General Description 1.1 Project Background 1.1.1 Project Source The proposed G31 8Huaining section (1 ) Beneficial to the economic development in the poverty stricken areas; (2 ) Favorable to transportation centralization and decentralization of the main route (Hefei-Anqing Expressway ) ; (3) Fitted for the provincial 0I five-year plan of highway improvement, and priority given to the sections which have started construction but not completed yet in the 9gh five year plan so as to improve efficiency of the whole route and the road network; (4) The existing road sections cannot meet the increasing demand for transportation and need rehabilitation. (5) The average indicators (PQI) of road surface quality are low and surface is poor. G3 18 Huaining section is located in the south central areas of Anhui Province where the major transportation relies only on road for there is no railway to reach these areas. As the economy develops and the transportation increases, the existing road of narrow surface and poor quality cannot match the demands of economic development and transportation. Thus, Anhui Provincial Communications Department is applying for the World Bank loan (remaining savings) to support the rehabilitation of G318 Huaining highway section. The project is of great significance for improving the condition of transportation to the outside in the poverty stricken areas and stimulating local economic development and bettering the people's life. At the request of Anhui Provincial Communications Department of China, in July, 2001, Anhui Provincial Highway Administration Bureau entrusted the job of environmental assessment and preparation of the environmental impact assessment on G318 Huaining section of highway maintenance, to Hefei Design & Research Institute, Ministry of Coal Industry. 1.1.2 Status of Environmental Assessment The assessment unit, after accepting the entrustment, set up an environmental assessment group in July 2001. The group together with Anhui Provincial Highway Administration Bureau and Anhui Provincial Highway Survey and Design Institute carried out field visits and public participation and consultation along G318 Huaining highway section. The group conducted deep field investigation relating environmental status and environmental protective targets along the section. Based on the site visits, data collection and further study of the project feasibility study report, the group worked out the draft "Environmental Impact Report of G318 Huaining Section of Highway Maintenance Component of the World Bank financed Anhui Provincial Highway Project of China". The group got assistance from the environmental experts of the World Bank in the preparation of the report. Now the draft report is ready for the World Bank review. 1.2 Aim of the Environmental Assessment Qualitative or quantitative anticipation analysis and assessment are made on the possible environmental impact to be brought by the project construction. The work has been done on the base of the investigation into the natural and social environment and environmental quality within the assessment range of G3 18 Huaining section, and on the base of the combination with the understanding of the environmental status and relative environmental issues along the section. The report shall point out the potential problems and propose effective and reasonable alleviating measure correspondingly. The alleviating measure shall be put into practice to reduce the environmental impact during the project construction and operation to the lowest degree. The following targets shall be reached as well. ( I ) Possible environmental impact during the construction as well as the impact range and degree shall be fairly and objectively identified. (2 ) Investigation result shall be presented in the report based on the understanding of the public opinions via the investigation along the section. (3) Various measures of prevention, alleviation and reduction to the lowest degree of the negative impact shall be proposed, established on thc result of environmental impact anticipation and applicable compensation methods shall be proposed as well. The aim is to identify negative impact before the construction, raise attention in finalizing the design document and bid contract, and carry out the alleviation methods during the construction period. (4) The environmental assessment shall work as decision making reference, provided to the highway administration departments and local goverrnent institutions along the section in making environmental administration plan and environmental development programs. 1.3 Report Preparation Basis 1.3.1 The World Bank requirements (1) "Environmental Assessment" (OP4.01 ), the World Bank, January 1999 1.3.2 The national environmental protection laws, regulations and technical standard and guideline of assessment (2) "Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", Dated on December 26, 1989 (3) "Environmental Noise Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China" Dated on Oct. 29, 1996 (4) "Water Pollution Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China" Dated on May, 15, 1996 (5) "Air Pollution Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China" Dated on Aug. 29, 1995 (6) "Solid Waste Prevention Law of the People's Republic of China" Datedon Oct. 30, 2 1995 (7) "Soil and Water Conservation Law of the People's Republic of China" Dated on June. 29,1991 (8) "Highway Law of the People's Republic of China" Dated on July 3, 1997 (9) "Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" Datedon Nov.

    第54卷 第2期 古 脊 椎 动 物 学 报 pp. 89−120 2016年4月 VERTEBRATA PALASIATICA figs. 1−2 A synopsis of Paleocene stratigraphy and vertebrate paleontology in the Qianshan Basin, Anhui, China WANG Yuan-Qing1 LI Chuan-Kui1 LI Qian1 LI Ding-Sheng2 (1 Key Laboratory of Vertebrate Evolution and Human Origins of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100044 [email protected]) (2 Qianshan County Museum Qianshan, Anhui 246300) Abstract The Mesozoic and Cenozoic redbeds in the Qianshan Basin comprise a set of monocline clastic rocks and are subdivided into the Late Cretaceous Gaohebu Formation, the Paleocene Wanghudun Formation (including the Lower, Middle, and Upper members) and Doumu Formation (including the Lower and Upper members). Continuous investigations in the Qianshan Basin since 1970 have resulted in discovery of a lot of vertebrate specimens. Up to date, 61 species (including 9 unnamed ones) in 45 genera of vertebrates, representing reptiles, birds and mammals, have been reported from the Paleocene of the Qianshan Basin. Among them, mammals are most diverse and have been classified into 46 species (7 unnamed) of 33 genera, representing 16 families in 10 orders. According to their stratigraphic occurrence, seven fossiliferous horizons can be recognized in the Qianshan Paleocene. Based on the evidence of mammalian biostratigraphy, the strata from the Lower Member through the lower part of the Upper Member of Wanghudun Formation could be roughly correlated to the Shanghu Formation of the Nanxiong Basin (Guangdong Province) and the Shizikou Formation of the Chijiang Basin (Jiangxi Province), corresponding to the Shanghuan Asian Land Mammal Age (ALMA).
