Chapter 1 General Provisions
1.1 Foreword
Suichuan linking road-a part of Jiangxi No. 2 highway financed by the World
Bank loan is an important entry-exit passage connecting Suichuan county, Jinggangshan
City with Gan-Yue Expressway. The construction of it will play a very important role in
realizing the hub function of Gan-Yue Expressway, improving local comprehensive
transport network. It provides an important basic condition of opening to the outside
world for Suichuan countv.
According to the requirements and suggestions of the World Bank experts, we have
made the Envirorunental Assessment Report for this linking road separately.
The Research Institute of Highway (RIOH) under the MOC completed the EIA of
Suichuan Linking Road (Version 1) for Gan-Yue Expresswav Taihe-Ganzhou Section in
June.2000. In accordance with the suggestions in the aide-memoire at the second
preparatory mission by the World Bank environmental experts for Jiangxi NO.2
highway. the RIOH made modification and compiled this EIA report.
In December 2000, the EIA team again modified this EIA report in accordance with the
aide-memoire at the pre-evaluation mission of Gan-Yue Expressway (Taihe-Ganzhou Section) of the
World Bank environmental experts.

1.4 Targets for Environmental Protection
The impact factors on the ecological environment are land occupation. woodland
vegetation damage, soil erosion, water quality pollution cause by bridge construction.
The protective targets include: farmland. woodland, pond. high filling/cutting section
(KO+000-K2+750.K4+200-K4+750). earth borrowing area (K14+400-K14+680).
Meijiang river and canals. The impact factors on acoustic and ambient air include
construction noise. secondary dust. Traffic noise and tail gas. The protective targets are
presented in Table 1-6.
As the construction of this road is the up-grade on the existing old road, no great
impact would occur from the point view of ecological environment.. The main impact
on the surrounding residents, schools and living comes from construction noise and
traffic noise as well as tail gas in operation phase. Therefore environmental protection
targets in this project are the sensitive locations to noise and ambient air along the
road.

1.5 Assessment Factors and Method
1.5.1 Assessment Factors
(1) Acoustic environment: equivalent acoustic level (A): LAeq;
(2) Atmospheric environment: NON, CO. TSP.
1.5.2 Assessment Method
In this report. the environment noise and atmospheric environment are assessed by
6
status monitoring and surveying statistic analysis, and predicted by analogic analysis
and module computation. The analogic analysis is used for the prediction assessment at
the construction stage, while the module computation is employed for the prediction
assessment in the operation stage. According to the predicted results, the range up to the
standard is given and used as a basis for the developmental activity conducted by the
planning / construction department. Meanwhile, the locations sensitive to noise / waste
gas environment are predicted and assessed.
The ecological environment, water, and soil-and-water loss are assessed by
surveying combined with analogic analysis, while the social environmnent, living quality
and public participation are assessed by surveying analvsis.
1.6 Assessment Category and Key Points
This works is the expanding construction and rebuilding project. There are
environmental sensitive locations as schools and residential areas along the road within
the range of assessment. The building of bridge has a certain influence on water
environment. but smaller influence on ecological environment and soil-and-water
erosion. According to Technical Guiding Provisions for Environmental Impacts
Assessment, it is required that the assessment of special subject is analyzed. in which
ecological environment (including soil-and-water loss) is assessed to be Category 111,
water environment and atmospheric environment be Category III respectively, and
acoustic environment be Category 11. According to features and pollution of this project,
the assessment of acoustic environmental impacts is a key point in the assessment of
this project.

very quickly: First, the speed of industrial economic development accelerates the
expansion of production scale. In 1998. the gross value of industrial output was up to
243.2 million Yuan (based on prices in that year): second. the sorts of industrial
production have been more complete. The local industrial system consisting of state /
town / individual industry has been established preliminarily in Suichuan county. where
the managerial mechanism has been suited to the law of market economy, with a better
economic benefit.

( Agriculture
Suichuan is characterized by favorable natural conditions. fertile land. abundant
produces and favorable conditions for agricultural production. In 1998. the gross value
of agricultural output was 753 million Yuan (based on prices in that year). The town
enterprises are new enterprises suddenly coming to the fore and have become a main of
rural economy. The output of main farm produces has been grown constantly. in which
grain and tea were 1 86.200t and 5,0t respectively.
a) Tourism
There are many historical relics and scenic spots in this county. In ancient times.
there were "Eight Landscapes in Spring Town" and many famous mountains and
beautiful waters, wonderful peaks and grotesque stones. ancient trees. temples and
ancient buildings etc. Meanwhile. Suichuan has been to be an old revolutionary base
area. with many revolutionary ruins and cultural relics, where a lot of historical sites
enjoy high reputation in China.

3.2.2 Review of current regional highway network
(1) Existent highways
There are 7 arterial highways in total in Suichuan county. 10 highways maintained
by the local highway management stations led by Suichuan County Communications
Department, with a total length of 156.78km. Suichuan Section of National Highway
105 is 50.14km long. Suichuan-Guidong provincial highway is 103.3km, in which a
section of this highway in the county border is 80.3kmn. Hengfeng-Jinggangshan
provincial highway is 57.87km, in which a section in Suichuan county to Fenshuit ao is
18.3krm. In addition, there are such arterial highways as Yutian-Xinjiangkou highway
(50.8km). Shui-Huang highway, Sui_Bi highway and Dao-Xian county highway.
(2) Water transport
Suichuan river is the most important course in this county and has a long history of
navigation. After 1980, trucks and tractors were increased quickly, thus the highway
transport has been increasing busy so that the goods source of water transport has run
short. In addition, the course has been silted up, so it is difficult to find any boats / ships
in Suichuan river in recent years.
3.3 Ecological Environment
3.3.1 Survey of animals and plants
The recovery of forest in Suichuan county is 67.5%. For the most part. the land
along this proposed road is cultivated and planted. And only a few of bush wood or
natural grassland exist. The bush wood consists of masson pine and azalea etc. On the
natural grassland grows the grass family and pteridophyte. The cultivation and
vegetation are crops on farmland, and only a few of woods. economic forest, fruit trees.
greening forest and scenic forest etc. Basically. the farmland vegetation is crops or
industrial crop. for examples: paddy rice., cotton and sugarcane etc.: the woods are pine,
China fir and bamboo etc.; the economic forest includes tea-oil tree. tung tree and tea
tree etc: the fruit trees are tangerine, peach. plum and orange etc; the greening forest and
scenic forest consist of Chinese parasol and willow etc.
14
The project region is characterized by various vegetation kinds and higher
vegetating recovery. However, under the influence of natural and artificial factors, the
natural broadleaf trees have been reduced, and the artificial coniferous trees have been
increased. For the most part, there are the charcoal-made forest taking masson pine as
main, and the economic forest taking kumquat and tea-oil tree as main, distributing
along the proposed road, without any special protected plants.
The area passed by the proposed road is a region where population is highly
concentrated, the farning activity is intensified. and most of animals are the species
suiting for dwelling of farmland and residential area, for examples: mouse species and
sparrow-like bird species. No rare wildlife has been found in the assessment scope.
3.3.2 Soil type
The soil in Suichuan county is divided into 9 classes (paddy soil. fluviatile loam,
purple soil. red earth, yellow brown earth etc) and 14 subclasses. The paddy soil is
461000mu. which takes up 9.78% of total area of soil in Suichuan county and is the
main farming soil; the fluviatile loam is 8200mu (0.17% of total soil area): the purple
soil is 112600mu (2.4% of total soil area); the red earth is 3 15200mu (66.84% of total
soil area); the yellow brown earth is 131 500mu (2.97% of total soil area).
3.3.3 Survey of land and crops resources
According to the statistic data in 1999, the arable land in Suichuan county is 27634
hectares. in which paddy field is 24737 hectares and dry farmland is 2897 hectares. i.e.
1.5m per capita. In this region, land is valuable and farmland is more precious. The
climate in the project area is temperate and the water temperature is suitable to grow
paddy rice. beans. cotton. sugarcane. tea-oil tree. sesame and tobacco etc.
3.3.4 Survey and assessment of water environment
Suichuan linking road will pass across Suichuan river and its tributary. Suichuan
river is one of 4 major tributaries of Ji'an section (trunk stream of Ganjiang trunk river).
whose catchment area is 3045 square kilometer. main river is 162km long and annual
average flow is 2894 million mi.
According to the survey. the local people take underground water as drinking water.
15
No water source taken as drinking water has been found in the assessment scope.

Chapter 4 Environment Impact Prediction & Assessment
4.1 Social Environment Impact Assessment
4.1.1 Social development and living quality
After the construction of the proposed road is completed, the standard of road will
be heightened considerably, the condition of road is improved greatly, the traffic
capacity is remarkably increased, and the transportability can be greatly improved. This
construction will provide a necessary provision for eliminating a traffic congestion,
reducing a traffic accident, promoting the quick exchange of commodities and
information between regions, improving the investment environment in this region and
further extending business by solicit investors to reinvigorate the economy.
With the improvement of communications condition after constructing this road.
the regional construction and development along the road can be promoted, and the
industrial structure and its layout in this region will tend to be more rationalized. The
industrial enterprises are gradually turned from large and middle cities to outskirts, so as
to make commerce, catering trade, tourist trade. building industry, transport service.
processing industry and breeding etc in the impact region develop quickly. With their
gradual rise and development, more chances of social employment will be provided for
people. and it produces higher economic / social benefit.
After the proposed road is put into operation. the economy in this region will be
developed quickly and the economic prosperity is promoted also. The development of
economy will improve the people's living environment and the residential living level.
4.1.2 Impacts on infrastructure facilities
During the construction phase. 129 wire poles and 8040m telecommunication wires
will be relocated. which has a certain impact on family lighting. and electric supply for
communication / town or village industry. Therefore, the protection and removal work
of the public service should be coordinated with the departments concerned before
construction start. Before removing, the electric power and communication lines should
18
be properly rebuilt to supply power for the surrounding residential area and village
enterprises to ensure their living not impacted..
4.1.3 Land acquisition, removal and resettlement
(I) Analysis of impacts on land acquisition
The farmland is 1.5m per capita in the region along the proposed road, thus the
arable land is very valuable. 818.4mu land is to be purchased and 71.25mu land is
leased for this project. The land occupation will have a certain impact on the
agricultural and forest production in this region along the proposed road. Due to the
social and economic benefit produced from the completion of this road construction, the
value of occupied land will change. Meanwhile. with the completion of the road project,
a new industrial zone will appear and the farmnland is turned to a non-agricultural land.
As viewed from economy, the value of land rises. In order to protect the valuable
farmland resource, it is suggested that the land management department should
strengthen the scrutiny and control of land use for all construction.
(2) removal and resettlement
For this road construction. 25549.5m2 of removal buildings with a concrete-brick
structure of 12785.7 m2 . cob brick structure of 12763.8 m2 will be removed.
The removal and resettlement are related to people's immediate interests.
Therefore, it is required that the construction departments must do well the removal and
resettlement work. By use of "Resettlement Action Plan" . the compensation methods
for land acquisition and the compensation sum for buildings removal are formulated.
The construction departments should be supported greatly by the local governmental
departments to do well the resettlement work. on the basis of following the whole
interests of this road construction.
4.1.4 Impacts on traffic safety and convenience
The proposed road is to be Class II highway. The road is open. so it provides a
good traffic environment for the surrounding residents. It should be noted that there are
3 schools on the sides of this road in the assessment scope. in this case. it is possible
that the students must pass through this road. Therefore, it is required that the road
19
construction departments should consider to set up the notice board " LOW SPEED " or
overpass bridge at the locations where the students often appear, in order to avoid any
traffic accidents.
4.2 Ecological Environmental Impact Prediction & Assessment
4.2.1 Impact of road-occupied land on pattern of land utilization
The land acquisition for Suichuan linking road amounts to 818.4mu (548.7mu of
paddy field). The occupation of farmland, especially paddy field, will give prominence
to the contradiction of " more population, less land " in the project region, and increase
a pressure on the rest farmland. The occupied land will have a short-term influence on
the income of farmers in the project region. In particular. it has a greater impact on the
land contractors in the local region. The land adjustment by the village-level
,overnment or a new industry developed by use of land compensation expenditure can
reduce this unfavorable impact. In addition, the urbanization effect produced by opening
this highway often makes a vast of good-quality farmland on the sides of this highway
be a nonagricultural land. so the farming production and land utilization will suffer. to a
certain extent. its impact.
At the construction stage, the temporary land use has a certain unfavorable impact
on the local agricultural production also. However, the temporary land use. relatively, is
lesser. and these land can be gradually returned to their original function by clearing and
cultivating after the completion of works. After the completion of highway. the land
which is not utilized is more easily to be developed. due to the traffic convenience. In
addition. the construction of highway will promote the economic development in the
whole region. and provides. to the full, the traffic and infrastructure facilities needed by
the farm produces production and the processing industry development. Meanwhile. it
offers increasingly an opportunity to employment for the local people also. In this way,
the local rural economy will be promoted to the deeper development, and the value of
land resource. in the form of utilization, can be converted.
20
4.2.2 Impacts of highway construction on animals and plants in project region
Because a part of highway is arranged in the farmland and forestland, the
vegetation will be damaged in the process of construction. After the completion of
highway, these damaged lands will be reclaimed and replanted in time.
The animal species in the assessment region, for the most part, are livestock,
poultry and a few of general wild animals, that they can grow in a poor environment and
have a stronger suitability for the artificial impact. The construction of highway will not
make their dwelling environment change more and interrupt their nornal living, so they
can sustain in the project region.
4.2.3 Impacts of soil-borrowing field and dump on ecological environmentIt is necessary to borrow 210266m3 soil for this highway without any waste. The
central borrowing areas located at left of K14+400-K 14+680 with a length of 250m and
150 in width, averaging 6m in height. It occupies woodland area of 56.25 mu with
borrowing volume 230,000m3. The borrowing areas are basically in line with the policy
and requirement as they located in hilly areas. As viewed from the protection of
ecological environment, it is required to level and reclaim the land damaged by earth
borrowing.
4.2.4 Impacts on water environmentThe road overpasses the Suichuan sub- branch and some small rivers and canals.
no large water intakes. The sewage from the workers life-area and pavement runoff in
operation may impact the water qualitv of the farmnlands surrounding, but no big impact
on the water quality of Suichuan river.
4.2.5 Impact on agricultural irrigation pattern
Suichuan linking road is innovation on the old road. 4 middle bridges. 5 small
bridges and 82culverts (averaging at 4 per kilometer) are to be built. The existing
agricultural irrigation pattern will be maintained basically, without any unfavorable
impacts.
21
4.3 Acoustic Environmental Impact Prediction & Assessment
4.3.1 Analysis of noise impact during construction
The main noise sources during road construction are such construction machinery
as hauling vehicles, road making machines and road-mixer etc. According to the
analogy of the assessment materials, the main machine noise attenuate with distance as
shown in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 Noise Value of the Main Construction Machines

Bulldozer 86 80 74 68 66 64.5 62 [ 60 56.5
Data source: EIA of Gan-V ue Expressway (Taihe-Ganzhou section), August,2000
We can see from the above Table:
) The general construction noise caused by hauling vehicles and road making
machinery etc has a quite big impart on the people in the area close to the construction
site (within 50m);but little impact on those 100m beyond. So the construction noise has
a greater interruption impact on schools and residential area within 50m from the central
line of the highway. Therefore. the construction department should pay attention to
rational arrangement of working time. avoiding class time and nighttime.
{ According to GB12523-90 INoise Limit at Construction Site, Higher noise
produced by construction machinery does great harm to operators. With an increase of
operator's working time, their impairments especially hearing impairment will take
place. in which some impairment are unable to cure. According to the related
information. it has been proved that the deafness caused by noise is related not only to
noise level but also to noise exposure time. In addition, the noise harm can make human
fall variously ill. Obviously. this kind of noise has a greater impact on operators and the
surrounding residents.

(3) Predicted results and assessment of traffic noise parameter-taken values
The predicated results of traffic noise of Suichuan linking road are shown in Table
4-3. According to Class IV standard in GB3096-93 (i.e. 70dB in dav time. 55dB in night
time), the distance that the traffic noise on the two sides of road conforms to the
standard is shown in Table 4-4 which shoes:
©0 Noise in day time during operation does not exceed the standard value.
02 The conformity distance of noise at night time in early and middle operation
phase is 20m. and 30m in the long-run operation phase.
(I Because this road section is to be the reformation of old road, and some
residential areas are distributed along the roadsides to make the current highway be
27
street, the traffic noise along the linking road will have a more directive impact on these
residences.

4.3.3 Prediction and Assessment of Environmental Noise At Sensitive Locations
The road section located and its corresponding ground surface covering conditions,
road structure. embankment / trench height, Limited long sound source of highwav.
landform / relief and other factors should be considered to correct the prediction of
environment noise at sensitive location. i.e. the predicted values of traffic noise are
superimposed onto the corresponding background value of acoustic environment. The
superimposition formula is:
L,t(I I:Nm. §rd r Io OI g (IO + I ,, 0 Lo¢".
According to individual acoustic environmental standard. the formula above is
used to calculate the environmental noise and its excess at each sensitive location. The
calculated results are shown in Table 4-5.
As shown in Table 4-5. (1) the environmental in day / night time at all residences
in the first period of operation does not exceed the standard value: (2) the noise in dav
time in the middle period of operation does not exceed either: Noise exceedance in
night time include six locations: Dongtang, Zhanftang, Meijiang.Sheshang. Chitang.
28
Zhuzitouxia ( Xitou) with max. exceedance of 0.3 dB; (3) the noise in day time in the
long-run operation phase does not exceed either; as to noise exceedance in night time, in
addition to the above six locations in the middle, there are 3 more as Jiangchexia,
Shanjiaoxia and Zhangliwu with exceedance of 0.4-2.4dB; (4) Zhangtang primary
school exceeds by 3.8dB at nighttime in early operation phase; (5)ln middle operation
phase, Hongshan central primary school and Sheshang primary schools exceed by
0.4dB, Zhangtang primary school exceeds by 5.5dB; (6) In long-run operation phase,
Hongshan central school primary and Sheshang primary schools exceed by 0.6dB,
Zhangtang primary school exceeds by 5.9dB.
From the above exceedance, traffic noise impact on the residential quarters is not
big, but Zhangtang primary school is quite impacted on the normal teaching. As the 3
schools are of small size where there are no boarding students, no assessment at night
has been done.

4.4 Ambient Air Impact Prediction & Assessment
4.4.1 Ambient Air Impact Prediction & Assessment During ConstructionAccording to the preliminary design, the linking road will be constructed
simultaneously with the main line, the asphalt and stabilizing earth-mixing plants can be
shared at one place, therefore not much impact on the surrounding place of the linking
road. However, the hauling of mixing materials will exert dust pollution.
During construction, hauling and loading/unloading of materials for road making
bring TSP pollution to the road area. According to the results from site monitoring of
dusting caused by the similar site vehicle hauling, it has been shown that TSP
concentration at 150m from roadsides exceeds Class 1I standard, which shows that
dusting caused by transport produces a higher pollution to the district along the road
construction.
4.4.2 Ambient Air Impact Prediction & Assessment During Operation(1) Meteorological Analysis of Pollution
Statistic data shows that yearly prevailing wind is ENE wind whose frequency is
12% in Suichuan county. shown in Table 4-6. The annual frequency of static wind is
23%. The annual wind velocity in Suichuan county is 1.9 m/s. Due to low wind velocity,
the condition of gas dispersion is poorer relatively. The atmosphere stability along the
line is dominated by D category flowed by E-F category.
(2) Calculation of Auto Tail Gas Pollutant Discharge Source Intensity
The gas-state pollutant discharging source intensity is calculated by the following
formula:

(3) Diffusion Model for Environmental Air Pollutant
(D When included angle of wind direction at line source is 0 < 9 <90°, the
32
diffusion model is:
CPR = ui S exp -(-() 2eXp[ ) - ) +expi(z+hj]|iu w,- : 2L y2c.2a

03 When wind direction is parallel to line source, the diffusion model is as
follows:

Because the atmospheric stability in the region is dominated by Class D which.
therefore is used for calculation in this assessment. As for calculation, the diffusion
parameter must be taken value according to Appendix B in HJ/T2.3-93 Technical
33
Guiding Provisions for Environmental Impacts Assessment: The value of wind velocity
is taken to be 1.9 m/s. The average height of earth filling and the width of roadbed for
Suichuan linking road are 2.Om and 12.Om respectively.
(4) Prediction of Vehicle Tail Gas Concentration Diffusing to Roadsides
The prediction of NQz. and CO concentration diffusion for Suichuan linking road
is shown in Table 4-7. Due to small traffic volume of Suichuan linking road and low
running speed , the discharge of NO,, is less and the tail gas concentration at 16m
from the pavement conforms to the standard.
Based on the prediction, CO in vehicle tail gas is very small.. CO concentration is
less than 10% of that stated in Class II standard of environmental air quality, so little
impact on atmosphere along the road.
Considering the small increase of pollution source, it can conduce that the NO.
and CO pollution have light impact on sensitive locations on the roadsides with no
exceedance.

4.5 Environment Impact of Building Materials Quarries and Transport
4.5.1 Excavation of building materials and transport means
The main quarries and transport of Suichuan linking road are as follows:
(1) Wangjiaping stone quarry: located at Nanxi township of Taihe county, the stone
34
hard and abound is used as pavement materials. There are tow transport means, one
is transport to Suichuan interchange(origin of the linking road) bv Gan-Yue expressway:
another is to transport to the destination by the national highway 105.
(2) Weishaba quarry: located at Zhuxiafengchang of Suichuan Bizhou township,
abound in hard tungsten stone with a storage of over 60,000 m3 . The stones can be
transported to the origin of the linking road by the country road, totaling 14km.
(3) Banei quarry: located at up-stream Suichuanjiang river in Baneicun of
Quanjiang town, abound in sand gravels which is used for base course, bottom base
course and structures for bridges and culverts. It is convenient for transport. A hauling
road of 200m will lead to the linking road.
(4) Cement . asphalt and steel: the cement is from Wan'an Cement Plant, asphalt
will be imported and the steel comes from Xinyu Iron & Steel Plant. All these materials
can be transported to the construction site by national highway 105.
4.5.2 Environmental Impact of the Materials Transport
(I) The above materials transport can all be transported to the construction site by
national highway 105 and country roads except that of sand. gravels which need
building a 200m hauling road. This will certainly increase the traffic crowding and the
likelihood of accidents. giving inconvenience to the people along the line.
(2) The new construction of hauling road and quarry excavation will bring some
damage to the landform and vegetation. The interrupted soil structure will reduce the
anti-erosion ability. thus causing soil erosion.
(3) The stone excavation adopts blasting which produce noise and vibration. The
hauling of the materials will exert noise pollution on the sensitive locations at the
roadsides.
(4) The transport brings to secondary dust pollution, including road dust and
spillover. particularly. in dry season when the pollution is more serious.
35
Chapter 5 Environmental Mitigation Measures
5.1 Design Stage
(1) In alignment design of the road, it tries to occupy less farming land, avoiding
poor geological sections and cultural/ historical sites.
(2) When designing bridges, culverts, drainage ditches, they take into
consideration flood discharge capacity of river, and not destroying local irrigation
system and preventing pavement runoff. From entering into river and canals.
(3) Selection of quarries, earth borrowing and waste areas are far away from
residences, schools or other sensitive locations.
(4) Planting works design has been done simultaneously with that of the main
works.
(5) Subgrade drainage and protection works have designed. such as intercepting
ditch. side ditch, berm, retaining wall. etc.. which not only stabilizing the road bed but
also preventing from soil erosion.
(6) The project has established Suichuan Countv Resettlement Office.
5.2 Construction Stage
(1) Occupied land should be planned and used in a proper way. temporary land
occupation size should be as small as possible, the occupied duration should be reduced
and the occupied land should be reclaimed promptly.
(2) waste is prohibited to be discharged into water body so as to prevent water
pollution. riverbed compression and blocking.
(3) The hauling vehicles shall not run on farmland and woodland.
(4) Water and soil conservation measures in construction phase are as follows:
O the earth-stone works shall avoid July- the storm season;
© Ladd platform construction method will be adopted so as to prohibit random
excavation on the slope;
36
(M) Reduce the damage to the vegetation and plant on time so as to restore
vegetation in the work site;
( In cut road section, a platform for heaping soil and broken rock should be set
up outside the side ditch and intercepting ditch shall be set on the slope of the cut.
®) Set aside the original surface soil if the borrowing area in woodland and
reclaim back after the completion of the construction.
(5) If large-size, residence exists within 1OOm from the construction site,
high-noise machinery shall be stopped from 22:00 to 6:00. The larger-size residences
are Dongtang (K7+000), Zhangtang (KlO+050), Meijiang towenship (Kl 1+100),
Shaoxi (Ki2+±300). Wanneiyangcun (Ki7+000), Zhuzitouxia (K20+600).
(6)At the time of day construction, it is necessary to take the temporary shielding
measures on the construction site within 150m where there are schools (Hongshan
Central Primary School, Zhangtang Primary School, Sheshang primary school), so as to
prevent the construction noise from impacting on the teaching. Meanwhile. the
noise-monitored points are arranged at the sensitive locations on the sides of
construction site.
(7) The hauling road should be far away from schools. hospitals and residents
concentration area. and can not pass through the locations sensitive to acoustic
environrment. If there is no way to avoid. temporary measures shall be taken or some
economic compensation through consultation with the local residents. Meanwhile. noise
monitoring shall be carried out for hauling road at Nanxi township in Taihe county,
necessary measures shall be taken in accordance with the monitoring results.
(8) To protect the health of construction workers. shift-working system is
recommended so that workers exposed to high noise have time to restore their hearing.
(9) The construction sites and quarries shall be sprinkled frequently or
covered .The contractors shall take sealed covering measures to prevent spillover
w hen hauling easily-flying materials. Meanwhile monitoring points shall be set up for
supervision to prevent TSP exceeding the standard. The bulk materials bank shall be
200m away from the sensitive places as schools and residential quarters.
37
(10) In dry season or without raining for a long time, the contractors are
required to spray water on temporary roads. In addition, the monitored point close to the
temporary construction road is arranged to make a random examination. Once any
problems occur, they should be solved in time.
(11) During construction, the Cultural Relics Law should be forcefully
publicized. Should any relics be found during construction, work should be stopped and
report immediately to local relics authority for identification. Construction may not
continue until the authority handle with it.
(12) During construction, traffic management should be enhanced. Effective
measures should be taken to prevent accidents.
(13) The solid waste and living sewage should be cleared and properly disposed.
(14) Construction workers should be educated not to damage wildlife, not to cut
trees at will.
(15) Complaint telephone number for environmental complains should be
conspicuously marked at the construction camp. For complaint problems. the local
environmental department shall be contacted and such problem should be handled
within 48 hours.
The above measures shall be implemented by contractors and specified in
bidding documents
5.3 Operation Stage
(1) Planting works will be completed simultaneouslv with the main works. strength
the road maintenance and planting works to prevent water and soil erosion.
(2) Water quality monitoring will be carried out in Meijiang river and
supplementary measures shall be taken in accordance with the monitor results.
(3) The acoustic environment monitored will be carried out at Dongtang.
Zhangtang. Meijiang village. Wannei.Yangcun. Zhuzitouxia (Xitou) and Hongshan
central primary school: ambient air monitoring will be carried out in Meijiang town.
then based on the monitored results, the proper environmental protection measures
38
should be taken.
(4) Sound barrier (take into consideration the fence wall of the school) will be built
at Zhangtang primary school to alleviate the noise impact. The sound barrier is of 1 50m
in length, 2.5m in height at a cost of 180,000 yuan.
(5) At the road sections where schools stand, "LOW SPEED" sign board or
overpass bridge should be set up to protect the safety .
(6) It is suggested that planning authority would not consider new residences
within 50m from the roadside, neither schools and hospitals or other buildings sensitive
to acoustic environment within 1 00m from the roadside.
39
Chapter 6 Alternatives Analysis
6.1 "Without the project" analysis
The traffic infrastructure of Suichuan County is rather backward without any
railways. The transport depends mainly on highways that are in low class, low speed
and poor road condition, causing traffic jam and frequent traffic accidents.
On the roadsides, there are many large-size village, township, schools, some road
sections are already becoming street. It will result in social, economic loss or even
serious environmental issues if there is no new construction of highway. For example:
vehicles are bumping on the poor roads with high homing. In addition, due to slow
speed, the increased tail gas worsens the air pollution. Traffic safety is another problem.
In sum, if no changes on the existing road, problems concerning social. economic and
environmental respect are becoming outstanding.
6.2 Alignment selection procedure
The design unit carried out the feasibility study in June. 1998. draw up the
alignment on the 1/10.000 map and made site reconnaissance. They also consulted
widely with the local government and relevant departments in respect of the draft
alignment and bridge location. A detailed survey has been done for the regional social
& economical development. traffic trend. municipal/county program. road condition and
take into consideration the tourism. Land occupation. resettlement and environmental
pollution. Based on this. the proposed road will be on the improvement and expansion
of the existing old road.
6.3 Environmental Benefits of the Proposed Project
As the proposed road will be on the improvement and expansion of the existing old
road. it is beneficial to agricultural ecological environment from the viewpoint of
farmland occupation. Land in this area is precious with so many people. it's very
important to reduce the farmland occupation, in particular. the permanent land
occupation.
The road construction. though brings traffic noise impact on some residents. but
release more residents and schools as Shaoxicun, Shaoxi primary school from noise, tail
gas and secondary dust impact on the old roads. So. it gains the public support on the
line.

concerns about the land acquisition. resettlement, economic compensation. construction
48
interruption. noise impact on school teaching in both construction and operation, traffic
security of the students due to the increases speed . etc. Therefore they put forward the
following requirements:
(1) Make public the compensation standard for land acquisition and deliver the
compensation fee directly to the hands of the households to be removed. Reassign the
farmland, make resettlement and residential building base promptly which shall not
below the former living standard .
(2) Take into consideration the security measures for students, such as "speed
limit" sign and change the direction of school entrance.
(3) The negative impacts as dust. tail gas and traffic noise shall be mitigated by
planting and building of sound barrier.
(4) During the design and construction of road. it is suggested to keep close
contact with the local to well arrange the locations of culverts. bridges and underpasses
and try use the local surplus labor as much as possible during construction.
8.3 Information Disclosures and Feedback
(1) Television, broadcasting. newspaper and bulletin should be used to release
information to the public regarding the significance. alignment, resettlement and
environmental protection for this project. The Owner has released related circular concerning
the environmental and resettlement in Nanchang Evening dated Oct.9. Jingangshan DadlY dated Oct
IO (Refer to Annex IV)
(2) All the environmental documents such as the EIA and EAP will be exposed to
the public. The Owner has put all environmental documents in Suichuan County
Reference room. The address and complaint telephone number were published in the
newspaper. In this case. the public can have access to related information not through
governrmental organizations.
(3) The Owner will set up EP complaint telephone in Suichuan County Resettlement
Office. a full-time person gathering and recording the public's complaint on
environmental protection. Upon receiving the complaints. the Owner will come to the
49
site to solve it along with Suichuan County envir-onmental protection department within
48 hours.
8.4 Brief Summary
The construction / design departments pay high attention to the public opinions and
give full consideration to their opinions in the road design.
As for the possible environmental problems caused by this project, the
environmental assessment department and the design department have presented the
corresponding measures as planting and diversions etc. More suggestions are as
follows:
(D At the design and construction stages of the proposed road, the departments
concerned should make contact with the local govermnents along the road. and adopt
their rational and feasible opinions in time.
(2) Promulgate by median of broadcast, TV, libraries, cultural center the state
policies related to resettlement and compensation, provide the free consulting place for
environmental protection documents and complaint telephone
(a) The governments along the road should handle affairs according to the national
policies. do well the surveving on land acquisition / removal families. designate the
building land and hand out the acquisition / removal fee to the removal families in time.
so as to ensure their living standard not to lower.
40 The environmental protection measures provided by the EIA should be put in
place one by one so as to minimize the impacts of road construction on environment.

Chapter 9 Assessment Conclusions
9.1 Social Environment
(I) The construction of proposed road will promote economic development, and
tourist resource development in Ji'an prefecture and Suichuan county; improve the
local investment environment; give impetus to the structural adjustment and
development of three major industries.
(2) The operation of proposed road will alleviate the pressure of the original
highway, improve traffic environment and decrease traffic accidents.
(3) Inevitably, the construction of proposed road will occupy some land and
farming land, but its impact is little on the whole. By means of land adjustment and
allocation as well as conversion of land use value, impacts caused by land occupation
on agricultural economy, can be reduced.
(4) It is necessary to do well removal and resettlement. And the policies of removal
and resettlement stipulated by the local government must be carried out conscientiously.
As this road is not a closed one. it has little impact on their living convenience of
residents along the road.
(5) The Owner shall enhance the promulgation of cultural relics. protection
measures should be take promptly in case there are underground cultural relics
discovered in construction.
9.2 Ecological Environment (including soil erosion, water environment)
(1) The status of ecological environment in the assessment scope of the proposed
road is good. Land occupied by the road is about 818.4 mu. whose types are paddy field.
dry farming land. pond. woodland and wild land etc. The road construction will make
agricultural economy suffer a certain loss. but cannot have obvious impact on the
distributing pattern of land and vegetation.
(2) The proposed road is an improvement on the old road. Therefore. the impact on
the landform caused by works as roadbed cutting and earth/stone filling is relatively
small.
51
(3) According to the survey, there are no wild animals sanctuary, neither
distribution of rare and endangered animals and plants in the districts along the
proposed road. The main impacts of this construction on vegetation are the woodland,
fruit trees, flower, grass, bush and crops within the land acquisition area during
construction. Meanwhile, agricultural produce will also suffer from artificial felling,
uprooting. burying and treading. These impacts above can be mitigated by planting.
(4) At the road construction stage and in the first year of road operation, the
excavated slope along the road will produce a certain amount of soil and water loss.
However, as this road is rebuilt on the old road. the design, construction. completion
and acceptance of protective works will keep pace with the main works, so actual soil
and water loss is very small. In addition, the road planting will make partial slope
restore its vegetation and reduce its soil and water loss.
(5) At the bridge construction and operation stages. the impact on water body is
smaller.
(6) The impact of the proposed road on the surrounding channels. ponds and
agricultural irrigation system etc is not great either.
9.3 Acoustic Environment
(1) The general construction noise caused by hauling vehicles and road making
machinery etc has a quite big impart on the people in the area close to the construction
site and excess road (within 50m);but little impact on those lOOm beyond. So the
construction noise has a greater interruption impact on schools and residential area
within 50m from the central line of the highway. Therefore. the construction department
should pay attention to rational arrangement of working time. avoiding class time and
nighttime.
(2) In the middle operation phase. noise exceedance at nighttime include six
locations: Dongtang. Zhangtang. Meijiang. Sheshang. Chitang. Zhuzitouxia (Xitou)
with max. exceedance of 0.3 dB: as to noise exceedance at nighttime in the long-run
operation phase. in addition to the above six locations in the middle. there are 3 more as
Jiangchexia, Shanjiaoxia and Zhangliwu with max. exceedance of 2.3-2.4dB, but not
much.
(3) Hongshan central primary school and Sheshang primary schools 60m away
52
from the road will exceed by 0.4-0.6dB in daytime in the middle and long-run operation.
Zhangtang primary school close to the road exceeds by 3.8-5.9dB in the operation
phase. The EIA recommends the building of sound barrier of 1 50m in length and 2.5m
in height.
(4) Noise monitoring will be carried out for those locations with no exceedance but
close to the proposed highway, where there are large residential quarters and schools
and corresponding measures will be taken in accordance with the monitoring results.
9.4 Ambient Air
(1) The monitored and surveyed results have shown that NO\ and TSP pollution
along the proposed road is light, and NO, has much leeway for environmental capacity.
The most places passed by this road are countryside fields where environmental air
quality keeps up the natural level. no large -size stationary pollution source and current
environmental air quality is good.
(2) As the asphalt-melting and lime-earth mixing plants are located at the main line,
the main environment pollution during the construction are TSP. Spray water and
clean the construction road in time. The hauling vehicles should be covered. The
material store should be far away from residences and be covered. And the roadbed is
timely watered during filling to reduce the unfavorable impact to certain extent.
(3) According the prediction. NO, concentration at 16m from the central line of
Suichuan linking road conforms to Class II standard value.
(4) CO concentration at 16m from the central line of Suichuan linking road satisfies
Class II standard limiting value also.
(5) NOx monitoring will be carried out for Meijiang Township in the middle and
long-run operation phase and corresponding measures will be taken in accordance with
the monitoring results.
9.5 Public Participation
(1) Make public the policies and compensation standard for land acquisition and
resettlement, deliver the compensation fee directly to the hands of the households to be
removed. Reassign the farmland. make resettlement and residential building base
promptly which shall not below the former living standard.
