Turbidity and SS exceedances at C8 on 30 December 2010 were recorded. Due to intake owner's constraint, delay was experienced in the re-provision of modified frame-type silt screen to protect City Garden intake against potential impact arising from the dredging works and accumulation of discharge and pollutants from nearby outfall adjacent to the intake. The exceedances were confirmed related to HY/2009/11 contractor difficulties in the provision of frame type silt screen. Contractor enhanced mitigation measures with a double layer silt curtain on 7 Jan 2011. No further exceedance was recorded after installation of double layer silt curtain. Close monitoring on contractor mitigation and the variation of water quality results will be maintained. Contractor will further liaise with the owner on the re-provision of the frame-type silt screen.

Complaints, Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

There were no environmental complaint was recorded in the reporting month.

An incident of split hopper barge named Shun Tat 11 (Licence no. B21623V) for the Contract no. HK/2009/01 was recorded at the location near Cross Harbour Water Mains marine work zone on 24 January 2011. The ballast tank on the port side of the split hopper barge was flooded with water. The split hopper barge was towed back to the dredging zone within a short period and immediately opened its hopper to dump the sediment back to the same dredging trench. It is suspected that the hull on the port side might be broken causing ingress of seawater into the ballast tanks. Meanwhile, the barge has been demobilized from the site and currently anchored at To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter. The emergency dumping was notified to EPD at 10:00a.m. on 24 January 2011. This barge will not be deployed to the site under HK/2009/01 to dispose the dredged sediment until it has been repaired and inspected by the competent surveyor. The incident will be kept in view for determining further follow up and remedial measures.

Site Inspections and Audit

The Environmental Team (ET) conducted weekly site inspections for Contract nos. HY/2009/11, HK/2009/01, HK/2009/02 and HY/2009/15 under EP no. EP-356/2009 in the reporting month.

2. Project Background

2.1 Background

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 Island Eastern Corridor Link (Register No. AEIAR-041/2001) and Wan Chai Development phase II and Central-Wan Chai Bypass (Register No.: AEIAR-125/2008) have been approved on 31 August 2001 and 11 December 2008 respectively.

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 east-west Connaught Road Central/Harcourt Road / Gloucester Road Corridor (the Corridor) which is currently operating beyond its capacity. The CWB will provide relief to the existing congestion along the Corridor and cater for the anticipated growth of traffic on Hong Kong Island. Without the CWB and its access roads, there will not be sufficient capacity to serve the heavy traffic demands at both strategic and local levels.

2.2 Scope of the Project and Site Description

2.2.1. The Project is located mainly in Wan Chai North, Causeway Bay and North Point, and is demarcated by Gloucester Road and Victoria Park Road to the south, Fenwick Pier Street to the west and Tong Shui Road Interchange to the east, as shown in Figure 2.1.

2.2.2. The study area encompasses existing developments along the Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and North Point shorelines. Major land uses include the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) Extension, the Wan Chai Ferry Pier, the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area (ex-PCWA), the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), the Police Officers’ Club, the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter (CBTS) and commercial and residential developments.

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. Figure 2.1 shows the locations of these Schedule 2 DPs.

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 (L_eq). L_{eq (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, L_{eq (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. 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

4.1.6. 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.

4.1.7. 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.

4.2 Air Monitoring

Air Quality Monitoring Stations

4.2.1. The air monitoring stations for the Project are listed and shown in Table 4.3 and Figure 4.1. Appendix 4.1 shows the established Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

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;

· 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;

· able to hold and seal the filter paper to the sampler housing at horizontal position;

· easily changeable filter; and

· capable of operating continuously for a 24-hour period.

4.2.6. 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

4.2.7. 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.

4.2.8. 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.

4.2.9. 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.

4.2.10. All the collected samples shall be kept in a good condition for 6 months before disposal.

4.3 Water Quality Monitoring

4.3.1. 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.

Water Quality Monitoring Stations

4.3.2. It is proposed to monitor the water quality at 9 WSD salt water intakes and 12 cooling water intakes along the seafront of the Victoria Harbour. The proposed water quality monitoring stations of the Project are shown in Table 4.4 and Figure 4.1. Appendix 4.1 shows the established Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

6.1.2. No exceedance was recorded in the reporting month.

Contract no. HK/2009/02 - Wan Chai Development Phase II – Central – Wan Chai Bypass at WanChai East

6.1.3. Two limit level exceedances were recorded at M1a - Harbour Road Sports Centre on 4 and 12 January 2011 during restricted hour. Major noise source was contributed from Tonnochy Road and water sport competition at Wan Chai Training Swimming Pool. The dredging work was complied with the conditions under valid Construction Noise Permit no. GW-RS0777-10 during the measurement.

Contract no. HY/2009/15 - Central-Wanchai Bypass – Tunnel (Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Section)

6.1.4. No exceedance was recorded in the reporting month.

6.2 Real-time noise Monitoring

Contract no. HY/2009/11 – Central – Wanchai Bypass, North Point Reclamation

6.2.1. No exceedance was recorded in the reporting month.

6.3 Air Monitoring

6.3.1. No exceedance was recorded in the reporting month.

6.4 Water Quality Monitoring

Contract no. HY/2009/11 – Central – Wanchai Bypass, North Point Reclamation

6.4.1. Referring to the exceedances shown in Table 5.9, the occasionally action and limit level exceedances of turbidity and suspended solid were recorded at C8 and C9. Stations WSD15 had one SS exceedance recorded in this month.

6.4.2. Since there were numerous unknown outfalls from the nearby coastal area closed to the cooling intakes C8 and C9, it causes the potential for accumulation of pollutants near the intakes and may lead to potential water quality deterioration at the seawater intake points. Most of the turbidity and SS exceedances were concluded as not project related exceedances excluded the exceedance at C8 on 30 December 2010.

6.4.3. Turbidity and SS exceedances at C8 on 30 December 2010 were recorded. Due to intake owner's constraint, delay was experienced in the re-provision of modified frame-type silt screen to protect City Garden intake against potential impact arising from the dredging works and accumulation of discharge and pollutants from nearby outfall adjacent to the intake. The exceedances were confirmed related to HY/2009/11 contractor difficulties in the provision of frame type silt screen. Contractor enhanced mitigation measures with a double layer silt curtain on 7 January 2011. No further exceedance was recorded after installation of double layer silt curtain. Close monitoring on contractor mitigation and the variation of water quality results will be maintained. Contractor will further liaise with the owner on the re-provision of the frame-type silt screen.

6.4.4. Reviewed the trend of overall results at all monitoring stations nearer the marine work area, the SS exceedance recorded at WSD15 while low SS value was recorded at the stations near the marine work area without exceeded the action and limit level.

7. Cumulative Construction Impact due to the Concurrent Projects

7.0.1. According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-356/2009, this section addresses the relevant cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current projects including the Central Reclamation Phase III, Central-Wanchai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects.

7.0.2. From the Monthly EM&A report (December 2010) of Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) the key works in January 2011 are as follows:

· Architectural works and commissioning tests at Pier 7;

· Wet Trades and Architectural works at the Lower, middle and upper decks of Pier 8 and steel frame for roof glazing;

· CTB installation of clock into the clock tower, architectural and E & M works & link bridge construction;

· Piling (Socket H-Pile & Rock Anchors) and tie beam works at Public Pier West;

· Testing and Commissioning of Pump Station P5.1;

· Electricity Cable laying to Piers and to ESBs S11.1 & S11.2 (temporary);

· MYS Footbridge – cross head construction and steel frame fabrication (off Site);

· MYS storm drainage, sewers, watermains and roadworks to pier areas;

· MYS Laying of 800 dia. Cooling Main;

· MYS Existing Culvert F – preparation for desilting and stabilisation works for culvert.

· MYS Culvert F Extension –preparation for piling for Bay 1;

· General filing works above +2.5mpd in IRAE;

· In situ work to caisson and pumping stations’ seawall copings;

· Internal E&M works to IRAE pump stations;

· ESB (S8.1 & S9.1) –Installation of generators and cabling works;

· ESB (S11.1 & S11.2) –ABWF and E&M works;

· Culvert J piling and structural works;

· Bored piling at Eastern Seawall and;

· Cooling water main construction in Lung Wui Road, Edinburgh Place and in IRAE.

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 activities under Wan Chai Development Phase II were the dredging and filling works at North Point Reclamation Shoreline Subzone (NPR2E) and (NPR1) respectively, the dredging and filling at submarine sewage pipline and Wan Chai Reclamation Shoreline Subzone (WCR1) respectively, dredging at HKCEC1 and cross harbour water mains and dredging at TCBR1W, TCBRAW, TPCWAE and TCBR1E for seawall construction in the reporting month. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at North Point and Wan Chai.

7.0.4. The major environmental impacts generated from the filling work at Central Reclamation Phase III were only located along the coastline of Central and Admiralty. As only one project-related exceedance was recorded in North Point district that is far away from the work area of CRIII, 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.

9.0.4. An incident of split hopper barge named Shun Tat 11 (Licence no. B21623V) for the Contract no. HK/2009/01 was recorded at the location near Cross Harbour Water Mains marine work zone on 24 January 2011. The ballast tank on the port side of the split hopper barge was flooded with water. The split hopper barge was towed back to the dredging zone within a short period and immediately opened its hopper to dump the sediment back to the same dredging trench. It is suspected that the hull on the port side might be broken causing ingress of seawater into the ballast tanks. Meanwhile, the barge has been demobilized from the site and currently anchored at To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter. The emergency dumping was notified to EPD at 10:00a.m. on 24 January 2011. This barge will not be deployed to the site under HK/2009/01 to dispose the dredged sediment until it has been repaired and inspected by the competent surveyor. The incident will be kept in view for determining further follow up and remedial measures.
