As a stand-alone document, the EMP contains all the environmental protection activities to be put into effect, providing guidance for the mitigation measures, environmental management and environmental monitoring of the project in both the construction and operation phases. The main contents are as follows: * General introduction of the project * Summary of potential environmental impact of the project * Environmental management organizations and its responsibility * Environmental management plan * Environmental monitoring plan Objective of the environmental management plan The World Bank financed environment improvement project in Panzhihua City involves specific and strict environmental assessment, in order to reduce the social and environmental adverse impact as much as possible, through impact mitigation measures. As to the inevitable environmental impact of the project, a main objective of the environment assessment is to determine the potential impact of the project, and develop a set of measures which is feasible and practical in technical and economic for implementation during construction and operation phase. The mitigation measures suggested in the environmental assessment report will be adopted where reasonably and effective in the environment management plan with further details as may be needed for implementation in the construction and operation phases. The function of EMP is to develop a list of measures for mitigation, monitoring and institutional arrangements to avoid or control the adverse environmental impact of the project, and to provide the specific activities for the implement of the measures. The EMP will be the important connection between the environmental counter-measures and the environmental mitigation measures suggested by EIA. 2 1 Introduction 1.1 Significance of the project Panzhihua City is an important industry base for steel vanadium, titanium and energy in China. Industrial development is put in the first place while urban construction lags behind relatively in the past. In order to build Panzhihua City into a modernized metropolis, the urban construction process must be accelerated and the urban environment improved. The environment improvement project for which a World Bank loan will be used is in response to the demand of Panzhihua City development. The construction of the project can beautify the urban environment of Panzhihua City and improve the landscape along the Jinshajiang River. It can also provide an essential basis for improving the city municipal and transportation service and living environment, and lay a solid foundation for turning Panzhihua into a beautiful city. At the same time, it can improve traffic condition of the city, optimize the city layout, expand urban areas of the city and support the sustainable economic development of the city. 1.2 Composing and primary technology index of the project The project consists of riverbank slope protection, upper section of Binjiang Road, interceptor and trunk sewers, scenery project and last section of Bingren Road. The four subsections are collectively known as environmental improvement project along the the Jinshajiangjiang River. The scope of the riverbank slope protection along two sides of The Jinshajiangjiang River is from Xinzhuang Bridge to Jinjiang railway station, and the total length is 2×30km. The key section is from Dukou Bridge to Midi Bridge. The upper section of Binjiang Road begins at the west of Panzhuhua hydrological station, and along the south bank of the Jinshajiangjiang River. The total length is 2.20km. The interceptor and trunk sewers consist of sewage pipe, part of the network for Qingxiangping Sewage Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), and Wushisi to Bingcaogang sewage pipe. The scenery project includes four spelled pastures. Last section of Bingren Road starts from Airport Access Road to Durenxi Road, and the total length is 6.81 km (including Dusongshuliangzi tunnel and Basiqing tunnel). The gross investment budget of the project is RMB 1220.65 millions Yuan (nearly $ 147.42 millions), which the budget of RMB 577.94 millions Yuan (nearly $ 69.80 millions) will be from the World Bank loan, and of RMB 642.71 millions Yuan (nearly $ 77.6217 millions) will be from the place self-provides necessary fund. 3 2 Objectives of environmental protection 2.1 Protected objectives of water environment Jinshajiangjiang river is the main water source for domestic and industrial water supplies to Panzhihua city.

Areas affected by the noise and waste smoke mostly locate along the Panzhihua City road. In the outline of the EIA, scope of the assessment of the Environmental Impact in the project is listed according to degree of the impact. 3.3.1 Surface water environment The scope of the EIA is the urban section of Jinshajiangjiang River which lies from Geliping to the 1km downstream of the environmental improvement project along the Jinshajiang River. The total length of the river reach is 54km. 3.3.2 Ambient air The scope of the assessment is in the range of 200m on both sides of the road and 500m around the construction area which includes process of the concrete. 3.3.3 Acoustic environment The scope of the assessment is in the range of 200m on both sides of the road, and 200m around the construction site. 3.3.4 Ecological environment Aquatic ecosystem: same as surface water assessment scope. Terrestrial ecosystem: In the range of 200m on both bank of the environmental 11 improvement project along the Jinshajiang River, and in the range of 300m on both sides of the Bingren Road last section, with gross area of 24.99km2. Water and soil conservation: all the construction sites including permanent and temporary sites and the directly influenced area including constructional road, with gross area of 847.61ha. 3.3.5 Social Environment The scope of the assessment is the whole city, especially the affected areas along the construction line. 3.4 Assessment on environmental impact 3.4.1 Water environment impact 3.4.1.1 Construction phase During construction phase, the main impact sources on water quality come from riverside construction activities and wastewater discharge. There is open excavation during construction of bridge foundation, which may cause runoff from the construction areas. Because the discharge period is short, and the quantity is little, the impact on water environment is small. The riverbank slope protection project will be constructed along the river, so cofferdam and foundation construction may cause wastewater discharging and earth sliding into the river. The main pollutants are SS and oil. The wastewater of concrete mixing system comes from revolving drum and material tank flushing. The flushing wastewater is characterized with high SS concentrations, small quantities and centralized intermittent discharges. But the SS concentrations of flushing wastewater exceeds the discharge standard seriously, the wastewater will be treated before discharge. In a word, if the construction activities are regulated and the quantity of earth into the river is controlled, the concentration of SS and oil won’t increase evidently for the large runoff, high speed and violent turbulence. 3.4.1.2 Operation phase (1) Impact on water quality brought by interceptor and trunk sewers According to the local plan, Qingxiangping sewage WWTP will be constructed at the same time as the sewerage network of this project. In the operation phase, the sanitary sewage in Qingxiangping and Wushisi- Bingcaogang drainage catchments will be 12 transported to the treatment plant by the interceptor and trunk sewers and discharged after treated. This avoids the adverse influence caused by the sanitary sewage discharged directly at present. It is estimated that the sewer component will intercept 68,700 m3 wastewater currently discharged to Jinshanjiang river without any treatment, representing about 165 t COD every year. By intercepting and removing this direct discharge, the project plays a positive role in improving the water quality of the Jinshajiang River. The impact on water environment is studied by the use of the steady two-dimensional water quality model. Taking the worst condition into account, the averaged flow in lowest flow month is 562m3/s. The results shows that, in the worst situation, the water quality of 1350m downstream the trunk sewers outlet will reach the water quality of standard Ⅲ. While after the operation of Qingxiangping WWTP, the water quality meets standard Ⅲ beyond 20m downstream the trunk sewers outlet. As all the municipal water intakes has a long distance with the outlet of the trunk sewers, the influence on water quality brought about by the operation of sewerage network is little. (2) Impact on water quality brought by riverbank slope protection During the operation of the riverbank slope protection sub-protect, riverbed and the crosssection will be more stable and the flow will be smoother. At the same time, the riverside solid waste will be prevented to enter river by the project. This is helpful to reduce soil erosion in the Jinshajiang River watershed and protect the water quality of the Jinshajiang River and the Yangtze River. (3) Impact on water quality of road operation Service and management station will not be set up along the proposed roads, and the road operation will be put into municipal traffic management. Hence during operation phase, there is no increased living sewage. But in rainy days during the road operation phase, the contamination of tail-gas and flying dust which fall on the road surface will flow into water with the runoff, and affect water quality adversely. Taking correlative research results as reference, the forecast results show that the ratio of the road surface flow to the river flow is small and the increased concentration in the Jinshajiang River brought about by road surface flow is little. Therefore, the impact on water environment brought by road surface flow is not obvious. 13 3.4.2 Impact on ambient air quality 3.4.2.1 Construction phase The air pollution during construction phase primarily comes from excavating, stacking waste, transport and asphalt blending. The main pollutants are flying dust and asphalt smoke. Panzhihua City lies in the arid valley of the Jinshajiang River. The flying dust is serious in dry season. During the construction period of roads and sewers, some construction activities such as excavating, piling and transport will bring about a great deal of dust, and bring adverse impact on the ambient air. Effective measures must be taken for reducing or avoiding the adverse impact. The proposed road is designed as asphalt concrete road surface. During asphalt mixing process, asphalt smoke will be produced. Nowadays, blending technology in enclosed plant equipped with dust-control facilities is usually adopted during road construction. Asphalt is transported to the construction field in high-temperature containers without heating equipment. So emission concentration of asphalt smoke is low. Furthermore, the scale of the proposed road is small. By computation, the asphalt paving period of the proposed Binjiang Road is 8 days, and that of Bingren road is about 18 days. It shows that the asphalt paving will not last long time, and the impact on ambient air quality is small. According to the construction plan, the asphalt blending stations will be located at the flat field near the proposed Basiqing Tunnel exit of Bingren Road. There are no residential houses within 100m leeward, so asphalt smoke in blending process will not affect the sensitive spots. 3.4.2.2 Operation phase During operation phase, the main pollution source of air is automobile tail-gas of the proposed Binjing and Bingren road, and its main contaminant is NOx. According to the factual situation and World Bank experts’ opinion, CALINE4 model is adopted. The forecast results show that in medium and long terms, the concentration of NOx at the spots 15m far away from the center line of Binjiang Road will exceed the standard, and the exceeding values are 0.009 mg/m3 and 0.02 mg/m3 respectively. Beyond 20m, concentration of NOx meets the standard. All the concentrations of NOx of Bingren Road are less than the standard values. It also indicates that all the concentrations at the sencitive spots meet the standard. 3.4.3 Acoustic environment impact 3.4.3.1 Construction phase 14 The noise during construction phase mainly comes from the construction machines and transportation vehicles during excavation, drilling, explosion, concrete pouring and so on. According to the monitoring data of similar projects, the main noise sources are the construction machines and concrete equipments such as bulldozer, grab crane, and road roller. The forecast results show that the impact range brought by construction machine is 35m in the daytime and 335m at night. The noise value outside the preceding range satisfies the standard of Noise Limits for Construction Site (GB12523-90). Because the distances between the sensitive spots and the roads are less than 40 meters, the noise on the sensitive spots won't reach the corresponding standard under the influence of the construction machines. Though the adverse impact is temporary, and won’t exist after the project completion, corresponding measures will still be adopted to mitigate or avoid the impact. 3.4.3.2 Operation Phase The traffic noise impact on the sensitive spots of Binjiang Road and Bingren Road during operation phase will be predicted. The noise prediction model recommended in Specification for Environment Impact Assessment of Highway(on trial) (JTJ 005-96) is adopted. According to the predicted results, the noise in day won’t exceed the standard during the short term of operation phase, but at night the noise on three spots will exceed the standard, and the exceeding values are between 0.82~6.90dB. In the medium term of operation phase, the noise in day won’t exceed the standard, but at night the noise on three spots will exceed the standard, and the exceeding values are between 1.27~6.89dB. In long term, the noise in day won’t exceed the standard, but at night the noise on all of the spots will exceed the standard, and the exceeding values are between 0.71~7.05dB. The noise of the residential building of the municipal power company will exceed standard most largely. The main cause of the noise exceeding is that, at present the noise on some sensitive spots has exceeded standard at night, for example, the exceeding value on the residential building of the municipal power company has reached 6.7dB, and the distances between the sensitive spots and roads are too close. Therefore, necessary measures will be taken to avoid or mitigate the impact. 15 3.4.4 Ecological environment 3.4.4.1 Terrestrial vegetation The main impact sources on terrestrial vegetation are some construction activities such as roadbed excavation, tunnel excavation, explosion, and waste dumping. The preceding activities will directly destroy the terrestrial vegetation of riverbanks, nearby areas of the tunnel exits and both sides of roads. The area of farmland and garden occupied or destroyed by the proposed project will reach 34.79ha. 3.4.4.2 Terrestrial animals The project is located in Panzhihua city, and there are few wild animals within the assessment range. There are some small common animals in the farmland along Bingren Road. The quantity of the animals maybe decreased because of the construction of the project, and the animals may migrate to other habitats. But after the construction, the species will recover, and the species diversity won’t be affected. 3.4.4.3 Landscape During the operation phase, some construction activities such as waste dumping, field occupying will have adverse impact on the landscape of the construction field. After the construction of the project, the operation of the landscape project will beautify city environment, advance city image and improve human living environment. 3.4.5 Soil erosion In summary, the area of disturbed and destroyed original earth and vegetation is 58.5 ha., and the area of destroyed facilities with water conservation function is 48.06 ha. During the whole prediction period, the maximum possible soil erosion is 488,500 t in the condition that no protection measures taken. 3.4.6 Solid waste impact assessment The total quantity of construction wastes is about 775,500 m3. Nine waste disposal fields are planned for this project. Among them, two waste fields are building rubbish fields in Panzhihua for compensate use, and there is no soil erosion impact responsible for the proposed project. The other seven waste fields are located along last section of Bingren Road, and their main environmental impact is that they will increase soil erosion. So water conservation works of the waste fields will be done well to prevent soil erosion. The total amount of rubbish will be about 2281.3 m3 during the construction phase. 16 All the rubbish will be sent to the municipal rubbish landfills for final disposal. During the operation phase, there will be little rubbish generated by drivers, passengers, walkers or residents along the roads. The rubbish will be collected and sent to municipal landfills for final disposal. At the same time, citizen consciousness of environmental protection will be strengthened. 3.4.7 Social environment 3.4.7.1 Impact on traffic Most of the proposed roads are new projects. There exists no direct traffic impact on the existing traffic system during construction phase. But the transportation trucks used for construction will increase, which will deteriorate the traffic status, and be likely to result in traffic jam and road facilities being destroyed. After the project completed, the traffic condition of Panzhihua will be improved greatly. 3.4.7.2 Impact on public health During construction phase, exotic construction troop maybe bring exotic illness. If the builder comes from the region where the infection happens frequently, he may bring in the infection and cause acute infections in vogue, such as ague. 3.4.7.3 Impact on local economy and living quality The project construction can not only bring direct revenue for the city, but also promote the relevant industry such as transportation trade, raw materials processing, etc. In the construction area, with the beginning of the project, the builders swarm into the city, and the number of trucks will increase, which will stimulate the development of Panzhihua’s commodity economy greatly. During operation phase, the riverbank slope protection project will beautify the city’s circumstance and improve living environment. The status of traffic jam will be mitigated, and there will be more spaces for city development. Moreover, the value of the land along the road will rise, so the real estate development will be promoted. All of this will accelerate the sustainable development and prosperity of Panzhihua City. Furthermore, the construction of the last section of Bingren Road will make the external transportation more convenient for the housing estate along the road, such as Fenghuang, Hugang and Baihua, etc. After the road built, contact between Bingcaogang District and Duren District will be strengthened. Some rural people will transform to be urban residents, for the development of Renhe. Consequently, the 17 project can advance citizen’s living quality. 18 3.4.8 Environmental impact analysis of resettlement 3.4.8.1 Impact on immigrant’s living condition The immigrants’ original living condition is different. The structures of the urban demolition houses are brick- concrete, while some rural demolition house are brick and wood. Many demolition houses are aged, small, congested and without modern facilities such as toilet, sewerage pipe etc. Rural houses will be resettled in the vicinity of the original houses, and turban residence will purchase second-hand or new economic houses. In resettlement district, basic facilities and environmental condition will be better. So immigrant’s living condition will be improved evidently. 3.4.8.2 Impact on immigrant’s economic income and living quality The affected area by land acquisition involves 3 rural groups, 212 rural households, 811 rural persons, 229 urban households and 300 urban persons. The area of land acquisition is 34.79 ha, including cultivated land, gardening and forest. The decrease of local cultivated land will have adverse impact on farmers’ economic income. Production rehabilitation program will be adopted. The group whose farmland is less than 0.4 Mu per capita, will be arranged as urban residence. The affected farmers may engage in business or find job in other districts, and their income and living quality will be better. However, because of their poor cultural level and skill, the rural residents may not be adapted to the new working environment and it is possible to lose job again. By some measures such as training and purchasing insurance, the adverse impact or risk will be minimized. 3.4.8.3 Impact on enterprises’ production The affected productive enterprise will be resettled in the Nanshan industrial park in Renhe District. The park lies in the center of Renhe district and near the west section of Duren road, 6km away from city downtown. According to the city plan, the park is a centralized area for productive enterprises. The enterprises moved in will acquire better development space and conditions. Centralized the productive enterprises is beneficial to develop circulation economy mode. Consequently, it is favorable for reducing the quantity and costs of the waste processing for individual enterprise. It is not only good for the development of enterprise itself, but also for the environmental pollution control over the whole city. 19 All the un-productive enterprise will be resettled nearby. In the long run, the normal work of these institutions will not be affected by the project. In early days of resettlement, enterprise’s normal production will be affected due to their address changing, which may make the customers feel inconvenient. As a whole, as long as the resettlement work is carried out well, the project construction will not cause the much adverse impacts on the enterprises. 3.4.8.4 Impact analysis on environment brought by resettlement After the project construction, the main environmental impact sources in resettlement areas are living sewage and rubbish. Corresponding infrastructures and servicing facilities including sewage disposal system will be established in new urban resettlement areas. The immigrants will enjoy the community management and all rights of city community inhabitant. The living sewage and rubbish produced by the residents will go into the corresponding treatment systems in Panzhihua City, which won’t pollute the environment any more. The living sewage of the rural immigrants may be used as feedstuff or fertilizer, and the rubbish will be collected and treated in corresponding treatment systems in Panzhihua City. Therefore, as long as the mitigation measures are done well, the environmental impact brought by resettlement is little. But water conservation will be done well during building construction. 3.4.9 Environmental risk assessment During the operation period, the accidental risks will mainly come from the dangerous goods transporting such as inflammable, explosive and poisonous goods, etc. It is investigated that the main dangerous cargo on the local road includes fuel, liquid gas, and industrial chemicals and so on. The main risks are the explosion and leak caused by collision and pouring accident, which can threaten the water and ambient air environment. Some proposed roads will be built along the Jinshajiang River. If such accidents occur, the leaked dangerous chemicals may be discharged to the water area, and the safety of the water user would be threatened. Effective measures will be taken to prevent the preceding accidents and risks. 20 4 Environmental Management 4.1 Organizations and their responsibilities of environmental management For effective environmental management during both the construction and operation phase, either temporary or long-term, organizations will be established and carry out their respective responsibilities. The organizations responsible for environmental management during the construction phase may cease to function after the construction completion when organizations for environmental management for the operation phase begin to work. The environmental management organizations for different phases can exist together for a period of time according to the specific circumstance. 4.1.1 Environmental management organizations 4.1.1.1 Environmental management organizations in construction phase In order to make the environment management effective and efficient, an environment management department which is independent and has no direct connection with the project will be established.
