Section 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 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.
2.2.1.
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:
¡P 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
¡P
Reprovisioning /
protection of the existing facilities and structures affected by the land
formation works mentioned above
¡P
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
¡P
Upgrading of
hinterland storm water drainage system and sewerage system, which would be
rendered insufficient by the land formation works mentioned above
¡P
Provision of the
ground level roads, flyovers, footbridges, necessary transport facilities and
the associated utility services
¡P
Construction of
the new waterfront promenade, landscape works and the associated utility
services
¡P
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.

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
4.1.3.
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.
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:
¡P
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 ¡V 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.
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:
¡P
0.6 - 1.7 m3 per
minute adjustable flow range;
¡P
equipped with a
timing / control device with +/- 5 minutes accuracy for 24 hours operation;
¡P
installed with elapsed-time
meter with +/- 2 minutes accuracy for 24 hours operation;
¡P
capable of
providing a minimum exposed area of 406 cm2;
¡P
flow control
accuracy: +/- 2.5% deviation over 24-hour sampling period;
¡P
equipped with a
shelter to protect the filter and sampler;
¡P
incorporated
with an electronic mass flow rate controller or other equivalent devices;
¡P
equipped with a
flow recorder for continuous monitoring;
¡P
provided with a
peaked roof inlet;
¡P
incorporated
with a manometer;
¡P
able to hold and
seal the filter paper to the sampler housing at horizontal position;
¡P
easily
changeable filter; and
¡P
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.
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.
4.2.9.
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.
4.2.10. 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.
4.2.11. All the
collected samples shall be kept in a good condition for 6 months before
disposal.
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.
4.3.2.
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 ¡V October) will be
effected and applied to the water quality monitoring data from 30 April 2011.
Water Quality Monitoring Stations
4.3.3.
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.

Water Quality Parameters
4.3.4.
Monitoring of dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity and
suspended solids (SS) shall be carried out at WSD flushing water intakes and
cooling water intakes. DO and Turbidity are measured in-situ while SS is
determined in laboratory.
4.3.5.
In association with the water quality parameters,
other relevant data shall also be measured, such as monitoring location/position,
time, sampling depth, water temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO)
saturation, weather conditions, sea conditions, tidal stage, and any special
phenomena and work underway at the construction site etc.
Sampling Procedures and Monitoring Equipment
4.3.6.
The interval between two sets of monitoring should
not be less than 36 hours except where there are exceedances of Action and/or
Limit Levels, in which case the monitoring frequency will be increased. Table 4.5 shows the proposed

The
maintenance works and testing of flush water pump system at Windsor House intake
(C7) have been carried out in the reporting month. The
silt screen at C7 was then removed on 15 February 2011 and then reinstated on
29 March 2011 to facilitate their maintenance works as per the intake owner¡¦s
request. Considering the absence of intake pump operation at Windsor
House intake (C7), this sensitive receiver was apparently not exist
during this period so
that no water quality monitoring at C7 for compliance checking was undertaken
in this reporting month.

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 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 exceedances were
within the baseline tolerance of the monitoring stations C8 and C9. The
recorded turbidity and SS exceedances were concluded as not project related.
6.4.2.
Reviewed the trend of overall results at all
monitoring stations nearer the marine work area, the turbidity and SS
exceedances recorded at WSD15 and WSD17 while low turbidity and SS levels were
recorded at the stations near the marine work area without exceeded the action
and limit level. Thus, theses turbidity and SS exceedances were considered not
related to the Project works.
Contract
no. HK/2009/01 - Wan Chai Development Phase II ¡V Central ¡VWanchai Bypass at

6.4.3.
Referring
to all exceedances recorded at WSD7, WSD19 and WSD20, there was no exceedance
recorded at the most of monitoring stations nearer the marine work area for
Contract HK/2009/01. Those exceedances were considered as not related to the
Project works.
6.4.4.
Exceedances
of turbidity and SS level at C3 were recorded on 31 March and 18 April 2011. Investigation
found that it may be caused the filling operation in the congested water
channel under HKCEC area. Contractor was recommended to review the silt screen
effectiveness and deployed an additional barrier so as to minimize the
potential impact which may cause by filing operation. It was concluded that the
exceedances might potentially related to the filling operation and insufficient
silt screen maintenance.

Contractor HY/2009/15 on 7 Apr 2011, no major marine activities were carried
out at Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter in the morning of 4 April 2011. In view
that no major marine activities was undertaken prior to and during the
monitoring, the DO exceedance was considered not related to the Project.

6.4.7.
No exceedance was recorded in the reporting month.
6.4.8.
Summary for notification of exceedances can be
referred to Appendix 6.2.
6.5.1.
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.
6.5.2.
There were exceedances of turbidity and SS level recorded at
C3 on 31 March and 18 April 2011 that might potentially related to the filling
operation and insufficient silt screen maintenance. Contractor was recommended
to review the silt screen effectiveness and deploy an additional barrier so as
to minimize the potential impact which may cause by filing operation.
6.6.1.
In response to the exceedances recorded at water
monitoring station C3 on 31 March and 18 April 2011, review on the silt screen
effectiveness and deployment of silt curtain were recommended to Contractor
HK/2009/01. Contractor has deployed an additional barrier so as to minimize the
potential impact which may cause by filing operation.
6.6.2.
Contractor of HK/2009/01 should speed up the
implementation of the recommended mitigation measures for the filling operation
in the HKCEC water channel. Frequency of the maintenance and inspection of silt
screen and silt curtain at C3 intake shall be further enhanced. The
implementation of the recommended mitigation measures would be continuously
followed-up and reported in the next reporting period.
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 (March 2011) of
Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) the key works in April 2011 are as
follows:
¡P

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& NPR2W), the filling at WCR1 and dredging at Wan
Chai Reclamation Shoreline Subzone (Submarine sewage pipeline) respectively,
filling at HKCEC1 and dredging at TCBR and filling at TPCEAE, and the dredging
works at MTR Tunnel Crossing 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. The exceedances at C3 are potentially due
to localized sources (the filling operation at HKCEC water channel) and were
unlikely due to cumulative impact from CRIII. It is evaluated the cumulative
construction impact from the concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development
Phase II and Central Reclamation Phase III was insignificant.
8.0.1.
During this reporting month, weekly environmental
site audits were conducted for Contracts no. HY/2009/11, HK/2009/01,
HK/2009/02, HY/2009/15 and HK/2010/06. No non-conformance was identified during
the site audits.

An incident on dispersed muddy boom was observed by
the IEC on 1 April 2011 in the area between outside the government helipad and
eastern temporary seawall at WCR1. Silt curtain at the breakwater of TPCWA was
maintained while the silt curtain for the reclamation shoreline subzone at
TPCWAE was opened at the time of observation and some localized muddy boom at
TPCWA was observed. Further investigation by ET revealed that:
¡P
Muddy discharge from unknown source generated from the existing Box
Culvert N was considered to be the major cause, possibly due to local discharge
from unknown source at the stormdrain upstream to Box Culvert N. Muddy boom was
further dispersed by current movement outside the government helipad.
¡P
Localized mud plume emerged within the ex-Cargo area was not properly
enclosed by silt curtain producing some minor impact around the breakwater at
TPCWA.
¡P
Defects found for the silt curtains deployed in TPCWAE reduced the
effectiveness of the silt curtain system.
8.0.8.
Contractor of HY/2009/15 was urged to rectify the
defects found for the silt curtains. Further independent diver inspection on
the silt curtain on 14 Apr 2011 confirmed the silt curtain was in proper
condition. Silt curtain deployment plan was subsequently revised to include
specific details on the marine access for TPCWAE. No further dispersion was
observed after a week's operation and this case was closed.
8.0.9.
Frequent muddy boom dispersion were observed around
the marine entrance to the TPCWA on 2, 5 & 6 April 2011, resulting in
escape of muddy boom through the marine access of the ex-Cargo Area. Further
investigation by ET revealed that escape of silt from the filling area at TPCWA
eventually lead to frequent dispersion of muddy boom by routine towing action.
Filling operation was immediately suspended by contractor of HY/2009/15 for
review of silt curtain and towing operation. Site trial towing was conducted on
14 Apr 2011 and found that a reduced towing speed of 0.5 nautical miles per
hour could control the dispersion of muddy boom within the area enclosed by
silt curtain. No further dispersion was observed after a week's operation and
this case was closed.
9.0.1.
There were two environmental complaints received in
this reporting month.
9.0.2.
A dust impact and mosquitoes breeding complaint
from Government Complaint Hotline ICC direct referral (ICC#1- 281451236) was
received by ET on 18 April 2011. The complaint was reported by the resident, Mr
Law at Victoria Centre that dust generated at 10:04 on 15 April in which
suspected the filling operation was part of North Point Reclamation.
9.0.3.
The concerned stockpile was a working stockpile and
was covered at night time after work. Water spraying on the haul road and
potential dust generating material at least 4 times a day was conducted by
contractor that complies with the requirement. It is considered invalid but
preventive actions can be taken because the stockpile is relatively large and
easily visible by complainant. The concern of mosquitoes breeding is not under the
scope of EM&A, the follow-up action are not reported in this monthly
EM&A report.
9.0.4.
Another complaint was reported from a resident, Ms
Chiu at Victoria Centre via the Government Complaint Hotline ICC direct
referral (ICC# 1-272874759) regarding the episode of night noise on 19/4/11 and 20/4/11
at 2:50 am and the noise lasted for 30 minutes per night. According to the
RSS¡¦s record, there was no construction works undertaken under
the EP-356/2009 during the concern time period. Besides, there was no abnormal
real-time noise monitoring data recorded in RTN1 - FEHD Hong Kong Transport
Section Whitefield Depot which is next to the Victoria Centre. As such, it is
considered as invalid complaint under this Project.
9.0.5.
The details of cumulative complaint log and updated
summary of complaints are presented in Appendix 9.1.
