Prepared a new coronary pneumonia prevention and emergency plan for the project construction site management, personnel return management and epidemic situation monitoring and disposal, and established a protection and emergency leadership group to strictly monitor the entire resumption process to ensure the normal production of the project and the order of life of employees .

1.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND GOALS

Huangshi Municipal Government (HMG) has requested a sum of USD 100 million loan from Asian Development Bank (ADB) with the purpose to promote environmental sustainable and socioeconomically inclusive urban development in Huangshi, Hubei Province, by upgrading the city’s urban environmental infrastructure and services. The loan project is named “Hubei Huangshi Urban Pollution Control and Environmental Management Project” (hereinafter referred to as “the Project”), and the loan was approved by ADB in February 2013.

In accordance with ADB’s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants, the Huangshi Project Management Office (hereinafter referred to as “the Client” or “PMO”) has appointed the association between SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. and SGS China Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “SGS”) to undertake the External Environment Monitor service (Consulting Services Contract #: P-CB03) for the Project (hereinafter referred to as “the Assignment”), in order to evaluate the overall environmental performance of the Project and ensure proper implementation of the EMP.

The Project is set in Huangshi, southeastern Hubei Province, 80 kilometers southeast of Wuhan, the provincial capital1. The city is spread over floodplain on the south bank of the Yangtze River, having developed around three lakes: Ci, Qingshan, and Qinggang. In 2010, the population of the municipality was 2.43 million, with 765,000 living in the urban area2. Huangshi's initial development was based on mining, and its associated secondary industries have driven the city's economic development. Resource depletion and the need for more balanced and sustainable development prompted the Huangshi municipal government to renew the city by upgrading its industry, relocating polluting industries outside of the central urban area, and developing tertiary industries and an enabling investment environment. This will help Huangshi strengthen its development potential as a core secondary city in Hubei Province, supporting balanced regional development in the province. Huangshi is a part of the "Wuhan+8 megacity cluster," which the government promotes as a pilot administrative zone for balanced, environment-friendly economic development within the cluster.

Huangshi faces environmental and urban development challenges reflecting its historical reliance on heavy industry and inadequate investment in urban infrastructure. General neglect of urban pollution allowed untreated industrial and domestic wastewater to flow into urban lakes. The city's solid waste management is inadequate and the sludge from wastewater

1 Huangshi is the 11th largest municipality in Hubei Province by population and 9th by gross domestic product. 2 Huangshi municipality has five urban districts (Huangshigang, Tieshan, Xialu, Xisaishan, and a development zone), one country-level city (Daye), and one county (Yangxin).

treatment plants is untreated. Urban channels and lakes are blocked by polluted sediments and accumulated solid waste. The three lakes in the city became polluted and degraded, endangering public health and safety, particularly for the poor who often live near polluted inland waterways and in areas with deficient urban services. Inadequate urban infrastructure constrains sustainable urban development and limits Huangshi's ability to promote investment and support balanced regional development in Hubei. The current environmental challenges ahead of Huangshi’s development roadmap can be divided into the following main categories:

Wastewater – An estimated 131,000 cubic meters of untreated urban wastewater is discharged daily into the city’s three lakes and the Yangtze River3. The project will support the rehabilitation and extension of the existing wastewater network system to remove misconnections and intercept urban wastewater more effectively, thereby improving collection efficiency and mitigating pollution loads into water bodies downstream. The Project will also support the construction of a new wastewater collection and treatment system to serve the newly developed urban area of Hexi.

Lake – Water quality in Huangshi’s three lakes is severely polluted, to class V or worse4. The lakes are affected by organic pollution, nutrients, and heavy metals. Sediments are highly contaminated with heavy metals, particularly near discharge points into lakes. The Project will support an integrated multifunctional approach to lake improvement that removes contaminated sediments, constructs engineered wetlands and lake embankments, and interconnects urban water bodies. These interventions are designed to (i) improve water quality, (ii) restore lake ecology and healthy hydraulic circulation, (iii) improve the lakes’ retention capacity and resilience under climate change, and (iv) enhance public amenity.

Sludge – The Project will tackle the emerging environmental challenge of handling the sludge generated in greater quantities as wastewater collection and treatment expands5. At present, untreated sludge is dumped directly to the municipal landfill. While supporting the treatment system for contaminated sludge in the short term, the Project will help the HMG develop a mid- and long-term strategic plan to reduce sludge production, stabilize its content, and find beneficial uses for it6.

Solid waste – Challenges facing solid waste management in Huangshi are (i) inefficient collection and transfer facilities, (ii) excessive waste generated without sorting or recycling, and (iii) inadequate disposal capacity for the volume. While the HMG will expand the capacity of disposal facilities to meet future demand, the Project will upgrade the existing collection and transfer system to enhance collection efficiency to comply with environmental standards,

3 The reported coverage rate of wastewater collection and treatment differs depending on the data source and calculation method. It is 71% based on the ratio of wastewater flowing into existing wastewater treatment plants (167,000 m3 per day) to total wastewater generation in the catchment (234,000 m3 per day). However, this does not indicate actual connectivity and collection in Huangshi, where many sewer networks are combined with storm water and misconnection and infiltration are common. A more representative method based on the pollution loads indicates a collection rate of 44%. 4 Two sampling tests during project preparation found sewage sludge contaminated with high concentrations of heavy metals and oil sands from industry, which limits its disposal and reuse. 5 In the first half of 2015 the Lake Circulation project was determined not to carry out, while in the second half of 2015 the Lake Circulation project was determined to continue carry out and not changed.

The intended project outcome is improved urban environmental infrastructure and management services in Huangshi. Meanwhile, the Project will as well help Huangshi (i) promote environmentally sustainable urban development; (ii) improving living standards by providing better urban services and a cleaner environment to urban residents, including the poor; and (iii) enhance inclusive socioeconomic growth with expanded tertiary industries, an attractive investment environment, and more employment.

In addition, the Project will also (i) demonstrate an integrated approach to urban pollution control and environmental management that combines reducing upstream pollution loads by rehabilitating and extending wastewater and solid waste systems with improving downstream water quality by rehabilitating lake ecology and hydraulic circulation, which will significantly improve water quality in the three lakes; (ii) analyze the cumulative impact of pollution loads and modeling of surface water circulation to support the design of the Project; and (iii) pilot a scheme for solid waste sorting and recycling with community participation that will show, albeit on small scale, the reduce-reuse-recycle approach. The pilot scheme will be replicated in other communities in Huangshi. The project also has great potential to polluted and blocked urban lakes in other small and medium-sized cities along the Yangtze and elsewhere in PRC.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLANS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING RESPONSIBILITIES

The environmental monitoring plans are included in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of this project. They are established with regard to each part of engineering activities and are specified with parameters, time and frequencies, implementing and supervising agencies, and budgets.

The environmental monitoring plans are intended to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmentally acceptable way, covering both constructional and operational phases. According to the requirements of EMP, environmental monitoring should be carried out simultaneously in two ways during the implementation of this project:

1) Internal monitoring and inspection – Project EAs shall entrust construction management agencies to carry out internal monitoring and inspection during construction, thereby ensure the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. Results of the internal monitoring and inspection should be recorded in detail and reported to the contractor, PIUs and EAs. During operation, the owner and operators of the properties will be responsible for internal monitoring, inspections and reporting to Huangshi PMO. Progress reports shall be submitted to PMO, including data from environmental monitoring and inspection which is collected by construction management agencies.

2) Compliance monitoring and inspection – A qualified 3rd party environmental monitoring agency will be responsible for periodical and random environmental monitoring during construction, operation, and emergencies. If the results are found to exceed relevant standards, a notice on rectification within a certain time limit will be issued by HEPB. This agency will submit monitoring reports twice every year to PMO, HEPB, HPEPB and EAs.

5.2 TARGET OF ENVIRONMENTAL QULIATY AND METHODS FOR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS

According to the requirements of EMP, a cost analysis breakdown should be provided when preparing detailed environmental monitoring procedures at the beginning of implementation of the project. All monitoring activities should be in accordance with methods provided in corresponding national environmental monitoring standards. Other relevant standards include national environmental quality standards, emission/discharge standards, and internationally recognized standards provided by WB EHS guides. Table 5.1 provides list of relevant standards.

Further to the EEM site visit carried out in June 2015, the visit summary found that the Contractor and Construction Supervision Company (CSC) units general lacked understanding and knowledge on the environmental management requirement and environmental management plan of ADB projects. In this regard, SGS and ESD recommended PMO to organize a purpose-built training on environment management to ensure better implementation of environmental management plan in all subprojects.

The training was organized on 20th July 2015, with environmental experts of ESD and SGS to speak on ADB’s environmental policy and requirement, and the non-compliance findings identified during SGS’s site visit. The training targeted representatives from IAs, Contractors and CSC. The aim was to strengthen the management awareness on environmental protection and management, and a detailed guidance on the implementation of the EMP.

All the training items of the upcoming training plan were completed.
