TrainingProgram for RIPAProjects AppendixA Key Elementsof the EnvironmentalAction Plan (EAP)of Road Improvement Programfor Poverty Alleviation INTROODUCTION The road improvementprogram for poverty alleviation (RIPA)is an integral part of HenanII Highway Project. The first batch of such projects involve 31 road segmentsincluded in 12 systems distributedin 10 poverty counties in 5 cities andprefectures of HenanProvince. See Table 1 for brief descriptionsand Map 1 for locationsof these projects. Thesesegments are small in size and at low grades.Out of the 31 segments,5 (with a grand length of 80 km) are to be newly constructed,while the rest 26 segments(with a total length of 766 km) are upgradingof existing roads.The total cost of these segmentsis estimatedat 301.05 million RMB. Sincethese road segmentsare large in numberand most of them are upgradingof existing roads,the sectoralenvironmental assessment approach is proposedto be applied. In line with project descriptionsand field surveys, these projects are classified into two categories,namely, Category A projects: those which may have potentially significant environmental impacts. This category includes new road construction,upgrading of existing roads with substantial widening and land acquisition,and other road upgradingprojects passingthrough environmentallyspecial ares such as natural reserves,sanatoriums, historical sites and cultural relics. CategoryB projects:those which are not expectedto have significant environmental impacts. This categoryincludes widening, improvingand upgradingof existing roads without substantialland acquisitionand relocation. For Category A projects, both EIAsand EAPsare required, but Category B projectsonly need EAPs. As screenedand identified,the first batch RIPAprojects under HenanII Highway Projectare classified as shown in Table2. Laws/regulationsand standardsrelated to the first batch RIPAroads under HenanII Highway Project are as follows: Laws and Reoulations (a) EnvironmentalProtection Law of the People'sRepublic of China (PRC); (b) Air PollutionControl Law of PRC; (c) Water PollutionControl Law of PRC; (d) Noise Control Regulationof PRC; (e) Cultural RelicsPreservbaion Law of PRC; Page-1 (f) Land ManagementLaw of PRC; (g) EnvironmentalProtection ManagementMeasures for Construction Projects (NEPA document No. 003, 1986); (h) EnvironmentalProtection Management Measures for Transportation Construction Projects (MOCdocument No. 17, 1990); (i) Regulationson EnvironmentalProtection of ConstructionProjects in HenanProvince. EnvironmentalStandards As agreedby the local environmentalprotection agencies,environmental standards applied to the EIA of RIPAprojects are as follows: (a) Class II standardsof AtmosphericAir QualityStandards (GB3095-82); (b) Class IV standardsof (ClassII standardsfor schoolsand hospitals)of NoiseStandards for UrbanAreas (GB3096-93);and (c) Class IV standardsof SurfaceWater QualityStandards (GPt3838-88).

Going southwest along the ChantangRiver to pass by Getashang,Shimen and Hengchunao,this segmentcovers 18 km before it ends at ChantangVillage. 1.1.1.2 Main TechnicalIndices and Work Quantities The main technical andwork quantitiesof 7-2# and 7-3# segmentsincluded in 7# system are as delineatedin Table 1-1-1. 7-2 segmentis partly upgradingof existing road. Its newly constructedpart will be basedon the existing non-all-weatherearth subgrade which will be widenedto 6.5 m. Also, the surface condition will be improvedfor the earth roadto be turned into an all-weathersegment. As a matter of fact, this segmentis just as a new project. As for 7-3# segment,there exists a subgradewhich is only 3 m wide. As a simple path, the existing road makes it impossiblefor vehiclesto pass on in case of rainy days. Also, there is adequate provision of bridges and culverts. This proposed project involves widening the subgradeto 6.5 m, additional provision of bridges/culvertsand improvementof the road surface. In this way, it will turn an all-weatherroad. This segmentis also consideredas a new project. 7-2# segment includes 9 km along the Baihe River, while 7-3# segment goes along the ChantangRiver at its full length of 18 km. The designlife spanof both 7-2# and 7-3# segmentsis 15 years. 1.1.1.3 ConstructionSchedule Preparationworks of both 7-2# and 7-3# segmentswill be completedby the year of 1995. Both segments,started in early 1995, will be completedto be opento traffic in late 1996. Page-5 1.1.2 14# Road System This system consists of 14-2# and 14-3# segmP:its both of which are Category A projects and are located in Mianchi County. 1.1.2.1 Location and Alignment 14-2# Segment (Tianchi-Hongyang): Starting at Tianchi Xiang which lies in the southeast of Mianchi County, it leads northeast to pass across the Jianhe River and Long-Hai railway, then it trends north to and at Hongyang Xiang in the east of the county which it connects national road No. 310. The total length is 12 krr. 14-3# Segment (Tianchi-Yima): Covering a total length of 10 km, it starts at Tianchi Xialig, links 14-4# segment (Category A project) and then and ends at the south part of Yima City.
