Tangshan Wastewater Pipeline Network of The South District Project Preface This is a modified RP and the original report has approved by ADB in 2001. Tangshan City Sewage Treatment Project consists of (i) the sub-project of Extension of Xin District Wastewater Treatment Plant and (ii) the sub-project of pipe network system. Among which, the pipe network system is divided into two parts by the railway in Xin District of Tangshan City, namely the north part and the south district. In the original RP, the people affected by south district of network system are somewhat more. To minimize the amount of resettlers, Tangshan City Sewage Treatment Company optimized the plan of south district of network system (detailed situation can be seen in section 1.3.2) and finally changed the route of trunk network of south district. So, it has to investigate the conditions of changed part have been investigated and concerned materials in original RP have now been updated in this version. As the plan of sub-project of Extension of Xin District Wastewater Treatment Plant and the north part of network system is not changed, this modification version only updated the situations of south district network system. I Introduction A Brief Description of Project Hebei Hai and Luan Rivers Drainage Area Wastewater Treatment Project consist of four sub-projects, namely Wastewater Treatment Project of Tangshan City, Wastewater Treatment Project of Zhangjiakou City, Wastewater Treatment Project of Chengde City and Wastewater Treatment Project of Baoding City. In the old resettlement plan, Wastewater Treatment Project of Tangshan City includes two parts: Extension of Xin District Wastewater Treatment Plant. The designed treatment capacity of Xin District Wastewater Treatment Plant is 33,000m3 /d, and the scheming capacity is 80,000 m3 /d. The extension plant is surrounded by agricultural lands and lies in the northwest of Xin District (Fengrun County), Tangshan... In the north lies the Huanxiang River, in the south there is a wet land which leads to the plant. , The extension plant covers 120 Mu of land space, lying on the southwest of the old wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater pipe network system. In original RAP, the Wastewater pipe network system is divided into two parts by the railway in Xin District of Tangshan City. The length of north wastewater pipeline is 12.72km, through which wastewater flows into the wastewater treatment plant, along the main pipe in Xincheng Road and Hongqi Road, also along the part-pipe in Huanxiang River. The south wastewater pipeline is 19.48km, through which wastewater gathered by south main pipeline flows into wastewater treatment plant along the Bingma Road. At present, the Wastewater pipe network system is still divided into two parts by the railway in Xin District of Tangshan City. The north part is not changed. The south part has changed. To minimize the amount of resettlers, the pipeline network of the south district will be changed to west outer ring of Fengrun District, beginning form Fengshun road in the east, along the west outer ring, 23m distant from the road, extending to Cao Xueqin Street, and finally leading to wastewater treatment plant in the north. The full length of the pipeline is 7.5 kilometers. The present Fengshun Road and Ningguo Road, where motor vehicles are prohibited, are 1085m in length. D1000 concrete pipes are laid in visible grooves in the roads, with an average of 4.0m under the roads. Earth dug from the grooves is transported to and piled at the temporary site. It is about 5.8km from Ningguo Road along west outer ring to Cao Xueqin Road, and is manually constructed with pipes. For every 60m, there
