Chapter I General 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Project origin At present, the Grand Western Development Program and Urban and Rural Integrative Development Strategy, determined by the Central Government, are under full implementation in Sichuan Province, in which, as a key link, construction of small towns is of significant importance. However, current status in development of small towns in Sichuan is far from being satisfactory. In the nationwide selection for “One Thousand Powerful Towns” in 2006, the selected towns in the four provinces (municipalities) at Yangtze River Delta and , i.e. , , and , account for as high as 74.6%. Only four towns in Sichuan characterized by huge population were selected, which clearly shows the big gap. Therefore, promoting development of small towns, especially infrastructure construction, became an important measure to break through the existing pattern. Sichuan Small Towns Development Project (SSTDP) by WB Loans is the infrastructure construction project approved by the State Council and sponsored by WB Loans, and also the 4th urban construction and environmental protection project by WB loans implemented in Sichuan, which was listed in the “Plan of Candidate Projects for Utilization of WB Loans during 2008-2010” (FGWZ [2007] No. 2536) in Sep. 2007 and has been listed in the “Plan of WB Loans for Fiscal Years of 2009-2011” (CGJ [2008] No. 111) by now. In accordance with the Several Suggestions on Promoting Healthy Development of Small Towns and relevant spirits of the National Development and Reform Committee, the people’s governments at all the districts and counties strive to improve living conditions for the residents and promote development of regional economy, under the subject of scientific development and by means of speeding up construction of the key small towns. Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Committee approved, in succession, all the subprojects under SSTDP by WB Loans, in August 2009. The client of each subproject entrusted the organization qualified for environmental impact assessment to perform environmental impact assessment according to the Law of the People’s Republic of on Environmental Impact Assessment and Regulations on the Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection, and the environmental impact assessment reports of all the subprojects have already been completed now. 1.1.2 Necessity of construction All the subprojects under SSTDP belong to municipal works in cities and towns, which include road construction, (environmental) waterway treatment, wastewater interception pipe network and construction of wastewater treatment plant. Implementation of the works contributes to local social and economic development and accelerating urban and rural integrative construction under overall planning, and is very necessary to improve regional ecological environment, to prevent flood and intercept wastewater, as well as to upgrade living quality. 1.2 Basis for EA report preparation 1.2.1 PRC laws and regulations 1.

Surface water, water area of III type, Flow from north Water protection area for to south, direct 6 environment and average fish, has through project ecology functions as scenic construction area spots, irrigation and power generation The above environmental protection purposes can be divided into ecological sensitive area, surface water body river and habitants residence. The ecological sensitive area only covers Zhoujiaci provincial heritage conservation unit. Waterway works of Environmental Treatment Subproject of Hongya County (Hongchuan Town) cross the construction control zone of Zhoujiaci and they are not located in protection scope of cultural property. Since their construction has little impact upon Zhoujiaci, relic protection authorities have issued a letter on approval of the project crossing the construction control zone of Zhoujiaci. All surface water bodies of the Project belong to Yangtze River valley and they are located at different branches. SSTDP mostly covers such projects as municipal roads and environmental treatment and its main impacts upon water environment are disturbances to surface water body during construction period, which are short-term impacts controllable in local area. It has no impact during

13 operation period. In addition, environmental treatment project can intercept wastewater and reduce drainage which is favorable for improvement of water quality.

Chapter III Regional Environment Overview 3.1 Natural condition 3.1.1 Overview of natural condition of Sichuan Province 1. Geographic location Sichuan Province is located in the southwest of China, in the upper reaches of Yangtze River, and at east longitude 92°21 -108°12 DQd north latitude 26°03 -34°19  ,WLV 1075km long from east to west and 900km wide from south to north. It borders on Municipality in the east, Province and Province in the south, Tibet Autonomous Region in the west and Qinghai Province, Gansu Province and Province in the north. Its area reaches 485,000km2, being ranked at the 5th place among all provinces/municipalities/autonomous regions of China, next to Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Tibet Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province. 2. Topography The topography of the whole province is complicated and varies from east to west. Sichuan is located at the first and the second ones of the three major steps in the topography of China mainland, namely, at the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as the first step and the plain in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River as the second step. The province shows a significant elevation difference, obviously higher in the west and lower in the east. The west part of Sichuan Province comprises plateau and mountain land, over 4000m in altitude; the east part of Sichuan Province comprises basin and hill, between 1000m and 3000m in altitude. The whole province can be divided into three parts, i.e., , Northwest Sichuan Plateau and Sichuan Basin in the east part is one of the four major basins of China, 165,000km2 in area. The basin is surrounded by Qinling Mountains, with Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain in its east, Dalou Mountain in its south and Longmen Mountain and Qionglai Mountain in its northwest. The basin has a warm and humid climate, warm in winter and hot in summer, with an annual precipitation of 900-1200mm in most parts. The climate is a subtropical humid monsoon climate. The vegetation is subtropical broad leaved evergreen forest. The agriculture is double-cropped. The west part of the basin is West Sichuan Plain, where soil is fertile; this part is Dujiangyan Gravity Irrigation Area, where farmland is productive. The middle part of the basin is purple soil hills, with an altitude of 400-800m; the topography is slightly inclined towards south; Minjiang River, Tuojiang River and flow southwards into Yangtze River from the mountain land in the north. The east part of the basin is East Sichuan Paralleled Ridge-Valley, comprising Mountain, Tongluo Mountain and Mingyue Mountain. The northwest part of the province is Northwest Sichuan Plateau, as a corner in the southeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of 3000-5000m. The climate is puna. The vegetation is alpine meadow. 3. Climatic condition

24 As for Sichuan Basin central subtropical humid climate zone, the whole year is warm and humid, with an average temperature of 16-18 and accumulated temperature of 4000-60007KHGDLO\UDQJHRIDLUWHPSHUDWXUHLVVPDOODQGWKHDQQXDOUDQJHRIDLU temperature is large. Winter is warm and summer is hot. The frost-free period is 230- 340 days. The cloud amount is large and the fine days are less. The sunshine time is short, only 1000-1400 hours a year, 600-800 hours less than that of the areas in the lower reaches of Yangtze River at the same latitude. The precipitation is abundant, 1000-1200mm annually, over 50% in summer, especially at night. As for subtropical subhumid climate zone of Southwest Sichuan mountainous region, the air temperature of the whole year is high, 12-20 in average annually. The daily range of air temperature is large and the annual range of air temperature is small. The morning is cold and the noon is warm. The four seasons are not distinct. The cloud amount is small and the fine days are more. The sunshine time is long, 2000-2600 hours annually. The precipitation is small. The dry season and the wet season are distinct. Totally 7 months of a year are dry season. The annual precipitation is 900- 1200mm, 90% of which in the period from May to October. The river valley area has a typical dry and hot river-valley climate due to the impact of foehn wind. The mountain land has a prominent stereoscopic climate. As for northwest Sichuan High Mountain & Plateau puna zone, the altitude difference is large. The climate has obvious stereoscopic changes. Subtropical zone, warm temperate zone, mid temperate zone, cold temperate zone, subfrigid zone, frigid zone and permafrost zone appear in turn from river valley to ridge. The cold temperate zone climate is dominant. The river valley is dry and warm. The mountain land is cold and humid. Winter is cold and summer is cool. The water heat is insufficient. The annual temperature is 4-127KHDQQXDOSUHFLSLWDWLRQLV-900mm. The weather is clear and the sunshine is sufficient. The annual sunshine time is 1600-2600 hours. The climate of Sichuan Province can be generally described as follows. The monsoon climate is prominent. The rainy season is the hot season. The local difference is obvious; the east part has warm winter, early spring, hot summer, rainy autumn, more cloud and mist, less sunshine, and long growing season; the west part is cold, with long winter, sufficient sunshine, centralized precipitation, and distinct dry season and rainy season, but without summer basically. The vertical climate change is great and the climate types are various, which do good to the comprehensive development of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. The climatic damage has various types, with a high frequency and a wide range, mainly including drought, rainstorm, flood and low temperature. 3.1.2 Overview of natural conditions of subprojects See Table 3.1-1 for the natural condition of subprojects under SSTDP.

4.2 Analysis of major impacts and mitigation measures 4.2.1 Ecological environmental impacts and mitigation measures 1. Analysis of ecological environmental impacts During construction period, major means of ecological environmental impact and damage include main works occupying land; altering the nature of land utilization; destroying vegetation; reducing the arable land along the line; low rate of coverage of vegetation. Earth and stone works causes debris flow; works activities disrupt natural ecological balance, leading to negative impact on the survival of organisms along the line. All subprojects under SSTDP do not cover any natural reserve, scenic area or forest park, except for that Environmental Treatment Subproject of Hongya County (Hongchuan Town) crosses the construction control zone of Zhoujiaci provincial heritage conservation unit and it has been approved by local relic protection authorities (HWTF [2009] No. 29). The works, earth and stone amount as well as works land occupied are all relatively small, posing little damage to vegetation and exerting little impact on debris flow. Through ecological protective slope in latter works stage and planting of more trees, this problem can be alleviated. The works of environmental treatment works in Hongya County (Hongchuan Town), and waterway treatment works in Xiaoshanzi River Downtown Section of Jialing District of Nanchong City belong to the issues of environmental treatment, which revolves around river channel dredging and ecological treatment. The works implementation will dramatically improve our ecological environment. 2. Mitigation measures of ecological environment (1) Measures of vegetation protection and restoration During the process of construction, mellow soil on the surface of arable farmland of permanently land acquisition or temporarily used land shall be kept and preserved. After construction is completed, the mellow soil shall be covered back on it as soon as possible to recover vegetation. Particularly after works is over, efforts shall be made to recover vegetations for temporarily utilized land and trees shall be planted in temporary shed slashes.

54 In selection of plant species for either side of the road, apart from taking the quick growing species of trees into consideration, shrubs from identical regions shall be transplanted to ensure the high rate of survival, blending with the nature and at the same time, heading off the invasion of plants, reliving the true color of nature. Efforts shall be made to increase the biodiversity of plant species in the corridor region; boosting the capability of fighting against diseases and pests and strengthening the stability of corridor. Besides, the selection of sprouts of tree types has been subject to strict inspection and vaccination to prevent invasion of pests. (2) Animal protection 1) Propagation of laws and regulations on protection of wild animals and crackdown of behaviors of hunting wild animals Intensify propagation of laws and regulations on protecting wild animals so as to inculcate the importance of protecting wild animals in construction workers; educating the public not to hunt wild animals; wild animals, if caught, shall be moved elsewhere away from roads. 2) Reasonable selection of construction period and process to minimize the impact on animals 3) Prevention of pollutions to zootope Strengthen all sorts of sanitary management for construction workers (such as personal hygiene, excrement and domestic wastewater); prevent direct discharge of domestic wastewater; reduce water pollution; make efforts in restoration of ecological environment after construction is over to reduce the negative impact of damaged vegetation and debris flow on water quality and aquatic organisms. Meanwhile, equal attention shall be paid to prevention and vaccination of people and livestock in non-assessment region as a result of damage done by animals. (3) Measures for prevention of invasion of exotic species There has been no mature means of preventing invasion of exotic species during construction and operation periods of the project. In light of works characteristics, the following measures are suggested to be adopted to prevent invasion of foreign species: intensify advertising efforts to construction workers about the damage of foreign species and means of transmission; strict inspection shall be conducted on imported fruits, seeds and flowers to determine if some quarantined diseases or pests have been brought into the works zone; for current existing exotic species, utilize the opportunities of works construction to burn plants that bear fruits on the site to prevent dispersal of seeds; some forest-cutting slashes are most vulnerable to invasion of foreign species and greening efforts shall be made in temporarily used regions (4) Protective measures of aquatic organisms Ordinary protective measures are: intensify protection of aquatic environment to prevent the occurrences of eutrophication in some aquatic regions along the line; minimizing the impact on the environment of habitat for aquatic organisms. The following measures are suggested by EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) to be adopted to protect aquatic organisms. 1) Protective measures for aquatic organisms during construction period

55 The piling of materials used for construction shall be away from water source or other water bodies; site that can be hardly washed by torrential runoff is ideal. If some construction materials are piled up near the bridge, ditches shall be dug up in the perimeter of the site where materials are piled up and retaining walls shall be erected to prevent torrential runoff from entering the water body and affecting water quality. All sorts of materials shall be equipped with facilities that shelter rain. 2) Protective measures of aquatic organisms during operation period include the following aspects: Vehicles that carry coal, lime and cement that are not covered are banned from traveling on road; freight containers and overloaded trucks that have oil leak or material leak are banned from traveling on roads; stick to measures guaranteeing the safety of vehicles transporting dangerous stuff and regarding handling of accidents Reasonably organize construction procedures and construction machineries; strictly carry out drainage design and implementation according to road construction standards and conduct education to construction workers regarding necessary protection of ecological environment Complete restoration of ecological environment after the project is completed to reduce the impact of vegetation damage and debris flow on aquatic organisms 3. Water and soil conservation measures (1) Preventive measures for water and soil erosion in the area of main works Before construction of excavation of side slope of main works, protective measures shall be adopted for the top of side slope. Tentative drainage ditch shall be set in place in the perimeter of excavation region and sand trap shall be installed along the drainage ditch. After temporary drainage ditch is used, it shall be refilled and forests are planted. During the construction of dam filling, temporary torrent gutter shall be installed along both sides of subgrade so that rainwater can be discharged to the outside of subgrade along the torrent gutter to prevent washing of side slopes. Masonry works of excavation and refilling side slope shall be timely protected and built as the design of side slope is stable. Meanwhile, slope surface and slope foot drainage system shall be done so that construction and masonry reinforcement can be done in an orderly manner. Measures including grid protective slope, masonry facing wall and planting grass between grid and arch shall be adopted for side slope of subgrade of the section of excavation and filling. Water and soil can be effectively preserved while planting grass and trees on side slopes. Given the land conditions, within the range of protected land on both sides of the roads, arbor – shrub method shall be adopted in planting in the sense that a row of shrubs can be planted amidst evergreen arbor. To prevent debris flow as a result of loose revealing of road surface within the protected region at the initial phase of planting arbor and shrubs, some quick-growing grasses shall be grown at the same time to form a comprehensive colonial system of ecology. (2) Preventive measures for water and soil erosion in construction occupied ground

56 Temporary drainage ditch and sand trap shall be installed on the lower side before field works and utilization of temporary construction sites; after construction is complete, structures on the road surface and hardened road surface that are no longer needed shall be removed and demolished promptly and advancing to the next phase of vegetation restoration. The excavation of borrowing site shall prevent the formation of extremely steeped side slope; ensuring drainage ditch is dug up every time before excavation. After excavation is over, earth shall be refilled to recover vegetation. The filling volume of this project is substantially greater than the excavation volume. Hence, the waste soil of the construction can be directly used for backfill and utilization of the site, reducing the land occupied by waste soil.

Analysis and mitigation measures of acoustical environmental impact during construction period (1) Analysis of acoustic environmental impact during construction period The noise during construction period mainly refers to noise generated during the process of operations of all sorts of construction machineries, equipments and works transport vehicles. According to works characteristics, different constructions require different machineries. There are relatively many works under SSTDP, mostly all sorts of mechanical equipments required for road works and construction noise is the most evident. So far, commonly used machines mainly include: excavator, shovel loader, tire roller, paver and blender. It can be divided into fixed source and mobile source of noise. Fixed source refers mainly to construction machineries and mobile source of noise is mainly vehicles transporting materials. The intensity of noise source of construction machineries falls in the range of 80- 100dB (A). The noise generated by construction machineries during construction period of the project can basically meet the requirements of standards during day “Noise Limit for Construction Site” (GB12523-90) at a distance of 60 meters; meeting the requirements for night standard at a distance of 300 meters. Most of subprojects under SSTDP are located in construction regions of the city and peripheral regions. There are certain numbers of noise-sensitive structures in residential regions within a distance of 300 meters. The construction period is affected somehow. (2) Mitigation measures of acoustic environmental impact during construction period 1) The Constructor must choose construction machineries that meet relevant national standards; it would be best to choose low-noise construction

60 machineries or processes and reduce noise source and sound source in a fundamental manner. 2) Require project construction to reasonably schedule construction time; carry out construction according to the requirements of site management of construction; steam hammer, large-scale crane equipments, concrete blender and other high-noise equipments are banned from use during night (22:00- 6:00) to guarantee the health and rest of people in the surrounding of the construction zone. Construction camp shall be as far away from school and densely populated regions as possible so that construction shall be scheduled on weekends or in times of holidays. 3) Pay attention to maintenance of construction machineries so that machineries can maintain their best working conditions and noise can be kept to the lowest level; monitoring is carried out on the noise level of sensitive construction spots. 4) Carry out monitor on noise in sensitive regions and adopt tentative noise- lowering measures according to the situation 5) Reduce the flow of construction vehicles at night and erect speed limit sign in residential areas, attached enterprising zone and cross-roads where traffic flow is high; reasonably schedule running time and transportation lines 2. Analysis and mitigation measures of acoustic environmental impact during operation period (1) Analysis of acoustic environmental impact during operation period The noise impact during the operation period of each subproject under SSTDP is mainly reflected through operating noise of road traffic and wastewater treatment plant (equipment); noise impact is pretty much minimal for waterway treatment and pipe network construction 1) Road traffic noise Subproject of Puxing Town, Xinjin County According to project characteristics, prediction of roads that are measured 30 meters by 24 meters shall be considered.

The intensity of noise source of water pump is 70dB-80dB; meanwhile, because water pump is installed in the inside of the pump house. Through soundproofing of pump house and distance, noise can be reduced. According to noise prediction at noise source, at a distance of 30 meters from water pump, noise can meet Category 2 standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). In this project, pump house can be built inside wastewater treatment plant. It meets 100m sanitary protection distance of wastewater treatment plant (greater than 50m sanitary protection distance in pump house lay down by EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment). There are no residents within the range of 100 meters, which is why pump house will not pose any visible impact on the surrounding acoustic environment. (2) Mitigation measures and suggestions of acoustic environment 1) Reasonable urban planning, structural layout and control of land occupation on both sides of road In light of the fact that the both sides of newly built road is poorly developed, it is suggested that while the land functions on both sides of the road is reasonably planned, construction department, particularly in the project of real estate development, efforts shall be made to strengthen architectural layout and soundproof design, guaranteeing the interior environment of the sensitive architectures can meet the requirements of functions. A row of houses is suggested to be built along the roads and buildings of more than three-storey high that are intended for non-scientific and residential purposes are suggested to be built. In this way, it can better meet the requirements of shortage of land in cities and at the same time, block out some traffic noises for architectures in the rear row. 2) Intensification of greening Because the land is in urban regions, therefore, the land resources are scarce and very expensive. Hence, it is unlikely that a large green belt can be established along the road. Sidewalk trees are suggested to be planted and composite, three-dimensional greening is adopted to reduce the noise impact on the environment along both sides of the road. It is suggested that real estate developers may build green belts with a certain width along one side of

68 the road so as to lower the noise, prevent dust and improve the landscape in the neighborhood. 3) Reduction of sound source noise radiation Implement management of vehicles into the city at night and restrict speeding at night in sensitive road segments Strengthen management of vehicle horning and set up signs that prohibit horning and speed slowing on both sides of schools and hospitals Strengthen maintenance and management of roads in the city; promptly repair damaged road surface and restrict the traffic of speeding, overloaded trucks. 4) Protection of noise affected point For the works of construction works of North Outer Ring Road in Zhonglong Town of Zizhong County, adopt necessary soundproofing window measures for residents along the road based on concrete monitoring results upon the inspection and acceptance of road project completion. Reserve 2000m2 of soundproofing windows at four sensitive points where noise exceeds the standard value. The price is 1 million. Installation is done based on value exceeded for actual noise monitoring result after the project is completed Total 536m2 soundproof windows at 5 places for 67 households shall be reserved and installed at total cost of 0.268 million yuan under Infrastructure Construction Subproject of Miyi County (Panlian Town). Soundproof windows shall be installed according to actual noise monitoring results upon completion of the road. 5) Efforts shall be intensified on monitoring regions including hospitals, schools and other sensitive regions during the operation period. If there is an exceeded value monitored, viable measures shall be adopted in a timely manner. 4.2.3 Analysis and assessment of water environmental impact 1. Analysis of water environmental impact during construction period (1) Analysis of domestic wastewater impact During construction period, the major source of domestic wastewater is the domestic wastewater and excrement generated when construction workers have meals and wash dishes, which mainly include plant and animal fat, detergent and other organic matters. (2) Analysis of production wastewater impact Wastewater discharged by gravel material processing system. The screening process of gravel material processing system requires washing with water and dust fall, which will generate wastewater. The major pollutant in the wastewater is SS and the concentration of suspended sediment in similar works wastewater is approximately 25000mg/L. The wastewater from concrete mixing system originates from washing of concrete drum and charging bucket. In comparison with similar projects, the PH-value in the wastewater is approximately 11 and concentration of suspended solids in the wastewater is roughly 500-1000mg/L. Because of limited amount of wastewater, it poses barely any impact on the quality of river water.

69 The source of mud water in construction is from excavation of foundation pit in the pipe, pier foundation construction and waterway treatment foundation. The major pollutant is SS and direct discharge will increase the concentration of suspended sediments in nearby rivers during construction period, affecting river water quality and sedimentation basin shall be installed to collect it for sedimentation. After sedimentation treatment, maintenance and repair of vehicles during construction period will produce wastewater that contains oil. If oil-containing wastewater is directly discharged into the river, it will form an oil slick on the water surface, affecting restoration of dissolved oxygen and river quality. Therefore, discharge is required after the treatment meets the standard. 2. Analysis of water environmental impact during operation period The fever of each subproject under SSTDP can be attributed to road, waterway treatment, pipe network construction and wastewater treatment. During the operation period, apart from rainwater that is directly discharged into the water during the initial phase of road works that affect water environment, other works includes wastewater interception, emission reduction, environmental treatment and environmental improvement and there are no pollutants discharged. After road is completed, a minuscule amount of dust, oil pollutant and rubbish is sprayed over the road surface during the transportation process.

4.2.4 Analysis and assessment of atmospheric environmental impact 1. Analysis and assessment of atmospheric environmental impact during construction period Subproject under SSTDP can be summed up as road, river treatment, pipeline construction and wastewater treatment plant. Atmospheric environmental impact during construction period mainly comes from construction dust, mechanical exhaust, and asphalt fumes. (1) Construction dust 1) Impact of dust from relocation

75 During the relocation, due to overhead work and broad working surface, the dust pollution produced by the collapse of dry construction materials is particularly prominent. The quantity of dust generated is related with such factors as quantities of relocation, area of construction, wind speed during construction and method of relocation, etc. 2) Impact of dust from earthwork and foundation During the course of subgrade excavation, land leveling, subgrade filing, foundation excavation for water plant and construction, if heavy wind blows, air pollution will be caused by the fine dust and dust. 3) Dust caused by wind in open storage yard and bare yard Due to construction requirement, some building materials is stacked in the open air, and excavated earthwork and construction garbage is piled up on some construction points temporarily, which can produce dust in dry and windy days. 4) Dust generated by the material transporting vehicle running on the road and construction site Dust prediction is related to the vehicle speed, vehicle weight, dust deposited on the road surface. The more deposited dust is, the more serious dust flying will be. Under same degree of cleanliness of the road surface, the higher the vehicle speed is, the larger the quantity of dust will be; At the same speed, the more dirty the road is, the larger the quantity of dust will be. Therefore, it is an effective way to reduce dust by limiting the driving speed and keeping roads clean. During construction period, TSP pollution is serious. During loading, unloading, transportation and construction of the earthwork, and transportation of stone materials, the area affected by road construction is 200m from the both sides of the site, and the area affected by plant construction will be 100m outside of the boundary. (2) Mechanical exhaust At the construction site, the large and medium sized equipment is mainly powered by diesel, gasoline, when running such air pollutants as NO2, SO2, smoke etc will produce. During earthwork construction, a large number of exhausts from vehicles, excavators, bulldozers will cause the center area of the construction site waste air polluted, and make the ambient air quality declined. However, the exhaust from the construction equipment and vehicles is only a small part of the total amount, it will not have a great impact on the surrounding environment air by strengthening equipment maintenance and controlling the emission of black smoke not completely combusted. (3) Asphalt fumes Roads and bridges are both asphalt concrete pavement, during placement there will be asphalt smoke evaporation. According to the actual investigation of asphalt concrete pavement, if not build the asphalt concrete mixing station, only adopts commercial asphalt concrete, then the impact arrange by the volatilization of asphalt smoke will be within 10m. The road of the subproject under SSTDP is to use commercial concrete. No asphalt concrete mixing station is set, so the impact by the asphalt smoke is little. Fence is provided for separation during the construction. Therefore, the impact is acceptable.

76 (4) Atmospheric environment mitigation measures during construction period 1) When removing buildings, closing net like dust proof net shall be provided around to relief the impact of dust. 2) During the construction, the roadbed shall be compacted layer by layer, and care shall be taken to reduce dust by watering. For the vehicles carrying bulk materials with dust shall be as far as possible covered with a tarpaulin, for the vehicles transporting aggregate, overload should be limited to avoid leakage along the road, so as to reduce the fine dust pollution. 3) Powdered materials such as cement, lime, etc. should be canned, bagged, bulk transportation is prohibited, if stacking, it should be covered with tarpaulin. A tank car shall be provided to the main road, sand and gravel quarry and construction sites, regularly and in time watering is required. In this way it can effectively adsorbed the dust generated from handling, transport of the aggregate. 4) It is suggested that the construction site should be watered frequently to keep the ground wet and clean. The place where decoration materials is stacked, canvas cover shall be provided to prevent dust flying; For the truck transporting bricks and decoration materials, it will be washed when driving in and out the work yard to avoid take the dust out, and pollute road, consequently causing second dust. 5) To resume road traffic as soon as possible, avoid traffic congestion, and reduce pollution of the nearby atmospheric environment by dust from excavation, construction in rush hours should be avoided. In heavy traffic intersection, if pipe crosses the street, pipe jacking method should be used. Pipe should be laid as far as possible in sections and backfilled in time. 6) During construction period, most of transportation vehicles are fueled by gasoline (diesel), exhaust gas output and pollutants are relatively high, in order to reduce the exhaust impacting the surrounding environment, transport routes shall not cross the concentrated residential areas. 2. Analysis and assessment of atmospheric environmental impact during operation period (1) Analysis of atmospheric environmental impact during operation period Subproject under SSTDP can be summed up as road, river treatment, pipeline construction and wastewater treatment plant. The atmospheric environmental impact during operation period mainly comes from vehicle exhaust, noxious odors from wastewater treatment plants and wastewater pump. The project is municipal works. Air pollution is mainly from vehicle exhaust emissions and dust during vehicle running. The main pollutants are CO, NOx, THC and TSP. With the increase of traffic volume in the region, pollutant emissions will gradually increase, which will increase the local air pollution along both sides of the road. Under the effect of anaerobic bacteria, wastewater treatment plants, wastewater lift pump, wastewater will produce odor substances, and due to the pump mixing, odor substances from the water will spill to the atmospheric environment. The main ingredients are hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, ammonia, trimethylamine and so on.

77 (2) Mitigation measures for atmospheric environmental impact during operation period New model of urban public buses using environment-friendly fuels such as electricity and natural gas shall be given priority to control emission of pollutants. For automobiles powered by fuel, the quality of fuel shall be strictly controlled. Fuel with good quality shall be used, so as to reduce emission of pollutants. For automobiles with poor performance or to be eliminated, exhaust gas purification device is needed. Exhaust emission shall be regularly checked by competent authorities of transport and communications. For vehicles of which the exhaust discharge is not up to the standards, they are not allowed to run on the road. Exhaust emission inspection regulations shall be strictly implemented. Vehicles with excessive exhaust emissions and overloading slag transporting vehicles are forbidden to run on the road. A professional team of road maintenance, reparation and cleaning shall be established to keep roads clean and in good operation. In rainless days, tank cars shall be used to spray water to reduce dust, increase the binding force of loose soil, water stability and reduce dust. In combination of water conservation measures, road greening shall be conducted. Street trees shall be planted to reduce dust. (5) Control measures for odor pollution and plant area greening To avoid odor, sanitary protection distance should be defined, 100m range outside the plant boundary shall be designated as protect zone, in this area, no settlement points can be built in the future, Within boundary and the plant, attention should be paid to kill the mosquito, flies, and transport of the sludge in time so as to reduce the odor impact. In greening design, it is suggested to strengthen boundary greening, making it form a "green barrier". In this way, it can not only reduce the odor impact, but also improve the image of Puxing Town as a small town and make the town more beautiful. Table 4-2-13 Summary of atmospheric environmental impact analysis of subproject under SSTDP Atmospheric environmental impact analysis and S/N Name of subproject Description of measures assessment during operation period Roads, for CO, in static wind, under class D and E weather conditions, roads outside (50m) can meet the relevant standards; when in small wind, the forecasted value is not exceeded. For NO when in small wind, it is not exceeded X, Reduction and control of outside of the road (200m). When in static wind, it excavated dusts from will not be out of limits outside of the road (50m). excavation; reduction and Subproject of Puxing From overall analysis, in some local areas, due to 1 control of dusts of sand Town, Xinjin County increasing traffic flow, results in vehicle exhaust aggregates and concrete emissions increased, which increases the impact on system; reduction and ambient air quality along the road. Since the control of fuel oil exhausts. implementation of works improves the road network structure in the region, increase driving speed and reduce the waiting time in the intersection, automobile exhaust emissions is reduced from the macro view.

According to pollution and greening in investigation, there is no sensitive target in the plant area. region at present, In the future with the development of Puxing Town, no house shall be built in the protection area. During operation period, the main atmospheric pollution source is the vehicle exhaust emission on the road The main pollutants from the exhaust is CO, CO2, smoke, hydrocarbons. The types of pollution source are dispersed and floating, and discharging height is not high, so the dispersion range of Strictly execute exhaust pollutants is small. emission inspection system, Rainwater and Before implementation of the works, transportation prohibit vehicles whose Wastewater Pipe network in the area is existed. After Implementation, exhaust emissions exceed Network & Road the road layout has some change, and paved with the standard to get onto the 2 Reconstruction asphalt, which improves the driving environment, let road; scientifically organize Subproject of Daying the vehicle engines in good condition. Due to transportation lines of County (Penglai Town) regional traffic flow remaining the same before and vehicles; and prohibit after implementation of the project, the general overlimit slag trucks to get vehicle exhaust emissions is slightly decreased onto the road. comparing with before staring the project Implementation of the project does not pollute the atmospheric environment, but reduce the automobile exhaust pollution load to the regional atmospheric environment. As for buses in towns and cities, new types of vehicles with environment- friendly fuels such as electricity and natural gas are preferred to control pollutant emission quantity. Automobile exhaust pollutants are concentrated in As for cars with fuel the traffic line. With the increasing of the distance oils, strictly control quality from the road margin, the diffusion predicted Infrastructure of oil products, use high- concentration of pollutants in ambient air shall Construction Subproject quality fuel oil to reduce decrease gradually.

Predication and measures of solid wastes impact during operation period The solid wastes during operation period mainly come from the road project and wastewater treatment plant. The wastes generated in the course of road sweeping and maintenance, in a small amount, will be collected intensively and delivered to the municipal sanitation departments for unified treatment; thus they have low impacts on the environment. Only one wastewater treatment plant shall be established for Xinjin County Subproject of SSTDP Project, with produced sludge quantity of 400t/d. Dewatered sludge can be transported to landfill for treatment based on actual condition of Puxing Town, Xinjin County that Xinjin County already has landfill. 4.2.6 Analysis and assessment of social environmental impact 1. Adverse impacts on local social environment during construction period The adverse impacts on local social environment during construction period are mainly reflected by the land acquisition and resettlement, traffic congestion and population health. (1) Land acquisition and resettlement The land occupation by the project results in the loss of land and resettlement of residents. However, with the resettlement planning and implementation, as well as changing from rural residents to urban residents, re-employment training, reasonable compensation and other appropriate measures, the living standard of the affected residents will soon get back to normal and even higher than before. (2) Impact on traffic The project will have direct or indirect impacts on the existing traffic system in the construction area. During construction period, the number of transportation vehicles will increase, which will result in the congested traffic conditions, and may even lead to traffic jams and damages to roadway facilities, bring out traffic accidents, and thus cause traffic inconvenience. (3) Impact on population health During construction period, external workers will enter the site; the frequent movement of personnel may introduce exogenous diseases. Construction workers coming from high occurrence areas of infectious diseases may also bring in the infectious diseases and thus result in the spread of acute infectious diseases like malaria.

84 2.

The following conclusions can be drawn from above statistic results of the survey: (1) The survey mainly focused on people living around the project area; surveyed people are characterized by representative; (2) The majority surveyed people expressed that they are willing to support construction of the project. (3) People believe that the construction of this project will play an important role in promoting urban economic development and improving infrastructure. Whereas, small portion of them think that the construction will impose negative impacts on regional acoustic environment and atmospheric environment; therefore, during the construction process, protection on facilities should be strengthened to ensure that local acoustic environment and atmosphere will not be destroyed. All in all, public sentiments and opinions reflected in the survey are of high reference value on the project construction, operation and management. 5.5 Responses on public opinions During the period of EIA and negotiation with the public, EIA staff have made detailed explanations one by one on any doubt the public had and also provided feedback to the Client and design institute on those

101 environmental issues concerned by the public in time so that they will focus and improve in the design of next stage; at the same, corresponding environmental protection requirements and measures are raised in the EIA report.

Chapter VII Summary Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by WB Loans, as an important part of the implementation of west development strategy and urban-rural coordinated development strategy, conforming to the overall planning for local cities and towns and the national industrial policy, is of great significance and wins support from majority public. There are no significance environmental constrains within the construction area of each subproject. EIA report (table) has put forward corresponding environmental measures and environmental management for environment impact generated during construction. The impact of project to the environment may be avoided and mitigated by implementing environmental measures proposed in EIA report (table) and strengthening environmental management during construction period, and thus, impacts of the implementation of projects on the environment can be prevented or mitigated. From the perspective of environmental protection, Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by WB Loans is feasible.
