Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Construction of Stormwater and Wastewater Collection Systems:(Cost $139.80 M) Comprehensive Stormwater Management and River-Bank Environmental Restoration:(Cost $35.90 M) Integrated Gully and Canal Improvement:(Cost $28.70 M) Wastewater Reuse:(Cost $1.80 M) Project Management and Capacity Building:(Cost $31.30 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Investment progress: As of November 30, 2019, the total completed investment for the project amounted to RMB 950 million, which is 67% of the revised total project cost of RMB 1,414.2 million. For the World Bank loan, the total amount disbursed was US$ 102.14 million, which is about 68% of the US$ 150 million total loan amount. Progress on achieving PDO: The progress on achieving the five PDO indicators is as follows: (i) direct project beneficiaries in number reaches 358,000, which is 112% of the end target value of 319,000 ; (ii) the volume of BOD pollution load removed by treatment reaches 944 tons/year, which is 130% of the end target value of 727 tons/year; (iii) the volume of COD pollution load removed by treatment reaches 2,013 tons/year, which is 114% of the end target of 1,767 tons/year; (iv) the reduction of TSS flowing into the river reaches 930 tons/year, which is 94% of the end target of 12/20/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report China-Qinghai Xining Water Environment Management Project (P133116) 985 tons/year; and (v) the volume of treated wastewater reused is 85,000 tons/year, which is only 10% of the end target 868,000 tons/year (see component D below). Further, the implementation completion status for the key indicators of the five project components is as follows: Component A: Construction of Storm-water and Wastewater Collection Systems – the volume of rainwater and wastewater collected by the collected treatment system is 28.92 m3/day, which is 97% of the end target value of 29.73 m3/day. However, under this component, the construction of the six bridges as planned was delayed due to the upgrading of the bridge standards in line with the government’s updated five-year plan (2016-2020). Component B: Comprehensive Storm-water Management and River-Bank Environment Restoration – the decrease in the volume of storm runoff is 390,000 m3/year, which is 100% of the end target value of 390,000 m3/year; Component C: Integrated Gully and Canal Improvement – the percentage completion of both the gully and canal improvement works, and the environmental and sanitation facilities installed along gullies and canals is 100% of the end target; Component D: Wastewater Reuse – this component has not been made substantial progress for the related indicator. As the above mentioned, the volume of treated wastewater reused is 85,000 tons/year, which is only 10% of the end target 868,000 tons/year. The reason for the slow progress is that the treated wastewater will need to be transported to the reuse sites across the river through the pipelines to be installed along the two bridges, but the construction of the two bridges (together with other four bridges) as planned under the component A of the project was delayed; and Component E: Project Management and Capacity Building – the number of PMO staff trained for capacity building is 358 person-days, which already exceeds the end target value of 158 person-days. The full-time deputy director for the PMO has been appointed by the government and started to work for the project management and implementation. The government proposal to extend the project closing date from the current December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2021 is under review and clearance by the Bank.

The mission discussed and reached agreement on this with the PMO. The number Comments: has been corrected to “zero” because the reused volume of treated wastewater is zero due to delays on construction of the pipelines as planned to convey the treated wastewater to the application sites.
