Preface Confucius, born in the year of 552 BC, is one of the greatest thinkers in the history of humanity, his thought and doctrine addressed the order and nature of morality in the life of human society. Mencius was born 180 years latter than that of Confucius, and succeeded and developed the thought of Confucius. Addressing governing by benevolence, Mencius advocated Confucius’ philosophy and jointly with him established the core of Chinese culture – Confucianism. Confucianism, created by both Confucius and Mencius, started to become the main stream of Chinese culture in Han Dynasty dating back 2000 years. Particularly, after Confucianism was reformed and reinterpreted by the ruler as a political thought, it became the thought of State. Therefore, Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism had jointly constituted the physical constitution of Chinese traditional culture, and had produced great influence on Asia, Japan and South Korea in particular. Understanding traditional Chinese culture is to a large extent to understand Confucianism and Confucius Culture. Confucius and Mencius culture has a long history and enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad, thus has left over invaluable cultural heritage assets to the people of the whole world. Therefore, it has become the essence of outstanding traditional culture of Chinese civilization. Qufu and Zoucheng are hometown of Confucius and Mencius who are both great philosopher, educator and politician, and are founder and successor of Confucianism school respectively, where is also the important carrier and roots seeking place in succeeding Chinese traditional culture, oriental culture and world civilization at large. However, due to the shortage of funds, backward technical measures and poor management, etc., for many years, meanwhile the two historic cities had experienced setbacks for a long time. Since the environment around the cultural heritage assets is deteriorating, the historic cities are losing their charm, thus causing poorer conditions for physical preservation of cultural relics, and the rich tangible cultural heritage assets are under serious threatening, even on the verge of extinction. At present, both cities have cropped up some problems, such as severely damaged traditional architectures, disorderly made construction layout, incomplete infrastructure facilities, poor quality of urbane appearance and environment, weak consciousness of people for environment protection as well as vanishing of existing

Ã Ã humane settings, etc. all of which have brought up serious impact on preservation and development of cultural heritage sites. In order to develop and utilize precious Confucius-Mencius cultural heritage resources appropriately and permanently, to maintain and improve the image of prestigious historic cultural cities as well as to promote the healthy, sustainable development of local social economy, Chinese Cultural Landmark City Planning and Construction Office of Shandong Province (CCLCPCO)jointly proposed a option on Implementation of Shandong Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage Preservation and development Project by utilizing the Loan from World Bank in 2009. Through study and consultation between National Reform and Development Commission (NRDC) and World Bank, and after approval by State Council, Shandong Provincial Confucius-Mencius Cultural Heritage Sites Preservation and Construction Projectwas incorporated into the document No.1924 [2009] of NRDC and then enlisted onAlternative Project Planning of Financial Year 2010-2012 for utilizing the loan of World Bank in China. The contents of construction for the proposed project mainly include 4 parts, namely: Cultural heritage preservation and presentation; Upgrading of historic city areas and infrastructure; Technical research and community development; Capacity building and project management. The construction sites are concentrated in historic city of Qufu and its surrounding area and historic city of Zoucheng. The total investment of the proposed project will be 884.75 million Yuan RMB with duration of its implementation for 5 years. Through protection, reorganization and upgrading of cultural heritage sites, it will be of profound historic significance and positive contemporary significance in demonstrating great humane spirit of Chinese nation and its contribution to the mankind, enhancing national confidence and centripetal force, rejuvenating coordinated development of local economy and various undertakings, and building up socialism spiritual civilization and material civilization. In accordance withThe law on Environmental Impact Assessment of the People’s Republic of China, other relevant laws and requirements of World Bank regarding environment assessment (E.A), this project has to implement environment assessment system. Entrusted by CCLCPC, Shandong Academy of Environmental Science (SAES) has undertaken the work of environmental assessment for this project. After receiving this task, SAES immediately made a working plan according to the E.A requirements, and organized technical staffs to collect a huge amount of

Ã Ã basic materials regarding social economy basing upon many field-survey tours, thus has completed the Assessment Report on Environmental Impact of the Project. During development of this report, our SAES has been accorded a warm guidance and strong support from specialists of World Bank Missions, leaders of various departments at Provincial, Municipal and County-level authorities, as well as domestic experts and colleagues, etc. Therefore, we would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to them all.

(2) Offer reasonable advice and measures by analyzing the interconnection and compatibility between project construction, local environment protection and the safeguards of cultural relics. (3) To analyze and find out the social and environmental issues affecting cultural heritage protection from regional aspects and levels, so as to put forward measures and suggestions for mitigation and elimination of these impacts. (4) Through the comparison and selection of schemes, survey analysis on current environment situation, identification of environmental impact, public participation and consultancy as well as other assessment methods of environmental impact, etc., to identify the much more improved design and preparation schemes of the project, so as to provide strong evidence and basis to the responsible decision-making authorities, and accumulate relevant experience and play a role of exploration and demonstration around the world. 1.3.2 Guiding Ideology The proposed project is for the preservation of cultural heritage assets by utilizing the loan of World Bank and during its construction, some of its sub-projects would involve the World Heritage Sites and Cultural Relic Units, which are under National, Provincial and Municipal levels’ protection. Therefore, its implementation has to be carried out under the guidance of relevant plans of State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH) and local Cultural Relic Bureaus, and plans of NDRC on utilizing the loan of World Bank as well as several protection and development plans of the local government administrations. In view of environment protection of cultural heritage sites surrounding the project and basing upon the argumentation about compatibility of project construction and relevant plan, this assessment has analyzed the key elements of the impact on regional environment produced by the project construction, and has made analysis on the scope and degree of the impact. It has also made a sufficient identification on the rationality of construction content and program, and of implementation methods, etc. in order to realize the protection of cultural heritage and enhance the local environment quality. As a result, some practical

Zoucheng City enjoys advantageous geographical location, with No.104 National Highway, Beijing-Fuzhou and Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, and Highways of Ji- Zao, Zao-Xu, Lin-Ji, Ji-Wei, Yan-Zou, and Qu-Cong, etc. passing through the city, while Beijing-Shanghai, Yan–Shi and Xin-Ri railways joint together in its territory, with relatively convenient transport. (2) Geologic and Morphologic Conditions Zoucheng is located in the south of Mount Tai belonging to the form of North China platform, occurring adjacent to the boundary line between the second up- warping and the second down-warping of neocathaysian structural system. Zoucheng is in a complicated geological condition, the east and southeast feature south-north Mount Yi fault, abundant with sinian granitic gneiss; there is Cambrian limestone appearing as roof rock; Hilly areas in the southwest is located in Cambrian limestone zone, and the northwest is fault depression basin without large scale typical geological structure exposed in the region. The topographic feature of Zoucheng is high in the east and low in the west, differing greatly from each part in topography. The highest elevation within Zoucheng is Mount Fenghuang in the east, 648.7m high, while the lowest elevation is Zhentou in Guoli town, only 35m high. There are five categories of topography, including lower mountains, hills, plain, basin and water area. Demarcated by the section of Beijing-Shanghai railway crossing Zoucheng, it is the hilly areas in the east of the railway and the south of Zoucheng, accounting for 70% of the total area of Zoucheng, while it is the plain and bottomland in the west of the railway. Mountains within Zoucheng are offshoots of Mt. Meng and Mt. Tai range, distributing regularly from east to the west, with over 190 mount tops in total. (3) Hydro-geological Conditions Demarcated by Mount Yi fractured fault, the distribution of underground water in Zoucheng region can be divided into three hydro-geological units. The east of fault is the area of fissure water featuring metamorphic rock and magmatic rock; while the west of fault can be divided into two hydro-geological units: one is the distributing area of piedmont clinoplain quaternary unconsolidated salt pore water formed by the alluvial and flood fan of Si River and the alluvial and flood fan of west Zoucheng, another is the limestone area exposed on Mount Yi area of the demarcation River

The unconsolidated rock crack water is distributed most widely underlying the entire region, the loosened layer thickness is getting increased gradually along an axis part of alluvial flood fan of the river from Mountain front toward the plain area. The sandy layers containing water is getting increased gradually from fan top to its front side. The karst lava water from Carbonate rock crack is distributed in the Guoliji monocline hydro-geological unit of south Cambrian-Ordovician limestone zone. This unit bordered with crack of Mount Yi in the east, goes into Nanyang Lake in the west, and demarcated by watershed of ground water in the south, the limestone layer containing water formed a shape of monocline fan inclining from south to north, underlying quaternary stratum; The crack water of metamorphic rock and magma rock are scattered or distributed in eastern hilly areas with underground water stored inside the rock weathering cracks and structural cracks. These weathered cracks are fine and small, while the rich water function is deficient, and the water table underground is 2~5m deep. (4) Surface Water The majority part of Zoucheng is located in the drainage area of Huai River. In modern water system with Nansi Lake (or namely: Four Lakes in South Shandong) as a catchment center, there are 91 rivers with drainage area above 50 Square km respectively, and 1516km in total length. Within Zoucheng area, it has over 40 rivers which are relative longer and belong to the two major water systems namely Yi and Si Rivers, such as Si River, Baima River, City-South Dasha River, City-Front Dasha River, Dayi River, Shiqiang River and Long River, 7 in all, radiate flowing towards four directions, then respectively goes into Sishui county, Qufu city, Tengzhou city and Weishan county. They feature in inconsistent flow direction, short source, strong current, small drainage area, and bigger volume in summer and autumn; Water flow varies significantly from season to season, so does from year to year. Baima River rises in north of Laoying village, Central Township of Zoucheng City, flows into Nansi Lake near the Jiukongqiao village, Weishan County. Its largest tributary is Dasha River, which rises in south of Xuling village, Zhangzhuang Twonship, east of Zoucheng City, flowing from east to the west through Zhang Zhuang and Kuang Zhuang villages and stored in Xiwei Reservoir, east of the city.

It is 32.61km long, covering a drainage area of 172.59 Square km. Yinli River is located on the upper reaches of Dasha River, the tributary of Baima River, with controlled drainage area 7.58 square km. It is a hill-plain mixed-up area, steep on the upper reaches and relatively slow-down on the lower reaches. The open section of Yinli River converges to the entrance of Dasha River 400ms from the east of No. 2 Middle School, with the total length 3800ms. The elevation of starting point of Yinli River is about 79.60ms, and that of entrance of Dasha River is about 68.9ms, with a altitude difference 10.7ms and ground slope ratio about 1/350. Ever since Ming Dynasty, it has become the moat of Zoucheng City, and has maintained a framework of certain historical appearance. Yinli River varies from 5 to 12 ms in width. In recent years, due to that the sewage is discharged and garbage is dumped into the river randomly, a great amount of production and domestic garbage are piled up in the river. As a result, it has produced great impact on the safety of flood control, polluted the surrounding environment, and posed great threats to the urban ecology of Zoucheng. This project will undertake dredging in Yinli River, and divert all the existing sewage of the river into sewage plant for treatment, then will build up a project diverting water discharged from hydra-power station of Xiwei Reservoir and tail water of irrigation into Yinli River. It will make lower reaches of Yinli River link-up with Dasha River so as to form a clean and flowing water system, restore the historic appearance and normal function of sewage collection and flood discharge. It will adopt a natural ecological approach to restore the waterside appearance, outskirts of the historic city, and establish a green eco-corridor passing through the urban area of Zoucheng. Yinli River originates from Xiwei Reservoir, which is situated in the east of city and at middle section of Dasha River, the tributary of Baima River. Xiwei Reservoir has a total storage capacity of water about 107million m3 with regulating volume about 41million m3. A dike was built in the west and north of the reservoir, which has a drainage area 113.6km2 and irrigation area 77.4 thousand mu of them 51 thousand mu of effectively irrigated area (15mu equals to 1 hectare or 2.471 acre).

It can be seen in these Tables that there are 156 items of very important cultural heritage assets under protection of the World, National and local levels respectively, of which there are one unit of World Cultural Heritage namely: Confucius Temple, Confucius Family Mansion and Confucius Cemetery in Qufu. It has 12 units of important cultural heritage under national level protection, including Lu Kingdom Historic City of Qufu, Confucius Temple and Mansion, Yan Temple, Mt. Ni Confucius Temple and Academy of Classical Learning, Lu King’s Tomb of Han dynasty, Confucius Cemetery, Historic City of Zhu State, Mencius Temple and Family Mansion, Lu King’s Tombs of Ming Dynasty, Mencius Cemetery, Buddhist Inscriptions on Cliff of Mt. Tie, Mt. Gang and Mt. Ge. Among them, Yan Temple, Mt. Ni Confucius Temple and Academy, Mencius Temple, Mansion and Cemetery have been listed as extension items of World Heritage (tentative name-list). Those, named as Famous Historical Cultural Cities at national level are Ming Historic City of

Qufu and Historic City Area of Zoucheng. In addition there are 28 Important

Cultural Relic Protection Units at Provincial level, and 15 units and 98 units under protection of Municipal and County levels respectively.

In view of times, the existing cultural heritage in Qufu and Zoucheng can be traced back to the pre-historic cultural ruins in the year 2667BC, covering ever since a time span of 5000 years, in which it was divided into 11 historic periods namely: Pre- history, Xia-Shang-Zhou Dynasties, Qin-Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms, North South Dynasty, Sui-Tang, Song and Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the Neoteric and Modern eras. Among them, the heritage assets are mainly distributed in the times of Xia-Shang, Qin-Han and Ming-Qing, and some of the cultural heritage belongs to that of neoteric and modern eras. In view of historic times, the existing cultural relics in the two cities have comparatively a high value. (2) The Value of Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage The cultural heritage of Qufu and Zoucheng has formed a core and great system of Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage, and those centered as World Heritage is

Among them, Confucius Temple, Confucius Family Mansion and Confucius Cemetery were listed as World Heritage simultaneously; Mount Ni architectural complex is the birth place of Confucius, and later it became a place offering sacrifices to Confucius and his parents and an ancient library. Yan Temple is used to offer sacrifices to Yanhui, the famous disciple of Confucius; Mencius Temple is the temple for descendants of Mencius to pay tribute to Mencius, and Mencius Mansion is used to be a residential complex for Mencius Family members; Mencius Cemetery is the graveyard for Mencius Family members who passed away. Mencius Temple, Mencius Mansion, Mencius Cemetery, Mt. Ni Confucius Temple and Yan Temple were all enlisted onto tentative list for World Heritage (in 2008); Qufu Lu Historic City, another item of cultural heritage, was the great capital city of Lu Kingdom where Confucius had lived 2500 years ago, and was listed as extension of Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage. It has 148 additional heritage sites at local levels, 60% of them are related to Confucius and Mencius Culture, and the rest 40% are some other kinds of Cultural heritage. In view of the cultural heritage value of Confucius and Mencius, obviously it is very important to enhance the protection of heritage sites in the project area. (3)Cultural Relic Protection Units related to Rehabilitation of the Project Area The preservation and rehabilitation of cultural relics in the proposed project are mainly involved in Confucius Temple Confucius Mansion and Confucius Cemetery,

Lu Kingdom Historic City of Qufu, Yan Temple, Ming Historic City, Former County Government Building of Qufu, Old10- Mansion (former residence of Kong Guangsen), 4-Mansion (its protection level not yet defined), Gupan Pond, Historic Building Complex of Mt. Ni, Historic Site of Confucius Cave, Mencius Temple, Mencius Mansion and Mencius Cemetery. For contents of rehabilitation, see special paragraph on analysis of engineering works and analysis of impact of cultural relics. 2.4.2 An Outline of Cultural Heritage Preservation Plan in the Project Area For the past ten years, in order to protect the cultural heritage in Jining, the three- level Governments of provincial, municipal and county had worked out the corresponding preservation plans respectively. These plans are involved in over 10 relevant plans from Regional Master Plan to partially local detailed plans.

Among provincial level plans, the relatively representative plans are The

Special Plan for Culture Industrial Development from 2007 to 2015 in Shandong

Province and The Master Plan for Tourism Development in Shandong

Province , which had defined the priorities and directions for development of the project areas, and proposed the safeguard mechanism and measures. The proposed project is just located in the key areas of the two plans mentioned above.

Among municipal level plans, those, represented by The Urban Master Plan in

Jining City and The Master Plan for Tourism Development in Jining City , have proposed the development direction for establishing Chinese Cultural City of Confucianism and the Famous City of Historic Cultural Tourism in the proposed project areas. As for the County level plans, both Qufu and Zoucheng have worked out corresponding preservation plans in accordance with its own regional conditions and preservation contents respectively. For that of Qufu, it includes: The Urban Master

Plan in Qufu , The Detailed Plan for Development Control in Qufu and The

Master Plan for Cultural Heritage Preservation in Qufu District , as well as The

Plan for Major Ruins Preservation in Lu Kingdom Historic City that is in the process of review. For plans in Zoucheng, it includes: The Urban Master Plan in

Zoucheng , The Preservation Plan for National Famous City of History and

Culture in Zoucheng and The Detailed Plan for Development Control of Historic

City Area in Zoucheng , etc. In view of the plan contents, they have all proposed targeted requirements for the construction management and control of cultural heritage areas. In view of planning, the Government Authority at three levels has all carried out a great deal of planning work for heritage sites preservation. Therefore, the relative contents of all these plans mentioned above are the important basis for the development of this EA Report.

Since Ming Historic City of Qufu was enlisted the Famous Historical Cultural City at national level in 1981, it has been protected by the relevant laws and regulations in China. The Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion and Confucius Cemetery were listed as World Heritage in 1994, and then, the whole Ming city of Qufu was inscribed as buff zone of physical heritage assets. The last large scale rehabilitation of Confucius Mansion was carried out in 1936, and a certain amount of budget for daily routine maintenance of “three Confucius” has been being allocated annually by the local government. The funds of routine maintenance for other cultural heritages are being provided either by Government or from a part of revenue of entrance fee. This project as the one for Confucian cultural heritage protection, will further promote the protection work of cultural heritage sites in the aspects of cultural heritage preservation, infrastructure upgrading and integrated environmental management and control, and will also create a good living environment for the original residents. 2.5 Current Environment Quality 2.5.1 Monitoring and Assessment of Environment Quality in Qufu (1) Ambient Air Based on the ambient air quality statistics at the routine monitoring point of urban area in the year 2007-2009 provided by Qufu Environmental Protection Bureau, the monitoring spot is located at Grade II area of ambient air quality, and the single factor index method was adopted for current status assessment. The statistical and assessment results are listed in Table 2.5-1.The monitoring spots and location is seen on Map 2.5-1.

As it can be seen from Table 2.5-1, the air environment quality detected at urban area routine air monitoring spots of Qufu (EPB) in the year 2007-2009 is able to meet the standard requirements of Grade II of theAmbient Air Quality Standard (GB3095-1996). Ming Historic City and Mount Ni in the project areas of Qufu all belong to the first Category of air quality. Due to a lack of routine monitoring spots and no other monitoring data collected, so it can not quantify the assessment for this time. According to the introduction of the local Environmental Protection Bureau and information collected through field survey of the assessment staffs, it is understood that although there is no any urban pollution source of industrial enterprises, but 10% of the residents adopted coal as domestic fuel and all of the residents in the urban area

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ ,PSDFWÃ 5HSRUWÃ RIÃ 6KDQGRQJÃ &RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ &XOWXUHÃ +HULWDJHÃ 3URWHFWLRQÃ DQGÃ'HYHORSPHQWÃ3URMHFWÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ$QDO\VLVÃ rely on coal for heating in winter. As the result, the ambient air quality of Ming Historic City in winter can not meet the first Category of air quality standards. There is no any industrial enterprise in the surrounding area of Mount Ni, with scarcely scattered villages nearby. The nearest village named Confucius Cave Village (having about 290 villagers) is located about 300 meters away from Mount Ni, and other villages are even in about 1,000 meters away. So, under the normal weather conditions, the ambient air quality in Mount Ni project area can meet Grade I of that standard. (2) Ground Water According to the information provided by the local Environmental Protection Bureau and field survey result of the project working team, there is currently no industrial enterprise in the project area. The pollutants of wastewater are mainly from emission of domestic sewage of the existing residents, managing staffs and mobile population. The domestic sewage generated by about 3000 residents living near the Gupan Pond in Qufu is straightly discharged into that Pond. About 2,500 residents living along the two sides of Yinli River in Zoucheng, their domestic sewage is discharged into Yinli River directly passing through the 18 outfalls. The emissions of pollutants at above mentioned areas can be seen in Table 2.5-2 as follows: Table 2.5-2 Conditions of Domestic Sewage Effluent to Gupan Pond and Yinli River Pollutants Density and Emission Quantity Population Sewage COD Ammonia Nitrogen Name 3 No.person.Quantitym /a Emission Emission Density Density Quantityt/a Quantityt/a Gupan 3000 87600 350mg/L 30.66 35mg/L 3.07 Pond Yinli 2500 73000 350mg/L 25.55 35mg/L 2.56 River

The engineering works for the first stage water system of this project will take water from Si River, north of the Qufu City. In order to know whether the water quality status in Si River can meet the requirements for landscaping use for the proposed project, Jining Municipal EPB was entrusted for this assessment to collect all the monthly average data (July, 2007- September, 2009) since the cross sections for water quality control was set up in Yi River, of which the cross sections of both

As it can be seen in table 2.5-3, that during the rainy season, dry season and normal water level period, the CODcr and ammonia nitrogen indicators at cross sections of both Hongqi Sluice Gate and Longwandian Sluice Gate in the year 2007- 2010 can not meet the standard requirements of Category IV of the Ground Surface Water Environment Quality Standard (GB3838-2002), but can all satisfy that of Category V, so it can be used to take the water for landscaping.

The domestic sewage generated in the project area will all enter into the Sawage Treatment Plant in Qufu City and after processing and reach to the standard, it will be discharged into Yi River. Therefore, for understanding the water quality conditions in Yi river, the Qufu City EPB was entrusted for this assessment to collect statistic data of environment quality status for the Year 2007-2009 from cross section of Fendian Dam of Yi River. It has adopted a single factor index method to carry out assessment. For the local ground surface water, it implements standard of Category IV. The statistics result and assessment can be seen in Table 2.5-4, and the monitoring spot and location can be seen in figure 2.5-2.

Table 2.5-4 the Statistic Result and Assessment of Water Environment Quality Routine Monitoring for the Year 2007-2010 at Cross Section of Fendian Dam in Yi River Yi RiverCross Section of Fendian Mornitoring Dam Items Time Ammonia CODcr (mg/L) Nitrogen (mg/L) 2007 23.4 1.19 Routine Monitoring 2008 26.93 1.16 Annual Average Value 2009 27.68 0.98

As it can be seen in table 2.5-4, the CODcr and ammonia nitrogen indicators at cross sections of Fengdian Dam Sluice Gate for the year 2007-2010 in Yi River can meet the standard requirements of Category IV of the Ground Surface Water Environment Quality Standard (GB3838-2002). The water environment quality is good and it can satisfy the ground surface water environment functional requirements. There are no routine monitoring spots at Confucius Cave River and Mount Ni Reservoir and no other monitoring data collected as well, so it can not quantify assessment for this time. According to the introduction of local Environmental Protection Bureau and field survey of assessment staffs, there is not distribution of pollution source of industrial enterprises adjacent to Confucius Cave River and Mount Ni Reservoir, but only a small amount of domestic sewage effluent of villagers and agricultural non-point source pollution. So, the water environment quality can reach Grade IV standard. (3) Underground Water Based on environmental quality status statistical result at the routine underground water monitoring spot (Nan Spring) in the year of 2007-2009 provided by Qufu City EPB, it adopted the single factor index method for assessment. The statistical result and assessment result can be seen in Table 2.5-5 as follows: The monitoring spots and location can be seen in Figure 2.5-1.

As it can be seen in Table 2.5-7, the ambient air quality at the routine air monitoring spot (EPB) for the year 2007-2009 in Zoucheng City can meet the standard requirements of Grade II ofAmbient Air Quality Standard(GB3095- 1996).

The project areas of Mencius Mansion, Mencius Temple and Mencius Cemetery in Zoucheng City belong to the First Category Area of ambient air quality. But, due to a lack of routine monitoring spot, and no other monitoring data collected as well, it can not quantify the assessment for this time. According to the introduction of the local Environmental Protection Bureau and information collected through field survey of the assessment staffs, it is understood that although there is no any urban pollution source of industrial enterprises in the areas of “three Mencius”, but 10% of the residents adopted coal as domestic fuel and all of the residents in the urban area rely on coal for heating in winter. As the result, the ambient air quality of these areas in winter can not meet Grade I of air quality standards. (2) Surface Water Based on the statistical result of water environmental quality status at the routine monitoring spot (Yasheng Bridge monitoring cross section on Dasha River) for the year 2007-2009 provided by Zoucheng EPB, it has adopted the single factor index method for assessment. The statistical and assessment results are shown in Table 2.5- 8. The monitoring spot and location can be seen in Figure 2.5-4.

As it can be seen in Table 2.5-8, the CODcr indicator for 2007-2009 water quality at the monitoring cross section of Yasheng Bridge on Dasha River in Zoucheng City were up to the standard, but the ammonia nitrogen indicators exceeded the standard, that is 0.71 times higher in 2008 and 0.38 times higher in 2009 respectively. Therefore, the water quality of Dashahe River in Zoucheng City can not meet the functional requirements of surface water environment. The reason for exceeding the standard is mainly related to randomly emission of urban production and domestic sewage, and direct emission of the villages’ domestic sewage along the riversides without passing through any sewage treatment process. The Dasha River converges into the Baima River finally, for which it is implementing the Category III of Water Quality Standard. But due to a lack of routine monitoring spot, and no other monitoring data collected as well, it can not quantify the assessment for this time. According to the introduction of the local Environmental Protection Bureau and information collected through field survey of the assessment staffs, it is understood that the water quality of Baima River in territory of Zoucheng City can not meet standard requirements of Category III at present. The Xiwei Reservoir is the water source of industry of Zoucheng City, which is implementing Category IV of water quality standards. Due to a lack of routine monitoring spot, and no other monitoring data collected as well, it can not quantify the assessment for this time. According to the introduction of the local Environmental Protection Bureau and information collected through field survey of the assessment staffs, it is understood that the water quality of Xiwei Reservoir can meet the

As it can be seen in Table 2.5-9, the individual year and various indicators of the groundwater routine monitoring spot (Tang village) in Zoucheng City can meet the standard requirements of Category III of theUnderground Water Quality Standard(GB/T14848-93). The quality of the current groundwater environment quality in Zoucheng area is good. According to the monitoring data provided by Zoucheng City environmental monitoring station, the monitoring value of routine monitoring spot at Tang Village, north of the urban area of Zoucheng City in 2009 is pH7.31, total hardness 409mg/L, permanganic acid index 0.511mg/L, ammonia nitrogen 0.009mg/L, nitrite nitrogen 0.008mg/L and total coliform groups 1/L, while it has not found out the fluoride, the volatility phenol, the cyanide, the mercury, the arsenic, the cadmium, the chromium and the lead. Therefore, all indices can satisfy standard requirements of Category III

of the Ground Surface Water Environment Quality Standards (GB3838-2002),

which means that the ground water quality is good.

According to the survey and relevant materials provided by Qufu and Zoucheng local Environmental Protection Departments, only about 50% of domestic waste water generated by the residents and tourists in the project area can be collected effluent into the sewage pipeline networks, the remaining untreated sewage are directly discharged into drainage ditch along two sides of the roads. Then it merged into the surrounding water body, causing pollution of water quality in the surrounding water. 2.6.2.2 Waste Gas 1. The Fuel Waste Gas of Residents In the project area, the resident lives mainly on the liquefied petroleum gas, supplemented with some honeycomb briquets. Through the investigation, it is known that there are 1429 households in all in the Qufu project area, about 90% of total residents use the liquefied petroleum gas. Through the investigation, the consumption is about 1.0kg/per household daily, the annual consumption is 469.43t/a; 10% of the residents still burn the coal as fuel. Through the investigation, the consumption of coal is about 3.6kg/household daily, the annual consumption is about 187.77t/a. In the project area, all the residents burn the coal for heating in winter. The heating period is totally 120 days, the consumption of honeycomb briquet is the 12kg/household/day, and the annual consumption is about 2057.76t/a. There are 1314 households in total in Zoucheng project area, about 90% of residents use the liquefied petroleum gas, the annual consumption of LPG is 431.65t/a; 10% of the residents burn the coal, the annual consumption is about 172.66t / a. In project area, the residents’ annual consumption of coal for heating in winter is about 1892.16t / a. Liquefied petroleum gas is one of the petroleum products, simplified as LPG. It is some kind of colorless, volatile gas from refinery or oilfield through process of putting pressure, reducing temperature, liquefying, etc. The LPG obtained from the refinery are mainly composed of propane, propylene, butane and butene, also

The main pollutants are smoke soot generated, NOx, SO2. Since LPG is a clean fuel, the amount of pollutants is not much produced. Its emission means is the non-organization source emission. According to “the part of domestic exhaust gas and coal cinder-production and emission coefficient of domestic source fuel gas burning facilities of urban and township” of Manual on Production and Emission Coefficient of the First National Pollution Source Census of Urban and Township Life Source(Mar. 2008), theoretically 1 metric ton of LPG’s burning could produce about 17000Nm3 of exhaust gas. Its production and emission coefficient of main pollutants is 4.68 g/t - gas, SO2 25 kg/t - gas, NOx 21.8 kg/t - gas. The current conditions of gas emission from the proposed project area can be seen in Table 2.6-3. The coal consumption of project area is mainly supplied from local coal mines of Jining City. Through the investigation, the fuel coal indicates Vdaf29.57%, St, daf0.57%, Aad18.48%.

This assessment will not make statistic about it. 2.6.2.3 Solid Waste The solid waste in the project areas mainly composed of food debris, coal cinder, waste paper, glass, plastic and scrap metal, etc. According to estimation on generation indicators of urban solid waste, it has 0.5kg solid waste generated per person per day. In the project area of Qufu, there are 8000 residents and managing staffs at present, producing 1460t/d of domestic garbage. There are 4.27 million mobile people, and producing 2135t/d of domestic garbage. In the project area of Zoucheng, there are 5600 residents and managing staffs, producing 1022t/d of domestic garbage. There are 2.5 million mobile people, producing 1250t/d of domestic garbage. Currently, there is no a unified and adequate garbage collection facility in the project area. Some of the garbage is collected by sanitation workers for recovery, and the collection rate is about 60%, and the remained solid wastes generally are thrown away, causing a long-term stockpiling. 2.6.2.4 Noise The major source of existing noise in the project area is of the traffic and community noises in the commercial area. The traffic noise is mainly from roads in the local area, and the community noise is mainly from the life activity in the commercial streets of the project area. 2.6.2.5 Aggregation of Current Conditions of Pollutants Emission in the Project Area The aggregation of current conditions of pollutants emission in the project area of Qufu and Zoucheng can be seen in the Table 2.6-5 and Table 2.6-6 as follows:

Project Description 3.1 Project Background and its Significance 3.1.1 The Needs for Local Environmental Quality Improvement and for Cultural Heritage Preservation and development

Being as the historic cultural cities of over 3000 years, both Qufu and Zoucheng was well endowed with rich tangiable and intangiable cultural heritages. As the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, these two cities are important cradles of Chinese traditional culture, the oriental culture and world civilization, and what is more, the center and holly land for carrying forward Confucius Culture. But, due to the inefficient safegaurd maganism and enforcement of the preservation plan

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ ,PSDFWÃ 5HSRUWÃ RIÃ 6KDQGRQJÃ &RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ &XOWXUHÃ +HULWDJHÃ 3URWHFWLRQÃ DQGÃ'HYHORSPHQWÃ3URMHFWÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ$QDO\VLVÃ opproved by the government, and also following the historic change and local economic development, it has brought up unplanned dismantaling and construction by the original residents, as well as uncontrolled growth of new residents migrating from outside. With the stagnant infrastructure construction and a seris of other problems, it has endangered sustainable development of the local economy. Obviously, the dynamics for preservation of pysical cultural relics is insufficient, and the cultural heritage is even being nibbled gradually, some of the physical relics are under very dangerous situation. Take Confucius Mansion as an example, the mid-wing of the Mansion was overhauled approximately 60 years ago. In recent years, although the routine maintenance is being carried out annually, but with insufficient input; About 60% of color paintings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are at the critical conditions, and 30% of the historic buildings with their black brick wall surface and the ground at the serious corroded destruction condition; Some 20% of roof and wooden frame structure need to be maintained. Such problems exist widely in each cultural heritage site. There are 15 most important Mansions inside the historic city, except for 3 Mansions abtained the good protection, and the rest 13 Mansions each has only remained less than 10% of its original architectural scale and are all in danger without proper protection.

Although the Ming Historic City of Qufu and Historic Urban Area of Zoucheng have been designated as Famous Historic Cultural Cities under national-level protection, but for several decades, they have only controlled the height of building construction, and most of the traditional archtetures have been changed; The majority of the residential buildings were built in 1950’s or 1960’s of last century, with low contruction quanlity in general and over-sized population density. The roads were only treated with simple hardening, without comfortable and qualified drainage and lighting. A lot of garbage was dumped randomly and sewage was discharged without proper disposal, as the result, it caused serious pollution to the surrounding environment Through implementation of this project, it will promote the physical preservation of cultural relics and relevant technical development. Through the protection and upgrading of historical cultural street block, it will promote the community development. Through landsaping and afforestation of environment and public space, it will make historic city more attractive to the tourists. Through construction of

Eventually, it will improve the quality of degenerating cultural heritage assets; Fully explore prolific thoughts of Confucius and Mencius Culture and profound spriritual base of oriental holy landTo have the magnificent cultural heritage assets of Chinese 5000 years’ civilization left over in Qufu and Zoucheng protected and developed. Therefore, it is of important cultural value and protection benefits. 3.1.2 The Need for Conscientiously Implementing the State and Shandong Provincial Policies on Enhancement of Cultural Heritage Preservation. The Party Committee of CPC and Chinese Government have always attached great importance to the conservation of cultural relics and have promulgated the The Law on Cultural Relics Protection of the People's Republic of ChinaRegulations for the Implementation of Preservation of Cultural Relics of the People’s Republic of Chinaand other laws and regulations; The Provincial and Municipal Athorities have also promulgated the Regulations of Shandong Provincial Cultural Relics Protection LawSolutions of Jining Municipal Cultural Relics Preservation and other local laws and regulations for heritage preservation, thus providing the relevant authorities to practice management according to law with a legal guarantee In addition, theNotice on Print and distributing the Master Plan of Large Heritage Sites During the “11th Five-Year Plan” Period (10, 2008) promulgated by National Cultural Relic Bureau and Ministry of Finance have confirmed to enlist Qufu Lu Kingdom onto the namelist of the Key Large Heritage Sites (100 sites in total), which will be involved in this project. The National Athority will allocate a special budget for protection of these large heritage assets, so as to implement preservation engineering works for effective preservation of physical heritage assets and their environmental settings. Meanwhile, it will strengthen presentation and publicity work, upgrading the levels of preservation, management and utilizationin comprehensively, so as to realize sustainable development for cultural relic protection undertakings.

The document of Opinions on Work of Cultural Heritage Protection in Qufu ZoneNo.12[2009] issued by National Cultural Heritage Bureau has explicitly proposed to support developing cultural heritage preservation work in Qufu Zone (including Qufu and Zoucheng). It has also proposed that under the guidance of

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ ,PSDFWÃ 5HSRUWÃ RIÃ 6KDQGRQJÃ &RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ &XOWXUHÃ +HULWDJHÃ 3URWHFWLRQÃ DQGÃ'HYHORSPHQWÃ3URMHFWÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ$QDO\VLVÃ cultural heritage preservation plan, the local authority should make an overall arrangement of preservation works including rehabilitation of physical body of cultural heritage assets, protection of affiliated cultural relics, protected facilities construction, infrastructure construction, and environmental management and control. It should earnestly enforce the national laws, regulations, and principals and policies regarding the work of cultural heritage preservation, and insist on the principal of “Focus on Preservation While Putting Rescue First”. It is obvious that strengthening infrastructural construction of cultural heritage preservation work is badly needed for realizing the sustainable development of cultural heritage preservation. The contents of project construction are the key component of national large heritage sites preservation program and Qufu Zone cultural heritage preservation work. The construction of the project has to be established and implemented under the guidance of the program, meeting the requirements of the national and provincial policies on cultural relic preservation. It will further strengthen protection and management of key cultural relics of Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage Sites according to the laws. This is of great significance in both implementing the relevant preservation policies and promoting the sustainable development of cultural relics protection work. 3.1.3 Beneficial to Meet the Needs of Archological Work and Study on Confucius and Mencius Culture. As a living fossil of historical process, cultural relics are the vivid testimony to the fact of historic development. The archaeological work and study on cultural relics will help us to understand the evolution of human development. It is also helpful to enlighten the level of appreciation, enrich the spiritual cultural life, and then propel the exploitation and utilization of resources. The proposed project involves the area of two cities, including a world-class cultural heritage and also a number of national, provincial and municipal level cultural relic assets and cultural heritage sites. The rich cultural resources have great value for scientific research, publicity and education, while the architectures of historic cities, as important part of historic remains, have reflected the achievement in various aspects of science, technology, culture and arts, as well as social political and economic situation in ancient times.

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ ,PSDFWÃ 5HSRUWÃ RIÃ 6KDQGRQJÃ &RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ &XOWXUHÃ +HULWDJHÃ 3URWHFWLRQÃ DQGÃ'HYHORSPHQWÃ3URMHFWÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ$QDO\VLVÃ They are the crystallization of wisdom and diligence of ancient people. It has important historical, artistic and scientific value. Through construction of this project, it will benefit research and protection of this precious outstanding cultural heritage, meanwhile, it is also the important advantage for promoting the development of local economy, and serves better to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the broad masses of people. 3.1.4 It is the key Component of Chinese Cultural Landmark City Construction, Local Heritage Preservation and Urban Construction. The Chinese Cultural Landmark City was jointly intiated and established by the Organizing Committee of “Chinese Cultural Tie Project”, social community groups and organizations, and academician of two key academies in China, as well as compatriots and patriotics from all walks of life at home and abroad. It aims to carry out the great work of strengthening Chinese cultural cohesive force. The document ofNotice on Relevant Opinions of Chinese Cultural Landmark City Projectissued by NDRC in 2009 explicitly pointed out: Do well the world cultural heritage (“three Confucius”) and the extension project of world cultural heritage, national historic cultural famous city, the protection of densely distributed numerous large heritage sites and numerous key cultural relic protection units in the areas, and also do well the works of ecological environmental protection, and do well the projects of environment management and control, as well as the infrastructural facilities, etc. By so doing, it enables to have even more significance of Chinese cultural landmarking, and creates a unique spiritual cultural space with the functions of morality, education, commemoration and demonstration. The Construction Project of Shandong Provincial Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage Site Preservation is an important component of Chinese Cultural Landmark City construction. It plays an important role in promoting the preservation of Confucius and Mencius cultural heritage assets and the construction of spiritual culture.

As a precious World Heritage and Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit, Shandong Provincial Government, Qufu and Zoucheng Governments have all paid great concern on local heritage preservation. They have set up specialized agencies, and organized the development of various kinds of plans. While undertaking the urban construction and economic development, they have always put priority of their work on the preservation of cultural relics, and have combined the preservation and tourism

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ ,PSDFWÃ 5HSRUWÃ RIÃ 6KDQGRQJÃ &RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ &XOWXUHÃ +HULWDJHÃ 3URWHFWLRQÃ DQGÃ'HYHORSPHQWÃ3URMHFWÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ$QDO\VLVÃ development with the economic development systematicly. The construction of proposed project will enhance the dynamics and capacity of local authorities in cultural heritage preservation, and strengthen local infrastructure construction and environment landscaping, and upgrade the image and attractiveness of the cities. It is the key important component of local heritage preservation and urban construction planning. Therefore, it plays an important role in promoting the preservation of cultural relic assets and economic development in these two areas. 3.1.5 It is the Need for Furthering Great Development and Great Prosperity of Culture. To promote the great development and great prosperity in culture is the key and large strategic deployment made by Party’s 17th National Congress of Central Committee of CPC. In order to implement the outlook of scientific development and the spirit of Party’s 17th National Congress, the Shandong CPC and Provincial Government issued the call to the whole province on constructing economic and cultural strong province. This has fully reflected that the Paty’s organizations at all levels in Shandong and people of the entire province have high consouciusness and scientific approach towards cultural development, as well as their strong sense of historic mission and commitment to it. Both Qufu and Zoucheng are the most important famous historic and cultural cities in Shandong Province. Confucianism is the most outstanding and greatest influencial cultural resources in Shandong. The important position of cultural construction of Qufu and Zoucheng in Shandong can not be substituted and copied. Therefore, the construction of this project will play an important role in promoting the economic development and cultural prosperity of the two areas. 3.1.6 It Is the Need for Improving Reginal Environment and Reduction of Pollutants Emissions Both Ming Historic City of Qufu and Historic City of Zoucheng have widely low quanlity of residential buildings, excessive high population density and lack of complete environmental protection facilities. They also need to further improve drainage and refuse collection systems. At present, a large amount of garbages and sewage are being dumped or discharged randomly without proper treatment, resulting in serious regional environmental pollution. Through the project construction, it will improve environmental protection infrastructure, reduce the quantity of pollutant emissions, and also improve the environment in the project areas.

3.2 Analysis on Compatibility of Project Construction and Relevant Policies 3.2.1 National Policies (1) Industrial Policy In the Article No. 25 of “Other Service Trade” of the No.40 Decree "Guidance Catalogue for Adjustment of Industrial Structure (version, 2005)issued by National Development and Reform Commission, it has enlisted “Cultural Relics Protection and Facilities Construction” into the catorgery of encouraged projects. It shows that the implementation of cultural heritage protection project by using the loan of World Bank belongs to the category of encouragement for development, which fully conforms to the present executive national industrial policy.

(2) The National Programme for “11th Five-Year” Plan of Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites Protection The National Programme for “11th Five-Year” Plan of Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites Protection has made analysis on current status and existing problems on management work of Chinese cultural heritage sites protection, and put forward the guiding ideology and basic principles for heritage sites preservation. It has calarified the general target and primary task, and proposed the safeguard mechanism for the implementation of the Programme. This implementation of this project meets the requirements of the Programme contents, and it is advantageous in realizing the Programme objective.

3.2.2 Chinese Strategy of World Bank Chiese Strategy and Plan of World Bank are mainly shown in several aspects as follows (1) Improve the business environment, help accelerate the market economy switch, adopt fundamental mode for a series of knowledge transfer activity. The priority of support is put on assisting the central and local governments at all levels to strengthen macro economic management, help China to integrate itself into the global economy, push forward the reform of monetary system, promote private enterprise

For preventing historic sites from the damage and being convenient to the pedestrians to visit, and also within the allowable scope of cultural relics preservation, it could build these paths over the historic ruins and sites with some simple trestle pass and trestle bridges, so as to prvide more convenience and pleasant views to the tourists. 2. City Wall Preservation and Exhibition It needs to clear up the ruins of city wall and moat, set up a boundary tablet at an interval of every 50 meters, determine the visiting route, and to undertake necessary engineering measures and ecological measures for the protection of the ruins surface. It should take ecological measures by choosing the local shallow-rooted and vein grass species with good soil fixing effect, while meeting the requirements for preventing and controlling water and soil erosion, so as to improve the coverage rate of ground vegetation. 3. Preservation of Stele Area for Harnessing Zhushui River Repair the Spring Source Pond, desilt and delimit the boundary of preservation scope; Carry out greening and afforestation. 4. Tourist Service Facilities By considering that the tourists will increase significantly after this project is completed and put into use, and in order to maintain the environment of exhibition zone and provide convenience to tourists, it plans to set up sorting dust bins, which has to be compatible with the surrounding environment of the historic urban area along the tourist passageways in the heritage display zone. And in order to meet tourists’ needs for having a relaxation or taking a rest here, the special relaxation areas are planned to set up in the northeastern and southeastern corners of Lu Historic City respectively. Because that the project area is far away from the urban supporting facilities (such as the sewage collection system, etc.), it needs a huge investment to divert the local sewage to the municipal sewage drainage network. Therefore, it will adopt full- automatic intelligent water-free flushing lavatories instead, which applys advanced solid-liquid separation technology to separate feces from urines. Then, the feces could be crushed by the treatment system. Urines are sterilized, disinfected, deodorized and purified by using specific toilet treatment agents, so the treated urines can be recycled for flushing feces, and thus water-free flushing is achieved. All process mentioned

It adopts ecological method in the construction and layout. The optimum carrying capacity of tourists flow is 3000 persons per day based on the tourists’ projection data collected and provided by Zoucheng Tourism Bureau. If it was calculated by that the average visiting period is 2 hours per person and the opening time is 8 hours every day, and then, the turnover rate is 4. It means that it could receive 750 persons at the meantime. If it took 20 persons for a large-sized bus, and then, it is in need of 38 parking positions, and 38 × 68.3/bus =2596. Therefore, the Parking Lot shall cover an area of 3000. 5Comprehensive Transform along the Eastern Side of the Ceremonial Passageway in Mencius Cemetery Xishantou Village is closely connected with Mencius Cemetery. By upgrading the infrastructure and building façade and promoting the tourist reception of Xishantou Village, finally the whole Village can be turned into a supporting facility of the scenic spot of Mencius Cemetery and provide tourists with good services. (1) Street and Alley Pass: For street and alley pass reconstruction of Xishantou Village, in consideration of the passageway of pedestrians and non-power-driven vehicles, it should be single- width pavement, with 3.5m wide and full width paved with blue stone plates.

According to the users’ requirements for power loading capacity and the regional reliability, different power supply means are adopted such as switching substation, ring mains cabin unit, and distribution boxes, etc. (3) Roadway Lighting: It will adopt Chinese style wall lamps or pole lamps; arrange them at an interval of 20 meters and making reasonable arrangement at the corner positions, totally 32 lamps. (4) Water Supply Facilities: There is one self-prepared water supply source, being a 50m deep pumping well, located in the south of Mencius Cemetery, and the west side of its Ceremonial Passageway. Water yield is 50m3 per hour, and water quality is quite good. At present the whole village is relying on the domestic water supply from the source. The newly built tourist center’s daily maximum water consumption is 63m3/day (including sanitary water of tourists 57m3/day, the office water consumption of the Research Institute 1m3/day, floor-clearning water consumption 2 m3/day, and greening water consumption 3 m3/day). The original self-prepared water source can meet the demand of water supply. The design for the project is to use a main pipe of water supply to connect with the existing water supply pipeline of Xishantou Village. The diameter of this main pipe of water supply is DN100, and 150m long. The material of this pipe is made of nodular cast iron pipe, with 3 units of valve wells; the water consumption of the Research Institute, the tourist center, and greening water consumption, and floor- cleaning water consumption will be all directly provided through this water supply pipeline. (5) Sewage Facilities: For the construction of this Tourist Center, it needs sewage pipes, drain lines and sewage treatment facilities as its supporting facilities. If it was caculated by that the discharge amount of sewage will account for 90% of total water consumption of the tourists, the maximum daily discharge amount of sewage will be 56.7m3/d; supposing that the daily change coefficient is 1.2, the average daily discharge amount of sewage will be 48m3/d. In the consideration of the long-term development of tourism, the design scale of the sewage treatment station will be 60m3/d.

The sewage after being treated by the sewage treatment station shall meet B Standard of Grade I of GB18918-2002 in Pollutants Emmission Standard for Urban and Township Sewage Treatment Plant. The diameter of main pipe of sewage collection: De300; total length of pipeline: 180m; the pipe material: HDPE double-wall corrugated pipe; with manhole: 10 units. (6) Sanitation Facilities: At present, there is not any refuse collection system for the domestic refuse of Xishantou villagers. The garbage scatters here and there, seriously influencing the environmental sanitation. This project proposes to newly construct one container-type garbage collection station. According to Standard of Urban and Township Sanitation Facilities Arrangement (Notice No.310 issued by Ministry of Construction of the People’s Republic of China), if it was caculated by that the proposed garbage transfer station serves a population of 1600 persons and the maximum number of tourists are 8100 person/day, then the desgined Garbage Transfer Station should have capacity of 10 tons. It will be equipped with 1 unit of sealed garbage transfer truck of 6 tons cargo capacity and 30 units of Sorting Dust Bins. It needs to point out especially that the construction of Tourist Service Center and Parking Lot, etc. does not involve the construction contents of cultural heritage preservation. They are not within the scope of Mencius Cemetery Protection Area (The scope of Mencius Cemetery Protection Area is delimited a boundary line from the eastern edge of Mount Siji in the east, to the southern ditch of an orchard of Xishantou Village in the north, and to the western edge of Small Mencius Forest in the west, and then to the northern edging ditch of Xishantou Village in the south, and 20m away from both sides of Ceremonial Passageway Forest). 3.4.3 The Construction Contents and Scale of Upgrading of Historic City Areas & Infrastructure 3.4.3.1 Renewal and Infrastructure Upgrading of Ming Historic City in Qufu

1. The Upgrading of Historic Street Block It needs to point out specially that the choice of reformed street block does not involve the cultural relic, and has not include the Cultural Relic Protection Unit, and also not in the scope of cultural relics preservation. It belongs to the street blocks with imperfect infrastructure, poor housing conditions. The street block buildings are mainly modern architectures or crude shed lodgings. In the upgrading process, it has to pay special attention to the preservation and repairs of still existing traditional individual residential buildings, while carrying out reconstruction of other modern architectures or crude shed lodgings according to the tradional forms. After completing the reconstruction, they can serve as a historic cultural street block with mixed functions of residence and business. This type of reconstruction adopts ways that it will have cooperation with local residents through community participation and establishment of resettlement areas with bertter living conditions and convenience outside historic city. Then, the residents may choose initiatively and volantarily for either moving back to their original street block or remain in their newly resettled area. This part of construction contents will not generate impact on the protection of cultural relics. The concrete scope of cultural heritage preservation in Ming Historic City can be seen in Table 3.4-10. The reform and upgrading program are made in accordance with existing style of traditional residential architecture, its relevant maps and historic documents and on- site survey as well. It will be reconstructed according to the traditioanal style and fabric of traditional street block, meanwhile it will carry out some necessary updating and development of new materials and technique, such as kitchen, sanitation, fireproof, moisture proof as well as energy-saving; The new buildings will maintain

The Upgrading of Urban Infrastructure in Eastern Area of Qufu City (1) Road Program Discription According to the overall plan of Qufu Eastern District, The main construction contents are of improvement and repairs basing upon the original road conditions.The total length of street rehabilitationis 9111mwith total area: 79983. (2)Water Supply and Drainage Facilities The Eastern District of Ming Historic City at present has only an incomplete water supply and drainage system. The drainage pipe network is of mixed storm and sewage water, and most of the streets have no organized drainage facilities, resulting in great amount of sewage discharged directly into the Gupan Pond thus polluting its water body. This proposed infrastructural construction will, in accordance with the combination of the building layout and functional status as well as external pipe network construction plan, try to improve people’s life, fire proof water supply pipelines and separation of storm and sewage water collection pipe networks. It will enhance the attractiveness of the area and its livability. 1Water Supply Facillity The mian water supply networks adopts ball milling cast iron pipes for water supply (which DN100:1570m; DN150: 4795m; DN200: 585m); The water supply branch pipe adopts PE pipe network, with length 3,000 meters; It needs to set up 70 units of bricks laid valve wells. 2Drainage Facility Sewage Pipe Network The Eastern District of Ming Historic City at present has only an incomplete sewage water collection pipeline system, with partly established stone laid underground or openned ditches, which are used for collecting mixed storm and sewage water, and most of the streets have no organized drainage facilities, resulting in great amount of sewage discharged directly into the openned ditch thus resulting in very poor sanitation. This proposed design intends to lay down complete and perfect public utility drainage pipelines which will separate storm from sewage water

The sewage pipelines will be laid independently, and linked with original main sewage pipelines at nearby new city area, eventually the sewage water entering into Urban Sewage Treatment Plant. The main drainage pipeline adopts double wall corrugated pipe (the specification to be as follows: De300:10000m, De400:3000m, De500:270m); the outlet drainage pipeline adopts double wall corrugated pipe (the De110~De200:3000m). It needs to set up 410 sewage manholes (main pipelines); 1500 sewage manholes (outlet of household). Rain Water Facility The Eastern District at present has no a complete and perfect storm water collection pipeline system, with only partly established stone laid underground or openned ditches. Now, it intends to reform the stone laid underground ditch into storm ditch underground and partly widened, while in some small streets where there are not storm ditches, it will build up storm drainage pipelines. After collecting storm water, those collected from one side of Drum Tower South Street and South Gate Avenue will be discharged into the main storm water pipe networks in the new city area while the storm water collected from one side of Dongma Street will be discharged into the nearby moat directly. The scale of construction is as follows: reinforced concrete stormwater channel 7310m: (Size: BXH = 400X600 3900m; BXH = 500X600 2100m; BXH = 600X800 760m; BXH = 700X800 550m); storm water connection pipe (DN200) 2500m; 250 units storm manholes; 500 units single comb outlets. (3) Road Lighting According to the arrangement requirements on grade of urban road, it adopts Chinese traditional wall lamp or pole lamp, with an interval of 20m and reasonable layout at corner configuration. It selects energy saving wall lamp for light source and pole lamp with 3.5m in height and golden helide for light source. It needs to put up 900 lighting settings in total. (4) Fuel Gas The fuel (coal) gas is mainly used by residential households in the small urban area, while few public buildings, schools and nurseries and other units also use gas.

The regional gas trunk pipelines were introduced from urban medium pressure gas mains. In planning area of the proposed project, it intends to adopt circular pipe network laying form and set up a reginal regulator at trunk of each small residential area. After reducing the pressure, the fuel gas will be sent to various users. The pipe network will be laid on circular layout along the road, and then enter into the grouping pipeline by dendritic layout. The flowing capacity of gas pipeline in small residential area will be calculated by Qj = 1093 NM/h, and regional trunk diameter of gas supply is DN300mm. (5) Heating Supply To set a heating mode for each of households, it adopts air conditioning mode with air-cooled machine to supply cooling air in summer. This program adopts a heating mode by using a district heating supply station to regulate heating supply, and will establish a heat distribution station in southern and northern areas respectively by setting up heating circuit according to use functions so as to realize on-demand heating supply. All outdoor heating supply and return water pipes are buried with insulation pipe laying mode. In particular, it needs to indicate that it should carry out feasibility assessment on laying heating pipelines in ancient architectural street block. (6) Environmental Sanitation Facility Through the statistic survey assisted by local environmental sanitation sector, it is confirmed that the present garbage transfer system in eastern distric of Ming Historic City is basically complete, but its collection system inside Ming City still exists the following problems: the arrangement of garbage collecting points are relatively scattered in random and except for the area near tourist attractions or scenic spots, the number of sorting dust bins in street block are not sufficient. This project plans to add 160 garbage sorting bins and try to collect and dispose the garbage in a centralized way. The road map of engineering works for the infrastructure construction and upgrading in the eastern urban area of Ming Historic City can be seen in Figure 3.4- 12.

3.4.3.2 Environment Improvement and River Course Rehabilitation of Lu Historic City and Ming Historic City in Qufu The project will rebuild the links among various waterways and restore the formation of living water system. Meanwhile, it will restore the water surface of Gu Pan Pond to the area that is able to adjuste inner city ecological environment, and also converge into the living water of outer Moat. Eventually, it will establish a three stages water system including Si River - Lu City River (Zhu River) - Ming City Moat (passing through Gu Pan Pond)- Yi River. (Ming City Moat has already been linked with Yi River). Due to the limited funds for this project, it will not consider to restore the first stage water system (It will establish another project independently and make an EA report independently as well). Therefore, this project will only ensure ample water source of the second and the third water system, and complete the construction of landscaping and roads. It adopts the form of linking Lu Historic City River with Ming Historic City Moat by urban water channel; It should conduct dredging and diversion on Moat of Ming Historic City and link it with Gupan Pond by artificial inlet and outlet channels, so as to expand the wate surface of Gupan Pond, thus restore the historical appearance of ancient garden, and provide urban residents and tourists with a public open space. The specific construction contents can be seen in Table 3.4- 7. The distribution and rehabilitation of water system is in Map 3.4-13.

The First Stage Water System - Si River Dam and Diverting Water to City Project. According to the designed contents of The Proposal on Engineering Works of Diverting Water from Dam of Si River into City of Qufucompleted by Qufu Water Resources Bureau in June 2010but has not yet been reviewed and finalized., the water source of this proect is located at Si River in the north of Qufu City, and the outlet is located on the upper reaches of Si River, 100m away from College Rd. Bridge of No.104 State Highway (Stake No.65+400). It plans to build up a rubber dam at lower reaches of Si River, 286m away from College Rd. Bridge of No.104 State Highway (Stake No.65+000), so as to intercept and store water source, and to lift up water levels. The designed axis of the dam is 150m long, 4.5m in dam height, 4.9m in water intercepting height and 3.6 million m3 in storage capacity of the reservoir. The diverting pipeline will pass through College, acrossing Lin River and Shengguo Temple, then acrossing No.104 State Highway, eventually flowing into the Moat at northeast corner of Xiaobeiguan.The designed flow volume is 0.55m3/s. The water diversion pipeline is pre-buried and reinforced concrete pipeline with inner diameter 1200mm and total length of pipeline 3850m. As an urban landscape water diversion project, water resources volume of Si River has to firstly meet the ecological water requirement downstream, followed by the needs of irrigation downstream, and then the amount of water diversion for the works in this project (0.55 m3/s); In addition, the water quality in the Si River needs to meet the requirements of Category V standard in Surface Water Environment Quality Standards(GB3838-2002). (1)Analysis on Water Resources Supply According to the statistic result of runoff mornitoring data collected by Si River College Hydrological Station in 37 years from 1973 to 2009 since the establishment of the Hongqi Sluice Gate at up-stream, the average annual flow capacity of Si River is 6.83m3/s, and its corresponding runoff volume is 215 million m3. According to the commonly used method for analysis on ecological water use in China at present, the demanded ecological water capacity downstream has to be calculated by 10% of the average annual water flow capacity for many years taken at cross section of the stream. Since the average annual flow capacity at the College Hydrological Station is 6.83m3/s, the ecological flow capacity downstream is 0.683m3/s, and the cooresponding runoff capacity is 21.5 million m3.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ The main irrigation area downstream is irrigated area of River Intecepting Dam at Chenzhai Village, which was started construction in March 1978 and completed in March 1983. It adopted two ways either flowing by gravity or intaking by pump.The original designed irrigation area is 20,000mu, and the current effective irrigation area is about 15,400mu. The main planting crops in the area are wheat and corn, which needs irrigation for 3 times each year. If the irrigation quota is calculated by 150m3/mu, the annual irrigation water consumption would be about 2.31 million m3. If considering additional new demand for water pumping, the irrigation water capacity downstream would be 3 million m3. The designed amount of water diversion in this project is 0.55m3/s, which is equivalent to 17.3 million m3 per year. After meeting the needs for ample ecological water and irrigation water downstream, the annual remaining amount of water resources in Si River is 190.5 million m3, which can meet the demand of water diversion for this project. (2)Analysis on Water Quality Requirement According to the 2007-2010 annual environmental quality statistical results of the monitoring point of surface water in the upstream of Si River (Hongqi Sluice Gate section ) and monitoring points in downstream (Longwan Sluice Gate section) provided by Jining EPB, the surface water quality at mornitoring cross section in the Si River can meet the Grade V standard in Surface Water Quality Standards(GB3838-2002). The water quality of Si River can meet requirements for water use of landscape. In order to ensure the reliability of water resources to supply for water diversion in this project, the present EIA has made a further understanding about the sewage emission situation around the Si River. According to the survey, the current major pollution sources of the Si River are from Sishui Urban Sewage Treatment Plant, industrial wastewater generated by the two Paper Mills, domestic sewage generated by surrounding residents and pollution of the agricultural sectors. Since the project is located along the side of South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the discharge of the water pollutants in the region needs to be strictly controlled, and it should implement the requrirements of Shandong Provincial Standards for Water Pollutants Comprehensive Emission along the Channel of South –to-North Water Diversion Project. The people's governments above the county level should organize constructing urban sewage pipeline network, Sewage Treatment

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ Plants and centralized solid waste treatment facilities in accordance with the requirements of water pollution management and control, and ensuring the requirements of diverted water quality. In accordance with Shandong Provincial Ordinance for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution in the Region along the Channel of South-to-North Water Diversion Project(30th. Nov. 2006), the Urban Sewage Treatment Plant in Sishui City was built and put into operation in late 2004, with designed treatment capacity of 40 thousand t/d, and total project investment of 155.54 million yuan. The oxidation ditch process has been adopted by this Sewage Treatment Plant, and the actual daily treatment capacity is 32,500t/d. After the effluent water quality meeting the Grade A. standard ofUrban Sewage Treatment Plant Emission Standards(GB18918-2002), then it can be discharged into Si River. Both these two Paper Mills have adopted market pulp paper production line, which does not involve wood pulp and straw pulp preparation in the production process, resulting in less wastewater pollutants. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection, these two enterprises have constructed Sewage Treatment Stations to treat their wastewater in the Mills and have also built intermediate water reuse project to increase water reuse and reduce wastewater discharge respectively. The technology of wastewater treatment process adopted by the two mills is mature and reliable.The quality of wastewater after being treated have reached the standards (COD100mg/L, Ammonia Nitrogen 15mg/L) of generally protected areas ofShandong Provincial Standards for Water Pollutants Comprehensive Emission along the Channel of South-to-North Water Diversion Project(DB37599-2006) and then it can be discharged. As for the control of domestic sewage emission and pollution of agricultural sectors, according to the requirements of Article No.30 inShandong Provincial Ordinance for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution in the Region along the Channel of South-to-North Water Diversion Project(30th. Nov. 2006), it is stipulated that any unit or individual shall not be allowed to discharge or dump domestic sewage, garbage, all kinds of oil, acid liquid, alkaline liquid, highly toxic waste dregs and liquid as well as other toxic and harmful wastes into the water body. And in its Article No. 31, it sets out that “Pesticides with high toxicity and residue are prohibited to use along the project channel of the region. In generally protected areas, the amount of pesticides, chemical fertilizer and other agricultural inputs used should be gradually reduced. The People's Governments above the county level shall formulate specific

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ policies and measures to promote the use of organic manure and pesticides with high efficiency, low toxicity, low residue and easy biodegradablity. It tries to popularize the scientific fertilizer application technologies, such as precise fertilizer application and formular fertilizer application, and also encourage the use of biological pesticides and adopting integrated disease and pest prevention and control techniques". At present, Si Shui County and Qufu City People’s Governments have made a good control over the outlets of wastewater pollutants on two banks of the River. Wastewater discharge is strictly prohibited, and the pesticide with high toxicity and residue are banned to use, so as to ensure water quality of water body from pollution. Through a series of measures such as point sources governance, area source controlling, the water quality of Si River can be further purified to meet the requirements of water diversion egineering works in the project area. In summary, the water diversion egineering works from Si River for the First Stage Water System in the proposed project can meet the water demand both in water quantity of water recources and in water quality of water body. So, the construction of the project is feasible. 2. The Second Stage Water System: Upgrading of Water System in Ming Historic City Moat For the second stage water system, it has already completed the engineering works of upgrading the water course of Ming Historic City Moat. The proposed project will carry out management and control on the environment surrounding the Moat, construct the landscaping walkways 4200m long and 1.2m wide. The concrete design indicators are seen in Figure 3.4-14. Meanwhile, it will conduct afforestation on two banks of the Moat, with greening area 25200 square meters, as seen in Figure 3.4-15. It also plans to set up 42 sorting dust bins along the banks of the Moat.

Figure 3.4-15 Presentation of Greening Progam of Landscaping Walkways 3. The Third Stage Water System: Gupan Pond 1Inlet and Outlet Works According to historical sites, Wenxian Spring was the main water source of Gu Pan Pond. Now, it is still used as one of the replenishing water source for the Pond. Since the water quantity of Wenxian Spring is very small nowdays, it is afar from meeting the needs of replenishing water to the Pond. Though storm water can be collected from urban area and converged into the Pond as an alternative, it is constrained by the climate to a large extent, and can not guarantee the requirements of replenishment either in quanlity or in quantity. Therefore, chooseing ground water of river with both good quanlity and quantity becomes top priority. Since the water course of Ming City Moat has been upgraded and diverting works from Si River to the Moat has also come into the design and implementation phase, it is workable to put into effect the water system plan of Gu Pan Pond, which is included inThe Detailed Plan and Construction Program on Rehabilitation of Landscape Zone of Qufu Ming Historic City. The designed diverting capacity for the Moat is 0.55m3/s, which can simultaneously satisfy the requirements of water body self-purification, flowing, evaporation, seepage and circulation of Gu Pan Pond. Topographically, Qufu City area is high in the North and lower in the South, and high in the East and lower in the West. It is possible to construct underground drain at the northeast corner of the Gu Pan Pond and link the Pond with the Moat, so as to induce water of the Moat into the Pond. Because of change in current topography and building location, the original outlet (i.e the so called “mouth of Pond Gate” at present) and openned or underground ditches have all been blocked. Although some parts of these ditches are still faintly discernible, they are impossible to be used due to

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ many difficulties in conducting its dredging works, not to say that it is a bit far from the city Moat. Based on the current topographical conditions, the proposed design intends to set water outlet and under-drain outlet in southwest of Gupan Pond, convergeing the nearest moat downstream. By so doing, Gupan Pond could link with water system of the Moat through the underground ditch and thus become an integrated and dynamic flowing water body. In addition, thanks to the designed project of upgrading sewage drainage syetem in eastern urban district, the sewage water could not flow into the Pond, and thus water quanlity could be fully guaranteed. The specific inlet and outlet engineering work of Gupan Pond is seen in Figure 3.4- 16. (2) Gupan Pond Restoration Through dreging work of the Pond, its average water depth will reach 1.8m, while the water area will be expanded from current 10100 to 15300. It designs to set up 1 pavilion and 3 ancient architectures with a floor space of 350 surrounding the project area, so as to creat it a pleasant tourist attraction and intimated access by the local people.

1. Residential Building Upgrading and Renewal Basing up the original floor space, it plans to carry out upgrading and redevelopment on ratio of 2:3 between upgrading and redevelopment. The floor space of redevelopment will be 1.1 times larger than that of original floor space. (1) Building Reconstruction In Second Sage Mansion Street, Second Sage Road and Guojiepeng Street, it will choose the modern architectures or simple and crude housings without protection

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ value to be demolished along both sides of these streets and alleys. The average depth of demolished area along the two sides of the street is 20m. The buildings in street block A. will be completely demolished, and then be redeveloped according to the traditional architectural form. Meanwhile, necessary material and technical updating will be adopted, such as the kitchen, fire proof, moisture proof and energy saving, etc. Afterwards, the redeveloped street block will be turned as a historic cultural street block with mixed functions of both residence and commerce, and the traditional business shops will be put up in front-row housings along the streets. This type of arrangement can be realized through cooperation with residents. The local residents could also choose voluntarily either moving back to the redeveloped street block or choosing once for all compensation for their resettlement. The designed architectures should be generally controlled within two stories or below, except for very rare individual buildings that could be with three stories, of which the floor space of the first and the second story should account for two-thirds of the total, and that of the first story should account for one-third of the total. The redeveloped architectures in the street block area should maintain their original space forms and architectural fabric; Entrance gate, wall boundary stone, trees and courtyard reflecting the unique characteristics of the residents’ life, as well as the space with unique nature should be all remained. 2Architecture Upgrading It will carry out routine maintenance on old residential buildings with good structure in the street block, and will conduct upgrading on facade of traditional architectures which had changed partly according to their historical style and appearance, so as to let them being in consistent with the overall architectural style. 1. The Program of Street Block Upgrading The Mencius Primary School at the northwest corner of street block A will be reconstructed according to the scale of 48 classes, with each class 45 pupils. It covers an area of 15750 square meters, with volume ratio of 0.7. Due to the school adjacent to the city's main thoroughfares Gangshan road, to eliminate the traffic noise influence on teaching activities, the playground, games venues and activity venues will be located in the west of school, the distance between traffic artery and the classroom are more than 250m, by adopting honking measures, passing vehicle will not affect teaching activities.

2. Landmarking Archway and Public Building Redevelopment in Street Block According to historical photos and records, it plans to select the landmark archway and landmarking architectures to be restored or reconstructed. After completing the upgrading and redevelopment of the street block, the residential buildings will not only conform to the historical fabric, but also be in consistent with the overall environment of the whole street block in the historical record. 3. Street Block Traffic Facility At present, the layout and fabric of streets and alleys within the historic city are relatively maintained clearly. However, some pavement structure was changed, some was seriously damaged. The current streets and alleys network of the city was overlapped and built through different times. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the historical informations of various periods in the process of urban development. The proposed project will only involve the upgrading of pavement at some streets and

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ alleys, such as Second Sage Mansion Street, Guojiepeng Street, Second Sage Road and Street Block A. It will not conduct the road widening, while enhancing greening of the street block, so as to improve its livability and attractiveness. Considering the mixed vehicle and pedestrian access, it adopts the form of double width road, with whole site of black flagstone pavement laid to both sides of the buildings’ plinth. The road design has considered openning up with pedestrian access on both sides of buildings and with passageway of fire proof, so as to form a complete traffic system. It trys to adopt the original black flagstones for pavement as many as possible, and to chisel new flagstones by labour for meeting the rest insufficient part. 4Water Supply and Drainage Facilities Street Block A. basicly does not have systematic water supply and drainage pipelines separating rain water and sewage for the time being. The proposed cconstruction of infrastructure intends, in accordance with the building layout and function to improve the life of residents, fire proof water supply pipelines and drainage collection system separating rain water from sewage, so as to enhance its attractiveness and livability of the street block. 1Water Supply Facility The water supply is introduced from the main trunk pipelines of public utility. The main trunk pipeline is of annular layout. The water supply pipeline in the street block is of branch confugation. The material of water supply pipe is of the nodular (ductile) cast iron (DN150, 885m, DN100, 709m) and the PE pipe (water supply branch: De32 ~ 90,1.0 MPa, 4600m). 2Drainage Facility Rainwater and sewage should be collected separately. The street rainwater drainage system consisting of stone ditches will be fully built in traditional form. The sewage system, combining upgrading of residential kitchen and sanitation will form a complete drainage system, using PE double-wall drainage main pipes (mains: De400, 115m; De300, 1448m; outlet pipe of household drain: De110 ~ De200, 2300m). The rainwater drainage adopts reinforced concrete rainwater drainage ditch. 5Fuel Gas Natural gas, a clean energy of high quality and efficiency is the green energy greatly encouraged to develop by the state. Zoucheng enjoys advantages of having easy access to two major natural gas supply pipelines. Therefore, the development of

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ natural gas undertakings is an inevitable trend. In recent time, Zoucheng will still rely on gas source from coal chemical plant of Yanzhou Coal Mining Industry Corp. After the introduction of natural gas, Zoucheng should change to use natural gas instead of coal gas as soon as possible. It plans to supply the natural gas through medium pressure pipeline network, then, the two levels of medium and low pressure systems will be regulated by regulating stations. The gas supply of medium pressure level system will be regulated by setting up regulating cabinet or regulating box in the buildings. In recent time, it intends to adopt branch network for natural gas pipeline, accessing as close as possible to the load centers and large customers. From long run and when the conditions are mature, it will form a ring pipeline network to improve supply reliability. Taking into account of pipeline anti-corrosion, it is recommended that the outdoor natural gas pipeline network adopts PE pipes. Natural gas pipeline netwok should be directly buried underground. Under the sidewalk, it is laid not less than 0.9m deep. Under a traffic road, it is not less than 1.2m deep. Acrossing the intersection of road, the pipes have to be installed with steel casing. The fuel gas pipelines should be generally arranged on east and nouth sides of the urban roads. 6Planning for Heating Pipeline Network It plans to supply heat through steam pipeline network. The heating for the residents and public buildings will be supplied by heat transfer station after converting the steam heat into low temperature water heat of 95-70 . According toThe Urban Master Plan of Zoucheng City, it plans to build two transfer stations suurounding the Street Block A area, linking with steam branch pipelines. The heating pipeline network is of branch layout in recent time, and from long run, it will consider to link all pipeline networks and form a circular heating supply system, accessing to the central heating load as close as possible. The heating supply pipeline network has to be all directly buried underground, and be laid parallel with the road. In principle, it will be laid on the south side of east-west road, while be laid on the east side of south- north road. Under the sidewalk, it is laid not less than 0.7m deep. Under a traffic road, it is not less than 1.0m deep. Acrossing intersections of the road, the pipes have to be installed with steel casing. The steam pipe diameter is DN80 ~ DN200 (the directly buried insulating pipe: DN200, 10m; DN150, 280m; DN125, 197m; DN100, 534m; DN80, 124m). 7Evironmental Sanitation Facility

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ There is no any centralized garbage collection and transfer station in present areas of Street Block A., and along Second Sage Mansion Street, Second Sage Road, Guojiepeng Street and their surroundings. The garbage scattered and piling up everywhere is collected by sanitation workers with small size transporting carts. Some of the garbage are directly dumpped into Yinli River, thus causing serious pollution and poor sanitation conditions. In order to improve environmental situation of Street Block A. and the area around Mencius Temple and Mencius Mansion, it is proposed to set up sorting dust bins and a garbage collection and transfer station in the above mentioned area. It plans to set up 30 sorting dust bins on two sides of the streets with an interval of 50m, and one garbage transfer station of 20 tons in capacity; the proposed garbage transfer station is of small size, light weight, focusing on one station with more pits but one walking hydraulic pressure Garbage Transfer Station. Inside this station, it sets up a divice for collecting leachate from the sewage accumulation pit. Then, the sewage suction truck will collect leachate of the garbage and transport them to the leachate treatment plant in the garbage landfill ground for treatment. The construction site of the proposed garbage station is located at Guojiepeng Street, more than 50m away from surrounding residential areas and other sensitive spots. It needs to point out that this part of construction does not involve in cultural relics, and also not in the scope of cultural heritage preservation, therefore, it will not generate impact on preservation of cultural heritage. The preservation scope within the Historic City of Zoucheng can be seen specificly in Figure 3.4-18and the presrvation scope of Mencius Temple and Mencius Mansion is defined as follows: Meng Temple: Starting from the east wall of Mencius Temple, with eastern boundary 10m further to the east; Starting from nouth wall of Mencius Temple, with nortern boundary 9m further to the north; the western boundary is at the east wall of Mencius Mansion in the west; and 160m further to the south untill northern side stone of Temple Front Road is the southern boundary. Mencius Mansion: The eastern boundary is at west wall of Mencius Temple in the east. Starting from north wall of Mencius Mansion in the north, 9m further to the north untill the residential area is the northern boundary; Starting from west wall of Mencius Mansion in the west, 9m further to the west untill the residential area is the wertern boundary; Starting from south wall of Mencius Mansion, 11m further to the south untill the Second Sage Mansion is the southern boundary.

3.4.3.4 The Environment Improvement and River Course Rehabilitation in Historic Urban Area of Zoucheng The project will divert water from Xiwei Reservoir, with its diverting channel passing through Yinli River, so as to form one dynamic water system and restore the historical appearance of Yinli River, its normal sewage emission and flood drainage functions. It will carry out dredgeing and diverting works on Yinli River courseand restore the destroyed ancient bridge. It plans to adopt natural eco-style treatment methods along the two banks of the river to restore the historic water-front outskirts appearance of the ancient city, and to build up a green ecological corridor passing through the urban area of Zoucheng City. Xiwei Reservoir is located at mid-section of Dasha River, the tributary of Baima River and eastern urban area of Zoucheng. It is the large scale (Grade II) reservoir with the main functions of flood control and irrigation, combining with aquaculture, power generation and other comprehensive utilizations. The Reservoir has a total water storage capacity of 107 million cubic meters, with the irrigation capacity of 41 million cubic meters. It started construction on October 4, 1959, and was basically completed by the end of June, 1960. The dams were built in west and north part of reservoir. It covers a drainage area about 113.6 square kilometers and irrigation area about 77.4 thousands mu, with effective irrigated area 51 thousands mu. According to the testimonial result of Testimonial Report on Safty of Xiwei Reservoir Dams (18th,Jan. 2001)issued by Shandong Provincial Water Resources Department, the hub engineering works of Xiwei Reservoir was classified as Grade II works. Its main constructions such as dams, overflow sluice gate and tailrace tunnel were classified as Grade II works. Its secondary constructions were classified as Grade III works, and other temporary buildings were classified as Grade IV works. The engineering design of silt clean-up and reinforcement for the Xiwei Reservoir is basically reasonable, which in general conform to the requirements of currently practiced technical specifications. The quality of construction can meet the overall requirements of design

Table 3.4-19 a layout of Yinli River Harnessing Engineering Works

1River Course Harnessing Yinli River is the tributary of Dasha River, with the width 5-12m range. Because of lacking unified collection of garbage from nearby residents in recent years, a large amount of bargage was dumped into the river course randomly, thus causing the blockage of river course. In addition, due to the inadequate sewage collection pipes, a great deal of domestic wastewater was discharged into the river, resulting in great reduction of its original flood control capacity. Now, the river course has become a veritable sewage ditch. Whenever in summer, mosquitoes breed, odor filled, and the residents on two banks of the river suffered greatly from this miserable situation. It has been threatening the ecological environment of Zoucheng City. The Yinli River course harnessing project will follow the principle of “Putting drainage and flood control as priority, while taking into account the landscape requirements". It will try mianly to meet the needs of drainage and flood control, and then focus on restoring and protecting the river course, supplemented by transforming and widening it. It will design the cross section of river course, while considering the loading capacity of water resources.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ According to the different functional requirements along riversides, Yinli River will be divided into three sections, including upper, middle and lower sections. The upper reach section is the starting point of Yinli River, the section from (0 +000) to Yishan Rd. (1 +216). In this section of the river course, except for the straightening of winding course in the design of stake No.0+642 ~ 0 +730 section, it will basically make arrangement along the existing river course. In principle, the dam foot on the left bank will remain unchanged, but widen the river course to the rightside according to the flood control requirements. It adopts the design of rectangular cross section, and the main engineering works are to clean up the garbage in the existing river course. Meanwhile, it will expand the cross section in some part, which can not meet the demands of flood control and drainage. It will also demolish the existing retaining walls on two banks of the river and do reconstruction. The middle reach is the section extending from Yishan Road (1+261) till Gangshan Road (2+571). It is the key section for comprehensive harnessing in this proposed project. It will consider the demands of shopping mall development, basing upon existing river course and in accordance with requirements of flood control design, as well as through setting up many wairs, so as to form a clean water landscaping river course. For retaining walls on two sides of the river, it will adopt the pattern of green eco-bags or rokery basing upon the requirements of combining human culture with landscaping river course, etc. The River course in the section from Second Sage Road to Kangshan Road is relatively wider, and may make appropriate adjustment on waterfront according to the landscape design requirements, but the width of the river course is not suitable for less than 15m. The downstream section is that from Gangshan Road (2+583) to the entrance of Dasha River (3+762). This section of river course will be mainly for satisfying the purpose of drainage and flood control. It will widen and harness the river course according to the hydraulic calculation outcome, and will adopt the design of rectangular cross section. In order to meet the clear water landscape requirements, it plans to set up 12 units of overflow weir in Dahu VillageEvergreen Road, Yishan Road, East Gate Lane Avenue, Second Sage Road and Gangshan Road, etc respectively, so as to lift up the water table in some part, and create a landscape water surface. The location of overflow weirs is shown in Table 3.4-10.

Yinli River is some kind of river course passing through Zoucheng City with the functions of drainage and flood control. Except now there are traffic roads acrossing some sections of river, the majority sections of the river have residential buildings lined up on both sides of the river, therefore it is extremely difficult to demolish these buildings and make resettlement. In order to minimize resettlement works and reduce project land occupation, as well as according to the construction needs, it will adopt design of rectangular cross section on both upstream and downstream of the river course. Due to the reason that the middle reach of the river will pass through the main

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ urban area, and combined with the needs of development and construction along the river sides, it plans to adopt design of trapezoidal cross section. Compared with trapezoidal cross section and other compound cross section patterns, the rectangular cross section occupys the smallest area, and takes the minimum amount of demolition works, so it is the optimal cross section. The programe of this project is based on the existing river course, and remain dam footline on the left side of river course unchanged, while widening the river course further to the right side. The retaining wall of the river course on the waterfront is of the vertical form, and its back to the river is of inclining slope. The ratio of riverside and slope is 1:0.5. 2Traffic Facility 1) Landscaping Bridges The landscaping bridge and walkway pier with the landscaping as main form of performance, it also have pedestrian crossing-river function, but no consideration of letting motor vehicles crossing over the bridge. The traffic bridge is mainly designed for vehicle traffic, and its structural form should be simple, elegant and easy for construction. According to the present traffic situation and taking the needs of latter development and construction into consideration, it plans to built and upgrade 13 bridges of traffic or pedestrian functions. The width design of the bridges has to be made according to the size of the river course. The detailed indicators of various bridges are shown in Table 3.4-11.

3. Infrastructure Yinli River currently lacks of sewage interception system, causing the random discharge of mixed sewage and rainwater, and has no surfficient environmental sanitation facilities and electricity facilities. There is a small number of mixed and disoderly trees and weeds, but no meaningful environmental greening. Through the design of sewage intercepting system and separation of rainwater and sewage, it can solve the problem of river pollution from the water source. It will also enhance the lighting system and landscaping facilities, so as to make Yinli River becoming a pleasant public space with beautiful scenery. Topographically, the urban area of Zoucheng City is higher in the east and is lower in the west, while it is higher in the north and is lower in the south. That is why the river flows from northeast towards southwest through the urban area. According to urban natural geographical conditions, combined with the layout of traffic roads on the right side of the river, it will lay the main trunk pipelines along Yinli River course. And then, the sewage water on the left of the river course could be concentrated and then flow into the trunk pipelines through the inverted siphons acrossing the river. The entire pipeline system is designed in a layout of sewage intercepting form. The drainage trunk pipelines will be laid on the right side of river bank for accepting and dischargeing the sewage from right bank. It will not construct consistant trunk pipelines on the left bank of the river, where will be divided into several drainage areas, and through which, the sewage is collected at different sections, and discharged through inverted siphons acrossing the river and converging into the main trunk pipes on the right bank, so as to realize the joint drainage on both banks of the river.

It needs to specifically point out that the implementation of cultural heritage protection project has to be approved by the Cultural Heritage Conservation Department and be carried out with the supervision and guidance of the former. The qualified professional ancient architecture rehabilitation and repair team could be entrusted to carry out implementation of the concrete project accordingly in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specifications on Maintenance and Consolidation for Wooden Structure of Ancient Architectures, Technical Program on Cultivation and Maintenance for Ancient and Famous Trees and other regulations. It must fully respect for the law of conservation work, and adhere to the principles of minimizing the intervention, and remaining the original status of the cultural relics unchanged, and adopting Chinese traditional architectural technology to carry out the restoration. 3.5.1.1 Repair and Protection of Ancient Buildings The cultural relics protection work has to be carried out basing upon the principle of “remaining the original status of the cultural relics unchanged, and repairing the old as old", so as to entirely preserve and succeed its authentic historical information and value, and to protect the physical cultural relics as well as its relevant history, human culture and natural environment. The core content of the cultural relic engineering work is to “protect", but not to “construct", and its fundamental purpose is to protect well the history of immovable cultural relics, artistic and scientific value, and then

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ pass them down to the later generations. In repair works, it will frequently use the following technologies: (1) Roof Repair Construction The roof is the main part for protecting the internal structure of the buildings. So long as the roof has no rain leaking, the wooden framework would not decay, and the buildings would be no danger of collapse. The proposed project will conduct weeding on roofs, clean the ditches, and check and amend rain leaking, apart from other regular repair and maintenance. If a large part of roof has rain leaking with some broken and damaged tiles, it needs to redo water proof works on roof, and replace them with some new tile parts. The specific construction procedure is as follows: Status record code the tiles remove the tiles clean up the tile parts patch sticky waterproof underneath the roof stick and mend the tiles. While doing the maintenance, it should pay attention to reserve and use the original components, and the size and quality of the new components should be the same as that of the original tiles. The tiles will be seated by the recorded numbers. It needs to adopt straw thatch or new waterproof roll membrane of polypropylene. After mixing the lime powder and hemp cut evenly within water, then it can be used for repair and mending. 2) Wooden Framework Repairs For the buildings with crooked timber frame, serious decayed components, and the collapsing walls, it needs to be overhauled by dismantling the whole framework. The construction procedure has to be carried out gradually from top to bottom in the protectively dismantling works, and the foundation has to be laid and reconsolidated. For revertation and installation of additional large wooden framework, it must do structure calculation, and if it can satisfy the structural loading capacity, it should use the original parts as much as possible, so as to preserve the cultural heritage value of original architectural parts. Then, it can restore the tiles, lay the wall body and paint the color paintings, etc. If the building is crooked seriously, but the large wood components is still intact with no need for replacement or just replacement for individual cases, the following procedures for repairs need to be taken: Firstly, seriously crooked building has to be supported by the poles under the beam to prevent it from further distortion and tilt; After removing the tiles and cleaning up the clay, the large wooden frame is exposed. Then, after adjusting the pillar lines, the crooked framework is correctly

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ reformed and restored to the right position; Cover wooden frame fixture, lay the walls after frame’s consolidation, thatch back of the roof, cover tiles, then after completing all the works, withdraw the supporting poles. In addition, when the decayed poles have not yet produced a great impact on the tilt of ancient buildings, for slight decay, part of the column can be amputated and replaced by new material; For seriously decayed, the high position of corrupt or broken column, the beams can be supported with jacks until the original column is removed and replaced by a new one. For the minor cracks in other components, they can be directly reinforced with metal straps. If the crack is longer and the decay is not so serious, the cracks can be reinforced by epoxy resin casting, and then clipped by metal straps. For severe splitting cases, it should take steel plate reinforcement methods. For the even worse cases, it should consider replacing the components. For the base sinking seriously, with pillar distorting and the wooden frame on the verge of collapse, the wooden framework of the building has to be dismantled and restored to its original face of the construction period. For the less damaged buildings, it adopts the methods of removing tiles and exposing roof. Then, demolish partly rotten wooden framework, and rectify the distorted beam structure. As part of the construction has already been transformed beyond recognition, with the cluttered drains, the original adobe wall on the verge of collapse, indoor humidity, seriously decayed earth column and beams structure inside the wall, such kind of buildings should be rehabilitated in accordance with the heritage sites and blueprint as a reference. (3) Preservation and Repair of Oil Color Paintings Original decorative oil painting has to be cleaned through cutting and scratching completely untill seeing the wooden grain up. To clean up the dust and dirts inside the joint, it needs to use paste brush to brush all the wooden pieces, and clean up the wooden surface with a broom, then paint them with brick powder and oil paste which are heated with mixed flour, lime water, pig blood, and tung oil, added with well combed flax (hemp), until the air-dried, then grand it with diamond or piece of potery tiles, and use blade to repair and tidy, sweep away the dirts with the broom, and washing cloth to rid off the floating dust and ash. At this point, it has completed the process of “a mixture of well combed flax and five ingredients plastering” repair operation.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ In the painting technical process, it mainly uses natural mineral pigments and plant pigments (pigments should be in consistent with the ancient). The mineral pigments includes the vermilion, Zhang Dan, ocher, Zhu fat, mineral yellow and realgar, sand green, Buddha Blue, Titanium white, etc. The plant pigments mainly include garcinia and ink. The detailed process of craftsmanship is as follows: After measuring the position, length and width of painting structural parts, it has to draw a good painting music score with brown paper, then make holes with the large needle according to ink lines, then place it on the wooden structure which has been treated beforehand with the process of “a mixture of well combed flax and five ingredients plastering”. Then, process it on the order of color brushing, gilding, coloring up. Afterwards, it has to use the most dark smoke powder, ultramarine, Paris green pigments, etc. to paint at place that is the deepest in color, so as to make a more prominent grain pattern. After it has all survived, it needs to have detailed check for missing or dirts, and then amend them with original colors completely, then clean it up from top to bottom, so to complete the color painting process. 3.5.1.2 Preservation of Stone Inscriptions and Stone Tablets To carry out scientific assessment of the status of stone inscriptions, for different times, diferent stone quanlity, different location, then to work out accordingly scientific conservation program for the rehabilitation. It has to restore and consolidate inclined stone tablets. For the seriously defaced stone inscriptions and stone tablets, it uses the physical and chemical methods of washing, and grouting reinforcement in the crevices, so as to slow down the process of weathering inscriptions. 3.5.1.3 Protection of the Traditional Pavement Most of the traditional roads are of brick pavement, and the brick itself is of a worn material. Therefore, as walking on the pavement by tourists and pedestrian over the years, there were great wear and tear on the majority of the roads, and had more serious damage on some part of the roads; The project plan is to repair the serious damages with traditional ways, using the original material for connections, repair and replacement, and to repair the minor worn by protection mending and treatment. For the ordinary pavement, it can be laid with black bricks in the flat paving form. For the roads with large flocks of mobile pedestrian, it can increase the thickness of pavement structure and pavement layer in the form of vertical inclined grain and horizontal inclined grain pavement, so as to strength the weary resistance; The bricks should be numbered by rows before demolition. If there are any incomplete bricks after

It needs to carry out unified survey, design, repair and protection on the existing archway gate, and to establish a perfect record files management. For those that have been damaged, but still have their basis, it has to restore them based on historical data, traditional techniques and traditional materials. The specific programs are described as belows: 1. To repair the existing archway gate with traditional materials and traditional techniques; 2. For the archway gate that was damaged due to historical reasons, but was preserved with original photos, existing foundation of archway gate, good prerequisite for rehabilitation and also being located at an important scenic spots, it needs to be reconstructed. 3.5.1.5 Protection of Old and Valuable Trees It should make classification on trees, which are needed to be under protection, based on their different grades and different protective measures. It should also take some special conservation measures and conservation techniques to deal with the small number of endangered old trees in a scientific, standardized and systematic ways, so as to ensure a normal growth of old trees. The protection program is described as follows: The demarcation of protection scope for ancient valuable trees must meet the following requirements: a. The surrounding scope of a forest area is enclosed by 5.0 m range outside the vertical projection of a tree crown at edge of that area. b. The scope of a tree meets 5.0m outside the vertical projection of tree crown width, and meanwhile meets the distance within 20 times of the trunk diameter at breast height from the outer edge of the horizontal distance to the trunk base. c. Within the scope of protection, it is not permited to damage the topsoil and change surface elevation. In addition to the protecting and strengthening facilities, it is not permited to set up buildings and structures, and to erect (or bury) transit pipelines of any variety. And it is also not permited to plant vines winding around old and valuable trees;

d. Near the scope of protection, it is forbidden to set up the tall objects causing the old trees under its shadow, and the facilities discharging to the old trees some harmful water and gas. Old trees are divided into the First Grade and the Second Grade. The old trees with age above 300 years (inclusive) or very rare or special, with great historical value, memorable meaning and important scientific research value are all classified as that of the First Grade, and the rest of them are classified as the Second Grade. A. The First Grade Valuable Ancient Trees: a. A copy of files of the First Grade Trees should be submitted to the Urban Construction Departments at National, Provincial, Municipal and Autonomous Region levels for records. b. Protection fence should be set up, and the distance between fences and tree trunks is not less than 2m. If the special site conditions can not be up to 2 meters, the minimum reqirement is for that people can not touch the trunk. Clover and other legumes should be planted on the topsoil within the fence so as to keep the soil moist and air. Depending on the different tree species for the water requirements, the soil should be watered or drained. c. If old trees growing in the same place for a long time, soil fertility will decline. Old trees should be fertilized in the determination of element content in soil circumstances. It should prune old trees in the dead branches and tip, regularly check the situation of the pests and diseases of old trees, use the integrated control measures, promote and use safe, efficient, low toxicity pesticides and new prevention technology, and strictly prohibit the use of highly toxic pesticides. B. The Second Grade Valuable Ancient Trees: a. The files of Second Grade valuable ancient trees should be kept and managed by the local urban construction, landscape and scenic spots management institutions, and a copy of files should be submitted to the Urban Construction Departments at Provincial, Municipal and Autonomous Region levels for record b. If old trees growing in the same place for a long time, soil fertility will decline, old trees should be fertilized in the determination of element content in soil circumstances. It should prune old trees in the dead branches and tip, regularly check the situation of the pests and diseases of old trees, use the integrated control measures, promote and use safe, efficient, low toxicity pesticides and new prevention technology, and strictly prohibit the use of highly toxic pesticides.

The following criteria apply to the selection and use of pesticides in Bank-financed projects: (a) They must have negligible adverse human health effects. (b) They must be shown to be effective against the target species. (c) They must have minimal effect on nontarget species and the natural environment. The methods, timing, and frequency of pesticide application are aimed to minimize damage to natural enemies. Pesticides used in public health programs must be demonstrated to be safe for inhabitants and domestic animals in the treated areas, as well as for personnel applying them. (d) Their use must take into account the need to prevent the development of resistance in pests. 3.5.1.6 Protection of Old Trees and Slope Reinforcement at Mt. Ni Based on a statistical survey of existing old trees at Mt. Ni, it can define the trees that need to be protected. On gentle slope where the roots of old trees are exposed to air, it needs to lay a short terrace with the raw stone at the lower side around the bare roots of trees to protect them from water and soil erosion. On other erosion sites, return the soil back, then covered with a three-dimensional civil work mesh, and sow grass seed on topsoil. For serious water and soil erosion on the steep slope, it should consolidate the retaining walls and wood posts, return the soil back and then covered with a three-dimensional civil work mesh, sow the grass seed on topsoil, and then to fully cover up the retaining walls and wood posts with the earth. 3.5.1.7 Comprehensive Upgrading of Xishantou Village in the East of Mencius Cemetery, and Construction of Parking Lot and Tourist Center In addition, this part of the construction project will involve the comprehensive upgrading of Xishantou Village in the east of Mencius Cemetery and the new construction of a parking lot and a tourist center, covering a relatively large construction area and some project contents. The proposed project may affect environment during the construction, which could be shown in the following stages: (1) Site clean-up phase: clearing up the ground fixtures, cleaning up trees and garbage, seting up temporary residential buildings of construction workers; (2) Earthworks phase: excavation of earth, increase of dregs and solid waste, etc;

(3) Basic engineering works phase: includes piling, laying foundation and other masonry; (4) Main project phase: including reinforced concrete works, masonry construction and decoration and furnishing; (5) Mop-up stage: including backfilling earthwork, the construction of roads, cleaning up the scene.

3.5.2.3 River Course Management and Control It will broaden and dredge the river course, clean-up solid waste within the riverbed. Then, it could form clear water landscaping river course by setting the multiple overflow weirs, while demolishing the retaining walls on two sides of river course for reconstruction. Combining human culture with requirements of landscaping river course, it will adopt the form of constructing with green eco-bags, decorative rockery. The construction contents includes the dredging earthwork, construction of overflow weirs, water lifting pumps, green eco-bags retaining walls, imitated stakes retaining embarkment, and eco-bricks protective banks and pedestrian bridges. It will adopt the form of combining excavating machines with the manual labour to do dredging operation. The main impact on external environment during the construction is the sludge generated from dredging. Therefore, it needs to have transported sludge away, while doing excavation.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ According to design requirements, it firstly should clear up the mud, woods, topsoils, weeds and debris, etc. from the river course. And then, to measure the cross secetion of the river course and recalculate the earthworks, determine the earthwork transportation program. Due to the exposing of ground surface and excavation during the construction, it could cause water and soils erosion, resulting in the strengthening of proliferation role of organic elements in the soils, thus decreasing its oganic matters content and obstructing the process of richness concentration of the soil, eventually changing partly the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil. Due to cleaning up of the trees within the river course during construction, it may result in the reduction of biomass in some areas. Since the bio-species occupied in the project area are all commonly seen and widely spread species within the region, it will not lead to reduction of the bio-species in the region. As a result, the major impact in the construction period is mainly the negative, disposable, obvious and the partial and local one. 3.6 Main Variety of Raw Materials, Quantity and Sources 3.6.1 Main Variety of Raw Materials, Quantity, Transpot Methods and Sources Main raw materials required for the proposed project are: cement, steel, wood, brick (antique brick and tile), yellow sand, stone, glass, lime powder paste, ancient green paint, and other auxiliary materials such as heating facilities, ductile cast iron pipe, PE pipe, HDPE or PVC pipelines.

This Power Plant is located at Beiyao Village, Liying Township, Rencheng District of Jining City, which is about 10km away from the project area. The construction scale is of 3×500t/d circulation fluid bed trash incineration boilers matched with 2×15MW condensation type turbo generators. The annual capacity of trash incineration could be 365,100 tons. At present, the project is being at the stage for environmental impact assessment. It is estimated that the Plant will be put into operation in early 2011. Qufu City is located within the scope of domestic garbage collection for the Power Plant, and therefore, the domestic garbage generated and dredged sediments in Qufu area will all be transported to this Power Plant for disposal. 3.11.2 The Public Infrastructure Conditions in Zoucheng Project 3.11.2.1 Water Supply Works The existing water supply sources in the project area is Zoucheng Urban Water Plant, which adopted three deep underground wells, with water production and supply capacity of 134,000 m3/d. The current total urban water demand is 100,000m3/d, and 60% of the urban area has been covered by the pipeline network of this Water Plant. The nearest distance of pipeline network is less than 600m away from the project area. The water supply works can meet the demand of project area. The water supply network in the project area will be arranged in the form of grid-network, and of the dendritic partially. It can supply fresh water to all the sites, where are suited to domestic life water consumption in the project area. 3.11.2.2 Drainage Works After the improvement of drainage system in the project area, it will adopt separation drainage system of rainwater and sewage. The rainwater will flow by gravity into the nearby storm water trunk pipeline or into nearby drainage system. The sewage water will be collected by the pipeline and sent to the Urban Sewage Treatment Plant for centralized treatment. The sewage pipeline network in the project area is arranged in dendritic form and flow mainly by gravity. It is generally arranged in the east and south side of the roads, where the sewage could be intercepted and sent to the Sewage Treatment Plant.

Zoucheng City unique Sewage Treatment Plant is located at No. 518, southern end of the Western Outer Circular Road of Zoucheng City, covering an area of 125mu, with sewage treatment capacity of 80,000m3/d and total investment of 155.54 million yuan. The project construction was all completed and put into operation on May 2003. Then, it has been checked and accepted by Provincial Environmental Protection Department. This Sewage Treatment Plant adopted Ao Boer oxidation ditch technology. The urban area has been basiclly covered by the construction of the pipeline network, which is less than 1000m in the nearest distance from the project area. It is helpful and convenient for the construction and perfection of sewage pipeline network in the project area. At present, the actual daily sewage treatment capacity of the Plant is 62,500m3/d, and a remaining capacity 17,500m3/d. The disposed water quality can meet the requirements of B standards of Grade I ofPollutants Emission Standards of Urban and Township Sewage Treatment Plant(GB18918-2002). The sludge quantity generated from sewage treatment is about 4500t/a, which has all been sent to the Garbage Landfill Site for centralized disposal. After improvement of sewage pipeline network in the proposed project area, the additional 1,500 m3/d sewage will effluent into the Sewage Treatment Plant, which will be still less than the remaining disposable capacity of the STP. Therefore, the existing design capacity of STP can meet the requirements of the project area sewage treatment. 3.11.2.3 Electrical Engineering Works The power supply network around project area is rationally structured. The project area can be supplied with 110KV voltage power by Zounan Substation, which is located in the south of Zoucheng City, 4km away from its urban center.

To minimize the damage, the project would make a detail analysis about the feasibility and managing plan of cultural relic differentiation and protection.(see chapter 5) To other aspects, the whole project construction allocated different area, each construction was small job and covered small area, especially garbage collection and sewage disposal engineering itself was environmental protection engineering. Information center is to promote environmental protection and ecological tourism and to propose in harmony with nature theme function. After the completion of the project, it would bring certain environmental benefits and adverse effect less.Therefore, Environmental impact assessment would give a proper analysis during the operation period, in order to ascertain the coordination problem between construction or operation process of project and regional environmental clearly. 4.1 Environmental Impact Assessment during Construction Period This project has a five-year construction period and involves multiple construction sites which are scattered and cover a wide area. It mainly deals with Confucius & Mencius cultural heritage preservation and infrastructure upgrading of the historic urban areas.As the environmental impact of these two construction periods differ significantly, this assessment will address them respectively. The environmental impact of the construction period involving cultural heritage preservation will be discussed in the Chapter of "Assessment of Cultural Relic Impact".While this assessment mainly deals with the environmental impact of the construction period of the historic urban areas and infrastructure upgrading. The main construction work contents for upgrading of historic urban areas and infrastructure involve renewal of street blocks, upgrading of urban infrastructure and restoration and rehabilitation of river course etc, including the constructions on land area and water area. The engineering construction will occupy the land and vegetation of the construction sites inevitably, causing the damage of ecological envieronment partially. In addition, duing to the great amount of excavation works in the

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ construction process, construction noise produced by mechanical operation, floating dust from ground, abandoned earth and dregs, it will generate an impact on the surrounding environment. 4.1.1 Assessment of exhaust gas emission and its control measures 4.1.1.1 Exhaust Gas (1) Dust Dust pollution caused by the project construction activities generally comes from the following sources: Building demolition; Earthwork excavation, piling, removal, backfill and site formation processes; Loading and unloading, transport and stack of building materials such as cement, mortar and sand (wind-generated); Operations of agitator trucks and transport vehicles; Piling and clearing of construction waste. Suspended particulates and ground dust arising from housing demolition and transport vehicles within the enclosure are fugitive dust, with the demolition sites as its main sources. The demolition involves bungalows and apartment buildings (usually no more than two stories), which will be mostly dismantled by hand, leaving a relatively small sphere of impact. The dust emission period coincides with the operation time of the demolition. The dust would gradually disappear as the operation is completed. According to field monitoring results of similar projects, the near- surface dust concentration on the demolition site is generally1.5~20 mg / m3, with a sphere of influence approximately 60m, constrained by such factors as wind direction, wind speed and humidity. However, in the construction process because of earthwork excavation, piling and transport, dust can be generated at high wind speed, resulting in an increase of suspended particulates to give a certain negative impact on the surrounding environment. Foundation excavation, earthwork excavation and backfilling in the construction of roads, pipelines and landscape will generate dust, and so will earthwork transportation and stacking. The scale of dust emissions varies seasonally and under different circumstances of soil types and construction management. In general, the sphere of influence of such dust emissions could be within 60m on both sides of the road for construction.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ Construction materials mainly used in the project are brick, gravel, sand, cement and lime. Brick and gravel are not prone to dust generation; Instead of lime powder, this project will mostly use paste-like lime putty, which is high in moisture content and usually does not generate dust pollution; A grain of sand is generally200~2000 m in diameter, so general weather conditions (non-windy weather) are not likely to generate sand dust; Construction waste produced during construction mainly include broken bricks, concrete and other materials, which are high in moisture content and large in size. As long as they are collected and cleared timely, they are not prone to dust emission; The earth to be excavated is generally high in moisture content, so as long as the green area building program is implemented as scheduled, it would not generate dust,unless its surface gets dry due to long-term stacking. (2) Machinery and equipment exhaust The time of the demolition phase of the project is short and most demolition activities will be conducted manually and use a small amount of mechanical equipment, thus mechanical exhaust emissions will be small; Although the civil engineering phase of the project depends heavily on construction machinery, most of the machines are electricity-powered, emitting no exhaust fumes. While mechanical exhaust emissions do exist on pile drivers and transport vehicles driven by gasoline or diesel, the relatively short-term use of these instruments will limit the emissions and the high wind speed on the open terrain will also alleviate air pollution, causing less impact on the regional atmospheric environment. (3) Waste gas produced by decorative materials During the restsroration of ancient buildings and houses, the necessary decration should be implemented. The installation of water and electricity, wall surface processing, ceiling suspension and decoration, coating laquer and the installation of doors and windows are invloved in the process of decoration. In oder to fulfill the decoration process, materials like plywood, coating, glue water are needed. Since ornamental materials of this kind contain the organic solvents like TVOC (Total Votatile Organic Compound) and formaldehyde which would volatilize partially to the air. Because substances like these are poisonous, the air quality, especially the indoor air quality, would be influenced. As a result, this would do harm to people’s health. Given part of the waste air is emitted in an unorganized way, the exact volume can not be defined. 4.1.1.2 Emission Control Measures

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ (1) During building demolition, adequate humidification should be applied and proper facilities should be set up to alleviate dust emissions; Vehicles should be equipped with cleaning facilities and transport vehicles will be covered with tarpaulin to reduce dust emissions generated in the process of transport. (2) Rationalize the construction plan to avoid the rainy season during the excavation, dredging, and site formation stages; To effectively control dust pollution during construction, an enclosing wall at least 3m in height should be set up around the construction site; (3) The sites of civil engineering and external renovation projects must be fully enclosed with 2000 meshes/ 100cm2 fine mesh safety nets tested and certified by relevant national administrations. (4) Construction operations should avoid windy weather and bulk construction materials such as cement, gravel and sand must be properly covered. Roads under construction should be water-sprinkled to lessen the generation of dust. It is forbidden to toss building materials and garbage when loading and unloading them; (5) Concrete used during construction should be ready-mixed concrete products or it must be mixed in an enclosed area equipped with dust prevention and removal devices. It is forbidden to mix concrete, prepare lime soil or slake lime in the open air. The use of finished and semi-finished stone, wood and other materials should be maximized. Fabricated construction should be implemented to reduce dust pollution caused by cutting stone and wood products.

(6) Building material transport vehicles and trash trucks must be covered and reinforced in accordance to with relevant provisions; (7) High quality fuels should be selected for the construction machinery and transport vehicles. Vehicles whose exhaust emission fail to reach the standard should be denied access to the construction sites. (8) During the process of cultural heritage protection, demonstration and construction, traditional construction materials such as woods, black bricks, stones, minerals and vegetable pigment would not produce waste air. While during the process of improving historical city proper and infrastructure, waste gas would be produced. The project focuses mainly on the architectural facade retrofit of the

Proper arrangement of operation and construction

In order to lessen the decorative materials’ influence on indooor air quality, the work of operation and construction ought to be arranged in a proper way. Spray coating can not be too centralized; Do anything possible to appropriately arrange different kinds of pollution sources; Take wind direction into consideration to reduce dilution period and its influence of expansion intensity on the aera downwind. increasing indoor ventilation As for formaldehyde and radioactive substances, frequent ventilation is needed. It is also advisable to make use of active carbon or green plants to enhance the indoor air equality. Increasing the ventilation between outside and inside and strengthening emission can bring indoor harmful gas intensity under control, as well as eliminate the pollution of decorative gas.

According to the environmental impact target demarcation result, The project mainly affects the ancient relics,villages and residents nearby the street blocks,pipeline engineering works, river course. Due to the main construction work

If the above-mentioned control measures were rigorously employed, dust and exhaust emissions would be greatly reduced, resulting in a significant alleviation of their impact on the surrounding environment. 4.1.2 Assessment of Wastewater Discharge and Its Control Measures Most of the wastewater discharged in the construction period includes domestic and construction sewage, in which main pollution factors are COD, NH3-N, and SS.Besides,wastewater from desilting project of Yinli rivercourse and Gupan Pond,would be disposed in urban sewage treatment plant. At the construction peak in Qufu, around 800 construction workers will be employed. If the average daily water consumption is 35L/person (under the Water Supply and Drainage Design Manual) and the daily discharge of domestic sewage takes 80% of the total water consumption each day, the maximum wastewater discharge will reach to 22.4t/d. At the construction peak in Zoucheng, around 1000 construction workers will be employed. If the average daily water consumption is 35L/person(under the Water Supply and Drainage Design Manual) and the daily discharge of domestic sewage takes 80% of the total water consumption each day, the maximum wastewater discharge will reach to 28t/d. As the construction workers’ domestic sewage discharge is relatively scattered, sewage can be disposed by the existing sewage treatment facilities nearby or the sewage treatment plant through the existing municipal wastewater pipe network; If there are no sewage treatment facilities available in the nearest vicinity, mobile and impermeable "dry toilets" can be built to facilitate fecal treatment. Feces processed in the septic tanks would be transported periodically by the farmers in the nearby villages for agricultural use. In addition, domestic garbage and construction waste should be stored in fixed places and cleared timely to minimize the possibilities of eluviation and groundwater pollution. Construction sewage includes sand and gravel wash water, concrete curing water, and equipment and vehicle wash water etc. It is relatively difficult to quantify

It contains a large amount of sediment and suspended matter (the highest concentration reach to 600mg/L) and a small amount of oil stain, but almost no organic pollutants. Construction machinery and vehicle wash water can be collected by wastewater collection ponds before being recycled (processed after sedimentation and grease disposal) as water for construction use. No wastewater is to be discharged in this process. Sand and gravel wash water and concrete curing wastewater can also be recycled after sedimentation in the ponds. No wastewater is to be discharged in this process. According to the calculation results of the feasibility reportthe existing siltation of wastewater quantity in Gupan Pond is about 4000 m3, the existing siltation of wastewater quantity in Yinli River is about 9000 m3, will be fully discharged into urban sewage treatment plant. The disposing capacity of the sewage treatment plant in Qufu is 40000m3/d, presently disposing 34000m3/d of sewage, remaining disposing scale 6000m3/d. The disposing capacity of the sewage treatment plant in Zoucheng is 80000m3/d, presently disposing 62500m3/d of sewage, remaining disposing scale 17500m3/d. Qufu and Zoucheng sewage treatment plant can satisfy the requirements of wastewater treatment project, the existing siltation of wastewater will be disposed fully. Should the above-mentioned measures be taken, the impact of the projects in the construction period would have a relatively small impact on the water environment. 4.1.3 Assessment and Control to the Impact of Construction Noise on the Surrounding Environment. 4.1.3.1 Main Noise Sources The main noise types during the construction period will be mechanical noise generated by various construction projects and traffic noise generated by vehicles transporting construction materials. The construction process requires a large number of construction machines and transport vehicles, which will generate a certain degree of noise and affect the normal life of the local residents. The sound level values of major high-noise construction machines in the construction are shown in Table 4.1-1.

If a variety of machines are to be operated simultaneously, noise levels can be even higher and the range of radiation wider when noise radiations from different sources superimpose with each other. 4.1.3.2 Noise Predictive Model in the Construction Period As this general construction project requires no special construction machinery, and the noise levels of the construction machinery used in this project are mainly in the middle and low frequency ranges, only their diffusion attenuation is to be measured in the process of predicting the impact of the noise. In this respect, the following prediction model can be used : = − γ γ γ > γ L2 L1 20lg 2 / 1 2 1 ...... (Formula 1) where: L1, L2are the equivalent A-weighted sound pressure levels dB(A) from the γ γ sound sources 1 2 ; γ γ 1 2 are the distances between the reception points and the sound sources,m. ∆ = − = γ γ L L2 L1 20lg 2 / 1 ......

It is learned from the above table that: At the construction phase, the scope of daytime noise impact will be within 250 meters, while the night-time impact will be close to 1,000 meters. Residents in the vicinity will not be affected by the noise in the daytime. However, some noise can be generated at night, resulting in a number of noise sensitive points in the surrounding residential areas. The noise could exceed the limits stipulated in the standards (Noise Limits for Construction Site [GB12523- 90]and Environmental Quality Standard for Noise [GB3096-2008, Category I], standards mentioned thereinafter are the same), cause noise pollution to the surrounding environment, and is prone to causing noise pollution disputes. As a result, night-time construction should be prohibited. The impact of night-time noise can reach as far as 1, 000 meters or more and different levels of noise pollution can be caused around the noise sensitive points on the construction sites. The noise levels at

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ and around the construction sites and the noise sensitive points will in turn exceed the limits stipulated in the above-mentioned standards. In addition, noise generated by transport vehicles will increase the level of traffic noise along the roads. In summary, noise generated by construction equipment in the construction period of this project will affect the acoustic environment sensitive points surrounding the construction sites, causing the noise levels exceeding the standards and noise pollution on the surrounding areas. Such noise pollution is prone to pollution disputes; therefore, it is essential to adopt noise elimination, reduction and other measures on the construction equipment to limit the on-site noise to a standard level, to reduce the impact of the construction noise on the noise sensitive points of the surrounding environment and to avoid pollution disputes. Night-time construction should be strictly limited. Meanwhile, transport vehicles should be driven at low speeds to reduce the noise levels. 4.1.3.5 Noise Control Measures (1) Reducing the equipment noise: Low noise equipment should be adopted; Silencers and engine vibration isolation components should be used to reduce noise; A speed-limit should be applied to the excavators and loading and unloading vehicles running in and out of the construction sites; Maintenance and repair of the machinery, equipment and transport vehicles should be applied timely so that they can be run in a good working condition. (2) Rationalizing the construction time: Construction equipment with high noise levels should not be operated simultaneously and in a continuous way. Night-time (after 22:00) construction should be prohibited. In the daytime, the use of noisy construction equipment should avoid the mid-day break and residents and relevant working units in the neighborhood should be notified. (3) Arranging the construction sites systematically: Equipment with high noise levels should be set away from the noise sensitive areas. (4) Reduce the man-made noise: Collision noise should be reduced in the process of operating mechanical devices or loading and unloading formworks and scaffolds. (5) Setting up temporary sound barriers: Equipment located in relatively fixed places should be operated indoors in the operating room as much as possible. If not, single-sided sound barriers should be established; An enclosing wall as high as 2.5m should be built around the construction site.

The use of horn is limited on such occasions as well. According to the environmental impact target demarcation result of this project, The project would mainly affect the ancient relics,villages and residents on 2-banks of the river, near the Street Block and pipeline engineering.The above deadening measures can effectively reduce noises to the surroundings in construction. 4.1.4 Impact of solid waste and its control measures Solid waste generated in the construction period includes: Sullage excavated from the rivers in the river training process, spoil generated from building demolition and earthworks, and domestic garbage produced from construction workers stationed in the construction sites. Around 15,000 m3 sullage will be produced in the river desilting project of the ancient city moat and Gupanchi (Ancient Panchi Pool) in Qufu. Together with the approximately 44,000 m3 spoil generated in community renovation and construction earthworks of road and landscape construction , the total amount of spoil can reach 59,000m3; According to the research design, the construction period of this project will be about four years, and construction workers can be as many as 800 people. If the daily domestic garbage generation is 0.5kg /person d, around 480t garbage will be generated in the construction period. Around 40,000 m3 sullage will be produced in the river training project of Yinli River in Zoucheng. Together with the approximately 65,500 m3 spoil generated in community renovation and earthworks of road and landscape construction, the total amount of spoil can reach 112,500 m3;The construction period of this project will be about four years, and construction workers can be as many as 1000 people. If the daily domestic garbage generation is 0.5kg /person d, around 600t garbage will be generated in the construction period. The proposed solid waste control measures of this project are as follows: Spoil such as construction wastes generated in this project should be covered with grass mats when stockpiled temporarily to avoid wind-generated dust and water and soil erosion. It should be disposed in a timely manner by the local municipal waste process office or transported timely to the designated areas for storage. The contaminants in the river sludge are mainly from domestic sewage and a small amount of domestic garbage accumulated in the waterway. According to the

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ results of the survey conducted in this assessment, the contaminant levels in the substrate sludge are up to the control standards stipulated in the Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludge from Agricultural Use (GB4284-84) and can be used as gardening fertilizers. However, due to the shortage of sludge storage and disposal facilities in Zoucheng and Qufu, this assessment recommends the sludge be sent to the landfill sites; Domestic garbage should be timely transported and disposed by the municipal public sanitation departments. 4.2 Environmental Impacts during the Operation Period of the Project 4.2.1 Analysis on Pollution Source of Operartion Period 4.2.1.1 Waste Gas There is no pollution source of industry in the proposed project. Therefore, there is no emission of industrial waste gas. After completing the construction of fuel gas supply system and heating supply pipeline network, there will be no emission of waste coal gas. During the operation, the atmospheric pollution source in the project area is mainly from domestic fuel waste gas, lampblack of the kichens and commercial large-size cooking stoves, and exhaust gas of vehicles. 1The Fuel Waste Gas of Residents After completion of the project, the domestic fuel of the residents in the project area is mainly the natural gas, and there is no emission of coal waste gas in the project. Meanwhile, considering that the Number of cooking stoves in the project area will be basicly maintained stable, the projection outcome of fuel waste gas in the project area is as follows: Table 4.2-1 an Outline on Emmission of Fuel Waste Gas Pollutants Quantity of Quantity of Emission Quantityt/a Qufu 3 fuelt/a LampblackNm /a PM10 SO2 NOx Domestic 469.43 7980310 0.0022 11.68 2.10 fuel Quantity of Quantity of Emission Quantityt/a Zoucheng 3 fuelt/a LampblackNm /a PM10 SO2 NOx Domestic 431.65 7338050 0.0020 10.74 1.93 fuel Note: They are all non-organized emission. 2Lampblack The lampblack in the project area is mainly concentrated in the kichens.

3. Tail Gas of Vehicles After completion of the project, the quantity of mobile vehicles in the project area would increase as the growth of mobile population. If the number of mobile vehicles in Qufu is caculated based on 6000 units/daily (of them, it has 1000 middle size vehicles and 5000 small size one) and that in Zoucheng is caculated basing on 3750 units/daily (of them, it has 625 middle size vehicles and 3125 small size one), and the driving distance of each vehicle is caculated basing on 5km in the project area, then the estimated outcome of tail gas emission of vehicles driving in and out of the project area is as follows: The annual emission quantity of various pollutants from tail gas of vehicles in Qufu area is CO0.3t/a, and non methane hydrocarbons is 1.0t/aNOx0.26t/a. The annual emission quantity of various pollutants from tail gas of vehicles in Zoucheng area is CO0.19t/a, and non methane hydrocarbons is 0.63t/aNOx0.16t/a. The mesures for the prevention and control of vehicles waste gas emission are adopted mainly as follows: (1) To set up direction board guilding the outside vehicles to park and reducing the idle operation.

Noise Sources After putting the project into operation, the growth number of mobile vehicles and recreational facilities in the commercial areas will cause the reduction of regional acoustic environment quanlity, and thus the pollution of noises will become an outstanding environmental issue. The traffic noise has close relations with road conditions, slope degree, traffic volume, and frequency of whistles. If the vehicles whistles is forbidden and with good road conditions, the noise of small vehicle on the roadside is normally about 6065dB(A)Under whistles and with good road conditions, the noise of small vehicle on the roadside may normally reach about 7075dB(A). The noises could be produced from many places such as public recreational sites (including the stars hotels equipped with recreational facilities, music halls, games room and musical tea house, etc.). Noise could not only generate impact on the group of people inside recreational sites, but also have interruption to the nearby residents to a certain extent. So it is an important part of acoustic pollution of the urban environment. 2. Measures for Prevention and Control of Noises (1) Traffic Noise To set up Guiding Signage at Parking Lot, and separat the inlet and outlet of garage, with clear inlet and outlet indicators. To avoid unnecessary idle driving, brake, start and even whistles. To take measures restricting the speed and whistles of vehicles driving in the project area. (2) Prevention and Control of Noises in Social Life Requirement of Construction Design The requirenment of design and furnishing for all recreational sites, musical hall, games room and musical tea house equipped in the project area is as follows: use special acoustic insulation materials to set the pendants above ceilling, furnishment, elastic ceilling and 9mm plaster board + rock cotton + acoustic materials + 12mm plaster board; the audial equipment in the chamber of the theater should be placed properly, and avoid it from

To establish public supervision system Ministry of Evirnment Protection and National Quanlity Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine General Bureau have jointly issued Social Life Environmental Noise Emission Standardand it stipulated that “social life noise” indicates the noise produced by equipments and facilities, which are used for commercial cultural recreation sites and shopping mall areas. This standard pointed out the noise limits to noise emission source boundary.Combining The Standard of Environmental Noises in Urban Area of the People’s Republic of China withSocial Life Environmental Noise Emission Standard, it stipulated that in the area where needs keeping quiet in its surroundings, the boundary limits of social life noises at day time is 55dB(A) from 06: 00am to 22: 00pm, while it is 45dB (A) at night from 22:00pm to 06:00am of the following day. If it is beyond the limits, people may report to the government authority, and government authority will deal with the case or make punishment according to the relevant rules and regulations. Management Regulations In accordance with the principles of “making the area as the main, taking actions among departments jointly” and “the person who approves will be responsible”, it adopts the measures of combineing spots with the zones and putting stress on the key points, so as to improve the environmental quanlity of the residents. The cultural administrative sector will take the lead in coordinating and organizing the specialized management and control works. It will put stress on supervising the recreational sites to rid off existing noise pollution, and no operation from 02:00am to 08:00am every day; it will also inspect and punish the behavior of operating cultural recreational business without certificate. The Environmental Department is responsible to supervise and mornitor the noises of kara-ok dance and singing recreational sites according to the law. In accordance with Article No. 43 “the boundary noise of newly built commercial cultural recreational sites must conform to the requirements of standard on environmental noise emission stipulated by the state”, it should strictly control, review and issue the relevant documents to the recreational sites, which are qualified. In accordance with the Article No. 59 The Law on Environmental Noise Pollution Prevention and Control, it stipulated that if the cultural recreational site in operation

Otherwise, it could be punished with fine. The Public Security Department will assist relevant authority to carry out law enforcement action, and deal with the case, which obstruct or resist law enforcement with violence according to the law. The Industry and Commerce Department (ICD) will assist the Cultural Department to check and punish the behavior of cultural recreational operation without certificate, which generated noise and interrupt the residents. The site holding complete operation certificate but interrupted residents with noise and can not meet the requirements of the Environment Protection Department (EPD) within the ristricted time of correction given by the EPD, its operation certificate should be withdrawn by the ICD according to the law and basing upon the documents for withdrawing administrative permission approved by the Cultural, the EPD and other administrative departments. Or the ICD should order the litigant to conduct registration change or cancelling. 4.2. 2 Environmental Impacts during the Operation Period 4.2.2.1 Ambient Air Impact Analysis The proposed project has no industrial pollution sources. As a result, there will be no industrial waste gas emissions. Upon the completion of the upgrading process of the gas supply system and the heat supply pipeline network in the project area, there will be no gas discharge of combustion coal therein. Major pollution sources in the project area during the operation period are exhaust gas generated from domestic gas discharge, lampblack from domestic and commercial kitchens and exhaust gas from vehicle emissions. In addition, after environmental management of Ming dynasty city moat, ancient PanChi in Qufu and Yinli River in Zoucheng, the quality of air environment surrounding waterbody will also increase accordingly. A more detailed analysis is as follows: (1) Restaurant exhaust gas and lampblack According to the project analysis, upon the completion of the gas pipeline installation in the project area, 10% of the residents who used to burn coal will burn natural gas instead. The air pollutant emissions before and after the fuel change are shown in Table 4.2-4. Table 4.2-4 Air pollutant emissions before and after the domestic fuel change in the project area

When all the residents in the project area of Qufu begin to use natural gas, the reduced soot dust emission will reach 36. 6678t/a, SO2 emission 225.54t/a, and NOx emission 31.18t/a; the reduced soot dust emission in the project area of Zoucheng will reach 33.718t/a, SO2 emission 23.48t/a, and NOx emission 28.17t/a. These reductions are conducive to the overall improvement of the air quality in the project area.

Lampblack discharges mainly from kitchens,according to the project analysis, concentration of discharged lampblack after purification would meet the highest requirements of Emission Standard of Cooking Fume " (DB37/597-2006).Lampblack discharges from the restaurant kitchens will have a 85%~90% reduction after purification, and the concentration of emission will be about 1.5mg/m3 and pose a minor impact on the ambient air quality. Profit-making restaurants in the project area should not only fix qualified lampblack purifier,but also make the exhaust funnel

1.5m higher than the fixed building top,according to the requirements of Emission

Standard of Cooking Fume " (DB37/597-2006).

(2) Automobile exhaust

According to the project analysis, after completion of the project, as the traffic volume in the area gets increasing, and automobile exhaust emissions will increase, as shown in Table 4.2-5.

Although the automobile exhaust emissions in the project area will increase, but total release is relatively small in volume and scattered in place, and they are fugitive emissions which will be discharged intermittently. Moreover, project area locates at plain and scatters at open area, diffusion conditions of air pollutants are good enough that construction would not have impact on the environment of project area. There is a car park which allocated southwest Xishantou village, surrounding Mencius Cemetary. During the peak time of tourism season, vehicle exhaust gas would affect the village. By considering the number of tourists, although the automobile exhaust emissions will increase, but total release is relatively small in volume and scatters in place. Moreover they are fugitive emissions which will be discharged intermittently,the park would have little effect on the village due to its location is not at upwind of the leading wind (SSE) at west hill village. In addition, landscape engineering projects will be carried out around the project area. Massive green areas will not only improve the landscape and conserve water, but also purify the air through photosynthesis and dust absorption functions,the quality of local air environment would be improved. (3) Water Treatment There was no connection between Ming dynasty city moat and ancient PanChi to external water. PanChi area have been radically reduced to one-tenth of original size due to the longstanding issue of siltation inner city construction, especially serious occupation with rubbish dump spread. It became no source of a pool. In recent years, due to lack of centralized disposal of living garbage on both sides of Yingli River and dumpage of garbage at will, the whole river was blocked. Moreover, sewage collection tube is not perfect and domestic sewage is drained at will, the river’s original drainage capability is decreasing. As a result, it had become a truly sewage, flood safety and surrounding environment were also destoryed. Three waterbody mentioned above would be managed during the project construction. Firstly, the river course and pond woud be cleaned up, then the surrounding environment would be improved by leading Sishui River into Ming

Meanwhile, the domestic garbage and sewage would be prohibitted to discharge into the water by setting up reasonable garbage collection transportation system, public toilets and sewerage pipe system. Water treatment project of Qufu Ming dynasty city moat, ancient PanChi and Zoucheng Yinlin River will eliminate influence of stench of contaminated water out the surrounding affected residents and improve the local environmental air quality. The construction of the proposed project is conducive to the auxiliary infrastructure construction projects in the local areas and to the promotion of liquefied petroleum gas (a substitute of the honeycomb briquettes used at present) among the local residents. Air pollutants will be further reduced and the atmospheric environment will be further improved; Most of the project sites are scattered in a vast plain area, which makes air pollutants such as fume and automobile exhaust easy to disperse and poses minor impact on the project area. Pollutant emissions resulted from coal-burning will be reduced due to the adoption of the central heating system, which will improve the local air quality. 4.2.2.2 Surface water environmental impact assessment Upon the completion of the project, the domestic sewage will be collected for centralized treatment to maximize the possibilities of recycling, instead of being directly discharged. The Sihe River will be dammed up and diverted into the moat of the ancient city of the Ming dynasty, before being diverted into Gupanchi (Ancient Panchi Pool). It is expected that the water quality of the moat and Gupanchi will improve. The water in the Xiwei Reservoir will be diverted into Zoucheng’s Yinli River to improve the water quality. (1)Centralized processing of domestic sewage When the water supply and sewerage works as well as the sewage treatment facilities of this project are in operation, 50% of the directly discharged wastewater will be effectively collected and sent to the wastewater treatment plants through the pipe network for further treatment until it meets the discharge standards. These facilities can improve the present situations of sewage collection, treatment and discharge in the project area and will play a positive role in improving the regional environment and achieving a sustainable development.

Instead of discharging wastewater (with a COD concentration of 350mg/L and ammonia nitrogen concentration35mg/L) directly in the project area, it will be collected and sent to wastewater treatment plants before being discharged (with a COD concentration of 60mg/L and ammonia nitrogen concentration of 5mg/L). The volume of the reduced pollutants to be discharged is shown in Table 4.2-6.

Zoucheng Type I-A Type I-A Dasha River Notes: Type I-A standard stipulated in Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB18918-2002) The increasing discharged wastewater from two treatment plants will cause some impact on the water quality of the river, but taking into account the relatively small proportion of the wastewater discharges in the project area in the total displacement of the wastewater treatment plants in Qufu and Zoucheng,the volume of wastewater from the project don’t exceed the designed standards of two wastewater treatment plants,the impact of project on the water bodies will be low in general. (2) Diversion Project Water from Sihe River will be diverted into the moat, and then to Gupanchi (Ancient Panchi Pool).Routine monitoring data in the recent three years demonstrate that the water quality of Sihe River is good, and can meet the Category IV requirement in the surface water environmental function zone categories. Furthermore, the water in the moat and the Ancient Panchi Pool is for recreational use. It is sufficient for such water to meet the Category V requirement. Therefore, the water quality of the Sihe River can meet the requirements of the water use in the moat

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ and the Ancient Panchi Pool. At present, there are still direct wastewater discharges into the moat and the Ancient Panchi Pool, resulting in a deteriorated water quality in these areas. Upon the completion of the project, no wastewater will be directly discharged into the moat and the Ancient Panchi Pool, and the water diverted from the Sihe River will significantly improve water quality of these areas. Zoucheng reservoir water diversion project from west reeds into because of the river, It is learned that west reed reservoir water quality can achieve water quality class. It is required to achieve V class according to minimum requirement of being source of landscape of Yingli Reiver. Therefore, it has met the requirement and upon the completion of project, there would be no longer any waste water or living garbage into. The water quality of river will be significantly improved. (3)Other items After the domestic garbage in the rivers is cleaned up, the concentration of the suspended solids will be lower than what it is now, and the turbidity of the river will be reduced as well. The local water quality and water environment will be effectively improved and an ecologically friendly landscape will be created with bridges and plants decorating the waters. Upon completion of bank slope protection facilities, they will stabilize the river cross-section and the main channel, making the flow surface level, the water flowing smoothly, and the river potential and flow pattern stabilized; Under the effect of slope protection facilities, the river banks will not collapse into the river and will help control the regional soil erosion and protect the river water quality. 4.2.2.3 Groundwater environmental impact assessment Wastewater discharged in the proposed project area at present is mostly domestic sewage, which is discharged directly without being processed. Long-term accumulation of garbage and silt on both sides of the rivers will cause infiltration, which will in turn lead to the pollution of shallow groundwater. The river training works in the proposed project will remove the garbage and sediment in the river and to reduce their accumulation and infiltration. It will have a positive benefit for the environment. This assessment also shows that there are two main sources of groundwater pollution in the project area: the first is wastewater, which would infiltrate the groundwater in the process of collection, treatment, reuse, and discharge; the second is reclaimed water after advanced treatment, used for green belt sprinkling.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ The infiltration of reclaimed water would also have an impact on the groundwater. A more detailed analysis is as follows: (1) Impact of wastewater infiltration on groundwater quality All of the domestic sewage collection and discharge in the project area will go through anti-seepage pipelines to avoid possible direct contact with the ground surface. Thus the sewage will not enter the groundwater through the hydraulic links between the surface water and groundwater and pose an impact on the groundwater quality. In addition, the quality of the wastewater discharged from the wastewater treatment plants in the project area is good enough to meet the III class of the surface water environmental function zoning requirements stipulated in the Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB3838-2002). Even if very small amount of wastewater could enter the groundwater, it would have little impact on the groundwater quality in the area and will not change the current situation of groundwater use. (2) Impact of infusion and percolation of domestic garbage leachate on the groundwater quality Inappropriate management of the refuse transfer stations in the project area may produce leachate. Inappropriate anti-seepage measures may cause leachate infiltration into the groundwater and lead to groundwater pollution. Therefore, the refuse transfer stations should be properly managed to control garbage leachate and good anti- seepage measures should be taken as well. Leachate can be piped to the wastewater treatment plants (stations) for treatment to prevent waste leachate from polluting the groundwater. Therefore,after centralized treatment, the domestic wastewater in the proposed project area will be piped into the urban wastewater treatment plants. Under the premise of proper anti-seepage measures, such as high-quality sewage pipes and networks, the groundwater in the surrounding areas will not be affected. The river training works in the proposed project area will remove the garbage and sediment in the rivers and control the groundwater pollution along the banks caused by wastewater infiltration. The project will have a positive benefit for the environment. In the process of wastewater infiltration, the pollutants will be blocked, absorbed and degraded by the soil and the concentration of these pollutants will be further reduced. Even if very small amount of wastewater could enter the groundwater, it would have little impact on the groundwater quality in the area and will not change the current

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ situation of groundwater use. The refuse transfer stations should try their best to avoid the generation of leachate. Strict anti-seepage measures should also be taken. The small amount of leachate generated there can be collected and piped to the wastewater treatment plants (stations) for further treatment to ensure that no impact will be posed on the groundwater. In summary, the construction of the proposed project will pose little impact on the water environment in the project area, and the construction of the river training works will have a positive benefit for the environment. 4.2.2.4 Noise environmental impact assessment The factors posing impact on the sound environment in the operation period of the project are mainly traffic noise, noise from recreational venues and noise generated from other human activities. Generally speaking, such impact is not generated from the project itself. After the implementation of reasonable development plan in the project area, comprehensive noise reduction measures (such as proper placement of noise-generating, sound insulation, and vibration reduction devices) will be taken and noise generated from entertainment and business operations will be controlled with such measures as prescribing operation time, strictly limiting the volume of audio-visual equipment and operation personnel. These measures will significantly mitigate the negative impact on the sound environment. (1)Impact assessment of noise of social activities Noise of social activities refers to that generated from equipment and facilities used in commercial cultural and recreational venues as well as business activities. Public recreational venues (including those in the hotels, movie theaters, opera houses, video halls, concert halls, dance halls, game arcades, and music teahouses) are one of the major sources of noise. As a vital part of urban environmental noise pollution, such noise not only poses impact on the people in these venues, but also interferes with the residents in the neighborhood. To control the noise of social activities, recreational venues should be built under stringent design requirements, public supervision mechanisms should be established, management regulations should be formulated, the principle of "creating a district- based departmental interaction system" and "those who are in charge should also be responsible" should be implemented and priorities should be identified as major and minor issues are taken into consideration. Not until can these measures are sufficiently taken, effective prevention of noise of social activities can be achieved, the quality of

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ urban sound environment can be improved, and a comfortable environment of work, live, study and travel for both local residents and visitors can be built. (2)Traffic noise impact assessment of the project area Upon the operation of this project, road traffic will increase with the increase of floating population and management personnel. As a result, the increased traffic noise will pose a certain amount of impact on the residents living near the roads. The forecast of the road traffic noise impact on the project is made with the road traffic noise forecast models. The formula is as follows: 1+a (LAeq)I=Lwi+10lg(Qi/ViT)+Klg(7.5/r) +S-13

where: Lwi—average radiation sound level when Model ivehicle running 7.5m from the road center, dB;

Qi—daytime or nighttime average hourly traffic volume of Modeli vehicle, V / h;

Vi—running speed of Model i vehicle, km / h;

T —prediction time of LAeq; r —distance of the prediction point to the road center, m; K —modified coefficient of the traffic density, by line-point sound source, take10~20; a —attenuation factor of ground absorption; S —additional attenuation, including the nature of road surface, slope and barrier effects. Table 4.2-8 shows the average radiation sound level and traffic volume of various models of vehicles. Table 4.2-8 Average radiation sound level and road traffic of various models of vehicles Models Small-sized Medium-sized Full-sized 60km/h Average sound 74.4 77.6 82 power level (dB) Traffic volume forecast 1400 100 60 (V/h) The contribution values of different distances are shown in Table 4.2-9.

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ Table 4.2-9 shows that traffic noise will pose a relatively large impact on the residential areas, especially residential buildings, hotels and hostels adjacent to the roads. Most buildings in the construction project area are low ones ( 3 stories) and are mostly for commercial use. Moreover, in order not to block the views and for decoration, tiles are laid in front of these buildings instead of green belts, which is not effective in sound insulation. This project will increase roadside green belts and areas and adopt a greening method of mixing tall cedar and locust trees with low evergreen holly trees. Together with lawns, the width of the green belts will reach at least 5m. These measures will result in a noise attenuation of around 4dB; Buildings demanding less acoustic quality will be built facing the roads. Noise insulation measures will be taken on the doors and windows close to the roads, such as improving the installation quality and decreasing the slots on the windows and doors. These measures will raise the sound insulation factor to at least 20dB. Other measures should be taken to ensure that the nearby residential and other facilities meet the standards. 4.2.2.5 Solid waste (1)The variation of solid waste Solid waste in the operation period of the project is mainly domestic garbage generated by the fixed and floating populations in the project area. The volume of domestic garbage generation and disposal before and after the completion of the project can be seen in Table 4.2-9. Table 4.2-9 The volume of domestic garbage generation and disposal before and after the completion of the project Unit: t/a Generation Regions Items Reductions Emissions volume Before 3595 2157 1438 After 4685 4685 0 Qufu Increase or 1090 2528 -1 438 decrease in volume Before 2272 1363 909 After 2907 2907 0 Zoucheng Increase or 635 1544 -909 decrease in volume (2) Solid waste environmental impact assessment

Urban domestic garbage is a major component of urban solid waste, characterized by its wide distribution, large production and complex ingredients. Upon the operation of the project, domestic garbage will be bagged and collected in a unified way by the sanitation departments. Garbage will be collected and transported on the day it is generated. Classification of garbage collection will be implemented in the project area. Garbage bins for classification will be set under every residential building and at crowded places. Domestic garbage will be collected separately after being classified according to the requirements of the sanitation departments before being recycled or transported for further treatment. Some domestic garbage in the project area will be transported to the municipal solid waste landfill. The garbage transfer stations built or being relied on in the construction project should take effective measures of dust and odor reduction and fly disinfestation and these facilities should be well maintained; Make sure that the garbage should be transferred promptly without being accumulated in the facilities; Garbage should be securely sealed in the process of the transport and make sure that no garbage should be dropped or left on the vehicles. After taking such measures, the solid waste transfer stations will pose little impact on the residents in the project area.

With the above-mentioned measures, the domestic garbage generated in the project area can be effectively treated and the impact of solid waste on the water environment will be reduced. (3)Rational analysis of waste disposal site selection

Under the planning requirements of this project, a refuse transfer station will be built at Xishantou village, close to the cemetery of the Mencius family. It belongs to land for construction use where a precast factory is running at present. The site selection meets the land use planning requirements. In addition, the site should be located under the dominant wind direction and at a place low in altitude. This can effectively reduce the impact of the refuse transfer station on the atmosphere. As the current site is located between the cemetery of the Mencius family and the middle of Xishantou village, it will facilitate garbage collection after the completion of the

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ project. In addition, the construction site of the project is close to the main road of the village, which is conducive to garbage transfer to the urban garbage treatment sites. Therefore, the location of the proposed refuse transfer station is reasonable. 4.3 Ecological impact analysis 4.3.1 Range of ecological impact The range of ecological environment impact assessment is the the scope of sites of Shandong Province Confucius and Mencius cultural heritage protection construction project, the total area is 1319.7hm2. According to the locations of the project, the ecological impact scope of the construction area includes Qufu and Zoucheng two project areas. Qufu project area is divided into four regions:Mount Ni, Confucius Cemetery, Lu Historic City, river restoration areas; Zoucheng project area is divided into three regions: Mencius Cemetery, Zoucheng Historic City, river restoration areas,a total of seven regions . 4.3.2 Ecological impact analysis of construction 4.3.2.1 The impact of Lu Historic City and Zoucheng Historic City project construction on urban ecological (1)The impact on urban landscape If construction mode is unreasonable, it may have damaging effects on ancient buildings, stone inscription and monument protection, building block during the maintenance and repair of ancient buildings, stone inscription and monument protection, building block renovation and reconstruction; During the construction period, if the construction operations are concentrated, the visitors mey have some visual discomfort either from the overall landscape or monomer landscape. (2) The impact on old tree and famous wood species The growth of old trees is affected by their own factors, environmental factors, human factors, pest and disease factors, natural disaster and other factors.If Lu Historic City and Zoucheng Historic City project construction take unreasonable protection measures against old tree and famous wood species,it will exacerbate the negative growth of their environment. 4.3.2.2 The impact of Mount Ni, Confucius Cemetery and Mencius Cemetery project construction on ecological

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ The construction of Mount Ni, Confucius Cemetery and Mencius Cemetery project have an impact on the ancient building itself, old trees and famous wood species and surrounded forest communities . Vegetation in new construction area within the project will be removed.The soil within an area will be post-hardening after the laying of the foundation.It is impossible to restore vegetation in situ. Vegetation cover has decreased to some extent of area in a small area of the new construction project. 4.3.2.3 The impact of river restoration areas project construction on ecology The impact of river restoration areas project construction on ecological environment mainly reflected in the landscape. New occupied farmland will lose new agricultural biomass 23.93t (by occupied farmland 1.1hm2, 21.75t/hm2 biomass per unit area). During the process of construction, a large number of soil, rock removal will cause some soil erosion. New excavation surface of Qufu river restoration areas will suffer varying degrees of damage, local landscape will undergo great changes.If soil conservation measures are not taken, the total soil erosion within the construction period accounted of 35t.Soil erosion easily causes varying degrees of harm on regional ecological environment, water quality, etc., 4.3.3 Ecological impact analysis of operation period 4.3.3.1 Analysis of impact on ecosystems The impact of Shandong Province Confucius and Mencius cultural heritage protection construction project on all types of ecosystems mainly reflected in: The function of architecture ecosystem is to be strengthened because of the protection of ancient buildings and street repairs;The artificial green space ecosystem and water ecosystem has expanded because of the construction of river restoration and landscaping green; Forest ecosystems remain basically unchanged; The new farmland and excavation sites in Qufu river restoration areas lead to a slight decrease in farmland ecosystem. 4.3.3.2 Analysis of impact on land use The construction of the project will not change the overall land use pattern.Forest land, construction land, roads and others basicly remain unchaged. Artificial greenbelt and waters will increase, and farmland will be reduced. But compared to the evaluation area, the above amplitude changes to classes are very small. 4.3.3.3 Analysis of impact on vegetation and biomass

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ Except that Qufu river restoration areas new excavation sites occupy a small amount of farmland and Meng Lin forest conservation road damage a small amount of vegetation of the Shandong province confucius and mencius cultural heritage protection construction project,other projects do not take vegetation basicly, and implement protection of the ancient famous trees, so the project as a whole has little effect on vegetation. 4.3.3.4 Analysis of impact on landscape After the evaluation area construction is completed, visitors flow and tourism activities increase will to some extent affect the landscape. However, the construction project can promote the cultural relics ontology protection and technology. Meanwhile, the urban landscape have more three-dimensional effect and much more space variation forming the classical urban landscape making the landscape heterogeneity of project even more richer. 4.3.3.5 Analysis of impact on river channels River restoration projects may involve part of the aquatic environment.Due to river there is no rare aquatic life distribution, its original environment is interrupted after the human disturbance by varying degrees.There are less aquatic organisms which urgent need for renovation and repair. The project construction period is short, regulation and restoration project of rivers or reservoirs are small-scale , and basicly the ecological way is used for construction. The construction project will not involve an impact on aquatic organisms. 4.3.3.6 Cultural relics impact analysis Evaluation zone has many cultural relics, mainly distributed in lu and zoucheng ancient city, etc. In order to attract more tourists to visit, shandong Confucius cultural heritage protection construction project of cultural relics related facilities reformation and construction, this project may cause the destruction of cultural relics directly or indirectly. This project is the protection and restoration for the historic cultural relics and buildings which is helpful for the protection of cultural relics. 4.3.4 Ecological Protection Measures 4.3.4.1 Preventive Measures of Exotic Species To the affect of exotic species, Preventive measures should be stressed, we should establish the conception of food safety and ecological security, perfect the methods of quarantining and recognizing introduction species, enhancesupervisory

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ control and management of exotic species induing and build up the information bank and early warning system of exotic species.Besides,we should establish consciousness of preventing the biological invasion,change the conception of exotic tree and grass species be better than the native species,make full use of the native species to revegetation,regenerating the original natural vegetation. 4.3.4.2 Protection Measures of Biodiversity When the construction of revegetation encounter the habitat or breeding places of animals or birds, a distance should be kept.Encountering rare species, in situ protection should be adopted,disturbing its living environment is forbidden,not to mention hunting.In order to protect the specific species,forbiding human disturbing or cultivating at its habitat and round enclosing measure should be adopted. 4.3.4.3 Water and Soil Conservation Measures To the areas where water and soil erosion happens easily,such as the newly excavation area in the riverway by diversion works,combination of engineering measures and biological measures should be used to prevent water and soil erosion. As follows,Engineering measures includes: (1) The project at newly excavation area should avoid large earthworks and reduce disturbing to the relief by making full use of physical relief.The main roads and building materials piling area where the vehicles usually go in and out should be indurated to prevent environment destruction by raised dust or water and soil erosion. (2) Walls Blocking Soil At the newly excavation area in the riverway by diversion works,there will be soils and rocks piling up temporarily.While,it will become the source of water and soil erosion under the gravity when meeting thunderstorm.In order to block soils and rocks which abandoned temporarily during construction,walls by 1.52m high should be built up at the periphery of the area disturbed greatly by construction. (3)Construction Organisation Careful organisation is necessary during construction for reducing the volume of water and soil erosion.We should take thorough argumentation to the design plan of road construction and the dig plan of earth and stone,a better plan which causing less volume of water and soil will be choosen.Fully-enclosed management will be adopted at the construction area,and construction workers will be asked to construct civilised,greening and beautify the construction evironment. Biological Measures includes:

To the field occupied by construction temparily, cultivated mellow soil on the surface which have been put aside should be leveled again to recovering the original surface,when complete construction.A revegetation plan should be made to the bed mud piled up,if greening the mud in time,it not only prevent water and soil erosion by winds and rains,but also in favor of vegetation growth,environment protection and avoiding riverway silting-up. During the construction,publicity and education of ecological protection to construction workers and local residents should be intensified,so that it can alleviate the affect of construction to land animals and plants.According the different conditions of construction,we should use advanced technology and methods to controll or reduce the affects and destroy to the landscape and local vegetation caused by excavation works. 4.4Social impact analysis The content of Social environmental impact analysis is mainly from Social assessment report of Shandong Province protect the confucius and mencius cultural heritage of the World Bank Loan Project worked by Shandong Province construction and development institute . Social environmental impact analysis of the project proposed is designed to distinguish between the positive and negative social impact, to avoid negative social impacts to the maximum,to play the social benefits of projects. 4.4.1the positive social impact 1.Projects construction is in line with national policies and regulations and general planning requirements promoting the Chinese traditional culture to

The project’s construction and operation after completed will make a unique contribution to the the diversity of the world intangible cultural heritage. 2. Through the restoration and protection of cultural relics, passing on the carrier of the Confucius and Mencius culture to the younger generations leaving a valuable material and spiritual wealth for future generations. As the living fossil of historical process, cultural relics is the witness of history. Relics archaeologyresearch helps us understand the history of human development, help to improve the level of visual impact, help to enrich the cultural life, thereby promot the development and utilization of resources.Cultural resources are of scientific research, education and other important values. 3. Promote the sustainable development of local tourism resources and increase tourism revenue Qufu City projects will help raise the level of cultural protection and development playing an active role to update and enhanc the image of old city. The overall level improvement will greatly enhance the appeal of Qufu as the hometown of saint Confucius,especially serve as a model for future development of city districts, thus promot the development of tourism. Zoucheng construction projects promote the protection of three Meng cultural heritages,enhancing the image and environment of the ancient city historic district, and making it different from attractive Qufu.Completion of the project will help to promote integrated development of tourism in Zoucheng and Qufu . 4. The transformation of the ancient city infrastructure and the neighborhood reconstruction demonstration improve the urban environment and urban infrastructure,further enhance the city’s service function and the quality of urban construction which has a major role in improving the living environment and promoteing social security and stability. 5. Through community participation during the project peration, local communities can effectively add to the project operation and routine maintenance in an effort to increase the income of local communities.

Community training subprojects can help local residents improve tourism services, preserve the tradition of craftsmanship, which provides visitors with a better, more comprehensive and human services. 7. Project improvements will promote the project cities to improve revenue, increase employment opportunities for local residents, greatly increase the income of local residents. 8. Meet the aspirations of the descendants of Confucius and Mencius,and lay a good foundation for them to inherit and carry forward the Confucian way of Confucius and Mencius. 9. The evaluation team found that the daily life of residents are closely related to the pollution of Gupan pool and take Yinliriver. Readily dumping and indiscriminate discharge of sewage made the Gupan pool and take Yinliriver a waste storage tank and sewage river. The follow-up management of the Gupan pool and take Yinliriver control project will greatly improve the status of the two rivers, improve the bad habits of residents in nearby communities to improve their quality of life. 4.4.2the negative social impact 1. The project area is mainly located in the old town, bringing a large amount land acquisition and housing demolition .This will temporarily have a greater negative impac on the normal life of immigrants. 2. Implementation of this project is to reconstruct and repair street area houses and shops of better structure, according to the style of historical building facades.In the process of reconstruction and renovation, adverse effects on residents are: (1) Change the original appearance and form of housing.Residents are not suited to the layout of housing within a period of time,so there will be some comments; (2) Construction process has an impact on residents daily life and shop operators which temporarily reduces their revenue. 3.The project has many subprojects, and the construction period is long. In the construction period it will produce the following adverse effects (1) Dust and sewage generated during construction will have an impact on the surrounding environment, and hinder the daily life of the masses; (2) Noise generated during construction will affect the residents of the normal work and life and rest.

The protection of ancient city, especially the implementation of the ancient city protection manual, will affect the the free development of local communities.Should not properly handled, it will be negative for the local community social . However, Qufu and Zoucheng has been finished the ancient city protection plan, clearing the importance of protecting cultural heritage from the government to the public, encouraging the protection of existing cultural heritage, promoting the the project cities to upgrade and transform to the history city to ensure that new urban development keeps in step with the existing cultural heritage protection agreement in value.Therefore, the protection plan emphasize that all new construction or maintenance work not to jeopardize the cultural values, and provide the initial proposal for the right government and the building owners for the history of the city’s upgrade request to avoid unnecessary conflicts. If we can successfully address the conflict between conservation and development, the ancient city protection manual importance will be highlighted to avoid a negative impact on the public. 5. As the project involves an extensive range, population differentiation is also more serious, operation of the project may adversely affect the fair benefit of the project different stakeholders. (1) Immigrants. We believe that permanent relocation problem is is an important factor leading to the fair benefit of community residents. When people are forced to permanent migration, the existing production system will be destroyed, livelihoods changed, and not directly enjoy the social benefits caused by the project. (2) The manner and extent of community participation in project construction and operation is different. Varying quality of cultural community cadres lead to the differences of the manner and extent of community participation in project construction and operation. Differences in business model result in community benefit from injustice. (3) Cultural differences in the quality of community residents result in differences in tourism revenue. Construction of the project will inevitably lead to the

4.5Analysis of total control Country’s "total control" is in fact regional, that is, when the increase of in local pollutant emissions is inevitable, the same industry or regional emissions should be reducted, the sources of pollutants within the region emission load should be controlled in a certain amount, so that the environmental quality of the pollutants’ receiving water ,air and so on can reach the required target. According to "the notice of the" Eleventh Five-Year "Plan of major pollutants emission control and environmental protection key projects issued by Shandong Province," Shandong Province mainly implement total amount control on two kinds of pollutants during "Eleventh Five-Year" period. Specific for SO2 in the exhaust and COD in the wastewater. After completion, the living fuel of people in the project area are mainly depended on liquefied petroleum gas-based fuel, supplemented by briquette ,they are all clean energy, without considering the total pollutant emission control; in the project area there is no industrial enterprises discharge waste water, the waste water is mainly from the direct discharge of residents, management staff and mobile staff .It is predicted that after project is completed, the regional COD emissions is 39.3t / a

All the cultural relics protection units are strictly protected by relevant national laws. The Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and the Cemetery of Confucius family are the key units of heritage protection in Shandong province. In 1981, the ancient city of the Ming dynasty in Qufu became a state-level historical and cultural city, protected by the relevant laws and regulations; in 1994, the Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and Cemetery of Confucius family were approved as a world heritage, so the whole area of the ancient city of the Ming dynasty became a buffer zone for the heritage. Now Zoucheng city has also been included in the current state-level historical and cultural cities. In terms of planning, the local government and administrative offices of cultural relics have made a number of protection plans. And in the overall urban planning, the requirements of historical relics protection have been taken into account. All the relevant requirements concerning the urban development and building height control are strictly followed. In terms of investment, the state-level key cultural relics protection units receive government funding each year for the protection and repair of the cultural relics. For

In addition, the funding for daily maintenance of these three cultural relics is also provided by the Government. In terms of R & D in heritage protection, the state government and related cultural relics departments have been committed to the research of the repairing work of key cultural relics. The training of heritage restoration personnel is also done regularly. The funding for cultural relics protection provided by this project will help develop the diversity of sources of funds for renovation of cultural relics. Moreover, the platform provided by the World Bank will also enhance the influence of cultural heritage sites and upgrade their cultural value. 5.2.2 Problems in heritage conservation (1) Management issues Within the project area, in general, the state of conservation of cultural heritage is quite poor, and some units even have very serious problems, which involve the funding of protection, the choice of protection technology, the maintenance of heritage authenticity, the control methods of management and development, and other aspects. Obviously, we need to make in-depth review of our protection work from the strategic framework to the specific technical details. In the project area, some constructions have problems in the choice of material for the repair and maintenance work, so the architectural styles of many courtyards are not consistent, and random construction structures are easy to find. Some of the old houses have serious structural problems such as rotten beams, deformed rafters, broken walls, twisted beams, collapsed parts, etc. caused by weathering, worm damages and lack of maintenance. (2) Historical and cultural communities are arbitrarily modified Due to the lack of unified planning for historic districts, arbitrary repair and unauthorized construction by local residents have made some neighborhoods lose the old style. (3) Low sense of observing cultural relics protection laws of local residents Most local residents lack understanding of cultural relics protection laws, and their conservation awareness is very weak. 5.2.3 The status of damages of cultural heritage in the project area

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ In the project area, generally speaking, the cultural relics are in poor conditions. For example, for the ancient buildings, some of them have damages in roofs or brick walls; some have problems with doors, windows, and wooden beam structures; a large number of them have the paint peeled off, and some buildings are in dangerous states; in some places, the outdoor brick ground is severely damaged; a large number of ancient paintings from the Ming and Qing dynasties are even facing irreversible damages; a lot of outdoor stone tablets in many cultural relics are exposed to weathering and erosion, without proper protection; most of the stone monuments, tablets and buildings in the cemeteries are not under effective protection and management; some of the ancient trees have their roots exposed. There are some other protection issues with the cultural heritages, and some of them are very serious. For example, historic buildings, including ancient residence buildings are disappearing in these historic towns; the ancient water systems are silted up and ancient springs are now dried up. In Zoucheng and Qufu, only the height of new buildings among all the controlling measures is well observed. Apart from this aspect, the protection of the ancient towns is not enough. To better protect and transform the ancient cities and improve the economy has become a major concern of the local government. Insufficient investment in the project area is an important factor that has caused damages of the cultural heritages. Therefore, harnessing foreign capital for better protection of the cultural relics and restoration of historical sites is another important way to raise funds. 5.3 Cultural heritage protection plans and projects 5.3.1 Principles, objectives and objects in cultural relics conservation planning (a) Principles: Insisting on the heritage conservation policy of “focusing on protection and timely rescue; focusing on rational use; and strengthening management”; implementing protection projects to renovate cultural relics; using local and traditional mature technology in the renovating projects and protecting local building techniques and technologies; implementing comprehensive upgrading measures of the surrounding environment based on the principle of keeping historical and cultural heritages’ “authenticity” and “integrity”. (2) Objectives: Balancing the protection of cultural relics and the development of local economy. Integrating the protection, construction, and utilization of cultural

Balancing the relationship of local livelihood, tourism development and protection. Achieving effective protection and reasonable utilization by strengthening management. (3) Protection objects: ancient buildings and other relics in the protection area; important cultural relics and documents that are kept by various protection institutions or families; underground cultural relics in the protection area; the overall historical building style and natural environment; local architecture technique featuring the use wooden structures; other cultural relics. 5.3.2 Planning and Provision of Conservation 5.3.2.1 Related requirements on protection scope and construction control areas According to the terms in “Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics” and “Chinese Cultural Relics Protection Guidelines” and other relevant laws on the protection of cultural relics which are about construction control zones, and taking Qufu and Zoucheng’s specific local situations into consideration, the cultural relics are divided into three categories: core protected areas, protection zones and construction control areas. (1) Core protected areas. The existing courtyards of each conservation unit. Use the walls as natural boundaries; if a courtyard has no walls, and then use roads/ditches as boundaries. 2) According to the practical conservation work in Jining city, the scope of cultural relics protection and construction control zone is to extend 10-20 meters outside the core protected area. 3) The alteration, renovation, reconstruction project carried out in the protection zones should be coherent with the overall landscape; the new constructions should not affect the safety of cultural relics or the surrounding environment, or undermine the historical style of the cultural relics protection units. The form and colors of architecture should be consistent with the local environment. At present, the protection zones of the national key cultural relics (i.e. the temples, mansions, and the cemeteries of Confucius and Mencius, Nishan Hill, Yan Temple, and the ancient town of the State of Lu) have been clarified in the project areas. The scope of protection for other cultural relics will be drawn out by the provincial and municipal conservation organizations. Project-related cultural relics protection zones are listed in Table 5.2-1.

(1) Protection zone delimitation 1) 5 meters from the vertical projection of tree crown at the outer edge of a forest. 2) For single trees, the protection zone is 5 meters from the vertical projection of the crown, or 20 times of the diameter of the trunk. (2) In the protected area, the surface soil and surface elevation are forbidden to be moved or changed. No buildings, structures, overhead (or buried) power grids, or all kinds of transit pipelines should be built, except protecting and strengthening facilities; vines winding around ancient trees should not be planted. (3) Do not set up objects in the vicinity of ancient and famous trees shadowing them; do not emit pollutants which are harmful for the ancient trees. (4) Protection levels of ancient and famous trees: The ancient and famous trees are divided into two levels. The trees which are 300 years and older, or which are rare or special, and of great historical value, or carrying important scientific research value, belong to level 1; the others belong to level 2. For the level 1 ancient trees, the following work should be done: 1) Sending the material for archiving to the urban construction department of national, provincial, municipal level. 2) Building fences for the ancient trees; the fences should be set at least 2 meters from the tree trunks. If this standard cannot be met at some specific places, the fences should be able to prevent people from touching the tree trunk. Plant clover and other legumes inside the fences to keep the soil moist and air permeable. Water the trees properly according to the species. 3) Since old trees have been growing in the same place for a long time, the soil fertility will decline. Fertilize the trees according to the soil element contents. Prune the trees properly. Check for pests and diseases regularly. Use integrated control measures and use safe, efficient, low toxicity pesticides and new technology instead of highly toxic pesticides. Ancient and famous trees, level 2:

A copy should be sent to the provincial and municipal construction department. 2) Since old trees have been growing in the same place for a long time, the soil fertility will decline. Fertilize the trees according to the soil element contents. Prune the trees properly. Check for pests and diseases regularly. Use integrated control measures and use safe, efficient, low toxicity pesticides and new technology instead of highly toxic pesticides. 5.4 Repair process and feasibility analysis 5.4.1 Repair process Under the “Technical Specifications on Old Building Maintenance and Strengthening” requirement, we stick to the principles of “focusing on protection and timely rescue; focusing on rational use; and strengthening management”, and to the repairing principles of using “original design, original material and original techniques”, trying not to change the historic forms and conditions and ensure the authenticity of cultural relics. The following renovation plan is proposed: (1) Buildings 1) Major repairs: Buildings with sinking foundations, or serious slope of columns, broken wood frames should have major repairs by lowering down the main beam and then restore its original form. 2) Roof renovation: Less damaged buildings will have their roof tiles removed and bad beams replaced, and then the roofs will be renovated. 3) Complete restoration work: There are some buildings in the Kong Family Mansion which have been transformed beyond recognition. For example, in the West Wing-room (Xixianfang), the drains inside are in a mess, the original adobe walls are on a verge of collapse, its humid inside, and the column walls and beams are serious rotten. These buildings should be completely restored in accordance with the original design at the original site. 4) Demolition:

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ Some of the expanded buildings have severely affected the cultural landscape in the protected area. For example, after the buildings along Kongfuxi Lu were used by Confucius Mansion Hotel, the hotel buildings have been expanded, including a kitchen and its basement, etc. Such buildings shall be fully removed. After the removal, archaeological excavation should be carried out to see if there are ancient building foundations under the site. 5) Internal environment and other issues: Walls—Repair the walls of exiting courtyards. For yards with the walls torn down, original forms of walls should be built to restore the original privacy of ancient courtyards. It is also a safety measure for the courtyards. Greening: Taking care of existing trees and flowers within the courtyard. Trim the trees annually to prevent the long branches from damaging the buildings. Replace dead trees with the same species. Paths and ground in courtyards: Renovate paths and ground in courtyards. 5.4.2 Repair process and feasibility analysis The proposed project is located in cultural heritage protection areas, and it is a conservation construction project. In these areas, most of the relics are famous historical and cultural relics with a long history. But due to economic, technical and management problems, some of the relics have been lack of protection and are seriously damaged, some are no longer in existence. These relics must be restored. The renovation program of this project will follow the following principles or rules: (1) The renovation program will be carried out under the direction of related laws and regulations, and under the consent of heritage protection authorities. We will stick to the principles of “focusing on protection and timely rescue; focusing on rational use; and strengthening management”, and to the repairing principles of using “original design, original material and original techniques”, trying not to change the historic forms and conditions and ensure the authenticity of cultural relics. (2) The planning of maintenance of ancient buildings will be based on the information provided by the cultural heritage bureaus. The objects which need maintenance will be discussed. Each of these items will be reviewed and approved according to standards of repairing ancient buildings. Meanwhile, the maintenance and reinforcement of ancient buildings must be based on the structural reliability identification. Each identified damage should be properly dealt with according to its seriousness. The damages that significantly affect the safety of the structure should be

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ immediately reinforced. In addition, the ancient forms and styles should be clarified on-site to draw maps and blueprints for the maintenance program. The existing material and structures should be dealt with carefully. Try to keep or reuse existing structures. If it is necessary to replace the wood components, the new components should carry marks of the date of replacement. Plans of the heritage restoration project should be compiled by professional organizations, and should be approved by local government and the cultural relics management department of a higher level. (3) According to the “Technical Specifications on Maintenance and Reinforcement of Ancient Wooden Buildings”, the repair work should be carried out after the buildings have been carefully surveyed. If an emergency occurs to a building that needs immediate repair, non-damaging approaches can be used for temporary reinforcement. (4) As heritage protection work has its own characteristics, the restoration work should be done by experienced local construction teams, whose qualifications should be verified by related authorities. According to the survey of the protected areas, the cultural relics have experienced several major repairs. The local workers have extensive experiences in repairing ancient buildings and other cultural relics, so they are qualified for this project. Based on the above conditions, the proposed rehabilitation program of project are all controllable. The proposed repairing or restoring work is necessary and reasonable. 5. 5 Management and monitoring of cultural relics 1. Cultural relics Management The construction sites are scattered in a wide region of the project area. Due to the serious shortage of funds from local governments, the incompleteness of administrative agencies, and incomplete administration measures, some of the local cultural relics department is not clear with their responsibilities of cultural relics protection and management, a fact that needs improvement. A project management and monitoring system will be established based on “Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics”. The management bodies of the proposed project includes the project office, the Cultural Heritage Bureau of Shandong province and local government, with the work directly supervised and coordinated by the Cultural Heritage Bureau of Shandong

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ province. The local governments and their cultural departments will develop management regulations and principles, and implement the specific measures on the heritage conservation work in the administrative areas. Specifically, their responsibility include the preparation of conservation planning, clear criteria and priorities for protection, classifications of protective measures, and integrate the protection plan with the national economic and social development plan, and land use plan and urban and rural development plan of local governments (above the county level) . 2. Heritage supervision Non-moveable cultural objects in these areas should be declared as cultural relics protection units based on its historical, artistic and scientific value. Establish protection zones and implement relevant provisions of protection and management in accordance with “Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics” and “The Enforcement Regulations of Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics”. Description of the cultural relics should include the name of conservation unit, the core zone, the buffer zone, protection agencies and so on. In addition, the local government should create archives about the protected relics, and send relevant documents and reports to the Cultural Heritage Bureau of Shandong province, and establish dynamic high-tech information systems and early warning systems when it becomes necessary and possible. Carry out routine maintenance and supervisions of the cultural relics, and keep a log of the activity. When potential risks exist for cultural relics, the protection agency should take control measures, and report to local people’s governments (above the county level) and provincial cultural relics departments. If emergency occurred that might endanger the cultural relics, the protect institutions should immediately take necessary control measures, and report to local people’s governments (above the county level) and provincial cultural relics departments. When the provincial cultural relics department receives such reports, it should choose the proper disposition measures based on different circumstances. It is also responsible for the implementation of such measures, checking the state of emergency treatment, and making proposals for the prevention of similar incidents. 5.6 The analysis of the impact of cultural relics protection

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ The impact of the conservation project mainly occurs during the construction period. As it only requires a small amount of engineering, the impact is mainly restricted to the neighborhood, and the wastes it generated will cause very little effect on the external environment. The infrastructure construction on the edge or outside the ancient towns does not undermine the cultural relics itself. Actually, it will help to upgrade the social values of the heritage. Therefore, the conservation project’s positive effects will be far greater than its negative effects. 5.6.1 The positive impact of conservation projects (1) Enhance the protection of the cultural heritage Due to the limitations in terms of funding and technical resources in the protected areas, the mitigation measures of the heritage are not fully implemented. As a result, some cultural relics face grave dangers. The project plan to: renovate buildings with leaking and deformed beams by removing and replacing the tiles and deformed beams; renovate ancient buildings which are seriously damaged such as Laoshi Fu (The Old Ten Houses) and Sifu (Four Houses); strengthen the protection of some valuable stone tablets; implement systematic and comprehensive cultural environment improvement programs surrounding the cultural heritage, and improve the coherence between the environment and heritage itself to display a complete Confucian culture to the world. By using the World Bank funds for the conservation of the heritages of Confucius and Mencius, the cultural protection work will be greatly enhanced, and the valuable material and spiritual wealth can be passed on to future generations. . (2) Improve infrastructure construction in the ancient cities Most parts of the ancient city of the Ming dynasty and the Lu state, and the ancient town of Zouxian have disappeared. Through this project, a large number of surviving monuments, ruins will be excavated and recovered. It will also improve the environment of the ancient towns, especially the water systems to reproduce their ancient styles. On the other hand, it will improve deteriorated buildings in the neighborhood of Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, and the Cemetery of Confucius family. Other measures include: constructing supporting infrastructure and improve sanitation conditions; improving the living standard of local residents; improving the relevance of surrounding buildings with the Confucian culture; meeting the demand of local residents to improve the local infrastructure and living conditions. By improving and renovating the infrastructure in ancient town, and neighborhood

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ redevelopment demonstration projects, the urban environment will improve, and the city’s service function will be enhanced. The overall quality of the city will also be improved. Such measures have significant effect on improving the living environment and promoting social security and stability. (3) Sustainable development of heritage conservation The project will enhance the level of cultural protection, promote the development, and upgrade the image of the ancient cities. With the upgrading of the overall level of Qufu and Zoucheng, the cities’ attraction will also be improved. These cases of development will become models for the development other ancient towns. The project can promote the development of urban services and the integration of these two cities. 5.6.2 Negative impact of the project 1. Pollution control measures during construction (including construction outside the heritage area) The impact of constructions can be viewed from two aspects: the construction program in the heritage area and its impact on the surrounding, and the constructions outside the heritage area and their impacts on the cultural relics. Soil erosion and landscape impact analysis is included in the part about external effects on the heritage. (1) Emissions Impact on cultural relics: Cultural relics protective measures included in the project are the maintenance, repair or renovation of ancient buildings, paints, stone monuments, traditional roads, old trees, gardens, etc. The work will be mainly manual work. The use of machinery is extremely rare. The main emissions are dust, odor generated by spraying paints, and a small amount of exhaust gases from the machinery. The paints used will be made of natural materials like mineral and plant pigments. The operating area is quite limited, and the emissions will be diluted and distributed naturally. The construction site and roads will be cleaned and sprayed regularly to reduce dust emissions. External construction: The construction sites of the restoration of ancient residential areas in the ancient city of the Ming dynasty and the ancient town of Zoucheng are at least 500 meters from the cultural heritage sites, so the dust has little impact on them. The constructions of roads and pipelines are near to the sites of cultural relics, so the construction dust has some impact on them. During the construction, the construction

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ teams will make sound plans, strengthen the management of earth excavation, and set up temporary dust blocking walls on the edge of cultural relics. The small amount of abandoned soil produced during the construction will be cleared in time. By implementing these measures, the impact on the heritage will be minimized. The emission from construction equipment is temporary, and will not have any impact after the construction. (2) Wastewater Impact on cultural relics: Wastewater generated during the construction of the project will be collected by the toilets near the cultural heritage sites, then dumped into the municipal sewage pipe network, and will eventually be sent to the sewage treatment plants in Qufu or Zoucheng. As the main ancient buildings in the project are wooden, there will be no wastewater produced during construction. The paints, restoration of traditional paths, and the protection of rare trees will not consume much water, and will not produce any wastewater. The restoration and renovation of stone tablets do not need water. Therefore, the project will only produce a small amount of domestic wastewater, and it will not have much impact on the environment. External construction: For the small amount of wastewater produced by construction work, the construction units should set up temporary settling ponds to recycle it, and the sewage should be dumped into public toilets and then enter the towns’ sewage network. Arbitrary dumping of sewage water is strictly prohibited. (3) Noise Impacts on cultural relics: The noises from the conservation constructions are mainly produced by construction equipment and transport vehicles. During the construction, such noises will inevitably affect the residents in the neighborhood. However, most of the work will be done manually. There are very little mechanical noise sources. Moreover, most of the restoration work will be carried out during daytime, with the help of appropriate construction technology and process by reducing vibrations and the use of large equipment, noise impact of the project is small. External construction: Road excavation and pipeline construction outside the heritage area involves the use of vehicles and other machinery. The noise and vibration will certainly have some impact on people and cultural relics in the neighborhood. The counter-measures include keeping the construction machinery as

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ far from the core protection sites as possible, and reducing the vibration and noise to the minimum. Arrange the progress of the construction properly to minimize the time needed. (4) Solid waste: Impact on cultural relics: The solid waste from the construction is mainly produced by restoring ancient buildings and traditional paths. There will also be garbage produced by workers. The project will try to reuse the materials, so the waste from old buildings is very little. The reusable material will be sent to recycling facilities or recycled directly for the renovation. The waste and garbage will be sent to landfill site. Garbage should be piled only at designated sites, and will be cleaned regularly. It is strictly prohibited to mix it with construction waste. Garbage and sludge cleaned up in water restoration will be sent to the local landfill; the garbage will be directly landfilled, and the sludge will be dried and then used as cover soil for landfill. After the solid waste is properly processed, it will make little impact on the environment, and the urban water environment can be beautified. External construction: The infrastructure construction and restoration of ancient houses will produce some solid waste. The construction teams should clean up the waste promptly, and send to the specified location assigned by the municipality. Piling up waste in the neighborhood of cultural relics protection areas is strictly prohibited to prevent dust pollution from the waste. (5) Soil and water conservation: The maintenance of ancient buildings, stone tablets and carvings, and old trees does not involve earth excavation. The renovation of the back garden, Nishan Hill slope protection, restoration historical paths and restoration of ancient rivers will involve a small amount of earth excavation. Excavated earth will be used for the renovation of the paths and the back garden. Basically, there will be no soil abandoned in these constructions. Nishan Hill slope protection is designed to prevent potential landslide and water and soil erosion. The material used is rugged rocks. The excavated earth will be filled back. If more material is required for the refilling, residue will be used instead of soil. The construction will be divided into several stages and sites, so each site will be finished within a short period of time. The exposed site after excavation will have prevention measures, and reduce the exposure

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ time to reduce soil erosion. The stacking site for the small amount of abandoned soil or borrowed soil should be covered with water proofing material to prevent soil loss during the rainy season. The slopes of the soil stacks should be slight and pressed hard to prevent water erosion. Strengthen construction management, enhance the education of workers on soil and water conservation. Do not carry out construction in storms, and reduce soil erosion. (6) The impact on the urban landscape and the heritage The objectives of the project are to protect the cultural relics and improve the historic districts in Zoucheng and Qufu. Therefore, it will not have negative impact on the urban landscape or the cultural relics. However, if the guiding principles are not proper, or if inappropriate methods are used, the result might be disastrous to the cultural relics, bringing about irreversible damages. The main protective measures to improve the urban landscape and protect the cultural relics include: 1) Avoid negative impacts on cultural relics in the design of engineering work for the project. Engineering design for each building should be carried out before the construction. The plan must ensure the safety and stability of old buildings. The construction of infrastructure must observe the protection boundaries. Construction within the boundaries must be approved before it starts. 2) The construction teams should make a plan for cultural relics protection together with related institutions. During house relocation, road excavation and pipe laying works, if ancient ruins or buried cultural relics were found, the work should be immediately suspended, and special personnel should be assigned to protect the scene. The event should be reported to the authorities of the construction units. The construction unit should coordinate with heritage conservation agencies to carry out the excavation. If necessary, the pipelines can be modified to avoid the site of great archaeological value. 2. Environmental impacts during operation and mitigation measures For the heritage itself, except a small amount of dust produced by daily maintenance, there will be no waste at all. The major problem for the cultural relics is still the corrosion caused by weathering, so routine supervision and maintenance are of key importance. The cultural relics departments or regulatory agencies should

Environmental Science Research & Design Institute of Shandong Province (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRIÃWKHÃ3URWHFWLRQÃ3URMHFWVÃ8VLQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃLQÃ&RQIXFLXVÃ DQGÃ0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃ strengthen the management and monitoring of cultural relics and minimize the damages. (1) Emissions: After the infrastructure renovation project in the ancient city of the Ming dynasty and Zoucheng, central heating systems will be used in the residential and commercial areas of the two cities. Hence the history of burning coal for heating will be over, which will avoid the risk of fire accidents in winter, and help improve air quality in winter. In the ancient city, the management of exhaust fume from restaurants should be strengthened. The fume must be purified and meet the standard before it can be discharged to the atmosphere. Strengthen traffic management in the neighborhood of the project. Control traffic flow and keep normal vehicles from getting into the conservation area. In the protected areas, vehicles using clean energy will be used, thus reducing the impact of vehicle exhaust on the heritage. The report suggests that the parking lots in the ancient city of the Ming dynasty and the ancient town of Zoucheng county should be relocated in places far from the central areas of cultural relics. In the meantime, electric cars should be adopted for transportation to reduce traffic exhaust. (2) Wastewater: After the infrastructure in the project area is renovated, the water supply and drainage system will be revamped, with all the sewage discharged into the sewage pipe network. The sewage from reception centers and toilets will go into the newly laid sewage pipe network, and the wastewater will eventually be discharged into the municipal sewage treatment plants. (3) Noise: After the completion of the infrastructure reconstruction project, it is forbidden for vehicles to get into the heritage conservation area except the parking lots. The heritage sites of Confucius and Mencius do not produce noises. The main sources of noises are from management staff and tourists, or local residents. These are non- continuous sound sources. As long as the tourists can visit the place in good manners, noise will not be a big problem. (4) Solid waste: After the renovation project of the cultural heritage, the solid waste will mainly be waste produced by daily life, and a small amount of waste from the festivals and rituals. All the waste will be collected and sent to landfill sites.

this project should be filed by specified agencies and departments. At the same time, the permission of the superior cultural relic management agency and the approvement of local municipal goernment are necessary. The repair and restoration should be completed by the experienced construction agencies whose qualifications have been verified by adminitrative departments. During the construction period of restoration and conservation, the local and mature constructive arts and crafts should be continued and the protected. 5.During the process of demolition of houses, excavation of the roads and laying of the pipes, if anyone found relics, the construction should come to a halt immediately and the specified people should be appointed to protect the site and report to the responsible constructors. Each step should be taken according to the preparatory disposal scheme of the cultural relics. Relevant people should contact the conservation department of cultural relics and the archeological excavation should be carried out smoothly. When it is necessary, the design of the project and the running direction of the pipes should be revised to bypass the cultural relic site of significant archeological value. 6.The protection of the ancient architectural structures themselves adopts reversible techniques and engineering mesures as to their conservation and restoration. It is suggested that the original components

The implementation of the project should focus on promoting Confucianism. The repair and renovation projects should keep the characteristics of ancient architectures. The construction will inevitably cause some impacts on the protected area, so protective measures should be taken to prevent any negative impact on the management staff of the descendants of Confucius and Mencius. After the project, the environment will not receive any further significant impact, and all sources of pollutants will be dealt with, and the environmental quality will be greatly improved. Based on the current situation of the Confucian cultural heritage site, national policy support, and environmental protection, the implementation of this project is necessary and feasible.

For the small amount of wastewater produced by No discharge of the construction of roads and infrastructures, the sewage water Wastewater construction units should set up temporary settling outside the tanks to recycle it, and the sewage should be network discharged into the municipal sewage network through the public toilets along the roads in downtown area. Arbitrary dumping of sewage water and wastewater nearby cultural relics preservation units is strictly prohibited. The construction is so designed that it alters the existing natural terrain as little as possible. Large- scale digging and filling will be avoided. The damage to the surface soil layer will be limited to Ecology the minimum. Project construction will be subject Slightly affected to strict monitoring and damage to the vegetation beyond project planning should be avoided. Planting will be carried out together with the construction, so the land will not be left bare.

From Table 6. 1-1and Table 6.1-2 we can see that the noise, solid wastes and air pollution control measures that will be taken in this project are mature and effective, which meet the basic environmental protection standards. 6.2 Technical demonstration of waste water treatment measures 6.2.1wastewater treatment measures 6.2.1.1 water environment protection during construction period Benefit from construction of sedimentation tanks,industrial wastewater could be recycled after being disposed problely.this part of investment can be brought into the investment of project environmental protection,sanitation and water supply and drainage project,not environmental proteciton investment any more. Construction workers should make use of the original living facilities in scenic zone.the collected wastewater would be drained into urban sewage treatment plant. Construction site should be managed to keep construction yard and the piling surface of earth-rock grading,decreasing the volume of earth-rock be put into the river nearby. Construction materials involving waterway mangement should be forbidden to pile up at the river bank,preventing materials from going into waterbody along with the rainwater.spoils produced by construction shoreside should be cleaned timely to prevent going into the river.construction involving slope protection should be managed and regulated to prevent slag charge going into the river.Rivercourse desilting should be done by labour and the sullage should be piled up together at hollow. 6.2.1.2water environment protection during operation period After the project is constructed and get into operation period,wastewater which come from domestic sewage produced by tourist and workers in scenic zone would be drained to public toilets or disposed by sewage treatment plants constructed by the project,then be totally used for greening,it is forbidden to drain outside.sewage sludge would be drew out to municipal refuse disposal area. 6.2.2 City sewage treatment plant 6.2.2.1 Qufu Qufu Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant is located on the north bank of the Yihe river, east side of the western outer ring road, which covers an area of 15 hectares. Its

The plant adopts the NPRprocess, with the processed water meeting the Level 1-A standards in the “municipal wastewater treatment plant emission standards “(GB18918-2002) . After sewage network is completed in the proposed project area, the additional wastewater discharged into the sewage treatment plant will be 3000m3/d, less than the surplus treatment capacity of said plant. The current capacity of the existing sewage treatment plant can meet the requirements of the project area wastewater treatment needs. 6.2.2.2Zoucheng Zoucheng Sewage Treatment Plant is located at West Ring Road 518 (the southern end of this road) and covers an area of 125mu. Its wastewater treatment capacity is 80,000 m3/d. With a total investment of RMB 155.54 million, the construction of the plant began in 1999, and began to operate on May 18, 2002 after it passed the compliance inspection by the provincial environmental protection departments. This sewage treatment plant adopts the Oberle oxidation ditch process, and has a treatment capacity of 62,500m3/d, with a surplus capacity of 17,500 m3/d. The quality of processed water meets the “municipal wastewater treatment plant emission standards “(GB18918-2002) Level 1-A standards. After sewage network is completed in the proposed project area, the additional wastewater discharged into the sewage treatment plant will be 1500 m3/d, less than the surplus treatment scale of the plant. Current capacity of the existing sewage treatment plant can meet the requirements of the project area wastewater treatment needs. Therefore, Qufu and Zhoucheng’s municipal sewage treatment plants can fully meet the requirements for wastewater treatment for both cities and the project area. The sewage from the project area is mainly domestic wastewater, whose quality will not impact the operation of the sewage treatment plants. 6.2.2.3 Sewage treatment stations As Menglin is not included in sewage disposal systems.The proposed project will construct sewage pipeline network and sewage treatment facilities in view of the necessary to upgrade the overall sanitation level in the project areas. Based on the current local population and the anticipation of its long-term development, the capacity of the wastewater treatment station is designed to be 60m3 /d. The station adopts secondary biological treatment and disinfection treatment processes, and the sewage processed will reach “urban wastewater treatment plant emission standards

The processed water will be reused for greening water. Since the project disposes domestic sewage mainly and its capacity is low.so the treatment technology of biological(A2/O) integration would be adopted to remove organic pollutant and ammonia nitrogen.The process: at A degree step,because of the high concentration of organism and anaerobic microorganisms,organic nitrogen would be decomposed into NH3-N and NO2-NNO3-N into N2 using organic carbon as electron donor,futhermore new cell substances would be composed by organic carbon and NH3-N.So A degree pool would not only have removal function of organism alleviating the organic load of aerobic pool next in favor of nitrification,but also avoid nitrc eutrophication ultimately by high concentration of organism making for denitrification in raw water. At O degree step, although the concentration of organism have decreased substantially,but a certain amount of organism and NH3-N still exist.In order to make the organism oxidate further and nitrification can carry on after carbonization,aerobic microorganism at low organic load would be put into the pool.So there will be aerobic microorganisms and autotrophic organisms(nitrifier),aerobic microorganisms decompose the organism into CO2 and H2O,while the other transform NH3-N into

NO2-N,NO3-N utilizing inorganic carbon decomposed by organism or CO2 in the air as nutrient sources.The water from O degree pool would be back to A degree,it would eliminate nitrogen pollutants by denitrification through affording electron acceptor for A degree pool. Because waste water treatment of biological (A2/O) integration is simple and occupy small area of few buildings,operation management is simple and convenient. It is feasible that sewage treatment of tourist center at Menglin adopt this facilities. 6.3 Technical demonstration of waste gas treatment measures 6.3.1 Basic principles Through the adoption of air pollution control measures, the air pollutants emitted to the environment will meet the volume control requirements and the current emissions standards. After being diluted, the air in the project areas will meet the environmental quality standards. In addition, the measures adopted should be technically feasible and economically sound. 6.3.2 Pollution prevention

Cement should be sealed off in transportation,so as not to be polluted by dust. Liquid asphalt should be bought to avoid the lampblack pollution from boiling and whisking of solid asphalt. Vehicles for transportation should be installed purifier to ensure the tail gas reach the emission standard. Administration of scenic area should maintain the roads clean and keep operation condition good. Greening of the roads should be done to decrease the dust by planting street trees. Concrete should be used,construction should be sealed off.Construction waste should be swing by airtight package,throwing is forbidden. Surrounding facilities should be built at the piling area of earth and stone and construction materials(such as cement and stones). Vehicles which transport earth and stone and construction waste should be enveloped to get out. 6.3.2.2 Operation period The control of air pollutants in the project areas mainly depends on source control, which can eliminate the production of atmospheric pollutants from the very beginning. The four main measures taken are: (1) Heating in the project areas mainly comes from the thermo-power plant, without air pollutants being produced. (2) Fuel used by the project is mainly liquefied petroleum gas, which is clean fuel with low emissions. (3) With strengthened supervision and restrictions on vehicle’s access to the protected cultural heritage areas, vehicle emissions will be reduced to minimum. (4) The means of transport in the project areas are mainly electromobile, which does not generate exhaust gas. (5) Surrounding Green should be enhanced at parking lot and utility area, impact of air pollution to environmen would be decreased by barrier and absorption of vegetation. (6)Lampblack from restaurants should be disposed by purifier,then discharged throgh tunnel at housetop.

To the field occupied by construction temparily, cultivated mellow soil on the surface which have been put aside should be leveled again to recovering the original surface,when complete construction.A revegetation plan should be made to the bed mud piled up,if greening the mud in time,it not only prevent water and soil erosion by winds and rains,but also in favor of vegetation growth,environment protection and avoiding riverway silting-up.Revegetation and greening investment could be put into this investment of environment greening project,not necessary to line alone. During the construction,publicity and education of ecological protection to construction workers and local residents should be intensified,so that it can alleviate the affect of construction to land animals and plants through forbiding construction workers to kill animals.The investment of ecological conservation publicity and education could be put into this environment protection training of environmental management plan,not necessary to line alone. Disposal of construction field should be adjusted and optimized timely according to the surrounding protected area during construction period,so that construction field could be disposed compactly and reasonably to apart from residential areas and ecological sensitive regions. According the different conditions of construction,we should use advanced technology and methods to controll or reduce the affects and destroy to the landscape and local vegetation caused by excavation works during construction period. The original forest landscape and rural tourism should be protected as well as possible in contruction area,and the architectural style of facilities should be in accordance with local natural landscape.The linear projects should be designed from aesthetic aspect to keep its linearity beautifully and naturally,under its design criterion

To sum up,ecological mitigation measures including engineering prevention, vegetation restoration and off-site ecological compensation are taken in the project areas. Timely restoration and compensation will be conducted during construction and operation periods.Eco-environment management will be implemented upon completion of the project. Trees, shrubs and hedges will be coordinated in the project areas to optimize ecosystem structure, enhance its ecosystem services and ecological effects, while adopting vegetation restoration to compensate for those destroyed and control invasive alien organisms. These are conventional measures in terms of construction techniques, which require the construction units to give adequate attention, seriously implement them and strengthen management. It is feasible to fully achieve ecological protection purposes. 6.6 Technical demonstration of noise pollution control measures 6.6.1 basic principles Noise management in the project areas depends on source control. Effective noise insulation, elimination, and sound absorption and other measures should be taken for the noises that are unable to be controlled from source. 6. 6.2 Construction period Construction should be arranged reasonably to avoid working at night. Construction that has to be done at night should be noticed to surrounding residents the allotted time of construction at night,and invite residents to supervise and forgive. Noise pollution should be decreased by reducing runtime of equipments together in construction,and vehicles in and out should be forbidden to honk. Equipments of low noise or with arrester and muffer should be choosen as far as possible. Vehicles in and out shoud be limited speed,maintenance of the equipments and transport vehicles should be enhanced.

6.6.3 Noises Protection During Operation Vibration reduction and isolation is the main management of noises which produced by water pump of polluted water disposal station.To the noises produced by traffics,high velocity and sound was limitted.Green belts of ecological benefits

6.7 Social Environment According to removal and settling policy and compensation of local and national government, the villagers whose lands were expropriated and houses were removed should be given reasonable compensation and relocation,while the work should be carried through by listenning the emigrations’ attitude,so that emigrations’ work and life conditions should not be lower than level of existence,their housing area should be enlarged and communal facilities completed. Managers and builders should be educated and culitivated to their consciousness of cultural relic protection,then they would inform the local cultural relic protection agency at once,atfer finding the hide of historic landmarks and sites or ancient tombs,after that they would continue the work disposed by agency appropriately. Capacity of tourist at rush hour should be limitted reasonably, we should develop local tourism and boost social economy,at the same time don’t destroy the cultural heritage and natural heritagewe should make use of local cultural heritage and natural heritage reasonably,sustainably and protectively. Tourists and residents should be educated to intensifing their consciousness of cultural relic protection.behavior of throwing rubbish at will and destroying local cultural heritage and natural heritage is forbidden. 6.8 Overall assessment Relatively thorough environment mitigation measures will be taken for the proposed project areas, and sewage will be discharged from the proposed project sewage treatment plant (station) after satisfying relevant standards; central heating will replace small coal-fired boilers in the region; noise control and solid wastes treatment measures are practical, effective and economical. The overall environmental protection technologies are economically sound and technically feasible.

7. Analysis on Alternatives Analysis of Alternatives is made from three levels: the first is the with and without option analysis, and the second is the comparison of different locations of the project, the third is the comparison of technical option of different environmental mitigation measures. 7.1 with and without option Analysis Option I: The Option of Shandong Provincial Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage Site Preservation and Development Project. Option II: No project option, which is a zero option.

In road transport operation, it could produce noise and atmospheric pollutants, which creates certain impact to the peripheral environment. (3) During operation of the project, it can bring up some problems of tourists: the tourists may produce some impact on the local culture to some extent, so that the local culture tends to commercialization; the inappropriate behavior of tourists could generate some impact on regional cultural heritage resources, and even course some damage; At the same time, the increased visitors will have produce a series of environmental problems, and pose a threat to regional environmental carrying capacity.

Continue 7.1-1 The implementation of this project can promote Shandong cultural heritage protection and the work of poverty alleviation and rapid development of tourism with the help of World Bank concept, so as to create a new image and positive influence of Shandong in the World. As for some short term disadvantages cropped up in the process of the implementation of the project, Comparison it can be avoided or mitigated through the implementation of environmental management plans. Therefore, it is recommended using the Option I. After adopting the second option, though it will not produce the adverse environmental impacts owing to the project construction, but the relatively backward infrastructure in the long run could still be not improved, which is not helpful in the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and is not conducive to local economic development and the improvement of living standards, so it is not recommended the Option II As it can be seen from the above Table: although the implementation of this project in the project construction and operation will produce some environmental impacts, but these impacts are limited in terms of time or space. These impacts can be eliminated or minimized through taking various measures, thus it will not cause adverse effects to the regional environment in a large-scale. From long run, the construction of this project could change in the project area the status of tourism, improve the quality of life of local residents and promote the sustainable development of tourism industry in Shandong Province as a whole. It is also in line with the aspiration of majority of the public. Therefore, this assessment holds that the construction of this project is positive and effective. 7.2 Comparison and Selection of Project Site

Then, it has recommended a most scientific and rational site-location option from among various options. For instance, the construction site of Garbage Collection Station at Mencius Cemetery and Xishantou Village: The Option I: The site of the Option I will be located at the west side of Xishantou Village under the slope of Mencius Cemetery. According to the historic record, Xishantou Village is an ancient village, which was formed by the graveyard keepers, the descendants of Mencius. So it has a very special interdependence with the Mencius Cemetery, and will be jointly developed and rehabilitated to some extent in the project. The foundation of the selected project site is in good conditions, just located at mid area between Mencius Cemetery and Xishantou Village. After completion of the project construction, it will be easy to collect garbage and transport them in a short distance. So, it will produce minor impact on the surrounding environment during the construction and operation periods. Option II: The site of Option II is located within Mencius Cemetery. This option is located on low mountain slopes, and need to fell some trees, thus will lead to destruction of vegetation, biomass reduction, and likely to cause water and soil erosion during the project construction period and upon completion. In addition, the project area is a bit far from the Xishantou Village, and the transport distance is longer, not easy for garbage collection and transport; Since Mencius Cemetery is the national cultural heritage site, and the project supposed to be constructed here will inevitably generate certain impact on the environment and cultural relics conservation, and in particular, it will provide relatively bigger impact on the surrounding environment during the construction and operation periods. Comparison Conclusion: From an environmental protection point of view, it is recommended adopting Option I. 7.3 Comparison and Selection of Technical Solutions of Different Environmental Mitigation measures 7.3.1 Drainage

Option I: The Intercepting Form and Combined Diversion System Due to the large investment in transforming the Combined Diversion System into the Separation Effluent System and the difficulty of construction, it is not easy to realize in a short time. That is why the current reform of old combined system will often adopt the Intercepting Form and Combined Diversion System. For this option, it will use the existing pipeline network system to determine the interception ratio properly according to river water quality requirements and local economic conditions. Then, the intercepting trunk pipes for sewage emission will be laid along the riverside. The sewage will be all intercepted and sent to the Sewage Treatment Plant on sunny days, while a part of sewage and rainwater of early period on rainy days will be collected and sent to the Sewage Treatment Plant, and the rest of sewage and rainwater will overflow into the water body of the river. The main advantage of this option: (1) It has less engineering works of construction and investment, and can achieve significant environmental benefit in a relatively short time; (2) It can fully use self-purification capacity of natural water body and has relatively obvious advantage in the area of economically underdeveloped and less demanding river water quality. The main drawback of this option: (1) The Intercepting Form and Combined Diversion System can not eliminate the pollution of water body, and will generate relatively a greater negative impact on the water quality on the lower reaches of the river. (2) While designing the sewage intercepting trunk pipes, it must consider the appropriate interception ratio, thus it inevitably increase the diameter of intercepting trunk pipes and depth of pipes laying underground, and lead to a increased investment in trunk pipes. On the other hand, it results in the radical fluctuation of quality and quantity of the water entering into the Sewage Treatment Plant, thus it will bring the larger impact load on the normal operation and management of the Sewage Treatment Plant. The Option II: System Separating Rainwater from Sewage

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ6FLHQFHÃ5HVHDUFKÃÉÃ'HVLJQÃ,QVWLWXWHÃRIÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃÃ Ã (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRQÃ8WLOL]LQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃIRUÃ3URWHFWLRQÃRIÃ&RQIXFLXVÃDQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÂ This Option is of a more thorough transformation method. It can conduct a thorough transformation on the existing combined pipeline network system in the urban area, and realize the system separating rainwater from sewage. All the sewage pipes will be laid again, and the existing system of combined diversion pipeline will be used for rainwater drainage. The advantage of System Separating Rainwater from Sewage: (1) It can completely eliminate the pollution of mixed sewage overflow to the water body, thus has positive role to guarantee quality of the water body. (2) It will have less change in sewage quantity following the change of seasons, thus it is conducive to the operation and management of the Sewage Treatment Plant. The main drawback of System Separating Rainwater from Sewage: (1) It has large investment, and relatively large amount of engineering works for re-laying sewage pipeline throughout the urban area. (2) Since the streets of old urban area is narrow, with a lot of underground pipelines and very busy traffic, it is much more difficult to carry out the construction work. Option Selection: Based on the above analysis, and in view of a long-term urban development, it will be more suitable to adopt the System Separating Rainwater from Sewage, which will be also conducive to the management of Sewage Treatment Plant. It can ensure good water quality, while being more advantageous for the protection of cultural heritage. So, from an environmental protection point of view, it is recommended adopting Option II. 7.3.2 Water Diversion from River Course For the engineering works of diverting water to the water systems of Gupan Pond and Yinli River, it mainly has two options: upstream diversion and downstream diversion. Option I: Upstream Diversion Option This option is a relatively more thorough transformation method, which intends to link the water system within the unban area with the upstream water body, through the dam already built, so as to make the water system into a integrated one. Under the preconditions of reasonable distribution of local water resources, it will adopt the way with water flowing from water source by gravity, thus diverting water from upstream of the river into the proposed landscaping river course.

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ6FLHQFHÃ5HVHDUFKÃÉÃ'HVLJQÃ,QVWLWXWHÃRIÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃÃ Ã (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRQÃ8WLOL]LQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃIRUÃ3URWHFWLRQÃRIÃ&RQIXFLXVÃDQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÂ The main advantage of the option: (1)After getting the river course through, it will make a fundamental change of local water environment throughout the region. Many individual river courses will be formed into one dynamic flowing water system, thus giving an important driving force to the improvement of local environment; (2)After completing the designed water diversion project, it could utilize the slope of river course to replenish water by gravity, without relying on pumps and other external assistance, thus reducing the operating costs. The main drawbacks of the option: (1) It is relatively large in the quantity of engineering works, with both time-consuming design and construction, and higher costs. (2) The project involves wide area and may lead to demolition of buildings and a series of social problems. Option II: Downstream Diversion Option It does not need to get the water system through, but adopt a direct use of pumps as the external force to divert the water from downstream river course into the landscaping river course. The advantage of this option: (1)The quantity of engineering works is relatively small, with simpler design, smaller construction works, and easy operation. (2)The project involves smaller scope of construction, and it can effectively avoid the demolition work. The disadvantage of the option: (1) Since it is located at downstream of the landscape water body, it can not adopt the way of gravity diversion, and has excessive operating costs as well; (2) It plays a smaller role in improving the environment of the local water body. Option Selection: Based on the above analysis, and in view of long-term urban development, it is more appropriate to have upstream water diversion, since it will be more advantageous for the protection of cultural heritage sites. From the angle of environmental protection, it is recommended adopting Option I. 7.3.3 Pipeline Network Laying Option Geographically, Zoucheng City is high in the east, and low in the west, thus the Yinli River flows from northeast to southwest through urban area. According to the natural geographical conditions and combined with the road layout along the two

(QYLURQPHQWDOÃ6FLHQFHÃ5HVHDUFKÃÉÃ'HVLJQÃ,QVWLWXWHÃRIÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÃÃ Ã (QYLURQPHQWDOÃ,PSDFWÃ5HSRUWÃRQÃ8WLOL]LQJÃ:RUOGÃ%DQNÃ/RDQVÃIRUÃ3URWHFWLRQÃRIÃ&RQIXFLXVÃDQGÃ 0HQFLXVÃ&XOWXUDOÃ+HULWDJHÃ6LWHVÃLQÃ6KDQGRQJÃ3URYLQFHÂ sides of Yinli River, it has put forward the two main options: The first option is to lay sewage trunk pipes along the river channel on the right side of Yinli River course; The second option is to lay sewage trunk pipes on both sides of road. Option I: Two Trunk Pipelines Option It will utilize the river course to divide the whole drainage area into two parts consisting of right-bank part and left-bank part. Then, it will lay a trunk pipeline along the bank on both sides of the river respectively, so as to establish the two separate sewerage systems, collecting sewage from each side of the river respectively. Therefore, it has to set up inverted siphons at downstream section of the river, through which it will divert the sewage from left side of the bank to the right side of the bank, so as to converge the water of both banks into the pipe network of urban centralized Sewage Treatment Plant. Option II: Single Trunk Pipeline Option It will lay sewage trunk pipes on the right side of the bank, so as to intercept the sewage on right bank and discharge; It will not construct consistent trunk pipeline on the left bank of the river, but divide the left bank area into several drainage areas. After collecting the sewage from different drainage areas, it will be converged into the trunk pipes on the right bank through the inverted siphons, thus bring about common effluent discharge from both banks. Both scenarios have to have trunk pipelines laid on the right bank of the river. The difference between the two options is mainly the way of sewage collection and emission on the left bank. The comparison of the two options is detailed in Table 7.3-1.

Road, when the pipelines are being laid underground. It can lay pipelines on right There is almost no construction bank by using the existing Construction space on the left bank and it is also roads, with convenient Conditions very difficult in construction work. construction conditions and easy institutional coordination. There are few runoffs in some areas on the left bank of the river course, with small amount of sewage (such as the It will lay double pipelines, with section from Dahuxi Street to long pipeline length, heavy the Opera Troop, and the maintenance work; It will have section from Yishan Road to Management pipelines on both sides of the river the Dongmenli Street). It will Maintenance for easy access to the sewage not lay pipeline according to pipeline network, with widely the design, but adopting the coverage area of pipeline network way of strengthening and lighter management burden. management, and other forms of guidance to avoid the sewage from flowing into the river. Thus, it has heavier administrative burden. The project cost is about 7.10 The project cost is about 5.63 Project Cost million Yuan RMB million Yuan RMB.

The site survey results show that there are relatively more roads built and planned to be built on the right bank of river course, with less buildings along the riverside, thus convenient in construction conditions. On the other hand, the laid pipeline has been arranged on the right bank of the river course, and some of its pipe channels can be used; there are many buildings located at left side of the bank, with many sewage pipes outlets of the residential buildings built by the residents themselves, with small amount of sewage water, and lack of concentration. Summing up the above technical and economic comparison of the conditions, and combined with the planed development orientation of the urban and river course, it can be compared to see that the Option II is better than the Option I. Therefore, it is recommended adopting the Option II in this design. 7.3.4 River Course Sludge Disposal Options 7.3.4.1 The Final Disposal Option of Sediment Sludge There are 4 main methods for sludge disposal: landfill, dumping to the sea, incineration and land use. Among current main methods for the total amount of sludge

Such an information disclosure of environmental impact assessment and public participation is designed to enable local residents to get a timely, accurate understanding of the significance of the project, and the positive and negative as well as the direct and indirect influences that the project brings them. Meanwhile, it also helps to know the residents’ attitudes towards the project and their major concerns, on the basis of which a joint effort can be made to find solutions to the problem for the sake of the public. This will contribute to the completeness and justice of the assessment, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of the project and avoiding pollution disputes in construction and operation. 9.2 Getting involved Public participation was adopted by questionnaire,syposium and discussion meeting etc,administrators of correlative departments in Qufu and Zoucheng and residents of subproject construction regions were surveyed at 2010.3.5-3.20,2010.6.10- 6.20,2010.8.24-8.30,2010.9.14-8.18 respectively. 9.3 Public consultation With a view to directlyhearing public opinions and collecting advisable proposals, the EIA department conducted a public consultation in all the project- affected areas, (especially the immigrant regions). Two kinds of consultation methods were adopted, that is, questionnaire surveys (designed for both individual and group) and symposiums.Besides, the findings of public survey conducted by Shandong Institute of Construction and Development in its “Environmental Impact Report of the World Bank Loan Protection Projects in Confucius and Mencius Cultural Heritage Sites in Shandong Province” (hereinafter referred to as EIA) to enrich the contents of this public survey.Futhermore,public consultation was made to the adjust project regions by EA agency during subproject adjustment priod,and the public opinions and suggestions to affected project area would be gotten to know timely in favor of developing and improving of construction successfully. 9.3.1 Questionnaire survey 1. Individual interview

Finally, the survey results were gathered together and summarized and then sent back to the construction departments and design units that would take into consideration the suggestions and try to properly settle the problems in design and construction. During the interview, the local residents were first invited to a symposium, and then a questionnaire was handed out to each of them directly. Detailed explanation was available if any villagers turned out to be unclear about items in the questionnaire. Eventually, they were allowed to fill in the questionnaire in person.

The survey of 2010.03.05-2010.03.20 covers an area involving historic walled city of Qufu and its suburbs, as well as the ancient town of Zoucheng. 200 copies of individual questionnaires were issued and 196 copies of valid questionnaires were taken back. The findings of the survey are as follows:

(1)Most of the respondents support the project and hold that the project will benefit both the individuals and social development in the area. This suggests that the public proceed from long-term interests when considering the project and their social consciousness is improving. (2)A part of the respondents hold that the project will produce waste gas,water,noises and soild waste to affect local historic protection harmfully during construction and also bring adverse impact to local water, air, and acoustic environment. This indicates that the public worry about the influences that the project would bring to the historic protection and quality of local environment. (3) Because the project would affect their land and housing involving personal interest directly, residents surveyed are concerned about removal and setting problems mostly and worry that their habitation and quality of life would be affected after relocation.

The main answers are:About waste emission produced by the project during construction and operation period,historic protection and environment protection measures brought forward by EA agency have be putted into practice to each construction unit, and supervise agency was demanded to manage strictly to ensure historical relic and environment be protected.While,to the removal and setting problems concerned mostly by public during construction,the project office have given a detailed plan, corresponding measures would be adopted to this problem,such as,decreasing removal and environmental pollution as much as possible,ensuring the removal residents to get reasonable compensation,informing all kinds of rights and choises to the residents affected by the project,meanwhile, the rights of disvantaged group and women and children shoud be concerned.Complaining channel and approach was also provided to encourage public participation and supervisory in favor of eliminating residents’ doubt to removal policy. 2. Group survey We visited relevant responsible bodies and administrative organizations in the project-affected areas, such as local governments (including county-level, city-level and district level), environmental protection agencies, travel bureaus, cultural relic bureaus, water resources bureaus, planning bureaus and other bureaus and departments. Representatives from all the relevant departments listened carefully to our lecture on the basic information of the project, aired their own ideas and suggestions, and filled the questionnaire in earnest. The survey shows that the respondents all take affirmative attitude towards the project, and agree that this project will upgrade the status of the city, carry forward traditional culture, elevate the public’s moral level and strengthen the national self-confidence and cohesion of Chinese around the world. Meanwhile, the respondents also hope that not only an appropriate, feasible and effective heritage preservation option should be adopted during the construction, but effective measures should also be taken to reduce adverse influences on the environment. Some departments insist that the construction should be in accordance with national laws and regulations and be carried out under the guidance of master plan of Qufu and Zoucheng or the plans for construction and conservation.
