Measures to Mitigate Environmental Impacts from Site Run-off and
Drainage
To mitigate the environmental impacts from site run-off and
drainage, the following shall be implemented:
(a) adequate maintenance of drainage systems shall be provided to
prevent flooding and overflow during the construction period;
(b) the boundaries of areas of earthworks shall be marked and
surrounded by dykes for flood protection during the construction period.
Temporary ditches should be provided to facilitate runoff discharge into the
appropriate watercourses, via a silt retention pond. Permanent drainage
channels should incorporate sediment basins or traps and baffles to enhance
deposition rates. The design of efficient silt removal facilities should be
based on the guidelines in ProPEC Practice Note 1/94 issued by the Director of
Environmental Protection;
(c) construction works shall be programmed to minimize surface
excavation works during the rainy season (April to September). All exposed earth
shall be stabilized as soon as possible after earthworks have been completed,
or alternatively, within 14 days of the cessation of earthworks where
practicable. If excavation of soil cannot be avoided during the rainy season,
or at any time of year when rainstorms are likely, exposed slope surfaces
should be covered by tarpaulin or other means;
(d) sediment tanks of sufficient capacity constructed from
pre-formed individual cells of approximately 6 to 8 cu.m. capacity shall be
used for settling surface runoff prior to disposal during the construction
period. The system capacity shall be flexible and able to handle multiple
inputs from a variety of sources and particularly suited to applications where
the influent is pumped;
(e) open stockpiles of construction materials (e.g. aggregates,
sand and fill material) of more than 50 cu.m. shall be covered with tarpaulin
or similar fabric during rainstorms. Measures should be taken to prevent the
washing away of construction materials, soil, silt or debris into any drainage
system;
(f) manholes, including newly constructed ones, shall always be
covered and sealed so as to prevent silt, construction materials or debris
being washed into the drainage system and storm runoff being directed into foul
sewers during the construction period. At any time of year when rainstorms are
imminent or forecast, actions shall be taken in accordance with the ProPECC
Practice Note 1/94 issued by the Director of Environmental Protection.
Particular attention should be paid to the control of silty surface runoff
during storm events, especially for areas located near steep slopes;
(g) oil interceptors shall be provided in drainage systems and
oils and grease shall be regularly removed to prevent the release of oils and
grease into storm water drainage systems after accidental spillage during the
construction period. The interceptors should have a bypass to prevent flushing
during periods of heavy rain;
(h) all vehicles and plant shall be cleaned before leaving a
construction site to ensure no earth, mud, debris and the like is deposited by
them on roads during the construction period. An adequately designed and
located wheel washing bay should be provided at every site exit and wash-water
should have sand and silt settled out and removed at least on a weekly basis to
ensure the continued efficiency of the process. The section of access road
leading to, and exiting from, the wheel-wash bay to the public road should be
paved with sufficient backfill toward the wheel-wash bay to prevent vehicle
tracking of soil and silty water to public roads and drains;
(i) sediment shall be intercepted before it enters into
modified sections of culverts. Sediment traps should be installed both upstream
and downstream of any modified culvert sections in order to minimise the
sediment loading in these culverts. Vortex tube site traps shall also be
installed to provide continuous extraction of sediment within the modified
sections of the culverts;
(j) temporary and permanent drainage pipes and culverts
shall be provided to facilitate runoff discharge during the construction
period. The temporary and permanent drainage pipes and culverts should be
adequately designed for the controlled release of storm flows. All sediment
control measures should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure proper
and efficient operation at all times and particularly following rain storms.
Temporarily diverted drainage should be reinstated to its original condition
when construction work has finished or the temporary diversion is no longer
required; and
(k) discharge and surface runoff contaminated by materials from
any concrete batching plant shall be diverted to neutralisation tank to reduce
acidity and the treated discharge should be connected to silt trap to remove
suspended solids before disposing to sewage system.
Annex
C
Measures to Mitigate the Water Quality Impacts During Tunneling
and Station Construction
To mitigate the water quality impacts during tunneling and station
construction:
(a) cut-and-cover tunnel work shall be conducted segment by
segment to limit the amount of construction runoff generated in the areas
during the wet season (April to September). Temporary open storage of excavated
materials used for backfill on site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar
fabric during rainstorms. Any washout of construction or excavated materials
should be diverted through appropriate sediment traps before discharge to
stormwater drainage system. Ground water pumped out of tunnels should be
discharged into the drainage channels which incorporate sediment traps to
enhance deposition rates and to remove silt; and
(b) spent bentonite slurries or other grouts used in diaphragm
wall construction and in a separate slurry collection system shall be
collected, and reconditioned and reused wherever practicable.
Annex
D
Measures to Mitigate Water Quality Impact During Reclamation Work
and Other Construction Activities
To mitigate the water quality impact during reclamation work and
other construction activities :
(a) any mechanical grabs shall be designed and maintained to avoid
spillage and sealed tightly while being lifted during the construction period.
For dredging of contaminated mud, closed watertight gabs shall be used;
(b) silt curtains shall be deployed around dredging areas without
jeopardizing the navigation of ships and ferries along the navigation channels
during the dredging and filling operation;
(c) all vessels shall be sized so that undue turbidity is not
generated by turbulence from vessel movement or propeller wash during the
construction period;
(d) no foam, oil, grease, sum, litter or other objectionable
matter shall be caused to be present on the water within the site or dumping
grounds during the construction period;
(e) loading of barges and hoppers shall be controlled to prevent
splashing of dredged material into the surrounding water. Barges or hoppers
shall not be filled to a level which will cause the overflow of materials or
polluted water during loading or transportation;
(f) debris and rubbish on site shall be collected, handled and
disposed of properly to avoid entering the water column to cause water quality
impacts;
(g) to prevent spilled fuel oils from reaching coastal water, all
fuel tanks and storage areas shall be provided with locks and located on sealed
areas, and within bunds of a capacity equal to 110% of the storage capacity of
the largest tank; and
(h) construction work force sewage discharges on site shall be
connected to existing sewer or sewage treatment facilities. Portable chemical
toilets shall be provided to construction workers.
Annex
E
Measures to Mitigate the Landfill Gas Hazard During the Operation
of the Project
During non-operational hours and particularly at the time when the
first train travels through the tunnel each day, there is potential for
accumulated gas to be ignited by an electrical spark caused by the train. To
reduce the likelihood of this occurrence, the measures outlines below shall be
adopted:
(a) Staff
undertaking the daily safety check of each line prior to daily operation shall
be trained in the use of portable gas detection equipment. Measurement of methane and carbon
dioxide concentrations shall be undertaken as part of the daily safety check of
the tunnels. Should the methane
concentration exceed 10% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL), ventilation shall
be increased and operation of the train service shall not commence until the
methane level falls below 10% of the LEL. Should the methane concentration
exceed 20% of the LEL, all personnel shall be evacuated from the tunnels,
operation of the train service shall not commence, and ventilation shall be
increased to restore the methane concentration to below 10% of the LEL prior to
operation of the train service.
(b) With
the information contained in the Application
for Variation No. VEP-142/2004, the permit holder shall carry out at least 12
bi-weekly safety checks starting from July 2004 to replace the daily safety
checks in above (a). Except the frequency, the measurement procedure and the
requirement shall be the same as described in (a). Any changes to the
frequency, procedure and requirement as set out shall be approved by the
Director.
(c) All maintenance
personnel and station staff working within the tunnels shall be educated in the
dangers of landfill gas and the signs and symptoms of asphyxia;
(d) Smoking within the tunnels shall be prohibited at all
times;
(e) An assumed
presence of landfill gas should be adopted at all times by maintenance workers and
a strictly regulated "work permit procedure" involving training,
ventilation, gas monitoring (as detailed in the Construction recommendations
section), safety tracking and communication with maintenance staff, enforcement
of the no smoking order and use of only intrinsically safe equipment and
electrical leads;
(f) Monitoring
for methane, carbon dioxide and oxygen as recommended above shall be conducted
using equipment with the following indication ranges.
(i) Methane 0-100%LEL
and 0-100%v/v
(ii) Carbon
dioxide 0-100%
(iii) Oxygen 0-21%

Measures to Mitigate the Water Quality Impact During the Operation
of the Project
To mitigate the water quality impact during the operation of the
Project :
(a) A surface water drainage system shall be provided to collect
operational tunnel seepage during the operation of the Project. Where oils and
lubricating fluids could be spilt, the operational tunnel discharge and track
runoff should pass through oil and grit/silt interceptors/chambers to remove
oil, grease and sediment before being pumped to the public storm water drainage
system via a rising main. However, washing water from regular tunnel washing
shall be directed to foul sewers after pre-treatment;
(b) All silt traps and oil interceptors shall be regularly cleaned
and maintained during the operation of the Project;
(c) Contents of the oil interceptors shall be collected for reuse,
or transferred to an appropriate disposal facility; and

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
隧道及車站建造工程期間的水質影響緩解措施
下列措施以緩解進行隧道及車站建造工程期間所造成的水質影響：
(a) 隨挖隨填的隧道工程須分段進行，以限制在雨季 (四月至九月 )施工區所產生的徑流量。在暴雨期間，用作即場回填而臨時露天存放的挖掘物料應用帆布或同類質地布料覆蓋。任何沖出的建築或挖掘物料在流入雨水排水系統之前，應先流經合適的沉積物捕集裝置。從隧道泵出的地下水應排入裝有沉積物捕集裝置的排水渠道，以提高沉降率及清除淤泥；
(b) 薄壁隔牆建造工程及獨立泥漿收集系統所用完的斑脫土泥漿或其他泥灌漿，須在切實可行情況下予以收集、重新調和及再用。
附件 D
進行填海及其他建造工程期間的水質影響緩解措施
下列措施以緩解進行填海及其他建造工程期間所造成的水質影響：
(a) 任何機械抓斗須妥為設計及保養，確保在施工期間升高的時候不會造成濺溢，並穩固密封。挖掘污泥的時候，須採用閉合防滲的抓斗；
(b) 在進行挖泥及填土作業期間，挖泥區周圍須設置淤泥擋板，但不應對航道的輪船及渡輪航行構成危險；
(c) 所有船隻的大小須合適，以免在施工期間船隻行駛或螺旋槳拍打沖擊使海水變混濁；
(d) 在施工期間，工地或傾倒物料地點範圍的水面，不應出現泡沫、油、油脂、浮渣、垃圾或其他令人討厭的物質；
(e) 駁船及底卸式駁船在裝載物料時須小心操控，以防挖掘物料濺入周圍的水中，所裝載的物料不應過滿，以免在裝卸或運輸途中造成物料或污水溢流；
(f) 工地的瓦礫碎屑及垃圾須妥為收集、處理及處置，以免進入水柱影響水質；
(g) 為防溢出的燃料流進沿岸水域，所有燃料缸及燃料貯存區須可上鎖，並設於以堤圍密封的範圍，其容量應相等於最大燃料缸的貯存量 1.1倍；及
(h) 建造工程人員在工地所排放的污水，須接駁排入現有的污水渠或污水處理設施。應提供活動的化糞式廁所，供建造工人使用。

負責在火車每天運作前為每條行車線進行安全檢查的員工，必須接受使用手提氣體探測設備的訓練。量度甲烷和二氧化碳濃度須為每天隧道安全檢查工作的一部分。如甲烷濃度超出爆炸濃度下限百分之十，須加強通風，並不得展開火車服務，直至 甲烷濃度回落至爆炸濃度下限百分之十以下。如甲烷濃度超出爆炸濃度下限百分之二十，所有人員均須撤離隧道，火車服務不得展開，並須加強通風，直至甲烷濃度回落至爆炸濃度下限百分之十以下，火車服務方可展開。
(b)
根據更改環境許可證申請書編號VEP-142/2004所載資料，許可證持有人由2004年7月開始，須每兩星期進行一次安全檢查，檢查次數合共不得少於12次，以代替上文(a)項的每天安全檢查，。除檢查次數外，量度程序及規定須與(a)項所說明的資料一致。檢查次數、程序及規定如有任何更改，必須獲得署長批准。
(c) 所有在隧道內工作的維修人員和車站職員，應接受訓練，以認識有關堆填區沼氣危險及引起窒息的蹟象和徵兆；
(d) 隧道內任何時間均不准吸煙；
(e) 維修工人在任何時間均應假設堆填區沼氣存在，並應制訂嚴格的「工作許可證程序」，包括訓練、通風系統、氣體監測 (詳述於建造工程建議部分 )、維修人員的安全追蹤和聯絡、執行嚴禁吸煙指令，以及只限使用本質安全的設備和電線；
(f) 上文建議的甲烷、二氧化碳和氧氣的監測工作，須使用設有下列顯示幅度的設備進行。
|
(i) 甲烷 |
0-100%LEL 及容積百分比0-100% |
|
(ii) 二氧化碳 |
0-100% |
|
(iii) 氧氣 |
0-21% |

工程項目營運期間的水質影響緩解措施
在工程項目營運期間緩解水質影響的措施：
(a) 工程項目營運期間，須設置地面排水系統，以收集因運作而由隧道滲出的水。如果有可能溢出油類及潤滑液，因運作而由隧道排放的物質及車軌徑流須先經過油類及砂礫 /淤泥阻截器 /收集箱，以清除油、油脂和沉積物，然後才經上升總管排入公共雨水渠系統。然而，一般用以清洗隧道的洗滌水須先經預處理後才引至污水渠；
(b) 在工程項目營運期間，所有淤泥捕集裝置及截油器均須定期清洗及修護；
(c) 須收集截油器內的物質循環再用，或轉送至適當的處置設施；及
(d) 設置衛生設備及排水系統時，須參考有關須經由環境保護署評論的排水渠圖則事宜的《專業人士環保事務諮詢委員會專業守則
5/93》。
