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 ¡V 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:
¡P
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);
¡P
The Central Interchange near the Rumsey Street Flyover to provide road
connections to the Central area;
¡P
Tunnel control buildings and ventilation buildings;
¡P
Slip roads to connect the CWB to the local road system in the Wan Chai
North and
¡P
Associated road lighting, road signing, traffic control and surveillance
system; and
¡P
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.

used for carrying 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

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.
As such, it is considered that there were no cumulative construction
impact due to the concurrent activities of the current projects with the
Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII) undertaken by contractor HK12/02 in the
reporting period.
7.0.3.
According to the construction programme of
Central-Wanchai Bypass at Wanchai West at the Central Reclamation Phase III
area, no works was conducted in the reporting period. In view of the above, the
cumulative construction impact due to the Central Reclamation Phase III (CRIII)
was not anticipated.
7.0.4. According to the construction programme
of Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern
Corridor Link projects, no construction works under Wan Chai Development Phase
II was conducted at Wan Chai. The major construction activities under
Central-Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link Projects were bridge
noise enclosure installation works, road works, drainage works, soft landscape
works and ventilation building ABWF work at North Point area in the reporting
period. In addition, other non-Wan Chai Development Phase II, Central-Wan Chai
Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link projects were observed undertaken at
Wan Chai North and North Point area.
7.0.5.
As relevant site mitigation measures for air
quality and construction noise were implemented, no significant air quality
impact and noise impact from construction activities was concluded in the
reporting period. Besides, no
project related exceedance was recorded in the reporting period. Thus,
it is evaluated that the cumulative construction impact from the concurrent
projects including Wan Chai Development Phase II (WDII), Central-WanChai Bypass
(CWB), Island Eastern Corridor Link projects (IECL) was insignificant.
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. There was no non-compliance from the
