Cap 358 s 5 Secretary to establish quality objectives (1) The Secretary shall, after consultation with the Advisory Council on the Environment, establish for the waters of Hong Kong in each water control zone a water quality objective or different objectives for different parts of a zone. (Amended L.N. 165 of 1984; L.N. 57 of 1994) (2) The water quality objective for any particular waters shall be the quality which, in the opinion of the Secretary, should be achieved and maintained in order to promote the conservation and best use of those waters in the public interest.

(Amended 83 of 1993 s. 5) (4) If in the opinion of the Secretary the achievement or maintenance of any water quality objective would be better served by the exercise by the Authority of any of his powers under section 20(4) or 24, the Secretary may, subject to subsection (5), give directions in writing to the Authority as to the manner in which he shall exercise those powers; and, in the case of a direction which relates to section 20(4), any such direction may be of a general nature or relate to a particular case or particular cases. (5) The Secretary shall not give any direction under subsection (4) as to the manner in which the Authority shall exercise the powers in section 24 in relation to a discharge or deposit unless he considers that- (Amended 83 of 1993 s. 5) (a) any part of the waters of Hong Kong are in such a condition as to constitute a danger to the health of the public, or a section of the public, and the exercise of the powers in relation to that discharge or deposit would tend to lessen the danger; or (b) in the case of a licence for the purpose of section 9, the discharge or deposit may be harmful to the operation of any sewage treatment plant.(6) The Authority shall comply with any direction given to him under subsection (4) and the discretion conferred on the Authority by section 20(4) or 24(1) shall not apply to any discharge or deposit in respect of which such a direction is in force. |
