Project Background and Legal Basis of EA 1. Jiangxi No.2 highway project financed by the World Bank loan includes the Taihe- Ganzhou Expresway Mainline, three inter-connectingroads in Wan' an, Suichuan and Ganzhou and four Rural Road improvement program (RRIP) as Suichuan-Chezi' ao, Yutian-Xinjiang, Shashibu-Wangmudu and Tangjiang-Dongshan.The study of the Taihe-Ganzhouexpressway main line was started from Sept. 1994. In Dec. 1999, the Feasibility Study Reportfor the Gan-Yue Expressway (Taihe-Ganzhou Section was compiled and its supplementary report was compiled in May 2000. By July 2000, the two-stage preliminary design was completed. As to the three connecting roads, Feasibility Study Report for Wan' an, Suichuang and Ganzhou were completed in February 2000 and their Two-Stage Preliminary Design were finished in September, 2000. The study for the RRIP started from April, 2000 and their Feasibility Study Report was completed in the same year.

2. The Research Institute of Highway under the Ministry of Communications (MOC), a holder of class A environmental assessment certificate issued by the China National Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), was entrusted by the Jiangxi Provincial Communications Department (JPCD) in Dec. 1999 to undertake the environmental assessment for this project. In March 2000, the Terms of Reference (TOR) for this project was reviewed and approved by SEPA. In June 2000, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) report for this project has passed the experts' reviewing sponsored by the MOC environmental office, now it is waiting for the SEPA' s approval. Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Research Institute (holding class A environmental assessment certificate issued by the SEPA) was entrusted by the Jiangxi Provincial High-Class Highway Administration in Dec. 1999 to undertake the environmental assessment for the four RIP roads.

3. The EIA and EAP (first version) of Gan-Yue Expressway Taihe-Ganzhou Section (including the Wan' an, Suichuan and Ganzhou connecting roads) were completed in March 2000. In May 2000, the World Bank environmental experts have reviewed the documents in Nanchang. In June 2000, according to the options of the World Bank experts, the assessment unit and the JPCD revised these environmental documents and compiled the EIA and EAP (second version) for the main line, and compiled separate EIA and EAP (first version) for the three connecting roads. In July 2000, World Bank experts reviewed them in Nanchang and presented revising opinions. In Sep. 2000, the assessment unit finished the EIA, EAP (third edition) for the main line and the EIA, EAP (second version ) for the connecting roads. The EIA, EAP (first version) for the RIP were compiled by Jiangxi Provincial Environmental Protection Research Institute in November, 2000. In November 2000, the World Bank experts reviewed these documents in Nanchang and presented revising opinions. In December 2000, the assessmentunit finished the EIA, EAP (fourth version) for the main line and the EIA, EAP (third version) for the connecting road; the EIA, EAP (second version) for the RIP projects and the environmentalassessment summary (EAS, third version).

4. Concerned departments in Jiangxi province have participated in the reviewing of the reports, including environmental protection department and research institutes, etc. Opinions have been extensively solicited from some units and non- governmental organizations that may be impacted and particularly from people who will be land acquired, removed and resettled.

C. Current Environmental

15. Topgraphy and Landform (1) The Gan-Yue Expressway Taihe-Ganzhou section main line lies in the south part of Jiangxi province. basically strikes from north to south at the west bank of the Ganjiang river. The area is high in the south and low in the north. The starting section Mashi (Taihe)- Luomukeng(Nankang) is hilly area with sharp undulation in landform, steep mountains and numerous gullies. The section from Luomukeng- Lijiashan(destination, Nankang) is low hilly flat terrain with partial

4 alluvial plain of Shangyoujiang river and Zhangjiang river. (2)The Wan' an connecting road lies in a rising and falling terrain from its origin to Shaokou and from Baijia to destination, and lies in the alluvial plain of Ganjiang river from Shaokou to Baijia. (3)The Suichuan connecting road lies in a rising and falling terrain from its origin to Dongtang, and lies in the alluvial plain of Suizhoujiang river from Dongtang to destination with flat and open landform, but low terrain. (4) The Ganzhou connecting road lies in the Ganzhou region in the south part of Jiangxi province, where the landform is relatively flat and the topography is mainly hills, followed by plains and hilly-lands. (5) The RIP road Suichuang-Chezi' ao is featured with hilly and low mountain topography, with a terrain strikes from southeast upward gradually to northwest. (6) The RIP road Yutian-Xinjiang lies between the Jinggansha and Yushan mountains, hilly terrain interval with low hilly land. It is featured with hilly land, downs, plains, etc but dominated by hilly land. (7) The RIP road Shashibu-Wangmudu goes along the low hilly land. (8) The RIP road Tangjiang-Dongshan goes along the Luoxiao Mountains. The route in the middle hilly area is aligned along the river valley, flat terrain.

16. Climates and Hydrology (I)The project area belongs to subtropical monsoon climate characteristic of cold winter and spring, hot summer and dry autumn, rainy early summer, rich clouds and little sunshine, long frost-free days sufficient heat, large temperature difference, abundant but uneven rainfall. The annual average temperature is 17.7-19.2°C, the annual average rainfall is 1372-1595mm. Summer prevails south wind, other seasons prevail north wind with annual average wind speed of 1.9m/s. The climate for the four RIP roads is similar to the above. (2) Rivers within the project area mostly belong to the Ganjiang river water system, they all enter into the Ganjiang river which pours into the Poyang Lake. Runoff mainly comes from rain, centering in April-June. River flow has big changes in every season. (3)The quality of major water bodies is good, is the major water source for agricultural and industrial production. The underground water along the road is relatively developed and of good quality, it is the main source for drinking.

17. Social Economy The project area are all within JiI an city and Ganzhou city which are strong in industry, especially the power, machinery, chemical and textile are of some important

5 position in Jiangxi province. Fertile in land and rich in produce, the agriculture is well developed. According to 1999year-end statistics, the population in the region is 2.999 million people, a density of 228persons/km2. The Ganzhou prefecturewhere the project lies in is very rich in natural resources; it is one of the key non-ferrous metal production bases in China, with strong industrial power and great development potential for agriculture.

18. Ecological environment The project area lies in subtropical zone with its major plants are evergreen broadleaf trees, subtropical coniferous trees, subtropical broadleaf and coniferous mixed trees, subtropical bamboo trees. The forest coverage rate is 49.0-67.5%. Along the road there are mostly cultivated vegetation and a few amount of bushes or natural grass. The farmland vegetation is mainly rice, cotton, and sugar cane or cash crops. Along the assessment scope there are mostly distributed by masson pines, citrus and oil trees. There are no endangered or rare species of animals and plants 500m within the roadside (including the three connecting roads and the four RIP roads), nor natural reserve zones.

19. Tourism and Cultural Relics (1)Tourism resources in the area are very rich. In the Ji' an prefecture, there are 3 scenery spots such as Jinggangshan Mountain, Qingyuanshan Mountain and Yusishan Monutain. and 9 national revolution remains. The south Ganzhou prefecture is rich in natural and historical interests; the Ganzhou City is a national historical and cultural city, endowed with many sceneries of the Song Dynasty. The above sceneries are all more than lOkm away from the proposed highway. (2)According to the Cultuiral Relics Sutrvey Report for the Taihe-Ganzhou Expressway of the Jiangxi No. 2 Highway Projectfinanced by the World Bank, provided Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Relics Archeology Institute, a total of 21 relics found along the road are 0.7-2km away from the road, which are at city and county protection level. Since the RIP projects only involve improvement on the existing roads along which the culture relics have been properly handled before.

20. Air Quality Along the proposed road (including the three connecting roads), 8 representative points were monitored for their current ambient air quality (NOx, TSP), 5 points

6 were monitored for the four RIP road project. The results show that only Huangsha Middle School along the Tangjiang-Dongshan road has exceedance in TSP as the school was having the sports meeting at the monitoring time, the NOx and TSP concentrations in other 12 points all comply with class II standard, and the NOx has a large tolerance margin, providing good conditions to the road construction.

21. Acoustic Quality The monitored results show that except individual village that exceeds class I noise standard but complies with class II standard, most of the ambient noise complies with class I even class zero standard. The monitored results of current noise conditions of schools, Kangfucun and dermatophyte clinic comply with class I standard. The monitoring results for the three connecting roads comply with theclass I standard. As to the RIP project, Suichuang-Chezi' ao road, schools and clinic meet class I standard; the rest meet class II standard. Half of the points in daytime and two third of the points at nighttime in villages along the Shashibu-Wangmodu road section meet class II standard. While the monitoring points along Tangjiang-Dongshan road have noise exceedance. For Yutian-Xinjiang road, 2 schhols have slight noise exceedance in daytime, the rest all meet class II standard. According tot he monitored results, generally speaking, the acoustic environment either for the main line project or the connecting roads are quite good, able to meet the requirements of each sensitive location to acoustic environment. However, the acoustic environment for the RIP roads is not good.

22. Water Resources and Water Quality The project area belongs to Ganjiang river system with the major rivers are Ganjiang river. Suiehuan river, Shangyoujiang river, Zhangjiang river and their tributaries. The monitored results of current condition show that each water quality indicator is 100% compliant, indicating a good water quality and ability to meet water requirement (class III).

23. Soil Erosion Within the four cities or counties of the project area, except Suichuan county that is slight in soil erosion, the other three counties have a higher soil erosion level than the provincial average. But most sections of the main line are slightly and mildly eroded area; very few are heavily eroded area. Of the three connecting roads, the areas along the Wan' an and Suichuan connecting roads are slightly eroded, while the area along the Ganzhou connecting

7 road is heavily eroded area. The RIP road Suichuang-Chezi' ao and Yutian-Xinjiangroads are slightly eroded; Tangjiang-Dongshanroad and Nankang have heavy soil erosion, being the strong eroded area; Shangrao territory have slight soil erosion, being lightly eroded area. While Shashibu-Wangmoduroad is medium eroded area. The on-the-line areas are of slight soil erosion areas and heavily eroded area.

24. Traffic and Transportation Transportation infrastructure in Jiangxi province is relatively backward. Today a comprehensive transportation system was formed that combines railway, roadway, waterway, airway, and pipeline. In recent years, with rapid economic growth and increasing traffic volume, the original roads can not meet the economic demand, leading to steady deterioration of traffic condition, especially road transportation have many problems.

D. Environmental Impacts due to the project and Mitigation

Measures 25. The environmental impacts and their mitigation measures for this project are stated and implemented in three stages. The EAP key factors for this project are summarized in Annex I.

26. Design Stage (1) Selection of the Alignment The selection of the alignment for this project has been discussed and consulted many times among the design unit, environmental unit and the employer on the principle of rationality and lower cost together with the full consideration to factors such as protection of farm arable land, schools, residential quarters, cultural relics, flood control and discharge, urban development program, building materials source and quarries, etc. The current alignment has been finally chosen after wide consultation with relevant experts, local governments on the line and the people from every field. The mainline alignment is selected after comparison and optimization in three stages as pre-feasibility study (Pre.F/S), feasibility study (F/S), and design (as shown in figure D-l). T In pre-feasibility study phase, after excluding the impossibility of upgrading national road 105 to high-class highway and refusing to the East Ganjiang alignment for the main line, the west Ganjiang alignment is decided.

The Ganzhou connecting road designed 2 proposals to match the main line Fenggang proposal; the Wan' an connecting road designed 2 proposals aiming at the Ganjiang river bridge. The current proposals are determined from the viewpoint of reduced land acquisition and resettlement, diversion from schools and residences as well as other engineering, environmental and social considerations.

(2) Personal Interconnection Road construction will separate villages, causing some inconvenience to people' s traveling and farming. For this, the proposed highway has designed 53 grade separations and 328 passageways. In addition, the project will build a number of large, medium or small bridges to meet the traveling requirements of local people and vehicles. The Wan' an connecting road intends to build a huge bridge to meet people' s travelling demand crossing the river. (3) Soil Erosion Aimed at the current soil erosion of the project area, and road construction will produce new erosion, so prevention measures are required. The main measures are: transit and rationalization of earth and stone works, road planting design, planting arbor, bush, grass and climbing vegetation on slopes, skeleton turfing, face wall and mortar pitching. Subgrade protection works will be designed such as intercepting ditch, side ditch, face wall, berm, retaining wall and grid fence. Cut sections are designed with drainage works. The above measures also apply to the three connecting

11 roads and the RIP roads as well. (4) Reduction of Land Acquisition The selection of earth borrowing and waste disposal areas for this project adheres to the principle of "local borrowing and reclaiming land", so as to be economical and reduce land occupation. The earth borrowing sites are mostly located in barren hills, the waste disposal sites are in barren hills or sterile fields. Partial sections of the main line lies at hilly area with more cut than fill, so there will be a waste disposal of 2,081,171m3. The main line has 26 earth borrowing sites and 20 waste disposal sites. The Wan, an and Ganzhou connecting roads have more cut than fill, while the Suichuan connecting road has more fill than cut. Their earth borrowing and waste disposal areas will be selected by the above principle. The RIP road Suichuang- Chezi' ao has more fill than cut; the rest three roads have more cut than fill.

(5) Land Acquisition and Resettlement In selection of alignment, efforts have been made to divert from villages and fertilc farmlands so to minimize removal and land occupation. The quantities of the land acquisition and resettlement are presented in Table D-4. The project owner has established resettlement offices at city, county and village level to ensure completion of resettlement before the contractorsenter into the site. Refer to RAP for details.

As optimization has been done for most of the sensitive locations, the rest schools hospitals won, t be impacted by the project. The mitigation measures for both the main line and the connecting roads are presented in Table D-5 , which will be implementedprior to the operation of the roads. The noise mitigation measures for the RIP roads are presented in Table D-6. In addition to the noise mitigation measures taken for the above sensitive

12 locations with large noise excess, monitoring will be enhanced for other sensitive locations with small noise excess, and suitable measures will be taken according to the monitored results.

(7) Atmospheric Pollution According to forecasting, the NOx and CO concentration at all sensitive locations along the main line, its three connecting roads and the RIP roads meet class II standard during operation stage. Under bad climate, the NOx concentration at Fanwvu and Zihecun may exceed the standard. The auto emission pollution will be controlled by improving auto emission technique, enhancing tail gas inspection and reducing NOx and other exhaust. The living facility of road service area is set up 1OOm beyond road center and the road management station is set up 200m beyond the interchange. To prevent impacts on residences and schools by stone quarries, earth borrowing and waste disposal sites,

13 stabilizing earth and bitumen mixing plants, the above sites are located to divert from residences and schools. (8) Water Pollution In designing, each road encompasses and builds sufficient permanent and temporary drainage systems, such as to rebuild ponds and canals so as to minimize surface water pollution and interference with existing irrigation and drainage system. In the Suichuan and Ganzhou service areas of the main line, sewage treatment facilities will be installed, sewage must be treated before discharging. The pavement drainage ditch for large bridges is designed by the historical max. rainfall. (9) Cultural Relics Protection The Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Relics Archeological Institute were entrusted to make cultural relics investigation along the roads, which shows that the main line, its three connecting roads and the four RIP roads are all far away from the discovered relics. (10) Flood Control The project has designed complete drainage system for subgrade and pavement as well as enough bridges and culverts. For example, the main line has designed 9 huge and large bridges, 22 small bridges and 10 middle bridges as well as 382 culverts. Their design flood frequency is one big flood in 300 years for large bridge and 100 years for medium and small bridges. The design flood frequency for the three connecting roads is one big flood in 100 years for huge bridge and 50 years for middle and small bridges. Also there are a number of passageways. These works can meet flood requirement for safe discharging.

27 Construction stage (1) Ambient Air Pollution The major pollution sources during construction stage come from the dust produced from stabilizing earth mixing, construction machines. road building machines. Bitumen and concrete mixing and the paving can also produce a small amount of bituminous smoke. The following measures will be taken: a. The stabilized soil and bitumen mixing plants would be set up at the leeward side 300m away from the sensitive locations of residences, hospitals and schools. The mixing plant would be equipped with sealing device, shock absorber and dust remover. Labor protection measures would be provided to the operators of the construction machine such as eye mask and mouth mask. b. Bulk construction materials transported by truck would be covered to prevent spillage as much as possible. c. Hauling roads and construction site, particularly the stabilized soil mixing plant, would be sprayed from time to time to prevent secondary dust flying.

14 d. In the process of subgrade filling, spraying would be made according to the need of compaction. After the compaction, the contractor would spray the compacted ground from time to time to prevent flying dust. e. The storage of the bulk construction materials would be covered and over 300m away from the school and village sensitive locations

(2) Noise Pollution Noise during construction stage mainly comes from construction machines and hauling vehicles. Strong noise, if persistently imposed on human body, can induce various diseases and noise deafness. The following measures will be taken: a. When the construction site is close to school, no construction work with heavy noise machines would be arranged at school time; when the construction site is close to densely populated residence, construction work with strong noise machines would not be arranged at nighttime (22:00-6:00). b. To use construction machines with low noise level as much as possible. For construction machines with high noise level, temporary sound barrier would be adopted to mitigate the noise impact. The construction materials storage site and the mixing plant would be set at places 300m away from the acoustic sensitive locations. c. The construction operator' s work time would be arranged in accordancewith the labor hygiene standard, and personal protection measures such as wearing ear- plugs and helmets,etc. would be provided to the operators. d. The excess roads for the highway construction would be selected away from such sensitive locations as schools, residences and hospitals. When dense residences exist 50m within excess road, transportation of building materials is forbidden in such excess road at night. e. If the transportation of building materials does make the acoustic environmentof residences along the existing national highway (105) deteriorating, supervisory engineer is required to enhance noise monitoring. Monitoring points have been set up at places as: For main line, Gaopo town of Wan' an county, Jigongduancun of Shaokou township, Quanjiang of Suichuang county, Luowencun of Jinshi township, Changshengcunof Fenggang town, Bazicun of Mushuang town; For wan' an connecting road, Xiaketang; For Suichuan connecting road, Naxi of Taihe; For Ganzhou connectingroad. lingzinao. If necessary, the hauling route may be considered for a change or some economic compensation may be made to local residents.

The above measures will be specified in the contracts to be sighed with the contractors. In case of offence, penalty shall be given to the contractors.

(4) Water Conservation To prevent soil erosion during construction stage, the following measures are required: a. Engineering measures (0 To reduce the area and number of construction sites as much as possible; construction shall be carried out in designed site, the earth borrowing and waste arca would not be enlargedcasually so to reduce the exposed area of cutting. Don' t enter the site so earlier if construction is not ready. 02 For road sections with deep cutting/filling (such as the section of K192+900- K199+660.547. K221+000'-K260+000), the engineering measures such as earth retaining wall, protection wall, concrete anchoring would be taken combined with side slope grass planting to make it stable and to prevent sliding. Terrace would be arranged for deep cutting section; interceptingditch shall be set 5m away from the top of the cut to discharge the run-off from the top surface of the side slope. ( When it is raining, sand bag or straw mat may be used to cover the slope surface to reduce soil erosion; and cutting would be avoided in rainy season. 40 As required by the design, water drainage ditch and intercepting ditch would be built for the earth borrowing sites to reduce rainfall eroding force; surface of the earth borrowing site would be flat as much as possible. If the borrowing is to be made from a site with big slope, check dam and sediment control dam would be built together with proper drainage system.

b. Planting measures O Planting works would be carried out in accordance with the planting design.

16 The turf selected for the slope protection when planting and covering vegetation on the slopes in a lump would have the following features: fast growing and fully covering the ground surface; strong bonding force with the soil to prevent surface soil erosion; perennial plant in harnony with the environment. © To get the best effect, the side slope plantation would be completed one month in advance to the rainy season. c. Land Reclaiming (: Reclaiming and planting measures would be taken after completion of the borrowing and waste sites to prevent soil erosion by rainfall. ( Forestation or agriculture reclaiming will be considered respectively based on the location (whether in hilly or farmland areas) of the waste areas. ( As required by the local needs, the deep cutting areas may be built into reservoir or fishpond; and some waste sites may be used for resettlement or industrial buildings.

(5) Water Pollution Prevention a. Septic tank and garbage tank would be provided by the contractor at the construction camp and shall clean the wastes in time. b. Sand sendimenting tank shall be set up in construction site near river or reservoir to prevent mud from directly entering into water body.

(10) Public Participation Complaint telephone number for environmental complains would be conspicuously marked at the construction camp. For complaint problems, the owner and the contractors shall contact the local environmental department and solve such problem within 48 hours.

28 Operation stage (1) Traffic Noise Control a. To strengthen highway transportation and maintenance. Vehicles that make noise over the limit standards are prohibited to run on the highway. b.According to the predicted results, sensitive locations with excessive noise level will be protected by sound barriers, resettlement, and installation of soundproof windows. c. Construction planning department is suggested not to plan schools and hospitals within 200m from the road center for the main road, 100m for the connecting roads and 40m for the four RIP roads, nor plan residences within 150m from the road center for the main road, 50m for the connecting roads and 20m for the four

18 RIP roads. d. For households with non-excessive but increasing noise, due to their relatively long distances to the road (generally over 60m), so the existing noise reduction effect is not good. By consulting with and agreed by the households that may possibly be affected, noise monitoring will be enhanced during operation stage to decide whether to remove, to install sound-proofing windows or to give economic compensation according to the monitored results. e. Noise monitoring plan will be implemented to decide supplementary acoustic environmental protection measures according to the monitored results.

(2) Ambient Air Pollution control a. Inspection shall be given at the highway entrance to those vehicles hauling bulky materials such as coal. cement, sand and stone, and easily packaged fertilizers and pesticides. Vehicles hauling the above materials would be covered. b. Tunnel fans would be maintained to ensure good ventilation within the tunnels. c. Planting would be set up at both sides of the road, which is good to absorb the flying dust and to protect the ambient air quality. d. Ambient air monitoring plan would be implemented to decide supplementary environmental protection measures according to the monitored results. (3) Ecological Restoration and Watcr Conservation a. Maintenance shall be continued for the planting areas as side slope, central belt, interchange, service area so as to recover the vegetation, to protect the subgrade, and to reduce soil erosion. b. The culverts would be cleared in time to ensure a smooth running of water in the irrigation system. c. Further improve the soil & water conservation works, planting works, and land reclaiming works according to design requirements. A combination of grass, flowers, bushes, and arbors may be used to form a stereo planting pattem. In the later operation stage, planting would be prompt so as to protect the subgrade stability and to reduce soil erosion.

(4) Water Pollution Control a. The sewage treatment facility at the service area would be maintained so as to ensure the sewage meet the discharging standard. b. Execute the water- quality- monitoring plan and supplementary environmental protection measures will be taken according to monitored results.

H. Public Consultation and Information Release 32. In order to fully comprehend the public opinions and to really protect the interests of influenced people, the concerned departments of construction, design, resettlement and environmental assessment unit have made four public participation surveys and consultation on Dec. 10-15, 1999, April 12-20, 2000, and May 18-June 5, 2000 and Nov. 20-28,2000 respectively. The latest (the fourth on Nov. 20-28,2000) public survey was carried out for those impacted by the optimized alignment (40km) in the construction design for the recommended scheme. The survey places are cities, counties and townships along the proposed line. The public participation survey was carried out in three different forms:(l)Family or individual interview; (2) group interview; (3) discuss meetings attended by governmental and non-governmental organizations For the main line, the survey involved 586 persons (based on the family), 75 villages/towns, 12 organizations. For the three connecting roads, seven group

23 interviews have been conducted, involving 178 families and three discussing meetings have held for governrnental and non-governmental organizations. For the four RIP roads, five group interviews have been carried out . The public survey contents include: 0 Introduction of the necessity, construction scale, technical standard and the basic principles of the alignment selection for the proposed expressway . ® Environmental assessment unit explain to the public the major environmental issues and the protection measures to be taken. () Introduction of the state policies on the compensation for the highway land acquisition, removal and resettlement, etc. (®) To understand the publics, opinions about the environmental impact brought by the expressway construction, their suggestions for mitigation measures as well as their requirements. The public participation results are summarized in Annex V. The public' s opinions are summarized as follows: (1) Hope the proposed expressway be completed and open to traffic as early as possible (2) The directly impacted people along the line are mainly farmers, therefore, after the land acquisition; timely adjustment for arable land is necessary. Meanwhile, the land compensation fee shall be drawn down to the village and paid to the impacted households in full amount, no reduction. (3) As to the negative impacts as dust, tail gas and traffic noise, mitigation measures such as planting, removal, resettlement, soundproof measures, etc. shall be taken into consideration. (4) The owner shall keep close contact during the project design and construction phase. proper number of culverts, bridges and passageways shall be set up .

33. Full consultation and exchange have been rmade with the local governrments, relevant departments. village committee, collectives and individuals in respect of alignment selection, setting of interchange and connecting roads, environmental protection and resettlement. Therefore this project has received wide support from the public. The World Bank Loan Project office of JPCD released the bulletin concerning the environmental and resettlement in Nanchang Evening. Jingangshan Daily and Ganzhou DailY dated Oct.10-11 (Refer to Annex VI). The Owner has put all environmental documents in the Reference Room and the Resettlement Offices of the concerned cities and counties for the availability of public consulting. Rclevant information will be released in the above-mentioned newspapers in the future. The owner has taken the public opinions into full consideration in the project design, such as a special lane for farming-vehicle will be set up on one side of the Shangyoujiang bridge, and one interchange will be set up for each of the counties, a number of alternative schemes has be taken for comparison and selection. After the alignment optimization. Wuling school is 100m further away from the road center line (nowI80m in total), Mashuang school is 20m further away from the road center line (now 40 in total).

24 As to the possible environmental issues arising from this project, the assessment and design units have proposed corresponding protection measures as shown in Table D-5 and Table D-6, which have been agreed by the influenced people. During its preliminary preparation and design, full consultation and exchange have been made with local governments, social associations and the public; and the public opinions have been fully exemplified in the selection of alignment, setting of interchange and connecting roads, environmental protection and resettlement. Therefore this project has received wide support from the public.

I. Resettlement

34. The design of the project has always emphasized the principle of diversion from villages, towns and few removal and land occupation. Hierarchical resettlement offices were set up, and RAP was formulated, and the Jiangxi Normal University City and Population Institute was hired as an independent supervisor. Details refer to the RAP.

35. The reallocation of land and the reform of the original arable lands shall China related policies. The Village committee will allocate the residential lot for house building. The land and resettlement compensation fee can be used to develop agriculture, industry, commerce and other servicing. Villagers' life and production shall be well settled.

J. Conclusions

36. After the implementation of the environmental protection measures specified in the EAP, adverse impacts can be minimized to an acceptable level or eliminated. so it won' t produce significant, irreversible environmental damage.

37. With cooperation from relics department, this project has made investigation for relics. During construction, national law on relics will be enforced. So, this project will not damage cultural relics.

38. The risk for hazardous substance transportation of this project is not big, and will not exert important impact on flood control along the road.

39. Removal, land occupation and resettlement will be settled locally, so will not result in large number of farmers rushing into city.

25 40. The project will not impact wildlife; it is beneficial to tourism development and utilization along the road.

41. The proposed expressway involves an investment of 14.96082 million yuan for environmental protection, accounting for 0.42 percent of the total. Wan' an connecting road costs 854.700 yuan, accounting for 0.74 percent of the total. Ganzhou connecting road costs 777,000 yuan, accounting for 0.75 percent of the total. The environmental benefit is larger than its loss. The adverse impacts produced by the project development are acceptable to the environment.

42. In order to finalize each environmental protection work, a special environmental protection organization was established which will be gradually perfected through ability development and training.

43. The environmental action plan (EAP), environmental monitoring plan and resettlement action plan (RAP) have been worked out and will be implemented as part of the project.
