2. Ecological effects and measures for soil and water conservation

The ecological influence resulted from the construction of power plant can be eliminated by technical of ecological restoration. Ecological restoration Relative to destruction of ecological balance. It means that the destroyed ecological could be restored its original state.However, it does not mean that ecological system can be restored to the original state on any account because of the complexity of natural conditions. The most essential purpose is to restore the system function and to obtain independent maintain state.

2.1 Ecological impact recognition

The main body of the project has completed. The entier construction zones are divided into five categories according to the actual effect caused by engineering, various part of geomorphic types within the scope of construction, the main body of the project layout , characteristics of soil and water loss, and the use directions after Land management ,which are as follows: (1) roads prevention zones during construction period: 1# 、3# ~4# 、5# 、6# 、8#. (2) prevention zones of slag yard: 1# ~8# (3) prevention zones of construction plant: reservoir area with incoming water, Underground system areas and reservoir area with outlet water. (4) prevention zones of stock yard :Qingnao stock yard,aonao stock yard and outlet reservoir stone pit. (5) green area: green area1~4 According to the survey, Project construction influence was primarily reflected in the regional vegetation , the landscape, regional soil and water loss. (1) The impact on vegetation and landscape In the construction process, digging or filling the original the ground caused by various engineering activities that including body engineering construction, soil field, materials piled , transportation, temporary camps building , the field mining

Hebei University of Science and Technology & Hebei Tiandi-chaoyang Environmental Technology Co. Ltd -9- Environmental Management & Ecological Assessment Report for Zhanghewan Pumped Storage Project,2010-2011 and so on, had resulted in the change of soil and soil supply capacity of change, the decressement of the plant production capacity ,which leading to the decline of ecosystem function. the crops, trees and flowers around will covered with dust from construction and transport vehicles, then it may influence its photosynthesis. leading to the reduce of crops and fruit production and the nornal growth of green plants , and that will inevitably destory local plats in some degree,and change the local landscape, which influencing the natural landscape. (2) Water and soil loss Water and soil loss caused by the factors below: Natural, artificial, favorable and unfavorable.Precipitation conditions, vegetation coverage, soil properties, topography, the four natural factors directly influence soil erosion .And artificial factor influence soil erosion by changing the four natural factors. Project construction cause damage to natural vegetation.first,there will inevitably have impact on surface soil which can strongly resist erosion.Next, soil relaxation ,due to Cut and Fill, provide potential energy to soil loss. In addition, a series of engineering behaviors, like the excavation of earth roadbed, borrowing, sand quarrying, temporary facilities and construction pavement, change surface morphology ,which result in the increasement possibility of soil and water loss.

2.2 Ecological restoration measures suggested in EIA report

Ecological restoration measures in this project includes planningsoil and water conservation program,and determining the ecological restoration program and the target range. To prevent incresement water and soil loss,it shoule take measures to form a complete protective system which is engineering measures and plant measures combined, and "point, line, surface," combined. As for the implementation of soil and water conservation measures, "three simultaneous" system shoule be taken to reach the goal of controling soil erosion rate of 95% or more.It should establish
