Complaints, Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

  1. Two environmental complaints were received in the reporting month.

 

  1. First public complaint regarding direct discharge of muddy effluent referred by RSS was received by ET on 14 July 2015 (ICC Ref.: #2-1149562777). The complainant reported that muddy effluent was directly discharged into nearby marine waters by Chun Wo worker. Further information was received by ET from RSS on 23 July 2015 and the complaint date was clarified to be 11 July 2015 and the concerned vehicle registration number shall be JV 7319.

 

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that no construction works was undertaken by the Contractors HY/2009/19 and adjacent Central WanChai Bypass Project construction site at the concerned location on 11 July 2015. No construction works was undertaken by the Contractor of HY/2009/19 and adjacent Central WanChai Bypass Project construction site at the concerned location on 11 July 2015 and the concerned vehicle (License Plate JV 7319 labelled as Chun Wo) was confirmed not belonging to the Contractor of HY/2009/19.

 

Follow-up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 14 July 2015, no direct discharge connection was further observed on site. No construction works was undertaken by Central WanChai Bypass Project at the concerned location and no sump pit or works area under Central WanChai Bypass Project associated with potential muddy effluent discharge was identified. In addition, a construction area with excavated pit under WSD Contract 12/WSD/10 was noted at the concerned location behind the alleged vehicle responsible for direct discharge of muddy effluent.

Based on the further review on the information received on 23 July 2015, the alleged direct discharge was observed originating from the works area under WSD Contract 12/WSD/10 and not related to the Central Wan Chai Bypass Project construction works.

 

  1. A public complaint regarding malodour referred by EPD was received by ET on 23 July 2015 (EPD Ref.: H05/RS/00018040-15 dated 23 July 2015).

 

The complainant reported that malodour from marine sediment was scented at ex-Wanchai ferry pier near route 720 & 722 bus stop. (Contract HK/2009/02). ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that Rockfill placing works was conducted by one derrick barge at the concerned location (WCR3) under Contract HK/2009/02 on 20 July 2015. No marine sediment was stored or placed on site at the concerned location under Contract HK/2009/02 on 20 July 2015.

 

According to the relevant site records under Contract HK/2009/02, rockfill placing works was conducted by one derrick barge at WCR3 area on 20 July 2015 and no marine sediment was stored or placed on site at the concerned location on the concerned date.

 

Follow-up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 29 July 2015. No marine sediment was observed stored or placed at the concerned location while it was noted that a culvert outfall with potential odour concern is located adjacent to the concerned location.

 

Nevertheless, the Contractor was reminded to review the handling procedures in case of any future marine sediment handling at the concerned location and to consider the implementation of mitigation measures as appropriate to minimize potential malodour impact to nearby public.

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 Designated 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.

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.     The details of individual contracts are summarized in Table2.2.
