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
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
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
·
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 on 5 October 2010 and completed on

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:
·
0.6 - 1.7 m3 per minute
adjustable flow range;
·
Equipped with a timing / control
device with +/- 5 minutes accuracy for 24 hours operation;

cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current
projects including the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII), Wan Chai
Development Phase II (WDII), Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects (IECL).

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 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 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.
8.0.1.
During this
reporting month, weekly environmental site audits were conducted for Contracts
no. HY/2009/17 and 04/HY/2006. No non-conformance was identified during the
