or protection of existing storm water drainage
outfalls, sewerage outfalls and watermains affected by the revised land use and
land formation works mentioned above
¡P
Upgrading of
hinterland storm water drainage system and sewerage system, which would be
rendered insufficient by the land formation works mentioned above
¡P
Provision of the
ground level roads, flyovers, footbridges, necessary transport facilities and
the associated utility services
¡P
Construction of
the new waterfront promenade, landscape works and the associated utility
services
¡P
The Trunk Road
(i.e. CWB) within the study area and the associated slip roads for connection
to the Trunk Road.
2.2.4.
The project also contains various Schedule 2 DPs
that, under the EIAO, require Environmental Permits (Eps) to be granted by the
DEP before they may be either constructed or operated. Table 2.1
summarises the five individual DPs under this Project. Figure 2.1 shows the
locations of these Schedule 2 DPs.

Due to the multi-contract nature of the Project,
there are a number of contracts sub-dividing the whole works area into
different work areas to be commenced.
Contractors of individual contracts will be required by the EP holder to
apply Further Environmental Permits (FEP) such that the impact monitoring
stations are sub-divided accordingly to facilitate the implementation of
EM&A programme and to streamline the EM&A reporting for individual FEP
holders correspondingly.

Referring to the
exceedances shown in Table 5.9, the occasionally action and limit
level exceedances of turbidity and suspended solid were recorded at C8 and C9.
Stations WSD15 had one SS exceedance recorded in this month.
6.4.2.
Since there were numerous unknown outfalls from the
nearby coastal area closed to the cooling intakes C8 and C9, it causes the
potential for accumulation of pollutants near the intakes and may lead to
potential water quality deterioration at the seawater intake points. Most of
the turbidity and SS exceedances were concluded as not project related
exceedances excluded the exceedance at C8 on 30 December 2010.
6.4.3.
Turbidity
and SS exceedances at C8 on 30 December 2010 were recorded. Due to intake owner's constraint, delay
was experienced in the re-provision of modified frame-type silt screen to
protect City Garden intake against potential impact arising from the dredging
works and accumulation of discharge and pollutants from nearby outfall adjacent
to the intake. The exceedances were confirmed related to HY/2009/11 contractor
difficulties in the provision of frame type silt screen. Contractor enhanced mitigation measures
with a double layer silt curtain on 7 January 2011. No further exceedance was
recorded after installation of double layer silt curtain. Close monitoring on
contractor mitigation and the variation of water quality results will be
maintained. Contractor will further liaise with the owner on the re-provision
of the frame-type silt screen.
6.4.4.
Reviewed the trend of overall results at all
monitoring stations nearer the marine work area, the SS exceedance recorded at
WSD15 while low SS value was recorded at the stations near the marine work area
without exceeded the action and limit level. Thus, this SS exceedance was
considered not related to the Project works.
Contract
no. HK/2009/01 - Wan Chai Development Phase II ¡V Central ¡VWanchai Bypass at

6.4.5.
Referring
to all exceedances recorded at WSD7, WSD19 and WSD20, there was no exceedance
recorded at the monitoring stations nearer the marine work area for Contract
HK/2009/01. Those exceedances were considered as not related to the Project
works.
6.4.6.
One
SS exceedance recorded at C4w on 24 January 2011. Investigation found that
the condition of silt screen and silt curtain was in proper condition and low
daily dredging rate was complied with EP condition. No exceedance was recorded
at the C3 which is the nearest monitoring station near the dredging work area.
It is concluded as not related Project.
Contract no. HK/2009/02 -
Wan Chai Development Phase II ¡V Central ¡V Wan Chai Bypass at WanChai East
6.4.7.
One turbidity and SS exceedance was recorded at C5e
on 8 January 2011. Investigation found that the condition of silt screen and
silt curtain was in proper condition and daily dredging rate at submarine
sewage pipeline was complied with EP condition. Besides, the additional measure
of additional silt curtain is deployed to protect the monitoring stations C5e.
Thus, the exceedance was considered due to natural variation and not related to
the Project.
Contract no. HY/2009/15 - Central-Wanchai Bypass ¡V Tunnel (Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Section)

7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of Wan Chai
Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link
projects, the major construction activities under Wan Chai Development Phase II
were the dredging and filling works at North Point Reclamation Shoreline
Subzone (NPR2E) and (NPR1) respectively, the dredging and filling at submarine
sewage pipline and Wan Chai Reclamation Shoreline Subzone (WCR1) respectively,
dredging at HKCEC1 and cross harbour water mains and dredging at TCBR1W,
TCBRAW, TPCWAE and TCBR1E for seawall construction in the reporting month. The
major environmental impact was water quality impact at North Point and Wan
Chai.
7.0.4.
The major environmental impacts generated from the
filling work at Central Reclamation Phase III were only located along the
coastline of Central and Admiralty. As only one project-related exceedance was

An
incident of split hopper barge named Shun Tat 11 (Licence no. B21623V) for the
Contract no. HK/2009/01 was recorded at the location near Cross Harbour Water
Mains marine work zone on 24 January 2011.
The ballast tank on the port side of the split hopper barge was flooded
with water. The split hopper barge was towed back to the dredging zone within a
short period and immediately opened its hopper to dump the sediment back to the
same dredging trench. It is suspected that the hull on the port side might be
broken causing ingress of seawater into the ballast tanks. Meanwhile, the barge
has been demobilized from the site and currently anchored at To Kwa Wan Typhoon
Shelter. The emergency dumping was notified to EPD at 10:00a.m. on 24 January
2011. This barge will not be deployed to the site under HK/2009/01 to dispose
the dredged sediment until it has been repaired and inspected by the competent
surveyor. The incident will be kept in view for determining further follow up
and remedial measures.
10.0.1. The
EM&A programme was carried out in accordance with the EM&A Manual
requirements, minor alterations to the programme proposed were made in response
to changing circumstances.
