According to the findings of the monitoring and tests, significant finding of the study are as follows. (1) The status quo of the air quality is good, the capacity of atmospheric cnvironment is big. The avcrage consistency of NOx. CO in one day is not exceed the standard of air quality. TSP consistency in majority spot are not exceed standard except Wulapo. Dacaotan and Chaiwopu. (2) Along the highway, cxcept little section's acoustic Cnvironment is effected by old :road mralic noise and people's living noisc, acoustic environmental quality are good. The background value in day is lower than 50dB, in night is lower than 40dB. In thc 47 noise sensitive spots, only the acoustic environmental quality of Wulapo. Salt Lakc Chemical Plant, Technical School of Turpan. Turpan 20th Hospital is worse. (3) The ground vcgetation cover is lowcr, but the community is steady, and is mainly xic or supa-xenc subshrub and fruticous, In the scope of 200m witbin both side of the old road, the lead content in the soil and herbage is lower, it is within background and safe kvl, and wheat, riee, maze lead content is rather low, not be polluted. (4) Surface water quality is good, soil erosion is slight. (S)Therc arc no large, rare animals in region along the highway. There arc small-sized, common animals such as bird and rodent which are widely-dispersed and adaptability, which are little affected by the project. 3. Recommened actions are devised into those in the period of design. construction and operation. Ae to their individual treatment, please refer to Appendix I. 4. In acccrdance with the state policy laws, after constractor consulted with govcrn- ment and inhabtants, the special action plan on resettlement and land requisition are com- piled. S.

The alignment design and borrow sites should avoid as much as possiblc townships and dense population area. Both unit 6 and unit 7 of the highway have compared and roc- ommcnd&d scheme. The compared scheme is designed along the old highway, to be wid- ened on the basis of the old highway. The recommended scheme passes through small hilly land in the south of local railway by way of Ganquanpu to Erdaogou, shortened by 4.744km in comparigon with the old highway. By comparison in the same degree of econo- my and technology (see TabU) and in consideration of the environmcntal protection items of the recommended scheme are less than those of the compared scheme (eg. the snsitive noise points of the former are twenty-two less than those of the later), it is more reasona- ble to adopt the recommended scheme. 2. The environmental impact of this project is mainly noise pollution 3. The project occapies 665 ha desert grassland, the area of each class gassland is scn in Tab.2.

The highway is mainly situated in alluvial plain ( except Baiyanggou and Ganquanpu is mountaLin ridged and hilly area) and situated at 6-7 degree intensity earthquake area. Thc arca along the highway has three water systems: Baiyanggou, north slopc of Tlanshan Mountain and Urumqi River. The water quality is fairly good. The fishery and aquatic resources are mainly amassed in the water areas of Chaiwopu Lake, big and small Salt Lakc. Thc forcst resource is the secondary forest of Baiyanggou, grapc trecs or Turpan City, ecological forest of Chuiwopu and some artificial forcst in other sections. The main zonal vegetation is desert of xeric shrubs and hemi-shrubs, which constitute the deset pasturc. The Peregrinus make up the majority of wild animal species without endan- gerd or precious species in the area along the highway. Except cities, towns and viages, the area within the evaluation range is gobi or dcsert landscape and sparsely populated. 3. The highway to be built is an important part of'cros' main line ofXiniang com- munications, the key section that Urumqi, the capital or Xinjang Uygur Autonomous Rce giun, links up with East, Soulb and North Xinjang, and one of the important component parts of 'Eurasia Bridge'. Many large and middle sized key industries, mineral enterprises, energy bases, agriculture and husbandry processing bases distribute along the line. The population in the area along the highway is 2.1 million. The operation of the highway will improve the backward conditions orXinjang communcations and invesbnent environment and play an active role in the developmcnt of industry, agriculture and tertiary industry of -6-  this arca. Aftcr the compleLion or -hc highway, the annual economic bcncirt will bc at Icast 224.9436 million yuan (RMB), and there will bc conciderable indirect economic and social bcnerfts. Te payoff periocl is 18 years (including fivc yearec construction)according to the ten-percent and twenty-percent decrease of traffic volnum in the class-I and clss -! section respectively on condition of toll. The payoff period Is 16 yes (including flve years Coortruction) on condition of toll free (without decrease of traffic volume: in thc enow highway). IV. Expected Envlroantal Inipacts 1. In general vehicle volumc, concentration or thrce terms (NO1, CO and C,1H) ac- cord with the standard in various ection in every forecasted year. In peak vehiclc volumc, all is not excess the standard in varions section in 1999 and 2005, except slight exceeding standard in Miquan and Fukang when wind dirction is perpendicular to highway, whose angcs is within 4dOm and 30m, respectivcly. NOxand Tch exceed standard in Wulapo (only when wind direction and highway moct at right angles), Fukang and Miquan section, its range is within 40; In Fukang section when wind direction is perpendicular to the highway, its exceeding standard range of NOxis within 120m, Tchis within 90m, when wind direction is paralel to the highway, threc terms is not cxcred standard; when both mcet at 45 ', the rnge of NOxis with-in 50m, T ,is within 30, During peak vehicle volume, in Miquan whosc pollution is most serious among various section, when wind direction is perpendicu- lar to the highway, concentration of pollution are respectively: NOxis 0.2467mg / m3, or as 0.64 times as the standard; T,,is 0.2353mg/ rn3, or as 0.47 times as the standard; CO is 02165mg/s3. n . ge fil.l-r Teaciral probabi I Ity of exceeding the stancard: <.L% 2. In construction period, noise impacts is grat Blasting mountains, sorts of machinical noise will impacting on people's living and working, at night specially. Thc forecast results of noise in 30 sensitive districts along recommended scheme within aessment scope in forecast period in scrvice phase is can been secn at Tab.A. 5C. c i. m 3. Vegetation and soil erosion: Obvious soil erosion won't occur if ciefctive mcasures are taken in deign and construction. The operation of the highway will have small effect on agrculture. Water quality may go down due to pollution of surface water or river during construction, but this effect is temporary and small. 4. Because of small precipitation of Xinjang, the rain watcr ponding an the road sue fs very maUi, so, the drainae of highway wi not affect frm irrlgation system. S. Asphalt mixing sites can affect air quality. 6. Accident probability may exist but small in construction. Risk of traffic accident and hazardous materials transport in particular exists during operation period, due to car ying a large quantity of building materals in construction phace, iraffc volume certainly -7 -  Tab. 4 Noise Forecast Results of Sensitive Points "mesmefnt number standard nae of seetion population 1999 2005 2010 2018 Leq ddBA of order _ day night 1 entrce ot Xlngfl Rosd 10 0 0 X X 70 55 2 Qquanqun adul 56 0 0 X X 70 65 3 Plmnng rw of Fukang O 0 0 X 70 55 Nickel Srmeltery 4 Xlngung Sldul s0 0 0 0 0 60 50 6 S1-S%,)nn. 120 0 0 0 X 60 50 d |LluyUn Erdul 74 X X X _ 70 i5 7 grad separatllon of TiAnch Road 87 0 X X X 70 55 8 Fukang grade separion 90 0 X X 70 55 9 lelgoudlan 539 A A A A 70 55 10 the Vocatknal Senior Middle 95 X X X A 60 50 School of Miquan ___ 11 Xigongcun Wudul 750 X X X A 70 55 12 Xigongcun Qldul 859 X X X A 60 50 13 Xlgongcun Lludul 650 X X X A 60 50 14 Talpingqu SMdul 500 X X X A 60 S0 I5 L- Shnphahe Sandul no220 A A A A 70 55 16 Shanphhah Whdul 470 X X X A 70 55 17 Dalyughe Shallso ehanng 84 A A A A 70 C5 Is Blintuan YLjn 300 A A A A 70 55 19 grade sepratlon of KahlE mt Road 200 X A A A 70 55 20 Turpan buracks 1000 x x A A 70 55 21 No. 20 HospIt 202 A A A A o so 22 the Tecbnlal Scool of Turpan 770 A A A A- 6o so 23 Dabancheng Qldul S0 X X X X 70 65 24 Yanhu ChemlcalFlant 15000 X X A 70 C5 25 Wenjlao Fann 50 X X A A 70 55 26 Jinwcl Pltic Factory 70 0 X X A 60 50 27 Shulxlgou Gangdaungchang 120 _A A A 70 55 28 Urunql Building Materiab Work 100 X A A A 70 65 29 Oongybhl Prefabrlcatlon Workahop 4 A A A A 70 55 30 Wlatpo grade separatn 2000 A a A a 70 55 Note 2 0 refern to not exceeding the standsrd. x refen to + IdB(A) aromd the standd value, A refen to I exceeding the standard more than 3 dB(A). -8-  V. Management of Mltigation Meaurea As to miLigation measures to important impacts, they will vary according to diffcrent conditions in ensitivc pionts with environmcntal impacts. For instance, the adoption or sound barriers, recettlement, trec planting and seection or pavement design will be taken to reduce noise. The transport of hazardous matcrials will be controlled. And for some unexpected accidents, they will bc mitigated by cmergency rescue measures. 1. Set up sound barnies, plant trees or resettle in accordence with different situations of sensitive noisc poinu such as scbools, inhabiant areas and other dense population areas. 2. Set up traffic signs both in chinese and in Uygur to call driver'c attention to traffic sfety and reducing noise in dense poulation area. 3. Trees planted are poplar, elm and somc narrow-leaved oleaster, or somc willow in suitable place, which can beautify environment besidcs reducing noisc. Sct sound barriers or sound insulating windows and doors to ensurc noise conform to the standard if land for planting trees is in short supply. 4. In Miquan County, the consistency of NOxcxceed the standard in middle and later forecasting operation period, expand the requisition land scope, plant trees and grass to re- duce the pollutanL S. Avoiding planting vegetables with rhizome (eg.: potato ect.) within 50m, along both sides or the highway to prevent them from lead pollution. 6. Resettlement should be taken into account if houscs quite near the highway (less than 6Gm) in lens population area. 7. The estimated cost or environmental protection is about 11.6368 milion yuan (RMB). see Tab.5.

Constructor should strictly observe the regulations related to environmental protc- tion during construction. as follows. (l)Noisc Working time should be properly arrangcd in the vicinity or resident area, big noisy work should be done in day time (9: 00- 22: 00), and forbiddcn at nightLNoisy work bhould bc arranged after school or during vacation when construction sitc ncar chools. Dc- tuminc the placc for sites, asphalt mixer and matcrials transport which is over SOOm far away from acoustic scnsitive points. (2) Dust and Asphalt Smoke Sprinkle road surface with watcr to rcducc dust in contruction. According to related materials, the dust can reduce by 50-70 percent irwater is sprinklcd I or 2 times L day. This - , -,ican be used to control dust near source orwater and in dense population areas such as Turpan, Salt Lake Chemical Plant, Wulapo, Fukang and Gumudi, Also, sprinklc earth heap with watcr to reduce dust cause by wind whilc sprintle road surface. Advanced tecb- nology should be adopted for asphalt melting and mixing, its sites should be far away fron deae population area and its chimmey should be proper high. CD Ecological Environment a. Strictly limit cutting trees and pressing grassland. In the section of Turpan street, the grapc trces of local resident should bc protectcd. In the scction of cutting, trecs should be planted and recovcr orginal state as much as possiblc after construction. b. During construction of Baiyanggou section, earth and stone or excavation should be transported away to protect the secondary forest and Baiyang River. C. Contractors should be educated to protect natural resourse and wildlives. Hunting is strictly prohibited. VI Analyss f fAltermatne This route of highway is selcted from three schemes, reflects various opinions of local people and government, and is considered as the best scheme in viCw of enviromncntal pro- tetion. 1VI. Supervision and Anessunt 1. The supervision organizations arc Xinjang Environmcntal Protection Burcau and the related cnvironmental protection bureaus of prefccture, city and county, their funcLtions are to review and appraise the environmental impacts and the EIA report Contractor en- trusts the Engineer of the Supervision Division of Xinjang Communications Dcpartment with the supervision. 2. The supervision and monitoring will focus on noise, atmosphere (TSP, NOx), qual- ity of crop and herbage, lead contents of soil and plant, cultural relics, quantity of wild- and migration of livestocks. * ~~-10-  '11. Insuttution and Training 1. Set up an environmcntal group subsidiary to Xinjiang Communications Depart- ment to meet the rcquiremcnts or environmcnt protcction and mitigation mcasures. This group includes 8 stalls who have know-how and cxperience of environmental protection, 6 staff. arc in Urumqi, Turpan and Fukang, 2 stafrs arc in charge of the wholc line. Funds of uperviction and monitoring is supplied by the Projct Ofrice or Xinjang Communications Departmcnt, the annual cost of both construction and opcration period arc 200 thousands yuan RMB ecach, the lump-sum payment of instruments, equipmcnts, and vchiclcs is 2 mil- lion yuan RMB, and the cost of acident supervision is 200 thousands yuan RMB. 2. Set up management and cxecutivc system of environmental protcction and cnvi- ronment supervision system. 3. Send one person and six persons to the environmental institution abroad and at home, rcspectively, for two-month training of environmental supervision, monitoring and ascement conccrned with communications K Involvement of Affected Groups and Non-Governmental Organization The affected groups and NGO,along the highway to be built, and the peoplc of resettlement or land requisitioned in particular, havc bcen consulted or polled intensively to understand their opinions on the highway. Thc. consulting itcms are wether or not they ap- prove thc project, the intcnsity of the cffect on them, and the advantage and disadvantage of the project, cct. Thc total of person-times consulted and poled is 1,004, among them, 150 person-times by polling, 300 pcrson-times by tcelphone consulting and 554 person-times by consulting meceting. Among the pcrsons, peasants and herdsmcn account for S0 percent, the other 50 percent are workers, urban inbabitants and people of individual industry and commerce, The minority nationality (mainly Uygur and Huizu) accounts for 53 percent of the total. As a result, 30 percet considered that the project has considerable effect on their normal work and lives, 45 percent considered that the project has small effect on them and 25 percent considred that the project has no effect on them. 55 percent aproved the construction of thc highway, and considered that the higbway would improve their traffic condition and spur the econoic development of their region, and there would bc nothing but advantage; 29 percent considered that the project had noth- ing to do with them and there would be ncither advantage nor disadvatage; 16 perccnt dis- approved the construction of the highway and considered that the higway would damage their farmland, grassand, forcst or buildings and change thcir normal life styles. Among them, 15.5 percent would approve the project if govenment reovwer their damage, the othcr 0.5 percent had an intranigent attitude, for cxamplc. the private managers or board and lodging or Dabancheng section considered that the changed route of the new highway would reduce their incomes because of the loss of customers, and government could not ful- ly recover their damagcL -11I-  Having heard the negative opioniou, designer altered and revised the design and construction plan. e. g. to get additioual passageway. set up sound barriers, adiust schedule of construction with noise, and supervise to put the design and method mentioned above into effect by the envi- ronmental supervise engineer. For people who do not want to be moved, should talk to them pa. tiently to bring them round, show advantages and disadvantages, or try to persuade them to be moved. If they remain the same, should be forced to be moved as the locl stipulated concerned. 12  Appcndix 1 Summary or Recommendcd Actions 1. Design stage (1) Treatment of soil borrow areas: to bc restored and uscd as farm land, forest land and grass land. (2) Dcvision of allccted villages: to bc linkcd up by propcr passage ways; (3) Transport of hazardous and toxic materials: to speciry special routes and time, and utrengthen manageMent; (4) Land requisition and removal: to work out Resettlement Action Plan; (5) Densely populated areas: would be away from it as much as possibic. (6) Interference or construction with Cxisting roads: to be reduced by setting up signs nd strengthening transport management; (7) Watcr loss and soil crosion: to keep away from unstable zones and to pave the ground with stones, to plant grss and trCss, so as to reinforce roadbed. (8) Makeshift and subsidary roads woufld be made full use of, for carrying building materials.
