1.1 Project profile Located in the west of Inner Mongolia autonomous region, a border area province in North , Bayannaoer City is amongst 105°12 109°53 E and 40°13 42°28 N, connecting with Baotu City and Wulanchabu City at the east, abutting on at the west, close to the at the south opposite to Yike Zhao League, bordering the People's Republic of Mongolia at the north with a

2 boundary line of 368.89km, covering an area of 65788 km , with the length of 378 km form east to west and the width of 238 km from south to north, governing the administrative divisions of Linhe , , , Urad Back Banner, Hangjin Back Banner, Wuyuan County and , with Hetao Irrigation Area as the core. In 2003, approved by the State Council, this City was upgraded from League into a prefecture-level City in the west of Inner Mongolia autonomous region. In accordance with the economic development strategy of the autonomous region and Bayannaoer City, in order to make full use of the abundant mineral resources within the city as well as that from Mongolia, it is planned to build up Qingshan Industrial Zone, Jinquan Industrial Zone, Shahai Industrial Zone, Linhe Chemical Industrial Zone and Urad Industry Base and therefore, Bayannaoer City will be the key heavy chemical industry base in Inner Mongolia autonomous region. Accordingly, the water requirements of the perspective long-term plan will be up to about 520 million m3, of which the water requirements of long-term plan by the industrial zones within the mountainous areas serious lack of water resources will be up to 410 million m3. According to the estimate in the Report on the Comprehensive Planning with regard to Water Resources in Bayannaoer City, the gross amount of the water resources along the south foot of Yinshan Mountain within Bayannaoer City in the Yellow River Valley is 587 million m3, of which the gross amount of groundwater is 380 million m3, mainly used as domestic water for urban and rural residents. And industrial water is mainly from the recycled water according to relevant industrial policies of the State. Covering a water surface of 293km3, with an aggregate storage capacity of 330 million m3, Lake is the largest riverside fresh water lake in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, where, in recent years, the industrial waste water and urban domestic sewage increases year by year and the pollution from the general drainage canal is increasingly severe with the development of industrial production and the increase of urban population in the irrigation area, in particular, the trend of eutrophication in Ulansuhai Nur Lake is increasingly severe, resulting in three to five times of the total phosphorus, total nitrogen and chemical oxygen- consumption in the lake beyond National Grade III standard for surface water and the quality of the water being worse than Grade V, which speeds up the biological fill up rate of the lake and the eco-function of the lake is fading away. What’s more, in order to reserve enough storage capacity for floodwater before flood season, it is necessary to open the check gate at the outlet of the general drainage canal to discharge water into the Yellow River, so the polluted water stored in the lake causes severe pollution threat to the Yellow River. In order to further promote the comprehensive treatment of water environment in Bayannaoer City, to strengthen greatly the infrastructural construction of the urban environment, to reduce the pollution load of Ulansuhai Nur Lake, to relieve environmental degradation, to improve the quality of urban water environment and further to promote the process of urbanization and the increase of economy, Bayannaoer municipal party committee and government make decision to cooperate with the World Bank to implement the Project of Comprehensive Treatment of Water Environment in Bayannaoer City by loan from the World Bank. Through a great deal of pre-phase the preliminary investigation and study as well as careful preparations, in August 2006, Bayannaoer municipal party committee and government lodged a formal application with National Development and Reform Commission for the utilization of the loan of 150 million USD from the World Bank (plus domestic counterpart funding of about RMB 2.125 Yuan) to implement the Project of Comprehensive Treatment of Water Environment in Bayannaoer City (hereafter referred to as simply “this Project”), which was approved in July 2009 and listed into the National Projects Alternatives Planning to use loans from World Bank during 2010 2012 fiscal years.

As a result, the requirements for the contractor are as follows: (1) Qualified contractor is selected for ensuring effective implementation of environmental management plan; (2) The contractor and construction supervisor must receive the trainings on environment protection and environment management before construction; (3) The environmental impact reducing measures in construction period in above should be included in the bidding document of the contractor and finally in the construction contract as contractual requirement of project contractor. (4) The contractor should monitor its environment activity, daily or weekly submit an environmental performance record report. The project office and the

construction supervising team will supervise and verify these records. (5) The contractor should provide at least one full-time employee liable for the environment for each sub-project. These employees liable for environment must receive the training as scheduled so as to be competent for their job. (6) In the construction, the contractor should communicate and negotiate with the people in the region of the project, set up bulletin at each construction unit for announcing specific construction activities, time, contact and telephone so that the public can present their complaint or proposal for the construction activity. (7) A deposit for environmental management and etc. should be planned in the contractual funds of the project of the contractor as per annual budget, with a proportion of about 3% of the budgetary funds.

6.3 Information Exchange and Solution to Non-conformity Case In environment monitoring, information needs to be disclosed to the field environment supervisor, environmental management manager of enterprise and project office. To focus the attention of management on the most important issues, the non-conformity of the project is divided at three levels as follows as per the difference of importance. Level 1: definition: the non-conformity status is defined as non-conformity with the original requirement while is deemed to have no short-term impact on very important resources. The repetitive occurrence of Level 1 may cause the appearance of Level 2 if not properly handled. Measures: proper cooperation and regular communication can deal with the case of Level 1. For example, the construction unit discusses with the employees of operating unit. As a result, remedy measures can be implemented soon. The formal communication mode is typically a weekly report that environment supervising engineer submits to environmental management manager and field building manager of enterprise. Level 2: definition: the non-conformity status doesn’t produce an obvious damage or inconvertible impact for the sensitive and important resources while needs immediate remedy and field disposal for preventing above-said impact. The repetitive occurrence of Level 2 may cause the appearance of Level 3 if not properly handled. Measures: In case of the event of Level 2, environmental management manager of the enterprise must report to environment manager of project office and field building manager on the day of occurring and remedy measures should be defined as soon as

possible. Generally, remedy measure must be submitted in one week upon the occurrence. Level 3: definition: the level includes a damage to sensitive target in focus or predictable and instant damage. Special behaviors prohibited internationally are also included in Level 3. Measures: In case of the event of Level 3, environmental management manager must report to environment manager of project office and field building manager on the site immediately and remedy measures should be defined as soon as possible. Generally, remedy measure must be submitted in three days upon the occurrence except special cases in need of more time. If necessary, the environmental management manager of the enterprise can require the building manager to stop some special works in order to protect the resources before implementation of remedy measures.

8.1 Budget Distribution The implementation of EMP measures involves many units. As a result, different sources of capital exist. Most environmental protection activities are engineering measures. Therefore, the construction unit and operating unit of the project should provide the expenses and include in their engineering costs, which are defined and listed in their bidding documents. The expenses in EMP are mainly used in environmental management in construction period and operation period, primarily including: environment monitoring expenses, environment supervisor expenses, personnel training expenses, running costs of environmental management institutions as well as risk preventing expenses in some projects. EMC activities will be included in the international project management expenses of PMO and PIUs. So does the monitoring of water quality, atmosphere and noises, CSEE and EFSI. The CSEE monitoring and supervising activity is part of building and supervising expenses. Local environment monitoring stations will monitor water, noises and atmosphere in the operation of project as authorized by project employer, where project employer pays the monitoring expenses. If regular monitoring of local environmental protection authorities synchronizes with the project, their data of regular monitoring can be used.
