Foreword

Since the development of urbanization and mechanization has led to the ever-increasing

gasoline usage in China, energy will be principal factor influencing the Chinese social and economic

development in future. For a long time, the country’s urban public traffic infrastructure construction

has been lagged behind, and urban public traffic system is unable to satisfy the high-quality daily

travelling of urban citizens. The acute imbalances between supply and demand of urban traffic are

mainly reflected by the insufficient urban public traffic system capacity, out-of-step development of

urban public traffic system with the urban scale, single urban public traffic structure and lack of the

advanced traffic planning concept with most of cities experiencing the absence of public

traffic-oriented traffic planning. This project is an important measure to optimize public traffic of

Harbin and promote economic and social development and need to deal with cold weather and ease

traffic difficulties under cold weather. Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate

data information and guarantee operation and management efficiency.

Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System of Harbin has construction period of five years,

the construction contents of which include: I. Public traffic priority corridor construction project; II.

Public traffic infrastructure construction project; III. Traffic management and safety construction

project; IV. Road maintenance and emergency response construction project; V. Institutional capacity

construction. The project has a total investment of RMB 1435.4186 million Yuan, including

construction investment of RMB 1412.7449 million Yuan (including engineering cost of RMB

1179.5387 million Yuan, other construction costs of RMB 106.4000 million Yuan and reserve cost of

RMB 126.8062 million Yuan) and interest during construction period of RMB 22.6737 million Yuan.

Environmental Protection Science Research Institute of Heilongjiang Province, being entrusted

by Communications Bureau of Harbin, undertook the environmental impact assessment of the

project. Upon the entrustment, we rapidly set up the project group for environmental impact

assessment consisting of assessment professionals in the field of noise, atmosphere, ecology, water

and society. Basing on the serious studies on the previous outcomes of the project progress, the group

carried out detailed investigation and filed survey along the project line, and collected relevant

information from departments involved of Harbin and eventually prepared, in combination with the

feasibility study report of the project, the Environment Impact Report of Alpine-cold Intelligent

From the Tables 1-8 and 1-9, the adverse project environmental impacts are mainly represented

in the construction period through land section use, traffic, social economy, acoustic environment,

ambient air and ecological environmental impacts, and partial, short-term, and reversible natured; the

favorable impacts are mainly represented in the operation period, with the environmental factors

impacted including urban ecology, industrial development, traffic, social economy, and living

standard, and wide and long-term natured.

1.12 Environmental Protection Objectives

1.12.1 Ecologically Sensitive Objective

Through the investigation, the project assessment covers the ecologically sensitive objectives

such as natural reserves, scenic spot, forest park, and basic farmland preservation area.

1.12.2 Water Environmental Protection Objective

The project does not cover the water source protection zone. However, since the some sections

in the road works of the project are near the Songhuajiang River, and considering the sewage

discharge during the construction and environmental accident risks during the operation may impact

the Songhuajiang River, so the Songhuajiang River is regarded as the water environmental protection

objective of the assessment, with the periphery of the project as the water environment functional

area of Zhushuntun section of Songhuajiang River (water quality: class III).

1.12.3 Noise and Atmospheric Environmental Protection Objective

According to the assessment ranges defined, the project covers 27 schools, 14 hospitals and 3

buildings to be protected (shown in Table 1-12-3), with the corresponding noise and atmospheric

east longitude and between 44º04’ and 46º40’ north latitude and its climate is temperate continental

monsoon climate. Winter (November to March) in Harbin lasts as long as five months and it starts

from October 3 and ends at April 30 (210 days) on which the average temperature is below 10 ℃

and the weather is cold and dry. January is the coldest month and its average temperature is -20.3 ℃,

the extreme low temperature being -38.1 ℃ (within urban district). In midwinter, the temperature

always drops sharply and big snow storm would hit the city due to outbreak of severe cold air and its

southward movement which seriously affects the city’s traffic and makes it inconvenient for people

to go outside. The city district of Harbin is mainly distributed on the three-stage terraces shaped by

the impact of Songhua River: the first terrace is flat and its elevation varies between 132 m and 140

m. It mainly includes Daoli District and Daowai District; The second terrace whose elevation varies

between 147 m to 175 m is gradually developed from the first terrace and there is no clear boundary

between the two terraces. It mainly covers part of Nangang District and Xiangfang District in a large

area and it is an important agriculture district of Harbin provided deep soil layer and fertile soil after

erosion of running water for a long time. The third terrace covers Huangshanzuizi and southern part

of Pingfang District and its elevation varies between 180 m and 200 m. It gradually expands to

increasing by 12.3% and 19.1% their own. The intensity of infrastructure construction is

strengthened and the service of city carrier is continuously promoted. The city infrastructure of roads

and bridges has made new breakthrough including the construction of 146 newly reconstructed roads

of all varieties and 34 bridges and culverts. The Line 1 metro is on trial operations; the West Railway

Station of Harbin has come into service; and the Harbin-Dalian high speed rail is in operation

officially.

3.2.3 Communication and Transportation

Harbin Airport is an important international airport providing more than 40 international and

domestic air lines; Harbin Harbor is one of the eight great inland ports in China which flows directly

into Japan Sea passing Heilongjiang along Songhua River; Harbin Railway Station is seated on the

joints of five railway trunks, connecting Siberia Railway to its northwest which goes straight to the

Europe, neighboring Vladivostok of Russia to its east, and reaching big cities of China to its south;

the Harbin Expressway makes it possible to go from Harbin to Beijing, Dalian, Daqin, etc. directly;

and its seven main roads spreading in a radial pattern lead to all places of the Northeast China.

Harbin is an key open city in the inland of China and a pilot city of comprehensive reform and it

enjoys a series of preferential policies given by the country, especially that Harbin’s “Inland Port”,

the first inland port in China’s inland city and a port city without coast, is approved by the State

Council making it possible for container cargo to enter and leave ports and go in bond and out bond

directly, which compensates the shortcoming that there is no harbor.

3.2.4 City Construction and Environmental Protection

The city’s environment is greatly improved. The urban district is constructed as a whole and

more than ten key projects have been completed including the reconstruction of removing obstacles

in Hejiagou and the construction of overpass bridge from Shangzhi Street to Haicheng Street. More

than 10 kilometers rural roads have been constructed. There are 50 landscape courtyards in municipal

level and green courtyards, 3 featured landscapes decorated by lanterns, and 405 buildings of …

Themed on “Forever Green”, 10 landscape courtyards and 40 green courtyards have been

constructed, adding an area of 131,779 square meters of green land, whose green coverage ratio is

29.9%.

The ability of environmental protection has been improved. The city has strengthened its

comprehensive treatment on pollution of smoke and dust, sewage, waste gas as well as noise; the

comprehensive index of environmental protection is 96.6%; the qualified rate of industrial waste

water discharge is 72.7%; the comprehensive usage rate of industrial waste is 100%; and the

treatment rate of industrial waste gas is 100%.

3.2.5 General Situation of Infrastructure Development in Project Area

After years of construction, Harbin’s transportation has been greatly improved. However, there

are still many problems such as lacking of infrastructure in road net, stations, etc., and coordination

among different transportation means, differences of management systems and policies made by

different sectors, and lacking of information communication, which are shown as below:

Traffic of the city---low density of city road net; small number and poor connectivity of fast

roads and arterial roads; aging and lacking of channel infrastructure to cross rivers restricting the

city’s development and the interaction between the two banks; unbalance in the coverage of public

traffic network; lacking of right for roads leading to a poor function of bus transit lanes; lacking of

public traffic stations making it hard to take advantage of the public traffic; the problem of parking in

city which is more serious; poor management of parking which needs to be further improved; poor

traffic environment for pedestrian paths and slow speed roads; the new challenge is posed in terms of

how to make a harmonious and environmental-friendly traffic environment in the city.

External traffic in the city---severe unbalance in cargo categories and transportation volume

Page 75: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

67

between up going railway transportation and down going railway transportation; severe insufficiency

of transport capacity in different seasons and different directions; bad traffic gather and distribution

in cities and stations divided by different railway lanes; low grade and density of road network; poor

circuity of arterial roads; presence of bottleneck roads; serious in exits and passageways of roads in

cities (towns); bad road condition of rural roads; lower level of overall service; lacking of channels

that crossing rivers still; incapacity of direct communication between counties and cities on the two

banks of Songhua River; decrease in water volume after navigation; lagging of infrastructure

construction; aging of ships; insufficiency of taking the advantage of water transport of Songhua

River; independence of different stations and lacking of communication and coordination; lacking of

main stations which are too small in scale and are bad in gathering and distributing cargos externally;

lacking of connectivity and cooperation among different transportation means; and lacking of unified

planning, coordination and management mechanism.

The management systems are different and policy differences are obvious——the transport

market system is imperfect, the management system reform lags and institutional barriers, such as

“perform their own policy” exist; multi-channel and multi-level transportation investment and

financing system and mechanism have not been formed; it is short of the orientation and guidance of

“public traffic priority”, bus operation is disperse, bus economic subsidies, compensation policy

and mechanism have not been established and bus operation and management level needs to be

improved.

There are 1,862 roads in the city area currently with total length as 2,166 km, wherein, the

length of the express way is 167 km, that of main road is 463 km and that of secondary road is 341

km and the basic layout is “two axes, three rings and ten rays”. There are 252 bridges of all

varieties. The average density of road network in the built-up area is 6.5 km/km2; density of main

road network is 2.93 km/km2. Land for urban road square is 34.32 km

2, land rate of road is 10.6%

and the road land use per capita is 9.0 m2. 2 pedestrian streets: the pedestrian street on the Central

Avenue (west second street-west fourteenth street) is 1,429 m long; the pedestrian street on the

Jianshe street (Dazhi street-Youzheng street) is 240 m long.

The net begins to take shape and has covered the whole city. The bus operation net of the whole

city is 776.6 km and there are 205 bus coding lines; there are 5,433 operational buses in the city. The

number of buses has increased by 38 in 2012, the updated buses are 562, 600 large-capacity buses

Page 76: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

68

start to operate and the bus passenger capacity has reached 1.16 billion.

Harbin has started to implement establishment of “bus city” demonstration city in 2012, has

constructed 200 bus platforms totally, 23 first and last station of public traffic and has started to

construct 6 bus transfer integrated hubs. Currently, centered in railway passenger station, Harbin

station and Harbin east station have been formed initially and Harbin west station has been put into

operation, forming a large-scale integrated hub with convenient transfer of various means of

transportation.

Subway (rail transit) has met the urban rail transit planning and has been in construction. No. 1

Route has been started and No. 3 Route is to be started. According to the frame of Systematic

Planning of Harbin Bus Transit Lane, the construction efforts of bus transit lane has been

strengthened through coordinating urban construction, planning and public security, traffic police and

other departments. A bus lane of 30.65 km long has been set in Harbin station, Zhongshan Road,

Xinyang Road, Dongdazhi Street, Xidazhi Street and other streets; the bus reverse driving lane has

been set in the one-way traffic organization of the five streets, such as Guogeli Street, Shitoudao

Street, Diduan Street, Shangzhi Street and Senlin Street; the limitation for left-hand bend of the bus

has been canceled in the level crossing of longitude and latitude twelfth street, Diduan Street and

other main roads in the city area.

Currently, there are only 30.65 km of bus transit lane, which are disperse mutually. Effective

network has not been formed. As a result of occupation of cars and other motor vehicles, road

resource is more and more limited, especially the bus corridor with heavier bus trip. Because of large

density of net layout and a lack of bay parking stations (only taking up 6.9%), buses on various

routes always reach the station at the same time with very disordered traveling order, so the bus

speed and on-time rate are influenced more seriously. The average running speed of the buses in the

bus corridor is only 14.7 km/h currently, which is far from the standard of 20 km/h required by

Ministry of Construction. Furthermore, the signal monitoring system and vehicle guidance system

ensuring public traffic priority have not been established, which increased the parking time of buses

largely and reduced the traveling speed.

Three public traffic priority corridors of the project are unrelated to the underground pipe

network. Xiangbin Road is Harbin Bus Corporation currently, underground pipe network is of

Page 77: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

69

underground water supply and heat supply pipe network. There is no construction plan recently. The

construction pipe network of hub station of Xiangbin Road is directly connected to the underground

pipe network of the Bus Corporation.

(4) Current status assessment conclusion

Through the onsite reconnaissance, research and status monitoring, the following conclusions are

come out:

The major pollution resource is traffic noise. The result of current status monitoring shows: the 7,

9, 11 monitoring point of environment don’t exceed the relevant standard. Daytime value of

environment noise is 59.0dB(A)~65.0dB(A), both are lower than the relevant day standard

requirements, the night value of environment noise is 47.2dB(A)~55.0dB(A), both are lower than

the relevant night standard requirements, all the daytime and night value of other monitoring points

exceed the standard to varying degrees, the noise value doesn’t meet the relevant standard of

Acoustic Environment Quality Standard (GB3096-2008), which shows that the current regional

acoustic environment quality is general.

4.4 Current Ecology Environment Status

The ecological environment of this project belongs to the typical urban ecology environment,

integrating the urban ecological environment and suburb ecological environment.

The artificial greening plant is the main community of the urban ecological environment system,

including public green space such as park, green belt around the sidewalk, isolation green belt and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

79

soil of vegetation site. Urban ecological environment is under the control of urban planning, the

greening ratio and greening species and green distribution are all under the framework of urban

planning. The major vegetation related to the ecological environment in the assessment area of this

project is mainly distributed at the assessment area of Qunli First Avenue and Xinyang

Road-Chengxiang Road sub-program, the current vegetation of other subprojects is simple, which

are the trees and shrubs along the walkway and trees, shrubs and grass in the insulation belt.

According to the satellite remote sensing interpreted data and other ecological environment

material, the overall Harbin ecological environments status shall be assessed according to the

Ecological Environment Status Assessment Technical Specification (Trial) (HJ/T 192—2006), each

assessment index are shown as below after calculation:

Biological abundance index: 77.73, vegetative cover index: 76.98, water network density index:

21.62, land degradation index: 21.45, environment quality index: 95.87, ecological environment

status index EI: 69.24, the comprehensive assessment level: good, compared with last year, the

change value of overall Harbin ecological environment status index is 1.12, which is unobvious

change.

Current county ecological environment quality status: according to the 2012 ecological

environment quality status assessment data, make the Harbin urban area and its ten counties (cities)

as the basic assessment area to assess the county ecological environment quality status. The

ecological environment quality status of Harbin urban area and its ten counties belong to “good” and

“general” respectively. Wherein, Wanzheng County, Tonghe County, Shangzhi City, Wuchang City,

Yanshou County, Mulan County, Yilan County and Bin County are “good”, accounting for 72.7% of

the whole county (city) number; Harbin downtown, Bayan County, Shuangcheng City are “general”,

accounting for 27.3% of the whole county number, according to the area of each county, the area of

“good” county is 39800 km2, accounting for 75.0% of the whole city area; the area of “medium”

county is 13300 km2, accounting for 25.0% of the whole city area.

5. Scheme Comparison

As Harbin intelligent traffic management system project, Harbin road traffic environment

80

information data collection system project and Harbin intersection slow-driving system traffic safety

improvement system project belonging to traffic management capacity construction project, they

have positive effect to environment protection, the project itself may not generate any impact on

environment, therefore, scheme comparison is not performed in this chapter, which only discusses

the two subprojects Harbin urban public traffic priority corridor and public traffic infrastructure.

5.1 Public Traffic Priority Corridor Construction Project

Chapter III discusses the selection of traffic corridor of subprojects of newly-built roads in the

project, which meet Harbin urban development planning and Harbin urban traffic and road

development planning, provide the engineering graphic design and comparison scheme drawing of

the original pavement, the assessment is mainly done on this basis.

5.1.1 Public Traffic Priority Corridor of Youyi Road (Road Bridge to Tonggang

Street)

In graphic design of road, the route shall meet the safety and driving comfort requirements, and

modify partial unreasonable places of the original road, and arrange the easement curve,

superelevation and broadening reasonably. The turning points of the route shall be arranged within

the intersection range as much as possible. Regulate the unreasonable phenomena at entrances and

exits on both sides of the original roads, to minimize the impact on main road by entering and

leaving of vehicles.

Environment comparison:

①Acoustic environment: the feasible scheme can guarantee the running speed of road, to avoid the driver from whistling due

to irritable mood caused by low vehicle speed, to relieve the noise impact of sensitive points as both sides.

②Atmospheric environment: the exhaust emitted in bad car traffic capacity is more than good traffic capacity, thus, the feasible

scheme is better than the existing scheme.

③Ecological environment (including solid waste): the ecological environment impacts of the two schemes are consistent, both

of them are small.

Conclusion: comparing with the cross section scheme, the non-motor vehicle lane is too wide, the motor vehicles are driving

and parking on the non-motor vehicle lane, which may cause greater impact on safety of non-motor vehicles. After comparing

with canalization of cross section, the motor vehicle lane is too wide, which is not safe for the pedestrians to cross the street. The

Page 90: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

feasible scheme can avoid the motor vehicles driving on the non-motor vehicle lane, thus, it is recommended to adopt the

feasible scheme.

Taking into account of the above factors, the feasible road scheme is better than the current status.

In graphic design of road, the route shall meet the safety and driving comfort requirements, and modify partial

unreasonable places of the original road, and arrange the easement curve, superelevation and broadening

reasonably. The turning points of the route shall be arranged within the intersection range as much as possible.

Regulate the unreasonable phenomena at entrances and exits on both sides of the original roads, to minimize the

impact on main road by entering and leaving of vehicles.

The feasible schem is benefit for directing traffic quickly, thus, it is suggested to adopt the feasible scheme.

Taking into account of the above factors, the feasible road scheme is better than the current status.

Environment comparison:

①Acoustic environment: the feasible scheme can guarantee the running speed of road, to avoid the driver from whistling

due to irritable mood caused by low vehicle speed, to relieve the noise impact of sensitive points as both sides.

②Atmospheric environment: the exhaust emitted in bad car traffic capacity is more than good traffic capacity, thus, the

③Water environment: the water environment impacts of the two schemes are consistent, both of them are impact of

pavement runoff.

④Ecological environment (including solid waste): the ecological environment impacts of the two schemes are consistent,

both of them are small.

The stream of people of public traffic corridor of Hongqi Avenue is larger, the recommended scheme is convenient

for people and non-motor vehicles to cross. Through comprehensive consideration, it is suggested to adopt the

recommended scheme.

Taking into account of the above factors, the feasible road scheme is better than the current status.

Besides, the environment impact assessment also suggests:

1. For overpass of public traffic corridor: add ceiling and cover, pay attention to anti-slip (the

feasible scheme has been adopted)

2. The bus stops shall be close to the traffic lights as much as possible, to be convenient for

passengers to cross: do not newly build or dismantle overpass and underpass, and adding caring

for the vulnerable groups.

5.2 Public Traffic Infrastructure Construction Project

5.2.1 Suggestions on Existing and New Buses

(1) If spreading snow-melting agent in the compartment, the snow-melting agent contains salt,

the floor in the compartment is iron, which is easy to be corroded.

(2) Non-slip mat: in winter, the compartment floor may freeze a thick layer of ice. If laying

plastic non-slip mat, the mat may be frozen firmly by the thick layer of ice, then it will lose the

anti-slip function completely. For the plastic floor, the non-slip layer may be damaged through using

for a long time.

(3) Using abrasive floor in the bus can avoid the impact generated by freezing of non-slip mat.

It is suggested to use abrasive floor in the bus in the environment impact assessment, meanwhile,

anti-slip carpet shall be arranged on the steps, which shall be fixed on the vehicle, to prevent

passengers from falling down when getting on or off the bus due to carpet slipping.

(4) Make passengers be easier to confirm the starting point, target point and the location of

themselves in the space through strengthening certain spatial forms (such as adding the main

passages getting through various spaces, and the atrium space acting as the space center), factors

(light, color and material quality etc.). Lead the stream of people through construction manner as

much as possible, instead of simply canalization the stream of people by using handrail and ropes.

(5) Provide comfortable waiting space (shelter from wind and rain, bright and enough chairs);

the stair width of transfer passage, anti-slip measures, and numbers of escalator shall match with the

stream of people, besides, the arrangement of infrastructures such air conditioning and rest room in

the transfer hall shall be taken into account.

5.2.2 Public Traffic Hub Station

The public traffic hub station project includes one site in all, i.e. Xiangbin Road public traffic

hub station, based on the objective requirements of “north jump, south expansion, middle resurgence

and strong county” strategy and the development model concept of public traffic urban “with

intensive public traffic as main part, several kinds of transportation modes operating coordinately”,

Page 94: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

86

construct “periphery loop” 6 public traffic urban pilot demonstration parking and transfer integrated

hub, Xiangbin Road hub station is one of them, which is planned to part 6 bus lines. Its particularity

cannot be replaced; therefore, this environment impact assessment will not discuss the site.

Environment Impact Assessment Suggestions:

1. The passages in the station shall use closed ceiling, in order to guarantee the light within the

passages and no constriction generated by passengers, it is suggested that the ceiling using

transparent materials.

2. The rainwater on shoes of the passengers and the rainwater on the umbrella in rainy season,

and the snow on shoes of the passengers and the snow spread on clothes in snow season may drop on

the floor of the passage. In environment impact assessment, it is required to add the anti-slip facilities

such as anti-slip design and laying carpet on the passage, meanwhile, in view of the low temperature

in winter, if the carpets is frozen, they will be surrounded by ice, which may lead to slippery road, if

carpet is laid, it is required that the passage is provided with insulation function. If carpets are not

used, the ground itself shall be designed as anti-slip ground.

3. The waiting hall is provided with one rest room at present, which can be used by 4 persons at

the same time, including 2 males and 2 females. In the environment impact assessment, it is

suggested to increase the number of rest room to the condition that 8 persons can be used at the same

time, include 3 males and 5 females, to guarantee the usage of passengers.

4. There are 8 chairs in the waiting hall at present, in the environment impact assessment. It is

suggested to increase to 30, to guarantee waiting comfort of passengers.

5. See Table 2-2-5, it is suggested to adjust the driver lounge, dispatching room and monitoring

guardhouse layout from floor 1 to floor 2 or floor 3, to guarantee the demands of residents in floor 1

to waiting chairs and rest room. Besides, the parking space in the waiting hall is too much, or the

waiting hall is too small, it is suggested to reduce parking space correspondingly, and increase areas

of waiting hall of floor 1.

5.2.2 First and Last Station Project of Public Traffic

The first and last station project of public traffic includes two sites, i.e. First and Last Bus

Page 95: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

87

Station at Qunli First Avenue and First and Last Station at Hexie Street. In order that the first and last

station of the line is coincided with OD point of major passenger flow between each traffic zone of

the city, avoid unnecessary short distance transfer; in the newly-built vast stretches of residential

districts located in the urban peripheral, arrange the two first and last stations of bus line according to

the passenger flow volume. Its particularity cannot be replaced, thus, the feasible scheme does not

give the comparison site of the site in the subproject, therefore, this environment impact assessment

will not discuss the comparison scheme.

Environment Impact Assessment Suggestions:

1. For the first and last station with small areas: the indoor area is not large, it is suggested to

change the layout of dispatching room from ground floor 1 to ground floor 2 in the environment

impact assessment; change the car washing room and repair room layout from ground floor 1 to

underground floor 1, to guarantee enough passenger waiting space.

2. On ground floor 1, increase the chairs in the waiting zone from 6 currently to 12, and the rest

rooms shall be increased from using by 2 persons to using by 4 persons at the same time. It is

required to add public traffic information service system.

3. Buildings recommended reducing the floor height

The upstairs of hub and first and last station are all internal office rooms (non-public use), in

environment impact assessment, try to reduce floor height as much as possible, but it shall guarantee

the health level of users is not affected, and the theoretical basis are as follows:

①National standard of the People’s Republic of China Design Code for Residential Buildings

GB500961999 requirements: the floor height of common residence should not be higher than 2.80 m;

the ceiling height of bedroom and living room (hall) shall not be lower than 2.40 m, and the ceiling

height of kitchen and rest room shall not be lower than 2.20 m. Today, many developed countries on

the world limit their respective ceiling height of residence below 3 m, for example, the American

regulation is 2.28 to 2.4 m, the UK regulation is 2.2 to 2.4 m, and Japanese and Poland regulation is

2.2 to 2.6 m.

②Floor height and ceiling height of residence may directly affect the project cost, it is due to

the condition that if the floor height and ceiling height increases, the wall area will increase, the

Page 96: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

88

column volume will increase, and bring about foundation pipeline heating factors, which may also

increase the project cost. When the floor height is reduced from 3 m to 2.8 m, the comprehensive

cost of each set of resident will reduce 4% to 5%, which can also save materials, energy and be

benefit for anti-seismic mouth.

③On the condition that meeting the using requirements and sanitary requirements, reduce the

floor height properly may reduce the housing spacing correspondingly, which may save land, reduce

housing weight, and save materials. Proper reduction in floor height may save energy. Space ratio

treatment shall use different treatments of window to adjust the space sense of proportion. Through

using the contrast technique of setting off high with low, reduce the ceiling of the secondary room, so

as to make the major space look taller, and the secondary space is kind and pleasant.

④Impacts on energy conservation by floor height are mainly reflected on the following aspects:

production energy consumption of building materials is usually larger, reducing the floor height can

reduce the using amount of wall materials, pipeline engineering materials and base materials of

building. Building envelope area: the heat transmission amount of building envelope is proportional

to the heat transmission area thereof, reduction in heat transmission area can reduce heat

transmission amount effectively. The heat transmission area of wall depends on the floor height and

perimeter of house; therefore, on the condition that meeting the using head room height requirements

of house, the floor height shall not be increased at will. When the wall thickness, perimeter and wall

material is unchanged, changes of floor height may directly bring about changes of heat transmission

amount.

5. Indoor and outdoor anti-slip suggestion of the station facilities:

①Outdoor anti-slip of bus station – It is suggested that the outdoor ground granite plate of the

first and last station is fire board, which can play a role in anti-slip, to prevent the pedestrian from

falling down.

②Indoor anti-slip of bus station – It is suggested to lay carpets on the passages people getting

through inside the bus station, which is used for anti-slip, to prevent pedestrian from falling down.

5.3 Zero Scheme Comparison

The so-called zero scheme is that there is no construction in the project. Zero scheme

comparison is the comparison of impact on external environment between no construction and

construction of project.

Seen from the relevant contents of project construction meaning, if the project is not constructed,

the phenomena of congestion at the relevant traffic intersection and roads may occur in Harbin, the

reduction of car running speed may also cause increase of fuel quantity and pollutant emission,

meanwhile, it may increase travel time of pedestrians, reduce efficiency, which may not only

consume fuel but also pollute environment, therefore, the impact on external environment by zero

scheme is obvious.

On the contrary, if the project is constructed, it may certainly reduce the current traffic

congestion phenomena, to make a corresponding increase in running speed of cars, while reduce

pollutant emission and be convenient to travelling of pedestrians, which is not only energy

conservation but also emission reduction. Of course, smooth road may bring about increase in car

ownership, which may increase fuel and pollutant emission correspondingly, but it only can be

realized based on improvement of people’s living standard, therefore, it has essential difference with

no development and no construction of zero scheme.

In general, the project is a project with more positive environment benefit than negative benefit,

which is benefit for people’s livelihood, and the impact on external environment by project

construction is obviously greater than zero scheme impact caused by no construction.

6 Environmental Impact Perdition in Construction Period

6.1 Social Environmental Impact Analysis in Construction Period

6.1.1 Analysis of Impact on Urban Traffic

(1) This project involves many road sections, at present, the traffic volume on three public

traffic corridors of Youyi Road, Xinyang Road, Hongqi Avenue, therefore the construction of this

project has certain influence on the daily traffic. Some road sections may suffer from traffic jam and

stoppage at the rush hours, and encounter the morning peak and evening peak, the traffic condition is

Page 98: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

90

serious. At this moment, the traffic manage department shall control and manage it, utilize the

adjacent road network to organize the traffic and diverge the traffic, so as to guarantee that the

normal life of resident will not be interrupted.

(2) During the construction, plenty of construction machinery and transportation vehicles will

be used in the construction, therefore the traffic flow along the line will be increased, disturbing the

urban traffic.

6.1.2 Analysis of Impacts on Residents Living

From the analysis of impacts on urban traffic, it can be seen that the urban traffic will be

disturbed during the construction of engineering, causing the traffic jam and crowd of urban road,

and the public traffic line shall be laid out again when the division and bypass measures and other

temporary measures are taken, which will bring influence and inconvenience to the residents’ trip,

work and living.

6.1.3 Impacts on Urban Infrastructure

Three public traffic corridors will be built in this project, mainly changing the pavement,

without influencing the urban ground and underground water pipeline network, electricity, gas and

communication facilities. During the construction of sidewalk, the trip of pedestrian will be

influenced temporarily, but this influence will disappear after the completion of construction, with

the influence small. The bus first and last station and the hub of this project has no impact on urban

ground and underground water pipeline network, electricity, gas and communication facilities, which

will be integrated into the urban underground pipeline network after completion. The construction of

this project has no impacts on the urban drainage facilities.

6.2 Analysis of Impacts on Ambient Air Quality in Construction Period

6.2.1 Analysis of Impacts on Ambient Air Quality in Construction Period

During construction, the ambient air impact factor is flying dust and dust. The wind will cause

the material stacked in the open air dusting, especially when the wind speed is stronger and the

material is dry and not covered, the dusting pollution is serious. During the construction, there are

Page 99: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

91

certain dust dispreading into the surrounding air during the transportation, loading and unloading and

mixing process, influencing the regional air quality; The other kind is the exhaust discharged by the

construction machinery and heavy-duty vehicle during the running, the main pollutant is carbon

monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and hydrocarbon (HC), and the pollution will be more

serious when the vehicle drives at overspeed.

①Road dust

The road dust is mainly caused due to the transportation of construction material by the

construction vehicle on the road; there are many factors causing the road dust, it is mainly related to

running speed of vehicle, wind speed, quantity of dust accumulated on the road and the humidity of

dust accumulated on the road, wherein the wind speed can also directly influence the transmission

distance of dust; due to that it is strong windy weather in the project area, therefore the road dust

pollution is serious during the construction.

According to the monitoring (see Table 6-2-1) on the vehicle dust on Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu

Expressway during construction by the Ministry of Communication Road, the TSP concentration is

5.093mg/m3

at 150m at the down wind direction, and the influence scope of pollution will expand

when the wind speed is larger.

②Dust at the stacking yard

The type, nature and wind speed of material at the ash stacking yard has a lot to do with the dust

capacity; the material with small specific gravity can be disturbed easily and generate dust, and the

dust capacity will be large when the small grain accounts for most in the material. The dust at the

stacking yard include the dust of stacking material caused by the wind, dust caused in the loading

and unloading as well as the reentrainment of dust of road accumulated dust caused by the vehicle

passing by, which will generate the serious dust pollution, and have certain impact on the

surrounding environment, but the dust emission can be effectively restrained through watering,

reducing 70% of the dust emission.

③Dust at the construction site of public traffic hub and first and last station

The construction dust generated during the construction of public traffic hub and first and last

station is mainly from the excavation of earthwork and stacking on site, the handling and stacking of

building material (pale grey, cement, sand, pebble and brick etc.) at the site, the clearing and stacking

of construction garbage, and the road dust on site caused by the coming and going of people and

vehicle. The analogy method is used in this evaluation to analyze the ambient air impact by utilizing

the measured data of existing construction site.

According to the statistics of related data, Beijing Municipal Research Institute of

Environmental Protection has monitored the dust condition of 7 construction sites, and the wind

speed at the moment of monitoring is 2.4 m/s, and the results are detailed in Table 6-2-2.

According to the above data, it can be seen that:

1. The dust of building construction is large, when the wind speed is 2.4m/s, the TSP

concentration in the construction site is 1.5 to 2.3 times of that of the control point at the upwind

direction (50m), average of 1.88 times, which is equal to 1.4 to 2.5 times of the ambient air quality

standard, average of 1.98 times.

2. The influence scope of dust of building construction is 150m within the downwind direction,

the TSP concentration average value of area influenced is 491ug/m3, which is 1.5 times of the

control points at the upwind direction (50m), equal to 1.6 times of the ambient air quality standard.

6.3 Analysis of Impacts on Water Environment in Construction Period

6.3.1 Analysis of Impacts on Water Environment in Construction Period

The water pollution source in the construction is mainly the construction waste water, washing

sewage of mechanical equipment, oily wastewater and domestic wastewater of constructor.

(1) Construction wastewater

The horizontal sedimentation rank is set at the construction site of this project, after the muddy

water is treated through the coagulation sedimentation, and the supematant will be reused to the

reduce water on the construction site. The production wastewater generated in the construction can

be drained into the municipal sewage pipe network after being treated in the sedimentation tank.

(2) Washing wastewater of machinery equipment

According to the study of Li Jing of Environmental Science and Engineering School of

Chang’an University, the washing wastewater quantity of general large-scale sand processing system

is 3 times of that of the processing the sand, the principal pollutant of sand wastewater is SS, and the

concentration of SS is related to the mechanical composition of sand, and the mass concentration of

washing wastewater can be more than 500mg/L. According to construction scale and features of this

works, the discharge is determined of 0.8m3/d, and the concentration of principal pollutant is

COD300mg/L and SS800mg/L.

0.8m3/d

COD 300mg/L 2.4kg/d

SS 800mg/L 6.4kg/d

(3) Oily wastewater

The oily wastewater in the construction period is mainly from the repairing and maintenance of

construction machinery as well as the leakage, bubbling, dropping and seeping during the work. It

mainly consists of lubrication oil, diesel, gasoline and other petroleum type material, once these

materials enter into water body, they will float on the water, hinder the material exchange on the

oil-water interface, reduce the dissolved oxygen of water body, and influence the vital movement of

water living things. Analogy with the similar engineering statistical data, the quantity generated of oil

is about 0.2m3/d, and the concentration of petroleum type material is about 30-150mg/L. Therefore

they can be absorbed with solid-state oil absorption material, and then be treated after being mixed

and sealed.

(4) Domestic wastewater of constructor

According to estimation, there are about 300 person such as various workers and manager at the

traffic hub and first and last station works at the rush hour; according to the domestic water

consumption norm of construction site and the analogy investigation of constructors’ water

consumption, the total quantity of domestic wastewater generated of this works will be about 2880t/a

calculated by taking the 80L/person day, 150 days construction days and 0.8 sewage discharge factor.

Component and concentration of domestic wastewater pollutant of construction station is detailed in

6.4 Analysis of Noise Impacts in Construction Period

The main noise source at the construction period of project is the noise generated by various

building construction machinery and equipment production, the construction noise generated during

the decoration and the noise generated during the transportation of building garbage and raw material.

The mechanical equipment used in the construction includes excavator, concrete pump, vibrator, air

compressor, electric drill and electric saw etc., and the construction machinery has the feature of high

noise, irregular and strong sudden etc. The noise level of some part construction machinery during

running is detailed in Table 6-4-1.

6.4.1 Noise Predicting Result and Impact Analysis in Construction Period

(1) Noise source

Various machineries type are involved in the construction; diesel pile driver, drilling machinery,

vacuum pressure pump and concrete batch plant etc. are used in the foundation treatment; bulldozer,

road roller, grader, loading and unloading machine etc. are used in the filling of roadbed; Diesel pile

driver, winch, bulldozer, road roller etc. are used in the bridge construction, and these sudden noises

will have certain impacts on the surrounding acoustic environment. Wherein the noise effect at the

construction stage of foundation is the most; two viaducts will be built in this project, therefore the

piling work of bridge will generate the serious influence to the acoustic environment along the line,

In addition to, during the construction of foundation, accompanied with will bring radiation noise

brought by the transportation vehicle of building material, during the transportation of construction

material, the transportation road will inevitably select the existing road nearby the sensitive points,

but the noise level of mechanical equipment used in the construction is very high, if not controlled,

they will have large impacts on the nearby village, schools and environment sensitive points.

According to investigation, the sound pressure level of mechanical equipment (include

bulldozer, excavator, grader, concrete mixing machine, road roller and paver etc.) used in the road

construction in domestic land at present are detailed in Table 6-4-1, and the noise test value of

asphalt concrete mixing station is detailed in Table 6-4-2.

Note: The above data are tested when the construction machinery runs with full load.

The road construction is different from the general construction, and the features of noises

generated are as follows:

①Various construction machinery, different construction machinery are used at different

construction site, and the quantity of construction machinery used in same construction stage is

different, which makes the noise of road construction has the feature of contingency.

②The feature of noise source of different equipment is different, wherein the noise of some

equipment is the vibrating type, burst type and impulse type, which has great impact on human body,

some equipment’s frequency (such as mixer) is low, which will not attenuate easily, and make people

feel agitated. The noise of construction machinery is larger, buy there are large difference between

their sound level, and the running noise of some equipment is more than 90 dB.

③The source of construction noise is different from the general fixed noise source, i.e. it has

Page 106: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

98

fixed noise source and the flowing noise source. The construction machinery are exposed outdoor,

and they are always moved in the certain range, therefore the noise pollution scope is increased

compared with the fixed noise source, but the source of construction noise is in the local noise

pollution scope compared with the flowing the noise source.

④Compared with the scope influenced, the noise of construction equipment is rather smaller,

therefore its noise can be deemed as the point acoustic source.

⑤For specific road section, the pollution of construction noise is only exists for a certain time.

The construction machinery used in works are mostly the flowing sound source, the noise

source has certain mobility, discontinuity, wherein the moving scope of transportation vehicle is

large, and the bulldozer and excavator etc. has small moving area, with smaller moving scope, its

feature of sound source is different from that of the movable vehicle. Therefore, its impacts have

obvious time-bound.

For the water supply and drainage work of this project, less machinery is used in the laying of

pipeline, with short construction period, and the noise impacts are limited. Therefore this evaluation

only predicts and analyzes the noise impacts of construction machinery used in the road works.

(2) Prediction and analysis of noise impacts

In consideration of the complexity of construction noise and the regional and stage of

construction noise impact, this evaluation only calculate the noise impact scope of different

construction equipment according to national Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary

of Construction Site (GB12523-90), so as to ensure that the construction unit can take the proper

noise pollution prevention measures by combining with the actual condition.

The noise source of construction equipment will be calculated according to the point source,

and its noise prediction mode is:

LR

RgLL i

i 0

0 201

Wherein: Li and L0 is the noise level of equipment at the place Ri and R0 far from the equipment;

ΔL is the additional attenuation generated by the obstacle, vegetation and air etc.

For multiple construction machinery, the impacts on the certain predicted position, it is required

Page 107: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

99

to add the sound level:

iLgL

1.010101

(3) Calculation and analysis of construction noise impact scope

According to the above prediction method and mode, the prediction result of noise value

(doesn’t overlay with the current value) of various construction machinery at different places is show

as Table 6-4-3, without taking the noise attenuation of wood and buildings.

13 Concrete pump 85 79.0 73.0 67.0 65.0 62.5 60.5

Due to that the sound pressure level of construction machinery is rather higher, they will have

certain impacts on the construction site and surrounding environment during the construction, and

not only the nearby resident will suffered the construction noise with different grade, but also the

Page 108: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

100

operator of construction machinery and the constructor will be influenced seriously.

Evaluate according to Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction

Site (GB12523-2011), the noise source of most main equipment is out of the limit. The

environmental noise predicted value within 50m of noise source with the source level of 90 dB(A) is

out of the limit; in case of construction at night, the environmental noise shall be subject to the night

standard value exceeding 55 dB(A) within 200m. Therefore it can be seen that the noise of road

construction has large environmental impacts on the scope within 50m of construction site, and have

certain impacts on the scope of 50m to 100m, especially the construction at night. But the noise is

short-lived and temporary, and the construction noise will disappear once the construction activities

are completed. People can understand and accept its impacts generally. But the construction unit

shall take necessary noise control and management measures, to reduce the impacts on the

environment by construction noise, and to protect the normal life and rest of resident along the line.

6.5 Analysis of Urban Ecological Impact in Construction Period

6.5.1 Analysis of Ecological Impact in Construction Period

(1) Analysis of impact of construction on greening vegetation

The impact of construction on vegetation mainly includes the vegetation removal due to the

permanent land occupation and the vegetation occupation within the temporary land occupation area,

the vegetation damage within the permanent land occupation will be permanent, with the vegetation

deterioration irreversible.

The vegetation within the temporary land occupation will be destroyed seriously during the

construction; there are existing roads and some common land within the temporary occupied land;

the construction period of this project is 48 months, and the project will make the vegetation within

the temporary occupied land loss 4 growing season, seriously influencing the occupied land scope,

but from the macroscopic perspective, the impacts on the type of regional vegetation and the

vegetation distribution is les, and after the completion of construction period, all the vegetation

within the temporary land occupied will be restored, and the vegetation deterioration within the

temporary land occupied of this project can be restored effectively along with the planting of

Page 109: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

101

vegetation.

(2) Analysis of impacts of spoil and construction waste on surrounding environment

①Due to that the spoil activity will inevitably disturb the surface of soil within land occupied

by the spoil area and borrow area, completely damaging the vegetation within the land occupied by

the spoil yard and borrow area, but the soil borrowing and spoil activity belongs to the activities of

construction period, with features of temporary; it is required to restore the vegetation within the

borrow and spoil area after the completion of soil borrowing and spoil, therefore the vegetation in the

spoil and borrow area will be restored and compensated along with the planting of vegetation, and

the impacts will disappear gradually.

②The exposed excavated face formed due to the improper handling of works spoil and

construction garbage as well as the soil borrowing and spoiling and the rickle formed in the spoiling

activities will form the potential source of water loss and soil erosion, which will form the water loss

and soil erosion in strong wind and heavy rain. But the works spoil and construction waste will be

transported to the Harbin construction waste refuse landfill for filling intensively; the filling of spoil

will not have adverse impacts on the land utilization, in contrast, it will be beneficial for the restoring

of local ecological environment.

③During the construction, the stacking of earthwork and rockwork, sand and stone, cement,

clay, other construction material, spoil and waste material will have certain impacts on urban

ecological environment. Especially the poor stacking and protection of spoil, the drainage pipe of

road will be blocked easily in case of rain erosion, influencing the traffic and city appearance.

④The dust generated by the transportation vehicle of spoil and the spilled slag will have dust

impacts on the pavement of street passed by and the residents at the two sides of green belt, and will

also have certain impacts on the urban environmental hygiene.

In a word, in case the spoil and construction waste are not treated properly, they will have

certain impacts on the surrounding environment.

6.5.2 Analysis of Impacts of Project Construction on Urban Landscape

The two public traffic first and last station of this project is vacant lot, therefore no demolition is

revolved. The Xiangbin Road hub station will be built in the yard of Harbin Motor Corporation

which is an idle waste land now, and it is vacancy in day, and some vehicles will be parked here at

Page 110: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

102

night. There is no demolition work in the construction of this project.

During the construction of this project, the impacts on the surrounding landscape are mainly

reflected on the following aspects:

(1) During the construction, the vegetation can be damaged inordinately, and then damage the

element of natural landscape, damaging the local region landscape to a certain extent.

(2) During the construction, the excavation of foundation and the stacking of earthwork,

stonework and construction material, especially the temporary stacking of construction spoil and

construction waste will influence the urban hygienic condition and urban landscape.

(3) During the construction, the disorder parking of temporary structures and machinery

equipment will also have inconsonant factors and impacts on the surrounding landscape.

(4) During the building of hub station and transformation of road and other main works, it is

required to set the guardrail, enclosure and other separation measures, and it will bring certain

damage to the urban landscape surely.

6.6 Analysis of Solid Waste Impact in Construction Period

During construction, plenty of silt, slag (including slag of removing the old building), silt

excavated at the ground surface and surplus waste material etc. will be generated in the construction

at the site. In case such solid construction wastes are not processed properly, they will hinder the

traffic and pollute the environment. During the transportation, in case of paying no attention on the

clean transportation, the soil will be leaked along the line, polluting the street and road and

influencing the city appearance and traffic. In addition to, the random stacking of solid waste will

occupy the land, destroy the landform and vegetation, and influence the landscape of settlement

where the construction team is stationed.

Some light pole will be removed during the construction of this project, and the quantity of light

pole that will be removed and whether there are transformer and other dangerous waste cannot be

determined at this stage of project.

There is no formal construction waste processing plant in Harbin at present, and there is a

construction waste treatment plant is planned to be built from 2011 to 2020. At present, the

construction unit will appoint the temporary stocking area for the construction waste, and almost all

Page 111: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

103

the construction waste can be reused in other construction site basically.

The construction waste of this project is mainly from the spoil generated in the construction of

project, scrapped building material and building material packing etc. The construction spoil is

mainly the works spoil generated at the public traffic hub and public traffic first and last station, and

the works spoil generated at the Xiangbin Road Hub station will be transported to Songbei District

904 Institute for disposing intensively. The works spoil generated at the Qunli Fist Avenue, Hexie

Street public traffic first and last station will be transported to Hashuang Road Datang Power Plant

for disposing intensively. The Songbei District 904 Institute and Hashuang Road Datang Power Plant

are the construction waste temporary stacking yard approved by government, and at present there are

empty space at the two place to intensively stack the temporary construction waste of construction

project, waiting for recycling of construction waste or the intensively treatment conducted by the

construction unit.

6.7 Analysis of Impacts of Vibration in Construction Period

There are various vibration sources for the foundation vibration caused by the building works,

mainly caused by the pile foundation works, foundation improvement work, compaction work of

earth and the running of transportation loaded car.

The construction of this project includes the new construction, transformation and the

construction of pedestrian path. The foundation vibration caused by the foundation improvement

mainly refers to the compaction of sand and earthwork, the vibratory hammer and other tamping

equipment are used. The vibration generated during the running of heavy vehicle is the vibration

generated by the road roller and diesel etc. According to the data provided in the Japanese

Environment Impacts Assessment Manual, the vibration of construction machinery is shown in Table

6-7-1.

Table 6-7-1 Vibration Level of Construction Machinery Unit: dB

Equipment Name At 5 m At 10m At 20m At 30m

Vibratory

Hammer 75 67 48 44

Road Roller 58 53 50 48

Diesel locomotive 62 58 54 51

From Table 6-7-1, it can be seen that when the vibration influence of the above mentioned

Page 112: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

104

construction machinery is transmitted to the place 10 m away from the vibration source, the

requirements of residents’ cultural and education area in Urban Regional Environment Vibration

Standard, and the requirements of artery traffic road at the two sides can be met. The distance

between the construction site boundary of this project and residential buildings, schools, kindergarten

and culture relic protection site is about 15 to 40m, therefore it is forbidden to use the vibratory

hammer and other construction machinery that may generate large vibration at night, so as to prevent

the vibration generated disturbing people, and it is required to consider the shockproof device for the

machinery. During the construction, it is required to increase the related person’s know on the

vibration, shorten the operating time of construction machinery, reasonably distribute and arrange the

working position and time.

6.8 Analysis on Impacts on Physical Cultural Resources

The designed protection building of this project includes Friendship Palace, Jiangjun Boiling

and Harbin Taotai Mansion.

(1) During the construction, it is inevitable to occupy some site, and the place of construction

machinery, and the stacking of earthwork and stonework as well as the construction waste will

influence the existing landscape, but the change in landscape during the construction is temporary

and is far away from the protection building, therefore it will not directly influence the landscape and

tourism visiting.

(2) The construction dust will pollute the surrounding atmospheric environment of the

protection building to some extent. Under normal conditions, the dust produced during the

construction is the instantaneous source; its particle is large and it is generated at low place, mainly

within the nearby construction site; however, if the wind blows, the dust produced by the

construction will cover the surface of the ancient buildings to some extent.

(3) The mechanical noise during the construction will affect the buildings to some

extent.When the intensity is high, it will cause serious damage.The fragile cultural relics are in the

dynamic environment at long-term, which will slowly weaken the strength of the structural surface

of rock crack and facilitate the formation and spallation of the dangerous rock. The vibration caused

by the short-term and discontinuous construction machinery will not obviously affect the cultural

relics.

7 Predication and Assessment of Environmental Impact in Operation Period

7.1 Analysis and Assessment of Social Environment Impact

(1) Save travel time, promote the city's economic development

After implementation, the project will greatly improve the traffic speed of stream of people in

the city, save travel time of traveller, improve the efficiency, and let them create values for the

society.

Besides, with the development of society, people’s living standard improves continuously,

proportion of private cars has increased, petrol and gas filling difficulty and parking difficulty have

become the problems that the messes have to face at present stage, and it is inevitable that

construction of petrol and gas filling station and public parking lot will greatly alleviate the existing

contradictions. Meanwhile, the construction of public traffic hub will inevitably bring more smooth

people and logistics communications, promote the economic development of Harbin.

(2) Reduce automobile exhaust emissions, reduce noise

After completion of the project, average speed of automobiles traveling on road will increase on

different degrees, with the reduction of traffic congestion phenomenon, vehicles can always keep a

constant speed, and the times of start and whistle will decline sharply. For automobile produces

minimum exhaust emissions when traveling at constant speed, so the exhaust emissions and noise

will be reduced greatly on the condition that vehicle type and fuel etc. are all the same, this will play

an important role in improvement of urban air quality and noise environment quality. The

construction of public traffic hub station will reduce the usage rate of private car and automobile

exhaust emissions.

(3) Promote urban competitiveness, improve competitive environment and attract external

investment

Develop regional road traffic resource, strengthen construction of integration of road traffic

facilities will have deep influence in promoting the healthy development of urban development and

various social causes of Harbin.

After completion, the project will inevitably strengthen the external image of the city further,

7.2.2 Predication and Assessment of Air Quality Impact of Three Public Traffic

Corridors

After completion of the project, vehicle exhaust is main pollutant pollutant that influences

ambient air quality along roads.

Vehicle exhaust pollution source can be stimulated as a linear pollution source that emits

continuously. The size of quantity of pollutant discharged is closely related with that of traffic

volume, meanwhile, it also depends on vehicle type and conditions of running vehicles. Vehicle

exhaust mainly comes from air leakage of crankcase, fuel system volatilization, and emission of

exhaust funnel, mainly includes carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, etc. In accordance with

Assessment Criteria for Environmental Impact from Road Construction, source intensity of gaseous

Page 120: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

112

pollutant emission of vehicle exhaust can be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Wherein: QL—source intensity of pollutant discharge: mg/m·s;

Si—predicated annual hourly volume of i type vehicle, set/h;

Note: Source intensity of NO2 shall be calculated as per 90% source intensity of NOX.

After completion and put into operation, vehicle exhaust will become the main pollutant that

influencing the ambient air quality along the road. Vehicle exhaust pollution source can be stimulated

as a linear pollution source that emits continuously. The size of quantity of pollutant discharged is

closely related with that of traffic volume, meanwhile, it also depends on vehicle type and conditions

of running vehicles. In accordance with the experience on environmental impact evaluation of

existing road construction project, emissions of vehicle exhaust pollutant in equivalent standard Pi

are all far less than 2.5×109 m3/h.

The highway environmental impact, highway environmental protection acceptance investigation

on completion and highway analogy monitoring (Specifications for Environmental Impact

Assessment of Highways JTG B03—2006) already conducted show that diffusion of pollutant emitted

by vehicle during highway operation period is related to the terrain and weather conditions along the

highway, the region covered after diffusion is the belt-like region on both sides of highway and

parallel to the line. Even the highway with prodigious traffic volume, pollutant concentration of

150m far from central line of the highway has already approach the background value. So the 200m

corridor on both sides of central line of highway shall be taken as basis for evaluation of data of

highway environmental protection acceptance investigation on completion. Most bus lanes of the

project is changed to lanes on both sides of central line, which is relatively far away from

environmental sensitive points on roadside, the nearest sensitive point is 3 meters from the project.

After transformation of bus lane and purchase of environmentally friendly vehicle, the NO2, CO

Page 122: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

114

emitted by vehicles will be lower than in current situation, after completion,

NO2, CO emitted from the project can also satisfy the requirements of implementation standard of

Class II district in Ambient Air Quality Standards in the event of traffic volume increase.

7.2.3 Predication and Assessment of Air Quality Impact of Traffic Hub and First

and Last Station

(1) Vehicle exhaust

After completion of the project, public traffic hub station, first and last station of public traffic

will be built, exhaust of vehicles in and out will cause certain impact to ambient air, pollutants of

vehicle exhausts are mainly CO and THC, then NO2. Vehicle exhaust pollutants mainly comes from

vehicle exhaust, fuel evaporation in oil tank an carburetor, etc. and leaking gas from crankcase, the

percentages of pollutants discharged from these three pollution source in total discharge are shown in

Table 7-2-10.

Vehicle pollutant discharge occurs when in and out of garage, start and stop, and exhaust

pollutants produced when vehicle travels at idle speed. When calculate with the usage rate of 70%,

each vehicle idles for two times and each idle lasts for 3 minutes, volumes of pollutants analyzed in

accordance with relevant data are shown in Table 7-2-11.

In order to reduce exhaust concentration in parking lot and guarantee environmental quality,

firstly, strengthen management, dispatch the in and out vehicles well, reduce the excessive pollutants

in idle running, so as to reduce discharge further; secondly, install forced air supply equipment,

strengthen the ventilation in garage and install alarm device. After adopting good ventilation

measures, vehicle exhaust pollutant discharge concentration in parking lot and garage shall conform

to Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants (GB16297-1996).

(2) Environment impact from the organic solvent steam

Repair and maintenance work in public traffic station, parking and warranty shop will bring

certain adverse effect to air and workers’ health.

The main occupational hazard of paint work is to breathe into the steam of organic solvents.

Various paints compose of film forming substances (all kinds of resins), solvents, pigments,

desiccants and additives and the gasoline is usually used as solvent for common paint. The iron red

epoxy primer contains a little dimethylbenzene and the dipping paint mainly contains methylbenzene.

The spray paint (nitrolacquer) and its diluent (banana oil) contains much benzene or methylbenzene,

dimethylbenzene; if paint is sprayed in the absence of protection, the concentration of benzene will

be quite high in the air of the workplace, which will cause great harm to the hematopoietic organs of

painting workers.

Paint mist formed when spraying shall also influence human health, in which, flexibilizer in

nitrocellulose lacquer and alkyd paint has larger toxicity. Acid mist evaporates during rust removal

shall shall have strong stimulation effect to eyes and respiratory mucosa.

Make full use of protective equipment, such as work clothes and cap, work shoe, protective

eyewear, respirator (anti-poison respirator), etc. All these equipment can be used to prevent the

solvent being inhaled into the lung and contract with the skin. For exposed skin, protective paste

such as petroleum jelly for medical purposes can be applied, which can also be used on hand, and

shall be washed after completion of construction.

Natural ventilation and local mechanical ventilation will be used. Spray room shall be built and

Page 124: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

116

being equipped with mechanical equipment if conditions permit, meanwhile, paint mists shall be

removed by oil screen so as to solve the harm to human health caused by toxic substances and paint

mists.

For places where air cannot flow, construction personnel should use forced draft mask,

implement intermittent operation, strengthen labor protection, and benzene solvent cannot be used to

wash hands, the impact of harm gas to human body can be relieved in this way.

The range of effect to air and workers’ health caused by paint spraying is mainly centres within

the scope of station, parking and warranty shop, which shall not cause great influence to regional

ambient air. If the measures above are taken, the impact of organic solvent vapour produced when

repairing and spraying to ambient air can be accepted by the impact of ambient air.

(3)Impact of gas filling station in Xiangbin Road Hub Station on atmospheric environment

The east of existing gas filling station in Xiangbin Road Hub Station of this project is

Hengxiangzhongshan residential area and the minimum distance is 350 m; and Zhongbeichuncheng

Community is in the west with the minimum distance of 50 m; current old residential district is in the

south with the minimum distance of 420 m and Branch of Haqi Hospital is in the north with the

minimum distance of 270 m. Each standard and risk prevention measures of existing gas filling

station in Xiangbin Road conform to the requirements of the environmental impact assessment (EIA).

Existing gas filling station in Xiangbin Road is close to Zhongbeichuncheng Community and the

distance is 50 m. Xiangbin Road passes between the gas filling station and Zhongbeichuncheng

Community. All kinds of protection measures and fire fighting equipment of existing gas filling

station can effectively control the production of risk such as explosion and combustion, and the

width of buffer strip is enough. Existing gas filling station of this project has little effect on

atmospheric environment.

7.2.4 Ambient Air Impact and Assessment Conclusion

After completion of project, motor vehicle exhaust will bring certain influence to air

environment belt along the road with increase of traffic volume. While, when analysis from the

whole regional environment of Harbin, since the proposed project can improve the traffic congestion

Page 125: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

117

of Harbin, with the increase of vehicle speed, total amount of discharge of pollutants in vehicle

exhaust will certainly be reduced, and will change the distribution of vehicle discharge in urban area.

With the increase of vehicle exhaust pollutants along the proposed project, vehicle pollution of other

roads will be reduced due to project shunting. And the vehicle exhaust can be relieved by

strengthening of vehicle design, development of manufacturing technology and constant using of

clean energy. In general, the impact of vehicle exhaust to quality of ambient air along road during

operation period is relatively small, and can be accepted by external environment.

7.3 Predication and Assessment of Surface Water Environmental Quality Impact

7.3.1 Analysis of Water Environmental Impact of the Project

After operation of the project, water environmental pollutants mainly come from road surface

runoff pollution, domestic sewage produced by staff working in newly-built public traffic hub, first

and last station and wastewater produced when washing vehicles.

121

18918-2002).

Water discharge of Binjiang Road hub and the two first and last stations of the project is

95.06t/d, the discharge capacity is relatively small, which the daily sewage treating capacity of Xinyi

and Qunli Sewage Treatment Plant is relatively large, sewage discharged in the project can be

accommodated by the two sewage treatment plants.

(4) Analysis of water environment impact in operation period

During operation period of project, sewage discharged by newly-built public traffic hub, first

and last station and warranty shop mainly comes from oily wastewater, produced during vehicle

maintenance, vehicle washing wastewater and staff domestic sewage, the water quality is relatively

simple, the sewage will finally enter into municipal wastewater treatment plant through urban

sewage pipe network after treatment, and will have no impact on peripheral surface water.

7.3.2 Analysis of Water Environment Impact in Road Operation Period

After completion of the project, the wastewater of operation period is mainly rainwater, main

pollution factors of rainwater are SS and COD. The size of concentration of pollutants in road

surface rainwater will through a change process from large to small, concentration of pollutants will

reach the maximum within 0~15 minutes, then it will reduce gradually, and remain stable an hour

after precipitation.

For the concentration of water pollutant in rainwater is low, and it will cause impact at the early

stage of rainfall. Meanwhile, the urban sewerage and drainage system along the road of the project

will be improved with the project construction, so the road rainwater will not bring obvious impact to

water environment along the project after completion of project.

7.4 Predication and Assessment of Acoustic Environmental Impact

After completion of the project, the main impact to environment during operation period is

traffic noise.

Because of the differences in road structure and distribution of buildings on both sides, sound

field distribution on both sides of road will also be different, motor vehicles traveling on road shall

have different traveling conditions such as constant speed, accelerating, braking, swerving and

Page 130: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

122

climbing, etc. in addition, project involves a lot of road sections, all road interact with each other and

all roads locate close to each other, so the respective analysis of each road without considering the

noise overlay of each road shall become complex and inaccurate. In order to make the evaluation

result credible, grid point prediction method shall be adopted in the evaluation for predication of

ground road noise impact, and correct pavement grade and pavement materials, main working

condition of vehicle shall be traveling at constant speed.

In the evaluation, traffic volume and road design parameters of each road section shall be

predicted in accordance with the data provided in feasibility study report, the vehicle compositions

are given in accordance with status quo survey results and combined with development trend.

In accordance with Environmental Quality Standard for Noise ((GB3096-2008), the evaluation

has used daytime equivalent sound level and nighttime equivalent sound level as evaluation

quantities.

As can be seen from the result of noise predication, the noise value of road traffic is

significantly improved recently comparing with the monitoring result of noise status. The noise of

public traffic priority corridor of Hongqi Avenue, public traffic priority corridor of Youyi Road, and

public traffic priority corridor of Xinyang Road in daytime and nighttime can be up to standard in the

short and medium term. The noise in nighttime within 20m of red lines of road exceeds the standard.

See the table below for the effect of traffic noise on the sensitive spot and the effect of traffic noise

on the sensitive spot at both sides of road.

7.4.2.1 Noise Protection Distance

According to the requirements of HB [2008] No. 70 Notice on Strengthening Supervision and

Management of for Urban Construction Projects Impact Assessment, “for the urban road traffic

project in the urban built-up area, the projection distance and the implementation of noise pollution

control measures must be stated in the environmental impact assessment document and reply”. The

noise outside the boundary lines of road meets the requirements of relevant standard of

Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008) during the recent, middle-term and

long-term road operation after predication. Therefore, it is suggested that the buildings which are

sensitive to the noise shall not be built within the scope required by the related noise function area at

both sides of red lines of road, such as schools, hospitals. Measures such as providing of sound

barrier or changing of use function of housing price shall be taken to the existing buildings to reduce

the effect of traffic noise on the lives of residents.

7.4.2.2 Conclusion of noise assessment in operation period

As can be seen from the result of noise predication, comparing with the monitoring result of

noise status, the effects of traffic noise on the sensitive spot of each road segment are all standard

recently, one sensitive spot of public traffic priority corridor of Hongqi Avenue exceeds 0.72dB (A)

in middle-term, and public traffic priority corridor of Youyi Road exceeds 0.94dB (A). As can be

seen from the result of predication, the maximum exceeding value is 1.82dB (A). The effect of traffic

noise on sensitive spot is mainly in the specified future after the project operation, and most of the

sensitive spot can meet the requirements of Class 4a, Class 2, Class 1 and Class III of Environmental

Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). Construction noise and transport noise to be made

during the construction of the project can be minimized by strengthening management and taking

blocking and noise reduction measures, and the noise in construction period will be ended with the

input of specific projects such as traffic planning.

The noise environmental impacts are mainly the traffic noise increased with the increase of

traffic volume, and running noise of planned facilities in hub station in the short and medium term of

project implementation. The traffic noise avoids the sensitive spot by selecting lines reasonably, and

Page 160: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

152

such measures as sound barrier, sound proof window, greening, and removal are taken according to

the predication, monitoring is conducted during operation period; the site of hub station shall be

selected reasonably to make the noise at boundary up to standard, which can minimize the effect of

noise environment.

Passenger capacity of rail traffic is planned to be increased after the complete coverage of rail

traffic in the specified future to replace a considerable part of ground traffic (bus, taxi, private car),

which will reduce the traffic noise of vehicle running on the road to mitigate the noise environmental

impact.

7.5 Analysis of Impact on Urban Ecological Environment and Ecology Landscape

Urban landscape is a complex of natural landscape, building landscape and cultural landscape;

urban landscape ecology is required to coordinate the relationship between natural landscape,

building, development urban resources, economy development and protection of ecological

environment to make the urban develop orderly and deal with the urban ecological disease, forming

the positive cycle of urban ecosystem.

After the completion of the project, greening in the periphery of the road will be strengthened,

which will bring comprehensive environmental benefits such as pavement protection, reducing of

water and soil loss, reducing of traffic dust and noise, and adjusting and improving road

microclimate; building landscape design shall be provided for the parking of the public traffic hub

station, and its greening and urban landscape shall be deployed reasonably to easy the riding

impatience and fatigue so as to improve the landscape environment along the line and beautify the

city.

(1) The feeling to the urban landscape is mainly from the overall city appearance, and a large

part of city appearance is the urban road and public utilities. The project mainly includes urban major

road, minor road, and public traffic hub station. Therefore, the appropriate greening in the periphery

and interior of the above facilities cannot only beautify the city appearance, but also can reduce the

sense of oppression made by the building. Blue sky and green trees are all calm colours and can

make people calm.

(2) Plant is one of factors to create urban beautiful space. Colourful street landscape can be

Page 161: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

153

formed by the full-bodies characteristics with different varieties of trees, ornamental period, and

configuration method with the combination of street lamp, flower bed, and garbage bin by taking

advantage of many aesthetic factors such as line, shape, and colour unique to the plant, and seasonal

change.

(3) Road greenbelt can ornament the city and highlight the architectural art of the street; and

can meet the demand of high-rise housing residents for greenbelt.

To sum up, the reasonable greening configuration will increase the aesthetics of urban, beautify

the city appearance, and give person a sense of comfort after the completion of the project.

7.6 Analysis of Impact of Road Snow Removal on Environment in Operation Period

De-icing salt which is made of chloride is mostly used as the snow-melting agent in winter in

northern area. After such snow-melting agent dissolves in water, the ion concentration in water will

increase to drop the liquid phase vapour pressure of water with the solid phase vapour pressure of ice

unchanged. In order to make vapour pressures of solid phase is equal to that of liquid phase in case

of balanced coexistence of ice water mixture, the ice will melt. The ice and snow can be removed

with snow-melting agent, which, however, has hazard to the environment, such as the greenbelt and

farmland at both sides of road, corrosion of roads, bridges and other highway facilities, pollution of

underwater resources. Due to the great harm of snow-smelting agent to the environment, Harbin

municipal government has developed snow removal plan in winter recently, which is only for the 56

slopes that exclude the three corridors the project.

The snow on the three corridors of the project will be removed by the snow sweeper rather than

snow-melting agent in winter, and ice and snow removed shall be transported to the snow storage.

Road waste snow of public traffic priority corridor of Xinyang Road in winter shall be

transported to Guxiang snow storage (right of road of Xujia old airport), road waste snow of public

traffic priority corridor of Youyi Road in winter shall be transported to Tuanjie Town snow storage

(left of Gongtianheng Street of Ash River), road waste snow of public traffic priority corridor of

Hongqi Avenue in winter shall be transported to Zhangjiang Road snow storage (right of 6 kilometres

of Aha Road). The three snow storages are left unused without any residents or industrial workshops

nearby, so there is large space to store the waste snow.

The snow on public traffic corridor is stored in the snow storage in winter. A lot of snow

Page 162: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

154

infiltrates into the underground or flows away along the ditch on the basis of surface condition after

the snow melts with the warm weather, and less waste snow flows into the surface drainage and then

to the underground pipe network after melt. The snow removal unit shall be responsible for

protecting the environment of snow storage in order to avoid excess surface water due to large

amount of snow.

Xiangbin Road Hub Station, First and Last Bus Station at Qunli First Avenue, and First and

Last Bus Station at Hexie Street cover 34801 ㎡, 14406.3 ㎡, and 3071 ㎡ respectively with small

floor space, which helps the snow removal in winter. Due to the high human traffic and vehicle

traffic of the three stations, the road within the station will be muddy with the use of snow-smelting

agent, which will bring inconvenience to the human traffic and vehicle traffic, so it is still necessary

to clear. The accumulated snow of the three stations shall be removed by the appointed snow removal

unit without using snow-melting agent, and the removed snow shall be handled by the snow removal

unit so as to ensure the normal operation of public traffic hub and first and last station.

7.6 Analysis on Environmental Risk in Operation Period

7.6.1 Environmental Risk of Three Public Traffic Priority Corridors

After the completion of public traffic priority corridor, traffic accident rate will be reduced

greatly because of separation facilities, orderly traffic, and improvement of road condition. However,

the traffic accident rate is still at a certain level due to the increase of vehicle flow.

As can be seen from the current transport condition, the vehicle transporting fuel and chemicals

take an important proportion. Due to the objective existence of hidden dangers of traffic accidents,

the environmental risk caused by the traffic accident also exists objectively. Therefore, the hazardous

articles may leak or explode during transport. If it happens, it will bring severe environmental risk to

the surface water environment, ambient air, and residents along the line.

The traffic accident rate will rise greatly due to the low visibility and slipper road in case of bad

weather such as heavy fog and rain and snow. The vehicle to which the traffic accident happens can

be seen on the road after each snow.

7.6.2 Environmental Risk of Public Traffic Hub and First and Last Station

The public traffic hub and first and last station of the project is mainly for the office work at

Page 163: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

155

station, waiting for the bus of the public, driver’s rest, bus parking, and cleaning and maintenance of

bus. As can be seen from the above, the environmental risks of public traffic hub and first and last

station are mainly the effect of building fire and repairing and painting of maintenance workshop on

the air and the worker’s health during operation period.

7.6.3 Environmental risk of gas filling station in Xiangbin Road Hub Station

The main hazards and harmful factors of gas filling station in Xiangbin Road Hub Station

include fire, deflagration, suffocation poisoning, mechanical injury, electric injury and accidental

injury, etc. Explosion is the greatest andmajor hazard and can cause the maximum losses. The

occurrence of risk accidents is subject to the following three conditions:

(1) A large amount of leakage of natural gas;

(2) Natural gas leakage has not been effectively controlled, the natural gas rapidly diffuses and

spreads and accumulated concentration gradually reaches the explosion limits;

(3) Natural gas exposed to heat source or open fire.

During the process of design, construction and equipment selection, give sufficient

consideration to risk factors, strengthen the daily management of station and then the possibility of

natural gas leakage becomes very small; on the other hand, once natural gas leaks, as long as they are

found in time and correct emergency measures are taken to control and limit the gas concentration to

reach the explosion limits, explosion and fire can be effectively controlled.

maintain the local environmental quality and protect environment and the social and economic

sustainable development coordination.

Solutions:

①Preventive measures are taken to the dust, noise and ecological impact made in construction.

The construction to the sensitive point around which there are schools, residents, and hospitals shall

be more strictly required, which shall be fully considered in the measures, and the sign shall be

placed at the places where the construction is executed with content, contact person, complaint

hotline indicated. Detailed environmental management and environmental monitoring plan shall be

made.

②The issues about pedestrian’s safety when crossing the street are taken into consideration in

the design of each project completely and then solved.

8.3.4 Public Participation and Conclusion

The internet publicity and public questionnaire are adopted for the public participation during

the assessment. No objections are put forward by the public during internet publicity. The

construction unit propagandizes and explains to the directly affected masses, widely asking for the

opinions of local residents. People surveyed all support the project construction without any one

opposing.

As can be seen from the statistical analysis of the questionnaire, the public strongly supports the

project construction, considers that the project can promote the local economy development, and

provide job opportunity. The public concerns about the noise pollution, dust pollution, ecological

damage, and resources loss in view of the effect of the project construction on the environment, they

have high environmental awareness and it is recommended that the greening, sound barrier, and

other measures shall be taken to mitigate the environmental impact.

Suggestions for public

transport vehicle

(1) If Spraying the snow-melting agent, the snow-melting agent contains salt, which

may corrode the floor of carriage made of iron.

(2) Non-slip mat: there will be thick layer of ice on the floor of carriage in winter, if

place the plastic non-slip mat, the non-slip mat will be frozen with the ice, which will

lose the anti-skidding function. And the anti-skidding layer will be damaged after the

long-term use.

(3) Using anti-skidding ground in the bus can avoid the impact of frozen c non-slip

mat.

The environment impact assessment advices to use anti-skidding ground in the bus,

and place and fix the anti-skidding carpet at the step to avoid the passenger falling due

to the slipping of carpet.

(4) Make the passengers confirm the starting points, target and their location in the

space easily through some spatial form (such as increasing the major channel

connecting each space, and the atrium space as the center of space), elements (light,

color and material etc.). Try to guide the people through construction method, instead

of simply using the guardrail and rope to channel the people.

(5) Provide the comfort waiting space (which is bright and has enough seats and the

function of keeping out wind and rain); the stair width, anti-skidding measures and the

number of escalator shall coordinate with the passenger flow volume, besides, the

setting of infrastructure such as air conditioner, washroom in the transfer hall shall

also be considered.

9.6 Suggestions from social assessment

1、Further strengthen public participation

Public participation activities of the early preparation process of the project have gained some

good effects, and social assessment team also has timely reflected the public issues and good

suggestions to the feasible unit and PMO three times. In the following process, it is better to make

more detailed public participation schedule, open information in time and strive for the most

widespread public support. Meanwhile, improve the project management through absorbing public

advices and suggestions.

2、Increase the Transparency of Project Information

The early investigation found that, although open information of the project has achieved good

effects, there are still some blind angles and imperfections, part of institutions and public still do not

get a clear perspective of the project. Therefore, the SA team suggest to open information through

Internet, television, newspaper and showcase. Introduce the progress of the project, promote the

meaning of project and increase residents’ sense of belonging.

3、Measures and Suggestions to Promote the Anti-poverty

The survey found that the low-income population is most sensitive to fare increases.

Hypothetically, a low-income person takes bus twice a day, the expense (1 yuan once, 2 yuan a day)

will occupy 16.7% of his (her) monthly income. If the fare were double, then the transportation cost

would occupy 33.3% of his (her) monthly income. Thus, we advise government of Harbin City to

implement fare reduction policy to the people who below the poverty line.

Nowadays, there are a lot of cities in China have implemented riding preferential policies for the

disabled, as well as some cities in Heilongjiang province. But as a provincial capital city of Harbin,

there are no riding preferential policies for the disabled (except disability soldier) without

consideration of disable type and level of disability. This induces some disabled people of Harbin

have a lot of complaints. Because this increase their cost of living invisibly and majority of them live

poorer. Objectively, it also affects the development of Harbin as the image of international

metropolis. We suggest Harbin city government to consider the difficulties of this group of people,

Page 221: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

213

and give them some discount or subsidies gradually according to the type and level of disability.

4、Recommendations for specific project construction content

After sorting out, the social assessment team set forth 46 suggestions regarding project

design and management, which are fed back to feasibility study units and owners units.

Among these suggestions, there are 25 suggestions have been accepted by management

authority, 14 suggestions have been included in the feasibility study report by feasibility

study design unit and 7 suggestions are not adopted as reasons in terms of economy,

technology, etc.

5、Mitigation Measures and Suggestions for Environment Impact during The Construction

Mitigation measures for traffic impact. Take this factor into full consideration when making

project implementation and require particularly busy roads’ requirements to avoid the rush hour

(such as night transport to ensure there is no traffic congestion during day time).

Reduce dust. We advice that when constructing under the continuous good weather and wind

conditions, spraying some water to the heap soil to prevent dust, and constructors should carry out

cleaning policy for the construction sites.

Control noise pollution. To reduce construction impact on nearby residents, project should not

allow construction from 11pm to 6 am the next day within the area where is not far more than 200

meters away from residential. And construction equipment and methods should be taken into

consideration and instrument which low noise is needed should be preferred. To the project must be

constructed at night, which will affect surrounding residents; noise reduction measures should be

carried out. And at the same time, temporary facilities can be set up around construction sites or

residential to ensure the quality of living environment.

Restore greenery on municipal roads. After completion of construction, damaged roads and

landscaping should be recovered as soon as possible so that avoids affecting urban function.

6、Suggestions to Intensify The Unified Management of Bus System

Currently, Harbin city bus system composition is complex; there is a mix of state-owned units

and private stock enterprise, and individual vehicles on some lines. Nearly 30 bus companies in the

Page 222: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

214

city, procurement of vehicle model is multifarious, specifications also differ, and even the execution

of the charging standard is not unified. We suggest that the Harbin city should strengthen the unified

management, such as vehicle centralized purchasing, unified logo, unified car color, uniform charge

policy, for vehicle maintenance.

10.3 Environmental Impact Analysis and Assessment

10.3.1 Social Environment

(1) Save travel time, promote the city's economic development

After implementation, the project will greatly improve the traffic speed of stream of people in

the city, save travel time of traveller, improve the efficiency, and let them create values for the

society.

Besides, with the development of society, people’s living standard improves continuously,

proportion of private cars has increased, petrol and gas filling difficulty and parking difficulty have

become the problems that the messes have to face at present stage, and it is inevitable that

construction of petrol and gas filling station and public parking lot will greatly alleviate the existing

contradictions. Meanwhile, the construction of public traffic hub will inevitably bring more smooth

people and logistics communications, promote the economic development of Harbin.

(2) Reduce automobile exhaust emissions, reduce noise

After completion of the project, average speed of automobiles traveling on road will increase on

different degrees, with the reduction of traffic congestion phenomenon, vehicles can always keep a

constant speed, and the times of start and whistle will decline sharply. For automobile produces

minimum exhaust emissions when traveling at constant speed, so the exhaust emissions and noise

will be reduced greatly on the condition that vehicle type and fuel etc. are all the same, this will play

an important role in improvement of urban air quality and noise environment quality. The

construction of public traffic hub station will reduce the usage rate of private car and automobile

exhaust emissions.

(3) Promote urban competitiveness, improve competitive environment and attract external

investment

Develop regional road traffic resource, strengthen construction of integration of road traffic

Page 227: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

219

facilities will have deep influence in promoting the healthy development of urban development and

various social causes of Harbin. After completion, the project will inevitably strengthen the external

image of the city further, improve competitiveness of the city and attract more external investment.

10.3.2 Urban ecological environment

(1) After the completion of the project, greening in the periphery of the road will be

strengthened, which will bring comprehensive environmental benefits such as pavement protection,

reducing of water and soil loss, reducing of traffic dust and noise, and adjusting and improving road

microclimate; building landscape design shall be provided for the parking of the public traffic hub

station, and its greening and urban landscape shall be deployed reasonably to easy the riding

impatience and fatigue so as to improve the landscape environment along the line and beautify the

city.

(2) Excavation of roadbed and disturbance of spoil ground during construction will increase

the water and soil loss along the line, which may be reduced by taking environmental protection

measures such as reasonable construction method, tree planting and landrection.

To sum up, after construction and completion of the project, taking eco-compensation measures

may reduce the impact of project construction on ecological environment. Planting and reasonable

allocation of vegetation will increase the aesthetic perception of the city, beautify the appearance of

city and make people comfortable.

10.3.3 Water environment

During operation period of project, sewage discharged by newly-built public traffic hub, first

and last station and warranty shop mainly comes from oily wastewater, produced during vehicle

maintenance, vehicle washing wastewater and staff domestic sewage, the water quality is relatively

simple, the sewage will finally enter into municipal wastewater treatment plant through urban

sewage pipe network after treatment, and will have no impact on peripheral surface water.

10.3.4 Acoustic Environment

(1) During construction, many sensitive spots are close to the boundary of construction site,

these people will be influenced by construction noise and mechanical vibration, but the sound source

only lasts for a short period; in order to reduce the impact of noise and vibration on the residents and

Page 228: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

220

buildings along the line, the construction unit shall control the distance between construction point

and residential area according to the conditions of construction site, take necessary measures against

noise and vibration, reduce night construction and reduce the adverse impact of construction noise

and vibration.

(2) Operation period

As can be seen from the result of noise predication, comparing with the monitoring result of

noise status, the effects of traffic noise on the sensitive spot of each road segment are all standard

recently, one sensitive spot of public traffic priority corridor of Hongqi Avenue exceeds 0.72dB (A)

in middle-term, and public traffic priority corridor of Youyi Road exceeds 0.94dB (A). As can be

seen from the result of predication, the maximum exceeding value is 1.82dB (A). The effect of traffic

noise on sensitive spot is mainly in the specified future after the project operation, and most of the

sensitive spot can meet the requirements of Class 4a, Class 2, Class 1 and Class III of Environmental

Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008). Construction noise and transport noise to be made

during the construction of the project can be minimized by strengthening management and taking

blocking and noise reduction measures, and the noise in construction period will be ended with the

input of specific projects such as traffic planning.

The noise environmental impacts are mainly the traffic noise increased with the increase of

traffic volume, and running noise of planned facilities in hub station in the short and medium term of

project implementation. The traffic noise avoids the sensitive spot by selecting lines reasonably, and

such measures as sound barrier, sound proof window, greening, and removal are taken according to

the predication, monitoring is conducted during operation period; the site of hub station shall be

selected reasonably to make the noise at boundary up to standard, which can minimize the effect of

noise environment.

Passenger capacity of rail traffic is planned to be increased after the complete coverage of rail

traffic in the specified future to replace a considerable part of ground traffic (bus, taxi, private car),

which will reduce the traffic noise of vehicle running on the road to mitigate the noise environmental

impact.

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

221

10.3.5 Ambient Air

Impact in road operation period is mainly the impact of automobile exhaust on the ambient air.

After completion of project, motor vehicle exhaust will bring certain influence to air

environment belt along the road with increase of traffic volume. While, when analysis from the

whole regional environment of Harbin, since the proposed project can improve the traffic congestion

of Harbin, with the increase of vehicle speed, total amount of discharge of pollutants in vehicle

exhaust will certainly be reduced, and will change the distribution of vehicle discharge in urban area.

With the increase of vehicle exhaust pollutants along the proposed project, vehicle pollution of other

roads will be reduced due to project shunting. And the vehicle exhaust can be relieved by

strengthening of vehicle design, development of manufacturing technology and constant using of

clean energy. In general, the impact of vehicle exhaust to quality of ambient air along road during

operation period is relatively small, and can be accepted by external environment.

10.4 Main Environmental Protection Measures Proposed in the Assessment

10.4.1 Construction Period

(1) Ecological environment

According to the characteristics of regional environment, the ecological environmental

protection measure of the project is mainly prevention and recovery, including vegetation protection

and compensation, soil and water conservation. After taking corresponding measures, adverse impact

caused by construction may be relieved, offset and recovered to a certain extent.

(2) Acoustic environment

Noise effect in construction period is short-term act. Strengthening construction organization

and management is the main way to prevent and relieve noise effect. The temporary construction site

shall be far away from sensitive spots such as residential area, school, etc. Where there are

centralized residents within 50m from the construction access, transporting building materials is

prohibited in the access at night. For other sensitive spots along the line, strengthen construction

management and avoid night construction will reduce the impact of construction noise.

(3) Surface water environment

The impact on water environment in construction period can be reduced by strengthening

Page 230: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

222

management. Impact caused by bridge construction can be reduced by using advanced and

environmentally friendly construction technology, reasonable arrangement of construction camp,

construction site and building materials storage yard. Domestic sewage and household garbage from

construction camp along the road shall be uniformly collected and disposed. Domestic sewage shall

be treated in septic-tank and discharged into the municipal pipe network, and the household garbage

shall be stored in centralized storage yard.

Construction materials such as asphalt, oil plants and chemicals should not be stored in open air.

Temporary canvas shall be provided to prevent them from entering into municipal pipe network due

to wind and rain storm, finally contaminating the surface water environment. Taking the following

measures will minimize the impact of road construction on the surface water environment along the

line.

(4) Ambient air

In order to prevent and reduce atmospheric contamination in construction period, it is proposed

to water the unpaved road and powdery materials storage yard to suppress dust; asphalt and lime soil

mixing station shall be reasonably located beyond 200m in downwind direction of sensitive spot and

shall be fully enclosed. The asphalt mixing station shall be provided with flue gas removal system

and the lime soil mixing station shall be provided with dust removal system. Transportation and

temporary storage of soil, cement, lime and other bulk materials shall be protected against wind to

reduce dust. According to weather conditions, exposed construction roads and construction sites shall

be wetted regularly. After taking the above measures, the impact of road construction on ambient air

along the line will be effectively controlled.

10.4.2 Operation period

(1) Acoustic environment

For sensitive spots exceeding standard in operation period, noise reduction measures shall be

taken according to the environment characteristic of sensitive spots and exceeding standard

conditions. According to the specific conditions of sensitive spots, sound proof window, barrier and

green belt shall be provided at different sensitive spots exceeding standard to reduce the noise. In

addition, it is recommended that the local government fully consider the impact of traffic noise

caused by proposed project. Referring to the distance shown in the table of predicted range of noise

Page 231: Project Environmental Impact Reportdocuments.worldbank.org/curated/en/...Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and

Environmental Impact Report of Harbin Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project

223

at both sides of road in the environmental impact report, new sensitive buildings such as residential

building, school, hospital and gerocomium shall not be planned within 200m away from the road, to

ensure the traffic noise caused by the project will not have any impact on the life of people along the

line. House built by residents shall be far away from the road.

(2) Water environment

Sewage in vehicle maintenance shop is less and shall be treated in septic-tank and discharged

into the municipal pipe network, and finally into the urban sewage treatment plant.

Leaking or overloaded vehicles transporting bulk materials shall not run on the road to prevent

bulk goods causing water pollution. Ensure rainwater is discharged smoothly.

(3) Ambient air

Regularly monitor the exhaust conditions of parking lot to ensure exhaust up to standard.

Strictly implement the vehicle emissions inspection system and limit vehicle with exhaust gas

emission much over the standard to run on road. Strengthen tunnel ventilation and ensure the quality

of ambient air at tunnel exit.

10.5 Public Participation

The internet publicity and public questionnaire are adopted for the public participation during

the assessment. No objections are put forward by the public during internet publicity. The

construction unit propagandizes and explains to the directly affected masses, widely asking for the

opinions of local residents. People surveyed all support the project construction without any one

opposing.

As can be seen from the statistical analysis of the questionnaire, the public strongly supports the

project construction, considers that the project can promote the local economy development, and

provide job opportunity. The public concerns about the noise pollution, dust pollution, ecological

damage, and resources loss in view of the effect of the project construction on the environment, they

have high environmental awareness and it is recommended that the greening, sound barrier, and

other measures shall be taken to mitigate the environmental impact.
