INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Inner Ring Road (IRR), an express roadway planned to circle the city center of Guangzhou Municipality, is the most important element for improving transport in the city center areas. It will lead traffic away from the city center and play an important role in urban economic development. This project was the subject of an Environmental Assessment (EA) which was required and reviewed by both the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) and the World Bank. The EA Report concluded that the proposed Inner Ring Road project will assist in providing a solution to traffic congestion in the city center, improve the quality of urban life and stimulate economic development It was noted that the project will result in degradation of environmental quality to some extent in the immediate vicinity, but will make a positive contribution to pollution control in the overall urban area, especially in the city center. The prime purpose of the Enviromnental Action Plan (EAP) is to ensure that the recommended mitigation measures were implemented effectively. The project was judged to be environmentally feasible if the recommended mitigation measures for particular road sections were selected. The project also allows for the opportuiity to enhance the enviromnental conditions in the city center through longer term solutions such as traffic management, urban planning and implementing the various components of the Proposal for Vehicle Emission Control Research. Project Overview The proposed IRR (Figure 1.1-1) is 26.7 kn in length and approximately 90% of it consists of an elevated viaduct. Ground level sections are proposed along Liuersan Rd. and adjacent to the Guangzho.u Zoo. The alignrment (description follows a clockwise direction beginning at Liuersan Rd.) goes from the Shamian Island area of the city which is known for its cultural importance, along Liuersan Rd. and heads northward along the existing alignment of Huangsha Rd. and Nanan Rd. towards the Guangzhou Railway StatiorL East of the station the alignment follows Hengfu Rd. to the north. A new aligrunent to the south borders the Guangzhou Zoo for approximately 500 m and contnues south until it joins with Zongshan Rd. From there it curves to the west until the alignment divides north of the Pearl River. The two alignments (Donghu Rd. and Donghua Rd. S.) cross the Pearl River via the Haiyin Bridge and the Jiangwan Bridge (currently under construction) respectively. The two alignments rejoin on the south side of the Pearl River and will follow a new alignment along the proposed Nantian Rd. westward until it intersects with Industry Ave. and Hongde Rd. The aligmnent follows Hongde Rd. northward across the Pearl River via the Renmin Bridge, joining Liuersan Rd. on the north side of the river.

GUANGZHOU ERR ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIOK PLAN The alignment passes through commercial and residential areas, and in many areas of the city the new structure will pass within 5-10 m of existing buildings. These facts and the number of potential sensitive receptors (educational, recreational and institutional buildings) which have been identified along the alignment presents a number of difficulties for effectively mitigating potential impacts. The road will be widened from existing widths (16-50 m) to a proposed width of 50 m. The number of lanes varies but generally consists of two- or three- lanes of traffic traveling in each direction. A new bridge structure will be required adjacent to the Renmin Bridge. The proposed alignment has 12 interchanges and 12 double-ramps. Average distance between interchanges is 1.5 km, with a minimum of 850 m; and the minimum distance between ramps is 345 m which is suitable for the designed traffic speed of 50 - 60 km/h. As part of the Environmental Assessment of the project there were a number of altemative alignments evaluated. Issues and concerns were addressed during the route selection process to minimize or reduce many of the potential adverse biophysical and socioeconomic impacts associated with the project. 1.2 Objectives As indicated above, the EA Report identified that the major environmental effects relate to noise and air quality. There are some landscape changes and sunshine obstruction occurrences at a few locations due to elevated road sections. Of the two major factors, the effective control of urban motor vehicle pollution will require a number of citywide strategies and countermeasures. These are summarized in this EAP (Section 2.3.3) and are more completely described in the Proposal for Vehicle Emission Control Research, a separate document related to the Enviromnental Component of the Guangzhou City Center Transport Project. This EAP identifies measures to minimize impacts during Design of the project as well as site-specific mitigation measures to be implemented during both Construction and Operation. This EAP provides the framework for the implementation of mitigation measures and environmental management and monitoring during the construction and operation of the project. This document details all commitments made in the EA Report and can be used as a reference document to ensure all environmental protection measures are implemented. An Environmental Action Plan: Identifies site-specific miligation measures Representatives of the EA team, Project Office and Design Team conducted field investigations at each of the sensitive points and proposed appropriate site specific engineering and managerial mitigation measures as identified during the EA process. These measures should be technically eftective and economically feasible. It is essential that these measures be provided to project designers in sufficient detail to ensure the contractors incorporate costs for mitigation. September 1997 2 GUANGZFHOU IRR ENVIRONMENTAL ACTMON PLAN * Provides an exclusive documentfor project implementation The EAP is one of the documents for the World Bank to appraise the project and provide a single source of environmental information for contractors, inspectors and others associated with the project during construction and operation. * Identifies institutional roles and responsibilities The roles and responsibilities of the various institutions and regulatory agencies are identified as well as proposed lines of communication and reporting relationships. * Outlines environmental monitoring during construction and operation phases The EAP identifies requirements related to the monitoring program. Environmental monitoring is undertaken during both the construction and operation phases to ensure the effectiveness of mitigation measures, to respond to unanticipated environmental concerns at an early stage and to determine the accuracy of impact predictions. 1.3 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS 1.3.1 Legal Basis for Enforcement The EAP was prepared based on the results of the Environmental Assessment (EA) Report prepared for the project.

While incremental pollution from the project will be mitigated, the proposed measures may not result in attainment of the standards at heavily polluted road sections. Compliance with the sunshine standard is a fimction ofthe width of specific road sections. 1.5 OVERVIEW ON ENVIRONMENT STATJS AND IMPACT PREDICATION 1.5.1 Air Quality The IRR will improve transportation efficiency in the urban center. Traffic will move faster and there will be less congestion and less queuing at intersections. It is predicted that, as a result of construction of the MR, the average speed in the city center will increase to 22.2 km/hr from the current 16.6 km/hr rather than falling to 16.3 km/hr if the IRR is not built. As the speed improves, the emissions from vehicles will decrease resulting in a net improvement in the overall air quality. Within the corridor of the IRR, however, the traffic will increase and the quality of the air will deteriorate. September 1997 9 Guangzbou MRR EnviromnentaW Action Plan * The status and Impacts in the IRR Corridor The existing roadways on the IRR are trunk roads, along both sides of which the air pollution is rather heavy. Based on the results of monitoring in January,1995, all HC and TSP readings exceeded the standards, 74.5% of NOx readings and 12.8% of CO readings exceeded the standards, only Pb (lead) concentrations were under the limit. With the growing population of vehicles, whether IRR is built or not, the pollution in the corridor will deteriorate. Based on the predication for concentration in the IRR corridor in 2000 and 2010, within 5-25m of the roadway HC concentration will exceed the standard by 3-4 times if with IRR. Within 500m HC average concentration with IRR will be 50-60% higher than that without IRR For NOx ,the concentration near the roadway will exceed the standard by 1.1-1.5 times if with IRR. With 500m the average concentration with IRR will increase more 150-200% than that without IRR; As for as CO, whether with IRR or without IRR, the concentration will basically be lower than the standard limit, but its average concentration with IRR will be 20- 50% higher than that without IRR. As a conclusion, the concentration of air pollutants, especially of NOx, will increase to some extent with IRR comparing to that without IRR. * IRR will mitigate the vehicle emission pollution upon the center area W-ith IRR, the ratio of vehicles in center area will decrease and the speed will increase. Based on the feasibility research and other data from designing and planning department, whether in 2000 or in 2010, the vehicle speed in center area will increased to certain extent with IRR than that without IRR. As indicated by concentration predication, within 500 m of the roadway in city center, HC concentration will averagely be 44% lowver, NOx' 43% lower, CO 40% lower if IRR is in operation.; * Air quality predication in center area With the economic development and increasing modernization in Guangzhou, the population of vehicle will rapidly increase in 10 or 20 years. As a result, the air quality in city area will deteriorate. Based on the predication, the concentration of CO and NOx caused by vehicle emission will be higher in 2010 whether the IRR is built or not. CO concentration wil1 increase to 7.34kg/zm3 from current 2.89kg/rm3; NOx concentration from current 0.11 6kg/m3 to 0.3179kglm3; With IRR, the concentration won't increase so rapidly as that without IRR. Therefore, the IRR can slow down the process of air quality deterioration, i city area 1.5.2 Noise The noise level Leq within 25m on both IRR. sides exceeded the standard by from 4.4 to 17.3 dB. The noise problem is serious and will continue to deteriorate. As a result of increased traffic volume, traffic noise in the project area is predicted to increase. Compared with the estimates without the IRR, the noise level with the IRR is I to 7 dB(A) higher; 2 - 4 dB(A) for existing roadways with heavy traffic; 5 - 7 dB(A) for September 1997 10 Guangzhou IRR Envrnental Action Plan existing roadways with small traflic volume; and I - 5.3 dB(A) for sensitive receptors within 100 m of the roadway. 1.5.3 Vibration The existing vibration levels along the IRR aligmnent will be within standards except at a few intersections or heavy traffic roadways. When the TRR is in operation, all the roadway can meet the standard except at, where vibration levels at the red lines exceed the standard slightly during peak- hours. The IRR may increase the vibration level slightly. 1.5.4 Sunshine The sunshine distance coefficient is small in the project areas. The sunshine time will be shorter with than without the IRR. The effective height of all IRR viaducts is smaller than the critical sunshine height at noon and the IRR viaducts will obstruct sunshine on buildings on the red line to various degrees. The obstruction time ranges from 1.2h to 9.3h on the winter solstice which has the shortest sunshine duration of the year. 1.5.5 Ecology and landscape The IRR aligmnents in Huangsha Avenue, Huanshi W. Road, Huanshi C. Road, and Hengfu Road now have wide open space and greenery, and additional viaducts will not have significant impact on the landscape. Significant changes may occur at roadways at Liuersan Rd., Meidong Rd. east of the zoological gardens, Zhongshan Ist Rd. in front of the Standing Committee, and Meidong S. Rd. The non-viaduct option for the Liuersan Rd. will result in an insignificant impact. 1.5.6 WVater quality Activities during road widening, building demolition and viaduct construction may produce a great deal of earth and dust. It won't have any significant impact on surface water quality provided timely collection of earth and dusts. Two planned bridges will have no significant impact on water quality if sedimentation is done properly. In [RR operation phase, the vehicle population in center area won't increase, as a result, the amount of pollutants into waterway from non-point sources won't change, therefore, there won't be new impact on the waterway. 1.5.7 Cultural and Heritage Resources Among the 15 cultural and henrtage resources, 2 of the them are at sensitive points, the Shamian Cultural Protection Zone and the Marshal's Court. During construction, the project phase has no other impact on the resources other than dust. During the operational phase, the project will have no significant impact on the Zone due to the widening of the existing Liuersan Road and no significant impact on the Court due to refurbishment and planting of trees. September 1997 Ii Guangzbou IRR Enviromnental Action Plan 1.5.8 Displacement and Resettlement The IRR is 26.2 km long in total (or 26.7 km long with Nantian alignment). The total tloor space to be displaced is 438,339 m2, comprising 180,591 m2 for commercial facilities, industries, and office buildings, and 247,747 m2 for households. There are 1,726 commercial, industrial and office buildings, and 17,259 employees. A total of 6,194 households and 21,679 residents will be displaced. The amount of displacement associated with the selected Nantian Road alignment will be one third of that of T13 alignment. As indicated in above predication, the impact of the IRR along the west, north road sections is not so heavy as along some sections of east, south part of IRR. September 1997 12 Guangzbou IRR Envirnmena Action Plan 2. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES In order to mitigate the environmental pollution caused by the IRR, it's necessary to take some measures. At first, during alignment selection all the impact factors will be comprehensively analyzed and the precaution be conducted to minimize the impact. For example, a ground-level roadway expansion instead of a viaduct was adopted on Liuersan Rd; The Nantian Rd alignment has been selected over the T13; the alignment in front of the Standing Committee building at Zhongshan 1st Rd will be moves south lOm to keep the IRR viaduct 40m away from the building. Secondly, some mitigation measures will be taken on sensitive road sections or sites, e.g. sound absorption pavement, noise absorption barriers, double-glazed windows. Thirdly, long-term mitigation measures will be taken, e.g. transportation control, transportation limit in center commercial area, vehicle emission control project and the rational configuration in city planning. In order to mitigate the negative impact of IRR, In project construction the relative regulations stipulated in Environmental Management Regulations on Construction Projects must be implemented. It must be accomplished to simultaneously design, construct and perform the environment protection facilities with major project. Based on the principles above, the corresponding mitigation measures have been put forward in the EA report. 2.1 DESIGN PHASE Through comparing several options from aspects of engineering technology and environment impact, the IRR alignment has been determined as following: Liuersan Rd - Huangsha Ave - Nanan Rd.- Huanshi W Rd - Huangshi C Rd - Hengfu Rd - Meidong N Rd - Meidong Rd - Zhongshan 1st Rd - Donghua Rd -- Jiangwan Bridge and Haiying Bridge - Nantian Rd - Hongde Rd - Remning Bridge - - Liuersan Rd, the total length is 26.7km. 2.1.1 Noise Reduction Confguration and construction materials * Increasing the number of levels of viaduct, results in more extensive and louder traffic noise. No multiple layer viaduct will be designed except at interchanges. * In order to minimize noise impacts, porous material will be in place of conventional concrete and asphalt for road level smoothness and sound absorption. Based on testing results from Hong Kong, this modification to the road surface can reduce noise by up to 5 dB(A). The sensitive sections will use with sound absorption surface. * Larger structures and the application of flexible joints, as well as minimizing the number of joints (crevices) will be used where feasible to reduce the noise generated due to bumps by vehicles. September 1997 13 Guangzhou IRR Environmenal Action Plan Application of flexible supports, such as rubber plates and bowl shaped supports, will be used where feasible to buffer vibration of the structure and reduce noise level. Sound barrier design The location, shape, matenal(the sound insulation amount must be more than 35dB(A) for the material used in the section of Zoology Garden while 25dB(A) for other sections), and height of sound barriers with roadside absorptive lining is dependent on the function of roadside buildings, noise levels, road configuration, resistance to wind and erosion, safety and urban landscape. As part of the integration of mitigation into project design, the Municipal Design Institute has assisted with the preliminary design of noise mitigation structures as recommended by the EA and other studies. The primaTy structures proposed for noise mitigation are sound barriers, however other methods such as increasing the height of road dividers are also proposed. The locations of areas requiring noise barriers and preliminary design drawings are shown in Figures 2.1-1 to 2.1-7. These drawings have been incorporated for inforrnation only, as they may be modified during the detailed design phase. The originals are available through the Municipal Design Institute. The construction of noise barriers incorporates translucent anti-uv panels to reduce sunshine obstruction. Periodic cleaning of the panels will be required. The cross section drawing for the Zoological Gardens (Figure 2.1-3) illustrates the configuration of the depressed roadway along this section. The retaining wall on the side adjacent to the Zoo is elevated and will be vegetated to provide additional noise protection. Protection of buildings and sensitive receptors adjacent to the road In those newly developing areas and old-city-rebuilding areas, the first row of buildings along the IRR will not be assigned for sensitive uses such as schools, hospitals, libraries and kindergartens, but can be assigned for commercial facilities, parkling lots and other insensitive uses. These measures have been indicated in the Guangzhou Overall Plan and will be implemented under supervision of the Guangzhou Urban Planning Bureau. The term "red line' is a planning term used to descnrbe the permissible limit of development. Which will make full use of the land and reduce the noise impact on the sensitive receptors. Some of the most sensitive receptors are in buildings adjacent to the IRR and near overpasses. The application of sound insulation, such as double-glazed windows, in combination with air conditioning will be dependent on the site-specific situation. For the receptors along the IRR sensitive to sound, the application of noise barriers, double-glazed windows and other mitigation measures will also be based on existing conditions. In order to minimize potential noise impacts, representatives from the Project Office, GESRI and GMDI carried out on-site visits to the sensitive receptors along the IRR and discussed in detail the mitigation measures proposed by GESRI. The parties September 1997 14 Guangzhou IRR Environmental Action PlaD reached agreement on noise control measures as identified in Figure 2.1- 8 as summarized in Table 2.1-1.

Therefore it will be designed to use the quality materials for road surface, e.g., imported asphalt, and road surtace roughness will be rationally controlled. If road surface roughness is I mm lower the vibration level would decrease 4 dB(A). For the IRR, the roughness of the road surface will be less than 4 mm. * The land use function of both sides will be rationally planned, the buildings sensitive to vibration will not be permitted within 40 m of the road.

Its enviromnental impact depends on street width, land use and sensitive receptors. The environmental assessment on air quality, noise and landscape identified that the impact on N-W IRR is not so significant as on roadways of south and east IRR. Preferred Alignments W, Liuersan Rd. selected over Heping Rd.; N, Huanshi C. Rd. selected over North Railway and Zhiyuangang Rd. N-E, Meidong N. Rd. selected over Huanshi E. Rd.; E, Meidong Rd. selected over Shuiying Rd. and Guangzhou Avenue. T13 was initially chosen from alternative alignments T13, Yanjiang Rd., and Ma Gully - liangnan W. Rd. - Nantian Rd. Nantian Rd. was ultimately selected since the narrow T13 may cause difficulty for viaduct construction and excessive traffic noise and air pollution. Landscape Concerns o The Shamian Island. The additional viaduct on Liuersan Road would not only increase the environmental load of the adjacent area but also have significant impact on the surrounding landscape. Under the situation, the construction and designing department have decided to widen the existing ground roadway rather than to add a viaduct. * The Zoological Gardens. Ground road on Meidong Road, instead of a viaduct, was selected in order to maintain a good environment for the Zoo to the west. * The Standing Committee building. The Standing Committee of Guangdong Provincial People's Congress building requires wide open space in the front. To ensure compatibility between the viaduct and the building, it was decided that the viaduct moves south 10 m to 40 m and was configured to blend with the surroundings. The road section covers 160 m from Dadao Road intersection to Nonglin Road (E) intersection. 2.1.5 Sunshine Obstruction * During alignment selection, the demand to maintain a 5 m setback between adjacent buildings and the red line of the IRR will be basically satisfied. September 1997 18 Guangzhou IRR Environmentat Action Plan 2.1.6 Resettlement * Consideration for minimizing resettlement during alignment selection aW;d engineering design resulted in a reduced requirement for demolition and resettlement. 2.1.7 Summary Table 2.1-4 summarizes the mitigation and responsibility for implementation that has been incorporated or is proposed during the design phase of the project to assist in minimizng potential impacts.

Contractors must abide by the provisions for construction noise prevention and control in the Rules for Environmental Noise Prevention and Control in Guangzhou. It is prohibited to use steam, diesel engines and impact piling in all the project sites, and concrete mixers in the areas designated by the municipal authonrties The following mitigation measures will be enforced. The use of noisy machinery, such as percussion hammers, pneumatic dnlls and rock crushers during the middle of the day (12:00-14:00) and during night time (22:00-06:00) will be prohibited. Limits for noise at construction sites are presented below: Table 2.2-1 Noise Standard for Boundaries of Construction Sites GB12523-90 (Leq dB(A)) ACTIVIrY NOISE SOURCE NOISE LIMTATION day-tiTne nigbt-time Earthwork bulldozer, excavator 75 55 Pile piling machinery 85 D no operation Structure concrete mixer 70 55 Decoration crane, elevator 65 55 D Employ low noise machinery, or machinery with noise shielding and/or sound absorption materials, e.g., on-site power generator with enclosure; * Codes of Good Practice. Contractors will rationalize work timetable and sittings, keep noisy operations away from sensitive points, carry out regular maintenance and repairs, and enforce strict implementation of operation procedures; and - Construction structures such as viaduct structures widely used in the IR.R, must be prefabricated off-site and then transported for installation. 2.2.2 Vibration * To mitigate vibration of large construction machinery, contractors will abide by the Rules for Environmental Noise Prevention and Control in Guangzhou. ft is prohibited to use steam, diesel engines and impact piling in all the project sites, and concrete mixers can only be used in areas designated by the municipal authorities. * Except for emergency engineering, operation of strong vibration machinery will be limited to 07:00-12:00, and 14:00-22:00. Any extension of operation time must be approved by the municipal construction authorities and be carried out with appropriate mitigation measures in place. * Operation of excavators will be restricted to designated areas approved by the GEPB. * Low vibration level machinery will be used and be subject to regular maintenance and repairs. September 1997 20 Guangzbou IRR Environmenal Action Plan 2.2.3 Air Quality The IRR construction will take a number of years and cover wide areas. Mitigation measures to prevent or reduce dust include the following: v Site enclosure structures and water spraying will be used to reduce dust dispersion and pollution. * Transportation corridors will be located away from residential communities and other sensitive points, vehicles transporting materials will be covered with tarpaulin to prevent dirt and soil from dropping and be washed before leaving the loading or unloading materials sites. * Measures to minimize dust due to on-site mixing and unloading operations will be implemented. * Concrete mixing stations will be located off-site and away from the city center. * Proper operation, maintenance and repair of power generators and construction machinery will be carried out to minimize emissions. 2.2.4 Ecology and Landscape The following measures will be implemented: D Maintain a quiet environment for animals in the Zoological Gardens west of the Meidong Road; i Preserve existing vegetation. e Preserve cultural relics. 2.2.5 Sunshine Sunshine obstruction caused by construction equipment and temporarily erected structures will be minimized. 2.2.6 Water Quality Viaduct Construction Road expansion and building demolition generates a lot of debris and dust. Most of the IRR alignment is on existing roadways and the new routes include parts of the T13, Nantian Road and Meidong N. Road. Rainfall contributes to runoff and flow to the waterways through a combined sewage system. * The most important countermeasure is cleaning and efficient collection and can prevent or minimize impacts on surface water quality and reduce the potential to clog sewers. * The extent of ground excavation will be minimized. * Diversion channels will be used on downward slopes where there is a potential for runoff to enter surface drainage systems. Bridge Construction September 1997 21 Guangzbou IRR Enviromental Acidon Plan On the 1RR there will be new bridge east to the existing Renmin Bridge. Measures such as the creation of settling ponds will be taken to minimize siltation of waterways during activities related to construction of the bridge piers. Contingency Plan There has been a series of emergency plan, system and management organization in Guangzhou. The relevant personnel have been trained and possesed corresponding rich treatment experience. In order to prevent water pollution of the Pearl River and gullies from accidental spills of fuels and hazardous chemicals and avoid accidental leakage during the transportation of dangerous goods, the department of transportation regulates certification. As a rule, the Public Security Bureau issues permits for the transportation of dangerous goods. If an accident does occur, it will be handled by the Environmental Protection Bureau, public security, and transportation departments accordingly. Certificates and permits for transportation of dangerous goods T The City of Guangzhou's dangerous goods transportation regulation (Guangzhou No.128, 1994) stipulates: transportation of dangerous goods must be approved by the city transportation department, and a certificate permitting road transportation must be obtained; the motor vehicle being used must be in good condition with corresponding equipment for fire protection and a dangerous goods sign. it also stipulates that no three-wheel motor vehicle, ttor, non-motorized vehicle or motorcycle be allowed to carry dangerous goods. * To transport explosive and chemical dangerous goods, carriers must obtain a permit for explosive goods transportation or a permit for hazardous chemical transportation from the Public Security Bureau. Response to accidents . The National Environmental Protection Law stipulates that when there is an accident or incident, the responsible organization will take action immediately; inform the affected or possibly affected organizations and residents; report to the local Environmental Protection Bureau and other related organizations, and submit to any investigation required. If any dangerous goods leakage or accident occurs on the IRR, according to the National Water, Atmosphere Pollution Prevention Law and the City of Guangzhou's pollution prevention management regulation, the accident will be handled by the Environmental Protection Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and transportation departments. 2.2.7 Cultural and Heritage Resources Along the IRR there are only two heritage sites, i.e., Shamian Island and the Marshal's Court which can be affected by noise. It has been determined that other September 1997 22 Guangzhou IRR Envinmmental Action Plan than measures related to noise, no additional site-specific mitigation measures are required for the protection of Cultural and Heritage Resources. In the unliely event of the discovery of heritage resources during excavation, operation will be stopped at once, it will be reported to the authonrties in charge and treated under their commends. 2.2.8 Summary Table 2.2-2 summarizes the mitigation and responsibility for implementation that is proposed during the construction phase of the project to assist in minimizing potential impacts.

Together with the Environment Monitoring center, the traffic police branch of the Public Security Bureau implement regular vehicle noise inspection. One of the most effective wvays of reducing traffic noise is to eliminate noisy vehicles, to undertake noise control planning and to establish noise control objectives for Guangzhou. * The traffic police branch of the Public Security Bureau is in charge of designating relevant regulation such as restricting overloaded and heavy duty vehicle traffic on viaducts and limiting vehicle speed, especially at night. * Sound barriers and viaduct pavement will be regularly inspected and maintained by the Municipal Engineering Repair department. 2.3.2 Vibration The rougher the road surface becomes due to wear over time, the stronger the vibration. in addition, vibration will increase if changes occur to fleet composition and speed pattem, e.g., a greater proportion of heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles and/or faster traffic. * To prevent and reduce traffic vibration duing the operational phase to meet the requirements for various zones prescnrbed by the Environmental Vibration Standard for Urban Areas GB10070-88, attention will be paid to road structure and efficient road and traffic management. * Regulations are to be imposed for restricting passage of heavy-duty trucks through sensitive road sections at night and speed limit restrictions will be placed on heavy and medium-duty trucks on the IRR. It is in the range of duty for the traffic police branch of the Public Security Bureau. 2.3.3 Air Quality - Motor Vehicle Emission Control One component of the overall Guangzhou City Center Transport Project is the Proposal for Vehicle Emission Control Research. The objective of the proposal is to provide a strong foundation for a research program and associated strategies to address the problem of increasing air pollution from mobile sources. The main components of the program are: - to use unleaded gasoline - to establish a vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (ILM) system - to establish a Guangzhou vehicle emission research center * - to expand the automated monitoring network of Guangzhou to monitor air quality September 1997 24 Guangzhou IRR Emviromental Action Plan Unleaded Fuel Compared with many large and medium sized cities in China, Guangzhou is in the position which is favorable for the introduction and promotion of unleaded fuel. The Guangzhou Petrochemical Complex is able to produce unleaded gasoline on a scale which is feasible for local introduction and the citizens are aware of the importance of environmental protection. The public will also support to use unleaded fuel. GZ municipal government has decided to use unleaded fuel in overall Guangzhou since Oct, 1, 1997, the unleaded fuel will also be used in overall Guangdong province in 1998, therefore, with the IRR implement, the lead pollution won't be resulted from vehicles. Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I,7') Program The vehicle I/M will have three-phase .The initial phase will include the following: a management structure will be developed and proposed to the municipality; the present f/M program will be expanded to 18 sites and upgraded; and a motorcycle emission l/M pilot station and a training center will be established. Phases 2 and 3 will see the continuation of training efforts, provision of equipment for monitoring the results of the testing program and increasing the inspection activities. Vehicle Emission Research CenSer The main function of this component is to establish a centralized vehicle research facility and the administrative management necessary for the monitoring and control of vehicle pollution. 'Te main objectives are to: - conduct research on the inspection and testing of vehicle emissions; - support and execute the D/M of in-use vehicles; - study and support vehicle pollution control technologies including the use of unleaded gasoline, and catalytic converters; - facilitate the random inspection of vehicles; and - develop a means of technical supervision for monitoring and control of vehicle emissions. The proposed research center would consist of an I/M station for staff training and conducting research; an advanced vehicle testing area to support the testing of potential emission control technologies; and a center dedicated to conducting emissions research on engines. A utomated A ir Quality Monitoring Network The establishment of an automated monitoring system will assist the GEPB to understand the dynamics of air quality in the city and the associated contribution of vehicle emissions to the overall air pollution. This resource is necessary to assess the benefits of the other components of the MVPC proposal. In addition the network will be helpful in the improvement of traffic management, environmental program management, policy perfectness and public awareness. September 1997 25 Guangzhou IRR Environental Action Plan The automated system, consisting of the monitoring substations and a controlling center, would be achieved by upgrading two to three existing stations and establishing two new stations. Among the parameters to be monitored are traffic condition factors, emission concentrations of various parameters and meteorological conditions. 2.3.4 Ecology and Landscape It is necessary to preserve the existing green spaces along roadways and plant more trees along the new sections of the IRR. The road sections that require tree planting include Meidong Road North (1,900 meters), Meidong Road (795 meters), Zhongshan Road-Jiangwan Xing Chen (3,290 meters), Baogang Road North (930 meters) and Nantian Road (2,600 meters). Total length of the road sections in the North section of the IRR is 6,075 meters and 3,530 meters in the South. 2.3.5 Sunshine In newly developing and rebuilt area, nurseries, kindergartens will be located at the roadsides with Class I sunshine level, the teaching buildings of school along roadsides with Class 2 sunshine level, and not in the first row buildings along the aligrunent. . These measures have been indicated in the Guangzhoul Overall Plan and will be implemented under supervision of the Guangzhou Urban Planning Bureau 2.3.6 Water Quality - An emergency plan will be developed to prevent water pollution in the Pearl River and gulies from accidental spills of fuels and hazardous chemicals during operation (See Section 2.2.6). TMe height of guard board on viaduct along the waterways will be increased to prevent hazardous materials from dropping into watenvays in case of emergency; the sewage from viaduct will be discharged into the collection pond to be treated in mass. 2.3.7 Summary Table 2.3-1 summarizes the mitigation and responsibility for implementation that has been incorporated or is proposed during the operation phase of the project to assist in minimizing potential impacts.

September 1997 29 Guangzhou IRR Envirornmental Action Plan 3. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN Environmental Monitoring is normally undertaken during both construction and operation phases to ensure the effectiveness of mitigation measures, to respond to unanticipated enviromnental concerns at an early stage and to determine the accuracy of impact predictions. Specific monitoring programs are outlined by phase as well as responsibilities for the collection and analysis of data and the reporting requirements. The purposes of the environmental monitoring plan are to a) evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures; b) respond to unanticipated environmental impacts when the IRR is under construction; c) provide supporting information for formulating regulations and improving traffic management and environmental controls, based on monitoring data. The monitoring will be undertaken by Guangzhou Environmental Scientific Research Institute. The automated system, as one component of the Proposal for Vehicle Emission Control Research, consisting of the monitoring substations and a controlling center, will be achieved by upgrading two to three existing stations and establishing two new stations. Among the parameters to be monitored are traffic condition factors, emission concentrations of various parameters and meteorological conditions. The establishment of the automated monitoring system will assist the GEPB to understand the dynamics of air quality in the city and the associated contribution of vehicle emissions to the overall air pollution. This resource is necessary to assess the benefits of the other components of the MVPC proposal. In addition, the network will be helpful in the improvement of traffic management, environmental program management, policy perfectness and public awareness. Therefore, the new automated monitoring stations won't be set up exclusively for IRR monitoring. The data from the automated monitoring system mentioned above will be fully utilized for analysis. 3.1 SAMPLING LOCATIONS 3.1.1 Construction Phase Monitoring frequency will be once in a season in the construction phase. Ten sampling points for noise, vibration and 7 sampling points for air quality are proposed: Shamian, Guangzhou Railway Hospitaljust for noise and vibration), Guangzhou Normal Primary School, Hengfu High School, Guangzhou Zoological Gardens, Guangdong Family Planning Research Institute(just for noise and vibration), Guangzhou Railway Dongshan Kindergarten(just for noise and vibration), Dongshan People's Hospital, eastern Baogang N. Road (Shushe Village) and guangdong medical college. Surface water quality monitonng sampling will take place on the upper and lower reaches of renming Bridge, and two locations to be determrined at sensitive construction sites (Figure 3.1-1). 3.1.2 Operation Phase Monitoring frequency will be once in a season in the operation phase. The same ten sampling points for noise, vibration and air quality are proposed for the operation September 1997 30 Guangzhou IRR Environmental Action Plan phase monitoring (Figure 3.1-1). No surface water quality sampling is proposed for the operation phase. 3.1.3 Parameters, Frequency And Duration The following table outlines in summary the recommended sampling program for both the construction and operation.

An overseas training program is proposed for 6 Environment Protection professional technical and managerial personnel from GESRI, etc. Contractors enviromnental awareness and appropriate knowledge of environmental protection is critical to the successful implementation of the EAP. A domestic training program is proposed to train contractors who will be involved in the IRR construction and EP professional staff from managerial organization involving in IRR operation September 1997 38 Guangzhou [RR Environmental Action Plan 4.2.6.1 International Training Table 412- International Training TRAINING ON Urban Noise Control Techniques Environmental Impact Assessment Metbodologies on Risk Assessment Public Consultation and Evaluation Geographical Information Systems for environrmental decision making and analysis Vehicle Emission Testing and Polution Control Technologies Pollution Prevention Through Traffic Management Water Pollution Control Appcation of eco_noc policies fr Envionmental Magement Optimization technis and cost Benefit Analysis Monitoring and modeling of urban transport pollution TRAINING NST1TUTIONS Overseas (e.g. Canada) NUMBER OF TRAINEES 6 TRAING PERIODS 6 weeks A six-week overseas training program is proposed to provide Chinese trainees fromn above organizations with practical, hands-on experience and skills related to enviromnental management of urban transport or similar projects. The objectives of this training program will be accomplished through technical sessions, institutionuI visits (environmental regulatory agencies, research labs, and universities), field trips (to environmental facilities and project sites) and informal discussions and hands-on practical expenence through placement at offices of enviromnental consulting firms. Such a training program will enhance the technical, manageral and operatonal skills of the trainees. They will be exposed methodologies for environmental assessment and monitonng of projects relevant to urban transport. They will observe vehicle testing and pollution control technologies, the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for environmental decision maldng analysis and noise and air pollution modeling. Furthermore, the training will provide the trainees with the skills required to enhance the successful implementation of the IRR and other projects. 4.Z.6.2 Domestic Training Program It is critical to train contractors and IRR administrative staff who will be involved in the construction and operation of the IRR. Without appropriate enviromnental awareness and knowledge and skills required for the implementation of the mitigation measures, it would be difficult for contractors to implement effective environmental protection measures. A taining program wil train the contractors prior to the commencement of any project activities. A summary of this program is presented in Table 4.2-9 and associated costs for both programs are shown in and Table 4.2-10.
