Pak Shek Kok to be used as public dump

The Government intends to use about 89 hectares of foreshore and sea-bed in Tolo Harbour near Pak Shek Kok for disposal of surplus construction material that is suitable for reclamation.

A government spokesman said a total of 68 hectares of land would be formed.

"The findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment Study have concluded that the implementation of the project, with suitable mitigation measures, is environmentally acceptable." he said.

Work will commence in September and scheduled for completion in seven to eight years.

The extent of the area affected is contained in a notice published in the Government Gazette today (Friday).

Any person who considers that his interest, right or easement in or over the foreshore and seabed involved would be injuriously affected may submit a written claim for compensation to the Director of Lands on or before March 15, 1997.
