The actual expenditure was $539.4 million, 69.8% below the approved allocation of $1,787.1 million. 2. For Subhead 1004CA, the underspending was mainly due to land title problems of a number of claimants and therefore the compensation payments to them have been held up. 3. For Subhead 1100CA, the underspending was mainly due to failure to reach agreement on the compensation claims in relation to the Penny’s Bay Reclamation Project and slippage of a number of projects. 4. Details on the key expenditure items for each of the above subheads are set ⎯⎯⎯ out at Annexes 1A and 1B respectively.

  • RDFC Paper No. 7/2020 Annex 4
    Annex IV Environmental Hygiene Problem in Stanley and Shek O During Holidays Responses by Relevant Government Departments (a) Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) has all along been committed to keeping country parks clean and promoting the protection of countryside to the public. AFCD launched the “Take Your Litter Home” publicity and education programme in 2015 in collaboration with a number of local partner organisations to encourage the public to nurture a good habit of taking away their own waste after hiking or visiting country parks, and all litter containers and recycling bins along the hiking trails within country parks have been removed by the end of 2017. Since the launch of the “Take Your Litter Home” publicity and education programme, it has been effective in enhancing the public awareness towards waste reduction and environmental conservation during their visit to the countryside. Noting that many members of the public visited the country parks recently, AFCD has agilely deployed manpower to step up site inspections and cleansing, and provided litter containers of large volume at specific sites for the use of visitors where necessary. Regarding the situation of Tai Tam Country Park and Shek O Country Park, AFCD has deployed staff and cleansing contractors for carrying out daily cleansing at recreational sites and hiking trails inside the concerned country parks. If serious litter problem is found at individual locations, AFCD also stepped up cleansing effort as appropriate. In addition, AFCD has also strengthened education and publicity efforts through various channels, including displaying banners and posters in country park areas with high visitor flow, urging visitors to maintain environmental hygiene through radio programmes and advertisements at MTR, further promoting “Take Your Litter Home” and good hiking manners, and publicising relevant messages through the networks of non-governmental organisations and partner organisations.

    EPD - Beach Water Quality Beach Water Quality in Hong Kong 2014 Our Mission: To safeguard the health and welfare of the community and meet conservation goals by working to achieve and maintain the Water Quality Objective for bathing beaches [Photo: Beaches in Hong Kong are popular places for both local people and tourists to enjoy their leisure time] Introduction Hong Kong has many beautiful and attractive beaches with white sands along its long and twisting coastline. Each year, millions of beach-goers enjoy bathing in these beaches with clean water. The objective of the Environmental Protection Department (EPD)'s Beach Water Quality Monitoring Programme is to monitor beach water quality and protect the health of bathers. The background and details of the EPD's monitoring activities can be found at its Hong Kong Water Quality Resource Centre (HKWQRC) website (http://wqrc.epd.gov.hk) or its beach water quality thematic website (http://www.beachwq.gov.hk). [Photo: The beach is a perfect place for kids to play and enjoy sunshine] This report summarises the beach monitoring data collected in 2014, the gradings of the beaches and their annual compliance with the Water Quality Objective (WQO) for bathing beaches. In 2014, the EPD monitored 41 gazetted beaches and three non-gazetted beaches in different parts of the territory. The gazetted beaches were monitored weekly during the bathing season from March to October. EPD staff made field observations and collected samples for laboratory analyses of Escherichia coli (E. coli) as the bacteriological water quality indicator. EPD staff also took measurements of dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, temperature and turbidity of beach water.
