Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the Shaying River Yingshang 2nd Ship Lock

1. General

1.1 Background and Scope of the Project

The Shaying River has a very long history of water transport. Since antiquity, its

water transport has been in a constant process of suspension, improvement and resumption.

From 2012 onwards, a three-year-long improvement effort began for the length of the

Shaying River in Anhui. As the last ship lock in the downstream navigation channel, the

Yingshang Ship Lock passed the EIA acceptance test of the Anhui Provincial

Environmental Protection Department in July 2012. With the completion and

commissioning of the Fuyang Ship Lock, navigation for the whole stretch of the Shaying

River has resumed. As the existing Yingshang Ship Lock is inadequate to meet the

navigation requirements, a new bottleneck problem stands in the way of greater transport

capacities. In order to cope with the pressing demand for inland navigation, Anhui

Provincial Port & Shipping Construction Investment Group (hereinafter referred to as

“APPSCI”) has proposed to expand the capacity of the existing Yingshang Ship Lock. The

proposed Yingshang 2nd Waterway Ship Lock Project (hereinafter referred to as “the

Project”, “the Proposed Project” or “the Work”) is an extension of the existing Ship Lock

as well as a subproject of the Shaying river channel improvement project financed by a

World Bank loan. Anhui Provincial Department of Transport has included the Project in its

12th Five-Year Water Transport Development Programme and the Anhui Provincial

Development & Reform Commission has officially approved the proposal submitted by

APPSCI.

The Proposed Project is to be sited on the right of the existing Yingshang Suice Gate

of the Shaying River channel, or more precisely, on the diversion dam between the

Yingshang Sluice Gate and the existing Yingshang Ship Lock. It is located 80km from the

upstream Fuyang Ship Lock and 45km from the downstream Mohekou Town. The

geographical location of the Project is shown in Att. 1 and Fig. 1-1.

The Project is to be built against Grade IV navigation channel standards, with a

design tonnage of 500t (up to 1,000t) and a maximum annual unidirectional navigation

tonnage of 12 million tons. The lock chamber has a dimension of 200×23×4.0m

(Length*Width*Water Depth at Lock Sill). The upstream and downstream approach

channels have a length of respectively 540m and 760m. The upstream approach channel,

measuring 80m across at the bottom, is shared with the Single Waterway Ship Lock. The


2

downstream approach channel is built independently and measures 40m across. A new

ship lock management facility will be built. 300.34m of bridge renovation work will also

be involved. The total area of the Project is 50.26hm2, including an additional 49.45 hm2

for the Work. The additional area includes 9.90hm2 for permanent uses (intended

primarily for hydraulic engineering purposes; it comprises 0.81hm2 for the Single

Waterway Ship Lock and an additional 9.09 hm2) and 40.36hm2 for temporary uses

(dominated by tidal flats, arable land and construction-purpose land for the Single

Waterway Ship Lock).

The Project involves 2.1169 million cubic meters of cut work (including 118,300m3

of overburden soil stripping and 2,400m3 of rubble generated by the demolition of the

existing management facility and the renovation of a bridge), a total backfill work of

644,400m3 and a total spoil work of 1.4725 million cubic meters. 13,500m3 of

overburden soil will be dumped in two temporary spoil areas, 3,300m3 of overburden soil

will be dumped in a corner of the Site of the Project (hereinafter referred to as “the Site”),

101,500m3 of overburden soil will be dumped in a corner of the spoil areas, 2,400 m3 of

rubble will be used for subgrade fill and the remaining 1.3518 million cubic meters of

spoil will be transported to the spoil areas. The actual total spoil work is 1.3518 million

cubic meters, which will be transported to the spoil areas. The planned construction period

is 30 months and the total investment is RMB274.3706 million.

1.2 Environmental Protection

As stipulated by construction project environmental management procedures and

applicable national environmental protection laws and regulations, APPSCI employed

Beijing Zhongzi-Huayu Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as

“ZHET”) to prepare the Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the Shaying River

Yingshang 2nd Waterway Ship Lock Project (domestic edition; hereinafter referred to as

“the EIA Report” or “Report”) in March, 2013 at the feasibility study stage of the Project.

The EIA Report was approved by Environmental Protection Department of Anhui

Province. In order to further control the quality of the Report and fulfill the World Bank’s

requirements, ZHET made further changes, supplements and revisions to the

Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the Yingshang 2nd Ship Lock Project as a

Subproject of the Shaying River Channel Improvement Project in compliance with the

requirements of the World Bank’s procedures. World Bank’s experts reviewed the Report

in January 2014, making comments on the basis of which ZHET made further revisions.

1.7 Focus of Assessment

The focus of the assessment of the Project is on (1) the environmental impact during

the construction period and environmental protection measures taken in accordance with

the severity of the impact; and (2) the environmental impact analysis for ambient noise

emissions and water pollution during the operation period.

1.8 Assessment Period

The assessment period may be the construction period or the operation period,

depending upon the characteristics of the Extension Project.

Construction Period (30 months): Dec. 2013 to May 2016.

Operation Period: 2022 (mid-term) and 2030 (long-term).

1.9 Environmental Protection Targets

1.9.1 Ecosystem Protection Targets

According to field investigation, no important cultural relics or ancient trees or other

precious faunal or floral species listed for protection have been found around the Site. The

vegetative cover on any permanent or temporary land of the Project comprises very

common local natural or artificially-grown plants. There are no basic farmland protection

areas, woodlands or rare species on the brink of extinction which require special

protection. The targets of ecosystem protection are primarily the local ecological

landscape, surrounding agricultural ecosystem and aquatic ecosystem.

1.9.2 Protection targets for Aquatic Environment Protection

According to field investigation and information provided by the relevant authorities,

there is no potable water intake near the Site and local villagers depend primarily on

groundwater and municipal running water for sources of potable water. The Project

involves primarily the Shaying River, which is currently used for agricultural purposes and

plans to be used primarily for industrial purposes. See Fig. 1-1 for the aquatic environment

quality of the Shaying River.

2. Related Engineering Overview

2.1 Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project

For realization of the channel development objective, and taking account of the

current engineering conditions as well as the construction progress in Henan Province and

Anhui Province in the past, Anhui Province has been implementing the Anhui Shaying

River Channel Improvement Project in length of 206km to national standard Class IV, and

the planning for the Project started from 2012. The improvement covers 206km long river

channel with design navigation channel width of 50m, minimum design navigation water

depth of 2.8m, and minimum bending radius of 330m. The main components of the

Project include river channelization and dredging works, reconstruction of cross-river

bridges causing impediment to navigation, embankment seepage prevention, bank

protection, service areas, anchorage areas and navigation aids. The construction works for

anchorage area include both upper anchorage and lower anchorage at Yingshang Ship

Lock. The upper anchorage at Yingshang Ship Lock is located at upper stream 1.3km from

Yingshang Ship Lock, at right bank K158+300 of Shaying River, being in length of 514m,

and being 125m away from centerline of navigation channel; The lower anchorage at

Yingshang Ship Lock is located at lower stream 2.4km from Yingshang Ship Lock, at left

bank K162+700 of Shaying River, being in length of 794m, and being 135m away from

centerline of navigation channel. The anchorage areas mainly serve for safe anchor and

navigation of vessels at waiting time for lock. Up to December 2013, construction works

for upper anchorage at Yingshang Ship Lock has not started, while excavation of

earthworks for construction of lower anchorage is under way. Due to possible time

overlapping between construction duration for upper & lower anchorage at Yingshang

Ship Lock and that for this Project, it is recommended to make overall consideration while

arranging the construction works.

2.2 Yingshang Lock Junction

Yingshang Lock is located at the east of the county town of Yingshang, being 80km

away from Fuyang Lock at upper stream, and 45km away from Mohekou in lower stream.

It is comprised by Yingshang Regulating Lock, Yingshang Ship Lock (single waterway

lock), spillway and access bridge.

2.2.1 Yingshang Regulating Lock

Yingshang Regulating Lock was put into operation upon completion in July 1981.

Being the last-tier junction at lower stream of Shaying River, this Regulating Lock is


26

located in curve cut-off section of main river channel. It is consisted of lock chamber,

spillway, access bridge, and approach bridge of spillway. It has 24 openings and flat

bottom, in open reinforced concrete structure. Each opening is in clearance width of 5m,

therefore the discharge width is 120.0m. The top elevation of its base slab is 18.86m.

Approach bridges exist at both sides of the lock. Elevation of opening bottom of the

approach bridges is 25.00m. When water level above the lock exceeded 25.00m, water

would be discharged through the openings of approach bridges at both sides. Design

discharge volume of the Regulating Lock: 5000m3/s in 100-year recurrence interval.

The Regulating Lock has the function of flood prevention and drainage, water storage

level adjustment, as well as farmland irrigation within irrigation area of Yingshang Lock.

Statistics data from Yingshang Lock Management Office indicates that irrigation water

supply reaches 134 million m3 in June-September, 2013, which was the time for rice

transplanting and fostering.

2.2.2 Control scheme of Yingshang Regulating Lock (Yingshang Lock)

As prescribed in Yingshang Lock Control Application Rule (2013), Flood Control &

Drought Relief Headquarter of Fuyang Municipality shall come up with its control

proposal, and submit the proposal to Flood Control & Drought Relief Headquarter of

Anhui Province for approval, and Huaihe River Channel Management Bureau of Anhui

Province shall be responsible for control and operation of Yingshang Lock. As for other

controls, Flood Control & Drought Relief Headquarter of Fuyang Municipality shall

conduct control in collaboration with Huaihe River Channel Management Bureau of

Anhui Province. When necessary in special cases, Flood Control & Drought Relief

Headquarter of Anhui Province may conduct control. In accordance with the control

scheme, normal water storage level above Yingshang Lock is 24.0~24.5m (measured in

Abandoned Yellow River Elevation System); during dry season and water consumption

peak period, water storage level may be increased to an extent as appropriate. In the event

of massive water coming from upper stream, or heavy rainfall in the forecast interval, and

water level above lock chamber exceeding normal water storage level, the opening degree

of lock shall be gradually increased for purpose of pre-discharging flood. Besides, as

instructed in the “Approval on Adjustment of characteristic water level for flood control

above Zhaoji Lock, Fuyang Lock and Yingshang Lock (Ref. No.: Shengfangzhi

[2012]46)” issued by Flood Control & Drought Relief Headquarter of Anhui Province,

characteristic water level for flood control above Yingshang Lock is: prevention water


27

level 24.8m, warning water level 26.5m, and safety water level 28.45m (all measured in

Abandoned Yellow River Elevation System).

2.2.3 Yingshang Regulating Lock Reinforcement

Yingshang Regulating Lock Reinforcement has been listed as one of the national

major water lock reinforcement projects. Huaihe River Channel Management Bureau of

Anhui Province has designated Fuyang Hydraulic Plan and Design Institute to work out

“Preliminary Design Report on Yingshang Lock Reinforcement in Anhui Province”. The

reinforcement tasks for Yingshang Regulating Lock include: dismantling and

reconstruction of access bridge, construction of new hoist room in frame structure;

dismantling and reconstruction of bridge tower; dismantling and reconstruction of access

bridge and approach bridge of spillway; construction of a new small hydraulic block

power plant at the location of approach bridge of existing spillway; repair of bank

protection; erection of 2 new bulkhead gates; anti-carbonization treatment for side pier at

lower stream of lock; replacement and repair of bottom waterstop and partial side

waterstop; repair of piezometric tube; provision of anti-collision pontoon. As required for

navigation clearance of 2nd waterway ship lock, it is necessary to lift up elevation of

approach bridge of spillway at right bank of Yingshang Regulating Lock, as well as

elevation of partial deck of access bridge of Yingshang Regulating Lock. Among the

construction tasks, approach bridge of spillway at right bank of Yingshang Regulating

Lock shall be dismantled and reconstructed, partial deck of access bridge in length of 35m

shall be lifted up for 0～500mm. It is recommended that transport authorities should

enhance coordination.

2.2.4 Relationship between Yingshang Regulating Lock and Yingshang Ship Lock

Yingshang Regulating Lock was put into operation upon completion in July 1981.

Being the last-tier junction at the lower stream of Shaying River, this lock has 24 openings

in open reinforced concrete structure. Each opening is in clearance width of 5m, therefore

the discharge width is 120.0m. Top elevation of its base slab is 18.86m. The Regulating

Lock has the function of flood prevention and drainage, water storage level adjustment, as

well as irrigation water supply for 300,000 Mu farmland. It has played a significant role in

regulation and reduction of peak flood for middle stream of Huaihe River. Yingshang Ship

Lock is located at right side of the Regulating Lock, connecting to approach bridge of the

C Lock at east side, and crossing the flood control bank at west side. Construction work of

the Ship Lock commenced in September 2005 and completed in 2008, and it has been


28

opened to navigation upon completion. The Ship Lock has the function of allowing pass of

vessels. As the Ship Lock is a part of the Yingshang Lock Junction, the check flood level

adopts that for 20-year recurrence interval. The Ship Lock has no function of flood

discharge, and it does not occupy the discharge section of the river channel or the junction.

The Ship Lock causes no compact to flood discharge of the junction.

2.2.5 Operation status and problem of Yingshang Ship Lock

After Fuyang Ship Lock was completed and whole channel of Shaying River was

re-opened to navigation, waterway transportation volume through channel of Shaying

River has been increased sharply. In 2012, the waterway transportation volume through

channel of Shaying River reached 11 million tons, increased by 83.3% over the year of

2011. At Yingshang Ship Lock-the last-tier lock in channel of Shaying River to Huaihe

River, the cargo volume in 2012 reached 7.7 million tons, which exceeded navigation

capacity of Yingshang Ship Lock. In May 2012, more than 600 vessels had to keep

waiting to pass through the Ship Lock, which caused traffic jam on the waterway.

As Anhui Shaying River Channel Improvement Project to national standard Class IV

is going on, insufficient throughput capacity of Yingshang Ship Lock will become more

and more significant (Throughput at Yingshang Ship Lock is estimated to be 14.5 million

tons in 2020, and 21.5 million tons in 2030). Therefore, it is very urgent to expand

Yingshang Ship Lock by increasing 2nd waterway ship lock, so as to meet the cargo

transportation demand through Shaying River, and the increasing cargo transportation

demand due to social-economic development at inland regions of Shaying River.

As an expansion to Yingshang Ship Lock, construction of 2nd waterway ship lock

will eliminate traffic bottle neck at existing Yingshang Ship Lock. It will meet cargo

transportation demands through Shaying River and development of large vessels, attain

free channel, and boost regional social-economic development.

3. Engineering Overview and Analysis

3.1 Conditions of Existing Ship Lock

3.1.1 Yingshang Ship Lock Overview

Yingshang Ship Lock (single waterway lock) is located at right side of the Regulating

Lock, connecting to approach bridge of the Regulating Lock at east side, and crossing

flood control bank at west side. Construction work of the Ship Lock commenced in

September 2005 and completed in 2008, and it has been opened to navigation upon

completion. The Ship Lock is in size of 180×12×3m (Length×Width×Minimum water

depth above sill). It is designed for Class IV channel and 500-ton vessel, with a design

annual throughput capacity of 6 million Tons. Its lock chamber is pre-stressed reinforced

concrete dock structure. Its upper and tail bays are integral reinforced concrete base slab.

Central water supply system is applied. Guide wall in upper and lower streams is

reinforced concrete counterfort wall structure. Mooring piers at upper and lower streams

are rubble concrete piers structure.

Approach channel: approach channels in upper and lower streams were constructed

through excavation. Its bottom width in straight section is 35m, and extended width in

curve section is 47m, minimum bending radius is 350m. Approach channel in upper

stream is 1318.89m long, while that in the lower stream 1821.94m. Excavated side slope

of approach channel is at gradient of 1:3~4. Bottom elevation of approach channel in

upper stream is 16.4m, while that in lower stream is 14.5m.

Anchorage: No anchorage has been

constructed for Yingshang Ship Lock.

Anchorage is included in the Shaying

River Channel Improvement Project. Up to

December 2013, construction works for

upper anchorage at Yingshang Ship Lock

has not started, while excavation of

earthworks for construction of lower

anchorage is under way.

Figure 3-1 Mooring piers in approach channel at lower stream


30

Before planning of expansion, it was intended to build anchorage area at left bank of

approach channel in lower stream. 4 mooring piers were built in size of 1.0×1.0×2m.

As the location of these mooring piers is in conflict with the location of 2nd

waterway ship lock, these mooring piers will have to be dismantled. See Figure 3-1 for

current status of the mooring piers.

Water consumption volume: On the basis of actual opening times (16 times) per day

in 2013, water level difference between upper and lower streams (water depth above sill

being 3m for sufficient consideration), and lock chamber area (180×12=2160m2), the

maximum discharge flow in low flow period is calculated to be approximately

103680m3/d, equivalent to a flow of 1.2m3/s.

Road bridge over the ship lock and connecting road is designed as Class II road in

flat and light rolling area. Design load is that of Class I road. Road bed is 15m wide, and

road pavement 12m. Road bridge is 15m wide, the same as that of road bed. Clearance

height of navigation opening is 7m. Retreated bank is constructed in compliance with

Class II standard.

Construction works of Yingshang Ship Lock and road bridge over the Ship Lock

commenced in September 2005, and completed in June 2008. The total actual investment

is 140,585,900RMB, including 6,902,000RMB investment in environment protection

which accounts for 4.91% of the total investment.

3.1.2 Types of Transport Cargoes

Through statistics data on cargoes volume through the lock after completion of

Yingshang Ship Lock, it is found that cargoes mainly include coal, mineral, construction

material, foodstuff, fertilizer, and few chemical products. The chemical products are urea

fertilizer, compound fertilizer, Methanol, Hydrogen Peroxide mainly produced at Linquan

chemical plants. Normally, such chemical products will be shipped through Cihuaixinhe

River below Jieshou to the channel of Huaihe River. Only in case of navigation suspension

on Cihuaixinhe River, such chemical products will be transported through Yingshang Ship

Lock to Huaihe River.

3.1.3 Environment protection

As mentioned in the “Examination and Acceptance Sheet on Environment Protection

upon Completion of Yingshang Ship Lock on Shaying River in Yingshang County (July


31

2012)”, two environmental protection measures raised in the Environment Impact

Assessment were adjusted: no oily wastewater treatment station has been provided for the

project, the vessel’s oily wastewater will be treated by oil water separator mounted on the

vessel; upon treatment through septic tank, domestic wastewater will be discharged into

wastewater collection basin (volume being around 13.5m3), and not be discharged to the

outside, but used for green belt sprinkling within management area. Except the said two

points, other measures prescribed in the Environment Impact Assessment have been

basically implemented.

Based on the letter on examination and acceptance comments on Environment

Protection upon Completion of Shaying River Yingshang Ship Lock as issued by

Environmental Protection Department of Anhui Province, together with the examination

and acceptance report, it is concluded that the environmental protection measures raised in

the Environment Impact Assessment have been implemented in the construction works of

Yingshang Ship Lock and overpass road bridge.

3.1.4 Existing Environmental Issues

Through field investigation, it is found that when vessels stop and wait for lock in

main navigation channel of upper and lower streams, and when water flow increases at

water discharge time of the Regulating Lock, the vessels cause impact to safety of the

Regulating Lock. Currently in day time, the Ship Lock will mainly use loudspeaker to

broadcast safety rules for vessels through the lock, even though the broadcasting is in

short time and in controlled frequency, it still causes impact to the residents in the vicinity

of lock chamber.

3.1.5 “Using new method to improve the old one” environment protection measure

After completion of this Project, through efficiency of vessels will be improved, the

waiting time for lock shortened, and the number of waiting vessels decreased, so that it

will reduce vessel’s impact to safety of the Regulating Lock. After completion of this

Project, management system of the Ship Lock will be improved, safety rules will be

repeatedly displayed on LED screen, and usually loudspeaker will not be used for

broadcasting safety rules anymore, so that it will reduce noise impact to ambient

environment.

3.3 Alternative analysis

3.3.1 Alternative proposal comparison for location of 2nd waterway ship lock

Taking account of structure constraints in vicinity of Yingshang Ship Lock, plane

layout of ship lock, overpass road bridge, bank retreat and such other factors, two

alternative proposals have been produced for east location and west location of 2nd

waterway ship lock. The east location proposal is such that the 2nd waterway ship lock

would be constructed between the single waterway ship lock and the Regulating Lock, for

which no retreat of flood control bank and no resettlement of residential houses will be

required; The west location proposal is such that the 2nd waterway ship lock would be

constructed between the single waterway ship lock and the diversion bank, for which

2km-long west (right) flood control bank will have to be retreated to the right side for

60~80m, residential community and commercial premise in 71700m2 along S102

provincial highway will have to be dismantled and relocated, it would be a very tough task

to resettle the residents. Without involvement in sensitive factors of environment

protection, the west location proposal not only requires retreat of flood control bank to the

right side for 60~80m, but also requires more earthworks, dismantling and relocation, land

acquisition and investment than the east location proposal. After overall consideration, it is

to recommend the east location proposal, the same as that recommended in the feasibility

study report.

3.3.2 Selection of size of lock chamber

On the basis of design vessel type and operation proposal, two size proposals are

raised in the feasibility study for comparison and selection: Proposal I: 200×23×4(m)

(Length×Width×Water depth above sill); Proposal II: 230×23×4(m)

(Length×Width×Water depth above sill).

3.3.2.1 Proposal I (200m)

Proposal I: 200×23×4(m) (Length×Width×Water depth above sill). The 2nd

waterway ship lock would be located at the east of the single waterway ship lock. The

longitudinal axis of the two lock chamber will be in parallel with a spacing of 62m. For

connection of guide walls of these two lock, edge line of head bay of 2nd waterway ship

lock in upper stream will exceed 10m to that of the single waterway ship lock.

3.3.2.2 Proposal II (230m)

Proposal II: 230×23×4(m) (Length×Width×Water depth above sill). The 2nd


38

waterway ship lock would be located at the east of the single waterway ship lock. The

longitudinal axis of the two lock chamber will be in parallel with a spacing of 62m. The

basic layouts of Proposal I and II are almost the same. The difference is such that edge line

of head bay of 2nd waterway ship lock in upper stream will be the same as that of single

waterway ship lock, but tail bay will be moved to lower stream for 40m, edge line of tail

bay will exceed the guide wall of single waterway ship lock, straight section of approach

channel in lower stream will be reduced by 40m.

From the above comparison analysis in aspect of engineering factors and

environmental factors, it is verified that the two proposals can meet estimated throughput

demand, without environment constraint. When comparing to Proposal II generally,

Proposal I has advantages: less work quantities, less construction difficulty, minor impact

to normal navigation through single waterway ship lock during construction, less

investment, less wastewater and solid waste produced during construction, and less impact

to ecological environment. Therefore Proposal I with lock chamber size of 200×23×4(m)

(Length×Width×Water depth above sill) is recommended, the same as that recommended

in feasibility study report.

3.3.3 Alternative proposal comparison for road bridge over Yingshang Ship Lock

3.3.3.1 Status of existing bridge

Existing road bridge (old bridge) over Yingshang Ship Lock is in total length of

419.02m. Its superstructure adopts 11×20m pre-stressed cast-in-situ concrete box


42

girder+(38+55+38)m pre-stressed concrete box girder with varied section+4×20m

pre-stressed hollow concrete slab. The (38+55+38)m pre-stressed concrete box girder with

varied section is used to span over the retreated bank at the west side, and the 20m

pre-stressed hollow concrete slab is used to span over the existing ship lock.

As for substructure of the old bridge, 0# abutment adopts U-shape abutment

connecting with bored pile foundation; 17# abutment adopts rib plate abutment connecting

with coping and with bored pile foundation below; bridge piers adopt 2nd column piers

connecting with bored pile foundation. Capping beam adopts large cantilever pre-stressed

concrete structure.

3.3.3.2 Standard for bridge improvement

Due to constraint of old bridge and Regulating Lock, the bridge and its plane layout

will be arranged along alignment of old bridge, centerline of proposed improvement

bridge will be the same as that of existing road and bridge. In accordance with general

layout of 2nd waterway ship lock, this lock is located at east side 62m away from single

waterway ship lock (within the 17th span of old bridge), and being around 90m away from

the end of approach bridge (2nd arch bridge with two spans) of Regulating Lock. Bridge

improvement is designed as per secondary urban trunk road: design speed of 30km/h, road

boundary of 15m width, concrete payment, Class IV navigation channel, maximum

navigable water level of 27.13m (10-year recurrence interval). The bridge upon

improvement will be in total length of 465.21m. 50m pre-stressed continuous box girder

with varied section will be adopted for main span over 2nd waterway ship lock, 27m

adopted for connection with the 14th span of old bridge. Proposal I is that the navigable

clearance height shall be not less than 7m; Proposal II is that the navigable clearance

height shall be not less than 6m.

3.3.3.3 Proposal I (clearance height of 7m)

If navigable clearance height of 2nd waterway ship lock is 7m, it is necessary to

adjust profile of road, dismantle and reconstruct approach bridge (to be lifted up for

around 3.7m), improve bridge (all decks to be lifted up for 1m) over Regulating Lock.

Upon lifting up and improvement, elevation of bridge over Regulating Lock will be transit

to top elevation of existing bank through approach bridge at south side.


43

3.3.3.4 Proposal II (clearance height of 6m)

If navigable clearance height of the 2nd waterway ship lock is 6m, after redesign of

profile of road, the end elevation of approach bridge (double arch bridge with two spans)

of Regulating Lock will be around 33.71m (lifting up for around 2.5m), and it is necessary

to improve bridge over Regulating Lock.

Improvement proposal for bridge over Regulating Lock: partial deck system will be

improved in length of 35m and lift up for 0～500mm.

3.3.3.5 Alternative proposal comparison

In view of work quantities, different navigable clearance heights of the 2nd waterway

ship lock requires different work quantities in improvement of Regulating Lock and its

approach bridge. It is obvious that Proposal I requires more work quantities and more cost

than Proposal II.

In view of environment protection, environment impact caused by the bridge

locations under Proposal I and Proposal II is similar. However, as Proposal I requires more

work quantities, construction personnel will increase accordingly, who will produce more

domestic wastewater and waste than that under Proposal II; besides, construction

wastewater and solid waste produced from construction activity will also be more than

that under Proposal II; Proposal I requires more raw materials than Proposal II, as

Proposal II saves raw materials.

Through overall comparison in view of work quantities and environment impact,

Proposal II is recommended, the same as that recommended in the feasibility study report.

3.4 The 2nd

ship lock

3.4.1 Plane layout

In the proposal (east location proposal) recommended in the feasibility study report,

the 2nd waterway ship lock in size of 200×23×4m (Length×Width×Water depth above sill)

necessary to make retreat of flood control bank. Longitudinal axis of two ship locks will

be in parallel with spacing of 62m. S102 road bridge will run over lock chamber. Edge line

of head bay of the 2nd waterway ship lock will be on the same line with that of single

waterway ship lock in upper stream. Upper and tail bay, as well as lock chamber of the

2nd waterway ship lock will be arranged symmetrically with those of single waterway


44

3.8 Temporary Works

3.8.1 Disposal areas

Earthworks for Yingshang the 2nd waterway ship lock will be in comparatively huge

volume, and large volume of spoil. The design output of earthworks indicates that spoil

are mainly generated from excavation above water and in water. Spoil excavated above

water, mainly from excavation of main structure of ship lock, approach channels in upper

and lower streams and clearance of overburden, will be in volume of 1,475,600m3. For

most of such excavation, 2m3 backhoe excavator will work with 12～15T dump truck.

For protective layer of foundation plane, and for local excavations which would be

difficult for excavator, as well as for side slope treatment, such excavation works will be

carried out by hand, and spoil will be hauled by two rubber wheel barrow. Earthwork in

water will be in volume of 539,800m3, for which clamshell dredger will do dredging work.

1m3 clamshell dredger will be adopted for excavation. Spoil will be transported by 100T

dredge barge to the bank, and then loaded by excavator to dump truck, and hauled to


50

disposal area.

The project is located on Huabei Plain, existing landform around the project area is

flat at high ratio of farmland. Disposal areas cover 33.83hm2 dry land at back of left bank

of Shaying River and back of right bank of approach channel. See Figure 3-3 for layout of

disposal areas.

Average elevation of existing ground at disposal areas is approximately 24m.

Stocking height is assumed to be 4~5.0m, final elevation is 28~29m, therefore the disposal

areas can accommodate 1,405,800m3 spoil. Disposal areas are accessible through S102

highway and existing roads, it is not necessary to build new access road. See Table 3-5 for

basic information of disposal areas.

3.8.2 Temporary spoil storage area

In accordance with construction organization design, temporary spoil storage areas

will have capacity of 103,000m3, which will be used mainly for storage of backfilling soil.

Temporary spoil storage areas will be located at two places with flat ground, covering

4.12hm2 land in total. 1# temporary spoil storage area is located near the bridge of

spillway, covering around 3.84hm2 land. 2# temporary spoil storage area is located on flat

ground at right side of single waterway ship lock, covering around 0.28hm2 land. See

approach channel, covering 0.92hm2 land. Existing ground is flat. See annexed Figure 2

for plane layout.

3.8.4 Construction road

To meet construction demand, 2490m road will be built to connect each working

areas. The road is 6.0m wide, covering 1.49hm2 land. There is no obvious excavation or

filling required for these roads. It is to level the ground, pave the road with construction

waste and sandstone, so as to meet construction demand.

3.9 Dismantling, relocation and land acquisition

3.9.1 Land coverage

Total land coverage for the project is 50.26hm2, including 49.45hm2 new land

3.11 Construction Organization and Construction Proposal

3.11.1 Construction Organization

General construction layout shall be made as compact and rational as possible on the

basis of design, so that all technical index and economic index therein will be advanced

and rationalized. Good and rational construction layout shall be worked out in the key

points, such as division of worksites, traffic and transportation organization, various

temporary works, stock of construction equipments, machineries & tools, as well as

drainage on worksites. The division of worksites shall be suitable for work process. In

principle, the worksites shall be divided on the basis of functional units, so that no

interference will arise among various specialities, work processes and work categories,

which will be beneficial for management and construction.

(1) Transportation condition

Shaying River is navigable for 500t class vessel all year. 102 provincial highway runs

above Regulating Lock and the upper head of single waterway ship lock, with connection

to many national highway and expressway in China. Cement, reinforcement bar, sand,

stone, equipments and other cargoes can be delivered to worksite through Shaying River

or 102 provincial highway. The transportation condition is superior.

(2) Water and power supply

Water for concrete mixing and curing may be supplied from the nearest point of

Shaying River. T connection may be made to 10KV power grid at front gate of ship lock

management office for power supply.

(3) Construction materials

There are many sand pits along Shaying River, therefore sand are available for

purchase in the nearby. Hailuo Cement Factory is operating in Bengbu city at lower stream

of ship lock, and quarries are operating in Huainan and Huaiyuan. Cement and

stones/aggregates can be shipped to quay near worksite and transported to the worksite by

trucks. Magang (Group) Holding Co., Ltd. in Anhui Province produces various kinds of

wires and cables which are available for purchase. Therefore, no sand pit or quarry will be

set up for this project.

(4) Production and living compound

Production and living compound is located at unoccupied area at right side of


59

diversion bank of Regulating Lock, covering land of around 0.92hm2. This land is flooded

land and tidal flat. Upon completion of construction works, the production and living

compound will be duly cleared up, leveled for green belt, and integrated into ship lock

management area.

3.11.2 Construction process

Construction works are mainly consisted of lock chamber, upper and tail bay,

approach channels and road bridge over ship lock and such other auxiliary works. The

main work items include cofferdam, foundation pit support, foundation pit dewatering,

earthworks (excavation and backfilling for foundation pit, excavation for navigation

channel), reinforced concrete, casting for bored piles, fabrication and installation of metal

components, installation of electro-mechanical equipments, and bridges.

(1) Cofferdam

2nd waterway ship lock for expansion is located between single waterway ship lock

and Regulating Lock. During construction, the previous flood discharge section will not be

affected, and all waters coming from upper stream will be discharged through the existing

flood discharge facilities. However, it is necessary to provide cofferdam at upper and

lower stream of foundation pit, so as to retain water.

① Cofferdam for lock head

Design of cofferdam: the water-retaining cofferdam for upper and tail bays shall be in

the structure of two-row steel sheet piles filled with clay in the spacing. Steel sheet pile

will adopt Lassen new V-shape steel sheet pile. The spacing between interior and exterior

steel sheet piles is 2m. Steel top beam will be provided on top of steel sheet piles. H-shape

steel waling will be provided at interior side. Regarding cofferdam for head bay, its design

retaining water level is 27.13m, its top elevation is 28.13m, and filling volume between

spacing of two rows is 1567m3. Regarding cofferdam for tail bay, its design retaining

water level is 23.78m, its top elevation is 24.78m, and filling volume between spacing of

two rows is 952m3.

Construction process of cofferdam: steel sheet pile will be driven by vibrating

hammer. Before pile driving, it is necessary to provide two guide beams along two pieces

of steel sheet pile. Then it is to start drive steel sheet piles from the side of wing wall of

single waterway ship lock to the bank in groups. Upon completion of pile driving, the


60

spacing between two rows will be filled with clay, which should be tamped and compacted

by frog tamper. Top beam and interior steel waling will be welded H-shape steel.

② Cofferdam for construction of mooring piers

Design of cofferdam: construction of mooring piers will be arranged to carry out in

low flow period. During construction, it is necessary to provide and maintain

water-retaining cofferdam by adopting earth-bag cofferdam. Top width of cofferdam is

1.5m. Both interior and exterior side slopes will be at gradient of 1:1. Bagged earth is

required in volume of 7053*2m3, and impermeable geo-membrane is required in area of

3242*2m2.

Construction process: construction of earth-bag cofferdam is a normal one. Earth will

be put into bag by hands. When water level is low, earth bag will be stacked by hand.

Geo-membrane will be laid at exterior side to avoid permeability. Exterior slop toe will

extend to the outside for 2m, and bagged earth will be stacked over it. The cofferdam will

be dismantled by excavator, and load onto dump truck for hauling to disposal area.

(2) Foundation pit support

Cast-in-place pile support will be used for foundation pit support of head bay

(including guide wall in upper stream), lock chamber, tail bay (including guide wall in

lower stream).

(3) Foundation pit dewatering

Excavation bottom elevations of foundation pit for head bay, lock chamber and tail

bay are 8.8m, 9.5m, 7.8m respectively. Excavation depth is 20～22m, which get involved

in water bearing layer. Due to effect of water level in upper stream, permeability

coefficient is within range of 1.50×10-4～1.64×10-5cm/s.

Cutoff wall will be used as main water interception method for foundation pit,

supported by light well-point dewatering. Foundation pit will be enclosed by high pressure

jet-grouted cutoff wall. Axis length of wall top is 674m. Boring shall start from the point

around 20m away from ground. Top elevation of high pressure jet-grouted cutoff wall is

around 19m. It is required that wall bottom should extend into relative impermeable layer

⑦ layer for not less than 1.0m. Drainage ditch will be provided on upper side slope and

stage of side slope, so as to allow for open drainage.

High pressure jet-grouted cutoff wall is required in area of 10089m2, bored hole for


61

11486m, grouting for 8666m; 5 light well points and each point include 30 pieces of well

pipe; dewatering shifts are calculated to be around 3600.

High pressure jet-grouted cutoff wall will be constructed by high pressure

jet-grouting machine. Boring and grouting will be conducted in sequence. Before

construction, it is necessary to make test on productive well points, so as to determine

construction parameters. During high pressure jet-grouting, it is necessary to frequently

check and adjust high pressure water pump, pressure of low pressure mud pump, grouting

flow, wind pressure and wind flow of air compressor, rotary speed and lifting speed of

bore machine, as well as actual grouting consumption volume.

(4) Construction of Earthworks

Construction Sequence

Cofferdam construction, foundation pit excavation and backfilling for head bay;

cofferdam construction, foundation pit excavation and backfilling for tail bay; excavation

and backfilling for guide wall and approach channels in upper and lower streams in the

third year.

Construction Method:

1) Excavation of earthworks: ① For foundation pit excavation, 2m3 backhoe

excavator will work with 12～15T dump truck. For protective layer of foundation plane,

and for local excavations which would be difficult for excavator, as well as for side slope

treatment, such excavation works will be carried out by hand, and the spoil will be hauled

by two rubber wheel barrow.

② For excavation above water for approach channels in upper and lower streams,

2m3 backhoe excavator will work with 12～15T dump truck. 1m

3 clamshell dredger ship

is proposed for excavation in water. Spoil will be transported by 100t dredge barge to the

bank, and then loaded by excavator to dump truck, and hauled to disposal area.

2) Backfilling of earthworks: ① Excavated earth will be used for backfilling of

foundation pit. Such earth will be loaded by 2.0m3 backhoe excavator, and hauled by 12～

15T dump truck to filling surface. For narrow area in width of less than 3.0m adjacent to

retaining wall, backfilling will be carried out by hand layer by layer, tamped and

compacted by frog tamper or by hand. Upper part (filling width≥3m) will be leveled and

compacted by 74KW bulldozer.


62

② Backfilling for buildings will start after concrete or mortar for masonry reached

70% of its strength. Regarding backfilling for outline foundation pit of buildings, it mainly

use 74KW bulldozer for spreading earth in thickness of around 25cm, and for compacting.

At contact areas (width less than 3.5m) with buildings, it should be tamped and compacted

by frog tamper or by hand, spreading earth is in thickness of 15～20cm. Mechanical

construction will be adopted for all backfilling of banks, and 74KW bulldozer will be used

for leveling and compacting.

3) Working Process of Clamshell Dredger

Clamshell Dredger in swing type uses its boom and steel wires to suspend bucket.

The bucket lowers down at its own gravity to bottom of water for grabbing mud. Then

start the wire winch, close and hoist the bucket through pulley on top of boom, swing to

the designated point (or dredge barge) and release mud. The boom swings back to

dredging point and continue dredging operation. Dredging process recycles in this manner.

Clamshell Dredger is mainly used to grab clay, silt, pumice stone, and desirably fine sand

and silty sand.

Working process of clamshell dredger: dredger grabs bite of mud from channel under

excavation, and releases the bite to dredge barge. The dredge barge transports mud to the

water near edge of offshore beach, opens its bottom (body) to release mud, which will be

hauled by truck to disposal area. Maximum grabbing depth of 2m3 dredger is 20m.

Full-load draught of 60～100m3 dredge barge is 2.0m.

(5) Concrete Casting

Concrete casting for this Project will be in volume of 83,000m3, among which

58,500m3 will be for lock chamber, upper and tail bay, and the remaining for mooring

piers, guide piers, upper and lower aprons and other structures.

After completion of foundation treatment, and removal of construction platform,

concrete casting may start for lock chamber, upper and tail bay. Base slab of head bay in

thickness of 3.5m is the maximum block of base slab, requiring around 2780m3concrete,

for which casting will continue for 2 days in 3 shifts.

For concrete casting of base slab, steel formwork will be mainly used as side

formwork, wooden formwork for curvature positions of pier wall, wing wall, as well as

upper beam and column, bamboo glue formwork for plane face of pier wall. For mass


63

concrete in lock chamber, upper and tail bay, mixed concrete will be delivered by truck,

conveyed to casting face through vacuum negative pressure trough, cast block by block

and layer by layer, vibrated manually layer by layer by immersed vibrator. For concrete of

side wall and upper structure, concrete will be pumped to casting face, so as to solve issue

of horizontal and vertical delivery.

All concrete will be centrally mixed in HZS90 type concrete mixing station.

Materials will be fed mechanically. Raw materials will be loaded from stockpile to

aggregate bin by 4.0m3 loader. Horizontal and vertical delivery to each casting face will be

completed by truck and HBT60 concrete pump together with pipe.

(6) Bridge Construction

Substructure of bridge will be constructed in normal method. Pile foundation for

bridge will be rotary drilled and bored pile.

For box girder in superstructure of bridge, concrete will be cast in site with full space

support. Hollow slab in superstructure will be precast in advance, then hoisted and

installed.

3.11.3 Construction Program

Construction program arrangement principle: as for interference construction

between bridge improvement and main structure of ship lock, firstly hydraulic structures

(approach channels in upper and lower streams, lock head, lock chamber), then auxiliary

buildings/structures (management building, substation, water supply and drainage system,

etc). Construction for hydraulic structures (approach channels in upper and lower streams,

main structure of ship lock) will be organized in various stages and various sections.

Construction duration: 30 months in total.

3.12 Engineering Analysis

3.12.1 Pollution Intensity Analysis for Construction Duration of Ship Lock

3.12.1.1 Pollution Chain

Environment pollutions in construction duration can be divided into water, acoustic,

air and solid waste. See Table 3-5 for pollution chain in construction duration of the Ship

Lock Project:

Figure 3-5 Illustration of Construction Process and Pollution Chain

3.12.1.2 Water Environment Pollution Source Intensity Analysis

Water pollution sources during construction include: domestic wastewater discharged

by construction personnel; increasing suspended sediment in water during excavation;

residual water from drying and dewatering for mud delivered from water area to

temporary spoil storage area; oily pollution caused by construction machines. Main

pollutants are COD, NH3-N, SS and oil.

(1) Domestic wastewater pollution intensity source prediction

Domestic pollution source is calculated in accordance with the following equation:

Wi=ACi

Where Wi——Discharge volume (kg/year) of pollutant in i.

A——Man-day (Man-day/year) in construction area

Through analog calculation on the basis of statistical data for normal towns in the

local area, it is predicted that domestic water consumption of construction personnel is

100L/person/day, wastewater production is estimated at coefficient of 0.8. Concentration

of COD is 300mg/L, and concentration of NH3-N is 40mg/L. Construction duration for

Shaying River Channel Yingshang 2nd Waterway Ship Lock is 30 months (assumed to be

900 working days), average construction personnel is around 200, then 180,000 man-day

will be required for the Project. In construction peak period, construction personnel will be

around 300. Discharge volume of domestic waste pollutant by construction personnel is

indicated in Table 3-10. Domestic wastewater volume produced during construction will

be 14400m3, including 4.32t COD and 0.576t NH3-N.

Table 3-10 Domestic wastewater produced during construction

May-day Domestic wastewater

volume COD volume NH3-N volume

180,000 man-day 14400m3 4.32t 0.576t

200 man-day 16m3/ d 4.8kg/d 0.64kg/d

300 man-day 24 m3/ d 7.2kg/d 0.96kg/d

(2) SS pollution source intensity prediction

During excavation in water, foundation pit dewatering, boring well dewatering,

washing operation at sand and aggregate stockyard, washing operation for construction

machines and vehicles, a lot of wastewater with SS content will be produced. It will cause

impact to ambient water environment, and the river flow will become turbid as increasing


70

of SS concentration. The SS concentration during construction period will be within the

range of around 80~160mg/L.

Foundation in water should be constructed in low flow period. In case of cofferdam

adopted for foundation work in water, upon completion of construction works, the waste

arising from removal of filling earth inside cofferdam and bagged earth, as well as rock

mud and silt produced from construction works, shall be transported to and collectively

stored at disposal area. They are not allowed to be dumped into water body. When

grouting pile is used as foundation pit support, bored pile is used for construction of bridge,

the masonry work or casting work will be conducted on site. As wastewater produced

from the inside of cofferdam, and mud produced from grouting pile have relatively high

content of SS, they need to go through sediment in sediment tank, and then the sediment

will be cleared up, transported to and collectively stored at disposal area.

3.12.1.3 Atmospheric environment pollution source intensity analysis

Main impacts caused by construction works to atmospheric environment: dust from

ground leveling and old bridge dismantling, and dust blown by wind during excavation,

transportation and handling of construction materials, and stacking of materials, will

increase concentration of suspended particles in ambient atmosphere, and pollution to

local area will be increased. Monitoring on worksites of same nature indicates that dust

concentration in vicinity of worksites can reach 1.5~30mg/m3. The dust volume from road

is correlated to dust thickness on ground.

Emission of construction equipments (such as vehicles, diesel engine of vessels) is

another important pollution source, which include pollutants of SO2, CO and NO2.

Normally diesel engine of vessels produces NO2 at rate of 1.66kg/kWh, and SO2 at rate of

2.31g/kWh. As illustrated by 8T vehicle, pollutant discharge volume from normal

construction vehicle with diesel engine is indicated in Table 3-11. Such kind of

atmospheric pollution source is relatively scattered, its intensity is difficult to identify, and

it will comes to an end upon completion of construction works.

3.12.1.4 Acoustic environment pollution source intensity analysis

(1) Construction area

During construction, noise of construction vehicles and machines will cause adverse

impact to ambient acoustic environment. Construction machines mainly include dump

truck, excavator, bulldozer, loader, grader, hamper, concrete mixer, pile driving machine,

paver, roller, etc. Most of these construction machines are categorized as burst non-steady

noise source. During operation, noise source of these machines can reach as high as

78~86dB(A); noise of clamshell dredger and dredge barge for excavation in water is

around 80~100dB(A). As there is certain distance between construction area and

residential communities on both sides, together with barrier of banks at both sides, no

much harm will be caused to environment if construction time is rationally arranged.

However, it is necessary to strengthen protection, so as to avoid harm to nearby residents

and construction personnel on site.

(2) Spoil transportation route

This assessment gives particular attention to the impact caused to ambient sensitive

points by truck running on spoil transportation route during construction. Actual total spoil

volume for this Project will be 1,351,800m3, which will be transported to disposal area.

Excavation time for lock chamber and lock head will be 4 months, excavation time for

approach channels 15 months, which will not be overlapped with each other. Excavation

and spoil volume for lock chamber and lock head is 158,600m3, which will be transported


72

to 1# Disposal Area through sensitive point of Xinhe Village (South of bridge). Excavation

time is 4 months (assuming 30 days/month for calculation), each heavy-duty truck will

carry 20T (equal to 5m3)/trip, then it required 265 trips, there are 8 working hours per day,

truck flow will be 33 trucks/hour, and round trip truck flow will be 66 trucks/hour.

Excavation volume for approach channels will be 1,191,500m3, among which 653,400m3

spoil will be transported to 1# Disposal Area through No. 1 route, truck flow will be 50

trucks/hour, and round trip truck flow will be 100 trucks/hour; the other 162,000m3 spoil

will be transported to 3# Disposal Area through No. 2 route, truck flow will be 33

trucks/hour, and round trip truck flow will be 66 trucks/hour. Heavy duty trucks shall run

slowly within speed limit of 35Km/h. In analogy to traffic noise on road project within

operation period, emission source intensity of single heavy duty truck is calculated in

accordance with the following equation:

Heavy duty truck: Lw,l =22.0+36.32lgVl + ∆L Longitudinal slope

Where: Lwl――means average radiation noise level of heavy duty truck

∆L Longitudinal slope——when being less than 3%, the correction will be 0.

Emission source intensity (7.5m) of single heavy duty truck is calculated to be 77.9dB(A).

3.12.1.5 Calculation of solid waste

Solid waste during construction mainly includes excavated earth, dismantling waste


73

of management office and bridge, domestic waste of construction personnel.

Total excavation is in volume of 2,116,900m3 (including 118,300m

3 stripped

overburden, 2400m3 waste from dismantling of existing management houses, dismantling

and reconstruction of bridges), total backfilling 644,400m3, total spoil 1,472,500m

3.

Among the spoils, 13,500m3 overburden will be disposed at 2 temporary spoil storage

areas, 3300m3 overburden will be disposed at a corner of worksite, 101,500m

3 overburden

from disposal area will be disposed at a corner of disposal area, 2400m3 waste from

dismantling will be used as filling materials of road bed, and all the remaining

1,351,800m3 spoil will be transported to and disposed at disposal area. The actual total

spoil is 1,351,800m3.

Assuming domestic waste of construction personnel as 1.0kg/person/day, taking

account of the number of construction personnel and construction duration, domestic

waste during construction is calculated to be 180t in total.

3.12.2 Pollution source analysis for bridge improvement period

3.12.2.1 Construction sequence of bridge

Construction sequence of bridge: To dismantle partial hollow slabs, piers, pile

foundation of old bridge, dismantle approach bridge of Regulating Lock, reconstruct road

bridge over ship lock and approach bridge of Regulating Lock. See Figure 3-6 and Figure

3-7 for dismantling process of bridge over lock chamber, as well as reconstruction of

bridge:

3.12.2.2 Water pollution source

Water pollution sources during construction mainly include: 1) oil pollutant escaped,

spilled, dripped, or leaked from construction machines, oily wastewater produced from

rainwater running over construction machines in open air; 2) domestic wastewater and

waste in living compound causing pollution to water body; 3) When bored pile is used for

construction of bridge, masonry work or casting work will be conducted on site. As mud

produced from grouting pile has relatively high content of SS, they will go through

sediment in sediment tank, and then the sediment will be cleared up, transported to

disposal area.

Bridge improvement will be completed in short period, and wastewater is in small

volume and will come to an end upon completion of construction works. Main water

pollutants are COD, BOD, SS and oil. Repair of construction machines should be

conducted in the maintenance workshop as much as possible. As water for washing during

repair has oily pollutant, it will go through oil separation treatment prior to recycling use.

As for wastewater produced by construction personnel during construction, it is necessary

to provide facilities for sediment, oil separation, harmless treatment, as well as makeshift

lavatory. It is required to regularly clear up these facilities, and transport wastewater to

municipal wastewater treatment plant for treatment, or provide to nearby farmland or

green belt for use.

3.12.2.3 Atmospheric environment pollution source

Main atmospheric environment pollutant is dust, including dust from old bridge

dismantling, dust from transportation, handling and mixing of materials, and dust blown

by wind during stacking of materials. When wind velocity is high or the vehicle speed is

relatively fast, dust pollution will become worse. In addition, construction machines will

produce fume emission during operation. Such kind of atmospheric pollution source is

relatively scattered, its intensity is difficult to identify, and it will comes to an end upon

completion of construction works.

3.12.2.4 Noise pollution source

During construction, noise sources mainly are construction machines (such as

excavator, loader, pile driving machine, paver, roller, etc). Most of these construction

machines are categorized as burst non-steady noise source. During operation, noise source

of these machines can reach as high as 78~86dB(A). Such burst non-steady noise will

cause adverse impact to the nearby residents and construction personnel.

3.12.2.5 Solid waste

Solid waste mainly includes construction waste from dismantling of bridge, domestic

waste of construction personnel. It is necessary to collect and duly remove domestic waste

of construction personnel. Dismantled hollow slab, pier and pile foundation will be used

for reconstruction of bridge whenever possible. If not qualified for reuse, dismantling

waste will be crushed and used as filling material of road bed within management area.

Dismantling waste shall not be randomly disposed at river channel, river bank or any other

places.

3.12.3 Pollution source intensity analysis for operation period of ship lock

3.12.3.1 Management module in operation period

In operation period, unified management will be adopted for 2nd waterway ship lock

and single waterway ship lock. The operation body is Ship Lock Management Station,

which is under direct management of Anhui Provincial Port & Shipping Construction

Investment Group Co. Ltd (APPSCIG) in aspect of administration and business.

(1) Navigation days per year

Navigation days per year are assumed to be 350 days/year.


76

(2) Average through lock times per day

Average one-direction through lock times per day is assumed to be 36 times/day.

(3) Quota of staff

For the newly-built 2nd waterway ship lock, the work will be divided into 3 shifts,

each shift is 8 hours, the quota of staff for each shift is 6 persons. The lock will operate for

22 hours per day. The quota of staff is 28 persons.

3.12.3.2 Water environment pollution source intensity analysis

Water pollution sources in operation period are mainly domestic wastewater

produced by working staff in the lock and working staff on vessels, as well as oil pollutant

produced by vessels. Main pollutants are COD, NH3-N and oil.

1. Pollution source intensity analysis for working staff in the ship lock

In operation period, 28 staffs will work for the Ship Lock Management Station. On

the basis of “Residential Community Wastewater Quality Standard”, actual wastewater

production volume by working staff in the ship lock is assumed to be 100L/Person/Day,

concentration of COD is assumed to be 300mg/L, concentration of NH3-N is assumed to

be 40mg/L. Wastewater, COD and NH3-N production volume per year will be 980t/a,

0.294t/a and 0.039t/a respectively.

2. Vessel domestic pollution source intensity prediction

As prescribed in the “Administrative Regulations of People’s Republic of China on

Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution of Inland Waters Caused by Ships,


77

Decree of Ministry of Communications (2005) No. 11”, vessels shall be equipped with

treatment device or storage containers matching with wastewater volume in accordance

with specifications. Discharge of domestic wastewater that cannot meet discharge

standards is forbidden in inland water. Time for passing through the ship lock is

comparatively short (the ship lock will open for 36 times per day, every opening will take

36.6min, the ship lock will be open for 22 hour per day). In this assessment, the number of

personnel is assumed to be 30 persons, average wastewater per person is assumed to be

100L/d, the wastewater production volume will be 3.0m3/d. Assumed that discharge

volume is 50% of production volume, then the discharge volume will be 1.5m3/d.

Discharge of vessel domestic wastewater shall comply with the “Effluent Standard for

Pollutants from Ship”, minor wastewater meeting the said effluent standard will cause

limited impact on water body, for which this assessment will not make further assessment.

It is recommended that port and channel management authority should enhance

management. It is forbidden for vessels to discharge domestic wastewater when normally

passing through the ship lock.

3. Vessel oily pollutant volume prediction

To improve technical level of inland water transportation vessels, optimize structure

of such vessels, ensure transportation safety of vessels, prevent and treat vessel’s pollution

to water area, the Ministry of Transport promulgated “Administration Rule on Vessel

Standardization for Inland Water Transportation” on October 11, 2001, which came into

force since December 1st, 2001. As prescribed in the aforesaid Administration rule, motor

ships hanging oar engines longer than 20 meters is forbidden to engage in inland waterway

transportation. The Ministry of Transport promulgated “Development Outline of National

Standardization of Inland Waterway Transportation Vessels” on February 16th, 2006. This

Outline defined the general objective for national standardization of inland waterway

transportation vessels, and stipulated that motor ships hanging oar engines will be phased

out. As motor ships hanging oar engines are not allowed for inland transportation, it

effectively reduces oil leakage and other water pollution accidents, decreases noise along

waterway, improves efficiency of ship lock, lowers down safety accidents. In general, it

results in very good social-economic benefits.

As prescribed in the Administrative Regulations of People’s Republic of China on

Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution of Inland Waters Caused by Ships,

Decree of Ministry of Communications (2005) No. 11, effluent pollutants of vessels shall


78

comply with relevant national and local standards and requirements in this regard. In the

event that pollutant of vessel cannot comply with such standards and requirements, it is

required to designate a qualified and competent pollutant receiving entity for receiving and

treatment, and no random discharge is allowed. It is also stipulated that in the event of

ballasted water, washing water, bilge oil water, residual oil, oily wastewater and such other

residual pollutants, it is necessary to make report to and obtain approval from maritime

management authority prior to discharging in accordance with relevant regulations. As

regulated by port and channel management authority, it is forbidden to discharge bilge oil

water into water body when passing through ship lock. Therefore, not much impact will be

caused to water body when vessels pass through ship lock normally.

3.12.3.3 Atmospheric environment pollution source intensity analysis

During operation, main atmospheric environment pollutants are waste emission,

including the SO2, NO2 contained emission from operating engines of vessels, and slight

oily fume from living facility within Ship Lock Management Station. Vessels’ waiting

time for ship lock is around 0.6 hour, during which the engines are almost in idle. Waste

emission is produced when vessels navigate through upper and lower approach channels

(in total length of 1310m). In accordance with calculation method for vessel emission as

recommended by Lloyd's Register of Shipping, every ton of fuel will generate 7.2kg NO2

emission, and 10kg SO2 emission. Fuel consumption for vessel in inland waterway is

assumed to be 3.71kg/kt·km.

On the basis of cargo volume passing through Shaying River Yingshang Ship Lock, it

is predicted that cargo volume will reach 14.50 million tons in 2020, and 21.50 million

tons in 2030. Operation days per year is assumed to be 350 days, NO2 emission from

vessels passing through the ship lock in 2020 will be 0.14kg/d (49.0kg/a), and SO2 will be

0.20kg/d (70.4kg/a). In Fuyang area, prevailing wind direction in one year is east wind,

average wind velocity in one year is 2.8m/s. The surrounding land is flat, pollution source

is mobile, and ambient air has strong dilution capacity. Therefore, slight impact will be

caused by emission of atmospheric environment pollutants to local air environment during

operation. In addition, with development of science and technology, promotion of

advanced technology, inland waterway transportation vessels will be renovated for better

performance in environment protection and energy saving, thus emission of atmospheric

environment pollutants will become less and less in the future.


79

Only a few staffs work in the Ship Lock Management Station. Clean fuel-liquefied

gas will be used. There is no boiler. Therefore, its waste emission can be neglected.

3.12.3.4 Acoustic environment pollution source intensity analysis

Noise sources of vessel passing through the ship gate are mainly noise of motor

(including emission noise) and horn. During operation, noise in distance of 5m away from

noise source can reach 80~90dB(A). Noise creating equipments are continuous and steady

noise source. It will cause adverse impact to residents at both sides. Pre-measurement

indicates that it can meet Class 2 standard as set in “Environmental Quality Standard for

Noise” (GB3096-2008) when at 20m to boundary line of navigation channel in day time

and at 50m in night time. The sensitive point-Jiangxinzhou residential community is

located at 36m away from boundary line of approach channel, and right bank of Ying

River stands as a barrier, therefore slight impact will be caused to this residential

community. With development of science and technology, promotion of advanced

technology, inland waterway transportation vessels will be renovated for better

performance in environment protection and energy saving, thus noise along the waterway

will be reduced in the future.

3.12.3.5 Solid waste prediction

Solid wastes during operation period are mainly domestic waste produced by ship

lock management personnel and working staffs on vessel. Domestic waste production

volume is assumed to be 1.0kg/person/day. 9800kg/a solid waste will be produced by the

28 staffs (in 350d), which will be collectively treated and disposed by City Appearance,

Environment and Sanitation Authority.

As definitely prescribed in the Administrative Regulations of People’s Republic of

China on Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution of Inland Waters Caused by

Ships, it is forbidden to discharge waste from vessel to inland water; waste on vessel must

be received and treated by qualified and competent entity. This assessment will not

calculate domestic waste produced by working staffs on vessel. Waste storage container

with cover shall be provided on vessel, which shall be impermeable and shall have no

spillover. Or alternatively, bags can be used for waste storage. Waste shall be classified,

collected and stored, so as to meet demand of vessel waste storage during navigation. It is

forbidden to use disposable foaming plastic tableware that cannot be degraded.


80

3.12.4 Investment and analysis on current pollution source of single waterway ship lock

Through field investigation, it is found that the main pollution source of Shaying

River Yingshang Junction is the pollutant discharged by the ship lock management station,

which have 20 working staffs at present.

3.12.4.1 Source of Water Pollution

On the basis of “Residential Community Wastewater Quality Standard”, actual

wastewater production volume by working staff in the ship lock is assumed to be

100L/Person/Day, concentration of COD is assumed to be 300mg/L, concentration of

NH3-N is assumed to be 40mg/L. Wastewater, COD and NH3-N production volume will be

2000L/d, 0.60kg/d, 0.08kg/d respectively. In compliance with the letter regarding

examination and acceptance comment on environment protection upon completion of

Shaying River Yingshang Ship Lock Project, the wastewater of the ship lock management

station will be treated through septic tank, and then used for green works, and not

discharged to the outside.

3.12.4.2 Atmospheric environment pollution source

Some working staffs of the ship lock management station take food in the dining hall.

Clean energy of liquefied gas and power is used in kitchen. Oil mist will be treated by

kitchen ventilator. Therefore the waste gas can be neglected.

3.12.4.3 Solid waste

Solid wastes of the ship lock management station are mainly domestic waste

produced by ship lock management personnel. Domestic waste production volume is

assumed to be 1.0kg/person/day. 7.0t/a domestic waste will be produced by the 20 staffs,

which will be collectively treated and disposed by City Appearance, Environment and

Sanitation Authority.

3.12.5 Summary of pollutants in ship lock

4.1Natural Environment

4.1.1 Geographical Position

Yingshang 2nd

Ship Lock Project is located at the Yingshang hub of the Shaying

River Channel, between the Yingshang Regulating Lock and the existing Yingshang Ship

Lock.

The shipping history of Shaying River could be traced to the year of 506 BC, and the

channel has been renovated for many times. The Shaying River flows towards the

Yingshang County when it comes to the Yingshang hub, taking on an outlook of a large

curve, where people made a curve cut-off to the Shaying River in the 1950s of the last

century. In 1982 the regulating lock was built at the part of curve cut-off but without built

matching navigation facilities. In 2008, the last grade ship lock of the lower reaches of the

Shaying River---Yingshang Navigation Lock, was completed and opened to navigation.

After the year of 2008, the Shaying River Channel restored the navigation entirely, with

the completion and operation of the Yingshang Ship Lock, Fuyang Ship Lock, and

Genglou Ship Lock.

4.1.2 Climate and Meteorology

The Works area lies in a region transiting from warm temperate zone to subtropical

zone, belonging to sub-humid continental climate of the warm temperature zone.

Changing with the fluence of monsoon and relief feature, the climate appears arid rainless

in Winter and Spring while stuffy rainy in Summer and Autumn. The mean temperature of

air through out the year is 15.1℃, with the extreme maximum and the extreme minimum

are respectively 41.2℃ and －22.8℃. The frost-free season of the area is about 220 days

on average.

4.1.3 Topography Survey of the Region

The project area is located at the Huaibei Plain. The 2nd

ship lock’s main building

expansion site is situated in a flat terrain with a ground elevation of 23.0～25.0m. The

micro-relief sheet of the approach channel are the flood plain and the riverbed of the

Shaying River, with a ground elevation of 23.0～25.0m, an elevation of about 20.0m in its

upper reaches, and an elevation of about 15.7m in the lower reaches.


83

The reconstructed expansion site of the bridge stage appears a flat terrain, with the

flood plain of the Shaying River as its micro-relief sheet and a ground elevation of

25.26～25.51m, the elevation becoming higher gradually when getting near the dam, and

the elevation of the embankment filling 0.5～6.0m higher than the original ground. For the

details of the original raw topography of the Works’ surroundings, please refer to Figure

4-1.

4.1.4Geology of the Works

The project area of the extension is in the stratum exposed within the scope of

exploration depth, mainly containing about over the depth of 16m the alluvial materials of

the reiver bed and flood plain of the Shaying River, belonging to Pleistocene Series of

Quaternary System (Q4al) , while below the depth of 16m, the river alluvial materials of

Holocene Series of Quaternary System (Q3al) .

4.1.5Water Resource Conditions

The Shaying River enjoys rich water resources, mainly coming from rainfall and

other anabranches. According to the feasibility study report, the ship lock has an average

water consumption of 9.73m3/s one day. It has an average lockage time of 36.6 minutes, a

quota of 21367 m3 as its one time irrigation water volume of the ship lock, and an

emptying time of the lock chamber of about 7 minutes. The emptying time of the ship lock

is just a temporary process, while during the majority of the time there is still water in the

approach channel, and even during the emptying process the water flow velocity in the

approach channel (with a bottom breadth of 40 meters, and a minimum water depth of 2.5

meters) is relatively small. The main stem flows without changes after the construction of

the ship lock project. According to the design of the ship lock, the filling time of the lock

chamber is calculated as 7 minutes one time, the discharge will be about 50.9m3/s and the

current velocity only 0.5m/s, therefore the influence on the water consumption of the

Yingshang Lock by the ship lock construction is very small. However, taking into account

the increase in the volume of cargo traffic passing through the ship lock as well as the


85

increase in the time of opening the lock and emptying the water, the storage capacity at the

lock will be consumed. Because the water level is mainly controlled by the regulatory lock,

it should be kept in accordance with the hydraulic department to optimize the use of the

water resources.

4.1.6Groundwater

The groundwater in the project area belongs to the type of unconfined groundwater,

mainly occurring in the Pleistocene Series of Quaternary System (Q4al) and the deeper

Holocene Series of Quaternary System (Q3al). During the survey, the bury of groundwater

of actual measurement in the ship lock project area is 1.4～3.0m and the corresponding

groundwater elevation is ▽23.14～▽22.43, therefore the deep laer groundwater does not

have much effect on the ship lock project. During the survey, the bury of groundwater of

actual measurement in the approach channel project area is 1.50～4.70m and the

corresponding groundwater elevation is▽ 23.15～ 23.87m, therefore the deep laer

groundwater does not have much effect on the ship lock project. The elevations of the

Shaying River, in the upper reaches and the lower reaches are 24.3m and 18.1m. The

groundwater is mainly supplied by river and wet precipitation. According to relevant

materials, the groundwater type is HCO3--Cl--Ca2+

, which is non-corrosive to reinforced

concrete.

4.1.7Earthquake

According to Seismic Peak Ground Acceleration Zonation Map of China (1:4 000

000) (GB 18306-2001), the seismic peak ground acceleration of the site of the extension

project is 0.05g.

According to Code for Seismic Design of Buildings (GB 50011-2001), the soil type

of the site is judged as mid soft soil, the ground category as category II, located at the

unfavorable district for seismic buildings, with a cycle of design feature of 0.35 g.

4.2Social Environment Yingshang County lies in the northwest of Anhui Province, where the Huai River

meets the Ying River. The county occupies a land area of 1859 square kilometers,

accounting for 1.4% of Anhui Province, among which 103 thousand hectares are

cultivated land. The county is flat and open, belonging to Huaibei Plain and Huai River

Region, sloping from northwest down to southeast, with the elevation ranges from 40 to

38 m. The soils are mainly Shajiang black soil, with stable soil texture, proper pH value


86

and strong capability of fertility maintenance. There are rich mineral resources in the

territory of the county, among which the proven iron mine reserves reach over 10 billion

tons. In 2012, it realized a gross regional domestic product (GRDP) of 16.7 billion Yuan,

with an year-on-year growth of 12.2%; an industrial value added of 8.3 billion Yuan, with

a growth of 15%; an investment in the fixed assets of 7.5 billion Yuan, with an increase of

25.8%; and a financial revenue of 3 billion Yuan, increased by 18.5%.

of the deployed monitoring points from April 26, 2013 to April 27, 2013, with the

continuous monitoring lasting for 2 days and sampling analysis once per day.

（3） Monitoring Factors

According to the water quality status of the surface water with the evaluation scope

and the features of the project, the monitoring items of the water quality are determined as

total to 9 kinds including pH, DO, chemical oxygen demand (CLD), suspended matter,

biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN),

petroleum and fecal coliform bacteria (FCB).

（4） Sampling and Monitoring Analysis Technology Methods

Samplings are selected pursuant to the relevant provisions of Technical Specifications

Requirements for Monitoring of Surface Water and Waste monitoring (HJ/91-2002) and

Water Quality Sampling—Technical Regulation of The Preservation Handling of Samples

(GB12999-91). Water quality analysis is conducted pursuant to the standard analysis

methods stipulated in Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002).


90

（5） Motoring Results of Water Quality Status

For the statistics of average values of the current environment evaluation conducted

on April 26 ~ April 27, please refer to Chart 4-3.

4.5.2 Status Evaluation of Surface Water Environment

（1）Evaluation Criteria

According to the function planning of water environment of Anhui province and the

standard confirmation issued by Fuyang Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, the

water quality of Shaying Rive surface water is pursuant to the water quality standard of

category IV in Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002) (SS

implementing the standard extreme for dry corp stipulated in Standards for Irrigation

Water Quality (GB5084-2005)).

（2） Evaluation Factors

Combining with the monitoring situation of the surface water, except for DO, 8

monitoring elements including H, COD, SS, BOD5, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen

(TN), petroleum and fecal coliform bacteria (FCB), except fr DO, are selected as the

evaluation factors of the surface water in the current evaluation.

（3） Evaluation Method

Standard index evaluating method of HJ/T2.3-93 Guidelines for Environmental

Impact Assessment is adopted to make evaluation to the water environment status.

（4）Evaluation Results

According to the single index calculation results (see Chart 4-4): monitoring factors

including pH, DO, COD, BOD5, petroleum and fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) of sections

reach the Category IV standard requirements of Environmental Quality Standard for

Surface Water (GB3838-2002); SS meets the standard extreme value requirement for dry

corp kind stipulated in Standards for Irrigation Water Quality (GB5084-2005); total

phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) of the three sections all exceed the standards, TN

exceeding by a 3.05 times, and TP exceeding by a 0.62 times. The status of the surface

water quality of the district of Yingshang Ship Lock of Shaying River does not meet the

standard requirements Category IV of Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water

（GH3838-2002）.


91

It is indicated in the investigation that, TN of the 10 sections all exceed the criteria

when conducting monitoring to the water quality status of the stage from the junction of

Henan-Anhui on the Shaying River Channel 100m to the lower reaches to Yingshang

County, with an exceeding time of 3.04~4.15; TP exceeds in 8 sections, with an exceeding

time of 0.03~0.65 (data drawn from Report of Environment Impact of The Realignment

Project of Anhui Shaying River Channel), therefore the main cause of TN and TP

exceeding criteria at the stage of the Yingshang County of the Shaying River is the

pollutants carried in the upper reaches. Furthermore, there are cultivated lands deployed

near the ship lock of Yingshang of Shangying River, therefore it is suggested that

non-point source pollution from agriculture in the rural area may be one of the reasons that

caused TN and TP exceeding the criteria.

4.6Groundwater Environmental Quality Status and Evaluation

（1） Monitoring Results

On December2, 2013, Fuyang Environmental Monitoring Station made selected a

groundwater sample in the well of the Xinhe Village near the approach channel in the

4.7.2Acoustical Environment Status Evaluation

（1）Evaluation Criteria

Pursuant to Confirmation Letter on the Applicable Environmental Impact Assessment


Xing Shen Han [2013]27) issued by Fuyang Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau,


97

4a category criteria of Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008) are

applied to the scope 30m within the red lines of the both sides of the channel and the

criteria of category 2 of the standard hereof is applied to the other scope, for monitoring

the acoustical environment.


Please refer to Chart 4-7 for the monitoring and evaluation results of the status of the

sensitive sites and the environmental quality of the approach channel boundary, and refer

to Chart 4-8 for the results of vehicles volumes.

From the monitoring and evaluation results of the status of the sensitive sites and the

environmental quality of the approach channel boundary (Chart 4-10) we can see that, the

noise status values at the sensitive site N1 (M1) are 51.6~53.2dB(A) in daytime and

44.3~45.0dB(A) in the nighttime, meeting the standard requirements of Category II of

Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008); the channel boundary noise of

N2 and N3 are 52.0~52.5dB(A) in the day time and 48.2~48.9dB(A) in the nighttime,

conforming to the extreme limits stipulated in Emission Standard for Industrial Enterprises

Noise at Boundary (GB12348-2008); the noise monitoring point of the road bridge N4

appears 72.4~73.8dB(A) in the daytime and 54.6~54.8dB(A) in the nighttime, with a

degree of 3.8~2.4dB(A) exceeding the standards in the daytime, both the two days’

exceeding of monitoring noise caused by the noises sent by the diesel vehicles like trucks

passing through the road bridge. The monitoring data of November 30~December 1 show

that, the monitoring value of the status of the five sensitive sites (M3~M7) with serial no.

of N5~N8 and N11 are 39.1~60.0dB(A) in the daytime, and 2.4~48.6dB(A) in the

nighttime, satisfying the standard requirement of Category II of Environmental Quality

Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008); sensitive sites with serial no. of N5 and N6 show a

relatively higher monitoring noise value correspondingly because they are nearer to the

road bridge ane be affected by it more. The sensitive site N9 (M8) appears

53.5~56.3dB(A) in daytime and 50.2~50.4dB(A) in the nighttime, with the values of the

nighttime exceeding the standard by 0.2~0.4dB(A). The monitoring point is located at the

east side of the left dam, with S102 going through the gate of the family area of the

regulating lock office, carrying a big traffic volume, and the sensitive site is mainly

affected by the traffic noise of S102, and large and middle vehicles volume are similar

with that of the daytime and there there dog biking from family area when making

monitoring, therefore above causes lead a little exceeding criteria in the nighttime.


98

4.7.3Monitoring of Attenuation Sections of Ships of Approach Channel

Select the middle part of the approach channel in the lowe reaches, relatively open

and without human interferences to set the ship noise attenuation sections, and the

monitoring data are included in Chart 4-9. For relationship between noise attenuation and

distance please refer to Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4 Section of Noise Attenuation of Ships of Approach Channel

According to the statistics results we can conclude that:

①As the space and distance increase, attenuation of noise value is relative obviously.

It meets the criteria of the Category II out of the both sides of the approach channel both in

the daytime and in the nighttime.

②It could be shown in the monitoring statistics results that, it meets the principle of

noise attenuates gradually as the distance increases, displaying a maximum noise value at

the place of 40 m in distance in the synchronous monitoring value, with 59.2dB (A) as the

noise in the daytime, 54.5dB (A) in the nighttime; and a minimum noise value at the place

of 20 m, with 38.5dB (A) as the noise in the daytime, 36.5dB (A) in the nighttime

③It could be learned in the data listed in Chart 4-9 that, for the sections of noise

attenuation of the traffic of the ships of the approach channel of 40～60m, 60～80m, 80～

120m, and 120~200m, the attenuation values in the daytime are respectively 2.6, 2.3,10.3

and 5.5dB(A), and those in the nighttime are respectively3.5, 2.5, 5.3, 6.7dB(A). The

monitoring noise values in the daytime and in the nighttime are relatively large around

80m, and the place of 80 m of the monitoring points is located at the top of the approach

channel, therefore it is seen that the dam of the approach channel has a good obstruction

function for the noise spreading, working as a natural noise barrier.


99

4.7.4Continuous Noise Monitoring of 24 Hours of Traffic Noises

The continuous monitoring of 24 hours is conducted by selecting the place of the

right top over the lock chamber and in the north side of the road bridge. Meanwhile the

traffic volume are recorded, for the monitoring results please refer to Chart 4-10 and

Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6.

From Chart 4-13 and Figure 4-5-6 it can be drawn that:

①At the continuous monitoring point of 24 hours, the traffic noises are in portion

with the traffic volumes, and the noise increase with the increase of the traffic volume.

②

The continuous monitoring point of 24 hours of noise difference of between the


100

daytime and the nighttime is small mainly because the traffic volume of the large and

middle vehicles which contribute most to the noise are basically the same in daytime and

in the nighttime.

③From the the continuous monitoring results comparison of the traffic noise and

vehicles volume and Chart 4-13, we learned that: the statistic results shows large vehicle

types account for 14.8% of the whole day traffic volume, middle vehicles 15.88%, and

small vehicles 69.28%, while in nighttime their portion are respectively 33.9％，46.1％,

and 20.0％. It is seen that at present small vehicles in operating are the most, then the

middle, and the large vehicles are the lest, while in the nighttime the middle vehicles are

more than large and small vehicles.

4.8Sediment Environmental Quality Evaluation

4.8.1 Status Monitoring

On April 24, 2013, Fuyang Environmental Monitoring Station made a sampling once

near the Yingshang Ship Lock of Shaying River, the sampling method conducted

according to relevant environment monitoring technical specifications. The monitoring

factors are 8 items including pH, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg, As, Cr, and Ni, and the monitoring is

referred to in Figure 2. Furthermore, for data of TN and TP, please refer to the status

monitoring data in the evaluation of environment impact of the realignment project of

Anhui Shaying River Channel.

4.8.2Evaluation Results

（1） Evaluation Criteria

Pursuant to Confirmation Letter on the Applicable Environmental Impact Assessment


Xing Shen Han [2013]27) issued by Fuyang Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau,

the sediment of the channel is referred to the criteria of Grade II of Environmental Quality

Standard for Soils (GB15618-1995). Additionally, the current evaluation meanwhile refer

to the control criteria of Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use

(GB4284-84).

（2）Evaluation Method and Results

The status of the sediment is evaluated by using single factor contaminant index, and

it is shown by the evaluation results (Chart 4-11) that: the contents of all kinds of heavy


101

metal pollutants in the sediment of the Ying River Channel of the Shagying River are

smaller than the criteria of Grade II of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils

(GB15618-1995), and meanwhile smaller than the control criteria of Control Standards for

Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use (GB4284-84), and could be used in spoil area

for biological recovery construction after piling and wind dried naturally, without the plant

growth and human health affected by the heavy metal contents. Spoil quality basically

does no bring noise harming plant and environment.

（3） N and S concentrations in Sediment

According to the analysis results of the sample mud (surface layer of 5cm) of from

the Shayinag River surface, on the N and S content, conducted by Fuyang Environmental

Monitoring Station and included in Report of Environment Impact of The Realignment

Project of Anhui Shaying River Channel, the N and S contents range respectively within

0.2～0.7mg/kg and 0.15～0.56mg/kg, with 0.45mg/k and 0.26mg/kg as their average

value respectively. The monitoring data of the Sediment in the district of the Yingshang

County of the Shaying River Channel shows that, the TN content of the sediment of the

river channel is 0.655mg/kg, a little higher than the average level; and TP content is

0.151mg/kg, a little lower than the average level. TN and TP contents of the surface of the

sediment of the Shaying River are very low, therefore, basically it will not affect the whole

water quality because of little organic nutrients like N, P and others caused by the disturbs

when making digging operating in the sediment digging project.

5 Environmental Impact Assessment and Prevention and Control

Measures

5.1 Social environment impact

5.1.1 Transportation

（1） Highway bridge

During the construction period of this Project, due to highway bridge reconstruction,

the temporary traffic interruption will have adverse impact to the local transportation. This

bridge is an important passage to get in and out of Yingshang County, so the impacts to

vehicles and pedestrians shall be respectively considered.

In recent years, with the development of social economy, Yingshang successively

built multiple bridges across Ying River, including Ying River Bridge No.2, Ying River

Bridge No.3, Ying River Bridge No.4 and Ying River Bridge No.5, which significantly

improves the urban transportation in the east-west direction and extends the urban

development space. Due to the bridge density has a sharp increase, during the bridge

reconstruction period, this Project will not set temporary bridge or other temporary traffic

facilities; vehicles can make the round via other bridges; for example, they can make the

round from Shunhe Road in the right side of Yingshang Ship Lock, →Guangzhong

Avenue and → Yingxi Road in the left side of check gate, with 5km of detour mileage.

This bridge is an important passage to get in and out of Yingshang, and there is

school nearby, and it is inconvenient for the pedestrians, residents and students nearby to

interrupt the pedestrian access, so it is advised to retain the pedestrian access function on

the bridge, and the construction period shall be arranged at summer vacation or winter

vacation when there are less students nearby; it shall remind the pedestrians to pass there

safely and cautiously during the construction period.

Ship lock highway bridge traffic interruption will have adverse impact to the local

transportation and the local government and transport section shall complete the

coordination and guidance work.

（2）Existing Yingshang Ship Lock

During the 2nd waterway ship lock construction, the existing Yingshang Ship Lock

will continue for navigation, and they will maintain the existing ship lock navigation

capacity by taking steel plate cofferdam and foundation pit supporting; therefore, it will


103

not have significant impact on the navigation ships.

5.1.2Population health protection

1. Construction area clean-up

At the early stage of construction period, carry out the cleaning and disinfection work

of the construction camps, level the site, use phenol drug use motor sprayer to disinfect the

toilets and garbage heap on the construction camp, and clean the solid waste.

During the construction period, carry out deratization, mosquito eradication and fly

eradication activities in the construction range to reduce infectious vector and cut the

pathophoresis route. Especially the deratization work shall be strengthened, which shall be

carried out once a quarter. Use miehailin aerosol to exterminate flies, twice a year.

2. Food hygiene management and supervision

Regular food and hygiene inspection and supervision to the construction area must be

conducted; the kitchen staff must have hygiene license to do their job, the ones who have

access to food must have “health certificate”; if any food poisoning, effective control

measures must be taken to prevent source of the disease from expansion.

3. Health and epidemic prevention

The construction workers must have physical examination before they get into the

site, and if there is any new-entry infectious disease, the patient must be quarantined to cut

off the route of transmission; in the second year, carry out physical examination to 20% of

construction workers to know their health conditions and prevent prevalence of diseases.

Set medical aid post in the place with relatively concentrated construction workers,

equipped with commonly used drugs to carry out simple treatment and first aid of

occupational injury.

The constructor and engineering management department in the construction area

shall have a health and epidemic prevention duty officer to manage the health and

epidemic prevention in the range and carry out the food and hygiene publicity and

education to the construction worker to improve their consciousness to prevent diseases.

5.1.3 External workers

The adverse impact to social environment in the construction period is also reflected

in external construction workers’ impact to the society. The increase of external


104

construction workers whose lifestyle has major difference with the local residents, might

lead to conflict or theft; the public security has potential unstable elements.

These impacts are temporary and will end with the completion of the construction

period; on the other hand, the construction unit shall strengthen the training to the

construction workers and publicity about the construction process to the residents nearby

to fully understand this project and the construction workers and that the construction will

not have long-term and significant impact to the living quality of local residents.

5.2 Ecological and Environmental Impact

5.2.1 Ecological and environmental impact in construction period

In construction period, the ecological and environmental impact elements are:

(1) Land occupation impact: permanent land occupation is mainly for ship lock main

works and approach channel excavation works, including water conservancy facilities land;

and temporary land occupation is mainly for construction machinery, site and spoil area;

(2) Mechanical work: its rolling compaction damages the aboveground vegetation

and dusts fall on the leaves of plants, influencing the photosynthesis and respiration

processes.

(3) Water and soil loss: due to dredging of sludge, bridge reconstruction and other

works during the construction process, there might be water and soil loss;

(4) Impact on aquatic organism: it mainly happens in the construction period;

5.2.2 Impact on vegetation

The impact of Yingshang 2nd waterway ship lock engineering on the vegetation

along is mainly reflected on two aspects: first, permanent land occupation reduces the

shrubby grassland area along the Shaying River and the landscaping vegetation area

within Administrative Office land occupation; second, the temporary land occupation of

excavation area in the construction period will damage the aboveground vegetation, and

its recovery requires a certain period of time; see Clause 5.1.1.5 for the impact analysis of

excavation area. In this section, we focus on the impact of permanent land occupation to

vegetation in the region.

According to field survey, the tree loss caused by engineering permanent land

occupation is mainly the plants cultivated by people in ship lock Administrative Office,


105

and it is advised to transplant the trees before the construction and then use them for

landscaping after the completion of works. This project’s impact to flood land shrubby

grassland mainly is reflected in the occupation of flood land due to approach channel

excavation, which reduces the flood land vegetation area and has a certain influence to the

ecological function and benefits in some areas.

The vegetation loss caused by engineering permanent land occupation will have

certain influence on the existing ecological system; but the loss amount is next to nothing

to the entire region, and the slope protection greening in ship lock engineering area and

greening compensation from the water department will make up for considerable biomass;

therefore, the vegetation destroyed by the 2nd waterway ship lock engineering will not

have influence to the abundance of species and ecological functions of the ecosystem near

the engineering.

5.2.3Impact on aquatic organism

（1） Impact on plankton

The spatial and temporal distribution and change in quantity of plankton are closely

related to the water transparency, and in the engineering construction period, approach

channel excavation will generate some suspended matters, which spread with change of

water flow field and form a certain range of suspended matter high-concentration

distribution area, leading to the decrease of local water transparency, and thus influencing

the growth of plankton. We can know by comparing with the actual works in the Dian

Lake dredging, the SS concentration in the water area 15m from the cutter-suction dredger

rimer center clearly increases, the rates of release of N and P pollutants are 1~2 times

higher than the ones in condition of rest, and the water environmental impact outside the

15m range is not very obvious; the grab-type dredger construction’s impact to water area

is way smaller than the cutter-suction dredger. Therefore, in the bottom sediment dredging

process, SS’s impact to the water quality of Shaying River is limited.

In general, compared to the evaluated water area, the influence range of the

construction is not very big, the suspended sand increment caused by the construction is

not very obvious, and the disturbed bottom sediment will continuously set and dilute due

to the gravity and flow of the river; therefore, this project’s impact to the plankton of

Shaying River is minor.

（2） Impact on bentonic organism


106

Benthos is one of the important aquatic organism types in the aquatic ecosystem of

Shaying River water area, and the impact of environmental change to their survival is

rather obvious due to their low mobility; the most direct influence is the loss of benthos

caused by reduction of bottom sediment out of approach channel excavation. But in

general, the construction will only have a certain disturbance to the benthos in this area

during the excavation process, and with the gradual settlement of bottom sediment after

the construction, the benthos nearby will gradually return to the damaged habitat, and the

number of species and biomass will have a slow rebound process. Although the approach

channel excavation will lead to the reduction of benthos biomass, the species in the

riverway are all frequent species, and the impact is temporary; with the completion of

approach channel excavation, the bottom sediment is becoming stable, the survival

environment of benthos will be recovered. Therefore, the impact of approach channel

excavation to benthos is acceptable.

（3）Impact on fish

During the construction, the increase of sediment concentration and turbidity within a

scope caused by approach channel excavation and bottom sediment change caused by

washing will damage the habitats of plankton and benthos in the construction area to some

extent, and analyzing from the angle of food chain, will have certain influence to the fish

growth in the construction area. But from the previous analysis, we can see that the

impacts of approach channel excavation in this project are temporary and will not change

the ecological environment of plankton and benthos; therefore, reduction of fish baits

during the construction period has minor influence to fishery resources.

Due to water quality damage, the reduction of fish baits and other biomass for

plankton and benthos changes the survival, growth and reproduction conditions for the

fishes who will move to other places in another water area; so the fish intensity in the

construction area will significantly drop. The approach channel excavation will damage

the fish habitat in certain range and will also drive the fishes far away from the

construction site. But generally, the fishes in Shaying River are mainly grass carp and

other pollutant-resisting fishes, and there is no valuable or rare/protected varieties of fishes;

so the approach channel excavation has little impact to them and the impact is temporary;

they can always return to the original habitat after the completion of the construction.

In this survey, there is no wild fish of national priority protection, no fish spawning


107

site, feeding ground or wintering ground designated by fishery sector; therefore, this

project has no direct influence to spawning and reproduction of fishes.

5.2.4Agroecological Environmental Impact

（1）Land occupation’s impact on agroecological environmental

This project has 9.90hm2 of permanent land occupation, which is all used for

hydraulic structure; so there is no need to carry out cultivated land

requisition-compensation balance. The temporary land occupation is mainly spoil area

covering the area of 33.83hm2, which is currently cultivated land and will be used as

public greenbelt and construction land; this project will not occupy any farm land, and the

temporarily occupied land shall be leveled, afforested or ploughed after the completion. To

sum up, the temporary land occupation will temporarily make the absolute quantity of

cultivated land reduce, but will not change the land use structure in this area, and the

farming mode and climate conditions will not change; therefore, in general, it will not

have obvious influence to the local agriculture ecology.

（3） Impact on agricultural production

This project’s permanent land occupation does not include cultivated land; so there

will be no influence to agricultural production.

5.2.5 Rationality comprehensive analysis on spoil ground site selection

This assessment demonstrates the environmental rationality of spoil area from the

aspects of spoil area site selection principle, spoil volume, ambient environment and land

use master plan.

Spoil ground design. First, consider the construction soil demands of the towns of

Yingshang county, industrial parks of Yingshang county and Jiangxinzhou park, and try to

use the spoil to urban construction and reduce the land occupation area of the spoil area.

Second, consider the reinforcement of approach channel’s left embankment after the

completion of this project to digest some of the spoil. Third, set the temporary spoil area.

Spoil ground site selection. Using the engineering feasibility study organization unit

1:10000 topographic map and on-site findings, with the comprehensive analysis to

landform, land occupation type and rationality to allocate and transport earthwork to meet

waste disposal area demand, set 3 spoil areas, where No.1 and No.2 spoil areas are located

at the behind of right embankment approach channel, and No.3 spoil area is located at the


108

north side of Xin’gang sand yard of left embankment of Shaying River channel. See

Figure 3-12 for the position of the spoil area. See Table 5-1 for environment rationality on

spoil area site selection.

The spoil area shall be nearby the excavation area, which can avoid the

inconvenience and pollution of long-distance transportation. The site for spoil area shall

have convenient transportation for future re-use. The soil in spoil area will be covered by

the solid and bottom sediment excavated during the construction process, and the soil use

mode will be temporarily changed; after the completion of the engineering, the area will

be leveled and planted with grass, trees or landscaping. The land use mode will have

temporary or permanent change, so there will be no hazard to human health.

The machinery noise, residual water drainage and stink from bottom sediment during

the construction period of the spoil area might have influence to the residents nearby;

based on the survey results, the nearest residential area from the spoil area is 50m away;

therefore, the pollutants in the spoil area have little influence to the residential area.

The spoil area land is planned to be green land and general farmland, without

occupying basic farmland and basic farmland protection areas; therefore, the spoil area

site selection shall conform to the Master Plan of Yingshang County Town (2008-2030)

and Land Utilization Master Plan of Yingshang County (2006-2020).

No.1 and No.2 spoil areas are cultivated land which belong to the collective land

and their users are local farmers. During this land requisition, the users

will receive the compensation in accordance with the young crops compensation standards

of Fuyang City. After the completion of construction, the land will be

leveled, rehabilitated and return back to the local farmers. No.3 spoil area

is flood land which belongs to state-owned land. Due to the village plants

crops on the land now, they also will be compensated for the loss of crop

in accordance with the standards of the Fuyang City. After the

end of construction, the land will be leveled and green.

5.2.6Ecological protection preventive and restorating measures

In order to maintain the ecological balance and protect the biodiversity within the

region, we take ecological protection preventive and restorating measures in the

engineering zone. During the construction period, strengthen the ecological protection

publicity and education to the construction workers and management personnel to enhance

their ecological environment protection consciousness; during the construction process,

avoid wanton felling of trees and try to retain the original vegetation; the construction

workers are not allowed to catch frogs, snakes or birds to lighten the impact of

construction to local terrestrial organism and thus to reduce and eliminate the impact range

and extent to ecological environment. The destroyed vegetation shall be restored locally or

compensated non-locally to reduce the impact of the engineering to the ecological

environment.

This project is now in the stage of feasibility study, and it is advised to re-plough or

green the spoil area and other temporarily occupied lands, including temporary excavation

area, construction camps and mixing station after the completion of the engineering

according to their functions. The occupied cultivated land will be restored as cultivated

land; for the occupied green land, uncultivated land and mud flat shall be leveled after

removing and cleaning the wastes and temporary structures, and take full use of the spoil

to restore vegetation by planting trees and grass. In addition, in the construction period,

the constructor shall abide by the principle of “optimal land utilization” and occupy as less

land as possible.

5.3Evaluation of impact on environmental air

5.3.1Prediction of impact on environmental air in construction period

In the construction process, the primary impacts to environmental air include fugitive

dust and stink from the temporary excavation area.

Fugitive dust. The fugitive dust in this project mainly comes from foundation pit

excavation, stock yard exploitation, spoil stacking and vehicle transportation, and the main

pollutant is TSP. The pollution from fugitive dust in engineering to the environmental air

is temporary and local and will be gone after the completion of construction.

Sediment odor. There is polluted bottom sediment containing humic organism in the

excavation area, and when it is disturbed or stacked on the ground, there will be repugnant

substances (including ammonia and hydrogen sulfide) releasing in a non-organized


112

manner, which will influence the ambient environmental air quality. According to related

documents, the pollution of Shaying River’s bottom sediment is very small, and it rarely

stinks. The stink intensity is about level 1~2 with about 20m influence scope, and when

there is wind, the sphere of influence in downwind direction will be slightly greater.

According to the excavation area determined in project feasibility study research report

and field investigation, the residential areas nearby are all 50m away, and the stink from

the bottom sediment will not have obvious influence to the residents near this area.

5.3.2 Air control measures in construction period

（1） Dust pollution control measures

A. There shall be the enclosure not lower than 1.8m in the construction site, and

water the land area at any time to reduce pollution of fugitive dust and set muck collecting

enclosure in water area, and make sure that the muck will be moved away within three

days after the construction.

B. The earthwork transportation must use closed vehicles and set the facility to wash

vehicles at the entrance of the construction site to wash the vehicles when leaving the site

and not bring mud and sand out of the site. Water the earthwork road for transportation to

avoid fugitive dust.

C. Take effective measures in the construction site, including covering, solidification,

greening and watering. The fugitive dust from roads and in the construction site shall be

dealt with watering and cleaning mechanism, and it is required to equip one watering cart

in the construction site.

D. Cement and other easily fly-upward fine grain building materials shall be stored in

an enclosed manner, and the lime and sand in the construction site shall be collectively

stacked and covered.

E. The lime and inorganic materials shall be pre-mixed before mobilization, and the

machine shed with agitator in the construction site must be enclosed and equipped with

effect dust-fall and anti=dust devices.

F. If there is force 4 wind or above and other weathers. it is not allowed to carry out

earthwork backfill, transportation and other construction works might have the pollution

of fugitive dust.


113

G. The vegetation of temporarily occupied land shall be recovered to prevent water

and soil loss.

（2） Stink pollution control measures

A. During design, the selection of temporary spoil area shall avoid villages, and from

the aspect of site survey, the temporary spoil area is 50m or more away from villages,

which effectively avoids the influence of sediment odor to the residents nearby;

B. The dredging of approach channel shall be carried out in the low water season,

ideally winter; the smell of bottom sediment will does not easily diffuse, and it can reduce

the influence of stink to residents nearby. At the same time, carry out section construction,

timely transport the dredged bottom sediment to the spoil area, and timely carry out

ecological recovery treatment;

(3 )Miscellaneous

Try to select the vehicles with low energy consumption and low pollution emission,

and the constructor shall install tail gas clean-up devices for the vehicles with exhaust

emission out of limits. Strengthen the management and maintenance to machinery and

vehicles and reduce the air pollution caused by poor states of machinery and vehicles.

5.3.3 Prediction and measures of impact on environmental air in operation period

In operation period, the exhaust gas pollutants are mainly from the fuel oil exhaust

gas generated from the operation of marine power plant, including CO, NO2, SO2, in the

way of linear emission along the shipping lane; there are good air diffusion conditions in

the region, so the air environment quality will not degenerate. In the expansion project

area, the air environment quality in the operation period shall meet the requirements for

Class 2 area in Ambient air quality standard (GB3095-2012).

There are not so many working personnels in the ship lock Administrative Office,

where uses liquefied gas, a clean fuel, and has no boiler, producing less exhaust gas; it is

advised that the mess hall of the Administrative Office shall install smoke purifier.

5.4Water Environmental Impact Evaluation

5.4.1 Water pollution impact during construction period

5.4.1.1 Domestic sewage in construction camps

According to the engineering analysis in Chapter III, the discharge value of domestic


114

sewage during the construction period shall be 16~24m3/d. The main pollutants in

domestic sewage are COD and ammonia nitrogen; there is not so much domestic sewage

and the sewage discharge will not change the water functional category of Shaying River

surface water and have little impact to the water quality. But due to the the out of limits of

TN and TP in the water of Shaying River channel, it is advised to rent residences as

construction camps and set seepage-proofing latrine pits in the construction site, regularly

clean them, and strictly prohibit the random discharge of domestic sewage to improve the

water quality of Shaying River channel and reduce load. For construction site, collect the

other domestic sewage for watering and dust suppression. Besides, this project does not

involve any groundwater source field. Therefore, the domestic sewage produced in the

construction period of this project has small influence to the surface water nearby and little

influence to groundwater.

5.4.1.2Bridge construction’s impact on water environment

This project will retrofit the across-gate highway and spillway approach bridge. The

bridge dismantling waste residues are mainly bricks and concrete waste residues and

cannot be dumped at will; it is suggested to use them for the base course of construction

access road and administrative zone road. Use drilling cast-in-place pile for the

construction of bridge pier, and the reconstructed bridge during the construction period are

mainly in the dry land and there is no bridge pier in water, so drilling will not have

influence to the water quality of the river. However, the unbending discharge of boring

mud generated from foundation construction will occupy the Yingshang gate‘s spillway,

leading to the silting up of Shaying River and downstream channel of the construction site

in flood season; therefore, strictly prohibit to dump the mud to the channel or litter around

according to the provisions in the specifications of transport department and

environmental protection department. The boring mud, waste water and waste pulp

generated from the foundation construction of bridge in this project shall be subsided in

the settling pond and are strictly prohibited to be dumped to the channel or littered around

to avoid polluting the water body, elevate the riverbed or compress the cross-section of

river and silt up the channel; the stacking location shall be negotiated with the local water

conservation department and environmental protection department.

5.4.1.3Impact of suspended solids

The approach channel has some underwater dredging works, which use grab-type


115

dredger and berth. The grab-type dredger can cause the suspension and diffusion of local

water polluted bottom sediment; compared to other instances of channel underwater

dredging works, and the SS will have obvious increase in the water body within 100m

range; in general, the increment of SS concentration will be 80mg/L or above, and with the

range increasing, the influence will be gradually smaller; at 1km away from the

construction area, the SS concentration increment is as low as 4.13mg/L and the influence

of suspended sand is very little; with the completion of the construction, the influence will

be gone soon. Therefore, in the underwater dredging process in the construction period,

SS’s impact to the water quality of Shaying River is limited.

The hydraulic foundation engineering will use cofferdam and after the completion of

construction, the filled earth in the cofferdam, the waste soil after removing the bag

cofferdam and thick liquid and sludge during the construction shall be stacked on the spoil

ground in a collective manner; dumping in the water body is not allowed. The foundation

pit supporting uses cast-in-place pile for on-site masonry or pouring construction. In the

cofferdam, the production waste water and cast-in-place pile thick liquid mainly contain

high concentration of suspended matter SS and they shall be subsided in the settling pond

and then the sediment shall be transported and collectively stacked in the spoil ground.

5.4.1.4 Impact of petroleum:

The petroleum content in construction machinery and vehicle washing waste water.

The oily wastewater is directly discharged to the water body and forms a layer of oil film

on the surface, leading to the uneasiness to recover dissolved oxygen in the water and thus

influencing the water quality; the random discharge of oily wastewater will reduce the soil

fertility, change soil structure and go against the construction slash recovery.

Therefore, in order to prevent surface water pollution, it is suggested to set temporary

oil removal wastewater settling pond to collect the various oily wastewater in the

construction process; re-use the wastewater as a part of construction water after treating it.

The deep well construction pumped water is collected in a water collection and settling

pond and then discharged to the channel in two sides through the general trench. The

management to construction ships shall be strengthened to avoid or reduce bilge oil

leakage. The implementation of above measures can effectively avoid or relieve the

pollution to surface water.


116

5.4.1.5 Bottom sediment environmental impact analysis

The Shaying River bottom sediment environment current situation evaluation results

indicate that the contents of heavy metal pollutants in the bottom sediment of the working

area are all lower than the Grade 2 standard in Environmental quality standard for soils

(GB15618-1995). After being stacked and air dried, this part of bottom sediment can also

used in cultivated land or the construction of protection forest, and its heavy metal content

will not influence vegetation growth or human health. But the discharge of bottom

sediment leachate might contain a small trace of heavy metal, and its content is basically

in direct proportion to the heavy metal content in the bottom sediment at the begining of

leaching process; the heavy metal content of bottom sediment is low, so the heavy metal

content in leachate; therefore, the leachate has very little influence to ambient soil and

water body. Therefore, the single factor indexes of heavy metals in the Yingshang Ship

Lock channel bottom sediment are all low, and the heavy metal and leachate in the bottom

sediment shall not have significant influence to soil and groundwater.

5.4.1.6 Underwater earthwork residual water discharge’s impact analysis to water

environment

The approach channel excavation includes some underwater earthwork 53,980,000

m3, and the underwater part will use grab-type dredger for dredging construction and use

1m3 grab-type dredger to excavate, use 100t dredger pontoon to transport to temporary

wharf, use to load on excavator and transport to the spoil ground. The underwater

earthwork water content rate is high and according to related experience and documents,

the water content rate of grab-type dredger is about 65%. The drying process of the

underwater earthwork is designed to be: firstly, the underwater earthwork (water content

rate 65%) in the dredger pontoon shall be subsided on the dredger pontoon till the mud

and water have obvious separation; then directly drain the subsided water to the river

when the water content rate of the sediments are about 45%; then use excavator to load the

sediments to dump truck and transport to spoil ground, where they are naturally subsided

and evaporated; the collected residual water will be drained to collecting basin via the

preset ditch. In general, the water content rate of soil is 15%, the residual water quantity

can be produced in the spoil area based on calculations is 347,000m3.

The residual water quantity needs to be discharged in spoil area is 347,000m3. At the

early spoil stage, 90% of residual water has good water quality and about 10% of residual


117

water at later stage will be worse.

Set drainage ditch and settling pond in the spoil area. In addition, use gate chamber

type drainage exit for manual control of drainage rate and slurry concentration.

Due to the pollution of heavy metal, nitrogen and phosphorus to the Shaying River

bottom sediment is rather light, and the main pollutant in the residual water is suspended

matter; most of the suspended matter in residual water can be removed after natural

sediment and the settling pond, and the residual water subsided on ships can be directly

discharged into Ying River. If the subsiding time is not sufficient or the construction is

improper, it might cause the out of limits of suspended matter concentration; during the

construction process, it shall be strictly managed to allow the directly drained residual

water up to standard. The residual water subsided and collected in the spoil area can be

used for construction road spraying after gathered in the ditch.

At the later spoil stage, about 10% of residual water has out-of-limits SS value. The

residual water gone bad at later stage shall be calculated at 10%, which is about 34,700m3,

the excavation construction is usually arranged at the dry season; if the excavation project

duration is 100 days, the daily discharged quantity of residual water with poor water

quality is about 300m3. It can be naturally evaporated till there is only dry mud.

5.4.1.7Impact of removal of downstream approach channel breasting dolphin on

water environment

During the construction period, the existing breasting dolphin in the southeast side of

the downstream approach channel needs to be removed, and the removal of the concrete

structure will cause the temporary increase of SS content in the approach channel water;

therefore, in order to reduce the impact, the removal shall be arranged in dry season in a

safe construction mode; the removed cement blocks shall be timely cleared from the

approach channel to avoid accumulation in approach channel.

5.4.2Environmental protection measures in the construction period

The sewage during the engineering construction mainly comes from the gravel

washing wastewater, construction machinery, vehicle washing wastewater and

construction period domestic sewage. You need to take measures to the above wastewater

to prevent the pollution of construction wastewater and domestic sewage to waters nearby.

1） Treatment of domestic sewage

The water pollutants in the domestic sewage produced in construction period are

mainly COD, BOD5, ammonia nitrogen and fecal coliform. It is advised to rent residences

as construction camps and set seepage-proofing latrine pits in the construction site,

regularly clean them, and strictly prohibit the random discharge of domestic sewage; other

domestic sewage shall be used for site watering.

2） Gravel washing wastewater

Due to the drainage of gravel washing water in building construction is not

discontinuous and the suspended matter content is high, this project uses the batch-type

plain sedimentation to remove the grains of sand that are easily subsided. It requires to set

one settling pond with dimension of 10m×4m×2m; and the pond body and inlet/outlet uses

brick masonry lining. After well treated, the wastewater will be used for construction road

watering or be drained outside; and the waste slag will be transported to the spoil ground.

3） Treatment of construction machinery and vehicle overhaul washing wastewater

The main pollutants of construction machinery and vehicle overhaul washing

wastewater are petroleum. Set collecting gutter in the construction machinery maintenance

area to collect the troubleshooting and washing wastewater, and set oil separator to treat


119

the oily wastewater. The construction machinery and vehicle overhaul washing wastewater

up to standard after treatment can be drained to the flood land nearby.

4） Foundation pit wastewater

The foundation pit drainage shall meet the up-to-standard drainage requirements. The

suspended matter in foundation pit wastewater is generally 2000mg/L, and the wastewater

will be sit for about 2 hours after collected to drainage sump from drainage open trench;

then the suspended matter concentration can be lowered to 150mg/L or less, and what you

have to do is to drain it out.

Residual water

Due to the contents of heavy metal, N and P in the Shaying River bottom sediment

are rather light, and the main pollutant in the residual water is suspended matters; most of

them can be removed after natural sediment. The residual water removing process starts

with standing in dredger pontoon for removal of about 20% of residual water; second, the

subsided water quantity is about 312,300 m3 at the early spoil stage in the spoil area, set

settling pond to collect residual water, and the daily residual water production quantity is

3132m3, calculated at 100 days of excavation project duration; the settling time is 3 hours

and it requires 390m3 of capacity; set 1 settling pond with capacity of 480m

3 in 2# and 3#

spoil areas with dimensions of 16m×10m×3m, considering any emergency. At the later

spoil stage, about 10% of residual water has out-of-limits SS value; the water quantity is

about 34,700m3, and the daily drained poor residual water quantity everyday is about

300m3. It can be naturally evaporated till there is only dry mud.

5.4.3Water pollution impact and protection measures during operation period

The pollution in the operation period is mainly the domestic contamination caused by

the ship lock working personnel and ship working personnel during the operation period

and the oil pollution produced by the ships, and the main pollution factors are COD,

NH3-N and petroleum.

According to Chapter III, engineering analysis, the new domestic sewage output,

COD output and NH3-N output of ship lock Administrative Office in every year are

respectively 980t/a, 0.294t/a and 0.039t/a. Due to out-of-limits of TN and TP in Shaying

River channel, the domestic sewage must be used for greening of the station after the

treatment of bury-type integrated domestic sewage treatment devices. In addition, the


120

sewage treatment factory in Yingshang county has been built, so it is advised to closely

focus on Yingshang sewage pipe network; once the sewage drained by Administrative

Office can be incorporated into the urban pipe network, it shall be switched in this system.

The domestic sewage discharge value of lockage vessels shall be 1.5m3/d, and the

discharge of vessel domestic sewage shall meet the requirements in Vessel Pollutant

Discharge Standard Requirements. The evaluation region, the primary function of water

body in the Shaying River section is transportation and irrigation; there is no integrated

drinking water intake and the up to standard discharged domestic sewage water quantity is

small; therefore, it has small influence to Shaying River water body environment.

According to the requirements of navigation administrative department, the vessels

are not allowed to drain bilge oily water to the water body during the lockage period.

Therefore, the normal passing process of lockage vessels has no oil contamination

influence to the water body.

5.4.4 Coordination analysis of water use in operation period

According to Anhui Province Water Environment Function Division, the current

situation of Shaying River section in this project water function division is the agricultural

water region of Yingshang county, Fuyang and will be slated for industrial water.

According to Yingshang Gate Method of Dispatch and Use (2013), the normal storage

level of Yingshang gate is 24.0~24.5m (ancient Yellow River Elevation System), the

normal storage level can be turned up in the dry season and peak period. According to

2011 National Water Resources Census (Yingshang county) data, the total agricultural

water of Shaying River of Huaihe River drainage basin in 2011 is 212,000,000 m3, which

occupies 5.17% of 4,100,000,000 m3 of annual average volume of runoff. After the

completion of this project, the ship lock water consumption in operation period will

influence irrigation water. In particular, there is conflict between check gate catchwork

irrigation and ship lock operation water consumption in dry season. It is advised that in

special years, the Yingshang 2nd waterway ship lock operation department shall obey the

unified schedule of flood control and drought relief departments, timely close the gate,

inform the boat people in an effective way in advance, and strengthen the propaganda.

5.5 Acoustic Environmental Impact Evaluation

5.5.1 Acoustic environment in construction period

5.5.1 .1 Construction machinery noise impact

According to characteristics, size, site layout and construction mechanical equipment

selection of the project, the noisesgenerated in the construction activities of this project

mainly include construction material processing and construction machinery noise.

According to the engineering field monitoring in similar engineering, and see Table 5-2

for construction machinery noise; the sound level of primary construction machinery high

noise sound level equipment is 80~100dB(A).

1、Prediction mode

The machinery noise in construction period can be treated based on point acoustic

source; estimate the noise values in different distances from the acoustic source according

to sound attenuation degeneration modes of point acoustic source and synthetic acoustic

source; calculate the noise predicted value of sensitive spots at different distances from the

acoustic source by superimposing the noises and background values.

2、 Prediction outcomes

According to the site layout and construction arrangement, taking the unfavorable

situation into consideration, select the excavator, bulldozer, motor lorry and other

construction machineries with greater noise, and concrete mixing station and steel & wood

processing factory as noise source.

（1）See Table 5-3 for the prediction of the noise contribution values of different distances from

the point acoustic sources.

（2）Predict the noise contribution values of different distances from superimposed acoutic

sources of multiple construction machineries.

The construction machineries of this project are mainly the excavators and

transportation vehicles used in earth excavation, excavator used in gate chamber

earthwork backfill, bulldozer and rammer compactor, concrete mixing station and steel &

wood processing factory used in the gate chamber structural works. There is a wide range

of construction machineries, there are different construction machineries in different

stages, and the quantity of construction machinery varies in a same construction phase,


123

which decides the randomness and disorder of construction noise. Take the construction

noise complexity, characteristics of region and stage of construction noise impact, and

then the construction site elevation difference impact into consideration. In this evaluation,

mainly analyze the situation that uses the fixed acoustic sources: Concrete mixing station

and steel & wood processing factory (in temporarily built house) in the ship lock structure

construction with great impact under unfavorable situation, and calculate the superimpose

noise sources of multiple construction machineries to the noise contribution values of

different distances (see Table 5-4) for the construction unit to take appropriate noise

pollution prevention and treatment measures based on the actual situation during the

construction.

（3）Predict the impact to sensitive spots from superimposed acoustic sources of multiple

construction machineries.

In calculating the impact of superimposition of construction machinery to acoustic

environment sensitive spot in the construction area, the relative distance refers to the

minimum distance from sensitive spot boundary to construction layout area boundary; in

this evaluation, use the minimum distance from sensitive spot boundary to construction

layout area boundary to replace the distance from sensitive spot to acoustic point. See

Table 5-5 for the sensitive spot acoustic environment predicted value.

3、Analysis on prediction outcomes

The construction area of this project is located at the right side levee of Ying River,

180m away from the approach channel right boundary, and the construction field’s

boundary is the expanded project land requisition scope. According to Emission Standard

of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), the noise limit

in day time is 70dB and 55dB in night time. From the predicting outcomes:

（1）Day time construction machineries, such as excavator, bulldozer, motor lorry,

concrete mixing station, the respective single noise can be up to standard in 31m at the

farthest extent, and in 175m in night time; after the superimposition of the construction

machineries, the up to standard distance in day time is 32m and up to standard distance in

night time is 180m.

（2）The steel & wood processing factory acoustic source grade reaches 100dB (A),


124

which is up to standard at 160m in day time, and 900m in night night; therefore, the

acoustic source of steel & wood processing factory meets the requirements in

GB12523-2011 in day time and exceeds the standard in night time. Due to the noise

source intensity in the steel & wood processing factory is high, in the project construction

organization design, the steel & wood processing factory shall be set in a temporary house

for noise reduction; the lowest noise reduction of temporary house is 15dB(A), thus the

steel & wood processing factory can be fully up to standard in day time and at 281m in

night time. The night-time construction will have bad influence to the residents nearby.

（3）You can see the impact of superimposition of construction machineries to

acoustic environment sensitive spots of the construction area from Table 5-5; from the

acoustic source superimposition prediction of steel & wood processing factory and

concrete mixing station, we can see that the noise value of 8 prediction points is

44.5~58.6dB (A) in day time and 39.2~54.0dB(A) in night time, and the construction

machinery noise contribution value is 29.3~53.5dB(A). The sensitive spots are up to

standard in day time and out of limits in night time; the out-of-limits quantity is

1.6~4.0dB(A); the out-of-limits prediction points are Jiangxinzhou Community - new

district (M1), Jiangxinzhou Community - Xinhe bridge northward (M2), Jiangxinzhou

Community - bridge southward I (M3) and ship lock Administrative Office neighborhood

(M8).

（4）The ship lock engineering construction might have some influence to the

ambient environment sensitive spots and occasionally make the acoustic environment out

of limits. But these noise sources are temporary in construction period, and only have

impact to local environment in a short term, and these impacts will be gone after the

completion of construction.

5.5.1 .2The spoil transport route noise impact

1、 Prediction contents

The spoil in this project is mainly the excavation earthwork, the spoil area is set in

the left bank of Shaying River and east side of approach channel right bank, and there are

two existing routes for transportation; route 1: Ying River right bank access road - S102

highway bridge - approach channel left bank road - 1# spoil area, and the primary

sensitive spot involved in the route is Jiangxinzhou Community - Xinhe village; route 2:

upstream approach channel underwater earthwork - check gate highway bridge - Ying


125

River left bank (downstream) embankment - 3# spoil area, and the two sensitive spots

under influence are Zhan’gang Elementary School and Chen Tun. in addition, 2# spoil

area is mainly used for the downstream approach channel underwater earthwork

excavation spoil, and use ships to transport the spoil to temporary wharf and then use

automobile to transport to 2# spoil area. This evaluation mainly analyzes transportation

route 1 and transportation route 2. See Figure 3-12 for transportation route map.

2、 Prediction model

According to traffic flow and Technical Guidelines for Noise Impact Assessment -

Acoustic Environment (HJ2.4-2009), use highway traffic noise level calculation model

based on traffic volume (in different sections); the oversize vehicle model ratio is 1 and

the day/night ratio is 1.

3、 Prediction outcomes

From Table 5-7, we know that in day time of the construction period, the traffic noise

contribution value on the sensitive spots in both sides of transportation routes is

54.4~60.2dB(A), and the noise predicted value is 54.7~60.7dB(A). It is predicted that in

the transportation route 1 (2) time frame, the noise at Xinhe Village - south of bridge I

(M3) is 0.7dB(A) out of limits and other sensitive spots are all predicted to be up to

standard.

5.5.2 Acoustic environment protection measures in construction period

During the construction period, the service time of equipment making noises shall be

strictly managed and controlled, and high noise equipment shall not be allowed to use in

nigh time; at the same time, you shall select the locations and directions to place the

equipment, pay attention to use natural conditions and buildings (structures) to reduce

noises, and make the impact of noises in the construction period to the minimum.

First, use low noise equipment as far as possible, for example, use hydraulic

machinery instead of fuel machinery, and use high-frequency vibrorammer; for the

fastening mechanical equipment, excavation and earth moving machinery, such as

excavator and bulldozer, you can reduce the noise by exhaust pipe silencer and isolation of

motor vibration parts. Carry out regular maintenance and repair to the power mechanical

equipment. Timely close the unused equipment, and the transport vehicles shall slow down

when they are getting into the site and try not to honk their horns.

Draw up scientific construction plan and reasonably arrange the construction time,

and try to avoid using many high-noise equipment together; in addition, the construction

time of high-noise equipment (such as excavator and agitator) shall be arranged in day

time instead of night time (22：00~06：00). Due to the engineering requires night-time

construction, the building unit and construction unit must file an application to the

Yingshang Environmental Protection Agency and inform the residents nearby by posting a

notice and let them take precautionary measures. The evaluation requires the constructor

to strengthen environmental management and supervises and urges the constructor to

strengthen equipment management and control construction time according to Emission

Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011).

（3）Operate the mechanical equipment as specified and abide by the operating

rules during the process of baffle and bracket disassembly; reduce the collision noise in

loading and unloading the materials.

（4）The steel & wood processing factory of construction site shall be set in

temporary house and processing in night time is not allowed. The agitator and fixed

concrete delivery pump shall be set in the side away from the residential area to reduce

noise pollution.

（5）During the spoil transport process, reasonably arrange the construction time

and avoid night-time transportation of spoil; vehicles shall slow down in passing by the


131

residential area, honking the horns at will are not allowed, and try to reduce the influence

to their life. In addition, carry out construction period monitoring to the transportation

route 1 (2) section, Xinhe Village - South of bridge (M3), and when necessary, set sound

proof window to the first row of about 20 households and 6m2 to reduce the noise

influence to the residents.

（6）The building unit shall pacify the residents nearby together with the

construction unit, announce their construction timescale, and establish good community

relationship with the companies and residents along the routes. In addition, they shall set

complaint hot line during the construction period for the complaints about noises from the

residents, and actively handle the complaints.

5.5.3 Noise impact in operation period

The acoustic sources during the operation period are mainly ship navigation noise,

ship engine noise and ship whistle noise. The ships have low speed during navigation and

generate small noises, which are flowing acoustic source. The power-driven vessels use

diesel engine, and the engine has large noise, so the engine noise during the operation

period (including gas discharge sound) is the primary acoustic source in approach channel

operation period. Other noise sources also include ship whistle, which can be effectively

controlled via strengthened management, so we mainly evaluated the approach channel

ship noise impact during operation period.

According to Environmental Impact Assessment Specifications for Inland Waterway

Project (JTJ227-2001), the ship navigation noise radiation sound level shall be calculated

based on:

（Lp)i=(Lw)i+10lg(Ni/ViT)+10lg(D0/D）1+α-13

For the (Lw)i value of ship, consider that most of the ships in the approach channel

and gate are power- driven ships, use diesel engine as power, and the speeds of lockage

ships are rather low (take 10km/h here). So the engine noise during the operation period

(including gas discharge sound) is the primary acoustic source in approach channel

operation period. This evaluation looks into noise related materials, and see Table 5-8 for

the noise source intensity (at the location of 15m) of ships of different powers.

First, when the cabin door is open, predict the lockage condition to 1000t ship; and

see Table 5-9 for the noise sound levels of the noise sensitive spots of the lockage ship

According to the prediction results (Table 5-9), when the cabin door is open, the

noise values of 8 prediction points in day time are 51.9~59.0dB(A), and 49.4~53.1dB(A)

in night time, and the ship traffic noise contribution values are 46.4~51.7dB(A). The noise

increment is 0.4~8.6dB(A) in day time and 1.5~18.9dB(A) in night time. The 8

predictions points can meet the requirements in GB12348-2008 in day time and 7 of them

are out of limits in night time with 0.6~3.1dB(A) above the standards.

Second, the cabin doors are usually closed during navigation, so predict based on

closed cabin door and 1000t ship lockage condition; see Table 5-10 for the prediction

outcomes.

According to prediction outcomes (Table 5-10), the 8 predictions points can meet the

requirements in GB12348-2008 in day time and 1 of them is out of limits in night time.

The noise values of 8 prediction points in day time are 46.3~58.7dB(A), and

43.2~50.6dB(A) in night time; the ship traffic noise contribution values are

38.3~43.6dB(A), noise increments are 0.1~2.9dB(A) in day time and 0.3~11.1dB(A) in

night time. The night-time out-of-limits quantity for ship lock Administrative Office

neighborhood (M8) is 0.6dB(A), and the predicted noise increment is 0.3dB(A), mainly

because of the influence from S102 traffic noise.

By comparing Table 5-9 with Table 5-10, we can know that only 1 of 8 prediction

points is out of limits in night time after the cabin door is closed; closing of cabin door can

make ship noises’ impact to the sensitive spot in the day time reduce by 5.7dB(A) to a

maximum extent, and 7.8dB(A) in night time; during the navigation, closing of cabin door

has significant noise reducing effect, so we advise the building unit and ship lock

Administrative department to strengthen management and close the ship cabin during

lockage and navigation to reduce the impact of ship noises to ambient environment.

5.5.4Noise control measures in operation period

(1) The ship cabin door must be closed when the ship is navigating in the approach

channel and on lockage and the ship shall pass slowly.

(2) According to the noise prediction outcomes in operation period, after the cabin


134

door is closed, only the ship lock Administrative Office neighborhood (M8) among 8

prediction points is 0.6dB(A) above the standard in night time. It is advised to carry out

follow-up monitoring to the ship lock Administrative Office neighborhood (M8) in the

operation period; when necessary, install ventilation sound proof windows (the noise

reduction effect of general ventilation sound proof window is 25~30dB(A)) to 7

households of the first row in the sensitive spot; 6m2 for each household and 42m2 at total,

you shall have 42,000 Yuan of budget for noise environmental protection fee.

(3) Advise the building unit and ship lock Administrative Office to strengthen the

management and use sound devices as specified in ship safe navigation provisions; do not

honk whistles at will and forbid any whistle in night time to reduce the impact of ship

noises to ambient environment. Weed out the ship type that does not conform to

environmental protection standard requirements. The ships in operation must be installed

with qualified gas discharge silencer to control the noises. Make sure the green coverage

ratio in the ship lock area and both sides of approach channel will meet the environmental

protection requirements, and plant trees on the ship lock Administrative Office and both

sides of approach channel to reduce the noises.

(4) After the Yingshang 2nd waterway ship lock is built, they will use LED screen

instead of radio to play lockage safety regulations. If you need to use the radio in special

circumstance, the radio frequency of use shall be controlled and it is not allowed to use

radio in night time.

5.6 Analysis and control measures on solid waste pollution

5.6 .1 Construction period

The solid waste generated in the construction will be stacked on the spoil area. Via

settling of the slurry and drilling cuttings and strengthening of management to

construction process environment, you can effectively avoid or mitigate the adverse

influence to surface water body and quality.

After the completion of this engineering, remove the temporary facilities in the

construction area, timely clean the concrete mixing system, construction machinery

parking lot, dimension stone charge make-up area, comprehensive warehouse and

office/living quarter, get rid of construction garbages and sundries, clean and level the

household garbages, outdoor toilets and sewage pit, use quick lime to disinfect and do the

construction slash recovery right.

The construction contractor shall arrange someone to collect the production waste,

the scrap iron, scrap steel, and waste wood pieces shall be stacked in specified positions

instead of leaving around; the waste materials shall be recycled and treated together.

During the transportation of household garbage and building materials, they shall be

enclosed or covered to avoid fall-off of garbage, sand or soil.

The total household garbages generated by the construction workers during the

construction period are expected to be 180t; you need to set trash cans in the construction

camps and arrange specially-assigned persons to clean and transport the household

garbages. The trash cans need to be sprayed with miehailin aerosol and other liquid to

prevent and treat the breed of flies and other infectious vectors. The household garbages

shall be collected and transported by the local sanitation department in a timely manner.

5.6 .2Operation period

The solid wastes in the operation period are mostly the household garbages generated

by the ship lock management personnel and workers on the ships. Calculated by

1.0kg/person · day for the output of household garbage, the 28 new working personnels on

the ship lock will produce 9800kg/a garbage. The household garbages in the operation

period shall be handed over to the local sanitation department for transportation and

treatment after the collection.


141

For the household garbage generated by the ship workers, the ships shall be equipped

with waste storage containers that have lid, do not leak or spill, or bag the garbages;

classify, collect and keep the garbages to meet the need of storing ship garbages during the

navigation. Use of nondegradable disposable foamed plastic tableware is not allowed.

5.7Analysis on impact of engineering construction to flood prevention

According to the Flood Control Evaluation Report for Yingshang 2nd

Ship Lock

Engineering of Shaying River Channel compiled by Anhui Survey and Design Institute of

Water Conservancy and Hydropower, the Yingshang second ship lock engineering has no

adverse impact to the flood prevention of the existing channel and close regions, and the

implementation of this project conforms to related industrial plan; the designed flood

prevention standards and construction river diversion standards meet the specified

requirements, and the engineering construction basically has no impact to the flood

discharge capacity of Ying River and will not influence the river regime of the channel;

after taking engineering measures, it will not have influence to the channel flood discharge

safety nor impact the flood fighting; all in all, the engineering generally meets the flood

prevention safety requirements.

5.8Analysis on impact of ship navigation safety

According to the Demonstration Report on Impacts on the Navigational Safety of the

Shaying River Yingshang 2nd

Ship Lock Project compiled by Anhui Haida Haishi

Consulting Services Co., Ltd., the Yingshang second ship lock engineering adapts to the

ambient water body ship navigation environment. According to the scheme put forward in

the Yingshang second ship lock engineering feasibility study report, the second ship lock

dimension is 200×23×4m (length × width × threshold water depth), and it is set between

the single waterway ship lock and check gate with 62m of distance; the corresponding

general layout conforms to related specifications and it is feasible. You can carry out the

next step of work and try to start the engineering as soon as possible based on the second

ship lock engineering feasibility study report and the basic construction procedures. After

the completion of ship lock, the traffic organizing in operation period is the key and

difficult points of ship lock navigation safety. Especially in high water level period, the

second ship lock has certain risk in ship navigation safety. But, with the efforts of many

parties and implementation of safety measures, the risk can be effectively prevented and

controlled.

Anhui local marine bureau gives replies about the ship navigation safety impact


142

demonstration report, which theoretically agrees the report conclusion and expert review

comments. You shall also carry out the navigation marks, safety warning signs and safety

regulatory facilities matching this project.

6 Risk Analysis

6.1 Pollution Source of Dangerous Chemicals

For water transportation, of all pollution incidents, leak of dangerous chemical due to

the collision of the vessels carrying chemicals will have the severest impact over the

environment. In case any accident occurs to a vessel during its sailing in the channel, the

maritime authority of Fuyang will launch its contingency plan. Large rescue and salvage

ships and devices have been provided in the emergency system of Fuyang Maritime Safety

Administration. For accident handling and rescue on the channel, the maritime authority

will play a major role.

This assessment will focus on the leak of dangerous goods due to collision of ships in

an approach channel or a lock chamber, or the leak of dangerous goods due to the fault of

a ship carrying dangerous goods.

According to the statistics of the goods passing the Yingshang Ship Lock, the goods

are mainly coal, ore, building materials, grain, chemical fertilizer and a few chemicals.

Among other things, the chemicals are mainly urea, compound fertilizer, methanol and

hydrogen peroxide produced by Linquan Chemical Base in the hinterland by the Shaying

River. Such chemical products are normally transported to the Huai He River channel

through the Cihuaixin River downstream of Jieshou. Only when the Cihuaixin River is not

available for navigation, such chemical products enter the Huai He River through the

Yingshang Ship Lock. According to the forecast of shipment volume during the operation

of the 2nd waterway ship lock, total 305t cargoes of chemical materials and products will

pass the lock in 2020, the number will be 395t in 2030, and 580t in 2050.

According to the existing goods types and forecast of transportation in feasibility

study, the chemical materials transported by this channel are mainly methanol, urea,

synthesis ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.

6.2 Accident Rate

The 2nd

waterway ship lock will expand the navigation capacity of the Yingshang

Ship Lock; besides, the channel improvement of the Shaying River is being implemented,

when the harnessing is completed, the river course will be improved and more ships will

be attracted to the Yingshang Ship Lock. Such accidents as ship collision or shipwreck

may occur in the channel occasionally. Investigation indicates that no ship collision or


149

dangerous chemical leak has occurred since the Yingshang Ship Lock is open to

navigation.

According to the statistics of the Yingshang Ship Lock, collision and shipwreck in the

approach channel or the lock chamber belong to small probability events; but according to

the principle of the Probability Theory, small probability events are possible. In case of

such adverse events as leak of dangerous chemicals due to ship collision, they will have

serous destructive influence over the waters, fish might be killed or other creatures are

poisoned.

6.2.1 Influence over Aquatic Ecology and Fishery Resources

In case of chemical leak due to ship collision, the influence on the aquatic ecology of

the Ying River will be multi-dimensional.

Fish feed is the foundation of all fishery waters and the precondition for the survival

of all aquatic lives in the drainage basin of the Ying River. Plankton with poor mobility

will be the first to be affected, chemical substances are toxic and harmful for them;

plankton is the producer in the aquatic life community, and the biological basis for the

feed in the waters, so chemical substances will influence other creatures as feed through

the plankton.

Besides, chemical substances are highly toxic to young fish and larva fish, in

particular, the floating fish eggs. fish eggs and larva fishes may be poisoned by high

concentration chemical substances soon; the feeding and breeding of fish may be disturbed

exposure to long-term low-concentration sub-acute toxicity; and the toxicity will vary as

the constituents of chemical substances differ.

6.2.2 Influence over Water Quality

The site investigation and the consultation with relevant authorities find there is no

potable water intake on the Shaying River channel where the Yingshang Ship Lock is

located. However, leak of chemicals may have influence over the water in the channel.

The influence of the leak of soluble chemicals is decided by the leakage amount and the

speed in handling with the accident. Minor leakage, speeded response and rapid control

measures may minimize or eliminate the influence over the water quality. So management

must be strengthened. Precautions shall be put into practice. A contingency plan shall be

formulated to minimize the hazard of the accident to the water environment. Both

prevention and rescue shall be highlighted.


150

6.3 Precautions Against Risks

6.3.1 Safety in Navigation, Anchorage and Lockage

Safety and pollution prevention measures shall be taken for the ships carrying

flammable, explosive, corrosive, hazardous or radioactive goods. Specified signs shall be

displayed, the provisions in the Regulations Governing the Supervision and Control of

Vessels Carrying Dangerous Goods and the Regulation on Inland Waters Transportation

Safety Management of the People’s Republic of China by the Ministry of Transport of the

People’s Republic of China shall be followed.

Any ship passing the lock shall subject to the general direction and dispatching by the

lock management authority and relevant provisions on navigation safety shall be followed.

Forecast, early warning and protection shall be provided in the days wifth frost, thick fog

or gale. A ship carrying dangerous goods can only pass the lock only the names, properties,

packages, pollution classes, precautions and emergency measures for the dangerous goods

are reported to and approved by the ship lock management authority. The ship lock

management authority shall arrange a ship carrying dangerous goods to anchor and pass

the lock separately.

During a flood control period, ships shall be subject to the general arrangement by

the flood-control headquarters; safety measures and equipment protection measures for

flood control shall be taken.

6.3.2 Accident Emergency Measures

To address unexpected pollution incidents, strengthen emergency handling and

minimize the hazard of pollution, according to the Environmental Protection Law of the

People's Republic of China, the Regulation on the Safety Management of Hazardous

Chemicals, the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Administration of

Traffic Safety in Inland Waters by the State Council, the Measures for the Information

Report of Environmental Emergencies (For Trial Implementation) by the State

Environmental Protection Administration, the Provisions of the People's Republic of

China on the Prevention and Control of Vessel Pollution of the Inland Water Environment

by the Ministry of Communications, a contingency plan against dangerous chemical

accidents shall be formulated.

（1）To ensure that help can be received in case of emergency in the project zone, the


151

administration office shall prepare a contingency plan against accidents; once emergency

occurs, it shall timely report local government, the Maritime Safety Administration and the

EPA of Fuyang, actively organize emergency actions, timely salvage and rescue sunk

articles, to ensure the waters environment is safe and the ship lock is unobstructed.

The chemical materials transported by this channel are mainly methanol, urea and

synthesis ammonia. Investigation finds that all of such raw materials are held in sealed

containers; after shipwreck, leak is unlikely to occur, but timely salvaging is required to

prevent them from being flushed away. In case of leak, an accident affected zone is

divided, the neighboring inhabitants are informed that the water in the Shaying River may

not be used; after the accident is dealt with, the inhabitants will be notified again.

（2） Emergency facilities for accidental spill

At present, large rescue and salvage ships and devices have been provided in the

emergency system of Fuyang Maritime Safety Administration. For accident handling and

rescue on the channel, the maritime authority will play a major role. The project company

shall shall cooperate with Fuyang Maritime Safety Administration in the equipment

system, formulate a cooperation plan to facilitate allocation of emergency teams and

devices.

For the accident occurring on the approach channel, the operator shall provide

necessary emergency rescue devices and instruments at the Yingshang Ship Lock

Administration Office to facilitate emergency help. They mainly include emergency

vehicles for protection and handling, antidotes, solid and liquid substance cleaning and

recovering devices, rubber plugs and sandbags; the emergency devices to be provided for

this project are listed in Table 6-1.

for temporary works, 764,300 Yuan as separate expenses (including 53,400 Yuan of water

and soil conservation supervision expenses, 208,600 Yuan of water and soil conservation

monitoring expenses), 135,900 Yuan of basic preparation expenses, 249,600 Yuan of water

and soil conservation facility compensations

After the measures of water and soil conservation are taken: The percentage of


158

regulation of disturbed land regulation reaches 99.1%; the total harnessing rate of water

and soil losses attains 99.0%; the dreg retaining rate, 97%; the control ratio of water and

soil losses, 1.0; the restorable factor of vegetation, 97.%; vegetation coverage rate, 15.5%.

As most of the principal part of this project is occupied by buildings, the spoil zone covers

a large area of the temporary field, and the percentage amount to 67.3% of the total area;

and all are cultivated land; in the later stage, land is regulated; so the vegetation coverage

rate cannot meet the required value of 22%; all other indexes can meet the water and soil

conservation acceptance requirements.

10.2 Status Quo of Environment Quality

10.2.1Status Quo of Environmental Quality

Pollution index of SO2, NO2, PM10 and TSP in the air within the project appraisal

area is below 1; air quality of the area conforms to Class II of GB3095-1996 Ambient Air

Quality Standard. Air of this area is good.

10.2.2 Status Quo of Environmental Quality of Water

Surface water environment: monitoring factors of pH, DO, petroleum and fecal

coliform in all sections conform to Class IV requirement of Environmental Quality

Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002); SS conforms to standard limit values for

drought-enduring plants in Standards for Irrigation Water Quality (GB5084-2005); total

nitrogen content and total phosphorous content in the three monitoring sections exceed

limit value; superstandard multiple of total nitrogen and total phosphorous is 3.05 and

0.62.

Environmental Quality of Groundwater: all index of water at monitoring spots of

down stream approach channel conform Class III requirements of Underground Water

Quality Standard (GB/T14848-93) and many index have reached Class I standard.

Environmental quality of underground water near the approach channel is good.

10.2.3 Status Quo of Environmental Quality of Sound

Based on noise monitoring result, noise status collected at 1#, 2# and 3# monitoring

spots on April 26 and 27 of 2013 conforms to Class II requirements in Environmental

Quality Standards for Sound (GB3096-2008), but the noise level at 4# monitoring spot in

the evening was over high, namely 3.8 to 2.4dB(A). Travelling tractors on the bridge

mainly contributed to the over high noise.


186

10.2.4 Environmental Quality of Sediment

Content of heavy metal pollutants in sediment of Shaying River is lower than Class II

standard in Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618-1995). Such sediment

can be used for farmland or shelterbelts after it is naturally dried in the dump site. Heavy

metals in such sediment will not harm plant growth or the human.

10.2.5 Investigation and Evaluation of Ecological Environment

Located within farming area, the expansion project has good artificial vegetation on

its site and there was no national or provincial level protected rare wild animals and plants;

soils in the region are mainly black soil mortar and fluvo-aquic soil; soil erosion mainly

caused by water and the degree and extent of erosion is minor。

10.2.6 Water and Soil Loss

According to Standard for Classification of Soil Erosion, the project site belongs to

northern earth-rocky mountainous area, and its soil erosion is mainly caused by water,

reflected major in surface erosion and minor in ditch erosion. Maximum permissible value

for soil erosion in this area is 200t/km2·a. The responsible entity made an investigation on

background values of the soil erosion in the project region. The project region has

considerable crops and few arbors on it, and the soil of this region has weak erosion and a

soil erosion modulus of 200t/km2·a or so. By on-site survey and learning from local

departments, it is believed that the soil erosion modulus is basically consistent with given

value.

10.3Prediction and Assessment of Environmental Impact

10.3.1 Social Environment

Traffic disruption during construction would adversely affect passage of vehicles and

pedestrians. Focus on constructors’ health and access of constructors from other places

should be highlighted to prevent possible social security problems. The impacts will not

last long and they will disappear once the construction period ends. However, the

construction units should intensify their efforts to minimize the inconvenience to traffic;

education on constructors and publicity on construction process should be carried out well,

thus to let people around the project site know more about the project and the constructors.

All in all, the project construction will not leave an enduring major impact on local

farmers’ life quality.


187

10.3.2 Ecological Environment

The construction site belongs to rainfed agro-ecological function zone within the

plains in the North of Huai River. Lands covered by the construction site mainly include

water surface, farmland, forest and grassland, land for water conservancy facilities and so

on; there is no protected species in and around the project area and the project occupies

little water resource; vegetation of the site may be damaged during the construction period,

but it can be restored by green land, restoration of temporarily occupied land and greening

measures such as planting trees and grass. So it will not have a seriously adverse impact

on ecological environment.

10.3.3Atmospheric Environment

（1）Construction Period

The greatest impact on ambient air during construction period arise from air-borne

dust, and exhaust of burned gas and other fuels produced in transportation or equipment

operation also contribute to pollution of atmospheric air. Air-borne dust on the

construction site is mainly from excavation of foundation pits, quarry mining, abandoned

dreg heaping and vehicle transportation and the most serious pollutant is TSP. It will have

certain impact on constructors having long-term exposure to dust and residents along the

road. The construction unit should take measures such as spraying water, strengthening

management and intensifying protection for on-site workers to reduce air-borne dust by

50% to 70%, and effectively reduce the influence of air-borne dust to ambient air.

As transportation and construction equipment’s operation bring in relatively little

pollutants, and such pollutants are mobile and well diffusive at the construction site, so it

will not have much bad influence on the quality and function of ambient air.

（2） Service period

During service period, major oil-fired exhaust from ships is CO and NO2 discharged

in voyage. The local air condition is good for exhaust to diffuse, so the air quality will not

deteriorate. The extension project area can meet the requirements for Class II area in

Environmental Quality Standard for Air (GB3095-2012).

10.3.4 Water Environment

（1） Construction Period

During construction period, building of structures in water increased suspended

solids of surface waters; waste generated during construction includes contaminated oil

from construction machine (drip or leakage of oil), contaminants from building materials

and discarded substances eroded by rain, residual water from sediment, discharged water


188

from foundation pit, sewage from rinsed sand and stone. Of all the contaminants,

suspended solids and petroleum account for the most percentage.

Untreated discharge of construction sewage will contaminate the ship lock reach to

some extent. Oil separation, precipitation and intensified management of environmental

protection during construction can effectively avoid or ease pollution of surface water.

Domestic waste on construction site was mainly formed during construction workers’

daily life. Construction workers are suggested to rent house, or set permeability-reducing

dry pail latrine and clean it regularly

（2） Service Period

During service period, domestic sewage discharged by ship lock workers and screws

on board, and contaminated oil from ships form major portion of waste, in which COD,

NH3-N and petroleum are considered as principal pollutants.Major functions of Shaying

River include transportation and irrigation. No centralized drinking water feeders are

provided, and volume of domestic sewage meeting national discharge standard is very

limited, so the water in Shaying river is not much affected.

Sewage from the ship lock administration center can be used for greening in the

center once it is treated by underground integrated sewage treatment device; additionally,

it is suggested to keep a close eye on planning sewage pipelines of Yingshang County.

Once sewage discharged from the center can be incorporated into the municipal pipeline

network, realize it. According to requirements of harbor approach administration, any ship

is not allowed to discharge contaminated oil and water at the bilge when it is passing the

ship lock.

10.3.5 Acoustic environment

（1） Construction Period

Reconstruction of ship locks and road bridges and construction of connecting

engineering would have certain influence on local households. This construction project

lies between the two banks of the approach channel, and the sensitive spot is more than

150 meters away from the construction site. Corresponding standards can be met during

the day, and certain impact will be left on surrounding sensitive spots at night. Analysis

shows that the steel and wood processing site generates higher noise, so the processing site

should be placed within interim room to reduce noise and meet noise control standard

during the day, and at night when measured beyond 281 meters. According to environment

assessment, it is suggested to ban large construction machine from operation during night.

Construction during night is unavoidable for the project, so the builder and the


189

construction unit should apply to Environmental Protection Agency of Yingshang County

for construction during night, and inform neighboring residents of necessary precautions.

According to the assessment, the construction unit should intensify environmental

management, and push the construction unit to strictly follow Emission Standard of

Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), and improve

equipment management and control construction period.

During day time, traffic noise from construction at sensitive spots on both sides of

transportation lines ranges from 54.4 to 60.2dB (A), and predicted noise is 54.7 to 60.7dB

(A).At Xinhe Village --- Qiaonan I (M3) of transportation line 1(2), predicted noise

exceeds maximum permissible value by 0.7dB (A), and noise any other sensitive spot is

up to the standard. It is recommended to keep track of the sensitive spots with excessive

noise, and 120 square meters of ventilatory sound-proof windows should be reserved.

Construction of ship lock and road bridges will have certain impact on neighboring

sensitive spots. All sources of noise during contraction period is temporary, and they exert

influence in short period and within limited area. Once the construction is over, such

negative influence will disappear.

(2) Service Period

During service period, major sources of noise are sailing ships, ship engines and ship

sirens. Analysis shows that during service period above sources of noise have certain

impacts on neighboring sensitive spots. The construction unit and the ship lock

administration agency should intensify their management. Once any ship entered the

approach channel or was passing the lock, doors of engine room should be closed and such

ships should sail at lower speed. Use of sound mechanism should follow relevant

stipulations on safe navigation of ships. Limit ship horn and forbid siren sound at night,

and relieve impact of noise on neighboring environment. Ships inconsistent with

environmental protection requirements must be eliminated. Qualified discharge silencer

must be mounted to ships in operation to ensure its normal operation. Discharge noise

must follow Regulation on Noise Levels on Board Inland Ships. Afforested area rate for

the ship lock and two banks of the approach channel must meet environmental

requirements. Trees should be planted at the ship lock administration center and the two

inner sides of the approach channel.

According to noise prediction for the operation period, once engine room doors are


190

closed, only relative's courtyard (M) for the ship lock administration agency at night fails

to meet noise control requirement among eight predicted points, and the noise exceeds

maximum standard value by 0.6dB (A).It is recommended to keep track of the relative's

courtyard (M) for the ship lock administration agency. If necessary, mount ventilation

sound-proof window (the window can reduce noise by 25~30dB (A)). There are seven

users, 6 meter squares for each household. If the window valued 1000 Yuan/square meters,

42000 Yuan is needed to protection environment

Security regulations on ship lock passage will be broadcast on LED screen once the

Yingshang 2nd waterway ship lock is completed, so it needs no broadcast generally. If

broadcast is necessary in certain cases, use frequency should be controlled and never

broadcast at night.

10.3.6 Solid Waste

Solid waste produced during the construction period of ship lock expansion project is

mainly the earthwork excavated by engineering excavation and the living garbage

produced by the construction personnel. The discarded earthwork was carried to

dumping area. All kinds of earth cofferdam (including bag packed soil) fills 9152m3, all

are used for excavation, after completion, excavated and transported to dumping area. Try

to collect the recycle the wasted slag. The living garbage produced during service period

and construction period should be collected and given to the environmental protection

department for disposal.

10.3.7 Impact on Flood Control

Yingshang 2nd waterway ship lock project has no adverse effects on the existing

channel and the flood control of the nearby area, the implementation of the project

conforms with the relevant industry planning, the designed flood control standard and

standard of construction diversion meet the specification requirements, the engineering

construction basically has no impact on the flood capacity of Shaying River, it will not

affect the channel river regime, after taking engineering measures, it will not affect the

flood safety of the channel nor affect the emergency flood fighting, there will be no

significant influence to the legal water rights of a third party. The engineering generally

fulfills the flooding safety requirement.

10.3.8 Risk Analysis of Accident

According to the forecast of the carrying capacity during service period and the


191

relevant statistical results, ships coming and going are mainly for coal, building materials

and chemical materials transportation, coal or building materials etc falling into the water

will have a small influence to the water quality, but the chemical material may have big

influence if falling into the water, for this environment impact assessment, risk analysis is

mainly made for transportation of chemical material.

Hazardous chemicals etc generally have greater toxicity; it may cause serious water

pollution once being leaked. The assessment requiring the construction unit to strengthen

the safety of ship and berthing, prepared well for the prevention of accident. For an

effective treatment of sudden pollution accident and strengthening the emergency

treatment responsibility, to control the hazard of the pollutant in maximum extent, the

assessment requiring the construction units to formulate emergency plans in accordance

with the relevant laws, rules and regulations.

10.3.9 Analysis of Water and Soil Loss Influence

According to the results of soil and water loss estimated, the total amount of soil and

water loss during construction period is 5472.3t, the background loss is 384.1t, and the

newly added loss is 5088.2 t.

The construction of this project has good economic and social benefits; it has obvious

effect on promoting the social and economic development of the local area. Although the

construction may cause destruction to the original landscape and produce discarded soil

which may cause water and soil loss, through the development of soil and water

conservation plan, taking corresponding measures, an effectively prevention can be made

control the possible water and soil loss, it is possible to reduce the soil wand water loss

caused by construction.

10.4 Conclusion of Assessment

The 2nd waterway ship lock engineering on Shaying River channel plays an

important role in realizing shipping development planning of the Country and Anhui

Province, improving the regional high-grade channel network upgrading, dredging the

impeding navigation node of Shaying River and expanding its capacity, exert the scale

benefit of shipping, pushing the integration of regional resources and economic integration,

driving the resources development and social economy developed in a coordinated way, it

has a great significance to the local economic development.

The 2nd waterway ship lock engineering construction on Shaying River channel may


192

have impact of different extent on the surrounding environment, but after strictly

implementing all kinds of environmental measures in the report, the impact on the

surrounding ecological environment can be reduced to an acceptable extent. So, with the

precondition of carefully implementing the corresponding environment rules and policies

of the Country and Anhui Province and strictly carrying out the system of “three

simultaneity”, considering from the viewpoint of environment protection, the 2nd

waterway ship lock construction on Shaying River is feasible.
