2.1 PROJECTPURPOSE According to the plan of the national water transport backbone waterways and Jiangsu inland river backbone waterways network, the World Bank' s loan has been planned to be utilized for THE PROJECT. THE PROJECT focuses on solving the problems: dredgingthe busy waterwaysof good benefit,and the "bottleneck" problem of the ship locks on the -HangzhouGrand Canal, which have no enough capacity to let the ships pass without delay. The constructionof THE PROJECT can promote the developmentof local economy, improve the modemizationlevel of Jiangsu waterways dredging construction and management, and foster a waterways construction and managementteam of high quality. 2.2 PROJECT COMPOSITION The locationof THE PROJECTis shownin THE LOCATIONDRAWING OF THE PROJECT. (1) THE SUNAN BACKBONE WATERWAYS NETWORK REGULATION PROJECT (shortenedas the Waterways Project, SUNAN means the south of Jiangsu Province): this sub-projectincludes dredgingthree waterways:the Shen--ZhangLine, the Xi--Bei Line and the Su--Liu Line. During operation of the sub-project, the three waterways,together with the Sunan section of the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal, the YangtseRiver, and the Su-ShenLine, will form the backbonewaterways network, which are navigablefor the ships of over 300t, in the east area of Sunan. Thus the efficiency of water transport will be promoted to fit in with the needs of Sunan economic speedy development. The Shen--ZhangLine (i.e. -Zhangjiagangwaterway): starts from the joint with the Neigang Line of the Su--Shen Line in City, Jiangsu Province in the south and meets the Yangtse River in ZhangjiagangCity in the north, with a total length of 114.694km.

The Xi--Bei Line (i.e. --Beiguo, City waterway):starts from the joint with the Xi-Cheng Canal in Wuxi Citv in the south and meets the Shen--ZhangLine in JiangyinCity in the north, with a total length of 36,537 km.

The Su--Liu Line (i.e. Kunshan section of the -Liuhe,Taicangwaterway,): from Suzhou to Kunshan. connects the Shen-Zhang Line and the Neigang Line of the Su--ShenLine, with a total length of 21.8 km.

(2) THE EXTENSIONPROJECT OF SHIP LOCKS ON THE BEIJING-- (shortenedas the Extension Project, the same below): this sub-project is to expand the "bottlenecks" at the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal. The purpose of the sub-project is to fit in with the needs of developinginland provincial resources. It will also meet the needs on energy of the YangtseRiver Delta' s economicdevelopment. The five ship locks , at which the ships have to wait for a long time before passing, will be extended,it will ensurethe main waterwayat the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal unlocked.

The constructionof the Subei (i.e. the north of Jiangsu Province) section of the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal will be able to make four ship locks be navigable for the ships of 2,000t: they are Xietai NO. 2 ship lock, SuqianNO. 3 ship lock, Huaiyin NO. 3 ship lock and Huai' an NO. 3 ship lock.

The constructionof the Sunan section of the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal will be able to make a shiplock be navigablefor the ships of I ,000t: it is Jianbi NO. 2 ship lock.

(3) THE YANGUAN SHIP LOCK AT THE YANHE RIVER CONNECTING WITH SEA (shortenedas the Yanguan Ship Lock Project, the same below): this sub- project is locatedin ,which is the poorest county in Jiangsu Province. Yanguanship lock will connect the YANHE RIVER and the GUANHERIVER. The constructionof the sub-projectwill be able to provide a convenientwaterway to the sea for the resource development and transport of the inaccessible and undevelopedHuai River basin.After being built, Yanguanship lock will be navigablefor the ships of 500t. (4) Purchase Of Equipment: The modem equipment for the construction of the waterwaysand ship locks will be purchased through open biddingding,it will improve the modernizationlevel of maintanance,construction and management.

(5) Personnel Training: In order to meet the needs of the market economic developmentof China, and study the same trade and occupation's successfulexperiences in managementand finance etc., personnel training will be done to build a waterways constructionand managementteam of high quality.

(3) In the waterways of Huaiyin NO. 3 ship lock, Huai' an ship lock and the Yanguan ship lock, there are more kinds of fish, they are mainly eel , grass carp, round head carp, variegated carp, carp, cruciancarp, loach. catfish,black carp. etc.

The waterwaysinvolved in THE PROJECTare mainly for water transport. irrigation and flood prevention,but not for fish habitat. The fish culture and fishing mostly gather in the lakes. The constructionof THE PROJECTwill not affect the aquatic animals and plants in the lakes.

16 4.4.2.2 Bottommud On the three waterways and at the Zhangjiagang ship lock 14 bottom mud monitoringsections were set up. The monitoredresults of the factors: Hg, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Oils, DDT and Ati* indicatethat the content of the factorsbasically meet Grade II of "SOIL ENVIRONMENTQUALITY STANDARD. In order to avoid a second time pollution from the abandoned earth of the construction,a leachingexperiment has been done to the effusionof the collectedbottom mud above mentioned.only the total Cu at one or two sections at Weiting section of the Su--Liu Line exceeds the standard, all other factors of each section don't exceed the standard.It has been suggestedthat the abandoned soil from Weiting section of the Su-- Liu Line shouldnot be recultivated.

The monitoredfactors at Subei section of the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal and Jianbi section of the Sunan Canal basically meet Grade II of "SOIL ENVIRONMENT QUALITYSTANDARD. As the Extension Project is to newly excavate the waterways, there is no bottommud in this sub-projectand its abandoned earth will not pollute the environment.

17 5.0 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT OF THE PROJECT AND POLLUTION PREVENTION AND MITIGATION MEASURES

5.1 ENVIRONMENTIMPACT TYPES

5.1.1 The Constructionof THE PROJECTwill benefit the environment.

(I) THE PROJECT, a traffic infrastructureconstruction project, will serve local economicdevelopment and bring obvioussocial benefits.

(2) THE PROJECTwill greatlychange the passive situationthat the waterways are too narrow to be unlockedand the ships and boats have to wait for a long time to pass. After the waterways being regulated, the present water pollution situation will be improved;After the ship locks being extended,the ships and boats will wait for a shorter time to pass throughthe ship locks,it will reduce the pollutants dischargedby the waiting ships and boats; The improvement of the water exchange condition will benefit the degradationof the pollutants.

(3) The constructionof THE PROJECTwill partly damagethe vegetationaround and result in soil erosion,but they will be improvedand recover by slopprotection, revetment and greeningetc.

(4) The constructionof THE PROJECT will not affect any historical and cultural human landscapes.The aquaticanimals and plants environmentwill not change. 5.1.2 During construction.THE PROJECT will affect the environment,but only for a short time. as the pollutionwill disappearduring operationis finished.

(1) The land requisition.removal and land occupationwill affectsocial environment. (2) Dust during constructionwill affectthe atmosphericenvironment.

(3) The widening of the waterwaysand the extension of the ship locks will increase SS and affectthe water environment.

(4) The presenttraffic order will be affectedduring construction. 5.1.3 IndirectImpact

The indirect impacts include: the increasing of the ships flow, the pollutants discharged by the ships, noise pollution, bulk liquid chemical products, ships risk accidentspollution.

5.2 SOCIAL IMPACT

5.2.1 Impacton Agriculture

The constructionof THE PROJECTwill occupy land resources.

The land borrowed by THE PROJECTis mainly for piling up earth and construction

I8 spots. ror me temporaniyDorrowea rarmianas, meir rernuly wiu uecr=sc a JiLUc UjL, becausetheir used way has changed.Usually, it takes several years to recover them. For the temporarilyborrowed bottom-lands, low-lying lands and unused ponds etc., the abandoned earth piled on them will become new land resources. For the temporarily borrowedland for pilingup the abandonedearth, in ordernot to destroythe farmland,the contractorsare requiredto cover mellow soil on the land during operationand to adopt protectionmeasures on the recultivationof the abandonedearth piled on the wasteland. By this way, the impact on the land resources will be reduced. Before returning the temporarilyborrowed farmland, the contractorsmust clear up the constructionremains on the land. After being recultivated,the farmland will be able to recover to the same as before.

The land resourcesloss caused by the land requisitionwill be partly made up by bringing barren lands under cultivation. For the borrowed land, certain economic compensation will be given according to the relevant rules of State and local govermnents. 5.2.2 Impacton Fishery EIAR points out that the Ship Locks Project will hardly affect fishery. For the WaterwaysProject, only in the BachengLake and KunchengLake where the Shen-Zhang Line passes by, there are a little purse net fishery, but they are not within the waterway. The constructionof this waterway is suggestedto try its best to avoid the fish growth active period. In order to avoid affecting fishery, the construction should be done in winter. 5.2.3 Land Requisitionand Removal The principleof the land requisitionand removal of THE PROJECT is to occupy farmland as little as possible and remove houses as few as possible. Under this circumstancethe design schemes should be compared scientifically,the land should be utilized reasonably, the right rights and interests of the affected people by the land requisitionand removal should be safeguardedaccording to relevant laws. They should get appropriate arrangement. Those will keep the construction of THE PROJECT stepping forward smoothly, and local economy of the areas along the waterways and around the ship locks will develop more quickly, in the mean time the water transport will be improved.it will increaselocal people' s livinglevel.

The land requisitionand removal will altogether involve 10 cities and counties, 41 towns, amongthem 7 cities and countiesand 35 towns involvedin the WaterwaysProject, 3 cities and countiesand 6 towns involvedin the Ship Locks Project.

THE PROJECTaltogether requisitions 559.81 ha. of land, among them 427.3 ha. for the WaterwaysProject and 132.5 ha. for the Ship LocksProject.

THE PROJECTtemporarily borrows 892.2 ha. of land, amongthem 577.5 ha. for the Waterways Project and 314.6 ha. for the Ship Locks Project. Generallythe land will be borrowed for two years.

THE PROJECTremoves 738,015.74m 2 of houses, among them 633,060m 2 for the WaterwaysProject and 104,955.72m 2 for the ShipLock Project.

19 The land requisitionand removalinvolves 216 households of residence and 519 units, among them 1,590 households of residence and 459 units involved in the Waterways Project, 571 households of residence and 60 units in the Ship Locks Project.

The public participation and social investigation indicate that THE PROJECT possesses good basis and has got support and understandingof the governmentsat all levels, democracydelegations and the masses. The designof THE PROJECT abiddinges by the principleto occupy farmlandas little as possibleand reduce the removalto the full. The implementation of THE LAND REQUISITION, REMOVAL AND RESETTLEMENTACTION PLAN of THE PROJECT can ensure to promote the developmentof local economyand improvethe people's livinglevel.

256 investigationforms were distributed for the public participation, and 225 investigationforms were collected,making up 87.9 per cent. The investigation result shows:

91.26% of the public believethat the constructionof THE PROJECT will make the area developvigorously;

99.3% of the public of the removedareas agree to remove;

13.1%- 77.6%of the public are concernedabout the environmentprotection of the area.

5.2.4 EconomicBenefits and SocialBenefits 5.2.4.1 Economicbenefits

EIAR indicatesthat the economic benefit brought by the Waterways Project in the year 2004, 2010 and 2020 is respectively RMB V 296.00 million, RMB V 349.54 million and RMB V 517.94 million; the economicbenefit by the Ship Locks Project in the year 2005, 2010 and 2020 is respectivelyRMB V 103.89million, RMB X 191.31 and RMB V 140.42million. THE PROJECTwill bring obviouseconomic benefits.

5.2.4.2 Social benefits

The WaterwaysProject is located in the developed Sunnan area. It' s construction will increasespecial water transport,the waterwayscapacities and transport efficiency.It will take water transport develop to meet the needs of the sustainable and steady developmentof Sunan's economy,meanwhile it will promotethe economicdevelopment of the provincesand cities around.

The construction of the Extension Project will perfect the area' s water transport network, increase the capacity of the Beijing-HangzhouGrand Canal, and adapt the economic developmentof JiangsuProvince and the YangtseDelta.

25 The construction of the Yanguan Ship Lock Project will perfect the area' s water transport network, be good for promoting the development of water transport on the YANHE RJVER and the GUANHE RIVER. It will also change the current situation of goods transport of the cities and counties along, quicken the area' s goods and materials turnover and promote the area' s economic development.

5.3 IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND POLLUTION PREVENTION AND MITIGATIONMEASURES

5.3.1 Noise Impact

During construction the construction machines and vehicles will cause noise pollution, and the pollution is more serious at night. EIAR suggests that the contractors should reasonably arrange construction time, limit the machines of high noise to work continuously, and avoid that the machines of high noise work at night etc. as to reduce construction noise impact.

The common indexes to limit construction machines are shown in Table 5.3

Table 5.3 Common indexes to limit construction machines

Machines Peak Distance from sound source Indexes noise (in)

dB(A) 15 30 68 120

Oscillator 105 85 79 73 69 Less than 120maway from sensitive objects, continuouslywork- at night for less than 2 hours

26 5.3.2 Impacton WaterQuality Underwaterdredging -will cause impact on water quality of the constructionwaters. EIAR points out: In the course of underwaterdredging, the waters will be disturbed,the concentrationof SS and turbiddingity degree will obviously increase, and those will cause disadvantageousimpact on the water quality, aquatic animals and plants, the drinking water sources and industrialwater of the cities and towns along. There are drinkingwater intakes in the branchesof the waterways.In order to reduce the impact on the drinkingwater sources, the constructionof each sections should adopt the following measures: 1) First construct the section 50 - 100 m away downstream the branch entrance,and then constructthe section 50 m awayupstream the branch entranceafter the downstreamsection has been broadened;2) Keep the dike of the branch of drinkingwater intakes to ensurethat the constructionwill not affect the water quality of the drinking water intakes; 3) Quickly demolishthe dam at night when it is not water-usingpeak; while demolishingthe dam, build a temporaryanti-pollution curtain inside the branch at 30 m away fromthe branch entrance.By this way, the water quality of the drinkingwater intakescan be ensured.

5.3.3 Impacton AtmosphericEnviromnent EIAR points out the main pollution on atmosphericenvironment is dust during construction. At the constructionspots the process of excavationand filling and transportvehicles will produce dust pollution.In order to effectivelyreduce dust pollution, the contractors should adopt such measures as sprayingwater and controllingthe speed of the vehicles etc.

5.3.4 Impactby AbandonedEarth

The abandoned bottom mud produced by underwater excavation will affect its surroundingenvironment. EIAR suggeststhat the bottommud should be covered up at proper places such as beheadedriver, low-lyingland etc. Before the chosen places are filled with the bottommud. an earth dike shouldbe set up first to prevent the bottom mud overflowing.Outside the earth dike grassesand bushesshould be planted.

For Weiting cross section, because the content of Cu contained in the bottom mud exceeds the standard,a depressionof good geologicaland water proof conditionsshould be chosenfor fillingthe bottom mud there. The bottommud should be first coveredwith a layer of clay which is 40 cm thick and pounded, and then covered with mellow soil which is 30 - 50 cm thick. The depressionshould be over 40 m away from fish ponds.

5.4 ENVIRONMENT IMPACT DURING OPERATION AND POLLUTION PREVENTION AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Wlhenthe regulated waterways and extended ship locks being used, the pollution mainly comes from the communicationsnoise and cabin oil sewage by the ships and boats runningon the waterwaysand passingship locks.

27 5.4.1 CommunicationsNoise Accordingto EIAR, current noise value of the areas along the waterwaysand ship locksis standard-exceeded.When the regulatedwaterways and extendedship locks being used, becausethe numberof the ships on the waterwayshas increased,the noise pollution by the ships will also increase.But with the gradual and natural eliminationof the paddle power boats-the main noise sources and with the fleet becominglarger and larger, the noisepollution will graduallydecrease and be up to the ASSESSMENTstandard at last. In order to reduce noise pollution,EIAR puts forward some practical and effective measures:set up an greeningzone on each bank of the waterwaysand ship locks, set up a sign to ask the ships and boats to run at lower speed at the river section with crowd residenceon both banks, ask the paddle power boats must install qualified exhaust gas silencer.

5.4.2 Cabin Oil Sewage

EIAR points out: the waters of the waterways and ship locks have been polluted in some degree by the industrialand resident sewagefrom cities and towns, but the water quality is basically meet the ASSESSMENT standard. During operation of THE PROJECT.the water dischargeof the waterwayswill increase,the time for the ships and boats passing through the ship locks will be shorter, the ships will become larger, therefore,the oil sewageand resident sewage dischargedby the ships will just do a little pollution on the water quality, less than present pollution. The pollution will gradually decreaseyear by year.

Becausethe waters have been polluted now, the water quality will deteriorate if the pollutants discharged by the ships and boat aren' t be effectively controlled. THE ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT puts forward some measures: before discharged.the cabin oil sewagemust be treated to fit in.with the standard or collected and sent to the harbor for treatment. EIAR also suggests the relevant management departmentsmust enhance supervisionand managementto ensure the above mentioned measuresto be actuallv carriedout.

The situations of the harbors which are able to accept cabin oil sewage and solid wastes are shown in Table 5.4.

6.2 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING

6.2.1 The environment monitoring includes the routine monitoring made by each involved local environment monitoring station and the periodical environment monitoring specially for the construction of THE PROJECT.

6.2.2 The routine monitoring made by each involved local environment monitoring station is the people' s governments' legal action. The different waters have different function and their environment quality have different requirements. In the involved Suzhou City, W'uxi city, Xuzhou city, Suqian City, Huaiyin city, Lianyungang city and Zhenjiang city. there are routine monitoring cross sections and atmospheric monitoring stations.

The local environment monitoring stations will complete their routine monitoring according to the arrangements of the environment protection and management department of the governments.

6.2.3 For the periodical environment monitoring specially for the construction of THE PROJECT, the contractors will have them made by entrusting during the construction, and the waterways management departments will have them made by entrusting during operation. The environment protection plan of THE PROJECT offers two altemative environment monitoring organization schemes. namelv, 1) The environment monitoring institutions; or 2) The local environment monitoring stations of the province and cities involved.

The environment monitoring plan is show in Table 6.2-1.
