A.2. Description of the project activity:

>>

China Sichuan Province Seergu Hydropower Project (hereafter, the project), developed by Aba

Hydropower Generation Co. Ltd, is a new large diversion-type hydropower project located in the down

reaches of Heishui River, Mao County, Aba Zang zu and Qiang zu Autonomy State, Sichuan Province,

P.R.China. The total installed capacity of the project will be 150 MW with a predicted electricity supply

605,259 MWh/y to Central China Power Grid (hereafter, CCPG)[1]

. The electricity will be connected

into Mao County Substation which is one of Substation in CCPG. When the project accomplished the

new reservoir with submerge area is 0.516km2

and the power density is 290W/m2.

The project is a new hydropower project, the situation prior to the project is the same as the baseline

scenario, which is that the CCPG would provide the same amount of electricity. The electricity generatedfrom the project can displace part of the power from the fossil fuel fired power plants of the grid, and the

expected annual GHG emission reductions are 603,382 tCO2e/yr.

The power is from renewable sources, and hence improves the sustainability of power generation in

Central China, specifically through:

Reduce the GHG emission reduction to mitigate the global warming trend by providing cleaneclectic power;

Creation of employment (80 people will be permanently employed for the project operation andsecurity) and thereby contributes to poverty alleviation;

Enhances the local investment environment and therefore stimulate the local economy; Diversifies the sources of electricity generation, which is important for meeting growing energy

demands and the transition away from diesel and coal-supplied electricity generation; Makes good use of renewable hydroelectric resources.

B.4. Description of how the baseline scenario is identified and description of the identified

baseline scenario:

>>

Define baseline scenario to the project activity

It is required to identify realistic and credible alternative(s) that were available to the proposed

project activity or similar project developers that provide output or services comparable with the project

activity. These alternatives are required to be in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory

requirements. The following part was identified plausible project options, which include all possible

courses of actions that could be adopted in order to produce electricity for the CCPG.

There are four plausible options available:

Alternative 1: The Proposed Project activity undertaken without being registered as a CDM

project activity;

In this scenario the Project will generate zero-emission power with renewable source and cause the

emission reduction by displacing equivalent power generation from CCPG. However, the Project can not

be implemented due to low investment attractive, which will be analyzed in detail in the section of B.5.

Therefore the alternative 1 can not be the possible baseline scenario.

Alternative 2: Construct a thermal power plant with equivalent annual power supply, connected

to the grids.


8/50



This alternative is to construct a coal fuel-fired power plant with equivalent annual electricity

generation. For the annual utilization hour of the coal fuel plant is 5,430[4]

, which are greater than the

annual utilization of hydropower plant. Thus, installed capacity of the coal plants with equivalent annual

electricity generation as this project will be smaller than 150MW; the fossil fuel-fired power plantinstalled capacity will be 101MW.

According to the current laws and regulations of China, to build such as a small capacity (less than

135MW) thermal plants in the district covered by large-scale power grids is forbidden[5]

. Thus, it is not

available to construct a fossil fuel power plant as alternative.

Therefore the alternative 2 can not be the possible baseline scenario either.

Alternative 3: Construct a renewable power plant with equivalent power supply, generation,

connected to the grids.

The alternative is permitted by the national and local laws and regulations, but the wind energy, solar

energy and the terrestrial heat energy are strongly depend on climate and geography conditions,

according to the local condition, there are not enough other these resource can be utilize.[6][7]

Therefore the alternative 3 can not be the possible baseline scenario either.

Alternative 4: Continuation of the current situation, i.e. Get equivalent electricity supply from the

CCPG annually.

The alternative is permitted by the national and local laws and regulations, and there is no obstacle in

economical, technical or any other aspects to realize this scenario. Meanwhile, the CCPG is increasing its

installed capacity through expansion of existing power plants and construction new power plants for

decades, and the CCPG is a coal-fired dominant power grid with enough coal sources. That means there

is enough electricity can be provided by CCPG.

Therefore the alternative 4 can be the possible baseline scenario either.

As a conclusion of the above assessment, the only alternative baseline scenario is:

Alternative 4 : Continuation of the current situation, i.e. Get equivalent electricity

supply from the CCPG annually.

B.5. Description of how the anthropogenic emissions of GHG by sources are reduced below

those that would have occurred in the absence of the registered CDM project activity (assessment

and demonstration of additionality):

The following steps are used to demonstrate the additionality of the project according to the latest

version of the Tool for the demonstration and assessment of additionality (Version 05).

Step 1. Identification of alternatives to the project activity consistent with current laws and

regulations.

Sub-step 1a. Define alternatives to the project activity:

Four realistic and credible alternatives to the project activity are considered:

Alternative 1: The Proposed Project activity undertaken without being registered as a CDM

project activity;

Alternative 2: Construct a thermal power plant with equivalent annual power supply, connected

to the grids.

Alternative 3: Construct a renewable power plant with equivalent power supply, generation,

connected to the grids.

Alternative 4: Alternative 4: Continuation of the current situation, i.e. Get equivalent electricity

supply from the CCPG annually.

As we all know, the renewable energy like wind, solar and terrestrial heat are strongly rely on the

climate and geography conditions, the project located in Sichuan basin which serious lack of the above

sources. So for Alternative 3 will not be considered

Sub-step 1b. Consistency with mandatory laws and regulations:

According to B.4. part and statistical number from State Statistical Bureau, the average utilize hours for

China Coal-fire power plant is 5430 hours which greater than the hydropower plant, so as to construct a

Coal-fired power plant with equivalent annual electricity generation, the installed capacity must lower

than 150MW, Through calculation the installed capacity of coal-fire plant only 101MW for equivalent

electricity supply. As for the regulations regarding power production in China, it is forbidden to build a

thermal power station with an installed capacity lower than 135MW, there for alternatives 2 is not inline with applicable laws and regulations, and will not be considered in the assessment of the alternatives.

The Chinese power sector has undergone a transformation to a market-oriented system.

Therefore investment in a power generation project is an individual power project developersdecision based on theProject return and risk profile.[8]

There are no laws compelling the projectdeveloper to develophydroelectric plants, thus alternatives 1 and 4 identified are in line with allapplicable laws andregulations.

All in all, the alternative 1 and 4 is available to the project activity.

Step 2. Investment analysis

Sub-step 2a. Determine appropriate analysis method

The Tools for the demonstration and assessment of additionality provides us three optional methods to

analyze the investment outcomes: the simple cost analysis (Option I), the investment comparison analysis

(Option II) and the benchmark analysis (Option III).

The simple cost analysis (Option I) is not applicable for the project because the project activity willgenerate financial/economic benefits other than CDM-related income, through the sale of generated

electricity.

The investment comparison analysis (Option II) method can be only used if the alternatives to the project

[8]http://tzs.ndrc.gov.cn/xkxmql/xkxmyj/t20051010_78925.htm


10/50



are similar investment projects. However, this option is not applicable to the project, because the

alternative 4) to purchase electricity annually from CCPG is irrelevant for the project owner to make

business decision whether to execute this project. Thus Option II is not applicable.

Therefore, the only applicable analysis method left is benchmark analysis (Option III).

Sub-step 2b. Option III. Apply benchmark analysisAccording to the Interim Rules on Economic Assessment of Electrical Engineering Retrofit Projects

[9],

the project IRR of large-scale hydro power projects in China should be higher than 8% (after tax).

Benchmark for the IRR of this project applies. This benchmark is widely used for power project

investments in China and serves as the sectored benchmark rate on total investment for hydro projects.

Sub-step 2c. Calculation and comparison of financial indicatorsThe main data used in calculation of the project IRR show in table 4.

To summarize the main result of the calculations, the IRR of the project with/without CERs revenues are

shown in Table 5. Without revenues from the sales of CERs, the IRR only 6.28% which much lower than

the benchmark. And with the CERs, the project IRR will be 8.62%, higher than the benchmark.

FIRR % 6.28 8 8.62

Sub-step 2d. Sensitivity analysisThe purpose of the sensitivity analysis is to examine how the uncertainty of single variable impact on the

IRR, so as to check the stability and credibility of the results obtained. As for this project the single

variables were chosen total investment, sales price and operation cost due to the heavy influence to IRR,

the result in follow.

Table 6 Sensitivity Analysis

Items 10% 0% -10%

Total investment 5.63% 6.28% 6.96%

Sales price or

quantity6.93% 6.28% 5.51%

Operation Cost 6.16% 6.28% 6.39%

From the table above, we can see that within the -10%~10% variation scope of total investment, sales

price or electricity amount, or operation costs, the project IRRs are all below the benchmark.

when the total investment decreases 22% or the sales price increase 27% or the operation cost decreases

90%, the project IRR will be close to the benchmark 8%. But According to the official statistics (Price

Bureau of Chinese DNA), the material cost for production has increased 3.5% in 2006 and estimated to

increase about 2% in 20071. Therefore, it is impossible to decrease the investment or operation cost of

the project. As for sales price increase 27%, since the price was supervised and decided by Price

administration, it would not significantly change. Therefore the project certainly needs the CDM support

to improve the feasibility of the project implementation.

So, through the Investment analysis, the proposal project is not financially attractive.

Step 3. Barrier analysis

This step is not selected.

Step 4. Common practice analysis

Sub-step 4a. Analyze other activities similar to the proposed project activity:

The other activities similar to the proposed project activity are hydropower projects in the same region

(Sichuan Province), rely on a broadly similar technology (hydropower plants), are of a similar

scale(50MW~300MW), and take place in a comparable environment with respect to regulatory

framework, investment climate, access to technology, access to financing.

The common practice analysis is limited to the provincial level as the investment environment for eachprovince differs (e.g. with regards to taxes, loan policy and electricity tariffs). The selected geographical

area for the project, i.e. Sichuan Province, is relatively large. Sichuan Province is considerably larger

than several countries. The policies and regulations in Chinese provinces are different with each other.

According to Classification & Design Safety Standard of Hydropower Projects (DL5180-2003),

hydropower plants with capacity between 50 MW~300 MW are classified as medium size projects.

The significant reform to Chinese electric power sector was taken place in 2002. The reform involvedestablishing State Grid Corporation of China and China Central Power Grid Corporation

2. The former

State Power Corporation was restructured and separated into 5 national power generation companies3.

Before the power industry restructure in year 20024, the hydropower plants were mainly developed by the

state owned enterprises, provincial governments ensured that project entity of power plants can obtain

sufficient return by providing guarantee electricity tariff. Power plants were constructed with the national

or the local governmental funds, or the government provide the loan guarantee for the companies, the

developers didnt have financing difficulties. Thus the electricity tariff for each power plant was

determined with the principle of full-cost recovery5.However, the national policy changed after 2002, the

electricity tariff will be determined on the basis of average costs of power generation using the same

advanced technology and built within the same period under the provincial power grids. Thus projects

operated after 2002 are considered as similar projects to the proposed project since they were operated

under a same policy scheme.

According to Yearbook of China Water Resources 2006, the other activities operational after 2002 in

Sichuan Province are listed in Table 6 below, other CDM project activities are not included in the table.

Sub-step 4b. Discuss any similar options that are occurring:

As the projects list above, items 1,2,3 and 4 which was constructed very earlier and enjoyed low material

costs and bank loans which allow them better and easier to finance than the project developer of the

proposed project.[13]

so the items 1,2,3 and 4 can be excluded due to the investment climate incomparable.

Items from 5 to 10, the investment for each unite installed capacity as follow, the Jinyintai Hydropower

project is 7550 RMB/kW[14]

, Dechang Sankeshu Hydropower project is 7115 RMB/kW[15]

, Zilangban

Hydropower project is 8529 RMB/kW[16]

and Zhouba Hydropower project is 7189 RMB/kW[17]

which all

lower than the proposed project activity(9932.8 RMB/kW).

With regard Tianlonghu and Jinlongtan Hydro Project which installed capacity were similar to the

proposed project activity and the investment for each unite installed capacity are 7683 RMB/kW and7517 RMB/kW[18]

More over, For utilization hours the proposed project activity is less than two of them,

It will make the proposed project have less beneficial attractive and more exposed to financial risks than

the other projects also developed by private entities.

Items from 11 to 14, the four newly built hydro power projects, namely Ziyili Hydropower project,

Qianfoyan Hydro Power Project, Ganxipo Hydro Power Project and the Jiaojiping Hydro Power Project

all face the same difficulties as the proposed project. But the three projects have all considered use of

CDM benefits to alleviate this barrier before their construction. More over the Ganxipo Hydro Power

Project and Jiaojiping Hydro Power Project have already successfully been registered as CDM projects.

It can conclusion that the proposed project can not be considered as common practice.

All in all, we can conclude that the project activity is additional.

The timeline of the project is as follow:

Time Event

October 18th

,2004 Board meeting on the discussion of carbon credits.

May 18th, 2005 CDM application letter to Heishui county DRC.

May, 2005 Approval letter from Heishui County DRC.

Dec. 25th, 2005 Construction started.

March 20th, 2006 CDM consulting meeting with a consultant

December, 2007 Apply for LoA from NDRC

May 12th, 2008 Sichuan 5.12 earthquake

It can be found from the above table that the CDM was essential for project owner to go ahead with the

implementation of the project. In order to implement the project, the CDM was considered during design

phase. The delay of submission the project for validation is due to lack of qualified PDD developer,

buyer search and negotiation as well as host country approval letter application, which are common

practice in China. Moreover, the project is still under construction now and CDM is important for the

project considering the increased raw materials price, inflation and damage by the Sichuan 5.12

B.6. Emission reductions

B.6.1. Explanation of methodological choices:

>>

Project Emissions

The power density of the project is 609 W/m2, greater than 10 W/m

2, thus PEy=0

Baseline Emissions

According to baseline methodology ACM0002, the baseline emissions are the CO2 emissions from the

equivalent power supply in CCPG that are displaced by the project activity. So the baseline emissions by

the project activity during a given yeary is obtained as follow:

BEy=EGyEFy (1)

Where:

EGyis electricity supplied by the project activity to the grid in yeary, in MWh;

2006. Thus, method (a) is applicable to calculate EFgrid,OMsimple,y. And method (d) can only be used where

low-cost/must run resources constitute more than 50% of total grid generation, therefore, method (d) is

not applicable to calculateEFgrid,OMsimple,y.

Table 7 Constitution of low-cost/must run resources in CCPG during year 200220067

Year 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006

Percentage (%) 35.95% 34.43% 38.37% 38.56% 35.84%

For the project,EFgrid,OMsimple,y is calculated using ex ante option: A 3-year generation-weighted average,

based on the most recent data available at the time of submission of the CDM-PDD to DOE for

validation, without requirement to monitor and recalculate the emissions factor during the crediting

period.

Step 3. Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method.

According to Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, the simple OM emission

factor is calculated as the generation-weighted average CO2 emissions per unit net electricity generation(tCO2/MWh) of all generating power plants serving the system, not including low-cost/must-run power

plants/units. It may be calculated:

Option A: Based on data on fuel consumption and net electricity generation of each power plant/unit, or

Option B: Based on data on net electricity generation, the average efficiency of each power unit and the

fuel type(s) used in each power unit, or

Option C: Based on data on the total net electricity generation of all power plants serving the system and

the fuel types and total fuel consumption of the project electricity system.

Due to the data on fuel consumption, net electricity generation, average efficiency etc of each specific

power plant/unit serving the grid are not available to the public in China, then the Option A and Option B

can not be used forEFgrid,OMsimple,y calculation. Thus, Option C is used for calculatingEFgrid,OMsimple,y based

on the net electricity supplied to the grid by all power plants serving the system, not including low-cost/must-run power plants/units, and based on the fuel type(s) and total fuel consumption of the project

electricity system, as follows:

iisall fossil fuel types combusted in power sources in the project electricity system in year yy is either the three most recent years for which data is available at the time of submission of the CDM-

PDD to the DOE for validation (ex ante option) or the applicable year during monitoring (ex post option),following the guidance on data vintage in step 2.

For the project,EFgrid,OMsimple,y is calculated according to the statistics information of recent 3 years (from

2004 to 2006), the data are the latest and available at the time of this PDD submission. The result of

EFgrid,OMsimple,y is 1.2783 tCO2e/MWh, the detailed calculations are shown in Table A2-Table A7 of

Annex 3.

Step 4. Identify the cohort of power units to be included in the build margin (BM)

According to Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, the sample group of power

units m used to calculate the build margin consists of either:

(a) The set of five power units that have been built most recently, or

(b) The set of power capacity additions in the electricity system that comprise 20% of the system

generation (in MWh) and that have been built most recently.

The set of power units that comprises the larger annual generation should be used.

The direct application of the approach is difficult in China. The Executive Board (EB) has provided

guidance on this matter with respect to the application of the AMS-I.D and AM0005 methodologies for

projects in China on 7 October 2005 in response to a request for deviation by DNV on this matter. The

EB accepted the use of capacity additions to identify the share of thermal power plants in additions to the

grid instead of using power generation. The relevance of this EB guidance is also applicable to the Tool

to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system. The calculation details are described in step 5

below.

According to Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, there are two options

regarding vintage of data choices:

Option 1: For the first crediting period, calculate the build margin emission factor ex-ante based on the

most recent information available on units already built for sample group m at the time of CDM-PDD

submission to the DOE for validation. For the second crediting period, the build margin emission factor

should be updated based on the most recent information available on units already built at the time of

submission of the request for renewal of the crediting period to the DOE. For the third crediting period,

the build margin emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used. This option

does not require monitoring the emission factor during the crediting period.

Option 2: For the first crediting period, the build margin emission factor shall be updated annually, ex-

post, including those units built up to the year of registration of the project activity or, if information up

to the year of registration is not yet available, including those units built up to the latest year for which

information is available. For the second crediting period, the build margin emissions factor shall be

calculated ex-ante, as described in option 1 above. For the third crediting period, the build margin

emission factor calculated for the second crediting period should be used.

is more conservative as it assumes all recently built plants have the fuel efficiency as that of the most

advanced commercialized technologies;

3) Calculating theEFgrid,BM,ythrough emission factor of thermal power plants times the percentage shareof thermal power plants installed capacity addition within all recently built installed capacity. The proper

year is selected so that it is the closest time when the last 20% of installed capacity was built.

The above calculation approach has been used by several recently registered China projects. The BM

emission factor in this PDD is calculated as following sub-steps.

Sub-Step 5a: Calculating the percentages of CO2 emissions from the coal-fired, gas-fired and oil-

fired power plants in CO2 emissions from total thermal power plants

COEFi, j is the CO2 emission coefficient (tCO2/tce) of fuel i, taking into account the carbon content of the

fuels used by the grid and the percent oxidation of the fuel in year y.

EFThermalis the emission factor of thermal power plants.

For the project, EFgrid,BM,y is calculated according to the statistics information of recent 3 years (from2004 to 2006), the data are the latest and available at the time of this PDD submission. The result of

EFgrid,BM,y is 0.7156 tCO2e/MWh, the detailed calculations are shown in Table A8-Table A11 of Annex 3.

Step 6. Calculate the combined margin (CM) emissions factor

The combined margin emissions factor is calculated as follows:

Where:

EFgrid,BM,y is build margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)

EFgrid,OM,y is operating margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tCO2/MWh)wOM is weighting of operating margin emissions factor (%)

wBMis weighting of build margin emissions factor (%)

According to Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system, the weighs wOMand wBM,

by default, are 50% and 50% for the project ( i.e., wOM=50%, wBM= 50%). The calculated result of

EFgrid,CM,yis 0.9969 tCO2e/MWh.

TheEFgrid,CM,y applied in this PDD is fixed for a crediting period and may be revised at the renewal of the

crediting period.

Leakage

According to baseline methodology ACM0002, there is no need for the project to consider leakage (Ly).

Emission Reductions

The annual emission reduction (ERy) of the project is the difference between baseline emission and

project activity emission. The final GHG emission reduction is calculated as follows:

ERy (tCO2e/yr) =BEyPEyLy (8)

B.7.2 Description of the monitoring plan:

>>

The aim of the monitoring plan is to make sure that the emission reduction quantity monitored and

evaluated during the project activities vintage is completed, consistent, clear and precise.

1. Monitoring subjectThe primary data monitored is the electricity quantity upon grids by the project activity.

2. Processing and managing structureIn order to insure the monitor plan work effectively and efficiently, the project owner established the

processing and managing structure as shown in chart 2, which identified the relative staffs and institution

for data collection and preservation in Operation and Management Office. In addition, the project owner

will designate a monitoring commissioner to take charge of supervising and demonstrating all the

measuring and recording tasks, such us collecting data ammeter readings, selling receipts, calculating

emissions reduction and preparing monitoring report etc.

Chart 2 processing and management of project

3. Monitoring apparatus and instalment:The electric ammeter will be configured as the technology requirements of the handbook of electric

ammeter (DL/T448-2000). The electricity quantity apparatus should be examined and approved by the

project owner and the quality control institution, which should be in accordance with the regulations on

the handbook of electric ammeter (DL/T448-2000).

4. Quality control Ammeter adjustment

The ammeter periodic and on-spot periodic tests should follow the national electricity industry standards

in order to insure the precision of ammeter. After the tests, the ammeter should be sealed. The project

owner and the power grid should seal the ammeter collectively. Any party mustnt dismantle or change

independently.

When the following circumstances occurred, all the ammeters should be tested by a qualified

measurement institution in regulated work days, which is commissioned collectively by the project

owner and the power gird:

i. The error of the ammeter over the allowable ranges.ii. The ammeter has been repaired or under repairing.

Data and information management

All monitoring data should be saved in electrical recording form and the electrical documents should be

back in Compact Disc or Hard Disc. The monitoring commissioner should also keep the receipts and

prepare a monitoring report at the end of each year, which including electricity quantity monitoring files,

receipts files, repairs record files and emergency situation files.

Data will be archived at least for two years after the end of the crediting period.

5. Disposing process of urgency and abnormityWhen the monitoring data is abnormal, the on-grid electricity quantity should be confirmed by the

processes stated as below:

When the main ammeter is failed, the project owner should read and record the auxiliary ammeter

data in stead and the main ammeter and auxiliary ammeter should have the same precision. The main

ammeter should be repaired and replaced rapidly, and the main ammeter cant be used before it has been

tested carefully.

When the main and auxiliary ammeter fails to work normally, the on-grid electricity quantity could be

determined by the output ammeter records and the electricity consumed by itself. The project owner

should provide the method to evaluate the on-grid electricity quantity in clear and conservative ways and

demonstrate the rationality to DOE.

6. Training programThe PDD writer will in charge of training all the relative officers. The whole training program contains

the CDM knowledge, the operational regulations, the quality control (QC) standard flows, the data

recording requirements and the management rules.

SECTION D. Environmental impacts>>

D.1. Documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts, including transboundary

impacts:

>>

In accordance with the relevant environment law and regulations, an Environmental Impact

Assessment has been carried out by Chengdu Hydroelectric Investigation & Design Institution of State

Power Company, which was accepted and approved by the Sichuan Environmental Protection Bureau

on 21st July 2005.

The conclusion of these reports are as follow: on one hand the project will provide considerable energy,

and improve the condition of the local economic development; on the other hand the environmental

impacts of the project are marginal and the project has been approved for development according to allnational and local regulations, more details as follows:

Compensation for submerged land

There are 16 resettle people in the project site and only 1908.18mu (1.273 km2) of farmland will be

submerged by the project.[22]

The project owner will make compensations to affected people according to

theLand Administration Law of the Peoples Republic of China (2004 Revision), theLand Administration

Regulation of Sichuan Province and relevant regulations.

Air pollution and noise

The project is located in mountainous area with few habitants; it will have little impact on local people

and local environment. The project owner will reduce the effect of waste gas, noise and dust in the

construction period through irregular sprinkling.

Waste water

Waste water will be produce by living activities and building constructions, the waste water will be

discharged by sedimentation tank. After removing the suspending particulates, waste water will irrigate

vegetable garden and forest land according to the EIA report.

Solid waste

Solid construction waste will be treated according to the requirements of the Pollution Control Standard

for Storage and Disposal Site for General Industrial Solid Wastes (GB18599-2001), and vegetation

recovery and planting would be accomplished after the project accomplished.

Ecological impact

According to investigation, there is no valuable and rare terrestrial animals and aquatic wildlife in theregion of the project. The project owner will conduct the work in line with relevant regulations so as to

protect ecological environment and prevent soil erosion. The project will have little impact on the

terrestrial livings. The quantity of phytoplankton and zooplankton will be increased when the project

finished, variety and quantity of fish will thus be increased.

To sum up, negative impacts on the environment will disappear along with the completion of the project

construction. In conjunction with the implementation of a series of environment protection measures

during the construction and operation, the project will not have significant impacts on the environment.

In conclusion, Environmental impact arising from the project is insignificant. No additional measure

should be adopted for environment protection.
