1.           Purpose

In accordance with Condition 2.4(a) of the FEP-01/292/2007, Veolia Services Hong Kong Limited (Veolia) shall no later than four weeks before commencement of construction of the Project, deposit a report documenting the implementation of the following mitigation measures for preservation of the cultural landscape features located within the Project area. The report shall be certified by the Environmental Team (ET) Leader and verified by the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC) as conforming to the information and recommendations contained in the approved EIA Report:

-   Carry out survey and mapping work to identify sections of boulder paths BP1 and BP2 as shown in Figure 2 attached to the Permit that fall within the Project area, and preservation by detailed record for sections of boulder paths that fall within the Project area.


 

2.           Methodology

The Environmental Manager of Veolia visited the 2 boulder paths BP1 and BP2 together with 3 surveyors of Paul Y. Construction & Engineering Co. Limited (PYE). A few survey reference points along the initial sections of the 2 boulder paths, closest to the NENTX, were taken by the surveyors. Then the surveyed sections of the 2 boulder paths were plotted on the site layout plan of NENTX, overlaying with the exact NENTX site boundaries and the remaining sections of the 2 boulder paths shown on Figure 2 of the FEP-01/292/2007 to obtain an updated layout plan “NENTX-VES-DW-C-ZZ-003-1” Boulder Paths Survey and Mapping Layout Plan attached as Appendix 1. Table 1 of the next Section summarized the Survey and Mapping results.

4.           Verification Survey

The 2 boulder paths BP1 and BP2 were revisited by the Environmental Manager of Veolia again with another surveyor of PYE on 23 August 2022.  The site boundaries closest to the boulder paths were demarcated by wooden poles and the survey and mapping results recorded on 25 April 2022 were verified by the surveyor.  The verification survey results are summarized as Table 3 below.  Surveying equipment calibration certificate is attached as Appendix 2.

5.           Conclusion

 

The survey and mapping works carried out on 25 April 2022 and the verification survey carried out on 23 August 22 confirmed that both of the 2 boulder paths BP1 and BP2 are fall outside the site boundary and the Project area.  As there is no section of boulder paths fall within the Project area, no preservation by detailed record is necessary.


6.           Protection Measures of Boulder Paths

 

Permanent fencing was constructed along the site boundary of NENTX in March 2023 and the boulder paths are protected from the construction works and activities of NENTX Project.
