Cross-boundary Transport Hub at Siu Ho Wan Background Siu Ho Wan is strategically located close to the North Lantau Highway Connection (NLHC) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and has the potential to serve as a transport interchange for cross-boundary traffic. A possible location of the cross-boundary transport hub is at MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot. The depot occupies 30 ha of land, with flexibility built into the design for retrofitting development above the depot. MTR access to Siu Ho Wan on the Tung Chung Line could be provided by the construction of an additional station, subject to Government’s approval for the station and authorization under the relevant Ordinance. The cross-boundary transport hub has the potential to be a major transport interchange, providing park-and-ride facilities, a MTR station and a public transport interchange.

Other than housing, the Plan placed emphasis on tourism, economic infrastructure and nature conservation. In the adjoining areas of Tung Chung, there are several large-scale infrastructure projects in progress or in the pipeline, such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge ("HZMB"), the Tuen 1 The Concept Plan can be downloaded at the following hyperlink: http://www.pland.gov.hk/pland_en/lantau/en/revised/index.html 2 The current population of Tung Chung New Town is about 80 000. (Source: Website on Tung Chung New Town Extension) - 2 - Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link ("TM-CLKL") and the third runway for the Hong Kong International Airport ("HKIA").

    LC Paper No. CB(1)648/19-20(05) For discussion on 26 May 2020 Legislative Council Panel on Development Management of Typhoon Season Flood Risk Purpose This paper aims to brief Members on the flood risk in Hong Kong in the typhoon season1 and the corresponding management measures being taken by the Government. Flood Risk in Hong Kong 2. During the typhoon season, Hong Kong is from time to time threatened by inclement weather such as prolonged heavy rains and typhoons. The average annual rainfall is about 2 400 millimetres (mm), making Hong Kong one of the highest rainfall cities in the Pacific Rim2. Over the past five years, on yearly-average there are over 20 rainstorms which warrant the issuance of the rainstorm warning signal 3 , and six tropical cyclones, including the super typhoons Hato (2017) and Mangkhut (2018). 3. For the weather outlook this year, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) forecasted in March 2020 that there would be four to seven tropical cyclones coming within 500 kilometres (km) of Hong Kong this year, more or less the same as the figures of previous years. HKO expected that the annual rainfall would be normal to below normal, but the territory may still be affected by heavy rains. 1 In general, May to November of every year is the typhoon season of Hong Kong. 2 The Pacific Rim is a general term for the surrounding countries including islands in the Pacific region. 3 HKO’s rainstorm warning system is for alerting the public about the soon occurrence of heavy rain and to ensure a state of readiness for performing emergency duties any moment within the organisations and departments providing emergency services.

  • 10 Water Quality Impact 10-1
    MTR Corporation Ltd. SCL- NEX/2206 EIA Study for Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section Final Environmental Impact Assessment Report 10 Water Quality Impact 10.1 Introduction This chapter presents the assessment of potential water quality impacts, which may arise during the construction and operation of the SCL - Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section. Construction runoff, sediment dredging, sewage from site workforce, drainage diversion are potential water pollution sources during the construction phase. Operational water quality impact includes track run-off and tunnel seepage. Mitigation measures have been proposed to alleviate the potential water quality impact. Adverse residual impacts during the construction and operational phases are not anticipated. 10.2 Legislation, Standards and Guidelines The relevant legislation and associated guidance applicable to the present study for the assessment of water quality impacts include: • Water Pollution Control Ordinance (WPCO) CAP 358, Water Quality Objectives (WQOs) for the Tolo Harbour and Channel Water Control Zone (THCWCZ) and Victoria Harbour Water Control Zone (VHWCZ); • Technical Memorandum for Effluents Discharged into Drainage and Sewerage Systems Inland and Coastal Waters (TM-Water), Effluents discharge limits for the Tolo Harbour Water Control Zone and Victoria Harbour Water Control Zone; • Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) (Cap. 499), Technical Memorandum on Environmental Impact Assessment Process (TM-EIAO); • ProPECC PN 5/93 “Drainage Plan subject to Comment by the Environmental Protection
