Introduction 1.1 Brief Description of Project Hebei "Urban Environment Project consists of three sub-projects, namely Urban Environment Project of Tangshan City, Wastewater Treatment Project of Shijiangzhuang City and Urban Environment Project of Handan City. Urban Environment Project of Handan City itself includes two parts, West Wastewater Treatment Project of Handan City (Wastewater Treatment Project) and Urban Water Supply System Project of Handan City (Water Supply P'roject). 1.1.1 Brief Description of Wastewater Treatment Project The project includes: * West Wastewater Pipe Network Conveyance System 24KLmof new trunk sewage pipeline is to be built with DN300-DN1200 tubes, and 10Km of new branch pipeline will be built using DN300- DN4DO tubes. * North Wastewater Pump Station Reconstruction Project The pump station covers 1,716Mzof land space, the designed treatment capacity of the pump station is 60,000m3/day. The reconstructing area is 1,246 M2 . * West Wastewater Treatment Plant Project The tbeatment capacity of the plant in the near future (to the year of 2000) is 100,000m3/day, and the project covers 253.74 mu of land space including the land used for the second phase of the project. The treatment plant is located in the north of Handan City. The plant is bounded on the east by Tiexi Street, faces the Guoyuan Road on the south, and lies to the south of Beihuan Road. * East Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Conveyance System A new set of sludge treatment system will be added to East Wastewater Treatment Plant to make the actual treatment capacity of the plant reach its designed capacity of 100,OOOm3/day. The project does not involve land acquisition. Wastewater Treatment Project is to start in June 2000,to be completed in December 2003 and to go into operation in January 2004. 1.1.2 Brief Description of Water Supply Project The project is to alleviate the tense situation of insufficient water supply, and its designed water supply capacity is 100,000m3/day. Yuecheng Reservoir is the water source of the project. The project mainly includes three parts: * Water Delivery Project The site of water entrance is located in Yuecheng Reservoir. The way of gravity flow is adopted. The prestressed reinforced concrete pipe is used for water delivery, and the pipeline amounts to 56Km long. * Water Purification Plant It is located in Tiexi Tap Water Plant and equipped with a set of sludge treatment system. The designed treatment capacity is 100,00Om 3/day. The purification process is as following: 2 Tube Mixing-+Mechanic-chemical Reaction--Precipitating Tank-+V Fi]tering Unit * Regional Water Supply Pipe Network Corollary and Reconstruction Project Originally, 62Km of pipeline will be laid. However, because Handan Road and Zhanbei Road have not come into being and because the anmount of water used in these areas is not large, the Water Supply Project of the two roads is arranged to be carried out in the future plan. It has been approved by Urban Environment Project Office of Handan City, the unit in charge of the construction and Planning Department of Construction Committee of Handan City. Therefore, 54.28 KM of pipeline will be laid. The land acquisition and relocation for the project are to start in April 2000. Water Supply Project is to start in July 2000, to be completed in December 2003 and to go into operation in January 2004. 1.2 Areas iffected by and benefit from the Project 1.1.2Areas Affected by and benefit from Wastewater Treatment Project Wastewater Treatment Project involves 3 counties (districts), 4 townships and 10 villages in Handan City. Totally, 253.74 mu of land will be requisitioned for the project, while there also will be 242.Omu land for temporary land use. 4,027.5m2 of houses will be demolished. 2 enterprises and 2 shops will be affected by 3 the project. The total population adversely affected by the project is 222. The area that will benefit from the project, lying to the west of Jingguang Railway, is located in HIandan City. The area is bounded on the east by Shuguang Street, faces Qin River on the north and is situated to the south of Zhaoyang Road. Due to population growth and economic development, the quantity of sewage of Handan City has already exceeded the load capacity of the existing water disposal system. As a result, Fuyang River, flowing through this region, has been seriously polluted. Thus does harm to the urban environment and people who living in this region. In addition, the pollutants carried Fuyang River will result in great loss
