2.2 General environmental situation along the line
2.2.1 General situation of natural environmental Ganzhou-Longyan Railway is from Ganzhou to Longyan, along 319 and 323
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 5 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway national road, passes through south Jiangxi Province and west Fujian Province. Topography along the line is mainly medium and low hill areas, valleys, most of which is densely covered with vegetation. The line passed the Wuyi Mountain where Jiangxi Province and Fujian Province meet and water is divided into two different systems. West side of the Wuyi Mountain in Jiangxi Province is belonged to Gongshui water system, which is a branch of Ganjiang River. Boping Mountain and Daiyun Mountain are the watersheds in Fujian Province, from west food of the mountains to Wuyi Mountain belongs to water system of Dingjiang River and east side belongs to water system of Jiujiang River. Impacted by the climate, topography, biology, parent rock and soil forming age, etc., soil types along the line are different, mainly as laterite, including loess, purple soil, limestone soil, meadow soil, chao soil and paddy soil, etc. Climate along the line belongs to wet subtropic monsoon area, warm in winter and hot in summer. Average temperature is between 15℃ and 19.9℃. Annual rainfall is between 1400 and 1800mm. Impacted by monsoon climate, monthly rainfall is not even, which is most during April and June equaling to 45~48% of a year. Vegetation resources along the line are rich, mainly as ever-green broad leave forest and monsoon broad leave forest, which are the highest communities among the vegetations in middle and south subtopic zone and have the highest stability and biggest ecological effectiveness. But because of over exploitation for a long time, most natural forests have disappeared, only can be found in rural mountain areas such as in Buyun and Plum blossom mountain Natural Protection Area, and boundary between Yanshi and Wan’an, etc. Vegetation coverage percent in Jiangxi Province is 49.1％～70.8％ and mainly as young forests. In some hilly places with serious soil erosion, vegetation coverage percent is below 10%. Forest coverage percent in Fujian Province is 76.4~81.9%, mainly as timber and firewood forest, but vegetation coverage around Hetian in Changding County is not good. There are few rare wild animals in Jiangxi Province but many wild animals in Fujian Province because of comparatively good ecological environment in large scale of mountain area in Fujian Province. But because of longtime irregular deforestation, forest resources were destroyed seriously. Together with irregular
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 6 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway killing and capture, amount of many wild animals has decreased greatly, some of which are tending to disappear, especially big carnivore. At the beginning after liberation, there were still South Chinese Tigers and Clouded Leopard, etc., which had threatened local living stocks. In the beginning of 1990s’, tigers occationally appeared at Huangzong and Heci area in Laiyuan County. Now we can only judge through the foot print and claw trace found in Plum blossom Mountain 20km away from the line that South Chinese Tiger still exists. According to surveys, there are 380 species, 229 genus and 79 families of land-inhabiting backbone animal, including 70 species, 42 genus and 20 families of beasts, 211 species, 135 genus and 41 families of birds, 70 species,40 genus and 10 families of reptiles and 30 species, 8 genuses and 8 families of amphibians.
2.2.2 Social Environment Situation Direct absorb areas of Ganzhou-Longyan Line are Ganzhou city in Jiangxi province and Longyan city in Fujian province, about 58367km2, with 1.073million porpulation, the density of which is 184persons per km2. Peasant porpulation is about 8.92million, account for 83.2% of the total. Agricultur has some dominance in the area and is the traditional domain. But because located in mountain areas, field is short compared with big porpulation, self food supply is not enough. Located in mountain areas, areas along the line own rich forestry resources and special forestry products. Thanks for good weather condition, the area also produces lots of economical crops like sugarcane, tobacco leave and orange, and Ganzhou city is famous for her oranges across China. Mineral resources in the area is very large, mainly as coal, iron, manganese, copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, troilite and salt ore, etc. At present, most of the ores have been exploited. The area owns some industrial background, but distribution of which is unbalanced. Industries and ores mainly distribute in Longyan and Ganzhou city area. Main industrial products include raw coal, pig iron, electricity, cement, synthetic ammonia and drinks, etc. Coal, metallurgy, electricity and building material industry are comparatively developed in Longyan city, which is an important energy and raw materials producing base. At present, there are 4 types of transportation through railway, highway, waterway and air. Railway and highway transport carry most of the freight, air transport only takes on a very small quantity of freigh.

There are many traveling resources in the area, natural and culture sights are both famous. At a distance of 45km from the railway, Yongding Siol building in Longyan is a world famous building. Guanzhishan Mountain, a nation-level scenery, is about 20km from the line. Longkong Cavity in Longyan, a province-level scenery, is about 30km from the line. Plum blossom Mountain, a nation-level natural protection area, is about 20km from the line. Lishi Ancestral Hall is about 30km from the line. All of the above forms a travel zone famous as “one building, one cavity, one area and one hall”. The Plum blossom Mountain natural protection area owns many sources of animals and plants, including 8 kinds of 1st class protective animal and 33 kinds of 2nd class of that. It is proved that the special kind of tiger, South Chinese Tiger, is also exit in the area. So it is called “a jade on the desert zone on the Tropic of Cancer” and “gene bank of animals and plants”. There are many revolution sites in west Fujian and south Jiangxi province. Ruijin Central Revolution Base Memorial is about 15km from the line, and Shanghang Gutian Meeting Memorial is about 10km away from the line. Both of them are listed in the 100 national demonstration bases for patriotism education. At present, because the travel resources have not been developed very well, together with inconvenient traffic, tourism in most of the area is need to be exploited.
3 Review of environmental protection in construction period
3.1 Environmental management of pre- construction period
3.1.1 Environmental protection before construction Ganzhou~Longyan Railway Construction Headquarters puts environmental impact report and contents involved in the environmental monitor plan into the tender document of the project, and the environmental protection measures as formal articles into the civil engineering contract during engineering bidding to be strictly implemented by the bidding sectors. In the early stage, pre-post training on environmental protection is provided for leaders in charge of environmental protection from the construction and supervision units of all tender sections as well as professional and part-time engineers. The experts from Oasis give lectures on laws and regulations of the
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 8 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway state and locality concerning environmental protection and soil preservation involved in the construction project; environmental protection problems advanced in design as well as measures and requirements for environmental protection during the construction period; major contents and requirements of the environmental impact appraisal report and environmental action plan; contents of environmental protection for the railway project during construction period and relevant regulations; contents concerning environmental monitor for Ganzhou~Longyan Railway Project.
3.1.2 Environmental protection in construction period Nanchang Railway Bureau Ganzhou~Longyan Railway Construction Headquarters and Shanghai Railway Bureau Ganzhou~Longyan Railway Construction Headquarters establish the environmental protection working systems respectively led by Executive Deputy Commander Li Yungen, Fu Siliang and with participants from the executives of all tender sections to take charge of environmental protection for Ganzhou~Longyan Railway during the construction period. See Figure 3-1 and 3-2. The construction tender sections formulate respective measures for environmental protection and soil preservation according to environmental monitor requirements, put environmental management into details, carry out the environmental protection personnel responsibility system, clarify their responsible areas, analyze the environmental pollution possibly met during construction, and formulate regulations on daily environmental monitor. In the process of construction, Ganzhou~Longyan Railway Construction Headquarters strictly carries out the laws and regulations of the state on environmental protection, ensures fulfillment of environmental protection measures and capital, check environmental protection and construction of the whole line regularly and irregularly, and conducts immediately correction and settlement of the environmental impact occurred during construction and requests advanced by Oasis Company through daily monitor. It also develops environmental protection activities on “Protect Ecological Environment and Construct Green Passage” over the whole line to enhance the consciousness of all the personnel on environmental protection and soil erosion. It asks all tender sections to set up slogans and boards concerning environmental protection (picture 1) and soil erosion on which the executives and telephone numbers of

3.2 Environmental monitoring during construction period
3.2.1 Contents and system of environmental monitoring Our company is responsible for seasonal environmental monitoring survey to construction sites. Construction units and supervision unit conduct daily monitoring in construction period. Data in different aspects was collected during the monitoring and monitoring report was addressed according to the field visit. Block diagram of environment monitoring system see figure 3-3. Their main monitoring contents include: retaining and protection of slag spoiling ground for tunnels and recovery of vegetation, disposal of spoiled slag during construction of bridge foundations, treatment measures of muddy water due to excavation of pier foundations, leveling, tillage restoring or grass planting situations of large borrow pits along the line, protection state of spoil ground, protection and vegetation recovery for roadbed slopes along the line, dust control of construction roads, garbage treatment, living sewage treatment and sanitation conditions in construction campsite, relics protection along the line, implementation state of protection measures for schools severely affected by noise along the line, etc.. Following aspects were the requirements to each construction unit by us as environmental monitoring unit: Require various concerning organizations to employ full-time environment protection persons. All full-time environment protection persons must have accepted special training on environment protection and they should be responsible to supervise and manage various environmental problems arising during production of their own organizations and assist environment management departments to well manage environment protection work. z Require various construction units to perform various environment protection statements in the construction contract. The construction units are required to work out appropriate environment protection measures according to environment protection requirements set forth in design documents, so as to protect the environment of construction sites and avoid and reduce environment pollution and damage due to inappropriate construction measures. Once any event to damage the environment happens, they should

3.2.2 Effects of environmental monitoring During the construction, all construction units earnestly carry out contract articles concerning environmental protection, organize construction in strict accordance with the design scheme, and basically synchronize roadbed consolidation and protection, tunnel slope and intercepting ditch protection, tunnel dump area protection, bridge cone protection, etc. with construction of the bulk project. The earth and rocks from tunnel and roadbed excavation shall try to be used for filling roadbeds and stations, processing slice stones or for construction of local villages, towns, and roads. Surplus tunnel slag is generally dumped on waste lands or slopes to reduce occupation of arable land. After dumping, level the surface for forestation or hand the land to local townships for house construction. There has been no slag (earth) area that collapses or coasts due to improper baffling. For construction of bridge piers in water, coffers are set up to prevent mud flowing into the river, the slag and earth are removed promptly after construction; the mud from borehole foundation is generally treated by temporary settling tank for cyclic use; after foundation construction, the mud in the settling tank is dried naturally and filled and compacted between the bridge piers to avoid secondary pollution. For turbid sewage from tunnel construction, different volumes of settling tanks are set up according to the water yield of the tunnel to guarantee certain period of detention and settle the suspended matter down. The construction unit at the outlet of Xiashan Tunnel builds a simple settling tank and the tunnel water becomes quite clear after going through three-level sedimentation, the drainage may satisfy requirements of grade 1 in the GB-8978-1996 Sewage comprehensive discharge standard, does not produce pollution over downstream river channels. To alleviate and prevent soil erosion from railway construction, protection of roadbeds, trenches, borrow-pits, and dump areas is strengthened during construction; seeds and turfs are grown on the slopes for forestation. Plants have a low survival rate in the region near Ganzhou~Longyan Line where it is dry, and the headquarters organizes the construction units to grow plants anew where the grass has dried up to prevent new soil erosion. Sewage treatment facilities have been built for the stations and they can take
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 16 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway sewage from station operation. Compensative measures for noise sensitive points had been implemented according to the EIA report. Large temporary projects, such as construction camps on the whole line, are mostly cleared according to requirements when the construction teams withdraw. Some have been handed over to the localities according to local governmental requests. Through environmental monitoring in construction period, construction units were supervised to control their constructive activity according to the requirement of environmental protection and strictly implement “three contemporary” system, which had effectively improved environmental protection work in construction period and implemented the mitigation measures in EIA report.
4 Survey of environmental protection measures in operational period
4.1 Ecological environment Ecological environmental impact survey of Ganzhou-Longyan railway include: side slope protection measures of subgrade; protection and recovery measures for borrow pit and waste disposal site; flooding and shore protection measures of bridges and culverts; station area afforestation measures and recovery measures of large-scale temporary projects.
4.1.1 side slope protection measures of subgrade Newly built subgrade of the railway is 185.5km, including embankment and cut. Embankment is the main engineering and totally 328 cuts with a total length of 38.5km. Generally, side slope of embankment is protected by grass, eg grass planting or grass planting with bush planting (picture 3 and 4); side slope of high embankment is protected by guard wall and arch-shaped framework with grass or tree planting; embankment near a river is protected by building gravity retaining wall on the pile foundation to maintain the shore, and slope is protected by dry laid stone fragments or grass; immerseable embankment is
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 17 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway protected by dealing with the foundation firstly through stone squeezing, and slope is protected by dry laid stone fragments or dry laid stone fragments plus grass. Side slope of cut is protected by retaining wall with foundation, gravity retaining wall or wet shotcreting (picture 5). Field visit showed side slopes of subgrades had been generally well protected by engineering or plant measures. Surface of slope is stable and soil erosion is not happened.
4.1.2 borrow pit and waste disposal site Ganzhou-Longyan railway passes mountain areas and hilly lands of west Fujian province and east Jiangxi province. Tunnel, embankment, bridge and culvert, cut, station are main engineering of the project. Total earth and rock work is about 4397×104m3, including 2622×104m3 of fill, 1775×104m3 of cut excavation and
377×104m3 of tunnel excavation. Earth from borrow pit is totally 994×104m3.
Spoiled earth disposed in waste disposal site is 288×104m3. Wastes from tunnels are 228×104m3.
(1) borrow pit
There are 77 borrow pits, earth from which is totally 994×104m3. Field visit mainly investigated distribution, borrowed quantity, occupied area, restoration and protection situation of typical borrow pits. Results of the survey were listed in table 4-1.

According to the field visit, excavations from some cuts were used as fills of embankments and cut-fill transition is balanced. Totally there were about 1479× 104m3 of excavations used as fills on the whole line. Typical excavations relocated as fills see picture12. cuts excavations were used to fill the Xiaochi Station. Locations of some borrow pits were combined with local plans. Flatted areas after borrowing were distributed to nearby villagers as household or development areas, eg. borrow pit against Shanghang Station, and borrow pit at front of Ruijin Station. Borrow pits along the line were generally adopted slope cutting, top flattening or refarming, etc. when earthwork finished, such as borrow pit at the right side of Xinquan Station, DK77+200 borrow pit, DK26+200 borrow pit, DK101+400 borrow pit, etc. Some of the borrow pits were rebuilt as fishpond, such as the DK87+600 borrow pit. (2) Waste disposal site There are 93 disposal site all together, including 42 earth discarding sites for 298 ×104m3 of cut spoils and 51 disposal sites for 228×104m3 of tunnel wastes. Survey results of the typical waste disposal sites see table 4-2.

It was found during the monitoring that tunnel wastes were effectively utilized, waste quantity and land occupy were decreased. For example, wastes from DK191+200 Jinhua tunnel were used in the building of Longchang Highway. Spoils from the Gutian tunnel entrance were used by local people as building material. According to the field visit, waste disposal site was allocated mainly at hilly farm, undeveloped land, river beach, and occupied as little farm as possible. Waste disposing is generally according to the principle of “protect first, then dispose”. The sites were chosen in hilly area, waste valley or a small amount of low-productive fields, which are depressions and difficult to be eroded by surface flow. These sites were protected by retained wall and tops of the wastes were flattened and planted with grass or recultivated. For example, grass was planted on the top of the wastes from exit side of Shenkeng 2# tunnel; fruit trees were planted on the waste site of DK118+800. Because lack of land, some of the waste disposal sites were utilized after built. For example, DK213+500 waste disposal site had been built into a bamboo mat factory; waste disposal site of Jiaoyang tunnel had built into a timber mill. 4.1.3 Protection situation of bridges There are 156 newly built bridges along the line, include 10 super major bridges, 131 major and medium bridges and 15 minor bridges, with a total length of 35766 meters. There are 1200 culverts with a total transverse length of 35571
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 20 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway meters. Because designing of the bridges and culverts is according to the principle of “no occupy of river channel” and “set culverts when meet with canals”, bridge/culvert ration of the line is relatively large, and its impact on surface water system is not obvious. A system of protection measure was adopted during the construction of bridges. For example, cofferdam was built when under-water pier constructed; mud from pile foundation was precipitated; excavation waste was temporarily protect; waste was cleared after work finished, etc. Field survey showed that construction of bridges has not made obvious impact on the environment of rivers and neighborhood. Survey showed quadrant revetments of abutments of the bridges were intact, and protection of riverbank was completed. For example, quadrant revetments of Diaozhongyan Super Major Bridge see picture 19 and that of Nanshan Major Bridge see picture 20. Cofferdams and wastes in the river had been cleared, and river channel had not been narrowed, see picture 21 of Liangfu 2# Major Bridge, cofferdam of which had been cleared. Spaces between piers had been recovered, see picture 22 of Jiangxia Super Major Bridge. 4.1.4 restoration of temporary projects Railway project has the character of lots of constructive sites, long line, large scale, long period, with many machinery as well as big work group in lining distribution. Temporary projects as lodging of workers, access roads, beam making sites, rail laying bases and sites for materials, etc. would occupy some land. Usually, these lands were rented, and compensated year by year according to the local policy, and restored after work finished. According to the survey, constructive camps of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway were mainly rented from local people. A small number of the camps located at rural mountain areas for tunnel and bridge construction were newly built. Most of the camps had been pulled off and the sites were recovered. Some relatively large and good camps were handed over to local government used as workshop. For example, the camp of Diaozhongyan super major bridge had been changed into a timber mill (picture 23). Beam making sites, rail laying bases and other constructive sites such as concrete mixing plants had been cleared. For example, rail laying base at Maodian Station had been recovered into constructive area of the station (picture 24). Most of the access roads had been handed over to local
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 21 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway
villages used as country roads and are convenient for the local people (picture 25). 4.1.5 Survey of stations
There are many natural and cultural landscape along the line, which was fully considered during designing of the new stations, and made the stations into a new scenery of local area. The survey showed that stations had fine and distinctive styles, station areas were planted with arbors, brushes and grasses, which not only beautified environment, but also improved environmental quality of station area. Especially the designing of Changding Station (picture 26), which is like a park and has become into a place of entertainment for the people of Changding County. 4.1.6 summary
Constructive units of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway paid attention to ecological protection, and had conducted according to EIA requirements. Fund used in ecological restoration and protection is relatively big and had obtained good effect by adopting the ecological measures as biological measures, engineering measures or both. 4.2 Acoustic environment 4.2.1 EIA report and implementation of its official reply comments The survey showed that constructive units of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway had adopted related noise mitigation measures to the sensitive places according to the EIA report and its official reply comments by the State Environmental Protection Administration. Implementation of the measures see table 4-3.

Elementary School, etc. 4.2.2 Impact analyze of railway noise during operational period
(1) Measurement of the noise Through field investigation, Jiangkou sanitarium, Guangming Elementary School, Xiashanxi Village 3 sensitive sites and typical embankments, bridges were chosen as the noise measurement sites (see figure 4-1~4-4). Noise at the railway border ( 30 meters away from the center of the outside track) was analyzed to determine if the noise met with the limit requirement of GB12525-90 Noise Limit at Railway Border and Its Measurement Method, and if the noise at hospitals and schools met with the requirement of 60dBA in daytime and .50dBA in nighttime, and judge the noise attenuation at typical sections along the line. z Measurement method GB12525-90 Noise Limit at Railway Border and Its Measurement Method TB/T3050-2002 Measurement techniqueNorm of Environmental Noise along railway
At present, because the train flow of this line is low and unbalanced, one hour measurement of noise is not suitable. So equal noise level of the trains was measured, and noise value was calculated respectively according to the train flow frequency of day and night. Train speed, measuring time, vehicle type and train formation were recorded simultaneously. z Calculation formula n ⎧ 1 ⎡ 1.0 Lpi ⎤⎫ TLeq = lg10)( ⎨ ⎢∑ti ×10 ⎥⎬ ⎩T ⎣ i=1 ⎦⎭ Meanings of the letters: Leq(T): equal noise level during T time (dBA);
th ti: noise functional time at the prediction point by the i noise source; th Lpi: A noise level created at the prediction point by the i noise source; T: time used to calculate equal noise level; n: noise source amount in T time. Day and night time was divided according to:

Data in the table 4-4 shows Equal noise levels at the school and sanitarium along the line can generally meet with the requirement of “60dBA at daytime and 50dBA at nighttime”. Along the line, Equal noise levels at the railway border (30 meters away from the center of the outside track) and within the border can meet with the limit requirement of GB12525-90 Noise Limit at Railway Border and Its Measurement Method, namely “both 70dBA at daytime and nighttime”. Equal noise level at the sensitive points outside 60 meters away from the track is between 56.6 and 56.9dBA in daytime, between 54.2 and 55.2dBA in nighttime. Equal noise levels at the sensitive points outside 120 meters away from the track is 53.9 between 54.2dBA in daytime, between 51.7 and 52.1dBA in nighttime. Railway operation has little impact on the daily life of local people.

4.2.3 Summary
The survey showed constructive units of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway had implemented all the mitigation measures in EIA report and related official reply. Noise measuring at typical sensitive sites showed noise level of the both side along the line could generally meet with the requirement of related standard. 4.3 Water environment 4.3.1 Implementation of sewage treatment equipment at stations
Water pollution sources of the line during operational period are mainly from domestic sewage of the 6 newly built station and production sewage of Ruijin Locomotive Turnaround Depot. At present, constructive units of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway had implemented the mitigation measures in EIA report and related official reply. Because the later change of the design, track joint site was not located at Ganxian County Station, and Ganxian County Station was not included in the project. So the sewage treatment equipment of Ganxian County Station required in EIA report was canceled. Implementation of the measures was listed in table 4-5.

According to the monitoring, quality of treated sewage met with the requirement of standard. It is suggested that the facilities should be maintained and managed in daily operation and quality of the sewage should be measured to ensure its discharge follow the standard requirement. 4.4 Air environment
According to the survey, all the boilers burning coals had changed into cleaning energy, such as solar energy or electric water heater, which is good for the improvement of air quality. Thermal used solar energy at Yudu station and Ruijin locomotive turnaround depot see photo 43 and 44. 4.5 Solid waste
Solid waste is mainly from passenger trains, domestic waste at station areas and mud created by sewage treatment equipments. According to field visit, regular waste delivery sites for passenger trains had been built up at Ganzhou and Longyan station. Wastes from passenger trains were collected to the waste transferring station, then transferred by local environmental unit to dispose together. Waste disposal Fee was paid by the
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 28 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway station to local environmental unit. Waste storage site of Longyan station had been put into use and that of Ganzhou station had been exist. Other small stations along the line has relative small number of stuffs and waiting passengers, domestic waste quality is small, and are generally equipped with domestic waste box and special stuff for waste cleaning. Wastes are transported by local environmental unit and disposed collectively. Quality of mud from sewage treatment equipments is rather small, and mud are dried up and transported to local waste site and will not has obvious impact on environment. 4.6 Implementation of environmental management and monitoring system during operational period
According to the survey, Ganzhou-Longyan railway will be managed by Nanchang Railway Administration after being constructed. Nanchang Railway Administration has a special department responsible for environmental management work, and its subordinate stations and depots also have environmental units and related staffs. Environmental monitoring station of Nanchang Railway Administration is responsible for internal environmental monitoring works of the Administration. Manage department of the Administration can know the environment changes along the line through environmental monitoring datas. 5 Survey of impacts on local economy by the railway
5.1 Railway section in Jiangxi province Construction of Ganzhou-Longyan railway has greatly improved local economy. According to the GDP statistics of the 4 counties (cities) along the line in Jiangxi province, total GDP the 4 counties (cities) was 6.845 billion yuan in year 2001 vs 10.83 billion yuan in 2005, improvement of which is 58.3%; the improvement of local financial income is as high as 92.8%, the income reach 1.07 billion yuan in 2005. Relied on Ganzhou-Longyan railway, industrial structures of local areas along the line had been greatly adjusted; industrial and commercial business has been developed; construction of small cities was actively imposed; development of land resources and economy was improved. Construction of the railway had created much opportunity to local poor people and surplus labors in rural places to get rich and have a job. During the construction period, local people had actively joined in the construction and gotten a relatively good income. Some
Beijing OASIS Enviroment Protection Technology Co.,Ltd. 29 Environment Monitoring Summary Report of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway people would be accepted as a railway worker after the railway was operated, and get a stable income. Besides farming, local people can also engage in industry and commerce, and improve their income from many aspects. Construction of the railway has improved convenience of local transportation and improved environment of investment and resource superiority has changed into economic superiority. Main enterprises invested in the 4 counties (cities) along the line were Ganxian Shirui Mine Product Co. Limited, Ganzhou Xinye Art and Craft Co. Limited and Guangzhou Shenshi Costume (Ganzhou) Co. Limited, investment of which is 170 million yuan, and had solved employment problem for more than 5,000 persons. The counties along the line have grasped opportunity of the railway construction in resent years, have developed and built up industrial areas, a group of enterprises with good future have been built up, investments have been increased in machinery and electron, knitwear, mineral product processing, food processing and construction material industry. For example, limestone resources in Huichang and Ruijin are very rich. A major enterprise named Ruijin Brand Factory of Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement had been firstly invested 480 million yuan, productivity of which is 40 million ton of cement per year. A second investment will be 160 million yuan. This project can solve employment for 600 persons and the factory adopted spin-drier technique, which is conformed to the requirement of national industrial policy. According to the survey, this project has passed the procedure of EIA review. 5.2 Railway section in Fujian province Natural resources along the line is rich, operation of the railway will make the transportation along the line more convenient and absorb external commercial investment.
