Foreword

Since the development of urbanization and mechanization has led to the ever-increasing gasoline usage in , energy will be principal factor influencing the Chinese social and economic development in future. For a long time, the country’s urban public traffic infrastructure construction has been lagged behind, and urban public traffic system is unable to satisfy the high-quality daily travelling of urban citizens. The acute imbalances between supply and demand of urban traffic are mainly reflected by the insufficient urban public traffic system capacity, out-of-step development of urban public traffic system with the urban scale, single urban public traffic structure and lack of the advanced traffic planning concept with most of cities experiencing the absence of public traffic-oriented traffic planning. The project is hereby made for helping Mudanjiang for further

III Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project 1 Overview

1.1 Project Origin and Construction Necessity

1.1.1 Project origin

Mudanjiang serves as an important node for joint rail and water transportation channel of

Northeast Asia and Eurasia Land Bridge. To its east is Russia's Primorsky Territory with border length of 211 km. Several national roads such as G11 (the former 201) and G10 (the former 301) and two railways of - Railway and Tumen- Railway are located within

Mudanjiang with tens of international and domestic flights destined for Seoul in Korea, Beijing,

Shanghai and , etc. There are four national Class A ports, namely Suifenhe Railway port

& highway port, Dongning Road port and Mudanjiang air harbor.

In 2010, the volume of road passenger and freight transportation throughout Mudanjiang reached to 33.08 million people and 32.11 million tons respectively, accounting for 83.4% and 75.2% of the comprehensive freight volume in the whole society; meanwhile, the passenger and freight traffic turnover reached 1.93 billion persons-km and 4.57 billion tons-km, accounting for respectively 56% and 21% of the comprehensive freight volume in the whole society. There are 8126 passenger service vehicles with 63998 seats and 17403 freight service cars with 79866 tonnages throughout the city. At present, there are 672 public traffic vehicles with 481 in urban area, the average daily passenger traffic volume of which reaches 370,000 people. In winter from November to March and in April to October, the average daily passenger traffic volume reaches 390,000 and

340,000 people respectively. There are 50 service lines now with 26 in urban area and 24 in suburb.

The total length of public transit network in Mudanjiang is 738.75km in which the length of suburb lines is 260.95km, forming the preliminary public transit network system. According to the

Mudanjiang citizens’ trip survey, the public traffic has a large proportion in the whole-day time trip, i.e. 46.3%. The citizens’ average travel time of public traffic is about 24 min and the average walking time to the nearest bus stop is about 5 min for urban citizens while that for more than 75% families is no more than 5 min and for 95% families is within 10 min.

As the ever-acceleration of national economic development and urbanization, the urban traffic

1 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

jam has been worsened increasingly. What’s more, the country’s urban public traffic infrastructure

construction is relatively lagged behind, together with out-of-step development of urban public traffic system with the urban construction, collectively causing insufficient urban public traffic system service and therefore failing to satisfy the rapidly increased trip demands of urban citizens.

The country attaches to great importance to the issue and make the public traffic priority as an important strategy. In the national “12th Five-year” plan, it’s clearly stated that the traffic

infrastructure construction should be quickened during the urban traffic development and the road

maintenance management and information construction should be intensified to construct a green

traffic system. The World Bank has incorporated the sustainable urban transportation project into

major supporting filed. The shift of urban development pattern and the acceleration of public traffic

and non-motorized traffic with low energy consumption and low emission will be promoted with

supporting loans combined with the project to realize the sustainable development of the city. As a city with medium-sized economic development, Mudanjiang, standing on the new starting point for development, proposes the Alpine-cold Intelligent Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System construction project. The project aims to cope with the great challenge brought by the rapid urbanization to urban planning and management through introducing the capital of World Bank and advanced concept, mitigate the traffic jam, improve the urban road traffic safety level, construct the basic, safe, harmonious and livable urban environment and therefore further improve the core competition of the city. Considering the actual needs in its urban traffic development, Mudanjiang applied for World Bank loan for construction of its urban traffic project in 2012. In September, 2012, the World Bank agreed the proposal for providing USD 0.1 billion for Mudanjiang urban traffic project on the loan project initial meeting hold jointly with NDRC and Ministry of Finance. In

November, 2012, the project passed the identification of the World Bank.

Mudanjiang is nowadays experiencing the accelerated development of urbanization, modernization and traffic motorization along with the rapid economic growth. The high-speed increase of vehicle ownership and high-intensified usage, together with highly concentrated functions and population in central city and insufficient attraction of public traffic, etc., the urban

2 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

traffic jam, road traffic safety, environmental pollution, energy conservation and emission reduction,

etc. are therefore increasingly standing out, thus bring huge pressure and serious challenge for the

sustainable development of Mudanjiang’s urban traffic. At present, the availability of five public

traffic corridors involved in the integrated corridors project of Mudanjiang urban traffic is insufficient with traffic disorder, thus influencing the overall road landscape effect. Additionally, the road space is not effectively used and space efficiency is not fully at work with poor road traffic order. Even on the same road, the design markers of various sections change frequently with poor continuity and traffic abilities. The future 10-20 years will be critical for the urban traffic development of Mudanjiang. The current choice will determine the basic framework of the urban traffic mode and possibility of realization of sustainable development. As a result, the urban public traffic development will be greatly promoted through project implementation and public traffic-driven green trip will be determined and construction of urban public traffic system characterized by low energy consumption and emission will be accelerated to systematically cope with the highlighted inconsistency between rapid increase of urban traffic volume with land and traffic resources, to improve the benefit and efficiency of traffic system and therefore to promote the sustainable development of the society, economy and environment.

According to the spirit of construction of intelligent public traffic system based on informatization and network to accelerate its development specified in outline of “12th Five-year”

development planning of Mudanjiang, Mudanjiang attaches equal importance to the construction of both infrastructure and intelligent pubic traffic system and includes the intelligent public traffic

system construction into the basic traffic construction plan and guarantees the smooth

implementation of the project by giving enough supports regarding policy, talents and capital.

In July, 2012, according to Notice of NDRC and Ministry of Finance on Instruction for

Alternative Project under Planning Funded by World Bank Loan in Fiscal Year of 2013-2015,

Mudanjiang road and intelligent public traffic system project was listed on the alternative project

under planning in fiscal year of 2013-2015. Establishment of leading group for World Bank Project

was determined on special session of Mudanjiang Municipal People’s Government in November,

3 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

2012. The World Bank Project office (set in Municipal Development and Reform Commission) is the executive organ of the project and three subproject offices (subproject office of municipal reformation, subproject office of public traffic reconstruction and subproject office of traffic control construction) are implementation agencies of the project. The planned total input of the project is

1.242934 billion Yuan (in which the World Bank funded loan of USD 0.1 billion)

The contents of determined project framework include four subprojects (16 subdivisions), namely integrated urban public traffic corridor project, supporting construction project of traffic infrastructure, intelligent system construction project and capacity building and project management, etc.

According to Law of the People’s Republic of China on Evaluation of Environmental Effects and

No.253 Decree of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China Regulations on the

Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection, the environmental impact assessment system must be executed for construction project. For the purpose of conducting environmental impact assessment well for project, Mudanjiang Development and Reform

Commission entrusted Environmental Protection Science Research Institute of Heilongjiang

Province to undertake the environmental impact assessment of the project and prepare the environmental impact report. The Academy prepared the Environment Impact Report of World Bank

Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project by analyzing and evaluating based on the investigation and monitoring for the proposed project according to relevant laws and regulations on environmental protection and technical specifications.

Figure 1.1-1 Overall Urban Plan of Mudanjiang (2006-2020)

1.1.2.1 Construction necessity of integrated public traffic corridor

The construction necessities for integrated public traffic corridor are mainly reflected by the followings through investigation of road traffic status and public traffic demand of Mudanjiang:

(1) Regarding policy, construction of bus lane is necessary for improving the green trip

proportion of Mudanjiang citizens, building public traffic city and mitigating traffic jam.

(2) Regarding public traffic demands, it’s vital to implementing the reconstruction of

integrated public traffic corridor to adapt to the further increase of public traffic in future.

(3) Regarding bus transit, the comprehensive reconstruction of relevant facilities such as traffic corridor intersection, slow traffic facilities, entrance, parking lot and pedestrian crossing facilities, etc. will realize the public traffic priority and overall improvement of traveling capacity and order of the corridor, thus creating convenient and ordered environment for other means of traveling.

(4) Regarding traffic safety, it’s necessary to promote the specific improvement plan of traffic

safety to each corridor through reconstruction of integrated public traffic corridor and therefore to

improve the overall traffic safety of public traffic corridor, thus creating safe traveling environment

for citizens choosing various means of trip.

(5) Regarding support for urban planning and development, Xisitiao Road and Dongsitiao

Road are south-northward corridors among the selected public traffic corridor, which is key axis

supporting the development of new district at south bank and construction of old urban area.

Guanghua Street, Ping’an Street and Xin’an Street are currently the important east-westward corridors. Taiping Road is central axial corridor in main urban area. The implementation of public traffic priority and comprehensive reconstruction of integration for those corridors will not only improve the traffic circulation of these corridors but also promote the development along the corridor line, support the new district construction and realize the positioning of planned function of corridors, thus realizing the established urban planning.

(6) Regarding promotion of surrounding road traffic circulation, there are various problems in traffic corridor circulation in core urban area now. The advanced integrated traffic management technologies will be promoted step by step in other corridors throughout the city and traffic corridors at new district through implementation of public traffic priority and comprehensive reconstruction for integration as proposed in the project and by obtaining the experiences of implementation of comprehensive reconstruction of traffic corridor in Mudanjiang, including intersection reconstruction, regional signal control, public traffic priority, pedestrian crossing, entrance reconstruction, parking and slow traffic, etc., which will fully improve the overall management level, circulation efficiency and safety of urban traffic.

(7) Regarding improvement of urban look, traffic corridor, as the urban skeleton system, is important window showing the urban management capacity, image and civilization status. The currently selected traffic corridors are all located at axes of the city. The improvement design for integrated corridor in public traffic priority will not only obviously improve the urban traffic circulation order and safety and establish the basic position of public traffic priority but also upgrade the overall urban management capacity and further improve the civilized image and overall look of

Mudanjiang.

1.1.2.2 Construction necessity of intelligent traffic system

Significant progress in the intelligent traffic system of Mudanjiang will be made through

9 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

implementation of the project, which will be the foundation for intelligent traffic system construction

of Mudanjiang in future. Its construction necessities are mainly shown as follows:

(1) Need for adapting to new urban objectives and positioning of Mudanjiang.

(2) Need for mitigating traffic jam and improving traffic control level.

(3) Need for improving public traffic circulation efficiency.

(4) Need for realizing the all-round public traffic information service.

(5) Need for improving the traffic coordination and command capacity and emergency disposal.

(6) Need for energy conservation and emission reduction.

1.1.2.3 Construction necessity of public traffic infrastructure

Public traffic of Mudanjiang is confronted with major problems, i.e. the current public traffic service cannot satisfy the demands for citizens with insufficient attraction. Main causes include: backward service, facilities, management and guarantee. Since the backward public traffic development has led to the shift of citizen’s trip mode into car travel, the traffic pressure, consequently, shows up increasingly. The motorization level of Mudanjiang improves constantly; however, the public traffic proportion is in standstill, which is caused by the low service level of public traffic facilities and will simultaneously react upon the public traffic and thus restrain its development. Hence, it’s vital to improve the basic condition of current public traffic to provide the necessary carrier and base for public traffic priority development of Mudanjiang.

1.1.2.4 Construction necessity of institutional capacity

The World Bank believes that strengthening of organizational construction which is proposed in

China: Strengthen Organizational Construction and Support the Sustainable Development of Urban

Traffic 2006.1 is an important issue. Considering the existence of weak link in urban organizational construction of Mudanjiang, the World Bank proposed the subproject for institutional capacity construction. The study on the institutional capacity construction is very helpful for actual improvement of Mudanjiang urban planning and decision-making ability, coordination of planning and financial department and realization of urban development and strategy in terms of

10 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

organizational guarantee. Institutional capacity construction is helpful for improving the effectiveness of future traffic investment and training plan to form effective cooperation between various departments and to specify their responsibilities, which is vital for the project development & promotion and smooth realization of objectives.

1.1.2.5 Compliance with Outline of the 12th Five-year Plan for National Economy and Social

Development of Mudanjiang City in Project Construction

From the Outline of the 12th Five-year Plan for National Economy and Social Development of

Mudanjiang City, we can see the overall plan for urban development is that:

——keep rapid economic growth, reach a new comprehensive strength, with the regional GDP

up to RMB 157.0 billion Yuan and its annual average growth rate of 15% above (doubled within

Fixed separation facilities shall be arranged by matching cross-street signal lamp and underground passageway to offer instruction for pedestrian crossing street

(3) Vertical Section

Road works of the project are all reconstruction of existing road because buildings on both sides of the

road are completed and position of pipelines and elevation of well are basically fixed and it shall be designed

by considering controlling factors such as elevation of existing road, apron elevation of existing buildings and

elevation of existing pipelines and tube wells. The design shall meet requirements of design code for urban

road and shall be in accordance with principles as follows:

1. Design of vertical section shall be suitable for layout of frontage building elevation and drainage of

surface water along the road.

2. Longitudinal slope should be gradual and smooth without frequent ups and downs in order to ensure

safety and comfort of driving.

3. Reconstruction of old road shall not influence drainage along the road in case of repaving old road.

4. Vertical section of the road shall guarantee covering depth of underground pipeline.

Except the stop at the four major roads and Taiping Road of buses to the downtown area, other stops are mainly in the Aimin Street, Qixin Street, Jingfu Street, Shizheng Road, Yong’an Road, Dongyitiao Road,

61 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

Dongertiao Road, Mudan Street, Chang’an Street, Xiyitiao Road, Dongsantiao Road, Xiertiao Road, and

Rizhao Street (13.338km). Except the Taiping Road, the above roads are the roads with the peak number of

peope in Mudanjiang for shopping and relaxation (excluding the major road). Meanwhile the sidewalk is

destroyed severely due to the heavy human traffic. Sidewalk along these 13 roads were mainly made of

azulejos which crack, break and fade with sags and crests on the sidewalk. Sidewalk of differect sections of

the same road were made of different materials due to historical reasons, for example, paving materials for

sidewalks along Qixing Street and from Xisantiao Road to Dongsitiao Road were azulejo, granite and cement

so that sections of road are sharply different which seriously damages the road landscape.

In order to ensure maximum effectiveness of slow-driving corridor of Taiping Road, guarantee continuous and comfortable slow-driving system and guide residents to travel in trip mode of “walk + bus” and “bike + bus” so as to mitigate traffic jam and reduce motor vehicle exhaust emission with a result of comtable, safe, convenient, clean and quiet Mudanjiang Central District. 13 roads around Taiping Road in the area are selected as reconstruction project of downtown pedestrian system with aiming at the above mentioned.

2.6.4 Traffic safety education base

Education base is intended to be built by combining with traffic safety command center of Mudanjiang,

and a new two-story building shall be built on the foundation of existing attached building that is on the west of traffic police division, serving as the special building of Mudanjiang city’s road traffic safety education

71 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

base. The items proposed to build include civil engineering and decoration, exhibition hall of traffic safety education, centre for distance education, educational printing equipment and centre for educational film production etc.

2.6.5 Public traffic driver training center

At present, the training for Mudanjiang municipal public transport enterprise’s drivers is done in bus driving school (self-possessed), with no independent training institution or place. Training for the skills of public transport enterprise’s drivers is a business of driving school, and there are 869 existing drivers in public transport enterprise; and 4 part-time teachers. Major training items include training of large bus driving skills, once a year, training of safety amd service skills, twice a year, and awards can be issued through skills competitions, it is a serious training activity with certain scale.

There are 702 buses, 52 routes and 869 driver staff in public transport enterprise of Mudangjiang, there is no special and independent training education base, training in every year lasts for a short time and with insufficient class hours, thus the ecpected effect has not attached and traffic and service accidents are happening usually.

Inder to provide a better training for the bus drivers’ skills and qualities, the public transport vehicle training site and public traffic driver training center urgently need to be reconstructed according to the requirement of ministry of public security’s oreder 123. Main construction content of the proposed built public transport traffic driver training center includes:

(1) Rest service center

The planned floor area is 420m2, with three levels on the ground, and the building area is 1260m2, thereinto staff lobby lounge, supermarket, trainner’s lounge, office and boiler room shall be included.

The public traffic driver training center shall have a 2t self-built coal boiler (chain briquette coal boiler), belonging to hoter water boiler and adopting wet dedusting technology. Chain boiler is stable in burning condition, high in heating efficiency and east to operate, with low work intensity and low concentration of smoke emission. Wet dedusting technology is to clean the gas by washing out the dust through full contact of cleaning liquid (usually water) and dusty gas. This dedusting method has a high effiency, and the dust collector is with simple structure, easy to operate and repaire, is particularly satisfied for cleaning the dusty

72 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

gas with high temperature, high humity, flammable and explosive. In addition, partial gaseous pollutant can

be cleaned in dedusting.

2.6.6 Acquisition of public transport vehicles

Currently, Mudanjiang city owns 702 public transport vehicles, thereinto 169 sets are diesel vehicles and 533

sets are duel fuel vehicles. Since most of the vehicles confront the situation of 8-year replacement and

obsoleteness, some public transport vehicles are needed to be purchased.

The public transport vehicles need to be purchased are 120 clean-energy public transport vehicles, for

present, 0.5 million Yuan need to be paid for each vehicle after state subsidies are deducted, thus 60 million

Yuan is planed to be invested.

2.7 Intelligent Traffic System

Base on the intelligence traffic system of Mudanjiang, the project will be expanded and deeply

integrated, and builds “a data center, six businesses system” including traffic integrated supervision, signal

control, automatic record of illegal behavior, intelligent bus dispatch, traffic emergency command and

3 Current Status of Environment Quality

3.1 Natural Environment

3.1.1 Geographic Location

Mudanjiang is the city controlled by Heilongjiang Province, China. Located at Southeast of

Heilongjiang Province, it’s seated at “Golden Triangle” back-land of China, Russia and North Korea with

obvious advantages of regional development, thus serving as the important central city at eastern region of

Northeast China. Mudanjiang is located between128°02′ and 131°18′ east longitude and between 43°24′ and

45°59′ east latitude, bordering Harbin, Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture of Province and Far East of Russia to the

West, South and East respectively. Located at the northern part of gorgeous , Mudanjiang River passes

through the whole city from south to north. Mudanjiang is seated at the southeast part of Heilongjiang Province and

it controls cities and prefectures including Hailin, Ningan, Muleng, Suifenhe, Linkou, Dongning etc. (among

which Suifenhe has become a city that has part of it’s authority being equal to prefecture-level city and being

controlled by Mudanjiang partially ), adjoining Russia and neighboring Yilan County and of

Qitaihe City to its north, Wichang City, City and of Harbin to its west,

Wangqing County and Dunhua County of Jilin Province to its south and City and Jidong City to its east.

Mudanjiang covers an area of 40,600 square kilometers with an urban area of 2,456 square kilometers and a

build-up area of 727,900 square kilometers. Mudanjiang will boost the economic development of

Heilongjiang Province following its rapid social and economic development provided sound geographic

location, mild climate, beautiful environment, rich resources and good transportation system. At the end of

2011, Mudanjiang had a total population of 2.786 million, including an urban population of 962,000; the

registered population of the whole city is 2.67 million with 890,000 people living in the urban area; among

registered population, there are 1.46 million non-agricultural population and 1.21 million agricultural

population; the population proportion between male and female is 50.2:49.8; and the newly-born population

and dead population of Mudanjiang are 18,000 and 21,000 respectively. The natural population growth rate is

2.1%.

3.1.2 Topography and Landform

75 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

The central part of the city is the valley vasin of Mudanjiang River, thus being mountainous and being covered by vertical and horizontal rivers, refered to as “rivers and mountains accounting for nine while field accounting for only one” and mountains and hills are major landforms of the city, mainly middle mountains, low mountains, hills and valley basins. The average elevation of Mudanjiang is 230 meters with the highest elevation at the top of the Baitushan of the Zhangguangcai Mountain, 1,686.9 meters and the lowest elevation at the border area between Suifenhe city and Russia, 86.5 meters. At the conjunction area between

Zhangguangcai Mountain and Laoye Mountain and that between Mudanjiang fault (from south to north) and

Wave River fault (from east to west),Mudanjiang, an intermountain basin formed in Meso Senozoic, is seated on the second uplift belt of Zhangguangcai Mountain-Laoye Mountain belonging to the new cathaysian system. The intermountain basin goes from north and east to south and west and the north is higher than the south, reflecting geomorphic features that the city is surrounded by mountains and the natural basin is relatively low in the middle. Mudanjiang River flows from southwast to northeast of the city.

77 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

3.1.3 Climate Feature

The climate of Mudanjiang is temperate continential monsoon climate and Mudanjiang is cold and dry

in winter influenced by continental circulation of East Asia, and cool and rainy in summer influenced by the

Pacific high pressure ridge controlled by Low. Spring and autumn are transition seasons that

last quite short. The annual average temperature is 3.8 ℃ and the maximum temperature and minimum temperature is in summer and winter respectively, being 36.3 ℃ and -38.3 ℃; the average rainfall is 531.0 mm; the average annual evaporation capacity is 11,223.3 mm; the annual average wind speed is 21 m/s with the first wind direction being west-south-west (WSW) and the annual leading wind direction being southwest wind (SW), both winds having an occurance frequency of 15%; the calm wind occurance frequency is 23%; the annual average pressure is 985.7 hPa; the annual sunshine hours is 2473.8 h; and the annual average relative humidity is 66%.

The climate of Mudanjiang belongs to temperate continental monsoon climate. Analysis of meteorological data of the latest ten years released by Mudanjiang Meteorological Center is shown as follows:

(1)Temperature

Yearly Average Temperature 3.1℃

Monthly Maximum Average Temperature in Summer 22.0℃

The extreme cold weather of Mudanjiang has posed a great challenge to the city’s transportation system

in the following aspects:

1. For travelers, it is better to go out in engine driven ways under cold weather and the slow travel share

rate is relatively low from November to March. The large gap between the travel demand and service level as

well as service capacity has resulted in a rapid growth in sedan car ownership and a high strength in sedan car

usage, therefore bringing large pressure to the city’s transportation system.

2.For transportation infrastructure, it has required that the public traffic terminal station, the warranty

factory, under cold weather, the bus station and the public traffic hub should be functioned with heating ability

considering problems of public traffic vehicles such as antifreezing, low temperature start, etc., but till now,

the public traffic infrastructure and vehicles of Mudanjiang are unable to supply heating. At the same time,

the cold weather has asked more for the ability of anti low temperature for field equipment of the intelligent

system. At present, most of public traffic vehicles in the city have no place to store, making it more difficult to

operate in winter.

3.1.4 Hydrologic Condition

In Mudanjiang, there are more than 300 rivers including Mudanjiang River, Wusuli River, Muleng River,

Suifen River, Wave River, etc. among which the drainage area of Mudanjiang, Muleng River, and Suifenhe are 26,287 square kilometers, 6,154 square kilometers, and 7,629 square kilometers respectively. The city has

79 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

rich water resources and the famous Jingbo Lake Underground Power Station is located there. Originated from Mudan Ridge of Changbai Mountain, Mudanjiang is the second largest tributary of , roughly flowing from the south to the north in 725 km, with an average slope of 1.39%, a total fall of 1,007 m, covering an area of 37,600 km2. Mudanjiang is in a south-north narrow and long shape which flows across

Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province and it is located between 127 ° 32 '- 130 ° 45' east longitude and between 43 ° 00 ' and 46 ° 16' north latitude. Tumen River lies to the south of Mudanjiang; Muleng River borders Mudanjiang to its east; the boundary between Zhangguangcai Ridge and Lalin River as well as Mayi

River is to its west; and the tributary of Sunhua River borders Mudanjiang to its north. Mudanjiang River flows into Sunhua River in Yilan County. Numbers of tributaries on the two banks are relatively even and the tributaries are generally small, most short and rapid. The hydrographic net is shaped in tree branch.

Mountains account for 89% of the drainage basin, forests taking up to 46% of the whole; the lake rate is 0.3%; the swamp rate is 3.24%; and flat land only accounts for 7.78% of the drainage basin, which is a quite small.

Mudanjiang is divided into three parts: the upstream, the midstream, and the downstream.

The upstream: from Heyuan to Jingbo Lake. The stream gradient is 5 ‰. In upper part of Liukesong, there are dense forests, narrow and long valleys, and overlapping rivers and streams; from Liukesong to

Mahao Mountain, there are twisted rivers and lots of wetland on the two banks; between Mahao Mountain and Dunhua, forests and arable land are rare.

The midstream: from Jingbo Lake to the inlet of Wusihun River. The stream gradient is from 0.4 ‰ to

0.5 ‰. From Jingbo Lake to Datun, the geological component is mainly basalt and the famous Diaoshuilou

Waterfall with a fall of about 20m; down from Datun, the valley gradually expands; from

Dongjingchangmian to Mudanjiang, there are large numbers of ridges and flatforms in slope shape where the mountains are round, forming a impact plain where it joins Wave River.

The downstream: from the inlet of Wusihun River to Yilan County. The stream gradient is 0.95 ‰ to

0.43 ‰. Following the Sandaohezi is a shoval in the river. Generally, land in prismatic is arable land.

Mudanjiang is a mountainous river, covered by lots of vegetation, and it’s well-watered therefore to possess rich water resources.

3.1.5 Regional Geological Structure

80 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

Mudanjiang is located in the intercross section between Jiamusi Uplift of Jilin and Heilongjiang folded

stratra system and folded stratra belt of Zhangguangcai Ridge. Invaded by acidic and alphailine magmatic

rock, the base rock is metamorphic rock of upper Paleozoic in which sendimentary cover exists and the

sendimentary cover is mainly continental deposits, mixed with marine strata. Inland depression is formed by

Mesozoic tectonic movement which deposis stratra of Jurassic system and cretaceous system, remaining

denudation since then. The Cenozoic includes intermountain basin depositss with vocanic eruption

invasion.Mudanjiang is in the second uplift zone belonging to Neocathaysian structural system with complex

geological structure, mainly influenced by Dunmi Fault and Yishu Fault. Mudanjiang River flows across this

region in a sequence fault order.

3.1.6 Hydrogeololgy

Type of underground water: phreatic water within gravel stone stratum in the Quaternary system of

alluvial plain floodplain of the Mudanjiang river valley. During high flow period, the underground water has

slight pressure bearing. The high water period in Mudanjiang River lasts from August to October every year

and the low water season is in March. The annual viriation of underground water varies between 1.50 m to

2.00 m. The upper water-resisting layer consists of low liquid limit slits; the aquifier consists of poor grading cobbles (round gravels), well grading gravels, poor grading fine sand and poor grading cobbles (pebbles), belong to strong permeable stratum; and the lower water-resisting layer consists of argillaceous siltstones, whose roof burial depth is 4.00~12.60 m.

Main aquifiers of this district include round gravels and pebbles. Parameters obtained by applying three

times of drawdown in single well pumping test are as follows:

Osmotic codfficient: K=60 m/d

Unit water inflow: q=3.0 L/ s·m

R value of radius of influence: R=260 m (three drawdowns 1.5~2.0 m) 3.1.7 Earthquake

Mudanjiang-Huichui deep earthquake area is in the southeast of Mudanjiang whose biggest earthquake

magnitude can reach 7.9 degrees, but it brings no destructive damage to the surface. There are frequent

earthquake activities along the Dunhua-Mi Mountain fault zone. Over the past century, there has formed an

81 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

earthquake concentration area in the overlapping area between Mudanjiang fault and Dunmi fault.Research data of Northeast region show that quasi-periodic for shallow-focus earthquake for the latest century is about

20 years, all belonging to shallow-focus earthquakes with M1 < 4.0 degrees.

Mudanjiang belongs to Dunmi seismic tectonic belt and potential focal area of Mudanjiang with

Ningan-Wangqing potential focal area and Dongning potential focal area to its south and east respectively.

According to the 2002 version of the Drawing of Anti-seismic Fortification of Heilongjiang Province and the Appedix A GB50011-2001 of the Code for Anti-seismic Design for Construction, it is determined that the anti-seismic fortification density (seismic basic density) in this area is 6 degree and the basic seismic acceleration value is designed to be 0.05 g.

According to the GB50011-2010 of the Code of Anti-seismic Design for Construction, the anti-seismic fortification intensity in bridge area is 6 degrees; the measuring level of anti-seismic fortification is 7 degrees; and the basic seismic acceleration value is designed to be 0.05 g. If there is no silty-fine sand in the basic bearing layer, the liquefied effect could not be taken into consideration. Based on GB50223-2008 of the

Standard of Classification of Anti-seismic Fortification in Construction Engineering, the classification of this project belongs to key fortification.

3.1.8 Soil Environment

There are three kinds of soils distributed around the project area: dark brown soil, baijiang soil and meadow soil, which are all low production soils in which the organic content and total nutrigon content belong to medium level; the total phosphorus content is relatively low; and the total potassium content is rich.

The project is located on low and flat area and soil there is slightly eroded.

The base soil in the project area belongs to silty layer in the Quaternary Period and alluvial depositss layer and soil under the ground belongs to silty clay layer. The plant lies on flat terrain. The underground water belongs to the Quaternary phreatic water, with the underground water level being -3.2~-5.5 meters and the static water level being –3.10 meters, and the water is non-corrosive. The soil bearing capacity is 110 Kpa and the soil is seasonal frozen soil. The distribution of lithological down from ground surface is as follows:

Layer 1: arable soil; black; containing plant root system; 0.5 m in thickness;

From table 3.3-9, we learn that TSP daily average concentration has exceeded the amount as described

at the Jiangnan Public Traffic Hub and Hualin Public Traffic Station whose daily average concentration is 413

ug/m3 and 319 ug/m3 respectively with over-standard ratio of 100% and 100% respectively. The facts that the two monitoring sites are close to construction site which raises dust due to the presence of large amounts of bare surface soil and vehicles running on roads without hardening are closely related to the over-standard of

TSP in the two monitoring sites. The CO maximum daily average concentration is at Jiangnan Public Traffic

Hub, a maximum dialy average concentration of 1.68 mg/m3, accounting for 42% of the standard; the NO2

maximum daily average concentration is at Daqinglu Public TrafficFactory, a maximum daily average concentration of 45 ug/m3, accounting for 56.25% of the standard, no exceeding.

From table 3.3-10, we know that the maximum hour average concentration is at Jiangnan Public Traffic

3 Hub, 1.75 mg/m , accounting for 17.5% of the standard; the NO2 maximum hour daily concentration is also

3.4.3.1 Current status evaluation

(1) Evaluation scope

It is the same as the monitoring range.

(2) Evaluation parameters

All the monitoring items serve as evaluation parameters.

3.4.3.2 Evaluation method

The single pollution index method is adopted for evaluation in this project:

Pi=Ci/Cs

In which: Pi—single pollution index of a parameter;

Ci—measured concentration of a parameter (mg/L)

Cs—evaluation standard of a parameter (mg/L)

For pH:

Pi =(7.0-Ci)/(7.0-Csd) (when Ci≤7.0)

Pi =(Ci-7.0)/(Csu-7.0) (when Ci>7.0)

In which: Csd—lower limit of pH value as specified in the standard;

Csu—upper limit of pH value as specified in the standard;

If the sub-index Pi is greater than 1, the water quality parameter exceeds the specified water quality

standard. Otherwise, it meets the evaluation standard level.

3.4.3.3 Evaluation standard

The surface water body is Mudanjiang River in this project, which shall be as per Class III standards in

Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002).

See table 3.4-3 for evaluation standard.

4 Scheme Comparison

4.1 Purpose of Analyzing Project Alternative Scheme

The purpose is to perform systematic comparison and analysis to different alternative schemes from the

possible environmental impact, impact on road greening and safety, feasibility of mitigation measures, costs

of these measures, requirements on management and training and energy conservation and emission

reduction etc. in the design stage of the project, in order to find the best scheme in environmental perspective,

and provide decision support for optimizing project design, so as to reduce the load of environmental

protection measures in the future.

4.2 Zero Scheme Comparison

Zero scheme means there is no project scheme, which is not a feasible scheme, because the project

selection (i) meets the upper level industrial policy and the relevant planning requirements; (ii) the project is

necessary when analyzing from several aspects, for the details, see section 1.1.2.

Zero scheme comparison is the comparison of impact on external environment between no construction

and construction of project.

Seen from the relevant contents of project construction meaning, if the project is not constructed, the phenomena of congestion at the relevant traffic intersection and roads may occur in Mudanjiang, the reduction of car running speed may also cause increase of fuel quantity and pollutant emission, meanwhile, it

may increase travel time of pedestrians, reduce efficiency, which may not only consume fuel but also pollute

environment, therefore, the impact on external environment by zero scheme is obvious.

On the contrary, if the project is constructed, it may certainly reduce the current traffic congestion phenomena, to make a corresponding increase in running speed of cars, while reduce pollutant emission and be convenient to travelling of pedestrians, which is not only energy conservation but also emission reduction.

Of course, smooth road may bring about increase in car ownership, which may increase fuel and pollutant emission correspondingly, but it only can be realized based on improvement of people’s living standard, therefore, it has essential difference with no development and no construction of zero scheme.

In general, the project is a project with more positive environment benefit than negative benefit, which is

118 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

benefit for people’s livelihood, and the impact on external environment by project construction is obviously

greater than zero scheme impact brought about by no construction.

Meanwhile, under the project implementation conditions, the daily car travel volume and proportion of

residents will be reduced compared to the condition with no implementation of project, while the travel

volume and proportion of public traffic and walk may rise due to implementation of the project, and project

implementation may reduce the pollution of car on ambient air and pollution of acoustic environment. For the

whole road network, the vehicle volume of “project implementation” may be reduced compared to

“maintaining current status”, which may improve the acoustic environment of the whole road network

involving sensitive points.

The changes of impact on environmental noise and ambient air quality between “project

implementation” and “maintaining current status” are mainly: subgrade, pavement and bridge deck

optimization; the traffic volume in the project area is reduced in the operation period; the vehicle speed of

road network may be increased (there are certain increase in vehicle speed of buses of bus lanes in the project

area, the vehicle speed of private cars is of certain reduction, and the vehicle speed of the overall road

network is increased), after the project is implemented, subgrade, pavement and bridge deck optimization,

and reduction of traffic volume in the operation period may help improve noise environment and air

environment. Therefore, analyze from the environmental protection perspective, it is recommended to

implement the project.

4.3 Subproject Scheme Comparison

As intelligent traffic system, capacity construction and project management project belonging to traffic management capacity construction project, which has positive benefit for environmental protection, it may have no impact on environment, therefore, scheme comparison is not done for the project in this chapter.

The transportation infrastructures involved in the project have been reserved in the land use planning of

Mudanjiang and clarified in the transportation planning of Mudanjiang, and there is no alternative address.

Therefore, address selection comparison will not be done in this environmental impact assessment any more.

4.4 Integrated Transport Corridor Construction Project

119 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

As the design of reconstruction road subproject in the project is done based on Mudanjiang Urban

Overall Planning, Mudanjiang Public Traffic Transportation Special Planning and Mudanjiang Public Traffic

Transportation Intelligent Building “the 12th Five-Year” Development Planning, section 1.1.2 of chapter 1 of the report discussed the selection of several traffic corridors in the project, which meet Mudanjiang urban development planning and urban traffic and road development planning, and they are all based on the existing urban roads. Therefore, the feasibility study report of the project does not give the address selection and route selection comparison scheme, which only give the local cross section comparison of two road sections of

Ping’an Street public traffic corridor (Xishiyitiao Road to Xisitiao Road, Dongxiaoyitiao Road to Dongsitiao

Road), cross section comparison of Xin’an Street public traffic corridor (scheme 1 and scheme 2) and local comparison scheme of “Xishiyitiao Road to Xisantiao Road” of scheme 1 of Xin’an Street. The assessment is done on this basis.

4.4.1 Ping’an Street public traffic corridor

4.4.1.1 Xishiyitiao Road to Xisitiao Road

The length of this section of road is 1.67 km, and the scheme comparison shall be done firstly for the cross section of this section of road aiming at maintaining the current status, scheme 1 and scheme 2.

Maintaining current status: Mudanjiang Construction Bureau will repair the pavement regularly according to the management regulations of the relevant urban roads, but the construction period is dispersed, so the travel impact, noise impact and atmospheric impact caused to the residents in the Environmental project area are more frequent, and the affecting time is long. Impact during Scheme 1 and scheme 2 are concentrated on transformation of the whole road section, the construction period is concentrated, and the impacts on Construction residents are concentrated in the construction period, which can shorten the affecting time of residents. The impact difference in construction period of scheme 1 and scheme 2 is not large, which are both better than maintaining the current status. Maintaining current status: pavement and subgrade of some road sections of the road is seriously damaged, which lead the road linear landscape be Ecological discontinuous, and as the subgrade pavement is broken and exposed, in rainy season, the sand gravel is lost due to rain erosion, which may damage the Landscape ecological environment and be easy to block the pavement drainage holes. Environmental Scheme 1 and scheme 2 may reduce the ecological impact caused by serious damage of existing subgrade pavement after improving the pavement, which Impact can also improve the continuity of pavement landscape. Meanwhile, besides transplant all the roadside trees in project construction process, street trees shall

121 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

be planted newly, which may improve the greening effect of roads and have positive ecological environmental impact. The difference of impact on ecology and landscape in scheme 1 and scheme 2 is not large, which are both better than maintaining the current status. 1. The street trees newly-built in scheme 1 and scheme 2 will improve the greening condition at both sides of roads, which may make the greening belt be denser, and the protection effect of noise is far better than maintaining current status; 2. The separators newly-built in scheme 1 and scheme 2 can reduce cumulated influence of noise of two-way driving vehicles; Acoustic 3. The subgrade and pavement are transformed and repaired in scheme 1 and scheme 2, the traffic volume in operation period will be reduced comparing to Impact in maintaining current status, both of which may reduce noise impact. Operation 4. In scheme 1, as the widths of guard rail and marginal strip are narrow, it may have certain influence on traffic capacity of roads. Scheme 2 can guarantee Period the traffic speed and traffic capacity of roads, to avoid the driver from whistling due to irritable mood caused by low vehicle speed, to relieve the noise impact of sensitive points as both sides, thus, scheme 2 is better than scheme 1. In conclusion, analyze from acoustic environment impact analyzing perspective, it is recommended to adopt road scheme 2. 1. The street trees newly-built in scheme 1 and scheme 2 will improve the greening condition at both sides of roads, and the trees may purify the air and improve the air quality; Air 2. The subgrade and pavement are transformed and repaired in scheme 1 and scheme 2, which may reduce the impact of raise dust and vehicle exhaust Environmental emission increase caused by bad road condition in running of cars; Impact in 3. After scheme 1 and scheme 2 are implemented, the traffic volume in operation period will be reduced comparing to maintaining current status, which can Operation reduce vehicle exhaust emission and raise dust induced by vehicle travelling; Period 4. The traffic capacity of scheme 2 is stronger than that of scheme 1, the exhaust emitted in bad car traffic capacity is more than good traffic capacity, and thus, scheme 2 is better than scheme 1. In conclusion, analyze from air environment impact analyzing perspective, it is recommended to adopt road scheme 2. The impacts on ecological environment, acoustic environment and ambient air of scheme 1 and scheme 2 are better than maintaining current status, the Conclusion impact on acoustic environment and ambient air of scheme 2 is better than scheme 1, thus, it is recommended to adopt road scheme 2.

and bus driver training center. The infrastructures with sensitive points in the evaluation scope is Jiangnan

public traffic hub (NW, 110 m, Mudanjiang fire brigade), and first and last station of Bada bus (NW, 160 m,

Mahuagou village), and other infrastructures (Jiangnan public traffic hub, warranty shop, first and last station

of Hualin bus, first and last station of Fujiang bus, public traffic driver training center), and there are no

ambient noise sensitive points within the evaluation scope. When the vehicles are running at daytime (6:00 to

22:00), the noise of Mudanjiang fire brigade 110 m away from the Jiangnan public traffic hub has basically

met the standard, the noise of Mahuangou village 160 m away from first and last station of Bada bus meeting

the standard, and the project is not operated at night (22:00 to 6:00). In conclusion, the impact on surrounding

environment by public traffic infrastructure is very small, and the address selection of the project is

reasonable.

Jiangnan public traffic passenger hub center plans to cover an area of 4.29 hectares, first and last station of Bada bus plans to cover an area of 0.43 hectares, first and last station of Hualin bus plans to cover an area of 1.51 hectares, first and last station of Fujiang bus plans to cover an area of 0.40 hectares, public traffic warranty shop of Daqing Road plans to cover an area of 1.11 hectares, bus driver training center covers an area of 1.89 hectares, and planning land using nature currently is public traffic station land. The land resource

utilization is reasonable.

The bus stations involved in the project is of convenient traffic, coordinated passenger flow, feasible land

utilization, environmental permit, and project construction condition permit.

(1) Buildings with reasonable floor height

The floor 1 of transfer functional zone is waiting hall, which belongs to public building, express hotel also belongs to public building, and the floor height is required to set high due to the following reasons.

① Many people will enter the public buildings, if the floor is low, it will make people feel depressed

and there is not enough air;

② Many pipelines in public buildings, such as air conditioning, fire control pipelines, shall be laid along

the internal top of the buildings, they requires center space, and the large span space beam height is larger,

after suspending the ceiling, the clearance will be very low, thus, when designing public buildings, the floor

height will be as large as possible.

(2) Buildings recommended reducing the floor height

The upstairs of hub and first and last station are all internal office rooms (non-public use), in

environment impact assessment, try to reduce floor height as much as possible, but it shall guarantee the

health level of users is not affected, and the theoretical basis are as follows:

① National standard of the People’s Republic of China Design Code for Residential Buildings

134 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

GB500961999 requirements: the floor height of common residence should not be higher than 2.80 m; the ceiling height of bedroom and living room (hall) shall not be lower than 2.40 m, and the ceiling height of kitchen and rest room shall not be lower than 2.20 m. Today, many developed countries on the world limit their respective ceiling height of residence below 3 m, for example, the American regulation is 2.28 to 2.4 m, the UK regulation is 2.2 to 2.4 m, and Japanese and Poland regulation is 2.2 to 2.6 m.

② Floor height and ceiling height of residence may directly affect the project cost, it is due to the condition that if the floor height and ceiling height increases, the wall area will increase, the column volume will increase, and bring about foundation pipeline heating factors, which may also increase the project cost.

When the floor height is reduced from 3 m to 2.8 m, the comprehensive cost of each set of resident will reduce 4% to 5%, which can also save materials, energy and be benefit for anti-seismic mouth.

③ On the condition that meeting the using requirements and sanitary requirements, reduce the floor height properly may reduce the housing spacing correspondingly, which may save land, reduce housing weight, and save materials. Proper reduction in floor height may save energy. Space ratio treatment shall use different treatments of window to adjust the space sense of proportion. Through using the contrast technique of setting off high with low, reduce the ceiling of the secondary room, so as to make the major space look taller, and the secondary space is kind and pleasant.

④ Impacts on energy conservation by floor height are mainly reflected on the following aspects: production energy consumption of building materials is usually larger, reducing the floor height can reduce the using amount of wall materials, pipeline engineering materials and base materials of building. Building envelope area: the heat transmission amount of building envelope is proportional to the heat transmission area thereof, reduction in heat transmission area can reduce heat transmission amount effectively. The heat transmission area of wall depends on the floor height and perimeter of house, therefore, on the condition that meeting the using head room height requirements of house, the floor height shall not be increased at will.

When the wall thickness, perimeter and wall material is unchanged, changes of floor height may directly bring about changes of heat transmission amount.

However, in the environment impact assessment, it is recommended to design the floor height of the above infrastructure further, to reduce the wall body, column and coating materials, meanwhile, the vertical

135 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

length of equipment pipeline can be reduced. In order to save the materials and energy consumption of heating and lighting, so as to save project cost and operation cost. But the basic demands of the residents shall be guaranteed, and the reasons are as follows:

A. The air cleanliness required by sanitation and health refers to that some harmful gases, metabolites, floating dust and total bacterial amount contained in the air of the living room shall not exceed certain amount.

These gases are mainly carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and methyl aldehyde etc. They are very harmful to humans, if the concentration is too high, it may cause various diseases of cardiovascular and respiratory system, and some of them are serious cancerogens. According to the relevant data, the floor height of living room and accumulated zone of indoor pollutant are distributed in vertical band, when the floor height of living room is lower than 2.55, the carbon dioxide concentration of each level in the room almost over the sanitary standard of living room, and the vertical distribution mainly accumulated in the height of 1.2 to 1.4 m, i.e. the location of respiratory zone when human is sitting or standing. Tests show that, when the floor height is 2.67 m, the indoor pollutant condition may be improved. When the floor height is above 2.84 m, the carbon dioxide concentration in the air of living room is lower than 1%, and the dust concentration is lower than

0.15mg/m3, both of them meet the healthy housing standard. For the residents, proper head room may give a good sense of space, if the head room is too low, it may make people feel depressed. Design of Civil

Buildings conforms to the test regulations, the ceiling height shall not be lower than 2.8 m. For many houses newly-built since 1980s, the ceiling height fails to reach 2.8 m required by Design of Civil Buildings, adding with large areas of ceiling decoration, the ceiling height even fails to reach 2.55 m, which may cause bad indoor ventilation.

B. The relatively low room may bring about many problems to residents, such as insufficient lighting, poor ventilation, reduction in housing quality and decoration limit etc. If lighting and ventilation cannot fully provided, the temperature and humidity in the room will not be better improved and adjusted, and certain confortable degree will not be achieved. Through good residential design, provide the residents with enough floor height, and guarantee the residents with good lighting and ventilation condition, in order to replace or reduce air conditioning function in summer. Bright hall, bright bedroom, bright kitchen and bright rest room design shall be adopted, which can reduce lighting electricity, utilize the solar energy and realize

136 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

photoelectrical conversion, it will make the sun system and housing structure combined together, which not

only achieve organize and beautiful, but also can use the energy as much as possible.

C. The pipelines are usually hidden above the ceiling or below the floor, it means that the increasingly

growing pipelines can only be contained through enlarging the space above the ceiling or below the floor

through improving the floor height. However, blindly increasing the floor height is not desirable, if the floor

height is increased, the project cost will have to increase. Therefore, reasonable confirming of the floor height

can not only avoid unnecessary material waste, to reduce upfront investment; but also will be of great benefit

for effective utilization of space, saving of energy costs, even adjusting housing psychology and allaying

tiredness.

D. For human activities, the ceiling height of the room shall be no lower than 2.20 m. The ceiling height

of bedrooms usually takes 2.8 to 3.0 m, but it shall be no lower than 2.4 m.

4.5.2 Indoor and outdoor anti-slip comparison suggestion of public traffic infrastructure

(1) Outdoor anti-slip of bus station

It is suggested that the outdoor ground granite plate of the first and last station is fire board, which can

play a role in anti-slip, to prevent the pedestrian from falling down.

(2) Indoor anti-slip of bus station

It is suggested to lay carpets on the passages people getting through inside the bus station, which is used for anti-slip, to prevent pedestrian from falling down.

4.5.3 Scheme design comparison suggestion of Jiangnan public traffic hub center

Connection condition of each building in the hub

The buildings in Jiangnan public traffic hub include: transfer complex building, express hotel, vehicle testing line, vehicle warranty management center, ground garage and staff shift dormitories.

The passengers can enter into the bus zone from the back door at floor 1 of transfer complex building;

The passengers can outbound through floor 1 of express hotel after getting off from the bus zone, if you need

to stay, the transfer complex building is close to the express hotel, than the alighting passengers can enter into

the waiting hall of the transfer complex building for rest..The aerial view of the project is shown in Figure

4.5-1. The floor plan of floor 1 of transfer complex building is shown in Figure 4.5.2.

139 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

Comparison suggestion of environment impact assessment:

(1) Wind, rain, ice and snow prevention design of passenger passage

The outdoor passage from hotel to waiting hall is provided with rain shed, which is rainproof and snow-proof.

The environment impact assessment suggests that this passage use closed ceiling, in order to guarantee the light within the passage and no constriction generated by passengers, it is suggested that the ceiling using transparent materials.

The rainwater on shoes of the passengers and the rainwater on the umbrella in rainy season, and the snow on shoes of the passengers and the snow spread on clothes in snow season may drop on the floor of the passage. In environment impact assessment, it is required to add the anti-slip facilities such as anti-slip design

and laying carpet on the passage, meanwhile, in view of the low temperature in winter, if the carpets is frozen,

they will be surrounded by ice, which may lead to slippery road, if carpet is laid, it is required that the passage

is provided with insulation function. If carpets are not used, the ground itself shall be designed as anti-slip

ground.

(2) Service facilities

① Rest room

The waiting hall is provided with one rest room at present, which can be used by 4 person at the same

time, include 2 males and 2 females. In the environment impact assessment, it is suggested to increase the

number of rest room to the condition that 8 persons can be used at the same time, include 3 males and 5

females, to guarantee the usage of passengers.

② Chairs

There are 10 chairs in the waiting hall at present, in the environment impact assessment, it is suggested to increase to 30, to guarantee waiting comfort of passengers.

(3) Suggestion on optimizing of hub layout

① From ticket booking to entering into the waiting zone through the passage, make obvious

identification, add direction indicators, which shall be appeared continuously to form a system

② The design of entrances and exits shall be more remarkable visually, which shall be reflected on

140 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

form and mark, and necessary transfer information shall be arranged at the entrances and exits.

③ Make passengers be easier to confirm the starting point, target point and the location of themselves

in the space through strengthening certain spatial forms (such as adding the main passages getting through

various spaces, and the atrium space acting as the space center), factors (light, color and material quality etc.).

Lead the stream of people through construction manner as much as possible, instead of simply canalization

the stream of people by using handrail and ropes.

④ During transfer process, no matter in plane direction or vertical direction, try to reduce turnings in the

figure and conversion of direction. The vertical traffic directions such as stairs have better to be consistent

with the major transfer direction, and intensive information indicators shall be arranged near the vertical

traffic at the exits nearest to the traffic station.

⑤ Enhance infrastructure construction and information service system construction

Provide comfortable waiting space (shelter from wind and rain, bright and enough chairs); the stair

width of transfer passage, anti-slip measures, and numbers of escalator shall match with the stream of people,

besides, the arrangement of infrastructures such air conditioning and rest room in the transfer hall shall be

taken into account.

⑥ Aiming at the passengers, information service systems are required to be established, including

running route guidance service, travel information service, driver information service etc. Provide the road

information, public traffic information, transfer information, traffic weather information, parking lot

information and other information related to travel. Reasonably arrange telephone, electronic screen and

network based on WEB etc.

⑦ In environment impact assessment, the dispatching room and monitoring guardhouse layout is

adjusted from floor 1 to floor 2, to guarantee the demands of residents in floor 1 to waiting chairs and rest

room.

4.5.4 Comparison suggestion of plane layout of first and last station

Floor plan of floor 1 of first and last station is shown in Figure 4.5-3.

(1) Plane layout of first and last station In feasibility status design, arrange the waiting hall, driver and conductor lounge, dispatching room, IC card recharging room, duty room, rest room and motor repair shop in floor 1. In feasibility design, in order to

141 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

guarantee the comfort of passengers when getting in and out, separate entrance and exit has been arranged for motor repair shop and small hangar, which do not walk the same channel with the passengers in the waiting hall, to avoid crowding phenomena caused by sharing the same entrance and exit with passengers.

(2) Suggestions of environment impact assessment on plane layout of floor 1 of first and last station

① For the first and last station with small areas: the indoor area is not large, it is suggested to change the layout of dispatching room from ground floor 1 to ground floor 2 in the environment impact assessment.

② On ground floor 1, increase the chairs in the waiting zone from 6 currently to 12, and the rest rooms shall be increased from using by 2 persons to using by 4 persons at the same time.

③ It is required to add public traffic information service system.

4.5.5 Bus antiskid comparison

(I) Antiskid comparison in bus

(1) If spread snow-melting agent in the compartment, the snow-melting agent contains salt, the floor in

the compartment is iron, which is easy to be corroded.

(2) Non-slip mat: in winter, the compartment floor may freeze a thick layer of ice. If laying plastic non-slip mat, the mat may be frozen firmly by the thick layer of ice, then it will lose the anti-slip function completely. For the plastic floor, the non-slip layer may be damaged through using for a long time.

(3) Using abrasive floor in the bus can avoid the impact generated by freezing of non-slip mat.

It is suggested to use abrasive floor in the bus in the environment impact assessment, meanwhile, anti-slip carpet shall be arranged on the steps, which shall be fixed on the vehicle, to prevent passengers from falling down when getting on or off the bus due to carpet slipping.

(II) Antiskid suggestion

(1) The floor, handrail and steps for getting on and off in the bus are required being anti-slip.

(2) In winter, the temperature in the bus shall be guaranteed, when the passengers getting on the bus,

the feet are with snow, when standing on the bus, the snow on feet will be melt, it is cold, the snow water will

be frozen to ice for a short while, so the passengers will be slipping when getting on the bus, although the bus

driver and the related cleaning personnel clears the ice every little while, it still can be frozen, it is suggested

that the heating wind in the bus be provided well, to avoid freezing and slipping after melting of snow, to

improve the comfort in the compartment.

(3) In rainy season, plastic bag shall be prepared in the boarding areas in the bus, to put the wet

umbrella, in order to prevent rainwater from wetting the floor, which may cause floor slippery in the bus.

4.5.6 Boiler comparison

The bus driver training center and first and last station of Hualin of the project use boiler to supply heat, for the boiler type, it is recommended to use briquette coal boiler in the environment impact assessment.

(I) The economic technical analysis comparison is as follows:

(1) Development tendency of small boiler

With the progress of times and development technology, human beings are paid more attention on

144 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

survival environment, for this, the country has also improved the environmental protection standard

continuously, to control the pollutants effectively. GB13271-1991 Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for

Coal-Burning Boilers has been modified in 2001 to meet the demands of times, the pollutant emission must

meet the standard comprehensively. However, the small industrial boilers burning bulk coals in our country is

not easy to meet the standard, thus, it is required to use environment friendly fuel oil, gas, burning coal and

electrically heated boiler. However, the quality coal in our country is less, and the oil and gas resources is

insufficient, and there are considerable gap in power supply, and the electricity price is high, and the operation

costs of fuel oil, gas or electrically heated boiler is high, especially in economical underdeveloped regions, the accepted degree of users is limited, therefore, development of small briquette coal boiler may have better development tendency.

(2) Coal fuel characteristics

The fuel of briquette coal boiler is honeycomb briquette, i.e. after smashing the raw coal, process it into

honeycomb shape through scientific recipe, its components include: raw coal, yellow mud, lime, and coke

powder etc. Where, raw coal is the main components of briquette coal, which accounts for 65%, the low

calorific value is about 25000KJ/kg, yellow mud accounts for 23% to 25%, which plays a role as dust

fixation, lime accounts for 3% to 5%, which plays a role as sulfur fixation, and adding with wastes of other

enterprises – calcium carbide paste, coke powder etc., to fix sulfur further and improve calorific value of

briquette coal. The briquette coal specification after formed is: 100×100×80 or 150×150×80 (mm).

(3) Characteristics of briquette coal boiler

The clean fire coal advocated and promoted by the state includes coal water slurry and briquette coal etc.

The briquette coal boiler is environmental friendly boiler with honeycomb briquette as fuel, which will be the

dominant products of small industrial boiler in 21st century, the thermal indicators and environmental

protection indexes meet the current national standard, which is the best updated products of fire coal small

industrial boiler currently. With continuous improvement on energy conservation and environment protection

requirements of the state, it priority is more prominent.

① High thermal efficiency

Due to the unique combustion mode of briquette coal boiler – coal combustion is from upper part to

145 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

lower part, and the combustion of upper coal may play a role as preheating, drying and ignition to the lower

part coal. The volatile matter of lower coal after thermal composition may reach the upper layer major

combustion zone through the honeycomb hole together with air, so as to make the volatile matter burn fully

on the high temperature oxygen rich condition, in order to make loss of chemical incomplete combustion q3

reduced sharply, meanwhile, as the burning is sufficient, the mechanical incomplete combustion loss q4 will

also be reduced, and tunnel type combustion shall be adopted, the physical thermal loss of lime-ash may also

be reduced sharply, so as to improve the thermal efficiency of boiler greatly. Through field test, the thermal

efficiency of boiler can be up to above 80%, which is more than 10% higher than the national standard, and

the energy conservation effect is obvious.

② Good environment protection effect

During operation process, the briquette coal boiler mainly depends on natural ventilation, its combustion

is continuous combustion, the honeycomb briquette will move horizontally from front to back in the boiler

chamber, the residence time of combustibles in the boiler is long, the combustion is full and thorough, there is

no black smoke eliminated from the boiler, the briquette coal is solid and difficult to fall off, and there is no

forced ventilation in combustion, thus, the smoke concentration in exhaust gas is very low. Honeycomb

briquette is mixed with the desulfurizer such as lime in production process, in high temperature within the

boiler, the desulfurizer may be reacted with sulfur to generate solid substance, which will not discharge into

the air in gas, and the environment protection requirements can be reached without smoke prevention and

dust removal equipment.

③ Economic

Fuel price:

Bulk coal 0.2 Yuan/kg; briquette coal 0.3 Yuan/kg; light oil 2.80 Yuan/kg; coal gas 0.8 Yuan/kg;

electricity 0.45 Yuan/kW h.

In conclusion, although the operation cost of the boiler burning bulk coal is low, but it does not meet the environment protection requirements; although the fuel, gas boiler is with good environment effect, but the

operation costs is high, the users are difficult to bear; electrically heated boiler is with extreme good

environment protection function, and almost generate no pollution, but the operation cost is too high, the

146 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

bearing capacity of users is limited, and the aging rate is fast; however, the burning briquette coal boiler is

energy conservation and economic, which is also provided with good environment protection performance,

thus, it is feasible to adopt briquette coal boiler in management facilities.

(II) The analysis of similar project with same scale is as follows

At present, there are many service facilities with similar scale of bus driver training center and first and last station of Hualin, such as service area and toll station of highway, they also use 1t, 2t, 4t briquette coal boiler, and the operation effect is better than other types of boilers.

(III) Water source heat pump

Water source heat pump is the air conditioning technology using the solar energy resources reserved by earth water as the cold source and heat source, to perform conversion. Water source heat pump can be divided into ground source heat pump and water loop heat pump. Ground source heat pump includes groundwater heat pump, surface water (river, watercourse, lake and sea) heat pump. There is no surface water near the first and last station of Hualin and bus driver training center, only the groundwater heat pump can be taken into account.

When using the water source heat pump, the principle requirements for the water source system are: sufficient water amount, moderate water temperature, suitable water quality and stable water supply.

Specifically speaking, the water amount of the water source shall be sufficient, which can meet the demands of heating load and cooling load of users.

But the actual condition is that the groundwater of the project area of first and last station of Hualin and bus driver training center is poor, the water amount is insufficient, the heating capacity and cooling capacity of the unit will be reduced with it, which cannot reach the users requirements. Therefore, the scheme of application of water source heat pump shall be excluded.

4.5.7 Comparison suggestion of public traffic waiting warm room

For the upper part of closed wall of facing direction of roadside bus station waiting hall warm room and the facing surface of outside waiting shed of warm room, it is suggested to adopt double-layer laminated glass.

(1) The facing surface of outside waiting shed of warm room shall adopt double-layer laminated glass

147 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

wall, which can prevent wind.

(2) The double-layer laminated glass not only can guarantee that the passengers can see the approaching direction of bus, but also can avoid the condition that the sight is blocked due to the single glass is frost due to the cold weather in winter.

5 Environmental Impact Prediction in Construction

This project will be constructed by stages and sections. The construction places are scattered everywhere,

involving lots of aspects. Due to that the construction of urban road, public traffic hub, first and last station

and warranty factory will occupy the land and vegetation of construction site surely, the local ecological

environment will be damaged, and the excavation and filing quantity during the construction is large, the

incurred construction noise, ground dust spoil and waste slag will have certain impact on surrounding

environment, it is proposed to evaluate through the analogy investigation method, and propose the prevention

measures. Effective measures shall be taken to reduce the harmful effect during the construction.

5.1 Social Environmental Impact Analysis in Construction

(1) It is estimated that the constructor of this project is about 100, and thus part of the local surplus

labor can be employed, solving the employment of part of the local residents.

(2) Cultural relics and sensitive area analysis

The line and corridor of this project does not involve the cultural relic, site, landscape and famous

scenery, natural conservation area and other sensitive area. During the construction of road, in case any

cultural relics and historic sites are found, it is ok to contact with cultural relic department to take the avoiding

measures or conduct the protective excavation, without impacts on the local cultural relics.

(3) Impacts on the infrastructure

The infrastructure that may be influenced by this construction of this project is less, 1209 lamp poles will be removed, 6248m pipeline will be built newly, and 3946 tube well will be moved, and there are no transformer found required to be removed at the feasibility study stage. It is required to conduct the preparatory work of spare infrastructure during the construction, reasonably arrange the construction time, avoiding using the infrastructure at the rush hour of local resident using the infrastructure. During the reconstruction of road, the removal of lamp post will bring certain impact on the urban infrastructure, in case of improper handling, it will influence local resident’s night going out, causing certain social press.

(4) Impacts on going out and living quality of resident along the line

The occupation of existing road by going in and out of construction vehicle, transportation of

149 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

construction material and other construction activities will cause the traffic obstruct, bring adverse impact to

resident along the line. For the construction conducted near the school, in case of improper construction

management, the traffic safety accident may be caused. It is required to conduct the traffic dispersion during

the construction, so as to prevent influencing the going out of resident.

5.2 Analysis of Impact on the Urban Ecological Landscape in Construction

5.2.1 Analysis of ecological landscape in construction

(1) Analysis of impact on vegetation by construction

The impact on vegetation by construction mainly includes the vegetation removal due to the permanent land occupation and the vegetation occupation within the temporary land occupation area, the vegetation damage within the permanent land occupation will be permanent, with the vegetation deterioration irreversible.

The vegetation within the temporary land occupation will be damaged seriously during the construction, the temporary land occupation of public traffic corridor sub-project are the existing road, without impact on the vegetation, the land occupation of infrastructure subproject is the existing urban vacant lot, and there are no other vegetation except a lit weeds. Therefore the temporary land occupation of this project has little impact on the regional vegetation type and distribution. The ground surface of temporary borrow and spoil ground is exposed, therefore the local ecological structure of the area along the line changes accordingly. The exposed ground surface will cause the water loss and soil erosion of local area after the being washed by rainy water, reducing the fertility of soil and influencing the stability of local terrestrial ecological system.

The part of the public traffic corridor sub-project revolves the transformation during construction, the a

few greening trees will be cut down, the sub-project will conduct the greening design for this road section

after the completion of construction, and the urban ecological environment will be restore along with the

implementation of greening work.

(2) Water loss and soil erosion in the construction

During the construction, due to the exposed soil, the washout of surface runoff may cause some water

loss and soil erosion, influencing the surrounding water environment. In the planning, design and construction,

it is required to always take protecting the regional ecological environment as the objectives, making the road

150 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

far away the greening, green the road, green the architectural layout, and increase the greening construction, and protect the ecological environment, and take full use of all the greening place by adopting the point, line and plane vertical planting way; the engineering construction shall be conducted according to the planning, increasing the greening area, creating a conformable riding environment and work environment, constructing the project into a natural and comfortable ecological traffic work with pleasant environment.

(3) Analysis of impacts on surrounding environment by the spoil and construction waste

①Due to that the spoil activity will inevitably disturb the surface of soil within land occupied by the spoil area and borrow area, completely damaging the vegetation within the land occupied by the spoil yard and borrow area, but the soil borrowing and spoil activity belongs to the activities of construction period, with features of temporary; it is required to restore the vegetation within the borrow and spoil area after the completion of soil borrowing and spoil, therefore the vegetation in the spoil and borrow area will be restored and compensated along with the planting of vegetation, and the impacts will disappear gradually.

② The exposed excavated face formed due to the improper handling of works spoil and construction garbage as well as the soil borrowing and spoiling and the rickle formed in the spoiling activities will form the potential source of water loss and soil erosion, which will form the water loss and soil erosion in strong wind and heavy rain. But the works spoil and construction waste will be transported to the construction waste refuse landfill for filling intensively; the filling of spoil will not have adverse impacts on the land utilization, in contrast, it will be beneficial for the restoring of local ecological environment.

③ During the construction, the stacking of earthwork and rockwork, sand and stone, cement, clay, other construction material, spoil and waste material will have certain impacts on urban ecological environment.

Especially the poor stacking and protection of spoil, the drainage pipe of road will be blocked easily in case of rain erosion, influencing the traffic and city appearance.

④ The dust generated by the transportation vehicle of spoil and the spilled slag will have dust impacts on the pavement of street passed by and the residents at the two sides of green belt, and will also have certain impacts on the urban environmental hygiene.

In total, in case the spoil and construction waste are not treated properly, they will have certain impacts on the surrounding environment.

151 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

5.2.2 Analysis of impacts on the urban landscape by the works construction

During the construction of this project, the impacts on the surrounding landscape are mainly reflected on the following aspects:

(1) During the construction, it will inevitably influence the various ground and underground pipeline and pipe of urban municipal works, such as drainage pipe, gas pipe, heating pipe line, communication and power line etc., and it is required to remove and transform some pipeline, which will damage the urban road, influencing the urban landscape.

(2) During the construction, the excavation of foundation and the stacking of earthwork, stonework and construction material, especially the temporary stacking of construction spoil and construction waste will influence the urban hygienic condition and urban landscape.

(3) During the construction, the disorder parking of temporary structures and machinery equipment will also have inconsonant factors and impacts on the surrounding landscape.

(4) During the building of hub station and transformation of road and other main works, it is required to set the guardrail, enclosure and other separation measures, and it will bring certain damage to the urban landscape surely.

(5) During the construction of works, the noise, dust, exhaust gas, works waste generated by the construction machinery and temporary shed as well as the construction drainage will pollute the surrounding environment; due to the construction disturbance, the daily routines such as transforming the shops and enterprise and public institution at the two sides of road will be influenced and disturbed, and it will also damage the urban landscape. 5.3 Analysis of Noise Impacts in Construction

(1) Noise source

During the construction of works, the noises are mainly from the construction machinery and

transportation vehicle. The scale of construction of road is large, and various construction machineries and

many transportation vehicles are used in the construction, and these construction activities will bring large

disturbance to the acoustic environment of area along the line. According to the construction features of

rebuilt road of this work (reducing the central dividing strip of part road, lay out the pipeline involved in the road rebuilding), the construction can be divided into three stages, i.e. foundation construction, pavement

152 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

construction, traffic works construction. The main construction technology and construction machinery used

in these three stages are detailed as follows.

① Foundation construction: during the rebuilding process, some part road section revolves foundation excavation, this working procedure is the stage consuming more time, more construction machinery and generating much noise in the rebuilding of road, which is mainly in the construction procedure of excavating

the separator and laying out the pavement, in which the foundation treatment, roadbed leveling, excavation of

earthwork, compaction of road by layers and other construction technology are included, and there are many

vehicle transportation vehicle going in and out the construction site at this stage. The diesel pile driver, boring

machinery, vacuum pressure pump and concrete batch plant etc. will be used in the treatment of foundation.

The bulldozer, road roller, grader and reloading machine etc. will be used in the filling of roadbed. These

sudden noises will have certain impacts on the surrounding acoustic environment. During the transportation

of construction material, the transportation road will inevitably select the existing road nearby the sensitive

points, but the noise level of mechanical equipment used in the construction is very high, if not controlled,

they will have large impacts on the surrounding residential areas, schools, hospitals and environment sensitive

points.

② Pavement construction: this working procedure will be conducted after the completion of roadbed

construction, the main work is to pave asphalt, and the large-scale asphalt paver will be used, according to

noise monitoring on the highway conducted domestically, the noise at this stage is rather smaller than that of

the roadbed construction, and the sensitive points 50m far away the road is smaller.

③ Traffic works construction: the traffic communication facilities will be installed in this procedure,

perfect the signs and mark line, there is no large-scale construction machinery will be used in this stage,

therefore the noise impact is very small.

According to the investigation, the sound pressure level of mechanical equipment used in the road

construction in domestic land at present are detailed in table 5.3-1, and the noise test value of asphalt concrete mixing station is detailed in table 5.3-2.

Note: The above data are tested when the construction machinery runs with full load.

The road construction is different from the general construction, and the features of noises generated are

154 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

as follows:

① Various construction machinery, different construction machinery are used at different construction

site, and the quantity of construction machinery used in same construction stage is different, which

makes the noise of road construction has the feature of contingency.

② The feature of noise source of different equipment is different, wherein the noise of some equipment

is the vibrating type, burst type and impulse type, which has great impact on human body, some

equipment’s frequency (such as mixer) is low, which will not attenuate easily, and make people feel

agitated. The noise of construction machinery is larger, buy there are large difference between their

sound level, and the running noise of some equipment is more than 90dB.

③ The source of construction noise is different from the general fixed noise source, i.e. it has fixed

noise source and the flowing noise source. The construction machinery are exposed outdoor, and they

are always moved in the certain range, therefore the noise pollution scope is increased compared with

the fixed noise source, but the source of construction noise is in the local noise pollution scope

compared with the flowing the noise source.

④ Compared with the scope influenced, the noise of construction equipment is rather smaller, therefore

its noise can be deemed as the point acoustic source.

⑤ For specific road section, the pollution of construction noise is only exists for a certain time.

The construction machinery used in works are mostly the flowing sound source, the noise source has certain mobility, discontinuity, wherein the moving scope of transportation vehicle is large, and the bulldozer and excavator etc. has small moving area, with smaller moving scope, its feature of sound source is different from that of the movable vehicle. Therefore, its impacts have obvious time-bound.

Less machinery is used in the laying of pipeline of this project, with short construction period, and the noise impacts are limited. Therefore this evaluation only predicts and analyzes the noise impacts of construction machinery used in the road works.

(2) Prediction and analysis of noise impacts

In consideration of the complexity of construction noise and the regional and stage of construction noise impact, this evaluation only calculate the noise impact scope of different construction equipment according to

155 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

national Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), so as to

ensure that the construction unit can take the proper noise pollution prevention measures by combining with

the actual condition.

The noise source of construction equipment will be calculated accoring to the point source, and its noise prediction mode is:

Ri Li = L0 − 201g − ∆L R0

Wherein: Li and L0 is the noise level of equipment at the place Ri and R0 far from the equipment; ΔL is

the additional attenuation generated by the obstacle, vegetation and air etc.

For many construction machinery, the impacts on the certain predicted position, it is required to add the

sound level:

× L = 101g∑100.1 Li

(3) Calculation and analysis of construction noise impact scope

According to the above prediction method and mode, the prediction result of noise value (doesn’t overlay with the current value) of various construction machinery at different places is show as table 5.3-3, without taking the noise attenuation of wood and buildings.

Table 5.3-3 Noise Predicted Value of Various Construction Machinery at Different Places Unit dB (A) Predicted Value of Noise SN Machinery Type 5m 10m 20m 40m 50m 80m 100m 1 Wheel loader 90 84.0 78.0 72.0 70.0 67.5 65.5 2 Grader 90 84.0 78.0 72.0 70.0 67.5 65.5 3 Vibrating type road roller 86 80.0 74.0 68.0 66.0 63.5 61.5 4 Dual wheel dual vibration road roller 81 75.0 69.0 63.0 61.0 58.5 56.5 5 Three -wheel road roller 81 75.0 69.0 63.0 61.0 58.5 56.5 6 Pneumatic tired roller 76 70.0 64.0 58.0 56.0 53.5 51.5 7 Bulldozer 86 80.0 74.0 68.0 66.0 63.5 61.5 8 Hydraulic excavator 84 78.0 72.0 66.0 64.0 61.5 59.5 9 Paver 87 81.0 75.0 69.0 67.0 64.5 62.5 10 Generator 98 92.0 86.0 80.0 78.0 75.5 73.5 11 Truck 92 86.0 80.0 74.0 72.0 69.5 67.5 12 Concrete mixer 91 85.0 79.0 73.0 71.0 68.5 66.5 13 Concrete pump 85 79.0 73.0 67.0 65.0 62.5 60.5

156 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

Due to that the sound pressure level of construction machinery is rather higher, they will have certain impacts on the construction site and surrounding environment during the construction, and not only the nearby resident will suffered the construction noise with different grade, but also the operator of construction machinery and the constructor will be influenced seriously.

Evaluate according to Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site

(GB12523-2011), the noise source of most main equipment is out of the limit. The environmental noise predicted value within 50m of noise source with the source level of 90dB(A) is out of the limit; in case of construction at night, the environmental noise shall be subject to the night standard value exceeding 55dB(A) within 200m. Therefore it can be seen that the noise of road construction has large environmental impacts on the scope within 50m of construction site, and have certain impacts on the scope of 50m to 100m, especially the construction at night. But the noise is short-lived and temporary, and the construction noise will disappear once the construction activities are completed. People can understand and accept its impacts generally. But the construction unit shall take necessary noise control and management measures, to reduce the impacts on the environment by construction noise, and to protect the normal life and rest of resident along the line.

5.4 Environmental Impacts Analysis of Ambient Atmosphere Air in Construction

(1) Environmental impacts analysis of construction dust

The dust pollution is mainly generated during the roadbed excavation and filling process at the early stage of construction, mainly the dust caused by the transportation of construction road vehicle; according to investigation of construction road site, the impacts on the surrounding environment by the dust generated during the roadbed excavation and filing, pavement dust caused by the running of vehicle, dust generated by the material mixing and dust at the stacking yard are the most prominent, with the main pollution factor of

TSP.

① Dust generated during roadbed excavation and filing

According to the construction experience of road construction, the roadbed excavation and filling work at the foundation c construction stage will last for half a year. During the excavation of removing of existing road, fine dust will be generated, the permanent land occupation and borrow area and spoil yard of this project will make the topsoil loosen and exposed during the excavation and filling of construction machinery,

157 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

thus the moisture will evaporate, forming the dry and soft grain, making the earth’s surface loosen, and then

the fine dust will be generated when the wind is strong. Some part of the fine dust float in the air, and the

other part will fall on the nearby ground and building surface with the wind. The influence time of dust will

last more than 30 minutes, and the influence time of the M10 which is the main factor of the urban

environment air pollution will be longer. There are many sensitive points within 200m scope along the line of

this project, in case no effective dustfall measures are taken, the dust during the roadbed excavation and

filling will have certain impacts on the residents along the line; according to the experience of domestic road

construction and environment impacts evaluation, watering can effectively reduce the dust pollution, reducing

about 30% of the quantity of dust. Therefore it is suggested to water intensively to reduce the dust, so as to

effectively reduce the impacts on the surrounding environment by the roadbed construction.

② Road dust

The raw and auxiliary construction material of this project will be purchased nearby in principle, in case of improper protection during the transportation, the dust will be generated, influencing the ambient air quality of road and the two sides of road. The dust caused by the running of vehicle can be divided into wind force dust and power dust according to the reason of dusting, wherein the wind force dust is generated due to the dry weather and heavy wind, and the power dust is generated by the external force during the loading and unloading process. According to related document literature, the dust generated by the running of vehicle accounts for 60% of the total dust, the dust can be calculated according to the following empirical formula

under the bone dry condition:

Q = 0.123× (V /5)× (W / 6.8)× 0.85× (P / 0.5)× 0.75

Wherein: Q—— dust generated due to the running of vehicle, kg/km per vehicle;

V——running speed of vehicle, km/h

W——Carload lot, Ton;

P——Dust capacity of road surface, kg/m2

The dust emission of a 10 ton common truck when it runs on the in the road with different road clean-up degree at different running speed is listed in table 5.4-1. Thus it can be seen that the dust emission will be more at the faster speed when the road clean degree is the same; and the dust emission will be more at the same speed when the road accumulated dust is more. Therefore, during the transportation of outsourcing raw

and auxiliary material, commercial soil and excavated earthwork, it is required to run at the limited speed,

keep the road clean, water on the road, so as to effectively reduce the dust generated in the running of vehicle.

③ Tail gas

The exhaust gas discharged by the construction machinery and transportation vehicle with the fuel oil as the power will increase the total amount of pollutant of ambient air of local regional environment; due to that there are no vehicle passing by or a few vehicle passing by the existing road during the construction period, therefore the emission of vehicle exhaust during the construction period is less compared with the current situation, and the impacts on the surrounding ambient air by the vehicle exhaust during the construction is relieved compared with the current situation.

④ Dust at the stacking yard

The type, nature and wind speed of material at the stacking yard has a lot to do with the dust capacity; the material with small specific gravity can be disturbed easily and generate dust, and the dust capacity will be large when the small grain accounts for most in the material. The dust at the stacking yard include the dust of stacking material caused by the wind, dust caused in the loading and unloading as well as the reentrainment of dust of road accumulated dust caused by the vehicle passing by, which will generate the

serious dust pollution, and have certain impact on the surrounding environment, but the dust emission can be

effectively restrained through watering, reducing 70% of the dust emission.

⑤ Dust generated in the mixing of material

The three lags, lime earth and concrete etc. will generate dust in the mixing. According to experience,

the station mixing method are adopted in the road construction at present, i.e., the large-scale mixing station

will be set to mix intensively at all the construction section, thus the impacts on the ambient air by the dust

159 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

will be intensive, and the downwind direction of mixing station will be influenced greatly, but which can be

managed easily, and the dust pollution can be controlled effectively by taking prevention measures (such as

set the mixing in the building).

Due to that the project is in the approval stage at present, the quantity and specific place of mixing

station are not determined, therefore it is impossible to analyze the environmental impact generated in the

mixing of material. According to experience, the mixing station shall be selected at the down wind direction

of sensitive points such as residents area, hospital and school, and it is required to guarantee that there is no

any sensitive points within 200m, and the dust removing equipment shall be provided at the mixing station,

and the impacts on the environment caused by the mixing station will be small.

(2) Asphalt smoke

The whole line of road works of this project will be asphalt concrete pavement, it is required to set the asphalt mixing station and dust mixing station in the construction, and the principal pollutant generated will be asphalt smoke and TSP. There are toxic and harmful substance discharged in the melting, mixing and paving of asphalt, which will cause certain pollution to air and bring harm to human. During the asphalt paving of project, the asphalt smoke will have certain impacts on the residents and units at one side of road along the line. But the paving works is the short-term one-time works, and the temperature reduction of hot

asphalt concrete is fast, therefore the impacts is short-lived, the smoke emission will be over along with the

completion of construction activities.

According to experience, the impacts scope of smoke pollution during the paving of asphalt is small and

has a little impact on the residents along the line, but it has great impacts on the operator, therefore it is

required to take certain protective measures to the operator. 5.5 Analysis of Impacts on Water Environment in Construction

The water pollution source in the construction is mainly the construction waste water, washing sewage

of mechanical equipment, oily wastewater and domestic wastewater of constructor. The impacts on water

body by the transportation and stacking of building material, pollution on the water body by the construction

of bridge deck, and the construction wastewater during the construction of bridge deck, has lots of silt, which

has certain impacts on the water quality of Mudanjiang, most of the construction waste, slag and spoil

generate in the construction will flow into the nearby water body under the normal drainage of project or

160 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

certain heavy rain along with the surface runoff carrying lots of pollution and suspended particles. In addition, the domestic wastewater and pollution factor of constructor is pH, CODCr, BOD5 and SS.

(1) Construction wastewater

The horizontal sedimentation rank is set at the construction site of this project, after the muddy water is

treated through the coagulation sedimentation, and the supematant will be reused to the reduce water on the

construction site.

(2) Washing wastewater of machinery equipment

According to the study of Li Jing of Environmental Science and Engineering School of Chang’an

University, the washing wastewater quantity of general large-scale sand processing system is 3 times of that

of the processing the sand, the principal pollutant of sand wastewater is SS, and the concentration of SS is

related to the mechanical composition of sand, and the mass concentration of washing wastewater can be

more than 500mg/L. According to construction scale and features of this works, the discharge is determined

of 0.8m3/d, and the concentration of principal pollutant is COD300mg/L and SS800mg/L.

Table 5.5-1 Demission Source Strength of Construction Wastewater Total Quantity of Emission Concentration of Source Strength Wastewater Pollutant Types Pollutant of Pollutant Generated COD 300mg/L 2.4kg/d 0.8m3/d SS 800mg/L 6.4kg/d

(3) Oily wastewater 3

The oily wastewater in the construction period is mainly from the repairing and maintenance of construction machinery as well as the leakage, bubbling, dropping and seeping during the work. It mainly consists of lubrication oil, diesel, gasoline and other petroleum type material, once these material enter into water body, they will float on the water, hinder the material exchange on the oil-water interface, reduce the

dissolved oxygen of water body, and influence the vital movement of water living things. Analogy with the

similar engineering statistical data, the quantity generated of oil is about 0.2m3/d, and the concentration of

petroleum type material is about 30-150mg/L. Therefore they can be absorbed with solid-state oil absorption

material, and then be treated after being mixed and sealed.

(4) Domestic wastewater of constructor

161 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

According to estimation, there are about 200 person such as various workers and manager at the traffic

hub and first and last station works at the rush hour; according to the domestic water consumption norm of

construction site and the analogy investigation of constructors’ water consumption, the total quantity of

domestic wastewater generated of this works will be about 1920t/a calculated by taking the 80L/person day,

150 days construction days and 0.8 sewage discharge factor.

The domestic wastewater will be discharged into the municipal pipe, and will be treated at Mudanjiang

sewage treatment plant, which has operated since 2003, with the environmental protection acceptance check

reference number of HHY (2008) No. 55; Mudanjiang sewage treatment plant is located at the 5 kilometer at

the downstream of Mudanjiang Urban Area, is the medium sewage treatment plant adopting the two-stage

biochemical treatment in the high latitudes in our country; the maximum daily processing capacity is about

100,000 ton, the A/O treatment process is adopted, and the water quality of finished water after being treated

will be up to national Level I B, thus about 30000 ton various pollution discharge will be reduced every year.

Component and Concentration of Domestic Wastewater Pollutant of construction Station is detailed in

table 5.5-2.

Table 5.5-2 Component and Concentration of Domestic Wastewater Pollution Emission Condition Ammonia COD BOD5 SS Stage Nitrogen Emission Concentration (mg/l) 300 220 150 35 Discharge (t/a) 2.3 1.69 1.15 0.27 5.6 Analysis of Solid Waste Impact in Construction

The solid wastes generated in the construction of works mainly include domestic garbage and

construction waste generated during the construction. The former is related to the number of constructor, and

the latter is related to the construction process and management level. The impacts on the surrounding

environment firstly is reflected by occupying the land, destroying the landform and vegetation. Then it is

reflected by soil pollution, and thirdly is polluting the surface water, fourthly is polluting the air, and finally is

influencing the landscape of settlement where the construction team is stationed. The solid waste in the

construction waste is the domestic garbage of constructor, slag excavated and slight construction waste. The

domestic garbage is mainly from the derelicts generated by the site constructor in the life, which is very similar with the urban domestic garbage, mainly consisting of organic component. By taking the total number

162 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

of constructor and site manager of 200 at the rush hour, the domestic garbage quantity per capita of 1.2kg/d, the total amount of domestic garbage is about 240kg/d. The excavated slag will be completely used for backfilling, so as to realize the balance of earthwork and stonework. The construction waste is mainly from the scraped building material and packing of building material in the construction of project, it is estimated that about 1000 ton construction waste will be generated according to 5% construction waste rate. During construction, plenty of silt, slag (including slag of removing the old building), silt excavated at the ground surface and surplus waste material etc. will be generated in the construction at the site; in the reconstruction of public traffic corridor, the lamp-post and tube well shall be removed, and the new pipeline shall be built, see details in Chapter 2. In case such solid construction wastes are not processed properly, they will hinder the traffic and pollute the environment. During the transportation, in case of paying no attention on the clean transportation, the soil will be leaked along the line, polluting the street and road and influencing the city appearance and traffic. In addition to, the random stacking of solid waste will occupy the land, destroy the landform and vegetation, and influence the landscape of settlement where the construction team is stationed.

When the road is across the river, in case the solid waste is stacked randomly in the construction, they may be brought into the river by the rain water, influencing the water quality of river water.

The Mudanjiang has available borrow area and material borrowing area, the exploitation quantity every year is 50000 m3:

District.

Spoil area: the construction waste generated in the construction of this work can be used to pave the village road, sold to the construction company, the rest construction waste which can not be used is less, will be transported to Guojia Gully Construction Waste Landfill.

5.7 Prediction and Analysis of Transitional Scheme and Traffic Environment

According to the traffic capacity of feasibility study report, it can be seen that the V/C of all the road section is less than 1, i.e. that the traffic at all the road section does not exceed the road capacity; the traffic dispersion scheme is made well at the transitional period and the management is strengthened, therefore the construction of project will not bring serious traffic problem to the project area. Therefore main environmental impact of this project at the traffic transitional period is air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution and solid pollution generated to the project area by the running of temporary vehicle, which are less, and this environment evaluation will not discuss it separately.

At the same time, the improvement of public traffic service level will attract more and more traveler to select the public traffic trip mode, and then the trip amount of private car be reduced effectively, relief the pressure of road network of Mudanjiang main urban area in future, improve the service level of road and road crossing, greatly shorten the total vehicle kilometer and running hours on the road network, and then obtain the cost saving benefit and time saving benefit of vehicle transportation as well as the benefit of

166 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

reducing the quantity of public traffic vehicle operated. In addition to, the integrated works of public traffic corridor will greatly improve the traffic condition of road, and then reduce the traffic accident and provide convenience for the trip of residents along the traffic line, obtaining certain social benefit.

6.2 Analysis of Urban Ecological Environment and Ecological Landscape Impact

Urban landscape is the syntheses of natural landscape, construction landscape and cultural landscape; the urban landscape ecological requirements coordinates the relationship between the protecting ecological environment and natural landscape, urban building, urban resource and economic development, so as to make the urban develop orderly, solving the urban ecological disease, and forming the positive circle of urban ecosystem.

During the operational period, after the vegetation and greening is restored, the destroyed vegetation and greening is offset. Improve the greening at the two sides of project road. As the essential part of the road works, the greening works not only plays the role of beatifying the landscape and improving the running safety, but also plays the effective role of restoring the existing vegetation in area timely and prevent the preventing the water loss and soil erosion effectively, and have good effect of reducing the vehicle dust.

After the completion of this project, the greening at the two sides of road will be increased, so as to reduce the pavement, reduce the water loss and soil erosion, reduce the traffic dust and traffic noise, adjust and improve the comprehensive environmental benefit of road microclimate; conduct the building landscape design of the public traffic hub station, warranty factory and first and last station, and reasonably deploy the greening and urban landscape to realize the purpose of relieving the passenger’s torment and sleepy, so as to improve the landscape environment along the line, beautifying the urban appearance.

(1) People always feel the appearance of city through the urban appearance, and the urban appearance is reflected by the urban road and public utilities greatly. This project involves the urban main road, secondary road, public traffic hub station, warranty factory and first and last station etc., therefore the greening of the surrounding area and internal part of the above mentioned facilities will not only beautify the urban appearance, and but also realize the action of reducing the oppression sense brought to person by the building.

In the view of colour, blue sky and green trees are the calm colour, which can calm people down.

(2) Vegetation is the one of the key element of creating the urban beautiful space, which utilizes the its

167 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

line, morphology colour, seasonal change and other aesthetic factor form the full-bodied features with

different tree types, viewing period and configuration type, and form the colourful street landscape by

coordinating with the street lamp, flower terrace and garbage bin etc.

(3) The greenbelt of road can intersperse the urban, and foil the next street’s architectural art; and meet

the high-rose flat residents’ demands on greenbelt along the street.

In a world, after the completion of this project, the reasonable configuration of greenbelt will increase

the sense of beauty of urban, beautify the urban appearance, and make people feel comfortable at the same

time.

6.3 Predication and Evaluation of Ambient Air Impact

6.3.1 Predication and Evaluation of Ambient Air Impact of Public Traffic Corridor Project of Mudanjiang

During road operation period, ambient air impact is mainly the impact of vehicle exhaust to ambient air.

After completion of project, motor vehicle exhaust will have certain influence to air environment band along

the road with the increase of traffic volume. Vehicle exhaust pollution source can be stimulated as a linear

pollution source that emits continuously. The size of quantity of pollutant discharged is closely related with

that of traffic volume, meanwhile, it also depends on vehicle type and conditions of running vehicles.

Main ambient air pollutants produced during operation period of the project are mainly CO, NO2 and hydrocarbon compounds in vehicle exhausts. The current ambient air quality of elevation area is good, after completion of project, with the increase of traffic volume, air pollution load of this area is bound to increase, and the pollution trend will be increased year by year with the increase of traffic volume. Therefore, to alleviate pollution increase trend, necessary pollution prevention measures shall be taken to reduce the harm to ambient air.

Source intensity calculation formula:

3 QL = ∑ Si gi / 3600 i=1

Wherein: QL—source intensity of pollutant discharge: mg/m·s;

168 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

Si—predicated annual hourly volume of i type vehicle, set/h;

gi—predicated annual single vehicle emission factor of i type vehicle under constant speed condition, mg/set m.

Table 6.3-1 Recommended Values for Emission Factor of Single Vehicle Eij g/km. set Average Vehicle Speed (km/h) 50 60 70 80 90 100 CO 31.34 23.68 17.9 14.76 10.24 7.72 Small Vehicle NO 8.14 6.7 6.06 5.3 4.66 4.02 THC 1.77 2.37 2.96 3.71 3.85 3.99 CO 30.18 26.19 24.76 25.47 28.55 34.78 Medium-sized NO 15.21 12.42 11.02 10.1 9.42 9.1 Vehicle THC 5.4 6.3 7.2 8.3 8.8 9.3 CO 5.25 4.48 4.1 4.01 4.23 4.77 Large Vehicle NO 2.08 1.79 1.58 1.45 1.38 1.35 THC 10.44 10.48 11.1 14.71 15.64 18.38

Hence, the source intensities of different pollutants during project operation period can be calculated in

accordance with predicated traffic volume of the project and vehicle composition, source intensities of main

pollution factors are shown in Table 6.3-2.

Table 6.3-2 Calculation of Source Intensity of Motor Vehicle Exhaust Unit: mg/s.m

Road NO2 1.24 1.32 1.42 CO 2.86 3.12 3.33 Taiping Road NO2 0.95 1.03 1.10

After completion of project, pollutant discharge will increase with the increase of traffic volume. As seen

from the table, discharge of main pollutants of the project in recent period are CO4556 t/a, NO21514 t/a;

169 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

discharge of main pollutants in middle of project are CO4898 t/a, NO21600 t/a; discharge of main pollutants

in far further of project are CO5228t/a, NO21730t/a. While, when analysis from the whole regional

environment of Mudanjiang, since the proposed project has greatly improved traffic congestion, with the

increase of vehicle speed, total amount of discharge of pollutants in vehicle exhaust will certainly be reduced,

and will change the distribution of vehicle discharge in urban area. With the increase of vehicle exhaust

pollutants along the proposed project, vehicle pollution of other roads will be reduced due to project shunting.

And the vehicle exhaust can be relieved by strengthening of vehicle design, development of manufacturing

technology and constant using of clean energy. In general, the impact of vehicle exhaust to quality of ambient

air along road during operation period is relatively small, and can be accepted by external environment.

In accordance with air environment status monitoring, main pollutant of vehicle exhaust NO2 in each

monitoring point can reach the standard. Compared with “present status”, the pavement of “project implementation” is better, and the traffic

volume is reduced, both raise dust and NO2 discharged by vehicles on each public traffic corridor will reduce.

emission conforms to Emission standard of Air Pollutants for Boilers. The project only has to guarantee the

normal operation of environmental protection facilities, reduce or avoid the happening of abnormal working

conditions as far as possible, so as to ensure small impact to atmospheric environment.

(3) Mess hall lampblack

Warranty shop in this project is built with mess hall, the air pollution source is the high temperature exhaust gas when cooking stove in the kitchen is working, oiliness, organic matter and heating decompose or

split products are the main pollutants. The project has proposed to adopt small cooking stove, natural gas or

electrical energy shall be used as energy to the greatest extent, and the kitchen shall be installed with

lampblack cleaner, so as to reduce the lampblack concentration of kitchen lampblack and exhaust gas to be

discharged less than 2mg/m3, then the lampblack and exhaust gas shall through exhaust pipe system that

stretches to the roof, then discharged empty after purified by lampblack cleaner, then the lampblack and

exhaust gas shall have very small impact, and the impact of which to environment can be accepted.

6.4 Predication and Evaluation of Acoustic Environmental Impact

6.4.1 Analysis of Impact of Noise Produced When Reconstructing Road

Noise during operation period of the project mainly includes infrastructure and public traffic travel noise, staff living noise, urban road traffic noise, and social activity noise of existing stores.

Table 6.4-1 Average Sound Level of Main Noise Source in Project Area Name Average Sound Level [dB] Remarks Starting and Traveling of 70 / vehicle Shop 55-70 Mainly social activity noise

The impact to external environment during operation period is mainly the impact to acoustic

environment sensitive point along the road, i.e. the impact to residential areas, school, hospital, etc. along the

road. Traffic noises are produced by all kinds of vehicles, motor vehicle noise is the comprehensive noise

source contains various noises, including engine, exhaust noise, vehicle body vibration noise, drive

mechanism noise and brake noise, etc. Among the noises above, engine noise is the main pollution source.

Magnitude of traffic noise not only relates to vehicle speed, but also relates to lots of factors such as traffic

volume, type of motor vehicle, road structure and road surface covering, etc.

(I) Subprojects of this type include:

① Public traffic corridor of Xisantiao Road (Diming Street ~ Xinglong Street), ② public traffic

corridor of Dongsitiao Road (Diming Street ~ Bamian Street), ③ public traffic corridor of Guanghua Street

(Xisantiao Road ~ Hulu Street), ④ public traffic corridor of Ping’an Street (Xishiyitiao Road ~ Zaozhi

Road), ⑤ public traffic corridor of Xin’an Street (Xishiyitiao Road ~ Dongba Road section), ⑥ slow correidor system of Taiping Road and slow system of central area (Guanghua Street ~ Binjiang Park +13 minor roads).

(II) Construction contents of the project are: road section adjustment, footpath and motor vehicle lane reconstruction, roadbed, pavement reconstruction, bridge floor overlay, traffic engineering construction, median construction, road interaction transformation, reconstruction of auxiliary lamp pole, pipeline, greening, etc.

(III) Reconstruction of ambient noise value during road operation period can be completed through two channels:

180 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

(1) Channel I: ambient noise prediction:

Pollution sources of current noise in road reconstruction area are complex (residents living noise, shop noise, traffic noise and aircraft noise), if ambient noise predication is to be conducted, 2 schemes shall be provided:

Scheme I: collect the project scale and project quantity that relate to shop noise within noise rating scope

of project area, traffic noise and aircraft noise, and superimpose them with residents living noise;

Scheme II: Only collects the project scale and project quantity relate to traffic noise and aircraft noise,

but it requires to monitor the superposition noise of current status of residents living noise and shop noise, for

the aircraft flight and traffic flow on existing road exist all the time, the postulated conditions for conducting the monitoring is infeasible.

For the two schemes above, workload of prediction of scheme I is large, and the prediction difficulty is

great; scheme II is infeasible.

(2) Channel II: analogy analysis.

For the project is reconstructed on present basis, it is not a simple linear engineering, when completed,

compared to condition before construction, changes to factors that impact ambient noise are: roadbed,

pavement and bridge floor have been optimized; traffic volume in project area during operation period has

reduced; vehicle speed in road network increased (bus speed on bus lane in project area has increased, speed

of private car has reduced, overall network speed has been increased); change of traffic flow after setting

bus lane (location of first and last station of public traffic in the middle or road or on roadside has influenced

the location of transverse distribution of buses and privates cars on the whole pavement, the change has

relatively small influence to the noise value during operation period).

Ambient noise value of road reconstructed during operation period can be estimated through analogy of

traffic noise condition of current road, consider the influence of roadbed, pavement, bridge floor optimization,

change of traffic volume during operation period and change of vehicle speed to analog the ambient noise

after road reconstruction.

In conclusion, the report has conducted analogy analysis for project of this type.

(4) Analysis of water environment impact during operation period

During operation period of project, sewage discharged by newly-built public traffic hub, first and last station and warranty shop mainly comes from oily wastewater, produced during vehicle maintenance, vehicle washing wastewater and staff domestic sewage, the water quality is relatively simple, the sewage will finally enter into municipal wastewater treatment plant through urban sewage pipe network after treatment, and will have no impact on peripheral surface water.

6.5.3 Analysis of water environment impact during road operation period

After completion of the project, the wastewater of operation period is mainly rainwater, main pollution factors of rainwater are SS and COD. The size of concentration of pollutants in road surface rainwater will

189 Environment Impact Report of World Bank Loan Mudanjinang Cold Weather Smart Public TransportationSystem Project

through a change process from large to small, concentration of pollutants will reach the maximum within 0~

15 minutes, then it will reduce gradually, and remain stable an hour after precipitation.

For the concentration of water pollutant in rainwater is low, and it will cause impact at the early stage of rainfall. Meanwhile, the urban sewerage and drainage system along the road of the project will be improved with the project construction, so the road rainwater will not bring obvious impact to water environment along the project after completion of project.

6.5.4 Conclusion of Water Environment Impact Analysis

(1) The impact to surface water during construction period is temporary, but it is required to strengthen the management and environmental monitoring, and implement in strict accordance with the requirement of treatment measure, so as to reduce impact to road surface water to the lowest limit.

(2) Although the road runoff has certain influence to water quality of river, but the impact time is short, and will not cause undesirable impact to water quality, the impact is mainly concentrate within the early 15 min. Domestic water produced by staff in newly-built public traffic hub, first and last station of public traffic, parking lot and vehicle warranty shop will be discharged into urban sewage treatment plant through sewage pipe network.

In conclusion, when all environmental protection policies and measures put forward in the report are taken, pollutants discharged during construction period and operation period can be accepted by surface water environment, when seen from the aspect of surface water environment, the constriction is feasible.
