(2) Two-Stage Preliminary Design for the New Project of Ailing (Jiangxi and Fujian Border)-Ruijin Section of Xiamen-Chengdu National Expressway(K0+050~K30+818.5 with total length of 31 km), Jiangxi Provincial Transportation Design Institute, July 2005. - 3 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway 2 Environmental impact assessment conclusions 2.1 Ecological environment (1) The current ecological environment in the assessment scope of the proposed highway is good. The highway will take up a permanent land size of about 3188.57 mu. The land occupation type includes forestland, paddy field, non-irrigated field, wasteland, etc. The construction of the highway will cause certain agricultural economic losses, but will not produce remarkable influence on the distribution pattern of the land and vegetation. (2) Subgrade excavation and earth/stone filling of the proposed highway construction will change the landform and topography in some areas to a certain extent. But corresponding engineering protection measures taken during the design, construction and operation stages of the highway can minimize such adverse effects on vegetation, land utilization and farmland change. (3) Within the assessment scope of the proposed highway there is no natural reserve, no rare and endangered animals and plants distributed there. The engineering construction's impact on vegetation is mainly the cutting, rooting, burying and trampling of trees, fruit trees, flowers and plants, bush and farmland crops in the acquired lands during construction stage. Some small animals living there will be threatened to some degree during the whole construction stage of the highway. The above impact can be compensated for to a certain degree through the greening and planting measures. (4) Within the assessment scope for this highway, the animal species are mostly domestic animals, poultry and some common little wild animals that are few in population and are not very demanding for living environment and are adaptable to human activity. This road construction has not caused and changed their habitat environment greatly, will not interfere their normal life, which can still continue surviving in the areas along the route. 2.2 Water environment (1) The assessment results indicate that: in the three customary monitoring cross-sections of Mianjiang river, the pH value, ammonia nitrogen and biochemical oxygen demand meet class III criteria of Surface Water Environmental Quality StandardGB3838-2002while the petroleum and chemical oxygen demand exceed class III criteria of Surface Water Environmental Quality StandardGB3838-2002, of which the COD excess is relatively large. The proposed Mianjiang river super-large bridge site is located about 5km upstream the monitoring cross-section of Ruijin Airport with relatively similar water quality. (2) During the construction stage, because earth borrowing and filling may cause silt of - 4 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway certain volume to enter into water bodies along the route, which will produce certain influence to the water quality of some rivers and canals. In building subgrade at the two banks of river-crossing bridges, measures shall be taken to reduce and avoid the impact on water body, which can be resumed after construction is finished. (3) The bridge substructure construction is separated from road section construction campsite, and the sanitary sewage emission of each campsite is only 3.2- 6.4 tons, discharged in a dispersed and temporary manner. Through setting up septic tank and effective management, the influence of sanitary sewage during construction stage can be acceptable. So the bridge substructure construction for the proposed highway will only have a slight negative effect on water environment. In addition during construction stage the construction waste oil will be collected, deposited and transported to designated places for treatment, thus will not exert an unfavorable influence on the surrounding environment either. The boring dregs of bridge construction are required to be transported out of river district and be piled up, and corresponding environmental protection measures shall be taken to prevent water body pollution. (4) The water pollution sources during operation stage are mainly sewage from tollgates, management stations, parking lots, and maintenance divisions. The sewage must be treated to meet national class 1 discharge standard before discharging. Because the above-mentioned facilities only produce small amount of emission, the total pollutant emission is not big, and the treated sewage will be discharged up to standard into the side ditches of drainage system of the highway; after flowing through brooks at a long distance, it flows into the nearby river with very low concentration. So, a small amount of sewage water discharged up to standard from the above-mentioned service facilities has a little effect on local water environment. (5) During the operation stage, pavement runoff is not allowed to enter into rivers and canals directly. Automobile pollutants' influence on water quality is very small, and will not influence the agricultural irrigation water either. The flow and velocity of Mianjiang River which the proposed highway overcrosses are relatively stable with greater dilution ability. Within the assessment scope of downstream bridge site, there is no centralized type drinking water intake. So, it can be concluded that bridge floor runoff's impact on water quality is very small. (6) This project will not cause great adverse effect on farmland irrigation along the route. Water conservancy projects such as river and channel that are intruded will be reconstructed according to their existing capability. (7) In the next stage design it is suggested to optimize bridge and culvert design. Farmland irrigation system and water supply/drainage facilities that are intruded and separated by subgrade shall be restored. 2.3 Acoustic environment (1) Within the assessment scope there is no large-scale industrial and mining enterprises, the - 5 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway traffic noise of existing railways, national roads, provincial roads, county roads are the main sources of noise pollution, followed by the living and production noise of residents in most monitoring points, the applicable noise criteria are not exceeded. The major noise source is traffic noise on existing roads; the acoustic quality along the route is basically good. (2) Construction noise will have a certain impact on the acoustic environmental quality along the route, this kind of noise impact mainly appears in a range 130m from construction site in daytime and 480m from construction site in nighttime. (3) In 100m beyond construction site and its construction/transportation roads (detour roads) the acoustic impact is relatively small, but will still exert a relatively great influence on people within 50m, especially construction noise at night will influence their rest and sleep. (4) It is required to carry out environmental monitoring on sensitive locations, to supervise and promote good-mannered construction, to regulate construction, and to guarantee residents' normal life and study. (5) Assessing by class 1 standard limit in GB3096-93, the farthest standard-satisfying distances in daytime along the two sides of the highway in short-term stage, mid-term stage and long-term stage are 54m, 130m and 185m respectively from road center line; the farthest standard-satisfying distances in nighttime along the two sides of the highway in short-term stage, mid-term stage and long-term stage are 119m, 155m and 332m respectively from road center line. Assessing by class 2 standard limit in GB3096-93, the farthest standard-satisfying distances in daytime along the two sides of the highway in short-term stage, mid-term stage and long-term stage are 32m, 69m and 101m respectively from road center line; the farthest standard-satisfying distances in nighttime along the two sides of the highway in short-term stage, mid-term stage and long-term stage are 73m, 96m and 191m respectively from road center line. Assessing by class 4 standard limit in GB3096-93, the farthest standard-satisfying distances in daytime along the two sides of the highway in short-term stage, mid-term stage and long-term stage are 20m, 20m and 27m respectively from road center line; the farthest standard-satisfying distances in nighttime along the two sides of the highway in short-term stage, mid-term stage and long-term stage are 43m, 57m and 142m respectively from road center line. It is suggested that planning department not to approve building schools and hospitals that have high acoustic quality demand within 332m from both sides of the highway, and building civilian houses within 142m. (6) Prediction and calculation conducted for the 22 sensitive locations of the recommended scheme show that all sensitive locations are excessive in standard. (7) Prediction and calculation conducted for the 12 sensitive locations of the alternative scheme I for the comparison section show that all sensitive locations are excessive in standard. - 6 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway (8) For the standard-exceeding sensitive locations during operation stage, it is recommended to build sound barrier and to install sound-proofing windows with an investment of 13.78 million yuan. (9) The monitoring points are Dongtouling, Pinghu, Hulipai, Songshanxia, Jiantounao, village 1, Sangongwo, Xinaoxia, Qiganxia, Xiashabei, (Xiashebei, Shangshebei, Shaba), and village 2, a total of 12 points. 2.4 Ambient air (1) The areas the highway runs by are mostly rural areas with the outdoor ambient air kept in natural condition. There is no large-scale pollution source in the assessment scope along the route, and the existing pollutants are automobile tail gas, pollutants produced by people's life and production, etc. But the emission is relatively small. (2) The NO2 and TSP average daily concentrations along the highway all comply with class II air quality standard of GB3095-1996, the monitored results indicate that the environmental air quality is good along the route. (3) The main environmental problem is TSP and bituminous smoke pollution during highway construction stage. Stabilized soil mixing station shall be far away from sensitive locations, attention shall be given to workers' labor protection. Construction roads and material transportation roads shall be sprinkled with water and road surface shall be cleaned, roadbuilding material transporting vehicles shall be covered with geotextile. Stock grounds shall be far away from residential areas and shall be covered. In filling subgrade water shall be sprinkled in time; the bituminous concrete mixing station should be located 100m away from leeward wind direction of sensitive locations. (4) The distance in which the NO2 peak hour concentrations of the proposed highway during the short, mid and long-term operation stages can meet class 2 limits for ambient air quality standard is 20m from road center line; the distance in which the NO2 daily average concentrations during the short-term and mid-term stages can meet class 2 limits for ambient air quality standard is 20m from road center line; the distance in which the NO2 daily average concentrations during the long-term stages can meet class 2 limits for ambient air quality standard is 30m from road center line. 2.5 Social environment (1) Construction of the proposed highway will exert a positive influence in promoting social - 7 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway and economic development, in promoting rational adjustment of industrial sectors in areas along the route, in fostering the social and economic development and tourist resource development in areas along the route and in the whole Jiangxi Province, in improving the local investment environment, and in promoting structural adjustment of three major industries. (2) Construction of the proposed highway will unavoidably take up some lands and cultivated lands, but the overall influence is not big in general. Land allocation and use value transformation can mitigate land occupation's impact on agricultural economy. (3) It is required to do good removal and resettlement work, to conscientiously enforce local government's removal and resettlement policy. Because reasonable number of overpasses and passageways will be set up, impact on life convenience of residents along the route is not big. (4) Operation of the proposed highway will alleviate the traffic pressure imposing on original existing roads, will improve traffic environment, and will reduce traffic accidents. (5) The construction unit will strengthen publicity on historical relic protection, protective measures shall be made available to underground historical relic being found during construction, which shall be traced and monitored. 2.6 Pollution risk of transportation (1) Though accident probability of hazardous cargo transportation is extremely small, but once the accident takes place, the consequence will be very serious. The construction department will formulate emergency plan, shall enhance training and management and shall strengthen emergency handling ability so as to reduce pollution risk to a minimum. (2) Analyses conclude that this project has a relatively strong emergency ability to handle traffic accident. 2.7 Alternative schemes After route comparison in the Preliminary Designstage, the recommended scheme is the best scheme in environmental protection. In order to do good environmental protection work for this project conscientiously, it is advised that the designing unit pay attention to solving the following problems at next stage: - 8 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway In high-fill and deep-cut sections, it is required to further study the design plan for slope protection. At the design of next stage, attention should be paid to the environmental protection and water and soil conservation of the highway itself and the earth borrow and waste banks. It is required to conscientiously implement simultaneous design between the environmental protection project and main project works. 2.8 Profit/loss analysis of environmental economy National economic evaluation and financial evaluation of this project indicate that it has certain anti-risk ability. The environmental protection investment needed by the proposed highway is about 20.852 million yuan, accounting for 2.02% in the total investment for the project. 2.9 Environmental protection, management and monitoring plans (1) The environmental protection management during construction and operation stage for this project are executed by Jiangxi Provincial Communication Department planning office, Jiangxi Provincial Communication Department World Bank loan project office, and Jiangxi Provincial Expressway Administration. (2) The monitoring cost for this project during construction stage is 225,000 yuan, and the monitoring cost during operation stage is 180,000 yuan. (3) The construction unit has already established a removal and resettlement office and a coordinating group for design, resettlement and environmental protection, responsible for the environmental management and removal/resettlement of this project. (4) Detailed environmental management plan (EMP) has already been formulated so as to finalize the environmental mitigation measures and implementation of environmental monitoring plan. 2.10 Public participation (1) Construction of the proposed highway is a rare good chance to the areas along the route, especially to the development of county towns where the route passes. Local government and - 9 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway residents along the route spare no effort to support this highway to pass in front of their "own doors". (2) Because people along the project, especially those who may be subject to land occupation, removal and resettlement do not still know compensation policies about land occupation, removal and resettlement in road construction, it is suggested that during the land occupation, removal and resettlement for this project, such policies and compensation standard shall be publicized to concerned people along the route through local government so as to make this project familiar to and welcomed by the people. (3) For possible environmental problems brought out by this project, the environmental assessment unit and design unit have already put forward corresponding environmental protection measures such as sound-proofing window, sound barrier, and environmental management in construction stage, etc. (4) At next stage various kinds of media such as broadcast, TV, newspaper, etc., will be utilized to release information to the public, to offer unobstructed access to environmental file inquiry and environmental complaint telephone. (5) It is required to cooperate with environmental protection department to solve and deal with public appeal and complaint in time. (6) According to various environmental protection measures put forward in the assessment report, Jiangxi Provincial Expressway Administration will carry out follow-up investigations in all period during the design, construction and operation stage. 2.11 Comprehensive assessment conclusion In sum, the development, construction and operation of this project will produce certain adverse impacts on the ecological environment, resident's life and production activity along the route, but so long as the mitigation measures proposed by this report are conscientiously implemented, such adverse impacts produced can be effectively controlled and can be reduced to a minimum acceptable to the environment. The route alignment is basically rational; the social and economic benefits of the project are remarkable. This assessment concludes that in terms of environmental protection, construction of this proposed highway is feasible. - 10 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway 3 Mitigation measures for Environmental impacts 3.1 Mitigation measures for ecological environmental impact 3.1.1 Design stage (1) To further optimize and adjust the alignment, to reduce occupation of cultivated lands, to balance cut/fill volumes and to reduce waste volume and the number of earth borrow pits and waste banks. (2) Site selection for construction campsite shall avoid farmland or shall occupy as little farmland as possible. To rationally arrange construction plan, to reduce the time for temporary land occupation. (3) When the highway passes through high mountains and natural forestlands, it shall pass mainly in the form of tunnel and bridge so as to reduce the mileage of cut/fill works, thus reducing destruction on vegetation and plant as much as possible. The present design scheme basically adopts tunnels and bridges to pass the natural forestlands. (4) To design subgrade water drainage and protection works, such as cutoff trench, side ditch, facing wall, slope protection, retaining wall, crib protection etc., which can not only stabilize the subgrade but also can prevent and control soil erosion. (5) The original appearance of rivers and valleys should be maintained as much as possible so as to reduce river course realignment and to reduce the clearance of grass and trees in the rivers and valleys. (6) The guardrail in bridges should choose material with high strength. (7) Selection of earth borrow pits and waste banks: earth borrow pits and waste banks are forbidden to locate in basic farmland protection zone, instead they should be preferably located in secondary vegetation land with grass and wastelands, thus not directly influencing the primary vegetation. In addition, in rainy season the intensity of rainstorm is relatively large and duration is relatively long, so construction stage should choose dry season, thus helpful to construction. Before rainy season comes, good preparations must be taken to prevent soil erosion, concretely by piling waste earth neatly, excavating drainage ditches and building retaining walls so as to reduce soil erosion's destruction to natural vegetation and to maintain local rivers in their normal conditions too. Waste earth banks shall not be located in river course and along rivers so as to avoid water pollution and to avoid mud-rock flow destroying downstream river. (8) For earth borrow pits and waste banks, environmental protection design shall be carried out, and the following principles shall be followed to formulate tunnel waste dreg utilization plan. The tunnel waste dreg is used as filling materials for subgrade outside tunnel and for - 11 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway bridge embankment, while the transport distance is not too far; The tunnel waste dreg is used to fill hillside wasteland to turn into construction site so that they are unlikely to be destroyed by flood when mountain torrent comes and endanger downstream farmlands; When the tunnel portal area is good farmland and there is wasteland in distance, they shall be delivered to the waste land in long-distance; When near the tunnel site there is cultivated land and waste slags must take up farmland, the topsoil should be first shoveled away, after the project is finished, the original topsoil shall be covered on waste banks so as to restore cultivation. (9) To rationally arrange construction season and time: to rationally arrange construction in dry season so as to reduce destruction on river and water quality; blasting and construction are forbidden at night in order to reduce impact on local wild animals. (10) Propagation (wildlife and environmental protection propagation, and manufacturing propagation boards) should be conducted and supervisory organization should be set up before construction. (11) The afforestation design of the highway shall be in pace with the engineering design of the main project, priority shall be given to adopting local arbor, shrub, and grass in the design in order to restore and compensate for the vegetation. 3.1.2 Construction stage (1) Education for environmental protection shall be strengthened to construction workers so that they will observe national and regional laws and relevant regulations so as to protect natural resources, not to injure wild animals, not to cut down trees arbitrarily, and to consciously protect various kinds of animals, plants and natural landscapes in natural forestlands along the route. (2) The tunnel (entrance and exit) will be the place needing special monitoring during construction. Because in road construction the tunnel is always a controlled project with long construction time, large volume of waste earthwork disposal, thus during tunnel construction, it is required to strictly control the piling of materials and the collecting/disposing of waste earthwork. (3) Construction of pier in bridge construction will inevitably exert an influence on the vegetation, so it is required to strictly control the size of vegetation occupation and impact on peripheral vegetation. Relevant national laws and regulations shall be strictly followed to go through the formalities in acquiring forestland and vegetation, casual tree cutting and surface vegetation clearing are forbidden. (4) Construction time in the natural forestlands shall be shortened as much as possible, and construction at night is forbidden. (5) Life garbage and sewage produced from construction campsites shall be disposed of collectively or be made into fertilizers. (6) For temporary land occupation by detour roads and working sheds, their destruction on - 12 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway vegetation shall be reduced to a minimum. If detour roads pass through wooded section with big trees, the detour roads shall pass around it, the trees around working sheds should be kept to a maximum extent. The establishment of detour road shall not destroy natural landscape, shall not move excessive earthwork, and shall not cause collapse. (7) Attention shall be paid to the protection of river course during construction, construction shall be mainly in dry season, before rainy season comes it is required to dredge the river course and to excavate drainage canals in construction site, and to guarantee unobstructed river flow and clean water quality in the river. As far as drinking water is concerned, it is required to solve the water problem for residents before the project construction begins, and to consider the influence on construction stage and in the future. (8) Various kinds of construction behaviors such as earth borrowing and waste disposal shall be carried out strictly according to the designing requirement, ecological restoration shall be timely undertaken in earth borrow pits and waste banks. When excavating the acquired cultivated land, the topsoil30cmshould be kept in order for use in reclaiming and compensating for cultivated land. (9) Construction vehicles shall run on temporary roads, shall not run into farmlands and forestlands. (10) To reduce the quantity and size of construction site: Construction shall be carried out in designed construction site, earth borrow pits and waste banks shall not be enlarged at will so as to reduce excavation surface. If construction can't be conducted at once, don't enter the construction site too early. (11) Each protection measure shall be implemented along with the main project in order to prevent pavement runoff in rainy season from directly eroding slope and leading to soil erosion. (12) Management of solid waste during construction stage Solid wastes shall not be thrown or spilled over along the route during transportation. Greasy dirt of construction machinery shall be treated collectively, solid wastes with greasy dirt can't be thrown casually on ground, rather they shall be treated collectively. Construction campsite shall set up septic tank and dustbin, the contractor shall remove the garbage and clear up the septic tank on time. The driving mud from bridge construction shall be transported outside river district and be piled in favorable terrain place. The waste mud piling shall be protected mainly by blocking and arresting; after the place is chosen, mud arresting dam shall be first built in downstream place of waste mud, drainage ditches shall be built in surrounding place according to water catchment, which connect with the original drainage system, then waste mud can be piled up. After waste mud piling, vegetation shall be restored as much as possible. The planning and the operational procedure of construction shall be followed to strictly control and to reduce the remaining supplies. In case of remaining materials, they shall be preserved well in an orderly manner, and be kept properly as for use in repairing rural roads or buildings in - 13 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway surrounding area. Facilities, equipment and places that collect, store, transport and handle the solid wastes should be strengthened in management and maintenance so as to guarantee their normal running and use. 3.1.3 Operation stage (1) According to road afforestation design requirement, it is suggested to continue tree planting and grassing in slopes, median separators, interchanges and parking areas of the proposed highway in order to achieve the purposes of restoring vegetation, protecting subgrade and reducing soil erosion. (2) For slopes, earth borrow pits and waste banks, detour roads, tunnel mouths where their vegetation is damaged, measures should be taken as soon as possible so as to restore the vegetation. (3) In restoring vegetation, only local indigenous plants can be used, any exotic plant species are forbidden. (4) It is to further perfect each engineering measure, planting measure and land reclamation measure for water and soil conservation according to the designing requirements, to scientifically and rationally implement a three-dimensional plantation pattern which combines grass, flower, bush and arbor. Especially for earth slopes, afforestation can be carried out in later construction stage in order to protect subgrade slope stability and reduce soil erosion. (5) Silt in overflow culverts should be cleared in time in order to ensure unobstructed irrigate river system. (6) Carrying out maintenance for protection works and afforestation project. (7) Solid waste management during operation stage Through formulating and propagating regulations, it is forbidden that passengers casually throw out garbage such as beverage bags, easy-open cans, etc. on the highway so as to ensure traffic safety and sanitation/hygiene along both sides of the highway. The sewage and garbage in parking areas and management stations should be cleared periodically, delivered to and disposed of collectively in garbage disposal grounds along the highway, casual throwing-away is forbidden. 3.2 Mitigation measures for water environmental impact 3.2.1 Design stage (1) To optimize and perfect the small bridge and culvert design; for each canal and pond occupied or cut off by the subgrade, remedial measures shall be taken by relocating them under the prerequisite of not compressing the water-discharge cross-section of original river and canal and not influencing the function of original canal and ditch. It should also guarantee that new opening precedes relocating. - 14 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway (2) Water drainage ditches in large bridge floor should be designed strictly according to design specification, with the drainage ditch cross-section be calculated based on the bridge floor runoff produced by the maximum rainfall over the years so as to guarantee that the runoff of bridge floor is discharged in time. (3) In the next design stage, full emphasis should be paid to protect surface water body. During bridge substructure design, related regulations should be followed to explicitly stipulate that the wastes such as driving slags shall not be discharged into surface water body directly; local water conservation and environmental protection departments and other concerned departments shall be consulted to reasonably locate the positions of borrow pits, driving slags shall be used as much as possible in paving subgrade so as to prevent soil erosion from polluting farmland and river system. (4) For the tollgate stations, management stations, parking lots, and maintenance divisions, necessary sewage disposal equipment shall be designed and installed according to their functions, staffing and mobile population so as to ensure that the treated sewage can reach class I criteria of GB8978-1996 Sewage Comprehensive Discharge Standardbefore discharge. (5) In order to prevent vehicles, especially the hazardous cargo vehicles, from being fallen into river and reservoir along the route thus polluting water quality, bridge guardrail designing should be strengthened for bridges overcrossing Mianjiang River. 3.2.2 Construction stage (1) Prevention and control measures for construction waste water pollution The project contract should clearly specify provisions for preventing sprinkle and leakage during transportation of roadbuilding materials (for example asphalt, fuel oil, chemical, pulverized coalash, cement, sand, and stone), their piling locations shall not be near water body or breeding pond in order to avoid being washed away by rain water into water body, thus causing pollution. Deleterious construction materials such as asphalt, fuel oils, and chemical substances shall be covered when piled in stock ground so as to reduce pollution caused by rain wash. Within 100m from riverbank, it is prohibited to set up stock grounds (materials yard), waste banks, and construction campsites. Construction waste water cannot be discharged into rivers and reservoirs directly. The construction waste water shall be circulated and recycled as much as possible so as to effectively control the construction waste water's pollution on local water quality due to its discharge with exceeded standard. (2) Control measures for oil-containing wastewater Oil-containing wastewater shall be controlled by adopting controlled construction process and clean production plan. Advanced equipment and machinery shall be selected as much as possible so as to - 15 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway effectively reduce the quantity of oil leakage, bleeding, drop and spillage, and machinery repair times, thus reducing the production quantity of oil-containing wastewater. During construction process involving inevitable oil leakage, bleeding, drop and spillage, solid oil-absorption materials shall be used as many as possible (for example cotton yarn, saw dust and so on) to collect the oil and transform them into solid substance thus avoiding producing excessive oil-containing waste water. For oil dirts that are seeped into the ground, they should be scraped promptly for collection and sealing, and shall be hauled to garbage ground for processing. Repair and maintenance of machinery, equipment and transportation vehicles shall be conducted in the repair zone of various road section as much as possible to facilitate collection of oil-containing waste; in case that concentrated repair cannot be made because the production quantity of oil-containing wastewater is generally smaller than 0.5m3/d, then all can be absorbed by solid oil-absorption materials for collection, sealing and delivery to outside. In construction site and machinery repair ground, horizontal flow precipitation tank shall be set up, the oil-containing waste water is collected by the precipitation tank, after simple treatments such as acid and alkali neutralization, precipitation, oil separating and dreg removing, the concentrations of oil and other pollutants will reduce. After construction, the precipitation tank will be buried by earth. Collected oil-soaking waste shall be packaged, sealed and hauled to outside along with other solid wastes produced from construction site, the destination of hauling shall select towns with garbage burying or treatment ability. (3) Control measures for life sewage Dining and laundry of construction workers will be managed in a unified way such as concentrated dining and laundry in fixed place and time so as to reduce life sewage production volume as much as possible. During laundry, the detergent amount shall be controlled, hot water or other means can be substituted for so as to reduce the detergent content in sewage. Septic tanks will be set up in construction campsites so as to collect excrement and dining/laundry sewage, the excrement can be used for fertilizing the soil, the dining/laundry sewage can be used in agricultural irrigation after being precipitated. After construction, septic tanks will be buried by earth. Life garbage will be loaded into garbage can, which will be cleaned and hauled out periodically, or a garbage pit can be set up to ferment them so as to be used in fertilizing the soil. After construction, the garbage pit will be buried by earth, if surface vegetation is damaged, vegetation shall be restored. (4) Protection measures for bridge construction For bridge foundation and pile locating in river course, its boring dregs from foundation excavation shall not be discharged into water body directly, the boring dregs must be transported to - 16 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway nearby planned waste bank. During construction, the bridge construction site shall set up simple sedimentation tank in which the boring dregs and mud are precipitated and dried, then hauled to the waste bank. For other bridges overcrossing canals, the bridge pile foundation construction shall be conducted in dry season as preferably as possible, and shall avoid construction in flood season and high water period, the earth and stone works excavated from foundation and pile construction shall be used as much as possible, those that cannot be used will be hauled to nearby waste bank. During bridge construction, maintenance and repair of construction machinery shall be well conducted so as to prevent the fuel oil from leaking and polluting the water body. 3.2.3 Operation stage (1) Sewage disposal equipment in parking lots, management stations and maintenance divisions shall be repaired and maintained periodically to ensure that the treated sewage can reach class I criteria of GB8978-1996 Sewage Comprehensive Discharge Standard. (2) Water quality monitoring plan shall be carried out, supplementary environmental protection measures shall be taken according to the water quality monitored results. (3) Vehicles that leak or overload bulk goods are forbidden to run on the highway in order to prevent the bulky goods from spillover and causing water pollution along the route. (4) Water pollution risk prevention measures for river-crossing bridges are presented in section 3.6. 3.3 Mitigation measures for acoustic environmental impact 3.3.1 Design stage (1) It is required to design the material transportation route rationally to keep distant from residential areas so as to avoid impact of wind-borne flying dust and noise on residents. (2) It is suggested to further optimize and adjust design plan of some local route through dodging and relocating etc. so as to make the route keeping away from acoustically sensitive locations. (3) If constrained by local conditions, the route alignment cannot dodge or feasibly impossible to dodge in terms of technical and economic justification, noise-reduction measures shall be considered for the influenced sensitive locations in acoustic environment from road design, at the same time the funds for implementing these measures shall be budgeted. (4) Environmental protection measures that need engineering design proposed in the environmental impact report should be designed for environmental protection simultaneously during the preliminary stage. (5) According to prediction, different sensitive locations shall adopt different noise-reduction measures such as removal and installing noise-reduction windows, etc. which will be included in the - 17 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway design and bidding documents. 3.3.2 Construction stage (1) To strengthen construction management. When the construction site lies near schools, the construction unit is required to know the schooling schedule, strong-noise construction machinery is forbidden to operate at schooling time during the day; in construction site 150m within which there is dense residential area, high-noise construction machinery is forbidden to operate at night (22:00 - 06:00). If required by production techniques, successive construction must proceed at night, the construction unit must obtain approval from local people's government above county-level or responsible authority, and should also do good propaganda in advance and shall utilize portable or temporary sound barrier as noise-reduction measure. (2) Construction unit must select construction machines and transportation vehicle complying with relevant national standards, shall select preferably low-noise construction machinery and techniques, for example substituting hydraulic tool for atmospheric pressure tool, substituting low-noise drive cast-in-place piling for impact or vibration type piling. Fixed mechanical equipment with large vibration should be installed with vibration-reducing base, at the same time attention should be given to their maintenance and correct operation so as to maintain the noise of roadbuilding machinery to the lowest level. Construction machinery with high noise shall adopt provisional noise-isolating measures. Material stock grounds and mixing stations should be located 300m away from acoustically sensitive locations. (3) Noise of roadbuilding machinery is characterized by abruptness, irregularity, discontinuity and high strength, etc. According to investigation, noise at the construction site sometimes goes beyond class 4 noise standard, which can be generally alleviated by changing construction method. For example high-noise operation can be carried out during daytime (06:00-22:00), or the operation time of each construction machinery can be adjusted. Noises produced from material transport, shocking and people's shouting during construction period can be alleviated through contractor's good-mannered construction activity and effective management. (4) Detour roads shall be far away from schools, hospitals, and residences, and shall not cross acoustic sensitive locations. When there are large residences 50m within both sides of detour road, hauling of building materials is forbidden in this detour road at night. (5) In order to supervise and protect residents' production and life, and school environment, acoustic environmental monitoring will be carried out in construction stage. The supervising engineer is required to sample-monitor construction site within 100m of which there are larger residential areas or schools during construction stage. Based on monitored results, corresponding noise prevention measures shall be adopted, for instance: limit working time, change hauling route, adopt temporary sound barrier, etc. (6) The work health standard shall be followed to control construction workers' working hours, personnel protective measures shall be provided to mechanical operators and - 18 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway concerned personnel, such as wearing ear plug and helmet, and so on. (7) Hauling roadbuilding materials in the National Road 323 and other roads may deteriorate the acoustic environmental quality in sensitive locations along the route; in order to accurately and timely grasp the acoustic environmental quality in sensitive locations along the construction road (including detours), during construction stage, the supervising engineer is required to monitor the noise in sensitive locations along two sides of G323. According to the monitored results, if necessary the material hauling route can be considered to change, if unable to avert, temporary sound barriers can be built or some economic compensation can be made with agreement from local residents. 3.3.3 Operation stage (1) It is suggested that planning department not to approve to build schools and hospitals that have high acoustic quality demand within 332m from both sides of the highway, and to build houses within 142m, otherwise the acoustic environment protective measures should be solved by the construction units themselves. (2) Acoustic environmental protection measures for sensitive locations with predicted noise excess In order to ensure a quiet working, studying and living environment for residents along the proposed highway, corresponding noise prevention measures are taken according to the predicted noise excess, positions, scale, local conditions and project characteristics of sensitive locations. Generally speaking, the protective measures available for acoustic environment include: adjust the highway alignment, build sound barrier, remove resident's houses, install sound-proofing windows and build wall enclosures, etc. See Table 3.3.3-1 for the comparison of each measure and their noise reduction effects. - 19 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway Table 3.3.3-1 List of commonly used noise-reduction measures Noise-reduction No Measure Cost Applicable conditions index 2500 yuan/ Sensitive building50m from Sound boarding 68dB linear meter road center line 1 Sound barrier Relatively centralized residence Sound boarding 3200 yuan / 810dB subgrade height parallel toot + noise barrier linear meter higher than house floor height Remove resident's houses 30000 Distinct from New housing land available to 2 for environmental 50000 yuan noise source sparse families protection each house Sensitive building50m from Build noise-proofing 500 yuan / road center line 3 walls for residents' 46dB linear meter House floor height parallel toot houses higher than subgrade height Install ventilation 4 sound-proofing 1520dB 3000 yuan Wide application, especially windows each suitable to high-rise building Because this project is still in its feasibility study stage, and the preliminary design has not finished yet, the recommended acoustic protection measures are subject to further refinement in the next stage. The available measures that can be used are mainly to remove the households. The removal and resettlement cost for each household is 30000 yuan; the cost for sound barrier along the highway is 2500-3200 yuan/linear meter; the cost for installing ventilation sound-proofing window is 10000 yuan per each household. Comparing the above-mentioned measures, sound barrier is better in noise reduction effects, which needs no lands for new residence houses and takes up little land, but which also involves large investment, uneconomical to sensitive locations with scattered households. The advantage of household removal is that it can solve the noise pollution problem in one single step with moderate investment, but needs lands for new residence houses. Installing ventilation sound-proofing windows has remarkable effect, but needs forced ventilation. See Table 3.3.3-2 for the acoustic environmental protection measures of sensitive locations. Before the measures are implemented, opinions shall be solicited from concerned households, if disagreed with the recommended measures, other alternative measures should be considered. For sensitive locations with small predicted excess, mid-term monitoring will be taken, and according to the monitored results, further measures will be adopted such as house removal or installing sound-proofing facility. - 20 - Environmental Mmanagement Plan for Ailing-Ruijin Highway Table 3.3.3-2 Acoustic environmental protection measures of sensitive locations in the recommended scheme of the proposed highway Name of Recom Implemen Noise excess and environmental Noise-red Invest No sensitive protection measure comparison mended uction tation ment locations measure effect time Predicated noise excess Noise excess by 0.9~7.1 dB in mid/long-term operation stage Short-term monitoring will be taken Require and measures will be determined according to the monitored results. acoustic Short-ter Dongtouling sound barrier to build sound design, 1.25 1 K6+650 barrier 500m long and 2.5 m high with Sound m noise million K7+080 an investment of 1.25 million barrier yuan(2500 yuan/linear meter), centered yuan operation reduction residence, good effect. stage EP removalwithin the assessment by more scope there are 50 households, to remove 40 households with a cost of than 8dB 1.2 million yuan (30,000 yuan/household).
