Chapter 1 Project Overview

1.1 Project Background

Hunan Province is known as “a land of nonferrous metals”. Many farmlands are seriously polluted by nonferrous metals from industrial and mining waste water as well as dust fall during mining and smelting. In 2011, nonferrous metal pollution survey and monitoring were developed in rice growing areas of 1.8 million mu in surrounding areas of industrial and mining enterprises, irrigation areas and medium-large suburbs distributed in 45 districts and counties, and 12,000 soil samples were collected in all. According to the monitoring results, the heavy metals that pollute farmland mainly included Cd (cadmium), Pb (lead), Hg (mercury), As (arsenic), and Cr (chromium), especially Cd. In regard to the types of agricultural products, mainly rice and vegetables were polluted. In 2013, the reports about “cadmium-polluted rice storm” by some media aroused widespread attentions of society and high attention of government of all levels, caused huge impact on the rice industry in the whole southern China, and sounded the alarm for the issues on current agricultural production security and farmland protection. In recent years, the situation for grain sales in Hunan Province is very difficult. Being affected by the “cadmium-polluted rice storm”, grain merchants such as grain enterprises and the like do not actively purchase grains from farmers like before. On the one hand, the government emphasizes to grow more grains repeatedly orders to guarantee a steady rise in the total yield, on the other hand, the grains grown by the farmers cannot be sold. The grain production and sales is suffered from a serious setback, the benefits of the agricultural production and the grain processing enterprises are reduced, which as a strong impact on the enthusiasm of rice production, and there is a strong concern over this from the farmers. Given this, with the aims of curbing and controlling pollution of heavy metals and organic matters in agricultural producing areas, improving environments of agricultural producing areas, and guaranteeing food safety, 15 districts and counties in Hunan are selected as the representatives of sub-project counties being listed in the “Integrated Management of

3 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report Farmland Pollution in Hunan” in the hilly and mountainous areas of Hunan after rapid risk analysis and research of Agriculture Commission of Hunan Province, these districts and counties have clear and controllable heavy metal pollution sources, draw attentions from local governments, attract a strong public participation willingness, and receive heavy metal pollution control in the earlier stage, and they provide reference and demonstration for other hilly and mountainous areas in Hunan to explore management modes for farmlands polluted by heavy metals. As the first batch of implementing sub-project counties, Yongding District, County and obtained the approval from the the World Bank in January, 2017; and the remaining 12 subProject counties of Baojing County, Jishou City, Yongshun County, Huayuan County, Cili County, , Anhua County, Hengnan County, Yizhang County, Linwu County, and Qiyang County are implementing subProject counties in the second batch. The project is Hunan Province’s Integrated Management of Contaminated Agricultural Land in 12 sub-project Counties with World Bank Loan. Its objectives are to analyze risk factors of heavy-metal-polluted farmlands in 12 sub-project counties, borrow and introduce heavy-metal-polluted farmland management experience at home and abroad in the selected demonstration farmlands, establish risk-based integrated management mechanism for polluted farmland, demonstrate and popularize the integrated management mode within the final demonstration farmland scope, and then realize safe agricultural production.

1.2 Lessons Learned from Similar Projects

From 2014, pollution control and crop planting structure adjustment pilot works were carried out in heavy-metal-polluted farmland of 2,740,100 mu in --. Implementation results of the project: VIP remediation mode was adopted; the Cd content of early rice in standard-reaching production area, controlled special production area and substitute planting area all dropped by over 40%, of

4 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report late rice by 36.7%-72.1%, and the standard-reaching rates of Cd contents of both early rice and late rice obvious increased; the physical and chemical properties of soils became better; pH value of the soils increased slightly. A series of reproducible and propogable technical paths used in the heavy metal control pilot Projects in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan, provide valuable experience for integrated management Project of polluted farmland in Hunan with World Bank loan, and are of actual significance to management, implementation and operation of technical schemes and Projects.

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report 2.2 Analysis of Compliance with the World Bank’s Safeguards Policies

The World Bank has ten safeguard policies in social and environmental aspects. Whether the ten safeguard policies are involved in the project are identified according to the project nature, determined assessment scope and field investigation, with results shown in Table 2-1.

Table 2-1 Analysis of Compliance of WB Safeguard Policies Involved in the project Applicabl No. Safeguard policy Compliance e or not This Project, by adopting a risk-based comprehensive method, manage the agricultural land polluted by heavy metals and other pollutants, which applies to the safe agricultural product production of counties involved in the second batches of Project counties of Hunan Province. The project aims to prove the efficacy of the risk-based method to manage polluted agricultural lands, therefore it has significantly positive environmental and social benefits. The project’s impact is primarily the impact created by activities of agricultural land OP/BP 4.01 irrigation canals and other small-sized civil works activities. Environmental 1 However, if lack of efficient management, the source of heavy Yes Impact metal pollutants will have substantial impact on the Assessment environment and residents’ health, and agricultural products, covered by the project, whose contents exceed applicable standards in the region, if entering into the market, will have negative impact on the society, and will raise the food safety concerns. As a result, this Project is clarified as category A pursuant to OP4.01 environmental impact assessment. A separate social assessment report has been prepared for this Project, with its main contents and findings being included in the ESIA for this Project.

2.3 Analysis of Differences between PRC National, Local Laws and Regulations and World Bank’s safeguards Policies

(1) Differences between PRC National, Local Laws and Regulations and World Bank’s Safeguards policies

 OP/BP4. 01 Environmental Assessment Generally, the World Bank’s requirements on Project environmental impact assessment are largely consistent with environmental impact assessment requirements in China, with certain differences with respect to focuses and procedures. The World Bank’s provisions and requirements are more stringent than those in China, while China has special characteristics in environmental impact assessment.

Classification is different. China stipulates in the List of Environmental Impact Assessment a method of quantitative index thresholds, based on which to determine the

needs of preparation of environmental impact assessment reports/forms etc, and environmental impact assessment reports will be divided into 3 sub-categories. The World Bank adopts qualitative classification method, which will be determined by experts, and the projects will be divided into Categories A, B and C in accordance with environmental impact assessment policies, of which, tasks on EIA for Categories A and B are largely same, which are different from the practices in China in that in China EIA tasks will be further classified before the EIA scope, time period, contents and method of the EIA are determined. Hunan Province’s second batch of Project counties of Integrated Management

of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project, is categorized as Project of Category A, for which the EIA shall be conducted in accordance with requirements of the World Bank regarding Projects of Category A. The project impact areas and assessment scope may vary from Project to Project, and the World Bank will have a close look at the impact and potential impact of Projects. Therefore, environmental impact assessment of Hunan Province’s second batch of Project

45 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report counties of Integrated Management of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project, will be conducted by taking into consideration potential impact of the project on the environment, and EIA report shall list the preventive, mitigation or remedial actions proposed to be taken on adverse environmental impact assessment. The tools for environmental impact assessment are different. In China, there are planning EIA, EIA report and EIA form, and World Bank has strategic EIA, regional EIA, ESIA, ESMP, EMP, ESMP, ESMF, ECOP, and hazard and risk evaluation involved in due diligence. Hunan Province’s Integrated Management of Contaminated Agricultural Land Project has prepared ESMF and Esia, and ESIA has contained ESMP and ECOP. The World Bank will, in determining the environmental impact of any Project, take into consideration its social impact, in addition to the type, size, location and sensitivity of a Project, as is the case in China, and will combine the environmental impact with social impact assessment, while in China, independent social impact assessment will usually be carried out for Projects in China. Therefore, EIA for Hunan Province’s second batch of Project counties of Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Project, shall be conducted by fully taking into consideration social impact of the project activities and by proposing corresponding remedial measures. Public participation. The World Bank places high priority on information disclosure and public participation, and any Project subject to an EIA shall be subject to public consultation. For category A Projects, public consultation shall be conducted at least twice, and after the completion of EIA summary and EIA report draft, all EIA reports shall be published in the local public places and media, disclosing the publication date, location and the manners of obtaining of all contents of the EIA (It is not allowed to only publish briefing) and the manner of providing feedback. Related Projects. The World Bank requires Projects or facilities that will be affected by or affect the project to be subject to a due diligence and impact analysis and provision of corresponding measures. In the EIA of the Hunan Province Integrated Management of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project, due diligence for the pollutants that may have any impact on the project-covered regions shall be conducted and mitigation measures proposed. 46 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report Alternative plan analysis. In China, EIA generally doesn’t not require comparison and analysis of all plans for any Project in terms of environmental impact. Though Guideline for Environmental Impact Assessment requires an alternative plan analysis for Projects of category A, in practice, environmental impact assessment generally only relates to the discussion of reasonableness of plans selected after the feasibility study. The World Bank requires alternative plan analysis for all environmental impact assessments, and comparison shall be made for different plans, irrespective of Category A or Category B Projects, regarding the environmental impact, feasibility of mitigation of such impact, investments and operation expenses of mitigation actions, fitness for local conditions and requirements on training and monitoring etc. Those alternative plans may relate to different construction areas, different types of processes, raw materials and operation conditions, different mitigation actions, etc. The ESIA for Hunan Province’s County Integrated Management of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project has conducted county comparison and selection, Project-covered region comparison and selection, and comparison and selection on Project’s presence or absence, which will provide reasonable basis for decision-making for the project. EMP, ESMP places high priority on the implementation of measures, and ESIA and EIA have special chapters and sections that require the monitoring of Projects during their implementation. The latest technical guidelines in China require the monitoring of measures during the implementation of Projects, which is more in accord with the policies of the World Bank.  OP/BP4. 04 Natural Habitats The World Bank promotes the protection, maintenance and restoration of natural habitats and their functions, and expects borrowers to take preventive measures in natural resources management to ensure the sustainable development of the environment. If any Project contains natural habitat, the project shall arrange environmental protection experts to participate in the preparation, evaluation and inspection of the project, to ensure the preparation and implementation of sufficient impact mitigation measures. The World Bank will not fund any Project that may cause major transformation or deterioration of major natural habitats. China has enacted Regulation of the People's Republic of China on the 47 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report Administration of Nature Reserves, Regulation on Management of Land in Nature Reserves, Regulation on Protection of Wild Plants and other regulations, and also will not support any Project that may cause any major transformation or deterioration of any major natural habitat. The covered regions by Hunan Province’s Integrated Management of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project are mainly farming lands with frequent human activities and do not involve natural habitats.  OP/BP4. 36 Forestry The World Bank raises the concerns on forestry for the purposes of reducing excessive deforestation, improve the environment conditions of forestry, promote aforestation, reduce poverty and promote economic development. The World Bank will not fund the deforesting trade or purchase of tools manufactured by the primary tropical rainforests. The lending by the World Bank in respect of forestry is based on the commitment of government to ensure the administration of the forestry and completion of targeted forestry protection. The The Chinese government also makes great efforts in aforestation by adopting policies of forestry protection such as enacting the Forestry Law of the People’s Republic of China, strictly prohibiting the cutting of natural forests, primary forests, and promoting afforestation. Meanwhile, it has issued and implemented a number of forest eco-engineering plans to protect eco-system.  OP/BP4. 09 Pest Management When assisting borrowers in prevention and control of pests that may affect the agricultural safety or public health, the World Bank supports the strategies of promoting ecologic and environmental control approaches to reduce the reliance on chemically synthesized pesticides. Under Projects fund by the World Bank, borrowers shall discuss the pest and inset control in light of the environmental impact assessment of such Projects. In the conduct of Project assessment of any Project that involves pest and disease control, the World Bank will conduct evaluation of the law framework and capacities of institutes of such nation and determine whether such nation may be able to promote and support the pest and disease control that is safe, efficient and environment-friendly. When necessary, the World Bank and borrowers will include certain contents in the project to enhance such capacities. 48 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report In order to promote the professional prevention and control of crop disease and pest on a uniform basis, the World Bank adopts disease and pest control policies that endeavor to prevent the use and exposure to hazardous pesticides, and the World Bank will not finance any products that is categorized as IA or IB or listed as Category II by WHO. The PRC government has enacted the Uniform Management Regulation on Professional Crop Disease and Pest Prevention and Control, and promotes and supports the development of uniform professional prevention and control organizations, and promotes the professional prevention and control services on a uniform basis, and strives to promote the crop pest and disease prevention and control capacities, to safeguard food security, quality and safety of crops and safety of eco-system. Further, The Chinese government publishes a list of pesticides expressly prohibited and high toxic pesticides prohibited to be used on vegetables, fruit trees, tee trees, Chinese herbal medicines. The World Bank and China are consistent in terms of requirements on control of pests and diseases.

 OP/BP4. 11 Material Cultural Resources Items subject to appraisal under the World Bank’s policies are wider than those in Chinese regulations, and ancestral halls, ancient wells, ancient houses that are not included in protected items in China may be subject to protection under World Bank regulations, however the principles are consistent and the management of cultural relics are also consistent between the two. Therefore, the environmental impact assessment of Projects funded by the World Bank conducted by us will further clarify and expressly provide the definitions of material and cultural resources, and will be required to take corresponding protections regarding projects involving material and cultural resources.

 OP/BP4.37 Safety of Dams The World Bank is concerned with the safety of the new dams funded by it and existing dams directly affiliated to the project funded by it. The World Bank requires borrowers to adopt and implement dam safety measures in connection with the dams’ and related buildings’ design, tendering, construction, operation and maintenance. The Chinese government also has strict requirements on dam safety issue, and has issued Regulation on Management of Reservoirs and Dams Safety, and proposes the principle of “safety first” in

49 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report the construction and management of dams. Construction of dams shall be consistent with the dam safety technical standards enacted by the water authority under the State Council together with competent dam authority. Engineering design is required for the construction of any dam. The engineering design of dams shall be undertaken by the organizations that possess corresponding qualification certificate, and a regular dam safety inspection and appraisal system must be conducted. The above requirements are in accord with the policies of the World Bank.  OP/BP4. 10 Indigenous Peoples The minority ethnic groups in China refer to ethnic groups other than the majority ethnic group in this multi-ethnic nation. In the People’s Republic of China, all the 55 statutorily defined ethnic groups other than Han people, the majority ethnic group, are deemed minority ethnic groups. Certain differences in definition of minority ethnic groups exist between the World Bank (Indigenous People, OP/BP04.10) and China. The World Bank defines minority ethnic group as having the following attributes: 1) The group alleges and is deemed by others to be specific cultural group in the region covered by the project. 2) Primarily attached to the ancestral domains and their natural resources in the region covered by the project. 3) Have the traditional cultural, economic, social and political organizations that are distinguished from those of the mainstream society in the region covered by the project. 4) Have its own language that is different from the main language or official language used in the region covered by the project. As illustrated from the above definition of minority ethnic group given by the World Bank, such definition mainly applies to any minority ethnic group that is primarily attached to a certain region and has its own distinct culture and language, while the statutorily defined minority ethnic groups in China that are not primarily attached to a certain region as a group and have no substantial difference from the local major ethnic groups in terms of life style, language will not fall under the definition given by the World Bank regarding minority ethnic group (Indigenous People, OP/BP4.10). The definition of minority ethnic 50 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report group given by the World Bank will not apply to Hunan Province County Integrated Management of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project.  OP4.12 Involuntary resettlementand resettlement In principle, the involuntary resettlementpolicy in the World Bank Operation Guidance Principles, OP4.12, are not substantially different from those in China. In general, the involuntary resettlementpolicy in the World Bank Operation Guidance Principles, OP4.12, are consistent with those in China in terms of purposes, principles and general procedures. Both take efforts to avoid or minimize involuntary resettlementto ensure the long-term livelihood of prospective displaced person, and take actions to restore the living standards of involuntary displaced person to their previous standards. In connection with the implementation of involuntary resettlementand resettlement, both parties focus both on compensation and restoration, supervision and evaluation. However, certain differences exist in terms of specific policies as set out below: Firstly, the World Bank’s policies on involuntary resettlement covers associated facilities. In that regard, the World Bank raises concerns on not only involuntary displaced person covered by the lending Project but also on involuntary displaced person that are associated with the project (that is linked project), while in China the land acquisition and resettlement policies do not cover linked project regarding the project. Secondly, differences regarding compensation paid to legal or illegal buildings and illegal occupants. Generally, under the policies in China, only legal affected buildings or displaced person may be entitled to the compensation. In contrast, according to requirements of the World Bank, irrespective of whether the affected buildings or displaced person or illegal occupants are recognized by law, they shall be entitled to compensation or necessary and appropriate resettlement allowance or assistance depending on specific situation. Thirdly, differences regarding compensation standards. The World Bank OP4.12 requires the compensation in the form of full replacement cost or by exchanging assets for the affected houses and other assets. However, the World Bank also provides that, if the resettlement cost can not be compensated in accordance with the regulations in the nation in which the project is located, then other necessary measures shall be taken to satisfy the 51 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report principle of full replacement cost. This policy does not allow the depreciation of asset value, therefore the compensation standards applicable to World-bank-funded Projects are generally higher than those applicable to domestic Projects. Fourthly, differences in public participation. Policies and regulations enacted by the Chinese government regarding public participation and consultation are less clearly specified than the World Bnak requirements. Other than for hydropower plant projects, polices and regulations in China do not require participation by affected people in the resettlement action plan. In comparison, the World Bank has express requirements regarding the public’s (especially affected people’s) participation in the project design, resettlement plan, implementation, monitoring and evaluation and the public complaint system, and includes it as a part of information disclosure. The World Bank encourages the project owners to prepare resettlement manuals and distribute them to the public (especially the affected people). Most of civil works conducted by Hunan Province’s Integrated Management of Agricultural Contaminated Land Project is located in the project-covered villages and does not require land expropriation or relocation, and does not involve involuntary resettlement.

 OP/BP7. 50 Projects on International Waterways In connection with each international waterway Project, the World Bank requires the agreement or covenant entered into between the beneficiary state and other waterway owning states to include all related issues; and requires that other waterway owning states to give positive reply to the beneficiary state or the World Bank to express their affirmation, non-objection or support of the project or confirm that the project will not prejudice their interests, and that under all other circumstances, the project shall be evaluated by the personnel from the World Bank to make sure not to pose any substantial hazards to other waterway owning states or any major hazards out of water use to those states. In China, there is no law in that regard, so if any Project involves any international waterway, OP/BP7.50, Sub-category, International Waterway shall be referenced.

 OP/BP7. 60 Projects in Disputed Areas The World Bank may fund any Project in a disputed area, as long as under the consent of the government of relevant state. In case of dispute resolution, the project contemplated 52 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report to be carried out in State A will be conducted not to the detriment of the interests of State B. Currently, China has no such laws, so if any Project involves any disputed area, OP/BP7.60, Disputed Area Projects, shall be referenced. (2) Soil Environment Quality Standards Table 2-2 has listed the heavy metal content limits in agricultural land soil adopted by certain states and international organizations. The comparison reveals that, the secondary level of limits for cadmium under Chinese Soil Environment Quality Standard, GB 15618-1995, applicable to agricultural land is 0.30 (pH<7.5), which is more stringent than international agricultural soil environment standard limits. The setting of standard and selection of control indices vary from country to country due to the differences in management structure, actual soil environment problems and economic and technical conditions, and the foundational work for such standard setting and such selection is large amount of basic study of soil environment and survey and monitoring of soil and related media pollution. Therefore, the soil environment standard adopted for this Project shall be prepared based on Chinese soil foundational study, in light of the pollution status and management needs and the circumstances in China, and the Environment Quality Standard for Soils, GB15618-1995, adopted in China shall apply to this Project.

Pollutant content limit in food is affected by impact of agricultural production and geographic location, features and control of food contaminants, environment pollution status, resident dietary and consumption patterns. The National Standards for Food Safety: Contaminant Limit in Foods adopted by the PRC, GB 2762-2012, is adopted by reference to CAC standard, after a risk evaluation based on the food contaminant monitoring and overall dietary survey data in China as well as in light of the features of staple foods and heavy metal pollution in China. The main purpose of this Project is to lower the content of cadmium in rice produced in agricultural land in China, therefore the agricultural product safety standard adopted by this Project shall be subject to the National Standards for Food Safety: Contaminant Limit in Foods adopted by the PRC, GB 2762-2012.

Chapter 4 Current Environment State

4.1 Natural Environment

4.1.1 Geographical Location

Hunan Province is located in central China and middle reaches of Yangtze River; As the major part is located in the south of Dongting Lake, it is named as “Hunan”; in addition, as the largest river Xiangjiang River flows through the whole province, it is short for

“Xiang” whose capital is Changsha. Hunan is located in 108°47′E-114°15′E and 24°38′N-30°08′N. The straight-line distance from the east to the west is 667km and the straight-line distance between the south and north is 774km. Its total area is 211,800km2, accounting for 2.2% of national land area. The heavy metal pollution of soil in Hunan Province is mainly shown as “one basin and two areas”. One basin: Xiangjiang River basin; two areas: south Hunan area and west Hunan area. The distributive characteristic of the 12 project counties of Integrated

Management of Contaminated Agricultural Land Project are shown in Fig. 4-1. Anhua County, Hengnan County, Yizhang County and Lengshuitan District are located in “one basin” area of Xiangjiang River; Jishou City, Yongshun County, Baojing County, Huayuan County, Cili County and Zhongfang County, Huaihua City are located in west Hunan area; Yizhang County, Linwu County, , Hengnan County, Lengshuitan District and Qiyang County are located in south Hunan area. Refer to Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1 Map of Key Polluted Area in Hunan Province

4.1.2 Landform

Hunan Province’s landforms are various but mainly mountains and hills.They could be divided roughly into “70% hills, 20% water and 10% field”; Mountainous occupies 51.2% of total area of the whole province, hills and downlands occupy 29.3%, plains occupies 13.1% and water occupies 6.4%. Three sides of Hunan Province are surrounded by maintains to form asymmetric horseshoe shape from east, south and west sloping to northeast. The lowest point in Hunan is Huanggai Lake in Linxiang County with altitude of 24m; the highest point is Huping Mountain in Shimen with altitude of 2099m.

4.1.3 Climate

Located in 25°N - 30°N, Hunan has the subtropical monsoon humid climate with annual average temperature of 16-18℃ and annual average rainfall of 1200-1800mm. The climate characteristics could be summarized as : humid climate, distinguished four seasons, sufficient heat; centralized rainfall, changeable temperature in spring, dryness in summer and autumn, short chilly period and long hot period. 67 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals

Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report 4.1.4 Surface Water

Hunan has blue mountains and green rivers with dense river network and developed water system. The total length of rivers inside Hunan is over 99,300km, the basin area is nearly 210,000km2 and its annual average runoff is 162.3 billion m3. The total volume of runoff of Xiangjiang River accounts for 41%, Ruanjiang River accounts for 24.2%, Zishui River accounts for 13.4%, Leishui River accounts for 8.3% and other lake systems account for 13.1%. There are 5,341 rivers with the length over 5km and the area of fresh water reaches13,500km2; Dongting Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in China;

Xiangjiang River, Zishui River, Ruanshui River and Leishui River cover the whole province. Among them, Xiangjiang River is one of seven branches of the Yangtze River and the total amount of natural water resource in the whole Hunan Province is the largest in nine provinces of south China. Except extremely few rivers in south and east Hunan Province belong to the Pearl River and Ganjiang River system, other rivers all belong to Yangtze River. The Province’s water system is mainly represented by Xiangjiang River, Zishui River, Ruanshui River and Leishui River as well as Dongting Lake; they converge into Dongting Lake from the west, south and east to form a fan-shape water system. The highest level and the maximum flow of river generally occur in April and June; the lowest level of all the rivers occurs in November - February in the next year. 4.1.5 Basic Condition of Dams

The implementation of this Project involves field moisture content management optimization, and does not involve the construction of dams of reservoirs of water source; since irrigation water source for part of propject counties involves the existing dams, therefore World Bank’s dam safety policy, OP4.37 is triggered. 27 reservoir dams in the second batch project of Hunan integrated management of agricultural contaminated land project are linked with dam safety policy OP4.37 of World Bank, which are distributed in various place in Hunan Province, including Hengnan County, Anhua County, Cili County, Jishou City, Lengshuitan District, Linwu County, Qiyang County, Yongshun County and Zhongfang County. There are 5 middle-sized reservoirs, 11 small Type-1 reservoirs and 11

4.2 Ecological Environment

4.2.1 Soil Type

As natural conditions in Hunan Province are complicated and its east, south and west are surrounded by maintains; its north is the lack plain while central downland Basin is staggered with huge topographic change. The patent soil materials are diverse and it enjoys a long history in agriculture; both horizontal and vertical band spectrum distribution principle and various structural forms of regional distribution exist in soil distribution. The soil in the whole province is divided into zonal soil and azonal soil. There are 9 soil types, 24 sub-types, 111 soil debris and 418 soil species.The zonal soil is mainly red soil and yellow soil which is mainly divided by Donglu Line, Xuefeng Mountain, Wulingyuan; the east side of line is mainly red soil while its west is yellow soil. The azonal soil is mainly moisture soil, rice soil, limestone soil, purple soil,etc. Red soil is the main soil in Hunan whose area is about 36.3% of total land area of Hunan Province; generally, its soil layer is deep with strong acidity and small organic matter; it is sufficient in Fe and Al while it lacks nutrient and fertility is low. It is mainly distributed in hills and mountains in the east of Xuefeng Mountain, Wuling and Xiangjiang River and Zishui River area, which is suitable for developing oil tea, tea, orange and other cash crops. The area of yellow soil accounts for 15.4% of total land area in Hunan Province, which is mainly distributed in Xuefeng Mountain and Nanling Mountain area. The soil presents acid reaction whose natural fertility is higher than that of red soil. Moisture soil is formed by river and lake sediments with deep soil layer, appropriate texture, rich nutrient and wide adaptability and the major part has been cultivated as rice soil. Moisture soil (excellent dry soil) only occupies 2.5% of total land area of Hunan Province. Rice soil and moisture soil are distributed in Dongting Lake area and costal area of Xiangjiang River, Zishui River, Ruanshui River and Leishui River, which are suitable for developing rice, cotton, fiber crops, rape and other cash crops. The area of limestone soil accounts for 6.9% of total land area of Hunan Province, which is mainly distributed in Wuling Mountain area in northwest Hunan and

79 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report limestone area in central and south Hunan; the topsoil is nearly neutral with bountiful content of limestone which is suitable for growth of tung tree, sapium sebiferum, raw lacquer and cypress. The area of purple soil is about 1,333,300 hectares, mainly distributed in Hengyang Basin and Ruanma Basin and accounting for 6.3% of total land area in Hunan Province. Purple soil is full of phosphorus and potassium, suitable for growth of cash crops.

4.2.2 Soil Organic Matter

The content of organic matter in soil of typical agricultural land in Hunan Province is pretty bountiful. The content of organic matter of topsoil 0-20cm of typical agricultural land in Hunan Province is mainly in Level-I, II and III. Its scope of content is 8-66.1g/kg with average value of 30.43g/kg. The content of organic matter≥20g/kg accounts for 88.8%; the content of organic matter≥30g/kg accounts for 44.4%; the content of organic matter<20g/kg accounts for 11.2%. The scope of organic matter of underearth 20-100cm soil is 3.9-41.9g/kg with average content of 11.91 g/kg; the content of organic matter is mainly distributed in 6-19.9g/kg.

4.2.3 Content of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in Soil

The total nitrogen content of typical agricultural land soil 0-20cm and 20-100cm in Hunan Province is 1.79g/kg and 0.82g/kg respectively. The average content of total phosphorus of typical agricultural land soil 0-20cm and 20-100cm is 0.56g/kg and 0.44g/kg respectively. The scope of content of effective phosphorus in 0-20cm soil of agricultural land topsoil is among 2.53-92.2 mg/kg with average content of 17.01mg/kg; the scope of content of effective phosphorus in 0-20cm soil in bottom layer is among

1.9-29.9 mg/kg with average content of 8.2 mg/k. The average content of all potassium of typical agricultural land topsoil 0-20cm is 17.13g/kg; the average content of all potassium of 20-100cm soil is 17.17g/kg.

4.2.4 Soil pH

The typical agricultural land topsoil in Hunan Province is mainly acid soil, and the

80 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report range of pH value is 5-7, while the subsoil is mainly micro-acid soil to micro-alkaline soil. There are two possible main reasons resulting in soil acidification in Hunan Province: Atmospheric environmental pollution results in the increase of acid sedimentation so the speed of soil acidification in the area influenced by acid sedimentation is accelerated;inappropriate agricultural measures accelerate soil acidification.

4.2.5 Agricultural ecology

There are many people in Hunan while the land is limited so the pressure on protection of cultivated land and occupation complement balance is huge; in addition, the multiple crop index of cultivated land and the stock capacity is large; productive infrastructure is generally old and transport infrastructure in some villages is still weak.

Meanwhile, water loss and soil erosion, water and soil pollution and other problems are very prominent due to excessive exploitation of natural resources and excessive application of fertilizer, pesticide, agricultural film and other chemical products which not only makes field weaker and weaker, but results in serious surface source pollution and white pollution; in addition, industrial pollution and domestic sewage pollution are serious, so agricultural environment problems are becoming more and more serious, which seriously endangers sustainable agricultural development and quality and security of agricultural products; in particular, the influence of “rice contamined by Cadmium” accident in 2012 on grain production in Hunan is not completely eliminated until now.

94 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report 4.4 Survey on Pollutant Source in Demonstration Area

1. Pollutant source

(1) Baojing County Baojing County is located in central Wuling Mountain with bountiful mineral resources. Mining, smelting and other small or micro enterprises or individual workshops emerged in Baojing County since 1970s; there were over 150 free sewage discharge production sites at peak and waste water generated by mining of some historical industrial ore was directly discharged into nearby river without being processed or reaching standard after being processed, which polluted the environment. In addition, the problem that cultivated land and water resource polluted by heavy metal residues resulted from closing mineral processing site and sporadic mining sites under the role of blowing, raining and leaching is prominent which threatens water quality and production of agricultural products. Main source of heavy metal pollution in cultivated land in Baojing County is the emission of “the three wastes” generated by historical mining and mineral processing with pollution channel that pollutant enters into irrigation water and historical sewage irrigation results in heavy metal pollution in soil. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Baojing County is historical pollutant source of lead zinc ore, mercury ore and vanadium ore mining and mineral processing with main part of sediment introduction through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (2) Jishou City The metal and mineral resources in Jishou are bountiful, especially for production of manganese ore. In the past, residues of smelting plants, electrolytic manganese enterprises and other enterprises involved in heavy metal pollution are directly piled openly without

95 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report proper treatment; as time goes by, the bottom layer of slagheap and surrounded soil are polluted by heavy metal under the role of rain and filtration liquid. During the smelting process of nonferrous metal, large amount of heavy metal, suspended substances and acid are included in generated waste water; waste water containing heavy metal is directly discharged into Donghe River and Wanrong River due to backward processing process which pollutes rivers; while Donghe River and Wanrong River are irrigation water sources of major cultivated lands in Jishou so agricultural land soils are polluted; in addition, the background value of heavy metal in soil in Jishou City is pretty high, resulting in heavy metal in large area of soil exceeding standard. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Jishou City is historical pollutant source of smelting enterprises with main part of sediment introduction through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis; in addition, waste gas containing heavy metal emitted by historical smelting enterprises is settled on soil. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (3) Yongshun County There were coal ore exploitation, iron ore exploitation and smelting and other mining enterprises involved in emission of heavy metal pollution along the history of Yongshun County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture. Among them, the history of mining, mineral processingand smelting is long; heavy metals in discharged waste water are deposited in sediment of channel and heavy metals in waste gas are deposited in soil and water through atmospheric sedimentation due to restriction of technical conditions, recognition level, supervision force and other elements in different historical development levels. They enter into surface water, soil and ground water with surface runoff and discharged heavy metals are gradually accumulated in environment as they are not degradable so that heavy metal concentration in soil, sediment and water is risen continuously and pollution is gradually aggravated so as to result in heavy metal pollution accident.

96 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report

The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Yongshun County is historical mining which is brought by sediment introduction through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis; in addition, waste gas containing heavy metal emitted by historical smelting enterprises is settled on soil. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land.

(4) Huayuan County Huayuan County is located in central section of Wuling Mountain with bountiful mineral resources in side the county; in particular, the reserves of manganese ore and lead zinc ore are huge. There were at most over 200 small and micro mining and smelting enterprises or individual workshops with free sewage discharge whose annual emitted amount of “three wastes” is over 10,000t. Waste water, residue and waste gas emission generated by smelting enterprises inside the county has become important factor influencing regional environmental quality. Waste water generated by mining of some historical industrial ore was directly discharged into nearby river without being processed or reaching standard after being processed, which polluted the environment. In addition, the problem that cultivated land and water resource polluted by heavy metal residues resulted from closing mineral processing site and sporadic mining sites under the role of blowing, raining and leaching is prominent which threatens water quality and production of agricultural products. Main source of heavy metal pollution in cultivated land in Huayuan County is the emission of “the three wastes” generated by historical mining and mineral processing with pollution channel that pollutant enters into irrigation water and historical sewage irrigation results in pollution of heavy metal in soil. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Huayuan County is historical pollutant source of smelting enterprises of lead zinc ore which is brought by sediment through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis; in addition, waste gas containing heavy metal emitted by historical smelting

97 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report enterprises is settled on soil. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (5) Cili County In Cili County, the proportion of industrial activity and agricultural activity in heavy metal pollution risk is large along the history. Following main resources contribute to heavy metal pollution in agricultural land: residues of mining enterprises piled openly, direct discharge of waste water into water without being processed and emission of waste gas and dust. In industrial source, residues are openly piled without being properly processed; as the time goes by, soil in bottom layer of slagheap and surrounded soil is polluted by heavy metal pollution with the role of rain wash and filtration liquid; when it is piled for long term, dust shall be generated due to dry surface which shall damage the atmospheric environment. With the role of surrounded mineral enterprises, discharged dust containing heavy metal shall enter into surface soil with dry and wet sedimentation of dust. Heavy metals as well as SO2, sulfuric acid mist and other pollutants are included in dust emitted by enterprises involved in heavy metal enterprises which shall make rainfall acidized and dissolved part of heavy metal higher. As the process of processing technology of waste water is simple and the effect is unstable in the past, waste water discharged by mineral enterprises shall pollute water; in addition, the utilization of surface water polluted by heavy metal as irrigation water pollutes agricultural land, resulting in heavy metals in agricultural crops exceeding standard.

The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Cili County is historical mining and smelting pollutant source which is brought by sediment through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis; in addition, waste gas containing heavy metal emitted by historical smelting enterprises is settled on soil. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as

98 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (6) Zhongfang County There were coal ore exploitation, electrolytic manganese, papermaking enterprises and other mineral enterprises involved in heavy metal pollution emission in the history of Zhongfang County, Huaihua City. It has long history in mining, mineral processing and smelting; heavy metals in discharged waste water are deposited in sediment of channel and heavy metals in waste gas are deposited in soil and water through atmospheric sedimentation due to restriction of technical conditions, recognition level, supervision force and other elements in different historical development levels. They enter into surface water, soil and ground water with surface runoff and discharged heavy metals are gradually accumulated in environment as they are not degradable so that heavy metal concentration in soil, sediment and water rose continuously and pollution is gradually aggravated so as to result in heavy metal pollution accident. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Zhongfang

County is historical mining and smelting pollutant source with main part of sediment introduction through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis; in addition, waste gas containing heavy metal emitted by historical smelting enterprises is settled on soil. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (7) Anhua County

Smelting, coal ore, tungsten ore, brickfield, processing, production and other small and micro enterprises or individual workshops emerged with reform and opening up since 1980s; there were 60 free sewage discharge production sites at peak period before and after 2010 with annually discharged “three wastes” over 50,000t. Among them, pollution caused by “the three wastes” discharged by gold smelting, mining sulphur pentoxide, manganese zinc and copper smelting, paper-making, plastics processing and other industries is pretty

99 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report serious. Sewage production enterprises with pretty large scope are mainly in Kuixi Town closed to Xupu, Qingtangpu Town closed to and Dongping Town closed to county town. When previous enterprises and small workshops pollute surrounded cultivated land in discharging residues, discharged waste water flows into nearby river and then flows into Zishui River as irrigation water source to further pollute more agricultural land. In addition, in the past 30 years, large amount of calcium phosphate fertilizers were applied to agricultural land; calcium superphosphate and phosphate rock powder with poor quality in phosphate fertilizer contained cadmium with low content which made pollution of heavy metal in agricultural land heavier. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Anhua County is historical pollutant source of coal ore and zinc lead ore which is brought by sediment through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis; in addition, waste gas containing heavy metal emitted by historical smelting enterprises is settled on soil. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (8) Hengnan County There are many non ferrous, metallurgy and chemical enterprises in Hengnan County since 1950s. There are over 70 smelting mineral enterprises inside the county; in addition, partial mineral enterprise pollution brought from upstream of Leishui River results in

“three wastes” pollution of mineral enterprise to different degrees and the pollution has been spread from urban to rural area. As production management of some enterprises is nonstandard and sewage prevention and governance is not useful, illegal sewage discharge cannot be banned, resulting in soil pollution in the area around mineral enterprises and irrigated by Leishui River is very severe. The use of fertilizer in Hengnan County is very high; through the accumulation of many years, content of heavy metal in soil is increased continuously; meanwhile, pesticides used in the county are mainly those with too high content of arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium, resulting in soil pollution becoming

100 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report heavier continuously. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Hengnan County is historical pollutant source of arsenic smelting plant, gypsum ore plant, iron ore, tungsten ore smelting plant and pig farm through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land.

(9) Yizhang County In industrial source, residues of mining, mineral processing, tanning and other industries involved in heavy metal pollution enterprises are directly piled openly without being properly handled; with the time goes by, soil in bottom layer of slagheap and surrounded soil is polluted by heavy metal pollution with the role of rain wash and filtration liquid. During the smelting process of nonferrous metal, large amount of heavy metal, suspended substances and acid are contained in generated waste water; waste water containing heavy metal is directly discharged into Wushui River, Changle River and Zhangshui River due to backward processing process which pollutes rivers; while Wushui River, Changle River and Zhangshui River are irrigation water sources of major cultivated lands in Yizhang County so agricultural land soils are polluted. Meanwhile, when residues of smelting plant are piled for long term, dust shall be generated due to dry surface which damages atmospheric environment; in addition, it shall enter into surface soil with dry and wet sedimentation of smelting dust with dust containing heavy metal discharged by smelting plant. In the past 30 years, 600-700kg calcium superphosphate was applied for rice per hectare/season which was reduced continuously after lasting about 10 years, while about 6000t calcium superphosphate was applied in the county in 2014. Calcium superphosphate with poor quality in phosphate fertilizer and low content of cadmium in phosphate rock powder may promote heavy metal pollution in agricultural land. In addition, discharge of cultivation wastes in scale livestock farm within the scope of 500m around Wushui River, Changle River and Zhangshui River is also component of pollution risk of

101 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report agricultural land. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Yizhang County is mainly pollutant source of lead zinc ore mineral processing and tannery caused by historical sewage irrigation through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land.

(10) Linwu County Linwu County has long history in mining industry for many years; during the peak period, there are over 400 various mining tunnels and 480 mineral processing plants and attached slot with many pollutant sources. Heavy metals in discharged waste water are deposited in sediment of channel which flow into surface water and soil with surface runoff due to restriction of technical conditions, recognition level, supervision force and other elements in different historical development levels. In the past, residues of mining, mineral processing, and other industries involved in heavy metal pollution enterprises are directly piled openly without being properly handled; with the time goes by, soil in bottom layer of slagheap and surrounded soil is polluted by heavy metal pollution with the role of rain wash and filtration liquid. Discharged heavy metal is gradually accumulated in the environment due to its non-degradability; in addition, the background value of heavy metal in soil in the county is pretty high, resulting in heavy metal in large area of soil exceeds standard. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Linwu

County is historical pollutant source of mineral processing of lead zinc ore which is brought by sediment through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land.

(11) Lengshuitan District The development of industrial and urban construction in Lengshuitan District is rapid since reform and opening up that various plants are constructed along two banks of Xiangjiang River continuously and over 150 institutions with pollutant emission constructed in narrow corridor inside the area; there are 25 drain outlets along the river and discharge amount of sewage and waste water is 20 million tons each year. Mineral resources in Lengshuitan District are pretty bountiful and there are many smelting enterprises inside the area. Discharge of waste water, residues and waste gas generated by smelting enterprise has become main factors influencing regional environmental quality and some suburb areas are used for piling domestic garbage and industrial residues. Waste water generated by some industrial enterprises is directly discharged in nearby rivers without being processed or reaching standard after being processed which shall pollute the environment; in addition, agricultural land pollution and water resource pollution of heavy metal residues left by closed smelting enterprises under the role of blowing, raining and leaching is prominent which greatly threatens water quality and production of agricultural product; dust containing heavy metal discharged by smelting plant enters into surface soil with dry and wet sedimentation of smelting dust. The main source of heavy metal pollution in agricultural land in Lengshuitan District is discharge of “three wastes” generated by historical smelting enterprises with main pollution channel of water type and atmospheric dust fall and main pollutants of cadmium as well as arsenic, mercury and lead, etc. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Lengshuitan

District is historical pollutant source of iron core and manganese ore exploitation which is brought by sediment through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. (12) Qiyang County There are bountiful mineral resources in Qiyang County which is called “the land of

103 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report nonferrous metal” with main mineral resources of coal, iron, manganese, antimony, zinc and tin ore. Exploitation of iron ore, manganese ore, tin ore and other metal mineral involved in heavy metal pollution occurred in the history with distribution of 48 ores whose mining and mineral processing history is long. Heavy metals in discharged waste water are deposited in sediment of channel and heavy metals in waste gas are deposited in soil and water through atmospheric sedimentation due to restriction of technical conditions, recognition level, supervision force and other elements in different historical development levels. They enter into surface water, soil and ground water with surface runoff and discharged heavy metals are gradually accumulated in environment as they are not degradable so that heavy metal concentration in soil, sediment and water is risen continuously and pollution is gradually aggravated so as to result in heavy metal pollution accident. The current agricultural land pollution of selected demonstration area in Qiyang County is historical pollutant source of iron, manganese and tin ore exploitation which is brought by sediment through on-site survey, public consultation and material collection and analysis. These historical pollutant sources are closed and left ore residues are cleared when they are closed through on-site survey; now, there is no tailings reservoir or residue piling as well as left issues of mining and mineral processing, which won’t result in new heavy metal pollution to downstream agricultural land. 2.

Chapter 5 Analysis of Impacts on Social Environment and Mitigation Measures (ECOP and Specified Point Mitigation Measures)

5.1 Analysis on Impacts of the Project Civil works Construction Activities and Mitigation Measures

The civil works construction activities of the integrated management Project of agricultural land pollution in Project Counties can be divided into two categories: ① Small-scale civil works construction including the front sedimentation basin, electric pumping station construction, impounding reservoir, motor-pumped well and small-scale field road maintenance (Reinforce the pavement level off only, and no increase the width and Length of road); ②The field irrigation facility construction including the drainage canal and irrigation canal renovation and the ecological intercepting ditch construction. The project civil works activities have impact on water environment, atmospheric environment, acoustic environment and ecological environment during construction.

The civil construction activities of the project counties are small-scale civil construction activities. The project is located around agricultural lands and there is no environmentally sensitive area inside or around the project area. The scale of the project is very small. The number of construction workers for the project is no more than 5 – 10. There is no need to build construction camps, and land acquisition, demolition and ethnic minorities are not involved. Dust, noise, waste water, solid waste, etc. may be produced during the construction process, but these effects are temporary and little. They are limited to a very small area of the construction area, and the impact disappears immediately after the construction is finished.

5.1.1 Analysis on Impacts of Water Environment during Construction

Waste water during construction mainly includes construction wastewater and domestic sewage of constructors.

147 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report The construction waste water of this project mainly includes water seepage of foundation pit excavation, concrete mixing waste water, concrete curing waste water, sand and gravel washing waste water, machinery oil-bearing waste water, etc. During channel engineering construction, the amount of waste water generated is relatively small, and the pollution factors of waste water are mainly SS, petroleum, cod, etc. The main pollutants of domestic sewage are COD, BOD5 and SS. The project’s construction personnel rely on nearby villages for food and lodging. According to the actual living conditions in the local villages, domestic sewage is collected in septic tanks and regularly removed for use as agricultural fertilizer. The arbitrary discharge of construction wastewater without any treatment will cause a certain amount of pollution to soil and surface water. Especially in rainy weather, it will have a greater influence on the surface water environment, but it will not bring heavy metal contamination. During the channel construction process, the sediment in the water will be disturbed and the SS concentration in the water will rise, which will have a short-term impact on the downstream water environment and agricultural land irrigation. Such projects should avoid the irrigation period of agricultural land. Reasonable construction methods need to be adopted to shorten the construction time as much as possible, and minimize the impact on water.

5.1.2 Analysis on Impacts of Ambient Air during Construction

The project construction has concentrated impact on ambient air. The ambient air pollution mainly comes from the construction dust. During the construction, canal excavation, dregs transportation and loading, site clean-up and field construction will produce raised dust. The construction sites of the project are dispersed and the scale of the construction site in each demonstration area is small. Therefore, the construction dust produced is only in a small amount. Usually it only has some impact on the constructors. After the watering and dust suppression measures are taken, its impact on the regional environment is slight.

148 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report 5.1.3 Analysis on Impacts of Acoustic Environment during Construction

The noises during the construction are the noise on the construction site and the traffic noise during material transportation. ① The Noise on the Construction Site The noises on the construction site mainly include the mechanical equipment noise and the impact noise during material loading such as shoveling and transportation, concreting, earth-rock filling as well as aggregated rock and gravel loading etc. Since the construction machinery is in mobile outdoor operation and has no sound insulation measures, it will have some impacts on the residents living around the construction site. ② The Traffic Noise The truck will be mainly used as the transportation vehicle during the construction. The maximum noise intensity of a truck can reach 90dB(A). The construction sites of the project are dispersed, the work amount of each demonstration area is small and there are not so many transportation vehicles. Therefore, the traffic noise in the construction transportation is intermittent and transient.

The work amount in each demonstration area of the project is small and dispersed, the noises produced during the construction is intermittent and transient. In addition, the construction is only conducted during the daytime and the construction sites are normally over 200m away from the centralized settlement of the village. Therefore, the impact of the noises is slight. By strengthening management and taking corresponding environmental control measures, its impact can be minimized.

5.1.4 Analysis on Impacts of Solid Wastes during Construction

The solid wastes during the construction are mainly the temporarily stockpiled dregs for foundation excavation during the renovation of drainage and irrigation canals and the construction of front sedimentation basins, ecological intercepting ditches and field road maintenance as well as the domestic wastes produced by the constructors. If no preventive measures are taken to the dregs, they will affect the landscape. In rainy seasons, they will cause water and soil loss; in windy and dry weather, they will produce

149 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report flying dust. If the domestic wastes are not treated in time, they will breed mosquitoes in mild temperature and cause a stink and transmit diseases, thus having adverse impacts on the surrounding environment. The drainage channel and irrigation channel project mainly consists of the reconstruction and hardening of the original channel and reinforcement is conducted by “masonry + concrete”. The design volume of the front sedimentation tank is 4m3, and the quantity of work is small, so that the excavation can be used for canal construction; the ecological intercepting ditch is mainly built based on the original ditch. Water purification, sediment and floating objects interception can be achieved through planting aquatic plants and setting up multi-stage intercepting dams in the passing ditch. The field roads to be maintained in each project county are relatively short and it will not increase the width and length of the road surface. The road surface is sand and gravel road surface. Earth and stone work can be balanced in each section. The sub-project areas of each project county are mountainous and hilly areas, and the quantities of each project site are not large. The excavated muck can be leveled and absorbed in situ; the amount of domestic waste generated by construction personnel is small, which is collected centrally on the construction site and cleaned and transported away by the construction party in a timely manner, thus having little impact on the surrounding environment. The channel of this project needs to be dredged before it is hardened, and the sediment of the channel will be removed during this process. During the construction process, the project plans to set up temporary sedimentation tanks at the low-lying wasteland of each construction section to be used for air drying of channel sediment, and then carry out the next disposal after the sediment is solid.

The five factors, including Cd, Pb, As, Cr and Hg in the sediment, all meet the secondary standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618 - 1995), the sediment is leveled and backfilled near the depression, which has basically no influence on the surrounding soil environment. If one or more of the five elements in the sediment exceed the secondary standard of the Environmental Quality Standard for Soils

150 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report (GB15618 - 1995), but are lower than the level three standard, the sediment will be transported to the forest land near each village for consumption after being dried, and will be used for soil fertilization of forest land, with little impact on forest land soil. If one or more of the five elements in the sediment exceed the level three standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618 - 1995), the sediment must be transported to a landfill site for sanitary landfill after air drying. Such sediment can be safely disposed. Among the channels to be dredged in each county, see Table 5-1 for the content of

Cd, Pb, As, Cr and Hg in the sediment exceed the secondary standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618 - 1995) for details. Different measures are taken to deal with the over-standard degree of the sediment. Through above measures, the sediment removed from the channel dredging of this project can be properly disposed with little impact on the environment.

5.1.5 Analysis on Impacts on Ecological Environment during Construction

The construction work of this project mainly includes drainage channel, irrigation

155 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report channel reconstruction, sedimentation tank construction and field road maintenance. The drainage channel and irrigation channel of this project are reconstructed from the original drainage channel and no additional land will be used. Maintenance of field roads does not increase the width and length of roads and does not involve land acquisition. The land for the pre-settling tank is very small, and it is planned to be built on vacant land in the demonstration area, which does not involve land acquisition. During the construction period, the storage of construction sites, temporary storage yards of muck and construction building materials will need temporary land occupation, which will affect the ecological factors such as vegetation and soil environment within the scope of its influence. Occupation of the construction site, mechanical rolling and personnel activities can destroy the surface vegetation and soil structure and reduce the ecosystem function. During excavation and filling, a certain area of surface vegetation will be stripped off from the land, which will easily cause local surface vegetation damage, while waste soil stacking will inevitably cause soil erosion. Therefore, temporary soil erosion will be caused during the construction of the project.

There is no large area of land occupied in this project. After the construction period, the temporary construction area can be reclaimed and planted immediately, which has little impact on land utilization.

156 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report 5.1.7 Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures of Project Construction Activities on Specific Points

If the content of heavy metals in dredged sediment meets the secondary standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618-1995), its purpose is to ensure that the soil quality meets the requirements of safeguarding human health and agricultural production, such sediment will be used on site. If the content of heavy metals exceeds the secondary standard but is lower than level three standard, such sediment will be used in forest land with the aim is to protect the normal growth of trees and agricultural crops (including vegetables); if the content of heavy metals exceeds the level three standard, it is the minimum requirement for beneficiaries to use the soil. After air drying, such sediment will be transported to the local landfill site designed and constructed to meet the relevant sanitary landfill standards for landfill. (1) Influence of Over-standard Dredged Sediment on Forest Land and Orchard The heavy metal content in the irrigation sediment in the selected project area exceeds the secondary standard of the Environmental Quality Standard for Soils

(GB15618-1995), but below the level three standard are: Mawang Village, Bize Village, Xiaba Village, Heping Village, Nazong Village, Zhongba Village, Shuitian Village, in Baojing County, Paixiong Village, and Jilue Village in Jishou City, , Shangping Village in Yongshun County, Ganggang Village, Longmen Village, Jinrong Village, Wanggao Village, Xinzhai Village, Maoer Village in Huayuan County, Dongyueguan Town, Yangliupu Village, Gaoqiao Town, Sanhekou Town, Luyang Town, Tongwan Town,

Tongmu Town in Zhongfang County, Yushui Village in Anhua County, Jiebei Village,

See Table 5-1 for details of the specific situation and the amount of sediment exceeding the standard. The heavy metal content in the sediment meets the requirements of forest soil. After dried off, the sediment was transported to

157 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report forest land nearby villages for consumption, which was used for fertilization in forest land. The transport vehicles were covered with tarpaulins to prevent falling. The project counties selected in this project are all in the “one line and two pieces” area of Hunan Province. Most of them are mountainous and hilly areas and are of continental subtropical monsoon humid climate with high forest coverage. The village groups in each project county have their own plots of forest land. The forest land area of each village is 5,000 - 28,000 mu, while the amount of sediment that each village needs to consume is only about 2 t to 10 t. Its forest land can completely absorb sediment.

Forest land soil implements the level three standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618-1995). However, the sediment consumed meets the level three standard, so the impact of these sediment on forest land in the project county is acceptable. (2) Influence of Over-Standard Dredged Sediment on Domestic Waste Landfill Site The contents of heavy metals in irrigation sediments in the selected project area exceed the three-level standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Soils

5.2 Analysis on Surrounding and Upstream Pollution Sources and Mitigation Measures

5.2.1 Investigation and Analysis on Surrounding and Upstream Pollution Sources

(1) Pollution Sources in Baojing County demonstration area and Its Surroundings Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, agricultural land pollution in the selected demonstration area of Baojing County belongs to historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment. There were two lead-zinc mineral processing enterprises (both 50,000 tons / year in scale and closed in 2008) and private mining activities in the surrounding and upper reaches of the salt well

160 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report demonstration area (in the 1980s, the slag from the historical mining field has been cleared up); in past, in the upper reaches of Xiaba demonstration area, there were lead - zinc mining activities (in 1990s, there were 4 - 5 private mining sites which were closed due to the lack of scale); private mining activities for lead-zinc and Hg mines occurred in the upper reaches of the Nadong demonstration area (mining time was short and closed in the 1970s and 1980s); private Hg mining activities occurred in the upper reaches of the Zhongba demonstration area (closed in the 1950s); private mining activities for lead-zinc and Hg mines occurred in the upper reaches of the Nadong demonstration area (mining time was short and closed in the 1970s and 1980s); private Hg mining activities occurred in the upper reaches of the Zhongba demonstration area (closed in the 1950s); the upstream of the rammed sand demonstration area saw the emergence of civilian mining activities for vanadium ores (on a smaller scale, there were 12 private mining holes and these private mining activities for vanadium ores were successively closed in 2004 and 2005, and the local government cleaned and sealed the mine holes). After on-site investigations, all these historical pollution sources have been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up during the shutdown. There is no tailings reservoir, no waste residue piled up, and there is no problem left over from mining and mineral processing . Basically, no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the agricultural land downstream. (2) Jishou City Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, the agricultural land pollution in the selected demonstration area of Jishou City belongs to historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment, followed by the settlement in soil of heavy metal-containing waste gas discharged by smelting enterprises. In past, in the surrounding and upper reaches of the Ganzhou demonstration area, there were heavy metal-related emission enterprises such as Jishou Branch of Baojing Jianlei Mining Co., Ltd., Xiangxizhou Jinquan Printing Co., Ltd., Datang Mining Co., Ltd., and Rongjiang Manganese Co., Ltd. (these heavy metal-related enterprises were shut down

161 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report from 2010 to 2015 and when these enterprises was shut down, the plant equipment and slag field had been cleaned up, and there were no residue left on site). There was once a Shuangtang Cement Factory in the vicinity of Shuangtang demonstration area (the government forcibly shut down the factory in 2010. After the shutdown, the equipment and slag fields in the factory have been cleaned up, and there is no residue left on the site); In past, in the surrounding area of the Aizhai demonstration area, there were private vanadium mining activities (they were in small scale and forced shut down by the government in 2010. Slag has been cleaned up after shut down, and there is no residue left on site). After on-site investigations, all these historical pollution sources have been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up during the shutdown. There is no tailings reservoir, no waste residue piled up, and there is no problem left over from mining and mineral processing. Basically, no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the agricultural land downstream. (3) Yongshun County Through on-site reconnaissance and data collection and analysis, in past, there was coal mining in the upper reaches of Wanping Town Demonstration Area. There are no smelting enterprises and no tailings reservoir in the surrounding and upper reaches. Coal mining has been closed, slag has been cleared, and no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to agricultural land downstream. Pollution sources in the demonstration area are clear and controllable. (4) Huayuan County

Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, the agricultural land pollution in the selected demonstration area of Huayuan County belongs to historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment, followed by the settlement in soil of heavy metal-containing waste gas discharged by smelting enterprises. In past, in the upstream of Huayuan demonstration area, there was a Tianhe lead-zinc company (it had lead-zinc mines and concentrators and shut down in 2015. Plant equipment and slag field were clean up when shutting down, with no residue left on site)

162 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report and a manganese smelting enterprise (It was shut down in 2010. Plant equipment and slag field were clean up when shutting down, with no residue left and waste water); there were three lead-zinc companies in the upper reaches and around the Longtan demonstration area (they were all shut down around 2014, with no waste residue or waste water left on site); historically, there were no smelting enterprises or mining and dressing enterprises involved in heavy metal emission in the vicinity and upper reaches of the Malichang Demonstration Area. After verification by local farmers, a large amount of inferior calcium phosphate fertilizer was used to bring heavy metal pollution into the region in the last century. In past, there were lead-zinc mine mining activities in the upper reaches of Mao’er demonstration area (the mining field was shut down in 2006, with no residual slag and no residual pollution source) and molybdenum mine private mining activities (appeared in the 1980s to 1990s, with a mining scale of less than 10,000 tons / year. after on-site investigation, the slag in the historical mining field has been cleared up, with no residual slag). After on-site investigations, all these historical pollution sources have been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up when they were shut down. There is no tailings reservoir, no waste residue piled up, and no problems left over from mining and mineral processing, which basically will not cause new heavy metal pollution to the downstream agricultural land. (5) Cili County In past, there were mining enterprises involving heavy metal pollution, such as nickel-molybdenum ore, coal mine and realgar mining in Cili County in City.

The mining, mineral processing and smelting all have a long history. At different stages of historical development, due to the restriction of technical conditions, knowledge level, supervision and other factors, the heavy metals in the discharged wastewater are deposited in the sediment of the ditch channel. The heavy metals in the waste gas settle in the soil and water through the atmosphere and enter the surface water, soil and underground water along with the surface runoff. The non-degradable nature of the discharged heavy metals causes them to accumulate gradually in the environment,

163 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report increasing the concentration of heavy metals in the soil, sediment and water, as well as the pollution, thus causing heavy metal pollution accidents. In past, there was realgar mining in the upper reaches of Sanhe Town Demonstration Area. There were no smelting enterprises in the periphery and the upper reaches and there are no tailings reservoir. Realgar mining has been closed and slag has been cleared. No new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the agricultural land in the lower reaches. In the upper reaches of Tongjinpu Town demonstration area, there was coal mining in history. There were no smelting enterprises in the surrounding and upper reaches or tailings reservoir. Coal mining had been closed and slag had been cleaned up. No new heavy metal pollution would be caused to the agricultural land in the lower reaches. In the upper reaches of Dongyueguan Town demonstration area, there was a history of nickel-molybdenum mining. There were no smelting enterprises or tailings reservoir. Nickel-molybdenum mining had been closed and slag had been cleared. No new heavy metal pollution would be caused to the agricultural land downstream. In past, there were nickel-molybdenum mining activities in the upper reaches of the Gaoqiao Demonstration Area. There are no smelting enterprises in the periphery and the upper reaches or tailings reservoir, nickel-molybdenum mining has been closed, slag has been cleared, and no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the agricultural land in the lower reaches. In past, there were nickel-molybdenum mining activities in the upper reaches of Yangliupu Township Demonstration Area. There are no smelting enterprises or tailings reservoir. Nickel-molybdenum mining has been closed and slag has been cleared. No new heavy metal pollution will be caused to downstream agricultural land. (6) Zhongfang County

In past, there had been mining, electrolytic manganese and paper-making enterprises which are involved in heavy metal pollution emission in Zhongfang County, Huaihua City. The mining, mineral processing and smelting all have a long history. At different stages of historical development, due to the restriction of technical conditions, knowledge level, supervision and other factors, the heavy metals in the discharged

164 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report wastewater are deposited in the sediment of the ditch channel. The heavy metals in the waste gas settle in the soil and water through the atmosphere and enter the surface water, soil and underground water along with the surface runoff. The non-degradable nature of the discharged heavy metals causes them to accumulate gradually in the environment and accumulate over time, increasing the concentration of heavy metals in the soil, sediment and water and increasing the pollution, thus causing heavy metal pollution accidents. Historically, there were coal mining and electrolytic manganese enterprises in the upper reaches of Luyang Town demonstration area. There is no tailings reservoir. Coal mining and electrolytic manganese enterprises have been closed and slag has been cleaned up, which will not cause new heavy metal pollution to the agricultural land in the lower reaches. There are coal mining and papermaking enterprises in the upstream of Tongmu Town demonstration area in history. Tailing pond and coal mining has been closed. Slag has been cleared, and no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the downstream agricultural land. In past, there were coal mining activities in the upper reaches of the newly-built town demonstration area. There were no smelting enterprises or tailings reservoir. Coal mining has been closed and slag has been cleared. No new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the agricultural land in the lower reaches. Tongwan Town demonstration area had coal mining activities in the upper reaches in past. There are no smelting enterprises in the periphery and the upper reaches. There is no tailings reservoir. Coal mining has been closed and slag has been cleaned up. No new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the downstream agricultural land.

(7) Anhua County Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, agricultural land pollution in the selected demonstration area of Anhua County belongs to a historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment, followed by settlement in soil of heavy metal-containing waste gas discharged by smelting enterprises. There is an antimony smelting enterprise in the upper reaches of the Kuixi Town Demonstration Area (Kuixi Antimony Company, which was shut down and rectified by the county

165 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report environmental protection bureau in 2012. After the enterprise ceased production, the waste residue on site has been removed and transported away); there were two coal mines in Qingtangpu Town Demonstration Area and the upper reaches of Changtang Town Demonstration Area (resources exhausted, closed in 2000 – 2002 and waste residue basically cleared up), in addition, there were no other heavy metal emission enterprises involved. There is a tungsten mining enterprise in the upstream of Dongping Town Demonstration Area (the mine was closed in 2002 due to the depletion of resources, and the waste residue has been cleared up); there is a lead-zinc mine mined in the 1960s in the upper reaches of the Jiangnan Town Demonstration Area (it has been closed for more than 20 years, and there is basically no residue left on the site after investigation). After on-site investigations, all these historical pollution sources have been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up during the shutdown. There is no tailings reservoir, no waste residue piled up, and there is no problem left over from mining and mineral processing. Basically, no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the downstream agricultural land.

(8) Hengnan County Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, the current agricultural land pollution in Hengnan County Demonstration Area belongs to a historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment. Qishan Office Demonstration Area is rich in mineral resources. The main pollution source is the high bottom value of heavy metals in the soil caused by the parent material of the soil. In addition, the unreasonable application of cadmium-containing phosphate fertilizer for many years has enriched the heavy metals in the soil, causing the pollution in past. There was once an As smelter in Quanhu Town Demonstration Area. The factory mainly produces waste water and waste residue with As pollution, causing As pollution to the surroundings. In 2007, the factory was shut down due to environmental damage, resulting in environmental pollution. When the enterprise was shut down, the factory equipment and slag field had been clean up, which would no longer cause new heavy

166 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report metal pollution to the agricultural land in the demonstration area. The pollution sources in the demonstration area of Lijiang Town are mainly historical pollution left from Xiangjiang River water. In recent years, Xiangjiang River water is no longer used for irrigation through measures such as changing irrigation water sources. Therefore, the pollution sources are basically controlled and will not cause any new pollution. A pig farm was built in the upper reaches of the Xiangyang Town Demonstration Area. The direct discharge of the three wastes from the pig farm resulted in serious pollution to the demonstration area. In recent years, all these factories and pig farms have been closed and will not cause new pollution again. There was once a gypsum mine factory in the Xiantang Town Demonstration Area, which mainly produced waste water and waste residue of calcium sulfate and other elements, causing pollution to the demonstration area. In 2008, the gypsum mine factory was shut down because of bankruptcy. When the enterprise was shut down, the plant equipment and slag field had been cleaned up. There was no residue left on the site, which basically did not cause new heavy metal pollution to the surrounding agricultural land. There were two iron ore and tungsten ore smelters in the Huaqiao Town Demonstration Area in the 1940s. The iron ore smelter and tungsten ore smelter were shut down as early as 50 years ago. However, the waste water and waste residue containing iron, Cd and other pollution elements produced by the iron ore smelter have caused historical pollution to the demonstration area and its surroundings. Now, there are basically no waste residue left behind and no new pollution will be caused to the demonstration area. Pollution sources in the tea town demonstration area are mainly upstream industrial and mining enterprises pollution brought by irrigation water source Leishui and two local pig farms. Up till now, pig farms have been renovated. At the same time, by changing irrigation water sources and other measures, Leishui will no longer be used for irrigation. Therefore, the pollution sources will be basically controlled and no new pollution will be caused. The Leishui reverse irrigation caused by the two consecutive years of extraordinary floods in 2006 and 2007 in Jiangkou Town demonstration area stayed in the demonstration area for up to half a month, bringing a

167 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report large amount of silt and pollutants and polluting the tillage layer. With the clean-up and control in recent years, silt, pollutants and foreign organisms caused by previous floods have been basically cleaned up and no new pollution will be produced. (9) Yizhang County According to on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, the Wushui River is used as the irrigation water source in the demonstration area of Meitian Town. There are no tailings reservoir, no waste residues piled up and no problems left over from private mining in the surrounding and upper reaches of the area.

The demonstration area uses the Wushui River as its irrigation water source, and the upstream of the Wushui River flow through Linwu County. In the 1990s, Linwu County witnessed the emerging of a large number of non-ferrous metal (such as lead-zinc ore) mining and mineral processing plants. A large number of mining and mineral processing wastewater was directly discharged into the Wushui River without treatment, causing serious water pollution, and the content of Cd, As and other elements seriously exceeded the standard. However, the demonstration area had been irrigated with water from

Wushui River, and Cd and As accumulated, resulting in excessive Cd and As in agricultural land soil. Linwu County has been carrying out mine renovation in the region since 2008. As for illegal mining in Huatang mining area, Jinjiang mining area, and Sanshiliuwan mining area, a carpet renovation has been carried out, and unlicensed mines and dressing plants have been destroyed unconditionally. Now, according to the current monitoring data, the contents of Cd, As and other elements in the monitoring results of Wushui River project has reached the III categories of Standards for Irrigation Water Quality (GB 5084 – 2005) and Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water

(GB 3838 – 2002) respectively. In Wuling Town Demonstration Area, Zhangshui River is the irrigation source. Zhangshui River originates from the Yangtian Lake in the northern lake area and flows through the Suxian area and enters to the demonstration area. There are a large number of mining and mineral processing plants in the northern lake area and Suxian area in the upper reaches of the area, mainly lead-zinc mines. Large-scale

168 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report production began since the 1990s, and a large amount of mining and mineral processing wastewater had been directly discharged into Zhangshui River without treatment, resulting in serious water pollution and serious exceeding contents of Cd, As and other elements. However, the demonstration area has been irrigated with Zhangshui River in past, thus Cd and As accumulated, resulting in excessive Cd and As in agricultural land soil. Mine renovation has been carried out in Beihu District and Suxian District since 2008. As for illegal mining and dressing enterprises, a carpet renovation has been carried out and unlicensed mines and dressing plants have been destroyed unconditionally. Now, according to the current monitoring data, the contents of Cd, As and other elements in the monitoring results of Zhangshui River project have reached the III categories of Standards for Irrigation Water Quality GB 5084 - 2005 and Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water GB 3838 - 2002 respectively. Changle water is used as irrigation water source in Yiliu Town demonstration area. There is no tailing pond around and upstream of the area, no waste residue is piled up, and no private mining is left. In past, there were several tanneries within 1 km around the demonstration area. Waste water and solid waste produced by the tanneries contain heavy metals such as Cd and Cr. Production waste water flowd through the demonstration area and the non-standard storage of solid waste and raw materials had all caused Cd pollution in the soil of the demonstration area. These enterprises had been shut down one after another since 2008. When they were shut down, plant equipment, raw material piles and solid waste piles had been cleaned up. There is no waste residue left on the site, which basically will not cause any new heavy metal pollution to the downstream agricultural land. (10) Linwu County

Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, the current agricultural land pollution in Linwu County demonstration area belongs to a historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment. In the 1990s, Linwu County witnessed the emerging of a large number of non-ferrous metal (such as lead-zinc ore) mining and mineral processing plants. A large number of mining and mineral processing

169 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report wastewater was directly discharged into the Wushui River without treatment, causing serious water pollution, and the content of Cd, As and other elements seriously exceeded the standard. However, Wushui Demonstration Area had been irrigated with water from Wushui River, and Cd and As accumulated, resulting in excessive Cd and As in agricultural land soil. Linwu County has been carrying out mine renovation in the region since 2008. As for illegal mining in Huatang mining area, Jinjiang mining area, and Sanshiliuwan mining area, a carpet renovation has been carried out, and unlicensed mines and dressing plants have been destroyed unconditionally. Now, according to the current monitoring data, the contents of Cd, As and other elements in the monitoring results of Wushui River project has reached the III categories of Standards for Irrigation Water Quality (GB 5084 – 2005) and Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838 – 2002) respectively. After on-site investigations, the historical pollution sources in the demonstration area have been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up during the shutdown. There is no tailings reservoir, no piled-up waste residue or remaining problem from mining and mineral processing, and no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the agricultural land in the demonstration area.(11) Lengshuitan District Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, the agricultural land pollution in the selected demonstration area of Lengshuitan District belongs to a historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment. There was once a state-owned Hongqi coal mine in the upper reaches of Xianghuaba Village demonstration area (it was shut down in 2000, and the waste residue was cleaned up when itwas shut down, and there was no waste residue left at the scene); there was once a state-owned

Lingling coal mine in the upper reaches of the Shixijiang Village demonstration area (shut down in 2012, the waste residue has been clean up when shutting down, and there was basically no waste residue left at the site); there was a private silica mine in the upstream of Qishan Village demonstration area (the mine had been shut down by the local environmental protection department after half a year of mining, and there is

170 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report basically no residue left on site); there were private coal mines and manganese ores 2 km upstream of the Lishan Village demonstration area (all of them were shut down in 2000 due to the depletion of resources, and there is basically no waste residue on site). After on-site investigations, all these historical pollution sources had been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up during the shutdown. There is no tailings reservoir, no waste residue piled up, and there is no problem left over from mining and mineral processing. Basically, no new heavy metal pollution will be caused to the downstream agricultural land.

(12) Qiyang County Through on-site reconnaissance, public consultation and data collection and analysis, agricultural land pollution in the selected demonstration area of Qiyang County belongs to historical pollution source, mainly brought in by sediment. Xiaojia Demonstration Area uses Dajiangbian Reservoir as irrigation water source. In past the Dajiang forest farm to the east of Dajiangbian Reservoir has seen the mining of iron and manganese ore (mining was carried out in the 1990s with a mining scale of 5000 to 10,000 tons / year, which was closed in the late 1990s. after on-site investigation, the slag of the historical iron and manganese ore mining field has been cleared up). The Baishui demonstration area is located in the lower reaches of Baishui River. There are historical tin and manganese mining in Jindong Town in the upper reaches of Baishui River (tin mining started before the founding of the People’s Republic of China and was closed in 2000. the mining scale is relatively small. after on-site investigation, slag from the historical tin mining area has been cleared up. Manganese ore mining was private on small scale, and 2 to 3 small roughing plants were shut down in 2000. After on-site investigation, slag from the historical manganese ore mining site has been cleared, and the small roughing plants had been dismantled without any solid waste left behind). After on-site investigations, all these historical pollution sources have been shut down and the slag left behind has been cleaned up during the shutdown. There is no tailings reservoir, no waste residue piled up, and there is no problem left over from mining and mineral processing .

5.2.2 Mitigation Measures

(1) Regular water quality monitoring of irrigation water shall be conducted to master changes in irrigation water quality, and ensure that the water quality of agricultural land irrigation water in the demonstration area meets the standards. Once the water quality exceeds the standards, emergency treatment measures shall be taken. Clean and up-to-standard irrigation water sources shall be used, and irrigation can be carried out by water diversion from reservoirs with up-stream water quality up to the standards. (2) Renovation of irrigation drains to meet the water quality and quantity requirements of agricultural land irrigation in the demonstration area. (3) As for the over-standard situation in irrigation channel sediments in the following places: Mawang Village, Bize Village, Xiaba Village, Heping Village, Nadong Village, Zhongba Village, Shuitian Village in Baojing County, Paixiong Village, and Jilue Village in Jishou City, Shangping Village, Xinglong Neighborhood Committee, Beiliping village in Yongshun County, Ganggang Village, Longmen Village, Jinrong Village, Wanggao Village, Xinzhai Village, Maoer Village in Huayuan County, Dongyueguan Town, Yangliupu Township, Gaoqiao Town, Sanhekou Town, Tongjinpu Town in Cili County, Luyang Town, Tongwan Town, Tongmu Town in Zhongfang County, Yushui Village, Kuixi Village, Muliu Village, Zhongdi Village in Anhua County, Jiepai Village,

5.3 Analysis on Impacts of Agricultural Activities and Mitigation Measures

Among the agricultural activities in project counties, the environmental impacts include flooding irrigation, lime sprinkling (PH value adjusted by soil acidification), organic fertilizer application, soil passivator application, etc. Impacts on specific points include: straw removal from fields and management and control of over-standard rice.

174 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report All agricultural activities in project counties are carried out on agricultural land and do not involve land acquisition, demolition or ethnic minorities.

5.3.1Analysis of Common Environmental Impacts of Agricultural Activities

5.3.1.1 Impact Analysis of Waterflooding Irrigation

During the implementation of the project, waterflooding irrigation during rice filling and heading can reduce the absorption of heavy metals of rice. The irrigation water source in project counties is sufficient. Although waterflooding irrigation temporarily increased irrigation water during rice filling and heading, it had little influence on regional agricultural irrigation compared with sufficient irrigation water source in the region. The impact of flooded irrigation on the environment of this project is positive.

5.3.1.2 Impact Analysis of Lime Application

Lime dosage is generally selected scientifically based on soil PH and soil texture. See Table 5-2 for agricultural lime dosage standards during the implementation of the project.

Table 5-2 Agricultural Lime Dosage Standard (Unit: kg / mu)

Dosage (kg / mu) Soil texture pH value The first The second The three The fourth The year year year year year year ＜4.5 400 400 200 200 0 4.5-5.5 300 300 150 150 0 Clay 5.5-6.5 200 200 100 100 0 6.5-7.5 100 100 100 100 0 ＞7.5 0 0 0 0 0 ＜4.5 350 350 175 175 0 4.5-5.5 250 250 125 125 0 Loam 5.5-6.5 150 150 75 75 0 6.5-7.5 100 100 50 50 0 ＞7.5 0 0 0 0 0

175 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report ＜4.5 300 300 150 150 0 4.5-5.5 200 200 100 100 0 Sandy soil 5.5-6.5 100 100 50 50 0 6.5-7.5 100 100 50 50 0 ＞7.5 0 0 0 0 0

After lime is applied, the concentration of heavy metal ions in irrigation water will be reduced, and the pH value will still meet the requirements of reclaimed water in Standards for Irrigation Water Quality (GB 5084-2005). The lime applied shall meet the following standards: quicklime (CaO content > 70 %): dolomite (CaO + MgO content > 45 %): limestone (CaCO3 content > 45 %) is a composite product with a ratio of 1: 3: 6. the proportion of quicklime is small, which can effectively prevent burns on crops and personnel during the application. After applying lime composite material, when the soil PH reaches 6.5 during crop harvest in this season, it needs to stop applying for one year. The soil in the Demonstration Area is weakly acidic with varied degree of acidification, so the applying of lime can decrease the soil acidity and increase microbial activity. Lime is an excellent material for neutralizing soil acidity, which can promote the precipitation of Cd and Pb in soil, inhibit the activity of heavy metals in soil, and reduce the Cd content in rice. After lime is applied, the PH value of the soil can be improved, which is also beneficial to the activities of microorganisms (microorganisms like the near-neutral soil environment). Dry powder lime is applied to agricultural land through the combination of lime spreader and manual spreading. Lime dust pollution will inevitably occur to local ambient air during the spreading process. The affected area is small and the influence time is short, which mainly affects lime spreader and has little influence on surrounding residents. When applying quicklime, the lime spreader must do a good job of protection and be required to wear protective clothing and masks to ensure safety.

5.3.1.3 Impact Analysis of Soil Remediation Agent Use

The passivation and restoration agents applied are all agricultural agents registered by the national agricultural department and allowed to be applied to agricultural land,

176 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report which can ensure that no new heavy metal pollution is brought in. At present, the passivation materials used in the remediation of heavy metal pollution in agricultural land soils at home and abroad mainly include: (1) clay minerals; (3) phosphorus-containing materials; (4) silicon calcium material; (5) metal oxides, such as iron oxide, ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, goethite, manganese oxide, potassium manganese ore, etc. (6) organic materials; (7) industrial wastes, etc. In the actual use of agricultural land, industrial waste should be avoided as much as possible as a passivating and repairing agent, so as not to bring new secondary pollution to agricultural land soil or destroy soil structure, physical and chemical properties and environmental quality, thus bringing unpredictable adverse effects on the long-term environmental quality of agricultural land. Judging from the current use effect, the effective state reduction rate of heavy metals such as Cd and Pb can reach 10 % - 30 % after passivation and restoration of agricultural land soil, and the content reduction rate of Cd and Pb in crops (rice and vegetable aboveground) can reach 30 % - 70 %. Combined with agricultural control measures, the restoration efficiency can reach 90 % at the highest, and the stability of passivation and restoration of heavy metals such as Cd and Pb in general soil can reach more than 3 years. Moreover, in many cases, with the extension of restoration time, the effect of passivation and restoration of heavy metals in soil is obviously enhanced. The organic passivator is helpful to restore the soil micro-ecological environment system and reduce the biological availability of toxic metals in the soil, thus reducing the toxicity to crops.

In the remediation of heavy metal pollution in agricultural land soil, special attention should be paid to the negative effects that a large amount of passivating agent may have on soil environmental quality. In particular, after the use of the passivating agent, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of the stability of the passivating agent itself, the long-term stability of the passivated / stabilized heavy metals, the long-term effects of the passivating agent on soil texture, physical and chemical properties, and environmental quality, as well as the effects of the

177 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report passivating remediation on crop growth, yield, and quality, etc.

5.3.1.4 Effect Analysis of Organic Fertilizer Application

Organic fertilizer is rich in organic substances and nutrients needed for crop growth, which can not only provide nutrients needed for crop growth and improve soil, but also improve crop quality, increase crop yield, promote high and stable yield of crops, maintain soil fertility, and at the same time improve fertilizer utilization rate and reduce production cost. Making full and reasonable use of organic fertilizer can increase crop yield, increase soil fertility, improve agricultural product quality, and improve the availability of soil nutrients. There are many raw materials for organic fertilizer production, which can be divided into the following categories: ① agricultural wastes, such as straw, soybean meal, cotton meal, etc. ② livestock and poultry manure, such as chicken manure, cattle, sheep, horse manure, and rabbit manure; ③ industrial wastes such as distiller’s grain, vinegar residue, cassava residue, sugar residue, furfural residue, etc. ④ domestic waste, such as kitchen waste, etc. ⑤ municipal sludge, such as river silt, sewer silt, etc. There are many sources of organic fertilizer raw materials, while heavy metal-rich straw, livestock manure containing heavy metal feed, municipal sludge, etc. may bring heavy metal elements into organic fertilizer. Once organic fertilizer with excessive heavy metal content is applied to agricultural land, it may lead to an increase in the content of heavy metal elements in the soil, resulting in secondary pollution.

Therefore, the heavy metal content of the organic fertilizer applied in the Demonstration Area must be lower than the standard of Organic Fertilizer (NY 525 -

2012). If livestock manure is used as the organic fertilizer, the heavy metal content of the feed used to feed livestock must meet the requirements of Hygienic Standard for Feeds (GB 13078 - 2001). In view of livestock excrement produced by surrounding farmers’ farming industry, the project office needs to strengthen supervision. Livestock excrement that does not have detection or exceed the standard cannot enter agricultural land in order to prevent the introduction of new heavy metal pollution.

178 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report 5.3.1.5 Analysis of Fertilizer Application Impact

The application of chemical fertilizer has a great influence on the heavy metals in soil, especially Cd, while the application of phosphate fertilizer has the greatest contribution to Cd heavy metals. Relevant research shows that phosphate fertilizer application is the main way to import Cd into paddy fields without considering the effects of rainfall, dust, irrigation, pesticides and other Cd inputs into paddy fields, as well as surface runoff, underground runoff and other Cd outputs. Although single application of high Cd phosphate fertilizer can control the Cd content in rice grains not exceeding the standard in a short period of time, it increases the risk of Cd pollution in soil. High Cd phosphate fertilizer must be used in combination with lime and other modifiers in rice production. Therefore, low-cadmium fertilizer products should be selected to reduce the risk of cadmium pollution of fertilizer to paddy soil, and phosphate fertilizer should also be selected to ensure the soil environment and food safety when the compound fertilizer is used simultaneously.

5.3.1.6 Impact Analysis of Pesticide Application

According to the data provided by the agriculture bureaus of 12 project counties, the frequency of agricultural pesticides used in each project county is 2 to3 times / quarter. In 2015, 3,100 tons of chemical pesticides were used in the project counties, 60 tons of biological pesticides were used, and the proportion of biological pesticides was 1.9 %.

After on-site investigation and verification by the agriculture bureau of the project county, the pesticides applied in the agricultural land of the project county at present are all qualified pesticides that meet the national standards and basically do not bring heavy metal pollution to the agricultural land. During the implementation of the project, the agricultural department of the project county will guide and supervise the selection and spraying of pesticides so that the Demonstration Area can use pesticides scientifically and reasonably. The project office commissioned Hunan Plant Protection Station to prepare a

179 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report “management plan for the prevention and control of diseases, insect pests and weeds” based on the plant protection policy of “prevention first and comprehensive prevention”. The plan insists on and implements the concepts of “public plant protection” and “green plant protection” and summarizes and puts forward the prevention and control methods for common diseases and insect pests of major crops such as rice, corn, potato, citrus, grape, vegetables, cotton, rape, tea and the like related to the project. Under the premise of protecting the ecological environment, the control plan emphasizes the natural control function, promotes the use of agricultural, physical and biological control methods to control diseases and insect pests, coordinates the use of appropriate chemical control technical measures, reduces the dependency on agricultural chemicals, controls the disease and insect pests below the allowable level of economic harm, and obtains the best economic, social and ecological benefits.

184 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report dispatched by the World Bank should provide help to establish an appropriate monitoring system and sampling procedures as early as possible, and provide training in the implementation and analysis of the monitoring system. For the specific pest management information of this project, please refer to the Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan for Pest Management Plan.

5.3.1.7 Analysis on the Impact of Agricultural Materials and Wastes

During the implementation of the project, a small amount of agricultural materials and wastes such as agricultural films and packaging materials for agricultural inputs will be produced in the Demonstration Area. If they are discarded and left in the soil at will, the decomposition of soil humus will be affected, and the ventilation and water permeability of the soil will also be affected, resulting in the destruction of soil structure, the low content of nutrient elements and the reduction of the ability to maintain water and fertilizer. Therefore, it is necessary to remove and recycle agricultural films and packaging materials for agricultural inputs in time to prevent pollution to the environment of product origins. This project intends to set up a collection pond for agricultural packaging waste in each Demonstration Area, requiring farmers to collect and temporarily store the used waste agricultural films, agricultural chemical packaging materials, etc. in the collection pond. At the same time, it will connect with the recycle bin of agricultural materials packaging materials in each project county. The project office will regularly transport the agricultural materials packaging wastes from the collection point to the recycle bin of agricultural materials packaging materials in the project county. The recycle bin of agricultural materials packaging materials in the project county will entrust a qualified unit to handle them in a unified way. Through the above measures, the agricultural material waste of this project can be properly disposed with little impact on the environment.

Please refer to the following annex for details of mitigation measures for common environmental impacts of agricultural activities: Attachment 3 Environmental Protection Procedure for Agricultural Activities ECOP

5.3.3 Analysis of Impact of Agricultural Activities on Specific Points and Mitigation Measures

5.3.3.1 Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures of Straw Removal from Field

When the Cd content of rice straw (straw) is more than 1.5 mg / kg, if the straw returns to the field, it will not help to reduce the Cd content in the agricultural land and affect the effect of the project implementation. As for the area with Cd content of straw above than 1.5 mg / kg in the Demonstration Area, straw removal measures were taken to remove it from agricultural land in order to curb the Cd pollution in agricultural land.

This project adopts PPP mode of operation mechanism and incentive mechanism, through subsidies to farm operators or specialized harvest cooperatives, adjusts the harvest mode for straw utilization (semi - feeding harvest to ensure the removal and utilization of the entire grass), and adds chopped straw bales (straw picking and bundling machines can be purchased) to realize the removal of crop straws from the field in the Demonstration Area. The straw to be removed should adopt the principle of adjusting measures to local conditions and comprehensive utilization. In view of the characteristics of mountainous areas and woodlands in the project county, the straw should be disposed and utilized by means of centralized collection and on-site return of forest cover. The project office needs to strengthen supervision to ensure the smooth progress of straw removal and proper disposal. According to the relevant research conclusions of domestic agricultural research institutions, the Cd content of contaminated straw is generally 1.5 to 10 mg / kg. Even if

186 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report such rice straw is moved to forest land, it will not cause Cd pollution in forest land soil. Rice straw removed from the field in some project counties can be moved to forest land for consumption, and the impact on forest land soil is acceptable. In some project counties, this kind of rice straw is moved to orchards. According to related agricultural research, the orchard soil will not exceed the secondary soil standard and will not cause Cd pollution in soil within 100 years. Therefore, rice straw removed from the field in some project counties can be moved to orchards for consumption, and the impact on orchard soil is acceptable.

By adopting above measures, it can be ensured that the rice straw will be moved to the field in areas where the rice straw exceeds the standard, and the straw after being moved to the field will be used or properly treated, which will have little impact on the environment.

5.3.2.1 Control Scheme and Influence Analysis of Contaminated Rice

In order to strengthen the control of rice with Cd and other heavy metals exceeding the standard, and to ensure that rice with Cd exceeding the standard does not circulate freely in the field of grain circulation, various project counties have formulated control plans for rice with Cd exceeding the standard. The plan for controlling contaminated rice can be divided into: the winery in the county where the rice is located will purchase the rice for brewing and residues such as distiller’s grains are all buried and not allowed to enter the food chain.

The villages, towns and villages (or cooperatives) of each Demonstration Area will assist in the process of purchasing rice that exceeds the standard to ensure that all rice that exceeds the standard will be purchased without omission. ② Operating Procedure A. Sampling and Inspection According to the characteristics of the mountainous areas of the project counties, it is advisable to take one paddy sample in every 30 - 50 mu, and there are about 120 - 150 paddy samples selected in each project county. The best sampling time is when rice matures and enters the yellow ripe stage for sampling. After the sample is threshed and dried, the relevant detection mechanism will test the sample. B. Confirmation of contaminated rice According to the test results, rice with Cd content above or equal to 0.2 mg / kg was confirmed as contaminated rice according to the relevant national standards. C. Purchase and Temporary Storage of contaminated rice County agriculture signed an agreement with xx grain storage warehouse on behalf

188 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental and Social Impact Report of the government to purchase contaminated rice. The purchase price shall be based on the corresponding purchase price stipulated by the state in the year. The purchased contaminated rice will be stored separately and temporarily in a special warehouse in xx grain reserve warehouse. D. Sales and Processing of contaminated rice In order to reduce the losses caused by the purchase of rice with over-standard Cd content, such rice can be sold to the Tujia Brewery for direct processing into edible liquor. The county agriculture bureau, on behalf of the project county government, signed the

Rice with Over-Standard Cd Content Treatment Agreement with the Tujia Brewery. The brewery can process the rice with Cd content exceeding standard into edible liquor separately. The selling price can be appropriately subsidized according to the quantity of rice accepted by the brewery and the price of rice purchased with reference to the liquor produced by the enterprise. At the same time, the winery used rice with over-standard Cd content to make wine and tested Cd and other heavy metals in white wine. Distiller’s grains are disposed of in landfill. The project offices of each project county shall provide appropriate subsidies in the form of technical assistance for the relevant testing costs and research costs of distiller’s grains used for products and their accessories and for the treatment methods of distiller’s grains. 2. Environmental Impact of Contaminated Rice Control For rice with Cd content above 0.2 mg / kg, Baojing County, Jishou City, Yongshun County, Huayuan County, Cili County, Zhongfang County, Anhua County, Hengnan County, Yizhang County, Linwu County, Lengshuitan City, Qiyang County choose nearby Baojing Tujia Winery Company, Jishou Winery Co., Ltd, Yongshun Xiongge

agricultural land in Hunan Province has been polluted by heavy metals to varying degrees. The quality of soil environment and its safety performance are declining day by day, which directly threatens the quality and safety of agricultural products and endangers the health of the masses. Even if there is no project plan, and there is no environmental impact caused by small-scale civil construction activities and agricultural activities such as lime application, heavy metal pollution in agricultural products in Hunan Province will still exist and will continue. The problem of excessive heavy metals in agricultural products consumed by ordinary people will still be harmful to the health of ordinary people. The sales volume of heavy metal-polluted agricultural products will still be affected, affecting the vital interests of the vast majority of farmers. Although the project construction plan will bring about certain environmental impact, the impact can be avoided and reduced by adopting corresponding environmental protection measures. Moreover, the impact during the construction period is relatively small and temporary. The implementation of the project can improve food security and the quality of life of the people. It is a project beneficial to the people’s livelihood and brings long-term social and environmental benefits. Therefore, the project construction plan is obviously superior to no plan, and the project construction is very necessary.

Chapter 7 Analysis of Social Impact and Social Risk Management

7.1 Analysis of social Impacts

The second batch of Integrated Management Project of agricultural land Pollution in Hunan Province with World Bank Loan involves 12 counties (cities) and has wide social impacts. Each implementation link is connected closely with one another. The smooth implementation of the project is largely determined by the participation willingness and attitude of the project implementation subject (peasant household). To serve the optimization design of the whole Project and its effective implementation, Agriculture Commission of Hunan Province entrusts Institute of Sociology, Hunan Normal University to work out the social assessment report. According to the safeguards policies of the World Bank, the social impact assessment should be conducted in combination in the assessment report.

7.1.1 Positive Social Impacts

Positive Impact of Project Implementation in a Short Term: (1) Through the publicity of the project, the stakeholders’ awareness of producing safe products can be enhanced. Through the survey, it is found that the understanding of the stakeholders in the area with mild contamination on the cause and the result of agricultural land heavy metal contamination is not sufficient. Through the publicity and training of the project, the project will improve the stakeholders’ awareness to the urgency of agricultural land heavy metal contamination control.

(2) Through the training of the project, the peasant households’ skills in production safety products can be enhanced. Through the survey, it is discovered that the excess heavy metals in the agricultural product relate to the agronomic technology of the peasant households. The optimization of the agronomic technology can reduce the heavy metal contamination to the agricultural product. Therefore, through the training on

201 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan the peasant households, the project can improve the peasant households’ skills in producing safe products. (3) Through public participation, consensus on the agricultural land heavy metal contamination control will be achieved. Through the survey, it is found that the stakeholders still have many disputes over whether the treatment is needed and how to treat the pollution. Through public participation, consensus on the agricultural land heavy metal contamination treatment will be achieved. (4) Create favorable conditions for agricultural production by improving the infrastructure. It is discovered by the social assessment team that the peasant households’ desire to improve local backward irrigation infrastructure is quite strong. Whenever the social assessment team arrives at a Project village, most villagers would reflect that the local infrastructure is poor, especially the road and the water; there are always problems in the demonstration area such as insufficient investment in the rural infrastructure as well as lacking effective investment and management, etc. These problems seriously prevent the sustainable development of agricultural production and rural areas. Through the engineering, such as clean water irrigation, canal renovation and tractor-ploughing road repairing, etc., the project will create favorable conditions for agricultural production. (5) The environmental management and the agricultural environment monitoring provide technical supports for agricultural product quality management. Through the survey, it is found that the demonstration area lacks agricultural product and soil monitoring facilities, which results in lack of clear understanding of the related government departments and the peasant households on the heavy metal contamination level of agricultural product. Through the environmental management and the agricultural environment monitoring, the project will provide technical supports for agricultural product quality management. (6)The risk management capacity of s and the product competitiveness are improved by cultivating agricultural cooperatives. The long-time backwardness of the project area enables many peasant households to realize that their scattered situation will

202 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan make them live on repeated sell of primary agricultural products which have low added value and production efficiency as well as difficulties in market integration. Most peasant households have to go through the local or non-local collector if they want to sell the agricultural products. Finally, the products will go to the company. What the peasant households get is only the price of the primary agricultural products and what they earn is the money from running around here and there. The real added value lies in the deep processing. Therefore, the peasant households gradually realize it and urgently desire to be led by the cooperatives and big peasant households to improve the market competitiveness of the product, extend the industrial chain and increase the product price. Cultivating agricultural cooperatives will help improve the risk resistance capacity of the peasant households and the agricultural product competitiveness. (7)The project implementation brings substantial economic benefits. Through the survey, it is found that the agricultural land heavy metal contamination treatment has already affected the agricultural production and the farmers’ income to some extent. The treatment measures adopted in the project bring substantial economic benefits. They are reflected in four aspects: (1) increase the sales price of the agricultural product. By taking corresponding measures, the project enables the agricultural land to produce qualified agricultural products, which can increase the agricultural product price. For example, in Hengyang County, some slightly polluted areas have had the treatment measure experiments like VIP etc. The cadmium content in the rice is get controlled. The price of the rice is increased to 320 yuan per hundred kg from 250 yuan per hundred kg. (2) Reduce agricultural production costs. The agricultural capital cost can be decreased by about 30% by supporting and cultivating the agricultural cooperatives. (3) Increase the land utilization efficiency. The utilization efficiency of the agricultural cooperative’s general lands is increased. By cultivating the agricultural cooperative, the land utilization efficiency can be increased. (4) Increase the added value of agricultural products. The project team cultivates the agricultural cooperatives and establishes the monitoring facilities, which provides organizational and technical supports for agriculture industrialization and is good for

203 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan increasing the added value of agricultural products. (8) The social benefits of the project implementation are obvious. In the investigation, we found that there were many migrant workers in the project area, poor households were trapped in a poverty cycle dominated by traditional agricultural management and planting patterns, and there was a lack of useful experience in controlling heavy metal pollution in agricultural land. The implementation of the project can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems and produce obvious social benefits. First, it is conducive to the return of migrant workers. The implementation of the project has created jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities for migrant workers to return home, especially for women. The survey found that women are the main force in farmer cooperatives. Second, it is conducive to poverty alleviation and wealth. Poor households are mainly restricted by information, technology and capital, which leads them to enter the poverty cycle. By providing support in aspects of information, technologies and funds to the poor farmers, the project team is able to help them out of poverty. Thirdly, beneficial to forming the agricultural land pollution treatment pattern. Currently, the agricultural land pollution treatment is lacking the experience and the pattern for reference. The implementation of the project can find out an effective technical and management pattern in the project area, setting an example to other areas in the aspect of heavy metal contamination treatment.

7.1.2 Negative Impacts

(1) During the project implementation, the transformation of the agricultural production structure will be carried out and crop restructuring may be conducted in some lands, which will affect the income of some farmers in a short period. (2) Temporary stacking of dust, noise, garbage and sludge generated during the construction of the project will bring temporary adverse effects on the tidiness of the environment in the project area and will cause short-term negative effects on the daily travel and production life of residents in the project area.

204 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan 7.1.3 Brief Summary of Social Impacts

In general, the integrated management Project of agricultural land pollution has positive impacts on the society. It can improve the soil in the project area, increase the yield of the agricultural products, improve the infrastructure condition and the ecological environment of the project area, fuel the social and economic development in the project area and improve the quality of the farmers and the comprehensive service level of agriculture. In addition, it is beneficial to the agricultural technology transfer and can improve the awareness to the agricultural heavy metal metal pollution prevention. The main negative social impacts are the transfer of the agricultural production structure that may happen, the provision of subsidies for farmers who may be affected by crop restructuring. The negative social impacts can be mitigated if reasonable measures are takend properly.

7.2 Social Risk Identification

7.2.1 Socail Impact Analysis of Crop Restructuring

In the existing demonstration areas: first, there is no land which will be abandoned for planting. The total area for pollution management in 12 project counties is 6152.33 hectares, of which 408.46 hectares are heavily polluted, accounting for 6.64 % of the total management area. The measures taken in the project area are mainly land restoration. In some moderately or heavily polluted areas, crop restructuring is adopted. There is no land abandonded for planting in demonstration areas. It is planned to take measures such as “VIP” management, applying organic fertilizer or planting green manure (F) in the management of agricultural land, totaling 5743.87 hectares. A total of 408.46 hectares were restructured, of which 126.63 hectares were replanted with seedling flower and fruit seedlings; 112.48 hectares were replanted with corn / rapeseed / sorghum; 76.44 hectares were replanted with orange, pear, grape and pitaya, etc.; 16.24 hectares were replanted with folium artemisiae argyi and 76.67 hectares were planted with lotus. Secondly, it does not involve land acquisition. There is no need for land acquisition for the project civil works as

205 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan all the civil works at this stage will be village-level irrigation facilities built in project villages for village collective use and interest. There will be no change to land ownership in project villages; all civil construction activities are carried out within the village, and the constructed facilities are also used by the villagers. Twelve project counties have altogether constructed or renovated 173.9 km of irrigation channels, 193 grit chambers, 49.35 km of farm tracks, 720 m of ecological interception ditches, 2 retaining dams, 3 electric irrigation stations, 2 reservoirs and 1 mechanical well. Engineering measures in the project area can be divided into two categories: (1) renovation of irrigation channel or drainage ditches.

Mainly, it is to carry out reinforcement and repair on the basis of the original channel. (2) The use of the newly built airport or electric irrigation station as well as the land required are all within the scope of the project village and the nature of collective ownership of the village cannot be changed. The implementation of the project does not involve land acquisition and demolishing, and does not trigger the involuntary resettlement policy of the World Bank; therefore, there is no need to prepare the resettlement plan. Crop restructuring crops in heavily polluted areas of demonstration areas may bring the following social risks (1) Some farmers do not cooperate. Planting other crops requires change of planting habits and techniques, which needs farmers to adapt to the new cropping production and provision of necessary transitional subsidies. Although the project management offices and the project team have already carried out in-depth investigation and analysis, there may still be some farmers who are not willing cooperate in the process. (2) The issue of distribution and management of restructuring subsidies. Consensus has been reached on subsidy standards, but more farmers are worried about the transparency of the subsidy. (3) Labor supply problem. At present, many villages are “empty villages” because young and middle-aged laborers are all migrated for off-farming work outside of the villages. Planting of fruits and seedlings requires more laborers, which may face the problem of insufficient labor.

7.2.2 Ethnic Minority Identification

The project counties within the demonstration area where ethnic minorities by the

206 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan Chinese official definition live include Jishou City, Huayuan County, Baojing County, Yongshun County and Cili County. There are 62 project villages in these project counties. The total population of the project village is 94382, of which the minority population is 80418, accounting for 85.52 %. Among the ethnic minorities, the total population of Tujia people is 44838, accounting for 47.51 %. There are 35880 , accounting for 38.12 %. Specific analysis is done against the definition of the Bank IP term. Analysis on the difference of Tujia people in the project area. Language: Tujia people in the project area started to use Chinese very early due to their long-term coexistence with

Han people. Religious belief: Tujia people in the project area mainly believe in Taoism and worship their ancestors. Tujia people believe in many gods, and their religious beliefs include natural worship. Land, rocks, mountains, rivers, and water are all objects of worship. Almost every household in Tujia people worships the ancestral shrine in the hall house. Tujia festivals in the project area mainly include dragon boat racing and “Double Sixth Festival”. Tujia people attach great importance to traditional festivals, especially New Year Festival. Customs and habits: before the Tujia women get married in the project area, there is a custom of “crying marriage”. Before getting married, if a girl does not cry for marriage, she will be discriminated against and ridiculed. At present, this custom of “crying marriage” has gradually faded away. Mode of production: mainly planting rice in the same way as the majority people do. The population of Miao people in the project village totaled 35,880, accounting for 38.12 %. Miao people in the project area have their own and other community residents recognized cultural characteristics, living habits and customs and other specific cultures. The Miao people’s cultural, economic, social and political organization in the project area is not different from that of the mainstream ethnic group. There is no obvious difference between the Miao people’s cultural, economic, social and political organization and the mainstream society in terms of folk beliefs, sacrificial activities, totem worship, etc. The Miao people in the project area mainly use local dialects in their daily communication language, and the characters used are Chinese characters. The Miao people’s land in the

207 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan project area is collectively owned and the household contract responsibility system is adopted. Therefore, through in-depth investigation and analysis on Miao and Tujia people in demonstration areas, these Miao and Tujia people have been well integrated with the main society. which does not fit the World Bank’s definition of IP, the World Bank’s IP policy is not applicable and therefore no IP development plan is needed.

7.2.3 Impacts on Livelihood of Farmers

The change of farm crops will bring certain risks. The change of agricultural land crops mainly includes three categories in the implementation of the project: keeping the original planting habits and adjusting the farming system. There are mainly three types of social risks brought about by keeping the original planting habits for land restoration: the first one is to reduce the risk of net income. Since the existing land restoration needs to increase the cost of raw materials, labor and water and electricity, if the cost cannot be reflected in the price or reasonably compensated, then the net income will be reduced and the local residents will eventually boycott it. The second one is the market sales risk. If the project begins to plant low Cd accumulation crops, the original sales channels and ways will be changed. There is a risk whether new crops can be sold in new sales channels and ways or not. There is no government protective price acquisition system for fruit trees and vegetables. The lack of government guarantee system will increase risks to the income of farmers. The third one is management risk. Replanting will not only implement new requirements on technical management of replanted crops but also require project villages to establish fair, transparent and standardized management procedures. The fourth one is the risk of low quality food at the beginning of land rehabilitation before the polluted land is fully restored. During the control period, food crops that do not meet the standards cannot enter the food chain and can only be used as biological raw materials. And the price of grain crops used as industrial raw materials is 1 / 3 lower than that of normal grain crops. The fourth

208 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan category is production reduction risk. Waterflooding irrigation measures and planting low Cd crops will increase the risk of rice blast, which may lead to a decrease in yield. The adjustment of farming system will bring the risk of reducing net income. Changes in the planting pattern may increase the input of labor force. If the input cannot be reasonably subsidized, the net income will be reduced.

7.2.4Risk of Public Opinion

The environmental pollution in the demonstration area is relatively complicated.

Except heavy metal pollution in soil, some areas are also polluted by industrial waste water, waste gas and rural domestic pollutants. Such pollution will bring harm to the health and life of local residents. There are four main types of public opinion risks brought about by the implementation of the project: the first one is the risk of improper attribution. In the process of investigation, local residents responded that the pollution caused crop failure and domestic water become inedible. These phenomena are caused by various kinds of pollution. When no other pollution control is started, the treatment of agricultural land soil pollution may lead local residents to attribute all problems to heavy metal pollution and then put forward corresponding claims. The second is to exaggerate the risk of heavy metal pollution. Heavy metal pollution control in agricultural land dominated by government departments is easy to label all agricultural products in the demonstration area as excessive heavy metals. If it is not handled properly, it will easily cause mass incidents in the demonstration area. The third is the risk of residents’ awareness of environmental protection. Major stakeholder groups have deviated from their roles in environmental pollution and environmental protection. They do not believe that they should be responsible for the surrounding environmental pollution or that they are one of the main bodies of environmental control. Therefore, they believe that the responsibility for soil improvement should be mainly borne by the government or some organizations, and their main role is to implement it.

209 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan 7.3 Mitigation of Social Risks

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Agricultural Product Origin Safety and Quality Improvement Project, the following supporting policies must be adopted:

(I) Strengthen farmers’ willingness to participate in training, establish a whole-process participation mechanism, and resolve the social risks of restructuring in heavily polluted areas.

To resolve the social risks caused by the restructuring, it is suggested to strengthen farmers’ willingness to participate in training so as to enhance rural residents’ awareness of ecology and health; to formulate a mechanism for participation in the whole process, so as to ensure that farmers can effectively participate in the selection of varieties for restructuring, the formulation of subsidy schemes for restructuring, and the monitoring of effects. On the basis of fully respecting the opinions of local farmers, the selection of restructured crops should be weighed and decided with reference to the more successful local crops.

(2)Work out the basic compensation package and cultivate agricultural cooperatives to ease the risk in the agricultural land pollution treatment. After consultation with local agricultural departments and residents, basic compensation packages have been drawn up, and appropriate adjustments can be made according to actual local situations. There are two types of subsidy schemes according to technological methods: One is the subsidy scheme for contaminated rice. Such risk subsidy is mainly for the loss of benefits caused by substandard products, etc. The subsidy standard is planed to be 20% of the actual purchasing price. The other type of subsidy is for restructuring. The subsidy for restructuring is used to subsidize the reduction of income brought about by restructuring. According to expectation of residents, the proposed subsidy standard is 6,000 Yuan/hectare. For the restructuring project involving a large amount of investment like crop restructuring flowers and nursery stocks, the financial models of “mutual guarantee of peasant households+cadre’s guarantee” and “company+base+credit

210 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan cooperative+peasant household” should be encouraged. For the areas without agricultural cooperatives, the agricultural cooperatives should be cultivated. For the existing agricultural cooperatives, their abilities to organize and manage should be improved through training. (3)Strengthen technical training and specifications to ease the technical risk in treatment. In order to solve the technical risks in the process of governance, firstly, the project team should first strengthen the technical training of local farmers and women in various ways. Secondly, farmers’ training subsidy should be formulated. It is suggested that subsidy should be based on the standard of RMB 50 Yuan / day. Thirdly, technical specifications should be strengthened. Agricultural departments should formulate detailed technical specifications for flooded irrigation, lime sprinkling, organic fertilizer application, green manure planting, foliar resistance control agent spraying, and soil conditioner application, and formulate certain specification requirements for restructured crops. Subsidies should be based on whether relevant requirements are met. Finally, it is suggested to purchase lime application equipment and provide technical training for relevant personnel. (4)Set up clear accountability systems to ease the management risk in treatment To ease the management risk in management, firstly, clear duty specifications should be established. The duty specification should sort out the corresponding responsibilities of the leaders at the provincial level, the county level, the township level and the village level.

The responsibilities should be assigned to the people. Secondly, a technical supervision team consisting of “Agricultural Department of Hunan Province + County Bureau of

Agriculture+agricultural experts” should be established. The technical supervision team of each Project county should have at least two working staff from the Agriculture Commission of Hunan Province and two agricultural experts. Meanwhile, put forward corresponding rules about the number of times and the time of inspection tours of the technical supervision team. At last, strengthen relevant protective measures and maintain

211 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan safety and convenience during the project construction. It is suggested that the project owner and the construction organization of the project take a full consideration of the objective requirement and habit for local residents’ production and life to arrange the project construction schedule and minimize the influence of road blocking and noises on local residents. (5) Strengthen publicity, training and public opinion guidance to ease the public opinion risk in treatment As for the potential public opinion risk control measures in the demonstration area: firstly, during the project start-up and implementation phase, the data obtained by the project party through monitoring should be kept confidential appropriately; secondly, increase publicity to increase residents’ awareness of environmental protection; finally, formulate scientific and reasonable participation principles. The specific measures include: ①Publicize the food safety knowledge among all the residents to enable them to understand that taking necessary measures can effectively reduce the heavy metal contamination; ②Take relevant publicity measures to correctly lead the public opinion and prevent rumors from spreading incorrectly; ③Pay attention to wording in all the stages of the project and try to avoid labeling. According to above conclusions and measures, it is suggested to carry out the following social action plans: first, establish a farm management association to ensure that farmers participate in and consult extensively in the implementation of the project; secondly, formulate compensation plans to ensure the economic benefits of farmers and to avoid or minimize the negative impact of pollution control on farmers; thirdly, formulate action measures and do a good job in the estimation of funds; fourthly, establish a complaint mechanism for the project to promote the broad participation of residents

213 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan stakeholders of the project. According to feasibility study report, agricultural land pollution in Project areas is administered by adopting measures such as agricultural improvement, land remediation and supporting of rural cooperative. The main stakeholders involved mainly include: (1) Farmer households in Project areas: Farmer households in Project areas are the directly benefited or damaged subjects in the project. Agricultural land heavy metal contamination administration will have an influence on land use and agricultural measures. (2) Agricultural cooperatives: Agricultural cooperatives in Project areas are also directly benefited or damaged subjects in the project. Agricultural land heavy metal contamination administration will have an influence on their management and cultivation model to different extents. (3) Relevant departments of the government: agricultural land pollution administration involves relevant departments such as agricultural department, environmental protection department and water conservancy department. (4) The enterprises removed or closed enterprises with heavy metal pollutant discharge surrounding the demonstration area. These enterprises are also the direct benefited or damaged subject of the project. (5) The winery purchasing the contaminated rice in the demonstration area. In order to strengthen the management and control on the rice with excessive heavy metals, such as the cadmium etc., to ensure that the rice with the excessive heavy metal will not be circulated in the food fields at random, and to management and control the rice with excessive heavy metal, the wineries in the counties where the project is located will purchase these rices to make wine, meanwhile the vinasse and other residues etc. shall be sent to the refuse landfill for treatment in the counties where the project is located, and it is forbidden to let them flow into the food chain. These enterprises is the direct benefited or damaged subjects of the project. In this part, appeals and expectations of farmer households, agricultural cooperatives and relevant departments of the government in Project areas for the project are intensively analyzed.

8.2 Public Participation of Social Impact Assessment

8.2.1Project Public Participation and Information Disclosure Principles

First, keep the publicity of project information, and carry out the project publicity work throughout the project cycle. Establish a regular disclosure system for project information, and regularly disclose the project information closely related to major stakeholders on the notice-board in the community public places such as the village committee. In addition, inform the stakeholders of the preparation and implementation of the project through group meetings, representative meetings, slogans, television and radios, and the like. Second, help the main stakeholders to establish the project subject consciousness. The assessment team suggests conducting the following types of training: (1) carry out the participatory training to the main stakeholders of the project, and guide them to actively think about the problems on community development, agricultural land heavy metal pollution, environmental protection and so on; (2) conduct the social environmental knowledge training and guide the main stakeholders to think about the impact of their own production and life styles on the soil and how to conduct soil protection on their owns; (3) carry out training on project technology, and eliminate the concerns of the main stakeholders to the project. Third, attract the main stakeholders to participate in the project construction, give

245 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environment Management Plan priority to hiring them to provide paid labors for the project, and allow them to provide logistics services for the construction of the project. Fourth, pay attention to the role of the village community cadres and community strength in project implementation. Ask for the village community cadres to participate in the activities of publicity, training, mobilization, reflecting the needs of villagers, finding problems in the implementation of the project, coordinating contradictions, follow-up management and so on, and consider giving certain subsidies to the major cadres involved in the project during implementation of the project.

Fifth, carry out the village-level participatory management of village soil governance and protection, and mobilize the masses to ensure the sustainability of the project effects. Sixth, promote the participation of vulnerable groups. Prepare directive provisions for participation of project activities of the vulnerable groups such as women during project design. For instance, the participation rate of trained women should reach 50%; and each community should be stipulated to absorb a certain proportion of poor rural households to participate in the project, which will be regarded as a project evaluation indicator. There are representatives of women and poor households in the village project team in order to ensure the voices of vulnerable groups to be reflected. Considering the characteristics of generally lower women’s cultural levels, each demonstration area should organize some special training for them, and choose appropriate teaching contents, teaching languages and teaching methods and so on to improve the training effect. The assessment team has drawn up the outline of participating in and conducting activities by the project beneficiary in different project cycles such as agricultural land soil environmental management, which specifically includes the above suggestions of the assessment team on participation.

The management organization is recommended to entrust local environmental monitoring station or social environmental monitoring organization with monitoring qualification to execute monitoring plan. The construction unit shall sign monitoring contract for construction period with the monitoring unit before construction, and sign monitoring contract for operation period with the monitoring unit before the project is put into use.

9.6.3 Environmental Monitoring Plan

Sensitive points with relatively obvious pollution will be determined as monitoring points according to predicted results of environmental impact. Based on pollution conditions during Project implementation period, relatively significantly affected irrigation surface water body, soil, agricultural products, and organic fertilizers and pesticide applied are selected as monitoring contents. The monitoring factors are determined according to characterization factors of the project. Monitoring analysis method of relevant Project of the state is adopted. National standards determined during environmental impact assessment are executed as assessment standards. Project monitoring contents are determined according to characteristics of Project and environment. See Table 9-10~9-21。 1、Arrangement of Monitoring Point of Irrigation Surface Water Body

(1). Point Arranging Principle agricultural land irrigation water source detection points are set up in river sections around main irrigation water inlet of cultivated land in project area, main irrigation water inlets of main canals/branch canals and small reservoir in each key reservoir level by level. Irrigation water drainage sampling is carried out at ground drain of project area and irrigation water recession outlet. And dense points are set up near irrigation water outlets of

292 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan

"suspected key polluted water sources" and suspected inlets of new pollution . Under any circumstances, points must be set in the places where water body is well-mixed to ensure the representativeness of samples. Select or specifically set sample markers for easy identification at the determined sampling points and shores, and use GPS positioning to ensure that the water samples are taken from the same location. (2). Monitoring Time and Frequency Monitoring year: Monitoring should be carried out in the first and third year during project implementation.

Frequency: For single cropping rice, the monitoring frequency is three times in a year (single cropping rice: in May, July and September); For double cropping rice, the monitoring frequency is four times in a year (double cropping rice: in March, May, July and September). (3). Surface Water Monitoring Factors

6+ pH, Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr , CODCr, NH3-N, TP (Only one time). 2. Monitoring of Sediment in Irrigation Water Source

(1). Point Arranging Principle The sediment monitoring points should be set at the detection points of irrigation water sources at each agricultural land, and should be corresponded to the monitoring sampling points of irrigation surface water. One sample should be collected at each sediment monitoring point. (2). Monitoring Time

One time in the first year and one time at the end of the project implementation (evaluation of the implementation effect).

(3). Monitoring Factors pH, total Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr, and water-soluble Cd. 3. Monitoring of Sediment in Sedimentation Basin (1). Point Arranging Principle One sample is acquired for each sedimentation basin using quartering method. (2). Monitoring Time

293 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan

Once a year. (3). Monitoring Factors pH, total Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr, and water-soluble Cd. 4. Arrangement of Soil Monitoring Points (1). Point Arranging Principle The monitoring points for soil and agricultural products shall be in accordance with the data requirements of “5+ mu” for each governance unit, and no less than 5 samples for each project area. Grid method should be used for points setting, and typical plots with soil in good natural conditions, flat ground, relatively stable factors, and an area greater than 1300 ㎡ should be selected as monitoring and sampling sites. Sampling plots should not be set near residences, ditches, dunghills, waste piles and graves, as well as areas with subordinate landscape features such as slopes and marsh lands, and should be more than 50m away from roads or railways. Meanwhile, contaminated plots should not be deliberately avoided or approached. For orchards with straw returned, the soil and products are sampled and monitored in the same way.

(2) Monitoring Items and Frequency A. Soil monitoring in the entire demonstration area

② Total amount of Cd, As, Pb, Hg and Cr: monitored twice, that is, one time in the first year and one time at the end of the project implementation (for the evaluation of the implementation (for the evaluation of the implementation effect).

③ Organic matter and cation exchange capacity (CEC): monitored in the first year, only once. B. Soil monitoring in selected demonstration agricultural lands

During the implementation process, two blocks (1,000 mu is appropriate for each block, and choose the high-risk area as far as possible) should be selected in the project counties as demonstration plots, where soil sampling and detection should be carried out in one-to-one correspondence with agricultural products.

① Detection items: pH, total amount of Cd, As, Pb, Hg and Cr, and available Cd.. ② Detection frequency: single cropping rice: once a year; double-reason rice: twice a

294 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan year. 5. Heavy Metal Detection of Agricultural Products (1). Sampling Principle The sampling point of agricultural products shall be as correspondent to soil heavy metal monitoring sampling points as possible. More than five composite samples shall be acquired from every agricultural product. (2). Detection Time Samples should be taken at the harvest period, and the frequency is once a year for single cropping rice and twice a year for double cropping rice. (3). Monitoring Factors Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr. 6、Detection of Fertilizers and Other Agricultural Inputs (1). Compound and phosphate fertilizers ① Sampling Principle Three samples should be collected.

② Detection Time One time in first year. ③ Detection Factors Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr. (2). Organic Fertilizer ① Sampling Principle

Three samples are acquired from each batch of organic fertilizers. ② Detection Time

Before application, each batch of organic fertilizer should be detected. ③ Detection Factors Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr, easily-oxidized organic carbon and total carbon. (3) Other agricultural inputs such as lime, passivating agents, etc. ① Sampling Principle Three samples should be collected for each batch of passivating agents.

295 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan

② Detection Time Before application, each batch of other agricultural inputs should be detected. ③ Detection Factors Cd, Pb, As, Hg, Cr. 7. Monitoring of Plant Diseases And Insect Pests (1). Use of pesticide Record types of pesticide used in Project area as well as pesticide application frequency and dosage. The monitoring frequency is once a year;

(2). Conditions of agricultural land ecosystem Monitor morbidity of plant diseases and insect pests, quantity of injurious insects and quantity of natural enemies; The monitoring frequency is 4 times per year (seedling period, adult-plant period, fruiting period, and harvesting and picking period); (3). Pesticide residues of crops Detect pesticide residues of agricultural products. More than five composite samples shall be acquired from each agricultural product with monitoring frequency of 1 time per year for each harvest season. 8. Balance Monitoring Set up project control plots based on the needs of the project implementation and cadmium balance analysis. The demonstration area of each town should have 5 control plots (hills), and the total area of each control plot (hill) should be more than 1300 ㎡, with the blank control area of less than 130 ㎡. (Build a strong soil layer in the control hill and reinforce it regularly to prevent the water in the areas where agronomic measures are taken from mixing into the blank control area. When agronomic measures are carried out in the control hill, professional agricultural technicians must be on site to direct the operation, so as not to produce concomitant effects on the blank control area). Soil: Collect 1 basic sample from each typical field, monitor it once a year, and detect Cd, As, Pb, Hg and Cr. Plants: sample number: products (rice and rice straw) are sampled once a season per

296 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan hill, and the soil is sampled once a year per hill; for each time, the sample should be collected from both the project area (non-blank control area) and the blank control area. Irrigation water: in the above-mentioned selected fields (2 hills in each project area, altogether 6 hills) of balance monitoring point, one mixed sample should be collected each time the irrigation water enters, and 4 samples should be collected per hill every year (the sample should be collected from the inlets in field boundary where no cross-streaming or cross-irrigation exists). Dry and wet deposition of the atmosphere: conduct continuous monitoring for 5 years and collect the sample once every six months with the simple sedimentation tank collection method. Fertilizer: use the detection data of fertilizer monitoring to count the amount of heavy metals from the fertilizers in the field. 9. Monitoring of the By-product Vinasse of Wine-making by Rice with Over-standard Cadmium Monitor Cd, As, Pb, Hg and Cr; collect three samples from each batch of vinasses and conduct detection for each batch. The environmental monitoring plans for the twelve counties are detailed in Table 9-10 to Table 9-21.

Chapter 10 Conclusions

10.1 Project Overview

The project is the second batch of Hunan Integrated Management of Contaminated Agricultural Land in project counties with World Bank Loan. Its objectives are to analyze risk factors of heavy-metal-polluted agricultural lands in the second batch of 12 project counties in Hunan Province, borrow and introduce heavy-metal-polluted agricultural land management experience at home and abroad in the selected demonstration agricultural lands, establish risk-based integrated management mechanism for polluted agricultural land, demonstrate and popularize the integrated management mode within the final demonstration agricultural land scope, so as to achieve the target of producing safe grains. The project construction content mainly includes contents in four plates of risk-based agricultural land management demonstration, agricultural environment monitoring and management strengthening, project capability construction, and project management and evaluation.

10.2 Current Environmental Status

(1) Investigation and evaluation results of current environmental status for surface water In order to investigate and understand the irrigation water quality situation of each demonstration area, the project county entrusts Guangzhou Radio and Television Measurement Test (Hunan) Co., Ltd. to monitor the irrigation water source. It can be known from the monitoring results that, except that total phosphorus in the midstream and the upstream of Wushui River in Linwu County and ammonia nitrogen in the irrigation canal of Shuidong Village, Shuidong Demonstration Area exceed the level-III standard stated in Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water GB3838-2002, pH, CODCr, total phosphorous, ammonia nitrogen, As, Pb, Cd, Cr6+ and Hg in other demonstration areas reach the requirements in Standards for Irrigation Water Quality GB5084-2005 and

373 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan the level-III standard stated in Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water GB3838-2002. (2) Soil Quality Investigation and Evaluation Result According to the monitoring results, compared with the level-II standard stated in Environmental Quality Standard for Soils, the Cd content in agricultural land soils of the 12 project counties exceeds the standard value, the As content in a minority of agricultural land soils in demonstration areas at Baojing County, Huayuan County, Zhongfang County, Anhua County, Hengnan County, Yizhang County, Linwu County and Qiyang County exceeds the standard value; the Pb content in several agricultural land soils of Huayuan County Demonstration Area exceeds the standard value, and the Hg content in several agricultural land soil of demonstration areas at Linwu County and Qiyang County exceeds the standard value. (3) Investigation and Assessment of of current status of Irrigation Canal Sediments According to the monitoring results, compared with Environmental Quality Standard for Soils (GB15618-1995), the situation that sediments in the irrigation canals of the 12 demonstration areas exceed the level-II standard generally exists, and the situation that sediments in the irrigation canals of Yongshun County, Cili County, Anhua County, Yizhang County and Linwu County exceed the level-III standard generally exists.

10.3 Environmental Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures of Project

The civil works construction activities of the integrated management Project of agricultural land pollution in this project can be divided into two categories: ①Small-scale civil works construction including the front sedimentation basin, electric pumping station construction, impounding reservoir, motor-pumped well and small-scale field road maintenance (Reinforce the pavement level off only, and no increase the width and length of road); ②The field irrigation facility construction including the drainage canal and

374 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan irrigation canal renovation and the ecological intercepting ditch construction. The project civil works activities have impact on water environment, atmospheric environment, acoustic environment and ecological environment during construction. The civil construction activities are small-scale civil construction activities. The project is located around agricultural lands and there is no environmentally sensitive area inside or around the demonstration area. The scale of the project is very small. The number of construction workers for the project is not more than 5 – 10. There is no need to build construction camps, and land acquisition, demolition and ethnic minorities are not involved.

Dust, noise, waste water, solid waste, etc. may be produced during the construction process, but these effects are temporary and little. They are limited to a very small area of the construction area, and the impact disappears immediately after the construction is finished. In the agricultural activities, the following have an impact to the environment: waterflooding irrigation, lime application (adjust the pH value by soil acidification), manure fertilizer application, soil passivator application, growing structure adjustment, etc. Waterflooding irrigation during the grain-filling and heading period can reduce the heavy metal absorption by rice. Lime application can regulate the pH value of soil so as to reduce heavy metal absorption by crops, but excessive lime application may cause soil hardening. When applying lime, if no protective measure is taken, it may cause influence on health of the lime application personnel. The application of manure fertilizer can improve the physical and chemical nature of soil; however, the application of disqualified manure fertilizer may cause secondary contamination of heavy metal to agricultural land soil. The application of soil passivator can reduce activity of heavy metal. By removing straws out of the agricultural lands, heavy metal in straws can be removed out of the agricultural lands, which facilitates to reduce heavy metal in agricultural land soil. Therefore, although the construction scheme of the project may cause a certain environmental impact, such impact can be avoided and reduced by taking corresponding environmental measures, and the impact during the construction period is less and it is temporary, while the implementation of such project can increase grain safety and improve

375 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan the living quality of people. So, it is a project facilitating people’s livelihood, and the brought social and environmental benefits are long-term.

10.4 Social Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures of Project

All the agricultural activities of the project are carried out in agricultural lands, and no land acquisition, demolition and the minority is involved in it. In general, the integrated management Project of agricultural land pollution has positive impacts on the society. It can improve the soil in the project area, increase the yield of the agricultural products, improve the infrastructure condition and the ecological environment of the project area, fuel the social and economic development in the project area and improve the quality of the farmers and the comprehensive service level of agriculture. In addition, it is beneficial to the agricultural technology transfer and can improve the awareness to the agricultural heavy metal metal pollution prevention. The main negative social impacts are the transfer of the agricultural production structure that may happen, the requisition of some lands and the interest demands. The negative social impacts can almost be removed if reasonable and legal land requisition and proper compensation are realized.

10.5 Conclusions

The second batch of project counties in the Hunan Integrated Management project of Contaminated Agricultural Land with World Bank Loan involves 12 project counties. The project construction content includes risk-based agricultural land management demonstration, agricultural environment monitoring and management strengthening, project capability construction, and project management and evaluation; in the project, carry out the risk-based assessment on selected agricultural lands in the demonstration area, select applicable integrated technical management measures to demonstrate, strengthen management and control of agricultural land pollution sources and agricultural land pollution risks, and increase the safe utilization level of agricultural sources, so as to

376 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan achieve the target of producing safe grains. The implementation of the project can increase grain safety and improve the living quality of people. It is a project facilitating people’s livelihood, and has significant environmental and social benefits, and the beneficial effect is the main aspect. Its unfavorable impact mainly lies in the aspects of atmospheric environment, water environment, acoustic environment, etc., and it mainly occurs in the construction process of the project, the impact degree is small, and after taking the corresponding environmental protection measures, various unfavorable impacts are effectively controlled. Therefore, from the view of environmental protection, the overall evaluation thinks that the second batch of project counties in the Hunan Integrated Management project of Contaminated Agricultural Land with World Bank Loan does not have restrictive environmental and social impact factors, and the project construction is feasible.

On the social aspect, the social assessment shows that the positive impacts of integrated management of polluted farmland in Hunan Province is mainly reflected as follows: Positive impact within a short term is mainly reflected in: (1) Improve the work safety product awareness of stakeholders through project publicity; (2) Improve farmer households’ skills of work safety products through project training; (3) Reach a consensus on control of heavy metal pollution of farmland through public participation; (4) Create conditions for agricultural production through improvement of infrastructure; (5) Provide quality management of agricultural products with technical support through environmental management and monitoring of agricultural environment; (6) Improve risk resistance and product competitiveness of farmer households through cultivation of farmers’ professional collectives. Medium and long-term positive impact is mainly reflected in: (1) Significant ecological benefits: The heavy metal pollution of farmland has been administered in the Project through adoption of measures including source control, dynamic monitoring and soil repair to a certain extent, thus benefiting improvement of ecological environment; (2) Considerable economic benefits: The heavy metal pollution administration of farmland in the Project can realize improvement of selling prices of agricultural products, lowering of

377 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan agricultural production cost, improvement of land utilization efficiency and improvement of added value of agricultural products, which benefits the improvement of farmers’ production and living standards; (3) Obvious social benefits: The implementation of the Project benefits return of migrant workers. In particular, it creates relatively abundant jobs for women. It benefits poverty alleviation of poverty-stricken households and formulation of farmland pollution administration model. In case of smooth implementation of the project, a total growth of income of 44.835 million Yuan/year is expected to be created for farmers in 12 demonstration areas. A total of 12,000 posts are expected to be increased, including almost 7,000 posts for women. 5,030 poverty-stricken households for who files were established are expected to achieve poverty alleviation. The social assessment team thinks that the social risks of integrated management of polluted farmland in Hunan Province are mainly reflected in the followings: Social risks of growing alternative crops: The total curbing area of 12 project counties will be 6,152.33 ha., of which heavy pollution area 408.46 ha., accounting for 6.64% of the total. “VIP” management and application of organic fertilizer or planting green manure (F) and other measures are proposed to be taken in a total of 5,743.87 hectares of farmlands under control; crop restructuring is proposed to be implemented in a total area of 408.46 hectares. The possible social risks of growing the alternative crops in the heavy pollution project areas are: (1)Some farmers will not cooperate. Growing the alternative crops will need to change the planting habits and technology. PMOs and SA teams have conducted detailed survey and analysis, but in fact, a few farmers may not cooperate. (2)Management issue of the delivery of the subsidy of growing the alternative crops, the agreement is made regarding the subsidy standard, but some farmers are concerned about the transparency of the subsidy delivery. (3) Labors. Due to the fact that most strong labors already work outside as workers, most villages have not enough labors. Growing the alternative crops of flowers and trees need more labors, the project execution may lack labors.

Economic risks: Economic risks are mainly reflected in three aspects: (1) Social risks resulting from land remediation due to preservation of original planting habits: The first category is risk of marketing. Rice is replanted to low-cadmium varieties, and thus quality of rice grain will be affected to some extent, which means that existing marketing channels and methods may be affected. The second category refers to risk of failure of food to reach

378 Hunan Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals Hunan Integrated Management of Agricultural Land Pollution Project with World Bank Loan (The Second Batch of Project Counties) Environmental Management Plan standard. During the period of administration, some food may not completely reach the standard, which may influence food selling price. The third category is risk of output reduction. Replanting low-cadmium varieties will increase the risk of rice blast and may further lead to reduction of output. (2) Social risks from farmland crop restructuring: The first category is the risk of cost and benefits of replanted crops. The second category is the risk brought by market sales. It is required to establish new sales channels for replanted fruit trees, vegetables and cotton, so as to result in sales risk. Third, management risk. Replanting will not only implement new requirements on technical management of replanted crops but also require project villages to establish fair, transparent and standardized management procedures. (3) Social risks from adjustment of cropping system: The change of planting model may increase labor input. If no reasonable subsidy is obtained from the project, farmer’s net income will be lowered. According to survey data: in the process of crop restructuring, the top concern for rural residents is reduction of actual income in the same year (65.40%), followed by unmarketable replanted crops (42.30%) Public opinion risks: Public opinion risks are mainly classified into four types: The first category is the risk of improper attribution. The existing pollution condition is resulted from multiple aspects. Administration of soil pollution of farmland before launch of administration of other pollution may cause the local residents to attribute all problems to heavy metal pollution so as to put forward relevant claim appeals. The second category is the risk of exaggeration of heavy metal pollution. Government departments leading the launch of farmland heavy metal pollution administration in demonstration area can easily attach the label of heavy metal standard-surpassing in all agricultural products in demonstration area. The third category is the risk of resident’s environmental protection awareness. The main stakeholder groups have different orientations in their roles played in environmental pollution and environmental protection. Social actions to take are in the social assessment report.
