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:
¡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.

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:
¡P
be at least 16
years of age;
¡P
be free from any
respiratory illnesses; and
¡P
not be allowed
to smoke, eat, drink (except water) or use chewing gum or sweets 30 min
¡P
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:
¡P
0 - Not
detected. No odour perceived or an odour so weak that it cannot be easily characterized
or described;
¡P
1 - Slight
Identifiable odour, and slight chance to have odour nuisance;
¡P
2 - Moderate
Identifiable odour, and moderate chance to have odour nuisance;
¡P
3 - Strong
Identifiable, likely to have odour nuisance;
¡P
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 ¡V 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.
4.3.1.
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

Exceedances of turbidity and SS level were recorded
at WSD19 and WSD20. Checked with Contractor's works, the deployed silt screen
and silt curtain were in proper condition for the works of sheet pile wall at HKCEC
and dredging for type 2 sediment at HKCEC. In view that the silt screen and
silt curtain were in proper condition, these exceedances were considered no
related to Project work.
6.4.3.
One SS exceedance recorded at C3 on 22 February
2012. Investigation found that the condition of silt screen and silt curtain
was in proper conditions for the works of dredging of type 3 sediments in HKCEC
water channel at CH190- CH195. Other than that, Contractor¡¦s daily recorded
were checked and no further exceedance was recorded in the next consecutive monitoring.

there were in progress during the period of monitoring. The exceedance was due
to cleaning of silt screen at the pumping station. Materials from the cleaning
of silt screen were unavoidably collected during monitoring. Deployed silt screen at intake and silt
curtain at western temporary sheet pile were observed to be in proper condition
during the water quality monitoring, and Contractor has provided all the
necessary mitigation measures to ensure the marine water quality. These

Occasional turbidity and SS exceedances at mid-ebb
and mid-flood were recorded at C8 and C9 in this reporting month. Investigation
revealed that there are 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. The exceedances were
considered as non project- related.

Monthly
EM&A report (February 2012) of Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) is
outstanding in this reporting period, no cumulative construction impact due to
the concurrent activities of the current projects with the Central Reclamation
Phase III (CRIII) could be done.
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 at Reclamation Shoreline Sub-zones
under Wan Chai Development Phase II were the dredging and filling at HKCEC3w,
dredging at submarine sewage pipelines, reinstatement of seawall block
construction at TCBR1W and marine bored piling at MTR Tunnel Crossing in the
reporting month. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at,
7.0.4.
The major environmental impacts generated from the reclamation
work at Central Reclamation Phase III were only located along the coastline of
Central and Admiralty. As no project related exceedance was recorded in the
Project, it was considered no adverse environmental impact caused by the
Project works. Thus, it is evaluated the cumulative construction impact was
insignificant.
