- Based on
the joint inspection on 4 Jan 2012 for the NPR area, the 4-week water
quality monitoring at WSD9, WSD10, WSD15, WSD17, C8, C9 to confirm no
water deterioration with respect to NPR was commenced since 7 Jan 2012 and
was completed on 6 Feb 2012 water quality monitoring.
- Water
quality monitoring at WSD10 and WSD15 will be temporary suspended while
water quality monitoring at WSD9 and WSD17 was implemented with respect to
HK/2009/02 from 8 Feb 12 onwards;
- Water quality
monitoring at C8 and C9 have been implemented with respect to HY/2009/19 since
the marine bore piling work started on 28 Jan 12.
- With respect to the trial dredging at
WCR2 was scheduled on 20, 22, 24, 25 March and 1, 3 , 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 20 Apr
2012, on-going water quality monitoring results at WSD21 during this
period was checked and indicated that there was no contribution due to the
trial dredging operation. Enhanced review of water quality around
WCR2 was also implemented and no deterioration in the water quality was
observed.
- Based on
the safety concern when external façade refurbishment was conducted by
contractor employed by Provident Centre
(C9) between 9 January 2012 to 30 July 2012 which caused to the
inaccessibility of sampling either land and marine since 3 Feb 2012, there
is a fine adjustment of the sampling location of water quality monitoring
at C9 since 10 March 2012 to the closest accessible point prior to the
completion of the external façade refurbishment work.
- Due to the
access of water monitoring station at WSD19 was blocked by LCSD
construction works from 3 April 2012 to 2 May 2012 and lead to the
inaccessibility of sampling either land and marine, there is a fine
adjustment of the sampling point of WSD 19 since 5 April 2012 to the
closest accessible point prior to the completion of the construction
activities.
- Due to the enforcement
of Amber Rainstorm Warning Signal on 16, 20 and 27 April 2012, the ebb
tide water monitoring on 16, 20 and 27 April 2012 were cancelled.
- Water quality
monitoring at 18 monitoring stations was conducted three days per week
during the reporting period. The action and limit level exceedances of
water quality monitoring are summarized in Table I.

(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.

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
·

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

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 14 cooling water intakes along the seafront of the

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.

meter shall be carried out before measurement at each monitoring location.
4.3.17. For the on
site calibration of field equipment by the ET, the BS 127:1993, "Guide to
Field and on-site test methods for the analysis of waters" should be
observed.
4.3.18. Sufficient
stocks of spare parts should be maintained for replacements when necessary.
Backup monitoring equipment shall also be made available so that monitoring can
proceed uninterrupted even when some equipment is under maintenance, calibration,
etc.
4.3.19. Current
calibration certificates of equipments are presented in Appendix 4.2.

monitoring of dissolved oxygen are to be carried out 3 days per week, at
mid-flood and mid-ebb tides for 3 water depths (1m below water surface,
mid-depth and 1m above sea bed, except where the water depth less than 6m, the
mid-depth may be omitted. If the water depth be equal to or less than 3m, only
the mid-depth will be monitored).
Daily SS Monitoring and 24
hours Turbidity Monitoring System
4.3.24.
During dredging of the sediment at the
south-western corner of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, daily monitoring of
suspended solids and 24 hour monitoring of turbidity at the cooling water
intakes (C6 and C7) shall be conducted.
4.3.25.
The 24 hours monitoring of turbidty at the cooling water
intakes (C6 and C7) shall be established by setting up a continuous water quality
monitoring station in front of the intakes during the dredging activities. The
monitoring system include the turbidity sensor and data logger which is capable
of data capturing at every 5 minutes. The data sahll be downloaded daily and
compared with the Action and Limit level determined during the baseline water
qualtiy monitoring at the cooling water intake locations.
Additional Dissovled
oxygen Monitoring FOR CULVERT L WATER DISCHARGE FLOW
4.3.26.
In
response to the Condition 2.18 of the Environmental Permit no. EP-356/2009

channel water discharge flow from Culvert L to locations outside the embayment
area, a proposed replacement of the requirement with additional dissolved
oxygen monitoring has been conducted at three monitoring stations, namely A, B
and C between the eastern seawall of Central Reclamation Phase III and the
HKCEC Extension since November 2011 under EP-356/2009 so that DO level between
the eastern seawall of Central Reclamation Phase II and the HKCEC extension
could be continuously monitored.

9. Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution
9.0.1.
One environmental complaint
was received on 5 April 2012 in the reporting period.
9.0.2.
A noise impact complaint
was received by ET on 5 April 2012 (ICC
Ref. No.: 1-349030623 dated 5 April
2012,
forwarded by RSS). The complaint was reported by an anonymous complainant
that excessive noise from
construction sites of CBTS was observed daily before 7:30am except on public
holidays, and the noise source was mainly from piling works. The complainant requested that
construction works should start after 8:30am to avoid nuisance to nearby
residents and a speedy follow-up and reply.
9.0.3.
ET
confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that no piling works were performed during the concerned
period.
9.0.4.
After
reviewing the results of noise monitoring (M2b and M3a), no exceedance was
recorded during daytime period and the noise level was below 75dB (A). Site
inspection for HY/2009/15 was conducted on 10 April 2012. The condition of noise mitigation
measures around CBTS was found satisfactory. RSS confirmed that no pilings were
performed during the concerned period. The major works included drilling,
diaphragm wall construction and excavations.
9.0.5.
HyD
made a reply to the complainant on 16 April 2012 via 1823. HyD replied that the current works at
CBTS were drilling, diaphragm
wall construction and deep excavations. In order
to minimize the noise generated from the above works, the Contractor had erected temporary noise barriers and provided noise blankets on plants. RSS would continue to work with the Contractor on the
effectiveness of the environmental mitigation measures implemented on site. No further complaint was received after the response.
9.0.6.
The details of cumulative complaint log and updated
summary of complaints are presented in Appendix 9.1.
9.0.7.
Cumulative statistic on complaints and successful
prosecutions are summarized in Table 9.1 and Table 9.2

10. Conclusion
10.0.1. 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.
10.0.2.
WDII/RSS
advised that the dredging works for submarine pipeline at
10.0.3.
Water
quality monitoring at WSD10 and WSD15 will be temporary suspended while water
quality monitoring at WSD9 and WSD17 were implemented with respect to
HK/2009/02 for the water quality monitoring scheduled on 8 Feb 12 onwards;
10.0.4.
Water
quality monitoring at C8 and C9 have been implemented with respect to
HY/2009/19 since the marine bore
piling work started on 28 January 2012.
10.0.5.
Based
on the safety concern when external façade refurbishment was conducted by
contractor employed by Provident Centre (C9) between 9 January 2012 to 30 July
2012 which caused to the inaccessibility of sampling either land and marine
since 3 Feb 2012, there is a fine adjustment of the sampling location of water
quality monitoring at C9 since 10 March 2012 to the closest accessible point
prior to the completion of the external façade refurbishment work.
10.0.6.
Due
to the access of water monitoring station at WSD19 was blocked by LCSD
construction works from 3 April 2012 to 2 May 2012 and lead to the inaccessibility
of sampling either land and marine, there is a fine adjustment of the sampling
point of WSD 19 since 5 April 2012 to the closest accessible point prior to the
completion of the construction activities.
10.0.7.
With respect to the trial
dredging at WCR2 was scheduled on 20, 22, 24, 25 March and 1, 3, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 20 Apr 2012, on-going water quality monitoring results at WSD21
during this period was checked and indicated that there was no contribution due
to the trial dredging operation. Enhanced review of water quality around
WCR2 was also implemented and no deterioration in the water quality was
observed.
10.0.8. The
scheduled construction activities and the recommended mitigation measures for
the coming month are listed in Table 10.1.
