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

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.
Air Quality Monitoring Stations
4.2.1.
The air monitoring stations for the Project are
listed and shown in Table 4.3 and Figure 4.1. Appendix 4.1 shows the established
Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

Air Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration
4.2.2.
One-hour and 24-hour TSP levels should be measured
to indicate the impacts of construction dust on air quality. The 24-hour TSP
levels shall be measured by following the standard high volume sampling method
as set out in the Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1 (Part
50), Appendix B.
4.2.3.
All relevant data including temperature, pressure,
weather conditions, elapsed-time meter reading for the start and stop of the sampler,
identification and weight of the filter paper, and any other local atmospheric
factors affecting or affected by site conditions, etc., shall be recorded down
in detail.
4.2.4.
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-hour TSP monitoring. For 1-hour TSP monitoring,
the sampling frequency of at least three times in every six-days should be
undertaken when the highest dust impact occurs.
Sampling Procedure and Monitoring Equipment
4.2.5.
High volume samplers (HVSs) in compliance with the
following specifications shall be used for carrying out the 1-hour and 24-hour
TSP monitoring:
·
0.6 - 1.7 m3 per
minute adjustable flow range;
·
equipped with a
timing / control device with +/- 5 minutes accuracy for 24 hours operation;
·
installed with
elapsed-time meter with +/- 2 minutes accuracy for 24 hours operation;
·
capable of
providing a minimum exposed area of 406 cm2;
·
flow control
accuracy: +/- 2.5% deviation over 24-hour sampling period;
·
equipped with a
shelter to protect the filter and sampler;
·
incorporated
with an electronic mass flow rate controller or other equivalent devices;
·
equipped with a
flow recorder for continuous monitoring;
·
provided with a
peaked roof inlet;
·
incorporated
with a manometer;
·
able to hold and
seal the filter paper to the sampler housing at horizontal position;
·
easily
changeable filter; and
·
capable of
operating continuously for a 24-hour period.
4.2.6.
Initial calibration of dust monitoring equipment shall
be conducted upon installation and thereafter at bi-monthly intervals. The
transfer standard shall be traceable to the internationally recognized primary
standard and be calibrated annually. The concern parties such as IEC 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.

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.

The
enhanced water quality monitoring at C6, C7, Ex-WPCWA-SW and Ex-WPCWA-SE was commenced
on 13 January 2011. Dissolved oxygen levels at Ex-WPCWA and Causeway Bay
Typhoon Shelter on 6, 8, 10, 17 and 26 October 2011 were exceeded. These DO exceedances
were considered not related to Project.
5.4.8.
The dredging of the sediment at the
south-western corner of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter was resumed on 26 October
2011,
daily monitoring of suspended solids and 24 hours monitoring of turbidity at
the cooling water intakes at C7 was be conducted. No project-related exceedance
was recorded in the daily SS monitoring and 24 hours turbidity monitoring.
5.4.9.
As
per the meeting with the representative of Excelsior Hotel and World Trade
Centre on 17 May 2011, they confirmed that the seawater intake for The
Excelsior was no longer in use and replaced by the connected permanent water
supply from WSD pipelines since 11 January 2011. Thus, the impact water quality
monitoring for the cooling intake - C6 was terminated effective from 26 May
2011.

6.4.1.
Referring to the exceedances shown in Table 5.9,
there were occasionally turbidity and SS exceedances were recorded at WSD10,
WSD15, WSD17, C8 and C9. Investigation revealed that sea bed was disturbed by
the Typhoon signal no.3 on 28 September and 3 October and Typhoon signal no.8
on 29 September and caused water quality on 28, 30 September and 3 October 2011
being was substantially affected and recorded the exceedances during Typhoon.
6.4.2.
Other than these exceedances recorded on 28, 30
September and 3 October, Contractor’s marine activities were checked and proper
condition of silt curtain was provided between the barge and the seawall during
the filling material transportation. 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. The
recorded turbidity and SS exceedances were considered as not project-related.
Contract
no. HK/2009/01 - Wan Chai Development Phase II – Central –Wanchai Bypass at

6.4.3.
Exceedances
of turbidity and SS level were recorded at WSD7, WSD19 and WSD20. Checked with
Contractor's works, there was no dredging works at Tsim Sha Tsui and Cross
Harbour Water Main. In view that the water quality at monitoring stations
located nearest the marine work site were well below the Action level and the
silt screens were in proper condition, it was considered that recorded
exceedance was no related to Project.
6.4.4.
Turbidity
and/or SS exceedances were recorded C3 on 10 and 12 October and at C4w on 10
October 2011. Checking with Contractor works, there were filling at HKCEC3W and
rock bund filling works along the promenade deck which was carried out to
facilitate subsequent sheet piling works on that day. The frame type silt
screen at intake, frame type silt curtain for rock-filling and additional silt
curtain along the promenade deck were deployed. Other than that, Contractor's
daily records were checked. It shows silt curtains were deployed during filling
works and both silt curtains were in proper condition in their daily
inspection.
6.4.5.
According
to contractor provided information, same grade of filling materials were used
for filling works during June to August 2011, no exceedance was recorded that
was related to filling at that time. Nevertheless, Contractor was reminded to
open the grab used for rock bund filling at lower level so as to avoid any
loose materials spreading out of silt curtain and enter into the water body.
Contractor has implemented the mitigation measures to replace the geotextile
and add additional 20m long silt curtain at promenade deck on 13 Oct 2011 to
minimize the water quality impact arising from the rock-filling. After
reviewing the trend of water quality data, the remedial measures have function
effectively and no further exceedance was recorded the week after the
exceedance.
Contract no. HK/2009/02 -
Wan Chai Development Phase II – Central – Wan Chai Bypass at WanChai East
6.4.6.
Turbidity
exceedances were recorded at C5w on 12 and 22 October 2011 and a SS level exceedance
was recorded at WSD21 on 10 October 2011. Contractor marine work activities and
mitigation measures were checked, deployed silt screen at intake and silt
curtain at western temporary sheet pile were observed in proper condition
during the water quality monitoring. It was concluded that these exceedances
were not related to the Project works.
6.4.7.
A turbidity level at WSD21 was exceeded the Action
Level on 30 September 2011. The contractor’s marine work and mitigation
measures were checked. Investigation revealed that it was substantially
affected after Typhoon signal no.3 on 30 September 2011 and a non-Project related
exceedance.
Contract no. HY/2009/15 - Central-Wanchai Bypass – Tunnel (Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Section)
6.4.8.
Occasional
DO, turbidity or SS level exceedances were recorded at C7 in this reporting
month. The major marine works activities were the general filling works and maintenance
dredging during the date of recorded exceedances. The daily silt screen and
silt curtain inspection recoded were checked in proper condition. No sign of
traceable source was visualized and identified during monitoring. These
exceedances were considered as the natural variation and not related to the Project
works.
Contract no. HK/2010/06 - Wan Chai Development
Phase II – Central –Wanchai Bypass over MTR Tsuen Wan Line
6.4.9.
No exceedance was recorded in the reporting month.
6.4.10. Summary
for notification of exceedances can be referred to Appendix 6.2.
6.5.1.
There was no non-compliance from the site audits in
the reporting period. The observations and recommendations made in each
individual site audit session were presented in Section 8.
6.6.1.
When the project-related exceedances were recorded at
C3 and C4w on 10 October and C3 on 12 October 2011, repeated in-situ
measurement and additional
turbidity measurement were immediately taken outside the silt screen when the
Action Level or Limit Level exceedance was recorded inside the silt screen for
checking of relation from the rock filling works.
6.6.2.
Contractor has implemented the mitigation measures
to replace the geotextile near the water monitoring station C3 and add
additional 20m long silt curtain at promenade deck on 13 Oct 2011 to minimize
the water quality impact arising from the rock-filling. Diver inspection on the silt
screen and silt curtain was conducted on 14 October 2011. After reviewing the trend of water
quality data, the remedial measures have function effectively and no further
exceedance was recorded the week after the exceedance.
7.0.1.
According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-356/2009, this
section addresses the relevant cumulative construction impact due to the
concurrent activities of the current projects including the Central Reclamation
Phase III, Central-Wanchai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects.
7.0.2.
From the Monthly EM&A report (September 2011)
of Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) the key works in October 2011 are as
follows:
·
Type A filling
in FRAW and FRAE above +2.5mPD;
·

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, dredging
and filling at HKCEC3w, dredging at submarine sewage pipelines, seawall block
construction and filling at TCBR1W, maintenance 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 while the adverse water impact was only located in the
HKCEC water channel in relation to the rock filling operation causing
exceedances in HKCEC water channel in this reporting month. Thus, it was
unlikely to have cumulative impact from CRIII. 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,
HY/2009/15 and HK/2010/06. No non-conformance was identified during the site
audits.
8.0.2.
Four site inspections for Contract no. HY/2009/11
were carried out on 4, 12, 18 and 25 October 2011. The results of these
