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.

Air Monitoring Parameters, Frequency and Duration

3.2.2. One-hour and 24-hour TSP levels should be measured to indicate the impacts of construction dust on air quality. The 24-hour TSP levels shall be measured by following the standard high volume sampling method as set out in the Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1 (Part 50), Appendix B.

3.2.3. All relevant data including temperature, pressure, weather conditions, elapsed-time meter reading for the start and stop of the sampler, identification and weight of the filter paper, and any other local atmospheric factors affecting or affected by site conditions, etc., shall be recorded down in detail.

3.2.4. For regular impact monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least once in every six-days, shall be strictly observed at all the monitoring stations for 24-hour TSP monitoring. For 1-hour TSP monitoring, the sampling frequency of at least three times in every six-days should be undertaken when the highest dust impact occurs.

impact monitoring for odour patrol

3.2.5. Odour patrols along the shorelines of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter and ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area when there is temporary reclamation in Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter and/or in the ex-Wan Chai Public Cargo Working Area, or when there is dredging of the odorous sediment and slime at the south-western corner of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. Odour patrols will be carried out at bi-weekly intervals during July, August and September by a qualified person of the ET who shall:

 -         be at least 16 years of age;

 -         be free from any respiratory illnesses; and

 -         not be allowed to smoke, eat, drink (except water) or use chewing gum or sweets 30 min

 -         before and during odour patrol

3.2.6. Odour patrol shall be conducted by independent trained personnel / competent persons patrolling and sniffing around the shore as shown in Figure 3.1 to detect any odour at the concerned hours (afternoon is preferred for higher daily temperature).

3.2.7. The qualified person will use the nose (olfactory sensor) to sniff odours at different locations. The main odour emission sources and the areas to be affected by the odour nuisance will be identified.

3.2.8. The perceived odour intensity is to be divided into 5 levels which are ranked in the descending order as follows:

 -             0 - Not detected. No odour perceived or an odour so weak that it cannot be easily characterized or described;

 -             1 - Slight Identifiable odour, and slight chance to have odour nuisance;

 -             2 - Moderate Identifiable odour, and moderate chance to have odour nuisance;

 -             3 - Strong Identifiable, likely to have odour nuisance;

 -             4 - Extreme Severe odour, and unacceptable odour level.

3.2.9. The findings including odour intensity, odour nature and possible odour sources, and also the local wind speed and direction at each location will be recorded. In addition, some relevant meteorological and tidal data such as daily average temperature, and daily average humidity, on that surveyed day will be obtained from the Hong Kong Observatory Station for reference. The Action and Limit levels for odour patrol are shown in Appendix 3.1.

3.2.10. The qualified odour patrol member has individual n-butanol thresholds complied with the requirement of European Standard Method of Air Quality  Determination of Odour Concentration by Dynamic Olfactometry (EN13725) in the range of 20 to 80 ppb. The certificate for the qualified odour panel member is shown in Appendix 4.2.

3.3. Water Quality Monitoring

3.3.1. The EIA Report has identified that the key water quality impact would be associated with the dredging works during the 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

3.3.2. It is proposed to monitor the water quality at 9 WSD salt water intakes and 14 cooling water intakes along the seafront of the Victoria Harbour. The proposed water quality monitoring stations of the Project are shown in Table 3.4 and Figure 3.1. Appendix 3.1 shows the established Action/Limit Levels for the monitoring works.

Remarks: - 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.

6.4.1. All exceedances in Table 5.1 have been investigated and only the turbidity and/or SS exceedances recorded at C3 on 10 and 12 October and at C4w on 10 October 2011 were considered likely to be related to project works.

6.4.2. Checking with Contractor works, there were filling at HKCEC3W and rock bund filling works along the promenade deck which was carried out to facilitate subsequent sheet piling works on that day. The frame type silt screen at intake, frame type silt curtain for rock-filling and additional silt curtain along the promenade deck were deployed. Other than that, Contractor's daily records were checked. It shows silt curtains were deployed during filling works and both silt curtains were in proper condition in their daily inspection.

6.4.3. According to contractor provided information, same grade of filling materials were used for filling works during June to August 2011, no exceedance was recorded that was related to filling at that time. Nevertheless, Contractor was reminded to open the grab used for rock bund filling at lower level so as to avoid any loose materials spreading out of silt curtain and enter into the water body. Contractor has implemented the mitigation measures to replace the geotextile and add additional 20m long silt curtain at promenade deck on 13 Oct 2011 to minimize the water quality impact arising from the rock-filling. After reviewing the trend of water quality data, the remedial measures have function effectively and no further exceedance was recorded the week after the exceedance.

5.4.2. All exceedances in Table 5.1a have been investigated and were considered unlikely to be related to project works. The low DO levels were possible in relation to the low flow and recorded low water depth. In view that no odour nuisance was detected during monitoring, the DO exceedances were considered not related to the Project. With reference to the odour patrol results on 7 and 20 September 2011, the detected odour intensity at ex- WPCWA and Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter was found to be from level 0 up to level 1 which were below the Action Level. These DO exceedances were considered as the natural variation and not related to the Project works.

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.

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

5.6.1 The turbidity and/or SS exceedances recorded at C3 on 10 and 12 October and at C4w on 10 October 2011 were recorded when filling at HKCEC3W and rock bund filling works were conducted along the promenade deck on that day. Proper condition of the silt screens and silt curtains were deployed. Nevertheless, Contractor was reminded to open the grab used for rock bund filling at lower level so as to avoid any loose materials spreading out of silt curtain and enter into the water body.

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

5.7.1 When the project-related exceedances were recorded at C3 and C4w on 10 October and C3 on 12 October 2011, 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 rock filling works.

5.7.2 Contractor has implemented the mitigation measures to replace the geotextile near the water monitoring station C3 and add additional 20m long silt curtain at promenade deck on 13 Oct 2011 to minimize the water quality impact arising from the rock-filling. Diver inspection on the silt screen and silt curtain was conducted on 14 October 2011. After reviewing the trend of water quality data, the remedial measures have function effectively and no further exceedance was recorded the week after the Project-related exceedance.

6. Complaints, Notification of Summons and Prosecution

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

6.0.2. A water impact complaint was received by ET on 29 August 2011. It was complained by Mr. Au from Cayley Property Management Limited (CPML) that large amount of rubbishes were found at the harbour front adjacent to their cooling water intake suction which caused 3 times of system breakdown of the sea water pump on 9, 22 and 25 August 2011 after the contractors set up the temporary garbage defender in function and collect the floating refuses, but cannot eliminate all refuses, in particular the refuse coming from the seabed. An ad-hoc inspection of the effectiveness of garbage defender was conducted with RSS (CWB project team), contractors of HY/200911 and HY/2009/19, ET and IEC on 29 August 2011.

6.0.3. During on-site inspection, floating refuses were observed occasionally outside the garbage defender. No conclusion could be made for the source of these floating refuses. On the other hand, some of the refuses were observed floating behind the garbage defender during investigation. All daily cleaning actions had been taken by contractor to minimize floating refuse inside the construction site. It was noted that the cooling water intake was accessible to the public. As such, fish breeding and fishing activities were observed even though a notice has already hoisted. Also, tripping of rubbish by the passers-by could result in a lot of rubbish accumulated around the intake point. Referring to the record provided by CPML, there were a lot of nylon/ plastic bags and nylon wire mesh that matched those rubbishes generated from the public activities. The contractors were reminded to strengthen the communication with City Garden and no further complaint from complainant was received after proposed the mitigation measure.

6.0.4. The complainant, Ms. Tam complained via hotline 1823 about the polluted fumes and exhaust from the excavation by sub-contractor of CEDD on pedestrian way outside no.25 Harbour Road (in front of the Harbour Centre). RSS notified ET to carry out investigation on 17 October 2011.

6.0.5. The location of the excavator was within site area of Contract no. HK/2009/02 undertaking the water cooling main re-provision works along the Harbour Road. The plants including the excavator have been checked before using at the site. However, the polluted fumes and exhausted from the excavator was caused due to insufficient maintenance of the plant after using at site. After receiving the complaint, the excavator was then removal off-site for checking and maintenance works on 17 October 2011. Contractor was reminded to enhance regular checking and maintenance to all plants at site. RSS has replied to the complainant on the arrangement of the measures taken on 17 October 2011. Complainant was satisfied with the response and follow-up action taken by the Contractor.

6.0.6. The complainant, Mr. Liu from LCSD complained via Contractor Complaint Hotline on 4 November 2011 about a tree near the site of pipe installation works outside Wan Chai Swimming Pool at Harbour Road, the status is not healthy and roof ball of two trees inside the site near Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel at Convention Avenue were half cut.

6.0.7. A tree near the site of pipe installation works outside Wan Chai Swimming Pool at Harbour Road is confirmed that is the Tree no. TA1122 under Contract no. HK/2009/02. Leaves of a branch of this tree were shrivelled. Another two trees inside the site near Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel at Convention Avenue are the tree nos. A160 and A161 under Contract no. HK/2009/01. Part of roof ball of these two trees was covered by the metal plate.

6.0.8. Independent Tree Specialists for these two inspected the trees. Contractor HK/2009/01 has taken the measure as recommend downgrading the soil level around the trunk base. Reinstating of the ground works will be conducted in mid-December 2011. For the tree no. TA1122 under Contract no. HK/2009/02, the brown leaves were removed and fenced the tree with orange net is provided to prevent damage of tree trunk by construction works. The distance between the tree and the edge of the trench is kept approximate 2m. Two Contractors were reminded to carry out regular watering to the trees within their site area.

6.0.9. A noise complaint was received by Police Officer and a police officer arrived to Contract HK/2009/01 site at about 6:30 a.m. on 6 November 2011 to inspect noise generated from the site and stop the existed machines operation. The subcontractor for Diaphragm wall, SAMBO Korean foreman stopped the engine of the BC cutter immediately. The police officer recorded the details and HKID number of the foreman and then left. Due to the different language communication between the police officer and the Korean foreman, no CNP was checked by the police officer.

6.0.10. According to the information reported by Contractor, one BC cutter and a hoist were operated for inspecting all bentonite pipes were in good condition and all joints were tightened in good position for Diaphragm Wall construction of Shatin-Central Link. Due to insufficient communication between Contractor HK/2009/01 and their Korean Sub-contractor, Korean Sub-contractor had not notified to Contractor of HK/2009/01 and then started to carry out the inspection of the BC cutter, hoists and bentonite pipes at 6:00a.m to ensure no damages and all the pipe joints in good position.

6.0.11. As such, the Contractor HK/2009/01 was reminded to enhance the communication between Contractor and sub-contractor, and construction Noise Permit should be checked and in place for the construction works during restricted hour, plus providing environmental training to all foreman and operators on restricted hour operation.

6.0.12. The complaint was considered in relation to the construction works during restricted hours without valid Construction Noise Permit. No more construction works were conducted during night time period. The construction works will be conducted in accordance with the time period stated in valid CNP. This complaint will be kept in view of any follow-up action from the relevant government activities.

6.0.13. The details of cumulative complaint log and summary of complaints are presented in Appendix 6.1.

6.0.14. 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.

6.0.15. There was an incident of the leakage of Type III sediment Geosynthetic Container under Contract HK/2009/01 on 28 October 2011. 3 nos. of Type III geosynthetic container containing the Type III sediment dredged from Tsim Sha Tsui side of cross harbour watermains near the Avenue of Starts and Wan Chai Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) water channel were executed and disposed to East Sha Chau Contaminated Mud Disposal Site  Pit IVc. The preplaced PVC spheres were observed to be floating near the stern of the hopper barge after the geosynthetic containers were completely sunk into the sea.

6.0.16. Based on the investigation result, the suspected causal factors of the incident are listed below.

 -           The seaming work of the 3rd geosynthetic container was conducted at night time on 27 October 2011. Insufficient light might have affected the quality of seaming work.

 -           The anti-leakage component at the bottom gate of hopper barge might have interfered the geosynthetic container during dumping operation. The surface of geosynthetic container contacted the bottom edge closely while it was squeezed out through the bottom gate. The steel plate with bolts and nuts might have caused local damage to the geosynthetic container.

6.0.17. To prevent reoccurrence of the incident, Contractor HK/2009/01 has the following enhancements are recommended.

 -           To eliminate the potential risk of workmanship caused by insufficient light, all the seaming work of geosynthetic container will be carried out at day time (before 1800). Supervision will be enhanced by increasing checking frequency.

 -           To eliminate the potential risk of damaging the geosynthetic container during dumping operation, an additional steel rod to be welded on top of the steel plate for fixing rubber seal at bottom gate of hopper barge.

 -           Dumping operation of Type 3 sediment is suspended until investigation report and preventive measures are submitted and agreed by EPD.

6.0.18. A seawall blocks collapsing incident was occurred at Tunnel Section 4, TS4 (within TCBR1W) under Contractor of HY/2009/15 at around 8:45 on 17 November 2011. An immediate site inspection on the incident location was conducted at 11:30 on that day so as to assess the potential water quality impact with respect to the collapsed seawall and any further impact towards the nearby intake at Windsor House (C7). Initial recommendations were provided to RSS on the formulation of rectification plan to re-establish the seawall at on the same day. Contractor of HY/2009/15 was drawn attention about the incident, highlighting the concern on EP/FEP compliance and urged stop the filling operation.

6.0.19. After the incident occurred, double-layer silt curtain was then enclosed the collapse edge to limit the potential dispersion of the unprotected edge.  Grab dredger was immediately deployed to start removing the collapsed seawall blocks. Total 45 out of 62 seawall blocks were removal from seabed until 25 November 2011. The 24-hour turbidity monitoring data and daily SS monitoring at C7 on the incident date onwards were reviewed and no immediate impact on water quality was observed from the data trend. The details of the data trend are enclosed in Appendix 4.3.  /span>

6.0.20. It is anticipated that the removal of collapsed seawall blocks will be completed and a detailed diver inspection together with independent hydrographic survey will be conducted in December 2011. Follow-up action will be taken and reported in the coming Monthly EM&A reports.

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 at Reclamation Shoreline Sub-zones under Wan Chai Development Phase II were the filling works at NPR2E and HKCEC1, dredging and filling at HKCEC3w, dredging at submarine sewage pipelines, seawall block construction at TCBR1W, maintenance dredging of navigation channel and mooring area, HKCEC3w and marine bored piling at MTR Tunnel Crossing in the reporting quarter. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at North Point, Causeway Bay 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 only located in the HKCEC water channel in relation to the rock filling operation causing exceedances in HKCEC water channel in this reporting quarter. 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.

8. Conclusion

8.0.1. The EM&A programme was carried out in accordance with the EM&A Manual requirements, minor alterations to the programme proposed were made in response to changing circumstances.

8.0.2. No non-compliances were noted and no prosecutions were received during the reporting quarter.

8.0.3. The construction programmes of individual contracts are provided in Appendix 8.1.
