Field Plan for EnvironmentalMonitoring Spots Distribution Preface Jiangxi Province will construct Jiangxi No.2 Highway ( the Taihe-GanzhouSection of Gan-Yue Expressway)with the loansfrom the WorldBank. This willcontribute to the completionof the major frame for the provincial highway network. In order to enhance the function of this major framework-, Tangjiang-DongshanRoad ( RRIP 4 ), as a componentof the four Rural Roads ImprovementProgram ( RRIP), is also included in this project as a linkingroad upgradingsubproject. The Research& Design Institute of Jiangxi ProvincialHighway Administration finished the feasibility research report for this projectin May, 2000. According to the requirements of Rtules Concerning Environmental Protection Management for Construction Projects (State Council Decree No. 253) and Methods Concerning Elnvironnmental Protection Managemenit for Traffic Construiction Projects , Jiangxi High-Speed Highway Investment & Development Company Ltd entrusted Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Research Institute (JPEPRI)with the environmental impact assessment (EIA)work for the linking road subproject of Jiangxi No. 2 Highway Upgrading Project (JN2HUP) with loans from the World Bank in September, 2000. Accordingly, with the cooperation and support of the local governments along the route and other parts concerned as well as the designers, the EIA team from Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Research Institute (JPEPRI) made detailed study on the project feasibility research report, and made field survey along the entire route. Based on the findings of careful field work on the environmental status quo and the major objectives of environmental protection along the route as well as other related data collected from a variety of sources, the EIA team has completed the compilation of the environmental impact assessment. Based on this EIA Outline, the EIA team made detailed investigation and arranged relevant environmental monitoring along the route, and made analyses and prediction of the environmental impacts arising from the highway both in construction and operation periods, upon which corresponding measures and schemes were set forward for the abatement of the unfavorable environmental impact and pollution. By the end of October, 2000, the first edition of the EIA report was completed., and reviewed by the Pre-Appraisal Mission for Jiangxi No. 2 Highway Project in Nanchang City from November 12 to November 18, 2000. According to the comments and requirements from the mission, the EIA team of JPEPRI has revised and supplemented the first edition of the EIA report and completed its second edition. l Chapter One General Description 1.1 Purpose of Assessment Highway construction is of developing activity which exerts far-reaching influence on society and economy. Since it will have strong impact on the natural and social environments both in the construction and operation periods, the interaction between the project implementationand environmentalprotection should be carefullyhandled. This EIA work is intendedto have the followingaims:
