A study of the outline design and environmental
impact of the second landfill site in the North-East
New Territories is almost complete. Preparatory works
should begin in early 1991, with disposal of waste at
the site beginning in late 1993.
The third landfill site will be located at Junk
Bay to the north-east of Fat Tong Chau (Junk Island).
Work is in progress on the preliminary engineering
design and landfilling is expected to commence in late
1994.

The existing landfill sites at Shuen Wan, Pillar
Point Valley and Junk Bay will continue to be operated
until the three new facilities are commissioned.
It is intended that the Kennedy Town incinerator
should be closed down in 1992 when a refuse transfer
station is commissioned in the western part of Hong
Kong Island. In the meantime, electrostatic
precipitators have been installed at the plant.

Electrostatic precipitators significantly reduce the
