What is the annual expenditure and staffing for the monitoring and management of respective landfills? Please provide the breakdown by post. Asked by : Hon. CHOY So-yuk Reply : The details for the old landfills where the main restoration works have been completed are provided below. Please note that even when the main restoration works have been completed, the landfills will continue to generate landfill gas and leachate for a very long time as degradation of waste proceeds for many years. It should be noted that restoration is an on-going process and resources are required to operate and maintain the restoration works to ensure that the sites would not pose any hazard to the adjacent environment. Gototop 0052 The main restoration works for the Shuen Wan Landfill in Tai Po were completed in December 1997. The estimated expenditure in 2003-04 for the operation and maintenance of these works is $4.8 million and 0.5 Environmental Protection Officer (EPO), 1 Senior Environmental Protection Inspector (SEPI) and 2 Environmental Protection Inspectors (EPI) are provided for the monitoring and management of this landfill. While the restoration process will be ongoing for many years, the site has been developed for a beneficial interim after use and has been used as a golf driving range since April 1999. The main restoration works for the Sai Tso Wan Landfill in Kwun Tong were completed in May 1998. The construction of a multi-purpose grass pitch for football and baseball at the landfill has just commenced.

This will be increased to $6.1 million per annum when the grass pitch is open to the public in March 2004 but the staffing for the monitoring and management of this landfill will remain as 0.2 EPO, 0.2 SEPI and 0.6 EPI.
