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.

HY/2009/19 for the marine piling works, box culvert construction and seawall reinstatement which were inside EP-356/2009 boundary.

Noise Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

3.1.2. The construction noise level was measured in terms of the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (L_eq). L_{eq (30 minutes)} was 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)} was employed for comparison with the Noise Control Ordinance (NCO) criteria. Supplementary information for data auditing, statistical results such as L10 and L90 were also obtained for reference.

3.1.3. Noise monitoring was carried out at all the designated monitoring stations. The monitoring frequency depended 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 were underway:

· One set of measurements between 0700 and 1900 hours on normal weekdays.

3.1.4. If construction works were extended to include works during the hours of 1900 – 0700 as well as public holidays and Sundays, additional weekly impact monitoring was carried out during respective restricted hour’s periods.

Monitoring Equipment

3.1.5. As referred to 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 were used for carrying out the noise monitoring. Immediately prior to and following each noise measurement the accuracy of the sound level meter was checked using an acoustic calibrator generating a known sound pressure level at a known frequency. Measurements were accepted as valid only if the calibration level from before and after the noise measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.

3.1.6. Noise measurements was not carried out in fog, rain, wind with a steady speed exceeding 5 m/s or wind with gusts exceeding 10 m/s. The wind speed was checked with a portable wind speed meter capable of measuring the wind speed in m/s.

3.2.10. After sampling, the filter paper loaded with dust was kept in a clean and tightly sealed plastic bag. The filter paper was then 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 was regularly calibrated against a traceable standard.

3.2.11. All the collected samples were kept in a good condition for 6 months before disposal.

Monitoring for Odour Patrol

3.2.12. Odour patrols along the shorelines of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter and ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area when there was temporary reclamation in Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter and in the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area, or when there was dredging of the odorous sediment and slime at the south-western corner of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. The operational odour monitoring was carried out for 3 years period.

3.2.13. Odour patrols were carried out at bi-weekly intervals during July, August and September by a qualified person of the ET who was:

· at least 16 years of age;

· free from any respiratory illnesses; and

· not allowed to smoke, eat, drink (except water) or use chewing gum or sweets 30 min before and during odour patrol.

3.2.14. Odour patrol was conducted by independent trained personnel / competent persons patrolling and sniffing around the shore as shown in Figure 3.1 to detect any odour at the concerned hours.

3.2.15. The qualified person used 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 was identified.

3.2.16. The perceived odour intensity was divided into 5 levels which 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.

3.2.17. The findings including odour intensity, odour nature and possible odour sources, and also the local wind speed and direction at each location were recorded. In addition, some relevant meteorological and tidal data such as daily average temperature, and daily average humidity, on that surveyed day were obtained from the Hong Kong Observatory Station for reference. The Action and Limit levels for odour patrol are shown in Appendix 3.1.

3.2.18. The qualified odour patrol member had 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.

Remark 1: As per the meeting with the representative of Excelsior Hotel and World Trade Centre on 17 May 2011, they confirmed that the seawater intake for The Excelsior was no longer in use and replaced by the connected permanent water supply from WSD pipelines since 11 January 2011. Thus, the impact water quality monitoring for the cooling intake - C6 was terminated effective from 26 May 2011.

Remark 2: Due to the significant location difference, the previous water quality monitoring stations were considered to be invalid to represent the water quality at relocated cooling water intake. In addition, the site areas at the previous water quality monitoring stations were changed and affected by construction activities and no longer available for water quality monitoring. Under such circumstances, the water quality monitoring stations shall be relocated to the respective relocated intake locations. The summary of relocation of water quality monitoring stations are shown in below table 3.4.
