Bypass (Register No.: AEIAR-125/2008) and in the EM&A Manual of the
approved EIA Report for Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link
(Register No. AEIAR-041/2001).
1.1.2.
This
report presents the environmental monitoring and auditing work carried out in
accordance to the Section 10.4 of EM&A Manual and “Environmental
Monitoring and Audit Requirements” under Particular
Specification Section 27.

Section 8 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:
·
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.

Noise Monitoring
Parameters, Frequency and Duration
3.1.2. 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.
3.1.3. 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.
3.1.4. 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.

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
3.2.13 Odour patrol shall be 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 (afternoon is preferred for higher daily temperature).

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.
3.2.16 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 3.1.
3.3.1. 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.

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. According
to the Final EM&A Report of Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) for
Contract HK 12/02, the major construction activities were completed by end of
January 2014 and no construction activities were undertaken thereafter and the
water quality monitoring was completed in October 2011 and no Project-related exceedance
was recorded for air and noise monitoring.
It can be concluded that cumulative construction impact due to the
concurrent activities of the current projects with the Central Reclamation
Phase III (CRIII) was insignificant.
7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of Central-Wanchai Bypass at
Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III area include road works and
drainage works were performed in November 2016 reporting month. As no project related exceedance were recorded during the reporting
period, cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the
current projects with the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) was considered
as insignificant.
7.0.4.
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 culvert reinstatement, road
and drains, building demolition and tunnel works at Wan Chai East and tunnel
construction and ELS works at Wan Chai West. The major construction activities
under Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link Projects were
road works and ventilation building construction at Central Interchange,
temporary reclamation removal works at Ex-PCWAW, ELS works and retaining wall
construction at Victoria Park, ELS works and tunnel works at TS3, bridge

Point area.
7.0.5. No significant air impact from
construction activities was anticipated in the reporting month. Besides, no
project related exceedance was recorded during the air and noise environmental
monitoring events in the reporting month. Thus, it is evaluated that the
cumulative construction impact from the concurrent projects including Central
Reclamation Phase III (CRIII), Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII),
Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB), Island Eastern Corridor Link projects (IECL) was
insignificant.
8.0.1. The EM&A programme was carried out in
