IWHR Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject environment, Henan Province government stipulated that, before 2007, each county should at least build one wastewater plant. At present, each county is striking its brain seeking for various fund channels to carry on the construction preparations. This project, taking the water supply as its main project, has bought into line with 5 wastewater treatment projects.

According to the state's legal rules as well as World Bank procedure request, the items of basic construction must carry on the EIA in the FSR stage. In accordance with the requirementments of state's law, an EIA study must be carried out for each 42 independent sub-projects. Entrusted by Henan Province Overseas Loan Project Management Office, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) has undertaken the drafting of the integrated EIA report of this project. The integrated report, based on the EIA report table of each sub-project and according to the ' Notice on the strengthening of the EIA Management Work of Loan Constuction Project in International Finance Corporation (1993)' issued together by National Environmental Protection Bureau, Planning Committee, Ministry of Finance and People's Bank of China, put forward the modification and improvement suggestions to the finished monomer EIA report table in the drafting period, and bring forth the technical guidelines and requirements to the monomer EIA report table which is under drafting or is planned to draft. 1.1.2 Purpose and characteristics of this report

The principle of drafting

The 42 monomer EIA reports based on this integrated report have different drafting progress: some projects (taking up around 1/3 of the total) have ended the drafting ealier and have been reported to the Municipal Environmental Protection Burreau in Henan Environmental Protection Bureau for examination and approval in 2003, according to the state's legal procedures. And the examination and approval units have come up with relative suggestions. The report table is entitled the legal effect. Some other part of the projects started the prophase research in a later period. They started relative research only when the project was brought into World Bank's loan, and the drafting of its EIA report table is simultaneously undergoing with the integrated report which will be completed in 2005 successively. And still others haven't started EIA work when the integrated report is under drafting. The above-mentioned reality brought difficulties to the drafting of the integrated report to some extent. To better complete the integrate report, after the full discussion with the World Bank experts and French consultant organizations, this report, based on the above mentioned objective situations, adopts the following drafting principles in the course of environmental impact assessment:

1) The EIA report table early completed and already approved is taken as the basic material of this report. This kind of EIA report table doesn't take into consideration the World Bank loans when drafted, and its drafting was carried out according to relative requirements of the state, not taking into consideration of the standard and requirements of the World Bank. For example, aspects such as public consultation, information disclosure and environment management are relatively insufficient. In view of this, this report proposed supplement suggestion to the EIA of sub-project, and meantime the sub-project has also submitted the relative supplement material.

2) To EIA report tables of sub-project which are drafted at the same time of drafting of this report, technical guidelines and requirements are put forward to them according to the related standard and the request of EIA in World Bank. The EIA report table completed and finally approved by the domestic examination and approval institution will be taken as the basic material of this report.

3) To sub-projects which haven't yet been carried on the EIA in the drafting of this report, the guidelines for the drafting of EIA report table are provided so as to ensure that the EIA will be completed according to the related request of the World Bank. IWHR 2 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Purpose of the drafting

The drafting purposes of this repot are as follows:

To provide to the World Bank one piece of report that assesses the project's environmental impact as well as its protection measures from a universal perspective (including environmental management plan);

To provide technical guidelines (Appendix C) to the sub-projects which haven't completed the EIA when this report is submitting to the World Bank as well as any sub-project that might be added later, in order to ensure its completion of EIA as per relative requirements of the World Bank and to minimum the project's impact on the environment.

EIA report table of the sub-project based on the drafting

Up till the hand-in time of this report, all of the 42 EIA report tables. as the based document of the integrated FEA report, have been completed. And 41 tables have been approved, except for the table of the water supply prolject of Yangshan District is to be approved.

As to the details of the drafting and approvals of the EIA of sub-project, see Appendix A.

Composition of the EIA documents

There are 3 types of EIA documents relating with this project:

The Integrated EIA & EMP (hearinafter refer to as integrated report) (Chinese edition);

The Integrated EIA & EMP (hearinafter refer to as integrated report) (English edition);

The Monomer EIA (also refer to as EIA of sub-project) (Chinese edition only).

This report provides the World Bank with the English edition.

Procedure for examination and approval

The above-mentioned EIA documents have different procedures for examination and approval, among which the monomer EIA only has the Chinese edition and will be examined and approved by Henen Environmental Protection Bureau or the local Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau (each sub-project is mutually independent). In accordance with the laws and regulations, the Chinese edition in the integrated report will be examinated and approved by related Environmental Protection Bureaus. The English edition of the integrated report submits to the examination and appoval of the World Bank. 1.2 Foundation of Drafting 1.2.1 Security policy of the World Bank

After careful selection, the following policies of the ten security policies of the World Bank are brought into the procedure of EIA (environmental Impact Assessment):

--Environmental assessment (OP/BP/GP4.01)

--Natural habitat (OP4.04)

--Cultural heritage (OP4.11)

IWHR 4 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 1.2.5 Letters of entrustment

Letters of entrustment of the EIA (Appendix A); 1.3 Assessment Criterion

The involved environmental standards are as follows:

Environmental Quality Standards: Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water. (GB3838-2002), Quality Standard for Ground Water (GB/T14848-3), Water Quality Standard for Drinking Water Resources (CJ3020-93), Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water (GB5749-85), Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095-1996) and Standard of Environmental Noise of UrbanArea (GB3096-93).

Pollutant Discharge Standards: Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-96), Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Coal--burning Oil-burnig Gas-fired Boilers (GB13271-91), Noise Limits for Construction Plant (GB 1223-90), Standard of Noise at Boundary of Industrial Enterprises (GB 12348-90), Control standardsfor Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use (GB4284-84) and Discharge Standard of Pollutantsfor Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002).

Since the EIA of each sub-project is carried out independently by the qualified EIA units entrusted by the property units. The assessment criteria are determined by the assessment units according to the environmental conditions of the legal address of the projects and national guidelines of environmental impact assessment. These criteria also win the approval and affirmation of the Environment Protection Bureau of the province (or the city). The general unit filing the statements reviewed the assessment criteria adopted by the environmental impact statements of these sub-projects. They thought part of the criteria is reasonable and part of them needed complementation. The assessment criteria and normal values adopted by each sub-project is to be seen in Appendix B.

In the EIA report table of part sub-projects, the same standard is applied in the EIA of noise. It didn't make any difference between the rural areas and the urban areas. It is advised to apply different standards in different areas. For example, in rural areas, to apply Class-I standard of Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB3096-93), in downtown streets, where sensitive items are located along, to apply Class I or II standard (for residence and education areas, to apply Class I, for mixture areas of residence, commerce and industry, to apply Class II).. 1.4 Assessment Level

According to the relative stipulations of the World Bank, the environmental impact assessment of this item is determined as Category B through carrying out an environmental screening from the type, position, sensitivity, scale, the feature and cope of potential environmental impact.

According to the defining principles of environmental assessment impacts on the assessment Level in "the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment" (HJ/T 2.1-2.3-93), and according to the fact that the sites of the sub-projects are widely divided, following assessment Levels are brought up. 1.4.1 Assessment Level of aquatic environment

Assessment Level of aquatic environment is determined by the wastewater discharge amount of the construction items, the complexity of wastewater quality, the scale of the inhaled waters and the demands of water quality. The sub-projects of this project are mainly water supply projects. The finished project itself doesn't discharge wastewater except a very small amount of wastewater during the construction period. However, considering the fact that this project is mainly water supply project, the impact of water quality on the water source site during

IWHR 5 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the operating period is the key point of assessment. So the water environmental assessment Level is determined as Category II. 1.4.2 Assessment Level of atmospheric environment

The finished project doesn't discharge exhaust. However, during the construction period, the exhaust discharge of the machinery and vehicles and the flying dusts on the roads will have slight effect on local atmospheric

quality. The affecting factors are mainly PM1o. Atmospheric EIA is drawn up as Category III. 1.4.3 Assessment Level of acoustic environment

According to Technical guidelines for EIA Acoustic environment HJ/T2.4-1995, the Level of environmental noise impact assessment should be determined according to the classification of the noise source, the source strength and the acoustic environment of the place where the project is located and other factors.

During the operating period, the project doesn't produce strong noise source. The noise harassing the people is mainly produced during the operating period. That is, the noise produced by the construction machinery and vehicles will have some effects on nearby residents. The noise impact is only temporary,(only during the construction period) . Taking all these factors into account, the assessment Level of acoustic environment is determined as Category III. 1.4.4 Assessment Level of ecological environment

This project is composed of 42 sub-projects. All of the sub-projects are in a small scale and are independent from other. Generally speaking, the project's major impact on ecological environment is the occupied farmland. But the places of the project location are in or near the counties, and there are no precious animals or plants or any other ecologically-sensitive protected targets. Therefore, the project will not have any adverse effect on the regional biotic community. According to the classification standards of "Technical guidelines for EIA Ecological environment of nature resource development"(HJ/T19-1997), ecological environmental assessment can be determined as Category III. 1.5 Assessment Range and Period 1.5.1 Project composition

The project is composed of 42 sub-projects (including 37 water supply projects and 5 wastewater treatment projects). 1.5.2 Contents of sub-project

Water Supply Project includes water diversion project, water transfer project, Water treatment project, and the construction of water distributing pipes and wastewater pipe network. It also includes gathering of soil and rocks, the discarding of residues , the camp building, the relocation of occupied land and the resettlement of affected residents which are relative to these projects.

Wastewater Treatment Project includes the construction of wastewater treatment works and wastewater pipe network. It also includes the construction of soil and rocks stock house and the field for discarding residues, the camp building relative to these sub-projects, and the allocation of occupied land, the resettlement of affected residents and disposal and transfer of sludge. 1.5.3 Spatial scale of assessment

Spatial scale of assessment, as one of the assessed targets, varies with the difference of environmental factors. According to the difference of environmental factors, the respective territorial scope is determined as follows: IWHR 6 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 2.3 Purpose and Profit of theProject

(1) Improving water-furnishing ability of the counties to solve the insufficiency of water furnishing.

This is a basic construction program mainly for the cities' water furnishing. Many problems remain in the 37 cities and counties in which all its 37 water-furnishing sub-project locates. There water furnishing devices are not advanced, water furnishing is insufficient and the water pipe system covers too little area. The high speed of population growth made the problem of water supply more and more urgent. After the project is built, the newly added water supply capacity will be 765.000t, providing industrial and domestic water 279,225.000t/a, which can be used to improve the status quo of water utilization for 3,892,400 inhabitants in the county and solve the water utilization for 5,394,700 inhabitants in recent period (2010) as well as the running water supply to the industry and inhabitants in the project area for a long term. It will provide an important guarantee for the sustainable development of the county's economy in Henan Province. As to the water supply profit of each sub-project, see Table 2-1.

(2) Providing fine quality water and improving the inhabitants' drinking health

According to the site survey as well as the materials provided by each county, the running water penetration rate is low, with individual (for example, Yuanyang in City) has no water works up till now. There are a great number of self-prepared wells in organs, schools and hospitals in each county, and still some families take drinking water from the hand-pumped wells. The utilization of self-prepared wells, on one hand, results in disorder exploitation, and on the other hand, the pumped shallow-layer groundwater suffers pollution to different degrees due to the human's activities on the surface, and direct drinking of this water without any processing will be harmful to the inhabitant's health.

There are drinking-water endemics caused by geologic origin and water pollution in part of the project's area. For example, according to the social assessment report, underground water in the area of Mengzhou, Xinxiang, Fengqiu and Yuanyang of Yubei, which is belong to Yellow River alluvial plain, contains over standard nitrate (which is mainly shallow-layer groundwater). This area always is the high incidence area of oesophagus cancer and gastric cancer. Several wells' water tastes salt and astringent. In , and of Yudong plain, as for its cause of formation, some areas are high-fluorine water area because their shallow-layer groundwater contains much more fluorine and alkali. Usually, many people have decayed teeth when they enter full mature, and the ratio is 60%. Cities and counties all find one or two Kaschin-Beck disease, dental fluorosis and etc. According to the confirmation of county level board of health, the main reason is that shallow-layer groundwater contains much more fluorine. For example, in Tongxu, fluoride in shallow-layer groundwater is more than 2.5 times beyond the standard. After the check of the cases in hospitals these years, it is found that the incident rate of those people who do not drink tap water is much higher than those who drink tap water1 21.

Thus it can be seen, in the project area, there are many phenomena where the inhabitants use the polluted shallow-layer groundwater pumped from the self-prepared wells of the ground water doesn't conform to the drinking water standard caused by the geological structure, seriously threatening the health of the inhabitants. The inhabitants have high calls for the exploitation of new water source and the promotion of the water quality, and meanwhile, the government has already paid much attention to these problems.

IWHR 17 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject After the building of this project, many sub-projects will collect the domestic water which was originally taken from the polluted or high-fluor and high-nitrate shallow-layer groundwater and will provide the purification process to it until it satisfies the sanitary standard for drinking water. For example, in Yuanyang the manganese and arsenic in shallow-layer groundwater exceeds the allowed figure, and deep-layer groundwater is planned to exploit; in Tongxu, the fluorine in Sui shallow-layer groundwater exceeds the allowed figure, and deep-layer groundwater is planned to exploit; in Taikang, nitrate in shallow-layer groundwater exceeds the allowed figure, the fluorine in intermediate deck ground water exceeds the allowed figure, and deep-layer groundwater is planned to exploit. Therefore, this project plays an important role in improving the life quality in the county and guaranteeing the inhabitant health.

(3) Improving or perfecting the status quo of the water supply and drainage, enhancing the city water supply penetration rate and the wastewater collection rate, saving the water resources and protecting the region alenvironment.

In the project area, the fundamental condition of the water supply in the county is generally weak, the current supply scale is small, the facilities are miserable; the water distribution pipe network is aging and unreasonably laid out; running, emitting, dropping, leaking and other phenomenon of water waste are extremely serious. Disorder exploitation to ground water using self-prepared wells not only wastes the water resources and pollutes the surface water, but also results in 'funnel' phenomenon to the ground water in partial areas. In addition, all the counties in the project area have no wastewater treatment plants; the surface water is seriously contaminated and has already had an impact on the water quality of the shallow-layer groundwater. The above-mentioned situations seriously inhibit the economic development and the improvement of peope's life in this area. The construction of this project will improve the status quo of the supply and drainage systems, the enhancement of penetration rate and wastewater collection rate, economic utilization of the water source as well as the environmental protection.

4) Through the construction of infrastructure, investment environment is improved, channels of financial investment are opened up, and employment opportunity is increased, highly speeding up the industrialization and urbanization of the region, and promoting the coordinated development between mid-China city group and urban economy. It is also the foundation of the full construction of Henan affluent society and its grow-up.

At present, China is in the period of high-speed development in economy. The construction of big, middle and small cities is at the fast development condition. From the aspect of long range, rational exploitation and use of natural resources and environment protection are a strategic question for the sustainable development of national economy and the society.

With the quickening process of urbanization and the enlarging scale of cities, the city has an increasing demand for water resources. At present, the urbanization level of our country is 36%. It is forecasted according to relative research that the urbanization level will reach 60% and the city dwellers will reach 0.96 billion, twice of the current city dwellers. Therefore, there is still much development space for urbanization. The water supply project is the essential condition for the development of cities and belongs to infrastructure. With the development of urbanization, the demand of the urban water supply works for the utilization of water resources will also increase. In the coming 50 years, the ratio of city water supply to the total water supply will increase from 25% to 395. In the middle of this century, the water supply of our country will increase by 170 billion tons, and 140 billion will be used for city drinking water. That is, the newly increased 82% water supply is city water supply. The future water supply will show such features: 1) with the quick development of city water supply industry, the ability of water supply will also increase. 2) The construction of water supply facilities arouse great focus of governments of all levels and the investment on water supply facilities will increase continuously. 3) IWHR 18 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject The structure of city drinking water will change and it is forecasted that water for production and drinking water will account for 50% of the total water supply. 4) The increase of city water supply shifts to the growth of quality. The orientation of the water supply projects of middle and small cities in Henan Province meets with the developing trends and the current situations of water supply of the whole country.

From the aspect of general development of Henan province, the meanings of this water supply and drainage project are as follows: ClThe construction of this project is the requirement of the building of an affluent society and the realization of grow-up of mid-China. According to the policy of the central government and its actual situation, the government of Henan province puts forward The Program of Fully Building Affluent Society of Henan Province[3 ]. Its aim is to take the road of industrialization, urbanization, and modernization of agriculture, to make driving effect as the cock of mid-China city group, to stand in the front of the Middle West in China, and to realize the grow-up of mid-China. Apparently, this project can improve the production and living condition of the local, optimize economic development and investment environment, increase the attraction to outside fund, people and materials, strengthen competitive power in economy among different areas, and greatly support its grow-up. EJ It is the requirement to speed up the process of urbanization. In 2003, the government of provincial committee put forward The Decision of Speeding up the Process of Urbanization (No. 9 [2003]) 14] Its aim is to speed up the construction of mid-China city group, which takes city as the center. Along with urbanization, the population concentrates rapidly, industrial parks and development zones emerge as the times require, and the quantity of companies increases in a large amount, so that new requirement of water appears. As a result, in order to improve the level of urban infrastructure, and to improve investment environment, it is need to vigorously develop urban water supply and drainage construction, and to rationally utilize water resources. The construction of this project has very important significance in establishing mid-China city group. EJ Besides, It is the requirement to carry out related policies and regulations of the country, and also a good chance for the construction of small cities to connect with the world. 2.4 Scale of the Project

Averagely, scale of a single Water Supply Sub-project is 10-35kt/d. The extent of Water Distribution Network is 36.456-i 11.74km. The scale of Wastewater treatment projects is 20-30kt/d. The extent of Wastewater Collection Network is 17.995-79.708km.

Scale of the project is illustrated in detail with Table 2-2. 2.5 Contents of the Project

The construction of Water Supply Sub-project mainly consists of Water Diversion Project, Water Transfer Project, Water Treatment Project, Water Distribution Project and accessory buildings. There are two kinds of water sources: surface water and ground water. Therein, 7 sub-projects' water sources are surface water and 25 sub-projects' are ground water. In addition, there are 5 Pipe Network Projects: Kaifeng Water Supply Project Project, Xinxiang Water Supply Project Project, Yima Water Supply Pipe Network Project, Luoshan Water Supply Project and Wastewater Project (city pipe network), Water Supply Project in Yangshan District, Xinyang. Among above sub-projects, Tongxu, Suixian, Suiping, Xinye, Luosyhan, Runan also include wastewater collection networks. There are altogether 5 Wastewater Treatment Sub-projects, whose contents mainly include construction of wastewater treatment plants and wastewater collection pipe network.

The constitution of each sub-project is illustrated in detail with Table 2-3 and Table 2-4.

The details of geographic position and distribution of each sub-project of this project see Attached figure 1.

Topography and geomorphology: Henan lies in the junction between the second step and third step of China. The west topography is higher than the east. From west to east, the topography is from mid hill to low hill in turn, and then is the transition from hill to plain. In mountainous area, the ratio of hill area is 44.3%, and the ratio of plain area is 55.7%. In the north, west and south direction, it is surrounded by Taihang Mountain, Funiu Mountain, Tongbo Mountain and Dabie Mountain. Most of the hills are stone hills, and part of the hills is loess hills, mainly distributing in a few areas of Jixibei region, east borderland of Yuxi mountain area, and east borderland of east Yunan. The plain in the province is broad and extensive, of which the middle, east and north plain are made by the alluviation of Yellow River, Huai River and Hai River (Huanghuaihai plain). Its area is broad, soil is fertility, and it is an important farming area in China. Its southwest part is Nanyang basin, with specific land feature of ring and step, and the topography in the middle of basin is plain.

In the area of the 42 sub-projects of this project, there are three types topography --- plains, hills and basins, most of which lie in plain area, and the details of which see Attached figure 4 and Table 3-1.

Annual mean temperature is from 12.8 to 15.5 1f, sunshine hours are from 2,010 to 2,640 hours, annual precipitation is from 240 to 1,080mm, and four reasons are clear, with the feature that winter is long, cold and little snow, that spring is short, drought and much of sand of storm, that summer is hot and has abundant rainfall, and that autumn is clean and has sufficient sunlight. The transmission of the climate is apparent in the province, and the difference among areas is visible. Its Funiu Mountain and main stream of Huai River lies in the geographical border --- Qin Mountain and Huai River --- which is the border among warm temperate zone and subtropical zone. The north area of this line is belong to warm temperate semi-arid and semi-humid climate, taking 70% area of the whole country, and the south area of this line is belong

IWHR 46 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject to subtropical humid and semi-humid climate, taking 30% area of the whole country. In addition of the apparent influence of monsoon climate, and the difference among south-and-north latitude and east-and-west topography, it brings out that heat resources are more in the south and the east than that in the north and the west, and that the quantity of precipitation is more in the south and the southeast than that in the north and the northwest. So the climate changes a lot in different areas. And the quantity of precipitation in Henan province mainly concentrates in summer, holding about 45 to 60% of whole year, and the instability of that is easy to bring out drought disaster.

Among the 42 sub-projects of this project, the sub-projects located at Luoyang, Sanmenxia, Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Jiaozuo, Pingdingshan, Zhoukou are belong to warm temperate monsoon climate, and the sub-projects located at Xuchang, Nanyang, Zhumadian, Xinyang are belong to the climate that subtropical climate is transiting to warm temperate climate.

Rivers and water system: Henan province strides over four major drainage areas, which are Huai River, Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Hai River .The area of each drainage area is separately 86,100 squire kilometers, 27,700 squire kilometers, 36,000 squire kilometers and 15,300 squire kilometers 7 I, separately holding 31.9%, 1.5%,4.5% and 4.8% of each major drainage area. The distribution area of Huai River and Yellow River in Henan province is larger than that of Yangtze River and Hai River. All over the province, there are 493 rivers of which the drainage area area is over 100 squire kilometers. Among these rivers, there are 9 rivers of which the drainage area area is over 10,000 squire meters --- Yellow River, Luo River, Qin River, Huai River, Sha River, Hong River, Wei River, Bai River and Dan River, 8 rivers of which the drainage area area is over 5,000 to 10,000 squire kilometers --- Yi River, Jindi River, Shi River, Ru River, Beiru River, Ying River, Jialu River and Tang River, 43 rivers of which the drainage area area is over 1,000 to 5,000 squire kilometers, and 433 rivers of which the drainage area area is over 100 to 1,000 squire kilometers 71 . Influenced by topography, most rivers originate from the west, northwest and southeast mountainous areas.

42 sub-projects of this project relate to four major drainage areas, the details of which see Attached figure 5 and Table 3-2. Among them, there is 1 sub-project locating at Hai River drainage area (Xinxiang), 4 sub-projects locating at Yangtze River drainage area (Nanyang), 12 sub-projects locating at Yellow River drainage area (Sanmenxia, Luoyang and Xinxiang), and the other 25 sub-projects locating at Huai River drainage area. The county area, which sub-projects locate at, of the four major drainage areas, shares the ratio of the total drainage area in the province of separately 38.9% of Huai River, 35.4% of Yangtze River, 26.6% of Yellow River and 3.4% of Hai River. So we can see that the area of sub-projects locating at Hai River drainage area takes the highest ratio --- nearly a half, that the Yangtze River and Yellow River drainage area is the second, and that the Hai River drainage area is the lowest. Among the sub-projects in Yangize River drainage area, Xichuan locates at the upstream of Danjiangkou reservoir (the water source of south-north water transfer project), taking great influence to the water quality of the downstream of Danjiangkou reservoir, and the other four sub-projects locate at the downstream of the reservoir, having little influence. In Yellow River water system, Yiyang, Songxian, and Yima locate along Luo River (the largest branch downstream of Sanmenxia reservoir), and Zhenzhou city locates at the downstream of Luo River, so that these counties take bigger influence to the downstream water quality. Huai River water system originates from Henan province, and there are 25 sub-projects of this project locating at up and middle stream drainage area, so that they take great influence to the water quality of Huai River. And especially the sub-projects locating along Ying River and Wo River, which are separately the first and the second largest branch of Huai River, are much more important to the water quality of Huai River.

Underground water: There is abundant underground water in Henan province. The quantity of shallow-layer groundwater is about 20.5 billion cubic meters, of which plain and basin valley take three quarters, and hill areas take one quarter. According to its situation, the underground water can be divided into two types: mountainous bedrock fissure water in Yuxi and Yunan, and shallow-layer groundwater and deep confined water in east plain.

IWHR 47 I I

Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject There are about 52,310 squire kilometers fissure cavern water and fissure ground water in mountainous areas, 108,794 squire kilometers pore ground water in plain areas (containing hills), and 84,700 squire kilometers deep confined water. Per capita quantity of water source in Henan Province is very low.

IWHR 50 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Vegetation: The distribution of forest vegetation is very uneven. Forest mainly distributes in Funiu Mountain area, the west part of the province, in which area of afforestated land is taking 73.5% of that in whole province. Besides, area of afforestated land is taking 10.6%, and the distribution in the middle and the east is less, especially in Zhoukou area and Luohe City, not having a wide range of forest. In there, there primarily are plain farmlands, and the forest mainly is Sipang tree and forest net. In the 18 cities (regions) of the province, forest resources are mainly distributed in Luoyang, Sanmenxia, Nanyang and Xinyang, totally taking 76.8% forest area of the whole province, and separately taking 40.0%, 37.0%, 34.6% and 31.8% forest area.

42 sub-projects of this project all locate at planning areas of counties, which are most farmland and uneven ground now, mixed with trees, which are almost Sipang tree and forest net of poplars, locusts and other common types of tree, little involves nursery. In project area, there is no natural vegetation.

Soil: Soil categories of Henan province are mainly yellow-brown soil, brown soil, cinnamon soil, fluvo-aquic soil, sand-black soil, saline-alkaline soil, and paddy soil. Among them, the east of Jingguang railway line, alluvial plain of Yellow River and Hai River north of Sha River and Ying River, and flood land of big river in mountainous areas mainly distribute fluvo-aquic soil. The area of Huaibei plain and Nanyang basin south of Sha River and Ying River, and the area along the side banks of Bai River --- Nanyang, Tanghe, Xinye, and Dengzhou, mainly distribute sand-black soil. Along the side banks of Yellow River, Xinxiang, Shangqiu, Kaifeng, Puyang and so on distribute saline-alkali soil. Flood clinoplain in the south of Huai River, shore in the north bank of Huai River, Xi, Zhengyang, Tang inside the province, and the side banks of the downstream of Bai River distribute paddy soil. Loess hill area of Yuxi distributes cinnamon soil. Yuxi and north mountain area of Zhongshan distribute brown soil. And in low-mountain and hill area of Yuxi distribute yellow-brown soil.

Natural disaster: In Henan province, hypsography of the west is high, and the east is low. In the south, there are mainly mountain lands, and in the east, there are mainly plains. Junction between mountain lands and plains is apparent, with very short zone of transition from mountain lands to plains, and with high speed of the concentration of channel. The entire province strides over four major drainage areas which are Huai River, Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Hai River, locates at the junction of south and north climate, with strong influence of monsoon, unevenness of the time and space distribution of rainfall and large changing through the entire year. It is one of the three areas that have the largest changing ratio of rainfall, so that the flood disaster happens often. Among them, plain areas in front of mountains have fertile soil, abundant surface and underground water, good irrigation and drainage condition, and strong capability of drought defying and waterlog control. The topography of plain areas in the east and southeast is even, and the areas are easy to be influenced by natural disaster. Some plain areas, for their low topography and bad drainage, are easy to be attacked by flood. In these areas, agriculture especially traditional agriculture is the main industry, having weak capability in resisting natural disaster. Its economy is highly influenced by natural conditions. For example, in August 1975, the middle and south area of Henan province took place extraordinary storm, which was unusual in the history, and bringing destructive disaster in that area. The flood broke down dams of two large reservoirs, two medium reservoirs, and 58 small reservoirs, influencing a population of 5.5 million, and causing nearly ten billion economic losses. It was the biggest flood after the founding of PRC. The breakdown of the dams was the main reason that brought out destructive disasters. Suiping, Xiping, Runan, Pingyu, Xincai, Luohe and Linquan were flooded with average water depth of 2-4m. During that, Suiping died over 100,000 people, and Runan died about 50,000 people. During the flood season of 2000, big flood took place several times in Shaying River, Hongru River and Tangbai River. Parts of the area were badly destroyed. During the flood season of 2005, large parts of Luohe, Pingdingshan, and Nanyang had strong rainfall, causing the flood taken place in branches of Huai River. Parts of rivers met over standard flood. The flood is just next to that one happened in 1975. Furthermore, as for the sand oil and saline-alkaline made by the redirection of Yellow River in the history, the east plain is easy to be influenced by sand storm and sand salt. IWHR 51 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 3.1.2 Social environment

Administrative divisions: With Zhenzhou city as its capital city, Henan province has now jurisdiction over 17 prefecture-level cities, 21 county-rank cities, 88 counties and 50 districts under city governments (update 2004). There are 51 minorities living in Henan, such as Hui, Meng, Mang, Zhuang and so on.

This project relates to 12 prefecture-level cities and 38 county-rank cities or counties.

Traffic communication: Lying in the middle east of China, and connecting the south, the north, the east and the west, Henan province is an important hinge of traffic in the inner land. The built railway line over the entire province is 3428 kilometers. Henan has Jingguang railway line, Longhai railway line, and Jingjiu railway line crisscross in it, and the newly built Asia-Europe Land Bridge Railway traversing in it. Capital city Zhengzhou, locating at the interjunction of Jingguang railway line and Longhai railway line, is the largest passenger-cargo transfer station at the east end of the Asia-Europe Land Bridge Railway. Zhengzhou has the largest freight transport station in Asia, and the largest container freight station in China. Roads extend in all directions in the province. Each village has its road. There are now 46 airlines. Henan is also an important communication hinge of China, having established complete service net of postal communication.

42 sub-projects of this project have convenient traffic and good communication.

Agriculture: Henan province is one of the important producing areas of agriculture and agricultural and sideline products, with cultivate area of 7,179,000 hm2. The output of grain, wheat and sesame takes the first place in the country, and the output of cotton, oil plants and tobacco leaf stands in the second. Forest and fruit are abundant, which are paulownia, apple, Chinese date, Chinese chestnut, Chinese gooseberry, watermelon and so on. Types of Chinese medicinal plants are many. Stock farming is developed, the big stock guard takes the first place in China, and production of meat is in the third place of China. In 2004, gross production of grain is 42.6 million ton, gross production of oil plants is 4.0875 million ton, gross production of cotton is 666.7 thousand ton, and the gross production is 6.43 million ton.

Those counties that the 42 sub-projects of this project locate in all have good environment for agriculture product. They are rich in producing wheat, cotton, tobacco leaf, vegetable, fruit and other agricultural and sideline products, and their stock farming are also very developed.

Industry: Henan's industry are mainly coal, oil, mechanics, electric power, chemical industry, food, tobacco, weave, construction, medicine and so on, among which coal, mechanics, electric power, chemical industry, tobacco, weave, construction and food are its pillar industry, main producing raw coal, crude oil, fertilizer, tractor, concrete, plate glass, cigarette, yarn and so on. In 2004, its industrial value increased by 386.218 billion RMB.

Generally speaking, the counties, which 42 sub-projects of the project locate at, have taken shape their industry, mainly producing coal, chemical industry, tobacco, weave, medicine and so on. Among them, some counties in Yuxi have abundant mineral resources, coal, gold and so on.

Economy: Total output value of the entire province in 2004 reaches 881.509 billion RMB, increased by 13.7%. Among them, primary industry increased by 12.8%, the secondary industry increased by 16.2%, and the tertiary industry increased by 10.6%. Three industries structure is 18.7 to 51.2 and to 30.1. Total output value per capita of the entire province is 9,095 RMB.

Population and life: By the end of 2004, the population of the entire province is 97,170,000 , with a natural growth rate of 5.2%c. City and town population is 28,090,000, taking up the ratio of 28.9%. Village population is 69,080,000, taking up the ratio of 71.1%. Henan province has high population density --- 581person/sq.km, which is about 1.7 times of the average of the whole country. In 2004, disposable income of town inhabitants was

IWHR 52 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 7,704.9 RMB, and per capita annual net income of country people was 2,553.15 RMB.

Education and Sanitation: In 2004, the entire province totally has 14,119 health agencies. Among them, there are 3,201 hospitals and health centers, with 206800 sickbeds, 2,065 health centers that are shared by countries and townships (counties), with 50900 sickbeds and 69200 health personnel. Counties that sub-projects locate at have good education conditions.

Cultural relics and scenic spots: According to the environmental assessment and site inspection offered by sub-projects, in most sub-project areas of this project, there is no cultural relics on the surface, no cultural relics that are found existing under the ground, no famous sceneries and forest parks related to this project. Only within Runan water source protection region, there lies the Tianzhong Hill, which is a historical and cultural site under county protection. It is famous for epigraph written calligrapher Yan Zhenqing of Tang dynasty. Lying 2 kilometers to the north of Runan, Tianzhong Hill is small and round, occupying an area of about 540 squire meters, which is 3.6 meters' high. The water source of this county's water supply project locates to the foot of the east side of Tianzhong Hill, and it is farmland now.

Public health: In the area of the project, there are drinking-water endemics in some areas. For example, according to the social assessment report, underground water in the area of Mengzhou, Xinxiang, Fengqiu and Yuanyang of Yubei, which is belong to Yellow River alluvial plain, contains over standard nitrate (which is mainly shallow-layer groundwater). This area always is the high incidence area of oesophagus cancer and gastric cancer. Several wells' water tastes salt and astringent. In Kaifeng, Zhoukou and Shangqiu of Yudong plain, as for its cause of formation, some areas are high-fluorine water area because their shallow-layer groundwater contains much more fluorine and alkali. Usually, many people have decayed teeth when they enter full mature, and the ratio is 60%. Cities and counties all find one or two Kaschin-Beck disease, dental fluorosis and etc. According to the confirmation of county level board of health, the main reason is that shallow-layer groundwater contains much more fluorine. For example, in Tongxu, fluoride in shallow-layer groundwater is more than 2.5 times beyond the standard. After the check of the cases in hospitals these years, it is found that the incident rate of those people who do not drink tap water is 10 times of the rate of those who drink tap water. Besides, shallow-layer groundwater from self-provided water is more or less polluted by surface human activities. If inhabitants directly drink the water without any treatment measures, it will be very harmful to their health. 3.2 Overview of the Counties' Environment

IWHR 62 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 3.3 Status Quo of the Environment Surrounding the Sub-project The environmental conditions whtere the sub-projects locate are basically similar with each other.

All the sub-projects of water supply are planned to construct at the edge of planning area in the county, which, looking upwards from the surface and the ground water flows, lies in upstream of the county. The water source sites planned to construct at present are generally farmlands, with countryside region in the neighborhood and upstream. Except the village, there is basically no other source of pollution. The industrial district or the planned industrial districts are located ar the downstream of the the water source

All the wastewater treatment sub-projects are planned to construct at the edge of planning area in the county, which, looking upwards from the surface and the ground water flows, lies in downstream of the county and close to the main rivers in that area. The water source sites planned to construct at present are generally farmlands.

As to the schematic of the environmental condition around the project, see Figure 3-1.

However, there are also some exceptions. For example, there exists the industrial source of pollution at the upstream area or the water source neighborhood: 1) Runan: There is one abandoned brewery boiler l50m at the upstream of water source site; 2) Suiping: There is one brick factory 150m at the upstream of water source site, which will be closed prior to 2005. There is one waste paper stock place of a paper-making plant in the range of the water source site; 3) Yiyang: There is some abandoned small industries at the upstream of the water catchment of the dam which are mainly brick plants; there is large quarries along the upstream of the river; there is one steel additive works and its matching electric power plant 7km at the upstream.

63 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 4 Environmental Status Quo

4.1 Survey of the Pollution Source 4.1.1 Source of water pollution

1) Survey of the pollution source near the water source sites

Based on the site investigation of 9 sub-projects as well as the analysis on the EIA report table of 37 water supply sub-projects, the situations of source of pollution near the water source sites are as follows:

* Water source is the project of surface water or shallow-layer groundwater. The water source sites are all selected at the upstream of the county where the village regions lie and where has a spacious neighborhood. There is usually no indutrial source of pollution around; the population in the village is smaller, so as to the life source of pollution. Its source of pollution mainly comes from the pollution of ground surface source such as the farmland, the vegetation and so on, the organic pollutant creates along with which will flow into the river and lake reservoir along the the surface runoff or penetrate into the soil, influencing the ground water but with a comparatively small amount of pollutant. As a result, the current water quality in the water source sites is fine. However, there are some abandoned small industries (mainly brick plants) at the upstream of Yiyang water catchment (taking the surface water as the source) as well as one steel additive works and its matching electric power plant 7km at the upstream. At present, water from the Luo River, as the source, basically keeps from the pollution and has a good water quality.

* For the projects which take the mid-layer and deep-layer groundwater as the water source, the water source sites are usually selected at the upstream of the county where the neighborhood is comparatively spacious. It is a village region with no industrial source of pollution. However, there is one abandoned brewery plant at the upstream of water source site in Suiping (which will be closed prior to 2005) as well as one waste paper stock place of a paper-making plant at the upstream of the water source site in Runan. Because these project water sources are deep-layer groundwater and the surface pollution basically does not have the impact to the water source water quality, water quality is good at present.

As to the status quo of the pollution source in the water sources of each water supply sub-project, see Table 4-1.

2) Overview of the source of pollution of Wastewater treatment projects

Based on the EIA report table of wastewater treatment t sub-project, due to the fact that each sub-project's wastewater receiving body reveives the industrial or the domestic wastewater, the organic pollution is serious, for details sees Table 4-2. 4.1.2 Source of atmosphere and noise pollution

Each sub-project plans to construct the water works (or wastewater plant). There is no obvious atmospheric pollution source and noise pollution source nearby water distribution pipeline. In spite of the fact that the water works are commonly neighbors the highway of the county, the exhausted gas from the vehicle can bring part of the air pollutions and the traffic noise from the vehicles will have certain impact to in the regional acoustic environment quality, according to the site investigation into 9 sub-projects, a great majority of paths are newly built, the traffic flow is comparatively small, part of paths have just completed and still haven't opened to traffic, and the exhaust pollution and the traffic noise pollution have little impact. According to the EIA report table of the sub-project, many places where the water works are planning to construct, the acoustic environment quality still can satisfy standards of LevelA or LevelB. 64 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject The water distribution pipes of wach each sub-project (or wastewater collection pipeline) are built on the steet of the county. Due to the crowded population in the county as well as the busy transportation, the traffic noise pollution and the vehicle exhaust pollution near the street largely impact the environment. 4.2 Status Quo of the Envrionmental Quality

As to the status quo of the water envrionmental quality, the atmosphetic environment quality and the status quo of the acoustic envrionmental quality in places of the sub-project, see Table 4-3 through Table 4-6, among which, the aquatic environment includes surface water and ground water. Surface water includes the main surface water and water of supply sources in project's area.

4.2.1 Water quality

(1) Water quality in the water source

According to the anaylsis of water quality of water source in FSR, water source review reports and water source survey reports, the status quo of the water quality in water source is generally good.

Among them, as to the project taking the surface water as the water source, the quality generally conforms to Level-II or Level-III standards in Environmental Quality StandardforSurface Water (GB3838-2002), with one or two project exceeding the standard. For example, water from the Lu River --- the water source site of Yiyang water supply project, has its alpha ferrite and manganese exceeding the allowed figure. However, as to the project taking ground water as the water source, the water quality generally meets the requirements of Level-IL or Level-III in Quality Standard for Ground Water (GB/T14848 - 93).

Regardless of the water source of the surface water and the ground water, the water quality of the source of most sub-projects meets Level-II or Level-III standards in Water Quality Standard for Drinking Water Sources (CJ3020-93) and is suitable to be regarded as the drinking water source. However, specific criterion of individual subject (mainly the water source project of surface water) cannot satisfy the standard and can be taken as the drinking water only after the processing and its reaching to the standard. For example, the turbidity of the water source, apparent articles to the naked eye, the total number of the bacterial colony and the total caliform group of Dengzhou water supply project cannot meet the requirements in Water Quality Standard for Drinking Water Sources, which needs processing in the water purification technology; the turbidity, caliform bacteria and the bacterium in Xinyang Pingqiao water supply project cannot meet the requirements in Water Quality Standard for Drinking Water Sources, which needs processing in the water purification technology.

In addition, as to the water supply sub-project, which takes the groundwater as water source, the water quality can generally satisfy Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water (GB5749-85) and Sanitary Norm for Drinking Water (2001-6), and the water can be regarded as the drinking water after simple treatment. As to the project which takes the surface water as water source, the ordinary turbidity, the total number of bacterial colony total, the total caliform group cannot satisfy Sanitary Standardfor Drinking Water and Sanitary Norm for Drinking Water. In this occasion, conventional processing (such as flocculation, precipitation, disinfection and so on) should be carried on. The project exceeding the allowed figure must conform to the requirements in Sanitary Norm for Drinking Water after running water purification processing.

(2) Surface water quality

The status quo of the surface water environmental quality of each sub-project in the county has differences, refer to Table 4-5 and Table 4-6.

In general, as presented in the above section, to the item which selects the surface water as its source and the item which selects the ground water as its source with the site near to the surface water and which depends on the 65 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject replenishment of the surface water, its surface water quality is comparatively good and basically reaches the standard (Level-II or Level-III). It can be taken as the water source site which adopts the method of centralized water supply. As to the projects which select the mid-layer and deep-layer groundwater as its water source, the surface water suffered serious pollution for the reason that it receives the domestic and industrial wastewater. At present, most water bodies are Level-IV, Level-V or inferior Level-V and a great amount of the water bodies cannot satisfy the water quality, with serious standard exceeding and most Level-V water bodies. Divided in accordance with the river basin, the environmental quality overview of the sub-project surface water refers to Table 4-7.

The receiving bodies of the wastewater treatment sub-project have serious organic pollution generally because of the reception of the industrial or domestic wastewater of the county.

(3) Ground water quality

In counties with sub-projects, the status quo of deep-layer groundwater quality is fine. There are differences among the shallow-layer groundwater quality: as to the projects that take the shallow-layer groundwater as the source, its shallow-layer groundwater quality is generally fine; as to the projects that take the mid-layer and shallow-layer groundwater as the source, its shallow-layer groundwater has suffered pollution from the wastewater drainage in the county, the water quality being unable to meet the requirements of drinking water. 4.2.2 Air quality

In general, the purification plants (or wastewater plants) of each sub-project locate at the village regions in the county. These regions are the junction of the urban and rural areas, with no obvious atmospheric source of pollution around and comparatively fine ambient air quality. They belong to the Level-I1 area in Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095-1996), with status quo of the ambient air quality satisfying Level-II standard. The status quo of the ambient air quality in county is comparatively poor due to pollution from coal burning and vehicle's exhaust. 4.2.3 Acoustic quality

The conduit pipes and the planned water works (wastewater plant) of each sub-project have spacious area, little noise pollution source and good acoustic environment, usually belonging to Level-I or Level-II area in Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB3096-93). Most parts of the status quo of the acoustic environmental quality satisfy the Level-I or Level-II standard, while a minority water works, due to its closeness to county's traffic trunk roads or highways as well as its big impact to the traffic noise, the status quo of the acoustic environmental quality exceeds the limit of Level-IV standard. The distribution pipes of each sub-project are planed to build inside the county and arranged along the street. The acoustic environmental quality around is bad and is mainly polluted by the traffic noise, generally exceeding the limit of Level-IV standard. 4.3 Main Environmental Problems

(1) The water resources are deficient. The Henan Province has extremely short water resources and the average water resources per person is 405m3 , amounting to only about 1/5 of the national average level and being the province which lacks the water most seriously in China. There are 38 cities with insufficient water resources all through the province, overwhelming majority of which are cities that seriously lack the water

(2) The water supply infrastructures in cities are weak. The current water supply scale is very small, the facilities is miserable, the distribution water pipes are weathering, the layout is unreasonable, and water running, emitting, dropping and leaking as well as other phenomenon of water wasting is extremely serious. Villagers and institutions in a great many counties still pumped water disorderly from the self-prepared wells, resulting

66 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the overdrafting of the ground water. In the meantime, due to the incompetent management, a great amount of water resources are wasted. The water quality in some counties nowadays cannot reach the sanitary standards for drinking water.

(3) Surface water suffers serious pollution. The industrial structure pollution in the region is extremely highlighted with dense population, large amount of industrial wastewater exceeding the allowed figures, and the domestic wastewater draining into the rivers without any processing or with only simple processing. As a result, the limited aquatic environment capacity is serious overloaded and the water quality is deteriorating, most water bodies of the surface rivers being unable to meet the requirement of drinking water.

(4) The shallow-layer groundwater in some regions suffered from pollution. Impacted by the surface water, the shallow-layer groundwater in part regions has suffered from pollution and cannot meet the requirement of drinking water, threatening the water drinking health of the local villager.

(5) The shallow-layer groundwater in some regions belongs to high-fluorine water and the local inhabitants generally get shallow-layer groundwater from self-prepared wells. There existing secret worries to the health of the crowd.

(6) The plain area in east and southeast of Henan Province has a smooth topography. Because of low-flatting and low-lying topography and unsmooth water drainage, large flood disasters have occurred through the history.

The water source site neighbors Jialu River to of the sub-project the east, Liumai River to the west and Kanggou River to the north. Jialu River has a long distance to the and site county and its lateral seepage has no impact on this area. Liumai River is at the upstream river closing investigation to the water source site which has fine water quality. At the junction of Beihuan Road and Binhe Road, i.e. the newly built water works, you can see obvious dividing line of the water pollution. The water from this point to the north Liumai River has good quality. However, Liumai River receives a great amount of wastewater when crossing the county and becomes one of the discharge channels of the industrial and domestic wastewater. The integrated water type is Level-V. The above-mentioned rivers can only replenish shallow-layer groundwater. The watersource productive intervals are middle pleistocene and lower pleistocene aquifers, i.e. the third and fourth aquifers (groups) and have fine aquiclude to the upper water, the hydraulic connection being extremely intimate. Under natural condition, it is mainly replenished by the lateral runoffs. The runoffs of the ground water move from northwest to the southeast, with stable hydraulic condition. 1-2 Tongxu Mid-layerand The water source site neighbors Wohegudao to the esat, Huija Channel to the west and Gudaoxizhi to In accordance with deep-layer the southwest.

Except pH value meet the project: Chan River normal standard, other indexes all largely exceed level-III Environment quality standard for surface water.(GB3838-2002). The main reason is the reach by the County upstream is dry up. The lower reach down the county receives the wastewater from the county. Two kilometers down the wastewater outlet, the water quality is improved due to the self-purification of the river. Except the pH value, the content of BOD5, CODcr and NH3-N exceed the normal standard. 2-II The Wastewater Treatment In accordance with the routinely monitored result by the Environment Monitoring Luoyang Station in January, Receiving water body of the Project by Songxian 2004, except TP content is above the normal standard by 1.24 times, other indexes of the Luhun Reservoir all project: Luhun Reservoir achieve level-l1 standard. 3-1 The Wastewater Treatment In accordance with the monitored result by the Environment Baofeng Station in 2004, the water quality of Receiving water body of the Project by Baofeng Tuoqiaopu section, Jingchang River (up the county's wastewater outlet) is OK. PH value and the content of project: Jingchang River BOD5, COD and NH3-N achieve level-IV Environment quality standard for surface water.

87 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 5 Analysis of the Layout and Schemes of the Project

5.1 Coordination with Higher Level Planning 5.1.1 Water supply projects

Henan Province has a large population, and its urbanization is in a lower level. In order to speed up its economic development, the government of Henan Province has put forward the construction of urbanization into the key agenda.

In "Henan Province Tenth five-year-plan of national economy and society development," the goal of urbanization has been put forward, that is to "speed up the process of urbanization, newly develop 7 million population in city and town, among which 6 million are displaced from countryside, by the end of tenth five-year-plan period, the population in city and town will reach 32 million and the level of urbanization will reach around 32%." Meanwhile, it has also been pointed out in the plan "to keep the construction of big-sized key regional cities, medium and small cities, and small towns at the same time, speed up the process of urbanization, and keep the development of urbanization and economic society in harmony." On the one hand, it is planned to develop and strengthen the key regional cities, to construct city group with Zhengzhou as its center, Luoyang and Kaifeng as the main pole, and enlarge the scale of the cities and speed up the development of the surrounding cities such as Anyang, Xinyang, Nanyang, Shangqiu, Sanmenxia, and effectively pull the economy development of the north, south, east, and west regions of Henan Province, and influence the surrounding key regional cities. On the other hand, it is planned to positively develop medium and small cities and develop small towns to the full. Select 20 county-level cities which are potential and of good foundation to hasten the process of urbanization and enhance the influence force of the cities. Try all means to develop small towns especially the construction of 115 key towns. At the same time, it will take effective measures to stably advance the urbanization through well designing, and enhance the construction of infrastructures including road, water supply, drainage system, waste water treatment, waste treatment, heat supply, gas, electricity, information and disasters preventing and reducing.

In 2003, the provincial government made "the decision of speeding up the process of urbanization of Henan Province." It clearly pointed out the guidelines, principles, and main goals of the urbanization in Henan Province. By 2020, the level of urbanization should reach 50% or above, and try to develop key regional cities, medium and small cities, to establish a fine environment for speeding up the process of urbanization, to hasten the infrastructure construction of city and town, to mobilize the mass people's positivity and try to raise funds to enlarge the investment scale of infrastructure in city and town, including traffic, water supply, drainage system, heat supply, gas, electricity, communication, information, and disasters preventing in order to promote the modernization level of city infrastructure all-around.

The people's government office of Henan Province puts forward the arrangement of urbanization in the government report concerning the key responsibilities.

In 2005, the provincial government will continue speeding up the process of urbanization, and try to increase 1.5% in urbanization rate compared to last year. It will advance the rational share and collective allocation of regional resources and infrastructures. It will design the infrastructure construction of city and town including water, gas, electricity and road to improve the infrastructure level of city and town and the operating efficiency of public facilities.

To sum up, the construction of this project is in accordance with the design and policy of Henan Province, that is, "speed up the construction of urbanization, mobilize the mass people's positivity, and try to raise funds to

88 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject enlarge the investment scale of infrastructure in city and town, including traffic, water supply, drainage system, heat supply and so on, therefore to promote the modernization level of city infrastructure all-around." 5.1.2 Wastewater treatment projects

Henan Province stretches over four drainage areas of Huaihe River, Yellow River, Yangtze River and Hai River. The water environment protection in this area plays a key function on the water protection of the four drainage areas. Especially in Huaihe River valley, its upstream is mainly located in the city of Xinyang in Henan Province and in the middle and east part of the province a large area belongs to middle valley of Huaihe River. Therefore the water environment of this area plays an important role for the water quality of Huaihe River.

In 2003, "Tenth five-year-plan of the prevention and remedy of water pollution in Huaihe River valley"'81 was enacted and enforced, and it made sure the responsibility of the four provinces---Henan, Anhui, Shangdong, and Jiangsu, to speed up dealing with the water pollution in the whole area. The area planned includes Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Pingdingshan, Xuchang, Luohe, Zhumadian, Xinyang, Nanyang, Shangqiu, Zhoukou and Luoyang in Henan Province. The investment is planned to amount to 25.59 billion yuan. The permanganate index and

NH3 -N are fixed to be the water environment quality index, while CODc, and NH 3-N to be pollutants drainage and total amount control index. The goal of water quality in the mainstream and key tributaries of Huaihe River is definituded, as well as the goal of pollutants emission control of all the planned areas. On the base, the working demand is raised concerning the three aspects---pollution treatment project, ecology treatment project and management enhancing project in city and town. Thereof wastewater treatment project is an important aspect of pollution treatment project. The scheme is to construct 161 urban and rural wastewater treatment projects in Huaihe River valley during tenth five-year-plan period. It will provide a capacity of 6.135 million t/d every day with the disposal rate reaching 70% in Huaihe River valley. The total investment amounts to 14.89 billion yuan. Thereof 34 projects are in Henan Province with investment of 3.14 billion yuan. It has a capacity

of 1.49 million t/d every day to reduce COD 830 thousand t and NH3 -N 12.1 thousand t.

Under the guidelines of "The prevention and remedy design of water pollution in Huaihe River valley" and "The prevention and remedy design of water pollution in Hai River valley" which are ratified by the State Council, Henan Province carries out the task of preventing and treating water pollution with Hai River valley as its main point. The goal of preventing and treating water pollution is definituded in "Henan Province tenth five-year-plan of ecology construction and environment protection" that, by 2005 the water quality of the mainstream of Huaihe River at prefecture and the state-controlled mainstream of Yellow River will stably meet the environment quality standard C for surface water environment quality, the main tributaries of the four drainage areas at prefecture will meet the standard of water environment quality according to water environment function, groundwater pollution in city is under control, all the drinking water sources in city will meet the standard B of water environment quality or better, drinking water in countryside will be well protected, sewage disposal rate in city will reach 45%". Meanwhile the task of preventing and treating water pollution is fixed. Thereof domestic sewage in city and town is one key point. It is pointed out in the scheme to demarcate the protecting areas of water sources, to protect water supply sources in key cities, to gradually alleviate the worsening ecology environment of key groundwater funnel areas, to construct wastewater treatment plants in all the cities at prefecture and key cities and towns in 2005, to search the utilization of benefit compensation mechanism, to rationally fix the charge standard of wastewater disposal, to establish market-operating mechanism of city wastewater disposal, to enhance the wastewater reuse rate after wastewater disposal, to make sure the normal and stable operation of city wastewater treatment plants, to enhance the environment protection of small cities and towns, and to focus on the construction of environment infrastructure.

In 2003, it is pointed out in "The decision of speeding up the process of urbanization by Henan people's government" to speed up the construction of ecology protection projects including garden engineering, 89 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject wastewater disposal, waste disposal, prevention and remedy of air pollution, to continuously strengthen the abilities of sustainable development and environment protection, and to construct gardening cities and ecological cities. By 2007,all the cities county-level above and counties and some key towns should have wastewater treatment plants and waste treatment plants. The quality of air and water emission should meet the standard in cities medium or above. The total emission of key pollutants of the whole province basically meets the environment require. Try to construct fine ecology environment in city and town with greening rate and coverage rate of afforestation meeting the national standard.

To sum up, the construction of this project is in accordance with the design and policy of Henan Province to enhance the prevention and remedy of water pollution and speed up the construction of wastewater treatment plants. 5.2 Aanlysis of the Choice of the Sub-projects in Henan Province

According to the project plan, water-supply projects will be developed in 37 counties, sewage firms will be built in 5 counties. The involved departments of the province government weigh the particular conditions and decided on the locations of these sub-projects, which involves in 12 counties in this province. Thus they show equilibrium in location. Besides, all the counties chosen are fast developing with poor conditions of water supply. They have urgent desires of improving the conditions but are in short of construction funds.

There are 110 counties in Henan Province, an average county has a population of 0.6-0.8 million in an area of 1000-1500 km 2. These counties play a role of political, economical, cultural center, and they are regarded as the foundation of the city-zone in central plain. To attain the aim of develop the central plain, we should rely on not only the drive forces from large and middle cities, but also from counties. 38 cities and counties are involved in this project, they locates in a large area across Hai River, Yellow River, Huaihe River and Yangtze River. This area is indeed a difficult and important place in the developing process of the whole province.

According to the hereinbefore analysis, the locations and objects of these sub-projects are rational. They will play an important role in city construction, in improving the standard of living and in attaining the aim of developing the central plain. 5.3 Analysis of the Sub-projects Scale

It is very important to decide on the scale of each sub-project, too small in scale is not good for further development, too large in scale means a waste in funds and resources. Thus it is difficult to decide on the proper scale. Towards the same project, even experts will draw different conclusion due to the individual difference in understanding and cognition. What's more, the governors will inevitably influence the decision. We claim in this report that a water-supply project in proper scale is one that meets the needs in the further development in 5-10 years.

The rationality report of each sub-project includes the estimate of future amount of water in need, which keeps pace with the development plan of the whole county. In October 2004, exports of World Bank censored on the scale of those subjects and modified most of them to limit the scale. In many counties, the modified projects were taken as the first one to bring into the lending process of WB. Further enlargement of scale depends on further need. In this report, we think that the modified scale is able to solve the problems in present, and can meet the need of development in 5 years. As a result, the scale is rational.

Each sewage depurating sub-project is based on the water-supply plan, water distribution and population of each county. Proper scale of sewage depurating is decided according to the quantity estimation of future sewage and industrial wastewater.

90 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 5.4 Analysis of the Water Supply Scenarios

Choosing the location of source is most important in a water-supply project. It concerns the quality of water, the environment protection, and the benefits of residents near the sources. It influences the benefit of the project and the protection of water sources. The layout of the project, as well as the technique of sewage firm is also determined by the location.

The Project Proposal, Feasibility Report, Water Source Demonstration Report of each sub-project take the location chosen of water sources as the key point to demonstrate. They make investigation on several plans and demonstrate on different aspects, such as the quality and quantity of water, the project investment, and the environment protection.

Most sub-projects lie in the alluvial plain of Yellow River, where is abundant in precipitation and groundwater, the thickness of soil layer is more than lOOOm: Since the water in rivers and reservoirs is seriously contaminated, groundwater serves as the only available water source. According to the city's development plan and the environment condition, the government department made careful hydrological survey of large scale. By all kinds of technical means, they also carry out geological perambulations; made water quality detection, and calculate to attain water quantity balance of shallow-layer, middle layer and deep-layer. Finally, they decided on the location of water source. If the shallow-layer groundwater is contaminated, they choose the deep-layer groundwater; if not, they will choose the shallow-layer as the source of some projects, and other projects choose both the middle and the deep layer. The disposal of well groups gave attention to the influence on other water consumers and set down particular measures. In this sense, these sub-projects are all rational.

In Yuanyang of Xinxiang city, the original water source location plan was denied because of the opposition of local peasants. The new source location is much nearer to the Yellow River, thus is more abundant in water source.

To give this report, we take 9 sub projects for example, conducting site visit, meeting with local departments to learn particular conditions; studying on Feasibility Reports, Water Source Review Report and Environmental Influence Report. We drew a conclusion that different counties have different geographical and hydrological conditions, as well as different executive views, so that the locations chosen are different. Generally speaking, under current social, economical and environmental conditions, the location chosen plans are rational. Then in following we'd like to make respective analysis on each project. 5.4.1 Analysis on water sources of pilot sub-project (taking 9 sub-projects for example)

(1) Weishi

The Weishi lies on the Yudong Plain in the east of Henan Province and southwest on the skirt of the Yellow River Great Impacted Fan. The integral topography by the County is inclined from east to west. The major physiognomy by the County is the low-lying plain. The average annual rainfall amount of this area is 692mm. In the Water Resource Reconnaissance Report and the Report of the Feasibility of the Project, the surface water and groundwater around the area by the County about 1298km2 wide are investigated and studied. After the process of investigating and comparing, the best water source is chosen.

1) Surface Water

The surface water bodies around the Weishi include the Jialu River, Liu Mai River, Shuangyi River, and Kanggou River. According to the statistics of the section's water quality, the Liumai River is the most heavily polluted one. The Jialu River is the second one. The Shuangyi River is the slightest. The first has received a

91 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject large quantity of the residential and industrial wastewater from the county. The second's pollutant source mainly comes from the upstream. In addition, except the Jialu River, others are all seasonal rivers, which means that they are often dry up, so can't ensure the water quantity. The surface water neither is not safe, trusty nor guaranteed if it will function as the water source by the County's water supply project. In addition, the cost of the project is high and the techniques complicated. So, it is not proper to use the surface water as the water source of the project.

2) Groundwater

The shallow-layer groundwater is mainly recharged by the air precipitation's leakage, the underground flow or from irrigation water infiltration. Those ways of groundwater recharging incline to be influenced by human factors and thus be polluted, which makes the water source protection difficult. At the same time, part of the shallow-layer groundwater by the County has been already to different extent polluted. In addition, the polluted area has enlarged. The water quality inclines to be further deteriorated .A lack of systematic management, planless and inorganized excessive exploitation has resulted in the falling down of the urban area's groundwater level. The quantities of water yielded of the self-provided wells are acutely reduced. Some self-provided wells are threatened to be useless. Hence, if the shallow-layer groundwater is used as the water source of the Weishi's water suppfy project, the cost will be much higher and the techniques much more complicated. Plus, the long-term, steady water supply cannot be ensured. Agricultural water may be threatened to be short. So, it is not a good idea to use the shallow groundwater by the County as the water supply project's water source.

In accordance with the assessment from the Reconnaissance Report of the Investigation by the Second Water Plant of the Tap Water Company of the Weishi, Kaifeng City, Henan Province, the temperature of the medium and the deep-layer water are not influenced by air temperature. The yearly change is not apparent. The major 2+ 22 05gL h ae anion is HCO3. The major chemicals are Na, Ca , Mg +. The mineralized degree is 0.3-0.58g/L. The water quality is good and fit for drinking.

The deep-layer groundwater around the Weishi has a good quality and a large and steady quantity, which is favorable for the long-term steady supply. The circulating cost is low once the starting fund is put into use in the project. The techniques applied are easy. So, it is recommended to use the deep-layer groundwater as the water source of the water supply project. In accordance of the above report, the water source locates in the north by the County, 200 m north off the Beikanggou River and 1000 m west of the Weikai Highway (from Weishi to Kaifeng). It will cover a area of about 3 kmn.

The Report of the Project's Feasibility" analyses through comparing the locations of the two supporting water plants in the north and middle by the County It studies the supporting water plants'sanitory conditions, the reduction of the circulating cost and the cost of the construction from almost every aspect. Finally, it is recognized that the northern part by the County has bigger advantage. In consideration of the direction of the Weishi's city terra development and the water pipe network's construction, the north scheme is favorable for supplying water for the old and new urban area. With the fact that the investment in the water pipe network is limited, the reliability and security of the water can further ensured. At the same time, the environment will not have a bad influence to the water supply sanitation.

Plus, the location of the supporting water plant also has the following advantages:

* Advantageous for the integral layout of the urban area of the Weishi

* Near the Xincheng District, this can save the construction investment.

* Near the IIOKV transformer substation in the south of the Weishi, which can ensure the electricity consumption 92 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Subject to Kaifeng city, Tongxu lies in the Yudong plain(the plain south of Henan Province),southeast of the fanlike alluvium of Yellow River, east in Henan Province. With a total area of 767 km , the county has an east-to-west distance of 31.2km, a north-to-south distance of 34.8km. Bordering the county, Fugou County and Taikang County are on the south, Qixian is on the east, Kaifeng on the north, and Weishi on the west. The annual average rainfall in this area is 962mm. In" A Reconnaissance Report on Water Resources" and FSR investigation and argumentation for the surface and ground water 30km2around the county have been carried out, and a best water source have been decided on finally.

1) Surface water

Near Tongxu, there are few sources of surface water, and the Wohe River often dries up or breaks in running, which leads to an insufficiency of water quantity; besides, the water is polluted, which is not safe, reliable or guaranteed as a water source for this project; even if the water were dealt with, the techniques would be complicated and the cost would be high, so it is not feasible economically and technically, too. In conclusion, the surface water is not suitable to be utilized.

2) Ground water

The agricultural production has a great impact on the shallow-layer groundwater in the estimated area, parts of which have been polluted and could not act as a drinking water source.

The replenishment of shallow-layer groundwater mainly relies on atmospheric precipitation, flux under shallow-layer, and pervasion of irrigation backing out, all of which water supplies are easily polluted by human activities and not easily protected in the sources. Meantime, parts of the shallow-layer groundwater in the county have been polluted in various degrees, and tends to deteriorate. Besides resulting from a lack of centralized management, a planless and unorganized excessive exploration of shallow-layer groundwater in a long term, the water table in the city zone has descended, which has caused many self-provided wells to reduce production tremendously, or even close to be discarded. So, if the shallow-layer groundwater becomes the source of the water supply project of Tongxu, it will certainly cost much and increase the difficulty in disposal techniques; besides, a long-term stable water supply could not be ensured, and a contradiction with agricultural water utilization may appear probably. In a word, it is not proper to use the shallow-layer groundwater around the county as a water source for this project.

According to "A Reconnaissance Report on water head exploration for No.2 Factory of Ton gxu Tap Water Co., Ltd, Kaifeng City, Henan Province": "the water temperature of middle-deep layer is usually 17-18 El, which is not affected by air temperature and doesn't change obviously; with a groundwater mineralization rate of 5-8g/L, the water is of HCO3-Na, Mg, Ca type and of good quality, which is quite drinkable."

To sum up, the deep-layer groundwater in the city zone of Tongxu is sufficient, well qualified and fit as a long-term stable water source; after a one-off investment by this project, it would cost low and involve simpler disposal techniques to deal with the water, so we recommend the deep-layer groundwater be used as the water supply of this project. According to "An Argumentation Report on Water Resources for the projects of No.2 Factory of Tongxu Tap Water Co., Ltd ": they chose as the water head place the area about 3km2 east of Tongkai highway (the highway from Tongxu to Kaifeng), west of the Wohe River and north of the county.

FSR also makes contrasts and analysis on the locations of two water supply plants north and southwest of the county respectively, expatiates in terms of the sanitation of the factories, the cost reducing of the project and its operation and so on, and finalizes at a confirmation that the plan on the northern part of the county is advantaged. Basing on the orientations of urban land utilization of Tongxu and the construction of the appurtenant water pipe network, the plan on the northern part makes it convenient to serve water to new and old

94 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject city zones, and can enhance the reliability and security of water supply with limited investment on the pipe network construction.

In addition, there are other advantages for the water supply plant to be located here:

* Accord with the requirement of the overall planning of the city zones in Tongxu;

* Save investment on construction because of the location near the new city zone of the county;

* Accord with the demands of the industrial layout. Lying in the boder district of the county, the water factory to be established will not disturb residents' normal life.

* Electricity is ensured thanks to the site near the 11OKv transformer substation south of Tongxu.

3) an argumentation on the water quantity

According to the calculation on water level drop estimation and resources supply volume, 35000 m3/d of water exploration quantity in water head area has plenty of supplies, and doesn't affect agricultural water utilization and the using of existent wells of the county; it is feasible to explore 35000m3 /d deep-layer groundwater daily. Because of a relatively high degree of cross-flux replenishment in deep-layer, there is no conflict with agricultural water utilization; besides, the deep-layer groundwater runs slowly, and now there is little exploration in deep-layer within the county, which makes the outlet of the water there depend mainly on running underground to lower reaches of the river, and this is one of the advantages in utilizing the deep-layer ground water.

4) Wells arrangement

According to "A Reconnaissance Report on water hlead explorationfor No.2 Factory of Tongxu Tap Water Co., Ltd, Kaifeng City, Henan Province": "As for the exploration plan of water head place for the newly built water factory, middle-deep layer and deep-layer should be explored respectively and in couples; in dry seasons, the focus of exploration would be deep wells while in rainy seasons shallow wells; middle-deep wells are designed each with a standard production of 80m 3/h while deep wells 60m3/h. considering comprehensively the factors, such as the present exploration quantity, investment management and underground water quality, the well arrangement of No.2 Factory is as follows:

* Mine 12 middle-deep wells in all with a depth of l00-150m, locate them in the way that the distances among them are the same 500m or so;

* Mine 12 deep wells in all with a depth of 500-650m,locate them in the way that the distances among them are the same 500m or so;

* Locate middle-deep wells and deep ones in couples; therefore form a water supply pattern of one house with two wells, so as to save additional piping construction and investment for water and power supply.

5) rationality analysis and problems

By all the conditions mentioned above, we could see from a comprehensive perspective that the choice made on the water head place for the water supply project is rational and feasible: the argumentation on the location of No.2 water plant is sufficient, scientific and reasonable; the ground water below the factory area is qualified in both quantity and quality, which could satisfy the long-term demand for water supply of the factory, accord with the present social, environmental and economic conditions, and assort with the construction scheme of the county.

As to the method of water exploration of the factory, the report suggests a exploration by stages of each layer 95 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject respectively: in rainy seasons when there is plentiful rainfall while little water utilization for agricultural purposes, the factory would explore middle-layer ground water, and vacate the underground reservoir to ensure precipitation supply; while in dry seasons, it explores mainly deep-layer groundwater, so as to solve the problem in water supply and alleviate the contradiction between urban and agricultural water utilization.

During the construction of the project, a comprehensive research on water resource should be enhanced, so as to explore the resource scientifically and reasonably and avoid problems in environment, hydrology and geology; at the same time, water head protective areas should be plotted out, and corresponding protective measures be formulated according to pertinent national laws and regulations.

(3) Lankao

Located in the center of the Huanghuai Plain, Lankao has an obvious different micro-landform, though vast and flat. In general, the land, with elevation from 57-75 meters, slightly inclines towards the east with a gradient of 1 in 5,000. The annual precipitation of this region maintains 678mm on average for years. The "Water Resource Demonstration Report" and "Project Feasibility Study Report" finally selected the new location of water source, according to the research and demonstration towards the surface water and ground water in 200 Km2 around the county in the two reports.

1) Surface Water

The main surface water source in the county is from the Yellow River, which flows past the county, so the surface water cannot be selected as the concentrated water supply. There are reasons for it.

Low guarantee of water supply

Increase of water demand along the upper reaches, decrease of surface water runoff, and frequent sway of the mainstream all makes the Yellow River through Lankao cannot meet annual demand from this county.

High sand content of the Yellow River

Because of high Sand content of the Yellow River, it will cost much more on land treatment, fundamental construction and annual transportation.

Most of the Yellow River dikes are farmland. Average land occupation of each farmer, near the water recourse location, is less than one acre. Mud and sand precipitating tank in difficult to build, so the problem cannot be solved, he water flow regulation cannot be made.

2) Ground Water

The deep-layer groundwater in this area has high fluorine contents, has salt water distribution and is incompetent to be taken as the water source of the drinking water. The survey suggests that in areas to the north part of the county (planning to construct the water source site), the shallow-layer water quality is fine, which in exception for manganese (according to the monitoring result in 2001, it exceeded 0.9 time of the standard), all other projects are in conformity with Sanitary Standardfor Drinking Water. Deep-layer groundwater in Lankao is fine. Based on the monitoring assessment (2001), except fluorine (fluorine content was 1.2mg/L while the national standard was I.Omg/L), all the other projects have conform to the national standards and norms. The project, after the water sources argumentation, plans to adopt the exploitation methods combining with the shallow and deep-layer groundwater. That is to mainly exploit the shallow-layer water in the rainy season and mainly exploit deep-layer groundwater in the arid season in an attempt to decrease the prophase investment of the water source site and to save the operation cost. In the meantime, the admix of the shallow-layer and deep-layer groundwater could ensure the reaching to the standard of the supplying water quality.

96 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Along in the Yifeng Channel of this county, according to a preliminary survey from a provincial geology engineering company water-bearing stratum in this are contains much water of good quality. Also the Yellow River near here seeps a lot into this area. Such abundant water supply is enough to meet the demand of 50,000 m3 per day. Without villages and other buildings, this area gets a flat terrain, so expense on pulling down old buildings when building new water plant will be less, and also it is easy to do construction. Most farmland water is from the Yellow River, few from ground water. There is no conflict between irrigation and exploiting shallow-layer well.

For all the reasons above, the FSR made its choice at the area along in Yifeng Channel

It also made a comparative analysis on location of two water supply plants in the report. It said that, both Plan One and Plan Two could meet the water supply demand. In Plan One, the location is fixed at the west of both Haunches Road and the former second water plant and next to the former plant, closer to the water source location than Plan Two. We can make a combination with the former plant to build the new one. The assistance production building can be used as a public building to both of them. It is also convenient to manage them after construction. Land expropriated by the old plant before can be used to save money. Compare to these aspects, Plan Two is on the contrary, though Plan Two has its own advantages, that is Plan Two near to the developing direction of the town, and it will supply the town together with the former factory from the two sides of the town.

3) Water Flow Demonstration

According to unstable water flow assessment, daily exploitation of deep-layer water should be no more than 3 3 2*104 m if daily expliotation is 2*104 i , the water level will drop by 58.54 meters after 30 years. During the running period of the new location, water supply is sufficient. Therefore it is rational to exploit deep-layer groundwater as the main exploitation.

Shallow-layer water can meet the exploitation demand of 1*104 m3 per day, which will not obviously affect regional water source. Through assessment, the daily exploitation of this location should be no more than 3* 104 m3, 2* 104 m3 from deep-layer water and 1* 104 m3 from shallow-layer water. The water supply scale of this new factory will be built at onetime. In 2010 the factory will provide water of 3*104 m3 per day. Allowable groundwater exploitation is enough to the water factory.

4) Wells arrangement

Water source location is fixed at two sides of the main canal in Fifing. 7 shallow wells are dug 400 meters from each other, and the depth is about 60 meters, at the same time, 10 deep-water wells are here, of which 6 are about 600 meters deep and 4 are about 400 meters between each other. All these 10 wells are arranged as plum blossom. It is better to make deep-water wells and shallow-water wells close to each other to make it form a facility with two wells in one house.

5) Rationality analysis and problems

According to the mentioned materials above, the selected location for this project in Lankao has an abundant demonstration, scientific and rational. The ground water can meet the demand of the water plant at both quality and quantity. Also it is scientific for the present social, environmental and economic conditions in the county. Still it is harmonious to the urban construction program. Therefore it is a certain that the report is feasible and rational to chose the location. During very dry years and continuous day seasons, because of difference of shallow-water exploitation, the water level maybe drop at a certain time, near some shallow-water well, which may lead to the rise of water fee of farming water and drinking water. The report made its suggestion, which is to take some measures to handle it, build sanitation protection area, develop a multi-objective supervision about 97 Environment ImpactAssesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject water quality, water quantity and water level of both surface water and ground water, protect water source, stop, close and buy urban private water sources as a system save water, build WWTP as soon as possible.

(4) Yiyang

Yiyang lies in western Henan province, in the territory of Luoyang city. With an average annual precipitation of 687mm, Yiyang lies in foothill area. There are many ravines and rivers, and Luohe River in west-east direction is the largest one. Luohe River has 15 first-degree anabranches, so the surface water is very rich. The feasibility report of this project calculated on the problem of water sources and finally Luohe River was chosen. In October 2004, experts from WB proposed some suggestions on the way of getting water. See more details as following:

1) Ground water

Since the county town lies in a valley, the accumulative stratum in the riverbed, floodplain and the first terrace along the river is no more than 10 m thick, and being restricted by both sides of the massif, the first terrace where stands the county is not wide, resulting in a limited groundwater storage. At present, the county tap water Co., Ltd has 11 wells, all of which lie in the city zone and provide water at the rate of 12,500tld. Besides, each unit in the county town owns plenty of self-provided wells; Among the 11 wells, two have been discarded as useless, another five have been dried up. All of the circumstances mentioned above accounted for the limited utilizable ground water sources, which are not suitable to perform as the water source of the new water factory.

2) Water quantity of the Luohe River

The Luohe River is a big river with abundant water storage, which could be the only source available for the county town lying on its strands. Originated from the southern foot of Hua Mountain in Shanxi Province, the main stream of the Luohe River is as long as 395km, with an area of 9,713km2of catchment north of Yiyang. There is a large scaled reservoir (Gu County Reservoir) in the main riverway 91km upriver the county, which was built in 1958 with a capacity of 1.2 billion m3. Thanks to the reservoir which functions as an adjuster and clarifier, the quantity and quality of the downriver water are better guaranteed. The tap water Co., Ltd has had an argumentation done for the quantity and quality of the river section within the county, and had a report authorized with the title of' An Argumentation Report on the water quantity of the Luohe River within Yiyang". Below is the estimate made according to the data provided in the report.

The annual runoff quantity of the Luohe River on average in years is 1.669 billion m3, with a maximum of 5.503 billion mi3 (in 1964) and a minimum of 0.495 billion m3 (in 1995). However, the quantity reduces obviously in recent years because of relative small rainfall, upriver exploration and the modulation of Gu County reservoir. According to the statistic data (of 11 years) since 1990, the annual runoff quantity is only 0.916 billion v, which is 45% smaller than before.

Within a year, the runoff quantity is not even from one month to another. From July to October, there are continual abundant flux (61% of the annual runoff quantity), among which September reaches the maximum, and in February appears the minimum (3.3% of the annual runoff quantity). In years with plentiful water, the maximal daily flux is 1930 m3/s, while in dry years, the maximum is only 548 m 3/s and the minimum is 7.9 m3/s. By probability statistics, the annual average flux is 16.4 m 3/s at the guarantee rate of 95%, which is enough to fill the water channels in use (4.18 m3/s ) and meet the need of this project in water utilization planning(25,000tld, which means 0.29 m3/s). however, because of the tremendously uneven distribution of the Luohe River in runoff quantity within a year, the average daily flux in years is 6.36 m3 /s concluded according to the average runoff in successive 30 days, and the flux with 95% guarantee rate is no more than 2.0 m 3/s, which is unable to satisfy the demand for water supply. Therefore, modulatory measures should be taken into

98 EnvironmenitImpact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject consideration in the water supply project of the county.

The annual rate for the sand contained in this reach is 6.04kg/m3 on average, 13.1kg/m3 as its maximum (in 1957) and 0.036kg/m 3 as its minimum (in 1999). From May to September, the sand contained is relatively rich, especially in the first flood of each year, the sand reaches its maximum. According to yearly statistics, the monthly maximal sand quantity is 45.8kg/m 3 (in June, 1977), and the low sand quantity turns up from November to the next March. In each year on average, there are 18.6 days when the daily rate of the sand contained is larger than 10kg/rm3, 340 days when the rate is smaller than 6kg/mr3; meanwhile, there are 2.3 times when the daily average of the sand contained is larger than 10kg/m3 in successive 3 days, 0.7 times in successive 5 days, and 0.2 times in successive 7 days.

3) The water quality of the Luohe River

The investigation Report of the water quantity adopts the data worked out by the Luoyang City Water Environment Monitoring Center from 1996 to 2002 to assess the river's water quality. The indexes of the assessment include the most important 15 ones: PH value, dissolvable oxygen, total hardness, chloride, sulfate, permanganate index, NH3-N, volatitle phenol, nitrite nitrogen, cyanide, arsenide, hexavalent chromium, total mercury and fluoride. The conclusion of the assessment: the chemical nature of the water in the Luohe River is good and steady for years. It basically achieves the standard by (GB5749-85) the Water Quality Standard for Residential Drinking Water.

The report has also analyzed the polluted status of the river. In 2002, all the indexes of the pollutants can achieve the level in GB5749-85 the Water Quality Standard for Residential Drinking Water. Between 1996 and 2002, the biggest monitored value in 1998 exceeds this standard. The maximum values of volatile Phenols in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 all exceed this standard.

The concerned government section which worked out the Environment Influence Report Form for this project carried out a sampling test of the Luohe River's water. They examined 20 indexes of the water quality. The content of iron and manganese exceed the national standards, but other indexes all achieve level-II Environment quality standard for surface water (GB3838-2002).Total hardness arrived at GB5749-85 the Water Quality Standard for Residential Drinking Water.

This form has also investigated the pollutant sources. In the area by the County, there is no wastewater outlet on the upstream of the intake. The present wastewater outlet in the county lies on the downsteam 4 km off the intake. The Wastewater Treatment Plant in the layout is also on the downsteam of the intake and the Water Purifying Plant.

4) Ways of Water Intakes

At beginning, the Feasible Study Report of this project suggests that water be directly taken out from the river. The intake is going to be on the riverside 4 km west by the County, where a 600m long dam has been built. The water way on the dam makes a water area whose depth is steady and enough for the project. This suggestion is feasible when considered from the angle of water intakes. However, the process of proving its feasibility is short and curt without being compared with other schemes. Because the sand content during the flood period is high, some water quality indexes sometimes exceed the normal standards, which requires high project techniques and cost to deal with it. In October, 2004, the experts from the World Bank censored the report and had a discussion. They holds the idea that the underground water leakage sap on the banks can be used as the spare water source, because it costs less than to directly take water from the river. Hence, it is necessary for the construction unit to continue to study the way of water intakes in order to devise a more reasonable scheme.

On the basis of investigation, this report puts forward a scheme: Several big well can be digged around the 99 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject outskirt of the authorized area to take water from. The well water can be replenished by the riverwater because the riverway and the floodplain have an accumulative stratum of 6m's depth, whose water leakage capability is good. The filtration of the water leakage stratum can to a great extent reduce the sand content in summer when the sand content is big. It can filt some pollutants in the water. During the extremely low water season (usually very short), along the riverway, the abundant groundwater quantity is also enough to meet the water supply demand. The above scheme is still going to be proved of its feasibility.

5) Disposal of the Existing Water Supply System

The Yiyang Tap Water Company has a clear scheme. After the new tap water plant is finished, the existing water supply establishment is going to be closed and protected, but not to be desolated. The equipment will be watched by certain person. The old water supply system can be started once the new system has some problems. This measure is feasible and can make the water supply much safer.

6) Reasonable Analysis and Suggestions:

In integrated consideration of the above cases, due to the low groundwater quatity, to exploit the Luohe River water source serves only as the only choice. Except the extremely low water period, usually the water quantity of the Luohe River can be ensured. In consideration of the water quality, the sand content in rainy season is comparatively bigger than usual. However, the annual average sand content is small. Most of the indexes of the water can achieve level-II Environment quality standard for surface water.(GB3838-2002). Only a few exceed this standard in certain seasons, but they all reach level-II standard. The total hardness meet the Water Quality Standard for Residential Drinking Water (GB5749-85). In accordance with certain national regulations concerned, the Luohe River can function as the surface water source. Hence, it is a feasible consideration to choose the Luohe River as the water source.

As for the way of water intake, the designing unit hasn't compared the ways to choose a best one. It is necessary to make efforts on this point.

The water environment on the upstream should be well protected, for the river serves as the drinking water source. The county government will decide the protected water source area, control all kinds of pollutant origins and prevent the gusty pullulating accidents.

(5) Songxian

Song is in west Henan province, and is member of Luoyang city. It is located on the hinterland of Funiu Mountain, so it is a mountainous county. County seat is 90km away to southwest Luoyang city, and it is near Yi river and Luhun reservoir. It is rich in underground water. The average normal rainfall is 649.6mm a year. The research report and "Water Resources Argumentation Report" has finally selected the best water source for this water engineering by comparation and preference.

1) Surface Water

Yi river runs through the county seat. Songxian is near the Luhun reservoir, so it is rich in underground water source.

Yi river is the biggest river in that area, and it originates from Hetaocha at Luanchuan county in north Funiu moutain. It is 80kms long within Songxian, and have water perennial, but the differentia of flux is big. In accordance with information from Dongwan hydrologic station at upper reaches of the river, the average flow is 21.9m3/s a year, and the least flux is 1.5m3/s. Luhun reservoir is located on the main anabranch of Yi river, and its cubage is 1.18 billion mi3. The main dam is 17.5kms away to north county. In accordance with the datum of Environmental Protection Agency of Luohe City, the index of water in the reservoir is I or II water quality 100 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan watersupply preject except the non-ammonia ion reaches IV water quality.

Although the amount and quality of water in the reservoir can satisfy the need that this expansion projects of water supply, the water level will have a big change, and the prices of structures for water harvesting is high. If we choose Luhun reservoir to be the wellspring, we must ensure that we can have the designed amount of water when it is in the low water level. The structures for water harvesting should be built on the bank of the reservoir 6kms away from the backward position of the county zone, and a single conveyance system is about 8kms. In order to satisfy the requirements of drinking water' quality, we have to set a water treatment plant which contains flocculating setting, percolation and handling of sterilized water.

There are many structures of water treatment, and the auxiliary construction area is big. In accordance with research report, if it is compared with the underground water, the cost of water supply will be at least increasedO.12 yuan per ton, so under the circumstance that both surface water and underground water can be used, the project on underground water will be better. That is also a reason why we choose the project on underground water.

2) Ground Water

In order to supply the warrants to prove that water engineering in Songxian zone is feasible, water source reasoning has done those work as follows:

* 1:10000 geological and water survey for 17.5km2.

* Reconnaissance 2 observation wells, and 2 experimental hole.

* Unicontrol the water table once, and unicontrol 18 observations.

* Pump experiment: 2 groups of multi-hole pump, 4 groups of simple pump.

* Test for water quanlity is 6 points.

* 8 sound points on hydrogeology geophysical prospecting section.

* Observation of groud water regimen 3 holes.

* Observe 2 stations of river hydrology (collect).

* Get 10 years' weather information together.

* 2 tests of bleeding.

The underground water source is located on the intermountain valley in the Zuoanbang reservoir which is under the Yi river bridge. The main aquifer of the wellspring is the shallow interstitial aquifer that is buried within 30m under the ground, and it is a wellspring that is interstitial and near the reservoir. Take water near the reservoir is very advantaged for the replenishment of surface water, and it can take the replenishment of reservoir water as much as possible. It can increase the reliability of exploiting the water source.

In addition, we can know from the analyse of the quality of underground water that the chemical classification of underground water in this area is HCO3 -Ca++, and the Ph is 7.1-7.5, omni-hardness is 275.2-380.3mg/L,the normal total mineralization is about 0.40g/L. The content of coliform is more than normal in this area, and it is said that the underground water there has been polluted. This is related to the kind of underground water there. It is shallow water there, and it is easy to be polluted. So, while the water source is building, the health protecting for water should be strengthened.

The site of WTW has been selected after comparing two different places, and finally the first one was chosen to 101 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject be the best one. The selected place is a low-lying area that is north to Jingsan Road in county seat and west to Baiyun Road. There is no building. Compared with the second place that is west to Jingsi Road and south to Baiyun Road, the traffic and drainage is convenient, and there is no polluter. It is easy to set health protecting land. The place is in the middle of the county, and it is near wellspring and some water users that want water much in industrial area. The main piping carrying water there is shortest, and it is easy to manager. The capital investment and operating expense is least there.

3) Demonstrate of Amount of Water

By survey of geological examination, we have primarily found out the stratal configuration in this area, the lithology of aquifer, the water abundance, the permeance property, the limit of water supply and some other conditions. The water source abuts upon Yi river and Luhun reservoir, and it is in the hirst of Yi river. Under the present conditions, the water underground runs to the area of hirst from upper-layer and the first stage of river, and it drains to Yi river and reservoir. Under the conditions of exploiting the water source in the future, the features of flow field of underground water will be changed, and the water in the reservoir will supply the water underground inexhaustibly.

It is designed to set 10 wells at first, and the water yield of a single well will be 5007.35m3 /d, the total produced quantity is 50 thousand tld. Under this condition, the counting water level of well array center well falls to 5.15, and it is within reasonable range of water table. So, the size of 30 thousand tld on this water supply project has enough guarantee.

Other than amount of water that surface will supply enough to underground, in accordance with estimation, the static reserve of underground water is about 6.18750-milion m3 . Under the condition of exploitation, when the flux of Yi river is small or even dry and no water in reservoir, and the water level fall Im in the exploitation area, but we can still exploit 74 days if we use 6.67% of storage capacity. So it can work during low water season, and from all aspects the exploitation on water source has enough guarantee.

4) Wells arrangement

In order to take the maximum recharge capacity of lateral seepage of the water in the reservoir, it plans to set exploit wells in the left hirst near Yi river at the lower reaches of Yi river bridge. The hirst is square-built, and there are no buildings. The thickness and grain of aquifer is thick. It is 2km away from Luhun reservoir, and the reservoir can be the limit of supply of constant head. Exploit near the reservoir can stimulate the water in the reservoir runoff in side direction to supply the water underground, and the degree of guarantee is high. The distance from there to WTW is nearest, so the conduit pipe is shortest. It has planed that the space between every two wells is 400m, and array pitch is 350m. The wells will be staggered arrangement.

The design size of the project is 50 thousand tld, and the average water yield is 5000 m3/d a well. It considered having 2 suspended wells. There are totally 20 wells will be built. The depth will be about 30m, and every well will take land of 300 m 2.A deep-well pump room will be built, too.

5) Rationality Analysis and The Suggestions

From these things, we can know because both of the surface water and underground water are abundant, they can be used as wellsprings. By the researches of research report and consider the location of Songxian seat and the features of underground water, we find out that use underground water as source of water supply can reduce the cost a lot. So, the choose of water source is not only workable, but also the best.

In terms of our EA's first-hand investigation, the manner and project of water harvesting is reasonable. It has sufficiently considered the convenience of water supply and construction, the collocation of gang of wells and 102 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the selection of other equipments. It is basically the best selection on economy and technic, and it has linked with the short-term and long-term developments.

In addition, the quality of water is a big problem, and it is related with the health of broad masses of the people, so we must be careful. The present underground water has been polluted longitudinally, and the total content of coliform is more than normal. So, when the water source is building, we advice that we should strengthen the health protection for water source, line out the guard zone for water source site and do some effective manners to manager all kinds of infectant in the county seat.

(6) Yuanyang

Yuanyang is located on the north of Huanghe river, it's about 10km away from Huanghe river waterway, and is dominated by Xinxiang city. There's no water works by now, works and citizens of the county use water from well (shallow well), which has been polluted by municipal sewage, and drinking water quality is low.

In the feasibility report of the water supply project (primary report), the water works is in the northwest of the county planning area, and plan to sink wells around the water works, which is surrounded by farmland and villages. But at the public testimonial session of expropriation, the local peasants worried it would affect agricultural water, so they made difficulties. Therefore, the county water conservancy entrusted anther argumentation about water source to authorities (the address of water works didn't change), they also had an expert argumentation and accepted some experts' suggestions.

The new water source is chosen at a place which is about 5km to south county and near the levee of Huanghe river, because of the huanghe river's sense finding replenishment, the ground water resource is rich , shallow groundwater level,ground water seep from holes and low-lying place. The ownership of land of this water source belongs to the county water conservancy, so there is no issue of expropriation. There is farmland all round and it is far away from villages, so it has no polluter and ground water quality is high. Because of rich water replenishment, water harvesting won't make ground water lever down seriously and has no affect to the growth of plants. But the disadvantage is that long transmission distance will enlarge the investment of the project.

Obviously, the choice of the project's water source has its characteristic. Its idea and view is very different from other flat area projects'. The reasons why the local officers and experts chose this place as water source are: first, the quantity and quality of water is assured, what's more, it has few affect to surface environment and even no affect to other users; Second, it avoids bothering with local peasants for unknown circs in the future; Third, the water source is far away from the planning area, which is good for environmental protection and accord with the trend of development of environmental protection in the future; Forth it's far away from villages, so it reduces the possibility of artificial damage and is good for equipments' protection; Fifth, it's good for enlarging water supply's scale; Sixth, although the transmission conduit is a bit longer, the investment that increased isn't a big deal, it's deserved to pay it because of the advantages spoken earlier.

In this report's opinion, Yuanyang didn't care for proper amount of increase in investment, the idea of the water source's choice is accord with the aim of long-term development and the fact in China, they have long-term view of development. Compared with other flat area's water supply projects, this project has its characteristic of the water source's choice. Its view and start is quite different. Looked at it from environment protection, the project's choice of water source is scientific and reasonable.

(7) Suixian

An alluvium of Yellow River and the Huaihe River, Suixian lies in Yudong Plain(the plain east of Henan Province) with a flat terrain, a ground altitude height of 53.2-59.0m, thick earth layers(the exploration only 103 Environnment ImpactAssesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject reaches 500m deep) and rich surface and ground water sources which belongs to the Wohe River water system in the drainage area of the Huaihe River and makes Suixian famous as" a water county" in Yudong Plain. An argumentation on surface and ground water 170km2 around the county has been made in "Project Proposal" and "An Argumentation Report on Water Resources", and the water source has been finally decided upon.

1) Surface Water

Near the county, there are three rivers, namely, the Tonghui Dyke, the Huiji River and the Limin River, all of which could not be used as drinking water sources: the Huiji River takes in sewage in its upper reaches from Kaifeng City, Qixian and so on; the Limin River is seriously polluted because of liquid waste from paper mills of Suixian and sewage from the county; and as to the Tonghui Dyke, it is often dries up.

Around the county, there are several lakes with a total area of 6km2. Among the lakes, the major one is the Beida Lake (North Great Lake) with storage of 2,500,000 m3. It has no reliable replenishment and mainly relies on atmospheric precipitation, therefore in dry seasons its storage reduces greatly and the guarantee rate to supply water is rather low. Through monitoring, the fluoride in the lake has reached the standard for Owater type, and the cadmium FO water type, according to Environmental quality standard for surface water (GB3838-2002), so the lake could not satisfy the need for a water source.

Basing on the circumstances mentioned above, the surface water around the county could not act as a source of drinking water.

2) Ground water

Theoretically speaking, since the county lies in a vast plain, everywhere nearby is possible to become the source of ground water, however, due to a huge workload of exploration, we could not choose places at random, but make an initial choice on them. According to "Project Proposal" and "An Argumentation Report on Water Resources", the factors are taken into consideration in choosing places to seek water:

* the development programming and layout of the county

* good hydrologic and geologic conditions;

* no pollution in its neighborhood, in favor of sanitation protecting of water sources;

* possibly close to the water supply factory to save funds.

"'An Argumentation Report on Water Resources" has done argumentation on underground water sources in a southwestern site and a northeastern one, meanwhile carried out work as below: gathering and analyzing the past hydrologic and geologic data; investigating 44 sites of ground water; trying out 3 groups of experiments by pumping water (one about the deep-layer, two about the shallow-layer); 11 groups of brief analysis on ground water samples; 50 investigation sites on lithology in the zones of aeration;3 exploration holes in the shallow-layer.

According to argumentation and estimation: the southwestern site is closer to polluted riverway, so it is more suitable to seek water in the northeastern part of the new city zone of Suixian, to be more specific, the zone of and around Weidikou(Wei bank port), Xudalou(Xu Mansion), Tangmiao(Tang Temple), Chenlou(Chen Building) and Huangchengzhai (Stockaded villiage of Yellow City), which is finally confirmed to be the water source. The shallow-layer water(within 40m) and deep-layer water (300-500m) accordant with pertiment national standards on the water head and quality of drinking water, is advantaged as an urban centralized water supply source; while the middle and middle-deep layer water(40-250m) is a little salty at the rate of 1-2g/L and 2-3g/L, and is not fit for water supply, that's why only the water in shallow-layer (within 40m) and deep-layer

104 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject is decided on as a water source.

3) An argumentation on the water quantity

"An Argumentation Report on Water Resources" has utilized hydrologic and geologic conceptual model (water balance equation) to calculate water quantity balance of the shallow-layer groundwater in areas discussed upon, during which process many factors are taken into consideration, such as precipitation, evaporation, complementary pervasion from irrigation, exploration by other users. Using hydrological parameters in 2002, we could figure out that the overall replenishment3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ of the shallow-layer is up to 22,330,000 m3 with a consumption of 24,310,000 m3, which result is very close to the water level measured in practice. Considering factors like allowing low groundwater level dropping to reduce evaporation, we have worked out that the explorable volume of the shallow-layer groundwater is 10,700 m3/d; Through a calculation of numerical value, the explorable volume of the shallow-layer groundwater is 40,000 m3/d, thereby, the explorable volume of both the shallow-layer and the deep-layer water amounts to 50,700 m3/d, able to satisfy the need of water supply.

4) Wells arrangement

In the areas to be built as water sources, there is centralized water supply system at a paper mill with 12,000 m3/d of ground water exploration (10,000 m3/d from the deep-layer, 2,000 m3/d from the shallow-layer). There are 5 deep wells with a distance of only 13 m in between and 7 shallow wells with 30-100 m in between. The operational practice has showed that the wells are too close to each other, resulting in a large disturbing modulus and the failure in functioning at its normal efficiency, worse still, a water level funnel has formed in the deep and shallow layer circling the paper mill. The shallow-layer is buried more than 8m deep, and the funnel area is up to 6.05km2 large.

Based on the operational data of deep wells (500m) in the nearby Kaifeng Thermal Power Plant, if the distance between wells is 300-514m, the disturbing modulus is about 30%. It is suitable by calculation that the distance between deep wells is more than 800 m, so it is better this way in reality. In order to avoid an obvious drop in the shallow-layer water level and impact on agricultural irrigation from wells and rural drinking water, "An Argumentation Report on Water Resources" suggests the distance between shallow wells be not smaller than lOOOm.

The new water factory needs to build 23 deep wells and 12 shallow wells. The deep wells explores water at the depth of 300-500m, and admits no water within 300m, so vertical cross-flux replenishment from the shallow layer is impossible. In view of this, "An Argumentation Report on Water Resources" suggests a group of deep wells and shallow wells be explored at one site, which could save the land the wells take up and reduce the piping length of them. Besides, the paper mill promised to use tap water after the establishment of the water factory, thus parts of deep and shallow wells of the paper mill could also be considered utilizing reasonably as standby wells.

5) Rationality analysis and problems

According to the circumstances mentioned above, the water quantity and quality of the water source for No.2 water plant in the city zone of Suixian could satisfy the need of long-term steady water supply, which also accords with the social, environmental, economic conditions and assorts with the county construction programming. So the report holds, it is reasonable and feasible to choose this place as the water source of the project.

Based on filed survey of well groups, "An Argumentation Report on Water Resources" has brought up arrangement plans for well groups, which takes into consideration how to avoid the shallow-layer water level to fall, the influence the exploration of groundwater has on other users, as well as the reasonable utilization of 105 I Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject existent well groups. From the perspective of environmental protection, this report believes that the exploration plan is scientific.

However, farmland takes up the dominating majority of the water source area while the village the minor part. The shallow-layer groundwater is very easily to be polluted by pesticides, fertilizers and the village. Therefore, after the project is being done, it is very necessary for the county government to plot out protective water source regions and control well the pollution sources, according to relative national laws and regulations.

(8) Suiping

Suiping, in the south part of Henan province near upper reaches of Ru river, Which is part of hongru river water system of Huai river valley. The west land in the county is high than East, because of a long time inside and outside stress, many different kinds of ground forms appeared in the county. Annual average amount of precipitation is 893.3mm, most precipitation happens in June, July, August and September which account for 60% of annual precipitation. "Water resource argumentation report" and FSR finally seclected the location of water source, according to the research.

1) Surface Water

There are two main rivers in the county, Ru river and Kuiwang river. Both are seasonal rivers. The Annual average Ru river flow is 75.2m 3/s, safe flow is 1800m3/s, low flow period is Sm3/s; The Annual average Kuiwang river water level is 54.13m, safe flow is 900m3/s, dry in the low flow period. These two rivers annual average pass water volume is 249 million m3. But both are polluted heavily, can't be used for drinking without treatment.

In addition, there are seven water reservoirs in the county, but their capacities are relatively small, and all of them are in the west, so far away from the county center. So, they can't be used as water supply resource.

2) Ground Water

The main supply of shallow-layer groundwater is precipitation infiltration, next are irrigation infiltration, riverside infiltration and radial flow supply. Different physiognomy has different precipitation infiltration capacity. Account for the report of Suiping regional hydrogeology research , hump and plain area annual average precipitation infiltration capacity is about 153.18 million m3/a. Different irrigation infiltration capacities in different years, 2.2 million m3/a in normal year, 4.43 million m3/a in dry year. The supply of riverside infiltration normally only happened in flood period and the capacity is small. Radial flow supply capacity is also small, but in the exploitation condition, when groundwater flow length changes, the supply capacity will increase. Groundwater radial flow flows slowly from western low hill area to east. The Drainage ways of shallow-layer groundwater contain evaporation, man-made recovery, river flow, radial flow and over flow. The over flow drain is achieved by aquitard and mixed exploitation and drainage is sent to deep-layer groundwater. Recently, the city zone shallow-layer groundwater quality becomes worse, especially near the industry wastewater drainage: Water quality types become complicated; the content of different kinds of ions is increasing. Account for GB5749-85 drinking water quality standard which is issued by China government on 1986, the water quality evaluation is: High hardness, high manganese and nitrate content. Its main pollution sources are industry wastewater and living wastewater. So, shallow-layer groundwater can't be used as water supply source for this project.

"Water resource argumentation report" have demonstrated water source. 103 geologic and physiognomy investigation sites have been located, the investigation route length is 53.3km; 20 Luoyang holes have been constructed, total length is 106.3m; 60 production wells in main towns have been researched; the exploitation capacity of 60 villages has also been researched; in 2000, a long time groundwater observation related to 16 106 l Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject shallow wells and 8 deep wells, the frequency is every five days. at last, do the groundwater quality assay and soil sample analysis. Two times sampling, 13 samples from shallow wells and 14 samples from deep wells, the total is 27.

But for the groundwater drop depth caused by exploitation, the longest drop depth is no more than 15m, so, using this water area, the water source has safeguard, but small fillers will appear in this water area.

After research and analyse, the source place is finally confirmed where 2km near the west of county. Using Lianhuan lake which is part of deep-layer groundwater rich water area as water source area, where is in the north of Suicha road, the west side of Wulou villager group, Liuzhuang village, chezhan town.

Advantages:

* Abundant in groundwater reserves, good water quality, far away from pollution sources.

* Suijing road has main Water delivery pipe lines, convenient for construction and management.

3) Amount of Water Argumentation

Based on Henan Province Miyang County 1/20 ten thousand area hydrogeology research report, investigation area and plain area around are 629.1 km 2, annual average precipitation infiltration amount is 270 thousand m3 /d, evaporation amount is 191.2 thousand m3/d. if the evaporation amount can be lowered about 34%, that deep-layer groundwater radial flow supply of account area can fit the demand of assuming water area. Shallow-layer groundwater static reserve is 944 million m3. Produced quantities of assuming water area in half an year only account for 1.56% of this static reserve, which is to say, if produced quantities of assuming water area in half an year are all from shallow-layer groundwater static reserve, that the static reserve level of shallow-layer groundwater will only drop 0.47m. This shows that static reserve is so abundant and has better long period adjusting and storing capacity.

So, it has abundant deep-layer groundwater supply, hydrogeology part has long period adjusting and storing capacity, has sufficient supply. That means that planned water source place allows 30 thousand m3 /d-produced quantities, which has sufficient supply.

4) Wells arrangement

Using pump experimentation and experience formula to calculate impact radius that we confirm the impact distance between wells is about 600m. Most distances of 9 water supply wells of waterworks are not size up, high interference of water quantity, harmful infection to wells' normally working. In the county, more than 50 departments have 57 wells provide for themselves, the water quality can not be ensured.

New water source place wells disposal principles:

* Good hydrogeology condition.

* Total produced quantity of new water source place is less than permitted exploitation.

* Small Interference coefficient of wells, each well can have best efficiency.

* Water supply wells exploitation doesn't cause obvious groundwater level decreasing, will not affect agriculture wells supplying water.

* It is not far between water source place and water factory and it will save the distance of water delivery pipeline and lands.

New water supply land need construct 18 wells (2 for standby), the original water factory has 6 water wells, 3 of 107

I Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject them can still be used, 1 well had been discarded as useless, the other 2 wells are used as observation wells. So, we need construct 15 wells more, each depth is about lOOm; wells distance is 600m, and average water amount is 2000m3/d.

5) Rationality Investigation and Problems

From the above, the water quantity and quality from new water source place of Suiping water supply extension project can satisfy a long period water desire, and the project fit the county actual social, environmental and economic conditions, further more, it fit the county construction design. The report thinks that the choice of this water source place is available and reasonable.

"Water Resource Argumentation Report" has provided wells disposal project based on field survey. The project considered avoiding shallow-layer groundwater level decreasing; considered the infection that groundwater exploitation acts on other consumers; considered the reasonable using of already existed wells. From environment protection, this report thinks that exploitation project is reasonable.

A large number of crops are distributed in the planned water source place and original water factory area, as well as some vegetable gardens and hursts. But these will not cause bad infection to middle deep-layer groundwater. Shallow-layer groundwater is easily polluted by pesticide, chemical fertilizer and villages. After construction finished, the county government will carve up water source protected area according to related laws and control pollution sources. This can also ensure better water quality in middle deep-layer groundwater.

Total produced quantity of groundwater is less than permitted exploitation can make groundwater level keeps new homeostasis, and exploitation of groundwater in water source place will not affect regional groundwater source. Long time concentrated exploitation can not only improve groundwater circulation but also improve groundwater quality.

(9) Runan

Runan is in the eastsouth of Henan province. The land is flat and belonged to Hongru River Campagna which is a little bit skew. The county is 40-70m high above sea level.In this area. The rainfall average is 853.85mm a year.Ru River is the main river which run through the county. SuYa Reservoir is about 2.5km far from west Runan. Around the county seat that is alluvial plain, there are rich in groundwater. However, shallow-layer groundwater is polluted by surface water. "Water Resources Argumentation Report" has surveyed several water source, and chosen the best water source.

1) Surface Water

There are a lot of waterways in and around the county seat. The amount of precipitation is abundant. Both of them have created fine conditions for surface water source.

Ru River which is the first level of prongs of Huai river system is the main river which run through the county. Within the confines of this county, it is 62km long and its drainage area is1308km 2. The river runoff average is 44.9m3 /d a year. The river runoff average is 1.417 billion m3 /d multi-year. The max is 4.671 billion m3,and the minimum is 0.127 billion m3 .

SuYa Reservoir is the biggest artificial campaign reservoir in our county. It is 4km away from county seat. The design water level is 57.75m, and the relevant cubage is 1.272 billion mi3 . The collation water level is 58.87m,and the relevant cubage is 1.656 billion m3. The beneficial use water level is 52.5m, and the relevant cubage is 0.205 billion m3 .

Beacaus surface water has accepted a lot of urban sewage from upper reaches, water quality has deteriorate

108 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject sharply. Althouth there is so much water , beacause of water quality, it can not be the wellspring of water for life in county seat.

2) Ground Water

In accordance with research reports and water sources reasoning report, the average recharge capacity of shallow-layer groundwater can generally cover the consumption around Runan seat. Under the condition of exploitation, consumption can be translated to produced quantity, and the allowable produced quantity is 12.7083 million m3 /a. The omni-hardness of shallow-layer groundwater is 1058mg/L around the county seat. The composite pollution index is 16.6-32.6, and the main pollution genes are omni-hardness, resolable ommi-solid, chlorid, nitrate nitrogen and so on.

Within the area, shallow-layer groundwater is located on the lay that the purpose of exploite for argricultural water, so if we mine it ,it will lead that we will contend water with agriculture, and the water quality is not very good. Part of the water has been pollutated, so it can not be the source of mundicipal water supply,

In accordance with Henan province Runan 50 thousand ton/day water source place argumentation Report, around the area of Dayang Village, Liulou Village, Gao Village, the first senior school of the county in west Runan, there are rich in underground water. The whole exploitation of the middle and deep levels can reach 50.1 thousand m3 /d, and the water quality will meet the requirements of (GB5749-85). There is a farinaceous clay aquiclude which is 30-50m thick between the shallow layer and the middle and deep layer of water, so the water will not be polluted and is suitable to be the source of water supply.

3) Demonstrate of Amount of Water

After the water source is put into production, it will form a water coning, and it will unite with the one the county has had. When the water exploitation is relative stability, the recharge capacity and the wastage in this area of the water coning will reach a homeostasis. The recharge capacity contains periphery radial flow recharge capacity and the overflow recharge capacity of shallow-layer groundwater. Consumption is the amount of the produced quantity of the middle and deep-layer groundwater (The present produced quantity is 9685.4m3 /d, and the increased produced quantity is 40500m3/d, so the total is 50185.4m3 /d).

By computation of analysis method, 20 years after the water source is exploited, the water level of the biggest well NO.S12 will fall to 29.38m, and the highest variable water level will bury depth of 49.38m. The variable water level is reasonable, and it will ensure the water supply while the water source is running. The omni-produced quantity is reasonable, too.

4) Collocation of Gang of Wells

The present wellspring wells of water works are distributed in county zone, and they are located on the middle of underground water coning. There is not any establishment for disinfections. It has in face of the edge of aging and reject, so the feasibility study does not want to use them any more.

Wellspring wells are disposed in accordance with Henan province Runan 50 thousand ton/day water source place argumentation Report, and they will be disposed in quincunx. They will be adjusted on basic of the orographic condition and the distribution of villages.

Basic on the datum of pumping test, the radius of influnence of wellspring wells is 500-800m. The distance between every two wells is 800-1000m.

The supporting plate which is contained in the aquifer of middle and deep-layer is about 250m. The structure of the aquifer is fine. The best depth of a well is 250m.

109 l Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject The water inflow of a single well of wellspring wells is 1500 m3/d. It needs 22 small holes every wellspring well, and two of them are spare. The design radius of the water source well is 300, and the bore pipe is made of cast iron.

The main conduit pipe will be laid along the Kaigong Road, and the highest variable water level is 49.38m. The lift of pump is 60m.

5) Rationality Analysis and The Problems

From those things, the amount of water and water quality from the water source of water engineering in Runan zone can supply a long-term water supply. The idea of protection of wellspring is very good, and it accords with the present conditions of politics, environment and economy of the county. What is more, it also assorts with the county's construction program. This report considers that the selection of wellspring for this water supply program is feasible and reasonable.

"Water Resources Argumentation Report" brings forward a project on collocation of gang of wells on the basic of the other gangs of wells that has been running. The project has considered the problems of preventing the water table to drop too much, and the coning to enlarge. It has considered the influences to the other users when the underground water is exploited. It also has demonstrated whether the present gangs of wells can be used any more. From the angle of environment, this report thinks that the project is reasonable.

If the produced quantity of underground water is less than the produced quantity that is allowable, the water table will keep a new homeostasis, and the exploitation of underground water in water source will not bring some serious infections to the local ground water sources. As long as we take some normative and reasonable control measures, the water source that is chosen by this project will not have any problems. 5.4.2 Scheme analysis on water source of other sub-projects

The water supply project of this engineering will refer to 12 cities and 37 countries in Henan province. In these 32 water supply sub-projects that contain wellspring engineering, 25 of them make underground water as their headstreams for water harvesting (16 of them make deep-layer groundwater as the head, and 5 of them make shallow-layer groundwater, 4 make mixture of shallow and mid-deep aquifer), and 7 of them make surface water as. (2 of them take water from waterways directly, and 5 of them take it from reservoir). Besides, the water supply project of Xinxiang's new zone will buy tap water from Xinxiang city, and the projects of Yangshan new county zone in Xingyang city, Yima and Luoshan will use the tap water from the present WTW.

Except the above 9 examples, water source selection information see in Table 5-1.

114 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 5.5 Analysis of Site Selection and Layout 5.5.1 Sewage treatment plant selected location rational analysis

Among "the feasibility study reports" of various sewage treatment sub-project, all has carried on the elaboration to the sewage treatment plant factory site choice question selecting the different selected location plan, Conducting the investigation and study. The abundant demonstration is undergoing on the principle of economy and technical feasibility, considering conforming to the nature from the city overall plan, the condition of factory building-up, construction and investment, the society affects, ecological environment influence and so on various aspects.

Each sub-project is mainly on the base of the following principles to carry on the factory site selection:

* Conform to the city overall plan and the city dewatering excavation overall plan;

* Adapted to the sewage treatment craft;

* Located on the downriver of the city central tap water source area, the towns, the factory district and the living-quarters downriver;

* Located on the summer leeward direction (winning side of the summer minimum frequency wind direction);

* Good engineering geology condition;

* Few relocations, little occupying the farmland, keep the certain health protection distance;

* Take the advantages for the sewage, sludge discharging and using;

* Good traffic, good transportation and good water and electricity condition;

* Good flood prevention draining water condition;

* Good to the forward development, possible for the extension;

We take sewage treatment project of Mengtsing county for example, according to the above selected location principle, and urban district's draining water factor and pipe network present situation, it proposed two selected locations plans after discussing with the Project, Land and Environment Department: Plan 1: located on the northwest of county, at southwest corner of Huanchengnan Road and Jingao road intersection, approximately 400 meters far away from southeast of Xilongao village. Plan 2: In the overall plan, located at the southwest corner of the county, south side of Huanchengxi Road and Huanchengnan intersection, non- plan area. Through the project feasibility study and the economical technical election: conforming to site selection principle, Plan One has the shorter sewage conduit, less district-excavating and earth-filling, convenient transportation, convenient water using, electricity using and water draining, lower project investment. Therefore, Plan One is selected to be the sewage treatment plant factory site.

Another example is sewage treatment project of Huangchuan, according to the city terrain and the overall plan, considering factory building-up condition, the investment, condition, ecological environment and near and forward construction, it designated two plans:

Plan 1: Plan and determine the factory site, that is on the northeast of the county, at the northwest edge of Small Huanghe River, 250m far from east of Xianfeng village, 1000m vertical range from Ningxi railroad.

Plan 2: Located on the northeastern county, at west bank of small Huanghe River, 200m far from east Jiudong

115 EnvironrnentImpact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject village, 230m vertical ranges from Ningxi railroad. Through the project feasibility study, considering the position, the factory district topography and the draining water condition, factory pipeline, transportation, the environmental effect and investment, Plan One has the nearer way to natrium water, shorter pipe installation, farther way from the sensitive goal like Xianfeng village, less environmental effect, few relocation, few investment. sewage conduit, less district-excavating and earth-filling, convenient transportation, convenient water using, electricity using and water draining, lower project investment and so on advantages. Therefore, Plan One is selected to be the sewage treatment plant factory site. 5.5.2 Factory District Arrangement Rationality Analysis

Each sewage treatment sub-project feasibility study report has carried on the full proof to the factory district arrangement. The report on project environmental effect further put forward the improvement proposal on the angle of slowing down the environmental effect. The main consideration aspect includes:

* The arrangement of sewage treatment plant should abide the principle of technical process reasonability, pay attention to technical process's smoothness, compact and the reasonable district. Do good to both the production and easy management;

* Carry on the reasonable layout, according to the terrain, the landform, path and so on natural conditions, considering the turnover water direction, wind direction, outward appearance and other factors;

* Satisfy the request of landscape beautification;

* Considering the selected location position, correctly processes factory inside and outside transportation, to guarantee a smooth and convenient transportation;

* The access establishment fully unifies with the urban road;

* Factory district strengthens the boundary health protection and the pollution preventing function. Plant broad-leaf tree and the bush in noisy and fetid odor places, plant big tree on two sides of factory district path, establish flower-beds around the buildings, lay down sod and etc. 5.6 Analysis of Sub-Project Processes 5.6.1 Water Supply Project

The watercraft choice is mainly decided by the original water quality. Domestic watercraft experience and technology has been mature for many years. All intelligent and experienced design departments have no big problems in this aspect. Generally speaking, surface water quality is easily influenced by the outside surroundings. Its water craft is more complex; While ground water quality is rather stable and better. Its water craft are simpler. Among 36 water supplies, "the feasibility study report" of each project is on the base of the water source and its quality, to carry on the optimized choice of the water craft plan, considering the purification craft maturation, the security, the purification effect, the operation management, investment and other factors. Therefore, the watercraft choice was reasonable.

Among the 9 visited sub-projects, Yiyang take the surface water as the water source place, other 8 are the plain ground water. Among the 8 projects taking the plain ground water as water source, each adopts the similar watercraft. Because of the stable and better water source quality, all used simply craft of "the precipitation -> disinfections -> water supply". The water supply quality has completely satisfied the national stipulation on life water quality standard. Following we take Yiyang as the example, whose water source quality are unstable, to analyze the rationality of its watercraft choice.

"The feasibility study report" of the water supply project of Yiyang is on the base of the characteristic of 116 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject shop-entering water quality, referring to the experience of the similar factories, it drew up the following two technically feasible water craft plans, and carried on the optimized comparison:

Plan 1: tubular static mixer + grid responded the pond + advection sedimentation pond + rainbow attracts the filter tank + disinfection

Plan 2: tubular static mixer + machinery response pond + slope tube sedimentation pond + double valve filter tank + disinfection

The Characteristic of Plan 1:

The grid response pond is a new highly effective flocculation facility, which has been widely applied in the last few years. It effectively use energy, has short reaction time, loses little water head, consumes few medicine, better flocculates, occupies small land, has less investment. Simultaneously it has a good adaptation to the original water temperature and quality. Construction and management are convenient.

The advection sedimentation pond is the traditional construction of water treatment precipitation craft. Its characteristic is good waterpower condition, strong adaptation to original water current, water volume, water quality change. Precipitation effect is good, the structure simple, and management easy.

The rainbow filter tank is to use siphon while water entering and discharging. It has no need to fix valve, easy operation and stable movement. water leakage quality is good, and its compatibility strong. Using water leakage of the filter tank itself, it can do the effective counter- flushing without other special flushing equipments. Mature experience has been applied home.

The Characteristic of Plan 2:

The machinery flocculating pool has effectual machinery reacts and good stability, can meet the change of water quantity. As the water yield reduces, flocculate more perfect. Mud sediment at the bottom of the pool seldom happens. It can be suitable for various kinds of water yield and different original water quality. Its shortcoming is to need machining process and frequent maintenance, the fabrication cost relatively high, and the result influenced while the equipment breaks down.

The slope tube sedimentation pond is more widespread in our country. Its merit is efficient perceptibility, less area occupation, lower construction cost, good waterpower. Comparing with the advection sedimentation pond, It has shortcomings like the precipitation unstable, structure complex, maintenance cost high, worse adaptation to the water quality change, the filter tank loaded often because of high leakage turbidity.

The twin-valve filter tank is foundation improved on the base of the ordinary quick filter tank, using the vacuum system control rainbow and counter-flush discharging pipe, voluntarily switch over. The characteristic is simple structure, reliable operation, good leakage quality, lower construction cost, effective counter- flushing. While its shortcoming is big counter- flushing volume and big electricity consumption.

Optimizing and comparing synthetically the above two schemes in "The feasibility study report", we believe that scheme one is superior to the scheme two. Therefore, we finally determine to recommend scheme one as the water purification craft of this project. According to the above course and two schemes, the choice of the craft scheme is rational. 5.6.2 Sewage Treatment Project

The confirm of sewage treatment technics is mainly according to pass in and out water qualities and sewage treatment methods.

117 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Pass in and out water qualities

Based on recent county sewage quality measure data and related index from water supply and sewerage design handbook, compared with exist factories' water quality, each sub-project has ensured suitable pass in water quality. According to the project character, performing corresponding discharge standard and ensuring the out water quality and sewage processing rate. For example, Mengjin waste water treatment project. A detailed research on pollution sources has been done and sewage is sampled to be monitored; according to the outdoor drainage design criterion, industrial wastewater drainage limited concentration was ensured; considered Henan Province 5 wastewater treatment factories actual pass in water quality index; considered Mengjin vehicle industry development characters. After integrated compare, it ensured wastewater factory pass in water quality standard; the drainage is finally discharged to Chan river, which is III water area, so wastewater discharged sewage quality should fit First B standard according to Dischargeof sewage Standard of city and town wastewaterfactory (GB 18918-2002). Baofeng waste water treatment project, according to the sample monitoring result from county environment monitor department on 2003, rain and pollution diffluence in the county and Pindingshan city wastewater treatment factory pass in water quality monitor result and others like it, the pass in water quality of this project is finally ensured. The project adopts Jingchang river, which is IV water area, so waste water discharged sewage quality should fit Second Standard according to Discharge of sewage Standard of city and town wastewaterfactory (GB 18918-2002). But out water through Jingchang river will be drained to Beiru river after 19 km. Beiru river is the water source of Xuchang city, which is III water area. Considered treatment technics and pass in water quality, the out water quality need to fit First B standard. Meanwhile, according to Henan Province Huai river area environmental protection "fifteen " plan 2004, 2005 operation idea, wastewater factory will strengthen Phosphor and Nitrogen clearance. So, the out water standard was finally confirmed (see table 5-2). Huangchuan waste water treatment project. According to the county living wastewater and industrial wastewater monitoring result from county environment monitor department on 2003-2004, its environmental infection report ensured pass in water quality by investigation and prediction. And according to 7 same type city wastewater treatment factory, the quality had been checked again. The county wastewater treatment factory adopts water from Xiaohuang River, which is main branch of Huai River and IV water area. So wastewater discharged sewage quality should fit Second Standard according to Discharge of sewage Standard of city and town wastewater factory (GB 18918-2002). After further examination, Xinyang city environmental protection agency thinks that its pass in and out water quality and drainage standard fit the Huangchuan practical situation. Table 5-2 shows pass in and out water qualities and processing rate of each sub-project

Sewage Treatment Technics

The methods of city sewage treatment contain biological treatment, chemical treatment and physical chemistry. Compared with chemical treatment and physical chemistry, biological treatment has some advantages such as high operation efficiency, low cost, better effect, stable operation and abundant operation experience. Now biological treatment is the most usually used, efficient and economical method. Whether using biochemical treatment to treat city sewage lie on sewage character. Each sub-project pass in water quality can be easily biochemical treated, so, it's better to use biological treatment.

In biological treatments, activated sludge process is widely adopted because of its stable operation effect and abundant operation experience. It has different methods: common activated sludge process, A/O, A2/O, SBR, biological activated carbon, Orbal oxidation channel, carlusier oxidation channel and so on.

Each sub-project considered county practical situation, factory pass in and out water qualities, operation and management, then Orbal oxidation channel and A/O/0 are chosen as treatment technics. 119 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject A/O/O is a typical Phosphor and Nitrogen clearance technic. In the anaerobic, anoxic and aerobiotic conditions, it can control bacteria reproducing, conquer sludge expanding. The anaerobic, anoxic and aerobiotic areas are strictly departed, so it benefits different kinds of microbes reproducing, and has good Phosphor and Nitrogen clearance effect. Now, this method is widely used in both here and abroad.

Orbal oxidation channel is an important form in different oxidation channels. It has better

Operation effect, and it also has technical and economical superiority in middle-small cities wastewater treatment.

Choosing project according to these principles as follows:

* Mature technique, good out water quality, can reach standard stably;

* Low project construction and operation cost, less land;

* Convenient operation management, can bear impact load;

* Fit local character and technical economical conditions;

* Easy to achieve autocontrol, reduce intensity of work, save manual work cost;

* Focus on fetching in advanced wastewater treatment and new technic, new material and new technique of activated sludge process

After technical and economical argumentation, 5 sub-projects chose Orbal oxidation channel. Songxian chose A/O/O, results are:

* Both are available technically, their out water qualities can reach discharge standard;

* Oxidation channel has high degree of automation, stable operation, simple management and abundant operation experience;

* Oxidation channel has simple operation flow, simple structure, high utilization factor and sewage deposition capability;

* Oxidation channel has better bearing impacts ability than A/O;

* Oxidation channel depth increases, need less land; less pipeline equipments needed, relatively less failure rate, less cost on check, repairing and maintenance;

* Because in Oxidation channel, sludge can exist in a long period and is only a small amount, sludge assimilation system is not essential;

* High Phosphor and Nitrogen clearance efficiency.

After integrated compare, oxidation channel has superiority in operation management and total investment, and it operates easily. Most sub-projects are planned to use this method.

Table 5-3 shows each sub-project technics choosing and treatment deepness.

121 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 6. Environmental Impact Analysis

6.1 Impact Identification The environmental impact includes two stages: construction stage and operating stage. The impact factors include pollution factor and ecology factor, and natural environment, ecological environment, and social environment are all involved in the impact analysis.

The environmental impact during the construction stage mainly comes from excavation, earth moving, occupation of land, building construction, the vehicle transportation, equipment installment, etc. The impacts include: construction wastewater, waste gas, wind-borne dust, noise pollution; impact on ecological environment; the question of water and soil losses; impact on city traffic; impact on cultural relics and historic sites; impact on cityscape and street hygiene; impact on residents' life; impact on the health of the crowd, etc.

The water transmit, water distribution pipe line in the water supply project, and the sewage collection pipe line in the sewage treatment project are linear, so the working line is relatively long. Especially the water distribution and sewage collection pipe lines, which are located in the urban area, affects relatively more sensitive targets and the construction exerts impact on a certain area along the line. The layout of other projects, such as the construction of the water factory building, is relatively centralized, and they are located in the suburban area. So the construction impact is centralized and the impact range is relatively small, with relatively less sensitive targets.

Besides, the impact varies with the features of local environment. In the suburban area, the focus is the impact of farmland occupation on the agricultural production and farmers' life; in the urban area, the focus is the impact of construction on city traffic, residents' life, landscape, street hygiene, etc.

The environment benefits during the project operation include: improvement of local residents' life quality, promotion of urban construction, and improvement of water environment by the sewage treatment. Meanwhile, environment problems during the project operation include: the question of the water quality in the project water source; water volume in the water source; impact of project use of water on the water resource; the impact of the project waste gas, wastewater and silt; the increase of sewage caused by the water supply project; impact of discharged water on the receiving water body; accidents (such as pollution of water source, chlorine in the water purification plant), etc. 6.2 Environmental Impact Factors 6.2.1 Environmental impact factors during construction

1) Impact of wastewater and litters.

2) Impact of exhaust gas and fugitive dust

3) Impact of construction noise

4) Impact of construction waste soil

5) Impact of construction on ecological environment, including agricultural ecological environment, urban ecological environment and questions of water and soil losses. In the suburban areas, the focus is impact on agricultural ecological environment (including disturbance of land, occupation of farmland, moving of trees, etc.). In the urban areas, the focus is impact on urban green belt. In the upland, the focus is the questions of water and soil losses.

122 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 6) Impact of construction on city traffic. The suburban areas are the focus. Attention should be paid to the protection of underground historic relics.

7) Impact of construction on cityscape.

8) Impact of construction on city traffic. In the suburban areas, the focus is whether there is disturbance and blockade of traffic. In the urban areas, the focus is the impact on the traffic volume.

9) Impact of construction on residents' life. In the suburban area, the focus is the impact of the relocation and impact on the nearby residents, including the impact of fugitive dust, noise and vehicle transportation; impact of the construction on the drinking water source and farmland irrigation facilities. In the rural area, the focus is the impact of fugitive dust, noise and transportation on the residents living near the construction sites. Because there are relatively more sensitive targets in the cities, special attention should be paid to the urban areas.

10) Impact of construction on the health of the crowd. The construction staff is the main target of the impact.

11) Impact of construction on the local economy.

The negative environmental impact during the construction period is temporary and short, and can be reduced or avoided by protection measures. (Refer Chapter Nine for protection measures.) 6.2.2 Environmental impact factors during operating

1) The question of the water quality in the project water source. It is about the possibility of water pollution to the water quality in the water source and the ability to satisfy the water supply. The earth surface water is more vulnerable to pollution than the underground water.

2) Water volume in the water source. It is about whether the water volume can satisfy long-term demand of water supply. Refer chapter five for the environment rationality analysis on this part.

3) Impact of project use of water on the water resource. The project area is located in a place short of water resource, and in some places, there appears underground water loopholes due to over-exploitation of underground water. The project assessment should consider whether the implementation of the project would result in drop or further drop of underground water level.

4) Impact of water supply on the use of water by the residents living nearby the water source. It is about whether water intake of the project would affect the farmland irrigation and daily water use of the people nearby.

5) Pollutants caused by the water supply project. The pollutants mainly include a small amount of daily wastewater discharged by the operating staff, waste gas of the boiler for daily life, noise of the machines, and a small amount of silt discharged in the production, etc

6) Impact of pollutants in the sewage treatment project. It includes the impact of discharge water and silt treatment transportation, etc. In addition, there is also the impact of mechanical noise, wastewater and waste gas of the operating staff.

7) Questions of sewage discharge caused by the water supply. After the water supply project is completed, the increase of water use by the residents will lead to sewage discharge problems; the relationship between local sewage increase and local society, economy and environment planning.

8) Impact of permanent occupation of land on the use of land.

123 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 9) Impact of environmental risks. It includes the impact of chlorine accident in the water supply project and water pollution in the water source.

Among the environmental impact during the operating stage, the discharge of pollutant in the project and environmental risks can be reduced or avoided by installing pollutant treatment equipment and taking protection measures. The discharge water in the sewage treatment project exerts a positive impact on the improvement of local water environment. As for the problems such as the water quality in the water source, the impact of water supply on water environment and ecological environment, sewage discharge caused by water supply, the projects should adopt protection measures. In addition, local governments should also provide favorite policies to tackle those problems. Refer Chapter Nine for the measures to be taken to counter the impact during the operating stage. 6.3 Table of Environmental Impact Factors

According to the above analysis, the relationship between impact factors and impacted factors during the construction period and operating period are listed respectively in Table 6-1 and 6-2. Considering the impact of each project in every period on the environment, the following appraisal factors are decided: the quality of supply water, ground water, atmospheric environment, acoustic environment, ecological environment, soil erosion, agricultural production, land resource, the residents' life, countryside water source, soil environment, solid waste, city landscape, urban and rural transportation, cultural relic and historical site, the health of the crowd, utilization of water resources. 6.4 Environmental Protection Targets

(1) Water environment

Water supply project: it is about the protection of the water quality of supply water (including earth surface water source and underground water source) and receiving water body of the project sewage.

Sewage treatment project: it is about the protection of the water quality in the receiving water body.

According to the environment assessment report, refer Table 6-3 and Table 6-4 for the protection targets of water environment in each water supply sub-project and sewage treatment sub-project. For the sewage discharge standard, each water supply sub-project adopts standards that permit discharge of sewage into rivers without treatment through sewage pipe network. According to the plan of the Henan Province, each county should set up a wastewater treatment plant for integrated treatment of sewage before 2007. Thus, the report includes supplement standards, i.e., discharge standards executed when the project sewage is treated in the county wastewater treatment plant. And five sub-projects only have pipe network projects, which do not concern water environment problems in the water source and sewage receiving water body during the operating stage. (2) Quality of the Ambient Air and acoustic environment

The water intake, transmit and purification in the water supply sub-project, and the wastewater treatment plant are all located in the marginal area of the county. And currently those areas are in the countryside, and sensitive targets, chiefly nearby villages, are relatively few. The water distribution pipe network in the water supply sub-project and sewage collection pipe network are buried under the streets of the county seats, so there are relatively more sensitive targets along the line, mainly including: the residential block, schools, government institutes, enterprises, etc. According to the sub environment assessment table, refer Table 6-5 to Table 6-7 for the protection targets of each sub-project.

(3) Ecological environment 124 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject The protection targets mainly include the agricultural ecological environment, including growth of crop, soil, separate trees and the urban green land on both sides of the city street. Besides, in the upland, the focus is the prevention of water and soil losses.

(4) Social environment

The protection of the social environment includes the water resource, the land resource, the cultural relics and historic sites, the traffic in urban and rural areas, residents' life and health of the crowd. Refer Table 6-8 for the details. 6.5 Highlights of Assessment

According to the characteristics of the project and the natural and social environment, the highlights of assessment include:

1) Ecological environment of the project location;

2) The quality and volume of supply water;

3) The immigration, resident's life, the health of the crowd, urban and rural traffic;

4) Agricultural production, land resource;

5) Soil erosion;

6) Social development.

137 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 7. Environmental Impact Assessment during Construction

7.1 Impacts on Natural Environment 7.1.1 Impacts on aquatic environment (or pollution to the soil)

The process wastewater, domestic wastewater and wastewater produced by washing vehicles, municipal solid waste and construction waste procduced during the construction will affect the water environment if they are not treated. Instead of flowing into rivers directly, most wastewater infiltrates into the soil and lead to soil contamination; the water quality of underground water of shallow water level also faces possible threats at some locations.

Possible construction aspects that will lead to pollution of water quality include:

* During summer construction time, the earth material, sand/gravel, rubbish, concrete powder, may be washed out by the rain, and enter river channels and reservoirs;

* In the concrete work, wastewater and waste residue from projects such as concrete mixing, concrete curing, etc. will flow to river channels and reservoirs, or infiltrate into the soil with the rain, leading to pollution.

* Without proper treatment, the leaking oil from oil tanks, construction machines and vehicles, and the washing waste water will infiltrate into the soil and lead to partial pollution of underground water, and a little will enter river channels and reservoirs, increasing the density of petroleum pollutant.

* Without proper treatment, the domestic wastewater and municipal solid waste prodcued at canteen of construction workers will infiltrate into the soil and lead to partial pollution of underground water, and a little will enter river channels and reservoirs, increasing the density of organic pollutant.

Refer Table 7-1 for major wastewater pollutants and their impact range.

The concrete casting volume and number of vehicles in each sub-project are low, so compared with other projects of the same kind, the quantity of wastewater and rubbish during the construction period are relatively low. Because most of the construction activities are out side of the county urban area, the wastewater of the construction will affect the water quality of surface water and underground, soil environment to some extent. Particularly, in the projects taking shallow-layer groundwater as water source, wastewater of the construction and solid waste, etc. may affect future water supply and health of the people.

Table 7-1 Various wastewater of construction and discharge of rubbish Type of wastewater Main pollutant Discharge location 1.sand/gravel material pH value and Suspended washing wastewater Solid 2.concrete curing pH value and Suspended wastewater Solid mainly nearby the water transmit pipes, and the water 3.wastewater with oil Suspended Solid and purification factory, all located at countryside areas out side petroleum pollutant of the county urban area

4.domestic wastewater BOD5 5.municipal solid waste The 9 inspected sub-projects are taken as analyzing examples. Among the nine projects, except that the water supply project of Yi Yang and Songxian County locates near river and reservoir, the other projects are all away 138 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject from surface rivers and reservoirs. Since the water works of Songxian County locates on the bank of the Yi River and nearby the Luhun reservoir. Therefore, the construction waste water of the project will potentially affect the water quality of Yi River and Luhun reservoir. The water works of the other projects do not locate near surface water, so their construction waste water will mainly pollute the soil and affect the shallow-layer groundwater by penetrating the soil. At present the villagers near the project generally take shallow-layer groundwater from their wells for drinking and irrigation. Therefore, if the construction waste water pollutes the nearby shallow-layer groundwater, the drinking water health will be affected.

Among 5 water supply projects. which take water fiom reser-voirs, only project of Lushan Cotnty needs colnstruct in the reservoir (For other 4 pro)jects, conitruction will be at the downstream of the damns). Thus, waste water during thc constlrLuction ol Lushan Project may hring the potiential impact to the water qulity ol rcscrvoir.

The wastewater pollution during the construction period can be reduced or avoided by taking relevant measures. For example, as far the concrete mixing facilities is concerned, we can wipe off the suspended substance by setting a catchment and sedimentation tank; by building car washing facility for washing vehicle and oil trap sedimentation tank, we can collect and treat with the waste water and discharge it at the required level; as for the waste water produced by the overhauling of machines and vehicles, we should set a waste water collecting pit to deposit it. After deposition, the oil and water can be separated by water-oil separator and discharged at the required level It is strictly forbidden to pour or discharge domestic sewage everywhere. In the construction site, it must set a domestic sewage collecting pit to deal with the sewage collectively. Dry pail latrines must be built and the dejections can be taken away by the nearby farmers and used as farmland fertilizer. Household and construction garbage disposal must be brought into the collective control of the county environment and health system and these garbage must be collected, carried away and buried in a stipulated landfill; during the summer construction time, temporarily piled soil and rocks must be covered and blocked to prevent them from being flushed away into the watercourse by the rain; we should enhance the administration of the construction group, tight various bylaw, educate builders to pay attention to environment protection, improve environment protection awareness, and forbid dumping waste water and garbage into the river. 7.1.2 Impacts on air quality

The potential pollution of the ambient air caused by construction comes from the following aspects: the floating dust produced during the digging and transport of soil (including loading and unloading); exhaust gas discharged by engines and vehicles; floating ashes produced by the loading and unloading of cement, and mixing process; the dust, which are sprinkled on the construction site and road, are raised up by the wind; the dust sprinkled on the road can be raised up by the passing vehicles and cause pollutions. And the pollutants mainly include suspended particulate substance, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide.

The exhaust gas discharged by mechanic vehicles will increase suspended particulate substance, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide in the air. The amounts of works of the 42 sub-projects are all on the small side, and the conduit pipe belongs to linear projects, so the discharge of pollutants does not concentrate on one place. According to the experience of the same projects, it is only at sometime and in limited area, the construction will affect the air quality, but it has little influence on large-scale air quality, and it will not change the level of air quality.

Floating dust can increase the concentration of suspended substance in the air, which is an important aspect of the influence of atmosphere environment caused by the construction. He Nan belongs to loess wash plain area, so it quite windy and dry in spring. Therefore, we should pay attention to the influence of floating dust during the construction in spring time.

As for the 37 water supply sub-projects, water source and water works are both located outside the county, so the 139 Environment ImpactAssesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject floating dust of the construction and the discharge of exhausted gas will not affect townsmen. But the distribution pipes are paved along the street in the city zone and the population in the city is very intensive, so the floating dust caused by digging (especially during the windy time in spring) will affect the air quality in the street and the public health. Just as the same, 5 waste water treatment sub-projects all locate outside the county. During the construction, the street air quality in the city will only be affected when the digging of the waste water collecting pipe begins.

The impact of air quality caused by the construction is just temporary, which is only limited to the construction period. When the construction finishes, the impact will disappear.

In order to reduce the amount of the discharge of exhausted gas, we should try to choose low emission pollution construction machines and vehicles. As for high emission pollution construction, we should install exhaust gas purification mechanism. Besides, we should select and use high quality fuel which causes less damage to the atmosphere environment. We should enhance the management and maintenance of machines and vehicles, and try to reduce air pollution which is caused by the poor condition of the vehicles. Cement mixing plant is built outside the city zone to reduce the influence of the floating dust. Dust collecting equipment should be installed to the mixing system in order to reduce the amount of dust emission. In order to reduce floating dust raised by the construction, we should enhance construction management. Piled soil should be protected, the sprinkled dust on the road should be cleared in time, and the vehicles should be cleaned before going out. The amount of floating dust is exposed to the influence of various factors, such as the road condition, whether the road surface is clean or not, construction intensity, construction machines, construction techniques, machine operation, personnel technique level, construction management and so on. 7.1.3 Impacts on acoustic environment

Normally, the mechanical vehicle used in such project include: excavator, concrete mixer, bull-dozer, scraper, truck, air compressor, drill, grit sieve, etc. Those vehicles are the main noise source during construction. According to Practical Data Manual for Environment Protection, refer Table 7-2 for the noise intensity of the above construction machines.

Table 7-2Noise intensity of several construction machines

Construction machines Noise intensity dB(A) 1 Excavator 112 2 Concrete mixer 75-88 3 Bull-dozer(100 horsepower) 78-96 4 Scraper 109 5 Heavy truck Acceleration 88-93;constant speed84-89 6 Medium truck Acceleration 85-91; constant speed 79-85 7 Air compressor 89-92 8 Drill 96-104 9 Grit sieve 102-113 High noise-volume equipments in the 42 sub-projects, water factories (wastewater treatment plant) and water transmit line (water source - water factory) located outside of county seat include: excavator, bull-dozer, truck, grit sieve system; High noise-volume equipments in the construction of water distribution line (or wastewater collection line) within the county seat include: scraper, truck, air compressor. According to Technical Guidelines for Plan Environmental Impact Assessment for Acoustic Environment (HJ/T2.4-1995), calculation of noise attenuation rule of high noise-volume construction machines is carried out with the point-source formula. The calculation formula is as follows: 140 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject

LA(r)=LWA-2 0lgr-8

In the formula: LA(r) Sound Level A (dB ) from sound source;

LWA - Intensity of noise source, Sound Power Level A (dB);

r -distance between sound-receiving point and center of sound source (m)

Refer Table 7-3 for the calculation results. The daytime and night qualification distance of construction machines are 30m and 300m respectively.

For the construction of the water factories and water transmit line (wastewater treatment plant) located outside of county seat, there are very few residents near the construction site (for protection targets of acoustic environment of each subproject refer to Table 6-5). There is no village within 300m of most projects, thus no noise pollution. There is noise pollution only in a few projects. For example, Guochang Village is only 20m south of Water Supply Project of Fengqiu, and the daytime construction will seriously affect the village. South of the planned location of Water Supply Project of Runan of Zhumadian City, there are villages, and the short distance between the residential place and the project is only 5-10m, thus, noise pollution is serious. Villages around Water Supply Projects of Suixian and some counties of Mengzhou are only 100-200m away from the projects, so noise pollution of the daytime construction is serious. The wastewater treatment project of Mengjin have sensitive targets within its subject area, however, the sensitive target (Group 13 of Niubuhe Village) is planned to be relocated 500m away, the impact of construction noise is quite little. Generally speaking, noise pollution of the projects out of the county town is not serious.

Noise pollution question exist in the construction on the street of water distribution line (or wastewater collection line) within the county seat. The high noise source of pipe construction mainly comes from drills and human knock, and the intensity of noise source of drills is relatively high. According to the above results of noise attenuation, the daytime and night qualification distance of drilling noise is 20m and 110m respectively. According to site observation, the street of the county seat where sub-project is located is 20-30m, on both sides of the street are such buildings as shops, residential buildings, governmental institutes, schools, hospitals, etc. Pipe construction is normally carried out along one side of the street, and the construction site is quite close to the buildings on the street, normally 5-6m away. According Grade Four Standard (70dB for daytime limit, 55dB for night) of Standardof Environmental Noise of Urban Area(GB3096-93 ) executed on both sides of the street, the construction noise at sensitive places will exceed standard value, and the excessive range is about 12dB at daytime and 27dB at night. Obviously, the construction noise seriously exceeds standards. However, from the site investigation, due to heavy traffic, the traffic running, vehicle siren and flow of people have already constitute a serious noise pollution. In other words, the noise is already quite high on the streets and exceeds standards. With the additional noise of construction, the impact will not be serious. However, due to the thick population in the county seat, noise pollution deserves special attention for prevention and curing. Especially during the night, construction should be strictly forbidden to avoid disturbing residents.

To reduce the impact of construction noise on urban residents, the following measures should be taken according to the Laws of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Cure of Ambient Noise Pollution: the construction unit should seek permission from the environment administrative institute of the County or higher People's Government; construction operation that produce noise pollution is forbidden at night; the residents' forgiveness should be pursued in public.

7.1.4 Impacts on soil

(1) Impacts on surface soil

Construction activity disturbs surface oil and will to some extent affect the soil conditions, mainly the surface soil.

Surface soil, which is formed during a long period by the microorganism and various living things, is very soft and rich in nutrition. The surface soil is important not only because it is essential to the plant growth, but also it forms the foundation of the ecological pyramid as one ring in the food chain. If there is no surface soil, a rich and diversified ecological system cannot be established. Once the surface soil is lost, the land capacity will be very difficult to recover. Usually, under the surface there is the sand and rock soil layer or low organism containing soil layer. During the digging process in the construction, these soil are turned over to the ground and will cause the decline of soil layer fertility or lead to sand soil. It is quite difficult for plants and trees to grow in such soil condition and the soil layer structure will be difficult to recover.

The 42 sub-projects in this project spread all over He Nan area, involving plain area, mountain area, and basin, etc. Seen as a whole, most of the sub-projects locates in the Yu Dong Plain, some locate in the Yu Xi mountain area and still some locate in Nan Yang basin. The surface soils from various areas are different to some extent.

Yu Dong plain: it is located the in central, eastern and northern Henan province. It is formed by Yellow River, Huai River and Hai River; therefore, it is also named Huang Huai Hai River. It belongs to part of the Hua Bei Plain. The main cities in this section where the sub-projects locate are Xin Xiang, Kai Feng, Xu Chang, Zhou Kou, Shang Qiu, Zhu Ma Dian, and Xin Yang, etc. The soil is very rich and agriculture has a long history in this section. It is an important agriculture area of our country. As the result of the natural influence such as weather,

142 Environment Impact Assesnment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject physiognomy, hydrometry and the profound influence of human activity such as, irrigation, cultivation, and fertilization, the surface soil becomes a very fertile and suitable soil layer for agriculture. The arable layer is usually 20-50cm thick. For example, near the Yellow River bank there are Kai Feng and Xin Xiang areas where saline-alkali soil exists. In these areas the arable layer is usually 20cm; the moisture soil mainly distributes in the vast wash plain which is in the east of Jing Guang line and the north of Sha, Ying River(such as, Xu Chang, Zhou Kou, Shang Qiu, Kai Feng) and formed by Yellow River and Hai River. Its surface mud silting layer and is generally 30 cm thick. Paddy soil distributes in Huan Nan Plain area (Xin Yang) and its arable layer is very thick which can reach up to Im.

Nan Yang basin: it locates in southwest He Nan province and is surrounded by mountains in the east, north, and west. The sub-project cities in this section are Dengzhou, Xinye, Sheqi, Xichuan and Neixiang, which all belongs to Nanyang City. Its main kinds of soil are irregular lime concretions, black soil, and paddy soil in some areas. Its arable layer is similar as that of the plain area.

Yu Xi mountain area: it locates in western He Nan province, mainly including Luo Yang city, Jiao Zuo city, and Ping Ding Shan city. In low hill, terrace, there mainly exists cinnamonic soil. Due to severe airslaking, soil erosion, the soil is very poor and soil layer is very thin.

Normally, the digging depth of the project is about 1-2m, deeper than the plough layer. Thus the construction will disturb earth surface, ruin soil and decrease the fertility. Especially the soil layer in the mountainous area west of He Nan and plain near Yellow River is relatively thin, and the soil is quite infertile, so the soil is vulnerable to the possible threats of construction. Thus, strict measures should be taken to protect the soil during construction to reduce the negative impact on farmland and ecological environment. During the digging, the surface earth (50cm is the suggested depth) should be piled alone, and strict measures to avoid loss of soil and water should be taken. For the pipeline project, when the construction is over, the underground earth is filled firstly, and then the surface earth should be filled evenly on the surface. By doing this damage to the farmland can be reduced and loose soil is recovered.

Besides, the land pressed temporarily during construction will become hardened, so after the construction, the earth should be ploughed again to recover the looseness of the soil.

(2) Water loss and soil erosion during construction period

New water loss and soil erosion during construction period mainly results from the excavation of earth and stone, conveyance to other places, and stacking. The vegetation in collected areas is eliminated after excavation, and the earth's surface is in bareness, which leads to the decreasing in the anti-erodibility of soil, and the increase in the quantity of erosion of soil. Processes such as elimination of vegetation, dismantlement of house, covering-up of hole and pond, digging of ground, stacking of soil, conveyance of waste soil, and stacking of waste slag, change the original ground, and destroyed the original equilibrium in the movement of water and soil, which may give rise to fairly strong water loss and soil erosion. Because the density of the excavated and stacked earth and stone is lower than the density of the original physiognomy, the potential erosion intensities of wind erosion and water erosion have gain much increased.

The waste soil in construction mainly comes from the excavation of pipelines and excavation of the groundwork of water purifying plant. The quantity of waste soil resulted from the excavation of the groundwork in each sub-project water plant (wastewater treatment plant) is quite close. Calculated on the criterion that each water plant covers an area between 25 mu and 45 mu, and the groundwork is 5m in depth, the quantity of waste soil in the construction of water plant (wastewater treatment plant) usually is between 160000 m3 and 300000 m3 . Because the delivery pipeline, mixing pipeline, and wastewater-collecting pipeline is different in length, there is a huge gap in the quantity of waster soil. With regard to the delivery pipeline, for projects in which the location of 143 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject water source is in the vicinity of water plant, the pipelines are quite short, and the quantity of waste soil is fairly small; for projects in which the location of water source is far away from water plant, the pipelines are long, and the quantity of waste soil is fairly huge. Calculated on the criterion that the excavation depth averages 1.5m, and the diameter of pipeline is 0.8m, we can estimate the quantity of waste soil during pipeline construction of each sub-project. For projects in which the location of water source is in the vicinity of water plant, the quantity of waste soil is 100-3000m3 ; and for projects in which the location of water source is far away from water plant, the quantity of waste soil is 12000-31000m3 . At the same time we can estimate that the quantity of waste soil in the construction of mixing pipeline of each sub-project is approximately 15000-20000m 3 .

The arbitrary stacking and discarding of waste soil of project construction will give rise to floating dust water loss and soil erosion. The potential risk of water loss and soil erosion is quite high in projects in the mountainous area of west Henan. If we pour the waste soil to rivers at will, the thickness of mud and sand will increase; if we stack the waste soil on farms, the growing of crops and agricultural production may be affected.

Each sub-project in this project commonly chooses the nearest desolate chimb, billabong, or garbage burying site to dispose waste soil. Since all the waste soil is good soil, it is recommended that they should be made full use of. For example, they could be used to cover up holes, pave roads, and reclaim land from filling up ground, and so on. As for sub-projects in the plain area, the surrounding bumpy ground is quite wide; and there are desolate chimbs in sub-projects in hills of mountainous area. As a result, we should choose reasonable sites according to actual conditions. With regard to the buried site of waste soil, we should take protective measures such as greening, covering-up, sheltering, and so on, to prevent and cure water loss and soil erosion and floating dust.

Based on the regional features of the 42 sub-projects, we can divide the sup-projects into 2 categories according to the degree of the potential influence of water loss and soil erosion: projects in areas heavily affected by water loss and soil erosion, and projects in areas commonly affected by water loss and soil erosion.

1) Areas heavily affected by water loss and soil erosion

Sub-projects of this category are mainly in mountainous areas in west Henan, including sub-projects in Luoyang City, Ping Dingshan City, and Jiaozuo City.

Hills in mountainous areas in west Henan are hills with the features of stone that have been denudated by wind erosion for a long period. And some hills are loess hills that washed by flowing water on loess plateau. Hills and mountainous regions are distributed in pairs. On the terraces and low hills in these areas, the soil is barren, the soil layer is quite thin, the soil is loose, the vegetation is sparse, and water loss and soil erosion is very serious. These areas are the key areas of water and soil preservation in Henan Province. Due to the impact of concentrated heavy rainfall, there will appear severe water loss and soil erosion during construction. In addition, when heavy wind blows in spring, there will also appear severe wind erosion in short period and small area.

According to relevant data, the modulus of water erosion in low-hill area is 2000t/km2 a, and the modulus of wind erosion (the coverage rate of the earth' s surface is above 40%)is 400tIkm 2a. Each sub-project in this area generally is 2-4ha, which is fairly small. We can know that the modulus of soil erosion of single sub-project is 48-96t/a by means of estimation. If the limit of the construction is 2 years, then the potential new quantity of soil erosion of each project is 96-192t. Though the quantity of water loss and soil erosion of a single project is not huge, the status quo of water loss and soil erosion in this area is already very serious. As a result, strict protective measures of preserving soil and water should be taken in construction.

2) Areas commonly affected by water loss and soil erosion

Sub-projects of this category are on plain region, including Kaifeng City, Shangqiu City, Xinxiang City, Zhoukou City, Xuchang City, Zhu Madian City, Xinyang City, and Nanyang City. The hypsography in this region is smooth, 144 l Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject and water loss and soil erosion is comparatively less.

The impacts of water loss and soil erosion generated during construction period are: 1)floating dust generated during construction period and waste gas discharged by constructing machines and vehicles will raise partial atmosphere pollution; especially during gale in spring and autumn, the impacts of floating dust may be quite severe, which often give rise to heavy pollution of the atmosphere, and influence the health of people; 2)during the process of temporary stacking and transportation with vehicles, waste dreg on building site may generate water loss and soil erosion, and fill up river course and cloaca. The water loss and soil erosion area of each sub-project is approximately 30-50ha.

According to the on-site review of the 9 sub-projects and the analysis of the 39 projects (already made into the statement of environmental impacts) in the statement of environmental impacts conducted by evaluation units, all the affected regions of the project are not in natural reserves, scenic spots, national forest garden, natural forest, habitat of rare and precious propagation, or special ecosystem, all of which are stipulated as environmental sensitive areas by the national government. And there is no problem of affecting the environmental sensitive areas.

According to RAP, it is required to cut cut 11095 nos of young trees, 116 nos of mature tree, 11 mu of nursery (refer to table 2-8 & 2-9). Among these, young trees are mostly located in Dengzhou city (3642 nos) , Xiangcheng county (3055 nos) and Xiangcheng city (1628 nos); mature trees are mostly located in Suiping county (nos); and nursery only located in Dengzhou city. Rest of subprojects only occupied farm land, rarely occupied surface vegetation. Refer to subprojects EIA reports and field inspection of 10 subprojects, all the trees required to be cut are normal species, such as, no special species. Among the cutting trees, young trees could be relocated to other locations for plantation, but mature trees are not able for relocated, so only cutting is feasible option. Cutting of trees will reduce the local surface vegetation, and cause certain impact on the local ecological environment.

However, the water plant and its surroundings will carry through aforestation after the accomplishment of the project. And there will take on better vegetation and sight, and the environment will be improved.

145 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 7.2 Impacts on Social Environment 7.2.1 Impacts on agriculture

(1) Agricultural reduction of output loss caused by temporary land occupancy

Temporary land occupancy during construction mainly comes from temporary land occupancy of water intake, pipeline construction, encampment, material stacking site and other sites. The impacts of such permanent land occupancy as workshop and pump room will be analyzed during functioning period. In addition, construction of mixing pipeline network in city zones will not involve occupying farmland.

All the water supply sub-project is located in the country belt in the vicinity of county sea. All the lands occupied by water intake, delivery pipeline and temporary construction area are farmland, and mostly are national fundamental farmland (for example, according to the on-site review of 9 sub-projects, all the delivery pipelines traverse national fundamental farmland district on smooth region). According to RAP, total area of temporary land occupancy for construction is 968.5 mu, land occupancy is different in each sub project, and the area difference is relatively big. Among of these, temporary land occupancy for most of subprojects (36 nos) is ranged from 0-15 mu; 3 subprojects, including Weishi, Mengji and Xincai (all are water supply) is ranged from 15-30 mu; land occupancy of 5 subprojects is relatively big, including, Baofeng, Lushan, Xinxiang, Dengzhou and Mengzhou (all are water supply), is ranged from 30-300 mu.

Agricultural cultivation in project region generally is 2 periods per year (winter-spring period and summer-autumn period shift). Representational crops in winter-spring period is wheat, in summer-autumn period is corn. According to the statistics of local agricultural offices, the average production of wheat per mu is 400kg, and the average production of corn per mu is 500kg. When the government purchases commissariat, the average price of wheat is 1.04 RMB/kg, and the average price of corn is 0.80 RMB/kg. The limit of construction is 2 years, and because the pipeline project is linear project, and adopts the method of constructing section by section, if accounting on the basis that average limit of occupying land is 1 period, we can estimate the loss in commissariat production caused by the temporarily land-occupying of pipelines construction. For most of subproject, the temporary land occupancy is relatively small, the losses in commissariat production are estimated as: wheat 0-0.6t/period or crop 0-0.75t/period (or 0-6,000 RMB/period). For Weishi, Mengji and Xingcao water supply subproject, the losses in commissariat production are esitmated as: wheat 0.6-1.2t/period or crop 0.75-1.5t/period (or 6,000-12,000 RMB/period). For Baofeng, Lushan, Xinxiang, Denghou and Mengzhou water supply subproject, the land occupancy is relatively big, the losses in commissariat production are estimated as: wheat 1.2-12tlperiod or crop 1.5-15t/period (or 12,000-120,000 RMB/period). Thus, we can find out those sub-projects in such counties as Baofeng County and Dengzhou city, because the pipelines are long, agricultural production loss brought about by temporarily occupied land is comparatively huge. Among of these, the losses in commissariat production of Dengzhou city is the highest, about 120,000 RMB/period, for other 4 subprojects, all of the losses in commissariat production are less than 32,000 RMB/period.

Since delivery pipeline project is linear project, the temporarily occupied lands of construction are distributed along the line, instead of centralized. And its temporarily occupied lands' impacts on agricultural production also are quite distributed. Besides, ground resource per head in regions along the line of the project is quite abundant, and generally plowland per head is above 1 mu. As a result, the temporarily occupied lands of construction have no serious impacts on local agricultural production, and the impacts are temporary. If compensation measures are taken, and plowland is restored after construction in time, there will be no serious impacts on local farmers' agricultural production. For sub-projects whose pipelines are long, losses brought about by temporarily occupied lands are fairly huge.

(2) Impacts on farmland irrigation facilities 146

l Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject As delivery pipelines traverse rural belt, excavation of pipelines may affect farmland irrigation. Although water purifying plants (wastewater treatment plants) are also planned to build in rural districts, most of them have accomplished land-collecting. Thus there is no impact on farmland irrigation.

Impacts on farmland irrigation facilities mainly appear in districts that use surface water to irrigate farmland. For example, the delivery pipelines of water supply project in Xinxiang need to traverse such farmland irrigation dykes as People's Victory Dyke and Dong Sangan Dyke. However, if reasonable measures of leading stream are taken, flooding season is avoided, and original appearance is resorted in time, project construction will not affect farmland irrigation and dry dyke's function of receding water.

Therefore, careful survey should be taken before construction. If construction needs to occupy wells, then substitute wells should be prepared in advance so as to prevent affecting and possibly resulting in social trouble. 7.2.2 Impacts on cultural relics and historic sites

The affected regions of 39 sub-projects (already made into statement of environmental impact) basically do not involve cultural relics on the earth's surface, and old-aged or famous trees, and have no impact on cultural relics and historic sites. Only in Runan, the water source of water supply project is very close to Tianzhong Mountain, which is a county cultural relic unit publicized RuLnan govetnment in 1986. This site is located near the Runai water supply subproject water resource area. but not included the area. TIhe closest well will be 500m distance to the relic. No direct impact to the site, since there is no croaching or relocation need, however, Construction in this region may have some impacts, such as visual impact, traffic, and construction personnel may damage cultural relics. Hence, protective measures should be implemented during construction (refer to Chapter 9).

Because Henan Province is one of the Chinese birthplaces, and there are 20 dynasties located their capital in Henan or move their capital to Henan, there are a great number of cultural relics in Henan Province. Therefore, construction excavation may encounter underground cultural relics that have not been exploited, such as tumulus and ancient ashes. Underground cultural relics are still unknown to people. As a result, if finding cultural relics and historic site during construction, construction unit can not deal with it on its own. In accordance with national laws on cultural relic protection, it should protect the locale, contact cultural relic management department, and deal with it appropriately. 7.2.3 Impacts on urban landscape

Impacts on urban landscape mainly come from the mixing pipeline project of water supply project and wastewater pipeline network project of wastewater project. These pipelines are laid down in county seat, and have some potential impacts on the sight in county and sanitation on the street.

Generally speaking, "dirty, chaotic, blocked, and noisy" is the universal status on construction site. Floating dust, waste gas, dregs, noises, and traffic blocking are very serious. All these problems have severely impacts on city sight. As far as this project is concerned, each construction process may have the same problems similar to other projects, and will inevitably affects the city sight. However, this kind of impact on city sight only takes place during construction, and is temporary. With the winding up of construction, leveling off and restoring of site, the impact on city sight will also come to an end, instead a clean and tidy environment will appear.

According to the programming of construction, all the project constructions will last through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Because loose soil will be stacked alongside temporarily during the exaction of channels, spilling will inevitably take place in the process of transportation, which will affect surrounding roads and sanitation in residential area. In spring, wind and sand in project area is quite strong. Strong wind will blow up the dust on excavation site, and the dust will permeate in the air, diffuse, and finally subside on the roads, buildings, sites, cars, and trees, which will affect sanitation on the streets. There is much rainfall in summer, and rainstorm is 147 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject quite frequent. Heavy rain will wash loose soil into cloaca. There is comparatively much rainfall in autumn. Though there is no rainstorm, soil erosion will also take place.

Large quantities of soil from river course excavation need to be transported outside, and the spilling of soil in the process of load, unload and transportation is inevitable. Dirt spilled on the roads may be raised in to the air by passing vehicles, which will affect the quality of air and the beauty of city.

Generally, construction personnel are outside workers. Not have a strong awareness of sanitation, they are apt to leave about things, throw garbage away, pour wastewater and hang clothes all at will, which will affect the beauty of city.

On fine days, dust on the roads will be raised by endless vehicle, which will pollute the air; on rainy days, there will appear a thin layer of slop on the surface of the roads. Mud will splash when cars go by; when the sky clears up after a rain, the slop will turn into dust, and permeate in the air. Pollution of the surface of roads, especially dust, which is quite difficult to rid up completely, will increase the burden of sanitation workers.

With regard to cities, sanitation on the surface of streets is of great importance and sensitivity. The status of sanitation on the surface of streets is a critical factor when people assess a city. A city with clean streets, stainless air will make people fell released, and cherish nice environment even more, and like this city even more. In contrast, a city with dust everywhere will make people feel disgusting and have a worse impression of it.

The impacts of this project concentrate on the streets where pipelines are laid down. Therefore, in order to prevent the appearance of "dirty, chaotic, and bad" scene, we should reinforce the management of construction in construction area. For example, take protective measures for temporarily stacked soil; assign specific workers to clean streets in time; transportation vehicles should be airproof, and the payload should not be excessive so as to prevent raising dust in the process of transportation, and so on. 7.2.4 Impacts on urban and rural transportation

All the delivery pipelines in water supply project are traversing farmland outside country seat, which basically has no influence on transportation. However, some projects need to traverse roads, such as projects in Suixian and Weishi; the excavation of road surface during construction will lead to transportation interruption in a short period. For these projects, overall plans should be made before construction, and temporary substitution road should be paved in advance to make sure that local transportation will not be affected, and the limit of the construction should be curtailed as short as possible, and be restored in time.

Water purifying plants of water supply project and wastewater treatment plants of wastewater project are all located on the verge of county seat and new city zone in programming. Most of these projects are close to the transportation artery of county seat, and a few projects are situated in the vicinity of country road. During construction, passing transportation vehicles may influence the traffic to some extent. According to the field inspection of 9 sub-projects, most of the transportation roads on which planned factories are built are newly built. Among them, some are traffic nerves of new development area in programming (such as Yuanyang), some are loops of new development area in programming (such as Suixian, Tongxu, Yiyang), some are traffic main drag between counties (such as Suiping). Roads close to these projects are quite wide, and their conditions are good, and status quo is smooth. Because the quantity of engineering of the projects is not huge, and there are few transporting vehicles, the construction around water plant has little influence on traffic.

There also are some water plant of some projects that are not close to traffic artery, but in the vicinity of country roads, such as projects in Lankao and Taikang County, where project construction on these narrow roads is apt to lead to jamming. At the same time, the to-and-fro running on these roads could damage the surface of the roads. Especially in summer, the quantity of rainfall is quite high; after partially soaked in accumulated water, surface of 148 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the roads is particularly apt to be destroyed by the grinding of heavy vehicles, which will affects the passing ability of the roads. As a result, works should be done in advance for these projects. For example, during designing and construction stage, arrange the procedures of construction scientifically, pave supporting passing roads in advance, reduce the influence exerted on traffic by construction; damages of roads caused by construction vehicles should be resorted in time so as to keep the road in good condition; and narrow roads could be widened in combination with regulations on road and programming of new rural area.

Distribution pipeline works of water supply project and wastewater pipeline network of wastewater project commonly locate in city zones, which have some potential influence on rural traffic. Because pipelines will be laid along streets, and be networked, and the total length of the pipelines is fairly long (mostly is 20-40km, for example the length in Lankao is 32km; some are as fairly long as 50-60km, for example the length in Xiangcheng is 53km; some exceptional projects, such as Luoshan, the length is as long as 97km; some lengths are as fairly short as 1-20km, for example in Fengqiu, Kaifeng, Suixian, Mengzhou, Pingqiao District in Xinyang City, Xixian, and so on) , involves a number of streets in downtown area, at the same time, the traffic in city zone is busy, density of population is high, and the flux of vehicles is big, thus construction has a critical influence on the traffic in city zone, which is the highlight of the this project' s impacts on traffic. According to on-site knowledge, excavation of pipeline is generally accomplished by manual work, which incise the excavation area on the surface of roads with drilling machine, then have workers dig with machines along one side of the streets. Thus, generally, the impacts on traffic exerted by construction machine vehicles will become fewer; the construction will not result in traffic obstruction or interruption; construction's impacts on traffic in city zones are mainly on excavation section, where waste dreg, sand and stone materials, stacking of machines, the comparatively convergence of construction workers would give rise to the problem that vehicles and passersby can not move smoothly partially.

Traffic jam will bring much inconvenience to residents. For example, traffic jam will waste people's precious time, reduce work efficiency, make people late for work, miss train or bus, and could not be present in a meeting on time, disrupt people's plan of travel. At the same time, traffic jam will reduce the efficiency of taxi and bus, cut down earnings, make ambulance could not deliver patients to hospitals in time, police vehicles could not rush to the crime site, fire engine could not rush to the fire site, and so on. To sum up, traffic jam will bring disadvantageous impacts to every corner of society.

Network of mixing Pipelines are laid down along streets to a wide area, involve a number of streets, and the pipeline traffic in city zone is busy, density of population is high, and the flux of vehicles is big, (npetwor of thus construction has a critical influence on the traffic in city zone. It will not give rise (network of to traffic obstruction or interruption; however, it will lead to the problem that vehicles wastewater pipeline) and passersby cannot move smoothly partially. During designing and construction stage, we should acquire the support of each department under the universal auspices of municipal government and the sufficient consultation with rural traffic management department and town-planning construction management department, shunt vehicles and passersby reasonably, and administratively make sure to settle traffic problems during construction. At the same time, we should reinforce the management of construction, and reduce the impacts on traffic. 149 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 7.2.5 Impacts on inhabitants' life

According to the analysis of field review of 9 sub-projects, environmental impact assessment report on 42 subprojects and the project's social impact assessment report, among 37 Water Supply Projects and 5 wastewater treatment projects, only the wastewater treatment project of Mengjin involves removing residents; others are free of this problem. Therefore, the construction's impacts on inhabitants' life can be classified into the two following aspects, of which the second one is the main side.

(1) Impacts on the removed residents

According to the project's social assessment report, among all the projects, only the wastewater treatment project of Mengjin involves the problem of removing residents. The planned wastewater treatment plant will permanently occupy the homesite of the 13 th team's residents in Niubuhe Village with 23 families. In total, 60 people will remove from their homesite, the building acreage of which is 2300m 2. The project plans to allocate all those residents to an after place which lies to the east of their current residence, about 500m away. The allocation area is flat and smooth, without any industrial enterprises within a radius of 300m; the current surroundings there are all right; it abuts on the Jin-Gao down-lead, so the traffic is very convenient. To the removed inhabitants, the remove will not change their resident environment and living habits basically. However, the remove may increase the inhabitants' trouble and impose on them some psychological impacts. If the compensatory and allocation measures are not carried out properly, the living quality of the residents will be reduced. At the same time, rationality of the compensatory and allocation measures will directly influence the process of removing. Therefore, compensation and allocation must be carried out well in order to reduce its impacts on the removed residents. The owners and planning section must carry out thorough investigation and study, and adopt reasonable treatment measures according to the current local situations and characteristics, as well as the villagers' requests.

According to the social assessment report and the environmental assessment report of the project, the 13th team, which is planned to be removed, is 2km away from the central administrative village and is not convenient in traffic. Before the plan to construct the wastewater treatment plant, the villatic committee had already planned to remove it to a place nearer to the central village, which lies close to the Meng-Luohe Highway, with convenient traffic and convenient for the villagers' life and production. That project is being investigated with regard to its feasibility. Through the public consultation to get the information, repeated collection of the local residents' opinions, consideration of the wastewater treatment plant's environmental impact extension and sanitarian defense distance, together with its combination with this project, the problem of removing residents has been settled properly. The local villagers and the constructors have come to an agreement and the project has been authorized by the governmental department. The people's government of Mengjin will offer the compensatory fee with the standard of 28ORMB/ m2 . In total, the compensatory fee for the 23 families counts up to 644000RMB.

The construction of the Water Supply Project's water transportation pipe and water purification plant, as well as the construction of the wastewater treatment plant, will only influence the nearby inhabitants whose number is small. The impacts are mainly noise, dust and traffic. Besides, the construction imposes some impacts on irrigation works in the farmland and wells used for drinking.

(2) Impacts on inhabitants' life

Because most of the construction does not involve removing inhabitants, those who are influenced are mainly inhabitants nearby.

Construction of the water transportation pipe, water purification factory and wastewater treatment plant:

Builders of the construction will live there in large number, with many vehicles, especially those with large carrying capacity, so traffic there will be affected; the noise and dust will have impacts on the villagers' living 150 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject environment; vehicles of large size will bring the problem of safety; moreover, because a great many builders live together, if not administered properly, they might come into conflict with the local inhabitants and further reduce the construction rate; the country roads used for the construction are often under poor conditions and easily get destroyed once pressed by heavy vehicles in rainy season, so proper measures must be taken when constructing those roads.

Because the water transportation pipes go through country zones, digging the pipes may influence farmland irrigation channels and wells. Although the water purification factory (wastewater treatment plant) is also planned to be located in those country areas, most parts have got the land; so it will not pose any obstruction.

The construction of the water transportation pipes mainly influences the farmland irrigation works and wells for drinking water in the following aspects:

* Impacts on the intersectional farmland irrigation channels: such impacts mostly exist in the area where surface water is used to irrigate the farmland. Take Xinxiang Water Supply Project as an example. Its water transportation pipe needs to go through People's Victory Trench, Dongsan Branch Trench and other irrigation channels. However, if reasonable leading measures are taken in the construction, flood season is avoided and the original appearance can be recovered in time, the farmland irrigation and the branch channel's withdrawal function will not be affected.

* Impacts on wells: the site of water transportation pipe is planned to keep away from villages, so the impacts of engrossing wells is small. However, work areas such as construction sites, encampment and material piling fields may still occupy or destroy the drinking wells of nearby villages. Once the wells get destroyed, the villagers' everyday use of water and farmland irrigation will be influenced. Therefore, careful reconnaissance must be carried out before the construction. If there is need to engross wells, their substitutes must be prepared in advance so as to avoid bad impacts and some potential social trouble.

Construction of equipped water pipe net and wastewater collection pipe net:

The construction of equipped water pipe net and wastewater collection pipe net of the Water Supply Project mostly influence inhabitants in county seat where the distribution of population is thick. The population that gets influenced is large. The impacts mainly lie in the city traffic, residents' everyday travel, noise, dust and so on. Among them, impact on traffic is the uppermost aspect.

The above-mentioned impacts can be settled properly if the management and supervision get strengthened. For example, they can limit the vehicles' speed, clean the streets regularly, pile the materials in proper places, repair the roads in time, and strengthen the administration and supervision on the builders and so on. 7.2.6 Impacts on crowd's health

The construction's impacts on nearby inhabitants' health are not very large. Such impacts mostly go to the workers on the scene, and they include:

* The inhabitation of the workers is mass; their room and board is unified; the production and living conditions are relatively bad, so they are prone to get infected by certain diseases. In spring, summer and winter, there are some common infectious diseases such as cold, hepatitis, dysentery, eye diseases and so on. Especially in summer, when the temperature is high, infection is more prone to happen.

* Mosquitoes, flies and mice are important factors which spread the diseases. If the work of exterminating those harmful animals is overlooked, the infectious diseases will become more dangerous.

* Sometimes the workers are required to carry out heavy work for a long time, and together with the bad mess

151 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject and inanition, their faculty to counteract diseases is weakened, so the infectious diseases become more dangerous.

* The workers' capacity to adapt to environment varies from individual to individual. Their immunity also varies according to their physical conditions. Therefore, a certain part of them may suffer more seriously.

* If the wastewater and everyday garbage produced by the builders are not disposed properly, they might become important factors that influence their physical health.

* Some workers may carry certain pathogens and viruses. If physical examination is not carried out on them, some carriers of infectious viruses such as hepatitis may enter the construction spot and the viruses may proliferate.

* Some workers, especially temporary workers from countryside, have many bad sanitation habits, and are not conscious enough to environmental sanitation. Those factors can further help the diseases' occurrence and proliferation.

* Henna is a province with dense population, so the workers may get infected by the local infectious diseases.

* The noise from the construction machines as well as the dust produced in the course of construction has certain impacts on the workers physical health.

* In winter, the workers mainly live in tabernacles. Because of the lack of heating establishment, they mostly use coal to warm themselves, so deaths resulted from coal gas poisoning often take place.

* The injuries resulted from the workers' unfamiliarity with operation regulations also pose a potential problem.

Adopting some relevant safeguard measures for public health can decrease or avoid the impacts on the workers' physical health. The safeguard measures mainly include cleaning up and antisepsis, regular physical examination, assurance of good living and sanitation conditions, establishment of emergency measures against diseases and infectious diseases, the strengthening of supervision and administration, and so on. 7.2.7 Impacts on local society and economy

The total investment of the construction is 290,652,300 dollars (241,241,450 RMB). The construction creates many employment openings and brings very good opportunities to the constructors, architecture material industry and other relevant industries. In addition, the builders' residence there demands massive provision of living materials and brings to the suburb areas opportunities to become rich. According to the demand of labor force for the construction, some run-of-mill work should be assigned to and finished by local farmer workers. In that way, the local employment pressure will be reduced and local inhabitants' income will be increased.

The construction investment will accelerate the local economy of the county seats where the sub-projects locate. 7.2.8 Impacts on the safety of dams and other aspests 1) Impacts on the safety of dams

Sincc 5 projects take rcservoir s as water source, the water intake projects of them may havc impacts ol dam safety and water supply. The environmental impact assessment unit and World Bank made special investigation about it.

T he reservoirs, taken as water- source of the above 5 projects, are all existed reservoirs. lThe constructions of water intake projects won't rebuild or extend the exited darns. And the construction of water intakes and water transfer pipes won't influence opcration of the reservoirs and structure of darns.

152 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Every reservoir has its management organization, in charge of its scheduling, operating and daily mailitcnace. There is a technical department (Water Conservancy departments) responsible for the .maintenace and reinforcement of the reservoirs and dams ( Every 6-10 years. qualificatory organization will assess the safety of dam and reservoir according the national specified produre and standard). Furthermore, there will be inspectionl for i-eservoirs before and al'er high flow eaelh year. Previous 5 sub-projects had all been built early (4 reserviors built in 1950's -1960's, 1 reserviors built in 1980') and had ageing problems. T'herefore. during 2001-2003, relative organization had assessed them individually. Among those reservoirs, Zhaopingtai Reservior. Boshan Reservior, Hon-shizui Resercior and I ]ii" ihL; Reservior had been as C category (morbid and danger reservior), and had been placed into the list of erserviors to be reinfoiced by government. For Zhaopingtai Reservior- and Hongshizui Reservior, reinftorcement had been completed and accepted in 2005. For Longxingsi Reservior and Boshan Reservior. the reinforcemnent will be put into effect in 2006-2007.

2) Construction safety problems

The distribution pipelines of water supply projects and wastewater collection pipe net of the Wastewater treatment project are all constructed in the city zones. Some projects go across railways and rivers. The construction commonly adopts the form of digging under or on the land surface. According to the experience from similar projects, the above-mentioned measures can both cause the buildings all around to incline or even break down, and have impacts on physical health of the public.

Therefore, the planning section of the construction must carefully reconnoiter the geological conditions in order to ensure that such problems will not happen in the construction course.

154 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 8. Environmental Empact Assessment in the Function Course 8.1 Water Supply Project' Impacts on Environment 8.1.1 Impacts on water resources and ecological environment

(1) Water intake impacts on water resources and ecological environment

According to the argumentation report on water resources, every groundwater project's pumping capacity should be within the available quantity. On the basis of the diagnoses of 9 sub-projects, because there is abundant water, the projects using surface water (for example, Yiyang) and the projects near the river course which uses underwater( for example, Songxian and Yuanyang ) have little impacts on water resources and ecological environment. However, in plain regions, the projects mainly using shallow-layer groundwater (such as Weishi and Suixian) inevitably cause the underwater table to fall, make the soil drought and affect the ecological environment on the earth's surface.

In order to reduce the water intake impacts on water resources and ecological environment, some general measures must be adopted. Firstly, the collocation of water should be optimized according to season. In seasons when there is abundant water, shallow-layer groundwater is used as the main resource; in dry seasons, deep-layer groundwater is mainly used. By this means, the impacts of dry seasons on crops can be reduced and the conflict on water between the construction and farmland irrigation can be relaxed. Secondly, the distance between the wells should be increased in order to decrease the falling extent of the underwater table.

In the following part, a detailed analysis will be carried out on the basis of 9 investigated counties.

Yiyang Water Supply Project

This project draws water from Luohe River, with a withdrawal capacity of 25000m3/d, and its quantity of withdrawn water only accounts for 1.7% of the reach's cross-sectional flux( with the guarantee rate being 95%). Therefore, its impacts on water resources in the lower reaches of the river and the river course's ecological environment are very small.

Songxian Water Supply Project

This project is to dig wells as water source on the floodplain of Yi River's left bank, so as to exploit the shallow-layer groundwater. The scale of water supply is 30,000m3 /d. the water source is very reliable because the wells are adjacent to the river and there are large-scale mild slope areas to their north, bringing along rich ground water. According to the Verification Report on Water Resource, the gross logistical demand exceeds the gross produced quantity; water level of the center well is less than that of local control. Therefore, to exploit water in this area will not make a serious impact on local water resource, nor will it form big funnels which will cause environmental disaster in exploitation area such as land subsidence ground granny and desertification . Yuanyang Water Supply Project

The newly-chosen water resource lies about 5 km south of the county, not so far away from the Yellow River. It has rich underground water resources because of the replenishment from the Yellow River. Water oozes from ponds because the level of underground water is quite shallow here. Therefore, to exploit water in this area will not produce adverse effect on the water resource or on the environment.

Weishi Water Supply Project

This water source lies to the north of county's new administrative region, covering area of 35kmn2 This project 155 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject adopts the slicing exploitation scheme, that is to say, to exploit the deep-layer groundwater and the shallow-layer groundwater separately. People extract water from shallow wells in rainy season and extract water from deep wells in dry season. The scale of water exploitation is 3.50000m3/d. According to the Reconnaissance Report, average annual allowable produced quantity of shallow-layer groundwater is 219,000,000m3 /a, while average annual allowable produced quantity of middle layer and deep-layer groundwater is 2, 2040, OOOm/a. By and large, to exploit water here will not cause exhaustion of ground water because the scale of water exploitation is smaller than the allowable produced quantity. This project will to some extent lower the level of shallow-layer groundwater and produce some adverse effects on ecology environment of the surface even after the adoption of the optimizing scheme of exploiting the water separately in rainy season and in dry season because it rely mainly on the exploitation on shallow-layer groundwater. According to the site inspections, there are many farmlands and a few roadside trees but on natural vegetation on the water source, so the lowering of ground water will lead to the drought of the land, which will affect the growth and output of the crops. Strengthened monitor is needed when running this item, and prompt compensating measures should be made by the government according to specific circumstances.

According to the item design, the spacing of wells is 450m, but from the past experience of other well cluster we suggest increasing the spacing moderately because we the water source is on the plain, so as to decrease the lowering of the ground water around.

Tongxu Water Supplv Project

The water source is chosen in the north of the county, on the west bank of the Wo River. The site is confined to an area of about 3 square kilometers, east of the Tongkai Highway (Tongxu to Kaifeng). It extracts water from the middle layer and the deep layer. The water supply scale is 3.50000m3 /d. According to the reconnaissance report of controlled exploitation from the water source, a produced quantity of 3.50000m3 /d is amply replenished. It will not affect the supply of agriculture water and the normal service of the existing wells, nor will it cause the exhaustion of underground water. However, the site of the project situates on the plain and all layers here have formed funnels. The central buried depth of funnel in middle and deep-layer is 14m, with an annual dropping rate of 0.5m. And shallow-layer groundwater is closely link to deep-layer ground water for the former leak in to the latter though holes. Extracting water from deep layer will certainly affect shallow-layer groundwater and at the same time enlarge the area of the funnels of these two layers. According to the item design, the spacing of wells is 300-500m, but from the past experience of other well cluster we suggest the spacing should be no less than 500m because we the water source is on the plain, so as to decrease the lowering of the ground water around.

Lankao Water Supply Project

This water source is chosen on both sides of the Yifeng cannel, with a production zone of lOlOkm2 . This project adopts the slicing exploitation scheme, exploiting the deep-layer groundwater and the shallow-layer groundwater separately. The scale of water supply is 30,000m3/d. According to the Verification Report of Water Resource, the allowable produced quantity of deep-layer groundwater is 20000m3 /d. Buried depth of the variable water level will be 58.54m 30 years later. Water supply is therefore assured during the operating period. It is reasonable to mainly extract water from deep layer. Water supply in shallow layer of new water source is 1,000m 3/d. The balanced capacity of hallow groundwater is 186.70000m3 /a after the implementation of the projects: Irrigation from The Yellow River and Replenishment to The Source from the Yellow River, so exploitation from shallow-layer groundwater will not cause the lowering of the underground water before 2010 in appraisal area. And because there is heavy layer of clay between the deep-layer groundwater and the middle-layer groundwater, extracting water from the deep layer will not affect water of the upper layers. For people has long been extracting water from the deep layer, the balanced adjustment level in hallow layer remains the same for years. To exploit water within allowable range will not cause ecology environmental disasters in production zone such as 156 Environnent Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject land subsidence clack of the earth and desertification.

Suixian Water Supplv Project

The water source of this project situates in the northeast of the county. To extract water from shallow layer and deep layer respectively, because water from middle layer is either brackish or salty, which cannot be drank. Near term water supply is 1000m3/d (loans from World Bank) and long-term water supply is 3000m 3/d. It has been calculated that the allowable production quantity of shallow-layer groundwater is 10,700m3/d, while the allowable production quantity of deep-layer groundwater is 40,000m3/d, adding up to an amount of 50,700m3/d. since the first phase of the production quantity is far less than the gross allowable production quantity, equilibrium state of the shallow layer water can be maintained and no adverse effect will be made to local water resource. Long term concentrating exploitation will even promote the circulation of shallow-layer groundwater and improve water quality in this layer, for example, decreasing the fluorine content and the degree of mineralization.

Because there is heavy layer of clay between deep-layer water and middle-layer water, extracting water from deep layer will not affect water of upper layers.

Suiping Water Supply Project

According to the plan, the water source will situates around Suicha road, west of the county. It takes water from the middle and deep layer, with a scale of water supply of 30,000m3 /d. According to the Verification Report of Water Resource, the replenishment scale is equivalent to the consumption scale, so a produced quantity of 30,000m3/d will maintain a dynamic equilibrium. A conclusion will then be drawn that water exploitation will produce no adverse effect on the resource. Long term concentrating exploitation will even promote the circulation of shallow-layer groundwater and improve water quality in this layer.

Runan Water Supplv Project

The water source locates in areas around Liulou of Dayangzhuang, northwest of the county, covering an area of 64.7km2 . It take water from the deep layer, with a scale of water supply of3O,000m3 /d. Tap water and self-dug wells extract a total quantity of 20000m3 /d, while the gross allowable produced quantity is 50185m3 /d. We can see that the existing amount of groundwater mining is far less than the allowable produced quantity; a dynamic equilibrium can be maintained. A conclusion will then be drawn that ground water exploitation will not affect the underground water resources. Because water has long been extracting from the deep layer, equilibrium of the ground water will then be reached after years of adjustment. To exploit water within allowable range will not cause ecology environmental disasters in production zone such as land subsidence clack of the earth and desertification.

(2) Possible wasting of water resources caused by water utilization

The concentration of water supply may lead to the consumer's wasting of water resource. there phenomena are commonly seen among public institutions and service industry units such as planting institutions street-watering institutions restaurants and hotels. Publicity should be made and policy and measures should be taken to supervise water saving in inspection district. Measures of water saving such as cycling use of water should be encouraged.

8.1.2 Impacts on aquatic and acoustic environment & handling of Solid Waste

Key pollutants in Water Supply Project are domestic wastewater, Solid Waste and noise. Besides, leakage from chlorination apparatus in water purification will pollute the air inside, affecting the health of the workers. Domestic wastewater is produced in daily life and everyday working of the personnel of water plants. Major

contaminations of the wastewater are SS (universal consistency 200mg/L), BOD5 (universal consistency 157 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 180mg/L), CODcr (universal consistency 300mg/L). Major Solid Wastes includes sedimentary sands and domestic garbage. For every subsidiary project has moderate scale, producing limited pollutants. Noise is mainly generated from machines of water pumps (source intensity varies from 80 to 95 dB). The machines are placed underground or semi-underground inside the industry buildings, producing hardly any noise to areas outside the workshops. In addition most water plants are far away from residential areas, so harassment of noise to residence will not be a problem. When it comes to the leakage of chlorine, the design paper of every water supply Sub-Project and environmental Impact Statement have put forward the plan of installing chlorine alarming device and flawless working specifications. Under these strict measures, the possibility of leakage is quite low. As a matter of fact, such technical measures are adopted in a lot of Water Supply Projects and have been prove effective.

With regard to the above-mentioned problems, environmental impact statement of every subproject has analyzed and predicted the discharge amount of the pollutants, and has put forward pollution prevention measurements.

The discharge amount of pollutants and the pollution prevention measures can be seen in 8-1.

164 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 8.1.3 Impacts on inhabitants' production and life

In the period of feasibility research, each sub-project underwent detailed argumentation to the local water resources. The water utilization of the project has few impact or small impact on the nearby farmland irrigation. In case of extremely arid year or successive arid year or arid period, the well irrigation and utilization of farmland might be impacted in short term to a certain degree. The following are the detailed analysis, taking the inspected sub-projects as examples.

Yivan2 Water Supply Project

The water source of this project is the Shuimantan Dam of Luohe River 4km from the county, with a water supply scale of 25 thousand m3/d.

Since 1990, the mean annual runoff of Luohe River is 916 million m3 (29m3 /s, the average of 11 years), fully meeting the requirement of the existing channels in this river reach (4.18m3 /s) and the planned water supply in the county (25,000 m3/d, i.e.0.29m3/s). Therefore, the water supply to the project will have no impact on the agricultural water utilization.

Songxian County Water Supply Project

The water source of this project is the flood plain on the lest bank of Yihe River which uses shallow-layer groundwater and has a water supply scale of 30,000 m3/d. Analysis of the position of water source wells, the conditions of water source supplement and the situation of water resource suggests that the gross production is less than the overall logistical demand, the well-water level of the center well is lower than controlled in this region and that the water from the feed water resource (Yihe River and Luhun Reservoir) has been guaranteed. Therefore, the water utilization of the project will have no impact on other water users.

Weishi Water Supplv Project

The water source of this project lie in the new administrative region of the county, which adopts the layer mining methods from the deep and shallow-layer groundwater and takes shallow wells as the primary source in rainy season while deep wells in arid season. The water supply scale is 35,000 m 3/d. Water users in water source production region and in the neighboring groundwater mainly include fertilizer plants, county's water works and agricultural well irrigation water.

1) The irrigation water of agricultural wells takes up more than 75% of the entire shallow-layer groundwater produced, followed by the produced industrial water. For the reason that the assessment area belongs to the rich water area and the regulating pondage is large---when the local water level descends, the water level setting level is a little more than 10 meters at most and is 1/3 of the regional magnitude of water carrier, the construction of the water works has few impact to the local agricultural ecology.

2) For the reason that the drainage of middle and deep-layer groundwater is industrial production mainly, the water utilization of the project will neither impact the agricultural water utilization.

Tongxu Water Supplv Project

The water source of this project selects the place which lies in the north of the county, the west side of Wohe River and 3km to the east of Tongkai Highway (Tongxu to Kaifeng). The project uses deep-layer groundwater, with a water supply scale of 35000m3/d. According to water level's dropdown prediction of the produced well and the calculation of the amount of supplement resource, the deep-layer groundwater has abundant supply guarantees. In addition, the deep-layer groundwater in Tongxu is slightly produced at present and the drainage of the deep-layer groundwater mainly depends on the groundwater runoffs and flows to the downstream smoothly. Therefore, the

165 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject water utilization of the project will not impact the normal use of agricultural water utilization and the existing produced wells in the county.

Lankao Water Supplv Proiect

The water source of this project selects at the junction of Lankao Collecting Channel and Lanshang Collecting Channel of Chengguan Township in the north west of the county, which adopts layer mining of the deep and shallow-layer groundwater, with a service discharge of 30,000m3/d.

1) In accordance with the hydrogeological condition in the assessment region, the deep-layer groundwater in this water source is the water-bearing groundwater with a production depth of 300-600m. The exploitation quantity of deep-layer water is 20,000 m3/d which takes up 66.4% of the total service discharge. The water is strictly stopped above 300m. The annual recharge capacity is in excess of the discharge capacity and there is not exploitation user in the water source field, so the construction of the new water works will have no impact on the water utilization of other users.

2) The exploitation quantity of this shallow-layer groundwater is 10,000m3/d. The argumentation and assessment of the water resource suggests that the interval between the water source wells is 400m with a small influence coefficient, and that the water source site lies in the Yellow River irrigation district which has a long distance from the village. Therefore, the newly-added 10,000 m3/d of the exploitation quantity will have no impact on well irrigation of the farmlands and water utilization of the villagers. And in case of extremely arid year or successive arid year or arid period, the well irrigation and utilization of farmland might be impacted in short term to a certain degree.

Suixian Water Supplv Project

The water source of this project lies in Weidikou area in the northeast of the county which uses the layer mining of deep and shallow-layer groundwater. The service discharge is 20,000 m3/d. Water users in water source production region and in the neighboring groundwater mainly include fertilizer plants, county's water works and agricultural well irrigation water.

1) When the Second Water Works is established, there will be two water works supplying water to the county's paper-making plant. Therefore, the construction of the water works will have no impact on the paper-making plant.

2) In an attempt to improve the water quality and enhance the management of groundwater resources, measures such as sealing, stopping and purchasing self-prepared wells will be adopted and the water supply will be changed from by units' self-prepared wells to by the running water. Therefore, the construction of the water works will have no impact on the other self-prepared well users.

3) When the exploitation quantity of shallow-layer groundwater is l0,000m 3/d, this water can reach dynamic balance through years of isostatic adjustment. The interval between the shallow well is more than lOOOm with small influence coefficient, and the water source site lies in Yellow River irrigation district where the wells and channels are combined and the shallow-layer water can be replenished. Therefore, general analysis suggests that shallow-layer exploitation quantity of 10,000m 3/d will have no impact on the farmlands well irrigation. And in case of extremely arid year or successive arid year or arid period, the well irrigation and utilization of farmland might be impacted in short term to a certain degree.

The water source of this project locates in Suicha Road area in the west of the county. It takes middle and deep-layer water as the source and has a water supply scale of 30,000m3/d. At present, the water users in water 166 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject source production region and in the neighboring groundwater mainly include county's water works, self-prepared well water supply and part of the agricultural well irrigation water.

1) In an attempt to improve the water quality and enhance the management of groundwater resources, measures such as sealing, stopping and purchasing self-prepared wells will be adopted and the water supply will be changed from by units' self-prepared wells to by the running water. Therefore, the construction of the water works will have no impact on the other self-prepared well users.

2) For the reason that the newly-established plant lies in the Class I rich water area, the groundwater storage is abundant, the agricultural well irrigation and the exploitation quantity is small, the plant will have no impact on the agricultural well irrigation.

Runan Water Supply Project

The water source of this project locates in Dayangzhuang and Liulou area in the northwest of the county. It takes deep-layer water as the source and has a water supply scale of 30,000m 3/d. At present, the water users in water source production region and in the neighboring groundwater mainly include county's water works, self-prepared well water supply and part of the agricultural well irrigation water.

1) In an attempt to improve the water quality and enhance the management of groundwater resources, measures such as sealing, stopping and purchasing self-prepared wells will be adopted and the water supply will be changed from by units' self-prepared wells to by the running water. Therefore, the construction of the water works will have no impact on the other self-prepared well users.

2) This water source groundwater can reach dynamic balance through years of isostatic adjustment. The interval between the shallow well is around 800m with small influence coefficient, and the exploitation quantity of farmland well irrigation in the exploitation area is small Therefore, the exploitation of the water source site will have no impact on the water utilization of farmlands irrigation.

In accordance with the state's relative laws, the ownership of the water resource (including surface water and ground water) inside the PRC belongs to the state and department of water administration will exert the management right to the water resource on behalf of the state. When exploiting and using the water resource, the enterprises should appeal to the department of water administration and start the project upon approval. The department of water administration will carry on macro-management to the water resource and distribute and control the water according to the total quantity. Therefore, department of water administration should comprehensively take into consideration of the impact the project might have on the other water users in the course of inspection and the approval will indicate that the water utilization plan of the project is within the normal impact scope to the other users. The 'Water Resources Argumentations' of these projects have all been approved by Henan Ministry of Water Resources.

From the specific situations, Yiyang, Songxian County and Yuanyang basically have no impact on the other users thanks to its abundant water resources; the water source sits in plain area are all farmlands and villages, the groundwater is mainly the local farmers' domestic and irrigation water mostly from the shallow-layer water within 30m. Projects (in Tongxu, Taikang County, Suiping, Runan ) which use middle and deep-layer groundwater have small impact on the shallow-layer groundwater level and the farmers' water utilization due to the intercept of confining layer; in plain area, the projects (in Weishi ,Lankao and Suixian) which use shallow-layer groundwater have comparatively large impact on the ground water elevation and will bring about some impacts on the production of villagers. Measures that should be taken are described in the above section.

Based on the site survey, farmers living near the water source site directly pump the ground water for drinking purpose and don't carry out any treatment. The water quality is poor and is harmful to the people's health. And by 167 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the time the running water project completes, farmers are generally willing to drink this water. This measure, as a method worth popularizing, not only eliminates the bad impact of the project on the inhabitant water utilization, but also is good to the crowd health. 8.1.4 Impacts on land utilization

The permanent land occupations of the project are mainly water purification plants and water intake structures. The water conduits are deep buried underground and only a small number of projects construct the conduits on the surface and will resume the original ground surface after the construction, which will have no reference to the land occupation. The distributing water pipes are also deep buried underground and have no reference to the land occupation either.

The total area of the water purification plant is generally around 14-40 mu (except Dengzhou plant, of which the plant area is 71 mu). The lands occupied are mainly farmlands protected by the state basically and also a part of projects occupy barren land. In the water intake work, the land occupancy isl-8 mu (except Fengqiu county, of which water intake work area is 18 mu). As to the situation of permanent land occupation of each sub-project, see Table 2-6 & 2-7.

Permanent land occupation will reduce farmland resource, and cause loss to farmland of local villagers. Refer to RAP, land occupation of water plant and water intake are 0.28 mu and 0.21 mu, respectively (permanent land occupation summary refer to table 2-6 and change of farmland per capita refer to table 8-2). Due to abundant farmland resource, the loss in farmland due to water plant and water intake are 2.71% & 0.29%, respectively. Impact on local agriculture production and income due to permanent land occupation is very small. Resettlement subsidary is about 7-10 times of the average agriculture production value (3 years ago), so the loss of villagers will be effectively compensated.

The farmland occupied by the water purification plants are all locate at the junction of the towns in the county or in the new districts planned by the county. Based on the perspective of the planning and development of the county, the lands occupied belong to the new district planned by the county. At present, all the counties start the construction of new districts, with most new districts having already constructed traffic infrastructure and part of the new districts having completed and put into practice of the office building and inhabited area. The land occupations of the sub-projects have all acquired license from the local land administration departments and been brought into the planning of the entire county, which has small impact on the land utilization in the local place.

The water well occupations are generally the outskirt farmlands. And the wells are comparatively scattered and the single water well occupies a very small area. For the reason that the local farmlands resources are abundant and the land compensating measures are well performed, the land occupation has small impact on thmland resources and farmer's production and life.

168 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 8.1.5 Impacts on wastewater increase The water supply project of a big group of medium and small cities enhances the development of the cities. While the city scale is speeding up, the discharge amount of domestic wastewater will also increase. Since all water supply subprojects will supply drinking water for domestic use as major demand, hence the rivers will be worse polluted in the future if there is no relative wastewater treatment, especially when the projects lie in the Yellow River and Huai River area where the pollution is serious at present. The development and the environmental protection are two important aspects facing the whole nation which must be settled properly and reasonably.

Except Xinyang City, the 37 counties involving in this project have no wastewater treatment plant. According to the site survey to the 9 counties, domestic wastewater of the counties is all directly discharged into the river nearby, especially in plain areas where the population is large and the stream flow is insufficient, the pollution of rivers is serious.

In order to speed up the construction of wastewater treatment plant, the provincial government in Henan Province printed on April 23d , 2003, the Notice to Enhance the Levy on the City Wastewater Treatment Fees and to Pronmote the Development of City Wastewater Treatment Industry, increasing the levying standard of city wastewater treatment to an average of 0.70 Y/m3 and providing the policy guarantee for the city to speed up the construction and normal operation of the wastewater treatment plant and to set up the market operation system for the wastewater treatment plant. In the meantime, the Decision of CPC Commission of Henan Province, the People's Governnent of Henan Province on Speeding up the Urbanization requires each county to set up domestic wastewater treatment plant and house refuse disposal plant by the end of 2007, providing policy guarantee to the further enhancement of pollution prevention in cities.

At present, the counties of this water supply project are undergoing the prophase work of wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater treatment scale is the same with that of the city water utilization and the operation progress keeps in basic steps with the water supply project. Among the 37 counties (cities and districts) involved in this project, 36 counties who have no wastewater treatment plant are all planning to construct the wastewater treatment plant and have already completed the research report on feasibility. As long as the condition is normal, the wastewater in cities will get an effective control in the future. As to the construction and fund preparation, refer to Table 8-3.

There are environmental risks potentially existing in the water supply project: one is the chlorine leakage in the course of water purification, the other is accidental contamination occupied in the surface water source site. In case of the occurrence of the above-mentioned accidents, the crowd health and life of the inhabitants in the water supply project area will be seriously threatened.

The water works generally adopt the liquid chlorine decontamination in the course of water purification and have the potential risks of chlorine leakage. The chlorine is a kind of noxious gas, and in case of the leakage accident, it will throw great impact and hazard on human beings, animals and plants in the local environment in a short time. According to 'The Research Report on Feasibility' of each water supply project, each project attaches great importance to this problem and introduces a complete set of measures from detection, alarm to the settlement. Full automatic chlorization devices are installed in the workshop, which would automatically close the chlorine cylinders system in case leakage took place in any pipe. Chlorine detection and alarm devices installed in the chlorization room will timely give the alarm and make sure to timely carry out disposition measures when the chlorine concentration in the workshop exceeds 1mg/m 3 . Spray system, accident pools and forced draft ventilation are installed in the chlorization room, which, in case of leakage accident, will make a timely combination with chlorine and water and generate HIC for the delivery outside the room, and timely push the chlorine bottles into the accident pools with lime water, being able to prevent the intoxication accident. According to the experience of other existing project, with the above perfect and strong operational preventing facilities and measures, the chance for the leakage accident is extremely slight; and even when the accident occurs, it will bring about no harm.

172 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject For the water supply projects, which take the surface water as the source site, especially those projects taking the river course as the source site (for example: Yiyang), potential risks of accidental contamination exist. For instance, when accidents happened on vehicles carrying the chemicals along the road or the tributary of the upstream of the river, the pollutant chemicals will be drained into the river; the accidental wastewater discharging from the upstream enterprises and so on. As a matter of fact, cyanide pollution accident once happened on the upstream of Luohe River in November 2001, and aiming at decontamination, a large amount of calcium lime was thrown and sprayed into the river, which had all brought about pollution to the rivers. However, the occurrence of this accidental contamination has slight possibility. In order to deal with this kind of contamination accident, the accident timely reporting system should be set up. And the emergency disposition measures should be set up prior to the setting of Automatic Water Quality Monitoring System (for example, to timely stop water intake from the river course and start the standby system groundwater intake). 8.2 Impacts of the Wastewater Treatment Project on Environment 8.2.1 Impacts of the discharge of wastewater on aquatic environment

Wastewater discharged from wastewater treatment plants is produced in the process of wastewater treatment. Besides, wastewater treatment plants will also bring out some sanitary wastewater, which is mainly produced by the personnel of office and management, and this wastewater will be treated together with raw wastewater in wastewater treatment system. After the treatment, if the water reaches the discharge standard, it will be discharged.

After the treatment, wastewater treatment plants will discharge water into water areas. Some of the water will be used in farm drainage, and bring apparent benefit in improving local water environment. In the process of the

wastewater treatment project, prediction of the reduction of key pollutants is as follows: COD, 14856t/a; BOD5 , 8906t/a; SS, 8523 t/a; and NH3, 894t/a. The details of the reduction of each sub-project see Table 8-4, and the details of output-water quality index see Table 8-5.

Reduction situation of the pollutant discharge of the planned wastewater treatment plant sees Table 8-. The water quality of output water (tail water) is fit for the second-level standard of Water Quality Standard for Farm Irrigation (GB5083-92). The project locates at the water-deficient area, and the environmental assessment account suggests irrigating farmland by tail water. But farm irrigation is seasonal, and its use is limited, so that there will be a lot of water being discharged into Chan River (water quality domain is classified as type III). Environmental assessment account of the project also makes prediction analysis to the influence under the situation that tail water was all discharged into Chan River (the worst situation). In such situation, it analyzes the influence to the water quality of Chan River, and the influence to the soil and underground water in that area.

Considering that treated effluent is all discharged into Chan River, and taking balance equation, it calculates separately the density of key pollutants CODcr in the water at 2km downstream of the discharge of the planned wastewater treatment plant. In the prediction, according to the monitoring data of Chan River now, with the consideration of injection of Zhonghou River water between section and discharge, it calculate the comprehensive

decate coefficient of CODcr as 0.31 d-1. The density of CODC, and BOD5 in section 1# are taken as the density of the output water of WWTP. And the results show that the density of CODcr in section 2# is 18.83mg/L, reducing 55.7% in comparison with the existing. Water quality in section 2# (controlled by city government) apparently improves in comparison with the exisiting. This is fit for Standard III of Environmental quality standardfor surface water (GB3838-2002). Because tail water discharged from wastewater treatment plant can be used in irrigation, greening, splashing road and municipal use, the quantity of tail water discharged into Chan River will be reduced more. As a result, the project has apparent environment benefit.

Chan River can replenish underground water. There are three water resources in Mengjin. They are Liyao resource (two deep wells, with 850-meter well spacing and daily water supply ability of 3000m 3/d), urban-area resource (two deep wells, with 1500-meter well spacing and daily water supply ability of 2000m 3/d), and Sihenan resource (five deep wells, with 500-meter well spacing and daily water supply ability of 6000m 3 /d). Well 4# of Sihenan resource, which is 150 meters deep, is the nearest water resource to the planned wastewater treatment plant. The distance between them is 1.8 kilometers. At present, in water resource area, a pumping cone with an area of 4.5 squire kilometers has appeared. And its center is in Liyao, the center of Sihenan well group, which is 2.8 kilometers away from the planned wastewater treatment plant. This means that the plant is not in the scope of the pumping cone. At the same time, wastewater treatment plant lies in the downstream of the county underground water, so that the tail water of wastewater treatment plant will not pollute the underground water resource.

(2) Songxian County Wastewater Treatment Project

The wastewater of this project performs the second level standard of Discharge standard of pollutants for

175 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject municipal wastewater treatmentplant, and its receiving body of water is Luhun reservoir. Taking the calculation 3 of 30000 m /d treatment capacity, COD and NH3-N finally drained into Luhun reservoir are separately 657t/a and 87.6t/a. Control marks of total quantity of wastewater given by Songxian County Environmental Protection

Bureau are: COD, 1210t/a; NH3 -N, 220t/a. Total quantity of pollutant that wastewater plant discharges into Luhun reservoir is less than the control mark. They are separately taking the ratio of 54% and 40% of the control mark. As a result, the construction of Songxian County wastewater treatment plant leaves much space for the control mark of pollutant in the area.

(3) Baofeng Wastewater Treatment Project

The wastewater of this project performs the first level standard B of Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant, and its receiving body of water is Jingchang River (water quality domain is classified as type IV). Treatment technology of the project can make the removal rate of COD in the water reach more than 83%, removal rate of BOD5 reach more than 89%, removal rate of SS reach more than 90%, removal rate of NH3 -N reach 75%, and removal rate of TP reach 50%. Environmental assessment account of the project takes COD, BOD5 and NH3 -N as main polluting factor. Adapting S-P model, and taking Zhouzhuang section 4 kilometers downstream of the blowdown tap of the planned wastewater treatment plant as the prediction section, the account predict the influence that this project will make toward the receiving body of water. In predication, making use of the actual data of water quality, it confirms the attenuation coefficient of COD, BOD5 and NH3-N separately as 0.3, 0.3 and 0.5 d-'. The result shows that cpmparing with no WWTP, the concentration of COD in predictive section can be reduced from 32.2mg/L to 13.0mg/L while WWTP operates. And the concentration of

BOD5 in predictive section can be reduced from 17.5mg/L to 4.2mg/L. The concentration of NH3-N in predictive section can be reduced from 5.2mg/L to 1.5mg/L. Those main polluting factor can all meet the standard. As a result, after the operation of the project, density of the pollutant in Jingchang River will reduce a lot. It will make great influence to the improvement of water quality.

(4) Yuanyang Wastewater Treatment Project

The wastewater of this project performs the first level standard of Disclharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant, its final receiving body of water is Wenyan Trench, and water quality domain is classified as type V.

By making use of the on-hand monitoring result to correct parameter, environmental assessment account of the sub-project adopts the recommended output water quality density (the density of COD and NH3-N are separately 78.7mg/L and 11.8mg/L, which is higher than the actual output water quality density), to predict the water quality of the border section of Yuanyang (Anlezhuang) during the operation of the project. According to The Section Requirement of Target Control in Xinxiang City Boundary Line (2005), the water quality control requirement of this boundary section is 60mg/L of COD. The prediction shows that the density of COD and NH 3-N of this section are separately 53.8mg/L and 7.3mg/L, satisfying the control object.

(5) Huangehuan Wastewater Treatment Project

The wastewater of this project performs the second level standard of Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant, and its receiving body of water is Huang River. After the operation of the project, the reduction rate of main pollutants --- COD, BOD 5, NH3-N, and SS --- will be over 80%. Water quality of Huang River will be apparently improved.

3.2.2 Impacts of the sludge on soil and aquatic environment

The sludge of wastewater plant mainly comes from sand basin, bar rack room, and sedimentation basin. Among them, screenings and sediment belong to ordinary solid waste, and each project treats them together with 176 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject household garbage. According to DischargeStandard for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant, all wastewater treatment plants deal with the sludge in concentration, mechanical dehydration and stabilizing treatment, making its water content under the rate of 80%, and making its stabilization control index satisfy the standard.

According to the prediction analysis about sludge composition made by environment assessment account of each sub-project, sludge belongs to ordinary solid waste, with very low content of heavy metal, satisfying Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agriculture Use (GB4284-84)(See Table 8-6). General speaking, after stabilization of each sub-project, sludge will be carried to special garbage disposal plant. All garbage disposal plants are in commercial operation, with good environmental protection measures and management systems. Their influence to the environment is under control.

Temporary storage of sludge in plant site will also influence surrounding environment, mainly manifesting as odor nuisance, running out when it rains and etc., which will pollute ambient air quality, surface water, underground water and so on. Each sub-project has carried out related protection measure.

Data of standard limit 500 1000 1000 20 1000 75 15

The analysis of the influence to the sludge made by each sub-project:

(1) Mengjin Wastewater Treatment Project

In the operation of the wastewater treatment plant, sand basin, bar rack room, and sedimentation basin will produce screenings, sediment, excess sludge and etc., among which quantity of screenings is Itld, quantity of sediment is lt/d, and quantity of excess sludge is l4t/d. Among them, screenings and sediment belong to ordinary solid waste, and are usually carried to and stored in garbage disposal plant. Excess sludge is carried to the first Luoyang City garbage disposal plant, which locates at Chaoyang Town that is outside planned urban area of Mengjin. This garbage disposal plant innocently treats household garbage in terms of standard mode of sanitary landfill, with design of daily treatment quantity of 1200t. This garbage disposal plant has already agreed to receive project sludge.

This wastewater treatment plant has temporary storage yard for sludge. The yard locates at the west of the plant site, occupies an area of 96 squire meters, and has a sludge capacity of 10 days' production. As a result, the environmental assessment standard requires that sludge dwell time cannot go beyond 10 days. And according to national regulations, it is need to adopt necessary protection measures.

(2) Songxian County Wastewater Treatment Project

In the operation of the wastewater treatment plant, screenings, sediment, and excess sludge will be produced. In prediction, quantity of screenings is l.5t/d, and its water content is 20%; quantity of sediment is 1.5t/d, and its water content is 60%; quantity of excess sludge is 24.2t/d, and its water quantity is 80%. According to the findings of metallic element discharge condition of the same kind sludge produced by wastewater treatment plant, excess sludge belongs to ordinary solid waste, so that it is planned to be buried in Mengcun Village garbage disposal plant.

This wastewater treatment plant has temporary storage yard for sludge. The environmental assessment standard requires that sludge dwell time cannot go beyond 10 days. And according to national regulations, it is need to adopt necessary protection measures.

(3) Baofeng Wastewater Treatment Project 177 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Major solid waste of wastewater treatment plant comes from the excess sludge of sedimentation basin, and its production is 806.5t/a. After the treatment of stress relieving, the sludge will be carried to bury in Baofeng garbage disposal plant. This plant locates at 1,000 meters east of Southwest Tangwa Village, Baofeng, and the nearest village, Huiyao Village, is 2,000 meters away. This plant makes use of the foundation of the abandoned railway of Pingdingshan Coal Group railway transportation apartment. Its measures of protection are almost integrity. Because sludge made by this project has a high water patent (80%), environment assessment account puts forward that it is need to perform measures to dry protection of this garbage disposal plant, to perform anti seepage treatment to the underground and side wall, and to cover the sludge with a layer of loess formation (suggest it is thicker than 0.5 meters) after the bury to prevent the odor pollution.

(4) Yuanyang Wastewater Treatment Project

In the operation of the wastewater treatment plant, solid wastes that are produced are sediment, garbage and excess sludge, which are separately created in aerated grit chamber, bar rack and thin rack, and secondary sedimentation basin. According to investigation of urban area pollution source of Yuanyang, there is no heavy metal element and etc. in urban area wastewater, so that it is ensured that excess sludge of this project is ordinary solid waste. And the details of the production of solid waste are as follows: bar rack rabbish is 620t/a; sentiment is 470t/a; excess sludge is 1080t/a. All above solid waste are carried to bury in Yuanyang garbage disposal plant, and the garbage disposal plant has already agreed to receive project sludge.

(5) Huangchuan Wastewater Treatment Project

In the operation of the wastewater treatment plant, quantity of screenings is 1.9t/d, quantity of sediment is 0.9t/d, and quantity of excess sludge is 18t/d.

Recommend to conduct analysis on the sludge composition during construction, to determine if the sludge is regarded as normal waste. If so, then the sludge could be disposed by normal measures (dispose to landfill or use as filling material for road work). If the sludge is identified as hazardous waste after analysis, sludge shall be treated according to relevant hazardous waste disposal measures imposed by state regulation (refer to Chapter 9 for the disposal measures). 8.2.3 Impacts on acoustic and air quality

Impacts on ambient air quality in the process of wastewater treatment project mainly come from odor pollutants (ammonia gas, hepatic gas and so on), which are produced in the processes of concentration and dehydration in catcher frame and sand basin, temporary storage and transportation of sludge. In period of site selection of wastewater treatment plants, problems, such as wind direction, width of sanitary protection zone, sensitive spot and so on, have already been considered, so that according to the prediction result of environment assessment account of each sub-project, the odor inside the area of wastewater treatment plants almost does not influence the environment outside these plants. However, in the process of transportation, the odor of sludge will perform some influence to the environment along the transportation line, and if there is some leakage, it will also influence the clean of street. As a result, it is need to strengthen the management of transportation, and to carry out reasonable transportation lines.

Impacts on acoustic environment in the process of wastewater treatment project mainly come from the operation of high-noise equipment, such as air blower, submersible wastewater pump, air pump, sludge pump, aerator and so on. The source intensity of these high-noise equipment is usually 75-85dB (A). After choosing low-noise equipment, and adopting measures of noise elimination, vibration reduction, room sound insulation and so on, noise effect of each sub-project will reduce near to 20Db (A). According to the prediction result of environmental assessment account, noise at boundary of plants (data of day and night) satisfies Standard of noise at boundary of

However, in operation room, odor and noise will greatly influence operators, so that it is need to strengthen labor insurance for operators.

The details of impacts on ambient air and acoustic environment quality in the process of each sub-project see Table 8-7.

180 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 8.2.4 Impacts on land utilization

Major permanent occupation of land of the project is the wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater collection pipe net is buried under the ground. After the completion of the project, the earth surface will recover, which is no reference to the occupation of land.

Generally speaking, wastewater treatment plant will occupy a land of 40 mu. The types of the occupied land are mainly basic farmland protected by the nation, and some of them are wild land. The farmlands occupied by the plant are similar to those of the water supply project. The lands locate at the boundary land between two counties, and are inside newly built urban districts that the counties are planning. These occupations will reduce the farmland resources, and will have some influence to the production and the lives of farmers. Refer to RAP, due to land occupation of wastewater plant, farmland per capita before land resumption is 0.28 mu and farmland per capita after land resumption is 0.21 mu. The loss in farmland per captia due to wastewater plant land occupation is 0.3 mu (permanent land occupation summary refer to table 2-7 and change of farmland per capita refer to table 8-8), only cause loss in farmland 1.92%. Impact on local agriculture production and income due to permanent land occupation is very small. Based on the county development plan, the occupied lands all belong to newly built urban districts that the counties are planning. At present, counties have already begun to build new urban district. Most of the urban districts have already built traffic infrastructure, and in some newly built urban districts, department and office building, residential area and so on have been built and come into use. Sub-projects have already got the permission of the local land administrative department, which have already been designed in the whole construction plan of counties, so that they will just influence a little to local land usage.

Among all projects, only Mengjin Wastewater Treatment Project need to occupy some farmers' house sites, and they need to move away. It will occupy a building area of 2,300 squire meters. There will be 23 families (92 person) need to remove, and they are all villagers from Niubu Village. The project plans to emplace afterward, solving the removing problem inside the village. As a result, these farmers' living habit will not be influenced, and production will not be greatly influenced. Management apartment of remove should together with the local Village resolve the remove problem of the villagers, improving their living standard.

Details of permanent occupation of land of each wastewater treatment sub-project see Table 8-8.

8.2.5 Impacts on crowd's health (environmental risk analysis)

Potential environment risk of wastewater treatment project mainly comes from the following aspects: 1) power off incident influence, 2) equipment failure influence, 3) chlorine leakage influence, 4) rainstorm influence, 5) flood influence. Among them chlorine leakage influence is the same with water supply project that each wastewater treatment plant has planned to perform related measures. Here, we do not give unnecessary details again.

If there is a power off accident, the process will stop supplying oxygen. Microorganism will die. Technological process will be destroyed. The recovery process (bring up microorganism) will need a long time. And in this period, the discharge of untreated wastewater will pollute the environment. In order to ensure the safety in utilizing electric energy of wastewater treatment plants, each sub-project's power supply system adopts two sets of double circle Standby Power Supply to supply power, ensuring the continuity of the power supply.

181 Environment Impact Assesnient Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject In engineering design, the project made equipment backups, accidental storage pool and so on, ensuring normal operation of the entire wastewater treatment system when a single structure has accident.

Some projects' drainage systems adapt combined system of rain and wastewater, such as Neixiang County project. In wastewater collection pipe, the project established overflow well. In rainstorm, extra rain will be discharged away by overflow well. As a result, it will not influence treatment capacity of the plant, ensuring its normal operation during the rainstorm.

Some projects locate at low hypsography areas. For example, Neijiang County Wastewater Treatment Plant is planned to build at the west bank of Tuan River. Tuan River is the major disaster river in the county, and its flood control capacity is designed for the biggest flood that may happen in 50 years. The standard height of the planned wastewater treatment plant is above the level that may reach in 50 years. And in the project plan, the design of flood prevention and water drainage is considered to ensure that the flood will not be harmful for the wastewater treatment plant. 8.3 Impacts of the External Environment on the Project 8.3.1 Analysis on the potential pollution source of the water source & water source protection for WSP

The safety of drinking water is an event concerning human health, economy and society. Therefore, the conservation of water sources during the operating period of each water supply sub-project is very important. Among the 32 water supply sub-projects with water sources, 7 sub-projects have surface water sources and the other 25 have ground water sources.

For the projects with surface water sources, the water quality is more likely to be influenced by the external environment. For example, Yiyang Water Supply Project, Mengzhou Water Supply Project and Xichuan Water Supply Project, whose water sources are the rivers, the water source quality is more likely to be polluted by the upstream gathering ground; and Dengzhou County Water Supply Project, Baofeng Water Supply Project, Lushan Water Supply Project, Water Supply Project in Minggang Town, Pingqiao District, Xinyang City, and Queshan Water Supply Project, whose water sources are the reservoirs, the water source quality is very likely to be polluted by the gathering ground around the reservoirs. In terms of the geographic locations of each sub-project, the water source is often the countryside or mountain area located at the upstream of the county and there is no industrial pollution source around or near the upstream. At present the water quality in the waters is fine and the pollution source is mainly non-point pollution of the farmland vegetation; there are some villages around part of the projects' locations, thus having an impact on the domestic wastewater discharged by the villagers. But the above aspects don't have much influence on the status quo of the water body quality.

The projects with ground water sources are mainly located in the plain regions. For the projects with shallow-layer groundwater sources (such as Mengjin Water Supply Project, Weishi Water Supply Project, and Lankao Water Supply Project), the water source is likely to be polluted due to human activities on the earth. At present, the water source is still distant from the county, and at the upstream of the flow direction of ground water. All the surface lands are fine farmlands. There is no industrial pollution source near the water source. The water source quality is good, and the major pollution sources are fertilizers and pesticides, etc. The water quality of the projects with deep-layer groundwater sources is fine and usually unpolluted.

The water source quality of each sub-project is fine at present, and there are no serious pollution sources with large amount of discharge. However, most of the projects are located at the boarders of the counties' planning area, and the cities and their economy are quickly developing. With the expansion of future cities, if we don't limit the utilization of the land near the water head sources and the upstream areas, or if we don't protect the water source

182

l Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject quality, the domestic waste of city dwellers and the pollution discharge of the enterprises will become potential pollution source of the water source, and the water source quality cannot be guaranteed. Once the water body especially the ground water is polluted, it is hard to be treated or restored. Therefore, we must nip in the bud, and adopt operable measures. The protection of water source is a problem to be solved by each sub-project. It is the key point and also an operable measure to establish a water source conservation zone according to relative laws, legislations and administrative measures of our country as well as the development program of each city or county. In terms of the development program of the counties, the industrial planning area of the county where each water supply project is located often lies at the downstream of the water source. Therefore, potential threat of future industrial pollution doesn't exist for the water source of each project.

At present, among the sub-projects with water sources, the water source of 4 sub-projects have been classified as water source conservation zone, and have adopted corresponding protective measures.

For example, the water source of Xichuan Water Supply Project is Laoguan River, which is also the water source of Danjiangkou Reservoir-- the water source of the Middle Route of South-north Water Transfer Project. To guarantee the safety of the water quality of the water source of the Middle Route of South-north Water Transfer Project, our country classified Laoguan River Basin as the Danjiangkou water source conservation zone in 2003 and at the same time, finished series of development programs such as water quality protection, ecological functions protection, the industrial structural readjustment and clean production. In 2003, Henan provincial government issued the Executive Plan for Liquidating or Reorganizing Enterprises for Illegally Discharging Wastewater, andfor the Prevention and Treatment of Water Pollution in the Huanghe River Basin as well as Water Quality Conservation of the Water source of the Middle Route of South-north Water Transfer Project. The enterprises out of line with national industrial policies should be closed down, suspended, merged with others or shifted to different line of production. In 2004, the examination and approval of the construction items discharging wastewater in the water source region strictly adopts the system of reporting to the environmental protection department at the next higher level. The Wastewater Disposal Plants and the Garbage Disposal Plants in Xichuan and in Xixia County have already finished the preliminary-stage construction. They have finished the ecological functional conservation zone program of the water source of the Middle Route of South-north Water Transfer Project. And they strengthened ecological protection, comprehensively prevented and treated non-point pollution; constructed a water quality automatic monitoring station in the main tributaries flowing into the Danjiang Reservoir and established a dynamic water quality automatic monitoring network; strengthened monitoring, supervision and detection of key enterprises discharging wastewater and issued the discharging conditions of the pollution sources periodically; established the early-warning system of water source quality and the system for emergency disposal of serious pollution; and defined the responsibilities of local chief administrators and performed the system of inquiring the responsibilities.

In addition, Hongshiju Reservoir-the water source of Pingqiao District, Minggang Town, Water Supply Project, Boshan (lake) Reservoir-the water source of Queshan Water Supply Project, and Longxingsi (Temple) Reservoir-the water source of Baofeng Water Supply Project have been classified as the drinking water source conservation zones. However, the water source of the other 4 projects with surface water sources haven't been classified as drinking water source conservation zones by the present. For example, Yiyang Water Supply Project directly transfers water from Luohe River. The upper courses are mainly mountains with little population. Besides, Guxian County Reservoir (91km of the upstream) has regulation and cleanup effect. But there are many farmlands on both sides of the upstream reaches of the water catchment, therefore, the rain season will cause fertilizers and chemicals loss and impact the water quality of the riverway, thus becoming the potential pollution source. At present, the water source of the planned projects haven't been classified as conservation zones. To protect the water catchment quality, it is suggested to set up water source conservation zones at the upstream of the water catchment to strictly limit human activities. 183 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject Analysis on potential pollution source of the water source for the sub-projects with ground water sources, and the status quo of water source conservation zones are illustrated with Table 8-9.

For the projects with ground water as the water source in plat regions, most of the water source haven't been classified as water source conservation zones and adopted corresponding management methods. As the water source are to be built at the boarders of the county's planning area, human activities on the earth might cause pollution to the ground water, especially shallow-layer groundwater, with the expansion of cities. Thus, we should set up water source conservation zones and promote protection and management according to relative laws and legislations of the country.

In 2003, Henan provincial government worked out and began to execute Henan Province Ground Water Protection Blueprint because of the more acute contradiction between the supply and demand of water sources and the more serious ground water overdraft problem caused by irrational development and exploitation as well as the fact that the ground water is gradually being polluted. The total investment for the blueprint is 3.44 billion RMB. It's sketched out to adopt 69 project or non-project measures and select the 8 representative cities (including Xinxiang, Hebi, Anyang, Puyang, Jiaozuo, Jiyuan, Xuchang and Shangqiu ) as the practicing areas, and through water saving, rain and flood utilization, wastewater treatment and reclamation, the joint operation system of ground and surface water, the construction and restoration of city aquatic ecology, and the promotion of unified management of water sources, smooth the management systems, set up a sound policy and legislation system, the adjustment of water prices and other comprehensive measures and realize the following goals by the year 2010: 1) closing and stopping 1200 self-provided wells in the deep-layer groundwater overdraft region of the city; reducing the yield of middle and deep-layer ground water by 0.45 billion m3 and increasing the water level by 5 -10 meters; conducting comprehensive treatment on the rivers and lakes of the city to obviously improve the aquatic ecological environment of the city. 2) By the end of 2010, increasing the ground water level by 5 meters in the overdraft shallow-layer groundwater region in the north of Huanghe River, and increasing the ground water level by 4 meters in the overdraft region in the south of Huanghe River; realizing a balance between the exploitation and supply of the ground water; 3) Establishing Hebiqi River water source conservation zone, Xinxiang Baiquan, Anyang Xiaonanhaiquancheng conservation zone, and Xinxiang Huanghe River marsh and wetland conservation zone. 4) After South-North Water Transfer Project begins to transfer water, realizing rational arrangement of water resources and eliminating the overdraft of ground water, thus effectively harnessing the ecological and environmental disasters caused by ground water overdraft.

The location counties of the sub-projects should classify the water source conservation zones in unification and coordination and protect the dynamic balance of water resources according to the Stipulations on the Management and Pollution Prevention of Drinking Water Source Conservation Zone as well as the overall development program of the county as well as Henan Province GroundwaterProtection Blueprint.

Suggestions on the classification of water source conservation zones and abstract measures for water quality protection are to be seen in Chapter 9, Environmental Management.

After parts of the counties have built new wells, the wells of the former waterworks will be abandoned, and many counties stipulate that self-provided wells should be closed successively. The abandoned wells, if not treated or protected, or opened freely, might be polluted by the outside world, and further pollute the ground water quality. For the projects with shallow-layer groundwater sources, much more potential pollution exists. Therefore, necessary encapsulation measures must be taken to the abandoned wells (To see detailed measures in Chapter 9). If the former self-provided wells are to be kept for backup, routine maintenance and management must be strengthened to prevent the wells being damaged or polluted. 8.3.3 Natural disaster risk analysis

As introduced in the general situation of the environment, in the plain regions in the eastern and southeastern part of Henan Province, the land is plane and the concentration of channel moves quickly. In addition, because it is located in the south-north climate transition zone, the monsoon has a strong impact and the rainfall is uneven both in time and space, and the flooding disasters are very frequent. For example, in Zhumadian City and Luohe City and etc., large-scale floods once took place in the history and caused serious damages. There is a big risk of impacting the water supply when flood takes place in these regions. Therefore, during the flood season, the project management organizations should mater in time local weather, rainfall, hydrology, and flood situation, work out emergency treatment plans, establish emergency precaution facilities etc., to ensure that measures be taken in time and that the losses and damages be reduced to the least extent once risks take place.

187 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 9 Environmental Management

9.1 Environmental Management Institutions 9.1.1 Management objectives

Environmental protection management is one of the most important components of project management, and also the key point for effectively carrying out environmental protection. The general environmental management goals of the project are as follows:

* Ensuring that the project meets with the demand of environmental protection laws;

* Fully exerting the potential efficiency of the project with appropriate investment on environmental protection;

* Ensuring that the unfavorable impacts affirmed in the EIA report be efficiently released or eliminated;

* Realizing the environmental efficiency of the construction project and the unification of social efficiency and economic efficiency. 9.1.2 Working range

* Making sure that all of the rational environmental protection measures presented in the EIA report are brought into the end-state plans of the project, including contracts, documentations, construction programs and technical specifications;

* While signing an agreement with the contractor, stipulating that the contractor's responsibilities and obligations on environmental protection of the project (with the EIA report and the environmental management plan of the project as the technical bases), and writing them into the contract;

* Entrusting relative organizations to carry out environmental monitoring and supervision during the construction period;

* After the project is finished, conducting a test run or other tests to make sure that the environmental protection measures have been or are going to be brought into effect;

* During the operating period, conducting environmental management, monitoring, summary and report to make sure that the operation of the project accord with all of the environmental protection measures, and also attaching much importance to information feedback, distinguishing and correcting the remained problems on any occasion;

* Properly dealing with the problems found in the course of supervision;

* Guiding and supervising the EIA work for those sub-projects that haven't finished the EIA reports (with the EIA report and the environmental management plan of the project as the technical bases). 9.1.3 Structural establishment

Environmental management institutions should be set up to guarantee the implementation and the efficiency of project environmental management.

Considering the following facts, it is suggested to establish management institutions according to the time intervals: 1) the environmental impact and environmental protection measures of the project are different during the construction period and the operating period, that is, the content of environmental management varies during these different periods; 2) the environmental management is temporary during the construction period, while the

188 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject environmental management is chronic during the operating period, that is, the environmental management varies during the different periods; 3) The project is composed of many sub-projects. During the construction period, the project bundling, the capital and construction are coordinated and controlled in a unified manner, while during the operating period each sub-project runs separately, and is independent from each other, and no longer a unified project. That is, the environmental management methods and institutional systems vary during the different periods.

Therefore, environmental management institutions during construction period and operating period should be set up respectively.

Environmental management institutions during the construction period are in charge of environmental management work during the construction period. To make it convenient for project management and coordination, 3 grades of institutions should be established: the head office for construction environmental management of the project, city environmental management office and sub-project environmental management office. The establishment of management structures is illustrated with Table 9-1. Among them, the head office for construction environmental management of the project is in charge of the overall project management and coordination. The head office is composed of 2 persons, assigned by the provincial Commission of Finance; the city environmental management office is in charge of environmental management of the sub-projects of the counties administered by the city and at the same time, accepts the instructions of the head office. It is composed of 1 person, which can be assigned by the city Commission of Finance and the Commission of Development and Reform, mainly in charge of coordinating the work between the province and the counties. The sub-project environmental management office is in charge of the environmental management of each sub-project. Each sub-project office is composed of 2 persons.

After the construction period, the environmental management institutions during the construction period should be cancelled correspondently. At the same time, environmental management institutions begin to run during the operating period. There is only 1 grade of environmental management institutions during operating period, that is, the independent environmental management institutions of each sub-project. Each institution is composed of 4 persons.

The working staff of the management institutions should have equivalent qualifications and experience, and accept the occupation guidance of local environment protection departments.

No seepage lavatory or seepage pit is to be built No waste residue is to be heaped up and Ground no sewage channel is to be set up. No activities that destroy the deep soil are allowed. If the Water water-getting tier does not come out of the ground within the radius of the well's influence or it Source has no complementary relationship with surface water, then smaller area of protection may be set up according to concrete situations. * The protection scope of water-getting area, the radius of the influence and the hygeian protection of ground water source at rock-dissolving district are to be marked out and designed by water-supplying units and decided after studies by water condition and geology, public health and environmental protection departments. * Within the scope of production area of the water plant, the requirements are to be carried out just as the production area of surface water plant.

205 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject b. Division of the drinking water source's protection area

In addition, in order to ensure the quality of the drinking-water source, the discharge amount of pollutants at the upper reach of the river must be strictly controlled and all water-supplying sub-projects must allocate the area around the source and certain part of the upper reach of the river as source protection area. Furthermore, the development of cities around the source and the development of industries are to be controlled.

Protection of surface water source

The five counties (out of eight counties) water-supplying project's surface water source places have been marked out as drinking-water source reserve. The five couties are Baofeng, Xichuan, Queshan, Pingqiao District in Xinyang City and Yangshan District in Xinyang City. For the above projects, the protection of water quality should be further strengthened and it is suggested that relevant drinking-water source protection statute be formulated and implemented. For the other three surface water source water-supplying projects, the following should be obeyed: Water Pollution Prevention and Cure Law of PRC, Detailed Rules of Water Pollution Prevention and Cure Law of PRC and Regulations of Poullution Prevention in the Drinking-Water Source Protection Area. In certain part of the upper reach of water-getting area, drinking-water reserve should be marked out and protective measures taken.

The marked-out scope should be in line with the concrete water condition, the distribution of pollution sources and other situations. For those projects which take rivers as source, 5-10 km of the upper reach of water-getting area, 0.5-1km of lower reach and 1-2 km of terrestrial area of the banks will be marked out as source protection area. For those projects which take reservoir as source, 2-3 km of reservoir and its rain-collecting area, 5-10 km of the upper reach of reservoir river and 1-2 terrestrial area of the banks will be allocated as source protection area.

As for the marking-out of water protection area, water-supplying units can consult with public health, environmental protection and water conservancy departments and put forward marking-out plans to relevant municipal and county governments. They will be reported to people's government for approval. The protective measures and forbidden behaviors in the water protection area should be carried out strictly according to the above laws and regulations' relevant clauses and articles. For the detailed regulations, see table 9-8.

As for the water-quality implemental standards, Standard II of Surface Water Environment Quality Standards shall apply to the water quality of 1 protection area for daily drinking water; Standard III of Surface Water

Environment Quality Standards shall apply to the water quality of 2nd protection area. The water quality of quazi-reserve should guarantee the water quality of 2nd protection area to meet Standard III.

Protection of ground water source:

For those projects which take ground water as source, daily drinking water reserve of ground water source should be marked out. The marking out of reserve, the protective measures and forbidden behaviors should obey the relevant clauses and articles of the following laws and regulations: Water Pollution Prevention and Cure Law of PRC, Detailed Rules of Water Pollution Prevention and Cure Law of PRC and Regulations of Pollution Prevention in the Drinking-WaterSource ProtectionArea. For the details, see table 9-9.

For those projects which involve multi-layer exploitation the exploration projects that expose and penetrate water-containing layer must follow the relevant criteria and requirements to strictly work on the water-stopping and hole-blocking. Especially for those proj.ects which shallow-layer groundwater has been polluted, the layer-by-layer exploitation and water-stopping must be done strictly according to the rules and carefully.

208 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject The marking-out scheme of groundwater reserve is to be worked out according to the geographical location of the drinking-water source, the conditions of water and geology, water-supplying amount, exploitation method and the distribution of pollutant sources by environmental protection department of local government which is above the county level together with the departments of territorial resources, public health, construction and other administrative departments of the same level. The scheme should be reported to be approved by local government. Standard II in Water Quality Standard of Underground Water applies to the water quality of drinking-water's underground water source reserve.

The scope of the marked out underground water source reserve should be set according to the water and geological condition of the locality. If there is no detailed investigation materials, the suggested scope is as follows: I" protection area ---30x30m2 around the well; 2nd protection area --- 500x500m2 around the well; Reserves with shallow-layer groundwater as source---there should be strict soil-pollution prevention (including pollution from agriculture, industry and refuse dump); If relevant investigation is lacking, the source reserve scope should at least include 2-5km of the upper reach.

For the area within the planned surface water reserve or groundwater reserve, if there are wastewater-discharging units to move out, the government should give corresponding compensation and actually settle the problem of the enterprise's later-on production activities. When the moving of residents is involved, the government should resolve the problem of aftercare and compensation. In addition, forestation on the hill should be done within the reserve or at the surrounding area so that the water source can be retained and there should be less loss of water and soil.

For most groundwater source projects under this project, there are villages around. It is suggested that the wastewater discharge of the villages be brought into municipal sewage collecting system. Both of them will be sent to the planned county wastewater treatment plant to be treated so as to avoid pollution at the source area. If they cannot be incorporated, there should be anti-seepage waste outlet pipelines in the village. Therefore, the wastewater will be discharged at the lower reach of the source in the water-supplying project through pipeline networks.

2) Water Quality Protection of the Water Transmission

For those obvious-channel water transmission pipelines, there should be slope protection and anti-seepage. The pipelines should be higher than the surface ground and protective nets must be set up so as to avoid wastewater, rubbish and other pollutants alongside to enter. It is suggested protective belts should be set up at both sides.

As for water transportation by closed-in pipelines, if there are accidents with the pipelines, part of the channel water will resort, and suspended solids will settle so as to make the water turbid. Therefore, effective plans of daily maintenance and management should be worked out and the maintenance and countermeasures for the pipeline accidents should be considered.

3) Monitoring of water quality

There should be regular water quality supervisions of the letting-in water and the work of water quality monitoring and analysis should be strengthened. Problems ought to be discovered in time and relevant measures taken. The sampling of source water quality, the monitoring method, frequency and standard should all meet relevant stipulations in the Water Source Standard of Daily Drinking Water. The water quality supervision of drinking water (supplied by water-purifying plants) should meet the relevant stipulations of The Hygeian Standard of Daily Drinking Water

4) Measures against emergency

. Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject The pre-warning and forecast work of paroxysmal water quality pollution accidents as well as the emergency measures after the accidents should be done well. Especially for projects which take surface water as source, there should be careful check on the water-getting and good prevention work and emergency measures for those sudden accidents 9.3 Environmental Supervision Plan

The environment supervision organization and environment management organization are both in charge of the environmental behaviors of the project. The relationship between the two is shown in Figure 9-1. The plan of the project's environmental protection supervision is shown in Table 9-10.

Grasp in time the extent of influence that the planned-project may cast on the surrounding environment. Discover problems in time and report the situation to the in-charge departments so as to offer technical support of environmental management.

As for construction period, all sub-projects-approved EIA reports don't include the monitoring plans. Considering the influence that the dust and noise of construction may cast on surrounding sensitive objects, the report holds that all sub-projects should carry out environment monitoring to the above two aspects. Through the monitoring the construction management can be reinforced. During the operational period, the water-supplying projects mainly carry out supervision of the source water quality. The wastewater-treating projects mainly carry out monitoring of the treated water quality, odor and sludge. Therefore they can provide basis for the project operation management. 9.4.2 Organizations

Environmental monitoring includes two phases: the construction period and the operation period. The monitoring tasks are uniformally planned and managed by project environment management department. As for the monitoring of the dust and noise during the construction period, it entails complex instrument and there is no need to set up special monitoring organization. It canl be committed to qualilied monitoring units (c.g. environiment monitoriin station of the city or district. water condition monitoring station) to implement. The existent monitoring station, equipment, manpower of different departments should be made best use of. It will not only save capital and time but also guarantee the quality of supervision if existent techniques and advantages are utilized. The monitorinlg station of county may he preferential, if they havc the qualification. Otherwise. The monitoring station of city may be committed. During the operation period, the supervision of source water quality of the water-supplying projects bears on residents' water usage. Therefore, it is the important task and duty during the operation period of all water-supplying projects. The monitoring of wastewater quality is also a necessity during the treatment process of wastewater treatment project. Hence, special monitoring organization needs to be built and professional staff and instrument need to be equipped. It is suggested that water quality monitoring center be set up in tap water plants or wastewater treatment plants of all counties. Each center should have 2-3 staff members. As for the monitoring of odor and sludge, it can be committed to qualified monitoring units to implement. For the system of environment monitoring organization, see Figure 9-2.

As far as the environmental protection investment estimations in those finished environmental assessment tables of the sub-projects are concerned, most of the projects don't include environmental protection investment and environmental management during the construction period, supervision, training and other items. Therefore, the general report makes a re-estimation of the environmental investment. The re-estimation makes reference to the finished sub-project environmental assessment tables and supplements those items neglected by the environmental assessment table of sub-projects. Due to the sub-project's environmental impact, the contents of environmental protection measures are similar. Furthermore, the environmental assessment tables of a few projects haven't been 217 I I

Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject finished, hence the investment estimation is relatively rough and it is estimated on the basis of the average condition of the sub-projects. The estimation of environmental protection investment of single projects is shown in table 9-18. The estimation of environmental protection investment of the general project is shown in table 9-19.

220 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 10 Public Consultation & Information Disclosure 10.1 Public Consultation 10.1.1 Objective

According to relevant regulations of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People 's Republic of China as well as the World Bank's relevant policy on environmental impact assessment (OP4.01), the environmental impact assessment of this project needs the public consultation in the survey.

The objective of the public survey lies in: make local residents know about this construction project and understand the influence this project may bring them timely and accurately; in the meantime, get to know the public's attitude, opinion, problems and expectations in relation to the construction project; collect precious opinions and suggestions, perfect design and construction management, guarantee the smooth implementation of the project, give full play to the project's comprehensive benefit as much as possible, and try all best to avoid and diminish any negative influence and avoid the pollution and social conflict that arise in the course of project construction and operation.

The public survey was made for many times in two stages.

The first public survey starts from 2002 and ends in 2004. In this stage, most of the sub-projects are in the course of feasibility research, the examination and approval of the feasibility research has completed already (the examination and approval of the report on environmental impact assessment of some sub-projects has also finished), but the provincial government has not yet determined to use World Bank loans. The public opinion survey mainly aims at making the public fully comprehend and understand the project, getting to know their opinion, attitude and suggestions on the project, collect pertinent advices and reflect them in project design.

The second public survey starts in January 2005 and ends in June 2005 when the provincial government has determined to bundle all sub-projects and utilize World Bank loans and prepare the overall environmental impact assessment report according to the World Bank's requirement. All sub-projects have been established for two or three years at that time. What's more, half a year has passed ever since the government determined to utilize World Bank loans, and the public has had a clear and comprehensive understanding of the project. The main purposes of the public survey are, provide the public with a channel to send feedback information and suggestions and get to know their opinions and attitude towards the project.

The above-mentioned public surveys in two stages supplement each other. They can reflect the public's opinion objectively and comprehensively. The first stage of the public survey is still in the preparation stage for the establishment of project. The public gradually understands and recognizes the project and more and more people get to know it; the second stage of the public survey is in the final stage of feasibility research. The public has universally understood the project and has had a long-time consideration and formed their own opinions, recognition and viewpoints. 10.1.2 Public consultation During The First Stage

The first public survey was made between 2002 and 2004 when most of the projects were still in the course of feasibility research or the preparation of environmental impact assessment report. We widely collected the opinions of all circles. See the content of public opinion survey and the public's opinions below:

1) In regard of the selection of project site and water source, we consulted with the experts about many questions. For example, we consulted with environment experts about the guarantee of future water quality; we consulted with the local experts accomplished in hydraulics and water resource about the amount of water 221 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject in the water source.

2) In regard of the selection of project site and water source, we solicited the public's opinion. For some projects, the shallow groundwater will be polluted or contain high content of fluorine or of high hardness, which will become a potential threat to local resident's health. The public's opinion is very helpful for the selection of water source.

3) In regard of the occupation of land, the owner discussed and negotiated with relevant villagers and village cadres about the occupied land area and the compensation standard, etc. and came to an agreement. Presently, most of the projects have completed the takeover of land. For individual project, due to local resident's strong protest about the removal of the original residence and future relocation, the site selection was made again.

4) In regard of the villages living nearby the water works and the water source, we informed them of the detailed information about the project and also held a talk with them. After finding out the actual situation, in the project implementation scheme, we brought the local villager's domestic water into the pipe network of the water works to be built in the future, so as to avoid the influence of the water works on local villagers. Besides, as the villagers presently use the shallow groundwater through wells, and the shallow groundwater will be polluted or contain high content of fluorine or of high hardness and become a potential threat to local resident's health, we plan to provide them with tap water.

For example, regarding the water supply project in Yuanyang, Xinxiang city, the former site of the factory is nearby the county town with centralized villages. After discussing and communicating with the owners and the local villagers, we found that the public had a protest about the site selection, especially the problem of relocation and the influence on water after the completion of works. Therefore, the owner negotiated with the design unit and relevant experts many times and selected a new site that was about 4km away from the southern county town. The new site is open and spacious with no villages around. It won't arouse any relocation problem, and has a guarantee of water source and water quality, as it gets close to the irrigation canal. Although it needs more investment in water-transmission pipeline, it avoids the influence on local villagers' life and all possible social conflicts.

From this we can see that the first public opinion survey mainly aims at making the local people aware of and understand the project, reflecting good suggestions and measures in project design through the consultation with experts and public, gradually optimizing the engineering scheme, ultimately forming the optimum scheme and realizing the unification of economic, social and environmental benefit. 10.1.3 Public consultation During The Second Stage

The second public survey was made between March and August 2005.

In this stage, Henan government planned to utilize the World Bank loans for bundled construction of 42 water supply and drainage works. Among them, some projects have conducted feasibility research several years ago, the feasibility research report and the environmental impact assessment report have been prepared and approved, and the first public opinion survey has been made already. But some projects were initiated very late, and the project feasibility research and the environmental impact assessment were just put on top of the agenda not long ago. According to the World Bank's requirement, the environmental impact assessment of the project needs the public consultation for two times. Therefore, we made public opinion survey twice on all sub-projects (the projects that have prepared environmental impact assessment report) between March and August 2005. The first public opinion survey was made when the overall environmental impact assessment report outline was in preparation stage; the second public opinion survey was made when the overall environmental impact assessment report was in preparation stage. Numbers of people attend the public survey is around 2,000.

224 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject (2) The Statistics of Survey Result

There are usually around 15 to 60 people accepting the survey of every sub-project, including the staff of the county tap water company, the village people and cadre near the project, the staff of County People's Congress and Political Consultative Conference, government, Construction Bureau, Water Resources Bureau, Environment Protection Bureau, Forestry Bureau, Auditing Committee, Finance Bureau, etc. ordinary residents, etc. With the age ranging from 20 to 60, they all accepted education in senior middle school, technical secondary school or above and have the ability to analyze and make decisions.

The survey result of every sub-project is fairly similar. The people accepting the survey all pay high attention and most of them support the project. The main survey result is as follows.

Li To which degree they know about the project

Most surveyee said they 'know it'.

3 Their attitude against the project

Nearly all the surveyees say the project is necessary and they will support it mainly for the following reasons:

* The former water supply facilities cannot meet current need, the supply and need contradiction is serious;

* The need of municipal development; to improve the life quality of residents;

* Be helpful for people's health and the improvement of environment hygiene;

* To reduce the pollution of rural drinking water;

* Be helpful for the improvement of city grade, etc.

LI Their comments on the project impact on environment

Most people think it is 'Beneficial' or 'there is hardly impact'. They believe the main negative impact on environment is field occupation by construction, traffic problems, noise pollution and the problems caused by concentrating discharge of domestic sewage during operation.

L]Their knowledge on how the project will influence themselves:

The majority think it is 'Beneficial'. Because:

* It can improve the water utilizing condition and resolve the difficulty in utilizing water;

* Achieving drinking water hygiene standard, reducing water pollution and guarantee the resident's health;

* Improving the living environment, helpful for resident's life and city development;

* Improving regional investment environment and boosting regional economic development;

* Canceling self-prepared well, increasing water supply and bring obvious economic benefit.

r The public wishes and suggestions:

* Collect funds and put it into construction as soon as possible;

* Reduce excavating land occupation; avoid disturbing green land of the city and occupying cultivated land. The use of cultivated land must conform to the related policy and follow strict procedures. The land taken over for use must be compensated at the stipulated cost in time. 225 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject * The government should properly make migrated people's arrangement and stabilization. It should try to avoid troubling the residents nearby in pulling down houses;

* Try to avoid traffic rush hour, arranging the construction time reasonably, avoid disturbing residents as much as possible, repair the damaged road soon, reduce the constructing period and the impact on traffic;

* Avoid constructing in rest, reduce night construction, comply with all construction regulations, reduce construction pollution and disturbance to the residents;

* Water during construction, control dust and protect farm and trees;

* Undertake the project by public bidding, guarantee the project quality by supervising regulations, accelerate the construction, make good use of and properly administer the loan granted by World Bank.

* Fix the water price reasonably, pay attention to saving water after finishing the project, and prohibit using water beyond the normal standard and wasting water resources.

* Afforest the water factory like a garden and enable it to be beautiful scenery of the city

* Improve the sewage gathering, build sewage treatment plant, discharge the domestic sewage after treatment.

* They wish the loan is granted quickly and the project is finished as soon as possible to benefit people.

El People's Doubt

* When the funds can be prepared? Can the project be fixed as soon as possible?

* Can the compensation for land occupation and movement be realized?

* Whether the source of drinking water is clean or not? Whether the price of water is reasonable or not?

The public consultation and statistic result of the survey of every sub-project is exposed in form 10-2.

According to the above public survey result, it is showed that people pay big attention to the project and positively support it with high expectation. They express understanding to the environment pollution possibly caused by the project, such as noise of construction, dust, traffic problems, farm occupation, etc. People highly expect the project can be constructed quickly and put into use soon in order to resolve the current problem of water supply. However, they have some doubt on the project quality, resource water quality and water supply amount during operation. Some comments and suggestions are very valuable and can serve as the reference for project administration department.

243 Environmnent Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject 11. Conclusion 11.1 Conclusion of Layout and Scenarios Analysis 11.1.1 Conclusion on the Coordination Analysis of Planning

In terms of the urban development trend and water supply situation in China, the establishment of water supply program of medium and small sized cities in Henan Province is the strategic need of national economy and social development.

In terms of urban development in Henan Province, the program is the need of a comfortably off society construction and realizing the rise of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River , of accelerating urbanization process, of implementing national policy and laws. It is also the chance to mix together with world in medium and small sized city construction.

In terms of current water use situation of every county town, tap water is not so popular in county and there are many private wells. The county residents extract underground water disorderly, so the shallow-layer groundwater is polluted more or less, which does harm to their health. Therefore, this project is very important to improve resident's living quality and guarantee their physical health.

11.1.2 Conclusion on the Rationality Analysis of Layout

This program intends to include 37 county water supply projects and 5 county sewage treatment plants, which cover 12 provincial cities and are balanced all over the province. These counties develop quickly. But the water supply is poor and they are lacking funds for construction. Besides, they are political, economic and culture centers and play a foundation role in the cities of middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. As a result, they urgently need to improve conditions of water supply. The rational distribution and selection of the project site is of great importance for local city construction, the improvement of living standard and the rise of middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

11.1.3 Conclusion on the Rationality Analysis of Scale and Technology Selection

The Feasibility Research Report of every sub-project is based on the prediction of future water need in the urban development planning by county government. In October, 2004, the experts of World Bank verified the scale of these projects and most of them were reduced. Many county governments brought the first stage project into credit extension procedures in the reduced scale and intended to extend the project later. The report says the projects in the reduced scale can resolve the current difficulty and meet need for water supply in the forthcoming five years. The scale is within the rational scope.

The selection of water purifying technology mainly depends on the quality of water. There has been mature experience and technology in water purifying in China for a long time. The water on earth surface is easily affected from outside, so its purifying technology is more complicated; the quality underground water is fairly good and stable, so its purifying technology is simple. The optimal selection of purifying technology is made in feasibility research reports of 37 sub-projects according to the quality of water head. The maturity, safety, purifying effort, operation administration and investment of the technology are taken into consideration. Therefore, the purifying technology selection is rational.

11.1.4 Rationality Analysis on WaterSource Selection

Water source selection is one of the most important issues in water supply project. It is the focus in the 'Project Proposal', 'Feasibility Research Report' and 'Demonstration Report of Water Resources' of every sub-project.

244 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject They select different plans of water source, survey the information they get and do analysis or demonstration in terms of water capacity and quality, investment, environment protection.

Most sub-projects lie in plain. Earth thickness there is more than lOOOm.Rain and underground water are rich, but earth surface water is seriously polluted and cannot be regarded as water source. As a result, underground water is the only available water source. The organization writing 'Demonstration Report of Water Resources', according to current environmental conditions and urban development planning, survey hydrological and geological conditions in detail. They draw water, examine the water chemically, calculate the volume balance in shallow, middle and deep water and fix the water source at last. They also draw up the development plan of shallow, middle and deep water and optimize the well distribution. The influence on other projects is taken in to consideration in the plan of well distribution and development and the specific measures are laid down.

Due to the objection of the water source peasants of Yuanyang, Xingxiang City, the former site selection is cancelled and the water source is fixed is fixed in the place which is closer to the Yellow River and with richer underground water.

The organization writing this report make field investigation to 9 projects(all have been inspected by the World Bank), informally discuss with local proprietors and do some research on 'Feasibility Research Report', 'Demonstration Report of Water Resources' ' Environmental Impact Report'. It concludes, there are some differences in location, environment and distribution of water resources of every county. There are also some differences in thoughts of proprietors and administration department of every county. The different selection of water source reflects these differences. But generally, under current social, economic and environmental conditions, theses water source and extracting programs are rational and feasible. 11.2 Conclusion of Environmental Impact Assessment during construction In the construction period, there might be different degrees of impact on water environment (earth surface water and underground water), soil, environmental air, sound environment, soil erosion, people's health, urban traffic, cultural relic, migrating villagers, residents' life, etc. The conclusion is as follows:

* Water environment pollution is caused by construction and living sewage. It can be avoided via some effective measures.

* Air pollution is caused by waste gas of burning oil, flying dust. It is minor and can be greatly reduced by strengthening the control.

* Water pipeline and waterworks (or sewage treatment plant) are both planned to be built outside the county town. So there will be fewer residents nearby and less bad impact caused by construction noises generally; water distribution pipeline (or sewage pipeline network) is built in the busy streets of county towns, resident district, offices, schools, hotels. These places are very sensitive to noise and will be impacted by noise a lot. Though noise bothering cannot be avoided, it can be reduced by some effective measures.

* Construction will disturb earth surface a lot. So the soil fertility and agricultural production will be ruined. The surface soil should be collected independently and put it back after construction

* There is big potential bad impact caused by soil erosion of Yuxi Mountain Area. Water pipeline goes through upland and the excavation will bring about serious soil erosion, so the construction administration should be strengthened to reduce the soil erosion. The impact of this kind in plain is little.

* The construction will not affect native vegetation. Most projects usually cut somebushes and sprinkling arbor only, hardly affecting biological enviroment. Of nine field inspected projects, the waterworks of Lankao will 245 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject have to cut 50 poplars, which will affect the enviroment somewhat.

* Most occupied land by construction is national basic farmland. The impact on agriculture caused by land occupation is one of the most serious environmental issues. So the effective measures should be taken to compensate and recultivate the land so as to release that impact. The pipeline excavation will propobaly destroy the irrigation trench and wells, which can be avoided through survey and planning before construction as well as the rational resolution during the construction stage.

* The construction area of Runan is near Tianzhong Mountain, the national protecting district of culture relic,. So the construction will impact the nearby area somewhat. Apart from this, the construction of other projects will not impact the culture relic on earth surface. But there are many culture relics and historic sites all over Henan Province, so the excavation might ruin the underground culture relics that have not been discovered. The construction party, according the related regulations, should protect the locale, contact the concerning administration department and handle it appropriately.

* The pipeline construction will cause no impact on traffic; the intended construction sites of most waterworks (or sewage treatment plants) are very close to the arteries of county town, which will cause no impact on traffic; the minority waterworks is intended to be built close to village path, the construction might cause traffic jam. But it can be reduced by construction administration.

* Of 42 projects, only the one of Mengjin will involve migration (23 families about 92 persons). They will be arranged to settle down in other places appropriately, so there will be little impact. But the resident migration is a sensitive problem, which should be attached enough importance to.

* The staff of construction will live together and their health situation should not be overlooked. So hygiene and disease control should be strengthened.

* The project administraion is the key to reduce environmental impact. 11.3 Conclusion of Environmental Impact Assessment during Operation

After the project is finished, it wil play an important role in the improvement of local water supply conditions and water drinking situation, and in the social and economic development. Meanwhile, at the operation stage of the project, there will be some environmental issues. The main conclusion of environmental impact assessment is as follows:

* According to the survey and analysis on 9 water supply projects, due to rich water volume, the projects that using earth surface water (e.g.Yiyang)and those using earth surface water near rivers (e.g. Songxian and Yuanyang) will cause little bad impact on water resources and biological environment.

* According to the water resources demonstration report, all the projects that need to draw underground water use the water within the prescribed scope. But the projects that use mainly shallow-layer groundwater in plain (e.g. Weishi, Suixian) cannot avoid lowering the underground water position,drying land and impact the biological environment on earth surface.

* The water source demonstration of each water supply project has all been authorized by Water Resources Department of Henan Province. The water administration department will govern the water resources, distributing and controling water according to total amount. Therefore, the water use of the project will impact other water users in a normal scope.

* The projects that using shallow-layer groundwater in plain (e.g. Weishi, Lankao and Suixian) will affect underground water level very much and affect the water use of peasants nearby. The projects using deep-layer

246 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject groundwater (Tongxu, Suiping and Runan), hardly affect shallow-layer groundwater level and the water use of peasants nearby, due to the interruption of water proof level.Due to the rich water resources in Yiyang, Xing'an, Song and Yuanyang, there will be no impact on other water users.

* The water quality of the projects using earth surface water (e.g. Yiyang) will be affected by outside more likely.The main potential pollution source is on both sides of upper reaches of rivers (or surrounding reservoir). In order to the water quality, protection district should be set up in water inlet.

* The projects using underground water in plain, especially those using shallow-layer groundwater(Weishi, Lankao and Suixian), are easily polluted by human activities, including agriculture pollution, urban living sewage, living rubbish and industrial sewage.the county government should set up the protection district of water source, according to the concerning natioal laws.

* Individual water supply subproject will occupy 25- 45 mu (1.7-3 ha), individual wastewater subproject will occupy 40 mu (2.6 ha), most of which is national basic farmland. That occupation will affect cultivated land somewhat.But cultivated land there is very rich Besides,the occupied land has been planned for new development district by county and the frenchise has been granted by land department.Generally, there is no big bad impact on the local land utilization, agriculture and peasant's life. That impace can be reduced via rational compensation.

* The sewage caused in water purifying can be mostly utilized again. The small part of it and living sewage will be treated together and discharged complying with standard.So there will be little impact on the environment.

* The living sewage caused by project administrators will be treated and discharged complying with standard. Small amount of rubbish will be brought into municipal rubbish cleaning system. There will be little impact on the environment.

* When the water supply project operates, much living sewage will be discharged together, which will affect the earth surface water and might become the pollution source of other county. According to the regulations of Henan Province, brfore 2007, all county towns must build sewage treatment plants. All the counties of this project all intend to build sewage treatment plants. After the plants are finished, All the living sewage will be treated together and discharged complying with standard. So the qualities of earth surface water will not deterioted.

* The tail water from sewage treatment project will be discharged according to the different functions of the water area that is intaken water. At present, all the water area into which sewage is discharged are all polluted and the organic element are beyond standard. The tail water discharge of the project will dilute the pollution water and is helpful to improve the water quality.

* There are no sensitive objects like resident area within the health guard distance of most sewage treatment project. But there are some residents within the health guard distance of Song and Huangchuan. The foul smell will affect them. The project will take measures to avoid it, for instance, migration.

* it is predicted that the mud caused by water treatment project is common solid waste. They will be sent to be buried. There are administration and environment protection measures in burying site, so the pollution to environment by mug is under control. But there will be some foul smell in transportation and it should be pay attention to.

* There will be the risk of chlorine leak in water purling plants and sewage treatment plants. But all the projects are designed to prevent from the risk in terms of equipment, arrangement, emergency plan, etc. so

247 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the risk will be reduced much. 11.4 Environmental Benefits The project has remarkable social, economical and environmental benefit, which contain:

1. Increase the water supply capacity of urban area, to cater for the shortage of water supply. There is general problem of insufficient water supply infrastructure, shortage in water supply capacity and low coverage for distribution network. After the completion of the project, it will increase the water supply capacity of 765,000 tons/day, improve the water supply service to 3,892,400 people in existing urban area, resolve the water demand of 5,394,700 people in short-term, and domestic/industrial water demand in mid to long term of the project area, to secure the substantial development of town area in Henan Province.

2. Provide good quality drinking water, to ensure the health of resident. Coverage of tap water in project area is low; and the numbers of self-provided well is huge and explore without order; due to the contaminated shallow layer aquaifier and complicated geological structure, resdient are using these contaminated drinking water from self-provided well, and their health are endanger. Besides, partial county area are suffer from drinking water-borne dieases (like fluoride bone dieases) due to geological factor and water contamination. After the completion of project, resident who originally drink the self-provided well water contaminated or with high fluoride or nitrate content, will be supplied with drinking water comply with state drinking water sanitation standard. Hence, this project will have major effect on promotion of resident living standard and ensure public health.

3. Enhance the water supply and drainage condition, increase the water supply coverage, improve living environment, and save water usage. Water infrastructure in project area is insufficient, water supply capacity is low, facility is too simple, and the distribution metwork is aged and the arrangement is irrational. Leaking along water pipe is very servious. Use of self-provided lead to waste of water resource, and contamination to surface water, and there is even "cone" phenomenon in ground water occurred in some area. This project will have significant value in improve water supply and drainage condition, and saving in water resource.

4. Increase wastewater collection rate, improve environment quality, protect regional environment. There is no wastewater plant located in the project area, and the pollution in surface water is very servious, which has contaminated the shallow water quality. The wastewater component of this project will improve river water quality, and promote the water environment quality of the downstream and entire region.

5. Through the infrastructure construction, it can improve the investment condition, promote financing channel, increase employment, speed up the regional industry development and urbanisation. Promote the balanced development of city and county area in Henan, to set up the corner stone for well-off community of Henan and emerging of Henan. 11.5 Conclusion on Public consultation

The result of two stages public investigation shows that, public sustain this project actively, they hold the highest hopes. They hope the project can be constructed and used as soon as possible to solve actual problems such as shortage of water supply and drinking water health. Public can understand the possible environmental problems happened in project constructing such as yawp, dusts, impact traffic and use of farmland, and give the related valuable suggestion. Owners and designers accept good ideas and apply them in project design. They optimise the project scheme stage by stage to reach best economical, social and environmental benefits.

Take Xinxiang city Yuanyang water supply project as example, because it will affect local people using water in

248 Environment Impact Assesment Report and Environment Management Plan of Henan water supply preject the construction, public didn't agree with original address. So, the project chose a new address. Although it increases the investment of water transportation, it avoids infection to local people and probable depute. 11.6 Comprehensive Conclusion For the project of WB's loan for water supply and sewage of the compact cities in Henan province, during the construction, dig the earth's surface, remove the land that has been used there, noise of the construct, dust emission, transport, spoil and some other factors may have some influences to the environment and people's life all around. It also may bring some domestic sewerage, construction sewerage, domestic garbage, work garbage and so on. They will pollute the environment if they cannot be dealt with well. However, these influences are provisional and partial, we can take some environmental measurements to slow them down or even avoid them.

During the periods, the project may produce some domestic sewerage, garbage and some mechanical noise, but we can delay or avoid these disadvantageous influences by some measures. The water quality, and the quantity of the water supply project are the most important things. We should set a water-source resource to ensure the quality of drinking-water source. The effluvium influence, transport and disposal of the mud are important problems of the effluent treatment project; we should strengthen some protected measures.

So, project doesn't exist limited environmental factors.

Operation of the project can meliorate situation of water supply shortage existed in Henan different cities; improve local people living water sanitary conditions; ensure the drinking water quality; improve regional water environment. The project has important signification in improving local living standard and living environment, Improving the standard of making use of water resource of this area, optimising investment environment, offering economic development elements, expediting the urbanization process of the county as well as Henan province, laying the groundwork for economic, social and environmental sustainable development of the county as well as Hena province.

The environmental signification of this project is more important than temporary adverse influence, so from environmental aspect, this project is advisable.
