INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Background The Word Bank (WB) financed Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project (WUTCP) is an important component in the Master Plan of Urban Traffic of Wuhan People's Government for improvement of the urban traffic. This project will play an important role in solving the three problems (such as through transport, over-passing-Yangtze River or under-passing-Yangtze River transport and transport in central urban area) that Wuhan City is facing, improving the urban ambient air quality and living conditions of the residents. It will stimulate the coordinated social, economic and environmental development of Wuhan City. The Environmental Impact Assessment of this project shows that the project will negatively impact the environmental conditions along the project roads and in some regional areas. However, it will positively impact the ambient air quality as well as the control of the atmospheric pollution in the whole urban area, especially in the densely populated central urban area. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of this project, as a part of the environmental impact assessment documentation of WUTCP, is one of the important documents requested by WB. The purpose of EMP is to ensure the implementation of the mitigation measures proposed in EIA. For the project to be environmental feasible, the necessary mitigation measures must be implemented. 1.2 Objective, Strategy and Performance Indicator of EMP 1.2.1 Objective As indicatecd in the EIA of this project, traffic noise and tail gases from motor vehicles are the main adverse impacts imposed by the project on the area along the project roads. Besides, the land using mode will be changed by the construction of roads, resulting in separation of communities. Detailed descriptions are given in the EMP for the mitigation measures for different environmental impacts, enviromnental management, supervision and monitoring scopes. Thus, the EMP can be used as a guidance document for the implementation of the above-mentioned activities. The EMP plays the following roles: * Definition of the environmental mitigation measures for the impacted targets. The Project Construction Office, environmental assessment unit and design institute have made on-the-spot investigation and confirmation for the impacted sensitive receptors of this project. and they have put forth the effective mitigation measures. The relevant and detailed information about these measures has been incorporated into the engineering design of this project by the designers. * Providing an environmental guidance documnenit. The EMP, after being reviewed by WB, will be the environmental document that will be provided to the construction supervision unit. environmental supervision unit and other project-related institutions  Wuhlan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Maniagement Plan during the construction and operation phases. * Definition of roles and responsibilities of relevant institutions. The roles and responsibilities of the relevant functional organizations and administrative institutions are defined. The approaches for communications and exchanges between different institutions are also proposed. * Development of the programs for environmental monitoring in construction and operation phases. EMP has developed the environmental monitoring programs for the construction and operation phased, so as to guarantee the effective implementation of the environmental mitigation measures and to handle the unpredictable environmental problems or contingency at the earliest time possible. 1.2.2 Strategy and Performance Indictor In order to minimize the environmnental impact of this project, the following overall environmental objectives and performance indicators for the environmental management in the construction and operation phases have been worked out by the joint efforts of the officials of the WB, the international consultants, EA team and the Project Construction Office. Overall objective: maintaining the sustainability of the urban social economic and environmental development, improving the urban environmnental quality, and minimizing and reducing or otherwise compensating adverse impacts to the communities and the environment. The detailed actions and indicators are as follows. Actions: * Developing and implementing an EMP and monitoring program * Developing and implementing the MVECS to mitigate the impact on the ambient air * Upgrading the existing I/M system by using a portion of the project investment Indicators: * Inspecting the monitoring results of the monitoring factors listed in the environmental monitoring program during the construction and operation phases * Implementing all the environmental mitigation measures developed in the EIA according to the specified schedule * Developing the MVECS by December 31, 2006 * Upgrading the existing l/M system by December 31, 2006 1.3 Legal Basis and Applicable Standards The EMP is piepared in accordanice witlh lhe lesults of the EIA Report of WUTCP.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Project Name, Nature and Location * Project name: Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project * Project nature: New road construction, existing road upgrading, and road expansion * Total investment of the project: The static total investment at the construction phase of this project is RMB 4.93634 billion Yuan; it is proposed to use USD 0.2 billion loan from the World Bank. * Scope and location of the project: All the contents of the project are distributed over the area within the scope of the city proper of Wuhan (within the middle ring line). The geological position of this project is shown in Figures 2.1-1, and 2.1-2. 2.2 Project Contents and Components Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project is a complex system consisting of several sub-projects or components. Among the components there will be physical works as well as improvement and upgrade of relevant management systems and software. According to the common characteristics of various components, the project may be divided into five categories: road infrastructure construction, traffic control and safety, public transit improvement, road maintenance and environmental protection components. According to the EIA Report of this project, three sub-projects such as road infrastructure construction engineering, public transit improving engineering and road maintenance engineering will cause larger adverse impact on environment, so corresponding environmental mitigation measures shall be adopted for these three sub-projects, and it is the core content of this EMP. While the other two sub-projects such as the traffic control and safety engineering and environmental protection engineering will produce larger positive benefit to the whole environmental quality of Wuhan City, the negative environmental impact from these two sub-projects during the construction and operation phases is tiny, and the environmental positive benefit produced by them will be reflected from the overall environmental monitoring results during the construction phase. The general description of the contents of Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project is shown in Table 2.2-1, the contents of road infrastructure construction engineering are shown in Table 2.2-2, the contents of public transit terminals and head and end bus depots are shown in Table 2.2-3, and the contents of road maintenance engineering are shown in Table 2.2-4.  Wuuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management l'lan Table 2.2-1 Description of Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Static Inmestment Sub-project Contents of construction (R.\IB lO4 X uan) Road main framesork engineerinig 6 roads \\ ith total lengthi of 44.658 m Road interchianige engineering 13 nc%% viaducts 18 roads ancd I viaduct over passing raldway Roacl Urban trunk road engineering rwith total length of 45,436 m 405,025 infrastructui e Bianch road netxvoik 3 roads with total length of 2,755 mn improvement engineering Foot viaduct engineering 9 pedestrian bridges and 8 underpasses Traffic control Improvement of footwvay transport system, improvement of bicycle transport system. priority of and safety Public Transit channelization of crossing transport, road tranisport regional control system 27,456 engineering (ATC) of urban arca, road transport safety, propagation and education of users of road Set up modernized public transit dispatching and information management system; technical aid project, Public Transit system Public transit improvement reform, adjustment of Public Transit lanes 26,078 Construction and reconstruction of Public Transit transport terminal II items engineering Corollary installation construction of head and end bus depots 12 items Reconstruction of Public Transit port-type stop 14 items 8 roads ancl one bricige \ ith Road maintenance enginmei ing Road total length of 42783 m maintenance Reform municipal maintenance institution, 29,360 engineering upgrade municipal maintenance equipment, raising scientific degree of road maintenance Environmental 1,449 protection Tail gases automatic monitoring system, traffic noise automatic display system cngineering 493634 (Including Total cost TA investment) 12  Wulian Urban Transport Construction Project Environmeiltal Mianagement Plan Table 2.2-2 Schedule of Road Infrastructure Construction Components Widlth of red Iiie Class No Description of Engineering Lenglh of road (111) Colirtmction Remarks (na) Before After *ear project project RDI I Northerin section ofmiddle ring lie 15.000 0 50 (Elovosarn-Sanli ntais) RDI lal Main trunk road engineering 2 920 0 2003 (Etoussan-Gutian Rd 2) RDI la2 Main trunk road engineering (Gutian Rd 1,885 0 *0 2003 2-Changqing Rd) RDI 13 Main trunk road engineering (Ciangqing 790 0 50 2004 Rd-Gusaoshu) Nest Main truik road engfineering 0 50 2005 RD I Ia4_580o 25 (Gusaoshu-Sanilntan) _I I I - RDI lb Xindun viaduct Half-cloverleafdouble-deck interchlange .

Plan 3. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROJECT This chapter summarizes the adverse environmental impacts produced by this project; these data mainly are from the EIA Report of this project. 3.1 Present Status of Environmental Quality 3.1.1 Ambient Air Quality For 1996-2000, daily average value of SO2 in the urban area was 0.037-0.044 mg/Nm3 and average value of five days was 0.041 mg/Nm3. Annual average value of S02 in 2000 in urban areas was lower than that in 1996 by 13.95 per cent. In addition, annual average value of SO2 in recent five years (1999-2000) in the urban areas of Wuhan City can all reach requirements of standard value of Class 2 concentration. Annual and daily average values in five years, except for that in 1998 with a bit ascending, basically descended. Daily mean concentration value of S02 of main traffic arteries primarily monitored conforms to class 2 concentration standard of air quality standard. Daily mean concentration value of NO2, except for that that of the points of both sides on Yangguang Hotel of Zhongshan Avenue and No. 27 Wuhan Middle School on Yanhe Avenue is slightly beyond standard, it conforms to class 2 concentration standard of air quality standard at other measuring points. Daily mean concentration value of PM1O, except for that that of the points of both sides of Hongsheng Vehicle Repair Factory on Fazhan Avenue and No. 15 Wuhan Middle School, that of other measuring points is far beyond class 2 concentration standard of air quality standard. 3.1.2 Acoustic Environmental Quality According to the monitoring results of current noise status, environmental noise statues of environment sensitive receptors and main impacted conditions are as follows: Analysis of current environmental noise conditions of environment sensitive receptors involved by reconstructing and expending roads For environment sensitive receptors involved by reconstructing and expending roads of this project, except for 8 points such as dormitory of Provincial People's Court, Provincial People's Court, Shahu Mansions and Hongling Primary School on North Zhongshan Road, clinic of Wuhan Science and Technology University and Tuanjiexin Village on Qinyuan Road, Cuijiadun on Yanhe Avenue and L,iqiao Primary School on south section of middle ring lie conform to class I standard of GB 3096-93, other 117 points are all beyond class I standard of GB 3096-93. which accounts for more than 93 per cent of all sensitive receptors. Analysis of current road boundarv noise conditions of road maintenance section In the road maintenance scctlon of this project, road bouLndary noise of Jiefang Avenue, Hanyang Avenue, Zlhongslian Avenue, Heping Avenue, Gutian Main Road, Wushenig Road and South .liefang Road is beyond class 4 standard of GB 3096-93. 18  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan Road boundary noise of Wangqing Highway conforms to class 4 standard of GB 3096-93 in the day and is beyond standard at night. 3.1.3 Vibration Environmental Quality It can be known from the monitoring results of the present status that at the points interfered by traffic vibration, environmental vibrating value VL,1o is 50.2-67.3 dB in the day and 57.0-67.5 dB at night; compared with GB 10070-88 Environmental Vibration Standard of Urban area, they conform to the standard; at the points without traffic vibration, environmental vibrating value VL,1o is 48.5-63.8 dB in the day and 48.0-59.3 dB at night, which conforms to the standard of mixed areas and commercial center areas. 3.1.4 Sunshine It can be known from the assessed results of current sunshine conditions that sensitive buildings of this project are not impacted by sunshine of the buildings at opposite side. Current sunshine conditions of rooms towards the north at the south side of east-west direction road can't reach the corresponding sunshine standard. Sunshine time AT of north windows of the houses at the south side of the roads is 0 hours. In the sensitive buildings of Huangjiadawan, Yunhe Residential Area and Fazhan Village (south side), north windows of the first row of houses neighboring roads can't reach the corresponding sunshine standard at present, which shall not be used for the purposes of teaching, curing, recuperating or residence, etc. Sunshine time AT of houses without sunshade wall at the right ahead of the north side of the road is from sunrise to sunset; AT=1 0 h. In the sensitive buildings of Gusaoshu Primary School, Gusaoshu, Houhu Primary School, Miaoyi Kindergarten and Fazhan Village (sough side), sunshine time of bottom floor of north windows of the first row of houses facing the road on Winter Solstice is above 3 hours, which conforms to the corresponding sunshine standard and can be used for purposes of schools, kindergarten and residence. 3.1.5 Water Environment In general, all water areas show nutrition pollution that takes N and P as the representatives and the organic pollution that takes COD and BOD as the representatives. Biological diversity in the water areas is low. 3.1.6 Soil and Vegetation Wuhan City has many kinds of soils that contain rich nutrients that are suitable for growth of different kinds of plants. Plant flora of Wuhan City belongs to the section transiting from evergreen broad-leaved forest of intermediate subtropical area to deciduous broad-leaved forest of north subtropical area. Vegetation in the project arca is subject to the man-planted plants, which mainly include camphor, bamboo, cunninghamia sinensis, oil-tea camellia, tea, privet, masson pine. metasequoia, chinar and bald cypress, etc. Trees such as chinar, taxodium. masson pine and metasequoia are widely planted on the roads of the urban areas. 19  Wtihan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan 3.1.7 Cultural Relics and Historic Sites According to the investigation, there are two cultural relics around the project, that is, Site of New Fourth Army in Hankou and Uprising Gate of the Revolution of 1911. Site of New Fourth Army in Hankou is located in Lugouqiao Road in Hankou, which was built in 1921; it belongs to brick-concrete structure. It was in charge of all the meeting activities of the Hankou Office of New Fourth Army at that time. The Uprising Gate of the Revolution of 1911 is the only one gate of the ten gates of ancient Wuchang city walls reserved, with an original name of Zhonghe Gate. In the Wuchang Uprising, the uprising army collected in the Chu Observation Tower took the Zhonghe Gate by storm at first and opened the door for the entrance for the Nanhu Big Gun Army and horse army outside the gate. The Big Gun Army took the Government House by storm together with the other armies after they entered into the city, so it played an important role in the Wuchang Uprising and it was reputed as the "Beginning the Triumph of Wuchang Uprising". It was renamed as the Uprising Gate. The present Uprising Gate was rebuilt in 1981. It belongs to a provincial-level cultural-relic-protective unit, and the shortest distance between it and the red line of Jinshui Road is 25 m. 3.2 Environmental Impact during Construction Phase During construction, some activities, such as land acquisition, relocation of residents, excavation of the ground, laying pipes, material transporting and road construction, will produce noise, vibration, flying dust and solid waste and sewage water, so a certain impact will be brought on ambient air, acoustic environment and water environment, traffic, safety, community and residents' life. According to the characteristics of environmental impact in the construction phase, necessary en, ironment mitigation measures shall be taken to reduce and eliminate the negative impact. 3.3 Environmental Impact during Operation Phase 3.3.1 Ambient Air 3.3.1.1 Analysis of Forecasted Results of Ambient Air Quality at Both Sides of Road According to the forecasted results, the overproof conditions of ambient air quality at both sides of roads in 2007 and 2012 are under unfavorable meteorological condition, but under the annual average meteorological conditions it will not exceed the standard value, the overproof extent of the concentration of NOx is rather serious. According to the forecasted results made by using MOBIL 5 mode, and comparing to the pollutant discharge volume of single vehicle by the year 2007 and 2012, that in 2020 will decrease at large extent because that the motor vehicles execute Class 4 emission standard of Euro Standard. So under both conditions of annual averagye meteorological and unfavorable meteorological ones. the ambienit air quality at both sides of project roads will not exceed standard by the year 2020. 20  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan * In 2007, the exceeding standard of ambient air quality at both sides of roads is under unfavorable meteorological condition. Of which, except that the north section of middle ring line (Etouwan-Sanjintan), Qinghua Road and Huangpu Road (Fazhan Avenue-middle ring line) belong to new roads; the extent of exceeding standard of the other roads that air quality exceeds standard is mitigated due to the shunting fLtnction of this project. Under the condition without this project, there are five road sections where NOx exceeds the standard, including Jianshe Avenue (Science and Technology Palace-Huangpu Road), Xianggang Road, Youyi Road, Narniwan Viaduct and Hanxi Road 5, and the scope of exceeding standard is less than 25 m. Of which, CO in Xianggang Road exceeds standard with an exceeding-scope of 5 m. Under the condition with this project, NOx value exceeds the standard in 7 road sections such as the north section of middle ring line (Etouwan-Sanjintan), Qinghua Road, Huangpu Road (Fazhan Avenue-middle ring line), Xianggang Road, Youyi Road, Nanniwan Viaduct and Hanxi Road 2. As for the exceeding-standard scope, except that at both sides of the north sections of middle ring line (Etouwan-Sanjintan) it is up to 25 m, it is less than 10 m in the other section. * In 2012, the exceeding-standard roads mainly include the north section of middle ring line (Etouwan-Sanjintan), north section of middle ring line (Sanjintan-Hanshi Highway), Jiefang Avenue and No.1 Jianghan Bridge. The forecasted results show that the exceeding-standard extent and scope at both sides of project roads are mitigated at larger extent when Class III emission standard of Euro Standard is executed. When Class III emission standard of Euro Standard is executed in 2012, NOx at both sides of project roads such as north section of middle ring line (Etouwan-Sanjintan) and north section of middle ring line (Sanjintan-Hanshi Highway) will exceed standard, and the exceeding-standard scope is less than 10 m. CO at both sides of Jiefang Avenue exceeds standard with an scope less than 5 m; NOx and Co exceed standards at both sides of No. I Jianghan Bridge with scope less than 5 m and 25 m respectively. If Class III emission standard of Euro Standard will not be executed in 2012, NOx at both sides of project roads such as north section of middle ring line (Etouwan-Sanjintan) and north section of middle ring line (Sanjintan-Hanshi Highway) will exceed standard, and the exceeding-standard scope is less than 25 m. NOx and Co exceed standards at both sides of Jiefang Avenue and No. I Jianghan Bridge with scope less than 10 m and 25 m respectively. 3.3.1.2 Analysis of Forecasted Results of Ambient Air Quality in Urban Area Accordinig to the forecasted results of ambienit air quality in ulbani area, after thle project is put into service, all the conicentrationis of CO in eacih yecri cani meet the requirements ol standard; the concenitrationi value of NO2 can be up to standard under 21  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environimental Management Plan the condition of executing new emission standard, and it is close to the average concentration level of Wuhan City at present; if the execution of new emission standard is not considered, it will exceed standard in three areas in 2012 and 7 areas in 2020, and the maximum exceeding-standard multiple is 0.26. Therefore, it shows that this project is of significance for improving the ambient air quality in Wuhan urban area after it is put into service. 3.3.1.3 Analysis of Forecasted Results of Ambient Air Quality at Interchange Crossing According to the forecasted results, the ambient air quality surrounding all the interchange crossings of this project will not exceed standard under annual average meteorological condition, but it will exceed standard under unfavorable meteorological condition. Furthermore, comparing with that of road, the exceeding-standard scope is farther and the exceeding-standard extent is more serious. * In 2007 and under the condition without this project, except for the Lizhi interchange crossing and Yezhi interchange crossing on middle ring line, the ambient air quality at all the forecasted crossings exceeds standard at different extent. Of which, the maximum exceeding-standard distance of NOx in the area surrounding Qiaokou Road Viaduct, Xunlimen Viaduct and Xianggang Road Viaduct exceeds 50 m, and the maximum exceeding-standard distance of CO is more than 25 m. Under the condition with this project, the ambient air quality of the areas surrounding the Qiaokou Road Viaduct, Xunlimen Viaduct and Xianggang Road Viaduct will be improved, but the concentrations of NOx and CO will still exceed standards. * When stricter emission standards of automobile tail gases are executed in 2012 and 2020, the ambient air quality surrounding the crossings will be improved at larger extent. When Class III emission standard of Euro Standard is executed in 2012, except that the concentration of CO at the crossings in Gusaoshu and Qiaokou Road on middle ring line will exceed standard, it will be up to standard at the other crossings. As for concentration of NOx, except that it will be up to standard at the two crossings of Lizhi interchange and Yezhi interchange on middle ring line, it will exceed standard at the other crossings. If Class III emission standard of Euro Standard is not executed in 2012, the concentration of CO at the Changqing interchange crossing on middle ring line. Xunlimen interchange crossing and Xianggang Road interchange crossing will also exceed standard. When Class IV emission standard of Euro Standard is executed in 2020, except that the concentration of NOx at Qiaokou Road crossing exceeds standard, it will not exceed standard at the other crossings. If Class Iv emission standard of Euro Standard will not be executed in 2020. except that the concentration of CO at Qiaokou Road crossing exceeds standard, it will not exceed standard at the other crossings; for the concentration of NOx. except that it will be up to standard at the two interchange crossinygs of Lizhi and Yezhi on middle ring line, it will exceed standard at the other 22  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction lProject Environmental Management Plan crossings. In a word, after this project is put into service, the ambient air quality at both sides of part of roads will be improved at certain extent due to the shunting ftnction of this project, especially under the condition of considering implementing strict emission standards of motor vehicle tail gases gradually. So the implementation of this project will improve the urban ambicnt air quality of WuLhan effectively. 3.3.2 Acoustic Environment Environmental sensitive receptors involved by reconstructing and expending road of this project will be beyond class I standard of GB 3096-93, of which, the Boai Oldness Mansions on the Qinghua Road will be beyond class 0 standard of GB 3096-93. With the change of vehicle flow rate of different roads, by the years 2012 and 2020, environmental noise of both sides of partial roads will further increase and that of other roads will gradually decrease. Compared with environmental noise before this project is implemented, the roads where the environmental noise will increase include: Gaoxiong Road- Sanyang Road section of Taibei Road 1, Youyi Road section, North Zhongshan Road, Qinyuan Road, Houhu Road, Hanxi Road 2, Maying Road, Yanhe Avenue, Lugouqiao Road, Huangpu Road, Jianshe Avenue, Qinghua Road, Meizi Road, Industrial Avenue, South Luoshi Road, Jinshui Road, Shipailing Road section, Jisan Road, Sixin Avenue, Original Han-Sha Highway, Hanxi Road, viaduct of Gutian Road 2, viaduct of Changqiong Road, Sanjintan Viaduct, viaduct of Qiaokou Road, Ramps of Second Yangtze River Highway Bridge, Nanniwan Viaduct, Qingling Viaduct, Lizhi Viaduct and Yezhi Viaduct. After this project is completed, because road conditions will be improved, traffic jar and horning are decreased, and the sections where environmental noise will decrease or maintain current conditions include Taibei Road- Gaoxiong Road section of Taibei Road 1, Xianggang Road, Zhongshan Avenue, Dazhi Road, Gusaoshu Viaduct, viaduct of Xianggang Road, under-passing subway in Xunlimen, Luocikou Viaduct and Zhalankou Viaduct. The road maintenance parts of this project, such as Jiefang Avenue, Hanyang Avenue, Zhongshan Avenue, Heping Avenue, Gutian Main Road, Wusheng Road, South Jiefang Road and Wangqing Highway, all have road-side noise over IV Standard of GB 3096-93. However, because of rebuilding of these roads, the surface conditions will be improved and whistling will be reduced, the present noise conditions along Jiefang Avenue, Hanyang Avenue, Zhongshan Avenue, Heping Avenue and Wusheng Road will decrease: because flow will increase after the project, the noise along Gutian Main Road, South Jiefang Road and Wangqing Highway will increase As for the 29 schools, hospitals and welfare houses and so on that are involved in the project. the noise impact on 23 of them after the project will be higher than the present value. and the noise on the other six units will be lower than the present value. Amonig 117 schools, hospitals, wellacre hiouses and sclbitive residenltial receptors, 73 23  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan of them, which has World Bank loans, have a lower noise impact than those without World Bank projects; but some of them have higher noise than the present value, and it can be concluded than the World Bank project will reduce the noise disturbance on these areas; 44 projects with World Bank loans have higher noise impact than those without World Bank loans. 3.3.3 Vibration Environment After this infrastructure project, the forecast day-time vibration value at the red lines of the involved main roads is between 42.1-72.0 dB, less than 40-67.8 dB at night and between 47.2-73.8 dB at the rush hours, all of values conform to the requirements on both side of roads stipulated in GB10070-88 Environmental Vibration Standardfor Urban Areas. Because the standard for the mixing area, commercial central area and industrial area is the same as that on both side of the roads, it can be deduced that regional environmental vibration outside the red line can conform to the standard for mixing area, commercial central area and industrial area; and after the completion of this project, the traffic vibration will have no obvious impact on the surrounding environment. The forecasted ambient vibration along the 19 main sensitive receptors in 2007 is between 57.9-69.3 dB in the day, between 51.1-65.4 dB at night, and between 59.0-71.1 dB at the rush hours; in 2012, the vibration value is between 52.7-69.0 dB in the day, between 53.7-65.2 dB at night and between 60.6-70.8 dB at the rush hours; and in 2020, the vibration value is between 55.4-73.9 dB in the day, between 51.5-69.9 dB at night and between 57.4-75.6 dB at the rush hours. All the vibration values in different forecasting periods conform to the standards for both sides of transport trunk roads, mixing areas, commercial central areas and industrial areas stipulated in GB 1 0070-88. After the completion of the maintenance engineering, except that the traffic vibration in daytime and at nighttime at the 2nd lane of Wangqing Highway exceeds the standard by 2.3 dB and 1.3 dB respectively, that in the red lines of the other roads can meet the requirements on both side of arterial lines according to GB10070-88, and that in the area outside the red line also conforms to the standard for mixing area, commercial area, and industrial area. According to the investigation on the site, this assessment includes two protected buildings of cultural relics: Wuchang Uprising Gate (V18) and Hankou Old Military Headquarters of New Fourth Army (V19). So there is a quantitative difference between the traffic vibration analogical result and the limit of vibration, i.e. the traftic vibration is far lower than the standard. Therefore, after the road is opened to traffic, there is no damage to the cultural relics. The forecasted traffic vibration value at the red line of the viaduct is between 58.5-75.4 dB in the day, betweeni 50.8-71.0 dB at night, and between 61.5-77.3 dB at rush hours, all of them conform to the standard on both side of the arterial roads according to GB10070-88 Environmental Vibration Standarcd for Urban Areas; the ambient vibration at rush hours, except that the value at Sanjintan Viaduct and 24  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan Qingling Viaduct exceeds the standard by 1.9-2.3 dB and 1.3-2.3 dB in 2012 and 2020 respectively, conforms to the standard. Through an investigation, it is known that the areas around Sanjintan Viaduct and Qingling Viaduct are open countries, which are far away from sensitive receptors such as residential quarters and schools; and after range attenuation, the ambient vibration on the sensitive receptors conforms to the requirements for mixing area, commercial area and industrial area. Therefore, the traffic vibration after the construction is not obvious to the environment. 3.3.4 Sunshine According to the calculation and assessment, the high-rise structures of this project will block some sunshine on the houses along the two sides of the roads, which will shorten 5-l0 hours of sunshine for the windows of the lower floors and all the windows on Winter Solstice in Gusaoshu Primary School, Gusaoshu Village, Houhu Primary School, Maoyi Kindergarten and Fazhan Village, so that of the lower houses along the road in Gusaoshu Primary School and Gushaoshu Village can not meet the requirements of standard. Therefore, these houses shall not be used as classrooms or bedrooms. 3.3.5 Water Environment After the completion of this project, only the initial rainwater will be polluted, and the main pollutant is SS, but its content is lower, which will not pollute the receiving water bodies. 3.3.6 Vegetation In the project, some street trees and green belts along the new roads, rebuilt roads and expanded roads in the downtown area will be destroyed, and some agriculture vegetation along the middle ring line and the radiative lines will also be destroyed due to the construction. 3.3.7 Community and Urban Life To build or expand the roads will separate some communities along the line, which affects the people's passing at the both sides. After the project, the transport will be improved, which will promote the development of the city's commerce. Some roads are being built or planed to build by some residential quarters, which will improve the dweller's living environment and their living standard. 3.3.8 Risk Analysis After the completion of this project, ',ehicles carrying dangerous materials on roads will probably cause leakage accident, which will have disadvantageous effect on the water, soil, vegetation and the living of the residents along the roads. However. strict traffic safety management and good post-accident measures will minimize these bad effects. 3.4 Impact on Public Transit Terminals and Head and End Bus Depots 3.4.1 Ambient Air 25  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan According to the forecasted results, concentrations of CO and NOx at each public transit terminal at rush hour in normal status conform to the hourly average concentration values of Class 11 standard in National Ambient Air Quality Standards. 3.4.2 Acoustic Environment Noise from public transit operation at each public transit terminal and head and end bus depot is lower than the current ambient noise, and the ambient noise will maintain the present value basically, but surpassing Standard I. The main cause is from the higher noises made by other factors around the public transit terminal and head and end bus depot. 3.4.3 Water Environment For wastewater from car washing, except that oil content exceeds discharging standard I, concentration of other water can conform to any discharging standard; however, domestic sewage exceeds discharging standard I, and BOD and COD exceeds the standard by 2.5 and 1.3 times respectively; it generally conforms to discharging standard II, and comes up to discharging standard III. Domestic sewage in Wuhan is directly discharged at present, however, domestic sewage at the public transit terminals and head and end bus depots along the road of this project takes a very small proportion of the domestic sewage in these areas, so the sewage for this factor will generally bring no change to the present drain. Furthermore, by the year 2005, 7 urban sewage treatment plants will be built at Luobuzui, Huangjiahu, Sanjintan, Miaoshan, Nantaizihu, Hanxi and Big Huanjia Village in Wuhan gradually. Sewage made by the project at each public transit terminal and head and end bus depot will enter into the urban sewage to the sewage plants for treatment. It is suggested that the sewage from the public transit terminals and head and end bus depots shall be directly discharged into the urban drains, which comes to a further centralized treatment in the comprehensive sewage plants after the plants are built. 3.4.4 Solid Wastes Solid wastes from the bus stops are mainly refuses discarded by the passengers. After they are collected and treated by the urban environmental organs, it will not cause bad impact on urban environment. 3.5 Impact of Demolition and Resettlement For the construction of this project, it is unavoidable that there are some houses of some people or units to be demolished or removed. However, according to the relevant land acquisition and demolition laws, regulations and rules of the state, the province and the city, these people or units shall be compensated rationally; and from the past removing and resettling experience, the houses of these people or units shall be as good as or even better than the present houses 26  Wuhan Urban Transport Construction Project Environmenital Management Plan 4. ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION MEASURES Construction of this project will execute Malnagement Regulations on Environmental Protection for Construction Projects promulgated by the State Council's Decree No. 253 (1998), so that devices for environment protection and the main construction can be designed, constructed and operated at the same time. To guard against the adverse impact of the project, the following detailed actions shall be taken in each stage of the implementation and operation. X In the period of choosing works and designing, various potential impact factors shall be analyzed, and the best measures shall be designed to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. A During the construction phase, environmental impact mitigation measure shall be taken for the involved units or people, for example, to set acoustic barrier, and double-layered sound insulated window, so as to reduce the noise impact on the environmental sensitive receptors. AX During the operation phase, it is necessary to carry out long-term action plan to improve the urban environmental quality, such as traffic control, limits of downtown traffic, vehicle end gas control strategy and rational allocation of the city's layout. 4.1 Project Design Phase 4.1.1 Noise Route selection, site selection and plane arrangement for road and public transit bus depots AS Route selection and site selection for new roads, rebuilt roads and expended roads shall move around the sensitive receptors as possible as it can be, and unless absolute needs, viaduct will not be built. A Large-replacement expansion joints, manual expansion devices, heavy-duty pot rubber bearings and spherical cap rubber bearings shall be used for joints between prefabricated slabs of the viaduct and the piers, so that the noise of traffic impacting can be reduced. AR The roads are designed to have 3 or 4 lanes so that to separate the motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and the footways effectively, furthermore, the center isolated area and bicycle lane can abate the noise to some extent. A Try best to use the green belt along the center and both sides of the road to abate traffic noise Sound barrier design As described in the EIA Repoit. at those elevated roads (viaduct) badly effected by the noise, there shall be set up sound barrier. At the hiitial designillg period of thle project, the sound barrier shall be studied and desigined in details. 27  Wuhan UJrban Transport Construction Project Environmental Management Plan The sound barrier shall be made of transparent materials to reduce visual and sunshine disturbance after the installation. However, it shall be cleaned periodically to keep it clean. The location and quantities of sound barriers proposed to set up and the protective sensitive objectives are shown in Table 4.1-1. Table 4.1-1 Schedule of Proposed Sound Barriers Elevated road Protective sensitive Lengthl of sound Quantities of sound section receptors barrier barrier Yunhe Residential Nanniwan elevated Area, Miaoyi 300 m 1,200 m bridge Kindergarten, Fazhan Village Design for protection of noise-receiving spots The first row of buildings along the new road is not proper to be sued as classrooms, wards of hospitals or kindergartens, because these place have high requirements for acoustic environment. However, it can be used as commercial buildings or multi-storied parking lots. Wuhan General Plan has included these measures, and Wuhan Planning Bureau will supervise the implementation. The first-row buildings along the road badly affected by noise and the noise-sensitive buildings near viaducts shall be equipped with double-layer glass windows for quite indoor activities. In order to minimize the potential noise impacts and develop practical noise mitigation measures in light of the actual conditions of Wuhan City, the joint investigation team of representatives from the Project Construction Office, EA unit and the design institute has conducted on-site survey to the sensitive receptors along the project roads and discussed in detailed the preliminary noise mitigation options proposed in the EA Report. All the parties have reached agreement on noise mitigation measures. Since it is very hot in summer in Wuhan and the highest temperature is up to 41.3
