It summarizes the main issues and conclusions of EIA and the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of the project. According to Chinese EIA laws and World Bank Operational Policy OP4.01 Environmental Assessment, the proposed project is Category A for environmental assessment purpose, due to the scale and significance of the potential environmental and social impacts, the size and nature of the project activities, and the sensitivity of the project areas. Accordingly, a full environmental assessment was conducted. Anhui Provincial Environmental Science Institute (APESI) prepared the project EIA by then project owner Fuyang Port and Navigation Bureau (FPNB) at the project feasibility study stage. The EIA report was approved by Anhui Provincial Environmental Protection Department in 2008. Since then, the project ownership has been transferred to Anhui Provincial Port and Shipping Construction Investment Cooperation (APPSCIG), which engaged Shanghai Ship and Shipping Research Institute (SSSRI) for EA preparation in 2009. SSSRI holds Class A environmental impact assessment accreditation from the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), and was the EA consultant for a number of previous World Bank funded projects in China, including the latest Hubei YiBa Highway Project. An EIA and EMP were prepared following relevant provisions specified in Chinese EIA law/regulations and technical guidelines as well as World Bank safeguard policies. The Executive Summary is based on these reports, as well as feasibility studies, design and relevant survey carried out for the project. The EIA and EMP reports cover the river channel, silt disposal area, service and anchorage areas, bridges to be removed and reconstructed, and all construction related infrastructure such as worker camps. The EIA and EMP also address indirect and cumulative impacts resulting from ports and ship gates that are not included in the proposed project. The EIA and EMP were submitted to the World Bank for review and were considered conform fully to Bank policy guidelines regarding environmental and social issues. All above reports have been made available in China and in the Public Information Center (INFOSHOP) of the World Bank on August 11, 2010. Project Development Objective The development objectives of the proposed Project are: (a) to increase the transport carrying capacity and throughput of the Shaying River; (b) to improve the cost-efficiency of the shipping industry using the River; and (c) to improve the management of navigation and its environmental impacts on the River. 1 EIA Executive Summary of ANHUI SHAYING RIVER CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Environmental Assessment Process and Legal Framework A full Environmental Assessment (EA) was carried out following the Chinese environmental assessment laws/regulations as well as the World Bank Safeguards Policies. Of the ten safeguard policies, the following ones are triggered: (1) OP/BP4.01 Environmental Assessment; (2) OP/BP4.04 Natural Habitats; and (3) OP/BP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement. Compliance with these policies, and the World Bank’s disclosure of information policy, is summarized in Table 1. The project is also in full compliance with environmental policies, regulations and technical guidelines in China, as summarized in Table 2.

It has created “Ningguo Miracle” since 1990s. Its general economic capacity has been ranked #1 (the first) among all the counties or cities in Anhui Province since 2000. In order to analyze the influencing factors of competitive advantages of Ningguo City and explain “Ningguo Miracle”, this article have evaluated, analyzed and classified the general economic competitiveness of 61 counties (cities) in Anhui Province in 2004, by 14 indexes of evaluation index system. The result showed that compared with other counties (cities) in Anhui Province, Ningguo City has more advantages in competition. The competitive advantage of Ningguo City is due to the productivities, the effect of the second industry and industry, and the investment of fixed assets. Then the influencing factors of Ningguo’s competitiveness in terms of productivity were analyzed with authoritative data since 1990 and a log linear regression model was established by stepwise regression method. The results demonstrated that the key influencing factor of Ningguo City’s competitive advantage was the change of industry structure, especially the change of manufacture structure.

    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 28, No. 6 (2019), 4495-4502 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/94992 ONLINE PUBLICATION DATE: 2019-07-30 Original Research Assessing Heavy Metal Pollution in Surface Sediments of China’s Shaying River Kaisheng Zhou* Geographical Science School of Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, China Center of Environment Science Experiment, Bengbu University, Bengbu, China Received: 24 June 2018 Accepted: 8 September 2018 Abstract To comprehend the contamination levels of heavy metals in surface sediments of Shaying River (Anhui Section, China), samples of sediments were collected using grab samplers in 14 sampling sites in the river. Chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) in sediments were monitored via flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, and arsenic (As) via atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo), pollution load index (PLI), and potential ecological risk index (RI) were applied to evaluate the sediment pollution of the five heavy metals. The results indicate that the mean concentration levels (range) of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As in sediments were 58.38 (29.89-116.66), 5.41 (3.14-10.93), 38.51 (23.77-60.83), 35.10 (19.28-82.21), and 0.44 (0.13-1.46) mg/kg, respectively. The mean Igeo values of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As were -0.69, 5.41, 0.36, -0.13, and -4.84, respectively. i The average potential ecological coefficients E( r ) of Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, and As were 1.95, 324.70, 6.42, 7.02, and 0.29, respectively. The RI values of the five heavy metals ranged from 197.65 to 687.24, and the mean was 340.38.

China has 123,000 km of navigable waterways, of which 61,000 km are officially classified for commercial navigation purposes. Most of the commercial waterways are well positioned to link the prosperous eastern coastal regions, which have increasing demand for raw materials, with the resource-rich but less- developed inland and western regions. This mutually beneficial connection helps to achieve the nation’s central and western development strategies. 2. China’s inland waterway transport (IWT) industry already handles about the same volume of freight as the USA and the EU waterways combined. Accelerated economic growth in China is generating a greater demand for the transport of coal, construction materials and other Public Disclosure Authorized bulk materials and goods.

Given the disease’s significant impact nationwide, the epidemiological characteristics and spatio-temporal clusters in Fuyang from 2008 to 2013 were analysed in this study. The disease exhibits strong seasonality with a rising incidence. Of the reported HFMD cases, 63·7% were male and 95·2% were preschool children living at home. The onset of HFMD is age-dependent and exhibits a 12-month periodicity, with 12-, 24- and 36-month-old children being the most frequently affected groups. Across the first 60 months of life, children born in April [relative risk (RR) 8·18], May (RR 9·79) and June (RR 8·21) exhibited an elevated infection risk of HFMD relative to January-born children; the relative risk compared with the reference (January-born) group was highest for children aged 24 months born in May (RR 34·85).
