2.2 PROJECT SEGMENTS
Contaminant Management Plan, SVRT/BART Extension
As previously noted, the SVRT project has been divided into five segments for design and construction:
• Line Segment
• Tunnel Segment
• Yard and Shops Segment
• Stations Segment
• Systems Segment
This CMP is intended to cover the Line Segment, the Stations Segment, Yard and Shops Segment (which
includes the planned maintenance facility), and portions (cut-and-cover stations and retained cuts) of the
Tunnel Segment. These areas are discussed in further detail below.
2.2.1 Line Segment
The Line Segment of the SVRT project is a 9.8-mile section of track that will be located along the former
UPRR ROW. The UPRR ROW was owned and operated by Western Pacific Railroad (WPRR) before it was
purchased by UPRR. VTA has since purchased the alignment from UPRR.
The Line Segment project will include the construction of twin tracks from the Warm Springs Station (to be
constructed by BART) south to the retained cut leading to the portal for the tunnel. The Line Segment will be
primarily built at-grade, though the preliminary design currently includes: aerial sections, two retained cuts,
and new depressed roadways. The retained cuts currently planned include:
• Retained cut for Montague Expressway and Trade Zone Boulevard, approximately 5,650 feet long
and 20 to 24 feet deep; and
• Retained cut for Hostetter Road, Lundy Avenue, and Sierra Road, approximately 5,100 feet long and
30 to 35 feet deep.
It should be noted that an aerial alternative replacing the retained cut for Montague Expressway and Trade
Zone Boulevard is currently under consideration.
The new depressed roadways include:
• East Warren Avenue (to be designed and constructed by others);
• Kato Road; and
• Dixon Landing Road.
For design purposes, the stations along the Line Segment are included as part of the Line Segment. These
stations include:
