 EIA andEP Execution Franme of LRIP                                                    I General Provisions



                                      1 General Provisions

1.1 Project Background

     Ankang Highway Project covers 108 road construction and reconstruction of local roads in Ankang,

Shaanxi Province, including 29 roads in Hanbin District, 18 roads in Langao County, and 61 roads in

Ziyang County. By the construction plan, the project investment in 2006 is supposed to be 110.9362 million

RMB yuan on 28 road rebuilding, 99.0969 million yuan in 2007 on 24 road rebuilding, 94.5838 million

yuan in 2008 on 34 roads rebuilding, 74.5579 million yuan in 2009 on 26 roads rebuilding and 54.4527

million yuan on 12 roads rebuilding.

     ChangAn University takes charge of the project environment impact assessment. An EIA team was set

up and proceded the field survey in July 2005 along the route. After the investigation and inquiry at the

villages on land to be impacted and confiscated, the EIA and its Implementation of the Country Road of

Ankang Highway Development Program (first draft) has been completed in Sep. 2005.

     In Sep. 2005, the World Bank EP experts reviewed the project area and inspected initially the EPA

before them the pertinent modifications. Accordingly, the compiling of the EIA and its Implementation of

the Country Road of Ankang Highway Development Program (amended) was approached in Nov. 2005.

1.2 Purposes of EIA and EPA

     The inspection and assessment of the ecology within the project area could ensure the natural and

quantitative analysis on the local ecologic influence from the project activities. Such purpose can be

reached by the following measures.

      ( I ) Supply of feasible EP methods and suggestions for construction instructions and operational

management can reduce or eliminate the ill impact from the project for the balance between construction

project and environmental protection.

       (2) Supply of scientific basis for government programming and management.

       (3) Fulfilling of pretective measures from EIA.

       (4) Good environmental performance tallies with WB policy.

 1.6 Drawing Principles for                   Environmental Protection                  Implementation
        This plan is going to be       made to be instructions and        guidance for later EIA and        environmental
 protections in later time.
        According to the feasibility     report and the project time   schedule, the practical   details for countryroad
 project are listed by stages    and elements. Still, the management       and supervision organs are      established for
 its implementation.

        The EAP, as the general frame,        contains instructive articles    for later guidance. The upper       EIA can
 refer to the analysis on the    topical section within, from    which the environmental       implementation plan can
 be drawn out.

                                         2 Project Survey

2.1 Origin of Ankang Countryroad Project

      Ankang - Shaanxi-Sichuan boundary expressway, containing Ankang Countryroad Project, to be
loaned by the World Bank, is located in the very south part in Shaanxi Province. It is one section of the
provincially-leveled Arong - Xi'an - Chongqing - Beihai expressway through the nation from the north to

the south, also one of the state-leveled Baotou - Maoming Expressway in Shaanxi Province. This passage

links the major developing regions the northwest and southeast China. In consequence, the Ankang            -

Shaanxi-Sichuan boundary expressway will play a key role in promoting national west exploitation

stragedy, quickening the backward mountains and locals away from poverty.,

      Ankang - Shaanxi-Sichuan boundary expressway originates at Yinyaying village of Hanbin District,

Ankang City. Meeting the Xiaohe-Ankang expressway, it goes via Liushui, Ziyang county, Gaotan, Maoba,

and ends at Baiyangxi, the boundary area between Shaanxi and Sichuan Provinces. Totally, the length

amounts to 88.442km, with its overall investment of 7.227 billion RMB Yuan, 300 million US dollars out

of it to be loaned from the World Bank.

     Among the neighboring countryside around the expressway, traffics of county, town or village levels

are to be improved, which is called Ankang Countryroad Development Project. The WB loaned

countryroad project has its plan around the axes of the Expressway, reaching the north at Fenghuang Mount

in the south of Yuehe River, the south at Shaanxi-Sichuan boundary, the west at Liaoyuan and Songping of
Ziyang County, the east at Langao city proper. The whole area covers 2000km2 in size.
      All the roads to be rebuilt are selected by the following rules. (Da road for easy external

communications other than the expressway; (2) a road for smooth human and material transport, large area
overlaid; ®)a road for purpose at poverty relief, fundamental for covering and driving more people in poor

regions to be good; (a) current road rebuilding in prominent consideration. Convenience for local people

access to the expressway is the basic rule for road selections. 108 roads are chosen, 1481km in total, and

the overall expenses will be 433 million RMB Yuan (US$53 million).

       Current road rebuilding focus on upgrading at original alignment, that is, to widen the roadbed, to fix

 the protection works, to complete the drainage, and to improve the surface. The new road takes appropriate
 standard, with less cut and more masonry, to care also the drainage and environmental protections.
       The countryroads are all located in mountainous regions. As the only passage for the remote people in

 communications with the outer world, the expressway and the countryroad system will be fundamental for

 releasing their poverty.

 2.2 Project Survey

       The expressway will drive the countryroad system undoubtfully. It will stimulate the locals like

 Hanbin District, Lango County and Ziyang County in their poverty relief, as well as the countryroad   system,

 including 29roads in Hanbin, 18 in Langao and 61 in Ziyang.

       Ankang - Shaanxi-Sichuan boundary expressway has 86.902km in length, to be started in 2006 and

 completed in 2010, lasting 5 years, with the overall investment of 7.227 billion RMB Yuan. Among          the

 overall investment, 35 million US dollars (about 2.9 billion RMB Yuan) are to be loaned from the World

 Bank, I billion RMB Yuan loan from the national banks and the rest to be prepared by Shaanxi provincial

 government.

       The countryroad project contains 108 roads, 1481km long, with the overall investment of 433.6275

 million RMB Yuan out of the World Bank loan. The countryroad project will provide easy pavements from

 the expressway construction, easy convenience for local better off.

       According to the Ankang countryroad construction plan, in 2006, 110.9362 million RMB Yuan will be

 invested for 28 road rebuilding, 99.0969 million RMB Yuan for 24 road rebuilding in 2007, 94.5838

 2.3 Technical norms               and engineering            quantities
        In the project, there are I provincial    leveled road, 74.5km      long, 12 county     leveled roads,    463.704km
 long, 13 town    roads of 191.4km     long, and 82 village    roads of 751.8km       long. The provincial      leveled road
 works adopt the    grade III standards    for heavy rolling  regions, paved     with asphalt, county     road works under
 grade IV standards      for heavy rolling     regions by dual     lanes, town road       under grade IV       heavy rolling
 standards, single   lane and asphalt    pavement, and    the village road    under grade IV      heavy rolling    standards,
 single lane and  sand-gravel pavement.
       Materials for the  project like cement,    reinforcement,    asphalt etc are  purchased in     local place, the   same
 to the gravel,   rubble, or rocks.    The taking of     stones needs      relevant and necessary       permissions.     Such
 proceeding should    intensify the defence    to avoid water   erosion and human       casualties.
       Technical norms    for this project  are shown in table   2-1, of the works    amounts in table      2-2.
 2.4 Traffic Forecast

        1. Status quo

        The current road   systems in Ankang      region are poor    in traffic condition,   as it scatters the  countryside
 and locals don't   have plenty of   vehicles. Traffic   volume doesn't      vary much. The      analysis and forecast     on
 local traffic volume    and compositions     have been made,     and the sectional      traffic observation    for 24 hours
 (table 2-3) educes  the following   conclusion.
        (1) Majorities   ofcurrent road    section are in  low degrees and     bad conditions.     Weather factors    restrict
  the local people   of their normal   coming in and     out. It is partial  reason why there     keeps low traffic    on all
  sections, only  621 veh/h at the   best spot. The  local economic     and social benefits    can't be easily   gained.

       (2) Sectional   traffic has close   pertinence with    the local economic       development.     Difference exists
apparently, relatively   well developed    towns, more traffics    it own, even 300     cars per hour, and    the relatively
lower developed    towns, less traffic  it has, about 100   cars per hour.
        (3) Mostly the   sectional traffics only meet the   basic needs for    local production    and transport.
       2. Forecast analysis:   Short distance   travel is popular   in the project   region. After the     project, there  is
almost no possible    traffic transfer.  The transfer traffic   can be overlooked.       Therefore, the     future traffic is

composed oftwo factors: uptrend      traffic and induced traffic.
      Uptrend traffic forecast:   Primary forecast tells the    potential economics in future    years, which can

affirm the increase rate of traffic, and the future traffic on the project roads, can   be achieved by growth rate

method.
      The regional social-economic      and traffic, as well as the  expectations can confirm    the traffic growth

rate in the future year. The diagnostic year for traffic    forecast takes year 2010 and   2015. See the results in

table 2-4.
      Table 2-4                  Future Traffic Increase Ratio                      unit: %

Increase ratio                         | 13.0                                    11.0

      Induced traffic forecast:   Compared to the similar road       inside Shaanxi, the induced     traffic increase

ratio can be affirmed, in consultation with experts.      Such ration times the traffic  and the future traffic to be

induced gains.
      As the project area drops   behind in traffics, the daily   come and go only reach the    work and life needs

with limited times and intensities.      After the project, the whole      traffic is to be improved,     which will

stimulate the repressed traffic   needs and promote the local      economic conditions. Accordingly,      some more

traffic will be induced to some extension. All these      factors can ascertain 8%  as the future ratio.

       On the basis ofcurrent traffic,   the future sectional traffic volume  can be forecast, see in table2-5.


 2.5 Technical request            for country road

       1.Principles for norm selections
       The country roads in Ankang       are supposed to make use      of the World Bank loan for     upgrading and

 reconstructions. The technical   norms shall take the following     into account, for the best of the loan abilities.

         Current road rebuilding shall     focus on suitable upgrading     of the current road, on   the basis of the

 route unchanged, on widening     roadbed and reinforcing the     protection works and drainage,    so as to improve

 strength of surface and power    against disasters.
         New road construction shall     have suitable standard in designing,    with less excavation, more   buildup

 and perfect drainage.
         Some specialized sections,      like road to connect the      country proper and townships,       follow the

 standards of grade IV road,    4.5m-6.5m wide subgrade        and asphalt surface; road to   connect villages takes

 the standards of grade IV,   that is, subgrade width of   4.5m and sandy surface.

         2. Technical standards
        In accordance with the factors,    like the traffic forecast, project landform, MOC Technical       Norms for

  Highway Engineering (JTG        BO1-2003 ), as well as       the above principles, the   project countryroad to be

  meliorated is supposed to adopt    the grade IV for heavy rolling   regions.

        3. Technical demands of the project road

        A. Subgrade works

        (I)Subgrade width

        The project region is located in the heavy rolling area, with less traffic. All the roads take grade IV

road, of its subgrade width: 4.5m-6.5m.

         (2) Subgrade slope
        (0 At fill section, the slope adopts 1:1.5 as its gradient less than 1:10; at sections with no fill,
shoulder wall is set up.

        (2) At earth cut section, slope takes 1:15-0.75 by its depth and earth density; at rock cut section,

1:0.2-1:0.5 for its slope by its depth and its effloresce.

        (3) Land scope

        Road border scopes at Im out of the retaining wall of fill section, outer frank of cut slope or ditch

and the slope gutter of fill section.

         (4) Subgrade drainage

        Subgrade drainage goes from the ditch to culvert. The arch slope is supposed to be 2%, considering

the high precipitation and traffic easiness.

        (D Side ditch: Heighten the fill section less than 0.7m in height. Along the slope or the cut subgrade,

soil ditch or partial masonry ditch are set up for collection of surface water or slope flow. These ditches

take rectangle or echelon, of its bottom width no less than 0.4m.,
        © Gutter   works as the both sides ofsubgrade are farming land, or the upward water flows in size. It

drives water into rivers. The gutter can be rectangles, of its bottom no less than 0.4m wide.

        (5) Subgrade protections

        There are varieties of subgrade protections: fencing wall, retaining wall and bank protection.

        (0) Fencing wall is to be formed by masonry at some deep cur sections, where possible erosion may

occur because of poor earth or soil falling.

        (2)Retaining wall takes masonry in gravity or counter weight, when:

        a. The subgrade fill extends far, which leads to excessive fill or much farmland occupation or much

removal of structures.

        b. The semi-fill and semi-cut subgrade is hard to fill or the fill slope close to rivers.

        c. Some slopes extend into river banks or at portrait of river bank at high fill, deep cut or plump

ridge.

        d. Natural slope disturbs the mountain balance because of the excavation.

        (E) Bank protection:      Bridge length is to be shortened at flood section. 6m less inundate

embankment is built up, of its slope, paved with M7.5# masonry.

        (6) Subgrade borrow

        Try to use the extra cut to reduce the spoil. If there is no fill left, borrow from the river course and

from the neighboring hills.

          (7) Bridge and culvert design

        Bridge and culvert as the eternal structures shall guarantee its sufficient rigidity and endurance, and

safety and beauty are basic rules for its designing.

        The cross slope should not exceed 4%, and the grade in bridgehead approach not exceed 5%. Bridge

and culvert construction shall be coordinated with farming irrigations.

        B. Pavement Works

          ( I ) principles for pavement design

        Pavement design shall take all factors into account, like local climate, regional engineering geology,


                                                        14

hydrogeology, and    building material    distributions. To  make use of the current   road is strongly suggested.
          (2) Pavement width
        3.5-6.0m along     the route,   and the same to the     clear bridge width.
        (3) Pavement types

        As the project area   located in heavy rolling   region with much     rainfall and humidity,   surface shall be
featured in high  stability of water,  structure and high  slide resistance.
        (4) Pavement structure

        Asphalt surface on   the roads for connection    ofcounty proper     and township, and    sand and stone road
for village connections.

        C. Route facilities

        For the safety of  vehicles and goers,    traffic signs are   to be set up at big traffic section and  densely
populated spots,  in accordance with     Highway Traffic Sign      and Marks (BG5768-1999).

2.6 Engineering Impact                Analysis
        The country road     system to be rebuilt,    as the key regional     infrastructure, will promote the local
traffic environment   and enhance the local     social and economic     development. With    the benefits it brings  in,
some ecologic    pollution and damage       will occur. Variety     of measures for    ecologic protection    shall be
bringing forward,   so as to keep the  environmental protection      and engineering construction   in harmony.
        1. Impact on social  surroundings

        The project mostly   means the rebuilding     of current roads.   Except for some   sections, most roads   will
not change their   alignment, but in    lower index or    blocked because     of flood. The amelioration    of current
roads is supposed   to cut off or repair  the subgrade, pave     asphalt or sand-gravel   on. Traffic all weather   can
be realized. The  field investigation   and survey indicate     that the main ill  impact comes from     the farmland
occupation, which   will strain the local  agriculture to some    extent. The primary   estimate suggests   that the 28
country roads to  be rebuilt in the  first year will take  sloping field, wild   land and lowland    more than 3,000
mu.

        2. Impact on ecology

        Environmental     impact in construction   phase:
        1) Impact from soil  erosion: the embankment       fill and cut will bring damage to the vegetations     laying
over soil. Soil erosion may occur and block      the river course   as rainwater washes  out.
        2) Impact from material    transport: The load,    unload, transport,   or mix of material   for construction
could possibly produce    splash or dust, which   pollutes water, air   and crops.
        3) Impact from     construction noise:    all construction     machineries produce    noise, irregularly   and
discontinuously.   The sound sensitive      spots like the neighboring      residents or school    will be impacted
biggishly.

        4) Impact from    asphalt mix station:   The boiling, mixing      and paving of asphalt   mix will discharge
nocuous smoke and    gas in the air, which   will be no good to    hunan health nearby.
        5) Impact from sewage      let: Washing of    sand and rock and      mixing of asphalt    can generate waste
water. Both the waste    water and sewage      out of camps, to     be ejected into the  local rivers or dykes,   even
farming land, will  worsen the irrigational   water body.
       3. Environment    impact in operation    phase
       I) Pollution from    traffic noise:    The operational     noise comes mainly      from mechanic     vibration,
 exhausting, grating,  bodywork shaking,      hoot etc., which   reaches the both sides  ofthe route distinctly.
       2) Pollution from     exhaust gas: Exhaust        gas out of vehicles,     mostly NO2 CO        etc. brings in
atmospheric pollution,   and sizable exhaust    can jeopardize human     health.
        3) Impact on water     and soil: Runoff     discharge in operation     phase engender     the soil and water

environment along the route    because ofits infecting factors  like PH, SS, CODC, and oils.

        Pavement runoff, as the key    factor to contaminate the  water bodies in operation     phase, when gas or

sump leakage occurs as the      vehicles in bad maintenance    or in accident, may flow      with rainfall into the

neighboring water body out     of discharger. Some injurants,  like oils, CODcr, organics   and TSP settled on the

road surface, can be brushed    into the ditch or farmland nearby, overcharging some      water contaminations.

        4. Biologic protection  measures

        (1).Design phase
        1)Try to make use of local    material for construction.

        2) On condition of acceptable     landform and geology, try     to cut off the original route    in order to

   shorten the length and decrease      the farmland occupation,    as long as the work amounts        don't exceed

    much.
        3) In accordance with the    technical norms, design  ofvertical section is apt to  less fill and excavation

so as to keep soil and slope   stable. Ecologic damage can   be mitigated.

        4) At plain section, subgrade   height shall be kept low  in design for less fill, on thebasis of net height

  ofstructure and least fill  height as planed.
         5) Drainage shall give priority    to the connection with current   conduit, which means no      damage to

 the intrinsic water system   and no new erosion from new    waterline.

         (2). Construction phase
         1) Soil taking and spoiling   run collectively; level and renew    the surface timely after    earth taking;

 sufficient drainage are needed     on both sides of the road;   slopes can be planted with      grass or anchored;

 construction sequence is reasonably     performed, such as less excavation   in rainy season.

         2) All vehicles for transport    in bulk and material spot shall    be covered in case of dripping       and

 spillage. Road surface keeps    clean by sprinkling all thetime.

         3) Low noisy machineries      are to be chosen and perform      with reasonable measures       at reasonable

 time periods. No piling work    is allowed at night.
         4) Lime piling and storage     shall keep distance from economic    woods, farming land at right    place of

 wind, so that the ill impact  from lime powder and smoke     on crops can be decreased.

          5) No waste water or flotsam   is allowed to pour into rivers  or valleys; living water and   garbage is let

  at right place after collectivedisposal. In doing so, environmental    pollution can be avoided.

         6) The next step after work     is clear out the material site, all used materials and    devices at transit,

   camps, forecast plants etc.   Some used land is renewed.

  3 Current Environment and Environmental                                                               Impact in Project Area

3.1 Topgraphy and Landform
      The project area covers Hanbin District,                         Langao County and Ziyang county,                    all under jurisdiction of

Ankang city in the Daba mountains,                     of its ridge 2400m above the sea                          level, ranging northwest. The

northern part, Hanjiang valley, the lowest                  place, averages its height of 270m above                       seal level.

        Hanbin District is located in the mountainous                            region, with deep ravines. Hanjiang River               and Yuehe

river flow through the center. Yuehe                 River stands in the middle, Qinling                     Mountains in the north and Bashan

mountains in the south. The height                   difference reaches 1900m in the region,                             2 rivers placed between 3

mountains.
         Langao County is place with chain of                       mountains and valleys, in the north                  of Daba Mountains, of its

peak, 2641m, and of the lowest 331m.
         Ziyang County stays in one part of QinBa                           upland. Hanjiang River flows from                 northwest to the east,

and Renhe River flows from southwest                     to the north, entering Hanjiang river                       at Renhezui. These two river

valleys divide the whole county region                    into 4 parts: Daba mountions in southeast,                          Micang mountions in

southwest, Fenghuang Mountains                   in the north and Songpinghe plain                     in the east.

          The highway project focuses on the rebuilding                           and upgrading of current roads, most of              which line in

    valleys and river banks.

3.2 River and Water System
      In the project region, there   are rich river distributions,  all subordinate to Hanjiang     water system.
Hanjiang River, the longest    one in the region, flows in Hanbin    District, 110.2km long, in Langao     county,
IOkm, and in Ziyang county     75km. The whole regional    drainage area amounts to 100    km2. Of all 17 rivers,
104 rivers own each of its   drainage area beyond 5 km2.     Hanjiang river has its branches     like Yuehe, Jihe,
Huangyang, Lanhe, Dadao,      Donghe, Ruhe, Yuhe, Loushui,      Renhe etc, and still subbranches      like Henghe,
Fujian, Xiaoshui, Quanhe,   Raoxi, Panxiang, Zhuxi, Taohe,     Siji, Dapan etc. See the water  distribution in the
project region in Fig. 3.

3.3 Climate

      Sub-tropical continental  humid climate covers the whole       project region, that is,  moderate climate,
flush rainfall, clear seasons  and long frostless days in   the year round. Owing to      the high difference of
height, regional climate   varies greatly, of its yearly average    temperature,14.9-15.7°C, yearly        average
rainfall 799.3-1127.8mm      and frostless days up to 240-260.         Both the temperature and     frostless days
decrease as the altitude goes  upward. The transitional scenery     and agriculture shape abundance     of forestry
products and vegetation varieties.  Some of the forest products   receive big name through   the country.

3.4 Vegetations

      Hanbin District is located   in the transition of vegetation    between the north and     the south, where
broad-leaf woods, evergreen    broad leaf and mixed subtropical    woods grow altogether. Thousands       of herbal
plants live in the region and  100 more commercial products      come out of the woods. It    has praised with a
natural specimen museum,     or a gene depot ofvegetation,   or a cradle of Chinese herbs.
      There lives subtropical and  temperate vegetations in this  region, of subtropical plants  like tung, orange,
banana etc, and oftemperate plants    like poplar, elm, willow etc.
      Langao, the key forestry   area in Shaanxi, owns abundant       forest products in 400 more     variety, like
sumac, tea, gutta-percha, Jew's  ear, fungus, fruits and varieties ofpotherbs.
      Ziyang is a suitable region for some sub-tropical woods    like tea, mulberry or orange   to living through
winter days.
      See the vegetation distribution in the project region in Fig. 4.

3.5 Wild Animals
      This region, with various  vegetations in temperate   climate, is apt to animal  activities. As the project
zone is mostly placed in lowland,   valleys or low elevated places,   where frequent human activities     drive the
large animals away. Only   small ones, but no cat species,  can be found along the route   valleys, like squirrel,
hedgeshrew, hare, boar, or badger      etc. There are plenty of  birds like sparrow, titmouse,     thrush, mynah,
culver etc.   Some rare birds appear sometimes      like hickwall, red belly   chook, vulture, pied magpie     etc.
Still, there exist some migratory   birds in category like aigrette,   marabou, wild duck, wild     goose etc. No
i-more crawling or amphibian   varieties and numbers of wild   animals live in the project area.
      All to be rebuilt are village   roads, which impact mainly       on the agricultural region,    not on wild
animals.

3.6 Social-economic situations                in the project area
       1. Ankang
      Ankang city is located in the south of Shaanxi Province,    a joint of 4 provinces like  Sichuan, Shaanxi,
Hubei and Chongqing. It    neighbors Xi'an in the north,   close to Shangluo city, Hanzhong      city in the west,
Chongqing and Sichuan      in the south, and Hubei in      the east. Furthermore, it    is surrounded by the 3
economic zones as Xi'an,    Wuhan and Chongqing. The       whole area of 23,529km2      takes 11.4% of Shaanxi


                                                       27

provincial size, the 4th largest in 10 cities. Ankang    city rules one district and 9 counties, including     197

townships. The population in 2004 amounts to 2.9497       million.

       Ankang stands in the geographical transition. Natrural   resources in southern and northern styles scatter

the whole region. Biologic, hydraulic and mineral     resources dominate, other than its tourism.

       Biology: Qinba Mountains as the biologic gene depot        in China provide all biologic species of 3300

and animals of430, 34 of which are listed on the     national leveled protective rare animal. Ankang's     Chinese

herbs amount to 1290 species. he tea product     with rich Se has been growing up an industry      there, the same

to the silk industry, pod quantity taking 80% out of           Shaanxi province. Some medical products like

Gynostemma pentaphylla, puerarin and         saponin have been generated in large scope.     Stockbreeding also

finds its base in the region. Forest area of 17.61  million mu there means 50.2% of forest coverage      ratio.

       Water power: Ankang is abundant of water.          There are 76 rivers , each catchments of lOOkm2.

   Hanjiang, the largest branch of Changjiang    River, has its length of 709km and drainage    area of 5,900km2

   in the region. The average annual runoff amounts to     10.655 billion m3. Its theorical water power storage

   up to 4.69 million kilowatt, takes 46.8% of the provincial      amount. 2.4 million KW capacity and annual

   power generated of 3 billion kilowatt hour, present      great water power potential, which means Ankang

   could be a key water and power base in Shaanxi     Province.

       Mineral resources: There discovers 55 sorts of minerals       in 536 areas, and 22 proven reserves at 74

 areas indicate the potential value of 5.029 billion  RMB Yuan. Some are preceding on state or province        list,

 like mercury, stibium, barite, gold dust, manganese        etc. Nowadays, all these mineral exploitations       go

 underway with splendid future.
       Tourism: Ankang stays at the joints of green biologic corridors      between Xi'an to The 3 Gorges, and

 Xi'an to Zhangjiajie. Local culture and unique        nature reinforce Shaanxi tourism. As Xi'an       - Ankang

 railway in service, tourism grows up quickly in    the last years. In 2004, 1.08 million travelers there  increase

 the number in previous year by 44%.

       Abundant biologic and mineral resources, as well      as water wealth and unique scenery will feature the

 future economy in Ankang. Furthermore, they will       be fundamental for local development of industries      like

 power, metallurgy, building materials, medicament,      and chemicals etc. Ankang in these years has     improved

 its infrastructural and biologic environment, as the economic       strength boosts up quickly. That means, the

 initiatives for the next step in economic and   social promotion are well done. In 2004, the    gross production

 value reaches 11.955 billion RMB Yuan,       9.4% increase than the pervious year, among      it, the Ist industry:

 9.3%, the secondary industry: 12.5% and       the tertiary industry: 7.9%. The annual fixed    assets investment

  amounts to 618 million RMB Yuan, 21.18% upward           than the last year. The per capita net income    of local

  peasants achieves 1652 RMB Yuan, 147       Yuan in addition and urban per capita governable     income achieves

  5,942 RMB Yuan, 317 Yuan upward.

        2. Social and economic situation in Hanbin District

  County in the east, Pingli County and Langao County       in the south, Hanyin and Ziyang counties in the west,

  Ningshan and ZhenAn counties in the north,       the whole region covers 3,6434 squ.km, 15.49%         of Ankang

  region. It has 43 townships and 3 street      offices, with a population of 935.7 thousand       in 2003, taking

  32.16% of Ankang people.
        Hanbin is rich in natural resources. Wide     land of 45.6 thousand ha, fertile and sunshiny,      adapts to

  farming, stock raising, fruit growing etc. It is a base of crops and oil products in Ankang. Abundant      natural

  resources contains 201.8 thousand ha forest     land, growing tea, mulberry, sumach, tung    tree, walnut, millet

  etc. Pod production in one year takes one third of the   provincial amounts, tung the second, and tea the third.

  There lives 400 varieties of Chinese herbs like Coptis    chinensis, Eucommia ulmoides etc. In addition, there


                                                          28

reserve some mineral resources     like gold dust, barite, silex, crystal, copper etc.
      As the Xi'an - Ankang     railway in service, tourism     in the place has been driven    on the quick speed.
Xiangxi cave and Yinghu      lake take the leading role    to open the natural and    green corridor to the outside
world.

      In years, local economics    in specialty moves up     quickly and the same     to its quality and benefit.  In
2003, the GDP reaches     3.5 billion RMB Yuan,       10.8% higher than the previous       year, of its fixed assets
investment 1.564 billion  RMB Yuan, and of local      financial income 119 million     RMB Yuan.

advantageous agriculture.   Yellow ginger, dasheen,     silkworrn, dry and fresh   fruits, non-chemical vegetables
are chosen for advancement     and modernization. The     yearly GDP reaches 1.057      billion RMB Yuan, 10.5%
increase, of crops production   232.9 thousand tons, of     local income 1550 RMB       Yuan, increasing 100 than
the last year.

      3. Social-economic status  ofZiyang County
      Ziyang County stands   in southeast Ankang, the     hinterland of Qinba mountainous      region and Hanjiang
upriver. Hanbin and Langao     in the east, Zhenba in west,    Chengkou County of Chongqing        and Wanyuan of
Sichuan Province in the   south, Hanyin in the north,    Ziyang County covers      overall 2,304 squ.km, 9.37%     of
Ankang size. There exist    15 towns, 10 townships in     jurisdiction, and population   of 337.7 thousand, taking
11.5% of total.

      36 sorts of minerals are  explicated in the region,    and 5 have better future.  Slate has its reserves by   6
billion stere, scattered through its 25 townships.    At present, the annual slate     production grows up to     1.5
million squ. m, 60 million  RMB Yuan in value.
      Selenium is rich in Ziyang    soil, the second largest    place after Enshi, Hubei   Province. The selenium
potential has been developed     into a grand mark, and       Ziyang has become the      largest base for such tea
plantation, processing and  research in northeast China.
     Ziyang is an agricultural     place, with its leading      industries like tea, silkworm     and sheep under
development. In 2004, the   GDP has fulfilled 639 million       RMB Yuan, 9.75% higher       than the previous year,
fixed assets investment of  351 million RMB Yuan,       and local financial income    of23.69 million RMB      Yuan.
      In 2003, Ziyang economics         encircled the increase      of local income and       agricultural structure
adjustment. The annual    gross production value    reached 568.86 million RMB       Yuan, crops production    104.6
thousand tons, tea 1,256   tons, silkworm 1,896 tons.     The leading industries out   of tea, silkworm and sheep
productions reach the    value by 206.17 million     RMB Yuan, per capita       income by 1,344 Yuan,       75 Yuan
upward than the previous    year for local peasants.    Still, Ziyang, the mountainous     region, shares the single
production structure, which    can only generate low earning,       low yield and benefit. Poverty    covers sizable
area.

     4. Current social and economic     status in Langao County

       (5)    Nangongshan national       forest park in Langao  County
     Nangongshan national       forest park stays  in the esat Langao,  7648ha in size, composed     of 5 scapes like
Erlangping, Jinding,     Huoshanshi (vesuvianite),       and Lianhuazhai.    It is remains of     Paleozoic volcano
eruption, relic of the 4tIh epoch glacier and   a source of iriginalhypo-forest. 13yrs   ofhard construction    in this
place by Langao Forestry      Farm has accomplished     infrastructure for service and tour. It has become    a resort,
attracting visitors from the neighboring     province like Sichuan,  Hubei and Chongqi,      other than Shaanxi.
     Jinding, the peak,    stands at 2267.4m    inaltitude, neighboring  two other peaks. The    3 peaks erect like   a
pen rack, inserting   into the sky. Around       the peaks, stone forests  distribute everywhere     in different and
spectacular styles.   Some of them stand        like human or fairy    in cloud and mist.     Snow can be seen      on
upperland and at the    same time peach      blossom at lowland.   Four seasons coexist    at same time in different
parts of the mountains.

       (6) Shenheyuan resort
     This scenic zone      has its locations    in the north part   of Daba mountain      ridge at the boundary     of

divided by 3 sceneries,      called Shentian grassland,     Bashan pond and       Chaoyang cave. All      these three
beautiful places are   collections of grand     mounts, marvelerous    water, elegant wood,    quiet well and steep
caves.

     Unluckily, because     of the poor traffice   condition, the local natural beauties have    no good chance for
development.

     The completion of      the country road   system means the progress     of local traffic and  more convenience
 of traveler access.

3.8 Regional road system

       1.Ankang city
      Country road plays important role in   developing rural economics and bettering     local life, as the

key component of traffic modernization. Since    1990s, Ankang governments of all levels have     increased

the investment on rural road to shorten  the urban and rural distance and promote local   economy, and it

has received great achievements.

 cement concrete     road has 120km,       less than 1% of the       total mileage.
       2. Hanbin District
       Hanbub District     is the center of     Ankang in politics,         economics, culture    and traffic. Its regional
 advantage has driven      local economic and       road system in quick       speed.
       In 2004, the whole      road mileage all over        the distrist amounts      to 3,429km, 275    km county road,
 382km town road        and 2,772km village         road. Of the whole         mileage, grade IV    road of 356km     takes

 reaches 1,663km     in length.

       In the meantime,   80% town and villages         are located in valleys,     high mounts and slopes   on both sides
 with complex landform.       That means the highway          project shall be hard.    Severe shortage  of funds on road
 construction in    years leads to      most roads in       lower grades and        bad conditions    to resist no natural
 disasters.

 province, rich     in biology, minerals,         water and tourism           resources. Yet,   the tariff limit   results in

       By road norms, it has 69km      grade IV road, 1,710km substandard         road, 3.9% and 96.1% of the    whole

  mileage respectively.
        By pavement variety, the     bituminous surface has 82km       long, 4.6% of the total mileage,  unpaved road

of 1,272km, 71.5% of        the total. 43% of the village   road are open to traffic all   weather, totally 547km     in

 length.

          4. Langao County

        Langao county is situated     out of the way, with high     mounts and deep valleys.     That will lead to

 high unit investment cost       on highway construction     and slow road development.        In 2004, the whole

 county road reaches 1,270km,         among it, 200km county      road, 76km substandard       road, and all others

 substandard. 67.2% of the       village road are unpaved,    which means the difficult     come-and-go for local

 villagers. Worsely, years       of flood have brought severe       damage to current road.      Most roads need

 rebuilding badly.

  3.9 CurrentEnvironment                    Quality

           1.Current acoustic environment
        (I ) inspection of current   acoustic environment

         The project area stays out   oftowns, mostly farmland     and mountains along the     road. There are no noise

  sources from local enterprises       nowadays except some       minimal noise from local       countryroad and local

   living activities. No high   graded highway exists in   the region, and current     road in low technical norms    and

  with low traffic. The only     traffic noise out of S310  impacts its neighboring villages,     and all other sensitive

   spots shares minimal impact.
          Nowadays, most sections      of the current road system     have low sound values,and     the field inspection

       can tell that the protective  objectives focus on the route   village.

        (2) Noise monitoring

          Positions for noise monitoring   are selected at principles    of spot and representative section combination.

   That means the first row     of structure facing the road  shall be given priorities,  concurrently some other   spots

   like densely populated households       or noisy site are monitored.     Within the assessment   area, some pertinent

   and representative sections    are chosen out for monitoring,      like recomparatively densely   residential, village,

   or shools close to the   road.

          Ankang Environment Monitor        Station was consigned to        perform the environmental   noise monitoring

   at spots, of all their monitoring    time, instruments, adjustment,      and measurement in accordance     with Urban

   Environmental Noise Measurement           GB/T14623-93 and Technical          Norms for Environmental     Monitoring.

    See the measurement in     table 3-1.

         (3) Current environment      evaluation


                                                               34

     The country along    the route attains the Grade I         (GB3096-93) ,        by its daytime noise        level: 44.7-
52.3dB, and night    noise level: 38.3-42.6dB.        All suggest the acoustic      environtment in the       project area in
good quality.

     2. Current water  environment

    (I ) survey of current  water environment
     The project area   is densely covered    with rivers and rivulets,       mostly the branches        of Hanjiang river,
like Renhe river, Yuehe river, Quanhe    River etc. Both      sides of the projected      highway have no         distributions
of large factories and plants causing  water pollution, except         the living sewage     let in small size.     Today the
water bodies along   the route appear  clean in good quality.        See the route water      system distribution       in Fig.
3-2.

    (2) Water quality monitoring

     The evaluation of   water quality comes      from the collection      of quality factors     of pH, SS, CODMnf         and
oils etc out of duty  supervision data.   Of those rivers with         no data, 3 sections      are positioned along        the
rivers, I at Tieluxiang ferry   on   Hanjiang River        in Langao county,       2" at the Renhe        bridge in Gaotai,
Ziyang county, 3    at lower side of Fujia  river entering Yuehe       river. All the spots   are showed in table       3-6.
     The following data    comes from Ankang          Environment Supervision         Station at relevent      spots in June
2005.

        (3)  Current water quality evaluation

       Country road is mostly distributed          in Ankang, the agricultural region,        of its selective elements as

 permanganate index, SS and oils.
       According to the regional water          quality, Grade 11 in Surface Water        Quality Standards        (GB3838 -

  2002) is supposed to be performed          at Liushuizhen section of Hanjiang,      and Grade III at Yuehe, Renhe          and

  other sections of Hanjiang. Grade        III in Surface Water Quality Standards          (GB3838 - 2002) is executed,

  based on its different water functions.       As there is no SS set limit in      Surface Water Quality Standards,          SS

  evaluation accepts Grade I in     Irrigational Water Quality Standard       (GB5084-92). The results in table        3-3 and

  3-4 can deduce the evaluations by single        gene exponent formula in table 3-9.

        Single gene exponent method works          for current environment assessment.

       Table 3-5 shows      that the water in       rivers of Hanjiang,         Renhe, and Yuehe         tallies with the
grade II and III     standards, all their        single factorial index        at 4 sections lower        than 1, which
means the water quality        in these rivers are all      right.
       3. Current air conditions
         ( 1) Air quality     status insepection
       Most route areas       in the project are       located in valley       and lowland, densely         planted with
   agricultural vegetations        and artifical hypo-plantations               in humid and pluviose             climate.
   Ankang EP moinitoring           station holds the job         at sensitive spots,     of its spots, environmental
   characters and items        shown in table 3-10.           Agricultural productions            take the leading     role
   along the route, and     there exist no pollutive          enterprises. Consquently,          air quality is identical
   through the region,     and the monitoring         presents cross-sectional.

 3.10 Environment impact and mitigations

        According to the environmental       impact analysis for the typicl road  in the project areas (Annex 4), we

 can give a primany assessment on     the LRIP, and take measures to       mitigate the adverse impact..


     1. Environmental status evaluation         conclusions
     ( I) the project area featured in splendid       biologic resources, with high vegetation     coverage and good

   biologic environment
     (2) the project area in poor road and       economic conditions

     (3) the project area rich in      tourist source, but poor in exploitation        because of poor local traffic

 conditions
     (4) good acoustic environment in        the project area

     (5 ) excellent water quality in   the project area

     (6)   excellent air quality in the project   area


    2. EIA forecast conclusions
      ( I ) Among the project, only         8 new road constructions out         of the rebuilding roads brings       in

 environmental impact, mainly on      the reasonable alignment in design       phase.

      (2)   The environmental impact from       the rebuilding project sources mostly     from biologics, especially in

  construction phase. The damage       to the local vegetation and disturbance         to the earth works fortify the

  regional soil erosion. The completion      of that period means the recovery    ofsoil erosion by land leveling and

  plantations.
      (3 ) The local road run mostly     along rivers and valleys. Its construction     will affect route water quality,

  especially SS exceeding standard.      It is suggested material site to be    positioned away from water bodies     in

  case of rainwater erosion. Meanwhile,       river courses are to be cleaned   up after construction to avoid flood.

      (4) In construction period, machinery           noise and dust will affect route       acoustic and air quality.

  Accordingly, reasonable working       arrangement and sanitational protective        distance shall be considered to

  keep normal living and teaching environment         at village, hospitals etc.

      (5)    In construction period, the current    road traffic will be severely affected.  Both mitigation measures

  as sectional construction, organizational     traffic and traffic leading, and safety   education can be executed to


                                                              38

       El4 and EP Execution Frame ofLRIP                       3 CurrentEnvironment and EnvironmentalImpact    in ProjectArea


       avoid accidents.

           (6) In service period,   the project route with   less traffic, dense vegetation,  and sparse residence  will not
       exceed noise EP standards.    That presents the slight   noise impact on local   region.
           (7)   The project local road   is filled with mixed  traffic. Accordingly, traffic sign are to beinstalled.
           (8) The local road    project will improve      extremely the local   communications, and     the local physical
       distributions. Such construction receives     warm welcome from      local governments and    villagers.


              3. Local road EP    measures

               ( I ) Ecologic impact    and mitigations
              (DSpoil  site positioning shall    comply with construction    regulations and procedures    for examination
       and acceptance. At    backward, sand block        embankment can be     set up to stop spoil.   Good drainage and
       greenizing, as well as less residue will    do good to route marsh.
              (O)Surfaced 20cm     farming soil are piled     separately for renewing    new irrigated, inferior   land and
       other soils.
             (E) The end of temporary         land taking means       the beginning of    recovery of land leveling      and
       greenizing or farming.
               (2)  Acoustic impact mitigations

             (Construction     units shall select normalized      machineries and vehicles,     with low sound work      and
       procedure.

              (© Contractors are requested      to civilize their construction activities, to be away   from strong sound
       source like transport sound or knocking      etc.
              ) Material, mix and    asphalt mix stations    D200 m from sensitive     spots.
             (A) In service phase,  the long term traffic    will be not sizable  (314veh/d in 2015).    That means slight
       noise then.

               (3) Water impact    mitigation
             (O) proper work site  selection
              X proper material   piling

               (4) other EP measures

             (X Construction camp     shall rent local civic   houses or public ones,   or in scope of road   land. Sewage
       and life rubbish shall be treated properly    to be away from water    pollution.
              O   Construction units    shall choose normalized        machineries and vehicles     to keep its pollutant
       emission below the  national standards.     Machinery maintenance     and caring can ensure   their better operation.
             (E) Construction camp    shall be located away     from water bodies;   waste water not emitted   directly into
       rivers.

              ) Field quarry needs    strict declare and approval;    material purchase comes   from qualified producers.

      3.11 EP Investment Estimation

             The project land taking   and vegetation impact     will do damage to   local biology functionally.  Some EP
       measures are to be taken to minimize      the negative effect.
, F          The estimated investment       for EP of LRIP will       be 14.82 million yuan,     which primarily used     in
       ecological protection.   The EP expense       takes 2.33% of the     overall investment,   less in proportion.   The
       detailed information  is shown in Table    3-12.




                                                                 39

4.2.1 EIA consignment          and submission

       According to the frame,   Ankang traffic board      will consign some qualified   unit (beyond grade B)    for
EIA.
       As the preoject owns   plenty of road plans     in large scope, the EIA  plan and its execution take   yearly
road construction as    one group, and its EIA      work is performed by the    consigned unit by Ankang      traffic
board.
       Each annual EIA work    initiates at fesibility phase and ends at drawing  up the document.
       According to the    official document       No.(2005) 234, Notification      of Grading Management         on
Constructive Project   EIA from Shaanxi EP       Bureau, Ankang traffic    board recives the EIA   document, to be
stamped and singatured,    and submits the file to Ankang      EP Board, attached with  the original document.
       In contrast with "Constructive    Project Variety Management       Namelist", all the  local EIA papers are
called El reports, of itsmodels, refer to Annex      3.

4.2.2 EIA execution    step

       The EIA working steps     are presented in Fig.4-3,      in 3 phases. The first   preparatory phase mainly
focuses on research   of papers, primary     engineering analysis,   environment status survey,   screening of key
EIA roads, grading    of single item of EIA,    definition of protective  target and scope; the   secondary formal
work phase proceeds      further engineering    anlaysis, and environmental    status survey, public   participation
inquiry, and its El     forecast and EIA,      the third report drawing      phase performs the     collection and
summarization of the    data, information made     in the second phase. Finally, the EIA report  completes.

4.2.3 EIA Content

4.2.3.1 EIA grade and        scope
       1.Category
       In accordance with the  Constructive Project     Environmental Protection    Sorting Management    Namelist
(first set), all road works  "in grade III or 11 road,   or shorter than lOOkm    at nonsensitive spot" result  in a
little impact. EIA report is needed.
      Among the road project,   there exist 7 constructions    of new roads, and other   road of rebuilding, mostly
in grade III or IV, less  than 1OOkm long. All       these roads are placed  in nonsensitive zones.  That means a
need of EIA report.
      By the WB OP 4.01    Environment Assessment,        the countryroad project positions in mountains,   covered
with good vegetations.    The project focuses    on mainly the rebuilding    of current roads, which   will lead to
slight or mini impact  on local environment.    It is classified as Bcategory.

      Standards in details are presented   in Annex 1.
4.2.3.3 Assessment focus,    time period and method
       1.assessment focus
     According to the engineering      and local natural and social  characters, the EIA will  focus on:
       (I)Biologic ETA, (2) Acoustic     EIA;   (3) Water EIA;     (4) Social EIA (including    cultural and tourism
  effect); (5)Air EIA
     Biologic EIA is focused     as the subgrade widening,    cutoff, slope works may     lead to biologic problems
in the project.
      2.Time period
      In construction and service    phases, mainly in construction   phase
      3. Measure
     Assessment can be      taken by field survey,    data collection and   expert consultation.   The forecast and
sum-up for typical sections   can abe done by induction     method.

4.2.3.4 El indenfication

      1. Proejct work analysis

     Road engineering shows      environment impact     in clear stages, like biologic one in constsructions    period
and acoustic impact    in operation period.   The Ankang countryroad       project is concentrated   in countryside,
with less traffic in operation.Major impact stems     from the biologic effect   in construction period.
     (1) Engineering impact      in construction period
     Different stages and   particularities in different sections indicate various  impacts.
     There are 7 roads to   be built up newly, and   their procedures take  the following:
    Orientiation, land requisition   -   surface clearing  -  subgrade works (stone    and earth works, fill   rolling,
stone or earth spoiling  etc) , machinery work,     material transport   -  culvert, subgrade protection    works
greening and pavement    works

     101 roads for rebuilding   take the following procedures:

    Land requisition                                                                                      machinery
                         -+    land clearing      -  subgrade works (earth and     stone excavation),

  works, material transport -- culvert,   subgrade protection works - greening      and pavement works

    In construction, the main impact       sources from route vegetation     and its soil erosion. Sometimes,      the

temporary traffic block from the engineering       may suspend the come-and-go.
     (K)Surfce clearing leads to relax    earth, which needs to be piled properly,or   soil erosion occurs.

     (© Subgrade construction may        result in water and soil erosion    as direct cut or irregular fill without

blocking or temporary water-resistant      protections. Machinery work, material    transport all lead to noise and

dust, causing also the damage to local     roads.
     ©Surfce pavement produce noise and asphalt           smoke, in addition to the transport   noise and dust.

     (A)Rebuilding works may suspend         the traffic block.
      (2)Engineering analysis in operation      period

      In service phase, traffic noise     could be the major one on local      acoustic environment. As the       local

countryroad can't generate sizable     traffic, slight effect comes then.
      2. Environmental impact screening
      According to the WB OP4.01          "Envinonment Assessment", the        Ankang countryroads are basically

 located in mountainous regions,      with good vegetations. But, the    project keys on mostly road rebuidlings,

 which present slight or minimal    environmental impact. The project     is then regarded as catergory B.

      See the screening in table 4-5    - 4-7, all of which belong to  the roads that need drawing up    EAP.

     4.2.4 Enviornmental Protection Measures

           The framework focuses on the possible               problems in environment at different              phases before some
     relevant measures are brought forward.            In consequence, the local EP managements                 can select what they
     need to minimize the ill impact from the         countryroad construction.



                                                                      51

4.2.4.1 In design phase
      In design phase, some practical EP measures are drawn out on the basis of each road feature. All these

designs are supposed to be executed in construction map and the practical measures are fulfilled           by local

traffic agencies.

      1. General road sections

      EP measures at design phase shall take the following into account:
       ©  The majority of countryroad project focus on rebuilding. To make best of the current roads, the

road designing shall be optimal and resonalable in road selections. Less farmland taking, less removal and

shrinkage of slope in retaining wall construction when fill works appears at farmland, shall          be important

factors in designing.
      ©Try    to avoid or pass by water bodies, in addition to segregating with greens, from water pollutions.

       ) Design on natural rivers shall be based on inconvesion of river direction, and no         rerestriction, or

block of river courses. Intersectant channels are designed with culverts. Runoff              and ditch water are

designed to be discharaged into given area. Free ejection into water bodies or farmland may            contaminate

the neighboring land and water sources.

      (A)The selection of country road shall be coordinated with town programming,             away from schools,
hospitals, villages and towns in dust and noise. Otherwise, some measures are to be taken to mitigate such

traffic noises.

      (5) Design of subgrade shall consider the adaptation to landform, avoiding the damage to natural

terrace and vegetation from high fill, deep excavation and inbalance of soil and stone           works. Design of

bridge, cultvet and drains shall meet the needs of flood discharge, cause no damage              to local irrigation

system.
       ®   Virescence works well for subgrade stability, water and soil conservation, and surrounding

 beautifications. Accordingly, a comprehensive design is needed through the countryroad         system.

      (©)Construction periods are reasonably arranged, avoiding the busy seasons          in spring or harvest, and

 local villages shall be nitified before work.
      It is obvious that the consideration of designing and EP measures like less farmland taking, water

 protection, noise and air prevention, soil and biology protection in designing can guarantee the ill impact on

 environment to a minimum.
      2 . Typical sections (sensitive sections)

        ( I ) Heavy rolling or 50m within water bodies

       In design, shields at road sections by valley, river or reservoirs shall be installed, marked with apparent

 signs for traffic safety.

        (2) Neighboring drinking water area

       To protect the drinking water for locals, ditches along the water bodies are supposed to design to avoid

 runoff or waste water flowing into directly the drinking water area. Furthermore, no outfall of the ditches

 can be set up within the protective regions.

        (3)   New road sections

       New road section shall concern about the route selection at principle of "no destruction is the best

 protection". Reasonable and optimal design of alignment means less farmland taking,           away from seneitive

 areas like school, residentials etc, away from bad geologic section, and away from cultural       relics or ancient

 woods.

       3. Basic farrmland protection

       (   Basic farmland adjustment and supplement shall be presented in local land programme           in Ankang,

 after the land taken by the road engineering is approved legally.

       (2) Available ways to publicize the locals of the road work significance and regulations     on resettlement,

removal and compensations shall be taken for better understanding     and extensive support.
      ©Try   to take less farmingland by cooperation    with local hydro and biologic organs for best   selection
of borrow site placement and land renewing in the future.
      (   The project purposes at improving local        economic and social conditions. All working          and
manageing units shall respect for local willing,   with no violent land taking, removal and invasion     of local
properties.

      Occasionally, when design can't avoid taking      of basic farmingland, papers for approval is      needed
before land requisition. That will be good   for later land adjustment and supplement.      Local properties are
guarded by strict execution of national laws on compensations.

4.2.4.2 Construction Phase

      1.General road sections

       ( 1 ) Ecologic protection
      (D The EP publicizing and training of working      staff is necessay. All the working units shall    assign
such personnel in charge of environmental protections to prohibit      the working staff from hunting of wild
animals and the free enlargement of farmingland       and grassland, so as to mitigate the ill impact    on loca
ecology. Only necessary cutting within sighting       line are allowed, but no more beyond the limit. It is
strongly recommended that explantation should be taken         for some keyly protective plants, the same to
some young trees, to be cut in design at conditioned       sections. All cut and embankment slopes shall be
greenized and protected.

      ( No picking of stone, sand and earth in    forestry region is allowed, ruled in The   Forestry Protection
Law of PRC.

      (E) Keep smooth of the farming and irrigational          works, as well as the country roads.         When
  construction work involves, keep them working     in priority before dismantling.

      (A)In construction phase, the temporary land     use is supposed to be restricted within the land     to be
requisitioned. Renewing of these used land      (in and out of the road bound) goes after     the completion of
construction.

      (l In construction phase, spoil site and discarding    process shall be integrated with local agricultural
developemtn and farmland planning, in arrangement         with loca land management. After the engineering,
spoiled land shall be leveled and greenized.
      (©)Spoil piling concerns materialistic stability. Residues are to be tampled and fixed before     ripe soil
coverage for new plantations.

      @)Before the construction, some educational     work must be done along the project route.     At worksite
and somewhere around the worksite, especially      the environmentally sensitive spot, EP concerned    plates are
installed, on which some information of ecologic     protection, relevant laws and regulations, measures     to be
taken, construction signinficance etc are     publicized. Futhermore, it is suggested      that the construction
organizations and units constitute altogether  the EP rules of rewards and punishment, so     as to definitize the
responsibility and to promote their sense of  responsibility.
       (2)   Water and soil conservation
       0  Keep balance of cut and fill in construction; excavation, refill, rolling and slope protecting perform
  at the same step.
      ©  Try to shorten the construction periods, lessen  the lossen surface exposition and arrange reasonably
the working time, accordingly, away from the     rainy and floody seaons for less soil erosion.
      (I Try to decrease the damage to local vegetations       by timely planting, renewing the worksite and
places within the road boundary.

      (a) Such measures as retaining wall,    counterfort or mortar rubble masonry shall      be taken for high
filling or deep excavation sections.

     (®)Spoils on farmland proceed after removing and piling       of current farming soil outside, then these

soil can be renewed again after completion   of works.

     (©) When the works end, temporary land shall be returned          timely to locals for new farming. The

construction unit must guarantee the temporary land to be   cultivatable.

     @)Reasonable excavation work can ensure the earth      and stonework not to be discarded at will. It shall

be piled at easy place for refill later on.
     ( Measures like retaining or drainage works are taken before spoil and      residue discarding.

       (3)    Acoustic Environment

     Low noise machineries are priorly selected. With good        maintainence and operation, the machinery

noise can be managed at minimal level.
      0  Noise in construction phase comes mainly from construction        machineries and transport vehicles.

The constructon units are required to choose standard       utensils and vehicles in low noise degrees. The

vibrating machineries are supposed to fix up some      additional deoscillators. Accordingly, the reduction   of

noise intensity can be reached, in assistance with good maintenance     ofall these machineries.

      (0) Intense and long-lasting noise on houman body can place      an premium on varieties of diseases and

bring in deaf. For the protection of public health, the  construction unit shall make reasonable arrangement,

like operating the noisy machinery by turns, shortening the          contact periods under intense noise, and

maintaining the machinery at minimal sound level. All          working staff neighboring the high noise are

provided with earplugs, and time periods can be shortened     sometimes.
      ®   Sound out of construction machineries presents bursting out, iregulate,       discontinued with high

strength. Investigation indicates there exist 4 noise levels at  worksite. Alteration of working measures can

mitigate the intensity, such as high leveled work at night        hours (06: 0022: 00), or adjustment of

machinery operation at right time. In addition, contractors     are demanded to initiate civilized construction

and more efficient management, such as the less material transport     or knocking in construction phase.

       ) Within the distance close to the route, 150m away from the          route at residentials, strong noisy

machineries suspend work at night (22: 00-6:          00). At some worksites, continuity of working is   a must,

and the construction unit shall keep touch with   the local EP bodies for nightwork permit, publicize    farthest

the locals for understanding and try their best to perform some    measures, like moveable or temporary sound

barriers etc.
      (0) Construction transit shall be positioned away from   local residence, schools or some other sensitive

 spots. Night transport suspends as there exist some rows of       residence 50m within the transit. As some

 transit transport can't stop at night, no blowing and speed    limit signs are supposed to mount, of the night

 speed less than 20km/h.
      (©)Mix and material stations >200 m from sensitive spots.

      (   If strong vibrating construction occurs at villages, inspection for local houses shall proceed in case

 of accidents. Heavily impacted houses from vibration     need indispensable remediation.

        (4)    Air pollution

        ) Cement soil mixing along the route could be the mamimal            pollutant source. Such work shall

 suspend when wind speed exceed grade IV, and all dispersible       material load and unload like lime must be

 dealt with dusting.
       (2) Concrete mix station is a fixed pollutant source. The  devices shall be sealed, installed with dusting

 device in grade II, and the workers are to be guarded with available measures.     The mix station and plant are

 placed at open space, at least 200m leeward beyond the    residential, shool or hospital.

       (I Good management shall be taken for dispersible materials,like        earth, cement, lime transport and

 temporary storage. Shelter and blocking can be performed         to avoid the atmospheric pollution. Exposed

 road and worksite are to be sprinkled regularly.

     (4) Construction units shall choose machinery         and transport vehicles under standards,     such as gas
exhaust tallied with the state criterion.Good maintenance will be good to easy control        ofexhaust.
      (5) Working staff is apt to be effected    by the environmental pollution. Measures        for protection and
 safety are to be taken, like less working hours    or respirator providing.
       (5)  Pollution of water environment

     Water for wasing machieries and transport      vehicles can be released only after settlement   in tanks.
     (X On some rolling sections by river     course, the subgrade excavation shal be    set with settlement tanks
at possible runoff to hold up mud and       sand, so as to prevent the river course     from stagnation. The soil
settlement tank (Im deept) has its size   on the basis of the size to collect water,  and positioned at right area.
When needed, geotextile is used to enclose       the side for water outing. After the works,     level the tank and
green the land.

     (®)Worksite shall be away from rivers,        and sewage and garbage are gathered        for proper treatment
before its release into water. Toilet and  septic tank deal with the sewage before      it works on irrigation and
works as fertilizer. Garbage is gathered at   right spot.

      (©)Mechanic oil leak out of machines      and ships or pouring of oil residue   will bring in contamination
 of water bodies. Strict management and education        are needed.
     (A)Construction materials like asphalt,     oil, chemicals etc are not piled by irrigational   wells or rivers.
Sometimes geotextile can be used for enclosure       and prevention from those entering into    water bodies.
     (®)In construction phase, subgrade must       be suppressed to avoid the erosion. Surface      works in rainy
reason shall primarily be abstained,    or asphalt residues come out and flow into      rivers. Timely rolling and
grinding can prevent from erosion.

      (®3 Waste water out of precast plant  and mix station is discharged only after   the treatment in settlement
   tank. Undisposed sewage discharge is strictly      prohibited.
       (6)    Solid waste treatment

      In construction phase, garbage sources    mainly from living camp. All wastes      are gathered by sorts, the
same to the oil rags.

     Normal daily rubbish out of working      staff shall be gathered before treatment   by the local health board.
       (7)  Cultural relics protection

      During construction, if there find some    relics unearthed, the construction units   shall suspend the work
and keep the site normal before a report     to the local governments or local cultural    relic organizations. The
constructon continues only after the relics treated    or cleared out.
      2. Special sections

a.m. and from 12:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m..

     (I The transport of materials at time periods   like on duty or off duty could lead to unneceassy    traffic

 jam. Such traffic shall decelerate and prohibit whistle passing   by school.

     (A)At some strongly impacting area like school or hospitals,         the construction unit build up sound

barriers before their work.
      (4) Sections with ancient or noted trees or culturally protective    unit

     (D   Before construction, the working staff will be educated or trained       about the sense of protections

on these ancient, noted or protective buildings. Caution board    are installed at these sections.

     (   No earth and stone piling or building on these trees are       allowed within the proective area (5m

within the tree crown shadow).

     (X Low vibrating machineries are introduced to operate.          No damage to the relic buildings or its

attachments from construction or staff activities is allowed.        When needed, it is suggested that some

protective establishment are set up between the construction    and the protected.

       (5)  Aection with camps

     At construction camps, temporary sesspool is needed         to collect waste water out of life. All these

sewage can be valuable for farming land, buth it can't    be discharged into irrigational canal. The pond and

garbage pit are supposed to be removed and covered with earth.

      (6) Roads involved natural protection reservation

      The Kuqi and Haoliu roads are location in Ankang         YngHu Lake Natural Aeservatioyinghu natural

protection areas. These two road should notice at the follows    in design and construction phases.

      Prohibit setting residue site and materialsite within reservation.

      After implementation finished, must recovery    temporary occupied land in reservation as pre-function.

       Protect every facility within reservation.

       Standardize implementation team, prohibit building worker       prey wild animal in reservation.

       Pay attention on safely using fire at construction site.

       Prohibit casting or piling living wastewater and      rubbish of project site in YingHu Lake Marsh

Natural reservation.

4.2.4.3 Operation phase
      1.Biology
      (X Special agency is needed in operation phase for biologic     protection along the route.

      ( The execution and cashin of the biologic expenses      after work shall be pedged.

      (® The route vegetation in the country shall be     reinforced by timely makeup, pruning and care, in

 order to beautify the route plantation and scenery.

      (X)Plantation recovery at spoil pot must be done.

      () Protection of basic farming land

      a. For less impact on the local farming land occupation, the      construction units shall work with local

 governments for land exploitation and and renewing.
      b. The local land use programs are supposed to be adjusted             to ensure the homeostasis of basic

 farmingland.

      Along the country road, trees are easily growing up.It is     suggested that plenty of shrubs or arbors
planted at especially the sensitive spots. All these vegetations can absorb     some pollutants out of exhaust,
mitigate TSP and beautify the local surroundings.

      4. Water pollution and potential risk

   (j) All vehicles easy to leak and overload are strictly prohibited on   road, in case of water pollution from
the dissipated.

      (Q)To keep the Hanjiang river and its branches in good quality,       caution signs are installed at banks.
   Prevention from risky accident must be well concerned in     operation phase.

4.2.4.4 Measures and suggestion for impact on resorts
       (DRelevant EP agency and specified staff are coming into existence out of the constsruction unit
for EP management and supervision in construction phase. At the          same time, training of constsruction
officials, technicians and workers on EP sense can help them to protect willingly.
       ©   The construction at resort sections shall be restricted in land scope by           design, and the
construction time shall be arranged reasonably at right season and       right period of time. The optimized
construction plan, as well as the advanced technics, ensures the soil    erosion and destruction of the resort

to the minimum.

       (®) Working camp and worksites are placed far from the scenic           spots, particularly away from
Hanjiang River, Renhe River, Yuehe River etc.
       (A)To protect the surroundings, stone collection and wood cut are strictly controlled    in scenic area.
       (5) Bridge work at resort shall avoid the rain season. Water and soil conservation          precede the
erosive section work. For subgrade fill along rivers, blocking work takes      the lead and then the filling to
avoid rock from rolling into rivers.

     (©)Temporary land taking concerns camps and material spot at hollow            and plant-sparsed section.
Accordingly, the original vegetations are not to be damaged. Firewood         for life derives from excavated
shrubs or arbors, no new cut beyond the opening area allowable. Temporary           land taking can't last long,
and its original function shall be timely resumed and greenized.

4.3 Environment Management Plan

 4.3.1 EMP in Project Feasibility Phase

      The main EP work in project feasibility phase keys on EIA of      the project.

       ChangAn University holds up the project EIA. The EIA            team selected 6 representaive roads for
detailed field survey and investigation out of the planned 104    roads. According to the engineering amounts,
the analysis on the possible environment impact in construction            and operation phases bring forward
 measures for protections.    Of other roads, relevant EP requests are pointed out by induction on the basis     of
 their positions, engineering works,etc.

      For a good execution of these EP measures to avoid or mitigate           the potential ill impact from    the
 project, the EIA team, working with design units, has approached consistent      agreement on the EP measures
 for operation and construction phases, and compiled this environment operation plan.

 4.3.2 EP management plan in project design phase

      As most roads keep their original alignment, optimization    is to be done in design phase.

 4.3.2.1 Route selection

        ( I) The new road selection will take impacting factors into accountat,like          less land taking, air
  pollution and traffic noise on local surroundings.
         (2)  Most roads are to be rebuilt or partially reformed, on the basis of their current positions.
        (3) To avoid rock cutting, hill damage or less impact on local scenery        shall be considered in route

4.3.2.2 Social disturbance
       Shortcuts are designed to free local production and life.
4.3.2.3 Soil erosion and land resource
       ( I ) In rolling areas, slope stabilization can be reached by varietiesof treatments to avoid soil erosion.

At slopes with sizable cutting, designs are made          to build up catchwork for excluding rainwater from

flowing into soil joints or crackes, which results in sliding.
       (2) Designs of drain and protection works are well           done, to avoid runoff from washing hills,

farmland or other facilities.
       (3)    Good designs on earth and stone works can balance the fill and cut       for less excavation.

       (4) 3487 culverts are to be designed to smooth the current       water system.

4.3.2.4 Noise
      As the project area has a complex landform, hilly, dispersely         populated, with few sound sources.

Within the assessment scope, there exists good acoustic quality.         Accordingly, noise is not the factor in

design phase.
4.3.2.5 Scenery protection
       The project scatters in the heavy rollong mountains. Excavation           of mountains must concern the
  protection of natural vegetation and leveling the cut slope.

4.3.3 EP Plan in construction phase

      In construction phase, contractors take the responsibility of environmental           protection. FIDIC 19.1

rules: Contractors, in the course of construction, completion and defect       mending, shall take all reasonable
approaches to protection the worksite and its neighboring surroundings          to avoid the damage or injury to
humans and their properties from construction nise, pollution, or some other ill effect.
      Accordingly, the bidding document bring forward the following          requests, in reference to EIA report

 and its engineering design.

4.3.3.1 Ecologic protection

         (3)   To stop the land taking out of farming land, but taking and   spoiling soil by design

        (4)   To educate working staff away from injuring wild animals      and plants along the route

 4.3.3.2 Noise control measures
         ( I) Heavy noisy machinery suspend work during night          hours from 22:00 to 6:00a.m. to generate

  peaceful nights for local people.

         (2)   Some fixed machineries are placed 150m beyond the residentials.

 4.3.3.3 Water contamination
         ( I ) Mechanic oil leakage and waste oil dumapage send pollutants       into water bodies. Only cautions,

   and intense management as well as eduction can deprive such activities.
         (2) Construction materials like asphalt, oil, chemicals are       not supposed to pile by well or river

 courses. Canvas is used to enclose and shelter from washing       into water bodies by rainfall.

 4.3.3.4 Taffic safety
         ( I ) Explosion section at very time shall strictly control entries of staff, vehicles or passerby.

         (2)   No passing over bridges when its construction proceeds.

 4.3.3.5 Cultural relic protection

exhaust gas, dust, or noise, and possible severe partial pollution from emergent accident. A mastery of route

dynamic state along the route can be necessary for good service, easy monitor and management.

4.5.2 Monitoring organ

        The county monitoring stations from Hanbin District, Langao County and Ziyang County are
consigned to do the job for their complete and technical device and professionals.

4.5.3 Monitoring execution

        Normal monitoring is executed in accordance with table 4-7 by the local stations. The key element

among the monitoring is noise, to performed regular and mobile monitoring or sample monitoring. All the

monitoring methods, targets, or training of different staff are confirmed in contract signed between                 the

monitoring units and the project managerment. What the monitoring units to do is the follow the contract
item and perform the monitoring by plan.
        The project of countryroad system features in quantitie of roads, each road in small size, but in large

extension. Except for the 7 new road construction, all others are to be rebuilt, lasting short time periods.

Because ofthe these specialities, all the followings must be noticed.

         (1) Environment monitoring goes with the new building road through constructon period. See the

plan in table 4-7.
        (2) All construction road by densely populated villages, schools or hospitals need monitor in
construction and operation phases. See the contents in table 4-7.
        (3) All the roads involved in nature reserves or resorts need monitoring, with higher frequency.

meansures will develop their management abilities.

     Shaanxi Highway Project II, assisted with WB loans, has been completed by the provincial

Communications Dept. They have experienced the training of their managerial, at demand of the World

Bank. All these officials are working for this new project with basic environmental managerment and rich

competence.

      Shaanxi Communications Dept. has planed to deploy the training by grades. The primary training

starts before June 2006 for environment managerials in traffic organizations from Ankang City, Hanbin

District, Ziyang County, and Langao County. The contents for training include national environment

protection laws and regulations, main environmental issues in country road constructions, highway

feasibility study, environmental protection demands in design phase, mitigations of ill impact in

construction and operation phase, as well as the issues about the project, like management of EIA,

preparations, execution, supervision and report of environmental protection plan and monitoring plan etc.

In later years, Ankang Traffic Bureau will take charge of further training for relevant staff in different

organizations.

      All the local traffic bureaus including Hanbin District, Zinyang County, and Langao County take

charge of drawing their own plans for regular training for their managerials and working staff. The training

will contain some contents like rules and regulations, issues and measures for environmental protection and

water and soil conservation etc, mentioned in EIA.

              5 Framework of Environmental Protection Plan

5.1 The general table of environmental protection implementation              plan

     The rural highway projects in design stage, construction stage and operation stagein  Ankang, Shaanxi

Province, will adopt environmental protection measures against the        possible influences. The basic

environmental protection elements can be seen in table          5-1. Each element should have its own

corresponding environmental protection action plan, with     measures and contents to be decided by the

impacts on environment ofthe specific element.

5.2 The action plan of subitem environmental protection

     The protection measures, the implementation of the measures, management            institutions and the

institutions in charge of the rural highway developments in Ankang    should be put forth according to the

engineering features and environmental conditions of the  element through the chief conclusion in the EIA.

     This report brings forth the environmental protection action plan    of the 28 highways that will be

carried out in 2006 including the 15 rural highways in the county   of Ziyang, the 5 rural highways in the

county of Langao and the 8 rural highways in the district of       Hanbing. The whole mileage of the 28

highways is 449.75 kilometers at the total cost estimated of   172.961 million yuan. It is planned to put in

110.936 million yuan in 2006. Among which, apart from those       highways as Shuangzheng rd., Landa rd.,

Shiguan rd., Tongshuang rd., Waliao rd. and Quanhui rd., which        are annually invested, the other 22

highways are all fully invested once for all.

      The environmental protection action plans of the rural highways and their plans in Ankang in 2006 can

be seen from table 5-2-5-30.

Appendix 2: Public participation on the project


         Minutes of rap session of Ankong-Maoba xpressway at Xiangyang town Ziyang County

     On 25, July 2005, a rap session was chaired by office of Xiangyang town Ziyang County at the office
of Xiangyang town Ziyang County about social investigation on section of Ankong-Maoba of Arrongqi of
Inner Mogular-Beihai Guangxi expressway. Participants of the session were Traffic Bureau of Ziyang
County, Xiangyang town gov. office, representative from appraisal unit of Chang'an University and
villagers of Xiangyang Town, totaling 17 people (namelist attached).
     At the session, the county traffic bureau made a general introduce of the project, and the appraisal unit
introduced the possible impact on environment by the project and the measures taken on environmental
protection, afterword, participants gave a warm discussion.


I. General introduction of the project by traffic bureau of Ziyang County
     The planned length of the expressway in Shaanxi province is about 950km, the alignment of this
project section starts at Yinjiaying, Wulizhen town, Ankong County, terminates at Maoba of Ziyang County,
totaling 86.902 km. The alignment travels through Ziyang County, Xiangyang Town, Gaotan, Maoba. The
designing standard ofthe project is of 80km/h traffic speed, 4 lanes dual carriageways, subgrade width is of
24.5m, and the standard declines at some backward area, with traffic safety secured.
     Interchanges are set at Hengkou, Liushui, Dahedao, Ziyang, Quanhekou and Maobar,so as to bring
service function of the expressway into better play, joining the transportation of this project with existing
trunk ways or other major local roads.


II. Introduction of possible influence on environment by representative from appraisal group
      Construction of the project will take up land, reducing farm field, damaging mountain area, shrinking
vegetation resources, driving away wild life and making landscape worse. Meanwhile, it may also bring
conflict to very small group of minority nationalities, which have unique religion belief and living styles,
apart from that, part of residents have to relocate. The construction of the project may lead to turbidity and
contamination of water along the line; construction dust, atmosphere pollution; increase noise, affecting the
normal life of residents, school, and hospital. When the expressway is in operation, wild animal may be
forced away, water contamination dangerous index increases, noise amplifies leaving impact on local
residents' living. We will take measures such as sprinkle water; suspend work at night, enhancing

    III. Opinions from the participants on expressway construction
      l.Mr Ren, a teacher from County middle school: people have expected the expressway construction
 for long and will offer great support. People will accept the negative effect by the construction, there might
 be a very few opposing it, but, with the proper ideological work from the government, and neighbor's
 explanation, I think they will all accept the construction. In general, people offer their great support and
 warm attitude. As for me, I fully support it.
      2. Ms Ma: Hui minority. Completely support road construction, as it brings benefit to people, to our
 offspring, no any opposition, support it!
      3. Ms Xing: road construction, that's a good thing! As it benefits people, taking environmental
 protection measure itself has already shown it draws water to peoples' mill, besides, construction effect is
 only temporary. I don't have opposition, and feel happy, welcome the road construction.
      4.villager: the present mountain traffic is quite inconvenient, strongly hinders the villagers' contact to
 outside world as well as the development of local economy. With bad traffic condition, there is less
 developing opportunity, thus, getting poorer. While with good road, as time expended on traffic is greatly
 reduced, it gets easier for local agriculture, forest and mineral resources sent out. Building road is for good
 ofour offspring, we will absolutely support.
      5. Deputy to the People's Congress of the County: Eventually, the hope of road construction is to be
 realized, and we will do good work for the construction, support!
      6. Villager: we have been looking forward to the highway for long time. Building good highway to
 develop local economy and better people's living condition, thanks for such a careful work from up level.
 Supporting.

                        Environmental appraisals on typical section


1 Principle of choosing typical highway and status analysis

     Based on the interspacing distribution of 108 rural roads        (covering three districts and county), road
class (provincial, county, town and village), construction period, construction            characters (newly, rebuilt)
and landform, zoological sensitivity and work quantity, the following standards           are set up:
     (1) choosing high class road;
     (g) choosing road work about to be started;
      ) choosing road with complicated landform;
     (   choosing road with more zoological sensitivities;
     (   choosing road with large work quantity;
     (   synthetically considering distribution status of road network      in the 1-district-and-tow-counties, and
choosing representational road in the area.
     We put our emphases on choosing 6 rural road in our         environmental appraisal (Hongniu road, Huqian
highway, Landa highway, Tiemiao highway, Yuzi                  highway and Gunsan highway), with relevant
environmental protection measure proposed.
      The present road status of the 6 is shown     in table I - 1.

 2.4.3. Major environmental impact and reducing measures
        ( I ) Ecological environment impact and reducing measures

       The project is of rebuilding the existing road, basically the original     alignment is to be maintained.

 Land for construction is mostly within the R.O.W, besides,       the area that the line goes through is in steep

 mountain slops, where uncultivated waste mountain slops         cover a large part of section. Land acquired for

 the project is only a few of rice and forest pieces.
        To be provincial highway, the design shall be reasonably made by taking       full account of land scenery

 and using as much biological protection technique as possible.      On the one hand, it may avoid soil erosion,

 also, it will bring better landscape to the alignment.

       The hazard sections such as slop sliding, subgrade-sinking     shall be treated by clearing up loose rocks,

 setting up retaining wall and replacing soft soil. Care shall  be given to slop stability.

        After it is opened to traffic, care for vegetation shall be highlighted by dead tree replacement, cutting

  and maintaining work, making vegetation flourish and nice to ensure highway        landscape.

          (2)     Water environment impact and reducing measures

           Construction units shall not divert rivers at discretion unless reasonable diverting plan is submitted for

      approval.

           Borrow pit shall not be otherwise set within riverway apart from the existing pits, the pits shall not

      affect flood discharge and bank landscape, it shall be assigned within particular sections; proper protection

      work shall be arranged in construction period for preventing sand from being rushed into any river.

           In bridge and culvert construction, installation and removing of form-work, arch false-work shall be
T     matched with protection measures against water pollution by falling components and concrete. In each

      construction items, major pollutants are suspended substance in construction sewage, which must be treated

      in sediment before being discharged.

            As sand and gravel will be taken from river during construction, it may have big impact on any water

      system and quality. It is suggested immediate grading shall be arrange soon after sand collection to ensure

      current flow unblocked.

           After it opens to traffic, there is potential risk of transporting dangerous chemical substance along the

      highway; it is advisable to have the local government fulfilled with proper condition on dealing with

      emergences.

             (3 ) Acoustic and air environmental impacts and reducing measures

            Sensitive points of acoustic and air environment are quite less, unfocused. Major impacts come from

      construction period. For the reducing measure, see 4.2.2.1.4

              (4)  Social and environment impact and reducing measure

              The project is characterized as class III heavy hilly highway, vehicle speed is fast, thus, it is

      advisable to set up traffic signs near villages to avoid traffic accidents.

             The acquired and claimed land in highway construction shall be compensated sooner the better.

               (5)  other environmental protection measures

              In vulnerable ecological area, surface and vegetation soil shall be collected in good storage and

      construction shall be planned in stages so as to have vegetation soil replaced on the earlier completed slops

      of subgrade or borrow pits, keeping damage of surface vegetation to minimum.

 2.5.3. Major environmental impact and reducing measures


      (I )  Ecological environmental impact and reducing measures

       To reduce new soil erosion source, it is advisable to avoid high fill and deep cut in profile   section, the



                                                        146

      EIA and EPExecution Frame ofLRIP                                                                     Appendixs


      more balanced earthwork design the better for reducing      waste. Meanwhile, make good design on drainage
      and protection work, avoiding rain rush on mountain,        farm and forest as well as other facilities. After
      completion of the project, clear and return occupied   land back for recultivation, soon.
           For the strap-like-road rebuilt project, the major impact    on agriculture ecology environment is from
      dust pollution on crops along both sides of the   road by construction.
           Especially during the chrysalis period, too much     dust on mulberry leaf will make cocoon impossible,

-'    thus, farmers income will be affected. It is advisable  to sprinkle water in dense mulberry field section  and
      apply covers on vehicles.

            (2)    Water environment impact and reducing measures

           The major river that Gunsan highway passes          is Xiaomixi stream, which is class one branch       of
      Hanjiang river. Construction will hence affect water        quality of Hanjiang river. Management shall be
      enhanced on pollution control on sand material     washing, oil dripping from vehicles and sewage drains  from
      residential sites. Waste materials, asphalt, oil, chemical substance and living waste shall be stored far away
      from rivers.

            Vehicles, machines and boats for construction    must be routinely maintained against dripping   accident
      occurring on water pollution.

             (3)    Acoustic environmental impact and reducing measures

           Sensitive points of acoustic and air environment     are quite less, unfocused. Major impacts come   from
      construction period. For the reducing measure,    see 4.2.2.1.4
            (4)   Atmospheric environmental impact and reducing measures

           Construction sites, mixing plants and other     temporary land shall be hardened as much as    possible to
      reduce dust. Working sites, access roads shall be sprinkled      on fixed times and frequence, which shall be
      assigned in accordance with local weather forecast    and sensitivity of vegetation.
             (4)    Social environment impact and reducing measures

            While the road construction may promote local       economical development, it may also have negative
      impact on environment.

           Relief method;

           Relevant local departments shall enhance     management and environmental protection     education.
             (5)    Other protection measures

            (   contractors shall rent as many local houses as possible      as their working sites or set within the
      R.O.W. and take positive measures to reduce residential     sewage or wastes against water pollution.
           (©) construction units must select equipments, vehicles       in conformity with related state standard,
      ensuring that the pollution discharge conforms     to the state standard. Enhance maintenance on equipments
      of good running.

           () working sites shall be set far away from        Xiaomixi stream. Waste water is not allowed       to be
      discharged directly into rivers.

      2.5.4. Public participation

         * For the purpose of listening to suggestion    and comments from various social communities,      we called
      on rap sessions, interviewing individuals and distributing   opinion polls.

2.6.3 Major environmental impact and reducing      measures
        ( 1 ) Ecology environmental impact and reducing measures
     Major ecology environmental impact appears           as damage ground vegetation along the line.         The
construction will increase soil erosion. After project  is complete, place vegetation soil or recultivate  the site
as soon as possible, which may reduce the impact.
     Relief methods:
      (ID redefine positions of temporary land, borrowing and        dumping pits, making the style, quantity of
 construction more reasonable, using as          much waste, low production land as possible                before
 commencement.
       (    defining the designs in respects of main part of project,   method of removing, storing and erosion
protection for vegetation soil on borrow and      damp pits and temporary land, so as to secure        the mellow
surface soil be reused in future cultivation of the sites.
       (M)immediately after temporary land acquisition      complete, the land shall be recultivated and placed
 with planting or vegetation as soon as possible.
       (2)   Acoustic environment impact and reducing measures
     Due to the large Environmental allowance along       the line, less traffic volume, it is presumed thattraffic
noise may meet the standard.
      Construction noise will have impact on acoustic       environment quality, mainly affect the area     within
130m in daytime and 480m at night.
     Relief methods:
      (IDmake control on location of large scale equipments and adjust operation                time (reduce night
   operation).
       ®    enhance maintenance and repairing of all types    of equipments, to have them in good running       for
   reducing noise sources.
       (3)     Water environment impact and reducing measures
      The main pollutants are construction materials, waste,      and sewage from resident sites contaminating
   ground water quality. Traffic volume in operation        stage is not quite large, and with environmental
   allowance of the river, it is presumed that the impact    of runoff ofroad surface on water quality is minor
   in road operation stage.
     Relief method:
      (     in construction, material such as asphalt,  oil, chemistry shall be stored far away from       river or
covered with cover if necessary.
       ©)no    storage placement of any road construction     material or discharge hazard contents, waste,    and
borrow or damp along both sides of the river.
      (©) no sewage discharged randomly into rivers,     no storage of waste from resident camps
        (4)     Atmospheric environmental impact and reducing        measures
      Major environmental impact of the project is        of dust in construction period, such impact can be
reducing by placing covers on vehicles and distant     arrangement of mixing plant from local residents (lOOm
away)
       (6)     Social environmental impact and reducing measures
      Heavy-duty vehicles may damage pavement and increase             traffic and safety hazard in construction
period. Maintenances on road pavement shall be strengthened        during construction.
        (5)      Other environmental protection measures
