10 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
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.
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
·
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.

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.

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.
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.

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. Measurements may be accepted as valid only if the calibration level
from before and after the noise measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.
4.1.9.
Noise
measurements shall not be made in fog, rain, wind with a steady speed exceeding
5 m/s or wind with gusts exceeding 10 m/s. The wind speed shall be checked with
a portable wind speed meter capable of measuring the wind speed in m/s.
4.1.10. The sound level meter shall be checked using an
acoustic calibrator generating a known sound pressure level at a known
frequency before deployment to the site and during each site visit.
Measurements July be accepted as valid only if the calibration level from
before and after the noise measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.

A visual impact complaint from hotline 1823 was
received by ET on 9 January 2012 (ICC Ref. No.: ICC#1-333037096 dated on 12
December 2011). The complaint, Mr Tsui reported that visual nuisance caused by
lighting in the construction site regarding HY/2009/18 during night time. A
joint inspection was conducted by Mr. Tsui and contractor on that night to see
whether there is any improvement.

The second complaint was raised from the
complainant, Ms. Poon complained via hotline 1823 (Ref no.: 1-334683841)
regarding the construction air and noise nuisance generated that many trucks
carrying construction materials driving along Watson Road and Oil Street relevant
to the contractor no. HY/2009/17 and HY/2009/19 and possibly entering/leaving
the construction site near the Island Eastern Corridor during 0800 to 1900
hours on 20 December 2011.
