1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1. INTRODUCTION

As early as 2009, Hongya County started implementing “water diversion” with

World Bank financing. The project passed World Bank’s appraisal in August 2010.

The county government undertakes the “water diversion” (diversion canal) project.

The total length is 9200m and the estimated investment is RMB 104,816,600. The

development unit is the planning and construction bureau of Hongya County. The

construction organizations are Zhejiang Provincial No. 1 Water Conservancy &

Electric Power Construction Group Holdings Co., Ltd and Hunan Lyulin Municipal

Landscape Engineering Co., Ltd. The project is implemented smoothly. The

preliminary work including land requisition, demolition and displacement and

resettlement was completed. Currently, construction 9km diversion canal has been

completed. Integrating with regulation of the south and the north moats, this project

can promote reconstruction of old areas of Hongya. Landscape along the canal can

be improved. Land-use pattern of the country can be optimized, and the environment

quality can be improved.

In 2013, Hongya County (Hongchuan Town) Environmental Improvement

Subproject of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by World Bank Loans was

commenced, with the construction items including drainage works, river channel

improvement works, and water diversion works. Currently, the Subproject has been

basically completed, and the water quality and environmental benefits have been

effectively improved. Hongchuan Town Subproject, located downstream from the

Project, is the improvement and extension of Phase I Project.

World Bank was granted to Hongya County Component of Sichuan Small

Towns Development Project just based on the above background condition. The

purpose is to improve and extend “water diversion” project of Hongya County. In

addition, it aims at enhancing life quality of both Hongya residents and tourism

population by improving municipal infrastructure of Liujiang Town. In June 2014,

Hongya County Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Bureau filled out the

screening schedule for Hongya County Component of Sichuan Small Towns

Development Project By World Bank Loans. In August, Hongya County Housing

and Urban-Rural Construction Bureau compiled Project Proposal for Hongya County

Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project By World Bank Loans.

Besides improvement and extension water conversion project of Hongya County,

municipal infrastructure improvement project of Liujiang County, another key

tourist county was included in the proposal.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

MEASURES

3.1 Major Environmental Impacts

The project belongs to low pollution type municipal project and has obvious

environmental benefit and social benefit, but it will also generate some local

environmental problems inevitably during the construction and operation periods.

I. Main impact analysis during construction period

1. Ecological environmental impact analysis

(1) Impacts on plants during construction period

① Impacts on vegetation deterioration and land productivity

The permanent land occupation for project construction will tie up and destroy the

vegetation in the project area, and the construction activities will make the vegetation

habitat destroyed and make the biological individual lose growing environment; the

degree of impact is irreversible. It can be seen from the results of vegetation distribution

status investigation, the vegetation affected by the project directly mainly includes shrub

and grass.

During the project construction process, the temporary construction sites mainly

include construction workshop and temporary .silt stock yard. The type of temporary

construction sites is dry land, and the temporary land use will have a short-term direct

impact on the land and aboveground vegetation. The type of vegetation greatly affected is

mainly vegetation. However, the temporary construction sites of the project will set up

within the permanent land range, and the temporary occupation of Hongchuan subproject

will be used as the green area of river landscape, thus the temporary constriction works of

this project will not cause any impacts on the plants.

Above all, the destruction on plants during project construction is mainly the

permanent land occupation, and it is for a long term and unrecoverable.

② Impacts on ecological structure

Human activities during construction period, such as paving of subgrade, excavation

of commercial street pile foundation, rolling compaction of construction machineries,

20

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

trampling of constructors and so on, will have direct destructive effect on shrub and grass

vegetation around the construction operation area, so as to make the biological diversity

of the community reduced.

The construction area has the relatively stable agricultural ecological system and

shrub-grass ecological system formed in many years. According to the field investigation,

within the project impact range, the plants affected by the project are the general and

common species, with wide growth range and strong adaptability. The loss of

aboveground vegetation will have a certain impact on the existing ecological system, but

since the lost area is relatively small to the project area, the project will adopt the

approach of vegetation greening and temporary construction land vegetation recovery to

make up part of biomass loss. Therefore, the construction activities will not impact the

stability and integrity of ecological system within the project area.

(2) Impacts on landscape during construction period

The impacts of project land occupation on landscape mainly show up as the impacts

of project on regional vegetation and geomorphologic landscape.

(1) Impacts of permanent project land occupation on landscape

The destruction of permanent project land occupation (mainly refers to land

occupation of road and water supply projects) on original aboveground vegetation is

unrecoverable, so the construction has a significant impact on the vegetation landscape

within the project area, which mainly shows up as surface excavation, vegetation

destruction, terrain fragmentation of construction operation area, and will product an

extreme vision contrast.

(2) Impacts of temporary project land occupation on landscape

The temporary project land occupation mainly refers to the land occupation of

temporary soil heap yard and construction workshop. Because most of the temporary

projects are project implementation services, which request for good terrain and traffic

conditions, as well as good land and vegetation conditions; but the construction has a

large disturbance on the aboveground vegetation and terrain within the operation area,

mainly manifested as follows: industrial and domestic wastes polluting the environment,

dust emissions polluting the air, too much dirt retention on plant branches and leaves

likely to cause burns or mechanical injury and produce visual pollution. But because the

21

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

temporary project land has the soil layer with good fertility, it is easy to be reclaimed and

utilized; after the project construction is completed, the temporary construction land area

will be carried out the landscape green construction as the landscape project

implementation area; therefore, the temporary construction land occupation has little

impact on landscape along the line.

2. Atmospheric environmental impact analysis

(1) Construction dust

① Pollutant source analysis

The raising dust pollution generated by construction vehicles during construction

period is relatively serious and the impact range is very large. The raising dust is a kind

of falling dust with smaller particle size (10~20μm) and the particle size distribution of

dust on the unpaved road surface (soil) is as follows: the dust with particle size less than

5μm accounts for 8%; the dust with particle size of 5~30μm accounts for 24% and that

with particle size more than 30μm accounts for 68%. Therefore, the road under

construction is easy to cause dust emission, but compared to the dust generated from

lime-soil mixing, the harm of raising dust is smaller and its impact cycle is shorter. It is

available to adopt the watering measures to reduce the raising dust pollution.

The excavation of earthwork and earth filling during construction period are the

main engineering actions that generate the raising dust.

The lime-soil mixing during road building process will generate a large amount of

dust and it can be divided into two processes according to the mixing modes, namely road

mixing and station mixing. Road mixing refers to mix at the construction site; station

mixing refers to transport the finished product to the construction section by vehicles

after centralized mixing. By contrast, the impact of station mixing is great and wide, and

the pollution scope can reach up to 150m down the wind; while the pollution of road

mixing is small and narrow, but the polluted line is long. Therefore, during construction

period, it is required to select the appropriate lime-soil mixing mode according to the

actual situations, to reduce TSP pollution.

② Control measures of raising dust pollution

22

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

1) When the wind speed is above Category-4 and it is easy to produce raising dust, it

is suggested that the construction unit shall suspend the earth excavation and take the

effective measures such as covering the windrow and wetting, to reduce the raising dust

pollution;

2) The construction wastes shall be cleaned and transported in a timely manner and

the wastes cannot be cleaned and transported temporarily shall be taken the measures

such as covering; the vehicles for transporting the substances that are easy to produce

dust, such as sand, stone, cement and earthwork, shall be covered tightly and it is strictly

prohibited to sprinkle and leak.

3) After the project is completed, it is required to clean the construction site timely.

For the construction site, except cleaning in a timely manner, it is also necessary to

afforest or revert to cultivated land, to plant the crops.

4) It is required to select the lime-soil mixing mode reasonably according to the

actual situations and water to reduce the raising dust pollution.

5) During the excavation, drilling and demolition processes, it is required to water to

keep certain humidity for the operation: for the loose and dry surface soil in the

construction site, it is also necessary to water to control the dust; when backfilling the

earthwork, it is necessary to water appropriately if the surface layer soil is dry, to prevent

dust flying.

6) It is required to strengthen the management of backfilling earthwork storage yard,

to develop the earthwork surface compaction, regular water spraying and covering

measures; the undesired soil and waste slag of building materials shall be carried away

timely and shall not be stored for a long time.

7) The earth-moving trucks and building materials transport vehicles shall be

equipped with the anti-spill devices according to the regulations and the loading shall not

be too full, to guarantee that there is no scattering during transportation process; and the

running route and time of transport vehicles shall be planned well, to avoid driving within

23

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

the sensitive areas such as downtown area, traffic concentration area and residential area

as far as possible.

8) The transport vehicles shall be canopied and shall be washed out before doing out

from the loading and unloading sites, to reduce the carried soil of vehicle wheels and

chassis scattered on the road surface.

9) The soil scattered on the road surface during transportation process shall be swept

out timely, to reduce the raising dust during running process.

10) During construction process, it is strictly prohibited to burn the waste building

materials as the fuels.

(2) Construction waste gas

The waste gas during construction period of this project mainly comes from the

oil-fired waste gas generated by construction machineries and transport vehicles; its

quantity generated is small and it belongs to discontinuous and dispersive emission, so its

impact cannot be considered basically.

(3) Asphalt fume

During the pavement construction stage of the proposed road for the subproject in

Liujiang Town, the asphalt fume is mainly caused in the course of asphalt fission refining,

stirring and road paving, and the asphalt fume discharge in the course of asphalt refining

is largest. The main poisonous and harmful substances in the asphalt fume are THC,

phenol and 3.4-benzopyrene. The impact range of asphalt fume pollution is 100m down

the wind. The asphalts required for the project are commercial asphalts purchased at local

and no asphalt mixing station is set up. For the requirements of environmental impact

assessment, it must be loaded and transported by canned asphalt dedicated vehicles, to

avoid sprinkling along the way and polluting the environment. Therefore, the emission

concentration of asphalt fume is low and can meet the maximum acceptable emission

concentration of asphalt fume in the Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants

(GB16297-1996), so it has little impact on the surrounding environment.

(4) Silt foul smell

The silt from desilting works during construction period of Hongya Town

subproject will be stored temporarily, and the temporary storage of silt is likely to

24

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

produce foul smell and have impact on regional ambient air quality. So the requirements

of this assessment are as follows: the temporarily stored silt shall be allocated and

transported as soon as possible after treatment and the construction party shall spray the

disinfectant and vegetation liquor for the temporary silt storage yard every day, to reduce

the pollution impact of foul smell. In addition, the temporary silt storage yard shall select

the zone far away from the residential areas, to avoid impact of foul smell on residents.

3. Environmental impact analysis of surface water

(1) Impact of construction waste water

Waste water in construction period of the Project is mainly from construction

waste water and sanitary sewage. Among the waste water, construction waste water,

which contains a certain amount of sediment, is from construction machinery

cooling water and washing water, construction site cleaning, construction material

cleaning, concrete pouring, maintenance, flushing, etc; sewage from construction

workers mainly contains organic pollutant, ammonia nitrogen, SS, etc. Besides,

surface runoff water on the construction site during raining season contains a certain

amount of soil and suspended substances in high concentration.

1) Sanitary sewage and treatment measures

As there are 100 persons, including construction workers and site management

personnel, during the peak of construction period, water consumption rate would be

5m3/d on the basis of 50L/person •d, while sanitary sewage yield would be 4m

3/d on

the basis of sanitary sewage rate of 0.8.

Sanitary sewage during construction period of the Project can be treated by

renting treatment facility in the local house.

Therefore, sanitary sewage during construction period would not have obvious

impact on local environment.

2) Construction waste water and treatment measure

The main pollutant of construction waste water and surface runoff water in

raining season is sediment; the concentration of suspended substances is

comparatively high, and the pH value indicates alkalescency; the suspended

substances would be separated by building sedimentation pool; the waste water

would not be discharged but recycled after sedimentation treatment; the

25

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

sedimentation sludge would be regularly cleaned out, then transported to

construction waste disposal site and buried.

(2) Impact of construction method

① Hongchuan Town – River Regulation Works

The impact of river regulation works of the Project on water environment is

mainly from dredging waterway and river bank construction. Dredging waterway of

moat in Hongchuan Town will cause turbulence in the water; as a result, it will cause

suspended substances and influence water quality of water body. However, because

the Project adopts dredging waterway section by section and the construction time is

relatively short, the impact will be temporary and fade away as the works is finished.

Moreover, cofferdam construction technology will be used in dredging works, all the

construction processes will be preceded inside cofferdam except that building

cofferdam will cause disturbance to the river bed; thus, the construction processes

are basically separated from the water body. Besides, the function of water body of

waterway is flood discharge and irrigation, so construction works would have little

impact on water quality of water body. The river bank construction works will be

built section by section; construction materials will be piled away from waterway;

separated board will be built between riverside and waterway in section under

construction to prevent impact on water quality and function of water body caused

by slipping materials.

Therefore, after the above measures have been taken, the methods of dredging

waterway and river bank construction are rational, which won’t change function of

body of moat in Hongchuan Town and have little impact on water environment.

② Liujiang Town – Bridge Construction

There is no water contact pier in bridge construction of the Project, so no water

contact construction involves in the whole bridge pier construction. Bridge piers of

this construction adopt pile foundation, where drill construction will be employed

for pile foundation of bridge piers. Since bearing platform and body of pier will be

built through cast in place, certain of suspended substances may be brought in

surface water body when the raining water flushes. But such impact is comparatively

temporary. The assessment recommends avoiding bridge pier construction in rainy

26

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

days as far as possible to reduce suspended substances in surface water caused by

raining water flushing. Moreover, the upper structure of main bridge will be

installed by hoisting precast concrete unit, and the construction of upper structure of

main bridge in the Project will cause no pollution to water environment. The upper

structure of the approach bridge will introduce precast concrete unit, so tha t

construction will have little impact on water body.

4.Environmental impact analysis of noise

① Noise source

Noise in construction period mainly points to noise generated by various

construction machines, equipments and construction transportation vehicles during

operation. Construction of the Project needs various types of machine. According to

the survey, frequently used machines at present mainly include excavator, loader,

agitator, etc. The value of noises generated by various types of construction

equipment during operation is showed in Table 3-1.

② Impact estimation of noise during construction period

Construction noise source can be deemed as point acoustic source. Based on

noise attenuation mode of point acoustic source, noise value during construction

period in different distance to noise source can be estimated. Estimation mode as

followed:

27

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

Lp = Lpo - 20lg(r/r0) - ΔL

In the formula: Lp – sound pressure level in r (m) distance to noise source, in dB

(A);

Lpo - sound pressure level in r0 (m) distance to noise source, in dB (A);

r – distance to noise source, in m;

r0 – 1m distance to noise source;

ΔL – different decrement (except for divergence attenuation), in dB (A). ΔL

of outdoor noise is deemed as 0.

According to the estimation formula, noise value in different distance to noise

source during various types of construction machines in full operation is calculated.

The results are showed in Table 3-2.

(1) Noise from single construction machine in daytime conforms to standard

limited value in 30m distance at most to source, while in 300m distance at most in

nighttime.

(2) Noise from multiple construction machines in daytime conforms to standard

limited value in 60m distance at most to source, while in 350m distance at most in

nighttime.

(3) Environmental protection targets within assessment area of proposal project

are mainly 6 residential areas, 1 nursing homes and 1 health center. Construction in

daytime will cause interruption to residents and patients, especially the noise impact

in nighttime will be much greater. The significant factors to be considered during

construction period are noise pollution to the residents within 60m distance to

construction area and protection management measures. Therefore, the assessment

considers that certain protection measures should be taken to reduce impact on

sensitive spots around construction area during construction period, for example,

using wooden acoustic board and building construction wall to insulate noise.

Requirements of assessment: construction in nighttime is prohibited; construction

block fence must be strictly set in construction section around sensitive spots to

insulate noise effectively.

5. Impact analysis of solid waste

Solid waste during construction period mainly involves two parts. One part is

garbage from construction area, including waste construction materials, package

materials, household garbage, which mainly contain waste plastics, sand and soil,

vegetable leaves, vegetable stems, glass, etc. Such solid waste usually exists around

structures like storage yard and construction site. The other part is sludge from dredging

waterway works in Hongchuan Town. Such solid waste usually exists in temporary

storage yard. According to the result of sludge survey, all specifications of bottom soil

meets the requirements of Secondary Standard stipulated in Soil Environment Quality

Standard (GB15618-1995) and no metal content exceeds the standard. Thus, a part of

drained sludge would be used to repave in wet land of project area for planting and

landscape modeling; the rest will be packed in woven bags and transported to Hongya

29

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

County by airtight vehicles for landscape planting of municipal road construction.

If solid waste is stored or treated in an inappropriate way, it will directly affect

crops and vegetation, and interfere with agricultural production; if solid waste is

covered with dust after long-term storage, the raised dust blown by the wind will

cause impact on nearby residents. Garbage placing along the construction area will

help mass propagation of germs, mosquitoes and flies, causing potential risk of local

contagion diseases happening and spreading. Stink smell from garbage will affect

residents’ life and landscape environment. Since the Project involves in construction

along the river, assessment requires: solid waste during construction period should

not be stored in places contacting water body, not mention abandoning in the river.

Therefore, during construction period, such impact could be reduced or prevented

through enhancing construction management and timely cleaning, transferring and

disposal after construction is completed.

Meanwhile, inappropriate transfer method for solid waste during construction

period will also cause negative impact on surrounding environment. Requirements of

assessment: in transferring construction garbage, vehicles must be capped with dust

screen to prevent spattering and raise dust during the trip and flushed when they are

driven out of waste loading site. When the vehicles arrive at the unloading site, the

waste must be emptied. Construction units should carefully study transportation

route for waste soil and waste slag with traffic authorities and environmental

protection authorities to bypass environmental sensitive spots like mass residential

area. The transfer should be done in nighttime as much as possible.

Solid waste during construction period would cause little impact on

surrounding environment as above measures are taken.

Ⅱ. Main impact analysis during operation period

1.Environmental impact analysis of atmosphere

After the implementation of the Project, raise dust pollution along the road

and bridge will be reduced. But during operation period, raise dust caused by

running vehicles and exhaust will still cause certain air pollution. The main pollutant

includes CO, NOX and PM10. The amount of pollutant discharged will increase

proportionately along with traffic volume and involve with type and condition of

30

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

vehicles. As traffic volume increases, the impact of pollutant NO2 of vehicle

emission will grow. Compared with similar roads, the estimated average daily

concentration value of NO2 or PM10 at a distance of 20m away from the road

centerline could meet requirements of secondary standard value of Environmental

Air Quality Standard under the circumstance of maximum forward traffic volume in

the Project.

Treatment measures for road and bridge works of Liujiang subproject to

reduce air pollution are recommended as follow:

1. Enhance greening measures and specifically optimize greening tree species,

greening structure and layer to improve control effect and reduce impact of gaseous

pollutant on surrounding environment.

2. Enhance traffic administration and stipulate speed range to reduce accident.

3. Water regularly and clean to reduce raise dust.

4. Restrain vehicle speed and strictly carry out pursuant to stipulated speed of

the Project.

5. Strictly prohibit dangerous chemicals transportation vehicle pass through.

Besides, main waste gas source during operation period of newly built

eco-parking site of Liujiang subproject is vehicle emission from surface parking lot.

Main pollutant of automobile emission includes CO, NO2 and HC. Emission volume

is related to quantity and parking frequency of vehicles. The surface parking lot of

eco-parking site has open topography that helps vehicle emission spread, along with

large portion of greening in eco-parking site making vehicle emission have little

impact on environment.

2. Environmental impact analysis of surface water

(1) Road and bridge works

Waste water during operation period of proposed road of Liujiang subproject is

mainly from rainfall, surface runoff caused by road surface flushing. After road and

bridge enter into operation, impact of surface rainfall runoff, as major pollutant, on water

environment mainly reflects on vehicle emission, tire friction particles, raise dust on the

surface and oil drops flowing into or crossing river along with surface rainfall to pollute

water body. The concentration of surface runoff pollutant depends on multiple factors,

31

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

such as rainfall capacity and rainfall duration, traffic volume and atmosphere pollution

degree, interval between tow rainfall, width of road, etc. Such factors are with the

characteristics of high randomness and chance, thus it is hard to summarize general rule

or recognized assessing method for calculating rainfall runoff pollutant concentration.

Based on the statistic of domestic study data and assessment data, pollution to water body

by surface runoff usually occurs in the beginning of rainfall; as rainfall time prolongs,

concentration of pollutant in runoff will decrease. As a result, pollution to water body will

reduce, and no obvious impact will fall on water body.

Besides, the wastewater collected in the new sewage pipe network of the Project in

Hongchuan Town can be discharged into the sewage treatment plant of Hongya County.

The sewage treatment plant abovementioned is with the Phase I capacity of 10,000m3/d

and Phase II design capacity of 20,000m3/d, which is located at the closing dam at

northern side of Qingyi River. In the Project, a d800 reinforced concrete sewage

intercepting main is laid along the closing dam corners at the northern side, by which the

sewage collected is discharged into the sewage treatment plant for treatment and

up-to-standard discharge.

(2) Water supply project

Production waste water during operation period of newly built water treatment

plant of Liujiang subproject is mainly from sludge water in sediment pool and back

flushing waste water in filter pool. Back flushing water will not be drained, but

recycled through recycle pool; sludge water will be drained to nearby flood

discharging channel as upper clear liquid meets requirements of discharge standard

after treatment through sludge concentration pool. After the Project enters into

operation, labour capacity needs 11 employees to implement three shifts in duty

among four shifts. There is no canteen in plant area, so just a little sanitary sewage is

generated from office area. Daily sewage from life and office is 1.1m3/d, which

would be transported by tank truck to local sewage treatment plant for treatment and

drained.

After above measurements are taken, water supply project of Liuj iang

subproject will not have obvious impact on regional surface water environment.

3. Analysis of Impact on Acoustic environment

32

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

①Road works of Liujiangzi Project

(1) Reasonable planning and layout of buildings and control of land along road sides

Based on the spirit of “the Urban Planning Department shall determine the layout of

buildings in compliance with national standards for acoustic environment quality and

design specifications for civil buildings, reasonably specify the distance between

buildings and the traffic artery to prevent noise, and propose corresponding planning and

design requirements” as stated in Clause XI, Chapter II of Law of the People’s Republic

of China on Prevention and Control of Pollution from Environmental Noise, the land on

both sides of the road shall be properly planned and the use of the land along the route

shall be strictly controlled.

In principle, new construction or extension of school, hospital, residential buildings

or other sensitive buildings is not allowed within the noise defending distance. On the

basis of proper functional planning of the land along road sides, it is recommended that

building layout and sound insulation design be designed to ensure the indoor environment

of sensitive buildings can meet the requirements of using functions. According to the

overall planning of Liujiang Town, construction around roadways of the Project mainly

involves business areas and a small number of commercial and residential quarters. So

requirements are proposed through assessment that influence of traffic noise on residents

should be minimized after construction of shopping mall, dinning places and other

commercial buildings along road sides. Meanwhile, the layout of environmentally

sensitive buildings shall be optimized, with the noise-sensitive functional zone to be

located far away from the road.

Therefore, according to noise prediction of this environmental assessment, it is

recommended that school, hospital, nursing home, residential quarter or other sensitive

buildings not be constructed within 20m from both sides of the road axis. Any

environmental sensitive site in the above-mentioned area must be provided with noise

reduction measures during construction and can only be put into use after being approved

by an environmental authority and reaching the corresponding functional standards.

(2) Noise pollution control measures

All the predicated noise values of in both day and night at 3 sensitive points of the

Project in short, medium and long-term operation (up to 2016, 2023 and 2030

33

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

respectively) fall within Class II standard limits as stated in Environmental Quality

Standard for Noise. Therefore, the following management requirements are proposed

through environmental assessment that traffic control be strengthened after the road is

built and put into operation to avoid excessive noise caused by traffic jam and vehicle

noise monitoring be enhanced to prevent vehicles making excessive noise or speeding.

②Water supply (water purification plant) works of Liujiangzi Project

After the water purification plant for water supply works of Liujiangzi Project is put

into operation, the noise mainly comes from pumping house, pump equipment and

blower. See Table 3-3 below for noise generation and control.

According to predication, equipment noise values at the plant boundary during

operation of the water purification plant fall within Class II standard limits as stated in

Standards of Noise at Boundary of Industrial Enterprises (GB12348-2008). The

predicted values at sensitive points of the Project are 51.2dB (A) in daytime and 43.4dB

(A) at night, falling within the Class II standard limits as stated in Environmental Quality

Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). That is to say this Project has little influence on

environmental sensitive sites.

4. Impact Analysis of Solid Wastes

During the operation period of road and bridge works of the Project, solid wastes

mainly refer to domestic garbage of management and maintenance personnel with a point

shape distribution, which has little impact on environment compared with that during the

construction period. As the solid wastes are generated near the road during the operation

period, they may affect the landscape, pollute the air, spread disease and harm human

health if not properly disposed. During the operation period of the Project, domestic

garbage shall be collected, dumped, disposed and transported in such a manner as not to

affect environmental health. Solid wastes generated during the operation period of road

34

Hongya County Restructuring Component of Sichuan Small Towns Development Project by

World Bank Loans Environmental Management Plan

and bridge works of the Project shall be collected and transported to the local garbage

disposal area by the sanitation department.

Solid wastes from the production area of the water purification plant include dry

sludge, office garbage and domestic garbage. The output of dry sludge from the Project is

approximately 1.4t/d. There are 11 production workers in the plant with office garbage of

5.5kg/d (0.5kg/d per capita). Disposal measures: Dry sludge will be transported to the

landfill; office and domestic garbage will be collected and sent to the local sanitation

department for disposal.

6.0 PUBLIC CONSULTATION

6.1 Public Consultation Public consultation has been widely carried out during the preparation of EIA, so the

public concerns have been reflected in the EIA/Environmental Management Plan. In

order to minimize the impact of the Project, exchange with the project affected people

(PAP) will be conducted throughout the Project. The purpose of such exchange is to

provide a two-way information channel, where the information of project progress and

implementation of the Environmental Management Plan can be publicized to the affected

people, and their feedback on the impact of the Project under construction can be

conveyed to the Contractor and the Owner in a timely manner.

Public consultation and complaint mechanism is a two-way exchange between the

Project Owner and the public, serving as an important mechanism for reducing the

project risks and social impact, and an important way for publication of the project

information and public consultation. A transparent and simple public consultation and

complaint mechanism is established to objectively, justly and efficiently deal with the

problems of the public, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the Project.

Public visit and opinion survey is an important way to communicate with the

surrounding people during the construction of the Project; the survey objects are mainly

the surrounding people affected by the Project. Public visit and opinion survey for the

surrounding people affected by the Project shall be carried out 1-2 months before the

completion of the Project to know whether the Project causes environmental impacts to

them during construction.
