This Environment Management Plan (EMP) was prepared for the Liaoning Safe and Sustainable Water Supply Project (the Project) in Liaoning Province, the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The EMP has been prepared in accordance with requirements of the World Bank Safeguard Policy on the basis of (i) the five domestic environmental assessment (EA) reports provided by the local EA Institutes, (ii) the five project Feasibility Study Reports (FSRs), (iii) the social and economic assessments conducted under the Project Preparatory, and (iv) discussions between the World Bank missions, Liaoning Urban Construction & Renewal Project Office (LUCRPO), Liaoning Provincial Development and Reform Commission (LDRC), Liaoning Provincial Finance Department (LFD), as well as the five project cities’ governments and five water supply companies in the cities of Shenyang, Anshan, Fushun, Fuxin and Gaizhou. 2. According to environmental screening and classification requires in World Bank Safeguard Policy Environment Assessment (OP4.01), the proposed project is classified to Class B project based on the type, location, sensitivities, scales, and potential environmental impacts of the project. 3. The proposed Project Development Objectives (PDOs) are to improve access to safe and quality water supply services, and strengthen the operational efficiency of water supply companies in the five project cities in Liaoning Province. This objective will be achieved through investment in the construction, rehabilitation and upgrading of the water supply infrastructure facilities and the improvement of the water supply companies’ operational and management capacity. II. Project Description II-1 Components of Project 4. The project consists of four components: Component 1 - Water Supply Infrastructure Improvement; Component 2 - Water Supply Service Management Improvement; Component 3 - Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building; and Component 4 - Project Implementation Support. Each component includes subprojects. The contents of components are shown in Table II-1 below. Table II-1 Project Components Component Description Component 1. Water The component will focus on civil works construction that will directly Supply Infrastructure increase the quantity of water supply and improve the distribution network Improvement capacity and performance. Activities to be taken under the component include (i) rehabilitation of the two existing WSPs in the cities of Anshan and Fuxxin, respectively; (ii) upgrade, rehabilitation and replacement of water supply distribution networks, including main trunks (with the length of more than 200 km) and several hundred kilometers of secondary water distribution pipelines; and (iii) upgrade, rehabilitation and replacement of booster pumps, aiming at improving their performance and reducing secondary contamination. Component 2. Water This component will focus on enhancing the water supply service Supply Service management through non-revenue water (NRW) reduction, water quality Management monitoring, energy savings, and effective asset management. Activities to Improvement be taken under this component include (i) mapping and modeling of all water distribution systems in the five cities, using GIS; (ii) development of
