GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 The highwayBaoTou to D6ngShengis a sectionof the National Road 210 From NanNing-BaoTou in Inner Mongolia.The highwayBaiyincagan to Fengzhen is a sectionof the NationalRoad 208 Erlian-Hekou in InnerMongolia. Its constructionhave important political and economic significancein developingeconomic, cultural, hygienic and educationalundertakings in minority nationalityregions and in promoting the stability and unity on the northem borderterritory of country. In April. 1996. the CommunicationDepartment of Inner Mongoliaentrusted the EnvironmentalScience Research Institute of Inner Mongolia ( with class A evaluation certificate issued by the National EnviromnentalProtection Bureau) to carry out the work of the environmentalimpact assessmentof the projects.The EnvironmentalScience Research Institute of Inner Mongoliacompleted the on-the-spotsurvey required by the environmental evaluation outline by June. 1996. And in July. 1996. the National EnvironmentalProtection Bureau and the Inner Mongolia EnvironmentalProtection Bureau organizedthe evaluationand examination of the environmentalevaluation outline. EIA was made ready in July. 1997 based on a great quantityof work. (on-the-spotinvestigation, monitoring, analysing, forecastingand public investigation). 1.2 Aims of Working Out the Project 1) Through investigationand assessmentof the natural, ecologicaland social environmentsof the to be built project areas, to analyze and forecastthe various effectsand extentspossible for the project to bring about to the environmentsduring and after the project constructionperiod, so as to expound and verify the feasibiliesof the constructionand routeschemes of the projectfrom environmentprotection angles. 2)To put forward practical environment protection measures, plans of environmentprotection and of environmentmonitoring so as to reduceor eliminateunfavorable effects brought about by the project. 3) To provide scientificbasis for departmentsof environmentaldesigning and of environmentprotection managementand policymakers. 4) To cause harrnonioussurrounding economic development of projectspot areas. 1.3.
