1. General
1.1 Project Background
Yunnan is a Province integrating border, mountainous, diversified ethnic
nationalities. In recently year, the Province is experiencing rapid
socio-economic growth, economic restructuring and changes of development
pattern. Opening up & reform and science & technology advance have
become impetus to promote local economic development. On Oct. 28, 2005,
the State Council promulgated “A Resolution of the State Council on greatly
development of vocational education” which defined guiding ideology,
objective, task and policy interventions for vocational education to reform and
develop. Development of vocational education became an important
foundation and a strategic keystone in socio-economic development. It was
decided to develop vocational education with Chinese characteristics to speed
up fostering laborers with high technical skills and competency. Yunnan
Province intend to enhance relevance of Yunnan’s TVET to local economic
development, enlarge TVET scope, improve quality of TVET and to educate
more skilled talents to respond the increasing needs of labor market,
especially in the key industrial cluster sector. A series of plans, policies to
promote TVET reform and development were made and funds input on TVET
were intensified. Even though, there is an urgent need to introduce loans and
knowledge from international financial institutes to build and improve its both
hardware and software. Through the use of such loan, Yunnan would also
explore the new concept, new mechanism and new approach in developing
TVET that is adaptive to Yunnan’s conditions.
With the approval of the State Council, the application of the People’s
Government of Yunnan for financing Yunnan TVET has been included into
candidate projects of the World Bank lending program in fiscal year 2012.
The World Bank has completed its identification to the proposed Project. In

viewing that the Project will include such construction activities as upgrading
facilities and equipment, constructing new training centers/school
buildings/laboratories, and rehabilitating existing buildings within the
campuses of 9 existing schools, according to the World Bank environmental
safeguard policy OP 4.01 on such category C project, this Environmental
Codes of Practice (ECOP) is prepared on the basis of environmental impact
assessment of the 9 participating schools individually prepared to satisfy the
domestic procedures.
1.2 Objective of this ECOP
As required by national law on environmental impact assessment on
physical construction projects, during the project preparation and feasibility
study stage, environmental impact assessment for each of the participation
school was carried out to identify potential adverse impact and propose
mitigation measures. According to the requirement of World Bank
environmental safeguard policy OP4.01, Yunnan TVET project is categorized
as “C”. Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOP) is prepared to address
construction-related impacts, especially the safety of students, disruption to
daily school and community activities, and temporary storage/relocation of
chemicals used in laboratories.
The Objective of preparing this ECOP is to define responsibility of
stakeholders in executing ECOP; to guide the planning and implementation of
the mitigation measures to be carried out by Contractor during construction,
and to guide the project owners, the participation schools (PSs) to implement
the mitigation measure to comply with existing environmental standard. It
sets out standard practices and procedures for managing the potential
negative impacts on local environment and local communities of all civil works
to be carried out under the Project. The ECOP will be included as a separate
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED

annex in all bidding and contract documents and the environmental
supervisors will be assigned by PSs with responsibility to ensure contractors
compliance with ECOP and reporting. The Contractor will be made aware of
and commit to its obligation on environmental protection and know that cost for
implementation of the measures is part of the construction cost. It also set up
an environmental supervision mechanism during the project implementation to
ensure this ECOP will be followed.
1.3 Applicability
Having realized the importance and necessity of Yunnan TVET, it is
necessary to realize that the some potential adverse environmental impact
may be brought about, although such impact is minimal form Category C
Project. Adequate capacity, mitigation measures and ensurance of CEOP
implementation mechanism will be necessary to minimize the adverse impact
to the satisfactory of national and local governments, and WB safeguard
policies requirement.
This ECOP will be applicable to all the nine participation schools. This
ECOP is prepared on the basis of individual EIA carried out for the nine
schools involving civil work project activities to provide guidance to the key
parties (including the contractor, environmental supervisor, the project owner,
etc.) to take effective actions to mitigate the potential adverse environmental
impact.

2.2 World Bank Safeguard Policy
This ECOP is prepared to satisfy the WB safeguard requirements under
OP4.01 (EA) which requires planning, implementation, and monitoring of the
mitigation measures during construction. Although the safeguard policies
related to other safeguard policies are not triggered, the Bank requires
inclusion of “chance find” procedure into the contract to guide actions to be
carried out by contractor
3. Institutional Arrangement to Execute ECOP
3.1 Project Implementation Arrangement
To ensure the smooth progress of the Project, it is proposed that the
participation schools take responsibility to manage their own sub-project
activities under unified coordination by Provincial Project Management Office
(PPMO), under the leadership and instruction of YDRC, YNDOF, and YPED, a
PPMO has been established under Yunnan Provincial Education Department
(YPED). The PPMO will be responsible for daily overall management of the
Project.
The nine participation schools will also establish its local project
management office with similar structure as PPMO. The PMOs of PSs will be
under the coordination of PPMO, responsible for managing all issues related to
the respected school and contact with the county/city government agencies
where the school are located and its administration agencies.
3.2 Institutional Framework for Environmental Management
Under above-mentioned institutional arrangement, to execute this ECOP,
an environmental management organizational structure is proposed as shown

4. General Requirement of ECOP
In the project implementation phase, contractors will play key role in
environmental management, pollution control, mitigation measures at the
construction sites. To implement ECOP, this chapter sets out the general
requirements that are applicable to the main agencies related to construction
environmental management. Contractors will be required to implement various
environmental protection measures under the coordination of PSs and ESs.
4.1 Environmental Protection Measures to be incorporated into
Design Drawings and Bidding Document
In the project implementation phase, civil works will be procured and
implemented in accordance with the WB procurement guideline. The PSs
under the coordination and guidance of PPMO, should make sure that
tendering agencies and DIs have incorporated environmental mitigation
measures proposed by EIAs into the respective bidding document and design
drawings. In the bidding document, the bidders will be required to respond to
following environmental management requirement that would be included into
The civil work contracts:
Each Contractor should designate 1~2 full-time staff as EMC(s) to be
responsible for the implementation of environmental
protection/mitigation measures to ensure that its or its
sub-contractor’s (if any) construction activities are compliance with
ECOP’s requirements and all necessary environmental
protection/mitigation measures are well taken.
During construction, contractors must communicate and consult with
local people in project area, and keep them informed of the specific
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED
YECSTD
11
activities and during of construction. The contractor should also set up
hotline to receive public’s inquiring, comments and suggestion.
Contractors should actively cooperate with environmental monitoring
team and ESs to be entrusted by PSs
Before the construction commencement order to be issued by ES,
contractor should prepare its “site EMP” and incorporate it into its
construction scheme.
If construction activities are scheduled during school term period,
contractor should consult with school administration department to
define appropriate construction time to avoid impact on during school
time
Contractor should strictly follow regulations on safety and honorable
construction.
Contractors and construction supervision engineer are required to be
trained on environmental protection and management before
construction
If environmental accident occurs due to nonconformity with mitigation
measures, ES and EMC should inform PS within 24 hours. The PS,
local government, or EBP will immediately order contractor to take
remediation action. The contractor should keep record of such
remediation and report to PS.
The Project owner, the PS will retain a proportion (around 3%) of
contract value as deposit for the fulfillment of environmental protection
assignment.
4.2 Environmental Readiness before Construction
After the bid are awarded and before construction commencement, each
PS should, under the coordination and guidance of PPMO provide copies of
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED
YECSTD
12
results of each EIA, including EIA reports and their approval document to
contractors. Contractors should conduct field environmental investigation to
verify EIA results and indentify environmental limit factors and develop the “site
EMP as required in the contract. Information to be included into the site EMP is
shown in annex 2 of this ECOP. In addition if new environmental sensitive
issues are identified, corresponding mitigation measures should also be
proposed and included in contractors site EMP. No construction should be
commenced until the approval of ES on site EMP.
4.3 Environmental Management for Construction Site
During civil works construction, environmental supervisors to be
entrusted by each PS will take environmental management supervision
responsibility throughout the entire construction period to oversee contractors’
action on implementation of ECOP according to contract requirement on
environmental management and contractors site EMP approved by ES. In
the mean time, contractors’ environmental behaviors will be subject to external
supervision from local EPBs, faculties & students in campus and neighboring
communicates.
4.3.1 Environmental Management Supervision throughout the
construction.
Environmental supervisors will undertake following tasks:
To supervise the contractor’s actives related to land occupation,
resettlement to ensure the compliance with environmental protection
requirement and objectives; be responsible for coordination with land
management agency, resettlement agency, and environmental
protection agency.

To supervise and guide the day-to-day environmental behaviors of
contractor to ensure the compliance with this ECOP requirement.
To review and approve contractor’s site EMP.
To develop ES’s environmental monitoring plan and implement such
plan.
To keep monitoring and records of measures taken by contractor to
avoid and mitigate potential negative impact on environment.
To supervise contractor’s construction activities to ensure the
compliance with this ECOP.
To review and analyze environmental monitoring report prepared by
contractor, conduct ES’s independent site environmental monitoring if
necessary.
To investigate the cases of adverse impact events or complaints from
school teachers & students and local communities due to contractor’s
non-compliance with relevant environmental regulation and ECOP.
Communicate with local EBP about its investigation on the cases to
seek appropriate solution. In the mean time, issue notice sheet for
correction actions to be taken by contractors(shown in Annex 3 of this
ECOP).
To stop contractors from environmental offensive activities.
To provide on-the-job trainings to contractors on environmental
protection to avoid and mitigate potential negative impact on
environment and on local communities.
To conduct periodic monitoring on contractors’ implementation of this
ECOP and keep frequent record of environmental inspection checklist
(shown in Annex 1 of this ECOP) and incorporate such checklist
record into its regular “Environmental Supervision Report”.

4.3.2 EPB’s Regulatory and Publics’ Argumentation
During construction, contractors should cooperate closely with local
relevant agencies to ensure the compliance with government policies and
regulations. Contractors should disclose sufficient information to people to be
affected, especially those information on construction activities potentially
affecting public interests and securities, affecting sensitive zones, temporary
stockpile, and so on. Local EBPs may selectively examine environmental
behaviors of contractors. Local EPBs may receive and review the site
“Environmental Supervision Report” from PSs or ESs and administrate any
environmental issue raised from “Environmental Supervision Report” and take
responsive measures if abnormal environmental accident occurs. .
All the civil works will be constructed within designated school campuses,
faculties & students and communities around the campuses might be the first
ones to test environmental adverse impact, if any. Contractors should place
posters, including estimated duration of construction impact, easily visible by
faculties & students and communities around the campuses. Contractors
should offer transparent approaches for public to participate, such as hot lines,
website, forum etc. to receive public consultation, suggestions and complaints.
The hotline conversations should be recorded. Prompt reaction to public
arguments should be made by contractors under supervision of ESs.

5. Mitigation Measures and Management during Construction.
As the key component of this ECOP, this chapter provide guidance to
contractors to meet the very essential requirements on taking mitigation
measures to protect environment. The measures include construction site
clearance, environmental-friendly management of school campuses, health
safeguard, prevention and control over air and water pollution and soil erosion,
solid waste management, disruption minimization, limitation on or prohibition to
activities to protection environment, actions to be taken to protect cultural relics
chance found, corrections to be taken by contractors on non-compliance and
to response to public complaints,as well as environmental monitoring and
management measures to ensure environmental quality.
5.1 Management on Construction Sites
This section summarizes requirements on site environmental
management, including site layout, working hours, stockpiling of construction
materials and equipment, contractors vehicle management. Contractors
should comply with Environmental management regulations promulgated by
local EBPs and inspected frequently by environmental supervisors.
Essential Measures to mitigate potential environmental negative impact
are as follows:
(1)Construction Working Hours
Construction working hours are to be 8:00~20:00. At the mid day time
from 12:00~14:00 for lunch break, construction should be suspended. Time
for vehicles drive in and out should comply with local government’s
requirement. Construction activity during nighttime would be restricted. If
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED
YECSTD
16
nighttime construction is really unavoidable, permit should be obtained and
announcement should be made to school and peoples to be affected in
advance. Mitigation measures should be adopted to minimize impact on
residents.
(2) Layout of Construction Camp Site
Construction workers would be better to rent school residence as camp
site. There would be only need to install contractor’s office, building materials
storehouse, processing workshop which are far away from teaching zones and
residential zones. Construction workers should use school lavatories rather
than install their own ones.
(3) Borrow Pits
Legal borrow pits designated by local EPBs should be used during
construction, rather than establish the new one.
(4) Prevention of Accidental Risks
Contractors should develop emergency preparedness in advance;
designate its special staff responsible to response to the emergency. Once
the accident occurs, implement its emergency preparedness actions or seek
additional assistance immediately.
(5) People’s Safety and Health
The construction site should be fenced with traffic signs and guardrails to
protect school faculties and students. Contractors should designate its staff
to lead the traffic during on-school and off-school hours. Construction workers
will be trained on safety and forced to be equipped with personnel safeguards.
If materials containing asbestos or toxicant are to be tear down, they should be
handled by workers specially well trained. All construction activities should
be suspended upon heavy storm or emergent cases.
(6) The laboratory reconstruction for Yunnan Forestry Technological
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED
YECSTD
17
College involves relocation of experimental chemicals and toxicants. Yunnan
Qujing Agricultural School involves the storage of toxicants. Risks are
foreseeable from such storage and relocation. It is required that during
laboratory relocation, the college, the contractor, the environmental supervisor
should designate their respective staff responsible for the storage and
relocation. All toxicants must be registered one by one and be relocated to
the appropriate places satisfactory to safety needs and be stored in a
satisfactory manner. During laboratory relocation, all chemicals toxicants,
together with their packages labeled significantly. Relocation and storage of
toxicants must follow strictly the requirements stipulated in the national “Safety
Management Regulations on Hazard Chemicals” and be handled by qualified
agencies. Spill kits / sand / saw dust used for absorbing chemical spillage
should be prepared and readily accessible in the storage place or during
relocation.
5.2 Environmental Quality Management
In order to minimize construction impact on environmental quality,
following mitigation measures should be taken:
(1) Ambient Air
The construction sites should be fenced to reduce impact on ambient air
quality. Dedusting measures, such as watering, etc. should be applied at
earthwork site. Vehicles cleansing facilities should be installed at entrance and
exits of the construction sites. Vehicles should be cleaned of dirt before
leaving the construction sites. Hauling vehicles that are easily generating
dust should be covered with tents. Building materials and shuttering boxes
should be stored on flat and stable ground. Cement and dusty materials that
easily generate fly dust should be placed in obturator or covered with tents.
Commercial concrete are encouraged. The construction site should be
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED
YECSTD
18
regularly cleaned and watered. Fuel-powered machines and vehicles can only
be used at normal operation conditions to ensure their exhaust gas comply
with emission standards.
Wastes incinerations are prohibited.
(2) Water Environment
During construction, contractors are requested to design its wastewater
treatment and discharging approaches to comply with standard. Any illegal
discharging of untreated wastewater into environment or inundate municipal
establishments would be prohibited. Contractor workers are to use existing
school refectories and lavatories. Temporary sedimentation tanks are to be
installed at construction sites to treat slurry, wastewater from concrete
maintenance, other construction wastewater, stormwater mixed with silt .
After slurry sedimentation, water from sedimentation tanks can be used for site
watering for dedusting. The rest of wastewaters can be discharged into the
existing school sewer system.

(3)Acoustic Environment
Contractors should comply with local regulations on noise control, arrange
appropriate working hours, and restrict operation hours that are locally
sensitive. Quite equipment should be used as much as possible. Sound
and vibration reduction or insulation facilities should be installed if necessary.
Construction equipment should be well-maintained to keep in good operation
conditions, so as to minimize mechanical noise impact.
Contractors should follow its site monitoring program to monitor noise
levels at the construction site and the point of environmental concerns from
time to time and adjust its construction schedule or take mitigation measures
based on monitoring results.
(4) Solid Waste Management
Wastes should be properly piled up, sorted and recycled as much as
possible. Non-reusable waste should be disposed of at permitted disposal
sites.
(5) Eco-Environment Protection and Erosion Control
At the pre-conditions of construction safeguard quality and quantity,
construction occupation duration should be shortened as much as possible.
Earthwork duration should be controlled. Excavation and backfilling slope
YNTEVT Project to be Financed by WB YPED
YECSTD
20
should be kept stable to reduce interruption on exterior. More attention
should be paid on rational construction site management during raining
season. Once the construction is completed, re-vegetation or re-cultivation
should be made promptly. Trees that are not necessarily felled in the
construction sites should be protected. Once temporary land occupation for
construction is completed, the land should be cleared, leveled and recovered
with original vegetation. Intercepting ditches should be prepared in the
construction site to channelize surface runoff outside so to reduce site erosion
by runoff.
(6) Cultural Relics Conservation
Surveys during project preparation suggested that there are no cultural
heritage sites in the construction sites. However, if there is any chance found
cultural relics or articles suspected to be cultural relics, the site should be
promptly protected and reported to local agencies responsible for cultural relic
administration. Construction activities cannot be resumed until the sites are
handled by cultural relic administration agencies.
5.3 Environmental Monitoring Program
During construction, with good environmental supervision, contractors will
conduct their internal environmental monitoring as defined in their site EMP.
In addition, following external environmental monitoring are also proposed.
(1) Public health monitoring—applicable to the nine participating schools.

Annex 2 Outlines of Contractors Site EMP
Immediately after the contract is awarded, Site Environmental
Management Plan (SEMP) is to be developed by contractors, to take specific
measures that are response to the ECOP against potential environmental
negative impacts, including environmental-friendly management of
construction sites, employment, health and safety, transportation and traffic,
control over noise, vibration, fly dust, air pollution, solid waste disposal and
reuses, water quality protection, natural and eco-environment conservation,
cultural relics conservation, construction workers camp management,
environmental quality monitoring, Protection of Archaeology, Protection of
Natural Habitats, etc. Contractors’ SEMP will be subject to ESs’ review and
approval. During Construction, Contractors will be supervised by
environmental supervisors who will take day-to-day environmental inspection.
Once ES issue notice sheet for correction, contractors should take prompt
responsive actions to ensure construction activities in every step to comply
with this ECOP.
The Site EMP shall include, but not limited to, following contents:
1. Briefs of the Contract Works
2. Environmental Features of the Construction Site
3. Objectives of Site Environmental Management
4. Institutional Management on Environmental Protection
5. Environmental Protection Issue, Avoidance on Interruption to Peoples,
Honorable and Safe Construction Measures

This section will address issues on
- water - Air - solid waste (construction debris/demolishing waste) disposal and
reuse - vibration. - camps management, - monitoring during construction, - etc.
6. Mitigation Measures and Objectives
As the core of this ECOP, the objective is to minimize the potential
negative impacts during construction on local environment, local community,
and human and environmental safety and disturbance. The Contractor is
expected to implement the activities in line with the following approach as
much as possible in close consultation with ESs. Key approaches include, but
not limited, to:
- Minimize impacts and restore damages; - Replanting trees in project areas; - Control erosion and sedimentation during construction; - Proper control of runoff and erosion from acid sulphate soil (ASS) and
contaminated sediments through special protection and management;
- Use main roads when possible; - Heavy traffic restrictions; - Control (collection, disposal) of wastes (solid and liquid); - Minimize disturbance to local population; Frequent meetings with local
people and provision of timely and adequate information to the project affected peoples (PAPs) so that their living and production conditions could be managed;
- Engage and provide labour opportunity for local population; - Application of proper safety and warning measures in the construction
sites, especially in dredging canals;
