机械使用各种施工作业如大型挖土机、钻孔机、打桩机、空压机及压路机等以及各种重型运输车辆、建筑物拆除以及已有道路破碎等作业产生的噪声。废水工程施工及施工人员边坡开挖和钻孔、桥墩施工产生的泥浆水，机械设备运转的冷却水和洗涤水、施工机械运转中跑冒滴漏产生的油污水及施工人员产生的生活污水。固废工程施工施工工地产生大量余泥、渣土（包括拆除旧建筑物的渣土）、地表开挖的余泥、施工剩余废物料等。运营期社会环境车辆行驶本工程的实施，提高了机动车的平均运行速度，改善非机动车、行人与机动车的冲突，提高非机动车和行人的安全度，改善机动车的出行，促进沿线社会经济发展。生态环境绿化工程本工程道路两侧种植行道树，并新增一些绿化带景观建设工程，将给局部生态环境和景观带来有利影响。环境空气车辆行驶道路的改善将使车流量相对增加，汽车排放的尾气含有CO、NO2等污染物质，可能增加沿线的大气污染负荷，但从整个遂昌城区范围看，对改善大气环境质量起到积极的作用。噪声车辆行驶项目完成后，交通噪声源距环境保护目标距离变近，各类车辆产生的交通噪声对线路两侧的敏感点产生不同程度影响。79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswered,"ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbothenjoyourdinner!"   lesson41Doyoucallthatahat?你把那个叫帽子吗？ "Doyoucallthatahat?"Isaidtomywife."Youneedn"tbesorudeaboutit,"mywifeansweredasshelookedatherselfinthemirror.Isatdownononeofthosemodernchairswithholesinitandwaited.Wehadbeeninthehatshopforhalfanhourandmywifewasstillinfrontofthemirror. "Wemustn"tbuythingswedon"tneed,"Iremarkedsuddenly.Iregrettedsayingitalmostatonce. "Youneedn"thavesaidthat,"mywifeanswered."Ineednotremindyouofthatterribletieyoub

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书式中：θ——预测点间道路两端视线间夹角，度。(1)预测结果与影响评价本项目沿线不同距离处交通噪声随距离的衰减预测情况见表5-9。沿线道路两侧噪声平均达标距离昼间预测结果见表5-10。表5-9交通噪声对周边环境的贡献值单位：dB(A)距道路红线距离（m）010203040506070100昼间预测点噪声75.268.861.856.654.252.250.749.346.2表5-10沿线环境噪声平均达标距离预测结果评价范围时段评价标准达标点离路肩距离(m)GB3096-2008限值dB(A)沿线道路两侧昼间4a70<10夜间4a55/根据遂昌县城市区域环境噪声标准适用区划分报告，溪边路道路工程所在的区域位于2类噪声功能区。若临街建筑以高于三层楼房以上（含三层）的建筑为主，将第一排建筑物面向道路一侧的区域划为4类标准适用区域；若临街建筑以低于三层楼房建筑（含开阔地）为主，将道路红线一定距离的区域划为4a类标准适用区域，相邻区域为2类标准适用区域时，距离为30m。从表5-9、表5-10预测可见，2020年当溪边路道路日均车流量达200辆/小时，并且城区禁鸣喇叭的情况下，由于街道临街建筑物面向道路一侧执行4a类区噪声标准，临街区域昼间能达标，相邻2类噪声功能区昼间达标距离<30m，可见由于车流量较小对附近居民生活的影响不大。夜间由于车流量过小（30辆/小时），无法进行预测分析，但当车辆经过时，势必有一定的影响，应注意对沿线居民楼的声环境保护，采取措施，降低运营期噪声对居民工作、生活的影响。5.2.4、生态环境影响简要分析本项目建成投入营运后，由于过往车辆流量的增加将使公路噪声值增大，而噪声值的变化对沿线的动物如松鼠、鸟类生存活动将产生影响，尤其是鸟类对声响较为敏感。另外，该项目改建后，采用水泥路面，由于裸露的水泥路面热容量小，反射率大，蒸发耗热几乎为零，下垫面温度高，升热快，形成一条“热浪带”，这些将造成道路小环境的改变，局部小气候恶化。79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswered,"ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbothenjoyourdinner!"   lesson41Doyoucallthatahat?你把那个叫帽子吗？ "Doyoucallth

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书车辆行驶产生的扬尘对植被的影响主要是细小的尘粒可能堵塞植物叶子的气孔，或覆盖于叶子表面影响叶绿素对太阳光的吸收，从而影响作物的光合作用，最终导致植物生长不良。由于本项目两端紧邻植被较好山坡，在一定距离内扬尘的影响不可避免。运管部门必须及时进行路面整洁，定期洒水，减少扬尘的产生量。当然，上述的影响在项目建设前就已局部存在，只要采取适当措施减轻这种负面影响，则项目建设后影响不大。从本项目建设前后对比看，除了对南端鲤鱼山少量植被产生负面影响外，其他路段由于沿线行道树种植和绿化带的设立，增加了该区域的绿化面积，而路面的硬化又避免了由于地表裸露而导致的水土流失现象的发生，因此其对城市生态环境的影响大部分是正面的。6污染防治对策及水土保持措施6.1污染防治对策6.1.1施工期污染防治对策6.1.1.1施工期社会环境影响防治措施（1）施工前应充分做好各种准备工作，对工程涉及的内容如：道路、供电、通信等进行详细的调查了解，提前协同有关部门确定拆迁、改移方案，做好各项应急准备工作，保证社会生活的正常状态。（2）为使工程施工对沿线居民生活和城市交通影响减少到最低限度，施工期间南溪东岸交通车辆行走线路应进行统一分流规划，以防造成交通堵塞；必要时需与公安交通管理部门配合，以确保城市交通的畅通和正常运行，并应提前利用广播、电视、报刊出安民告示。（3）在施工现场安置告示牌，说明工程主要内容、施工时间，敬请公众谅解由于施工带来的不便，并在告示牌上注明联系人、投诉热线等。（4）施工期间用电量和用水量均较大，为此施工单位应提前与有关部门联系，确定管线接引方案，并做好临时管线的接引准备工作，对局部容量不足地段，应事先进行水电管线的改造，防止发生临时停水、停电，影响沿线居民及相关企业的正常供电供水。（5）施工照明灯的悬挂高度和方向要考虑不影响居民夜间休息。6.1.1.2施工废水污染防治措施工程施工期间，施工单位应对地面水的排放进行组织设计，严禁乱排、乱流污染环境。具体措施如下：79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswered,"ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbothenjoyourdinner!"   lesson41Doyoucallthatahat?你把那个叫帽子吗？ "Doyouc

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书（1）道路建设过程的施工污水中含有大量的泥沙与油类，如未加处理直接排入市政管网将影响水质，排入土壤则将污染土壤，因此施工废水不得直接排入市政管网，应作简单处理后再排入市政管网，严禁直排入地表水体。（2）施工期工地食堂污水需经隔油隔渣处理后与生活污水一同排入市政管网，最后进城市污水处理厂处理。（3）本项目的建设施工单位还要对泥浆水进行过滤沉淀简单处理，禁止直接排入附近水体，建设单位要加强管理，做到文明施工。（4）对于生活垃圾、施工垃圾，由于进入水体会造成污染，所以均要求组织回收、分类、贮藏和处理，其中可利用的物料，应重点利用或提交收购，如多数的纸质、木质、金属性和玻璃质的垃圾可供收购站再利用，对不能利用的，应交由环卫部门妥善进行无害化填埋处置。（5）在桥梁设计中，建议桥梁可采用封闭型；并采取防撞防侧翻措施，如桥梁护栏设计增加护栏宽度，选用抗撞的一定厚度水泥桥栏，两端设置限速标志，避免车辆相撞落入水中，在桥梁两侧设置排水沟，导入附近集水池。（6）桥梁施工中应严禁将弃土倾入河道，钻孔泥浆水需经沉淀后上清液排放，经沉淀后需作外运处理或覆土绿化，施工结束后需对部分河道进行清障，恢复过水断面，保证河道通畅。桥梁施工完成后，对桥址河道进行清淤。6.1.1.3施工期废气污染防治①扬尘施工期间应特别注意施工扬尘的防治问题，须制定必要的防止措施，以减少施工扬尘对周围环境的影响。具体要求如下：严格遵守相关法律法规的要求文明施工，制定并落实相关扬尘污染控制的规章制度，严格控制扬尘污染；工地应有专人负责路面洒水，一般洒水频率不得少于4次/天，如遇连续高温或风速较大等天气，应增加洒水频次来有效控制扬尘污染；散装水泥桶要求在全封闭操作环境下操作，并采用布袋除尘器除尘，防止扬尘污染；施工工地应严格按照有关法律法规的规定，使用商品混凝土，不使用自拌混凝土；场地物料堆放整齐，沙石等易产生扬尘污染的污染源位置应合理设置，并用彩料布等进行遮盖；渣土等建筑垃圾必须定期清运，清运过程中采用封闭式运输车，保证扬尘不飞散；车辆进出工地时必须用高压水泵冲洗干净，在冲洗后方可进入道路，不得将施工现场的渣土带入道路；79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswered,"ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbot

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书溪边路为新建的城市次干道，埋设在路基下的管网工程担负着南溪东岸区块雨水收集和居民及企事业单位生活污水纳管。首先必须做到雨污分流，其次污水管埋设必须充分考虑该区域现状及未来的发展，预留足够的接口，确保污水收集完全。污水管网应定期清理，确保管道畅通，严防管道堵塞引起污水外溢，污染水环境。雨水收集井应及时清理，确保雨水能及时排出，防止因堵塞而导致路面积水现象发生。确保路面干净整洁，可以减轻下雨引起的地面径流冲刷路面导致的雨水污染。今后条件成熟时，应收集初期雨水进入污水管网进污水处理厂处理后再外排。6.1.2.2废气污染防治①交通运管部门可制定政策，禁止尾气污染物超标排放机动车通行，这可在一定程度上缓解本项目可能产生的环境空气污染。②加强机动车的检测与维修，实践表明，机动车尾气污染物的排放量与发动机是否处于正常技术状态关系甚大。在用车排气经常超标，主要因为是低水平维修、发动机工况恶化等。机动车在使用无铅汽油、安装尾气净化器后，检测、维修将显得更为重要。因此，一定要加强对在用车的检测与维修，使在用车经常保持在良好的状态，以减少尾气污染物的排放。③降低路面扬尘，引起道路扬尘的因素很多，包括车辆行驶速度、风速、路面积尘量和路面湿度等。其中风速还直接影响到扬尘的传输距离。此外如水泥、煤炭等粉状材料本身在运输过程中如果遮盖等防护措施不当则遇风也会起尘。目前国内常用于抑制路面扬尘的方法是洒水，实践验证该法抑制扬尘十分有效。配备一定数量的洒水车定期洒水，尤其在干旱大风季节加强洒水抑尘作业，粉状建材运输应压实填装，高度不应超过车斗防护栏，避免洒落，并采取加盖措施。④利用植被净化空气，实验证明，道路两侧的阔叶乔木具有一定的防尘和污染物净化作用，建设单位在选择道路两侧行道树进行绿化时，除了考虑道路景观因素外，还应充分考虑利用植被对环境空气的净化功能，减少对路侧敏感点的影响。6.1.2.3噪声污染防治对城市道路交通噪声污染防治的措施比较多，其工程投资差别也较大，视实际情况与噪声防治需要选择，如提高车辆性能、公路路面平整与路面材料选择、路面维修保养情况、行驶车辆的车速管理、公路两侧绿化带、对受影响较大的重要敏感点采取噪声防护工程措施（路边声屏障修建以及住户窗户的改善等）。79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswere

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书为防止道路坡面冲刷，在路基填筑前要做好临时排水沟，路堑的截水沟尽量在路堑开挖以前修建或至少应在边坡开挖至设计要求后修建。沿线的路基防护工程要尽早实施，路基填筑完成后及时进行路基防护。②石方开挖时应充分重视挖方边坡的稳定性，宜选用中小炮爆破，尤其是坡面附近采用打浅眼、放小炮，确保边坡表面平整、稳定。③工程沿线跨河桥梁的建设应到当地水行政主管部门办理相关手续。跨河桥梁施工时严禁将开挖的土石方倒入河流中，必须对施工、运输中散落于沟渠中的土石方进行清理，以保持河道畅通。④为了减少土石方在纵向调运运输中的流失，运输车辆应采用密封型或用篷布遮盖，避免敞开式运输和沿路抛洒现象的发生。⑥道路沿线有分布沿溪路段，对需占用河道滩地的，必须进行相应的防洪分析等专题报告，并经当地水行政主管部门同意，确保道路建设不影响河道行洪。沿溪路段施工过程中要做好临时拦挡措施，防止土石方进入河道。施工后期及时拆除临时建筑，并对拆除方及时清理，避免其残留于河道形成阻水或增加河道的淤积量。Ⅰ区水土保持措施主要工程量为：工程措施：表土剥离3000m3，截水沟260m。植物措施：植草皮1200m2。Ⅱ区（桥梁工程防治区）该区包括3座跨河桥梁以及跨河桥上游50m至下游100m易造成淤积的水域等，面积共计0.882hm2。工程沿线桥梁的建设应到当地水行政主管部门办理相关手续。跨河桥梁施工时严禁将开挖的土石方倒入河流中，必须对施工、运输中散落于沟渠中的土石方进行清理，以保持河道畅通。采用挖孔桩、扩大基础的桥梁施工过程中，应将桥基开挖土石方及时清理、集中堆置，用于工程填筑，避免土石方的流失。Ⅲ区（临时设施防治区）该区包括施工场地、临时堆土（渣）场及临时借地周边2m受影响的区域，面积共计0.344hm2。为了防止降雨击溅、地表径流等引起的水土流失，临时堆土场四周应采取临时防护措施。该场地现状地势比较平坦，表土的堆放边坡控制在1∶2，堆高控制在3.0m79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswered,"ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbothenjoyourdinner!"   lesson41Doyoucallthatahat?你把那个叫帽子吗？ "Doyoucallthatahat?"Isaidtomyw

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书溪边路是《遂昌县中心城区总体规划（2005—2020年）》中路网系统中重要的一条城市次干道，它的建设有利于完善遂昌县便捷多方位的出行系统，缩短出行的时间与空间，节约燃油消耗，减少机动车尾气污染物的排放，有利于环境保护和社会可持续发展。8.2.2损失(1)施工期拆迁溪边路项目中段及北段民房点密集，涉及的拆迁量较大。根据可研报告，项目涉及拆迁农房面积1774m2，居民住宅面积11268m2，非住宅建筑面积9668m2，需安排建房宅基地1100m2。项目拆迁及相关政策补偿等总费用8417万元，占总费用的62.5%。(2)环境影响损失道路工程建设将带来一定的水、气、声污染及生态环境影响，为减免工程建设和运行所带来的不利影响，拟采取的环境保护措施主要包括：生态环境保护、污废水处理、大气污染防治、噪声污染防治等。在进行技术经济分析及方案比选的基础上，提出了各项环保措施推荐方案及其费用估算，溪边路道路工程环保措施总投资为357.02万元，约占工程总投资的2.65%。根据以上分析，城市道路的建设对于改善市区交通条件，提升区域土地利用价值，完善城市基础设施建设，促进城市发展具有非常重要的意义，其带来的社会经济效益是非常显著的。遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）建设可以为南溪东岸的开发带来非常有利的条件，且可以完善区域的管网设施建设，提高生活污水收集率，改善区域环境质量，具有非常显著的环境、社会、经济效益。当然项目涉及一定的拆迁量，拆迁费用占总投资的62.5%，另外为减免项目建设及运营过程中不利环境影响所采取的环保措施总费用为357.02万元，短期需要一定的投入。然而带来的社会、环境、经济效益是长期的。综合分析认为，在各项环保措施得到落实的情况下，其费用所产生的社会、环境、经济效益明显。因此从环境损益及环境经济角度分析，工程的建设是可行的。9环境监测与管理计划9.1环境监测计划遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境监测计划包括施工期水土保持监测计划、生态调查和监控计划、运行期汽车尾气监测计划、噪声监测等。79fourhundredmilesaway.Itisnowbeingsenttohishomebytrain.Tedwasmostsurprisedwhenheheardthenews.Hewas amusedtoo,becauseheneverexpectedthebicycletobefound.ItwasstolentwentyyearsagowhenTedwasaboyoffifteen!   Lesson35 Stopthief!捉贼！ RovTrentonusedtodriveataxi.Ashortwhileago,however,hebecameabus-driverandhewasnotregrettedit.Heisfindinghisnewworkfarmoreexciting.WhenhewasdrivingalongCatfordStreetrecently,hesawtwothievesrushoutofashopandruntowardsawaitingcar.Oneofthemwascarryingabagfullofmoney.Royactedquicklyanddrovethebusstraightatthethieves.Theonewiththemoneygotsuchafrightthathedroppedthebag.Asthethievesweretryingtogetawayintheircar,Roydrovehisbusintothebackofit.Whilethebatteredcarwasmovingaway,Roystoppedhisbusandtelephonedthepolice.Thethieves"carwasbadlydamagedandeasytorecognize.Shortlyafterwards,thepolicestoppedthecarandbothmenwerearrested.   Lesson36AcrosstheChannel横渡海峡 ErnaHartisgoingtoswimacrosstheEnglishChanneltomorrow.SheisgoingtosetoutfromtheFrenchcoastatfiveo"clockinthemorning.Ernaisonlyfourteenyearsoldandshehopeslosetupanewworldrecord.Sheisastrongswimmerandmanypeoplefeelthatsheissuretosucceed.Erna"sfatherwillsetoutwithherinasmallboat.MrHarthastrainedhisdaughterforyears.TomorrowhewillbewatchingheranxiouslyassheswimsthelongdistancetoEngland.Ernaintendstotakeshortrestseverytwohours.Shewillhavesomethingtodrinkbutshewillnoteatanysolidfood.MostofErna"sschoolfriendswillbewaitingforherontheEnglishcoast.AmongthemwillbeErna"smother,whoswamtheChannelherselfwhenshewasagirl.   Lesson37TheOlympicGames奥林匹克运动会 TheOlympicGameswillbeheldinourcountryinfouryears"time.Asagreatmanypeoplewillbevisitingthecountry,thegovernmentwillbebuildingnewhotels,animmensestadium,andafinenewswimmingpool."Theywillalsobebuildingnewroadsandaspecialrailway-line.TheGameswillbeheldjustoutsidethecapitalandthewholeareawillbecalled"OlympicCity".Workerswillhavecompletedthenewroadsbytheendofthisyear.Bytheendofnextyear,theywillhavefinishedworkonthenewstadium.ThefinemodernbuildingshavebeendesignedbyKurtGunter.Everybodywillbewatchinganxiouslyasthenewbuildingsgoup.WeareallveryexcitedandarelookingforwardtotheOlympicGamesbecausetheyhaveneverbeenheldbeforeinthiscountry.   Lesson38Everythingexcepttheweather惟独没有考虑到天气 Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtafinehouseandwenttolivethere.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Aftersomanyyearsofsunshine,Harrisongotashock.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.Intheend,itwasmorethanhecouldbear.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.Harrisonhadthoughtofeverythingexcepttheweather.   Lesson39AmIallright?我是否痊愈？ WhileJohnGilbertwasinhospital,heaskedhisdoctortotellhimwhetherhisoperationhadbeensuccessful,butthedoctorrefusedtodoso.Thefollowingday,thepatientaskedforabedside  telephone.Whenhewasalone,hetelephonedthehospitalexchangeandaskedforDoctorMillington.Whenthedoctoransweredthephone,MrGilbertsaidhewasinquiringaboutacertainpatient,aMrJohnGilbert.HeaskedifMrGilbert"soperationhadbeensuccessfulandthedoctortoldhimthatithadbeen.HethenaskedwhenMrGilbertwouldbeallowedtogohomeandthedoctortoldhimthathewouldhavetostayinhospitalforanothertwoweeks.ThenDrMillingtonaskedthecallerifhewasarelativeofthepatient."No,"thepatientanswered,"IamMrJohnGilbert."     Lesson40Foodandtalk进餐与交谈 Lastweekatadinner-party,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrsRumbold.MrsRumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.Itriedtomakeconversation.  "Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon,"Isaid."Willyoubeseeingit?""No,"sheanswered."Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered. "WillyoubestayinginEngland?"Iasked."No,"sheanswered.  Indespair,Iaskedherwhethershewasenjoyingherdinner. "Youngman,"sheanswered,"ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbothenjoyourdinner!"   lesson41Doyouc

遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书：以生态交通走廊为界，西部以老城区为核心的人居发展区，东部以东城工业园区为依托的产业发展区，形成东工西居的总体格局；“四片”：人居发展区的老城居住片，后江居住片，产业发展区的东城工业园区和云峰工业区域。溪边路是南溪东岸主要的交通干道,属于上述“一核”的重要组成部分，承担此区域的主要交通流量，同时是江滨绿化长廊的重要组成部分，太保殿车行桥、太保殿人行桥和东桥均为南溪两岸重要的交通联系，是跨溪平衡发展的必要基础设施。因此本工程符合《遂昌县中心城区总体规划（2005—2020年）》的要求。2、与土地利用总体规划、城市总体规划或者村镇建设规划符合姓《遂昌县中心城区总体规划（2005—2020年）》把县城建设定位于一个环境宜人的山水城市上：通过新一轮城市规划的实施，要把历史上在西城区形成的“包饺子”式的工业用地引向东城区集中发展，使城市功能更趋合理；通过城西道路网的开辟，高标准规划东城区道路，结合龙丽一级公路，建设两个进城口道路，使县城形成东西两区连一片的大交通格局；通过对南溪、北溪、襟溪进行综合治理，建设50年一遇的城市防洪工程，形成大水利格局，同时建设“江滨绿化长廊”，实施绿化、亮化、美化工程；本项目即是建设环境宜人的山水城市的工程内容之一，项目建设不改变区域土地利用现状。而且根据遂昌县发改局《项目建议书的批复》，同意该项目的建设。因此本项目建设符合《遂昌县域总体规划》和国家土地利用政策。3、生态环境规划符合性根据《遂昌县生态环境功能区规划》，本项目所在区为优化准入区（编号Ⅳ2-21123D01），即妙高云峰城镇综合发展和产业优化发展生态环境功能小区，在该区域生态保护措施及建设要求中提到要“合理布局功能区块，完善基础设施和配套功能，建立设施完善、环境优美的城镇生活空间；开展河道综合整治，有效遏制松荫溪流域水环境质量下降趋势。”，而本项目的建设正是“完善基础设施和配套功能，建立设施完善、环境优美的城镇生活空间”的一部分，符合该区域生态保护措施及建设要求，因此符合《遂昌县生态环境功能区规划》要求。4、环境功能区划符合性97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书本项目拟建地噪声功能区为2类区，环境空气为2类，水环境功能为Ⅲ类，道路建成后由于完善了南溪东岸的污水管网，提高了生活污水收集率，减少了该河段沿岸废水排放量，可以确保相应河段水质符合水环境功能区为Ⅲ类水质多功能区，项目建设与环境功能区划要求相符。10.3清洁生产原则符合性本项目不涉及。10.4达标排放原则本项目为城市道路建设工程，属于城市基础设施，本身并无污染产生。投入使用后，由于行驶其上的机动车辆噪声、尾气排放而可能引起局部区域的污染。在本报告第6章对项目产生的各项污染物提出了一些原则性的治理措施。经分析，项目运行过程如果中充分考虑了本报告提出的污染治理方案和措施的前提下，则可实现尾气、噪声达标排放。同时项目建设可以完善城市管网建设，提高废水收集率，使更多的废水能进入城市污水处理厂处理后同一排放，可以减少沿岸生活污水的直接排放量，符合达标排放原则。10.5环保设施正常运行要求根据环境管理部门的要求，遂昌县城市建设发展有限公司必须委托有资质的单位，对项目施工期和运营期产生的废水、废气、水土流失治理措施进行方案设计论证，并按照“三同时”的原则与主体工程同时设计、同时施工、同时投产使用，并保障项目环境保护设施、水土流失治理设施的正常运行。以确保项目产生的污染可以妥善处理，生态得到有效保护，不对环境造成影响。10.6总量控制原则和减排要求本项目为城市道路建设工程，工程实施后，无COD、SO2等污染物的排放，因此本项目不存在总量控制问题。10.7保持环境质量原则本项目建设可以提高废水收集率，使更多的废水能进入城市污水处理厂处理后统一达标排放，可以减少沿岸生活污水的直接排放量，减轻对水体的污染；97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书项目建成通车后所产生的汽车尾气和噪音污染经预测，可以确保区域环境达标；在按本环评要求采取有效的生态保护措施后，通过沿途绿化景观工程实施，可以提高现有的区域生态环境质量。因此，项目建设符合维持环境质量原则。10.8风险防范措施问题本项目为城市次干道，设计时速仅30km/h，车流量少，沿途基本无生产使用危险化学品的企事业单位，发生危险化学品车辆事故引起的环境风险概率极低，一般的城区交通事故不会引发环境风险，因此只要加强来往车辆的管理，设置醒目的警示牌，可以将项目可能产生的环境风险降低到最低程度。10.9项目的公众参与程度本项目在环评阶段，采取张贴公示的方法对项目建设以及环评的信息、主要结论进行了两轮的公示；采用发放调查表格的方式对团体和个人进行了抽样调查和统计分析；未收到反对意见，对公众提出的问题进行了回答，并采纳了合理的建议和意见，符合《环境影响评价公众参与暂行办法》的要求。10.10项目对促进持续发展、削减污染物排放、改善环境质量和构建和谐社会的贡献本项目的建设可以完善遂昌城区的交通网络，减缓南溪西岸的交通压力。项目实施后也可快速提升南溪东岸的土地利用价值，加速该区块的土地利用及开发，方便沿线居民的出行，对构筑和谐社会作出了一定的贡献。10.11小结综上所述，在落实了本环评提出各项污染防治和生态治理措施的前提下，本项目的建设不违背建设项目环保审批“十不批”原则。97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书11环评结论11.1主要评价结论11.1.1环境质量现状1、环境空气质量现状由遂昌县环保监测站近两年城区空气环境质量例行监测结果可知，遂昌县城大气环境质量现状较好，各环境空气常规污染因子SO2、NO2、PM10的年均浓度均可满足《环境空气质量标准》(GB3095-1996)中二类区标准限值，符合城市区域环境功能的要求。2、地表水环境质量现状由近三年遂昌水厂取水点、北门桥头、渡船头三个断面的水质例行监测结果可知，评价河段水质较好，符合该河段水功能区划的要求。其中遂昌水厂取水口例行监测年均值均达到GB3838-2002《地表水环境质量标准》中的Ⅰ类水标准，水质较好；渡船头断面2008年水质比前两年有所好转，年均值为Ⅱ类水，说明生活污水纳入庄山城市污水处理厂处理后，该河段的污染负荷有所减少；北门桥下断面年均值为Ⅱ~Ⅲ类水，定级指标为总磷和氨氮，2008年水质比2007年稍有下降，估计与该区域城区扩展，城市管网不配套有关。3、声环境质量现状由噪声环境质量现状监测分析可知，建设项目所在区域各监测点昼夜噪声均可满足《声环境质量标准》GB3096-2008中4a类区标准要求.。其中叶坦桥东头、电力公司门口、下南门路口三测点昼间受现状交通噪声影响较大，华泰实业测点噪声主要由生产车间噪声影响；夜间各测点噪声则主要受南溪水水流声的影响。5、生态环境质量现状项目地处叶坦社区内，东侧紧邻鲤鱼山，山上植被良好，位于溪边路南端的汤公园区块植被以常绿落叶阔叶混交林的典型植被为主，群落总郁闭度0.95，具体植被种类不详，乔木层高8~15m，中97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书间有轻度的陈旧山体滑坡；溪边路中段相邻山体植被以毛竹、针阔混交林为主，郁闭度约70%，植被覆盖尚可。区域水土流失类型以地表径流冲刷引起的水力侵蚀为主，主要表现形式为坡面面蚀。区域现状水土流失强度为300t/km2.a，参照浙江省容许流失强度(500t/km2.a)，属微度侵蚀区。区域无珍稀动植物存在。11.1.2污染防治对策与生态保护措施本工程环境保护静态总投资为357.02万元，其中环境保护工程静态总投资为294.4万元，水土保持总投资62.62万元，项目污染防治对策与生态保护措施见表11-1。表11-1遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境保护投资总估算表序号项目费用（万元）1沿街绿化（行道树）、绿化带29.602噪声防治123垃圾桶、果壳箱等垃圾收集装置154水土保持设施62.625建筑施工废水、施工人员生活污水处理设施206雨水、污水收集管网217.8合计357.0211.1.3环境影响评价结论施工期1、地表水环境影响结论施工期废水主要来自于路基、路面、桥梁97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书施工期间产生的泥浆废水以及施工人员产生的生活污水等。施工期间应加强管理，以减少泥浆废水的产生量，所有的泥浆水、切割块石废水、汽车冲洗水等生产废水经过沉淀等预处理达到相应排放标准后排放，从而减少对周围环境的影响。施工期间应在施工地块安置移动厕所，由此产生的生活污水定期拉走做农肥，施工工地中的食堂、浴室等生活废水应进行必要的预处理，达到相应标准后排放。采取了上述措施后，施工期对水环境影响不大，且随着施工期结束而消失。2、大气环境影响结论施工过程中产生的大气污染物主要是各类施工作业及砂石料、水泥、石灰的装卸和投料过程以及运输过程中产生的扬尘，建筑材料运输时产生的汽车尾气等。通过限制车辆行驶速度及保持路面的清洁，在施工阶段对汽车行驶路面勤洒水（每天4~5次），可收到很好的降尘效果。督促施工单位注意车辆保养，尽量保证车辆尾气达标排放。由于施工期间各类施工机械流动性强，所产生的废气较为分散，在易于扩散的气象条件下，施工机械尾气对周围环境影响不会很大。3、声环境影响结论噪声主要来自道路建筑施工过程。建设期间产生的噪声具有阶段性、临时性和不固定性。因而施工期产生的噪声必然会对附近居民产生一定的影响。为防止和减小本项目施工对周边环境产生影响，在施工期间企业应要求施工单位应严格执行《建筑施工噪声管理办法》。要求项目实施单位要加强一线操作人员的环境意识，对一些零星的手工作业：如拆装模板、装卸建材，尽可能做到轻拿轻放，并辅以一定的减缓措施，如铺设草包等。采用商品混凝土进行大面积路面施工，不进行现场拌和作业，避免拌和机拌和引起的噪声扰民现象。对于放置于固定的设备需设操作棚或临时声障。禁止在夜间施工，因工艺因素或其它特殊原因确需夜间施工的应提前向遂昌县环保局申请夜间施工许可，并接收其依法监督。4、固体废物影响结论施工期的固体废弃物主要来自于建筑垃圾以及施工人员产生的生活垃圾等。以100人，人均产生0.9公斤垃圾计算，生活垃圾日产生量为90公斤。97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书建设单位应要求施工单位在施工过程中不要随意倾倒建筑垃圾，对于建筑垃圾中可回收利用的部分应尽量回收利用，不可回收利用部分可与生活垃圾一并由环卫部门清运。施工期间由施工人员产生的生活垃圾放到指定的垃圾箱内，由环卫部门定期清运。故建筑施工过程中产生的固体废弃物按有关规定妥善处置后对环境影响不大。项目累计挖方量18000m3，填方量9000m3，绿化用土3000m3，产生弃方量6000m3，且全部为土方。必须按照遂昌县水利水电勘测设计所所做的《遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）水土保持方案报告书》中的要求，及时拉到环城南路改造现场用作筑路填方。如时间尚无法衔接，则需确定临时弃方堆场进行妥善堆放，并建设相应水土保持设施，选择合理地点及时恢复植被。落实以上措施后，本项目固废对周围环境影响不大。5、水土流失影响结论根据遂昌县水利水电勘测设计所所做的《遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）水土保持方案报告书》，本工程施工扰动类型、地面坡度、防护措施类型等特点，全部扰动区域划分为道路、桥梁和临时堆土场等土壤流失单元。经预测项目在施工期间，水土流失总量为67.6吨，其中新增水土流失量为62吨。施工期结束后，行道树、绿化带建设，路面硬化后，水土流失现象将大大减轻。运营期1、地表水环境影响结论城市道路营运对水体产生影响主要来自暴雨冲刷路面与桥面，形成地面径流污染水体。经类比调查分析，清污分流后，路面的雨水通过集水井收集汇入埋在地下的雨水管道就近排入水体，城市道路路面径流基本上不会对附近水体造成大的影响，即使有影响也是短时的，而且随着降雨历时增加，污染物浓度迅速下降，这种影响会逐渐减弱。因此，对路面、桥面径流无需采取特殊的治理措施。从水环境正面影响来讲，溪边路的建设，完善了南溪东岸的污水管网，提高了该区域生活污水的收集率，减少了沿岸污水的直接排放量，势必对附近水体改善起到作用。项目为城市次干道，设计的时速仅为30km/h，车流量也较小，发生危险化学品翻车事故概率极小，且附近无饮用水源保护区存在，一般情况下不会对水体造成影响。97湖南大学 遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）环境影响报告书2、大气环境影响分析结论道路建设项目建成正式投入运行后所产生的废气污染源主要是汽车尾气,而汽车尾气中的污染物又与车型、车流量及行驶状态有关。溪边路道路工程属于建设中的城市次干道，设计的车速为30公里/小时。参照《公路建设项目环境影响评价规范》（JTGB03-2006）推荐的HIWAY-2积分模式对该区块道路投入运营后对环境的影响进行预测分析结论表明，项目投入运营后，当2020年高峰期小时车流量达到1208辆时，各类车型的汽车尾气污染物CO、NO2对周围环境影响不大。3、声环境影响评价结论参照《公路建设项目环境影响评价规范》（JTGB03-2006）推荐的线声源模式预测，项目投入运营后2020年当溪边路道路日均车流量达200辆/小时，并且城区禁鸣喇叭的情况下，由于街道临街建筑物面向道路一侧执行4a类区噪声标准，临街区域昼间能达标，相邻2类噪声功能区昼间达标距离<30m，可见由于车流量较小对附近居民生活的影响不大。夜间由于车流量过小（30辆/小时），无法进行预测分析，但当车辆经过时，势必有一定的影响，应注意对沿线居民楼的声环境保护，采取措施，降低运营期噪声对居民工作、生活的影响。11.1.4公众调查项目附近的团体单位及个人对本项目实施的支持率均为100%，无反对意见。被调查的团体、个人希望尽快实施该项目，以改善、缓解日益严峻的城区交通压力。同时，根据国家环保总局《环境影响评价公众参与暂行办法》中的有关规定，在项目环评报告书编制期间，对项目进行了信息公告和环保公告。公告期间，公告张贴处的当地环保部门及建设、评价单位均未收到有关该项目的投诉、意见和建议等。11.2总结论遂昌县城市建设发展有限公司遂昌县溪边路道路工程（下南门路-平昌路）经遂昌县发改局遂发投【2009】70号文同意建设，符合国家和浙江省97湖南大学
