Measures to Mitigate Environmental Impacts from Site Runoff and
Drainage during Operation
附錄A
緩解營運期間，徑流及排水環境影響的措施
To mitigate the
environmental impacts from site runoff and drainage during the operational
phase, the following shall be implemented:
應實施下列措施，以緩解營運期內因地盤徑流及排水造成的環境影響：
(a) A surface water
drainage system shall be provided to collect the track runoff. Where oil and lubricating fluids can be
spilt, the tract drainage channels discharge shall pass through oil/grit
interceptors/chambers, or a sub-soil drainage system to remove oil, grease and sediment
before being pumped to the public stormwater drainage system.
應提供地面水排水系統以收集鐵軌徑流。在油污及潤滑液可能出現外溢的地方，鐵軌排水渠排出的污水應在泵入公共雨水排水系統前，流經油污/砂礫截流井/池，或地下排水系統，以清除油污、油脂及沉積物。
(b) Silt traps and
oil interceptors shall be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure proper
functioning and efficient operation.
淤泥收集器及油污截流井應定期清潔及保養，以確保正常操作及效率。
