  • Chapter 5 Provision of Aquatic Recreational and Sports Facilities
    Chapter 5 Provision of aquatic recreational and sports facilities Audit conducted a review to examine the provision and management of aquatic recreational and sports facilities by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and to ascertain whether there were areas for improvement. Gazetted beaches 2. According to paragraph 2.4(a) of the Audit Report, a consultant, who carried out a coastal safety audit on the beaches of Hong Kong in 2000, had advised that the Rocky Bay Beach should be deleted from the list of gazetted beaches because of safety reason and low usage. However, the LCSD considered that de-gazetting beaches was a sensitive issue and decided not to take further action. The Committee asked about the sensitivity of the de-gazetting and whether the LCSD would de-gazette the beach. 3. In response, Ms Anissa WONG Sean-yee, Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, said that: - in deciding to close the Rocky Bay Beach because of its poor water quality, the Administration had considered whether the beach should be de-gazetted. At that time, the Administration was of the view that it should consider the development of the beach water quality. It was also concerned that the relevant District Council and beach goers might consider that they might need to observe the development of the issue for a period of time; and - taking into account the current situation of the water quality, the usage of the beach, as well as other factors, such as the usage rate of the Shek O Beach, the LCSD agreed in principle to Audit’s recommendation that the Rocky Bay Beach be de-gazetted.

  • Environmental Impact Assessment for Sai Kung Sewage Treatment Works (SKSTW) Outfall
    Tutorial 6 - Environmental Impact Assessment for Sai Kung Sewage Treatment Works (SKSTW) Outfall In many densely populated cities in Asia, such as Hong Kong, jet groups discharged from an outfall is usually located not far away from water sensitive receivers (beaches or fish farms). While relying on the near- field model alone can give one a quick impression of the outfall performance close to the source, a complete computation from near to far field is necessary when conducting the environmental impact assessment. The purpose of this example is to evaluate the potential environmental impact of the operation of the Sai Kung Sewage Treatment Works (SKSTW) under the design capacity of 22,000 m3/day. The SKSTW dry- weather influent flow pattern observed in mid-December 2001 was adopted to derive the 24-hour effluent flow pattern. The outfall for SKSTW is assumed to be a 90 m long diffuser with 18 vertical jets of diameter 0.1 m. Pollution loads from 12 storm outfalls and Sai Kung Typhoon Shelter are also included. The effluent discharge flow is taken to be fresh water with zero salinity. The far field model uses a 153 x 153 x 8 curvilinear grid and has 100192 active cells. The tidal forcing at the open boundary consists of the five main tidal constituents (M2, S2, O1, P1 and K1) and 15-day spring-neap cycle is simulated. With DESA, the impact of the effluent discharge from the SKSTW outfall in both the near and far field is simulated. The files for this tutorial are “PS06_scan07b9.vjx”, “PS06_scan02b9.vjx” and PS07w_nh301.vjx”.

    File Ref : EP 86/21/72 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF Country Parks Ordinance (Chapter 208) DOUBLE HAVEN AND OTHERS (SPECIAL AREAS) ORDER 2010 INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 19 October 2010, the Council ADVISED and the Chief Executive ORDERED that the Double Haven A and Others (Special Areas) Order 2010 (at Annex A) should be made under section 24(1) of the Country Parks Ordinance (the Ordinance). JUSTIFICATIONS The Proposal 2. Both country parks and special areas are designated under the Ordinance, and are subject to the same statutory protection and control. Country parks, however, usually cover larger areas. They are designated and managed for recreational, educational and nature conservation purposes, and are provided with facilities, such as hiking trails, barbecue and camping sites. On the other hand, special areas are of smaller sizes and higher conservation value, and are usually managed for nature conservation and educational uses only. 3. The majority of the land areas covered by the Hong Kong National Geopark (the Geopark) are already within the existing country parks designated under the Ordinance. However, there are some areas of the Geopark that still fall outside the country parks’ boundaries but are of high geological significance. In order to better protect these areas, we propose to designate them as special areas under the Ordinance. These five proposed Special Areas are all on unleased government land, covering a total of about 235 ha. The maps and explanatory statements of the five proposed Special Areas are given B in Annex B. A summary of the basic facts of the sites is as follows : 1 Special Area Special Geological interest Area (ha) Double Haven Part of Ap Chau and Ap Lo Chun in Double 0.8 Special Area Haven display sedimentary rocks of the Kat O Formation which offer excellent venues for studying breccia in the field.
