2.1
The
Kwu Tung North (KTN) and Fanling North (FLN) New Development Areas (NDAs) are
one of the important sources of land and housing supply in the medium and long
term. The development of the KTN and FLN NDAs will be implemented in phase for
full completion by 2031. The Phase 1 of the NDAs development, comprising the
Advance Works and First Stage Works, is targeted to be implemented from the
second half of 2019 progressively. The Advance and First Stage Works would
include site formation, engineering infrastructure works (including roads,
drainage, sewerage, waterworks, landscaping works, pumping stations, and fresh
water and flushing water service reservoirs), soil remediation, reprovisioning
of North District Temporary Wholesale Market, development of a nature park at
Long Valley and implementation of environmental mitigation measures.
2.2
The
scope of works under the Advance and First Stage Works comprises the following:
a)
The
Advance Works (PWP item No. 7747CL-2) consist of:
i)
site
formation of land (including soil remediation) in KTN and FLN NDAs for housing,
community facilities and engineering infrastructure;
ii)
construction
of roads including the eastern section of Fanling Bypass (FLBP(E)) connecting
the FLN NDA to Fanling Highway and other roads with footpaths and cycle tracks,
and associated junction/ road improvements;
iii)
engineering
infrastructure works including drainage. Sewerage (including two sewage pumping
stations), waterworks (including a fresh water service reservoir and a flushing
water service reservoir in the KTN NDA), landscape works and slopeworks;
iv)
part
expansion and upgrading of Shek Wu Hui Sewage Treatment Works (SWHSTW);
v)
reprovisioning
works; and
vi)
implementation
of environmental mitigation measures and environmental monitoring and audit
(EM&A) programme for the works mentioned in (i) to (v) above.
b)
The
First Stage Works (PWP item No. 7759CL) consist of:
i)
development
of a nature park at Long Valley including provision of a visitor centre and a
footbridge spanning across Sheung Yue River for connection between these two
facilities;
ii)
reprovisioning
of two egretry sites in the FLN NDA and enhancement works to an existing
egretry site in the KTN NDA;
iii)
site
formation of land for a village resite area and a district police station in
the KTN NDA;
iv)
engineering
infrastructure works including roads, drainage, sewerage, waterbirds, and
landscape works; and
v)
implementation
of environmental mitigation measures and environmental monitoring and audit
(EM&A) programme for the works mentioned in (i) to (iv) above.
2.3
The
Project which covers KTN and FLN NDAs is a designated project (DP) under
Schedule 3 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Ordinance (Cap. 499).
In October 2013, the EIA Report (AEIAR-175/2013) for the Project was approved
by the Director of Environmental Protection pursuant to the EIA Ordinance. The
relevant EPs under the Project and the respective Work Contracts are summarised
in Tables 2.1a and 2.1.b.
