1. Preface
1.1 Project background
With rapid development of national economy in recent years in Fuzhou City, traffic
volume increased greatly. At the same time, construction of urban road network is
lagging behind the traffic growth, causing traffic congestions and affecting economic
growth, urban development and standard of living improvement in the city. In fact,
over loaded urban main trunk roads and frequently blocks of normal traffic have
become one of the important factors restricting further economic development. The
construction of the World Bank Financed Nanjiangbinlu Road, the 3rd Ring Road
(Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge (hereafter referred as "Two Roads & One Bridge") that
will alleviate traffic pressure in the city center, is the necessity steps to expedite the
city's economic and transportation system development. The locations of the Two
Roads and One Bridge are shown in Figure 2. 1-1.
The construction of the Two Roads & One Bridge will play an important role in
solving Fuzhou traffic issue, improving urban environmental air quality and raising
the living standard for Fuzhou residents. The project will surely expedite Fuzhou's
social, economic and environmental development in a harmonious and sustainable
way.
The project environmental impact assessment shows that adverse environmental
impact will be caused in local areas during construction and operation periods. At the
same time, however, the project will have great positive benefit in the control of
environmental air quality and air pollution, especially in populous city center by
diverting traffic away from the center and increase motor vehicle operation efficiency.
As part of environmental impact assessment documents, this project Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) is an important document required by the World Bank. The
purpose of the EMP is to ensure implementation of environment mitigation measures
put forward in the environmental impact assessment, as it is our responsibility to
implement all necessary environment mitigation measures for the project to seek
environment protection and reasonable benefit.
1.2 Purpose, action program and requirement of the EMP
1.2.1 Purpose
In accordance with project environmental impact assessment, traffic noise and motor
vehicle emission are major environment pollution. Construction of the roads and
bridge will cause change in land occupation and severance of communities, as well as
temporary impacts related to construction activities only, such as dust, noise, vibration,
sediment re-suspension, surface runoff, etc.
The EMP will specify environment mitigation measures, institutional arrangements
for environmental management, environmental supervision and monitoring during
construction and operation phases. The EMP would also provide a regulatory
framework from which the mitigation measures are proposed and standards to be met
through mitigation and management. Finally, the EMP will provide an estimated
I



budget for implementing the mitigation measures and other management actions and
programs
More specifically, the project EMP will have the following objectives:
*      It specifies the impact mitigation measures for the affected objects. The
project owner, environment qualification unit and design unit performed
careful site investigations and confirmation of the affected objects, and raised
effective impacts mitigation measures and incorporated them into engineering
design.
*      It provides a guiding document for environment protection. This EMP, after
reviewed by the World Bank and the government, will be issued to
construction supervision unit, environment supervision unit, contractors and
operators in construction and operation periods as environment protection
document.
*      It clarifies responsibilities and roles of the relevant units. It clarifies the
responsibilities and roles of the relevant functional departments and
management organizations, and identifies communication channel and
communication ways between departments.
*      It identifies environment-monitoring plan for construction and operation
period. In order to ensure effective implementation of environment mitigation
measures and disposition in a timely manner of unexpected or gusty
environment issue, this project EMP identifies environment-monitoring plan
for construction and operation periods
1.2.2 Action Program and Requirement
In order to minimize the environmental impact created from this project, a total
objective of environment management of this project is established with joint efforts
of World Bank officials, international consultation specialists, and environment
qualification unit and project construction owner. That is to keep a sustainable
development of social economy and environment in Fuzhou City, improve
environment quality, mitigate or compensate negative impact to the community and
environment due to project construction to minimal level.
The specific action and requirement are as follows:
*      Action: To prepare and implement EMP and environment monitoring plan;
*      To prepare and implement motor vehicle emission control strategy in order to
mitigate impact to the environment air.
*      Requirement: To inspect monitoring result of monitoring factors listed in
environment monitoring plan for construction and operation periods.
*      To implement all of the environment mitigation measures provided in the
environmental impact assessment in accordance with specified procedures.

sections of the road is 5.22km, and the width of the road is planed to be 40-50m.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Enviromnental Protection   2002.02      2



The Nanjiangbin Road, as the north ring road of Nantai Island Road, is the trunk road
to connect the old Cangshan Area with the new Chengmen Area and important
component part of Nantai Island surrounding road. It is a road along the river,
integrating functions of recreation, sightseeing and traffic.
2.2.2 The 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) Project
The 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) Project, located in the south part of the island and with
a total length of 12.474 km, starts from Wanbian on the west, ends at the planed south
end of Kuiqi Bridge of Minjiang River along Shangqi Village, Sanbianzhou,
Difengjiang, New Menqianzhou Village, Pukou Village, Qianyuan Village, Aoshan
Village, north part of Fujian Provincial IT Vocational Education Institute, Duyuan
Village, and connects with Fuzhou-Xiamen Road between Sanfeng Shoe Making
Corporation and Futeng Industrial Zone. The width of the road is 79m. After crossing
the intersection on Fuzhou-Xiamen Road, the 3rd Ring Road runs from west to east
along the planed Fuzhou-Xiamen Road east end of flyover of the 3rd Ring Road and
Chengmenshan, and ends at the planed south end of Kuiqi Bridge, where a three
storied interconnected flyover will be built at the interjunction of the 3rd Ring Road
and Fuzhou-Quanzhou Expressway.
There will be a total of 2 flyovers in the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II), of the two flyovers,
the cross with Fuzhou-Xiamen Road will be an elevated separation flyover and the
other cross with Fuzhou-Quanzhou expressway will be a three level interchange.
There will be one large bridge in the line, 420m long and 8 medium and small-sized
bridges, the total length being 316m. The 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) , running from
southwest to northeast along Nantai Island, is a quick channel to connect the urban
area with University City, Jinshan Community(to be constructed) and Gaishan
Community. The 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) Project, located in the south part of the 3rd
Ring Road, will play an important role in developing and constructing Nantai Island.
2.2.3 Kuiqi Bridge Project
The south end of Kuiqi Bridge, located in Linpu Village and south side of Shaoqi
Village, connects with the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) . After running northward along
the planed 3rd Ring Road, crossing Minjiang River and arriving at the north bank of
Minjiang River, the north end of Kuiqi Bridge connects with North Jiangbin Road
interconnected flyover, where the Bridge ends. The main Kuiqi Bridge and its bridge
approach is l.llkm long, of which the main bridge is 360m long and the bridge
approaches at both sides are 750m long. On the north bank, there is a compound

Minjiang River. An additional river-crossing bridge will be constructed at the
downstream of Minjiang River, which will shorten the space distance from south to
north and facilitate traffic. At the same time, this project will connect with expressway
to the Airport, which will not only shorten the Changle International Airport and the
areas along the expressway to the airport, but also provide an east exit with Fuzhou
City. The construction of this project will not only perfect the 3t Ring Road, but also
will push the road network construction along the 3rd Ring Road, and perfect the
urban road network structure.
2.2.4 General
The construction of Nanjiangbinlu Road, the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) and Kuiqi
Bridge help to land development and construction in new areas and help to push
traffic constrL, -. in and lead the city development. It will play an important role in
expediting development and construction in Cangshan Area and even the whole
Nantai Island. It is of great significance in improving investment environment,
pushing economic development and bringing into play the central role of Fuzhou City
as the province capital. Therefore, the construction of the Two Roads and One Bridge
meets the implementation need of strategy of "expanding in the east, advancing in the
north and developing in the west". The construction of the new areas will not only
enlarged urban scale, push the land development and raise the land utilization rate, but
will also expedite the reconstruction of the old urban areas, which will play an
important role in mitigation of urban land, traffic and decentralization of dense
population. After completion of the two Roads & One Bridge, the city scale will be
further enlarged and a new round of economic prompt development of Fuzhou City
will surely be realized.

pomegranate fields. Plantation in Aoshan Mountain (also named as Tuyuanshan
Mountain) is abundant in trees, mainly consisting of acacias, masson pines and
banyan trees, and interspersed with over ten camphor trees.
Along the both sides of overhead roads on South end of Kuiqi Bridge are
farmlands, while there mainly are demolished houses in flyover on north end,
with a few trees.
(2) Current aquatic ecological environment
Migrating fishes and crabs as well as breeding farms on lower reach of Minjiang
River (including Kuiqi course)
1) Migrating fishes and crabs on lower reach of Minjiang River
(X Freshwater Eel. Impact on the eel concentrates during Nov. to Mar. of next
year. In Nov. each year, adult eels migrate from freshwater to ocean to spawn
and incubate the young eels, which return freshwater in Mar. of next year.
According to data, around 2-3 ton eel fries are captured for each year in
Minjiang River estuary.
(© Mitten Crab. Impact on the mitten crab concentrates during Nov. to Dec. and
May to Jun. each year. Parent crabs begin to migrate from freshwater to
ocean for propagation in Oct., mainly from Nov. to Dec, and young crabs
return to freshwater after spawn and incubation, mainly form May to Jun.
2) Clam breeding farm on Kuiqi river course
Water area on the south end of the proposed Kuiqi Bridge is a natural clam
breeding farm. Besides, there are 780m clam breeding farms in the area
including 600 mu north of the bridge (230 m) jointly owned by Lianjiang
Village, Shaoqi Village, Shishan Village and Fulian Village, and 180 mu
south of the bridge site (340 mi) belongs to Zhangnan Village of Chengmen
Town, Cangshan District.
(3) Current swamp ecological environment
On the Northwest of Kuiqi Bridge lies Puxiazhou swamp, near Xindangzhou, and
close to Duimianzhou, with the shortest distance of 260 m.
1) Vegetation Community of Puxiazhou Swamp
There are mallow conmmunity and weeping willow community. Mallow
community is classified as herbaceous swamp vegetation of swamp
vegetation, around or near which a few associated species are, like Ludwigia,
rush, Sporobolus fertilis and alligator alternanthera interspersing among it;
weeping willow of the weeping willow community, classified as xylophyta
swamp vegetation, is a kind of deciduous tree, most of which grow on the
bank of brook and river. Green bamboo of weeping willow community on
parts of Puxiazhou and Xindangzhou, distributing as belt, often cluster and

form single dominating community, with height of 6-8m, chest
circumference of 9-lOm, and total coverage of 80%. As the absolutely
dominant specie of this community, green bamboos grow well. Around the
community are associated species as alpinia zerumbet, neyraudia reynudiana,
duranta repens linn, rush and eclipta prostrasta.
2) Phytoplankton and animal plankton. There are 97 species of floating algae
and 79 species of animal plankton on lower reach of Minjiang River.
Phytoplankton mainly consists of Skeletonema costatum, coscinodiscus
Ehrenberg, meLosira granulate, synedra acus, navicula and chlorella, while
animal plankton mainly consists of halteriagrandinella muller, strombomonas
ensifera, nauplius of crustacean, sinocalanus dorrii, cyclops sp, brachionus
urceus, and bosminopsis deitersi.
3) Dermarsal macro-invertebrate of Puxiazhou and Xindangzhou. According to
sample survey on the muddy shoal wetland, dermarsal macro-invertebrates
there include: corbicula fluminea, anodonta woodiana, A.fluminea,
limnophila    aromatica,     cipangopaludina    Chinese     gray,
sesarma(parasesarma)plicata, palaemon (exopalamon) carincauda holthuis,
Japanese mitten-handed crab, and jumping shrimp, etc..
4) Wild gooses, ducks, and waders. Those planktons provide adequate baits for
growth and propagation of various fishes, shrimps and seashells in the
oceanic area, which serve as substantial basis for various water birds and
migrators perching and seeking food in swamp of estuary on lower reach of
Minjiang River. Every year, abundant wild gooses, ducks, and waders perch
in Puxiazhou and Xindanagzhou. However, at present, only when flood tide
and evening, snipes, wild gooses and ducks fly there to gather or seek food.
Common birds here include: grebe, egret, grey heron, Chinese pond-heron,
black-crowned night-heron, spot-billed duck, common teal, common
greenshank and common sandpiper.
5) There are large-area corbicula fluminea breeding farm on the course on
southeast of Kuiqi Bridge, with high population density. In addition, around
the course lie big farmlands, marshes and sandbanks, with abundant corns
and fruits. Various fishes, shrimps and seashells in water, and insects as well
as their larvae provide natural baits for migrators.

Nanjiangbinlu Road is along the north bank of Nantai Island. Present Cangqian Road
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection   2002.027



and planned reserved road connecting with river are broad. Sunshine hours of 1" floor
window in day of winter solstice are over 3h, with good sunshine condition. The 3rd
Ring Road (Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge are situated on outskirts, with outstanding
sunshine condition.
3.1.7 Baseline cultural relics
Along Nanjiangbinlu Roadm there are Anlan Chamber of Commerce and Fanchuanpu
Catholic Church in Jian'an District. Along the proposed 3rd Ring Road (Phase II)
alignment, there are 5 cultural protection units, i.e.,. Yan Fu's Fomer Residence and
Pushan Temple of Gaishan Town, Lingshan Temple of Luozhou Town, Lianjiang
School and Temporary Imperial Palace for Emperor of Song Dynasty. On the
northwest of overhead roads on the south end of Kuiqi Bridge are 2 district cultural
relic protection units, viz. Linpu Emplacement and Linpu Stone Tower.
3.2 Impacts of the Construction Phase
3.2.1 Summary of environmental impact during construction period
During the construction period, demolition and resettlement of expropriated land,
surface excavation, pipe-laying, material transportation and road construction will
perform effect on urban ambient air, sound environment, water environment, traffic,
safety, communities and people's life. Based on features of environmental impact
during construction period, necessary mitigation measures must be adopted to reduce
or eliminate negative impact.
3.2.2 Impact on ecology during construction period
a. Impact of land occupation on agricultural production
2332.43 mu lands have been expropriated for Two Roads & One Bridge.
Deducting forests and unused spaces, agricultural lands cover 1785.36mu,
including 192.38 mu vegetable fields, 1188.57mu orchard, 59.84 mu tilths,
and 23.35mu pounds, among which the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) covers the
most farmlands and orchards. It can be concluded that Two Roads & One
Bridge will somehow impact the local agricultural economy along the line.
However, the whole Nantai Island has been planned as new downtown, and
the agricultural lands will turn to be urban lands, which reduced the impact
on agricultural economy.
b. Impact on vegetation
According to current situation survey, among 105.29 mu forest occupied by
the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II), Aoshan Mountain (also named as Duyuanshan
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     8



Mountain) is primary, whose main tree species are acacia, masson pines, and
banyan trees. In addition, over ten camphor trees scattered there.
During construction period, camphor tree, if any, must be moved in time
without any injury. Construction of green belts along both sides of the road
can reduce some loss of vegetation.
c. Impact on aquatic ecological environment
During bridge construction period, suspending matters in water will
somewhat impact aquatic biology above for certain period. Corresponding
measures will be adopted: during construction period, in process of digging
bridge abutment foundation, slurry must be filtrated and precipitated, in order
to decrease suspending matters in water, and protect surviving environment
of fish.
3.2.3 Impact on water environment during construction period
Impact on Beigang river course during Kuiqi Bridge construction period: production
wastewater of construction area is discharged after precipitation and oil separation,
which perform a little impact on water environment of Beigang. SS performs slight
impact on water environment of Beigang. However, petroleum somewhat will impact
area near outlet, and water on lower reach, 130m away from outlet can meet Water
Quality Standard for Fishery. Construction wastewater of bridge foundation has large
impact on SS of water environment. However, pile foundation construction will pump
the slurry to shore where it is settled in a holding tank before discharged to the river.
The impact of pile foundation construction wastewater on water environment is
therefore limited and temporary.
Impact of Nanjiangbinlu Road, the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) during construction
period: Direct discharge without any treatment of construction wastewater, including
slurry produced by excavation and drill, cooling water and wash water produced by
operation of mechanical equipments, oil water produced in operation and repair of
construction machinery, will impact the receiving water body. Nanjiangbinlu Road
construction is carried out in flood-proof bank, and constructors' life wastewater will
discharged by urban sewers and life garbage will be collected and treated by
environmental sanitation station, like local citizen. Construction of the 3rd Ring Road
(Phase II) is also carried out in flood-proof bank, but there is not urban sewer in most
of road course along the line, pollution by life wastewater and garbage must be
prevented.

3.3 Impact during operation period
3.3.1 Impact on ambient air during operation period
1) CO density distribution on both sides of road: In each forecast characteristic
year, under common and disadvantageous weather conditions, impact on
CO density on both sides of road of each course Nanjiangbinlu Road, the
3rd Ring Road (Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge is too little to exceed Class II
Standard of Ambient Air Quality.
2) NO2, under common weather condition, except characteristic year of 2020,
NO2 density along Two Roads & One Bridge can meet Class II Standard of
Ambient Air Quality in Functional Zone. Under disadvantageous weather
condition, NOx in emissiones of motor vehicle has large impact on ambient
air along the roads. Especially in 2020, increase of traffic volume and
pollutants will perform obvious impact on NO2 along the roads, among which
Nanjiangbinlu Road can still keep Class II Standard of Ambient Air Quality,
and NO2 pollutants density in area within 50m away from the 3rd Ring Road
(Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge is too high to keep Class II Standard of Ambient
Air Quality. However, the pollution is not serious generally.
3.3.2 Noise impact during operation period
Nanjiangbinlu Road
After Nanjiangbilu road is opened to traffic, the eight sensitive receptors along the
road are expected to exceed the applicable Class 2 standards (60 dB(A) for day time
and 50 dB(A) for night) in all three predicting years. The exceedance will increase
with time from 3-11 dB(A) for day time in 2006 to 5-14 dB(A) in 2020. At night, the
exceedance will be from 8-17 d(A) in 2006 to 10-21 dB(A) in 2020. Apparently there
will be significant noise impact to sensitive receptors along the road. The EA has
identified 722 households, one school and one church along this road, with a total of
affected people of about 3200. Mitigation will be taken to minimize the impacts.
Third Ring Road Phase II
After Third Ring Road Phase II is opened to traffic, all sensitive receptors along the
road are expected to exceed the applicable Class 2 standards (60 dB(A) for day time
and 50 dB(A) for night) in the two predicting years. The exceedance will increase
with time from 2-12 dB(A) for day time in 2010 to 4-14 dB(A) in 2020. At night, the
exceedance will be from 6-16 d(A) in 2006 to 8-18dB(A) in 2020. There will also be
significant noise impact to sensitive receptors along this road. The EA has identified
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     10



394 households and one school along this road, with a total of affected people of
about 2500. Mitigation will be taken to minimize the impacts.
Kuiqi Bridge
After bridge is opened to traffic, the sensitive receptors at the both ends of the bridge
are expected to exceed the applicable Class 2 standards (60 dB(A) for day time and 50
dB(A) for night) in the two predicting years. The exceedance at the south end will be
modest, from 0-2 dB(A) for day time in 2010 to 0-4 dB(A) in 2020. At night, the
exceedance will be from 2-7 d(A) in 2010 to 4-9 dB(A) in 2020. The impact is more
significant however, at the north end. The exceedance rate is expected to be 5-16
dB(A) in 2010 in day time and 7-19 dB(A) in 2020. At night, the exceedance will be
10-22 dB(A) in 2010 and 12-24 dB(A) in 2020. At the north end where significant
impact is expected, there are 219 households one school and one kindergarten, which
will be the target for mitigation.
3.3.3 Impact on water environment during operation period
The forecast shows that owing to mild pollution of river by non-point Source
Pollution formed during operation period, low density of CODcr, petroleum, and SS in
rain on the surface of Kuiqi Bridge, and large flux in Beigang Kuiqi course of
Minjiang River, rain on the surface of bridge has a little impact on water quality of
Minjiang River.
Only the accident of vehicle transporting dangerous goods can resulted in obvious
water pollution. Experience has demonstrated that the ratio of water pollution induced
by accident on bridge is low. However, corresponding measures should be adopted to
prevent any possibility of pollution. Runoff (rain) on the bridge surface should be
channeled into dike to discharge in design and construction instead of being drained
away directly to river under bridge. In addition, buffer pool should be established in
outlet, namely both ends of Kuiqi Bridge, into which the pollutants can be channeled
to be treated in case of leakage.
3.3.4 Impact of two Roads & One Bridge construction on cultural relics
There are 9 cultural relics on both sides along Nanjiangbinlu Road, the 3rd Ring Road
(Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge. According to analysis, Nanjiangbinlu Road construction
performs the largest impact on Fanchuanpu Catholic Church, and little or non impact
on other 8 cultural relics.
3.3.5 Impact on sunshine
Nanjiangbinlu Road is ground level road, and there are only several hundreds of
overhead roads on the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge, which are built on
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02    11



farmlands and demolished factory. It will not impact sunshine of residents and
sensitive structure of the project.
4. Impact Mitigation Measures
In order to mitigate the environmental and social impacts brought by the construction
and operation of Nanjiangbinlu Road, the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) and Kuiqi Bridge
Project, a series mitigation measures have been proposed and planned to be taken in
the design, construction and operation phases. These mitigation measures involve
analysis and selection of alternatives, protection of impacted areas and sensitive
receptors and long term measure, such as traffic control, traffic restriction in central
commercial district, pollution control program of motor vehicles and reasonable
layout of city planning and so on.
The construction of Nanjiangbinlu Road, the 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) and Kuiqi
Bridge project in Fuzhou will follow and execute the No.253 Administrative Order on
Management Regulation of Environmental Protection of Construction Project issued
by the State Council to ensure that the implementation of the environmental
protection of the project will be designed, constructed and run with the principal part
of a project at the same time.
In order to prevent the negative impact of the project upon the environment, the
following concrete actions will be adopted in all phases of the implementation and
running of the project.
In the item selection and design phase, all kinds of potential influencing factors will
be fully analyzed and the measures that can mitigate the affection upon the
environment will be taken into account maximally.
In the construction phase of the project, the environment mitigation measures will be
adopted for the projected affected units and individuals to mitigate the noise influence
upon the spots where the environment is sensitive, such as the setting up of sound
barrier and sound proof window and so on.
In the operation phase of the project, a long term action plan will be brought into
effect to improve the environmental quality in the city, such as traffic control, traffic
restriction in central city zone, implementation of motor vehicle emission control
strategy, and reasonable layout of city planning and so on.
This chapter describes the proposed mitigation measures in different phases. These
measures have been reviewed by the government and project implementation agencies
(lAs), who have committed to implementing the proposed actions and measures
outlined in the EMP.

4.1 Design phase of the project
4.1.1 Site/Alignment Selection
The site/alignment of the Two Roads and One Bridge will be determined according to
multiple schemes of the analysis and comparison of the engineering and
environmental impact.
(1) Nanjiangbinlu Road project
The road will start from West Changqian Road, stretch along the northem
embankment line of Nantai Island, horizontally cross Jiefang Bridge, downwards
cross Minjiang Bridge and Aofengzhou Bridge on Liuyi Road, depart the old coastline
to Jiangbianzhou, Xindangzhou and Puxiazhou along Minjiang River, then
continually stretch along the new embankment line, cross the planned Gushan Bridge
and terminate at the bridge site of the planned Kuiqi Bridge. The total length will be
9km. The Puxiazhou Wetland, through which the road would pass, not only acts as a
natural water-storage reservoir, but also produce important effect upon adjusting the
runoff of Minjiang River, mitigating the flood peak, adjusting the temperature and
humidity of the air in the city zone, detaining and degrading the pollutant from the
upstream of Minjiang River and so on. As the main zoology passage and wetland
chain from the coast to inland in Fujian province, this wetland protects the biological
diversity, provides necessary growing environment for all kinds of hydrophytes and
hygrophytes, and provides breeding places, food-looking-for places and habitats for
all kinds of animals. It especially acts as an important stage on the migration route for
the migratory birds in the Asia-Pacific region and the wintering places for all kinds of
water birds and wading birds. In these aspects, the play of this wetland is
non-replaceable. If Nanjiangbinlu Road passes through, it would be unavoidable for
Puxiazhou Wetland to be damaged and nonreversible impact would be brought about
upon the wetland.
Therefore, Nanjiangbinlu Road will change its route to pass through Qianhengnan
Road. According to the new scheme, the road will start from West Cangqian Road,
stretch along the northem embankrment line of Nantai Island, horizontally cross
Jiefang Bridge, downwards cross Minjiang Bridge and Aofengzhou Bridge on Liuyi
Road, then tum southwards at Fuhou NO. 1 Paper Mill and continue its stretching to
the planned Qianhengnan Road. The total length will be 5.22km. the change of the
route makes the road avoid pass through the wetland and it is the best scheme for
wetland protection.
(2) The 3rd Ring Road (Phase II) project and Kuiqi Bridge project
The changed new scheme has moved back from the original one and some adjustment
has been made to mitigate the impact upon the sensitive points, such as Pushan
Temple, old banyans in Wufeng Village and Fujian Vocational Technology Institute of
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02    13



Information and so on.
At Pushan Temple, the designed original route would pass its gate and it would be
necessary to remove the gate and the stairs before it. Now, after the road becomes
narrow, the boundary line of the taken over land will be 8m away from Pushan
Temple and the non-motorized vehicle lane will be 12m away from it. Pushan Temple
will be reserved. At Fujian Vocational Technology Institute of Information, the
designed original route would make it necessary to remove three employee lodging
houses to make the library exposed at the side of the road to badly affect the leaming
environment of the students in the institute. Now, after becoming narrow, the road will
pass the edge of the institute and only some playground and equipment houses will be
removed. The road will be 3m away from the employee lodging houses. Compared
with the original route, the new one's impact has been mitigated to a certain extent.
The upward removal of the bridge site of Kuiqi Bridge will meet the shipping
requirement of the water, channel.
4.1.2 Noise Mitigation
4.1.2.1 Rational layout of the road structure and selection of materials
1) In order to reduce the impact of the noise from road traffic, porous surface
materials will be used to replace conventional concrete pavement and bituminous
pavement and enough smoothness of the road pavement will be ensured, too.
According to the test result issued by Hong Kong, such sound absorption
pavement will make the noise exposing level of single vehicle reduced 5dB(A).
Therefore, sound absorption pavement will be laid in sensitive areas.
2) The seamless expansion joint and large displacement multi-span continuous
structure will be adopted to reduce the number of the expansion joints to
accordingly reduce the noise produced by the vehicle when it bounces.
3) Flexible abutment (such as plate type rubber abutment and spherical cap type
rubber abutment) damping structure will be adopted to reduce the noise.
4.1.2.2 Design of noise barrier
The position, pattem selection and material selection of the noise barrier (the sound
isolation materials to be used in the sound barrier in Fanchuanpu Catholic Cathedral
Section and there being no sound barrier in other sections) and actual height of the
sound barrier will be comprehensively considered according to the condition of the
buildings along the road, noise beyond the standard, road structure, anti-wind,
anti-corrosion, security, urban landscape and other factors. Basically, the noise barrier
will be 100 m long and 2 m high on the church side only. It will be necessary for the
detailed work in these aspects to be studied and designed exclusively. As the church is
a highly sensitive structure with high religious and cultural value, the construction of
road particularly the noise barrier would have a visual impact to the church. Special
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     14



measures will be taken to mitigate the visual impacts such as artistic design of and
arts on the noise barriers, special landscape, and other site designs. To further protect
the acoustic environment inside the church for church services, additional provisions
for window upgrading for the main church building will also be provided.
Another area to be protected by noise barrier will be at the interchange off the north
end of Kuiqi bridge. The interchange has high noise impacts affecting 219 households.
Among all the impacted areas, the noise levels are the highest at this location. 220 m
of noise barrier at 3 m high is proposed to be erected here to mitigate the noise.
For the kindergarten and the primary school near Kuiqi bridge, a relocation plan has
been included in the project RAP and the new locations will be impacted by the noise
from project.
4.1.2.3 Protection of the buildings and sensitive targets along the road
Double glazed windows will be installed at the most sensitive receptors where the
most stringent Class I standards will apply, i.e., Yinghua English school along the
Nanjiangbinlu road and Provincial Information College at the 3rd Ring Road Phase II.
For residential buildings where Class II standards will apply, most are included in the
plan for redevelopment and residents will be relocated following the development of
the roads, according to the city's master plan. The only measure for these modestly
sensitive receptors will be low noise asphalt.
(3) Protective design at the sound impacted places
It will not be appropriate for the first row of buildings along the new road to be used
as classrooms, sickrooms and nursery schools for their high requirement upon
acoustic environment. However, these buildings can be used as commercial buildings
and sky parking. The general planning of Fuzhou has already taken these measures
into account and Fuzhou Planning Bureau will supervise the implementation of these
measures.
The first row of the buildings along the road and the noise sensitive buildings, which
will be severely impacted by the traffic noise, will be provided with double glass to
protect the quietness needed indoor activities.
According to the physical conditions in Fuzhou and in order to reduce the potential
noise impact and develop practical noise mitigation measures, the joint investigation
team formed by Project Office, Environment Impact Assessment team and Design
team has already made field investigation at the environment sensitive points relating
to the construction of the project, and discussed with the impacted communities of the
noise mitigation measures proposed in environmental impact report. All parties have
already arrived at an agreement to the noise mitigation measures, which is to install
noise isolation windows at the most sensitive receptors (schools and church).
On this basis, specific proposals and design have been made to install noise isolation
windows at the directly impacted buildings at Yinghua English School, Fanchuanpu
catholic church and Fujian Information Collection. The most significantly impacted
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection    2002.02     15



area at the only project interchange north of the Kuiqi bridge which also is expected
to have the highest noise levels, will be protected by noise barrier as described above.
The Kuiqi primary school and kindergarten near Kuiqi bridge interchange will be
relocated and the relocation has been included in the project Resettlement Action Plan
(RAP). The new school will be constructed prior to the dismantling so that there will
be no disruption of school classes.
The noise mitigation measures for sensitive and highly impacted receptors are
summarized in Table 4. 1-1.

4.1.3 Vibration
1) Both sides of over-bridges and flyovers will adopt large displacement expansion
joints, buried style expansion devices (seamless expansion joints), big tonnage
base form rubber abutment, and spherical cap type rubber abutment to reduce the
traffic vibration of the road.
2)  The condition and the smoothness of the road surface greatly affect the traffic
vibration. Therefore, when making the design, high-grade materials (i.e. imported
perfect asphalt) will be used to be the road surface materials and the smoothness
of the road surface will be reasonably controlled. If the smoothness of the road is
reduced Imm, the vibration value can be reduced 4dB. So, the smoothness of the
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection         2002.02       16



Two Roads and One Bridge should be controlled under 4mm.
3) The function of the land among the road should be rationally planned and laid out.
It is not appropriate for the vibration sensitive buildings to be built within the
areas 40m away from both sides of the road. This measure has already been
introduced into the general plan of Fuzhou and Fuzhou Planning Bureau will
supervise the implementation.
The potential impact of vibration to the Fanchuanpu Catholic Church is a major
concern and mitigation measures are needed to ensure church safety and impacts of
the vibration is minimized. The main church building will be strengthened structurally
to mitigate the impact of vibration and to ensure the safety of the buildings and people.
The approach to the building strerigthening is to maintain the original architectural
style, structural integrity, appearance particularly the outer appearance of the building
and "repair the old building to look old".
On the basis of a detailed site investigation and structural analysis of the building and
with the considerations of the potential vibration during project construction and
operation, Fuzhou Building Science Research Institute has developed a strengthening
and reinforcement plan. The plan consists of the following elements for structural
strengthening:
For bricklaying and stonelaying structure, in order to maintain the
architectural style of the church building, the strengthening will be made at
the interior walls. Reinforced concrete strengthening walls will be built inside
walls but as in bricklaying style to ensure the consistency with the style.
Some structural elements will be supported by steel beams.
The exterior walls will be treated for weathering proof, and cracked walls will
be perfused with concrete to prevent extension of the cracks.
The cracks on the walls suggested uneven settlement of the building.
Foundation will therefore need to be strengthened by increased the foundation
areas.
The roof structure will be calculated for its safe loads. If the result of the
calculation proves the need, the roof will be reinforced by increased
cross-sectional areas or other methods
For wood structure and elements, all cracks will be perfused and steel joints
reinforced.
For stone windows, structural glues will be used to strengthen their integrity
New structural supporting columns will be added to the building to increase
its ability to resist vibration or earthquakes.
Concrete column top joints will be further reinforced.
The above is the preliminary church building strengthening and reinforcement plan.
Further structure study and evaluation is needed to confirm the above plan and this
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection      2002.02     17



study will be conducted prior to the start of the plan implementation. The estimated
costs for the above plan, as well as further expert evaluation and design will be about
RMB1.23 million
4.1.4 Air quality
When making the design, the over-road will not be constructed or be constructed in
small amounts to be good for the motor vehicle emission to diffuse.
In order to be convenient for the emission to diffuse, the distance between buildings
along the road will be gradually increased. In order to be convenient for motor vehicle
emission to diffuse, the high-rise buildings constructed in the future will be controlled
to be 20m away from the boundary line of the road.
4.1.5 Sunlight
Nanjiangbinlu Road will be a ground road and the engineering of the 3rd Ring Road
(Phase II) will be mainly constructed on the ground, so only the flyover at the north
end of Kuiqi Bridge will impact the sunlight. The boundary line of over-section of the
road will be determined according to such a design principle that the interference with
the sunlight will be maximally controlled and the distance between the boundary line
and the neighboring sunlight sensitive building will be controlled at 5m. Fuzhou
Planning Bureau will supervise this measure during the city planning and the
development and construction along the over-section of the road.
4.1.6 Land acquisition, demolition and resettlement
It has already become the important guiding ideology of the decision-making
department of the project to minimize the land takeover, demolition and resettlement
when newly building, rebuilding and expanding the road, selecting the site for bus
station and making the design.
4.1.7  Cultural Relic Protection Plan
The church administration/dormitory building is a brick and wood structure with
stone basement and wood floor. Basically the building is in good shape and
structurally according to expert observation sound although over a nearly hundred
years, some elements such as wooden windows and floors have been rotten, damaged
or lost. According to detailed site survey, investigation and structure studies by
historical building and structural experts from Fuzhou Building Design Institute, it has
been decided to dismantle and rebuild the building at the neighboring shipyard which
is to return to the church..
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02   18



Based on relevant regulations, technical guidelines and site investigations and
measurements, Fuzhou Building Design Institute has developed a detailed moving
and rebuilding plan for the administration/dormitory building. The main steps of this
plan is described briefly as follows:
A full scaffolding will be erected to ensure careful and step by step
dismantling
*      Before scaffolding, the contractor will conduct a detailed and thorough
investigation of the building, structure, elements and other building features
*      Before scaffolding erection, all structure and building elements will be
numbered and marked on drawings
The dismantling will start from the top and work downward.
Each step of dismantling and every elements dismantled will be recorded as
structure, size, position, level of damages, particularly the joints
All dismantled elements will be carefully and safety moved to re-construction
site, segregated and stored orderly
Dismantled bricks and tiles will be cleaned, stored orderly. If any replacement
is needed because of the unusable and damaged bricks, these new bricks will
be placed inside and places that are not visible.
The dismantling and re-construction contractors will be carefully selected and
trained.
For wooden and other structural and building elements, if damaged, efforts
will be given to repair or duplicate them according to Historical Building
Wood Structure Maintenance and Strengthening Technical Guidelines
(GBSO16I).
The base panel at the roof appears to be totally rotten and beyond repair and
thus will be replaced with 350x1 IOx15 sheet panels
Roof re-construction will follow the exactly the same style of the existing
structure
All structures and framework will be reconstructed in the same way as the
existing structure. In the places where identical re-construction cannot be
achieved or re-construction in the same style is very difficult or not safe, the
designers will be called in to determine the alternative construction methods
with the objective to maintain the same architectural style toe the maximum
extent possible.
*      The reconstructed administration/dormitory building will finally be painted
with the paints which can best reflect the original and historical flavor.
4.1.8 Summary of environmental mitigation measures during deign phase

4.2 Construction phase
The construction of this project will have influences on the acoustic environment,
vibration environment, ambient air, water environment, vegetation, community, traffic,
municipal facilities and cultural and historical sites and so on. Although most of the
influences are instant and recoverable, thorough attention must be paid to the
estimation on environmental impacts. The responsibilities of the contractor to protect
the environment will be taken into the Project Bidding Document to ensure that they
can understand their responsibilities thoroughly.
4.2.1 Acoustic environment
Although the noise produced during construction is inevitable, the impact from the
noise on the environment around it can be mitigated to a certain extent. The contractor
must comply with the Notice on Preventing Environmental Noise Pollution at Urban
Construction Sites, issued by the People's Government of Fuzhou and ensure the
noise at the construction site meet the requirements of GB12523-90 Limit Values of
Noise at Construction Site.
General Mitigation Measures
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection          2002.02       21



The following measures to reduce the noise will be performed by the contractor:
*      The contractors will be requested to adopt effective measures to reduce noise
caused during the construction, and minimize the noise impacts. During the
construction, Construction modes and construction time will be rationalized
to reduce or avoid noise construction activities occurring during the most
sensitive time, such as night time, class times and hospital operation time
wherever possible. Use of piling machines at night (from 22:00 to 6:00) will
be strictly forbidden and other noisy activities including heavy truck
transportation, loading/unloading, beam lifting and stockpile of the materials
will be carried out during the day time. If other noisy machinery and activities
have to be used, they will be located to areas as far away from sensitive
receptors as possible. If nighttime construction is absolutely necessary, the
contractors will be requested to report the local environmental protection
bureau as well as the PMO for approval (more on night time construction
mitigation later).
*      Although three rounds of public consultation at the sensitive receptors have
been conducted during the EA for concerns of project impacts including night
time construction, contractors will be requested notice well ahead of time the
impacted public and communities and consult with the public for their
concerns and opinions. The continued public consultation will be included in
the tendering documents and made part of the contract obligations to the
contractors, in order to receive public understanding and listen to their
concerns and suggestion for mitigation. These mitigation measures, including
public consultation for construction arrangement and night construction
activities will be implemented prior to the start of the construction at the site
to allow the public to express concern and the time to further design
mitigation measures if needed.
*      The construction in the residential and school areas will stop one week prior
to the annual national examination time (first week in July but the actual time
may change in the next few years). All construction activities, including
materials transportation and preparation, will stop during the actual exam
time (3 days) to provide the best possible acoustic environment during this
highly sensitive period.
*      For some components with a real long construction period, such as the
interchange, special measures will be taken for the sensitive receptors nearby.
There are several noise sensitive receptors around the sites, it will be arranged
to construct during the school vacation to the extent possible.
*      Contractors will select and use the construction machinery with low noise as
far as possible. Temporary generators will be banned in principle and the
utilities will be requested to supply additional power to meet the construction
needs. In case such arrangement with the utilities cannot be made, generator
sets along the roads will be equipped with sound-insulation cover and located
to be away from the sensitive receptors. Contractors will be requested to
provide good maintenance to all their construction machinery so that they can
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection    2002.02     22



be kept in good shape and best working conditions to minimize noise.
*      Construction time and construction sites will be rationalized. Working site
with high noise will be far away from the noise sensitive receptor if possible.
The access for construction transport vehicles in and out the site will be
arranged at the side far away from the residential area. For individual
construction site with serious impacts and near highly noise sensitive
receptors, temporary sound-insulation enclosing structure or sound-insulation
barrier will be set up. Alternatively, temporary noise barriers at the side near
sensitive receptors will be built. For earthwork, contractors will arrange
multiple excavators and trucks to work at the same time, and thus shorten the
impact time.
*      Full time supervision staff will be retained by the PMO    to supervise
construction activities, particularly night time construction. Hand held noise
meters will be used to measure noise levels at sensitive receptors such as
hospital wards and residential buildings during the night construction periods.
*      With the close supervision of the PMO, the contractors will be requested to
place a designated person for night time traffic management for construction
vehicles. If necessary, proper training and instruction from traffic police will
be provided to minimize night time traffic congestion and hooting.
*      At each construction site where night time construction will be carried out, a
public notice board will be put on display in a highly visible place. On this
board, telephone number and contact number will be shown for the public to
vent their concerns and complaints about the night time construction. All such
complaints will be recorded, and investigated as needed, and then appropriate
actions will be taken to address the concerns and complaints.
*      The concrete structures for interchanges, bridges, etc. will be pre-fabricated
in factories to the extent possible. Site concrete pouring for these elements
will be minimized in order to reduce noise levels from these activities. As
concrete pouring often requires continued operation, avoidance of site
pouring is also an effective method to reduce the need for night time
construction activities.
Night lime Construction Noise Mitigation
As night time construction would result in particularly significant impacts to residents
and other sensitive receptors, besides the above mitigation measures, the following
special measures will be taken during the construction phase:
*      Urban residents and villages living within the potentially impacted areas will
be noticed ahead of time for the length and noise intensity of the proposed
night time construction. Information on why the night construction is
necessary and mitigation measures to be taken will be provided to these urban
and rural residents to obtain their understanding. These residents will be
consulted for their concerns, difficulties, and suggestions for noise control
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection       2002.02      23



prior to the commencement of night time construction. These concerns will
be responded and suggestions adopted where appropriate.
Night time construction will be arranged in such a way to avoid school exam
time (about one week in the summer) in the urban area and harvest time
(about half month each in the summer and fall) in the rural area. These are
particularly sensitive time when students need the good night sleep in
preparation for exams and farmers for the heavy farming activities in the
field.
*      Concreted mixer, power generated and other stationary equipment will be
carefully placed to be far away from residential areas and villages to ensure
no noise impacts from these machines. Where possible, municipal power
supply will be utilized in construction including night time construction as
diesel generators are extremely noise and avoiding using them is the best
mitigation.
*      Equipment with lower noise levels will be used for concrete pouring
operations, which may require 24 hours non-stop operation;
*      Temporary noise barriers at the appropriate places may be erected to reduce
the noise impacts at the night time. These areas may include noisy stationery
construction machines and/or areas with sensitive receptors.
*      If necessary, the contractor will arrange temporary accommodation away
from the impacted area for the extremely vulnerable people who need good
night time rest, such as persons with illness and elderly,
*      Notice boards will be erected at all construction sites providing information
about the project, as well as contact information about the site managers,
enviroilmental staff, telephone number and other contact information so that
any affected people can have the channel to voice their concerns and
suggestions, and
*      Close supervision personnel from  the PMO  will be assigned to the
construction sites during the period of night time construction to ensure that
the above measures are taken and to respond to any un-anticipated impacts by
necessary mitigation measures.
All these mitigation measures will be included in the project Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) which is a stand alone document used during the
construction phase to enforce and supervise the implementation of the proposed
mitigation measures. And all which require the actions of the contractors will be
included in the bid documents and later the contracts to ensure that these mitigation
measures and actions will become contractual obligations for the contractors which
can be enforced by the PMO and the environmental monitoring team.
4.2.2 Ambient air
The Contractor will take charge of performing the following mitigation measures to
prevent the dust pollution.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     24



*      According to the requirements of the People's Government of Fuzhou City,
the Contractor must use protection materials to prevent the flying dust in
removing the buildings and constructing road and buildings.
*      Appoint a worker in charge of water spraying on each construction contract
section to take charge of spraying the construction sites and the construction
passages. The spraying frequency will be determined according to the
weather. In common weather, spraying will be carried out four times a day,
namely in the morning (7:30-8:30), at noon (12:00-13:00) and in the evening
(17:30-19:00) as well as at peak hour.
*      The vehicles transporting cement, construction materials and construction
rubbish will be covered with tarpaulin to reduce falling; Washing the carriage
and the tires with water before the vehicles go out of the loading or unloading
sites; the truck will avoid passing through the central area of the city and try
to avoid the residential area as well as the sensitive points.
*      Appoint one full-time managerial person of environment protection for each
construction contract section, whose responsibilities are to guide and manage
the disposal, transport and storage of waste from the project, construction
rubbish and construction materials, recover and harden the sites, clear the
mud, waste materials on the road in construction site as well as the mud on
the tires to prevent the secondary flying of the dust.
*      According to the investigation on the PMIO density change around the
construction site, the material factory, mixing station and other temporary
materials factories during construction must be more than over 50m away
from the resident areas and environmental sensitive points.
*      During construction, the Fuzhou Urban Traffic Management Bureau will do
well in traffic control in urban area. According to the construction plan, set
warning signs at the entrance to the city to remind the vehicles of traveling
from the external roads around the city. Do well in traffic control on external
roads to ensure the unblocking of the roads and prevent the traffic congestion
so as to reduce the impacts from the vehicle emission upon the ambient air.
*      If the vehicles are blocked due to the road construction in the urban area, the
traffic management department will set up the instant vehicle traveling
management method, for example, regulating the traveling route for the taxi
with odd and even dates, prohibiting the passing of motor vehicles and setting
one-way lane and so on.
4.2.3 Water environment
The Contractor will take the following measures to minimize the impacts from
construction activities upon the water environment.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection    2002.02    25



*      Prohibit draining and flowing waste water from construction randomly.
*      Clear the construction site in time, only when the waste water from
construction is treated in the temporary sand settlement bank can it be drained
into the drains to prevent some little matters such as sands and some sundries
such as some construction rubbish from being draining into drain pipeline.
*      Prohibit storing construction materials and rubbish at the place where the
waste water from the construction sites enters the drains and pay attention to
clearing the accumulating mud to prevent drain pipeline from choking.
*      The toilet for contractors in construction site will set temporary cesspool and
the fecal sewage will be drained into the drain after pretreatment in cesspool.
*      Besides enforcing management on the drainage of domestic sewage, the
Contractor will offer training to the contractor on basic environmental
protection to improve the consciousness and responsibility of environmental
protection.
*      The underground pipelines will not be damaged during construction, and
some measures will be taken to protect the underground pipelines.
4.2.4 Recovery of vegetation
Following mitigation measures will be taken to minimize the impacts on vegetation
damages.
*      As for the green belt occupied by the Contractor due to storing raw materials,
construction passage and construction sites, it will be recovered after
completing the project.
*      As for the trees in the place where the raw materials for construction are
stored, on the construction passage and in the construction sites, if they can
be planted in another place, take protective measures to plant them in another
place.
*      As for the trees in the place where the raw materials for construction are
stored, on the construction passage and in the construction sites, if it is
necessary to cut them due to the construction need while they can not be
planted in another places, they will be compensated according to the principle
of "cutting one, compensating two". There will be 4,542 trees to be cut within
the scope of the project and 9,084 trees will be planted as the compensation
after the project is accomplished.
4.2.5 Community
The following measures will be taken to mitigate the negative impacts upon the
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection   2002.02     26



community from the construction of the project.
*      All of the roads under reconstruction in urban area will be constructed in
half-closed manner and leave passages for the pedestrians, bicycles and
buses.
*      Build temporary roads and temporary bridge for the units and the residents
along the line and set necessary safety measures to ensure the unit and the
residents can go out conveniently and safely. At the same time, perform
centralized construction and quicken the construction progress to reduce the
impacts on the communities.
*      As for the section where some schools are located, carry out construction in
the summer holiday or in other holidays to reduce the impact upon the going
of the students.
*      All construction materials will be stored on special yards by categories and
types and kept by designated persons. The discarded materials will be
removed out of the site to reduce space occupation and traffic inconvenience.
*      As for the resident areas and the units that are separated due to being removed,
rebuild the fence within one month after accomplishing removing to reduce
the impacts from the external environment on the community security.
4.2.6 Traffic
During construction, the traffic flow on the neighboring or related sections will
increase and the vehicles will be crowded and the traveling speed will become slow
due to that of the construction sections or prohibiting the traveling of the vehicle, as a
result, the traffic congestion will become an issue affecting the communities. The
Nanjiangbinlu road component will be partially expansion and upgrading of existing
road. This a busy road and the primary access to the local community. Construction
on this road will seriously affect the existing traffic and people's outings. To mitigate
the impact, following measures will be taken:
*      Construction activities will be carefully planned. The road will not be closed
and construction will be conducted half of the road at a time and leave the
other half continued open to traffic.
*      Local traffic planning will be developed with the police before construction
starts. No local traffic will be detoured and the half road still open to traffic
will allow only local buses, bicycles, service vehicles, emergency vehicles,
etc. at least in certain hours of the day (e.g., rush hours). While the general
traffic will be detoured to other roads nearby. This plan will be announced to
the general public and the detour plan will be posted at the entrances of the
roads and will be enforced by the police as may be necessary particularly in
rush hours when all is competing for the road space.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection    2002.02    27



*      The priority for access of the road under construction will be given to the
locals to ensure the impacts of the construction on their daily life be
minimized. In addition, contractors will be requested to carefully manage the
construction sites.
*      Construction materials and waste piling will be carefully planned not to
occupy any road space. Loading/unloading will take place only at the low
traffic time and will not occupy the entire half road opening to traffic. Even
with vehicle loading/unloading, the contractors will have to make sure there
will be sufficient space on the road for buses.
*      The contractors will post staff at the construction sites to direct traffic when
needed, such as rush hours and when there is loading/unloading. The full
occupation of the road will be kept to the very minimum and will occur only
when it is absolutely necessary and can only be allowed for a short period of
time.
*      A billboard will be erected at the construction site to provide project
background, length of construction, traffic detour plan, as well as contact
name and telephone number for the public to express their concerns and
suggestions, if any.
*      Enforce traffic management rules and organization structure for traffic
management and policing.
*      Control the variation and the type of the passing vehicles, set lane on the
special sections and increase the change circle of traffic indication light to try
to reduce the traffic flow on the main truck
*      Strengthen the training to improve the quality of the traffic policemen to
enforce traffic management ability; emphasize on improving the quality of
the drivers to reduce the traffic jar due to the man-made factors.
*      Set up separation fence at both sides of the tracks of the roads for vehicles in
main urban areas to warn the pedestrians not to cross the road. Enforce the
management on the anchoring vehicles on the road and make it leave as
quickly as possible to avoid the impact on the normal passing of the vehicles
so as to increase the passing ability of the traffic of the roads.
4.2.7 Vibration
During construction, the following measures will be taken to mitigate the vibration
impacts.
*      Where possible, columns will be installed using excavated holes and onsite
casting. If steam, turbine or hammer style drilling machines must be used for
column construction, the contractors must apply to PMO first and these
drilling activities will be restricted to certain hours of the day.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Envirownental Protection     2002.02      28



*      Unless there are emergencies (emergent repair and emergent rescue), at night
(22:00-6:00), any construction equipment with great vibration impact will be
forbidden. However, if the equipment that is necessary due to the continuous
production, it will be submitted 3 days ahead to Fuzhou Environmental
Protection Bureau and it will be ready for approval from the People's
Government. Meanwhile, the affected units and persons should be informed
through media or other channels. The Contractor must set signs at striking
sites and give the telephone for complaint, names of the project, the
Contractor and the building unit.
*      Select construction machinery with low noise and vibration, and make
maintenance regularly.
*      At the section of Fanchuanpu Catholic Church, construction machinery with
large vibration will be prohibited.
4.2.8 Municipal facilities
The following measures will be taken to mitigate impacts of project construction on
municipal facilities and infrastructures:
*      2 days before the construction, the Contractor releases public notice on
newspaper or television to the public to make preparations.
*      If the water supply is to be cut off more than 2 days, water supply trucks will
be used to supply water to the affected residents.
*      Stoppage of power, gas or water caused by construction will be arranged at
night (22:00-6:00) as far as possible.
4.2.9 Cultural and historic sites
General
The over-ground cultural relics impacted by this project include Fanchuanpu Catholic
Church, Anlan Provincial Guide, Pushan Temple, Yan Fu's Former Residence, Linpu
Emplacement and Linpu Stone Pagoda. The following mitigation measures will be
taken during construction:
*      The transport vehicles will run with low speed in the urban area during
construction to reduce vibration. All construction plants will conduct civilized
construction.
*      The transport vehicles will be sealed during construction to avoid flying dust;
the road section for vehicle passing in and out will be sprayed water regularly.
*      During construction, the equipment with low noise will be adopted as far as
possible, corresponding noise reducing measures will be adopted, and
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02    29



construction at night is forbidden.
*      It is forbidden for the construction vehicles whistling when passing in and out
to avoid noise disturbing the residents.
According to Practice Measures of Protection of Fuzhou Relics, if any underground
relics are discovered during demolition, resettlement and construction, the Contractor
must stop construction immediately, inform the relics-protecting departments in
Fuzhou, and arrange construction activities according to the suggestions from the
departments. The Contractor will release the news to the public through the media.
Church Administrative Building Relocation
The administrative and dormitory building located at the north end of the church yard
will be relocated and rebuilt. The shipyard east of the church which originally belongs
to the church will be returned to church and the administrative building will be rebuilt
there with the same materials where possible. The rebuilt administrative and
dormitory building will be identical to the existing one with the some improvement
such as noise isolated windows. The plan has been consulted with the church
community many times and their concerns and opinions have been incorporated into
the relocation proposal.
The church administration/dormitory building is a brick and wood structure with
stone basement and wood floor. Basically the building is in good shape and
structurally according to expert observation sound although over a nearly hundred
years, some elements such as wooden windows and floors have been rotten, damaged
or lost. According to detailed site survey, investigation and structure studies by
historical building and structural experts from Fuzhou Building Design Institute, it has
been decided to dismantle and rebuild the building at the neighboring shipyard which
is to return to the church..
Based on relevant regulations, technical guidelines and site investigations and
measurements, Fuzhou Building Design Institute has developed a detailed moving
and rebuilding plan for the administration/dormitory building. The main steps of this
plan is described briefly as follows:
*      A full scaffolding will be erected to ensure careful and step by step
dismantling
*      Before scaffolding, the contractor will conduct a detailed and thorough
investigation of the building, structure, elements and other building features
*      Before scaffolding erection, all structure and building elements will be
numbered and marked on drawings
*      The dismantling will start from the top and work downward.
*      Each step of dismantling and every elements dismantled will be recorded as
structure, size, position, level of damages, particularly the joints
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     30



*      All dismantled elements will be carefully and safety-moved to re-construction
site, segregated and stored orderly
*      Dismantled bricks and tiles will be cleaned, stored orderly. If any replacement
is needed because of the unusable and damaged bricks, these new bricks will
be placed inside and places that are not visible.
*      The dismantling and re-construction contractors will be carefully selected and
trained.
*      For wooden and other structural and building elements, if damaged, efforts
will be given to repair or duplicate them according to Historical Building
Wood Structure Maintenance and Strengthening Technical Guidelines
(GBSO 1 61).
*      The base panel at the roof appears to be totally rotten and beyond repair and
thus will be replaced with 350x 1 Ox 15 sheet panels
*      Roof re-construction will follow the exactly the same style of the existing
structure
*      All structures and framework will be reconstructed in the same way as the
existing structure. In the places where identical re-construction cannot be
achieved or re-construction in the same style is very difficult or not safe, the
designers will be called in to determine the alternative construction methods
with the objective to maintain the same architectural style toe the maximum
extent possible.
*      The reconstructed administration/dormitory building will finally be painted
with the paints which can best reflect the original and historical flavor.
Mitigation of Vibration Impact to Main Church Building
The mitigation measures for the Church to vibration impacts of project construction
and operation are described in Section 4.1.3 of this EMP.
Mitigation measures for other cultural relics
Anther potentially impacted cultural relics site is the Pushan Temple. There are no
regular services at the temple although it is opens to all worshipers and noise 3rd ring
road second phase may affect the temple operation. As a mitigation measure, the road
alignment at this particular location has modified to retreat by about 10 m to maintain
sufficient distance between the road and the temple.
4.2.10 Chance-Find Procedures
Although the EA has made detailed site investigation and consulted cultural relics
authorities and impacts on known cultural relics have been analyzed and mitigation
measures proposed, there could still be potential for chance finds of archaeological
properties during construction. To minimize adverse impacts or damages to these
chance finds, the following procedures have been proposed and will be incorporated
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection    2002.02    31



into contractors' standard operation procedures:
*       When a chance find or potential chance find is uncovered at the construction
site, all construction activities at the site will be immediately put hold.
*       Workers and site management are responsible to take necessary measures to
protect the chance finds from damages by construction related or other
activities such as sliding, flooding, damages by machinery, access by others,
stolen, etc.
*       Contractors will notice the PMO, project owner and cultural relics authority
immediately.
*       Site investigation by professional archaeologists may be conducted to
determine the nature, value, conditions, areas of the find, etc. On this basis,
the professional team will recommend on next steps as to preserve the site or
not.
*       Construction may only resume following the reports of the professional
investigation and approval of the cultural relics authority.
*       If the site is of high value and site preservation is recommended by the
professionals and requested by the cultural relics authority, the project
owner will need to make necessary design changes to accommodate the
request and preserve the site.
*       All contractors and construction supervision companies will be trained by
the professional before the construction starts to understand the procedures
and the basics on how to recognize a potential archaeological chance find.
4.2.11 Contractor Management
It is recognized that contractors working on the project will be a key in environmental
management, pollution control and impact mitigation during construction. A number of
measures will be taken to ensure that the contractors will be aware of their
responsibilities and obligations in environmental protection. These measures include
*      All contractors and construction supervision will be required to participate in a
mandatory environmental training program prior to the start of construction
onsite.
*      The above mitigation measures will be, where appropriate, included in the
tendering documents for contractors and eventually in the construction
contracts so that they will be the contractual requirements for contractors
working on the project.
*      Contractors will be requested to monitor their environmental activities and
provide a dairy on environmental performance on a daily or weekly basis.
These records will be subject to supervision and review by the PMO and
construction monitoring teams.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Enviromnental Protection   2002.02     32



*       All contractors will be requested     to  provide  a dedicated, full time
environmental staff on each section of the project roads. These environmental
staff will be trained by the training program first to be qualified for their job.
No contracts will be deemed effective and started prior to completion of the
environmental training.
*       The contractors will be requested to communicate and consult the communities
where they work. An eye-catching public notice board will be erected in each
road section to notice the public of the main construction activities at this
particular site and construction duration. At the same time, the board will
provide contact names and telephone numbers to the public to express their
concerns and complaints about the construction activities.
An environmental requirement for bidders, which may be included in the bid
documents, is presented in Appendix I.

disposition, transportation and piling up of engineering
spoil, building refuse and building materials on the
construction sites, and site recovery and hardening will be
managed strictly. According to the investigation on change
of the concentration of PM10 surrounding the construction
sites, the distance between the material plant, mixing station
and other temporary material plant for construction and the
residential areas and environmental sensitive points will not
be less than 50 m. In the construction phase, the municipal
traffic management departments will do well the traffic
dredging works. According to construction plan, set warning
signs at the entrance to the city to remind the vehicles of
traveling from the external roads around the city. Do well in
traffic management on external roads to ensure the
unblocking of the roads and prevent the traffic jar so as to
reduce the influences from the waste gas of the vehicle on
the environment and air. If the vehicles are blocked due to
the road construction in urban area, the traffic management
department can set down the instant vehicle traveling
management method, for example, regulating the traveling
route for the taxi with odd and even date, prohibiting turning
left at the main crossing and setting one-way lane and so on.
Prohibit draining and flowing wastewater from construction
randomly. Clear the construction site in time. Only when the
wastewater from construction is treated in the temporary
sand settlement bank can it be drained into the drains to
prevent some little matters such as sands and some sundries Contractor
such as some construction rubbish from being draining into

enforcing management on the drainage of living wastewater,
the contractor will offer training to the contractor on basic
environmental protection to improve the consciousness and
responsibility of environmental protection.
As for the green belt damaged by construction activities, if
they can be planted in another place, take protective  Contractor
measures to plant them in another place after the
construction. If it is necessary to cut them due to the  Fuzhou

accomplished.
All roads under reconstruction in urban area will be
constructed in half-closed manner. Build temporary roads
and temporary bridge for the units and the residents along
the line and set necessary safe measures to ensure the unit
and the residents can go out conveniently and safely. As for

transport the waste from the construction in time to reduce
the influences on the land occupied by the materials and the
traffic. As for the resident areas and the units that are
separated due to being removed, rebuild the fence within one
month after accomplishing removing.
When setting down road construction plan, pay attention to
planning and reasonable arrangement; at the same time
perform construction in different period to reduce the traffic
jam due to the same direction of the vehicles. This project
will be constructed in half-closed manner and allow the
buses and the bicycles to travel while prohibit the traveling
of the vehicles through Fuzhou to ensure the unblocking of
the buses. In the busy section, the crossing of the road
cannot be constructed in fully closed manner, but in
half-closed manner, at the same time set one-way street to
ensure the unblocking of the bus. Enforce traffic
management and organization. All of the vehicles through
Fuzhou will travel along the extemal ring route and it is  Fuzhou

vehicles on the road and make it leave as quickly as possible
to avoid the influences on the normal passing of the vehicles
so as to increase the passing ability of the traffic of the
roads.

4.3 Operation phase
4.3.1 Noise control and acoustic environment improvement
*       Fuzhou Environment Protection Bureau takes charge of the sustained
improvement of noise standard of vehicle. Thk Fuzhou Traffic Management
Bureau of Fuzhou Public Security Bureau, together with Fuzhou Environment
Monitoring Station, is in charge of the regular inspection of the vehicle noise
and monitoring of improvement of standard-exceeding vehicles. Vehicles that
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection          2002.02      36



are far out of standard will be rejected. The noise-controlling plan and
objectives of each vehicle will be established to reduce its noise value step by
step.
*      The department of traffic police is in charge of enforcing rules and
regulations of urban traffic management, such as prohibiting overload or
overlarge vehicle to travel on the viaduct and limiting the traveling speed of
vehicle especially at night.
*      Fuzhou Urban Management Bureau is in charge of reducing the road
vibration and maintaining the sound insulation (sound barrier) equipment
regularly, repairing and maintaining the road surface.
4.3.2 Vibration
During operation, under the condition of unchanged ratio of vehicle type and speed,
the vibration level at both sides of the road will increase with damage extent of the
road surface day by day. If the condition of the road surface remains the same, the
vibration level ascents with the increase ratio of the vehicle type (especially the ratio
of large and mediate vehicles), and with the increase of traveling speed. If the road
surface is more deeply damaged and the ratio of vehicle type (especially the
proportion of large and mediate vehicles) and traveling speed increases, the vibration
level at both sides of the road will also largely increase.
To prevent and reduce the impacts on the vibration environment at both sides of the
road during the operation and to make it be in accordance with the requirement of
GBI0070-88 Environmental Vibration Standards of Urban Area, we must take the
corresponding measures of traffic management.
The department of traffic police is in charge of establishing the urban road and traffic
control system, for example, it rigidly limits the overload traveling on the
vibration-sensitive road at night and prohibits high speed traveling in the urban area
especially the heavy and mediate vehicle.
Fuzhou Urban Management Bureau is in charge of maintaining the road according to
the related regulations.
4.3.3 Ambient air
As indicated in the EIA of this project, the air quality will become worse along the
project roads. Even the improvement in air quality on a city aisle basis will be offset
over time as motor vehicle traffic increases and traffic speed decreases. Therefore, in
order to sustain the improvement of air quality in Fuzhou City, the project will make a
certain investment for motor vehicle emission control.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection    2002.02    37



4.3.3.1 Continuous implementation of the existing motor vehicle emission control
measure
Fuzhou has made very much progress in controlling the emission from vehicles, in the
coming future it will continue to perform and enforce these measures to control the
emission from the vehicle.
*      Enforce management on the sales of new-type vehicles, make sampling
inspection regularly on all kinds of new ones in the market, and carry on the
sale rules of standard emission.
*      Reject the vehicle strictly according to the state Vehicle Rejection Standard.
All of the rejected vehicles must be recycled and mustn't be resold or
transferred.
*      Strengthen the emission control of the existing motor vehicles and implement
the  annual   inspection  and  sampling  inspection  system.  The
standard-exceeding vehicles must be treated until up to standard with a
specified time limit. From 2007 on, the dual idle emission inspection will be
progressively implemented and then I/M system
*      Control the increasing speed of the vehicle, especially the newly increasing
taxis, motorbikes and mini motorbikes.
4.3.3.2 Motor vehicle emission control
The existing motor vehicle emission control (MVEC) measures currently in the city
will be strengthened and improved. Many of the existing programs can be very
effective, such as the I/M program and clean fuel conversion program. These
programs will continue and to cover all relevant motor vehicles in the city. In addition,
the ambient air quality monitoring will continue to evaluate the trend of air pollution
particularly with relation to motor vehicle emission and the effectiveness of the
current programs.
Although the motor vehicle emission is a city wide issue, and not just project related,
some program strengthening will carried out at the same time with the construction of
this project, according to the city's EPB. The city will provide the funding to the
strengthening from its government budget, which includes the following:
*      Purchase and use a movable environmental air monitoring minibus and a
movable emission monitoring minibus to enforce the I/M system.
*      Increase 2 fixed automatic air monitoring stations and a central control room
to promote the environment and air quality inspection system in Fuzhou.
4.3.3.3 Improvement of public traffic
Establish the information management and dispatching system of urban public transit
in Fuzhou to improve the level of public transit management and service; take policy
of placing public transit in priority; The implementation of these measures will
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     38



effectively reduce the pollution of emission from vehicle in Fuzhou and have positive
significance in improving the environment and air quality of Fuzhou.
4.3.3.4 Road improvement
The two sub-projects of road maintenance as well as traffic control and safety in this
project aim at taking full- advantage of road resources, improving road and traffic
conditions, and increasing the flat level of the road surface through managing and
engineering measures, such as establishing area traffic control system (ATC),
intersection channelization, setting separate belt of vehicle and non-vehicle. They also
aim at decreasing vehicle start-stop frequency and increasing vehicle traveling speed.
The implementation of these measures will largely mitigate the pollution of emission
from vehicle in Fuzhou.
4.3.4 Landscape
This project will protect the trees and green belts along the both sides of the road
reconstructed and expanded to the utmost, as well as plant trees and grass by the two
sides of the newly built road according to different structures of the roads. Fuzhou
Landscape Bureau will be responsible for carrying out the work.
4.3.5 Sunlight
Continue to strictly control the height of the buildings by the two sides of the roads as
well as the distance between the sunlight sensitive buildings and the red line on the
road.
4.3.6 Water environment and fisheries
Maintain the rainwater pipelines on Kuiqi Bridge surface to prevent the runoff from
discharging down into the river; manage the buffer pools built on the both sides of
Kuiqi Bridge so that the possible leaking contaminant will be led into the pools and be
disposed.
Further improve the layout of drain pipeline all over the city, enforce the management on the
sewage disposal equipment in the public transit terminals and head and end bus depots to make the
discharge of sewage up to the standards.
As discussed in the EA report, migratory fish and aquaculture sites in Minjiang river near Kuiqi
bridge may be impacted by the bridge construction and to a lesser extent, operation. However,
according the fish bureau, although the impact can be considered modest, the exact extent of the
impacts will require very detailed and long term studies. Based on detailed consultation with the
fisheries experts at the fish bureau, mitigation of introducing fish fry or juvenile fish down stream
from the bridge on the migrating routes to ensure any impact by the bridge to the migratory fish
will be compensated. The introduction will be done on the yearly basis at the fish spawning and

migration seasons.
4.3.7   Waste Management
The operation of the project (road and bridge operation) would contribute to the increase in waste
generation in the city. For example, the increased use of motor vehicles would result in increased
waste batteries, tires, as well as air emissions. Control and minimization of these waste and
mitigation of impacts brought by the waste generation are a city wide issue. They are not
exclusively related to the projects as the motor vehicles will not only operate on the project roads
and bridge but other parts of the city as well.
As part of the project impact mitigation measures, the project will include a technical
assistance for sector wide and strategic environmental impact assessment for urban
transportation sector. Among the issues to be covered by this environmental
assessment will be the citywide policies on waste minimization and impact control.
Although details will be developed during this strategic EA, some of the general
considerations for waste impact mitigation include:
*       Recycling programs will be set up for both waste tires and batteries from
motor vehicles.
*       There will organizations set up for collection, recycling, storage, and reuse of
these waste;
*       Any residual or un-recycled parts from these waste will be disposed of in safe
manners. In particular, batteries are hazardous waste and disposal of batteries
have to be in secured and certified facilities
*       A study will be initiated to consider the policy of tire and/or batteries levies to
discourage over uses of batteries and tires and collect fees for disposal costs
as "polluters pay" principle.
*       A motor vehicles emission control strategy for the city will be developed to
deal specifically of the impacts of motor vehicle emissions.
The operation of industrial facilities (paper mills and match factory) along the
proposed Nanjiangpinlu road extension may result in site contamination. Preliminary
invcstigation shows that the dominant environmental discharges from paper mills are
wastewater, although some chemicals, primarily corrosive and alkaline based
chemicals, are also used in the paper making process. Both the match making and
paper mills rarely use any significant amount of materials of concerns (MOCs) or
materials with long lasting impacts and other hazardous materials such as persistent
organic pollutants (POPs). The most potential concerns in those facilities are related
to fuels and lubricant oils used in production which contain petroleum oil and heavy
metals. Chlorinated organics (POPs) may be present if small amount of the
chlorinated solvents are used. Other than that, the potential risks of soil and
groundwater contamination is low. However, soil samples may need to be collected
during project implementation to confirm the soil contamination status (a Phase II site
assessment). The surface and subsurface soil samples will be collected from areas
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection         2002.02      40



with soil discoloration or other signs of suspended contamination and chemicals
storage, heavy chemical usage, water yard, and underground storage tanks (if any)
areas. If serious soil and groundwater contamination is found during the site
investigation, the area of contamination will be delineated and site remediation will be
conducted which may likely involve removal of contaminated soil and dispose it in
secured landfill, pumping out contaminated groundwater and discharged after the
treatment, contaminated site insulation or seal off and other remediation measures, as
the site warranted and as may be appropriate.
The estimated cost for the site assessment will be RMB60,000. This fund will cover a
professional team with experience of site assessment for soil and groundwater
sampling, result analysis, recommendations for further actions, such as delineation
and remediation as may be necessary, and reporting; a drilling contractor if
sub-surface soil and groundwater sampling is warranted, and a qualified laboratory for
soil and groundwater testing. At minimum, the testing parameters will include heavy
metals and petroleum oil Other parameters may also be included in the testing
program if other chemicals (e.g., chlorinated solvents) are used in the manufacturing
and operation of those industrial facilities and there are signs of leaking, spills and
other ways of soil contamination, present or in the past. The additional testing will be
decided by the professional team which will conduct the sampling.
Since at this time, there is no information on whether there is any site contamination
at these areas, no remediation programs can be planned or budgets estimated at time
this EMP is prepared. However, the PMO has committed on behalf of the government,
that should site contamination be identified and confirmed, an appropriate plan for
remediation will be developed and implemented and the project owner will fund the
necessary site clean up activities.

Public consultation will be a continued process throughout the project implementation.
During construction phase, all construction sites will be requested to erect
eye-catching billboards to explain the project background, duration, type of impacts
(block traffic, noise operation, etc.) as well as contact information for the site
management and environmental staff. The telephone numbers in the billboards would
allow the concerned or otherwise affected public to have ways to voice their opinions
and suggestions for improvement. Contractors will be requested to respond to public
concerns to minimize the disturbances to the communities.
5. Environmental monitoring program
In order to acknowledge effects of all mitigation measures, to respond to some
unexpected environmental issues in advance, and to verify accuracy of the
environmental impact prediction, environmental monitoring program will be
especially developed during the construction and operation phases. Environmental
monitoring program should be worked out according to different phases including
duty of data collection and analysis, and report requirement etc.
Objectives of environmental monitoring program are to evaluate effectiveness of the
mitigation measures, to respond to the unanticipated environmental issues at an early
stage in the period of "Two Roads & One Bridge" project construction; Complying
with the monitoring data, draw up policies, improve transportation administration and
revise or amend environmental measures. Proprietors will entrust. Fuzhou
Environmental Monitoring Department to carry out this work.

5.3 Monitoring Institutes & Monitoring Data Management
Monitoring institution (pending) will be in charge of environmental monitoring in
construction and operation of "Two Roads & One Bridge" project.
Environmental monitoring data is pretty valuable for the future environmental
management, by checking the data, we are able to detect if the changes of
environment quality are consistent with the expected results, and also the data
provides scientific foundations for formulating and revising environmental
administrative measures in the future, furthermore, it is helpful to set up file and data

6. Environmental management and monitoring
Road engineering will always have impact on environment in its construction and
operation. According to natures of the project itself, although the environmental
impact range is large and the extent is relatively profound, its impact has particular
timeliness, along with accomplishment of the engineering, such impact will be ended
too. However, the impact occurring in operation is long-term. Therefore, we must
reinforce environment protection management, take effective monitoring measures,
and minimize environmental impact.

to solve those problems.
6.2    Environmental management
6.2.1  Environmental management in construction
In order to effectively control environmental pollution in construction, not only do the
construction quality and progress manage, but also supervise and inspect civilized
construction, fulfillment -of mitigation measures of environmental impact and
implementation of contract items concerning environmental protection in the phases
of construction.
(1) During the overall contracting of the project, the employer should list
environmental protection measures, which are taken in construction, in the
contract documents, and require construction unit to implement them strictly, and
carry out rewarding and punishment system.
(2) The construction unit should carry out construction on the basis of contract items
and each environmental protection rule and law produced by national and local
government, as well as have civilized construction and protect environment in the
light of each environmental protection measure and suggestion proposed in the
statement of environmental assessment.
(3) Entrust the supervision department with competent quality to deploy full time
supervision engineer of environmental protection, and the engineer will supervise
the construction unit to fulfill each environmental protection measure in
construction.
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection  2002.02     49



(4) Construction unit should configure full time (part time) environment
administrators at each construction site, and they will take care of site control and
management of various sources of pollution, particularly strict control of
construction facility with high noise and vibration, and its construction time.
(5) Accomplish propagation. Due to the limit of technologic conditions and
construction environment, even take relevant controlling measures, the
environmental pollution caused by construction is still unavoidable. Thus, the
construction unit should well accomplish propagation to the residents along and
in the effected zone so as to improve their psychological bearing ability to the
inferior impact, as well as acquire understanding, overcome temporary difficulty
and cooperate with construction unit to complete the project smoothly.
(6) Implement environmental assessment of demolition resettlement addresses
chosen for the residents beforehand, carry out scientific planning, and perfect
corollary installation so as to ensure living standards of the residents to be
relocated.
(7) Establish competent department and the construction unit should particularly set
up office of letter and calls and special telephone number for complaints. Deal
with public complaints and appoint a special person to solve problems within a
time limit, and handle public complaints appropriately.
6.2.2  Environmental management in operation period
Environmental management in operation is a long term work, and it must have a
perfect administrative institution and system, and all rules of environment supervision
and management must be well developed on this basis, carry out routine maintenance
and testing of each environmental protection facility so as to ensure normal operation;
according to the environmental monitoring results, formulate plans of improving or
amending environmental protection measures.
6.3    Training program
For improving levels of professionals and administrators, we need to further enhance
their professional skills and administration methods following the items listed in table
13.1-2. Propose 4 persons who are in charge of environmental monitoring in Fuzhou
Environmental Protection Bureau and 2 persons from office of World Bank, 6 persons
in total to participate training abroad.
The environmental consciousness and professional knowledge of environmental
protection that the contractor is qualified with are quite essential to ensure successful
implementation of the environmental action programs. Domestic trainings are aimed
to the contractor that will take part in the construction of" Two Roads & One Bridge"
project and the professionals of environmental protection from the administrative
Guangzhou Research Institute of Environmental Protection   2002.02     50



institutes in operation.
6.3.1   Overseas training programs
The overseas training program with duration of 3 weeks aims to help Fuzhou
environmental personnel master practical first-hand experience and technologies
required in urban transportation or in environmental management that is similar to
project's environmental management. Training styles include lecture course of
technology, visits (environmental management institutions, research institutes,
universities), practical investigation (environmental facilities and projects), acquiring
practical experience by having discussions and practicing in the environmental
consultant company
This training program, to be taken place two months before the construction
commencement, will enhance trainees' technologies, abilities of administration and
operation. Study means of environmental assessment and monitoring of urban traffic
project; acknowledge skills of motor vehicles' test and its pollution control. The

The project impact mitigation and environmental management plant
starts at the same time with each of the implementation schedule. As
described above, starting from the design stage, mitigation measures
will be adopted. There will also be specific mitigation measures and
action items to be taken during the construction and operation phases.
Fuzhou Municipal Development Corporation, the project owner, will
have the overall responsibilities for EMP implementation, through
guidance to the design, incorporating environmental requirements in the
bids and contracts, construction supervision and monitoring and
supervision during the operational phase. The specific mitigation
measures are to be taken by different responsible parties. Contractors
will have contractual obligations for many of the measures for the
construction phases while the transportation bureau will be responsible
for any environmental management actions during the operation phase.
Where it is needed some mitigation measures will be taken ahead of the
commencement of construction to ensure that impact minimization.
Impacts and mitigation implementation will be monitored and reported
to the project owner periodically.
