General Introduction 1.1 Project background The proposed Nanning-Guangzhou Railway Project (Nan-Guang Line) is a new466.734km double track railway line starting from Nanning in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and ending at Guangzhou in Guangdong province in south China. The total investment of the entire project is RMB 38311.61 million Yuan (US$ 5.634 billion), including World Bank loan of US$ 300 million. The construction period is expected to be 4.5 years, commencing in late 2008 and the line is proposed to be commissioned by end of 2012. According to both Chinese EA laws/regulations and the World Bank Operation Policies 4.01 Environmental Assessment, the proposed project is a Category A project due to its scale of potential environmental and social impact and the sensitivity of the project areas, and full environmental impact assessment report is required. The EMP specifies project activities, potential impacts, mitigation measures, implementation entities, monitoring entities, budget allocation, monitoring indicators, as well as environmental management and supervision institutional setup and capacity building training program. This EMP will be part of contractual documents for contractors and supervision engineers. The mitigation measures developed in EMP will be incorporated into preliminary design and detail design, and will be fully implemented by contractors under contractual obligations. 1.2 Project Description Salient technical parameters of the railway line are: • Length: 466.734km • Right of way: Nanning-Guangzhou Railway is a backbone railway from Guangxi and Yunnan to the coastal region of South China, passing through Guangxi Province and Guangdong Province and connecting West Litang Station of Liunan passenger special line to be built in its west. It is connected to New Zhaoqing Station of Guiguang Line along Xijiang River Basin and via Guiping County and Pingnan County in Guigang City, Tengxian County and Cangwu County in Wuzhou City, Yunan County, Yun’an County and Yuncheng District of Yufun City of Guangdong Province and Duanzhou County and Dinghu County of Zhaoqing City and then connected to Qicha Station together with and parallel to Guiguang Railway to be built via Sanshui and Foshan. After leaving Qicha Station, it is connected to Sanyanqiao Station along the existing double line of Guangmao passage. Its total length of main line is 466.734km. • Distance in center line of two tracks: 4.6m • Minimum curve radius: 3500m; for accelerating/decelerating section, it shall be determined in combination with design running speed. • Maximum grade: 12‰ for West Litang Station-Guigang Station; 6‰ for Guigang Station-New Sanshui; 13‰ for New Sanshui-Sanyanqiao; • Effective length of departure track: 650m for West Litang Station-Guigang Station; 850m for Guigang Station-Sanyanqiao Station • Train type: Electric traction • Train operation control: Automatic • Traffic management control: Centralized Traffic Control • Structure gauge: shall meet the requirements of transportation for double-deck container train 3 Detailed project contents and scales are shown in Table 1-1.

Aquatic environment Water quality of the rivers crossed by the railway shall conform to Category III or above specified by Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water GB3838-2002; suspended solids below the limit of 30 mg/l; discharged wastewater up to Level I specified by Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard GB8978-1996. Level III applies when wastewater from the stations and section is discharged to an urban sewerage networks with two-stage biochemical wastewater treatment plant available during operation period. The corresponding level specified by Standards for Irrigation Water QualityGB 5084-2005 applies when wastewater is to be discharged to agricultural irrigation channels. 2. Atmospheric environment Ambient air along the line shall meet Class II or above specified by Ambient Air Quality Standard GB3095-1996. Exhaust air emitted during construction period shall fit Class II or above specified by Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutant GB16297-1996. 3. Acoustic environment Noise Limits for Construction Site GB12523-90 applies in construction period. For operation period, the limit (70dBA for day and night) of Emission Standard and Measurement Methods of Railway Noise on the Boundary alongside Railway Line
