Industry Relocation and Environmental Management By nature the project context is the incremental industrial growth and expansion from eastern coastal area to hinterland of China. The project aims to build an infrastructure platform to receive the industrial expansion in Xuancheng which holds an exceptional geographical location to meet the objective. Compared to neighboring Jaingsu and Zhejiang provinces, Xuancheng enjoys relatively abundant and cheaper land and human capital, and good quality environmental resources. Therefore, it is more precise to consider the project an industrial expansion project. It is possible that a few factories would close its original plants and move to XEDTZ2. The closing, equipment decommissioning and relocation shall comply with national and local regulations. And the XEDTZ shall put their compliance as screening criteria before receiving the enterprises. A policy analysis was carried out to study Chinese national regulations in terms of solid waste management, contaminated site clean-up. Such regulations in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Guangdong have been examined as well. Based on the review, it is clear that a “polluters pay� principle is applied to address the issue. Local governments are responsible for supervision and enforcement in this regard. Therefore, local environmental authorizes take the responsibility of the industrial relocation and legacy issues under its jurisdiction. Original plant owner shall be responsible for remediate environmental impacts such as contaminated soils following relevant regulations and technical standards. The XEDTZ2 land use pattern has been determined as Category 1 and 2 industrial land use, meaning from legal perspective heavy pollution industries such as refinery, chemical are not allowed to enter XEDTZ2. Overall, when screening new enterprises, XEDTZ will strictly follow land use plan and SEA requirements to carefully select and conduct due diligence of incoming enterprises. Environmental issues, if any, associated with the relocation process will need to be identified and incorporated into the screening criteria. -4- China: Anhui Xuancheng Infrastructure for Industrial Relocation Project November, 2012 3 Environmental and Social Baselines 3.1. Environmental Characteristics of XEDTZ2 The XETDZ2 is located in the northwest of Xuancheng City with a floor area of about 25 km2. Its landforms are mainly downland and plan and the land use types are mainly farmland, tea garden, idle land and a few residential lands. The XETDZ2 is characterized by the following:  Typical agricultural area;  Good water, power and gas supply and convenient transportation;  Good environmental quality and considerable environmental assimilation capacity;  The XETDZ2 scale and needed infrastructures are expanding rapidly and will be increased quickly. 3.2. Resource and Environment Limit The XETDZ2 is identified to have the following resource and environment limitation factors.  The land resources available for development in Xuancheng City are limited. Concentrated infrastructure and industrial development in the XETDZ2, which is an efficient way in terms of land use and conducive to environmental management.  Xuancheng belongs to acid rain control area. Coal-based energy use therefore shall be limited in order to reduce impacts to ambient air quality.  In the vicinity of XEDTZ2 there is a Jingting Mountain Scenic Area which requires limiting air emissions from industries. 3.3 Functional Zoning of Regional Environment 1. Surface water Zhouhan River, Qingyijiang River, Changqiao River and Xijing River are subject to water quality standard Class III in Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838—2002). 2.
