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.
