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 June 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.

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 (WDII), Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB), Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects (IECL) and Wan Chai Development Phase II - Central - Wan Chai Bypass at Wan Chai
East (CWB Tunnel).

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 at Temporary
Causeway Bay Reclamation 1 East (TCPR1E) and Temporary Public Cargo Working
Area Reclamation (TPCWA), dredging works at Temporary Causeway Bay Reclamation
1 West (TCPR1W), dredging and filling works at Wan Chai Reclamation Stage
1(WCR1), Advanced piling works at FEHD Whitfield Depot, Central Interchange, cross-harbour
water mains and marine pre-drilling in the reporting month. The major
environmental impact was water quality impact at
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 and sheet piling, pre-drilling works at Central and tunnel works at Wan Chai East 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.
