OVERVIEW 2. The Government has launched a policy initiative of Pier Improvement Programme (PIP), aiming to upgrade the structural safety and facilities of a number of existing public piers at remote areas in the New Territories and outlying islands, with a view to enhancing accessibility of some scenic spots and natural heritage as well as meeting the basic needs of local villagers relying on boats as their main transportation mode or fishermen’s operation. We are implementing the first phase of PIP covering ten public piers in full swing. Among them, the construction works for Pak Kok Pier on Lamma Island started in April 2020, the design work of Kau Sai Village Pier in Sai Kung District and Lai Chi Chong Pier in Tai Po District has been substantially completed, and the remaining piers are continuing with the design work at full speed. In view that the public welcome and support the implementation of PIP, we have advanced to kick off the second phase of PIP to enhance another 13 public piers, and the associated engineering feasibility studies would commence progressively from mid of this year.

In 1991 Workman used the term Abstract “volcaniclastic” to identify the rock in west shore of Lai Chi Chong pier. Eight lithofacies were divided by the rock texture, color and sedimentary structures, He pointed out that the exposed rocks and include Facies 1: Massive Black Cherty structures could explain in terms of intermittent Mudstone, Facies 2: Interbedding Pale Tuffite sedimentation in shallow water with and Dark Mudstone, Facies 3: Parallel contemporaneous volcanic activity and attendant Laminated Fine Sandstone and Mudstone, ground movements. Facies 4: Parallel laminated Coarse Sandstone, Facies 5: Reddish Yellow Ungraded Sandstone, Facies 6: Graded Volcanic Sandstone, Facies 7: Yellowish Green Tuffite and Facies 8: Pebbly Volcanic Sandstone. The bioturbation of rock of west Lai Chi Chong pier is not obvious. It implicates an anoxic aquatic environment.
