VIII.Public Participation I 1. Project Background Beijing - Shenzhen Highway is an important north to south passageway Of higlhwaytransportation, it is also one of the National Truik Highway System planned by Ministry of Communications. Shijiazhuang-Anyanu Expressway (SAE) transverses the mid-south part of Hebei Province wh1icl is 216.05 km with a total investment 3686 million yuan. The intercoinecting roads to SAE are the auxiliary works which fonn the whole project. In order to bing the economic radication functions of SAE into full play and to incorporate the interconlecting roads with provincial l-ighwav net works, these roads are proposed on the basis of consultations witlh the local governments by Hebei Provincial Communications Department (HPOD).
Entrusted by HPCD in Julv 1991, Highway Scientific Rsesarech Institute of Ministry of Communications was asked to carry out environ ment asessment work for SAE and to prepare EIA for the project. In May 1992 the EnvironmenitProtection Office of MOC carried out appraisal for the project environment Terms of Reference (TOR) On June 9,1992 National EnivironumentProtection Agency (NEPA) held appraisal meeting in Shijiazhiuangfor the project enviromnent TOR. On June 25, 1992 commenitsfor the TOR were given by issuance of the Document No.084 (1992).
Based on the approved TOR, the entrusted agency has carried out environment work and prepared ETAfor the project. This work had lasted for 19 months. In March 1993, the EIA was reviewed and approved by Enviromnent protection Office of MOC and NEPA. Besides the EIA and the Summarv of Environment Assessment, Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and EnviroinmenitAction Plan (EAP) had also been prepared. In addition, trainin1gcourses in regard of environment protection had been included in the training program, and complete survey report for the cultural relocs had been attached.
Highway Scientific Research Institute of MOC which undertakes the environment impact asessment of the interconnecting roads, with the help of Hebei Provincial Communications Planning and Design Istitute and local governments at each level, camred out surveys and in vestigations for the interconnecting roads. Relevant environment data have been collected, and many feasibility study meetings have been attended. Based onithses data anidmaterials, the present ETAof the interconnecting roads has been prepared.

It is planned to start the work in 1997 and complete in 1998 at the same time with Slhi-An Expressway . The construction period is one year.
1.5 Analysis of major environment impact factors
Generally, highway constructions will inevitably cause adverse impacts to natLral environment and social environmentalong the route duniniz design , construction and operation periods . Considering the characteristics of the interconnecting roads and the status quo of the environment , the major impacts to the environment along the route caused by the works are:
Design Period: Demolition , Resettlement , the status quo of the land resources have been changed; Construction Penrod: The natural environment along the route has been changed by the works , farm lands and orchards have been acquired xvith the impacts of construction noise and dust pollution; Operational Period: Vehicle exhaust gases and traffic noise compose of one of the important factors of pollution to environment sensitive targets along the route .
2. Environment Status Quo and Evaluation
2.1 Natural environment
Linzhang county is located at mountainous alluvial fanning plain
9 which is caused by ancient Yellow River with the Land fonn gradually descending from west to east . The altitude is from 58 to 95 m . This area enjoys a temperate conitinental monsoon climate . The average annual temperature is 13.2°C . Temperatures can range from -21.80C in the winter to as much as 41.9°C in the summer . The average annual precipitation is 565.7 mm which is concentrated in July and August . The earth types along the route consist of humid loam , river brown earth and humid clav .
2.2 Social Environment Status Quo and Evaluation
Located in the far most south part of Hebei Province , Linzhang county borders oniHenan Province in the south which is under the jurisdiction of Handan City . The total area is 749.9 km2 , of which cultivated lands amount to 750,000 mu . There are 14 towns and 425 villages witlh a total population 541676 . Being the state level grain and cotton production base, Linzhang county was listed into state grain production county in 1994 -which was approved by the State Council and in 1995 it was listed as cotton production county by the State Council . The industries in the county as coal , electric power, garment processing , building materials, machinery, chemical industry etc. have been initially set up . In 1995 GNP of Linzhang county reached 721 million RMB (as the year 1990 constant price ) which is 91% of the year 1990 with an average annual growth rate 13.8% . It is planned by the year 2000 GNP will reach 1.56 billion RUB with an average annual growth rate of 16.7% . On the basis of overall realization of the " Ninth Five Year Plan ", by the year 2010 GNP will reach 5.78 billion RMB which maintains a growth rate of 14%.
2.3 Acoustic Environment Status Quo and Evaluation
Cixian interchange-Linzhang interconnecting road traverses Huangxinzhuang , Nandong fang and Fangbiao villages in Linzhang county with a total length 15.2 km . On the basis of highway characteristics and environment terrain and climate , three monitoring points have been set up, namely at Huang Xinzhuang ,Nandongfang and Fangbiao for environment noise background monitoring . The monitoring results are as follows:
Name Day dB(A) Night dB(A) Huangxinzhuang 43.3 40.3 Nandongfang 45.5 41.5 Fangbiao 47.6 42.6 10 The above monitorimn data show that acoustic environmenitalon- tihe route is good without disturbing industrial noise'here sources . is a cerrain acoustic capacity along the route.
2.4 Atmospheric enviromnent Status Quo and Evaluation
The proposed interconniectingroad is far from the down town of cities aild towns . Along the route there are mainly resident villages and large areas of farm lands . Since that there are no industries and mines , industrial pollutioni sources do not exist . Withiinthe range of 200 m at the both sides of the route three atmospheric environmenitmonitoring points have been set up (the same as the acoustic environlmentsensitive poilnts). The monitoring results are:
Name CO average value NO, average value in five days l IHuanrgxinzhuang 1.20 mg /m3 0.025 mg /m' Nandon.gfang 1.10 mg /m3 0.020 mg /m3 Fangbiao 1.30 mg /m3 0.034 mg
The above results for CO and NO, show the concentration values are in accordance with grade II atmospheric enviromnent quality standard which have rather great atmospheric environment capacity .
3. Environment Impact Prediction and Evaluation
3.1 Natural envirolunent impact analysis
The proposed main line has taken into account of main river flood discharging capacity . Though some sections have no obvious river beds, large and medium bridges have been set up . The locations of meditun anid small bridges , and culverts are corresponding to those of railway so as guarantee the smooth flow of flood in rainy season . Therefore interconnecting road has little impact to flood control of this area . The agnrculture along the rout is rather developed which is important grain and cotton production base . Pumping underground water is of the main method for farm land irrigation The construction of the interconnecting road will acquire some motor-pumped wells and will cut off some irrigation chamnels. Therefore , in cases of acquisition and cut-off of wells compensation measures shall be taklen to ensure that there will be wells at the both sides of the road in order to solve the problem of irrigations . Irrigation culverts shall not be generally constructed on the road 11 subgrade , however, at some sections irrigation has been done by main or sub irrigation channel leading to the rivers . Therefore , at these sections culverts shall be constructed on the basis of the existing chanlel layouts to secure . water passing or pedestrian passing . If the above measures cani be executed , the existing irrigation layout can be maintained which will take care of farming to the greatest extent.
3.2 Social Environment Impact Evaluation
After the completion of the interconnecting road , a series of production strips will be formed , especially great influence will be brought to social economic development , production structures as well as composite proportion of social workers of the direct influenced areas along the route.
(1) As the implementation of overall planning of cities and towns and after the completion of the project the transport conditions will be greatly improved . The industrial layouts will gradually be moved towards the outskirts and will be spread out along the interconnecting road;
^(2) The completion of the project will promote the construction of development zones along the route which will push the integrated utilization of lands and resources so as to lead to rational industrial layouts .
(3) The road will indirectly cause the demanding needs for telepost communications, electric power supplies which result in the development of these industries . And at the same time will promote the development of culture, education , medical cares etc.
(4) Land acquisition and reallocation The Total lands acquired for interconnectioning roads amotunt to 394.78 mu,of which cultivated lands 234.58 mu, demolished houses 6712m2 which are all village houses. In order to minimize affected people the alignment makes full use of existing roads so as to avoid large areas of demolition offices have been set up at each level in the highway construction sectors and detailed resettlement plans have been made for this project.
Due to the great social and economic benefits brought by the completion of the project, the special land values of highway acquisition shall be realized,. Since that new industrial production enterprises will be formed in the highway corridor after the completion of the project , the adjacent lands prices will be doubled, and the lands will be turned from cultivated farms to non-cultivated lands. In order to avoid the rapid loss of
12 cultivated lands resources it is recommended that the land mana-emenT departmenitsmust enhance the approval of various construction land uses.
3.3 Acoustic Enviromnent Impact Predication and Analysis
3.3.1 Acoustic enviroinmelntimpact during construction
During construction period the noise is mainly comin'ugfrom construction machinery's and transport vehicles . According to local surveys , the road construction machineries are : bulldozer , excavator. roller etc . The following table shows the noise testing level of some of the construction maclineries at different distances:
Noise Values of Some of Construction Machineries At Different Distances Table2-3 Unit:dB (A) ontoringlocations (m) \1.0 2.0 5.0 100

The construction noise pollution will directly affect the health and normal rests of workers and inhabitants at the sensitive targets and even will disturb their work . However, the noise is short term pollution . In order to mitigate the construction noise , effective. management and protection measures can be taken . From the analogue monitoring data it can be seen that acoustic environment beyond I O rn will have small influence .
3.3.2 Acoustic environment influence prediction and analysis during, operation periods
(1) Prediction computation model The traffic equivalent noise levels depend on the vehicle radiation noise level, driving speed, traffic volumes , vehicle type composite proportions, 13 pavement evenness and meteorological conditions On the basis of international and domestic studies on traffic noise predictions and incorporation of the project characteristics , the pxediction of the computationmodel is:

.Is5 3.4 Atmospheric Environment Impact Prediction and Evaluation
3.4.1 Environment impact analysis during construction period
Dusts constitute the major atmospheric pollution during construction period , therefore , the evaluation factor is determined as TSP . During construction whether lime soil mixing is on the site or at the plant , TSP pollution will be inevitably caused to environment along the route . hi 1990 TSP monitoring was carried out for both on the site mixing and plant mixing of on going Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway . The results are shown in table 2-7.
Tsp MonitoringResults During ConstructionPeriod of BTT Expressway Table:2-7 MonitoringPlace Type of Wind Speed Sampling Monitoring construction point results(mg/m') distance (m/s) (m) 1# 2# At the side of Yang 50 0.389 village Zhenglou Road Mixing 0.9 100 - Interchange ramp I_150 0.271 Yang village Zhenglou 50 9.078 8.849 Interchange Mixing Plant Plant Mixing 1.9 100 1.599 1.703 .______. . . . :; . 150 1.130 0.483
From the above monitored analogue material it shows that the characteristics of on the site mixing is that the pollution will be broughitto wherever the construction starts , but the influenced scope of areas are narrow and temporary , and TSP contents in atmosphere at 50 m from the roadsides can meet class II standard (The limited TSP average daily concentration is 0.30 mg/m3, any time 1.00 mg/m3). If plant mixing is adopted , the TSP concentration at from the mixing plant on the leeward is 8.90 mg/m3 which 8 times surpass the standard , but there are no influences at 150 m from the mixing plant. As for the somke form bitumine emulsion, it is tested that Class I standard can be met at 100 m away on the leeward (the average density of emission allowed in 8 hour is less than 150 mg/Nm3). 3.4.2 Environment impact prediction during operation period
After the interconnecting road has been completed the major impacts to environment during operation period are emitted pollutants in the exhausted
16 vehicle gases . The prediction factors are CO, NO,, prediction year limits are 2000 , 2010 and 2017 . And the pollution at the both sides of the road is concentrated in day time with big traffic volumes . The rate of occurrin- E and F type stability in daytime is small . Therefore, the prediction is only carred out on the computations of D tvpe (medium).

It is planned to commenice in 1997 and to complete in the year 1998 which is at the same time with Shi - An1Expressway . The construction period-is one year.
2. Environment Status Quo and Evaluation
2.1 Natural environment
Being located in the south part of Hebei Province with altitude 6()m -T_ m , the proposed highway enjoys moderate continental mason climate whiIcii is hot and rainy in summer and dry and cold in winter and in spring alnd autumn it is mild. The average annual temperature is 12.7°C . Temperatures can range from -12.7°C in-the winter to as much as 42°C in the summer The average annual precipitation is 519 mm which is mainly conisentratted in summer . The wind changes with seasons obviously with north anlol northwest winds in winter and southwest and southeast winds in summer. The average annual wind speed is around 2 m/s , and the earthqliqUic intensity of this area is 7 . The specific alignment of the interconnecting road is located in rnc
39 south east part of Xfnlgtaicity wlhich is 10 kn far from the city wvithflat terrain . It goes throuQlgvast fann lands wlhich avoids inhabitalntdistricts as well as each environment sensitive points . There are no large rivers and rare animals in this districts.
2.2 Social Environment
Being located in the soutlhpart of Hebei province and the eastem foot of Taihang Mountain, Xingtai city is an ancient cultural city with old historv . Total urban construction area is 132 m- . In 1994 the total population of the city amounts to 449000 . At present , Xingtai city has developed into a new industrial city wvith heavy industries as mainstay such as energy , metallurgy , machiner7 textile . Agricultural areas are in the outskirts with main products as grain vegetable and dry and fresh fruit etc. In 1994 GNP reached 2.12 billion RMB , average GNP per capita amounted to 4722 RUB which was higher thaniaverage provincial level . Xingtai city enjoys advantageous geographical condition in the regard of traffic transportation . National highway 107 traverses Xingtai city from North to Soutlh, and .trunk highways such as Xingde , Xinghe, Xinglin . Xingzuo and Xingxi are taking Xingtai as the centre and radiate to outside direction . Beijing - Guangdong railway goes through the west part of Xingtai city.
2.3 Acoustic environment and Atmospheric Environment
The proposed intercoinecting road goes through the agricultural districts Ui the southeast part of Xingtai city . The acoustic environment quality is shown in table 4-3 , and the atmospheric environment quality is shown in table 4-4.

3. Enviroiunent 1inpact Prediction and Evaluation
3.1 National EnvironimentImpact Analvsis The impact to natural environment by construction of the intercoiunectillnT road are mainly shown in two aspects: farm land acquisition and loss of water and erosion of soil . Highway constructioni will have to acquire some lands and make a corridor on the flat and spacious lands . The contractors whose land have been occupied will certainly have some losses in economy , however through the land adjustnent by the govenmmentor arrangement of jobs for these contractors , they will be compensated or even their lives will be improved . The agricultural production losses due to land acquisitions are small comparative to the whole districts because of the short highway mileage (only 11.4 ln ) , however, the great development which has been brouglt to this districts by the construction of highway are immeasurable . The interconnecting road is located in plain areas with silt clay soil . The earth work will amount to 2857 m3 . Therefore, attentions shall be given to minimizing the loss of water and erosion of soil during constructioni . If the construction period is allowed, construction in July and August whiclh are concentrated with rainfalls shall be avoided . At the same time , the borrow pits and waste area shall be covered , and after the construction is over the site shall be returned for cultivation in order to avoid soil erosion .
3.2 Social Environment Impact Analysis (1) There are two districts and seventeen counties (cities ) iunderthe
441 jurisdiction of Xingtai city wvhichis the centre of politics , economy and culture . The constructioniof the proposed road will make a solution to the exist problem of Xingtai city. Which will make a good traffic foiundationfor future development and will also make a good promotion for outbotund economic development anid the strategy of cooperation in the east and development in the west. The construction of the hlighwaywill also mititate the urban area entrance traffic congestion and the velhicleswhich will go on Slii-An Expressway will no longierpass through the urban areas . And the traffic flows of the south industrial districts of Xingtai city will be diverted .
(2) Land acquisition and reallocation The total lands acquired for this project amount to 565 mu,of which cultivated lands 471.5 mu and demolished houses 420m2, therefore, the numbers of acquired lanidsand demolished houses are small. The lives of the affected farmers will not be in fluenced to great extent under the overall arrangements by the constraction departenets.

2. 1 Curienit Statiusof Natur-alEnvir-onimenit:
Thie project area is located at the north of Xingtai City and the east ol' Taihang Mountain Mountainiousarea, rolliiig terrain and plain accounit seperately for 42%, 30% and 28% of the county's total area. Neiqiu Counly belongs to continenital climate of temperate zone . The soil resotiu-ce. basically clay i naiture,is abundant along the alignment.
Agricultire is dominant along the project area with some deci(dtiotis broadleaf trees scattered over the vast plain. Rare aniimalsand plants llavc not beenifound in this area.
2.2 Current Status and Analysis of Social Environiment
Neiqiu Counity,where the project is located, lias an area of 775 sq.klm in whichi, 276,000 mui is cultivated land, The total poptilation s 250,0(0) in 1995, 2 10,200 of wilichi is agricultural populationi, and 39,800 is non11- agricultural. Coal mining and chemical fertilizer are the main induistries. Sorghum, sweet potato and whieat accouLit for lhalf of the growing area. Cotton is the major cash crop. On the basis of agricultural developimient forestry, animal husbandly and side occupation are also greatly encouraged.
Thie 1995 GNP is 584 million yuan. The average increase is 33.4%o anuually during the EighithiFive Year Plan, In the NinthiFive Year P'lallanid by the year 201 0, Neiqiu County, still keeping agriculture as the mainistay, will focus its attentionioni the development of townslip enterprises in order to speed up industrializationiand urbanization. It is estimated that, by 2000. the GNP will reach 1310 million yuan, with an anuLualincrease rate ol 23.4%, and will remain an increase of 15% from the year 2000 on. By 20 10, the GNP will reach 4608 million yuan.
2.3 CurTent Status and Analysis of Noise Environiment:
Several small villages along the interconunectingare directly carousel. Silce the road is only 6.2 km long, two monitoring stations were set ulp at Dalianig Village anidXizhangmna Village.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
61 4.1 Measures and Recoimimienidationisfor Construction Pliase:
(1)Waste land shiould be used as muchi as possible for bol-ow pits. Effective measures should be taken to decrease sil erosioni.No waste earith or stones shoUld be discarded at ranidom. Vegetationi sh.ould be recovered in time.
(2) Construction and operationiof plants shiouldstop during the rest time ol' local residents. Conistrtictionis not allowed from 22:00 to 6:00 to ensure tilat local residents could have good rest.
(3) Storage of constrtictioniplants is better to be at 200m away (downwind( direction) from the living quarters of local residents.
(4) Water spriniiers shiall be provided at the construction site to reduce dust pollution. trucks for transporting construction materials shiallbe covered with covering materials to avoid leakage.
4.2 Measures and Recoimnendationisat Operation Phase:
(1) Since the village of Dialiang is near to the proposed project(abouLt50 metres), it is recommended to strengthien the monitoring of noise anid atmosphere during the operation phase, and adopt measures according to the nonitoring results;
(2)It is recommended that no new schools, residential quarters or lhospitals be built withliin50m at botlhside of the proposed road.
5. CONCLUSION
5.1 CurTentStatus of EnviroinmentalQuality:
Natural envirotunenitin the project area is simple. Agricultural ecology takes the leading role. There is no rare animals or plants fotnd. Theerear-e 0lo major industrial or mining enterprises due to poor communications . Currenit status of sounLdenviromnent is fine and so is the air environimentalquality.
5.2 Construction Pliase:
Since damage to surface vegetation is unavoidable during construction
62 phase, it is important to recover it after constructioni. Proper measuri-esshaill have to be taken to deal with noise and TSP produced by constnictioniactivities so as to ensule the healtlhof local residents and constntctionlworkers.
5.3 Operation Pliase:
Land must be retumnedto farming as soon as possible after construlction. Greening must be done to -reduce erosion of soil along the road. For Villake of' Dialiang, wlich is near to the road, it is recommended to adopt some nmeastires. namely hiiglhfence walls and planting trees and othlermanagemenlt technliulle. lo reduce noise and air pollutioni.
In a word, the proposed project will certainly facilitate tihe social economic development of the project area, and at the same time, will impose certain impact on thieenvironment. However, if the above recommendations al-e observed strictly, pollution caused by constructioniand vehicles can be avoided. So the Neiqiu lnterchainge Interconniiecting Road is feasible lri-oii tile environmental point of view.

III. FORECAST AND ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENNTAL IMPACT
3.1 Assessment of Natural Environmental Impact
Sinice the project is to improve and expand the existing Class Ill Higlhway,there slhallnot be muclhimpact of engineering activities on the natural terrain and topography of the project area. Yet waste water as well as sewvage water produced by the administration of construction and living of constructioni team shall caiuse pollution to surface water. As far as bridge structures are concerned, pollution to river water could be avoided if construction behavior-is controlled. There would be no apparent change to the quality of river water due to the small amounit of sewage water produced by the living of construtctioln teams and the impact is temporary. Thouglhsome fann land would be occupie(d because of the expansioniof the existing road, there would not be much imnpact on the agricultural irrigation system since the amount of land occupation is small. Impact on soil erosion is small, too.

Xl ¢ W 5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1. Constniction Significanice Tlhis connecting line, located at the east exit of ShlijiazhtuangCit, is a portion of the No. 307 National Trnlik Higliway conunectingwith Gaochells'. Jinzhou, etc. to the east and enidingat HuanghluaPort. This interconnecting roadl will furtlher coniect Sliijiazhuang - Taiyuan, Beijing-Sliijiazliuang and Shijiazhuang-HuawgHuaPort Expressways. Meanwlile, it will rationalize tlle urban transport network in Shijiazhulangby avoiding transit traffic at nortli-east and nortli-west sides of thiecity to use inner city roads.
With the developmnentof the society and the economy, the anlual average daily increase of traffic amount lhasfar exceeded the traffic capacity of this a-oii wlhichias a result has become a section of the Shi-Ganig Higlhwayhlaving tlhe heaviest traffic amount. With thieincrease of the traffic amotunt,the pavement of some individual sections has been seriously damaged and defects suchl as tortoise cracks, swells etc., have appeared and have resulted in the degradation of the service standard of the road and the maintenance expenses.
ShijiazlhanigCity, togetlher with Qinhutiangdao,Tangslian and Cangzloti cities located on the line arounidBohai Bay, was approved by the State CouLncil as the Open-to-outside Development Zone Around the Bolhai Bay. 'Ilie executioni of this Project slhallsliorten the land distance between Shijiazluang and HuaniglhuaPort and possesses a significant role in the improvement of the investment enviromnent, expansioni of the Open-to-outside-world and in the promotion of the econiomicdevelopment. At the same time anotlherexit towards the east fromnShijiazlhuanig is to be opened due to the execution of thle project, wlhich, having connected Jing-Slhen Expressway with Shi-Ganig Expressway (No.307 National Trunk Road), shall perform a very significant function in the perfection of the road network layout and the sufficienit development of tlhe efficiency of Slii-An Expressway.

This project involves a total investment of 150.437 million Yuani (in wllich 57.224863 million yuan is loan from the World Banki anid 93.211779 million yuan is raised by the Province). The average cost is 13.837 million Yuani pel- kin .
The project is scheduled to commence work in 1997 withla work period of two years and is schieduledto open to traffic simultanieouslywith Shi-Ail Expressway in 1999.
2. Conditioniof the Environiienit
2.1. Natural Environimenlt
The works plamied to be construictedis located in the North Chilia Plains area to the south-east of SlhijiazhuanigCity where the terrain is flat witil all elevation difference of less thian 20 mi. Most of the area is alluvial and pluvial suiface withi its climate being the subtropical continental monsoon climate and the anmualaverage temperature at 12.8 "C. The ainual sunsliine time is 2,5641hours, the average amotunt of precipitationi is 500 millimeters whichi mainly concentrates in the period between Junleand Auguist.The iio-frost period is 190 days and tie- maximuLi 'freezing depth is 53 cm. Sufficient sunsiiline is available and the wind direction changes very obviously with the change of tile seasons. Winter sees nonrally north and north-west winds while.in the other- seasons mostly the wind is soutil-west to south-east wind. The wind velocity is nionnallyaround 2 m / second.
The geological structure of the area where the project is located belongs to tihe Neo-Huaxia Family rift structure and thie earthquake strength is in the range of stable area.
The rivers in this area are mostly seasonal wide alignment rivers which are dry- or have little water amounitin usually times while in rain season flood withlslow flow. Due to the draught in the recent years which has resulted in the intemiption of water, soine of the rivers have become fann fields and nlow In tlhe area where the line scheduled to be coniected goes through there is no mlore river.
2.2. Social Environment
SliijiazhiuanigCity, the center of Hebei Province, located in the middle southl of
83 Hebei Province, is 300 kilometers away from Bolhai to the east witlh Hen-gsliii and Cangzhou in betweenl and conniectedwith ShaanxiProvince, tlle Coal Base to the west. Adjacent to Xingtai and Handanlto the soutlh,it is connected oii lihe nortlh witlh Beijing and Tianjin the two cities directly under thie Cewtral Government. Shijiazhuang City is the ceniter city of the middle soutli area ol Hebei Province and the soutlhernarea of North Chlilla.It is also the center oi politics, economy, science and technology, finance, trading, culture aiid infonnation of Hebei Province. Under its jurisdictioni are six districts. 12 counties and 5 COuIntylevel cities. Thie land area of SlhijiazlLuanigis 14,077 square kilometers and the total population at the end of 1994 was 8,356,000
Slhijiazhuanigcity is abunidanitin economic founldationiand finie In agrictllill-al foundationi.Wlheat and corn are abulndantlymaniufactured lhere and its strulcttre-c layout of the industrial production enterprises is reasonable. Witlh the coal. chemical, meclhanical, cemienitand textile industries as the main bod) ol its industry, SliijiazhualLgis a textile industry base of Clhina.
At present, Shijiazlhuainghas formed its comprehensive transportation systemn involving railways, higlhways and air-transportationi. The llighways ruln transversely and longittudiniallyinto a network with the No. 308, No. 107 National Trunik Roads, Jing-Slhen Expressway and Jing-Huai Road rm1iIimInm. nortlhto soutlhand No. 307 National Higlhway,Shi-Tai Grade I Motor Way and the Provincial Zlieng-Rao Road in the direction of east and west. So far a higlhway transportationi network witlh the main skeleton of National and Provincial Highways and the counLtyanid township roads as the lias been fonned. The air transportation started relatively late and in this area tlhere are ShiiiazlLuaiigAirport and DaguocuniAirport and Gaocheng Airport.
2.3. Situation of the Sound and Atmosphere Envirounment
The sounld and atmosplhere environmental situation of thle area wlhere ilhe ShijiazlhuaingEast Exit ConnectinigLine is scheduled to go tllrouglhis as slhowvn in the following tables:

X4 Table of Monitoring Result of Atmosphere Situation
Table 7-4 Unit:nig/hn NAME Monitoring Item _ _S 2 T NOx coC r TSP Taixi cun . 0.023 0.016r 1.51 0.211
Judging from the data shown in the above tables, it can be coincluded that the sound environmental quality in the area where the road scheduled to be constructed is relatively good and the majority of the residents along thle linie have a relatively quiet coniditioii of workinig, studying, livinig and resting. Trle enviroimnental noise does not exceed the relevant Stanidard as specified ill tile GB3096-83 Urban Area EnivironmenitalNoise Standard . Since the area whei-e the road sclheduled to be constructed goes tlhrough is located in the countryside and there are not many fixed pollution sources along the route, the enviromnenital quality of the atmosplhere is relatively good witlh the moniitol value of SO2 , NO,, CO and TSP conforming with the Grade II Standard of the atmosphere quality. With the fine quality of the sound and atmosphere quality. it is easy for this area to provide a good conditioni for the developmenit awii construction of the higlhway project.
2.4. Statistics oni Sensitive Spots along the Line
The comnecting line scheduled to be constructed is located in the countryside in the east part of Shijiazlhuaiig and the alignment of Shijiazliuang Nortl Interchawg Interconnecting Road has mostly avoided the big villages,_only Tixi cun locates in the scope of evaluation .
3. Analysis on1Enviroinmental Affects 3.1. Analysis onl the Natural Envirolnmenital Affects
3.1.1. Effects on Agricultural Ecotype by Engineering Construction
This project is a Grade I Motorway of 4 lanes. At the designing and selection of the line, attention was paid to keep the line away from towns and large villages. Since the subgrade to be constructed mostly goes througlh the farm land, thie agricultural productioni is to be affected to some extent with the adverse affects mainly cominig from the occupation of pennanent land. In a short tenn, the grain productioni income of the village of which the land is occupied shall be affected to some extent. However, since the line is relatively short, this affect is relatively slight compared against the whole area and in addition the farmers
85 whose land is-occupied shall be compensated by the township authority thloulghl necessary land adjustment or land compensation fee which may be used by thle farmers to develop niewenterprises. As it is knowni by everyone, developiiieni of transportation is thie foundation on wliclh the economy can take ol'. Constructioni of higliways shall greatly promote the developmelnt ol ilhe economy of the whole. area and sufficiently -guarantee the transportation fundamental facility as necessary for the development of productioll of agricultural products and the processing industry. Job chanices slhall also. be increased and thus the development of the local agricultural economy shall be promoted to a iighler level. The chlangeof the utilizationiof the land resouirce value shall be realized and the benefits broughltin this way slhallbe far bigge- tlhan that by the compenisationifor the adverse afTectof the land occupalionl. it shall lead the development of the wliole area.
Since the area where the coinnectinigline is located is a fann land area wllich have been developed for many years, there is no wild animals.
3.1.2. Analysis on the Soil Erosion
Soil erosioni is a geological calamity of the serious loss of land surface soil anid the fragnentary weathered rock substances resulting from the water-l-low geological function. Serious soil erosion is. mainly resulting fiom the complicated natural environimentand geological conditionis and the long-ter- abuse of the land resources. At present the deterioration of the soil erosion is mainly due to the artifact activities suchl as aimless reclamation, land reclamation, uncontrolled lumbering and husbanidry, engilleering activities againistthe geological regularities, destruction of forest and grassland, and loss of stability of the vegetation mountainirocks and so on.
This conniecting line is located on North ChiinaPlains with flat terraiin, smiiall amotunt of rain water, complete coverage of fanning operations and low highway subgrade. After it is completed, basically no large scale soil erosion shall occur, but attention should be paid to the fonnation of the side slope vegetation and the replantinigon the borrow and deposit areas.
The soil erosion problem mainly happens in the constructioni period duL-inig which due to the operations of borrow fill and slope preparation, the topography and the land features shall be altered Lunavoidablyand thus the vegetation slhallbe damaged. However, since the work period is slhort aiid the damage degree is limited, the soil erosion amouint can be controlled to the minimum if the following measures are taken:
86 (1) Construction of the -ligh-fill and deep-excavation sections shiolii(i he reasonably programmed to avoid being arranged in rain season especially in lhe heavy rain period.
(2) Excavationiof the soil sh.ouldbe executed with the miethiodof platfoi (litclhdI type soil bOITOwand randoirmexcavation along the slope is strictly prolibited.
(3) In the process of earth-fill, as large amounotof the surrounding vegetationias possible should be kept undamaged and restoration of the vegetatiolnin tiheriz hlt of way shiould be maniaged simultaieously With the Construction ol tihe highway.

The future noise levels are predicted by means of energy superpOsition ol hlie predicted traffic noise and the current background value in associationlwithl thie decreasing affect by the topography and the geophysical buildinigsof sensitive spots.
Tile housinig feature of Hebei Province is that each family lhas its own separate courtyard with highiwalls and a single gate. Througlhsite exploration. it is noted that villages along thie project are reasoniably designed. The streets are well laid out and thiewalls of almost eachicourtyard are 3 meters high. The houses by the streets are all 2 story buildings witlh lhigliwalls between tileni. This design has conlected the streets, h1ousesand courtyard inlto rows wlicil lhave quite fine screen fuLnctioni.One gate in a certain distance runsl longitudinally into eachi of the courtyard. Site exploration indicates that the houses by the streets and the highi walls functioln as very good noise barrier against the noisy streets due to the reasonable design and lay-out and, therefore, inside the village, it is very qttiet. The noise level of the locatioli wlhereit is in a distanice of three rows of houses fiom the streets is approximately 5 dB lowver than that ol1 the streets and the noise level in thiecourtyard of the residents is even lower thanithat il tlhevillage.

4. EnivironimenitalProtection Measures and Recominendationis
4. 1. EnvironimilemitalProtection Measures and Recommenidationsin thle Desieii Period
(1) At the designinlg of the route, attentioni shlould be paid to the nimIinimum occupation of thie cultivable land and the route sliould be located as lahras possible away from the large environimenitalsensitive spots. Comprelhenssive considerationi should be takeni of the alignimienitas well as the coistriuctioin layout of the ShijiazhiuanigCity Overall Desigin and LiangcuLnDevelopmnct Zone so as to avoid the possible conflict.
(2) Trees whiichisuit the local climate and soil should be selected ior the (lesign of greenery.
(3) The living and productioniconditionis ol tlhehouselholds who are affected( hy the removal lor land acquisitioll shouildbe well arranged so as to best miaal.1lC not to redUce the liviniganid prodLictiollconditionis of them.
(4) Sites of lime soil mixing plant, stone quarry, borrow area, and debris deposit area should be selected in suciha manner that they are located far away fionmI lie large scale residenitialarea, schools or other envir-onimenitalsensitive spots so as to avoid tile affect oinpopulation's healthiby the lime soil.
4.2. Enviroilnental Protection Measures and Recommendationis in tihe Constr-tuction Period
(1) Utilization of the land acqulired shiould be reasoniably plainned so {S to reduce thle temporamy land area to its minimuimand to shorteni tile occtipatiom time and that the original ftuction of tihe land can be resumed in timle. No random reclamation slhould hiappen.
(2) Eartirwork.and the stone fill shiouldbe well adjusted. Concentrated borrow 93 fill should be selected on the waste land and the borrow and deposit area silould be covered promptly or planted with vegetation to avoid possible soil erosiou.
(3) Night operation (22:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the next day) will be prolhibitedit' there is residential area within 150 meters adjacent the constru0ctionsite.
(4) Water spraying may be performed as necessary to the construictionlsite and the hauling access road.
(5) Adminiistratioiiof the traffic shiouldbe strengtiheniedand effective measures sliould be taken to prevent the occurreniceof accidenitsso as to avoid
(6) Greeninig of the road should be strengthienedwhichi, in addition to bejiw, able to reduce the noise and dust and to consolidate the slope and to beautifiy the environmeht, can absorb part of the NOx and CO whicih has been eniitte(i into the air so as to reduce the pollutioni.It is recommended that two rows of trees be planted onithe road side of LiuctunVillage with an east-west lengthiof I kilometer whiichshall cost about 100,000 yuani.
(7) To the stanidard-exceedingsituationi of the noise level at Liucun Village.-the following measures should start to be taken in the middle stage of the set-vice period: to assist the residents at the roadside in takinig partial noise-reduicillg measures in the middle stage to change the windows of the hotuses into Iwvo layers which shall cost about 50,000 yuaniand in the far stage perfonr t(iesaine refonnation to the hiouses in the second and the third rows which shall cost about 100,000 yuan. At the same time the layout of the village shiould be reasoniably adjusted so that the factories and shops may be located on the toad side whiile the residential areas can be as far as possible away from the roa(l.
4.3. EnvironimenitalProtection Measures and Recommendation for the Service Period
(1) The planning units are recommended not to plan schools, hospitals atid other environmentally sensitive wUitsor buildings within 100 meters on the road side anid no plan for new residential areas will be allowed to be located within 50 meters onithe road side.
(2) Traffic administration should be strengthened and any vehicles exceeding the standard for tail gas emission and noise shiouldbe prevented from travelhiiw on the road. At the same time maintenance of the road should be sitreigtilenied alid the operation order shiouldbe maintained.
94 (3) Greenlingof the road shiouldbe strengthieniedso as to reduce the noise. (lust and to consolidate the slopes and to beautify the enivironment.Trees should he planted especially on the sensitive spots so as to purify the air, reduce tile density of NO, in the atmospihere and to confonn it with the atmosphere quality standard. It is suggested to plant tow rows of trees, eacil 50() IlIcII-C! long, along the road side niear TaiXi village,with total costs of 50,00ORN113 Yuan.
Consideriingthe existence of many variable factors suchias the possible ch;inge of the predicted traffic amouLitand the road alignmientin the accident (iesi'ii map, it is veiy necessaiy to strengtihen the environimenitalmonitorinig wvorl iII the service peeriodso as to assure the prompt and appropriate executliol ol ,he environimenitalprotection mieasuresand to actually guarantee thieenivironincilil and living quality of the r-esidents along the r oute.
