I C.N., C. P I - Chapter 1 General 1.1 Origin of EIA Assignment Starting at Lianyungang, a large harbor in the east part of China, and ending at Huoerguosi, a port at the boundary at the west boundary, Luoyang-Sanmenxia expressway is one of the 12 main frames of highways planned by the Government. With a total length of 3980 km, it passes through Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shannxi, Gansu and Xinjiang provinces (autonomous region). It is also one of the 'two longitudinal and two lateral' trunk roads proposed by the Ministry of Communications to be practically completed by the year of 2000. With a length of 630 km, the section distributed in Henan Province is a trunk road from east to west parts of the province as well as the backbone of the provincial economic development. Out of this length, Kaifeng-Zhengzhousection is alreadyopen to traffic while Zhengzhou-Luoyang section is under fast construction. As expected, Kaifeng-Luoyang expressway will be almost completed by the end of 1995. In YJJ No. 10 11993) "Notice on Assignment of Preparatory Works of Key Highway Construction Projects in 1993" issued on January 19, 1993, HenanProvincial Department of Communications required that preparatory works of Luoyang-Sanmenxia road be completed as soon as possible. When completed, this road will connect with the would-be completed Kaifeng-Luoyang expressway in the east and will link with Weinan-Tongguan expressway under active preparations in Shannxi Province in the west. As a result, all- round benefits of expressways will be brought to full play, which will greatly promote opening to the outside world and economic development of Henan Province. With a total length of 134.214 km, Luoyang-Sanmenxiaexpressway is estimated to cost a total about 4000 million RMB, including 200 million USD loans (1700 RMB) applied to source from the World Bank, with the rest will be self financed by Henan Province or subsidized by the Ministry of Communications. As required by relevant environmental management provisions for construction project of the Government and Henan Province as well as EIA provisions for World Bank-financed projects, a full-scale EIA is required to be completed for this road. As entrusted by Henan Provincial High-grade Highway Construction Authority", Henan Provincial Environmental Protection Institute is held responsible for EIA of this road (see Attachment I for Letter of Assignment). 1.2 Project Location, Size and Alignment Henan Province is located in the center part of China in the middle reaches of the Yellow River (see Map 1-1). The proposed road is situated in the west part of the province, on the south bank of the Yellow River (see Map 1-2 for the project location). This road will be built into a two-way four-lane road with a total length of 134.214 km according to standards for highways in heavy-hillyland areas. This road passes through Luoyang, Mengjin, Xinan, Yima, Mianchi, Shanxi and Sanmenxia. To avoid the settlement zone near Guanyintang in Shan-Mi:n mine area, two alignment schemes are proposed in the feasibility study report, one is aligned south and the other is aligned north of Guanyintang. Basedon comprehensive comparative analysis (see Chapter 6 for details), the south alignment scheme is recommended herein. 1* 1.3 EIAPurpose The purpose includes: 1) looking into physical eco-environment,agricultural eco- environmentand socioeconomicbackground along the proposedroad; 2) analyzingand predictingenvironmental impacts to be posedin both constructionand operation periods of this road; 3) environmentallyjustifying the feasibility of this road and its alignment scheme;4) proposingpractical environmental impact-offsetting and mitigatingmeasures, providing environmental protection organization establishment requirements and environmentalmonitoring programs; and 5) carryingout economicevaluation and analysis.
