THE WORKS ARE EXPECTED TO START LATER THIS YEAR.
THE DREDGING IN A 2, 142.6-HECTARE AREA OF DEEP BAY HAS BEEN AUTHORISED UNDER THE FORESHORE AND SEA-BED (RECLAMATIONS) ORDINANCE.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE LANDS AND WORKS BRANCH SAID AUTHORISATION FOR THE DREDGING WORK TO PROCEED HAD BEEN GIVEN SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS. THESE INCLUDED MONITORING THE MARINE EFFECTS OF DREDGING ON THE ENVIRONMENT, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE OYSTERS IN DEEP BAY.
HE SAID THE BOUNDARY OF THE WORKS AREA HAD BEEN ADJUSTED TO AVOID AS FAR AS POSSIBLE ANY EFFECTS ON OYSTER BEDS.
+TAKEN TOGETHER WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS, THIS SHOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS CALMING THE WORRIES OF OYSTER FARMERS AS TO THE EFFECTS WHICH DREDGING WILL HAVE ON THEIR INDUSTRY,+
THE SPOKESMAN SAID DETAILS OF THE AREA AFFECTED BY THE DREDGING WERE IN TODAY'S (FRIDAY'S) ISSUE OF THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE.
A PLAN COULD ALSO BE SEEN AND PURCHASED IF REQUIRED AT THE SURVEY AND MAPPING OFFICE OF THE BUILDINGS AND LANDS DEPARTMENT ON THE FIFTH FLOOR, MURRAY BUILDING, GARDEN ROAD, HONG KONG, AS WELL AS AT YUEN LONG DISTRICT OFFICE, YUEN LONG DISTRICT LANDS OFFICE, TUEN MUN DISTRICT OFFICE AND TUEN MUN DISTRICT LANDS OFFICE.
ANY CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION SHOULD BE MADE IN WRITING TO THE DIRECTOR OF BUILDINGS AND LANDS BY MAY 7 NEXT YEAR.
