1 I INTRODUCTION

A. Overview

1 In September 2012, ADB approved the Integrated Development of Key Townships in Central Liaoning (the Project) with a loan of $150 million. The Project Agreement and Loan Agreement were signed in January 2013 and the loan became effective in March 2013. The loan has a 26-year term, including a 5-year grace period. The Project includes 4 components, a) wastewater management improvements; b) (Sihe town) district heating network; c) environmentally sustainable urban infrastructure development; and d) capacity development and institutional strengthening.

2 The Shenbei Wastewater Management Improvements and Urban Roads Subproject is part of the Project. The Shenbei Subproject originally included the construction and rehabilitation of roads (and associated facilities) in Qingshuitai and Xinlongtai townships, and the construction of a 10,000 m3 per day wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Qingshuitai Township. Two contracts, municipal maintenance equipment (SD-E01) and the civil works contract SD-C05, in the original component, have been kept, and some of the civil works initially to be funded under the Subproject in Xinglongtai and Qingshuitai townships have been completed already with local funds. To utilize the remaining ADB loan originally allocated, the IA requests ADB to use the loan allocation to rehabilitate roads in Xinchengzi town and expand this town’s wastewater treatment capacity by 25,000 m3 per day by expanding the existing WWTP with improvement of the sewage collection system. The total investment of the new Subproject is CNY265 million, including the remaining ADB loans of $26.4775 million (CNY17,184.38 million), and the rest of the investment will use counterpart funds.

3 The Integrated Development of Key Townshiops in Central Liaoning (the Project) was classified as category A and a consolidated environment impact assessment (CEIA) for the Project was completed and uploaded in the ADB website in 2012. According to both domestic requirements of the EIA preparation and the ADB’s environment assessment standards, The Shenbei Urban Road and Wastewater Management Subproject was classified as Category B, as shown in Appendix I. On February 20, 2017, the IEE report of this project was approved, as shown in Appendix II. This IEE Report is consistent with the approved environment report and is also valid as per domestic requirements.

68 The survey results of surface water are show that the number for total phosphorus in each monitoring section of Chang River exceeds the requirement of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB3838-2002) – Grade V, and the maximum value was more than 1.08 times of the standard. The number for NH3-N in downstream of the WWTP wastewater outfall exceeded the standard as well and the maximum value is more than 3.75 times of the standard. The main reason for the excessive water quality is the continuous development of the economy and the increasing amount of wastewater. The number for NH3-N, TN and TP were 9.6 mg / m3, 33.7 mg / m3 and 1.59 mg / m3, respectively. The effluent water quality will meet the requirements after the implementation of phase II WWTP project. This will improve the quality of the Chang River.

69 Ground Water Quality.

70 It should be noted that the parameters of manganese and iron exceed the value specified in the underground water quality standard (GB14848-93), classs III. The maximum iron value exceeds 4.4 times of the standard; while manganese 33.7 times. The small and taste exceeds the standard, and the turbidity exceeds the standard. The reasons of manganese and iron exceeding the standards are the geological conditions. The reasons of smell and taste and turbidity exceeding the standards are that water supply system are constructed for quite long time, over the whole area of the Xinchengzi area, and the water wells have been given up and useless for a long time. Agriculture pollution may be another factor.

71 Soil: Sampling monitoring was carried out in the WWTP area (No. S1), as shown in Figure III - 2. The monitoring results on May 15, 2016 are shown in Table III-9.

IV ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Positive Impacts and Environmental Benefits

80 Direct Positive Impacts. The project will significantly improve the infrastructure of the Xinchengzi district, and improve the traffic function of the road network. Improved road networks will reduce traffic congestion, and improve road safety conditions for both vehicles and pedestrians. They will also reduce certain air emissions. After the operation of wastewater water treatment project, domestic wastewater and industrial wastewater will be more concentrated and effective treatment, and improve the environmental quality of local surface water. It also promotes the improvement of ecological environment in Xinchengzi district of Shenbei New District and protects the public health.

81 Beneficiaries. Shenbei project will improve traffic and travel for more than 40 thousand people of Xinchengzi district by constructing roads, pipe networks, and waste water treatment plant. The construction of WWTP will promote the development of the local economic environment, and directly or indirectly raise the living standard of more than 0.3 million people in Shenbei New district.

82 Climate Change. The Shenbei road project will reduce traffic jams and save fuel, decrease reduce greenhouse gas emissions and marginally improve the region’s resilience to climate change effects.

83 Adaptation. The following three principles regarding the adaptation to future climate change effects should apply to the planning and design of Shenbei road and waste water projects: a) a long term perspective(building climate resilient infrastructure); b) requirements for fixing and adapting what already exists(maintenance); c) recognition of the need to respond to climate emergencies(a “preparedness” approach). The approaches are also in line with the ADB’s CCF Implementation Guidelines’ specific criteria and scope for adaptation3 which, for transport and urban development, requires “Climate proofing of road, rail, port, and subway projects to ensure adequate resilience to changing climatic conditions (e.g., future extreme events, changes in rainfall patters, and changes in drainage patterns)”. The design includes measures for disaster resilience from extreme weather events (flood proofing, snowdrift protection) through application of higher water flood dikes; the bridge/culverts and drainage structures will be designed based on 1:100 yr flood (exceeding required standard); and an increased connectivity for disaster response will be considered through construction of efficient and alternative routes for both emergency vehicles and evacuating route. These adaptation measures have been incorporated into the EMP.

84 Mitigation. The appropriate designs of road and bridge pavement upgrading (surface quality, curve radii) will reduce GHG (mainly CO2) emissions through fuel savings. Solar lamps will be used along the Haiwang street will reduce use of electricity from the grid. Moreover, pumps and ID fans and blowers with high energy efficiency have been selected for the subproject. These mitigation measures have been incorporated into the EMP.

B. Impacts Associated with Project Location, Planning, and Design

85 Loss of Land. The project will occupy collective land with the area of 16.95 mu in Xinchengbao three village. In total, permanent land acquisition will affect 4 households and 13 persons of Xinchengbao three villages. Four (4) affected households will lose 100% of

66 环境影响评价 the land (the land is contracted land in the village). The village committee will provide land and choose resettlement place for 3 months in advance, so that they shall continue to plant flowers. The total resettlement cost is approximately CNY4.97 million. A resettlement plan was prepared and will be implemented in accordance with the applicable national laws and ADB SPS. The impacts of the project are summarized in Table IV-1.

86 Loss of Physical Cultural Resources. There is no loss of physical culture resources.

C. Environmental Management Measures during the Pre-Construction Phase

87 All the pre-construction environmental management measures are detailed in Chapter VI Environmental Management Plan.

D. Impacts and Mitigation Measures during the Construction Phase

88 Dust. The dust producing processes are excavation, backfill, leveling, open stacking, loading and unloading processes, such as drought, and the construction dust will be more serious during no rain season together with strong winds. According to the survey, the dust of construction site is mainly driven by the transport of vehicles, accounting for about 60% of the total dust, and is related to the conditions of the road pavements and driving speeds of vehicles. In general, natural wind affected dust for the construction site and the construction road is within 100 m. Dust will be reduced by about 70% when the road surfaces have been sprinkled water 2 times a day. The experimental results show that the dusting distance of TSP shall be reduced within the area of 20 ~ 50 m by sprinkling water 4

67 环境影响评价 to 5 times a day. Building materials piled up in the open area will also cause construction dust, and the dust is affected by the wind speed during the construction period. Open storage of building materials will also produce dust, and the main feature of the dust is affected by the wind speed during the construction period. Therefore, to avoid construction in gale weather and to reduce the open storage of building materials is an effective means of suppressing such dust. In addition, the amount of dust in the road will be increased as the increases of driving speeds of the vehicles. Therefore, in the construction site, the maximum driving speeds of construction vehicles shall be given. On the one hand, it is to reduce the amount of dust to be generated; on the other hand, it is also to consider the construction safety.

89 Road and pipe network construction site is located in a built-up area with streets in Xinchengzi. There are apartment buildings and schools in the near-by area. When the vehicle passes through the areas, the dust will form a pollution zone. But the impact of construction dust is small with short time period. It will end with the end of the construction. To control the dust pollution, ambient air protection measures during the construction period are as follows: The loose and dry surface soils in the construction site should always be sprinkled against dust. Backfill earth, the surface dry soil should be sprinkled to prevent dust flying. The enclosed walls with a height of 2.5m and length of 1200m shall be temporary constructed at the construction site. The construction area should be solid and smooth, and should be sprinkled at least 2 times a day to ensure that no floating soil. The scattered soil outside of the construction area should be cleaned in time to keep the cleanness outside of construction area. Building materials should be stacked in accordance with the construction of the general plan to delineate the area. The protection measures of clay, sand and stone should be taken such as retaining walls, sprinkling, covering and so on. The cement and other materials should be stored in the warehouse or enclosed containers. The protection measures to prevent dust should be taken during the construction of foundations. Construction waste and garbage shall be stored in a closed garbage station and be timely cleared. It is strictly forbidden to burn waste, asphalt, linoleum, paint and other substances. The project should use commercial concrete, and the mixing of concrete is prohibited at the construction site. Cement and lime shall be stored in a sealed container. The Contractor shall be responsible for controlling and inspecting the bulk material transported by the transporters. Vehicles shall be covered to transport sand, lime, engineering soil, dregs, mud and other bulk materials. The construction area shall be promptly cleaned, flattened, and revegetated/reclaimed, as appropriate, at the end of the construction. The construction vehicles in the construction area shall be within effective life period and be well organized. High quality fuels shall be used to reduce harmful emissions from the construction machinery and vehicles.

90 Noise. The construction noise is with a property of staging, temporary and non-fixed. The mechanical noise will cause various degrees of impacts on the surrounding environment during the construction period. In accordance with the relevant standards in Emission standard of environment noise for boundary of construction site (GB 12523-2011), the noises in the areas outside a distance of 60m away from the construction machineries shall meet the noise requirements of the noise sources at daytime. The construction equipment will be used for a short time and be managed to be used in the daytime to significantly to reduce the impacts on the production and life of local residents along the roads. In general, the effect of noise during the construction period is very little. The noise control measures adopted during the construction period include: Before construction, the construction unit must publish a notice in the newspaper or hung uniform specifications of the construction notice signs in the conspicuous place to inform the public people about the construction date and other specific time. The main construction machinery used by the construction unit shall be low noise machinery and equipment, such as the choice of hydraulic machinery to replace fuel machinery and timely maintenance. The operating procedures for all kinds of machinery shall be strictly followed. High noise equipment should

68 环境影响评价 be properly shielded, such as temporary sound insulation, noise and vibration and other comprehensive management. The equipment with high level noise shall be put in a place far away from the boundaries of the construction area as long as the construction equipment does not affect the normal construction processes. As a result, the noise levels on the boundary of construction areas will meet the requirements and do not disturb the near-by residents. The places of the equipment with high noise levels shall be scattered as much as possible, while the construction machineries and equipment installed in some fixed places shall be operated in sheds to greatly reduce the impacts of construction noise to the surrounding environment. A great amount of construction materials will be needed and the number of transport vehicles leading to the construction site will be needed as well. The kinds of traffics may result in acoustic impacts along the transport routes. Thus the routes and travelling time of the construction equipment shall be requested to significantly reduce and avoid the adverse noise impacts. According to the "environmental noise emission standard on boundaries of construction area" (GB12523-2011), the compliance distance of the construction machinery noises: 60m or more at daytime, 335m or more at night. Most of the surrounding residential areas under the project are close to the project site, so construction at night should be avoided, especially for the acoustic environment sensitive receptors located in the Tianmazhuangyuan near to the road (as shown in table 21). The construction machineries to be fixedly installed should be located in areas far from the residential areas. The anti-noise facilities with 2.5m high and 1200m long between the side of the construction boundary and the residential area shall be installed to reduce noise impacts.

91 Soil Disposal and Soil Borrow. The earth works of the project mainly include: pavement excavation, the laying of pipe network, and road backfill. The total amount of construction earthwork is 36780m3. The amount of excavation earth is 34635 m3. The amount of borrow earth is 2145 m3. The project using earthwork is 31797 m3. The amount of disposal soil is 4983 m3. All abandoned earthwork from the bridge demolished will be transported to the Construction Waste Landfill Site. The balance of construction earthwork is shown in Table IV-2.

Table IV-2: Amount of Construction Earthwork Content Excavation Borrow Use Disposal earth earth(m3) earth(m3) earthwork(m3) Renovation of 10663 1500 8163 4000(Waste asphalt is reclaimed Road by qualified units) Bridge 2050 - 1067 983(Construction waste from the Engineering old bridge removed) Water supply 8650 645 8950 engineering Rainwater 13272 13617 Engineering Total 34635 2145 31797 4983

92 In order to reduce impact for transportation of excavated soil and the discharge of domestic waste on the environment, we should take the following measures: The construction unit shall handle the process of spoil discharge according to the regulations. The transportation of construction vehicles should avoid traffic peak of sensitive sites. Transport must be limited to a specified period of time and travel according to the specified road. When transporting soil and waste, the transport vehicle must be loaded with the appropriate amount and covered with cover to avoid dust. Dust wastes should be stacked by septum. Domestic garbage of construction should be segregated from construction wastes, collected and transported to municipal solid waste landfill by health department, and the rest should be uniformly transported to the city landfill by the sanitation sector. The

69 环境影响评价 waste removed of the old bridge should be collected and transported to the designated landfill.

93 Water Quality. A new and small bridge crossing the trench will be built for the project. The length of bridge is 29m, and the width of bridge is 7m. The bridge is made of 8m ordinary reinforced concrete hollow slab bridge with 3 holes. An existing 2 × 9m board girder bridge with the width of 6 m will be demolished. The construction of the lower part of the bridge pier is mainly using bagged geotextile seepage cofferdam caisson construction technology. The construction of the pier foundation will result in SS increase in the part of water region of the construction section. Water pollution caused by construction shall be effectively prevented by using cofferdam or caisson construction techniques. The cofferdam construction will applied for the existing bridge demolition based on the existing comparative data. The amount of SS does not exceed 50mg/L beyond the 100m downstream of the construction site and the water quality beyond the downstream of 100m will not be affected. The pollution will disappear with the end of the construction period. In addition, bored piles shall be constructed using the method of artificial island in shallow water area and using the construction method of double - wall steel cofferdam in deep water area.

94 Bridge construction should be pre-dug the mud pool before drilling. Soil and stone will be brought into the mud pool to carry out the precipitation of soil and stone for mud recycling. Sedimentation tank should be cleaned regularly, and the sediment will be transported to the nearby spoil for centralized stacking and protection. The mud in the construction of the bridge will not cause pollution to farmland and water. However, if the cofferdam collapse and mud leakage will occur during construction. Spillage of materials will pollute the river water quality and affect the downstream water environment.

95 In order to protect the environmental quality of the trench of the river, the construction of bridge should try to choose in the dry season to avoid the pile underwater construction. It uses a circular bored pile construction method in order to make the mud recycling, and reduce mud emissions. Excavated abandoned soil will be transported to the designated site. In order to reduce the pollution of suspended solids, if necessary, we should build a trench in the pile dry land construction site, the construction of SS wastewater to the temporary sedimentation tank after precipitation. SS wastewater from pile foundation construction will lead to temporary sedimentation tank, and discharged after precipitation.

96 During the construction of the bridge, vertebral slope protection shall be made to ensure the stability of the roadbed and the erosion of the flood. Diversion facilities shall be installed and constructed to protect the river bank from scouring.

97 Health and Safety

– Workers. Mention provisions of PPEs, trainings, etc

– Community. Mention provision of information on construction activities and timing; phasing of construction to minimize disruption, particularly to traffic.

E. Impacts and Mitigation Measures during the Operational Phase

98 Noise. After the implementation of the road renovation project, the capacity of the traffic within the scope of implementation of this project has been greatly improved, and the traffic noise will be reduced for improved acoustic. According to the results of monitoring the environmental status of the project implementation area, the monitoring data of each monitoring point meet the requirements of acoustic environmental quality standard. At the same time, the road renovation of the project will improve the capacity of the surrounding

70 环境影响评价 roads, and reduce the impact of traffic noise. This is a positive effect on the acoustic where the project is located. The acoustic within the scope of the project will be improved. Acoustic environmental quality shall meet the requirements of acoustic standards (environmental functional limits).

99 The implementation of WWTP project should choose low noise equipment. It should take measures to reduce vibration for machine base and fan sound abatement. The inner wall of all kinds of room should be sound absorption treatment. Submersible pumps, submersible wastewater pumps, blowers, air compressors, sludge dewatering machines and other major noise equipment are located in the plant, The noise of the factory boundary shall meet the standard of "Industrial and enterprise boundary environmental noise emission standards" (GB 12348-2008) (60 dB (A) at daytime, 50 dB (A) at nighttime). The noise of the west plant boundary shall meet Grade IV (70 dB (A) at daytime and 55 dB (A) at nighttime). Acoustic environment that plus background value shall meet the standard of "Acoustic Environmental Quality” (GB 3096-2008 Grade II and Grade IV). Noise will be monitored as part of the monitoring program during operation. Appropriate measures will be taken, as needed, if case of exceedance. Moreover, all the requirements and measures discussed above shall be combined into the part of the bidding documents, so that the low noise equipment will be selected and the measures to reduce noise levels will be effectively taken.

100 Air. The main structure in the WWTP uses a closed structure. The odor gas shall be collected collectively and emitted in high-altitude after deodorization measures have been taken for purification. The concentrations of H2S, NH3 will be reduced significantly. At the same time, the construction of the green belt in the boundary of WWTP will reduce pollution of malodorous gas. A sanitation protection distance with 200 m away the WWTP will be set up. There are no existing sensitive receptors within the protection area. Facilities and buildings with high environment requirements such as residential buildings, schools, hospitals, ect. shall not be planned and built within the project area. The external environment shall not be aversively by the abnormal odor emissions.

101 Waste water. Wastewater will be transported to the Xinchengzi WWTP through the municipal pipeline network in north of Xinchengzi and drainage network in Chemical Industrial Park, after the implementation of the WWTP project. So the wastewater treatment capacity of Xinchengzi WWTP increased by 25,000t/d, and the total capacity is 50,000 t/d. The wastewater shall be in compliance with the standard of GB 18918-2002 level A. The pollutants discharged into the river will be significantly reduced compared with the present situation. At the same time, the project will set up the foundation for future water reuse. The remaining wastewater will be gradually reduced as the further water reuse. As a result, the Chang River's water quality will be further improved.

102 Solid Waste: Sludge should be transported to Shenyang Wastewater Treatment Plant for sludge treatment. Domestic waste is transported to the designated location for closed storage. Solid waste does not affect the surrounding environment.

F. Alternative Analysis

103 Alternatives analysis for road surfaces, road lines, pipe materials, wastewater treatment processes, and sludge disposal schemes have been developed in the feasibility study report. Moreover, the analysis of the alternatives with project and without project has been developed as well. The benefits with the road project include reductions in vehicle operating costs, and savings in travel time for transport system users, and environmental benefits from fuel savings (fuel cost saved) due to improved road condition. Fuel consumption and CO2 emission from existing traffic volume and future traffic volume are estimated on with-project

71 环境影响评价 and without-project basis. The factors used in estimating vehicle fuel consumption includes: average vehicle speed, traffic volume, and length of proposed roads. The CO2 emission is related to the fuel consumption (CO2 emission will grow with fuel consumption), so the CO2 emission development trend is similar to the fuel consumption in the future.

104 The wastewater management component will help improve the water resources situation, the living conditions of residents and the physical environment of the urban area of Shenbei. Also, it is expected that with the project, the investment environment will improve. Foreign investments could be introduced to promote more rapid development of the urban economy and help support sustainable development. Agricultural water quality will also be improved which will be helpful to promote social and health stability in the area. The wastewater management component is designed optimally to meet the objectives of the Project and covers all possible alternatives including its location, technology, and capacity. The impacts that are associated with improvements in wastewater collection and treatment include: (i) lower ongoing discharge of untreated wastewater to receiving streams, and (ii) reduced frequency of surface water contamination due to combined sewer overflows. Benefits derived from these impacts include: (i) reduced risk of human exposure to waterborne pathogens in surface waters, and (ii) public health and environmental benefits.

D. Results of Public Consultation

110 Legality: The project EIA is compliance with the related requirements of " The Environmental Impact Assessment Law of People's Republic of China ", "Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment Interim Measures (Issue by EPD [2006] No. 28), and " Notification of Strengthen Risk Prevention and Strict Environmental Impact Assessment "( Issue by EPD [2012] No. 98). The way, the steps, the order and the time limit, etc. of public participation implementation were in compliance with the legal process.

111 Effectiveness: The staff involved in the survey should have a high level of technology, a good working attitude, and a scientific approach. The respondents with appropriate cultural and economic are representative. The information release and disclosure of the project has objectivity and authenticity. A reasonable range and form of public participation has been selected, such as newspaper publicity, online announcements, and social surveys.

112 Representative: the residents in the residential communities affected by the project have been selected to conduct an investigation. It is representative.

113 Authenticity: The public participation questionnaires surveyed were completed on the field. Random returning calls have been made and all the people receiving the calls expressed positive attitudes on the project. Very few calls were temporarily not answered. The public participation questionnaires were highly authentic, so the results of the survey were credible.

114 The survey results of the public participation show the views and suggestions of the majority of the residents in the evaluation area. 95% of the respondents support ADB Loan Shenbei project. Construction units should pay attention to the results of this survey and the views of the public. The project will be constructed, operated and managed in accordance with the relevant national design standards and management specifications for water and wastewater pipelines during design, construction and operation period. The project will bring the greatest benefits to the local people by strengthening the construction management and environmental monitoring during the construction period, the strict implementation of environmental management plans, and the establishment of public complaints mechanism. For the inevitable adverse effects in the construction of the project, we should implement the mitigation measures proposed in the EIA report, make a good plan of construction,

78 环境影响评价 inform the public in advance, and assist the relevant departments to improve the adjustment of traffic planning during the construction and operation phases. In addition, we should communicate with the residents and explain to the residents and get their understanding of the temporary adverse effects to ensure that the impact of the project on the environment will be reduced to a minimum. We should combine the construction and environmental protection effectively to ensure that urban development and environmental protection shall be sustained, stable and coordinated development, to achieve unity in economic, social and environmental benefits.

E. Grievance Redress Mechanism

115 A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) was established in Benxi project city in compliance with ADB‘s SPS (2009) requirement to prevent and address community concerns and assist the project to maximize environmental and social benefits. In addition to serving as a platform to resolve grievances, the GRM has been designed to help achieve the following objectives: (i) open channels for effective communication, including the identification of new environmental issues of concern arising from the project; (ii) prevent and mitigate any adverse environmental impacts on communities caused by project implementation and operations; (iii) improve mutual trust and respect and promote productive relationships with local communities; and (iv) build community acceptance of the project.

116 The GRM will be accessible to diverse members of the community, including more vulnerable groups such as women and youth. Multiple points of entry, including face-to-face meetings, written complaints, telephone conversations, or e-mail, will be available. Opportunities for confidentiality and privacy for complainants will be honored where this is seen as important.

117 All of the concerns and suggestions expressed during two rounds of public consultation have been summarized and provided to the design institutes. The relevant concerns and suggestions have been considered in FSR revisions, and appropriate mitigation measures were defined in the domestic EIA, this IEE, and the EMP.

118 The procedure and timeframe for the grievance redress mechanism are described as follows:

 Stage 1: If a concern arises during construction, the affected person will submit a written or oral complaint to the contractor directly (the contractor‘s environment health and safety officer or any onsite construction personnel). Whenever possible, the contractor will resolve the issue directly with the affected person. Otherwise, the contractor will inform the Project Public Compliant Unit (PPCC) accordingly.

 Stage 2: If no appropriate solution can be found, the contractor has the obligation to forward the complaint to the PPCU within five (5) working days. The complainant may also decide to submit a written or oral complaint to the PPCU, either directly or via one of the GRM entry points (SpPMO, IA, community leader, local EBP). For an oral complaint, proper written records must be made. The PPCU will assess the eligibility of the complaint, identify the solution and provide a clear reply for the complainant within five (5) working days. The environment consultants of the

79 环境影响评价

loan implementation consultancy service will assist the PPCU in replying to the affected person. The PPCU will also inform the ADB project team and submit all relevant documents. Meanwhile, the PPCU will timely convey the complaint/grievance and suggested solution to the contractors or operators of facilities. The contractors during construction and the operators during operation will implement the agreed upon redress solution and report the outcome to the PPCU within seven (7) working days.

 Stage 3: In case no solution can be identified by the PPCU, or the complainant is not satisfied with the proposed solution, the PPCU will organize, within two (2) weeks, a multi-stakeholder hearing (meeting) involving all relevant stakeholders (including the complainant, contractor, facility operator, local EPBs, PPMO, SpPMO, IA). The hearing shall identify a solution acceptable to all, and formulate an action plan. The contractors during construction and the operator during operation will implement the agreed-upon redress solution and report the outcome to the PPCU within the agreed upon timeframe.

119 The PPCU shall accept complaints/grievances free of charge. Any cost incurred should be covered by the contingency of the project. The grievance procedures will remain valid throughout the duration of project construction and until project closure.

VI ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Introduction

120 This environmental management plan (EMP) for Shenbei project covers all phases of project implementation from preparation through commissioning and operation of all project, and it aims to ensure the monitoring of environmental impacts and activation of environmental mitigation measures. Relevant parts of the EMP will be incorporated into the construction, operation, and management of Shenbei project.

121 Environmental protection measures will (i) mitigate environmental impacts, (ii) achieve compliance with national environmental regulations and ADB safeguard standards, (iii) provide compensation or offsets for lost environmental resources, and (iv) enhance environmental resources.

122 Environmental monitoring programs will be carried out and the results will be used to evaluate the extent and severity of actual environmental impacts against the predicted impacts and the performance of the environmental protection measures or compliance with related rules and regulations.

B. EMP Implementation Responsibilities

123 The institutional organizations, roles and responsibilities of environment management are summarized in Table VI-1.

Please add this role here. Report to PMO.

124 The provincial project management office (PPMO) - Liaoning Urban Construction and Renewal Project Office (LUCRPO) has the responsibility of co-ordination and overall supervision of Project Implementation. The PPMO will coordinate and assist the implementation of the EMP by the Shenbei Project Management Office.

125 In the design stage, the Project PMO and the implementing agency (IA) will pass the EMP to design institutes to incorporate mitigation measures in the detailed designs. The EMP will then be passed on to construction contractors through the bidding process. To ensure that the contractors comply with the EMP’s provisions, the Project PMO and IA with the help and technical support of the loan implementation environmental consultant (LIEC), will prepare and provide the following specification clauses for incorporation into the bidding procedures: (i) a list of environmental management requirements to be budgeted by the bidders in their proposals; (ii) environmental clauses for contractual terms and conditions; and (iii) major items in domestic environmental impact assessments (EIA), the consolidated EIA (CEIA), and the EMP. The Project PMO will prepare semi-annual environment progress reports, which will be consolidated by the PPMO and submitted to ADB.

82 环境影响评价

126 The IA shall form an environmental management unit (EMU) to coordinate environmental issues associated with project on behalf of the IA. The EMU will take charge of (i) implementing the EMP and developing implementation details; (ii) supervising the implementation of mitigation measures during construction; (iii) the internal monitoring and coordinating the compliance monitoring of construction supervision companies (CSC); (iv) implementing training programs for contractors; (v) incorporating environmental management, monitoring, and mitigation measures into the construction and operation management plans; (vi) reporting on the EMP performance to the Project PMO; and (vii) arranging environmental monitoring reviews and responding to any adverse impact beyond those foreseen in the EIA reports.

127 The Project PMO will nominate staff to act as environmental supervisors/inspectors check the overall implementation of environmental management provisions of the EMP. Their work will coordinate with, and be assisted by, the EMUs of the IA. It will also be supported by the LIEC. Construction contractors and the CSCs contracted by the IA will be responsible for the daily inspection, monitoring, and evaluation of mitigation measures’ implementation. The Project PMO will receive reports of all these activities and pass them on to the provincial PMO.

128 During the operational phase, the environmental protection bureaus (EPB) and the Project PMO will supervise the environmental management and implementation of mitigation measures by the project operators. The cost of mitigation measures in this phase will be borne by the relevant facility operators. Environmental monitoring centers (EMC) contracted and paid for by the IA will ensure compliance with the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) environmental standards and regulations through regular and random environmental effect monitoring and inspection during construction and operation.

129 The Liaoning Provincial Government (LPG) will provide the IA with financial and management autonomy to operate project facilities. Since the IA has limited capacity for environmental management, relevant training has been arranged, which has been summarized in Table VI-8.

C. Role of the Loan Implementation Environmental Consultants

130 The LIEC shall be either a company or individuals, contracted by the PPMO to provide assistance during the pre-construction, construction and initial operational periods. The LIEC should be contracted as soon as possible after loan approval so that the LIEC shall assist in the important pre-construction activities listed in the EMP. The LIEC will advise the PPMO, the Project PMO, the IA and contractors on all aspects of environmental management and monitoring for the project. The LIEC will (i) assist LPG and PPMO to design the project performance management system in terms of environmental management; (ii) assist PPMO and Project PMO to update the EMP and environmental monitoring program; (iii) review the Site Environmental Management and Supervision Manual, the Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan, and the Site Environmental Health and Safety Plan; (iv) review the implementation of the environmental protection measures specified in the EMP; (v) review internal and environmental effect monitoring reports; (vi) prepare the semi-annual environmental monitoring report; (vii) provide training to Project PMO and IA on environmental management implementation and monitoring and assist in the preparation of training materials; (viii) identify any environment-related implementation issues and necessary corrective actions and reflect these in a corrective action plan; and (ix) undertake site visits as required.

D. Role of External Environmental Expert

131 In response to ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), the environment performance of the project will be verified by an external, qualified expert. The external environmental expert (EEE) will be employed by the Borrower using proceeds from the loan. The EEE will (i) verify the internal and environmental effect monitoring information provided by the Borrower; (ii) review the semi-annual environmental monitoring report prepared by Liaoning PMO (LPMO) and the LIEC; (iii) conduct its own investigation by visiting the project sites, taking samples and/or conducting visual inspections; (iv) identify any environment-related implementation issues and EMP compliance issues and necessary corrective actions; and (v) prepare a EMP compliance verification report for ADB and the client.

E. Summary of Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures

132 Table VI-2 summarizes the potential impacts of the Shenbei project during construction and operation as identified by the EIA, as well as corresponding mitigation measures designated to minimize those impacts. The Shenbei IA has prepared environmental management sections in the EIA covering the components within their jurisdiction. These have been integrated into a consolidated EMP and environmental monitoring plan in this chapter covering Shenbei project sectors and settings (see Tables VI-2 and VI-5).

133 The following mitigation measures will be incorporated into tender documents, construction contracts, and site management plans. The effectiveness of these measures will be carefully watched via the environmental monitoring to determine whether to continue them or to make improvements.

F. Environmental Monitoring

1. Monitoring Program

134 The project monitoring program will focus on the environment within the project’s area of influence. A detailed consolidated environmental monitoring program is summarized in Table VI-5 below. The program considers the scope of monitoring, monitoring parameters and frequency.

135 Internal environmental inspection/monitoring. Each contractor will recruit, or assign from its own staff complement, officers for its internal environmental inspection and monitoring during construction; and the IA’ EMUs and facility operators shall be responsible for their internal inspection and monitoring during the operation. The Project PMO’ environmental supervisors and local EPB shall be responsible for advising and supervising the monitoring to ensure that environmental mitigation measures defined in the EMP are properly implemented. At the start of project implementation, the IA’ EMUs, assisted by the LIEC will prepare more detail for internal environmental monitoring programs to be implemented during construction and operation where necessary to facilitate and clarify their application. Similarly the EMUs and LIEC will incorporate any changes which occur through the EMP mechanism of feedback and adjustments into the monitoring program. Internal monitoring and inspection is to be conducted by the contractors (weekly), CSCs and IA (monthly), and reported to the ADB semi-annually.

136 Environmental impact monitoring. Licensed EMCs, contracted and paid by the IA, shall conduct environmental impact monitoring during both construction and operation, as well as in the event of emergencies. Environmental effect monitoring shall be conducted four times a year, and semi-annual monitoring reports shall be prepared by EMCs and then submitted to the Project PMO and local EPB for review. Monitoring requirements are defined in Table VI-5, including the parameters to be monitored, the numbers and locations of monitoring points, as well as monitoring frequencies and durations.

137 Independent EMP compliance verification. The compliance-related internal and environmental impact monitoring as well as the IA’ and PMO’ compliance with EMP during project implementation and operation will be verified by an independent EEE not involved in day-to-day project implementation. The EEE will verify the monitoring information prepared by the Borrower. In verifying, the EEE may conduct its own investigation, by visiting the project site, taking samples and/or conducting visual inspections. The EEE will discuss the verification results with the PPMO, the IA and the LIEC, suggest corrective actions, and reflect his/her findings in the EMP compliance verification reports.

138 Quality assurance (QA) /quality control (QC) for environmental monitoring. To ensure monitoring accuracy, the QA/QC procedure will be conducted in accordance with the following regulations: i) Regulations of QA/AC Management for Environmental Monitoring issued by SEPA in July 2006; ii) QA/QC Manual for Environmental Water Monitoring(Second edition), published by the State Environmental Monitoring Centre in 2001; and iii) QA/QC Manual for Environmental Air Monitoring published by the State Environmental Monitoring Centre in 2001.

139 The standard monitoring methods required by these manuals are listed in Table VI-6.

140 The results/data of environmental inspection and monitoring activities will be used to assess: (i) the extent and severity of actual environmental impacts against the predicted impacts and baseline before the project implementation; (ii) performance or effectiveness of environmental mitigation measures or compliance with pertinent environmental rules and regulations; (iii) trends in impacts; (iv) overall effectiveness of EMP implementation; and (v) the need for additional mitigation measures and corrective actions if non-compliance is observed.

2. Mitigation Measures and Monitoring Costs

141 The costs of implementing the environmental management and impact mitigation measures listed in the EMP are shown in Table VI-7. These are to be included in the construction contracts and counterpart budgets. It should be noted that the IA will pay for (external) environmental effect monitoring carried out by licensed EMC. During implementation, the cost required shall be adjusted based on actual requirements. If there are unpredictable environmental impacts found during the implementation of the environmental monitoring, EIA and EMP should be updated in timely manner and mitigation measures will be put forward to reduce the impacts to the environment.

142 The IA will bear all monitoring costs and will ensure the necessary budgets are available for the EMCs. Internal monitoring costs will be borne by the IA and contractors during construction and by the IA during operation. Before implementing a monitoring plan, the IA’ EMU, supported by the LIEC, will present a more detailed breakdown of the estimated budget. During project implementation, the budgets will be adjusted based on actual requirements.

143 Contractors will bear the costs for all mitigation measures during construction, which will be included in the tender and contract documents. The IA will bear the costs related to mitigation measures during operation and the costs related to environmental supervision during construction and operation. The project as a whole will bear the costs for training and the Loan Implementation Environment Consultant. Training programs budget will be included in the construction and operation contracts. During the operation phase the training budget will be included in the operation and maintenance budget.

3. Consultation, Participation and Information Disclosure

a) Consultation during Project Preparation

144 Meaningful consultation was conducted during project preparation. The consultation process and its outcome are described in Chapter V of this IEE. Direct public participation was conducted as an ongoing element in the development of the Shenbei project. These activities were carried out by the IA in their preparation of the FSR and EIA following PRC National Environmental Impact Assessments Technical Guidelines and Asian Development Bank guidelines and the Safeguard Policy.

b) Future Consultation Plan

145 Future plans for public involvement during the detailed design, construction and operation phases will be developed. These plans include public participation in (i) monitoring impacts and mitigation measures during the construction and operation stages, (ii) evaluating environmental and economic benefits and social impacts, and (iii) interviewing the public after the sub-components are completed.

146 Public participation plans are part of the project implementation and management plan. The IA is responsible for public participation during project implementation. Costs for public participation activities during construction are included in the project funding.

Source: PMO, EIA, 2015. 4. Institutional Strengthening and Training

147 It was recognized during project preparation that the project is addressing townships that have limited capacity for sustainable environmental management. While the larger PRC cities that have, for the most part, much longer and extensive experience with proposed project interventions in urban roads, the smaller cities need assistance to meet the challenge posed by these developments. To ensure effective implementation of the EMP, the capacity of the PMO, IA, CSCs, and contractors must be strengthened, and all parties involved in mitigation measures and monitoring of environmental performance must have an understanding of the goals, methods, and practices of project environmental management. It is apparent that the IA and local EPB carry a substantial responsibility and workload if they are to ensure the environmental soundness of their components. The largest part of the capacity building in environmental management has therefore been in this direction. During the project preparation, the IA and their EIA Institute have been assisted in EIA preparation through written critiques of their EIA drafts, training sessions, and workshops where specific environmental issues were examined. The IA, contractors and operators will also be strengthened by environmental management training.

148 The Liaoning EPB, local EPB and LIEC shall offer EMP training that is specific to their roles for the project. However, the main training emphasis (>50% of training budget) will be to ensure that contractors are well versed in environmentally sound practices and are able to undertake all construction with the appropriate environmental safeguards. The institutional strengthening and training program is summarized in Table VI.9.

149 Supervisory staff in the Project PMO, IA (including EMUs), operators, local EPB and contractors will receive training in environmental management, environmental monitoring and supervision, mitigation planning, emergency response, environmental policymaking, and other environmental management techniques. The IA and local EPB will be offered EMP training that is specific to their roles on the Project. However, the main training emphasis (>50% of training budget) will be to ensure that contractors are well versed in environmentally sound practices and are able to undertake all construction with the appropriate environmental safeguards (see Table VI.9).

150 Funding of this training will be included in the project budget and in the operation and maintenance budgets during operation phase. The estimated costs for the institutional strengthening and training are shown for project administration at Items 1.2 (Pre- construction) and 3.7 (Operation) of Table VI-7.

5. Reporting and Supervision

151 Monthly reporting. The Project PMO will collect environmental monitoring data and reports from the IA, EMCs, and CSCs that are responsible for supervising the contractors’ implementation of mitigation measures. The data will be incorporated into monthly project progress reports. The reports will present: (i) project implementation status; (ii) environmental mitigation measures implemented; (iii) monitoring activities; (iv) monitoring data of air, noise and surface water; (v) analysis of monitoring data against relevant standards; (vi) violations of environmental regulations; (vii) any additional mitigation measures and corrective actions required; (viii) environmental training conducted; (ix) occupational health and safety reporting (e.g. accidents during construction); (x) major events or issues that happened during the reporting period and follow-up actions needed; and (xi) complaints received from the public and how these were resolved through the grievance redress mechanism (GRM). The monthly reports will be passed on to the local EPB.

152 Semi-annual environmental monitoring report. The Project PMO will consolidate their monthly reports and submit a semi-annual report of project performance to the PPMO. The PPMO will consolidate all the semi-annual project reports into a semi-annual environmental monitoring report and submit this to the ADB. The LIEC will help prepare the report. The report should describe the project’s compliance with the EMP and PRC legislated standards, identify any environment-related implementation issues and necessary corrective actions.

153 External EMP compliance verification report. The EEE will review all reports, including internal and external monitoring reports and the semi-annual environment monitoring report, and prepare a semi-annual external EMP compliance verification report. The report should confirm the project’s compliance with the EMP and PRC legislated standards, identify any environment-related implementation issues and necessary corrective actions. The EEE will send the report to the PPMO, the IA, and ADB.

154 Report of environmental acceptance monitoring and audit. No later than a month after completion of the construction work for project, the IA shall collect data/reports from all contractors and CSCs, and submit construction mitigation completion reports to the Project PMO and local EPB. The reports will indicate the timing, extent, and effectiveness of completed mitigation and maintenance, as well as point out the needs for further mitigation

105 环境影响评价 measures and monitoring during operations. Moreover, within 2 months after project completion, environmental acceptance monitoring and audit reports of project completions will be (i) prepared in accordance with the PRC Regulation on Environmental Check-and- Acceptance of Project Completion (State Environmental Protection Agency, 2001); (ii) reviewed for approval by the Liaoning Provincial EPB; and (iii) finally reported to ADB by the PPMO.

155 Besides reviewing the semiannual environment monitoring reports from the PPMO and the semiannual EMP compliance verification reports from the EEE, ADB missions will inspect the project progress and implementation on site at least once a year. For environmental issues, inspections will focus mainly on (i) monitoring data; (ii) the implementation status of project performance indicators specified in the loan documents for the environment, environmental compliance, implementation of the EMP, and environmental institutional strengthening and training; (iii) the environmental performance of contractors, LIEC, and the IA; and (iv) operation and performance of the project GRM. The performance of the contractors with respect to environmental protection and impact mitigation will be recorded and will be considered in future loan bid evaluations.

Mechanism for Feedback and Adjustment

156 The effectiveness of mitigation measures and monitoring plans will be evaluated by a feedback reporting system. Adjustment to the EMP will be made, if necessary. The Project PMO will play a critical role in the feedback and adjustment mechanism.

157 If during inspection and monitoring, substantial deviation from the EMP is observed or any changes are made to a project that may cause substantial adverse environmental impacts or increase the number of affected people, then the Sub-PMO should consult with the local EPB and ADB immediately and form an environmental assessment team to conduct additional environmental assessment and, if necessary, further public consultation. The revised EIA reports including a revised EMP should be submitted to the environment authorities for approval, and finally reported to ADB. The revised EMP will be passed to the contractor(s) and the IA for implementation. The mechanism for feedback and adjustment of the EMP is shown in Figure VI.1.

VII CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

158 The Shenbei project has been planned to assist the project beneficiaries of the Shenbei City to raise their standard of living and economic prospects by the provision of essential urban infrastructure. The Shenbei project has also been selected and designed to provide significantly environmental and socio-economic benefits for Shenbei New District.

159 The potential environmental impacts arising from the implementation of the project has been identified in the Shenbei EIA and their findings integrated in this IEE. During the feasibility and design phases of the project, many potentially significantly impacts have been addressed by design features and operating regimes which avoid or minimize negative environmental effects. Construction impacts exist, but these are of a temporary nature and are covered by stringent site management and procedural provisions in the EMP.

A. Environmental Assessment Findings

160 The project will support approved development Shenbei New District master plan, and the project belongs to a part of the master plan specified in the FSR. The project will improve the conditions of infrastructure in Shenbei New District. It is supportive of ADB's Country Strategy for the PRC to make markets work more efficiently through infrastructure development and to promote sustainability. Improved road networks will reduce traffic congestion, improve road safety conditions, and facilitate the movement of residents.

161 The project is located in urban area and not in or near sensitive or legally protected areas regulated by the State, but is in the area supervised by Liaoning Province. The project is expected not to destroy natural habitat or lead to loss of biodiversity or environmental services. The soil erosion will be effectively controlled through the implementation of the soil erosion plan.

162 During construction, potential impacts include noise and vibration, fugitive dust, solid wastes, and community and occupational health and safety risks. Overall, construction- related impacts are localized, short term, and can be effectively mitigated through appropriate construction management, professional health and safety plan, and environmental mitigation measures. There is no any cultural and historical relics involved in the project. The relevant regulations shall be strictly followed if any cultural and historical relics have been founded during the construction period.

163 During operation, improved road networks will reduce traffic congestion, improve road safety conditions, and facilitate the movement of residents.

B. Environmental Health and Safety

164 The project activities’ potential impacts on community and occupational health and safety were analyzed and corresponding mitigation measures have been proposed in the EIA. These include (i) construction management to avoid nuisance and danger to the community; (ii) emergency response planning; and (iii) training and awareness programs for community (e.g. road safety in schools). Emergency response mechanisms to deal with dangerous or hazardous material spills due to traffic accidents will be established by the Shenbei IA, and trained emergency response teams set up before project implementation.

109 环境影响评价

C. Resettlement and Economic Displacement

165 The resettlement plan addressed the relocation and compensation needs. A total of 13 people in 4 households of the 3 villages will be resettled due to the loss of buildings and land losses. Detailed information is provided in the draft RP. The RP will be implemented in accordance with all applicable PRC laws and regulations, and ADB‘s Safeguard Policy.

D. Climate Change

166 The Shenbei project shall minimally contribute to climate change mitigation based on limited fuel saving due to the improvement of the road network.

E. Risks and Assurances

167 The majority of environmental risks relate to design features, implementation and operational plans which will avoid or mitigate impacts, but which rely on the IA‘s commitment and capacity to implement and consistently follow-up.

 Soil disposal will be unplanned and will occasion unacceptable environmental impacts;  Sewage and stormwater conducted in pipes along roadways will not be appropriately managed before discharged;  The IA and operators of road networks will not develop appropriate Emergency; Preparedness and Response mechanisms;  Weaknesses in plant management may result in  Poor maintenance and breakdowns  Low quality of treated water to irrigation  Improper sludge disposal  The IA will fail to safely rehabilitate existing settlement and oxidation pond; and  Sludge utilization through composting and agricultural applications will not be implemented or properly acted upon.

 The following assurances, addressing the risks identified above, should be incorporated into the loan documentation as loan covenants to ensure that the measures are implemented in a timely and complete fashion:  A commitment that surplus soil should be transported to suitable soil disposal sites approved by the EPB;  A commitment that sewage and stormwater conducted in pipes along roadways will be appropriately managed before discharged (as stated in EMP);  A commitment that the IA and operators of road networks will develop appropriate  Emergency Preparedness and Response mechanisms;  A commitment that before construction commences on Shenbei road subprojects, a full predictive analysis of sensitive receptor sites along all roads will be carried out and funds for noise mitigation at affected properties will be

reserved;  A commitment from Liaoning government and the Shenbei New Area administration to adequately resource, train and support management and operational staff of WWTP in environmental awareness and environmental management skills (The TA has designed and scoped a capacity building program to support this); and  A commitment from Liaoning government and the Shenbei New Area administration to implement the treatment and utilization of WWTP sludge for composting and agricultural use.

168 The Liaoning Government and the subproject county and district will undertake the full range of effective measures set out in the EIAs and EMP to guarantee that the environmental management requirements and the environmental monitoring plan will be implemented effectively during project implementation, and that the implementation reports of the environmental management and monitoring plan in accordance with ADB requirements will be submitted in a timely fashion. Part of this monitoring and management commitment will be a commitment to implement and maintain an appropriate Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for all subproject counties and districts and covering the construction and operation of all project subprojects.

169 A Loan Implementation Environmental Consultant (LIEC) will be commissioned for the project loan implementation phase. The LIEC will have an important role in coordinating these activities. The LIEC will also assist in interpreting and clarifying the application of mitigation measures and the monitoring of their outcomes. In addition, an external environment expert (EEE) will be contracted to verify the project ‘s compliance with the updated project EMP, and identify corrective actions, as necessary.

F. Follow-Up Monitoring and Environmental Management Requirements

170 An EMP has been developed for the design, construction, and operation phases of the subproject. The plan is appropriate for the environmental safeguarding of the planned works and forms part of a comprehensive set of environmental management documents. The EMP includes institutional responsibilities and costs for implementing the mitigation measures and the monitoring requirements.

G. Conclusion

171 It is concluded that the Shenbei project will significantly benefit the populations of the area, including the poor and vulnerable. It is also concluded that the design features and operational planning will minimize adverse environmental impacts and that the implementation of these features will be assured during the implementation period. It is further concluded that the potential environmental impacts will be successfully mitigated through the design features, operational regimes and construction management safeguards, EMP and continuously environmental monitoring programs.
