components: (i) Suppporting the development of government stewardship capacity for the elderly care system; (ii) Strengthening the delivery and management of community and home-based services; (iii) Strengthening the delivery and management of nursing care; and (iv) Project management, monitoring, and evaluation, along with capacity building. Component I includes developing a comprehensive aged-care service information system, creating an ability and demand evaluation system for the aged, developing aged-care service quality standards, and training people to be skilled elderly care providers. Component II includes upgrading 161 home-based aged care service stations in Anqing and Lu'an (16 stations in Lu'an will be upgraded later); purchasing 2 services by the municipal governments of Anqing and Lu'an; Component III includes and constructing or upgrading 7 community-based care centers (including nursing facility), 1 center for training and for recreational acvitities for the elderly, 1 central kitchen, and 1 big health management information data center in Wuhu; building 1 integrated medical and elderly care institution in Anqing and in Lu'an respectively; relocating and reconstructing Xuanzhou District Welfare Home and building 1 social welfare service center in Ningguo City; upgrading, expanding 35 rural nursing facilities in the Yongqiao District, Dangshan County, Xiao County, Si County and Lingbi County of Suzhou. Component IV will support project management-related work at the provincial and sub-provincial levels by establishing and maintaining Project Management Offices and by building the capacity of project management staff. This will ensure an effective and efficient implementation in compliance with the operations policies and procedures of the World Bank as well as with domestic rules. See table 1.4-1 for the project's components and details. The project funds primarily come from the World Bank loan, the supporting funds provided by local governments, and the funds raised by construction contractors. The World Bank loan is 965,384,000 Yuan (equivalent to 140 million USD), accounting for 52.49% of the total investment; the supporting funds provided by local governments amount to 298,488,600 Yuan, accounting for 16.23% of the total investment; the funds raised by construction contractors stand at 452,368,200 Yuan, accounting for 24.6% of the total investment; other funds (including funds for TCM inheritance project and construction of general practitioner training base) 123,000,000 1 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project Yuan, accounting for 6.69% of the total investment. Analysis of the environmental impact during construction and mitigation measures During construction, the environmental impact of the five major sub-components (the nursing facility of the First People's Hospital of Anqing, the Multi-Functional Medical Building of Lu'an City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wuhu Health and Elderly Care Industry Base at Haoyan Rainbow Garden, Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home Relocation and Reconstruction, and Ningguo Municipal Social Welfare Service Center Upgrades) has be analyzed. Exhaust: exhaust comes primarily from the dust procuded during construction and transportation. Dust pollution prevention and control measures include strengthening construction site management, putting up construction signs, watering the roads on which vehicles travel during construction, building a platform for vehicle washing, using dust covers such as tarpaulin, promptly removing construction waste from the construction site, reducing dust, and prohibiting the use of asbestos and other materials. Noise: noise is primarily produced by construction machinery and vehicles. Measures to reduce and prevent noise include properly scheduling time for using construction machinery, forbidding nighttime construction, using low noise mechanical equipment or preparing sound insulators or silencers, and properly arranging construction time and site. Wastewater: construction wastewater should be first treated through sedimentation tanks and oil-water separators and then reused for construction instead of being discharged outside. Domestic sewage should be discharged into the city's sewage treatment plant through the municipal sewage network. Solid waste: domestic waste should be collected separately based on their types and promptly removed. Construction waste should be dumped at the sites designated by competent authorities of cityscape and sanitation. See table 2-1 for details Analysis of the environmental impact during operation and mitigation measures Wastewater: wastewater discharged from the nursing facility of the First People's Hospital of Anqing and the Multi-functional Medical Building of Lu'an City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine will be first treated through the sewage treatment 2 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project stations at the these two hospitals; if the treated wastewater meet the pretreatment standards in Table 2 of the Discharge Standard of Water Pollutants for Medical Organization (GB18466-2005), it will be discharged into the city's sewage plant. The medical wastewater and domestic sewage discharged from other sub-components will be disinfected and treated respectively, and then discharged into the city's sewage plant if they meet the Class 3 standards in Table 4 of Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (GB8978-1996). Solid waste: trash cans should be arranged for domestic waste; waste should be removed from trash cans everyday to the sites designated by the competent authorities of environmental sanitation for disposal. Special trash cans should be arranged for medical solid waste; medical solid waste should be disposed of by qualified organizations in a safe, harmless manner. See table 2-2 for details Social management plan and environment monitoring plan In order to achieve the potential benefits and proposed development objectives (PDO) of the project, the social impact assessment survey team has surveyed the workers at the departments of civil affairs, the elderly care service stations in the affected project areas, and the elderly care facilities, along with relevant elders, their families, and other main stakeholders. Based on this survey and the analysis of relevant data, the team has identified the potential social impact and risks that are related to the project design and implementation and might affect the achievement of the PDOs of the project, and has proposed the measures to mitigate the impact or avoid the risks. See attached table 3-1 for details. The project has impacts on the environment during construction and operation. In order to effectively control pollution and protect the environment, operation of environmental protection facilities and production equipment should be kept track of as a way to prevent pollution incidents. Moreover, the environment monitoring plan should be implemented. This plan includes monitoring period, environmental elements, monitoring sites/points, monitoring items, monitoring frequency, costs, and monitoring organizations. See Table 6.3-1 for details. Institutional capacity assessment Department of Civil Affairs of Anhui Province is responsible for the implementation of the project. This Department has set up a provincial project management office (PMO) for overall project management throughout project 3 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project implementation. The relevant civil affairs bureaus under the Department of Civil Affairs of Anhui Province have set up municipal PMOs for daily management of the project during its implementation. The provincial PMO will coordinate local PMOs during project preparation and implementation. Moreover, the provincial PMO will designate a person to be in charge of environmental management and staff this work with environmentalist and the employees from project management companies. All PMOs will be staffed with sufficient workers (including designated environmental managers). The PMOs will employ external monitoring agencies and resident supervisors to supervise the implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP). The capacity of the EMP implementation organizations will be enhanced by taking a few measures, including training the workers of PMOs and construction contractors, so as to efficiently implement the project. Many projects financed by the World Bank have been successfully implemented in Anhui province. During the preparation and implementation of the project, the Department of Finance of Anhui Province and the Anhui Development and Reform Commission will provide support and guidance to the Department of Civil Affairs of Anhui Province and the PMO. EMP implementation cost estimate The costs related to the environmental protection for the project consist of three parts: the cost of environmental protection measures (including operating cost), the cost of environmental monitoring and supervision, and the cost of capacity building (including the cost of environmental management training and the cost of environment consulting). These costs total 11.3285 million yuan. See Table 8.2-1 for details. Public consultation and document disclosure Public consultation is conducted in forms of discussion meetings and questionnaire surveys. Questionnaire surveys and discussion meetings were conducted in the project areas in Anqing, Lu'an, Wuhu, Xuancheng, and Suzhou. Information about the project is posted on the website of the Department of Civil Affairs of Anhui Province on July 21st of 2017. The disclosed information includes the cities involved in the project and the overview of the project and its components, along with the link to the EMP for the project. The information was also published on Xin'an Evening News on July 20th of 2017. 98.1% of the respondents are supportive of the project, while 1.9% of the respondents show indifference to the project. The respondents believe that the 4 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project project is conducive to the development of local elderly care facilities. Through the project, more rehabilitation, nursing, medical, and health services will be provided to functionally impaired and disabled elders. 5 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project 1 Project overview 1.1 Project background Being a Chinese province that has a big population, the population of Anhui ages relatively earlier than the population of most other provinces in China. By the end of 2016, the number of Auhui's elders (aged 60 and above) reached 11.022 million, accounting for 18% of the resident population of the province, whereas the number of Chinese elders accounts for 16.7% of its total population, so the number of Anhui's elders is higher than that of Chinese elders on average. The number of Anhui's elders who receive elderly care accounts for 28.3% of the total population of Anhui's elders, whereas the number of Chinese elders who receive elderly care accounts for 25.44% of the total population of Chinese elders, so the number of Anhui's elders who receive elderly care is larger than the number of Chinese elders who receive elderly care on average. In order to cope with the social problems caused by an aging population,the Implementation Opinions of Anhui Provincial Government on Accelerating the Development of the Elderly Care Service Industry (W. Z. [2014] No. 60), Notice of Anhui Provincial Government on Implementation of 33 Projects in 2017 to Improve People's Wellbeing (W. Z. [2017] No. 10), and the 2017 Implementation Measures for Development of An Elderly Care Service System have proposed that by 2020, an elderly care service system that features complete functions and distinctive Anhui's characteristics will be established in Anhui to benefit its urban and rural residents. By then, every 1,000 elders in Anhui will have no less than 45 beds at elderly care facilities; standard community-based elderly care service facilities will be built in all urban communities; and integrated community-based elderly care service facilities and stations will be built in over 90% of township communities and over 80% of rural communities. However, Anhui's existing elderly care system is underdeveloped. According to the official data of the Department of Civil Affairs of Anhui Province, in 2016, there were a total of 366,000 beds at elderly care facilities in Anhui, which means there were 34 beds for every 1,000 elders; elderly care facilities were built at over 50% of rural communities; and the number of elderly care providers approached 10,000. Moreover, Anhui province faces the following problems: there is no unified system for assessing the elders' abilities and needs; there is no unified requirement on the assessment organizations and on the qualitifications of assessors or unified assessment standards; 16 elderly care service standards have been launched locally, 6 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project but no system for such standards is established. Therefore, there is still a long way to go before the development goals set for Anhui's elderly care service industry can be achieved; and efforts should be doubled to develop an efficient elderly care service system. Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project is proposed by Anhui Provincial Government based not only on its decision to accelerate the establishment of an elderly care service system, but also on its implementation opinions on accelerating the development of the elderly care service industry. This project is conducive to achieving the PDO(s). Financed by the World Bank, the project is an attempt at addressing problems in Anhui's elderly care industry by importing advanced technologies and equipment and drawing on advanced foreign operation management concepts and methods, based on China's national conditions and its institutional reforms, so as to develop an elderly care service system that can narrow the gap between the high demand for and low supply of elderly care services. 1.2 Construction contractor 1. Commissioning organization Department of Civil Affairs of Anhui Province 2. Project management organization There are 7 PMOs for the project, including Anhui Provincial PMO, Anqing PMO, Lu'an PMO, Wuhu PMO, Xuanzhou PMO, Ningguo PMO, and Suzhou PMO (the latter six PMOs are under the Anhui Provincial PMO). These 7 PMOs are responsible for project management and task assignment. 1.3 Project Objectives The Proposed Development Objective(s) of this project is to support the government of Anhui Province in establishing and managing a diversified (public and private) system of delivery of elderly care services, including home, community and residential services, that serves both urban and rural elders. This system will have three tiers: home-based care will be its bedrock, and it will be supported by community-based care and underpinned with institutional care. The main development objectives of the project are as follows: 1. Strengthening the capacity of the government of Anhui Province to exercise stewardship over the diversified elderly care service delivery system; 2. Strengthening the delivery capacity of the diversified service provision 7 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project systems of elderly care delivery in five municipalities (Anqing, Lu'an, Wuhu, Suzhou, and Xuancheng) in Auhui province. 3. Improving the balance of elderly care services in five municipalities in Anhui province; 4. Improving the affordability and quality of elderly care services in five municipalities in Anhui province. 1.4 Project details The project is implemented in Anhui Province, including the Yongqiao District, Dangshan County, Lingbi County, Xiao County and Si County of Suzhou City; various districts of Anqing; Lu'an City; Wuhu City; the Xuanzhou District of Xuancheng City; and Ningguo City.

Since the building has been built for a long time, the appearance and internal facilities have been aging, the circuit has been seriously aging, and fire and safety and other facilities are not perfect. The project intends to carry out exterior and interior renovation and decoration of existing buildings, set up related aged-care service facilities, expand 1610m2 of area, add 60 new beds, build 100m of road, make green of 200m2, and purchase a total of 1240 sets of living service facilities. During the renovation and expansion of the project, the elderly will be resettled on the spot or in nearby nursing homes. The details are shown in Figure 3.3-7 Project Status and Surrounding Sensitive Spots. 3.6-6 Details of Project Status and Surrounding Sensitive Spots According to investigations of project site, the project is surrounded by forest land, with beautiful environment, which is suitable for the living of retired people. The project drainage is treated by septic tank, which is cleaned regularly for fertilization. No asbestos waste was generated in the renovation and expansion. The 105 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project project has little impact on the environment, however, decoration waste shall be timely removed, reasonable arrangements shall be made for the use of noise producing equipment, and construction shall be avoided during the nap and at night; and strict avoidance, prevention and mitigation measures shall be taken throughout the project in the light of possible pollution impacts. 106 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project 4 Main Environmental Impact and Mitigation Measures 4.1 Environmental Impact Analysis and Mitigation Measures during Construction Period 4.1.1 Brief on common construction impact The construction of the Project will have some impact on the surrounding environment, which will be mainly from dust and wastewater generated during construction and transport, noise from construction machinery and vehicles and construction wastes piled. (I) Analysis on environmental impact of wastewater during construction The wastewater generated during the construction mainly includes the domestic sewage from construction workers and construction wastewater. Construction wastewater includes the effluent from earthwork and concrete curing and flush water of construction materials on the site and vehicles, with the main pollutant being SS. The main pollutants in the domestic sewage are SS, BOD5, and CODcr. A small amount of domestic sewage will be generated and discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network after treatment in the septic tank. The construction wastewater will be discharged in an intermittent way with unstable discharging amount. Therefore, the construction will feature excessive water use and a large amount of discharging wastewater. And if no appropriate measures are taken, the water will flow freely on the construction site, having adverse impacts on the surrounding water environment and landscape. For construction wastewater, it is suggested that a temporary effluent settling chamber should be provided on the construction site to collect various wastewater generated and discharged during construction. The wastewater after settling may be reused for construction, thus saving water and reducing the pollution on the surface water environment. (II) Analysis on atmospheric environmental impact during construction During construction of the Project, main atmospheric pollutants are: (1) Exhaust gas It is mainly the exhaust gas from construction machinery and vehicles. (2) Flying powder and dust During construction, the dust pollution is mainly from: Flying powder of construction materials (such as cement, lime and sand) borne 107 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project by the wind during handling, transport and piling; Flying dust from the ground caused by running vehicles; Flying dust from construction wastes during their piling, removing and transport; The exhaust gas and flying dust and powder generated during construction will cause atmospheric pollution, especially flying powder and dust. The flying powder and dust pollution during construction mainly depends on construction methods, piling of materials and wind in particular. According to analogy of on-site measurements, under general meteorological conditions, the average wind velocity is 3.2m/s, TSP concentration is 1.28-0.16 times its control point upwind, the affecting range of flying dust from construction is 96m down the wind, TSP average concentration in the affecting range is 0.31mg/m 3. Where the fence is provided, the affecting range under same conditions is shortened by 40%. When the wind velocity is greater than 5m/s, TSP concentration on the construction site and the area down the wind will exceed Grade II criteria of air quality standards. And with the increase of wind velocity, the pollution and above-standard degree of construction dust will go up. The flying power and dust generated during construction will have adverse impact on the surrounding atmosphere. The wind velocity of the Project site is relatively slow, and therefore the flying power and dust occurs only on windy and dry days on the construction site and the area down the wind. As construction dust is main contributor to atmospheric pollution during construction, the following measures to control construction dust shall be taken: 1. Specifications and content of construction signs. During construction, the Contractor shall provide the general layout plan of construction site and signboards for project overview, safe production, fire fighting and security, housekeeping, environment protection, and supervision telephone sign and the list of management. 2. Provision of enclosures, fences and anti-overflow device. During construction, the civil works sites are located at urban trunk roadsand bustling area, and shall be provided with enclosures with the height of over 2.5m; and the fences with the height of over 1.8m shall be provided for other works sites. The height of these enclosures and fences may be increased in line with local regulatory requirements. The bottom of the enclosures and fences shall be provided with anti-overflow device, and no gap is allowed between two enclosures and between each enclosure and its anti-overflow device. Where it is impossible to provide 108 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project enclosures, fences and anti-overflow devices, warning signs must be provided. 3. Measures of dust prevention for earthwork. The earthwork includes earth excavation, transport and filling and such possible preparation as drainage, dewatering and soil wall support. In case of dry and dusty earthwork, watering is necessary and the operations generating dust shall be shortened as possible. On days with moderate breeze or above, earthwork shall be suspended and the earthwork sites shall be covered with dust screens. 4. Dust prevention measures for construction materials. For such construction materials easy to generate flying powder during construction, such as cement, lime, sand, stones, paintings, and paving materials, one of the following measures shall be taken: a) Enclosed storage; b) Provision of fences or enclosures; c) Covering with dust tarpaulin; and d) Other effective dust prevention measures. 5. Dust prevention measures for construction wastes. The spoil, discarded materials and other construction wastes generating during construction shall be removed and transported. In case of piling on the construction site for more than one week, one of the following measures shall be taken to prevent aeolation, dusting and ablation: a) Covering with dust tarpaulin or dust screens; b) Regular spraying of dust suppressant; c) Regular watering to prevent dust; d) Other effective dust prevention measures. 6. Provision of vehicle wash platforms and improving drainage facilities to prevent sludge adhering to the vehicles. During construction, vehicle wash platforms shall be set up at the inner side of the exit of the construction site, and all vehicles (tire and body) shall be washed till no sludge is found. Around the car wash platform be provided with anti-overflow device, drainage ditch, wastewater tank, settling tank, and other related device to collect the wastewater and slurry generated from vehicle washing, construction and dewatering. The paved road at the exit of the construction site with visible clay left by traveling vehicles shall be shorter than 10 m, and shall be cleaned in a timely manner. 7. Dust prevention measures and transport route and time of vehicles carrying 109 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project materials, slag and spoil, and wastes into and out of the construction site. The vehicles carrying materials, slag and spoil, and wastes into and out of the construction site shall adopt an enclosed bucket to prevent leakage of load. If the enclosed bucket is unavailable, the loading height of materials, slag and spoil, and wastes shall not exceed the upper edge of the bucket walls, and the vehicle bucket shall be covered with tarpaulin tightly. The tarpaulin shall cover at least the area of 15cm below the upper edge of the bucket walls to prevent exposure of materials, slag and spoil, and wastes. The vehicles shall transport materials, slag and spoil, and wastes in line with approved route and time. 8. Dust prevention measures for access roads on the construction site. During construction, one of the following measures shall be taken on the roads for vehicles within the construction site and from the exit of the construction site to the road to be paved to keep the road clean and prevent dust from running vehicles: a) Paving of steel plates; b) Paving of cement concrete; c) Paving of asphalt concrete; d) Paving of reef slag, fine stones and equivalent materials, and taking such auxiliary measures as watering and spraying of dust suppressants; and e) Other effective dust prevention measures. 9. Dust cleaning measures for construction roads. Dust collection or flushing may be adopted to remove the dust accumulated on the access roads on the construction site, and dust suppression measures such as watering must be taken before cleaning. 10.

During construction, one of the following measures shall be taken for bare ground within the construction site: a) Covering with dust tarpaulin or dust screens; b) Paving of reef slag, fine stones and equivalent materials; c) Vegetation; d) Watering twice to seven times a week as the case may be on sunny days, and watering more in case of severe flying dust; e) Regular spraying of dust suppressant based on its performance; f) Other effective dust prevention measures. 11. During construction, the effective dense-mesh dust screen (no less than 2000 110 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project meshes/ 100 cm2) and dust tarpaulin shall be provided at the outer side of the scaffold around the structure under construction. 12. Dust prevention measures for concrete. When concrete is required during construction, ready-mixed concrete may be used or enclosed mixing may be adopted with the provision of dust prevention and removal device. Concrete mixing, lime slaking and mixing of lime soil in open air on the construction site are not allowed. Finished products or semi-finished products made of stones or wood shall be used as possible for fabricated construction to minimize pollution from flying powder and dust from cutting of stones and wood. 13. Dust prevention measures for longitudinal conveying of materials, slag and spoil, and wastes. During construction, materials, slag and spoil, and wastes easy to generate powder or dust on the superstructure of the building under construction shall be conveyed to the ground or underground via elevator shaft, internal pipelines or enclosed conveying pipelines or be packed and boxed before removing. Dropping in the air is prohibited. 14. Full-time personnel shall be designated for implementation and supervision of dust prevention measures at large and medium construction sites. At each construction site, there shall be personnel dedicated for enclosing, covering, watering of fugitive materials, wastes, slag and spoil and ground, vehicle washing, and recording the dust prevention measures taken. 15. Keep the surrounding area of the construction sites clean. The size of area around the construction site where the Contractor shall keep clean depends on the affecting range of flying dust from construction, generally 20m from the construction site. (III) Analysis on environmental impact of noise during construction 1. Construction noise pollution source During construction, a number of construction machinery and vehicles will be used and constitute the largest contributor to construction noise. The noise from construction machinery is characterized by high sound pressure level and continuous emission, while the traffic noise from running vehicles is featured by multiple sound sources and high mobility. During construction, the noise is mainly from construction machinery, field operations and running vehicles. The noise from construction machinery is from excavators and hoists etc., featuring multiple sound sources; operation noise is from 111 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project occasional striking, crash from loading and unloading construction materials, yo-heave-ho of construction workers, and crash from installation and removing of formwork, featuring instantaneity. The noise from running vehicles is traffic noise. Among them, the noise from construction machinery has biggest impact on the surrounding acoustic environment. According to Guideline for Environmental Noise and Vibration Control Technologies (HJ 2034—2013), the noise source intensity of main construction machinery to be used for construction are shown in Table 4.1-1. When multiple machinery and equipment are in operation at the same time, the noise will be superimposed. According to the analogy survey, superimposed noise will increase by 3-8dB (A), generally not exceeding 10dB (A). Table 4.1-1 Construction Noise Source Intensity From From Construction Noise sound From sound Construction From sound Sound source sound STAGE source source 5 source 10 m stage source 10 m source 5 m m Electric Bulldozer 83~88 80~85 100~105 95~99 hammer Woodwork Electrical 80~86 75~83 and electric 93~99 90~95 excavator saw Angle Earthwork and Road roller 80~90 76~86 90~96 84~90 grinder stonework Heavy duty phase carrier 82~90 78~86 Cutting tools 90~96 84~90 vehicle Vibratory Air 92~100 86~94 88~92 83~88 rammer compressor Wheel Fitting-out and 90~95 85~91 loader installation Concrete phase 88~95 84~90 pump Concrete 80~88 75~84 vibrator Electric 93~99 90~95 Base plate and saw structure Commercia phase l concrete 85~90 82~84 mixer tank Air 88~92 83~88 compressor Static pile 70~75 68~73 driver 2. Analysis on environmental impact of noise during construction During construction, the running construction machinery and equipment and vehicles will inevitably generate noise pollution, and constitute the source of noise. The noise impact value under the most adverse condition is analyzed, namely the 112 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project noise impact value of single noise-generating equipment on the boundary of the Project site with the shortest distance from the sensitive site at each construction phase. According to related data, the noise source intensity of main construction machinery is listed in Table 4.1-1. Based on the sound source features of proposed construction machinery and equipment and acoustics environment and equipment sound source as point source and according to Technical Guide for Environmental Impact Assessment - Acoustics Environment (HJ 2.4-2009), the geometric divergence and attenuation prediction mode for non-directional sound source is adopted to predict noise from the construction site. Prediction method and mode The prediction mode is as follows: LP  LP0  20 lg r  �L Where: LP—sound pressure level of prediction points, dB (A); LP0— noise source intensity, dB (A); r— distance between prediction point and noise source, m; �L — extra attenuation (not considered). If sound barriers are not considered on the construction site, the noise levels and influence distance of construction machinery are shown in Table 4.1-2 as predicted based on the announced point sound source attenuation. Table 4.1-2 Noise Transmission of Construction Machinery Construction Noise levels at different distances from sound source, dB (A) equipment 20m 40m 60m 80m 100m 120m 150m 200m 300m Bulldozer 79 73 69 67 65 63 61 59 55 Electrical 77 71 67 65 63 61 59 57 53 excavator Road roller 80 74 70 68 66 64 62 60 56 Heavy duty carrier 80 74 70 68 66 64 62 60 56 vehicle Vibratory 88 82 78 76 74 72 70 68 64 rammer Wheel 85 79 75 73 71 69 67 65 61 loader Concrete 84 78 74 72 70 68 66 64 60 pump Concrete 88 82 78 76 74 72 70 68 64 vibrator Electric saw 89 83 79 77 75 73 71 69 65 Commercial 88 82 78 76 74 72 70 68 64 concrete 113 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project mixer tank Air 82 76 72 70 68 66 64 62 58 compressor Static pile 67 61 57 55 53 51 49 47 43 driver Electric 93 87 83 81 79 77 75 73 69 hammer Woodwork and electric 89 83 79 77 75 73 71 69 65 saw Angle 84 78 74 72 70 68 66 64 60 grinder Cutting tools 84 78 74 72 70 68 66 64 60 As shown in Table 4.1-2, single noise attenuates with the increase of distance from the sound source. According to construction site boundary noise control requirements, average A sound level at 200m from construction equipment in the daytime and nighttime fails to comply with Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), namely 70 dB (A) for daytime and 55dB(A) for night. Therefore, countermeasures must be taken for construction noise. This EIA requires the Employer to strictly implement the noise control measures during construction. Coverings shall be provided for the construction sites, and mobile sound barriers shall be provided around high-noise equipment (vibratory rammer, concrete vibrator, electrical saw, electrical hammer and commercial concrete mixer tanker), with the average sound insulation no less than 30 dB (A). For the Project, all of the noise levels of nearest sensitive points fail to comply with Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), namely 70 dB(A) in the daytime. The acoustic environment of the Project site is subject to the criteria for Zone II in the daytime under the Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). High-noise equipment must not be used at night. During construction, there will be a number of construction machines in operation at the same time, various noise source radiations will be superposed, with higher noise level and broader radiation scope. In order to protect the acoustic environment quality of surrounding sensitive points of the Project site, the emission of noise to the neighborhood during the construction shall meet the requirements of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution and be strictly subject to Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011) so as to reduce the impact of noise on the lives of surrounding residents during the construction. 114 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project (1) The advanced low-noise equipment shall be selected by the Contractor, and the noise barrier shall be properly set around high-noise equipment to reduce the influence of noise on the surrounding environment. In addition, the noises in boundary of construction site shall be controlled and not exceed limit specified in Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011). The Contractor may monitor and record the noise level on the construction sites. (2) Make arrangement carefully to reduce the duration of impact by construction noise, excluding continuous works (for example drilling, hole cleaning and concreting by cast in-situ piling machine, foundation ditch excavation, basement concreting and roof concreting) due to construction technology, and forbid the construction at night. Where the night works generating above-standard noise is necessary for production or other special needs, the Employer shall apply to relevant departments for approval three days in advance. The night works shall not be started until it is approved. (3) During construction, the maintenance of construction machinery shall be strengthened to avoid higher mechanical noise due to poor performance of the equipment. (4) The vehicles carrying materials into the construction site at night must not sound sirens, and materials shall be loaded and unloaded with care. (5) In order to minimize the impact of construction noise on the surrounding environment, the following control measures shall be taken: ① Strengthen construction management, make reasonable arrangement of working time, and forbid high-noise operation at night; ② Construction machinery shall be placed as possible at positions with least impact on the surrounding environment; ③ Use hydraulic tools instead of pneumatic tools; ④ Provide coverings on the construction site, and provide mobile sound barriers around high-noise equipment; ⑤ Minimize the number and density of vehicles running on the construction site, and control sirens of the vehicles. (IV) Analysis on environmental impact of solid waste during construction The solid wastes generated during the construction mainly includes spoil, construction wastes and domestic waste from construction workers. Spoil is from grooving earthwork. The excavated earth will be discarded except 115 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project for use for backfilling. The spoil shall be strictly disposed at the place designated by competent environmental sanitation department. The construction wastes are the solid wastes from construction, such as residual or hardened cement, lime, sand and stones, bricks and tiles. These wastes contain no toxic and harmful ingredients; however their powder will be blown into air by wind, causing secondary pollution. Arbitrary piling of these wastes will have adverse impact on surrounding landscape, traffic and residents’ traveling. Therefore, control measures shall be taken for solid wastes during construction, such as removing construction wastes and domestic wastes in a timely manner, no arbitrary discarding and piling, protection against wind and rain, and avoiding drop from vehicles during transport. 4.1.2 Environmental impact and countermeasures for major sub-projects (Anqing, Lu'an, Wuhu, Xuancheng, Ningguo) For construction period, the environmental impact of five major sub-projects (Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital, Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Haoyan Rainbow Garden Wuhu health Aged-care Service Industry Base of Haoyan Rainbow Garden, Relocation Project of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home, and Improvement Project of Ningguo City Social Welfare Service Center)is analyzed. 4.1.2.1 Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital The Subproject of Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital is part of construction of Longshan Branch of Anqing First People's Hospital, for which the Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Project of Longshan Branch of Anqing First People's Hospital has been prepared. The Project was approved by Yixiu District Environment Protection Bureau of Anqing City on December 31, 2015 (YXHJH [2015] No. 75). For the Project, the civil works period is from August 2016 to September 2018 and the fitting-out (the fitting-out period is 1 year) and procurement of equipment is to be commenced in October of 2018. This World Bank Loan Project involves no civil works and only internal fitting-out and procurement of equipment. The main influences of the Project, which is mainly built buildings, are waste gas and water, solid waste and noise. 1. Exhaust gas 116 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project The air pollution during construction of the Project is mainly from flying dust generated during foundation restructuring and organic gases generated during internal fitting-out. For the Project, construction dust is mainly flying dust and power generated during foundation transformation. According to analogy analysis and calculation based on monitor data of similar projects, the construction dust concentration on a construction site is around 0.5~0.7mg/m3. The fitting-out works include paving of floor tiles and porcelain pieces, painting of walls and ceilings (melamine paint), and installation of doors and cabinets. The paints to be used contain calcium carbonate and polyvinyl alcohol, and polyvinyl alcohol generates a small amount of organic waste gas. The emission of such waste gas is fugitive and not subject to quantitative analysis. For the Project, construction dust is mainly flying dust and power generated during foundation transformation. According to analogy analysis and calculation based on monitor data of similar projects, the construction dust concentration on a construction site is around 0.5~0.7mg/m3. The settling speed of particle increases rapidly as the particle size increases. When the particle size is 250μm, the settling speed is 1.005m/s, so it can be inferred that when the particle size is over 250μm, the main affected range is within the downwind close area of the dust point, while what really affects external environment is some small dust and particle. The affected range will vary with whether conditions on the site. A simple and effective measure for suppressing flying dust is watering. Sprinkling the roads where vehicles run 4-5 times per day during the construction will reduce dust emission by around 70%. Air storage and mixing of construction materials also generates a large amount of flying dust, which is significantly affected by wind velocity when the works is under way. Therefore, such works is prohibited on windy days and air storage of construction materials shall be reduced. The sensitive site around 200m of the Project is Zongpu Community (Beiyuan Estate), which will be certainly influenced by the waste gas during construction period. Hence, sprinkling measures (four-five times a day) shall be applied momentarily to the roads in the Project for dust control. In addition, the Employer shall enhance management on each section that possibly generates flying dust on the construction 117 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project site to control the impact of flying dust on surrounding environment and environment-sensitive targets. As construction dust is main contributor to atmospheric pollution during construction, the following measures to control construction dust shall be taken: 1. Specifications and content of construction signs. During construction, the Contractor shall provide the general layout plan of construction site and signboards for project overview, safe production, fire fighting and security, housekeeping, environment protection, and supervision telephone sign and the list of management. 2. Dust prevention measures for construction materials. For such construction materials easy to generate flying powder during construction, such as cement, lime, sand, stones, paintings, and paving materials, one of the following measures shall be taken: a) Enclosed storage; b) Provision of fences or enclosures; c) Covering with dust tarpaulin; and d) Other effective dust prevention measures. 3. Dust prevention measures for construction wastes. The spoil, discarded materials and other construction wastes generating during construction shall be removed and transported. In case of piling on the construction site for more than one week, one of the following measures shall be taken to prevent aeolation, dusting and ablation: a) Covering with dust tarpaulin or dust screens; b) Regular spraying of dust suppressant; c) Regular watering to prevent dust; d) Other effective dust prevention measures. 4. Dust cleaning measures for construction roads. Dust collection or flushing may be adopted to remove the dust accumulated on the access roads on the construction site, and dust suppression measures such as watering must be taken before cleaning. 5. Keep the surrounding area of the construction sites clean. The size of area around the construction site where the Contractor shall keep clean depends on the affecting range of flying dust from construction, generally 20m from the construction site. (2) Waste gas from fitting-out 118 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project The air pollution at the fitting-out phase is mainly from such gases as methanal volatilized from fitting-out material, building materials and paints. Therefore, indoor ventilation shall be strengthened. In addition, there are cooking fumes discharged from ovens used by construction teams. It is suggested that clean fuel, such as coal gas and liquefied gas should be used to minimize the impact on surrounding atmosphere. If conditions allow, it is suggested that the Contractor organize the workers to order takeouts or eat at nearby restaurants. Avoid dropping or flying dust when loading, unloading and storing materials. The construction wastes will be transported sealed. Watering and other dust suppressing measures shall be taken to control flying dust from traveling vehicles and temporary storage yards. At the fitting-out phase, the indoor environmental pollution control shall be subject to the code for fitting-out works of residences and conform to relevant provisions under the Code for Indoor Environmental Pollution Control of Civil Building Engineering. The low-toxic and low-pollution environmental-friendly fitting-out materials shall be adopted as possible in the design and construction. 2. Waste water The water pollution source during fitting-out is mainly the flushing water in construction area. The flushing water is mainly generated from cleaning of building materials like stones, and the main pollutant is SS. The flushing water will be discharged in an intermittent way with unstable discharging amount. The construction will feature excessive water use and a large amount of discharging wastewater. And if no appropriate measures are taken, the water will flow freely on the construction site, having adverse impacts on the surrounding water environment. There will be quite a small amount of domestic sewage generated during fitting-out, but if not properly treated, it will also cause environmental degradation of the construction area. Especially in summer, it will generate mosquitoes and flies which spread pathogen, having adverse impact on the health of construction workers. The Project is the re-fitting-out of houses, and the fitting-out works is conducted indoors. Part of flushing water to be discharged shall be precipitated before reuse for production, and arbitrary discharging is prohibited. 3. Solid waste For the Project, the building wastes generated are mainly from consuming of construction materials, including sand, stones, cement, scrap wood, sawdust, scrap 119 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project metal, rebar, wire and other wastes. A small amount of building wastes (50t) will be generated, of which the rebar heads and scrap wood take up 20% (10t) and will be all recycled. The rest building wastes (40t) shall stacked at the designated place which is approved by the government department of city appearance and environmental sanitation. During fitting-out, the solid wastes are mainly building wastes generated by fitting-out workers. Part of solid wastes shall be recycled, and those unable to recycle shall be transferred to the environment and sanitation department of the development area for disposal. In addition, the waste paints and waste solvent bottles generated during fitting-out are hazardous, and shall be centralized and transferred to a qualified organization for disposal. Arbitrary discarding is prohibited. According to the Regulations on Management of Urban Building Wastes (Decree No. 139 of the Ministry of Construction, 2005), building wastes shall be disposed subject to the principles of minimization, reutilization, hazard-free and who generates shall dispose. The organization disposing building wastes shall apply to competent environment and sanitation department (waste disposal office) of the municipal government for approval of disposing urban building wastes before disposal. The Contractor shall not transfer the building wastes to individuals or the organizations not approved to engage in transport of building wastes for transport. 4. Noise During fitting-out, main noise sources are fitting-out machinery, such as electric saw, abrasive-disk cutter, cutting machine, and electric drill. According to Guideline for Environmental Noise and Vibration Control Technologies (HJ 2034—2013), the noise source intensity of main construction machinery to be used for fitting-out are shown in Table 5.3-1. When multiple machinery and equipment are in operation at the same time, the noise will be superimposed. According to the analogy survey, superimposed noise will increase by 3-8dB (A), generally not exceeding 10dB (A). According to Guideline for Environmental Noise and Vibration Control Technologies (HJ 2034—2013), the noise source intensity of main construction machinery to be used for construction are shown in Table 4.1-3. Table 4.1-3 Sound Pressure Levels at Different Distances from Noise Sources of Construction Equipment (dB (A)) Construction stage Noise source From sound source From sound source 120 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project 5m 10 m Electric hammer 100~105 95~99 Woodwork and 93~99 90~95 electric saw Fitting-out and installation phase Angle grinder 90~96 84~90 Grinder 90~96 84~90 Electric drill 90~96 84~90 Air compressor 88~92 83~88 During fitting-out, the running of fitting-out equipment will inevitably generate noise pollution. The noise impact value under the most adverse condition is analyzed, namely the noise impact of single noise-generating equipment used for fitting-out on the boundary of the Project site with the shortest distance from the sensitive site at each construction phase. According to related data, the noise source intensity of main fitting-out equipment is listed in Table 4.1-3. Based on the sound source features of fitting-out equipment to be used for the Project and acoustics environment and equipment sound source as point source and according to Technical Guide for Environmental Impact Assessment - Acoustics Environment (HJ 2.4-2009), the geometric divergence and attenuation prediction mode for non-directional sound source is adopted to predict noise from the construction site. Prediction method and mode The prediction mode is as follows: LP  LP0  20 lg r  �L Where: LP—sound pressure level of prediction points, dB (A); LP0— noise source intensity, dB (A); r— distance between prediction point and noise source, m; �L — extra attenuation (not considered). As the fitting-out works is indoor, the sound insulation of the building will be considered (reduction of 20dB (A)). The noise levels and influence distance of fitting-out equipment are shown in Table 4.1-4 as predicted based on the announced point sound source attenuation. 121 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project Table 4.1-4 Noise Transmission of Fitting-out Equipment Construction Noise levels at different distances from sound source, dB (A) equipment 20m 40m 60m 80m 100m 120m 150m 200m 300m Grinder 68 62 58 56 54 52 50 48 44 Electric drill 73 67 63 61 59 57 55 53 49 Grinder 47 41 37 35 33 31 29 27 23 Electric 73 67 63 61 59 57 55 53 49 hammer Woodwork and electric 69 63 59 57 55 53 51 49 45 saw Angle 64 58 54 52 50 48 46 44 40 grinder As shown in Table 4.1-4, single noise attenuates with the increase of distance from the sound source. According to construction site boundary noise control requirements for the Project, average A sound level at 34m from fitting-out tools in daytime and at night fails to comply with Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), namely 70 dB (A) for daytime and no operation for night. According to the field investigation, Anqing First People's Hospital is nearest to the Project and will be put into operation at the same time as the Project. Therefore, the impact of fitting-out noise on the Hospital is not considered. However, Zongpu Community (Beiyuan Estate) is 60m from the east side of the Project, and the noise impact value during fitting-out will exceed the criteria for Zone II under Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). It can be known from the above prediction that the equipment shall be kept indoors during fitting-out and that various machines and equipment shall not be used at the same time so as to reduce the impact on acoustic environment of Zongpu Community (Beiyuan Estate). In order to minimize the impact of fitting-out on surrounding acoustic environment, it is suggested that the following measures should be taken to minimize noise pollution: The Contractor shall arrange the operation time of fitting-out machines reasonably, minimize high-noise fitting-out machines in operation at the same time, minimize the impact of sound source superposition as possible; the equipment with obvious vibration shall be provided with damping foundation; for noise sources such as material conveying and striking, the Contractor shall follow the housekeeping principle and strengthen effective management to minimize the impact. In order to minimize the impact of the construction on surrounding residents’ life, it is recommended taking the following control measures: 122 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project (1) During fitting-out, the Contractor shall strictly implement Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011) and regulations of Anqing City on construction noise control, avoiding disturbance to nearby residents from construction. (2) The Contractor shall arrange construction time reasonably and forbid to use high-noise equipment for construction at 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00, and forbid construction at 22:00-6:00 to avoid disturbance to surrounding residents taking rest. In order to further ensure no disturbance to surrounding residents, the Contractor shall make reasonable arrangement of the positions of construction machines to keep them far away from sensitive sites as possible. (3) As the noises from fitting-out equipment normally feature suddenness, irregularity, discontinuity and high intensity, the Contractor shall arrange the operation time of fitting-out machines reasonably, minimize high-noise fitting-out machines in operation at the same time, and minimize the impact of sound source superposition as possible. (4) The high-noise equipment shall be arranged reasonably, far away from east boundary of the Project. (5) For noise sources such as material conveying and striking, the Contractor shall follow the housekeeping principle and strengthen effective management to minimize the impact. (6) The PIU shall mark complaint call number at construction site; in case of receiving complaints, the PIU shall timely contact local environment protection department, so as to handle environmental disputes promptly. 4.1.2.2 Multi-functional Medical Building of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine The Project of Multi-functional Medical Building of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is part of the construction of Comprehensive Building and Multi-functional Medical Building of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, for which the Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Project of Comprehensive Building and Multi-functional Medical Building of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been prepared. The Project was approved by Environment Protection Bureau of Lu'an City on February 27, 2015 (L.H.P.H. [2015] No. 20). For the Project, the civil works period is from October 2018 to October 2021. 123 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project 1. Waste gas from construction (1) Dust from running vehicles During construction, the flying dust from running vehicles takes up over 60% of total flying dust. The table below lists the amount of flying dust generated by a 10t truck traveling on a road of 1km at different road cleanliness and running speed. As shown in the table, flying dust increases with the increase of the truck’s speed at same road conditions; the dustier the road, the more the flying dust at same speed of the truck. Table 4.1-5 Dust Emission of Vehicle at Different Speed and Under Different Ground Cleanliness (Unit: kg/km Vehicle) Cleanliness 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 1.0 Speed (kg/m2) (kg/m2) (kg/m2) (kg/m2) (kg/m2) (kg/m2) 5(km/h) 0.0511 0.0859 0.1164 0.1444 0.1707 0.2871 10(km/h) 0.1021 0.1717 0.2328 0.2888 0.3414 0.5742 15(km/h) 0.1532 0.2576 0.3491 0.4332 0.5121 0.8613 25(km/h) 0.2553 0.4293 0.5819 0.7220 0.8536 1.4355 Watering roads where vehicles run 4-5 times per day during the construction will reduce dust emission by around 70%. The following table shows the result of tests of sprinkling for dust control at the construction site. Table 4.1-6 Test Result of Sprinkling for Dust Control at Construction Site (Unit: mg/m3) Distance (m) 5 20 50 100 No watering 10.14 2.89 1.15 0.86 TSP Hour Average Sprinkling Concentration water 2.01 1.40 0.67 0.60 It can be concluded from the table above that watering 4-5 times per day will effectively control dust emission and narrow down the pollution distance of TSP to 20-50m. There are many sensitive objects around the construction site of the Project. According to test results, all sensitive site are within the affected range stated above. Therefore, the Contractor shall strength the sprinkling dust control measure in the construction site and on the roads where vehicles run to keep roads wet and prevent dust emission. On dry or windy days, times of watering the ground must be guaranteed. Meanwhile, sealing measures must be taken to prevent vehicles that are used to transport muck and building materials from running with leakage, and throwing while loading is prohibited. Vehicle wash platforms shall be set up at the inner side of the entrance and exit of the construction site, and all vehicles (tire and body) shall be washed and rinsed until no sludge is found. Transport vehicles shall be 124 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project parked away from sensitive sites when possible, and trolleys shall be used to transport materials to construction spots near these sensitive sites. (2) Dust emission during construction For the whole construction period, dust is emitted mainly at the civil construction stage. Causes of dust emission include dust emission by wind and dust emission by force. Dust emission by wind refers to dust caused by road digging, building materials stacking and on the surface of bare construction areas under dry and windy weather, while dust emission by force refers to dust caused by external forces such as spoil loading and unloading, building materials loading, unloading and mixing, among which dust caused by construction and loading and unloading vehicles are the most severe. Of the two causes, dust emission by wind is the main cause of pollution. This kind of dust emission is affected by the speed of the wind during construction. Generally speaking, the ranged affected by dust caused by natural wind at construction sites is within 100m. The speed of wind that causes dust is related to the particle size and water content. The diffusion and dilution of dust in the air is related to weather conditions such as wind speed, as well as the settling speed of the dust itself. Take dust as an example. Settling speed of dust of different particle sizes is shown on Table 4.1-7. Table 4.1-7 Settling Speed of Dust of Different Particle Sizes Particle size of 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 dust (μm) Settling speed 0.003 0.012 0.027 0.048 0.075 0.108 0.147 (m/s) Particle size of 80 90 100 150 200 250 350 dust (μm) Settling speed 0.158 0.170 0.182 0.239 0.804 1.005 1.829 (m/s) Particle size of 450 550 650 750 850 950 1050 dust (μm) Settling speed 2.211 2.614 3.016 3.418 3.820 4.222 4.624 (m/s) It can be concluded from the above table that the settling speed of dust increases as the particle size increases. When the particle size is 250μm, the settling speed is 1.005m/s, so it can be inferred that when the particle size is over 250μm, the main affected range is within the downwind close distance range of the dust point, while what really affects external environment is some dust of small particle size. According to analogy survey analysis, if no effective dust prevention measures are taken during construction, dust emission will for sure affect the construction site and the area 125 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project nearby, especially during seasons when it rains less and dust pollution is more severe. There are sensitive sites around the construction site, so dust prevention during the construction of the Project shall be paid special attention to, and dust prevention measures shall be taken. Especially during the period of earth excavation, backfilling and site leveling, management shall be reinforced and dust prevention shall be intensified to reduce the affected range and degree on adjacent surroundings caused by dust during the construction. Since the impact of dust ends with the completion of the construction, it is suggested that the construction progress be sped up and construction period be shortened as much as possible to reduce the time affected by the dust. In order to reduce the pollution of construction dust on the adjacent area, the following shall be paid attention to during the construction: ① Dust control measures at the construction site shall be worked out before the commencement of the construction by the construction company; ② The construction site shall be enclosed by enclosures with a height of no less than 1.8m. The bottom of the enclosures, where anti-overflow settling basins shall be set up, shall be sealed to prevent mud pumping; ③ The entrance and exit roads of the construction site shall be hardened by concrete and vehicle washing facilities shall be equipped. Vehicles leaving the site must be washed and rinsed well before it leaves; ④ Bare areas within the site shall be covered or greened; ⑤ Sprinklers and dust reducing facilities shall be provided at the construction site to sprinkle water to working planes and earth stacks when excavating and drilling, to keep a certain degree of humidity and reduce flying dust quantity. Excavated earth and building waste shall be carried away in a timely manner to prevent dust emission caused by dry surface due to long time of stacking or being washed out by rain. Loose and dried surface soil shall also be watered often to prevent dust emission. During backfilling, water dry surface soil to stop dust from floating around. Personnel shall be assigned to water regularly to reduce dust; ⑥ After excavation begins, backfilling shall be completed as soon as possible. Management of backfill stacking site shall be reinforced, and measures such as compacting backfill surface, sprinkling backfill with water and covering backfill shall be worked out. For sites that cannot be backfilled in time, dust-proof measures such as covering shall be taken. Granular materials such as gravels shall be stacked together and covered. For transporting spoil and waste residues, enclosed transport vehicles 126 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project shall be used, and discharging waste residues along the road is prohibited; ⑦ For trucks transporting soil and vehicles transporting building materials, special covered vehicles shall be used, or anti-leakage facilities shall be equipped. Overloading shall be avoided, and covering and enclosing measures shall be taken. Transport route and time shall be planned ahead of time. Discharging along the road shall be reduced, and soil and building materials left on the road shall be cleaned in a timely manner. Rinse tires and spray water regularly to suppress dust to reduce dust emission during transport. Construction waste such as spoil shall be classified, stacked together, well enclosed, and carried away in closed pipes or bags. Throwing them away from height is prohibited. ⑧ It is prohibited to burn asphalt, asphalt felt, rubber, plastic, leather, rubbish and materials that produce toxic smoke, dust and odor at the construction site; ⑨ Materials entering or leaving the construction site that are prone to creating dust, such as earthworks, gravels and construction waste shall be transported in enclosed vehicles. In the event of strongly windy weather, operations shall be paused and building materials such as stacked gravels shall be covered. According to Heavy Pollution Weather Emergency Plan of Anhui Province, when Level Three (Yellow) alert is put on or forecast wind speed reaches over Level Five, operations that are prone to creating dust emission such as backfilling and transporting, removal and air blower blowing ashes on the road shall all be prohibited. If above measures are taken, waste gas caused during the construction will not have an obvious adverse impact on the adjacent surroundings, and the impact will fade away as the construction ends. 2. Construction wastewater Wastewater includes domestic sewage, and the water for sprinkling on site, curing and for washing facilities. ① Construction wastewater refers mainly to wastewater caused by vehicle rinsing and material mixing, main pollutants of which are SS and oils. During the construction, temporary oil-separating tanks and sedimentation tanks shall be set up where construction wastewater will be treated and then be reused for the construction, and the bottom sediment left will be carried out of the site and disposed. ② Domestic sewage refers mainly to the sewage caused by construction workers dining and toilet flushing. It goes into the municipal sewage pipe network. Wastewater discharge mainly comes from the domestic sewage from the 127 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project construction workers and mud and wastewater from the construction. Say there are 100 construction workers on average, and each may use 120L/p·d of domestic water. That gives a total 12m3/d of domestic water. Assuming the discharge of domestic sewage is 0.85 of domestic water, it would be 10.2m3/d. Pollutants of such sewage are mainly COD, SS and ammonia nitrogen. Compared to domestic sewage content of the same kind, the pollutant concentrations of COD, SS and ammonia nitrogen are respectively around 350mg/L, around 200mg/L and around 35mg/L. Discharge of domestic sewage on site will be conducted via existing facilities. Construction of high building foundation and basement often creates plenty of wastewater with mud. Main pollutant is SS, and the discharge is hard to estimate. Such wastewater shall be dammed up and treated altogether, or else it will bring onsite sediment into the urban sewage system and block the municipal pipe network. (2) Precautions ① Reinforce management during the construction. Take applicable measures to effectively control the production of pollutants in the wastewater based on the discontinuous and single type nature of the wastewater. ② Everything at the construction site shall be adjusted properly. Temporary wastewater treatment facilities such as sedimentation tanks and oil-separating tanks shall be built. Water that have been used to wash or rinse construction machines with high oil content or other wastewater with high suspended solids content must be treated before it is discharged. Waste liquid such as mortar and lime slurry shall be treated together and disposed with solid waste after being dried. ③ Building materials such as cement, yellow sand and lime shall be stored together, and certain rain-proof measures shall be taken. The above-mentioned materials spilled over or thrown out during construction or transport shall be cleaned up in time to prevent them from being carried away by rain and thus polluting adjacent water. ④ Apparatus of small flow shall be installed to reduce water consumption during the construction. The above-mentioned measures will effectively help control wastewater pollution during the construction and the measures are practical and feasible. 3. Solid waste Most of the construction waste is solid waste produced during the construction or demolition. If every 100m2 construction area produces 2t construction waste, the 128 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project Project is estimated to produce 1,842t construction waste. The Employer shall entrust a qualified company to transport the residue soil in a timely manner. In the Project, the cut is 187,000 m3, the fill 62,000 m3, and the spoil 125,000 m3. Constructors will also produce a certain amount of domestic waste during the construction. Assuming there are 100 construction workers and each of them will produce domestic waste of 0.8kg/p·d, that gives a total production of domestic waste of 80kg/d. Such domestic waste shall be collected and be transported and disposed by the Sanitation Department. Construction waste refers to any substance produced or discarded during the demolition and construction of subgrade or channels. The content of such waste is rather complicated, mainly including waste gravels, bricks and tiles, waste concrete, waste metal and packaging materials. Domestic waste mainly includes plastic and waste paper. Not only is construction waste, if not taken care of in a timely manner, a pain to look at, it will also raise dust on windy and dry days. Domestic waste from construction workers, if not taken care of in a timely manner, will stink, attract mosquitoes and bugs and spread diseases under certain weather, and have an adverse impact on the surroundings nearby. ① Enclosed vehicles shall be used for the transport of construction waste. Tossing is prohibited. Construction waste shall be classified as required by applicable regulations and shall be recycled as much as possible and transported and disposed in a timely manner. ② Domestic waste shall be collected by the waste cans or bags on site and transported to the domestic waste landfill of the Project for disposal. ③ Spoil (residues) can be used for either backfilling or bedding for the subgrade of nearby road. Separate spoil disposal area will not be set up to reduce land occupation. ④ Toxic and harmful materials cannot be burned on site. Disposal of such materials shall be in compliance with applicable regulations. 4. Noise In the environmental impact assessment, it is predicted based on the geometric divergent attenuation mode and noise superposition mode of the point source in Technical Guide for Environmental Impact Assessment — Acoustic Environment (HJ2.4--2009). The prediction software is the calculation software developed by Ningbo Scientific Research and Design Institute of Environmental Protection. 129 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project The evanescent formula of the point acoustic source is as follows: L(r)= L(r0)-20lg(r/r0)-△ L Where, L(r) refers to the sound pressure level of the noise source at the prediction point; L(r0) refers to the sound pressure level of the reference position; △ L refers to evanescent volume caused by factors such as shading. The noise superposition mode is as follows: n L�  10 lg( 10 Li / 10 ) i 1 Where, L∑ refers to the noise source intensity after the addition; N refers to the number of the sound sources; Li refers to the sound pressure level of the ith noise source The noise superposition mode is as follows: n L�  10 lg( 10 Li / 10 ) i 1 Where, L∑ refers to the noise source intensity after the addition; N refers to the number of the sound sources; Li refers to the sound pressure level of the ith noise source During the construction, when a single construction machine is working, it can be regarded as a point acoustic source. The noise of the machine decreases as the distance gets further. Decreasing of noise of construction machine can be seen at Table 4.1-8. Impact that noise of machine has on sensitive sites during all construction stages can be seen at Table 4.1-8. Table 4.1-8 Noise disturbing radius of all construction machineries (Unit: m) Noise Stage r75 r70 r65 r60 r55 sources Excavator 16 29 50 89 159 Earthwork Bulldozer 10 17 30 54 95 and Dumper 10 17 30 54 95 stonework Loader 18 32 57 100 178 Crane 9 15 27 48 85 Cast in-situ Forbid piling 63 35 11 / den machine Static Foundation pressure Forbid 55 28 6 / piling den machine Air 22 38 68 120 213 compressor 130 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project Crane 9 15 27 48 85 Vibrator 8 15 26 45 80 (50mm) Structure Eddy-type - 3 5 8 15 mixer Electric saw 26 45 80 142 252 Note: ①r is disturbing radius, for instance r55 means distance to sound source when noise of equipment decrease to 55dB (A). All noises, which are produced by all mechanical equipment in all construction stages, exceed standard limit in day and night specified in Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011). From Table 4.1-6, it can be concluded that: The predicted noise level at the sensitive point (the first and second phases of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) near the Project caused by the noises produced by all operating mechanical equipment in construction stage exceed the daytime criteria for Zone II as specified in Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). Thus, the Contractor shall strictly implement Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), avoiding disturbing residents due to construction. The following measures are suggested to be taken in the Project: (1) The advanced low-noise equipment shall be elected by the Contractor, and the noise barrier shall be properly set around high-noise equipment to reduce the influence of noise on the surrounding environment. In addition, the noises in boundary of construction site shall be controlled and not exceed limit specified in Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011). The movable noise barrier shall be set to reduce impact of noise during constructing near the sensitive site. (2) Make preparation carefully to reduce the duration of impact by construction noise, excluding continuous works (for example drilling, hole cleaning and concreting by cast in-situ piling machine, foundation ditch excavation, basement concreting and roof concreting) due to construction technology, and forbid the construction at night (22:00-6:00). Where the night work that produces excessive noise is necessary for production or other special needs, the Employer should apply to relevant departments for approval in advance and get permission of neighboring residents. The night work shall not be started until it is approved. (3) During construction, the maintenance of construction machinery shall be 131 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project strengthened to avoid higher mechanical noise due to poor performance of the equipment. (4) The vehicles carrying materials into the construction site at night must not sound sirens, and materials shall be loaded and unloaded with care. (5) The Contractor and PIU shall mark complaint call number at construction site; in case of receiving complaints, the PIU shall timely contact local environment protection department, so as to handle environmental disputes promptly. (6) Reasonably arrange construction site, try to put high-noise equipment in the center of the lot. If above measures are taken, construction noises caused during construction of the Project will not have an obvious adverse impact on the adjacent surroundings, and the impact will fade away as the construction ends. 5. Social impact analysis Short-term impact on around social environment during construction mainly include: ① The construction will occupy roads, which will enhance load of existing roads and influence transportation of neighboring residents; ② The construction vehicles will frequently pass the densely populated areas (like residential quarters and hospitals), which may cause hidden peril of accident. ③ Uncivilized behavior of partial construction personnel will also influence the local residents. All influences above can be greatly avoided or totally eliminated by reasonably arranging construction plan and housekeeping; hence the Contractor shall make perfect construction plan and strictly manage construction personnel, so as to relieve social impact caused by construction. (2) Precautions ① Make traffic control plan in advance and release notice. ② Leave road and evacuate and guide pedestrian and vehicles to avoid traffic jam; or apply other method to inform related institutions to choose other roads and set significant mark of temporary detouring road lines in main crossings. ③ Reasonably arrange construction time, forbid to use high-noise equipment for construction during 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00, and forbid to constructing during 22:00-6:00. ④ Hang signs in dangerous areas, devices and materials to remind the local 132 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project residents. 4.1.2.3 “Haoyan Rainbow Garden� (Base) The main influences of the Project, which is mainly built buildings (one-year’s decoration period), are waste gas and water, solid waste and noise. 1. Waste gas from construction The actual influence analysis of construction waste gas shall refer to 4.1.2.1 - multi-functional medical building of Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital. And this chapter only analyzes influence on sensitive sites. The sensitive sites around 200m of the Project are Wuhu Sixth People’s Hospital and Polka International Garden, which will be certainly influenced by the waste gas during construction period. Hence, sprinkling measures (four-five times a day) shall be applied momentarily to the roads in the Project for dust control. In addition, the Employer shall enhance management on each section that possibly generates flying dust on the construction site to control the impact of flying dust on surrounding environment and environment-sensitive targets. As construction dust is main contributor to atmospheric pollution during construction, the measures to control construction dust shall refer to 4.1.2.1 - Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital. 2. Construction wastewater The waste water during construction mainly are construction waste water in construction site. The water pollution source during decoration mainly is the washing waste water in construction area. The washing waste water is mainly produced by cleaning of building materials like stones and the main waste pollutant is SS; and the washing waste water will be discharged in an intermittent way with unstable discharging amount. The construction will feature excessive water use and a large amount of discharging wastewater. And if no appropriate measures are taken, the water will flow freely on the construction site, having adverse impacts on the surrounding water environment. There will be quite a small amount of domestic sewage generated during fitting-out, but if not properly treated, it will also cause environmental degradation of the construction area. Especially in summer, it will generate mosquitoes and flies which spread pathogen, having adverse impact on the health of construction workers. The Project is the redecoration of the rental housing and the decoration project is conducted indoors; 133 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project and the partial washing waste water shall be discharged to urban sewage pipeline through sewer lines without randomly discharging. The domestic sewage shall be discharged to urban sewage pipeline through sewer lines, and then sent to Wuhu Zhujiaqiao Sewage Treatment Plant through municipal sewage pipe network for treatment, for no influencing quality of the surface water. 3. Solid waste For the Project, the building wastes generated are mainly from consuming of construction materials, including sand, stones, cement, scrap wood, sawdust, scrap metal, rebar, wire and other wastes. With low quantity generated, the produced building wastes are 75t. Among which, the steel heads and waste woods take up 20% (15t) which are recycled totally, and the rest building wastes (60t) shall stacked at the designated place which is approved by the government department of city appearance and environmental sanitation. The management of solid wastes shall refer to Elderly Care Institution Project of Anqing First People's Hospital. 4. Noise The actual influence analysis of construction noise shall refer to 4.1.2.1 - Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital. And this chapter only analyzes influence on sensitive sites. According to the field investigation, the nearest sensitive points from the Project are Wuhu Sixth People’s Hospital (60m from the north) and Polka International Garden (40m from the west); and the noise impact value during fitting-out will exceed the criteria for Zone II specified in Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). It can be known from the above predictive results that the equipment shall be ensured to be in the room during construction and all machines and equipment shall not be used at the same time, so as to reduce acoustic environmental influence on sensitive sites. In order to minimize the impact of fitting-out on surrounding acoustic environment, it is suggested that the following measures should be taken to minimize noise pollution: The Contractor shall arrange the operation time of fitting-out machines reasonably, minimize high-noise fitting-out machines in operation at the same time, minimize the impact of sound source superposition as possible; the equipment with obvious vibration shall be provided with damping foundation; for 134 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project noise sources such as material conveying and striking, the Contractor shall follow the housekeeping principle and strengthen effective management to minimize the impact. This evaluation recommend to take the following control measures in accordance with section 4.1.2.1 - Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital, in order to reduce bad influence of the Project construction on surrounding residents’ lives. 4.1.2.4 The Project of Relocation and Rebuilding of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home The main influences of the Project are waste gas and water, solid waste and noise. 1. Waste gas from construction The actual influence analysis of construction waste gas shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. And this chapter only analyzes influence on sensitive sites. There are sensitive sites around the construction site, so dust prevention during the construction of the Project shall be paid special attention to, and dust prevention measures shall be taken. Especially during the period of earth excavation, backfilling and site leveling, management shall be reinforced and dust prevention shall be intensified to reduce the affected range and degree on adjacent surroundings caused by dust during the construction. Since the impact of dust ends with the completion of the construction, it is suggested that the construction progress be sped up and construction period be shortened as much as possible to reduce the time affected by the dust. In order to reduce the pollution of construction dust on the adjacent area, the environment-protection measures for construction shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 2. Construction wastewater Wastewater includes sprinkling water on site, maintenance water and water used to wash facilities. ① Construction wastewater refers mainly to wastewater caused by vehicle rinsing and material mixing, main pollutants of which are SS and oils. During the construction, temporary oil-separating tanks and sedimentation tanks shall be set up where construction wastewater will be treated and then be reused for the construction, and the bottom sediment left will be carried out of the site and disposed. The Project will not set construction camps. And the construction workers shall 135 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project rent the existing houses in Xiaduxincheng Residential Quarter. (2) Precautions ① Reinforce management during the construction. Take applicable measures to effectively control the production of pollutants in the wastewater based on the discontinuous and single type nature of the wastewater. ② Everything at the construction site shall be adjusted properly. Temporary wastewater treatment facilities such as sedimentation tanks and oil-separating tanks shall be built. Water that have been used to wash or rinse construction machines with high oil content or other wastewater with high suspended solids content must be treated before it is discharged. Waste liquid such as mortar and lime slurry shall be treated together and disposed with solid waste after being dried. ③ Building materials such as cement, yellow sand and lime shall be stored together, and certain rain-proof measures shall be taken. The above-mentioned materials spilled over or thrown out during construction or transport shall be cleaned up in time to prevent them from being carried away by rain and thus polluting adjacent water. ④ Apparatus of small flow shall be installed to reduce water consumption during the construction. The above-mentioned measures will effectively help control wastewater pollution during the construction and the measures are practical and feasible. 3. Solid waste Most of the construction waste is solid waste produced during the construction or demolition. If every 100m2 construction area produces 2t construction waste, the Project is estimated to produce 348t construction waste. The Employer shall entrust a qualified company to transport the residue soil in a timely manner. In the Project, the cut is 20,000 m3, the fill 10,000 m3, and the spoil 10,000 m3. Constructors will also produce a certain amount of domestic waste during the construction. Assuming there are 50 construction workers and each of them will produce domestic waste of 0.8kg/p·d, that gives a total production of domestic waste of 40kg/d. Such domestic waste shall be collected and be transported and disposed by the Sanitation Department. The environmental management for solid wastes in the Project shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 136 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project 4.

The noises, which are produced by all mechanical equipment in construction stage, affect the sensitive sites around the Project - Xiaduxincheng Residential Area and Yucun Village. And the predictive value of noise exceeds the daytime criteria for Zone II as specified in Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). Thus, the Contractor shall strictly implement Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), avoiding disturbing residents due to construction. The control measures for noises in the Project shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 5. Ecological environment impact The influence of the Project construction on environment mainly is water and soil loss caused by surface excavation, transportation and stack of construction materials and production equipment. Water and soil loss means the process the soil dispersion, movement and deposition under eroding force of precipitation. Factors influencing water and soil loss are varied, mainly including rainfall, soil, vegetation, landforms and project construction and so on. As far as construction of the Project, the main factors influencing water and soil loss during construction are rainfall and project construction. Strengthen management during earthwork excavation and filling, so as to decrease scattering as far as possible to avoid water and soil loss. And the main bad environmental influences are: ① Affect landscape effect inside the zone; and ② Bring bad impact, damages and losses and so on to the local residents and safety operation of the Project. (2) Precautions ① Reasonably arrange construction time, try to avoid rain and flood season; and in case of no way to avoid it, conduct the production and drainage work during rainy season to ensure the smooth drainage during construction without any water-immersed working surface. ② Timely protect the earthwork works, convey it since it was excavated, and 137 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project ram it since it was filled without any loosened soil, so as to reduce exposed time of the loosened surface. Make sure that protect once section when constructed the section to reduce the new water and soil loss. ③ Reasonably optimize arrangement of the construction site and reduce the construction ranges to decrease degree of damage of project construction on vegetation. The construction machines and construction workers shall operate in the planned construction plane position and channel, and shall not disorderly occupy lands; and the construction machines, earth and stones and other construction materials shall not be placed mussily, so as to prevent vegetation deterioration (which will aggravate water and soil loss); and ④ The outsourced materials for construction, which integrates bricks, stones, sand, cement, wood and so on, shall be transported when it is required to reduce occupied lands and as far as possible with less damage to vegetation; and after the completion of the Project, the construction site shall be timely cleaned up and afforested, restoring the damaged vegetation to the greatest extent. 6. Social impact analysis Short-term impact on around social environment during construction mainly include: ① The construction will occupy roads, which will enhance load of existing roads and influence transportation of neighboring residents; ② The construction vehicles will frequently pass the densely populated areas (like residential quarters and hospitals), which may cause hidden peril of accident. ③ Uncivilized behavior of partial construction personnel will also influence the local residents. All influences above can be greatly avoided or totally eliminated by reasonably arranging construction plan and housekeeping; hence the Contractor shall make perfect construction plan and strictly manage construction personnel, so as to relieve social impact caused by construction. (2) Precautions ① Make traffic control plan in advance and release notice. ② Leave road and evacuate and guide pedestrian and vehicles to avoid traffic jam; or apply other method to inform related institutions to choose other roads and set significant mark of temporary detouring road lines in main crossings. ③ Reasonably arrange construction time, forbid to use high-noise equipment for 138 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project construction during 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00, and forbid to constructing during 22:00-6:00. ④ Hang signs in dangerous areas, devices and materials to remind the local residents. 4.1.2.5 Improvement Project of Ningguo City Social Welfare Service Center Removal of the existing buildings Removal of the old buildings concerned with the Project has been verified with the Ningguo City Social Welfare Service Center, no asbestos materials during removal. The removed waste bricks, bamboos and woods and other materials shall be transported by the special vehicles for waste soil transportation of municipal companies. During the removal of existing buildings, the Employer shall take sufficient measures to protect workers and the public from the dropping detritus and gravels. These measures include: (1) Leave a designated wastes-dropping zone or discharge chute to guarantee the safety pouring of the wastes; (2) Control the processes, like sawing, digging, grinding, sand paving and cutting, and take reasonable anchoring method to guide dropping of the waste stones; (3) Keep clean during transporting and avoid polluting pavement and atmosphere due to wastes dropping caused by overloading of vehicles; (3) Employ the temporary dropping-protection measures (like handrails and toe boards) in the boundary of the lifting scaffolds to prevent dropping of wastes; and (4) Provide safety glasses, side shields, masks, helmets, safety boots or shoes to all relevant staff. The main influences of the Project are waste gas and water, solid waste and noise. 1. Waste gas from construction The actual influence analysis of construction waste gas shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. And this chapter only analyzes influence on sensitive sites. There are sensitive sites around the construction site, so dust prevention during the construction of the Project shall be paid special attention to, and dust prevention measures shall be taken. Especially during the period of earth excavation, backfilling and site leveling, management shall be reinforced and dust prevention shall be 139 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project intensified to reduce the affected range and degree on adjacent surroundings caused by dust during the construction. Since the impact of dust ends with the completion of the construction, it is suggested that the construction progress be sped up and construction period be shortened as much as possible to reduce the time affected by the dust. In order to reduce the pollution of construction dust on the adjacent area, the environment-protection measures for construction shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 2. Construction wastewater Wastewater includes domestic sewage, and the water for sprinkling on site, curing and for washing facilities. ① Construction wastewater refers mainly to wastewater caused by vehicle rinsing and material mixing, main pollutants of which are SS and oils. During the construction, temporary oil-separating tanks and sedimentation tanks shall be set up where construction wastewater will be treated and then be reused for the construction, and the bottom sediment left will be carried out of the site and disposed. ② Domestic sewage refers mainly to the sewage caused by construction workers dining and toilet flushing. It goes into the municipal sewage pipe network. The Project will not set construction camps. And the construction workers shall rent the existing houses in the surrounding residential quarters. Wastewater discharge mainly comes from the domestic sewage from the construction workers and mud and wastewater from the construction. Say there are 50 construction workers on average, and each may use 120L/p·d of domestic water. That gives a total 6m3/d of domestic water. If the discharge of domestic sewage is 0.85 of domestic water, it would 5.1m3/d. Pollutants of such sewage are mainly COD, SS and ammonia nitrogen. Compared to domestic sewage content of the same kind, the pollutant concentrations of COD, SS and ammonia nitrogen are respectively around 350mg/L, around 200mg/L and around 35mg/L. The domestic sewage during construction period shall be discharged to Ningguo City Sewage Treatment Plant for treatment. The control measures for waste water shall refer to section 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 3. Solid waste Most of the construction waste is solid waste produced during the construction or 140 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project demolition. If every 100m2 construction area produces 2t construction waste, the Project is estimated to produce 180t construction waste. The Employer shall entrust a qualified company to transport the residue soil in a timely manner. In the Project, the cut is 5,000 m3, the fill 3,000 m3, and the spoil 2,000 m3. Constructors will also produce a certain amount of domestic waste during the construction. Assuming there are 50 construction workers and each of them will produce domestic waste of 0.8kg/p·d, that gives a total production of domestic waste of 40kg/d. Such domestic waste shall be collected and be transported and disposed by the Sanitation Department. The environmental management for solid wastes in the Project shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 4. Noise All noises, which are produced by all mechanical equipment in all construction stages, exceed standard limit in day and night specified in Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011). The noises, which are produced by all mechanical equipment in construction stage, affect the sensitive sites around the Project. And the predictive value of noise exceeds the daytime criteria for Zone II as specified in Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). Thus, the Contractor shall strictly implement Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-2011), avoiding disturbing residents due to construction. The control measures for noises in the Project shall refer to 4.1.2.2 “Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine�. 4.1.3 Environmental impact of other sub-projects during decorating Home-based Elderly Care Site, Rural Nursing Homes, Embedded Center for Disabled or Semi-disabled Elders (the other four sub-projects not included in the Base). This project possesses small scale and its main influence on surroundings mainly is waste gas and noises caused by decoration. The Contractor shall meet the following requirements to control noise and dust: 1. Try to keep noise of machines and equipment under 90 db; 2. More stringent measures need to be implemented in sensitive areas 141 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project (including residential areas, hospitals, etc.) to prevent harsh noise; 3. Try to reduce dust and particulate matters, so as to avoid influence on residents’ lives and commercial activities around, and focus on protection of vulnerable people (like children and the elderly); 4. Forbid to use high-noise equipment for construction during 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-22:00, and forbid to constructing during 22:00-6:00; 5. Take the correct measures to reduce influence of noises and vibration produced by construction on surroundings; and 6. It has been verified by all PMOs that the old houses have not asbestos materials. In case of finding asbestos wastes during rebuilding and decorating, the Employer shall draw up a management plan for dangerous wastes (it shall include field investigation for decreasing exposed asbestos wastes; the specially-trained personnel for collecting and handling asbestos wastes; and the processes for conveying and treating asbestos), in accordance with management of hazardous wastes. This plan shall be approved by the Project Engineer and be applicable to all personnel taking part in operation and transportation. The hazardous wastes in construction site shall be removed and handled by specially-trained personnel on the basis of national and provincial regulations or internationally-recognized process. 4.2 Environmental Influence and Protection Measures during Operational Period 4.2.1 Environmental impact and countermeasures for major sub-projects (Anqing, Lu'an, Wuhu, Xuancheng, Ningguo) In this operation period, environmental influence and protection measures of five major sub-projects are detailedly analyzed (Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital, Multi-functional Medical Building Project of Lu'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, “Haoyan Rainbow Garden� (base), Relocation Project of Xuancheng Municipal Social Welfare Home, and Improvement Project of Ningguo City Social Welfare Service Center). 4.2.1.1 Elderly Care Institution of Anqing First People's Hospital 1.

Meanwhile, the water quality of the Project is simple without pollution factors affecting the water quality of sewage treatment plant, so the acceptance of the Project’s sewage to Ningguo City Sewage Treatment Plant won’t impact the plant’s water quality. Based on the above analysis, the sewage of the Project can be discharged into the Ningguo City Sewage Treatment Plant after being treated of self-built sewage treatment facilities, and will have very small effect on the sewage treatment plant. 2. Solid waste ① Domestic waste 260 beds are added, and the domestic waste generated per bed per day is calculated based on 1.0 kg, which results in domestic waste generated of 0.26t/d. The domestic waste generated per person per day of the staffs (based on 100 persons) is calculated at 0.5 kg, which results in domestic waste generated of 0.05 t/d, so the total amount of the domestic waste generated of the Project is 0.31 t/d (about 113t/a). The several waste collection buckets are uniformly cleared and transported by the environmental sanitation department every day. The domestic waste generated by the Project is uniformly collected by the Municipal Environmental Sanitation Department and sent to the Ningguo domestic waste disposal center. 152 EMP for World Bank-Financed Anhui Aged Care System Demonstration Project Table 4.2-1 Generation and emission of water pollutant of the Construction Project Generation volume of Sewage Pollutant emission volume Sub-project Contaminant pollutant Preprocessing quantity Acceptance criteria activity Name Concentration Quantity of Measures Concentration Discharge (m3/a) (mg/L) output (t/a) (mg/L) amount (t/a) COD 300 24.22 280 22.60 The sewage discharge meets Elderly Care SS 180 14.52 Supported by 120 9.67 the pretreatment standards in Institution of Ammonia-nitrogen 25 2.03 hospital oil 25 2.03 Table 2 of Discharge Standard the First Animal and separator, septic of Water Pollutants for Medical 80665 35 20 People's vegetable oil 2.82 tank, sewage 1.62 Organization (GB18466-2005) Hospital of treatment station and the acceptance criteria of Anqing BOD5 150 and pipe network 150 Anqing North New Town 12.11 12.11 Sewage Treatment Plant.

By fully understanding the relevant laws and regulations at all levels, and after fully discussed with the affected primary stakeholder like the residents / villagers, the relevant administrative departments and enterprises in the proposed Project region of counties and cities in Anhui Province, the SIA team identified the main social risks which may affect the Project construction, development goals achievements regarding the Project implementation based on field surveys and statistical analysis. Accordingly, the following action plans and suggestions of mitigation and avoidance were proposed. In order to promote the realization of Project benefits and goals and on the premise of the full discussion with such primary stakeholders as the civil administration department, the employees and the elderly in the elderly care sites and elderly care institutions covered by the Project as well as the family members of the elderly, the social judgment group has put up with some measures to relieve and avoid risks regarding the possible major social impacts and risks which are identified on the basis of the field investigation and data analysis, and are relevant to the design and implementation of the Project, and may affect the development goals of the Project. The measures mainly involve the following aspects: 5.1 Reasonably arrange the spatial location of the elderly care sites in community The layout of standard social elderly care sites should be planned reasonably. In the places where the demand for elderly care is large, the sites may be constructed a little more, while in the places where the demand for elderly care is small, such as industrial area, commercial area, the sites might be less. 5.2 Reduce the workload of government staff Hire experienced experts or expert team as soon as possible to effectively reduce the workload of government staff. 164 Environmental Management Plan of World Bank-financed Anhui Aged Care System Project 5.3 Reduce the negative impact of the project on elderly care service practitioners The implementation of the project involves civil engineering, government's purchasing healthcare service, and training of new employees, which may increase the workload of some existing staff in nursing homes, welfare institutions and social elderly care institutions. Suggestions 1) Formulate the transition plan for the implementation period of the Project, eliminate the environmental impact and potential risks during construction, and reasonably arrange the work of staff and the transition of the elderly; 2) Develop talent motivation and training programs as soon as possible to address the need for human resources during the implementation and operation of the Project; 5.4 Reduce the negative impact of the project on the elderly 1) Formulate temporary transition plan for the construction period to help the elderly to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible and to reduce the environmental impact and potential risks during the construction; 2) Deliberate the change of service price. 5.5 Reduce the negative impact on other residents in community 1) The existing community activities can’t be weakened. When the conditions permit, the community place for activities should be of multi-purpose. 2) The construction unit is required to strengthen publicity and training on public sanitation and health knowledge to the construction workers, especially the migrant construction workers and set free-of-charge condom distribution or automatic condom sales facilities in the construction site. Meanwhile, the health department and maternal and child health department in the project area provide equipment support and technical guidance to strengthen the publicity on prevention and control of AIDs in the project area, especially the publicity in the rural areas; take full advantage of newspapers, broadcast, TV and other traditional media on the basis of pasting the post and the catch-phrase, distributing the leaflets and holding AIDs-prevention lectures, expand the publicity channels of new media such as Microblog, WeChat and SMS and carry out publicity on knowledge of AIDs and education on risks of communicating AIDs to popularize the knowledge of AIDs prevention and control 165 Environmental Management Plan of World Bank-financed Anhui Aged Care System Project and let the villagers/residents in the project area know the harm of AIDs and master the prevention knowledge, creating a good social environment for the AIDs prevention and control. 5.6 Reduce the resettlement influence of the project Formulate the “Resettlement Action Plan�. 5.7 Establish the complaint mechanism During the preparation, implementation and operation of the project, the complaint channel should be established to provide people affected by the project with the opportunity to complain when they meet any problems or they are dissatisfied with the project. Therefore, it is suggested that the project institutions assign specific officer to handle the complaints and keep the complaint record and remedial measures. During the preparation, implementation and operation of the project, the complaint channel should be established to provide people affected by the project with the opportunity to complain when they meet any problems or they are dissatisfied with the project. Therefore, it is suggested that the project institutions assign specific officer to handle the complaints and keep the complaint record and remedial measures. Level-by-level accountability system for dealing with the grievance should be implemented. The PMO of various levels should immediately make detailed record of the grievance after receiving it and records the complete treatment process, results and related data. In principle, the PMO should complete the treatment within 15 working days, inform the complainant of the results and disclose them in the relevant institutions and communities. The grievance handling staff should keep the grievant strictly confidential and is not allowed to inform the respondent of the information. 5.8 Vigorously publicize the World Bank-financed Projects The survey results show that only a very small portion of the aged, their family members and the aged-care service workers know this project, and people who are familiar with this project are even less. In order to make the World Bank-financed Project known to more people and allow them to actively participate in and supervise the project, it is suggested that: 1) In all the community aged-care service sites, nursing homes, social welfare homes and hospitals funded by the project, there should be a board to publicize the 166 Environmental Management Plan of World Bank-financed Anhui Aged Care System Project project. 2) On the uniforms of the staff of the government's purchased service, there should be the mark showing the support of World Bank loan. 3) Publicize the World Bank-financed Projects on various media. 4) Regularly hold symposiums and information conferences to promote a series of hot and cutting-edge topics, such as the socialization of aged-care services, and the combination of medical and health care. 5.9 Vigorously cultivate the ability of the social work organizations and volunteer organizations to provide community aged-care service 1) Encourage the social work organizations and volunteer organizations to closely cooperate with each other in the community and form the community service mode of social workers + volunteers. 2) Give economic and reputational incentives to the key organizer and activists in the interaction among the community, volunteers and social workers to improve their ability of aged-care service. 5.10 Give priority to women in terms of opportunities Although women account for the majority of aged-care service workers, they are inferior to men in terms of post, income and degree of education. Suggestions: 1) Give priority to women in terms of training and promotionopportunities; 2) Make sure that the women and men are equally paid when they do the same work. See Appendix 3 for the List of Social Management Plan. 167 Environmental Management Plan of World Bank-financed Anhui Aged Care System Project 6 Environmental monitoring plan 6.1 Monitoring purpose Environmental protection monitoring includes the construction period and operation period, which is designed to control the dynamic pollution situation of the proposed Project in a comprehensive and timely manner, and to acknowledge the environmental quality variation and the effect within the affected area and the dynamic change during the operation period, so that feedback information can be submitted to the competent department as a scientific basis for environmental management of the Project. 6.2 Monitoring Implementation Based on the environmental impact forecast results, the sensitive site where the pollution may be significant shall be selected as the monitoring site.
