Complaints, Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

21. Two environmental complaints under FEP-05/364/2009/B were received in the reporting period.
22. A public complaint regarding water quality impact referred by RSS was received by ET on 17 December 2013 (ICC Case Ref.: 1-484998552 dated 17 December 2013). The complainant reported that workers of construction site HY/2010/08 were sweeping muddy water into the rain water drain and concerned about resulting pollution of habour. The complainant further follow-up and reported on 19 Dec 2013 that sandbags were placed out in the public area around the drain, these bags were outside of the site area and all preventive measures should have been carried out within the site. ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that the major construction activities around the concerned location conducted on 16 Dec 2013 a.m. include preparation work of root ball for tree transplanting.

According to the information provided by RSS, the construction activities around the concerned location on 16 Dec 2013 include preparation work of root ball for tree transplanting at Zone 17/18.

A further investigation on the complaint was conducted on 19 Dec 2013 during weekly environmental inspection. It was observed that a tree works area comprised of mainly loosen

soil was located near the concerned location. It was considered that the inclined surface and

loosen soil nature of the concerned works area could have led to the muddy surface runoff in rain. Deposition of muddy runoff onto nearby public pavement outside works area was hence resulted and was subsequently cleaned into nearby public stormwater drain by the Contractor’s workers on the complaint date. As such, the case was considered as works related. Sandbags, geotextile and gravels were immediately placed by the Contractor around the gullies at the concerned location to prevent leftover muddy runoff to the public stormwater drain as observed during the weekly inspection on 19 Dec 2013.

With respect to the follow-up raised by the complainant on 19 Dec 2013, sandbags, geotextile and gravels placed at gullies located at public area were removed by the Contractor on the same day for maintaining passable public pavement. Follow up measures including sandbag bundle and covering of works area with impervious sheeting was immediately placed at the source of impact at the concerned works area boundary by the Contractor.

23. A public complaint regarding air quality impact referred by RSS was received by ET on 24 December 2013 (ICC Case Ref.: 1-486434321 dated 24 December 2013). The complainant reported that the equipment used at the construction area next to Victoria Park Children Playground has generated a strong odour and large amount of dust particles which affect the public user of the Victoria Park. Upon further inquiry by ICC operator, the complainant further supplemented on 31 Dec 2013 that, he was annoyed by the smell and exhaust fumes emitted from machines/tools as well as dusty particles in the vicinity when he was sitting next to the toilet and Children Playground on the complaint date at about 1140 hrs.

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that the major construction activities around the concerned location conducted on 24 Dec 2013 include breaking up existing pillar box for new children playground Portion II, pressing of sheet pile at bowling green for ELS works Portion XII, welding work for preparation of sheet piling work at bowling green Portion VI, Demolition of existing pavilion for bowling green Portion VI and felling of tree TA50 at Victoria Park Zone 13. Mitigation measures implemented by the Contractor for the above construction works include water spraying for demolition and other dust generating works.

According to the relevant site records, breaking up of existing pillar box, pressing of sheet pile, welding work for preparation of sheet piling, demolition of existing pavilion and felling of tree TA50 at Victoria Park Zone 13 were conducted at the concerned location during the time of complaint. Based on information and photo record provided by the RSS, dust mitigation measures including water spraying during dust generating works were implemented by the Contractor at the concerned location on 24 Dec 2013.

Follow-up investigation was conducted on 27 Dec 2013 during weekly environmental inspection, dust mitigation measures including water spraying to dusty area and major dust generation works were confirmed in place despite a general reminder was given to the contractor to enhance the water spraying to dusty haul road during dry season. Based on on-going site inspection and the follow-up investigation, the site condition was considered generally satisfactory and no non-conformance was identified.

Upon further review on the supplementary information provided by the complainant on 31 Dec 2013 and investigation conducted on 2 Jan 2014, the tree felling work of tree TA50 was located nearest to the location of the complainant. According to the location plan provided by the RSS and on site investigation, the tree felling work for TA50 was immediately in front of the location of the complainant. Based on site observation, scrap material of bark and leaves inevitably generated from cutting of branches during tree felling work was considered to be the most probable cause for the observation raised by the complainant at the concerned location on 24 Dec 2013.Furthermore, welding work was observed near the concerned location and was considered to be the potential source for the smell and exhaust fumes as described by the complainant. Notwithstanding the above, welding work was not identified as a work activity with air quality impact under Project EIA report but it would be desirable to implement preventive measures to minimize potential nuisance to nearby public.

Site Inspections and Audit

24. The Environmental Team (ET) conducted weekly site inspections for Contract no. HY/2009/15, HY/2009/18, HY/2009/19, HY/2010/08, HK/2009/01, HK/2009/02, HK/2012/08 and HK/2010/06 in this reporting period. Construction of bored pile E3B under HY/2009/17 was confirmed completed and the respective work area under FEP was inspected under HY/2009/19 from 19 Dec 2012 onwards.

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.

Table 2.1 Schedule 2 Designated Projects under this Project

Item	Designated Project	EIAO Reference	Reason for inclusion

DP3	Reclamation works including associated dredging works	Schedule 2, Part I, C.1 and C.12	Reclamation more than 5 ha in size and a dredging operation less than 100 m from a seawater intake point
DP5	Wan Chai East Sewage Outfall	Schedule 2, Part I, F.5 and F.6	Submarine sewage pipelines with a total diameter more than 1,200 mm and include a submarine sewage outfall
DP6	Dredging for the Cross-harbour Water Mains from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui	Schedule 2, Part I, C.12	A dredging operation less than 100 m from a seawater intake point

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.

Noise Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

4.1.4. The construction noise level shall be measured in terms of the A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (L_eq). L_{eq (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, L_{eq (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.

4.1.5. 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.

4.1.6. 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.

4.1.7. 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

4.1.8. 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.

4.1.9. 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.

4.1.10. 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 Monitoring

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.. Appendix 4.1 shows the established Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

7 Cumulative Construction Impact due to the Concurrent Projects

7.0.1. According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-364/2009/B, 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 Monthly EM&A report (November 2013) of Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) for Contract HK 12/02, remaining footpath construction at Edinburgh Place were performed in the December 2013 reporting month. The water quality monitoring was completed in October 2011 and no Project-related exceedance was recorded for air and noise monitoring. It can be concluded that cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current projects with the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) was insignificant.

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 were marine works at HKCEC areas, cross-harbour Watermains, Fresh Watermains and Cooling Watermains Installations, tunnel works at Wan Chai East. The major construction activities under Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link Projects were ELS work and tunnel water proofing works at TS4 and cut and cover tunnel construction at TPCWAE. Bridge construction and tunnel works at Central Interchange, ELS segment launching works and IEC parapet demolition at North Point area. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at Causeway Bay and Wan Chai. Land-based construction activities were excavation at TS2, ELS work and tunnel water proofing works at TS4, cut and cover tunnel construction at TPCWAE, tunnel works at Central and ELS work at North Point and tunnel works at Wan Chai East in the reporting month.

7.0.4. The major environmental impacts generated from tunnel works at Central and tunnel works at Wan Chai East, IECL and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter were undertaken in the reporting month. No significant air impact from construction activities was anticipated in the reporting month. Besides, no project-related exceedances were recorded during the air and noise environmental monitoring events in the reporting month. Thus, it is evaluated that the cumulative construction impact from the concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II was insignificant.

9 Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution

26. Two environmental complaints under FEP-05/364/2009/B were received in the reporting period.
27. A public complaint regarding water quality impact referred by RSS was received by ET on 17 December 2013 (ICC Case Ref.: 1-484998552 dated 17 December 2013). The complainant reported that workers of construction site HY/2010/08 were sweeping muddy water into the rain water drain and concerned about resulting pollution of habour. The complainant further follow-up and reported on 19 Dec 2013 that sandbags were placed out in the public area around the drain, these bags were outside of the site area and all preventive measures should have been carried out within the site. ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that the major construction activities around the concerned location conducted on 16 Dec 2013 a.m. include preparation work of root ball for tree transplanting.

According to the information provided by RSS, the construction activities around the concerned location on 16 Dec 2013 include preparation work of root ball for tree transplanting at Zone 17/18.

A further investigation on the complaint was conducted on 19 Dec 2013 during weekly environmental inspection. It was observed that a tree works area comprised of mainly loosen

soil was located near the concerned location. It was considered that the inclined surface and

loosen soil nature of the concerned works area could have led to the muddy surface runoff in rain. Deposition of muddy runoff onto nearby public pavement outside works area was hence resulted and was subsequently cleaned into nearby public stormwater drain by the Contractor’s workers on the complaint date. As such, the case was considered as works related. Sandbags, geotextile and gravels were immediately placed by the Contractor around the gullies at the concerned location to prevent leftover muddy runoff to the public stormwater drain as observed during the weekly inspection on 19 Dec 2013.

With respect to the follow-up raised by the complainant on 19 Dec 2013, sandbags, geotextile and gravels placed at gullies located at public area were removed by the Contractor on the same day for maintaining passable public pavement. Follow up measures including sandbag bundle and covering of works area with impervious sheeting was immediately placed at the source of impact at the concerned works area boundary by the Contractor.

28. A public complaint regarding air quality impact referred by RSS was received by ET on 24 December 2013 (ICC Case Ref.: 1-486434321 dated 24 December 2013). The complainant reported that the equipment used at the construction area next to Victoria Park Children Playground has generated a strong odour and large amount of dust particles which affect the public user of the Victoria Park. Upon further inquiry by ICC operator, the complainant further supplemented on 31 Dec 2013 that, he was annoyed by the smell and exhaust fumes emitted from machines/tools as well as dusty particles in the vicinity when he was sitting next to the toilet and Children Playground on the complaint date at about 1140 hrs.

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that the major construction activities around the concerned location conducted on 24 Dec 2013 include breaking up existing pillar box for new children playground Portion II, pressing of sheet pile at bowling green for ELS works Portion XII, welding work for preparation of sheet piling work at bowling green Portion VI, Demolition of existing pavilion for bowling green Portion VI and felling of tree TA50 at Victoria Park Zone 13. Mitigation measures implemented by the Contractor for the above construction works include water spraying for demolition and other dust generating works.

According to the relevant site records, breaking up of existing pillar box, pressing of sheet pile, welding work for preparation of sheet piling, demolition of existing pavilion and felling of tree TA50 at Victoria Park Zone 13 were conducted at the concerned location during the time of complaint.Based on information and photo record provided by the RSS, dust mitigation measures including water spraying during dust generating works were implemented by the Contractor at the concerned location on 24 Dec 2013.

Follow-up investigation was conducted on 27 Dec 2013 during weekly environmental inspection, dust mitigation measures including water spraying to dusty area and major dust generation works were confirmed in place despite a general reminder was given to the contractor to enhance the water spraying to dusty haul road during dry season. Based on on-going site inspection and the follow-up investigation, the site condition was considered generally satisfactory and no non-conformance was identified.

Upon further review on the supplementary information provided by the complainant on 31 Dec 2013 and investigation conducted on 2 Jan 2014, the tree felling work of tree TA50 was located nearest to the location of the complainant. According to the location plan provided by the RSS and on site investigation, the tree felling work for TA50 was immediately in front of the location of the complainant. Based on site observation, scrap material of bark and leaves inevitably generated from cutting of branches during tree felling work was considered to be the most probable cause for the observation raised by the complainant at the concerned location on 24 Dec 2013.Furthermore, welding work was observed near the concerned location and was considered to be the potential source for the smell and exhaust fumes as described by the complainant. Notwithstanding the above, welding work was not identified as a work activity with air quality impact under Project EIA report but it would be desirable to implement preventive measures to minimize potential nuisance to nearby public.
