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:
·
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
·
Reprovisioning /
protection of the existing facilities and structures affected by the land
formation works mentioned above
·
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
·
Upgrading of
hinterland storm water drainage system and sewerage system, which would be
rendered insufficient by the land formation works mentioned above
·
Provision of the
ground level roads, flyovers, footbridges, necessary transport facilities and
the associated utility services
·
Construction of the
new waterfront promenade, landscape works and the associated utility services
·
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.

2.3.1.
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.

Noise Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration
4.1.3.
The construction noise
level shall be measured in terms of the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound
pressure level (Leq). Leq (30 minutes) shall be used as
the monitoring parameter for the time period between 0700 and 1900 hours on
normal weekdays. For all other time periods, Leq (5 minutes) shall
be employed for comparison with the Noise Control Ordinance (NCO) criteria.
Supplementary information for data auditing, statistical results such as L10
and L90 shall also be obtained for reference.
4.1.4.
Noise monitoring shall be carried out at all the
designated monitoring stations. 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 weekly basis when noise
generating activities are underway:
·
one set of
measurements between 0700 and 1900 hours on normal weekdays.
4.1.5.
If construction works are extended to include works
during the hours of 1900 – 0700 as well as public holidays and Sundays,
additional weekly impact monitoring shall be carried out during respective
restricted hours periods. Applicable permits under NCO shall be obtained by the
Contractor.
Monitoring Equipment
4.1.6.
As referred to in the Technical Memorandum ™ issued
under the NCO, sound level meters in compliance with the International
Electrotechnical Commission Publications 651: 1979 (Type 1) and 804: 1985 (Type
1) specifications shall be used for carrying out the noise monitoring.
Immediately prior to and following each noise measurement the accuracy of the
sound level meter shall be checked using an acoustic calibrator generating a
known sound pressure level at a known frequency. Measurements may be accepted
as valid only if the calibration level from before and after the noise
measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.
4.1.7.
Noise measurements shall not be made in fog, rain,
wind with a steady speed exceeding 5 m/s or wind with gusts exceeding 10 m/s.
The wind speed shall be checked with a portable wind speed meter capable of
measuring the wind speed in m/s.

shall properly document the calibration data for future reference. All the data
should be converted into standard temperature and pressure condition.
Laboratory Measurement / Analysis
4.2.7.
A clean laboratory with constant temperature and
humidity control, and equipped with necessary measuring and conditioning
instruments to handle the dust samples collected, shall be available for sample
analysis, and equipment calibration and maintenance. The laboratory should be
HOKLAS accredited.
4.2.8.
An alternative non-HOKLAS
accredited laboratory was set-up for carrying out
the laboratory analysis, the laboratory equipment was approved by the ER
on 8 February 2011 and the measurement procedures were witnessed by the IEC. Any
measurement performed by the laboratory was be demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the ER and IEC.
IEC shall regularly audit to the measurement performed by the laboratory
to ensure the accuracy of measurement results.
4.2.9.
Filter paper of size 8" x 10" shall be
labelled before sampling. It shall be a clean filter paper with no pinholes,
and shall be conditioned in a humidity-controlled chamber for over 24-hours and
be pre-weighed before use for the sampling.
4.2.10. After
sampling, the filter paper loaded with dust shall be kept in a clean and
tightly sealed plastic bag. The filter paper shall then be returned to the
laboratory for reconditioning in the humidity controlled chamber followed by
accurate weighing by an electronic balance with readout down to 0.1 mg. The
balance shall be regularly calibrated against a traceable standard.
4.2.11. All the
collected samples shall be kept in a good condition for 6 months before
disposal.
impact monitoring for odour patrol
4.2.12. Odour
patrols along the shorelines of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter and ex-Wan Chai
Public Cargo Working Area when there is temporary reclamation in Causeway Bay
Typhoon Shelter and/or in the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area, or when
there is dredging of the odorous sediment and slime at the south-western corner
of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. Odour patrols will be carried out at
bi-weekly intervals during July, August and September by a qualified person of
the ET who shall:
·
be at least 16
years of age;
·
be free from any
respiratory illnesses; and
·
not be allowed
to smoke, eat, drink (except water) or use chewing gum or sweets 30 min
·
before and
during odour patrol
4.2.13. Odour
patrol shall be conducted by independent trained personnel / competent persons
patrolling and sniffing around the shore as shown in Figure 4.1 to detect any odour at
the concerned hours (afternoon is preferred for higher daily temperature).
4.2.14. The
qualified person will use the nose (olfactory sensor) to sniff odours at
different locations. The main odour emission sources and the areas to be
affected by the odour nuisance will be identified.
4.2.15. The
perceived odour intensity is to be divided into 5 levels which are ranked in
the descending order as follows:
·
0 - Not
detected. No odour perceived or an odour so weak that it cannot be easily characterized
or described;
·
1 - Slight
Identifiable odour, and slight chance to have odour nuisance;
·
2 - Moderate
Identifiable odour, and moderate chance to have odour nuisance;
·
3 - Strong
Identifiable, likely to have odour nuisance;
·
4 - Extreme
Severe odour, and unacceptable odour level.
4.2.16.
The findings including odour intensity, odour
nature and possible odour sources, and also the local wind speed and direction
at each location will be recorded. In addition, some relevant meteorological
and tidal data such as daily average temperature, and daily average humidity,
on that surveyed day will be obtained from the Hong Kong Observatory Station
for reference. The Action and Limit levels for odour patrol are shown in Appendix 6.1.
4.2.17.
The qualified odour patrol member has individual
n-butanol thresholds complied with the requirement of European Standard Method
of Air Quality – Determination of Odour Concentration by Dynamic Olfactometry
(EN13725) in the range of 20 to 80 ppb. The certificate for the qualified odour
panel member is shown in Appendix
4.2.
4.3.1.
The EIA Report has identified that the key water
quality impact would be associated with the dredging works during the
construction phase. Marine water
quality monitoring for dissolved oxygen (DO), suspended solid (SS) and
turbidity is therefore recommended to be carried out at selected WSD flushing
water intakes. The impact
monitoring should be carried out during the proposed dredging works to ensure
the compliance with the water quality standards.
4.3.2.
The updated EM&A Manual for EP-356/2009
(Version in March 2011) is approval by EPD on 29 April 2011. As such, the Action
Level and Limit Level for the wet season (April – September) will be effected
and applied to the water quality monitoring data from 30 April 2011.
Water Quality Monitoring Stations
4.3.3.
It is proposed to monitor the water quality at 9
WSD salt water intakes and 12 cooling water intakes along the seafront of the
Victoria Harbour. The proposed water quality monitoring stations of the Project
are shown in Table 4.4 and Figure 4.1. Appendix 4.1 shows the established
Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

Water Quality Parameters
4.3.4.
Monitoring of dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity and
suspended solids (SS) shall be carried out at WSD flushing water intakes and
cooling water intakes. DO and Turbidity are measured in-situ while SS is
determined in laboratory.
4.3.5.
In association with the water quality parameters,
other relevant data shall also be measured, such as monitoring
location/position, time, sampling depth, water temperature, pH, salinity,
dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation, weather conditions, sea conditions, tidal
stage, and any special phenomena and work underway at the construction site
etc.
Sampling Procedures and Monitoring Equipment
4.3.6.
The interval between two sets of monitoring should
not be less than 36 hours except where there are exceedances of Action and/or
Limit Levels, in which case the monitoring frequency will be increased. Table 4.5 shows the
proposed monitoring frequency and water quality parameters. Duplicate in-situ measurements and water
sampling should be carried out in each sampling event. For selection of tides for in-situ
measurement and water sampling, tidal range of individual flood and ebb tides
should be not less than 0.5m.

of SS level at C3 were recorded on 30 July and 9 August 2011. Installation
sheet pile wall at water channel and filling Grade 200 rock in front of the
sheet pile wall No.1 to 39 were conducted on these days. According to the
observation during the monitoring and daily inspection report, the deployed
silt screen and silt curtains along HKCEC water channel were in proper condition.
It was considered that recorded exceedances on that day might be caused by
trapping of unknown debris inside the silt screen and no related to Project.
Contract no. HK/2009/02 -

installation of steel bracing on the pitched pile casings in new ferry pier
area and pumping out the water from the pumping stations P8 & P9 to the
chamber of western temporary sheet pile wall were the major marine works
conducted at Wan Chai East. Besides, the dredging was conducted in submarine
outfall area which was complied with the daily and hourly dredging rate. Deployed
silt screen at intake and silt curtain at western temporary sheet pile were
observed in proper condition during the water quality monitoring.
6.4.4.
According to the meteorological information from Hong
Kong Observatory, total daily rainfall at the region of Wan Chai was around
100-150mm on 9 August 2011. Thus, the SS exceedance was considered causing by
the potential impact from the heavy rainfall and concluded as not project
related exceedance.

There
were DO level at the ex- WPCWA and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter exceeded the
Action Level or Limit Level on 11, 13, 25 and 27 August 2011 in the impact
water monitoring and enhanced DO monitoring. The low DO levels were possible in
relation to the low flow and recorded low water depth during the ebb tide. Besides,
the red tide occurrences were recorded in Hong Kong and its adjacent waters since
the mid-August 2011. In view that no odour nuisance was detected during
monitoring, the DO exceedances were considered not related to the Project. With
reference to the odour patrol results on 23 August 2011, the detected odour
intensity at ex- WPCWA and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter was found to be from
level 0 up to level 1 which were below the Action Level. These DO exceedances
were considered as the natural variation and not related to the Project works.

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 at Reclamation Shoreline Sub-zones
under Wan Chai Development Phase II were the filling works at NPR2E, HKCEC1, dredging
at Submarine sewage pipeline, seawall block construction at TCBR1W, dredging of
navigation channel and mooring area and marine bored piling at MTR Tunnel
Crossing in the reporting month. The major environmental impact was water
quality impact at North Point, Causeway Bay 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 no project related exceedance was recorded in the
Project, it was considered no adverse environmental impact caused by the
Project works. Thus, it is evaluated the cumulative construction impact from
the concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II and Central
Reclamation Phase III was insignificant.
8.0.1.
During this reporting month, weekly environmental
site audits were conducted for Contracts no. HY/2009/11, HK/2009/01, HK/2009/02,

There
were three environmental complaints received on 8, 10 and 26 August 2011 in the
reporting month.
9.0.2.
To
follow-up the noise complaint via 1823 (ICC
no.1-304615409) by Ms. Chiu on 27 July 2011 in last reporting month, she complained on the
construction noise generated from the construction operations of Central-Wanchai
Bypass in the morning at 7am rather than at noon. RSS confirmed to start the rock
breaking activities at 8m as a mitigation measure to minimize the noise
nuisance in the vicinity of the residents. Further investigation revealed that
no construction
noise exceedance was
recorded at noise monitoring station of Victoria Centre on 25 July, 4 and 10
August 2011 during daytime period while breaking and excavation works were
undertaken during monitoring.
However, complainant did not satisfy with the response on the noise nuisance
from the rock-breaking during morning in front of Victoria Centre and then
further complained via 1823 on 8 August 2011. Highways contacted the complainant on 15 August
2011 that the noisy rock breaking operation had been completed. No further
complaint from complainant was received after the liaison. In conclusion, it was
related to the construction works under Contract HY/2009/15 and mitigation
measure was provided.
9.0.3.
An
ICC complaint no. 1 – 306740207 was received on 10 August 2011. The
complainant, Mr. Yip complained that muddy water was
discharged from work site to the seafront near Oil Street during heavy rain. According to the Hong Kong
Observatory, there was amber rainstorm on August 2011. Confirmed with RE, muddy
water was caused by a heap of earth being washed to the sea by heavy rain. The
heap of earth was referred as a small stockpile placed close to the seafront in
front of Oil Street within the site area under handover transition period from
contract HY/2009/11 to contract HY/2009/19. The necessary mitigation measures
to protect the small stockpile against rainfall were missing at the time of
complaint. The stockpile at the seafront near
Oil Street had been
removed. The cause of the complaint is still under investigation between ET and
RSS of CWB. To avoid any further environmental deficiency, Contractors shall ensure
all necessary environmental mitigation measures will not be missing during site
area handover.

To
follow-up the noise complaint via 1823 (ICC no. 1-304013959) by Ms. Yau, the
resident at Victoria Centre on 23 July 2011 in last reporting month, she
complained that noise impact was generated from the operations at the reclamation
area of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter at 7am while most of the residents at
Victoria Centre were sleeping. RSS confirmed to start the
rock breaking activities at 8m as a mitigation measure to minimize the noise
nuisance in the vicinity of the residents. Further investigation revealed that
no construction noise exceedance was recorded at noise monitoring station of
Victoria Centre on 25 July and 4 August 2011 during daytime period while breaking and excavation works
were undertaken during monitoring. In conclusion, it was related to the construction
works under Contract HY/2009/15 and mitigation measure was provided. No further
complaint from complainant was received after proposed the mitigation measure.
