Purpose and Nature of the Project. 1.2 The objective of this Project is to design and supervise the construction of landslide hazard mitigation works at two sites, one at Xxxx Xxx on Lantau Island, and the other at Shatin Heights in Shatin, where natural terrain landslides pose a major hazard to the occupants at the toe of the natural hillsides.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. 1.2.1 The existing Cheoy Xxx Shipyards (CLS) at Penny’s Bay, Lantau will be decommissioned for the construction of Hong Kong Disneyland Phase 1 and its associated infrastructures including Penny’s Bay Section of the Chok Ko Wan Link Road, Road P2 and the water recreation centre. The environmental impact assessment (EIA) study for the CLS decommissioning is being undertaken and the approval of EIA report as well as the issuance of Environmental Permit (the Decommissioning EP) will be expected in mid-2002. Under the requirement of the Air Pollution Control Ordinance (APCO), an asbestos survey was conducted in April 2001 and the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) revealed. The asbestos investigation report (AIR) and asbestos abatement plan (AAP) have been submitted to and approved on 6 July 2001 by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD). According to the AIR, corrugated cement roofing and switch boxes were the major ACM found in the CLS site requiring removal on an earliest opportunity. The asbestos abatement work, being a significant part of the decommissioning work, however cannot commence until the issuance of the Decommissioning EP. On 9 July 2001, the issue was brought towards to the Advisory Committee on Environment (ACE) for discussion and reviewed and the ACE members expressed no adverse comments.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. 1.2.1 The western Pearl River Delta (PRD) has undergone rapid development in recent years. When the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link (TM-CLKL) are completed in a couple of years, Lantau will become an essential connecting point for journeys to and from Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao and other nearby cities in the western PRD. Based on the previous Feasibility Study of HZMB, it is projected that the HKBCF would have a daily patronage of 9,200 to 14,000 vehicles and 55,850 to 69,200 passengers in Year 2016.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. 1.2.1 The Project is part of Public Works Programme Item 4125DS - Tolo Harbour Sewerage of Unsewered Areas, Stage II, which originates from the findings of the Study “Review of North District and Tolo Harbour Sewerage Master Plan” completed by Environmental Protection Department (EPD) in 2002. The purpose of the Project is to construct and operate a sewage pumping station in Sai O to cope with the sewerage needs of both existing and future developments.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. The acceleration of the LPM Programme was originally arranged as a 5-year Project to end in March 2000. As part of Government’s long-term strategy for upgrading slopes and retaining walls (i.e. features) in the New Catalogue of Slopes, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) has extended the Project for another 10 years beyond the year 2000. This 10-year Extended LPM Project aims to complete the upgrading works for another 2,500 substandard government features and safety-screening studies for another 3,000 private features by the year 2010. The objective of Agreement No. CE11/2004 (GE) is to upgrade up to 30 government features in Tai Po. Among them, one feature (Feature No. 3SE-B/C156) falls within the Xxx Sin Leng Country Park. The scope of works at the feature comprises minor earthworks to facilitate landscaping, soil nailing, drainage improvements and landscaping works. Upon the completion of the ecological study for the above feature, an ecological report was submitted to the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) for the determination of Designated Project. Subsequently, the landslip preventive works at the feature was considered as a Designated Project after the reviewing by EPD.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. Being one of the new initiatives in the 2003 Policy Agenda, the Government undertakes to implement the Total Water Management programme in which water conservation and water resource protection are enhanced through education and promotion, while technologies for recycling and desalination are examined in parallel through pilot schemes. The 2005 Policy Agenda reiterated the need to roll out the programme and the proposed Reclaimed Water Demonstration Scheme at SWHSTW in the North District (the Scheme) is one of the two pilot schemes identified for exploring the alternative uses of reclaimed water in the territory. The Scheme involves the reuse of tertiary treated effluent from Xxxx Xx Hui Sewage Treatment Works (SWHSTW) for household toilet flushing, unrestricted irrigation and water features (e.g. decorative streams and fountains). Treated effluent from the SWHSTW will further undergo pre-treatment process (micro-straining), membrane filtration (ultrafiltration) and disinfection (chlorination) by a pilot demonstration advanced treatment plant. The reclaimed water will be conveyed to some selected users such as schools, old folks home and village houses by means of temporary pipeline, and water tankers as provisional need. Figure 1 shows the general layout of the project. There will be sampling and laboratory testing to monitor the quality of reclaimed water and the performance of the demonstration advanced treatment plant and feedback from the users will be collected for review. It is hoped that the pilot Scheme can demonstrate the economic, environmental and technical feasibility as well as the system reliability of such processes before full-scale implementation of reclaimed water uses.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. The Project involves the reuse of tertiary treated effluent from Ngong Ping STP for toilet flushing. The treated effluent from Ngong Ping STP will further undergo chlorination before being conveyed to the point of usage at the toilets, including Public Toilet 1, Public Toilet 2, and a future Public Toilet 3 to be constructed within the new Public Transport Interchange at Ngong Ping. In addition, the Government is discussing with the developer of the Ngong Ping Cable Car Project on the use of treated effluent for toilet flushing within the cable car premises. Drawing No. 23400/R/001 shows the general layout. The treatment process for the effluent reuse scheme, which will be incorporated within the boundary of the Ngong Ping STP site, is as shown in Drawing Xx.00000/X/002.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. Since the gazetting of the Outline Zoning Plans (OZPs) for public consultation under the Town Planning Ordinance on 4 September 1998, the South East Kowloon Development (SEKD) has attracted overwhelming public objection. As a result of a series of public consultations (see attached summary at Annex I), a revised scheme has been prepared to incorporate the main views expressed by the public. Based on the new layout, a comprehensive feasibility study will be carried out to evaluate the proposed development. The Study will investigate the detailed engineering feasibility of the revised scheme which is intended to develop the disused Kai Tak Airport and its adjoining areas into a new urban community with a range of facilities. The Study will also examine the feasibility of providing a new strategic transport infrastructure to resolve the persistent traffic problems in the region.
Purpose and Nature of the Project. 1.1.2 The purpose of the Project is to alleviate flooding problems in Ping Che / Ta Kwu Ling Area by improving part of the Xxxx Xxxx River in Ta Kwu Ling in accordance with the recommendation of “Drainage Master Plan (DMP) Study in the Northern New Territories” which was completed in October 1999.
