Foreword The EAP of Rural Roads Improvement Program (RRIP) of the World Bank-Financed Jiangxi No.2 Highway Project is compiled on the basis of the EIA reports of the four RRIP components namely (1) Suichuan-Chezhiao Road (RRIP I ); (2) Yutian-Xinjiang Road (RRIP2); (3) Shashibu-Wangmudu Road (RRIP3); and.Tangjiang-Dongshan Road (RRIP4). The mitigation measures, monitoring and training plans have been discussed and have gained consensus among the departments of design, resettlement and environment, approved by both the Project Office and Jiangxi Provincial Expressways Administration Bureau. The EAP for the four Rural Roads Improvement Program component is organized and implemented by the Jiangxi Provincial Communications Department. The Jiangxi Provincial Expressways Administration Bureau, the Tailhe-Ganzhou Expressway Project Office, and the Jiangxi Provincial Expressways Investment and Development Co. Ltd. are responsible for the environmental protection of the project during its design, construction and operation stages. The preparation basis for this project is as follows: (1) People's Republic of China Law on Environmental Protection (Dec.26, 1989); (2) People's Republic of China Law on Water and Soil Conservation (June 29 1991); (3) People's Republic of China Law on Land Management (Aug.29, 1998); (4) People's Republic of China Law on Environmental Noise Pollution Control (Oct.29, 1996); (5) People's Republic of China Law on Water Pollution Control (May 15, 1996), (6) People's Republic of China Law on Atmospheric Pollution Control (Dec.29, 1995); (7) People's Republic of China Law on Solid Waste Pollution Control (Oct.30, 1995); (8) People's Republic of China Law on Cultural Relics Protection (19 Nov., 1982); (9) People's Republic of china Law on Roads (July 3 1997); (10) Environmental Protection and Management Regulation for Construction Projects [The State Council, C.253](Nov. 18., 1998); (11) Environmental Protection and Management Measures for Transportation Construction Projects (The Ministry of Communications, C.(90) 17); (12) Notice on Strengthening Management over Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Project Financed by International Financial Institution [(1993) No.324 document on Environmental Supervision, issued by China National Environmental Protection Agency etc.]; (13) World Bank Operation Handbook OPIBP/GP.4.01 Environment Assessment (March 1999); (14) Environmental Protection Regulations for Construction Projects in Jiangxi Province (April 29, 1995); (15) The Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment.

Major Environmental Impacts (I) Ecological Environment (Including Water Environment and Soil Erosion) The road construction will take up a total land area of 2435.49 mu, of which the land occupancy for the construction of RRIPI will be 765.97mu, that of RRIP2 will be 606.26mu, that of RRIP3 being 601.5mu and that of RR1P4 will be 461.76mu.The acquisitioned land includes paddy land, dry land, pond, woodland, and wasteland. Construction of the four RRIP roads will cause some economic loss for agricultural fields and production, but will not produce significant impact on the pattern of land distribution. Cutting of subgrade and filling of earth/stonework will damage the vegetation to some extent, threatening some small animals who live and habitat in it. But planting measures can restore or compensate for a part of the vegetation and can make the original animals to return. Investigation shows that there is no wild life reservation area along the proposed highway, nor is there any precious and endangered species of animals and plants. The road does not have large or medium-sized bridges, only will build 4 small bridges with a total length of 98m. The works quantity for bridges is small and with short construction period, so it can only exert a very slight impact on the water bodies along the road. Sewage produced from construction camps, if discharged carelessly, will cause adverse impact on the nearby water bodies. The forecast shows that the soil erosion caused by the earth-borrowing and dumping in the construction of the road project will reach 2239.17t/a if there is no protection measures at all; but because the protection works and the main works will be simultaneously designed, constructed, completed and accepted, therefore the actual soil erosion will be far less than the forecasted value. In addition, implementation of road planting works will recover a part of the vegetation and reduce the soil erosion in slopes. (2) Acoustic Environment General construction noise such as that produced by hauling vehicles and construction machineries will have relatively large impact on people nearby the construction site (50m), particularly the construction noise at the night will impact the people's rest and sleep. RR1P 1: According to the forecasting, excess of standard limits will occur at the sensitive spots of Zhutian Hospital, Shanghai Yudian Hope Primary School, Nanjiang Hospital and Zuoan Middle School in the near term of operation. Simple noise isolation barriers( in combination with existing encirclement) and installation of noise isolation 2 windows will be adopted to mitigate the impact. RRIP2:. According to the forecasting, excess of standard limits will occur at the sensitive spots of Hengling Central School, Shangwu Primary School and Xinjiang Middle School in the near term of operation. Simple noise isolation barriers( in combination with existing encirclement) will be adopted to mitigate the impact. RRIP3: According to the forecasting, excess of standard limits will occur at the sensitive spots of Bushang and Wangmudu in the near term of operation. Simple noise isolation barriers( in combination with existing encirclement) and installation of noise isolation windows will be adopted to mitigate the impact. RRIP4: According to the forecasting, excess of standard limits will occur at the sensitive spots of Tangjiangzhen, Laowuchang, Shangping, Tiantou, Laoshuzhui, Huangsha Middle School and Beitian Middle School in the near term of operation. Simple noise isolation barriers( in combination with existing encirclement) and installation of noise isolation windows will be adopted to mitigate the impact. (3) Ambient Air Environment According to forecasting and analysis, under stability D, NOx concentration in all sensitive locations can meet the standard limits. (4) Water Environment The main water pollution source is the sewage from the labor camp. RRIPI-RRIP4: Through analyses, the road runoff will have no significant impact on water bodies. (5) Excavation and Transportation of Construction Materials Excavation and transportation of construction materials will exert negative impacts on the ecology, people's living quality and traffic safety along the road. But such impacts can be effectively controlled by enhancing environmental management during construction. (6) Social Environment Road construction will take up some lands and agricultural fields, its impact on agricultural economy can be reduced through adjusting the land rationalization and transforming the land utilization value. 3. Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures 3.1 Design Stage 3. 1. I Reasonable Alignment In selecting the alignment, the designers, environmental assessment unit and the project owner have consulted and discussed, on the premise of reasonable alignment and low cost, have fully considered various environmental factors such as protection of farmland, school and residence, flood prevention, flood discharging, removal volume, urban development, source of building materials and location of quarry, and also have extensively solicited opinions from related experts, local governments, concerned departments and people from every circle. Based on these, the current alignment is formed. 3.1.2 Ecological recovery Planting works were designed synchronically with the main body works. Plant species were optimized so to restore and compensate for the vegetation during design. 3 3.1.3 Water and Soil Conservation Drainage and protection works were designed for subgrade, including intercepting ditch, side ditch, and slope, which can not only stabilize the subgrade, but also prevent soil erosion. 3.1.4 Water Pollution (1) Drainage works were designed so to make the pavement runoff not enter into water body directly; (2) Design of bridges and culverts and drainage ditches have considered the requirements for flood discharging and prevention, and will not damage local irrigation pattern. (3) Canals and ponds that are occupied or separated by the subgrade have been rebuilt or newly built. 3.1.5 Noise Impact According to the forecasting, mitigation measures such as installation of noise isolation windows and encirclement heightening will be adopted to mitigate the impact of noise on the sensitive spots in construction stage. 3.1.6 Ambient Air Pollution Quarries , earth borrowing/dumping sites and mixing plants will be located 300m beyond residence, and the material hauling route will be reasonably designed so to avoid residences as far as possible and to avoid flying dust's impact on residents. 3.1.7 Cultural relics protection Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Institute are entrusted to make surveillance along the road and submit the report ( see the Investigation Report of Cultural Relics for the RRIP Components). 3.1.8 Resettlement The design for this project has always emphasized to avoid towns, to avoid removal and land occupation. A hierarchy of resettlement offices will be set up to formulate the Resettlement Action Plan( RAP). The Institute of City and Population of Jiangxi Normal University is employed as an independent supervisor. Details refer to the RAP. 3.1.9 Public participation In the alignment of the road, setting of interchanges, environmental protection, resettlement, we have consulted with along-the-road governments, concerned departments, non-governmental organizations, rural committees, collectives and even individuals to solicit their opinions so as to gain support from the public. 3.2 Construction stage 3.2.1 Ecological impact (1) To enhance workers' awareness of environmental protection of natural resources and not to damage wild life and not to cut trees. (2) Contractors should reasonably arrange occupied land, reduce temporary land occupation, shorten the use time, and reclaim the land timely. (3) Earth borrowing and waste disposal shall be conducted in strict accordance with design requirements so to well protect and restore the surrounding environment. The top soil (30cm) of the acquired land shall be kept for reclaiming and compensation. (4) Construction vehicles shall run in access roads, not in agricultural fields and woodlands. 4 3.2.2 Water and soil conservation (1) Earth and stone works will avoid rainy season; reduce the area and number of construction sites as much as possible; construction should be made in designed site and the earth borrowing and waste area should not be made in designed site and the earth borrowing and waste area should not be enlarged casually so to reduce the. exposed area of cutting. (2)The various protection engineering works should be built concurrently with the major works, and cutting should be avoided in rainy season. (3)Water drainage ditch and intercepting ditch should be built for the earth borrowing sites to reduce rainfall eroding force; the surface of the earth borrowing site should be flat as much as possible after the borrowing. In the process of dumping, the dumped earth should be arranged and compressed tightly layer by layer according to the height of the retaining wall to decrease the slope of earth surface (4) Planting should be carried out in accordance with the design requirements. To get the best effect, the side slope plantation should be completed one month in advance to the rainy season. (5)Reclaiming and planting measures should be taken after completion of the borrowing and disposal sites. For the waste bank nearby the farmland, agricultural reclaiming should be considered 3.2.3 Water Pollution (1) Wasted are prohibited to throw into water body so to prevent water pollution, riverbed compression and blocking; (2) Waste oil of hauling vehicles and construction niachines and solid waste with oil dirties should be collectively land-filled. (3) Septic tank and garbage tank should be provided at temporary construction camps, which should be cleared timely. Construction materials shall be stored in places with rainfall prevention measures. (4) Waste dregs arising out of the bridge pier construction should be transported to places designated jointly by the contractor, environmental and water conservancy departments, disposed of under the supervision of designated persons. 3.2.4 Noise pollution (I) When the construction site is close to school, no construction work with heavy noise machines should be arranged at school time; when the construction site is close to densely populated residence, construction work with strong noise machines should not be arranged at nighttime. In case that the above construction work has to be proceeded, consultation must be made with the residents who may be impacted, or proper compensation must be paid. To reduce the noise pollution of construction machineries, mobile noise isolation can be used. (2) To use construction machines with low noise level as much as possible. For construction machines with high noise level, temporary sound barrier should be adopted to mitigate the noise impact. The construction materials storage site and the mixing plant should be set at places over300m away from the acoustic sensitive locations. (3) The construction operator's work time should be arranged in accordance with the labor hygiene standard, and personal protection measures such as wearing ear-plugs and helmets, 5 etc. should be provided to the operators. (4) The access roads for the highway construction should be selected away from such sensitive locations as schools, residences and hospitals. When dense residences exist 50m within access road, night transportation of building materials is forbidden. For lorries transporting construction materials by the existing roads, the contractor should pay attention to the maintenance of the lorries and keep the noise produced at a minimum level. 3.2.5 Ambient Air Pollution (1) The stabilized soil and bitumen mixing plants should be set up at the leeward side and 300m away from the sensitive locations of residences, hospitals and schools. (2) Bulk construction materials transported by truck should be covered to prevent spillage as much as possible. The storage of the bulk construction materials should be covered and kept over 300m away from the school and village sensitive locations. (3) Hauling roads and construction site, particularly the stabilized soil mixing plant, should be sprayed from time to time to prevent secondary dust flying. 3.2.6 Cultural relics protection During construction, if underground cultural relics are found, then construction should stop and the supervisory engineer will protect the site, and concerned department will be notified to handle it. 3.2.7 Public participation Complaint telephone number for environmental complain should be conspicuously marked at the construction camp. For complaint problems, the local environmental department shall be contacted and such problem should be settled within 48 hours. 3.2.8 Worker's health (1) Septic tank and garbage tank shall be set up at construction camp, which are to be cleared by the contractor periodically so to prevent outbreak of disease. Drinking water that complies with hygiene standard shall be provided at the site. (2) Contractors must adhere to labor protection regulations to provide helmets, earplugs and periodic physical examination to workers. (3) Full-time health worker should be arranged by the contractor to provide medical guaranteeing for the construction workers, free condom should be available in each labour camp. the health worker should periodically deliver hygienic knowledge and education to the construction workers. 3.2.9 Traffic and transportation (1) The construction of road sections should be reasonably organized. On duty system should be established to guarantee the smooth operation of traffic and traffic safety. Transportation of construction materials at rush hours should be avoided, the contractor is required to make a reasonable transportation plan. (2) Access road should have proper width and quality, so as to ensure that both pedestrians and vehicles can travel safely even in bad climate conditions. Local public security and transportation management departments shall be well coordinated with to mobilize traffic jam and to handle traffic accident so as to ensure a smooth running. The above measures to be taken during construction stage have been defined in the contracts signed with the contractors. 6 3.3 Operation stage 3.3.1 Ecological impact (1) In order to maintain the dynamic balance of cultivated land, the project proponent should reclaim waste lands coordinating with the local administration departments for national land to compensate the lost cultivated land . (2) To recover the damaged vegetation and ecology in time so to prevent denuded surface. A greening belt of some width should be set up at the two sides of the road. (3) The culverts should be cleared in time to ensure a smooth running of water in the irrigation system. 3.3.2 Soil erosion Further improve the soil & water conservation works, planting works, and land reclaiming works according to design requirements. 3.3.3 Noise pollution It is suggested that no new schools, hospitals be built within 50m from the proposed road, no new residential districts be built within 20m from the road. (1) Strengthen the road traffic management and road maintenance. Motor vehicles with high noise level exceeding standard limit should be banned to drive onf the road. No-Tooting sign should be arranged in concentrated residential districts. (2) Implementation of noise monitoring plan: supplementary noise mitigation measures will be adopted according to the monitored data and listed in the contractor's contract. (3) Sensitive location protection Before the implementation of noise mitigation measures, the acoustic design should be based on the road project design, and proper adjustment should made to the mitigation measures and technical indexes. Besides, the opinion of protection objectives should be solicited before the implementation, and if the mitigation measures are rejected by them, other measures should be considered. The mitigation measures for each noise-sensitive spot along the four roads are listed in Table 3.3-1.

(2) Ambient air monitoring plan should be implemented to decide supplementary environmental protection measures according to the monitored results. 3.3.5 Water pollution The dust and sand on the side slope of subgrade and pavement, when rushed by rain water, will be carried into the drainage system and deposited , leading to blocking up of the drainage system. Therefore, periodical clearing of drainage system and side ditches will be quite necessary to ensure the smooth running . After implementation of the above measures, the adverse impacts on this project can be reduced to an acceptable degree. 4 Environmental Management and Supervision 4.1 Environmental Management and Supervision Organizations The environmental management and supervision organizations during construction and operation stages are diagrammed in Fig. 4.1-1 - Fig.4. 1-5.
