2.1 Background

The Organic Resources Recovery Centre (ORRC) Phase I development (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”) is to design, construct and operate a biological treatment facility with a capacity of about 200 tonnes per day and convert source-separated organic waste from commercial and industrial sectors (mostly food waste) into compost and biogas through proven biological treatment technologies.

The environmental acceptability of the construction and operation of the Project had been confirmed by findings of the associated Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study completed in 2009. The Director of Environmental Protection approved this EIA Report under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO) (Cap. 499) in February 2010 (Register No.: AEIAR-149/2010) (hereafter referred to as the approved EIA Report). Subsequent Report on Re-assessment on Environmental Implications and Report on Re-assessment on Hazard to Life Implications were completed in 2013, respectively.

An Environmental Permit (EP) (No. EP-395/2010) was issued by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) to the EPD, the Permit Holder, on 21 June 2010 and varied on 18 March 2013 (No. EP-395/2010/A) and 21 May 2013 (No. EP-395/2010/B), respectively. The Design Build and Operate Contract for the ORRC (Contract No. EP/SP/61/10 Organic Resources Recovery Centre Organic Resources Recovery Centre (Phase I)) was awarded to SITA Waste Services Limited, ATAL Engineering Limited and Ros-Roca, Sociedad Anonima jointly trading as the OSCAR Bioenergy Joint Venture (OSCAR or the Contractor). A Further EP (No. FEP-01/395/2010/B) was issued by the EPD to the OSCAR on 16 February 2015. Variation to both EPs No. EP-395/2010/B and No. FEP-01/395/2010/B were made in December 2015. The latest EPs, No. EP-395/2010/C and No. FEP-01/395/2010/C, were issued by the EPD on 21 December 2015.

Under the requirements of Condition 5 of the EP (No. FEP-01/395/2010/C), an Environmental Monitoring and Audit (EM&A) programme as set out in the Agreement No. CE7/2008 (EP) EM&A Manual (hereinafter referred to as EM&A Manual) is required to be implemented. ERM-Hong Kong, Ltd (ERM) has been appointed by OSCAR as the Environmental Team (ET) to undertake the EM&A programme for the Contract.

The construction works commenced on 21 May 2015 and are scheduled for completion by October 2018.
