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 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.
2.3.2.
In the reporting month, advance
piling work at FEHD Whitfield Depot under Contract no. HY/2009/17 was commenced
on 5 October 2010 and pending to construct one pile cap. In addition, Central - Wanchai Bypass Tunnel (North Point Section) and

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 listed and shown in Table 4.3 and Figure 4.1..

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:
·
0.6 - 1.7 m3 per minute adjustable flow
range;
·

7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of Wan
Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor
Link projects, the major construction activity under Wan Chai Development Phase
II was the filling works at North Point Reclamation Stage 1(NPR1), dredging
works and filling works at Wan Chai Reclamation Stage 1(WCR1), Advanced piling
works at FEHD Whitfield Depot, Central Interchange and cross-harbour water
mains in the reporting month. The major environmental impact was water quality
impact at North Point and Wan Chai. Land-based construction activity was only advance
piling works at FEHD Whitfield Depot and slip road construction from Man Po
Street to Finance Street at Central in the reporting month.
7.0.4.
The major environmental impacts generated from
the Central Reclamation Phase III were located along the coastline of Central
and Admiralty while advanced piling
works at FEHD Whitfield
Depot were undertaken and slip road construction from
Man Po Street to Finance Street at Central in the reporting month. No significant
air, noise impact were anticipated in the reporting month. Besides, no
environmental monitoring exceedance was recorded from the Project in the
reporting month. Thus, it is evaluated
that the cumulative construction impact from the concurrent projects including
Wan Chai Development Phase II and Central Reclamation Phase III was
insignificant.
8.0.1.
During this reporting month, weekly
environmental site audits were conducted for Contracts no. HY/2009/17,
HY/2009/18 and HY/2009/19. No non-conformance was identified during the site
