The line is an important component of a multidirectional framework system, in which, 8 state trunk lines run down from the north to the south and another 8 extend from the east to the west. It is also an important component of the express passenger transport system of China, in which, 4 lines run from the north to the south and another 4 extend from the east to the west. The two systems also handle most of the material and personnel interchange in the regions of East, South and Southwest China. The ZheGanLine Railway, together with the Beijing to Kowloon Railway, forms the fastest and most convenient landway route between the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. Refer to Drawing 1-1 for line direction. The existing ZheGanLine Railway has a total length of 942.64km. After reconstruction, the railway will have a total length of 916.067km, which is 26.58km shorter than the original length. The designed speed will be 140-200Km/h. There will be 29 sets of tunnels to be used or built with a total length of 11222 linear meters, which is 1.3% of line length. One set of 936 linear meter long existing tunnel will be used while 24 sets of 9449 linear meter long double track tunnels and 4 sets of 1837 linear meter long single track tunnels will be built; 109 sets of 26774.32 linear meter long bridges will be built, including 12 sets of 15019.45 linear meter long extra-large bridges, 86 sets of 11421.4 linear meter long large or medium bridges and 11 sets of 333.47 linear meter long small bridges. 1439 sets of 32390.1 linear meter tunnels will be built. There are totally 43309.7mu in acquisitioned land along the line, including 29076.9mu newly acquisitioned, 6281mu railway existing re-used land and 7951.8mu temporary land, yard. Earthworks for the entire line totals such as borrow yard and soil rejection 4 3 6404.95x10 4m 3 , including 5491.69x104m for subgrade works and 913.26x10 m for 4 2 station yard works. Area of building removal is 151.0889x 10 m and total investment for the Project is RMB 13.94 billion Yuan. Environmental assessment work is very important in preparation process for planned construction project in order to forecast potential impact of planned construction project on social environment and natural environment and to establish mitigation plan. EMP has been carried out as part of environmental assessment work. During process of project railway location and environmental assessment, consider various lines, expense and minimum environmental impact and confirm a promoted proposal at last. ) itI6 - M v iait I 3 OD THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEYA DESIGNINSTITUTE Environmental Management Plan on Recon,stucted Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electijkaton Speedup Renovation Project 1.2 Laws, Regulations and Technical Standards 1.2.1 Laws and Regulations In the process of preparation of EIA document, relevant domestic laws, regulations and EIA guide rule as well as safeguard policies issued by the World Bank all serve as the basis of compilation, which are listed as followed: 1) Environmental ProtectionLaw of the People s Republic of China; 2) Environmental Impact Evaluation Law of the People s Republic of China; 3) Law of the People s Republic of China on Water and Soil Conservation; 4) Lav of the People s Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Pollution From Environmental Noise; 5) Law of the People s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution; 6) Law of the People s Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution; 7) Law of the People s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste; 8) Forestry Law of the People s Republic of China 9) Law of the People s Republic of China on the Protectionof CulturalRelics; 10) Decree ofAgricultural Land Protection 11) State Council Order No. 253; Ordinance of Environmental Managementfor the ConstructionProjects 12) State Environmental Protection Administration of China Order No. 18; Environmental Protection Management Procedures for Electromagnetic Radiation A>jA ,i 'g _ aq 9 iTt rz 4 THE SECONDRAILWAYS SURVEYA DESIGNINSTITUTE Project Environmental Management Plan on Reconstructed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Electriflcation Speedup Renovaton 13) State Council Document GF [2000] No.31; "State Councils Circulation Concerning Further Advancement of the Nation-wide Construction of Environmentally-FriendlyRouteways.
