Section 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.

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 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.
4.1.6. 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 may 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
Stations
4.2.1. The air monitoring stations for the Project are

Air 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.
Sampling Procedure and
Monitoring Equipment
4.2.5. High volume samplers (HVSs) in compliance with the
following specifications shall be used for carrying out the 1-hour and 24-hour
TSP monitoring:
