2. Description of the Project and Environment
2.1 Project Background
4. With a total land mass of 187,400 km2, Jilin is one of the three provinces that form the northeastern PRC. The rivers in Jilin belong to five major watersheds. About 71.8% of the provincial territory or 134,500 km2 belong to the Songhua river basin (SRB), the third largest watershed in the PRC after the Yangtze and the Yellow rivers. The Tumen river basin covers 19,200 km2 or 10.2% of the provincial territory. The remaining 33,700 km2 or 18.0% or fall in the Liao, Yalu and Suifen rivers, with respective coverage of 15,800 km2 (8.4%), 15,500 km2 (8.3%) and 2,400 km2 (1.3%). Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province and an industrial, communication, and transportation center in northeast PRC with an urban population of 3.65 million1, is located in the SRB. Yanji City, the capital of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture bordering Russia and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the economic center of eastern Jilin Province with an urban population of 0.52 million2, is situated in the Tumen river basin.
5. Due to the rapid economic development in the past few decades, the Songhua river suffered from serious pollution from industrial, urban and non-point sources. The water quality in sections passing through industrial and urban centers deteriorated to class V or below. Being the largest urban and industrial center in upstream Songhua, Changchun is a major contributor to the pollution in the Songhua. In spite of the effort on wastewater treatment, at the end of 2007 a large portion of the raw wastewater generated in Changchun flew directly to the Songhua via Yitong, Yongchun and other tributaries, contributing to the water pollution in the Songhua and its tributaries. As an international river between the PRC, North Korea and Russia, the Tumen river also suffered from serious pollution in recent years from industrial, urban and non-point sources. Its water quality stayed at class IV or V for most of the year. The Buerhatong river is a major tributary of the Tumen. Its water quality upon receiving untreated wastewater from Yanji city degraded to class V year around. The first WWTP came into operation at the end of 2007, but the water quality in the Buerhatong river remained poor.
6. Moreover, both Changchun and Yanji suffered from inadequate water supply due to rapid urban expansion and outdated infrastructures. In addition, Changchun had a domestic solid waste management system featuring domestic waste pickup, extensive informal recovery of recyclables, and disposal in a managed landfill. Given that the existing landfill site would be fully utilized by the end of 2009 3, timely construction of a new domestic solid waste treatment facility was urgently needed to prevent water pollution from the uncontrolled solid waste disposal as well as other sanitation problems. Finally, Yanji, as a newly developing city, had an outdated urban heating system with hundreds of small boilers that were of low efficiency and a major source of air pollution for Yanji city.

7. In response to the growing water pollution in the SRB, the State Council approved the Songhua River Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Plan (2006-2010). The plan set the target of improving the water quality of the mainstream Songhua to class III by 2010 by reducing the basin-wide total COD discharge by 12.6% by 2010 against the 2005 level through the construction of new WWTPs with a total capacity of 3.08 million t/d, including 1.25 million t/d for Jilin province. In 2009, the State Council approved the Regional Cooperation and Development Plan for the Tumen River Basin, which called for, among other things, integrated water pollution control to protect the basin’s water resources. The eleventh five-year plans (FYPs) for Changchun and Yanji cities called for improving water supply security and environmental quality by taking effective measures to reduce water and air emissions and properly disposing solid wastes.
8. On 29 October 2007, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a loan of $100 million from its ordinary capital resources for the Jilin Urban Environmental Improvement Project4. The impact of the project is to enhance the urban environment and improve public health and quality of life for urban residents in the cities of Changchun and Yanji by (i) increasing wastewater coverage, (ii) enhancing solid waste management, (iii) improving the supply of potable water, and (iv) reducing air pollution by replacing small boilers with central heating. The outcome of the project is improved water supply, wastewater management, solid waste management, and efficient central heating in Changchun and Yanji. Appendix 1 presents the design and monitoring framework at appraisal and achievements at completion.
2.2 Relevance of Design and Formulation
9. The project was consistent with the ADB’s (i) PRC Country Partnership Strategy 5 at appraisal, particularly its focus on promoting equitable and inclusive growth and improving the environment; and (ii) Water Policy6 focusing on poverty reduction, cost recovery and tariff reform, upstream pollution prevention and control, water conservation, improvement and expansion of water services delivery, corporate governance and enterprise reform, and watershed management. It also contributes to achieving Millennium Development Goal 7, Target 10, which calls for the halving of the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation by 2015.
10. The project was a key urban infrastructure initiative of the Jilin provincial government (JPG) for improving the quality of the urban environment in Changchun and Yanji. It was intended to help achieve the goals of the Songhua River Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Plan (2006-2010) and the Regional Cooperation and Development Plan for the Tumen River Basin which were proclaimed by the State Council as national priorities. The project design was also consistent with the environmental objectives of the national, provincial and municipal 11th FYPs (2006-2010) of the PRC, Jilin province and Changchun and Yanji cities.

The PRC 11th FYP set forth the overall goal of building a resource-efficient and environment-friendly society. The specific targets included the reduction of energy intensity by 20% and of major water and air emissions by 10% over the five-year period. The PRC 11th FYP for environmental protection and ecological construction (2006-2010) proposed seven priorities that covered, among other things, water pollution control, air pollution control and urban environmental protection 7. With respect to the urban environment, the specific mandatory targets for the 11th FYP for environmental protection and ecological construction included increasing the rate of centralized urban wastewater treatment from 48.4% (2005 baseline) to 70%, the rate of sanitary disposal of urban solid wastes from 54% to 60%, rate of water supply sources for key cities meeting the national standards from 70.9% to 80%, and the rate of key cities having air quality better than class II for more than 292 days from 69.4% to 70%.
11. The project represented a continuation of ADB’s sustained involvement in the SRB. In 2002, during the processing of the Harbin Water Supply Project8, extensive dialogue was conducted with the government on addressing pollution control in the SRB. Consequently, ADB provided a technical assistance (TA) project for the Songhua River Water Quality and Pollution Control Management.9 The highly successful TA project, among others, provided strategic policy inputs to the PRC’s SRB Water Pollution Prevention and Control Plan (2006-2010). ADB’s active policy dialogue and engagement with the Government on integrated water resource management and pollution control in the SRB has led to identification and prioritization of key wastewater treatment investment projects to help reduce pollution in the SRB. In 2005, ADB supported the implementation of the SRB program by approving its first loan of $100 million for the Jilin Water Supply and Sewerage Development Project (JWSSDP)10 directly addressing pollution control in the SRB, particularly by helping Changchun city significantly increase its wastewater treatment capacity. It is followed by three new ADB major investments, including the Jilin Urban Environmental Improvement Project (i.e., this project, 2008-2013), the Songhua River Basin Pollution Control and Management Project (SRBWPCMP) 11 under implementation (2009-2014) and the Jilin Urban Services Improvement Project (JUSIP) under active preparation for commencement of implementation in 2014.
12. The Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) assessed the technical, environmental, financial, economic, social, and institutional feasibility of the project. The PPTA identified institutional strengthening and capacity building measures, including training and policy reforms on project management, wastewater management, solid waste management, water supply, central heating, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the project and related facilities. The PPTA outputs recommended the least-cost solution to develop wastewater treatment, solid waste management, effluent reuse, water supply and central heating facilities in Changchun

4. Implementation of the EMP
4.1 Objectives
28. The objective of establishing the EMP was not only to propose appropriate mitigation measures, but also to recommend establishment of institutions or mechanisms to monitor and ensure compliance with environmental regulations and implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. Such institutions and mechanisms enabled the continuously improving environmental protection activities during preconstruction, construction, and operation for the purpose of preventing, reducing, or mitigating the adverse impacts. The EMP drew on the individual EIA reports and on the PPTA discussions and agreements with the relevant government agencies.
29. An evaluation of the implementation of the EMP is summarized in the following sections.
4.2 Implementation of Mitigation Measures
30. The important aspects of the implementation of mitigation measures are highlighted as follow.
4.2.1 Implementation of Environmental Clauses in Civil Works Contracts
31. All civil works contracts contained provisions on workers’ and community, environmental protection and protection of physical and cultural relics. The environmental clauses are summarized below.
Workers’ and Community Safety 32. The contractors took precautionary measures to ensure workers’ safety. Protective equipment was worn at all times for any person entering the construction site. Safety training was undertaken for workers and staff. According to PRC labour law, the contractor has full responsibility for medical care and compensation in case of bodily harm to any worker. The contractor is also responsible for any bodily harm and property damage caused by construction activities on site or in the vicinities, including land occupation. The project complied with the PRC regulatory labor requirements.
33. The contractors strengthened safety management, especially in regard to the use of flammables, explosives, toxic and corrosive substances. A requirement for an emergency preparedness and response plan was included in all construction contracts.
Environmental Protection 34. The contractors complied with all relevant laws and regulations on environmental protection, and took precautionary measures to minimize any potential impact on the environment. They were responsible for restoring and rehabilitating the environment to its original state at its own costs. Pollution control measures were implemented.
35. Construction wastewater, sewage from workers’ camps and solid wastes were treated and disposed of properly so as not to cause any damage to the environment, drinking water sources and public health. The spoils were disposed
17 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2360-PRC: JILIN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT EIGHTH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (COVERING 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2013) such that they do not obstruct flood ways and risk public safety. All slopes were protected with retention walls, proper drainage systems and vegetation to avoid geological hazards. Noise, dust, air emissions, wastewater and waste oils were controlled to minimize annoyance to local communities.
Physical and Cultural Relics 36. According to PRC law, all physical and cultural relics discovered at the construction sites are owned by the state. The contractor is responsible for reporting any such discoveries immediately to the local relics protection authority and in the meantime immediately inform the construction supervision agency. The contractor is responsible for taking effective measures to protect the unearthed physical and cultural relics. The contractor is held responsible for any loss of damage to the discovered relics, and prosecuted for any delayed and fraudulent reporting. No physical and cultural relics were discovered at any construction site.
4.2.2 Pollution Control Measures
Construction Wastewater 37. The major pollutant in construction wastewater was suspended solids. At the construction sites, settlement ponds were used to retain the sediments in the construction wastewater before they were discharged into municipal storm sewers. The settlement ponds were cleaned when they were filled up with sediments. Tires of construction vehicles were cleaned with water sprays before they left the construction site. Since the construction sites were located in urban areas, the sewage from construction camps was discharged directly into the municipal sewerage network which in turn was transmitted to the municipal sewage treatment plant.
Air Pollution Control 38. The major sources of air emissions were construction equipment and construction vehicles. The vehicles delivering granular and/or fine materials to the sites were covered with tarpaulin sheets. Overloading of these vehicles was avoided. Vehicle speeds were controlled on construction sites. Construction vehicles and machinery were certified to comply with the national emission and safety standards. Besides, proper maintenance of vehicles and diesel equipment, and avoidance of unnecessary running of vehicle and equipment engines were adopted to reduce emissions.
39. All the roads on the construction sites were sprayed by water trucks to suppress dust, according to a daily schedule and taking weather conditions into consideration. These roads were kept clean, solid, smooth, and clear of all dust, mud, or extraneous materials dropped from transportation vehicles. The construction sites were enclosed by the appropriate walls and sprayed with water twice a day. Dust suppression equipment was installed in concrete-batching plants. Materials storage sites were sited 300 m from residential areas. The materials in the storage sites, such as separate stone and sand materials, were organized; concrete was stored in separate storage place and the on-site storage time was minimized. The transportation distance from the storage site to the construction site was optimized to minimize disturbance to local communities.
40. When construction took places during dry and windy days, water was sprayed on earth piles and exposed surfaces to suppress dust. Construction was stopped during strong winds and the stockpile was covered.
Noise Control
18 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2360-PRC: JILIN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT EIGHTH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (COVERING 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2013)
41. Construction facilities and equipment included bulldozers, air picks, air compressors, excavators, graders, stabilizers, concrete mixers, drills, stone-crushing and screening, rollers, poker vibrations, concrete pumps, loading machines, and other heavy machineries. The noise intensity levels of these machines are listed in the following table.
Table 6: Noise Intensity of Heavy Machines on the Construction Site Machinery Noise Level Machinery Noise Level Bulldozer 78~96 Concrete-mixer 75~88 Air hammer 80~98 (≥ten tons) 85~94 Concrete-crushing machine 80~90 Excavator 80~93 Unit: dB(A).
42. It is estimated that noise intensity from these activities were in the range of 75~105 dB (A). The noise levels were calculated according to the noise source intensity and distance from the noise source. The results are shown in the following table.

The sound reduction function of the hoardings is not considered in the calculation; ii) limit refers to the Noise Limits for Construction Site (GB12523-90); and iii) unit is dB(A).
43. The contractors undertook a series of measures to reduce noise levels. Equipment that generated low levels of noise was selected, and all machinery was properly maintained to minimize noise. Noise reduction devices or methods (e.g., hoarding) were applied where piling equipment was operating within 500 m of sensitive sites such as schools. Concrete-mixing plants and similar activities were located at least 300 m away from sensitive areas such as residences, schools, and hospitals. To reduce noise at night, the operation of machinery generating high levels of noise, such as piling, was restricted to between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. in accordance with PRC regulations. The movement of heavy vehicles along urban and village roads was also restricted to between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Solid Waste Management 44. Small quantities of garbage from construction camps was collected by the municipal sanitation bureau and disposed of in the municipal sanitary landfills.
Soil Erosion Control 45. The civil works contractors took measures to control soil erosion. Soil erosion measures during construction included minimizing land surface disturbance
19 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2360-PRC: JILIN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT EIGHTH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (COVERING 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2013) and exposure and use of settlement ponds. Upon completion of construction, all the construction sites were re-vegetated with trees and grasses.
46. The implementation status of the mitigation measures, as proposed in the SEIA, is presented in the right column of the Table 8 (at the end of this chapter). In summary, the mitigation measures were implemented effectively.
4.3 Implementation of Environmental Monitoring Program
47. Internal environmental monitoring consisted of two types. The first type required field sampling and lab analysis that was undertaken by a licensed environmental institute (LEI), for such environmental parameters such water quality, air quality and noise levels. The second type included visual inspections of such things as soil erosion, restoration of vegetation, solid waste disposal and so on. The field sampling and lab analysis was conducted, according to the environmental monitoring program as stipulated in the SEIA, by the Changchun municipal environmental monitoring station (CEMS) and Yanji municipal environmental monitoring station (YEMS) under contract to the IAs. Field inspections were undertaken by the on-site environmental engineers (OEEs) of the contractors, EMU officers and provincial and municipal PMO officers on a regular basis.
48. External monitoring was undertaken by the environmental safeguard specialists of the loan implementation consultancy. The external monitor was responsible for advising the provincial and municipal PMOs, IAs, CEMS, YEMS and construction contractors on the environmental monitoring requirements, reviewing the monitoring activities and results, and assisting the PMOs and IAs to meet the environmental reporting requirements.
49. The detailed results of field sampling and lab analysis are presented in the ensuing chapter.
4.4 Implementation of Disclosure, Consultation and Grievance Redress
4.4.1 Information Disclosure
50. A project information bulletin board was erected at each construction site. The bulletin board contained a description about the project, layout map, construction safety, labour standards, environmental and health standards, name of the contractor(s) and names and contact information of the on-site managers and company executives.
4.4.2 Public Consultation and Grievance Redress
51. At the beginning of project implementation, a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) was established. The environmental officers in provincial and municipal PMOs and EMUs also served as the grievance focal points (GFPs). The GFPs visited construction sites on a regular basis. During the site visits, the GFPs interviewed the local residents living near the construction sites. The informal interviews focused on public complaints about community annoyances from construction activities, such as construction noise and dust, as well as public concerns about the environment and resettlement.
20 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2360-PRC: JILIN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT EIGHTH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (COVERING 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2013)
52. Contact information for the contractor and on-site project managers was posted at each construction site. Public complaints and concerns could also be channelled through the 24-hour hotlines of the two municipal EPBs (“12369” – common number country-wide). The two municipal EPBs also have online complaints buttons in their webpages.
53. According to information from the two municipal EPBs, EMUs/IAs and OEEs/construction contractors, no complaint were received through the formal grievance mechanisms. The other consultation activities, including informal interviews during site visits and workshops, received a series of comments and suggestions from the local residents. The status of the implementation of the public consultation program is summarized in Table 9 (at the end of this chapter).
54. During this report period, the PMOs organized the project-completion public satisfaction surveys on the project’s environmental performance. The results are included in Appendix 2. The questionnaire results showed that the local residents approved of the environmental performance and were satisfied with the project’s environmental benefits. The local residents were also satisfied with the implementation of the mitigation measures that reduced the adverse impacts, such as noise and dust, to acceptable levels. Overall, the public expressed approval of and support to the project.
55. During this report period, a project-completion beneficiaries workshops also have been held in Changchun and Yanji. The results of the workshops are summarized in Appendix 3.
4.5 Fulfillment of Environmental Responsibilities
56. The environmental responsibilities outlined in the EMP were by and large fulfilled, albeit with occasional slight delays in environmental monitoring and reporting. The status of fulfillment of environmental responsibilities is summarized in Table 10 (at the end of this chapter).
57. As of today, four of seven subprojects have been completed the project- completion environmental audit in accordance with the Management Regulations for Examining and Approving Environmental Protection Facilities of Construction Projects (2001), and the remaining three subprojects are proposed to complete the audits in the second half of 2013: September 2013 for Changchun No. 5 WTP, August 2013 for Changchun Dongnan WWTP and August 2013 for Yanji Effluent Reuse. The detailed schedules of the environmental audits for the subprojects are shown in Table 11 (at the end of this chapter).
4.6 Environmental Benefits
58. The project is rated effective in achieving its expected outcome, which is improved water supply, wastewater management, solid waste management, and efficient central heating in Changchun and Yanji. Changchun had four WTPs with a total capacity of 860,000 m3/day, in short of average daily demand of 900,000 m3/day and the maximum daily demand of 993,000 m3/day, causing some areas to suffer from low water pressure. The No. 5 WTP will effectively improve the water supply services corresponding to urbanization of Changchun by increasingly supplementing water supply capacity up to 300,000 m3/day. The Dongnan WWTP will expand the wastewater treatment services in Jingyue Development Zone and the southern new development area, thereby reducing pollution loads in the Yitong River. The sanitary
21 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2360-PRC: JILIN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT EIGHTH ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (COVERING 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2013) landfill has expanded sanitary disposal of domestic solid wastes to the entire 3.68 million urban residents of Changchun, and helped achieve the solid waste management coverage target of 95%.
59. In Yanji, the water demand was estimated at 135,000 m3/day in 2012, compared to the supply capacity of 100,000 m3/day from the existing WTP. Several districts suffered from low water pressure or lack of portable water. The newly built Yanji WTP with a capacity of 60,000 m3/day effectively addressed the water shortage and low pressure problems for the city, particularly the 170,000 urban residents in the northern and eastern districts. The Yanji effluent reuse WWTP of 50,000 m3/day will not only contribute to improving wastewater management but also to increasing resources reuse by reusing the treated effluent as cooling water for a thermal power plant in Yanji. The two central heating networks in Yanji enabled the replacement of 329 small, inefficient and highly polluting boilers with more energy-efficient and stable central heating system in an expanded coverage area.
60. The strengthened capacity to manage water supply, wastewater, solid wastes and central heating has led significant environmental and social benefits, including the improvement of surface water and ambient air quality, and improvements in solid waste management, central heating, water supply and public health. The project’s main environmental benefits are described below:
61. The Changchun Dongnan WWTP (100,000 m3/day) will remove 6,205 t/a of BOD, 11,315 t/a of COD, 912.5 t/a of NH3-N, 912.5 t/d of total nitrogen (TN), 200.8 t/a of total phosphorus (TP) and 8,395 t/a of total suspended solids (TSS). The water quality objective for Yitong and Yongchun rivers is likely to be achieved in the next few years, with the full operation of Changchun Dongnan WWTP and other WWTPs gradually coming on line in the watershed.
62. The Yanji effluent reuse treatment plant (50,000 m3/day) will remove 182 t/a of BOD, 547.5 t/d of COD and 219 t/a of NH3-N. Together with expanded sewer collection system, it will contribute to improving the water quality of the Buerhatong river in Yanji.
63. The heating subcomponents in Yanji provide heating to 16.72 million m2 and replace 329 small, inefficient coal-fired boilers, reducing air emissions (including TSP by 11,247 t/a and SO2 by 4,425 t/a) and thus helping improve local air quality. The number of days with air quality meeting class II of the PRC Ambient Air Quality Standards (GB 3095-2012) increased from 285 in 2006 to 334 by 2012.

5. Environmental Monitoring
5.1 Introduction
64. Environmental monitoring involves two levels: (i) regular internal environmental monitoring carried out by the contractors and supervised by the construction supervision engineers at sites at all time; and (ii) periodical external environmental monitoring by the municipal environmental monitoring stations which take samples and conduct analysis according to the stipulated procedures and guidelines.
65. Internal monitoring is primarily qualitative, based on visual observations, as a tool to supplement external monitoring. On the other hand, external monitoring is quantitative and serves as a legal obligation to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
66. For this reporting period, environmental monitoring is required for the following subprojects: Changchun Dongnan WWTP, Changchun No. 5 WTP and Distribution Mains, Yanji WTP and Network Upgrade and Expansion, and Yanji Effluent Reuse and Sewerage Upgrade and Expansion. The results of the environmental monitoring are provided below.
5.2 Water Quality Monitoring
67. The surface water monitoring results for Changchun No. 5 WTP and Distribution Mains, Changchun Dongnan WWTP and Sewerage Networks, Changchun Domestic Solid Waste Management project, Yanji Effluent Reuse and Sewerage Upgrade and Expansion, and Yanji WTP and Network Upgrade and Expansion project components are provided below.
68. The surface water monitoring results have shown that no monitoring parameters violated the applicable standards .

70. Air quality monitoring results show that mostly data were within the standard levels and a few parameters violated the standards occasionally, which were considered related to other pollution sources and temporary weather conditions. The project impacts were minor.
5.4 Noise Monitoring
71. Noise monitoring results for the Changchun No. 5 WTP, Changchun Dongnan WWTP, Changchun Domestic Solid Waste Management, Yanji WTP, and Yanji Effluent Reuse subprojects are presented below. They have shown that the noise levels were within the standard levels for day and night time. The noise levels in the north side of the Changchun No. 5 WTP violated the standards slightly; this was largely attributable to the regular urban activities, especially traffic.

6. Conclusion and Recommendations
72. During construction, the contractors complied with the provisions of the EMP. Mitigation measures were effectively implemented. The residual impacts were insignificant. The environmental and social benefits have begun to emerge. The environmental monitoring plan was properly executed in accordance with that stipulated in the EMP. Four subprojects passed the project completion environmental audit by the respective municipal environmental protection bureau. Project completion environmental audit will be undertaken for the other three subprojects in the second half of this year. Internal and external environmental monitoring was undertaken on a regular basis; and the results have shown that the air, water and noise emissions during the construction and operational phases were in compliance with national regulatory standards and that the residual environmental impacts were insignificant.
73. Local communities and the general public were adequately consulted during construction and trial operation and formal operation, and their comments and suggestions were solicited and used to improve the environmental management practices. A project-completion public opinion survey and two beneficiaries workshops, one in each city, were conducted. The results of the surveys and workshops showed that there were no public complaints about the environmental, health and safety aspects of the project and that the public and local communities were satisfied with the implementation of the mitigation measures and approved of the project. The environmental reporting requirements were met. The roles and responsibilities of the relevant institutions for environmental management, including the contractors, IAs, EA, municipal EPBs, municipal environmental monitoring stations, ADB and loan implementation consultants, were adequately fulfilled.
74. The project has begun to generate environmental and social benefits. The data have showed that the project has resulted in the increases in the capacities of clean and stable water supply, wastewater treatment, solid waste management and central heating. They are in turn contributing to improved water and air quality and public health, which will increase over time as the subprojects come to full operation. The improved quality of the environment has also greatly facilitated direct investment in Changchun and Yanji cities. The successful operation of all the facilities have optimized the overall local environmental management system, which could be set as a good example for the other urban environmental improvement projects. What’s more, all facilities constructed under the project have extended to the larger population’s awareness of protecting the living environment.
75. It is recommended that the project-completion environmental audits for the remaining subprojects (Changchun No. 5 WTP, Changchun Dongnan WWTP and Yanji Effluent Reuse) be completed in time. In the unlikely case of any subproject not passing the audit, the ADB should be informed of corrective action.
76. The project is one of the series of interventions by ADB in the past decade to improve the pollution control and water quality management in the Songhua river basin through the use of an integrated river basin management approach. The successes and lessons learned from the project can be of good reference to other developing member countries. It is recommended that ADB work with the Government to capture these successes stories and showcase them to other developing member countries.
