2.1.1 Wan Chai
Development phase II and Central-Wan Chai Bypass (hereafter called “the
Project”) are Designated Project (DP) under the Environmental Impact Assessment
Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO). The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
for Wan Chai Development phase II and Central-Wan Chai Bypass (Register No.:
AEIAR-125/2008) has been approved on 11 December 2008.
2.2.1.
The design and construction of Wan Chai
Development Phase II and Central Wanchai Bypass
involves the construction and operation of primary and district distributor
roads that is shown at Figure 2.1.
2.2.2. The key
purpose of the study area encompasses the Wan Chai harbourfront area. The area starts at the boundary of
Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) at the west and connects to the existing
Hung Hing Road at the east. The scope of the project includes:
·
A
dual 2-lane primary distributor road, Road P2, approximately 0.6km in length;
and
·
Other
new primary and district distributor roads connecting to the slip roads of the
Central-Wan Chai Bypass with a total length of approximately 0.7km.
2.2.3.
The project also contains various Schedule 2 DP 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 DP under
this Project. Figure 2.1 shows the locations of these Schedule 2 DP.

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 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.
Monitoring Equipment
3.1.4. 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 agrees to
within 1.0 dB.
3.1.5. 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.
Air Quality Monitoring Stations
3.2.1.
The air monitoring stations for the Project
are listed and shown in Table 3.2 and Figure 3.1. Appendix 3.1 shows the
established Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

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.

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

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 period.
7.0.3. According to the
construction programme of Central-Wanchai Bypass at Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III area
include road and drain works, backfilling works and reinstatement of Culvert
and Cooling mains and installation of irrigation piping at P1 road were performed
in July 2017 reporting month. 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, tunnel 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 and
side wall construction at Victoria Park; bridge construction, piling works,
foundation works and building construction at North Point area in the reporting
month. 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 quality impact from construction activities was anticipated in the
reporting period. Besides, no project related exceedance was recorded during air
quality and noise environmental monitoring events in the reporting period. 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. The EM&A programme was carried out
in accordance with the EM&A Manual requirements, minor alterations to the
programme proposed were made in response to changing circumstances.
8.0.2. No non-compliance and no prosecutions were received
during the reporting period.
8.0.3. Mitigation measures according to the environmental mitigation
implementation schedule and the EIA were generally implemented by the
Contractor in this reporting period. Environmental site audit was conducted by
the Environmental Team and the Independent Environmental Checker and no
cumulative environmental impact was identified in the reporting period. Hence,
the EM&A programme was considered effective and shall be maintained.
8.0.4. The
construction programmes of individual contracts are provided in Appendix 8.1.
