Executive Summary

1. The Yunnan Sustainable Road Maintenance (Sector) Project (the Project) is located

in Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China. The Yunnan Department of Transport (YPDOT) is the executing agency and the Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB) the implementing agency. The latter manages non-tolled national highways, provincial roads and important county roads in the province. Condition of the network has been deteriorating resulting in a reduced level of service and safety, increased transport costs and environmental degradation.

2. The Project includes four outputs: maintenance of 866.8 km of national, provincial and county roads (Output 1); pilot of performance-based maintenance contracts (Output 2); development of a road asset management system (Output 3); and institutional development to enhance the performance and sustainability of YHAB road maintenance (Output 4). Maintenance activities will be implemented over five years in four Phases. The Project with loan amount of $80 million was approved by ADB on 9 December 2013. The Loan and Project Agreements were signed on 30 May 2014. The loan became effective on 7 August 2014.

3. Currently, only phase III subproject is in implementation. ⚫ Phase I contracts were signed in middle of 2014 and the subproject has been

completed except 2 performance based contracts in maintenance stages; ⚫ Phase II subproject contracts were signed in Dec 2015 and officially started civil

works in Jan 2016; and the subproject was completed and put into operation in first half of 2017;

⚫ Phase III subproject contracts were signed and officially started civil works in Jan~Apr 2017; and the subproject is still in implementation; and

⚫ The Phase IV subproject is under preparation.

4. Phase I ， II and III Safeguards compliance. YHAB and the environmental

monitoring reports (EMRs, included in the project quarterly progress reports through

2014~2017) confirmed that none of the Phase I，II and III – road sections involved

resettlement, environmental or indigenous people impacts and therefore Phase I remains category B while Phases II, III, IV remain category C consistent with the project design. This EMR is mainly to report EMP implementation status of Phase III subproject which was the only subproject under implementation during this reporting period.

5. Phase III subproject is classified as environment Category C since it is likely to have

minimal or no adverse environmental impacts. According to the project IEE and EARF (Environmental Assessment and Review Framework), the ESSU is responsible for environmental monitoring. A summary monitoring checklist was prepared (Appendix 2) and used to verify the implementation of each mitigative and monitoring measure defined in the EMP. In addition, during this monitoring period, field onsite sampling and laboratory testing was undertaken by Yunnan Science and Technology Research Institute of Highways (YSRI), the subordinate of the YHAB, albeit not a third party or nationally accredited environmental testing agency (neither mandatory for Category C project monitoring nor required in the EMP). YSRI designated environmental specialists and professional sampling and testing equipment & instruments for this assignment to provide quantitative construction site environmental status information to some extent.

6. The monitoring results indicate that the IAs of phase III subproject, the constructors and construction supervision companies performed their respective duties in accordance with the EMP. During implementation, environmental mitigation measures were carried out to reduce the impacts of construction on the surrounding environment and people’s health to the minimum as possible. They had minimized the pollution and improved local public transport.

I. Background and Project Progress

1. The Yunnan Sustainable Road Maintenance Project (the Project) is located in Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China. The Yunnan Department of Transport (YPDOT) is the executing agency and the Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB) the implementing agency. The latter manages non-tolled national highways, provincial roads and important county roads in the province. Condition of the network has been deteriorating resulting in a reduced level of service and safety, increased transport costs and environmental degradation.

2. The outcome of the Project will be more sustainable management of the local road network in Yunnan. The project aims to: (i) improve the condition of the YHAB road network; (ii) increase the proportion of the YHAB road network receiving maintenance; (iii) strengthen YHAB’s capacity and operational performance; and, (iv)fill the gap between estimated maintenance needs and available resources.

3. The Project includes four outputs: maintenance of 850 km of national, provincial and county roads (Output 1); pilot of performance-based maintenance contracts (Output 2); development of a road asset management system (Output 3); and institutional development to enhance the performance and sustainability of YHAB road maintenance (Output 4). Maintenance activities will be implemented over five years in four Phases. The Project with loan amount of $80 million was approved by ADB on 9 December 2013. The Loan and Project Agreements were signed on 30 May 2014. The loan became effective on 7 August 2014.

4. The Phase I subproject is classified as environment Category B since there will be limited, generally site-specific impacts that are largely reversible and that can be readily addressed through mitigation measures. An Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) had been prepared for Phase I maintenance works, in accordance with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. Phase I covers 10 road sections, associated with nine subprojects in six prefectures, of a total length of 276 km. Phase I contracts were signed in middle of 2014 and the subproject has been completed except 2 performance based contracts in maintenance stages.

5. Phase II , III and IV subprojects are classified as environment Category C since it

is likely to have minimal or no adverse environmental impacts. The works are confined to maintenance activities within existing RoWs. Much of the work is minor, such as replacement of guard rails, painting of road markings, and repair of potholes. Most roads have sections of pavement replaced and their horizontal alignments raised to reduce flooding. All construction earthwork materials used, including aggregate, quarry rock, concrete, and asphalt are purchased from existing licensed operations located as close as possible to the work areas. No new facilities or access roads are necessary.

6. During Phase II, maintenance is proposed for 4 road sections in 3 prefectures in Yunnan province. The proposed work will be confined to maintenance activities within existing RoWs. Much of the work will be minor, such as replacement of guard rails, painting of road markings, and repair of potholes. Most roads will

have sections of pavement replaced and their horizontal alignments raised to reduce flooding. All construction earthwork materials used, including aggregate, quarry rock, concrete, and asphalt will be purchased from existing licensed operations located as close as possible to the work areas. No new facilities or access roads will be necessary. Phase II subprojects contracts were signed in Dec 2015 and officially started civil works in Jan 2016; and the subproject was completed and put into operation in first half of 2017.

7. During Phase III, maintenance is proposed for 11 road sections in 5 prefectures in Yunnan province. The proposed works will be confined to maintenance activities within existing RoWs. Much of the work will be minor, such as replacement of guard rails, painting of road markings, and repair of potholes. Most roads will have sections of pavement (asphalt concrete) replaced and their horizontal alignments raised to reduce flooding. All construction earthworks materials used, including aggregate, quarry rock, concrete, and asphalt will be purchased from existing licensed operations located as close as possible to the work areas. No new facilities or access roads will be necessary. The implementation of all Phase III subproject contracts were signed and officially started civil works in Jan~Apr 2017 and will be completed by the 2nd quarter of 2018, with maintenance periods of 15 months.

C. Report Period

16. This report, the EMR in 2nd half 2017, focuses on atmosphere, water and acoustic environmental impacts during the construction and various indicators before and during construction are compared.

D. Scope of Environment Monitoring

17. Phase III subprojects is classified as environment Category C since it is likely to have minimal or no adverse environmental impacts. According to the project IEE and EARF (Environmental Assessment and Review Framework), the ESSU is responsible for environmental monitoring. A summary monitoring checklist was prepared (Appendix 2) and used to verify the implementation of each mitigative and monitoring measure defined in the EMP. In addition, during this monitoring period, field onsite sampling and laboratory testing was undertaken by environmental specialists of Yunnan Science and Technology Research Institute of Highways (YSRI), the subordinate of the YHAB, albeit not a third party or nationally accredited environmental testing agency (neither mandatory for Category C project monitoring nor required in the EMP). YSRI designated environmental specialists with professional sampling and testing equipment &instruments for this assignment to provide quantitative construction site environmental status information to some extent. Field onsite sampling and laboratory testing includes: (1) atmosphere environment: within 200m on the two sides of the roads’ centre; (2) noise: within 50m on the two sides of the road center, those nearest to the roads, such as residential areas, buildings, schools, parks, hospitals and other sensitive points; (3) surface water: water quality of the rivers section, nearest to the roads; and (4) ecological environment: the affected land, vegetation, animals and plants along the roads.

III Implementation of EMP

A. Detailed design drawings and bidding documents

18. The construction drawings and design documents contains environmental management. The construction precautions list soil and water conservation, ecological protection, water, dust and noise control, human health and safety and environmental protection during the construction should be paid attention to (see construction drawing designs). EMP is also included in the bidding documents. (see the bidding documents)

B. Institutional Arrangements

19. Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB), the implementing agency (IA), is responsible for organizing, coordinating and supervising the implementation of these two components. The IAs of phase III subproject had been set up in Dali, Wenshan, Baoshan and Yuxi General Sections, under which, the safeguards departments were responsible for supervision and inspection of safety, occupation health, environmental protection on constructors, ensuring smooth road traffic, as well monitoring major hazards and investigating safety accident. The IAs of phase III subproject formulated the implementation plans of environment protection and water and soil conservation, construction safety and traffic management according to approved EMP and SEPP.

C. Construction Supervisors

20. With good testing equipment and strong technical capacities of construction supervision, the CSCs have undertaken all types (I, II, III) of highway project supervision.

21. The organizational chart for supervision of environmental protection, water and soil

conservation are shown as follows. The EHS personnel composes: a. Chief Construction Supervisor is also the chief of Environmental Protection, Water

and Soil Conservation Department. b. The director of the Chief Construction Supervisor Office is also the EHS engineer in

the Environmental Protection, Water and Soil Conservation Department. c. A full-time EHS engineer is set up in each residential office. And d. The subgrade, pavement, traffic engineering and test supervision engineers in the

residential offices are concurrently environmental protection, water and soil conservation engineers, responsible for supervision and compliance of EMP and SEPP within their work scopes.

8

Figure 1 Organizational Chart for Supervision of Environmental Protection, Water

and Soil Conservation

22. Scope of supervision of environmental protection, water and soil conservation covers the areas directly influenced by the two components, including construction sites of main highway works and temporary works, construction camp, construction access road, borrow pit, disposal site, sand quarry, mixing plant, and other existing local roads bearing a large number of haulage.

23. The construction supervisors developed phase III road maintenance supervision plans,

including contract-specific environmental supervision plans, safety supervision plans, and incorporated detailed guidelines for implementation of construction supervision, environmental protection and soil and water conservation into daily supervision work. Part-time environmental protection engineers were designated to be responsible for inspection on possible environmental impacts and soil and water loss, safety issues, on-site and inspection during the process of main construction process, in order to ensure mitigation measures to be well implemented.

D. Implementation status of the mitigation measures

24. Implementation status of the mitigation measures during this reporting period are summarized in the Appendix 1. The implementation status of the mitigation measures are summarized in the last columns of the tables for comparison with the designed mitigation measures stated in the EMP. In summary, the mitigation measures have to date been implemented effectively.

25. Contractors prepared monthly contract-specific construction environmental work reports to record progress with implementation of the EMP. The ESSU undertook quarterly compliance audits of the YHAB and their contractors in evaluating performance against project environmental indicators in the EMP, and submitted quarterly environmental compliance monitoring reports to the YHAB. The Appendix 2 summarizes the ESSU’s quarterly environmental compliance status by checklist for Phase II, III and IV Subproject

Roads (Reporting period: Q3 and Q4 2017, abstract). This semi-annual environmental monitoring report abstracting quarterly environmental compliance audits will be submitted to ADB for uploading on ADB's website after ADB's review and clearance.

26. In accordance with clauses and technical specifications in the construction contracts and

the EMP, corresponding mitigation measures are adopted during construction management. Specific measures are shown as follows (The site photos pls. see the Appendix 3):

i.Water: The construction area does not involve any drinking water source, irrigation water source or other important water body. A little construction waste water was generated, so the impact to the surface water is very minor.

a. The entire construction process does not generate wastewater because the maintenance components were applied with in-situ cold recycling, gradation gravel pavement with warm asphalt, b. On construction sites, no new barrack was built. The phase III subproject IAs, the supervisors and the contractors rented house of local villagers as workplace, with toilet and septic tank. Domestic wastewater and catering wastewater was not directly discharged. c. Equipment maintenance and refueling were undertaken in the fixed places, rather than on the construction sites, which did not permeate into the water body. d. The equipments and vehicles were cleaned up in the vicinity of nearby car washing shops, so the maintenance section did not generate vehicle washing wastewater. e. Drainage ditches were built on both sides of the roads. The construction workers cleaned up the construction waste in a timely manner to ensure smooth drainage.

ii.Air: The impact of the air quality is mainly from smoke, dust and exhaust of

construction machinery and vehicle, etc. Main mitigation measures are shown as below:

a. The constructor was equipped with 7 sprinklers, 4 times a day, and increased to 6 times at construction section near the villages. b. Hauling trucks in bulk materials were covered by canvas as much as possible to reduce the dust during transport. c. A gradation mixing station is located about 1 km away from the construction site, and an asphalt mixing station and a cement mixing station were built together. The asphalt mixing station was equipped with bag dust removing equipments to reduce asphalt smoke emissions. And the cement mixing station was sprayed with a small amount of water in the hopper to reduce dust emissions. No any resident or farmland is located nearby, therefore, the generated dust had little impact to the public.

iii.Noise: Noise pollution at construction stage is mainly caused by the construction

machinery and vehicle hauling activities. The constructor worked from 8:00-18:00 time during daytime, and at night without construction. If at construction section near the villages, construction stopped during 12:00-14:00 to avoid disturbance with the villagers.

iv.Solid waste: During construction period, the earth materials, asphalt, gravel were

piled in the slope less than 5% in the fixed places.

v.Soil erosion. Soil erosion of the component was mainly caused by solid waste, construction waste, leaking oil in case of rain runoff. Main mitigation measures are

10

shown as below: a. Only a small amount of pavement material was used to repair the pavement, so did not need to dispose of solid waste. After in-situ cold recycling, the used asphalt is reused to repair the maintenance section. b. Before daily construction, firstly checking the construction vehicles and machinery status. If any problem, the vehicle was sent to the nearest vehicle repair shop for maintenance. Vehicle was refueled in the refueling station in the vicinity. c. On the construction sites, there was no vehicle maintenance and refueling. d. Renting nearby village houses as a living area and office area, so the garbage generated by the construction workers was collected by the community sanitation department. e. The constructors leased the existing asphalt mixing station, which was set in the abandoned quarries, without any water body or resident nearby. The asphalt spill was also collected and processed in the container. The groundwater was not affected by surface runoff.

vi.Flora and Fauna: Within the scope of construction area, no ancient tree has been

found. The construction sites was limited on the original road, without expansion or no excavation and blasting operations, therefore, it did not affect the roadside farmland and trees.

vii.Health and Safety. Health and safety education is the important content during

construction period. Most construction workers are local villagers. If any illness, they went to local community hospitals for medical treatment. In order to ensure the construction safety and quality, before construction, the constructors conducted safety and skills training for all the staff. Main mitigation measures are shown as below:

a. Worker personal protection. Before construction, all construction workers are trained on use of personal protection equipments. b. At the construction sections, the bulletin boards, safety cones, marking and other warning signs were erected to indicate the project name, project brief introduction, constructors, designers, supervisors, and their telephone numbers. c. Traffic cones were used in the construction area with a designed construction staff in charge of traffic management. d. All workers were provided with protective masks, gloves, safety vest, helmet and protective shoes, etc. On-site construction workers were wearing eye-catching safety vest. e. Renting local village houses as office spaces, equipped with drinking water, life necessities, and clean public toilets. f. Daily supervision and inspection of the construction workers whether safety protection measures were completed, the construction equipments were under normal operation according to standard procedures. Daily or weekly logs of supervision were kept. g. Irregular maintenance on the vehicles and construction machinery. h. Regularly inspecting the cable lines in the construction area to eliminate the safety hazard. And i. Related disease prevention knowledges were frequently posted, such as H7N9 bird flu.

viii.Landscape: The phase III subproject is not within the scope of the scenic area, so

the natural landscape was not significantly impacted. The construction equipment

11

and material was only temporarily stored, will be recovered after completion. Main mitigation measures are shown as below:

a. The village houses were rented as office space and for living. Construction sheds were built along the sides of the road, so the landscape was not affected. b. Rented houses were equipped with garbage pool. The community sanitation management department regularly collected then transported to the landfill for disposal. c. Trucks with bulk materials were covered with canvas in order to keep the vehicle clean and tidy as possible. d. No new path was built to avoid the destruction of land or vegetation. e. Mixing station and material yard were leased with local existing equipment and facilities, and will be recovered after completion. And

ix.Cultural Heritage: No any cultural heritage was found within the scope of at a radius

of 25 km around the construction sites.

E. Analysis of Environmental Monitoring Results

27. During this monitoring period, field onsite sampling and laboratory testing was undertaken by Yunnan Science and Technology Research Institute of Highways (YSRI), the subordinate of the YHAB, albeit not a third party or nationally accredited environmental testing agency (neither mandatory for Category C project monitoring nor required in the EMP). YSRI designated environmental specialists with professional sampling and testing equipment &instruments for this assignment to provide quantitative construction site environmental status information to some extent.

28. Water quality monitoring: Phase III subproject road maintenance involve only one river (Chi’na River), while the other maintenance sections do not involve any river, reservoir or any other surface water body. Chi’na River should meet the Class III standards of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838-2002, see Table 2). YSRI conducted on-site sampling and monitoring on Chi’na River. The monitoring results are indicated as follows (see Table 3).

The monitoring results of the above river show its water quality can meet the classes III of Surface Water Environmental Quality Standards (GB3838-2002). At the same time, it also shows that the water quality during construction of the phase III subproject is no worse than that pre-construction.

30. Air quality monitoring. The main pollutants in the construction period are dust and

asphalt. Along the road, the Class II standard in the Ambient Air Quality Standard "(GB3095 - 2012) should be complied with, as shown in Table 4. YSRI undertook on-site air quality monitoring. The results are as follows (see Table 5).

31. Evaluation of air quality monitoring results. The atmospheric impact scope is mainly focused within the 50m near both sides of the RoWs. The construction (road maintenance) period lasted short with very limited impact. From the above data, the air monitoring indicators, PM10, NO2 and SO2, before construction and construction period,

15

had little change and both were better than Class II standard in the Ambient Air Quality Standard "(GB3095 - 2012). It shows that the construction activity has no serious influence on the surrounding air quality after taking effective mitigation measures, such as timely sprinkling water to suppress dust.

32. Noise monitoring: The construction noise has a certain effect on the sound

environment quality, which is mainly caused by the construction machinery and vehicles.

33. For phase III Subproject, the Class 4a standard in the Standards for Acoustic Environmental Quality (GB3096-2008) (see Table 6) should be complied with. During construction phase, Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of

Construction Site（GB12523-2011(see Table 7) is applicable. The main noise source

during the construction period sees Table 8, and the noise monitoring results are shown in Table 9.

34. Evaluation of noise monitoring results. 24 representative monitoring points were set along the phase III subproject. The main noise source during construction period is social traffic noise and construction machinery noise. Because construction is prohibited at night, construction machinery noise has little effect on the surrounding residents. All the monitoring result meets national standards.

F. Institutional Capacity Building and Training

35. To strengthen the implementation of the project, an ADB loan PMO was established in the Maintenance Department under YHAB. During the project implementation, the PMO is in charge of overall supervision on technical, quality, environmental, social and safety aspects, and responsible for implementing the environmental protection requirements in the approved EMP, and supervising the contractor's daily environmental mitigation and monitoring and preparing quarterly progress reports.

36. The PMO was led by the deputy director (a senior engineer) of Maintenance Department

under YHAB, and designated a full-time senior engineer and other environmental, social, and safety experts. The Department is responsible for coordination and supervision among the IA, the constructors the CSCs, and supervision and inspection of environmental mitigation measures in the EMP.

37. The PMO, the phase III subproject IAs, CSCs, and the constructors assigned EHS staffs.

38. Before construction, the PMO, the constructors, CSCs, and the relevant departments undertook the relevant training on environmental management plan and road safety.

39. In order for implement the mitigation measures and environmental monitoring, before

entering construction sites and during construction period, ADB's environmental experts/loan implementation environmental consultant/YHAB/phase III subproject IAs provided training related to environmental protection to the CSCs and constructors. The training was mainly focused on implement the mitigation measures and environmental monitoring. Training activities were held in the onsite project management office meeting room. Training activities include the following aspects:

a. Understanding and application of internationally accepted environmental management practices.

b. Compliance monitoring method, required equipment and methods. c. Compliance monitoring information analysis. d. Environmental safeguards enforcement methods and measures. e. Training contents include case studies and field trips.

19

IV. Public Consultation, Information Disclosure and Grievance Redress

Mechanism

A. Public Consultation, Information Disclosure

40. During Jul. to Dec. 2017, YSRI carried out two rounds of public opinion survey to the public along the phase III subproject. The below questions asked are as follows: (i) Do you think there is any impact of the noise and dust generated during construction on your production and life? (ii) During the construction period, is there any influence on your trip due to traffic control? (iii) Any impact on your farmland and crops during the construction period? (iv)How do you think the constructors to take measures to mitigate environmental pollution? (v) Should overloading vehicles be controlled?

41. A total of 146 villagers/residents alongside the along the phase III subproject were

consulted, including 43 women or 36 ethnic minorities, as shown in the below Table 10. The main feedback is as follows:

a) The residents expressed support for the maintenance program and hoped that good road conditions could give their jobs, more conveniences, and more opportunities to improve the quality of life.

b) The residents hoped to repair the road as soon as possible, and the poor road conditions lasted for many years and have brought a lot of adverse effects to their work and life, such as rainy days and dust.

c) It is desirable to have the opportunity to participate in construction activities or to provide other services to increase economic income.

d) The respondents thought that pollution was minor during the construction period, and the duration was short and acceptable.

e) Hoped to help solve some practical problems (such as drainage, safety, etc.). All the above comments and recommendations (especially for the above (e)) have been passed to YHAB/IAs/contractors.

V. Conclusions and Suggestions

46. During construction, the phase III subproject IAs, the constructors and CSCs had taken the corresponding environmental impact mitigation measures in the EMP. The construction noise, dust and wastewater, and other impacts on the surrounding environment were reduced to a minimum.

47. Through field inspection, the constructors strengthened environmental protection, water

conservation, safety and other aspects according to relevant national environmental protection laws and regulations, ADB's SPS (2009) and the EMP. No land acquisition, demolition, road widening, occupation of farmland and other resettlement issue were identified. The environmental impacts of the component during the construction period were limited, and the construction period was short. With the completion of the component, the pollution will be eliminated in time, and the environment will revert to the state better than the original. From the point of view of the whole process of construction, the constructors strictly abided by the provisions, actively took mitigation measures to reduce pollution. So it obtained the strong support of the local community and the village. Through carrying out public consultation, the local residents were satisfied with the Project. During this period, no any pollution complaint did occur.

48. Suggestions: (i) Local villagers were hired, and their mobility was frequent. To address their

potential safety issue, it is recommended that safety and environmental protection awareness education should be carried out to improve safety and environmental awareness of the villagers and construction workers then to reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage. And (ii) More frequently watering at the sections nearby the villages and towns is recommended to reduce dust from construction.
