Introduction 1.1 Background Shenyang city is going to implement Liaoning Urban Transport Project Shenyang Subproject - Shenyang Urban Transport Project (SUTP) to strengthen urban transport sector development including public transport, traffic management and road infrastructure in the central urban area, in order to alleviate the increasing critical urban traffic problems such as insufficient public Aransport capacity, apparent "laissez-faire" ways of traffic, uncompleted road network (short of a continuous east-west corridor) and many existing roads with worse pavement condition. This Environmental Action Plan (EIA) Report will be submitted, together with the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report, to the World Bank for them to review. As the EIA Report included that this project will assist in providing a solution to traffic congestion, promote economic prosperity and improve the quality of urban life. It was noted that when the project is completed, the noise level and air pollution will increase within the immediate vicinity of the roads in result of incremental traffic flow and travel speed; oil contaminated water and emission will be produced by the Bus Repair Facility; but the air quality of the overall urban area will be improved by and large than "without project". The project was judged to be environmentally feasible if the recommended options were selected and if the mitigation measures were implemented effectively. Regarding to the environmental issues outlined in the EIA report, this EAP Report provides corresponding mitigation and monitoring measures and training program and requests those involved in phases of design, construction and operation of the project to -take necessary environmental protection actions described in this report, in order to eliminate or reduce the project impact to the environment. Project Description The SUTP consists of 5 components of road infrastructure, traffic management, public transport, road maintenance and technical assistance and training. The following describes those components in two parts according to the extent of their potential environmental impacts. r Components with potential environmental impacts (Figure 1.1-1) 1) Bus Repair Facility A new Bus Repair Facility is to be built in Xiaohantun, which is located in the northwestern suburb of the city. This facility will annually undertake major repair for 500 vehicles (400 l  'II~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~11% ati I' / ~ ~ y- 6 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~' 1 . / 63: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i / I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I - ,nfl~~i~~iII~ -> I~LEGEN 3//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ifc o(  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan buses and 100 mini buses) and medium repair for 500 vehicles (400 buses and 100 mini buses); 64 buses (32 for major repair and 32 for medium repair) and 14 mini buses (8 for major repair and 6 for medium repair) can be under repair at the same time; and the employment will be 1010. 2) Hub Bus Terminal of Dadongmen The proposed Dadongmen Bus Terminal wvill take the advantage of the existing Dadongmen public transport parking lot in the open air and upgrade it into a hub bus terminal combined with social vehicle parking lot, a structure of one storey on the ground and one storey underground. The storey on the ground can manage 34 buses or trolley buses and the storey underground 108 automobiles. 3) Jianshe -Nanwu Corridor It is proposed to build a new viaduct from Yunfeng Street to Fangxing Square to cross over the Shenda Rail Line and the existing intersections on Nanwu Road. The deck is 1 8m width with 2 MV traffic lanes in each direction.

The total length of the viaduct is 3.8 km and the adjacent areas are residential, cultural and educational areas. Fangxing Square Interchange is proposed to be a structure of combination of roundabout at grade with directional ramps. The ramps will carry the main MV traffic flow from Nanwu Road, Wenhua Road, Guangrong Street and Ningbo Road. The minor MV traffic flow on those roads, NMV traffic of all directions and buses will take the roundabout at grade. 4) Beiyi-Lianhe Road Corridor Beiyi-Lianhe Road corridor consists of Beiyi Road, Gonghe Bridge, Gonghe Interchange and Lianhe Road. The total length is 10.6 km. The segment of Beiyi Road starts in the west from Baogong Street, the west section of the First Ring Road, follows eastwards the existing boundary between Tiexi industrial and residential area and ends at the Gonghe Bridge. This segment is 3.1 km in length, with 40 m width of redline ( the term "red line is a planning term used to describe the permissible limit of development) of 3 Motor Vehicle (MV) lanes in each direction. Gonghe Bridge will be for MV only. The span of the main Gonghe bridge is 280 m and the width 25m. Traffic coming from and going to Beiyi Road will take this bridge to cross an area with r railway spur lines and sidings and store-houses. Gonghe Bridge will connect the Gonghe Interchange with its east end. The proposed Gonghe Interchange is a three-layer semi-interchange with MV and NMV separation. The interchange will carry the main traffic flow from and provide ramp connections to Shengli Street, Shifu Road? the proposed Beiyi Road and Lianhe Road. 2  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan The proposed Lianhe Road goes from the proposed Gonghe Interchange in the west, traversing the residential, cultural and commercial area in the city center, and ends at Beihai Street, the east section of the First Ring Road. This segment, with total length of 6.8 km and 60 m width of red line (48 m width somewhere), will have 3 MV lanes in each direction with MV and NMV separation. 5) Pangjiang Street Improvement Panjiang Street is the east section of the first ring road. This segment starts from Binhe Road in the south and ends at Shenhai Interchange in the north. This segment, with 2.1 km in length and 46 m width ot redline (42 m width somewhere), will have 3 MV traffic lanes in each direction with MV and NMV separation. Factories and residential buildings are in close vicinity to the road. 6) Zhulin Corridor Improvement Zhulin Road is the east exit section on the east-west arterial road traversing the city center. This segment starts in the west from Jinqiao Road and ends in the east at Shenhai Interchange, located on the east section of the first ring road. This segment is 1.06 km in length, 40 m width of red line and will accommodate bi-directional 4 MV traffic lanes with MV and NMV separation. 7) Nanjing Corridor Improvement Nanjing Street is the south exit section on the north-south arterial road of the city center. This segment starts from Nanba Road in the north and ends at the Second Ring Road in the south. It is 1.77 km in length and 40 m in width, providing 4 MV traffic lanes and MV with NMV separation. 8) Sanjing Street Improvement Sanjing Street, located in the city center, starts from Zhongshan Road in the north and ends at Binhe Road in the south, with total length of 2.5 km and red line width of 30 m. 9) Heilongjiang Street Improvement Heilongjiang Street starts from Chongshan Road, the north section of the First Ring Road and terminates at Kunshan Road in the south. Its south end faces the north gate of the Shenyang North Railway Station. The total length is 1.3 km and the red line width 30 m. 10) Shenzhou Road Missing Link Connection Shenzhou Road Missing Link Connection will provide a direct connection between Shiyiwei Road and Nanshuncheng Street. The total length is 1.0 km and the red line width 40 m, with 4 MV lanes and MV and NMV separation. 3  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan 1 1) Tianguang Street Missing Link Connection Tianguang Street Missing Link Connection will connect the proposed Shenzhou Road in the north and Fengyutan Street in the south with total length of 1.4 km and the red line width of 30 m.

Environmental Protection Measures 2.1 Design Phase 2.1.1 Noise Configuration and construction materials * The construction of viaduct will result in more extensive and louder traffic noise to the vicinity of the viaduct. Surface road is always the solution and no viaduct should be constructed except that the capacity is still insufficient through road widening. * Larger structures and the application of flexible joints, as well as minimizing the number of joints (crevices) will be used for viaduct and interchange to reduce the noise generated due to bumps by vehicles. * Application of flexible supports, such as rubber plates and bowl shaped supports, will be used for viaduct and interchange to buffer vibration of the structure and resulting noise. * Green space will be used to separate MV and NMV for roads with 40 m or wider width of red line to ensure traffic safety and minimize noise impacts caused by MV horn of mixed traffic. * Instead of operation in the open air, bus repair facility and bus terminals will be housed in fully closed building structures in order to reduce noise impact to the surrounding areas. Sound barrier design The location, shape, material, and height of sound barriers with roadside absorptive lining is dependent on the function of roadside buildings, noise levels, road configuration, resistance to wind and erosion, safety and urban landscape. As part of the integration of mitigation into project design, the Municipal Design Institute has assisted with the preliminary design of noise mitigation structures. The primary structures proposed for noise mitigation are sound barriers, taking aluminum alloy frame and PC stamina plate of 3.5 mm thick (light transparent rate 80%). However other methods such as increasing the height of road dividers are also proposed.

Figure 2.1-1 and 2.1-2 illustrates noise mitigation measures for the sensitive receptors and the first row buildings in the area adjacent to the alignment. 14  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan Table 2.1-2 Noise Mitigation Measures for the Residential Buildings Adjacent to the Alignment Road Section Selected Mitigation Sound Barrier ( m) Double Glazing(m2) Air Conditioner (set) Nanwu Viaduct 1860 7171 1434 Beiyi Road 2175 435 Lianhe Road 9505 1901 Pangjiang Street 2630 526 Zhulin Road 2955 591 Nanjing Street 9510 1902 Sanjing Street 8050 1610 Heilongjiang Street 2810 562 Shenzhou Road 2040 408 Tianguang Street 4155 831 Dadongmen Bus Terminal 600 120 Total 1860 51600 10320 Noise Mitigation Design for Bus Repair Facility In the design phase, vibration reduction pad will be designed for large- sized stamping machinery causing high vibration, and soft connection with rubber or canvas will be used at the outlets of the air blowers in order to minimize noise and vibration. 2.1.2 Vibration * Larger structures and the application of flexible joints, as well as minimizing the number of joints will be used for viaduct and interchange to reduce vibration. * Application of flexible supports, such as rubber plates and bowl shaped supports for viaduct and interchange to buffer vibration of structure and resulting noise. 2.1.3 Air Quality Emission Treatment Process Design for Paint Spraying and Baking Finish of the Bus Repair Facility In order to mitigate air pollution from paint spraying and baking finish, catalytic combustion process has been designed for the treatment of the emission from paint spraying and baking finish. Dust Removal Process Design for Boiler Emission 15  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan In the process design of the bus repair facility, rough stone water film dust precipitator has been considered for the treatment of the boiler emission. 2.1.4 Water Quality Treatment Process Design for Waste Water with Oil Contaminant Vehicle external washing wastewater and oil contaminated water of the Bus Repair Facility will firstly stay in the oil removal tank to get rid of suspended oil and sedimentation sludge, and go to aeration.floating tank to remove soluble oil and fine suspended particles and then enter water recycling tank through filter. The effluent will be pumped to the water consumption workshops for vehicle and floor washing and surplus water will be discharged. Battery Cell Washing Wastewater Treatment Process Design The battery cell washing wastewater and the waste liquid of the Bus Repair Facility will be recovered by electrolyzation and then neutralized with alkali waste liquid in the neutralization tank so to achieve the target pH value for discharge. Vehicle Washing Wastewater Treatment Design Vehicle washing wastewater of the Bus Terminals mainly contains suspended particles. Sedimentation tank is specially designed for Bus Terminals and vehicle-washing wastewater will be discharged after treated in the sedimentation tank. 2.1.5 Landscape Concerns * Box beams are to be adopted in the viaduct design. * In the design, street trees are considered to be planted on the roadsides, bush and lawn grow in the separation space, ivy and lawn cover areas around interchanges. 2.1.6 Life Quality * Pedestrians' crossing strips (at 11 locations) must be marked at every distance of 300 m in road section where there is no intersection or in front of school gates along the project roads. Pedestrian traffic signals must be installed at crossings of six or more MV traffic lanes (such as Pangjiang Street, Beiyi Road, Lianhe Road and Nanjing Street). 2.1.7 Summary Table 2.1-3 summarizes the mitigation and responsibility for implementation that has been incorporated or is proposed during the design phase of the project to assist in minimizing potential impacts. 16  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan Table 2.1-3 Summary of Design Phase Mitigation Issue/Concern Action to be Taken Responsibility Alternate * Selection of ground level alignrment The Project Office .Alignment of Beiyi Road Alternate Location * Bus repair facility will be located in Shenyang Land Planning Bureau suburban area and within 200 m2 there is no sensitive areas.

Constructors must abide by the provisions for construction noise prevention and control in the Rules for Environiental Noise Prevention 17  Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Shenyang Subproject Environmental Action Plan and Control in Shenyang. The following mitigation measures are recommended: * Article 30 of the National Environmental Pollution Prevention and Control Law (took effect on March 1, 1997) stipulates that all noisy constructions are prohibited during nighttime except rush-repair, emergency or special process needs, in this case, the permit from SEPB and announcement to the residents by the constructor are required. * Employ low noise machinery and carry out monthly inspection and maintenance; * Contractor should rationalize work timetable and siting, keep noisy operations away from the sensitive points; * Construction structures such as viaduct structures used for Nanwu Road viaduct, Gonghe Interchange arn Fangxing Square flyover will be prefabricated off-site and then transported to the construction site for installation; * If monitoring result shows noise exceeds the standard, the Monitoring Station will immediately report to the Project Office and this office will compel the contractor to cease the operation. 2.2.2 Vibration
