34 • Sustainability Report 2012
In line with Hong Kong’s Environmental Impact
Assessment Ordinance (EIA Ordinance), we carry
out EIA studies before the development of any
major gas infrastructure project. These studies
look into the project’s impact on air quality, noise,
construction waste, water quality, any hazards
to life as well as potential effects on our cultural
heritage. Together with the input of consultants
and specialists, significant effort and time are
invested in these studies, which not only explore
the potential impact on the environment, but also
recommend appropriate mitigation measures.
The resulting EIA report is then submitted to
the Environmental Protection Department for
approval.
We are currently relocating a pair of submarine
gas pipelines fromTo KwaWan to North Point to
cope with the South East Kowloon Development.
Falling under this scheme, this project has gained
its Environmental Permit together with other
statutory approvals and licences.
