At present, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) railway needs to pay much attention to 2 main residual problems of spoil grounds along the whole line:

1. The retaining wall for Jundu Spoil Ground of No. 2 inclined shaft of Liulin Tunnel by CCCC has been finished, but the drainage engineering has not been built for spoil ground. According to introduction of construction unit, the discarded tunnel slags of railway engineering under construction are piled within outer edge 70m of spoil ground’s upper surface about 10m; this has increased the loading of spoil ground whose safety and stability problem has become more conspicuous.

Photo 54 The retaining wall of Jundu Spoil Ground by CCCC has been completed.

Photo 55 Jundu Spoil Ground by CCCC has no drainage works.

2. No. 5 spoil ground of Wubao Station by CCCC is adjacent to roadbed and beside the side of mountain slope is civilian buildings and village road. The discharge culvert and drainage ditch of roadbed are not extended to local drainage channels, but directly wash No. 5 spoil ground; at present, the spoil ground has formed the obvious gully with serious water and soil loss, which will directly threaten road safety.

Photo 56 No. 5 spoil ground of Wubao Station of CCCC has been washed by drainage of roadbed and culvert.

Photo 57 The water and soil loss of No. 5 spoil ground of Wubao Station by CCCC is very serious.

4.2 About Bridges

The bridges along the whole line of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) have been fully finished and the construction site has a good recovery.

4.4 Environmental Protection Treatment Facilities of Stations and Afforestation of Roadbed Side Slope

After opening of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) railway, the boilers matched to stations have been put into

10 Beijing OASIS Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. 2010 Environmental Monitoring Report of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway operation, but have no monitoring up to now.

According to the requirements of environmental impact report, 42 places have been conducted the sewage treatment along Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) railway (including newly-built station and existing station); the designed sewage treatment measures include septic tank, sedimentation tank of oil removal, anaerobic filter tank and subsurface flow constructed wetland, contact oxidation. The sewage treatment facilities of 19 investigated stations have been finished according to design requirements; partial facilities have started the trial operation but have not been put into formal operation due to insufficient amount of treated water.

Most roadbed side slopes along whole line have excellent protection and afforestation; but the vegeatation of roadbed side slope has difficulty to grow due to poor soil and little rain in partial sections of Dingbian-Yinchuan.

4.7 Protection for Ruins of Ming Great Wall

To protect the ruins of Ming Great Wall near DK381+878 by China Railway 2nd Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the

14 Beijing OASIS Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. 2010 Environmental Monitoring Report of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway newly-built small bridge of Ming Great Wall has been finished according to scheme of road changed to bridge (Photo 99).

The ruins of Ming Great Wall near DK510+600 by CSCEC is intact and the newly-built small bridge has been finished (Photo 100).

4.8 Compensation for Bursting Water of Lvliangshan Tunnel

At present, the external flow per hour from outlet to inlet of Lvliangshan Tunnel is about 800 m3 to 1,000m3.

In 2010, the Ministry of Railways signed the agreement with Shanxi Province; RMB 5×107 yuan and RMB 2×107 yuan were respectively invested to comprehensively deal with effluent impact of Lvliangshan Tunnel on local hydrogeololgy and villager’s life. Shanxi Province is responsible for arranging the specific implementation scheme.

During this investigation, it is observed that China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. is conducting water- interception engineering at 8 km to exit of Lvliangshan Tunnel: Store some bursting water of the tunnel to water storage pond, use pump to draw water to 1,000m3 collecting tank outside No. 3 inclined shaft through 2km pipeline, and then discharge it into river to return to Wucheng Reservoir and to reduce impact of tunnel bursting water on Wucheng area. After completion of engineering, it is predicted 300m3 to 400 m3 will be backflowed each hour.

To solve water shortage problem of 400 households in Xiangyang Village and Potou Village, the local government dug one new well and one water storage tank in Laoxiangyangquan yard. The local government will continue to dig the well to successively solve the drinking water problem of neighboring villages.

5. Problems and Suggestions 5.1 Conduct the review for Jundu Spoil Ground.

The Jundu Spoil Ground for No. 2 inclined shaft of Liulin Tunnel by CCCC is very sensitive because its position is set less than 200m between Jundu Village and upstream of Wubao Yellow River Road Bridge. During this investigation, it is observed that as permanent spoil ground, its retaining wall has been built, but the drainage works have not been built. What’s more, the discarded slags of the other railway engineering on surface of spoil ground have no doubt to aggravate the overall loading of spoil ground. To ensure safety of the ground, it is recommended Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) and construction units of railway passage at central south negotiate to review Jundu Spoil Ground together to ensure its long-term stability. 5.2 Pay attention to the connection between drainage ditch of Wubao Station and natural ditch.

Beijing OASIS Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. 15 2010 Environmental Monitoring Report of Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway During this investigation, it is observed that drainage ditch of Wubao Station, drainage ditch of roadbed culverts have no good connection with natural ditch, but directly wash side slope and spoil ground, which has lead to serious water and soil loss; some drainage ditches of roadbed side slope have sunk and broken, and the side slopes have had obvious gullies; the water and soil loss, especially that of No. 5 spoil ground, will endanger the safety of village roads and civilian buildings on mountain slope. It is recommended that Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Co., Ltd. ask the relevant units to take measures to solve this problem thoroughly.

5.3 Restoration and Acceptance of Borrow Pits and Spoil Grounds

For the restored borrow pits and spoil grounds, the construction unit shall leave image data and conduct handing- over procedure with local land department; if they have involved the temporary land acquisition of riverway, the department of waterworks need to have the signature and seal to avoid the second occupuation of this ground and to affect acceptance of enviromental and water protection.

The loca villagers are still using the spoil grounds that have not reached recovery requirements up to now; the construction units need to reach the recovery agreement of spoil ground with local units to clarify requirements and responsibilities and the bureau of land resources of county level needs to agree to seal.

The construction unit needs to arrange to finish the recovery for spoil ground of No. 2 inclined shaft at entrance of Lvliangshan Tunnel by China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and that at exit of Miaojiaping No. 1 tunnel by China Railway 16th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. as soon as possible.

5.4 After fully finishing sound barrier engineering, Taiyuan-Zhongwei (Yinchuan) Railway Co., Ltd. needs to arrange the monitoring work of environmental protection treatment facilities to finish its delivery and acceptance.
