Introduction 1.1 The origin of the project A number of regions in Anhui, Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi provinces expect to use the World Bank loans to promote the beef cattle production, processing, marketing, and supportive service system in the regions. The Beef Cattle Development Project had been listed as one of the candidate projects in 1997-1999 fiscal year by relating agencies at both the Central and the Provincial levels. The World Bank experts and missions have inspected the project areas several times during 1996-1997, and expect to evaluate the project in the early 1998. 1.2 Basis for the ELA report This report is based on: (1) project documents, feasibility studies; (2) environmental protection laws and regulations of China; (3) technical guidelines for EIA, issued by the NEPA of China(HJIT2.1-2.3-93), and by the World Bank(OD4.0 1); (4) certificate of entrustment for doing the EIA. 1.3 Scope of the assessment What to be assessed are the impacts on the physical environment, ecosystem, and social economic situations of the 72 counties in 16 prefectures in the 4 provinces of Anhui, Hebei, Henan. and Shanxi. Surface water, ground water, ambient air, and noise relating to the feedlots, markets and slaughterhouses are among those assessed. 1.4 Keypoints of the assessment The EIA emphasizes the cattle production subproject and the beef processing subproject. For the cattle production, control and recycling of animal wastes are emphasized; for the beef processing, its waste water is highlighted. The project areas in Anhui and Henan provinces are located in the Huaihe River, which is under control but is still heavily polluted. So is the Haihe River, which runs through the Hebei project areas. 1.5 Methodology for the assessment (1) The subprojects of cattle production(raising), beef processing and feedrnills, marketing are of different types which belongs to husbandry, agroindustry, or commerce respectively. The assessments of these different subprojects fall * I into different work grades classified by the NEPA of China or the World Bank. The subprojects will be assessed respectively according to its work grade. (2) Both the positive and the negative impacts of the project are assessed. (3) Point, as well as non-point source pollution, is considered. 1  2. Summarv of the Project 2.1 Project scope The general objective is to promote cattle production, marketing, beef processing and support service systems in the project area (72 counties). The specific goals are: (1) increasing 43 1,100 heads of cattle on hand; (2) 166 feedlots to be built; (3) 4 slaughterhouses to be extended or built. (4) 2 feedmills to be built or extended; (5) 116 cattle markets to be improved or extended; (6) 403 service stations to be strengthened or built. The project scope can be summarized in Table 2-1.
