Environment council visits Chek Lap Kok and Sha Chau
The Advisory Council on the Environment (ACE) today (Friday) visited the new airport works site at Chek Lap Kok and the surrounding waters of Sha Chau where interim aviation fuel receiving facilities are being constructed.
ACE chairman, Mr Peter Wong, said members of the council toured the airport terminal building and were briefed by the Airport Authority on the progress of works, the environmental management measures at Chek Lap Kok, such as air quality monitoring and noise and dust control, and the conservation work carried out in the peripheral area.
"We are impressed by the cleanliness of the works site in spite of the intensive construction work being carried out at the moment," he said.
"We also saw the interim aviation fuel receiving facilities under construction in Sha Chau and were briefed on the environmental mitigation measures being implemented."
The visit was organised by the Airport Authority to show to the ACE the environmental mitigation measures to date and the authority's environmental programmes for the future operating airport.
