Schedule 2 Designated Project |
Designated Project Element under the Project |
|
|
Item A.1, Part I |
A road which is an expressway, trunk road, primary distributor road or district distributor road including new roads, and major extensions or improvements to existing roads.
|
The road sections under the Project comprises of: (i) construction of a new vehicular bridge next to existing K7A Vehicular Bridge. The new vehicular bridge will connect existing Waterloo Road northbound (N/B) to Lion Rock Tunnel Road N/B which are “trunk road” under TD’s classification, therefore, this new vehicular bridge is classified as “trunk road”. (ii) widening/re-alignment the existing roads including Lion Rock Tunnel Road which is considered as major extensions or improvement to existing roads.
|
|
Item A.7, Part I |
A road or railway tunnel more than 800 m in length between portals. |
(i) The proposed new tunnel is more than 800m in length between portals. (ii) Enlargement of the existing Kowloon bound tunnel, which is more than 800m in length between portals (an exempted DP).
|
|
Item Q1, Part I |
All projects including new access roads, railways, sewers, sewage treatment facilities, earthworks, dredging works and other building works partly or wholly in an existing country park.
|
The proposed re-aligned southbound LRT Road at Shatin area partly in existing Lion Rock Country Park. |
· the overall acceptability of any adverse environmental consequences that are likely to arise as a result of the Project;
· the conditions and requirements for the detailed design, construction and operation of the Project to mitigate against adverse environmental consequences wherever practicable; and
· the acceptability of residual impacts after the proposed mitigation measures are implemented.
(i) to describe the Project and associated works together with the requirements and environmental benefits for carrying out the Project;
(ii) to identify and describe the elements of the community and environment likely to be affected by the Project and/or likely to cause adverse impacts to the Project, including both the nature and man-made environment and the associated environmental constraints;
(iii) to identify and quantify emission sources and determine the significance of impacts on sensitive receivers and potential affected uses;
(iv) to identify and quantify potential waste management issues and impacts arising as a result of the construction and operation activities of the Project;
(v) to identify and quantify contaminated land within any Project Area for development works, and to propose measures to avoid disposal in the first instance;
(vi) to identify and quantify any potential ecological impacts arising from the construction and operation of the Project, including potential losses or damage to flora, fauna and natural habitats, and to propose measures to mitigate these impacts;
(vii) to identify any potential landscape and visual impacts and to propose measures to mitigate these impacts;
(viii) to identify any adverse impacts on cultural heritage and to propose measures to mitigate these impacts;
(ix) to identify potential hazard to life from Sha Tin Water Treatment Works (STWTW), which is a Potentially Hazardous Installation (PHI), and/or any other Notifiable Gas Installation (NGI) as defined in the Gas Safety Ordinance (Cap.51), and to propose mitigation measures;
(x) to propose the provision of infrastructure or mitigation measures so as to minimise pollution, environmental disturbance and nuisance during construction and operation of the Project;
(xi) to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness and implications of the proposed mitigation measures;
(xii) to identify, predict and evaluate the residual (i.e. after practicable mitigation) environmental impacts and the cumulative effects expected to arise during the construction and operation phases of the Project in relation to the sensitive receivers and potential affected uses;
(xiii) 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 residual environmental impacts and cumulative effects and reduce them to acceptable levels;
(xiv) to investigate the extent of the secondary environmental impacts that may arise from the proposed mitigation measures and to identify constraints associated with the mitigation measures recommended in the EIA study, as well as the provision of any necessary modification;
(xv) to design and specify the environmental monitoring and audit requirements; and
(xvi) to identify any additional studies necessary to implement the mitigation measures of monitoring and proposals recommended in the EIA Report.
