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.
The Project is located mainly in Wan Chai North,
Causeway Bay and North Point, and is demarcated by Gloucester Road and Victoria
Park Road to the south, Fenwick Pier Street to the west and Tong Shui Road
Interchange to the east, as shown in Figure 2.1.
2.2.2.
The study area encompasses existing developments along
the Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and North Point shorelines. Major land uses include
the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) Extension, the Wan
Chai Ferry Pier, the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area (ex-PCWA), the Royal
Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), the Police Officers' Club, the Causeway Bay
Typhoon Shelter (CBTS) and commercial and residential developments.
2.2.3.
The
scope of the Project comprises:
 -
Land formation for key
transport infrastructure and facilities, including the Trunk Road (i.e.
CWB) and the associated slip roads for connection to the Trunk Road and for through
traffic from Central to Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. The land formed for the above
transport infrastructure will provide opportunities for the development of an
attractive waterfront promenade for the enjoyment of the public
 -
Reprovisioning /
protection of the existing facilities and structures affected by the land
formation works mentioned above
 -
Extension, modification,
reprovisioning or protection of existing storm water drainage outfalls,
sewerage outfalls and watermains affected by the revised land use and land
formation works mentioned above
 -
Upgrading of hinterland
storm water drainage system and sewerage system, which would be rendered
insufficient by the land formation works mentioned above
 -
Provision of the ground
level roads, flyovers, footbridges, necessary transport facilities and the
associated utility services
 -
Construction of the new
waterfront promenade, landscape works and the associated utility services
 -
The
Trunk Road (i.e. CWB) within the study area and the associated slip roads for
connection to the Trunk Road.
2.2.4.
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 (FEP) 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
4.1.2.
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.
4.1.3.
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.
4.1.4.
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
4.1.5.
As referred to in the Technical Memorandum
(TM) 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.
4.1.6.
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.
4.1.7.
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.

construction phase. Marine water
quality monitoring for dissolved oxygen (DO), suspended solid (SS) and
turbidity is therefore recommended to be carried out at selected WSD flushing
water intakes. The impact monitoring
should be carried out during the proposed dredging works to ensure the
compliance with the water quality standards.
Water Quality Monitoring Stations
4.3.2.
It is proposed to monitor the water quality
at 9 WSD salt water intakes and 12 cooling water intakes along the seafront of
the Victoria Harbour. The proposed water quality monitoring stations of the
Project are shown in Table 4.3 and Figure 4.1. Appendix 4.1 shows the established
