This summary environmental impact assessment (SEIA) has been prepared as an evaluation and condensation of a full environmental impact assessment (EIA) prepared by the Xian Highway Transportation University in November 1994 for the Beijing to Shenyang expressway—192 kilometers (km) of which is the Shenyang- Jinzhou Expressway—according to People’s Republic of China (PRC) guidelines, polices, and regulations. The SEIA is based on (i) the EIA; (ii) the Project feasibility study prepared by the Liaoning Provincial Communications Survey and Design Institute; (iii) discussions with the principal authors of the above documents; (iv) field visits along the proposed alignment; and (v) discussions with officials of the Liaoning Provincial Communications Department (LPCD) and other relevant environmental sector agencies. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 2. Rapid economic development in the PRC since the 1980s has resulted in a significant increase in transport demand. Since 1990, the Government has been pursuing construction of the National Trunk Highway System (NTHS) comprised of 30,000 km of high-standard highways connecting all major provincial capitals and populous cities. The Shenyang-Jinzhou Expressway Project (the Project) was selected for priority construction to support economic development in the central and southwestern part of Liaoning Province. 3. The Shenyang-Jinzhou Expressway is a 192-km, six-lane, limited access toll expressway facility with seven interchanges and improved linking access roads to these interchange locations. The proposed route (Alternative I) is located in Liaoning Province in the northeastern part of the PRC. The route will connect the industrial city of Shenyang with the southwest corridor service area of the Project. 4. The need for this Project has been established as a priority route of the NTHS relating specifically to the completion of the Beijing to Shenyang expressway. The corridor passes through a route in western Liaoning and connects the northeastern parts of the PRC with Hebei Province and Beijing. The Project is designed to move freight and passengers efficiently by road between Hebei Province and Shenyang, connecting Beijing to the PRC’s northeast provinces. This Project is designed to (i) reduce severe interprovincial and local traffic congestion along the existing National Highway Route 102 and Shenyang-Panshan Highway; (ii) improve intermodal linkages from Beijing, Shenyang, and the northeast provinces to major seaports such as Yingkou and Dalian; (iii) relieve pressure on the overburdened railway by allowing high-value door-to-door general cargo to shift to road transport; (iv) implement key road safety provisions; and (v) promote access to less development communities and disadvantaged - 2 - areas. 5. Based on surveys during the feasibility study, the existing National Highway Route 102, with a length of 242 km, had an average annual daily mixed traffic volume of 8,821 vehicles per day in 1993. The Shenyang-Panshan Highway, with a total length of 169 km, had an average annual daily traffic volume of 4,804 vehicles per day in 1993. Congestion with mixed traffic on both these existing roads with mixed traffic reflects undesirable levels of service and safety hazards. Speeds on these highways ranged from a low of 30 km per hour on certain sections to a high of 60 km per hour. 6. The Project will reduce the travel distance between Shenyang and Jinzhou by about 50 km. Access control will be provided to prevent slow-moving, nonmotorized traffic from entering the expressway, thus improving transport efficiency and safety. The Project will result in savings in transport costs, vehicle operating costs, value of passenger and freight time, and other congestion reduction costs, which are vital economic benefits to road users. 7. The Project will have seven toll stations along the route, with most stations located on the access ramps serving connecting roads. Current plans call for large- span bridges totaling about 8,850 meters (m) over rivers; medium-span bridges totaling about 2,390 m; small-span bridges totaling about 1,610 m; and 225 culverts. About 300 underpass and overpass structures will provide connecting access to adjacent rural lands and communities to serve pedestrians, tractors, and other small transport modes. 8. The Project has been approved in principle by the PRC Government, and the EIA was approved on 9 August 1995. The construction period is anticipated to be from 1997 through 2000, and the expressway is projected to handle 15,500 vehicles per day (in medium truck units) in 2000, and 48,000 vehicles per day in 2020. III. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT A. Physical Resources and Natural Environment 9. The Project passes through several regions of diverse landforms and geology. The topographic features of the Project corridor consist primarily of flat areas or plains and slightly rolling hills. There are distinctive geological sections: the Goubangzi and Dahushan geological section, the Panjin section, and the Taian/Liaozhong and Shenyang section. The Panjan and the Tian/Liaozhong and Shenyang sections consist of alluvial plains of various types in low-lying areas. The Goubangzi and Dahushan section has alluvial-diluvial fan characteristics. The seismic classification for this region reflects a range on the Richter scale of 4-6. 10. Sections of the proposed Project alignment consist of fertile, black, farmland soils. There are few natural soil areas left with the exception of the nature preservation areas near Panjin City and other nearby low-lying coastal areas. Taian County experiences significant soil erosion problems. Slightly over 9,300 hectares (ha) of farmland is lost annually through wind and soil erosion. 11. Liaoning Province experiences wide seasonal variations in temperature and rainfall, with cold winters, warm summers, and windy springs. The mean monthly - 3 - temperature is from -17 to -5 degrees centigrade (oC) in January, and from 21 to 25oC in July. The Project corridor belongs to the frigid temperate zone, with the soil frozen seasonally. The winter lasts as long as five months, with a very short spring and fall, while July and August account for the heaviest concentrations of rainfall. 12. Monitoring was conducted to evaluate baseline ambient air quality conditions in the corridor. The air pollutants monitored included total suspended particles (TSP); nitrogen oxides (NOx); lead (Pb); carbon monoxide (CO); and total hydrocarbons (THC). Air quality conditions at the monitored locations were relatively clean, with a few exceptions. CO and TSP did not exceed normal standards at most locations. However, CO levels at two locations exceeded level 21 daily average standards by 20 percent and 40 percent, respectively. Daily average concentration 3) levels of NOx ranged from 0.010 to 0.046 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m and for all monitoring stations did not exceed normal standards. The average daily concentration level of TSP was 0.11-0.47 mg/m3; at several monitoring locations, standards were exceeded by 20-40 percent. The daily average concentration of lead varied from 0.0001 to 0.0013 mg/m3 which is below national standards. Locations where standards were exceeded were likely due to pollution from industrial sources and heavily congested vehicular traffic. 13. Monitoring was conducted for baseline ambient noise conditions in the Project corridor, including several school locations, which were monitored against a standard of 60 decibels (A) —(dB[A])2— for daytime and 50 dB(A) for nighttime.

[email protected] Keywords: Economic competitiveness; Competitiveness evaluation; Coastal counties Abstract. The competitiveness of coastal county is an important area of study on regional competitiveness, and evaluation study on county economy is important basis and foundation to improve the competitiveness of coastal county economy. Based on a brief description of literature review, a method based on stakeholders’ perspective is proposed to solve the competitiveness evaluation problem. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by the example as Liaoning province. Finally, some countermeasures are proposed to promote coastal county economy according the evaluation result and characteristics. Introduction Due to convenient transportation conditions for international trade, coastal counties get prosperity for trading with the world and will be easy to form manufacturing bases for processing trade. Many scholars are attracted to the research of economic competitiveness evaluation for its widely application background. Liu(2013) established evaluation index system of county economy for Tangshan, and proposed a method for county economy evaluation based on factor analysis [1]. He(2014) designed evaluation index system based on the perspective of economy development demand in county level, and analyzed the supporting ability of science and technology in Anhui by means of analytic hierarchy process(AHP) [2].Above mentioned methods have each superiority, but evaluation results rely too much on experts’ preference. Evaluation objects are considered as passive objects in the above evaluation problems, while evaluation objects always have more complete evaluation information.

  • Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility
    Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials.

The transformation and evolution of the movement during the Middle-Late Jurassic were investigated from the rock assemblage, geochemistry, and chronology in adamellites which were exposed in the Xingcheng area, western Liaoning. Two types of adamellites were recognized—biotite adamellites with the formation age of 172–168 Ma and garnet-bearing adamellites of 158–152 Ma. All the samples of the two types of adamellites displayed enriched characteristics with high content of SiO2 (66.86–75.55 wt.%) and total alkali (Na2O + K2O = 7.56–8.71 wt.%), high large ion lithophile element (LILE: K, Rb, Sr), and low high field strength element (HFSE: Ce, Ta, P, Ti). The biotite adamellites belong to metaluminous-peraluminous I-type granites, and show volcanic arc granite characteristics, and were formed by partial melting of the ancient crust in the compressional setting that resulting from the subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate beneath the north margin of the North China Craton (NCC).
