Waste Disposal Plan for Hong Kong Executive Summary WASTE DISPOSAL PLAN FOR HONG KONG EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Waste Arisings Hong Kong's waste arisings currently amount to nearly 22,500 tonnes per day (t.p.d.) not including the 49,000 rrr of excavated and dredged materials which are dumped at sea. The main components of these arisings are household waste (approximately 4600 t.p.d.), industrial and commercial wastes (approximately l800 t.p.d.), construction waste (approximately 6500 t.p.d.), livestock waste (approximately 2000 t.p.d.), water works sludges (approximately 4000 t.p.d.) and pulverised fuel ash (approximately 2600 t.p.d.). Waste Collection Wastes are collected and delivered to disposal sites "by the statutory collection authorities (the Urban Council, the Regional Council and the Director of Environmental Protection), by numerous private waste collection contractors and, in the case of some industrial waste, by "in house" labour. The collection authorities collect and deliver for disposal most household, some commercial and most street wastes, some clinical waste and most excremental waste. The remainder is handled by the private sector. Environmental problems, which are generated by both the public and private sector waste collection systems, include odour, leachate spillage, dust, noise and littering. Existing controls over the operations of private sector waste collectors and transporters are fragmented and ineffective. Waste Disposal Most wastes are currently either incinerated at one of three government-operated incineration plants or disposed of at one of five government-operated landfills. The old composting plant at Chai Wan now functions as a temporary bulk transfer facility for the transport of publicly-collected waste to landfill. Incineration plants are reserved primarily for the destruction of publicly-collected household wastes. Privately-collected wastes are disposed of at landfills. Dredged and excavated materials are currently dumped at sea whilst most livestock and chemical wastes are hosed down into the nearest water course (livestock waste) or poured down the nearest drain (chemical wastes). Waterworks sludges are currently discharged either to sea or to inland watercourses. Pulverised fuel ash is either recycled as building materials or stored in specially constructed lagoons. Environmental problems at existing lan<±filtis * include inadequate gas and leachate control, and differential settlement. The main environmental caused by incinerators is air pollution* - II - Future Projections Based on past trends and future projections it is anticipated that daily waste arisings in Hong Kong will continue to increase such that by the year 2001 they will amount to approximately 30,000 t.p.d. This figure includes approximately 5&0 t.p.d. of sewage sludge which will result from planned expansion of the existing sewage treatment capacity and 6550 t.p.d. of waterworks sludge. It also includes 4500 t.p.d. of pulverised fuel ash and furnace bottom ash. However it does not include dredged and excavated materials intended for marine dumping, and wastes diverted for disposal at public dumps. The Strategy The different types of wastes arising in Hong Kong require different methods of treatment and disposal. These methods are : . (a) Dredged and excavated wastes should continue to be dumped at sea in a controlled fashion. .'•••• - - ^;f (b) Sewage and waterworks sludges arising in areas with easy access to deepwater frontage should be dumped at sea initially on an experimental basis with a view to further extension if this method is found environmentally satisfactory; sewage sludge should be stabilised before Such dumping proceeds; waterworks sludge will require thickening to effect economy of transportation. (c) Waterworks sludges not arising in areas with easy access to deepwater frontage should be discharged to coastal waters down long sea outfalls. This is subject to detailed assessment studies on a case by case basis to ensure that no long term damage to the marine ecosystem is caused. (d) Sewage sludge not arising in areas with easy access to deepwater frontage should be ^ewatered. and disposed of at landfill. (e) Excremental waste should be disposed of at sewage works or in limited quantities at landfill. (f ) Livestock waste collected by the government should be f stabilised and composted _grlor_t9 ^S2S2]^sS£ • As all wastes cannot be dealt with in this way," alternatives which require further consideration are: 1} disposal at landfill after stabilisation; ii) disposal at sea after stabilisation; and iii) disposal at sewage works by digestion with sewage sludge. - Ill - (g) Abattoir waste should be regrocessed as far as practicable, and the non-r*e^cTe"aSXe fraction should be disposed of at landfill. ( h ) Animal carcas ses should be _des trpyed .j^L—J-L cremator. r'T :l (i) Clinical waste should wherever possible be , .. iji.cinerat. o rs; to cater for the""was'te g^erated at hospitals, doctors f surgeries and clinics where incineration facilities are not available or cannot meet air emission standards a central incinerator should be constructed. (j) Chemical wastes should wherever possible be codisposed at landfill. Those wastes for which this is not possible should be disposed of at a 1 (k) Radioactive waste should be stored, returned to suppliers or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the directions of the Radiation Board. (1) Pulverised fuel ash and furnace bottom ash should be sold for re-use or lagooned; there is also a possibility, requiring further investigation, that the materials could be used for reclamation and land restoration. (m) All other wastes should be disposed of at landfills, if necessary after treatment at existing incinerators or at transfer stations which are being developed (see below). The Municipal Waste Disposal Strategy The municipal waste disposal strategy is designed to ensure the environmentally acceptable disposal of waste in the 'most cost efficient manner available. Landfills will always be required to dispose of various wastes and the residues from other waste treatment processes (such as Incinerator ash, unuseable construction waste and some chemical wastes) for which there are no acceptable alternative methods of disposal. _Three very large „ landfill __ ^ites__are being.. ^,. dey elopj" e d _ in _ remot QT^JBSSAs^.

Environmental problems caused by the incinerators are exacerbated by the fact that they are located in densely populated urban areas. As alternative treatment and disposal facilities become available, these incinerators will therefore be phased out. Any new incinerator that may in future be developed will have to incorporate highly sophisticated pollution control equipment allied to a waste segregation and recycling facility, and they would be located in remote areas.

  • 1. the Monthly Monitoring Data from 86 Stations (Figure 1) Are Public Available
    Reply to comments RC1: 1. The monthly monitoring data from 86 stations (Figure 1) are public available. What’s the rationale of selecting the 3 stations in the southern water of Hong Kong? Are you choosing the stations that are affected most by the nutrient-rich Pearl River plume? If so, the station on the west of SM17 and stations in the northwest of Hong Kong water (west of Lantau Island) might be more representative. Or are these stations the most productive one (based on the nutrient and chlorophyll data that are also included in this monitoring program)? Or did you find these stations experience most severe low-DO or hypoxic conditions? Reply 1: The reasons for selecting the 3 stations in the southern water of Hong Kong are as follows. Our main objective is to focus on wind effects on hypoxia and hence, we need to select stations are open to winds. Tolo Harbour where hypoxia occurs often is sheltered. The Pearl River estuary within the line of lands between Lantau Island and Macau is shallow in most areas except for deep channel and hypoxia is a rare event. Port Shelter is also sheltered. Other parts of Hong Kong waters are shallow and hypoxia hardly occurs. We have added Fig. S2 to show hypoxia occurrences in 10 water control zones in all the Hong Kong waters (Fig. S1). The 3 stations SM17, SM18 and SM19 are deep >20 m and subject to the Pearl River estuarine plume, most vulnearable to the formation of hypoxia as they have the stronger stratification in summer.

  • Note for Public Works Subcommittee of Finance Committee
    For information PWSCI(2011-12)8 NOTE FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE OF FINANCE COMMITTEE Forecast of submissions for the 2011-12 Legislative Council session This note gives an overview of the potential capital works items to be submitted to the Public Works Subcommittee in the 2011-12 Legislative Council session. 2. The pool of items that may be ready for submission to the Public Works Subcommittee before the 2012 summer recess totals 65 as listed in ——— Enclosure 1. To enable Members to have a better understanding of the items, we ——— have provided supplementary information on each item at Enclosure 2 following the same order presented in Enclosure 1. 3. The Administration will try to adhere to the targets as much as possible. However, programme changes arising during the design, statutory gazettal and objections, and consultation stages, etc. are expected. We will account for deviations from the current forecast in a year-end report for Members’ reference. 4. Members are also invited to note that funding under 161DR “Restoration of Shuen Wan Landfill―post-completion environmental monitoring work” for the environmental monitoring work at the Shuen Wan Landfill, which is currently funded under the Capital Works Reserve Fund (CWRF), will lapse in December 2011. With more operational experience gained in landfill management, it has become clearer to the Administration that the post-completion environmental monitoring work involves mainly on-going monitoring of landfill gas and leachate pollution of closed landfills through existing landfill gas and leachate management systems. We therefore consider that the expenditure of the monitoring work is more akin to a recurrent commitment rather than a works project in nature.

  • THE BATTLE of HONG KONG Belligerents
    THE BATTLE OF HONG KONG DATE: DECEMBER 08 – DECEMBER 25 1941 Belligerents Japan United Kingdom Hong Kong India Canada China Free French The Battle of Hong Kong was fought between December 8 - 25, 1941. As the Second Sino-Japanese War raged between China and Japan during the late 1930s, Great Britain was forced to examine its plans for the defense of Hong Kong. In studying the situation, it was quickly found that the colony would be difficult to hold in the face of a determined Japanese attack. Despite this conclusion, work continued on a new defensive line extending from Gin Drinkers Bay to Port Shelter. Begun in 1936, this set of fortifications was modeled on the French Maginot Line and took two years to complete. Centered on the Shin Mun Redoubt, the line was a system of strong points connected by paths. In 1940, with World War II consuming Europe, the government in London began reducing the size of the Hong Kong garrison to free troops for use elsewhere. Following his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the British Far East Command, Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham requested reinforcements for Hong Kong as he believed even a marginal increase in the garrison could significantly slow down the Japanese in the case of war. Though not believing that the colony could be held indefinitely, a protracted defense would buy time for the British elsewhere in the Pacific. FINAL PREPARATIONS In 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill agreed to dispatch reinforcements to the Far East. In doing so, he accepted an offer from Canada to send two battalions and a brigade headquarters to Hong Kong.

  • Task Force on Water-Land Interface Planning for Victoria Harbourfront
    Task Force on Water-land Interface For information TFWL/05/2013 on 13 December 2013 Planning for Victoria Harbourfront: Approach and Process PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to brief Members on the approach and process currently adopted for the planning of harbourfront areas. BACKGROUND 2. The approach to deal with the water-land interface issues was brought up at the Task Force meeting on 12 November 2012. The subject matter was further discussed at the meeting on 19 March 2013, and there were divergent views amongst Members. To facilitate the Task Force’s further discussion, the Chair invited Planning Department (PlanD) to brief Members on the approach and process for harbourfront planning, including the Harbour Plan developed in 2003, Harbour Planning Principles, Harbour Planning Guidelines and the findings of major review studies completed so far that constituted the planning for the Harbour. 3. During the last term of the Harbourfront Commission, PlanD had given an overview of the land use framework for the harbourfront areas to the Commission at its meeting held on 9 February 2011. The same was also presented to this Task Force at its 1st meeting on 24 November 2011 to facilitate Members’ discussion on the objectives and work plan of the Task Force. This paper aims to provide Members a recap of the strategic and district context for harbourfront planning and an update of the progress of major studies for waterfront areas as the basis for the Task Force’s further consideration of the way forward in dealing with water-land interface issues.
