Project Introduction 1. Significance and Purpose of Project Construction The project refers to the Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line Double-track Electrification Railway Construction project. Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is a part of Beijing-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line- Chinese high-speed railway network consisting of "Four transverse and four longitudinal railways". As the major channel for south-north transportation of China, construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will not only fulfill separate transportation of passenger and freight, improve the passenger transportation service quality in a large range, abridge time-space distance between cities along the line, improve the service frequency and facilitate the tourists'outgoing, but also release capacity of Beijing-Guangzhou Line, effectively alleviate the tensioned freight transportation situation, and meet the passenger and freight transportationdemands of cities along the railway line and the affected areas. It is of great significance for China to implement the sustainable development strategy, enlarge radiation intensity of Bohai rim economic circle towards the central and western areas, promote the reasonable configuration of resources, drive healthy and rapid development of the national economy and improve the comprehensive national strengths of China. It is expected that this project and the relevant development activities will promote development of industry, natural resources and the tourism, create employment opportunities, increase income of the poor, and alleviate the local poverty situation. 2. Project Composition Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line starts from Shijiazhuang City in north- the provincial city of Hebei Province and extends to the Yellow River SuperLarge Bridge (exclusive of it) in Zhengzhou in south. The trunk line of it is 355.17km long in total. It extends 204.62km within the territory of Hebei Province and 150.55km within the territory of Henan Province. It passes by Shijiazhuang City, Xingtai City and Handan City of Hebei Province, Anyang City, Hebi City and Xinxiang City of Henan Province. Six stations in total will be established along the entire line. The new Xingtai Station, new Handan Station, new Anyang Station, new Hebi Station and the new Xinxiang Station are the intermediate stations. The new Gaoyi Station is the overtaking station. There are 72 super large and medium and large bridges along the trunk line of the special passenger line and they amount to 246171.75m. The length of the bridges accounts for 69.3% of the length of the trunk line. It is expected that the total costs will be RMB 35.068654 billion yuan or so. It is jointly hnded by the Ministry of Railways, Hebei Province and Henan Province. The World Bank will provide a sum of loan totalling USD 300 million. The civil engineering of the control projects will start at the beginning of 2007. The railway will be open for traffic officially at the end of May 201 1.

Measures for Avoidance or mitigation of impact due to LAR One of key design principles in the railway line location is to reduce expropriation and house demolition as well as reconstruction as possible. Expropriation and house demolition for the project will be started early 2007, and measures for mitigation of expropriation impact include: "Approach, but not go through, the urban area": in other words, avoidance of the urban areas, towns and the highly crowded areas; The railway line will go through the side of a village, but not the center, so as to decrease the relocation of houses and buildings and occupation of fertile land and economic forests; The railway line will run parallel to the current highways or national roads to the largest extent possible and get as closer as possible to them, so as to decrease the expropriated land and obstruction to land partition and travel; Be away from or avoid the natural scenic areas, waterhead and other facilities that are sensitive to shock and noise; Makes bridges play the role of roads (the bridges account for 69.3%) to the largest extent possible in a bid to decrease the land occupation; Be helphl to improve the ambient environment of the railway line, promote the economic development and create social and economic benefits.
