Potential Impact on Environment and Local Community
• Critical environmental impact: air quality, water quality, fisheries, fish
nursery ground, water quality of coastal protection area and coral areas to
the north of Lamma Island, coral areas to the west of Hong Kong Island, the
beaches at the southern Hong Kong Island, visual and landscape impact, etc.

emissions from Lamma Power Station.
• Potential noise impact on future development due to departure flight path of
HK International Airport and helicopter flight path to Macau.
• Impact on dispersion and dilution of HATS discharge and water quality of
East Lamma Channel and West Lamma Channel due to substantial
