Chapter 1 General

1.1 Project Background

The ZheGanLine Railway is a state-level main-line railway and the most important westward running artery that runs east-to-west south of Yangtze River. The line is an important component of a multidirectional framework system, in which, 8 state trunk lines run down from the north to the south and another 8 extend from the east to the west. It is also an important component of the express passenger transport system of , in which, 4 lines run from the north to the south and another 4 extend from the east to the west. The two systems also handle most of the material and personnel interchange in the regions of East, South and Southwest China. The ZheGanLine Railway, together with the Beijing to Kowloon Railway, forms the fastest and most convenient landway route between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.

Refer to Drawing 1-1 for line direction.

The existing ZheGanLine Railway has a total length of 942.64km. After reconstruction, the railway will have a total length of 916.067km, which is 26.58km shorter than the original length. The designed speed will be 140-200Km/h. There will be 29 sets of tunnels to be used or built with a total length of 11222 linear meters, which is 1.3% of line length. One set of 936 linear meter long existing tunnel will be used while 24 sets of 9449 linear meter long double track tunnels and 4 sets of 1837 linear meter long single track tunnels will be built; 109 sets of 26774.32 linear meter long bridges will be built, including 12 sets of 15019.45 linear meter long extra-large bridges, 86 sets of 11421.4 linear meter long large or medium bridges and 11 sets of 333.47 linear meter long small bridges. 1439 sets of 32390.1 linear meter tunnels will be built. There are totally 43309.7mu in acquisitioned land along the line, including 29076.9mu newly acquisitioned, 6281mu railway existing re-used land and 7951.8mu temporary land, yard. Earthworks for the entire line totals such as borrow yard and soil rejection 4 3 6404.95x10 4m 3 , including 5491.69x104m for subgrade works and 913.26x10 m for 4 2 station yard works. Area of building removal is 151.0889x 10 m and total investment for the Project is RMB 13.94 billion Yuan.

Environmental assessment work is very important in preparation process for planned construction project in order to forecast potential impact of planned construction project on social environment and natural environment and to establish mitigation plan.

1.4 Composition of the Environmental Management Plan

The EMP of the planned construction project mainly includes the following parts:

* Environmental management organizations are responsible for the organization and implementation of the various mitigation measures and the EMP.

Environmental mitigation measures means the series of protective measures that are formulated to deal with the negative impacts that are produced by the railway construction and operation. These measures allow the impacts that are produced to reach the relevant standard requirements.

EMP is used to supervise the implementation of the mitigation measures and the complete environmental management of the construction and operation periods.

The Environmental monitoring programs provides specific data that describes the actual situation of the impacts through monitoring over a period of time. It is an important tool for environmental supervision and management.

Chapter 2 Environmental Impact Assessment Summary

2.1 The Environmental Assessment mainly includes the following summaries:

2.1.1 Line Selection

ZheGanLine Railway is one of the national trunk railways. The ZheGanLine Railway is the most important, westward running artery that runs east-to-west south of the Yangtze River. The line is an important component of the multidirectional framework system that extends in all directions inside China and is an important link in the main artery. The line is also an important component in the express passenger transport system of China of the linked railway lines.

The Project is the existing railway renovation work. During the line selection, in accordance with the Project technical standard, considerations have been taken in the following aspects: the first is to protect scenery spots, natural protection area and the important human landscapes and Cultural Property historic site; the second is to protect environment long the line, to mitigate damage of vegetation so to prevent soil and water loss and meet the requirement of flood discharging; the third is to be compatible with the plans of provinces, cities and towns along the railway so to prevent the division of the existing towns; the fourth is the running of the railway will basically go along the existing railway considering the present impact on the towns. In the sections of Zhuji City, Quzhou City, Longyou County, Dongxiang County, Luxi County and Liling City, new railway shall be constructed to clear the cities. On both sides of the Project, the human development is busy. In addition, since the long period operation of the existing railway, there is no natural protection area, scenery spot and sensitive zoology area such as wild animal and plant habitat. The present selection will cause less damage to the natural environment and less interference to towns. The economic rule will be obvious, meet the general plans of the towns and meet the unified principle of Social Benefit, Economic Benefit and Environment Benefit. Therefore, the line selection is rational.

2.1.2 Assessment Conclusion of Present Environment Status

* Evaluation range of the Project is the artificial ecological system with human activity as center and agricultural production as basis. Regional development has a long history and wide range. Land use rate is relatively high, and industrial and agricultural production and traffic are relatively developed. The vegetation coverage is fairly good, but natural vegetation and heavy wildlife

THES D AiLS V a iGNINTTTt THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE 1 EMP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

are relatively rare. Existing animals and plants are mainly maintained and developed to meet the human beings' requirements, so the biodiversity is relatively simplex. The ecological system within the evaluation range has relative stability and functional completeness and is able to maintain and develop stably because of human beings' effective management and energy supply, so the system has certain anti-interference capability.

* The Project acoustic environment is greatly impacted by the existing ZheGanLine Railway and highway along the railway and social life. Within 60m on both sides of the existing railway, the standard exceeding phenomenon will occur due to locomotive blowing and train running noises. Beyond 60m and the areas near new constructed railway, it is impacted by highway and human activity. The acoustic environment quality in common areas is good.

* The rivers such as Puyangjiang River, Jinhuajiang River, Qujiang River, Xinjiang River, Ganjiang River, Yuanshui River, Lushui River and Xiangjiang River and their branches that the Project will pass by are seasonal rivers and the annual water flow change greatly. According to the perennial monitoring data of the environment authorities along the railway, the sewage discharging volume is great due to rapid economic development. In addition, due to limitation of the river flow and self-purification capacity, the water quality of each river is polluted by industrial pollution sources and domestic wastewater of the local residents.

* The air environment quality in the regions and cities along the railway basically meet the Class II standard in environment air quality standard except less cities. The main pollutants are TSP, S02, NOx.

* Cultural Property historic site: according to field investigation and the data that the Cultural Property authorities already have, at the location of the existing railway K228+000-K232+000, the railway will pass Shitatou Han Dynasty Mausoleum near Donghuashan in Longyou County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which is a county level Cultural Property protection organization.

2.1.3 Major Environmental Impacts

1) Construction period

The main potential environment impact and the corresponding mitigation measures are as follows:

44it jA g - & S ii e R20 ® THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE EiP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

During railway construction, soil and water loss may occur due to damage to and interference of the original surface vegetation and soil. The soil erosion areas including deep excavation and high backfill section, borrow yard, spoil yard, temporary construction yard, special geological section and other surface soil interference section. According to model calculation result, the soil loss of the entire project during construction phase will be near 595 X 104t, more than the existing intensity of soil erosion. During the initial several years of operation, soil erosion phenomenon still will occur as the vegetation has not been completely restored.

The noises during construction phase are mainly from construction equipment. The predictive result of noise additive effects attenuation model indicates, the national standard can be met beyond 60m at daytime and 120m at night. Therefore, within 60m at daytime and 120m at night, it will cause obvious impact on the resident life.

5 outsize bridges and 15 large bridges across the river will be constructed in the Project. The construction of these bridges will impact on the surface water quality. The impacting method is the oil may leak into the river, the construction under water will cause silt to be suspended, the loss of abandoned construction waste or construction material, construction clay mortar and domestic wastewater near construction site. If not managed well, these activities will cause surface water in construction site and near construction campsite to be polluted. These pollution will impact the a certain length of downstream of the bridges for a period of time after completion of the construction.

The main air pollution in construction phase is construction dust. The construction dust is mainly from uncompleted road foundation, laydown areas and transportation road. There are many reasons that cause the dust, including weather conditions (mainly wind direction, wind speed, air humidity) and construction activity. The impacting scope can extend 150-200m from the construction site and both sides of the road.

Health risks are primarily related to increased transient population during construction and operation periods. The increase in the transient population could potentially bring and spread infectious diseases in the project area. The unhygienic and un-healthy life style of the construction workers could spread diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS to local residents as well as among themselves.

The safety risk is primarily in the construction phase with the local residents, particularly children who have little awareness of construction site safety in the linear construction sites that often do not have any

; ) 'W.f iR. =ti] ,ftt1t 21 THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY &DESIGN INSTITUTE EARP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

isolation or control measures. The explosion operation for deep cutting of the sections and tunnels could result in flying stones as well as explosions that will be potential safety hazards to the residents that live near the construction sites.

The impact of land acquisition and removing activity during construction period on environment is permanent impact and the others are temporary impact.

2) Main Impact on Environment during Operation Period

Impact on ecological environment

The line selection of ZheGanLine Railway was strictly compared. The railway will go basically along the existing line. As the human development along the railway is frequently and the long term operation of the existing railway, there are no natural protection areas, scenery spot and sensitive ecoregion such as inhabit for valuable and rare animals and plant within construction scope.

There are no valuable and rare plants and famous trees protected by the government within the Project scope. There are man planted trees in the areas that the railway will pass by, which will be cut off and removed 1130.6 thousand with implementation of the project, most of which are man planted tress. Therefore, woodland resource will not be impacted.

In the 43309.7 acres of land requisition for the Project, of 75% of land requisition are paddy field and dry land used as project construction, and 10% of land requisition are badland, 8.0% of land requisition are woodland and economic tree land and 7.0% of land requisition are others. After implementation of the Project, the railway station, railway foundation and other production organizations will supersede the original semi-natural ecosystem with agricultural activity as the main part, which will loss the part of or all of the original land function, causing certain impact to the local agriculture and aquaculture.

As the landform and physiognomy is flat, the entire project will be mainly performed with backfill foundation. The total earthwork is 4 3 6404.95 X 10 m , of which the excavation work is 3863.63 X 104m3, 4 backfill 2541.33 X 10 m3, excavation used as backfill 1422.05 X 104m3, 3 taking earthwork 1200.01 X 104m , purchased earth 135.71 X 104m3, discharged 2217.61 X 10 4m3, and channel stone used as backfill material 4 3 7.53 X 10m . The surface soil shall be excavated in earthwork, the

T SECD Ra - SV D INS 22 ®NT1. SECON RAIW-AYS SURVEYA DESIGN INSTITUTE EIMP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

original natural landform and physiognomy will be damaged, especially during construction phase, great interference will be caused. After excavation, soil and water loss may be easy to occur in the exposed surface in rainy season, with the soil and water loss strong grade reaching intense.

* Acoustic Impact on Environment

The environment assessment team forecasted the noise level of 112 concentrated residential areas, 39 schools and 5 hospitals along the railway in 2011 (short-term operation period) and 2016 (long-term operation period). The result shows:

As for 113 concentrated residential areas, at the location 30m away from centerline of the railway, the short-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 63.2-71.1dB at daytime and 56.9-70.5dB at night. The long-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 63.9-71.9dB at daytime and 57.5-71.2dB at night. Compared to the standard GB 12525-90, the short-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed the standard by 0-1.1 and 0-0.5dB, while the long-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-1.9 and 0-1.2dB. The reason is the noise caused by railway operation. For the first row of residential house within 30m, the short-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 66.2-74.8dB at daytime and 66.5-72.9dB at night. The long-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 66.9-74.2dB at daytime and 66.2-73.4dB at night. Compared to the standard GB 12525-90, the short-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-3.6 and 0-2.9dB, while the long-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-4.2 and 0-3.4dB. The reason is the noise caused by railway operation. In the residential areas within 30-60m scope, the short-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 58.3-72.1dB at daytime and 54.6-70.3dB at night. The long-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 59.9-72.3dB at daytime and 55.4-71.2dB at night. Compared to the standard GB3096-93 Class 4, the short-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-2.1 and 0-0.3dB, while the long-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-2.3 and 0-1.2dB. The reason is the noise caused by railway operation, traffic noise by highway and social noise. In the residential areas beyond 60m, the short-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 61.4-67.6dB at daytime and 55.4-64.4dB at night. The long-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 62.1-67.8dB at daytime and 56.1-65.0dB at night. Compared to the standard GB3096-93 (with class 2 as standard), the short-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 1.4-7.6 and 5.4-14.4dB,

while the long-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 2.1-7.8 and 6.1-15.0dB. The reason is the noise caused by railway operation, traffic noise by highway and social noise.

As for 39 schools and 5 hospitals, the short-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 57.0-71.3dB at daytime and 55.4-70.6dB at night. The long-term equivalent continuous class A acoustic level will be 57.5-71.8dB at daytime and 56.1-71.2dB at night. Compared to the standard GB3096-93 Class 2, the short-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-11.3 and 5.4-20.6dB, while the long-term acoustic level at daytime and night will exceed standard by 0-11.8 and 6.1-21.2dB. The reason is the noise caused by railway operation and traffic noise by highway.

In addition, in sections of Zhuji City, Quzhou City, Longyou County, Dongxiang County, Luxi County and Liling City that the existing railway will pass by, there are many noise sensitive receptors. Since the railway will be newly constructed in these sections, the noise impact after implementation of the Project will disappear.

* Water Environment Impact

In operation period, the sewage sources are mainly locomotive depot, waste water that contain oil discharged from production sections such as vehicle section and domestic wastewater discharged from each station. The total wastewater will increase to 77453m3/a. Since electric locomotive will be adopted, the pollutants such as CODcr, BOD5, and SS in wastewater discharged from production organizations will be reduced. Since the increase of additional railway staff and passengers, the pollutants such as plant and animal oil in wastewater discharged from each station will be increased. The production wastewater from Shangrao locomotive depot, Yingtan Locomotive Depot, Nanchang Locomotive Depot, Xiangtang locomotive depot and Jinhua East locomotive tumaround depot, Jinhua West locomotive turnaround depot, Xiangtang West locomotive turnaround depot, Xinyu locomotive turnaround depot, Pingxiang locomotive turnaround depot, Zhuzhou North locomotive turnaround depot and the domestic wastewater discharged from Jinhua Station area, Shangrao Station area, Yingtan Station area, Nanchang Station area, Xinyu Station area, Pingxiang Station area, Zhuzhou Station area can meet the wastewater discharging requirement after treatment. As suggested by the assessment team, the new constructed Zhuji passenger station, Zhuji East Station, Yiwu Station, Quzhou passenger station and Shangrao Station shall be incorporated into municipal sewage treatment system for disposition. Taking the above measures, although the wastewater is increased, the main pollutant discharging quantity is reduced. The main pollutant

VA>in Vt m =i7 i t 1Er24 THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE EIP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

discharging quantity, reduction quantity and reduction ratio after completion of the Project is as follows: CODcr will be 1689.77t/a, 56.68t/a, 3.2%; BOD5 will be 589.61t/a, 78.18t/a, 11.2%; SS will be 762.01t/a, 79.29t/a, 9.4%; Petroleum will be 3.27t/a, 12.64t/a, 79.4%.

* Impact on the Air Environment

After implementation of the Project, the existing diesel engine traction locomotives will be replaced by electric traction locomotive. Since the change of energy type, the pollutant discharging quantity will be less than the existing railway, with smoke emissions reduced by more than 86.9%, SO2 by more than 70.27%, NOx by more than 86.7% and CO by more than 80.21%, which will play an advantageous role to the improvement of the air quality along the railway.

* Solid Waste Environmental Impact

After implementation of the Project, with the increase of additional railway staff and passengers, the domestic waste and train waste generated from each station and section will also increase. The new added waste will be 23738.7t/a; the newly added train waste will be 25575 t/a. The train waste will be disposed of after it is bagged in Jinhua, Quzhou, Shangrao, Yingtan, Xiangtang, Nanchang, Xinyu, Yichun, Pingxiang and Zhuzhou passenger stations. The waste from passenger trains and railway stations and sections will be transported to the designated locations for disposition after collection. Therefore, there will be no obvious impact on the environment along the railway.

Electromagnetic Environment Impact

After implementation of the Project, a new environment impact, electromagnetic pollution will occur. When electric locomotive is running at high speed, electric spark will occur when locomotive electric bow isolate transient with catenary, forming electromagnetic radiation. Its formation has fortuity and randomness, and this high frequency electromagnetic radiation will impact on the TV receiving with 40m from railway (mainly 20m). Through measurement and pre-estimate of 43 channels of 11 electromagnetic sensitive receptors, 16 channels that meet the requirement of field strength of television signal and signal-to-noise ratio reduced to 10 channels. The signal-to-noise ratio of other channels will be reduced by different extent.

According to investigation, the towns and villages within 40m from the

6s) a Vl a it m Q 25 .t 1E THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE EMP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-JiangxiRailway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

Project have realized efficient closed-circuit television signal transfer or optical fiber transfer through the "China Broadcasting and Television Ministry Village Project". Therefore, electromagnetic pollution after completion of the Project will be minimal.

Social-Economic Impacts

* This Project will acquisition 43309.7mu of various types of land, including 7951.8mu of land that will be used temporarily and 151.0889x104m2 of housing that will be removed. The local land resources will definitely be impacted due to the large amount of land acquisition and removal.

The construction of the Project will bring more convenient transportation for the areas along the railway, will expedite the passenger and material flow as well as information flow, and will benefit the circulation of the local industrial and agricultural products to the outside world. The construction and operation periods of the Project will provide many work opportunities, which will increase income of the residents and the local farmers along the railway. The convenient transportation will bring many tourists to the local areas. The improvement of infrastructure conditions will help attract foreign investment. All of these will help improve local economy along the railway.

After implementation of the Project, the fully enclosed railway may isolate the village and the fields on both sides of the railway. A total of 145 villages and residential areas will be isolated to different extents. This impact was considered when the Project design was conducted. A total of 493 channel and 298 over bridges have been designed, with average one channel/650m. A total of 3070 culverts and 687 bridges have been designed. The impact of the Project on water facilities in the design has been minimized.

According to field investigation and the information of the cultural property department, the Donghuanshan-Shitatou Tombs of the Han Dynasty (county-level cultural property protection unit) are located in Longyou County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province and is on the existing railway K228+000-K232+000. Moreover, cultural properties and historical sites will be unearthed on occasion during the construction and if prompt and appropriate protection measures are not adapted then the cultural property will be impacted and damaged.

* The construction of the Project may damage the landscape; mainly form

;) idJ* = lv a iKt 1E 26 THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESION INSTITUTE EMP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

the interference between the existing natural landscape, railway landscape and landscape environment. The main works that will cause environmental impacts are extreme deep excavation and high backfill sections that will interfere with the surface landscape, especially acute interference will be from large bridges, spoil yard, borrow yard and large buildings that are not compatible with the surrounding environment.

* Findings of the Public Participation Survey

The assessment team conducted 2 rounds of organized public consultation, one was in preparation of environment assessment program and the other was in preparation of environment assessment report. The affected residents, local government and non-government organizations were incorporated in the work scope. Efficient method has been adopted in the public consultation, including public meeting, questionnaire, individual visit, group discussion and etc. the important information such as preparation of environment assessment program and environment assessment report, and public consultation plan has been issued locally.

The public gave great support and understanding to the Project. They believed that the Project will play expediting role to the local economy and social development and will facilitate traveling and work. The most concerned problem by the public is the land occupation, compensation problem of the removing, community isolation, noise pollution and how to mitigate these impacts.

Chapter 3 Mitigation Measures

3.1 Environmental Protection During the Feasibility Study Phase

The main environmental protection work during the feasibility study phase of the project mainly entailed doing the EIA of the construction project and mainly included the preparatory work for the Environmental Impact Report and the preparation of the EMP by the various project departments. The assessment team has conducted numerous field investigations along the entire line since January of 2002, when the Planning Department of the Ministry of Railways was commissioned with the EIA work for this project. The assessment team has monitored the current situations of the environment and has conducted public participation surveys on the problems that were discovered and the potential impacts in addition to preparing the EMP. During the feasibility study phase, the preparation of the EIA Outline and Environmental Impact Report were completed on the foundation of the project background data collection, field survey and project feasibility study. The Environmental Impact Report consists of environmental management, impact analysis, assessment and mitigation measures to ensure the minimal impacts on the social and natural environment during the railway construction and operation periods.

3.2 Environmental Protection During the Design Phase

In the design stage of the works, the main environmental protection tasks include:

3.2.1 Mitigation Measures for Ecological Environmental Impacts

Reasonable selection of railway line shall be considered so as to avoid infringing on the sensitive ecological system.

The principle of "trying to reduce the used land" shall be applied in the initial design. In the line selection, fertile land and paddy fields shall be avoided to occupy and the wasteland, fruticeta, hillock land and dry land shall be made the best use of. In the construction design, reasonable earthwork distribution shall be taken into consideration in priority and the cleaning, excavation and backfilling shall be employed to reduce to used land of works.

Greening on both sides of the line shall be strengthened and woods belt planting shall be built. The greening design tree species shall adopt the combination of local tree species and high tree, shrubbery and grass.

Vertical greening shall be carried out on the outside of railway stations, bridges and

iA) ;igm a Oz ittIT R28 THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE EhP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project other man-made buildings.

3.2.2 Mitigation Measures for Railway Noise

Forecasted value of railway noise of some environmental sensitive receptors is higher than that of the noise standard. So noise mitigation measures, which includes sound insulation and noise barriers and will be confirmed in the design and bidding documents and must be applied in order to meet relevant noise standards.

The environmental management requirement for the construction supervision unit shall also be incorporated into the bidding document and written into the final contract. The successful construction supervision unit should have at least 2 persons (one of them shall be top management) participated the above training held for the contractors.

3.3.7 Water and Soil Conservation

* Water and soil conservation measures

Temporary protection for borrow yards: drainage ditches shall be set out of the range of borrow soil in order to prevent flushing of water to borrow soil slopes.

Temporary protection for waste soil and spoil yards: before use of waste soil and spoil yards, retaining dams shall be built in lower streams in order to prevent waste soil flushing. In this way, road and farmland will not be buried. Intercepting ditches shall be built upstream of soil rejection yards and drainage ditches shall be built on two sides of waste soil and spoil yards. Intercepting ditches will indraught water from upstream into the drainage ditches. Then, the water will be led into the stream channel downstream. In this way, direct scouring to waste soil and spoil yard by water in upstream will be avoided.

Temporary protection measures for subgrade slopes: in the subgrade construction process, temporary drainage ditches shall be set at regular intervals on subgrade slopes in order to release centralized confluence. Buffer zones shall be set at the foot of slopes for drainage ditches; for high filling sections, earth retaining walls shall be added at the foot of slopes; for sections with bad geological conditions, such as soft soil and earth sliding, retaining walls, concrete anti-slide piles and slope cutting shall be applied for processing.

In the rainy season, the hard rain season in particular, high subgrade slopes and temporary storage yards, temporary overlay measures (such as plastic cloth or net) shall be applied for the above-mentioned borrow yards and soil rejection yards in order to reduce erosion caused by rain.

* Protection Measures for Farmlands

tk ikM = am * it R 58 THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY &DESIGN INSTITUTE FlP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

In order to reduce damage to farmland along the line, basic farmland in particular, farmland will be adopted as an index for proposal selection in the process of the design of the project. Design shall be optimized and limit the use of basic farmland whenever possible. Proposals that meets design specifications and occupy less farmland shall be advocated.

For borrow yards and soil rejection yards, as per principle of creation of cultivatable land and return of farmland, full use of barren land and bad land will be brought in play and will use waste soil to fill and level up low lying land as well as enlargement of cultivated land area and improve soil tilth. For unavoidable use of cultivated land for borrow yards and soil rejection yards, superficial coating of ripe soil with depth of 0.3 m shall be put aside before operation. After soil borrowing and soil rejection, the ripe soil shall be put back. In this way, loss of cultivatable soil will be reduced and the quantity of the soil nutrients can be maintained. There is a total of 3119.3mu of land that can be re-cultivated.

3.4 Mitigation Measures During the Operation Period

3.4.1 Mitigation Measures for Environmental Impacts

Publicity and education shall be intensified to improve the environment protection conscious of railway staff and residents along the line. Administration and education to the greening works shall be enhanced, fire proofing and moth proofing shall be taken and crops to the trees on the two sides of railway line and damages to the slope of subgrade on the station fields and grass section on the spoil yard are forbidden so as to protect the water and soil conservation works facilities.

The operation units should enhance the maintenance, service and administration of various protection works and continuously enhance the deficient parts.

The field supervision on the ecological environment along the line shall be enhanced and the potential negative geological effects from the construction site shall be found in a timely manner. The mitigation measures shall be adopted to prevent the occurrences of new geological disasters.

3.4.2 Noise Prevention Measures

Residential buildings, schools, hospitals or other noise sensitive receptors shall not be newly constructed within a 30m range of the line. Concentrated residential areas shall not be newly constructed within 30-120m of the line. If it is unavoidable, sound insulation and noise reduction shall be applied in order to satisfy operational requirements of indoor environment in sensitive buildings. In layout of building, the

% id m _- a Rt i I 59 ® THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE EMP on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project first row of buildings near the railway shall be planned as non-sensitive building. It is better to lay the buildings parallel to the railway.

All railway departments shall strengthen management on train operations, maintain good traffic and reduce blocking as well as reduce random whistling whenever possible and improve environmental protection consciousness of crew members at the same time. They shall also strictly obey whistle regulations in the technical specification of the Ministry of Railways. Wireless communication shall be used in station and sectional operations in order to reduce impacts of whistle on the acoustic environment.

3.4.3 Water Environment

Railway bureau shall strengthen management and ensure the treatment facilities used for production waste drainage and domestic wastewater that are drained into area surface waters are running normally. All provincial and municipal environmental protection departments along the railway shall perform real time monitoring on main railway pollution sources or take random samples and strictly control railway sewage drainage to within the standards.

3.4.4 Solid Waste Disposal Measures

Garbage from newly increased staffs of the stations and depots will be brought into the existing collection and operation system because of its limited quantity.

Newly increased waste from passenger trains will still be brought into the passenger waste collection centers designated by the Nanchang Passenger Station, Zhuzhou Passenger Station, West Jinhua Station, Quzhou Station, Shangrao Station, Yingtan Passenger Station, Nanchang Station, Xiangtang Station, Pingxiang Station and Zhuzhou Station. After the waste collection, it will be sent to specified sites designated by the local environmental sanitation departments for treatment.

3.4.5 Transportation of Dangerous Materials

There are many waterbodies and rivers. In the operation period, the regulations and standards of Ministry of Railways related to dangerous materials transportation shall be strictly carried out. Presently, the Shanghai Railway Bureau, Nanchang Railway Bureau and Guangzhou Railway Group have established an emergency leading group and relevant organization and emergency measures and systems that can deal with accidents with dangerous materials, particularly of dangerous material leakage in sensitive areas, such as bridges.

Chapter 5 Environmental Monitoring Programs

5.1 Objectives

Environment monitoring is a tool to evaluate whether the environment protection measures are effective or not. The environment monitoring at construction and operation stages can guarantee an effective implementation of EP measures listed in EP Evaluation Report of the Project. Environment monitoring plan includes following four objectives:

Confirm invalid or unreasonable EP measures at an early time;

* If necessary, have a meeting to modify EP measures, so as to have it comply with the objective of environment monitoring plan;

* Provide work program for EP and monitoring plan;

Determine the scope of environment monitoring items (construction and operation, short-term, long-term, evaluation parameters, evaluation type, and evaluation frequency).

The overall guiding ideology for environment monitoring schedule of Zhejiang - Jiangxi Railway: at all implementation stages of the project, the monitoring should be carried out as per expected influence, and the monitoring should concentrate in sensitive areas.

5.2 Monitoring parameters at construction and operation periods

The environment monitoring at construction and operation periods of the Project consists of water environment, atmospheric environment, noise, Acquisition and migration, solid waste, electromagnetic radiation and other environment influence raised by the railway. The monitor and control should include all direct/indirect influence at construction period and operation period.

Following environmental problems specified in EP evaluation should be intensively monitored and controlled: Acquisition, removing and re-placement, soil and water loss, noise, dust emission, water quality of rivers, river deposit, solid waste and electromagnetic radiation.

THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEY& DESIGN INSTITUTE 62 E1P on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electrification Speedup Renovation Project

These problems may be reduced or eliminated through EP measures and environment monitoring procedures. The environment monitoring plan to be developed at construction and operation stage are given in Table 6.3-1, and following words summary the key points of this plan.

A in M g7_a V iq it I6 ® THIESECOND SURVER A DESIONINSTITUTE OF RAILWAYS 68 LandAcquisition and Migration

Prior to the construction, it is necessary to acquisition the lands for building railway, so the migrations should be re-placed properly. Through environment monitoring and supervision, the land acquisition along the line after design can be guaranteed, and the quantity of emigrants should be reduced as possible. When emigrating, assist the emigrants in moving to other places, and provide them with suitable compensation. The people after removing will be trained properly, so that they can find out a new job. Through environment monitoring, the emigrants are under guarantee for proper compensation, and the training plan can be realized effectively. Through environment monitoring, it is also guaranteed that the living standard of emigrants is similar with or higher than the one before the migration. Finally, it is guaranteed through environment monitoring that the old people, illiterates and farmers can obtain special treatment.

Soil Loss

Because most railways under design will cross over steep rock stratum and soft lands, soil and water loss would be the major problem during the construction. The scope of soil and water loss may be minimized by taking measures such as bypassing bad geological areas, making slope protection and greening on side slopes to control soil and water loss. In the jobsite, the environmental supervision people shall make sure that the technical measures to reduce the soil and water loss are implemented during the construction, and calvous lands are greened temporarily. Such supervision should include storage and site clearing technique, seeding, planting, sodding, and proper use of fertilizer and water, so as to make sure the vegetation can be restored quickly after the completion of construction. Make periodic inspection to soil and water loss within one year of trial operation stage, and make an inspection every 6 months (or perform the inspection just after a rainstorm).

Noise

At the construction and operation stages of the Project, noise is always a problem to be resolved. The noise at construction stage includes noises of large sized machineries, large number of transport vehicle and blasting of tunnels. Measures to lower down the noise during the construction are as follows: the jobsite should be selected so that it is far from the living area; use high noise equipment only at day time; transport vehicle bypass schools, hospitals and residential areas, reduce vehicle driving at night time. At construction stage, noise monitoring should be carried out monthly close to sensitive receptors. It shall be guaranteed that the noise level at night complies with GB12525-90 "Standard of Noise in Construction Field" and

THE SECONDSURVER & DESIGN INSTITUTE OF RAILWAYS 69 GB3096-93 "Standard Of Environmental Noise Of Urban Areas" . The noise at operation stage is mainly from the operation of train (including noise of wheel track, locomotive whistling etc.). Such noise is quite awful in sensitive places (e.g. school and hospital etc) at night. Many noise prevention measures may be taken, such as install acoustic windows, build up acoustic barrier, and set up green belt etc. at operation stage, perform a monitoring after completion, and perform monitoring biannually at first 3 year after completion.

Air Quality

At construction stages of the project, the air quality is likely lowered down due to the dust emission and off gas of vehicle and other machineries. The method to control the dust is to periodically water the jobsite surface and cover the trucks with tarps when necessary. Make sure all transport vehicle and machineries are equipped with off gas control devices that comply with the standard. At construction stage, the environmental staff in the field shall perform quarterly monitoring to air quality; so as to guarantee all environmental protection measures in the schedule can be fully implemented.

Water Quality

At construction stages of the project, water quality is likely decreased due to the drainage of wastewater and sewage. At construction stage, the main problem is the pollution due to the wastewater from construction camp. Monitoring should be performed quarterly to check the drainage of wastewater and sewage in the construction camp, so as to guarantee the water quality can meet the requirement of irrigation of agricultural land. It also should be guaranteed that the wastewater from constructors' camp could be drained to the designated area only. At operation stage, the major threat to water quality is the wastewater from locomotive and the wastewater from the station. At operation stage, monitoring should be performed annually to check the water quality, so as to guarantee the water quality complies with GB8978-96 Drainage Standard.

River Sedimentation

River deposit and change of riverbed may occur at construction stage, including working in river and cofferdam construction. Environment protection measures include: prevent riverbank from erosion, set up bridges at proper sites, and reinforce river banks (including greening). Environment monitoring at construction stage include: approve the site for building up bridge, ensure riverbank protection measures are implemented. Such monitoring should be performed quarterly, sampling of river water, to

Dkin l= - m* it R70 THE SECONDSURVER & DESIGN INSTITUTE OF RAILWAYS determine the content of suspended solid material in river water.

* Solid Waste Treatment

Monitoring should be monthly made to solid garbage treatment at construction stage, making sure garbage from construction camp is properly collected and stored in a closed container, and periodically transferred to local municipal garbage treatment plant.

The solid garbage generated at operation stage of the Project includes: domestic garbage from the station and slag from boiler. Environment monitoring should be performed monthly, to make sure the domestic garbage is properly collected and the slag form the boiler is recycled for paving road etc. Passenger garbage shall be sent to local garbage treatment plant.

* Electromagnetic Radiation

Monitoring should be made to check electromagnetic interference at operation stage of the Project, especially the area where electromagnetic protection measures is taken, to confirm the installation of community antenna and the efficiency of additional antenna height. Make a monitoring after the project is completed to determine whether electromagnetic protection measures are necessary or not. After electromagnetic protection measures are taken and community antenna is installed, make a monitoring to confirm whether the effect of community antenna can meet the requirement or not.

5.3 Supervision and Monitoring Report Program

The monitoring results shall be biannually while the monitoring report quarterly, submitted in written to each Railway Bureau (group) ZheGanLine Railway Construction Directorate (or submitted to each Railway Bureau during operation period). Railway Bureau (group) ZheGanLine Railway Construction Directorate (or submitted to each Railway Bureau during operation period) will arrange and keep these reports. These reports shall be taken as the basis for SEPA, Environmental Protection Office of the Ministry of Railways, World Bank to assess the environment protection work of each railway section and the basis to specify environmental protection measures when necessary.
