FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1990
CONSULTATION WITH INDUSTRY HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER. THE GOVERNMENT IS CONTINUING ITS DIALOGUE WITH INTERESTED INDUSTRIAL ORGANISATIONS, ESPECIALLY ON PRACTICAL ASPECTS CONCERNING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ORDINANCE, MR LEWIS SAID.
THE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ORDINANCE WAS FIRST ENACTED 10 YEARS AGO. BUT THE CONTROLS WERE EFFECTED IN THE TOLO WCZ IN APRIL 1987 ONLY.
IN THE LIGHT OF THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE TOLO WCZ AND IN VIEW OF THE CONTINUING DETERIORATION IN THE QUALITY OF THE MAJORITY OF HONG KONG WATERS, A COMPREHENSIVE CONSULTANT'S STUDY OF THE ORDINANCE WAS COMMISSIONED IN 1987.
+
THE CONSULTANT'S FINAL REPORT CONTAINED SOME WIDE-RANGING RECOMMENDATIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY CONSIDERED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
PROPOSALS TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE MADE ON THE BASIS OF THE CONSULTANT'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE GENERAL POLICY OBJECTIVE OF IMPROVING WATER QUALITY WERE SUBMITTED TO, AND ENDORSED BY, THE
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN MAY LAST YEAR.
