Summary of the World Bank Loaned Project 2.1 Survev The World Bank loaned projects consist of six subprojects distributed in three cities in Shandong province. There are two projects in Jinan, one is the Jinan Yellow River Water Supply Pondage Reservoir project, the other is Jinan Waste Water Network project. The other two projects are Yantai 500 Heating Network project in Yantai city and Weihai No.3 CHP Plant in Weihai citv.

The total and effective capacity of the reservoir are 41.2 and 34.2 million m3, respectively.The inflow volumeis 8.65 to 9.65 m3/s with the average depth of 7.13 m. The length of the box dam is 1 1.63 km. 2.2.2 Jinan Waste Water Network Project This engineeringis the conveyancesvstem of Jinan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The total area is 108 km2, whichis the servicescope of the plant. 2.2.3 Yantai 500 Heating Netvork The project is the constructionengineering of heatingnetwork which is used to transport the heat producedin HuangbohaiCHP Companyto Zhifu District. The length of planned main pipelinenetwork is 30.22 km. There are 42 exchangestations. 2 pump stations and one boiler house of peak load boiler. 2.2.4 Weihai No.3 CHP Plant Project This plant is a newlvbuilt plant with 3x75t/h high pressure fluidized bed boilers and 2 sets of turbogenerator.The engineeringincludes the CHP plant, steam pipelinenetwork-, heat exchangestation and hot-water pipe network. 3. Natural and Social Conditions in Project Cities 3.1 Natural Conditions 3.1.1 Natural Conditionsof Jinan Jinan is located in 116012- l 7" 44 E, 36002- 370 04'N with the Mount Tai in its south and YellowRiver in its north.

Predicted Impacts on Environment and Mitigation Measures Taken 4.1 Jinan Yellow River Water Supply Pondage Reservoir Project 4.1.1 Predicted Impactson Enviroiunent 4. 1. 1.1 Impacts on Environment in Construction Phase A. Impacts on Ecological Environment The project will be constructed in the Northern Stretch Embankment of Yellow River. The earth work will affect surrounding agri-ecological environment. B. Noise and Raise Dust Transportation, vehicle and machines will bring about noise and dust, which will affect the environment to certain extent. C. Migration 5 There are 1186 persons of 300 households need resettlement. The migration and land occupation will bring about certain impacts on living and industrial activities. 4.1 .1.2 Impacts on Environment after Operation The forecasting results of salinization and desertification of soil after operation show that after adopting the seepage prevention measure, digging penetration prevention ditches at the foot of reservoir's and sedimentation basin's dam, the secondary salinization can be avoided. After using of the sedimentation basins and sand stockvards, the secondary ploughing is an effective method to prevent desertification.
