Introduction Hebei Province will seek US$ 150 million from the World Bank to develop the Hebei Urban Environmental Project, which includes water supply projects in Tangshan and Handan cities, and wastewater treatment projects in Shijiazhuang, Tangshan and Handan cities. The total investment is RMB 2,6 billion, of which US$150.0 million will come from the World Bank loan, while the rest will be raised by corresponding host cities. Table 1 summarizes the basic information of the project components.

The Hai River syst:emis experiencing serious water pollution due to large amount of wastewater discharged directly to watercourses without treatment. The water pollution control plan for the basin has been enlisted in the Comprehensive Water Pollution Control Plan for Three Rivers (Huai River, Hai River and Liao River) and Three Lakes (Chao Lake, Tai Lake and Dianchi Lake), issued by the State Environrnental Protection Administration (SEPA) of China. Based on the Circular on Strengthening Environmental Impact Assessment Management for Construction Projects Financed by International Financial Organizations (Huanjianzi [1993] No.. 324) and requirements of the 'Operational Policy 4.01: Environmental Assessment (OP4.01 )', the PMO of the Hebei Urban Environmental Project required that the sub-project host cities entrust environmental assessment institutions to compile environmental impact assessment reports for the individual sub-projects. The PMO has also entrusted the Center for Environmental Assessment (CEA) of the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) to compile the Environmental Impact Assessment Report of the overall Hebei Urban Environmental Project (HUEP). The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports for Tangshan urban environmental project were compiled by the CREAS, and the EIA reports for Shijiazhuang and Handan urban environmental projects are by the North China Civil Design and Research Academy (NCCDRA), in accordance with TOR for EIAs approved by State Environmental Protection Administration (SF,PA). The EIA for individual sub-projects are categorized as Class B. TORs of the overall EIA has passed technical review and approval of SEPA. The category of the overall EIA of the Prcject is determined to be Class B. The overall EIA report (draft) was compiled on the basis of the EIA reports of the individual sub-projects and submitted to the World Bank mission for reviewing in Oct. 1998. 3 The EIA report (final version) bas been approved by the SEPA in November 1999, in which significant attention was paid to the concerns of the World Bank missions. II. Project Description The characteristics of the water supply and wastewater treatment components of the HUEP are summarized in Table 2 and Table 3 respectively.

Baseline Data Shijiazhuang City: Shijiazhuang city is the capital of Hebei Province, and one of the key industrial bases in North China with major industries in textile, construction material, coal and metallurgy. 4 The Futuo and Xiao Rivers are two major water courses near by the urban area. The Xiao River flows eastward through the south of urban and converges into Fuyang River at Aixin village site downstream of Handan city. The Xiao received municipal and industrial wastewater from the counties and cities along its course. Wastewater in Shijiazhuang urban area is almost entirely discharged into the Xiao through the Dongming channel, Ximing channel, and the master drainage channel. The Xiao has become a de facto wastewater discharge channel. Artificial channels in this area are the Shijin channel, Dongming channel, Ximing channel, Ximing channel Yuanmingcun channel and the master drainage channel, all of which are a part of the combined system. Monitoring data collected during the period of 1994A1996 show that water quality of the Xiao is not in compliance with Class V with water quality parameter of DO, CODcr,BOD 5, volatile phenol and oil. However, the concentration of heavy metals meet standards for Class V. The monitoring data collected at the section between the master drainage charnel and Shiban bridge on the Xiao River from November 1997 to March 1998 confirms this. There are four drainage systems serving urban areas, the West Bridge sewerage system, East Bridge sewerage system, Changan sewerage system, and the North drainage system of Shijin channel, none of which are completely separate system. The total length of open channels amount to 37.443 kin, and flood-proof dikes amount to 32 km. There are 20 sewage pump stations. Tangshan City Tangshan is one of the largest industrial cities in Hebei Province. The hydrologic region of TIangshanis divided into the Luan River basin, Shadou River basin and Jiyunhe Canal collective respectively. The Douhe river crosses the central area from north to south, and flows into the Bohai Bay. The main stream length of the
