included road, rail and water-borne transport. The report on the Comprehensive Transportation Study was issued during the year under review.
3.13 The recommendations given in these two reports, together with the traffic data obtained from the 321 counting stations throughout the territory, are used by the Highways Office to formulate programmes for construction and improvement and to recommend a priority ranking for the proposed projects.
Drainage and Water Pollution Control Projects
3.14 Regular monitoring of harbour and beach waters and bottom sediments is continued to measure the pollution levels and their trends as well as the effects of marine disposal of sewage and trade effluents. This is a long-term operation and the results are utilized in the planning of sewage treatment and disposal works.
3.15 The preparation of a programme plan to identify the needs for sewage treatment and disposal in the territory over the next ten years is in hand.
3.16 The spare capacities of major existing stormwater and sewerage systems are kept under constant review with a view to determining the need and programme for improvements where necessary to cope with development.
Sewage Treatment Projects and Solid Waste Disposal Projects
3.17 Reclamation of the site for the Sewage Treatment Plant at Sha Tin was progressing and tenders for the civil engineering and building works were called towards the end of the year. Following acceptance of the Report on Sewage Treatment and Disposal for North West Kowloon, consultants were appointed during the year to undertake design of the Stage I works. Preliminary investigation work on the Sha Tin Refuse Composting Plant and Sai Tso Wan High Density Baling Plant were completed and Reports were received from the consultants and circulated to interested departments. Implementation of these 2 projects will now follow in accordance with the 10-year Solid Waste Disposal Programme.
3.18 Experimental work continued at the pilot sewage treatment plant at Shek Wu Hui. This study will yield valuable data for the selection of treatment processes and design of future sewage treatment plants in the territory.
Port Works
3.19 The planning of marine structures such as piers, breakwaters, seawalls and beacons is carried out broadly in accordance with a 5-year programme of work. This programme is based on the requirements for marine facilities, but takes into account their importance in relation to the many other items in Public Works Programme.
