The Project forms part of the Tuen Mun Area 38 development. The proposed development of Area 38 includes the River Trade Terminal (RTT) and Area 38 c Special Industrial Area (SIA), which are scheduled for completion in 1999 and 2002 respectively. [ The Foothills Bypass and associated road works which are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2001, are being implemented to overcome anticipated traffic problems within Tuen Mun, due to the proposed developments of the RTT [ and SIA. The Bypass is primarily required to provide an alternative route for traffic, thereby diverting traffic away from various residential areas in Tuen Mun and in particular, to mitigate the environmental impact on Lung Mun Road. The [ road improvement works will provide the additional traffic capacity necessary to service the proposed SIA and RTT developments. [ ERM is responsible for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as part of the Foothills Bypass Study. The purpose of the EIA is to identify and evaluate the potential impacts on the surrounding environment arising from the [ construction and operation of the Bypass and improvement works in relation to servicing Area 38, and to examine and evaluate mitigation measures on environmental, engineering and cost effectiveness grounds, and recommend an [ optimum package for implementation. SWK and ERM have worked on a number of projects within the Study Area. The [ most recent of these projects is the Reclamation and Servicing ofTuen Mun Area 38 for Special Industries - Improvement to Roads and Junctions within Tuen Mun Environmental Impact Assessment (Road Improvement EIA). The Road Improvement EIA was commissioned by the Highways Department in 1995, to assess the r potential environmental impacts associated with the improvement to roads and junctions within Tuen Mun in relation to the Area 38 Study. A noise mitigation [ package comprising noise enclosures, barriers, cantilever barriers and low noise road surfacing was recommended to benefit residents in the vicinity of Wong Chu Road. The results and recommendations of the Road Improvement EIA [ have been presented to Tuen Mun District Board in February 1996 and endorsed by the Advisory Council on Environment (ACE) in May 1~96. L 1.2 STUDYAREA The Foothills Bypass EIA covers the same Study Area as the Road Improvement EIA L and therefore, those works previously assessed and endorsed under the Road Improvement EIA will not be revisited. Works that were not assessed under the L ERM-HONG KONG, LTD TERRITORY DEVELOPMENT OEPARTMEl'o'T 1 r \ L Road Improvement EIA include the Junction at Wu Shan and Wu King Roads, the road works associated with the widening of Wong Chu Road Bridge over the [i Tuen Mun Nullah and the southernmost section of the alignment. Consequently, the Foothills Bypass EIA will focus on that part of the Study Area [ which was not assessed by the Road Improvement EIA and any new and/ or changed engineering design details (Le., the Wong Chu Road Bridge works). Please refer to Figure 1.2a, which identifies that section of the Foothills Bypass [ Study Area which was already assessed and endorsed in the Road Improvement EIA as well as the current Foothills Bypass EIA Study Area. [ 1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT [ The objective of the ErA is to identify and evaluate the potential impacts on the surrounding environment arising from the construction and operation of the Bypass and improvement works in relation to servicing Area 38, and to examine [ and evaluate mitigation measures on environmental, engineering and cost effectiveness grounds, and recommend an optimum package for implementation. The ErA consolidates all the environmental assessment [ findings, including comments from Government covering all the important environmental issues. The ErA also includes the general requirements of the Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) Study which will be necessary to [ ensure the implementation and effectiveness of the adopted environmental protection and pollution control measures. Specific EM&A requirements are discussed in the EM&A Manual. [ Specific objectives of the ErA are as follows: [ (a) to describe the proposed Project and associated works together with the requirements for carrying out the proposed Project; . [ (b) to identify and describe the elements of the community and environment likely to be affected by the proposed Project; [ (c) to identify and quantify emission sources and determine the significance of impacts on sensitive receivers and potential affected uses; [ (d) to identify and quantify any potential losses or damage to flora, fauna and natural habitats; [ (e) to propose the provision of mitigation measures so as to minimize pollution, environmental disturbance and nuisance during construction and operation of the Project; (f) to identify, predict and evaluate the residual (Le., after practicable mitigation) environmental impacts and cumulative effects expected to arise during the construction and operational phases of the Project in [ relation to the sensitive receivers and potential affected uses; (g) to identify, assess and specify methods, measures and standards, to be [ included in the detailed design, construction and operation of the Project which are necessary to mitigate these impacts and reduce them to acceptable levels; L l ERM-HONG KONG, LTD TERRITORY DEVELO~E;-.rr DEPARTMENT 2 --, ,---. ---, ;---, '--, ~ r~: [ , '-,L ___ I __) :.

  • Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 33, © 1998 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W. Wong Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Horn, Kowloon, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]. hk Abstract Hong Kong's new airport at Chek Lap Kok is scheduled to open on July 6, 1998. At present, construction of all major projects is either at the last stage or in completion. Tung Chung New Town, one of the Airport Core Programme (ACP), has been initially set up for housing 216,000 people by 2006 and providing living area for servicing staff of the new airport. Based on the case study on the development of Tung Chung New Town, this paper illustrates the relationship between transport system and land use development. In the paper, referring to many survey data and research results, the development of Tung Chung New Town is shown to be essential due to the relocation of the Hong Kong Airport. On the other hand, comparing with other new towns in Hong Kong, Tung Chung New Town is provided with better transport system links that minimize the travel time and improve the comfort and accessibility to other parts of the territory. This makes Tung Chung New Town a more attractive new town for people to reside. 1 Introduction In the past twenty years, the Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak has commenced a series of improvement to cater for the continuous growth in passengers and cargo.

Greeting There is a general misconception that the word “safe” in a Safe Community only applies to the work environment. But in fact, people should pay more attention to every aspect of their lives, no matter how minor it is. Tuen Mun was inaugurated as the first safe community in Hong Kong on 21 March 2001. I hope this can act as a bridge between us and other communities, and serves as a communication channel for the residents in Tuen Mun so that they can get to know more about the project as well as details of the activities. As the Chairman of the Tuen Mun District Council, I will work closely with my colleagues and give full support to the “Safe Community”. We will liaise with various government departments, major corporations, schools and social groups to ensure the concept of safe community reaches every corner of the community. I hope Tuen Mun will become a designated safe community that is recognized by the World Health Organization. And more importantly, Tuen Mun will be a safe and healthy home and workplace for our next generation. The Honourable Lau Wong-fat, GBS, JP Patron of Tuen Mun Safe Community / Chairman of Tuen Mun District Council Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China 2 Accreditation report for Tuen Mun Safe Community of Hong Kong II.
