Scale and Scope of Designated Project(s)
指 定 工 程 項 目 的 規 模 和 範 圍

The Project is an electrified double-tracked railway system including the railway alignment, all railway premises, depots, tracks, cuttings, embankments, tunnels, stations, goods and rail yards, car parks and other areas for ancillary uses but excludes non-railway developments above stations or above other railway property. The Project includes the following four sections:

Southern Section
This Section is located on the West Kowloon Reclamation (WKR) and commences at of the proposed Yen Chow Street (YCS) Station near the proposed Prince Edward Road Roundabout. From Yen Chow Station, the alignment extends north - west to Lai Chi Kok and Mei Foo, passing under Hing Wah Street and the Lai Wan Interchange. The alignment then turns east through Lai Chi Kok Park around the Mei Foo Sun Chuen residential development and ends just before the proposed Mei Foo (MEF) Station.

The entire rail alignment of the Southern Section will be constructed at grade. The alignment will be contained in a box structure constructed above ground and covered by a landscape earth mound.

Central Section
This Section commences at the western end of the proposed MEF Station, and extends north-west under Kwai Chung Hospital in Ha Kwai Chung Tunnels for approximately 1.5km. These tunnels give way to the Kwai Fuk Road Tunnels for approximately 600m before entering the Tsing Tsuen Tunnels in the vicinity of Kwai Chung Park and Tsing Tsuen Road. The alignment continues north - west in Tsing Tsuen Tunnels for approximately 1km before exiting at Tsuen Wan Waterfront in the vicinity of the site of the proposed Tsuen Wan West (TWW) Station. From TWW, the alignment continues north - west and enters the southern portal of the Tai Lam Tunnel (TLT) a point north of Tuen Mun Road at Tsuen Wan. The northern portal of the TLT is situated approximately 5km north - west in the Kam Tin valley, where the railway extends for another 250m above ground reaching the end of the Central Section.

Northern Section
The Section commences approximately 250m north of the northern portal of the TLT. The alignment then heads generally north - west, passing through a new station to be constructed at Kam Tin (KAT). From Kam Tin, the alignment continues north - west until it reaches a junction at Au Tau between a north - bound section of the alignment and the west bound route to Tuen Mun. Two kilometres west of Au Tau along Tuen Mun branch, the North Section comes to an end at eastern end wall of the proposed Yuen Long Station (YUL).

The Northern Section also includes the West Rail Depot (WRD), which lies between the northern portal of TLT and Kam Tin Station. The WRD includes infrastructure such as rail and fleet maintenance facilities as well as buildings which in total occupy an area of approximately 22 hectares. The WRD facility also includes approximately 2.2km of main line alignment.

Western Section
This Section of the alignment extends generally westward from Yuen Long Station (YUL) before heading south to the proposed Tuen Mun Centre (TMC) Station. The Western Section includes intermediate stations at Long Ping (LOP), Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun North (TMN).

工地徑流和排水的環境影響緩解措施

必須執行下列措施以緩解工地徑流和排水造成的環境影響：

(a)   排水系統須得到充分修護，以防止在建造工程期間出現泛濫及溢流；

(b)   在建造工程期間，土木工事的範圍界線須標明，並以堤壕包圍，以防泛濫。應設置臨時溝渠，以使徑流經由淤泥隔離池，排入合適的水道。永久的排水道應設置沉澱池或沉積物捕集和阻隔裝置，以提高沉降率。有效淤泥清除設施的設計應按照由環境保護署署長發出的《專業人士環保事務諮詢委員會專業守則 1/94》內載明的指引；

(c)   建造工程的安排，須盡量減少在雨季 (四月至九月 )進行挖掘路面工程。所有泥土外露的範圍，在土木工事完成後或土木工事停止 14日內，應該在切實可行情況下盡早加以穩固。如果不能避免在雨季或年中極可能出現暴雨的任何時間挖掘泥土，外露的斜坡表面應該以帆布或其他方式覆蓋；

(d)   在建造工程期間，地面徑流應先經沉澱才可排放，而所採用的沉澱池容量要足夠，由預挖每個約 6至 8立方米的獨立槽池組成。系統的容量須具彈性，能夠處理從多處來源排入的污水及物質，並特別適合應用於泵入的污水；

(e)   在暴雨期間，露天堆存而面積超逾 50立方米的建築材料 (如石料、沙及填料 )，須以帆布或同類質地的布料覆蓋。應採取措施防止建築物料、泥土、淤泥或碎屑沖入任何排水系統；

(f)    在建造工程期間，沙井 (包括新建的沙井 )須經常覆蓋及密封，以防止淤泥、建築材料或碎屑被沖入排水系統，以及暴雨徑流被引入污水渠。在年中暴雨將臨或預測會有暴雨的任何時間，須按照環境保護署署長發出的《專業人士環保事務諮詢委員會專業守則 1/94》採取行動。在暴雨期間，應特別注意控制含有淤泥的地面徑流，尤以陡峭斜坡附近的範圍為甚；

(g)   排水系統須設置截油器，並須定期清除油及油脂，以防在建造工程期間發出意外溢洩後，油脂流入雨水排水系統。截油器應設有旁管，以防止大雨期間出現泛濫；

(h)   所有車輛及裝置在離開建造工地之前須進行清潔，以確保在施工期間，車輛及裝置沒有把泥土、碎屑及類似物料留在路面。每個工地出口應設置設計妥善、位置方便的輪胎清洗處，而清洗輪胎的水應至少每星期沉澱一次，把沙及淤泥清除，以確保這個程序繼續發揮效能，出入輪胎清洗處的一段通道，應用足夠的回填料朝輪胎清洗處鋪砌路面，防止車輛輪鈦把泥土及泥水帶到公路及排水渠；

(i)    沉積物進入下水道改裝部分前須先進行截流。任何改裝的下水道部分應在逆流及順流方向都裝置沉積物捕集裝置，以盡量減少沉積物在下水道積聚。下水道的改裝部分內也應設置渦流管原地捕集裝置，把沉積物不斷抽出；

(j)    須設置臨時及永久排水管及下水道，以便建造工程期間排放徑流。臨時及永久排水管及下水道應妥為設計，以控制雨水水流的排放。尤其在暴雨之後，所有沉積物控制措施應定期檢查及修護，以確保任何時間內操作妥善及有效。當建造工程完成後，或再無須進行臨時導流的時候，臨時導流的排水設施應回復原狀；

(k)   受任何混凝土配料廠物料污染的排放物及地面徑流，須引入中和池以減低酸度，經處理的排放物須連接淤泥捕集裝置，以便先清除懸浮固體物才排入污水系統。

附件 C
