Section 8 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.

Noise Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration
3.1.2.
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.
3.1.3.
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.
3.1.4.
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.
3.1.5.
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.

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 Phase III,
Central-Wanchai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects.
7.0.2. According to the Final EM&A Report of Central Reclamation Phase III
(CRIII) for Contract HK 12/02, the major construction activities were completed
by end of January 2014 and no construction activities were undertaken
thereafter and 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
Central-Wanchai Bypass at Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III
area include road works, backfilling works and reinstatement of Culvert and
Cooling main were performed in February 2017 reporting month. As no project
related exceedance were recorded during the reporting period, cumulative
construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current projects
with the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) was considered as insignificant.
7.0.4.
