DEFINITION AND AIM OF THE PROJECT:
Istanbul is a metropolitan city with a population of more than 10 million, nestling more
than the population of many countries. Population of Istanbul constantly grows because of
regional immigrations, employment opportunities, means of living and other reasons.
Parallel to this population growth, local passenger traffic also shows significant
increases.1.2 million people on average travel daily in Istanbul. Important part of this
activity is in the Anatolian territory of the city. Together with the launch of the bridges in
the Bosporus, an upsurge is observed in the number of passengers in the last thirty years.
According to the latest population census, there is 4,5 Million population and 1.200.000
employed in the Anatolian territory. 2,5 Million people live in the counties of Tuzla,
Pendik, Kartal, Maltepe, Kad köy and Ata ehir which are on the route of this line. As
business sites shift towards Dudullu and Kay sdag , number of business sites located here
are expected to raise by 155% until 2015. Meanwhile, population growth until 2025 is
estimated approximately at 100%.
Local passenger transportation is provided via private cars, service vehicles of
companies, minibuses operated by private persons and Public transportation vehicles of
IETT. Local travels, together with the effect of population growth and economical growth,
cause significant traffic jam. This is mainly because the roads have limited width, and
widening the roads is not possible as development areas have been settled right beneath the
roads. As no cure for these cases have been considered at earlier times, and lack of
preparations for public transportation through railway, new solutions have been pursued.
The location of the project zone in the center counties of Anatolian Territory, the existance
of Kocaeli Province on Istanbul connetion route and also the extention of the route along
the D-100 intercity Highway lead to decreasing the application of the elevated and faster
transportation systems. The spreading of Anatolian Territory along the Marmara coast and
the settlements in these narrow areas, the increasing population and uncontrolled
settlements in regions such as Pendik and Kaynarca, the heavy establishments of industry
in industrial zones areas such as Gebze and Tuzla and the parallel construction of roads to
coast are the main reasons. Substantially, main roads and secondary roads have been
constructed in this area, and the buildings are contrcuted around the roads.Furthermore
Istanbul, which is saturated with respect to population in the center of European side,
currently grows towards Ümraniye Ata ehir and Kartal location as settlement is under
control through sites and mass housing, and the construction field are available. Serious

traffic problems should arise as a result of this population growth.Serious traffic problems
should arise as a result of this population growth.
While demand for transportation and public transportation vehicles in parallel
gradually increase, private car usage becomes also widespread with regard to convenience
and comfort. Although number of vehicles gradually increases, amount and quality of
roads stay nearly constant. Consequently, it is not possible for the public transportation
system in the European Territory of Istanbul to meet the demand arising out of the growing
population and developing economical activities. Transportation needs innovation through
longer term solutions.
Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System with 25.9 km
length which is a study aiming to encourage the public to travel by public transportation
vehicles and to ease the traffic.
This projected metro line is a transit line towards business sites and trade centers in
the counties like Kad köy, Kartal, Maltepe and Pendik. Integration of this point with
planned lines (Marmaray and Ümraniye-Üsküdar Metro Line), proximity of Kad köy coast
and convenience the using seaway,and proximity with important housing and shopping
centers like Kozayata , and its being on the connection roads with E-5, has a vital
importance for rapid transportation.
On the other hand, considering that traffic flow is not eased despite the fact that there are
sufficient highways in the area, it is nearly impossible to open new roads in sufficient amounts and
width because of extremely high expropriation expenses. In this regard, widening the METRO
transportation network is the single alternative for the City of Istanbul and the region, in
order to carry huge amounts of passengers and decrease the number of vehicles in the
traffic.
Project area subject to the preparation of Project Introduction File is located in stanbul
within the Marmara region, city of Istanbul, Anatolian Territory, Kad köy, Maltepe Kartal
and Pendik counties. The length of the “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public
Transportation System” is 25.9 Km and consist of two parts. The first part of the line is
21.7 km and between Kad köy and Kartal. The construction of this part is ongiong an made
by Avrasya Metro Group joint venture. The Project Introduction File of this line was
examined by the stanbul Provincial Directorate of Environment and Forestry and then
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

"EIA is not required" certificate was given. In this report, environmental impact assetments
of the changes occured during the implemtation on the line and the additional line between
Kartal-Kaynarca with length of 4.26 km , and also the maintanence-repair facility that will
be built at the end of line is made. As well as the necessary works were determined to
decrease these impacts.
Clutter, dust, etc. to be created during the moving process of excavation and
construction material of the tunnel digging of “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public
Transportation System” shall probably have adverse affect on the live texture in the
environment. In this respect, measures shall be taken to prevent harming the live texture
around during the construction work. Sprinkling, which is one of the widespread methods
to prevent dust formation, shall be continuously used.
The Project Introduction File of "Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System" was
prepared by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in accordance with Environmental Assessment
Regulations dated 16/11/2003 with no 25 318 and ANNEX II Selection, Qualification Criteria for
Applicable Projects List and article 21.k of Energy Tourism Housing section (Trolley and, elevated
and underground railway lines, similar lines used for passenger transportation (subway, light rail
transit systems, and etc.))
Species that naturally grow in the area shall be definitely considered in the landscaping practice.
In accordance with the international RAMSAR agreement, there is no wetland under
protection in the project area. Also there is no plant biotobe formed as narrow spaces or
wildlife members that must be protected.

I.1.2. Capacity of the Project
This project, covering Pendik, Kartal, Maltepe and Kad köy counties, has beenprojected with consideration to local traffic in the region, social and economicalactivities. Besides social and economical activities, the criteria below have been takeninto account, in designing stanbul Metro Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail PublicTransportation System:
Travel safety, security, reliability; travel time, comfort, cleanliness and transportationfee.
The "Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System" which is 26.7 km
long proposed to encourage the people to travel by public transport vehicles and also to
relieve traffic. As a result of this application, it is greatly expected to relieve traffic density
on the main link road and the connection roads of Gebze, Tuzla, Pendik, Kartal, Maltepe
and Harem counties and also the Bosphorus-E5 connection.
This projected metro line is a transit line towards business sites and trade centers in the
counties like Kad köy, Kartal, Maltepe and Pendik. Integration of this point with planned
lines (Marmaray and Ümraniye-Üsküdar Metro Line), proximity of Kad köy coast and
convenience the using seaway,and proximity with important housing and shopping centers
like Kozayata , and its being on the connection roads with E-5, has a vital importance for
rapid transportation.
On the other hand, considering that traffic flow is not eased despite the fact that there
are sufficient highways in the area, it is nearly impossible to open new roads in sufficient
amounts and width because of extremely high expropriation expenses. In this regard,
widening the METRO transportation network is the single alternative for the City of
Istanbul and the region, in order to carry huge amounts of passengers and decrease the
number of vehicles in the traffic.
The calculation of the "Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System"
capacity is made by assumptions which are the peak-hour capacity in 2025, six series, 6
people/km ² and 2.75 minutes intervals in moving. As a result, this capacity estimated as 65
000 passengers / hour in-direction. There will be 8 vehicles along the route.
The maximum speed of vehicles was designed as 80 km/h and the commercial speed of
vehicles was designed as 40 km/h. The technical parameters of the line given in Table

“Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System” route plan andlocations of stations are presented in Figure 2.
This project was commissioned by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, railwaysystem is composed of two tunnels as forward and backward directions. There arepassages between these two tunnels with certain intervals. Thus, in order not to beinfluenced by unexpected cases such as fire, accident, collapse, inter-tunnel transitionshall be attained via these passages.
Both tunnels cross the stations as one. This route and single transitions are shown indetail in Figure 3. Cross-section of double line tunnel is shown in Figure 5-4. The UTMcoordinates (UTM 6 Degree, ED50 DOM: 27 ZON:35T) are given Table 2. Cross-section area of one tunnel is approximately 32 m². Amount of excavation to be formedwithin this report have been given to waste production unit.

I.1.4.1. Used Technology and Method of Excavation
When it is looked at the project area, according to the geological formations
encountered, the layer of clay, silt, sand and gravel can be found through the tunnel in
the field. In addition, the less weathered limestone in the some parts of the tunnel is
likely to be cut. Underground water table is situated along the entire route of the
tunnel. These issues will play an important role in the selection of tunnel boring
technique.
Particularly, the complete surface protected excavation method (Shield) should be used
to provide both ensuring the stability of the front side of excavation and minimizin the
surface settlements thoughout the tunnel route.

Usage of TBM method in the construction of the“Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca RailPublic Transportation System” has been approved. As a general approach, the TBMmethod seems to give better economic results for the lines more than 4 km long.
Although the initial investment cost of TBM method is high, this method called asTBM (full side Tunnel Boring Machines) has become the most preferred excavationmachine nowadays because of the capability of in preventing the unwantedunderground such as settling and working quieter and being vibration-free and fast.
Particularly during the transition under the houses, schools, hospital and nursing home,these constructions will not be adversely affected as as result of the lower amount ofvibration and thickness of soil layer.

The head design used in hard, medium hard, soft and fluid formations, types of blades, themachine balancing systems, the intrenchment systems, the conveyors transport spoils fromthe TBM show diffrences in these aspects. To pre-determine the formations along theopened underground space is one of the most important factor in the selection of themachine.
The structural features of TBM are cutting head, pushing cylinders, steering cylinders,locking shoes (gripper), the motors that turn the cutter head and erector that putintrenchment units.There are hydraulic power units at rear of TBM called as the back-upsystems that consist of power stations, roof bolts for drill, ventilation fans, belt conveyorsto transport spoil and also wagons. The suppression and torque systems of TBM are shownin Figure 5 schematically.
TBM methods also vary among themselves. These method can be structured as a maintopics as follows:
Slurry Shield TBM
Earth Pressure Balanced (EPB)
Open TBMThe machines in the first two methods are designed specifically to use in ground whichhave a closed surface systems.The ensuring surface stability and resistance to waterpressure are provided with keeping excavated material or bentonite slurry in the front. Theopen-faced TBM is used particularly in rock environment and in the zones that does nothave the mirror stability problems.The choice between EPB or Slurry methods is madeaccording to the ground properties. The EPM method is preferred in ground which haspermeability coefficient lower than 10-7 m/s (fine sand and silty clay-silt-clay)on the otherthe slurry method is preffred when the ground has higher permeability (medium and coarsesand-fine and coarse gravel, stones).As a result of the development in additives nowadays,the limits of the both methods are gradually pass into each other.Especially, the additivessuch as soil conditioning foam and polymer used in the EPB method allow highlysuccessful practices. In this respect the properties of the ground and formations as givenabove is taken into consideration, and the EPB type machine will preferred as anappropriate type. The TBM classification related to the worked formations are given inFigure 6.
In the TBM operating system, the tunnel boring machines comprehend the mirror withblades fully and do the excavation.There are two important forces to carry out the diggingoperations.The excavation event starts when the cutting head is pushed into the mirror andstart to turn during this pushing movement.
The material excavated from the mirror is transferred to the reservoir at back side ofthe cutting head by the blade on the cutting head.

The conveyor in container makes the transportation of the spoils. If the mirror at the
cutting head is completely closed, this situation causes the obstacles to approach the
mirror. As well as changing of blades become difficult.
Blades in cutting head can be changed so that there is no need to pass through the
mirror. As result the work safety is not jeopardized. The way of working and moving
of excavation in TBM are given In Figure 7.
Figure 7: The way of working and moving of excavation in TBM
Progress rate is a necessary issue that should be taken into consideration. The progressshall be 10-15 m on average per day during the tunnel boring.The tunnel platform of the stations have been completed to get advantage in terms ofcost and time before the TBM passed to station area.
The issues to be considered in tunnel boring are
1.soil should not be worked without proper progress2.Front of the tunnel should stay stabile or the stability should be provided.3.The reasonable cement mortar should be injected to both front and back of the
segments
If these issues are taken into consideration, the safety requirements are fulfilled and thesecure progress is made with the mesures against to setbacks in terms of cost and time.
In case, the surface overloading is occured, a measurement system should check theground motions from beginning to throughout the tunnel.
The length of the segments which is used for tunnel coating should be compatiblewith narrowing points of TBM and segments and also diameters of each one. Thesegments are generally 1.4 m long and 300 mm thick. Segment thickness should notbe too small to avoid serious damage against the thrust.
The segments will be reinforced with steel fiber. Application of steel fiber depends
on the regional construction and the experience that is obtained from the the
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
11
production of steel fiber reinforced concrete and precast segments. The works will
progress in accordance with these measures thereof negative effects will not
compose such as leakage and collapse.
I.1.4.2. Number of Employees to Work
The possible number of employee who is going to work in the project is determinedfor the construction and operation phases.
In the construction of the first and second phase of the work 500 people is beingemployed within 10 worksite that each of them has 50 employees.
The worksite of the first stage is opened with relevant authorizations. But for thesecond stage, the worksites and the responsible places will be determined. Thissubjects will be handled in detail in the specifications which will be prepared in theconstruction phase of the work.
In order to determine the personel number correctly in the operation phase, theleading organization structure of the project work is designated. The organizationschema is given in figure 8. According to the schema, there is four main departmentin the control of head office.
Transportation Department: It is responsible from the operation of the system,and providing all of the services related with travelling.
Equipment Department : It is responsible from the security, compatibility andhygene of the vehicles which will go to service.Constant Works Department : It is responsible from the maintenance of the
constant infrastructure (rails, railway passings, workshops and buildings)Management Department: It is responsible for the management work (financial,
personal, juristic works, fee collection) Safety and Security Department: It is responsible from the security of the
facilities.The personel number which is going to work in the departments is given in Table
3 for each section. According to this approach, 336 employee will be in servicethroughout the operation

I.2) Usage of Natural Resources (Land Usage, Water Usage, Type Of Energy UsedEtc.)
The length of “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System”
is 25,960 m.
All of the line will be built as a tunnel boring. The entrance and exit of passenger will
be open in the station. The total area of the stations is 82 460 m². Natural resources will
inevitably be affected because of the studies that wil be held here. The station project
which was tendered as a basis has been revised and new locations were determined to
minimize this effect.
This study is conducted primarily to stay far away from under record trees and
historical structures. Consequently these impacts will be seen temproraliy during
construction and then these regions will turn into their natural appearance once again
during the operation phase.
In addition, there are no water sources such as drinking water dam or lake in the region
of metro route. For this reason, Metro Facility planned to be constructed will not cause
temproray or permenant impacts on the natural resources.
For the first part of the project, worksites was established within the relevant
permissions in the construction phase . The station sites were used as a worksite.
The worksites in the second stage will become certain according to the investment
program of BB.
Amount of water to be consumed during the construction phase and the correspondingsupply method of water demand:Water need during tunnel station construction have been estimated and given in Table4. While estimating the amount of water to be consumed during tunnel and station
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
13
construction, sprinkling for watering the concrete, and for absorbing dust have beentaken into account.For this purpose, it is assumed that 200 lt's of water shall be used for1 m³ of concrete, and 100 lt's of water shall be used for sprinkling against dust for 1 m³of volume. The concrete area is assumed as a dust area. However, determening astandart value for watering the excavation waste and construction site is impossiblebecause this value changes depending on the size of the construction site. However,considering normal practice, it is observed that water demand is 20 m³ / day for oneworksite. In the project, this approach is assumed for 5 worksites and the amount ofirrigation water is estimated as 100 m³/day.
Table 4: Necessary amount of irrigation water for the tunnel and station constructions of “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System (total concrete volume= 1.500.000 m³)
Place of water usageUnit water
consumpion(lt/m³)
Water Demand (m³)
Drenching concrete 200 300.000
Sprinkling against dust 100 150.000
TOTAL - 450.000
Amount of water necessary for the construction works will be used during the 5 years'time as the construction goes on. Thus; Yearly amount : 450.000 / 5 = 90.000 m3/yr Daily amount of water :90.000 / 285 316 m3/day
Potable water need during the construction stage shall be met from the feeder water orby carrying by tankers. 90 lt/population.day has been taken as basis for daily drinkingand usage water need of workers and other technical employees. It is estimated that 90liters of water will be consumed as 10 lt/person.day for drinking purposes and 80lt/person.day as potable water.Considering that 50 people work in construction sites and construction works will be carriedout in 10 sites:
Water need of employees : 10x50 person x 90 lt/person.day 45 m3/dayPotable water need of employees is few, compared to the amount of water consumedfor drenching concrete and absorbing dust. This amount should be gained fromavailable points in the city feeder.Water to be used during operations and the meeting resources:
Water consumption in operating the metro system to be built in the anatolian territoryconsists of potable water of employees and the water used in cleaning the vehicles andthe stations. This water consumption shall be met through the city feeders. Waterconsumption per individual (workers and other employees) is 80 lt/day.
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

As the wastewater to be formed here shall be connected to the city waste water
network, it will have no adverse effect.
Fuel type to be used:
During the construction, vehicles will use diesel oil which will be supplied via barrels.
Electricity connection will be supplied through the city network. Vehicles to be used in
the “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System”’ will run on
electricity. During this operation the waste will not be occurred. Electricity will be
supplied through a special transformer that will be built especially for this system.
I.3) Amount of waste production (solid, liquid, gas, etc.) And chemical, physical and
biological properties of wastes
Waste production in the system may occur in two ways as temporary and permanent.
Wastes to appear temporarily will only be created during the construction. On the other
hand, permanent waste production will appear during the operation stage of metro.
Produced wastes would be separated into divisions as
waste water,
solid wastes,
chemical wastes etc.
Excavation wastes of tunnels and stations and the relevant amounts :
“Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System” is 27.960 m long.
The Line will be built as a tunnel.
The part that will be built as dig tunnel will be constructed in depths changing between
10~35 m below the ground.
Comparing advantages and disadvantages of all methods of tunnel digging, TBM
method is deemed convenient. In the system, digging diameter of the tunnel is
approximately 5.7 m and cross-section area of digging width is 32.00 m². Width cross-
section of the tunnel according to the TBM method which will be used in digging
tunnels is presented in Figure 3.
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
15
Excavation amount has been estimated using these data follows and shown in Table 5:
Excavation of Tunnel Digging is :2 x26,960 (m) x 32.00 (m²) = 1,725,440 m³
Considering that unit weight of the excavated chunk is 1,6 tonnesnes/ m³,
1,725,440 m³ x 1.6 tonnes/ m3 =2.760.704 tonnes
Necessary amount of expeditions when trucks with capacity of 10 tonnesnes are used
in transferring the excavation;
(2.760.704 tonnes) / (10 tonnes/ truck expedition) = 276.000 truck expedition.

“Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System” project is
28x155,00 m. Thus, each station will be built on a land of approximately 4340 m².
Depth and digging styles of the stations are variant.
Average depth and digging style of each station is given in Table 6. Amount of excavation is
expressed also in volume for terms of moving soil. Estimated volume of soil to be moved
considering these values is 1.157.737 m³. While calculating amount of excavation,
volume of condensed soil is increased by 20%. According to the progress of
construction and system, the places to accumulate exvacation waste will be determined.
The collection points of excavation in tunnel should be a place that gives the least
damage to the settlements. The transporting route of waste will be determined with
considering these details during Implemetation Project phase . The certain waste places
have not been determined in the phase of Final Project.

The reuse of the excavation that is arised from the tunnels is not proposed in theproject. The section with 21.7 km long of the line was opened and the excavation wasdumped to the dumps sites within the permissions of the relevant authorities. In thesecond phase, tunnel excavation with 403.968 m³ volume will be stored in places ofmunicipality or ISTAÇ Inc. with the obtained permissions and kept under control.However, the some part of the excavation can be reused as a filling material after theopen-close section of the line and the stations are constructed. In the project, the usageof excavation as filling material may show changes according to type of excavationand sections of the proposed constructiont. In the construction phase, it will becomplied with the issues which is stated in "Excavation Soil, Construction andDemolition Waste Controlling Regulation", article 14 with heading "Measures to betaken during excavation," and article 26 with heading "The Reuse and Recycling ofExcavated Soil".In the construction activities of the project, the necessary measures will be taken tocontrol the dust emission by water-soaking. Furthermore, the issues which is stated in"Excavation Soil, Construction and Demolition Waste Controlling Regulation" andunder the article 25 "Measures to be taken for Transportation of Excavation Soil andConstruction / Demolition Waste" was applied and will be applied in the newconstruction stage. The dumping area of the excavation will be determined after takinglegal construction permissions and the meetings with the municipality. Theexcavation process will not start without transport permission to legal dumping area.
Number of vehicles and equipments to be used in preparing the land for the tunnels and
stations to be constructed, and the excavation works, and the corresponding
approximate daily working hours are given in Table 8.

Amount of solid waste:
During the construction phase of the “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail PublicTransportation System”, other than soil excavation, fragments of meals of theworkers, and food wastes such as vegetables and fruits will also appear. The amount ofdomestic solid waste produced by workers during the construction phase is assumed as0,5 kg solid waste /worker-day. (Patrick 1981, Chzm 1992),
Therefore, the amount of the domestic waste is estimated as follows;500 worker/day x 0,5 kg domestic waste/worker-day = 250 kg domestic solid waste Considering the density of domestic solid waste is 0,8 tonnes/m³, the production ofdaily domestic waste is calculated as follows;0.25 (tonnes/gün)/0,8 (tonnes/m³ ) = 0,31 m³/gün.If the number of worksite is assumed as 10, solid waste quantity for each site will be0.03 m³ / dayIn the construction phase, the produced domestic waste will be collected in a containernear the worksite and removed by Cleaning Works Department of the relatedMunicipality which the worksite is connected. In the operation phase, domestic solidwaste will be produced in the stations, main operation facility and maintanence-repairfacilities. The produced solid wastes in the stations is directly proportional to passengerquantity and also depends on staying duration of the passenger. To determine thisinformation is difficult especially for Istanbul. As a result, it is not possible to estimatethe solid waste quantity at the stations.If the solid waste quantity is assumed as 0,8 kg/day per capita at the maintanence-
repair station, total domestic solid waste is calculated as 160 kg/day for 200 number
workers.
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
19
These wastes are collected in the containers in the project area and removed by
Cleaning Works Department of the related Municipality which the worksite is
connected.
Amount of Medical Waste
In the construction phase, the medical waste will be produced as 1 g/day-worker
in the clinics and patient examination unit which will be established for the workers.
Considering the this value, the probable medical waste quantity is approximately; 500
worker-day x 1 gr/day-worker = 500 gr/day = 0,50 kg/day.
The medical waste should be collected and transported with hydraulic system without
compression. If the density of medical waste is assumed as 0.20 m³/tonnes;
The daily production of medical waste is calculated as follows; 0,00050 tonnes / 0,2
m³/tonnes = 2,5 x 10-3 m³/day.
There is no intervention in the worksites which are close to the hospital regions.
These wastes are assumed as the waste load which will come to hospitals. The hospital
waste is collected by medical waste collection vehicle and disposed at the Medical
Waste Incinetarion Plants of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipalitiy or in a similar
licensed facilities. In the operation phase, medical waste production is not a point of
issue in the project site.
Amount of Wastewater
When the wastewater quantity is assumed as 80 lt/day per capita for each worksite
during the contruction phase of the “Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public
Transportation System”project, the total volume of wastewater is calculated as 40
m³/day.
The wastewater is discharged to domestic sewerage system of ISKI. There are
wastewater sewarege lines of ISKI throughout the project route.
Dduring the operation phase, the wastewater produced from WC in the stations and
maintenance-repair station will be discharged to ISKI sewerage system
Other Wastes
In "Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System" project, the
packaging materials (paints, solvents, varnishes and solvents, boxes etc.) arising from
the painting process during maintenance and repair of vehicle will be collected in a
separate collection system. The construction residuals (broken tiles, bricks and heat
insulation etc.) will not be used in construction works. These wastes which are likely to
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
20
be produced will be sent to licensed disposal facilities. Also this issue will be complied
with Hazardous Waste Controlling Regulation, Packaging and Packaging Waste
Regulation and Solid Waste Controlling Regulation.
Waste oil during the periodical maintanence of vehicles in the construction phase of
the project is produced as 15 litre-vehicle/6 month. The probable quantity of waste oil
to be produced is estimated as; 40 vehicle x15 liter-vehicle/6 month = 600 liter/6
month x 2 = 1200 liter/yr. The oil will be changed in the nearest gas stations which is
licensed and have oil chage unit.
As a result, there are no impaction that comes from used waste oil in the construction
site.
In the operation phase, the oil will be controlled in the maintanance and repair station
during the periodical maintanance of the vehicles.
The natural gas will be used as a main fuel for heating in the construction and operation
phase of the project.
The central heating boiler or natural gas will be used in accordance with "Regulations
on the Control of Air Pollution Arising from heating”.
I.4) Accident Risk that May Arise from the Technology and Materials Used
In order to protect employee health at the construction stage of “Kad köy-Kartal-
Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System” project, employees will be
equipped with necessary protective supplies (protective garments, gloves, masks,
etc.) and will be trained for the prevention of job accidents that may occur. In this
context, relevant provisions of the “Regulation of Employee Health and Security”
published in the Official Gazette dated December 9, 2003 with no. 25311 will be
applied.
No explosives will e used during tunnel and station activities to be carried out at the
construction stage.
Necessary precautions shall be taken against fire risk, and people in charge and
necessary infrastructure equipments will be located at the facility. Fire detectors will
be used, and sufficient number of fire extinguishers will be kept present at the
stations and in certain zones of the tunnel as a warning system and personnel will be
trained against fire. Necessary measures will be taken in order to enable minimizing
loss of human life and property, curing the injured, and protecting the rescued
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
21
equipments by taking necessary security cautions during fire. All personnel will be
trained on preventing and extinguishing fire. Shelter opportunity will be supplied in
the other tunnel in cases of subsidence and fire, by passages between the ahead-
backward tunnels.
A trained first aid personnel that is capable of doing the first intervention in a
possible job accident will be constantly employed and necessary first aid devices will
be provided on site. Besides, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality will prepare
“Facility Security Rules”, “Emergency Action Plan” and “list of contact information
of employed personnel” and hang these up in certain places. Emergency Action Plan
will be prepared and approved by Provincial Directorate of Civil Defense.
Repair and maintenance of engines running on electricity in the vehicle repair -
maintenance facilities and mechanical parts of vehicles, together with heating and
ventilating installations will be conducted by licensed personnel in accordance with
the principles of the “Bylaw of Electricity Internal Installation” (4.11.1984,
OG18565).
I.5. Precautions to be Taken Against Probable Environmental Effects of the Project
I.5.1. Influence zone of the construction
The boundaries of construction area of Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public
Transportation System tendered by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality – Department
of Transportation / Administration of Railway System which is still under construction
by Avrasya Metro Group Joint Venture are in the counties of Kad köy, Kartal, Maltepe
and Pendik.The railway starts from Kad köy Square and continues throughout the D-
100 Highway and arrives Kaynarca Station. The length of railway is 26,960,000 m.
System consists of two rails as forward and backward directions. Tunnel will be digged
using tbm method. Mirror area in the tunnel is 32 m².
On the route, there are 19 stations which are Kad köy, Ayr kçe me, Ac badem,
Ünalan, Göztepe, Yenisahra, Kozyata , Bostanc , Küçükyal , Maltepe, Huzurevi,
Gülsuyu, Esenkent, Hastane, So anl k, Kartal, Yakac k, Pendik and Kaynarca.
Locations of the stations are given in Table 6 along with the corresponding digging
method and amounts.
In this section, probable effects on the bio-physical and socio-economical environment during
the excavation works and preparation for construction and construction stages in the Kad köy-
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
22
Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System construction works, have been
expressed. Besides, environmental problems that may arise during the operation stage have
been assessed within the context of this report, and protective measures for minimizing these
effects have been presented.
Therefore, the environment of the site should be turned around with a high barrier and
the written warnings should be hanged for necessary places. A gatekeeper or security
guard should be made available in outside of working hours. The entrance from outside
to tunnel construction should be blocked.
The security is the most significant impact during the operation. Especially, the
passengers should be warned by indicators and pointers when they are waiting in
stations. Beside these main measures, the other environmental problems have been
evaluated in detail within this report as well as the conservation measures in order to
minimize these effects are presented.
I.5.1.1. Effects occured during ExcavationThe excavation arised from tunnel and stations in the fisrt stage is stored in accordance
with the related permissions. The excavation of the second stage will be stored in
dumping area. The some part of excavation which is arised from open-close station will
be reused as a backfilling. Moreover the excavation occurred from tunnels will be
removed by trucks. Long-term storage in the area is not possible. However, excavation
will be kept in containers until the delivery time specified by Muncipality.
No flammable or toxic materials will be used in the second part of excavation. As the
construction works will be done using tbm method, explosives will not be used even at works
in grounds such as rocks, where excavation is difficult. Consequently, as the excavation to be
generated during construction will be regularly stored, adverse effect is limited.
Most important effect during construction stage and moving the excavation is
formation of dust.
Dust emission occurred during the excavation of tunnels and stations and also
disposal-assessment of the excavation in construction phase is the most important
effect. The dust emission is measured periodically during the construction phase by
Avrasya Metro Group. As a result of these measurements, the points where the
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
23
precautions should be taken become clear. It is observed that this emission values
changes according to the geological formation of route, soil structure (material type,
moisture content and particle size distribution), digger type, height of loading and
unloading, tonnage of vehicles, speed of vehicle, wheels number of vehicles, surfacing
features of roads and distance.
In the calculation of dust emissions which may occur during the excavation;in the
literature, for surface sitripping it is assumed that if the material diameter is lower than
30 , this material leads to dust emission. Moreover, the maximum emission factor is
given as 0.42 tonnes/4000 m2-month or 14 kg / m2-day for semi-arid climate and
ground which consists of 30% of clay, sand and silt.
In the calculation of dust emissions during the excavation; The emission factor is
given as 0,025 kg/tonnes for surface stripping in literature.
The standart values which are used in the calculation of dust emissions of Kad köy-
Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System construction project are given
in Table 9 briefly (AP-42, 1996).
The dust emission values of Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation
System Construction, are calculated and given in Table 8 according to work items.

Excavation can not be spread in tunnel which is taken into consideration in calculations.
Loading Works of Excavation:The scenario for loading the all excavation from 5 differrent points in the construction
phase with weight of 746.944 tonnes is taken into consideration and the amount of dust
emission during the loading of excavation is estimated as follows:Loading the excavation from 1 point is 746.944tonnes/5=150.000 tonnes(150.000 tonnes /yr) /(2 yr-285 day/yr) = 264 tonnes/day / (8 g/day ) = 33 tonnes/h33 tonnes/h x 0,01 kg/tonnes = 0,33kg/h

TransportingWorks of Excavation (Asphalt road):
The amount of transported excavation is estimated as 150.000 tonnes.(150.000 tonnes /yr) /(2 yr-285day/yr) = 264 tonnes/dayDaily working hours is 10 hDaily travel time for 10 vehicles with 20 tonnes capacity =246 tonnes/day/(10 vehicle x 20tonnes/travel-truck)=2 travel/dayEmssion Factor=0.7 kg/Km-vehicleTransporting Distance =5 KmTotal Emission Flow=0,70 kg/h
Loading Works of Excavation:The scenario for unloading the all excavation from 3 differrent points in the constructionphase with weight of 746.944 tonnes is taken into consideration and the amount of dustemission during the unloading of excavation is estimated as follows:
(150.000 tonnes /yr) /(2 yrl-285 day/yr) = 264 tonnes/day / (8 h/day ) = 33 tonnes/h33 tonnes/h x 0,01 kg/tonnes = 0,33kg/hThe emission values of the zones where the material is supplied and loaded and the
emission vaules of transporting and unloading operations are calculated separately duringthe estimating the total dust amount of the -Kartal-Kaynarca Rail PublicTransportation System Project. According to the these calculations, the dust emission isestimated for uncontrolled situation."Industrial Air Pollution ControlRegulation"published in the Official Gazette dated 07.03.2009 with number 27 277, article6, sub-clause (g) , stated that "When the mass flows exceeded the value given in Annex 2,Table 2.1, to estimate pollution effects of facility in the influence area with usingdiffusion model that should be implemented by operator. When there is a doubt that thepollution level has reached the significant level in the field where the facility will beinstalled, the air quality should be measured in accordance with the methods which aredetermined in this Regulation. In this context, the standard values for dust emissions aregiven in this Regulation,in ANNEX-2, Table 2.1 as "The mass flow rate(kg/h) is 1.0 kg/hfor normal operating conditions and operating hours for weekly workdays". The modelingstudy for dust distribution has not been made because the calculated values are less than1.0 kg/hour.
The calculated amount of uncontrolled dust can increase in hot and dry months that cancause more effect in these months. That is why workers in the tunnel will use dust masksfor their health. The water sprinkling operation will be performed periodically to preventfurther damage from dust.
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT

The necessary measures will be taken to avoid a dangerous situation for the personnelworking in the construction phase. The provisions of the Work and Worker SafetyRegulation will be applied exactly. The staff will be informed in advance and the necessarysafety and rescue measures will be taken against to possible risks of sliding and slump thatmay occur during the excavation.Effects will be limited with these actions and it will not be harmful to health.
I.5.1.2. Expected Levels of Noise and Vibration to come out because of ConstructionWorks, and Precautions to be Taken
During the metro construction, especially construction equipments and trucks are the mainsources of noise. However, as the construction site is underground, noise arising fromworks here will not be at levels bothering the people living around. As the constructionequipments in the tunnel digging process of the route will be working underground, noiseof the machines will only effect the workers. Besides, as the ground masses the noise,frequency of sound falling n the ground will diffuse. Consequently, there will not be muchnoise bothering the workers underground.
A noise modeling is a necessity as especially there are intense housing regions incertain points at the neighborhood of the project area, and trucks frequently move materialsto the construction area and move excavation chunk outside. Thus, during tunnelconstruction, it will be determined whether or not noise level exceeds limits specified byregulations, and bothering the creatures around.
In the noise modeling study, construction equipment and trucks have been deemed asmobile point sources. Worst case scenario has been scripted considering that explosiveswill not be necessary during excavation and construction works. Tools causing noiseduring construction stage and corresponding maximum noise levels (d BA) as a result ofall necessary assumptions, have been presented inTable 10.

Provisions of “regulation on assessment and management of environmental noise”
put in effect by publishing in the official gazette dated 02.07.2005 with no. 25862 will
be complied during construction activities.
At the construction stage, construction equipment and trucks have been deemed as
point sources. Sound energy created at the point source emanates equally in all
directions. As distance from the source increases, energy of sound waves spreads on
wide global surfaces. (Figure 9) Considering that energy does not disappear in the
environment, all energy moves to the globe shell with a raius r. Thus, intensity of
sound spreads into the area of globe shell in splits.

:
In the regulation on “Assessment and Management Of Environmental Noise Indoor
Noise Levels table.8” of ministry of environment; there is the provision “when
construction site noise levels exceed admissible levels given in table 4.5 at 1 m
distance to buildings sensitive to noise, authorities specified in this regulation take
measures such as decreasing site working hours, suspending the building”.
Limit values given for construction of the building in Table 12 are respectively 60 and
65 d BA, which is below admissible values in regional effect zone during construction
stage.
The sound will cut through the barrier which are used in the critical points such as
stations. Moreover, there is not any structures except the residantals in distance 35 m
throughout the route. Hence the critical value for residentals are determined at night so
it has been committed that the equipment causing niose will not be run in construction
zone at night. Also, it has been committed that the employees will be equipped with
earlaps during working with these noisy equipments and they will be informed by
warning signs.
Accordingly, the values of the construction phase in the regional influence zone will be
lower than the acceptable values.

I.5.1.3. Effect on The Ecological System
Settlements throughout the route are developed places. However, though limited, there
is some flora. Majority of this flora consists of mature trees and the rest is parks and
other open spaces.
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
29
As the route in the railway system passes through certain depths, it will not haveimpact on many trees and plants. However, at some locations where the ground levelconstructions or open-close constructions are inevitable, it will be necessary to rip outtrees and plant elsewhere. Digging is minimized to prevent ripping out mature treesbecause of the location of stations. Some trees which will be less effected byconstrcution digging, will be kept under protection by some special means.
I.5.1.4. Transportation Infrastructure
Some roads and pathways will have to be restricted for tunnel and station buildingactivities and site works (passage of construction vehicles, storage of materials andequipments). Temporary effects to be experienced by traveling local people are,increased local traffic intensity, changes in traffic flow because of voluntary drift ofdrivers that desire to pass through the construction area; strategically path changes onthe whole traffic including buses for easing traffic flow and disabling passage throughthe construction area. These issues may cause delays in travels. Unrest to be felt ininitial days are expected to be reduced in time by tuning with new layout and timing.
I.5.1.5. Flora and fauna species to be harmed:
FloraLiterature has been scanned for determining the flora – fauna species in the projectarea. Determined species are those observed in the region generally. No endemicspecies were not met in the observations within this study.
As well, there are no green areas in the project area where passage birds stopover.Plant species mentioned in the “Flora Species Strictly Under Protection” in accordancewith European Agreement on protecting wild animals and their habitat.
Flora species found in this study at the Project area and its neighborhood are generallygrass-type plant.According to "The Rare and Threatened Endemic Plants in Turkey" (October-1989)source, the plant species identified by field observations are bushes which is 4th in thehabitat numbering system
Same study indicates that these plants are not endemic and not under threat. Allocationand amplitudes of these plants are shown in Table 13..
Fauna:Animal (fauna) species determined by the literature study in the project area and the
neighborhood are presented in Table 14.

As the building site is underground in a certain part of the tunnel building stage, floraand fauna species on the ground will not be endangered. Dust to be formed during theconstruction especially in summer will be prevented by irrigation. Thus, current floraand fauna species in and around the project area will not be harmed.
Open digging will be done only in a very limited area in 19 station buildings. Theseconstructions are very negligible compared to the current housing and commercialconstructions with much greater scale in the neighbor regions. Therefore, fauna andflora species in the neighborhood will not be harmed in any manner.

I.5.2. Influence area of operations
Line will commence operations after Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail PublicTransportation System line construction is completed. even when problems facedduring the construction are reduced, there will still be some implications on theenvironment. Passenger load capacity of the system is taken as 65.000passengers/hour/direction.
Necessary protective measures should be taken to minimize bio-physical and socio-economical effects of travel of all these passengers and daily need of the employeesworking there and also of the movement of vehicles.
I.5.2.1. Waste Effects
Wastes to come out in operating this metro system to be built on the anatolian territory
will be of domestic nature. These wastes may be grouped as wastewater, solid waste
(garbage) and used fuel wastes. As these wastes will be of the same properties with
urban wastes, it is convenient to collect with similar methods.
Wastewater:
main sources of wastewater are wc and usage water of the people working in each of
the stations. this wastewater will be estranged by connection to the urban wastewater
network. so, wastewater will have no adverse effect.
Solid wastes:
Solid wastes to be formed at the stations will be totally domestic wastes. Amount of
domestic solid wastes varies with the number of employees and passengers. Only
small amounts of garbage such daily remains of food requirements, preserving pots
etc. Will emanate here. These garbage will be collected into garbage buckets at the
stations, then left into the garbage containers of the municipality, and collected by the
related municipalities with garbage collecting vehicles to move far away.
Waste Oil
In the operation phase, the waste oil is the most impotant issiue of these section occurs
during periodical maintenance or repair of defects of vehicles. The employees of this
department should be worked after they are trained. Their health should be checked in
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
33
certain periods. The waste oil should be prevented from contacting and it should be
stored in the relevant section of operation unit.Later, the stored waste oil should be
disposed by licensed contractors. To make contract with licensed waste collection firms
is committed when the maintenance and repair facility is taken into operation.
Fuels to be used for heating:
Fuel used by the personnel in winter time is natural gas. This natural gas to be used will
be fully supplied through natural gas pipes of igda . Installation of natural gas will be
fully under control of igda .
When natural gas is fully run, very few emission will occur. When approximately 1 ton
equivalent of natural gas is run, 0.3 kg of particles and 4.3 kg nox comes out.
Consequently, emission by running natural gas here will not exceed limits provided in
air pollution control regulation.
I.5.2.2. Noise and vibration effects:
Regions where Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System line
passes through develop as settlements with rising prosperity.
When houses are open for settlement, generally private vehicles (car, jeep, etc.) Will
join the traffic of the region. However, it is assumed that noise and vibration effect of
metro vehicle traffic will not be enormous so it isn't deemed necessary to prepare noise
modeling. But the sources, limit value of the noise and necessary measures to be taken
are explained. The noise value of the vehicle's sourced from own movement is lower
than the limit values.
The main noise sources are the rail fungi ondulations occurred on the surface of rails
and the more or less periodical defections. In all railways, the ondulation may occur
regardless of axle load of urban rail system in different speeds so it can rise to the noise
level that can be felt at a 0.05 mm-wave depth. The maintanance cost of overground is
high where the wave dept is more than 0.1 mm. The results of ondulation are given
according to the observations and measurements obtained from the existing light
subways of Istanbul.
-The short wave ondulations are formed with 2-8 cm wave length in both rails whenthe curb diameter is higher than R>600 m; the deep ondulations are formed with 8-15
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
34
cm wave length inside surface of the rail when the curb diameter is lower thanR>600m.
-There are no ondulations in the tunnel.-The ondualtion occurs at the entrance and exit of stations that is relevant with breakand demurrage sections.
The second source of noise is tingling which occurs in the narrow curb sections.According to 22nd article of Evaluation and Management of Environmental NoiseDirective, the criterion for the prevention of environmental noise level arised from railsystems are given as follows:
When the railways cross settlements where the strategic noise mapping shouldbe prepared and the long distance railways cross natural life which are underprotection and in relation to the time zones, the environmental noise levels cannot exceed the limit values Lday 65 dBA and Lnight 55 dBA according to theevaluation results of this Regulation, article 1, sub-clause (a)
Environmental Noise Limit Values arised from stations throughout themetrolines; waiting, landing and boarding platforms and ventilation ducts cannot exceed the values that are given in Table 15.

The some precautions are given to limit the noise levels of rail systems as stated in
the regulation and legislation. Accordingly:
The population density on railway route, features of the site (sensivity against to
noise), noise arised from railways are taken in to consideration and the
environmental noise level is provided to stay lower than L day 65 dBA level with
the precautions as given below;
Sound measurements of all the trains and locomotives
Installation of noise silencer to train locomotive in order to control noise
The use of composite materials instead of cast iron brake shoes,
The usage of disc brakes by changing braking characteristics,
Taking the precautions inside the machine,
Taking measures related to structure such as correction the profile of
locomotive and wagon wheel profiles, wheel lubrication and the usage of sound
absorbing material,
In Railways; frequent correction and polishing of rails, the usage of rubber
wedges in certain parts of rails, welding the rail connections, formatting the
railway rotation, banquet coating with a vibration retardant material a, adjusting
the train path according to eleveation of the environment, increasing the sound
absorbing of the inner surface of railways.
The determining and application of structure elements will be done from
insulation calculation results according to TSEN 12 354 -1 12 354 -2 TSEN,
TSEN 12 354 12 354 -3 and -4 TSEN standard and sound insulation calculation
results according to TSEN ISO 140-1, ISO 140-2 TSEN TS EN ISO 140-6,
TSEN ISO 140-9, ISO 140-3 and TS and TS EN ISO 140-10, ISO 140-4, ISO
140-5, ISO 140-7, ISO 140-8 standard in the problematic houses
To take effective and feasible measures such as noise screening techniques in
the edges of way according to TSEN 1793-1, TSEN 1793-2 and TSEN 1793-3
standard, the measurement and performance tests must be ordered to control the
activity of all measures.
The organizations of metro operator take the necessary acoustic precautions on
wall and ceiling to control the reflected sound in underground stations. When the
station is empty, the maximum tingling level should be 1.4 seconds at 500 Hz in
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
36
the project target and 1.6 seconds in assumptions. The noise curtains are applied
when the metropassess through the noise-sensitive areas located inside and
outside of the city. The fields which have fans and noisy equipments should be
kept away from the other usage areas. If this application is can not be done, the
structural elements are compatible with the results of insulation mesurements in
accordance with TSEN 12354 -1, TSEN 12354 -2, TSEN 12354 -3 and, TSEN
12354 -4, TSEN ISO 140-1, TSEN ISO 140-2, TSEN ISO 140-6, TSEN ISO
140-9, TSEN ISO 140-10 ve TS ISO 140-3, TS ISO 140-4, TS ISO 140-5, TS
ISO 140-7, TS ISO 140-8 standarts will be implemented by operator. In this
direction, the measurements and performance tests which are applied to test
effectiveness of the mesures by operator is necessary.
When it is viewed to current system in Istanbul, the measures to be taken and
implemented for this line are:
There is no possibility to prevent the ondulations completely that causes the noise
Hence, the most widely used method is to grind the rails periodically. The grinding
period is determined according to the situation of the rail and the amount of
maintanence in the investment program. Typically, when the wave velocity is 0.1 mm
grinding is necessary.
The friction modifiers was applied on the rail fungi to reduce noise that was arised
from wheel tingling in narrow curbs. The friction modifies are widely used method to
reduce noise.The modifiers which is consist of water-based material become a thin
film on rails after evaporating. This simple contact with the wheels ringing noise is
reduced. Consequently, noise arised from wheel tingling is reduced. The slip-skid is
reduced with these measures as well as ondulation movement is reduced. This
process can be applied both inside and outside of the rails. The constant
investigations, controlled trials and calibration studies were performed to get overall
yield from this modifiers in Istanbul.
When the modifier is applied on rail fungi in high quantity, the friciton coefficient
decreases and then the slip-skid problem for vehicle is occurred. On the other hand,
when the modifier is applied in low quantity, noise level can not be reduced. Because
of these disadvantages, the oil pumps is installed to poles which are on the rail to
improve the efficieny of the system. Furthermore the oil is pumped according the
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
37
passing time of the train. As a result, the fixed lubrication pumps should be installed
in narrow curbs which are lower than 100 m. The good results from this application
is defined. Moreover This application will be used in new lines with developing.
It is known that vibration arised from movement of vehicles on rail will be reduced
by method that given in noise section.In vibration control, the issues stated
in"Vibration Regulations" drafted by Ministry of Labour and Social Security, dated
03.07.2008 with No. 26 809. will be complied.
I.5.2.3. Flora and fauna species that may be endangered:
After commencement of operations, only pollution source will be daily wastewater,
which will flow into the wastewater network of the municipality. Thus these wastes
will not harm the flora and fauna species in any manner in and around the project area.

CHAPTER II- LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
II.1 - Current Land Usage and Quality (Agricultural Area,Forest Land, PlannedLand, Water Level etc.)
Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System line will serve in
between Kad köy, Maltepe and Pendik mass housing zones. Current land usage covering
settlements saturated in buildings, cultural assets and protected areas have been
considered in this project. Railway is 25,960 m long, in the first stage 21.7 km of the line
will be constructed between Kad köy and Kartal; in the second stage remaning part of
4.26 km will be constructed between Kartal and Kaynarca have no significant effect on
land usage because of digging tunnel work. Railway will have no significant effect on
land usage because of digging tunnel work.
However, as stations in these fragments will be built with open-close method, land usage
will have to be reorganized. Business and population intensity will not be adversely
affected for construction areas with this system, employment opportunities will even be
better. Building this system in the Anatolian territory, it is expected that current passenger
intensity will spread equally in Istanbul in general. Besides, a certain part of population
undertaking the work power of european territory will benefit from settling areas in the
anatolian territory. Transfer of passengers to the anatolian territory through the sea will be
easier and faster. A great ease in passenger traffic and on the bridges will be achieved.
There will be some temporary burdens in land usage during the construction. Routes of
passenger vehicles will be modified and some roads will be temporarily closed to traffic
for station constructions. Green fields at the station locations will be affected. However,
protective measures are essential for keeping these effects in minimum. Trees and other
plants directly affected during the construction will be transferred to elsewhere and new
green fields will be established. Special attention will be paid on protecting natural flora,
historical trees and tissues. On the other hand, in progress underground, tunnel works will
be carried out after completing basement checks of current buildings.
When it is looked at the entire project route, it is understood that the line does not pass
through the forest area as given in the map (Figure 10) of Istanbul Regional Directorate
of Forestry Area.
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
42
Figure 10: stanbul Orman Bölge Müdürlü ü Orman Alanlar Haritas
Attention should be paid on not effecting land usage and the buildings around with station
building, architectural appearance should be in harmony with buildings around. Botanical
soil taken out of tunnels or pats to be built with open digging method should be utilized in
landscaping. Besides, trees and green areas probably under threat should be removed
using convenient techniques and moved elsewhere.
Transfer stations from metro to bus - minibus or private cars will be built in locations
close to stations, in order to decrease vehicle traffic and encourage usage of metro. These
works will cause some modification in land.
Another factor effecting land usage is that private sector will endeavor to serve passengers
around the station. These are places of natural requirement such as small scale shopping
localities selling fresh fruit and vegetables, parking lot for cars, cafeterias, toilets. Increase
in such places will cause a modification of land usage.
II.1.2 - Geological and Hydro-geological Properties and Natural Hazard Situation
There are Paleozoic old units on the route of Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public
Transportation System Project. At the starting point of the line, there is the Kurtköy
PROJE ALANI
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
43
formation (Arkoz) forming the base of sedimentary stack called Istanbul Group, and
later formations in the Çekmeköy segment forming its extension towards the east.
Referring to the inspection on the basement cavities within these formations and data
of mechanical drilling on the line, paleozoic stack upwards from below is;
Kurtköy Formation (Archosic grit and conglomerate) – Poa
Aydos Formation (Quartz arenite, quartzite) – Pok
Gözda Formation ( eyl, grit and clayed limestone) – Pss
Dolayoba Formation (limestone, eyl) – PsdkKartal Formation (fosille eyl, grit) – Pdkf.
Project field is located in 1st Degree Erosion Area; and the Map Showing the Erosion
Values is presented in Figure 12.
As given in the erosion value maps (Figure13), this region is in the variable erosion
region. There is no status in the line that will cause erosion. The hillside in the tunnel
mirror section has greater risk for erosion. The retaining wall is proposed in these sections
against the risk of erosion. These sections are reinforced with special fortifications in the
project.

II.1.3 - Situation, Quality and Renewability of Natural Resources in the Region
Istanbul is one of the foremost settlements of Turkey with its historical and cultural
wealthinesses. Sufficient sensitivity should be shown for protecting this historical heritage
and to transfer to the upcoming generations.
At the construction phase of this project there may be temporary impacts on the nature.
This effect will be minimized by measures to be taken. The intense settlement between
Kad köy and D-100 increases the possibility of the area to be affected. However, as the
tunnel digging will always pass down under in these regions, natural resources and
cultural structures will only be affected at stations. Besides, those places at stations where
expropriation is imperative, are the places directly affected by these works.
When the system commences operations, adverse environmental effects related to
operation and maintenance of the system will be compensated or minimized through some
attenuator actions. In order to minimize effects on natural resources, effect reduction and
aesthetic stiffening will be necessary.
This process will be applied mostly at stations because of their sizes and activity levels.
Processes of reducing effects are;

• Landscaping,
• Station/Viaduct/Entry Design,
• Screening.
Landscaping: Landscaping works will be carried out in available places. Tree and sapling
plantation throughout the corridor will increase the aesthetics on the road, and shady spots
shall be built in patches. In some cases, flora removed during the construction will be
fully renewed as a result of this landscaping work.
Station/viaduct/entry design: architectural styles at the wings of the corridor where the
metro will pass through, ranges from conventional styles to contemporary local themes at
the newer locations at the side sectors of the city. Stations are designed in a way to be
integrated with the architecture in the environment. This situation will be reflected in
illumination, materials, surface texture, colorization, structural components and staircases
of the facilities. Route design criteria considered in projecting are shown in Table 16.

Screening: if transportation corridor activities affect other works, a convenient screening
may be necessary. This screening will be planned as landscaping, wire fence, wall and/or
other structures.
Protection and renewal of plantConstruction of transportation line will necessitate ripping out some plants. Ripping out
mature trees will mean inevitable loss of this natural resource.
Relocation of plants will be compensated by these cautions at the utmost level.
Relocation of available current plant : Trees and galls available for relocation will be
determined before starting the construction. this process will involve manually and
mechanically ripping out the trees and galls and transporting elsewhere.
Protection of current trees to be rescued: In addition to protection of trees close to
construction area, trees enabled by design issues and which can continue fulfilling their
ecological roles and remain in the construction area..
Design of rapid transportation corridor environment: detailed design of rapid
transportation corridor will determine available places where trees and galls may be
replanted throughout the road. These zones will be designed available for healthy growing
of plant.
Re-plantation : A landscaping plan shall be prepared for planting new trees and gallsalong the road. Plant species selected will be durable against rough urban conditions alongthe corridor. Intense plantation will be conducted as much as possible, in order to increasesurvival rate of new trees. For the purpose of sufficient material to be available when thetime comes, trees and galls to be transferred from elsewhere and new sapling will bepredetermined and planted.
Protection and after-care of plants newly implant: Precautions will be taken for protecting
the health of newly plant trees and galls on the corridor. These cautions involve protective
wire fence, growing materials and inspection and maintenance program.

CHAPTER III: LOCATION AND ALTERNATIVES OF THE PROJECT
The alternatives have been designed for the route of Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail
Public Transportation System line. Most convenient alternative is the route explained
below that includes 19 station.
Line is starting from the infront of the Kadikoy SK Branch Office and the park
area between the Albay Faik Sözdener Street and Haydarpasa Street is proposed
contruct the Kad köy Station in the park.
The line passing under the settlements with alignment and curve a reaches 1,600 m
depth at Ayr kçe eme Station in front of the Tepe Nautilus Shopping Center where is
in the intersection of Dr. Eyup Aksoy Street and Dinlenç Street.
The line coming from Ayr kçe me Station continues straight and arrives the curb witha radius of 360 m and 156 degree of slope, then the line reaches to D-100 Highwayroute at Ko uyolu turnout. The line continues under the D-100 Highways and arrivesthe stations as follows: the Ac badem Station located near Ac badem Bridge; ÜnalanStation located near the Uzunçay r Köprülü Interchange and in the park across theState Products Office Building; Göztepe Station located at Göztepe Bridge and finallyline arrives the Yenisahra Station located at Yenisahra Köprülü Interchange.
The route pass to the left side of the D-100 Highways,continues under KozyataBridge and arrives the Kozyata Station at the instresection of the çerenköy CarrefourRoad and Üsküdar çerenköy Street. After this point the line again continues parallelunder the D-100 Highways and reaches the Bostanc Station located at BostancBridge; Küçükyal Station located in front of the Highways District Office atKüçükyal Intersection; Maltepe Station located at the right side of the MaltepeIntersection; Huzurevi Station located near the Nursing home and the left side of theMaltepe-Karacabey Köprülü Intersection;Gülsuyu Station located in the empty areabetween Filkuyu Street and D-100 Highways and after Gülsuyu Intersection.

CHAPTER IV: RESULTS
As faced in all the major metropolitans, ground transportation can not meet demand in
stanbul as a result of rapid increase of population. The reasons of this problem are
dense settlement and the city's topography. The existing opened roads are not regulated
with taking into account the future needs. Also, improvements can not perform own
normal function because of the further bottlenecks.
As stated in the beginning of the report, carrying the significant part of the overground
traffic towards underground has become a necessity as like as all major cities because
of the physical requirements.
The mentioned metro project The Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System
continues along the route of E-5 highway and ends at an empty field where is located in front
of Pendik Tav antepe cemetery over the Cemal Gürsel Street in Kaynarca.
The heavy traffic flow which comes from Kadikoy-Pendik Pendik-Gebze direction via
rail system and road reaches the peak level especially in the morning and evening.
Moving to Gebze and Kaynarca direction by buses and other vehicles hinder the
existing traffic and also disable the E-5 Highway. When this major traffic flow is
carried to metro systems, the normal traffic and link roads which are stretching
1stbridge such as Altunizade will ease.
In order to benefit completely from Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public
Transportation System project, no doubt, it will be required to support this project
with other major transportation projects in time. Especially, integration of this line with
Bostanc -Dudullu line and Marmaray Line represents the most important part of the
transportation network.
Kad köy-Kartal-Kaynarca Rail Public Transportation System is 25.960,00 m long
and composed of parallel tunnel with forward-backward directions.
Environmental effects:
The first part of the tunnel which is 21.7 km is near completion. The second part
between Kartal and Kaynarca with length of 4.26 km will be construted as a tunnel
type that provides the minimal effects to environment.
However, on-the-ground works the contrcution site will be circulated with barriers
and the negative impacts to environment will be lowered with this application
KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON RAILENV RONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
57
Most important of these are the vehicle storage are and axle of tunnel entrance. The
line should be digged as a tunnel and axle zones should be chosen in the most
convenient areas where the traffic is not affected. In some zones the direction of traffic
is changed to make disturbing lower.
During the project to open some side ways will become a current issue. In the project
to keep cost of expropriation at a minimum level, the old projects was made changes by
moving the station and bus stops to parks and other green areas.
Trucks and construction equipment will cause noise pollution that negatively affects
the environment. According to the noise model made for the study it is seen that the
noise reach to limit values after 35 m. Eventhough the noise in tunnels is not possible,
it will be occurred in stations and during the loading of excavation.
Nosie and vibration are comprised because of the rail fungi ondulations on railway and
tingaling at narrow curb sections during operation. It is seen that this noise and
vibration can be reduced to limit values with grinding of the rails periodically and
providing oil modifications regularly to prevent tingaling at curbs.
Another important issue is dust and other pollutions that will occured during scraping
the surface, making excavation, filling and transporting the excavation. In the waste
production section this issue is discussed and the dust especially that will ocurred in
construction phase is calculated as lower than 1,0 kg/h. It seen that this amount will
fall by half when the excavation is watered. It is not possible to create any dust because
TBM method will be used in excavation of tunnel that enables softening by sprinkling
againt dust in side the tunnel.
In the construction and operation phase of the project, wastewater will be discharged
the SK sewer channel. Solid wastes will be collected in construction site, then
diposed by the Cleannig Works Depatmant of municipality. During the operation, solid
waste will be collected at the stations to be moved far away.
Medical waste will emerge in the infirmary services and medical examinations of
workers during construction phase. This waste will be taken by the medical waste
collection vehicles of STAÇ. During the operation, medical waste will emerge only in
maintenance and repair facilities.

Waste oils will not be generated during construction. During the operation waste
occurred from periodical maintenance of vehicles will be accumulated at maintanence
station for short time and then will be removed by licensed companies.
All these negative factors are the inevitable consequences for such an important
project. However, as stated in the report, the measures will be taken to reduce negative
effects at a minimum level.
There is no the permenant effect in terms of environmental impacts of the project.
Hence there is no any inconvenience for the construction of the project
