Preface Entrusted by `the Arrangement Office of Phase? of Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field', ECIDIcompleted "Environmental Impact Assessmentof Phase II Project of Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field" (EIA) report on June 2004. This paper based on EIA is just a summary of main project impact, environmental management plan, and environmental monitoring plan for Phase? Project of Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field. 2. Project Descriptions Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field lies in inland of bay at the northeast of Pingtan County, 10km away from the downtown of Pingtan. Fig.1 shows its Ilocation. Phase?Project of Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field completed construction, and went into operation in Oct. 2000. The total capacity is 6000kW with 10 units of wind turbine manufactured at BAZAN Company of Spain, all of which were BAZAN-BONUS 600kW MK-IV fix-distance blades. It's planned that total installed capacity will be 100.5MW with 67 units of 1.5MW wind turbines of Phase? Project of Changjiang'ao. By theoretical calculation, the yearly output of wind power will be 273.286GWh, power utilization of 2719h and power to the net of 259.622GWh, utilization by selling power of 2583h, and capacity coefficient of 0.295. Wind turbine units were arranged perpendicular to northeast, the prevail wind direction, whereas the 67 turbine units arranged as plum-like shape which distances of row/column are 8D(560m)×5D(350m) around the 10 turbines of Phase I Project. The general layout of the project is shown at Fig.2. The substation locates at the northwest of the pre-central control building. The substation connected to the power grid with 2 output loops of 110kV voltage. -1- The land occupation is total 908.4 mu (1 mu=666.7m2), in which 478.61mu of permanently, and 429.43 mu of temporarily. It's planned that the construction area of each wind turbine is 70m×70m (including land occupation of the wind turbine) for pilling up equipment and material and turbine installation. It's preliminary estimated that the construction period of Phase II Project is 24 months after the feasibility research and the loans examined and approved by the World Bank. The total cost of the project is RMB 859,940,000 yuan. 3. Surrounding EnvironmentalConditions Changjianao Wind Power Field lies at the inner land area of the bay, the northwestern part of Pingtan Island. It locates at the barranca, where Hutou, Junshan, yangmei and Yanglei Mountains or hills are in its southeast, and a series hills called Yandui, Longtou, Furongzhai in its northwest. The Project site lies inthe barranca area between twoseries of mountains and hills , and its special geographical location determined its superior wind energy resource. There is no big river at the site area, but a relatively small stream called Shangpanhu with less flow. Cultivated land and forestland are the main land types. The cultivated land vegetation is crops, such as potato, wheat, peanut, etc., and the forest land, wooden ephedra and a small amount of jequirity trees, black pines and wetland pines, which all belong to the shelter forestry. Construction area isn't migratory bird's habitat and migratoryroute, and no rare protected animals were found there. The land occupation of the project mainly belongs to Luyang Village, Pingyuan town, Zhonglou Village and state-owned Changjiang Forest Farm. At present, there is a "Hupuqian Relic Site", where is 400m away from the southwest of 46# wind turbine, which is the Neolithic culture remains about 5000- 6000 years old, un-developed up to now, and expected to be further -2- explored. A mining area of 20,000 m2 lies in the northwest of 59# wind turbine,and the quartz sand is the main products for sale. A Piggery Farm of "Development Co.,Ltd. of Sunshine Ecological Agriculture" is building at the north of 44# wind turbine. It is estimated 10,000 pigs supplied annually. 4. Main Environmental Impacts ( 1) Environmental Impact during construction period Noise is mainly caused of construction machines, such as excavating machines and the transportation trucks, etc. According to predicting, there is only certain acoustic influence to 3 sensitive points which are Shanxianmei, Guanlouxia and Hupuqian, the predict noise values of which are 62dB, 61dB and 64dB during construction period. Since no sensitive spots in 200m range along the entrance road, it's lightly influences acoustic environmental quality of communication noise from transportation vehicles Production waster water and domestic sewage are main water pollution source. Domestic sewage contains CODCr and BOD5. After being treated by septic pit and sewage treatment facilities underground, domestic sewage is shed in the forest land nearby directly, consuming in form of evaporating or leakage. Production wastes water of construction mainly come from concrete mixer and construction machines rinsing. Production wastewater contains oil and SS, which is reused after processing. Because of the dust source is low and the diameter of particle is relatively large, so air impact on surrounding environment is mainly bounded to the range of construction. There are no sensitive spots in 200m ranges along the construction roads, no impact on atmosphere environmental quality of automobile tail gas and dust The area of permanent forestland occupation is 749.71mu,which accounts for 4.6% of the total forestland area in the site area. Besides the permanent -3- land occupation, the temporal land occupation will be recovered after the project construction. So the wind power project will not influence the local ecological environment. It is estimated that the total excavation amount is 42,500m3, the total backfill amount is 49,500 m3.The dreg from accessexcavation can be used for the backfill of wind turbine basis. Through the volume balance of excavate and backfill, there are no abandoned discards in project. The soil erosion during constructing period is about 1350t, so the water and soil conservation plan is needed. And the owner should engagethe unit with qualification to edit water and soil conservation plan and complete this plan before the project starts.After site excavation, concrete poured and site backfilled must be done in time to decrease water and soil conservation. In case of construction ending temporary occupation land must be restored or vegetation of trees and bushes such as wood ephedrine and black pines to prevent erosion. It is not allowed to cut other trees around the site except those had to be cut at the project occupation land. Discards from road excavation must be transported to installing site nearby in time, which are used to backfill the tower base, or piled up at the site and covered with engineering cloth to those may not be used promptly. Protection slopes of the excavation road sections should be built at the end of excavation to avoid soil erosion of slopes. The basis of tower is already designed to avoid residents' houses, there is no house needed to be pulled down. ( 2) Environmental Impact during operation period Pingtan County is an island, where is lack of water resource, except the 6MW wind power generators installed; power supply mainly depends on the provincial grid. In this place, it may meet not only needs of power of Pingtan County, but also enhance the reliability of the power supply,as well as reduce the pressure of the power supply of the provincial grid, thus local regional economy and social continuous development will be stimulated up. -4- The main noise source during operation period came from wind turbines. According to the confirmed standards of the local Environment Protection Bureau (see annex4), standard of Level 2 (60dB) of is in use. Prediction shows that the noise value at every sensitive spot meet the Level 2 standard above at daytime and only 3 spots of Shanxianmei, Guanlouxia ND sw Hupuqian exceed the standard (50dB) slightly at night, the maximun exceeding is only 3.3dB. It may be eliminated theunfavorable noise impact that Turbine 39#, 47#, 63# and 64# etc are move to the direction of sensitive spots far away 50m-100m. The sewage of the staffs can be treated bythe existing sewage treatment facilities, then discharge into natural ditches. The oil water from the substation can be collected into the oil pool, and then transported to the professional unit for treatmentand it will not affect the surrounding environment. Solid wastes are mainly consisting of the domestic rubbish of workers. It's estimated that each person generates 1.0kg wastes every day, the amount of the domestic rubbish is about 5.0kg/d. Because the increase of the domestic rubbish is relatively small, so we can handle withthe rubbish of Phase I Project altogether andthe rubbish will not affect surrounding environment adversely. 5 Environmental Management Plan Environmental Management Plan includes Environmental mitigation action plan, Environmental supervision plan and Environmental monitoring plan. Environmental mitigation action plan define how to take measures, who does, who is responsible authority; Environmental supervision planguarantees the completion of the action plan, and realize the environmental target of the project; Environmental monitoring Plan describes monitoring items, frequency, method, factor, unit, responsible department and monitoring cost. The detailed content may be reviewed at the EIA report. Environmental management and monitoring organizations are the important insurance for plan completion.

The report should be given to the Phase? Project of the Wind Power Field Arrangement Office, and the report is also submitted to the World Bank and Pingtan Environmental Protection Bureau at the same time by Phase ? Project of the Wind Power Field Arrangement Office. 6 Analyses of Alternatives -7- (1)"without project" analysis If there is no thisproject, the yearly increase for power demand of Pingtan County will continue relying on the provincial power grid. Considering power from thermal plant, then the thermal plant will consume more 90,000t coal every year, which increase 13,200t of CO2, 1700t of SO2, 890t of NOx every year, and produce 21,000t of solid discards at the same time. More pollution to local environment will be occurred. (2)"alterative project" analysis Compared with Changjiang'ao and Longwangtou areas, Longwangtou area is not able to install 100,000kw wind power of its natural conditions, and construction will generate more impact on surrounding landscape and protection zone of drinking water. There is abundant wind-force source at Changjiang'ao field and little influence to surrounding environment, so it is recommended as the project location. 7 Public Participation Information Disclosing In order to obtain the opinions from the influenced people and social groups, flowing 4 methods are adopted:(1) Issue survey sheets to the public for specific survey in May, 2004. 15 organizations and 26 personnel's were investigated; (2) A symposium meeting about environment and immigrants was held at the Government of Pingtan on May 26, 2004,to consult the opinion of impacted residents for project construction. More than 20 impacted residents attent the meeting; (3) Let out project information through news media; (4) Publicize the "Environment Impact Assessment Report " for collecting public comments and opinions at the office of the Government of Pingtan. It is clear from the investigation, local people supported the project actively. The publicmainly paid close attention to noise, ecology, resettlement etc. The owner express that they will offer the rational economic compensation for permanent land occupation, this compensation fund will be used afforest -8- vegetation in other place; temporary occupation land will restore vegetation in time after constructing. All compensation of resettlementwill be based onstate standard with the local actual conditions, and ensuring resident's interests. -9- LIST OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1

The whole county is made up of numerous islands; the largest island is Haitan Island, which is the first largest island in Fujian Province. The place nearest to the land is 2~3 nautical miles.. Pingtan Island locates northwest of the strait in PingtanCounty. There are tow mountains, Hutou Mountain ~ Jun Mountain ~ yangmei Mountain ~ Yanglei Mountain in the southeast of field location, Yandui Mountain ~ Longtou Mountain ~ Furong Stockaded Village in the Northwest. The wind power field lies in the barranca area between two mountains, its special geographical position has determined its superior wind energy resource. Pingtan county and neighboring FuqingCity are both the poor area of the waterpower recourses , power come from the province grid mainly. The Changjiang'ao ? wind power field will assigned 67 sets of wind turbines of 1.5MW grade altogether, the total installation capacity of 100.5MW and yearly power yield of 260 million kW.h to electric wire netting. In this place establishing wind-intensity power plant, not only can meet the needs of using power of Pingtan county, and enhance the reliability of the power supply, but also can offer superfluous power sources for Fuqing city to reduce the pressure of the power supply of the provincial grid, thus local regional economy and social continuous development will be stimulated up. 1.2 Basis for Environmental Impact Assessment As required by the World Bank, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report must be prepared for the Pingtan Changjiang'ao ? Wind Power Project. The project has been assigned a Category `B' rating under the World Bank's requirements. - 1- The EIA report analyzes and estimates the impact of project construction on the ecological, Acoustic, social environments. It describes the existing environmental and socio-economic conditions that could be affected adversely or beneficially by the project, identifies potentially significant impacts, and recommends measures for mitigating the serious negative impacts. The report also suggests necessary measures for enhancing beneficial impacts. The following state and provincial policies, regulations and standards have been followed in preparing the EIA report.

Survey staff has monitoring acoustic environmental quality within the project-affected area, conduct survey of terrestrial animals and plants in the project area, and consulted the relevant department of Pingtan county. 1.4.2 Methods of Analysis Qualitative methods were used to analyze the extent of potential impacts during construction and operation period. Quantitative analytical methods were used to analyze the extent of potential impacts of acoustic environment. 1.4.3 Public Participation During preparation of the EIA report, the report stressed on the public participation in project survey according to the current relevant Chinese laws and regulations. The affected people and social groups were interviewed and the environment & resettlement symposium was held. The questionnaire were printed and distributed for obtaining opinion. At the same time, the information about project construction and environmental protection was often publicized on local news medium to make masses have deep knowing about the project. EIA report of the project will be made available for public review in the office of Pingtan County. - 4- 1.5 Project Impacts 1.5.1 Benefits of project Wind energy is the regenerated energy, Chinese Government encourages to develop wind-force resources. The project is to offer power of 260 million kw.h to Fujian Province grid every year. Wind power project can be complementary with hydraulic power generation project in Fujian Province and can offer superfluous power sources for the provincial grid. Construction of this project will guarantee Pingtan county and Fuqing City's developing demand for electric load, reduce the corresponding line power loss, realize energy diversification of electricity, improve the quality and dependability of electric wire netting, bring about an advance in regional economy. 1.5.2 Negative impact Construction of Changjiang'ao project is predicted to have following main negative impacts: (1) Construction Period Construction of this project will cause impacts such as water pollution, atmospheric pollution, noise, soil erosion, vegetation destroyed etc. If untreated production wastewater and domestic sewage of workers discharged directly into the river in the project area, the quality of river will deteriorate. The noise of constructing has influence on constructors and nearby village, the waste gas has influenceon the constructors mainly. Construction will take up some cultivated land and forestland. It cause a certain influence to the local ecological environment. Excavating and backfill will causewater and soil loss. There is a "Hupuqian Relic site" 400m southwest off 46# wind turbine, which is the Neolithic culture remains about 5000- 6000 years old, with an area - 5- of 2500m2.In construction period, construction is forbid in this area. (2) Operation Period It will produce the noise that the air blower is operated, and bring certain adverse effect on acoustic environment of nearby village. Land occupation forever will cause a certain influence to local ecological environment, water and soil conservation, etc. 1.6 Recommended Mitigation Measures The environmental mitigation measures in construction period of the project includes water environmental protection, atmosphere environmental protection, protection of acoustic environment, ecological environmental protection, water and soil conservation, protection of historic relic site, etc. We have already made the detailed environmental management plan, which contains environmental mitigation action plan, environmental supervision plan and environmental monitoring plan. - 6- Chapter 2 Survey of the Project 2.1 Geographical Location Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field locates at the inner bay area, where is about 10 kilometers away from the downtown of Pingtan.

Fig. 3-3 Building Piggery Farm 3.4 Present Environmental Quality The site of Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field belongs to the village inhabitant area, and the present acoustic environment follows the Standard 1 of (GB 3096-93), that is 55dB at daytime and 45dB at night. While the project is under building or completed, it's a mixed area with inhabitants, commercial and industry, the sensitive spots around the Wind Power Field follow the Standard 2 during its operation that is 60dB at daytime and 50 dB at night. The environmental atmosphere must meet the demand of Standard 1 of (GB 3095-1996). Above standards have been confirmed by the environmental Bureau in Pingtan(see annex4). There are large amount of ecologic public welfare forest in the project site at present, which are good at shelter for wind and sand, and less inhabitants live at the site, no obvious air pollution source there, the quality of air is good. To understand the present acoustic quality of the planned project area, our Institute on May24 2004 did monitoring for the present acoustic environment, and the Noise Statistic Analyzer of AWA6218B was used. The measurement spots are mainly considered to the location of the present noise source and sensitive spots, which location is shown at Fig.2 and the result see Table 3-4. From the result of monitoring, it's obviously that the monitored spots that are near the - 23- communication source, such as spot2#, 3#and 4#, their noise are all exceed the Standard 1 of (GB 3096-93), whereas all others meet the Standard 1 when they were not interference of communication.

Machines such as concrete mixers, pneumatic drills, excavators, heavy trucks etc as well as transportation trucks generate noise when they run. The average acoustic level of primary construction machines is listed at Table 4-1. Generally, Noise impact is only considered at daytime, as it didn't work at night during construction period. According to the schedule for construction, the concrete was centralized mixed of movable mixers, the main construction machines at each wind turbine are pneumatic drills and excavators. The construction noise at daytimeis primarily considered, which source intensity is counted as 84dB. Table 4-1 Average noise level of main construction machines Machine name Noise level(dB) Noise limitation (daytime,dB) Concrete mixer 64 75 Pneumatic drill 84 85 Excavator 80 75 Carry truck 80 Note: (1) Listeddata is measured at 15m to the noise source. (2) Noise limitation is the related standard value on (GB 12523-90). Investigation at the site shows that the construction site is smooth terrain, no objects sheltered around. It's mainly considered the geometric divergence decline and ground - 25- additional divergence decline of the point acoustic source to forecast the noise impact of construction machines. According to , the basic formula for geometric divergence decline for non-direction acoustic source is selected: LA(r) = LA(r0)-20lg(r/r0)-AEXC In which: LA(r): noise Apressure of the forecast point(dB) LA(r0) : noise A pressure of the reference point(dB) r: distance between the forecast point and noise source(m) r0: distance between the reference point and noise source (m), 15m selected AEXC: additional divergence decline of ground effect, AEXC=5 lg(r/r0), the maximum value of forecast result is 10dB.s Construction noise is merged from several machines run simultaneously. According to the feature of constructionfor the wind power field, each unit is a construction spot, and several spots run in turn, and the quantity of machines is comparatively small at the same time and same spot, therefore the noise level of several machines is counted as 87dB (15m). Table 4-2 Calculation result of divergence decline of construction at daytime Unit:dB r(m) 50 100 135 180 Standard L(r) single 77 71 63 60 57 60 multiple 80 74 66 63 60 Table 4-2 shows that construction noise affects surrounding acoustic environment greatly at daytime, in case of a single machine at 135m, noise decreasing may be meet level 2 of (GB 3096-93), whereas several machines need the distance 490m to meet the standard level 2. Compare to Table 1-2, it's clear that only 3 sensitive spots of - 26- Shanxianmei,Guanlouxia and Hupuqianwill be affected from the construction noise in varying degrees.In order to mitigate the influence of construction noise tosurrounding sensitive spots, Low noise machines should be selected, and the maximum noise value of each machine should be less than 100dB(at 1m). 4.1.1.2 Communication noise at the site 31.50km of roads will be newly built at the site, which is made of clay-crushed stones, and the width of the base 4.5m. Communication noise will be generated when transportation trucks run during construction. The main building materials for the project including steel-bars, cement, sand and stones, timber as well as carbines of the generator (51.40t), and blades which length is 34.0m need to be transported. Total amount of transportation is comparatively small, which includes 374m3 of timber, 19,000t of cement, 2,389t of steel and reinforced bar, 121,000t of sand and stone, 67 groups of carbines and blades. The communication noise is less because of less increase of traffic flow. It's clear that there is basically no distribution of sensitive spots (village and school etc) along both sides of roads to the project site, and communication noises of trucks impact the acoustic environment very small. 4.1.2 Operation stage The primary noise source during operation period of the wind power field is the noise of the wind turbine unit. 67 of 1500kW wind power units which noise level is 105dB, and the wheel height is 65m, its diameter of blades is 70.5m. Considering that the height of the turbine to the ground is comparatively high,(100 m) to the turbine is small and it's neglected at forecasting, the only factor of geometric divergence decline is selected during noise impact forecasting. According to the , Following formula is in use: LA(r) =LwA-20lgr-11 In which: LA(r) is the noise value of the forecast spot (distance=r), dB, - 27- LwA is the value of the noise source, dB, r is the distance to the forecast spot, m. LA =10lg[ S] n L = 10 lg[ 10 0 . 1 LAi] A i =1 Influence of merging the noise of various wind power turbine should be in consideration of the noise intensity of the forecast spot. In which: LA: level A acoustic intensity of various noise sources merged. LAW: A acoustic intensity of a single noise source. In forecasting, it mainly analyzes the impact extents of the turbine noise to 13 of sensitive spots nearby, including Shangpan, Shanxianmei, Fengmei, Wufeng, Yuyao, Guanlouxia, Lulou, Xibianlou, Yangjia, Kunhulou, Luyang Middle School, and planned Piggery Farm. The distances of each sensitive spot to the wind turbine is shown at Table 4-4. In order to forecast the influence of noise to the sensitive villages of the Wind Power Field, and acoustic impact forecast was done at the selected forecast spots where the nearest spot to the wind turbine at each village. Fig.2 shows the location of the forecast spot. The height of the wheel hub is 65m, and the lowest point to the ground is 30m high because of the high turbine wheel. Because of the smooth terrain and considerably low of buildings of sensitive spots and vegetations to the wind turbines, there is no shelter to the noise of turbine, and it's not under consideration. The forecasting value of noise where is the nearest spot to the turbine of every sensitive spot is shown at 4-3. - 28- Table 4-3 Noise impact forecasting during operation period No. Village Nearest Nearest Noise value at forecast spot(dB) turbine distance To the Turbine Affect Backgro Merged Increase (m) value und value d At value daytime 1 Shangpan 6# 500 47.5 52.6 53.8 1.2 5# 710 (no (no (no 4# 995 vehicle) vehicle) vehicle) 12# 370 73.8 73.8 0 11# 705 (vehicle (vehicle (vehicle 22# 660 passed passed passed 21# 665 by) by) by) 20# 840 2 Shanxianmei 29# 505 51.7 54.2(no 56.1(no 1.9(no 28# 755 vehicle) vehicle) vehicle) 39# 145 67.6 67.7 0 38# 480 (vehicle (vehicle (vehicle 37# 820 passed passed passed by) by) by) 3 Fengmei 39# 450 46.1 48.2 50.3 2.1 38# 770 48# 400 47# 665 46# 945 4 Wufeng 48# 275 48.7 48.2 51.5 3.3 47# 500 46# 775 56# 375 55# 655 54# 915 5 Yuyao 56# 200 49.8 48.2 52.1 3.9 55# 460 54# 730 65# 460 64# 710 6 Guanglouxia 64# 200 52.6 48.2 53.9 5.7 63# 160 62# 500 61# 525 - 29- 7 Lulou 64# 535 43.5 48.2 49.5 1.3 63# 535 62# 725 8 Xibianlou 64# 715 48.4 48.2 51.3 3.1 63# 420 62# 275 61# 450 60# 775 9 Yangjia 60# 325 46.7 48.2 50.5 2.3 67# 435 61# 605 62# 920 10 Kunhulou 59# 290 46.7 48.2 51.4 3.2 58# 325 57# 610 56# 490 11 Luyang 67# 635 43.1 54.2 54.5 0.3 Middle 59# 660 School 58# 840 66# 725 12 Planned 37# 650 49.2 44.6 50.5 5.9 Piggery 36# 360 Farm 35# 525 45# 300 44# 395 43# 675 13 NE 39# 330 48.8 48.2 51.5 3.3 Hupuqian 38# 290 37# 530 46# 415 14 SW 46# 345 53.3 48.2 54.5 6.3 Hupuqian 47# 120 48# 350 Table 4-3 shows that the noise value of all sensitive spots except Shangpan and Shanxianmei meet level 2 standard (60dB) of at daytime, and only 3 spots of Shanxianmei, Guanlouxia and SW Hupuqian exceed the level 2 standard a little bit at night. The sound of wind is the primary background noise, and itis related to its speed, the higher - 30- the speed, the greater the sound of wind. The noise(Leq) may be over 70dB, when the speed of wind (U10) reaches 10m/s above. The annual average wind speed at the project site is 8.21m/s at the spot above 70m on the ground, that is, U10 is about 6.3m/s, while the rated wind speed is 12m/s at the planned wind power field. Since the local wind speed is high, the background noise is also great; therefore the noise impact of turbines to local villages is relatively small. Proper adjustment of the turbine location may be considered to decrease the noise impact of turbines to Shanxianmei, Guanlouxia and Hupuqian at largest extent. Table 4-4 shows the noise value of above sensitive spots after the location of wind turbines adjusted. It also shows that the value of noise generated by the wind turbine at the sensitive spot may be less than 50dB, only if the location of the turbine 39#, 64#, 63# and 47# adjusted properly, and increased the distance 50-100m between turbine and sensitive spot. Therefore, incase of not or less increasing interfere of tail flow among turbines, proper adjustment locations of turbine 39#, 64#, 63# and 47# may decrease the impact of turbines to the sensitive spots to the lowest extent, and the power output didn't be or less influenced. - 31- Table 4-4 Noise impact forecasting around turbine location Adjusted Village Nearest Un-adjusted Adjusted location Distance turbine location Increasing Nearest Noise at Nearest Noise at (m) distance Forecast distance Forecast to turbine Spot to turbine Spot (dB) m) (dB) Shanxianmei 29# 505 51.7 505 49.8 - 28# 755 755 - 39# 145 195 50 38# 480 480 - 37# 820 820 - Guanlouxia 64# 200 52.6 250 49.8 50 63# 160 260 100 62# 500 500 - 65# 525 525 - SW 46# 345 53.3 345 49.7 - Hupuqian 47# 120 220 100 48# 350 350 - 4.2 Ecologic Environment Impact 4.2.1 Impact on vegetation It's necessary that definite land occupation is needed for the base of wind turbines, 110kV substation, roads at the site, cable in the earth and construction site. Land occupation of the project is shown at Table 4-6. Table4-5 Land Occupation Requisition Table Unit: mu Temporary land Permanent land occupation occupation Forestry Cultivated Forestry Cultivated Total land land land land The Bases of wind turbine - - 43.10 19.68 62.78 The area for installing and 294.83 134.60 - - construction 429.43 110kV step-up substation - - 6.98 - 6.98 Access and cable buried - - 404.8 0.25 404.8 Subtotal - - 3.80 19.93 - 32- Total 294.83 478.61 908.04 Table 4-6 shows areas of various forest types of land occupation of the project. Total area of permanent occupation of forest is 458.68mu; in which wood ephedrine is the main vegetation that is windbreak forest to play an important role of wind-proof and sand-fixation, and 1.88mu of oranges, 3.75mu of jequirity trees, 0.93mu of pine trees, and a small amount of land for forest-planting. It shows that the quantity of oranges,jequirity trees and pines is less at the permanent land occupation of the site, and its impact is not evidence. The land occupation of the Project is only 4.6% of the total forest area at the district involved, there's less impact to the local region. In the scope of permanent land occupation of the Project, 19.93 mu of farmland was included, which crops are sweet potato, wheat and peanut etc. Because of less amount of farmland, that it's only 0.1% of total local farmland(16418.6mu), less impact to the local farmland vegetation is occurred. Besides permanent land occupation, temporary occupation of part forest and dry farmland is needed for installation wind turbines, which types are the same as permanent occupation. The ecologic impact of construction occupation is temporary, it will be disappear when the wind power field runs after construction completed, and wood ephedrine and other local trees are planted. - 33- Table 4-6The Statistical Table of Vegetation Requisition for Phase?

No protected animal was found at the project area, and there is no habitat or migration route of migratory birds, that is shown at Annex 2. No impact wasinvolved to wild animals of the Project. 4.3 Soil erosion Impact 4.3.1 Forecast stage of soil erosion Forecast soil erosion is divided to two stages, construction period and operation period. During construction, construction activities as smoothing the sites, base excavation, waste soil piled or filled and part of trees cut will - 34- destroy facilities of water and soil conservation. During operation, water and soil conservation may be under control efficiently in case of proper prevention measures, but soil erosion may be occurred to some extent because the primary terrain was interfered, and it needs time for vegetations to be returned to normal. Soil erosion during operation stage is much smaller than that in construction. Construction is the important stage for soil erosion forecast and prevention. 4.3.2 Discard volume The filling volume of soil and stone is shown at Table 4-7. Table 4-7 Excavation/fill back Balance Table Unit: m3 The excavating The fillback The Dregs volumn volume volumn Wind turbine and 30,000 42,000 -12,000 step-up substation Access 12,500 7,500 5,000 Total 42,500 49,500 -7,000 It's clear from Table 4-7,that total excavation is 42,500m3, and fill 49,500m3 in construction, while small amount of discard soil may be used as filling the base of the wind turbines. From volumebalancing of soil and stone, there is no discard of the project. 4.3.3 Destroyed facilities of soil conservation The main facilities of water and soil conservation at the scope of the project site are forestlands, and total interfered previous terrain area 908.04mu(605, 360m2), in which the area of water and soil conservation is 753.51mu(502, 340m2), including that of permanent 458.68mu(305,786m2), and temporary 294.83mu(196,560m2). - 35- 4.3.4 Amount of soil erosion Because of the different components of lost materials, experience formula is selected to forecast the interfered land that is bared surface. Following is the calculation formula: Q = m × A× a In which: Q is increment of water and soil erosion (t); M is average soil erosion intensity increment around the construction of the project (t/km 2.a), 1500t/km2.a of forestland, 0t/km2.a of farmland; A is the surface area interfered (km2); a is erosion time(year), I year for permanent occupation and 3 years for temporallyoccupation. From calculation, total erosion increment amount of construction of the Project is about 1350t. 4.3.5 Harmfulness of soil erosion Wind erosion is the primary soil erosion type at the site area, and the forestlands at involved Town of Pingyuan, Luyang and Zhonglou Village, and state-run forest farm are all protection forest mainly composed of wood ephedrine trees, that play an important role to wind-proof and sand-fixation. During construction of the project, 749.71mu forestland in total is occupied temporarily or permanently, which is 4.6% total amount of the regional forest area involved. Occupation of forestland will decrease the function of windproof and sand-fixation, but it will still play the role of wind-proof and sand-fixation by the surrounding protection forest, and the soil erosion caused from wind will be limited around the areas of turbines. Harm of soil erosion of the project is considerably small. - 36- 4.3.6 Prevent measures for soil conservation (1) Installation site It's planned that there is a certain area installation site for each wind turbine, and a temporally construction base will be established in the site. 429.43mu land is needed as temporary occupation for construction. It should be strictly followed the design requirement to decrease the construction occupation. After excavation, it's necessary to pour concrete and fill at the site in time, to decrease erosion. After construction completion, temporary occupation should be return to normal in time or vegetation measure to prevent erosion, such as planting suitable trees or bushes aswood ephedrine and black pine etc to decrease the impact extent to ecologic environment. (2)Roads at the site. There will be 31.50 km newly built roads at the project site. The amount both excavation and fill is less because pass through plain or low hills. Table 4-7 shows that 5000m3 of discards will be generated of road building at the site, which may be filled to the base of turbine. The excavation of part of roads is considerably huge, which mainly are roads through 46#, 54#, and 55# wind turbine that pass through low hills. In this case, protection slope should be done, and engineering measure, such as straw-bag filled with soil, may be used to cover and protect the temporary soil stack. Construction units should pay much attention to Environment protection to reduce cutting and destroying trees such as wood ephedrine. It's not allowed to cut the trees around the construction sites except those must be cut at the project occupation. In order to protect soil erosion, discards of road excavation will be transported to the near installing sites to be used as fill materialsof the bases of towers, and it must be pilled at the installing site and coverd with engineering cloths to those may not be used at the time. To the excavation road sections, protection slopes must be built as the ending of excavation to avoid the soil erosion. - 37- After construction completion, temporary occupation should be leveled and afforest, and measures should be done to plant trees and grass at the spare land along both sides of the roads and excavation slope, that is, to reduce ecologic impact along the roads to the greatest extent. 4.4 Social Environment Impact 4.4.1 Impact to power supply With high speed development of national economy of Pingtan, power supply increased rapidly, the amount of power amount of whole society and maximum power supply load reached to 77 million kWh and 22.8MW separately in 2002, which increased 13.2% and 9.1% compared to last year. According to the planning of regional power grid, it's estimated that the maximum load of Pingtan power grid 29.5MW, and power amount 100 million kWh in 2005; and the maximum power load 43.2MW, power amount 147 million kWh; which the yearly increase of power amount and maximum power load are separately 9.0% in the last 3 years of`10th 5' and 8.0% during `11th 5'. Pingtan is lack of waterpower resource, and power supply mainly depends on the provincial power supply system except 6MW wind power installed. It will play an important role to make use of the abundant wind power resource, build wind power field as the supplement power source of the system, and supply power to local load, to reduce the tide-flow and wire-loss, to ensure the regional load development and realize multiple primary power source, and accelerate regional economy and continuity development. 4.4.2 Occupation impact The planned wind power field locates at the inner land of the beach at the north east of Pingtan Island, where is a barranca area, the occupation of which are mainly farmland and forestland. Table 4-8 shows the areas of Towns and Villages occupied by the Project. - 38- Table 4-8 Statistical Table of Cultivated Land Requisition for Phase?

Total area of farmland of villages involved is 16418.6 mu, which is only 0.94% of total area at the region, therefore, it's less impact to local agricultural production from project occupation of farmland. Since most occupation of farmland belongs to basic farmland protection zone, construction units should strictly follow the rules related to (State Council Decree 257, Dec.27, 1998), and report and go through formalities of the state land resource Department, as well as pay compensations. Because all occupation of forestlands are state or provincial ecologic public welfare forest, timber felling or land requisition should be examined and approved by related forest management department and go through - 39- formalities related. 4.4.3 Communication impact Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field connects down town of Pingtan via highway Pingtan to Suao, then to Port Lianggong through thecounty entrance highway. The highway Pingtan to Suao is a county-village highway which width is 7m, and its surface is asphalt poured structure, while the entrance highway is the main road of Pingtan, which width is 7m, and its surface is concrete structure. The present communication condition is in convenience. Because of the amount of materials and equipment for the project construction is considerably less, and increase of truck flow amount is not large, therefore, it's less impact to original communication on the island. To meet demands of installation of generators, there will be a newly built road which length is about 31.50km to every unit installation site, which its width of base is 4.5m, soil and crushed stone surface. The newly built road at the site is beneficial to strengthen communication among Pingyuan, Luyang and Zhonglou villages and towns, especially communication among villages near the project site, and it's helpful to improve the communication condition at Pingtan Island. 4.4.4 Scenic spots and tourist impact There is abundant coastal scenic and tourist resource at Pingtan, and Haitan Scenic spot is confirmed as one of the National key scenic spots in Jan 1994, which area is 35.5km , and composed of 6 scenic spots, among which 2 the nearest to the planned wind power field is Junshan Scenic spot that locates at the southeast if the site, and its straight distance is about 3km, which is far from the site, and the planned wind power field is not at the sight range of the scenic spot because Junshan is between the spot and the wind power field, therefore, there's no impact to local scenic spots and tourism of the project. After construction completed of the project, there will be a vast group of wind turbines at the inner land of northeast bay of Pingtan. It forms a scenic - 40- painting that mass white wind turbines arranged in order run in the blue sky, white cloud and the sea. Construction of Changjiang'ao Wind Power Field is not conflict to original scenic spots, but it's a unique artificial new tourist spot, and it's helpful to development of tourism of Pingtan. 4.4.5 Relic impact The County relic protection spot Hupuqian Relic, that is 400m away from the southwest of the 46# wind turbine, and its area is 2500m2 which is a cultural relic of the Neolithic Agehuman. The wind turbine installation site and road layout should keep distance away from the spot as far as possible. During construction, units should interrupt works and protect the scene once the underground relic is found, and report to the local relic administration department in time, and take care of it to strengthen protection of relic. 4.5 Water Environment Impact 4.5.1 Construction stage Domestic sewage of construction staffs and rinse water of construction machines are main pollute waste water of the project during construction stage. Pollutes of sewage are CODcrand BOD5, and that of construction wastewater are CODcr,oil and SS etc. (1) Domesticsewage The staff number is related to real construction schedule, and generally the top staff number is about 100. The water volume for use of staffs is counted as 120L/p*d, and the sewage is counted as 80% of the amount, and then the domestic sewage is 10m3/d at the top period of construction. A temporary construction base is established of the project, and all staffs live there. Septic tank and underground sewage processing unit will built at the base, that the manure and pollute water processed at the manure pits, with other sewage such as washing water drain off the underground sewage processing unit and processed. Sewage processed may be used to the near forest, and processing - 41- sewage with earth will not impact surrounding environment. (2) Production waste water Production wastes water of construction mainly come from concrete mixer and construction machines rinsing, which contain dense oil and suspended materials. According to construction planning, concrete was mixed at the removable mixer, then to the working spot with handcarts manually and poured to the template, and then maintained with water. The rinse wastewater of concrete mixers was at the mixer working spot, and it drained of concentrate. Precipitating or sand-deposit pool with certain volume may be established according to the amount of rinse wastewater. Rise wastewater of concrete mixers may be reuse after processing at the pool and it will not impact environment negatively. Since there's abundant of groundwater in the sand layer of the site area, which is not deep at sub terrain, the precipitation or sand-deposit pool should be under-laid to avoid construction wastewater impact to groundwater. Rinse of construction machines and equipment may be concentrated at the planned construction base, so as processing wastewater. Oil insulation pool with a volume will be built at the site.Rinse water of machines processed through oil insulation, drain-off to under-laid precipitation pool, and re-used. Waste oil collected will be burned to processing. 4.5.2 Operation stage In operation stage after the project construction completed, wastewater of the field is mainly staffs' domestic sewage and small amount of production wastewater. Because of highly automation of the wind power field, there is less staff, and only 15 staffs are specified in 3 shifts, which is 5 staffs each shift. Living water is outsourcing pure water. 110kV transformer substation of the project locates at the northeast of the - 42- site, which is the enlarged central control building of Phase I Project, and there's no sensitive water body. Living water is counted as 200L/p*d, and sewage is counted as 80% of the amount, then the daily sewage is 0.8m3, which is mainly domestic and washing water. Because of less operation staff increased of the phase, domestic sewage may be drained off to the outside ditch after processing through present unit, and it would not impact the environment around. No production wastewater drained off at the substation during operation, only small quantity of pollutes water with oil when turbine unit is under checking and repairing, or accidenceoccurred. Accidence oil pool is under the main transformer at engineering design, accidence oil and water is collected at the pool and transported to the professional unit to be treated together, and no impact to environment around. It's important to strengthen the administration, reduce leakage of oil when checking and repairing, and put wipe cloth on the ground when checking and repairing scrub leakage oil timely, and cloth with oil stains and other solid wastes will be checked up regularly, send out to be burned processing. 4.6 Environment Air Impact to air environment mainly concentrated at construction stage, including both construction site and entrance road. The main pollution sources of environment air are dusts of excavation and small amount of waste gas drained of construction machines. Because the heightof the source of dusts of excavation or other civil engineering is low, and particles are big, the impact to environment air bounded at the scope of operation area. 31.50km roads will be newly built of the project, and Truck driving will generate waste gas and dusts, and impact environment air along the roads. From Fig.2, it's obvious that there is no sensitive spot (village and school etc) at the scope of 200m along the roads, the waste gas and dusts will not impact - 43- environment of local villages. Sprinkling should be done to those construction sites near villages to avoid influence people's life. 4.7 Solid Wastes After the project construction completed, solid wastes in operation stage mainly are staff's living wastes. Living wastes are counted as every staff 1.0kg per day, and then the amount of living wastes is about 5.0kg/d. Because the increasing amount of living wastes is less, it may be treated with Phase I project together, and it may not negatively impact the surrounding environment. - 44- Chapter5 Alternatives Comparison 5.1 Instruction This chapter analyzes "without project" and "alternative project" from project engineering feasibility and environmental feasibility, then recommend the bestproject. 5.2" Without Project" analysis Pingtan County is the poor area of the waterpower resource, it is impossible to supply power with water conservancy. If no this project, the power demand that Pingtan County increases year by year will continue relying on the provincial grid. The electric imbalance between supply and demand of Fujian Province is more and more outstanding in recent years. That transmitting power for Pingtan through the province grid strengthens the power supply pressure of Fujian Province. The corresponding line loss is relatively big because the circuit is long, so electric energy is wasted, electric energy quality is poor, the supply-guaranteeing rate is low. If newly-built thermal plant comes in consideration, more 90,000t of standard coal will be consumed accounting to the index of normal coast thermal plant which install capacity is 100.5MW and annual output is about 270 million kWh. It will increase air pollutes 13,200t ofCO2, 1700t of SO2, 890t of NOx every year, and produce 21,000t of ash discards at the same time. More pollution to local environment will be occurred. 5.3 "Alternative project" analysis Wind-force resources of Pingtan County are abundant, there is a lot of locations suitable for wind power field. At present, Changjiang'ao field and - 45- longwangtou field are the two wind-force resource with the largest scale in Pingtan Country. We carry on comparative analysis of the two field sites in terms of project feasibility and environmental protection. ( 1) Geographical Position Changjianao field: It lies in bay inland of the northwestern part of Pingtan county, 10km away from Chengguan Town. Longwangtou field: It lies in Longeangtou coast, 2km away from the east of Pingtan, Close to Chengguan Town. Two location positions can be seen in Attached fig. 1. ( 2) Analysis of Field Situation Changjiang'ao field is diamond in shape, about 3km long from the north to the south, about 5km wide from the east to the west, the permitted installed capacity is 150,000kw. Longwangtou field is ladder in shape, about 3km long from the north to the south, about 2km wide from the east to the west, the permitted installed capacity is 40,000kw. According to the Regional Electric Wire Netting Plan, the max power load for Pingtan County grid in 2005 will be 29.5MW, with a power consumption of 100 million kWh; and in 2010 will be 43.2 MW, with a power consumption of 147 million kW. The installed capacity of 40,000kw can't meet the power consuming demand that Pingtan county increase year by year, so Changjiang'ao field can better use wind sources, and also better meet the power consuming demand of Pingtan. ( 3) Geology The Geology of Changjiang'ao field is similar with Longwangtou filed, where the majority is the aeolian accumulation sand, little partial is the silty clay, subsoil water level is shallow. the sand layer of Longwangtou field is relatively thick, so the geological - 46- condition is slightly better thanChangjiang'ao field. ( 4) Impact on Landscape. Changjiainao field lies in the bay inland of the northwestern part of Pingtan county, not in the existing and planning scenic area. It is approximately 4km away from recent Junshan scenic spot, and Jushan moutain is located between the field and Junshan scenic spot. Therefore there is no visual impact on the landscape. Longwangtou field lies in Longwangtou coast, Longwangtou Holiday Village,Longwangtou Bathing beach and Forest park lie in the adjacent place.So the form, size, color, etc. of wind turbine, tower, central control building will influence the landscape nearby Longwangtou field. The noise in construction and operation period willexert a great influence on environmental quality of the tourist zone. ( 5) Impact on Water Environment There is a drinking water zone nearby Longwangtou field, and relatively high expectations for water quality is required. According to "regulation of prevention pollution of drinking water protection zone "(10.7.1989 Ministry of Public Health Bureau, Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Geology and Mineral Resources ), forbidding newly building, extending any project in the ?grade protection zone, which have no relation with drinking water zone; And also forbidding newly building, extending any project in the ? grade drinking water zone, which will discharge pollutant to dinking water zone. Considering the production wastewater and sewage will pollute drinking water source, we don't recommend Longwangtou field as the project site. ( 6) Impact on Ecology The vegetation of two fields is the same basically. It is mainly the forestland, the ephedra trees and a small amount of economic forestland. - 47- There are no rare protected animals and migratory bird's habitat in two fields. Land occupation in any field will change the original land use, cause certain adverse effect. But Longwangtou field is closer to Chengguan town,and the shelter forestin Longwangtou field is responsible for protecting Chengguan town from sand directly. Considering carrying on wind-powered development in Longwangtou field , it will cause more destruction to national economy and social development of Chengguan town of Pingtan county than Changjiang'ao field. 5.4 Conclusion Knowing from "without project" analysis, carrying on wind power project has better environmental benefit and more energy-conservation than relying on and thermal power. Through analyzing about Changjiang'ao field and Longwangtou field, Longwangtou filed don't process natural conditions of installing 100,000kw wind electric field, and construction will make more great impact on surrounding landscape and the protection zone of drinking water. Changjiang'ao field hasabundant wind-force source and have a little effect on environment, so it is recommend as the project site. - 48- Chapter6 Public Participation 6.1 BriefIntroduction This chapter introduces the general condition and result of public participation for the phase ?

The table above indicates that the units supporting the project accounts to 93%, the individuals supporting the project accounts to 97%, and no people hold objection. l Thenoisequestion during construction period The noise of the wind electric field has been that the problem the public paid close attention to. The project owner says, they will do a good job of the precautionary measures of the noise during construction period, select the low-noise construction machinery for use, prohibit loudspeaker while the vehicle passing the adjacent place in the village, try their best to consider the wind turbines keeping away from the human settlements a bit more intensive. l Socialenvironment From the statistic results of the survey, land occupation for forestland and cultivated land was concerned by 14% of people, and the owner must pay compensation for occupied forest and cultivated lands according to laws and regulations such as , >. The ownerownerwill offer the rational economic compensation to the state-owned forest farm and relevant villages for the permanent land occupation. Compensation fund will be used for restored forest in other place. - 54- For temporary land occupation, theownerownerwill restore the land vegetation in time after constructing, keeping the existing ecological state. So project construction has a little effect on this regional ecosystem. Publics' fear of the problems above is disappeared after EIA unit and owner explained at the meeting. l Resettlement The public worries to the resettlement compensation, hope resettlement allocation is fair and rational. The owner says, all compensation of resentments will be based on national standard and combine the local actual conditions at the same time, ensuring resident's interests. 6.4 Information Disclosing Before working out this report, The information about Changjiang'ao ? have be publicized in the medias, such as Fuzhou daily, Fuzhou evening paper , Fujian Daily and TV station in Pingtan county ,etc., as shown in table 6-5.
