It i s currently proposed that the loan application be presentedto the Bank Board for approval inJune 2004. This report provides a summary of the Environmental Assessment Report - Main Report and Appendices, for the HUDP. The EIA Centre of Hunan Provincial Institute of Environmental Protection Science & Design (HEPRI) was responsible for compilation of the consolidated EIA report of HUDP with the assistance of the DRA Consultant (Mott MacDonald). HEPRI and the EIA Research Instituteof Hunan University respectively preparedthe component EIA reports. S1 Environmental Context Due to its geographical location, China i s endowed with weather events of strong spatial and seasonal variations. The annual precipitation amount ranges from more than 2000 mm in Southeast to less than 200 mm in Northwest. Infact, the Great Wall, the frontier between nomadic and agriculture societies, can be viewed as a divide between regions with and without sufficient water resources for agriculture planting. In majority of China, 60% - 80% precipitation occurs during the summer season. The highly concentrated precipitation events naturally lead to two frequent water problems: either too much water (flooding) or too little water (drought). Water resources are relatively abundant in Hunan Province, as compared to many parts of China, but there is still a problem with insufficient water resources for assimilation of wastes, and overall poor water quality. The water quality of the Xiangjiang River has been deteriorating in recent years, and has been recently been very poor due to extreme low-flows during the winter of 2003-2004. S2 Hunan Province From 1996 to 2000, GDP, per capita GDP and financial revenue annually increased by 9.7% and 9% and 9.3% respectively, and the proportion of urban population grew by 18.25%. Environmental protection i s being developed in a coordinated way with the society and economy. The environmental quality is evolving from the overall deterioration and partial improvement experiencedfive years ago, to basic control of the deterioration, and some cities and areas are much improved. The environmental protection has made positive contributions to the continual, rapid and healthy development of the economy in HunanProvince. Although investment input in the ninth five-year plan on environmental protection accounted for 0.75% of GDP (0.35% higher than that of the eighth five-year plan), Hunan i s still faced with such environmental protection challenges as: b Serious urban air pollution and acid rainpollution; b Water pollution, particularly in the sections of river passing through cities, which imposed threaten to the safety of drinking water sources for some urban areas; b Increasedurban garbage and solid waste pollution, disturbance of noise to residents; b Ecological deterioration; and b Macro-economic pressure on environmental protection. ConsolidatedEnvironmental Appraisal Summary 1 DRAFl /04/BiFebruary 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project Hunan Provincial Development and Planning Commission Inthe period of the Tenth Five-year Plan, the economy in Hunan is planned for fast growth at average annual growth rate o f 9%. The economy of Hunan Province will enter into an accelerated industrialisation, agricultural industrialisation and urbanisation process. Energy demands will rise continually. In the near future, the structural pollution due to industrial economy, which was based on resource exploration, cannot be changed fundamentally in a short period. According to the spirit of Outline of the Tenth Five-year Plan for Development o f Economy and Society in Hunan, Hunan Development Planning Commission and Hunan Environmental Protection Bureau worked out the Tenth Five-year Plan for Environmental Protection in Hunan, which included the provincialenvironmental objectives as below: e B y 2005, a sound environmental protection institution and management system led by government, promoted by market, participated by public within the legal system will be further improved. e Environmental pollution will be mitigated `year by year' and ecological conservation and improvement will make significant achievement. e Environment Quality in general will be stabilised with some improvement. Environment quality in the major cities and regions will be improved. S2.1 HUDP Project Goals and Objectives Some of the key issues affecting the development of the CZT Region include: frequent flooding of the Xiangjiang River; high levels of pollution in the Xiangjiang River, with the domestic pollution from Changsha requiringpriority attention; air pollution due to the use of high sulphur coal; under-utilisation o f Zhuzhou's potential as a transport hub; and under-utilisation of the potential of the riverfront and historical areas on the banks of Xiangjiang fiver for improved liveability.. The objectives of HUDP (including the components related to energy, transportation, flood control, tourism, urban wastewater treatment and ecological improvement) are consistent with and foster the environmental objectives of the Tenth Five-year Plan. The HUDP will accrue benefits to the improvement o f urban environment quality, water quality in Xiangjiang River, landscape ecology, the reduction of air pollution, the enhancement of flood control and the promotion of tourism development. It i s a very important move in implementing CZT regional plan. The implementation of HUDP will vigorousIy raise the levels of central wastewater treatment rates and; treating and reducing wastewater pollutant loads will help realize the control objectives of total pollutant discharge amounts; effectively controlling the environmental pollution tendency and meeting the standard o f surface water during the period of the Tenth Five-year Plan. The appearances, styles and grades of the project cities can be much upgraded through environmental rehabilitation and water environment quality improvement, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development o f the province in the future. S2.2 HUDP EA Production The EIA Centre of Hunan Provincial Institute of Environmental Protection Science & Design (HEPRI) was responsible for compilation o f the consolidated EIA report o f HUDP. HEPRI and the EL4Research Institute of Hunan University prepared the component EIA reports. Founded in 1970s, HEPRIi s one of the earliest provincial-level research institutes in China. . The institute has passed the examination of the National Environmental Protection Bureau, and it holds a Grade 1 EIA Certificate (National Environmental Assessment Certificate Grade 1, NO. 2702). HEPRI have ConsolidatedEnvironmental Appraisal Summery 2 DRAm /04/B/Februdry 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission performed a wide variety of environmental studies in the CZT region, including regional acid rain studies, water quality studies of the Xiangjiang River and tributaries, and non-point source pollution and erosion control. S2.3 Project Cities Changsha The Changsha municipality is situated in the northeast part of Hunan Province. It i s located in the transit area between the river valley plain of the lower reachesof the Xiangjiang River, with Dongting Lake to its north and HengshanMountain in the south. The Xiangjiang River divides the city into the east and west sections. The Changshamunicipality covers an area of 11,800 km2,of which 554 km'is the urban area. Changsha i s the capital of Hunan Province. It is rich in tourism, mineral and biological resources, and i t i s also the industrial, agricultural, and commercial base of Hunan Province. In 2000, the GDP of the city was RMB 65.641 Billion. The annual average growth rate of GDP i s over 11%. The total production value of industry and agriculture was RMB 73.727 billion. The FSR i s reported a total population of 5.83 million in 2000 and the urbanpopulation was 1.86 million. Xiangtan The Xiangtan Municipality i s located in the eastem part of Hunan Province, in the middle and lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River with Changsha upstreamand Zhuzhou downstream. I t covers an area of 5,015km2 of which the urban area covers an area of about 279km2, of which 61km2are built up areas. The city had a total population of 2.8M at the end of year 2000 and the population within the urban area was 671,300. I t i s within the CZT Economic Zone of Hunan Province. The length of the Xiangjiang River within Xiangtan is 42km in lengthof which 4.7km i s within the urban area. The width of the Municipality from west to east i s about 18Okm and the length from north to south is about 81 km. It i s bounded to the north by three counties: Ningxiang, Wangcheng and Changsha, to the east are Zhuzhou urban district and Zhuzhou County, to the south are Hengdong, Hengshan and Shuangfeng counties and to the west i s Loudi and Lianyuan cities. Mountains and hills surround the city. The middle area is comparatively flat. The general elevation is between 40 and 70 meters. The Xiangjiang River crosses the Xiangtan urban district in an "S" shape from south to north. The Xiangtan Municipality is rich in natural resources particularly in minerals, hydropower and tourism. I t i s an important industrial city and at the same time it has also topped the agricultural production and average living standard in the HunanProvince. The FSR reports that up to the end of 2000, the GDP of the city was 22.47 billion RMB, up by 9.44% compared with the previous year. The total production value o f agriculture, forestry and fishery was 5.26 billion RMB, up by 1.28% compared with the year before. The total industry production value was 25.86 billion RMB, up by 12.57%compared with the year before. Zhaoshan Zhaoshan scenic area is located in the northeast of Xiangtan municipality. It i s the hub joining the three cities and the important junction o f the Xiangjiang ecological economy belt. It covers an area of 17 km2,of which Zhaoshan hill covers 2.24 km2,and Yantian Lake covers 1.98 km2.To the north i s Muyun Town of Changsha, to the east i s Baima Town of Zhuzhou, to the south i s Hetang Village, and to the west i s the Xiangjiang River. Zhaoshan area boasts abundant natural resources, particularly biological and tourism resources. The landform of the Zhaoshan area is steeply sloping from the northeast to the southwest. The southwest ConsolidatedEnvironmental Appraisal Summary 3 DRAFT lO4IBFebruary 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission o f the area i s river valley plain, of which the lowest point i s in Wujiagang, 29.6 m above sea level. The southwest plain is generally flat with an elevation lower than 50 m. The hilly area in the northeast belongs to the southeast branch o f the Hengshan Mountain range. The general elevation is between 150-300 m, in which Zhaoshan i s approximately 173 m above sea level Zhuzhou The Zhuzhou municipality is located i n the eastern part o f Hunan Province and the middle and lower reaches of Xiangjiang River. It covers an area of 11,272 km2,of which 542km'are urban. The urban areajoins Zhuzhou County in the southeast, Xiangtan in the west, Changsha County in the north. The Xiangjiang River passes through from south to north and divides the city into east and west sections. This urban area comprises the old town on the east side of the river, and anewer area on the west side o f the river designated for development. The total population was 3.72M in 2000, with an urban population o f 748,500. The general landform i s higher inthe southeast and lower in the northwest. It is composed of varying topography. The width of the municipality from the east to west i s 88.75km and the length from south to north i s 219.25km. The proposed scenic road i s situated in Zhuzhou urban area and Zhuzhou County. The general elevation of the project area i s 39 to 42m. Zhuzhou is an industrial city well known for non-ferrous metal metallurgy and processing, machinery, chemistry and building materials. I t i s also rich in minerals, hydropower and forestry resources. Agriculture output is high in grain, fruits, and animal husbandry. The GDP in 2000 was 29.14 Billion RMB Yuan, with 8.83M Yuan of the city. The total production value of industry and agriculture was 54.93 Billion RMB Yuan. The economic strength of Zhuzhou has been enhanced significantly since the early 1980s. S3 The Needfor the Project The overall need for HUDP i s fully described for each HUDP project component in Chapter 2 of the fullEA. The HUDP project benefits by component project are fully described inChapter 5 of the EA. S3.1 Necessity Of PCl The main flood control objective of the PC1 component was to increase the level of flood protection and to maximise the area for urban development, making full use of the existing flood-control facilities, while increasing landscape potential. The flood protection benefits are based on estimated land and property value increments. Due to the region's geographical superiority, many studies on the economic integration o f CZT region have been performed. The "Xiangjiang Ecological and Economic Belt" and the "Xiangjiang Scenic Belt" studies by national and international experts both proposed CZT integration. In April o f 2001, "the Xiangjiang River Ecological Economic Belt" was listed in The Tenth Five-Year Plan for CZT Economic Integration in Hunan. Follow by this strategic decision, additional conceptual design, and master plan for Xiangjiang Ecology and Economic belt are development that proposes to use the Xiangjiang as a connecting link, to develop the region as a integrated corridor that combines the function for flood control, ecological green landscape, tourist and scenery. The proposed corridor component serves the purpose o f improved flood control and recreational scenic road i s the initiative inseparable part of the ecological and economic belt. The corridor is o f significant and will play extraordinary role in urbanisation, flood control and disaster alleviation, ecological improvement, transportation improvement. I t fits to Hunan's national economic and development plan. ConsolidatedEnvironmenlalAppraisal Summary 4 DRAFT l04lBFebruary 2004  HunanUrban MottMacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission The objectives of the PCl Xiandiang River Scenic Roads are: e Building new (or strengthening and raising existing) embankment along the Xiangjiang River and building roads whose primary purpose will be to serve recreational and tourist traffic, motorised and non-motorised. e Deciding on design parameters including project configuration by section, scale (number of lanes), functionality (number of lanes dedicated to motorised, non- motorised, public transit and/or private vehicular traffic), staging, and timing (of construction and completion). S3.2 Necessity Of PC2 The main reasons for the construction of PC2 are: Further improvement of the catchment, drainage and discharge system to pave the way for betterment of life quality and sustainabledevelopment; e Increasethe rate of the wastewater treatment to protect the water quality of Liuyang and Xiangjiang Rivers. Changsha is one of the key environmental protection cities in China. In recent years, for rapid development of industry and increase of population, the amount of wastewater increased to about 850,000 m3/d. At present, the total treatment capacity of No.1 and No.2 Municipal WWTP is only 320,000 m3/d.This i s far short of the requirement of `the Policy of Urban Wastewater Treatment and Prevention and Control of Pollution' in which `the wastewater treatment rate in key cities should be no less than 70%. A large amount of untreated wastewaters are directly discharged into Xiangjiang River and Liuyang Rivers, and the river water i s severely polluted. After this project, the wastewater treatment rate in Changsha will reach 51.8%, which will greatly reduce the wastewater impact upon Liuyang River, and downstream on Xiangjiang River. S3.3 Necessity Of PC3 ProjectMeets the State and Provincial Policies PC3 i s a project of processing raw coal and studying, developing, producing and popularising the cleaner coal. I t meets the State energy structure policies, and i s one of the key projects defined in `the Implementation Plan of Prevention and Control of Acid Rain and SO2 of HunanProvince. Caters ToAtmospheric Quality ImprovementNeeds Hunan has abundant coal resources. The annual production of raw coal i s 22,000,000 tons, of which 50% are of high sulphur and ash content. Buming of these sulphur coal has resulted in heavy pollution of the atmospheric environment and the CZT Area is the centre of central China acid-rain zone. It ranked number one in China in the 1990s with an acid-rain frequency of over 95%; and according to the monitoring statistics in 2000, the acid-rain frequency was 48.7 - 62.35% and the annual pH average value is 4.77 - 4.91. Serves its Own Needs The HZCCC is one of the key enterprises in coal cleaning in China, with a production capacity of 2,400,000 t/a. However, the actual annual production i s only about 400,000 tons, with most of its ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisalSummary 5 DRAFT /04iB/Februaq 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincialDevelopment andPlanningCommission capacity left unused. Furthermore, after having been running for over 40 years, some of the equipment i s nearly runningout of service life and need upgrading. Cleaner coal techniques are encouraged by the State Energy Industry Policies and this brings an opportunity to the HZCCC. For after years of study on the cleaner coal techniques and exploitation o f markets, the HZCCC has been specialised in popularisation and industrialisation of coal cleaning techniques. Construction o f this project will increase the competitive power o f the enterprise and help boost provincial development. S3.4 Necessity Of PC4 The logistic service in Hunan is now at it initial stage with small sized service, under-developed when compared to larger potential demand. The Xianing Harbor in Changsha (now under construction) i s the only large-sized one providing only waterways transportation service. Although there are also many other small-scale logistic service providers in this region, they provide single way (highway transportation) due to the limitation of geographical locations and financing. The logistic service in the CZT Area is developing in a disorderly and redundant way. There i s an urgent need to build an integrated modem logistic centre. The CZT area has the most centralised and complete industries in Hunan. With opening-up and reform policy, the export-oriented economy i s being developed rapidly. At the end of the 20th century, the provincial government put forward the strategic idea of an integrated CZT economy, which aims at developing the CZT area into an integrated ecological, modern urban cluster and a concentration o f high and new technological industries, to increase its international competitive power. In the past, although the three cities are geographically close to each other, they made plans for their own development and there was a lack of mutual communication among cities, which led to redundant investment and construction. For this reason, the provincial government worked out the CZT Plan o f Integrated Industry in 2002, in which the PC4 came into being for its advantaged geographical and traffic location. The construction of PC4, by bringing the processes of production, circulation and sale together, will facilitate the cooperative development of regional economy and sharing o f resources, and will be of great importance in improved economic integration. I t is crucial to build a large-scale, normative and highly modernised logistic centre according to the present situation inthe CZT Area. S3.5 Necessity Of PC6 Mount Zhaoshan i s well known as one of the Eight Most Beautiful Sceneries in Hunan for its abundant cultural relic and elegant landscape. However, for historic reasons, some sight spots have been artificially destroyed or aged naturally. Therefore, construction o f this project will repair the natural and cultural landscape, protect the eco-environment and elevate the influence o f traditional Hunan culture. The construction o f this project is one of the content of `Master Plan of the Xiangjiang Ecological & Economic Belt'. With the construction of PC1 corridor component, the beautiful scenery, the traditional Huxiang cultural and the regional history could be well incorporated in the Xiangjiang ecologic and economic belt. The Zhaoshan scenic area will also add on the landscaping o f PC1 corridor. Hence, the construction of PC6 is of great importance and has a logical basis.

S5 Overview of HUDP Component Components The Xiangjiang Ecological and Economic Belt (EEB) consists of CZT sections of Xiangjiang River and its river shore, about 649 square km in total. It starts at Kongzhou Island in the south to Yueliangdao in the north, and i s planned for protecting and enhancing the regional eco-environment, optimising the landscape and scenery as well as developing the economy. Via analyses of regional status, conditions, characteristics and situation, the function of the EEB can be classified as that o f an ecological green valley, o f a scenic necklace and o f an economic corridor. A major focus of the HUDPfrom the onset was the economic integration of the three CZT cities, and sustainable and integrated economic and environmental planning. Several planning studies for the CZT region have stressed the importance of improved environmental and other infrastructure in meeting the provincial sustainable development goals including the following: 0 China City Development Strategies Final Report: Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan, Chreod, 2002. 0 International Consultation on Concept Plan for Ecology & Economic Belt in Xiangjiang River, LOBERMEYER PLANEN+BERATEN, 2001. Consolidated Environmental Appraisal Summary 7 DRAFT /04/B/February 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald DevelopmentProject HunanProvincial Development and PlanningCommission 0 Master Plan on Xiangjiang River Ecology & Economic Belt Development, China Urban Planning Design Institute, 2002. Components o f the proposed project were determined based on discussions between Hunan Province and a number o f Bank missions during 2002. Hunan Province has since confirmed these components after further discussions with the three municipalities, with various provincial agencies, and with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). The World Bank and Hunan Province worked closely during 2001-2002 to identify an array of potential project components, and to develop a list of ready component based on a variety of criteria, including readiness to proceed. The six candidate components emerged from this process, although PC5 subsequently was funded by local funds inXiangtan. During this time, preliminary environmental review o f the proposed HUDPprojects indicated that the impacts were potentially widespread and far-reaching, and that resettlement was significant. As such, the HUDP was classified as a Category A project for World Bank EA preparation. The HUDPproposed the following priority investments: PC1 - The Corridor Component, to improve flood control measures and develop recreational (scenic) roads odalong the embankment, in four selected sections of the three municipalities. PC2 - The Changsha Wastewater Component, to increase the percentage o f sewage treated in the urban areas of the municipality, and to develop the Changsha Municipal Drainage Company (CMDC) into an autonomous public utility operating on commercial principles. PC3 - The Zhuzhou Clean Coal Component, to reduce air pollution through the production and sale of low sulphur coal and ensuring its use. PC4 - The CZT Logistics Centre Component, to better utilise Zhuzhou's locational advantages as a major transport hub and to create employment opportunities. PC5 - Xiangtan No. 4 Bridge Component, to provide for a continued smooth flow o f traffic across the Xiangjiang River in Xiangtan in the medium term. (The Xiangtan No.4 Bridge Component has been removed from the Project) PC6 - Zhaoshan Scenic Area Component, to conserve and improve the surroundings of eight old temples and historic relics, old trees and plantations, and supporting infrastructure for visitors. Institutional development and capacity building will complement the investment components through the provision of technical assistance. Capacity building and training for the CZT Economic Integration Office is also an important project component. The general locations of the project components are shown in Figure S.l, while Figure S.2 provides a more detailed map of the CZT project area showing the proposed HUDPcomponents. The five components of the proposed CZT Urban Development Project are located in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan cities, which are at the middle and lower reaches o f Xiangjiang River. The layout of the three cites resembles a triangle with Xiangjiang River connecting the cities. The distance between the three cities i s within 50km. The region is an outstanding urban cluster in central China. With economic globalisation, a tentative plan for economic integration of Chang-Zhu-Tan was proposed and was included as one of the plans in China's tenth five-year development program. To foster CZT integration, a department was set up by Hunan Provincial Government that i s responsible for the implementation of actions related to CZT economic integration. "A Chang-Zhu- Consolidated Environmental Appraisal Summary 8 DRAFT /04/B/Februaiy 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Developmentand PlanningCommission Tan Urban Cluster Regional Plan" was prepared, which include the core contexts o f conserving the region's ecology, combating with environmental pollution, consummating the distribution of cities and towns, expanding spaces of urban area, grouping of industry, optimizing transportation system, establishing logistic platform for material exchange and improving energy structure, etc. The proposed CZT HUDP project includes components relating to energy, transportation, flood control, tourism, urban wastewater treatment and ecological improvement. It will result in improvement o f urban environment quality, water quality in Xiangjiang River, landscape ecology, the reduction o f air pollution, the enhancement of flood control and the promotion of tourism development. The HUDP i s an integral strategy in implementing the CZT regional plan. S5.1 PCl Corridor Component The proposed project aims to greatly strengthen the flood prevention capability o f the CZT ecological corridor, and to improve the present eco-environment, to develop the integrated economy and facilitate the development of tourism, and ecologically improve the regional economy and people's life quality. The current flood control system differs greatly between urban and rural areas in the ecological corridor. The flood-control infrastructure i s still weak, even absent, in the rural areas along the Xiangjiang River.

Besides the main flood embankment and scenic road facilities, there are a variety of subprojects along the corridor involving drainage channel improvements, sluices, pumping stations, roadway accesses, etc. S5.2 PC2 Changsha Wastewater Component The project area for the HUDP wastewater component is limited to the Changshanyuan catchment area of Changsha, which forms one o f seven drainage zones in the He Dong (East Bank) area of the Changsha urban area. The area of the Changshanyuan drainage zone is about 18 km2out o f the total planned urban area of the city in 2020 o f 367 km'. The Changshanyuan drainage zone i s bounded in the north and north-east b y the Liuyang River (a tributary of the Xiangjiang), in the south-east by the Guitang River, in the south by Shiba Road and in the west by Chezhan Road. It is relatively planar with a slight gradient falling from south to north and ground level varying between 34.00 m and 31.00 m above datum. The area i s protected by the Changshanyuan flood embankment, which has a crest level o f 38.00 m above datum. The Jingguang (main) railway runs on a northhouth axis towards the western side of the zone. The need for a comprehensive primary collection network and centralised wastewater treatment facility for this area of Changsha city i s apparent to meet the objectives of the City Master Plan as well as national and CMG's water quality objectives. To meet the needs of Changshanyuan area wastewater collection, treatment and disposal, the procurement of two principal sub-components i s proposed: A centralised WWTP with treated effluent disposal to the Liuyang River; 0 Completion of the primary collection system in the service area and infrastructure for transfer of intercepted flow to the WWTP and disposal o f excess stormwater. The W T P was originally to be located in the north of the Changshanyuan service area but the site was determined to be unsuitable and an alternative site extending to 11 hectares has been designated outside the service area on the east bank of the Liuyang river in an area known as Xilong Village. The proposed WWTP will be designed to provide secondary treatment meeting Class 1 effluent standards ConsolidatedEnvironmental Appraisal Summary 11 DRAFT /04/BFebrudry 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and PlanningCommission to GB18918 -2002. The capacity is set at 120,000 m3/d designed to cater for flows from the Changshanyuancatchment up to 2010. Provision will be made for extension of the WWTP to a total capacity of 320,000 m3/din the second phasefrom 2010 to 2020. The proposed processwill include preliminary treatment (coarse and fine screeningand grit removal), extended aeration using the process known as 'AZO'followed by disinfection (chlorination) although the need for disinfection has yet to be fully determined. Discharge will be to the Liuyang River adjacent to the WWTP. Sludge treatment will include thickening, anaerobic digestion, dewatering and disposal of stabilised sludge to landfill. Normal ancillary buildings in accordance with CJJ31-89 are proposed for the WWTP and site works including internal access roads and landscaping will complete the scope of works. The proposedmain sub-componentsof the wastewater collection network are summarisedas follows: 0 Approximately 36.3 kmof combined sewer pipes and culverts ranging in size from 1,000" pipelines to twin 8.0 m wide x 2.9 mdeep box culverts to complete the primary wastewater collection network in the Changshanyuancatchment area; 0 Three combined sewer overflows (CSOs) to allow excess flow during heavy rainstorms to be separated from the flow to treatment stream; 0 Three storm water pumping stations to lift excess stormwater overflowing from the CSOs to discharge into the Liuyang river with peak capacitiesas follows: Central Area PS 46.0 m3/swith a lift of 7.6 m Dongtundu PS 12.0m3/swith a lift of 7.0m o Tingzigan PS 13.6 m3/swith a lift of 7.0 m 0 Approximately 5.3 kmof gravity flow sewers ranging in size from 800" to 1,800mm diameter to transfer intercepted wastewater from the CSOs to a transfer pumping station; 0 A transfer pumping station of unspecified capacity and head to transfer intercepted flow to treatment to the WWTP. (The pumping station may be adjacent to or part of the Central Area stormwater pumping station.) 0 A pumping mainof 1,800" diameter, 1,600m long to transfer the intercepted wastewater flow from the transfer pumping station to the WWTP wjth a twin 1,200 mmdiameter river crossing 450m long. S5.3 PC3 Zhuzhou Clean Coal Component PC3 entails the construction of a series of coal water mixture and briquette manufacturing plants and the renovation of a coal washing plant in Zhuzhou to provide clean coal products to replace raw coal and fuel oil. It will help reduce sulphur dioxide emissions in the CZT region. It i s intended to serve as a pilot for other potential projects in the region in the future. The monitoring statistics shows that the CZT atmospheric environment is severely polluted by the burning of coal, an acid-rain belt takes its shape from Yueyang City southward to Chenzhou City, the most polluted areas in the whole country by acid rain. Therefore, the emerging CZT needs for cleaner energy and air quality drive the necessity of construction of this project. As an extension work, this component i s to be constructed in the Shanmutang Industrial District of Zhuzhou City, where the project client (Hurzaiz Zhuxi Clean Coal Co Lfd HZCCC) i s located. The proposedcomponent includes following systerdworkshops: ConsolidatedEnvironmental Appraisal Summary 12 DRAFT /04/BIFebrualy 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission 0 Coal preparation system: 1,000,000 t/a 0 Coal water mixture workshop (CWM) 500,000 t/a (phase 1250,000t/a) 0 Coal briquette (CB) workshop 500,000 t/a (phase 1250,000 t/a) According to the signed purchaseagreement, there i s a demonstrated demand of over 4,440,000 tons per year of cleaner coal. Raw coal i s the main production material of the HZCCC. The designed production capacity i s 1,800,000 tons per year of coal cleaning, and in 1991 was identified for production of 2,400,000 tons by the Coal ResourceMinistry. The combined techniques of jigging and flotation are introduced to produce washed coal and flotation coal. Most of the current production capacity i s unused.Furthermore, the devices have aged after running for 40 years. The HZCCC has to find new ways for development. The exhaust gases mainly come from loading and unloading of raw coal, crusher, and coal cleaning process. The gases consist mainly of coal dust. HZCCC have installed respective control facilities for dust sources, including ventilators and dust catchers, to meet the emission standards. But, due to improper maintenance and long history, the effect of the dust catchers of the coal-unloading pit and No.2 workshop has degradedto a great extent. A WWTP with a treatment capacity of 360 cubic meters per day has been in operation since 1991 and has operated satisfactorily. Sedimentation and filtration techniques are used and the existing treatment capacity is able to meet the proposed production. The coal refuse produced in the production process i s transported out and piled up in the coal refuse yard. S5.4 PC4, CZT Logistics Centre Component The implementation agency of the CZT Logistics Centre Component i s the Zhuzhou Yujiaping Railway Transportation Co. Ltd. This company i s a financially independent enterprise. The proposed CZT modern logistic centre is based in existing Yujiaping railway yard of Hunan Zhuzhou Chemical Industry Group Co. Ltd in the north of Zhuzhou City. The proposed project component will provide a wide range of services to local exporters and importers to facilitate their logistics management, including transportation, storage, loading, packing, distribution, and customs processing. The project component will be constructedin phases. The first phase mainly involves the construction of modem logistic service, including functional blocks as multi-transport and containers block, modern storageblock, distribution service block, office and serviceblock, auxiliary production block, and power block. The Project will have bulk goods capacity of 1million tons, including 560,000 tons by railway, 440,000 tons by roads (including 132,000 tons distribution and delivery), and the capacity for international containers is 30,000 standardboxes. With China's accession to WTO, urban strategic position of CTZ Area increasing. Although the CZT Area is the most economic developed region in Hunan Province with GDP taking up to about 1/3 of the province and completed industrial sectors, convenient railway, highway, expressway and navigation conditions, there is no foreign trade port. The imports and exports of goods still rely on other cities, like Shanghai and Guangzhou, without tax-protection service. There i s no larger-sized modern physical distribution centre which combines highway, railway and waterway together to provide integrated network logistic services in CZT Area. This indicates an urgent need to build an integrated logistic centre and to set up a foreign trade port and a tax-protection zone. This will make the advantageof communication more flexible and practical, push the CZT urbanisation process well ConsolidatedEnvironmental Appraisal Summary 13 DRAFT /04/BFebruary 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project Hunan ProvincialDevelopment and PlanningCommission ahead, and speed up the integrated development of CZT area, of nearby provinces and even the national economy. This component i s to be located at Yujiapin, Shifeng District, and Zhuzhou City. As a centre, it is designed to provide modern logistic services to CZT urban cluster. The centre will include the following zones: 0 Bulk cargo and container zone 0 Modern Storage Zone (including common warehouse, customs supervision warehouse) covering an area o f 20,000 m2. 0 Distribution service zone (including an automatic warehouse) 0 Office zone (including a e-commercial information centre) 0 Production auxiliary zone e Powerzone S5.5 PC 6, Zhaoshan Scenic Area Component Zhaoshan i s a famous, old-line mountain inHunan Province, which i s located at the town of Yijiawan, 20km north o f Xiangtan. It's an important infill among the three cities in both waterway and road transportation. The scenic area is a key component of the "General Plan of Development o f Xiangjiang Ecological Economic Corridor." For its situation advantages and scenic resources, the construction of this project has far-reaching significance in developing the integrated economy, and protecting and improving the natural ecological environment as well. The Zhaoshan Tourist and Trade Development Bureau (ZTTDB) are responsible for the Zhaoshan road section and flooding control component (as a part of Xiangtan section of PC1) and Zhaoshan Scenic Area Component (PC6). The PC6 i s the focus o f social and physical cultural heritage, tourism, education, recreation, landscape, and ecological interests for the three Cities of Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan. The Zhaoshan Scenic Area Project i s the focus o f social and physical cultural heritage, tourism, education, recreation, landscape, and ecology interests for the three Cities of Changsha, Zhuzhou, and Xiangtan. The project i s located beside the Xiangjiang River that i s some 350 -400 meters across and flows calmly for most o f the year offering opportunities for fishing, water based activities and sport. The Zhaoshan Mountain i s climbed with 800 steps and is capped by the Buddhist Monastery begun in the Tang Dynasty 1200 years ago which gives dramatic views over the river and the surrounding countryside. The mountainous parkland and historic sites give opportunities for culture and recreation ail the year round, and will provide rural and ecological interests to the many visitors from the surrounding urban areas. To the South and outside the project lies the village o f Hetang, full o f attractive townscape and itself worthy of good control over the style and materials o f any new construction, demanded as a result o f the boost to the local economy that the increased numbers of future visitors will bring. Further to the South and part of the areas regeneration i s a proposed lake beside the Xiangjiang River that will consolidate existing smaller water areas used for fish farming. To the West of the river and in the surrounding countryside are places or houses associated with famous poets, writers, artists and politicians, such as Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Peng Dehuai and Qi Baishi etc. The area i s steeped in history the archived documentation for which has been destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. Increased research than that anticipated in the project will be required if the ConsolidatedEnvironmenrnl Appraisal Summary 14 DRAFT /04/B/February 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald DevelopmentProject HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission public are to learn of the value and significance of the places and people that give perspective to their history. To the North of the project site in the Changsha District are further mountains and valleys and lakes, offering similar recreation and exploration. The whole tourist zone potentially measures some 17 km2. Each of the surrounding areas will to different degrees impact on the visibility and complementary nature of each of the areas. The realisation of this project will provide a significant model for similar sites, their use and presentation for the benefit of the public. S6 Technical Assistance Table S.2 gives outline details of the Technical Assistance (TA) packages as discussed between the World Bank and PPMO and DRA Consultant. An indication of the sources o f funding i s also given. These TA packages will be expanded during the period leading up to Project Appraisal. Table S.2 HUDP-Draft List Of TechnicalAssistance Packages As can be seen from this preliminary list, these proposed TA packages can help to optimise the benefits achieved by the HUDP Components. In particular, TA 3.1 and 3.2 will ensure that the benefits achieved by the PC3 component are realised in Hunan Province and the CZT region, rather than having the clean coal products shipped elsewhere, driven by higher prices and market forces. S7 Related Projects There are a number of "linked local projects" that are being built with local funding, but having a direct effect on the HUDP component projects. Most of these projects affect the PC1 corridor project. Consolidated EnvironmentalAppraisalSummaly 15 DRAFT /04/Bffebruary2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project Hunan ProvincialDevelopment and Planning Commission The HUDP EA has not analysed these projects in any detail, but the HUDP RAP has provided a framework for dealing with relocation according to national laws and regulations. These projects also have some direct cumulative impact with the HUDP project, especially in the area of relocation. The southem end o f the PC1 Xiangtan section connects to a local project called Shaoyaogang. The World Bank recently decided that this locally-funded project was an integral part of this section due to making a closure for floodplain protection, as well as connecting the scenic road. The component EA and HEPRI HUDP EA were both completed prior to this decision being made. A t this point, this area i s to be added to the HUDPPC1 corridor component, but still be built with local funds. The Water Resources Bureau prepared an FSR for this local project in 1996, and it was agreed that this EA would include the environmental and social information contained in this FSR. The WRB FSR anticipated widening of the Xiangjiang River in this area, as well as the flood protection, since this i s a remaining pinch point in the river for navigation. This EA provides preliminary information from the WRB FSR on this project only. The WRB listed the following positive impacts for this proposedproject: 0 The recommended project proposes to widen the narrowest place (where the outfall of Xianggang smelter is located) by additional 130m and deep excavate the river course by 6m to facilitate flood discharge so that the water level at it upper stream lowered by 0.2m at flood level o f M O O year. In the mean time, the project would reduce the backwater coverage at bending embankment during flood season and avoid turbulence o f river water current. 0 The project would straighten the riverbank; reduce resistance of the riverbank to water flow and increase velocity o f the river water. It i s benefit to the degradation o f pollutants and the improvement o f river water quality. 0 The project will facilitate the flood discharge and reduce flood water level and therefore, enhance flood protection level at its upper stream. The people at its upper reaches will enjoy an improved safe production and living environment and keep social stability and sustainable development. 0 The straightened river embankment will create more beautiful riverfront landscape and urban environment. The WRB listed the following negative impacts for this proposed project: 0 The implementation o f the project will occupy about 352.78 mu of land resources, which will further intensify the stress on urban land use. The project will demolish a total of 67765.57 m2of buildings and resettle 2146 persons. The affected persons would have been suffered if resettlement were not programmed properly. 0 During the construction, oil spills from mechanical equipment would pollute water quality o f Xiangjiang River. Re-suspension of sediment during dredging may pollute part of the water area. However these impacts will be eliminated after the project construction. 0 The intakes o f Xiangtan WTPs are located at upper stream; therefore, water supply of Xiangtan City will not be impacted. The construction site will be along the riverbank, where the space i s wider; the waste gases emitted by mechanical equipment are easier to diffuse. The impact o f the project on air quality i s limited. ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisal Summaiy 16 DRAFT /04/B/Februdry 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project Hunan ProvincialDevelopment and Planning Commission 0 The road built on the original embankment along sub-section from Wanfu Temple to Jiangbei embankment management office will be cut off during construction due to abolishment of the embankment, which will causeinconvenience to local residents. 0 The excavation to widen the river course and building the a new embankment will strip part of the top soil and destroy vegetation, which will cause soil erosion during the construction. O f particular note i s the World Bank funded Waterways I1 hydroelectric dam being constructed upstream o f Zhuzhou, at the southern end o f the Zhuzhou PC1 corridor sub-project. The Waterways I1 project has also improved navigation in the Zhuzhou and Xiangtan region through dredging and improved boat facilities within the PC1 corridor area, and the south end of the PC1 Zhuzhou corridor connects to roads being constructed for this project. S8 Project Benefits S8.1 PC1, Corridor Component The main flood control objective of the PC1 component was to increase the level of flood protection and to maximise the area for urban development, making full use of the existing flood-control facilities, while increasing landscape potential. The flood protection benefits are based on estimated land and property value increments. Benefits may be grouped into two parts: (a) benefits relating to the flood protection provided by the dyke strengthening works; and (b) benefits associated with the use of the road. Floodprotection benefits The failure o f the dyke to provide protection at times of extreme flood leads to costs in the surrounding area. Between 1950 and 1998 there were 15 mild and serious disaster years with flooding and waterlogging consequences. The dyke i s able to withstand only a 10 to 15 year return flood. The costs associated with the frequency of such floods include: damaged and collapsed residences; interruption to economic enterprises comprising agriculture and fish ponds, industry and commerce; damaged public facilities including schools, roads and infrastructure. Apart from the immediate local impacts of flooding, sections o f No. 107 National Highway are in the potential flood zone. The national railway in the area would be protected and is not at risk. Telecommunication cables pass through the area are also at risk o f being disrupted. In addition to the costs of flooding, costs are incurred at times of flood alert when the civilian population and military are called out to undertake temporary embankment strengthening and raising. Unfortunately, these costs are not estimated directly by the authorities and it has not been possible to include the savings in these costs in the benefit estimates. Urban development has been taking place in the flood plain, but the rate has been moderated by the flood risks. I t i s evident that the rate of economic and urban development would increase as the protection level increases and that this growth would be greater than normal (Le. average) rate o f economic growth elsewhere in the region due to its location advantages. Thus, it i s reasonable to assume in the with versus without comparison there will be a growth in benefit estimates to reflect the changing urbanization patterns which would take advantage of the release of floodplain land from the threat of frequent floods. Consolidated EnvironmentalAppraisal Summary 17 DRAFT /04/B/February 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald DevelopmentProject HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission The flood protection benefit which is assumed for this Component is protection from over-topping the dyke. In some dyke improvement economic assessments (such as the assessment for the Bank supported China - Yangtze Dike Strengthening Project) the existing dyke has been considered to be at risk of failure as well as overtopping. Naturally there is a risk of failure during any flood event, even those which are not sufficient to overtop the dyke. But these risks are considered, in this case, to be slight and the risk analysis for failure other than overtopping has not been undertaken. The expected value of the flood protection benefits is the product of the savings in costs and the probability o f a flood occurring due to overtopping. It has been possible to calculate the risk adjusted expected NPV o f the flood in the "without improvement" case compared with the "with improvement" case by inspection of past floods data. The available data provides the loss for each of the four river sections (source: Feasibility Study, January 2004) for: assets and industry production losses; agricultural losses; and, traffic and travel disruption. Data exists on the variable frequency of floods of different severity. The losses vary with the severity o f the flood. Estimates o f the losses have been made based on historical costs for different flood levels. Thus it has been possible to construct an expected NPV for the dyke improvement benefits based on the schedule of losses against costs of losses for different flood frequencies. The protection provided by the works to the dyke i s not absolute, of course. There will remain a risk o f flooding on a 1 in 50 year basis in the rural areas and 1 in 100 year basis in the urban areas. However, these 150 and 1:lOO year flood events are common to the with and without improvement scenarios and need not enter into the economic assessment of the improvement works. Benefits will increase over time as the area becomes developed in the with improvement case at a rate considerably in excess of the normal rate of economic growth. That is, there will be development potential benefits o f protection to be included in the analysis, and a 3.5 percent assumption has been adopted for the growth in flood protection benefits. A possible alternative estimation of the flood control benefits would be through increases in the value o f property in the protected area. The quality o f the available data required to perform estimates using property values i s sketchy, so this approach has not been used. Reliance is placed, therefore, on the direct costs approach. I t would, of course, be double-counting to include both the direct benefits and the incremental property value increases. However, back-of-the-envelop estimates of benefits using the property value approach have been made (but not used) and these are found to be broadly similar to and hence support the estimates from the direct costs approach. The mean annual loss rates are as follows: Changsha Section 3.8%; Zhaoshan Section 5.6%; Xiangtan Section 2.7%; and, Zhuzhou Section 3.6%. The mean annual loss which would be foregone with the project i s the product of the loss rates and flood costs, which i s RMB 360.1 million. In addition to the direct benefits to the locality from the flood defences, there will be benefits outside the region, which are not included. In the national appraisal methods enshrined in National Code (SL206-98), the Chinese authorities allow a 20 percent addition to the savings in direct losses to cover this benefit. This 20 percent estimate was used in the economic assessment of the Yangtze Dike Strengthening Project, and it has been adopted here also. The objectives of the PC1 Xiangjiang River Scenic Roads are: 0 Building new (or strengthening and raising existing) embankment along the Xiangjiang River and building roads whose primary purpose will be to serve recreational and tourist traffic. motorised and non-motorised. ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisal Summary 18 D R A R /04/B/Februaly 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald DevelopmentProject HunanProvincialDevelopment andPlanningCommission 0 Deciding on design parameters including project configuration by section, scale (number of lanes), functionality (number of lanes dedicated to motorised, non- motorised, public transit and/or private vehicular traffic), staging, and timing (of construction and completion). These objectives are based on the need to provide a scenic road corridor that linked CZT cities with a recreation and tourism amenity to improved economic development opportunities in the region. Road benefits were based on an estimation of the general-purpose traffic benefits based on travel time and Vehicle Operating Cost (VOC) savings in a conventional traffic framework of analysis. No attempt was made to estimate the recreation benefits of the scenic road. General purpose road benefits have been calculated using conventional travel time and vehicle operating cost savings, with and without the road. Traffic volumes have been derived from land use data i n the three cities and the application o f trip generation rates and simple traffic assignments to the network, with and without the new road. The estimation o f the road benefits for recreational use of the scenic road requires data on the likely numbers using the road and their origin locations from which a recreational demand model could be derived, and consumers' surplus estimated. No survey exists for these sorts of data, nor are there any similar scenic roads in the region on which to make a comparable estimation. Without a survey of some kind o f potential beneficiaries, this element of component benefits has been assumed to be equal to the benefits for the scenic area improvements of PC6. This i s likely to underestimate the benefits of the scenic road as there are likely to be more users of the road than visitors to the scenic area. S8.2 PC2, Changsha Wastewater Component In areas of Changsha city not served, the city sewage i s discharged without treatment into fields, fish ponds and ditches and so into the Xiangjiang River. The river i s the main source of water supply for the city and for other areas downstream. Pollution of the river in this way affects adversely: water treatment costs; the agricultural crop yield from irrigated water, and i s a health hazard as a result; the city environment from the standpoint o f health, smells and visual impact; and, the fishery industry. The objectives of the Component are as follows: Establish a complete rainwater drainage and sewage collection system for the area of the city to be served so that over 90 percent of the relevant population will be users. 0 Raise the rate of treatment of sewage to over 90 percent, and industrial wastewater to 100 percent, of generation so that the discharge o f untreated sewage and consequential pollution of surface and artesian waters i s reduced. The capacity of existing WWTPs, even after expansion works which are underway, i s insufficient. Only about 37 percent of the sewage of the city i s treated. Benefits may be grouped into two parts: (a) benefits relating to the improvements in the area to be served as a result of having the'sewer network to collect and transport the waste away; and (b) benefits associated with treatment of the waste, which otherwise would flow top the river. Localarea benefits: ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisal Summary 19 DRAFT lO4IBffebrua~y2004  Hunan Urban Mort MacDonald Development Project Hunan Provincial Development and Planning Commission Amenity improvements for the population in the area will arise from removal of the wastes from open drains in the locality. Thereby there will be removal of odours, and the unsightly appearance of the areas. These benefits are essentially local in nature. The willingness o f beneficiaries to pay for the improvements i s reflected in their willingness to pay for occupation of the area and hence in the value difference o f the property with and without the improvements. Guidance from the City authorities administering property sales indicates that a premium i s payable for infrastructure improvements that open an area up for development equal to 5 percent. This premium reflects several infrastructure items but drainage and sewerage constitute a major part. Land value data were provided by the city authorities. Land averages RMB 1,350 per m2 in the service area. Some o f the area is already developed and an estimate has been made of the property values by the city authorities. Some o f the existing property in the area is provided with septic tanks which have to be emptied from time to time. There are some night soil removal services. The sewer system will substitute for these services and result in costs savings for the removal of the waste. Although there is a risk to health of not having a sanitary system of waste collection and disposal, inspection o f the incidence data of the potential diseases (such as hepatitis, diarrhoea, and dysentery) in the city as a whole indicates that they are limited in extent and not likely to be materially affected by the sewer installations in the service area, and so they have not been assessed. Some o f the area to be serviced i s already served by sewers and rainwater drains, and these parts of the service area are excluded from the assessment. WW treatment and downstream benefits The collected waste water which would otherwise eventually find its way to the river i s transported to the treatment plant for treatment. The river i s less polluted as a result. Benefits o f a reduced polluted river are as follows. Scenidamenity benefits (thereby linking to PC1 - Scenic Corridor) from a cleaner river. These are extremely difficult benefits to quantify. Difficulties are compounded as the river pollution will remain at high levels since the WWTP will only reduce the overall river pollution levels from a high level to one slightly less high. As a result of the (slightly) cleaner river there will be improved water quality for abstraction for drinking water and industrial purposes downstream, resulting in cost savings for the water treatment purposes. There are some minor abstraction points downstream at present and more to be provided in future as the city expands. These cost savings are therefore also difficult to estimate, but are likely to be modest at the present time. The feasibility study was not able to identify measurable benefits in respect of this item. Improved river water quality would increase the value of the agricultural output from any downstream irrigated areas where the irrigation water i s obtained from the river. Similarly, fishponds which are served by river water would be beneficiaries and their output would be enhanced. However, there i s uncertainty over the extent to which the flood plain agriculture and fisheries use river water in their production process given that there are in use alternative natural sources o f water supply. The feasibility study was not able to identify measurable benefits in this respect. ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisal Summary 20 DRAFT /04/BIFebruary 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project Hunan Provincial Development and Planning Commission S8.3 PC3, Zhuzhou Clean Coal Component Air pollution in China mainly results from coal combustion, with local pollutants of S02, smoke dust and NOx and, of course, global warming pollutants from the atmospheric release of carbon. Moreover, China i s the world's largest coal producing and coal burning country. The pollution from coal consumption i s the largest air environmental problem in China. 70% of national total smoke dust emission, 90% of national SO2 emission, 67% of national NOx emission and 70% of national C02 emission are all from coal combustion. The burning o f coal has caused serious air pollution in cities affecting the amenity and health of the population and hence the cost of illness, and damage to buildings and structures. It has also caused acid rain in rural areas affecting outputs o f agriculture and fisheries. This national situation regarding air pollution i s reflected in Changsha and the other Project cities, and in Hunan Province more generally. Hunan has plentiful resources in coal but the sulphur and ash contents are high and as a result the cities and the Province have serious air pollution problems. Government has a policy of controlling pollution such that 2010 levels will be no higher than 2000 levels despite the fact that coal will play the primary role of energy resources. Clean coal technology can reduce the sulphur and ash content of combusting coal so as to reduce pollutants and accordingly the introduction of this technology i s one of the methods by which the Government policy objectives can be achieved. The objective o f the Component, therefore, i s to establish a new production facility for clean coal products in order to achieve environmental objectives. Benefits may be grouped into two parts: (a) benefits relating to the consumption of the product which accrue to the consumers; and (b) benefits associated with reduction in air pollution which benefits the environment. Consumption benefits The clean coal products will be sold mainly to small and medium industrial consumers for use in boilers. Consumers will have some reduction in costs as a result o f using the clean coal product compared with untreated coal. These cost reductions will arise from higher calorific value and reduced ash. However, the consumers' cost reductions will be less than the additional prices which will be charged for the clean coal products. The imperative for the consumers to purchase the clean coal products arises not from the benefits of using them but from regulations that they face which oblige them to use clean coal or risk prosecution. Accordingly, the revenues generated by the scheme will overstate the cost savings to consumers o f the products. I t i s unclear by how much the cost savings from using the products will fall short of the additional benefits o f the clean coal products. However, the Feasibility Study report (Table 11-8) indicates that the clean coal i s about 56 percent more costly than untreated coal when assessed on a full cost basis. Therefore, the marginal benefits to consumers must be equal to or less than 56 percent of the revenues of clean coal. Revenues have been obtained from the Feasibility Study report (Nov 2003). As a first assumption, the consumer benefits have been assumed equal to 35 percent o f gross revenues. These cost reductions will arise from higher calorific value and reduced production o f ash. However, the consumers' cost reductions will be less than the additional prices which will be charged for the clean coal products. The imperative for the consumers to purchase the clean coal products arises from regulations that they face which oblige them to use clean coal or risk prosecution. Pollution reduction benefits: Local/Regional Pollutants Consolidated Environmental Appraisal Summary 21 DRAFT lO45February 2004  Hunan Urban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission InTable S.3, the use of the clean coal products indicates a reduction inthe emissions of pollutants by the annual amounts shown when the plant i s operating at full capacity: Table S.3 Reductionof Air PollutantsDue to PC3Implementation Pollutant Annual Remarks so2 reduction(tones) 10,000 Local and regional impacts. NO, 4,500 Local and regional impacts. Particulates 14,000 Local and regional impacts. co2 113,900 Global warming impacts. S8.4 PC4, CZT Logistics Centre Component The objectives o f the logistics centre are to reduce the costs o f transportation of goods with origins and destinations in the region and thereby to increase the volume of trade. With much of the trade originating in the Project area there may be positive impacts on regional incomes and employment levels. Benefits may be grouped into two parts: (a) benefits relating to the use o f the logistics centre; and (b) wider regional benefits, which have not been quantified (see discussion above of the analysis inthe Feasibility Study report). Benefits relating to the use of the logistics centre are largely private benefits for transporters who find i t cheaper and/or more time efficient to use the logistics centre than alternative routes or production locations. Since there are many alternative routes and facilities for the transporters to use it i s unlikely that there would be significant producer surpluses to add to revenues to obtain the benefit estimates of the new facility. Therefore, mostly these producer benefits will be captured as logistics centre revenues. There may be wider regional economic development benefits arising from additional incomes and employment, in addition. These benefits are impossible to quantify in the absence o f any knowledge about the counterfactual economic activity. The counterfactual might well be activity which is displaced by the new logistics centre, in which case the wider benefits would be offset by losses elsewhere with no net regional benefits. This type of benefit has not been quantified. S8.5 Zhaoshan Scenic Area Component The component provides for the considerable improvement and upgrading of the cultural and recreational amenities o f an existing scenic area. The area is visited by people living in the surrounding region. The area consists o f a forested hilly outcrop of about 160 ha overlooking the river and containing various cultural, historical and religious artifacts including a temple. The artifacts are o f local significance. The objectives of the scenic area improvement works are to increase the recreational amenities of the surrounding population. In the longer term. the scenic area may be connected to a neighbouring much larger area of hilly country and become a centre for hilung and other outdoor pursuits. ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisal Summary 22 DRAFT /04~ffebmaiy2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project Hunan Provincial Development andPlanning Commission Benefits may be grouped into two parts: (a) benefits relating to the use of the scenic area for recreational and cultural purposes; and (b) wider recreational and cultural benefits associated with the reinstatement of the cultural facilities and artifacts. Recreational benefits The design team have estimated the number of visitors following completion of the works will be about one million pa. Most visitors will come from the immediately surrounding areas, travelling relatively short distances. There will be some synergy with the proposed scenic road (PCl) which accesses the scenic area from both directions, south and north. An entry fee o f RMB 20 per head i s proposed for visitors to the scenic area, or some other mechanisms for generating revenues since there will be other revenue earning opportunities in the area. The design team has estimated the build-up of revenues from the entry fee and other sources of revenue and these represent a first approximation of the benefits of the scenic area for recreational purposes. While there would be consumers' surplus, this i s difficult to estimate and has not been measured. Some of the visitors will come from outside the region, and possibly outside China. None will do so primarily in order to visit Zhaoshan, which does not have international historical and cultural significance. They may do so incidentally, as part of their visits of other scenic, historical and cultural features in the region (such as Chairman Mao's birthplace, which i s some 50 km away). The Feasibility Study team estimates less than 400 pa visitors in this international category. This seems too small a number to count towards the benefits of the scenic area. Social and environmental benefits The Feasibility Study report provides a description of the wider social and environmental benefits of the proposals. It stressed the long-term development potential for tourism and recreation development, and the income generating benefits that it will bring to the area. There are wider cultural benefits from conservation o f the heritage. However, these are difficult benefits to quantify, and no attempt has been made to do so. S9 Social Impacts Resettlement and compensation plans have been prepared and are covered in a separate "Resettlement Action Plan" (RAP). The final RAP has been prepared for the World Bank at the same time as this EA. According to the measurement surveys, the HUDP will affect a total of 8,253 persons. The residential house demolition will affect 7,107 persons in 2,128 households, and 1,146 persons in 134 enterprises and business units. Of the total project affected people (PAPS) of the Project, 2,034 households or 6,995 persons will be relocated, and 4,197 persons will need the production rehabilitation. About 513,108 m2 of residential and non-residential houses will be demolished; of which 368,914 m2are residential houses and 144,175 m2are non-residential houses. A total of 8,862 mu of land will be affected, including 5,575 mu of land to be acquired permanently and 3,287 mu of land to be occupied temporarily. Other assets to be acquired by the Project will include: auxiliaries, household utilities, trees, tombs, basic infrastructure and special facilities.

These construction impacts have been sorted according to their geographic location within the overall project scheme. Details of mitigation measures, the monitoring required to ensure that mitigation measures are effectively implemented, and responsibilities are provided in detailed charts. HUDP PMOSwill have an ongoing responsibility to track and report the monitoring work of all the identified agencies, in addition to their own direct monitoring activities. The potential operational phase impacts are relatively minor and easily mitigated. Many of the concerns have been addressed in the course o f the design of the wastewater collection and wastewater treatment facilities. Details of mitigation measures, a programme for monitoring mitigation measures and responsibilities are provided in detailed charts. The economic analysis for HUDP component projects indicates that they are needed and affordable for the population of the cities. This project i s meeting a "backlog" need for flood control and environmental infrastructure and should not induce adverse extensive growth or secondary impacts. The present environmental problems are serious and the provision of this environmental infrastructure i s necessary for current needs and to mitigate current problems. Future problems without the project would become even more critical. S11 Environmental Impacts, Mitigation Measures and Monitoring - Construction Phase The project components of HUDP will potentially cause a variety of short-term construction and longer-term operation impacts. A series of mitigation measures have been planned to reduce the impacts to acceptable levels. The implementation of these mitigation measures will occur during construction and operation. In order to ensure that the mitigation measures are effectively carried out "mitigation monitoring" procedures have been established and the organisations to be responsible for this monitoring have been designated. The HUDP PMO will have an ongoing responsibility to track and report the monitoring of mitigation measures of all the identified agencies, in addition to their direct responsibilities. In this chapter the generic approach to the selection of appropriate mitigation methods and the designation of typical monitoring measures and responsibilities i s presented. The following coding was used to identify the agencies responsible for monitoring of mitigation measures: Agencies responsible for Monitoring of Mitigation a. Provincial Construction Department b. Provincial EPB E. City Construction Bureaus / PIU d. City EPB e. City Wastewater Company There are obvious differences of scope and impact, but there are generic similarities in the types o f impacts and mitigations that will be undertaken. Each of the projects will be analysed in both the construction and operation phases.

Other Performance Indicators to be monitored relate to the effective operation of the component engineering works. The recommendedenvironmental monitoringprogram is significant in both the construction and initial operation phases of the project. In addition, the specified monitoringinvolves many participants from the project level to the national level. The results of this environmental monitoring program should be summarised in an Annual Environmental Quality Report (AEQR), which is distributedto all relevant project officesas well as the World Bank. The charts shownearlier provideconvenient checklists for these reports,as well as the HEPRIEMPrecommendations. At the beginning of January every year, each project construction unit sorts the relative monitoring data and reports it to Hunan ProvinceProject Office, and Hunan Province Project Office collects the data and reports it to the World Bank every year in the form of an AEQR.

However, the EA reviews technical evaluations relative to verification of cost effective solutions, regardless of whether significant environmental issues are involved. The EA evaluates the HUDPproject components, with and without the project scenarios. However, the analyses of more regional aspects of these components and whether optimal solutions have been proposed on a regional or basin wide basis i s considered beyond the scope of this EA, and left to more regional or sectoral EA analysis. The over-riding goal of the HUDP project was the fostering o f CZT integration and cooperation, to allow for more regional and optimal planning of future projects in the CZT planning area.

These meetings have occurred monthly at a minimumand have resulted infull collaboration with local officials and full support of the project and the EA process. The many meetings with public officials in the province coupled with the HEPRI surveys of public support show that these projects are extremely positive and well received by the public. No objections have been received by the city PIUs and there i s no indication that there i s anyone that is not in support of these projects or would try to stop their completion. Most o f the project-related people and organisations have obtained correct knowledge about the significance o f the project and impact upon the environment, and know clearly about how these projects would hasten the development of State, regional and individual economy. Except for PC2, all the project components are supported by most of the people, therefore, they have a sound social basis. According to the project features, the environmental problems which these projects might produce are relatively small; and for the environmental assessment and designing department have taken various impact factors into account and put forward relevant prevention and control measures before construction, problems will be solved as long as these measures are put into practice. In order to win more widespread comprehension and support from the people, HEPRI recommends that project proponents pay attention to the following problems during the design and construction period: Provide closer contact with local government and people, adopt the public's reasonable, feasible suggestions on time, to bring more economic and social benefit and reduce the possible adverse impact. Resettlement plans should be made as early as possible; the resettled should have the rights to participate in layout plans, and to select their most satisfactory one, by getting door-to- door visits or meetings o f representatives they put forward. Never put aside opinions from the vulnerable groups. Prepare for the impact of resettled upon the destination area. As resettlement will cause the increase o f requirement on land, water sources and social service, consider to further consummate the infrastructure facility construction. As construction of PC3 will further increase the dust and noise impact upon the roadside resident, it is the minimumrequirement to have environmental trainings for staff and careful maintenance on vehicles; and, it i s suggested that the project client help the local government to manage and maintain the road.

Inparticular, the PCl flood embankment and scenic road will connect the CZT cities and promote regional tourism and development. ConsolidatedEnvironmentalAppraisalSuinmary 59 DRAFT lMIBIFebruary 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission Some of the key issues affecting the development of the CZT Region include: frequent flooding of the Xiangjiang River; high levels of pollutionin the Xiangjiang River, with the domestic pollution from Changsha requiring priority attention: air pollutiondue to the use of high sulphur coal; under-utilisation of Zhuzhou's potential as a transport hub: and underutilizationof the potential of the riverfront and historical areas on the banks of Xiangjiang River for improved liveability. The objectives of HUDP (including the components related to energy, transportation, flood control, tourism, urban wastewater treatment and ecological improvement) are consistent with and foster the environmental objectives of the Tenth Five-year Plan. The HUDP will accrue benefits to the improvement of urban environment quality, water quality in Xiangjiang River, landscape ecology, the reduction of air pollution, the enhancement of flood control and the promotion of tourism development. I t i s a very important move in implementing CZT regional plan. The implementation of HUDPwill advance integrateden\,ironmental and economic planninginthe CZTregion through improved flood protection and linked scenic resources, raise the levels of central wastewater treatment and; treating and reducing wastewater pollutant loads will help realize the control objectives of total pollutant discharge amounts; effectively controlling the environmental pollution tendency and meeting the standard of surface water during the period of the Tenth Five-year Plan. The appearances, styles and grades of the project cities can also be much upgraded through improved environmental planning, reduced air pollution and improved logistics services for the sustainable development of the province in the future. The PCI flood control embankment and scenic road, in particular, will link the three cities interests in a way that has never occurred in the past. Future phases o f the HUDP or other international investment schemes will benefit from the CZT E10 planning structure and optimal regional solutions can be developed for maximum economic and environmental benefit. Implementation of the HUDP components i s likely to result in other potential additional benefits, including: 0 Reduced risk of groundwater contamination in the service areas. 0 The impact of making realistic charges for wastewater services should help to encourage waste minimisation at source, and internalise the costs of pollution control. 0 Amenity benefits to the population of project cities are likely to accrue as the quality o f the adjacent rivers improve. This could include use of the river for recreational purposes and the development of riverside walks and parks for public use. S20 Final Conclusions and Recommendations 1. The flooding situation and environmental conditions are serious and the flood control and environmental infrastructure needs of Hunan Province are high, and expanding rapidly. 2. The HUDP projects have emerged from a basin-wide prioritisation process, are well formulated, and have detailed and complete preliminary designs and cost estimates. 3. There i s good public support for the projects based on meetings in the project cities and public opinion surveys. 4. The proposed projects can meet financial and economic tests of sustainability and are affordable to the local citizens. 5. Social impacts, consisting mainly of land acquisition and resettlement, are addressed b y a detailed RAP, and, in any case, are not significantly adverse. Consolidated Environmental Appreisal Summary 60 DRAFT /04/B/February 2004  HunanUrban Mott MacDonald Development Project HunanProvincial Development and Planning Commission 6. The potential economic, social and environmental benefits of the Phase HUDP projects are large, as reported in the previous sections. 7. Potential construction and operational phase impacts of the proposed HUDP projects have been adequately assessed and no major issues have been identified. Detailed mitigation and monitoring procedures have been preparedwhich should adequately lessen the overall effect of these potential impacts. Monitoring costs have been included for this work and assignments detailed. 8. The recommendations included hereinin the Component EAs and HEPRI in the Consolidated EA are rational and should beconsideredin the design and construction of these projects. 9.
