8.1
This section presents a cultural heritage impact assessment
of the Project, identifying cultural heritage resources, assessing potential direct
and indirect impacts from proposed works on these resources, and recommending
mitigation measures where required.
Environmental Legislation and Standards
8.2
Legislation, Standards, Guidelines and Criteria relevant to
the consideration of Cultural Heritage impacts under this study include the
following:
·
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO);
·
Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment
Process (EIA-TM);
·
Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance;
·
·
Guidelines for Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (GCHIA); and
·
Guidelines for Marine
Archaeological Investigation (GMAI).
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap.499)
8.3
Schedule 1 Interpretation of the EIAO defines “Sites of Cultural
Heritage” as “an antiquity or monument, whether being a place, building, site
or structure or a relic, as defined in the AM Ordinance and any place,
building, site, or structure or a relic identified by the Antiquities and
Monuments Office to be of archaeological, historical or
palaeontological significance”.
Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment Process
8.4
The criteria and guidelines for evaluating and assessing impacts
are listed in Annexes 10 and 19 of the EIA-TM respectively. The criteria for
evaluating impact on sites of cultural heritage include:
·
The general presumption in favour of the protection and
conservation of all sites of cultural heritage because they provide an
essential, finite and irreplaceable link between the past and the future and
are points of reference and identity for culture and tradition; and
·
Adverse impacts on sites of cultural heritage shall be kept
to an absolute minimum.
Antiquities and Monuments
Ordinance (Cap.53)
8.5
The Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance provides the
statutory framework for the preservation of objects of historical,
archaeological and palaeontological interest.
8.6
The Ordinance contains the statutory procedures for the
Declaration of Monuments. Under the Ordinance, monument means a place,
building, site or structure which is declared to be a monument, historical
building, archaeological or palaeontological site or structure because of its
historical, archaeological or palaeontological significance under section 3 of
the Ordinance.
8.7
Under section 6 and subject to subsection (4) of the
Ordinance, the following acts are prohibited in relation to certain monuments,
except under permit granted by the Secretary for Development:
·
To excavate, carry on building works, plant or fell trees or
deposit earth or refuse on or in a proposed monument or monument; or
·
To demolish, remove, obstruct, deface or interfere with a
proposed monument or monument
8.8
The discovery of an Antiquity, as defined in the Ordinance,
must be reported to the Antiquities Authority, or a designated person. The
Ordinance also provides that, the ownership of every relic discovered in
8.9
No archaeological excavation can be carried out by any
person, other than the Authority and the designated person, without a licence
issued by the Authority. A licence will only be issued if the Authority is
satisfied that the applicant has sufficient scientific training or experience
to enable him to carry out the excavation and search satisfactorily, is able to
conduct, or arrange for, a proper scientific study of any antiquities
discovered as a result of the excavation and search, and has sufficient staff
and financial support.
8.10
Chapter 10 of HKPSG covers planning considerations relevant
to conservation. It also details the principles of conservation, the
conservation of natural landscape and habitats, historic buildings and
archaeological sites, and addresses the issue of enforcement. The appendices
list the legislation and administrative controls for conservation, other
conservation related measures in
Guidelines for Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment
8.11
The Guidelines for Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment
(GCHIA) is attached in Appendix C-1 of the EIA Study Brief No. ESB-197/2008
(ESB) including a baseline study, field evaluation and impact assessment.
Guidelines for Marine Archaeological Assessment
8.12
The Guidelines for Marine Archaeological Assessment (GMIA)
is attached in Appendix C-2of the EIA Study Brief No. ESB-197/2008 (ESB)
including a baseline study, geophysical survey, establishing archaeological
potential and remote operated vehicle/ visual diver survey and report.
Vibration Limits on Heritage Buildings
8.13
The
vibration level should be controlled within a peak particle velocity (ppv)
limit of 25mm/s measured inside historic buildings to prevent potential damage
to built heritage, i.e. Declared Monuments and graded historical buildings,
during blasting operations. This
vibration limit was widely adopted for heritage buildings in other approved EIA
Reports (e.g. West Island Line EIA (Register No. AEIAR-126/2008), and
Harbour Area Treatment Scheme Stage 2 EIA[1]
(Register No.: AEIAR-121/2008)), and also proposed by Civil Engineering and
Development Department (CEDD) for monitoring of blasting operations in
Study Area
Terrestrial Archaeology
8.14
Given the
Project works areas and supporting sites in southern section (i.e. from
8.15
In
addition, it is anticipated that there would be no archaeological potential
within deep underground tunnel alignment, and therefore the study area of
terrestrial archaeological impact assessment covers 500m from the boundaries of
above-ground works areas and supporting sites in northern section (i.e. from
Pat Heung to Mai Po, Lung Kwu Sheung Tan, Tai Shue Ha Road West, Siu Lang Shui,
Tsing Chau Tsai and So Kwun Wat, Siu Lam) (Figure No. NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/000).
Marine Archaeology
8.16
The study
area for marine archaeological impact assessment covers the proposed dredging
area associated with the construction of Lung Kwu Sheung Tan barging point.
Built Heritage
8.17
The study
area of built heritage covers an area that stretches 500m from the Project alignment
and boundaries of all associated areas under the Project, including terminus,
stabling sidings and emergency rescue station in Shek Kong, access roads,
construction shafts/adits, ventilation buildings/Emergency Access Point,
magazine sites, works areas and barging points (Figure No. NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/000).
8.18
According
to the ESB, the historical structures of the Jubilee Reservoir are required to
be assessed, but these historical structures are located out of the 500m study
area, and no adverse impact is thus anticipated. They are therefore not addressed further in
this report.
8.19
The
baseline condition of cultural heritage has been established through a
literature review and field surveys.
Assessment Methodology
Terrestrial Archaeology
8.20
With reference to the ESB
and the GCHIA, an archaeological survey was undertaken to examine record and
interpret archaeological resources within the study areas. The archaeological
impact assessment should comply with the Guidelines of Cultural Heritage Impact
Assessment issued by AMO.
8.21
A desktop
study was conducted to collect available and relevant information of previous
archaeological, historic, geographic and geological studies related to the
study area where excavation works would be conducted.
8.22
The interpretation
of archaeological resources is based on the following aspects:
·
the extent of archaeological deposit;
·
the depth of archaeological deposit;
·
the chronology of artefacts;
·
the nature and condition of archaeological deposit; and
·
the significance of findings.
8.23
With
reference to the finding of archaeological potential review and field walk
within the study areas, an archaeological field survey in an extent of a total
of 8 test pits (each at least 1m x 1.5m at the base of excavation) and 24 hand
auger holes was conducted within the areas where were accessible during field
evaluation between October and November 2008 (Figure Nos. NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/303 – 307). The
archaeological investigation followed the standard procedures of archaeological
excavation. Sections drawings of the
soil stratigraphy and photographic records of at least one section of each test
pit were drawn. The stratum of each pit was divided by the soil colour and
texture. The recording of the soil color is according to Revised Standard Soil Colour Charts (新版標準土色帖, 2000).
All field records were recorded using trench and feature recording sheets.
Excavation of test pits was carried out down to the sterile layer.
8.24
Any
retrieved artefacts were processed following the AMO’s Guidelines for Handling
of Archaeological Finds and Archives.
All retrieved artefacts were sorted, registered, cleaned, labelled and
packaged. Their function and chronology were studied on a preliminarily basis.
8.25
The
locations of each test pit were surveyed by a qualified land surveyor according
to the
Marine Archaeology
8.26
The MAI follows
the methodology set out in the GMAI and the relevant requirements in the
EIAO-TM, Annexes 10 and 19.
·
Assess the archaeological potential of the study area from
the results of a baseline review;
·
Conduct a marine Geophysical Survey to obtain detailed data
about the seabed and sub surface sediments;
·
Identify and assess the location and significance of any
seabed features requiring further investigation and evaluation;
·
If necessary, carry out a diver inspection of seabed features
with high archaeological potential;
·
Assess the impact of the dredging works on the
archaeological resources, if present; and
·
Recommend mitigation measures, if necessary.
Built Heritage
8.27
Features
which fall within the scope of the baseline study of built heritage include:
·
Pre-1950 structures, which include any built features (apart
from historic or clan graves and historical land use cultural landscapes
features, which are dealt with separately) such as domestic structures,
ancestral halls, study halls, temples, churches, shrines, monasteries and
nunneries, village gates, wells, schools, historic walls, bridges and stone
tablets;
·
Post 1950 structures deemed to possess features containing
architectural or cultural merit;
·
Pre-World War II (pre-1941) historic or clan graves;
·
Cultural landscape features;
·
Fung shui woodlands; and
·
Historical land use features, such as historical tracks and
pathways, stone walls and terraces, ponds and other agricultural features.
8.28
In this assessment,
the built features include village house, ancestral hall, study hall, temple,
church, shrine, monastery, village gate, well, school, historic wall, bridge
stone tablet, government functional structure, shophouse and military
structure. Their cultural significances were briefly assessed so as to set up a
baseline condition for the identification of the potential impact arising from
the proposed construction works as well as the recommendation of the
corresponding mitigation measures. With reference to the Charter for the Conservation of Places of cultural Significance of
1999 (The Burra Charter) issued by the International Council on Monuments and
Sites (ICOMOS) of UNESCO, cultural significance means aesthetic, historic,
scientific, social or spiritual value.
8.29
Cultural
and historical landscapes assessed in this baseline study include places
associated with a historic event, activity, or person or exhibiting other
cultural or aesthetic values, including:
·
sacred religious sites;
·
battlefields;
·
a setting for buildings or structures of architectural or
archaeological importance;
·
historic field patterns;
·
clan or historic graves, which are associated with historic
figure or act as an important symbolic or visual landmark of a community;
·
old tracks, fung shui woodlands and ponds, and
·
Results of the Assessment of 1,444 historic buildings with
their existing and respective proposed grading, recently published by AMO.
8.30
A
desk-top literature review was conducted.
The following information was analyzed, collected and collated to
determine the presence of historical occupation in the project area and thus
assess the potential existence of cultural heritage within the potential
impacted area:
·
Background information of heritage sites (including declared
monuments, government historic sites, sites of archaeological interest and
graded historic buildings identified by AMO) within and in close proximity to
the study area (e.g. AMO files, Public Records Office, map libraries,
university and public libraries, published and unpublished government and
non-government documents, cartographic and pictorial documents);
·
Areas proposed for construction and operation activities and
potential impacts induced by the project; and
·
Identification of previous recorded cultural heritage
resources within the project boundary which will be supplemented by a field
survey as necessary subject to findings of the desktop review. The survey
methodologies are described below.
8.31
Field
survey was performed with following tasks:
·
Recording of identified built heritage features;
·
Interviews with local informants, residents and elders, if
necessary. The interviews should aim at gathering information, such as cultural
and historical background of the buildings and structures, as well as
historical events associated with the built heritage features; and
·
Systematic documentation of all recorded features including:
- Photographic records
of historic buildings or structures including the exterior (the elevations of
all faces of the building premises, the roof, close ups for special
architectural details) and the interior (special architectural details) where
possible;
- A set of 1:1000 scale
maps showing the location and boundary of each historic building, historic or
clan grave, and cultural landscapes ;
- Written descriptions
of recorded features of historic buildings, e.g. age of the building or
structure, details of architectural features, condition of the building or
structure, past and present uses, architectural appraisal, notes on any
modifications, direction faced and associations with historical or cultural
events or individuals; and
- Written descriptions
of recorded features of historic or clan graves, e.g. associated clan, a copy
of the inscription of stone table, the dimension, the orientation, original and
renovation date and architectural elements of the graves where possible.

8.33
Desktop
study shows that magazine sites situated in So Kwun Wat (SKW) and Tai Shu Ha
Road West (TSHW), and nursery sites situated in Siu Lang Shui (SLS) and So Kwun
Wat, and baring point at Siu Lam (SLB) and Tsing Chau Tsai (TCB) have no
archaeological potential, and therefore no adverse impacts are envisaged.
Historical and Ethnological Background
8.34
A desktop
study was conducted to collate available information in order to establish the
baseline conditions and identify the archaeological potential areas within the
works areas. Historical, geological and archaeological information of the study
areas were reviewed, including previous historical, geological and
archaeological studies, aerial photograph, historic maps and geological maps.
8.35
A review
of historic information indicated that inhabitants have settled in Kam Tin
since the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD).
However, archaeological findings indicated that human was settled in

Terrestrial Archaeological Investigation
Field Walk
8.39
Field
walk were undertaken for surface collection within the above-ground works
areas, in order to assess the archaeological potential based on the
distribution density of artefacts on the ground surface. Most ground surfaces of the proposed works
areas were used as open storage or covered with dense vegetation.
8.40
The
artefacts collected at the ground surface were registered, cleaned and marked
with labels. Their functions and chronology were assessed preliminarily. The
significance of these findings was also assessed, based on the period, rarity,
documentation, etc. Artefacts exposed on
the ground are listed in the Table 8.1.

15 pieces
of the Bronze Age pot shards with decoration of net and double-f, 8 pieces of
celadon bowl fragment, and 1 blue-and-white porcelain bowl fragment were found within
Tsat Sing Kong Archaeological Site, or outside of which locate at about 130 m
away from the southeast of the TPP.
8.42
A stone
tool, known as pick, which is made of pebble, was found in a terrace cutting face
of cultivation land, it was located at about 90m away from the east of PLA Shek
Kong Barrack within the SSS. Associated with this stone pick
were 8 pieces of celadon bowl fragments of Song Dynasty, 8 pieces of pot
fragments and a piece of roof tile fragment.
Five pieces of celadon bowl of Song dynasty were found in three spots
within SSS. The concentration area of these artefacts is about 50m x 30m at 80
m west of Kei Ling. A piece of blue-and-white porcelain bowl fragment and 50
pieces of roof tiles had been observed on ground surface. According to their
characters, roof tiles are dated to Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
8.43
One piece
of celadon bowl fragment dated to Song Dynasty was found on the ground surface
within TUW.

Archaeological Survey
8.45
Based on the findings
of the desktop study of archaeological potential and field walk carried out in
September 2008,
it was identified that there is archaeological potential at the works areas
with surface/excavation works, including Tai Kong Po Emergency Access Point (TPP),
Shek Kong Stabling Sidings (SSS), Pat Heung Ventilation Building (PHV) and Tse
Uk Tsuen Works Area (TUW). Test pits and auger holes
were therefore proposed at these areas.
Details of the desktop study are given in Appendix 8.5.
8.46
A total of
8 test pits and 24 hand auger holes were conducted in accessible areas between
October and December 2008 for the EIA study.
The inaccessible areas are mainly occupied by pig farms, chicken farms,
residential houses, open storage yards, garages and fish pools etc. It is
envisaged that if archaeological remains exist, the current land use might have
already destroyed their original context. However, archaeological potential in
these areas is uncertain.
8.47
Locations
of test pits and auger holes were then determined according to geological and
landform categories, findings of field walk, surface artefact collections,
existing site conditions and past land uses.

The locations
of test pits, auger holes, inaccessible area, artefact discovered points and
artefact discovered areas are indicated in Figure Nos.

Through
the classification of superficial sediment of works areas, slope deposits (colluvium)
were identified in TPP and alluvium deposits were identified in SSS and PHV.
According to the geological study and observation of the cutting face on-site,
the superficial sediment of SSS (Shek Kong) comprises an alluvium, a stratum of
pebbles and cobbles below a stratum of loamy soil, clay or sandy soil.
8.50
Stratigraphies
of all test pits (TPs) were similar, consisting of a top soil layer (L1), sandy
soil layer (L2), and regolith stratum (L3) at colluvium areas (i.e. TPP). At alluvium areas (i.e. SSS, TUW and PHV),
the strata consists of a top soil layer (L1), cultivation layer (L2), loamy
soil layer (L3), clay layer (L4) and pebbles layer (L5, about 1m below
surface). Artefacts were only found in SSS, TUW and PHV but no artefacts were
found in TPP.
8.51
A total
of 119 pieces of roof tile fragments (46), pot fragments (43), basin fragments
(19) and celadon bowl fragments (11) were unearthed in L3 of TP4 at SSS. “Cultural layer” is a term referring to a
soil layer with ancient man-made features of physical remains. A stable cultural layer, which is made up of
a substantial number of roof tile fragment (46) and kitchen utensil fragments
(73), was identified in Layer 3 of TP4. Only one cultural layer was identified
in TP4. A comparison of artefacts of TP4 was made. The characters of celadon
bowl rims and foot ring show that relics dated to Song to Ming Dynasties.
8.52
PHV and
TUW are located in front of a hill slope. The eastern portion of PHV was filled
in a decade ago. TUW is
used as cultivation field. A total of 5 pieces of pot, blue-and-white porcelain
bowl fragments and celadon bowl fragments were unearthed in L4 of TP2 at TUW. A
piece of glaze pot base was found in L2 of TP3 at PHV, PHV and TUW are located far away from the
stream or river and also have no historic settlement that was found nearby. It
is considered that the PHV have no archaeological potential while TUW would
have some archaeological potential. Details are given in Table 8.3.

Summary of Artefacts
8.53
The
artefacts collected on the ground surface and dug out form test pits and auger
holes included a stone pick, kitchen utensil fragments (i.e. basin, pot, bowl)
and some roof tile fragments. These artefacts dated to the Late Neolithic Age,
the Bronze Age, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is significant that 15 pieces
of the Bronze Age pot fragments decorated with double-f, net and raised square
pattern were found in Tsat Sing Kong Archaeological Site in which the
discovered area was situated at about 130 m away from southeast of the works
area boundary of TPP.
Marine Archaeological Investigation
Baseline Review
8.54
A baseline review was undertaken to compile a comprehensive
inventory of marine archaeological resources of the LKST barging point. The aim of the baseline review is to compile
the most significant information to establish the archaeological potential of
the seabed within the dredging area. The
review established the historical profile and potential for cultural heritage
sites and included:
·
Marine charts records held in the UK Hydrographic Office,
and National Maritime Museum Library in
·
Publications on local historical, architectural,
anthropological, archaeological and other cultural studies; and
·
Unpublished papers, records, archival and historical
documents held in local libraries and other government departments.

Therefore, the aim of the baseline review is to establish
the maritime history within and around the study area to predict the
archaeological potential of the LKST barging point.

While this area has always been
important for international trade with China, from the 16th century
onwards as European trade with China increased, shipping movement intensified
in the Pearl River Delta and the area latterly known as the Urmston Roads
formed the main thoroughfare for all ships approaching from the east, on passage
north via the Pearl River Delta to Canton.

Existing Condition
of LKST Barging Point
8.64
There has been extensive reclamation on the shore adjacent
to the LKST barging point, an existing marine pipe located adjacent to the
site. These disturbances caused by the
pervious marine works have damaged submerged archaeological resources, if any.
8.65
The intense maritime activity in
Geophysical survey
8.66
The geophysical survey data provided 100% coverage of the
dredging area seabed with side scan sonar data. The seabed of LKST dredging
area is extremely disturbed, probably as a result of the existing reclamation
and construction of the sewage outfall pipe.
The data quality was high with the exception of the masked areas which
were probably caused by discharges from the nearby sewage outfall.
8.67
High Resolution sub-bottom profiler (C-Boom low voltage
boomer system), side scan sonar (Edge-tech 272) and single beam echo sounder (SBES),
were deployed with use of Differential Global Positioning at all times. The system provides corrected positions to an
accuracy of +/-
8.68
The seismic profiler
data enabled detailed analysis of the seabed stratigraphy. Within the survey area the shallow geology comprises three
geological units, the upper unit of marine deposits known as the Hang Hau
Formation, which in turn overlies estuarine and alluvial deposits of the Chek
Lap Kok Formations, below this Formation lies weathered granite bedrock.
8.69
The soft mud of the Hang Hau Formation is present across the
dredging area, this would provide an excellent preservation environment.
Normally perishable material could be buried. The pre- Holocene sedimentary
formations beneath the Hang Hau Formation in the dredging area are considered
to offer limited to no archaeological potential. The original land surface
existed at the top of these deposits would have been planed-off during the
Holocene marine transgression. Thus, any evidence of late Pleistocene human
land activity in the study area would almost certainly have been removed.
8.70
Hand held Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to locate the position of
the 9 sonar contacts, which were all identified as modern debris (Table 8.4). In addition, no buried
objects were located nearby as identified by hand held probes. It is therefore concluded that no
submerbed cultural remains are located within the dredging area, and any
further investigation or mitigation measures are not required.

Some
study areas, including Lam Tsuen Country Park, Tai Mo Shan Country Park and the
southern portion of the alignment from Sham Shui Po to West Kowloon Terminus,
where the alignment go through these areas, no potential archaeological sites
and built heritage structures are identified.
Identification of Potential Impacts
Levels of Impact
8.74
The
evaluation of the impacts on heritage resources affected by the proposed
development is classified into three levels of significance, based on type and
extent of the effect:
a) Acceptable Impact: if the
assessment indicates that there will be no significant effects on the built
heritage resources.
b) Acceptable Impact with
mitigation measures: if there will be some adverse effects, but these can be
eliminated, reduced or offset to a large extent by specific mitigation
measures.
c) Unacceptable Impact: if
the adverse effects are considered to be too excessive and are unable to
mitigate practically.
8.75
The
impacts were assessed for both the construction and operation phases. The details
of the assessment are discussed in the following sections.
Construction Phase
8.76
Any
heritage resources, located within close proximity to works areas or the
railway alignment may be impacted through:
·
Direct impact to historic buildings (e.g. demolition) and
sites of terrestrial and marine archaeological potential (e.g. excavation and
dredging)
·
Indirect vibration impact due to drill and blast activities
during construction phase on historic buildings that may lead to the structural
damage or interference of normal activities
·
Indirect visual impact to historic buildings due to
construction works e.g. excavation works at surface
Operation Phase
8.77
Impacts on
cultural heritage during operational phase of the Project include:
·
Indirect visual impact associated with alteration in
surrounding environment of the historical structures due to the above-ground
structures of the Project
·
Indirect vibration impact to historic buildings from train
movements during operation phase
8.78
Since the
rail tunnel will be located deep underground and the area affected would be
unlikely to contain any archaeological remains.
Evaluation of Potential
Impacts
Construction Phase
Terrestrial Archaeology
Direct Impact
8.79
The findings of the archaeological
potential review and field evaluation indicate that the works areas including
MPV, NTV, PHV, SLS, SLB, SKW, TSHW and TCB have no archaeological potential. No
artefact was observed during field walk at these areas, and hence construction
works in these areas would not cause adverse archaeological impact.
8.80
In addition, no excavation works would
be involved in the construction of LKST barging point, it is therefore
anticipated that there would be no adverse archaeological impact arising from
the construction works.
8.81
According to the findings of desktop
review and archaeological investigation, SSS has archaeological potential and an
area with archaeological remains was identified at southern SSS, and therefore
potential impact on the identified archaeological remain area is envisaged.
8.82
Field investigation revealed that some
areas in SSS were found to have archaeological potential. The inaccessible areas in SSS are currently
occupied by pig and chicken farms, open storage yards, manufacturing
facilities, garages, dumping sites etc, it is therefore anticipated that any
archaeological deposits in these inaccessible areas have probably been
disturbed, however, the archaeological potential in these areas are uncertain
yet.
8.83
Although the archaeological
investigation within the accessible area in TPP revealed that no archaeological
potential was identified but the archaeological potential in inaccessible areas
are uncertain yet. The inaccessible
areas in TPP are currently occupied by pig and chicken farms. A few prehistoric and historic ceramic
fragments were found at about 130 m away from the southeast of the TPP works
area. Thus, it is likely indicated that TPP has some archaeological potential.
8.84
Desktop review and archaeological
investigation indicated that TUW would have some archaeological potential and
there are some artefacts were unearthed in field investigation.
8.85
It is therefore considered that there
would be potential direct impacts on the identified archaeological remain areas
in Shek Kong, Tai Kong Po and Tse Uk Tsuen.
Indirect Impact
8.86
A few ceramic fragments of the Bronze
Age and Song to Ming dynasties were found at about 130 m away from the
southeast of the TPP works area. Thus TPP works area should not be extended to
the relic discovered area to avoid potential impact on archaeological remains.
Marine Archaeology
8.87
The Marine Archaeological Investigation covered 100% of the
area that will be dredged. There were no
objects on the seabed that indicated submerged archaeological material. It is
therefore concluded that there are no archaeological resources on the seabed
within the study area. Neither
direct nor indirect impact on marine archaeological resources is
anticipated.
Built Heritage and Cultural Landscape
Direct Impact
8.88
Declared
monuments and graded historic buildings were identified and avoided in the
early stage of the Project development. Therefore, there would be no direct
impact on the identified heritage resources except earth shrines at Nam Hing Lei (NHL-04), Leung
Uk Tsuen (LET-07), which are located within the site boundary of SSS (Figure No. NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/023
& 025), and Tai Kong Po (TKP-02), which is located
within the site boundary of TPP (Figure No. NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/010). It may
be demolished or impacted by strong and continuous vibration during the
construction phase. Any adverse impacts on the heritage structures should
be avoided, consultation with
the local villagers has been made and it was agreed that the earth shrines at
Nam Hing Lei, Leung Uk Tsuen and Tai Kong Po will be relocated by themselves.
Indirect Impact
8.89
Either
cut-and-cover, drill and blast or tunnel boring method would be used for tunnel
formation along the Project. Blasting would cause vibrations which will be
transmitted to the environs. The duration of blasting is very short and
infrequent, however, if sufficiently strong, these vibrations may cause damage
to structures. The vibration levels resulted from blasting would generally be
higher than those generated from cut-and-cover or tunnel boring machine adopted
in bored tunnel construction method. Indirect vibration impact induced by
blasting could therefore be a concern to nearby heritage resources compared
with other two tunnelling methods though vibration levels could be controlled
to acceptable levels by limiting the quantity of the explosives per delay used
on the blast pattern. In view of this, indirect vibration impact induced by
blasting was considered in the present assessment as the worst case scenario.
All ventilation buildings and construction shafts will be constructed by
cut-and-cover method.
8.90
To avoid any damages to heritage structures through
vibration, the basic approach would be to adjust the charge weight per delay
along the alignment, so that the maximum vibration level could be controlled
within a ppv limit of 25mm/s, which is also widely used in other
projects. It is envisaged that, through the control of vibration levels
from the proposed construction works, vibration impact on the identified
heritage resources would be insignificant.
8.91
As indicated in Table 8.5, there will be drill and blast
tunnelling works at about -25mPD in rock below
8.92
Given Cheung
Yuen (LET-06) is located close to the SSS works area, there might be vibration
impact induced by cut-and-cover works during the construction of ERS. A condition survey and vibration monitoring is proposed to
minimise the potential vibration impact.
8.93
Potential
indirect impacts including vibration and visual impacts on cultural heritage
sites during construction phase would be temporary and are discussed in more
details in Table 8.5. Based on the
preliminary design information, no temporary changes of access to the
identified heritage sites were identified.

the tunnel construction is envisaged and could be minimized through vibration
control and monitoring. - Severe cracks exist on the brick walls of Block P, minor cracks
exist on the brick walls of Block W, and the roof of Block Q is excessively
deflected. Further condition survey and vibration
monitoring are therefore proposed to minimise the vibration impact
envisaged. -
Some slopes of the hospital have been reinforced by concrete. It is
envisaged that no vibration impacts on the slopes. |
- Further condition survey and consolidation works for Blocks P, Q and W would
be conducted before the construction. - Through the control of vibration
levels from the proposed construction works, potential impact due to
vibration from the proposed construction works could be minimized. |

Operation Phase
Built Heritage
8.94
There
will be generally no adverse visual impact on identified built heritage resources
during the operation phase as the rail line will be located underground and
will not be visible. Some of the heritage buildings and grave lands will have
line of sight to the above-ground structures including the ventilation
buildings and SSS. As those structures would be incorporated into an existing
setting sympathetic to environmental character of the site, as discussed in Table 8.6, no adverse visual impact
would be envisaged. Based on the preliminary design information, no changes of access
to the identified heritage sites were identified.
8.95
Potential
vibration impact due to operational trains have been evaluated with reference
to the separation distance between identified heritage structures and the
nearest rail track (Table 8.6 below
refers), having considered that vibration level would be reduced over distance.
Since most of the rail alignment would be located in deep tunnel, vibration
impact due to the passing trains would be generally minor.
8.96
Since the
rail alignment would be located at about 40m below the local ground level of
the Lower Section of Lai Chi Kok Hospital, there is sufficient buffer distance
between the building and rail track. No adverse vibration impact would be
expected and no mitigation measure would be required.

Construction Phase
Terrestrial Archaeology
Archaeological
Action Plan
8.97
It is considered
that the potential impacts on archaeological remains are considered as
acceptable impact with mitigation measures.
Further archaeological investigation in inaccessible areas in SSS and
TPP and a rescue excavation in southern portion of accessible SSS are
recommended to be carried out after land resumption and before the commencement
of construction works at these areas.
8.98
A
separate Archaeological Action Plan (AAP) following the Guidelines for Cultural
Heritage Impact Assessment should therefore be submitted and agreed with AMO. The Project Proponent
should appoint qualified and experienced archaeologist(s) with sufficient
funding, time and personnel arrangements to implement the AAP. Details of the
proposal plan with specification for further archaeological investigation,
rescue excavation and watching brief should be agreed with AMO.
The
AAP should include the following:
·
a detailed plan for further archaeological investigation at
inaccessible areas in TPP and SSS;
·
a detailed plan for rescue excavation at the southern SSS;
·
a contingency plan to address possible arrangement when
significant archaeological findings
are unearthed during the further archaeological
investigation and rescue excavation;
and
·
a detailed plan for archaeological watching brief during the
construction works at TUW.
8.99
Details
of further archaeological investigation, rescue excavation and watching brief
are discussed below.
Further Investigation
8.100
There are
inaccessible areas which have been disturbed by different land uses, such as
pig and chicken farms, open storage yards, garages and village houses. The archaeological investigation of the EIA
study was limited by the accessibility of the above-ground works areas, thus
the archaeological potential within these inaccessible areas is uncertain
yet. In order to confirm whether any
archaeological remains exist in these inaccessible areas, a further
archaeological investigation is recommended. It is recommended that a minimum
of 18 test pits (1m x 1.5m) could be carried out within the following areas
(refer to Figure Nos.
NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/303 – 304 & 306 -307). If archaeological data collected from these 18 test pits is insufficient
to ascertain the archaeological potential of the inaccessible areas, additional
test pits should be conducted.
·
The northern area of SSS located near Shek Kong PLA Barrack
- A stone pick, some Song dynasty celadon bowls and roof tile fragments were identified
in a cutting face of a cultivation field;
·
The central area of SSS – It is being occupied by pig and
chicken farms. A few Song celadon bowls and roof tile fragments were collected
in a foot path;
·
The southern area of SSS – it is being occupied by
agricultural farms and factories. A lot of fragment of bowl, pot and roof tile
were discovered in surface and subsurface, those artefacts dated to Song to
Ming dynasties, it is believed a historic settlement was existing; thus,
additional test pit should be considered to be conducted in southern part of
SSS. The purpose of additional test pits
be conducted in this area is to exactly demarcate the boundary and the depth of
subsurface archaeological deposit for the reference of rescue excavation; and
·
The inaccessible area of TPP– It
is being occupied by pig and chicken farms.
8.101
A contingency plan should also be incorporated into AAP to address possible arrangement when significant
archaeological findings are unearthed in a further archaeological investigation.
Rescue Excavation
8.102
The
proposed rescue excavation is to preserve archaeological remains by detailed
records. Proposed rescue excavation area is located at the southern portion of
SSS. Indicated from test pit, a cultural layer of Song and Ming dynasties was
identified between 15 cm and 40cm below the ground surface. Prior to the commencement of rescue
excavation, additional test pit should be conducted to demarcate the boundary and the depth
of subsurface archaeological deposit. The rescue area is shown in Figure Nos. NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/307.
Watching Brief
8.103
A
watching brief is recommended, as a precautionary measure, for the
identification of any historical finds during the construction works at TUW,
which might have a potential for finds and remains of archaeological interest
to be found. The watching brief should
be undertaken by qualified archaeologist(s).
Details of the frequency of inspection will be provided in AAP for AMO
to review and comment. The qualified
archaeologist should liaise with the contractor with respect to details of the
construction programme. The contractor should immediately inform the
archaeologist and the AMO if any significant archaeological deposits are
identified during the course of the construction works.
Site
Audit
8.104
No excavation works would be conducted during the
construction of barging point in LKST, and thus no adverse archaeological
impact is anticipated. In order to avoid
any impact on the archaeological potential of LKST, regular site audit is
recommended to confirm no excavation works at the
archaeological deposit area is carried out (refer to Figure No.
NOL/ERL/300/C/XRL/ENS/M55/205). Audit
finding should be reported in monthly EM&A reports and be submitted to AMO upon completion of
construction works.
Restriction
of Works Boundary of TPP
8.105
To avoid any potential impact to relic discovered area in
Tai Kong Po, works boundary of TPP should not be extended to relics discovered
area outside TPP.
Marine Archaeology
8.106
Without marine archaeological resources
identified in the dredging area of LKST barging point, mitigation measures or
further marine archaeological investigation are not required.
Built Heritage and Cultural Landscape
Measures
for Heritage Structures
8.107
Measures are developed to protect these built heritage
structures from potential direct impacts through avoidance of works areas at
the sites of these structures or relocation of these structures. Earth shrines (NHL-04) at Nam Hing Lei and
Leung Uk Tsuen (LET-07) are located at the works boundary of SSS, and earth
shrine at Tai Kong Po Tsuen (TKP-02) is located at the works boundary of TPP,
relocation of these shrines as mitigation measure is recommended. Consultation
with the local villagers has been made and it was agreed that the earth shrines
will be relocated by themselves.
Condition Survey and
Vibration Monitoring
8.108
As
evaluated in Table 8.5, there would be no significant impact to the identified
heritage structures, except the Lower Section of LCKH of which severe cracks
and minor cracks exist on the brick walls of Blocks P and W respectively, the
roof of Block Q is excessively deflected, as observed in a field survey.
8.109
Control
of vibration levels induced from the proposed construction work is considered
to be an effective way to avoid potential impact on the LCKH. Vibration monitoring at LCKH (Blocks P, Q, W
and L) should be conducted during the drill and blast activities to avoid adverse
vibration impact.
8.110
A further
condition survey and appropriate consolidation works (i.e. temporary propping,
reinforced supporting etc.), if necessary, will be carried out at Blocks P, Q,
W and the inaccessible area of LCKH prior to the commencement of construction
works. Further condition survey and
appropriate consolidation works should be discussed and agreed in advance with
AMO, Hong Kong Institution for Promotion of Chinese Culture (the “NPO”,
selected organization for the Revitalisation Scheme), the Commissioner for Heritage’s Office
and relevant parties prior to the commencement of works.
8.111
The Condition Survey
and Stability Assessment of the existing slopes within the blasting influence
zone at LCKH have been conducted with results provided in Appendix 8.2.
Before the commencement of construction works below LCKH, the Contractor will
be required to carry out site inspection of the existing features and carry out
any stability assessment, if necessary.
8.112
If
consent is given by the property owner of Cheung Yuen (LET-06), mitigation
measures including (1) a condition survey at Cheung Yuen prior to commencement
of works in SSS; and (2) vibration monitoring at Cheung Yuen to control the
vibration to acceptable level of 25mm/s when excavation works are being
conducted within 50m radius from the house should be conducted. The condition survey and installation of
vibration monitoring at Cheung Yuen should be discussed and agreed with AMO and
the property owner of Cheung Yuen (LET-06) before the survey and installation.
8.113
The construction vibration control requirement will be
incorporated into relevant contracts for the construction of the Project. The
contractor is required to make proposals for blasting and to monitor and report
the results of his blasting, including ground-borne vibration, in accordance
with conditions attached to permits to use explosives by Mines Division of
CEDD. Vibration induced by blasting
should be monitored and it should not exceed the vibration limit of 25mm/s. In
occurrence of exceeding the vibration limit, the contractor is required to
immediately adjust his blasting proposals to return ground-borne vibrations to
below the limiting value. Through the control of vibration
levels from the proposed construction and blasting works, adverse impact on the
identified built heritage would not be envisaged.
Visual Impact
8.114
The use
of sensibly designed screen hoardings for mitigating landscape and visual
impacts is recommended for reducing the potential visual impact on identified heritage
buildings to acceptable levels.
8.115
Indirect
visual impact on built heritage structures due to surface construction works
would be expected. Hoarding is recommended to be erected along the boundary of
the works area. Therefore, adverse visual impact due to the carrying out of
surface works could be screened. The hoardings will be sensibly designed (Table
8.5 refers). With the mitigation
measures as proposed in Table 8.5, it is envisaged that the
construction phase visual impact would be temporary and could be mitigated to
an acceptable level.
8.116
Potential
indirect impacts including vibration and visual impacts on cultural heritage
sites during construction phase would be temporary and are discussed in Table 8.5. Based on the preliminary
design information, temporary change of access to the identified heritage sites
would not be envisaged.
Operation Phase
Terrestrial and Marine Archaeology
8.117
There
would be no archaeological impact due to operation of the Project, and therefore
mitigation measures are not required.
Built Heritage and Cultural Landscape
8.118
Mitigation
measures recommended for visual impacts would generally ameliorate potential
impacts to the surrounding environment including historic sites.
8.119
No adverse
vibration impacts due to operational trains were expected. No mitigation
measures would be needed.
Environmental Monitoring
and Audit
Construction Phase
Terrestrial Archaeology
8.120
An Archaeological Action Plan (AAP) should be prepared to present
the details of further archaeological investigation, rescue excavation and
contingency plan in SSS and TPP, and watching brief in TUW. This AAP should be submitted to AMO and
relevant authority for approval.
8.121
Regular site audit should be conducted to confirm that no
excavation at the archaeological deposit area in Lung Kwu Sheung Tan (LKST) is
carried out during the construction of LKST barging point. Details of the EM&A requirements are
provided in a stand-alone EM&A Manual.
Marine Archaeology
8.122
There are
no marine archaeological remains identified in the LKST dredging area, it is no
need for any mitigation measures of further investigation for the dredging
area.
Built Heritage
8.123
The use of sensibly designed screen hoardings for mitigating
landscape and visual impacts as proposed in Section 7 would also be recommended for reducing the potential
visual impact on identified heritage buildings to acceptable levels. Based on
this, environmental monitoring and audit (EM&A) requirements recommended in
Section 16 for landscape and visual
impacts would as well be applicable for the protection of heritage resources.
8.124
Vibration monitoring should be installed inside or very close
to the identified vibration sensitive built heritage structures, i.e. Lower
Section of LCKH and Cheung Yuen. Vibration induced by blasting and excavation
activities should be monitored and it should not exceed the vibration limit of
25mm/s.
8.125
It is proposed to install two vibration monitoring locations
and two tilt meters in Block L (the Middle Section of LCKH), which is the
closest building to the proposed tunnel.
Since Blocks P and Q in the Lower Section are in poor structural
condition, it is recommended to install additional monitoring stations in these
heritage structures. It is also proposed
to install deformation monitoring/ground settlement markers at Blocks P and Q;
and telltales monitoring provided for Blocks P and W, and the exact location would
be subject to the agreement with AMO, NPO and the Commissioner for Heritage
Office and relevant parties. Monitoring
results should be included in the monthly EM&A report.
8.126
A further condition survey and consolidation works at Blocks P, Q and W
and the inaccessible area of LCKH should be conducted before commencement of
the construction works.
8.127
If the consent is given by the property owner of Cheung Yuen
(LET-06), a condition survey and vibration monitoring should be
conducted prior to commencement of condition survey and construction works in
SSS respectively. The survey and
monitoring locations should be discussed and agreed in advance with AMO and the
property owner before the survey and installation.
8.128
The affected earth shrines (NHL-04) at Nam Hing Lei, Leung
Uk Tsuen (LET-07) and Tai Kong Po Tsuen (TKP-02) should be relocated before
commencement of construction at these areas.
The relocation will be conducted by local villagers as agreed.
Operation Phase
Terrestrial and Marine Archaeology
8.129
No
adverse impact on both terrestrial and marine archaeological remain is
envisaged during operation.
Built Heritage
8.130
Mitigation
measures recommended in Table 8.6 in
relation to visual impacts would generally ameliorate potential impacts to the
surrounding environment including built heritage.
8.131
No
adverse vibration impact due to operational trains is envisaged. No mitigation
measure and specific EM&A requirements would be required.
8.132
With the
implementation of the recommended mitigation measures, such as further
archaeological investigation, a rescue excavation for archaeological remains
and vibration monitoring for built heritage structures, the Project would have
no adverse impacts on the cultural heritage resources in the study area, during
both construction and operation phases.
8.133
Due to no
excavation would be carried out during the construction of barging point in LKST and thus no
adverse archaeological impact is anticipated. In order to avoid any impact on
the archaeological potential of LKST, regular site audit is recommended to
ascertain that no excavation works at the archaeological deposit area is
carried out.
8.134
A field
survey at ex-Lai Chi Kok Hospital (LCKH) reveals that in the lower section,
both Blocks P and Q are in poor condition, while Block W is in fair condition.
Severe cracks exist on the brick walls of Blocks P, the roof of Block Q is in
excessively deflected and minor cracks were identified on the walls of Block W.
Blocks P, Q and W, and the inaccessible area of LCKH are recommended to have
further condition survey and consolidation works for their structures before
the commencement of the construction. To minimize the potential impact,
vibration monitoring is recommended in Blocks L, P, Q and also W during the
course of construction to confirm that there would be no unacceptable deviation
from the set limits.
