2. Description of the Project

2.1 Project Components

5. The Heilongjiang Component of the Songhua River Basin Water Pollution Control and Management Project includes the following three major subcomponents of work:

 Water Supply Subcomponent;  Wastewater Treatment Subcomponent; and,  Institutional Capacity Development.

6. The Project will contribute to and support the 11th FYPs of the provincial governments in Heilongjiang and the Songhua River Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Master Plan (SRBPCMP) by: (i) reducing pollutant loading to the Songhua River Basin (SRB) through direct collection and treatment of wastewater (point sources) in the Project counties and cities of Heilongjiang Province; (ii) addressing the water shortage problem through effluent reuse in the Project counties and cities of Heilongjiang Province; (iii) providing a supply of reliable and high quality potable water in four Project counties and cities of Heilongjiang Province; (iv) reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases; (v) increasing the efficiency and management capacity of the IAs; (vi) integrating approaches for basin-wide pollution prevention and control; and (vii) improving cost recovery through a better tariff structure, with gradual increases to achieve full cost recovery.

7. The Project implementation is scheduled for completion by 31 December 2013.

1) Water Supply Subcomponent

8. The water supply subcomponent includes construction of 3 water treatment plants (WTPs) with a cumulative capacity of 29,500 m3/day in the Project area to improve water supply conditions. This subcomponent also includes the construction of approximately 83.2 kilometres (km) of water transmission pipelines in the Project counties and cities across Heilongjiang Province. Within the original project scope there were four water supply components, with 49,500 m3/day cumulative capacity. The Fujin City Water Supply Expansion component is now financed exclusively with domestic funds and therefore has been removed from the ADB loan. The cost savings from this cancellation are used to finance two additional project subcomponents (see below for the wastewater treatment subcomponent).

2) Wastewater Treatment Subcomponent

9. Within the original project scope, the wastewater treatment subcomponent includes the construction of 9 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and associated sewers in the Project counties and cities in Heilongjiang Province with a cumulative treatment capacity of 291,000 m3/day. A total length of approximately 199 km of associated sewer pipelines will also be constructed. With the newly added Luobei County Fengxiang Town Wastewater Treatment and Sewerage Network Improvement Subproject and the Mudanjiang Sewerage Network Improvement Subproject, the number of the WWTPs for the Project increases from 9 to 10 with cumulative treatment capacity of 301,000 m3 / day, and the total length of the sewer pipelines increases by 62.6 km to 162.6 km.

3) Institutional Capacity Development Component

10. The institutional capacity building subcomponent is intended to provide:

3 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2487-PRC: SONGHUA RIVER BASIN POLLUTION CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT PROJECT FOURTH SEMIANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (JULY 2012- JUNE 2013)

 training to strengthen organizational structures for efficiently implementing, operating, and maintaining the project components;  strengthening management practices in human resources, finance, and corporate planning; and,  support for the public awareness programs to ensure the sustainability of project benefits.

11. In addition to the construction of WTPs, WWTPs, and the institutional capacity enhancement, the Project also includes a consulting service contract. The PMO of Songhua River Basin Water Pollution Control and Management Project Financed by ADB (Heilongjiang Component), thereafter called Heilongjiang Project Management Office (HPMO) contracted NREM International Inc. (the Consultant) to provide consulting services in support of the implementation of the Project. The scope of the consulting services covers the areas of environment, resettlement, engineering design, procurement, and construction management, project performance monitoring system (PPMS), institutional strengthening and financial management enhancement. The objective of the consulting services is to support the HPMO and project implementation agencies (PIAs) in project implementation and capacity building over the project implementation period.

12. Upon completion, the Songhua River Basin Water Pollution Control and Management Project in Heilongjiang Province is expected to result in improved water supply and wastewater services and enhanced institutional capacity. As a result, the public health and quality of life for the urban residents in the Project counties and cities in Heilongjiang Province along the Songhua River Basin (SRB) are expected to be enhanced and improved after the implementation of the Project.

3. Description of the Environment

23. Heilongjiang Province lies in the northeast of the PRC, at the highest latitudes and the northernmost end of the country. It neighbours the Russian Federation across the Heilongjiang and Wusuli rivers running in its north and east, respectively; in the west, it adjoins the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region; and to its south is Jilin Province. The province covers an area of 454,000 km2, accounting for 4.7% of the nation's total. Under its jurisdiction are 13 prefectures and cities, 66 counties and county-level cities, 1,211 townships (towns), and 14,488 villages.

3.1 Meteorology

24. Heilongjiang has a continental monsoon, subarctic climate. Winters are long and frigid, with the lowest average temperature of –28°C to –18°C in January, and summers are short and cool with an average of 18°C to 23°C in July. Annual average temperatures range from –4°C to 4°C. The temperature difference between the northern and southern parts of the province is 8°C.The annual average rainfall is 500 to 600 millimeters (mm), concentrated in the summer months.

3.2 Topography

25. The topography of Heilongjiang Province is characterized by mountains in the northwest, north, and the southeast, and lowland in the northeast and southwest. In its northwest are the Greater Hinggan Mountains, and in the north, the Lesser Hinggan Mountains. In the southeast are the ridges of Zhangguangcai, Laoye, and Taiping, in addition to the Wanda Mountains. The Nenjiang and Songhua rivers run across the province from south to north, forming the Sanjiang (“three rivers”) Plains in the northeast and the Songhua–Nenjiang Plains in the southwest. The well-known Xingkai Lake lies in the southeast. Hills and mountainous areas, with heights ranging from 300 to 1,780 meters (m) above sea level, account for 70% of the total land mass of the province. Plains, lying 50–250 m above sea level, make up about 30% of the total area.

3.3 Hydrology

26. The Songhua River originates from two main sources, the Nenjiang and Second Songhua rivers, which meet near Songyuan to form the Songhua River. From this confluence, the Songhua River flows easterly to join the Heilongjiang River on the boundary between the Russian Federation and the PRC. About 54% (300,000 km2) of the area is in the Nenjiang River catchment area and 13% (73,000 km2) in the Second Songhua catchment area. The remaining 33% (184,000 km2) is immediately adjacent to the Songhua River main channel. The average annual rainfall in the SRB is low, varying from less than 400 mm in the west to more than 800 mm in the east. Most rainfall occurs in June– September, and average rainfall in a wet year may be three times that in a dry year.

27. The SRB is demarcated by three mountain ranges—the Greater Hinggan Mountain Range, which lies along the west and southwest border of the basin in Inner Mongolia; the Lesser Hinggan Mountain Range, which limits the north and northeast part of the basin; and the Changbaishan Mountain Range, which serves as the divide for the south and southeast part of the basin. The forest cover in these ranges provides good protection for the water resources of the area and the cascade multipurpose reservoirs developed along the Second Songhua River. The other significant landforms are the Songhua– Nenjiang and Sanjiang floodplains.

3.4 Ecological Resources

28. In 1999 and 2001, the Government of the PRC selected Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces to become two of the country’s three experimental “ecological provinces,” acknowledging their rich biodiversity and potential for sustainable management of natural resources.

29. Heilongjiang Province has 44.37 million hectares (ha) of soiled land with rich organic matter, of which 40% is suitable for farming. It is known as one of the world’s three major black-soil zones—67.6% of its total farmland of 11.80 million ha is cultivated on black soil, marshland, or black calcium soil. Furthermore, the province has 4.33 million ha of pastures and 4.793 million ha of farmland reserves. Heilongjiang ranks first among the PRC provinces in farmland and forest area, seventh in pasture area, and second in farmland reserves. Its total farmland area and land reserves together account for one tenth or more of the country’s total. The average per-capita farmland and the average per-capita area of farmland operated by individual farmers are three times the country’s average. With 41.9% of its land covered with forest, Heilongjiang ranks first among all the PRC provinces in forested area, forest resource reserves, and timber output. The province has the largest forest industry in the country, occupying a very important position in the PRC’s forest ecosystems. It is the most important state-owned forest area and the largest timber center in the PRC. In its forests are more than 100 species of trees, including 30 of high use value. Natural forests are mainly distributed in the Greater and Lesser Hinggan Mountains and the Changbaishan Mountains.

30. Forests in the SRB are mostly secondary-growth and man-made. The forest resources include larch, lime, mulberry, birch, Korean pine, spruce, Manchurian ash, camphor, and other economically valuable trees. Shrubs include hazel, M. baccata Borkh, wild siris (Albizzia kalkora Prain), and wild rose. Grasses include five-flowered herbosa, meyer sedge (Carex meyeriana Kunth), little-leaf camphor and reeds. Wild fruits include grapes, wild pears, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts. Edible wild herbs include brake, needle-beard edible fungi, and day lily.

31. Fauna found in the SRB includes bears, wild boar, deer, foxes, and wolves. Common wild animals include squirrels, chipmunks, hares, voles, frogs, and snakes. Bird species include chickadees, magpies, cuckoos, bulbuls, pheasants, and owls. Fish species include carp, pike, spotted silver carp, loach, catfish, northern grunter, willow-root fish, calabash fish, grass-root fishand other cold-water species. Livestock breeding plays an important role in the agricultural economy. Domesticated animals and poultry include cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, pigs, sheep, rabbits, dogs, chickens, and geese.

32. Heilongjiang province is nationally important commodity grain and soybean producers. In the agricultural areas, the main farm crops are corn, soybean, paddy rice, wheat, barley, and sorghum. Other important crops are beans, sugar beet, flax, and tobacco.

3.5 Water Quality and Pollution

33. Because of rapid population growth, industrialization, and urbanization, the Songhua River is heavily polluted, primarily by organic pollutants. A basin-wide water quality assessment made in 2005 indicated that 34% of the monitored sections had water quality at or below the class V of the PRC Surface Water Quality Standard (GB3838-2002); this percentage jumps to 45% during the low-flow, frozen season. The tributaries with pronounced pollution include the Hulan, Anbang, Namo’er, Huifa, Yinma, Yitong, Ashi, Woken, and Mudanjiang rivers, whose water quality is class V. These tributaries contribute significantly to pollution in the mainstream Songhua.

12 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2487-PRC: SONGHUA RIVER BASIN POLLUTION CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT PROJECT FOURTH SEMIANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (JULY 2012- JUNE 2013)

34. In the SRB, there are 48 major drinking water supply source areas that serve a total population of about 13.9 million. These include 32 surface water supply source areas, which account for about 90% of the volume of water supply in the basin, and 16 groundwater supply source areas, which account for the remaining 10%. In the past few years, a number of drinking water supply sources—such as the Sifangtai Water Supply Source Area for Harbin City in Heilongjiang Province, Hailong Reservoir for Meihekou in Jilin Province, and Zhuo’erhe River for Xing’an Prefecture in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region—have experienced water pollution, which threatens the safety of the drinking water supply.

35. The major water pollutants in the SRB include potassium permanganate index, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphor (TP), oils, and chemical oxygen demand (COD). Water quality at four state-monitored sections does not meet the prescribed standards for designated uses. During the 10th FYP (2001–2005) period, water quality in the mainstream Songhua deteriorated further, as the pollutants discharged in the SRB increased yearly. By 2005, the volume of wastewater discharged in the SRB amounted to 1.98 billion cubic meters (m3), and COD 784,000 tons, making the SRB the largest recipient of organic pollution among the PRC’s top seven river basins. The seven largest cities in the SRB, including Harbin, Changchun, Mudanjiang, Qiqiha’er, Daqing, and Jiamusi, each discharged more than 100 million m3 of wastewater yearly. They accounted for 68% of the COD discharged in the entire basin.

36. As expected, water pollution is more pronounced in sections passing by or through urbanized areas, indicating that municipal sewage is a primary source of pollution. In fact, urban sewage accounts for about 60% of the total wastewater discharged by volume in the entire SRB. However, sewage treatment facilities seriously lag behind. At the end of 2004, only 14 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), with a total capacity of 1.57 million cubic meters per day (m3/d) and actual treatment of 0.70 million m3/d, were operating. The rate of sewage treatment stood at less than 15%. For large cities with a population of more than 500,000, including Harbin, Changchun, Daqing, and Mudanjiang, the sewage treatment rate was below 40%. Most, if not all, medium-sized and small cities and towns discharge their raw sewage directly into the river, becoming the major sources of pollution for the Songhua.

37. As part of the SRBPCMP, pollution source and water quality monitoring in the SRB is being strengthened to cover the major polluters and sections. Online 24-hour monitoring equipment will be installed at more than 200 of the most polluting enterprises to closely monitor their effluent discharges. Provincial and key municipalities will have the equipment to regularly monitor toxic substances. Environmental monitoring stations at the county level will be fitted with monitoring equipment that will meet national standards. The existing 41 state-controlled monitoring stations in the SRB will be consolidated into 28, and 10 automated water quality stations will be established. This basin-wide complete monitoring network, the first of its kind in the PRC, is expected to be operating by the end of the 11th FYP (2010), providing full coverage and simultaneous monitoring of the drinking water supply sources and interprovincial and inter-municipal waterways in the SRB.

38. An environmental emergency response system is taking shape in the SRB. The system meets the standards prescribed in the National Environmental Emergency Response Plan (2006)1. The system entails command, coordination, response, and decision making. It is led by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and involves the State Council Emergency Response Office; the Ministries of Communications, Public Security, Water Resources, and Construction; the State Safety Supervision Administration and the State Meteorological

Administration; and their provincial and municipal counterparts. Drill exercises are conducted regularly.

3.6 EIA Classification

39. The Project was assessed during the TA fact-finding as environmental “Category A”.A summary of the environmental impact assessment (SEIA) was posted at the ADB website on11July 2008.

40. The Chinese EIAs were prepared by certified EIA institutes. They were prepared in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards applicable in PRC and following ADB Environment Policy (2002) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003).All of the subcomponent EIAs were approved by the relevant environmental administrative authorities.

5. Implementation of the EMP

5.1 Objectives

45. The objective of establishing an EMP is not only to propose appropriate mitigation measures, but also to recommend establishment of institutions or mechanisms to monitor and ensure compliance with environmental regulations and implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. Such institutions and mechanisms will seek to ensure continuously improving environmental protection activities during preconstruction, construction, and operation in order to prevent, reduce, or mitigate adverse impacts. The EMP drew on the individual EIA reports and on the PPTA discussions and agreements with the relevant government agencies.

46. An evaluation of the implementation of the EMP is summarized in the following sections.

5.2 Implementation of Mitigation Measures

47. The important aspects of the implementation of mitigation measures are highlighted as follow.

1) Environmental Clauses in Civil Works Contracts

48. All civil works contracts contain provisions on workers’ and community, environmental protection and protection of physical and cultural relics. The environmental clauses are summarized below.

Workers’ and Community Safety 49. The contractor will take precautionary measures to ensure workers’ safety. Protective equipment will be worn at all times for any person entering the construction site. Safety training shall be undertaken for workers and staff. In case of bodily harm to any worker, the contractor will have full responsibility for medical care and compensation according to PRC labour law. The contractor will also be responsible for any bodily harm and property damage caused by construction activities on site or in the vicinities, including land occupation.

50. The contractor is required to strengthen safety management, especially in regard to the use of flammables, explosives, toxic and corrosive substances. Before the start of construction, the contractor shall submit to the independent construction supervision agency an emergency preparedness and response plan.

Environmental Protection 51. The contractor will comply with all relevant laws and regulations on environmental protection, and will take precautionary measures to minimize any potential impact on the environment. It will be responsible for restoring and rehabilitating the environment to its original state at its own costs. An environmental management plan (EMP) with mitigation measures will be prepared and submitted to the construction supervision agency for approval before the commencement of construction.

52. The contractor will treat and dispose its construction wastewater, sewage from workers’ camps and solid wastes properly so as not to cause any damage to the environment, drinking water sources and public health. The disposal of spoils and solid wastes shall not obstruct flood ways and risk public safety. All slopes shall be protected with retention walls, proper drainage systems and vegetation to avoid geological hazards. Noise,

21 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2487-PRC: SONGHUA RIVER BASIN POLLUTION CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT PROJECT FOURTH SEMIANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (JULY 2012- JUNE 2013) dust, air emissions, wastewater and waste oils will be controlled to minimize annoyance to local communities.

Physical and Cultural Relics 53. All physical and cultural relics discovered at the construction sites are owned by the state. The contractor will report any such discoveries immediately to the local relics protection authority and in the meantime immediately inform the construction supervision agency. The contractor shall take effective measures to protect the unearthed physical and cultural relics. The contractor will be held responsible for any loss of damage to the discovered relics, and prosecuted for any delayed and fraudulent reporting.

2) Pollution Control Measures

Construction Wastewater 54. The major pollutant in construction wastewater is suspended solids. At the construction sites, natural and constructed settlement ponds are used to retain the sediments in the construction wastewater before they are discharged into municipal storm sewers. The settlement ponds are cleaned when they are filled up with sediments. Tires of construction vehicles are cleaned with water sprays before they leave the construction site. The construction camps are located in rural and peri-urban areas. Septic tanks are used to treat the sewage.

Air Pollution Control 55. The major sources of air emissions are construction equipment and construction vehicles. The vehicles delivering granular and/or fine materials to the sites are covered with tarpaulin sheets. Overloading of these vehicles has been avoided. Vehicle speeds are controlled on construction sites. All construction vehicles are certified by the transportation bureau to meet the applicable emissions standards. Besides, construction contractors are required to undertake proper maintenance of vehicles and diesel equipment, and avoidance of unnecessary running of vehicle and equipment engines.

56. All the roads on the construction sites are sprayed by water trucks to suppress dust, according to a daily schedule and taking weather conditions into consideration. These roads are kept clean, solid, smooth, and clear of all dust, mud, or extraneous materials dropped from transportation vehicles. The construction sites are enclosed by the appropriate walls and sprayed with water twice a day. Dust suppression equipment has been installed in concrete-batching plants. Materials storage sites are sited 300 m from residential areas. The materials in the storage site are organized, such as separate stone and sand materials; store concrete in separate storage place and reduce the on-site storage time of the construction. The transportation distance from the storage site to the construction site has been optimized to minimize disturbance to local communities.

57. When construction takes places during dry and windy days, water is sprayed on earth piles and exposed surfaces to suppress dust. Construction is suspended during strong winds and the stockpile be covered. Tires of construction vehicles are also cleansed before the vehicles leave the construction site.

Noise Control 58. Construction facilities and equipment will include bulldozers, air picks, air compressors, excavators, graders, stabilizers, concrete mixers, drills, stone-crushing and screening, rollers, poker vibrations, concrete pumps, loading machines, and other heavy machineries. The noise intensity levels of these machines are listed below.

The sound reduction function of the hoardings is not considered in the calculation; ii) limit refers to the Noise Limits for Construction Site (GB12523-90); and iii) unit is dB(A).

60. The contractors have undertaken a series of measures to reduce noise levels. Equipment that generates low levels of noise has been selected, and all machinery is properly maintained to minimize noise. Noise reduction devices or methods (e.g., hoarding) have been applied where piling equipment is operating within 500 m of sensitive sites such as schools. Concrete-mixing plants and similar activities are located at least 300 m away from sensitive areas such as residences, schools, and hospitals. To reduce noise at night, the operation of machinery generating high levels of noise, such as piling, is restricted to between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. in accordance with PRC regulations. The movement of heavy vehicles along urban and village roads has also been restricted to between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Solid Waste Management 61. Small quantities of garbage from construction camps is collected by the municipal sanitation bureau and disposed of in the municipal sanitary landfill.

Soil Erosion Control 62. The civil works contractors have taken measures to control soil erosion. Soil erosion measures during construction include minimizing land surface disturbance and exposure and use of settlement ponds. For those projects whose construction is completed, the plants are re-vegetated proper landscaping.

63. The implementation status of the mitigation measures, as proposed in the SEIA, is presented in the right column of the Table 8 (this table and the tables for this chapter thereafter are placed at the end of this chapter). In summary, the mitigation measures have

23 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2487-PRC: SONGHUA RIVER BASIN POLLUTION CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT PROJECT FOURTH SEMIANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (JULY 2012- JUNE 2013) to date been implemented effectively. Site inspections showing the status of implementation can be found at the end of this report.

5.3 Implementation of Environmental Monitoring Program

64. Internal environmental monitoring consists of two types. The first type requires field sampling and lab analysis that is undertaken by a licensed environmental institute (LEI), for such environmental parameters such water quality, air quality and noise levels. The second type refers to visual inspections of such things as soil erosion, restoration of vegetation, solid waste disposal and so on. The field sampling and lab analysis has been conducted, according to the environmental monitoring program as stipulated in the SEIA, by the respective municipal environmental monitoring stations under contract to the IAs. Field inspections have been undertaken by the on-site environmental engineers (OEEs) of the contractors, EMU officers and PMO officers on a regular basis.

65. External monitoring is undertaken by the environmental safeguard specialists of the loan implementation consultancy. The external monitor is responsible for advising the PMOs, IAs, EMSs and construction contractors on the environmental monitoring requirements, reviewing the monitoring activities and results, and assisting the PMOs and IAs to meet the environmental reporting requirements.

66. The detailed results of field sampling and lab analysis are presented in the ensuing chapter. In summary, the environmental monitoring program has to date been implemented properly although the supply of information to the HPMO is delayed for some subprojects.

5.4 Implementation of Disclosure, Consultation and Grievance Redress

1) Information Disclosure

67. A project information bulletin board has been erected at each construction site. The bulletin board contains a description about the project, layout map, construction safety, labour standards, environmental and health standards, name of the contractor(s) and names and contact information of the on-site managers and company executives.

2) Public Consultation and Grievance Redress

68. The implementation status of the public consultation program, as proposed in the SEIA, is presented in the right column of the Table 9. In summary, the public consultation program has to date been implemented. Questionnaire surveys have been completed for some subprojects, and are planned for others.

69. At the beginning of project implementation, a grievance redress mechanism (GRM) was established. The environmental officers in PMOs and EMUs also serve as the grievance focal points (GFPs). The GFPs have visited construction sites on a regular basis. During the site visits, the GFPs have interviewed the local residents living near the construction sites. The informal interviews have focused on public complaints about community annoyances from construction activities, such as construction noise and dust, as well as public concerns about the environment and resettlement.

70. Contact information for the contractor and on-site project managers has been posted at each construction site (see above). Public complaints and concerns can also be channelled through the hotlines of local EPBs. During site visits, the loan implementation consultants met with local EPB officials who advised of no recipient of complaints.

24 PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA – ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOAN 2487-PRC: SONGHUA RIVER BASIN POLLUTION CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT PROJECT FOURTH SEMIANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT (JULY 2012- JUNE 2013)

71. According to information from the local EPBs, EMUs/IAs and OEEs/construction contractors, no complaint has been received through the formal grievance mechanisms (EPB hotline, and posted hotlines of construction contractors at the construction sites). The other consultation activities, including informal interviews during site visits and workshops, have received a series of comments and suggestions from the local residents. The results of consultations are summarized in Table 9.

72. A questionnaire survey of local residents was undertaken for each subproject. The results are provided in Appendix 1.

5.5 Fulfilment of Environmental Responsibilities

73. An environmental management system, consisting of inspection, monitoring, reporting, and initiating corrective actions or measures, was set up prior to project implementation. In the design stage, HPMO and IAs passed the EMP to the design institutes for incorporating mitigation measures into the detailed designs of the subprojects. The EMP was reviewed and confirmed at the end of the detailed design, and was finally passed onto selected contractors. To ensure that contractors will comply with the EMP’s provisions, HPMO and IAs prepared and provided the following specification clauses for incorporation into the bidding procedures: (i) a list of environmental items to be budgeted by the bidders in their proposals; and (ii) environmental clauses for contract conditions and specifications.

74. EMUs were established within the IAs prior to the start of the project implementation. It is charged with the responsibility of coordinating and supervising the EMP implementation. The EMU is headed a deputy general manager of the IA. The IA has also recruited an environmental officer who also serves as the focal point for grievance redress. Meanwhile, the IAs have used the local environmental protection bureaus in supervising the environmental management system.

75. The status of fulfilment of environmental responsibilities is summarised in Table 10.

5.6 Status of Compliance with Loan Covenants

76. All environmental safeguard provisions and covenants have been complied with. A summary is provided in Table 11.

6. Environmental Monitoring

6.1 Introduction

77. Environmental monitoring here involves two levels of environmental monitoring: (i) regular internal environmental monitoring carried out by the contractors and supervised by the construction supervision engineers at sites at all time; and (ii) periodical external environmental monitoring by the municipal environmental monitoring stations which take samples and conduct analysis according to the stipulated procedures and guidelines.

78. Internal monitoring is primarily qualitative, based on visual observations, as a tool to supplement external monitoring. On the other hand, external monitoring is quantitative and serves as a legal obligation to demonstrate regulatory compliance.

79. All plants have fulfilled the environmental monitoring requirements during construction, trail operation and operation stages. To date, nine of fourteen subprojects have completed the environmental auditing. Following shows the relevant environmental monitoring data during this reporting period.

6.2 Environmental Monitoring Results

7. Conclusion and Recommendations

112. Up to the end of June 2013, 12 of 14 subcomponents have completed civil construction. Those plants are in trial operation or normal operation. During this period, adequate attention has been paid to the implementation of mitigation measures and environmental monitoring. Through the implementation of the mitigation measures, the environmental impacts have been prevented or reduced to the minimum level possible.

113. Environmental provisions have been incorporated into the civil works contracts. Field inspections by the independent construction supervision agencies, respective project city PMO environmental officers, IAs’ environmental officers and loan implementation environmental consultants have confirmed that the civil works contractors have complied with the environmental requirements.

114. Each of the municipal PMOs has assigned one officer. Each of the IAs has assigned one manager and one officer in charge of environmental management. They also serve as grievance focal points. Project and contact information has been posted in the bulletin boards at all construction sites. Public complaints can also be lodged in municipal EPBs’ 24-hour telephone hotlines and webpages. To date, there have been no public complaints about the environmental impacts of the project.

115. Environmental monitoring has been conducted on a quarterly basis in accordance with the environmental monitoring program contained in the SEIA. The environmental monitoring covers air, water, noise and soil erosion. No violations are found. However, no environmental monitoring data for the newly added Luobei County Fengxiang Town Wastewater Treatment and Sewerage Network Improvement Project and Mudanjiang Sewerage Network Improvement Project have not been provided. The consultants will work with the Heilongjiang PMO obtain the data from the two IAs.
