I. STRATEGIC CONTEXT
A. Country Context
1. During the past few decades, China has expanded its transport infrastructure to support rapid economic growth and social transformation. By 2010, the end of China’s “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, China had developed a multimodal transportation system with 3.98 million km highway network, 91,000 km railway network, 95 national ports, and 175 civil airports1. The greatest parts of the national investment in transportation, however, remain in the road and railway sectors; the air transport sector attracted only about 4.6 percent of the total investment during the last five years2.
2. The country has recognized air transport’s vital role in promoting economic and social development and reducing regional disparities. Despite the relatively small amount of investment and the recent global recession affecting the industry, China has become the world’s second largest market in air transport. The country is now increasing attention and investment in building and renovating airports, especially feeder airports. In the National Civil Airport Development Plan, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has envisioned 244 civil airports by end of 2020.
B. Sectoral and Institutional Context
3. Air transport is China’s fastest growing mode of transport. In 2011, China’s air passenger throughput reached 621 million and cargo tonnage reached 11.6 million tons. By the end of 2011, China had 47 airline companies, 38 state-owned and 9 privately owned. The total number of scheduled air routes had reached 2290, with 1847 domestic and 443 international routes; the domestic routes cover more than 175 cities3. China is now the world’s second largest air transportation market in traffic volume after the United States4. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2005-2010), China’s civil aviation infrastructure received investment of RMB250 billion (USD38 billion), which is equivalent to the combined investment of the previous 25 years. As of 2010, China had 175 civil aviation airports, of which 33 were built in the last five years. International routes provide regular air service to 110 cities in 54 countries. Using the airport service radius standard of accessibility within 100 km or 1.5 hours of ground transport, the existing airport network can now serve 70 percent of counties, and their catchment area covers 76 percent of total population and 91 percent of the economy measured by total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Decades of emphasis on safety has also paid off with China now recognized globally as a provider of safe air transport.5
4. CAAC is the administrative institution responsible for civil aviation in China. CAAC’s responsibility includes planning for airports, setting domestic and international aviation tariffs, managing airport construction fees, setting and monitoring safety and security standards, administering air traffic control and conducting civil aviation airspace
1 National Airport Statistical Bulletin of 2011, Civil Aviation Authority of China, March 2011. 2 Series of Reports on Economic and Social Achievements of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan: Outstanding Achievements of the Transport Industry, National Bureau of Statistics of China, March 2011. 3 Air Transport Sector 2011 Yearly Report, Civil Aviation Authority of China, May 7, 2012. 4 However, China’s civil airport network is still very sparse compared to the 567 Federal Aviation Administration certified airports in the USA. 5 The last serious air transport accident in China was in August 2010, with no serious accidents in the six previous years. 1 planning. In recent years, CAAC has carried out major administrative and regulatory reforms for better functioning and development of the civil aviation sector in China. In 2001, 10 major airlines were consolidated into 3 super carriers (Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines) to optimize resource allocation. Foreign investors were allowed in 2002 to invest in airport construction, including terminal buildings and runways, with up to 49% share of equity. Domestic airlines were allowed in 2004 to invest in airports to a maximum of 25% of total investment. Airport ownership has been transferred within the CAAC from the central to the provincial level since 2002.
5. China plans to build 69 additional airports bringing the total civil airports to 244 by 2020, which would require an investment of RMB450 billion. Once the investment program is completed, all provincial capitals, major cities, and major tourism destinations will be connected by a functional hub, trunk, and feeder airport network. The overall capacity of air transport infrastructure will be significantly improved. By that time, more than 80 percent of counties will be within 100 km or 1.5 hours by ground transport access to an airport, and the total air transport catchment area will account for 82 percent of total population and 96 percent of total GDP6.
6. Despite the large airport infrastructure development, the provision of efficient airport service is still lagging behind, in part because, (i) air transport resources and function between airports in some regions are not optimized, (ii) air transport is not integrated with local urban planning and surface transport planning. Further, while some large airports have reached their capacities, some feeder airports are underutilized. The number of feeder airports and feeder airlines is relatively small and geographical coverage is yet to be optimized. Issues such as poor connectivity with regional airports, poor operational efficiency, and low utilization of feeder airports are restraining China from building a mature and efficient air transportation network. The 12th Five Year Plan of China Civil Aviation recognizes these problems and aims to deepen the reform of airport operation to optimize service provision, and to integrate and configure capacities of airports.
7. Generally, small and regional airports lack the critical volume of traffic to be commercially profitable. Recognizing that the availability of air transport is a catalyst for regional economic growth, governments finance shortfalls from public funds or provide financial cross-support from larger airports; some are maintained by industry (e.g., manufacturers) or the local private sector (e.g. chamber of commerce). This places even greater pressure to ensure that investments are appropriately sized and mechanisms for optimizing revenue generation are realized. In 2007 and 2008, CAAC introduced several subsidy policies to support small and medium airports and feeder airlines7. In addition, starting from 2011, passengers will be exempted from airport construction fees if their flight departs from or arrives at a feeder airport.8
6 See CAAC sector report of “Overall Arrangements of National Civil Airports, 2007”. The relationships between airport overall arrangements and the rapid expansion of high speed rail are not mentioned in the sector report and as such, once high speed rail access is taken into account it is possible that the number of airports constructed to be less. 7 “Measures of Subsidies for Small and Medium Civil Airports” and “Measures of Subsidies for Feeder Airlines”, CAAC, 2007. “Interim Measures of Subsidies for Small and Medium Civil Airports” and “Interim Measures of Subsidies for Feeder Airlines”, CAAC, 2008. 50% of the airport construction fee collected by CAAC is used as the funding of the subsidy grants. In 2007, 123 airports and 258 feeder air routes got the subsidy. 8 “Notice on the Airport Construction Fee and Tourism Development Fund Policy and other Related Issues”. Ministry Of Finance, 2011. 2
8. In a June 2009 workshop on innovation, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission, identified, air transport as an area where the World Bank could bring value. Three principal areas of cooperation were identified: transport modal integration, environmentally friendly airport design and operation, and economic and financial sustainability. The Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport project was identified as the first Bank -financed air transport project in China.
9. The project involves various stakeholders including the government agencies from the national level, including CAAC and NDRC, and the local level, including the Shangrao Municipal Development and Reform Committee (MDRC), Shangrao Municipal Finance Bureau (MFB), Transport Bureau, and Municipal Planning Bureau. An airport management office was established in 2010 for the preparation of the project. In addition, the Shangrao Municipal Government (SMG) has recently established the Shangrao Sangqingshan Airport Corporation, which will be responsible for the operation of the airport airport once construction is completed.
10. Aside from the primary project development objective of improving air transport connectivity, the Bank’s involvement will bring value and innovation to China’s air transport sector in following four major areas described below. It is intended that the project will enhance operations by setting up a proper business model, improving the identification of targeted passenger groups, designing proper air routes, incorporating environmental sustainability to reduce carbon emissions as well as energy saving. If successful, it is anticipated that this project will become a demonstration project for the development of future feeder airport projects in China.
(a) Multimodal transport integration: the airport will be integrated into the transport network of Shangrao city and North Eastern Jiangxi region through the provision of technical support to develop an integrated transport plan for the region.
(b) Environment sustainability: the project will adopt the most environmentally sensible and practical decisions in airport design and operation with a view to developing a ‘green’ airport.
(c) Economically sustainability: the project scope is designed to ensure proper demand forecasts and appropriate airport sizing to meet the demand by taking into account the existence of high-speed trains and other modes that will compete or complement with air transport.
(d) Financially sustainability: an appropriate business and operational model will be adopted for the airport to make it a model of financial sustainability for China’s other feeder airports, including through identifying other non-operating revenues (such as commercial development and airport economic planning) to reduce the fiscal burden for SMG. In addition, the project will support key operational elements, like route design, environmental management during operations, targeted passenger groups, marketing and negotiating with airline companies to enhance the financial viability of the airport.

C. Higher Level Objectives to which the Project Contributes
11. The World Bank’s China Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) for FY2013-16, discussed by the Board of Executive Directors on November 6, 2012, is aligned with China’s 12th FYP. The proposed project directly supports one of the three strategic themes of the CPS—supporting greener growth. The promotion of green airport technology and a sustainable financing and operational model will advance the CPS and 12th FYP objectives for green and inclusive growth.
II. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
A. PDO

C. Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design
21. The following lessons have been drawn from the preparation and implementation of the Bank’s airport projects experience in other countries, as well as broader transport projects experience in China:
(a) Full support and diligence of management within the implementation entity and a strong Project Management Office (PMO) are critical;
(b) Good collaboration with national and local authorities, including the CAAC and NDRC, are important to ensure that national government policies are reflected in project design and operation;
(c) Inclusion of the views of the public in the selection, planning and design of investments improves the quality of the completed infrastructure; and
(d) The quality, completeness, and relevance of the design, as well as a strong diligent construction supervision during construction, can contribute significantly to controlling final costs.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements
22. The Shangrao Municipal Government (SMG) has established a Project Leading Group (PLG) to provide strategic leadership, policy guidance and institutional coordination on project preparation and implementation. The PLG, headed by a Vice Mayor, is comprised of leaders and directors from relevant municipal government agencies, including the Shangrao Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Finance Bureau, Planning Bureau, and Environment Protection Bureau.
23. Under the leadership of the PLG, the Shangrao Municipality established the Project Management Office (PMO) for the day to day coordination of project implementation. It is responsible for the project proposal submission and clearance, and submission and clearance of the feasibility studies in liaison with the functional departments of the provincial government. It is also responsible for daily coordination during the project implementation.
24. The Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport Company Limited (SSAC) was established by Shangrao Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on 25 July 2011. The Director of the PMO is also the Chairman (Legal Representative) and the operating head of the SSAC. At the current moment the staffing of the PMO and SSAC are the same people. Currently, there are four divisions in the SSAC including (a) administration division (three persons); (b) engineering division (four persons); (c) financial division (two persons); and (d) audit office (one person). During airport operation, a fifth division, operation division, will be added, with four persons (air traffic control, navigation, weather, and business operation).
25. The PMO/SSAC will be responsible for the day-to-day project management, including procurement, contract management, resettlement, social and environmental safeguards, loan disbursement requests, fiduciary compliance and evaluation, results monitoring, and reporting. The PMO/SSAC will be the primary coordinating body responsible for communicating with the World Bank, ensuring that implementation is consistent with all relevant World Bank policies and procedures. The PMO/SSAC will also serve as the executing agency, responsible for implementing all TA studies.
B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation
26. Annex 1 lists the main outcome indicators for the project, as well as the principal results indicators for each component. The PMO will coordinate with relevant agencies in collecting data required for monitoring and evaluation of outcomes. The PMO will review the results on the basis of various progress reports, and take appropriate corrective actions as needed. The reduction of travel time between Shangrao and major cities after the airport’s opening will be monitored as one indicator. The detailed calculation methodology is presented in Annex 3.
C. Sustainability
27. Project design addresses two aspects of sustainability: environmental and financial sustainability. The airport design will introduce “Green Airport” design principles to China to ensure that airport construction and operation takes into account environmental matters
7
and reduction in the use of energy. On the completion of airport construction, a local civil aviation bureau will assess whether the airport meets the expected Green Airport design and operation. In addition, CAAC has an incentive and award program for excellence in airport design.
28. The project will address financial sustainability in three ways: (a) establishing an operational model that would reduce costs and improve efficiency; (b) proactive marketing of services and negotiation with airline companies to attract more business to Shangrao; and (c) promoting non-operating revenues through commercial activities and airport economic zone planning from which additional revenues could be generated to support airport operations.
V. KEY RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Stakeholder Risk L Implementing Agency Risk - Capacity S - Governance M Project Risk - Design M - Social and Environmental M - Program and Donor L - Delivery Monitoring and Sustainability M Overall Implementation Risk M
B. Overall Risk Rating Explanation
29. The project has an overall risk rating of Moderate. The main risk is the capacity of the PMO, which is new to airport construction, as well as to working with the Bank. To reduce this risk, the PMO has engaged several external agencies (design institutes, procurement agent, and environmental and social consultants). In addition, the project will finance a Project Management Consultant to assist the PMO in managing and coordinating various activities during construction. The second main risk is the coordination with other financing source, namely the CAAC and NDRC, which are expected to provide substantial counterpart funding. Both CAAC and NDRC are committed to the project, and both have already confirmed their commitment to provide funds for the airport development. In addition, there is a moderate risk that the Green Airport concept may not be fully implemented, and this will be mitigated through close follow up and dialogue with SMG to show the potential benefits of the concept.

VI. APPRAISAL SUMMARY
A. Economic and Financial Analyses
30. The Shangrao airport is expected to serve the Shangrao Municipality and northeast Jiangxi Province region. It will carry 500,000 passengers in 2020 and connect Shangrao with other parts of China with the most efficient transport mode. The airport will substantially shorten the long distance travel time, provide job opportunity, facilitate trade and tourism, and support economic development in the region. It will also complement the planned high-speed construction in China, which will also serve Shangrao through two lines. The market segment analysis showed that airline services will continue to be competitive with long-distance travelers and people with high-value of time.
31. The project will have an economic internal rate of return of 17 percent and its economic return would likely be higher since the estimation of benefits is mainly based on the passenger travel time savings, and does not take into account the additional economic development activities to be generated from the project.
32. Financial Analysis was conducted for the operation phase of the airport, and found that the airport will have a positive NPV of net revenue, especially if depreciations are not included. It must be noted that due to various reasons, the majority of small airports in China cannot cover the operation cost and capital cost with the revenue. Government subsidy is required to ensure financial viability. Therefore, the municipal financial capacity needs to be assessed carefully to ensure that initial operating subsidies to the airport can actually be sustained.
33. Municipal financial capacity - The capital cost of the project will be financed through equity, national aviation and development grants, and the municipal government investment. It is expected that the airport will generate sufficient revenue to cover operational costs but the municipal government will bear the debt repayment (principal plus interest). According to the municipal financial data, in general Shangrao’s municipal finance capacity appeared appears to be sound, with the following highlights.
(a) Shangrao's economy performed well during the last four years (2008-2011). Its annual GDP growth was 13.6% a year and 13.1% in 2011. The Fiscal revenue also grow during the same period.
(b) Shangrao receives inter-government transfers from higher government to augment its own revenue; The airport project cost is about 1,050 million RMB (US$ 167 million equivalent), including 250 million RMB (US$ 40 million equivalent) in national grants and the funding by SMG. Therefore, the cost to the municipal government is approximately 800 million RMB (US$ 127 million equivalent). Assuming 4 years of implementation period, the annual investment would be 200 million RMB (US$ 32 equivalent), which is 0.18% of the 2010 GDP. As the annual municipal GDP will continue to increase in the next few years, this percentage would certainly be lower.
B. Technical
34. The Shangrao Municipal Government engaged the Design Institute of China Civil Aviation Authority, an institute with experience in Chinese airport design to design the
9
Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport. The location of the airport was determined by CAAC and other Chinese relevant authorities based on terrain and operation airspace condition from several alternative proposals, as well as environmental and social considerations. The reserved land size can meet the requirement for mid-term and long-term airport development and the airport size, location and configuration were approved by the aforementioned agencies.
35. The proposed project will support the construction of a new Category 4C9 feeder airport in Shangrao, which can accommodate aircraft like A319 and B737; with the potentials to be upgraded10 to Category 4D11, which can accommodate A310 and B767 type aircraft. By then, Shangrao airport will be able to accommodate short-range and medium- range commercial aircrafts. The airport will include a runway of 2,400 meters, a terminal building, a precision approach Category I instrument landing system and airfield lighting system, and an apron area to hold 5 airplanes. The baseline traffic is 130,000 in 2010 and the traffic projection in 2020 is 500,000. An airport access road is also part of the project, although it will not be financed by the Bank. Implementation is proposed to commence in 2013 and will take 3 years to complete.
Green Airport Design
36. The technical design takes into account the requirements of a “green airport” design to reduce energy use and optimize resources. The following are key considerations included in the project design to ensure the airport is built to a “green airport” standard. Additional measures will be identified during detailed technical design that will be taken into account further during construction and operations:
37. Energy efficient architecture and airport layout design. The airport will be designed with energy efficient elements such as natural ventilation, double glass facades and large roof overhangs for solar shading, while energy efficient airport layout would provide the most direct route between runways and terminal gates to reduce taxiing time and delays.
38. Alternative power sources. Alternative energy sources would be used for selected facilities using solar-generated electricity, diesel or natural gas.
39. Ground Aircraft Auxiliary Power Unit: This system uses equipment on the ground and function as an external power resource to the aircraft for electricity and ventilation supply to reduce the fuel burn, the local air quality and noise in the apron area, including: (a) Fixed Electrical Ground Power located at the terminal gate to provide electricity power to the aircraft, and (b) Pre-Conditioned Ai unit to provide heated or cooled ventilation air to the aircraft.
40. Energy efficient equipment and infrastructure.

This system will include (a) storm water penetration collection system, which will be built using the storm water penetration ditch technique, and (b) storm water treatment and reuse, where by the polluted water will be treated and collected by a 3000 m3 water tank to built under the parking lot, which will then be used for washing the pavement, plant watering and restroom flushing
C. Financial Management
42. Jiangxi Provincial Finance Bureau (JPFB) will establish and manage the Designated Account and oversee the utilization of Bank loan proceeds. A financial management capacity assessment has been conducted by the Bank and actions to strengthen the Project’s financial management capacity have been agreed with the relevant implementing agencies. The FM assessment has concluded that with implementation of the proposed actions, the financial management arrangements will satisfy the Bank’s minimum requirements under OP/BP 10.02. Annex 3 provides additional information on financial management.
D. Procurement
43. The PMO/SSAC is responsible for the management of procurement including preparing the procurement plan, preparing all procurement documents such as bidding documents and, request for proposals. The PMO/SSAC is also responsible for all processing of procurement such as advertising, issuance of procurement documents, responding to requests for clarification, bid evaluation, handling complaints , and obtaining all domestic approvals and communications with the Bank including requests for Bank prior review. In addition, the PMO/SSAC will be responsible for contract management and for maintaining records on procurement and contract management. The key risks identified from the procurement capacity and risk assessment include: (i) the domestic practice of inviting bids on the basis of basic designs rather than detailed designs; (ii) inaccurate cost estimates; (iii) possible delays in processing procurement because of differences between Bank procurement guidelines and domestic procurement practice; and (iv) inadequate contract management practices. The assessment however concluded that the PMO/SSAC has adequate capacity to carry out procurement activities for the proposed Project. During project preparation, the Bank provided training in procurement under Bank-financed projects to officials who will be responsible for processing and approving procurement in the project. The PMO/SSAC has also employed a Procurement Agent with experience in procurement under Bank-financed projects. Measures to further strengthen the Implementing Agency’s procurement capacity and to mitigate potential procurement and contract management risks have been agreed and will be implemented during project implementation (see details in Annex 3). The PMO/SSAC has prepared a procurement plan for the project, which would be available on the Bank’s website, as well as the project website.

E. Social (including Safeguards)
44. The project would require the acquisition of 150 hectares of village land (including 26 hectares of cultivated land) which will affect some 2500 people from 500 households. The project would also require the demolition of 5760 m2 of existing structures which will affect 76 people from 16 households. Project construction will also interrupt local rural roads and irrigation systems, and during airport operation, the noise impact to local people might not be avoidable. Following the relevant Chinese laws, regulations and World Bank OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement, the PMO has prepared a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) to address involuntary resettlement due to airport construction, rural roads and irrigation system restoration. A Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) has also been prepared since the exact locations of the airport road and other facilities have not yet been finalized. The RAP and RPF were disclosed to the local people on September 20, 2012 and the English versions of the documents were sent to the Infoshop on October 30, 2012.
45. Consultation and participation. Resettlement planning followed a participatory process, which included at least 50% women in each consultation. Affected villagers and various government agencies participated in the socio-economic survey, impact census, inventory and formulation of the compensatory and livelihood rehabilitation plan. Project information, relevant government policies and regulations were broadly disseminated through village meetings in the project areas.
46. Gender Mainstreaming. Women’s views and concerns on resettlement were collected and analyzed through public consultation. Women were consulted about the rehabilitation of rural roads and irrigation systems; and the potential noise from the airport. It is anticipated that increased transportation, commerce and tourism development will create additional jobs for women in the area, as the nature of jobs created (supporting terminal operations and small business activities) will be attractive to the women in the area. In addition, as part of the “green airport” design, the travel needs of women and people with disability are explicitly being taken into account, including providing more and accessible toilets for women, as well as making the terminal and associated facilities accessible for people with disability.
47. Grievance redress. A mechanism has been established for grievance redress. Grievances can be filed both orally and in writing. Resettlement offices at all levels are required to hire at least one female staff person to handle grievances, from women in particular. Local government and non-governmental organizations such as the Department of Civil Affairs, Women’s Federation will also supervise the resettlement process to guarantee the rights and interests of the affected people, especially women. Starting at the village level, grievances can be elevated to the county/district or city level if they are not resolved at the lower level. The Affected People may also file cases in court. All grievances and their resolution will be recorded. The grievance redress mechanism has been disclosed to the local population and will be further disseminated through the Resettlement Information Booklet.
48. Monitoring and Evaluation. The resettlement offices will be responsible for internal monitoring. A team from Wuhan University has been appointed to undertake independent monitoring of the resettlement program. The monitoring scope, targets, indicators, procedures, methodology and reporting requirements are described in the RAP.
12
49. A Resettlement Policy Framework has been developed in accordance with relevant local laws and regulations as well as World Bank OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement for activities not fully identified, including the airport access road and associated facilities. The RPF describes the overall legal framework, planning principles, procedures, compensatory and rehabilitation approach, consultation and participatory requirements, grievance redress mechanisms, organization and monitoring arrangements.
F. Environment (including Safeguards)
50. Environmental Assessment: The Jiangxi Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport Project is classified as a “Category A” operation under the Bank OP 4.01. The project triggers two World Bank environmental safeguards policies: Environmental Assessment and Physical Cultural Resources.
Environmental Impacts of Construction
51. Construction will cause temporary impacts on the surrounding environment, including vegetation loss, soil erosion, noise of machinery and trucks, vibration, dust, wastewater, and land acquisition and resettlement issues. Construction impacts on neighborhoods and the natural environment will be minimized (or avoided) through better environmental planning and integration with civil works design. Environmental specifications have been prepared to mitigate construction related impacts, and will be incorporated into bidding documents and civil work contracts, and will be enforced by construction supervision.
52. Impacts on Surface Water. Construction of the airport will occupy 1.6 km2 of land and create an impervious surface. Impacts of rapid runoff from this impervious area would be minor because the land area for airport construction is limited compared to watershed area. Care will be taken during design not to disturb the hydrology of the area. The airport design will divert and pre-treat storm water drainage from areas of potential leaks and spills of fuels through use of oil/water separator, and contaminated water will be discharged to a wastewater treatment station in the airport. Therefore, the storm water discharge through the stormwater drainage network is not expected to negatively impact on aquatic environments.
53. Natural Habitats and Forestry. The project will not cause any significant conversion or degradation of natural forest or natural habitats. The project area consists of mainly brush, grassland, woodland, villages, farmland, and water ponds, has been deeply influenced by human activities. The project will occupy 104ha of second-growth trees where common species (e.g. camphor, pines, and firs) are found in the sub-tropical humid monsoon climate zone. Field surveys have confirmed that there is no endemic or unique vegetation, nor any endangered animal species. About 3,722 small camphor trees in the airport site need to be transplanted in accordance with the transplantation plan included in the EMP.
54. Physical Cultural Resources. Field surveys have found 137 household graves within the airport site. Compensation for the relocation of household graves is included in the RAP. Chance find procedures are included in the EMP.
55. Impact on Irrigation System. Within or in the vicinity of the airport site, there are 36 small water ponds, which are used for irrigation of paddy fields. About 20ha (300mu) paddy
13 farms will be affected by the project. Restoration measures for the affected irrigation system have been proposed, including: (a) land compensation (in the RAP); (b) renovation of existing irrigation ditches; (c) adding more storm water discharge outlets at the airport; and (d) change of crop patterns.
56. Re-routing Rural Roads and Power Electric Lines. The airport will interrupt two local rural roads and two existing power lines. Project design includes new routings for the interrupted roads and the electric lines. The EMP includes measures to mitigate the anticipated minor environmental impacts.
57. Airport Access Road, Associated Utility Infrastructure, Construction of Temporary Access Road, Burrow Pits, Disposal sites. Environmental screening shows that the construction of access road and associated utility pipelines will not affect any critical habitat or forestry area. The anticipated impacts are considered minor and general mitigation measures have been included in the EMP. Specific EMPs will be prepared based on the EMF after the precise alignments for these facilities are determined.
Environmental Impacts of Operation
58. Noise and Vibration Impacts. It is estimated that airport related noise will have a slight impact on 210 households and some moderate impact on seven households. Measures for noise management include: (a) alternative analysis for airport sites and avoidance of flight path over densely populated city areas; (ii) selection of flight equipment that are in compliance with international standards; (iii) sound insulation of buildings exposed to aircraft noise above acceptable levels; and (iv) restricting development of noise-sensitive buildings in the vicinity of the airport, i.e., approximately 3 km to each end of the runway, and 0.5 km to each side of the runway.
59. Air Emission. Assessment of air emission from airport related activities indicates that in 2020, aircrafts will discharge 1.02 tons of SO2, 19.83 tons of CO, 5.47 tons of Non- methane Hydrocarbon (NMHC), and 12.04 tons of NO2. The EA concludes that air emission from airport operation has insignificant impacts on the ambient air quality.
60. Waste and Wastewater Management. Airport operations will generate nonhazardous solid waste (268 tons/a), sludge (20 tons/a), spent oil (0.5tons/a), and wastewater (58m3/d). The solid waste and sludge will be sent to Shangrao municipal sanitary landfill for final disposal; and spent oil to a qualified company for treatment. Wastewater will be treated by a wastewater treatment station (10m3/h) at the airport. Due diligence has been conducted confirming that the performance of these waste and wastewater treatment facilities is compliance with the domestic requirements.
61. Risk Management. The major risks associated with the project are the fuel storage facilities and the gas filling station which may lead to fire accidents and fuel leakage. The project has developed an emergency preparedness and response plan for potential accidents/risks which may be caused by airport operation (e.g. fire, explosion, plane crash, and safety breaches). Regular drill will be conducted, and hazardous materials will be managed to prevent accidental releases, fire, or explosions. EMP also presents an outline for the health and safety plan for the airport operations, and proposes specific measures to protect worker’s health and safety (see EMP Annex III).
14
62. Environment Management Plan and Environmental Management Framework. A stand-alone EMP has been prepared addressing all issues identified in the EIA. The EMP includes mitigation measures, institutional arrangements, a budget for the implementation and environmental monitoring plan. An EMF has been prepared, setting out the guidelines and procedures to assess the environmental impacts associated with the airport access road and associated utility infrastructure. Based on the EMF, specific EMPs will be prepared after the precise sitting alignments for these facilities are determined. 63. Public Consultations and Information Disclosure: In accordance with Bank Safeguard policies and Chinese regulations, public consultations were conducted from January to September 2012, including public consultation meetings and questionnaire survey, with project affected persons and other stakeholders such as village associations, schools etc.. The consultation on the EIA TOR was conducted in January 2012, and consultation on the draft EA documents in September, 2012. Their opinions and concerns have been taken into account in the EA process and project design. The EA safeguards documents were locally disclosed at village associations on September 23, 2012 and at local websites on September 29, 2012 through announcements published on the local website and newspaper. The safeguard documents were sent to the Bank InfoShop for disclosure on October 30, 2012.

Annex 2: Detailed Project Description CHINA: Jiangxi Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport Project
Background
1. Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport is included in the CAAC’s National Civil Airport Development Plan for 202012. The municipality of Shangrao is located at the junction of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Anhui province, and it connects the Yangtze River Delta economic zone, the Pearl River Delta economic zone, and the Western Taiwan Straits economic zone. With famous tourism destinations such as Wuyuan, Sanqingshan (UNESCO Natural Heritage), and Poyang Lake, Shangrao accommodated 29.15 million domestic tourists and 170,000 international tourists in 2011, its tourism income was more than RMB 21.54 billion and tourism foreign exchange exceeded $63.78 million.
2. The proposed airport is located at Houmentang Village of Zunqiao Town, about 8 km south of Shangrao City. This location was selected from five candidate sites based on terrain, the length of construction of access road, operation airspace clearance requirement, earthwork, wind direction, utility supply convenience, and environmental and social considerations.
3. The catchment area for the airport will include the areas within 100 km of radius or 1.5 hours of ground transportation. In this area, the Shangrao and Yingtan municipalities are included, totaling a population of 8.5 million and a total area of 26,000 km2. In 2011, the Shangrao municipality GDP reached RMB 111 billion, a 13% increase from the previous year, and Yingtan had RMP 42 billion for a total catchment GDP of RMB 144 billion. Special agriculture, mineral resources and tourism are the mainstay of Shangrao’s economy, while non-ferrous metals, new energy, electrical and mechanical optics, new building materials have become the city’s four leading industries.
4. The proposed Shangrao Sanqingshan airport is of significant importance to the economic development of Shangrao Municipality and the northeastern Jiangxi Province. It will facilitate the growth of the region’s tourism resources and complement the comprehensive transport system. In the project’s pre-feasibility study, the passenger traffic13 for 2020 is estimated to be 500,000 with a 14% annual growth rate. Cargo tonnage is estimated to be 3,000 tons by 2020. Given the large population in the catchment area and the booming regional tourism that has reached 29.15 million visitors in 2011, the forecasted 500,000 passengers by 2020 appears reasonable. The pre-feasibility study concludes that the airport will be financially sustainable if the annual passenger flow is above 350,000. It is estimated that, during the early opening years after the airport becomes operational, financial subsidies from the municipal government will be needed to maintain the airport operation.
5. Although there are 4 civil airports located within about a 200 km radius of the project (Jingdezhen, Wuyishan, Huangshan and Quzhou), the accessibility to these other airports by the Shangrao targeted passengers is restricted by mountainous terrain which results in longer travel time than suggested by the “crow-fly” distance. Therefore the proposed airport will
12 The airport originally was planned as Gandong airport in the CAAC’s National Civil Airport Development Plan for 2020, airport location was set at Sanqingshan after site selection. 13 Terminal passenger traffic is the total of number of passengers arriving and departing through the terminal. 18 provide easier access to Shangrao residents and visitors, ensuring the airport will remain the preferred choice.
Project Components
6. The proposed Project will have two components: (a) Airport Infrastructure Development; and (b) Institutional Development and Capacity Building.

10. Linked Activity. The Shangrao Municipal Government (SMG) will be constructing an access road (4.65 km) to link the proposed airport with the nearest main road, as well as other utility infrastructure. The access road and related facilities will be fully financed by SMG outside of the proposed project description. Nonetheless, the safeguard policies agreed for the proposed project will apply for the access road, as well as the other civil works associated with the airport.

5. The SMG has established the Shangrao Sanqingshan Airport Corporation (SSAC) as the airport project owner. The company’s registered capital is RMB 50 million provided by Shangrao state-owned assets management committee. There will be five divisions in the company as below: Administration Division: 3 staff members; Engineering Division: 4 staff members; Financial Division: 2 staff members; Audit Office: 1 staff members Operations Division: 4 staff members

6. The operations division will be responsible, among other things, for air traffic control, navigation, weather, and aircraft maintenance.
Results Monitoring and Evaluation
7. The PMO/SSAC will be responsible for collecting the data for reporting on the Results Framework in Annex 1. The Project Management Consultant to be hired under the project will assist the PMO/SSAC in collecting the data and coordinating with relevant agencies to gather the data required for monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of outcomes and intermediate outcomes indicators shown in the Results Framework.
8. For outcome indicators, data will be collected through surveys once construction is completed and airport starts operations, although the milestones during project implementation will be followed up during project supervision. For intermediate indicators, the Quarterly Progress Report will be used as a basis to update the Results Framework.
9. There will be two Outcome Indicators – travel time savings between Shangrao and major destinations and recognition of Shangrao Airport as “Green Airport”.
Calculation of the travel time reduction indicator
10. The reduction of travel time between Shangrao and major cities after the airport’s opening will be monitored as one indicator. The shortest travel time before the airport’s opening is defined as the elapsed travel time by the fastest travel options exist at present, which mainly is a combination of flight to the nearby airport and ground transport. The shortest travel time before the airport’s opening will be the direct flight time between Shangrao and the major cities.
11. However, since the airport is a type 4C airport, direct flight between Shangrao and major cities may not be available every day. Thus the shortest travel time after the airport’s opening can not be simply calculated as the direct flight time. Considering this situation, an index of weighted average travel time with the evaluation period unit of one week is proposed to evaluated the travel time as follows:
∑ 7 where is the weighted average travel time between Shangrao and a certain city, is the shortest travel time on day in one week (either by combination of flight to nearby city and ground transport, or by direct flight after the airport’s opening).
12. For further explanation of the index, the following will take the travel between Beijing and Shangrao as an example. Before the airport opens, the shortest travel time between Beijing and Shangrao is 5 hours which includes 2 hours flight to Nanchang and 3 hours ground transport of driving from Nanchang airport. After the airport opens, the shortest travel time between will be 2 hours by a direct flight when it is available. Assuming the flight between Beijing and Nanchang is available every day, and the flight between Beijing and Shangrao is available 3 days per week after the airport opens. In other words, 3 days in a week the shortest travel time is 2 hours, and on the other 4 days the shortest travel time will
24 be 5 hours. Thus the weighted average travel time between Beijing and Shangrao after the airport opens can be calculated as follows:
5 4 2 3 3.7 7
Comparing to the before the airport’s opening which is 5, the percentage of travel time reduction is 26%.
13. Therefore, the indicator for total travel time reduction between Shangrao and major cities is defined as follows:
