Foreword
I. Project Background
In recent years, with the gradual implementation of the
strategic concept of the “New Silk Road Economic Belt” promoted by
the state government and the implementation of the traffic
breakthroughs in the Gansu section of the Silk Road Economic Belt,
and also with the unique geographic advantages of Wuwei City as
well as the implementation of policies of multi-levels, the
economic and social development of the counties under the
jurisdiction of Wuwei City stands at a new and higher starting
point. With the rapid improvement of the external highway traffic
system in Gulang County, the economic development of Gulang County
has entered a fast lane and also proposed new requirements for the
urban road network planning of Gulang County. In order to connect
the urban area with the industrial park in an organic way and to
form a peripheral loop and a framework network in the inner ring so
as to ensure the necessary production and living traffic in the
region, Gulang County has fully seized this historical opportunity
for its development and has proposed the construction of the Gulang
County-Shuangta Industrial Park Road Project and Xingminxin Village
of Xijing Town of Gulang County-S308 Route Road Project.
Wuwei is located in the inland area with a lack of mineral
resources as well as slow development. Not only is the gap between
the economic development of Wuwei and that of the eastern part of
China has been widened, but Wuwei’s economic development has also
fallen behind the overall development of the western China and
Gansu Province. In a regional development pattern where Wuwei would
fall behind if it does not advance, it is imperative to find
suitable ways for the development of Wuwei in the new century. With
the support of the central government and the provincial
government, Wuwei City has obtained the opportunity for the loan
from the World Bank. The obtained loan from the World Bank will be
mainly used to support Liangzhou District and Gulang County to
speed up the construction of the internal traffic environment,
improve the construction of the planned road network, improve the
service functions of the entire road network, divert the border
traffic and improve the living and ecological environment of
residents along the route.
In order to implement the requirements of the Law of the
People’s Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment and
Regulations on Environmental Protection of Construction Projects,
the Transportation Bureau of Gulang County entrusted our
institution (Ningxia Zhicheng Anhuan Technology Consulting Co.,
Ltd.) to undertake the assessment work of the project's
environmental impact. According to the requirements of
classification management in the Catalog of Classified Management
of Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects (June
1, 2015), the design standard of the Gulang County-Shuangta
Industrial Park Road Project is to expand the main road of the
city, and the project belongs to the project of the “new
construction and expansion of expressways and main roads of the 138
and urban roads; new construction and expansion of secondary roads
involving environmentally sensitive areas” of the T and urban
transportation facilities. Therefore an environmental impact
statement should be compiled. Xingminxin Village of Xijing Town of
Gulang County-S308 Route Road Project is the new urban secondary
road and road construction project and does not involve the Class
(1), (2) and (3) sensitive areas stipulated in the Catalog of
Classified Management of Environmental Impact Assessment of
Construction Projects and the Environmental Impact Statement Form
should be compiled. According to Article 5 of this document, the
environmental impact assessment of the compound construction
projects shall be determined according to the highest single grade
among them. Generally speaking, the environmental impact statement
should be compiled for this road project.
Upon receiving the entrustment, our institution dispatched
relevant technical personnel to conduct on-site investigation and
on-site survey, conduct data collection and carry out the
consultation research. The personnel also conducted in-depth
analysis of relevant issues related to the project in accordance
with the relevant state regulations and relevant requirements of
the environmental administration department. On this basis, the
Environmental Impact Statement on Gulang County-Shuangta Industrial
Park Road Project and Xingminxin Village of Xijing Town of Gulang
County-S308 Route Road Project was compiled and completed,
providing a scientific basis for the environmental protection and
administrative departments.

1.4 Identification of Environmental Impact Factors and Selection
of Assessment Factors
1.4.1 Identification of Environmental Impact Factors
(1) Ambient noise
The noise during the construction period of this project mainly
includes the construction machinery noise and vehicle
transportation noise. The noise during the operation period of the
project mainly includes the impact of the traffic noise generated
by the driving vehicles on the environment.
(2) Ambient air
In the construction period, the air pollution is mainly the dust
pollution which mainly includes the construction dust generated
from the site leveling within the red line of the road and from the
construction of subgrade, secondary dust caused by the driving
vehicles, as well as a small amount of exhaust gas generated from
the construction machinery fuel and the asphalt fume generated in
the paving stage of the road surface during the construction
period.
The impact on the ambient air during the operation period is
mainly the impact of the automobile exhaust.
(3) Water environment
There is no surface water involved within the assessment scope
of the project. The project does not involve the rivers.
(4) Solid waste:
There are no soil borrowing grounds for the two roads in this
project, but each has a soil spoil ground. The rubbish produced by
construction workers and abandoned earthwork belong to solid waste
pollutants, which will affect the surrounding environment to a
certain extent.
(5) Ecological Impact:
① Biodiversity
The area where the road from Gulang County to Shuangta
Industrial Park is located belongs to the urban ecosystem. The
project construction has little impact on the biomass and diversity
of species within the assessment scope mainly due to the influence
of the project land occupation.
Xingminxin Village of Xijing Town of Gulang County-S308 Route
Road Project is located in the southern margin of the Tengger
Desert with scarce vegetation, and the project construction has
little impact on the biomass and diversity of species within the
assessment scope.
② Soil and water conservation
During the project construction period, the excavation and
transfer of earthwork will cause a certain amount of soil
erosion.
(6) Social environmental impact
After the completion of the project, the roads will greatly ease
traffic and promote local economic development. However, this will
bring some negative impacts as well, such as traffic safety
problems and noise pollution.

side of the first row of buildings shall be classified as Class-IVa
standard applicable area; If the street buildings are the buildings
below three stories (including open areas) and the adjacent area is
the Class-II standard applicable area, the area of 35±5m outside
the red line of the road shall be classified as Class-4a standard
applicable area and the Class-II standard shall be implemented for
other areas. According to the field survey, the buildings on both
sides of the road of the Gulang County-Shuangta Industrial Park
Road Project are single-story buildings. However, considering that
there are mostly villages on both sides of the road and the
villages were built first, and that the acoustic environment
functional area of the villages cannot be changed after the
completion of the road construction of this project, therefore the
Class-II standard is implemented for the acoustic environment.
The Xingminxin Village of Xijing Town of Gulang County-S308
Route Road Project is the secondary urban road, and the surrounding
environment is simple, with no villages, schools and other
sensitive spots along the line, therefore the Class-II standard is
implemented for the noise.
Within the affected area of this project, there are no ethnic
minority gathering areas.
1.6.3 Environment of Surface Water
There is no surface water involved within the assessment scope
of the project.
1.6.4 Environment of Groundwater
According to the classification method of groundwater quality
classification in the Groundwater Quality Standard (GB/T 14848-93),
and the project has no deep excavation and high-fill section, the
project area is identified as the Class-Ⅲ groundwater environment
functional area.
1.6.5 Division of Ecological Functional Areas
According to the Division Chart of the Ecological Functional
Areas in Gansu, the project is located in the “38, the ecological
sensitive area of wind erosion and desertification in the farm land
of Gulang County”, and the division of the ecological function
areas is shown in Chart 1-1.
1.7 Assessment Levels and Assessment Scope
1.7.1 Assessment Levels
1.7.1.1 Assessment levels for the ambient air
The exhaust gas of the project mainly comes from the exhaust gas
and construction dust generated from the operation of transport
machinery during the construction period, and with less emission
and duration of emission, the exhaust gas has less impact on the
regional air quality. The gas pollution in the operation period is
mainly caused by the automobile exhaust and dust pollution caused
by the vehicle operation. The atmospheric diffusion condition in
the project area is good, so the pollution has little impact on the
environment, according to the Article 5.3.2.3.5 in the Technical
Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment-Atmospheric
Environment (HJ2.2-2008): For the new construction and expansion
projects mainly consisting of urban roads such as urban expressways
and main roads, the impact of the traffic sources on the
environmental protection goals of both sides of the road should be
considered, and the assessment level should be no lower than the
Level II. In accordance with the standard for the project design,
the standard for the road of the Gulang County-Shuangta Industrial
Park Road Project is the urban main road, and therefore the
assessment level for the atmospheric environment is identified as
Level II.
The road of the Xingminxin Village of Xijing Town of Gulang
County-S308 Route Road Project is the urban secondary road,
therefore the assessment level for the atmospheric environment is
identified as Level III.
1.7.1.2 Assessment levels for the acoustic environment
The project is located in the Class-II acoustic environment
functional area. After the project is completed, the noise mainly
comes from the road traffic noise. The added value of the sensitive
target noise level within the assessment scope before and after the
project construction reaches 5dB (A) or above. According to the
requirements of the Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact
Assessment-Acoustic Environment, the assessment level for noise is
identified as Level I. The basis for division of the assessment
levels is shown in Table 1-2.

the Class-0 acoustic environment functional area which is
applicable to the GB3096 regulation as well as the protected areas
with special restrictions on noise. Or the increment of the
sensitive target noise level within the assessment scope is above
5dB (A) (excluding 5dB (A)) before and after the construction
project is assessed, or there is the case where a significant
increase in the number of affected people occurs.
Level II
The acoustic environment functional areas where the construction
project is located are the Class I and Class II areas stipulated by
the GB3096 regulation. Or the increment of the sensitive target
noise level within the assessment scope reaches 3dB (A)-5dB (A)
(including 5dB (A)) before and after the construction project is
assessed, or there is the case where a significant increase in the
number of people affected by noise occurs.
Level III
The acoustic environment functional areas where the construction
project is located are the Class III and Class IV areas stipulated
by the GB3096 regulation. Or the increment of the sensitive target
noise level within the assessment scope is below 3dB (A) (excluding
3dB (A)) before and after the construction project is assessed, or
there is the case where relatively little change in the number of
affect people affected occurs.
1.7.1.3 Assessment levels for environmental impact of surface
water
During the operation period of the project, no production and
domestic sewage will be produced. During the operation, the roads
will only generate runoffs during the rainy season. According to
the project feasibility study report, this project sets up rain

1.8 Environmental Standard
1.8.1 Environmental Quality Standards
EHS is an abbreviation of Environment, Health and Safety. The
EHS Management System is the integration of the Environmental
Management System (EMS) and the Occupational Health and Safety
Management System (OHSMS). Since this project is the World Bank
loan project, the implementation standards should be combined with
the EHS standards. This assessment compares the quality standards
issued by the MEP and the EHS standards of the World Bank.
1.8.1.1 Ambient air
(1) The environmental quality standard of the MEP shall be
implemented as the Level II standard of the Ambient Air Quality
Standards (GB3095-2012). See the Chart 1-4 for more details.

2.2.4 Project Schemes
2.2.4.1 Subgrade Engineering
(1) Subgrade design
① Basis for design
According to the requirements for the natural conditions such as
topography, geomorphology, geology, hydrology and meteorology along
with the route as well as the environmental protection, and in
accordance with the regulations and codes stipulated in the Codes
for Design of Urban Road Engineering (CJJ37-2012) and the Codes for
Design of the Subgrade of Urban Roads (CJJ 194-2012) and with
further reference to the subgrade design and construction
experience of the constructed roads in Gulang County, the subgrade
design should be conducted in accordance with the principle of
adopting the local conditions and local materials. During the
construction, full attention should be paid to the quality of
subgrade construction to ensure the sufficient strength and
stability of the subgrade.
② General subgrade design
a. For the road fill sections, the miscellaneous fill and arable
soil of 50cm on the surface of the ground must be cleared. Within
the scope of the motor vehicle lane, if the depth of fill on the
top of the subgrade is less than 80cm, the overbreak should be
further conducted to the depth of 80cm below the top of the
subgrade and then the stratified backfilling and compaction shall
be conducted.
b. For the zero-fill and excavation sections, within the scope
of the motor vehicle lane, if the undisturbed soil is loose, the
foundation soil within the scope of 80cm of the roadbed shall be
further dug, then the stratified backfill and compaction shall be
conducted with the undisturbed soil to ensure the strength and
stability of the subgrade.
c. All the construction waste and domestic waste within the
scope of subgrade along the road should be completely cleared and
shipped out; The construction waste generated from the house
demolition and house structures within the scope of roadbed should
be cleared to the outside of the subgrade. No backfill should be
carried out with the refuse soil or miscellaneous fill within the
scope of roadbed. In the filling process, the thickness of
uncompacted layer shall not be more than 30cm.
d. Slope rate of the side slope
Fill slope: When the height of the fill of subgrade H≤8m, the
slope rate is 1:1.5; when the H> 8m, a level classification
platform is set every 8m, with the platform width being 2.0m. From
the top down, the slope rate of the first level is 1:1.5, and the
slope rate of the second level is 1:1.75, while the slope rate of
the remaining levels is 1:2.0.
The 1.0m-wide debris platforms are set up at the outside of the
sidewalks in the excavation sections. Excavation slope: The slope
rate is 1:1.0, and a platform is set up every 8m, with the platform
width being 2.0m.
e. The compactness, strength and particle size of the filler
should meet the design requirements, and the specific requirements
are shown in Table 2-3 and Table 2-4.

Modulus of resilience of soil base on top surface of roadbed:
The modulus of the roadway should not be less than 30MPa, and the
modulus of the sidewalk should not be less than 20MPa.
③ The steep slope embankment and fill-and-excavation junction
subgrade
For the fill subgrade on the natural slope which is steeper than
1:5, in order to prevent the lateral slip of the subgrade and to
ensure the stability of the subgrade, after the soil on the top is
cleared, the stairs shall be excavated and then the stratified
filling shall be conducted, with the step width being no less than
2.0m.
For the vertical and horizontal semi-fill and semi-excavation
subgrade, in order to reduce the vertical and horizontal uneven
subsidence of the subgrade, the overbreak and backfilling of the
excavation subgrade shall be carried out within the scope of 80cm
of the roadbed; For the fill subgrade, when the ground gradient is
steeper than 1:5, the measures of digging the steps shall be
adopted for the base, with the width of the step being no less than
2.0m, and the reverse slope inclined inward by 2-4% shall be dug at
the bottom of the steps. And the compactness of the embankment
shall be increased by one percentage point.
④ The treatment of low-filled and shallowly-dug subgrade
When the height of fill is ≤ 1.3m (pavement structure of 0.50m +
roadbed of 0.8m) and the CBR value of the scope of the excavation
roadbed does not meet the requirements, the overbreak and further
filling and rolling within the scope of 80cm of the roadbed shall
be carried out with the gravel soil, with the compactness being ≥
95%.
④ The treatment of culvert subgrade
For the scope of 2H(height from the ground to the culvert
platform) +3 m on both sides of the culvert platform of the open
culvert and the excavation scope of the ground, the gravel fixed
with cement of 3.5% shall be used for filling, with the compactness
being ≥ 96%.
⑥ Treatment of old and new subgrade and diagonal streets
To ensure the stability of the subgrade as a whole and to
prevent or reduce the uneven subsidence of the subgrade, first the
slope of the old subgrade shall be cut by 50cm and the earthwork
shall be abandoned as the abandonment. The earthwork from the
digging of stairs should not be treated as backfilling earthwork,
and the width of steps shall not be less than 1.5m and the slope
shall be set to be inclined inward with the rate being greater than
4%. The specific bridging treatment is listed as follows:
a. The compactness of the base shall be increased by one
percentage point to 91%;
b.The material used for the widened part is a type of
water-permeable material, namely the gravel soil;
c. Steps shall be dug at the filling and digging intersection,
and the bi-directional geotechnical grid shall be paved. The
geotechnical grid is the bi-directional geotechnical grid, with the
designed ultimate tensile strength being ≥ 50KN/m, and when the
elongation rate is 2% the tensile strength is ≥ 20KN/m. The
geotechnical grid shall be fixed to the steps with the U-shaped
steel nails, with the lap width being ≥ 30-60mm.
⑦ The treatment of special culvert subgrade
The K0+220-K0+800 section of the old road subgrade of the Gulang
County-Shuangta Industrial Park Road Project is the miscellaneous
fill, and the average height of fill is 2m. When the subgrade
strength can not meet the requirements, the treatment is the
excavation of the miscellaneous fill and the replacement with the
gravel soil. The widened part of the K1+400-K2+830 section is the
farmland section, with the base of high water content. The
treatment is the excavation of the gravel soil from the original
foundation.
⑧ The design of subgrade protection engineering
The project adopts the rhombic frame slope protection for the
road fill section with the height of fill being >2m.
(2) Subgrade and road drainage
The subgrade drainage is combined with the horizontal and
vertical alignment of the route, topography, geology and rainfall
characteristics, taking full advantage of the natural topographic
conditions. Different drainage facilities are set up to collect and
discharge the water.
Combined with the actual situation of the project, the Gulang
County-Shuangta Industrial Park Road Project shall be provided with
the C20 cast-in-place concrete rectangular subgrade ditches with
cover plates, with the size being 60cm×60cm. The foot of the fill
slope shall be provided with a row of C20 cast-in-place concrete
drainage ditches, with the size being 60cm×60cm. The side strip
shall be provided with an opening of 50cm width every 30m and shall
be reinforced with the C25 cast-in-place concrete to drain the
pavement water in the motor vehicle lane to the non-motorized lane.
After the collection of water by the water blocking zone, a rapids
trough (road fill sections) or subgrade ditch (excavation sections)
shall be set up every 30m to drain the pavement water from the
subgrade.
2.2.5 Pavement Engineering
2.2.5.1 Pavement structure
The proportion of small and medium-sized buses that make up the
traffic in this project is large, and the local climate type
belongs to the oasis-desert area of the northern arid region (Ⅵ).
Therefore, the road surface should have good resistance to high
temperature and low temperature. In order to ensure the usage
effect of the pavement, it is determined that 4cm fine-grained
asphalt concrete (AC-13) is adopted for the upper layer and the 6cm
medium grained asphalt concrete (AC-20) is adopted for the lower
layer, which is moderately cost-effective.
(1) Asphalt
The AC-13 fine-grained asphalt concrete has mature construction
technology, with high surface friction coefficient, good skid
resistance and low price. The project is recommended to be used on
the upper floor.
(2) Base layer and sub-base layer
The base layer is mainly subjected to the vertical force of the
vehicle load which comes from the surface layer and is diffused
into the underlying bedding layer and soil foundation. The base
layer should have certain strength and rigidity, and have good
stress-diffusion ability. Although the impact of the atmospheric
factors on the base layer is small, it is still possible for the
base layer to withstand the groundwater infiltration and rainwater
infiltration. Therefore the structure of base layer should have
sufficient strength, fatigue cracking resistance and erosion
resistance. In order to ensure the quality of the project, the
project uses the cement-stabilized macadam. The lime-fly ash
macadam can make full use of the industrial waste and protect the
environment. It has a low cost and low early-stage strength, and
the late-stage strength shall be greatly improved, but the water
stability is not as good as the cement-stabilized gravel. The
application of the cement-stabilized gravel is very common in the
local area. It has the advantages of high strength, good water
resistance and good combination with the asphalt seal. Though the
surface is easy to generate shrinkage cracks, the cracks can be
controlled by properly reducing the base layer modulus and
controlling the cement content. The construction technology and
quality control system is relatively perfect, and this project is
recommends the use of the base layer of the cement-stabilized
gravel.
The sub-base layer recommends the use of low-cost sub-base layer
of the cement-stabilized gravel.

(3) Convergence of old and new roads
At the junction of the current roads, the step-by-step filling
should be conducted for the newly constructed base layer and
sub-base layer to avoid the formation of the seal alignment from up
to down. The lap width of various structural layers is 50cm and can
be properly adjusted, but the appearance of seam should be avoided
which affects the lapping effect, and also the appearance of
obvious uneven uneven subsidence at the joints should be avoided.
The 1m-wide old pavement layer shall be excavated by first paving a
layer of fiberglass geotechnical grid and then paving the lower and
upper layers of the road.
The convergence of old and new roads is illustrated in the Chart
2-7.
