DETAILED SECTION

REASON FOR WATER POLLUTION

Stormwater

Backfill Components: - Garbage - Industrial Waste

- Sediments removed from floor of the adjacent estuary

- Heavy Metals

- TPC/VOCs - Asbestos - Zinc - Phenolics - Ammonia

- Degreasers - PCBs

Intertidal Area

Tide out - Bring Contaminant into the Sea

Backfilling Material

Tide in - Meet with Landfill Material

Compressed Intertidal Area with fewer ecological effects

RUNOFF CONDITION

REASON FOR WATER POLLUTION NOW

Water Quality impacted by Industrial construction period

Stormwater Runoff/Overland Flow Path

Residential Stormwater runs off towards White Bay

Stormwater infiltrates contaminated & Rclaimed soil

Polluted stormwater released to Harbour Sea

Water through pipes or direct runoffs

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE REASON FOR WATER POLLUTION

ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION

THE NATURAL POWER OF ECOLOGY, GIVEN BY TIME

'Ecological succession provides diversity & depth to a biotic community. Without it, life can not grow or progress.'

--Bauholz, 2018

ON-SITE SUCCESSION

Hybrid Question

How can successional planting groups help White Bay improve the local water quality, and develop as a resilient urban waterfront to attracting and supporting a range of local ecologies and a new community?

CONCERN FOR FUTURE TREE PERFORMANCE

Before planting WAIT!

ARE THE TREES GOING TO GROW AS WE EXPECTED?

Due to the current toxic soil condition...

Oh! This plant looks so special! Let me adjust the light to have a closer look at it!

PHASE 2: REBUILD

Rebuild White Bay for Future Development

How can White Bay be reurbanized in a way that addresses the pressure of increasing number of residents and visitors after the metro station will be built？

How can New residents and visitors be involved in the construction process in order to build up a sense of community before moving in?
