In going to the city areas, the former cluster relies more on Pokfulam Road and Victoria Road, and the latter on the Aberdeen Tunnel. The Southern District is the only remaining district Page 1 in Hong Kong with no rail service. 4. At present, traffic piles back from the Cross Harbour Tunnel and Causeway Bay daily in the peak hours and in turn causes congestion in the Aberdeen Tunnel.

  • Upgrading of Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works and Preliminary Treatment Works
    CB(1) 628/09-10(12) For discussion on 15 December 2009 Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs 341DS – Harbour Area Treatment Scheme, stage 2A – upgrading of Stonecutters Island sewage treatment works and preliminary treatment works PURPOSE Subsequent to approval by the Finance Committee (FC) for the upgrading of part of 341DS to Category A in June 2009, this paper seeks Members’ support for our proposal to upgrade the remaining part of 341DS to Category A at an estimated cost of $7,928.9 million in money-of-the-day (MOD) prices prior to submission to the Public Works Subcommittee (PWSC) for consideration with a view to seeking funding approval by the FC. BACKGROUND 2. The Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS) involves the implementation of an integrated sewerage system for collecting and treating sewage generated around the Victoria Harbour in an efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable manner. The implementation of HATS proceeds in two stages. Completed in 2001, HATS Stage 1 now collects 1.4 million cubic metres (m3) of sewage generated daily in Kowloon and north-eastern Hong Kong Island (representing about 75% of the total sewage generated from the harbour catchment) via deep tunnels to the Stonecutters Island sewage treatment works (SCISTW) for centralised treatment before disposal. 3. The remaining 450 000 m3 of sewage currently generated within the areas from North Point to Ap Lei Chau which are not handled by HATS Stage 1 (i.e. the remaining 25%) would be collected and transferred to the expanded SCISTW for centralised treatment under Stage 2A. Our aim is for HATS Stage 2A to be commissioned by end-2014.

BACKGROUND 2. To co-ordinate and enhance efforts among the relevant government departments in tackling the marine refuse problem, the Government set up an Inter-departmental Working Group on Clean Shorelines (the Working Group) in November 2012. In 2013-14, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) conducted a Marine Refuse Study (the Study) to investigate the sources, distribution and movement of marine refuse, and to suggest measures to further improve the cleanliness of our waters and shorelines. Findings of the Study were released and uploaded to the thematic website1 named “Clean Shorelines” in April 2015. The Panel on Environmental Affairs of the Legislative Council was briefed in June 2015 on the Study’s key findings and recommendations, with details set out in LC Paper No. CB(1)995/14-15(04). IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS OF IMPROVEMENT MEASURES 3. Having considered the recommendations made under the Study, member departments under the Working Group have been taking forward a series of specific actions since April 2015. They include enhancing efforts to remove refuse from the marine environment; providing support measures and facilities to reduce the amount of refuse entering the marine environment; launching publicity and educational campaigns; and conducting regulatory and enforcement actions. The progress of these efforts is summarised below. 1 The dedicated website “Clean Shorelines” can be accessed at: http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/clean_shorelines/ Enhanced Cleaning Efforts 4.
