Qiantang River is originated from Qingshidaijian in Xiuning County of Anhui province, with a length of 484 km to Zhakou of ( 216.5 km in Zhejiang province). The Basin area is about 42,200 km2, 35,600km2 in Zhejiang Province, others in Anhui, fujian and jiangxi Provinces. The main anabranches of Qiantang River are Wuxi River, River, Xingan River, Fenshi River, Puyang River and etc.. The main streams are named by the place name. From the headstream to Xuzhou, there are mingled in Jianshan harbor and Wuxi River mingled in, called as Xujiang River. To Lanxi City, Jianghua River is mingled in, called as Lanjiang River. To Meicheng, mingled with the main stream, Xingan River, becoming an anabranch called as Tongjiang River. It is called as Fuchunjiang river from Tonglu and Qiantang River from Wenjiayan. The average annual flow of Qiantang River is 40.4 billions m3, with a very little sand content, average 5‰.

Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejinag Province, the basin area is 36.2% of total area of zhejiang Province, the population is 32% of total population in zhejiang Province. It is “Mother River” of Zhejiang people. The mean annual precipitation in most of region within the basin is above 1,500 mm, it is praised as “home of silk”, “the land flowing with milk and honey”, “Heritage of the state” and “tourism resort”.

1.1.2 Government strategy

In January 2004, the government of Zhejiang Province put forward a 3-year environment pollution renovation action plan, called as “811”, it covers 8 large water system, 11 cities and 11 key supervising areas (2004 – 2007), unfolding the environment pollution renovating action for 8 large water systems including Qiagtang River Basin.

“811” in Zhejiang “811” environement pollution renovating action means: 8 – 8 large water systems, canal and river network in plain area in the province, 11 – either 11 cities that are divided into districts or 11 provincial level of key environment protection supervising areas, including Jiaojiangwaisha, Yantou chemical and pharmaceutical base, huangyan chemical and pharmaceutical base, Lihaishiyang chemical and pharmaceutical base, Shangyu fine chemical park, chemical enterprises in Nanjang River basin of , Xianchang-Xuzhou section of Xianchangjiang River, chemical enterprises in Shenjia industrial park of Xuzhou, printing and dyeing industry in east of Xiaoshen, Pingyangshuitou leather manufacturing base, galvanization industry, Changxin battery industry. 8 heavily polluted industries are listed in this renovating action, they are chemical, pharmaceutical, leather manufacturing, printing and dyeing, monosodium glutamate, cement, smelting and papermaking industries.

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY FRAMEWORK

2.5.1 Main environmental issues in Zhejiang

The water quality of river’s mainstream in Zhejiang Province is good basically. But part of the branches and the river sector flowing through towns are polluted in various degrees. The cannel, plain river network and inland rivers are polluted severely. The eutrophication phenomena exist in lakes and reservoirs. The eutrophication degreed in reservoir is lighter. The main pollution index are ammonia- nitrogen, total phosphor and BOD5 . The water quality of drinking water source in most of cities is good.

The coverage rate of acid rain in whole province reached to 92.2% in 2008, reduced by 0.4% compared with 2007. The country ecological environment is facing a great pressure. The pollution renovation task in countryside, especially for the near rural area of city, is very arduous. The solid waste, especially for the risk waste, is increasing year by year. The mass event caused by environment pollution is increased. In general, the ecological environment in Zhejiang Province is still frailty. The environmental problem already became the main factor to restrict the economic development and social stability in Zhejiang Province.

Drinking water resources protection in urban and rural areas is one of the tough environmental challenges facing the Provincial government, e.g., large portion of the Fu River remains unsafe for drinking water, i.e., water quality still below Class III of Environmental Quality for Surface Water.

In summary, urban and industrial growth in future, leading to increases in water demand and higher amounts of effluents will further degrade the quality of the Province’s waters if appropriate measures are not taken in time. Sustainable improvements in the water quality will require the treatment of wastewater released into the river systems in the Province.

2.5.2 Environmental Policies relevant to the Project

From the beginning of this century, Zhejiang provincial government issued a series of policies to commence carrying out the renovation of environmental pollution for Qiantang River Basin. Zhejiang Province began to study the pollution of Qiantang River Basin in 2001, and carried out the pollution renovation engineering for Qiantang River Basin in succession. The “811” 3-year action of environmental pollution renovation and new 3-year action of “811” environmental protection have been actualized since 2004, the renovating action of environmental pollution for 8 large water system, including Qiantang River Basin.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 2. Policy, legal and administrative framework 13

To release the pressure of social economy development to environment and resource, “Eleventh Five- year” environmental protection planning are prepared in Zhejiang Province and each city, county and district. Furthermore, the reduction target of total discharge is put forward. Chemical oxygen consumption in wastewater will be reduced by about 10%, the ammonia-nitrogen discharge will be reduced by about 15% compared with 2005 in 2010. Therein, the renovation of Qiantang River Basin pollution should be carried out according to the requirement of “the pollution renovation target should be higher than others, the renovation requirement should be much strict than others, the renovation progress should be faster than others, the renovation effect should be better than others”, Speeding up to actualize total discharge control plan of COD and ammonia-nitrogen pollutants.

In order to protect and improve economical environment in Zhehjiang Province and working hard for further raising sewage and garbage treatment level in city and town, Development Reform Commission, Construction Bureau and Environmental Protection Bureau of Zhejinag Province issue “Report on Construction planning of town sewage treatment and reusing facility of Zhejinag Province in “Eleventh Five-year” (2006 – 2010),

“Construction planning of non-harmful treatment facility for town living garbage”, putting forward the corresponding requirement on town sewage and garbage treatment. Therein, the average sewage treatment rate in province will reach to 74.59%,the non-harmful live garbage treatment in city reaches to 90%, and above 70% in town.

Furthermore, in order to improve fully the water environment quality of Qiantang River, the Working Group of Zhejinag Province in charge of renovation for environmental pollution issues “”Eleventh Five- year” planning of prevention of water pollution in Qiantang River Basin”. Up to 2010, the sewage treatment rate in city will reach to 90%, the key towns along the river should complete the construction of sewage treatment plant. The non-harmful disposal of living garbage in city should be higher than 90%, and 85% in town.

The Qiantang River Basin small town environment project is funded by World Bank. This will promote Zhejinag Province to reach the target of environmental protection planning, establish a series of “demonstrating projects” that can be copied to other regions in Zhejinag Province, and enhance environmental protection capacity.

2.5.3 Environmental quality objectives

Water Quality

General target of this project: assisting to improve the urban environmental infrastructure in small towns of Qiantang River Basin, prevent the water quality of Qiantang River Basin deteriorated and realize the water quality of Qiantang River reaching to Grade II – III standards. Therein, the tail water discharge from Chengdong sewage treatment plant second period expansion engineering of Jiande City, Chengdong sewage treatment plant of Xujiang district and Jianshan sewage treatment plant of Panan should execute the class-A standard in “Discharge standard of pollutant of town sewage treatment plant” (GB18918-2002). The tail water discharge from sewage treatment engineering (first period) in Youpu Town of Langxi City should execute class-B standard in “Discharge standard of pollutant of town sewage treatment plant” (GB18918-2002). The discharge of leachate from Meicheng landfill of Jingde City should meet the requirement on pollution control in “Standard of pollution control for living garbage landfill” (GB16889-2008).

4.3 EXISTING MAIN POLLUTION SOURCES

4.3.1 Major environmental issue of Qiantang River Basin

With ceaseless social and economical development and population growth in Qiantang River Basin, the contamination burden of Qiantang River water becomes increasingly serious. Due to unreasonable industrial structure, there is structural contamination mainly from paper-making, paper product industry, chemical raw materials and chemical product industry, and textile industry. There is no effective method to control agricultural non-point contamination,, in rural area the plan of town and village is generally backward, the layout is not reasonable, agricultural rural non-point contamination is still very serious, rural environmental infrastructure for domestic sewage and domestic refuses are insufficient and the breeding contamination is very obvious. In the basin, Quzhou City is one of husbandry and poultry contamination areas of Zhejiang and Jinhua City is a key area of aquatic culture and fertilizer loss. The rural domestic sewage fecal of animal and fowl and their-generated high-concentration sewage, aquatic culture fertilizer and loss of chemical fertilizer and pesticide during agricultural production result in overnutrition of water.

4.3.2 Urban domestic wastewater

According to “Bulletin of environmental state of Zhejiang Province of 2008”, in 2008 the total domestic sewage discharge volume of Zhejiang Province was 1.499 billion t (including town and rural domestic sewage), 9.5% higher than 1.369 billion t of 2007, and total COD discharge volume 295900 t, 1.27% lower than 299700 t of 2007. At end of 2008 in the entire province there were totally 91 sewage treatment plants of total treatment capacity 1814.92 million m3 at sewage treatment ratio 73.12% and centralized treatment ratio in sewage treatment plant 66.67%.

The particulars of sewage treatment of towns of World Bank loaned projects in Qiantang River Basin are shown in Table 4.3-1. It is clear that each of most project-involved towns is merely built with one sewage treatment plant and the centralized treatment ratio of sewage treatment plant of individual towns is greatly lower than mean provincial level.

4.3.3 Urban solid waste

With fast economical and social development, accelerated urbanization and growth of population Zhejiang Province, in the entire province the output of domestic refuses steadily grew. In 2008 the entire province reached domestic refuses treatment capacity 11.5373 million t, and had 90 refuses innocuous treatment plants, including 64 refuses hygiene landfill yards of domestic refuses innocuous treatment ratio 86.41%.

The particulars of refuses innocuous treatment of Jiande City involved in World Bank loaned project are shown in Table 4.3-2.

Table4.3-2 : List of particulars of solid refuse disposal of county/city of each sub-project locality (2008) Domestic refuses Refuses innocuous treatment Including: refuses hygiene Domestic refuses treatment Involved city innocuous treatment ratio yard (set) landfill yard/ set capacity (10000 t) (%) Jiande City 1 1 7.53 100

Though construction of town domestic refuses innocuous disposal facilities is fast developed, the innocuous treatment capacity is insufficient and the refuses landfill construction standard is backwards. In the entire province, merely a few of domestic refuse landfill yards conform to grade-I standard of hygiene landfill, most of them to grade-II or even grade-III standard or simple landfill, which results in serious secondary contamination of groundwater and air and failure to conform to “Domestic refuses landfill contamination control standard”.

Currently, refuses treatment project is difficult in sitting, and fore-phase work is highly delayed. Zhejiang Province has high population density and sensitivity of sitting pf refuses treatment project and the accidents resulted from sitting grew. Most of the towns of the entire province adopt mixed collection of domestic refuses, which is disadvantageous to development of domestic refuses classified treatment technology. Some cities/counties fail to as per state requirements establish and implement domestic refuses treatment charge system and for the cities establishing the charge system the charge standard is not established and charging is rather difficult, which restricts social, industrial and market-orientated development of town domestic refuses treatment.

4.3.4 Industrial Pollution

As per “Bulletin of environmental state of Zhejiang Province of 2008”, in 2008 the industry wastewater discharge volume of Zhejiang Province was 2.005 billion t, 0.35% lower than 2.012 billion t of 2007, and COD discharge volume was 242700t, 8.17% lower than 264300 t of 2007.

4.3.5 Rural Non Point Source (NPS) Pollution

The statistic of rural non-point source is mainly on loss of chemical fertilizer, poultry, husbandry and aquatic products. As per “11th five-year program of control of water contamination of Qiantang River Basin”, in the entire Qiantang River Basin from agriculture non-point source COD discharge volume was 53986.69t, ammonia-N discharge volume 42653.6t, total P discharge volume 5600.87 and equivalent contamination load 14585.18. In the cities/counties, Zhuji City is the highest water contaminants discharge equivalence load from agriculture non-point source, 3748.05, Xiaoshao District, the second 1641.44, Hangzhou downtown, the lowest 157.86.

4.5 SUMMARY OF ZSTEP ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF SITES

Summarily, information and data presented provides the facts of the environmental setting of the cities where the projects are proposed:  Qiantang River is the biggest river of this province. In this province the basin area is about 35500km2, accounting for 36.2% total land area of the province. In Qiantang River Basin there are many towns, the population is highly centralized and its total population accounts for 32% of total population of the province. Qiantang River Basin is a fast economical-developed area in Zhejiang Province and its GDP accounts for about 35.3% of total GDP of the entire province. Not high sewage treatment ratio and arbitrary discharge of sewage of small towns are the key factor for urban contamination. Hence, construction of sewage treatment plant and necessary sewage pipe net will improve water environment of each sub-project’s city, and mitigate contamination load of main streams and branches of Qiantang River.  Zhejiang Province is rich in ecological resources. Qiantang River Basin is rich in fish resources, and has 29 special fishes, diversified vegetations and 37 types of state grade-II and -III rare preserved plants. In any construction range of sub-project there is no rare animals, plants and famous ancient tree.  In addition, perfect environmental infrastructure will make small towns more investment and residences, improve the environmental infrastructure, render them small towns sustainable services in sewage, water supply and solid wastes disposal, and directly increase the economical and social development level and people’s living level.  As for social aspects, investigation of the baseline condition shows that the safeguard of minority ethnic communities and historical cultural properties are not problematic issues in the project-related areas. The resettlement of residents and losses of prime agricultural land occur in most cases, resulting from land acquisition when building WWTPs and landfill.

But potential unfavorable environmental impact is also possible to the residents living near the sewage disposal plant and waste landfill, if the waste landfill and sewage disposal plant discharge disorderly the odorous gases (NH3, H2S) produced in operation process, it will impact greatly the living environment of surrounding villagers. Currently, in the location selection of sewage disposal plant and waste landfill, in order to avoid the potential environmental impact, usually, buffer zone is required to be established around the facilities (sewage disposal plant and waste landfill) (namely, set up the sanitary protection distance), for preventing such facilities to pollute and make health impact on the surrounding residents. In accordance with the Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill of Domestic Waste (GB16889- 2008) (implemented since July 1st, 2008) issued jointly by Ministry of Environmental Protection and General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China, the location of domestic waste landfill and its distance to surrounding residents shall be determined according to the conclusion of environmental impact assessment, and approved by local environmental protection administration; according to the environmental assessment report of this waste disposal subproject, its atmospheric protection distance is 500m. After the air estimation result analysis, at 500m away from the landfill buffer zone, the impact of planned waste landfill on surrounding environment is insignificant. The waste landfill will take mosquito, fly prevention and deodorization at any time during the operation period according to the site and meteorological conditions, for reducing the environmental impact as much as possible. In addition, the similar regulation is also applicable to sewage disposal plant. The atmospheric environment protection distance determined by environmental impact assessment, is also calculated by the atmospheric guidance issued by Ministry of Environmental Protection. According to the atmospheric environment estimation in the environmental assessment report, at 150-200m away from the planned plant border, the impact on atmospheric environment is insignificant.

5.2.2 Water pollution abatement 5.2.2.1 Pollution abatement achieved by new WWTPs

The implementation of sewage category subproject (sewage disposal plant project and sewage pipeline project), the domestic sewage and industrial wastewater within the service area will be collected and disposed effectively after the construction of sewage pipeline and sewage disposal project, which is beneficial to the further reduction of pollution load in Qiantang River Basin; by estimation, the implementation of sewage category subproject may reduce 5986t/a of CODCr and 394.2t/a of NH3-N.

5.2.2.3 Reduction of pollutant loads to the environment

The implementation of sewage category subproject (sewage disposal plant project and sewage pipeline project), the domestic sewage and industrial wastewater within the service area will be collected and disposed effectively after the construction of sewage pipeline and sewage disposal project, which is beneficial to the further reduction of pollution load in Qiantang River Basin; by estimation, the implementation of sewage category subproject may reduce 13,015.9t/a of CODCr and 597.87t/a of NH3-N. 5.2.2.4 Expected improvement of surface water quality

The expected improvement of river water quality has been predicted with one-dimension dilution and assimilative models, conclusions are described as follows:

JIANDE CITY CHENGDONG WWTP

When on normal drainage, the water quality at power plant bridge section (CODCr is 2.92mg/L, NH3-N is 0.026mg/L, TP is 0.017mg/L) is taken as background value, based on the guarantee rate 90% in dry season, the CODCr concentration at 20m in lower reaches of the outfall can reach the water standard of Category II, the NH3-N concentration at 40m in lower reaches of the outfall can reach the water standard of Category II, and the TP concentration at 20m in lower reaches of the outfall can reach the water standard of Category II.

When on abnormal drainage, the water quality of power plant bridge section (CODCr is 2.92mg/L, NH3- N is 0.026mg/L, TP is 0.017mg/L) is taken as the background value, based on the guarantee rate 90% in dry season, the CODCr concentration at 60m in lower reaches of the outfall can reach the water standard of Category II, the NH3-N concentration at 200m in lower reaches of the outfall can reach the water standard of Category II, and the TP concentration at 120m in lower reaches of the outfall can reach the water standard of Category II. QUZHOU CITY CHENGDONG WWTP

Currently, although the sewage pipeline of Qujiang New City Area is laid, the sewage is eventually drained directly to the Qujiang River together with the rainwater due to lack of sewage disposal plant. The environmental impact of directly drained wastewater without disposal is much greater than the impact of drainage after normal disposal; the CODCr impact degree is 4 times of drainage after normal disposal; NH3-N impact degree is about 10 times of drainage after normal disposal. Therefore, the emission of pollutants can be reduced effectively if the sewage is drained after disposal, and it may improve the nearby water of Qujiang River to a certain degree.

5.3.2 Impact on historical and cultural heritage

So far, confirmed by the local municipal, county cultural bureau and site investigation, except for the Lanxi City Youbu ancient cultural heritage project, no significant historical or cultural relics are discovered in the occupation area of other subprojects.

But in consideration of possible cultural relics discovered in the project construction process, the environmental management program of each subproject shall present detailed mitigation measures for avoiding the unfavorable impact on the cultural relics.

5.3.3 Impact on ecology 5.3.3.1 General

The project will not involve any destruction of valuable natural land. The selected project sites have no particular ecological value.  No forest clearing;  No destruction of area known for sheltering protected or threatened biodiversity;  No encroachment into a protected area as a nature reserve or wetland; 5.3.3.2 Vegetation clearing during construction

During the construction period of sewage pipeline, some trees along the streets will be removed, and the urban landscape will be impacted. In addition, the land occupation and excavation during construction of sewage disposal plant, waste landfill and pump station will permanently damage the surface vegetation. The previous crops and natural vegetation will be replaced by sewage disposal plant, waste landfill, various facilities of road and other facilities. But the project site investigation shows that there is no any protected plant in the appointed project place to be temporarily or permanently damaged.. 5.3.3.3 Aquatic ecology of rivers

The drainage of industrial and domestic sewage, waste disposal and serious soil erosion, will impact the land/ aquatic ecological environment to some degree, mainly manifest in blocking of water passage by sludge, water eutrophication, algae floating, abnormal water color and odor spread etc.

According to investigation, the waters which are mainly related in the construction process of all subprojects include Wuxie River, Xinfan Creek, Xin’an River, Shangshan Creek, Anwen Creek, Xiajia Creek, Qujiang River and Fuchun River etc; the suspended substance will increase in the nearby rivers when the construction approaches the above mentioned waters. The use and maintenance of construction machinery might result in risk of petroleum leakage or overflow pollution, but the estimated pollution of construction action to aquatic environment is insignificant.

5.3.4 Visual Impact

According to analysis, the subprojects which cause the major visual impact are mainly the sewage disposal plant subproject and waste landfill subproject. There will be potential visual impact and negative effect to the surrounding environment when the sewage disposal plant is completed. The land use nature, ecological landscape and visual effect will be changed when the waste landfill subproject is completed, and cause certain impact.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation 81

Besides, the visual impact of Youbu Town will be greatly improved when the construction project of Lanxi City Youbu Town old town infrastructure is completed, and there will be potential landscape effect.

5.3.5 Major mitigation measures 5.3.5.1 Mitigation measures to land acquisition and utilization  Optimize reasonably the construction plan, for reducing the impact of temporary land occupation, and reduce the occupation period as much as possible.  If the urban construction is constructed in the same place of pipeline, the planning and construction shall be done at the same time, for reducing the impact period.  The construction contractor must consider minimizing the temporary land occupation and appropriate recovery, and make it a part of the environmental management program (EMP). 5.3.5.2 Mitigation measures to historical and cultural impact Whenever cultural relic is discovered during the project construction process, the following mitigation measures shall be taken:  The project construction shall be approved by local cultural relic department;  The constructors shall understand the state cultural relic protection law and relevant policy, and take protective measures in the place where cultural relic is discovered.  The construction contractor shall get compulsory training according to the relevant requirements of environmental management program, including the knowledge of cultural relic protection.  The construction must stop immediately and it shall be reported to cultural relic department whenever cultural relic is discovered.  Further investigation shall be carried out and proper measures shall be taken whenever cultural relic is discovered.  The construction cannot be continued until the site is checked and approved by authoritative department and experts. 5.3.5.3 Mitigation measures to ecological impact  Any deforestation or transplantation shall be registered, and appropriate plants shall be compensated when the land is flattened, for making green belt.  The construction site and construction action will be supervised by construction supervision company or environmental supervision unit; land cleaning and vegetation removal can only be carried out in the approved land and project construction site. Any land encroachment, including the temporary land occupation out of the land occupation program determined by feasibility report will be strictly restricted, for ensuring that the impact is only on the project construction site.  For compensating the impact on vegetation, at least the same quantity of plants shall be planted at both sides of the road along pipeline, and the green area with same size shall be restored.  When the waste landfill is closed, as part of the closure plan, the entire waste landfill will be greened with grass and shrubs.  Land cleaning and excavation will be arranged properly, for avoiding the rainy season, reduce the soil erosion as much as possible. When the construction must be carried out in rainy season or near sensitive water due to construction technique, flood-cutting channel must be built to drain the surface runoff directly into rivers.  The construction machinery shall be maintained regularly, for reducing the leakage of petroleum pollutant as much as possible; besides, the maintenance site shall be in the construction camp with concrete ground.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 82 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation

5.3.5.4 Mitigation measures to visual impact  Tall arbors shall be planted along the plant border for reducing the visual impact of sewage disposal plant as much as possible; the roads in the plant shall be planted with evergreen trees and shrubs, and other area can be planted with lawn and shrubs etc, for environmental beautification. Among which, the green ratio of sewage disposal plant shall be no less than 30%.  Protect the temporary land occupation. Try to avoid deforestation in the planned construction area, vegetation restoration program will be carried out when the civil work is completed, and green belt can be formed anew by planting proper, feasible trees.

5.4 IMPACT ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION DURING CONSTRUCTION

5.4.1 Nuisances from earthworks

The ambient soil, vegetation and ecological system will be damaged if the waste slag is disposed improperly, result in soil erosion, unfavorable visual impact will be caused, and the land is occupied.

In addition, there will be a large quantity of soil excavated during the construction period of waste landfill engineering. The excavated soil will be stored as the backfill material for landfill construction afterwards. However, there might be soil erosion if the stacking yard lacks proper management.

Disturbance on entire waste landfill will damage the current situation of soil erosion, in some conditions, the accumulative impact of soil erosion of waste landfill is greatly larger than the current loss situation, result in intensification of soil erosion. The following mitigation measures shall be taken for reducing the soil erosion.

5.4.2 Impacts of traffic

During the project construction process, the traffic around the project will be influenced to some degree due to the increase of transport vehicles and road excavation caused by pipeline lying. A large number of cement, building material, soil, stone, pipe and construction machinery need to be delivered to the construction site from other places, thus increase the vehicle circulation of the region where the project is located in, but by estimation, the local traffic will not be greatly worsen, because there are existing roads with good conditions in the city zone, and the increased traffic volume due to construction will be divided by the major roads in the region, and there will be no great traffic impact, and it will only be impacted during the construction period. In rural area, the vehicle circulation of the roads is not large at all, so there will be no great traffic pressure on the existing roads; therefore, the increased traffic circulation during construction period will not cause great traffic impact on the located region.

When the construction of pipeline goes through the traffic facilities, the local transportation will be interrupted. The route of residents living along the roads will be adjusted properly by careful designing and construction schedule arrangement; consulting the traffic police, and communicate timely with the impacted people, the traffic impact will be relieved. And the impact will be reduced to some degree by providing temporary entry permission and making excavation construction on single side of the roads.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation 83

5.4.3 Impact on air quality

The impact on environmental air quality during the construction period is mainly from the fuel combustion of machinery in actions of excavation, transportation, loading and unloading etc, as well as the welding fume during equipment installation; the major pollutants include HC, NOx, CO, TSP etc. The areas with the greatest impact are located in all project construction sites, as well as along the project route and within about 100m of the transportation roads.

During the construction period, the land leveling, piling, excavation, backfilling, road construction, transportation, open stacked powder material, loading & unloading, concrete mixing, house relocation etc may produce dust. If the waste slag during the construction is not disposed or stacked properly, it will impact the surrounding environment. The dust emitted into the air may impact the environmental air quality and people’s health. Further, the waste slag will be blown by wind when dried, result in the increase of suspended particles in air. Therefore, the management on waste slag during construction shall be improved, for reducing the unfavorable impact of construction dust on environmental air quality.

As relevant investigation shows, the dust of construction site is mainly generated by the running of transport vehicles, which accounts for about 60% of the total dust volume, and also related to the road surface and speed of vehicles; generally, the impact range of dust generated by the construction site, construction road under the action of natural wind is within 100m.

Water shall be sprayed to the road surface where vehicles drive on during the construction period for preventing dust; 4-5 times a day, then dust can be reduced by 70-80%; see Table 5.4-1 for the test result of dust prevention by water spraying in construction site.

Table 5.4-1 Test result of dust prevention by water spraying in construction site Distance (m) 5 20 50 100

TSP Average concentration per hour Without water spraying 10.14 2.89 1.15 0.86 (mg/m3) With water spraying 2.01 1.40 0.67 0.60

The test result shows that spray water for 4-5 times a day for dust prevention, the construction dust can be controlled effectively, and the TSP pollution distance can be reduced to the range of 20-50m.

5.4.4 Impact of noise

The noise of project construction is mainly generated by various mechanical equipment in the construction site and the traffic noise of material transportation. The noise of construction site mainly includes the noise of construction machinery, noise of material loading & unloading, as well as the action noise of constructors. See Table 5.4-2 for the major noise source during construction period and its sound pressure level.

Table 5.4-2: Noise value of main machines (dB(A))

Equipment Type 15 m 30 m 50 m 100 m 200 m Excavator 78 72 67 61 53 Bulldozer 78 72 67 61 53 Drilling machine 89 83 78 72 66 Air compressor 75 69 64 58 52 Vibrator 76 70 65 59 53 Mixer 75 69 64 58 52 Truck 76 70 65 59 53 Truck 77 70 65 59 53

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 84 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation

The project may impact the surrounding residents to a certain degree during the construction period; in order to reduce the impact on each noise sensitive point during the construction process, the working time of construction machinery must be arranged properly in the construction operation; in particular, the machinery with strong noise such as pile driver etc is forbidden to work in night, for reducing such noise impact on nearby residents. In different construction periods, the noise of construction site shall be controlled strictly according to Noise Limits for Construction Site (GB12523-1990).

According to the local day-night noise limit, see Table 5.4-3 for the maximum noise which shall be controlled by each sound source as well as the minimum protection distance between such sources and sensitive points.

Table 5.4-3: Minimum distance required between noise source and sensitive points

Shortest distance away from source (m) Noise source Maximum noise dB(A) Daytime Night Bulldozer 95 10 100 Excavator 96 12 115 Mixer 88 8 45 Vibrator 80 4 18 Drill 105 100 Prohibited

Among which, regarding some sensitive points along the major streets, such as school, hospital and kindergarten etc, the impact of construction noise on them during the project construction period is quite significant, some are near or even within the minimum protection distance listed in above table. Therefore, by estimation, the construction noise will impact the sensitive points near the construction site to some degree..

5.4.5 Water environmental impact

The wastewater during construction period includes construction wastewater and domestic sewage. The construction wastewater mainly includes the concrete casting and machinery maintenance wastewater, sand-gravel material wastewater, machinery and vehicle cleaning wastewater. Although the wastewater volume is not big during the construction period, it may still impact the surrounding water environment greatly if it is drained directly without any disposal.

In particular, the construction camp in the suburb area of construction site of waste landfill and sewage disposal plant will also produce domestic sewage. According to the estimation on site personnel, the daily wastewater volume is about 10-15m3. It will also cause environmental pollution if it is drained without any control.

In the construction period, hazardous chemicals will be stored and used. The major ones with large use quantity are engine fuel, engine oil and hydraulic fluid. Paint and solvent will also be used. There will still be risk of leakage. So, it might permeate into the ground or nearby rivers if it is not treated properly.

5.4.6 Impact of solid waste

Large number of sludge, residue soil (including the residue soil of demolished old buildings), soil of ground excavation, leftover waste material of construction as well as the domestic waste of constructors will be produced in the construction site during the construction period.

Most of the waste soil, remained soil of relocation can be carried to local waste landfill for landfill treatment; the solid waste produced in the construction period will be greened after centralized landfill and soil covering, and it will not impact significantly the environment.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation 85

5.4.7 Construction Safety The construction site will cover a very large area (each subproject is related to 10km2 pipeline) because it is related to the pipeline system. The construction sites of waste landfill and sewage disposal plant which are located in rural area cannot be fully closed to local residents. Therefore, the operation of construction equipment, excavation of foundation pit, storage of construction material might cause hidden danger to the people; in particular, the school children are with strong curiosity, but lack of awareness of self-protection. In addition, the risk will be higher if the foundation pit, ditch are constructed or excavated in night and with poor visibility.

5.4.8 Major mitigation measures 5.4.8.1 Mitigation measures to soil erosion  The waste soil must not be put in the farm or the area which is sensitive to soil erosion. The stacking point must not be set near any river, for preventing the soil erosion caused by strong surface runoff in rainy days.

5.5 IMPACT ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION DURING CONSTRUCTION - OLD TOWN INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENT

5.5.1 General The old town infrastructure construction type project in this project is only one, namely the old town infrastructure construction project of Lanxi City Youbu Town; the construction content is related to the laying of infrastructure such as sewage pipeline and roads, restoration of old town road surface, as well as the renovation and landscape construction of the town creek. The environmental impact of old town infrastructure project during construction period mainly includes water environmental pollution, air pollution, noise impact , vibration impact as well as the impact on cultural relics or ancient architecture..

5.5.2 Impact on water environment

The major water pollution source of old town infrastructure construction project is the sewage pipeline and road paving, restoration and maintenance of ancient street surface, as well as the construction wastewater generated from creek renovation, and the domestic sewage produced by constructors.

Because most of the construction of sewage pipeline and the road restoration is carried out in the constructed urban area, the constructors may use the existing living facilities near the construction site; temporary living facilities will no be set in the pipeline construction site, the domestic sewage will be drained into the existing urban pipeline, and it will never impact the surface water environment. The construction wastewater is mostly produced from the concrete mixing, washing of vehicles and other machinery, as well as maintenance of machinery etc; the major pollutants include SS, petroleum. The direct drainage of construction wastewater will impact the surface water quality to some degree if it is not disposed.

5.5.3 Impact on atmospheric environment

Because the construction area of pipeline and roads paving, road restoration and creek renovation is mostly surrounded by residential areas, there are many environmental sensitive points, the noise during construction period will impact the surrounding environmental sensitive points to some degree. Therefore, the schedule of various construction machinery in construction work shall be arranged properly, for reducing the impact of construction noise on nearby residents; night time construction is strictly forbidden, for avoiding the impact of construction on residents’ normal rest. Meanwhile, the location for placing the equipment shall be carefully chosen, try to use the noise reduction function of natural conditions such as surrounding vegetation, thus reduce the noise impact during construction period to the least.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 88 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation

5.5.4 Impact on noise environment

For the area of pipeline laying and ancient architecture, ancient bridge, road construction is mostly surrounded by residential areas, there are many environmental sensitive points; the noise during construction period will impact the surrounding environmental sensitive points to some degree. Therefore, the schedule of various construction machinery in construction work shall be arranged properly, for reducing the impact of construction noise on nearby residents; night time construction is strictly forbidden, for avoiding the impact of construction on residents’ normal rest. Meanwhile, the location for placing the equipment shall be carefully chosen, try to use the noise reduction function of natural conditions such as surrounding vegetation, thus reduce the noise impact during construction period to the least.

5.5.5 Construction vibration impact on the heritage or ancient buildings

Construction vibration include drilling, pile driving, hammering, excavators, and air compressor runs, backfill compaction and other construction activities in the vibration. General construction work of vibration is usually less than 30m away from the vibration source.

Since the Jiefang Street, Zhongshan Street road construction and sewage pipe network are near to the three bridges or the ancient buildings, there will be some vibration, If the project involves construction of bridges, ancient buildings or the construction of the section from the closer point to consider ways to reduce vibration, the vibration impact to the old bridge or the old buildings will be little.

5.5.6 Impact on cultural relics, landscape

The project construction is related to the restoration of old town road surface including the Jiefang Street, Zhongshan Street, and branch roads of old town block etc, make it a key scenic spot of the ancient Youbu Town in Lanxi City; besides, the renovation of old town creek is also related to the four ancient bridges on the town creek, namely Yongji, Yongfu, Yongan and Taiping. It shall be implemented strictly in accordance with the Law of the Peoples Republic of China on Protection of Cultural Relics and Rules for the Implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics during the construction period, and construct strictly according to the planning and design, the engineering will never cause unfavorable impact on the cultural relics or ancient architecture within the project area.

The excavated open surface made by the project construction, as well as the resulted soil erosion, the fallout of material upon transportation, dust produced by construction and so on, will impact the urban landscape to some degree, but such impact will stop when the construction is completed.

5.5.7 Major mitigation measures 5.5.7.1 Mitigation measures to water environmental impact  The construction unit shall set sedimentation tank during the construction period, so that the sewage (wastewater) produced in the construction, water accumulated in the site etc can be recycled for washing, sprinkling after sedimentation and up to the standard.  Management shall be strengthened in the construction site; try to keep the site flat; the slopes of earthwork stacking shall be smooth, for reducing the entry of falling earth into the rivers near the stacking area.  Strengthen the environmental management, prevent the pollution caused by either the leakage of construction machinery fuel, oil or the direct entry of waste oil into water.

5.7 IMPACT ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION DURING OPERATION - WWTP COMPONENT

5.7.1 General

This chapter discusses the environmental impact of sewage disposal subproject, mainly including: ① the impact of tail water drainage on the aquatic environment of lower reaches of pollutant-containing water; ② the impact of sludge treatment on surrounding environment; ③ the impact of odor gas drainage during operation period on surrounding environmental air quality; ④ the impact of equipment noise during operation period on surrounding sound environment; ⑤ the impact of accidental wastewater drainage on surrounding environment.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation 95

In addition, it analyzes the benefit of planned water supply subproject, including: ① beneficial to improvement of water quality of Qiantang River Basin, and it is eventually beneficial to the improvement of aquatic ecological environment of Qiantang River Basin; ② enhance the urban environment, improve the urban landscape; ③ improve the urban sanitary conditions, and enhance the health of citizens.

This chapter also estimates, analyzes the impact of sewage disposal plant tail water drainage on the quality of pollutant-containing water, makes mode estimation on the odor and noise of sewage disposal plant respectively by using the estimation model recommended by air, sound guidance, and analyzes the environmental impact related to sewage pump station and sludge disposal.

5.7.2 Impact on aquatic environment

The environmental project of small cities in Qiantang River Basin, Zhejiang is a project aiming at reducing the water pollutants of Qiantang River Basin. It will be beneficial to reducing the pollution load of Qiantang River water system when the project is completed, beneficial to the improvement of water environment. According to the designed disposal capacity, water intake and sewage draining standard of each sewage disposal plant, the pollutant is reduced to a certain degree due to newly built sewage disposal facilities or the expansion of existing disposal facilities, see Table 5.7-1 for the reduction details of its major pollutants.

Table 5.7-1: List of pollutant reduction of each sewage disposal subproject Pollutant reduction volume

Analyzing the entire Qiantang River Basin, the construction of sewage disposal subproject will be greatly helpful to reducing the pollution load and beneficial to the improvement of water quality, but the water near the outlet of sewage disposal plant is unfavorably impacted, because there are pollutants with certain concentration in the tail water (for instance, the concentration of COD is 60mg/L, which is over 40mg/L, the standard of water Class V). See Table 5.7-2 for the details of receiving water of each sewage project. Table5.7-2 : List of receiving water situation near each sewage disposal subproject City/county Receiving water/ Hydrological parameters Mixing length (m) Jiande City Xin’an River /69.3 m3/s 5581 Quzhou City Qujiang River/112 m3/s 1449 Pan’an County Xiajia Creek /0.9m3/s 956 Lanxi City Qujiang River/141 m3/s 5588

The tail water discharged by sewage disposal plant will form a pollution zone at the lower reaches of sewage outfall. The model estimation in the environmental assessment report of each subproject shows that the pollution zone may extend for several kilometers from the discharge point to the water quality datum section. Some pollutants in the impacted water, i.e. COD, are higher than the background concentration. There are no major sensitive water areas in the impacted zone such as water intake port.

5.7.3 Impact on sludge

If the collection, transportation and treatment of sludge produced from the operation process of sewage disposal subproject is improper, it will impact the air environment, groundwater and surface water to some degree. Therefore, the sludge produced from the sewage disposal plant must be disposed properly. In the wastewater sub-projects EIA reports are to be focused on the sewage treatment plant sludge dewatering treatment plant used by the car shipped to the local landfill for proper treatment, essentially no impact on the surrounding environment.

5.7.4 Impact on atmospheric environment

The odor produced from the sewage disposal process is the major factor of impact on air quality, the H2S, ammonia produced from aeration tank, oxidation ditch, sludge concentration tank are the major components of odor. The discharge of odor pollutants belongs to disordered discharge. Its discharge shall meet the standard Class II in the Emission Standards for Odor Pollutants (GB14554-1993). The limit of odor pollutant of sewage disposal plant discharged disorderedly at plant boundary shall also accord with the Emission Standards for Odor Pollutants (GB14554-1993); see Table 5.7-3 for details of specific indexes. Table 5.7-3 : Standard value of odor pollutant at plant boundary Unit: mg/m3

Pollutant H2S CH3-SH C2H6SC Ammonia C3H9N Limit 0.06 0.007 0.07 1.5 0.08

The odor pollution source of sewage disposal plant is mainly at the entrances of oxidation ditch, grid, sedimentation tank, concentration tank and aeration tank, its concentration is comparatively high, but the concentration is rapidly lower 100m away. Besides, the major odor producing points may be controlled selectively; for instance, the major pollution producing units can be covered at the tops, and further measures can be taken for odor pollutant elimination; and the concentration of odor pollutant can also be decreased further when the green area is expanded. The environmental assessment report of each subproject adopts the mode recommended by atmosphere guidance to calculate the sanitary protection distance of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia as less than 200m (taking the odor pollution source within the plant as the boundary). The air quality estimation of two major odor pollutants is made by simple diffusion model, and the calculation result shows that the odor pollutants impact insignificantly on the surrounding air environment. See Table 5.7-4 for the details.

5.7.5 Impact on noise environment The noise at the boundary of sewage disposal plant must accord with the standard Class II of Emission Standard for Industrial Enterprises Noise at Boundary (GB12348-2008) (60dB for daytime, 50dB for night time). The major noise source during the operation period is the operation of pump station and sewage disposal facilities, such as mud pump, sewage pump, fan and air compressor etc, the noise source intensity is generally 90-110dB. See Table 5.7-5 for details of noise attenuation, the noise is 53dB at 20m away from the pump station, it can meet the standard Class II of Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008) in daytime, but it might exceed this standard in night time.

5.7.6 Impact on industrial wastewater discharge It is popular in China to discharge the industrial wastewater into the municipal sewage pipeline, the joint discharge of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage is beneficial to the effective sewage disposal. Regarding the industrial enterprises located in the service range of sewage disposal plant, their wastewater will eventually be discharged into the sewer and conducted to the sewage disposal plant for disposal. If the industrial wastewater contains a certain concentration of heavy metal, it might cause risk on the biological disposal process aiming at the organic pollutant elimination. The pollutants with high concentration might disturb the process of biological purification; meanwhile, if the toxic substance such as heavy metal etc contained in the industrial wastewater disposed by the sewage disposal plant is over a certain standard, it may poison and kill the organism and make the biological disposal process no longer effective. In addition, because the physical and biological disposal process cannot eliminate the heavy metal in the wastewater, such heavy metal may accumulate in the sludge, and it will harm the sludge when it is accumulated to an enough concentration. By investigation, currently, the industrial enterprises in the service range of the sewage disposal subproject are mainly engaged in medicine pharmacy, food processing, paper making and mechanical processing etc, and the heavy metal concentration in their production wastewater is low. See Table 5.7-7 for the details of industrial wastewater in the service range of each sewage disposal subproject. Table 5.7-7: Industrial wastewater in the service area of sewage disposal plant Project Longyou County Jiande City Quzhou City Tonglu County Pan’an County Lanxi City Machinery, Bicycle fittings Metal products, Chemical Chemical food, paper processing, medicine industry, paper Plastic industry, making, chemical Major enterprises pharmacy, paper making, processing textile, cement bamboo & industry, textile, making, textile, building wood food processing food processing material, textile processing Wastewater volume of major 91990 90500 49100 16600 14030 enterprises (m3/d) CODcr 300, CODcr 300, SS CODcr 300, SS CODcr 300, SS CODcr 300 , SS BOD 150, SS CODcr 250, SS Water quality after pre- 220, NH2-H 25, 150, NH2-H 25, 150, NH2-H 25, 220, NH2-H 25, 200, NH2-H 150, NH2-H 20, treatment (mg/L, except pH) TP, 1.0, pH=6- TP, 1.0 mg/L, TP 1.0, pH=6- TP1.0, pH, 6-9. 20, PO4-P 3, TP 1.5, pH=6-9. 9. 50, pH=6-9. 9. pH 6-9. Industrial wastewaterwater proportion in intake water 45 50 35 20 50 40 (%) In addition, according to the requirement of Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978- 1996), the pollutants such as mercury, chromium, cadmium, lead etc are classified as pollutant Class I, they must be discharged after treatment in workshop and meet the standard. Therefore, when it is ensured that the heavy metal in industrial enterprises’ wastewater is disposed in the workshop and meets the standard according to the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-1996), generally, the heavy metal content in the industrial wastewater will not impact the disposal process of sewage disposal plant.

5.7.7 Impact on sewage pump station The sewage disposal subproject mainly include the sewage pump station construction related to the 2nd phase expansion engineering of Jiande City Chengdong Sewage Disposal Plant, sewage pipeline engineering of Pan’an County Yunshan Block, engineering of Pan’an County Jianshan Sewage Disposal Plant, engineering of Tonglu County Jiangnan Town sewage pipeline. The sewage pump station will produce noise during normal operation period, the source intensity is about 85-90dB. The sewage pump in the pump station is usually set as semi-underground, and after the noise reduction measures, it is estimated that the noise can meet the relevant standard in Emission Standard for Industrial Enterprises Noise at Boundary (GB12348-2008) when it is sheltered by pump house and attenuated by distance.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation 99

In addition, the odor gas emitted disorderedly by the pump station grid well might impact the surrounding environment to some degree.

5.7.8 Impact on the sewage treatment plant

The sewage treatment subprojects also include Longyou, Pan’an County, Tonglu subprojects, all of them are the pipe network project. Longyou, Pan County(yunshan & shenze), Tonglu subprojects will collect sewage respectively to the Longyou Chengbei sewage treatment plant, Pan’an County sewage treatment plant and Tonglu County sewage treatment plant. The description of those sewage treatment plant is shown in Table 5.7-8.

Table 5.7-8 : The description linked work of sewage treatment plant No. subproject Linked work Description located the north of Longshan road in Longyou Industrial Park, west of the mohuan river,In July 2008, Zhejiang Development and Reform Committee ([2007]565) approved the feasibility study report of Longyou County Chengbei sewage treatment plant.

Outlet water quality conforms to criteria for Grade I of “Sewage comprehensive discharge standard (GB8978-1996)”. Longyou Industry Park Longyou County Longyou Wastewater Administration Committee and Longyou Chengbei sewage treatment Co., Ltd. signed BOT 1 Chengbei sewage Collection chanchise rights agreement for period of 28 years on 28 June 2009. Currently, this project is under treatment plant construction stage. Longyou County Chengbei sewage treatment plant was started in December 2009 and is scheduled to complete and put into operation in October 2010. Currently, Chengbei sewage treatment plant builds accession roads and enclosure walls and levels ground. The EA was approved by Environmental Protection Department of Zhejiang Province (ZHJ [2008] 8) on 18 January 2008. Pan’an Wastewater Located north of Pan County, the total size of 30,000 tons / day; a scale of construction is 1.5 2 Collection (Yunshan) Pan’an County million tons / day, on August 20, 2007 completion of the project, October 30, 2007 formally put into sewage treatment operation . The project of sewage treatment process using SBR method, the tail water discharge Pan’an Wastewater 3 plant standards, "municipal wastewater treatment plant emission standards" (GB 18918-2002) 1(B) Collection(Shenzhe) standard of the sewage treatment plant now operating normally. Located in the south of Baiyunyuan Road inTonglu Economic Development Zone, a designed capacity of 20,000 tons / day, put into operation in January 2005, the actual processing capacity of Tonglu County Tonglu Jiangnan Town 14,200 tons / day, in March 2006 inspection by the EIA; second phase started in September 2006 4 sewage treatment Wastewater Collection the building of new sewage treatment scale 40,000 tons / day, the implementation of "municipal plan wastewater treatment plant discharge standard of pollutants" (GB18918-2002) 1(B) standards, has completed test operations in state.

From Table 5.7-8, It is shown that those sewer network to collect sewage works will collect the sewage to nearby sewage treatment plant, which the sewage effluent are the main sewage,so those treatment plants will not be a negative impact on operations.

5.7.9 Major mitigation measures 5.7.9.1 Mitigation measures to water environmental impact

5.8 IMPACT ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION DURING OPERATION - SOLID WASTE COMPONENT

5.8.1 Nuisances to residents from waste collection and transport

The work of waste collection and transportation system of the landfill during operation period is to collect, transfer and transport the separate waste, its environmental impact mainly manifests on the noise of collection and transportation equipment, odor gas as well as the environmental impact of washing wastewater of waste transfer station.

The noise of waste transfer station comes from the waste compression, lifting device, exhaust fan and vehicle transportation, the noise source intensity is between 80-85dB(A). The waste compression transfer is operated in the transfer room, the transfer room is shielded by brick walls on three sides, and there is only one side open upon operation for the waste transportation vehicles to load waste. Because there is no equipment producing high intensity noise at the waste transfer station, furthermore, the transfer quantity of waste transfer station is usually small, and the operation time is short, so the unfavorable environmental impact of the noise of collection station can be controlled effectively if night time operation is avoided and the collection station is in a certain protection distance to the surrounding residential area upon construction.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 102 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation

In addition, because most of the waste transfer stations are located in city zone, the noise of waste transportation vehicles, loading machinery etc will surely impact the surrounding environment to some degree, but the impact is temporary and limited, and the degree is insignificant.

Because the waste transfer station handles the waste everyday, the waste stays at the collection station for a short time, the emission volume of odor is small. The environmental pollution caused by odor can be reduced if the waste collection station keeps a certain distance to the surrounding buildings upon construction and exhaustion treatment is taken on odor gas. In addition, the environmental impact of odor during transportation is also insignificant because the waste transportation vehicles are sealed.

The major components of wastewater discharged after the washing of collection station are SS, COD etc; it can be discharged into the environmental water or municipal sewage disposal plant when it is collected, treated and meets the water pollutant discharge limit specified in the Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site of Municipal Solid Waste (GB16889-2008). Therefore, the wastewater of waste transfer station will not impact the environment.

5.8.2 Nuisances to residents from landfill sites 5.8.2.1 Noise landfill site operation

The major noise source in the site area of waste landfill is produced by the transportation and operation of compactors, bulldozers and the waste dump trucks accessing the landfill everyday. The waste compactors and bulldozers work with movement, the noise of transportation vehicles is mostly produced in certain periods, and they are all in daytime. According to the requirement of waste landfill location selection, there shall be no resident gathering points in short distance around the site area, and there will be no new sensitive points planned within 500m sanitary protection distance of the plant boundary, therefore, it can be considered that the noise impact during landfill operation process on surrounding environment is insignificant.

But according to the requirement of standard discharge, the enterprises shall make sound proof, noise reduction on the fixed sound sources such as pump and fan; meanwhile, maintain and repair the waste transportation vehicles as well as landfill operation machinery regularly, for reducing the impact of abnormal noise. 5.8.2.2 Odor

The municipal domestic waste is a major odor source; along with the decomposition of waste, it emits various odorous substances. The odorous pollutants in the domestic waste landfill gas are mainly H2S, N3H and a little methylmercaptan etc, account for about 0.2%-1.4% of the total landfill gas. Such odorous pollutants make people feel uncomfortable when they act on human olfactory sensory cells. People will suffer from some functional diseases including anorexia, insomnia, memory deterioration and dysphoria etc when they live in the environment polluted by odor for a long time. In order to ensure the health safety of residents, the safety protection distance between residential area and the landfill site shall be at least 500m, the residents within 500m from the landfill site need to be relocated. In addition, the green plants planted in the landfill can absorb some odor gas, which may reduce the environmental impact of odor to some degree.

Therefore, as long as the relevant construction standard and technical code of landfill are strictly observed for landfill construction, the odorous gas produced by waste landfill will hardly impact the major environmental protection objects, namely the residential points surrounding the waste landfill.

5.8.2.3 Pest development

Solid waste may attract a lot of flies, rats and insects, and the waste leachate produced during decay and decomposition will also grow mosquitoes and other disease microorganism, it is a potential disease transmission source; if the management is improper, the safety and health of nearby people and animals will be impacted. Therefore, mosquito and fly prevention, rat elimination and disinfection shall be made regularly or momentarily according to the site and weather conditions, for preventing the pests from harming the people and animals.

5.8.3 Impacts associated to landfill operation 5.8.3.1 Leachate impact from landfills

The wastewater in the process of waste landfill is mostly the waste leachate; because it contains some organism with high concentration, such as CODCr,BOD5, ammonia nitrogen, and there might be also harmful components such as colifrom community, heavy metal ions, odor pollution; therefore, it may deteriorate the quality of pollutant-receiving water if the leaked waste leachate enters into the natural water, result in death of aquatic organism; it may cause death or yield reduction on surface vegetation if it enters into the soil stratum, and it may cause groundwater pollution if it enters into the groundwater; and its impact is long time or even permanent. The leakage ways of waste leachate are mostly the two: underground leakage caused by improper anti-seepage measures or damage of anti-seepage layer as well as leakage of adjusting tank overflow. 5.8.3.2 Risk of explosion of landfilled gas

The landfill gas is the mixed gas produced by domestic waste during landfill disposal process, whose organic waste gas is anaerobically degradated; its major components are CH4, CO2, H2, N2 and O2, and some trace gases, such as H2S, NH3, heptane, octane, vinyl chloride etc. The disordered discharge of landfill gas will cause many environmental problems; for example, the contained CH4 with high concentration is a combustible gas, according to its property, if it occupies 5-15% of the volume in mixed gas, it will ignite itself or explore when meeting with a fire source, thus influence the safety of surrounding people and animals; so it is a potential explosion source, and also an important greenhouse gas. Besides, the potential harm of odor gases such as H2S, NH3 to human can also not be disregarded. Poor ventilation in the site, the methane gas fails to diffuse in time or a large quantity of methane gas accumulated due to the failure of discharge guidance system in the dump are the key reasons for the self-ignition or explosion of methane gas.

5.8.4 Closure of existing landfill

(1) Analysis of existing landfill leachate water quality

Analysis of the previous article, The project involves the closure of three existing landfill,including Xiaya landfill, Meicheng jiuwu landfill, Yangcunqiao Landfill.

According to monitoring results, The three landfills leachate quality are specifically shown in Table 5.8-1. Table 5.8-1 The list of three landfills leachate quality TP NH -N COD TN No. Site pH 3 Cr (mg/L) (mg/L) (mg/L) (mg/L) 1 Xiaya landfill 7.02 0.288 14.9 206 25.6

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 104 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation

From Table 5.8-1, Yangcunqiao landfill leachate has higher concentration, The main exceeded indicators are CODCr, NH3-N, TN, the ratio of standard values were 6.5,2.3,5.1; Xiaya Landfill leachate indicators above the standard is CODCr, its value than the standard 2.1; Meicheng jiuwu landfill leachate indicators basically meet "Solid Waste Landfill Pollution Control Standard" (GB16889-2008) corresponding standard. (2) Analysis of existing landfill groundwater quality Jiande Environmental Monitoring Station have monitored the underground water of Xiaya Solid waste Landfill, Yangcunqiao Soild waste Landfill and Meicheng Jiuwu Solid waste landfill. The result has been showed in Table 5.8-2. Table 5.8-2 water quality of the underground water from Xiaya、Yangcunqiao、Meicheng Jiuwu Solid Waste Landfill Underground Underground Water quality Underground water water of Num water of Meicheng standards of the category character of Xiaya Solid Yangcunqiao ber Solid Waste underground water Waste Landfill Solid Waste Landfill Level Ⅲ Landfill uncolored、 1 pH 8.33 8.12 8.24 6.5~8.5 clear uncolored、 2 NH3-N 0.085 0.132 0.075 ≤0.2 clear Volatile uncolored、 3 0.005 0.006 0.005 ≤0.002 hydroxybenzene clear Coliform uncolored、 4 >24000 >24000 >24000 ≤3.0 (unit/L) clear uncolored、 5 T-Pb(mg/L) <0.001 <0.001 <0.001 ≤0.05 clear uncolored、 6 Cu(mg/L) <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 ≤1.0 clear uncolored、 7 Mn(mg/L) <0.01 <0.01 <0.01 ≤0.1 clear uncolored、 8 Zn(mg/L) <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 ≤1.0 clear uncolored、 9 T-Cd (μg/L) <0.0001 <0.0001 <0.0001 ≤0.01 clear uncolored、 10 Fe(mg/L) <0.05 <0.05 <0.05 ≤0.3 clear uncolored、 11 T-Hg (mg/L) <0.00005 <0.00005 <0.00005 ≤0.001 clear uncolored、 12 T-As (mg/L) 0.00328 0.00415 0.00322 ≤0.05 clear uncolored、 13 CODMn(mg/L) 3.85 4.39 3.74 ≤3.0 clear Note:The bold and italic means over the standard. From Table 5.8-2, the underground water quality could satisfied the Underground Water Quality Standard (GB/T14848-93) except a few categories in Xiaya, Yangcunqiao and Meicheng Jiuwu Solid Waste Landfill, like the Coliform and CODMn Index.

The main reason that caused Coliform and CODMn Index exceed the standard is because the three Solid Waste Landfills are all simple landfill plants, the leakage of the solid wastes would have effect on the underground water quality. Due to these simple landfill plants do not have leakage prevention steps, the leakage might impact the underground water,this project designer consider to close these three existing simple solid waste landfills which will based on the FSR. The main tasks are gas transmit project, leakage recycle treatment project, landfill closure project which are used for avoiding or reducing the bad effects on the atmosphere, underground water and surface water by the landfill plants.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 5. Environmental impact Assessment & Mitigation 105

When closing the existing solid waste landfills, set catchwater facilities around the storeroom; set perforation canals to help releasing the methane gas; close and overlay the landfill area. After doing these measures, it will greatly improve the environment around the solid waste landfills, effectively reduce the amount of the leakage, and keep the methane exploding accidents away. This scheme has a high maneuverability, the investment has already been put into the project’s total investment. Thinking from the EIA point of view, after the existing solid waste landfills taking the closure scheme into account based on the FSR, the environment around the landfill plants will get improved ultimately. However, we have to add vertical leakage prevention facilities and monitoring wells around the plants, collecting the leakage from the existing landfill plants, treat them in the solid waste leakage treatment station, released it when it satisfied the standard, all of these are based on the existing scheme which is taking the probabilities of the underground water and soil contaminant by the leakage into consideration. To sum up the above analysis, this project will close the existing landfill plants (Xiaya, Yangcunqiao and Meicheng Jiuwu Solid Waste Landfill) according to the above-mentioned requirements. After the closure, the natural water will be isolation to get into the range of the original landfill places, although some little amount of water could enter into the solid wastes as some engineering reasons, the leakage will mainly produced by the ferment decomposition of the domestic solid wastes in the plants, by some amount of time, the producing amount of the leakage and the concentration of the pollutants will be in a downtrend, the concentration of the organic pollutants and NH3-N will become less and less, the bio-chemical ability will be declined, the value of BOD/COD might be less than 0.1. Besides, after adding the vertical leakage prevention facilities, the underground water contaminants from the leakage will be reduced. Moreover, the area’s ecological environment will be improved by the afforestation after the landfill plants closure project.

5.8.5 Soil Borrow for Landfilling The earthwork excavation in earth drawing field, earthwork stacking of waste soil will destroy the original ground surface structure, the original surface vegetation is removed, with bare slope or surface; meanwhile, the earth drawing operation will thoroughly destroy the integrity or tight structure of original rock stratum, forming tiny and loose soil, so that soil erosion may be caused by rain and gravity. 5.8.6 Major mitigation measures 5.8.6.1 Mitigation measures to water environmental impact

5.9.2 Analysis of environmental impact

Because the related road engineering is mostly the roads in towns, the road grade is not high, the vehicle speed is generally not cover 40km/h. when the project road is completed, the automobile tail gas is the major source of environmental air pollutant; the major pollutants in the tail gas emitted by motor vehicles are CO, NOx and HC. Analyze by comparing the air and noise impact of completed section of Lanxi City Youbu Town Yongxing Road on surrounding environment. The value of ground concentration contributed by pollutants in the tail gas emitted by automobile decreases as the increase of distance. The impact of the automobile tail gas produced in this project on it is insignificant. In addition, the road engineering related to this project impacts insignificantly the sound environment of villages along the route, because the vehicle circulation in the area where the newly constructed road is located in is not so big. 5.9.3 Main mitigation measures

Analysis of Alternatives

Proposal comparison Subproject Basic description Advantages Disadvantages occupation. Generally the SBR Process is without primary sedimentation tank, SBR neither the sludge recycle facilities, all disposal is completed in one tank, High equipment investment therefore, the land and investment can be saved Vertical impeller With strong resistance to impact load; Lesser architecture and aeration equipment; circulation The automation level is medium, the operation management is quite The land area of Oxidation Ditch Pan’an Jianshan Oxidation Ditch easy, lower technical requirement on operators; There is successful process is large. Town Wastewater (recommended practical experience and management technology in oxidation ditch Collection proposal) operation in the region. and Treatment Quantity of architecture and equipment A/A/O process Higher oxygen utilization rate, relatively lower energy consumption. is comparatively big, high demand on operation management.

The performance of MSBR process proposal in aspects of sludge sedimentation property, efficiency of P removal disposal, management flexibility etc is better than Orbal Oxidation Ditch, A2/O, but the MSBR is also with the disadvantages such as large quantity of and complicated equipment, big maintenance load, high reliability demand and high demand on management operation level etc; but the total investment, operation cost and land area of MSBR process proposal are lower than the Orbal Oxidation Ditch and A2/O process proposal; comparing in the aspects of technique, economy and reliability, land area of the system, civil workload, energy saving and lower operation cost etc, the MSBR process is quite superior. Therefore,Youbu Town(NewDistrict) Wastewater Collection andTreatment selects the MSBR process proposal.

The new SBR process has all the advantages of A2/O and SBR processes, so that, the quality of output water is nice and stable, with high efficiency, energy saving; the capacity for resisting impact load is high, with nice effect on nitrogen and phosphors elimination; the sludge quantity is less, and already aerobic stable; meanwhile, the improved SBR process is with great purification potential; along with the development and maturity of automatic control technology, the improvement of automatic control equipment quality, the program control during the operation procedure will be easier for control and operation. The total investment of new SBR process engineering is low; the annual power expense is low; the sludge is already aerobic stable, need no digestion; the land area is small. In summarizing the above technical and economic quantitative and qualitative analysis, it is considered that the new SBR process is with advanced technology, low investment, low operation cost. Therefore, Qujiang Wastewate Collection and Treatment takes the new SBR process.

Considering that the built project of Chengdong Sewage Disposal Plant uses the Oxidation Ditch process, and the scale of sewage disposal plant is relatively large, and comparing the processes such as Oxidation Ditch, the disadvantage of big investment on SBR equipment will make the total investment of the engineering higher than other processes; compared to A2O process, the Oxidation Ditch process has the advantages such as less architecture, easy operation management, nice disposal effect and strong impact load resistance etc. Therefore, Jiande Wastewater Collection and Treatment will still use the Oxidation Ditch process.

According to the design experience of sewage disposal plants both home and abroad, it is quite advantageous for small-scale sewage disposal plants to use the Oxidation Ditch process (mechanical aeration), it is with lesser equipment, easier and simpler operation management; moreover, there is already successful practical operation experience and management technology in Pan’an County, so, according to the disposal scale, intake water quality, land situation etc of Pan’an Jianshan Town Wastewater Collection and Treatment, the Oxidation Ditch process is recommended to the sewage disposal process of this project.

6.2.3 Alternative of Tonglu subproject

The compared proposals of Tonglu sewage subproject mainly include the two: newly built sewage disposal plant and newly built sewage pipeline; this environmental assessment makes proposal comparison in the aspects of environmental impact, actual situation of the area where the engineering is located in etc, and a proposal is finally recommended. See Table 6.2-4 for details of the proposal comparison.

The sludge treatment will easily Town cause secondary pollution; About 100m air environmental protection distance shall be set. Wastewater Collection Only need to acquire the land necessary for the pump station, about 2.268mu The Jiangnan Town block is not included in the Proposal II: newly built (1,512m2); Except for the insignificant service range of Tonglu County Sewage Disposal supporting sewage impact of sewage pump station on Plant; In the future, new sewage disposal plant pipeline engineering (2 surrounding environment, there are no might be demanded because the disposal sewage pump stations, environmental impact factors during the capacity of Tonglu County Sewage Disposal Plant 17.1km sewage pipeline)\ operation period of sewage disposal cannot meet the demand. plant; There are no environmental restriction factors.

Learned from Table 6.3-4, the proposal comparison, the Proposal I is with great environmental restriction factors because its pollutant-receiving water is the protected area of drinking water source, and there are also unfavorable factors such as land acquisition, water environmental risk etc; so that, the Proposal II is better, and it is recommended by analyzing the environmental impact.

6.3 ALTERNATIVES FOR SLUDGE DISPOSAL

6.3.1 Comparisons between sludge disposal techniques

In sewage disposal engineering, large quantity of sludge will be produced, it may cause secondary environmental pollution if it is not disposed and treated effectively. The sludge must be disposed before final treatment, for the purpose of reducing the organism content and reducing the water content, thus reduce the volume of final treatment, for the sake of transportation and treatment. The major flow of typical sewage disposal includes sludge concentration, sludge digestion, sludge dehydration and sludge treatment. 6.3.1.1 Comparison of sludge concentration technologies

Sludge concentration may primarily reduce the volume of sludge, make it smaller by times, thus provide facility to later disposal or treatment. The major sludge concentration technologies include gravity concentration, air floatation concentration and centrifugal concentration.

6.3.1.2 Comparison of sludge dehydration technologies

The water in sludge is mostly separated after concentration, its water content is generally 96%-99.6%, with the loose structure of flowing particles or flocculated substance, and its volume is still big, hard to dispose; therefore, sludge dehydration is necessary in sludge disposal and treatment. Sludge dehydration mainly refers to separating the adsorbed water and capillary water from the sludge, its volume will be reduced to 1/10 of the volume before concentration, and 1/5 of the volume before dehydration, which makes it greatly easier to treat the sludge afterwards.

At present, most of the sewage disposal plants with the similar scale in China use mechanical dehydration; the dehydration machinery includes vacuum dehydrator, frame and box pressure dehydrator, belt pressure dehydrator, centrifugal dehydrator, Screw Press dehydrator and granulator etc. among which, the frame and box pressure dehydrator, belt pressure dehydrator, centrifugal dehydrator and granulator are with certain operation experience in the sludge disposal of domestic waterworks.

Low rotation speed, no vibration, low noise; Low power consumption.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 6. Analysis of Alternatives 117

Both the centrifugal dehydrator and belt pressure dehydrator can reach the sludge mess solid content of 20-25%; among which, the centrifugal dehydrator has the characters such as clean operation environment, low workload, low dose volume, small land occupation, low cost and mature equipment available in China; therefore, the sludge dehydration disposal of this sewage disposal project will mostly use the centrifugal dehydrator, except for Pan’an Jianshan Town Wastewater Collection and Treatment which uses the belt pressure dehydrator.

6.3.2 Comparison for sludge disposal process

One challenge facing WWTPs is how to dispose of the sludge in an environmentally acceptable and financially sustainable manner. Different options can be considered based on the sludge quantity and quality, existing solid waste management system and natural condition. he sludge treatment modes popular both home and abroad are mainly as follows, see Table 6.3-3 for details.

Table 6.3-3: Comparison of sludge disposal technologies

Technology comparison Process Advantages Disadvantages With an application history of over 40 years; Widely Uses the land, waste land resource. Treatment time too long; Secondary Landfill used in European countries and China; With low environmental pollution might be caused upon improper treatment; The operation cost, rich management experience. proportion of sludge treatment by using landfill is decreasing. The necessary infrastructure investment and operation cost is high; Large quantity of poisonous and harmful substances (such as dioxin etc) will be The remainder produced by incineration is the produced during sludge incineration, hard to be effectively controlled, may least; Destroys all organism in the sludge, kills the Incineration cause air pollution; There is large content of industrial wastewater in Chinese pathogens; No odor emitted from incineration; municipal sewage, the content of organism in remained sludge is low, so the Small land occupation. heat value of burning is not high, the economic benefit of incineration treatment is poor. Save the land source, utilizes the sludge efficiently; In Europe, 30% of the sludge is utilized efficiently in The poisonous and harmful substances which are hard to be degradated, such Biological this method; The application history in USA as long as pathogens, pests, heavy metal and radioactive elements might enter into the compost as 65 years proves its technological and food chain; Because the quality of compost is poor, and the market is poor, the environmental feasibility; this technology is also operation of most compost plants is hard. applied in China. The investment for supporting equipment such as Anaerobic digestion tank, biogas recycle and storage is high; Although the Anaerobic digestion makes the Most active sludge was treated by Anaerobic Anaerobic sludge stable by biochemical reactions of various Anaerobic bacteria, the total digestion before 1980s; Kills the microorganism digestion volume is reduced by 25%, but it shall be eventually covered up. The system pathogen and produce some usable biogas. operation is complicated, with high demand on operation management; the operation cost is high, with much hidden danger. Direct drying The temperature is over 100℃, kills all pathogens. Wastes the energy, makes the treatment cost high. Comprehensive Usually used as additive for brick making, cement The quantity added is limited, so it is hard to be promoted. utilization making etc.

The biological compost is not popular in China due to the problems of quality and market. The equipment and operation cost of anaerobic digestion and direct drying is high, so they are not economically feasible. The comprehensive utilization is for the building material of brick making, cement making as well as popping material, but most of the building material enterprises refuse to accept the sludge due to worrying about its impact on quality of the building material. At present, such treatment method is hard to be promoted; there is rare successful large-scale application. At present, the most popular one is landfill.

6.3.3 Alternative Sludge disposal

According to the feasibility research report and environmental assessment report of each sewage disposal project, the actual situation of each project, as well as the current solid waste management system of each project city, every sewage disposal subproject determines the proposal of sludge treatment.

(1) Youbu Town(NewDistrict) WastewaterCollection andTreatment

The sludge of this project will generally with a water content of 75% after concentration, centrifugal dehydration, and its water content can be 60% if it is added with lime for solidification. The 1st phase engineering of project design plans to use the sanitary landfill treatment mode, deliver to the Lanxi municipal domestic waste sanitary landfill.

(2) Jiande Wastewater Collection and Treatment

According to the water quality of sludge and actual situation of Jiande City, and according to the Plan for Zhejiang Provincial Sludge Treatment as well as the sludge treatment ideas of relevant departments of Jiande City, Jiande City will construct a county level sludge treatment center in another place near the Chengdong Sewage Disposal Plant; the primarily determined sludge treatment proposal is that the sludge will be delivered to the waste landfill for sanitary landfill after semi-drying.

(3) Qujiang Wastewate Collection and Treatment

In combination with the sludge treatment development trend both home and abroad, and the actual situation of Quzhou City, this project suggests two treatment proposals; please see Table 6.4-4 for details.

Judging from the nature of the industries at the project cities/counties and the monitored industrial wastewater characteristics, it is unlikely that the sludge from the wastewater treatment will contain high levels of heavy metals or other hazardous and non biodegradable substances. There is a very weak chance it happens, nevertheless, it cannot be claimed accidents, in case of industries meet major problem for example, will never occur. Few cities, according to their huge industrial activity are more likely to encounter pollution problems (mostly Xiangfan and Hanchuan, with 7 million and 2.5 million m3 wastewater discharged per year, based on the top industrial producer in terms of heavy metals) Based on this consideration, the sludge is now planned to be disposed of in the county’s municipal solid waste landfill after dewatering. Yunmeng solid waste landfill is located north of the city about 15 km to the proposed wastewater treatment site. The additional sludge will not have significant impact to the landfill daily operation and lifespan.

Table 6.3-4 : Comparison of two sludge treatment proposals Sludge treatment Technology comparison Basic description proposal Advantages Disadvantages If the dust elimination of flue is improper, the The treatment is comparatively thorough, the incinerated flue will cause certain pollution; High Mostly incinerated, the sludge technology is advanced and reliable; Low demand on operation management level; Project Direct incineration + only remains ash and explosion-proof demand, with safe operation; investment and operation cost are high; ash, slag utilization discharged flue gas after The heat of sludge can be totally used; nice The project investment can be reasonable when incineration operation adaptability; Sanitary landfill capacity the sludge is with a certain quantity; if the scale is is unnecessary small, the unit investment of the project is too high. Most of the sludge is dried, The technology is advanced and reliable; easy the dried sludge can be operation, safe running; Without secondary Drying + sanitary sanitarily covered up, used by pollution; Fair demand on management level; The sanitary landfill needs certain capacity. landfill land or comprehensively The project investment and operation cost are utilized for brick making low.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 6. Analysis of Alternatives 119

Although the proposal of direct incineration + ash, slag utilization can thoroughly treat the sludge, but the investment is too big, and the operation cost is too high; because the scale of Chengdong Sewage Disposal Plant project is small, it is not good to treat the sludge by incineration. The proposal of drying + sanitary landfill accords with the current situation of Quzhou, the investment of such treatment proposal is economic, with low operation cost; it begins from the harmlessness, quantity reduction and resource making of sludge, to the goal of sludge treatment. Therefore, the project treatment will adopt the proposal of drying + sanitary landfill

(4) Pan’an Jianshan Town Wastewater Collection and Treatment

According to the actual situation of Pan’an County and this project, the sludge treatment of this project adopts the method that delivers the sludge after dehydration to the terrace waste landfill in northeast Pan’an County for treatment; makes it harmless, reduces the volume, for the eventual purpose of sludge treatment.

6.4 ALTERNATIVES FOR THE SOLID WASTE COMPONENT

6.4.1 Comparison of methods for municipal solid waste disposal SANITARY LANDFILL

Because neither incineration nor compost can avoid the production of certain quantity of final products, however, the disposal quantity of landfill mode is large, and it is easy to operate, truly an inevitable final treatment method of waste disposal, and also the most popular waste disposal method in China.

According to the difference of waste landfill pollution control measures, the waste landfill is classified as the two: simple landfill and sanitary landfill. The simple landfill will cause significant environmental impact due to lack of necessary pollution control measures, so it is gradually eliminated; however, the sanitary landfill can avoid effectively the secondary pollution caused by simple landfill because it takes the measures such as bottom and side anti-seepage, waste gas collection and disposal, leachate collection and disposal as well as waste surface pressing etc, therefore it becomes the major mode of waste landfill.. INCINERATION

The waste incineration refers to sending the waste as solid fuel into the waste incinerator, in the condition of high temperature, the combustible composition in the waste makes radical chemical reaction with the oxygen in air, emits heat, and it transforms to flue at high temperature and stable solid slag with small quantity. At present, the incineration technology is widely applied in some countries with developed economy..

After incineration, the bacteria, virus in the waste are thoroughly eliminated; the air with odor which is caused by waste pollution can be decomposed at high temperature in the incinerator. Therefore, the quantity reduction and harmlessness of waste can be achieved fastest and thoroughly if it is disposed by waste incineration process.

During the incineration, the heat generated by waste combustion can be recycled for utilization, the residue with stable property can be buried directly, but the ash contained in the flue shall be disposed separately as hazardous waste because of the adsorbed heavy metal and dioxin.. COMPOSTING

Waste compost refers to a kind of disposal process that makes the biodegradable organism in the waste transform controllably to stable humus by microorganism. According to the difference of oxygen supply in the compost, it can be generally classified into two: the high temperature aerobic compost and anaerobic compost. At present, the most popular one is aerobic compost technology.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 120 6. Analysis of Alternatives

The high temperature aerobic compost is that, based on controlling the water content, temperature, ventilation quantity and other process conditions of waste, make the fermentation procedure at 50-75 ℃ , so most of the degradable organism is transformed to humus with nice stability by bio- decomposition, and the contained metal and other impurities will be eliminated by crushing, screening and magnetic selection etc, then the crude fertilizer product is produced. Generally, the crude fertilizer product is with poor fertilizer effect, so the economic benefit is low. The crude fertilizer product produced by high temperature compost can be made to particle high effective organic compound fertilizer through the treatments such as gravel elimination, drying and crushing etc, and being added with certain quantity of elements including N, P, K etc for mixture granulation. Such organic compound fertilizer not only remedies the fertilizer effect insufficiency of crude fertilizer product but also avoid the land fertilizer effect decrease due to long time use of inorganic chemical fertilizer; it is a new kind and effective high quality fertilizer.

The waste compost technology may make the domestic waste to harmlessness, quantity reduction and resource utilization; but, the heavy metal content in the waste must be controlled strictly for preventing secondary pollution.

Table 6.4-1 Compares and analyzes briefly the three fundamental disposal methods including sanitary landfill, incineration and compost.

The compost product is influenced by market; 3. Beneficial to environmental protection 4. The about 20-25% final product shall be covered up. 4. With low investment

The following conclusion can be made by comprehensively comparing the three disposal processes, namely sanitary landfill, incineration and compost:

(1) As the final treatment mode of domestic waste, the sanitary landfill technology is a guarantee method necessary to every region; meanwhile, because the investment and operation costs of waste sanitary landfill are both low, in the regions with the site resource and natural conditions for sanitary landfill, the waste sanitary landfill can be taken as a fundamental proposal of domestic waste disposal.

(2) The waste incineration can achieve most efficiently the quantity reduction of waste, but the investment and operation cost is relatively high. In the regions with developed economy, limited land resource and the heat value of waste meets the standard, the incineration disposal technology can be developed as top priority when the dioxin emission is controlled effectively.

(3) The high temperature aerobic compost of waste can make the resource utilization on waste, and the investment and operation cost is between that of the landfill and incineration disposals. But at present, in China, the acceptance of waste compost products is still low. Therefore, the application of waste compost disposal is relatively rare. In the regions with nice classified domestic waste collection, better market for compost products, the waste compost disposal can be developed as top priority, but the poisonous and harmful substances in the waste such as heavy metal must be controlled strictly.

Occupies a larger land area; Sanitary landfill For the city in mountain area, as long as the site is selected 500m of air environmental protection distance shall be set; properly for waste landfill, the waste landfill can still be There is certain odour impact and waste leachate disposal. resumed to green or forest area when it is full and closed, the impact on original land is insignificant. The heat value of domestic waste fluctuates greatly; combustion support might be needed in operation. Can meet the “3R” demand of domestic waste disposal; Possible dioxin pollution, and there is environmental risk; Incineration With small land area, can supply heat source. The final ash after incineration shall be covered up. New sanitary landfill is still needed in Meicheng Town for proper disposal of ash. At present, no market in Jiande City for compost products, there is Compost Can realize the comprehensive utilization demand on waste; market risk; The final waste of compost has to be covered up in newly built waste landfill.

6.5 ALTERNATIVE COMPARISON FOR LEACHATE TREATMENT PROCESS

Because at present, there are series of problem in China on the collection, sorting, treatment and management of domestic waste, so that the waste leachate is with the characteristics such as fluctuating water quantity and quality, complicated composition, high concentration of pollutants etc. The leachate disposal is one of the key issues and need to be solved in the environmental assessment, environmental management and engineering design of domestic waste sanitary landfill. To solve the standard disposal problem of leachate, we shall not only ensure the technical feasibility, but also consider the economic reasonability and environmental capacity. The leachate disposal proposal can only be scientifically reasonable when it is determined on the technical and environmental basis.

At present, there are mainly 3 proposals for leachate disposal both home and abroad: site circular spray disposal; sending to sewage disposal plant for disposal after in-situ pretreatment; and standard discharge in the site after in-situ disposal.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 124 6. Analysis of Alternatives

ALTERNATIVE 1: LEACHATE SITE CIRCULAR SPRAY DISPOSAL:  The circular spray is an effective proposal for leachate site disposal. The water content of waste layer can be elevated, the humidity of waste can be increased, the activity of microorganism in the waste can be enhanced, and the methane production rate as well as the precipitation of pollutants in the waste and the decomposition of organism can be faster by back spray. Secondarily, by back spray, not only the concentration of pollutants in the leachate can be reduced, but also the quantity of produced leachate can be reduced by the volatilization etc during spray, which can stabilize the water quantity and quality, beneficial to the operation of wastewater disposal system, thus save the cost. But, limited by the disadvantages such as the leachate cannot be totally eliminated, the leachate after circular spray shall still be disposed etc, as well as the environmental sanitary problems, safety and design technology problems caused by back spray, the method of leachate circular spray disposal is not popular in China. ALTERNATIVE 2: SENDING TO SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT FOR DISPOSAL AFTER SITE PRETREATMENT  Such proposal refers to collect the leachate, then firstly send it to the pretreatment facilities built in the site for pretreatment, when the pollutant load is reduced, send it to the sewage disposal plant for further disposal. Such proposal utilizes the functions of sewage disposal plant on leachate, such as buffer, dilution and nutrition adjustment etc, which can reduce the investment and operation cost of landfill, quite economy. But the precondition for such proposal is: 1, there must be municipal sewage disposal plant, and it must be near the landfill; 2, its impact load on the sewage disposal plant must be considered due to the special water quality of leachate and its change. Generally, it would be safe when the volume of added leachate is not over 0.5% of the volume of domestic sewage.. ALTERNATIVE 3: STANDARD DISCHARGE IN THE SITE AFTER IN-SITU DISPOSAL  The in-situ disposal of leachate is classified into biological method, physiochemical method and land method etc according to process characteristics. Use one of the methods or their combined process (usually the biological method is the major one), dispose the leachate in the landfill area, and discharge directly when it meets the standard. Generally, two or more disposal technologies must be combined reasonably and it can make the disposed leachate meet the discharge requirement. According to some leachate disposal facilities built currently in succession in China as well as their operation situation, the biological method is the major one. But, the operation effect of existing leachate disposal facilities is generally under the discharge standard because it lacks in China the mature engineering experience of leachate standard discharge after in-situ disposal.  According to the requirement of Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889-2008), since July 1st, 2011, all the existing domestic waste landfills shall dispose the domestic waste leachate by themselves and implement the water pollutant discharge concentration limit specified in the standard. Therefore, this project, namely Jiande City Meicheng Town Landfill plans to build a leachate collection system in the site, and send the leachate to the waste leachate disposal station built near Wumazhou Industrial Group Sewage Disposal Plant through the sewage lifting pump station and sewage transport pipeline for disposal; the adopted process is: nitrogen blowoff tower – UASB anaerobic tank - denitrification tank - nitrification tank – ultrafiltration - reverse osmosis; and the Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889-2008) will be implemented on output water quality; see Table 6.5-1 for details of concentration limit of water pollutant discharge specified in the standard.

6.6 WITH AND WITHOUT ZSTEP  Compared with the economic and environmental benefits brought by the proposal with project, the proposal without project will lead to the following results:  (1) Project of water supply category: although the proposal without project will not cause environmental pollution, but the drinking water source area cannot be protected properly, the water supply capacity of Zhuji City, Wucheng District cannot meet the demand of continuous social and economic development and ceaseless enhancement of people’s living standard.  (2) Project of sewage disposal category: the large quantity of domestic sewage and industrial wastewater produced by industrialization, urbanization and population increase is discharged directly into water without disposal, which pollutes seriously the surface water. The water quality of Qiantang River Basin deteriorates further, the drinking water, groundwater, aquatic animals and plants, fishery, agriculture as well as the health of urban residents will be threatened, and even the sustainable development of regional economy will be impacted.  (3) Project of solid waste disposal category: the collection, transportation and disposal of municipal domestic waste is with low efficiency, large quantity of waste is scattered in the environment without any disposal, which not only impacts the urban landscape, makes serious environmental pollution, but also threatens the health of urban residents  (4) Project of old town Infrastructure: Without the project ,it not only affects the town's water environment, but also, is not conducive to the improvement of living conditions of town.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 126 7. Sludge management

7. SLUDGE MANAGEMENT

In the planned environmental project of small cities in Qiantang River Basin, the subproject of sewage disposal plant will unfavorably impact the surrounding environment if the sludge produced during its operation is not treated and transported properly; therefore, this assessment takes the sludge treatment as a special chapter for comprehensive analysis.

7.1 SLUDGE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL PLAN

7.1.1 Sludge Production REMAINED SLUDGE:

As the by-product of sewage disposal plant, large quantity of remained sludge is mainly produced from the Grade II/biochemical disposal unit of sewage disposal plant. There is high concentration of pollutant in the sludge, and the sludge will cause secondary environmental pollution if it is not collected effectively and treated safely. Its solution is that the sludge quantity must be reduced, and it shall be treated safely. The produced sludge is mostly from the elimination of BOD and SS in the intake water of sewage disposal plant.

The water content of original sludge produced during the sewage disposal is as high as 98%-99%. Belt sludge dehydration is generally adopted in order to make the sludge dehydration economy and with easy operation, its sludge water content can be reduced to about 80%, even lower. The sludge slag after pressure filtration is usually transported by trucks to the waste landfill for special landfill treatment.

Large quantity of remained sludge is mostly from the sewage disposal project, the produced sludge mainly includes the sediments in the intake water of sewage disposal plant and surplus active sludge produced from sewage biochemical disposal.

Table 7.1-1 presents the estimated production of remained sludge during the operation period of sewage disposal project..

The table below shows the sludge production that is expected from WWTPs during operation.

Table 7.1-1: Expected sludge production by WWTPs

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 7. Sludge management 127

Learned from Table 7.1-1 that the sludge production quantity of the subprojects of sewage disposal plants (including the 2nd phase engineering of Jiande City Chengdong Sewage Disposal Plant, Qujiang District Chengdong Sewage Disposal Plant, Lanxi City Youbu Town Sewage Disposal Plant and Pan’an County Jianshan Sewage Disposal Plant) is totally about 22.4t/d, the water content of its wet sludge mess is around 5%, goes to about 5.60t/d dry sludge. The sludge production quantity of each sewage disposal plant before sludge disposal is between 196.7t/d-250t/d. The sludge after disposal will be stored temporarily in the site, and then transported to waste landfill for safe treatment or incineration. OTHER SLUDGE AND SOLID WASTE:

Except for remained sludge, sewage disposal plants will also produce other sludge and solid waste, such as grid slag, sludge in the sand-basin as well as domestic waste etc. according to the comparison on relevant data of sewage disposal plants in same category, the dry solid waste remained on grid is about 20%, and about 40% for the sludge in primary sedimentation tank. SLUDGE AND SOLID WASTE OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT

Except for remained sludge, the solid waste produced by gird room, such as the grid slag, sludge of primary sedimentation tank and domestic waste, shall also be disposed, transported and treated.

Table 7.1-2: Estimate of daily solid waste production from WWTPs

Bar screen waste Primary Settling Municipal solid Sludge (t/d) Total Sub-project (t/d) tank waste (t/d) waste(t/d) (wet, t/d)) Dry Wet Dry Wet Dry Wet Dry Jiande City 1.5 6 3.2 4 0.9 1.5 0 17.1 Qujiang District 1.5 6 3.2 4 0.9 1.5 0.06 17.16 Lanxi City 1.18 4.72 0.36 0.46 0.14 0.225 0.02 7.105 Pan’an County 1.48 5.68 0.45 0.55 0.18 0.27 0.02 8.63 Total 5.66 22.4 7.21 9.01 2.12 3.495 0.1 49.995

Learned form Table 7.1-2 that the above 3 sewage disposal plants produce solid waste for totally about 49.995t/d, among which the sludge will be stacked temporarily in the plant after dehydration treatment in the plant; and finally, it will be transported to waste landfill for proper treatment or incineration after drying, the domestic waste will be collected separately by local sanitation department in integration and transported to waste landfill for landfill treatment; the sludge and domestic waste will be treated by zoned landfill.

7.1.2 Sludge Treatment Process and Disposal Plan

The sludge must be disposed for stability; the sludge shall finally be treated as zoned landfill by waste landfill after stability and concentration disposal. The water content of sludge produced after sewage disposal can be as high as 98%-99%. In consideration of the easiness and economy of sludge treatment process, the sludge is usually disposed by mechanical dehydration, after dehydration, its water content can usually be 80%, even lower. Besides, according to the sludge control requirement of Pollutant Discharge Standard of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB18918-2002), the sludge of municipal sewage disposal plants shall be dehydrated, and the water content of sludge after dehydration shall be less than 80%.

According to sludge treatment technology, economic feasibility and the unique geographic conditions of the region where each sewage project is located in, the city of each sewage subproject has generally planned the sludge disposal; they all plan to use the treatment of landfill.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 128 7. Sludge management

But, if the sludge becomes hazardous waste due to the increase of heavy metal content, in law, the sludge must not be treated by sanitary landfill. If cover up such sludge in the sanitary landfill site, secondary pollution will easily be produced; besides, hazardous waste is forbidden to enter the landfill site for covering up according to relevant requirements in Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889-2008)

According to the site investigation and the environmental assessment report of each subproject on the cities of each sewage subproject, the possibility for high concentration of heavy metal in sludge which causes the sludge to be hazardous waste is quite low, mainly because: (1) in the service range of each sewage subproject, the industrial enterprises with the particular pollutant of heavy metal are less; (2) in the service range of each sewage subproject, the sewage discharge each industrial enterprise can meet the standard Grade I, which is greatly lower than the requirement of sewage piping, namely the standard Grade III.

See Table 7.1-4 for details of the sludge sanitary landfill treatment of each sewage subproject.

Considering that the heavy metal content of sludge might still increase, for solving such problem, the sludge of sewage disposal plant shall be monitored during the 1st three years of the operation of sewage disposal plants, for further confirmation on the composition and property of sludge. The monitoring mainly includes the heavy metal content test, and analyzes whether it meets the pollutant standard of Control Standard for Pollutants in Sludge from Agricultural Use (GB4284-84) for sludge’s agricultural use. If the heavy metal content in the sludge increases, leaching toxicity test shall be made. If the heavy metal content of sludge exceeds the standard limit of Identification Standard for Hazardous Wastes--Identification for extraction procedure toxicity (GB5085.3-2007), such sludge belongs to hazardous waste, and cannot be covered up directly in the waste landfill site. Such sludge needs to be transported by special trucks to the local hazardous waste treatment center. If there is no proper hazardous waste treatment center, the sludge can be treated by zoned covering up in the waste landfill site according to the code.

It shall be implemented according to the relevant requirement of Standard for Pollution Control on the Security Landfill Site for Hazardous Wastes (GB18598-2001) upon zoned covering up.

The sludge shall be dehydrated before covering up, see Table 7.1-4 for details..

7.2.2 Temporary Sludge Storage Sites Impacts and mitigation measures

According to the relevant regulations of Code for Design of Outdoor Sewerage Engineering (GB50014-2006), sludge stacking yard shall be set for storing the dehydrated sludge, the capacity of stacking yard shall be determined according to the sludge purpose and transportation conditions. Considering the uncertainty of sludge transportation and treatment, in common sewage disposal plants, the capacity for dehydrated sludge stacking yard is determined as for one week storage; the sludge might cause certain odor pollution during storage, especially in summer, it will produce certain air environmental impact.

In order to reduce the above mentioned environmental impact produced during sludge storage, the sludge temporary storage facilities shall be taken with following mitigation measures:  (1) The sludge temporary storage facilities shall be far away from the office building in the plant and other sensitive buildings of the sewage disposal plant;  (2) The temporary stacking yard shall be surrounded by green isolation belt;  (3) Build the sludge drying shed, for rain and sun prevention, and take anti-seepage measures, prevent the impact on groundwater;  (4) The sludge temporary stacking yard surface water runoff shall be built with supporting sewage collection system, for preventing or reducing the direct discharge of surface runoff with potential sludge, the sewage shall be collected to the sewage disposal system in the plant for disposal, and then be discharged when it meets the standard.

7.2.3 Sludge Transportation Impacts and mitigation measures

The dehydrated sludge with water content up to 80% will easily cause secondary pollution during its transportation from the sewage disposal plant to the sludge treatment place due to the sewage seepage. In addition, because the sludge contains some odor pollutants such as NH3, H2S, the transportation process will also cause certain impact on the sensitive points near the transportation route. Therefore, the environmental impact caused by sludge transportation is also an issue paid attention to by the sewage disposal plant in terms of environmental impact.

In order to reduce the above environmental impact caused during sludge transportation, the following mitigation measures shall be taken to the sludge transportation:  (1) Select proper sludge transportation route, try to select the route with less sensitive points, for reducing the odor impact on the transportation route;  (2) Try to use special sealed sludge transportation vehicles, and the transportation period shall avoid the peak hours of traffic.

7.2.4 Sludge Impact on sanitary landfill

At present, the currently newly built domestic waste sanitary landfills are all designed, constructed according to the relevant standard in Technical Code for Sanitary Landfill of Domestic Refuse (CJJ17- 2004), the waste leachate, landfill gas etc are all controlled by corresponding measures for pollution prevention. Besides, domestic waste landfills are mostly located in suburbs, and the sanitary protection distance of domestic waste landfills is no less than 500m. Therefore, the sludge of sewage disposal plant will not cause unfavorable environmental impact when it is dehydrated and covered up in the domestic waste landfill.

8. LEACHATE AND LANDFILL GAS MANAGEMENT

8.1 LEACHATE MANAGEMENT

8.1.1 Leachate Amount

The solid waste disposal subproject of this project is Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill engineering. According to the estimation of feasibility research report, see Table 8.1-1 for the waste leachate production volume of Jiande Meicheng Solid Waste Management.

Table 8.1-1: Estimation of daily leachate output

Subproject Production volume of waste leachate (m3/d) Jiande Meicheng Solid Waste Management 200

8.1.2 Leachate Quality Prediction

The waste leachate belongs to high concentration organic wastewater, the water quality composition is quite complicated; the concentration of organism and NH3-N is high, with poor biodegradability, and it contains a lot of virus, pathogen and poisonous heavy metal etc; it will cause serious environmental pollution if discharged directly without disposal. The various compositions of waste leachate vary a lot, the specific water quality is hard to be precisely estimated; it is mainly based on the factors such as the age of landfill site, composition of waste, landfill mode, season as well as regional climate etc, among which, the age of landfill is the key factor impacting the water quality of waste leachate.

Table 8.1-2 presents the comparison result of waste landfills in China..

Value 6~9 3000 7000 600 800 8.1.3 Leachate Impacts and Mitigation 8.1.3.1 Impact on surface water

The Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889-2008) and Technical Code for Sanitary Landfill of Domestic Refuse (CJJ17-2004) require that the domestic waste landfill shall be set with leachate discharge conduction system and leachate disposal facilities; the produced waste leachate enters into the leachate disposal facilities through the discharge conduction system in the landfill site, and it is discharged after disposal and meets the standard. The concentration limit for water pollutant discharge specified by the standard GB16889-2008 is implemented.

After being adjusted by the adjusting tank in the station, the waste leachate produced by this project, namely Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill, will be lifted by water pump and sent to the leachate disposal facilities beside the Wumazhou Sewage Disposal Plant for standard discharge after disposal. Therefore, the environmental impact on nearby surface water caused by the leachate produced by Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill is insignificant.. 8.1.3.2 Impact to groundwater

According to the requirements of Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889-2008) and Technical Code for Sanitary Landfill of Domestic Refuse (CJJ17-2004), the seepage factor of anti-seepage layer of domestic waste landfill shall not be over 1.0×10-7cm/s. This project, namely Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill, plans to use the high quality HDPE compound lining anti-seepage system, its seepage factor is ≤1.0×10-7cm/s, which can meet the demand of corresponding technology codes.

The geological condition of the planned engineering site is quite simple, the bottom and natural side slopes of the site are with nice stability, no obvious unfavorable geological phenomenon; and according to the standard, the thickness of bottom and surrounding lining of the landfill shall not be less than 2m. The seepage of waste leachate towards underground can be controlled effectively when the landfill site is treated with anti-seepage by high density polyethylene lining (2.0mm HDPE film). In addition, the landfill site is also set with groundwater discharge conduction system and site rainwater discharge conduction system, for further controlling the seepage volume of leachate towards underground.

Therefore, the waste landfill will not pollute the groundwater as long as the construction is strictly according to the relevant construction standards and technology codes for waste landfill. 8.1.3.3 Impact during leachate transfer

Because about 0.5km away from the east side of waste landfill is the sewage disposal plant of Wumazhou industrial area, for the sake of centralized management, the leachate disposal facilities will be set beside the Wumazhou Sewage Disposal Plant; after being adjusted by adjusting tank, the waste leachate is lifted by water pump and sent to the leachate disposal facilities beside Wumazhou Sewage Disposal Plant. Table 8.1-4 presents the distance and transportation mode of leachate transportation to the leachate disposal facilities beside Wumazhou Sewage Disposal Plant.

It is learned from Table 8.1-4 that Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill plans to send the waste leachate to the waste leachate disposal station beside Wumazhou Industrial Group Sewage Disposal Plant for disposal through sewage pressure pipeline. Because the mode of pipeline transportation is quite safe, the transportation of waste leachate will not cause unfavorable environmental impact if there is no seepage on the pipeline.

8.1.4 Leachate Management Plan

Based on the analysis of process characteristic, site condition etc of the landfill site, Table 8.1-5 presents the management, transportation and disposal program for the waste leachate of this project, Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill.. Table 8.1-5: Management system of waste leachate Project Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill Production volume of leachate (m3/d) 200 Capacity of adjusting tank (10,000m3) 1.5 Site area (hm2) 192 Control measures Flood ditch, timely landfill Disposal process Adjusting tank + UASB + nitration + denitration + ultra-filtration + anti-seepage Distance to the leachate disposal facilities (km) 1.0 Transportation mode Transported through pipeline

The waste leachate management system of waste landfill mainly consists of the following: ANTI-SEEPAGE SYSTEM

Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill uses the compound anti-seepage system, the anti-seepage layer consists of five layers, from the top to bottom, they are: 45cm thick gravel water conduction layer (particle diameter is 32-64mm), 600g/m2 non-woven geotextile, 2.0mm HDPE thick geo-film (smooth surface), 6mm thick compound bentonite clay GCL cushion, 300mm compacted earth protection layer and the flattened foundation layer at the bottom. WATER DISCHARGE SYSTEM

The groundwater discharge conduction system uses temporarily blind drain for collecting the groundwater. The blind drain in 1st phase will be excavated in the direction of topographic gradient, and the minor blind drain will be excavated at the broad site bottom and perpendicular to the major one; the blind drain will be firstly paved with a layer of fine sand, 100mm thick, as the cushion, and de110~de200 holed HDPE pipe will be paved on it; the major and minor blind drains shall be filled with φ20~60 graded gravels. In order to prevent the block of pipeline by fine sand and the particles in groundwater, theφ20~60 gravels and holed pipe shall be covered by 300g/m2 non-woven geotextile to form an anti-filtration layer. The HDPE pipeline is connected to the flood discharge ditch in lower reaches when it passes through the waste dam. LEACHATE COLLECTION SYSTEM

The leachate collection system consists of the 45cm thick gravel layer which covers the entire landfill bottom and the leachate collection blind drain. The blind drain section will be a trapezoid; embed DE200 holed HDPE pipe into the blind drain. The major blind drain shall be paved along the gradient at bottom, and it will go through the waste dam and connect to the leachate water collecting tank. The minor blind drains are generally distributed along the contour lines at slope bottom, intersect with the major blind drain, their sections are also trapezoid, and DE160 HDPE pipe is set inside.

LEACHATE DISPOSAL SYSTEM

(1) Leachate adjusting tank

The adjusting tank is formed by the excavated site paved with anti-seepage film; when the adjusting tank is excavated, pave the groundwater discharge conduction system on the tank bottom, then pave a layer of 300mm thick clay and a layer of 6mm thick GCL bentonite clay cushion; then pave a layer of 2mm thick HDPE geo-film. A layer of 600g/m2 geotextile shall be paved on the geo-film as the geo- film protection layer, and then pave 500×500×80 thick concrete bricks as protection layer. In addition, in order to reduce the environmental impact of odor produced by the leachate, floating covering film shall be set on the adjusting tank, and the covering film uses 0.5mm thick HDPE film.

(2) Disposal process

According to the Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889- 2008), the newly built waste landfill must be built with leachate disposal system, and the output water quality must meet the water pollutant discharge concentration limit specified by the standard. The leachate disposal process adopted by Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill is as follows:

Sludge backflow

Leachate Adjusting UASB Denitration Nitration Ultra- Anti-seepage Water output Discharge tank tank tank tank filtration system pump

8.2 LANDFILL GAS MANAGEMENT 8.2.1 Landfill Gas Quantity Projection

The production volume of landfill gas varies ceaselessly as time goes. In the primary period of waste’s entry into the landfill, there is mostly aerobic decomposition; at this moment, the gas production volume is low, and the major products are CO2, H2O and a little NH3; when the waste is covered by soil and isolated from air, it goes to anaerobic composition, the air in the waste layer is gradually consumed off, and the bacteria for acidification and methane production etc become active, the volume of waste gas increases, and the concentration of methane rises year by year.

According to estimation, the landfill will totally produce about 20 million m3 landfill gas in the 1st phase; when the 2nd phase and 3rd phase are constructed, because the waste volume increases, the gas production of waste goes into the peak period. Therefore, methane gas utilization facilities must be set.

8.2.2 Impact on Ambient Air Quality

Except for the methane and carbon dioxide which are harmless to human, the gas produced by waste landfill also contains some poisonous and harmful pollution gases, such as NH3、H2S etc.

Table 8.2-1 presents the compositions of typical waste landfill gas, and Table 8.2-1 presents the production volume of each composition of landfill gas.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 8. Leachate and landfill gas management 135

The CO2 and CH4 belong to greenhouse gas, they will cause greenhouse effect and global warming if they enter into the air by large volume. CH4 is also a combustible gas, it will burn by itself or explode when it reaches a certain proportion in air and meet a fire source, influencing the safety of surrounding human and animals, truly a potential explosion source. In addition, the potential harm of odor gases such as H2S, NH3, SO2 and NOX (accounted for 0.2~1.4% of the total volume) to human can also not be neglected. Therefore, the waste landfill must be set with landfill gas discharge conduction system and disposal device.

8.2.3 Safety Impact and Mitigation

The Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste (GB16889-2008) requires that, the waste landfill must take necessary measures to prevent the spread of odor substances during operation; the odor pollutant concentration at the plant boundary in the directions of surrounding sensitive points around the waste landfill shall accord with the Emission Standards for Odor Pollutants (GB14554-93).

According to the air diffusion model which is often applied to estimate the gas concentration in all weather conditions in the environmental assessment, the maximum concentration of major odor pollutants such as H2S、N3H etc are at about 400-500m away from the pollution source. In order to meet the requirement of environmental air quality standard, there shall be no residential area or other sensitive objects within the 500m air environmental protection distance from the waste landfill site.

More over, the waste landfill must be set with various fire protection or smoke prohibition signs, train the personnel regularly on firefighting knowledge and operation; set landfill gas monitoring alarm system in the landfill site, equip fire protection appliance, and inspect, maintain, renew regularly, for ensuring that they are in good conditions.

Therefore, the waste landfill will not harm the environmental air and human health as long as the landfill gas is controlled strictly and managed scientifically.

8.2.4 Landfill Gas Management Plan

This project, namely Jiande City Meicheng Town Waste Landfill, plans to use vertical exhaust well to conduct the discharge of landfill gas.

The horizontal and vertical distances of exhaust well is 50m, with diameter of 1,000mm; the structure is, from outside to inside: φ8 mesh reinforcement, gravels with diameter of 32-100mm and de200 multi-holed UPVC pipe. The bottom of exhaust well and gas conducting pipe is 2m higher than the foundation, constructed in sections; the top of each section of the exhaust well is 1m higher than the corresponding covering layer. The exhaust wells of landfill gas are connected by the gas collecting pipeline; in near future, it will be collected and discharged after burning by automatic ignition device; and later, it will be comprehensively utilized after collection.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 11. Summary of Environmental Management Plans (EMP) 145

11. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS (EMP)

11.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION he environmental management program (EMP) mainly suggests the corresponding environmental mitigation measures, environmental management, environmental supervisory and environmental monitoring, for avoiding or controlling the possible unfavorable environmental impact during project implement and operation period; specifies the technical demand, cost estimation, implementation schedule, implementation institutions, supervisory institutions as well as the environmental monitoring report mechanism for the implementation of EMP.

The EMP drafts each subproject environmental impact report which is drafted according to relevant state guidance, standards and technical codes. Meanwhile, the independent EMP has been drafted by the environmental assessment unit of each subproject according to the demand of World Bank.

Each subproject has an independent EMP, and is examined and accepted by the people’s government of county and city of where each subproject is located in, and plans to implement it in the project preparation, construction and operation process. This section concludes the major content of EMP of each subproject; also, the mitigation measures etc to various potential unfavorable impacts are suggested in the environmental impact estimation chapter.

For the management institutions, the wastewater or solid treatment in construction period is different from operation period. Among which, the establishment of management institutions for operation period is far longer than the management institutions for construction period.

11.1.1 Environmental Management Institutional Structure

The environmental management organizations involve in the Project construction and operation, their interrelation, their responsibilities and their respective functions are summarized in the table below.

Table 11.1-1: Organizations Involved in Environmental Management

Organizations Responsibilities As a government, for all governing of aspects of provincial life in Hubei, the Hubei Provincial Government is ultimately responsible meeting the Zhejiang Provincial Government environmental discharge reduction targets set by the central government, for the environmental well being and conservation of the province and environmental performance of this project during its implementation As a working group from the provincial government, the PMO is responsible for overall project implementation including its environmental performance.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 146 11. Summary of Environmental Management Plans (EMP)

Organizations Responsibilities Review environmental reports Handling environmental emergency Project proponent and executing agency Day to day operation during construction including environmental matters One full time environmental specialist Local PMOs of all subproject cities/counties Prepare contractual requirements and specification for environmental performance for contractors and construction supervision Implement environmental mitigation measures Review and respond with new mitigation as may be necessary to environmental monitoring reports. Responsible for all matters once the subprojects are constructed and in operation Construction, operation unit Engage, review and respond environmental monitoring reports Response to emergency situation including environmental accidents. Conduct environmental monitoring for both construction and operation stages Environmental Monitoring Stations Provide monitoring reports Recommend corrective actions Appoint one to two full time environmental staff for every construction site Contractor Implement construction stage mitigation measures Report regularly environmental performance Will create environmental supervision positions Third party supervision environmental performance of construction sites on Construction supervision daily or regular basis Provide guidance on mitigation measure implementation Prepare environmental performance reports

As the project owner, the Zhejiang Provincial project office and each local subproject office will be finally responsible for the environmental mitigation measures and EMP during the construction period. This project is the 3rd time for the cooperation between the World Bank and Zhejiang Provincial project office for World Bank Loan project. Therefore, the Zhejiang Provincial project office has accumulated rich experience in management of World Bank loan project and rich environmental management experience in the insurance policy of World Bank. Meanwhile, Zhejiang Provincial project office will entrust special environmental consultation unit to be responsible for managing the implementation of contractor on daily environmental protection, keep contacting and communicating with the supervisory institutions, and communicate with the impact people for public complaints.

In addition, the environmental protection personnel of Zhejiang Provincial project office and local subproject office shall also be responsible for ensuring the implementation of environmental assessment report of each subproject and the environmental mitigation measures suggested by EMP. They need to contact closely with the design units, contractors; modify and perfect the suggested environmental mitigation measures according to the project construction and implementation.

11.1.2 Environmental Management and Supervision 11.1.2.1 Construction Stage

In order to effectively control and minimize environmental pollution resulting from construction activities, the construction site must be assured of an environmental management system including management people and full time environmental persons to ensure mitigation measures designed during EA stage are appropriately implemented. More specifically, the construction stage will:  Include environmental protection requirements, mitigation plans and monitoring plan into the bid documents and eventually in the contract;  Prepare environmental, sanitary measures by contractors and implemented other mitigation measures identified and described in the EA reports;  Request construction supervision to have at least one full time environmental supervision engineer  Request contractors to have full time environmental staff at the site;  Explain to the affected residents potential impacts through public notice and information release; and  Continue public consultation through hotline telephone, bill boards at the construction site.

Contractor management is the most critical part for environmental management during construction. All mitigation measures, environmental organizations and staffing requirements, monitoring and training requirements, as they may be related to contractors will be included in the contractor bid documents so that the contractors are well aware of the environmental requirements before they attempt to work in this project. Also, the incorporation of the environmental requirements in the bid documents will ensure that relevant costs, if any, for mitigation measures and other environmental control and management will be included in the bids. This would guarantee the expenses needed for implementing the mitigation measures during construction.

Furthermore, contractor supervision, on a daily basis, is another critical measure for ensuring environmental management at the construction sites. Besides request for environmental staff in every construction site, the PMOs would request environmental engineers in every construction supervision companies engaged by the PMOs. Construction supervision is mandatory in China and currently construction supervision is mostly concentrated in construction quality, schedule and budget control. As construction supervision is a third independent party and is on site full time, it would be good approach to use construction supervision companies for construction time environmental management. The environmental supervision engineers will be responsible for daily or on a regular basis site inspection with regard to mitigation measure implementation and environmental performance at construction sites. The supervision engineers will be reporting to PMOs including reports of and recommendations on environmental performance on construction sites. 11.1.2.2 Operation stage

Environmental management during operation is a long term effort, which requires well structured environmental management system, and on which to further build supervision, monitoring and management procedures. The environmental monitoring will be an effective tool to determine the environmental performance but preventive will also be needed such as proper maintenance. During the operation, the project operator will work closely with city and provincial EPBs on city environmental programs such as motor vehicle emission control strategy, vehicle inspection and forced retirement plan etc.

In particular, the some project elements will last a long time and operation could have potentially significant impacts to the environment and communities. For example, Meicheng landfill would have life spans of 12-15 years. Even after landfill closure, there will be a long term need for environmental particularly groundwater monitoring. Several cities/counties have dump site closure components. This requires long term monitoring and management as well. This EMP has prepared the annual costs and encouraged the governments and project owners to continue the same monitoring program and management plan after Bank project is closed.

11.1.2.3 Continued Public Consultation

It is very important that public consultation and communications will continue throughout the project construction stage. The objective is to inform the public of construction activities to gain their understanding and support, and to listen and respond to any concerns they may have and suggestions for mitigation. For example, contractors will be requested to inform and discuss with affected communities prior to construction activities which could result in high noise. The public opinions and concerns will be taken to full considerations for properly scheduling noise construction activities

A billboard will be erected in every construction site. This board will briefly explain the activities on this site, and indicates specifically that public concerns and opinions on the environment will be welcome. To ensure public concerns, if any, can be received properly and timely, the board will include specific contact information such as telephone numbers, email address where possible, and contact persons, which will be the head and environmental staff of the contractors on that particular site.

Public notice will also be issued in media during the operation stage to inform of the public with contact information so that they can express their concerns and opinions, if any, on environmental impacts of Hubei Han River Environmental Improvement project operations. In particular, the landfill operations could have high potential impacts to the surrounding environment and groundwater. Current assessment, with regard to buffer zones, etc. may or may not be accurate. Furthermore consultation is important to learn the project operation impacts to the surrounding communities once the landfills and WWTPs are in operations. Additional mitigation may be taken if needed in response to the future public consultation during the project operation stage. Besides active approach to the project affected people, telephone numbers and contact persons will be provided. At this stage, the contact information will be those of that of the road operating company. 11.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

A two tier monitoring program has been developed for this project: daily and regular monitoring, to be carried out by contractors and construction supervision companies and periodical compliance monitoring by professional monitoring stations. Environmental staff from contractors and construction supervision companies will be trained prior to the start of construction for the monitoring which will include mostly :  visual monitoring of air borne dust  surface runoff  storage and disposal of construction waste  traffic impacts  construction safety issues.

Hand-hold noise meters will be used to monitor the noise levels at sensitive receptors during construction. The objective of this daily monitoring program is to identify environmental issues at the same time as the construction activities on these sites to that appropriate mitigation actions, if needed, can be initiated and implemented timely to minimize the impacts. This monitoring while not perfect, is important as it does provide a daily monitoring of environmental performance and allow prompt corrective actions should any of the construction activities cause significant impacts beyond the prediction of the EIA or ineffective mitigation measures currently proposed.

At the same time, in additional to the daily monitoring by contractors and construction supervision companies, a formal environmental monitoring program will also be carried out during the construction, as well as operation phase. This program will be conducted by professional with main objective to provide official records on environmental and regulatory compliance status.

The purpose of environmental monitoring is to understand the status of pollutants discharge and the impact during the construction and operation period to ensure that the mitigation measures could be taken and the impact would be minimized. At the same time, based on findings of analysis of monitoring data, the project management policies should be worked out and used for decision making.

 Management institution: local EPB and construction bureau  Monitoring institution: The monitoring work of pollution source inside the WWTP plant and the landfill is done by laboratory. Local environmental monitoring station is in charge of the work outside the plant. The WWTP should cooperate actively.

11.2.1 Environmental monitoring for WWTP

The environmental monitoring plan is dealing with several items as ambient air, noise and water. Not only during operation period, impacts can also be created during the construction phase, thus the environmental monitoring includes both stages.

Table11.2-1 is presenting per item and period the parameters monitored, their location and the corresponding cost, detailed by project and the total cost.

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN FOR SLUDGE

Much concern about solid wastes generated in WWTP is focussing on excess sludge produced in large amounts during the daily operation of the treatment process. Based on the FSR and the EIA, in each project of the ZSTEP, sludge, being dewatered, will be transferred to landfill site. Partly due to the fact that industrial wastewater is allowed to be accepted, which may incur toxics, depending on characteristics of the local industrial sector, monitoring plan for sludge is necessary though landfills will accept it. Parameters of sludge disposal are mainly heavy metals. The monitoring results of sludge should be gathered for analysis, and be kept for record.

11.2.2 Environmental Monitoring Plan for water supply project

The environmental impact of water supply project is smaller than that of the sewage disposal project by comparison; therefore, the environmental monitoring program of the water supply project is mainly for monitoring the environmental air, noise and water etc. The caused environmental impact mainly includes the construction and operation periods, so, environmental monitoring shall be considered for both construction and operation periods.

See Table 11.2-3 for details of the environmental monitoring program of water supply subproject.

11.2.3 Environmental Monitoring Plan for sanitary landfill

As well as for the wastewater component EMP, the environmental monitoring plan for sanitary landfill includes the same item (ambient air, noise and groundwater). If for the operation period, frequency and parameters are different from the WW components, they are nearly the same for the construction as described in the table below.

One of the main difference is the groundwater monitoring that is not done for the WWTP component. The environmental impact on the groundwater mainly refers to the potential leakage of leachate from the projected landfill sites, careful monitoring of groundwater is planned for each landfill; also taken into consideration are the old garbage dumps in the case of their closure.

The training programs will be primarily provided by professional environmental staff or in local universities.

11.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF EMERGENCY

There are two types of accident in WWTPs, one is the wastewater cannot be treated completely. In this case the quality of effluent is the same as that of influent. This case seldom happens. The other type occurs in the biological reactor after the physical process, e.g., sludge bulking. The effluent would then be treated to only 30 to 50 percent of the design.

Sewer network accidents occur due to sewer pipe bursts or pump station power-downs, resulting in surface water and groundwater being polluted by outflows. Timely repairs should be carried out to reduce the accident discharge.

There are two types of emergencies in landfill, one is the leachate leakage due to failure of the lining system, e.g., liner breakage, and the other is the explosion of LFG. TIMELY CONTROL OF ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE

When a major incident takes place, the principal leaders should organize related staff to deal with the incident and report to the relevant municipality (EPB or urban construction department) in a timely manner in order to implement a coordinated action to resolve problems and minimize the harm and loss incurred.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 11. Summary of Environmental Management Plans (EMP) 159

INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS AFTER INCIDENTS

After an incident, an investigation should be undertaken immediately to determine the trigger. The investigation and analysis report should be kept in the filing room and submitted to the concerned departments to trace the responsibility. EMERGENCY RESPONSE AGENCY

An incident emergency agency, which is prepared by the heads of each WWTP or landfill, should be set up beforehand. The list of members (with names and contact detail) should be disclosed to the public. The responsibility should be broken down clearly. The agency should prepare technical plan in advance, keep adequate emergency materials and liaison, to provide precaution measures against any potential incidents.

11.5 EMP IMPLEMENTATION BUDGET

Costs related to the Contractors’ obligations to apply best environmental management practices in construction activities, as required by the EMP and the tender documentation, will be considered as already included in the unit costs provided in the Bills of Quantities (BoQs). Costs related to mitigation measures for the construction phase will be borne by contractors while mitigation and monitoring costs during the operation phase will be borne by Implementing Agencies (IAs).

During construction and operation, ambient monitoring is a part of EPBs activities and as such, will be borne by these agencies. However, any specific request for water, air and noise monitoring to be performed by the EPBs will be borne by the concerned IA.

Internal monitoring costs will be borne by the IAs, construction contractors and CSCs during the construction phase, and by the IAs during the operation phase. Before implementing the monitoring plan, responsible agencies will present a further detailed breakdown of the estimated budget. During project implementation, the budgets will be adjusted based on actual requirements.

Mitigation measures and EMP implementation budget are detailed in EMP tables presented in Appendix III.

12. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

12.1 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

The Qiantang River is the biggest river in Zhejiang Province, the valley area is 36.2% of the total area of Zhejiang Province, with a population accounts for 32%, so it is the “mother river” of people in Zhejiang. Most of the area in this valley is with an average annual rainfall of over 1,500mm, and praised as the “Capital of silk”, “Land of fish and rice”, “Country of cultural relics” and “Place of tourism”.

The Qiantang River Basin is inside the center of Yangtze Delta Economic Zone, located between the developed coastal areas of Zhejiang Province and the underdeveloped areas of He’nan Province, Jiangxi Province; the industrial production is medium. In the Qiantang River Basin, the major industries are machinery, electrics, metallurgy, textile, paper making, chemical industry, electronics, food and aquaculture etc. In 2008, the GDP of all the cities and counties in this valley was accounted for 35.3% of that of the Zhejiang Province.

The general goal for the water pollution control “11th five-year plan” of Qiantang River Basin is to control comprehensively the key areas, key industries and enterprises in the Qiantang River Basin; control the total discharge volume of pollutants, strengthen the environmental law enforcement and supervision, and implement a group of key environmental protection and ecological construction projects in steps with plan; build an automatic monitoring network for the centralized sewage, domestic waste disposal facilities of the cities and counties along the river and the environmental quality as well as key pollution source; the total investment needed for the environmental protection engineering planned in the water pollution control “11th five-year plan” of Qiantang River Basin is 16,581,360,000 Yuan.

Since 2008, Zhejiang Province started a new round of “811” new three-year environmental protection action, to ensure the completion of goals specified in the environmental protection “11th five-year plan”, and generally solve the major environmental pollution in the places, and keep its environmental protection capacity construction, ecological environmental quality top in China.

The general goal of this project is to help the small cities in Qiantang River Basin to improve the municipal environmental infrastructure, take appropriate collection, disposal or treatment measures to serve for the continuous sewage, water supply and solid waste treatment of small cities. Establish a series of “model projects” which can be copied to other areas in Zhejiang Province by filling the tangible investment and combining a specified institution and department reform agenda.

12.2 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND BENEFITS

T Each subproject will cause certain temporary impact in the construction period, but such impact can be mitigated by appropriate measures. Among which, the major negative impacts include:  Land acquisition and resettlement;  Causing certain environmental impact on the residents near the waste landfill site, including the odor, noise, visual, air pollution and environmental hygiene, groundwater etc.  The odor impact of sewage disposal plant and secondary pollution caused by improper sludge treatment.  The environmental risk caused by improper treatment of waste landfill leachate. Among which, the most significant environmental risk is the pollution of groundwater by leachate; the waste leachate be discharged directly into the water without disposal and the landfill gas in the landfill site explodes.

Zhejiang Qiantang River Basin Small Towns Environment Project Consolidated Environmental Assessment Report (updated version of April 04/30) 162 12. Conclusions and Recommendations

The pollutant discharge volume will be reduced by collecting the wastewater of Jiande City, Qujiang District of Quzhou City, Pan’an County, Longyou County, Tonglu County and Lanxi City and constructing the sewage disposal plants; thus reduces the pollution load of Qiantang River, which is beneficial to the further improvement of water quality of the Qiantang River.

12.3 SUGGESTIONS

According to the Water Pollution Control “11th five-year plan” of Qiantang River Basin, the total COD discharge volume of Qiantang River Basin in 2005 was about 320,000t, mostly from the industrial pollution and domestic pollution, their contribution proportions were 41.91% and 41.11% respectively; the total discharge volume of NH4-N was about 68,000t, mostly from the agricultural pollution and domestic pollution, and their contribution proportions were 62.86% and 24.01% respectively.

According to the Almanac of Municipal Construction Statistics in Zhejiang (2008), the total sewage discharge volume of cities in Qiantang River Basin in 2008 was 2,482,250,000m3, the sewage disposal ratio was 73.12%, among which, the municipal sewage disposal rate was 75.10%, the sewage disposal rate of counties was only 63.11%. Obviously, the sewage disposal rate of small cities was low, and the casual sewage discharge of small cities became the key point of municipal pollution.

In conclusion, in order to improve further the surface water environmental quality in the Qiantang River Basin, when controlling the domestic sewage, domestic waste of small cities in the Qiantang River Basin, a comprehensive valley pollution control is suggested to the following aspects:  The surface source pollution in the Qiantang River Basin shall be controlled, especially the NH3-N pollutant; reliable pollution control measures shall be considered from the aspect of agricultural surface source pollution, such as the agricultural surface source pollution control and rural animal and aquaculture pollution control etc.  Provide technical assistance to the operation management of sewage disposal and waste treatment in the small cities within the valley, thus ensure the reliable, effective operation of the environmental pollution control facilities (sewage disposal plant, waste landfill) in the Qiantang River Basin.
