Environment monitoring mainly focus on environment and water protection of parts like super-major bridge across river, tunnel longer than 3000 m, borrow pit and spoil ground, embankment, station yard, construction roads and construction camp etc during construction. Great attention to practical situation for environmental and water protection measures for national (provincial) nature reserves, water conservation districts and sections across Yellow River and important water areas as well as involving ancient Great Wall, preservation of cultural relics, etc shall be paid.

Material verification and summary of borrow pit and spoil ground as well as check of final rectification effect of such borrow pit and spoil ground shall be conducted.

The effect of Lvliangshan Tunnel and Xingwangmao Tunnel water gushing shall be traced; problem spotted in 2008 shall be traced.

According to the arrangement of Project Department by Taizhongyin Company, annual environment control in 2009 organized jointly by Engineering Department, water and soil conservation monitoring unit as well as water and soil conservation supervision unit is special inspection of borrow pit and spoil ground. The joint inspection has contributed to further understanding on restoration status of entire borrow pit and spoil ground.


1. Borrow pit situation

58 borrow pits in 17 sections were investigated in Mid 2009 Investigation.

52 borrow pits in 17 sections were investigated in Annual 2009 Investigation.

By the end of 2009, borrowing work of entire borrow pit had been completed. Based on 58 borrow pits in investigation, side slope of some borrow pits shall be repaired. There is a little restoration work and there is little difficulty in restoration.

Borrow pit by China Railway Erju Co. Ltd. finished the handing over procedure with local land and resources department, signing Agreement on Land Rehabilitation, Woodland Rehabilitation and Vegetation Recovery for Temporary Ground of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway (Borrow Pits and Spoil Ground) and Handing-over Document. 90% of borrow pit by China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. is recovered and to be handed over after borrowing soil area verification by local land and resources department. Vast majority of borrow pit by China State Construction is recovered and can be handed over.

2. Spoil ground situation

137 spoil grounds in 17 sections were investigated in mid 2009 investigation.



153 spoil grounds in 17 sections were investigated in 2009 joint investigation.

Spoil grounds along the whole Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway mainly located around China Communications Construction Company Ltd., China State Construction, China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and each major tunnel. The investigation indicates that spoil ground in desert region west to the Suide, Shannxi whose height is no higher than fiver meter and after segregation, slope setting and top leveling can be recovered basically. Party of spoil ground east to Suide is recovered, or can be filled and leveled up to reclaim land or can be used for second cultivation; some part of spoil ground with weak retaining and drainage design cannot be recovered entirely with difficulty in “Blocking first& abandon second”.

3. Impact of water gushing of tunnel

Investigation indicated that water inflow at Lvliangshan Tunnel Entrance contracted by China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. reduced from 180T/h to 100T/h by the end of year. There is little water inflow at No.2 Inclined Shaft and much water inflow at entrance. Currently there are three teams blocking the water on construction, which reduced water inflow. 150T/h water is supplied for over 1000 persons and animals of surrounding Xiangyang Village and Potou Village flowing through clean-water reservoir and pump station.

For Lvliangshan Tunnel Exit Section contracted by China Railway No.3 Engineering Group Co., Ltd., total water yield of tunnel is 100T/h; blocking water work is undergoing and water can be obtained from self-aid well. Water can be distributed to villagers through car.

For Xingwangmao Tunnel contracted by China Railway Tunnel Stock Co., Ltd., Water gushing mainly concentrated on entrance and No.3 inclined shaft, there is no increase on drainage capacity. In May, 2008, water from No.2 inclined shaft submerged some farm land and the water gushing didn’t stop until 2009. The surrounding submerged farmland of No.2 inclined shaft was dry and cultivation was recovered. The trees grew well.

4. Protection of cultural relics

The relics of Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty beside Hequan Town route in Dingbian County by China State Construction were well protected and subgrade engineering was completed.

Design drawings for changing road into bridge at the relics of Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty in Yang’er Village of Jingbian County by China Railway Erju Co., Ltd. had arrived in September 2009 and construction of the bridge had been completed.


1. Recovery Agreement on Si’er’tan Mixing Station located at Habahu Nature Reserve by China



Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. shall be approved by competent department of nature reserve and shall be deemed to be void if only there is agreement signed with villagers.

2. Demolition work of bridge of construction roads for Yongning Yellow River Super-major Bridge by China Tiesiju Civil Engineering Group Co., Ltd. shall be arranged timely and construction material in riverway like steel tube shall be removed to ensure smooth passing of ice flood of Yellow River in spring of next year.

3. If building stones processing cannot stop by local villagers on spoil ground after construction, the construction unit cannot conduct spoil ground recovery timely; or local government required to recovery the spoil ground by themselves (such as Shaanxi Province), the construction unit shall negotiate with competent department superior to local township government to determine recovery responsibility, recovery standard and recovery date of spoil ground and sign effective agreement for timely handing over.


From May 7 to May 16, 2010 and from October 24 to November 2, OASIS participated in the second joint inspection on environment and water protection organized by Engineering Department of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Co., Ltd.

Implementation in 2010 focused on the following content:

Cross-river super-major bridges and tunnels of 3000m or above long depended on rectification effects of final spoil grounds; restoration of land ocupation for girder fabrication yards, construction roads, construction camps, mixing stations and construction processing areas was investigated and comprehended, together with conditions of boiler room, sewage treatment station and aoustic barrier construction of post-station engineering; and final remedies for water burst in Lvliangshan Tunnel and rectification results of problems raised in the last report were traced.

Mid-2010 investigation covered 16 borrow pits and 93 spoil grounds in 15 sections in total. Investigation in 2010 covered 3 borrow pits and 53 spoil grounds, 11 mixing stations and rebar processing areas, 3 girder fabrication yards, 8 construction camps, 10 sewage treatment places and 14 boiler rooms in 15 sections in total.


1. Borrow pit and spoil ground situation

Restoration and handover of borrow pits were early implemented, as a result, borrow pits along the whole railway were well restored.

All borrow pits and spoil grounds by China Railway Erju Co., Ltd. and China State Construction had been handed over; protection and restoration of most spoil grounds by other units had been completed and was under handover successively; protection of a small number of spoil grounds needed to be completed as soon as possible.

A common problem for borrow pits lied in that, revegetation at the surface of borrow pits, other than reclaimed ones, slowly progressed, due to lack of collection of topsoil before earth borrowing by construction unit and difficulty in collection arising from thin topsoil in borrow pits in desert areas. Another reason was less annual rainfall in northwest districts.

3. Pollution prevention measures

All of the 11 sewage treatment stations in this investigation had been completed and under equipment debugging.

41 boilers in 32 stations adopted 0.21-1.4MW double-layer fire grate hot-water boiler in accordance with environmental protection requirements respectively. Boiler rooms had been completed, installation of boilers would be completed and stoking would be performed next to test smoke.

33 acoustic barriers were set up along Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway based on requirements from Environmental Impact Report. It was known that design of acoustic barriers along the railway had been completed but not been constructed yet.

4. About water burst in Lvliangshan Tunnel

It was known that effluent at the entrance of Lvliangshan Tunnel remained around 800T/h and villages such as Xiangyang Village and Potou Village in surrounding areas were supplied with water by clean-water reservoir and pump station daily. It was also known that there was no complaint from local residents on water use so far.


1. Construction of acoustic barriers along the railway had not been started. As trial operation was to be performed along the railway, difficulties would be brought to construction, as a result, construction should be accelerated, or inspection and acceptance of environmental protection would be directly impacted.



2. Restoration of temporary land for construction should be performed in strict accordance with Land Acquisition Agreement while that of girder fabrication yards, construction camps, mixing stations and material processing areas should be sufficiently emphasized on and completed before complete withdrawal of construction unit so as to prevent losses from second approaching to the site.

3. Due to changes in management personnel for environment and water protection in final engineering phase by construction unit, continuity of environment and water protection should be paid attention to and collection, accumulation and preservation of relevant data on environment and water protection engineering well performed to make preparations for inspection, acceptance and handover of environmental protection projects.

3.6 Monitoring implementation during operation in 20113.6.1 Important contents of monitoring

According to arrangement by Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company, from July 1, 2011 to July 15, 2011, OASIS participated in joint inspection on environment and water protection during operation of Taiyuan-Zhongyuan (Yinchuan) Railway organized by Engineering Department of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company.

Joint inspection by four units organized by Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company covered 19 in total stations and back-turning sections, 25 borrow pits, 96 spoil grounds, 6 tunnels, 7 construction camps and mixing stations, 20 bridges, 9 subgrades, 5 acoustic barriers and 4 girder fabrication yards, 191 in total construction work sites.

Monitoring during operation mainly included closing and restoration of environment and water protection during construction; construction, use and monitoring of post-station engineering; trial operation of the railway.


1. Trial operation of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway

Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway was completed in December 2010 and came into operation on January 11, 2011. In 2011, 15 pairs of passenger trains and around 20 pairs of freight trains, with prominent changes in through put, passed through Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway.

As of July 2011, closing engineering of railway included: Liulin Station of Altered Design I had not been constructed due to lack of drawings; engineering at the newly added Ningdong Station and Yingshuiqiao Mashalling Station had not been completed and would be extended to early next year; Ningdong Girder Fabrication Yard supporting Ningdong Station were still under girder fabrication; acoustic barrier engineering would be completed at the end of October 2011 as contracted.

Co., Ltd. and the people’s government of Mantang town

3. Bridge situation

Bridge engineering along the whole Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway had been completed with good restoration of construction sites. Temporary lands of individual construction sites had not yet completely restored.

4. Tunnel situation

Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway tunnel engineering had been completed and put into use. Most construction sites had been restored. At present, the main problem lied in incompleteness of restoration of some construction sites.

5. Environment and water protection controlling facilities and subgrade sideslope greening at the station

After opening of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway, boilers attached to the station had been put into use, but not monitored as of 2011. Sewage treatment facilities had been completed, but some under investigation had basically not or not yet put into formal use due to insufficent treating water volume. Protection and greening for most of subgrade sideslope along the whole railway were well performed, but vegetation at sections from Dingbian to Yinchuan slowly or hardly grew due to poor soil and less rainfall.

6. Restoration of temporary land



In terms of restoration of temporary land such as construction camps, mixing station, girder fabrication yards and construction roads, restoration of temporary land by a few units was not completely performed, which could not meet acceptance requirements.

7. Acoustic barrier situation

It was known from Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company that among 78 acoustic barrier engineering along Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway raised by Environmental Impact Assessment Report, the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation, the design unit, determined 31 acoustic barrier engineering at last in December 2010 due to rechanneling of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway, road converted into bridge and increase in demolishing amount.

As of July 2011, acoustic barrier engineering had been constructed (or under construction) in 9 places such as Shuangwudu Village, Shang’an Village, Zhaojiazhuang Village, Qianzhaojiazhaung Village, Houzhaojiazhuang Village, Shangshuixi Village, Xiashuixi Village, Liulin County, Sibaishu Village of Jingbian County and Shijiawan Middle School in Suide County.

As of August 2013, 9 barriers had not been completed, 2 embarkments had been completed and bridges had not completed. Limited by operation of railways, all was estimated to be completed as of the end of 2013, among which, 400m acoustic barrier engineering in Xiaobeige Village had been subcontracted to Southwest Ring Channel Engineering, construction of which was postponed at that time.

1. Risk reassessment for Jundu Spoil Ground

Jundu Spoil Ground at No.2 Inclined Shaft of Liulin Tunnel by China Communications Construction Company Ltd. was located at less than 200m above Jundu Village and Wubao Yellow River Road Bridge, thus it had a sensative location. This investigation found the spoil ground, as a permanent one, had been equipped with a retaining wall, but drainage project had not been built. Furthermore, due to waste slag from other engineering on the surface of spoil ground, total load of this spoil ground increased. To ensure life safety of villagers dwelled under the spoil ground, we recommended Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company entrust relevant units to perform risk reassessment on Jundu Spoil Ground so as to ensure long-term stability of Jundu Spoil Ground.

2. Pay attention to serious water and soil loss at Wubao Station

This investigation found water drained from Wubao Station by China and Communications Construction Company Ltd. and subgrade culverts was directly brushing station sideslope or spoil grounds instead of being led into reliable local drainage channels, which had led to serious water and soil loss around the station yard and harmed safety of station yard; some drainage ditches at subgrade sideslope had sunk and disconnected, with obvious gully in sideslope; what’s more, water and soil loss in 5# spoil ground would harm safety of village roads and residences on hillside. Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company was recommended to request relevant units to take measures as soon as possible for complete settlement.

3. About restoration, acceptance and handover of borrow pits and spoil grounds

In terms of restored borrow pits and spoil grounds, construction unit should keep video data and handle handover procedures with local land and resource department in time, with those with respect to temporary land acquisition in riverway requiring formal signatures and seals by water conservancy department so as to prevent second occupation of spoil ground, which would impact acceptance of environment and water protection.

Local villagers were still using spoil grounds which could not reach restoration requirements, so construction unit should reach a spoil ground restoration agreement with local units using spoil



grounds, which specified requirements and responsibilities for restoration and sealed and approved by county-level land and resource department.

Spoil ground at 2# Inclined Shaft at the entrance of Lvliangshan Tunnel by China Railway 12th

Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and spoil ground at the exit of No.1 Tunnel in Miaojiaping by China Railway 16th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. could not meet acceptance requirements, so construction unit needed to make timely arrangement so as to early complete restoration of spoil grounds.

4. About monitoring of environmental protection controlling facilities

After completion of acoustic barrier engineering, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Company needed to make timely arrangement for monitoring of effects of using environmental protection controlling facilities, including boilers, water treatment facilities and acoustic barrier, so as to provide evidence for inspection and acceptance of environmental protection.

4. Monitoring over Completion Acceptance of Environmental Protection

The project was fully opened for trial operation on January 11, 2011 and it entered into the stage for completion acceptance of environmental protection then.

According to the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Administrative Measures over Construction Project’s Completion Acceptance of Environmental Protection, the project has implemented the system of environmental impact, as well as the “three simultaneity” system for the environmental protection facilities and the principal part of the project to be designed, constructed and put into operation simultaneously.

4.1 Investigation over tunnelling worksTaiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway has totally constructed 109 tunnels, which, with an overall length of 180126 linear meters, accounts for 19.15% of the line length. Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway has newly constructed 25 tunnels with a length more than 1000 meters, 13 of which have a length more than 3000 meters: to be specific, the tunnel holding a length more than 10Km includes Lvliang Mountain Tunnel (single track both for the left and right), Lishi Tunnel, Wubu Tunel, Suide Tunnel, Hengshan Tunnel, Xingwangmao Tunnel and so on 7 tunnels in toal; futhermore, the left track and right track of the longest Lvliang Mountain Tunnel respectively have a length of 20785 linear meters and 20772 linear meters.

4.1.1 Overview

The tunnel construction for Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway has been fully completed and the construction camps have also been fully restored.

4.1.2 Impact of tunnel water inflow on the surroundings

1. Lvliang Mountain Tunnel

(1) Overview



Located in the west of Shanxi Province, Lvliang Mountain Tunnel runs through the denudation area in the middle sourthern section of Lvliang Mountain; the entrance of the Tunnel is located in the loess gully of the convergence zone between Jinzhong Basin and Lvliang Mountain; the overall terrain within the Tunnel area is high in the middle while low at both sides, as well as high in the north while low in the south, the sea-level elevation of which is between 1080～1750m.

Lvliang Mountain Tunnel will be divided into two bid sections for construction: to be specific, China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. will undertake the construction for the entrance section, that is, the ZK-Ⅲ bid, of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel while China Railway 3rd Bureau Group Co., Ltd. will undertake the exit section, that is, ZK-Ⅳ bid of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel.

Lvliang Mountain Tunnel runs through the middle section of Lvliang Mountain; during the tunnel construction, the water inflow is huge so that a discharge point centering on the tunnel has been formed.

In 2007, the effluent at the entrance of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel was as huge as about hundreds of tons per hour while that for the exit was about dozens of tons per hour.

In 2008, the water inflow of 2# inclined shaft at the entrance of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel was about 200t/h (maximally about 1450t/h), which affected Xiangyang Village and so on seven villages of Daohe Town, Fenyang City with more than 2000 households and about 10000 people involved; the water inflow of 3# and 4# inclined shafts at the exit section of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel was about 200-300t/h while that of 5# inclined shaft was about 400-500t/h, which affected the drinking for eight villages around Wucheng Station with 2800 households and about 9000 people involved.

In 2009, the water inflow at the entrance of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel undertaken by China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. was maintained at 100t/h: specifically, the water inflow was less at the 2# inclined shaft but was more at the entrance; moreover, as for the exit section of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel, the total water outflow was about 180t/h.

In 2009, three water plugging teams were still conducting the construction so that the water inflow was decreased to some extent. In 2009, China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. continued to provide water for more than 1000 people and animals in the surrounding Xiangyang Village, Potou Village, etc through clear water tank and pump station.

As for the exit section of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel constructed by China Railway 3rd Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the total water outflow was about 180t/h: in addition to the water plugging construction, it also took water from the self-served water wells and delivered water to the villagers through special vehicle.

After 2010, the water outflow of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel was drained from the entrance of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel, the flow rate per hour of which was about 800-1000 cubic meters.

(2) Countermeasures

Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Co., Ltd. has always attached great importance to the water inflow issue of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel. In January 2007, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Company invited Taiyuan University of Technology to conduct the engineering hydrogeological environment impact assessment over Lvliang Mountain Tunnel. During May 20-21, 2008, the argumentation meeting over the hydrological environmental protection measures taken for Lvliang Mountain Tunnel of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway was held in Taiyuan; to be specific, with the presence of six experts from three units, the meeting developed the expert opinions.

Aiming at the water outflow of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Company and the construction units had taken the following countermeasures:

Since September 2006, China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. had built 17 kilometers’ pipeline, pumping station, pool, etc for the water delivery of the local, conducted direct water delivery for some villages, and made tens of millions of Yuan’s advance payment;

Since July and August in 2007, China Railway 3rd Bureau Group Co., Ltd. made advance payment to deliver water to the villagers everyday so as to solve the problem of drinking water;

Since December 2007, it invited professional water plugging team to conduct the water plugging so that the tunnel water inflow was quickly stabilized at about 200T/h-400T/h;

On September 26, 2008, China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. invited Taiyuan Monitoring Station to conduct monitoring over the water quality and the monitoring items included: PH, turbidity, odor & taste, total coliform group, heavy metal and so on 30 items. The sampling place: the pool of the Headquarters. The result was: the monitoring items could meet the requirements of Hygienic Standard For Drinking Water (Hygienic Standard For Drinking Water).

Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Company had organized two expert argumentation meetings, as well as had entrusted the design unit and Shanxi Hydraulic Design Institute to jointly study a permanent solution for water supply.

The water inflow generated due to the tunnel construction brought about a certain impact to the life of the people around and had ever resulted into quite a few contradictions. However, China Railway 12th and 3rd Bureaus Group Co., Ltd. took an active attitude to communciate with the local and made advance payment to take various measures to solve the water difficult for the villagers; meanwhile, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Headquarters also carried out active coordination with the relevant departments to facilitate the study and implementation of the permanent solution. Under the various efforts, the social order in this region was stable. Therefore, the Public Security Bureau of Fenyang City presented China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. with an award inscribed with “chivalrous deed to eulogize the flourishing age and cooperative manner to ensure safety”.

(3) Final solution

In 2010, Ministry of Railways signed an agreement with Shanxi Province, upon which Ministry of Railways and Shanxi Province would respectively provide 50 million Yuan and 20 million Yuan to comprehensively treat the impacts brought about by the water outflow of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel to the local hydrogeology and the villagers’ life. The concrete implementation scheme would be uniformly arranged by Shanxi Province.

In 2011, the relevant investigation revealed that China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. was carrying out the water interception works at the 3# inclined shaft within 8km of the exit of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel: to be specific, it was to gather the water inflow at the upper part of the tunnel to the water storage tank and then pump the water along the 2 kilometers’ pipeline into the 1000 cubic meters’ water collection tank outside the 3# inclined shaft and then the water would be discharged out into the river and then the water would return to Wucheng Reservoir to eventually reduce the impact brought about by the tunnel water inflow to Wucheng region. After the completion of the works, it was expected that 300-400 cubic meters could flow back per hour.

To solve the water shortage problem for the people, the local government had decided and managed to dig a well and establish a water storage tank in the Old Xiangyangquang Courtyard, which could solve the water supply for 400 households in Xiangyang Village and Potou Village. Meanwhile, the local government would continue to dig wells to successively solve the domestic drinking water problem for the surrounding villages suffering water shortage.

In addition, the local water department had newly built an Anjiazhuang reservoir dam at the 3 kilometers of the entrance of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel to intercept the water inflow at the tunnel entrance and use the water to regulate the local water supply.

Till August 2013, the local comprehensive improvement works were still on.

2. Other tunnel water inflow situations

(1) Water inflow situation of Xingwangmao Tunnel constructed by China Railway Tunnel Bureau

In 2008, the water inflow of Xingwangmao Tunnel’s 2# inclined shaft increased for a time, which then maintained at about 30 tons/hour. The water inflow flowed downwards along the drainage ditch of the slope till the water interception dam hundreds of meters away from the lower reaches of the spoil ground’s retaining wall. The water had ever broken through the drainage ditch and flooded the surrounding farmland. Till April 2009, the water in the farmland had receded and the second ploughing had been realized for part of the farmland.



Photo 4-14: The farmland flooded on May 28, 2008 Photo 4-15: The second ploughing had been realized for part of the farmland till April 22, 2009

China Railway Tunnel Bureau had always attached great importance to the impact brough about by the water inflow of Xingwangmao Tunnel’s 2# inclined shaft. In June 2008, China Railway Tunnel Bureau conducted measurement over the farmland flooded by the water inflow together with the Town Land Resources Bureau, Township Government and Village Head to preliminarily determine that the water inflow flooded 330 mu farmland and 2883 trees of Kongjiayan Village. Meanwhile, the Project Department also carried out mointoring over the domestic drinking water level for the surrounding 37 affected village households.

In addition to the construction of water storage tanks for the villagers to provide the water supply on a regular basis to meet the temporary needs, after the project completion, the Project Department also carried out the compensation according to the compensation scheme.

(2) The water inflow generated during the construction for 1# & 2# inclined shafts of Hengshan Tunnel, Weijialou 3# Tunnel and Miaojiaping Tunnel had aslo exerted impacts in varying degree on the surrounding villagers. Through temporary water supply and construction of water wells, the construction unit had satisfactorily settled the impats exerted by the water inflow generated during the tunnel construction.

The vibration generated during the construction for Xingwangmao Tunnel undertaken by China Railway Tunnel Bureau, Hengshan Tunnel undertaken by China Railway 1st Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Baijia Mountain Tunnel undertaken by China Railway 21st Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Wubu Tunel undertaken by China Railway 16th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and other tunnels had also ever brought about a certain impact on the surrounding villagers’ housing. Under the joint efforts of the construction unit and the local government, temporary resettlement and compensation were carried out appropriately so that no negative impact was caused.

For example, to solve the impact exerted by the vibration due to the construction for Xingwangmao Tunnel undertaken by China Railway Tunnel Bureau on the surrounding villagers’ housing, on October 12-13, 2008, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Suide Headquarters conducted a filed investigation over the impact exerted by the construction vibration on the cave dwelling jointly with Design Institute, Construction Unit, County Land Resources Bureau, County Government and Villagers' Representatives: the field investigation revealed that 37 households in total were involved and the impact on 6 of them were relatively more serious. As for the 6 households suffering more serious cave dwelling crack, temporary resettlement and compensation were carried out in place.

4.1.4 Impact of petroleum on the surrounding environment

During the tunnel construction, if the waster oil gas of the air compressor’s air storage tank was discharged improperly, it might probably pollute the surrounding soil and groundwater; during the construction of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway, the similar problem had also ever taken place. Through the constant supervision and inspection by Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Company and the Environmental Protection Supervision Unit of the construction bid section, the impact exerted by the waste oil gas of the air compressor’s air storage tank on the surrounding environment was solved successively.

5. Implementation of the Ecological Environment Measures

5.1 Occupation of landThe permanet land occupation area for subgrade, station yard, tunnel, etc of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway is 4160.5hm2 while the temporary temporary for construction camp, construction road, spoil ground & borrow pit, etc is 2839.66 hm2.

5.2 Investigation over borrow pits5.2.1 Overview of the borrow pit

There are 307 borrow pits in total along the whole line of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway; to facilitate the inspection and acceptance by the local, according to the administrative divisions of the villagers, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Company has integrated the borrow pits into 170, which occupy a land area of 1313.32 hm2 and the borrowed soil volume of which is 5208.93 104m3. Meanwhile, the borrow pits are concentrated in Jingbian and Dingbian, as well as along the railway in the west of Dingbian.

There are four large-scale borrow pits with a single borrowed soil volume above 1 104m3, including Jinzhong City Yuci District Xiyan Village Borrow Pit 184.7 104m3 (DK16+150), Lvliang City Jiaocheng County Sanjiao Village Borrow Pit 110 104m3, Lvliang City Wenshui County Maxi Township Xiaonanyu Village Borrow Pit 190 104m3 and Yinchuan City Huangyangtan Borrow Pit 186.5 104m3 (on the right of LDK689+000).

Photo 5-1: Huangyangtan 2# Borrow Pit by China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd.

Photo 5-2: Xiyan Village Borrow Pit by China Railway 15th Bureau Group Co., Ltd.

By comparing the acutally borrowed soil volume of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway with the soil and water conservation scheme, it can be found that the acutally borrowed soil volume is 250 104m3 less than the 5459 104m3 of the soil and water conservation scheme while the land occupation area of the actual borrow pits is 25.29 hm2 more than that of the soil and water conservation scheme so that the total borrowed soil volume is close. However, there is a large difference for the land occupation number of the borrow pits, which shall be put down to the fact that most of the 59 borrow pits in the soil and water conservation scheme are designed as the centralized soil taking while the actual soil taking is carried out in a decentralized way; moreover, in the soil and water conservation scheme, there are still some borrow pits with the location having not been determined yet.

In addition, as for the borrow pits along the railway within Shaanxi Province, the groundwater level for some of them is high while the underground rock for some of them is hard so that the average soil taking depth of the borrow pits cannot meet the design requirements, which is the main reason



for the decentralized soil taking.

5.2.2 Restoration of the borrow pits

The restoration for the 170 borrow pits is sound and the handover formalities have been fully handled. Specifially, 8 borrow pits in total have been comprehensivly utilized and the comprehensive utilizations include power plant, resettlement place while the protective measures have been taken for the unused borrow pits. Furthermore, the actually completed land consolidation, earthing and reclamation are up to 683.40hm2, 354.04 hm2 and 233.6 hm2 respectively.

5.3 Investigation over spoil grounds5.3.1 Overview the spoil grounds

Covering a total area of 815.23 hm2 and with a total discarded soil (slag) volume of 5146.34 104m3, there are 289 spoil grounds in total along the whole line of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway. Specially, 52 spoil grounds in total have been comprehensively utilized and the comprehensive utilizations include brick factory, gravel field, livestock farm, etc; with a utilization rate of 24.3%, the volume of the utilized dicarded slag is 1248.59 104m3. Moreover, the protective measures have been taken for the unused spoil grounds.

According to the volume of the actually discarded soil (slag), there are 14 spoil grounds with a single volume of actually discarded soil (slag) up to 50 (including)-100 104m3, 71 spoil grounds with a single volume of actually discarded soil (slag) up to 20 (including)-50 104m3 and 184 spoil grounds with a single volume of actually discarded soil (slag) up to 2 (including)-20 104m3. In addition, there are 20 spoil grounds with a single volume of actually discarded soil (slag) less than 2 104m3.

Most of the regions Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway passes through are the loess gullies; therefore, according to the requirements of environmental protection and water conservation, the location of the spoil grounds shall be combined with the local land planning: specifically, the spoil grounds shall occupy the uncultivated land and marginal land as much as possible, as well as shall give priority to take advantage of the natural gully top or side; moreover, the discarded soil shall be utilized for land reclamation and the corresponding engineering measures shall be taken to prevent soil & water loss.

5.3.2 Restoration of the spoil grounds

The restoration of the spoil grounds are mainly divided into two types: the first one is that after the construction unit has completed the restoration in accordance with the requirements of the land acquisition agreement, the local competent department shall conduct the inspection and accetpance; the second one is that as for the spoil grounds required to be used by the local, the construction unit



shall sign an agreement with local user unit, which shall be examined and approved by the local competent department for land resources, and then the restoration of the spoil grounds shall be undertaken by the relevant local units.

5.3.3 Investigation over the key spoil grounds

1. Overview of Jundu Village Spoil Ground

Jundu Village Spoil Ground of Lulin Tunnel 2# Inclined Shaft constructed by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. was originally arranged for temporary storage so that it was not a real spoil ground. The total volume of the discarded slag was nearly 30 104m3, 20 104m3

of which was transported out in succession; till May 2010, there was still nearly 10 104m3 left in Jundu Village Spoil Ground. The slope toe of the spoil ground was about 200m away from Jundu Village and the top height of the stacked slag was about 65m.

Jundu Village Spoil Ground was located in the corrie behind Jundu Village in the west of Wubu Yellow River Highway Bridge: the valleys around were steep so that in case of the collapse of the spoil ground, the consequence would be rather severe.

In January 2010, upon the application by the construction unit, as well as through the joint argumentation by the design, construction & supervision units and Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Company, it was decided that the remaining slag would not be transported out any more and the Spoil Ground would be transformed into a permanent one. In April 2010, the scheme was approved by the local government.



In 2011, according to the design drawing of Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Co., Ltd., the retaining wall for Jundu Village Spoil Ground had been completed while the water interception & drainage works had not been implemented yet.

Co., Ltd.

Photo 5-53: The retaining wall for Jundu Village Spoil Ground by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. had been completed

In August 2012, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Co., Ltd. signed the Management Contract over the Spoil Ground at the Mouth of Liulin Tunnel 2# Inclined Shaft for the Newly-constructed Railyway from Taiyuan to Zhongwei (Yinchuan) with Liulin County People's Government of Shaanxi Province (Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Coordination Leading Group) (TZYTGHZ [2012] No.38). The Contract stipulated that Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Co., Ltd. shall contribute 2.5 million Yuan as the treatment cost for the spoil ground, which would be used in fixed allocations by Liulin County People's Government of Shaanxi Province (Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Coordination Leading Group): under the premise that the safety demand shall be satisfied, the Coordination Leading Group shall eleminate the safe hidden troubles of the spoil ground, and shall live up to the standards for water conservation, as well as shall be responsible for the treatement results.

Till August 2013, Jundu Village Spoil Ground at the Mouth of Liulin Tunnel 2# Inclined Shaft was still under treatment.

3. Spoil Ground of Wucheng Reservoir constructed by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd.

In 2010, over the issue that the Spoil Ground of Wucheng Tunnel constructed by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. affected the spillway of the reservoir, through the negotiation between China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. and the people in charge of the reservoir, the following decision was made: the slag in the spillway would be removed. Now all the slag in the spillway of the reservoir had been completely removed.



Photo 5-56: The slag in the spillway of the Wucheng Reservoir had been completely removed (year of 2010)

4. Sanchuan River Spoil Ground of China Communications Construction Co., Ltd.

Through the contact with the local water conservancy department for many times conducted by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd., upon the fact the Spoil Ground had been flattened into ground, the conclusion and decision were respectively made that it had been available for second ploughing and it would not be removed any more. In July 2009, Lijiawan Township Government of Liulin County agreed to the acceptance for the Spoil Ground.

5. Spoil Ground of Wubu Station

The 5# Spoil Ground of Wubu Station constructed by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. was adjacent to the subgrade while there were houses and village roads beside the moutain slope. Instead of being extended to the local drainage canals, the subgrade drainage culvert and the subgrade drainage ditch directly eroded the 5# Spoil Ground: during the investigation conducted in 2011, it had been found that there had been the obvious gully formed in the Spoil Ground so that the soil and water loss was very serious, which would threaten the safety of the village roads.



Photo 5-58: Serious soil and water loss of 5# Spoil Ground of Wubu Station by China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. (year of 2011)

During the investigation conducted in 2013, it was found that the subgrade drainage was connected to the gully under the slope through the pipe culvert with three wells set up in the middle. The investigation also revealed that a drainage culvert had been broken, which would probably lead to the blockage of the wells. Moreover, this drainage scheme still held the hidden troubles for water and soil loss.

3. Situation and analysis of soil and water conservation

The Pilot Area of Haba Lake Nature Reserve, which the Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway passes through, belongs to the desert vegetation belt, where the vegetation coverage is low. Due to the serious ground cutting in the place of Baijitan Nature Reserve, which the Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway passes through, there are many gullies generated by water and soil loss and the ecological system is very fragile in the Nature Reserve.

Both of the two nature reserves are located within the bid section of China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. In accordance with the design requirements, during the railway construction, China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. had used the excavated earthwork as the backfil soil within the scope of the bid section as much as possible, as well as had conducted the centralized soil borrowing/discarding away from the reserve; at the same time, the construction unit had carried out the strict boudary construction, strengthened greening & vegetation restoration and controlled the solid waste emission so as to maximally reduced or mitigated the damage imposed oon the Reserve, as well as its surrounding earth’s surface and vegetation during the construction process. In fact, the railway construction eventually did not damage the integrity and biodiversity of the Reserve, as well as did not cause the change of the Nature Reserve’s ecological function.

5.4.2 Shanxi Xuegongling Province-level Nature Reserve

1. Relation between Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway and the Reserve


CK129+230～CK131+030 is the exit end of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel, the longest tunnel along the line; within the Reserve, the length of the Tunnel is 1800m; the average burial depth and the maximum burial depth within the Reserve are 75m and 120m respectively; meanwhile, the minimum burial depth at the exit is 5m.

CK131+030～CK131+280 is the bridge end of Yuanzewan Dadongchuan Super-major Bridge set to come across the old 307 National Highway and Dadongchuan River, which is the 32m beam; the old 307 National Highway is the boundary of the Reserve and the bridge length within the Reserve is 250m.

The actual line mileage of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel:

As for the entrance section of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel undertaken by China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the railway mileage is DK119+157 ～ DK129+255 with an overall length of 20.222Km; As for the exit section of Lvliang Mountain Tunnel undertaken by China Railway 3rd

Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the railway mileage is DK129+255～DK139+895 with an overall length of 21.335Km.



2. Situation and analysis of environmental and water protection

Lvliang Mountain Tunnel has passed through Xuegongling Nature Reserve from the underground so that the railway construction has exerted little impact on the surface’s natural ecology. However, the water inflow of Lvliang Mountain Tunne has changed the distribution of groundwater in Wucheng Region so that the potential impact on Xuegongling Nature Reserve shall be furhter observed.
