Table 7.6f Overall Impact Evaluation of Inactive Agriculture (Dry & Wet) and Shrubland Habitats
Evaluation Criteria |
Inactive Agriculture (Dry & Wet) |
Shrubland |
Habitat quality |
Luk Tei Tong
Marsh: Moderate-high Other Inactive
Agriculture: Low-moderate. |
Low-moderate. |
Species |
Potential direct impact to
Chinese Bullfrog. Potential indirect impact
to wildlife due to construction phase disturbance. |
No impact. |
Size/Abundance |
Direct and permanent impact
to 0.8ha of Luk Tei Tong Marsh due to LTT River & LTT (2) River Channel
Construction, although affected area of marsh is fairly dry, disturbed and
not considered of particular ecological interest. Direct impact to 0.02ha of
low-moderate ecological value inactive agricultural land due to PNH River
Channel Construction. |
No impact. |
Duration |
Loss of habitat would be
permanent. Indirect impacts such as
noise disturbance would be largely limited to the construction phase. |
No impact. |
Reversibility |
Loss of habitat would be
irreversible. Indirect impacts such as
noise disturbance would be largely limited to the construction phase. |
No impact. |
Magnitude |
Luk Tei Tong
Marsh: Low-moderate. Other
Inactive Agriculture: Low. |
No impact. |
Overall impact conclusion |
Luk Tei Tong
Marsh: Moderate. Other
Inactive Agriculture: Low. |
No impact. |
