16. The hopper barge under Contract no. HY/2009/15 was trapped by a strong current and grounded on shallow rock clusters on 17 December 2010. Jettison of marine sediment (Type 1  Open Sea Disposal (Dedicate Sites) & Type 2   Confined Marine Disposal) in hopper barge at the scene of incident was needed in order to avoid capsizing of vessel. Contractor informed this incident to EPD on 18 December 2010.

17. The ballast tank on the port side of the split hopper barge under Contract no. HK/2009/01was flooded with water on 24 January 2011. It was towed back to the dredging zone within a short period and immediately opened its hopper to dump the sediment back to the same dredging trench. It is suspected that the hull on the port side might be broken causing ingress of seawater into the ballast tanks. Meanwhile, the barge has been demobilized from the site and currently anchored at To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter. The emergency dumping was notified to EPD on 24 January 2011 at 10:00a.m. This barge will not be deployed to the site under HK/2009/01 to dispose the dredged sediment until it has been repaired and inspected by the competent surveyor. These incidents will be kept in view for determining further follow up and remedial measures. All Contractors under EP-356/2009 were reminded to ensure the deployed hopper barge has been adequately checked by qualified person and ensured in good condition before the engagement on site.

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. 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.

5.4.2. Investigations were found that the most of exceedances are unikely related to the Project works except the SS and turbidity exceedances at C8 on 16 and 30 December 2010 at mid-flood tide, C6 on 7 February 2011 at mid-flood and mid-ebb tides and turbidity exceedances recorded at C5e, C5w and WSD21 on 11 February 2011 at mid-flood.

5.4.3. Exceedance at C8 on 16 and 30 December 2010 was recorded. Due to intake owner's constraint, delay was experienced in the re-provision of modified frame-type silt screen to protect City Garden intake against potential impact arising from the dredging works and accumulation of pollutants from nearby outfall adjacent to the intake. The exceedances were confirmed related to HY/2009/11 contractor difficulties in the provision of frame type silt screen. Contractor enhanced mitigation measures with a double layer silt curtain on 7 January 2011. No further exceedance was recorded after installation of double layer silt curtain. Close monitoring on contractor mitigation and the variation of water quality results will be maintained.

5.4.4. The turbidity exceedances were recorded at C5e, C5w and WSD21 on 11 Feb 2011 at mid-flood when the local buckling of western sheetpile temporary seawall at WCR1 was recorded in the morning of 11 February 2011. These exceedances were confirmed due to the buckling of western sheetpile temporary seawall. Contractor had immediately installed the additional silt curtain surround the location of buckling seawall on that day.

5.4.5. Turbidity and SS exceedances at C6 on 7 February 2011 at mid-flood and mid-ebb tides were recorded. Further investigation on 9 Feb 2011 revealed the crack on the silt screen at C6. A crack on silt screen structure leaded to ingress of unscreened polluted water directly to the intake created by frequent vessel movement on shallow water in Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. The exceedances were confirmed due to the silt screen defect.

5.5. Site Audit

5.5.1. There was no non-compliance from the site audits in the reporting period. During environmental site inspections conducted during the reporting quarter, minor deficiencies were noted. However, the Contractor rectified all deficiencies after receipt of notification.

5.6. Review of the Reasons for and the Implications of Non-compliance

5.6.1. No project-related non-compliance from monitoring was recorded in the reporting period.

5.7. Summary of action taken in the event of and follow-up on non-compliance

5.7.1. There was no particular action taken since no project-related non-compliance was recorded from the site audits and environmental monitoring in the reporting period.

6. Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution

6.0.1. There were two environmental complaints were received on 3 and 6 December 2010 in this reporting period. The complaint received on 3 December 2010 was regarding to the bad odour generated from the dredging plant off North Point. The noise nuisance and visual impact was complained on 6 December 2010 that was arisen from the 2 barges and spot light pointing directly to the complainant flat.  /span>

6.0.2. The complainant from City Garden complained on the bad odour from the dredging plant off North Point on 3 December 2010 at 01:45. Investigation of the backhoe barge at City garden conducted by ET with RE and Contractor of Contract HY/2009/11 was carried on 8 December 2010. No irritated odour was noted during the site investigation.

6.0.3. The noise and visual complaint was complained on 6 December 2010 by the complainant from the City Garden. It was complained on two barges generating noise at 22:00 on 6 December 2010 in which the noise from filling operation was louder than the traffic noise and visual impact generating due to the spot-light pointing directly to the complainant flat and suspected the filling operation was part of Wanchai Development Phase II. Complainant also raised the same complaint to District Councillor, Mr. Hui on 7 Dec 2010 regarding the night time noise and suspected earlier start of work at 06:30. Complaint also requested for limiting the plant operating hours from 09:00-21:00.

6.0.4. It was checked and confirmed that the two derrick barges were in operation at the time of complaint for placing 400 rockfill onto the excavation trench and for levelling the formation level to receive the pre-cast caisson seawall and flood light on the control mast of derrick barge have no lighting shields for the prevention of glare of flood lights causing visual glare to the complainant at night-time. Besides, construction works was started after 0800hrs on 7 December 2010. It was found that the occasional noise nuisance might be caused by the hitting or scratching onto the rock surface during loading down the grab onto the Grade 400 rockfill. Contractor was advised to minimize the finishing time of placing Grade 400 rockfill at 2100hrs and switch off all unnecessary floodlights apart from the light for the safety and security purpose.

6.0.5.  /span>The details of cumulative complaint log and summary of complaints are presented in Appendix 6.1.

6.0.6. No notification of summons or prosecution was received in the reporting period. Cumulative statistic on complaints and successful prosecutions are summarized in Table 6.1 and Table 6.2 respectively.

6.0.7. Incidents of split bottom hopper barge named Shun Tat 11 (Licence no. B21623V) were recorded near Kwai Shek (200-300m distance) under Contract no. HY/2009/15 on 17 December 2010 and at the location near Cross Harbour Water Mains marine work zone under Contract no. HK/2009/01 on 24 January 2011.

6.0.8. The hopper barge under Contract no. HY/2009/15 was trapped by a strong current and grounded on shallow rock clusters on 17 December 2010. Jettison of marine sediment (Type 1  Open Sea Disposal (Dedicate Sites) & Type 2  Confined Marine Disposal) in hopper barge at the scene of incident was needed in order to avoid capsizing of vessel. Contractor informed this incident to EPD on 18 December 2010.

6.0.9. The ballast tank on the port side of the split hopper barge under Contract no. HK/2009/01was flooded with water on 24 January 2011. It was towed back to the dredging zone within a short period and immediately opened its hopper to dump the sediment back to the same dredging trench. It is suspected that the hull on the port side might be broken causing ingress of seawater into the ballast tanks. Meanwhile, the barge has been demobilized from the site and currently anchored at To Kwa Wan Typhoon Shelter. The emergency dumping was notified to EPD on 24 January 2011 at 10:00a.m. This barge will not be deployed to the site under HK/2009/01 to dispose the dredged sediment until it has been repaired and inspected by the competent surveyor. These incidents will be kept in view for determining further follow up and remedial measures. All Contractors under EP-356/2009 were reminded to ensure the deployed hopper barge has been adequately checked by qualified person and ensured in good condition before the engagement on site.
