General 1.1 Background Liaoning, located in the northeast of China, is a key industry base in the country. Shenyang, Panjin, and Fushun to be covered by the Liao River Basin Project (LRBP) are relatively prosperous cities in the province. However, environmental issues, especially municipal wastewater treatment, have been ignored for decades in Liaoning. Up to now, there is only one operating municipal wastewater treatment plant and limited industrial treatment capacity. It is estimated that total untreated wastewater from point-source in liaoning reaches 2.1 billion tons per annum, containing over 643,000 tons of Chemical Oxygen Demand. As a result, all of the river sections within cities in Liaoning exceed Category V of surface water quality standard in China, the bottom- line standard classified for beneficial use, putting millions of people at health risk. In 1998, Liaoning Provincial Government has prepared a profound environment clean up plan-" Ninth-five Year Plan and 2010 Long-term Program for Water Pollution Control and Abatement in Liao River Basin" and has been approved by the State Council. Meanwhile, State Council has identified Liao River Basin as one component in the " Three Rivers and Three Lakes" which are badly polluted and given urgent top priority for wastewater treatment. 1.2 EIA Progress In accordance with national and WB policies, Liaoning Provincial Government has requested the WB for bilateral support for LRBP. Since July 2001, the World Bank mission has visited Liaoning for several times to discuss with Liaoning Government to provide guidance for project preparation. The city-level Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Reports has been completed in accordance with national standard and the World Bank's requirements. On such basis, a basin- wide EIA report has been prepared by Liaoning Provincial Scientific Research Institute for Environment Protection in accordance with national standard for international financial organization financed project and the Operational Directive (January 1999 edition) of the Bank. 1.3 Basis for preparation of EIA and Environment Management Plan (EMP) * Water pollution control and abatement law of P .R. China * Environment management regulations for construction project issued by the State Government, 1998. 11 * Category identification for environment protection for construction project, issued by the State Environment Agency, 1999. 1 * Strengthening the management of environmental impact for projects to be supported by loans from international financial organization, jointly issued by State Development and Planning Committee, Ministry of Finance, People's Bank of China and State Environment Agency, 1993.3 * Technical guideline for environment impact assessment, HJ/T 2.1-2.3-93, T 2.4-95, issued by State Environment Agency * World Bank Operational Directives. Class A Project determination by the World Bank * Regulations for water pollution control and abatement of Liao River Basin, issued by the Standing Committee of Liaoning Congress, 1997 * Ninth-five year plan and 2010 year long-term program for Liao River Basin water pollution control and abatement, issued by Liaoning Government, 1998 * Surface water function zoning of Liaoning Province, issued by Liaoning Government, 1996. 8 February 2002 Seconid Liao River Basin, Project En virolimelit Afanagement Plan * Project Feasibility Study Reports and city-level EA Reports of these components 1.4 Criteria applicable to EIA and EMP 1.4.1 Environmental Quality Standard (1) Surface Water * Class V and Class IV of "Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water" (GHZB 1-1999) is applied to the Xi River, Hun River and Shuangtaizi River respectively; * The "Water Quality for Agricultural Irrigation" (GB5084-92) is applied to SS.
