Generally satisfactory. LJEP and its

subsidiaries all belong in national

encouraged categories. The localities of

LJEP’s WWTPs are sufficiently separated

form water sources, natural reserves,

residential blocks, and other sensitive

areas.

LJEP has so far been rarely engaged in the

Generally satisfactory. Sludge is normally

dehydrated to certain extent and sent to

landfill or just dumped within the WWTP

compound (e.g. Harbin Wenchang

WWTP).

Sludge dumping to landfill is facing more

and more restrictive conditions. A sludge

including all its sewage disposal plant and water plant. The monitor system works 24 hours a

day so that LJEP's QEMS can respond to over target value to prevent direct or indirect damage

on environment. This set of complete monitor system meanwhile provides complete monitor

data to provide a sound platform environment performance inspection for LJEP within the

report period. Besides, each sewage disposal plant is equipped with professional assay

equipment. The following table lists major environment indicator of all sewage disposal plants

and water plants. The monitor data shows that all sewage disposal plants and water plants of

LJEP meets related standard requirements. Within the report period, there is no over target

29. During the report period, the monitoring of the construction activities of Long Jiang

Environment Protection Group Share Company was conducted by the monitoring

station of the local government department. Owing to the perfect environmental

management of the Group, the construction activities fully satisfied the monitoring

requirements of government departments. In Table 8 and Table 9 are data related to

environmental performance during the wastewater treatment plant construction period.

Because of similar characteristics and environment backgrounds, the selection of

monitoring data is typical and representative, with monitoring points in the downstream

and downwind direction of the construction site, with environmental quality data

collected, indirectly reflecting the impact of construction activities. Obviously, the

water quality is very good, showing the water produced at the construction site has no

significant effect on water quality.

30. Generally speaking, Long Jiang Environment Protection Group Share Company has

obtained outstanding environmental and social achievements in the operation and

service of water supply and wastewater treatment, with no records of social complaints

caused by major environmental problems. The wastewater treatment plants of Long

Jiang Environment Protection have improved the prevention and control of water

pollution in the Songhua River Basin. According to the information of Heilongjiang

environmental protection departments, the wastewater treatment rate has exceeded 82%

in the cities in the Songhua River Basin. Relevant statistics from the Report on the State

of the Environment in China 1 shows that the water quality of the Songhua River has

improved a lot. Of all national monitoring sections belonging to the Songhua River

Basin, Categories I- III water bodies 2 have increased from 33.8% in 2008 to 45.2% ,

Categories VI-V water bodies have decreased from 45.2% to 40.5%, and bad Category

V water bodies remain unchanged, still occupying 14.3%. In 2013, the overall water

quality of the rivers across Heilongjiang Province was slight pollution, with a

compliance rate of 60.0%, with Categories I- III water bodies occupying 53.3%, bad

Category V water bodies occupying 5.7%, down 3% from a year earlier. The

compliance rate of lakes and reservoirs points in the whole province was 57.6%. To a

certain extent, these achievements are attributed to Long Jiang Environment Protection

and its subordinate wastewater treatment plants. The figure below shows the water

quality improvement from 2008 to 2011 and the water quality of the Songhua River in

20133. By the report period, the report on the state of the environment in 2014 hadn’t

been-released. 3

A.4 Emerging Environmental and Social Issues

31. LJEP has rapidly enlarged its market share in terms of water supply, sewage disposal,

sludge disposal and use. With rapid expansion, some new environmental and social

issues are emerging, which include:

(i) By 2015, urban wastewater treatment plants across China will produce about

33.59 million tons of wet sludge (80% water content) annually, but

sludge-related problems haven’t been solved properly, the with a lot of

untreated sludge placed in the open air, not only occupying land, but also

causing secondary pollution of water bodies and atmosphere, becoming a

heavy burden on wastewater treatment plants. During the report period, the

Ministry of Environmental Protection released the 2012 National Total Major

Pollutant Emission Reduction Verification and Penalty. Harbin Wenchang

Wastewater Treatment Plant and Taiping Wastewater Treatment Plant were

order to make rectification within the prescribed period for not having treated

sludge properly. The specific cause for the above issue is: at first,

incineration-based power generation treatment process was adopted for a

sludge treatment project, with Heilongjiang New Century Energy Co., Ltd as

the legal person of the project. Due to the involvement of some policies, the

feasibility study and preliminary design of the project were not approved by

Heilongjiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission, making it

impossible to commence construction of the project, resulting in the

accumulation of some sludge in the plant over the years. Later, through

Page 45: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

41

coordination, the legal person of the project was changed to Long Jiang

Environment Protection Group Share Company. Long Jiang Environment

Protection Group Share Company accepted the mission at the critical moment

and put forward the adoption of thermophilic aerobic trough fermentation

composting technology for the sludge treatment project, and Heilongjiang

Environmental Protection Department and Heilongjiang Provincial

Development and Reform Commission approved the feasibility study and

preliminary design of the project. Long Jiang Environment Protection was

actively involved in the construction operation of the project and conducted

solidification treatment of the original sludge. Later, the personnel from the

National Evaluation Center visited the construction site of the project and

affirmed the process program for realizing the utilization of sludge resources

by adopting thermophilic aerobic fermentation composting technology to

treat sludge but put forward opinions on correcting the treatment method for

the original sludge stacked at the site. On-site construction required

adjustment of the construction method, resulting in the delay in treatment the

original sludge. Afterwards, Long Jiang Environment Protection Group Share

Company conducted repeated revision and adequate argumentation and

suggested that the original sludge stacked in the plant should be removed

after stabilization treatment and it should not be used for foundation any more.

The revised application material of the project was again submitted to the

National Evaluation Center, with specific detailed information in Appendix 5.

During the report period, the sludge treatment project of Harbin Wastewater

Treatment Plant was officially resumed in April 2014 and entered the civil

works closure and equipment installation stage; all equipment installation

was completed and bacterial culture and sludge acclimation started in the

leaching tank at the intermediate stage; the trial production of

plate-and-frame filter press began, and the trial production of sludge

fermentation was completed, smoothly passing the environmental protection

acceptance by Heilongjiang Environmental Protection Department in October

2014 and beginning to enter the completion acceptance and formal

production stage.

(ii) In most cases, the construction of wastewater collection pipeline networks

lags behind the construction of wastewater treatment plants, causing the lack

of wastewater collection pipeline. Due to insufficient inlet water amount, the

actual treatment capacity of Pingfang Wastewater Treatment Plant under

Long Jiang Environment Protection has been restricted. Though the main

body of pipeline network construction is generally borne by the government,

in order to avoid and try to reduce such problems as much as possible, Long

Jiang Environment Protection should conduct full communication concerning

such water amount problems with the government and design units at the

early construction stage and obtain the confirmation of development and

reform departments.

Page 46: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

42

(iii) It needs to be noted that due to the urban expansion and drainage pipeline

network improvement in the provincial capital city of Harbin, the amount of

domestic sewage has increased in recent years. This year, Taiping and

Wenchang wastewater treatment plants have seen overloads of high frequency.

As a combined rainwater and sewage system is currently used in the city, in

case of excessive precipitation, "Sewage Overflow" will occur. For this, Long

Jiang Environment Protection will submit timely and truthful reports on such

problems to the Environmental Protection Bureau to explain the situation.

(iv) Moreover, Long Jiang Environment Protection may encounter land

acquisition (usually temporary land acquisition) problems and relevant

resettlement problems in future collection pipeline network construction. As

stated in Table 2, on Jan.21st, 2011, the State Council promulgated the

Regulation on the Expropriation of Buildings on State-owned Land and

Compensation to regulate building demolition and relevant compensation.

This regulation has replaced the original urban house demolition management

regulation, and this new regulation stresses the government's management

obligation of house expropriation persons and has increased resettlement

requirements. Actually, Long Jiang Environment Protection, as an enterprise,

basically involves no house demolition and compensation issues; but it still

should establish a fully functional and appropriate mechanism to deal with

the resettlement issues that may occur during construction or pipeline laying

in the subprojects of Long Jiang Environment Protection.

(v) Considering Long Jiang Environment Protection's different modes for

obtaining, constructing and operating subprojects, it is necessary to determine

the duties, obligations, tasks and targets of Long Jiang Environment

Protection and its subprojects in terms of social issues. In addition, Long

Jiang Environment Protection needs to develop a set of initiative and

effective communication methods to allow its work in social aspect to dock

with government departments and fulfill its social benefit-related

commitments.

B Compliance with ADB Safeguards Requirements

31. To satisfy ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) of 2009, LJEP put into effect a

tailored ESMS for its relevant subprojects/activities through the help of ADB’s experts.

One of the main purposes of the ESMS is to fill the gaps possibly existing between the

country requirements and ADB’s policies. In general, these gaps mostly lie in social

policies and associated institutional requirements. For example, in the established ESMS

detailed frameworks for involuntary resettlement and indigenous people are proposed to

address land acquisition and associated house demolition and relocation, compensation for

land loss, protection of affected ethnic minority groups, grievance redressing, and so on.

While in the country system, relevant responsibilities are required by respective laws and

other mandatory rules and not integrated. The most prominent gap could be the difference

Page 47: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

43

in requirements for transparent information disclosure and stakeholder engagement. In this

regard, ADB is more demanding.

32. In the reporting period, LJEP did not handle any involuntary resettlement issues and

was never confronted with indigenous people grievance. As pointed out in ADB’s

environmental and social safeguards compliance audit report, LJEP primarily relies on the

local government to undertake land acquisition and resettlement as this is done even before

a particular concession is brought up for bidding. LJEP plays a very limited role in land

acquisition and resettlement. The local governments also promised LJEP would enjoy the

same entitlement and arrangement as prior practices in land acquisition and resettlement

for its future subprojects. With respect to the indigenous people protection, since all

LJEP’s subprojects are located in remote suburbs where local inhabitants are sparsely

distributed and ethnic minority people, if any, mix with Han, the majority nationality,

LJEP’s activities can hardly affect the ethnic people.

33. During the report period, Acheng Phase II, Mudanjiang Phase II and the Sludge

Project have undergone social audit, with the results indicating that the land acquisition,

compensation and fund allocation of the three projects have been conducted in accordance

with the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China and relevant rules of

Heilongjiang Province and that all affected families were very satisfied. Providing various

compensation and benefits for all affected families and people comply with the clause

about non-voluntary immigration in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement. The

implementation of all mitigation measures is consistent with the requirements for

non-voluntary immigration in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, with no violation of any

clauses. During the project preparation and implementation stage, a number of activities

with public involvement have been held to understand the issues that the affected people

were concerned about, such as quantity goods investigation, compensation standards and

distribution of compensation fees. The complaining channels intended for migrants are

clear and effective and all migrants are aware of such channels. All the three subprojects

have no effect on ethnic minorities and have no connection with the provisions about

aboriginal people stipulated in the Safeguard Policy Statement.

34. According to the agreements between local governments and LJEP, for all

subprojects under LJEP, either acquired through particular concession, or constructed from

the beginning, land acquisition and resettlement should be undertaken by governmental

agency or government commissioned corporation and all the lands permanently or

temporarily needed should be appropriated or sold to LJEP by local governments. For the

subproject already acquired, the governmental agency should continue to take charge of

successive formalities related to resettlement. As the instance of Harbin Xinyi WWTP

financed by ADB’s public loan, Harbin Urban Inland Water Construction & Development

Co., Ltd. (HUIWCDC) has been handling the resettlement, earlier preparation, and

construction management, whenever prior to or after transferring to LJEP. Even with

respect to implementation and monitoring of EMP and RP, HUIWCDC is still engaged in

Page 48: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

44

everything related and responsible to report to ADB.

35. As for future expansion and development, the LJEP will remain the same approach

with the previous land acquisition. On the other hand, pursuant with the newly enacted

Regulation on the Expropriation of Buildings on State-owned Land and Compensation, the

people’ government at municipal (or county) level and their authorized EA shall be

responsible for the land acquisition, immigration and related compensation caused by

public services (including environmental protection and resources maintenance). This

mandatory command further explains the reasonable arrangements for LJEP not to directly

take charge of land acquisition. However, it is expected the LJEP may also directly involve

the land acquisition and resettlement when the extended pipeline network (especially part

of pipe network that is not under the public road) is carried out in the future.。During the

report period, Phase II of Mudanjiang Wastewater Treatment Plant was in the construction

commencement period. The local Land Resources Bureau announced the Notice on

Examining and Approving the Implementation Program for Conversion of Agricultural

Land to Another Use and Land Acquisition for Urban Construction of Issue 8, 2009 in

Mudanjiang released by Heilongjiang Provincial People’s Government in December, 2011

and put up a land acquisition notice at the construction site.

36. Taking an overview of LJEP’s environmental and social performance, it can be

confirmed that there is no phenomenon noncompliant with ADB’s safeguard requirements.

If to be more stringent, people may complain LJEP’s information disclosure and

stakeholder engagement are not so sufficient. That means there is room for LJEP to

improve its transparency and communication with communities in accordance with ADB’s

Public Communication Policy.

IV PROGRESS OF ONGOING SUBPROJECTS/ACTIVITIES

37. On Oct.15th, 2013, the construction of Mudanjiang Wastewater Treatment Plant

Phase II commenced, marking the further improvement on Mudanjiang's urban

infrastructure and urban environment and further implementation of the emission reduction

task, of great importance for the ecological environment construction and sustainable

development of Mudanjiang. During the report period, this project saw water passing on

Oct.30th, 2014 and is currently at the water passing and debugging stage.

38. On July 10th, 2014, Long Jiang Environment Protection won the bid for Phases I

and II of Shuangyashan Wastewater Treatment Plant, of which Shuangyashan Phase I was

formally handed over on Oct. 1st, 2014 and put into operation on Nov. 25th, complying

with the discharge standard, and Shuangyashan Phase II saw construction commencement

on Oct. 1st and plans to be put into operation by the end of October 2015.

39. Harbin Hulan Old Town Wastewater Treatment Plant was formally handed over on

Page 49: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

45

April 16th, 2013, an entrusted operation agreement was signed in November 2014, and in

April 2014, it formally began commercial trial operation.

40. During the report period, the construction of Long Jiang Environmental Protection

Sludge Treatment Plant was completed, becoming the first large-scale sludge treatment

plant in Heilongjiang Province. The commissioning of the project was approved by

Heilongjiang Environmental Supervision Bureau on December 12th, 2013, during which

the emission of pollutants was strictly controlled to prevent the occurrence of

environmental pollution incidents. The sludge treatment project of Harbin Wastewater

Treatment Plant was officially resumed in April 2014 and entered the civil works closure

and equipment installation stage; all equipment installation was completed and bacterial

culture and sludge acclimation started in the leaching tank at the intermediate stage in

August; the trial production of plate-and-frame filter press began in September, and the

trial production of sludge fermentation was completed in October, smoothly passing the

environmental protection acceptance by Heilongjiang Environmental Protection

Department in October 2014 and beginning to enter the completion acceptance and formal

production stage.

V Summary of safety performance and corrective action

41. In 2013, the State Council issued the Notice of the General Office of the State

Council on Forwarding the Measures of the Ministry of Environmental Protection for the

Assessment of Reduction of the Total Emission of Major Pollutants during the “Twelfth

Five-Year Plan” Period (Guobanfa 2013 No. 4). In order to carry out the spirit of the

document and realize the target for the reduction of the total emission of major pollutants

during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, Long Jiang Environment Protection Group

Share Company has carefully made its self-monitoring plan, established a system for

monitoring the reduction of the total emission of major pollutants and constantly improved

the system. Long Jiang Environment Protection Group Share Company conducts daily

monitoring of chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen, conducts monitoring of

other pollutants in the wastewater at least once a month; conducts monitoring of sulphur

dioxide and nitrogen oxides at least once a week, conducts monitoring of particles at least

once a month; conducts monitoring of other pollutants in the waste gas at least once per

quarter; conducts monitoring of noise at boundary at least once per quarter. The Group has

established and perfected a monitoring work system and a quality management system,

organizes employees’ participation in monitoring technology training so that they can work

after obtaining required certificates and conducts real-time monitoring data update to

ensure the authenticity and accuracy of monitoring data. The Group has finished preparing

the annual report on conducting annual self-monitoring during the report period and

submitted it to the competent environmental protection department in charge of record

filing.

42. As set forth under the list of main environmental and social laws (or regulations) in

Page 50: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

46

Table 2, the LJEP and its subsidiary plants are in full compliance with provisions of the

Labor Law, Labor Contract Law, Law on the Protection of Women’s Rights and Interests

and other laws and regulations as well as related security and occupational health

requirements. During the report period, all subprojects are fully compliance with

above-mentioned provisions, and no significant safety and health event occurs.

43. Long Jiang Environment Protection gives priority to the employment of local

workforce and encourages construction project contractors to employ workers from local

communities. Wenchang Sludge Subproject construction has offered more than 800 job

opportunities, Mudanjiang Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Phase II construction has

offered more than 1000 job opportunities, Acheng Wastewater Project Phase II

construction has offered more than 600 job opportunities and Heihe Sludge Project has

offered more than 400 job opportunities.

44. The Trade Union holds staff meetings every year to discuss salaries, benefits,

administrative regulations and other staff-related affairs and offer suggestions to the

management of Long Jiang Environment Protection.

45. During the reporting period, Long Jiang Environmental Protection hire a total of 187

new employees. Despite being limited by the industry, Long Jiang Environmental

Protection still provided employment opportunities and equal treatment to the female

employees as far as possible, and made contribution to promote employment rate, where

the project is located.

46. During the report period, there were 2180 employees (1578 male employees and 602

female employees) in Long Jiang Environment Protection Group Share Company and the

plants under it, including professional management personnel, engineers, technicians,

manpower analysts, mechanics, operators, electrical engineers, drivers, cleaners,

entrance guards and other posts that provide rear service support. Long Jiang Environment

Protection Group Share Company encourages contractors to offer equal employment

opportunities to female employees and is willing to cooperate with contractors without sex

discrimination. Wenchang Wastewater Treatment Plant and Phase II of Mudanjiang

Wastewater Treatment Plant will create a total of 55 jobs, at least 20% of which will be

offered to females. All employees have signed a labor contract and enjoy relevant rights

and benefits. Long Jiang Environment Protection Group Share Company provides its

employees with all legal rights and interests, including salaries, health subsidies for sewer

workers, old-age insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, housing

allowance, maternity insurance, work injury insurance and other welfare (such as work

clothes, individual protective articles and free lunch). As for the employees exposed to a

harmful environment for a long time, subsidies occupy 15% of their salaries.

47. Anchored to General Principles for Requirements of Safety and Health in

Page 51: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

47

Production Process (GB/T12801-2008), Hygiene Design Codes for Industrial Enterprises

(TJ36-79), Technical Specification for Operation, Maintenance and Safety of Municipal

Wastewater Treatment Plant (CJJ 60-94), and other applicable standards related to safety

and health management, LJEP set up a Safety Management Institution (SMI) which covers

every position to regulate the procedures, processes, and activities for ensuring compliance

with all the legislative and other mandatory safety requirements. SMI explicitly defines the

organizational and responsibility aspects of the safety management; and regulates

implementation of safety education and training program, safety inspection, accident

prevention and aftermath treatment mechanism, contingency plan, rewards and

punishment. Through overall screening and identification of key factors potentially

impairing safety performance, SMI specially focuses on overflow, accidental release of

pollutants, fire, flood, equipment breakdown, pipeline crack, power outage, driving

accident, among others. Based on SMI, technical and management measures for securing

safety and health dimensions are readily in place. In a word, good institution,

conscientiousness, due diligence, and vigorous implementation, all together guaranteed

excellent safety performance of LJEP in the reporting period.

48. In order to strengthen management, supervision and implementation, Long Jiang

Environment Protection Group Share Company has established safety and health

management teams at all levels and has always implemented environmental and social

management systems, safe and health training plans every year. The Group has established

an internal corresponding training system, with each department submitting a training plan

based on the actual work needs, the Human Resources Management Department

responsible for organizing corresponding training, with training content including

professional training, management training, general skill training and weekly corporate

culture training for employees. The Group has provided induction training for 187 new

employees; 5 sessions of environmental management training courses, with 1756

persons-time involved; 4 sessions of safe production training, with 1977 persons-time

involved; safety standardization creation training, with 1245 persons-time involved;

refined management training, with 1311 persons-time involved; drivers’ safe driving

education training, with 1214 persons-time involved; wastewater series production process

knowledge popularization training, with 2123 persons-time involved; 11 sessions of

vocational education courses training, with 3087 persons-time involved; industrial

development trend and industrial policy research training, with 1745 persons-time

involved, management mode and operation mechanism construction innovation training,

with 1723 persons-time involved, operation thoughts and innovative awareness training,

with 2355 persons-time involved; high-performance team construction, comprehensive

communication ability improvement and high-performance executive capacity training,

with 3045 persons-time involved and target management and self-management courses

training, with 3068 persons-time involved. All these trainings have produced very positive

effects and significantly improved the Group’s environmental and health capacity

construction.

49. Long Jiang Environment Protection Group Share Company has its procedure guide

Page 52: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

48

and requirement standards, all of which have been clearly archived. Administrative

personnel provide occupational training and situation description immediately after a new

employee is recruited. Through group discussion and the learning activity, employees can

receive further training. On Sep. 23th, 2014, the employees in the Environmental and

Social Management Department received relevant ability construction training, with the

training topics covering the following several aspects:

i. ADB’s social security policy and procedure;

ii. Steps for land acquisition and resettlement audit;

iii. Domestic laws and regulations about social security guarantee;

iv. Guide for the latest national social impact assessment;

v. Implementation and monitoring of the environmental and social management system

vi. International success experience in resettlement

50. As the project owner/proponent, LJEP fulfilled construction safety and health

management mainly through specific agreement with the construction contractor. The

project management center took charge of daily superintendence of construction safety and

health. Construction contractors were required to act following national and local

safety/health mandatory rules, and make every effort to avoid work injury and casualties

during construction. Moreover, the contractor had to guarantee that the laborers (including

farmer-turned-workers) would have timely payment commensurate to their workloads and

enjoy necessary social insurance, medical care, personal safety gadgets, appropriate

sanitation, and suitable accommodation. LJEP’s project center, together with governmental

authorities, supervised and undertook due diligence on the performance of the contractor

in terms of construction safety and health.

51. LJEP and its subsidiaries have also maintained a good record of safety and

occupational health, but there are still areas that need to be improved. For example, the

annual medical examination should not only cover senior management staff and new

employees, but should extend to in-service staff, especially those in the harsh conditions.

LJEP will expand its health plans and increase the budget so as to benefit all employees.

Another proposal is to arrange for a safety and health training. For employees who are

exposed to hazardous substances and environmental risk, it is very important that LJEP

must ensure that each employee's health, and fully understand the safety and health threats

that may be encountered, as well as special programs to deal with such emergencies.

Therefore, LJEP should strengthen its training programs to improve the safety and health

awareness of employees, so that employees may be aware of the methods and

requirements to respond to emergencies or potential threat. All employees, whether new or

veteran, are recommended to receive at least once specific safety and health education or

training.

VI Important Events

52. In 2014, through level-by-level recommendation, online voting and expert review, Piao

Yongjian, Vice Chairman and President of the Group, passes level-by-level selection and

won the "China Water Industry Figure" Management and Industrial Contribution Award.

"China Water Industry Figure" selection activities are jointly sponsored by China Civil

Engineering Society, the University Water Supply and Drainage Science and Engineering

Discipline Professional Guidance Committee, China Architectural Society Water Supply

and Wastewater Branch and China National Water Supply and Drainage Information

Network, and organized by the Water Supply and Drainage Journal Publishing House, with

the aim to commend the people from all walks of life who have made outstanding

contributions to China's water supply and drainage industry.

53. The sludge disposal engineering of wastewater treatment plants of Long Jiang

Environment Protection Group Share Company is a national planned project for water

pollution control of the Songhua River Basin during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period.

The project started in 2010, with thermophilic aerobic fermentation process adopted, a

treatment scale of 1000m3 per day. The project was officially resumed in April 2014 and

entered the civil works closure and equipment installation stage; all equipment installation

was completed and bacterial culture and sludge acclimation started in the leaching tank at

the intermediate stage in August; the trial production of plate-and-frame filter press began

in September, and the trial production of sludge fermentation was completed in October,

smoothly passing the environmental protection acceptance by Heilongjiang Environmental

Protection Department in October 2014 and beginning to enter the completion acceptance

and formal production stage.

54. Mudanjiang Project Phase II was a key project of Long Jiang Environment Protection in

2014, and aroused widespread concern of the leaders of Long Jiang Environment

Protection after its formal construction commencement on April 18th. The president held a

number of meetings to listen to reports and coordinated the project in person. The

Engineering Management Department of Long Jiang Environment Protection arranged for

the main force to take overall responsibility for engineering construction work at the

frontline. Main leaders resided at the frontline of the project for command for a long time

and Vice President Yu Xibo visited the site for inspection and guidance a number of times.

The Engineering Construction Headquarter overcame numerous difficulties such as short

construction duration, heavy tasks and equipment' failure to arrive at the site due to long

equipment order cycle, striving to complete the project waster passing target set by the

government by Sept.26th. Through the efforts of each relevant department, the project has

met all the construction targets required for commercial operation starting from Jan. 1st,

2015

55. Acheng Wastewater Project Phase II commenced construction in March 2014 and

completed the water passing target in Dec.1st, fulfilling the Group's commitment to the

Page 54: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd

50

government. At the same time, with the production and operation in Phase I as the main

line, numerous difficulties were overcome and every effort was made to advance the

construction of Phase II and now the handling of the Planning Permit for Phase II

Expansion Project and reporting on construction work to the construction bureau have

been completed, laying a solid foundation for handling various procedures for the

construction involved in Phase II.

56. In October 2014, Shuangyashan Wastewater Treatment Plant formally began TOT

mode-based M&A operation by Long Jiang Environment Protection. At the early M&A

period, the plant suffered such problems as excessive personnel, loose management,

obsolete equipment, mostly in a state of paralysis and effluent quality seriously exceeding

the standard limits. Under the care and support of the leaders of Long Jiang Environment

Protection and the assistance of various departments, the plant's production and operation

was back on track in a mere of two months. During which, no employees had a day off

work, proving the employee team of the plant is a team good at overcoming difficulties

and getting success. By the end of November, the plant saw normal operation of all

equipment, normal transmission of on-line instruments and monitoring systems and

effluent quality meeting the Class 1 B discharge standard in a mere of two months, highly

recognized by relevant departments of the local government, construction bureau and

environmental protection bureau, not only earning a good reputation for Long Jiang

Environment Protection but also laying a solid foundation for the investment and operation

of Long Jiang Environment Protection in Shuangyashan area.

57. In March 2014, at the 30th meeting of the first session of the Board of Direction and the

first provisional shareholders' meeting in 2014, a resolution was passed that Zhanya

International Co., Ltd. controlled by SIIC Environment will acquire the stock equity of 4

small shareholders. On April 25th, 2014, FIPB approved the acquisition of 4 small

shareholders of Long Jiang Environment Protection by Zhanya International Co., Ltd.,

which officially became one of the shareholders of Long Jiang Environment Protection. In

August 2014, at the 38th meeting of the first session of the Board of Direction and the

third provisional shareholders' meeting in 2014, a resolution was passed that Jinyi

Investment Co., Ltd. controlled by SIIC Environment will acquire the stock equity held by

ADB. On October 30th, 2014, FIPB approved the acquisition of the stock equity held by

ADB by Jinyi Investment Co., Ltd., which officially became one of the shareholders of

Long Jiang Environment Protection.

58. On April 16th, 2014, Hulan Branch of Long Jiang Environment Protection was formally

established, and Long Jiang Environment Protection got the entrusted operation right of

Hulan Wastewater Treatment Plant, indicating Long Jiang Environment's business's formal

entry into Hulan District.

59. On June 25th, 2014, Green-Environment Investment (Shenzhen) Co, Ltd., increased

important step in financing innovation capacity and equity structure reform.

60. On November 2014, Mudanjiang Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Phase II as listed in

the first batch of PPP demonstration projects by the Ministry of Finance of the People's

Republic of China. The implementation of this project indicates that Long Jiang

Environment Protection is further carrying out the PPP pattern to which China attaches

great importance in Heilongjiang Province and will play an important role in advancing the

urbanization construction process.

61. On Dec. 8th, 2014, Long Jiang Environment Protection signed a supplementary

agreement for Ning'an Wastewater Treatment Plant Project with Ning'an Municipal

Government and both parties reached a consensus on the issues concerning the pricing

mechanism and price adjustment of wastewater treatment service charges, laying a solid

foundation for the steady operation of the wastewater treatment plant.

62. Long Jiang Environment Protection adhering to the concept of "Social and Enterprise Joint

Construction, Repaying Society", Group President Piao Yongjian, as a successful

entrepreneur and NPC delegate, attended the donation ceremony for subsidizing

impoverished students in Nanzhi Community, Daowai District , Harbin City and offered

8000 Yuan's tuition and living expenses to impoverished students, saying that Long Jiang

VII Sustainable Development Activities and Exchange

A Utilization of sludge resources

63. Sludge, as one of the pollution sources, not only has high moisture content, perishability

and strong odor, but also contains a large amount of pathogenic bacteria, parasite eggs,

such heavy metals as Chromium and Mercury and such poisonous harmful carcinogenic

substances hard to degrade as Dioxin. The sludge output reaches up to 982t/d in Harbin,

but sludge disposal means are insufficient. Such huge amount of sludge has brought a huge

burden to urban wastewater treatment plants and accumulated sludge has produced a

considerable impact on the surrounding environment. In view of the needs for disposal of a

large amount of sludge produced by wastewater treatment plants in Harbin, Long Jiang

Environment Protection Group Share Company has established Harbin Sludge Treatment

Plant, finally realizing the environmental benefits of pollution control.

64. In terms of sludge composting and sludge resource utilization experiments, seen from

Page 56: Environmental and Social Monitoring Report · Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY2014) LJEP Group Co. Ltd 1 GLOSSORY OF TERMS & ACRONYMS A2/O Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic Biochemical

52

the angle of the investigation of sludge characteristics of Harbin Urban Wastewater

Treatment Plant, sludge composting and municipal landscaping, turning sludge into

organic fertilizer for landscaping by means of sludge composting treatment can not only

comply with the national energy-saving and emission-reduction policies but also reduce

the expenditure of landscaping departments. Through the physicochemical indicators test

and heavy metal content analysis of dewatered sludge, sludge composting test and the

application to sludge compositing to growth response test have been conducted based on

the following technical routes, with the main conclusions and suggestions as follows: (1)

The basic physicochemical properties of the sludge composting products of Harbin

Wenchang Taiping Wastewater Treatment Plant can satisfy the application to landscaping

and their rich fertilizer composition, organic matter content and nitrogen and phosphorus

content can compare with traditional organic fertilizer. (2) In terms of the heavy metal

content of the sludge composting products of Harbin Wenchang Taiping Wastewater

Treatment Plant, all indicators comply with the requirements for application on alkaline

soil specified in GBT23486-2009 Disposal of Sludge from Municipal Wastewater

Treatment Plant - Quality of Sludge Used in Gardens and Parks. (3) After aerobic

composting, sludge becomes loose, free from odor, with volume decreases. (4) The effect

of sludge fertilizer on plant growth depends on the application amount, and the sludge

fertilizer application amount should be determined based on the nature of different plants.

(5) After the application of sludge composting products, soil fertility can be improved

significantly, which can not only ensure adequate nutrients but also provide quickly

effective nutrients for plant growth, suitable for land reclamation and suitable as lawn base

fertilizer , grass, trees and flower fertilizer, etc.

65. Saline-alkali land has seriously restricted the development of animal husbandry and

forestry production in Heilongjiang Province, making it imminent to conduct effective

control of saline - alkali soil. The products produced from sludge going through

thermophilic aerobic fermentation can be applied to saline - alkali land and play an

excellent role in saline - alkali soil remediation. Each year (calculated based on 360 days)

1500ha saline - alkali land can be remediated. The establishment of sludge treatment plants

can not only realize reutilization of sludge resources but also bring certain social benefits.

66. There is lots of inland saline-alkali land distributed on the Songnen Plain of

Heilongjiang Province, covering an area of about 2.882×106ha, occupying 39.3% of the

total area of saline-alkali land in Northeast China, making the plain one of the world’s

three largest concentrated distribution areas of sodic saline soil. The saline-alkali land in

the internal flow area of the watershed of the Songliao Plain features large distribution area

and high degree of salinity, and particularly, Daqing, Anda and Sanzhao have the most

concentrated distribution of saline-alkali land: with the saline-alkali land in Daqing

covering an area 13.69 × 104ha, occupying 28.3% of the urban total land area; the

saline-alkali land in Anda covering an area 14.76 × 104ha, occupying 41.2% of the total

land area; the saline-alkali land in Sanzhao (arid and semi-arid region) occupying

41.20%,of the urban total land area, severe saline-alkali land area occupying 58.5% of the

saline-alkali land area. There is nearly 66.7 × 104ha saline-alkali soil in the west of

Heilongjiang Province, mainly distributed in Daqing and South Qiqihar, of which more

than 10 × 104ha land contains more than 1% salt. The products produced from sludge

land for remediation. During the report period, Long Jiang Environment Protection Group

Share Company prepared to sign strategic agreements with the local governments of Hulan

Group and will use the nutrient soil produced from sludge compost products of Harbin

Sludge Treatment Plant to remediate the land provided. After renovation, the pilot plans to

be used for agricultural development through cultivation of economic crops such as

marigold and lavender and high-density straw crops such as silage corn.

67. Heilongjiang, as a major grain producing province in China, witnesses a total output of

grain of 10 billion kg annually, with its main crops including corn, rice and soybean.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, the annual output of crop straw is about

5100× 104 in Heilongjiang Province. Except for some sweet sorghum and corn straw used

as animal feed and fertilizers by “returning straw to the field”, most part of the straw is

wasted or burnt. It is estimated that about 3300 × 104 t of straw is burnt each year. Burning

straw not only damages people’s health but easily causes fire, damage to the soil structure

and decline in farmland quality. Harbin Sludge Treatment Plant disposes sludge 36.5×104t

a year and needs 4.9 × 104 t of straw each year and Long Jiang Environment Protection

Group Share Company purchases crop abandoned or burned crop straw from farmers for

sludge composting treatment in the urban wastewater treatment plants dedicated to

environmental control and finally returns the organic nutrient soil produced from the crop

straw for agricultural and forestry use. The thermophilic aerobic fermentation is for sludge

composting treatment in the urban wastewater treatment plants dedicated to environmental

control, finally returning organic nutrient soil for agricultural and forestry use, which is

just one of the important moves for responding to the energy conservation, emission

reduction and resources-oriented utilization and advancing the development strategies of

circular economy.
