The Project will cause impacts on the environment of the dam site and inundated area to a certain extent. The environment impact assessment of the project is to be carried out in order to understand and master the environment situation before construction and to forecast the environment impacts by the construction of the project through project pollution analysis and to put forward feasible measures for pollution prevention and treatment and impact lessening and to give out basis for project decision and to supervise environment protection design and environment management of the project and to achieve economic, social and environment benefits at the same time. More specifically, the purposes of the EIA are: (1). To improve the decision-making process by introducing environmental criteria and assessment to design engineers and decision makers and to ensure the Project is environmentally sound and sustainable; (2). To ensure adverse environmental impacts be identified and evaluated in the earlier stage of the Project development so as to develop appropriate measures to avoid, mitigate, reduce or otherwise minimize the adverse impacts to acceptable levels; (3). To develop measures of compensation for the impacts which could not be avoided or mitigated; and; (4). To provide a basis for Project executing agency and relevant government agencies to develop and implement plans for environmental management and monitoring. 1.2 EIA Basis 1.2.1 World Bank Requirements The World Bank requirements include primarily the Bank's ten safeguard policies, including Operational Policies (OP), Best Procedure (BP), Good Practice (GP) and Operational Directives (OD). These safeguard policies are: Environmental Assessment (OP/BP/GP4.01); Forestry (OP/GP4.36); Natural Habitats (OP/BP4.04); Safety of Dams (OP/BP4.37); Pest Management (OP4.09); Involuntary Resettlement (OP4.12); Indigenous People (OD4.20); Cultural Property (OP4. 11); Projects in Disputed Areas (OP/BP/GP7.60); and I  Projects on International Waterways (OP/BP/GP7.50). Among these safeguards policies, Environmental Assessment (OP4.01) is the primary requirements and thus will be fully applied in this report and other EA documentation. In addition, other safeguard policies will first be screened during the EA and fully applied if triggered by the screening. Safety of Dams (OP/BP4.37), Natural Habitats (OP/BP4.04), Pest Management (OP4.09) and Forestry (OP/GP4.36) will be applied in this Report too. Involuntary Resettlement and Cultural Property will be applied in by two separate teams, but the major findings and subsequent assessment will be included in the EA process and the EA reports. Since there are no project components that involve international waterways, indigenous people (OD4.20) or disputed areas as defined under OP7.60, policies related to these subjects will not be applied in the EA. 1.2.2 National laws and regulations 1).
