Its total population is 165million 1 , and its population density is 611persons/km2, which is 4.8 times of the national level. Due to its central location in China, Huai River Basin has a very developed transportation system, which consists of several key railways, Jinghang Canal, Huai River, inland rivers and highways extending in all directions. Featured by its typical agricultural economy, the basin is also strategically important for the whole country from an economic perspective. It produces 1/6 of the nation’s food and 1/4 of the national cash crops with only 1/12 of the national arable land area. However, the gross industrial output value, GDP and per-capita GDP of the basin are still lower than the national levels, that is, the basin still belongs to the economically undeveloped area. Figure 1: Map of Huai River Basin 1 Data by the end of 2000. Page 15 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 15/335 Figure 2: Topographic map of Huai River Basin and its relative location compared with other major rivers in China The particular geographical and climatic conditions and the interference of human activities for decades have made the Huai River Basin very vulnerable to floods and droughts. Although a flood control system consisting of reservoirs, flood storage and discharge projects, dykes, rivers and flood ways has been developed for the basin since the foundation of the P.R.C., it still suffers a lot from the floods once every three to five years. In addition, despite the great efforts put by the central and local governments since 1990’s, the water pollution remains a major concern for the Huai River basin due to the rapid industrial development and urbanization in this area. 1.1.2 Bengbu Municipality Bengbu Municipality, located in the northeast of Anhui province, has four districts (Longzihou, Bangshan, Yuhui and Huaishang), three counties (Huaiyuan, Wuhe and Guzhen) and two development zones (High-tech Industry Development Zone and Economic Development Zone) under its administration. It covers an area of 5952 km2 (4.27% of the provincial area) and a population of 3.49 million (5.36% of the province). Page 16 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 16/335 Figure 3: Location of Bengbu in P.R. China Figure 4: Districts & Counties of Bengbu Municipality Bengbu is the first municipality of Anhui Province, which is also the most important traffic hub in East China and the biggest port city along Huai River. As an old industrial city, Bengbu is the Processing /Technology and Commerce Centre in Northern Anhui. The major industries in Bengbu include deep processing of agricultural products and refined chemicals, glass and glass products, special machinery manufacture and automobile parts. With the approval of the State Council, it is also one of the pilot cities in Middle China benefiting from the same national policies as applied to the revitalization of Old Industrial Base in Northeast China. With the rapid economic development and urbanization, the current per capita GDP of Bengbu here has reached 10000yuan. During the “Tenth-five-year” period, Bengbu Municipality has attracted 43million USD foreign investment and 13.5billion RMB domestic investment from out of Bengbu, mainly in the secondary and tertiary industries. However, due to the insufficient industrial investment and irrational industrial structure, the gross industrial output of the city is 9.65billion yuan, accounting for 5.26% of the total provincial gross industrial output and ranked No.9 in the province behind the municipalities such as Hefei, Wuhu, Ma’anshan and Anqing. In addition, as an important city in the middle and lower reaches of Huai River Basin, Bengbu also suffers a lot from frequent flooding, ecosystem deterioration, and water pollution. Both urban Page 17 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 17/335 environment and water supply are endangered by the incompletion of urban sewage network and wastewater treatment facilities. 1.1.3 BIEIP Project Organization Under the leadership of the Municipal Project Leading Group, the Bengbu Municipal World Bank Project Management Office (“the municipal PMO”) has been designated by the municipal government as its representative for the project coordination and management. Consequently, the municipal PMO is at the centre of the project management process. Requests for administrative and technical assistance funds originate with the municipal PMO. Requests for reimbursements of construction costs originate from the Implementing Agencies through the local PMOs for review and approval and then to Anhui Provincial Finance Bureau for review, approval and forwarding to the Bank. The municipal PMO appoints technical assistance (TA) consultants for the project, selects the tendering companies, and upon recommendation of the technical assistance consultants, designates the construction supervision company. The local Project Offices may also designate local construction supervisors. Each project has its own project management office, which represents the project area or the county. At municipal level the provincial Audit Bureau has delegated the audit responsibility to the Municipal Audit Bureau. At municipal level, several agencies are involved at various degrees of responsibilities: Municipal DRC, Municipal Finance Bureau, Construction Commission, Municipal EPB, Municipal Water Resources Bureau (WRB). 7KH\03 )UHQFK\03 *RYHUQPHQW\03 SURYLGHG\03 D\03 JUDQW\03 WR\03 WKH\03 %HQJEX\03 0XQLFLSDO\03 *RYHUQPHQW\03 IRU\03 D\03 WHFKQLFDO\03 DVVLVWDQFH\03 IURP\03 WKH\03 )UHQFK\03 FRQVXOWLQJ\03 FRPSDQ\\03 %85*($3\0f\03 WR\03 DVVLVW\03 WKH\03 PXQLFLSDO\03 JRYHUQPHQW\03 LQ\03 SURMHFW\03SODQQLQJ\03DQG\03GHVLJQ\0f\03DQG\03IRU\03WKH\03SUHSDUDWLRQ\03RI\03WKH\03WHFKQLFDO\0f\03HQYLURQPHQWDO\03DQG\03ILQDQFLDO\03 GRFXPHQWDWLRQ\03WR\03EH\03SUHVHQWHG\03WR\03WKH\03:%\03IRU\03ORDQ\03HOLJLELOLW\\11\03 Figure 5: Organization chart of BIEIP 1.1.4 Contributions of World Bank & Other Financing Agencies Due to the important location in Huai River Basin, the Municipality of Bengbu has also benefited from some other on-going projects financed by World Bank and other financing agencies, including Huai River Pollution Control Project (P047345, World Bank), Huai River Basin Flood Management and Drainage Improvement Project (P098078, World Bank) and Anhui Water Environmental Improvement Project (AWEIP, Japanese loan). Huai River Pollution Control Project was approved in March 2001 by World Bank, which mainly aims at the improvement of wastewater collection and treatment in a number of municipalities in Anhui and Shandong Provinces including Bengbu. Its investments in Bengbu includes the construction of 28.5km sewers, 70.4km interceptors, 1.5km pumping mains and 5 pumping stations, most of which are Page 18 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 18/335 located in Bengbu urban area and Huaishang District. The project is expected to be completed by end of 2007. Huai River Water Resources Commission started the preparation of another major flood management project for potential financing by the Bank in 2005, which is called Huai River Basin Flood Management \09 Drainage Improvement Project (P098078). The project would aim at the increase of local agricultural productivity and farmers’ incomes by better protecting against floods, the properties and lives of many people living in predominantly rural areas of the Huai River Basin. This would be done through the provision of improved flood control and drainage works and strengthened institutional capability to effectively reduce the severity and impact of flooding and water logging in Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. As an important city in the river basin, the involvement of Bengbu in this project would certainly improve the dialog between the municipality and the basin-wide administration. The Anhui Water Environmental Improvement Project, financed by Japanese loan (JBIC), which aims to reduce polluted water discharged into the Huai River and ensure a stable supply of safe drinking water to Bengbu City, by developing its water supply and sewerage infrastructure. Specifically, the Project consists of five sub-projects, i.e. Yangtaizi WWTP; 134.84km sewage network and pumping stations in Bengbu city; Guobei WWTP, 59.3km sewage network, WTP expansion, 100km water supply network and 110km drainage network in Huaiyuan County; 30km water supply network and 40km drainage network in Wuhe County and water supply & sewage system in Guzhen County. The loan agreement has been signed in May 2007 with the total project cost of 110.6million yuan. The coverage of the above mentioned projects is shown in Figure 5 together with the locations of the proposed BIEIP components. It is shown that the three projects have covered the urban area and the three counties of Bengbu Municipality. However, the Huai River Pollution Control Project and the Anhui Water Environment Improvement Project mainly focus on the improvement of municipal infrastructure, such as sewers, sewage pumping stations, the WWTPs and the WTPs; while the proposed BIEIP will mainly focus on the improvement of local flood control and storm management facilites, such as storm pumping stations, drainage network and river de-silting. Note: For AWEIP, there is no exact project location available. The red dots only stand for the rough project location.

This consolidated EA report will a comprehensive analysis of project targets, specific impacts of the sub-components with their mitigation measures and outlines the dominant socio- economic improvements to the welfare of communities. This report is complemented by: i) Consolidated Resettlement Action Plan (RAP); ii) Consolidated Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMP); iii) EA Summary Report, and iv) Individual EA Reports for each sub-project component. 1.2.2 Preparation of CEA The Project technical and financial preparation carried out by Chinese local organizations has been supported by international assistance to BIEIP provided by BURGEAP, the Design Review and Advisory Services (DRAS) Consultants to the BIEIP World Bank project management office who is responsible for the overall preparation and coordination of the project. For the 8 sub-projects, Zhongnan Design Institute and Bengbu Municipal Survey & Design Institute were appointed by the project owner (BIEIP PMO) to carry out the feasibility studies and to produce Feasibility Study Reports (FSR). For the environmental assessment documents, the PMO has appointed the North China Municipal Design Institute (NCMDI), a Class A certified EA institute based in Tianjin, to prepare all the individual EAs. NCMDI is also appointed to prepare the Chinese Consolidated EA for BIEIP as well as the Environmental Management Plans (one per sub-project). Page 22 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 22/335 In accordance with the Government Regulation “Environmental Impact Assessment Law” of September 2003, Strengthening Environmental Impact Assessment Management for Construction Projects Loaned by International Finance Organisation” of June 21, 1993 and the World Bank Safeguards Operational Policy, the PMO has requested the DRA Consultants to assist in the preparation of the English consolidated EA, as well as to prepare the English versions of the EMP and of the EA Summary. Various assistances have been provided by DRA consultants since February 2007 to introduce the World Bank Safeguards requirements in the preparation of EIA documentation, including the report framework for individual EIAs and consolidated EA. The present Consolidated EA report is based on individual EA studies carried out for each sub-project of the BIEIP. It has been prepared by SCMDI with the assistance of the DRAS Consultant. According to Chinese regulations, the provincial EPB is responsible for review and approval of four individual EA reports for the four sub-projects with the project cost over 100million RMB (Urban Wastewater and Storm Drainage Project, Longzi Lake Storm Management & Environmental Improvement Project, Huaishang Flood Control, Storm Management and Urban Environmental Infrastructure Improvement Project, and Wuhe County Storm Drainage and Ecological Improvement Project), and the municipal EPB is responsible for review and approval of the individual EA reports for the other four sub-project with the project cost less than 100million RMB (Tianhe Flood Control Project, Xijiagou Canal Flood Management and Environmental Improvement Project, Guzhen County Storm Drainage and Ecological Improvement Project and Huaiyuan County Storm Drainage and Ecological Improvement Project). 1.3 Coverage of this Consolidated EA The Consolidated EA is being prepared strictly in accordance with National and Provincial laws, codes and criteria relating to environmental protection. It satisfies the Chinese EA system, whilst at the same time gives full attention to the requirements of the World Bank’s environmental safeguards, and more precisely those of the Operational Policy 4.01 for EA. The CEA is based on the collection and use of existing materials (secondary data) as well as data resulting from field investigations carried out during the preparation of Individual EAs for each sub- project. The CEA intends to provide a comprehensive and synthesized view of environmental implications resulting from the implementation of the 8 sub-projects. 1.4 Layout of the Consolidated EA Report The following chapters of the CEA report present the detailed analyses conducted as part of the overall Environmental Assessment and follows closely the report format recommended in WB OP 4.01/Appendix B: • Chapter 2 "Institutional and Regulatory Framework" discusses the policy, legal, institutional and administrative framework within which the EA has been conducted describing both the environmental requirements of the PRC and of the World Bank; • Chapter 3 "Environmental Policy Framework" describes the key environmental issues observed at basin level and in the project area, with on-going sector policies; • Chapter 4 "Environmental Baseline Situation" describes the background environmental and social conditions (physical, biological and socio-economic conditions) within which the project components are developed, both on a regional scale and on a site specific level; • Chapter 5 "Project Description" provides a summary technical presentation of the proposed subcomponents along with their implementation schedule and costs; • Chapter 6 "Environmental Impacts Assessment" provides prediction and assessment of likely environmental, economic and social impacts, both positive and negative, for the proposed BIEIP project; Page 23 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 23/335 • Chapter 7 "Mitigation Measures" describes the recommended mitigation measures during project construction and operation; • Chapter 8 "Alternatives Analysis" compares feasible alternatives to the proposed project components, including the “zero-project” scenario; • Chapter 9 "Public Consultation & Information Disclosure" describes the activities and results of Public Consultation and information disclosure; • Chapter 10 "Summary of EMPs" provides information on the Environmental Management Plans covering mitigation measures, monitoring and institutional strengthening as well as activities and budget developed for each concerned district/county; • Chapter 11 "Resettlement and Social Impacts" summarizes the main conclusions of individual RAPs for BIEIP components and the consolidated social assessment report for BIEIP; • Chapter 12 "Conclusions and Recommendations" provides major findings of the study, including short and long terms benefits of the Project. Page 24 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 24/335 2 Institutional & Regulatory Framework 2.1 Environmental Institutions and Roles The State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA): Since March 1998, SEPA has become a ministerial-level authority directly under the State Council responsible for the environmental protection in China. SEPA is responsible for the drafting and interpretation of pertinent standards, laws and regulations and guidelines, as well as the supervision and inspection of their implementation. As stipulated by the “Provision for Management of Environmental Protection in Construction Projects”, since the year 2003, Classd reviews and approvals of construction project EIA documents have been exercised by the Environmental Protection Bureaus (EPBs) at all levels. For projects invested with budget funds from the central government and designated as budgetary investment projects, projects dedicated with special funds, nuclear projects, top-confidential projects and project of military industry, as well as cross-region or cross-river basins, the EIA documentation should be reviewed and approved by SEPA. For projects only requiring EIA reporting sheet and EI registration table, the EIA documentation will be reviewed and approved, under the authority of SEPA, by the EPB institutions of the provinces, autonomous regions or municipalities where the construction projects are to be implemented. The Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau (Provincial EPB): The Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) is responsible for environmental planning, monitoring and regulation. The principal duties of the Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau are to frame local legislation and standards, to supervise and administer the control of industrial pollution, to set tariffs for effluents, to study and monitor pollution and to plan for pollution control and environmental management. The EPB manage revolving loan funds (funded by a major portion of polluter fines for non-standard discharges). The Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau (Municipal EPB): The main responsibilities of the municipal EPB include: ƒ Implementing the national and provincial policies, laws, rules and standards on environment protection; ƒ Making plans on municipal environment protection: participating in the establishment of municipal economic and social development middle-term and long-term plans; managing the work of municipal environmental statistic and information; publishing the report of municipal environment status; ƒ Environment protection of atmosphere, water body, soil in the city: supervising the prevention and treatment of polluters such as wastewater, waste gas, noise, solid wastes, poisonous chemical products, nuclear radiation, radiant products and motor vehicles; investigating and treating the environment pollution accidents and mitigating the pollution plumes; ƒ Approving the environmental impact assessment report of construction project; supervising the disposal of municipal pollution sources; ƒ Supervising and managing the construction and protection of municipal natural ecologic environment; supervising the protection of biodiversity, wild animals and plants and wetland; ƒ Communication and education on environment protection; popularizing the scientific and law knowledge of environment. Bengbu Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau exerts leadership on the EPBs of the district/counties involved in BIEIP. According to the Chinese regulations, the individual EIAs for the sub-projects under BIEIP will be reviewed and approved by Anhui Provincial EPB and Bengbu Municipal EPB according to their different cost estimation.

Page 29 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 29/335 3 Environmental Policy Framework 3.1 Main Environmental Issues and Strategies in Huai River Basin 3.1.1 Water Pollution The water pollution of Huai River Basin started in the late 1970’s and exacerbated in 1980’s. The large-scale water pollution accidents took place more and more frequently in Huai River Basin in recent decades, respectively in 1989, 1992, 1994 and 1995.Thereafter, relevant pollution control strategies and policies have been successively issued by the State Council and local governments to alleviate the conditions, such as the “Provisional Regulations on Water Pollution Control of Huai River Basin” (Aug. 8th 1995, the first river basin water pollution control regulation in China), the “Water Pollution Control Plan and the Ninth-five-year plan of Huai River Basin” (Jun. 29th 1996) and the “Tenth-five-year Plan for Water Pollution Control of Huai River Basin”. The water pollution targets for the whole Huai River Basin are divided into two phases: the first is to make the discharge from all the industrial polluters in the basin up to standard and to reduce the COD discharge from 1.5million tons of 1993 to 890,000 tons by the end of 1997; and the second is to construct 52 municipal WWTPs for the whole basin and to further reduce the COD discharge to 368,000 tons so as to improve the water quality of the main stream of Huai River, upstream of Yi River and key drinking water sources up to the Class III standard and that of other rivers up to the Class IV standard. With the great efforts put in Huai River Basin (including the compulsory shutdown of hundreds of heavily polluting small industries and the administration over the key industrial polluters in the basin), significant accomplishments have been made over the last 12 years. Especially during the “Ninth-five- year” period (1996-2000), the key pollutant, COD discharge, has dropped from the 1.5million tons of 1995 to 1.167million tons of 1998 and 0.94million tons of 2000 (respectively by 22.2% and 36.9%); in 2000, the water quality compliant rate at the provincial boundary has increased by 8.8% compared with the 1995 level; and there is significant decrease of major water pollution accidents in the basin. However, after 2001, with the completion of the first phase Huai River pollution control action, the pollutant discharge into the river increased again in recent years. In 2003, the COD discharged into the river was up to 1.23million tons, 30% beyond the 2000 level. The water quality compliant rate at the provincial boundary showed a gradually decreasing trend, from the 29.1% of 2000 to the 25.8% of 2001 and the 24.6% of 2002. Even with the dilution of the biggest flood in 50 years, the overall water quality compliant rate of 2003 was only 38.4%. 82 of the key controlled cross sections are classified as Class V or worse than Class V, and about 82% of the cross sections haven’t reached the predefined target. The existing problems mainly include: 1. The incompliant pollution discharge by key industrial polluters remains the major cause for the pollution exacerbation. By the end of 2003, only 51.7% of the industrial outfalls could meet the discharge requirements. And the industrial pollution contributes to about 70% of the total COD discharge in the river basin. 2. The construction of many planned municipal WWTPs is behind schedule, and the normal operation of constructed WWTPs could not be ensured. 3. The agricultural non-point pollution hasn’t been effectively controlled, so that the NH3-N concentration is far beyond the standard requirement. 4. The ecological water use has been seriously taken into consideration in the exploitation and allocation of water resource. Therefore, during the dry season, some rivers are dried up, and the self-purification capacity of the water bodies will be affected. Page 30 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 30/335 In view of the above mentioned problems, in Oct. 2005, SEPA has issued the new water pollution control targets for Huai River Basin with the focus on the control and treatment of industrial and domestic wastewater from the urban area. The targets are further divided into three phases: a) By the end of 2005, the completion and operation rate of key pollution control projects should be no lower than 60%; b) By the end of 2007, 90% of the key pollution control projects should be put into operation, and the treatment rate of domestic wastewater from the municipalities in Shandong, Jiangsu Provinces, etc. should at least reach 70%; c) By the end of 2010, the water quality of the main stream of Huai River should reach the Class III target, and the water quality of the major tributaries of Huai River should meet the Class IV or Class V requirements. 3.1.2 Water Scarcity Due to the spatio-temporal imbalance of water resource distribution, the Huai River Basin is an area facing the problem of severe water shortage with the per-capita water resource amount of 488m3, which is lower than 1/4 of the nationally average level. According to the “Water Resource Development ’Ninth-five-year’ plan for the Huai River Plan”, with the construction of proposed water supply projects, by 2000 for the normal year, the water supply of the Huai River Basin is basically sufficient; However, for the moderately dry year, there is still a gap of 8.38billion m3 water demand in the Huai River Basin, which means 10% water deficiency rate; and for the very dry year, the gap of water demand would be 24.27billion m3, which means 26% water demand deficiency. In 95% of the very dry years, the guarantee rate of agricultural irrigation water supply would not be reached. In such years, the adopted strategies are to minimize the agricultural water use, to save other water uses, and to properly increase he groundwater use for the area north of the Huai River (Wangjiaba~Bengbu) and the area west of the Nansi Lake. In addition to the optimization of water resource management in the basin, the cross-basin water transfer is a possible solution to mitigate the water supply shortage of the Huai River Basin in view of its vicinity to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. By 2010, it is expected that the water shortage of the Huai River Basin would still be of water resource type. However, the contruction of the eastern and middle sections of “South-north water transfer project” and the cross-basin water transfer project of Anhui Province will significantly alleviate the water shortage in Huai River Basin, so that in the normal year, the water supply will be generally sufficient. At the same time, the area north of the Huai River upstream of Wangjiaba, the area between Wangjiaba and Bengbu, and the eastern area of Nansi Lake will remain a water deficiency rate beyond 20%. For these areas, it is proposed to strictly control the development of the industries with high water consumption, promote the water conservancy, and properly increase the cross-basin water transfer and the utilization of sea water. 3.2 Bengbu Municipal Environmental Quality Objectives 3.2.1 Bengbu Municipal Urban Short-term Construction Plan This short-term plan is prepared for the Bengbu urban area, the Tushan Mount Scenic Area and part of the Mohekou Industrial Park, covering a total area of 680km2 for the horizon of 2010. 3.2.1.1 General Objectives The following objectives are expected to be achieved by 2010: z Increase 140km new roads, and the per-capita road area reaches 10.2m2; z The per-capita public greening area is about 7m2, and the greening coverage rate of the constructed area reaches 30.3%; z The urban water supply capacity is up to 560000m3/d, the per-capita water consumption is 220l/d, and the coverage rate of water supply service is beyond 99%; Page 31 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 31/335 z The urban centralized wastewater treatment capacity reaches 275000m3/d, the centralized wastewater treatment rate is 73.3% and the harmless treatment rate of solid waste reaches 90%; z The water quality compliant rate of rivers and lakes is over 70%, and the water quality compliant rate of urban water supply source is beyond 95%; z The flood control capability of the North Huai River dyke and the urban area is up to the one in 100 years standard. 3.2.1.2 Relocation of Industries and Construction of Industrial Parks In order to adapt to the overall development master plan, it is planned to gradually move some existing polluting industries from the old urban area and the suburban area into the new industrial parks. z Movement and relocation of industries The existing industries planned to be moved and relocated include Anhui Global Pharmaceutical Company, People Printing Plant, Bengbu Tiancheng Co.

By 2007 the small- and middle-scale polluting industries should be relocated, and by 2010 all the polluting industries should be moved into the industrial parks; - Develop the ecological agricultural parks; - Construct the resource circular economy by establishing the recycling and reuse system for urban domestic solid waste, special used materials and urban treated wastewater together with the regional industrial hazardous waste incineration centre, the used batteries and fluorescent lamp tube disposal centre, the medical waste disposal centre, etc; In order to achieve all the above targets by 2010, totally 80 environmental protection projects have also been identified in the master plan, such as: - Drinking water source pollution control project for three counties; - Wetland ecological environmental construction project for the groundwater conservation area in Huaishang District; - Water quality protection project for Qian River as strategic urban water supply source; - Longzi Lake integrated rehabilitation project - Zhangongshan Pond integrated rehabilitation project - Wastewater treatment projects for some key polluter of Bengbu Municipality; - Relocation of some key polluter of Bengbu; - Wastewater treatment plants for Bengbu urban area and three counties; Page 38 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 38/335 - Clean energy project; - Waste gas treatment for some key polluters of Bengbu Municipality; - Bengbu domestic sanitary solid waste landfill site (Phase I & II); - Solid waste disposal site for Huaishang District and three counties - Medical solid waste disposal centre of Bengbu Municipality; - Sludge disposal project of Bengbu wastewater treatment plants; - Flood control and ecological environment improvement project for the southern and northern banks of Huai River; - Environmental monitoring capability building; - Construction of Bengbu Environmental Information System; etc. - Many of these projects are being implemented with the government investment. And some of them will be included in BIEIP using the World Bank financing, which include: - Longzi Lake integrated rehabilitation project; - Flood control and ecological environment improvement project for the northern banks of Huai River; - Environmental monitoring capability building; etc. 3.2.4 Bengbu Municipality Eleventh-five-year Plan for Water Resource Development 3.2.4.1 General Objectives z Complete the flood control & storm drainage system --The treatment of such primary mainstream & tributary as Huai river, Guo river, Beifei river & Xie river should be enhance to improve the integrated flood control & storm drainage ability. Meanwhile, to improve the storm drainage capacity and reinforce the flood control & anti- drought emergency system, flood control pump station in each depression of the lager five tributaries as Tianhe,Longzi river, Qian river ,Xie river & downsream Beifei River should be discussed to build, while the flood control pump station improvement projects of Benifei River dike ,Jingshan Lake & Mohekou depression as well as storm drainage ditch treatment projects also need to be implemented z Establish the secure and reliable water supply security system -----Focusing on the current water resources and making full use of the potential of water saving and floods to ensure urban water supply safety, then carrying on the construction to protect urban drink water sources like Tianhe and Qianhe. Finally, the water resource distribution Page 39 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 39/335 ability should also be enhance to improve the rural drink water quality by carrying on drink water safety project in rural area. z Establish sustainable and effective water environmental protection system ------Sticking to combining the engineering measures with non-engineering measures to tap, utilize and protect water resources. Also the soil and water conservation should be activated and the wet land should be taped and protected intentionally, reasonably and step by step. z Establish stable and sound water resource development system in rural area ------To guarantee the agricultural development, stable society and income rise in rural area, the farmland and water resources construction should be continuously strengthened and the drainage situation should be improved. z Establish normalized and effective water management and service system ------The water information collection system and decision-making assistant system should be set up to further improve the emergency schema for flood control and anti-drought. 3.2.4.2 Targets of Water Resource Development z Flood control and storm drainage ------Up to the year 2010, the flood control standard for protection area like Huaibei dike and Bengbu urban area will reach 1-in-100 year flood while the flood control standard of major tributaries like Hui river. Xie river, Qian river, Tuo river, downstream Beifei river etc will almost rise to 1-in-20 year flood thus the flood control standard for Bengbu city, Huaiyuan county, Guzhen county and Wuhe county will fundamentally meet the national requirement. Besides the flood disaster warning system ought to be established and The depression storm drainage projects in key region should be built based on 1-in-10 flood to fully upClass the drainage capacity. z Drink water safety----The water sources protection project in urban area will be radically finished in 2010. z Country water resources ----During the “the eleventh 5-year plan”, the irrigative land equipping, water-saving rehabilitation and farming land storm drainage system construction will be activated and the surface and ground water will be attributed scientifically and rationally. By 2010, the new drainage area will be 500,000 mu while the improved will be 500,000mu.The standard farming land reclaim will attain to 800,000mu with common storm drainage standard of 1 in 5 ~10 flood. To the year 2020, The farming land reclaim will arrive at 2 million mu with a drainage standard of 1-in-10 year flood. z Water resources protection and ecological treatment ------To the year 2010, the water quality up-to-standard rate for the primary rivers and lakes will get to above 70% and the water sources for urban area will go up to above 95%.The treatment projects for Longzi lake and Xijiagou should be launched to ensure the water quality of Longzi lake and Zhanggongshan pond basically meet the water requirement for landscape.

of Bengbu Municipality is occupied by plains with relatively centralized hills and many interlaced rivers, canals and lakes. The area to the north of Huai River is mostly plain, accounting for about 86% of the whole municipality. To the south of Huai River, there is mainly incontinuous hilly area with some lakes, which accounts for about 9% of the whole municipality. And the water surface accounts for 8% of the whole municipality, including the rivers like Huai River, Guo River, Huaihongxin River and the lakes like Sifang Lake, Tuo Lake and Xiangjian Lake. 4.2 Hydrology Bengbu Municipality is a part of Huai River. There are many rivers and lakes distributed in the city (as shown in Figure 8), which respectively belong to Huai River water system and Huaihongxin River water system as presented below. Table 6: Main Characteristics of Water Systems in Bengbu Name of Water System Catchment Area (km2) Names of Key Rivers Names of Key Lakes Name of Key Low- lying Areas Main stream of Huai River 2120 Huai River; To the left of Huai River: Nihei River, Qianhuaixin River, Qian River, Guo River; To the right of Huai River: Dushan River, Tianhe, Baligou Canal, Xijiagou Canal and Longzi River Qianhewa Lake, Tianhewa Lake and Longzi Lake Tangyu Lake, Jingshan Lake, Kongjin Lake, Fangqiu Lake, Xiangfu Section, Linbei Section, Sanchong Lake, Sanpu Lake, Huayuan Lake Huaihongxin River 3832 Huaihongxin River, Middle- stream and downstreatm of Beifei River, Xie River, Baohui River and Tuo River Sifang Lake, Xiehewa Lake, Xiangjian Lake, Zhangjia Lake, Tuo Lake, Tianjing Lake, Diaoyutai Lake, Sancha River Huajiagoul, Liancheng, Jiuwan, Heinigou, Malagou, Longtan Lake Page 46 R I g 0 0 0 0 2 A 1 7 9 7 8 / C I G Z 0 7 0 2 8 7 X D H / G D M A u g u s t 2 0 0 7 P a g e : 4 6 / 3 3 5 F i g u r e 8 : A q u a t i c S y s t e m s i n B e n g b u M u n i c i p a l i t y Page 47 August 2007 Page: 47/335 The average runoff depth of Bengbu Municipality is 246.4mm, and the corresponding runoff quantity is 1.5billion m3. The average flow of Huai River is 841m3/s with the annual passing runoff quantity of 26.5billion m3. There are more than 60 controllable rivers and lakes with the water surface around 400km2 and the water storage of 769million m3. The section of Huai River within Bengbu Municipality is 147km with the width between 600-800m and the bottom elevation around 8m (Yellow River elevation system). Bengbu section is in the lower section of the middle-stream Huai River, which is featured by its smallest riverbed elevation difference, only 5% of the total difference of the river. However, 90% of the riverbed elevation difference is concentrated in the upper stream section. The significant difference has resulted in the frequent floods in the middle stream due to large amounts of flood discharge from upstream during the flooding season every year. The catchment area controlled by the Bengbu Section of Huai River main stream (Upstream of Bengbu Gate) is 121,000km2, accounting for 64.7% of the total catchment of Huai River. The measurement by Bengbu Hydrology Station shows that the average annual flow here is 26.7billion m3 with the maximum of 63.7billion m3 (in the year of 1954) and the minimum of 2.7billion m3 (in 1978). The highest flood level of typical flooding years happened in 1954, which is 22.18m, while the lowest flood level of Huai River Bengbu Section is 10.36m (December 1966). On a yearly basis, the highest water level normally happens in July, which is 15.52m by average; and the lowest water level happens in January, which is 12.77m by average. With the completion of the Bengbu Gate, the hydrological characteristics upstream and downstream of the gate have dramatically changed. The upstream water level is normally between 17-18m, while the normal downstream water level is around 13m, which means there is about 4-5m water head difference. Therefore, the regulation of Bengbu Gate has made the flow of Huai River in this section change from smooth flow to stagnant flow. The upstream stagnant section becomes the surface water recharging the groundwater throughout the year, while the downstream section is recharged by the groundwater. 4.3 Geology Bengbu is in the North China Strata Region, where Lower Proterozoic Wuhe Group Xigu Stratum and Neo-archean Quaternary are growing. Tectonic unit belongs to Sino-Korean Paroplatforms, its scale includes Huai River basin and Jianghuai Area, it’s only an angle at south-east of platform, belonging to Class tectonic unit, which is divided into several secondary units, Bengbu is in the Class unit – above Bengbu platform arch. The stratum is the Huai River division of North China Strata Region, Middle and Late Paleozoic Stratums are missing. Strata before Early Paleozoic are mainly composed by the metamophic rock and marine strata, Strata of Mesozoic Era and Cenozoic Era are mainly composed by terrestrial strata and volcanic rock. 4.4 Climate Bengbu is at the northern edge of North Subtropical Zone, in the humid region of tropical monsson climate, the main characteristics are long winter and summer, short spring and autumn, the rainfall is concentrated in the rain season, illumination is abundant, quantity of heat is rich, the frostless period is long. In winter, controlled by Siberian High Pressure, the north-west wind is frequent, the climate is dry and less rainfall; in summer, influenced by Pacific Subtropical High Pressure, the south-east wind is frequent, the climate is hot and humid, the rainfall is concentrated. Page 48 August 2007 Page: 48/335 Since the confrontation of inter-annual cold and warm air mass activities is frequent, the rainfall is concentrated, the annual average precipitation is 905.4mm, and the average frostless period is 217 days. The leading wind direction in Bengbu is east wind, the first season is north-east wind, the second season is east wind, the third season and the forth season are east-north wind. The calm wind frequency in the whole year is 6%, the multi-annual average wind speed is 2.5m/s, and that in flood season from June to September is 2.3m/s, the max average wind speed is in June, which is 3.0m/s, the min average wind speed is in January and August, which is 2.1m/s. 4.5 Soil and vegetation The types of soil are various in the whole city, the classification uses the “5 categories taxonomy”: soil order, soil great group, soil subgroup, soil genus and soil species. In the whole city, there are 5 soil orders, 8 soil great groups, 13 soil subgroups, 31 soil genuses and 62 soil species. Bengbu is in the transition area between North Subtropical Zone and South Warm Temperate Zone, across two bioclimatic zones. The topography and geomorphology is complex, so the soil types and distribution are transitional. There is no high mountainous area in the city, so there is no evident rule of vertical spectrum mountainous soil distribution. Although the transitional soil characteristic isn’t evident, the various soil distribution characteristics under corresponding topography and field quality conditions are still clear, so the regional distribution has various forms. Tu Mountain, Jing Mountain, Laohu Mountain, Yan Mountain, Cao Mountain, Zhuizi Mountain, East and West Lu Mountain and Dagong Mountain are acid crystalline rock hills, which form the soil area with yellow-brown soil and Aluminosilisic skeletal soil; Dahong Mountain, Minglong Mountain, Dajin Mountain and Dafei Mountain are carbonate hills, mainly the brown limestone soil; Flood area along Huai River, Guo River, Xie River, Hui River and middle and down streams of Beifei River are distributed with fluvo-aquic soil; low-lying plain in Huaibei and Tianhe Lake area are Shajiang black soil areas. The soil distribution rule from south to north is: yellow- brown soil-fluvo-aquic soil-Shajiang black soil. Bengbu is in the transition zone of deciduous broad-leaved forests in warm temperate zone, deciduous broad-leaved forests in north subtropical zone and evergreen broad- leaved forests, the main vegetation is deciduous broad-leaved forests in warm temperate zone. The native natural vegetation has disappeared because of the historical changes, but the typical north and south trees are distributed in this area. The vegetation can be divided into following types according to the natural vegetation and artificial vegetation: secondary forest shrub, ancient scattered trees, artificial forest, protection forest and surrounding scattered trees, fruit trees, mulberry trees, underbrush, fireweeds, marsh and aquatic vegetation. The artificial forest is monotonous, there are more pure forests and less mixed forests, usually it’s the mixture of black pines, masson pines and locust trees, sawtooth oaks. The protection forest is along Huai River embankment, poplar trees, Chinese parasol trees, deodar cedars and Chinese locust trees are planted at 2 sides of the urban roads, the greening of suburban roads is poplar trees, willows, paulownia and locust trees. Suburban gardening farms and fruit forests villages have economic forests such as Page 49 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 49/335 apple trees, pear trees, grapes and pomegranates. There are 415 tree species in the whole city, belonging to 56 families, 102 genuses. There are 140 species of common arbors, 70 species of common bushes and 10 species of vine plants. 4.6 Air In 2005, the annual average concentrations of SO 2 , NO 2 and PM 10 (Particle Matter) in Bengbu are compliant with Class II requirements of the national standard, “Environmental air quality standard” (GB3095-1996). The annual average dust concentration is lower than the provincial recommended level. It is shown by the monitoring results (see Table 11) that the key pollutants in the air are PM 10 and dust, which account for 88% in the total pollutants. The air quality also shows a temporal variation with higher pollutant concentrations in winter and spring. Table 7: Monitoring results of air quality (annual average, unit: mg/m3) Monitoring points SO 2 NO 2 PM 10 Dust (t/km 2 /m) Workers’ sanatorium 0.034 0.036 0.069 9.65 No.2 WTP 0.047 0.052 0.079 12.50 Department Store 0.021 0.039 0.062 13.00 Although Bengbu is not within the controlled area for acidic rain, the situation is getting worse in view of increasing frequency and decreasing pH value of acidic rain taking place in this area (as shown in Table 12). Table 8: Statistics of acidic rain in Bengbu (2000-2005) Year Occurrence frequency (%) pH range Average pH value 2000 6.0 4.91~7.60 6.16 2001 5.0 4.85~8.30 6.14 2002 15.4 4.28~7.53 5.46 2003 17.8 4.23~7.83 6.29 2004 17.9 3.42~7.91 6.21 2005 59.5 3.46~7.74 5.39 4.7 Surface Water As is known, Huai River is one of the most polluted rivers in China, and despite considerable government efforts (including participation of the World Bank on the Huai River Pollution Control Project), it has proven to be one of the most difficult to clean up. According to the historic monitoring results 2 , although the government has made significant investments on the pollution control of Huai River, the water quality of Huai River for Bengbu section does not meet the Class III water quality target 3 in the last seven years. This is especially during 2 Environmental quality yearly report of Bengbu Municipality, www. Bbepb.gov.cn. 3 Required by Huai River water functional zoning and “Pollution control plan for the eastern line of North-South Transfer Project”.

According to the surface water monitoring data of 2006 (see Table 6 and Figure 7), only the monthly average concentration of NH3-N is a little beyond the Class III requirements.

According to the current research data, the ancient river course zone at south of Huai River since Cenozoic Era is growing, coarse and fine grains of loose sediment are distributed alternately as layers from top to bottom; beside this characteristic, the grains of sediment in horizontal direction get thicker from south to north. The exploitable groundwater is concentrated in the fine sand or middle fine sand layers which the buried depth is more than 20m, especially in ancient river course area. The groundwater which can be explored in the future is in Caolaoji. The groundwater resources are deficient at south of Huai River, the groundwater is mainly stored in the apertures of Weathered Bedrock and tectonic cracks, the module of Page 52 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 52/335 groundwater yield is less than 50,000m3/a km2. The water richness of groundwater is poor and it isn’t well distributed, so the centralized exploitation is inappropriate. Since the shallow groundwater accepts directly the rainfall and seasonal and local surface water supply, the pollution is serious, the water quality of groundwater is bad, in Xiaobengbu, Wuxiaojie and north of Changhuai Town, especially near the pollution discharging and accepting sites (canals, ponds, ditches, and pools), the water quality can’t reach the Class standard. Deep-layer groundwater means the confined water of which the buried depth is more than 20m, the water quality is good. Groundwater in bedrock is distributed at south of Huai River, the water quality is good, it’s the good drinking water. Monitoring of groundwater quality has been undertaken by the municipal EPB for the whole municipality, which shows the water quality around Class IV from 2000 to 2005, as shown in the following table. Table 11: Groundwater quality 2000 2002 2003 2004 2005 Water quality classification IV IV IV IV III-IV Non-compliant parameters Coliform, NO 2 -N, NH 3 - N, As Coliform, NH 3 -N, NO 2 - N, As NH 3 -N, NO 2 -N Total hardness, NH 3 -N / 4.9 Water Supply Huaihe River crosses Bengbu and serves as the major source for industrial and domestic water in Bengbu city and water for farmland and vegetable garden in its suburbs. The main water intake is at the upstream of Bengbu Gate on the Huai River, which is supplemented by groundwater supply for some industries in the urban area, the groundwater supply for Huaishang District, and the emergency water supply source of Tianhe Lake. The tap water for the city is supplied by the Water Supply Company and some enterprises withdraw underground water and Huaihe River water as their self-provided source. The city has built three tap water works, all of which take water from Huaihe River. The designed water supply capacity totals 500,000 t/d of which 50,000 t/d from No.1 Water Works, 50,000 t/d from No.2 Water Work and 400,000 t/d from No.3 Water Works. The intake of No. 1 and No.2 Water Works is located below the Bengbu Sluice and the water pumped is the untreated urban sewage and so water pollution is serious. In 1981 Ganglianghe Diversion Project with a design capacity of 80,000 t/d was completed. When the Bengbu Sluice is closed, No. 1 and No.2 Works have to divert water above Bengbu Sluice but water quality is still not guaranteed. Currently, both No. 1 and No.2 Works have stopped water supply and No. 2 Works is now supplying the production enterprises of Fengyuan Group. No.3 Water Works is located on the south bank of the Huaihe River at the eastern foot of Mount Heihu in the western suburbs of Bengbu city. The water pump house is located at about 200m to the upper reaches of the Bengbu Sluice and in 1987 the first-phase water supply works of 100,000 t/d was completed and in 1990, 1995 and 1998 the second-, third- and fourth-phase works were completed successively with a total water supply of 400,000 t/d. Now water supply in Bengbu depends on No.3 Water Works mainly. In 1995, serious and unexpected water pollution occurred in the Huaihe River, which affected the water quality of the three water works. The Bengbu Municipal Government decided to divert water from Tianhe River as the emergency supplementary water source for the three Page 53 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 53/335 water works. The project was built up in 1996 and the pump house had a design capacity of 150,000 t/d and designed supply period would last for three months or so. The analysis of the actual water supply data over the years in Bengbu shows the proportion of urban industrial water tends to drop while that of domestic water tends to rise year by year. Currently about 284.8km of distribution pipe network is laid in the urban district with a pipe diameter of D100-D1400. Apart from water supplied by the tap water works, some industrial and mining enterprises in Bengbu withdraw most of water from the Huaihe River and part from the underground source and Longzi Lake as their self-provided source. According to survey, the whole city has about 50 self-provided sources using small water supply equipment with a total water supply of 50,000t/d. Water quality at the water intake has been deteriorating since 1980’s with the occurrence of several water pollution accidents respectively in 1989, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2004. Especially during the dry season, the water quality of Huai River is too poor to meet the water supply requirements (generally considered to be Class III), due to the lack of dilution by sufficient flow. According to the water quality monthly reports of urban centralized drinking water sources in Anhui Province 4 (Jan.2006 to Feb. 2007), there are six non- compliant records for the water intake upstream of Bengbu Gate, mostly during January to March with NH 3 -N as the key pollutant (See Table 8 below). At this stage, the impact of these incidents on tap water quality is unavailable.

The existing drainage system in the urban area is summarized below. Table 14: Summary of Existing Drainage System in Bengbu Urban Area 4 http://www.aepb.gov.cn/index.asp Page 54 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 54/335 Located Area Detailed Scope Drainage System Old Urban Area East of Xijiagou Canal, south of Huai River, North of Tushan Rd., West of Hangzhen Rd. and Heihu Mount. Hongye Village Area East of Nanhu Rd., West of Longzi Lake, North of Lanling Road, and south of Shengli Rd. North of Donghai Ave. Combined System Area west of the ring dyke South of Donghai Ave. Longzi Lake Dis. Area east of Longzi Lake Area north of Huai River Huaishang Dis. Separate System 4.10.2 Existing Combined Drainage System and Storm Drainage System The existing combined system mainly covers the old urban area within the ring dyke and the industrial area west of the ring dyke and north of the Donghai Avenue. According to the statistic data, by the end of 2005, the total length of existing drainage pipes is 378 km, in which 329 km is the total length of the pipes of the combined system and the storm drainage pipes in the separate system. In addition, there are 13 storm drainage pumping stations, which pumps most of the storm water from the constructed area of Bengbu Municipality into the receiving water bodies such as Huai River, Longzi Lake, Xijiagou Canal and Baligou Canal. 4.10.3 Existing Sewage System Up to now Bengbu has one municipal WWTP in operation, that is, the No.1 (Xijiagou) WWTP. The construction of the No.2 (Yangtaizi) WWTP is about to be started, and the No.3 (Huaishang) WWTP is under construction. The sewage systems corresponding to the above WWTPs are also under construction, and the details are shown below. Page 55 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 55/335 Table 15: Current Progress of Existing Sewage Systems Name of the Sewage System Current Status of Wastewater Collection System Current Status of corresponding WWTP Xijiagou Wastewater Catchment Combined system: - Wastewater interceptors for West Shengli Road, Weisi Road, Tushan Road, Wuwan Road, west bank and east bank of Xijiagou Canal have been constructed, so that all the wastewater from the area of combined system in dry season could be collected and sent to the Xijiagou WWTP; Separate system: - West of Xijiagou Canal: Most pipes laid, the sewage lifting pumping station for HTZ has been completed and will be put into operation soon; - East of Xijiagou Canal: sewage pipes and lifting pumping station are under construction. It is expected that they could be completed by the end of 2007. Phase I (100,000m3/d) in operation; Phase II (100,000m3/d) completed, which will be put into operation soon. Yangtaizi Sewage System Combined system: - The sewage is now discharged into Huai River through the Qingnianjie Storm Drainage PS, Zhihuai Rd Storm Drainage PS and Longzihe Storm Drainage PS. Zhihuai Rd wastewater interceptor sewer and Changhuaiwei Rd trunk sewer are under construction, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2007, and by that time the dry-season flow from the combined system can be collected and sent to the Yangtaizi WWTP. Separate system: - West of Longzi Lake: Most pipes laid, the sewage pumping station for this area is in operation. Currently the wastewater from west of Longzi Lake is discharged into Longzi Lake through the Longzihe Storm Drainage PS. However, with the completion of the Changhuaiwei Rd trunk sewer, it will be collected by the Yangtaizi WWTP; - East of Longzi Lake: Part of the sewers and a sewage lifting PS are constructed. Currently the sewage from east of Longzi Lake is temporarily discharged into the Baojiagou Canal, and the wastewater is planned to connected with the Yangtaizi WWTP when it is completed. The design of the 200,000m3/d(by two phases) WWTP is completed, and the construction will start soon. 4.10.4 Existing Problems - The design criteria of existing drainage network in the old urban area is too low, the design return period is no more than 0.5 year, the runoff coefficient and pipe diameter is too small, which limit the storage capacity of the pipes and easily result in wate logging of the catchment; Page 56 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 56/335 - The drainage of some sub-catchments is not designed in accordance with the local topography, such as the west sub-catchment and the Nanshijia system; - The storage capacity of the inland rivers in the city is decreased due to the construction and random garbage dumping around the area; - The design criteria of some exiting storm drainage PSs, such as Nanshijia PS and Xinchuantang PS, are too low, and some storm drainage PSs are not well maintained; - The urban wastewater treatment and drainage system is incompleted, and the only existing WWTP is already under full-load operation; - With the rapid development of Bengbu Municipality, the wastewater quantity increases dramatically beyond the original planning; - The construction and management of urban drainage project is not concentrated, which greatly impacts the systematic and integrated development of drainage network; - The local operation and maintenance capability is not efficient; - The insufficient internal drainage management for constructed area results in the mixed discharge of sewage and storm water even in the area of separate system and the incompliant discharge from some industries. 4.11 Water Pollution Source 4.11.1 Major Industrial Polluters The wastewater from the urban area of Bengbu Municipality is mainly discharged into the Huai River through seven outfalls. The major industrial polluters are mainly distributed in the area to the south of the Huai River and the Bengbu Industrial Park in the west of Huaishang District to the north of the Huai River. According to the list of key polluters of 2006 provided by Bengbu Municipal EPB, there are totally 33 industrial key polluters, 13 in the urban area and 20 in the three suburban counties. Their total pollutant discharge accounts for 90% of the total industrial discharge from the industries in the municipality. The details are shown in the following table.

While from the position the enterprise situated, the enterprises holding the big share in the pollutant withdrawal are mostly concentrated in the urban district (south of the Huaihe River), in which industrial enterprise in Yuhui District are the majority. From the enterprise wastewater withdrawal, the industrial wastewater re mainly from BBCA Biochemical Co., Ltd. and Bayi Chemical Co., Ltd.. From the enterprise pollutant density discharged, the chemical enterprises are the main sources of pollution. In addition, it can also be seen the wastewater withdrawal from No.1 Wastewater Treatment Plant is largest, but its wastewater density and the pollutant withdrawal are actually relative low, which indicated that the function of the wastewater treatment plant is remarkable in reducing the total pollutant quantity. 4.11.2 Pollution enterprise situation in the construction place “City environment infrastructure improvement project” includes primarily newly built, reconstruction draining water pipe network project, and it also includes the sewage promotion pumping station projects. The constructed the pipe networks in the project are mainly the existing sewage pipe network connection pipeline and the sewage pumping station wastewater collection pipeline. The completion of the project will enormously enhance the city sewage collection rate in the network and also provide the water volume safeguard for the full loading and operation of the wastewater treatment plant. The regions involved in the pipe network engineering construction are the old city area, the economic development zone, the high and new zone and the Longzi Lake District. The industrial enterprise wastewater in the region will also enter the sewage treatment plant through this project pipe network, therefore it will be especially important for the quality characteristic of the industrial enterprise wastewater in the water scope received. When the industrial enterprise wastewater containing toxic and hazardous substances enters the sewage treatment plant, it may cause certain influence on the sewage treatment plant normal operation. Therefore the environmental impact assessment investigated the main industry pollution sources in the water receiving scope of this project, and made clear about its discharging water quality ingredient, the density and the toxicity in order to have the choice in receiving the wastewater for the sewage treatment plant. The investigation result of the pollution enterprises in the construction place are shown in Table 4-4-3. Page 59 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 59/335 After investigation and screening of the enterprises, among 35 key enterprises, there are 9 enterprises able to gather its wastewater in the sewage collecting system and enter the wastewater treatment plant because of this project implementation. In the enterprises, 6 are in the urban district, 3 are in the Huaishang area. These enterprises are all equipped with the pretreatment facility at present and the production wastewater is treated and discharged into the water body after meeting the standards. After 6 enterprises in urban districts waste water treatment meeting level I in Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard, the waste water can discharge into Huaihe River through Xijiagou, Baligou, Longzi Lake and Baojiagou. In Huaishang Disrtrict 3 enterprises’ wastewater is discharged into Beifei River after meeting standard level II, and then is discharged into Huaihe River at the Mohekou. The investigation results showed that, in the above 9 enterprises, the waste water does not include toxic and hazardous material such as heavy metal etc., therefore the waste water comes into the sewage treatment plant after the pipe network collection will not to be able to have the destruction influence to the sewage treatment factory normal operation. The enterprise pollution discharge material provided from the environmental protection bureau, Bengbu altogether has 5 according to the heavy metal withdrawal sorting key pollution enterprise, distributes in the Longzi Lake District and the Yuhui District. In this project the pipe network of these enterprises haven’t been collected directly, but as a result of construction of the sewage main pipeline and branches, it has provided the convenience for various sewage branch engagement in the future. Therefore there is still possibility that the enterprise wastewater will be engaged after this project completes and will influence the normal operation of the wastewater treatment plant. For the two enterprises among them, the Weiye Heavy Industry and the Changhong Galvanize, their withdrawal of the wastewater and the heavy metal are both quite large. In addition, the factories are both located near the Bali Ditches in the Yuhui area. Therefore after the consummation of the pipe network construction, they may be connected to the water pipe collection network in the wastewater treatment plant. In order to avoid the adverse effect on the operation of the wastewater treatment plant, it is suggested in the environment impact assessment to treat the above enterprise wastewater separately and discharge the treated water when it meets the standards. It must not been dispersed into the wastewater treatment plant.

The annual industrial solid waste production in 2005 was 647,600t, in which 569,800t was reutilized with the reutilization rate of 87.98%, and 0.4100 t was properly disposed. The production of industrial hazardous waste in Bengbu is given as 0.36t (!) – however, there probably is a typing error in this data as, from crossed information, there is a plan to implement a 10 t/day industrial landfill in Bengbu, therefore the figure would more probably be 3600 t/year. According to the master plan, the hazardous waste would be properly disposed and reutilized, however DRA Consultant have no information on the way this done. According to the solid waste production from 2000 to 2006 shown in Table 10, both domestic and industrial solid waste shows an increasing trend, especially the industrial solid waste, which has increased by 80% from 2000 to 2005. Table 18: Solid waste production and disposal in Bengbu (2000-2005) Year 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Production of domestic waste (1000t) 174 226 240 240 260 270 382 Treated quantity of domestic solid waste (1000t) 0 0 0 0 0 0 213 Treatment rate of domestic solid waste (%) 0 0 0 0 0 0 55.8 Production of industrial solid waste (1000t) 358.3 400.9 428.0 428.0 421.7 647.6 NA Reutilized quantity of industrial solid waste (1000t) 287.5 360.4 316.2 316.2 349.4 569.8 NA Reutilization rate of industrial solid waste (%) 80.24 89.89 74.19 73.87 82.85 87.98 NA Treated quantity of industrial solid waste (t) 1400 500 2500 2500 2600 4100 NA Production of hazardous waste (t) (*) 0.14 0.16 0.25 0.25 0.26 0.36 NA (*) It is very likely that the figures in the Table last line are in 10,000 tons and not tons (to be confirmed) In March 2006, Phase I of Bengbu sanitary domestic solid waste landfill site was completed and put into operation with the treatment capacity of 600t/d, which could dispose most of the domestic solid waste production from Bengbu urban area, which was around 650t/d in 2006. Phase II of the solid waste landfill site is still under construction and expected to be completed by 2008 with the treatment capacity of 1000t/d. 4.13 Ecological Environment Ecological resources in Bengbu include aquatic and terrestrial ecological resources. Aquatic ecological resources are mainly in the rivers and lakes in Bengbu. The fishes include crucian carps, silver carps, carps and other fishes with low economic value.

Slow variation geological hazards are the main hazards. The main geological hazards in flood season are collapse, landslide, seepage, embankment break, which happen on the embankments of main course and branches of Huai River. The landslide and collapse are mainly along the railway, where the embankment is high. The main geological hazards in non-flood season are special rock and soil hazards, collapse of dangerous rocks in quarries. The special rock and soil hazards happen mostly in the areas along Huai River, including oozy soft clay, expansive soil and liquefaction of sandy soil, the basement composed by this kind of rock and soil will make dangers to buildings, hydraulic engineering, railway and road engineering.

The main elements that influence the atmospheric environment comprise floating dust, waste gas from fuel and odor from the sediment stack yard. The influence distance of the construction stackyard is 150m while that of road and floating dust is 35~40m. The odour emitted in pond desilting and transport of sediment will exert a great effect upon the environment. In this project dredging and excavation of ditches and ponds will give off a strong odour it will reach an intensity of Class II beyond 30 m with a slight odor, lower than the limit level of odor intensity Class 2.5-3.5 and largely odorless beyond 50 m. The effect on the acoustic environment is exerted by the construction machinery and vehicles to and fro. If the outgoing noise at the boundary of construction site meets the standard of Noise Limits for Construction Site, the diurnal average noise influence distance during the construction period is 100m, but it will reach 350m in the pile driving stage. The contaminated silt cleaned from the surface is carried to the sanitary landfill and filled there and the intermediate and bottom layer of the dredged silt can be utilized for afforestation and depression treatment. Before reutilization the sediment should undergo soil environmental and quality monitoring section by section. The building waste should be removed in time and the construction site should be cleaned when work is over. Stacking in situ is strictly prohibited. Page 81 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 81/335 The effect upon ecological environment is revealed in such aspects as land acquisition, soil erosion and influence on living things. 5.3.2 Operation Period 5.3.2.1 WTP Project In the operation period the main pollution source comprises solid wastes including sludge and domestic garbage , noise from the pump house and domestic sewage in the factory area. The main pollutants in the domestic sewage in the water purification plant cover SS, BOD5, ammonia nitrogen, phosphate, COD and animal and plant oil. The desilted sewage produced in the sedimentation tank and anti-flush sewage produced in the anti-flush filter are discharged into the newly-built sludge concentration tank in the factory area completely moisture content of 99% and the condensed sludge moisture content of 97% will be turned into sludge cake after dewatering through the press filter in the dewaterer room moisture content of 80% before shipment while the supernatant of the sludge and the filtrate in the dewaterer room are returned to the absorption well for mixed treatment with the source water. In the normal operation of the water purification plant no waste gas will be produced and only in abnormal condition will the chlorine cylinder leak. In the water purification plant mechanical noise will come from the blower room and pump house respectively. The noise source level is 80~90 dB(A). Solid waste mainly includes domestic garbage from workers and staff, production sludge and packing materials for dosing. 5.3.2.2 WWTP Project During the operation period of the sewage treatment plant the main pollution source comprises solid wastes including residual sludge, grille slags and sand , noise, domestic sewage in the factory area and odor. Wastewater includes tail water discharged from the sewage treatment plant and domestic water in the factory area. The latter is directly discharged into the admission pumping station. The odor emission facilities in the sewage treatment plant mainly cover the grille, admission pumping station, sand tank, bio-reaction tank, sludge concentration tank and sludge dewaterer room. In most cases unorganized emission is adopted. The characteristic odorous pollutants are H2S and NH3. The major noise source in the sewage treatment plant is the mechanical powe-operated equipment like pumps and blowers. Page 82 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 82/335 Of the solid waste, coarse grille slag, fine grille slag and sand are produced in a small quantity and the major solid waste is the mud cake, which is made of residual sludge discharged from the secondary settling tank after concentration and dewatering. 5.3.2.3 Roads After the roads in the Industry Park are open to traffic, the main pollution comes from the tail gas emitted from cars, noise made by the vehicles to and fro and pollution caused by storm runoff on the road surface. After the road is built, the main atmospheric pollutant is tail gas from cars, which is mainly composed of hydrocarbons, NOx and CO. The spread of pollutants produced by the tail gas in the air will affect the atomospheric environment along the road. Its scope of influence is also related to the wind velocity, direction, air pressure and stability in the area apart from the traffic volume. The effect of traffic noise is featured by linear pollution, continuity and phase and its scope of influence is related to traffic volume, current noise conditions and the standards of diurnal and nocturnal sound environment. The pollutant concentration and discharge volume in the road storm water have something to do with the flow and type of motor vehicles in travel, rainfall intensity, cycle, road quality and fuel property, which is difficult to estimate as a rule. By analogy it is known that the pollutant concentration in the road storm water will experience a change from high to low value and will be decreased progressively after reaching the maximum value in 0 15 minutes and incline to be steady one hour after the rainfall. 5.3.2.4 Storm Drainage Pumping Stations In this project the solid waste is divided into two parts, namely, production waste and domestic garbage from workers and staff. In the operation of storm drainage station a given quantity of waste residue will be generated as pollutant grille and cleaning device are mounted at the admission inlet to intercept leaves, branches, waterweeds, fiber, rubber, plastics and other solid floatage in the current.

Table 29: Statistics of Monitored Data on Air Quality in Bengbu in 2005 Unit:mg/m 3 Mornitoring Item Mornitoring Site Worker‘s Sanatorium Department Store No.2 Water Works Average of the City Scope of monitored value 0.022 0.045 0.013 0.029 0.027 0.062 0.023 0.042 Excess standard rate % 0 0 0 0 Sulfur dioxide Class II Standard Value Annual mean 0.06 Annual mean 0.034 0.021 0.047 0.034 Nitrogen dioxide Class II Scope of monitored value 0.029 0.043 0.029 0.061 0.043 0.062 0.036 0.052 Page 84 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 84/335 Excess standard rate % 0 0 0 0 Standard Annual mean 0.08 Annual mean 0.036 0.040 0.052 0.043 Scope of monitored value 0.054 0.082 0.052 0.067 0.058 0.089 0.055 0.079 Excess standard rate % 1.6 0.6 2.8 1.6 Inhaleable particles Class II Standard Annual mean 0.10 Annual mean 0.069 0.062 0.079 0.070 Table 30: Statistics of Comprehensive Pollutant Indicators of Major Pollutants at Each Monitoring Site in 2005 Worker‘s Sanatorium Department Store No.2 Water Works Site Item Pollution Load Sub-index Pollution Load Factor Pollution Load Sub-index Pollution Load Factor Pollution Load Sub-index Pollution Load Factor Sulfur dioxide 0.57 0.33 0.35 0.24 0.78 0.36 Nitrogen dioxide 0.45 0.26 0.50 0.34 0.62 0.28 Inhaleable particles 0.69 0.40 0.62 0.42 0.79 0.36 Comprehensive Pollutant Indicators 1.71 1.47 2.19 It can be seen from the above table that the annual mean of air quality in Bengbu city has met the standard for Class II in the Ambient Air Quality Standard, of which sulfur dioxide has not exceeded the standard, but nitrogen dioxide and inhaleable particles have exceeded the standard, especially the inhaleable particles have exceeded the standard greatly and concentrated in the fourth quarter, which is somewhat related to the dust precipitation intensity and heating by firing coal in winter in Bengbu area. Of the air quality indicators nitrogen dioxide exceeded the standard to a less extent, but the stipulated standard has been exceeded all the year round, indicating the tail gas pollution from the traffic has become a glaring problem day by day and it is necessary to intensify management and control over the pollution by road traffic and tail gas. 6.1.1.2 Historical Monitoring Data For Tianhe Lake For the routine air quality monitoring around Tianhe there are two sites, one is near Laoguanxu at Heihu Mount and the other is in the Tianhe Fishery. The indicators cover TSP, PM10, SO2 and NO2. Page 85 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 85/335 Current situation of air quality on the construction site is evaluated by the single factor index method. i i i S C p / = Where Ci——Daily or annual mean concentration of a given pollutant Si—— Daily or annual mean concentration standard of a given pollutant Pi——Sub-index of a given pollutant For monitoring results and assessment, refer to the following table. Table 31: Air Quality Monitoring and Assessment around Tianhe in 2005 Unit mg/m3 Laoguanxu at Heihu Mount Tianhe Fishery Item Scope of monitored value Daily mean Single factor index P i Scope of monitored value Daily mean Single factor index P i (GB3095-1996) Class II, daily mean SO 2 0.005~0.095 0.017 0.11 0.005~0.054 0.010 0.07 0.15 NO 2 0.005~0.098 0.035 0.29 0.011~0.094 0.043 0.36 0.12 PM 10 0.044~0.217 0.121 0.81 0.034~0.087 0.053 0.35 0.15 TSP 0.099~0.404 0.241 0.80 0.069~0.122 0.081 0.27 0.30 It can be seen from the above statistics that air quality in Tianhe area and its northern hilly land is good and can meet the standard for Class II set out in GB3095-1996----Ambient Air Quality Standard, of which air quality around Tianhe is more superior to that in Heihu Mount area, which mainly benefits from the dust precipitation in the Tianhe water area The atomospheric pollution indicators near Heihu Mount are based on PM10 and TSP primarily, indicating air quality in the area is affected by the floating dust seriously, which is closely related to the bared rock, thinned vegetation and soil erosion due to quarrying in the Heihu Mount. 6.1.2 Monitoring Data of Three Counties As no routine air monitoring points are available in the three counties of Huaiyuan, Guzhen and Wuhe, historical monitored data provided by the local environmental protection bureau are used in this environmental evaluation. 6.1.2.1 Wuhe County Page 86 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 86/335 1 Establishment of monitoring sites The prevailing wind direction in Bengbu all the year round is the north-east wind by east. In this evaluation three air sampling and monitoring sites are to be set up in line with the zoning of regional environmental functions, meteorological conditions and Class of air quality assessment for the construction project. 2 Monitoring items TSP, SO2 and NO2 are the items to be monitored in this evaluation. 3 Monitoring frequency and method From June 26 to 30, 2006, Bengbu City Environmental Monitoring Station conducted air quality monitoring in the locality for five days running and simultaneously monitored meteoroloigical parameters. Of these SO2 and NO2 were sampled for not less than 18 hours each day and TSP was sampled for not less than 12 hours each day. The atmospheric sampling method followed the Technical Specifications of Environmental Monitoring Part of Atmosphere For meteorological paramenters under atmospheric monitoring, refer to the table below.

The Fecal coliform and E. coli for Xintie bridge and Mohe river mouth sections exceeded the standard by 8.77~9.03 folds. Ammonia nitrogen for the Xintie Bridge and Mohe River mouth sections exceeded the standard slightly by 0.05 fold. The annual mean of other indicators can meet the requirements for Class III in the Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB3838- 2002). 6.2.2.2 Tianhe River The routine monitored data on the water quality in the Tianhe River in 2006 provided by Bengbu City Environmental Monitoring Station are shown in the table below.

Table 57: Monitored Value of Urban Noise Pollution in 2006 Unit: dB(A) Area Scope of monitored value Mean Huaishang District 50.7 66.7 53.4 High-Tech Industry Zone 50.2 71.7 57.7 Longzihu District 43.6 68.3 55.4 Yuhui District 51.3 67.1 58.0 Bengshan District 50.7 67.3 60.5 It is clear from the table that the mean of noise pollution in Bengbu can basically meet the acoustic environment standard for Grade II, but the existing noise pollution exceeded the standard significantly, especially the noise pollution on both sides of the road exceeded the standard more significantly. Huaishang district and Longzihu district under the jurisdiction of the city had relatively good acoustic environment Bengshan district had noise pollution exceeding the standard significantly as it is an old urban area with dense population, narrow streets and heavy traffic. In the New & Hi-tech Park noise pollution differs much: the non- built district has low-level noise pollution while the main road experiences serious noise pollution. 6.4.1.2 Road traffic noise Below is the monitoring result of road traffic noise pollution in the urban area of Bengbu. Page 102 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 102/335 Table 58: Monitored data on road traffic noise pollution in 2006 in Bengbu Unit: dB(A) Serial No. Description Section length m Section width, m Traffic volume vehicle/h Noise level, dB(A) 1 Jiefang 2 Rd. 1800 28 983 71.9 2 Huaihe Rd. 4420 28 1441 71.3 3 Zhihuai Rd. 4400 33 1252 70.2 4 Gongnong Rd. 5120 30 1606 69.3 5 Chaoyang Rd. 6512 45 1203 69.2 6 Fengyang Rd. 5270 33 1154 68.9 7 Tushan Rd. 9540 45 1132 68.3 8 Jiefang Rd. 8405 42 812 67.9 9 Shengli Rd. 21890 40 1026 66.8 10 Hanghua Rd. 1000 25 309 66.2 11 Yanshan Rd. 8550 45 428 66.0 12 Hongye Rd. 2840 30 583 65.9 13 Donghai Ave. 21270 58 964 65.8 14 Yan’an Rd. 6382 35 1249 65.5 15 Huaguang Ave. 3700 50 724 65.4 16 Daqing Rd. 4976 45 902 61.3 From the monitoring results of road traffic noise pollution it is evident that roads located in the old urban area including Jiefang 2 Rd., Huaihe Rd., Zhihuai Rd., Gongnong Rd., Chaoyang Rd., Fengyang Rd. and Tushan Rd. experience serious noise pollution because fo heavey traffic. The newly-built roads including Donghai Ave., Huaguang Ave., Daqing Rd. and Yanshan Rd. with broad red line more than 45m have low-level noise pollution due to light traffic. Of the roads with the red line greater than 45m, only Tushan Rd. and Chaoyang Rd. witness heavy traffic and have a relatively-high level noise pollution because of crossing the main urban area. No doubt road traffic noise is closely related to the traffic volume. 6.4.2 Three Counties As this project construction site financed by the World Bank loan is spread all over the urban districts of Bengbu and the three counties, the work is scattered and in order to get a full understanding of the status quo of the acoustic environmental quality, each sub-item has carried out special monitoring of the acoustic environment at the construction site.

Day time Jan. 30, 2007 06 00~22 00 Night time Jan. 30, 2007 22 00~06 00 3 Monitoring frequency and method Monitoring method The provisions stipulated in GB/T 14623 Measuring Method of Environmental Noise of Urban Area and GB12349-90 Method of Measuring Noise at Boundary of Industrial Enterprises should be implemented. The measuring device is AWA6218B sound- level meter with precision of Class II and above and its perforamance should comply with the provisions in GB/3878-83 Method of Measuring of Electro-acoustic Performance of Sound- level Meter. The device should be calibrated before and after measurement, in which the microphone should be equipped with a hurricane globe. 4 Monitoring results and analysis For monitoring results refer to the table below. Table 66: Monitoring Results of Urban Noise Pollution in Mohekou Industry Zone Equivalent sound level Leq[dB(A)] Site Day time Night time Standard to be followed (1) Wuhe Sanpu Middle School 44.9 41.8 (2) Wuhe Mohekou Middle School 47.4 39.4 (3) Wuhe Sanpu Canal Storm Drainage Pumping Station 45.4 41.6 Grade II, GB3096-93 Day time, 60dB(A), Night time, 50dB(A) (4) Open space on the industrial avenue in Wuhe Industry Zone 46.1 38.1 Grade III, GB3096-93 Day time, 65dB(A),Night time, 55dB(A) Based on the above table, it can be seen that the noise pollution value at each site meets the corresponding requirements set out in the Measuring Method of Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB3096-93). 6.5 Sediment Quality As no routine monitored data on sediment and soil in Bengbu city are available, in this evaluation special monitoring of sediment is carried out more extensively in the urban districts of Bengbu and suburban counties. The main task is to make selections and fix up points for desilting and dredging of lakes, ponds, ditches and canals involved in the proposed construction projects. The aim is to keep them as the background monitored data on Page 111 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 111/335 sediment and also know the composition and property of the sediment to be cleared for selection of a proper way of silt disposal. The north lake of Longzi Lake was desilted in 2005, leaving some historical background monitored data on the sediment in Longzi Lake. On this basis some monitoring points for sediment are added up to carry out the background environmental monitoring of sediment in the Longzihu sub-item. 6.5.1 Tianhe Project To obtain an elementary knowledge of the environmental quality of soil around Tianhe River and sediment in Tianhe River, in this environmental evaluation the Bengbu Environmental Monitoring Station is entrusted to carry out special monitoring of the soil and sediment around Tianhe River. The monitoring points are set up at the Tianhe sediment point and coastal soil point near the intake of the emergency water source in Qinji town respectively and for the monitoring results, refer to the table below. Table 67: Monitoring Results of the Sediment and Coastal Soil in Tianhe River Unit: mg/kg (organic matter, %) Indicator Organic matter Phosphate Nitrogen Arsenic Lead Mercury Chromium Sediment in Tianhe River 0.92 3.74 18.86 12.52 37.10 0.003 37.1 Soil in the farmland around Tianhe river 2.93 9.12 34.90 10.90 44.80 0.018 82.30 Paddy Field Of Grade II, GB15618-1995 — — — 25 300 0.50 300 GB4284-84 pH 6.5 — — — 75 1000 15 1000 Background value of soil in Anhui province — — — 8.5 26.0 0.029 67.0 The evaluation standards of the soil and sediment in the project site to be followed cover the limit for Grade II paddy field in the Standard of Soil Environmental Quality GB15618- 1995 and maximum permissible content of neutral and alkaline soil in the Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use GB4284-84. Simultaneously an integrated evaluation of the soil and sediment quality in Tianhe area is made by comparing and analyzing the background soil value in Anhui province. Page 112 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 112/335 In the table below are also shown the Standard of Soil Environmental Quality, Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use and background soil value in Anhui province. It is clear from the table that no heavy metal content in the sediment of Tianhe River has exceeded the limit for Grade II paddy field in the Standard of Soil Environmental Quality and the limit in the Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use Compared with the background soil value in Anhui province, only the arsenic and lead content is slightly higher, about 1.5 times that in the background soil value in Anhui province and is basically close to it. The organic matter content in the sediment of Tianhe River and its surrounding farmland soil stands at 0.29% and 2.93% respectively. In line with the identification indicator evaluation of soil fertility soil with organic matter content of about 3% is rated as moderate and superior fertility and less than 1% as inferior fertility , the sediment in Tianhe River is inferior in fertility while the soil in the farmland superior in fertility, which has something to do with fertilization in farming. The table below shows the calculation results of ecological risk factors and indices for the sediment in Tianhe River and its surrounding farmland soil. Table 68: Ecological Risk Factors and Indices of Heavy Metals in the Sediment in Tianhe River and its Surrounding Farmland Soil Sediment in Tianhe River Farmland Soil Site Item As Pb Hg Cr As Pb Hg Cr i f C 1.47 1.43 0.10 0.55 1.28 1.72 0.62 1.23 i f T 10 5 40 2 10 5 40 2 i f E 14.7 7.2 4.0 1.1 12.8 8.6 24.8 2.5 RI 27.0 48.7 The calculation results of the ecological risk factors and indices of heavy metal in the table above show both the risk factors and indices of the sediment in Tianhe River and soil are lower than 40 and 150 respectively, indicating the sediment in Tianhe River and soil will inflict slight ecological harm and won’t endanger the growth of artificial wetland and land vegetation significantly. 6.5.2 Longzi Lake project According to survey, the bottom mud in the Longzi Lake dredged area can be divided into three layers, the first is the contaminated layer A , the second is the transitional layer B and the third is the normal lake sedimentary formation C and the features of each layer are shown in the table below. Horizontally in terms of sedimentary thickness of the Page 113 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 113/335 contaminated layer in the Longzi Lake, the South Lake Area is significantly greater than the North Lake Area as it boasts a thick layer of contaminated bottom mud. Table 69: Vertical distribution of bottom mud in Longzi Lake Dredged layer Soil Site decription Contaminated layer Layer thickness of 0.10~1.1m, 0.5m on average, mud surface top elevation of 15.0~15.6m, black and grey-black, fluid~soft plastic, a lot of organic matter mixed with bush and tree and clam shell on the top of silt and silt clay, sand grain in some part.

In terms of chromium distribution, chromium concentration of the bottom mud in the North Lake area is significantly higher than that in the South Lake area, which may be attributed to the industrial sewage discharged by some electronic components manufacturers in the North Lake area. In line with the identification indicator evaluation of soil fertility, soil with an organic matter content of ~3% is rated as moderate and superior fertility and that with less than 1% as inferior fertility. For the bottom mud in Longzi Lake, those in the southwest and south of Longzi Lake are rated as inferior fertility and those at other sites as moderate or superior fertility. The following table shows the background soil value in each province and municipality all over the country listed in the Principles and Methods of Environmental Impact Assessment Technology published by the SEPA. From the table it is known that Cd, Cr and Pb in the contaminated layer of bottom mud in Longzi Lake are about three to five times the background soil value in Anhui province and other indicators stay at the same level basically.

In the contaminated layer of bottom mud in the South Lake Area of Longzi Lake, Hg will inflic moderate ecological harm and Cd great harm. Other metals will inflict slight ecological harm. As a whole, RI of the contaminated layer of bottom mud in the South and North Lake Areas is very close to each other and will inflict moderate ecological harm. If this part of bottom mud is used for afforestation and landscaping after becoming dried in the stack yard, no adverse effect will be produced upon the vegetation. 6.5.3 Xijiagou and Baligou g Monitoring method The evaluator entrusted Bengbu City Environmental Monitoring Station with sampling and monitoring of the bottom mud in Baligou and Xijiagou. The monitoring sites are located under 1# the intersection bridge between Baligou and Donghai Avenue and 2# the intersection bridge between Xijiagou and Yangshan Rd. For chemical analysis, the selective pairing and analytical methods in GB15618-1995 Standard of Soil Environmental Quality should be adopted. g Sampling time January 31, 2007 g Monitoring results and analysis For monitoring results, refer to the following table.

Compared with the background soil value in Anhui province, other indicators except chromium have exceeded the same. In line with the identification indicator evaluation of soil fertility, soil with an organic matter content of about 3% is rated as moderate and superior fertility and less than 1% as inferior fertility. The bottom mud in Xijiagou is over two times as fertile as moderate and superior fertility and the bottom mud in Baligou is close to moderate fertility. The table below shows the calculation results of ecological risk factors and indices of dredged bottom mud.

In line with the division of ecological risk factors and indices in Table 5-11-3, the mercury in the bottom mud at sites of 1 and 2 will inflict great and very great ecological harm. As a whole, RI of bottom mud at sites of 1 and 2 is greater than 150, indicating the bottom mud in the pond on the north side of Neilu bridge, Niushixiang, Chengguan town and the west side of the EW ditch of No. 1 Middle School (two dots stand for river course and ditch and pond in the urban area will inflict moderate ecological harm. But RI of bottom mud at sites of 3 is less than 150, indicating the bottom mud near Wangsiweizi of the boundary ditch for suburban river course will inflict slight ecological harm. Accordingly it is suggested that bottom mud in the pond on the north side of Neilu bridge, Niushixiang, Chengguan town and the EW ditch of No. 1 Middle School not be used as the soil for farm crops that are directly taken as food by the people. 6.5.5 Huaiyuan County g Sampling principal With respect to the storage pond for this project, two ponds are built, one is Camel Ridge Pond and the other is TCMH Pond. As water in these two ponds comes from the mountains and the surroundings are similar, the bottom mud in Camel Ridge Pond is sampled. As the four flood discharge ditches have similar surroundings, the flood discharge ditch of Jinshanlu is selected as the detection sample.

Mercury is the sole metallic element existing in a liquid state at room temperature. The commonly-seen mercury pollution source is the industrial sewage from enterprises of chemicals, instruments, pesticides containing mercury, metallurgy, bulb, chloro-alkaline industry and electronics. The existing industry in Mohekou town is mainly distributed in the town area dispersely, which involves in grain processing, resin, building materials and battery. The high mercury content in the rivercourse bottom mud in the area may be attributed to the industrial sewage discharged by enterprises nearby.

Of these, five are located on the south bank and eleven on the north bank of Huaihe River as shown in the following table. Table 83: Schedule of storm drainage pumping stations to be built and extended No. Description Location Service area 1 Xinchuantang Storm Drainage Pumping Station 2 Zhihuailu Storm Drainage Pumping Station 3 Nanshijia Storm Drainage Pumping Station Urban district On the south bank of Huaihe River, area east of Xijiagou 4 Tianhe Storm Drainage Pumping Station Yuhui District On the south bank of Huaihe River, area west of Baligou 5 Longzihu Storm Drainage Pumping Station Longzihu District On the south bank of Huaihe River, part to the east and west of Longzi Lake 6 Beifeihe Storm Drainage Station 7 Xiaobengbu Storm Drainage Station 8 Wangxiaogou Storm Drainage Station Huaishang District On the north bank of Huaihe River, part to the south of Beifei River in Huaishang District Page 124 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 124/335 9 Sanpuhu Storm Drainage Pumping Station Mohekou On the north bank of Huaihe River, Mohekou Town and Sanpu Lake Area 10 Lizuizi Storm Drainage Pumping Station 11 Xinzhuangzi Storm Drainage Pumping Station Huaiyuan County On the north and west banks of Huaihe River, Chengguan town, Huaiyuan County and adjacent area 12 Guxi Storm Drainage Pumping Station 13 Xiwei Storm Drainage Pumping Station 14 Qizhuang Storm Drainage Pumping Station 15 Dalou Storm Drainage Pumping Station 16 Xiaolou Storm Drainage Pumping Station 17 Chengnan Storm Drainage Pumping Station Guzhen Chengguan Town Southwest suburbs On the east bank of Huihe River, Chengguan Town and its peripheral area From the distribution of storm drainage pumping stations in this construction project, it is evident that after completion of the 17 storm drainage pumping stations, the ability to manage flood and drain storm water in Bengbu urban district, Guzhen, Chengguang town of Huaiyuan and Mohekou area of Wuhe will be enhanced markedly so that the safety of urban districts on both banks of Huaihe river and agricultural production in the neighboring suburbs and counties will be ensured effectively. The construction of storm drainage pumping stations in each part will effectively upgrade the flood management standard and water level in their service area. The residents, enterprises, villages and farmland within the service area will no longer suffer from flood frequently in the flood season and the safety of people’s lives and property will be guaranteed and industrial and agricultural development and economic benefits in the project construction area will be safeguarded to some extent. 2 Dredging project z\03 Desilting project of Longzi Lake After the south lake of Longzi Lake is dredged, its positive effect upon the environment will be revealed in three aspects, namely, improvement of water quality in Longzi Lake, ecological improvement of Longzi Lake and its perimeter and landscape benefit. After the sewage around Longzi Lake is intercepted and the sewage treatment plant is built, the nutrient enrichments in the lake bottom mud will become the primary pollution source in the water environment of Longzi Lake and a leading factor of the lake eutrophication. The Page 125 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 125/335 construction of this project can eliminate the widespread pollution by the contaminated bottom mud of Longzi Lake and increase the effective storage capacity of the lake body and self-cleaning ability of the lake while improving its water quality. At the same time with elimination of toxic and harmful substances in the bottom mud, the hydrophytic habitat will be further improved and the growth and reproduction of aquatic life will be promoted. After desilting of Longzi Lake, with afforestation along the bank and restoration of vegetation for surrounding mountain bodies, the ecological environment around the construction site will be improved considerably. Moreover, on the east and west banks of Longzi Lake, typical landscape with the lakeside characteristic will come into being and the overall image of the city will be upgraded. z\03 Desilting and dredging of Yinghe Section of Baligou and Xijiagou Baligou area features vast land and sparse population with serious widespread pollution because of farmland runoff and difficulty in sewage catchment Xijiaogou boasts numerous industrial enterprises in its perimeter with great amount of sewage. As a result the ditches and canals are polluted seriously, which has affected the surrounding ecological environment. After completion of this project, the ditch bottom mud that gives off a foul odor will be cleaned away, the water environment and surrounding eco-environment will be improved, the drainage capacity of ditches and canals will be increased, farmland nearby will be conserved and the added value of land will be raised, which will be conducive to the overall development of the area. z\03 I n Huaishang district on the north bank of Huaihe River, supportive work for the storm drainage station will be done, such as extended excavation of No.2 diversion ditch, dredging of a 40-meter canal and excavation and dredging of a diversion canal. After dredging, the drainage capacity of ditches and canals will be increased, the flood discharge passageway will pass unimpeded and the flood management and storm drainage functions of the pumping station will be brought into full play. z\03 T he Guzhen project involves two parts: dredging of the flood management ditch and dyke building, and dredging of the storm drainage ditch. The dredging of the flood management ditch involves the boundary ditch, railway canal, Wugu River, Liuyuandagou and maintenance squad ditch, and the storm drainage ditch includes Wangsiwei ditch, Wulijing ditch, drain ditch in the March the Eighth part, Suburban drain ditch and Xiaolou station diversion ditch. The dredging of the above ditches and construction of supportive storm drainage pumping stations will improve the flood management and storm drainage system in the Qizhuang part, Wangsiwei part, Guxi part, Sanbahe part, Dalou part and Xiaolou part in the area south of the Maintenance Squad ditch and east of Huihe River, including Chengguan Town, increase the ability of Chengguan town and its neighboring area to prevent flood and drain storm water significantly and conserve the farmland in the suburbs. It will also ease the effect of natural disasters and increase agricultural income. Page 126 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 126/335 The construction of urban sewage pipe network and cleaning and renovation of drainage ditches and canals will incorporate most of urban districts into the urban blowdown system, thereby increasing the collection rate of urban sewage and improving the construction of urban infrastructure. The installation of sewage closure pipeline will strengthen the efforts to conserve the drinking water source, reduce the risk and probability of water pollution in the withdrawal outlet of the urban water works to be built and create favorable conditions for improving the water quality of future urban water works and its normal operation. The dredging of the flood discharge ditch in Huaiyuan county is mainly designed to desilt the two ponds at TCMH and Camel Ridge and broaden and desilt the three flood discharge ditches in Langanqiao and one mountain foot flood discharge ditch in Xinzhuangzi. The completion of the project will form an effective drainage system at the foot of the west Jingshan Mount and ease the pouring water flow from the north Jingshan Mount and storm drainage pressure in the lower reaches Simultaneously with the dredging of the flood management ditch, increased capacity of ponds and improvement of flood discharge capacity, the risk of flood and water-logging disasters and economic losses will be reduced significantly. z\03 Dredging of Sanpu canal in Wuhe County Shanpuwa area enjoys a low-lying terrain and its storm drainage system is not systematic and complete. The Sanpu Lake depression covers an area of 51.0 km2 and in the area there are eight administrative villages of Mohekou Town with a population of 31,300 people and 63,300 mu of farmland. Sanpu Lake depression is an area of high yield in Wuhe county, which is susceptible to water-logging. Its grain output will fluctuate with the intensity of the flood and water-logging disasters. The construction of this project is conducive to the formation of Sanpu Lake flood prevention system, which will significantly increase the capability of Sanpu Lake area to prevent flood and drain storm water and be of great significance to protecting the villages and agricultural economy in the area. 7.1.1.2 Construction projects of drainage system 1 Urban drainage project It is divided into two parts: storm drainage system and sewage drainage system. The construction project of storm water drainage system includes transformation of storm pipe network in the old urban district and construction of a new storm pipe network in the New & Hi-tech Zone and Longzi Lake Park The sewage pipe network includes extension of sewage pipeline in Zhuizishan part of the old urban district, construction of the drainage system in Baligou part and Yanshan West part in the New & Hi-tech Zone as well as construction of new sewage pipeline in the urban southern part and new sewage pipe network in the Longzihu eastern part. The construction project of the urban drainage system will reap the following social benefits Page 127 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 127/335 The collection scope of urban drainage will be expanded and storm water and sewage will be separated. The decentralized drainage pipeline in the urban district will be interconnected, which will greatly increase the sewage collection rate of the urban drainage system, help reduce dispersed pollutant discharge outlets and facilitate sewage collection in the long-range plan and perfection of the treatment system. Better storm and sewage pipe network will be built up in a complete set in the New & Hi- tech Zone, Longzi Lake Industry Park and urban southern area, thereby forming a drainage system that separates storm water from sewage. This will lay a solid foundation of municipal infrastructure for the development of the new district and promote its economic development and intensify its efforts to invite investments. It will assist in forming the four major drainage systems in the urban district of Bengbu and will be of great significance to attaining the goal of sewage collection rate in the drainage plan and building the sewage treatment plant. It is the prerequisite to achieving the goal set out in the drainage plan and reaping environmental benefits from the sewage treatment project. 2 Drainage project in the suburban county z\03 The content of the drainage pipeline works for the Guzhen urban district is to install the main pipe for sewage collection in Chengguan town, which will cross Sanba River through the preformed pipe culvert and be discharged into Huihe River after joining Guzhen Sewage Treatment Plan downstream. Its main social benefits lie in creating favorable conditions for the construction of the sewage branch pipe in the urban district of Guzhen in the future and improvement of the sewage system. Besides, it has also laid a solid foundation for normal operation of Guzhen Sewage Treatment Plant. As to its environmental benefit, total pollutant reception volume in Sanba River will be reduced greatly by intercepting the urban sewage to be discharged into Sanba River, thereby improving the water environment. z\03 The main content of the construction project for storm water pipe network and road building in the grain and edible oil processing area of Huanyuan town and Chengguan town is to install infrastructure facilities in a complete set in the newly-built grain and edible oil processing area with the purpose of collecting storm water in the processing area effectively and increasing its ability to fight flood and drain storm water, thereby providing infrastructure and safety for the construction and investment promotion of the grain and edible oil processing area. The main content of the construction project for storm water pipe network and road building in the grain and edible oil processing area of Huanyuan town and Chengguan town is to install infrastructure facilities in a complete set in the newly-built grain and edible oil processing area with the purpose of collecting storm water in the processing area effectively and increasing its ability to fight flood and drain storm water, thereby providing infrastructure Page 128 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 128/335 and safety for the construction and investment promotion of the grain and edible oil processing area. 7.1.1.3 Construction of the Industry park The construction project for Mohekou Industry Park in Wuhe county mainly covers the surface water works and water distribution pipe network, sewage treatment plant and road building in the Industry Park. As a provincial development zone approved by Anhui provincial government, Mohekou Industry Park’s development goal is to be gradually built into a major industrial base of fine chemicals and a modern eco-type industry park in Anhui. But it is located in the Sanpuhu depression with undeveloped water conservancy works, frequent flood and water-logging disasters and poor municipal infrastructure and unshaped water supply and drainage and road system, which has restricted the development of the industry park. After completion of this project, the drainage system in the Park will be gradually improved and simultaneously with the construction of the storm drainage pumping station, the capability of the Park to prevent flood and drain storm water will be increased greatly, thereby safeguarding its construction and development and making it more capable to attract investments and provide basic physical equipment. The construction of the surface water works can not only provide the resident enterprises with good industrial water, but also supply drinking water of steady flow and good quality to the dwellers in Mohekou town Besides, its construction and water supply will also reduce the withdrawal volume of underground water by its surrounding area, thereby conserving underground water resources to some extent. The construction of the sewage treatment plant can not only collect and handle effectively the industrial sewage in the Park and domestic sewage from dwellers living in the Mohekou town and reduce total volume of sewage discharged into the Huaihe River from the Park to a minimum, thereby easing the pollution of Huaihe River and decreasing the risk of polluting Huaihe River by the industrial sewage from the Park. It can also create sound infrastructure conditions for the rapid and sustainable development of the Park, which is conducive to promoting the economic development of the Park. 7.1.1.4 Road Building Road building in this project is mainly concentrated on the following areas: 1 Road building in the economic development zone: 16-30m wide and 1611-4913m long. 2 Construction of a riverside avenue in Huaishang district and its branch road: red line of the riverside avenue is 20-30m wide and 11.9 km long three road bridges twenty-one urban branch roads in Huaishang District. Page 129 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 129/335 3 Road building in Mohekou Industry Park Roads in the Park under planning with a total area of 400,000m2. 4 Road building in Chengguan Town Grain & Edible Oil Processing Area in Huaiyuan Road redline is 15-38m wide and 1050-1850m long. 5 Guzhen bridge building and road building at top of dyke river bridge is 15-20m wide, 27 in all Road at top of dyke is 4.5-6.0m wide and 3-9 m long. Social benefit of road building is to improve the infrastructure in the construction location to facilitate travel by residents and transport of supplies, beautify urban landscape, upgrade overall image of urban district and promote business investments and development of the Park. 7.1.2 Economic Benefits 7.1.2.1 Disaster-reducing benefit of Tianhe Storm Drainage Station The economic benefit of water conservancy projects is mainly manifested in the disaster- reducing benefit after improvement of flood management and storm drainage ability. Below is an analysis of the disaster-reducing benefit exemplified by Tianhe Storm Drainage Pumping Station. Total investment of Tianhe Pumping Station amounts to 67.20 million yuan and the economic benefit after completion of the project is mainly exhibited in the improved ability to prevent flood and drain storm water for realization of disaster-reducing benefit. After completion of Tianhe Pumping Station, if flood occurs to Tianhe once in twenty years, 15000 mu of farmland and 35 villages fewer than those at present will be flooded. Compared with the flood in 2003, 45000 mu of farmland was flooded, 15000 mu of water surface for aquaculture suffered, flood ran into more than 20 villages and 21 pumping stations were flooded, which caused a direct economic loss of 32 million yuan. After completion of this project, the indirect economic benefit from decreased flooded area will come to 10 million yuan at least, accounting for ~14.9% of the investment in the project. If the Tianhe Pumping Station is not to be built, the economic loss due to the seven disastrous years will be equal to the investment cost of the station. In other words, the investment can be recovered in the seven disastrous years. 7.1.2.2 Economic benefit of Mohekou surface water works The construction investment in Mohekou Surface Water Works amounts to 64.50 million yuan and after its completion the daily water supply will come to 30,000 t/d and the supply covers residents in Mohekou town for drinking water and industrial enterprises in the Park for production water. According to the plan for 2010, Mohekou town will have a population of 35000 people with water consumption of 14600 t/d and industrial water consumption of 21400 t/d Based on the current price of tap water 1.35yuan/t for industrial water and Page 130 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 130/335 1.1yuan/t for drinking water the estimated benefit of the new Mohekou Surface Water Works will come to 14.2251 million yuan/a and after deduction of 657,000yuan/a for water resources charge payable by the Works, the actual benefit after completion of the project will amount to 13.568 million yuan/a, accounting for 21% of the construction investment. In other words, the charges collected in five years for water supply after completion of the project will be equal to the construction investment. Table 84: Estimated benefit from water supply by Mohekou Surface Water Works Type of water Consumption 10000t /d Price yuan/t Total charges for water supply, 10000 yuan /a Industrial water 2.14 1.35 1055 Domestic water 0.46 1.1 185 Other purpose 0.40 1.25* 182.5 Total 3 1422.5 Water resources charge 3 0.06 65.7 * Average price 7.1.2.3 Economic benefit of Mohekou Sewage Treatment Plant The construction investment in Mohekou Sewage Treatment Plant amounts to 123.00 million yuan and after its completion the daily handling capacity will come to 30,000 t/d and the service covers industrial enterprises in Mohekou town and the Park for industrial sewage. According to the plan for 2010, Mohekou town will have a population of 35000 people with water consumption of 4600 t/d and industrial water consumption of 21400 t/d Based on the pollution factor of 0.85 for the total consumption the sewage treatment capacity will come to 22100t/d. Based on the current sewage price (0.7yuan/t for industrial sewage and 0.6 yuan/t for domestic sewage), the estimated benefit of sewage disposal for the new Mohekou Sewage Treatment Plant will come to 7.235 million yuan each year, accounting for 5.9% of the construction investment. After deduction of operating cost, annual benefit will come to 1.535 million yuan, indicating the economic benefit is very low, which can only maintain normal operation as its environmental and social benefits are dominant. Table 85: Estimated operating benefits of Mohekou Sewage Treatment Plant Type of water Consumption 10000t /d Price yuan/t Total charges for water supply, 10000 yuan /a Industrial wastewater 1.82 0.7 465 Domestic sewage 0.34 0.6 74.5 Other wastewater 0.84 0.6 184 Page 131 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 131/335 Total 3 723.5 Operating cost of Sewage Plant 3 0.52 570 7.1.3 Environmental Benefits 7.1.3.1 Environmental Benefits of improved pipe network system In the improvement project of urban environmental infrastructure the sewage pipeline works is dispersed, but its function is to link up the disconnected sewage pipe network and form a complete sewage system, thereby increasing the network access rate of the sewage significantly. Especially the pipe network construction in the economic development zone and new & hi-tech zone will directly increase the sewage collection amount of Bengbu No. 1 Sewage Treatment Plant (Xijiagou). Among other things the Zhihuailu sewage lifting pumping station project has achieved the best water collection effect. When the pumping station and its supportive pipe network for the sewage collection area are put into operation, 30,000 t/d of urban sewage will be increased directly, which will be transmitted to the No. 1 Sewage Treatment Plant completely, thereby improving the low utilization of capacity of the sewage treatment plant. As the current, sewage handling capacity of No. 1 Sewage Treatment Plant reaches 130,000- 140,000 t/d only, there is still some way to go to the design capacity of 200,000 t/d. After completion of the pipe network and pumping station project, the pipe network within the sewage collection range of No. 1 Sewage Treatment Plant will be improved basically and about 50,000 t of sewage will be increased, which can raise the workload of No. 1 Sewage Treatment Plant to 180,000-190,000 t/d, achieving full-load operation in the main. 50,000 t of sewage will be collected into the network and discharged up to the standard after treatment in the Plant, which will cut down total pollutants discharged into Huaihe River markedly. After calculation, the actual reduction of pollutants is as follows: CODcr 3650 t/a. and ammonia nitrogen 730 t/a. No doubt the pipe network improvement project in the urban district has reaped significant environmental benefits. 7.1.3.2 Control of total volume for the urban drainage project The construction of the drainage system project in the urban district will raise the collection rate of sewage from the urban district and simultaneously with the construction of the sewage treatment plant, the urban sewage treatment rate will be increased significantly. As planned, by 2010 three sewage treatment plants will be built in the urban districts of Bengbu city. The construction of the pipe network for this project will reap its indirect environmental benefit after completion and operation of the supportive sewage treatment plant. Page 132 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 132/335 Table 86: Estimated annual volume of sewage discharge in the urban plan of Bengbu Change in total volume t/a Change in total volume t/a Evaluation Time Total sewage discharge 10,000 t/d Treated sewage volume 10,000 t/d Untreated volume 10,000 t/d COD ± % Ammonia nitrogen ± % 2005 29.5 10 19.5 20115 3713 49.4 10 39.4 37778 +87.8% 6654 +79.2% 49.4 20 29.4 30478 +51.5% 5194 +39.9% 2010 49.4 32.5 16.9 21353 +6.2% 3369 -9.3% From the data in the table it is clear that by 2010 with increased population and sustainable development of economy and gradual improvement of sewage closure pipeline, the sewage volume in the urban district of Bengbu will increase by 67.5% over 2005. The implementation of the urban drainage project will lead to a great quantity of sewage being discharged into Huaihe River via the pipe network. Without the supportive construction of the sewage treatment project, total volume of sewage will rise accordingly by a big margin. If by 2010 the current capacity of sewage treatment remains unchanged, namely, Xiajiagou Sewage Treatment Plant still has a handling capacity of 100,000 t /d, then the total discharge volume of COD will rise by 87.8% and ammonia nitrogen will rise by 79.2% over 2005 If by 2010 the first phase works of the supportive Yangtaizi and Hebei Sewage Treatment Plants are put into normal operation as scheduled, the discharge volume of COD will rise by 6.2% over 2005, basically close to the total discharge volume in 2005 and the discharge volume of ammonia nitrogen will decrease by 9.3% over 2005. It is evident that only when the construction project of urban drainage system is interconnected with the sewage treatment project can their role of pollution control be brought into play with actual environmental benefit. 7.1.3.3 Control of total volume for Mohekou Sewage Plant Total volume of industrial sewage in Mohekou Industry Park amounts to 30,000 t/d If each industrial enterprise handles sewage by itself, the emission standard is COD 100mg/L and ammonia nitrogen 15mg/L; If a sewage treatment plant is built, the industrial sewage in all the industrial enterprises in the Park will be discharged into the Plant after pretreatment and the emission standard is COD 50 mg/L and ammonia nitrogen 5 mg/L The change in total discharge volume based on this calculation before and after establishment of the Treatment Plant is shown in the following table: Table 87: Statistics of reduction in total volume of the sewage treatment plant in Mohekou Park Page 133 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 133/335 COD Ammonia nitrogen Item Category Sewage volume 10000 t/d Concentration mg/L Discharge t/a Concentration mg/L Discharge t/a Emission after the pretreatment meets Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard for Grade I 3 100 1095 15 164.25 Sewage discharge that meets the Standard after entering the Treatment Plant 3 50 547.5 5 54.75 Reduction percent in total volume, % -50% -66.7% It is clear that for Mohekou Park after the sewage from the enterprises in the Park undergoes centralized treatment in the new sewage treatment plant its emission will meet the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant for A, Grade I and the discharge volume will be reduced greatly, of which COD will be cut by 50% and ammonia by 66.7%. 7.1.3.4 Eco-environmental benefit from the vegetation restoration project The vegetation restoration project mainly focuses on the vegetation restoration for the damaged mountain body around Longzi Lake and Xijaigou side slope afforestation. Their eco- environmental benefit is manifested in the following aspects: 1 Revetment and vegetation restoration along the coast of Longzi Lake 1 In this project the side slope along Longzi Lake is renovated and remodeled by combining natural embankment with solid embankment, which can greatly raise the visual landscape benefit of Longzi Lake. At the same time with vegetation restoration in the south of South Lake and the north outlet to Huaihe River the area of greenbelt around Longzi Lake will be increased. Water birds are attracted to perch here, thereby increasing the natural landscape benefit of Longzi Lake. 2 In the renovation of the revetment along the bank, the type of embankment that suits the regional terrain, landform and environmental features will be adopted. As a result soil erosion due to bared earth on the side slope and collapse will be eased and simultaneously eco-stream exchange between water and land will be maintained so that sound perching environment may be provided for the growth and restoration of bio-community dwelling at the bank. 3 Vegetation restoration in the south of South Lake and the north outlet to Huaihe River will significantly increase the area of greenbelt around Longzi Lake and attract numerous Page 134 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 134/335 living things to perch and procreate here, which will play a great role in increasing local biomass and bio-diversity. At the same time plants in the wetland can also reduce the mud and sand carried to the lake area due to soil erosion in the perimeter of the Lake area. 4 Renovation of side slope around Longzi Lake can block the water from farmland surface runoff and reduce the discharge volume of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants in the agricultural sewage into the lake. 5 Vegetation is to be restored in the south lakeside area with an elevation of 17m to19m and north lake outlet to Huaihe River. In the south bank of Longzi Lake an eco-system will be set up in which the terrestrial habitat plant community will transit to the wet emerging plant and submerged plant community in the bank water body. After completion of the project, water from the upper reaches will be converged into Longzi Lake through coastal vegetation and discharge from Longzi Lake will also enter Huaihe River through the outlet to Huaihe River and the plants will purify the water body soundly. 6 Purification of water body by plants includes direct purification and indirect purification. By direct purification is meant direct elimination of pollutants in the sewage by plants through absorption, adsorption and enrichment. Indirect purification refers to the process in which plants can provide sound environment for elimination of other pollutants in the eco-system, such as supply of oxygen in the plant root zone, enhancement of hydraulic conduction and maintenance of aeration. Therefore the construction of this project will play a positive role in improving the water body eutrophication in Longzi Lake. 2 Dredging of Baligou and coastal afforestation project The completion of this project will coordinate with the improvement of the sewage treatment system in Bengbu city and the coastal sewage interception works. The sewage discharged into Huaihe River from Baligou and Xijiagou will be reduced remarkably and the current water environmental quality in the area will be improved significantly. As both Baligou and Xijiagou are the primary tributaries on the south bank of Huaihe River to which both lead directly, better water quality in them will play a positive role in improving the water quality of Huaihe River. Only when the water quality of tributaries on the way meets the standard, can the overall water quality of Huaihe River reach the Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water GB3838-2002 for Grade III. At present the eco-environment around Baligou and Xijiagou is poor. As no dredging has been done for many years, water quality in some river sections has deteriorated and aquatic plants and animals can hardly exist. Numerous pollutants are concentrated in the bottom silts of Baligou and Xijiagou river course. After dredging and broadening of Baligou and Xijiagou river course the contaminated bottom mud will be separated from the river course and internal pollution will be eliminated. In addition, after completion of the project the sewage will be intercepted in the Xijiagou and Baligou area to reduce external pollution. So the water environment in Baligou and Xijiagou will be improved significantly. In the water body of Baligou and Xijiagou river course, zooplankton and phytoplankton as well as bottom dwellers will come into being because of better water quality, forming an aquatic eco-system. The Page 135 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 135/335 bottom dwellers and microorganisms in water body will biodegrade and improve water quality and such an interaction will further give rise to a virtuous circle of aquatic eco-system. 7.2 Environmental Impacts during Project Construction 7.2.1 Analysis of air impact In the construction of this project the major air pollution source is dust, odor and tail gas emitted by construction machinery. 7.2.1.1 Analysis of dust impact Raised dust in construction is produced mainly in the following processes: 1 On the construction site, a large quantity of raised dust from stack soil is produced in mixing of concrete and stacking of bulk powdered materials on the uncovered ground. 2 A large quantity of raised dust is produced as the transport vehicles and construction machinery are traveling on the road because of friction between the wheel and road surface. 3 Drifting, scattering and raising of the earth loaded in vehicles and bulk building materials in transit, loading and unloading will increase the concentration of dust in the air. 4 In road building cleaning of road surface, stacking of sand and stone on the roadside and temporary occupancy of land will give rise to widespread pollution by raised dust. As a whole dust is a major air pollution source in construction. Following is a separate description of the impact of road and site dust upon the atmospheric environment. 1 Analysis of construction road dust The construction road dust is mainly concentrated in the access road and major transport road in the construction area for each project. The dust in the construction period can be divided into dusting by wind and dusting by power in terms of its cause, of which dusting by wind is mainly produced from the building materials sand and cement stacked in the open air and floating dust on the uncovered surface of the construction area in the dry weather and heavy wind while dusting by power is mainly produced from suspension of dust particles in the handling and mixing of building materials due to external force, of which the raised dust due to construction and loading and unloading vehicles is most disastrous. According to relevant literature, raised dust produced from running vehicles accounts for over 60% of total dust volume and can be calculated by the following empirical formula on the precondition of complete dryness: 75 . 0 85 . 0 ) 5 . 0 / ( ) 8 . 6 / )( 5 / ( 123 . 0 PW V Q = Where Q üü dust from running vehicles, kg/km vehicle Page 136 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 136/335 V üü speed, km/hr W üü load, t P üü dust volume on the road surface, kg/m2 Table 7-1-1 shows the dust volume of one 10-t truck that passes through one section road 1 km long on the precondition of different road cleaness and driving speed. It is known that if road cleanness remains unchanged, the faster the speed, the greater the dust volume will become while at the same speed the dirtier the road, the greater the dust volume will become. Therefore driving at speed limit and keeping the road clean is an effective means to reduce dust. Table 88: Car dust with different speed and road cleanness Unit kg/vehicle•km P Speed 0.1(kg/m 2 ) 0.2(kg/m 2 ) 0.3(kg/m 2 ) 0.4(kg/m 2 ) 0.5(kg/m 2 ) 1.0(kg/m 2 ) 5(km/hr) 0.051056 0.085865 0.116382 0.144408 0.170715 0.287108 10(km/hr) 0.102112 0.171731 0.232764 0.288815 0.341431 0.574216 15(km/hr) 0.153167 0.257596 0.349146 0.433223 0.512146 0.861323 25(km/hr) 0.255279 0.429326 0.58191 0.722038 0.853577 1.435539 Another main cause for dust in the construction period is dust raised by wind in the open stackyard and on the uncovered ground. For convenience in construction some building materials have to be stacked in the open air The surface soil on some construction sites has to be excavated and piled manually. When it is dry and windy, dust raised can be calculated by the empirical formula for stackyard dusting: W e V V Q 023 . 1 3 0 50 ) ( 1 . 2 - - = Where Q üü dusting volume, kg/t a V50 üü wind velocity at 50 m from the ground ,m/s V0 üü wind velocity for dusting, m/s W——moisture content of dust particle, %. V0 is related to the particl size and moisture content and therefore reduction of stacking in the open air, assurance of proper moisture content and reduction of uncovered ground are effective measures to decrease dusting by wind. Dust on the construction site and road can be prevented and controlled by sprinkling water and cleaning. Cleaning with watering can decrease dusting volume by 70 80 whereas watering after cleaning can inhibit over 90 of dust. Relevant tests have shown that watering for dust removal four to five times a day on the construction site can reduce the dust pollution distance to 20 50m. Page 137 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 137/335 Spread and diffusion of dust particles in the air has something to do with meteorological conditions including wind velocity in addition to the settling velocity of dust particles themselves. Take sand dust for example. The settling velocity of dust particles with different size is shown in Error! Reference source not found. , from which it is known the settling velocity of dust particles will increase with particle size rapidly. When the particle size reaches 250 m, the settling velocity is 1.005 m/s and therefore it may be assumed that when the dust particle is larger than 250 m, the main influence occurs in the near distance range downwind at the dust point. But it is some tiny dust particles that rearly affect the external environment. Depending on the climate on the site, their influence scope will also vary. Table 89: Settling velocity of dust particles with different size Particle size, m 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Settling velocity, m/s 0.003 0.012 0.027 0.048 0.075 0.108 0.147 Particle size , m 80 90 100 150 200 250 350 Settling velocity, m/s 0.158 0.170 0.182 0.239 0.804 1.005 1.829 Particle size, m 450 550 650 750 850 950 1050 Settling velocity, m/s 2.211 2.614 3.016 3.418 3.820 4.222 4.624 The dust influence distance in construction is analyzed by analogy for monitoring results of dust on the construction site, refer to Error! Reference source not found. , at a wind velocity of 2.4 m/s . Table 90: Monitoring results of TSP concentration downwind on the construction site Unit mg/m3 - Distance - 20m - 50m - 100m - 150m - 200m - 250m - Concentration - 1.503 - 0.922 - 0.602 - 0.591 - 0.512 - 0.406 From Table 90 it is clear that at 50 m downwind on the construction site, TSP concentration is lower than the monitored concentration limit 1.0 mg/m3 for unorganized emission specified in the Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants GB16297-1996 . The dusting intensity on the construction site is related with many factors including site conditions, construction method, equipment and season, meteorological conditions and soil of the construction location. The urban flood management and eco-environment treatment project for Bengbu covers a wide area and most of job sites for flood management and storm drainage are distributed linearly with numerous residential areas nearby, which are susceptible to raised dust and protective measures should be taken. The construction impact is temporary and with completion of construction works the impact of dust upon the environment will also disappear accordingly. Page 138 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 138/335 7.2.1.2 Odor This project involves many dredging works and the odor given off in the desilting and transport of bottom mud will affect the environment. 1 Rating of odor intensity Odor intensity is rated on the basis of olfactory threshold of odor and odor evaluation is carried out with reference to the Japanese Six-rating Classification of Odor Intensity as shown in Table 91. Grade I standard is equal to 2.5-rating of odor intensity and beyond the intensity scope, odor pollution is thought to have occurred and counter-measures have to be taken. Table 91: Standard of six-rating classification of odor intensity Japanese Environmental Hygience Department Odor intensity Description of sensation intensity Odor intensity Description of sensation intensity 0 Odorless 3 Marked odor is sensed 1 Slight odor ( sensitivity threshold) 4 Odor 2 Able to distinguish the type of odor ( cognitive threshold) 5 Strong odor 2 Analysis of the impact of odor Intensity of odor pollution is analyzed by analogy. With referenect to the dredging project of Nanpaozi in Mudanjiang dry excavation in summer , odor intensity in the pollution source is surveyed and analyzed as follows: Table 92: Odor intensity of dredged bottom mud dry excavation in the dry pond in Nanpaozi of Mudanjiang Distance Sensation intensity of odor Rating alongshore Marked odor 3 30 m from the alongshore Slight 2 80 m from the alongshore Very slight 1 100 m beyond Odorless 0 In the lake harnessing project of South Lake in Nanning wet dredging is adopted with the result of slight odor by the lake and basically odorless 50m beyond. Conclusion Analysis by analogy shows that in the dredging process of this project marked odor is sensed by the ditch 2-rating odor intensity is reached 30m beyond with slight odor, below the limit level of odor intensity 2.5-3.5 rating and basically odorless 50m beyond. In this project some dredging sites are near the residential quarters, such as Neigoutang in Niushixiang of Guzhen County, Sanpudagou in Mohekou of Wuhe County and Mochong river Page 139 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 139/335 approach and some residential quarters are within 30 m from the ditches and ponds to be dredged. What is more, residents just live by the ditch and the dredging project will no doubt affect them, but such impact is temporary and after completion of works this impact will disappear accordingly. 7.2.1.3 Tail gas, smoke and dust pollution In dyke building and construction of flood road at top of dyke, a large number of transport vehicles and construction machinery will be operated. In the operation of these vehicles and machines tail gas will be emitted. Car and machinery tail gas mainly contains HC, CO and NOX. In melting and spreading asphalt, harmful gases like THC and Bap will be produced and in the operation of construction machinery NO2 and CO waste gas will be emitted. The asphat concrete for the construction project should adopt the plant-mixing method, which is concentrated mixing of materials in the plant production and carried out in the specialized mixing plant with a large size and sound equipment. It should be far away from the construction road over 300 m away from the sensitive point in particular . This method can reduce the harmful gas produced in asphat melting. Compared with melted smoke pollution, the spread asphalt smoke pollution is slight and the waste gases like NO2 and CO emitted from construction machinery are fewer and won’t exert a great impact upon the nearby environment. 7.2.2 Analysis of acoustic environmental impact 1 Intensity of noise pollution source Construction noise is made by machinery and transport vehicles mainly. The noise pollution intensity of this project varies with different phase, site and type of job. In the construction period numerous machines are used. As job is done in the open air without any sound insulation and elimination measures, noise is spread far and wide and a big area is affected. For the sound level of machinery in the construction period refer to Table 93. Table 93: Sound levels of major construction machinery Type of job Main noise source Sound level Earthwork Excavators, bull-dozers, loaders and submerged pumps 85 108 Foundation treatment Pilers, drillers and caterpillar tractors 96 109 Concrete works Cable hoists, concrete mixers, cranes, concrete delivery pumps and concrete poker vibrators 95 110 Bridge and road building Bull-dozers, road rollers, cable hoists and concrete spreaders 85 100 Note The piling process in road and bridge building in the above table is included in the foundation treatment phase. Page 140 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 140/335 2 Analysis of noise environmental impact on the construction site From the analysis of construction pollution source it is known that the noise source on the construction site is mainly the construction machinery that makes great noise and at each construction phase a lot of machinery is in operation on the spot with a sound leve of 85 110 dB(A) for a single unit. These construction machines defy protection. For construction in the open air, noise level can be calculated by the following formula for its attenuation with distance 1 2 1 2 log 20 r r L L -= Where L1 and L2 üüü sound level, dB(A) at r1 and r2 from the source r1 and r2———distance from the noise source,m. In calculation, r1 1 m Noise attenuation of each construction machine with distance is shown in Table 94. Table 94: Calculation of noise attenuation of major noise-making machinery in the construction period Unit dB(A) Distance from construction machinery m Type of job Max. sound Level 1 10 20 40 80 100 150 200 300 400 Earthwork 108 100 80 74 68 62 60 56 54 50 48 Foundation treatment 109 101 81 75 69 63 61 57 55 51 49 Concrete works 110 102 82 76 70 64 62 58 56 52 50 Bridge and road building 100 92 72 66 60 56 54 50 48 44 42 In the construction period the construction site should implement relevant provisions in the standard of Noise Limits at Boundary of Construction Site GB12523-90 . Compared with the Standard, the noise pollution at 40 m beyond the diurnal construction machinery reached the Standard on the precondition of not taking any shock reduction and sound insulation measures and the noise pollution at 200 300 m beyond the nocturnal construction machinery also met the Standard. A prediction of the impact of construction noise upon the surroundings was conducted, assuming the distance from the construction machinery to the boundary was 20 m under the preconditions that the noise pollution at 1 m beyond the boundary of the construction site Page 141 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 141/335 reached the standard of Noise Limits at Boundary of Construction Site GB12523-90 . The findings are shown in Table 95. Table 95: Calculation of noise attenuation of major noise-making machinery in the construction period Unit dB(A) Distance from construction boundary m Construction phase Content Time 1 10 20 40 80 100 150 200 300 350 Diurnal 75 72 69 66 61 60 57 55 51 50 Earthwork and stonework Earthwork Nocturnal 55 52 49 46 41 40 37 35 31 30 Diurnal 85 82 79 76 71 70 67 65 61 60 Piling Foundation treatment Nocturnal Prohibited — — — — — — — — — Diurnal 70 67 64 61 56 55 52 50 46 45 Structure Concrete Works Road and bridge building Nocturnal 55 52 49 46 41 40 37 35 31 30 For acoustic environmental quality around the construction location, the Measuring Method of Environmental Noise of Urban Area GB3096-93 for Grade II should be followed , namely, 60 dB(A) for diurnal and 50 dB(A) for nocturnal. From the above table 4-2-3 it is found that the impact of construction noise upon the environment is mainly at the piling phase. On the precondition of ensuring the noise pollution at the boundary of construction site should reach the standard, the diurnal noise pollution at 350 m beyond the boundary at the piling phase should meet the standard and the diurnal noise pollution at 80 100 m beyond the boundary at the other phases should meet the standard. Residents within 100 m from the construction site will be influenced by the construction noise and residents within 350 m from the construction site will be affected by the construction noise at the piling phase. The pipe network is laid in the urban area. The perimeter of the engineering line is the prosperous area with dense population, where environmentally-sensitive points are numerous. The construction works will affect the acoustic environmental quality of urban area and cause inconveniences to people’s life. But in line with the features of pipe network engineering, pipeline is laid section by section as a rule and each section is laid within a short cycle. Under the prerequisite of taking environmentally-friendly measures strictly, its impact upon the environment and people’s life will be reduced to a minimum. Moreover, dyke building including road at top of dyke , dredging of river course and construction of the culvert station will also exert adverse effects upon the surroundings. But as the construction site is not located in the densely ü populated area, its impact is relatively weak. Page 142 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 142/335 In the construction of the project attention should be paid to reducing artificial noise and proper sound insulation measures should be adopted. Railings should be set up and great noise-making equipment should be used at an appropriate time. Night construction should be avoided as much as possible to reduce the environmental impact in the construction period. At the same time equipment should be placed selectively and natural conditions should be utilized to reduce noise pollution to a minimum. As in the section construction the period for each section is short, noise pollution will not produce a great impact after adoption of environmental protection measures and after completion of works its impact will also disappear. 7.2.3 Analysis of water environmental impact Waster water in the construction period mainly originates from the operation wastewater and domestic wastewater produced by construction workers. Operation waste water Wasterwater from the dredging project is mainly composed of SS as its main pollutant and operation wastewater mainly comes from the following processes: A. In the rivercourse dredging works, underground water will seep in the foundation pit. B. Due to improper management, a lot of mud and sand will flow into water bodies in the excavation and filling of roadbed and poured bored holes, leading to increased suspended matter content in the downstream rivercourse and water body, and turbid water, thereby lowering the water quality. C. The pollutants in the dredged sludge stacked along the shore will be seeped down or laterally with the runoff into neighboring water bodies under the action of rainfall and surface washing. D. In the construction of a coffer dam when the dam is settled and bedded, the river bed will be disturbed, making some bottom mud suspended again when the coffer dam is removed, the residual slurry left over in the dam will be discharged into the river, increasing SS content in the water body for a short time. E. The operation wastewater produced in concrete curing contains suspended substance as its chief pollutant, which should be precipitated and dried at the designated site by the municipal administration department and discharge into the river, canal, farmland or pond is strictly prohibited. Domestic sewage Discharge of sewage from the residential quarters is always small and the main pollution in domestic sewage is caused by excrement and urine from construction workers and washing water and the chief pollutants are BOD5, COD, phosphate, ammonia nitrogen and suspended substance. Page 143 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 143/335 According to the analogy survey, the water quality standard of sewage is COD 300 mg/l, BOD5 150 mg/l,SS 150 mg/l. To ensure the treatment effect of domestic sewage, the excrement and urine have to be pretreated in the septic tank and the treated domestic sewage will be directed to a complete set of small treatment equipment for disposal. For the coastal area of Huaihe River, the sewage of Class I has to meet the Integrated Discharge Standard for Grade I before it can be discharged into the lower reaches of the river course under construction. For the coastal area of tributaries of Huaihe River, the sewage of Class II has to meet the Integrated Discharge Standard for Grade I before it can be discharged into the lower reaches of the river course under construction. 7.2.4 Impact of solid waste In the construction period of the project solid waste mainly covers dirt and crushed stone excavated in the earthwork, stone and ash from construction of buildings and sludge in dredging canals and ditches. Moreover, the resident construction workers will also produce some amount of domestic garbage. 7.2.4.1 Bottom mud in the ditches and canals Because of high moisture content, the dredged silt stacked along the shore will produce percolate, especially in a rainy day the mud may be washed into the river course, thereby lowering the water quality of water body. Bengbu Environmental Monitoring Station monitored the indicators including the heavy metals in the river course bottom mud and results show the bottom mud in each monitoring site has met the national standard of soil environmental quality for Grade III and the agricultural requirements set in the Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use GB4284-84 . It indicates the dredged bottom mud has met the requirements for agriculture and forestry and normal growth of plants and won t do any harm or pollue the plants and environment. Therefore the dredged silt may be stacked in situ along the shore, put into farmland and forest land and used as earth filling in the road for afforestation and earth equilibrium. In this way the stacking and transport volume of sludge will be reduced and the adverse impact of the dredged silt on the environment will be alleviated. For the pond in partial urban districts served as the water body for the discharge of domestic sewage, the primary cause of the bottom mud formation lies in the deposition of suspended substances in the sewage mainly residents domestic sewage . Therefore it is suggested no bottom mud should be used as the soil for the crops that are taken directly by mankind and the mud should be filled and embedded in a sanitary way. 7.2.4.2 Construction Waste The earth to be shipped out and building garbage in the project to be constructed are ordianary solid waste without any toxic and deleterious components and should be used in Page 144 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 144/335 the foundation filling, depression stuffing or coastal greening for the construction works designated by the municipal and planning departments. The remaining garbage may be shipped to the municipal garbage landfill for filling and embedment and discard disposal usually won’t produce any adverse environmental impact. 7.2.4.3 Domestic Solid Waste During the construction period the construction workers will produce a given amount of domestic garbage in the daily life. If not disposed of promptly, mosquitoes will multiply at the suitable temperature, odor will be given off and diseases will be transmitted, exerting adverse effects on the surroundings. Therefore on the construction site centralized collection points will be set up and after collection of domestic garbage, it will be shipped out by the municipal sanitary department to avoid impact on the surroundings. 7.2.5 Impact on the Eco-environment 7.2.5.1 Impact on vegetation In the construction of the project, excavation of surface ground will disturb part of original ground feature and vegetation. In construction a small amount of farmland will be occupied. The impact of engineering construction on vegetation is mainly a short-term effect on the crops and vegetation in the rivercourse shoal. After completion of works the original production function of the farmland can be resumed by secondary ploughing and its impact can be eliminated. In the construction, felling of trees and destruction of vegetation should be minimized and after completion of works the trees felled on the way should be replanted to ensure that vegetation coverage in the area will not be reduced because of the implementation of the project. The engineering construction will lead to uncovered ground, on which a lot of dust will be raised and covered on the nearby crops and branches and leaves of trees, affecting their photosynthesis and resulting in reduction of crop output. In the flowering period it will also affect fruit-setting of plants and reduct yield. The plants on both sides of the access road are also susceptible to road dust raised by the transport vehicles. In the rainy season the loose soil washed by the rainwater will enter the farmland around the construction site and cause siltation, which will also exert adverse effects on the growth of crops. As planned in the project to be constructed, upon completion of works ecological restoration will be effected by planting trees chiefly. 7.2.5.2 Impact on the aquatic life In the river course dredging project excavation of bottom mud will reduce the quantity of bottom life in the mud. But due to the deterioration of overall water environmental quality in Bengbu, the bottom life is confronted with a bad living environment. After the completion of Page 145 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 145/335 the dredging project, water quality in the river course will be improved markedly and the living environment for the bottom life will also be restored gradually. In the construction period adverse effects will be produced on the bottom life in the river course, but as a whole, far more gains will be produced than losses. 7.2.5.3 Impact on land utilization In the construction work part of land along the line will be used. Most of land is farmland, urban construction land and floodland. The construction work will also occupy part of land for the time being. The temporary occupancy of land will destruct the surface vegetation. Besides, rolling and transport by construction machinery and treading by construction workers will also disturb the vegetation in and around the job area to some extent. Appropriate ecological compensation measures will be adopted. Based on the principle of “whoever destructs the vegetation shall restore it and whoever utilizes the land shall compensate”, after completion of works the development organization will make economic compensations for the losses sustained to the residents on the way from temporary occupancy of land in line with relevant regulations. 7.2.5.4 Analysis of the impact of soil erosion The construction work will destruct the surface vegetation and ground water and top soil will be lost. At the same time a large quantiy of spoil and dirt is stacked on the construction site and once it rains in the construction period, soil erosion can easily occur. As the dredged silt covers a large plot area for stacking and vegetation is destructed serously, failure to adopt proper preventive measures will result in the several-fold increase in the soil erosion volume in the place where the project to be constructed is located. 7.3 Environmental Impacts during Operation 7.3.1 Prediction and analysis of water-environmental impact This environmental evaluation mainly focus on three aspects to analyze the water- environmental impact, one is the impact of the realized environmental benefits and the discharge total amount of pollutants of the improvement of city drainage system along with construction and operation of the sewage treatment plant in the drainage plan; the second one is the impact of the discharge total amount of pollutants to the Huaihe River of the construction of Mohekou Park’s sewage treatment plant, as well as the reduction effect to the total amount of the pollutants in the Park; And the third one is the Longzi Lake water- environmental impact analysis of the discharge of the generated stack field wastewater during desilting of the Longzi Lake. Page 146 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 146/335 7.3.1.1 Water-environmental impact analysis of urban drainage project \1a\11ffi\11fi\11fi\11fi\03$QDO\VLV\03RI\03XUEDQ\03SROOXWLRQ\03GLVFKDUJH\03 Based on the statistics of the amount of river pollution discharge outlets of the city in 2005 and 2006, analyze the ratio of each pollution discharge outlet to the entire urban sewage volume. Table 96: Statistical table of pollution discharge of city pollution discharge outlet Pollution discharge volume in 2005 Pollution discharge volume in 2006 Name of pollution discharge outlet Pollution discharge volume 10000t/a Proportion in the total pollution discharge volume of the city Pollution discharge volume 10000t/a Proportion in the total pollution discharge volume of the city Baligou 1228 11.5% 1649 18.3% Xijiahou 5080 47.0% 4316 47.8% No.3 Dock 672 6.2% 336 3.7% No.1 Dock 669 6.2% 325 3.6% Jiaotong Road 1185 11.2% 870 9.7% Longzi Lake 1840 17.0% 1510 16.7% Baojiagou 100 0.9% 21 0.2% Total 10744 100% 9027 100% From the data in the table, we can see that, among the seven major urban pollution discharge outlets, the pollution discharge volume of Xijiagou is the largest, which accounted for more than 47% of the urban total discharge amount, and followed by Baligou, the Longzi Lake, Jiaotong Road, No.3 Dock, No.1 Dock and Baljiagou. We can also see that, the sewage of Bengbu City can be divided by the Xijiagou, the sewage amount of the west area of Xijiagou is larger, which accounted for more than 60% of the total amount, nearly 154,000 t/d; while the sewage of the east area of Xijiagou is less than 40% of the total, amounting to 104,000 t/d. The total collected sewage amount of the entire urban pollution discharge outlets is about 258,000 t/d. According to the statistics of 2005, in Bengbu city, the sewage treatment capacity is 25.55 million tons, the industrial wastewater treatment capacity is 16.89 million tons and the total Page 147 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 147/335 amount of sewage collection and treatment is 42.44 million tons/year. The concentrated sewage treatment rate is about 30%, so the total sewage amount of Bengbu City in 2005 is about 141.47 million tons / year, the ratio of the living wastewater to the industrial wastewater is 3:2. Statistical analysis chart of pollution discharge volume of Bengbu City pollution discharge outlets is Figure 11 Statistical analysis chart of pollution discharge volume of Bengbu City pollution discharge outlets fifi\08 ffdotaccent\08 caron\08 caron\08 fifi\08 fi\1a\08 fi\08 Baligou Xijiagou No.3 Dock No.1 Dock Jiaotong Road Longzi River Baojiagou Figure 11: Statistical analysis chart of pollution discharge volume of Bengbu City pollution discharge outlets Seen from the current distribution of Bengbu City drainage system, the sewage entering the 7 pollution discharge outlets is basically collected by the pipe network. Only the east side of Baligou, east bank of the Longzi Lake and Baojiagou area haven’t formed the pipe network, so the sewage access network rate of the pollution discharge outlets of Baligou and the Longzi Lake takes by 50%, and exclude the sewage of Baojiahou. Accordingly, estimate the actual collection rate of Bengbu City sewage pipe network. Table 97 is the estimated results of sewage collection rate.

It is far below the requirement in the plan of reaching 70% of the concentrated sewage treatment rate till 2010.So it is very important to perfect the construction of sewage closure pipe network and speed up the construction of sewage treatment works. \1a\11ffi\11fi\11fi\11ffl\03:DWHU\03TXDOLW\\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03XUEDQ\03VHZDJH\03 According to 2005 statistics data of the total amount of pollutants with chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen index, nearly 100,000 tons of the sewage achieved GB18918- 2002 Grade I A standard (CODcr 50mg/L, ammonia nitrogen 5mg/L) after the treatment of Xijiagou sewage treatment plant, and then discharged into the Huaihe River, estimate the water quality of the remaining untreated sewage as the current average concentration of Bengbu City untreated sewage. Figure 12, Figure 13 and Figure 14 are the statistical analysis charts of sewage and pollutants discharge of 7 pollution discharge outlets.

Meanwhile, this environmental evaluation uses reverse deduction method to estimate the water quality of the untreated sewage, the specific methods are: based on the sewage discharge volume, emissions of the pollutants of seven major pollution discharge outlets of Bengbu City in 2005, there is 100,000 tons of sewage can achieve Grade I A standard after the treatment of sewage treatment plant, estimate the Statistical analysis chart of CODcr emissions of Bengbu City pollution discharge outlets in 2005 JRX\03 DJRX\03 1ffi\03'RFN\03 1fi\03'RFN\03 413.7 618.2 8.5 4.2 0 : - RQJ\03 \03 ]L\035LYHU 464.4 595.6 8.5 4.2 0 : \03 LDJRX Statistical analysis chart of ammonia nitrogen emissions of Bengbu City pollution discharge outlets in 2005 JRX\03 DJRX\03 1ffi\03'RFN\03 1fi\03'RFN\03 WRQJ\03 \03 ]L\035LYHU 464.4 383.4 8.5 4.2 0 : \03 LDJRX Page 150 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 150/335 emissions of the pollutants of these discharge sewage which already achieved the standard. Take the remaining emissions of pollutants as the untreated sewage emissions, then reverse deduct the water quality of the untreated sewage water. Estimated results are shown in Table 99.

Analysis of the estimated data in table 5 and table 6 and take into the full consideration of the fluctuation scope of the water quality of seven pollution discharge outlets, this environmental evaluation final confirms: Among the sewage discharged from the seven pollution discharge outlets of Bengbu City, the water quality of the untreated sewage water is CODcr of 250mg/L and ammonia nitrogen of 45gm/L. In the following analysis of the total pollutants and the prediction of water-environmental impact, we will use such value as the average water quality of the untreated sewage. \1a\11ffl\11fi\11fi\11ffi\037RWDO\03DPRXQW\03FRQWURO\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03XUEDQ\03VHZDJH\03 According to the development planning and drainage plan of Bengbu City, till 2010, Bengbu City's sewage collection system will form the basic network and the total amount of the sewage will be 494,100 m3/d.After the completion of urban drainage projects, if without the newly construction of sewage treatment plants for matching, with the increase of the sewage amount and the concentrated pollution discharge outlets, it may lead to the pollution discharged into the Huaihe River much higher than the total amount of discharge sewage in 2005 and cause the adverse impact to the Huaihe River. The environmental evaluation will analyze the changes of the total amount of Bengbu City’s discharge sewage according to the different levels of sewage treatment. And the prediction evaluation of the water- environmental impact of Bengbu section of the Huaihe River. Page 151 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 151/335 The total amount control analysis will estimate the recent planning sewage amount in 2010 by the different sewage treatment capacity. (1) Based on the current sewage treatment capacity, that is only maintain the treatment capacity of 100,000 tons/day of Xijiagou sewage treatment plant, and the water quality of untreated sewage takes the average value of current water quality, then estimate the total amount of the pollutants discharged into the Huaihe River. (2) Suppose there will be Xijiagou sewage treatment plant only to treat the sewage at full capacity in 2010, with the treatment capacity up to 200,000 tons /day of the design scale, then estimate the total amount of the pollutants discharged into the Huaihe River. (3) Suppose Xijiagou sewage treatment plant, the Yangtaizi sewage treatment plant and the Hebei sewage treatment plant all completed and put into operation according to plan, then estimate the total emissions of the pollutants. The yearly different sewage treatment capacity and the estimated results of total emissions of the pollutants of Bengbu City planning are shown in Table 100, Figure 14, Figure 15 and Figure 16.

Till 2010, if still maintain the existing sewage treatment capacity, that is 100,000 tons/day treatment capacity of Xijiagou sewage treatment plant, the total amount of COD emissions will increase by 87.8% compared with that in 2005, while the ammonia nitrogen will increase by 79.2%; if the design treatment capacity of 200,000 tons/day of Xijiagou is under the normal operation, the total amount of COD emissions will increase by 51.5% compared with that in 2005, while the ammonia nitrogen will increase by 39.9%;If the supplementary construction of Yangtaizi sewage treatment plant Phase I and Huaishang Hebei sewage treatment plant Phase I can put into use as the planning, the total amount of COD emissions will increase by 6.2% compared with that in 2005, which is close to the current situation of 2005 basically. And the emissions of ammonia nitrogen will decrease by 9.3% compared with that in 2005. It is evident that the construction projects of urban drainage system must be interconnected with the sewage treatment projects, so as to play the role in control the pollution and have the real environmental benefits. 7.3.1.2 Prediction of water-environmental impact of the Huaihe River \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ffl\11fi\03&XUUHQW\03VLWXDWLRQ\03RI\03SROOXWLRQ\03GLVFKDUJH\03RI\03WKH\03+XDLKH\035LYHU\03 According to the monitoring data in 2006, the flow and the water quality of urban seven pollution discharge outlets and three monitoring sections are shown in Table 101.

Simulation of the pollution discharge section of the Huaihe River According to the technical guidelines of environmental evaluation, the annual average flow of Bengbu section of the Huaihe River is more than 150 m3/s, which is the large river and can be simplified as the rectangular straight river. Simplify the pollution sources. Based on the evaluation level and the actual situation of Bengbu section of the Huaihe River, simplify the pollution sources as the consecutive constant emission point sources. The main sources of this system are: Xijiagou sewage treatment plant, Yangtaizi sewage treatment plant, Hebei sewage treatment plant and the sewage treatment plan of Mohekou Park, the upstream inflow of Bengbu sluice is also considered to be one influent pollution source of this system. \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ffl\11ffl\03&KRLFH\03RI\03PDWKHPDWLFDO\03PRGHO\03 This evaluation uses meandering river steady-state mixed cumulative flow model, predict and evaluate the impact degree and scope of the project’s sewage to the water body of downstream.

From the data in Table 106 and Figure 17, Figure 18, Figure 19 and Figure 20, we can see that, the change trend of the concentration of pollutants in each evaluation section is: The water quality of new railway bridge section is in the rapid decline compared with the section of Bengbu sluice; the water quality of the downstream of Mohekou section is slightly better than in new railway bridge section, but still has some pollution compared with the water quality of the upstream inflow. For the prediction value of Mohekou section, the results of proposal A is clearly better than proposal B, which reflects the water quality of the sewage of Mohekou Park having the greater impact to the water quality of the Huaihe River. The main difference between the proposal A and proposal B is that the water quality of downstream 3.5km of Mohekou section (downstream 2km of pollution discharge outlet of Mohekou Park) is close to the water quality of upstream inflow of Bengbu sluice basically. It indicates that once the sewage treatment plant can effectively play its sewage treatment capacity to ensure the tail water of the sewage treatment plant discharge up to the standard, then it will have little environmental impact to the downstream of Bengbu section of the Huaihe River. The prediction results of proposal C show that, if the sewage treatment plants can not discharge the tail water up to the standard, the COD and ammonia nitrogen of new railway bridge section will over the standard of Class III water body; the prediction results of Mohekou section show that, through the attenuation of nearly 30km of Bengbu section, the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the sewage is still over the standard, which indicates the water quality of sewage discharged from Bengbu to the Huaihe River has the greater impact to Bengbu section of the Huaihe River and its downstream and it has the great significance for whether the water quality of the downstream of the Huaihe River can maintain the function of Class III water body.

To ensure the Bengbu section of the Huaihe River maintains the function of Class III water body basically, the new construction and expansion of the sewage treatment plants is imperative. Meanwhile, monitor and predict the serious situation of ammonia nitrogen index exceeding the standard of the water quality, as well as the treatment requirement for the ammonia nitrogen of 5mg/L in the Grade I A standard for the urban sewage treatment plants, we suggest the sewage treatment plants shall take into the enough consideration of the ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency when choosing the sewage treatment process. Treatment process must have strong capacity to remove the phosphorus and nitrogen. (2) In order to minimize the pollution load to the downstream Bengbu of the Huaihe River, we shall in particular, strengthen the monitoring works for the sewage treatment discharge up to the standard of Mohekou Park. Especially the industrial and mining enterprises within the Park must do the pretreatment discharge up to the standard, from one hand, we shall avoid the industrial enterprises in the park to discharge the sewage into the Huaihe River directly; from the other hand, we shall prevent the pretreatment of the enterprises over the standard, further leads to the pollution load of the sewage entering the sewage treatment plant is too large for the normal operation, then a large amount of industrial wastewater will collection discharge with failure to meet the standard, which will cause the serious environmental pollution to the water environment of the Huaihe River. Thus, the emissions of industrial wastewater with the failure to meet the standard of Mohekou Park become the potential risk for the downstream water environment of the Huaihe River. 7.3.1.3 Water-environmental impact analysis of Mohekou sewage treatment plant \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ffi\11fi\03:DWHU\10HQYLURQPHQWDO\03LPSDFW\03DQDO\VLV\03GXULQJ\03WKH\03QRUPDO\03RSHUDWLRQ\03SHULRG\03 (1) Investigation on Current Situation of Regional Surface Water For the sewage treatment plant of Mohekou industrial Park and the supplementary pipe network project are still in the planning, the generated sewage of the enterprises within the Park and some living sewage of Mohekou town are discharged into the Huaihe River through Sanpu big ditch. Sanpu big ditch and the bypass channel of the Mochong River are two artificial irrigation ditches, the gates to the Huaihe River are basically closed except the flood discharge. Page 166 August 2007 Page: 166/335 (2) The main contents of the prediction After the completion of the sewage treatment plant, the enterprises sewage within the Park and the living sewage of the town will not be discharged into Sanpu big ditch directly any more; after the treatment, the sewage will achieve Grade 1 A standard, then is discharged into the bypass channel of the Mochong River and flows southward to the Huaihe River. This evaluation mainly predicts the impact of the water quality of the Huaihe River after the completion of the projects, forecasts the contribution value of the concentration of the of the pollutants in the river because of the sewage discharge of the sewage treatment plant, as well as the distribution of the concentration of pollutants in the river. (3) Predictive factor and model z\03 Predictive factor The predictive factor of water-environmental impact is COD. z\03 Predictive model This evaluation uses meandering river steady-state mixed cumulative flow model, predict and evaluate the impact degree and scope of the project’s sewage to the water body of downstream.

Considering the gate close during the drought period of Bengbu sluice of the Huaihe River, we can get the relationship of the flow speed and the flow: u=0.01025Q 0.8733 z\03 Parameter Selection The specific hydrological parameters are as follows: Uclose=0.009m/s; Qclose=12.5 m3/s; h=3.0m;B=300m; I=2.9*10-5;K=0.16L/d (Select the water capacity of Bengbu City to check the experience value of the research result, and use two-point method to check the routine monitoring data of the sections of the Huaihe River); My=0.062m/s; Ch=12.2mg/L (Monitor the maximum COD of the current situation).The treatment scale of the sewage treatment plant is 30,000 m3/d, during the normal discharge of the sewage: Qp=8.33 m3/s;Cp=50mg/L. z\03 Prediction Result Integrate the prediction parameters into the formula to calculate the COD prediction result of each monitoring section after the completion of the projects. Prediction results are shown in Table 107.

The sewage causes a certain degree of pollution to the water quality of the Huaihe River within the downstream 1300m of the pollution discharge outlet. z\03 Impact Analysis After the implementation of the sewage treatment works, the ecological impact is mainly the positive impact, the main negative impact is shown in the impact to the surrounding ecological environment of the pollution discharge outlet, with the smaller impact to the terrestrial ecological environment. (1) The impact to the surrounding ecological environment of the pollution discharge outlet The sewage is collection discharge after the closure treatment, there will be considerable non-removal suspended solids and sediments to discharge into the Huaihe River along with the sewage. The surrounding sediments of the pollution discharge outlet will have some impact to the species and quantity of the benthic organism. Meanwhile, for the collection discharge of the sewage, it will form a certain length of the pollution belt near the downstream of the pollution discharge outlet. The original aquatic habitat will be destroyed in the pollution belt, and the species of the aquatic organism will be decreased, while the number of the tolerance organisms will be increased and the species diversity within the pollution belt will be reduced. However, for the width of the pollution belt will not cover too large area of the river, along with the larger flow of the Huaihe River, although it will cause some pollution of the local water, there will be no significant impact. Therefore, the collection discharge of the sewage after the closure treatment will have the little impact to the growth of the surrounding fish and aquatic organisms of the pollution discharge outlet. Page 169 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 169/335 (2) Eutrophication problem of the water body Phosphorus, nitrogen and other pollutants in the living sewage are the essential nutrients for the growth of the aquatic plants. When the river flow is quick and the speed is fast, the impact of the nutrient enrichment is little, but when the river flow is slow, the sediment volume of nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrient salts will increase accordingly, which may cause the eutrophication problem of the water body. If not take into the consideration of the removal function of the nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrient salts in this process, or the removal rate is lower, it may result in the eutrophication of local water, such as the surrounding water of the pollution discharge outlet. (3) Heavy metal In addition, the influent to the sewage treatment plant contains the industrial sewage, which contains the heavy metals in the sewage, while these pollutants will have a chronic, long- term cumulative impact in some organisms. It will have the enrichment of the heavy metals in the fish, further affect human health with the food chain. (4) Mitigation Measures In the sewage treatment process design, we shall consider increasing the removal rate of nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrient salts. At the same time, strengthen the monitoring and management works of the water quality of the surrounding water of the pollution discharge outlet and control the changes of the downstream water quality of the pollution discharge outlet timely. Sewage treatment plants shall comply with the requirements of CJ3082-1999 “Quality Standard of Wastewater Discharged into Urban Sewer Pipe” and GB18918-2002 “Pollutant Discharge Standard of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant” strictly, strictly control the industrial sewage, especially for the special sewage containing heavy metals and other harmful substances, to ensure the normal operation of the sewage treatment plants and the discharge of the tail water up to the standard. \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ffi\11ffl\03,PSDFW\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03HQYLURQPHQWDO\03DFFLGHQWDO\03ULVN\03 (1)Environmental risk of non-normal sewage discharge Based on the analysis of the biological treatment mechanism of the sewage and the practices of the domestic similar sewage treatment plants, the main reasons of untreated sewage overflow of urban sewage treatment plants are as follows: Because of the quality problems or improper maintenance of the sewage treatment equipments and facilities, it will cause the malfunction of the equipment and facilities, further lead to the decline of the sewage treatment efficiency or even the direct discharge of the untreated sewage. Page 170 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 170/335 In case of a power cut of the sewage treatment plant, it will lead to the direct discharge of the untreated sewage. Both of the above circumstances will have an impact on the water quality of the Huaihe River. The possible sudden and non-sudden accidents of the sewage pipe network and sewage treatment system of the sewage treatment works during the normal operation will affect the normal operation of the sewage treatment plants and have a serious impact to the environment. For example: because of the pipeline jam, pipeline rupture and damage of the pipe joints, cause the bulk sewage outflow and the contamination of surface water and groundwater; a large amount of over-standard industrial sewage joins the urban pipe network, thus leads to the substantial increase of the influent concentration, then cause the effluent of the sewage treatment plant can not meet the standard; because of the power cut, equipment damage, abnormal operation of the sewage treatment structures, cause a large number of non-efficient treated sewage be discharged into the receiving water body directly, which results in the accidental pollution. The assumed condition of the risk impact is: the sewage will be discharged into the bypass channel of the Mochong River directly after the Grade I treatment, after that, it will be discharged into the Huaihe River. The COD removal rate of Grade I treatment is only 30%, the urban sewage treatment plants collect and treat the distributed sewage, then discharge the sewage into the water body, so if the sewage treatment plants have the accident, it will change the more points pollution to a single point collection pollution, which will increase the pollution impact to the water body. Prediction results are shown in Table 108.

Therefore, the design of the sewage treatment plant shall strictly prevent the occurrences of the risk, need to use the dual power supply and standby pump, meanwhile, the operation must strictly follow the procedures and steps to prevent the accidents. In addition, the Page 171 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 171/335 environmental management departments shall also take some supervision measures for the sewage treatment plant, so as to promote the management of the sewage treatment plant and ensure the normal operation. 7.3.1.4 Water-environmental impact analysis and prediction of the Longzi Lake desilting projects \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ff\11fi\036WDQGDUG\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03WUHDWPHQW\03RI\03GUHGJLQJ\03SURMHFW\03HQJLQHHULQJ\03ZDVWHZDWHU\03 The pollutants in the dredging project engineering wastewater mainly come from the containing pollutants in the water body of the construction site and the enrichment of N, P and heavy metal pollutants in the sediment particles, as long as we control the concentration of emissions of the suspended solids in the wastewater, we can effectively control the concentration of the emissions of other pollutants. According to the research results of the experimental simulation of the silt of the Sea of Grass, the Dianchi River: The pollutant content in the wastewater will decrease along with the increase of the silt sedimentation time, rest for 48h, the concentration of the pollutants in the wastewater can basically meet the Grade I standard of the sewage integrated emission standard, but the concentration of the suspended solids might not reach the Grade I standard. If the rest time is less than 48h, the concentration of the pollutants in the wastewater will over the Grade I standard of the sewage integrated emission standard. According to the design of this project’s stack field, the silt sedimentation time is generally over 48h, but the silt sedimentation time may be shorten at the later period of the construction, which is not less than one hour generally. Then even not treat it, there will still be no heavy metals pollution, but the secondary pollution of nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matters and suspended solids is inevitable. At this time, we can add the chemical treatment to decrease the concentration of the pollutants in the wastewater.

Page 173 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 173/335 The practice results of dredging project of the Sea of Grass, the Dianchi River show that: Most of the pollutants in the dredging slurry are concentrated in the suspended particles, as long as we can strictly control the emissions of the suspended particles into the receiving water body, most of the pollutants can be trapped in the stack field. The monitoring and test results of the Dianchi River Dredging project show that, the nitrogen and phosphorus content in the different dredging areas and under the different dredging operation conditions is very different accordingly. Now, we convert the test results of the water quality of the wastewater in the different dredging areas and different time uniformly to SS=100mg/L, then the values of T-N, T-P are shown in Table 110. Table 110: Nitrogen and phosphorus contents during SS equivalent in the different dredging areas of the dredging project of the Sea of Grass, the Dianchi River. Index Monitoring period Stack field 1 Stack field 2 Stack field 3 Stack field 4 The first time 6.39 0.855 0.77 1.2 T-N mg/L The second time 8.31 1.76 10.2 1.8 The first time 0.845 0.043 0.043 0.071 T-P mg/L The second time 1.21 0.100 0.044 0.099 From the date in the table, we can see that, the two monitoring N and P contents can be different by 10-20 times. For the reasons, besides the differences of the pollutant content in the sediment, the “screen role” to the Sediment of the different dredging operation conditions and the working conditions of the stack fields is also the one of the reasons. This evaluation conducts the prediction (determine the total nitrogen as per the ammonia nitrogen index) of the normal discharge of the wastewater according to the Grade I emission standard of Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-1996).During the later period, it may cause the abnormal emissions of the project engineering wastewater because of the short stay time, storm runoff and other factors. In the Dianchi River dredging project, the maximum concentration SS of the wastewater discharge is 380mg/L, TN is 38.76mg/L and TP is 4.60mg/L.The prediction of this environmental evaluation under the abnormal emissions takes the reference of the highest emission concentration of the wastewater of the Dianchi River dredging operation for calculation.

Within 400m distance from the outlet of project engineering wastewater, the regional concentration of the pollutants in water is decrease rapidly with the increase of the distance; TN and TP concentrations in the water body are close to the background concentrations at the 600m from the outlet of project engineering wastewater. 2. The impact scope of TP and TN to the water quality of the Longzi Lake is about 600m. Under the normal wastewater emissions of the stack field, the contribution values of the concentration of TP and TN at the 450m from the outlet of project engineering wastewater are lower than the standard values of Class water quality of (QYLURQPHQWDO\03 4XDOLW\\03 6WDQGDUG\03IRU\036XUIDFH\03:DWHU\11 Under the abnormal emissions, when TN is at about 550m from the outlet of project engineering wastewater and TP is at about 800m from the outlet of project engineering wastewater, the both contribution values of the concentration are lower than the relating provisions of Class water quality standard of \03 (QYLURQPHQWDO\03 4XDOLW\\03 6WDQGDUG\03IRU\036XUIDFH\03:DWHU\11\03 Page 175 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 175/335 Figure 21: Prediction results of project engineering wastewater discharge on the water 7.3.1.4.3 Longzi Lake water-environmental impact analysis of slurry transportation pipeline accident As the span between the Longzi desilting spot and stack field is larger, so the slurry transportation pipeline of the project is also longer; Because affected by many factors such as the slurry transportation pipeline enduring the uneven pressure, pipeline quality, existing problems during the pipeline construction, it is possible to happen the pipeline rupture or leaking phenomenon which results in the slurry leakage. Once the pipeline is rupture, the slurry will infuse into the River again, which will have a certain degree of the impact to the water quality of the Longzi Lake. We shall inspect the slurry transportation pipelines regularly during the construction period, in order to avoid the pipeline rupture. \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ff\11ff\036HFRQGDU\\03SROOXWLRQ\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03GUHGJLQJ\03SURMHFW\03 Sediment dredging is one of the important measures to manage the internal pollution of the River. However, the sediment dredging is a massive man-made interference, the dredging works will promote the emissions of nutrient salts, heavy metals and other pollutants, so as to have some negative impacts to the environmental quality of the water body. 71 0 5 1 0 1 5 2 0 118.4 652.8 6.5 4.3 0 : \0b 118.4 657.4 6.5 4.3 0 : P 118.4 662.1 6.5 4.3 0 : J 118.4 666.9 6.5 4.3 0 : \12 118.4 671.6 6.5 4.3 0 : / 118.4 676.3 6.5 4.3 0 : \0c 0 200 400 600 800 P\0c 71 0 1 0 2 0 3 0 4 0 5 0 321.9 652.8 6.5 4.3 0 : \0b 321.9 657.4 6.5 4.3 0 : P 321.9 662.1 6.5 4.3 0 : J 321.9 666.9 6.5 4.3 0 : \12 321.9 671.6 6.5 4.3 0 : / 321.9 676.3 6.5 4.3 0 : \0c 0 200 400 600 800 P\0c 73 0 1 2 3 4 5 321.9 490.8 6.5 4.3 0 : \0b 321.9 495.4 6.5 4.3 0 : P 321.9 500.2 6.5 4.3 0 : J 321.9 504.9 6.5 4.3 0 : \12 321.9 509.6 6.5 4.3 0 : / 321.9 514.3 6.5 4.3 0 : \0c 0 200 400 600 800 P\0c 73 0 . 2 0 . 4 0 . 6 0 . 8 118.9 490.8 6.5 4.3 0 : \0b 118.9 495.4 6.5 4.3 0 : P 118.9 500.2 6.5 4.3 0 : J 118.9 504.9 6.5 4.3 0 : \12 118.9 509.6 6.5 4.3 0 : / 118.9 514.3 6.5 4.3 0 : \0c 0 200 400 600 800 P\0c Radial Distance Radial Distance Radial Distance Radial Distance T N N ormal emission TN Accidental discharge T P normal emi ssion TP Accidental discharge C o n c e n t r a t i o n ( m g / L ) C o n c e n t r a t i o n ( m g / L ) C o n c e n t r a t i o n ( m g / L ) C o n c e n t r a t i o n ( m g / L ) Page 176 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 176/335 According to the comparative study of the water quality before and after the dredging in the Taihu Lake in :DWHU\034XDOLW\\035LVN\03$VVHVVPHQW\03IRU\036HGLPHQW\03'UHGJLQJ\032SHUDWLRQV\03LQ\03WKH\037DLKX\03 /DNH (compiled by Liu Aiju, Kong Fanxiang, Wang Dong), during the dredging operation period and the short time after the end of dredging, the total suspended solids, toxic metal ions and the contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrient salts in the water body increase, while the water transparency is lower down. The main reason is the dredging works making the surface sediment to resuspend, thus promoting the release of the nitrogen, phosphorus etc. nutrient salts and the toxic heavy metals in the sediment. Such environmental impact will go on for some time, after 2 months of the end of the dredging project, the contents of the suspended solids, heavy metal pollution levels and the contents of nitrogen, phosphorus etc. nutrient salts begin to decrease, which shows that, after the dredging, the suspended solids and absorbed nutrient salts, heavy metals ions in the water body can happen the quickly sedimentation. But compared with the situation before the dredging, the water-environmental quality of the inner River after nine months of the dredging is lower than the level before the dredging. After one year of the dredging, the water quality is increased and all the indicators are lower than the level before the dredging. This indicates the sediment dredging can improve and upgrade the water quality of the River. \1a\11ffi\11fi\11ff\11breve\03 $QDORJ\\03 DQDO\VLV\03 RI\03 ZDWHU\10HQYLURQPHQWDO\03 LPSURYHPHQW\03 DIWHU\03 WKH\03 GHVLOWLQJ\03 RI\03 WKH\03 /RQJ]L\03/DNH\03 The pollution sources for water eutrophication can be divided into the outer sources and the inner sources. The River sediment is an important nutrient reservoir for the River, after the decrease of the influent nutrient salts load or complete interception, the nutrient salts in the sediment will be released gradually and become the dominant factors for the River eutrophication. At present, the Longzi Lake has completed the closure, Yangtaizi sewage treatment plan is under the construction, which is expected to complete and put into use till the end of 2007.Therefore, the sediment of the Longzi Lake becomes the main factor to impact the water quality of the Longzi Lake. There are more villages around the South River, the living sewage of the villagers has been discharged into the Longzi Lake directly without any treatment, the South River mainly collects the farmland runoff, living sewage of the neighboring residents and the influents from the South mountains, so the eutrophication level of the South River sediment is higher and it is special important to remove the South sediment with eutrophication. The South River’s area accounts for nearly 50% of the total area of the Longzi Lake, the dredging for the polluted sediment of the South River is equivalent to remove a huge surface pollution source, furthermore, it can also increase the storage capacity and the self-purification capacity of the River. The following table is the comparison of the water quality before and after the implementation of the Chaohu River dredging project.

After the implementation of the Chaohu River dredging project, it will control the emissions of the living sewage of the surrounding enterprises and the residents, as well as greatly reduce or completely eliminate the emissions of the outer pollutants. Part of the Southern ponds will be transformed into the artificial wetlands, after the transformation of the ponds; it can reduce or eliminate the bait material dosing and reduce the agricultural non-point source pollution. All of these will improve the water quality and release the eutrophication process of this regional water body at a certain extent. 7.3.2 Environmental impact analysis of ecology and landscape 7.3.2.1 Ecological improvement role of Longzi dredging project The domestic relating research results show that, the light, transparency and the light compensation depth are the limiting factors for the growth of the submerged plants. After the completion of the dredging works, the water transparency will be improved markedly, the underwater light intensity will increase, which will be beneficial to the growth of the submerged plants and recover the quantity and the diversity of the submerged plants. The algae will be changed fastest with the influence of the water quality. Along with the improvement of the water quality, the quantity of the algae will increase and the original dominant species of the microcystin, cryptophyta, anabaena and other tolerance algae will be Page 178 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 178/335 replaced by the diatoms and the chlorophyceae. This makes the greater changes of the structure and the quantity of the algae. Affected by the dredging operation, the structure of the benthic animals will be destroyed during the construction period and the species of the benthic animals will reduce, too. With the completion of the project, the water quality will improve and the habitat environment of the benthic animals will be restored gradually. The first present things are chironomid larva, limnodrilus sp. etc., no mollusks in the short term. After the further improvement of the water quality, along with the gradual recover of the large aquatic plants, the quantity of the mollusks will also increase gradually and the yaquatic plants with large, the number of mollusks will also gradually increase and the macrobenthos may be restored then. Fish is the higher organisms of the nutrient level in the aquatic ecosystem. The restoration and development of the fish are rest with the water quality and the recovery degree of other aquatic biological organisms with the lower nutrient level. The removal of the contaminated sediment expands the effective area and the place for the fish natural spawning ground. Looking at the short term, the dredging project will not have a greater impact on the species and quantity of the fish. From a long-term perspective, the dredging project can remove the heavy metals and toxic substances in the sediment, then to cut off their access to the food chain and the access for migration and enrichment in the food chain, thus to improve the quality of the fish. In addition, along with the gradual recovery of the phytoplankton and zooplankton, the bait will increase continually, which is beneficial to the growth and the reproduction for the eating fish. 7.3.2.2 Environmental impact analysis of the Longzi Lake slope dressing and restoration of riparian vegetation The impact of the construction of the Longzi Lake slope dressing project to the ecological environment is shown in the generated soil erosion. Slope dressing is bound to break the existing coastal landforms and disturb the formed coastal ecological environment. Local slope will be cut off and create the new exposed soil; Local slope will be filled, the new filling soil will expose out of the slope surface, which is very easy for the soil erosion. As part of the soil erosion is inevitable, so we must control the construction operation area strictly during the construction process, as well as strengthen the management to minimize the soil erosion. After the completion of the slope dressing, it will also have the local soil erosion. The generated strength of the soil erosion is closely related with the type of the slope. The main types of the river bank are natural river bank, hard river bank and the ecological river bank. In the Chapter "alternative proposal" of this report, we conduct the selection of the different types of the river bank from the ecological impact, applicable conditions and other aspects, thus to recommend the suitable type of the river bank for this project. 7.3.2.3 Environmental impact analysis of Caoshan Mount vegetation restoration Page 179 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 179/335 Caoshan Mount is brown granite soil and the pH value is 7.In 1962, we conducted the artificial reforestation, in 1969, the forest is basically closed, with the forest area of 2064 acres, the average height of the tree is 4 meters and the wood reserve of 4,500 m2. The specie of the man-made forest is single, the pure forest is more while the mixed forest is less, usually is the mixed by the black pine & masson’s pine with black locust & sawtooth oak, so the biodiversity is quite poor. As the Caoshan Mount is next to the Longzi Lake landscape, which is very suitable for the survival, habitat and reproduction for various species, the project is intended to renovate and restore the vegetation of Caoshan Mount, then select the appropriate tree species to increase the vegetation coverage and the biodiversity. The restoration project of Caoshan Mount vegetation will not have the negative impact on the environment and its environmental impact is mainly reflected in the improvement of ecological environment: 1. Restore and renovate the mountain vegetation of Caoshan Mount, so as to achieve the more biodiversity and form a reasonable biological chain, further to play the regulation function of the biological components to the environmental quality, finally to play an important role to keep the ecological balance. 2. The restoration of the mountain vegetation will also increase the area of vegetation and biological components greatly, provide the adequate oxygen source to the city, purify the environment and regulate the climate. 3. Caoshan Mount is an important component of Longzi scenic, the restoration and renovation of the Caoshan Mount vegetation can attract the organisms for survival, habitat and reproduction here, which will have the greater upgrade role of the Longzi Lake scenic landscape. However, the choice of the planning tree species is very significant for the entire project. The choice of the tree species shall start from the ecological benefits of the vegetation, mainly focus on the restoration of the local vegetation and introduction of the alien suitable species as the supplement. The choice of tree species shall pay attention to the following points : 1. According to the soil conditions and site conditions, select the appropriate vegetation to full play the ecological and landscape functions. 2. The tree species shall choose the appropriate native tree species, because the native trees has interacted with the surrounding environment for many years and has achieved the basic harmony with the environment finally. Meanwhile, please select the tree species with anti- pollution, anti-insect, sterile resistance and high survival rate as far as possible, with the attention to the combination of the broad-leaved tree species and conifer tree species. 3. Caoshan Mount shall set the fire buffer zone, plant the fire-resistant trees, then in the event of the forest fires, they can slow the spread of the fire and mitigate the losses. 7.3.3 Sound environmental impact analysis Page 180 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 180/335 7.3.3.1 Tianhe drainage pump station During the operation of the Tianhe drainage pump station, the noise mainly comes from the running noise of the pump motor and the air compressor system, wherein the noise source intensity of single pump unit is 75-85dB (A) generally; the main device of the air compressing system in the main pump house is the air compressor, whose noise source intensity is 85-95 dB(A), while the indoor reverberation noise is 90-100dB (A). There are five axial flow pumps in Tianhe drainage pump station, for the single unit, calculate by five pumps at most at the same time and use the sound source superposition formula to calculate the source intensity. Superposition formula to calculate several sound sources: ) 10 lg( 10 1 1 . 0 å = = n i Lpi P L Of which: L Ptotal ——Sound pressure level at one sound receptive point, dB(A); L pi ——Sound pressure level at i sound source to the sound receptive point, dB(A); n——Total number of the sound sources. When five pumps running together, the noise source intensity is 92 dB (A), the noise impact of the pumps and the air compressor running will use the point source attenuation formula to predict.

The prediction results of the pump running noise impact are shown in Table 114. Table 114: Prediction results of Tianhe drainage pump station’s noise Page 181 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 181/335 Influential distance(m) Background value dB(A) Superposition value dB(A) Noise source Source intensity dB(A) Daytime Nighttime Influential value at 80m from the pump station Daytime Nighttime Daytime Nighttime Water pump unit 92 71 224 53.9 54.0 54.0 Main pump house 80 18 56 41.9 38.4 36.6 43.5 43.0 Class I of Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area : Daytime 55dB(A), Nighttime 45dB(A) From the prediction results in the table, we can see that: The influential distance of the Tianhe drainage pump station running noise is 224m at nighttime and 71m at daytime; the influential value at 80m from the pump station is 54 dB (A), which meets the daytime sound environmental standard, but exceeding the standard at nighttime. The main sensitive points of the surrounding environment during the operation of the Tianhe drainage pump station are the Xuying Country at 500m southeast and the Production & living Management Area of Tianhe drainage pump station (located at nearly 80m northeast of the main pump house), which indicates the operation of the Tianhe drainage pump station will not cause the noise impact to the Xuying Country’s environment, but will make some noises to the workers of the living management area during the nighttime. But Tianhe drainage pump station will only be used during the flood season, the noise pollution is a short-term, temporary influence, with the little impact to the employees of the Drainage Pump Station. 7.3.3.2 Longzi Lake drainage pump station After the completion of the Longzi Lake drainage pump station, the noise mainly comes from the running noise of the pump motor and the air compressor system, wherein the noise source intensity of single pump unit is 75-85dB (A) generally; the main device of the air compressing system in the main pump house is the air compressor, whose noise source intensity is 85-95 dB(A), while the indoor reverberation noise is 90-100dB (A).

The prediction results of the pump station running noise impact are shown in the following Table 115: Table 115: Prediction results of the Longzi Lake drainage pump station’s noise Influential distance(m) Background value dB(A) Superposition value dB(A) Noise source Source intensity dB(A) Daytime Nighttime Influential value at 70m from the pump station Daytime Nighttime Daytime Nighttime Water pump unit 92 71 224 55.1 60.8 55.5 Main pump house 80 18 56 43.1 59.4 44.4 59.5 48.0 Class I of Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area : Daytime 55dB(A), Nighttime 45dB(A) From the prediction results in the table, we can see that: If not consider the environmental background noise, the influential distance of the Longzi Lake drainage pump station running noise is 71m at daytime and 224m at nighttime. The influential value of the water pump units to the Xingfu Country is 55.1 dB(A) and the influential value of the main pump house is 43.1 dB (A).Because the background noise of Xingfu Country is higher, so the noise after the superposition of the running noise of the Longzi Lake drainage pump station and its background noise is over the standard. Page 183 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 183/335 From the above results, the operation of the pump station will cause the adverse impact to the sound environment of Xingfu Country. However, the pump station will only be used during the flood drainage, so its impact to the surrounding sound environment is short-term. In addition, this project is under the most adverse circumstance of five pumps running at the same time, therefore, in the actual operating circumstances, the influence extent and scope will be less than the prediction results of this report. 7.3.3.3 Noise prediction of Huaishang Binhe Ave. \1a\11ffi\11ffi\11ffi\11fi\033UHGLFWLRQ\03SDUDPHWHUV\03 The proportional allocation of the road large, medium and small vehicles is 8%, 30% and 62% respectively, while the traffic volume ratio of the daytime to the nighttime is 0.75: 0.25.The road prediction parameters are shown in Table 116. \1a\11ffi\11ffi\11ffi\11ffl\033UHGLFWLRQ\03PRGHO\03 Use the road noise prediction model of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to predict the road traffic noise.

Dredging sludge will be placed at three stack fields on the south shore of the Longzi Lake, after the sludge dry, it will be used for the construction of the coastal vegetation. Table Table 118 shows the comparison results of the Longzi Lake dredging sludge composition with the Soil Environmental Quality and Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use. From the table, we can see that, the dredging sludge of the South River can meet the Grade III standard of the soil and the quality of soil will not harm or pollute the plants and the environment. The sediment can also meet the requirements of Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use, thus can be used as the farm soil. So after the sludge dry, it can be used for the ecological landscape construction and will not adversely affect the vegetation.

After the completion of the stack field transportation and spread, we will plant trees or create the landscapes according to the actual situation; the surface soil is the dredging sediment, whose soil feature value will be decided by the sediment. Because the land use pattern has been changed, the original farm or fish ponds will be transformed into the landscape green spaces, not as the agricultural productive land, so it will not cause the harm to the human health. 7.3.4.2 Analysis of disposal way of Xijiagou dredging sludge Xijiagou dredging project has Baligou and Xijiagou such two dredging rivers, with a total length of 11km. Wherein, upstream river at the south of Yanshan Road, Xijiagou is 6.2km, while the river at the south of Tushan road, Baligou is 4.8km.The excavation along the project is 437,600 m2 in total and the fill is 170,000 m2. Of which, the excavation of Xijiagou project is 375,100 m2 and the excavation of Baligou project is 52,500 m2. Baligou project includes the flood control construction, it shall fill up the beach land to 23.5m of the designed height, thus the fill is about 170,000 m2. The generated sludge of Xijiagou dredging river will be placed nearby. Wherein, the sludge since Yanshan Road to the Southern wall of Naval Academy will be abandoned at the eastern coast and the rest will be placed on both sides of the ditch. The designed height of the mounded soil is 2.0m, the slope is 1:3, the width of the mounded soil will depend on the soil amount of the section, leave the beach land with 10m width between the mounded soil and the mouth of the ditch. The sludge of Baligou project will be placed nearby and used as the fill for flood control project. \1a\11ffi\11ff\11ffl\11fi\03(QYLURQPHQWDO\03LPSDFW\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03VOXGJH\03GLVSRVDO\03 Some houses of the surrounding residents are close to the river at the Yinhe Bridge, Yanshan Road, Xijiagou, therefore the dredging project will have some impact on the residents living nearby. The water content of the dredging sludge is high, if placed at the shore, it will have the leachate, especially on the rainy days, the leachate may be washed into the river, thus affect the water quality of the water body. If the muddy water is washed into the urban roads, it will also affect the sanitation of the surrounding roads. The placed sludge at the shore, after the dry, the sludge is apt to generate the dusts through the vehicles driving. Because of the numerous emissions of the living sewage and industrial wastewater in the river, as well as the piled living garbage, the stack field for dredging sludge will have the foul smell, especially in the summer, which mainly dues to the rot of the living garbage. \1a\11ffi\11ff\11ffl\11ffl\037KH\03UHDVRQDEOH\03DQDO\VLV\03RI\03WKH\03VOXGJH\03GLVSRVDO\03PHWKRG\03 The dredging sludge shall be internal used of this project, to keep the earthwork balance, so as to reduce the volume of sludge dump and outer transportation, further to mitigate the adverse environmental impact of the dredging sludge. Page 187 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 187/335 The residents and the enterprises at the both shores of Xijiagou set the pollution discharge outlet privately, the living sewage was discharged into the river without any treatment, as well as the piled garbage along the both shores, which seriously affect the surrounding environment of Xijiagou. At present, there is serious sediment in the river, the surface sludge has the higher nutrient content which affected by the discharge of the surrounding production wastewater, living sewage and the dump of the living garbage. Compared with the background values of Anhui Province, the mercury content in the sediment of Xijiagou and Baligou is 2.2~2.9 times of the soil background value of Anhui Province, which mainly because of the discharge of the production wastewater, if the disposal is not proper, then it may cause the ecological harm to the local aquatic ecosystem. \1a\11ffi\11ff\11ffl\11ffi\036OXGJH\03KHDS\03 According to the monitoring results of Baligou and Xijiagou sediment, the monitoring sediment meets the requirements of Grade III of Soil Environmental Quality (GB15618-1995), which can be heaped up nearby, after the drying, we can plant trees above them. However, in order to avoid the heavy metal materials affecting local groundwater environment during the place of the sediments, we shall place the anti-seepage membrane below the stack field before the place of the sludge. As the surface sediment contains higher organic matters, the foul smell impact is more obvious. If want to heap up the sludge along the shore, we shall take effective measures to control foul smell pollution. z\03 Used as farmland and forest land Table 118 compares the monitoring sediment of Baligou and Xijiagou with the Grade III standard of Soil Environmental Quality (GB15618-1995) and Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use (GB4284-84).From the table, we can see that, the monitoring sediment of Baligou and Xijiagou both meet the requirements of Grade III standard of "Soil Environmental Quality" (GB15618-1995) and Control Standards for Pollutants in Sludges from Agricultural Use (GB4284-84), which shows that the dredging sludge is up to the requirement of protecting the production of farming & forestry and the normal growth of plants, as well as no harm or pollution to the plants and the environment basically. From the monitoring results of Baligou and Xijiagou sediment, we found that the organic matter content of the two rivers is relatively high, with the soil fertility is better. Therefore, the project may consider placing the dredging sludge along the spot and using the sludge as the farmland, forest land and fill. The environmental evaluation suggests using the generated sludge of Baligou dredging as the soil for green belt along Baligou.

Xijiagou dredging will generate the excavation of nearly 375,000 m2, we can consider using the better sludge at the lower as the fill for flood control project of Baligou. But before using the Xijiagou dredging sludge as the fill for flood control project of Baligou, we shall inspect the soil quality, to ensure the soil quality meet the requirement of the project. z\03 Transport to refuse landfill As some districts of Xijiagou, the surface has the mixture of the living garbage and construction wastes, so it can not be used as the fill or agricultural soil. Moreover, the surface sediment has higher organic matter content, which will have a more obvious foul smell, therefore it is unsuitable to place along the shore and need to transport to the refuse landfill for sanitary landfill. The Sanitary Landfill of Bengbu City located in the southern slope of Laoshaoxi, that is 1.5km northeast of the east of Lilou country, with a distance of 13km from the City’s center. Its engineering design scale is 800t / d, with the total capacity of 4 million m3. The Sanitary Landfill uses the new technology of "quasi-aerobic landfill", that is after the transportation of the garbage, it will conduct the earth covering and rolling. Till the landfill to the designed height, it will conduct the medium-term covering and closure. We shall plant the grass or shallow-rooted plants on the final coverage soil. The garbage leachate uses the anaerobic lagoon treatment process. After the anaerobic lagoon treatment and the leachate achieved the Grade III standard of 6WDQGDUG\03IRU\033ROOXWLRQ\03&RQWURO\03RQ\03WKH\03 /DQGILOO\036LWH\03IRU\03'RPHVWLF\03 :DVWH (GB16889-1997), transport it to the First Sewage treatment plant of Bengbu City for centralized treatment. The Sanitary Landfill of Bengbu City was completed at the end of September, 2004, with the service life of 16 years. According to the disposal scale of the refuse landfill, it can receive part of the generated dredging sludge which contains the living garbage and the construction wastes. To avoid generate the leachate during the transportation of the dredging sludge to sanitary landfill, and have the adverse environmental impact along the way, the dredging sludge shall be natural dried before the transportation to the landfill. \1a\11ffi\11ff\11ffl\11ff\03&RQFOXVLRQ\03 Page 189 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 189/335 Summarizing the above analysis, as the surface sludge of Xijiagou is affected greatly by the discharge of the living garbage, construction wastes and living sewage, this report recommend that, the surface sludge of Xijiagou which doped with the living garbage and construction wastes is not suitable for place on spot or reuse, which shall be sent to the Sanitary landfill for sanitary landfill. Lower soil is better, the dredging soil which meets the requirements of the fill can be used as the fill for flood control project of Baligou. The remaining part can be placed at both sides of the ditch, we shall place the anti-seepage membrane below the stack field before the place of the sludge, after the completion of the deposition, plant the vegetation to reduce soil erosion on the above of the dredging yard. 7.3.4.3 Analysis of sludge disposal of Mohekou sewage treatment plant The main solid wastes of sewage treatment plant are composed of grille residual, grit chamber sediment, dewatering sludge and the living garbage of the workers, under certain temperature and humidity, especially in the hot weather, these substances are apt to decay and stink by the microbial function, wherein the dewatering sludge has the largest impact on the surrounding environment, whose main characteristics are: High water content ( 80 ),easy to lose; Fine particles and poor water permeability; Easy to become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and thus become the spread source of the diseases; Easy to generate the leachate, once the water pollutants enter into the water body, they will pollute the surface water and groundwater. The generated volume of the solid wastes of the proposed project during the operation period is shown in Table 120. Table 120: Emissions of main solid wastes of sewage treatment plant Name of project Type of solid waste Discharge amount Water content Grille residual 1.8m 3 /d 85 90 Grit chamber sediment 0.9m 3 /d 60 Residual sludge 14.3m 3 /d 75 Sewage treatment plant Living garbage 30kg/d — 1. Environmental impact of the sludge dewatering Generally, it need to concentrate before the sludge dewatering, the concentrated tank often emit the foul smell, especially in the hot summer, there is often floating sludge on the pool surface, which is very easy to breed the mosquitoes. Page 190 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 190/335 After the concentration, during the sludge dewatering, the dewatering room will emit the foul smell; if there is any leakage during the operation of the sludge dewatering, it will cause the environmental pollution. 2. Environmental impact of the sludge dump process The dewatering sludge shall be clean and transported in time, for the sludge which can not be timely removal, it shall have the temporary storage place. The dewatering sludge will form the muddy when meet with the water, with the good mobility and easy to lose; by the rainwater washing, the leachate will contain lots of pollutants to pollute the ground surface and groundwater bodies. Therefore, the dewatering sludge can not be placed at ease, we shall set up the temporary stack field after the special treatment and have the anti-seepage layer, as well as adding the awning; In addition, the dewatering sludge is not completely stable, so the long-term storage of the sludge will have the anaerobic digestion. The generated stench of H2S and other materials will affect the air quality; the dump place of dewatering sludge is a also a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which have the adverse impact to the sanitation. Given the above reasons, the dewatering sludge shall be timely removed, avoid piling up in the factory. 3. Environmental impact of the sludge transportation Despite the sludge has been treated within the factory at varying degree, but the sludge still have some harmful pollutants. The sludge of the sewage treatment plants of this project just through the concentration and dewatering treatments, which can not achieve the requirements of stable and harmless, the sludge contains large amounts of the corruptive organic matters and other pathogenic microbes, such as Escherichia coli, eggs of ascarid. Therefore, the environmental problems during the transportation of sludge are very important. Currently, the main transportation of sludge is the vehicle-transporting. If the vehicle body and the wheels contaminated by the sludge during the loading and unloading process, or the closeness function of the vehicle is not good, then the vehicle will leak the sludge around the sewage treatment plant or along the road, which will create the pollution to the road. The transport mode of the sludge shall stop the phenomenon of cross-flow of muddy water and the foul smell. Sewage treatment plant shall use the closed special vehicles, which can prevent the leakage of water, the leakage of soil and its disturbance. Meanwhile, the sludge transportation time shall be strictly controlled, avoid the peak traffic times as far as possible. In short, the transportation of sludge is a problem that can not be ignored, it must be taken seriously. 4. Disposal method of the sewage treatment plant’s sludge The sludge is a product during the sewage treatment process, it is an important component of the sewage treatment, the aim of the sludge treatment it to reduce the water content of the sludge and sludge volume, so as to achieve a stable state, and create the conditions for Page 191 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 191/335 further disposal and comprehensive utilization, the general process is "concentration- dewatering -disposal" or "concentration –digestion –dewatering -disposal." According to the feasibility study of the project, due to the sewage treatment process of this project uses the biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal process, the sludge age is longer, the sludge state is more stable, can not carry out the nitrification treatment, but if use the nitrification treatment, we shall increase a series of structures and equipments of the digestion pool, heating, mixing and marsh gas handling etc., at the same time, it need to increase the investment, for the land area of the sewage treatment plant in the park is limited, so it can not construct the nitrification treatment system for the sludge. According to the analogy information, the sludge component of the sewage treatment plant has some relationship with the water quality of the treated sewage. For the sewage treatment plant which mainly treats the industrial wastewaters, the components of its residual sludge will have higher content of the heavy metals, which is far beyond the standard of agricultural sludge; therefore, this environmental evaluation recommends not to use the sludge as the farmland fertilizer, but to conduct the safe landfill disposal. 5. Disposal of the grille residual and sediment The grille residual and grit chamber sediment are both the garbage of the sewage treatment plant, must be collected, stored and transported properly. Recommend to be transported to the refuse landfill together with the living garbage. The specific storage, packaging and transportation etc. must be in accordance with the relating provisions strictly. Although its generated volume is not big, but if ignore it, it will cause harm to the environment. The light waste plastic bags and other packaging will wind waft around the sewage treatment plant; the sediment or the floating sediment must be removed timely, otherwise they will stink, decay and breed the mosquitoes. 6. Environmental impact of disposal of living garbage The proposed sewage treatment plant will generate less living garbage, it can be cleaned and transported along with the grille residual and grit chamber sediment, no need to treat alone. But the clean and transport must be timely, otherwise, the long-term storage will make the garbage dump become the breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which also have the adverse impact to the plant sanitation. The clean and transport process shall also be in line with the health and safety procedures strictly, avoid spill and disturbance along the road, thus cause the pollution on the environment. 7. Summary of refuse landfill The Sanitary Landfill of Bengbu City located in the southern slope of Laoshaoxi, that is 1.5km northeast of the east of Lilou country, with a distance of 13km from the City’s center. Its engineering design scale is 800t / d, with the total capacity of 4 million m3. The Sanitary Landfill uses the new technology of "quasi-aerobic landfill", that is after the transportation of the garbage, it will conduct the earth covering and rolling. Till the landfill to the designed height, it will conduct the medium-term covering and closure. We shall plant the grass or Page 192 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 192/335 shallow-rooted plants on the final coverage soil. The garbage leachate uses the anaerobic lagoon treatment process. After the anaerobic lagoon treatment and the leachate achieved the Grade standard of “Standard for Pollution Control on the Landfill Site for Domestic Waste” (GB16889-1997), transport it to the First Sewage treatment plant of Bengbu City for centralized treatment. The Sanitary Landfill of Bengbu City was completed at the end of September, 2004, with the service life of 16 years. According to the disposal scale of the refuse landfill, it can receive the generated dredging sludge of this project. 7.3.5 Atmospheric Environmental Impact Analysis 7.3.5.1 Project of sewage treatment plant \1a\11ffi\11breve\11fi\11fi\030HWHRURORJLFDO\03FKDUDFWHULVWLFV\03RI\03SROOXWLRQ\03 (1) Temperature, wind direction and wind speed The evaluated district locates in the transition zone of the subtropical zone and warm temperate zone, with the four distinct seasons and a mild climate, the average annual temperature is 15.6 ; The statistical results of the meteorological information in the recent five years show that, the yearly dominant wind direction of Bengbu City is east-northeast (ENE), with the frequency of 11%, the secondly dominant wind direction is northeast (NE) and east (E), with the frequency of 8%.Due to the impact of the seasonal weather, the wind direction and frequency present the different characteristics during the different season; the average annual wind speed is 2.73m/s, for the average wind speed in each season, the wind speed in Spring is the maximum, while in Autumn is the minimum.

If that sludge can not be temporarily transported outside, the bottom mud should be put into straw bag for storage in order to reduce the dust and odor emission; If the sludge can not be immediately cleaned and transported, the bottom mud should be put into straw bag for storage in order to reduce the dust and odor emission and avoid the impact on quality life of the residents near by; More attention should be given to personal protection of building team, inspection and rescue. River dredging should be avoided to be done in summer. 2 Prevention & Control Measures for Dusty Pollution Shall strengthen the management, construct civilizedly and load & unload building materials; wheel washing installation should be set on the exit of construction site in order to clear adhesive clay on the surface; someone is responsible for clearing the wheels and the sanitation of site access, it is prohibited to drive on the road if the wheel has the clay; paulin should be covered for the vehicles, which transport the dusty materials, such as lime, sand and gravel, cement as well as pulverized fuel ash (PFA), it is suitable not to be overloaded for assuring that the materials cannot be shattered during transportation; driving routes and time should be planed well for the purpose of avoiding to drive on sensitive area such as downtown, transportation central place and residential buildings, if the clay are shatters on Page 200 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 200/335 the road in the process of transportation, cleaning work should be done immediately in order to reduce the dust caused by transportation; as for the section with high requirements on environment, night transportation can be chosen as the case may be for cutting down the effect of the dust against the environment. Sprinkling and cleaning measures can be taken to prevent and control the dust produced from construction filed and roads. Special warehouse should be provided to pile up building materials as cement, and the shattered cement on the floor must be cleaned in time, the bag should be guaranteed against breakage during transportation and loading; the piling site for lime and sandy soil is not be in the open air as possible, if those cannot be piled up in the open air, piling up area must be away from waters, and Sprinkling and Cleaning System should be laid down in order to improve surface moisture content, in addition, someone is in charge of sprinkling and cleaning the sites not less than 2 times at daily starting and closing time, the effect of which is to control the dust; when the construction is made on the road closing to environmental sensitive areas, the frequency and amount should be increased; it is required that one sprinkler can be prepared for the construction site of each sub-project. According to relevant investigation, it is shown that main dust of the construction filed is produced by those running transportation vehicles, approximately accounting for 60% of total dust and relating to driving road and speed. Generally, under the effect of natural wind, the scope impacted by the dust produced by construction sites and roads is within 100m. If 4 5 times of daily sprinkling and cleaning works for dust-control are made, polluting distance caused by the dust can be reduced to 20-50m; sprinkling and cleaning can reduce 70 80 of the dust, however, if the sprinkling is made after cleaning work has been done, under such case, dust-control efficiency can reach more than 90 , please see the following table. Table 128: Test Results for Sprinkling & Dust-Control on Construction Site Distance (m) 5 20 30 50 100-150 Without Sprinkling 10.14 2.89 1.15 0.86 0.61 TSP mg/m 3 Average discharge Concentration by Hour Sprinkling 2.01 1.40 0.67 0.27 0.21 Hardening treatment must be made on construction site floor, conditionally, concrete terrace can be adopted. The selected construction unit should have certain power and capability, merchantable plant- mixing cement and closed transport vehicle are adopted, especially for the urban areas where environmental sensitive point are concentrative comparatively, at the same time, Cement Mixing Station should be built at construction sits, and merchantable cement should be used. As for temporary and odd Cement Mixing Fields, it should make the best of being away from residential buildings when selecting factory sites. Shall strengthen the management on landfill earthmoving site and to regulate the measures such as earthmoving surface compaction, regular spraying and coverage; wasted Page 201 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 201/335 soil and construction waste are not suitable to be piled up for a long time, so it should be collected and transported to low-lying lands for filling disposal appointed by municipal management authority or delivered to garbage landfill field to make appropriate disposal. After finishing the usage for temporary land, vegetation on such land should be restored immediately for the conservation of soil against erosion. The major Construction of Urban Sewage Pipe Network and enclosure pipeline for water source are made at the urban areas with comparative dense population, if there are many residential points near by and other environmental sensitive targets, and there are environmental sensitive targets within 200m on construction site, under such condition, the shield should be set up around there. There are environmental sensitive points within 50m on the way of Wuhe County’s large furrow, so when construction is operated on this section, clean and available shield should be set around there. The bottom mud which is cleaned out from flood control ditch and reservoir of Huairou County, should be possible to be used for firming side ditch and restoring vegetation. The cleaned out life sewage should be sent to Garbage Landfill Field for reducing the time of site storage. In the process of cleaning the garbage, masking work should be done in order to prevent leakage and falling on the way. When dredging sludge is stacked along the ditches in the process of drying, it should be tamped in time and the vegetation should be planted to restore Ecology and prevent dried sludge from producing secondary dusty pollution. 3 Vehicle Exhaust The reduction of pollution load is the fundamental way to handle the problem of air pollution, transport vehicle and construction machinery with fuel burning shall make use of qualified lead-free gasoline, inferior oil is prohibited. Daily maintenance and regular inspection to fuel burning machinery should be strengthen, engine should operate under normal and good state; at the same time, tail gas emission purifier should be installed to make tail gas reach discharge standard. Transport management should be reinforced, and spot check is made on tail gas emission certificate, the vehicle with tail gas over standard is forbidden to drive on the road. Greenbelt management at both side of the streets should be strengthen. The plants as arbor and frutex available for absorbing the pollutants in tail gas and lawn are planted at both sides in order to prevent exhaust gas from spreading surrounding environments. Normally, adsorptive capacity of evergreen broad-leaved forest is stronger than deciduous forest and coniferous forest. 4 Others: During construction period, the wasted building materials are not allowed to be reused as fuel. Works canteen should use Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Electric Cooking Utensils, and Oil Cooking Utensils are prohibited. Page 202 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 202/335 8.1.2 Prevention & Control Measures for Noise Pollution From the analysis for the noise impact in construction period, we can see that the production of the noise is inevitable, the noise will be accompanying with the construction sites, and the noise from construction site will have great impact on surrounding environment. The places of subproject all have the distribution of sensitive point. According to Clause 22 of Noise Limits for Construction Site GB12523-90 ,the subprojects must carry out the said standard on surrounding boundary in the process of construction in order to reduce and get rid of noise impact to near sensitive point. From predicated results we know that the noise produced in the period of construction is over the standard regulated in Noise Limits for Construction Site. Try to prevent pollution, project construction and construction unit shall adopt relevant Prevention & Control Measures for Noise and reduce noise impact to environment to a great extent. In the process of actual construction, Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Pollution and local regulations for Prevention and Control of Pollution from Environmental Noise shall be implemented strictly. 1 Reasonable Arrangement for Construction Time Scientific construction plan shall be formulated in order to avoid the usage of high-noise equipments at the same time as possible; in addition, construction time for high-noise equipments shall be arranged at daytime to reduce night construction. Within 100m away from the section of construction site, where has environmental sensitive points, it is prohibited to operate with high noise and high vibration equipments at noon or at night. When construction is made near school and hospital, scientific construction plan shall be formulated, and construction unit shall consult with them for using time of high noise equipments, as for the school, it try to arrange the operation at weekend or out of class in order to avoid the impact on normal class. 2 Reasonable Layout for Construction Site Reasonable arrangement shall be made for construction site, and high noise equipments shall be away from noise sensitive points as for specific construction site, which are impacted seriously, shall adopt temporary sound proof enclosing structure, or it is considered to build temporary workers barrack near sensitive points to replace the function of sound insulation wall, earth working project shall try to arrange several sets of equipments to operate at one time to reduce impact period. Fixed vibrated source of construction site is comparatively concentrated to reduce the scope of vibration interruption. The transport vehicle for construction is arranged to the side away from residential area when accessing the yard. The reduction for traffic noise on construction: Due to great impact of transportation on environment during construction, so it is necessary to reduce transportation volume at night and limit speed of large truck, and the accession of residential area shall have speed limit .In addition, transport vehicle shall make regular repair and maintenance and cut down or stop whistle, and transportation routes shall be arranged reasonably. Page 203 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 203/335 3 Reduction of Equipment Noise Level On the selection of types, low noise equipments or the equipments with sound insulation and noise elimination equipments, such as hydraulic machinery instead of fuel burning machinery, and high frequency adopted for vibrator, above described equipments shall be used. Compare to other vehicles at same level, the noise level of low noise transport vehicle is lower 10 15dB A on running processes, as for excavator and stirrer in different types, there is difference of 5dB A for noise level. Fixed mechanical equipments and excavating as well as earthmoving, such as excavator, bulldozer, ect, can reduce their noise through noise silencer of exhaust ducting and the separation of engine’s vibrating parts. The noise level of mechanical equipment will be increased on operation for the vibration of loosing parts or the damage of silencer, therefore, inspection, repair and maintenance shall be made for mechanical equipments, and the equipments should keep lubricating and each part shall be fixed to reduce vibrated noise on operation. Integral equipments shall be put firmly to keep good contact with the floor. Conditionally, vibration-absorbing base should be adopted to reduce the noise. Laid up facilities should be closed immediately, and transport vehicle shall slow down and cut down whistle. As for prefabricated components, such as bridge and storage gate, are tried to make at suitable site and transport to construction site for field assembly. 4 Reduction of Man Made Noise Machineries are operated as per regulations, and operating regulations should be abided by in the process of disassembling guard and bracket to reduce noise from collision. Whistle and bell are used less as possible in conducting operation, but state of the art equipments are adopted. 5 Establishment of Temporary Sound Barrier As for machineries with relevant fixed place, machineries should try to access into in if those can be done in shed; if not, sound barrier of single side is established within 30m away from sensitive point. In addition to above mentioned noise reduction measures, construction unit should set up good community relation with surrounding units and residents, as for the units and residents disturbed by construction unit, notice should be given to that unit prior to operation, the construction unit shall report their construction schedule and adopted measures to reduce noise in order to obtain mutual understanding. In accordance with the regulations in “Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Pollution from Environmental Noise”, if the noise still cannot meet regulated limits after adopting noise reduction measures, construction unit should make apology and appropriate compensation to the organizations or individual impacted by the noise. Page 204 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 204/335 Adoption of Individual Protection Measures: Personal noise protection apparatus is the main protection measures adopted by individual. As for constructers, who are working near high noise equipments, can adopt assemblage and use noise protection apparatus such as earplug, earphone and noise protection helmet, ect. In addition, Complaint call should be set up during construction period to accept and positively handle customers’ complaint on noise Disturbance. 8.1.3 Prevention & control measures for solid wastes 1 Prevention & Control Measures for Dredged Spoil and Desilting as well as Dredging Sludge Dredging soil and construction wastes are reclaimed at appointed place required by municipal and planning authority; construction unit must go through formalities on the discharge of dredged spoil and sludge according to regulations and sanitary landfill is made on appointed accepted place upon approval, meanwhile, the disposal facilities for leachate should be well-managed and reach the standard of discharge. If the acceptable capacity for filling place is limit, it is suggested that construction unit comprehensively use part of bottom mud, such as on paving the roads, making tiles and so on, in this way, Bricks and Tiles Plant can avoid and reduce the damage against farmland caused by borrowing the soil, and the realization of diversified investment promotes comprehensive improvement of river cause. Bottom mud should be monitored prior to comprehensive utilization, if it is found that the heavy metal in the bottom mud is over standard, such mud shall be delivered to garbage landfills to make sanitary disposal and not allowed to make comprehensive utilization. It is try to make internal earthwork balance of the project; dredged sludge can be piled up at both sides along large furrow, dredged spoil are used at filling area of the levee of Huaibei and for earthwork balance of piling up area; if the surface is polluted seriously, it is considered to deliver them to landfill space, but dewatering should be done at banks, hermetically sealed tank car is adopted for transportation. For example, part of sludge produced by construction in Huairou County can be used to reinforce the slope of flood control ditch and the embankment of dew pond at original place and dredged spoil can be used for other works in this way, the comprehensive utilization for the resources is realized. As for dredging sludge caused from Wuhe County can be piled up at both sides along large furrow, and dredged soil is used for the landfill of the works in Industrial Parks. The bottom mud dug out from Tianhe fishing ground in rive area should try to be used as soil for surrounding gardens and low lying place landfill. Before clearance and dredging sludge are used comprehensively, according to actual requirements, bottom mud are monitored at selective points, if it is found that there is the heavy metal in the soil or the heavy metal in the bottom mud is over standard, such soil shall not be used for cropper, which is directly edible for human being. Page 205 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 205/335 2 Prevention & Control Measures for Construction Wastes The wasted sands and stone, building materials, steels and packing materials are managed and recollected by a person in charge to save the resources, after completion of construction, construction sited should be cleared in time, it is prohibited to pile up building wasted materials to affect city appearance and environmental sanitary. Building garbage as the tiles can be disposed by general storage method, however, the garbage must be finally sent to appointed disposal site. Fully enclosed construction is adopted to control the pollution and effect within the scope of construction site during construction period and reduce the impact against surrounding environments as possible. And Barricading Piling Method is adopted to dispose dusty wastes When delivering bulk and wasted materials, the transport vehicles must load appropriately, paulin or enclosed vehicle is adopted; outer clearance should be made well before starting to work at construction site, and shattering along the road should be prevented to avoid the effect on the landscape and sanitary; the materials transportation made by construction vehicles should try to be kept away from sensitive points of rush-hour traffic and driver on appointed section, meanwhile, relevant appropriate prevention & Control measures are adopted to cut down traffic pressure of the materials transportation and the leakage of the materials, it is possible to cause secondary dusty pollution. It is prohibited to pile up engineering materials as sands and stone at peripheral lakes and rivers, meanwhile, engineering wastes and life sewage as well as piling site for wastes and storage point for garbage all should be away from water surface setup of lake and river. The mud shattered on construction site and detour should be cleared in time in order to prevent soil hardening from solidification and avoid the impact on the factory and road flat; Clearance and transport should be made for all kinds of garbage at construction site. 3 Prevention & Control Measures for Life Sewage at Construction Site and Other Solid Wastes Temporary garbage dumping point is set up at construction sits, life sewage produced by the constructors and the garbage caused by the clearance from flood prevention ditch should be concentratively collected and piled up and transported outside in time, these garbage are not allowed to dump at periphery randomly. As for movable toilet that is set up at building camp should be regularly sanitized, and Environmental Sanitation Authority is responsible for regularly clearance and wash. Barriers in riverway and riverbeach in construction section should be cleared out before clearance and the works of flood prevention pumping station begin to operate, life sewage piled along the ditch should be transported to garbage disposal plant, and discharge outlet for life and industrial polluted water are cleared in case of being blocked; It must be assured that there are no residue left in riverway when the cofferdam are removed after finishing the construction, and all need to be clear and tidy made by the requirements. Page 206 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 206/335 Construction machinery and the vehicle must be managed strictly, it is prohibited to leak oil bearing materials and dump these wastes at random so as to avoid soil and water environment pollution. Used oil and its containers belong to hazardous wastes of “waste mineral oil”, if the waste oil is not allowed to dump at random, under such case, it should be stored in special containers and then the qualified units are entrusted to make harmless disposal for those wastes. 8.1.4 Prevention & control measures for soil erosion Before the execution of project construction, all kinds of pre-arranged planning on preventing soil erosion should be made well in order to protect and reasonably use water and land resources to a great extent. In the period of construction, the excavation for land surface is great, which produces a lot of wasted soil and seriously destroy vegetation, so if there is no appropriated measures, the soil loss will present the trend of multiply increase at the place where the project plans to be established,, therefore, strict environmental protection measures are adopted to effectively prevent the occurrence of soil erosion; on temporary occupying areas, the occupying time should be reduced as possible and the occupied land should be cleared in time to restore original function of the land; .in the period of all project and within the scope if the construction, the effective management and protection measures should be taken to cut down the impact caused by oil erosion by the greatest degree. 1 Excavation during construction in period should try to avoid raining season, and daily excavation should be cleared on the day as possible, if not, daily excavated soil should be standardizedly piled up; temporary dumping sites should chose comparative flat places, and necessary facilities, such as flood prevention ditch, flood prevention pipe network or retaining wall, should be set on all sides in order to buffer and reduce the losses of wasted soil, and after finishing using the land, vegetation on such land should be restored immediately for the conservation of soil against erosion. 2 On the river side, the afforestation function to prevent soil erosion should be fully considered, especially embankment project, during construction, two sides of the dike should be covered by dustproof net, when necessary, side ditch and stagnant pool on riverway are built; reasonable stacking of the earthwork at construction site should be given more attention and keep certain distance with riverway and ditch, in addition, straw bag are piled up all around to prevent the sand from inflowing into the waters and cut down the impact of soil erosion on rivers and drainage ditches; the afforestation should be made immediately after finishing embankment . 3 There is height difference between some roads and surrounding terrain, so retaining wall is established at both sides of the roads to prevent soil erosion caused by rain wash. 4 Original landform should be maintained as possible during construction, so the reduction of fill and excavation, earthwork volume and construction cost should be made for the purpose of trying to use initial vegetation to conserve water and soil. The program should be made well for the vegetation, which must be damaged; it is forbidden to destroy the Page 207 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 207/335 plants at random in construction sites, after finishing the construction .At the same time, drainage measures in the period of construction are made well so as to avoid soil erosion caused by heavy rain. 5 The work for earthwork balance under construction are made better, and the excavated earthwork should try to be used as backfilling soil for construction site; after backfilling, the rest wasted soil produced by laying the pipeline are delivered to other construction sites (e.g. embankment, flood prevention road works, ect.) as construction fill and the land for afforestation in order to avoid unreasonable landfill. 6 the construction should not be completely expanded out to reduce the period of single project, but to be carried out in different sections and period, especially for the works of laying pipe network. Protection measures are adopted for the exposed area left by excavation, therefore, the exposure period should be cut down to reduce soil erosion. 7 The slope of the works tries to adopt grouted square turf to obtain protection or turf as protection. 8 Due to the reservoir and desilting from flood prevention ditch relating to the construction in Huairou County, the cleaned out sludge can be used for the slope of flood control ditch and reservoir according to argillaceous features, or delivered to garbage landfill field to fill. The reduction for the time of site storage is to prevent soil erosion caused by rain wash. 8.1.5 Prevention & control measures for water pollution 1 When the buildings are under construction, the construction unit should set up sedimentation tank to discharge rain sewage and water pools at construction site produced in the period of construction after all reach the standard through disposal. Piling mud should be sent to designated place by the treatment of sedimentation and drying according to the requirements of urban area management department, and it is prohibited to discharge the piling mud into around farmland or ditches, reservoirs and rivers in case of blockage of drainage channel; at the same time, it is prohibited to discharge the piling mud into municipal pipeline network to block the pipeline. 2 Storage area for construction materials should be away from surface water and set up runoff place where is not easily to be washed; in addition, storage area for powdered materials should be matched with the coverings such as straw bag and paulin and open ditch should be dug around storage area in order to prevent runoff washing . 3 Planting the lawn or installing fixed filter screen for clay can prevent soil erosion caused by the runoff of rainfall. 4 The discharge of life sewage from construction site must be uncompromisingly controlled. As for construction process presenting linear distribution just like pipeline, the builders disperse comparatively, so they should try to make use of existing life facilities near Page 208 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 208/335 construction sites. If there are no sanitary facilities, oil separator tank and septic tank should be set up at construction site for the case of temporary restaurant set up at building site. After life sewage of the builders is pretreated, it is delivered to municipal departments to regularly make spot transportation, and then these life sewage are sent to sewage treatment plant by tank car available for sewage transportation, it is prohibited to discharge at construction site. 5 Construction unit should adopt all necessary measures to prevent sewage without disposal from flowing into rivers and ditches. 6 The management on construction sites should be strengthened, the sites and landfill slope of earthwork keep plat and tidy to reduce the earthwork to enter into riverway near landfill site; the wastes at construction sites must be cleaned and transported outside in time. 7 Building materials, such as oil and chemical products, is not suitable to be filled near the rivers and waters and should keep away from rivers with temporary covered paulin to prevent them into water from washing out by gale and rainfall. Environmental management should be reinforced to avoid oil materials leakage caused by construction machineries or the dumping of oil materials into waters to produce pollution, and it is suggested that the method of vessel-receiving is adopted for oil leakage of the machineries. 8 Dredging Works: construction should be done during dry season in order to avoid the impact caused by riverway flooding; the sludge produced by riverway Dredging should be stored at least 10m away from the shore according to the requirements of works design so as to avoid the sludge flowing into the riverway through runoff; sedimentation tank is put at low lying place of construction sits, and underground infiltration pumped by sinking pump, wasted water from construction operation and life sewage of the constructors are discharged into the waters after being disposed in sedimentation tank. There is foundation trench around sludge landfill field, which connects with sedimentation tank, the remaining water caused by sludge landfill are discharged into the river at downstream for avoiding flowing into riverway or the impact on water quality and environmental sanitary at construction sits led by wanton discharge . 9 Flood Prevention Control for Tianhe: Construction should be done during dry season, and the construction period should be reduced in order to avoid the impact caused by riverway flooding. At construction sits of Tianhe Pumping Station, sedimentation tank is put at low lying place, and operating waste water of the construction, such as water building pit infiltration pumped by sinking pump, waste mud water, waste water contained oil, should be given priority to be reused at construction site after being disposed through sedimentation tank and grease trap, these disposed water are adopted as operating water and sprinkling to control dust in order to reduce discharge volume of waste water. The construction waste water and life sewage must reach Grade I Standard before being discharged into the Huaihe River. Side ditch for drainage must be set there when perimeter irrigation station and fishing ground of the Tianhe River are reconstructed, and sedimentation tank is put at low lying place away from the Tianhe River, after being disposed through oil separator sedimentation Page 209 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 209/335 tank, waste water caused by construction should meet water operation requirements specified in “Standard for Irrigation Water Quality” and is discharged into the ditches of perimeter farmland, and it is prohibited to discharge those waste water into the Tianhe River directly. Dredging and excavating works for the bed need to done when reconstructing pumping station and fishing ground, the cleaned out sludge should be stored away from the shores in case of sludge and rainfall in storage filed flowing into the rivers; drainage ditches are set around the area for piling the mud, and project engineering wastewater is disposed at sedimentation tank that is set up at low lying place and flows into peripheral ditches in order to avoid engineering wastewater flow into the Tianhe River or the Huaihe River or directly into farmland soil. 10 Water Environment Protection Measures for the Longzi Lake In order to guarantee that dredging project engineering wastewater of the Longzi Lake reaches the standard, environmental monitoring plan regulated as per this report must be followed strictly, engineering wastewater quality are monitored at discharge outlet of sedimentation tank. Once it is found that water quality is over standard, engineering measures should be adopted to adjust the amount of medicine and increase staying time of engineering wastewater in order to ensure effluent water quality. In order to avoid occurrence of leakage accidents on mud Conveyance Pipe in the process of transporting bottom mud to storage filed after dredging and excavating, several aspects should be controlled strictly, such as the selection of pipe materials, pipe installation g and so on. In the process of pipeline operation, daily maintenance and visitatorial inspection should be strengthen in order to find and handle possible leakage accidents and avoid the impact of pipeline breakage or mud leakage on water quality of Longzi Lake. In order to guarantee that there is no appreciable adverse effect on water quality of the Longzi Lake caused by landfill wastewater, during its initial engineering period, settling time should be assured not less than 48 hours, and in the latter period, Medicine Adding Settlement Promoting Method is adopted to guarantee that engineering wastewater reach the standard for discharge. During the period of hydraulic fill at storage field, special person is responsible for visitatorial inspection to low reclamation dam in order to find and handle possible leakage accidents caused by collapse and avoid the sludge flowing out into the waters or farmland leading to secondary pollution. Distinct warning sign should be put around storage field for avoiding man made breakage on low reclamation dam or occurrence of the dangers caused by the strangers entering into the storage field by mistake. There is a small life sewage integrated treatment facility at construction site of the Longzi Lake Flood Prevention Pumping Station, life sewage of the constructors reaches Grade I Standard of Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard after being disposed and then are discharged into the Longzi Lake. As for construction site of dredging engineering, life sewage Page 210 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 210/335 produced by the constructors is little, and it is allowed not to build sedimentation tank, life sewage is discharged into storage sedimentation tank, and it mixes with dreading wastewater and then they are discharged together after being disposed. There is a sedimentation tank at construction site of the Longzi Lake Flood Prevention Pumping Station, after underground water at construction site is pumped into sedimentation tank, and then that water will be discharged into the Huaihe River through sedimentation, in addition, operation wastewater under construction is also discharged into the Huaihe River through sedimentation. After finishing dredging engineering for Lake Bottom and dismantling construction cofferdam of the Longzi Lake Flood Prevention Pumping Station, construction site for lake bottom should be cleaned immediately, building garbage are controlled strictly to leave at lake bottom, because those left garbage will impact water quality of the Longzi Lake and sedimental environment. 8.1.6 Measures for Reliving Social Environmental Impact 1 All kinds of preparation should be made prior to construction; the contents relating to the works are investigated and understood in detail, and the preparation for emergency works should be done well cooperating with relevant authorities in advance to ensure normal state of social life. 2 In order to cut down the impact on urban residents life and transportation caused by engineering construction into minimum degree, during construction period, the driving routes for the vehicle should be determined according to uniform traffic diversion plan in order to prevent traffic jam; a notice to reassure the public is made by making use of broadcast, TV, newspaper and magazine. 3 A notice is put at construction site, it includes main contents of engineering, construction time, public acceptance for inconvenience brought by construction and states connect person as well as complaint hotlines, ect. 4 Transportation for building materials and waste earthwork should avoid the rush hours or driving at night to reduce traffic jam and the impact on resident trip. 5 Pipeline and river dredging engineering should adopt section construction, meanwhile, excavation and backfilling should be finished as soon as possible. Temporary pavement should be set, especially when the construction is carried out near public installations such as hospital, school and station, in addition, traffic warning signs are matched, and traffic polices disperse and dispatch the vehicle on the rush hours in order to ensure the smooth of pedestrian and vehicle; transportation for the materials should try to avoid rush hours so as to relief urban traffic flow pressure; when the pipelines cross through arterial road, priority will be given to pipe jacking construction for reducing the impact on transportation to a great extent. Page 211 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 211/335 6 In order to guarantee traffic smooth for the residents, clearance and transportation for industrial garage clean out of pipe network and road construction should be done immediately. 7 Low noise equipments are used for the project which must operated at night, and hanging height and direction of the construction lamps shouldn’t impact the residents’ rest at night. 8 Emergency preparation should be done in advance by relevant authorities for the occurrence of the problems impacting residential water supply and discharge during construction period, 9 According to relevant national and local resettlement policies and compensation for removal due to land expropriation, reasonable compensation and resettlement work should be made for the villagers whose lands are expropriated and houses are removed. At the same time, immigration comments should be appreciated to ensure their working and life conditions not less than current level and dwelling space is improved, in addition, residential area has complete matched public installations as school, hospital, nurseries and kindergartens, shop and transportation. 10 Administrative staff and the constructors should be further cultivated on the education and awareness for cultural relic protection. During the period of construction, once the existence of cultural relics and historic sites had been discovered, administrative staff and the constructors shall notify Cultural Relic Protection Authority in time, and then construction will go on only after those cultural relic are properly disposed. 11 After the Tianhe River’s fishing ground is demolished, its development and construction should be done according to protection program for the Tianhe River water source, at the same time, construction plan shall obtain the comment of relevant authorities on land, planning, water resources and environment protection. Development areas and land development intensity should be controlled. 12 The breadth of the roads to be built is controlled to save land occupancy, and the reduction of vehicle flowrate and traffic pressure are favorable for cutting down loss degree on road bed and surface and reducing pollution from vehicle exhaust. 13 Adverse impact on traffic will be reduced by speeding up schedule and cutting construction period. 8.1.7 Measures for Ecological Environment Protection Instantaneous changes will be brought to existing ecological landscape during the period of construction, therefore construction should be done in section and area in order to appropriately protect ecological landscape environment along the line. The following points should be paid more attention during construction: Page 212 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 212/335 1 Operating area for construction must be controlled strictly, and propaganda and education work on environment protection awareness should be enhanced for the constructors. During construction period, those deeply-excavated and high-filled road sections will destroy terrain, physiognomy, vegetation and occupy the land, and it also leads to surface exposure and alters soil structure to change ecologic structure and the function of the areas along the line, finally, the stability of ecologic system will be affected. Therefore, propaganda and education work on environment protection awareness should be enhanced for the constructors, and the constructors are forbidden to destroy the plant out of designed land. 2 The construction process for roads and pipe net work should be done according to construction stage and area, and protection measures are adopted for the exposed area left by excavation, therefore, the exposure period should be cut down to protect surface layer and the plants. As for the flowers and trees planted, in the middle and both sides of construction section, transplantation and protection work need to be done well, and is it not necessary to replant all damaged plants, but temporary transplantation. Temporary storage and protection should be made after separating the soil layer with fertility on the land surface, reclamation green measures should be adopted after completing the construction. Engineering supervisory personnel are required to strengthen the supervision on such work, therefore, such operation is one of important factors for biological diversity within the land for construction use and improving survival rate of the plants and grass within the scope of project afforestation. 3 The afforestation function to prevent soil erosion should be fully considered, under possible circumstance, afforestation should be made matching with factory green plan when one section is finished so as to reach the purpose of reducing soil erosion; turf side slope protection is a kind of engineering measures to create artificial phytocoenosis for temporary use to make the slope covered the plants quickly, the selected turf is the plant with the features of strong purifying ability, adversity resistance, easy control, high value for comprehensive use and landscape beautification available, at the same time, survival rate for the plants and good purifying effect should be guaranteed. 4 The areas that need to be removed should be constructed with order in section so as to avoid landscape confusion along the line to disturb landscape appreciation, at the same time, the shield (wood, glass, and sheet iron, ect.) can be set up as surrounding barrier to reduce landscape pollution. During the process of construction, more attention should be given to the plants such as trees and green space in adjacent area. 5 After reasonable distribution for cuts and fills is made well, piling point for wasted soil should take protective measures to avoid cutting and filling in raining period and prevent soil erosion, water pollution and blockage of drainage pipe caused by rain wash. Meanwhile, balancing of cuts and fill should try to be made better, and the excavated earthwork is used as backfilling soil for leveling off construction site; the rest wasted soil produced by construction after backfilling should be sent to filling and earth-moving area of north side of the Huaibei Embankment to make earthwork balance. Page 213 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 213/335 6 On the premise of meeting the requirements of engineering construction, flat place should be selected as temporary piling site and floor area should be save as possible, at the same time, construction schedule should be arranged reasonably. After the completion of the works, construction unit must clear construction sits in time and withdraw occupying sites, in addition, those destroyed plants should be replanted as possible to recover original ecology. 7 As for temporary occupied land in engineering construction, reclamation measures should be positively adopted after finishing the construction in order to recover agricultural production as soon as possible. 8 After the construction in piling site, which occupies flood land, is finished, grass seed should be sowed in time for afforestation in order to prevent dust caused by sludge drying and soil erosion in raining season. 9 Dredging depth should be controlled strictly for avoiding serious impact against benthic biota and root system of submerged plant in bottom sludge. 10 When bottom land training is done during reconstructing the Tianhe River fishing ground, dredging and excavating areas and acreage should be controlled strictly in order to cut down the impact and interference on ecological environment of the Tianhe River fishing ground. 11 Ecological supervising works are assumed jointly by Project Supervisory Authority and environmental protection personnel of Construction Authority, and visitatorial inspection is adopted to check the implementing conditions of ecological protection measures. 8.1.8 Prevention & Control Measures for Other Pollutions under Construction 1 During construction process, construction unit should try to make concurrent construction for those areas, where the roads and pipe networks all need to be done, in this way, roads destruction caused by the construction of pipe network can be avoided, which not only can lead to repeated construction, but produce pollution of noise, atmosphere and water against surrounding environments and bring ecological impact such as soil erosion and vegetation destruction. 2 After entering into working area, the constructors regularly choose the pesticide to kill the pests such as mosquito and fly and adopt rattrap or poison bait to kill the rats in living area. 3 Construction Management Authority should strengthen monitoring epidemic disease, make regular medical observation for the constructors and strictly follow the system of reporting epidemic diseases. Especially, the kitchen in construction site should have a complete medical examination and accept training on sanitary and anti-epidemic knowledge. In addition, prevention and treatment knowledge for frequency encountered diseases and usual illness (such as epidemic hemorrhagic fever, hepatitis and food poisoning) should be Page 214 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 214/335 widely propagated in order to enhance group’s awareness on preventing and resisting the diseases. 4 Shall protect water source and get rid of pollution, and regular examination is made on drinking water quality and migrant workers’ food in order to cut down any possible way to pollute drinking water. 8.2 Prevention & control measures for pollution under operation period 8.2.1 Prevention & control measures for atmospheric pollution 8.2.1.1 Prevention & Control Measures for Road Vehicles Exhaust Gas 1 Clean fuel (LPG)is widely popularized to reduce discharge volume of CO, THC and NO2 in vehicle exhaust. And the installation of exhaust purifier can reduce 70 of CO and 50% of NO2 in vehicle exhaust. 2 Afforestation of both side should be strengthened, the trees and grass available for absorbing pollutants in vehicle exhaust, such as arbor and frutex, are selected to be planted and their function in dust suction, noise reduction and environment beatification are given full play so as to control the spread of vehicle exhaust to surrounding environment, at the same time, the maintenance of afforestation is made well. 3 Shall strengthen monitoring on vehicle exhaust, and the automobile on the road is monitored in strict accordance with standard, those which can’t meet standard are not allowed to drive on the road in order to control discharge source 4 Shall strengthen management on the automobile to reduce vehicle idling mode and cut down the discharge of pollutants in exhaust. 5 Shall strengthen daily repair and maintenance to keep good state and reduce discharge volume of pollutants in exhaust. 6 The vehicle, the exhaust of which is over standard, should be eliminated in time. 7 Further improvement should be made on passing conditions on crossing roads, and traffic signal cycle of city sections should be set up reasonably to improve passing rate of the vehicle, reduce the phenomena of traffic jam and abate pollutants in exhaust. 8 The vehicles, which deliver the materials containing the dust, should use paulin to cover the goods, and the shatter of materials should be strictly controlled. 8.2.1.2 Reliving Measures for Odor Impact of Sewage Treatment Plant Page 215 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 215/335 1 Sanitary prevention and protection distance are set up in strict accordance with regulations, at the same time, shall guarantee that factory and surrounding living areas don’t suffered the impact of odor gas. 2 Factory afforestation should be improved and green isolation belt is set up. 3 Strict management should be made on storage, transportation and disposal process for the sludge. 4 Accidents Emergency Response System is established to prevent risk accidents. 8.2.2 Prevention & control measures for acoustic environment pollution 8.2.2.1 Prevention & control measures for flood prevention pumping station 1 High-quality low noise pumping station and air compressor are preferred in Flood Prevention Station; inlet & outlet pipeline’s size for the pump should be suitable and matching; acoustic enclosure should be set up out of air compressor, and sound insulation is realized by its internal acoustic material; flexible and elastic connection are made for inlet & outlet connecting pipeline of the pump, and pipeline support of the pump can be used as elastic bearing and pump assembly is treated as vibration insulation, such as metallic spring and robber absorber, to make shock absorbing treatment. 2 Two storied gate and window are required to be set up in equipment room of Flood Prevention Station, and there is a greenbelt with mixed trees of arbor and frutex around pumping station in order to play a role in sound insulation and noise reduction against operating noise caused by Flood Prevention Station. 8.2.2.2 Prevention & control measures for road traffic noise 1 The frequency for tracking monitoring on sensitive points near the section is one time after middle term of operating period, if the monitoring results show that the noise is over standard due to the increase of traffic volume, relocation measures should be adopted in time. It is suggested that resettlement for relocated residents be responsible for construction unit. 2 According to scientific data, sound planning and scientific layout, Planning Authority, Environmental Protection Administration and Transport Authority cooperate wholeheartedly to do a good job on urban planning and avoid occurrence of new noise sensitive point. In order to reduce possible impact led by traffic noise, it is suggested that the authority in charge should notify relevant streets, governments and Village Committee at different levels along the line in an official documents not to plan and construct school, hospital and residential area near both sides of the roads. If it must be construction within the coverage of influence, under such cases, building owners are responsible for taking measures to prevent traffic noise at their peril. Page 216 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 216/335 3 Construction quality should be controlled strictly in order to guarantee that there are no problems as sinking, crack and roughness occurred on pavement during operating period to increase driving noises. 4 Under permitted conditions, it is suggested that pavement should adopt low noise pavement, which is made of Porosity Porous Asphalt Mixture Surface, and the noise can be made reduction of 3-6 dB(A) by comparing with traditional dense aggregate pavement. 5 Shall strengthen the management on the vehicles. In the front of the hospital and kindergarten, the vehicles need to slow down and are forbidden to make tooting. 6 The trees and evergreen ornamental arbor try to planted at both sides of reconstructed and newly built road, and the grass is planted the slope of the bridge, which not only can play a role of reducing the noise, but to improve urban environment and beautify road landscape. 8.2.2.3 Prevention & control measures for noise pollution from sewage treatment plant Main noise sources of sewage treatment works are the equipment noises produced by Sewage Treatment Plant and Sewage Lifting Pump Station, including mechanical equipments such as sewage pump, blower, and the measures for preventing and controlling noises are adopted as follows: 1 Low noise blowers, sewage pumps and the others are selected. 2 Impedance complex muffler is set up at air inlet and outlet of the blowers. 3 Sound insulation room is adopted for the treatment for noise reduction, 4 As for aeration tank, the measures, such as vibration-absorption, sound insulation and underground tunnel blast, are adopted for blower house. 5 Center control monitoring room is set up in blower house control, and it is not necessary for the operators to work in blower house. 8.2.2.4 Water treatment plant Main noises of Water Treatment Plant under operation period are: blower and water pump. The noises caused by the operation of these equipments is between 80~90 decibels, and it is able to meet the requirements of Standard of Noise at Boundary of Industrial Enterprises GB12348-90 (Class III) through sound insulation and reduction. Relevant noise control and Prevention & Control Measures should be adopted in order to cut down noise impact under operation period. 1 Low noise equipments should be chosen as possible, as for the equipments with higher noise ( 75dB(A) , the measures as protective mask and insulation wall are adopted to Page 217 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 217/335 reduce noise. All equipments adopt flexible connection and vibration insulation treatment should be made well as possible to reduce the noise caused by indoor equipment operation. 2 The workers, who are working at noise environment for a long time, should be equipped with ear protector, and regular examination on their listening is made. 3 Shall strengthen equipments maintenance and management to ensure them normal operation and avoid noise pollution caused by abnormal operation. 4 Shall strengthen afforestation at open space, especially for blower house and around pump house. Open space around buildings is fully made use of, where flowers are planted, and parterre as well as greenbelt are built, in this way, a green system consists of parterre, greenbelt and avenue tree. 8.2.3 Prevention & control measures for solid wastes pollution 8.2.3.1 Prevention & control measures for solid wastes pollution at flood prevention pumping station 1 Life sewage of the management at Flood Prevention Pumping Station should be collectively stored and delivered to Environmental Sanitation Authority to transport outside for disposal. 2 Gate residue produced by inlet gate of Flood Prevention Pumping Station should be collected at designated points, after being drained, these gate residues are delivered to Environmental Sanitation Authority to transport outside for disposal, and it is not allowed to be stored near or around Flood Prevention Pumping Station. 8.2.3.2 Control measures for the sludge of sewage treatment plant 1 Sludge bulking Sludge bulking is one of more difficult problems to be solved met by Sewage Treatment Plant, and it mainly occurs at secondary sedimentation tank. Sludge bulking refers to destruct the macrostructure of sludge floc caused by overgrowth of filiform microorganism, and filamentous substances disturb the compress and Sedimentation to lead to sludge bulking on volume. In the process of sewage treatment, if the influent concentration of the sewage is very high or aeration time is short, the activated sludge process is possible to overload. The features of the sludge deterioration are having putrid flavor, presenting ascending trends of activated sludge in secondary sedimentation tank and forming foam or appearing filamentous microorganism. For miscible liquid is not easy to separated, so it will impact sewage treatment. The main measures for solving sludge bulking are as follows: Reduce reflux quantity of the sludge to remove more surplus sludge and promote the formation of fresh sludge in aeration tank; Page 218 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 218/335 Increase air supply; Make a part of sewage after sedimentation for side stream in order to reduce load; Increase chlorine in return sludge; Add hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine; Add nutriments in case of the content of nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency; Adopt step aeration as operating mode; Add the flocculants as ferric trichloride into secondary sedimentation tank; Stop temporarily to discharge digestion tank liquor to aeration tank; 2 Sludge Thickening and Dehydration Co-treatment for Primary and secondary sludge in different stages has its own advantages and disadvantages, sludge fermentation is easy to be aroused at the time of sludge thickening, but sludge fermentation has the problems on hard compression and turbidness of supernatant liquor; and it is easy for the dehydration of secondary sludge at the time of dehydration. In order to prevent sludge fermentation at the time of sludge thickening, the method of adding coagulant aid can be adopted to improve stability of the sludge. 3 Sludge, Gate residue and Sinking Slag Landfill All produced sludge, gate residue and sinking slag are delivered to garbage landfill site for sanitary landfill, and the accessing conditions for them are as follows: Require packing or container transportation for sludge, gate residue and sinking slag in order to produce secondary pollution on route; Transport implemented according to regulate time and running route After sludge, gate residue and sinking slag have entered into sanitary landfill, the following points should be made in the process of landfill: To cover the sludge with the soil day by day to prevent the production of odor and other environmental hazard; To Adopt mixing landfill for sludge and garbage favorable for anaerobic decomposition of the garbage. 4 Shall regularly monitor the soil of sludge piling site and underground water, and stop continuing to do landfill and use in case of funding pollution problems and then remedial measures are adopted to prevent expansion or transfer of the pollution. 5 Secondary pollution problems, such as air pollution and underground, should be prevented in the process of piling up and transporting the sludge. Protected special transporter is adopted for sludge transportation; meanwhile, the time of sludge transportation should be controlled strictly in order to avoid peak hours. Page 219 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 219/335 6 Regular monitoring should be made on sewage treatment plant in order to prevent secondary pollution produced by heavy metal in the sludge; and garbage landfill site should be notified immediately if it is found that the heavy metal in the sludge is over standard. Sludge and life sewage are filled separately and strict watertight measures should be done well. In addition, bottom mud leachate is delivered to sewage treatment plant for disposal, and then it is discharged after reaching the standard. 8.2.3.3 Control measures for solid wastes in water treatment plant 1 The sludge in Water Treatment Plant contains organic materials and various microelement as Ca Mg Fe, which not only can be used as the nutrients for plant growth to improve soil fertility and microbial activity of the soil so as to promote crop growth, but also solve the problem of final treatment on the sludge and use it into resource to create certain economic performance. 2 Packing materials used for life sewage and medicine should be managed separately and placed at special places in order to prevent cross contamination, and then Environmental Sanitation Authority and medicine suppliers are responsible for disposing them separately. 8.2.3.4 Control measures for solid wastes in civil engineer 1 Shall strengthen monitoring work on pollution treatment of solid wastes along the roads, relevant contents are compiled into Road Vehicles Operating Rules and Road Maintenance Rules and implemented subject to supervision of local Environmental Sanitary Authority. 8.2.4 Prevention & control measures for water pollution 8.2.4.1 Prevention & Control Measures for Water Pollution on Road and Bridge Engineering 1 The protective barrier for the section, where has canal bridge, should be reinforced, and warning sign for dangerous goods vehicle should be set up. 8.2.4.2 Prevention & control measures for water pollution on urban pipe network 1 Municipal Infrastructure Authority strictly matches the construction of drainage branch on enclosure area and discharges life sewage along the areas into closure pipeline. 2 Environmental Protection Authority in charge urges the company to make standardized construction on pollution discharge outlet, but the companied within the area of drainage works service are prohibited to discharge the pollution to surface waters. 3 It is prohibited to dump the garbage to urban surface channel and culvert, and garbage is not allowed to dump into the waters to worsen pollution or block drainage channel. Page 220 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 220/335 4 Shall strengthen the monitoring on water pollution, and regular water quality monitoring should be made for key waters, if the problems are found, please handle them immediately 5 Shall speed up the construction of Sewage Treatment Plant to guarantee the validity of urban pipe network. 8.2.4.3 Prevention & control measures for water pollution of dredging ditch 1 Shall strengthen the management along the ditches, and life sewage is prohibited to wantonly pile up so as to avoid the leachate of life sewage flowing into riverway to influence water environment on surface waters. 2 Pollution discharge outlets, which are privately set up by the companies along the line and the residents, are strictly controlled. At the same time, untreated life sewage and industrial waste water are also controlled strictly to be discharged into riverway. 8.2.4.4 Prevention & control measures for water pollution of sewage treatment plant 1 The companies with heavy pollution are reformed on the spot, and shutout, stop, merge, transform or move are carried out for those companies, which don’t meet the requirements. 2 The inflowing water quality to Sewage Treatment Plant must be controlled in order to guarantee normal operation of each Sewage Treatment Plant and make outflowing water quality meet national regulations on waste water discharge standard. 3 As for the waste water, which is discharged by the companies with great polluting load, must be first pretreated in factory, and accidents reservoir should be built to avoid producing high load shock to Sewage Treatment Plant so as to impact treatment efficiency and effluent water quality. 4 The measures for preventing the occurrence of risk accidents can be considered from the design and management, and then feasible precautions and measures for accidents can be proposed and Accidents Emergency Response System is established. 5 Shall strengthen the monitoring on water pollution, including the monitoring on inflowing and outflowing water quality, the Huaihe River water quality of discharge outlet downstream, sludge storage and groundwater environment in treatment & disposal area, ect. 6 Shall establish running management and operating responsibility system; and then staff training should be made well, in addition, technical examination file is set up, under such system, those who can’t pass technical examination are not allowed to hold a post. 7 Under occurrence of the accidents, shall guarantee the normal operation of grillage and grit channel so as to make certain reduction of SS and COD in inflowing water; meanwhile, the reasons cab be found out from main pollution source of water collecting system, and Page 221 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 221/335 relevant factories will adopt corresponding emergency measures to control discharge volume of microbial hazardous substances; if there is irresistible external cause, the conditions, such as dual –circuit power failure, unexpected natural disaster, will lead to the sewage to be discharged outside before being disposed, under such circumstance, source enterprise, in whole or in part, stops to discharge sewage to pipeline in order to make sure of safety waters function. 8.2.4.5 Prevention & control measures for water pollution of water treatment plant 1 If waste liquid is able to meet the requirements of Sewage Discharge Standard of Grade III after accepting physical and chemical examination made by the Lab of Water Treatment Plant, it can be directly discharged into municipal sewage pipe network. 2 Life sewage in the period of operation meets Grade III of Integrated Wastewater discharge Standard GB 8978-1996 after being disposed by treatment facilitates such as anaerobic tank, and then the disposed sewage inflow into urban sewage pipe network. 8.2.4.6 Measures for urban water source protection The Tianhe River as emergency water source place of urban water supply of Bengbu City, protection should be made for the Tianhe River Flood Prevention Station when it is built and put into operation. 1 Life sewage produced by the staff of the Tianhe River Flood Prevention Station flows into complete sewage treatment facilities after being disposed in anaerobic tank within living management area and then reaches the standard. 2 It is suggested that a part of waste water will be reused to the factory as the water for afforestation and road washing after carrying out life sewage treatment of Grade II, in this way, the discharge of sewage and net water use are reduced. 3 It is suggested to set up sewage collection pipe network in living management area, and the network connects with sewage treatment station. Waste water produced by washing the road still can be discharged into sewage treatment system to realize sewage zero- drainage. 4 The sewage to discharge outside must reach Grade I of “Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard”, and then lower culvert of the Tianhe River Gate is discharged into the Huaihe River, any waste water is prohibited, including water discharged into the Tianhe River by runoff erosion 5 The quality for pipeline construction should be controlled strictly so as to avoid sewage leakage or overflowing into the waters such as the Tianhe River, the Huaihe River caused by damage of sewage pipeline and the occurrence of pollution accidents. Page 222 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 222/335 8.2.5 Measures for Ecological Environment Protection 1 On the one hand, the tress within engineering construction scope will be transplanted; on the other hand, engineering construction will destroy surface vegetation within this scope and bring adverse impact on regional ecological environment. In the period of construction, original surface vegetation is destroyed by temporary project, but it will be restored after adopting some recovery measures. 2 The maintenance for road engineering and river training works should be made well, and it is prohibited to discharge hazardous substances into riverway along with drainage. 3 In the latter period of the construction and initial operating period, according to landscape design, landscape engineering will be done by implementing afforestation to the section available within the scope of land expropriation, where engineering construction will be done. 4 At both sides of the roads, those ornamental trees and shrubs, which have strong ability of resisting pollution and absorbing hazardous gas, have the function of sound elimination and dust control and possess certain visual value, are planted, in addition, those planted trees should be suitable for this area, and the mixture of arbor and frutex are planted. Dwarfing trees are planted densely at both sides of the roads, which form ornamental tree wall and is made of sound proof tree wall. 5 The road waste water not only has higher suspended matters, but contains other pollutants as petroleum; Therefore, the waste water is not allowed to be discharged into farmland soil and waters. Side ditch for drainage should be set up at roadside to collect storm water runoff and make road waste water flow into low lying land, after sedimentation, these waste-water spill into surrounding farmland and ditches to reduce the soil erosion area and the degree for both sides of the roads against pavement rainfall and cut down the volume of water and soil loss. 6 Extensive aquatic plants are cultivated and planted around the Tianhe River of rivage area, which connect with territory vegetation. In this way, diversified and abundant ecosystem is formed, which is able to cut down polluting impact caused by territory pollution source. 7 After pumping station is finished, afforestation should be made as soon as possible around the factory, at both sides of the road and empty space in order to realize the restoration of the vegetation, in addition, the slope is stable, and then the rock and surface soil are not exposed. 8 After ditch dredging engineering is finished, biological diversity in the ditch can be improved through artificially planting some aquatic plants and adding the aquatic animals as fish fry.

Preparation work should be done before dredging, including the operation of barriers clearance on River Surface and Beds, flow guide for construction and the establishment of reclamation dam at piling up site and discharge outlet. Barriers Clearance Operation is to remove the barriers available for fishing, such as deadman, bamboo rod, waste fishing net, shipwreck and submerged dike, in order to ensure the safe of dredging construction. Flow guide for construction generally can be classified into two basic methods, namely, Whole –Section Cofferdam Method and Sub-Section Method. The basic features of Whole – Section Cofferdam Method refer to that main stream channel is intercepted with one time and water flow is led to the side of outlet structure. And flow guide for Sub-Section Method is also called Sub-Section Method or flow guide in riverbed. The so-called sub section means that riverbed is formed by several dry -land building pits and is constructed sectionally. Hydro slurry unit set is adopted for construction, and the builders operate the high pressure water jet to cut off high concentration slurry, and then slurry pumping station delivers them into piling up site by soil discharging pipeline. When retention time for bottom mud at piling up site has been over designated retention time, dredging project engineering wastewater produced at upper layer is discharged from outlet structure of the piling up site. When amphibious environmental sludge clearance machine is adopted to carry out the construction, the scoop of the dredger is put on the mud layer to dig out polluted sludge, and then the slurry is formed by the mixture of soil and water, which is delivered to soil discharging pipeline by using the function of mud pumping station through dredging tube. Soil discharging pipeline can be linked to land based pipeline with surface water floating pipeline and also to downcast pipeline with by surface water floating pipeline and then to surface water floating pipeline, at last, it links land based pipeline to discharge the slurry into piling up site. The facilities at piling up site, such as reclamation dam and outlet structure, are set up and installed around selective bottom mud piling up site. The comparision for applicable conditions andadvantages & disadvantages of two dreaging methods is made as the table below: Page 234 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 234/335 Table 137: Advantages & Disadvantages Comparison for Dredging Methods Item Hydro Slurry Unit Set Amphibious Environmental Sludge ClearanceMmachine Main Machinery and Equipment Floating-body, slurry pump, high pressure water jet, pipelines and power installations Dredger, slurry pump, pipelines and positioning devices Applicable Condition Rivers and rivers with shallow water and less water volume. Larger scope of the water bodies and broader applicable conditions Energy Consumption Slurry pump and high pressure water jet consume the electricity. Slurry pump and high pressure water jet consume the electricity. Dredger consumes a lot of fuel. Work efficiency Lower efficiency, greater construction intensity and labor intensity, as well as the longer construction period. Higher work efficiency, less construction workers, as well as the shorter construction period. Early Period Preparation Need to construct by drying the ponds, thus need the flow guide before the construction. Construction for drying resertvior is not required, and flow guide is not required before construction Discharge Distance Short discharge distance Long discharge distance, with flexible discharge distance. Precision Manual control, higher precision of the depth, without the restriction of the bottom topography, the geological and surrounding environments. there is no great difference between the precision degree and hydro slurry unit set Environmental Impact ‹\03 Electricity consumption only, with fewer pollutants. ‹\03 Build the cofferdam for flow guide before the construction, so as not cause the water suspensions rise sharply. ‹\03 Less dredging works and the generated project residual water can be used for the high pressure water jet, with the less discharge volume of the residual water. ‹\03 Generate the fuel exhaust ‹\03 Less dredging works with less discharge volume of the dredging residual water. Ecological Impact ‹\03 Because of the small impact on the water quality, it has the less impact on the phytoplankton & zooplankton and fish in the water consequently. ‹\03 Less destroy to the benthic fauna and their survival environment of manual dredging. ‹\03 High precision of depth, available for the reduction of the dredging volume of the bottom mud and thecovering area in z\03 Less impact on water quality, and lighter impact on water phytoplankton and zooplankton z\03 Less impact onbenthic fauna and their survival environment z\03 High precision of depth, available for the reduction of the dredging volume of the bottom mud and thecovering area in piling up site. Page 235 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 235/335 piling up site. As a result of the thickness of the project’s pollution layer is within 0.3m, and average depth of the Longzi River is around 3m, but it is not realizable to construct with drying reservoir for huge area of river water. From the comparison made for Advantages & Disadvantages Comparison for Dredging Methods and comprehensive analysis on the construction precision, environmental impact and disposal situation of the dredging bottom mud, it is thought that the hydro slurry unit set is suitable for the construction of this project. 9.3 Comparison and Selection of Closure Pipelines Route of Sewage Outlets to River Located in West of Guzhen Closure Pipelines project of Sewage Outlets to River Located in West of Guzhen is connecting the closure pipelines in the pond below the railway bridge of the park located in the west of the city, which intercepts the sewage of west of the city to the sewage main pipe of Huangyuan Road. According to the field inspection, the pipelines route of this project has two options, which are Proposal A and Proposal B respectively. Proposal A: Below the railway bridge of the park located in the west of the Guzhen Railway Station Square Huihe Road Join the sewage main pipe of Huangyuan Road; Proposal B: Below the railway bridge of the park located in the west of the Guzhen Railway Station Square Huihe Road Shengli Road Miaogang Road Join the sewage main pipe of Huangyuan Road; Both the advantages and disadvantages of the two proposals are shown in the table below. Table 138: Comparison of Closure Pipelines Route Proposals of Drinking Water Source Proposal A Proposal B Advantages 1. Due to shorter length of the pipelines, so the investment is smaller; 2. Due to the wider road way of Huhe Road, the laying of the pipelines shall have little impact to the traffic. 1. Shengli Road and Miaogang Road are not the main roads, and the traffic flow is relatively small. 2. Fewer public facilities at the both sides of Shengli Road and Miaogang Road, such as hospitals, schools etc. which are vulnerable to be affected by the construction. 3. Shengli Road and Miaogang Road are the roads under the plan to modify of Guzhen, the laying of the pipelines and the road construction can be carried out simultaneously. Disadvantag es 1. There are more prosperous sections at the both sides of Huihe Road, such as a number of schools, hospitals etc. maybe affected by the construction. 2. Huihe Road is the main road of Guzhen 1. Longer length of the pipelines, with the bigger investment; 2. Narrow road and it is not convenient for construction. Page 236 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 236/335 with the heavy traffic; the construction will generate a greater impact to the traffic. In summary, this environmental evaluation deems Proposal C is the best on the environment, on the one hand, the set of sewage outlet along the Huaihe River must obtain the written consent of water conservancy department and the environmental protection department, in principle it can not increase new sewage outlet along the Huaihe River shore; on the other hand, according to the modification notice of “Pollutant Discharge Standard of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant” GB18918-2002 and suggestions of Environmental Protection Bureau, the sewage discharged into the Huaihe River must meet Grade I a standard, but the emission concentration of the pollutants of Grade I a standard can not meet the requirements of "Standard for Irrigation Water Quality” (GB5084-92) , can not be used for irrigation. As the tail water of mainly proposed fine chemical wastewater, if it is discharged into the farm irrigation trench, it will cause certain pollution risks on the surrounding soil, groundwater and crops, particularly for the water crops. We can see that, it is not suitable to discharge the tail water of sewage treatment plant to the Mochongyin River, thus this environmental evaluation suggests to discharge the tail water of sewage treatment plant to diversion channel of the Sanpu River drainage station through the pipelines, then through the outlet of drainage station to discharge the tail water of sewage treatment plant to the Huaihe River. Proposal C is the recommended proposal of this environmental evaluation. 9.4 Comparison and Selection for the Establishment of Sewage Treatment Plant 9.4.1 Inflowing Water Quality The mainstay of Bengbu Chemical Industry is fine chemicals and key industries relate to biochemistry, organic intermediate and chemical products, ect, the products of which cover many chemical production spheres, such as feed additive, food additive, additive, flavoring material, medicine, insecticides, paint, chemical reagents and organic intermediate. Meanwhile, biochemistry, organic intermediate and medicine consist of there features of Bengbu Municipal Chemical Industry. Mo Hekou Industrial Area of Wuhe River Economic Development Zone, which focus on fine chemicals and takes general industry into consideration. Survey for the condition of existing signed enterprises can refer to the following table. Page 237 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 237/335 Table 139: Survey for Enterprise Basic Information of MoHekou Industrial Park S/N Enterprises Name Products Production Type 1 AnHui Juyuan Chemical Co., Ltd o- phenylendiamine Chemicals 2 WuTong Battery Battery Light Industries 3 AnHui Longhai Seed Industry Seed processing General processing 4 AnHui Yongheng Textile Textiles Products Light Industries 5 BengBu Fu Ande Filter Light Industries 6 BengBu Clutural Color Printing Printing and Packing Light Industries 7 TongDa Municipal Administration Insulated Material Light Industries 8 BengBu Tengfei insulated Container Building Building 9 BengBu Municipal The Huaihe River Rubber Ingredients Activator Chemicals 10 BengBu Municipal GuangHua Fine Chemicals Plant Activator Chemicals 11 BiaoShen Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Take CODcr index as example, Grade 3 Standard of CODcr is 1000mg/L for chemical area, which possibly involves the industries, such as dye, organ phosphorous pesticide, medicine pharmaceutical ingredient and biological pharmacy, it is higher than the requirements of general enterprises,that is, Grade 3 Standard of CODcr is 500mg/L. Therefore, Jinshui water quality of Water Treatment Plant should refer to those sewage treatment plants, which have been established and formed certain industrial scale, e.g. Sewage Treatment Plants in Shanghai and Nanking Chemical Area. Shanghai Chemical Industrial Area is located at North Bank of Hangzhou Bay and its planning area is 29.4 km2. This is one of the largest -scale investment industrial projects in China during the period “Tenth Five Years Plan” and is the first special development zone taking petroleum and fine chemicals as orientation, meanwhile, it also becomes the southern center of Four Great Industrial Bases in Shanghai. The development of Shanghai Chemical Industrial Shanghai Area has formed certain scale, at present, so many Transnational Corporations referring to British Petroleum and Chemical Cooperation, BASF Aktiengesellschaft, Germany Bayer, Germany Degussa, America Huntsman Corporation, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc, Sumitomo and world famous public utility enterprises including Suez, VOPAK, France Air Liquide Group, Praxair Electronics, ect all have been settled in this Area. Shanghai Chemical Industrial Area has formed a complete products chain, which consists of three parts, namely, the first part is the up-stream products that include Naphtha, ethylene and so on, the second part is middle-stream products that involve isocyanate, polycarbonate, ect and the last part is downstream products that refer to fine chemical, synthetics and so on. In order to meet discharge requirements of biochemical production enterprises as petrochemical industry, a Sewage Treatment Plant has been established and operated in Shanghai Chemical Industrial Area, its sewage treatment scale is 7000m3/d and it mainly receive production wastewater produced by the projects ofGaohua Phenolacetone, PVC of Tianyuan Chemicals, Bisphenol of Bayer Company, poly-isocyanate and so on. Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park is located at Jiangbei Region of Nanking. This region is the earliest chemical base where has many large- scaled enterprises at present, such as Yangzi Petrochemical Company, Sinopec Petrochemical Group, BASF-YPC Company Ltd, a Joint Venture made by BASF Aktiengesellschaft and Nanking Chemical Indurstrial Company. Nanking Chemical Industrial District covers 41 km2, where mainly focuses on the development of petrochemicals, basic organic chemical materials, chemicals, polymer material, new type chemical materials and life medical projects. Inflowing index for above mentioned two sewage treatment plant in chemical area can be seen in the table below. Page 239 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 239/335 Table 140: Inflowing Water Qaulity of Sewage Treatment Plant in Haihua and Nanking C hemical Area Name Inflowing Volume (m 3 /d) CODcr(mg/L) BOD5(mg/L) SS Sewage Treatment Plant in Shanghai Chemical Area 7000 700 250 350 Sewage Treatment Plant in Nanking Chemical Area 12500 1000 300 300 We can see from the introduction for the said 3 chemical areas that Mo Hekou Park has obvious similarities on industrial features with another 2 chemical areas in Shanghai and Nanking, therefore, the analogy for the condition of inflowing water quality between above mentioned 2 chemical areas will have more important guiding significance on determining the water quality of this project. According to the analogy made for the sewage treatment plants of this project and other domestic sewage treatment plants, the inflowing water quality of industrial park is decided to be set as follows: CODcr450mg/L, BOD5120mg/L, SS200mg/L, NH3-N30mg/L, and TP3.5mg/L. Sewage treatment plants in chemical area are different from other general municipal sewage treatment, its main inflowing water is indusial waste water in industrial park, so organic content in pollutants is generally lower than urban sewage, from the angle of conservative design, if inflowing water quality is decided as per upper limit statistics concluded by research and investigation, it will be favorable to guarantee the reliability for late sewage treatment to reach the standard. Therefore, the opinion of this environmental evaluation is that feasible studying inflowing water quality to be decided is relevantly lower, and it is advised to make fully demonstration on subsequent design. 9.4.2 Feasibility for Technology Standard Inflowing water quality in Sewage Treatment Plant of Mohekou Chemical Industrial Area is the industrial wastewater primarily produced by Fine Chemical Enterprises and Pharmaceutical Enterprises, its organic pollution concentration is very high and the biodegradability is worse, therefore, these wastewater need to be disposed with high degree, and multi-system complex treatment plan must be adopted in order to realize the treatment for those produced wastewater. The industries in Tianjing Municipal Chemical Industrial Area take green fine chemicals and ocean chemicals as leading role and primarily focus on the development of highly valued high-tech industries such as pharmaceutical chemicals and new materials. Through the comparison and selection & argumentation for sewage treatment technology and the survey condition for the analogy of sewage treatment works in chemical area, Hydrolytic Oxidation+ Page 240 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 240/335 Bio-Reaction+MBR Filter Technology is finally adopted in order to ensure that final water quality meets Grade 1 Standard B of “Pollutant Discharge Standard of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant” (GBl8918-2002). Hydrolytic Oxidation Tank performs the function of anaerophyte to hydrolyze macromolecular persistent organic substance in water into molecular degradation labile organic substance in order to reach the purpose of improving biodegradability of wastewater and partial organic substance degradation. The fillers are thrown into Reaction Tank when the water of Hydrolytic Oxidation Tank outflows into it. The specific surface area of the filler is great, so it is available for microorganism to absorb and grow. When aeration oxygenation is made, ascending buoyancy of air bubble propel the fillers and around waters to flow, when cutting through the gap of the water and fillers, the air is reblocked by the fillers and cut into small bubbles. In such process, the bubbles are mixed with wastewater after fully stirring, so the connection and delivering efficiency between biological membrane and oxygen are strengthen. The growing microbial biomass on the fillers is greater than floating microbial biomass in water, which greatly improves treatment efficiency and is effective to prevent sludge expansion, especially for the fungus with long history and periodicity, such as nitrifier, and the fillers can ensure their ability of viability and propagation, so it is favorable for nitrification. The project adopts the technology of chemical desulphurization and polyaluminium is determined to be as technological medical reagent for desulphurization; the process is that chemical desulphurization reagent is put into Biochemical Reaction Tank, and then the produced sediments can be removed with the excess sludge. The filtration of membrane in MBR (membrane bioreactor) can make macromolecular fully intercepted into Bio-Reactor to realize complete separation of HRT and SRT in order to keep higher MLSS and longer SRT in reactor, in this way, favorable conditions are created to improve removal efficiency for persistent and dissolved organic substance, and the volume of excess sludge is greatly decreased. According to survey condition for CODcr removal rate index at different stages of Sewage Treatment Plants with same technologies, 3 main technologies, which include Hydrolytic Oxidation+ Bio-Reaction+MBR Filter Technology, are adopted to realize CODcr removal performance, and predicated outflowing water quality is as follows: Table 141: Schedule for CODcr Removal Effect and Predicated Outflowing Water Quality on Key Technologies Project CODcr Concentration Removal Rate Inflowing 1000mg/L Hydrolytic Oxidation Pond Outflowing 600 mg/L 40% Bio-Reaction Tank Outflowing 90 mg/L 85% MBR Unit Outflowing 45 mg/L 50% Page 241 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 241/335 We can see from Analogic Survey Condition that the adoption of Hydrolytic Oxidation+ Bio- Reaction+MBR Filter Technology can make CODcr reach Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GBl8918-2002), Grade 1, Standard A. The opinion of this environmental evaluation is that outflowing water quality cannot meet Grade 1 Standard A of Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GBl8918-2002) by adopting the technology for A2/0 microporous exposure oxidation channels treatment; therefore, the technology should be fully demonstrated on subsequent design.

the 3 counties projects are far away from the urban area, most of the impacted people are farmers, so the public negotiation and public participation should be launched according to the different areas and people. This project adopts various forms such as public negotiation workshop, opinion consultation letters to experts, public remarks and survey. Public participation is divided into 2 phase, the first phase is at the beginning of EA, during the preparation of EA outline from Jan. 2007 to Mar.2007, the second phase is when the draft EIA report is almost finished. z\03 The first public participation is primarily by ways of on-site visits and investigation tables providing. There are 240 public participation investigation tables provided for 8 sub- projects altogether and 220 tables taken back, with the returning ratio of 92%. The regions investigated covered the Bengbu urban district and construction places of the three suburban counties. z\03 In the work of the second public participation, different participating measures were adopted in view of the different project. With EIA work progressing, the main affected crowd and the region were screened, public opinion collecting was carried on, and the project environmental impact symposium and the experts’ opinion collecting work were simultaneously done. 1) In the scope of Bengbu planned area, every construction agency and the EIA agency visited the main affected region together and distributed in the investigation tables for public participation. This time in the main affected regions around the 5 projects in the urban district (city draining water, project Longzi Lake project, Xijiagou project, Huaishang area project and Tianhe drainage pumping station project), 550 investigation tables were provided altogether for public participation, among which 531 tables were taken back with the returning ratio 97%. 2 In view of the project category and environment problem of the project planning to use the World Bank loan, the local experienced experts opinions and the suggestions were asked. Recommended by the Bengbu department concerned and the construction agency, senior experts in the hydraulic engineering, the municipal administration infrastructure engineering, as well as the environmental protection aspect, were invited. EIA agency designed specially the consultation table to seek opinions from each expert and seven of them proposed the valued suggestion to the project construction in the engineering technical and the environmental protection aspect. 3) In view of the characteristics of suburban county projects, the EIA agency together with the construction agency developed symposium with the affected publics on the environmental impact of project construction in Huaiyuan County, Guzhen County as well as Wuhe County Page 250 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 250/335 Mohekou Town. At the same time the investigation tables were provided for public participation in order to collect the local public's opinions and suggestions widely and to feedback promptly the public’s opinion and worries to the construction agency and each sub- project PMO. This time 300 tables altogether were provided for public participation in the three suburban counties of construction, among which 273 were taken back with the returning-ratio 91%.

Almost all of the survey respondents believed that it was very necessary to improve the flood control and flood drainage capacity, while 35% considered it necessary. 5. About 80% of the surveyed peoples think that the current drainage system of Bengbu isn’t complete, and it impacts the water quality of urban canals, the pollution of Xijiagou and Baligou is serious, the sanitation condition of the surrounding environment is bad, the garbage at 2 sides of the rivers and odor pollution are evident. 6. 35% of those surveyed believed that traffic would be affected during the construction of the project, 25% believed that there would be noise impact, while 20% believed that they would suffer from the dust and 20% believed that they would be affected by the temporary land occupancy. 70% of those surveyed could accept the impact of the construction, 30% could accept the impact on the premise that measures have been taken to reduce them. It could be concluded that the citizen is willing to accept the construction’s impact on them for the sake of the improvement of their living environment. 7. 100% of the survey respondents believed that the project would play a positive role in many aspects, so the construction of it should be carried out soon. 10.2.2 Investigation of the 2nd public participation Based on the investigation from July 4 to July 10, 2007, 850 investigation tables were provided for public participation of the urban area and the sub-urban projects, among which 803 tables were taken back with the returning ratio 94%. 10.2.2.1 Main conclusions z\03 Among the surveyors, 100 percent of the surveyors expressed their supports to the construction of Bengbu city project of the facility for flood prevention and drainage pumping and for the comprehensive environment improvement, using the World Bank. They thought that this project is a good project benefiting the people and promoting the urban development. The surveyor thought generally that the project construction can enhance the ability of flood and drainage prevention and safety controlling in the city’s Page 252 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 252/335 flood season, perfect city’s infrastructure, improves the urban combined environment, enhance the residents’ living quality of life, promote the city overall image, enhancement the ability to attract commercial investments, and promote the development of local economy. z\03 Above 90% of the surveyors all said they know about the construction project situation, other people said they know about the project construction of Bengbu city project of the facility for flood prevention and drainage pumping and for the comprehensive environment improvement, using the World Bank, which indicated that the information publicity of the this project achieved remarkable success. 1 For Tianhe flood prevention project: z\03 The surveyors generally reflected that drainage condition was serious in the flood season in the Tianhe area, especially the riverside marsh land. The drainage water can only disperse into the Tianhe, not outside into Huaihe River, which caused the great loss in agricultural production. The construction of large-capacity drainage pumping station is extremely needed; z\03 On the other hand, after the Tianhe river has been recognized as the water source in emergency, above 90% peripheral farmers were worried that it will affect the normal water taking for the Tianhe peripheral agricultural production to take water from the emergency water source in the water lacking period of the drought season. z\03 95% people thought main adverse effects in the construction period were the transportation impeded and the land occupying. z\03 More than 90% of the people thought that the main function of the construction Tianhe pumping station was to enhance the Tianhe drainage pumping ability, to guarantee the safety of the Tianhe peripheral area in flood season, to promote agricultural production. z\03 No surveyors expressed adverse opinions in the location choice of the Tianhe pumping station. 2 For Longzi Lake project z\03 All the surveyors expressed their supports to the project construction. But they hoped that the drainage pumping station project should do rational planning before the construction, consider the expense and production of the project construction, use the fund reasonably, and cut down the expenditures. z\03 75% of the surveyors reflected that the coastal area of the Longzi Lake drains water was impeded frequently in the flood season. They thought it is necessary to carry on scouring, coordinating to drainage pumping station construction simultaneously to improve the ability effectively of flood prevention and drainage pumping in this area. z\03 60% of the surveyors thought it was extremely necessary to clear the silt in Longzi Lake, and it can improve the local overall environment to do coordinated coastal slope protection forestations. Page 253 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 253/335 z\03 The surveyors all agreed that the main adverse effects in the project construction were the construction raising dust, the transportation impeding and the land occupying. It is hoped to decrease the influence by reducing construction time and realizing the construction environmental protection measures. 3 For urban water and drainage pumping project z\03 92% of the surveyors reflected that Bengbu's drainage system was impeded, and it is needed urgently to consummate the municipal drainage system construction. z\03 90% of the surveyors thought the construction of the draining water pipe network will be advantageous in improving the urban overall water environment. z\03 98% people thought it is extremely helpful to construct rain and sewage pipe network in the Longzi Lake District for the improvement of the Longzi Lake and the peripheral water environment. 4 For Xijiagou Project z\03 92% of the surveyors indicated that they support the construction of the project. They also thought that the scouring of the ditches and the new building of the drainage pumping station at the same time can effectively enhance the ability of the flood prevention and drainage pumping in local area; z\03 More than half of the surveyors expressed their great unsatisfaction with the peripheral environment of Xijiagou and Baligou. The main problems were the water environmental pollution caused by the sewage discharge, the odor caused by the trash in coast stacks, and the environmental sanitation problems. z\03 The surveyors all agreed that the main adverse effect in the project construction is the transportation and the land occupying. It is hoped to decrease the influence by reducing construction time and realizing the construction environmental protection measures. 5 For Huaishang District Project z\03 All the surveyors supported the project construction, and they thought it essential to improve the drainage system and enhance the ability of flood prevention and drainage pumping in Huaishang area. To build and consummate the infrastructures such as the road in the north area of Huaihe River main dike, the draining water pipe networks and so on; z\03 92% of the surveyors reflected existing drainage pumping system was impeded in the Huaishang area. They also indicated that through scouring the silt in the ditches and canals, building new (changing, expanding) drainage pumping stations , reinforcing embankment and so on to enhance the ability of flood prevention and drainage pumping in Huaishang area; z\03 The surveyors thought that with the implementation of the project the main order of the impacts on their living were the noise; the raising dust, the temporary land occupying Page 254 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 254/335 and the transportation, respectively. They hoped that in the construction the construction agency should pay attention to publicing the construction announcement in advance, constructing according to the plans, using environmental protection measures to dustproof, noise reduction, wastewater processing and so on, reducing the temporary land occupying, occupying less farmlands, shortening the project working period, restoring the surface vegetations promptly. z\03 The surveyors suggested that the project should occupy less farmland in caring about the people’s actually difficulty; the project should speed up the progress; in the pumping station construction the river system should be safeguarded to be unimpeded; Inhabitant's relocation and arrangement should be dealt with promptly. The project construction agency should pay attention to the surveyors’ suggestions, and help the project complete smoothly. 6 For Guzhen County Project z\03 84% of the surveyors indicated the understanding of the project construction, 96% indicated their support to the project construction, and nobody expressed the opposition. z\03 63% of the surveyors expressed their unsatisfaction with the existing drainage channel flow capacity of the Guzhen County. They thought that the environmental sanitation condition of the peripheral canal was poor at the central town in Guzhen County. z\03 87% of the surveyors thought that the flooding disaster in Guzhen County was serious. 90% of the surveyors agreed that the flood discharging and drainage pumping ability of the existing drainage ditch pumping station was not able to meet the requirements for flood prevention and draining water pumping. z\03 The surveyors all agreed that the main adverse effects in the project construction will be the transportation impeding, the land occupying in the construction as well as the noise influence. It is hoped to decrease the influence by formulating the construction plan scientifically, reducing the construction time and realizing the construction environmental protection measures. 7 For Huaiyuan County Project z\03 Nearly all the surveyors expressed their supports positively to the project construction, and hoped that this project implements as soon as possible. z\03 The surveyors generally reflected that the ability of flood prevention and drainage pumping in Huaiyuan County was poor. They also suggested several measures to enhance comprehensively the ability of flood prevention and drainage pumping, such as building new drainage pumping station, doing silt scouring of drainage ditches, reinforcing embankment, etc. z\03 All the surveyors told that because various wastewaters were discharged and the trash was casually stacked, the peripheral environmental sanitation condition was extremely poor the suburban pools and drainage ditches in the Huaiyuan County Town. They Page 255 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 255/335 indicated that it was extremely necessary to carry on comprehensive improvement, including silt clearing and vegetation restoration; z\03 The surveyor thought generally that the adverse effects during the project construction stage were mainly of temporary land occupying, construction noise and transportation consequences. They hoped to be informed ahead of time before the construction about the construction plan and the adverse effects. It is asked to decrease the influence by shortening the construction time, reducing the land occupancy and realizing the construction environmental protection measures at the construction place. 8 For Wuhe County Mohekou Project z\03 95% of the surveyors indicated that they know the construction content and the situation of this project; and expressed their supports to the project construction. z\03 Regarding to the construction of the surface water works, the surveyors expressed cared about the supply water quality most, the guarantee of the water volume supply as well as the necessaries of the water supplying pipe network. They also indicated that they wish to use the water from the surface water works. z\03 77% of the surveyors thought it was urgently needed to improve the water facilities, the sewage facilities, the road facilities in the industry development area; z\03 The surveyors thought that the impacts on their living with the implementation of the project will be the raising dust, the transportation, the noise and the temporary land occupying. It is hoped to decrease the influence by formulating the construction plan scientifically, reducing the construction time and realizing the construction environmental protection measures. 10.2.2.2 Feedback opinions and worries According to the results of the EIA personnels’ visit on site as well as the survey of public participation to each sub-projects, the EIA agency will feed back the public opinion and worries collected to the departments concerned.

Especially during the road building at the Mohekou Town, the sand and crushed stone materials and so on needed for the road construction should be laid aside appropriately to reduce the road occupying and maintain the road cleanness. The construction time should avoid inhabitant's relaxation time. Do the construction in the civilized way and formulate the construction plan to reduce the effects on the inhabitants’ transportation and lives. 3) After the implementation of the project, it is hoped to do effective collection and processing for the existing factory production waste water and the sewage in the town and to integrate completely the sewage treatment plant to be constructed. 1) Feedback the public’s opinions to the construction agency and request them check strictly in the construction tender process and formulate the construction plan scientifically. In the construction proposal, should consider reducing temporary land occupying and stipulate the transit route for the construction, complete the work of supervising and managing. 2) In the EIA report, do supplement and consummate measures of the corresponding construction management in order to minimize the adverse construction consequences. Page 263 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 263/335 Main subjects Main conclusions Resolving proposals 3. Ask the public’s opinions on the environmental impact mitigation measures in the project construction. 1) The inhabitant believed that this project is a project for the people. They can accept various unavoided environmental effects in the construction period and hoped this project to implement as soon as possible. But the environmental mitigation measures should be implemented actually. 1) Integrate completely the environmental protection measures proposed in EIA in the environment management plan, and request the project agency to implement the environmental protection measures and the supervising and managing system. 2) It should be enhanced in the scene management in the construction period and increased in surveillance and inspection strength. 10.2.4 The experts’ consultation opinions In view of “the Project of City flood prevention and the ecological environment treatment in Bengbu City”, to complete the project EIA work better, the EIA consulted the seven concerning experts coming from the Bengbu water conservancy bureau, Huaihe River Hydro- Conservancy Committee, the Bengbu Water Conservation Survey Design Institute, the Bengbu Plan and Design Institute, the Huaihe River Water Resources Conservation Research Institute, the Bengbu Municipal Engineering Administrative Office and the Bengbu Environmental Monitoring Station in the Bengbu City in July, 2007. The experts proposed the precious suggestion on the following questions. The content and the expert advice of the questionnaire were summarized in Table 148. Table 148: List of the summary of experts’ opinions on Bengbu World Bank loan project Serial numb er The questionnaire Main conclusions 1 What’s your attitude to the construction of this project seeking for World bank loan for the city flood prevention and ecological treatment in Bengbu City? Expert in various fields expressed their vigorous supports to the construction of the World Bank project. 1) Bengbu is a city with relatively lag infrastructure and relatively serious pollution. The local flood prevention facility was weak in this area, which is to the north of Huaihe River, to the east of Longzi Lake and to the west of Baligou. It has been in the status of natural inundation for a long time and there existed certain hidden danger of flood prevention. On the other hand, the Baligou, the Xijiagou and the Longzi Lake have not been treated comprehensively and the water environmental pollution problem is quite serious. Therefore it is extremely essential to apply for the World Bank loan to carry on the construction of the city flood prevention and the drainage pumping facility and the environment synthesis improvement. 2) Bengbu's once application for the world bank loan to use in the Huaihe River basin water pollution treatment, has obtained very good social and environmental benefit. This time the application for the world bank loan project will play a vital role in realizing the sustainable development of the economy and the society so as to raise the city infrastructure level and optimize the living environment. It is Page 264 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 264/335 Serial numb er The questionnaire Main conclusions believed that with the great effort of municipal government and department concerned, the application for the world bank loan will obtain a complete success. 2 What’s your worry and suggestion on the construction of the Mohekou Industry Garden? 1) There are water drainage problems such as low topography of garden area and submergence risks in the flood season. It is suggested to carry on plan designing and the implementation first in the Mohekou garden area of drainage elimination. 2) There are pollution discharge problems in the enterprises. The pretreatment does not reach the designed standards and is discharged outside along with rain water in the flood season. It is easy to form the pollution risk to Huaihe River. It should be guaranteed that the enterprise environmental protection facility, the sewage treatment facility in the garden area and the enterprise construction are in operation simultaneously. At the same time, forbid the heavy pollution enterprise entering the garden area. 3) As a fine chemical garden area, the ingredients of the sewage and wastewater in the enterprise are complex and heavily polluted. It should be carried on the technical proof to the treating process in the wastewater treatment plant and adopt suitable limiting condition for the chemical enterprises with characteristic pollutants, therefore to guarantee the enterprise wastewater reach the pretreatment standards before being discharged into the wastewater treatment plant. It should be discussed about the technology proposals on the pollution outlet establishment of the wastewater treatment plant and considered about the sludge handling in normal operation of the sewage plan at the same time. 4) There are domestic water problems. As the ground water quality is unsatisfactory and the surface water resources are scarce, there are problems in the water quality and volume of water supply. The water resources proof and comparison and selection of the water supply plan to the surface water works should be carried out. Carry on the full proof on the project technology. The domestic water may consider the proposal using in-depth ground water. 3 To display the environment benefit of the city rain and sewage pipe networks of the basic construction, what problem do you think need be paid attention to? What’s your suggestion? 1) Plan reasonably the rain and sewage pipe networks. It should be considered for the long-term development requirement for sewage pipe network and designed carefully. Control the construction of the storm sewer system strictly and makes the connection well as few as possible. Construction the waste blocks facility at the exit to cease the organic waste matters to enter the river course which causes second pollution. 2) In the new city area, the rain and the sewage separate system pipe network should be built. In the old city area where there is unable to practice the separate system, the multiple should be reasonably determined in damming the current during the pipe network construction of combined system. 3) Guarantee the pipe maintenance quality after raining. Complete the lucid and coherent work before the flood season. The sewage pipe network construction should be earlier than the sewage treatment plant construction. The covering scope and the volume of contaminated wastewater of the wastewater gathering system should satisfy the wastewater treatment scale requirements, avoiding unsaturated inlet water in the wastewater plant. 4) Establish and perfect the enterprise water draining and the pollution discharge permit system. Complete the later period track supervising and managing normalizing. Guarantee the inlet water of the wastewater plant to meet water quality standards and in good operation. 4 Which aspects do you think that main environment z\03 Benefits: 1) enhance the ability of accepting the rain and sewage in the ditches, the ponds and the rivers and improve the self-cleaning ability; 2) improve water quality of the ditches, the ponds and the rivers as well as the peripheral soil quality, therefore Page 265 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 265/335 Serial numb er The questionnaire Main conclusions benefits are shown in for the silt clearing projects of ditches and ponds in the city area and three counties? What problems do the silt clearing projects have? Do you have any suggestions? improve peripheral living environment; 3) increase the ability of draining and storing floodwater in the ditches, the ponds z\03 Problems existed: 1) handling of clearing silt which may cause second pollution; 2) certain pollution produced in the construction process; 3) investment of a large amount z\03 Suggestions: 1) There are problems in Bengbu and three counties projects, such as the big resilience of the ditches and the ponds silt clearing, the insufficient investment. Therefore it should be done with key prominent, for example, south area of Longzi Lake needs immediate silt clearing. It is suggested to implement by stages, complete silts clearing at one time. 2) It is suggested to transform the earth channels into the stone channels to retain the existing marsh lands as far as possible, and do overall planning and comprehensive treatment. To marsh lands in the city which is the place originally for flood stagnating and gathering, should be retained as far as possible to avoid filling in the pond to make the lands. 3) The silt clearing project should be unified with the environment improvement of the water body shore and the pollution source treatment. 4) The silts cleared should be deeply buried or covered with the earth as well as used in the forestations or the scenery making. 5) The handling plan for the cleared silts should be compared and selected with the multi-plans, for example to fill in buries, the compost, burning down and so on, to avoid producing second pollution. 5 What do you think of the main problems there are in the silt clearing project of Longzi Lake? 1) Longzi Lake area is very big. Therefore the key scope of silt clearing should be determined first. Then carry on surveys on silt thickness in the silt clearing scope. Decide the silt depth of clearing on the basis of the analysis of pollutant content distributions in the silt. 2) The silt clear will have certain influence on the water quality, the water ecology, the aquaculture, the landscape. Reduce destruction of the original ecology as far as possible. Determine the silt clearing depth after the scientific analysis. It is suggested that the silt clearing cannot penetrate the clay layer and t the silt clearing depth should not more than 50cm. 3) Choose the appropriate way to clear silts. Avoid the deposit pollutant in the bottom putty releasing once more into the water body and causing the new pollution during the silt clearing process because of the bottom putty agitation. Consider the efficiency of the silt clearing at the same time. It is suggested to use the dredge boat of environment protecting twist-attract type. If the silt depth is insufficient, it is suggested to pump off the water and use the sludge pump or the carry-scraper for the construction work regarding to the soil texture situation. 4) For the improvement of the Longzi Lake shore, it is primarily suggested to excavate the earth or stone, therefore to increase the storage capacity of the flood prevention, storage and regulating and to enhance the flood control standard of the Longzi Lake. 5) The cleared silts should be handled reasonably. It is suggested to use the soil body in the cleared silts to increase the ground elevation of peripheral Longzi Lake to achieve the effect of flood prevention and waterlogged elimination. But the stack of the cleared silt must not occupy the storage capacity for flood preventing and regulating. 6) The handling of massive cleare d silts should choose the appropriate season, to Page 266 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 266/335 Serial numb er The questionnaire Main conclusions avoid doing construction in the spring or summer and reduce the influence of odor. It is suggested to choose the suitable place to construct putty field for silt handling. 7) After clearing the silts, enhance the operation management and the maintenance of the Longzi Lake. The sewage dispersing is forbidden along the lake. It is also suggested to consider breeding some aquatic plants to absorb nutritive elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and so on while richen the landscape. It is proposed to do massive forestations of planting trees and grasses along the coast to reduce the soil erosion and the silt situation in the lake body. 6 What main problems do you think existed in the construction of drainage pumping stations? Which opinions Do you have any opinions or suggestion? z\03 Existed problems: 1) In the old city area the equipment in the drainage pumping stations are obsolete, while in the new city area the drainage pumping stations need to be constructed urgently; 2) The draining ability of the planned pumping station is not able to meet the design requirements; 3) After the pumping station completes, the maintenance management mechanism is not perfect and the technical ability is insufficient. z\03 Opinions and suggestions 1) Location selection of the pumping stations should consider the conditions such as advantageous drainage collection, good geological condition, high safeguarded electricity conditions as well as transportation convenience. Simultaneously far away from the crowd compact district. 2) Enhance the pumping station forestations construction. Use the pumps of advanced designing, the high effective and energy saving, the safe and reliable type. Increase the sound absorption function of the pumping station. Complete the pollution preventing and controlling measure of the odor and the noise, avoiding disturbing the people. 3) Prudently choose the waste blocking facility and the waste blocking plan, Pay enough attention to the anticorrosion of the pumping station equipments. 4) The construction of drainage pumping stations is supposed to pay great attention to the display of combined benefits of the hydraulic engineering, which is to combine basin drains and the regional drains, and the realize the combination of the drainage pumping function and the environment benefit. 5) Strengthen the operation management of the pumping station. Consummate the management facility and the management structure. Strengthen the routine maintenance of the equipment. Provide the corresponding technical force. Realize good operation of the pumping station. 7 Question 7, What are effects on original Fengxi pumping station, Fengxixu, the Tianheshengcha n dike, Tianhefengbi dike and the flood discharging areas after completing the Tianhe drainage Pumping station? Are there any worries or z\03 Influences: 1) The construction the Tianhe drainage pumping station can expand drainage flux. During the water logging time can reduce the Tianhe water level effectively. It is advantageous for Fengxixu drainage pumping station to eliminate water logging and enhance the flood controlling standard of Fengxixu; 2) In the flood season, the function of the opening of drainage pumping station can be ignored in increasing the Huaihe River main current capacity. It will not result in the increase of the water level of the Huaihe River, therefore it almost will not affect to the Tianheshengchan dike, the Tianhefengbi dike. z\03 Worries and suggestions: 1) When the drainage stations begin simultaneously, the influence on the peripheral water level should be considered. 2) The operating costs have difficulties in the allocation. It is supposed to be considered by the province government. 3) For the Tianhe has been taken as the Bengbu spare water source, reducing the Page 267 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 267/335 Serial numb er The questionnaire Main conclusions suggestions? Tianhe water level will have influence on the water-holding capacity. 8 What influence do you think the project construction will have on Huaihe River? Do you have any suggestions? z\03 Positive influence: 1) There are many advantages in the wide range society public welfare. On the one hand. It is advantageous to protect the land and the inhabitant safety; on the other hand it is also advantageous in removing the drainage from Huaihe River ahead of time. 2) It has the improvement and the repairing function to the regional partial ecology. It can improve the environment along the Huaihe River. The construction of the wastewater treatment plant may reduce the pollution degree in Bengbu pollutants discharging to Huaihe River. 3) It has the vital role in the guarantee of water quality water and water volume of Bengbu domestic water and the process water. z\03 Negative influence: 1) It will produce short disadvantageous environmental effects such as sewage and wastewater and so on. in the construction period 2) It will have adverse effects on the water quality in Huaihe River if sewage discharges in the enterprise along Huai Garden Area is not controlled strictly. 3) The cleared silt from the ditches and ponds will produce the negative influence on the surrounding environment with inappropriate handling ; 4) After completion of drainage pumping stations construction in the urban district and three counties, the operation of single pumping station will not have great influence on the main current of Huaihe River. But if the stations simultaneously open in the flood season, it can slightly increase the Huaihe River peak discharge, which possibly will be able to have the influence on the overall Huaihe River flood prevention and create the flood disaster to shift. z\03 Suggestions: 1) Carry out the environmental protection measures strictly “three at the same time” way, strengthen the pollution outlet management, cease pollution event to occur in the Huaihe River. 2) Strengthen and carry out each environmental protection measure in the construction period. reduce the environment adverse effects. 3) Control the construction quality strictly. Cease the hidden danger of the flood prevention 4) Implement this project as soon as possible. Carry on the project with the principle of the urban district first, then three counties, the main current first, then the branches, paying equal attention to pipe network transformation in the old city area and pipe network construction in the new town area. 5) Coordinate various departments and reasonably plan the working procedure and the scale of the city draining water pipe network and the drainage pumping station construction. Once there is a possibility to have influence on the bank of Huaihe River, appraisal must be carried on for the circle dike flood prevention.

The resettlement work shall be executed strictly according to the resettlement compensation standard stipulated in the foregoing action plan and prior consent of the World Bank is required if there is any change during the resettlement. z\03 Principle To optimize the project design, keep away from the area with dense population or multi- storey, high-rise and permanent buildings, reduce the area that is influenced by land expropriation and house removal to the minimum, and minimize the number of involuntary resettlement is the principle this resettlement observes. All the involuntary resettlement will be included into the project construction, providing sufficient capital for the migrants and making them benefit from the project. The migrants will receive help during the migration- relocation as well as from the resettlement area. For the influenced households, their living environment will be improved and the resettlement area will be equipped with complete facilities for life, providing with convenient traffic and comfortable environment. Minimize the losses that are incurred to the enterprises and institutions by the land expropriation and housing removal, for instance, if the housing removal is inevitable, the compensation for the loss of suspension should be made, and the enterprises and institutions should be properly treated so that the production and operation can be resumed soon. The migrants should be encouraged to participate in the preparation of resettlement plan and the implementation of the resettlement, and the wills of the migrants should be fully respected. The objective of the target police is to avoid the negative influences brought by the land expropriation and housing removal to the most. For the property of the people who are affected by the negative influences, compensation will be made according to the replacement price. The resettlement objective of this project is to ensure the migrants can be compensated for all the losses they suffer from, can be properly resettled and well recover from the loss, enable them to share and enjoy the benefits of the project, offer them subsidy for their temporary difficulties to ensure their income and living standard as well as the production and profiting ability of the enterprises can be improved or at least be resumed to the higher level before the migration-relocation or the start of the project.

The living quality of the residents is lowered. z\03 It is inevitable that the construction would occupy road and greenery area, which will ruin the landscape and lower the traffic capacity of the road. And because of this, the local residents have to reroute their usual path whenever they go out, which is very inconvenient for their life. z\03 For the construction of large scale project, there will be at least one or more construction sites. Because of the entering of the construction workers, there are not only more wastes and garbage, which pollute the environment, but also many diseases are easy to be spread since the sanitary condition in the sites is not good, so the health of the surrounding residents are threatened. z\03 The management of the construction site would not be good since the people in the site are large in number and complex in constitute, and in addition, the people come and go frequently due to the supply and demands of construction materials as well as the living materials. There might be safety risks for the surrounding residents. 12.2.1.2 Analysis of Influence on Residents’ Life During the construction of rain water and sewage pipe as well as the road, the most notable influence on the construction area is the influence on traffic. z\03 If the construction is conducted within the unfinished area, since it is farmland in the surroundings in most occasions, which is open, the construction would be conducted in full range in this area to promote the progress of the construction of the whole road or the complete network fast. Although the road within the construction area is not good, which has small traffic flow, the accessing of the construction vehicles won’t have notable influence on the traffic capacity of the surrounding road, instead, it will influence the road outside of the construction area greatly and add traffic pressure to the road outside of the construction area, namely, when the loading trucks carry gravels and sand and construction garbage out, the gravels or sand or garbage dropped and spilled out along the road would lower the levelness and flatness of the road and create harm and risk to the road as well as the vehicles that pass by. . z\03 The size and load of the transporting vehicles are large, so it is inevitable that the vehicles will produce some damages to the road surface and the foundation as well, especially the over loaded vehicles, which have stronger damaging capacity. If the construction lasts long in period, there will be road repairing and economy loss. Page 310 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 310/335 z\03 Where the project locates at the center of the city or downtown area, the frequent passing of the construction vehicles would impose more pressure on the traffic which has been tense enough, making the downtown traffic more heavy and busy, especially at the rush hour, the traffic might be jammed when the idle condition of the vehicles lasts long and long-time horn of vehicle, thus the crowd would be restless and upset and the traffic order would be disturbed, due to which various traffic accidents are easy to take place. According to the above analysis, the construction will not only generate adverse influences to the surroundings of the construction area, but also will bring some traffic and safety risks, affecting the social order and public living environment. Therefore, the management and control during the construction should be reinforced, the construction management system should be perfected, detail construction plan should be prepared, full consideration should be made to avoid the adverse influences and minimize the adverse influences to the society. 12.2.1.3 Prevention Measures 1 The traffic management department should reinforce the management and control of the construction area, make traffic distribution and rerouting plan according to the construction plan, and organize the traffic by utilizing the adjacent traffic network to the most, ensuring the residents’ daily life won't be disturbed. 2 Before construction, the construction company should make sufficient and full preparation, have full understanding and investigation of the works in relation to the construction, and provide cooperation to the related departments to have all the emergency work be fully prepared in advance, ensuring the regular state of social life. 3 In order to minimize the influence the construction brings down to the life of the urban residents as well as the traffic, the traffic routes should be planned and distributed in uniform to avoid traffic jam, and inform the people in advance through such means as broadcast, television and newspaper. 4 There should be signboard erected at the construction site, on which such information as the works of the construction, time, name of the contact person and telephone number should be given, asking for the forgiveness from the public for the inconvenience caused by the construction. 5 The garbage produced by the construction of pipe network and road should be cleared and transported in time, and the road and the material field should be cleaned in time to free more the occupied land so that the residents can have free way to go out. 6 For the works that must be carried out at night due to the limit of the construction technology and techniques, there should be prevention measures and technical proposal for the construction at night. The low-noise equipments and machines should be adopted as much as possible. The light mechanical equipments or semi-manual construction should be Page 311 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 311/335 used. The mechanic vibration should be reduced and metal materials carrying should be avoided. The unruly loading and unloading and noise making is forbidden. The height and location of construction lighting should not affect the surrounding residents. 7 When the water supply, drainage, gas supply and heating supply is affected by the construction, negotiation and coordination with related authorities should be made in advance to work out the emergency plan. There should be persons specially assigned for the site supervision and inspection to ensure the accident can be treated promptly at the time it takes place. 8 The construction company should reinforce the management of both the construction workers and the site, have each worker and the visiting person registered and checked, and strengthen contact with the departments of property management and residents committee, communicating information from time to time, to strengthen the safety of the construction site and eliminate the restless and antipathy feelings and worries of the residents. 12.2.2 Analysis of the Social Influence after the Completion of the Project 12.2.2.1 Subproject of Huaiyuan County 1 Influence on Society and Economy This project is a part of the road network, rain water pipe network and flood prevention and drainage system in the urban master planning. When the project is completed, it is not only the road and pipe network system of the city oil and grains industrial base is improved, but also the flood prevention and drainage capacity of Chengguan Town is enhanced. Thereby, the pace of realizing the urban master planning is quickened and the goal of social and economic development can be achieved soon. 1 The Traffic Condition of the Oil and Grains Industrial Base of Chengguan Town is Improved The oil and grains industrial base of Chengguan Town is located in rural area. According to the urban master planning, Chengguan Town will be the industrial area of Huanyuan County. However, the undeveloped traffic of that place prevents the development of economy seriously. The road work of the oil and grains industrial base of Chengguan Town improves the traffic there greatly. Improving the investing environment and enhancing the capacity of economic investing will promote the economy of this area greatly. It will be convenient for the residents to go out after the completion of the project. 2 The Flood Prevention and Drainage Capacity is Enhanced The current rain water drainage capacity of Chengguan Town is weak. The drainage network is in broken condition and it is open channel in some place, furthermore, in some place there is no drainage system at all. The project will perfect the rain water network, enhance the Page 312 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 312/335 capacity of collecting and drainage of flood, increase the buffer time of flood, enhance the capacity of flood prevention and drainage of the city, mitigate the damages brought to the property of people by the flood, guaranteeing people’s happy and peaceful life. In a word, the completion of the project will greatly enhance the service ability of the urban infrastructure, improve the city environment obviously, fasten the urbanization of Huaiyuan County and promote the economic and social development of Huanyuan County. 2 Analysis of Influence on Urban Environment and Ecological Landscape 1 After the road work is completed, the road greenery will be increased and reasonable arrangement will be made. The road greenery can protect the road surface, prevent the water and soil from losing, reduce the traffic dust and noise, adjust and improve the microclimate of road, thus improving the landscape along the road and beautifying the road. 2 The appearance of a city is often learned first when people pass along the road of the city. The road greenery would enhance the beauty of the city and makes people feel fresh and natural. 3 The dredging of hill pond enhance the capacity of flood storage, enlarge the water surface in area, and create the nature landscape. Meanwhile, the vegetation resuming work is conducted around the hill pond, improving the environment of the pond further. 4 The perfecting of the urban flood prevention and rain water drainage network mitigates the damages the flood brings to the environment of the city. 5 Plant is one of the element that creates the beauty of city. Varied and colorful landscape of road can be made by making use of the unique lines, shapes, color and seasonal variation of plants, and characteristics can be formed to match the road lamps, flower bed and dustbin through the different types of trees, blossom period and arrangement. 6 The road greenbelt can decorate the city and foil the buildings along the road. Meanwhile, it can satisfy the residents living in the high rise buildings who want greenbelt. To sum up, the project will increase the beauty of the city and make people feel comfortable when it is completed. 12.2.2.2 Sub-project of Huaishang District The construction of the project may make the land lost people suffer some financial loss and affect the life of the residents. In addition to the adverse influence on the traffic and social security, the main influence the construction of the project brings to the social economy is the positive social economic benefits like promoting the economic growth and driving the development of the industry. 1 The construction of the project requires the participation of the design institute, construction company, architecture company, transporting company, and construction material supplier. In addition, large number of construction workers should be employed, to Page 313 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 313/335 whom living materials and social services should be provided. All of the work will provide more employment to the place and bring income to the companies, enterprises and the majority labor workers, thus promoting the development of the national economy. 2 The project will play an important part in the social development and progress of Huaishang District after it is completed, which beautifies the environment, improves the living condition and health of people, brings investment, promotes stability and solidarity, has good social effects and lead the economic prosperity of the surrounding area. 3 When the project is completed, the place where the project locates will provide the guarantee of flood prevention and good living environment. There will be good place for the citizen to have intimacy with the nature. 4 Due to the large amount of investment on the project, the demand for materials. is increased, thus the production of related enterprises can be increased for producing the required construction materials like steel, building material and cement, which will be purchased at local area. Bengbu City and the surrounding enterprises will benefit from that. 5 Since the construction of the project requires large number of labor workers, there will be more job opportunity and the income of the local people will be increased. 12.2.2.3 Sub-project of Guzhen County The project will greatly enhance the flood control and prevention capacity of Guzhen County through works like reinforcing the embankment, dredging the drainage canals and building (rebuilding) the flood drainage station. The rate of the urban sewage collection is increased through the building of urban sewage network. And through the building of the main sewage pipe at the source place of drinkable water, the water at the water supply points of the urban water supply company in the planning can be prevented from being polluted, thus enhancing the operation condition of the urban water supply company. The remarkable social benefits the project brings to include the following: 1 The increase of sewage collection rate creates a better living condition for the people of Guzhen County At present, since the urban drainage system of Guzhen County is in confusion, furthermore, the drainage of most of the places is made separately; the quality of the water environment in the city is bad. After cleaning and control, most of the urban places will be covered into the urban drainage system, thus promoting the level of city infrastructure construction. 2 Strengthening the protection of the source place of drinkable water to create advantageous condition for finding new water source. At present, the water used by the people of Guzhen County is sourced from the underground water. The over exploration of underground water will cause the sink of stratum, due to which most of the places of China are looking for new water sources and it has become a trend that the surface water which meets the standard of drinkable water is adopted as the Page 314 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 314/335 drinkable water. Currently, the water quality of the drinkable water source place can not meet the surface water standard of Type yet and the chief reason for this is the sewage discharged from the residential area and enterprises of the northwest part of the city deteriorates the water. The project will have the sewage of this area be led into the urban drainage system, thus improving the water quality of the water source and making the water source usable for the water supply company. 3 Improving the landscape environment along the banks of the Sanba River and promoting the city image and living environment The Sanba River is one artificially excavated riverway, which has been used as the sewage discharging canal. As a river that crosses the whole county, the water environment is low in level and does not meet the requirement of urban landscape. As the developing of the urban area, part of the residential district has been built or planned to be built along the banks of the river, and the requirement on the river landscape is higher and higher. After the rebuilding of the main sewage pipe network, most of the sewage in the urban area will not be discharged directly into the Sanba River, instead it is delivered through the sewage pipe to the waste water treatment plant(under construction), thereby the pollution of the Sanba River can be stopped to some extent and the biological self purification work of the river can be resumed, thus Guzhen can have a clean the Sanba River again. Along the banks of the Sanba River, slope protection work will be conduction, which will improve the landscape of the river further. The rebuilt banks of the Sanba River will be a good place for people to have recreation. 4 The construction of project requires labor force and there will be more opportunities of employment This project involves much in range, extends long in distance and requires large number of labor force for the construction. Because of this, the unemployment situation of this place can be relieved to some extent and the income of the local people will be increased. 5 Enhance the overall urban construction level and it will be good for attracting investment Anhui Province, as the undeveloped place in economy, is far behind the coastal cities and other developed area in urban construction level, especially some small counties. The progress of urban construction is slow as the main industry of this area is agriculture. Through this flood prevention and the comprehensive control of environment, the infrastructure will be perfected and the urban construction will be enhanced greatly, thus advantageous condition is created for attracting investment. 6 The improvement of flood prevention capacity will mitigate the influence of the natural disaster The area along the Huaihe River of Anhui is the place where flood happens frequently and suffers economic loss incurred by the flood every year. Its special geological location is one of the reasons for this. But the loss can be avoided to the most by improving the flood Page 315 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 315/335 prevention capacity. This project promote the urban flood prevention work to the standard that is able to meet the flood happening with a frequency of every 20years, the drainage of built urban area to the standard that is able to meet the flood happening with a frequency of every 10 years and the drainage ditch with the frequency of every 5 years. The improving of the flood prevention and control standard will mitigate the influence flood brings to the people and thus the people can have a safer living environment. 12.2.2.4 Sub-project of Wuhe County This project will greatly enhance the water quality and sewage treatment ability of the industrial zone of Mohekou Town, improve the quality of the drinkable water supplied to the people of Mohekou Town, increase the infrastructure and promote the living standard through environment control and building pipe network, water purification plant and waste water treatment plant. The social influences brought by this project mainly include as follows: 1 Social Benefits 1 Create better living conditions for people It makes the tap water supply be available in the rural area and the life of people become more convenient. The water environment of creeks and canals in rural area is improved after treating the waste water. The quality of the treated water is qualified enough for the agricultural production and thus the earnings of agriculture can be increased. 2 It is favorable for the development of commercial trade of the industrial zone The imperfection of the current infrastructure of the place where the project locates restricts the development of commercial trades and affects the enthusiasm of the investors seriously. The implementation of the project will perfect the infrastructure, improve the investing environment, attract more investment, strengthen the confidence of the investors and promote the development of the commercial trade forcefully in surrounding area. 3 The construction of the project requires large amount of investment, increases the demand for materials and can bring along the production of the enterprises Most of the materials required by the construction like steel, building materials and cement will be purchase in local place. Bengbu City and the surrounding enterprises will benefit from that. 4 The construction of the project requires labor force and there will be more employment opportunities, thus relieving the unemployment pressure. The construction of the whole project is planned to be conducted stage by stage, and the construction period will last 5 years, during which large number of labor force will be required, and thus the unemployment pressure will be relieved. 5 The waste water treatment system reduces the facility and operation cost of waste water treatment of each enterprise, which is good for the construction and development of the industrial zone. Page 316 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 316/335 2 Adverse Social Influence Although this project is made for improving environment, the implementation of it will also bring some adverse influences 1 After the waste water is controlled and treated, the enterprises will have to pay the added cost for waste discharge and water supply. The cost of production is increased. 2 The cost of tap water is increased and the living expense of the residents is increased (3) If the peasants abandon agricultural work and start new work without receiving sufficient vocational training in advance, it might be difficult for them to find a job. If they stay unemployed for long, there will be risks for social security. Page 317 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 317/335 13 Conclusions and Recommendations 13.1 Conclusions 13.1.1 Overall conclusion 13.1.1.1 Project summarize Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River Basin, Bengbu is an important industrial city and surface transport hub, but over the years by the Huaihe River flood discharge in the flood season, flood is frequent and the economy has suffered huge losses. Agricultural production and urban development have been affected to some extent and constrained. Bengbu City is planning to use the World Bank loan for urban flood control projects and ecological construction. The project is divided into eight sub-projects, namely : 1. "Urban drainage system and drainage pumping station construction project" 2. "Tianhe flood prevention and control project" 3. "Xijiagou flood prevention management and environmental improvement projects" 4. "Longzi Lake flood prevention and waterlogging control and environmental improvement project" 5. "Huaishang District flood prevention and waterlogging control and the urban environmental infrastructure improvement project" 6. "Guzhen County flood prevention and ecological environment project" 7. "Huaiyuan County flood prevention and ecological projects" 8. "Wuhe County flood prevention and ecological projects" Such as major construction projects involve, water projects such as the dredging of drainage pumping stations, flood control ditches and waterlogging drainage and so on. ecological control projects such as sewage pipe network, rain water pipe network, roads and bridges and other infrastructure projects, Longzi Lake dredging, ditches slope green and the restoration of vegetation and so on. Regions in construction projects include urban Bengbu, Huaishang District, Wuhe county Mo river estuary town, Huaiyuan County Chengguan Town, Grain and Oil processing district, Guzhen Town and the outskirts of the city. Page 318 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 318/335 Total project investment is 1.66 billion yuan. The construction period is five years, and the entire project is to be completed in 2012 and put into use. 13.1.1.2 Environmental background of Bengbu Ambient air quality is at level 2 in Bengbu City. The main rivers in this area include Huaihe River, Huihe River, Wohe River, Huaihong New River, Cihuai New River, Beifei River and Mochong Diversion. Surface water bodies of the city are mainly the Tianhe River Longzi Lake, Zhanggongshan Pond, Xijiagou, and Baligou and so on. The function of water body of Huaihe River in Bengbu is Class III. Water function of the Huihe River, simultaneously, and other tributaries of the river flow is Class III or IV category. Tianhe River water function is Class III, and Longzi Lake for the status quo is IV. Bengbu City drinking water is from the Huaihe River. The inlets is 200 meters up the Bengbu sluice. It has one surface water factory with water scale of 400,000 tons / day, and the status quo of the northern Huaihe River bank is that groundwater is the main source for supply water. The city has one sewage treatment plant at the west side of Xijiagou, with designed scale of 200,000 tons / day, and now it is in normal operation of 100,000 tons/day. The old urban area of Bengbu has been formed stormwater drainage system for sewage diversion system, but in western city Baligou area, the eastern area of Longzi Lake in eastern city and southwestern region of the city have not yet formed drainage network. Rain drains into the river through surface water body and ditches in the end. Now city drainage in Bengbu urban area is mainly through drainage pumping stations and from the natural drains at the shore of the Huaihe River, However, the flood water level in the Huaihe River is relatively high in the flood time, making Bengbu City water can not be discharged. If there is a storm season, necessarily it leads to severe waterlogging. So to improve the drainage capacity drainage pumping stations is very necessary. The other hand, the city of Bengbu has a large distribution of ditches and pond, and it is a natural way to use them for flood and waterlogging control, but because of serious pond sediment their storage capacity led to a massive reduction, witch is a disadvantage for flood control to reduce disasters. So when building drainage pumping station, the main canals and lakes dredging to improve the City Flood Control and Drainage capacity is extremely beneficial at the same time. According to the Bengbu City's overall development plan and the "11th Five-Year" plan for environmental protection objectives, in 2010 it will achieve the urban sewage treatment rate to reach 70%. This sets higher requirements for city sewer network construction. The status quo of Bengbu urban sewage collection rate is about 70%, but the sewerage treatment rate is less than 30%. As building of a sewage pipe network at the same time supporting the building of a sewage treatment plant is imperative. It is the base to increase the rate of Page 319 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 319/335 sewage treatment, to effectively control the total discharge of pollutants, and to achieve environmental benefits. 13.1.1.3 Project Construction Impact Analysis Conclusion z\03 Project Construction Period 1. Construction noise is concluded basically in the construction industry plants within 100 meters. In this context the environmentally sensitive point and environmental protected targets will be affected by some noise to some extent. 2. Construction dust affected area will be within the 100 meters in the leeward area, after 4-5 times of the sprinkling a day, dust affected area will decrease within 50 meters. 3. Construction wastewater includes construction operations wastewater and living wastewater of builders in the construction area. Improper disposal of the surrounding water will cause pollution to the near water body, and in turn have adverse environmental impacts to the Huaihe river water. After sedimentation through sedimentation tanks set up at the construction site, the supernatant of construction work wastewater can be collected as dust sprinkler water and for construction techniques using, making the best to minimize outside water. Wastewater with sludge at the scene shall be not disposed arbitrarily and into neighboring channels, lakes and other water bodies. It can’t be discharged into the municipal drainage channels. Wastewater should be subject to municipal departments to process, or shipped to the disposal site assigned by the municipal departments. Integrated sewage water treatment equipment should be installed to treat the living wastewater in the, which can be disposed after treatment. In principle, when having construction in the urban areas, towns, the wastewater of construction should be treated by sedimentation and then is discharged into municipal sewers, but no wastewater with sludge in it. In the uncompleted construction zone in rural or suburban area without such kind of sewers, construction wastewater must be grease trapped by precipitation and reach the discharging standard, then it can be discharged into the water body where allows the discharge water or sewers. 4. In accordance with the provisions related to environmental protection, various kind of Class III water wastewater must be treated to meet primary standard of ,QWHJUDWHG\03 :DVWHZDWHU\03'LVFKDUJH\036WDQGDUG before into Huaihe River. Into the Wohe River, Huihe River and stream tributaries of the Huaihe River, the sewage must be treated to secondary class emission standards. The waste water discharge standards and the means of discharging are in strict in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection departments for the implementation of the relevant provisions. According to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, Tianhe Ricer, as Bengbu City emergency source of drinking water, no any sewage and wastewater can be discharged into it. Remnant water of the yard for Longzi Lake dredging should reach primary standard of ,QWHJUDWHG\03:DVWHZDWHU\03'LVFKDUJH\036WDQGDUG . Page 320 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 320/335 5. Major water pollutants of the yard for Longzi Lake dredging are ammonia nitrogen and the SS. To make the yard remnant water reach the discharge standards, effective measures must be taken to decrease the concentration of the pollutants in the water, and it is proposed to increase the water retention time, increase coagulant and use other kind of methods. 6. The sludge dredged from lakes and ditches pond will not only occupy large tracts of land, but also make the groundwater and surface water polluted. Sludge disposal ways are closely related to its components. By monitoring various urban and suburban sewers and lake sediment sludge, the EIA content get to find that the contents of all urban Bengbu pond sediments are close the same. And the heavy metals in the sludge were not overweight, and meet the "soil environmental quality standards" and "agricultural sludge pollution control standards", but because of no comprehensive monitoring indicators, without excluding the results of chance, it is not entirely proven that the sludge is harmless. In order to avoid farmland and crops pollution, thus endangering the health of the population, it is not recommended for dredged sludge to be discharged into agricultural land in this EIA. After being dried naturally sludge can be back for woodland, green belt, mountain habitat sculpture made, or can be used as backfill for the site formation. Xijiagou accepts wastewater for a long period because of the sewage it accepted, most of which are industrial wastewater and sediment complex. Although it dose not exceed the third class standards of \036RLO\03(QYLURQPHQWDO\034XDOLW\ , the sludge has higher mercury content which is higher than the soil background values of Anhui province 2.2-2.9 times. Together with large amount of organic ingredients, which can easily lead stench, it is not appropriate to be used in human crowd and frequent contacting region. It is best to make them digest in the region themselves. Once it is used as roadside greening purposes, it is better to try to make the project earthwork balance and avoid disposing outside. z\03 Project Operation Period In the project running period, major pollutions include the running noise from drainage pumping stations, road and bridge traffic noise and car exhaust pollution, and tail water from Mohekou town sewage treatment plant, sewage plant odors, and the remaining sludge disposal and so on. 1. When the pump station is completed, it will be in short-term use instead of in continuous use, and generally is needed only when it is in flood period. The impact area of pumping station operating noise should be controlled in the first class type by the implementation of the 5HJLRQDO\03(QYLURQPHQWDO\031RLVH\036WDQGDUGV " (night 45dB (A), daytime 55 dB (A)) for the 220 meters at night, daytime 70 meters. In this context the environmentally sensitive point and environmental targets will be affected to some extent. 2. The proposed road noise impact is closely related to road traffic, road grading, day-traffic flow and model rate of traffic. In this project, roads only have the total traffic flow, not related to day and night and no model rate, so it is not possible to make environmental impact analysis for the proposed road traffic noise and vehicle exhaust. Page 321 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 321/335 According to information analogy, usually red line width of 40 meters in the city roads, its noise impact on the road outside the red line is 50 meters on day time, and 150 meters at night. Automobile exhaust pollution impact on the hard shoulder outside is within 20 meters. 3. In the Mohekou Industry Park area surface water factory operation period, the noise impact distance is within 10 meters from the production structures and in the water purification plant the noise emission meet the standards. Sludge production is 9 tons / day, the moisture content is 80%, and the main part of the sludge from the water purification process is silt and flocculants, which part can be considered as fertilizer for farm. 4. In the Mohekou sewage treatment plant operation period, sludge production is 14.3 tons and water content is 80%. For the high proportion of industry wastewater in the water treated by Mohekou sewage treatment plant, most of them are fine chemical industry wastewater, so sewage treatment plant the residual sludge is complex and is more likely to contain harmful toxic substances and heavy metals pollution. The EIA recommend that the park's sewage plant sludge should be shipped to the city landfill for disposal harmless, no return for farmland and drains green slope to prevent pollution of soil and groundwater. Smelly materials from the sewage plant are mainly H2S and NH3. The impact distance is 200m. Emissions of tail sewage plant water implements 'LVFKDUJH\03 6WDQGDUG\03 RI\03 3ROOXWDQWV\03 IRU\03 0XQLFLSDO\03:DVWHZDWHU\037UHDWPHQW\033ODQW (GB18918-2002) in a first class A standard, through Sanpu Lake drainage stations diversion canal into the Huaihe River. From the predicted results of the environmental impact, we can see that COD concentration of water in outfall 200m downstream can meet the features standard requirements of water environment. COD concentration at downstream 1300m place can be achieved background concentration. Tail water from Sewage treatment plants of Mohekou into the river, can cause water pollution of the Huaihe River at sewage outfall downstream of 1300m. 13.1.1.4 Project Environmental Benefits The major environmental benefits of this project reflect in the volume of emissions control to the Huaihe River, and the environmental benefits created by Mohekou Park sewage treatment plant. 1. According to 2005 statistics, in 2005 the total Bengbu City sewage is about 141.47 million tons / year. Urban sewage treatment capacity is 25.55 million tons and industrial waste water treatment capacity is 16.89 million tons. The concentrated sewage treatment rate is about 30% and the ratio of domestic wastewater to industrial wastewater is 3:2. In Bengbu City, sewage water is mainly emitted through 7urban sewage outfalls. In 2005 total outfall drainage of seven major is 107.74 million tons / year, in which Xijiagou, LongZi Lake, Baligou displacement are the biggest one. In the western city Xijiagou, Baligou accept the industrial waste easily. In the eastern city Longzi Lake accept living sewage water mainly. The local sewage pipe network has basically taken shape between Xijiagou and the Longzi Page 322 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 322/335 Lake, but it is in the lack of network connectivity. The network has not yet matured between east of Baligou and west of Longzi Lake, and the project of urban drainage works will focus on the region to build pipe network and the renovation and expansion of convergence. The pipe network construction in the Longzi Lake industrial park, new high-tech zones and part of uncompleted pie network is to raise Bengbu City sewage water collection rates. Now, in Bengbu City, only Xijiagou area has the No.1 Sewage Treatment Plant, so industrial and domestic sewage effluent in Xijiagou area are basically treated in the sewage treatment plants and then drained to Xijiagou, although Xijiagou area has the largest sewage, a lower concentration of pollutants is showed in the water. Discharge in Longzi Lake and Jiaotong Road area is less than Xijiagou, however, it has the higher concentration of the pollutants. Drainage network in Baojiagou area has not yet formed. Sewage collected by the natural drains is extremely limited, but at the same time its wastewater pollutant concentration is relatively high, showing that perfect urban sewage pipe network construction is very necessary. The project, when completed, will make an interface and adjustments to the status quo relatively fragmented drainage system. According to the plan, in 2010, it will create a more focused drainage system. 2. According to Bengbu city development planning and drainage plans, By 2010, Bengbu City's sewerage system will have been divided into four drainage system, which includes Xijiagou sewage system, Yangtaizi sewage system, northern Huaishang River sewage system, and south city sewage systems as a network. The total sewage can get to 494,100 m3/d. These sewage treatment plants will be completed in 2010 and put into use. South City Sewage Treatment Plant is has been planned to be built in 2020, but in order to be in line with the construction of World Bank's project, South City wastewater treatment plant will be completed in 2012. Without matching increase in the sewage treatment plant construction after city drainage projects completed, the increasing in sewage and the concentration of outfalls may lead to the pollution discharged into the river much higher than the total volume of emissions in 2005 and to the adverse environmental impact in the river water. According to the EIA forecast in the near future if only to maintain the status quo Xijiagou 100,000 tons / day of processing capacity before 2,010, then, in 2010, with an increase to the amount of waste water, it will get to 1.68 times higher than in 2005 while the pollutants discharged into the river COD and ammonia emissions will rise to the 1.87 and 1.80 times to the status quo in 2005 respectively. If in 2010 the planned Xijiagou sewage plant is to be completed 200,000 tons / day, Yangtaizi sewage plant 100,000 tons / day, North Huaishanghe sewage plant on a 25,000 ton / day, and they are in a full operation, in 2010 the sewage volume is 70% increase compared to 2005. The pollutants discharged into the river COD emissions will be basically the same to the status quo in 2005 on the total amount (increased by only 6.2 %), and ammonia emissions will decrease by 9.3% compared to 2005. Page 323 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 323/335 According to the EIA forecast, in 2010 if all the planning sewage plants will be completed and put into use, urban sewage can all be treated effectively, then the influenced distance of Bengbu City sewage into the river is within 2.4km from the Mohekou section downstream (32.5km downstream from Bengbu sluice), and the quality of the Huaihe River will be under control in the scope of Bengbu area. The forecast results indicate that if each sewage plant can ensure the emissions standards, the increase in the volume of sewage discharge will not have environment obvious adverse effects to the river downstream water. If accident emissions happen in the sewage treatment plant, it will increase the river's pollution levels and risks. According to the forecast, if sewage treatment plant can not get an effective sewage treatment, up to standard, the COD pollution influence will be increased from Mohekou section to 57km downstream water (87km downstream from Bengbu sluice). Ammonia pollution from the estuary will be increased from Mohekou section to 67km downstream. (107km downstream from Bengbu sluice). It visibly will have significant impact on the lower reaches of the Huaihe River. In summary, the city pipeline project with the construction of sewage treatment work, is the basic way to achieve the fundamental environmental benefits. 3. In the Mohekou Park sewage treatment plant project, the increase of strength of Mohekou town park construction and attraction of investment will make estuary town of sewage rapidly increase in the planning year. The wastewater collected by the pipe network and discharged into the river will increase the receiving volume of Huaihe River. So the park's sewage plant construction operation is bound to reduce the pollutants discharged into the river total. According to the EIA accounting of the park's sewage plant, pollutant abatement proportion of the total COD reduction is 50%, and ammonia reduction is 66.7%. Tail water Mohekou sewage plant discharges into the Huaihe River will lead a certain degree of pollution from the outfall to the downstream 1300m within the scope of the Huaihe River water. 13.1.2 Program evaluation findings 13.1.2.1 City drainage Project Regional distribution of construction is in Bengbu the Old City, high-tech zones, Dragon Seed Lakes Industrial Park. The main contents of the building include 4 pump stations, rain sewage pipe network and three sewage upgrade pump stations, and the new district road as the three parts of the contents. The total project investment is 388.9387 million yuan, and the construction period is four years, in preparation for full operation in 2012 The status of Bengbu urban stormwater drainage is through various drainage ditches and with the surrounding surface water bodies into Huaihe River. While the drainage system in old city district was basically completed, but there are still some sections of connectivity which is not complete, therefore, it is necessary to connect the stormwater drainages in these sections with the pipeline network to form a complete drainage system. So that part of the contents of construction is basically renovation and expansion project. The pipelines Page 324 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 324/335 dispersed widely, so the project work is not large, but due to many environmentally sensitive points in this construction period, the impact construction is heavy. The proposed high-tech development zones and Longzi Lake Park stormwater pipeline are new projects. The meaning of the construction is to collect the wastewater from west Longzi Lake area and west Baligou area in high-tech zones into the southern city sewerage system of sewage. In the long-term management of wastewater plan, this part of wastewater collected from network will enter the planning southern city sewage treatment plant, which makes a fundamental condition for achieving long-term goal sewage treatment rate reaching 70%. The proposed four drainage pumping stations project is basically renovation and expansion projects. The plans is the original pump station expansion alterations or upgrading of equipment to improve its drainage capacity for flood control, strengthening old Bengbu City flood season safety. In the Longzi Lake Park, high-tech zones in the region, roads and the construction of pipelines are basically new projects, and it mainly improves the infrastructure construction of the area. The main influence in the construction period is the construction noise and construction dust. Dust from the impact of the construction is 100 meters outside of the construction border. Through frequent watering it can affect the impact scope and makes it within 50 meters. The influence distance of construction noise is within100 meters from the outside of construction factory site on daytime. Construction spoil should be backfilling in priority. Once it is used as roadside greening purposes, it is better to try to make the project earthwork balance and avoid disposing outside. When projects completed and put into operation, the main environmental problem is draining the running noise impact and the influenced distance is 70 meters for daytime, and night of 220 meters. In this context the environmentally sensitive point and environmental protected targets will be affected by some noise to some extent. Major solid waste in the operation period is from the waterlogging pump station gate residue. Each year about 3,000 tons drainage station gate slag will be produced. Part of the gate residue will be handed over to sanitation departments and treated together with living garbage. Under the condition of strengthening construction management and the implementation of environmental protection measures, the project of building will lead little impact to the surrounding environment. Major social benefits of the construction projects are perfecting environment for infrastructure construction, improving drainage capacity in the urban area, the promotion of high-tech zones and Longzi Lake Park on the overall development, enhancing the city's flood control and drainage resilience capacity, and improving the living quality of city residents for the realization of long-term overall planning, environmental planning objectives of 11th Five-Year Plan to lay a solid foundation. Page 325 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 325/335 13.1.2.2 Tianhe drainage station construction project z\03 Analysis of impact in the construction period Pollutants emitted are mainly concentrated in the construction period. The water pollutants include living sewage and manufacturing wastewater (oily waste water, sludge and waste water drainage pit) in the construction area. the main pollutants in domestic sewage is COD and its highest emissions is 20 tons / day. The main pollutants in manufacturing wastewater is the SS. Atmospheric pollutants are mainly construction dust and construction machinery and transport vehicles’ fuel emissions, which are not quantitative intermittent emissions. The highest living garbage production is 0.34 tons / day. The source of sound environment impact is from construction machinery and transport vehicles which produce the mechanical noise. The noise is about 75 to 105dB (A) 1m near the mechanical equipment. Wastewater of construction after precipitation is all back to the construction site as possible, reducing the volume of wastewater discharge. Construction living sewage collection should be collected together and treated in sewage treatment facilities to meet the first class emission standard and then discharged into the river. Various of construction wastewater is forbidden to be discharged into the Tianhe. As the construction period of less sewage, the treated wastewater into the river water will not cause significant adverse environmental effects. z\03 Operation Impact Analysis In the operation period of the project, the main pollutant is Tianhe Drainage Station operating noise, which standalone operation noise is 75-85 dB (A). Wastewater discharge is produced from the Tianhe Station sewage. Solid waste discharge is mainly from Tianhe gate station slag and the lives of the workers. In the operating period, Tianhe station operator will create noise source about 90-100dB (A), and the influenced distance is about 220 meters at night, daytime 70 meters. It will mainly have some impact to the pumping station management district workers living and working on the 80 meters northeast pumping station some. The neighboring villages are affected little. In the operating period wastewater is mainly from living wastewater of workers in Tianhe wastewater pumping stations and road drainage. The volume of living wastewater is 7.65m3 / d, and it will be pretreated by septic tanks and package treatment facilities to achieve first class emission standard and then is discharged into the Huaihe River. The main solid waste in pumping station in the operator period is the gate slag and the living garbage of workers. Gate slag production is 3,600 t / a (60% water content), in which leaves, twigs, grass, fiber and other floating objects are the main waste. The production of living garbage is 0.8t / a, solid waste will be shipped to the garbage collection and transportation systems, handled by the sanitation department. 13.1.2.3 Xijiagou projects z\03 Pollutant emissions Page 326 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 326/335 Pollutants emitted are mainly concentrated in the construction period. The water pollutants include living sewage and manufacturing wastewater (including manufacturing wastewater and the trickling water of the dredging sludge) in the construction area. The main pollutant in domestic sewage is COD and its highest emission is 50 tons / day. The main pollutants in manufacturing wastewater is the SS. Atmospheric pollutants are mainly construction dust and construction machinery and transport vehicles’ fuel emissions, which are not quantitative intermittent emissions. The discarded soil is 375000 m3 /d. The highest living garbage production is 0.25 tons / day. The source of sound environment impact is from construction machinery and transport vehicles which produce the mechanical noise. The noise is about 75 to 105dB (A) 1m near the mechanical equipment. z\03 Construction impact The main impact is operations wastewater, excavation and dredging silt water seepage and construction living sewage on the water environment. The main pollutants in construction operations wastewater and seepage water is the SS, which is discharged into upstream of Baligou and Xijiagou rivers after the construction site settling tank. After sedimentation in septic tank, life sewage is discharged into Baligou and Xijiagou rivers. As the construction period of less sewage, the treated wastewater into the river water will not cause significant adverse environmental effects. The major impact on the atmospheric environment in the construction period is the dust, fuel emissions and stench of sludge to the environment. The impact from construction bulldozers dust is 150m, and the road dust is 35-40m. The effect of odor is 30m from the leeward wind. Environmental protection measures can slow the impact and scope. The impact of sound environment is from the noise of construction machinery and transport vehicles. While construction works in the factory sector meet Noise Limits for Construction Site standard, on this premise, average noise influenced distance throughout the construction phase is 100m at daytime, but it will reach 350m on piling phase. The ecological environment affects in the construction period in the area include ground occupation, soil erosion and the impact on biological aspects. Construction area covers about 1,300 acres, of which Baligou marsh land banking project covering 840 acres. Xijiagou bulldozers project covers a total area of about 450-500 acres. If the project does not take water and soil conservation measures, the amount of soil erosion is about 860-890 tons / year. The impact of biological performance in the short run to the river is to the number of benthic organisms. The impact to the vegetation on the occupied land and construction dust falls on the leaves of the surrounding vegetation will affect their normal photosynthesis. z\03 Environmental Benefit The environmental benefit of the operation of the project is primarily reflected in Baligou and Xijiagou water environment improvement. After quality improvement it will play a role to promote the ecosystem in a virtuous cycle. The quality improvement of Baligou and Xijiagou rivers provide the prerequisite and guarantee for the Huaihe River water quality to meet Page 327 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 327/335 standards. After the regional environmental improvement, the urban landscape, the face of the city skyline and the surrounding environment quality will be improved significantly. 13.1.2.4 Longzi Lake Project z\03 Pollution Sources Analysis The main pollutants include water pollution, air pollution, noise and solid waste created in the construction period. Water pollutants include trickle water of dredging works, about 2396m3 / d. The total volume of a small number of construction operations wastewater and construction staff living wastewater is about 25,200 tons. Atmospheric pollutants mainly include construction dust and a small number of construction machinery and transport vehicles fuel emissions. Construction machinery and transport vehicles from the mechanical noise is the main source of sound environmental impact, and 1m away from the sound source the noise value is 70-100dB (A) while these mechanical equipment running. Solid waste includes dredged sludge 1150000 m3, the building construction site residues, material and about 126 tons of daily garbage created by construction staff. The main pollutant of the Longzi Lake in the operation of the project period during pumps running in the flood pumping station is the mechanical noise. Its stand-alone operation noise is about 75 ~ 80dB (A). z\03 Construction impact Construction major impact is from the southern Longzi Lake for dredging and Longzi Lake Pump Station project. Southern Longzi Lake for dredging project has the major environmental impacts of the over water discharges on water environment, stench caused to the atmospheric and environmental impact of dredging on benthic creatures. According to the EIA forecast, TN and TP influenced scope on Longzi Lake water quality is about 600m. Under normal circumstances TN and TP contribution at a distance of about 450m away from the outfall is lower than the concentration of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water -class water quality standard. Under abnormal circumstances, TN at a distance of 550m away from the outfall mouth and TP at a distance of 800m away from the water outfall, contribution to the concentration are lower than the concentration of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water III-class water quality standards for the relevant provisions. The influenced distance of the stench from sediment yard is about 30m. Dredging works will cause short- term benthic creature numbers decline and after the project this influence will disappear. The types and quantities of river benthos will recover gradually. The major environmental impact of Longzi Lake Pump Station construction period is construction machinery noise, dust and wastewater of construction. Daytime construction noise impact distance is 400m, but the distance at night is affected more than 500m. Daytime and nighttime construction will make adversely affect to the Xingfu Village on the east. The impact construction dust from is about 150m. Without effective measures, a dozen Page 328 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 328/335 households in the village near the construction site will be adversely affected. Construction of wastewater by precipitation including wastewater containing suspended solids and a small amount of oily wastewater, wastewater containing suspended solids will be discharged into the river after sedimentation treatment. Construction living sewage will be discarded into the river after treatment through the of small integrated sewage treatment plant. z\03 Impact in operation period The major impact on the environment in the operation period is mainly the noise of operation compressor pumps and machinery of Longzi Lake pump station to the acoustic environment. According to the most adverse forecast, the noise impact value from Longzi Lake pump station pumps to Xingfu village is 55.1 dB (A), and the noise impact value from the main pumps room is 43.1 dB (A). Because of high background noise in Xingfu village, it will lead to noise superposed overweight for Longzi Lake drainage pumping station running noise with the background noise and it will make adverse acoustic environmental impact to the Xingfu village at the east when the pump station is running. However, the pump station only is under running by the flood drainage, so the impact on the periphery of is short-term to its acoustic environment. In the actual operation, the extent and scope of the adverse impact will be less than forecast in this report. z\03 Conclusion of environmental benefits analysis The project total investment is about 265 million yuan, of which 3.7 million is for environmental protection, about 1.40% of the total investment. This cost is main for dredging project water treatment, yard grass and environmental monitoring. After completion of the project, Longzi Lake water and the ecological environment of the lakefront will be improved, and this will increase tourism revenue, reduce economic losses flood disasters lead. Its environmental economy is obvious for enabling the land value in the surrounding area to rise. 13.1.2.5 Guzhen County project z\03 Project construction period 1. Ditch pond dredging and sediment transport process stench will have an impact on the surrounding environment. The process of digging in a ditch covered in the dredging project will be more obvious odor. 30m outside reaches a second level strength, a slight odor, and the stench below the limit of intensity (2.5-3.5 level). 50m outside, it is basic odorless. The dredging project on pond is mainly in the old side streets, where residents are more concentrated, and some sensitive points on pond outside are within 30 m, or even living in the ditch side. Ditch pond dredging will make them temporarily influence to a certain extent. 2. The project to build dams, flood control road construction, urban network projects such as the laying of the construction will cause dust pollution. Construction bulldozers dust in the affected areas is within 150 m. Road construction dust as unorganized sector sources, the highest concentration of it outside the border should be less than 1.0 mg/m3. Under the circumstances without sprinkler, the impact from the roadside is 50 ~ 100 m. Under the Page 329 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 329/335 sprinkler circumstances, the impact distance is about 35 to 40 m. During the construction process, special attention is paid on the urban network construction, as most of the constructions are around city roads, and both sides of the construction site are crowded areas. In these sections of the construction process, particular attention will be paid to take measures and try to minimize dust pollution. 3. Construction noise impact on the environment is mainly in piling stage. Under the conditions to ensure that the construction site noise meets the standard, on piling stage daytime factory border outside 350m noise meets standards and the remaining phases of daytime factory border outside 80 to 100m outside noise meets the standard. The residents at a distance of 100m construction site will be affected by the construction noise, and the residents from the construction site within 350 m will be influenced by construction noise on piling phase. 4. The solid waste including: sludge dredging garbage, sediment for the ponds, the earth in the process of dredging ditches, the earth of excavation, the roots, aggregates and so on; The abandoned building materials at the pumping station renovation; The material loss in the process of transporting materials, including gravel, concrete, etc.; And the loss and desertion of paving stone, ash, construction materials in the road dressing stage. The total ditch pond dredging is about 30,000m3, and the landfill site is located in the eastern town near the sulfuric acid plant, about 2.5 km from the Niushi Alley. The landfill was put into use in 2002, disposing of 150 t life solid waste. The total river dredging earthwork excavation volume is 273,400m3, planning for local channels slope reinforcement. There is little impact on the environment for none outside earthwork in the entire dredging process. Construction living garbage production is 1.5 t/d, timely delivery of sanitation sector to designated locations for disposal. 5. During the construction, site cleaning, pipeline laying, concrete modulation, construction and implementation of the installation works, will bring a certain amount of water and construction abandoned water. But the sub-item sewage emission is little. 6. Soil erosion analysis of the item Possible soil erosion of the main construction phase is in the process of excavation for laying the ground pipeline, and bulldozers dredging. However, due to the implementation of the project belonging to plain areas, soil erosion is unlikely. 7. Traffic impact Construction impact on the traffic is mainly on the impact of road traffic. Pipeline road construction to break road will lead to obstruct traffic, the earth moving stow obstruct traffic, and transport vehicles lead to the road traffic increases. z\03 Operation Period Page 330 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 330/335 The main adversely affect in the operation period to the environment is the main drainage pump station noise and flood the roads wastewater. 1. Noise of pumping stations The nearest environmentally sensitive point to the pumping station is the small furniture factory 10m east of Guxi drainage pump station. 10m from the pump station the noise has attenuated to have 40 to 45 dB (A), below the Measuring Method of Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB - 1993) daytime 50 dB (A) the standard value, also reaches the night of 45 dB (A) of the standard value. 2. Flood road wastewater The total discharge volume of pollutants in the surface water of the four flood dike roads, Huihe left embankment road, the Jiegou road, LiuYuangangou road and the Sanba river right embankment road are: COD 47.74 kg / d, BOD5 8.68 kg / d, oil 0.87 kg / d, SS 121.53 kg / d, TP 0.36 kg / d, TN 1.31 kg / d. 13.1.2.6 Huaiyuan County project 1. The project, when completed, vehicle emission pollutants of Chengguan town where it is foodstuff processing base is more than those of no project. This is mainly because the construction of road for foodstuff processing base from scratch, and the total length of road is 15000m and lead to increasing pollution load. However, by the analysis on the whole project, its overall benefits after completion is obviously greater than its environmental issues. Besides, automobile exhaust can also be reduced by taking other environmental measures such as restricting the traffic volume and driving speed, and planting green plants. 2. The road works project of Chengguan Town, one of thefoodstuff processing bases, can greatly enhance its traffic capacity and promote the development of public transport, save people’s traveling time, and help its promotion in economy as an industrial zone. 3. The City drainage Project on storm will clear the sludge from the flood discharge ditch and water storage ponds. At the same time distribution network will be improved, drainage pumping station will be new built or extended, as to integrated the city's drainage system and raise the city's overall flood control drainage capabilities. Therefore it can improve the environment of flood controlling ditches and water storage ponds, and reduce the threat level of flood damage to the city and the public. Although the drainage pumping stations will produce some noise when in operation, the affected area by the noise is small and can meet emission standards by damping and noise isolation protective measures. 4. There will build green belts on both sides of the road to the foodstuff processing base. While in the projects of the Luotuo Ridge and the pond in Chinese medicine Hospital there are the vegetation restoration work. So the whole project will increase the city green space for Huaiyuan County and thus improve the city's ecological environment, reduce the exposed soil of the area, improve the water conservation capacity, beautify of the urban landscape and increase urbanization speed and the people's living standards. Page 331 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 331/335 5. in the construction period, the engineering will occupy urban green land, and the construction dust, noise and so on will have adverse impact on urban social and ecological environment, air quality and noise at varying degrees. Therefore the evaluation here has suggested comprehensive measures for pollution control in the construction period. As long as managing strictly, taking prevention and mitigation measures, environmental impacts in the construction can be reduced minimal. Impacts in the construction period are temporary, most of the environment factors can be restored to the status quo level after the construction period ends. 6. In this project, public participation is serious and viable. Participants are all involved in voluntary. Public participation and the scope of the information in the media disclosed has provided the city public especially the affected agencies a convenient way to be aware of the project, and at the same time provided a good channel to know the demand of the public particularly the affected public's. In the public participation process, 100% of the public on this project are in a supportive attitude, which fully express the desire of improving public transport current status. The public has also fully realized the project possible environmental issues in the periods of construction and operation. 7. To ensure effective control and mitigation of the project’s environmental impact, in construction and operation phase it is necessary to do environmental management and monitoring s standardized and scientifically. Strictly implement the environmental monitoring program in the construction and the operation stage, and environmental management measures, and accomplish the environmental training to the corresponding staff. In summary, the construction of urban transport projects and flood control, drainage projects in Huaiyuan County with the World Bank loan works with a master development plan. The implementation of the project will play a positive role on the city's rapid developments .The environment impact of the project in the construction period will be temporary. In the operation period, the flood prevention project has no environmental impact. While the pumping stations and traffic to the foodstuff processing base will have some impact on the surrounding environment. Through the corresponding mitigation measures, it can be reduced to an acceptable level. Therefore, as long as the project strictly implement the environmental protection measures in the EIA report during the construction and the operation period, this project is feasible. 13.1.2.7 The Huaishang District project z\03 Pollution Source Analysis 1. The wastewater in the construction process includes production wastewater and the constructors’ sewage. Constructors’ sewage production is 65 tons/d at most. The main pollution sources is atmospheric dust of the construction, machinery fuel emissions. The affected area is the construction site and along the road of transportation. The construction noise is from the pumping station, the road excavator, grader, roller, concrete layer machines Page 332 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 332/335 used in road engineering. The construction solid wastes include construction debris, trashed soil in the construction site, silt and the constructors’ garbage. 2. In operation period, environmental pollution mainly comes from the running noise of the drainage pumping stations at Beifei River, gate slag at the station and the living garbage of the workers. Gate slag production is 6,500 t / a (moisture content of 80% -85%). Garbage, the production of 0.8t / a, is to be transported to garbage collection system, and to be dealt with by the Environmental sanitation department. The main pollution of roads in operation comes mainly from car exhaust emissions, whose main ingredients are hydrocarbons, NOx, CO, vehicles noise, rain water pollution caused by road ground runoff. z\03 Environmental Impact in the construction period 1. Construction dust is generally within scope of 100m to dust sources under wind direction. Sprinkler 4 ~ 5 times every day at the construction site conditions, its dust pollution scope can be reduced by the distance to 20 ~ 50m range. 2. At the construction site the main pollutant of the wastewater is SS. The proposed treatment method is natural precipitation, as to reuse the water for dust suppression sprinklers and concrete water conservation at the construction site. A small amount of wastewater unable to reuse will be discharged into a nearby water body after precipitation and meeting the emission standards. The sewage in Construction period is treated by small integration biochemical sewage treatment equipment. If it is directly discharged into the Huaihe River, it must meet ,QWHJUDWHG\03 :DVWHZDWHU\03 'LVFKDUJH\03 6WDQGDUG of standard requirements of level 1. 3. The environmental impact of the construction noise is mainly piling stage. Ensure that noise at the construction boundary has met the standards. While at piling intervals, noise at 350m during daytime to the construction boundary should meet the standards, it is 80-100m outside the boundary during all the other stages. At a distance of 100m outside the construction site the residents will be influenced by the construction noise, while at a distance of 350m outside the construction site the residents will be influenced by the piling noise. 4. In the construction site, trashed silt and garbage are collected and handled by the environment sanitation department. It is prohibited to pile them in the coastal water bodies, to contaminate of groundwater and surface water body. z\03 Impacts in Operation 1. When Roads are built and used, moving vehicles exhaust pollutant emissions of major pollutants for CO, NOx, CH. The affected distance is 20m to the road. 2. The main pollutants in road rainwater are SS, COD. Their concentration of pollutants reaches the maximum in the 0 to 15 minutes, and then reduced gradually. The water quality stabilized after an hour of raining. Therefore road rainwater collection system should be enhanced to avoid the surrounding water pollution risk. Page 333 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 333/335 3. When the Pump Station starts in flood season, noise at the distance of 10m is about 55dB, meets standard Class 2of \030HDVXULQJ\030HWKRG\03RI\03(QYLURQPHQWDO\03 1RLVH\03RI\03 8UEDQ\03$UHD (GB - 1993). For new roads, noise affected distance is 30 m outside the red line of the road. 4. In the operation period of drainage stations the total amount of the gate slag 6,500 t / year (moisture content of 80% -85%). The Staffs’ annual garbage production at the pumping station is 0.8t / a. It should be dealt with by sanitation workers. 13.2 Suggestions 13.2.1 Mohekou Park Project In Mohekou Town industrial park, there are all industrial projects, and more concentrated. Without enough self-examination and park management capacity constraints, the products and most of the raw and auxiliary materials for the chemical raw materials or chemicals, inevitably leaks. It is usually a certain phenomena. In the storm season, a lot of the early rain runoff may contain a certain amount of chemical raw materials and reagents, and the production of untreated wastewater in a short period of time can not be effectively turned into the park sewage pipe network, it flow directly into the river via the overland flow, because of its complex contents and outfall near the Huaihe River, with no buffer facilities, the early part of the straight flow of rainfall into the river is more likely be water pollution risk generated. To reduce the Mohekou water pollution in the chemical park estuary of the river and decrease the risk of pollution to a minimum, the EIA program design consideration to the early part of rainwater collection and disposal problems. It is suggested to locate early rain buffer pool in the park, in order to conduct the initial rainwater collection and temporary storage, accordingly pipeline and the construction of rainwater collection will initially enter the sewage treatment plant for effective treatment. Within the park, there are chemical industrial enterprises and special sewage water differs from a general sewage, water quality analysis of the sewage plant influent should be done and appropriate and effective treatment process should be introduced to ensure that the sewage plant effluent discharge standards. Taking into account of poor circumstances the effect of pretreatment enterprises, the wastewater treatment plant influent water quality and abnormal fluctuations. the Process should have some adjustments and the ability to shock. Sewage plant tail water eventual destination is the Huaihe River. Once the sewage plant does not operate properly, tail water discharge will seriously affected the water quality of the Huaihe River. Therefore, the sewage treatment plant design recommendations consider many contingency plans, such as: water supply, electricity, water influent volume anomaly, flood control, no standby equipment failures and so on. In particular, the incident occurred when a corresponding emergency treatment measures sewage plant to reduce non-normal condition of the adverse effects of the Huaihe River. Page 334 RIg00002 A17978/CIGZ070287 XDH/GDM August 2007 Page: 334/335 13.2.2 Xijiagou projects According to %HQJEX\03&LW\\03'UDLQDJH\033ODQQLQJ\03 (2005 ~ 2020), the project is located south of regional sewerage system. In the South Sewage Treatment Plant planning completed in 2020, Xijiagou sewage treatment plants have been operating close to capacity. Thus, when Xijiagou, Baligou river improvement project is finished, the sewage in the south of Tushan Road is still no reasonable way to proceed. Although the river training works will be completed and Baligou and Xijiagou along the outfall for money-blocking, but the film in the region of untreated sewage will continue through different channels and ultimately into the seats of Xijiagou and Baligou, eventually the Huaihe River flows. Therefore the item on water environment improvement role will be greatly reduced, would not achieve the desired results. Therefore, the construction of the Bengbu City sewage treatment plant should speed up. The EIA projects proposed in the construction of this project, start Chengnan sewage treatment plant construction projects. When Xijiagou and Baligou river training works finishes, while wastewater treatment plant has not yet completed, temporarily wastewater in the region take a seat in Xijiagou sewage or Yangtaizi sewage disposal system. 13.2.3 Longzi Lake Project 1. Dredging should strictly control Dredging depth, avoid Dredging Project on benthic sediments and submerged plants root which will cause serious damage. 2. Revetment natural and ecological revetment combination of the Longzi Lake along the berm for dressing, avoid the use of hard revetment and cutting surface ecosystems, affecting Longzi Lake coastal ecological environment. 3. Ensure the Dredging works results to the implementation, we recommend Lake coastal wastewater emissions control from the production, for the heavily polluting enterprises move out as soon as possible. 4. After completion of this project, it is strictly prohibited random grab for aquaculture around Longzi Lake to control the impact of agricultural non-point source pollution on the water quality of Longzi Lake.
