  • LC Paper No. CB(1)648/19-20(05)
    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

  • For Information on 15 December 2009 Legislative Council Panel On
    For information On 15 December 2009 Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs Banning of Commercial Fishing in Marine Parks Purpose At the meeting on 23 November 2009, Members requested the Administration to provide the following information for Members’ reference- Background of the Proposal 2. Hong Kong has a diverse assemblage of marine organisms. The marine parks are set up to protect and conserve our marine environment for the purposes of conservation, education and recreation. 3. In order to better protect and conserve the marine resources in our marine parks, we propose to ban commercial fishing in marine parks. In fact, many overseas countries, including New Zealand and the Philippines, have set up marine protection areas in which fishing activities are prohibited. 4. This measure will not only improve the marine ecology and environment in the protected areas, but also that of the adjacent waters, enriching the fishery resources, and bringing benefits to the marine ecology and environment as a whole. Consultation 5. In the long run, banning of commercial fishing in marine parks could effectively improve the local marine ecology and environment. There are currently four marine parks in Hong Kong, with a total area of around 2,410 hectares, covering around 2% of Hong Kong waters. Should the policy initiative of banning commercial fishing in marine parks be implemented, fishing activities could still be carried out outside marine parks. In order to better understand how this proposal would affect the fishermen who are conducting fishing activities in marine parks, over the past few months, we have been consulting the relevant fishermen associations and fishermen to learn more about their concerns, as well as their suggestions.

Awareness of Hong Kong’s built heritage and its value is considered to have begun to increase around the time of the end of British rule. The change in Hong Kong’s sovereignty in 1997 prompted a search for its own identity, because while no longer under British rule, and not being nor becoming entirely Chinese, it was not immediately obvious what the emerging Hong Kong should put forward as its cultural identity. The question since that time has also become economically pertinent, as Hong Kong has developed into a major Asian tourist destination. As cultural tourism could be developed into one of the pillars of Hong Kong’s leisure economy, debate emerged on its identity and the built heritage it reflects. This article addresses the popular assumption that before 1997, heritage had been of little interest to Hong Kong’s governments, as articulated by Yung and Chan (2011), Henderson (2001) and Cheung (1999). This negligence was explained by the fact that Hong Kong’s population was growing exponentially through several waves of large-scale immigration, while being under an obviously temporary British government. This resulted in a heterogeneous population (Henderson, 2001) which had just migrated there and was more concerned about access to housing, employment and transportation than the history of the lands they were about to inhabit (Yung and Chan, 2011, 459).
