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 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.
2.2.1. 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.

2.3.1. 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.

Noise
Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration
4.1.3.
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.
4.1.4.
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.
4.1.5.
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 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.
4.1.6.
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
4.1.7.
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. Measurements may be accepted as valid only if the calibration level
from before and after the noise measurement agree to within 1.0 dB.
4.1.8.
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.
4.1.9.
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 will be accepted as valid
only if the calibration level from before and after the noise measurement agree
to within 1.0 dB.

Air QUALITY Monitoring
Parameters, Frequency and Duration
4.2.2.
One-hour and 24-hour TSP levels should be measured to indicate the
impacts of construction dust on air quality. The 24-hour TSP levels shall be
measured by following the standard high volume sampling method as set out in
the Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1 (Part 50), Appendix
B.
4.2.3.
All relevant data including temperature, pressure, weather conditions,
elapsed-time meter reading for the start and stop of the sampler,
identification and weight of the filter paper, and any other local atmospheric
factors affecting or affected by site conditions, etc., shall be recorded down
in detail.
4.2.4.
For regular impact monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least once
in every six days, shall be strictly observed at all the monitoring stations
for 24-hour TSP monitoring. For 1-hour TSP monitoring, the sampling frequency
of at least three times in every six days should be undertaken when the highest
dust impact occurs.

made in each individual site audit session were presented in Section 8.
7.0.1.
According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-364/2009/H, this section addresses
the relevant cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of
the current projects including the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII), Wan
Chai Development Phase II (WDII), Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB), Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects (IECL) and Wan Chai Development Phase II – Central – Wan
Chai Bypass at Wan Chai East (CWB Tunnel).
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. As such, it is considered
that there were no cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent
activities of the current projects with the Central Reclamation Phase III
(CRIII) undertaken by contractor HK12/02 in the reporting period.
7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of Central-Wanchai Bypass at
Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III area, no works was conducted
in October 2020 reporting period. In view of the above, the cumulative
construction impact due to the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) was not
anticipated.
7.0.4.
According to the construction programme of Wan Chai Development Phase
II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects, no construction
works under Wan Chai Development Phase II was conducted at Wan Chai. The major
construction activities under Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link Projects were ventilation building ABWF works and modification
works at Central; seabed reinstatement at Causeway Bay, drainage improvement
work and utility diversion works at Victoria Park; bridge noise enclosure
installation works, road works, drainage works, soft landscape works and
ventilation building ABWF work at North Point area in the reporting period. In
addition, other non-Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and
Island Eastern Corridor Link projects were observed undertaken at Wan Chai
North and North Point area.
7.0.5.
As relevant site mitigation measures for air
quality and construction noise were implemented, no significant air quality
impact and noise impact from construction activities was concluded in the
reporting period. Besides, no project related exceedance was recorded in the reporting
period. Thus, it
is evaluated that the cumulative construction impact from the concurrent
projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII), Central-WanChai Bypass
(CWB), Island Eastern Corridor Link projects (IECL) was insignificant.
8.0.1.
During this reporting period, weekly environmental site audits were
conducted for Contracts HY/2009/19, HK/2009/02 and HY/2010/08. No
