ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL BASELINES The description of the prior-project environment (biophysical, ecological and socio-economic) establishes (i) the environmental setting within which the project will be implemented, and therefore needs to be designed to suit, and (ii) the environmental values which will be changed (either negatively or positively) by the project. 4.1 Natural Environment Landform: The project area is located in the Jingzhou Municipality, which between the mountainous area in the west with maximum elevation of 815 m and the plain area in the east with elevation below 50 m. The landform mainly features with mountains and hills in the west and north and low-lying ground in the east. The mountainous area accounts for 1840 km2, or 13.1% of total area in the municipality. The plain area accounts for 12219 km2, or 86.9% of total area in the municipality. Climate: The Jingzhou Municipality has a subtropical monsoon climate that favors agricultural production. The yearly average temperature varies in the range from 15.9 oC to 16.6 oC. The annual precipitation is in the range from 1100 mm to 1300 mm. River system: The Jingzhou Municipality has many river and lakes with total area more than 80,000 ha. In the Historic Town the river system is composed of the moat and a series of inner lakes and ponds including the Xihu Lake, the Beihu Lake (also called Sanguo Park), the Ximachi Pond, and other ponds. The total water area is 0.88 km2 including the moat (0.61 km2) and the lakes and ponds (0.27 km2). Ecological environment: The project areas are mainly in the urban area. The ecological systems feature mainly the urban ecological system, with some small forest, grassland or wetland ecological systems that are heavily affected by human activities. On the old town wall, there are many kinds of vegetations including trees, shrubs, and grasses, which, together with the animals dwelled in them, form an ecological corridor surrounding the entire town. This corridor has significance of biodiversity in the local ecological system. The project also involves the water networks including the moat and several ponds. The wetlands near these waters are also main protection targets of this project. - 12 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project 4.2 Socio-economic Context The Jingzhou Municipality is located in the west of Hubei Province, with an area of 14067 km2 and a population of 6.4 million. The Jingzhou Municipality recorded a GDP of 133.49 billion CNY in 2013, a 10.4 % increase from the previous year. Under the municipality’s jurisdiction, there are 3 county level cities, 3 counties, and 2 districts. The proposed project is located in the Jingzhou District. The income level in Jingzhou Municipality are summarized in the Table below. Table 4 Income level in the Historic Town Indicator 2013 2012 Per capita income (RMB) 20047.15 18027.58 Per capita disposable income (RMB) 18705.9 17010.34 Per capita expense (RMB) 17564.97 16143.57 Per capita consumer spending (RMB) 12760.69 11881.35 Per capita housing (m2) - 37.72 The Historic Town is under the Jingzhou District. The town is 3.75 km long in east-to-west direction and 1.2 km wide in south-to-north direction. The total area is 4.5 km2. Within the town there are 106,240 registered residents. Among these people, approximately 1700 belongs to minority ethnic groups including Tujia, Manchu, Hui, Monglian, Hmong, Zhuang, Uygur, Dong, Zhang and Buyi, Li, Yi and Yao. However, these minorities are blended in the Han groups with no clustered concentrated minority residential areas. In the Historic Town, there are 2494 poverty household (or 5196 people) receiving poverty subsidy. 4.3 Special Environmental and Social Sensitive Sites/Areas The Component A is focusing on the conservation of the cultural heritage sites and the development of tourism facilities. The sensitive sites are mainly the cultural heritage sites and the residents in proximity to these works. The Component B is focusing on the upgrade of the water networks. Therefore the sensitive sites are mainly the water bodies and residents in proximity to the works. The Component C is focusing on the upgrade of the facilities for the transportation system. The sensitive sites are mainly the residents in proximity to these facilities. Physical Cultural Resources Jingzhou is a famous city with historic significance. The municipality is rich in tourism resource especially due to its historic cultural resources. Within its jurisdiction, there are 595 cultural heritage sites among which 15 are national level protection units, 52 are provincial level protection units and 527 are municipal level protection units. The historic cultural resources in the project area are summarized in the Table below.

IMPACTS ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES The proposed project aims at assisting Jingzhou Municipality in conserving its cultural heritage, promoting tourism development and enhancing the quality of life of residents in the perimeters around the Historic City, it can bring in multi-folder positive benefits. The positive benefits include (1) improvement of ecological environment and water quality in the river networks; (2) improvement in employment opportunity and income level through the tourism development; (3) improvement in living conditions through better accessibility; and (4) improvement in cultural heritage protection and conservation. Meanwhile, there are also potential adverse environmental and social impacts envisaged during the project construction and operation stages. These potential impacts are mostly temporary impacts related to construction activities. Based on the environmental impacts assessment reports and social safeguards documents, the manageable adverse impacts are primarily related to:(i) impacts on ecological environment; (ii) impacts on river systems; (iii) impacts on physical cultural resources, (iv) community impacts such as resettlement in urban and rural areas, noise, dust, odour, solid waste, community disturbance and safety etc, and (v) social impacts. These impacts are carefully assessed in EIA and SA, and measures have been developed in ESMP and RAP. In summary, the project will not have significant adverse environmental and social impacts, will not result in significant degradation or conversion of ecological environment, and will not have significant impact on physical cultural resources. The mitigation measures in the ESMP would effectively avoid, minimize, mitigate and/or compensate the impacts to acceptable levels. The key findings of potential impacts and mitigation measures are summarized as follows: 5.1 Impacts on Ecological Environment Vegetation. The project is located mostly in urban areas that have been disturbed by intensive human activities. According to the field investigation conducted by the EIA consultant, there is - 15 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project only vegetation along the old city walls in the project area. Other areas are developed with minimal vegetation. The project will permanently acquire 17.94 mu of state owned construction land. The occupation of these lands will cause permanent vegetation loss in the area. However the field investigation also confirmed that these areas are current developed with housing buildings. Therefore the vegetation loss is not significant, especially as there will be post-construction landscaping to offset any potential vegetation loss. It is noticed that there are some cypress trees in the project area. Special care is needed during construction to avoid damage to these trees. Necessary protection measures have been identified and included in the ESMP. Aquatic system. The project will temporarily acquire 566.5 mu land for storage and treatment of sediments from Component B. The lands to be used are currently polluted fish ponds. The sedimentation storage will have adverse impacts on the aquatic ecological environment. However these ponds are used as fish farm with artificially control ecological system instead of primeval aqua-ecological system. When the construction is completed, the fish ponds will be restored. To address these temporary potential impacts, necessary mitigation measures have been incorporated into the ESMP. The dredging will have adverse impacts on the aquatic system in the moat and lakes. The EIA suggested segmenting the dredging activities to minimize impacts on the aquatic system. When the dredging is completed, the river functions will be restored immediately. Given that the moat and lakes are not specific spawning sites or migrating routes for fishes, and wild lives species are common in the region, these dredging activities will not cause detrimental impacts on the aquatic ecological systems. Strict mitigation measures and monitoring schedules have been developed and included in the ESMP. 5.2 Impacts on River system There are 3 major water bodies subject to the wastewater impacts and dredging impact during construction and operation stages. The wastewaters during construction are mainly construction wastewater, domestic wastewater and sediment filtrate. The construction wastewater is mainly from the cleansing water of vehicles and equipments that contains high SS and oil content. The domestic wastewater is mainly from the construction worker and has high content of COD, BOD and SS. Among these wastewaters, the sediments filtrate will have the highest volume, reaching up to 1400 m3/day. The sediment filtrate contains high SS, COD, TN, and TP. To address these impacts, adequate mitigation measures have been developed in the EIA and in the ESMP, such as collecting and treating the construction wastewater through oil-separation and sedimentation, and recycling the wastewater after treatment; maximizing the use the local facility to reduce domestic wastewater; add coagulants to sediment filtrate as pre-treatment to Standard IA before discharging into the moat; and proper management of material storage and construction site drainage. The dredging can cause re-suspension of sediments and release of pollutants contained in the sediments. The EIA strongly suggested using environment-friendly dredging technologies to minimize the environmental impact. With application of advance technologies and equipments, the impact area of dredging can be reduced to less than 5 meters. During operation the wastewaters are mainly the domestic wastewater from the tourists brought by the improved tourism facilities. The wastewater will be conveyed to the Caoshi Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment. Therefore it will not impact the river system in the town. During - 16 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project operation, the flow augments by improved connectivity and pumping houses will cause increased flow rate. Discrete monitoring and control can reduce the sediments re-suspended and pollutant release if the flow rates do not exceed certain range. In addition, mitigation measures have been developed to mitigate accidents-induced impacts by enforcing speed limit when crossing sensitive water bodies. All these measures have been included in the EIA and ESMP. 5.3 Physical Cultural Resource There are six physical cultural resources in the project area, among them 5 are direct target of protection in Component A. Currently most of the cultural heritage sites, especially the city wall, are in poor condition. This project will improve the physical conditions of the cultural heritage sites. At the same time, this project will support the capacity development in cultural heritage protection and management to achieve sustainable cultural heritage conservation. Component A is specifically designed to conserve the physical cultural heritage in the Historic Town. The interventions include: (1) use reversible technology to repair the main body of the cultural heritage; (2) reinforce the carrier of the cultural heritage; (3) monitor and prevent natural disaster; and (4) Strengthen cultural heritage management. These inventions will not adversely impact the main body of the heritage, but will improve the social value of the cultural heritage. Therefore the project will have significant positive impacts on the physical cultural resource. During the construction stage, improper protection plans or improper construction conduct will cause potential adverse impact to the cultural heritage. Therefore the EIA requires that all the protection plans must be prepared by professionals and must achieve permit from local authorities prior to implementation. In addition, trainings need to be provided to the construction workers to improve the awareness of the cultural heritage protection to avoid potential impact from misconduct. During operation, the cultural heritages are subject to natural weathering and pollutant from increased tourists. Therefore, routine monitoring and management are required. Both of the measures and requirements in construction stage and operation stages have been included in the ESMP. With these measures properly implemented, the potential adverse impacts on these physical cultural resources can be effectively mitigated. Other than the cultural heritage sites mentioned, chance-find relics are possible during project implementation. The reporting and protection procedures have also been developed and included in the EIA and ESMP. 5.4 Community Impacts (1)Land Acquisition and Resettlement The community development in the proposed project will have social impacts related to the need for land acquisition and demolition of a number of structures. There will be a total of 17.94 mu of State owned lands to be permanently acquired which are mostly construction land. The acquisition of this land will affect 38 household (125 people) and 2 institutes. A total of 8180 m2 GFA (gross floor area) of buildings will be demolished on this land, among which 3980 m2 are household buildings and 4200 m2 are shops and office buildings owned by the 2 institutes. In addition there will be 566.5 mu of collective owned land to be temporarily acquired during construction, in which 317 mu belongs to the city gardening bureau and the other 249.5 mu belongs to the Jingcheng Village. To address the community impacts of land acquisition and resettlement, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been prepared in line with relevant Chinese laws and regulations, and World - 17 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project Bank OP 4.12. The RAP has adequately addressed the impact, compensation standards, institutional arrangement, public participation with consideration of gender issues, budget arrangement and grievance redress mechanism. (1) Noise and Dust There are a total of 1985 households and 3 institutes as sensitive receptors subject to noise and dust impacts during construction and noise impact during operation. The noise sources during construction mainly come from construction machines/equipment and material hauling vehicles. Along with noise, earth excavation, backfilling and pavement can cause secondary dust impacts on nearby communities. Such noise and dust impact is of temporary nature, but can be a major nuisance to the local communities. To address such nuisance, adequate mitigation measures have been developed in the EIA and in the ESMP, e.g. ban of night-time construction near communities; proper arrangement of construction schedule to avoid impacts on schools; enforcement of speed and horning control; utilization of low noise techniques and maintenance of machinery/vehicles; application of frequent water-spraying to quench dust; enforcement of truck cover for material transportation; enforcement of proper management of material storage; timely removal of spoil waste etc. With effective implementation of the mitigation measures, the nuisance of noise and dust from construction can be adequately mitigated. During operation stage, the traffic on the project roads will have potential impacts of vehicle noise on the nearby communities. Traffic noise mitigation measures for those communities subject to noise exceeding applicable standard have been developed and budgeted in the ESMP, including vehicle control and speed limit/no-horning signage. During operation stage, the operation of the project facilities, i.e. venting and air conditioning system of parking lot, and pumping system in pumping houses, will also have potential impacts of equipment noise on the nearby communities. Mitigation measures such as adoption of low-noise equipments and sound attenuation walls are proposed in the EIA and included in the ESMP. During operation stage, the tourism facilities will receive larger volume of tourist which will bring in social noises. However, the noise prediction results suggested that the noise level in the tourist centers will not exceed standard value limits. (2) Exhaust gas and odor There are a total of 1985 households and 3 institutes as sensitive receptors subject to exhaust gas impacts during construction and exhaust gas and odour impact during operation. The exhaust gas sources during construction mainly come from construction machines/equipment and material hauling vehicles. Such impact is of temporary nature, and will not be a major nuisance to the local communities. During operation the exhaust gas sources mainly come from vehicles on the project roads. The odour source mainly come from the WTPs, toilets and garbage collection and transfer stations. With effective implementation mitigation measures, the nuisance of exhaust gas and odour can be adequately mitigated. These measures are also included in the ESMP, such as timely cleanup and transfer of garbage, routinely spray of odour quenching materials, etc. - 18 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project (3) Solid waste There are a total of 1985 households and 3 institutes as sensitive receptors subject to solid waste impacts during construction and operation. The solid wastes during construction are mainly the construction waste, the demolishing waste and the domestic waste from construction workers. Mitigating measures have been developed according to the national regulation, i.e. the Standards for Construction Site Environmental Management, and included in the ESMP, such as reusing the spoil for filling and landscaping, enhance construction site management, and timely collect and transport offsite, etc. The solid wastes during operation are mainly the domestic garbage, sewage treatment sludge, and medical wastes. Mitigating measures have been developed and included in the ESMP, such as enhance community garbage management by timely collecting and transferring, sludge beneficiary use for farm land application etc. The medical waste will be deemed as hazardous waste and be stored with specific container and handled by qualified contractors. (4) Traffic Disturbance and Safety Construction activities will inevitably cause disturbance on traffic, including blocking or narrowing existing road surface, traffic congestion, increase of material hauling vehicles through communities etc. These will adversely impact the daily life of nearby communities and villages, and cause potential increase of traffic accidents. To address these impacts, mitigation measures have been developed in the Social Management Plan (ESMP), e.g. safety fences and signs; traffic diversion plan and staff; information disclosure and prior notice; community safety education; community participatory monitoring; ongoing public consultation plan during construction etc. 5.5 Social Impacts Component A. The city wall upgrade will significant improve the attraction of to the tourists and can have significant economic benefits due to increased tourist volume. However it will also have potential adverse impacts as the construction will disturb the normal business of the markets and shops. In addition, the current traffic bottleneck lies in the gates of the city walls, the construction of these gates will further increase the traffic pressure. Component B. Currently the poor water quality in the moat has become a social problem. The rehabilitation of the moat can significantly improve the water quality. In addition, the post-project moat will become another attraction in the town and bring in extra economic benefits. Component C. The upgrade of the transportation system can alleviate the traffic pressure in the town. The overall needs of land acquisition and resettlement are summarized in the Table below. Table 7 Needs of Land acquisition and resettlement State Temporary Demolishe Affected Affected Affected Subprojects owned land d GFA, m2 institutions shops households land, mu acquisition, and people mu East Gate Tourist 17.94 0 8180 2 13 38/125 - 19 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project Center Dredging and 0 566.50 0 0 0 0 wetland Total 17.94 566.50 8180 2 13 38/125 The compensation standards have been studied and implementation arrangements have been prepared. For the permanent and temporary land acquisition, relevant provincial compensation regulations will be followed to assess the appropriate compensation standards. For the buildings to be demolished on these acquired lands, the entities can either choose for monetary compensation or property swap. Independent property evaluation agencies will be used determine the compensation standards. For the shops on these acquired lands, compensation will be provided both for relocation and for business disturbance. Compensation and livelihood restoration will be provided to 38 resettled households. Vulnerable groups will be giver special care in the resettlement process. The households can choose at their will monetary resettlement or property swap resettlement. Current they are planned to be resettled in the Binhu Community which is approximately 500 m from their current locations. Detailed compensation standards and implementation arrangements are summarized in the RP. In the project affected areas, there are no clustered ethnic minority groups identified and the project implementation will not cause special impact to ethnic minority people. 5.6 Induced Impacts After the project is completed, it is estimated the tourist visit will increase. The increased volume of tourists will produce approximately 36 m3/day of wastewater and 0.61 tons/day of garbage. The sewer service in the historic town area is covered by the Chennan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and the Caoshi WWTP. The Chennan WWTP has a design capacity of 140,000 m3/day and is currently operating at 47,400 m3/day (average). The Caoshi WWTP has a design capacity of 120,000 m3/day and is currently operating at 26,900 m3/day (average). Therefore the WWTPs have sufficient treatment capacity to address the increased domestic wastewater from tourists. The garbage treatment service is covered by Jimei Waste-to-Energy Plant in Jinan Township to the south of the Jingzhou City. The plant is approximately 7 km away from the Historic Town. The Plant has a design capacity of 1000 tons/day which is sufficient to address the increased garbage production from tourists. 6. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 6.1 With/Without Project The proposed project has many advantages as it can help (1) protect the physical cultural heritage in the project area; (2) improve the living condition and promote the sustainable tourism development; (3) facilitate the overall tourism development in Jingzhou Municipality; (4) create a basis for economic re-structuring; (5) facilitate the development of new urban area. While the proposed project will bring in significant environmental and social benefits, it will also bring in some adverse social and environmental impacts during implementation including the - 20 - China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project construction and operation phases. The construction phase impacts mainly include some social and environmental disturbance such as traffic congestion, noise, wastewater, solid waste and vegetation damage. However, most of the impacts are temporary in nature and can be avoided or mitigated through proper measures. The operation phase impacts mainly include the waste (air, water, and solid waste) produced by the increased volume of tourists and the cultural interference brought by the tourists. Fortunately most of these impacts can also be mitigated through proper measures. The mitigation measures have been summarized in the safeguard documents including the EIA and the ESMP. 6.2 Dredging The EIA compared dry dredging (use cofferdam to form a dry area and use excavator to remove the sediment) and wet dredging (use dredging boat to cut and suck the sediment out). The dry dredging methods have the advantage of lower cost, however the drying of sediments will occupy large area of land and can lead to secondary pollution. The wet dredging methods, on the other hand, have insignificant impacts on the environment. In addition there are more choices of disposal methods for the sediments from wet dredging methods. Therefore it creates opportunity of beneficial utilization of the sediments. Therefore the wet dredging method is recommended. 6.3 Sediments disposal For sediments disposal, the EIA compared sanitary landfill, incineration and land application methods. The land application method has the minimal impact on water environment, on ecological system, on social and landscaping effects. Therefore the land application method is recommended. The complete sediments flow diagram is illustrated in the Figure below: Wet dredging 301,900 m3 Through pipes. Packaged drying system Effluent discharged to the water networks Dry sediment 160,000 m3 (<40% water content) 110,000 m3 will be used in the construction activities. Jinzhou Urban Investment Company will handle the remaining - 21 - 50,000 m3 dry sediment China: Hubei Jinzhou Historic Town Restoration and Protection Project Quality testing to ensure compliance Used in Landscaping; Used in Land cleanup 7.
