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.

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:

·          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.

·          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.        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.

impact monitoring for odour patrol

4.2.12.    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

4.2.13.    Odour patrol shall be conducted by independent trained personnel / competent persons patrolling and sniffing around the shore as shown in Figure 4.1 to detect any odour at the concerned hours (afternoon is preferred for higher daily temperature).

4.2.14.    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.

4.2.15.    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.

 

4.2.16.    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 6.1.

4.2.17.    The qualified odour patrol member has individual n-butanol thresholds complied with the requirement of European Standard Method of Air Quality – Determination of Odour Concentration by Dynamic Olfactometry (EN13725) in the range of 20 to 80 ppb. The certificate for the qualified odour panel member is shown in Appendix 4.2.

 

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.

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 – September) 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 monitoring frequency and water quality parameters.  Duplicate in-situ measurements and water sampling should be carried out in each sampling event.  For selection of tides for in-situ measurement and water sampling, tidal range of individual flood and ebb tides should be not less than 0.5m.

Notes:

1.       For selection of tides for in-situ measurement and water sampling, tidal range of individual flood and ebb tides should be not less than 0.5m.

2.       Turbidity should be measured in situ whereas SS should be determined by laboratory.

 

Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Measuring Equipment

4.3.7.        The instrument should be a portable, weatherproof dissolved oxygen measuring instrument complete with cable, sensor, comprehensive operation manuals, and use a DC power source.  It should be capable of measuring:

·          a dissolved oxygen level in the range of 0-20 mg/l and 0-200% saturation

·          a temperature of 0-45 degree Celsius

4.3.8.        It should have a membrane electrode with automatic temperature compensation complete with a cable.  Sufficient stocks of spare electrodes and cables should be available for replacement where necessary. (e.g. YSI model 59 meter, YSI 5739 probe, YSI 5795A submersible stirrer with reel and cable or an approved similar instrument).

4.3.9.        Should salinity compensation not be build-in in the DO equipment, in-situ salinity shall be measured to calibrate the DO equipment prior to each DO measurement.

Turbidity Measurement Instrument

6.4.5.        There were DO level at the ex- WPCWA and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter exceeded the Action Level or Limit Level on 11, 13, 25 and 27 August 2011 in the impact water monitoring and enhanced DO monitoring. The low DO levels were possible in relation to the low flow and recorded low water depth during the ebb tide. Besides, the red tide occurrences were recorded in Hong Kong and its adjacent waters since the mid-August 2011. In view that no odour nuisance was detected during monitoring, the DO exceedances were considered not related to the Project. With reference to the odour patrol results on 23 August 2011, the detected odour intensity at ex- WPCWA and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter was found to be from level 0 up to level 1 which were below the Action Level. These DO exceedances were considered as the natural variation and not related to the Project works.

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

·          Type A filling in FRAW and FRAE above +2.5mPD;

·          General filling works above +2.5mPD in IRAE;

·          Surcharging in FRAW and FRAE;

·          Installation of removable panels at caisson;

·          Installation of remaining seawall blocks and retaining wall on the west side of culvert F;

·          Construction of storm and foul drainage and gullies in hinterlands for Road P2 and Road D9;

·          Roadworks for Road P2;

·          Construction of GPO boundary wall;

·          Construction of PLA boundary wall and entrance;

·          Construction of Promenade enhancement works;

9.         Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution

9.0.1.        There were three environmental complaints received on 8, 10 and 26 August 2011 in the reporting month.

9.0.2.        To follow-up the noise complaint via 1823 (ICC no.1-304615409) by Ms. Chiu on 27 July 2011 in last reporting month, she complained on the construction noise generated from the construction operations of Central-Wanchai Bypass in the morning at 7am rather than at noon. RSS confirmed to start the rock breaking activities at 8m as a mitigation measure to minimize the noise nuisance in the vicinity of the residents. Further investigation revealed that no construction noise exceedance was recorded at noise monitoring station of Victoria Centre on 25 July, 4 and 10 August 2011 during daytime period while breaking and excavation works were undertaken during monitoring. However, complainant did not satisfy with the response on the noise nuisance from the rock-breaking during morning in front of Victoria Centre and then further complained via 1823 on 8 August 2011. Highways contacted the complainant on 15 August 2011 that the noisy rock breaking operation had been completed. No further complaint from complainant was received after the liaison. In conclusion, it was related to the construction works under Contract HY/2009/15 and mitigation measure was provided.

9.0.3.        An ICC complaint no. 1 – 306740207 was received on 10 August 2011. The complainant, Mr. Yip complained that muddy water was discharged from work site to the seafront near Oil Street during heavy rain. According to the Hong Kong Observatory, there was amber rainstorm on August 2011. Confirmed with RE, muddy water was caused by a heap of earth being washed to the sea by heavy rain. The heap of earth was referred as a small stockpile placed close to the seafront in front of Oil Street within the site area under handover transition period from contract HY/2009/11 to contract HY/2009/19. The necessary mitigation measures to protect the small stockpile against rainfall were missing at the time of complaint. The stockpile at the seafront near Oil Street had been removed. The cause of the complaint is still under investigation between ET and RSS of CWB. To avoid any further environmental deficiency, Contractors shall ensure all necessary environmental mitigation measures will not be missing during site area handover.

9.0.4.        A noise complaint was raised by Grand Hyatt and a complainant via 1823 on 26 August 2011 regarding construction noise and vibration nuisance generated from the works at Convention Avenue and inside the HKCEC1 reclamation area. Confirmed with the Resident Site Staff, the construction works were referred to the Contractor HK/2009/01 and the excavator mounted breaker at Convention Avenue and drilling rig at HKCEC1 reclamation area were the dominant construction noise source during this period. The drilling rig at HKCEC1 reclamation area and excavator mounted breaker at Convention Avenue were then temporary suspended after received the complaint.

9.0.5.        Investigation revealed that the erected noise barriers (4m cantilevered movable noise barrier for the drilling rig and 1m movable noise barrier for the excavator mounted breaker) were not located close to the plants to provide adequate noise screening. Contractor was advised to avoid concurrent operation of construction plants at site. Further enhancement of movable noise barriers at HKCEC1 and providing noise enclosure for the excavator mounted breaker at Convention Avenue are needed. Further investigation and checking on 31 August and 7 September 2011 revealed that the implemented noise mitigation measures were in proper and minimize the noise impact.

9.0.6.        To follow-up the noise complaint via 1823 (ICC no. 1-304013959) by Ms. Yau, the resident at Victoria Centre on 23 July 2011 in last reporting month, she complained that noise impact was generated from the operations at the reclamation area of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter at 7am while most of the residents at Victoria Centre were sleeping. RSS confirmed to start the rock breaking activities at 8m as a mitigation measure to minimize the noise nuisance in the vicinity of the residents. Further investigation revealed that no construction noise exceedance was recorded at noise monitoring station of Victoria Centre on 25 July and 4 August 2011 during daytime period while breaking and excavation works were undertaken during monitoring. In conclusion, it was related to the construction works under Contract HY/2009/15 and mitigation measure was provided. No further complaint from complainant was received after proposed the mitigation measure.

9.0.7.        The details of cumulative complaint log and updated summary of complaints are presented in Appendix 9.1.
