Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant 1 Introduction 1.1 Project background The National Implementation Plan of the People’s Republic of China for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) lists the municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal sector as one the country’s six priority industries for POPs reduction. In order to help China implement its responsibility under the Convention, achieve reduction of dioxin emissions from MSW incineration, the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) and the World Bank work together to promote best available techniques (BAT) and best environmental practices (BEP) in accordance with the Stockholm Convention (SC). Four existing MSW incinerators in Kunming City were identified as candidates for the demonstration of BAT and BEP. With grant financing from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) complemented with own resources, selected MSW incinerators would improve operations and install necessary equipment to demonstrate operations that are in line with SC BAT and BEP. With the support of the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office (FECO) of MEP, each of the four incinerators prepared an environmental audit report. Based on the findings and recommendations of the environmental audit, a standalone EMP was also prepared for each incinerator. During project preparation, a social assessment and public consultations were carried out and integrated with the environmental assessment process. The project implementation, by design, will consist two phases. In the first phase an intensive operating and environmental performance audit at the four candidate incinerators will be carried out in the first year of project implementation. Based on the audit, an operational improvement program will be designed for each incinerator. Incinerators that commit to implementing these programs and fulfill financial eligibility conditions would be supported during the remainder of the project, including through grand funding for necessary upgrades of equipment relevant for dioxin emission reduction. The project will aim at achieving the operational improvements at least three of the four incinerators in Kunming. During the project appraisal, Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) issued Standard for Pollution Control on the MSW Incineration (GB18485-2014), which is an amendment to existing GB18485-2001. The new national standard has considerably tightened air emission limits of MSW incineration to the level of EU and US standards that are referenced by WBG EHS Guidelines. According to this new national standard, by Jan 1st, 2016, all existing MSW incinerators in China, including the four candidate MSW incinerators in Kunming, must meet the new standard. This Environment Management Plan (EMP) has incorporated applicable domestic requirements, Stockholm Convention Best Available Techniques and Best Environmental Practices (BAT/BEP), and World Bank Group Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines (WBG EHS Guidelines). The EMP is expected to remain valid upon completion of the said intensive operating and environmental performance audit to be carried out in the first year 4 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant of project implementation. The EMP will be updated and costed once the operational and performance audit during the first year of project implementation is completed and that the EMP will be part of the Operational Improvement Program for each incinerator. 1.2 Project profile 1.2.1 Project location Kunming Wuhua Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Power Plant (Wuhua Incinerator hereafter) is located in Wuhua district in northwestern Kunming city (see Figure 1-1). Figure 1-1 Location of 4 candidate incinerators – Wuhua – northwestern Kunming 1.2.2 Project owner The Wuhua Incinerator will be responsible for implementation of the EMP. The Wuhua Incinerator was built in December 2007, and entered into official operation in July 2008 after obtaining environmental acceptance issued by Yunnan Provincial Environmental Protection Department. 1.2.3 Findings and Recommendations of Environmental Audit According to an expert evaluation made during project preparation, the Wuhua facility comprises three combustion trains each of 400 TPD (440 maximum) for total of 1,200 TPD. One of the three trains is held in reserve. The facility utilizes circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology and has been in operation since 2008. Electricity is generated using two turbine generators with a total generating capacity of 24 megawatts. Municipal solid waste, pre-processed at the transfer stations by “fermentation” for water removal is delivered to the plant, hand-picked to remove oversize and large stones and bricks, stored in their pit 5 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant and, over a period of time, additional water is drained off. Waste is fed to the furnace using a screw feeder. If combustion temperatures fall below 850°C, coal is used as an auxiliary fuel. Oxygen is measured in the boiler following the recirculating cyclone and ranges between 4 and 7 %. After leaving the economizer, acidic flue gases are treated using dry Ca(OH)2 (slaked lime). Activated carbon with a B.E.T. of 1400 is added for dioxin and mercury control with achievement of mercury compliance indicated as the driving factor in setting the carbon feed rate. Particulate collection is now effected using a bag house with fiberglass (Line #1) and PPS (Lines #2 and #3) bags but these will be replaced with Teflon bags technology (without Teflon membranes) at the next bag replacement. Dioxin monitoring have been carried out 12 times since the incinerator was built and ranged 0.057-0.89 ng TEQ/m3 in stack emissions. 3 of the 12 results exceeded 0.1 ng TEQ/m3. Overall, the environmental audit and technical evaluation of the Wuhua plant concluded that the incineration plant is well-designed and well maintained, has fundamental control systems, qualified staff in place. It has also established a sound environmental management system. These conditions allow the incinerator for readily adaption of an operating and environmental performance enhancement program. The main issues include: 1) the operation is seriously affected by high humidity, low heat-value and abnormal size garbage due to poor at-source segregation, which compromise good combustion and/or result in frequent fire-pressing and restart in furnaces. 2) The incinerator’s instrumentation and automatic control system may not be adequate to address these challenges. Overall the unsteady operations cause considerable likelihood of uncertain emissions; 2) environmental monitoring seems to be inadequate due to technical and capacity constraints. The online monitoring equipment does not function properly at all times. Some monitoring results seem unreliable; 3) incinerator operators’ knowledge of process control, comprehensive application of BAT/BEP and environmental compliance need to be further enhanced. Accordingly the following suggestions on operational improvement are suggested, including:  Enhance pretreatment to help reduce down-time of incinerators;  Investments in monitoring equipment for plant performance and environmental performance, and a certain level of integration of environmental performance monitoring and process control; and  Enhance flue gas treatment system, such as installing lime and activated carbon injection metering device, bag breakage tester, replacing bag materials to PTFE coated filter.  Capacity building for operator skills. 1.3 Environmental law and Regulatory Framework 1.3.1 Domestic environmental protection laws, regulations & policies Ever since the year of 1979 when the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (Trail) was issued, multiple environmental protection laws and 6 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant regulations have ensued, including the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Marine Environment Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, etc. An environmental protection legislation system has taking shape by integrating the components of comprehensive laws, pollution control laws, and resource and eco-protection laws, etc. Currently an environmental law system has been derived from the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China on basis of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China. The legislation efforts on environmental protection have provided power thrusts to the development of environmental protection in China. The environmental protection laws and regulation concerning this project include: (1) Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China issued on December 26, 1989; (2) Noise Pollution Prevention Law of the People’s Republic of China revised on October 29, 1996; (3) Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Law of the People’s Republic of China revised on April 29, 2000; (4) Solid Waste Pollution Prevention Law of the People’s Republic of China revised on December 29, 2004; (5) Water Pollution Prevention Law of the People’s Republic of China effective on June 1 2008; (6) Cleaner Production Promotion Law of the People’s Republic of China effective on July 1, 2012; (7) National Hazardous Waste Inventory issued by Instruction No.1 of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the National Development and Reform Commission, taking effect on August 1, 2008; (8) Renewable Energy Law of the People's Republic of China (February 28, 2005); (9) Circular Economy Promotion Law of the People’s Republic of China (August 29, 2008); (10) CZ [2000] No.120 Technical Policy on Urban Domestic Waste Disposal and Pollution Prevention jointly issued by the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Environmental Protection Administration; (11) HF (2008) No.82 Circular on Improving the Environmental Impact Assessing Management for Biomass Power Generation Projects issued on September 4, 2008; (12) The Technical Guidance on Domestic Waste Disposal jointly issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Construction, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Environmental Protection on April 22, 2010; (13) HF [2010] No. 123 Guidance on Strengthening Dioxin Pollution Prevention; 7 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant 1.3.2 World Bank safeguards policies Table 1-2 Compliance with the Bank’s safeguard policies Safeguard Policies Applicability Compliance OP/BP 4.01 Yes Category A project, full assessment, and environmental audit Environmental report and environmental management plan prepared.

The EHS Guidelines contain the performance levels and measures that are generally considered to be achievable in new facilities by existing technology at reasonable costs. Application of the EHS Guidelines to existing facilities may involve the establishment of site-specific targets, with an appropriate timetable for achieving them. The applicability of the EHS Guidelines should be tailored to the hazards and risks established for each project on the basis of the results of an environmental assessment in which site-specific variables, such as host country context, assimilative capacity of the environment, and other project factors, are taken into account. The applicability of specific technical recommendations should be based on the professional opinion of qualified and experienced persons. When host country regulations differ from the levels and measures presented in the EHS Guidelines, projects are expected to achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures than those provided in these EHS Guidelines are appropriate, in view of specific project circumstances, a full and detailed justification for any proposed alternatives is needed as part of the site-specific environmental assessment. This justification should demonstrate that the choice for any alternate performance levels is protective of human health and the environment. The Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines for Waste Management Facilities includes 8 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant measures and performance levels relevant to MSW incineration, including management of air emissions, ash and other residuals, water effluents, noise, occupational health and safety, etc. These measures have been incorporated into the project EMP. The Waste Management Facilities guidelines also make reference to emissions standards for MSW incinerators from European and the United States for this sector. 1.3.4 Stockholm Convention BAT/BEP The key relevant articles in Stockholm Convention and the BAT/BEP Guidelines on POPs are as the followings (1) Best Environmental Practices  Reducing the overall mass of wastes that have to be disposed of by any means serves to reduce both the releases and residues from incinerators. Diversion of biodegradables to composting and initiatives to reduce the amount of packaging materials entering the waste stream can significantly affect waste volumes. Responsibility for waste minimization lies only to a minor extent with the operator of a waste incineration plant. However, coordination and harmonization of relevant activities on different organizational levels (e.g. operator, local, regional or national level) is of major importance for protection of the environment as a whole.  Kerbside or centralized sorting and collection of recyclable materials (for example, aluminum and other metals, glass, paper, recyclable plastics, and construction and demolition waste) also reduces waste volume, saves valuable resources and removes some non-combustibles. Responsibility for these activities must be coordinated between relevant levels.  Operators must be able to accurately predict the heating value and other attributes of the waste being combusted in order to ensure that the design parameters of the incinerator are being met. This can be done using the results from a feed monitoring programme of key contaminants and parameters where sampling and analysis frequencies and rigour would increase as feed variability increases.  To achieve optimal prevention of formation, and capture, of chemicals listed in Annex C, proper care and control of both burn and exhaust parameters are necessary. In continuous feed units, the timing of waste introduction, control of burn conditions and post-burn management are important considerations  These events are normally characterized by poor combustion, and consequently create the conditions for formation of chemicals listed in Annex C. For smaller, modular incinerators operating in batch mode, start-up and shutdown may be daily occurrences. Preheating the incinerator and initial co-firing with a clean fossil fuel will allow efficient combustion temperatures to be reached more quickly. Wherever possible, however, continuous operation should be the practice of choice. Independent of the operation mode waste should be fed into the combustion system only when the required temperature (e.g. above 850℃) is reached. Upsets can be minimized through periodic inspection and preventive maintenance. Incinerator operators should not feed the waste during filter bypass (“dump stack”) operations or 9 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant during severe combustion upsets.  Routine inspections by the operator and periodic inspections by the relevant authority of the furnace and air pollution control devices should be conducted to ensure system integrity and the proper performance of the incinerator and its components.  High-efficiency combustion is facilitated by establishing a monitoring regime of key operating parameters, such as carbon monoxide (CO), volumetric flow rate, temperature and oxygen content.  Carbon monoxide, oxygen in the flue gas, particulate matter, hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrogen fluoride (HF), airflows and temperatures, pressure drops, and pH in the flue gas should all be routinely monitored.  Bottom and fly ash from the incinerator must be handled, transported and disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.  Regular training of personnel is essential for good operation of waste incinerators. Creating and maintaining public goodwill towards a waste incineration project is critical to the success of the venture. (2) Best Available Techniques  Environmental concerning location is the most important for a new MSW incinerator.  Proper management of time, temperature and turbulence (the “3 Ts”), as well as oxygen (airflow), by means of incinerator design and operation will help to ensure the above conditions. The type and order of treatment processes applied to the flue gases once they leave the incineration chamber is important, both for optimal operation of the devices and for the overall cost-effectiveness of the installation. Best available techniques involve applying the most suitable combination of flue gas cleaning systems, including the dust (particulate matter) removal techniques, acid gas removal techniques, fuel gas polishing techniques, NOx removal techniques, etc. 1.3.5 Domestic technical documents (1) Approval on Kunming Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Power Plant by Yunnan Development and Reform Commission, foreign YFGWZ [2006] No. 835, Annex 1; (2) Administrative decision approved by Yunnan environmental protection department, YHXZ [2006] No. 51, Annex 3; (3) Acceptance opinion of three simultaneous actions by Yunnan Environment Protection Department, YHY [2010] No. 2, annex. 1.4 Relevant pollutant emission standards (1) Air Emission standards GB18485-2001 Standard for Pollution Control on Municipal Solid Waste Incineration is existing national standard for MSW incineration. In May 2014, MEP issued amendment to this standard, i.e. Standard for Pollution Control on the MSW Incineration (GB18485-2014). 10 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant The new national standard has considerably tightened air emission limits of MSW incineration to the level of EU and US standards that are referenced by WBG EHS Guidelines. According to this new national standard, by Jan 1st, 2016, Wuhua incineration plant must meet the new national standard. Table 1-1 shows Chinese national standards, EU and US standards for air emissions of MSW incinerators TSP in-organization emission sticks to Table 2 of Comprehensive Emission Standard of Atmospheric Pollutants (GB16297-1996). (2) Boundary standards for non-point emission of odor pollutants The concentration of the odor pollutants emitted by the Project is governed by the secondary expansion and transformation standards in GB14554-93 Emission Standard for Odor Pollutants. (3) Wastewater discharge standard There is no externally emitted sewage from the Company. (4) Standards on Noise Emission & Control The boundary noise is governed by the 3rd-grade standards in GB12348-2008 Emission Standard for Industrial companies Noise at Boundary. 11 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant Table 1-1 Chinese national standards, EU and US standards for air emissions of MSW incinerators Parameter National National EHS Guidelines Standard, Stanard, (expanded) GB18485-2001 GB18485-2014 Ref.

(1) Environment standards shall be the regulations on various works related to environment in accordance with the environmental protection law and the relevant policies to protect the population health, prevent environmental pollution, prompt the virtuous circle of ecology, utilize the resources reasonably and promote the economic development. Since the companies are difficult to avoid the pollutant emission during production, to prevent that the companies transfer the internal costs to the external environment and to balance the emission rights among the companies, the governments on behalf of public interests shall control the emissions of pollutants and thus the standards for emission of pollutants emerge. This represents the external index of characteristics of pollution sources on environmental effect. It requires that the technical measures against continuous emission and reduction of pollutants at the sources of pollution shall be made and the technical compulsory measures with legal binding force shall be implemented against the behaviors of pollutant emission. (2) Clean production refers to continuously apply the comprehensively preventive environmental protection strategies to the production and products so as to reduce the human and environmental risks. In connotation, clean production substantially means a production mode of taking the wholly preventive environmental strategies against the production process and the products to reduce or eliminate their possible danger on human and environment and meanwhile to fully meet the human demands and maximizing the social and ecumenical benefits. Law of the People’s Republic of China on Promoting Clean Production was issued and publicized on June 29, 2002 In the ninth session of the standing committee of the National People's Congress of the People’s Republic of China and has been executed since January 01, 2003. (3) Total quantity control of pollutant emission (shorted as total control) means to control under the scope of some amount the total quantity of pollutants at some control area (such as administrative region, river basin, environmental functional area, etc.) which is taken as a complete system so as to meet the environmental quality requirements at the area. Total control shall include the contents in the following three aspects: total amount, area and time of pollutant emission. Total control system means a legal system that the national environmental management authorities decide the total amount of pollutant emission at the area according to the surveyed regional environmental capacity and individually distribute to the companies in the area their own mode of total amount limit of pollutant emission according to the reduction plan of total amount of emission. (4)Details of the environment management plan is a part constituting the tender document and the construction contract signed between the project owner and project contractor. (5)This project is executed by the World Bank, complying with the environment management plan is specified as one clause in the project agreement and grant agreement between the World Bank and the Chinese government, the environment management plan 49 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant shall come into legal effect therefore. Therefore, the project construction unit shall strictly implement environmental pollution prevention measures, environment risk elimination measures, accident emergency plan, environment supervision plan, regular environment report of environmental impact, environment information discussion plan, environment protection record plan, and environment protection supervision plan to maintain the legal effect of environment management plan. 50 Environmental Management Plan of Kunming WuHua MSW Incineration Power Plant 10 EMP Budget The project by nature is an environmental protection project and will be supported by GEF grant USD12 million and counterpart funding from national, provincial, municipal level and participating incinerators.
