I dont think their are wrong, but they seem to misunderstand what the birds watcher needs and fail to know how to develop their own land in a sustainable way. And i think this is the mail problem of HK environment Logged Fred BBS Member BBS God Birds are fascinating!     Posts: 254 Re: 尖鼻咀堆填  Dumping at Tsim Bei Tsui « Reply #6 on: Jan 10th, 2006, 7:36pm » Quote Modify They may have good intention even if it also includes some commercial elements to sustain the idea. Hopefully relevant authorities and environment groups can work out with them a win-win solution.   « Last Edit: Jan 10th, 2006, 7:37pm by Fred » Logged LUN BBS Member BBS Senior Member I love bird watching!     Posts: 81 Re: 尖鼻咀堆填  Dumping at Tsim Bei Tsui « Reply #7 on: Jan 11th, 2006, 11:24pm » Quote Modify One more  dumping report: Near KAM SHEUNG RD between LAI UK TSUEN and DAO UK TSUEN.  I saw it on the KMB, Route No.: 64K.

Villagers often use such excuses to hide the reality - they want to build more small houses or make space for open storage without seeking permission.   The site at Sha Kiu in  Tsim Bei Tsui is zoned as"Coastal Protection Area" and any dumping must have permission from the town planning board to change the zoning first.   Also it is not permitted to knock down mangroves or to dump construction and demolition waste, or to fill in a fish pond.   Another dumping site was found in the same area on Tuesday, but closer to Lau Fau Shan, where the dumping of constrcution waste was witnessed, but could not be stopped.   If you witness such incidents please try to get the number of the truck and record the exact time of the dumping.     It is sometimes possible to trace the waste to a construction site, and the site manager has responsibility for proper disposal of waste. If it is not being properly disposed the site engineer is responsible for failing to enforce the trip ticket system, which is supposed to control the dumping of construction waste.   KFBG will continue to monitor this issue very closely.   Logged Mike Kilburn Vice Chairman Chairman - ConservationCommittee HKBWS Fred BBS Member BBS God Birds are fascinating!     Posts: 254 Re: 尖鼻咀堆填  Dumping at Tsim Bei Tsui « Reply #9 on: Jan 13th, 2006, 12:20am » Quote Modify Thanks to Mike for enlightening me and please excuse me for being naive in environmental protection regulations. I can understand what position to take now and will help to halt illegitimate dumping as briefed.     Logged Captain BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 134 Re: 尖鼻咀堆填  Dumping at Tsim Bei Tsui « Reply #10 on: Jan 24th, 2006, 4:49pm » Quote Modify Plan Dept's formal reply to an enquiry from KFBG revealed that an Enforcement Notice was issued to the person responsible on 14 Nov 2005.     A reinstatement notice (RN) was subsequently issued on 13 Dec 2005. Further prosecution action will be taken if they cannot comply the requirement of RN by 13 March 2006.   Regarding another similar case near Wan Fou Sin Koon (雲浮仙觀), Lau Fau Shan, a warning letter was sent on 30 Dec 2005. As the pond filling work was continuing after sending the letter, an Enforcement Notice will be issued shortly.   So, Planning Dept is undertaking actions. Pls feel free to report any similar cases here in future.   Captain Logged Fred BBS Member BBS God Birds are fascinating!     Posts: 254 Re: 尖鼻咀堆填  Dumping at Tsim Bei Tsui « Reply #11 on: Jan 24th, 2006, 10:16pm » Quote Modify It will take one whole migration season to proceed to the prosecution stage.  Very slow though it is better than none.   Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題 => Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
