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
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
2.2.1.
Design and Construction of Central  Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link under the Project involves the construction and operation of a
trunk road and its road tunnel more than 800m in length between portals that is
shown at Figure 2.1.
2.2.2.
The study area encompasses existing developments from Central to North Point. The scope of the Central-Wanchai
Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern Corridor Link (IECL) includes:
 -
A dual
three-lane trunk road, approximately 4.5 km in length, and tunnel approximately
3.7 km in length defined from the connection with the existing Rumsey Street
Flyover in Central, through to a connection with the existing Island Eastern
Corridor to the east of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter (CBTS);
 -
The
Central Interchange near the Rumsey Street Flyover to provide road connections
to the Central area;
 -
Tunnel
control buildings and ventilation buildings;
 -
Slip
roads to connect the CWB to the local road system in the Wan Chai North and
 -
Associated
road lighting, road signing, traffic control and surveillance system; and
 -
Other
associated works.
2.2.3.
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 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
3.1.3.
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.
3.1.4.
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.
3.1.5.
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.
 -
One set of measurements between 1900
and 2300 hours on normal weekdays and 0700 and 2300 hours on public holidays.
 -
One set of measurements between 2300
and 0700 hours on next day on everyday.
3.1.6.
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

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.
3.1.8.
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.
3.1.9.
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.

According to
Condition 3.4 of the EP-364/2009/A, this section addresses the relevant
cumulative construction impact due to the concurrent activities of the current
projects including the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII), Wan Chai
Development Phase II (WWDII), Central-WanChai Bypass (CWB) and Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects (IECL).
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
activity under Wan Chai Development Phase II was the filling works at North
Point Reclamation Stage 1(NPR1), dredging works and filling works at Wan Chai
Reclamation Stage 1(WCR1), Advanced piling works at FEHD Whitfield Depot, Central
Interchange, cross-harbour water mains and marine pre-drilling in the reporting
period. The major environmental impact was water quality impact at North Point
and Wan Chai. Land-based construction activity was only advance piling works at
FEHD Whitfield Depot, sheet piling and
pre-drilling works at Central, pre drilling at North Point in the reporting period
and tunnel works at Wan Chai East.
7.0.3.
The major environmental
impacts generated from the Central Reclamation Phase III were located along the
coastline of Central and Admiralty while advanced piling works at FEHD Whitfield Depot were undertaken and sheet piling, pre-drilling works at Central and tunnel works at Wan Chai East in the reporting period. No significant air, noise
impact were anticipated in the reporting period. Besides, no environmental
monitoring exceedance was recorded from the Project in the reporting period. Thus, it is evaluated that the cumulative
construction impact from the concurrent projects including Wan Chai Development
Phase II and Central Reclamation Phase III was insignificant.
