This consolidated environmental impact assessment (CEIA) contains the results of the environmental assessment undertaken for the Hai River Estuary Area Pollution Control and Ecosystem Rehabilitation Project (the Project). It is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) (2009) on the basis of the domestic EIA reports that meet the requirements of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) EIA Law (2003) and associated regulations. The Project is classified as category A in accordance with ADB environmental classification criteria. 2. The domestic EIA reports have been prepared by Tianjin Academy of Environmental Science (TAES), a local EIA institute certified by the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), using methodologies and standards consistent with national guidelines. The approval authority for the domestic EIAs is the Tianjin Environmental Protection Department (TEPD). The Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) consultants assisted with the finalization of the EIA reports. 3. The Project focuses on the improvement and rehabilitation of ecosystem in the Hai River estuary area through pollution control, wetland restoration and capacity building. The environmental benefits include reduction of water pollution, removal of the canal sediment contamination, mitigation of storm surge damages, and capability enhancement of the environmental emergency response. 4. The incremental
