Chapter 1 General

1.1 Project Background

The Yangqiao Ship Lock is one of the major hydraulic structures which make up the

Fenquan River Hydraulic Engineering Project. The Lock directly concerns water

transportation of mass goods in Linquan County, since the water route finally joins with

the Yangtze River after taking the path of the Fenquan River, the Shaying River, the

Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Great Canal. Linquan County is featured by

fertile land and abundant natural resources, which make it a national commercial grain

production base and one of the important energy industry bases in China. The direct

heartland of the Linquan spans across Linquan County, Fuyang County and Yingshang

County, and its indirect heartland can extend as far as Henan Province, cities along the

Huaihe River, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Insomuch as the direct heartland is

concerned, Linquan is an important coal industry-pillared Chinese city as well as an

important transportation hub in East China. Apart from that, the city is a center of

commerce & trade and a regional hub of processing industries. With diverse

characteristics and advantages, Linquan promises an optimistic future outlook.

As national economy grows and resources development proceeds in the heartland, the

Ship Lock is witnessing increasing throughput handling accompanied especially by the

staggering production capacity of Linquan Chemical Engineering Co, Ltd. and the

constant growth of agricultural & sideline product processing. It is anticipated that the

annual throughput will rise to 4.80 million tons in 2020 and 6.1 million tons in 2030. Seen

from this perspective, the Yangqiao Ship Lock Extension Project (hereinafter referred to

as “the Ship Lock”, “the Project” or “the Work”) is a very important one.

1.2 Project Profile

2

The Ship Lock is set to be extended against Grade IV ship lock criteria, with a 500t

design tonnage for barges. A 180m-long chamber will be constructed, totaling a specified

volume of 180×12×3.5m (Length*Width*Water Depth at Lock Sill). The Project involves

a capital investment of approximately RMB161 million, including RMB9.958 worth of

environmental protection facilities. The Project plans to involve a construction period of

two years; that is, it is set to be completed and commissioned at the end of 2015. As for

construction plans, the Project will comprise the chamber, upstream & downstream lock

heads, upstream & downstream navigation channels, upstream & downstream approach

channels, berthing structures, highway bridge & link road, sluice gate &

electromechanical equipment, and control panel room & management facility.

3.3 Environmental Supervision

Environmental supervision shall be conducted for the Work in an active way to

realize “clean production” in compliance with the Notice on the Performance of

Environmental Supervision for Public Transport Projects (issued by the Ministry of

Transport). The policy is intended to minimize ecosystem damage, maximize

ecosystem restoration during the construction work, conform to the environmental

protection requirements and make noise, waste gas and wastewater emissions meet

the relevant criteria. The relevant stakeholders shall ensure adequate investment in

environmental protection projects while securing that ecosystem protection/restoration

and aquatic environment protection efforts proceed in pace with the Work.

Environmental supervision is an important condition for the implementation of

environmental protection measures. As an important supplementary step for the

entirety of Project supervision focusing primarily on Work quality, environmental

supervision helps lay the groundwork for the environmental protection acceptance

procedure of the Work.

The ESE is an important role in the management and supervision hierarchy. For

this Project, it is very important to ensure the integration of the ESE into the ESE

system; in other words, the environmental supervision responsibility is specifically

defined and integrated into the Project Supervision Engineer Employment Agreement.

Meanwhile, the EEC is introduced into the Project supervision mechanism. The

EEC directly enters into an employment agreement with the Owner independent of

the Contractor and the ESE. The EEC assists the Owner in training, consultancy

services and review of the environmental protection measures taken by the Contractor

on the advice of the ESE. The EEC also assists with the preparation of semiannual

environmental monitoring reports during the operation of the Project as requested by

the World Bank.

3.4 Contractor Management

The Contractor is responsible for environmental protection at the construction stage

of the Work. The FIDIC Civil Work Evaluation Standard Form Contract thus provides

in Chapter19.1: “In the entire process of construction, completion and rectification of

other defects, the Contractor shall take every reasonable measure to protection the Site

and surrounding environment so as to prevent the Work from generating pollution,

noise or other consequences that may cause personal or financial damage or hindrance

to the public.”

For this Project, the Contractor will play a key role in the construction work,

especially in regard of environmental management, pollution control & prevention,

etc. Therefore, the following requirements are made of the Contractor.

A powerful contractor shall be selected so that the environmental management

plans can be effectively executed;

The Contractor and the Engineer shall receive training on environmental

protection and management before commencement;

Environmental impact control measures for the construction period shall be

included in the Bidding Document of the Contractor as well as in the Agreement as a

contractual requirement for the Contractor.

The Contractor is required to monitor its own environmental activities and submit

environmental performance reports on a weekly basis, which are to be reviewed and

approved by the APPSCI Project Office and the work supervision team.

24

The Contractor shall provide each subproject with one fulltime environmental

monitor, who is to receive further training programs in order to be fit for their job.

Throughout the construction stage, the Contractor shall communicate and consult

with the areas near the Site and post notices in each and every individual construction

site to provide the public with information on specific types and time schedules of

work. At the same time, contact information about the contact persons shall be

provided to facilitate communication of public complaints and proposals on the Work.

Chapter 4 Environmental Monitoring Plans

Purpose

Environmental monitoring is a must for both the construction stage and the

operation stage. Its purpose is to provide a basis for grasping full and dynamic

information of the Project in a timely way, understanding the local environmental

quality changes brought by the Project, understanding the scope of such changes,

obtaining dynamic information on environmental quality during the operation period

and feeding back information in a timely way to the governing authorities for

environmental management.

Monitoring Agency

Environmental monitoring for the construction and operation period involves

many aspects (e.g. noise emissions, the aquatic environment and ecology) and

requires highly sophisticated monitoring personnel and apparatuses. Therefore, it is

suggested that the Owner entrust the job to accredited professional entities.

Monitoring program

The environmental monitoring covers noise, water quality and ecological environment. The detailed monitoring tiem, frequency and items are listed in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.

In addition to routine monitoring conducted by professionals in professional agency according to relevant regulations, the contractor and construction supervision unit can also carry out other monitoring.

Noise monitoring near the construction machinery and sensitive point with portable noise meter;

Visual checking of dust caused by temporary detour, piling yard of powder material, disturbed surface soil and transport trucks;

Visual checking of water quality of Fenquan River at upstream and downstream of approach channel site , and water quality of the rivers,and fish ponds into

26

which wastewater from the construction sites and camps is discharged.

Drawing on experiences from environmental management of other WB project, the contractor should be responsible for environmental supervision. Thus, the contractor and construction supervision unit shoud submit environmental monitoring report to the WB project office of Provincial Transport Department. Furthermore, they are required to report to the WB project office immediately when unexpected environmental pollution accident happens. The contractor can apply proper pollution control measures including professional agency to conduct monitoring. All of the monitoring facilities should be included in bidding documents so that bidding can meet the requirements and they can become parts of the contract. Meanwhile, the contractor and the construction supervisor should pay attention to these requirements. Anhui Provincial Transport Department and other environmental management and supervision agencies can aslo select good contractor according to these requirements.

Monitoring staff from the contractor and construction supervision unit should be trained before carrying out environmental monitoring. Transport Department will review monthly environmental rerport and check daily monitoring on site. The requirements about monitoring and reporting will be included in bidding documents and contracts with the contractor and construction supervision unit.

Environmental Monitoring Report

Construction Phase

During the construction phase, the Environmental Management Section should commission local environmental monitoring station to carry out monitoring according to construction periods of the channel improvement project.

During the construction phase, environmental monitoring report should be submitted monthly to the Construction Section and Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.

Operation Phase

The monitoring results should be formally submitted twice a year to the WB project office of Transport Departmen or APPSCIG. The WB project office (APPSCIG) should collate and archive these reports. The envionmental monitoring reports are the basis for the WB and Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau to valuation the achievement of environmental protection, environmental impacts and the need of extra environmental protection measures for unexpcted impacts.

The main contents of the environmental monitoring plan include:

Monitoring time, frequency, position, item, method and quality control program;

27

Monitoring data and statistic analyses;

Introduction of the operation of monitoring facilities;

Abnormal items.

Estimation of Monitoring Cost

The monitoring cost at the construction phase is estimated as: 50,000 RMB * 2 years=100,000 RMB. The monitoring cost at the operation phase is estimated as: 50,000 RMB * 3 years=150,000 RMB. The monitoring results at first three years of the operation phase will be checked with prediction of environmental impacts. The monitoring program after that will be revised according to the results in first three years.

In addition, 50,000RMB will be remained for monitoring of emergency accident.

The cost of other monitoring conducted by the contractor and supervisor is included in contract price.

Chapter 5 Staff Training

Successful implementation of a Project environmental management plan depends

on the knowhow and working experience of environmental management and

environmental management staff. Meanwhile, with constant developments and

progress in science & technology, it is of vital importance to provide staff training and

improve the staff organization structure. Staff training programs may be provided

either at home or abroad. Overseas training shall be provided in countries with mature

experience in terms of roadwork construction and operation/management systems.

Domestic training programs may be provided in the form of lectures given by experts

from universities, environmental research institutes and professional consulting

agencies.

A retrospect of earlier experience indicates that the Contractor and the Project

Supervision Company must be strict with themselves in stepping up environmental

protection efforts. Even if such self-inspection is not the ultimate end, it can help them

develop a consciousness of environmental protection and help the Environmental

Management & Monitoring Authority better perform supervision responsibilities. The

Contractor, the Project Supervision Engineer s and their superiors must undergo

training programs in order to conduct self-inspection.

See Tab. 5-1 for specific details about the staff training plan.
