Two action level exceedances were recorded on 4 and 11 December 2017 in
this reporting month.
5.1.3
After the investigation, no construction work under EP-376/2009 was
conducted by Contract HK/2012/08 on 4 December 2017 around the concerned location
during the time of measurement while non WDII-CWB excavation works immediately
next to the monitoring station was observed as the major noise contribution
during monitoring. As such, the exceedance was considered as not related to
Project works under Contract HK/2012/08.
5.1.4
After the investigation, no construction work under EP-376/2009 was
conducted by Contract HK/2012/08 on 11 December 2017 around the concerned location
during the time of measurement while non WDII-CWB breaking works next to the
monitoring station was observed as the major noise contribution during
monitoring. As such, the exceedance was considered as not relate to Project
works under HK/2012/08.
5.1.5
The noise monitoring results measured in this reporting period are

5.2.2 One 24hr TSP action level exceedance and
one 1hr TSP action level exceedance were recorded at CMA5b – Pedestrian Plaza
on 11 and 12 December 2017. Road and drains works for P2 road was
undertaken by the Contractor of HK/2012/08 around the monitoring location on
the monitoring date and no particular observation regarding air quality impact was
observed during sampling. Meanwhile, non WDII-CWB Project construction
activities was observed opposite to the monitoring station on the monitoring
date. According to the EPD monitoring record, AQHI recorded at the Causeway Bay
station was recorded as Lv4 - Lv7 on 11 December 2017 and recorded as Lv6 on 12
December 2017 during the monitoring period indicating the adverse ambient
condition. In addition, similar elevation in TSP level were recorded across the
same period on 11 December 2017 at other Project AQM stations including CMA6a
at Wan Chai and CMA3a at Causeway Bay area suggesting overall air quality
within the district was under influence of ambient pollutant. In view of the
above, the exceedance was considered to be not related to the Project works
under Contract HK/2012/08 and potentially contributed by ambient air quality
condition. Nevertheless, the Contractor of HK/2012/08 was advised to strengthen
the overall dust suppression control measures to ensure all dusty surface are
dampened to avoid potential dust emission.
5.2.3
One 1hr TSP action level exceedances was recorded at CMA5b – Pedestrian
Plaza on 23 December 2017. Road and drains works for P2 road was undertaken by
the Contractor of HK/2012/08 around the monitoring location on the monitoring
date and no particular observation regarding air quality impact was observed
during sampling. Meanwhile, non WDII-CWB Project excavation material handling
was observed opposite to the monitoring station on the monitoring date. In
addition, elevated PM2.5 and PM10 level were recorded at the EPD Causeway Bay
monitoring station across the monitoring period suggesting the meteorological
condition at the time of monitoring may not favor the dispersion of ambient air
pollutant within the district and hence affecting the air quality. In view of
the above, the exceedance was considered to be not related to the Project works
under Contract HK/2012/08 and potentially contributed by ambient air quality
condition. Nevertheless, the Contractor of HK/2012/08 was advised to strengthen
the overall dust suppression control measures to ensure all dusty surface are
dampened to avoid potential dust emission.

6.0.1. The Event
Action Plan for construction noise and air quality are presented in Appendix 6.1.
6.1.1 Two action level exceedances were
recorded on 4 and 11 December 2017 in this reporting month. After the
investigation, the exceedances were concluded as non-project related.
6.2.1 One 24hr TSP action level exceedance and
two 1hr TSP action level exceedance were recorded at CMA5b – Pedestrian Plaza
on 11, 12 and 23 December 2017 in the reporting month. After the investigation,
the exceedances were concluded as non-Project related.
6.3.1 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.
6.4.1 There was
no particular action taken since no non-compliance was recorded from the site
audits in the reporting period.
7.0.1. According
to the Condition 3.4 of the EP-376/2009, 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).
7.0.2.
According
to the Final EM&A report of Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) for
Contract HK 12/02, the major construction activities were completed by end of
January 2014 and no construction activities were undertaken thereafter and the
water quality monitoring was completed in October 2011. As such, it is considered that there were no
cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current
projects with the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) undertaken by contractor
HK12/02 in the reporting month.
7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of Central-Wanchai Bypass at
Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III area include roadworks,
back-filling, reinstatement of culvert K, reinstatement of cooling mains, drainage,
trimming of rock level and reinstatement of the planter after installation of
irrigation pipes and waterworks at P1 Road were performed in December 2017
reporting period. As no project related exceedance were
recorded during the reporting period, cumulative construction impact due to the
concurrent activities of the current projects with the Central Reclamation
Phase III (CRIII) was considered as insignificant.
7.0.4.
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 under Wan Chai Development Phase II were road and drains
construction and backfilling works at Wan Chai West and Wan Chai East. The
major construction activities under Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link Projects were drainage works and ventilation building
construction at Central; temporary reclamation removal works at Causeway Bay,
road works at Victoria Park; bridge construction, approach ramp construction
and building construction at North Point area in the reporting period. In
addition, other non-Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and
Island Eastern Corridor Link projects was observed undertaken at Wan Chai North
and North Point area.
7.0.5.
No significant air
impact from construction activities was anticipated in the reporting month.
Besides, no project related exceedance was recorded during the water, air and
noise environmental monitoring events in the reporting month. Thus, it is evaluated
that the cumulative construction impact from the concurrent projects including
Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII), Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII),
Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB), Island Eastern Corridor Link projects (IECL) was
insignificant.
8.0.1.
Four site inspections for Contract no. HK/2012/08 were carried out on 28
November, 5, 12 and 19 December 2017 in this reporting period. The results of
inspection and outcome are summarized in Table
