Section 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.
Design and Construction of
Central  Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link under the Project
involves the construction and operation of a trunk road and its road tunnel
more than 800m in length between portals that is shown at Figure 2.1.
2.2.2.
The study area encompasses
existing developments from Central to North Point. The
scope of the Central-Wanchai
Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern Corridor Link (IECL)
includes:
 -
A dual three-lane trunk road,
approximately 4.5 km in length, and tunnel approximately 3.7 km in length
defined from the connection with the existing Rumsey Street Flyover in Central,
through to a connection with the existing Island Eastern Corridor to the east
of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter (CBTS);
 -
The Central Interchange near the
Rumsey Street Flyover to provide road connections to the Central area;
 -
Tunnel control buildings and
ventilation buildings;
 -
Slip roads to connect the CWB to
the local road system in the Wan Chai North and Causeway Bay area;
 -
Associated road lighting, road
signing, traffic control and surveillance system; and
 -
Other associated works.
2.2.3.
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 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.
2.3.2.
In the reporting month, advance
piling work at FEHD Whitfield Depot under Contract no. HY/2009/17 was commenced

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.
Real time noise shall be carried out at the designated
monitoring stations. The following is an initial guide on the regular
monitoring frequency for each station on a 24 hours daily basis when noise
generating activities are underway:
 -
One set of measurements between 0700 and 1900 hours
on normal weekdays.
 -
One set of measurements between 1900 and 2300 hours
on normal weekdays and 0700 and 2300 hours on public holidays.
 -
One set of measurements between 2300 and 0700 hours
on next day on everyday.
4.1.6.
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
4.1.7.
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.
4.1.8.
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.
4.1.9.
The sound level meter shall be checked using
an acoustic calibrator generating a known sound pressure level at a known
frequency before deployment to the site and during each site visit.
Measurements may be accepted as valid only if the calibration level from before
and after the noise measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.
Air Quality Monitoring Stations

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:

No exceedance was recorded
between 0700 and 1900 hours. In contrast, one major exceedance was recorded
between 1900 and 2300 hours 21 December 2010 and between 2300 and 0700 on the
next day on 23 December 2010. No construction activity was conducted during such
Time periods. As there is no construction work near the monitoring station,
estimating the noise contributed from Island Eastern Corridor. It is concluded that the exceedances were
non-project related.

7.0.1.
According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-364/2009/A,
this section addresses the relevant cumulative construction impact due to the
concurrent activities of the current projects including the Central Reclamation
Phase III (CRIII), Wan Chai Development Phase II (WWDII), Central-WanChai
Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects (IECL).
7.0.2.
From the Monthly EM&A report (December
2010) of Central Reclamation Phase III the key works in December 2010 are as
follows:
 -
Type A filling in FRAW and FRAE
above +2.5mPD
 -
General filling works above
+2.5mPD in IRAE
 -
Surcharging in FRAW and FRAE
 -
Construction of cantilever slab
at caisson
 -
Base slab, wall and roof construction
at Culvert F
 -
Construction of storm and foul
drainage and gullies in hinterlands for Road P2, Road D7, and Road D9
 -
Construction of GPO boundary wall
 -

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 activity under Wan Chai Development Phase
II was the filling works at North Point Reclamation Stage 1(NPR1), dredging
works at Wan Chai Reclamation Stage 1(WCR1), Advanced
piling works at FEHD Whitfield
Depot and cross-harbour water mains in the reporting
month. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at North Point
and Wan Chai. Land-based construction activity was only the modification works
of bus terminus near Man Yiu Street and Man Kwong Street under CWB and advance
piling works at FEHD Whitfield Depot in the reporting month.
7.0.4.
The major environmental impacts generated from
the Central Reclamation Phase III were located along the coastline of Central
and Admiralty while modification works of bus terminus near Man Yiu Street and Man Kwong Street
under CWB and advanced piling works
at FEHD Whitfield Depot
were undertaken in the reporting month. No significant air, noise impact were anticipated
in the reporting month. Besides, no environmental monitoring exceedance was
recorded from the Project in the reporting month. Thus, it is evaluated that the cumulative construction impact
from the concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II and
Central Reclamation Phase III was insignificant.
.
