West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
1. Basic Information
1.1 Project Title
West Kowloon Cultural District
1.2 Purpose and Nature of the Project
The West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) is an important strategic project that will support Hong Kong’s development as a creative economy and global metropolis, and is a major initiative to meet the long-term infrastructure needs of Hong Kong’s arts and cultural development. The idea of developing the site of West Kowloon Reclamation into an arts and cultural district began in the late 1990s, with the objective “to enhance Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s premier centre of arts, culture and entertainment and create a new look for Victoria Harbour”. A key component of this initiative is the parallel vision of achieving sustainability through provision of innovative designs and state of the art systems that minimise energy consumption and improve environmental performance. Following from recommendations by the Consultative Committee on the Core Arts and Cultural Facilities (CACF) of WKCD in 2006, a number of CACF were proposed, including performing arts venues, a cultural institution with museum functions (called “M+”) and an exhibition centre. Plans to imbed sustainability into these core facilities and the WKCD area include adoption of green building designs, renewable energy technologies, water and energy conservation measures, and green transportation.
Throughout the development of the WKCD, public engagement has been one of the pivotal instruments in guiding the development direction of the WKCD. Extensive public consultations have been held since 2004. The WKCD Authority (WKCDA), empowered by the WKCD Authority Ordinance, was set up in 2008 to take forward the WKCD project. The WKCDA organised a three-stage public engagement exercise to collect views from the general public and stakeholders including those from the arts and cultural sector on the planning and design process of the WKCD. The Stage 1 public engagement exercise was held between 2009 and 2010 and involved collecting views from the public and stakeholders on the expectations of the WKCD as a whole, including views on user requirements for the proposed facilities and development programme. As part of the Stage 2 public engagement exercise held in late 2010, three Conceptual Plans (CPs) of the WKCD development were exhibited to the public to solicit public views on the CP options and to provide a reference for selection of the preferred option. The WKCDA selected in March 2011 one of the CPs as the basis for formulating a Development Plan for the WKCD. Information on the proposed Development Plan was unveiled to the public and stakeholders in the Stage 3 Public Engagement Exercise that commenced on 30 September 2011, prior to making a formal submission to the Town Planning Board around end 2011. Establishment of the Development Plan will involve various technical assessments to ensure the viability of the Plan including, amongst others, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) which is the subject EIA for this Project Profile.

2. Outline of Planning and Implementation Programme
2.1 Project Planning and Implementation
Following from completion of the Stage 2 Public Engagement Exercise in Nov 2010, which showcased the three prospective CPs for WKCD, the preferred CP is being developed into a detailed Development Plan which will be submitted to the Town Planning Board for consideration. The project proponent (WKCDA) has engaged a Project Consultant for providing expert advice on all matters relating to the preparation of the Development Plan and for undertaking all the necessary detailed technical assessments, including this EIA study, to ensure the viability of the Plan.
With the commencement of the Stage 3 Public Engagement Exercise on 30 September 2011, the major elements of the development have been identified and proposed, including the siting of major facilities, the various green transportation connections, and different sustainability features, etc. Optional elements (such as the optional floating ‘art’ pontoon/piers, optional automatic refuse collection system, etc.) will be further evaluated after the Stage 3 Public Engagement Exercise to finalise the Development Plan, which will then form the basis for the Project Consultant to undertake the EIA study according to the Study Brief to be issued by the Director of Environmental Protection.
2.2 Project Timetable
The EIA study is planned for commencement upon issue of the Study Brief and is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 2012 subject to the overall programming of the WKCD. Construction of critical elements of the WKCD may begin as early as 2013 so as to commission the Phase 1 arts and cultural facilities in stages starting from 2014/2015.

West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
3. Major Elements of the Surrounding Environment
3.1 Air Quality
The existing WKCD site is largely surrounded by the developed areas to the north and east of the site, and is adjacent to the tunnel portal of Western Harbour Crossing. In addition, the existing ventilation building for the Western Harbour Crossing is located inside the WKCD site. Therefore, the main air quality issues are traffic emissions from the surrounding road network, and the Western Harbour Crossing ventilation building and tunnel portal. Construction activities at the XRL temporary works area within the WKCD site would also generate potential dust emissions. Existing air sensitive receivers (ASRs) surrounding the WKCD site includes mainly residential buildings, educational institutions, and fresh air intakes of commercial buildings/shopping malls. The proposed facilities within the WKCD also include planned ASRs such as residences, offices, hotels, retail shops, educational institutions and performing arts centres/outdoor arenas.
The WKCD site is also located adjacent to the south boundary of the New Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter, which may have potential odour issues.
3.2 Noise
There are traffic noise from the surrounding road networks and the Western Harbour Crossing tunnel portal adjacent to the WKCD site as well as potential construction noise from the XRL temporary works area within the WKCD site. Existing noise sensitive receivers (NSRs) in the vicinity of the site include the residential developments above the MTR Kowloon Station and developments that border the WKCD site near Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui areas, which are comprised of mainly residential buildings and some educational institutions. The proposed facilities within the WKCD also include planned NSRs such as residences, performing arts centres/outdoor arenas and other institutional/community facilities. The planned development at the WKCD would also take into consideration the noise from the ventilation shafts as well as ground borne noise that may be generated from MTRC’s rail traffic.
3.3 Water Quality
The water resources surrounding the WKCD include urban drainage systems and the marine water body that forms part of Victoria Harbour. A number of Environmental Protection Department’s (EPD) marine water quality monitoring stations are located in the vicinity of WKCD (the Victoria Harbour Central, Victoria Harbour West and Stonecutters Island monitoring stations). The latest water quality monitoring results published in EPD’s Annual Marine Water Quality Report for 2010 showed that the water quality at Victoria Harbour has generally been improving since the commissioning of the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme Stage 1 in late 2001.
The main water sensitive receivers (WSRs) surrounding the WKCD are the New Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter and a number of seawater intakes at the waterfront of Victoria Harbour. Planned WSRs at the WKCD include the seawater intake for the district cooling system and the flushing water intake for the sea water pumping station of Water Supplies Department.

West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
3.4 Sewerage
The WKCD is located within the West Kowloon sewerage catchment, with current sewage generated from existing developments near WKCD being collected at the Cheung Sha Wan pumping station for treatment at the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works. There is an existing terminal foul sewer manhole located at the northern side of the WKCD that drains into the foul sewer running along Austin Road West.
3.5 Landscape and Visual
The current landscape setting at the WKCD site is mainly comprised of open spaces with some roadside amenity planting. Land use at the site is currently dominated by open space for recreational use, storage and car parks, and the XRL temporary works area. Trees are sparsely located within the site, mainly at the western side. The surrounding landscape resources consist of mainly developed areas and a water body (Victoria Harbour). The visually sensitive receivers (VSRs) include high-rise and other developments surrounding, or with a clear view of, the WKCD site.
3.6 Ecology
The study area consists of mainly urbanised and developed environments with very limited ecological significance. Habitats include developed area, open fields and plantation. There are no sites of ecological importance and the marine environment is also highly developed with low ecological value. In the existing WKCD site, the sparse vegetation is made up of trees and plants of common, urban species. The overall ecological value of the site is currently low.
3.7 Hazard to Life
No designated Potentially Hazardous Installations (PHIs) were found within or close to the WKCD site. Several electro-chlorination facilities are present within the current WKCD site as part of existing facilities such as MTRC’s Kowloon Station ventilation building (for sterilisation of seawater for cooling purposes) and Water Supplies Department’s salt water pumping station. A small quantity of hydrogen gas is produced and vented by these facilities.

West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
4. Possible Impact on the Environment
4.1 General
From the outset, the WKCD will be designed to minimise possible environmental impacts resulting from its construction and operation via early consideration and adoption of layouts, designs and systems that provide optimal environmental compatibility. Sustainability will form the basis of all the planned developments within the WKCD. This includes adoption of green building design principles such as responsive building orientation, facade and green roofs; provision of green areas such as parks and landscaped open spaces; implementation of highly efficient systems such as a district cooling system; adoption of on-site renewable energy systems such as solar photovoltaics and wind turbines; adoption of water reuse facilities (options to be considered include rainwater harvesting and/or reuse of condensate from air conditioning systems); and use of green transportation system including travelator and eco-buses.
The implementation of these sustainability initiatives will bring about associated environmental benefits including reduced natural resource use and wastage, improved energy efficiency and energy recovery, the creation of new and improved green spaces, and reduced air pollution and noise emissions leading to better environmental performance of the project.
4.2 Air Quality
During construction phase, the main air quality impact that may arise is fugitive dust emissions resulting from construction activities such as excavation, stockpiles, the movement of vehicles, the possible operation of the concrete batching plant (if required) and the activities of other plant during loading and unloading operations.
During operation phase, the major potential air pollution sources will include traffic emissions from the surrounding road network; the Western Harbour Crossing portal and ventilation buildings; the proposed roads and car parks (and associated ventilation buildings) within the WKCD. There will also be potential odour emission from the adjacent New Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter; the optional automatic refuse collection facility, if technically feasible and financially viable; and the optional sewage pumping station.
4.3 Noise
During construction phase, the main potential source of noise impact is from the use of powered mechanical equipment (PME) and operation of concrete batching plant (if required) at the construction site. Major construction activities that will involve the use of PME include site clearance and formation, basement construction, removal of spoil, backfilling and superstructure construction.
During operation phase, noise and/or vibration may be generated by traffic from the nearby road systems, and operation of the green transportation system within the WKCD. Noise impacts may also be generated by fixed plants such as ventilation buildings, pumping stations, electrical substations and other plant associated with the various proposed facilities at WKCD. Activities to be held in the proposed outdoor performance areas of the WKCD may also generate noise impacts to nearby NSRs.
255962/ENL/ENL/G October 2011 P:\Hong Kong\INF\Projects2\255962 WKCD Development Plan\07 Documents\Environmental Working Folder\02 Deliverables\Project Profile\Project Profile rev G.doc 10
West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
4.4 Water Quality
During construction phase, potential sources of water pollution includes construction site runoff; pumped groundwater discharge; drainage diversion; sewage effluent from the construction workforce; and accidental spillage of chemicals/wastes. Wastewater discharging from the construction site may contain high levels of suspended solids and chemicals such as oils, solvents and cement-derived materials which could pollute the surrounding water bodies, if not properly handled or treated.
During operation phase, the main potential water quality impacts could be due to the following sources:
(i) Stormwater drainage into Victoria Harbour;
(ii) Sea water discharge from the proposed district cooling system, which could affect the thermal conditions of the immediate area surrounding the discharge point, and may also contain residual chlorine; and
(iii) Sewage generated from the WKCD development, which will be discharged via connection to the existing gravity sewer along Austin Road West.
The potential water quality impacts will be minimized as far as practicable through implementation of the feasible water reuse facilities (options to be considered include rainwater harvesting and/or reuse of condensate from air-conditioning systems).
4.5 Sewerage and Sewage Treatment Implications
The sewage generated by the WKCD development is proposed to discharge to the existing gravity sewer along Austin Road West for subsequent treatment at the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works. Preliminary assessments have indicated that the existing West Kowloon sewerage catchment has adequate capacity to convey the additional sewage loads from WKCD, hence no potential impact is anticipated from sewerage and sewage treatment, which will be reviewed in the sewage impact assessment. Subject to the findings of the sewage impact assessment, a sewage pumping station may be required.
4.6 Waste Management Implications
During construction phase, the main types of waste that will be generated includes construction and demolition (C&D) materials, C&D waste, excavated materials, chemical waste and general refuse. C&D materials that will be generated include sand, rock, wood, concrete and other building materials. C&D waste comprises the materials generated from site clearance works, earthworks and any demolition of existing structures.
During operation phase, the WKCD development will generate mainly general solid waste and some chemical wastes associated with different facilities within the WKCD. Subject to the technical feasibility and financial viability, solid waste may be handled by the proposed automatic refuse collection system, and recyclable waste materials will be segregated for off-site recycling in order to minimize the amount of waste requiring landfill disposal. Chemical waste would include used cleaning materials, lubricants, paints,
255962/ENL/ENL/G October 2011 P:\Hong Kong\INF\Projects2\255962 WKCD Development Plan\07 Documents\Environmental Working Folder\02 Deliverables\Project Profile\Project Profile rev G.doc 11
West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
batteries, coolants etc. which, if not properly handled and disposed of, could cause environmental, health and safety issues.
4.7 Landscape and Visual
The main landscape impact that will arise from the Project is the potential loss of trees that have become established at the WKCD site since the formation of the reclamation area.
Visual impacts are likely to arise during construction phase due to the large size of the site, the scale and duration of the construction works and the considerable number of VSRs which have clear views of the site. During operation phase, it is anticipated that the Project (once fully completed) will substantially enhance the visual context of the West Kowloon Reclamation area by providing a new park with landscaped recreational space and developments that fit with the visual context of the adjacent areas. Where necessary, any potential initial impacts due to the creation of new building masses on previously open spaces will be mitigated by appropriate landscaping measures.
4.8 Ecology
As the WKCD site is currently dominated by urbanised land uses and open fields, no substantial adverse ecological impacts are anticipated during both construction and operation phases. Although some plantation habitats will be affected, the significance of ecological impact is minimal due to the limited ecological value of this artificial habitat type. The majority of the plant species are either exotic ornamentals used for urban landscaping or self seeded trees of poor condition that are not considered as sensitive ecological resources.
Given the WKCD site currently involves highly disturbed urbanised land uses, animal species (birds) found in the area are generally tolerant to human disturbance. The disturbance impact to wildlife is thus anticipated to be minimal.
4.9 Cultural Heritage
The WKCD site is formed on reclaimed land which does not have any archaeological potential. Similarly, the adjacent land to the WKCD site is a highly urbanised setting that has undergone extensive underground disturbance, hence it is unlikely to have significant archaeological potential. The potential for marine archaeology is also limited, as the surrounding seabed would have already been highly disturbed during the formation of the West Kowloon Reclamation area.
As there are no cultural heritage features within the WKCD site, no direct impacts on cultural heritage features are anticipated. Several built heritage features exist within the surrounding area of the WKCD, including existing and proposed ‘Graded’ historical buildings. Identified built heritage include the Former Whitfield Barracks (Blocks S61, S62, S4 and 58; Kowloon West II Battery; and Historical Retaining Wall); Former War Department Boundary Stone Marker; St. Andrew’s Church Compound; Former Kowloon British School; No.190 Nathan Road; Fuk Tak Koo Temple; No. 538 – 540 Canton Road; and No. 554 Canton Road. The potential indirect impacts to these off-site cultural heritage features (e.g. due to vibration from the construction work) is unlikely because the built heritage features are all located at considerable distances (over 100m) away from the WKCD site boundary.

West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
4.10 Land Contamination
The WKCD site is a reclaimed land, which has been used as a waterfront promenade, temporary open storage and parking facilities. While there are underground oil storage tanks at the existing Tsim Sha Tsui Fire Station within the WKCD site, no records of previous spillage or leakage have been identified. According to the approved EIA for Kowloon Southern Link, the Tsim Sha Tsui Fire Station was identified as a potential contaminated site, but no significant contamination was found from the soil samples collected at the drill holes in the vicinity of that site. Therefore, no significant land contamination issue would be anticipated at the WKCD site.
4.11 Hazard to Life
The electro-chlorination facilities and associated small amounts of hydrogen gas produced by the existing ventilation buildings and Water Supplies Department’s salt water pumping station at WKCD are unlikely to cause significant hazards to life concern.

5. Environmental Protection Measures to be Incorporated in the Design and any Further Environmental Implications
5.1 General
Various sustainability initiatives are to be integrated into the detailed Development Plan with a view to achieving environmental excellence for the project. Such initiatives will include the green transportation system, district cooling system, on-site renewable energy systems and water reuse facilities. Nevertheless, where unavoidable environmental impacts would be present, mitigation measures will be in place to alleviate the potential environmental impacts during construction and operation phases of the project.
5.2 Air Quality
During construction phase, good site practices and relevant control measures as stipulated in the Air Pollution Control (Construction Dust) Regulation and the Guidance Note on Best Practicable Means for Cement Works (Concrete Batching Plant) issued by EPD (if an on-site concrete batching plant is used) will be implemented to mitigate the potential air quality impacts. With mitigation measures in place, it is anticipated that construction phase air quality impacts can be reduced to acceptable levels.
For potential air quality impacts during operation phase, the Project will seek to avoid or minimise such impacts as far as practicable during the process of establishing the Development Plan for WKCD, first by substantial pedestrianisation at grade, and then by adopting green transportation systems within the WKCD as well as through carefully planning the layout and design of those facilities with sensitive uses (e.g., CACF). By the same token, facilities with potential air pollution issues (e.g., optional automatic refuse collection facility) will be appropriately located and designed. Specific mitigation requirements will be subject to the findings of the EIA.
5.3 Noise
Various noise mitigation measures may be applied to reduce noise levels during construction phase. Mitigation measures such as use of quiet plant, locating noisy PME away from NSRs, scheduling of noisy work activities outside of sensitive hours, use of noise barriers, etc., will be implemented as required to ensure construction noise is reduced to acceptable levels.
During operation phase, potential noise impact from road traffic, ground-borne sources, fixed plant, and outdoor activities will be avoided or minimised as far as practicable via appropriate design and layout of the relevant facilities. Specific mitigation requirements will be subject to the findings of the EIA.
5.4 Water Quality
During construction phase, mitigation measures for water quality impacts will be implemented in accordance with the Practice Note for Professional Persons on Construction Site Drainage (ProPECC PN 1/94). With mitigation measures in place, it is anticipated that construction phase water quality impacts can be reduced to acceptable levels.

West Kowloon Cultural District Project Profile
During operation phase, potential impacts due to the drainage system and cooling water discharge from the district cooling system will be minimised as part of the design for such systems during the planning stage of WKCD. Different options for water reuse will be explored, including the use of rainwater harvesting or reuse of condensate from air-conditioning systems. Specific mitigation requirements, if necessary, will be subject to the findings of the EIA.
5.5 Sewerage and Sewage Treatment Implications
Sewage generated from the WKCD during operation phase will be discharged to the existing sewerage system, which would have sufficient capacity to collect and treat the extra sewage. Therefore, it is anticipated that no sewage treatment plant will be required at the WKCD site, which will be reviewed in the sewage impact assessment. A sewage pumping station may be required subject to the sewage impact assessment findings.
5.6 Waste Management Implications
During construction phase, measures that may be implemented to manage the waste generated from the WKCD site includes preparation of a Waste Management Plan, on-site sorting and reuse of C&D materials, implementation of a trip-ticket system and appropriate handling, storage and disposal of chemical waste in accordance with the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) (General) Regulations.
During operation phase, proper refuse collection and handling will be implemented and provisions will be made for recyclable materials to be segregated from the general refuse as far as practicable. The remaining non-recyclable solid waste and chemical waste will be separately collected and disposed of by licensed waste collectors on a regular basis.
5.7 Landscape and Visual
During construction phase, appropriate mitigation measures will be adopted to minimise the landscape and visual impacts such as use of decorative hoardings and early introduction of landscape treatments. The early formation of the park will buffer the landscape and visual impacts from other parts of the site undergoing construction. During operation phase, after full establishment of the WKCD, it is anticipated that the landscape amenity and visual context of the site will be substantially enhanced.
5.8 Ecology
Due to the low ecological value of the WKCD site and its surrounding area, it is anticipated that no specific ecological mitigation measures would be considered necessary.
5.9 Cultural Heritage
Indirect impacts to built heritage features in the vicinity of the WKCD site are not anticipated due to the large separation distance, hence no mitigation measures would be considered necessary. No archaeological impacts are anticipated, therefore archaeological mitigation measures are unlikely to be required.

5.10 Land Contamination
Significant land contamination issues are not anticipated within the WKCD site. However, the potential for land contamination issues at the Tsim Sha Tsui Fire Station will be confirmed prior to construction. Where necessary, mitigation measures for minimising potential exposure to contaminated materials or remediation measures will be identified.
5.11 Hazard to Life
As the existing electro-chlorination facilities at WKCD are already adequately controlled by standard fire safety measures, it is anticipated that no specific additional mitigation measures will be necessary.
