===Environment===
Another concern is environmental. CT9 is in proximity of [[Cheung Ching Estate]] and [[Mayfair Gardens]]. The machinaries and Heavy Goods Vehicles would cause noise pollutions to these residential housing estates. More, the spotlights of CT9 would distrub the residents. The government decided to leave a buffer for building [[office]]s, [[serviced apartment]]s or [[hotel]]s to block the noise and strong light. It turned out the serviced apartment [[Rambler Crest]] by [[Hutchison Whampoa]] was sold as [[property]].
The seabed of the Rambler Channel was dredged to allow large vessels to berth in the new terminals. Those polluted and non-polluted muds and sands were moved to [[Cheung Chau]] and [[Sha Chau]] for treatment and storage. [[Green Peace]] had made a protest for the dumping of muds out of Hong Kong in 2000, fearing that muds are polluted would affect the environment of outlaying islands.
