Reconstruction (JRR) project is the Anshan subproject of Liaoning Urban Transport Project using loan from the World Bank, which includes the following five components: A) Road Infrastructure The project which shAli involve a road section of 18.87 km in total length, includes Jianguo Road's (south-north) widening and extension to north; construction of Hebei Road to connect the northern exit of the city; widening and reconstruction of Huangang Road (east-west) and Yongchang Street (east-west); construction of Wuyi Road Interchange as main crossing at the meeting point of Huangang Road with Yongchang Street; widening, reconstruction and extension to south of Yuanlin Road and Zhonghua Road to connect South Ring Road which will be extended to east; movement (required by widening of Jianguo Road) of tram line (now located at Jianguo Road and its west side) to the west close to Zhongchang Railway. Refer to Fig. 2-3 and Table 2-2 through 2-4 about the layout of road infrastructure. B) Traffic Management * Building of three new social parking lots in Hunan. Zhanqian and the People's park area. * Channelization of eight intersections (Yuanlin Rd., Sandaojie and Wuyi Rd. Intersections etc.). * Furnish the traffic signs and markings. * Provide and renew the traffic light facilities (at Jianguo Rd., Huangang Rd., Yongchang St. and South Ring Rd. etc.). * Provide the median separator. pedestrian physical separator and separation facilities 'separating the motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle on Jianguo Rd., Huangang Rd.. Yongchang Street, Shengli Road. Yuanlin Road. Jiefang Road. * Set up 4 non-motor vehicle lanes on Lishan Street. Youai Street etc.. C) Public Transport * Set up three bus special lanes (Shengli Road Center Bus Lane Project. Renmin Road Bus/NMV Only Road. Zhonghua Road Tram/NMV Only Road). * . Set up Wuyi Bus Transfer Station. D) Road Maintenance * Reconstruct 4.0 km-long H1ongqi Road (Enclosing wall of enterprises on the both sides of this road will remain unchanged. * Pave 6 walkways for pedestrian (Shuguang Street etc.). I Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment E) Technical Assistance It shall include the MVECS. other TA and training items. Auxiliary items include traffic control, public transport and road maintenance etc.. For brief introduction and distribution of auxiliary items, see Table 2-5 and Fig. 2-4. Implementation of auxiliary items shall exert less influence on environment than construction of infrastructure. As a part of outer frame "qi" (outer circle road ), the South Ring Road, West Ring Road and North Ring Road wer6 principally implemented. The roads at four ends of "t" from " " (east, south, west and north of the city ) were also finished (see Fig.2-2). The project mainly concerns the "+" skeleton which is the key part for realization of Anshan Urban Traffic Development Program. The total investment of JRR project amounts to 1268.0622 million Yuan RMB among which 34.6297 million Yuan RMB is used for environment protection. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY AND PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Anshan city, located in the middle of Liaoning Province (see Fig. 1-1), is a heavily industrial city. The plant area of Anshan Iron & Steel Complex (AISC, employees 0.2 million ) is concentrated on the northwest to the city, occupying 1/4 land of the city. 0.2 million AISC's employees going to and off work result in tidewise traffic. Present status of Anshan's road traffic is as follows: sparse road network, low traffic capacity of roads, inconvenient traffic feom ast- to-west, more road break-off because of different land use of the city. For details, see Fig. 2-1. For this assessment, air quality and traffic noise have been monitored in summer and winter, obtaining 8092 monitoring data of air quality and 1544 data of noise and vibration. Monitoring results of routine measurement and this assessment show that the noise level on the both sides of roads in urban area generally has exceeded the standard, especially at night (max. excess 15.3 dB), air environmental quality is poor, the hourly concentration of all pollution factors has exceeded the standard, the daily average values have exceeded the standard, in which the excess rates of HC and B[a]P are 100%. For details, see Table 3-2, Table 3-3, Table 3-5, Fig. 3-2 - 3-6. For survey of social environment, see Fig. 3-7 through 3- 9. At present, the main problems that the city of Anshan faces are the traffic noise pollution and air pollution resulting from the industrial pollinate, meanwhile, the traffic congestion cause inconvenience to the outgoing of the public. 2 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 3.1 Comparison of With and Without JRR in 2010 The negative impact of traffic noise with JRR on the other roads within the urban area is slightly lower than without JRR. With JRR, the total emission of CO, NOx, NO2 and HC from vehicles in the whole city is less 23.36%, 17.86%, 17.86% and 21.72% respectively than that of without JRR. The JRR project hag-significant importance for inhibiting further deterioration of Anshan air environment, but alsq a little negative impact in the view of traffic noise and pedestrians walking at some sections. Moving of tram line will solve the problem of mutual interference of vehicles and tramcars. The interference occurs mainly in front of Anshan Railway Station, at Jianguo Road section from Rainbow Bridge to Wuyi Road Intersection and at area near Lishan Underpass. In the meantime, the negative impact of tramcar noise on the residents along the line will be reduced. 3.2 Positive Impact Relieve traffic pressure of other trunk roads in Anshan City. Solve the problem of traffic jam of AISC's production & staff transportation, reduce traffic load near area of railway station, thoroughly eliminate the confusion and crowded situation of Anshan urban traffic. Shorten the time and distance of traveling of pedestrians and MV & NMV vehicles, favorable to improve the life quality of public. Arrange the resettled residents in the neighborhood and incorporate the dismantled enterprises into the appropriate industrial zones, to improve living environment of displaced residents, make the city arrangement more reasonable and raise the living quality of public of the whole city. In large range, the negative impact of traffic noise with JRR is less than that of without JRR; the impact of vehicle emission on air environment is larger than the existing situation. but the increasing rate is less than that of without JRR. Compared with the existing situation, the increasing rate of air pollutants of with or without JRR is shown in Table 7-1. When the project is completed. the density of pollutants in the air at most road sections is lower than that of without JRR. Moving of tram line will solve the problem of mutual interference of vehicles and tramcars. The interference occurs mainly in front of Anshan Railway Station, at Jianguo Road section * from Rainbow Bridge to Wuyi Road Intersection and at area near Lishan Underpass. In the meantime, the negative impact of tramcar noise on the residents along the line will be reduced. Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 3.3 Negative Impact In construction phase, normal traveling of vehicle and pedestrians will be negatively impacted, and the living of the residents near the construction site will also be affected. The project will occupy 44350 m2 cultivated land which can never be restored, and 103231 m2 green area (among which 57.38% of trees to be cut down are over 25 years old) will be destroyed. When the project is completed, it is not convenient for the public to cross the street. Due to increased vehicle floW and speed. the impact of traffic noise on buildings adjacent to the road sides will be more seriqus than the existing situation. The density of air pollutants in the area of Laodong Road will be higher than that of without JRR in 2010. The negative impact in the view of vibration, surface water and sunshine will not be greater than that of without JRR, and the impact of solid waste disposal during construction phase on environment is very little. 4 MITIGATION MEASURES FOR SERIOUS IMPACTS 4.1 Design Phase * Traffic light for pedestrians crossing street shall be added at the intersections where the public crosses the street frequently. Traffic policeman box shall be added on Jianguo Road section in front of gate of Sifangtai Fruit Wholesale Market where there is heavy flow of customers and vehicles to facilitate the pedestrians crossing street and vehicles turning left. * - By many times of discussions and agreement with ARPO, Anshan Urban and Countryside Planning Institute and Beijing Municipal Project Design & Research Institute, two sound barriers 3 m high and 250 m long shall be installed respectively on the both sides of approach of Wuyi Road Interchange's section near Wuyi Road Primary School. * 91 air-conditioners shall be installed in the patient ward and diagnosis room of three hospitals such as Hospital of Grain Bureau etc.; 262 air conditioners shall be installed in the classrooms of 5 schools Neighboring the project road; 5094 air-conditioners shall be installed in the residential buildings Neighboring the project road in order to reduce noise pollution in summer. * By agreement with the design institution, the original space of 5m between the trees on both sides of the street shall be changed to 2.5m, in order to restore the green area destroyed by the project as soon as possible. In 2010 all the destroyed green area can be restored. 4 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 4.2 Construction Phase APRO must clarify the environmental protection responsibility during the construction and transportation while entrusting the contractor with the project and must incorporate the responsibility in the contract. The construction shall be accomplished section by section and half by half at main places such as AISC entrance; temporary passageways shall be set up during construction phase. Designated person shall fetch pupils to cross the street when construction is being made near schools. The construction tim'e shall be shortened; construction at night shall be avoided; construction equipment and facilities of lower noise shall be used; operation at night of machinery with high noise and vibration must be approved by Anshan Environment Protection Btireau. By bulk transportation, the material must be covered and the transportation should avoid peak hours of traffic; water sprinkling times should be added on the way; the site of construction should have temporary store houses for bulk material; when old buildings or structures are dismantled, plastic fence should be set up around building in order to suppress dust emission to the environment. In construction phase, Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center shall carry out monitoring of noise, air, surface water and so on during construction phase. 4.3 Operational Phase Anshan City has solemnly promised to develop and implement motor vehicle emission control strategy (MVECS) to avoid deterioration of environment resulting from increase of vehicles after 2010. For details. see Annex 3. Vehicles must be inspected annually and randomly: the vehicles of high noise and emission which are beyond standard must be brought under control within the specified time. The vehicles of high noise and emission which are beyond standard must not run. Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center will carry out monitoring of noise, air, vibration and surface water related to the project. 5 PLAN OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT The'-administrative institutions shall be staffed by one or two full-time environmental protection personnel to ensure the responsibility of daily management, accepting complaints concerning environmental impact. handling pollution cases as well as controlling and coordinating the monitoring activities on motor vehicles emission and traffic noise which are conducted by Anshan Environment Monitoring Center and Anshan Vehicle Inspecting Station. The project shall be managed successively by ARPO during the phase of construction and b. Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment the AUCB in the operational phase.

The program has established a skeleton of urban traffic network shown in Fig.2-2. It is a rapid speed road system like the Chinese letter " 4l". Based on this skeleton, supported by some corridors and combining a number of branch ways, Anshan's chessboardwise and radiated road network will be formed in the future. As a part of outer frame -"1 (outer circle road ), the South Ring Road, West Ring Road and North Ring Road were principally implemented. The roads at four ends of "+" from "fp" (east, south, west and north of the city ) were also finished (see Fig.2-2). The project mainly concerns the -t" skeleton which is the key part for realization of Anshan Urban Traffic Development Program. 15 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Fig.2-1 Road Traffic Status and Environmental Monitoring Points of Anshan s noffice points of Ansha -Sat Laodo Road rg 14A Anshon /ULishan District Iron & Steel Complex/ Xiaodonegat poiwt ponnt / Hn g d Tiexi // Oianshan Dst Tiedong 219 Park District 9 points of9Anshg 167 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Fig.2-2 Planned Sketch for Anshan Future Traffic Network to Shenyang to Liaoyang K1 to Datian to Haicheng to Longchang to Xiabahui Fig,2-2 Planned sketch for AnshaQn future traff ic network Competed Main trunk ----- - PlnnedSub trunk, PtannedBranch and Highway _______0 1 2 3km Reconstruction 17 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 2.1.3 Preferred Alignment and Alternatives 2.1.3.1 Preferred Alignment The project which shall involve a road section of 18.87 km in total length, includes Jianguo Road's (south-north) widening and extension to north: construction of Hebei Road to connect the northern exit of the city; widening and reconstruction of Huangang Road (east-west) and Yongchang Street (east-west): construction of Wuyi Road Interchange as main crossing at the meeting point of Huangang Road with Yongchang Street- widening, reconstruction and extension to south of Yuanlin Road and Zhonghua Road to connect South Ring Road which will be extended to east; movement (required by widening of Jianguo Road) of tram line (now located at Jianguo Road and its west side) to the west close to Zhongchang Railway.

The related road with a total length of 4.2 km and a width of 17 m will be constructed over the original tram line. Two direction-limited interchanges will be built up at Lishan Underpass and Guangming Street (east gate of AISC ) to solve the problem of motor vehicle traffic of AISC. Another interchange of same type will be erected at Heping Road to connect the related road with roads to city center. The main function of the related road is to facilitate motor vehicles traffic between all districts of the city. The present northern Jianguo Road keeps unchanged, serving as a special route for public omnibuses. b) Hebei Road Alternative (B) According to the preferred alignment, the Hebei Road connecting Laodong Road with Shengli Road is a new construction going through the present single-story-house residential zone. The alternative suggests that the existing Shahe Street on the north of the zone replaces the Hebei Road. The beginning of Shahe Street is the north of and 250 m apart from proposed Hebei Road. The Shahe Street goes 814 m in the direction of northeast, turns with a length of 615 m to southeast and then meets Shengli Road. It connects also Jiancai Street which is planned to be built on the east of Shengli Road. The alternative requires reasonable reconstruction of Shahe Street. distance from red lines shall be 30 m and width of road without separation strip shall be 15 m (See Fig.2-3). c)' South Ring Road Alternative (C) According to the preferred alignment, a section of South Ring Road (the Glass Factory -- Yuanlin Road) will pass through the Zhendong Metal Structure Factory. According to the alternative, this sectionwill be a detour on the south of the plant where Yuanlin Road makes a curve (See Fig.2-3). d) Shahe River Bridge Allernative (D) The'-preferred alignment determines demolition of Shahe River Bridge (Laodong Road Bridge ) and build-up of a neix one at the same place.

The Zhongchang Railway passes the city from south to north and the Shenyang-Dalian Expressway passes the city in the western. There is an air port on the southwest of the ciV where the flight to Beijing. Guangzhou, Fushan, Huizhou etc. is available. Fig. 1-1 shows the geographical position of Anshan. The Qianshan Mountain is located on the east of the city. On the west, Anshan is conjunct with the alluvial plain via rivers of Liaohe, Hunhe and Taizihe. The southeast part of the city is higher while the northwest part is lower. Elevation of construction sections of the project is between 25.8 m and 57.6 m. From N-E to S-W, the thickness of underground base rock covered mainly by the sediment of Quaternary System varies gradually greater (from 20 in to 55 in). The baserock in the north of Anshan railway station consists principally of Liaohe group of strata while in the south of Anshan railway station mainly of limestone of Cambrian System. The following shows the sequence of baserock distribution from N-E to S-W. * Granite of Archaean Era * Metamorphous feldspar-silicarenite, dimicaceous-schist and sericite-schist of Liaohe group of strata * Sinian System silicarenite and Cambrian System limestone with intercalation of dolomite limestone, marlite and shale The underground water is of the following kinds: * Perched water over the sediment of Quaternary System * Baserock crevice water * Karst fracture water The underground water is principally of calcium bicarbonate type with a mineralization degree of less than Ig/L, supplemented by precipitation and subsurface flows, applied in the way of pumping. 3.2 Biophysical Environment 3.2.1 Meteorology and Climate Anshan City is located in the warm temperate region of continental monsoon climate. In summer, south wind is dominant. temperature is rather high, air is humid and rain occurs often. In winter that lasts as long as 6 months, north wind is dominant, temperature is low and there is few precipitation. In spring. it is dry and windy, sunshine time is long, evaporativity is 28 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment high and humidity is low. The autumn is short and pleasantly cool, wind and rain occur now and then. Meteorological parameters collected in recent years are shown in Table 3-1.

The measurements were conducted in two stages. one in October and the other in December 1996. 3 continuous days were taken at each stage. The starting time each day was at 7:30, 9:00, 12:00, 17:00. 19:00, 23:00. Automatic noise level meter has been adopted. The results of measurement are summarized in Table 3-3. Measurement results of present noise level is shown in Fig.3-3 and exceedance over standard of different sensitive points is shown in Fig3-4. Table 3-3 shows that tte noise level at sensitive points exceeds the standard very seriously at night time (max. excess 15.3 dB). The present noise pollution.is also most serious at night. 3.2.2.2 Vibration According to the requirement of EIA program and the review comments, Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center has conducted vibration measurement at 7:30, 12:00, 17:00, 23:00 on Oct.28,1996 and Dec.28.1996, using HE 5931 vibrometer. Measurement point was selected in front of main building of Anshan Employees University which is located in the east of Jianguo Road (see Fig.2-1). The results of measurement are shown in Table 3-4. Table 3-4 Results of Vibration Measurement Date Time VLz,o (dB) Excess over standard 7:30 74 Within standard Oct.28.1996 12:00 75 Within standard 17:00 73 Within standard 23:00 72 Within standard 7:30 77 2 dB Dec.28,1996 12:00 77 2 dB 17:00 75 Within standard 23:00 72 Within standard Table 3-4 demonstrates that there is no excess vibration except VLzio value that exceeds 2 dB when monitoring at 7:30 and 12:00. This means the motor vehicles produce less vibration influence to sensitive points at both roadsides. 3.2.3 Air Quality Anshan is a heavy industrial city and its air pollution is more severe. Among the industrial enterprises, Anshan Iron and Steel Co. is the largest air pollution source. The emission of smoke and dust, SO2, NOx, and CO have separately made up 63%, 81%, 92% and 87% of the whole city. The emission of exhaust gas from main air pollution sources of the whole city is 168432.6 Mm 3/a while the emission of the above pollutants are 185100 t/a, 78100 t/a, 57800 t/a and 7000 t/a separately. 32 Linoning Lrban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Table 3-3 Leq and Excess Value Accordi g to Measurement of Present Noise Level with Project NQ Name of measurement point Distance to road Code of road Leg (dB) Stand rd (dB) Excess over stand rd (dB) center (m) section Peak hour Day Night Day Night Peak Hour Day Night 1 Glass factor< 20 1-1 71.8 67.5 64.0 70 55 1.8 - 9.0 2 Nanchanudian Prinar\ School 15 1-2 75.0 71.6 64.0 70 55 5.0 1.6 9.0 1 1)onuchunLdian Residential nuarler 7.5 1-3 75.0 71.3 64.1 70 55 5.0 1.3 9.1 1 Yilu Primar% School 15 2-1 72.6 70.6 67.2 70 55 2.6 0.6 12.2 5 \lS( I w-inverinu CoicLe IS 2-3 68.3 67.0 63.8 70 55 - - 8.8 S I Icli Roaid KRe idollial QIrICI 3-1 - 72.1 55.4 55 45 - 17.9 10.4 I aodonL Road Priimar\ Sehool 15 3-2 74.7 74.2 67.7 70 55 4.7 4.2 12.7 8 \11<( ( hemical Plant Ol 15 3-3 70.9 68.3 63.3 70 55 0.9 - 8.3 9 \nhan I nploicc k ilersit\ 15 3-4 76.2 74.6 70.3 70 55 6.2 4.6 15.3 10 AISC Dail\ 10 3-4 75.9 72.1 66.1 70 55 5.9 2.1 11.1 II .icshkhan Street Residential Quarter 20 3-5 73.7 72.6 68.8 70 55 3.7 2.6 13.8 12 Shengli AssemblI lall 25 Shengli Rd.

(mg/M3); C - Percentage of samples exceeding standards (%). It can be known from the above table that the air quality of the contrast place (219 Park) is fairly good; the excess rate of daily average value of SO2 in the urban area is 10%; there are excess phenomena in hourly and daily average values of NOx; the CO value exceeds the standard in the dense traffic area (Minsheng Road Underpass) and the excess rate of the daily average value can reach 70%. The values of the above pollutants exceed the standard severely in AISC plant area (Sinter Plant and N9 2 Steelmaker). 3.2.3.2 Monitoring of Present Status For this environmental assessment, the air environmental quality monitoring was carried out at 8 monitoring points in the non-heating period (Oct.26 to Nov.1,1996) and the heating period (Dec.20 to 26,1996) by Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center on the basis of related national regulations. obtaining 8092 effective monitoring data. For the distribution of monitoring places see Fig.2-1. For the monitoring statistical results see Table 3-6 to Table 3- 9, Fig.3-5 and Fig.3-6. All the above tables perform "Air Environmental Quality Standard" GB3095-1996, formally executed on Oct.1, 1996. It can be seen from the monitoring results that Anshan air environmental quality is poor. the hourly concentration of all pollution factors has exceeded the standard, the daily average values have exceeded the standard, in which the excess rates of HC and B[a]P are 100%. 3.2.4 Surface Water Quality This project is only involved with South Shahe River in the north of Anshan urban area. This river is a seasonal one, taking its source at Qianshan Mountain in the southeast of Anshan. It mainly receives domestic sewage in the north of Anshan urban area and the treated industrial waste water of AISC Qidashan Concentrator and AISC north plant area. At present, the water is mainly used for the agricultural irrigation. 36 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-AInshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Table 3-6 Statistics of Hourly Monitoring Results of Air Pollutants (heating period) SO2 '10r CO HC Sample Percentage Percentage Percentage Percentage of location Concentration of samples Concentration ofsamples Concentration of samples Concentration samples number range exceeding range exceeding range exceeding range exceeding (mg/n) standards (mg/Rm) standards (mg/m') standards (mg/m') standards .(%) (%) () () Std. 0.5 0.15 10.0 3.0 1 0.01 -0.34 0.00 0.01 -0.31 7.94 1.2 - 10.0 0.00 0.96-2.49 0.00 2 0.01 -0.44 0.00 0.01 - 0.35 7.94 1.2 -10.9 0.79 1.03-3.01 3.57 3 0.01 -0.55 0.79 0.03 -0.63 57.14 1.2 -9.0 0.00 1.34-4.61 7.14 4 0.01 -0.49 0.00 0,02 - 0.56 11.11 1.2 - 15.6 3.17 1.06-2.90 0.00 5 0.01 -0.40 0.00 0.02 --0.72 11.11 1.2 - 14.0 0.79 1.01 -3.17 3.57 6 0.01 - 0.491 0.00 0.02 -.0.68 38.89 1.2 - 16.1 2.38 1.23 -4.70 10.71 7 0.01 -0.71 2.34 0.0 1 -0.62 23.02 1.2 -21.2 0.79 1.35 -2.69 0.00 8 0.01 -0.37 0.00 0.01 - 0.23 7.14 1.2- 10.4 0.79 1.25-2.13 0.00 Table 3-7 Statistics of Hourly Monitoring Results of Air Pollutants (no -heating period) SO2 NOx CO HC Sample Percentage Percentage Percentage Percentage location Concentration of samples ( oncentration of samples Concentration of samples Concentration of samples number range exceeding range exceeding range exceeding range exceeding (mg/rm) standards (mglm') standards (mg/m) standards (mg/m) standards (%) (%) (%) (%) Std. 0.5 0.15 10.0 3.0 1 0.01 -0.32 0.00 0.02 --0.72 11.90 1.2 -6.9 0.00 2.55 - 10.15 85.72 2 0.01- 0.27 0.00 0.01 - 0.45 8.73 1.2 - 28.5 2.38 2.66- 13.01 89,29 3 0.01 -0.43 0.00 0.)

On the eastern side there areiresidential houses andshops Park_Good __ualit__brown_soi_ Due to construction and reconstruction engineering, the soil within the city area was mixed with a lot of lime, brick fragment. daylife rubbish such as stove slag etc. which made the soil being of high porosity and low water & fertilizer conserving ability. Under the influence of AISC and other old enterprises the soil and water were polluted to certain extent. The uncovered soil in assessment zones was also polluted to different extent because of precipitation and dust falling. But in general, the investigated soil is not polluted by the land -users except that (polluted by oil) used by the Machinery Repair Plant of AISC Construction Co. and two small-sized private motorcycle repair shops. In addition of infrastructure, three public parking stations (Hunan station, People's Park station, station in front of railway station) and anew bus depot (No.16 line bus) shall be set bing hplaces poccupid long to land reserved for urban construction application, mainly with ground surface of cement or asphalt and occasionally with some buildings. According to site survey and investigation, the soil is not polluted by land users and the land is used for .public applications. The heavy repair of Hongqi Road will be carried out on the basis of road's original foundation and shall not bring change of original land application. 3.2.5.2 Assessment of Vegetation Present Status On-site prospecting and investigation of vegetation along both project's roadsides have been conducted. The results in details are shown in Table 3-13. Table 3-13 shows a good present status of vegetation along both project's roadsides that flowers, grass, trees or shrubbery are planted at places where the planting is feasible. Among tl& trees, poplar and willow are dominant. Over 60% of the trees are 25 years old or olderf which lost branches during heavy rainfalls and winds. Typically trees over 25 years will be cut and replaced with young trees in Anshan City. In the construction of parking stations and bus depot, no green land and trees are related. In the engineering of Hongqi Road reconstruction (road widening), near 100 trees (more than 20 years old) shall be cut down which takes 50% of trees already available. 42 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Table 3-13 Present Status of Vegetation Age of Tree Road Name Poplar Willow Chinese Pine Maple Fruit Other Area of lawn code ofroad scholartree tree tree (m) >25 10-15 <5 >25 10-15 <5 >25 <5 <5 <5 <5 <5 1-1 South Ring 60 15 20 5 2 1-2 Zhonghua 37 1-3 Yuanlin 486 124 120 80 20 2-1 Huangang 245 203 167 28 20 270 2-2 Wuvi Road 96 100 14 Interchange 2-3 Yongchang 450 1 100 20 10 70 205 2850 3-1 Hebei 57 42 78 30 25 3-2 Laodong 35 358 15 3-3 541 139 31 843 383 69 281 87 451 70 10925 3-4 Jianguo 3-5 256 30 267 255 50 12 28 1750 3-6 Total 2263 653 198 1814 782 139 10 72 518 115 496 70 15795 Note: Area of nurseries at Huangang road is 6500 m2 ( trees below% 5 \cars). 3.3 Socio-economic Environment For social environment survey related to JRR, see Table 3-14.

The Qianjin Primary School is located on luangang Rd. (2-1-3). 474 pupils study in the old and poorly equipped building suffer from the noise produced by the neighbouring AISC's railwaN line and the -as leaka,_!e emitted from the niorth\,ard uas container. 49 Liaoning Irban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment The Wuyi Road Primary School is located on the south side of Yongchang Street (2-3). with its side gate being vertical to Yongchang Street. Two thirds of its 960 pupils live in the residential area south to the school and 156 teachers and pupils go to school by bicycle. Na 15 Middle School and Gangdu Primary School lie on the north side of Yongchang Street (2-3-2). The former's gate faces Yongchang Street and fortunately the teaching building is over 50 m away from the road. Lying on the east side of Zhonghua Road, the latter is far away from the Yongchang Street. 420 teachers and students have to make left-turning to get into the school. The Laodong Road Primary School is located on the west side of Laodong Rd. (3-2-1), 100 m north to the Shuiyual St.. The school gate is 12 m away from the existing road, and the teaching building is 30 m away from the gate. Two thirds of its 1150 pupils live in the residential area east of Laodong Rd..There is a Lishan Wholesale Market 50 m south to the school, most customers are residents dwelling in the southward residential area of Laodong Rd.. Most traffic occurred in front of the school is right-turning traffic, no traffic control facilities are currently available in front of the school and market. The N2 2 Kindergarten of AISC, which is located on the Wuyi Rd. (2-2) and has 260 kids, mainly provide nursing service to children of nearby AISC employees. It shall be relocated because the proposed Wuyi Rd. Interchange will run through the existing kindergarten. The hospital of Grain Bureau is located on the west side of Jianguo Rd. (3-5-2) and is, at minimum, 5m away from the existing road. The wards are located on the second floor, housing 26 hospital beds, among which 4 beds face the road and 13 beds are idle. 3.3.4 Distribution of Plants, Scientific Research Institutions, Stores and Hotels There are 15 factories, 2 scientific research institutions, 3 stores and 6 hotels along the proposed road.

The tramcar pass the area on east side of the square. The Long-distance Buses Station ( travel to other cities) is located on south side of the square. Currently, many local buses and long-distance buses pass this area everyday. During the peak hours. a lot of commuters pass this area. which make this area a concentrated place of pedestrians and vehicles. The underground market located on the east side of the square has a passage leading to the Railway Station Square which. for some reasons. functions not efficiently. (2) Main gates ofACIS About 60 to 70 percent of the 200000 employees of AISC work in the main plant area. 70 percent of the AISC traffic \olUne is completed through .ianguo Rd.. and all the gates are within the proposed road seclions. Because of the significant traffic volume (person flow of 20000 and motor vehicle tlo\\ of 500 veh. during peak hours) occurring at the intersections adjacent to AISC gates. traffic jam is not a rare scene at these points. During the peak hours. what is worse. the jams even spread to neighbouring intersections. For the distribution of gates f .\ISC and current situation of their relevant intersections see SI Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Fig.3-7 and Table 3-26.

"TOR approved by the World Bank and the concern of the public. * Noise and Vibration * Air Quality * Water Quality * Landscape and Ecology * Socio-economic Components * Sunshine * Alternatives The patterns below shall be followed to the best of Author's ability (in construction and operation). * Approach and Methodology * Vehicle Emissions Inventory * Impact Analysis * Mitigation * Residual Impact The impact of preferred alignment and alternatives on environmental, with or without project. were described and compared. 4.2 Impact Analysis of Noise and Vibration 4.2.1 Approach 4.2.1.1 Noise The speed of motor vehicles ill. upon the completion of the project, reach 38.49 km/h. as compared to existing 33.76 km. h. The project will ease the traffic jam significantly. however. the noise pollution will be worsened due to the increase of speed. Prediction on noise impact w as made. which is based on the FHWA and corrected in accordance with the actual conditions. After completion of JRR project. the road is w% idened. most lanes are separated and the levelness of road is extraordinarill improved \\hich decrease the frequency of stop-start of vehicles. The noise produced \ ehicle tra%cling at higher speed shall therefore also be reduced. See Table 4-1 for prediction model. The analyses include: * Noise analysis in the lear of 2010. mith project 53 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment * Noise analysis in the vear of 2010. without project * Noise level comparison in the year of 2010. with vs without the project * Noise analysis of alternatixes * Noise analysis of interchange * Noise analysis of line changing of street car 's Noise analysis of sensitive points Table 4-1 Prediction Model Component Model type Assumptions Modifications Noise US federal Highways Administration Traffic %olume as per MVA study. Modified parameters based on Model (FHWA) Viaduct and ground leel traftic Chinese regulatory requirements 4.2.1.2 Vibration k As mentioned hereinbefore, there are two schemes for the project, i.e., widening and elevating schemes. The latter will produce more vibration, therefore more impact than the former. The proposed elevated road lies on the west side of Jianguo Road, 50 m away from the nearest sensitive points. So. the elevated road will produce very little impact on sensitive area. The monitoring on current status shows that the vibration level of Jianguo Road at different time period didn't exceed the limit. As required by "Outline Environment Impact Analysis" and its review provided by State Bureau of Environmental Protection, the impact analysis on vibration in current and operational phases shall be made, the prediction calculation on traffic vibration is left out of consideration. 4.2.2 Pollution Sources Inventory 4.2.2.1 Noise Source Inventory a) Construction phase The equipment employed in the project have a great variety, as shown in Table 4-2. The JRR project is now being under the phase of feasibility study. The construction schedule and construction team are not decided yet. Table 4-2 shows possibilities of schedule and team choice as well as equipment which shall be used in the construction. Some equipment are only for reference because they shall not definitely be used in the future. As indicated in Table 4-7, the noise levels at 50 m from the construction equipment exceed the night standard (55 dB). Because the roads to be constructed are adjacent to the residential buildings, these equipment is forbidden at night. b) Operational phase The design speeds of vehicles on different road sections are graded as 40, 60 and 80 km/h. The Table 4-3 shows the noise levels of vehicles under three speeds. 54 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 4.2.2.2 Vibration Noise Inventory a) Construction phase Most of the equipment that are to be used in the project are heavy duty equipment, which will, while operating. vibrate evidently and produce big impact on the environment. Given below are the vibration levels of some typical equipment on operating duty. See Table 4-4.

"Noise Standard for Boundaries of Construction Sites" GB12523-90, was adopted. For the noise limit in different construction phase, see Table 4-6. Table 4-6 Noise Standard for Boundaries of Construction Sites Construction Major noise sources Noise limit (dB) phase Day Night Earth work Bull-dozer, excavator, loader 75 55 Piling Pile driver 85 / Concrete mixer, vibro tamper, electric saw 70 55 Finishing Crane, elevator 65 55 (2) Impact analysis According to Table 4-2 and GB12523-90, the noise levels at different distance (5-50 m) from equipment and its exceedance over the standard are shown in Table 4-7. The exceedance over standard listed in Table 4-7 is referred to noise level over standard at the place 50 m from the construction equipment. Exceedance over standard is 1-23 dB at night and 1- 9 dB in the daytime. So all the equipment listed in Table 4-7 is not acceptable at night (22:00-06:00) and is acceptable in daytime except generator, impact driver, concrete mixer, wheel crane, pneumatic hammer and rock drill. b) Impact analysis of vibration in construction phase As indicated in Table 4-4, the max. vibration at distance 10-20 m from the equipment is 76- 80 dB, which exceed the daytime standard by 1-5 dB, and the nighttime standard by 4-8 dB. Vibration impact is more harmful at night. Since the equipment listed in Table 4-4 are 56 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment seldom used at night and the usage of impact piling machine, vibro-road roller etc. is forbidden at night, impact of vibration on residents in th- day time shall mainly be taken into consideration.

Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Table 4-9 shows that noise level on both road sides after completion of JRR will mostly exceed the standard, see Table 4-10 and Fig.4-2. According to "Environmental Noise Standard ofAnshan Cit'v ". all the noise levels beside the red lines of all sections except some in peak hours and daytime. exceed the standard. The piak hour noise level exceeds the standard IV by 0.7 - 9.6 dB, the daytime noise level exceed the standard IV by 0.2 - 8.8 dB, the nighttime noise level exceeds the standard IV by 3.3 - 13.1 dB. Almost all the noise level of difference zones within 20 ~ 100 m of the road exceed the standard to large extent. The section that suffers the most serious noise is Section 3-5, whose noise level exceeds the standard by 14.8 dB in peak hours, 14.0 dB in daytime and 14.4 dB in- nighttime. ( Noise prediction analysis in the year of 2010 without project The model employed prediction points selected and prediction period selected in the year of 2010, without project are exactly the same as that of the year of 2010, with project. For the prediction results see Table 4-11 and Fig.4-3. As Table 4-11 shows, with the project, the noise levels of the area near the red line, except that of section 2-3 South Shengli Road and North Shengli Road, exceed the standard. Without the project, the noise levels in difference zones within 20-100m of the road is similar to that of with project. ( Noise level in the year of 2010. with vs. without project Comparison was made based on the prediction results. The values' in the Table 4-12 and Fig.4-4 were the difference of with vs without project. The purpose of predicting the noise levels of South Shengli Road, North Shengli Road and Renmin Road that are out of the scope of the project is to demonstrate the impact of the project on the road of the city. We can conclude that in the year of 2010. The noise levels of South Shengli Road and Renmin Road during the day and at night, with project, are decreased by 2.1 and 1.6 dB, the max. respectively, as compared to that of without project, which shows that the project has good impact on the urban area. South Shengli Road and Renmin Road are chosen to represent other non-project roads. After completion of JRR project, vehicles on other roads such as South Shengli Road and Renmin Road shall be attracted to travel on the project road. Traffic flow and noise level from vehicle on other roads shall be reduced. Therefore, the overall noise level in the city on traffic trunks shall be accordingly decreased. The noise level of section 1-2, with project is lower than that without project. There are three reasons of serious status of noise level on road section 1-2 (extension of Zhonghua Road) vehicles on Yuanlin Road have to pass this section to enter South Ring Road, vehicles traveling on this section are most of heavy-duty ones (there are many plants in this zone); high frequency of stop-start of vehicle due to bad road paving. The noise level of section 3-4 at nighttime, with project, is lower than that without project. 62 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environiental Impact Assessment Table 4-1I 2010 Traffic Noise Prediction Res It of Every Section without Project (dB) itenC Section I-1 1-2 13 2-1 2-3 3-2 33 3-4 3-4 3-5 Shengli Rd.

The corresponding mitigation measures have been proposed in EIA. J Noise impact analysis of alternative scheme The elevated road. proposed to be built between Wuyi Road Interchange and Lishan Street Viaduct. locates on the west side of the existing Jianguo Road. on the west side of which runs the Zhongchang Railway and lies the Anshan Iron & Steel Complex. Its smallest distance from the first row of building in the sensitive zones is 50 m. To compare the noise prediction results of the elevated road with that of ground road. the prediction points for noise were set with distance of 50 m, 60. 70. 80. 100 and 150 m. For the noise levels comparison of both schemes, in the year of 2010, see Table 4-13. Table 4-13 Noise Levels Comparison of Preferred Alig ment and Alternatives (dB) Distance from Section Lishan Street-Xia dong gate Viaduct Xiaodongmen-Wuyi Road Interchange the red line (m) scheme Elevated road Ground road Elevated road Ground road Peak hour 78.1 77.4 78.7 78.5 0 .

The reason is that. in the elevating scheme. the existing Jianguo Road will remain in service. besides. the traffic flow will increase by a big margin compared to that of ground road. Therefore. the widening scheme is better than the elevating scheme in terms of noise level. 6.Noise impact analysis of interchange and viaducts The noise impact of interchange and viaducts proposed in the project, namely Wu- i Road Interchange. Minsheng Road Viaduct and Lishan Street Viaduct, was predicted. with the prediction point on the first row% of building around the interchange and viaduct. For details see Table 4-14. 67 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Table 4-14 Noise at the First Row of Building Around Interchange (dB) Name of interchange Peak hour Daytime Nighttime Hk ith Without H ith Without With Without Wuxi Road Interchange No.5 76.5 '9.7 75.7 69.7 65.7 Lishan Street Viaduct 79.4 75.6 78.6 74.8 68.7 64.7 Minsheng Road Viaduct "9.9 75.1 79?. 1 72.9 69.5 62.2 As indicated in the prediction, the interchange area suffer more noise pollution. 9 Analysis of noise impact brought out by the tramcar line changing The tramcar line to be changed starts from Anshan Railway Station and ends at the meeting point of Laodong- Road with Ligong Street, the length totaling 5200 m. The noise levels before and after changing the line remain the same. Residential area is on the east side of the project road. As the tramcar line is moved 5-60 m westwards. the tramcar line is far away from sensitive points on the east side of Jianguo Road.. The section of tramcar line (Lishan Underpass-Ligong Street) will be moved from Laodong Road to Anquan Street. The existing track is 6 m away from the first row of buildings on roadsides, the distance will be increased to 12-15 m after the moving. On the both sides of Laodong RoaU, there are residential areas. On the east side of Anquan Street, there are residential areas while on its west side there are Changda railway and AISC plant area. Therefore, the residents affected by traffic noise shall be reduced if the tramcar line is moved to Anquan Street. The noise pollution is accordingly transferred to area neighboring Anquan Street. The noise impact imposed on the first row of building at Laodong Road and Anquan Street by tramcar are shown in Table 4-15. Table 4-15 Noise impact of Tramcar along Laodong Road and Anguan Street Leq, I m away Leg at the first row of building along the road Time section from the track of Laodong Road Anquan Road tramcar (without project) (with project) During tramcar traveling 76.0 60.4 54.4 ,As shown in Table 4-15, the residents dwelling along Anquan Street suffer less noise impact than the current residents dwelling along Laodong Road after the tramline is moved. Although the noise pollution at Anquan Street will be more serious, the line changing project, from the point of view of whole city's road network. will reduce the range and extent of noise impact on the city. Noise impact analysis. As mentioned above, the tramcar line will be moved westwards for 5 to 60 meters to run parallel with Changda railway line. Starting from Lishan Underpass, the tramline on Laodong Road will be changed to Anquan Street. The running tramcars produce point-source of noise. The tram car line, without project, is close to the noise sensitive area along Jianguo Road and produce large impact on the area. The noise impact of tramcar is left out of consideration in the noise impact prediction without project, therefore, the predicted value, without project, is lower than that under actual 68 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment condition. The tramcar. with pro ject. will produce less impact on most sections as the moved line is far away from the noise sensitive area. So its noise impact can be neglected. In all. the line changing project "\ill play an actiNe role in mitigating the noise pollution and improving the acoustic en% ironient of noise sensitive area along the road. Noise impact analysis of selsitive point The sensitive points are mainl consisted of residential buildings. schools. hospitals and administrative buildings etc.. The noise levels & its exceedance over standard and locations of sensitive points in the year 2010 are shown in Table 4-16. Fig.4-5 and Fig.4-6.

The status of noise levels exceeding standard at sensiti-c points shown in Table 4-16 is referred to the place in front of and I m from building. Since the sensitive points belong to areas of different functions. the exceedance of noise le\els over standard is different. The table shows the exceedance o' noise levels is more serious at night than in the daNtime. but the noise impact at night on schools and offices is not important because nobody is living or working there at night. Due to double glazing of \\indo\ which can somew,hat stem noise impact. the residential buildings and offices shall be inflUenced more slight h i no"se in w ter than in summer.

The project, which comprises dominantly of widening and new building of ground roads. will produce less impact on surrounding environment. With respect to the "Outline Environmental Impact Assessment' and its review. no prediction and analysis on vibration impact shall be made. The vibration prouced by running motor vehicles. in brief, will not exert big impact on surrounding environment after the project is completed and put into operation. 4.2.4 Mitigation 4.2.4.1 Construction Phase a) Noise mitigation in construction During road construction most of the noise generated shall exceed the specific figures in the Noise Standard on construction site. Because the noise is inevitable during the construction, in order to reduce the noise impact on the surrounding environment, the following measures shall be taken to mitigate the impact. (1) No operation of equipment such as, impact piling machine, pneumatic hammer, drill etc. which generate high noise is allowed at night (22:00--6:00 next day). (2) Low noise equipment or equipment with acoustic device shall be used and the impact piling machine, generator etc. shall be equipped with muffler. (3) The construction department should make good arrangement for construction time and site. The high noise equipment should be placed far from the sensitive area and maintained periodically to ensure the operation of the equipment. (4) A temporary sound isolating fence structure or sound absorbing and isolating barrier must be installed at the site which is seriously affected by the noise produced by the construction machinery to minimize the noise pollution to the surrounding areas. The fence structure must be adopted to isolate noise when construction is carried out near Wuyi Road Primary School, Old People Palace, etc. which are the sound environment protection objects. (5) Some building structures should be precast in the proper place outside of the urban area as much as possible, then be brought to the site for installation. During construction of Wuyi Road and Minsheng Road Interchanges, the large precast structures should be mainly installed at site. b) Vibration mitigation in construction phase To mitigate the vibration affecting the surrounding environment in construction phase, the 72 Liaoning I rhan I ransport Project-An.han Subproject EnvironmentAl Impact Assessment construction department must take the following measUis. (1) The construction department must apply to the environmental authority for using heavy construction equipment especially high vibration equipment. The construction cannot be started until the approval is obtained. (-2) No operation of high vibration equipment. such as piling machine. etc. is allowed from 22 o'clock till 6 o'clock next morninu. (3) The low vibration equipment hould be used and be maintained periodically to ensure the good operation conditions. 4) The operation hours of W11 con.truction machiner- %hich may cause vibration must be limited from 6:00~-2.0. If the operation hours are intended to prolong, it is necessary to obtain the approval of relevant enx ironment authoritN. 4.2.4.2 Mitigation in Operational phase a) NOiSC MitiLgLriOl in operaCiti pI J)hOUW The traffic flow in most sections of reconstructed or new road and the speed of automobiles shall be increased greatly and the sound enN ironment alone the road shal! be chanued. It can be seen from the noise prediction and the comparison of with vs without project. that the traffic noise along the road shall be increased ano the impact on the schools, kindergartens. hospitals, institutions and residents along the road shall be more serious. Theretbre the following measures are proposed to be taken. 1) Enhancing trl/iC comprewJe011 control in ite cit I Intensify the manauement and execution of law.'.s. The departments of public securit . CoMmunication and environmental protection shall work closely. implement environmental protection criteria. law\s and rules issued by national and locaPeovernment and enforce the lazi's strictl\.. '> Strengthen traffic comprehensive control in the city and improve traffic order The obsolete and old motor vehicle over service life must be eliminated and scrapped in a planned way. The tractors must be strictly controlled for enterint into the urban area. No homing is allowed in the urban area. Remove obstacles on the road. minimize the tralfic interference in length and breadth and reduce the traffic noise produced h start or stop of automobile. Appoint a special lane for freiLht xAhicle to reduce the area polluted by traffic noise. 73 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Complete the city traffic sNstem as soon as possible and build ring road to reduce the number of motor vehicle which enter into the urban area. Enhance noise monitoring and control of motor vehicle. The departments of public security and environmental protection should bring the noise control of vehicle into program of work. The noise of motor vehicle must be controlled by way of primary check, annual check and spot check in order to raise the annual check ratio of vehicle and ration of vehicles meeting noise standard. (2) Reasonable plan and arrangement for the land on boths ides ofroad © The planned distanie from the new buildings on both sides of the main line to the red line of road should be no less than 20 m. It is recommended to set up afforestation isolating zone in this area. Z For the reconstructed area where the newly built Hebei Road, Zhonghua Road and Yuanlin Road pass through, the configuration of buildings should be reasonably planned to comply with the regional environmental quality standard according to the requirements of division of area with different noise levels. 9 The first row buildings along the two sides of the trunk line are not suitable to be used for noise sensitive places such as schools, hospitals, kindergarten etc.. These organizations are not suitable to be built in 100 n from the red line of the road. The first row buildings along the road are suitable to be used as commercial shop. car parking, etc. which are not sensitive to noise. In this way, not only the land can be fully used, but also the noise impact on the sensitive objects can be reduced. (9 The first row buildings along the road should be parallel to the road. This may mitigate the impact of traffic noise on the buildings behind them. (3) Installation of noise barrier along the rcad The noise barrier shall be determined by the professional design institution. When making decision of barrier's location, type, and material etc., many factors such as neighboring buildings shape and noise level. road structure, weathering resistance and safety of barrier and landscape of the city shall be taken into consideration. According to the experiences at home and abroad. the noise barrier shall be installed on the two sides of elevated road. Based on engineering characteristic of JRR project, the following points are recommended. ( No noise barrier installation along the ground road The distance between sensitive objects greatly affected by the traffic noise and the first motor vehicle lane shall be over 15 m. Since the two sides of the road have very close connection, the residents along the road are not willing to obstruct the connection between two sides in accordance with the public opinions. The individual protection against noise of sensitive objects shall be adopted to minimize the traffic noise pollution instead of installation of noise 74 Liaoning Urban Transpoirt Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental impact Assessment barrier. %. Installation of noise barrier along elevated road The elevated road between WuPi Road Interchange and Lishan Interchange as an alternative of the desion shall be located io the west of Jian-uo Road. The distance bctween elevated -road and noise sensitive area 1, oer 50 rn. It can he seen from the prediction of traffic noise impact of the alternative that the traffic noise of the elexated road shall ha%e less impact on the sensitive area along the road. so the noise barrier is not recommended. Installation of noise barrier in iterchante area It can be known from thL resu1s oftraffic noise prediction in interchange area that the traffic noise impact in Wuvi Road Interchange is more serious. !he traffic noise at Wuyi Road Interchange has reached 79.7 dB in the da time and 60.7 dB during night. The traffic noise at Wuyi Road Interchange (about one meter in front of buildings ) has exceeded the standard of categon 4 noise zoning. The possible sections which shall be proN ided with noise barriers. length of the section. size of the barriers and protected objects are shown in Table 4-17 and Fig.4-7 through discussions with ARPO and Beijing General Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute.

On one hand, implementation of this option shall affect going & coming of residents and lighting, cut connections between both sides of the road; on the other hand, investment of this option is very high, 7200 Yuan RMB per running meter of 3-meter-high sound barrier. Sound-absorbing road Anshan City is a heavily industrial city with much dust and snowfall in winter, which shall result in clogging of sound-absorbing holes and then spoil sound-absorbing effect of sound- absorbing road. Cost of sound-absorption road is very high and no sound-absorption roads have been used successfully in the northeast of China. Separation belt for greening The distance between residential buildings and red line of the project road is 0-20 m. It is introduced that noise is reduced by only 3 dB for separation belt 50 m wide. Because no buffer zone over 50 m wide is on the both side of the project road, it is impossible to implement this option. 80 iUaonin2 Urban Transport Project- tnshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment The measures taken for xindo\s of residential buildin:. Residential buildings neighboring the project road are provided with double glazing windows. If widows are ensured to be enclosed in summer. the goal to reduce noise shall pe attained. In eneral. the double glazing windows hall make a noi>e difference of ouer 20 dB betw-een the indoor and the outdoor. In case of enclosed v\indows. residents neighboring the project road suffer from litle impact. inck-sed windows shall meet with the requirements to isolate sound and reduce noise impact. When windows are open for ventilation in summer. Indoor acoastic environment shall \%orsen. so noise reducine measures must be taken. Selection of'option.s After detailed analysis of options to reducc noise has been finished, it is khown that ;istallation of >aUnd barrier. Aound-absorbin- road and separation belt for yreening is impossible. Haviig di>2ussed with ARPO, it i deded that option 4 (enclosed windox\s is adopted. Detailed introduction to selet-ed option In order to implement this option. tie following two problems mu t be solved: (a). Enclosure of the windokvi: (b).ventilation. lwo noise reducinu allenatives are proposed based on numerous on-site surve\ s and ample discussions: Alternative i: Apply weathcrstripping and install the air-conditioners AlternaZive 2: Apply weatherstripping and install the .entilator. As suggested by the Anshan Project Office. I he au conditioners shall be installed householdwise. And the number ot'households shall be caiculated by multiplying the number of windows neighboring the protect road with a convertinu ratio which shall be 79.9"0 in accordance wN ith the site surve\ an d the opinion of the project office. For comparison of two alternati%es. see Table 4-23. It is settled through the negotiation that air conditioners. a. required by WB. shall be installed in the households neighboring the project road . for details ee Table 4-24.

S it Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment is required to take vibration protective measures into full consideration when designing the ground road. interchange and elevated road. Trafflc management must be enhanced to reduce vibration level generated by vehicle and decrease impact on the receptors along the road as much as possible. 4.2.5 Impact After Implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.2.5.1 Construction Phase During the construction of the project. the operation of mechanical equipment shall cause noise and vibration thus affecting the surrounding environment. Since the road construction is just a short term action, the impact of noise and vibration on the surrounding sensitive points is temporary. As longk as the construction team observes the construction rules and takes the mitigation measures, the impact generated by the construction equipment on the sensitive points in the surrounding area shall be effectively mitigated. The construction team must take practical measures to mitigate noise and vibration based on the features of construction and the distribution of sensitive points under the strict supervision of environmental protection and city construction departments. 4.2.5.2 Operational phase a) Noise (1) Analysis of sensitive point affected by noise Noise at most sensitive points in various noise areas along the project road shall exceed the standard. In Anshan, the buildings are provided with double glazing windows which isolate noise efficiently, thus being favorable to mitigate the noise impact on the sensitive points. The sensitive points such as Tianhe Mansion, Global Hotel, etc. shall be affected greatly by the traffic noise. However, these buildings are provided with better noise isolating facilities (glass enclosure. double glazing windows, air conditioners. etc. ) so that there is less impact on the inner living environment. The residential building, schools and hospitals neighboring the project road are important sensitive points in this project. The effective measures to reduce noise impact shall be taken, that is, air-conditioner shall be installed in the schools and hospitals and air-conditioner shall be installed in the residential buildings neighboring the project road. (2) Noise conditions of different sensitive points after realization of mitigation measures All the sensitive buildings in Anshan are provided with double glazing windows. Using double glazing windows is favorable to reduce noise impact. The following mitigation measures shall be taken for the noise sensitive points neighboring the project road: air-conditioners shall be installed in the schools and hospitals neighboring the project road exceeding the noise standard; air-conditioners shall be installed in the residential buildings neighboring the project road, sound barrier shall be installed on elevated 84 Liaoning t rban l ransport Project- knstnin ,ubproject En% ironmental Impact Assessient part on Yx ngeeane Street.

The total refers to the sum of pollutant contributive concentration of up and down lanes. In case of with JRR, the positive influence of elevated road is generally higher than the impact of preferred alignment. The concentrations of Point I ( northeast of Anshan Glassworks ) and Point 2 ( Lieshishan St. residential area ) with project are lower than that of without project. The concentrations of point 3 ( Tuanjie Primary School ). with and without the project, remains at the same level. The concentration of Point 4 ( Laodong Road Primary School ) with project is higher than that of without project. The concentration of Point 5 ( Bajiazi Subdistrict Office) with project is much lower than that of without project when the dominant wind is in south direction and is lightly higher than that of wkithout project when the dominant wind is in north direction because the road shall be changed to the north of the Point after the implementation of the project. North wind makes the concentrations of Point 2 and 3 high. the west wind maximize the concentration of point 2. and east and south wind maximize the concentration of Point 4 and 5. The predicted concentrations of CO, HC and NO2 are much lower than the environmental standard, while the max. Only NOx concentration predicted exceeds the standard. However. the hourly and daily average concentration of these three pollutants change in the same pattern at different points and under different wind directions. the CO is therefore selected for analyzing the impact on environment with and without JRR in 2010. The CO concentration difference in peak hours is shown in Table 4-34.

The research and implementation of MVECS of Anshan City is a part of technical assistance (TA) for MVECS of Liaoning urban transport project. For details, see Annex 3. On the basis of a clear understanding of issues facing Anshan City, the trends of motor vehicle growth and impact of the emissions on air quality and knowledge of motor vehicle emission control technologies and programs, a series of motor vehicle control measures will be developed as the core of the strategy. These measures will include, but not limited to: * stringent motor vehicle emission control standards and regulations * vehicle inspection and maintenance program * catalytic purification facilities * \engine improvement * retirement of aged vehicles * monitor and enforcing the motor vehicle emission standards * promote public transportation * increase motor vehicle speeds * motor vehicle quantity control in urban center * develop clean or alternative fuel technologies Means of technical assistance include: * consulting services * technical workshop * overseas study and inspection Working amount of technical assistance * local consultants 40 men.months * out-of-province consultants 15 men.months * workshop depending on completion of TOR of TA 94 Liaoning t rban l ransport Project-nshan Subproject Environnintal Irnjct AXsessnent * m2rsea st!dy and inpeecuon 2prsons aune i,i- liementing schedle of lA b commencement of MVECS dec elopment July 1 999 Scomnpletion o MVE-CS de, elopnment !uly 2001 ' idoption and imipieimet o f MIVE( S id '0021 Recoring on progre anrd..ly prir to 2002 * Reporting on perfonnance of NI VECS antially after 2002 b C Curre'nL - easures improven;er of environmenal protecaon rcg'ions According to the regulations in rhal ol Envinnnnenta Prtection of Anshan City friom 19N8 tn /J02 issued by the gvernment of Arsh (it (No. 26.

On other road seceons. the pollutants nxil be carried away by rainfall into river ch as South Shahe R er. N'it-ianghe Rik2r via the municipal scner netw'ork. Ke point of assessment is Iinact ot dornestic age on surIace w.ter. resulted b Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment construction team. The impact of JRR project on surface water will be assessed based on obserNation results of present condition of rivers (South Shahe River etc.) as well as on draining of waste water during construction phase and of pollutants during operational phase into rivers. Model of predicting the impact of domestic sewage which is used at site is taken from JTJ 005-96 "Specifications for Environment Impact Assessment of Highway (on trial)". 4.4.2 Impact Analysis 4.4.2.1 Construction Phase Sewage water during construction phase consists of domestic sewage drained by construction personnel and a small amount of leakage water from construction facilities. With reference to construction of similA bridges and condition in Anshan app. 80 workers who will live at site are estimated to conduct the construction of Laodong Bridge. According to aforementioned model, 2.31 m3 per day of domestic sewage shall be discharged directly into Nanshahe River. The sewage from other workers shall be drained into sewer network of the city. According to measuring statistics provided by Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center in recent years. daily average of industrial waste water and municipal domestic sewage drained into South Shahe River amounts up to 340.56 m 3/d. Therefore, the domestic sewage from construction personnel during construction phase has low incremental impact to water quality of South Shahe River because it is very small in quantity and especially doesn't contain any special pollutant. Waste water during construction phase is mainly the oil-bearing sewage produced by construction equipment because of oil leakage. It is very small in quantity and flows rarely into rivers. In addition, waste water includes the flushing water for sand and stone, overflow from agitator of paving material. Since the flushing and agitating will be done not in site and the flushing water will be reused, this part of waste water has no impact on quality of surface water. 4.4.2.2 Operational Phase Due to automobile troubles, traffic accidents and so on, gasoline or machine oil may be leaked on road surface during operational phase. When it rains, the rainfall will bring all the oils, dusts and pollutants into rivers via the sewer network. Table 3-11 (the present status of water quality of South Shahe River) indicates that the water quality of river at Laodong Bridge section is already far away from class V of the national surface water standard because of upstream pollution by industrial waste water and domestic sewage. The pollutants produced by traffic is much smaller in quantity in comparison with those from industrial waste water and domestic sewage. And after diluted by rainfall the sewage drainage from JRR project will not affect the water quality of South Shahe River. The rainfall runoff on the surface of other road sections will be collected in drainage ditches via the sewer network and finally flow into Yunlianghe River. Amount of pollutants discharged into rivers will almost be the same before and after JRR project. 98 1.1aoning I rban Transport Project- \n Ni Subprojet Environnental impact Xssessnent 4.4.3 Measures of Mitigation and Control of Pollutants 4.4.3.1 Mitigation and Controi during Construct:on Phase 8 Pro';ibit e' e. where wantn irainage f domede sen 've ischarge it exclusj\ ely into * the -u.cipai seu er netrk. • Pre -,ent Icl telakage., l ro,o stu:,:g ip en • Proposc to minimL: as mit,ihl a- p,ssibze the tir of ,ad construc ion. so the tine of * inLuence of ri\ er-crossibridc e constructin wil he '.horter.

The impact on soil and vegetation due to occupation of land by the project road will be described in following section. In the course of constuction. the work-site shed and warehouse for building materials will occupy land. Though the occupation which does not result in change of soil property and in cutting of trees will not last long at each road section. there shall still be short time change of land application and short time vegetation damage which can be restored in the future. 4.5.2.2 Analysis of Impact of JRR Project on Soil and Vegetation On the basis of investigation data of present situation and feasibility study of proposed project, it can be known from calculation that the project construction will occupy 44350 m2 of farm land and vegetable plot. This part of land is located at boundary between city and village and has been divided to land of urban application. That means the owners of land are not living by it. 15795 m2 of lawn and greenery patches and 6500 m2 of shelter forest and 7130 trees will be cut down, among which the trees over 25 years account for 60% approximately. Tree cutting quantity takes app. 70% of alongside trees. In the assessment, according to the size of tree, approximate calculation of actual greening effect of trees is made, big tree is computed in terms of 100% of greening area. middle tree 65%. small tree 10% and the newly planted tree 3.1%. the result of calculation is detailed in Table 4-35.

Because land in city is limited. there are many specific difficulties in raising greening area. In 100 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment order to reach the greening goal in the near future. the following mitigation measures are put forward in this environmental assessment specially. The space between planted trees along the road shall be half of the space (2.5 m) between adult trees. Several years or over ten years later those trees shall be spaced out or transplanted. On the basis of concrete condition of both sides of the road, the climbers, such as virginia creeper, wild grape and Chinese wisteria etc. can be planted on the available walls of buildings and piers of interchange etc. These plants can grow upwards, in this way perpendicular greening will be realized. About 15560 climbers shall be planted, totaling 5187 running meters. In order to make the environment green, some shade flower and plant shall be planted on the ground under the newly-constructed interchanges. According to the climate characteristics in this area. poplar and willow shall be chosen as trees that line a street. The above mentioned trees shall be planted in the following spring after the road completion. The construction shall be carried out section by section or side by side, so the raw material for temporary use can only occupy one or another section or section side of the road to avoid occupation of land which is not used for this purpose. By taking the above mitigation measures, after the implementation of this project. the greening effect of resuming ecology and vegetation is detailed in Table 4-36.

In the design of interchanges and viaducts, design institute have already paid attention to the problem of sunshine obstruction. In this assessment, the numerical modeling method will be adopted to evaluate the sunshine obstruction of JRR project. Coefficient ofsunshine distance l, lo = ctgh X cosy h = arcsin ( sin 4) X sin E +cos 4) X cost) t= 15 T + -300 Where: h - Sun height angle, deg; 4)- Latitude of Anshan City. deg; - Winter solstice declination, deg, y - Angle between building and sun position line. deg: T - Beijing time, o'clock: X - Longitude of Anshan City. Sunshine distance D D=H X 1o Where: H=Ho - H, Ho - Interchange height. m: H, - Distance from widow bottom of building's first floor to the ground surface, m; DR<D means sunshine obstruction. the other case means no obstruction. DR - distance from interchange to building, m.

With barrier and during construction phase. the sunshine level will generally be below the standard with few exceptions of such as Yongchang Street. Laodong Road etc.. 103 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 4.7 Social Environmental Impact Assessment 4.7.1 Approach and Methodology Investigation had been made from Nov.5th to Dec.20th to find out the environmental impact of the proposed project on roadside environment. During the period. large amount of information from subdistrict office. residents committee. industrial and commercials administration. enterprises and institutions, schools and hospitals etc. had been collected. particularly. sensitive points along main road sections had been investigated. In accordance with the current situation. traffic \ olume difference in construction and operational phases of the proposed project, sizes of to-be-built roads and interchanges and their impacts on sensitive points along the road. measures and had also been proposed to alleviate the impact. 4.7.2 Impact Analysis 4.7.2.1 Items impacted in construction phase * Travelling of pedestrians along both sides of project road. * Customers and motorless vehicles going in and out of markets * AISC employees coming and going through the gates. * Travelling of vehicles on S-N road and E-W road. a) Impact on traveling ofpedestrians Construction of road shall impose short-term impact on traveling of pedestrians along the both sides of the project road. Impact degree shall be different according to the construction scale of road sections and the distribution of residents. (1) In Bailou residential area (section 2-3-2) on the south of Shengli road and the east of Yongchang Street, the senior citizens over the age of 50 account for 56% of the total population there (see Table 3-16). Many people go to the People Park on the west side of the road in the morning and evening. About 100 pupils study in the school on the north side of the road. construction will affect traveling of over 400 people. (2) Most residents who live on the east side of Laodong Road (section 3-2-3) shall cross the road when shopping. Over 200 residents will be affected by the construction. (3) Changing tramear line at Jianguo Road (section 3-3) to the west will influence about 100 residents taking tramcar who live on the east side of the road. They will detour and ride other buses instead of tramcar. (4) Many residents who live on the east side and west sides of Yuanlin Road (section 1-3) go shopping to the market on the east side because the market on the west side is far away from the residential area. Construction will impose impact on over 200 residents who live on the west side and go shopping to the east market and less impact on residents live on the east side. (5) Residents who live on both sides of Yongchang Street which lies on the west side of Shengli Road can go shopping on their own side. but usually about 50 residents cross the street to go shopping and they will suffer impact of construction. On the west side of north section (3-3) of Jianguo Road there is AISC plant area. The 104 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment residents who live on the east side don't need to cross the road. On the west side of south section (3-5) of Jianguo Road there are warehouses and shops and is sparsely populated. The residents living on east side seldom cross the road. South Ring Road and Hebei Road are newly finished, most residents who lived in the area occupied by the project road have already moved to other areas before starting of construction, and residual residents can detour the roads in the village. Thus, construction shall impose less impact on the traveling of the residents who live in the section mentioned above. b) Impact on markets and entertainment place (1) Because both Erdao Street market and Sandao Street market are divided by Yongchang Street, construction.will impose impact on customers's traveling and thus on business of 12 peddlers on both sides of the road. (2) Every day about 300 handcarts and 500 trucks go to and out of Anshan Fruit Wholesale Market. Construction shall impose short-term impact on going into and out of the markets of MV, NMV and customers. (3) The Old People's Palace is located on the east side of North Jianguo Road and goods yards and shops are located on the west side, people who go into and out of the Old People's Palace can detour Qianjin Road or East Minsheng Road. (4) Since Dongning Market, Decorative Material Market, Vehicles Market, cold storage and Laodong Road Market etc. are of small size and far away from the project road and they almost have side gates, people can go to markets via the other roads. Less impact shall be imposed on NMV and customers going to and out of these markets. c) Impact on ingoing and outgoing ofAISC employees at some main gates There are 145000 AISC employees going to and from AISC every day, among which 12100 employees ride bicycle. Traffic flow is concentrated on the project road -- at front gate at North Jianguo Road, Heping gate, Xiaodong gate. Lishan Underpass and Xiaonan gate at Huangang Road. During the construction, traffic blocks will impose negative influence on AISC employees going to or going off work. d) Impacts on schools (1) About 700, 500, 80, 200 pupils cross the project road to go to N2 34 Middle School, Laodong Road primary School, Nq 15 Middle School and Wuyi Road Primary School respectively. The construction will impose great impact on these schools. (2) Most pupils can go to NQ 31 Middle School. Gangdu Primary School and Xishahe Primary School via other road instead of the project roads. Thus. the construction will impose little impact on these schools. (3) Qianjin Primary School is located on the south side of Huangang Road and there is no residential area on the north side. Qianjin Primary School shall move to the new building on the south side during construction. Nanchangdian Primary School is located on the east side of the project road and there is no residential area on the west side. Thus, the construction 105 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment will impose little impact on these schools. e) Impact on medical instituiions The medical institutions located in the area of EIA are either owned by enterprise or by district government, thus have few patients. As for a certain hospital. 20 patients max. per day have to cross the street to see a doctor. 4.7.2.2 Impact analysis in operational phase a) Outgoing and living quality ofresidents dwelling along the road (1) Impact on outoinu The widening of Jianguo Rd. and Huangang Rd. will not impose significant impact on the residents who live on the west side of Jianguo Rd. and south side of Huangang Rd. due to the fact that they rarely cross the road. Changing the line of tramcar will inconvenence the tramcar riders nearby. The residents who live on the south side of Yongchang St. and west side of Shengli Rd. needn't cross the road when shopping, thus the project won't affect the residents as far as outgoing is concerned. The reconstruction of Yuanlin Road will impose little impact on resident's outgoing and crossing the road. The project has no impact on area neighboring South Ring Rd., because the area is thinly populated and mainly for industrial use. The most affected residential area is Bailou Residential (7") area because 320 teachers, students and pupils of NQ 15 Middle School and Gangdu Primary School have to cross the street and the senior citizens over the age of 50 account for 56% of the total population there. (2) Impact on living quality The higher traffic volume and vehicle speed after completion of the project will lead to increase in traffic noise, e.g., the noise level in Bailou residential area will increase by 3 dB. For details of noise impact on residents see Noise Impact Analysis of the report. For'details of impact of displacement see relevant part in this chapter. b) Impact on markets and entertainment places (1) Impact on markets Less impact will be imposed on vehicles and customers going to and out of Dongning Market (10#), Decorative Material Market (74), Vehicles Market (2"), Cold Storage (64) and Xinxing Market (5#). 106 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment The left-turning of the vehicles and the crossing street of customers going into and out of the Fruits Wholesale Market (8') will be affected significantly by the project. The project will occupy 12 pedlar stands in Erdao Street and Sandao Street Markets located at both sides of Yongchang St., besides, widening the road will enlarge the distance between the two parts of markets halved by Yongchang St. The residents who live on the east side of Laodong Rd. and do shopping on the west side of the road will be affected by the project. (2) Impact on entertainment places The widening of thq road and the increased traffic noise won't impose much impact on the Chemical Plant Club of AISC. After the project is completed. the motor vehicles that used to pass Zhanqian area through Jianguo Rd. will detour the area through Qianjin Rd.. Shifu Square and via Wuyi Road back to Jianguo Rd.. So the traffic volume on the section of Qianjin Rd. adjacent to the Old People's Palace will increase slightly. The Old People's Palace is I Om from the motor vehicle lanes of Qianjin Road and the traffic noise will increase by 3 dB at this point. c) Impact on schools, kindergartens and medical institutions (1) Impacts on schools and kindergartens Most of the teachers, students and pupils of N2 31 Middle School (10), Gangdu Primary School (74), Xishahe Primary School (1 ) etc. won't be affected by the project because they needn't cross the project road to and from school. Besides. the aforementioned schools and Ng 34 Middle School will also not be affected by the traffic noise because of their teaching buildings being far away from the proposed road. The teaching building of Qianjin Primary School. through which the proposed Wuyi Rd. hnterchange will run. shall be relocated. Part of the teaching building of Wuyi Rd. Primary School shall be demolished as the approach of proposed Wuyi Rd. Interchange will run through the campus on its northern side. The traffic noise resulting from the interchange will impose adverse impact on the school. whereas the interchange will convenience the teachers and pupils who used to cycle by left- turning or walk across the road to or from school by allowing them go through underneath the interchange. Two thirds of the pupils of Laodong Rd. Primary School live on the east side of Laodong Rd., thus widening the existing road \\ill affect their crossing the road. The traffic noise won't impose much impact on the school. The traffic noise level in operational phase at Nanchangdian Primary School will decrease by 3 dB. The project won't affect the pupils' outgoing as the\ all live on east side of the proposed road. 107 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment The proposed road will incomenience the teachers and students' outgoing of AISC Engineering College and NL 34 Middle School. imposing less noise impact on the teaching activity. NQ 2 Kindergarten of AISC shall be relocated. (2) Impact on medical institutions There are intersections and passages for pedestrians near the Woman and Child Health Center (1), Hospital for Geriatrics (). Bone Disease Hospital (5) and Hospital of Railway Station. So the outgoing of doctors and patients won't be affected by the project and as most of the above-mentioned hosRitals don't have or have few beds facing the road, the traffic noise imposes almost no impact on these hospitals. The hospital of Grain Bureau has a ward housing 4 beds that faces the road and, during the operation, will suffer a noise level increase of 8 dB. the patients will be affected. d) Impacts on plants and enterprises The project won't impose much adverse impact on the enterprises that needn't be relocated. on the contrary, more convenient traffic resulting from the project will be expected. See resettlement of enterprises in Displacement Report for details. The project will, to a large extent. ease the traffic blocks that take place during the peak hours when AISC employees go to or get off work. The line changing of tramcar will eliminate its interaction with traffic on Jianguo Road. which will help in serving the AISC employees more efficiently. The motorless vehicles lane to be built on Jianguo Road. under interchanges and viaducts will convenience the AISC employees who cycle to work. The motor vehicles of AISC will travel more quickly. although they will impose relatively larger impact on traffic on Jianguo Road and Laodong Road. e) Impact on traffic hub There are Anshan Railway Station (daily passanger flow 40000 people), Long-distance Buses (travel to other cities) Station (daily passenger flow 10000 people), bus stops and Rainbow Bridge around the Zhanqian Square. The pedestrians to and from the aforementioned places will be affected by the project. According to the Urban Traffic Planning, the buses and some motor vehicles that used to pass the Zhanqian area will instead travel on the Wuyi Road Interchange upon the completion of project, which will ease the traffic pressure on Zhanqian area. Interchanges or viaducts will be built at intersections of Lishan Underpass, Heping Gate. Wuyi Road and Minsheng Road, on which the motor vehicles, motorless vehicles and os Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment pedestrians will travel on separated lanes. This will eliminate the traffic jams that take place during the peak hours when AISC employees go to or get off work and the AISC vehicles will travel more safely and quickly. f) Impacts on other sensitive points The line changing of tramcar will convenience the pedestrians to and from Zhanqian Square and east side of North Jianguo Road. Approximately 441 people will be affected by changing of the tramcar line which will be moved from Laodong Road to Anquan Street, decreasing the 1757 people affected than without changing the tramcar line. Besides, the residents at Anquan Street will be imposed to less noise impact as the changed tramcar line will be 12 to 15m away from the residential building to its east. The project won't impose much impact on the office buildings, scientific research institutions, and hotels etc.. 4.7.3 Mitigation 4.7.3.1 Mitigation measures to be taken in constructin phase Makeshift passage shall be provided for pedestrians crossing the road and going into or out of the market. Special personnel shall be provided to be responsible for the security of pupils who have to cross the construction site. Low noise equipments shall be preferred. Since most of teaching buildings are far from the existing road, impact of construction noise on them will not be serious. The contractor' had better not ca.ry out the construction in traffic peak hours of non- motorized vehicles and staff going to and out of work and school hours. The construction site in Zhanqian area shall be enclosed and the construction shall be carried out section by section so that the vehicles can detour through other roads. The construction of up and down lanes of all proposed road shall be carried out one after another, such as the widening of south section of Yuanlin Road and the road construction in front of Fruits Wholesale Market's gate. The construction of interchanges (or viaducts) near 4 gates of AISC on Jianguo Rd. and of Minsheng Rd. Interchange (viaduct) shall be carried out in stages. so as to provide gates for employees and vehicles coming and going. The existing underpass (for example. the Wuyi Rd. I inderpass) shall be used for traveling of pedestrians and vehicles during the construction of nct interchanges. The occupants of sensitive buildings to be displaced shall be compensated by construction units, besides, the new teaching buildings and residential buildings shall be built prior to the demolishment of old ones. 109 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 4.7.3.2 Mitigation measures to be taken in operational phase a) Increasement and full use of travelling capacity of existing intersections 17 traffic lights for pedestrians and 17 traffic lights for bicycle will be installed in Anshan. 73 traffic lights for motor vehicles will be installed, among which 20 is related to JRR. For details, see Table 4-40. The residents and pupils who live in the Bailou Residential Area as well as the teachers and students of AISC Engineering College can cross the street under control of the traffic light of Yongchang Street Int,ersection. A traffic directing polt shall be provided in front of the Shifangtai Fruits Wholesale Market on Jianguo Road. Pedestrians who go to and out of Erdaojie market and Sandaojie market can go to markets through approach underpass of Wuyi Road Interchange. The residents and students who live on the east side of Laodong Road can go shopping and go to school to the west side under the control of the traffic light of Shuiyuan Street intersection.

The medical staff and patients of the Women and Child-health Center can cross the road under the control of the traffic light of Liudaojie Intersection. The customers and motorless vehicles to and fro the Xinxing Market and Cold Storage as 110 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental impact Assessment well as the medical staff and patients to and from the Hospital of Grain Bureau, Bone Disease Hospital and Hospital for Geriatrics can go through intersections of Anle Street, Lieshishan Street and Minsheng Road intersections with Jianguo Road. The intersection formed by Jianguo Road and Wenhua Street, located on east side of Rainbow Bridge is equipped with traffic light to direct the traffic. Traffic light shall be available at the intersections formed by the North Jianguo Road and sub- trunk lines leading to AISC plant area. b) Facilitate the motorless vehicles of AISC Interchanges or viaducts will be built at Lishan Underpass. Wuyi Road Intersection, Heping Gate and Xiaodong bate etc. to minimize the traffic jams occurring in the peak hours. c) Set up of three public parking stations As Anshan City does not possess any standard public parking stations, it is planned to set up three such stations in front of railway station, near the People Park and at Hunan region where traffic order is in confusion. The land to be used for this purpose belongs to that of urban application. These three stations will make contribution to reducing traffic jam, improving traffic order and giving more safety to pedestrians and vehicles. d) Set up of big-sized bus station On the land planned to be used for JRR project, a big-sized bus station shall be set up at the southeast of Wuyi Road Interchange. At the place, there is no other sensitive point except the Tengda Disco-theque which will be moved to other place. Wuyi Road Interchange is a hub of Anshan urban traffic. After completion of reconstruction of Jianguo Road, Huangang Road aE1d Yongchang Road, buses can more easy enter urban area of the city. At the same time, p%blic traffic vehicles at the big-sized bus station can enter or get out of Jianguo Road through different lanes of Wuyi Road Interchange. The traffic on Jianguo Road can not be negatively influenced and the urban traffic of the city shall be accordingly improved. e) Other traffic facilities In combination with infrastructure. the JRR project shall provide plant belt for separation at Jianguo Road, Huangang Road and Yongehang Street and separating railing in the middle of the road, set up or renew the traffic signal facilities. These measures shall help in improving the traffic order at city center or commercial flourishing region, give more safety to pedestrians crossing street and thus raise greatly the living quality of the people. f) Other mitigation measures There are some vacant stands in Erdao Street Market and Sandao Street Market to position the 12 pedlars whose stands x ill be occupied by the proposed road. Greenbelt separation shall be provided on all the sections of road to compensate the loss of occupied greenery patches. 1I Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment The construction unit shall compensate the farmers whose land neighboring South Ring Road and Hebei Road is occupied with respect to stipulations of state policies concerned. See displacement of enterprises in Displacement Report for details. 4.7.4 Residual Impact 4.7.4.1 Construction Phase Impact on main sensitive points during construction phase is concentrated at influencing people crossing street4tnd at temporary, unfavourable influence caused by building demolition due to land acquisition. Sixty percent of such impact can be mitigated through measures described in EIA report. 4.7.4.2 Operational phase A series of measures described in EIA report shall be taken to mitigate impact on sensitive points of p oject road during the operational phase. The residual impacts are as follows. a) At intersections of project road and other urban roads of the city, new or renewed signal facilities to control motor vehicles and manual driving vehicle travelling or pedestrian walking shall be set up. In addition, port-wise stops of bus and public parking stations shall be constructed. People crossing streeet can be controlled by signal system of the nearest intersections. Though a few people have to go 80 m of additional way to get at the nearest intersection, their walk crossing street shall be safe. and the motor vehicles travelling on lanes shall be more smooth. The designation of special lanes for public bus and motorless vehicles shall reduce time needed by people to travel. b) Residents and students from Bailou residential area shall walk through intersection of Shengli Road and Yongchang Road. Though a few people have to go 250 m of additional Way, their walking shall become more safe than before. c) At some intersections to AISC of Jianguo Road and intersection of Minsheng Road. interchanges, overpassing bridges, signal control systems or designated special lanes for motorless vehicle shall be provided to separate motor vehicles and motorless vehicles travelling and solve the problem that vehicles have to make turning. The travelling of vehicles going in and out of AISC shall become more safe and convenient. More important is that the problem of traffic confusion and jam at the peak hour when AISC staff go to or go off work shall be solved. The positive influence is obvious. d) Motor vehicles, motorless vehicles and the people going in or out of the Fruit Wholesome Market shall pass through the traffic sentry-box located on Jianguo Road. In addition of traffic safety, the waiting time of vehicles and pedestrians for passing through shall be reduced to 2 minutes max. e) The people on Yongchang Street going in or out of Erdaojie or Sandoajie market shall walk through the underpass of bridge approach of Wuyi Road Interchange. There shall be no negative influence on people crossing street. On the contrary. people crossing street shall 112 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment become more safe because most vehicles shall travel on the interchange. 4.7.4.3 Displacement a) Displacement and compensation See displacement in the following Table 4-41. The total cost of displacement will be 258850000 Yuan RMB. b) Resettlement and area of replacement residence Most residents including farmers shall be resettled in the neighbourhood of displacement area. See resettlement and g1rea of replacement residence on the following Table 4-42. c)Living conditions comparison, before and after resettlement As indicated in Table 4-43. the living condition of resettled residents will be greatly improved. d) Other displacement Most of the 78 enterprises, which will be affected by the project, will be partially pulled down and new building can be built in the neighbourhood, few shall be moved to proposed industrial area. 22 institutions will be pulled down. 14 entirely and 8 partially. The institutions with a large building area to be pulled down are Qianjin Primary School and Wuyi Road Primary School etc.. 378 shops will be pulled down, 355 entirely and 23 partially. 1404 people will be affected.

(2) Resettlement measures Defray the labour settlement fee to skilled labours who can find a job, they account for 20% of the migrators. The migrators of Xishahe Village will be resettled in Beichukou (northern exit of the city) Residential Area and migrators of Qianyu Village will be resettled in Houyu Residential Area to be engaged in non-agricultural business, they account for 40% of the migrators. The remaining migrators will be resettled in village-owned enterprises to be engaged in industrial production. 114 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 4.7.5 Contingence Analysis The project-related contingences include the leakage of poisonous, harmful, inflammable and explosive matters during transportation and traffic accidents of vehicles transporting aforementioned matters. The contingences occur seldom will cause unexpected damage to the environment. a) Impact analysis of contingences The leakage may occur during the transportation or be resulted from the traffic accident. The leaked liquid matter may permeate into the urban sewage network and subsequently pollute the rivers such as Yunliang River and South Shahe River or, if it is inflammable or explosive, matter, explosion of urban drainage pipeline may be caused. The volatile matters may diffuse in the air and form air pollution. The traffic accident will cause traffic jams in some road sections which will subsequently deteriorate the ambient air quality. Besides, the fire and explosion resulted from the traffic accident will also cause air pollution. According to the estimation, the leaked polluant (e.g. the poisonous, inflammble and explosive acrylonitrile) will pollute the leeward segmental area of 800 m, given that the stability of atmosphere is D Class and the ground wind velosity is 2.0 m/s. The segmental area includes 0.043 km2 of high-density polluant area (1000 mg/M3), 0.055 km2 of medium- density polluant area (500 mg/m 3) and 0.069 km2 of low-density polluant area (300 mg/M3). The boundaries of these three areas is 420 m and 610 n from the polluting source in the leeward direction. When all the polluant leaks out due to traffic accident, the polluting range will be greatly enlarged. b) Precautions against contingences and handling measures (1) As the proposed road is located in densely populated urban area, it should be closed to vehicles transporting dangerous goods. (2) The companies who have to transport dangerous goods on proposed road must get the permit for transporting issued by traffic administration authority, and the vehicles transporting dangerous goods shall travel on designated routes, lanes and at designated speed and time. Besides, the vehicles and containers must comform to the relevant technical standards. (3) The traffic administration and the motor vehicles maintenance shall be intensified, and motor vehicles drivers shall be trained to minimize the occurrance of traffic accident. (4) Great attention shall be attached to design of bridges and strict construction supervision and acceptance shall be carried out. Maintenance rules of bridge shall be made out to zero the possibility of bridge collapse. (5) Once the leakage of dangerous goods takes place, traffic policeman team. fire-fighting team etc. shall go to the accident site in time and take emergency measures. e.g.. absorb. collect. dilute or cover the leakage. to prevent the diffusion of polluant. Further measures shall also be taken to eliminate the adverse impact on environment. (6) The traffic administration authority shall disperse the vehicles and people on accident site 115 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment in time, clear up the barriers on road and mend the damaged bridge and road in order to resume the traffic as soon as possible. 4.8 Alternatives 4.8.1 General Four alternatives related to different road sections are as follows (see Fig.2-3 for details): * Alternative A An elevated road from new Wuyi Road to the entrance of Laodong Road shall be setup at the west side of north section of Jianguo Road instead of surface widening of north section of Jianguo Road, and the existing north section of Jianguo Road can be used as special road for passenger traffic. * Alternative B The existing Shahe Street at north side of Hebei Road (recommended by the preferred alignment) shall be reconstructed instead of building Hebei Road. * Alternative C The road across Zhendong Metal Structure Factory shall run along the south side of the plant area. * Alternative D According to the size recommended by the preferred alignment, a bridge shall be built across Shahe River at the west side of the existing Laodong Bridge which shall be used only for traffic of non-motor vehicles from south to north. 4.8.2 Noise and Vibration 4.8.2.1 Noise a) Analysis of noise pollution of alternatives Compared to the preferred alignment, the alternatives B, C and D of Hebei Road, South Ring Road and Laodong Bridge show only slight change of construction site and the design parameter of the road, the motor vehicle flow etc. are almost the same. The acoustic environment along the road according to alternatives is similar with the prediction in paragraph 4.2 of this report, so no further indication of noise impact is necessary. The elevated road in alternative A is proposed to set up at the west side of the existing Jianguo Road. The side of the elevated road is over 50 m away from the first row of buildings of sensitive area. Compared to surface widening of ground road (preferred alignment ). the alternative A will be different in the acoustic environment along the line. b) Comparison of acoustic environment quality between alternative A and the preferred alignment Greater noise shall occur when motor vehicles run fast on elevated road and the noise is more complicated. Because the proposed elevated road shall be far from sensitive area and medium high or lower buildings shall be mainly built in the sensitive area, so the prediction points of noise within sensitive area shall be set on the ground surface. The noise prediction value of 116 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment the elevated road alternative is the result of noise of motor vehicles running on the elevated road plus that on the ground road (existing Jianguo Road ). The result of prediction is shown in Table 4-45. In order to make the noise predication value of the alternatives and the preferred alignment comparable, the noise prediction points 0 m, 10 m, 20 m, 30 m, 50 m and 100 m from red line bf Jianguo Road are 50 m. 60 m, 70 m, 80 m, 100 m and 150 m away from the side of the elevated road. The predication results of acoustic environment quality in 2010 of elevated road alternative and ground road widening conception are shown in Table 4-45. Table 4-45 Comparison of Acoustic Environment Quality of Elevated Road Alternative with Ground __ _ Road Widening Conception in 201 (dB) Distance Start and end Lishan Street Viaduct to Xiaodong gate Xiaodong gate to Wuyi Road Interchange (M) Time Elevated road Ground road widening Elevated road Ground road widening Peak hour 78.1 77.4 78.7 78.5 0 Day 77.3 76.6 77.9 77.1 Night 67.3 66.7 68.0 67.0 Peak hour 76.0 75.4 76.6 76.5 10 Day 75.2 74.6 75.4 75.7 Night 65.2 64.4 65.8 65.7 Peak hour 72.5 68.9 73.7 70.1 20 Day 71.7 68.1 72.3 69.2 Night 61.8 58.3 62.4 59.2 Peak hour 71.3 67.7 71.6 68.8 30 DaN 70.5 67.0 70.9 68.0 Night 60.6 57.1 61.1 58.1 Peak hour 69.5 65.9 70.1 66.9 50 Day 68.7 65.1 69.4 66.1 Night 58.8 55.2 59.5 56.2 Peak hour 66.1 62.5 66.9 63.6 100 Day 65.6 61.8 66.1 62.8 Night 55.6 51.9 56.3 52.8 Note: Distance is from the noise prediction points to red line of ground road. The above comparison shows that the noise impact of the elevated road will be greater than that of the ground road widening conception. That is to say, the acoustic environment quality in sensitive area along the elevated road will become worse than that of the conception of ground road widening. Ground road widening is better than the elevated road from the view of environment protection. 4.8.2.2 Vibration In the alternatives B. C. and D. the vibration shall not be increased. Though the vibration caused by the running vehicle on the elevated road of alternative A is greater than that on the ground road. it will have much less impact on people's health. The vibration shall fall down rapidly as distance increases. because the elevated road is far away from sensitive area. Therefore. the phenomenon of '.ibration disturbance to people of the alternatives shall be similar with that of the preferred alignment. 117 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 4.8.3 Air Environment The vehicle flow and speed at each road section of the alternatives B, C and D is similar with those of the preferred alignment, and it is only the alignment that will be changed. The degree of vehicle emission impact on both road sides of the alternatives B. C and D and the preferred alignment is also the same. According to the position of elevated road and its influencing range. the prediction result comparison of the alternative A with the whole line widening conception in 2010 is shown in Table 4-46. Table 4-46 Air Quality Prediction Result Comparison between Alternative A and Preferred Alignment Factor Numberofpoints N NNE E S SSW W CO 3 -0.3 -0.2 0.0 0.0 0.0 -0.4 4 0.0 0.1 -0.3 -0.3 -0.4 0.0 No. 3 -0.1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 -0.1 4 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 HC 3 0.0 -0.1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 4 0.0 0.0 0.0 -0.2 -0.1 0.0 The above table shows that the density contribution value of pollutants at points NQ 3 and N2 4 of the preferred alignment is mostly smaller than that of the alternatives. When comparing the alternative A with the preferred alignment, the CO, NOx and HC contained in emission of all vehicles traveling on the whole line will be increased by -1.01%, 8.99% and 1.88% respectively. 4.8.4 Soil and Vegetation 4.8.4.1 Analysis of Impact on Soil and Vegetation Through the site investigation of 4 alternatives recommended in the design, the impact of alternatives on the soil and vegetation isn't higher than that of the preferred alignment. The impact changes of alternatives are analyzed as follows: a) Alternative A To build the elevated road, 126 poplars, 551 willows ( 55% big trees ), 281 small pines, 451 small peach trees and 70 other small trees will be cut down. That is to say that a total green area of 12195 m2 will be damaged. Compared with the corresponding road sections of the preferred alignment, 1344 trees will be saved. In the meantime, because this section of Jianguo Road will no be widened, near 10900 m2 of planted area and greensward will not be occupied. In addition, after the change of the tram line, a part of land occupied by the original line will be greened, i.e. additional 7200 m2 of green area can be achieved in comparison with the preferred alignment. b) Alternative B This alternative will widen the newly-built Shahe Road. so having no impact on soil and 118 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment vegetation. Conversely, because Hebei Road will not be built, 12600 m2 farm land shall be free from occupation and 232 trees from cutting down ( green area 2948.8 m2 c) Alternative C This alternative will make the newly built section of South Ring Road across the farm land at the South of Anshan Zhendong Metal Structure Factory instead of crossing the factory. In this case, 2100 m2 more farm land shall be occupied. At the same time, considering the planting on both sides of this road and using separation belt for greening, we can plant 24 trees and obtain 20 M2 lawn more than the preferred alignment. d) Alternative D This alternative will build a new bridge at west side of existing Laodong Bridge. In this case, 400 m2 more vegetation land will be occupied and 20 more trees will be cut. 4.8.4.2 Analysis Conclusion of Impact on Soil and Vegetation Based on the above 4 alternatives analyses of impacts on soil and vegetation, the comparison of each alternative with the preferred alignment is listed in Table 4-47. The table shows that the alternatives A and B are feasible and superior to the preferred alignment in the view of reducing land acquisition and green area damage, but the alternative C is not feasible.

According to the preferred alignment the old bridge shall be demolished. some suspended solid occur and get into South Shahe River. In alternative D, since the old bridge will not be demolished, the total amount of suspended solid into South Shahe River is similar to that in preferred alignment in which a new bridge will be built. Since the construction phase of demolishing the old bridge is relatively short. so the relevant pollution will have little impact on South Shahe River which is only used for irrigation. 119 Liaoning Urban Transport Project- Anshan Subproject En%ironmental Impact Assessment 4.8.6 Social Environment The analysis of impact on social environment of alternatives is shown in Table 4-48. From Table 4-48. it can be concluded: compared to preferred alignment. Alternative A has greater impact on sensitive points. so it will not be recommended. But alternative B. C and D have less impact on sensitive point comparatively. 4.8.7 Summary of Alternative Impact Assessment Based on preferred aignment, the impact of alternatives on each environmental key element is shown in Table 4-49. Table 4-49 Comparison of Impuct on Environment of Alternatives and Preferred Alignment Alternative Key element of environment A B C D Noise - x x x Vibration - x x x Air - x x X Vegetation ( soil greening) + + - X Surface water ( South Shahe RiNer) x x x + Sunshine x x x x Community - + + x Note: The symbol .+", "-", and "x" respectively indicate negative impact, positive impact and almost no impact. Although 22916.0 m2 green area can be saved in the alternative A, the negative impact area of noise, vibration and air in this alternative will be larger than that in preferred alignment. so alternative A in this assessment will not be recommended. In alternative C, Zhendong Metal Structure Factory can avoid being divided into two, but more than 2100 m2 cultivated land will be occupied. By comparison of alternative D with preferred alignment, the former one can only decrease emission of suspended solid caused by the old bridge dismantling, but owing to the short period of dismantling, the alternative D will not improve the water quality of South Shahe River. So alternatives C and D will not be recommended in this assessment. By comparison of alternative B with preferred alignment, 12600 m2 ( 28.4% of total occupied cultivated land by preferred alignment ) will be saved and green area will not be lost. In addition, displacement of Shahe Village will be avoided and expense of constructing Hebei Road will be canceled. In this assessment, alternative B has significant effect on protecting cultivated land, minifying displacement and so on. so we suggest to utilize alternative B instead of utilizing Hebei Road new construction conception. 120 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment Table 4-48 Analysis of Impact of Various Alternatives on Social Environment Preferential Alternative Alternative Sensitive point alternatives in comparison with preferred project Conception No. Construction phase Operational phase I le%aling north Residents and Less displacement and resettlement.

After the measures made by the assessment team had been adopted, the second public investigation was conducted again to seek public suggestions to these measures. The content of the first investigation: a) Beneficial or harmful, long term or short term, acceptable or unacceptable impact of the proposed project to the people during the construction and operational phase of the project. b) The attitude or demands and specific suggestions to the project from the public, enterprises and institutions impacted by the proposed project. 6.3 General Investigation of Public Participation In order that the investigation of public participation can really reflect public suggestions to the whole proposed project and that the investigated objects can fully represent all aspects, the environment assessment team held meeting to seek public suggestions to traffic road reconstruction on December 2 to December 15 in 1996 and along both sides of the road proposed to be constructed in Tiedong, Tiexi and Lishan Districts, Shahe and Houyu villages which shall be affected by the project. The minutes of meeting were taken and the list of inquiry was distributed to the impacted individuals within above impacted areas and the investigated members are selected at random among the public for detail investigation. The investigated public are from different trades and professions and represent different social strata and aspects. 456 persons of different age. sex. profession and title were investigated. The detail is shown in Table 6-1. After having discussed methods and measures to deal with the suggestions and opinions which had been proposed in the first investigation with Anshan Construction Committee. ARPO. Anshan Town & Country Construction Planning Institute, Beijing Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute. the EA tcum conducted the second investigation among people who had proposed suggestions in the first in% estigation on March 3 to 12. 1997. The EA team introduced solution to their suggestion and collected their feedback. In addition. 68 persons have been investigated on Mar. 2 and Mar.3 to collect their 131 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Xnshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment suggestions and opinions to the build-up of nexx depots and the engineering of Hongqi Road reconstruction.

Among 456 persons, 96.24 percent are for the project, 1.31 percent are against the project, 2.45 percent adopt indifferent attitude. and 57.24 percent of 456 persons put forward their opinions and suggestions to the project which focus on noise disturbance and inconvenience of crossing street. All the enterprises and institutions investigated are for the project. In addition, most people investigated agree with the build-up of new bus depots and the engineering of Hongqi Road reconstruction. All the people support the reconstruction engineering and even hope the early starting of the engineering. 6.5 Opinions and Demands of Public to the Project From investigation of public participation we can know that although most of public are for this project, they give maximum attention to these problems related to their own benefit and caused by the project, such as noise pollution, greenery patches occupancy, the problem of crossing street and displacement arrangement, therefore they put forward the following suggestions and demands. a) 3-6-2 section of Jianguo Road Sifangtai Fruits Wholesale Market. one of the biggest markets in North-east region of China, lies at the west side of the road. Every day, almost 500 motor vehicles, 3000 man-power vehicles, and almost 50 thousand people come in and out this market. So left-turning problem for those vehicles should be solved. b) 1-2-1 section of Zhonghua Road The east side of the road is against Nanchangdian Primary School. Although the school supports the road widening construction. they ask for taking noise control measures. 132 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment c) 2-3-1 section of Yongchang Street Wuyi Road Primary School lies to the south side of this road section. After Yongchang Street is widened, Sandaojie Clothing. Shoes and Cap Street ( Bagua clothing market ) and Erdaojie Vegetable Market will be divided into two parts. so the school and the peddlers ask for solving problem of pedestrians crossing street, in addition. both sides of the road shall be very close to the residential buildings and Wuyi Road Primary School. Some existing buildings are within the red line. the residents and school give strong response to the traffic noise and ask for taking measures to reduce noise. d) 2-3-2 section of Yongchang Street People's Park, Ng 18 Middle School and Gangdu Primary School of Anshan lie to the north of this road section, populous residential area lies to the south side, and more old people (879 persons are over 55 years old) are living there, therefore, safety measures for crossing street are requested. e) 3-5-2 section of Jianguo Road The office of the recreational place-Anshan Old People's Palace, is located on the side of the road section, so noise mitigation measures must be taken. f) 3-2-3 section of Jianguo Road Lishan Wholesale Market and Laodong Road Primary School are located on the west side of this road section. so measures for crossing street must be taken. g) 2-1-3 section of Huangang Road Qianjin Primary School must be moved in order to construct this road section. By interviewing and investigating. it is known that because this primary school is impacted heavily by the vibrating and noise of AISC and its special railway line, most pupils in this area went to schools in other areas. To displace the school is popular confidence. h)The only existing greenery patches and trees must be protected during the construction phase of the project. 6.6 Handling Measures for Opinions And Demands of Public By social investigation along the line, the project has caused great social impact and public attention. Based on the public*s opinions and demands to the project, through technical and economic analysis, comparison and selection of conditions. the project construction unit. design institute and EIA team \\ill proceed from actual conditions and take serial measures to solve the problem represented by the masses violent]-. The detail is shown in Table 6-2. Air- conditioners shall be installed in the schools and hospital neighboring the project road and ventilators shall be installed in the residential buildings neighboring the project road to reduce impact resulted from traffic noise when windo\s are open for ventilation in summer. In 133 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment addition. protecting measures for the existing greenery patches and trees in operational phase have been considered. The detail is described in the paragjraph of ecology and vegetation impact assessment.

The design institution and environment assessment team and other enterprises concerned have properly solved the related problems of noise impact and crossing street put forward by the public. Among 261 persons who expressed opinions and suggestions, 87.74 percent was satisfied, 8.81 percent thought it acceptable and 3.45 percent were not very satisfied yet. 134 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 7 CONCLUSIONS 7.1 Comparison of With and Without JRR in 2010 The negative impact of traffic noise with JRR on the other roads within the urban area is slightly lower than without JRR. With JRR, the total emission of CO, NOx, N02 and HC from vehicles in the whole city is less 23.36%, 17.86%. 17.86% and 21.72% respectively than that of without JRR. With JRR, at road sections to the south of Wuyi Road Interchange, the contribution volume of emission from vehicles to air environment is small: under the condition of south or west wind, it is less thanlwithout JRR at the north section of Jianguo Road and at the east-west road of the project; under the conditions of other wind directions, it is slightly higher than without JRR, but the absolute total emission under latter wind direction is less than that under the former wind directions. With JRR, the negative impact on foot travelers and AISC"s (Anshan Iron & Steel Complex) production & staff transportation is less than without JRR. The JRR project has significant importance for inhibiting further deterioration of Anshan air environment, but also a little negative impact in the view of traffic noise and pedestrians walking at some sections. 7.2 Positive Impact Relieve traffic pressure of other trunk roads in Anshan City. Solve the problem of traffic jam of AISC's production & staff transportation, reduce traffic load near area of railway station, thoroughly eliminate the confusion and crowded situation of Anshan urban traffic. Shorten the time and distance of traveling of pedestrians and motor & motorless vehicles, favorable to improve the life quality of public. Arrange the resettled residents in the neighborhood and incorporate the dismantled enterprises into the appropriate industrial zones, to improve living environment of displaced residents, make the city arrangement more reasonable and raise the living quality of public of the whole city. In large range. the negative impact of traffic noise with JRR is less than that of without JRR: the impact of vehicle emission on air environment is larger than the existing situation. but the increasing rate is less than that of without JRR. Compared with the existing situation. the increasing rate of air pollutants of with or without .IRR is shown in Table 7-1. When the project is completed. the density of pollutants in the air at most road sections is lower than that of wvithout JRR. Moving of tram line will soke the problem of mutual interference of vehicles and tramcars. The interference occurs mainly in front of Anshan RailwaN Station, at Jianguo Road section 135 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Enironmental Impact Assessment from Rainbow Bridge to Nk-M i Road Intersection and at area near Lishan Underpass. In the meantime. the negative impact fit tramear noise on the residents along the line w,ill he reduced. Table 7-1 Increasing Rate Difference of Air Pollutants of with or ithout JRR in 2010 (%) Pollutants Without JRR (.A i NN ith .JRR (B) Difference (B-A) CO 45.39 11 43 -33.96 NO 57.7 9.5 -28.18 HC 48.32 16.11 -32.21 Note: NO, value is the same as No, value. 7.3 Negative Impact In construction phase, normal traveling of vehicle and pedestrians will be negatively, impacted. and the living of the residents near the construction site will also be affected. The project will occupy 44350 m2 cultivated land which can never be restored, and 103231 m green area (among which 57.38% of trees to be cut down are over 25 years old) will be destroyed. When the project is completed, it is not convenient for the public to cross the street. Due to increased vehicle flow and speed, the impact of traffic noise on buildings adjacent to the road sides will be more serious than the existing situation. The density of air pollutants in the area of Laodong Road will be higher than that of without JRR in 2010. The negative impact in the view of vibration, surface water and sunshine will not be greater than that of without JRR, and the impact of solid waste disposal during construction phase on environment is very little. 7.4 Mitigation Measures for Serious Impacts 7.4.1 Design Phase * Traffic light for pedestrians crossing street shall be added at the intersections where the public crosses the street frequently. Traffic policeman box shall be added on Jianguo Road section in front of gate of Sifangtai Fruit Wholesale Market where there is heavy flow of customers and vehicles to facilitate the pedestrians crossing street and vehicles turning left. * By many times of discussions and agreement with ARPO, Anshan Urban and Countryside Planning Institute and Beijing Municipal Project Design & Research Institute, two sound barriers 3 m high and 250 m long shall be installed respectively on the both sides of approach of Wuyi Road Interchange's section near Wuyi Road Primary School. * 91 air-conditioners shall be installed in the patient ward and diagnosis room of three hospitals such as Hospital of Grain Bureau etc.: 262 air conditions shall be installed in 136 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment the classrooms of 5 schools neighboring the project road; 5094 air-conditioners shall be installed in the residential buildings neighboring the project road in order to reduce noise pollution in summer when the windows open for ventilation. * By agreement with the design institution, the original space of 5 m between the trees on both sides of the street shall be changed to 2.5 m, in order to restore the green area destroyed by the project as soon as possible. In 2010 all the destroyed green area can be restored. 7.4.2 Construction Phase APRO must clarify the environmental protection responsibility during the construction and transportation while vntrusting the contractor with the project and must incorporate the responsibility in the contract. The construction shall be accomplished section by section and half by half at main places such as AISC entrance; temporary passageways shall be set up during construction phase. Designated person shall fetch pupils to cross the street when construction is being made near schools. The construction time shall be shortened; construction at night shall be avoided; construction equipment and facilities of lower noise shall be used; operation at night of machinery with high noise and vibration must be approved by Anshan Environment Protection Bureau. By bulk transportation, the material must be covered and the transportation should avoid peak hours of traffic; water sprinkling times should be added on the way; the site of construction should have temporary store houses for bulk material; when old buildings or structures are dismantled, plastic fence should be set up around building in order to suppress dust emission to the environment. In construction phase, Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center must carry out monitoring of noise, air, surface water and so on during construction phase. 7.4.3 Operational Phase Anshan City has solemnly promised to develop and implement motor vehicle emission control strategy (MVECS) to avoid deterioration of environment resulting from increase of vehicles after 2010. According to the traffic control program of the project. traveling of vehicles of extra large size on the road must be restricted and the vehicle speed at night must be limited. According to national technical strategy. lead-free petrol for vehicles should be soon applied in the whole country before 2000: clean energy will be spread progressively; vehicles of high pollution shall be eliminated: public traffic will be further developed; in proper time. the existing tramcar line shall be partially changed into subway and the whole line into light tracks. Vehicles must be inspected annually and randomly: the vehicles of high noise and emission 137 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment which are beyond standard must be brought under control within the specified time. The vehicles of high noise and emission which are beyond standard must not run. Anshan Environmental Monitoring Center will carrN out monitoring of noise. air. vibration and surface water related to the project. The city arrangement program must be improved futher: the buildings adjacent to roadsides will not be used as residence. school or hospital. 7.4.4 Summary By many discussions With ARPO and design institute. the above mentioned mitigation have been included in the &sign documents: During construction and operational phases, ARPO will carry out concrete execution of the above mentioned mitigation measures. Since the mitigation measures are favorable to protect Anshan urban environment, suppress environmental further deterioration, they are feasible to be realized. After the mitigation measures have been put into effect, the environment quality along the road will be accordingly improved and the negative impact on the public will be reduced to a certain extent. Two public investigations have been carried out in EIA. The second social investigation to the public demonstrates that 97.8% of 456 persons including peddlers to be moved from Yongchang Market to Sandao Street Market think the impact of the project on them will be reduced to the acceptable degree if the mitigation measures are executed. The other 2.2% express indifferent attitude to the mitigation measures. Anshan Environment Monitoring Center who will carry out environmental monitoring and vehicle inspecting of this project is one of the best environmental organization with rich experience and modem equipment in Liaoning Province and is able to complete the above mentioned work. By consultation with Anshan municipal government, the environmental administrative organization recommended in EIA report during construction and operational phase is feasible. 7.5 Recommended Alternatives Because the alternative B (the existing Shahe Street substitutes for Hebei Road construction) has remarkable environmental profit in reducing occupation of cultivated land and avoiding displacement of Shahe Village residents, it is recommended by EIA report. Since the negative impact on environment of other alternatives is larger than or equal to that of the preferred alignment, other alternatives are not recommended. 7.6 SUMMARY OF ASSESSMENT CONCLUSION Based on achievement in different topics, the EIA report recognizes that the positive impact on environment of JRR project is greater than the negative one. The project has reasonable effect to improve environmental quality of Anshan City. The selected alignment of the project is reasonable, the prc.ct is feasible from the view of environmental protection. 138 10 10 Section Title Section Length No. 4.25 7.0 2.0 23.5 2.0 7.0 4.25 1-3 Yuc,nUn RoQd J1efang Roa5d - 150 South Ring Road 1 3- eblRodZinongcHang Raftway 4.2 3-1 HebeiRoad Zhahe Square 1270 4.25 6,5 2.0 16.5 2.0 6.5 425 2-3 Yongchang Street Jianguo Road - Yuanlin Road 1550 t C2.0 2-1 Huangang Road Mnsheng Road 2150 3.75 6.0 2.0 16.5 2.0 6,0 3.75 3-2 Roodong Road Hebel Road - 1R670Rd. 3- aeogRal East Janquo Road 40.01 3-3 East Janguo Road- 2740 4.25 7.0 2.0 23.5 2.0 7.0 4.25 -- Jianquo Roo Heping Road -5- Jin9o Rod50,0 3 3-52 Minsheng Road - 3080 3-_6 South Ring Road Uniti m Fig, iRood tronsverse section of JRRG)CD Section Non Ttle Section Length South Ring Glassworks - Road Yuanlin Road 1340 3.5 6.5 2.0 12.0 2.0 12.0 2.0 6.5 3 5 50.0 1-2 Zhonghua South Changdian Street - 620 Road South Ring Road 8.0 24.0 8.0 40.0 Fig< 2 Road transverse section of JRRCII) UnWm Secton Titte Section Length No, Jianguo Heping Road 2200 Rooa d 219 Road 4.25-67.0 3. 70 4.25-6.25 46.0-50.0 Jianguo 219 Road Road Minsheng Road 4.25 7.0 2.0 23.5 7.0 4.25 3 48.0 Fig. 3 Road transverse section of JRR(II) Umtim Section Non Title Section Length L Shahe Loodong Road - 3-1 Street Shengli Road 75 15.0 7,5 30,0 3W~uyi Roa~dV Jianquo (interchange) npgod |4200 f-M M 3--1 Roadl 3-4 4 1 Zhongchang Raflway tran line South end of E Lo.odong Road changed 170 changed 1.0 Unit:m Fig.4 Road transverse section of alterna-tive scheme of JRR Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment nong UnderpassI Yon9chan' St,eet Vuy1 Rood 0 Fig.5 Project location before and after trar line change in front of Anshon Railway Station After changing Project Road 0 Interchange tram ine Before changing ---Raitway --trom tine 0 250 500m 141 Shui uan Street ir -Before tram o line changed Un sn/ 0 ad Fig, 6 Project location before and after changing tram line in Anquan Street After changing Project Road 0 Interchange - ftrac aine Railway Before changing tram line 25 143 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-An0han Subproject Enmironmental Impact Assessment Annex 1: Environmental Standard adopted by the Environmental Impact Assessment of Traffic and Transportation Project of Anshan 1.

Inc. 146 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment I Introduction The implementation of Liaoning Urban Transport Project (LUTP) will result in increased traffic and motor vehicle emissions, leading to deterioration of air quality along the project roads. Over the long term, the benefit brought by the project on air quality from a city perspective will be offset by the expanded motor vehicle fleet. Eventually, motor vehicle speeds on a city wide basis will slow down again and air quality in the project cities will worsen. Although several quickly designed mitigation actions will be taken during the operation phase, they are not able to fully address the fundamental cause of the long term air quality impact by the project due to the complex nature of the issue. The mitigation of the long term project impacts on air quality and, ultimately, sustained improvement of air quality in the project cities call for a well researched and structured motor vehicle emission control strategy (MVECS). The MVECS is to provide the accurate assessment of present situation on motor vehicle emissions in the projects cities as well as the trends in the future. Best available motor vehicle emission technologies and successful experience in control motor vehicle emissions at home and from abroad will be evaluated for their potential application in the project cities. On this basis, the MVECS will specify a series of effective, site specific, integrated and goal oriented control, mitigation and remediation measures to tackle the long term impact of the project on air quality. Major efforts will be required in developing MVECS for each of the three project cities. A technical assistance is therefore needed for necessary and appropriate technical and financial resources. This document outlines the main scope and key elements in the proposed TA, including responsible organizations, the means of TA, the contents of TA, estimated costs for the TA and the TA implementation. 2 The Responsible Organizations LUCRPO and project offices in each city will be respo-sible for the implementation of this strategy. A capable and experienced institute will be responsible for overal! integration. Local and foreign experts will be recruited as consultants. One research institute in each city will be needed to be responsible for the strategy development, and this institute will be selected in accordance with certain procedures based on the TOR. 3 Means of Technical Assistance 3.1 Consulting Services Consultants experienced with motor vehicle emission reduction will be retained. The lead consultant will be responsible for development of MVECS, and supported by research institutes from Shenyang, Anshan and Fushun which are most familiar with motor vehicle fleet, air quality, urban and industrial development and local policies in air quality control and environmental protection in general in their respective cities. Since the local teams are limited b\ their experience in dealing with complicated strategies for motor vehicle emission control and latest development in motor emission control technologies, out-of-province consultants who are with these experience will be retained to provide assistance and guidance in MVECS development. 147 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessment 3.2 Technical Workshop A technical workshop will be held at the keN stage of the MVECS development. At the workshop. the local and out-off-province consultants will present the findings from their initial study on the present motor vehicle issues in the project cities, trends in the future in motor vehicle fleet and emissions. current mitigation measures and their effectiveness, and local regulator framework related to air qualitN in general and motor vehicle emission in specific. Leading experts in this area will be invited to participate in the %%orkshop primarily those from cities which ha%e successfully developed and implemented an MVECS and improved their air quality because of it. The experts are to provide their views anqd recommendations on the problems presented to them and share their successes and learn from their lessons. The objectives of the workshop will be exchange ideas, focusing on the specific issues facing the project cities. The workshop will be organized as such that various motor vehicle emission control measures will be discussed and debated for their effectiveness in addressing the motor vehicle emissions and air quality issues unique to each of the project cities. 3.3 Overseas Study and Inspection The provincial consultants as well as officials from the project cities responsible for developing, adoption and implementing the MVECS will travel aboard to study similar MVECS in countries such as the US or Canada. The study and inspection tour will be in cities which already have include meetings with MVECS development and implementing agencies, MVECS facilities, institutes or companies involved in motor vehicle emission control technology research and application, and regulatory agencies directly relevant to air quality control. particularly motor vehicle emission control. 4 Contents of Technical Assistance 4.1 Information collection and current situation assessment Information on the present situation on motor vehicle emissions in each of the project cites will be collected and compiled. Assessment of the collected information will be made to produce a clear and full understanding of various aspects of the motor vehicle emission issue and its relation to air quality. 4.2 Research of the trends of the future Future trends on the motor vehicle fleet. emission control technologies and other factors which may affect the growth of motor vehicles such as population, urban development and standard of living in the future will be researched. The objectives are to predict the variation in motor vehicle emissions, air pollution load, and air quality in the future in the project cities. 148 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject E.vironmental Impact Assessment 4.3 Study of advanced motor vehicle control technologies and programs Various technologies in motor vehicle emission control and reduction will be studied. The focus will be on their effectiveness and success in application. .4.4 Development control measures On the basis of a clear understandin2 of the issues facing the project cities, the trends of motor vehicle growth and impact of the emissions on air quality. and knowledge of motor vehicle emission control technologies and programs, a series of motor vehicle control measures will be developed as the core of the strategy. These measures will include, big not be limited to: stringent motor vehicle emission control standard and regulations: promote unleaded fuel; vehicle inspection and maintenance program: catalytic purification facilities; engine improvement; retirement of aged vehicles; monitor and enforcing the motor vehicle emission standards; promote public transportation; increase motor vehicle speeds; motor vehicle quantity control in urban centers; and develop clean or alternative fuel technologies. 4.5 Establishment of the implementing details A detailed plan will be developed to ensure the strategy will be adopted and implemented. The details may include designate executing/responsible agencies, implementing schedule, budget allocation, monitoring and reporting procedures, and feedback system. 4.6 Reporting A report will be prepared as the deliverable from the consultants for developing the MVECS. While in a single volume, the report will cover all three project cities and specify. where appropriate, the unique measures and policies for each of the project cities. The report will provide full details of the MVECS and can be readily used as guide for strategy implementation and progress monitoring by relevant organizations. 5 Costs and Implementation 5.1 Cost The estimated cost for the technical a,,sistance to develop an MVECS covering the three project cities is presented in the following table. It should be pointed out that more refined cost for the TA will be developed when a full terms of reference for MVECS development is prepared. 1 49 Liaoning Urban Transport Project-Anshan Subproject Environmental Impact Assessmet Items Level of Effort Estimated Cost Local Consultants 40 man-months Out-of-province Consultants 15 man-months Workshop Organization Cost Expert Invitation Overseas study and inspection 8 persons for 2 weeks Total 150,000 US Dollars 5.2 Implementing schebule The key milestones for developing MVECS are: Date Effort July 1999 Commencement of MVECS development July 2001 Completion of MVECS development July 2002 Adoption and implementation of MVECS Annually prior to 2002 Reporting on progress Annually after 2002 Reporting on performance of MVECS 150
