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.
The
Project is located mainly in Wan Chai North,
2.2.2.
The
study area encompasses existing developments along the Wan Chai,
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.

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 (FEP) 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.

Noise Monitoring
Parameters, Frequency and Duration
3.1.2.
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.
3.1.3.
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

Air Monitoring Parameters,
Frequency and Duration
3.2.2.
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.
3.2.3.
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.
3.2.4.
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
3.2.5
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;
-

of operating continuously for a 24-hour period.
3.2.6
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
3.2.7
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.
3.2.8
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.
3.2.9
Filter paper of size 8" x 10" shall be
labelled before sampling. It shall be a clean filter paper with no pinholes,
and shall be conditioned in a humidity-controlled chamber for over 24-hours and
be pre-weighed before use for the sampling.
3.2.10
After sampling, the filter paper loaded with dust
shall be kept in a clean and tightly sealed plastic bag. The filter paper shall
then be returned to the laboratory for reconditioning in the humidity
controlled chamber followed by accurate weighing by an electronic balance with
readout down to 0.1 mg. The balance shall be regularly calibrated against a
traceable standard.
3.2.11
All the collected samples shall be kept in a good
condition for 6 months before disposal.
impact monitoring for
odour patrol
3.2.12 Odour patrols
along the shorelines of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter and ex-Wan Chai Public
Cargo Working Area when there is temporary reclamation in Causeway Bay Typhoon
Shelter and/or in the ex-Wan Chai
Public Cargo Working Area, or when 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
3.2.13 Odour patrol shall be conducted by
independent trained personnel / competent persons patrolling and sniffing
around the shore as shown in
Figure 3.1 to detect any odour at the
concerned hours (afternoon is preferred for higher daily temperature).
3.2.14 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.
3.2.15 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.
3.2.16 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 3.1.
3.3.1.
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.
3.3.2.
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
3.3.3.
It
is proposed to monitor the water quality at 9 WSD salt water intakes and 14
cooling water intakes along the seafront of the
