1. INTRODUCTION

Baoding City is located in the middle of Hebei Province, China, on the north China plain,

approximately 140 km south of Beijing. It is a famous city with a long history of more than 2300

years. Baoding City as presently administered includes 4 cities, 18 countries and 3 districts

covering 22,100 km2. The total population is 11 million and the urban population is about 1

million. The famous lake, Baiyangdian, “White Ocean Lake”, is located in Anxin Country about

80 kilometres east of Baoding City.

Water pollution and ecosystem degradation in the Baiyangdian Basin have accelerated in the last

two decades due to continued pressure from rapid economic growth, industrialization, and

urbanization. The degradation of the lake has diminished livelihood opportunities for communities

living in the lake’s surrounding areas and has put them at risk from various types of diseases.

Adding to the current problems is the weak capacity of county governments to implement and

enforce environmental policies and safeguards to conserve biodiversity of the Basin.

The “Integrated Ecosystem and Water Resources Management in the Baiyangdian Basin”

Project will support the Baoding Municipal Government (BMG) and participating county

governments in abating the continuing pollution and degradation in the Lake and its river network

as well as in rehabilitating its ecosystem in line with the priorities of the national, provincial, and

municipal governments. The proposed Project is part of the first phase under the Baiyangdian

Ecosystem Rehabilitation Master Plan which calls for an integrated effort to reduce pollution

loads in the Lake and rehabilitate the ecosystems in the Basin, with a planned investment of over

$1.0 billion. This Project is a pilot demonstration project for future undertakings.

In order to fund this Project, China together with the Hebei Provincial Government and Baoding

Municipal Government has applied for a loan equal to $100 million US dollars to cover part of the

total $273.4 m cost. The remaining counterpart funding will come from a variety of domestic

sources. The ADB loan has been approved.

The final list of subprojects entails 22, which are grouped into seven categories of interventions,

based on their basic characteristics. The seven categories of interventions include:

� Category 1: Wastewater treatment (13 subprojects);

� Category 2: Water supply (3 subprojects);

� Category 3: Reforestation (2 subprojects);

� Category 4: Water resource reallocation (1 subproject);

� Category 5: Watershed rehabilitation (1 subproject);

� Category 6: Clean energy (1 subproject); and,

� Category 7: Flood control (1 subproject).

3.3. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

3.3.1. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING IN CONSTRUCTION PHASE

As of June 2010, 11 WWTPs have been completed due to the urgent completion date requirement.

7 of them have completed the Environment Check-and-Acceptance of Project Completion

(ECAPC); 4 of them are in commissioning phase and preparing for the ECAPC.

Environment monitoring specialist of consulting company has been in place since November 2009,

requested the environment monitoring be commenced immediately and submitted detailed

monitoring implementation plans by categories of subprojects to BPMO.

In the EMP implementation training on April 2010, environment monitoring specialist emphasized

again the detailed requirement of the environment monitoring. Environment Management Unit

(EMU) of BPMO has also kept urging the IAs for the implementation of environment monitoring

and provided detailed requirements of environment monitoring. Since most of the WWTPs

commenced construction earlier and were under the urgent requirement of early completion,

environment monitoring during construction phase has not been implemented as required by the

Environment Monitoring Plan, which leads to the missing of environment monitoring data.

As of the site visits in May 2010, 11 WWTPs had been completed without environment

monitoring of construction phase. In order to compensate the missing of the monitoring data


29

during construction phase, EMU of BPMO and the environment monitoring specialist requested

the IAs and EPBs to provide materials such as of environment supervision reports, EPB site

inspection reports and other environment related records, etc., which can record and explain the

environment impact and effectiveness of mitigation measures taken during construction to some

extent. EMU of BPMO and environment monitoring specialist also requested the IAs and the

EPBs to attached great importance to the following environment monitoring during operation and

confirmed the environment monitoring requirement during operation. The IAs promised to

implement the environment monitoring as requested by the environment monitoring plan and

submit monitoring reports to PMO on regular basis.

For the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWM) subproject, 4 parts of civil works

construction have been started, and it is estimated that the second part of the construction will be

finished by the end of August 2010 and other 3 parts will be finished by the end of September

2010. Construction has been more than half completed while the environment monitoring has not

yet implemented, far behind the environment monitoring plan. BPMO have kept pushing the

Baoding Water Resources Bureau (BWRB) for prompt implementation of environment monitoring.

Currently, BWRB has recruited a qualified monitoring institution, who will conduct environment

monitoring in early August.

Dingzhou WSS has commenced construction since November 30th 2009 and is estimated to be

completed by November 30th 2010. PMO has sent the monitoring requirement to the IA

Anxin UFM project is on construction phase now. PMO has sent the monitoring requirement to

the IA.

Baiyangdian Lakside Reforestation project has commenced construction. PMO has sent the

monitoring requirement to the IA.

As discussed with and Baoding EPB, County EPBs and IAs, and according to the review and

update of the environment monitoring plans in SEIA and EIAs of each project, it is suggested that,

IAs recruit the qualified monitoring institutions such as local Environment Monitoring Station,

Baoding Environment Monitoring Centre for monitoring in the construction phase, the major

monitoring parameters for the construction phase are mainly TSP, PM10 and noise level. The

monitoring report will be submitted to County EPBs, Baoding EPB and BPMO.

3.3.2. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING OF ENVIRONMENT

CHECK-AND-ACCEPTANCE OF PROJECT COMPLETION (ECAPC)

Xiong County WWTP, Li County WWTP, Liushi WWTP, Mancheng WWTP, Yi County WWTP,

Dingzhou WWTP and Anxin WWTP have finished the Environment Monitoring of Environment

Check-and-Acceptance of Project Completion (ECAPC). The monitoring results include the water

quality of inflow and outflow, boundary noise level and odor. General monitoring results are

summarized as follows:


30

1. Water Quality: Water quality of outflow of Yi County WWTP has just met the 1B

standard of the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Plant（（（（GB18918-2002））））, and passed the ECAPC of 1B standard. Currently, technical

improvement measures have been taken by Yi County WWTP to ensure the outflow can

meet the 1A standard. For other WWTPs, the water quality of treated wastewater have all

reached the 1A standard and passed the ECAPC of 1A standard.

2. Boundary Noise Level: For Li County WWTP, 3# monitoring point in the south

boundary exceeds the noise level limit of night time; 4# monitoring point in the west

boundary exceeds the noise level limit of both day time and night time. For Liushi WWTP,

2# monitoring point exceeds the noise level limit of both day time and night time. Other

WWTPs have met the standard of boundary noise level.

3. Odor: All WWTPs passing the ECAPC have met the odor emission standard.

Detailed monitoring results of ECAPC can be seen in Appendix 2.

3.3.3. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING IN OPERATION PHASE

COD online monitoring facilities have been installed in all of the WWTPs in operation phase to

conduct online monitoring for the inflow and outflow with monitoring results every 2 hours.

Besides, the WWTP laboratories conduct monitoring and analysis of COD, BOD5, NH3-N, TP, SS,

DO and etc. on daily basis. EPBs also conduct outflow water quality inspection monitoring on

monthly basis. According to the environment monitoring plan, WWTPs will also conduct

monitoring for boundary noise level and odor emission. Monitoring results will be submitted to

PMO and EPBs. Since the WWTPs have just been put into operation, the monitoring data

obtained during this report period are mainly outflow water quality data from some of the

constructed WWTPs.

3.3.3.1. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING DURING OPERATION PHASE OF YI COUNTY WWTP

Internal Monitoring: The range of monitoring results of outflow water quality from January to

June 2010 are: COD:17.6-30.67 mg/L、BOD5:11.33-13.69 mg/L、SS：7-11 mg/L、TP：0.6-0.96

Sludge output and water content monitoring from January to June 2010 show that monthly sludge

output is 291.2-316.2 t and the rate of water content is 80%.

Quality of Sludge from Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB24188-2009) requires that the

WWTP sludge should reach the rate of water content of below 80% after dewatering, if the sludge

is to be landfilled by domestic waste landfill, the rate of water content should meet the

requirement of Standard of Pollution Control on the Landfill Site of Municipal Solid Waste

(GB16889-2008), which means the rate of sludge water content should be less that 60%.

Compared with the standard, the sludge water content after dewatering in the Yi County WWTP

can meet the limit of 80%, but fail to meet the 60% limit for domestic landfill.

Impact Assessment. Anxin UFM subproject has change in the project scale after the reply of

approval of EIA report. Environment monitoring specialist reminded in the meeting with Anxin

PMO and IA of Anxin UFM that EIA report should be updated according to the requirement of

Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment.

3.5.2. MITIGATION MEASURES TAKEN

Subprojects in construction phase have taken proper environmental mitigation measures. The

construction and domestic wastewater generated from construction site is collected, treated and

discharged in accordance with discharge standard or reused as spray water on roads; Mitigation

measures such as regular water spray, material coverage, enclosed operation are taken to control

dust; Vehicles and equipments in compliance with emission standard are chosen in order to reduce

air emission; construction waste and domestic waste in construction site are collected and treated

properly; noise level is reduced by properly construction arrangement, usage of equipments of low

noise level and noise insulation; ecological restoration are taken at earth and rock excavation and

borrowed site to avoid soil erosion. In general, all subprojects in construction phase have taken

proper and effective mitigation measures according to the requirement of EMP to reduce the

adverse impact.

During construction, EPBs conducted inspection site visit to the construction site and provided

comments and recommendations on the mitigation measures taken for the wastewater pollution,

air pollutant emission, construction noise and construction solid waste. During commissioning of

WWTP and preparation of ECAPC, EPB conducted site visits and provided comments and

recommendations on the environmental issues such as facilities commissioning, chemical dosing,

online monitoring and greening, etc. Besides, EPB also took samples of wastewater during site


42

visit and did analysis.

Effective measures are taken according to EMP requirement to ensure WWTP outflow to meet the

water quality standard. Noise insulation and silencer are adopted to ensure the boundary noise

level to meet the noise level standard. Trees are planted within the WWTP and around the

boundary to reduce the impact of odor on surrounding areas. Baoding EPB and County EPBs are

conducting regular site inspection and monitoring to ensure the mitigation measures are

effectively taken.

3.5.3. ENVIRONMENT CHECK-AND-ACCEPTANCE OF PROJECT COMPLETION

night time; 4# monitoring point in the west boundary exceeds the noise level limit of both day

time and night time. For Liushi WWTP, 2# monitoring point exceeds the noise level limit of both

day time and night time. In view of this, EPB has given requirement and recommendations on the

noise level exceeding issue. Baoding PMO and EPBs will urge and supervise Liushi WWTP and

Li County WWTP to take effective noise reduction measures to ensure the boundary noise level is

within the standard limit. Other WWTPs which have passed ECAPC have met the standard of

boundary noise level.

7 WWTPs WWTPs which have passed ECAPC have met the odor emission standard.

4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1. CONCLUSION

All subprojects have completed EIA reports and received reply of approval from EPB. Xinxing

has updated the EIA due to site location change and got reply of approval according to Law of the

People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment.

Of 22 subprojects, 7 WWTP subprojects have completed the Environmental

Check-and-Acceptance of Project Completion (ECAPC) and are in operation phase now. They are

Xiong County WWTP, Li County WWTP, Liushi WWTP, Mancheng WWTP, Yi County WWTP,

Dingzhou WWTP, Anxin WWTP. 4 WWTP subprojects such as Baigou WWTP, Tang County

WWTP, Xushui WWTP and Dingxing WWTP have been completed and are in the commissioning

phase and preparing for the ECAPC. 5 subprojects such as IWM (Integrated Water Resources

Management), Dingzhou WSS, Anxin Flood Control Management, Baiyangdian Lake

Reforestation and Solid Waste Management (SWM) have been on the construction phase. 6

subprojects such as Xinxing WWTP, Wenquancheng WWTP, Yi County WSS, Xiong County

WSS, Angezhuang Watershed (Reservoir) Reforestation, Xiong County Clean (Geothermal)

Energy are in the preparation phase.

Subprojects in construction phase have taken proper environmental mitigation measures. The

construction and domestic wastewater generated from construction site is collected, treated and

discharged in accordance with discharge standard or reused as spray water on roads; Mitigation

measures such as regular water spray, material coverage, enclosed operation are taken to control

dust; Vehicles and equipments in compliance with emission standard are chosen in order to reduce

air emission; construction waste and domestic waste in construction site are collected and treated

properly; noise level is reduced by proper construction arrangement, usage of equipments of low

noise level and noise insulation; ecological restoration are taken at earth and rock excavation and

borrowed site to avoid soil erosion. In general, all subprojects in construction phase have taken

proper and effective mitigation measures according to the requirement of EMP to reduce the

adverse impact.

7 WWTPs subprojects have passed ECAPC. For the boundary noise level, Li County WWTP and

Liushi WWTP have problem in the boundary noise level exceeding. In view of this, EPB has

given requirement and recommendations on the noise level exceeding. PMO and EPBs will urge

and supervise Liushi WWTP and Li County WWTP to take effective noise reduction measures to

ensure the boundary noise level is within the standard limit. Other WWTPs have met the standard

of boundary noise level.

For water quality of WWTP outflow, Yi County WWTP has just met the 1B standard of the

Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant（（（（GB18918-2002））））,

and passed the ECAPC of 1B standard. Currently, technical improvement measures have been

taken by Yi County WWTP to ensure the treated wastewater can meet the 1A standard. Baoding

PMO and environment monitoring specialist will follow the progress of its technical improvement,

provide guidance and assistance. For other WWTPs, the water quality of treated wastewater have


44

all reached the 1A standard and passed the ECAPC of 1A standard.

7 WWTPs which have passed the ECAPC have met the odor emission standard.

Effective measures are taken according to EMP requirement to ensure treated wastewater to meet

the water quality standard. Noise insulation and silencer are adopted to ensure the boundary noise

level to meet the noise level standard. Trees are planted within the WWTPs and around the

boundary to reduce the impact of odor on surrounding areas.

In terms of institution and staff arrangement, BPMO has set up an EMU with 3 staffs in charge of

supervision of EMP implementation. Environmental monitoring specialist from SOGREAH

Consultant Company has been in place, reviewed the EMPs and assisted BEMU to prepare the

first progress report of EMP implementation. IAs have set up their own EMUs that have 2 ~3

employees each in charge of EMP implementation. Baoding EPB, County EPBs conduct site

inspection to ensure the environment mitigation measures are properly and effectively

implemented, provide comments and recommendations and organize the ECAPC.

For institution strengthening and training, environment management training and meeting has

been taken to provide an interactive way to introduce and explain the ADB environment policy,

contents and requirements of environment management of this project. The training has clearly

explained the ADB environment policy, requirements and responsibilities of the environment

management plan implementation.

Environment monitoring in construction phase are lagging behind schedule. Since most of the

WWTPs commenced construction earlier and were under the urgent requirement of early

completion, environment monitoring during construction phase has not been implemented as

required by the Environment Monitoring Plan, which leads to the missing of environment

monitoring data. PMO are urging the subproject in construction phase to commence monitoring as

soon as possible.

Monitoring data of outflow, boundary noise level and heavy metal in sludge obtained indicates

that the monitoring result meet relevant standards. Nevertheless, since the monitoring data

collected is not complete, data collected does not fully reflect the actual operation situation of the

WWTPs. Furthermore, the Baiyangdian Sewage Projects Assessment Report drafted by

Wastewater Treatment Process Specialist indicates that water quality monitoring data seems

suspicious; in some cases where a county-level WWTP is operated, usually fluctuate with

arbitrariness unskilled laboratory-clerks present. As we all know, a successful performance in

WWTP can never be expected without reliable measurements and availability of credible data; it

is recommended that a comprehensive review of the regular measurements is therefore imperative.

Sludge water content monitoring data from January to June 2010 of Yi County WWTP, Dingzhou

WWTP, Xiong County WWTP, Liushi WWTP and Li County WWTP show that their rate of water

content are: 80%、78%-79%、76.4%-78%、80%-80.5%、79%-80% respectively. Quality of Sludge

from Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB24188-2009) requires that the WWTP sludge

should reach the rate of water content of below 80% after dewatering, if the sludge is to be

landfilled by domestic waste landfill, the rate of water content should meet the requirement of

Standard of Pollution Control on the Landfill Site of Municipal Solid Waste (GB16889-2008),

which means the rate of sludge water content should be less that 60%. Compared with the

standard, the sludge water content after dewatering in Yi County WWTP, Dingzhou WWTP,


45

Xiong County WWTP, Li County WWTP can meet the limit of 80%, but sludge water content of

Liushi WWTP slightly exceeds the limit of 80%. However, they fail to meet the 60% limit for

domestic landfill.

4.2. RECOMMENDATIONS

Subprojects in construction phase should commence environment monitoring as soon as possible,

recruit qualified monitoring institutions to conduct environment monitoring according to the

Environment Monitoring Plan. B-PMO, B-EPB and C-EPB will supervise the monitoring

activities of IAs; for the subprojects which have commenced monitoring, monitoring results

should be submitted to BEMU on regular basis.

Strengthen the environment management during construction phase. Effective mitigation measures

should be taken to properly treat the wastewater, reduce dust and air pollutant emission, reduce

noise level of equipment and transportation, properly dispose the construction waste and domestic

waste.

Constructed WWTPs should draft corresponding operation management manuals and environment

management implementation procedure, establish well-formed contingency plans, clearly define

environment management responsibilities of each department. Environment management training

should be conducted on regular basis for the WWTP staff to improve awareness of environment

protection.

Comments and requirement for improvements in the EPB’s reply of approval in the ECAPC

should be followed. PMO and EPB should urge and supervise the implementation of improvement

measures. For the noise level exceeding issue of Liushi WWTP and Li County WWTP, PMO and

EPB should follow the implementation of improvement, provide assistance to find the cause of

noise level exceeding and take corresponding noise reduction measures such as planting trees,

noise insulation, and installation of silencer to ensure the boundary noise to meet the standard.

Roads and vegetation and trees should be recovered or planted timely when major civil works and

equipments installation are completed to reduce the impact of dust, noise and odor.

Yi County WWTP should speed up the improvement of wastewater treatment to ensure the treated

wastewater meet the 1A standard. Wastewater quality monitoring results should be submitted to

PMO on regular basis. PMO will provide supervision and assistance in the improvement.

Ensure reliable measurements and availability of credible data. It is recommended that a

comprehensive review of the regular measurements is therefore imperative.

More detailed information on the sludge dewatering process, dryness and disposal in the WWTPs

are needed to be collected from WWTPs to evaluate the current sludge treatment and provide

comments and recommendations for rectification and improvement.

For the subprojects which will be changed in project content, if the project nature, scale, location,

process or mitigation measures to address pollution and ecological deterioration have undergone

significant change, New EIA report should be prepared and approved according to requirements of

Law of the People s Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment. The updated EIA

report, design report should be submitted to BPMO.


46

Regular communication and cooperation between BEMU, B-EPB, C-EPB, EMU of IAs,

contractors, Environmental Supervision Company (ECS), EIA institutes, Design institutes and

EMCs should be established and strengthened. IAs should regularly report to BEMU, B-EPB and

C-EPB the implementation status of mitigation measures and environmental monitoring results.

According to the implementation status of mitigation measures and monitoring report, BEMU will

give feedbacks and recommendations, in order to improve the effectiveness of environmental

management.
