For Information Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs
CB(1) 516/05-06(01) For Information Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs Legislative Council Panel on Planning, Lands and Works Information Note on Overall Sewage Infrastructure in Hong Kong Purpose This note informs members on the policy behind and progress of sewage infrastructure planning and implementation in Hong Kong. Policy Goals for the Provision of Sewage Infrastructure 2. The policy goals for the provision of sewage infrastructure are the protection of public health and the attainment of the declared Water Quality Objectives for the receiving water environment. The latter are set so as to ensure our waters are of a sufficient quality to sustain certain uses which are valued by the community. These include, variously, abstraction for potable supply, swimming, secondary contact recreation such as yachting, and the ability to sustain healthy marine and freshwater ecosystems. The Sewerage Planning Process 3. The sewerage planning process entails the systematic review of the sewerage needs in each sewerage catchment with the aim of drawing up a series of Sewerage Master Plans (SMPs) devised so as to ensure the above policy goals will be met. A total of 16 SMPs covering the whole of Hong Kong were completed between 1989 and 1996 (Annex 1). The SMPs started with those covering areas where waters were close to or exceeded their assimilative limits, were highly valued, or where excessive pollution had resulted in environmental black spots. For example, Hong Kong Island South SMP covering sensitive beach areas and Tolo Harbour SMP covering nutrient loaded Tolo Harbour were among the earliest conducted SMPs. Each study made recommendations for the appropriate network of sewers, pumping stations and treatment facilities for the proper collection, treatment and disposal of sewage generated in the catchment, with the aim of catering for the present and future development needs. -

He was the first in China to raise the concept of “subvolcanic granitoids” which concerns the intrusion of subvolcanic granitoids into complex rock considering from time, space and source of materials; He found the first S type volcanic rock in China and classified it into water rich, water deficient and fluorine rich associations, which provide new concept for the formation Interview at his residence 1 Professor Wang completed his lower high confirmed his decision to devote his life into school course under a very arduous condition geology. -

Marine Water Quality in Hong Kong in 2004 P 2.2 Mirs Bay Wcz Port Shelter Wcz Eastern Waters 2 Tolo Harbour & Channel Wcz
MIRS BAY WCZ PORT SHELTER WCZ EASTERN WATERS 2 TOLO HARBOUR & CHANNEL WCZ Chapter 2 – Eastern Waters Water Quality in 2004 2.1 The eastern waters cover an area of 900 km2. They include three Water Control Zones (WCZs) i.e. the Mirs Bay, Port Shelter and Tolo Harbour & Channel WCZs. Mirs Bay is the eastern most water of Hong Kong and is under considerable oceanic influence. While Port Shelter opens to the southern part of Mirs Bay, Tolo Harbour is connected to northern part through a narrow channel. Port Shelter, Tolo Harbour and Crooked Harbour in Mirs Bay are gazetted secondary recreational waters. The general water quality of the eastern waters is good, supporting a variety of marine life including corals. There are three marine parks and 21 fish culture zones in the eastern waters (Figure 1.6). Mirs Bay Water Control Zone 2.2 Mirs Bay has good and stable water quality, with high dissolved oxygen (DO), low turbidity, nutrients and sewage bacteria. Starling Inlet in the northern part bordering Shenzhen is subject to localized effects of Sha Tau Kok town and has slightly higher pollutant levels. In 2004, Mirs Bay has experienced an increase of DO by 16% on average, in particular at the northern stations, e.g. MM1- MM7, also at MM13, MM19 (Table 2.4). The mean annual ammonia nitrogen (NH4-N) concentration in the bay was found to have increased by 57% (similar to some other waters). However, there was no marked increase in total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) or total inorganic nitrogen (TIN), and the chlorophyll-a level remained relatively stable indicating that there was no marked increase in phytoplankton biomass in the bay. -

Press release and high-resolution images can be downloaded via the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uzadBWFndlxLwds6x7TN7WahvwdK3cU_ For Immediate Release Race starts this weekend for MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po Double category newly added for a combined race distance of 119km The Singaporean pair shared their strategy [Hong Kong, March 27, 2019] Over the persistent peaks of the Pat Sin Leng Range, Hong Kong’s most promising young trail runners are set to battle at the MSIG Ultra @ Tai Po on Saturday March 30 for more than a podium place. As the second qualifying event of the MSIG Youth Trail Running Development Programme, the 18-kilometre race will decide which four local trail runners will make the cut for the year-long training programme. While these young runners double down, a few others will double up — in the Double Category, which is also new for this year’s MSIG Ultra triumvirate of events. Participants will run the 75km on Saturday followed by the 44km the following day, for a total of 119 treacherous kilometres. The 75km and 18km races will be held on Saturday March 30, while the 44km will be held on Sunday March 31. Both the 75km and 44km races will start and finish at The Country Club at Hong Lok Yuen in Tai Po, while the 18km is a point-to-point course that will start on Bride’s Pool Road at Tai Mei Tuk and finish at Hong Lok Yuen. All distances will traverse the Pat Sin Leng range and Cloudy Hill, arguably the toughest climbs of the courses. -
