HKBWS urges you to submit an OBJECTION to the approval of the Sha Lo Tung EIA report. Some reasons are stated below. Please use your own words or add your own comments, or the duplicated comments may be treated as "ONE set of comment":
1. The Development Site (4 ha) is located at a seasonal stream with many species of conservation interest, the description of the EIA report is incorrect;
2. The improvement of Sha Lo Tung Road will destroy about 16 ha of woodland, causing roadkill of animals, and affect the hikers using Sha Lo Tung Road;
3. The EIA report has not reviewed the secondary impacts resulted from the future habitat management on bird species of conservation interest, such as Slaty-legged Crake;
4. The report has not considered possible alternatives such as moving the development away from the Sha Lo Tung Valley, and therefore it does not comply with the Ordinance. 5. Please add your own comments!
The deadline is 19 June 2012 (Tuesday). Please send comments by e-mail to EPD at eiaocomment@epd.gov.hkAuthor: lrichard Time: 19/06/2012 13:00
