Sir, given that there are
inadequate
dumping sites, would the Government consider
the Government consider employing barges
to move these materials to the sea and dump them?
and Works
Sir, ::
we have three marine Secretary for Lands dumping sites in different places: one at Cheung Chau, one east of Nine Pin, and one at Mirs Bay; but suitable dumping sites are fairly rare commodities, and they are reserved for dredged
mud. If we were to use these sites for general dumping,
then they would be used up very much more quickly than would be
desirable, so I don't think that that one
sea
is likely to be an
answer.
I believe
that the
dumping sites
it might be
at
Ma On
Shan
are
not causing
albeit not
as as convenient
vast amount of environmental problems, or particularly, traffic
problems,
in
view of the number of times
per day and
the
direction in which the lorries go.
