1.1 Project Mid-term Adjustment Introduction

World Bank Financed Han River Urban Environment Improvement

Project was listed in Three Year Plan of WB Financed Project from 2006 to 2008 by National Development and Reform Commission in 2005 and this project was implemented in 2008. The objective of this project is listed as the following: With the sewage collection and treatment projects and solid waste management projects constructed in the selected cities and counties along Hubei Han River Basin to reduce the waste water and solid waste pollution, strengthen the institutional reform and capacity construction and water pollution control capacity of the utility institutions of the relative cities and counties. HUEIP contains 15 subprojects locate in Hanchuan, Honghu, Shayang, Tianmen, Xiaochang, Dawu, Danjiangkou, xiangfang (renamed as Xiangyang on December 9th, 2010), and Yunmeng 9 cities/counties. The main construction contents include urban waste water treatment plant, sewage collection pipeline network and solid waste treatment, including 2 sewage collection pipeline network projects (Xiangfan and Honghu), 5 waste water treatment plants and sewage collection pipeline network projects (Tianmen, Shayang, Xiaochang, Yunmeng and Hanchuan), 7 solid waste landfill projects （Shayang , Hanchuan, Yunmeng, Xiaochang, Honghu, Dawu and Danjiangkou ） and one industrial pollution improvement project. The total investment of this project is RMB

1,142,115,100.00Yuan, and the WB loan is 84 million USD which accounts for 52% of the total investment ( the exchange rate is 1:7.1 during project appraisal stage). The project appraisal was completed by WB on July 26th, 2007, the Project Loan Legal Document was signed on July 3rd, 2008 and the WB Loan effective date is September 16th, 2008. The loan payback period is 26 years with five-year grace period. HUEIP is under full implementation stage since 2009. According to WB loan Project Consultant Selecting Guideline and QBS Procurement method, the JV of Hubei Xinbao Science & Technology Co. Ltd and Wuhan University was entrusted by PMO of HUEIP to undertake the external environment monitoring for this project. The consulting service contact was signed in September 2011. The external monitoring work for EMP implementation status will be conducted in line with contract, WB EMP and national laws and regulations during the project implementation stage. Through the mid-term adjustment, the construction contents of 14 subprojects in 9 cities/counties of this project was changed to 11 subprojects in 7 cities/counties( Hanchuan, Honghu, Shayang, Xiaochang, Dawu, Xiangyang and Yunmeng), including 3 sewage collection pipeline network projects (Xiangyang, Hanchuan and Honghu), 2 waste water treatment plants and sewage collection pipeline network projects (Shayang and Yunmeng) and 5 solid waste landfill projects (Shayang, Hanchuan, Xiaochang, Honghu and Dawu). Standard on pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill (GB16889-2008) was implemented from July 1st,2007, this new standard increased the requirements on leachate discharging compared with GB16889-1997, so Shayang and Hanchuan Solid Waste Landfill Projects must be reformed in line with this new discharging standard. Furthermore,

the environmental issues generated from the newly added sewage collection pipeline network project and lifting pump station project of Hanchuan subproject.

1.3 Environment Impact Scope Variation Status After Project Mid-term Adjustment

1.3.1 Hanchuan Sewage Collection Pipeline Network Project According to EIA for Counterpart Pipeline Expansion of Hubei Hanchuan Urban Waste Water Treatment Project(Beijing Zhongan Zhihuan Technology Assessment Co., Ltd., November, 2013) and Reply on EIA Sheet for Counterpart Pipeline Network Expansion of Hubei Hanchuan Waste Water Treatment Project(Chuan Huan Shen Han[2013]

No.123), the environment impact will be generated after the mid-term adjustment are listed as the following: This project is mainly focus on improvement and expansion for sewage system of main urban area and reserve capacity for the sewage of Chenghuang Town and Liujiage Town involved in the planning system. Sewage pipeline is mainly divided into several sections: west old urban section, two sides section of interceptor in north of urban, union ditch section of north of urban and two sides section of No2. Kaifa Road. The long-term planning capacity of newly built sewage pipeline is 0.25 million ton/day and the estimated sewage amount of this period is 50,000.00ton/day. The pipe diameter of the sewage pipeline is DN500~DN1200 with a length of 16.6KM and reserve crossing pipeline DN500 of 1.3KM. New pump will be added to the No.2 pump station. Improve the interception in drainage outlet of old urban area. Update the land reclamation pump of Sanyi Floodgate, add new sewage pump and remove and construct the upper constructions. Update the land reclamation pump of Daxing Floodgate and remove and construct the upper constructions.

Since the project pipelines are built under the ground which will be rehabilitated after the construction, so there is no land requisition and demolition work will be occurred, then there is no resettlement and house demolition work.

Gas Generated During Construction Period 1．Dust

During the whole construction period, the dust is mainly generated

from land excavation, pipeline traction, backfill, pipeline transportation, spoil open-air stacking, load and unload. The dust will be more serious during the dry season in a windy weather. Through the investigation, it reveals that the dust in the construction site is mainly generated from the vehicles travelling which accounts for 60% of the total dust and it has relationship with the road surface and vehicle travelling speed. Generally, the impact scope of the dust generated from the natural wind in construction site and construction road is within 100 meters. During the construction period, 70% to 80% dust will be reduced through watering the road four to five times a day which will decline the TSP pollution distance within 50 meters. 2. Waste Water Generated During Construction Period This waster water is mainly generated from storm water surface runoff, construction waste water and domestic waste water of construction staffs. （1）Storm water surface runoff at construction site: Generally, the sewage pipeline excavation and pipeline laying will not have significant impact on surface water. Nevertheless, during the storm season, the storm water surface runoff will wash away the dust, construction stone and sand, solid waste and spoil which will be directly transported to pipeline with some other pollutants, such as concrete, oil pollutant and chemicals, and then enter into the surface water body or discharged into the surface water directly. If the suspended substance of the waste water discharged into the surface water without treatment which will cause pollution to the water

body, river and water body blockage. （2）Construction waste water: the construction waste water is mainly generated from equipment cleaning water, construction site washing, construction materials washing, vehicles flushing, concrete maintenance and equipment hydraulic testing which has a certain amount of oil and sludge. This kind of waste water will be reused after sediment in the sedimentation tank.

（3）Domestic waste water: the domestic waste water generated from the construction staffs is the main water pollution source. There will be 50 construction staffs during the construction rush hours and the domestic waste water is 50L/day per staff, see Table 1.3-1 for the domestic waste water and pollutant amount per day at the construction site.

Table 1.3-1 Domestic Waste Water and Pollutant Amount During Construction Period

Waste Water Ammonia SS BOD5 COD（kg/d）（m3/d） nitrogen（kg/d）（kg/d）（kg/d） 2.5 0.06 0.45 0.62 0.37

Though the amount of this domestic waste water, it should not be discharged into river. The construction staffs rent the local resident houses, so their domestic waste water will be discharged into sewage pipeline network after treatment. The general principle for treatment of the construction waste water is to prevent the waste water with sludge, sand and other pollutants discharged into river. During the construction period, the construction unit must implement the Temporary Rules on Civilized Construction and

Environment Management of Project Construction Site strictly and conduct design for the surface water drainage, arbitrary drainage is forbidden. In conclusion, the impact on water environment is mainly caused by the poor management. If the management work are strengthened for each construction site, pay more attention to civilized construction, rapid construction and carry out a certain of environment pollution prevention and improvement measures, the above environment impact will be low and shortly.

3. Noise Generated During Construction Period The mechanical equipment which can generate noise of this proposed project include hydraulic excavator, bulldozer, loader, air compressor, vibrator and cutting machine. The noise value is listed in Table 7-2. Though the construction of pipeline is linear, the load and unload of pipeline, road surface cutting and construction of gasification station are conducted point to point, so the construction noise source can be treated as point noise source. According to the point noise source decline model, we can estimated the noise value at different distance from the noise source, the estimate model is as below:

LP=LP0 - 20 lg (r/r0)

Note：Lp—Estimate Noise Value(dB(A)) r meter from the noise source.

Lp0—Reference Noise Level(dB(A)) r0 meter from the noise source. According to the noise value of different construction machinery, the estimate noise value at different distance of different construction machinery will be calculated, see Table 1.3-2 for the detailed information.

Table 1.3-2 The Estimate Noise Value at Different Distance of

Different Construction Machinery Unit: dB(A)

1 2 3 4 5 1 1 1 2 Distance(m) 5 Machinery 0 0 0 0 0 00 20 50 00

8 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 Hydraulic Excavator 4 8 2 8 6 4 8 3 5 2 8 8 7 7 7 6 6 5 6 5 Pipelayer 8 3 7 3 1 9 3 8 0 7 9 8 8 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 Vibrator 5 9 3 9 7 5 9 3 5 2 9 8 7 7 7 7 6 5 6 5 Loader 0 4 8 4 2 0 4 9 1 8 9 8 7 7 7 7 6 5 6 5 Bulldozer 0 4 8 4 2 0 4 9 1 8 8 8 7 7 7 6 6 5 6 5 Trucks 9 3 7 3 1 9 3 8 0 7 8 8 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 5 Moveable Crane 6 0 4 0 6 4 0 5 7 4 9 8 8 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 Cutting Machine 5 9 3 9 7 5 9 3 5 2 9 8 8 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 Welder 2 4 0 8 5 3 8 2 4 0 The noise value generated from the above construction machinery will exceed the night standard stated in Environment Noise Emission

Standard at the Boundary of Construction Site（GB12523-2011）. The construction of medium pressure pipeline is along the urban traffic road which locates inside of the urban area. The surrounding environment sensitive points are school, government agency, residential area and other public site within 5 meter to 100 meter from the construction site. The noise value generated from the construction is close to the standard

requirement stated in Environment Noise Emission Standard at the Boundary of Construction Site which will have a certain of impact to the above environment sensitive point, so different construction time will be adopted to the different environment sensitive point. The moveable noise barrier will be adopted if it is necessary to reduce the noise impact. Try to avoid night construction and it must be approved by the relative department and notice to the public if the construction must be conducted during the night time. Though the construction noise is inevitable during the construction period, the Environment Noise Emission Standard at the Boundary of Construction Site（GB12523-2011）must be implemented strictly and the relative prevention measures must be taken to minimize the impact to the environment. 4. Solid Waste Generated During Construction Period It is analyzed that the construction solid waste is 25kg per day. If the solid waste generated from the kitchen discharged arbitrarily which will destroy the environment sanitation and have impact on aesthetic, the odour and disease will be spread and breed the flies and mosquito when the organics go bad. Moreover, the harmful factor of the solid waste will pollute the environment if it floats in the air. For the solid waste, it must be collected by the sanitation department and conduct harmlessness treatment. After adopting the measures to prevention and improve solid waste, the solid waste of this project construction has minimum impact to the surrounding environment. 5. Impact on Ecology （1）Impact on Soil from Pipeline Construction The ditch method is adopted for pipeline construction, so the impact

on soil is inevitable which will destroy the soil structure, soil layer and cause nutrient loss. Since the construction is conducted inside of the urban area and the surface soil will be collected during construction and cover back after construction which will not generate other impacts. （2）Impact on Agricultural Irrigation Facilities There is no pipeline cross the river of this project, so there is no impact on agricultural irrigation facilities. （3）Impact on Animal and Plant Ecological Environment Impact on terrestrial organism: through the site investigation, it is found that there is no large forest park, natural reserve area and large forest within 300 meters along the pipeline sides, there is only a small amount of forest between farmlands and greening belt along the roads. There is no large meadow and only amount of farmlands inside of the construction area, so the construction will have no impact on meadow resources. There is no rare wild animal and plant found along the pipeline. Since the ecology category is quite simple along the pipeline construction area, so there is no impact on the living environment of the wild animal and plant, only minimum impact on the terrestrial ecological environment because the project construction area is quite narrow with short construction period.

（4）Impact Estimate on Landscape Ecology

The impact on landscape ecology mainly determines by the surface vegetation, topography, residential point of the pipeline construction area and water system variation of the area that pipeline passes through. This pipeline project only passes through greening belt and landscape of traffic road.

The land surface will be rehabilitated after the completion of the pipeline construction, the original traffic road, farmland landscape and greening belt will not be changed. So it is estimated by the theory of landscape ecology, this project will not have impact on landscape ecology of this project area.

（5）Impact on Ecological Stability and Water Loss and soil Erosion

Since there is no large area of bare soil excavation, there is no large amount of spoil. The construction hour must be distributed reasonably and avoid excavation during intensive rainfall period in July and August.

The prevention and improvement measures must be taken to shorten the exposed time of excavated earth and excavation exposed surface. There will be minimum impact from water loss and soil erosion during construction period if the excavated earth and stone backfilled timely and reasonable treatment conducted for the spoil.

Environment Impact During Operation Stage

（1）Air

The odour generated from the pump station during the project operation stage is mainly consist of H2S, NH3 and mercaptan. The embedded design is adopted for this project and the gas skirt and odour removal system are installed inside of the pump station to degrade the odour. The odour will meet the requirements of Class II of Odour

Pollutant Emission Standard (GB144554-93) after the treatment. The calculated prevention distance is 50 meter and there is no resident, place of interest and other environment sensitive points within this prevention distance.

（2）Ambient Environment

Only one water pump will be added to No.2 pump station and the update work for the equipment of other pump station will be conducted without variation of pump quantity, there will be minimum impact from the noise generated from the pump station after the completion of the update work. It is estimated that the noise will meet the requirements of

Class II of Environment Noise Emission Standard at the Boundary of

Industrial Enterprise（GB12348-2008）, so the noise generated from the operation of waste water treatment plant will have minimum impact on surrounding environment which will not cause nuisance issues.

（3）Solid Waste

The solid waste of this project is mainly generated from the sediment between the gratings（1277.5m3/a） which shall be disposed by the sanitation department. The sediment must be transported timely to avoid the impact from the odour generated from the sediments. The solid waste of this project will have minimum impact on the surrounding environment after the above treatment.

（4）Risk Analysis

Under the emergency situation, such as wastewater pipeline burst which will cause methane and waste water leakage and cause pollution and impact to some extent.Besides, the urgent repair will cause noise and waste water pollution. If the waste water pipeline burst, the methane with high concentration inside will cause poisoning to human beings and the waste water will flow into the road with odour spread, so it is necessary to build a set of prevention measures and emergency plan.The pump station will be shut off if the wastewater pipeline burst and arrange relative staffs to conduct repair work as sooon as possible which will minimize the loss and the impact on resident and environment.

1.3.2 Shayang Solid Waste Project

The ministry of Environmental Protection and General

Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the

People's Republic of China issued the Standard of Pollution Control for

Solid Waste Landfill（GB16889-2008）on April 1st, 2008 which was implemented from July 1st, 2007. This standard lists more strict requirements on water pollutant discharging for the existing and newly built solid waste landfill.

According to Standard of Pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill

（ GB16889-2008 ） ,the original leachate treatment

process(140m3/dUASB＋ Oxidation Ditch Pretreatment Process)stated in the report can not meet the requirements of the new discharging standard. Currently, the waste water treatment section of Shayang Urban

Solid Waste Landfill has not been constructed, so the construction unit decides to change the leachate treatment process during this mid-term adjustment to meet the requirements of the new discharging standard, the instruction on the variation status and environment impact are listed as the following.

Leachate Treatment Process After Variation and Discharging

Direction

The treatment capacity is the same after variation(130m3/d). In order to meet the requirements of Technology Specifications on Leachate

Treatment of Solid Waste Landfill（HJ564-2010,trial implementation）and

Technology Specifications on Leachate Treatment of Solid Waste

（CJJ150-2010）, the treatment process adjusted to leachate pretreatment and membrane deep treatment process designed by the qualified unit. The outlet water quality can meet the requirements of Table 2 of Standard of

Pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill（GB16889-2008）.

The Wastewater after treatment will be discharged into Shayang

Sewage Pipeline Network based on the EIA report which was approved by the reply E Huan Han [2007] No.493 in October 2007.

Environment Impact Analysis After Variation

（1） Compliance with the Law and Regulations

After the treatment process variation which can meet the discharging standard of Standard of Pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill

（GB16889-2008）. The treatment will update from pretreatment to self treatment and the outlet water quality concentration can meet the limitation requirement of the standard.

（2）Impact on Urban WWTP

Since the treatment capacity and outlet water quality concentration reduced greatly, the COD, BOD, Ammonia Nitrogen and Total

Phosphorus and other main indicators can meet the requirements of Class

II of Pollutant Discharging Standard for Urban WWTP（GB18918-2002） which can be obtained from the comparison of Table 1.3.2-1 and Table

1.3.2-2. After the combination with the urban sewage pipeline network, the waste water amount and water quality will not have great impact on the operation of Shayang Urban WWTP. Besides, the Hg, cadmium, chromium, plumbum and arsenic and other heavy metals of the outlet must meet the discharging requirements of Table 2 of Standard of

Pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill, then the sludge poisoning can be further avoided for the biochemistry treatment section of urban WWTP and reduce the impact on water environment from the persistent pollutants.

（3）Impact on Water Quality of Receiving Water Body

The leachate and office waste water of Shayang Urban Solid Waste

Landfill discharged into Shayang WWTP after treatment and will discharged into Xijing River if meet the requirement of Class IB of

Pollutant Discharging Standard for Urban WWTP（GB18918-2002）.

After the update for the waste water treatment process, the pollution load reduced greatly which will not have impact on water body nearby landfill and final receiving water body.

In summary, the project after variation comply with the relative national standards and the conclusion of the environment impact is the same as that in the original report.

1.3.3 Hanchuan Solid Waste Project

According to the Standard of Pollution Control for Solid Waste

Landfill（GB16889-2008）issued by the Ministry of Environmental

Protection, it states more strict limitation requirement for the leachate self treatment of all the solid waste landfill. The project construction unit proposed to update the leachate treatment process based on the requirements of this standard while the outlet discharging direction will no be changed.

The instructions on leachate treatment process variation status and environment impact are listed as the following:

Original Leachate Treatment Process

The leachate and office domestic waste water is treated by the pretreatment device of UBF+CT+CASS with a capacity of 250m3/d, If the outlet water quality can meet the requirement of Water Quality

Standard for Waste Water Discharged into Urban Sewage Pipeline

（CJ3082-1999）, then discharged into urban WWTP for deep treatment through the urban sewage pipeline network, and if the treated water quality can meet the requirement of Class IB of Pollutant Discharging

Standard for Urban WWTP（GB18918-2002）, then discharged into Han

River.

The characteristics of waste water pretreatment process:

（1）It has proven operation experiences and adapt to the changes of leachate water quality with a reliable and stable treatment effects.

（2）Small amount of structure and equipment with convenient maintenance.

（3）Low investment and it has a low operation cost.

（4）Stable and mall amount of sludge generated.

Hanchuan WWTP started operation from October, 2011 with a capacity of 50,000m3/d, the designed inlet water quality is: COD＝

362mg/l,BOD5=181mg/l,SS ＝ 219mg/l and NH3-N=29mg/l and the treatment method is oxidation ditch treatment process; the outlet water quality is: COD≤60mg/l,BOD5≤20mg/l,SS≤20mg/l and NH3-N≤8mg/l which can meet the requirement of Class IB of Pollutant Discharging

Standard for Urban WWTP（GB18918-2002）.

The waste water discharging amount of Hanchuan Solid Waste

Landfill only accounts for 0.5% of the designed capacity of WWTP.

Since the concentration of SS, COD, BOD5 and NH3-N meet the inlet water quality indicator of WWTP, so the water discharged of Hanchuan

Solid Waste Landfill will not have great impact on treatment load of

WWTP.

Leachate Treatment Process After Variation

The waste water treatment capacity is still the same after variation and the treatment process is changed to MBR+RO with the characteristics as the following:

（1）The process technology is proven and stable;

（2）The balance design and stable for the inlet water quality, and has an appropriate carbon-nitrogen ratio;

（3）Outlay MBR has strong biological denitrification capacity and organic pollutant degradation capacity because it has high concentration and long age sludge.

（4）The RO process can guarantee the outlet water quality can meet the limitation requirement of Pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill

（GB16889-2008）.

Environment Impact Analysis After Variation

1. Compliance with the Law and Regulations

After the treatment process variation which can meet the discharging

standard of Standard of Pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill

（GB16889-2008）. The treatment will update from pretreatment to self treatment and the outlet water quality concentration can meet the limitation requirement of the standard.

2. Impact on Urban WWTP

Since the treatment capacity and outlet water quality concentration reduced greatly, the COD, BOD, Ammonia Nitrogen and Total

Phosphorus and other main indicators can meet the requirements of Class

II of Pollutant Discharging Standard for Urban WWTP（GB18918-2002）.

After the combination with the urban sewage pipeline network, the waste water amount and water quality will not have great impact on the operation of Hanchuan Urban WWTP. Besides, the Hg, cadmium, chromium, plumbum and arsenic and other heavy metals of the outlet must be controlled strictly, then the sludge poisoning can be further avoided for the biochemistry treatment section of urban WWTP and reduce the impact on water environment from the persistent pollutants.

3. Impact on Water Environment

The leachate and office waste water of Hanchuan Urban Solid Waste

Landfill discharged into Hanchuan WWTP after treatment and will discharged into Han River if meet the requirement of Class IB of

Pollutant Discharging Standard for Urban WWTP（GB18918-2002）.

After the update for the waste water treatment process, the pollution load reduced greatly which will not have impact on water body nearby landfill and final receiving water body.

In summary, the project after variation comply with the relative national standards which will not have impact on the WWTP in the downstream and will not have negative environment impact on the water body nearby landfill and Han River.

During this meeting, the public people can master the construction content, construction period, construction method, environment impact and mitigation measures of leachate treatment project based on the new discharging standard. The government mastered and accepted the suggestions from the public people which had positive functions for the project operation. See pictures below:

Chapter VI Conclusion

Through the mid-term adjustment, the construction contents of 14 subprojects in 9 cities/counties of this project was changed to 11 subprojects in 7 cities/counties( Hanchuan, Honghu, Shayang, Xiaochang, Dawu, Xiangyang and Yunmeng), including 3 sewage collection pipeline network projects (Xiangyang, Hanchuan and Honghu), 2 waste water treatment plants and sewage collection pipeline network projects (Shayang and Yunmeng) and 5 solid waste landfill projects (Shayang, Hanchuan, Xiaochang, Honghu and Dawu).

Hanchuan sewage collection pipeline network and lifting pump station, Shayang solid waste project and Hanchuan solid waste project involve the environment impact issues. Hanchuan sewage collection pipeline network and lifting pump station projects are the newly added projects which will not have negative impact according to the analysis on environment impact and mitigation measures on EIA sheets(Chuan Huan Shen Han [123]).Since standard on pollution Control for Solid Waste Landfill (GB16889-2008) was implemented from July 1st,2007, this new standard increased the requirements on leachate discharging compared with GB16889-1997, so Shayang and Hanchuan Solid Waste Landfill Projects must update the leachate treatment process in line with this new discharging standard. Based on the Supplementary Introduction on Environment Impact for Solid Waste Leachate Discharging Standard for Shayang Urban Solid Waste Treatment Project of WB Financed Han River Urban Environment Improvement Project issued by Hubei Junbang Environment Technology Co., Ltd. On January 9th,2014 and Instruction

for Environment Impact from Leachate Treatment Process Variation of WB Financed Hanchuan Urban Solid Waste Landfill Project issued by Hubei Academy of Environmental Sciences on January 9th, 2014, the environment impact were analyzed respectively. Since the discharging direction was not changed and just variation made for the leachate treatment process, so there is no negative impact on environment.

New mitigation measures for environment impact, training plan and environment monitoring plan are formulated for Hanchuan sewage pipeline network and lifting pump station project, Shayang solid waste project and Hanchuan solid waste project which will be implemented in next period for these three projects.
