Minfeng Line Project shall be prepared and constructed synchronously with Jinze Reservoir Project of Upper Huangpu Raw Water Intake System project (hereinafter referred to as Jinze Reservoir Project) and Pipe Routing Project of Upper Huangpu Raw Water Intake System project (hereinafter referred to as Pipe Routing Project) and its normal operation will depend on the construction and operation of these two upper projects, therefore, the report also summarizes the environmental and social impacts of these two projects. At present, Environmental Impact Assessment Report of these three projects has been approved by Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau and meets the procedure requirements for environmental assessment of domestic construction project. The report includes key environmental and social security matters related to construction and operation of these three project above, describes main findings and conclusions of environmental assessment and summarizes main protection measurements. Jinze Reservoir Project is located in Qingpu County, southwest of Shanghai City; Upper Pipe Routing Project is located in Qingpu and Songjiang District, starting from Water Conveyor Pumping Station of Jinze Reservoir and ending at Minfeng Diversion Chamber and connected with Minfeng Line.Starting point of Minfeng Line Project is the section connecting with Minfeng Diversion Chamber of the Pipe Routing Project, divided into Minhang Conveyor and Fengxian Conveyor. Considering potential environmental and social impacts. The project is listed as Class A project. The owner has engaged an environmental assessment unit, Shanghai Investigation, Design & Research Institute which have Grade A qualification to make comprehensive environment assessment. Also Shanghai Academy of Environmental Sciences has prepared an Environmental Management Plan. Security polices of the World Bank applicable to the project include: (1) OP4.01 Environmental assessment; (2) OP4.04 natural habitat; (3) OP 4.37 dam safety; (4) involuntary resettlement. According to the design of Shanghai Urban Environmental Project (APL2 and 3),DFV is responsible for development and implementation management of Minfeng Line Project. In accordance with social and environmental security system prescribed in DFV manual, DFV is responsible for and has carried out an assessment for the project as well as has submitted an assessment report to the World Bank. During project implementation period, environmental and social monitoring and report of DFV will cover Minfeng Line, Pipe Routing Project and Jinze Reservoir project. SHANGHAI CHENGTOU RAW WATER CO.LTD, as the owner of these three projects, will accept DFV’s supervision and be responsible for implementation of Environmental Management Plan. Environmental Impact Assessment Report and Environmental Management Plan are both in line with security polices of the World Bank and its EHS requirements. Completed Environmental Impact Assessment Report of Minfeng Line Project has been announced on website of Shanghai Environment Online on June 16, 2014; and completed Environmental Impact Assessment Reports of Jinze Reservoir -1- EA Executive Summary of DFV Subproject –Minfeng Raw Water Conveyors Project Project and Pipe Routing Project have been also announced on website of Shanghai Environment Online on August 26, 2014 and August 4, 2014 for public notice. The environmental assessment executive summary is prepared on the basis of conclusion and suggestions of Environmental Impact Assessment Report, Environmental Management Plan and resettlement action plan. Implementation of Minfeng Line Project is in line with overall plan of Shanghai City that has been examined and approved by State Council and will contribute a lot to urban development and environmental protection. The project is designed to strengthen the protection of Upper Huangpu Raw Water Intake System, improve security capacity of Minhang and Fengxian Water Source, improve raw water quality and get obvious environmental benefits Environmental assessment executive summary comprehensively assesses the potential environmental and social impacts related to construction and operation of Minfeng Line Project and environmental and social impacts of associated projects. During project implementation, some adverse impacts may occur, mainly including land acquisition and resettlement during construction and direct impact led to local region by construction. In order to further ensure implementation of environmental protection work and mitigation measures, separate Environmental Management Plan is prepared, in which sufficient mitigation measures are established in order to avoid, reduce, mitigate or offset social and environmental impacts. Professional institute shall supervise, monitor and manage the environmental work of Minfeng Line. Public investigation shows that most of the impacted people have a positive attitude towards the project and they believe that implementation of the project will improve local water environment quality, raise living standard and promote economic development. The negative opinions on the project is mainly the concern about environmental pollution during construction. The project owner has established environmental mitigation measures in order to solve the public concern. -2- EA Executive Summary of DFV
