Executive Summary

1. The Yunnan Sustainable Road Maintenance (Sector) Project (the Project) is located in Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China. The Yunnan Department of Transport (YPDOT) is the executing agency and the Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB) the implementing agency. The latter manages non-tolled national highways, provincial roads and important county roads in the province. Condition of the network has been deteriorating resulting in a reduced level of service and safety, increased transport costs and environmental degradation. 2. The Project includes four outputs: maintenance of 866.8 km of national, provincial and county roads (Output 1); pilot of performance-based maintenance contracts (Output 2); development of a road asset management system (Output 3); and institutional development to enhance the performance and sustainability of YHAB road maintenance (Output 4). Maintenance activities will be implemented over five years in four Phases. 3. The Project was estimated to cost CNY 783.5283 million. The ADB loan will finance 68.7% or USD 80 million of the total project costs. YHAB’s Counterpart funds will be CNY 24544.83 or account for 31.3% of total investment. 4. The project management office of G211 line, the constructors and construction supervision companies performed their respective duties in accordance with the EMP. During implementation, environmental mitigation measures were carried out to reduce the impacts of construction on the surrounding environment and people’s health to the minimum as possible. They had minimized the pollution and improved local public transport.

IV. Implementation of EMP A. Detailed design drawings and bidding documents 21. The detailed design drawings include environment management, and EMP is also included in the bidding documents.

B. Institutional Arrangements 22. Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB), the implementing agency(IA), is responsible for organizing, coordinating and supervising the implementation of this component. The project management office of G211 line had been set up in Kunming General Section.

C. Construction Supervisors 23. Yunnan Yunlu Engineering Supervision Consulting Co., Ltd, with Class A construction supervision qualification, is the supervisor of S211 component. With good testing equipment and strong technical capacities of construction supervision, this CSC has undertaken all types (I,II,III) of highway project supervision.

D. Implementation status of the mitigation measures 24. Implementation status of the mitigation measures during this reporting period are summarized in the Appendix 1. The implementation status of the mitigation measures are summarized in the last columns of the tables for comparison with the designed mitigation measures stated in the EMP. In summary, the mitigation measures have to date been implemented effectively. 25. In accordance with clauses and technical specifications in the construction contracts and the EMP, corresponding mitigation measures are adopted during construction management. Specific measures are shown as follows (The site photos pls. see the Appendix 2): 26. Water: There is a small reservoir within the component area- Xizhelong reservoir, which mainly serves for local agricultural water. In the maintenance section of S211 line, about 50m will be constructed along the reservoir. Main measures are shown as below: a. No soil borrowing or spoil was required,therefore, it does not have construction wastewater. During the construction period, a small amount of construction dust flew into the water, but had little impact. b. Equipment maintenance and refueling were undertaken in the fixed places, rather than on the construction sites, which did not permeate into the water body.

c. The equipments and vehicles were cleaned up in the vicinity of nearby car washing shops, so the maintenance section did not generate vehicle washing wastewater. d. The maintenance component involves pavement gradation, cement stability layer and asphalt directly on the original road, excluding few parts needed to be replaced, did not generate construction wastewater. e. The constructors leased the existing asphalt mixing station, which was set in the abandoned quarries, without any water body or resident nearby. The asphalt spill was also collected and processed in the container. The groundwater was not affected by surface runoff. f. On construction sites, no new barrack was built. The S211 line project management office, the supervisors and the contractors rented house of local villagers as workplace, with toilet and septic tank. Domestic wastewater and catering wastewater was not directly discharged. 27. Air: The impact of the air quality is mainly from smoke, dust and exhaust of construction machinery and vehicle, etc..Main mitigation measures are shown as below: g. The constructor was equipped with 6 sprinklers, 2 times a day, and increased to 4 times at construction section near the villages. h. Hauling trucks in bulk materials were covered by canvas as much as possible to reduce the dust during transport. i. Material mixing stations were built on the abandoned quarry, without any resident nearby, therefore, the generated dust little effect to the public. 28. Noise: Noise pollution at construction stage is mainly caused by the construction machinery and vehicle hauling activities. The constructor worked from 8:00-18:00 time during daytime, and at night without construction. If at construction section near the villages, construction stopped during 12:00-14:00 to avoid disturbance with the villagers. 29. Solid waste: During construction period, the earth materials, asphalt, gravel were piled in the slope less than 5% in the fixed places. 30. Soil erosion. Soil erosion of the component was mainly caused by solid waste, construction waste, leaking oil in case of rain runoff. Main mitigation measures are shown as below: j. Only a small amount of pavement material was used to repair the pavement, so did not need to dispose of solid waste. k. Before daily construction, firstly checking the construction vehicles

and machinery status. If any problem, the vehicle was sent to the nearest vehicle repair shop for maintenance. Vehicle was refueled in the refueling station in the vicinity. l. On the construction sites, there was no vehicle maintenance and refueling. m. Renting nearby village houses as a living area and office area, so the garbage generated by the construction workers was collected by the community sanitation department. n. The constructors leased the existing asphalt mixing station, which was set in the abandoned quarries, without any water body or resident nearby. The asphalt spill was also collected and processed in the container. The groundwater was not affected by surface runoff.

31. Flora and Fauna: Within the scope of construction area, no ancient tree has been found. The construction sites was limited on the original road, without expansion or no excavation and blasting operations, therefore, it did not affect the roadside farmland and trees. 32. Health and Safety. Health and safety education is the important content during construction period. Most construction workers are local villagers. If any illness, they went to local community hospitals for medical treatment. In order to ensure the construction safety and quality, before construction, the constructors conducted safety and skills training for all the staff. Main mitigation measures are shown as below: o. Worker personal protection. Before construction, all construction workers are trained on use of personal protection equipments. p. At the construction sections, the bulletin boards were erected. q. All workers were provided with protective masks, gloves, safety vest, helmet and protective shoes, etc..On-site construction workers were wearing eye-catching safety vest. r. Renting local village houses as office space, equipped with drinking water, life necessities, and clean public toilets. s. Daily supervision and inspection of the construction workers whether safety protection measures were completed, the construction equipments were under normal operation according to standard procedures. Daily or weekly logs of supervision were kept. t. Irregular maintenance on the vehicles and construction machinery. u. Regularly inspecting the cable lines in the construction area to

eliminate the safety hazard. 33. Landscape: S211 line is not within the scope of the scenic area, so the natural landscape will not be significantly impacted. The construction equipment and material was only temporarily stored, will be recovered after completion. Main mitigation measures are shown as below: v. The village houses were rented as office space and for living. Construction sheds were built along the sides of the road, so the landscape was not affected. w. Rented houses were equipped with garbage pool. The community sanitation management department regularly collected then transported to the landfill for disposal. x. Trucks with bulk materials were covered with canvas in order to keep the vehicle clean and tidy as possible. y. No new path was built to avoid the destruction of land or vegetation. z. Mixing station and material yard were leased with local existing equipment and facilities, and will be recovered after completion.

E. Analysis of Environmental Monitoring Results 34. Water quality monitoring: Xizhelong Village reservoir mainly functions for agricultural irrigation. The SS should meet the The Water Quality Standards For Irrigation (Ministry of agriculture, see Table 2), and other indicators should meet Class III standard of Environmental Quality Standards For Surface Water (GB3838-2002, see Table 3). YSRI conducted on-site sampling and monitoring on Xizhelong Village reservoir. The monitoring results are indicated as follows (see Table 4).

35. Evaluation of water quality monitoring results. The monitoring results of Xizhelong Village reservoir show little change in water quality between pre-construction and construction period, and water quality have both reached the class I of Surface Water Environmental Quality Standards (GB3838-2002). It is relatively dry in winter in Yunnan, with less rainfall or surface runoff. At the same time, it also shows that the construction of the component did not cause water pollution by. 36. Air quality monitoring. The main pollutants in the construction period are dust and asphalt. Along the road, the Class II standard in the Ambient Air Quality Standard "(GB3095 - 2012) should be complied with, as shown in table 7. YSRI undertook on-site air quality monitoring. The results are as follows (see Table 6).

37. Evaluation of air quality monitoring results. From the above data, the air monitoring indicators, PM10, NO2 and SO2, before construction and construction period, had little change and both were better than Class II standard in the Ambient Air Quality Standard "(GB3095 - 2012). It shows that the construction activity has no serious influence on the surrounding air quality. 38. Noise monitoring: The construction noise has a certain effect on the sound environment quality, which is mainly caused by the construction machinery and vehicles. 39. For S211 line, the Class 4a standard in the Standards for Acoustic Environmental Quality (GB3096-2008) (see Table 7) should be complied with. During construction phase, Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary Of Construction Site （GB12523-2011(see table 8) is applicable.

40. Evaluation of noise monitoring results. 9 representative monitoring points was set along the S211 line. The main noise source during construction period is social traffic noise and construction machinery noise. Because construction is prohibited at night, construction machinery noise has little effect on the surrounding residents. All the monitoring result meets national standards. F. Institutional Capacity Building and Training 41. YHAB strengthened the implementation of the component, and facilitated with environment, social, safety and other aspects of experts. 42. The PMO, S211 line project management office, CSC, and the constructors assigned EHS staffs. Please see Table 11. Table- 11 List of EHS Staffs

43. In order for implement the mitigation measures and environmental monitoring, before entering construction sites, ADB's environmental

experts provided training related to environmental protection to the CSCs and constructors. The training was mainly focused on implement the mitigation measures and environmental monitoring. Training activities were held in the S211 line project management office meeting room. Training activities include the following aspects: a. Understanding and application of internationally accepted environmental management practices. b. Compliance monitoring method, required equipment and methods. c. Compliance monitoring information analysis. d. Environmental safeguards enforcement methods and measures. e. Training contents include case studies and field trips.

V. Public Consultation, Information Disclosure and Grievance Redress Mechanism A. Public Consultation, Information Disclosure 44. On March 10th of 2015, YSRI carried out a public opinion survey to the public along S211 line. The below questions asked are as follows: (I) Do you think there is any impact of the noise and dust generated during construction on your production and life? (ii) During the construction period, is there any influence on your trip due to traffic control? (iii) Any impact on your farmland and crops during the construction period? (iv) How do you think the constructors to take measures to mitigate environmental pollution? (v) Should overloading vehicles be controlled? 45. During consultation, some villagers said during construction period there was a small amount of environmental impact, but the impact period was short, the constructors took mitigation measures, such as regular watering, stopping construction at noon time, and covering haulage vehicles with canvas, etc..These measures reduced dust a lot. After the completion of the component, these impacts will be reduced or disappear. Respondents said they supported the road maintenance component. Table- 12 List of Persons Consulted With

STEP 2 ESSU to Resolve issue with YHAB facilitate and Maintenance or General 2 weeks track Section resolution and report to ADB STEP 3 Resolve issue with 2 weeks Prefecture Government

Figure- 1 Procudures of Project GRM

46. The basic grievance redress steps are described below and shown in Figure 4. The ESSU will be responsible for facilitating, tracking and reporting grievance resolution at each step: Step 1: The affected person should first try to resolve the issue of concern directly with the contractor and the local village committee. A solution must be presented within five days. If successful, no further follow-up is required. Step 2: If there is no resolution the person can file the grievance with the county office of YHAB, the Maintenance Section or the Prefecture level Office the General Section. A resolution must be reached within two weeks Step 3: If no resolution is found the complainant can take the next step and contact the county or prefecture government offices where resolution will be required within two weeks.

VI. Conclusions and Suggestions 47. During construction, the S211 line project management office, the constructors and CSCs had taken the corresponding environmental impact mitigation measures in the EMP. The construction noise, dust and wastewater, and other impacts on the surrounding environment were reduced to a minimum. 48. Through field inspection, according to relevant national environmental protection laws and regulations, ADB's SPS (2009) and the EMP, the constructors strengthened environmental protection, water conservation, safety and other aspects. The environmental impacts of the component during the construction period were limited, and the construction period was short. With the completion of the component, the pollution will be eliminated in time, and the environment will revert to the state better than the original. From the point of view of the whole process of construction, the constructors strictly abided by the provisions, actively took mitigation measures to reduce pollution. So it obtained the strong support of the local community and the village. During this period, no any pollution complaint did occur. 49. Suggestions: (i) Local villagers were hired, and their mobility was frequent. To address their potential safety issue, it is recommended to provide safety education and training before hire local villagers in a timely manner. (ii) Some road safety signs were not obvious or missing, so should be promptly installed or repaired. And (iii) Safety and environmental protection awareness education should be carried out to improve safety and environmental awareness of the villagers and construction workers then to reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage.
