It is estimated that the total automobile number of the city will be over 100,000 in 2005. The automobile number increases very fast, especially a large number of transit automobiles are driving through on the limited urban roads. But urban road network construction relatively lags behind, thus leading an imbalance between the transportation needs and available roads. The existing urban road network is hardly to bear such huge traffic pressure, so it is necessary to open other passages for transit automobiles Since urban trunk roads have an overload operation, there are traffic jams in the urban centers all the time. It has become an important factor to restrict further economic development. Construction of Nanjiang Binlu, the 3RR/II and Kuiqi Bridge (hereinafter referred to as the two roads and one bridge in this report) would relieve the traffic pressure at the central urban area, which is a need for city's economic development and fast transport development. The proposed roads and bridge are located in Nantai island, a peri-urban area of Fuzhou across Minjiang river from the downtown and urban Fuzhou. Limited by the lack of infrastructure and other factors, the island development is lag behind the urban area. The road construction will provide better access to the urban centre, improve the infrastructure conditions on the island, and thus help the local development, make the island more attractive to outside investments, improvement the standard of living by providing better transportationo infrastructure, and helpl transfer the peri-urban, rural and agricultural communities to an urban and industrial communities. Fuzhou Nanjiang Binlu Project is located at the inner side of the flood dyke on the south bank of Beigang (north branch) of the Minjiang River, Fuzhou, on the Nantai island. It is a part of the north ring road of the proposed island ring road on Nantai Island. It starts from Cangqianlu of the south interchange of the Minjiang Bridge, Sanxianzhou, passes through Jiefang Bridge, the second Minjiang Bridge, the third Minjiang Bridge and the proposed Qianheng Bridge. Nanjiang Binlu is the north ring road of Nantai Island road, a trunk road to connect the old Cangshan urban area with new Chengmen area and an important integral part of Nantai Island ring road. Its function is to form a bank road combining entertainment, landscape and transport. The second phase of the third ring road (3RR/Il) is positioned at the south part of the island. It starts from Wanbian in the west and ends at the south bridgehead of the proposed Minjiang Kuiqi Bridge. The 3RR/II passes through Nantai Island from the southwest to the northeast, which is an expressway to connect the urban area with the University City, Jinshan (Jianxin) and Gaishan area. The 3RR/II is positioned at the south ring part of the Third Ring Road, which would play a key role in the development and construction of Nantai Island. Kuiqi Bridge is a key engineering for the east section of the proposed Third Ring Road to cross The Minjiang River, construction of a new bridge across the Minjiang River will greatly shorten the distance from north to south, that will become convenient and fast. Meanwhile, the project will connect 1T-0I environmentprotect 4-*frK 8  Environmental Impact Assessment Fuznou Naitai Island Peri-Urban Development Project with the airport highway, which shall not only shorten the distance between the central urban area and Changle Intemational Airport and area along the airport expressway, but also add exit to Fuzhou in its east part. The construction of this project will not only perfect the third ring expressway, but also greatly promote the road network construction along the third ring line and perfect Fuzhou's urban road network structure. The construction of Nanjiang Binlu, the 3RR/II and Kuiqi Bridge will be conducive to land development and construction of the new area, and to the development of the traffic and the city. It will play an important role in promoting the development and construction of Cangshan District and Nantai Island, improving the investment environment, promoting the city's economic development and exertion of a provincial central city. Therefore, the construction of the two roads and one bridge conforms to the need to implement the strategy of "expansion in the east, extension in the south and exploitation in the west". The construction of the new area will not only exploit the city scale, but also promote the land development, improve the land utilization rate along the line, promote the redevelopment of the old urban area. It will play an important role in relieving urban land tenure and transport pressure, and scattering dense population. After the construction of the two roads and one bridge is completed, the cit size will be expanded, and Fuzhou will step into a new economnic development phase. 1.2 Environmental Assessment Purpose The purpose of the EA is to guarantee the rationality and correctness of the decision-making of the project on environment, and to ensure that any environmental results shall be confirmed before the construction of the project, so as to take environmental impact into consideration in project selection. Environment assessment puts forward the mitigation measures for adverse environmental impact so as to minimize the impact on environment and avoid taking corrective measures for various possible damages occurred after completion of project construction. 13 Basis for EA The assessment has been based on the applicable laws, regulations, standards, policies, regional plans as well as other project preparation documents, and World Bank safeguard policies. More specifically, the basis of EA includes: * ((Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China)) (December, 1989); * ((Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Treatment of Noise Pollution)) (October, 1996); * ((Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Treatment of Atmosphere Pollution)) (Revised in April, 2000); * ((Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Treatment of Water Pollution)) (Revised in May, 1996); * ((Law of the People's Republic of China on Soil and Water Conservation)) (June 29, 1991) * ((Regulations of the People's Republic of China for Implementation of the Soil and Water Conservation Law)) (August 1, 1993); * ((Law of the People's Republic of China on Land Management)) (January 1, 1999); * ((Regulations of the People's Republic of China for Implementation of the Land Management Law)) (On December 27, 1998); r-01M environmentprotect 4*fiF fff 9  Environmental Impact Assessment Fuznou Naitai Island Peri-Urban Development Project *(Interim Regulations of Motorcycle Discard)) , effective as of October 1, 2002; * ((Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Treatment of Environmental Pollution of the Solid Waste)) (October, 1995); * "Circular on Publication of ((List of Environmental Protection and Management of the Construction Project)) (the first batch), ( [2001] No.17 document issued by the State Bureau of Environmental Protection)"; * ((Cultural property Protection Law of the People's Republic of China)) (effective as of October 28, 2002) * ((Environmental Protection Regulation of Fujian Province)) , 2002; * ((Fuzhou's General Planning )) (1995-2010); * ((Environment Protection Regulation of Fuzhou)) , 2002; * ((Fuzhou's City Environment Planning )) (September, 2001); * ((Nantai Island's Environment Planning of Fuzhou)) (September, 2000); * City Horticulture and Forestation Management of Fuzhou (2001); * ((Measuring Method of Environmental noise at Urban Area (GB/T14623-93))) * The standard of the environmental protection sector - ((Technical Guidance for Environmental Impact Assessment (HJ/T2.1-2.3-93))) of the People's Republic of China; * The standard of the environmental protection sector - (( Technical Guidance (Noise Environment) (HJ/T2.4 - 1995) for Environmental Impact Assessment)) of the People's Republic of China; * (( Technical Guidance (non-pollution ecological impact) for Environmental Impact (HJ/T19-1997))) ; * (( Assessment Standard of Environmental Impact of the Highway Construction Project (JTJO05-96))) . * ((Assessment Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact)) (effective on September 1, 2003); * NO.253 document ((Environmental Protection Management Regulations of the Construction Project)) promulgated by the State Council in 1998; * (3) ((Notice on Strengthening the Environmental Impact Assessment Management of the Project Loaned by the Intemational Financial Intuitions)), Huanjian (1993) No.324; * The Business Manual of the World Bank - Environment Assessment (OP4.01); * The Business Manual of the World Bank - Natural Ecological Environmental Protection (OP4.04); * The Business Manual of the World Bank - Cultural Relic Protection of the Project Financed by The World Bank (OP4.1 1); * ((Proposal of the Fuzhou Nanjiang Binlu Project (including the pre-feasibility study report))) * ((Proposal of the 3RR/II of Fuzhou (including the pre-feasibility study report))); * ((Proposal of the Fuzhou Kuiqi Bridge Project (including the pre-feasibility study report))) * "Pre-assessment Site Investigation of the Fuzhou City Traffic Project Loaned by the World Bank" (consultation comments given by the specialist group); * Fuzhou Urban and Rural Planning Bureau, Rongguizong [2002] No.237 ((Reply on Coordination and Settlement of the Issues of the Three Projects Loaned by the World Bank)); * Outline of the environmental impact assessment. In accordance with the requirements of the State Bureau of Environmental Protection and the World Bank, an assessment outline of the 3RR/II, Nanjiang Binlu and Kuiqi Bridge was drawn up before environmental impact assessment. The outline was approved by the State Bureau of Environmental Protection after being expounded by the specialists organized by the State Bureau and as well as reviewed and confirmed by the specialists of the World Bank.

The Phase-II of the Third Ring Road crosses Nantai Island from southwest to northeast. Kuiqi Bridge is the key project of the proposed east section of the Third Ring Road crossing Minjiang River. The strike and location of the two roads and one bridge are shown in Fig. 2.1-1. Nanjiang Binlu Project is situated inside the flood bulkhead line on the south bank of Beigang of the Minjiang River and is the North Ring of the proposed Nantai Island Ring Road. It starts from Cangqianlu of the south interchange of Sanxianzhou Minjiang Bridge, crosses Jiefang Bridge, No.2 Minjiang Bridge, NO.3 Minjiang Bridge, proposed Qianheng Bridge, ends at Qiannanlu. Nanjiang Binlu is the North Ring Road of Nantai Island Road, and is a road along the river with integrated leisure, sightseeing and traffic. Thus its construction will not only perfect the road network of Nantai Island, but also enhance the density of the sub-trunk road network of Fuzhou urban area as well as meet the needs of the residents in circumferential areas. The 3RR/II crosses Nantai Island from southwest to northeast, is the turbo channel connecting University Town, Jinshan (Jianxin), Gaishan zones in urban area. The 3RR/II starts from the north end of the proposed Wanbian Bridge, runs along south side of Yixu Airport, crosses Fuxialu, Fuqian Expressway, and ends at the south end of the proposed Minjiang Kuiqi Bridge. Construction of the 3RR/II will be helpful to development and construction of land in new areas and to promption of transportation guiding city development, as well as will have enormous significance in promoting development and construction in Cangshan area and even the whole Nantai Island, improving investment environment, promote development of urban economy, and exerting the role of Fuzhou as the provincial capital city. Therefore, the construction of the 3RR/II will meet the need for implementation of the strategy "expansion in the east, extension in the south and exploitation in the west". For construction of Kuiqi Bridge, a new bridge crossing the Minjiang River downstream has completed, which reduces greatly the distance of south to north and makes the traffic more. shortcut and speedy. At the same time, combined with the airport highway, the project not only reduces the distance from Changle Airport to the area along the expressway to the city center, but also gives an additional outlet to eastem part of Fuzhou city. According to traffic plan to perfect the city center road network, Kuiqi Bridge is the key project of the proposed east section of the Third Ring Road crossing Minjiang River. Construction of the project will not only perfect the Third Ring Road, but also effectively promote the construction of the road network along the Third Ring Road and perfect the road network structure of Fuzhou city. Based on the project, Gushan zone may reconstruct its road network and streamline the internal roads. At the same time, the project radiates to the whole Nantai Island and connects the road network of Nantai Island and those of Gutai, Gushan and Mawei as a whole. Therefore the proposed project is an urgent need for perfecting the road network of the urban area.
