Chapter I General 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Project origin

At present, the Grand Western Development Program and Urban and Rural Integrative Development Strategy, determined by the Central Government, are under full implementation in Sichuan Province, in which, as a key link, construction of small towns is of significant importance. However, current status in development of small towns in Sichuan is far from being satisfactory. In the nationwide selection for “One Thousand Powerful Towns” in 2006, the selected towns in the four provinces (municipalities) at Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, i.e. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong, account for as high as 74.6%. Only four towns in Sichuan characterized by huge population were selected, which clearly shows the big gap. Therefore, promoting development of small towns, especially infrastructure construction, became an important measure to break through the existing pattern.

Sichuan Small Towns Development Project (SSTDP) by WB Loans is the infrastructure construction project approved by the State Council and sponsored by WB Loans, and also the 4th urban construction and environmental protection project by WB loans implemented in Sichuan, which was listed in the “Plan of Candidate Projects for Utilization of WB Loans during 2008-2010” (FGWZ [2007] No. 2536) in Sep. 2007 and has been listed in the “Plan of WB Loans for Fiscal Years of 2009-2011” (CGJ [2008] No. 111) by now.

In accordance with the Several Suggestions on Promoting Healthy Development of Small Towns and relevant spirits of the National Development and Reform Committee, the people’s governments at all the districts and counties strive to improve living conditions for the residents and promote development of regional economy, under the subject of scientific development and by means of speeding up construction of the key small towns.

Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Committee approved, in succession, all the subprojects under SSTDP by WB Loans, in August 2009. The client of each subproject entrusted the organization qualified for environmental impact assessment to perform environmental impact assessment according to the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment and Regulations on the Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection, and the environmental impact assessment reports of all the subprojects have already been completed now.

1.1.2 Necessity of construction

All the subprojects under SSTDP belong to municipal works in cities and towns, which include road construction, (environmental) waterway treatment, wastewater interception pipe network and construction of wastewater treatment plant. Implementation of the works contributes to local social and economic development and accelerating urban and rural integrative construction under overall planning, and is very necessary to improve regional ecological environment, to prevent flood and intercept wastewater, as well as to upgrade living quality.

1.2.2 WB requirements

WB requirements include 10 basic safeguard policies, among which the policy on environmental assessment (OP4. 01) is the basic requirements and also one of the main basis for preparation of environmental impact assessment reports. The proposed project neither involves international waterways (OP7.50), nor stands at the disputed area defined in OP7.60, so these two policies shall not be applied in the assessment. Other policies will be reflected in the assessment on the basis of survey analysis and screening.

1.3 EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) summary 1.3.1 Environmental impact assessment category of the Project

The proposed project is mainly aimed at improving infrastructure and managing environment in the districts, counties and townships and towns under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province, and laying the foundation for developing economy at poverty-stricken areas, improving living quality of the residents and reducing gaps between urban and rural areas. As the proposed project is located dispersedly and needs investment in small amount, and moreover it is known according to field survey carried out by the WB experts in environmental impact assessment, project group of Sichuan Provincial Project Management Office (PPMO) and EIA consultants of each subproject that there’s no environment sensitive area, like ecologically sensitive or fragile area, areas to be particularly protected and area of social interest within the project-affected area, the environmental impact assessment experts of PPMO and environmental impact assessment experts of World Bank Safeguard Mission suggested to classify the proposed project as the Category B project of WB in terms of environmental screening, which was already confirmed by WB.

1.3.2 Overview of preparation for environmental impact assessment reports of subprojects

Preparation of the environmental impact assessment documents of each subproject shall satisfy not only the requirements on environmental impact assessment examination and approval in China, but also the requirements of the safeguard policies of WB. According to the suggestions of the environmental assessment experts of World Bank Safeguard Mission, the PPMO already organized training to the EIA consultants, design institutes and consultants engaged in the project by WB loans, so that they can learn WB policies and requirements, take all the WB safeguard policies that may be involved in the project into comprehensive consideration and reflect them in the environmental impact assessment documents.

All the organizations undertaking and participating in environmental impact assessment of all the subprojects of SSTDP have the qualification certificate of environmental impact assessment issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China and researchers and engineers in varied disciplines, such as sociology, human geography, ecology, environmental engineering and traffic engineering; some EIA consultants undertook environmental impact assessment for the WB loaned railway projects, metro projects and infrastructure projects in post-disaster reconstruction in cities and towns in recent years.

There are totally 8 environmental impact assessment documents for all the subprojects of SSTDP, among which 6 are environmental impact assessment reports and 2 are environmental impact assessment tables, and all shall be examined for approval by the Environmental Protection Department of Sichuan Province according to the requirements on classification management of environmental impact assessment in China.

functions as scenic spots, irrigation and power generation

Flow from north to south, direct through project

construction area

The above environmental protection purposes can be divided into ecological sensitive area, surface water body river and habitants residence. The ecological sensitive area only covers Zhoujiaci provincial heritage conservation unit. Waterway works of Environmental Treatment Subproject of Hongya County (Hongchuan Town) cross the construction control zone of Zhoujiaci and they are not located in protection scope of cultural property. Since their construction has little impact upon Zhoujiaci, relic protection authorities have issued a letter on approval of the project crossing the construction control zone of Zhoujiaci.

All surface water bodies of the Project belong to Yangtze River valley and they are located at different branches. SSTDP mostly covers such projects as municipal roads and environmental treatment and its main impacts upon water environment are disturbances to surface water body during construction period, which are short-term impacts controllable in local area. It has no impact during

14

operation period. In addition, environmental treatment project can intercept wastewater and reduce drainage which is favorable for improvement of water quality.

As for impacts upon residential environment of habitants, interferences to habitants near the site with construction degrading air quality and producing noises during construction period are short-term impacts controllable in local area. Traffic noises may impact habitants at both sides of the road during operation period of the road project.

Chapter III Regional Environment Overview 3.1 Natural condition 3.1.1 Overview of natural condition of Sichuan Province

1. Geographic location

Sichuan Province is located in the southwest of China, in the upper reaches of Yangtze River, and at east longitude 92°21 -108°12 DQd north latitude 26°03 -34°19 � ,W�LV�1075km long from east to west and 900km wide from south to north. It borders on Chongqing Municipality in the east, Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province in the south, Tibet Autonomous Region in the west and Qinghai Province, Gansu Province and Shaanxi Province in the north. Its area reaches 485,000km2, being ranked at the 5th place among all provinces/municipalities/autonomous regions of China, next to Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Tibet Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province.

2. Topography

The topography of the whole province is complicated and varies from east to west. Sichuan is located at the first and the second ones of the three major steps in the topography of China mainland, namely, at the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as the first step and the plain in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River as the second step. The province shows a significant elevation difference, obviously higher in the west and lower in the east. The west part of Sichuan Province comprises plateau and mountain land, over 4000m in altitude; the east part of Sichuan Province comprises basin and hill, between 1000m and 3000m in altitude. The whole province can be divided into three parts, i.e., Sichuan Basin, Northwest Sichuan Plateau and

Sichuan Basin in the east part is one of the four major basins of China, 165,000km2 in area. The basin is surrounded by Qinling Mountains, with Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain in its east, Dalou Mountain in its south and Longmen Mountain and Qionglai Mountain in its northwest. The basin has a warm and humid climate, warm in winter and hot in summer, with an annual precipitation of 900-1200mm in most parts. The climate is a subtropical humid monsoon climate. The vegetation is subtropical broad leaved evergreen forest. The agriculture is double-cropped. The west part of the basin is West Sichuan Plain, where soil is fertile; this part is Dujiangyan Gravity Irrigation Area, where farmland is productive. The middle part of the basin is purple soil hills, with an altitude of 400-800m; the topography is slightly inclined towards south; Minjiang River, Tuojiang River and Jialing River flow southwards into Yangtze River from the mountain land in the north. The east part of the basin is East Sichuan Paralleled Ridge-Valley, comprising Huaying Mountain, Tongluo Mountain and Mingyue Mountain.

The northwest part of the province is Northwest Sichuan Plateau, as a corner in the southeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of 3000-5000m. The climate is puna. The vegetation is alpine meadow.

3. Climatic condition

25

As for Sichuan Basin central subtropical humid climate zone, the whole year is warm and humid, with an average temperature of 16-18and accumulated temperature of 4000-6000��7KH�GDLO\�UDQJH�RI�DLU�WHPSHUDWXUH�LV�VPDOO�DQG�WKH�DQQXDO�UDQJH�RI�DLU�temperature is large. Winter is warm and summer is hot. The frost-free period is 230-340 days. The cloud amount is large and the fine days are less. The sunshine time is short, only 1000-1400 hours a year, 600-800 hours less than that of the areas in the lower reaches of Yangtze River at the same latitude. The precipitation is abundant, 1000-1200mm annually, over 50% in summer, especially at night.

As for subtropical subhumid climate zone of Southwest Sichuan mountainous region, the air temperature of the whole year is high, 12-20in average annually. The daily range of air temperature is large and the annual range of air temperature is small. The morning is cold and the noon is warm. The four seasons are not distinct. The cloud amount is small and the fine days are more. The sunshine time is long, 2000-2600 hours annually. The precipitation is small. The dry season and the wet season are distinct. Totally 7 months of a year are dry season. The annual precipitation is 900-1200mm, 90% of which in the period from May to October. The river valley area has a typical dry and hot river-valley climate due to the impact of foehn wind. The mountain land has a prominent stereoscopic climate.

As for northwest Sichuan High Mountain & Plateau puna zone, the altitude difference is large. The climate has obvious stereoscopic changes. Subtropical zone, warm temperate zone, mid temperate zone, cold temperate zone, subfrigid zone, frigid zone and permafrost zone appear in turn from river valley to ridge. The cold temperate zone climate is dominant. The river valley is dry and warm. The mountain land is cold and humid. Winter is cold and summer is cool. The water heat is insufficient. The annual temperature is 4-12��7KH�DQQXDO�SUHFLSLWDWLRQ�LV��-900mm. The weather is clear and the sunshine is sufficient. The annual sunshine time is 1600-2600 hours.

The climate of Sichuan Province can be generally described as follows. The monsoon climate is prominent. The rainy season is the hot season. The local difference is obvious; the east part has warm winter, early spring, hot summer, rainy autumn, more cloud and mist, less sunshine, and long growing season; the west part is cold, with long winter, sufficient sunshine, centralized precipitation, and distinct dry season and rainy season, but without summer basically. The vertical climate change is great and the climate types are various, which do good to the comprehensive development of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. The climatic damage has various types, with a high frequency and a wide range, mainly including drought, rainstorm, flood and low temperature.

The proportions among the three industries changed from the last year’s 17.6:46.2:36.2 to 15.8:47.4:36.8.

3. Resources

Sichuan is rich in energy resources. The resources mainly comprise water energy, coal and natural gas. The coal accounts for 23.5%, the natural gas and petroleum 1.5% and water energy 75%.

The theoretical reserve of water energy in the whole province reaches 143 million kw, accounting for 21.2% of the total reserve of the country, only next to Tibet. Out of the total reserve, the technically developable quantity is 103 million kw, accounting for 27.2% of the total quantity of the country, while the economically developable quantity is 76.112 million kilometers, accounting for 31.9% the total quantity of the country, and being ranked at the first place among all provinces in the country. The water energy resources are mostly distributed over three water systems, i.e., Dadu River, Jinsha River and Yalong River. The said three water systems provide 2/3 of the total water energy resources of the province and are the largest “rich mine field” of hydroelectric power in the country. Their technically developable quantity accounts for over 79.2% of their theoretical reserve and accounts for 80% of the total quantity of the whole province. The Ertan Hydropower Station on Yalong River has a installed gross capacity of 3.30 million kilometers.

The recoverable deposit of coal in the whole province is 9733 million ton. Its proven reserve accounts for 0.9% of the total reserve of the country. The petroleum and natural gas resources mainly comprise natural gas. The petroleum resources see a very small reserve. Sichuan Basin has accumulatively proven new geologic reserves of 67,960,000 ton. However, the natural gas resources in Sichuan Basin are very rich. In fact, Sichuan Basin is one of the major basins in China with petroleum and natural gas

Remarks


Yangliu River currently has a poor water quality, which cannot meet the requirement of category-3 water quality standard in GB3838-2002. The main substances exceeding the standard are chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen. The main cause for the unqualified water quality of Yangliu River is the waste from the areas along the river banks. Large amounts of domestic wastewater and agricultural wastewater along the river banks are discharged to Yangliu River.

Monitoring was carried out from Nov. 3-5, 2009.

According to the monitored data, the water quality of Qijiang River is good. All water quality factors can meet the category-3 water quality standard in GB3838-2002 - Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water. But the water quality of Gubai River is poor. Two factors, i.e., CODCr and total phosphorus, exceed the limits. But the remaining factors can meet the category-3 water quality standard. This is because of the mixed flow of the storm wastewater (domestic wastewater) in the residents’ area close to Gubai River (Hongqi Bridge and Luogui Road); this mixed flow is discharged to the rivers on the earth’s surface before proper treatment, which causes the pollution of water body and the decrease of the water quality.

Monitoring data were picked from Monthly Report Form for Surface Water Monitoring by Daying County Environmental Monitoring Station (Aug. 3, 2009).

All parameters of the water body in the evaluated section of Yingxi River can meet the category-3 water quality standard in GB3838-2002 - Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water. But three factors, i.e., COD, BOD5 and NH3-N, of the water body in the evaluated section of Naoxi River exceed the limits. The remaining factors can meet the category-3 water quality standard in GB3838-2002 - Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water. This is because of the urban wastewater along the river discharged to the water body.

(Hongchuan Town)

For the south and the north moats, because of the untreated domestic wastewater discharged directly to the river, the water quality of the rivers is quite poor. The water bodies are black and give out smell. Water weed, waste and oil appear on the river surface. The indicators of water quality of these water bodies cannot meet the category-4 water quality standard.

According to the monitored data of the current condition, at the cross-section 500m upstream of the regulated river section under the works, the indicators of COD, BOD5 and coliform bacteria significantly exceed the limits. This is because of the direct discharge of domestic wastewater within the area; there is no wastewater drainage pipe network on both sides of the line. The other monitored cross-section is the cross-section where Xiaoshanzi River joins Nixi River. In this cross-section, all the indicators of COD, BOD5, ammonia nitrogen and coliform bacteria significantly exceed the limits. This is because of the discharge of the farmers’ domestic wastewater and some aquiculture wastewater along the line.

Monitoring was carried out from Nov. 2-4, 2009 and total two monitoring sections were distributed for monitoring.

4.2 Analysis of major impacts and mitigation measures 4.2.1 Ecological environmental impacts and mitigation measures

1. Analysis of ecological environmental impacts

During construction period, major means of ecological environmental impact and damage include main works occupying land; altering the nature of land utilization; destroying vegetation; reducing the arable land along the line; low rate of coverage of vegetation. Earth and stone works causes debris flow; works activities disrupt natural ecological balance, leading to negative impact on the survival of organisms along the line.

All subprojects under SSTDP do not cover any natural reserve, scenic area or forest park, except for that Environmental Treatment Subproject of Hongya County (Hongchuan Town) crosses the construction control zone of Zhoujiaci provincial heritage conservation unit and it has been approved by local relic protection authorities (HWTF [2009] No. 29).

The works, earth and stone amount as well as works land occupied are all relatively small, posing little damage to vegetation and exerting little impact on debris flow. Through ecological protective slope in latter works stage and planting of more trees, this problem can be alleviated. The works of environmental treatment works in Hongya County (Hongchuan Town), and waterway treatment works in Xiaoshanzi River Downtown Section of Jialing District of Nanchong City belong to the issues of environmental treatment, which revolves around river channel dredging and ecological treatment. The works implementation will dramatically improve our ecological environment.

2. Mitigation measures of ecological environment

(1) Measures of vegetation protection and restoration

During the process of construction, mellow soil on the surface of arable farmland of permanently land acquisition or temporarily used land shall be kept and preserved. After construction is completed, the mellow soil shall be covered back on it as soon as possible to recover vegetation. Particularly after works is over, efforts shall be made to recover vegetations for temporarily utilized land and trees shall be planted in temporary shed slashes.

55

In selection of plant species for either side of the road, apart from taking the quick growing species of trees into consideration, shrubs from identical regions shall be transplanted to ensure the high rate of survival, blending with the nature and at the same time, heading off the invasion of plants, reliving the true color of nature. Efforts shall be made to increase the biodiversity of plant species in the corridor region; boosting the capability of fighting against diseases and pests and strengthening the stability of corridor. Besides, the selection of sprouts of tree types has been subject to strict inspection and vaccination to prevent invasion of pests.

(2) Animal protection

1) Propagation of laws and regulations on protection of wild animals and crackdown of behaviors of hunting wild animals

Intensify propagation of laws and regulations on protecting wild animals so as to inculcate the importance of protecting wild animals in construction workers; educating the public not to hunt wild animals; wild animals, if caught, shall be moved elsewhere away from roads.

2) Reasonable selection of construction period and process to minimize the impact on animals

3) Prevention of pollutions to zootope

Strengthen all sorts of sanitary management for construction workers (such as personal hygiene, excrement and domestic wastewater); prevent direct discharge of domestic wastewater; reduce water pollution; make efforts in restoration of ecological environment after construction is over to reduce the negative impact of damaged vegetation and debris flow on water quality and aquatic organisms. Meanwhile, equal attention shall be paid to prevention and vaccination of people and livestock in non-assessment region as a result of damage done by animals.

(3) Measures for prevention of invasion of exotic species

There has been no mature means of preventing invasion of exotic species during construction and operation periods of the project. In light of works characteristics, the following measures are suggested to be adopted to prevent invasion of foreign species: intensify advertising efforts to construction workers about the damage of foreign species and means of transmission; strict inspection shall be conducted on imported fruits, seeds and flowers to determine if some quarantined diseases or pests have been brought into the works zone; for current existing exotic species, utilize the opportunities of works construction to burn plants that bear fruits on the site to prevent dispersal of seeds; some forest-cutting slashes are most vulnerable to invasion of foreign species and greening efforts shall be made in temporarily used regions

(4) Protective measures of aquatic organisms

Ordinary protective measures are: intensify protection of aquatic environment to prevent the occurrences of eutrophication in some aquatic regions along the line; minimizing the impact on the environment of habitat for aquatic organisms. The following measures are suggested by EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) to be adopted to protect aquatic organisms.

1) Protective measures for aquatic organisms during construction period

56

Thepiling of materials used for construction shall be away from water source or other water bodies; site that can be hardly washed by torrential runoff is ideal. If some construction materials are piled up near the bridge, ditches shall be dug up in the perimeter of the site where materials are piled up and retaining walls shall be erected to prevent torrential runoff from entering the water body and affecting water quality. All sorts of materials shall be equipped with facilities that shelter rain.

2) Protective measures of aquatic organisms during operation period include the following aspects:

� Vehicles that carry coal, lime and cement that are not covered are banned from traveling on road; freight containers and overloaded trucks that have oil leak or material leak are banned from traveling on roads; stick to measures guaranteeing the safety of vehicles transporting dangerous stuff and regarding handling of accidents

� Reasonably organize construction procedures and construction machineries; strictly carry out drainage design and implementation according to road construction standards and conduct education to construction workers regarding necessary protection of ecological environment

� Complete restoration of ecological environment after the project is completed to reduce the impact of vegetation damage and debris flow on aquatic organisms

3. Water and soil conservation measures

(1) Preventive measures for water and soil erosion in the area of main works

Before construction of excavation of side slope of main works, protective measures shall be adopted for the top of side slope. Tentative drainage ditch shall be set in place in the perimeter of excavation region and sand trap shall be installed along the drainage ditch. After temporary drainage ditch is used, it shall be refilled and forests are planted.

During the construction of dam filling, temporary torrent gutter shall be installed along both sides of subgrade so that rainwater can be discharged to the outside of subgrade along the torrent gutter to prevent washing of side slopes.

Masonry works of excavation and refilling side slope shall be timely protected and built as the design of side slope is stable. Meanwhile, slope surface and slope foot drainage system shall be done so that construction and masonry reinforcement can be done in an orderly manner.

Measures including grid protective slope, masonry facing wall and planting grass between grid and arch shall be adopted for side slope of subgrade of the section of excavation and filling. Water and soil can be effectively preserved while planting grass and trees on side slopes.

Given the land conditions, within the range of protected land on both sides of the roads, arbor – shrub method shall be adopted in planting in the sense that a row of shrubs can be planted amidst evergreen arbor. To prevent debris flow as a result of loose revealing of road surface within the protected region at the initial phase of planting arbor and shrubs, some quick-growing grasses shall be grown at the same time to form a comprehensive colonial system of ecology.

(2) Preventive measures for water and soil erosion in construction occupied ground

57

Temporary drainage ditch and sand trap shall be installed on the lower side before field works and utilization of temporary construction sites; after construction is complete, structures on the road surface and hardened road surface that are no longer needed shall be removed and demolished promptly and advancing to the next phase of vegetation restoration.

The excavation of borrowing site shall prevent the formation of extremely steeped side slope; ensuring drainage ditch is dug up every time before excavation. After excavation is over, earth shall be refilled to recover vegetation.

The filling volume of this project is substantially greater than the excavation volume. Hence, the waste soil of the construction can be directly used for backfill and utilization of the site, reducing the land occupied by waste soil.

4.2.2 Analysis and assessment of noise environmental impact

1. Analysis and mitigation measures of acoustical environmental impact during construction period

(1) Analysis of acoustic environmental impact during construction period

The noise during construction period mainly refers to noise generated during the process of operations of all sorts of construction machineries, equipments and works transport vehicles. According to works characteristics, different constructions require different machineries. There are relatively many works under SSTDP, mostly all sorts of mechanical equipments required for road works and construction noise is the most evident. So far, commonly used machines mainly include: excavator, shovel loader, tire roller, paver and blender. It can be divided into fixed source and mobile source of noise. Fixed source refers mainly to construction machineries and mobile source of noise is mainly vehicles transporting materials.

The intensity of noise source of construction machineries falls in the range of 80-100dB (A). The noise generated by construction machineries during construction period of the project can basically meet the requirements of standards during day “Noise Limit for Construction Site” (GB12523-90) at a distance of 60 meters; meeting the requirements for night standard at a distance of 300 meters. Most of subprojects under SSTDP are located in construction regions of the city and peripheral regions. There are certain numbers of noise-sensitive structures in residential regions within a distance of 300 meters. The construction period is affected somehow.

(2) Mitigation measures of acoustic environmental impact during construction period

1) The Constructor must choose construction machineries that meet relevant national standards; it would be best to choose low-noise construction

61

machineries or processes and reduce noise source and sound source in a fundamental manner.

2) Require project construction to reasonably schedule construction time; carry out construction according to the requirements of site management of construction; steam hammer, large-scale crane equipments, concrete blender and other high-noise equipments are banned from use during night (22:00-6:00) to guarantee the health and rest of people in the surrounding of the construction zone. Construction camp shall be as far away from school and densely populated regions as possible so that construction shall be scheduled on weekends or in times of holidays.

3) Pay attention to maintenance of construction machineries so that machineries can maintain their best working conditions and noise can be kept to the lowest level; monitoring is carried out on the noise level of sensitive construction spots.

4) Carry out monitor on noise in sensitive regions and adopt tentative noise-lowering measures according to the situation

5) Reduce the flow of construction vehicles at night and erect speed limit sign in residential areas, attached enterprising zone and cross-roads where traffic flow is high; reasonably schedule running time and transportation lines

2. Analysis and mitigation measures of acoustic environmental impact during operation period

(1) Analysis of acoustic environmental impact during operation period

The noise impact during the operation period of each subproject under SSTDP is mainly reflected through operating noise of road traffic and wastewater treatment plant (equipment); noise impact is pretty much minimal for waterway treatment and pipe network construction

1) Road traffic noise

� Subproject of Puxing Town, Xinjin County

According to project characteristics, prediction of roads that are measured 30 meters by 24 meters shall be considered. See Table 4.2-2 for prediction results.

The predicted value at noise prediction point of the proposed project in both day and night can all meet the requirements of Category 2 Standard in “Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB3096-93)” and cause obvious impacts on the assessment region.

3) Noise at fixed-point source

Waste lift pump is installed in Pengshan Wastewater treatment Plant by Road and Wastewater interception Works in Southern Segment of Binjiang Road in Fengming Town of Pengshan County under each subproject under SSTDP. The intensity of noise source of water pump is 70dB-80dB; meanwhile, because water pump is installed in the inside of the pump house. Through soundproofing of pump house and distance, noise can be reduced. According to noise prediction at noise source, at a distance of 30 meters from water pump, noise can meet Category 2 standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). In this project, pump house can be built inside wastewater treatment plant. It meets 100m sanitary protection distance of wastewater treatment plant (greater than 50m sanitary protection distance in pump house lay down by EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment). There are no residents within the range of 100 meters, which is why pump house will not pose any visible impact on the surrounding acoustic environment.

(2) Mitigation measures and suggestions of acoustic environment

1) Reasonable urban planning, structural layout and control of land occupation on both sides of road

In light of the fact that the both sides of newly built road is poorly developed, it is suggested that while the land functions on both sides of the road is reasonably planned, construction department, particularly in the project of real estate development, efforts shall be made to strengthen architectural layout and soundproof design, guaranteeing the interior environment of the sensitive architectures can meet the requirements of functions. A row of houses is suggested to be built along the roads and buildings of more than three-storey high that are intended for non-scientific and residential purposes are suggested to be built. In this way, it can better meet the requirements of shortage of land in cities and at the same time, block out some traffic noises for architectures in the rear row.

2) Intensification of greening

Because the land is in urban regions, therefore, the land resources are scarce and very expensive. Hence, it is unlikely that a large green belt can be established along the road. Sidewalk trees are suggested to be planted and composite, three-dimensional greening is adopted to reduce the noise impact on the environment along both sides of the road. It is suggested that real estate developers may build green belts with a certain width along one side of

69

theroad so as to lower the noise, prevent dust and improve the landscape in the neighborhood.

3) Reduction of sound source noise radiation

Implement management of vehicles into the city at night and restrict speeding at night in sensitive road segments

Strengthen management of vehicle horning and set up signs that prohibit horning and speed slowing on both sides of schools and hospitals

Strengthen maintenance and management of roads in the city; promptly repair damaged road surface and restrict the traffic of speeding, overloaded trucks.

4) Protection of noise affected point

For the works of construction works of North Outer Ring Road in Zhonglong Town of Zizhong County, adopt necessary soundproofing window measures for residents along the road based on concrete monitoring results upon the inspection and acceptance of road project completion. Reserve 2000m2 of soundproofing windows at four sensitive points where noise exceeds the standard value. The price is 1 million. Installation is done based on value exceeded for actual noise monitoring result after the project is completed

Total 536m2 soundproof windows at 5 places for 67 households shall be reserved and installed at total cost of 0.268 million yuan under Infrastructure Construction Subproject of Miyi County (Panlian Town). Soundproof windows shall be installed according to actual noise monitoring results upon completion of the road.

5) Efforts shall be intensified on monitoring regions including hospitals, schools and other sensitive regions during the operation period. If there is an exceeded value monitored, viable measures shall be adopted in a timely manner.

4.2.3 Analysis and assessment of water environmental impact

1. Analysis of water environmental impact during construction period

(1) Analysis of domestic wastewater impact

During construction period, the major source of domestic wastewater is the domestic wastewater and excrement generated when construction workers have meals and wash dishes, which mainly include plant and animal fat, detergent and other organic matters.

(2) Analysis of production wastewater impact

Wastewater discharged by gravel material processing system. The screening process of gravel material processing system requires washing with water and dust fall, which will generate wastewater. The major pollutant in the wastewater is SS and the concentration of suspended sediment in similar works wastewater is approximately 25000mg/L.

The wastewater from concrete mixing system originates from washing of concrete drum and charging bucket. In comparison with similar projects, the PH-value in the wastewater is approximately 11 and concentration of suspended solids in the wastewater is roughly 500-1000mg/L. Because of limited amount of wastewater, it poses barely any impact on the quality of river water.

70

Thesource of mud water in construction is from excavation of foundation pit in the pipe, pier foundation construction and waterway treatment foundation. The major pollutant is SS and direct discharge will increase the concentration of suspended sediments in nearby rivers during construction period, affecting river water quality and sedimentation basin shall be installed to collect it for sedimentation.

After sedimentation treatment, maintenance and repair of vehicles during construction period will produce wastewater that contains oil. If oil-containing wastewater is directly discharged into the river, it will form an oil slick on the water surface, affecting restoration of dissolved oxygen and river quality. Therefore, discharge is required after the treatment meets the standard.

2. Analysis of water environmental impact during operation period

The fever of each subproject under SSTDP can be attributed to road, waterway treatment, pipe network construction and wastewater treatment. During the operation period, apart from rainwater that is directly discharged into the water during the initial phase of road works that affect water environment, other works includes wastewater interception, emission reduction, environmental treatment and environmental improvement and there are no pollutants discharged.

After road is completed, a minuscule amount of dust, oil pollutant and rubbish is sprayed over the road surface during the transportation process. In times of precipitation, it is then washed off the road surface to surface waters, polluting surface waters to a certain extent.

The dike on the east coast of Anning River within the range is beautified and water environment is greatly improved. Environmental management shall be strengthened during the operation period and rubbish is banned from being poured into the river.

4.2.4 Analysis and assessment of atmospheric environmental impact

1. Analysis and assessment of atmospheric environmental impact during construction period

Subproject under SSTDP can be summed up as road, river treatment, pipeline construction and wastewater treatment plant. Atmospheric environmental impact during construction period mainly comes from construction dust, mechanical exhaust, and asphalt fumes.

(1) Construction dust

1) Impact of dust from relocation

76

During the relocation, due to overhead work and broad working surface, the dust pollution produced by the collapse of dry construction materials is particularly prominent. The quantity of dust generated is related with such factors as quantities of relocation, area of construction, wind speed during construction and method of relocation, etc.

2) Impact of dust from earthwork and foundation

During the course of subgrade excavation, land leveling, subgrade filing, foundation excavation for water plant and construction, if heavy wind blows, air pollution will be caused by the fine dust and dust.

3) Dust caused by wind in open storage yard and bare yard

Due to construction requirement, some building materials is stacked in the open air, and excavated earthwork and construction garbage is piled up on some construction points temporarily, which can produce dust in dry and windy days.

4) Dust generated by the material transporting vehicle running on the road and construction site

Dust prediction is related to the vehicle speed, vehicle weight, dust deposited on the road surface. The more deposited dust is, the more serious dust flying will be. Under same degree of cleanliness of the road surface, the higher the vehicle speed is, the larger the quantity of dust will be; At the same speed, the more dirty the road is, the larger the quantity of dust will be. Therefore, it is an effective way to reduce dust by limiting the driving speed and keeping roads clean.

During construction period, TSP pollution is serious. During loading, unloading, transportation and construction of the earthwork, and transportation of stone materials, the area affected by road construction is 200m from the both sides of the site, and the area affected by plant construction will be 100m outside of the boundary.

(2) Mechanical exhaust

At the construction site, the large and medium sized equipment is mainly powered by diesel, gasoline, when running such air pollutants as NO2, SO2, smoke etc will produce. During earthwork construction, a large number of exhausts from vehicles, excavators, bulldozers will cause the center area of the construction site waste air polluted, and make the ambient air quality declined. However, the exhaust from the construction equipment and vehicles is only a small part of the total amount, it will not have a great impact on the surrounding environment air by strengthening equipment maintenance and controlling the emission of black smoke not completely combusted.

(3) Asphalt fumes

Roads and bridges are both asphalt concrete pavement, during placement there will be asphalt smoke evaporation. According to the actual investigation of asphalt concrete pavement, if not build the asphalt concrete mixing station, only adopts commercial asphalt concrete, then the impact arrange by the volatilization of asphalt smoke will be within 10m. The road of the subproject under SSTDP is to use commercial concrete. No asphalt concrete mixing station is set, so the impact by the asphalt smoke is little. Fence is provided for separation during the construction. Therefore, the impact is acceptable.

77

(4) Atmospheric environment mitigation measures during construction period

1) When removing buildings, closing net like dust proof net shall be provided around to relief the impact of dust.

2) During the construction, the roadbed shall be compacted layer by layer, and care shall be taken to reduce dust by watering. For the vehicles carrying bulk materials with dust shall be as far as possible covered with a tarpaulin, for the vehicles transporting aggregate, overload should be limited to avoid leakage along the road, so as to reduce the fine dust pollution.

3) Powdered materials such as cement, lime, etc. should be canned, bagged, bulk transportation is prohibited, if stacking, it should be covered with tarpaulin. A tank car shall be provided to the main road, sand and gravel quarry and construction sites, regularly and in time watering is required. In this way it can effectively adsorbed the dust generated from handling, transport of the aggregate.

4) It is suggested that the construction site should be watered frequently to keep the ground wet and clean. The place where decoration materials is stacked, canvas cover shall be provided to prevent dust flying; For the truck transporting bricks and decoration materials, it will be washed when driving in and out the work yard to avoid take the dust out, and pollute road, consequently causing second dust.

5) To resume road traffic as soon as possible, avoid traffic congestion, and reduce pollution of the nearby atmospheric environment by dust from excavation, construction in rush hours should be avoided. In heavy traffic intersection, if pipe crosses the street, pipe jacking method should be used. Pipe should be laid as far as possible in sections and backfilled in time.

6) During construction period, most of transportation vehicles are fueled by gasoline (diesel), exhaust gas output and pollutants are relatively high, in order to reduce the exhaust impacting the surrounding environment, transport routes shall not cross the concentrated residential areas.

2. Analysis and assessment of atmospheric environmental impact during operation period

(1) Analysis of atmospheric environmental impact during operation period

Subproject under SSTDP can be summed up as road, river treatment, pipeline construction and wastewater treatment plant. The atmospheric environmental impact during operation period mainly comes from vehicle exhaust, noxious odors from wastewater treatment plants and wastewater pump.

The project is municipal works. Air pollution is mainly from vehicle exhaust emissions and dust during vehicle running. The main pollutants are CO, NOx, THC and TSP. With the increase of traffic volume in the region, pollutant emissions will gradually increase, which will increase the local air pollution along both sides of the road.

Under the effect of anaerobic bacteria, wastewater treatment plants, wastewater lift pump, wastewater will produce odor substances, and due to the pump mixing, odor substances from the water will spill to the atmospheric environment. The main ingredients are hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, ammonia, trimethylamine and so on.

78

(2) Mitigation measures for atmospheric environmental impact during operation period

New model of urban public buses using environment-friendly fuels such as electricity and natural gas shall be given priority to control emission of pollutants.

For automobiles powered by fuel, the quality of fuel shall be strictly controlled. Fuel with good quality shall be used, so as to reduce emission of pollutants.

For automobiles with poor performance or to be eliminated, exhaust gas purification device is needed. Exhaust emission shall be regularly checked by competent authorities of transport and communications. For vehicles of which the exhaust discharge is not up to the standards, they are not allowed to run on the road. Exhaust emission inspection regulations shall be strictly implemented. Vehicles with excessive exhaust emissions and overloading slag transporting vehicles are forbidden to run on the road.

A professional team of road maintenance, reparation and cleaning shall be established to keep roads clean and in good operation. In rainless days, tank cars shall be used to spray water to reduce dust, increase the binding force of loose soil, water stability and reduce dust.

In combination of water conservation measures, road greening shall be conducted. Street trees shall be planted to reduce dust.

(5) Control measures for odor pollution and plant area greening

To avoid odor, sanitary protection distance should be defined, 100m range outside the plant boundary shall be designated as protect zone, in this area, no settlement points can be built in the future, Within boundary and the plant, attention should be paid to kill the mosquito, flies, and transport of the sludge in time so as to reduce the odor impact. In greening design, it is suggested to strengthen boundary greening, making it form a "green barrier". In this way, it can not only reduce the odor impact, but also improve the image of Puxing Town as a small town and make the town more beautiful.

Table 4-2-13 Summary of atmospheric environmental impact analysis of subproject under SSTDP

S/N Name of subproject Atmospheric environmental impact analysis and

assessment during operation period Description of measures


Roads, for CO, in static wind, under class D and E weather conditions, roads outside (50m) can meet the relevant standards; when in small wind, the forecasted value is not exceeded. For NOX, when in small wind, it is not exceeded outside of the road (200m). When in static wind, it will not be out of limits outside of the road (50m). From overall analysis, in some local areas, due to increasing traffic flow, results in vehicle exhaust emissions increased, which increases the impact on ambient air quality along the road. Since the implementation of works improves the road network structure in the region, increase driving speed and reduce the waiting time in the intersection, automobile exhaust emissions is reduced from the macro view.

Reduction and control of excavated dusts from excavation; reduction and control of dusts of sand aggregates and concrete system; reduction and control of fuel oil exhausts.

79



For wastewater plant, according to sanitary protection distance calculation, the distance L is 100m, so the range of 100m around the plant area is designated as sanitary protection zone. According to investigation, there is no sensitive target in the region at present, In the future with the development of Puxing Town, no house shall be built in the protection area.

Prevention measures of foul pollution and greening in plant area.

Rainwater and Wastewater Pipe Network & Road Reconstruction

Subproject of Daying County (Penglai Town)

During operation period, the main atmospheric pollution source is the vehicle exhaust emission on the road The main pollutants from the exhaust is CO, CO2, smoke, hydrocarbons. The types of pollution source are dispersed and floating, and discharging height is not high, so the dispersion range of pollutants is small. Before implementation of the works, transportation network in the area is existed. After Implementation, the road layout has some change, and paved with asphalt,which improves the driving environment, let the vehicle engines in good condition. Due to regional traffic flow remaining the same before and after implementation of the project, the general vehicle exhaust emissions is slightly decreased comparing with before staring the project Implementation of the project does not pollute the atmospheric environment, but reduce the automobile exhaust pollution load to the regional atmospheric environment.

Strictly execute exhaust emission inspection system, prohibit vehicles whose exhaust emissions exceed the standard to get onto the road; scientifically organize transportation lines of vehicles; and prohibit overlimit slag trucks to get onto the road.

3



Nanchong City

Automobile exhaust pollutants are concentrated in the traffic line. With the increasing of the distance from the road margin, the diffusion predicted concentration of pollutants in ambient air shall decrease gradually. According to analogy, it is obtained that the CO concentration to road center line of about 0.27-1.21mg/m3, THC concentration of about 0.0275-0.3687mg/m3, NOX concentration of 0.032-0.078mg/m3.,which meets the limit value of level 2 in the "Ambient Air Quality Standards".

As for buses in towns and cities, new types of vehicles with environment-friendly fuels such as electricity and natural gas are preferred to control pollutant emission quantity.

As for cars with fuel oils, strictly control quality of oil products, use high-quality fuel oil to reduce emission quantity of pollutants. Cars with bad performances or to be scrapped shall be added with exhaust purifiers and regularly monitored by traffic authorities for exhaust emissions. Vehicles whose exhaust cannot meet the standard shall be strictly prevented from getting onto the road.

80



Road, during operation period, the dust and exhaust produced by the running vehicle will cause air pollution, the main pollutants is TSP, CO, NOX and THC. The road of the works is paved with asphalt, dust pollution is less. But with the increasing of traffic flow, the automobile exhaust emission will have an increasing trend, which increases the atmospheric environment pollution along the road, therefore, it is proposed that the Authority strengthen management, strictly implement notional vehicle emissions standards, to reduce pollutants in vehicle exhaust emissions, and fulfill the greening of the road well so as to clean the air.

1 Execute vehicle inspection and prohibit vehicles with over-standard exhaust emission to get onto the road; 2 Provincial relevant departments force to add exhaust purifiers and single-vehicle pollutant emission shall comply with relevant requirements; 3 Environment management shall be strengthened. The road management department shall establish an environment management mechanism and entrust the environment monitoring unit to regularly monitor ambient airs at monitoring points specified in the EIA report.

Infrastructure Construction Subproject of Miyi County (Panlian

Town)

During operation period, the main atmospheric pollution source is the vehicle exhaust emission on the road The main pollutants from the exhaust is CO, CO2, smoke, hydrocarbons. The types of pollution source are dispersed and floating, and discharging height is not high, so the dispersion range of pollutants is small. Since the traffic flow is change in day time and night time. Generally, pollution in the day is more serious. The road of the works is asphalt pavement, dust pollution is less. But with the increasing of traffic flow, the automobile exhaust emission will have an increasing trend, which increases the atmospheric environment pollution along the road, therefore, it is proposed that the Authority strengthens management, strictly implements national vehicle emissions standards, to reduce pollutants in vehicle exhaust emissions, and fulfill the greening of the road well so as to clean the air.

Recommend relevant departments to strengthen management, strictly execute car exhaust emission standard specified by the state, reduce emission quantity of car exhaust pollutants and plant greenbelts outside gutters at two sides of the road for air purification.

4.2.5 Analysis and assessment of environmental impact of solid wastes

1. Impact analysis of solid wastes and measures during construction period

The construction spoils, building wastes and domestic wastes will be generated during construction period. Construction workers will generate a certain amount of domestic wastes, mainly including the coal ashes, slag bricks, glasses, plastics, waste paper, peels, etc., wherein, the inorganic substances like coal ashes and slag bricks constitute the major part, while the organic substances like canteen wastes, plastics and paper scrapes constitute the minor part. As for the demolition of buildings and structures, the demolition and construction wastes generated per square meter of building area shall be calculated by empirical data of 0.1 m3. The solid wastes generated by demolition mainly include abandoned building slag, waste wood, plastics, metals, domestic wastes, etc., wherein, the abandoned building slag constitutes the major part, accounting for about 70 - 80%. The building wastes and domestic wastes generated during construction period, without disposal, will affect the soil, air and water environment as well as landscape in partial areas of the project.

4.2.6 Analysis and assessment of social environmental impact

1. Adverse impacts on local social environment during construction period

The adverse impacts on local social environment during construction period are mainly reflected by the land acquisition and resettlement, traffic congestion and population health.

(1) Land acquisition and resettlement

The land occupation by the project results in the loss of land and resettlement of residents. However, with the resettlement planning and implementation, as well as changing from rural residents to urban residents, re-employment training, reasonable compensation and other appropriate measures, the living standard of the affected residents will soon get back to normal and even higher than before.

(2) Impact on traffic

The project will have direct or indirect impacts on the existing traffic system in the construction area. During construction period, the number of transportation vehicles will increase, which will result in the congested traffic conditions, and may even lead to traffic jams and damages to roadway facilities, bring out traffic accidents, and thus cause traffic inconvenience.

(3) Impact on population health

During construction period, external workers will enter the site; the frequent movement of personnel may introduce exogenous diseases. Construction workers coming from high occurrence areas of infectious diseases may also bring in the infectious diseases and thus result in the spread of acute infectious diseases like malaria.

85

2. Analysis on positive effects of social environment

All subprojects under SSTDP are included in the range of urban municipal projects, including road construction, (environment) waterway treatment, wastewater interception pipe network, establishment of wastewater treatment plant, etc. The implementation of projects could help facilitate the local social and economic development, improve the environment and raise the quality of life. The positive effects are significant.

(1) Impact of the implementation of projects on promoting the regional economic development

After the completion of this project, the functional layout structure in southern area will become more scientific and reasonable, the matching facilities will become more complete, the road traffic system will become more convenient and efficient, the urban investment environment will get greatly improved, the living environment will get upgraded, and conditions for investment attraction and real estate development will become more mature, which could not only facilitate the urban construction and development, but also achieve land assessment resulting from the improvement of traffic and living environment, and thus maximize the efficiency of land resources.

(2) Improvements of QOP (quality of life) of local residents and surface water environment quality in the region

With the completion and operation of municipal infrastructure, the environment within the area will get beautified, the traffic conditions will get improved, people’s living standard will get enhanced gradually, and communications, culture & entertainment, education and health care will also develop rapidly; while in return, social causes also promote the rise of people’s cultural and living level, and thus facilitate the construction of material and spiritual civilization.

Drainage works and wastewater treatment plant of the Project shall be established to improve wastewater pipe network, collect pollution sources and realize the effects of centralized treatment, drainage upon compliance with standard, wastewater interception and discharge reduction and thereby to improve surface water environment quality of the region.

Chapter VII Summary Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by WB Loans, as an important part of the implementation of west development strategy and urban-rural coordinated development strategy, conforming to the overall planning for local cities and towns and the national industrial policy, is of great significance and wins support from majority public. There are no significance environmental constrains within the construction area of each subproject. EIA report (table) has put forward corresponding environmental measures and environmental management for environment impact generated during construction. The impact of project to the environment may be avoided and mitigated by implementing environmental measures proposed in EIA report (table) and strengthening environmental management during construction period, and thus, impacts of the implementation of projects on the environment can be prevented or mitigated. From the perspective of environmental protection, Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by WB Loans is feasible.
