INTRODUCTION TO BACKGROUND A. Report Purposes 1. As defined in the domestic EIAs and consolidated environmental impact assessment (CEIA) for Anhui Chao Lake Environmental Rehabilitation Project Prepared (the Project) under ADB Loan, semi-annual environmental monitoring reports (EMR) have to be prepared by the borrower in order to evaluate and assess overall project activities to ensure the effective implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP). 2. The purpose of this fifth EMR is to document the environmental management activities and compliance with the approved EMP of this project as baseline by December 2017. This report is prepared in accordance with the environmental monitoring program as part of the environmental management plan (EMP). As the seventh external EMR, it will not only cover the construction phase, but also demonstrate compliance with the EMP for the design, bidding, and construction preparation stages. In line with targets aimed at reducing the negative environmental impacts of the Project and in accordance with all the relevant specifications and standards of the PRC, as well as the policies of the ADB(ADB), this report will emphasize: (i) progress made in implementing the EMP, (ii) implementation of mitigation measures, (iii) environmental compliance, (iv) institutional strengthening and training, (v) public consultation, and (vi) problems that have occurred and corrective actions taken. 3. This report is prepared by the CLPMO (Chao Lake Management Authority). The monitoring plan was updated on the basis of discussion with HEPB. B. Project Objective and Components 4. Project Objective This project area is comprised of Hefei City, Lu'an City, Changfeng County, Chaohu City, Feidong County, Feixi County, Hanshan county (which is under the jurisdiction of Ma'anshan City), Lujiang County (dominated by Hefei) and Wuwei County (dominated by Wuhu).

June 2018 2/125 ADB Loan - 2941 8th external Environmental Anhui Chao Lake Environmental Rehabilitation Project Monitoring Report (2) New Components In order to fully utilize loan of USD 250 million, it is planned to prepare five ADB financing sub-projects and adjust construction contents of 2 sub-projects on the basis of previous two sub-projects. After domestic approval, for each of the components, the provincial project will (i) submit one copy of the feasibility report in English to ADB for approval; (ii) develop and submit the migration report required
