Complaints, Notifications of Summons and Successful Prosecutions

23. Six environmental complaints were received in the reporting quarter.

24. First public complaint regarding construction dust impact referred by EPD was received by ET on 04 December 2015 (EPD Ref: H04/RS/00028924-15). The complainant reported that excessive construction dust was generated from the construction site near Two International Finance Centre at Finance Street, Central

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that bridge works and drains/ sewers construction at the concerned location was undertaken by Contract HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015. A stockpile which would be reused for backfilling was stored at the concerned location by Contract HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015.

Mitigation measures implemented by the Contractor for the above construction works including covering of idled portion of stockpile and dampening of the exposed stockpile was implemented for the stockpile at the concerned location.

According to relevant site records confirmed by RSS, bridge works and drains/ sewers construction at the concerned location was undertaken by Contractor of HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015 and a stockpile which would be reused for backfilling was stored at the concerned location. Mitigation measures including covering of idled portion of stockpile and dampening of the exposed stockpile was implemented for the stockpile at the concerned location.

In view of the public concern on potential dust impact at the concerned location, the Contractor of HY/2009/18 rearranged the works sequence and placed concrete blocks at the bridge retaining wall to allow for early commencement of backfilling on 19 November 2015 to minimize the size of the stockpile at an earlier stage. Additional water sprinklers were installed on 27 November 2015 to further enhance the dampening of the stockpile surface during excavation.

Follow-up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 10 December 2015 and mitigation measures including covering of stockpile stored at the concerned location was implemented while it was observed that stockpiles stored near Man Chiu Street was not properly covered. The Contractor of HY/2009/18 was advised to promptly provide covering to all idled stockpile stored on site and the Contractor was reminded to enhance the watering during excavated material handling near the concerned location. Further follow up inspection was conducted on 17 December 2015 and mitigation measures including covering and watering for idle stockpile and material handling were implemented.

25. Second public complaint regarding noise impact referred by RSS was received by ET on 16 December 2015 (ICC Case Ref.: 2-1656689815 dated 14 December 2015). The complainant reported that incessant noise emanating from the construction site of the Island Eastern Corridor Link that forms part of the Central-Wanchai Bypass Project.

Over the past couple of weeks, there have been loud mechanical pounding at the construction site over the reclaimed area between Blocks 10 and 11 of City Garden. As can be seen, machines have been breaking open the concrete paved on top of the reclaimed area. Work often starts well before 9am on weekdays and, barring a brief period of lull during lunch hours, would often continue unabated until after 5pm. Although I note that certain noise reduction measures have been put into place (e.g. the erection of flimsy noise barriers around the work area), the noise created is still enormous, and this has become a significant nuisance for residents living in nearby blocks of our estate, especially children and the elderly who have to stay at home for longer hours.

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that concreting breaking works was carried out with one breaker on 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 December 2015 and the breaking works at the concerned location were completed on 14 December 2015 morning. Noise mitigation measures including temporary noise barriers near the point of breaking and covering the breaker with acoustic mat were provided during the concerned concrete breaking works.

According to information confirmed by RSS, concreting breaking works was carried out by one excavator mounted breaker on 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 December 2015 and the concerned breaking works outside City Garden Block 10 and Block 11 was completed on 14 December 2015 morning. Noise mitigation measures including temporary noise barriers near the point of breaking and covering the breaker with acoustic mat were provided during the concerned concrete breaking works. Based on the further review on the record of the environmental inspection conducted on 09 December 2015, the Contractor of HY/2009/19 was reminded to temporary noise barrier provided for the pile cap demolition shall follow the Environmental Permit EP-364/2009/D requirement.

Follow up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 17 December 2015, the concerned breaking works opposite to City Garden Block 10 and Block 11 was observed completed while the Contractor was reminded that the remaining section of temporary noise barrier in accordance with the latest Environmental Permit EP-364/2009/D shall be completed on site as soon as possible. According to the information provided by RSS, the temporary noise barrier in accordance with the Environmental Permit requirement opposite to City Garden was substantially completed on 21 December 2015. In view of the public concern, the Contractor was suggested to consider to review the works duration at daytime and conduct other future breaking works around the concerned location intermittently to minimize the potential noise nuisance caused to the surroundings.

Referring to the complaint case regarding the illegal disposal of construction waste referred by EPD was received by ET on 17 November 2015, the updated 2nd and 3rd interim investigation report were submitted to the EPD on 17 December 2015 and 31 December 2015 respectively. In response to the complaint concern, additional water quality monitoring and additional site inspections have been conducted by the ET and the investigation findings were included in the interim investigation reports separately submitted to the EPD. In addition, the ET and IEC have conducted checking on the waste disposal records and site construction records with the CWB RSS team to confirm the key construction activities during the concerned period and the quantities of inert C&D material disposed. Upon further review on relevant records and follow up inspections on the implementation of site measures, the final investigation would be issued.

26. Third public complaint regarding construction noise referred by EPD was received by ET on 14 January 2016 (EPD Ref.: H05/RS/00000570-16 dated 14 January 2016). The complainant reported that there was operation of powered mechanical equipment at the construction site near Lung King Street after 1900hrs. (Contract HK/2012/08)

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that from 1900hrs to 2115hrs on 06 January 2016, shifting of equipment and socket H-pile casing was undertaken by the Contractor of HK/2012/08 at the concerned location. Total one crawler crane was in operation.

According to the relevant site records provided by RSS, shifting of equipment and socket H-pile casing was undertaken by the Contractor of HK/2012/08 at the concerned location from 1900hrs to 2115hrs on 06 January 2016. Total one crawler crane was in operation and the relevant Construction Noise Permit GW-RS0976-15 for the concerned operation was confirmed in place. Based on the above, the construction activities conducted under Contract HK/2012/08 on 06 January 2016 after 1900hrs was in compliance with the statutory requirement. Nevertheless, the Contractor was reminded to upkeep the site control system for construction works carried out during restricted hours and night time for Construction Noise Permit compliance in view of the nearby public concern.

27. Fourth public complaint regarding the subject matter on blocked drainage were referred by RSS was received by ET on 19 January 2016 (ICC Ref.: #2-1754682833 and ICC Ref: #2-1759629742). The first ICC complainant (ICC Ref.: #2-1754682833) on 11 January 2016 reported that the drainage at Hung Hing Road, Causeway Bay near the entrance of Cross Harbour Tunnel was blocked and sewage was overflowing from the sewer. The first complainant on 13 January 2016 enquired the status of follow-up, the complainant reported that the sewage overflow was severe and pose environmental hygiene concern to the surroundings. The first complainant on 14 January 2016 reported that the situation was not improved and would escalate the case if not addressed.

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. 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 Causeway Bay area;

· 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.

6.0.1. Six environmental complaints were received in the reporting period.

6.0.2. First public complaint regarding construction dust impact referred by EPD was received by ET on 04 December 2015 (EPD Ref: H04/RS/00028924-15). The complainant reported that excessive construction dust was generated from the construction site near Two International Finance Centre at Finance Street, Central

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that bridge works and drains/ sewers construction at the concerned location was undertaken by Contract HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015. A stockpile which would be reused for backfilling was stored at the concerned location by Contract HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015.

Mitigation measures implemented by the Contractor for the above construction works including covering of idled portion of stockpile and dampening of the exposed stockpile was implemented for the stockpile at the concerned location.

According to relevant site records confirmed by RSS, bridge works and drains/ sewers construction at the concerned location was undertaken by Contractor of HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015 and a stockpile which would be reused for backfilling was stored at the concerned location. Mitigation measures including covering of idled portion of stockpile and dampening of the exposed stockpile was implemented for the stockpile at the concerned location.

In view of the public concern on potential dust impact at the concerned location, the Contractor of HY/2009/18 rearranged the works sequence and placed concrete blocks at the bridge retaining wall to allow for early commencement of backfilling on 19 November 2015 to minimize the size of the stockpile at an earlier stage. Additional water sprinklers were installed on 27 November 2015 to further enhance the dampening of the stockpile surface during excavation.

Follow-up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 10 December 2015 and mitigation measures including covering of stockpile stored at the concerned location was implemented while it was observed that stockpiles stored near Man Chiu Street was not properly covered. The Contractor of HY/2009/18 was advised to promptly provide covering to all idled stockpile stored on site and the Contractor was reminded to enhance the watering during excavated material handling near the concerned location. Further follow up inspection was conducted on 17 December 2015 and mitigation measures including covering and watering for idle stockpile and material handling were implemented.

6.0.3. Second public complaint regarding noise impact referred by RSS was received by ET on 16 December 2015 (ICC Case Ref.: 2-1656689815 dated 14 December 2015). The complainant reported that incessant noise emanating from the construction site of the Island Eastern Corridor Link that forms part of the Central-Wanchai Bypass Project.

Over the past couple of weeks, there have been loud mechanical pounding at the construction site over the reclaimed area between Blocks 10 and 11 of City Garden. As can be seen, machines have been breaking open the concrete paved on top of the reclaimed area. Work often starts well before 9am on weekdays and, barring a brief period of lull during lunch hours, would often continue unabated until after 5pm. Although I note that certain noise reduction measures have been put into place (e.g. the erection of flimsy noise barriers around the work area), the noise created is still enormous, and this has become a significant nuisance for residents living in nearby blocks of our estate, especially children and the elderly who have to stay at home for longer hours.

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that concreting breaking works was carried out with one breaker on 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 December 2015 and the breaking works at the concerned location were completed on 14 December 2015 morning. Noise mitigation measures including temporary noise barriers near the point of breaking and covering the breaker with acoustic mat were provided during the concerned concrete breaking works.

According to information confirmed by RSS, concreting breaking works was carried out by one excavator mounted breaker on 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 December 2015 and the concerned breaking works outside City Garden Block 10 and Block 11 was completed on 14 December 2015 morning. Noise mitigation measures including temporary noise barriers near the point of breaking and covering the breaker with acoustic mat were provided during the concerned concrete breaking works. Based on the further review on the record of the environmental inspection conducted on 09 December 2015, the Contractor of HY/2009/19 was reminded to temporary noise barrier provided for the pile cap demolition shall follow the Environmental Permit EP-364/2009/D requirement.

Follow up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 17 December 2015, the concerned breaking works opposite to City Garden Block 10 and Block 11 was observed completed while the Contractor was reminded that the remaining section of temporary noise barrier in accordance with the latest Environmental Permit EP-364/2009/D shall be completed on site as soon as possible. According to the information provided by RSS, the temporary noise barrier in accordance with the Environmental Permit requirement opposite to City Garden was substantially completed on 21 December 2015. In view of the public concern, the Contractor was suggested to consider to review the works duration at daytime and conduct other future breaking works around the concerned location intermittently to minimize the potential noise nuisance caused to the surroundings.

Referring to the complaint case regarding the illegal disposal of construction waste referred by EPD was received by ET on 17 November 2015, the updated 2nd and 3rd interim investigation report were submitted to the EPD on 17 December 2015 and 31 December 2015 respectively. In response to the complaint concern, additional water quality monitoring and additional site inspections have been conducted by the ET and the investigation findings were included in the interim investigation reports separately submitted to the EPD. In addition, the ET and IEC have conducted checking on the waste disposal records and site construction records with the CWB RSS team to confirm the key construction activities during the concerned period and the quantities of inert C&D material disposed. Upon further review on relevant records and follow up inspections on the implementation of site measures, the final investigation would be issued.

6.0.4. Third public complaint regarding construction noise referred by EPD was received by ET on 14 January 2016 (EPD Ref.: H05/RS/00000570-16 dated 14 January 2016). The complainant reported that there was operation of powered mechanical equipment at the construction site near Lung King Street after 1900hrs. (Contract HK/2012/08)

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that from 1900hrs to 2115hrs on 06 January 2016, shifting of equipment and socket H-pile casing was undertaken by the Contractor of HK/2012/08 at the concerned location. Total one crawler crane was in operation.

According to the relevant site records provided by RSS, shifting of equipment and socket H-pile casing was undertaken by the Contractor of HK/2012/08 at the concerned location from 1900hrs to 2115hrs on 06 January 2016. Total one crawler crane was in operation and the relevant Construction Noise Permit GW-RS0976-15 for the concerned operation was confirmed in place. Based on the above, the construction activities conducted under Contract HK/2012/08 on 06 January 2016 after 1900hrs was in compliance with the statutory requirement. Nevertheless, the Contractor was reminded to upkeep the site control system for construction works carried out during restricted hours and night time for Construction Noise Permit compliance in view of the nearby public concern.

The complainant reported that excessive construction dust was generated from the construction site near Two International Finance Centre at Finance Street, Central

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that bridge works and drains/ sewers construction at the concerned location was undertaken by Contract HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015. A stockpile which would be reused for backfilling was stored at the concerned location by Contract HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015.

Mitigation measures implemented by the Contractor for the above construction works including covering of idled portion of stockpile and dampening of the exposed stockpile was implemented for the stockpile at the concerned location.

According to relevant site records confirmed by RSS, bridge works and drains/ sewers construction at the concerned location was undertaken by Contractor of HY/2009/18 on 12 November 2015 and a stockpile which would be reused for backfilling was stored at the concerned location. Mitigation measures including covering of idled portion of stockpile and dampening of the exposed stockpile was implemented for the stockpile at the concerned location.

In view of the public concern on potential dust impact at the concerned location, the Contractor of HY/2009/18 rearranged the works sequence and placed concrete blocks at the bridge retaining wall to allow for early commencement of backfilling on 19 November 2015 to minimize the size of the stockpile at an earlier stage. Additional water sprinklers were installed on 27 November 2015 to further enhance the dampening of the stockpile surface during excavation.

Follow-up inspection was conducted during weekly environmental inspection on 10 December 2015 and mitigation measures including covering of stockpile stored at the concerned location was implemented while it was observed that stockpiles stored near Man Chiu Street was not properly covered.

Over the past couple of weeks, there have been loud mechanical pounding at the construction site over the reclaimed area between Blocks 10 and 11 of City Garden. As can be seen, machines have been breaking open the concrete paved on top of the reclaimed area. Work often starts well before 9am on weekdays and, barring a brief period of lull during lunch hours, would often continue unabated until after 5pm. Although I note that certain noise reduction measures have been put into place (e.g. the erection of flimsy noise barriers around the work area), the noise created is still enormous, and this has become a significant nuisance for residents living in nearby blocks of our estate, especially children and the elderly who have to stay at home for longer hours.

ET confirmed with the Resident Site Staff that concreting breaking works was carried out with one breaker on 7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 December 2015 and the breaking works at the concerned location were completed on 14 December 2015 morning.
