Dryland Sustainable Agriculture Project Using ADB Loan in Shandong Province Annual Environmental Impact Report Subproject: Boxing Golden Seed Co., Ltd. Reporting period: from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 Submission date: December 31, 2015 Shandong Province Boxing PMO I. The analysis of the main environmental impact and protection measures 1. Dust: the dust was generated in civil construction, construction materials loading and unloading, stacking process and so on. We had taken many measures to reduce the dust. For example, adopt the sprinklers regularly, cover the scattered building materials. The dust had little impact for the construction period was temporary. After completing construction, the impact would go away. 2. Noise: the noises were mainly generated by construction machinery, transport vehicle. Project construction was not allowed between 9:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.. In addition, maximize the adoption of low-noise machinery. The construction site was more than 5 km away from residential areas. Therefore, it had little impact. 3. Wastewater: the wastewater was generated in the domestic sewage of the workers. And the impact on the surface water was very small. 4. Solid waste: the solid wastes were mainly rubble, stones, soil, building materials packaging boxes, bags. The solid waste would be cleaned up and transported uniformly by the Sanitation Department. So it had less environmental impact. II. Proposed corrective plan In the implementation process, the company strictly enforced the laws and regulations of the State Environmental Protection, which guaranteed no basic problems in environmental protection. Our company had taken many measures to strengthen the safety of staff environmental awareness. For example, organize safety production training regularly. III. Comprehensive evaluation of environmental impact The project was well implemented with pollutants control measures and the "three simultaneous" system requirements. The environmental management system was sound and the institution was perfect, which could meet the requirements of environmental protection. Wastewater, noise and other pollutants generated in the production process had been discharged under concerned standards.

Reporting period: from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 Submission date: December 31, 2015 Shandong Province Boxing PMO I. Environmental risk mitigation measures in the project construction, and the progress of 1. Construction of production base Construction of production base mainly includes land leveling, irrigation and drainage project, which builds a large-scale dry farming, forage intercropping demonstration and vegetable protection. The implementation of the project increases the vegetation coverage, promotes the water drainage and storage capacity, and improves ecological environment within the project area and surroundings. 2. Vegetable processing project 2.1 After the disposing of the boiler exhaust, it will meet the boiler air pollutant emission standards, which certainly will have less impact on the surrounding atmospheric environment. 2.2 In this project, clean water (without any chemical detergent) precipitated in the sedimentation tank will be recycled without emissions, so will the cooling water cooled in the cooling pond and boiler dust water precipitated; blanching water is used for farm compost and sewage for factory greening. 2.3 The solid waste produced by staff will be cleaned up and transported uniformly by the Sanitation Department; vegetable scraps will be used for farm compost; boiler slag will be sold out as building materials. In this way, solid waste has less environmental impact. 2.4 This project takes precedence in the application of advanced low-noise equipment. It adopts damping measures against vibration equipment, installs sound insulation doors and windows, and gives a reasonable planning for the factory greening, etc. Thus it effectively reduces the equipment noise impact on the surrounding environment. Therefore, the environmental indicators of the project can achieve or meet the requirements of the relevant standards. II. Problems The project implementation process basically has no problems on the environmental protection. III. The data collected See schedule: environmental objectives, targets and management programs monitoring record sheet. IV. Proposed corrective plan In the implementation process, the company strictly enforces the laws and regulations of the State Environmental Protection, which guaranteed no basic problems in environmental protection. Our company runs organic agriculture. One of the most important concepts in business is environmentally friendly, so we attach great importance to environmental protection. So there generally exists no violation of relevant laws and regulations.

Reporting period: from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 Submission date: December 31, 2015 Shandong Province Gaomi PMO I. Environmental risk mitigation measures 1. Environmental risk mitigation measures in agricultural production base 1.1 Improve the agro-ecological environment in the project area After the implementation of the project, many measures have been taken to improve agricultural ecological environment of the project area, like the promotion of biological control technology, organic fertilizer, strictly control the use of pesticides and fertilizers. The project has significant ecological benefits. 1.2 Improve water utilization By building water cellars and water-saving irrigation, agricultural irrigation efficiency has improved and agricultural drought resistance has enhanced. 2. The processing projects environmental risk mitigation measures 2.1 Environmental protection measures in the process of project construction First, reduce dust. Second, control construction noise. Project construction was not allowed between 11 p.m. and the six o'clock next day in the Area within 200m from the civilian house. In addition, maximize the adoption of low-noise machinery. If it must be constructed at night, measures should be taken to reduce noise of the construction machinery. At the same time, set up the temporary sound barrier device around the construction site or citizen residences to ensure the acoustic environment quality. Third, waste disposal in the construction site. Promptly clean up the domestic waste, do not arbitrarily throw them. 2.2 Environmental risk mitigation measures after the project Operation The discharge of wastewater in the project production process is mainly from equipment clean water and ground clean water and there are no other harmful ingredients. So it will not cause harmful effects on the surrounding environment. II. Environmental monitoring progress 1. Environmental monitoring in the agricultural production base According to the requirements of the environmental impact assessment, the environmental monitoring of the agricultural production base is mainly against atmospheric, soil and irrigation water quality monitoring. Entrusted by the Gaomi PMO, Gaomi Environmental Protection Agency is in specific charge of monitoring the atmosphere three times a year, soil and irrigation water quality once a year. 2. Environmental monitoring of the processing project According to the requirements of the environmental impact assessment, the environmental monitoring of the processing project mainly aims to the industrial "three wastes" emissions. Entrusted by the Gaomi project management office, Gaomi Environmental Protection Agency is specifically responsible for monitoring once per quarter. III.
