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

"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

1.

“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

Page 24: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Page 32: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA report

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

Page 33: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA report

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

Page 34: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA 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-

Page 35: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA 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

Page 36: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA report

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.

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.

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.

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.

When viewed to project route from a perspective aspect, the richest region is coastal

parts in terms of flora and fauna. There is no route in coastal region that is why there is

no impact.

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

Page 46: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA report

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

Page 47: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA report

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.

35

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

Page 49: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA 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

Page 50: KADIKÖY-KARTAL-KAYNARCA RAILPUBLIC TRANSPORTATION …€¦ · transportation (subway, light rail transit systems,etc.) Name of The Institution/Workgroup that prepared EIA report

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.

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

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.

The Esenkent Station is constructed before the Cevizli Köprülü Intersection andacross the Maltepe Carrefour Shopping Center, left side of D-100 Highway andbetween the Özmen Streer and D-100 Highway.

The line coming from Esenket Station arrives the Hastane Station that is in front of theMarmara University Kartal Campus. Following the north side of the D-100, linereaches the So anl k Station located near SK Kartal Brang Office. As well the line

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

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
