difference in distribution of noises and vibration sensitive points.

Different line options take planning and passenger traveling into

account. Option I recommended for the project is

environmentally reasonable featured by short line, small

quantity of earth and rock works, and convenient traveling by

passengers.

2.2 Conclusion of assessment of current state of environment

1. Most of landform along the project is wash plane areas. The

landform is flat and wide and is urban eco-system and agriculture

eco-system centered with human activities.

2. Noises in function areas of sensitive points on the sides of Existing

Beijing-Guangzhou Railway exceed standards to some degree.

Sensitive points on the sides of the newly built sections can meet

noise standards and requirements of function areas.

3. Along the line are rural areas and no obvious vibration sources.

Environment Management Program of Newly Builr Raihvay of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Pmenger Dedicated Line

Vibration of current state approaches background vibration.

Environment vibration can meet requirements of 70dB at daytime

and 67dB at night.

4. TV signal has very good coverage in the villages along the

Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line and facilitate

high receiving quality, but cable TV popularization is very low.

2.3 Conclusions of environment impact assessment

1. Conclusion of eco-environment impact assessment

(1) Railway construction will cover permanent land use of

1 1 74.5hm2, of which is 93 1 .7hm2 (basic agriculture field of

91 1.3 hm2) of cultivated land and 63.1 hm2 of construction land.

Use of large quantity of cultivated land will produce adverse

impact on use layout and agriculture production along the line,

and results in reduction of grain yield of 12.862 million kg

every year. By taking measures of economic compensation for

land creation and recovery, the impact can be alleviated.

(2) For the project construction, 171300 trees in the construction

scope will be cut, resulting in destruction to vegetation along

the line. In the project design, reasonable compensation will be

provided for tree cutting. At the same time, arbors, bushes and

grasses are planted on the sides of the line and roadbed slop to

protect the slopes and beautifying and improving

eco-environment. 292840 arbors and 144,090 bushes will be

planted to greatly compensate for destruction to vegetation by

the project construction.

(3) In the design of bridges and culverts, requirements for flood

discharge, irrigation, surface runoff, person traveling and animal

passages have been taken into account. Bridges and culverts are

all designed for water level of 11100, producing slight impact on

rivers, flood discharge, flood detention, irrigation and overland

runoff and animal passages.

(4) Filling for roadbed and station site of the project is

1980.2 x 1 04m3, and cutting is 1 163 .Ox 1 04m3 (including bridge

foundation cut of 1092 .5~ 1 04m3). The project has provided

related project protection and greening prevention measures for

earth site, roadbed slope, spoil of bridge and culvert foundation,

construction site and passage. Fulfillment of these measures will

help to reduce impact of earth and rock works on

eco-environment and reduce water and soil loss.

(5) The project has 19 earth sites which can provide 1995 x 10'm3 of

earth and covers earth site of 540hm2 consisted of hills and

barren and dry land, producing slight impact on agricultural

production and vegetation. There are 16 spoil sites, which are

all soil pits produced by the project. Spoil will be treated and

recovered with the earth sites.

(6) Total of 1 8 1634.4t water and soil is produced from construction

period and natural recovery period of the project. And 172553.0t

of water and soil loss can be reduced by taking water and soil

reservation measures.

(7) There are no environment-sensitive areas such as natural

reservation area, water source protection area and cultural relic

reservation units in the assessment scope of the project.

2. Conclusions of assessment of sound environment impact

(1) According to environment noise predication results, the noise

equivalent sound level 30 meters from center line of outside

railway to residences is 64.5-74.4dBA at daytime and

Environment Management Program of Newly Bui& Railway of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

62.2-72.3dBA at night, 0.2-4.4dBA higher and 0.1-2.3dBA

higher than standards at daytime and night respectively; the

noise equivalent sound level 30-60(75) meters fiom center line

of outside railway to residences is 63.4-73.4dBA at daytime and

60.8-7 1.3dBA at night, 0.1-3.4dBA higher and 5.8-1 6.3dBA

higher than standards at daytime and night respectively; the

noise equivalent sound level 30 meters in Grade 2 residence is

54.8-70.2dBA at daytime and 5 1.1-67.9dBA at night,

0.2-10.2dBA higher and 1.1-17.9dBA higher than standards at

daytime and night respectively; and the noise equivalent sound

level in special sensitive points such as schools and

kindergartens is 62.4-73.3dBA at daytime and 59.3-69.2dBA

at night, 2.4-1 3.3dBA higher and 9.3-1 9.2dBA higher than

standards at daytime and night respectively.

(2) According to environment noise forecast results, and in

combination with scale of sensitive points and situations of

surrounding landform conditions, 25 special sensitive points of

schools and nursery kindergartens and 133 residence sensitive

buildings, 7 places including Hequpu Primary School and

Yinchuan Primary School have sound isolation barriers, and 63

places including Yingli Village and Houxiaozhuang have sound

isolation windows and 88 places including Xitaying village and

Xiying have noise reduction measures combining sound barrier

and sound isolation windows.

(3) There are total 95 sound barriers along the line, with total length

of 56970m and There are 151 sound isolation and ventilation

windows along the line with total areas of 29435m2;. Expenses

of noise pollution prevention and control are 178,328,000 Yuan,

Environment Management Program of Newly Buik Railway of Shijazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

of which 163,610,000 is invested for sound barrier and

14,7 18,000 Yuan is invested in sound isolation windows.

(4) Planning departments along the line is suggested to reasonably

plan functions of land on the sides of the planned railway with

reference to forecast results of noise in the report. In the section

from Shijiazhuang to Handan, there are 10 meter high

no-sediment bridges, no sheltering and no noise reduction

measures. When the noise is controlled within 60dBa at daytime,

there should be no noise-sensitive buildings such as residence,

schools and hospitals within 390m on the sides of the center line

of the railway.

3. Conclusions of assessment of environment vibration impact

(1) Average speed in the entrance and exit station sections in the

passenger dedicated line during operation period is relatively

high and only some trains will stop in the station to avoid high

grade trains. Expected vibration value is high. Most of outdoors

ground Z vibration grades 30 meters from external tract fi-om

road bank and bridges and section can't meet standards of 80dB.

(2) Evaluation of outdoors ground Z vibration grades 30 meters

from external tract from road bank and bridges and section is as

high as 84.5-86.5dB. Internal and external vibration of the

buildings can't meet standards.

(3) Schools and nursery schools on the sides of the line are far from

the line. Indoors and outdoors noises can meet 80dB standards.

Outdoor vibration of No. 60 Zhangzhuang Primary School (3 5m)

and No. 11 1 Shizhai No. 1 Middle School (1 8m) exceeds 80dB.

(4) Points more than 80 meters from the roadbed and non-residue

roadbed along the flood plainlflushing plain of

Environment Management Program of Newb Buill Raihuq of Shjiiazhuang-Zhengrhou Passenger Dedicated Line

Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line can meet

vibration standards on the sides of the railway trunk. After using

vibration reduction roadbed, the vibration standard distance is

about 51m. 60 meters from the bridge impact scope can meet

standards, after vibration reduction, distance of 38 meters can

meet standards. Taking damping role of the buildings, vibration

33 meters from road banks and 24 meters from bridges lines

after vibration reduction measures can be lower than 80dB.

4. Conclusions of assessment of water environment impact

(1) After implementation of the project, increased wastewater in

new Handan Station, New Hebi and New Xinxiang is all

domestic wastewater, which is discharged into existing pipelines

and then to municipal discharge system and finally to municipal

wastewater treatment plant after treatment in the septic tank.

Each index can meet Grade I11 standards of Wastewater

Comprehensive Discharge Standards (GB8978-1996). The ,

treatment process designed is feasible.

(2) Wastewater in new Gaoyi Station is, after oxidation treatment,

discharged into main drainage channel near the station.

Outgoing water quality can meet Grade I1 standards of

Wastewater Comprehensive Discharge Standards

(GB8978-1996). The treatment process designed is feasible.

Wastewater in new Xingtai Station is, after oxidation treatment,

discharged into Niuwei River. Outgoing water quality can meet

Grade I1 standards of Wastewater Comprehensive Discharge

Standards (GB8978- 1996). The treatment process designed is

feasible. Wastewater in new Anyang Station is, after oxidation

treatment, discharged into Chapodian channel near the station.

Outgoing water quality can meet Grade I1 standards of

Wastewater Comprehensive Discharge Standards

(GB8978-1996). The treatment process designed is feasible.

5 . Conclusions of assessment of air environment impact

(1) New Gaoyi, New Xingtai, New Handan, New Anyang, New

Hebi and New Xinxiang are heated with terrestrial heat,

producing no adverse impact to the air environment.

Maintenance regions in New Gaoyi, New Handan, New Hebi

and New Xinxiang are heated by oil boiler. Soot, concentration

of SO2 and NOx, after measurement, can meet standards of

Category I1 Section I1 of GB 1327 1-200 1 Discharge Standards of

Boiler Air Pollutants.

(2) During construction of the project, fume produced from

construction machines, dusts from earth construction and

transportation vehicles and fumes discharged from temporary

small boilers for hot water and cooking at the construction site

produce certain impact on air environment. However, after

taking measures, adverse impact can be controlled. The

construction unit should strictly observe related laws and

regulations to minimize the impact. The impact will be naturally

vanished with completion of the construction.

(3) Heating mode in maintenance regions in New Gaoyi, New

Handan, New Hebi and New Xinxiang is the same as the station.

Oil-fuel boilers are changed into terrestrial heat pumps.

6. Conclusions of assessment of electromagnetic environment impact

(1) After operation of the project, electromagnetic radiation

produced by operation of trains greatly reduces noise-signal

ratio of channels along the line. After considering radiation and

Environrneni Management Program of Newly Buill Raihvay of Sh@huang-Zhenou Passenger Dedicated Line

sheltering influence of the trestles and train bodies, high-speed

moving of the train results in rapid drop of wireless channels,

each sensitive point are seriously affected by interference and

noise-signal ratio is dropped. Generally speaking, the project

produces very obvious impact on the TV receiving of the

residents along the line.

(2) Working frequency electric fields and magnetic fields produced

by enclosure of the traction transformer station is far lower than

national standards, producing no adverse impact on health of

residents outside the enclosure of the transformer station.

7. Conclusion of public participation

(1) Public participation can make assessment unit know lots of

public information on related project construction and plays

positive role on direction of project construction and

environment protection and coordination, strengthen

understanding and support of public on the project and lay solid

foundation for smooth implementation of the project.

(2) The People along the railway show support to the project and

considers the project will benefit the local economic

development. Almost all the investigators realize importance of

environment. Noises and vibration is the major environment

problem. Most of people cooperate with the removal for land

use involved and wish to get reasonable economic

compensation.

(3) The assessment suggests the employer places priority to

Environment Management Program of Newly Buik Railway of Sh&huang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

operation period of the railway.

8. Conclusion of analysis of solid waste impact

Waste of passenger trains should be placed in a fixed point and

recovered and disposed centrally. Increase effort in management of

waste discharge of the station. Solid waste produced from the project

will not produce impact to surrounding.

9. Conclusion of analysis of social and economic environment

(1) Construction of Shijiazhuang -Zhengzhou passenger dedicated

line is objective requirements of social and economic

development along the line and of the affected regions and is

objective needs to improve railway transportation quality and

service level, and meeting market competition; helps to improve

infrastructure construction along the line and enhance regional

economic integration. Regional social and economic

development is needs to improve railway network and realize

leap railway development strategies.

(2) Though construction of the project covers land of the removed

residents by changing their living and operating mode or being

resettled, their economic income and resident conditions, after

fulfillment of compensation expenses and proper settlement by

railway and local departments, is no lower than that before

resettlement. In addition, this plays advancing role to economic

development of some areas.

10. General conclusions of environment impact assessment

According to the assessment, construction of

Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line conforms to

national energy structure policies and technical policies in railway

sector and is of great importance to economic development and

22

Environment Management Program of Newly Built Railway of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

improvement of traffic situations along the line. Though the project

will produce more or less negative impact on eco-environment,

sound environment, vibration environment, water environment, air

environment, and electromagnetic environment in the construction

region, effective preventive measures are taken after realizing the

importance of the impact. The report also provides preventive

measures and suggestions addressing local environment features.

Only when the environment protection measures and main

construction project are completely implemented according to

requirements of "three simultaneous", adverse impact of the project

on environment can be reduced or eliminated. Implementation of the

project will not produce serious impact or destruction to the

environment along the line. The project construction is

environmentally feasible.

Chapter 3 Mitigation measures

3.1 Environment protection for early preparation period of the

project

Environment protection for early preparation period of the project

mainly includes overall survey of environment sensitive points,

select objectives of major environment project and prepares

environment impact report and water and soil reservation plan and

report at the feasibility study report and provides function

description on environment protection and water and soil reservation

measures in the design of main project. Protection measures should

be increased to those not considered in the project design or

protective measures.

3.2 Environment protection measures at design stage

Eco and water and soil reservation measures

Fully considering choice of railway lines, avoid invading sensitive

eco-system, try to cover as little basic farm filed as possible. At basic

farm protection zone, try to replace high banks with bridges,

Temporary land for earth getting and spoil doesn't use basic farm.

According to provisions of Article 17 of Regulations on the

Protection of Basic Farmland, where selection of site for national

major construction projects related to energies, traffics and water

works can't avoid basic farmland protection zone, and farmland in

the basic Farmland protection areas is used, an application must be

submitted to land management departments of People's government

above country level according to procedures and approval authority

specified in Land Administration Law of the People' Republic of

Environment Manazement Program of Newly Built Railway of Shyiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

China and submitted to Peoples government for approval after the

same level agriculture administrative departments sign it with

remarks. The project covers more than 500 mu of farmland, an

application must be reported to the State Council for approval.

Therefore, the employer should hlfill related procedures and pay

farmland cultivation expenses for land compensation balance by

National land resources departments.

In the design, under principle of minimum use of land, try to use as

little good land and high-quality forest land as possible when

selecting route, try to use barren and hill land and dry land,

reasonably adjust soil and earth areas, try to use the cut for fill to

reduce area of temporary land and reduce damage to land and

vegetation.

According to soil and climate features along the line, design

landscape with arbors, bushes and grasses and try to use local species

within the railway construction scope. There are total of 29.28~10'

arbors planted and 14.41 x 10' bushes planted on the sides of the line.

The greening area on the roadbed slope is 216.65hm2.

Plant trees and grasses and recover agricultural land at earth getting

and spoil sites and control water and soil loss during the construction

period. At soil getting and spoil site, total of 375.0hm2 plants are

protected and 165.0 hm2 of agriculture land is recovered.

2. Noise treatment measures

( I ) There are total 95 sound barriers along the line, with total length

of 56970m;

(2) There are 15 1 sound isolation and ventilation windows along the

line with total areas of 29535m2;

3. Vibration prevention and control measures

Environment Management Program of Newly Buill Raihvay of Shyiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

(1) Vibration measures should be taken at the sensitive points where

vibration nearest to the external tracks exceeds 80dB.

No-sediment line is taken with measures of overall

vibration-reduction roadbed. There are 83 sections of

vibration-reduction roadbed and 45690 double meters.

(2) After using vibration-reduction roadbed, the no-sediment line, if

vibration of sensitive points on the sides of the railway trunk

exceeds standards, should be removed until indoors vibration

reaches standards. Total of 31300m2 of houses should be

removed along the line.

(3) Based on vibration environment requirements, local government

and related departments at different levels are suggested to stop

building residence, schools and hospitals within vibration

standards distance along Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger

Dedicated Line.

4. Wastewater treatment measures

(1) Indexes of wastewater from New Handan, New Hebi and New

Xinxiang, after treatment in septic tanks, can meet Grade I11

standards of Wastewater Comprehensive Discharge Standards

(GB8978-1996) and the wastewater is discharged into municipal

wastewater treatment plant.

(2) Domestic wastewater from New Gaoyi, New Xingtai and New

Anyang, after treatment in adjusting sedimentation tank and

secondary bio-contact oxidation tank, can meet Grade I1

standards of Wastewater Comprehensive Discharge Standards

(GB8978-1996) and is discharged into channels nearby.

5 . Suggestions on air pollution control

Along the line, terrestrial heat pump should be used for heating.

Environment Management Program of Newly Builr Raihuay of Shijazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

Only 4 maintenance regions are set fuel boiler for heating. To meet

environment protection requirements, heating facilities along the line

should be unified for convenient management. It is recommended

that oil-fuel boiler in the maintenance areas in New Gaoyi, New

Handan, New Hebi and New Xinxiang should be changed into

terrestrial heating pumps.

6. Solid waste control measures

(1) According to requirements of T.J.W [I9951 No. 178 of Ministry

of Railway of Circular on Issuing Supervision and Management

Regulations on Comprehensive Treatment of Waste along the

Line, all the train wastes should be sealed in a container and are

placed in a fixed location. At the platform of the stations for

waste storage, there are waste collection and transportation

devices. Waste, after being collected should be transported to

environment and health department for unified treatment.

(2) According to requirements of T.J.W [I9951 No. 178 of Ministry

of Railway of Circular on Issuing Supervision and Management

Regulations on Comprehensive Treatment of Waste along the

Line, all the train wastes should be sealed in a container and are

placed in a fixed location. At the platform of the stations for

waste storage, there are waste collection and transportation

devices. Prohibit placing waste at anywhere.

(3) Waste collection device is set along the line. Waste, after being

collected should be transported to environment and health

department for unified treatment.

7. Electromagnetic prevention measures

(1) Protection measures on TV receiving impact

After completing construction of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou

Passenger Dedicated Line, impact of electromagnetic radiation

produced by the trains on receiving TV of residents along the

line can be eliminated by cable wire TV network. At the same

time, radiation and sheltering impact can be completely

eliminated. Compensation principle will be that compensation

will be given to the sensitive points where receiving quality is

greatly reduced after construction of the project. Compensation

expenses are 500 Yuan per family. Reserve amount for the

compensation is 5.59 million Yuan.

(2) Protective measures on impact of traction transformation station

Though working frequency electric field and magnetic field

produced by the built six 220kv traction transformer station

outside the enclosure is much lower than standards

recommended by the state, transformer station is suggested to be

at least 30 meters from sensitive targets such as residence,

nursery schools and hospitals to fbrther reduce electromagnetic

impact and eliminate fear of residents.

8. Mitigation measures for isolation impact of resident traffic and daily

cultivation

The line is designed with all flyovers. Bridges and culverts are

equipped to the line crossing existing roads, planned rods and

irrigation channels to provide convenience for daily traffic and

cultivation for the residents on the sides of the road There are more

than 280 bridges and culverts dedicated fro daily traffic and

cultivation of residents along the line.

3.3 Mitigation measures on environment impact during the

construction period

1 . Eco-environment protection during the construction period

Environment Management Program of Newly Builf Railway of Shijazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

To reduce damage of the project to eco-environment along the line,

take comprehensive measures such as engineering measures, plant

measures and land recovery during construction period. At the same

time, strengthen construction management and guarantee engineering

quality to reduce damage to eco-environment and enable

eco-environment in local section to transform for better to reach

purpose of economic development and protection of eco-system. The

following mitigation measures are taken:

( I ) Temporary land recovery

The project covers farm as temporary land and recovery

measures should be taken actively so as to accelerate recovery for

cultivation. Specific measures are: peel off 30-40cm mature soil

layer for piling or storage, timely clear, loosen and cover for

cultivation after construction. In case that it is least possible to

recover for cultivation or economically feasible, soil pit or spoil

with larger depth can be used by degrading as greening or other

land. Recover the soil getting and spoil site for cultivation or

farmland, so as to reduce impact of temporary land such as soil

getting and soil site on farmland to some degree.

On temporary land of slow slope land, try to transplant high trees

and peel off the mature soil for pile and backup and finally

recovery it into forest land, helping for recovery of foreign

resources and improvement of forest environment.

(2) Soil getting and residue site conditions

In the course of construction, choose hillock, barren and dry land

or other project for soil getting and avoid using farmland as soil

getting site. In plain area, residues can't be discarded into rivers

or on the river banks.

Environmetu Management Program of Newly Built Raihvq of Shoiathuang-Zhengdou Passenger Dedicated Line

Choose low section that occurs fewer water and soil loss as

residue site on the slow slope area, build water permeability dam.

While building dam, discard residue.

(3) Strengthen eco-protection propaganda and education and

formulate award and punishment measures to stimulate

contractors and construction personnel to consciously participate

in eco-protection.

Before commencement, set up propaganda brand of protection of

eco-environment at the site and surrounding and conduct

propaganda and education on environment protection to

contractors. After construction enters into the site, immediately

provide eco-protection education. Propaganda and education

includes scientific and popular knowledge and laws and

regulations related to environment protection.

(4) Management measures such as construction supervision

Take appropriate management measures to get twice the results

with half the effort on eco-protection during construction.

Construction supervision measures are the best management

measures during the construction.

During the whole construction period, full-time persons in

project supervision department and construction department

temporarily act as eco-supervisor in the mode of patrol

supervision to inspect fulfillment of eco-protection measures and

eco-protection acts of construction personnel. Environment

protection bureaus and forest bureaus of counties along the line

will inspect regularly to prevent from denudation.

Noise preventive measures during construction period

According to provisions of Article 27, Article 28, Article 29 and

Environment Management Program of New4 Built Raihvc~y of Sh#azhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

Article 30 of Law of the People's Republic of China on Noise

Pollution Prevention, the construction period of the project should

meet national standards on construction site boundary. Five days

before commencement, name of project, construction site and period,

possible environment noise value and preventive measures taken on

noise pollution should be reported to local administrative

departments of environment protection. In addition, during

construction period, strictly fulfill related countermeasures and

measures; prohibit producing construction operation of environment

noise pollution at night in the sound-environment sensitive building

areas. If operation is required under special circumstances,

certification of people's government above county level or related

competent departments should be presented and announcement on

night operation approved is made to nearby residents.

In combination of actual situations of the project, the following

countermeasures and suggestions are provided for noise

environment impact during construction period.

(1) According to provisions of Noise limits for construction site,

reasonably arrange construction period, try to avoid construction

at night and arrange low-noise construction operation.

Construction machines with higher noises (such as pile driver)

should stop working at night(22:OO-6:OO). Try to conduct

high-noise construction activities when the school is on holidays.

Temporary protection measures should be taken such as

installation of wood sound isolation board, etc. If continuous

construction is required for special needs, approval shall be

obtained from related department and communication should be

made with residents.

(2) Optimize construction plan, reasonably arrange schedule,

minimize harm of construction environment noise. When

bidding and tendering for the construction, include measures to

reduce noise pollution in construction organization design and

specifL this in the contract. Machines with larger noises such as

engine and air compressor should be placed in a remote place

and far from sound environment sensitive points such as

residential areas and schools. If it is difficult to choose

reasonable location, take seal and sound isolation measures and

regular repair machines in accordance with operation procedures.

3. Vibration prevention measures during construction period

Strengthen and manager construction machines with strong vibration

during construction period and prohibits shooting cannon during

infrastructure construction in the large sensitive points and monitors

the nearby buildings.

4. Wastewater treatment measures during construction period

Construction point on the line sections should be in the local villages

or town near to the construction site and with convenient traffic and

sufficient water and power supply. Kitchen wastewater and bathing

wastewater should be discharged into existing discharge facilities.

Domestic wastewater produced from construction site without

discharge facilities should be discharged after treatment in simple

septic tanks according to local situations, landform conditions and

discharge direction.

Control pollution impact fiom construction machines and vehicles

washing by fixing construction machines and vehicle washing points.

It is suggested that construction sections undertaken by construction

unit should be equipped with construction machines and vehicle 32

Environment Management Program of Newly Builr Raihvay of Sh&zhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

washing and maintenance points. In principle, choose the section of

major works to guarantee discharge washing wastewater in to fixed

places.

Machines and vehicles entering the construction site should be

inspected and repaired and avoid "leaking, dripping and emitting".

Construction machines and vehicles should be repaired regularly and

at a fixed point. Wastewater containing oil in the maintenance point

is discharged after separation oil from water. The recovered oil

should be collected for sound treatment.

For large concrete mixing station and prefabrication processing

factory, build sedimentation basin to isolate suspended matter and try

to reuse clean water. Suspended matters deposited should be cleared

out regularly and treated properly.

5 . Waste gas and dust prevention and control measures construction

period

To reduce construction dust, try to green soil getting and soil site and

high slopes, avoid surface soil exposed for long. When construction

vehicles and machines pass the section, frequently spray water to

reduce dust. Transporting vehicles should be covered with tarpaulin

when passing through towns, villages and main traffic road.

Reasonably choose and organize driving route for transporting

vehicles.

Strictly follow construction standards to realize civilized

construction.

For construction site, try to choose low-sulfur high quality coal to

reduce discharge of coal he1 pollutant.

6. Solid waste prevention and control measures during construction

period

Environment Management Pmgram of Newly Built Railway of Shijinthuang-Zhendou Pawewer Dedicated Line

Try to recover and reuse building waste. Remaining waste should be

transported to local construction waste filling site for proper disposal.

Do not pile it at will.

Set environment health facilities such as waste bin and waste tank in

a reasonable, unified, scattered and appropriate way at the

construction site to centrally collect domestic waste and transport

them to local waste and health filling site for disposal. Do not dump

waste at any place to avoid polluting local environment and

influence scene.

7. Mitigation measures of social impact during construction period

(1) Construction pavement

When using existing road for construction, coordinate with local

government first to avoid traffic jam of the existing road,

reasonably arrange construction time to reduce daily work and

living of residents along the line.

Where construction vehicles go and come frequently, set

warning board and no-entry marks; reasonably choose materials

transporting road and transportation road to avoid passing

through regions and villages with populated residents.

(2) Cultural relics protection

Besides training to contractor and technical personnel, provide

cultural relics protection training to construction personnel at

construction site. At the stage of soil and stone construction,

once underground antique is found during the construction,

report to related cultural relics departments promptly for

evaluation of cultural relic department and construction after

treatment.

(3) Public interference

Environment Management Program of Newly Built Raihvay of Shijazhuang-Zhengzltou Passenger Dedicated Line

Ensure railway construction act not to damage public service

facilities along the line and try to repair and recover to the

damage caused.

Each contractor should equip temporary power supply,

communication, water supply and other devices;

Set an advertisement board at the entrance of the construction

site and write down project contractor, construction supervision

unit and hotline telephone and name of contact persons of local

environment protection bureaus so that general mass can contact

related department for disposal of noises, air pollution, traffic

and other adverse impact of the construction.

(4) Health and safety

Conduct knowledge education on diseases control to

construction personnel;

Provide necessary self-protection devices to construction

personnel, such as safety helmet, ear plug and other safety

protection devices;

Take effective protection measures for general mass along the

line. Set fence to prohibit publics passing at the construction site

and other dangerous points.

(5) Construction camp

Prohibit wastewater directly discharging into natural reception

water. Set septic tanks at the construction site and regularly clear

them, ensure to meet national drinking water quality standards.

Regularly collect solid waste of the construction camp and send

them to specified municipal solid waste treatment station for

disposal.

(6) Land use and resettlement

Temporary project land should be recovered first. Specific

recovery measures are shown as follows:

When using cultivation land, peel off 15-30cm mature soil of

the surface for pile and collection. After construction, promptly

clear loosen and cover the cultivation afier construction.

Allocation, use management and supervision of resettlement

funds have strict audit and monitoring programs. Settlement

organizations and independent monitoring organizations at

provincial, city and county levels to provide training to persons

of village management departments, direct them to reasonably

formulate development plans and correctly use settlement funds.

Village management department works out funds use program

and should report to county-level settlement office for

examination and approval. Without feasible funds use program

or consent of county-level settlement office, do not allocate

settlement funds at the moment until formulate reasonable plan.

The provincial settlement office chooses one village as example

every year and monitors and audits the funds use. In addition,

independent monitoring organization monitors settlement funds

use by means of sampling survey, field visit and open interview

with affected population, assesses funds use effect and feed back

monitoring information by consulting through village units to

towns, county and province.

In the course of fragile family house removal, grand certain

funds subsidy. The village provides labor assistance to house

removal to reduce labor population of voluntary, first choose

building site and position of cultivation land for repeated

distribution. Fragile families do not participate in farmland

Environment Management Program of Newly Built Raihuq of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

adjustment within the village after land use to avoid affecting the

normal production projects.

(7) Contractor management

During the construction period, contractor should be always at

the construction site. The contractor takes important

responsibilities in effectively control and reduces environment

impact. Most of designed environment protection measures

should be implemented by the contractor. To ensure environment

protection measures and environment management program

under responsibility of the contractor, the following measures

should be taken:

When certifying qualification of the contractor in the early stage

of the project, bring environment management into qualification

certification clauses. Under the same conditions, first consider

the bidders passing IS09000 and IS014000 certification.

At each construction stage, arrange at least one full-time

professional person responsible for environment supervision,

environment monitoring and implementation of specific

environment protection measures in the course of construction.

When preparing tender document, the employer should include

the environment protection measures and suggestions proposed

in the environment impact report of the project approved into

related clauses so as to know related environment protection

contents and work out related budget when prepare bidding

documents to make implementation of environment protection

measures as obligations and responsibilities of the bid winner.

Before project construction, provide related environment

protection training to the contractor. At each stage, there should

be at least one senior manager and one environment protection

person participates in training provided by experienced

environment protection expert and local law maker. The training

shall be held within 2-3 days before signing the contract,

including:

Related national and local laws and regulations and discharge

standards;

Technical guidance related to environment protection;

Environment Impact Assessment Report and Environment

Management Program of the project;

Specific requirements and monitoring methods at the monitoring

points;

Specific requirements of the monitoring report and feedback of

monitoring information;

Mitigation measures to be taken;

Emergent measures to be taken in case of emergency accident

and dangerous articles;

Conduct long-term public participation and survey and solve

complaints of the public;

Responsibilities of the contractor for environment protection;

In addition, construction monitoring unit takes important

responsibility for environment management and pollution

control. Requirements of construction monitoring unit for

environment management will be included into tender

documents and finally in the contract. At least two persons of the

construction monitoring unit winning the bid (one is senior

manager) will participate training held by above contractor.

Environment Management Pro~ram of Newly Buill Railway of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

3.4 Mitigation measures during the operation period

During the operation period, first hlfill removal and resettlement so

as to keep living standards and economic income of the affected

residents no lower than that before removal and resettlement.

Provide assistance in the course of removal and take related

measures to properly settle and reasonably compensate and provide

a set of complete plan for implementation of project land and

removal. Removal settlement will be adjusted in the local areas for

land use and house removal. Set up railway construction leadership

team along the cities and counties along the line responsible for

coordination and arrangement of land use and house removal.

The assessment suggests that cultivation recovery measures should

be taken for the temporary land for soil getting and spoil site that can

be used for cultivation recovery, which can mitigate impact of

temporary land on basic farmland to some degree. Minimize impact

by adjusting land resources in the region through local government

land department.

Strengthen monitoring and management in the operation period,

prevent from fire and insects and prohibit cutting trees planted on

the sides of the railway. Prohibit damaging grass planting sections

on the roadbed slope and soil getting and spoil site on the railway

site to protect water and soil reservation facilities of the project;

promptly treat geographic diseases along the railway. Slope forest

and grass maintenance is made manually to avoid using herbicide

and avoiding pollution of surrounding environment.

Chapter 5 Environment monitoring program

5.1 Objectives

Environment monitoring is a means to evaluate environment

protection measures. Environment monitoring during the

construction and operation periods can guarantee to effectively fulfill

environment protection measures listed in the environment

assessment of the project. Environment monitoring program includes

four main objectives:

(1) Identify ineffective or unreasonable problems of environment

protection measures earlier

(2) If required, organize workshop to amend environment protection

measures and enable environment measures to meet objectives

of environment monitoring program

(3) Provide working syllabus for environment protection and

monitoring program

(4) Identify scope of environment monitoring projects (construction

and operation, short-term, long-term, assessment parameters,

assessment type and assessment frequencies)

Overall guideline of environment monitoring program: at all the

execution stages of the project, monitor expected impact and monitor

mainly sensitive regions..

5.2 Monitoring parameters during construction and operation

period

Environment monitoring during construction and operation period of

the project includes environment impact on water environment, air

environment, noises, land removal and removal and resettlement,

Environment Management Program of Newly Buik Railway of Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

solid waste, electromagnetic radiation and economic development

induced from railway. Monitoring includes all the direct impact and

indirect impact during the construction and operation period.

Monitoring focuses on the following environment problems

identified in environment assessment: land use and removal and

resettlement, water and soil loss, noise, dust, water quality in rivers,

river deposition, solid waste and electromagnetic radiation.

(1) Land requisition and immigration

Before construction, requisition land for construction of the

railway, and resettle number of removing families. Environment

monitoring and supervision will requisition land after the line

design and try to reduce number of removing persons. Help

immigrants to other regions and provide compensation for

removal. The removing people will accept training to find new

jobs. Environment monitoring will guarantee immigrants to get

reasonable compensation so as to fulfill training plan.

Environment monitoring will give special care to national

minority, the old, the illiterates and farmers.

(2) Soil loss

Soil loss is a major problem in construction. By avoiding bad

geographic region and implementing water and soil loss control

measures, plant grasses on the slopes. At the construction site,

environment monitoring personnel should ensure to use

protection technology to reduce water and soil loss during the

construction and green the exposed land temporarily.

Monitoring includes storage and site clearing technology,

planting, cultivating and littering and correctly using of fertilizer

and water to ensure to rapidly recover vegetation after the

construction. In one year in the trail operation stage, regularly

monitor water and soil loss once every 6 months (or after

rainstorm).

(3) Noises

Noises during the construction stage include noises produced by

large machines, large transporting vehicles and tunnel

demolition blast. Measures to reduce noises include: choose

construction site as far from resident areas as possible, use

high-noise equipment only at daytime, vehicles circumvent

schools, hospitals and resident areas and fewer vehicles drive at

night. During the construction stage, noise should be monitored

and measured near sensitive point once a month to guarantee

noises at night to meet GB12525-90 "Construction Site Noises

Standards" and GB3096-93 "Environment Noises Standards in

Urban Areas". Noises during the operation period are from

training operating (including track noises and bow network

noises). Noise protection measures include installation of sound

isolation windows, building of sound isolation walls and

planting green plants, etc. At the stage of operation, monitor

once after completion of the construction and twice a year

within three years after completion of the project.

Air quality

At the project construction stage, air quality may be reduced.

Dust produced by transporting vehicles and waste gas

discharged from vehicles and machines will result in drop of air

quality. Regularly spray water to the surface of the site, cover

tarpaulin on the trucks when transporting soil and stones and

install standard waste gas discharge control device to machines

and transporting vehicles. At the stage of construction,

environment inspection personnel at the site can monitor air

quality every quarter to ensure to fulfill all the environment

protection measures in the plan.

(5) Water quality

At the stages of construction and operation, discharge of sewage

and wastewater will result in drop of water quality. At the stage 46

Environment Management Program of Newh Buill Raihuay of Shijazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line

of construction, the main problem is pollution caused by sewage

produced by the construction site. Monitor sewage discharge

form the construction camp every quarter, to guarantee water

quality meet farmland irrigation requirements. At the same time,

guarantee wastewater produced form the camp of the

construction personnel to be discharged into irrigation channels.

At the stage of operation, threat to water quality is domestic

wastewater produced from stations. During operation period,

monitor water quality once a year to guarantee water quality to

meet discharged standards of GB8978-96.

(6) River deposition

Sedimentation of rivers and change of riverbed form takes place

in the construction stage of the project, including operation and

enclosure construction in the river. Environment protection

measures include erosion protection of the banks, building

bridges at appropriate locations and strengthening river banks

(including greening). Environment monitoring at the stage of

construction includes selection of bridges approved, and taking

measures to protect banks. Get samples of river water once a

quarter in the construction period to determine content of

suspended solid matters in the river water.

(7) Treatment of solid waste

At the stage of construction, monitor treatment of solid waste,

including collecting waste produced from construction camp in

a sealed container and transport them to local urban waste

collection site for treatment once a month.

Solid waste produced at the operation stage of the project

domestic waste ~roduced bv the station and furnace residues

produced from boilers. Environment monitoring includes

monthly inspection to guarantee living waste produced by the

stations to be collected and the furnace residues to be recycled

for road payment. Station and passenger waste will be

transported to the waste site for treatment.

(8) Electromagnetic radiation

At the stage of operation of the project, monitor electromagnetic

interference after completion of the project to determine whether

or not to take measures to prevent from electromagnetic

radiation.

5.3 Monitoring and supervision report procedures

Monitoring results are submitted to construction headquarter of

Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Passenger Dedicated Line in writing twice

a year (to Beijing Railway Bureau and Zhengzhou Railway Bureau

during operation period) for summary, preparation and custody.

These reports are basis for The State Administration of Environment

Protection, Environment Protection Office of Ministry of Railway

and the World Bank to evaluate performance of environment

protection and environment impact at different stages and increase

environment protection measures required when expectation is

exceeded.
