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. Design and Construction of Central – Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link under the Project involves the construction and operation of a trunk road and its road tunnel more than 800m in length between portals that is shown at Figure 2.1.

2.2.2. The study area encompasses existing developments from Central to North Point. The scope of the Central-Wanchai Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern Corridor Link (IECL) includes:

· A dual three-lane trunk road, approximately 4.5 km in length, and tunnel approximately 3.7 km in length defined from the connection with the existing Rumsey Street Flyover in Central, through to a connection with the existing Island Eastern Corridor to the east of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter (CBTS);

· The Central Interchange near the Rumsey Street Flyover to provide road connections to the Central area;

· Tunnel control buildings and ventilation buildings;

· Slip roads to connect the CWB to the local road system in the Wan Chai North and Causeway Bay area;

· Associated road lighting, road signing, traffic control and surveillance system; and

· Other associated works.

2.2.3. 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.

DP6	Dredging for the Cross-harbour Water Mains from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui	Schedule 2, Part I, C.12	A dredging operation less than 100 m from a seawater intake point

2.3 Division of the Project Responsibility

2.3.1. Due to the multi-contract nature of the Project, there are a number of contracts sub-dividing the whole works area into different work areas to be commenced. Contractors of individual contracts will be required by the EP holder to apply Further Environmental Permits such that the impact monitoring stations are sub-divided accordingly to facilitate the implementation of EM&A programme and to streamline the EM&A reporting for individual FEP holders correspondingly.

2.3.2. In the reporting month, Central-Wanchai Bypass – Tunnel (Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter Section) was commenced on 13 July 2011. The details of individual contracts are summarized in Table2.2.

Real time Noise Monitoring Stations

4.1.2. Review of feasibility on the real time noise monitoring stations was conducted in July with IEC. Station, RTN1a, Tung Lo Wan fireboat Station was found not appropriate to be a monitoring station for monitoring the IECL Piling works and Demolition after visited.

4.1.3. The noise monitoring stations for the Project are listed and shown in Table 4.2 and Figure 4.1.. Appendix 4.1 shows the established Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

Table 4.2 Real Time Noise Monitoring Stations

District	Station	Description
Tin Hau	RTN1	FEHD Hong Kong Transport Section Whitefield Depot
North Point	RTN2	Oil Street Community Liaison Centre

Noise Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

4.1.4. The construction noise level shall be measured in terms of the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (L_eq). L_{eq (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, L_{eq (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.

4.1.5. 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.

4.1.6. Real time noise shall be carried out at the designated monitoring stations. The following is an initial guide on the regular monitoring frequency for each station on a 24 hours daily basis when noise generating activities are underway:

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

· One set of measurements between 1900 and 2300 hours on normal weekdays and 0700 and 2300 hours on public holidays.

· One set of measurements between 2300 and 0700 hours on next day on everyday.

4.1.7. 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

4.1.8. 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.

Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution

9.0.1. There were five complaints received in the reporting month.

9.0.2. A noise impact complaint ICC complaint no.1-305074350 by Mr. TSUI on 30 July 2011 referred by RSS to Environmental Team on 1 August 2011. He complained on the construction noise generated by the construction operations of Central-Interchange which is near the spa room. In addition, Mr. TSUI enquired the commencement time of the construction on Saturday. RSS confirmed the noisiest plant from 2 vibratory hammers has been conducted in alternating manner for sheet piling works to minimize noise due to current plant operation as one of the mitigation measures implemented by contractor for noise reduction. Further investigation revealed that no construction noise exceedance was recorded at noise monitoring station of IFC Western End of Podium on 25 July 2011 and 4 August 2011 during daytime period while sheet piling and excavation works were undertaken during monitoring. No further complaint from complainant was received after the liaison. In conclusion, it was related to the construction works under Contract HY/2009/18 and mitigation measure was provided.

9.0.3. A noise impact complaint ICC complaint no.1-304615409 by Ms. Chiu on 27 July 2011 referred by RSS to Environmental Team on 28 July 2011. She complained on the construction noise generated from the construction operations of Central-Wanchai Bypass in 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 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 7 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.

9.0.4. 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.

9.0.5. A visual complaint, ICC no. 1-307657681, was received on 23 August 2011. The complainant from City Garden complained that nuisance generated by light from a large amount of spot-lights on the barge during mid-night on 17 August 2011 in 0100 hrs. Confirmed with RE, due to the safety reason, flood lights shall be provided and functioned on the barge in accordance with the provisions of the Merchant Shipping (Safety) Ordinance to prevent collisions and some non-essential lights were turned on during night-time period. Investigation found that these lights caused the nuisance to the nearby residents. Highways contacted the complainant on 17 August 2011 explaining the necessity of the lighting and requested the contractor of HY/2009/19 to switch off all non-essential lights to minimize nuisance to the nearby residents. A follow-up contact was made by Highways again on 18 August 2011 to confirm the efficiency of the mitigation measure and arrangement. The complainant was satisfied with them and no further complaint was received after that. In conclusion, it was related to the construction works under Contract HY/2009/19 and mitigation measure was provided.

9.0.6. 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.

9.0.7. 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.
