Impact on CULTURAL
HERITAGE
Marine Archaeology
10.1.1 The recent 2007 MAI concluded no
further MAI is necessary, yet it did not preclude the possibility that there
could be items buried within the Marine Deposit which may be exposed by the
dredging works. It is therefore recommended that the dredging contractor(s)
should monitor the dredged spoils from those marine works that caused significant
impact to the seabed. Guidelines for the Monitoring Brief have been prepared in
consultation with the AMO and are attached as Appendix D.
Marine works in KTD that may cause significant impact to the seabed include the
dredging works for the immersed tunnel section of CKR at To Kwa Wan, dredging
works for the relocation of the Hong Kong China Gas (HKCG) submarine main,
dredging works for the proposed cruise terminal, and dredging works for the
immersed tunnel section of Road T2 (including the dredging required for the
associated reconstruction of a section of the existing Kwun Tong submarine
outfall). Details of the impacts and the recommended mitigation measures
for the dredging works for proposed cruise terminal are presented in the
corresponding approved EIA Report (EIAO Register No.: AEIAR-115/2007).
Whereas the impacts and mitigation measures required for CKR, HKCG submarine
main relocation, and Road T2 will be examined under the respective Schedule 2
EIA study.
Terrestrial Archaeology
10.1.2 Further archaeological investigation
and rescue excavation will be undertaken at Trench AA3. Whereas for Trench AA5,
preservation in situ of all identified sections of the Longjin Pier will
be required after the completion of further archaeological investigation.
The implementation of the works will be undertaken by the Hong Kong Government.
Built Heritage
10.1.3 No monitoring and audit programme
specific for built heritage would be required.
