The environmental setting covers four aspects as: physical environment, environmental quality and ecological environment, land use, and social environment. 3.1 Environmental Study Area According to the characteristics of this project, the overall environmental study area of this project is seen in the Figure3. 1-1; and it can be divided into 8 impact areas as shown in the Figure 3.1-2. 3.1.1 Reservoir Catchment Area Reservoir catchment area includes two impact zones: Impact Zone I refers to Hongwawu reservoir: the runoffs from the upstream of the Majia river above the dam with the area of about 6.03kmr2 and the water diverted from gullies with the catchment area of 15.45km2, such as from Duantou river, Dongpiao river, Huoshaoyiba, Huoshaoerba, Shangcao, Goujiao river, Liujia gully, Qilibian river, Zhichang river. The total catchment area is about 21.48 km2. Impact Zone IV refers to Zhamushui reservoir: the runoffs from the tail water of the Sishier hydropower station and the inflow from the branches of the river between Zhamushui dam to the Sishierba hydropower station. 3.1.2 Reservoir Areas and its Surrounding Reservoir areas in clude two impact zones: Impact zone II refers to Hongwawu reservoir with submerged area 21.48 km2 and the length of the backwater 1.0 km.at its normal water level 1583.0m. Impact zone V refers to Zhamushui reservoir with the submerged area 1.63 km2, and with 8.17 km backwater till Sishierba hydropower station (4 stages) at its normal water level 660 m. Reservoir surroundings refer to the areas in the both sides of the dams within its watershed. 3.1.3 Affected Areas in Lower Reaches Generally, affected areas in lower reaches in clude two impact zones: Impact Zone III covers the areas from Hongwawu dam to the confluence of Majia river with Zhamushui River, Majiahe Bridge with the total length 12km. Impact zone VI covers the areas from Zhamushui dam till the backwater of Xiaoxikou Hydropower station whose installed capacity, 3x 104 kW, is bigger than this project, thus the total length is 1 1km. 3.1.4 Construction Areas It is called Impact Zone VII that the total construction area is 4 km2, which refers to the areas for construction of two dams, three power plants, diversion system, spoil disposal sites, etc. 6 EIA/GRHP FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3.1.5 Resettlement Areas It is named Impact Zone VIII, according to East China Exploration and Design Institute, the major resettlement areas for resettlers are arranged in the 17th and 18th group of Dangyangba village, 12th group of Xishuya village, I1th group of Chayuangou village, and 1 st and 7h two group of Jigongling 7 EIA/GRHP FINAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Runoffs of the upstreams Hongwawu reservoir Hongwawu Reservoir Hongwawu lower Diverted water flows catchment area area and its reaches surrounding The tail water of Sishierba Dam Zhamushui Reservoir Zhamushui Reservoir Zhamushui lower Catchment area area and its reaches Branchcs flowing itoa ZhatmushuiRese surrounding Construction areas Resettlement Areas Three power plants construction Xishuya villages Diversion system works - Impact zone VII Jigongling villages - Impact zoneVIII Figure 3.1-2 Impact Areas of GRHP EIA 8 EIA/GRHPFINALPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3.2 Physical Environment Climate: Hongwawu reservoir areas are mostly located in the place above EL1400 m. Yearly average temperature is 7.9-1 0.6°C; relative humidity is 85%. Hongwawu river basin is located at the center place of the west of Hubei where rainstorm normally happens, the average annual rainfall is about 2000 mm, frost-free period is about 200 days, the sunshine is about 1500 hours. Zhamushui sub-project area is relatively warm, its altitude is mostly between 500-800m. The annual average rainfall is between 1200-1500mm and the annual average temperature is between 14.2- 16.2°C with an relative humidity of 80%. Topography: The ESA is located in the third upheaval of Xinhuaxia system, crossing the joint between the end of the southem Daba Mountain and the rest branches of Wulin Mountain. Lithosphere is broken and lifts up in an obvious way. The special feature of its geology, such as round peak of the mountains, rushing groove, lithontriptic holes, invisible valley, hidden stream and etc. are seen everywhere. Geology and Earthquake: The stratum is exposed with quite extent, which belongs to the Palaepzonic Cambrian to Quaternary Cenozonic. The stratum of Upper and Lower Carboniferous system, lower Devonian system, Middle and Upper Jurassic period lack. The rock are mainly rudaceous roak and carbonate rock.. There are two fault layers within the study area. Jianshi fault is located in the southwest of the county. This fault is developed by multi-period activities. However, it is quite far away from the damsite. The second fault is from Qinshan to Shilipai. This one is not as active as the first one. According to the "China earthquake intensity territorial map", there is no active fault within the dam areas, and the center of the earthquake is also far from this region. The basic earthquake intensity in this area is rated VI. Hydrology: (1) Surface Water in the ESA, the major water system is the water system in Guangrun river basin area, including Guangrun river and its major tributaries, such as, Hongwawu river and Chichang river, etc. The Guangrun river basin is located in the upper reaches of Mashui river, which is the largest tributary of Qingjiang river in the north bank. And the Qingjiang river is one of the major tributaries of the Changjiang River (the Yangtze). The Guangrun river basin has a total area of 1709km2. The average flow at the Zhamushui dam is 6.29m3/s with an average annual runoff of 1.98x108m3. major tributaries of the river include Hongwawu, Zhamushui, Mazixia, Taiyanghe and etc. The Hongwawu River originates at Heshangbao. It flows from north towards south, and later on joins with the Zhamushui River at Majiahe Bridge.

  • Lithofacies Palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China
    Journal of Palaeogeography 2014, 3(4): 384-409 DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1261.2014.00063 Lithofacies palaeogeography and sedimentology Lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China Jin-Xiong Luo*, You-Bin He, Rui Wang School of Geosciences, Yangtze University, Wuhan 430100, China Abstract The lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in Middle and Upper Yangtze Region was studied based on petrography and the “single factor analysis and multifactor comprehensive mapping” method. The Upper Permian Wujiaping Stage in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region is mainly composed of carbonate rocks and clastic rocks, with lesser amounts of siliceous rocks, pyroclastic rocks, volcanic rocks and coal. The rocks can be divided into three types, including clastic rock, clastic rock-limestone and lime- stone-siliceous rock, and four fundamental ecological types and four fossil assemblages are recognized in the Wujiaping Stage. Based on a petrological and palaeoecological study, six single factors were selected, namely, thickness (m), content (%) of marine rocks, content (%) of shallow water carbonate rocks, content (%) of biograins with limemud, content (%) of thin- bedded siliceous rocks and content (%) of deep water sedimentary rocks. Six single factors maps of the Wujiaping Stage and one lithofacies palaeogeography map of the Wujiaping Age were composed. Palaeogeographic units from west to east include an eroded area, an alluvial plain, a clastic rock platform, a carbonate rock platform where biocrowds developed, a slope and a basin. In addition, a clastic rock platform exists in the southeast of the study area. Hydro- carbon source rock and reservoir conditions were preliminarily analyzed based on lithofacies palaeogeography.
