DUMP AREA IN SAI KUNG TO BE ENLARGED
The area of the spoil dump at Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung, is
to be extended from 4.7 acres, as originally planned, to 7.2 acres.
The spoil dump is used for depositing surplus material
arising from tunnelling operations connected with the High Island
Water Scheme.
Apart from providing sites for recreational or institutional
uses, the reclaimed land will be used for a pipeline crossing
associated with the main tunnel system as well as a vehicular access
road to a tunnel portal.
The construction cost of the 25-mile tunnel system, which
ranges from six feet to 13 feet in diameter, is $3 million.
A notification under the Public Reclamations and Works
Ordinance in the Government Gazette today fully describes the
boundaries of the proposed spoil dump.
It stipulates that all persons having any objection to the
proposed reclamation or any claims of private right in the matter
should submit such objections or claims in writing to the Director
of Public Works within two months of the date of Notification.
The Notification, both in English and Chinese, can also be
seen on Notice Board posted near the site.
