Noise Monitoring

  1. Noise monitoring during daytime was conducted at M1a - Harbour Road Sports Center; M2b - Noon-day gun area; M3a - Tung Lo Wan Fire Station; M4b - Victoria Center; M5b - City Garden, M6 - HK Baptist Church Henrietta Secondary School, M7e and M7w – International Finance Centre Eastern and Western End of Podium on a weekly basis. A limit level exceedance was recorded at M6 - HK Baptist Church Henrietta Secondary School on 31 October 2011 and a limit level exceedance was recorded at M7e - International Finance Centre (Eastern End of Podium) on 15 November 2011 during day time. Moreover, four limit level exceedances were recorded at M1a - Harbour Road Sports Centre on 31 October, 8, 15, 21 November 2011 during restricted hour. A limit level exceedance was recorded at M2b - Noon-day gun area and M7e – International Finance Centre Eastern End of Podium on 21 November 2011 during restricted hour, respectively. After checking contractors’ work schedules and investigation found that contractor complied with the requirement in valid CNPs during restricted hours noise monitoring.
  2. However, the limit level exceedance recorded at M6 - HK Baptist Church Henrietta Secondary School on 31 October 2011 during day time was due to temporary piling for construction of working platform for marine bored piling work by vibratory hammer through out the period of noise monitoring. In addition, the vibratory hammer was observed operating above the road level of IECL. On the other hand, the limit level exceedance recorded at M7e - International Finance Centre (Eastern End of Podium) on 15 November 2011 during day time during day time was due to drilling by drill rig and breaking works for D-wall construction in front of IFC without noise barrier and no abnormal work were observed during monitoring. Both exceedances recorded during day time noise monitoring was considered project related.
  3. An action level exceedance was recorded regarding a noise complaint received on 6 November 2011 in this reporting month.

 

  1. 24-hour real time noise monitoring was conducted at RTN1 - FEHD Hong Kong Transport Section Whitefield Depot for the pilling works in FEHD Whitfield Depot and RTN2 – Tunnel (North Point Section) and Island Eastern Corridor Link. No project related action and limit level exceedance was recorded in the reporting period.

 

Air Monitoring

  1. 1-hour and 24-hour Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) monitoring were conducted at CMA1b - Oil Street Community Liaison Centre; CMA2a - Causeway Bay Community Center; CMA3a - CWB PRE Site Office Area; CMA4a – Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; CMA5a - Children Garden opposite to Pedestrian Plaza; MA1e and MA1w – International Finance Centre eastern and western wing on every six days basis. No action and limit level exceedance were recorded in the reporting period. The monitoring station was recommenced at Oil Street Community Liaison Centre on 14 November 2011.

 

Complaints, Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

  1. There was two environmental complaints regarding construction noise received on 4 and 6 November 2011. No further complaint was received after follow-up action and investigation in this reporting month.

 

Site Inspections and Audit

  1. The Environmental Team (ET) conducted weekly site inspections for Contract no. HY/2009/15, HY/2009/17, HY/2009/18, HY/2009/19, HK/2009/01 and HK/2009/02 in this reporting period.

Section 10        Conclusion

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 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               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.        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.
