Complaints, Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

  1. Three environmental complaints were received in the reporting month.

 

  1. First public complaint regarding construction dust impact referred by EPD was received by ET on 01 June 2015 (EPD Ref.:H05/RS/00013254-15 dated   1 June 2015). The complainant reported that vehicle with plate no. TG2426 was found leaving the construction site at gate V2 near Expo Drive Central without wheel-washed at about 10:33hrs on 29 May 2015. The complainant also alleged that water spraying at the gates V2 and V3 near Expo Drive Central was insufficient causing dust nuisance to the public.

 

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that on 29 May 2015, vehicle record indicated that concerned vehicle TG 2426 has entered and exited the construction site via gate V3. Mitigation measures adopted by the Contractor of HK/2009/01 at the above locations include, water hose was provided for wheel washing at Gate V2 and Gate V3.

 

According to the relevant site records under Contract HK/2009/01, vehicle record indicated that concerned vehicle TG 2426 has entered and exited the construction site via gate V3 on 29 May 2015 under Contract HK/2009/01. As confirmed by WDII RSS, the concerned construction site Gate V2 and Gate V3 have been closed from 31 May 2015 and formed part of the construction site area. Follow up inspection was conducted on 3 June 2015 during weekly environmental inspection and mitigation measures including wheel washing were implemented at construction exit gates around the concerned location despite a vehicle was observed leaving the construction site via Gate V8 without wheel washing. The Contractor was immediately advised to review and strengthen the control measures for vehicle exits to ensure wheel washing are provided for exiting vehicles.

 

In view of the public concern and the site observation, the Contractor of HK/2009/01 has implemented enhanced site exit control measures using red string to alert drivers to stop their vehicles for cleaning before leaving the construction site and wheel washing facilities including water hose were implemented at Gate V1 and Gate V10 around the concerned location and the vehicle gate V8 was subsequently closed. In addition, removal of spoil arising from wheel washing around site exit location would be conducted by the Contractor of HK/2009/01 as appropriate to alleviate for potential dust impact at construction site exits.

 

  1. Second public complaint regarding construction noise impact referred by EPD was received by ET on 8 June 2015 (EPD Ref.:H05/RS/00013843-15 dated 8 June 2015). The complainant reported that construction noise was generated from the construction site of Contract HK/2012/08 at location outside Fleet Arcade during restricted hours including Sundays and General Holidays.

 

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that from 08:00hrs to 18:00hrs on 31 May 2015 (Sunday), construction work including steel welding was conducted under Contract HK/2012/08 at site portion zone A1 opposite to Fleet Arcade. Total one welding machine was in operation.

 

According to the relevant site records under Contract HK/2012/08, from 08:00hrs to 18:00hrs on 31 May 2015 (Sunday), construction work including steel welding was conducted under Contract HK/2012/08 site portion zone A1 opposite to Fleet Arcade. Total one welding machine was in operation and the relevant Construction Noise Permit GW-RS0296-15 was confirmed in place. The construction activity conducted under Contract HK/2012/08 during the concerned period was in compliance with the statutory requirement.  Ad-hoc inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 9 June 2015 and it was noted that Construction Noise Permits under Contract HK/2012/08 were posted at site entrance locations for public inspection. In view of the potential noise nuisance, the Contractor was reminded to upkeep the site control system for construction works carrying out at restricted hours and night time for Construction Noise Permit compliance. Besides, other construction sites at the concerned location were observed.

 

Furthermore, a meeting was held on 15 June 2015 between the EPD, Contractor of HK/2012/08, WDII RSS team and the Environmental Team on the public concern and the Contractor of HK/2012/08 has committed to review the re-application for the Construction Noise Permits GW-RS0223-15 and GW-RS0296-15 on usage of PMEs at a portion of site area outside the Fleet Arcade during public holiday including Sundays to minimize for the potential noise nuisance to nearby public.

 

  1. Third public complaint regarding dark smoke and malodour concern referred by EPD was received by ET on 22 June 2015 (EPD Ref.: H05/RS/00015054-15 dated 22 June 2015). The complainant reported that dark smoke and malodour emission was observed from a hopper barge moored near shore and other construction plants under operation from the reclamation construction site with Contract no. HK/2009/02 at location outside Wan Chai Sports Ground caused air pollution. The complainant alleged that the said situation had been observed for a prolonged period.

 

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that reinforced bar fixing and concreting work (on 17 June 2015 only) were conducted at Portion 2 from 15 June 2015 to 19 June 2015. Total 3 nos. of mobile crane were in operation. On 17 June 2015, one no. of concrete pump truck and two nos. of concrete mixer were in operation. Excavation and Lateral Support was conducted at Portions 3 & 4 from 15 June 2015 to 19 June 2015. Total 4 nos. of excavator, 2 nos. of truck and 2 nos. of crawler crane were in operation. In addition, on 15 June 2015, 17 June 2015 and 19 June 2015, 1 no. of derrick barge was moored near Portions 3 & 4 for transportation of the excavated material away from site.

 

According to the relevant site records under Contract HK/2009/02, from 15 June 2015 to 19 June 2015, reinforced bar fixing and concreting work (on 17 June 2015 only) were conducted at Portion 2 and total 3 nos. of mobile crane, one no. of concrete pump truck (on 17 June 2015 only) and two nos. of concrete mixer (on 17 June 2015 only) were in operation; excavation and lateral support was conducted at Portions 3 & 4 and total 4 nos. of excavator, 2 nos. of truck and 2 nos. of crawler crane were in operation. Based on relevant site record, no hopper barge was moored under Contract HK/2009/02 around the concerned location while 1 no. of derrick barge was moored under Contract HK/2009/02 near Portions 3 & 4 for transportation of the excavated material from Portions 3 & 4 away from site on 15 June 2015, 17 June 2015 and 19 June 2015 respectively.

 

Follow-up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 25 June 2015, no dark smoke and malodour emission was observed from the PMEs operating on-site. A derrick barge was observed moored near Portions 3 & 4 and excavated material was transferred to the derrick barge by the excavators on land without barge operation and no particular dark smoke and malodour emission was observed. Nevertheless, the Contractor was reminded to conduct regular checking on the condition of the derrick barge and other PMEs deployed on site to ensure only well maintained PMEs are used to avoid potential dark smoke and maldour emission affecting nearby public.

2      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 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.

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.
