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 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.

Remarks: - Considering the absence of intake pump operation at Windsor House intake (C7), this sensitive receiver was apparently not exist during this period so that no water quality monitoring at C7 for compliance checking was undertaken in this reporting quarter.

- The cessation of seawater intake operation for C6 was confirmed on 17 May 2011, the water monitoring at C6 was then terminated since 17 May 2011.

Water Quality Parameters and frequency

3.3.3. Monitoring of dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity and suspended solids (SS) shall be carried out at WSD flushing water intakes and cooling water intakes. DO and Turbidity are measured in-situ while SS is determined in laboratory.

3.3.4. In association with the water quality parameters, other relevant data shall also be measured, such as monitoring location/position, time, sampling depth, water temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation, weather conditions, sea conditions, tidal stage, and any special phenomena and work underway at the construction site etc.

3.3.5. The interval between two sets of monitoring should not be less than 36 hours except where there are exceedances of Action and/or Limit Levels, in which case the monitoring frequency will be increased. Table 3.5 shows the proposed monitoring frequency and water quality parameters. Duplicate in-situ measurements and water sampling should be carried out in each sampling event. For selection of tides for in-situ measurement and water sampling, tidal range of individual flood and ebb tides should be not less than 0.5m.

Table 3.5 Marine Water Quality Monitoring Frequency and Parameters

Activities	Monitoring Frequency^1	Parameters^2
During the 4-week baseline monitoring period	Three days per week, at mid-flood and mid-ebb tides	Turbidity, Suspended Solids (SS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH, Temperature, Salinity

Remarks: - It was not included the exceedances recorded at C3 in the daily monitoring from 17 May to 27 May 2011.

- The cessation of seawater intake operation for C6 was confirmed on 17 May 2011, the water monitoring at C6 was then terminated since 17 May 2011.

- Considering the absence of intake pump operation at Windsor House intake (C7), this sensitive receiver was apparently not exist during this period so that no water quality monitoring at C7 for compliance checking was undertaken in this reporting quarter.

5.3.2. Investigations were found that the most of exceedances are not related to the Project works. The exceedances of turbidity and SS level at C3 recorded on 31 March and 18 April 2011 might potentially relate to the filling operation and insufficient silt screen maintenance.

5.3.3. Apart from the exceedances record at C3 on 31 March and 18 April 2011, the SS and turbidity exceedances at C3 recorded on 5 and 7 May 2011 were caused by silt screen defect and improper maintenance of deployed silt curtain as identified during regular site inspections. In additional, the exceedances at C3 on 16, 18 and 19 May 2011 were caused by improper control and management of deployed silt curtain as identified during site inspections and monitoring.

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.

5.4.2. An incident on dispersed muddy boom was observed by the IEC on 1 April 2011 in the area between outside the government helipad and eastern temporary seawall at WCR1. Silt curtain at the breakwater of TPCWA was maintained while the silt curtain for the reclamation shoreline subzone at TPCWAE was opened at the time of observation and some localized muddy boom at TPCWA was observed. Further investigation by ET revealed that:

 -           Muddy discharge from unknown source generated from the existing Box Culvert N was considered to be the major cause, possibly due to local discharge from unknown source at the stormdrain upstream to Box Culvert N. Muddy boom was further dispersed by current movement outside the government helipad.

 -           Localized mud plume emerged within the ex-Cargo area was not properly enclosed by silt curtain producing some minor impact around the breakwater at TPCWA.

 -           Defects found for the silt curtains deployed in TPCWAE reduced the effectiveness of the silt curtain system.

5.4.3. Contractor of HY/2009/15 was urged to rectify the defects found for the silt curtains. Further independent diver inspection on the silt curtain on 14 Apr 2011 confirmed the silt curtain was in proper condition. Silt curtain deployment plan was subsequently revised to include specific details on the marine access for TPCWAE. No further dispersion was observed after a week's operation and this case was closed.

5.4.4.  /span>Frequent muddy boom dispersion were observed around the marine entrance to the TPCWA on 2, 5 & 6 April 2011, resulting in escape of muddy boom through the marine access of the ex-Cargo Area. Further investigation by ET revealed that escape of silt from the filling area at TPCWA eventually lead to frequent dispersion of muddy boom by routine towing action. Filling operation was immediately suspended by contractor of HY/2009/15 for review of silt curtain and towing operation. Site trial towing was conducted on 14 Apr 2011 and found that a reduced towing speed of 0.5 nautical miles per hour could control the dispersion of muddy boom within the area enclosed by silt curtain. No further dispersion was observed after a week's operation and this case was closed.

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

5.6.1. There was no non-compliance from the site audits in the reporting period.

5.6.2. There were exceedances of turbidity and/or SS level recorded at C3 on 5, 7, 16, 18 and 19 May 2011 that were considered in relation to the deployed silt screen and silt curtain as identified during the site inspection and monitoring.

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

5.7.2. When the exceedance was recorded during water quality monitoring, repeated in-situ measurement and additional turbidity measurement were immediately taken outside the silt screen when the Action Level or Limit Level exceedance was recorded inside the silt screen for checking of relation from the filling works. Diver inspection on the silt screen and silt curtain was conducted on 5 May 2011. The maintenance works of geotextile was then conducted on 6 and 7 May 2011. Additional silt curtains have been installed in HKCEC water channel on 7 May 2011.

5.7.3. In response to further recorded exceedances at water monitoring station C3, the frequency of water quality monitoring has been increased to daily from 17 May 2011 so as to keep in view of any further deterioration of water quality in water channel. Filling operation was then suspended from 19 May 2011 morning until 23 May 2011 morning.

5.7.4. A discharge pipe for HKCEC was discovered located in between the C3 intake inlets and inside the silt screen by Contractor on 24 May 2011. A site investigation with ARE and SIOW from AACL, ET, IEC, Contractor and stakeholder was conducted on 27 May 2011 to confirm the location of the discharge pipe. The monitoring frequency was then resumed to normal monitoring frequency on 27 May 2011. The diversion of the discharge pipe is under liaison with stakeholder.

6. Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution

6.0.1. There were two environmental complaints received in this quarter.

6.0.2. Dust impact and mosquitoes breeding complaint from Government Complaint Hotline ICC direct referral (ICC#1- 281451236) was received by ET on 18 April 2011. The complaint was reported by the resident, Mr Law at Victoria Centre that dust generated at 10:04 on 15 April in which suspected the filling operation was part of North Point Reclamation.

6.0.3. The concerned stockpile was a working stockpile and was covered at night time after work. Water spraying on the haul road and potential dust generating material at least 4 times a day was conducted by contractor that complies with the requirement. It is considered invalid but preventive actions can be taken because the stockpile is relatively large and easily visible by complainant. The concern of mosquitoes breeding is not under the scope of EM&A, the follow-up action are not reported in this EM&A report.

6.0.4. Another complaint was reported from a resident, Ms Chiu at Victoria Centre via the Government Complaint Hotline ICC direct referral (ICC# 1-272874759) regarding the episode of night noise on 19 and 20 April 2011 at 2:50 am and the noise lasted for 30 minutes per night. According to the RSS’s record, there was no construction works undertaken under the EP-356/2009 during the concern time period. Besides, there was no abnormal real-time noise monitoring data recorded in RTN1 - FEHD Hong Kong Transport Section Whitefield Depot which is next to the Victoria Centre. As such, it is considered as invalid complaint under this Project.

6.0.5. 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.

7. Cumulative Construction Impact due to the Concurrent Projects

7.0.1. According to Condition 3.4 of the EP-356/2009, this section addresses the relevant cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current projects including the Central Reclamation, Central-WanChai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects.

7.0.2. According to the construction programme of Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects, the major construction activities under Wan Chai Development Phase II were the filling works at North Point Reclamation Shoreline Subzone (NPR2E) and (NPR1& NPR2W), the filling at WCR1 and dredging at Wan Chai Reclamation Shoreline Subzone (Submarine sewage pipeline) respectively, filling at HKCEC1 and dredging at TCBR and filling at TPCEAE, and the dredging works at MTR Tunnel Crossing in the quarter. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at North Point and Wan Chai.

7.0.3. The major environmental impacts generated from the filling work at Central Reclamation Phase III were only located along the coastline of Central and Admiralty while the adverse water impact was located in the HKCEC water channel in relation to the filling operation causing exceedances at station C3 in this reporting quater. Other than the exceedances recorded at C3, it was concluded not related to the Project works. Thus, it was unlikely to have cumulative impact from CRIII. It is evaluated the cumulative construction impact from the concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II and Central Reclamation Phase III was insignificant.
