Contaminant Management Plan, SVRT/BART Extension<br />

and Tunnel Segment (Alum Rock Station, Downtown San Jose Station, and Diridon/Arena Station) will be<br />

included with those segments accordingly for design purposes.<br />

2.2.3 Yard and Shops Segment<br />

The Yard and Shops Segment includes a new BART maintenance and storage facility, the retained cut leading<br />

from the maintenance yard to the tunnel portal, and the Santa Clara Station. The maintenance and storage<br />

facility will be located on approximately 50 acres in the eastern portion of the UPRR Newhall Yard and will<br />

likely extend into the western portion of the former Food Machinery Corporation (FMC) manufacturing<br />

facility in San Jose and Santa Clara, including as an option extending into the former portion of the FMC<br />

facility at 333 Brokaw Road, which is now occupied by Fedex Corporation. As the terminus of the BART<br />

extension, this new facility will include single and double story buildings for maintenance, repair, and<br />

training, transfer tracks, a turntable, a yard control tower, and two parking areas. Construction of the BART<br />

maintenance and storage facility is anticipated to occur primarily at-grade. For design purposes, the Santa<br />

Clara Station will be included with the Yard and Shops Segment.<br />

2.2.4 Tunnel Segment<br />

The Tunnel Segment of the SVRT project, approximately a 5-mile section, extends in a general east-west<br />

alignment beginning at the retained cut leading to the East Tunnel Portal located at the southern limit of the<br />

Line Segment, extends towards the west as a subway under Santa Clara Street in downtown San Jose, and<br />

ends at the West Tunnel Portal near Newhall Street in San Jose. The Tunnel Segment consists of a twinbored<br />

tunnel, cut-and-cover subways at the ends of the tunnel, and a retained cut leading Line Segment to the<br />

portal for the tunnel.<br />

For design purposes, the stations along the Tunnel Segment are included as part of the Tunnel Segment. These<br />

stations include:<br />

• The Alum Rock Station in San Jose;<br />

• The Downtown San Jose Station; and<br />

• The Diridon/Arena Station in San Jose.<br />

Parking areas, drop off areas, and other support facilities for the stations were included in the Stations<br />

Segment.<br />
