1.                  Introduction

1.1.             Background

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report (Register No.: AEIAR-196/2016) prepared for the “Tung Chung New Town Extension” (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”) has been approved by the Director of Environmental Protection, and an Environmental Permit (EP) (Permit No.: EP-519/2016) has been issued for the project under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance.  This submission of Waste Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with Condition 2.24 of the EP and includes at least the following information:

(i) arrangements for avoidance, minimization, recovery, recycling, reuse, storage, collection, treatment and disposal of different categories of waste to be generated from the construction activities;

(ii) the recommended mitigation measures on waste management contained in the approved EIA report (Register No. AEIAR-196/2016);

(iii) maximization of the use of C&D materials for the land formation work during the construction phase of the Project;

(iv) critical review of the scheduling of the surcharge operations to avoid, or otherwise, minimize generation of residual C&D materials requiring disposal during and at the end of the land formation work;

(v) designated disposal location(s) for all surplus excavated spoil and other wastes;

(vi) all dump trucks engaged on site to be equipped with GPS or equivalent automatic system for real time tracking and monitoring of their travel routings and parking locations to prohibit illegal dumping and landfilling of C&D materials;

(vii) proposals for record and analysis of data collected by GPS or equivalent automatic system relating to travel routings and parking locations of dump trucks engaged on site;

(viii) reporting of illegal dumping and landfilling of C&D materials outside the designated disposal locations by the Surveillance Team appointed under Condition 2.6; and

(ix) follow-up actions to be taken by the Contractor and dump truck drivers for committing suspected offences relating to illegal dumping and landfilling of C&D materials..

The development of Tung Chung New Town Extension (TCNTE), comprising Tung Chung East (TCE) and Tung Chung West (TCW), is a mega-scale and complex project aiming to provide land to meet the future housing economic and social development needs of Hong Kong.  Due to the fact that the proposed works are geographically separated, the implementation of mega-scale Project is divided into two packages, namely TCE and TCW respectively. In accordance with the tight delivery programme, the Project will be implemented in phases under separate contracts for the developments of TCE and TCW. This submission only covers the Waste Management Plan for TCE. The WMP for TCW can be found at the dedicated project website: https://www.env.tcnte-west.hk/en/ep-submissions.html.
