Ykh) Changxiag-Buzhou-Shanghai Cha.e lC 12. 5h ) Hangzkou-Shanghai Channel( 72. 3km) Zhapuii xing-Suzhou-Channe1 (42.1bm)(within Zhejiang province, thirteen contracts) constructioa of terminals at liaxingrailway-waterway tansfer port district( 13 berthsfor l10dwt,2 berthsfor 300iwt) XIuzhou railway-waterwaytransfer port district (10 berths for 10Idwt, I berth for 300dwt) and hngzhau inland river bulk cargo operation district (20 berths for 1lodut.3 berthsfor 300dwt) (totaLly 3 contracts).For detailssee Fig.1. The purposeis to increasechannoel navigationaL capacity and port throughput.After projectcomplution, Lhe channel total Lengthwill he 13. t1khwith l2.57kb of 300 Lonnagecapacity,class V channel standard and8.24kh of 15t capacity,class VI chaineLstandard. The design increase throughputcapacity is 5.550 milLioa lons. With the iuprovenett of waterway conditions,the navigational enterprise in thisarea wiLl be more developed and thusenhance the economy of ZhejiangProvince.

The channel density leaches33.3kv lODkuf. The geologic unit of thisarea belongs to Hangzhou depressionof the Qianlangfold covered by Quate-rnarydeposits. The soil is mainlymuddy soil. 3.2CLimate Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Ruzhouareais locatedin a subtrapicalclimate region of east Asia with warmand humid wealher. The rainfallis sufficientand concentratedduring the main rain season between April and June; typhoon seasonhas heaviestrains between July and september. Key meteorological dataare: Temperature3 annualaverage temperature is 15.7lC. highestannual temperature is203C. Lowestannual temperature is 12.2C. sax.highest temperature is 39.4-C. ain.lowest temperature is -l1.91j. Rainfalls annualaverage rainfall is 1290mm. diurnalsax. rainfall is 289mm. hourlymax rainfallis 81.1-. Wind: in sum5er,direction is SE, this season has high temperature, stronglight and rich moisture brought by theocean; in winter.direction is MW. thisseason has lowtemperature and Lessrain. 3.3SociaL Economy Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Iazhouareais themost developed in Zhejiangprovince with pToductive Land,bountifuL products and excellentnatural conditions.It is alwayscaLled Horme of fishand rice". The totalarea. popuLalion and gross industriaLand agricuLtural output of Hanzhoucity, Jiaxing city and luzhou cityrespectively occupy 3096, 2716 and 4696 of thoseof Zhejiangprovince. The villageand townenterprise are deveLoped along the channeLs.TIhe farmersare going in for agriculture.industry, comerce, buidingsd transportationfrom agricuLture only on 0.053ha.Land. More and more farmers havebecome labourers in agricuLture and industry. 3.4Traffic Transportation This areais connectedby a comprehensivetransport network incorperating Xunhangrailway and Nuhang railway, Highway Rouls 104, 311, 320 and 329 etc. fourstate highways and many provincial highways and waterways. laterwaytransport has a longhistory with inland river cargo transport as the sajor mode. In i992, theinland waterway transportcargo was 61 million tons, turnoveramount of cargowas 7. 1 billionton- km. respectivelyoccupy 3836 and 5236 of thetotal transport amountby railway,waterway and highway. It is predicledthat the inLand waterway transportwilt keep increasing. Because the existing channels are not of sufficientwidth, depth curve radius or bridgeclearance. the capacityaf scatteredloading/uuloading operating districts in Enzgzhou, liaxing and Huzhoucannot meet thc requirements of economic development. Traffic congestion,cargo loss, ship delay in portand accident etc always happen. 71 Titesehave been the mainreasons for the project. 3.5Histoty' Culture Hhngzhou,Jiaxing and Huzhou are threemain cities along the route. The MistyRain Balcony in Nanhu lake, Jiaxing city hasbeen listet as provinciaL emphasizedprotected historic relic. In 1977,the stone tomb of stonecut pictures in East Han Dynasty was excaveted in Changantown. These pictures are very rarein theworld with super art craft.active shapes and rich contents,Iangzhou is a famoustourist city and has openedtwo tourist routes toSuzhou city mad Vixi city. This reconstructionproject wiLl improvethe conditionfor increasing historical culture and deveLoping tourisa. 4. EnvironmentQuaLity Situation 4.1Water Quality &ccordingto theannual water quality monitoring results and water analysis, the waterquality in theproposed channels and port districts belongs to classlV-V.later quality in riversections can reach cLasslV, white that i* urbansections is worseaonlycan reach class V) waterquality in river sectionwhere industrial pollution sources are concentratedis seriously polluted andmuch higher than classV ( main poLlutants are BODI COD. petroLeumand hydrocarbons). 4.2Noise Along four channels,noise is seriousduring ship operation.After monitoringat selectedrepresentative points in cities,villages, towns and open fields, itwas foundthat in iay hours, ship f Low is 4-7 ships,5 8 minutes,noise is 70-16dB(A);during night hours, when ship flow is a shipsohr.noise is 63 dB(A), 4 ships/hr,noise is 54 dB(A).These noise levelsare all abovethe daytime value of 70 dB(A) and nighttimevalue 551l(A)for class II regionas specifiedin GB 11339-89cinvironment Noise Stuadardin City Fort aad River Dank Regiow;. In threeport districts, after pointmonitoring, il wasfound that the averagenoise base valueis 41.5-52.40B(A) during day timeand 31.5-42.4 dB(A) during night time, aLL Less thanthe standard daytime value of 61dB(A)and nighttime valueof SOMdiA) of class1 regionas specifiedin GB 11339-19ctEnviron=ent Noise Standardin City Port and RiverBank Region>. 4.3Air Quality Based on monitoringdaLa, theair quality in thethree proposed port districtshas been assessedwith seLected factors of TSP, S02, NOx.
