Background of the Project 1. The study work of Xiangtan-Leiyang Expressway belonging to Hunan highway corridor project (formerly termed MXiangtan-LeiyangSection of Beijing-ZhuhaiNational Highway, Xiangtan-Yizhang Expressway')started in September, 1992. The prefeasibility study report of the project was finishedin November,1993, and the feasibilitystudy reportwas completed in May, 1995. The preliminary design was finished in February, 1995. As agreed upon by Hunan Provincial Communications Department and experts from the World Bank in October, 1995, this project contains Xiangtan-Leiyanghighway (the main road), nine linking-roads and the subproject-Loudi-LianyuanClass II Auto-only highway. 2. The HighwayScience Research Institute of the MOC was entrusted with the environmentalassessment for the project by Hunan Communications Department in September, 1993. The research institute holds Class A certificate on environmental assessment awarded by China National EnvironmentalProtection Agency (NAPA). The project's Environmental Assessment Synopsis was examined and approved by the National Environmental Agency in April, 1995. The environmentalimpacts assessment was examined and approvedby both the EnvironmentalOFFice of the Ministry of Communications and the NationalEnvironmental Agency in November, 1995. 3. The experts from the World Bank has checked the following reports: EnvironmentalImpacts Assessment (EIA) in April, 1995, Environmental Assessment Plan (EAP) in July, 1995, Environmental Assessment Summary (EAS) in November, 1995, all the three concerningXiangtan- Leiyang Highway Project and its eight linking-roads. Besides, the world Bank experts checked the EIA and EAP of the subproject, i.e. Loudi- Lianyuan Highway,the EIA of the linking road betweenTian Taishan in Zhuzhou and Yi Shuhe (Tianyi road) in Xiangtan respectivelyin Duly, November,November, 1995. Based on suggestions given by the experts afterchecking the aforementionedreports, final revisionshave been made by the assessingunit and Hunan ProvincialCommunications Department. 4.

It is estimated the total investmentis 4.302 billion yuan.There are 9 linking roads with a total length of 39km, in which the distance of 8 roadsamounts to 23km in length. 7. The linking road between Tian Taishan in Zhuzhou and Yi Shuhe in Xiangtan is the longest included in Xiangtan-Leiyanghighway project. It has a total length of 16.056km, being Class I road and containing 4 lanes. 2 The designed drive speed is 1COkm/h and the subgrade is 24.5m. Altogetherthere will set up 2 interchanges. 4 level intersection,3 big and medium bridges. Land to be used is 1124.57mu (equal to 74.97 hectares).It is estimated that the total investmentis 123.68 million yuan, and the earth and stone work is 1.1 51208 million m3. 8. Loudi-LianyuanClass II Auto-only highway is 59.6km in total length, with 4 lanes and designed drive speed being 80km/h. The subgrade is 1Sm.

Land to be used is 2835 mu (equal to 189 hectares),with 4.65749 million m 3 of earth and stone work. The estimatedinvestment amounts to 426.23 million yuan. C. Description of the Primary Environment 9. TopographicalFeatures (1) The proposedXiangtan-Leiyang rcad is located in the mid-southof Hunan Province,whose altitude decreases from the middle to both north and south: in north lies the Xiangtan-Hengshan red soil basin; in the middle extends Shiwan-Than lightly hilly or hilly terrain; in the south is the sout,hernHengyang basin. Landforms along the road are mainly erosive- accumulativeplain and slightly hilly terrain. In some areasis lightly hilly or hilly terrainerosive-denudation of erosive denudation.The seismic degree is lessthan IV deqree. (2) The Tiantaishan-yishuhe linking road lies between Zhuzhou city and Xianr'tancity, both located in Middle Hunan Province.Topography of the arca is plain or lightly hilly land. of quite great undulation. Hilltops are perfectiyround and bedrock appear exposed in most paris. (3) Loudi-Lianyuan highway is situated in Middle Hunan Province, topographicallybeing low hilly land with some sections atong the road having quite great undulation. General feature is that the altitude decreasesform both south and north to the middle, and that the river valleyis relativelywide. The areaswhere the project lies are of heavysoil erosion. 10. Climateand Hydrology The project areas have a temperate climate with four distinguished seasons, adequate heat, concentration of rainfiall, varying spring temDerature,drought-attacked summer and autumn, short-termcoldness ano long-termsummer. The annual averagetemperature is 17.2-17.9 °C, andthe annualaverage rainfalil 1315.0-1409.6mm with 70% concentrating in the periodfrom April to July. South wind prevailsin summer and mainly northor north-eastwind in the other seasons at the aeneralvelocity of 2.1 mlsecondor so. The area of Loudi-Lianyuan road has a slower wind velocityand a smaller rainfall amount. Withinthe area of the proposed Xiangtan-Leiyangexpressway as well as its Tiantaishan-Yishuhe linking road, all the rivers, which belong to Xiangjiangwater system, have water-flows all-year-round.Due to basically

General 1.1 Motivation Xiangjiang River, originating from HaiyangshanMountain of Linchuan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is the biggest river within Hunan Province and a first-grade branch of Yangtze River. It runs through Hunan Province from south to north and empties into YangtzeRiver at Chenglingjiof Yueyang city, with a total length of 969 km and a drainage area of 94,660 km2. Hunan's major industrial cities such as Yueyang, Changsha,Xiangtan, Zhuzhou and Hengyang are all situated on its riverside. 70% of the large & medium-scale enterprises thereof are sited along Xiangjiang River, therefore, Xiangjiang River is regarded as the economic corridor of Hunan Province. In 1999, Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Government set forward a strategic target aiming at acceleratingthe priority regional economy development, known as One Point and One Line, and speeding up the economic integration program of three cities, respectivelyknown as Changsha,Zhuzhou and Xiangtan.
