1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Report Purpose and Rationale

1. As defined in the domestic EIAs and consolidated environmental impact assessment (CEIA, January 20111) for Gansu Tianshui Urban Infrastructure Development Project (the Project) under ADB Loan, semi-annual environmental monitoring reports (EMR) have to be prepared by the borrower in order to evaluate and assess overall project activities to ensure the effective implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP).

2. The purpose of the eleventh EMR is to document the environmental management activities and compliance with the revised EMP of this Project by 31 December 2018, the project completion date. This report is prepared in accordance with the environmental monitoring program as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) revised in December 2014 and disclosed in May 2015 on ADB’s website. As the eleventh EMR, it will not only cover the construction (for component A-heating network) and commissioning phases (for component A-heating network, components B and C-roads and bridges, flood control), but also demonstrate compliance with the EMP for the design, bidding, and construction preparation stages. In line with targets aimed at reducing the negative environmental impacts of the Project and in accordance with all the relevant specifications and standards of the PRC, as well as the policies of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), this report will emphasize: (i) progress made in implementing the EMP, (iii) environmental compliance, (iv) institutional strengthening and training, (v) public consultation, and (vi) problems that have occurred and corrective actions taken. 3. This report is prepared by the TPMO and the two IAs (THC and TUCIC) with the assistance from China General Consultant & Investment Co. Ltd. (CGCI), as the loan implementation consultant. The monitoring plan was updated on the basis of discussion with TEPB and approved by ADB. 1.2 Project Background, Objective and Components

4. The Gansu Tianshui Urban Infrastructure Development Project was approved with the amount of $100 million on 29 June 2011, signed on 25 October 2011 and became effective on 14 May 2012. The Project will assist Tianshui to promote balanced and environmentally sustainable urbanization, and to improve living conditions in Tianshui. The impact of the Project is better living conditions in Tianshui municipality. The outcome of the Project is improved heating, transport, and flood control services in Tianshui municipality. The Project has four outputs: (i) Qinzhou district heating network (component A), (ii) Chengji road and flood control facilities (component B), (iii) Tianshui urban transport improvements (component C), and, (iv) capacity development and institutional strengthening (component D). The Project was delegated to PRCM for administration on 30 June 2015. The original physical completion of the Project and closing date were on 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2016, respectively. Due to the change of heating source plant2, project

1 Available from https://www.adb.org/projects/documents/gansu-tianshui-urban-infrastructure-development-project-environmental-impact-asse. 2 Due to the minor scope change, an environmental due diligence was undertaken in 2013~2014 in accordance with

ADB’s SPS (2009). An updated domestic EIA was approved in May 2014 by Gansu Provincial Environmental Protection Department (GEPD). An Addendum to the Consolidated Environmental Impact Assessment including a revised EMP was approved and disclosed in May 2015 by ADB (https://www.adb.org/projects/documents/prc-gansu-tianshui-urban-infrastructure-devt-project-may-2015-addendum-eia) .

implementation of Qinzhou district heating network component is delayed for about two years and the current loan closing date is 31 December 2018. 5. Tianshui municipal government (TMG) is the executing agency, and Tianshui Urban Construction ADB and Investment Group (TUCIC) and Tianshui Heating Company (THC) are the implementing agencies. As of 31 Dec 2018, nine loan administration missions were fielded to Tianshui, including the loan midterm review conducted on 28 October – 5 November 2013.

6. Project components. The Project includes four components/outputs:

(i) Qinzhou district heating network (component A3)—upgrading of Qinzhou district's central heating network by decommissioning 194 outdated coal-fired boilers, building a 33.7 km primary heat transmission network, constructing 76 heat-exchange stations, and increasing district-heating coverage by 6 million m2;

(ii) Chengji road and flood control facilities (component B)—constructing the 12km Chengji road and flood control embankment along the Xi river’s north bank, including two large bridges, with related public transportation facilities4;

(iii) Tianshui urban transport improvements (component C)—improving urban roads and related services especially for public transport and non-motorized transport (NMT) by constructing four new roads with a total length of 4.9 km, rehabilitating one road with a total length of 2.0 km, constructing three bridges, and developing related services, including drainage pipelines and sewers, energy-saving lighting, public green areas, and road-safety features; and

(iv) Capacity development and institutional strengthening (component D)—providing support in two areas (a) to TPMO and implementing agencies to ensure efficient and effective project implementation in compliance with ADB requirements; and (b) an urban transport capacity development program including holistic urban road design and road safety audit, people-centric urban transport planning, road network management and maintenance, and related training.

7. A minor change in scope and implementation arrangement was approved on 9 September 2015 to accommodate: (i) change of associated facility for component A: Qinzhou district heating network: due to 2 years of delay in the construction of the original combined heat and power (CHP) plant source as an associated facility under the Project, in 2013, TMG decided to fully fund and build its own heat plant to supply heating to Qinzhou district without waiting for the CHP; (ii) partial cancellation of roads in Maiji road network (package C06) under component C: to avoid unnecessary delay of project completion due to difficulty in timely resettlement, TMG proposed to cancel some parts of roads under a subcomponent package C06: Maiji road network, and it was confirmed that the urban road network of the Maiji new district remains fully functional without the cancelled portions of roads; (iii) change of procurement packaging for component D: Capacity development and institutional strengthening: the TMG proposed to streamline the consulting packages from five to one since startup consultants (packages CS2 and CS3) were found not relevant by the time of the loan inception mission as the main loan implementation consultant firm under package CS1 was already mobilized; the tasks under packages CS4 and CS1 were found overlapping; and the contents of package CS5 were reviewed with TMG and deemed not relevant anymore for the Project; and (iv) change of funding source: TMG informed ADB in August 2013

3 There were changes of the associated facilities, namely the CHP and associated tunnel &pipelines during mid-term

review in October of 2013. 4 Some minor changes were incurred and environmental due diligence was undertaken in 2014.The main output has not

been changed.

2. PROPONENT’S ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Institutional Responsibilities for Environmental Management

9. Based on the domestic EIAs and the CEIA, the Project environmental management system(EMS), consisting of inspection, monitoring, reporting, and initiating corrective actions or measures, was set up prior to project implementation to ensure smooth implementation of EMP(subject to be updated with the Project progress). In the design stage, TPMO and the IAs passed on the EMP to the design institutes for incorporating mitigation measures into the detailed designs of the components. The EMP was reviewed and confirmed at the end of the detailed design, and was finally passed onto selected contractors. To ensure that contractors to comply with the EMP’s provisions, TPMO and the IAs prepared and provided the following specification clauses for incorporation into the bidding procedures: (i) a list of environmental items to be budgeted by the bidders in their proposals; and (ii) environmental clauses for contract conditions and specifications. Environmental management units (EMUs) were established by the IAs prior to the start of the Project implementation. They are in charge of the responsibility of coordinating and supervising the EMP implementation. The EMUs are headed by the deputy general managers of the IAs. Meanwhile, TPMO has drawn the expertise from TEPB in supervising the Project EMS. TUCIC is acted as one of the implementing agencies signed contract with the Tianshui Environmental Monitoring Station (TEMS) in 2012. TEMS conducted eight semi-annually environmental monitoring campaigns since December 2012. THC as the implementing agency for heating component signed an agreement of intent with the Lanzhou Yitong Environmental Monitoring Company (LZYT), a certified monitoring service company as shown below, in May 2016. Since then, LZYT has conducted four semi-annually environmental monitoring campaigns. Table 2-1 below updates the environmental responsibilities of each organization and the status of fulfillment during implementation.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATIONS AND COMPENSATION MEASURES IMPLEMENTED IN THE REPORTING PERIOD

18. Based on the revised EMP (May 2015 version), potential environmental impacts of the Project and the mitigation measures during this reporting period are summarized in the Appendix 2. The implementation status of the mitigation measures are summarized in the last columns of the tables for comparison with the designed mitigation measures stated in the revised EMP. In summary, the mitigation measures have to date been implemented effectively. A scale rating for quantifying each contract’s performance in term of EMP implementation (trial toolkit) was applied and the weighted average rates 3.9 to 4.0 (3 stands for Meets expectations and 4 stands for Exceeds expectation) illustrate that all contracts had effectively implemented EMP during this reporting period. Especially for the contract CH5, excavation methods of heating piping at five urban main road sections with heavy traffic volume (Hezhuo road, Minshan road, Taoyuan road, Tianqing road and Beiyuanzi road) are changed to directional drilling, and at West bridge and Qilidun bridge of Xi River are changed to pipe jacking from original planned open excavation to avoid adverse environmental impacts and lessen traffic disturbance (see below meeting notes from THC in Feb 2017).



19. The Status of the EMP Budget. According to the approved CEIA and EMP, the total environmentally related cost for the Project, including costs for soil erosion protection, is $6.6437 million (CNY44.21 million), or 2.93% of the total estimated budget of the Project. However, the Project plan has been changed slightly since the CEIA was done in 2007. Up to date, most of the mitigation measures are covered by the total cost of the construction contracts. Besides, TPMO and IAs have some budget allocated for external environmental monitoring, institutional strengthening, training and public consultation. Environmental PCR related training was provided to the two IAs, nine road civil contractors/CSCs in April 2016/April and June/October 2018 respectively. The sample data list following the format of the approved CEIA was provided to the constructors for preparation. During site visits in Oct 2018, the LIEC suggested that the contractors collect data on all the relevant EMP cost, including soil erosion protection cost. In addition, the contractors of contract packages CH01, CH02, CH03 and CH06 reported that the actually incurred mitigation costs are CNY75,400, CNY 482,725, CNY 137,500 and CNY 382,500 by 30 September 2018, as shown in the below table. The relevant information is being collected and will be reported in details in the project environmental completion report, to be submitted to the ADB by 2nd quarter 2019. 20. Preparation of project completion review (PCR). The LIEC informed the PMO that the new regulation in the PRC on environmental acceptance after construction completion came into effect since October 2017 and requested them to check with TEPB for the preparation and approval of the environmental acceptance report for the project. Regardless of domestic environmental acceptance procedure, the LIEC is assisting the PMO to prepare a consolidated environmental assessment including all the project components under ADB and domestic financing prior to the PCR mission scheduled in the 3rd quarter of 2019. Environmental PCR related training was provided by the CGCI to the two IAs, all civil contractors/CSCs in April 2016/April and June/Ocotober 2018, respectively. The data list was provided to the IAs/contractors for preparation. The PCR data including environmental mitigation such as soil erosion prevention and control cost, loan covenants compliance (such as mudslide-free land use plan and mudslide monitoring; hydrological monitoring data sharing) and project benefits (eg coal savings) be collected and reported in the future EMRs, project progress reports, and the consolidated environmental assessment.

5. SUMMARY OF FIELD SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT

5.1 Monitoring plan and responsibilities

21. The environmental monitoring, including the environmental benefits monitoring, was incorporated in the project performance management system (PPMS) indicators for the Project. The TPMO, with assistance from the IAs (TUCIC, THC), is responsible for analyzing and consolidating the data through their management information system. The PPMS was designed to allow adequate flexibility to adopt remedial actions regarding project design, schedules, activities, and development impacts. TPMO, the IAs, and the loan implementation consultant are systematically collecting data on inputs and outputs of the Project components, the agreed related environmental and other indicators to be used to measure project impact. 22. One of the impact indicators in the DMF is related to environment , i.e. average of 20% was changed to respectively 15%, 30% and 10% reduction in air pollutants SO2, NO2, and PM10 from 0.068, 0.035 and 0.082 mg/m3 during heating seasons by 2020 (baseline year 2009) in Tianshui municipality. It is noted that the indicator of NOx was removed from Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB 3095-2012) by State Environmental Protection Agency (currently MEE) in January of 2000. Instead, the indicator of NO2 is applied herein. Tianshui City Annual Environmental Reports have revealed relative good air quality (but with relatively high PM10) in Tianshui City, as shown below: SO2, NO2, and PM10 were 0.026, 0.027 and 0.067 mg/m3 respectively in Tianshui City in

2013 SO2, NO2, and PM10 were 0.026, 0.026 and 0.065 mg/m3 respectively in Tianshui City in

2014; slightly better than 2013 level SO2, NO2, and PM10 were 0.032, 0.039 and 0.079 mg/m3 respectively in Tianshui City in

2015; worse than the past years’ level; and the PM10 minor exceeded the annual average standard limit (0.070 mg/m3 ) of Grade 2, Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB 3095-2012)

SO2, NO2, and PM10 were 0.027, 0.036 and 0.080 mg/m3 respectively in Tianshui City in 2016; mild compared to 2015 level; and the PM10 minor exceeded the annual average standard limit (0.070 mg/m3 ) of Grade 2, Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB 3095-2012)

SO2, NO2, and PM10 were 0.024, 0.035 and 0.087 mg/m3 respectively in Tianshui City in 2017; mild compared to 2016 level (sourced from 2017 Gansu Provincial Annual Environmental Statement11); and the PM10 minor exceeded the annual average standard limit (0.070 mg/m3 ) of Grade 2, Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB 3095-2012)

SO2, NO2, and PM10 were 0.013, 0.024 and 0.074 mg/m3 respectively in Tianshui City in the 2018 (calculated according to data from Ministry of Ecology and Environment, while the 2018 Tianshui City Environmental Statement has not been issued yet).

24. One of the outcome indicators in DMF is related to environment, i.e. heating-related carbon dioxide emissions reduced from 1,082,200 to 654,400 tons per annum by 2016 (baseline year 2009) in Tianshui municipality. Due to the change of the associated facility to the district heating component A causing heating supply area changed, the heating-related carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced from 961,589 to 559,023 tons per annum. Coal inputs per annum for Qinzhou district heating were reduced from 566,396 tons during 2012/13 heating season (base year) to 531,652 tons during 2013/14 heating season, 510,384 tons during 2016/17 heating season and 510,384 tons during 2017/18 heating season. The reduction also contributes about 24% (= (566,396-510,384)/237,120(target value)) of heating-related carbon dioxide emissions from 961,589 to 866,496 tons yearly (=(961,589 -866,496)/(961,589 -559,023)). Coal input for 2017/2018 heating season was under audit and will be provided by THC by early 2019 then reflected in the project environmental completion report scheduled by the 2nd quarter of 2019.



25. The relevant trainings on environmental monitoring, asbestos management, and soil erosion protection are also included in the Project output and activities of the DMF. The implementation status sees the Chapter 6.

26. Environmental quality targets, sampling and analytical methods. According to the EIAs, CEIA and actual project status, the Project’s environmental management objectives are as Table 5-2 below.

Environmental Monitoring Sampling Arrangements. According to the environmental protection targets for sensitive receivers and possible major environmental impacts by construction specified in the EIAs and CEIA, the EMP updated in May 2015 for different components under the Project, along with the actual project progress, field survey and environmental monitoring for component A have been conducted by Lanzhou Yitong Environmental Monitoring Company (LZYT) during this reporting period. The work scope for the external environment monitoring of the Project includes:



a) For the component A during construction period, the locations and time of monitoring is determined according to the actual construction progress, activities and routes; and b) For the components B and C under operation, as the operational monitoring was undertaken in 2016, a project completion environmental monitoring was suggested during the Oct 2018 site visits by the LIEC while no monitoring was undertaken during this reporting period.

29. Based on the current project progress, the detailed sampling arrangements at this stage are shown in the below Table 5-4.

5.2 Monitoring Results

5.2.1 Emission Discharge (Source) Monitoring Results

31. TPMO/TUCIC and the CSCs regularly and irregularly inspected the environmental status on the construction sites. Tianshui Environmental Supervision Team, the subordinate of TEPB, also periodically conducted site inspection to check compliance status. Internal environmental monitoring was carried out by the contractors. Continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) is being installed to monitor the exhaust pollutants from the Qinzhou district heating supply plant, the associated facility to component A. The monitoring data will be collected and reported in the future EMRs. The submission status of environmental protection operation and supervision plan/manuals and internal environmental monitoring reports see the Appendix 3. 32. So far, the LIEC conducted several visits to the construction sites to verify the environmental performance, respectively in October 2012, March 2013, June 2013, July 2013, September 2013, October 2013，July 2014，October 2014, April 2015, January 2016, April 2016 , July/August 2017, April/June/Aug/Oct 2018. The results of site inspection have indicated that the mitigation measures have being well implemented on site. The LIEC highlighted the importance of maintaining compliance throughout the entire project implementation. As for environmental safeguards concern, the site visits confirmed that mitigation measures during construction including dust controlling, construction site control, construction wastewater collection measures, the use of adequate safety equipment are satisfactory. The completed heating pipeline network with its associated facility (Qinzhou district heating supply plant) under component A and road & bridge under components B and C do not have any significant adverse environmental safeguards impacts. The LIEC also emphasized that the construction sites management should be strengthened to minimize the potential safety issues to nearby residents in particular at crowed



public places. In addition, by considering the construction safety during rainy season, the LIEC also required the contractors to adopt adequate measures to ensure the impacts mitigation. 33. Flood control concerns. It was informed and observed several sections of flood prevention dykes under component B - Chengji road and flood control facilities were dismantled due to another project intervention (as shown in the below layout figures). This component B was completed in 2016. All construction activities affecting ADB-financed component should get approvals from all relevant government departments, in particular on soil erosion and flood control assessment. After the completion of this intervention project, the flood control standard of the restored dyke should ensure the annual probability of seasonal flooding along Chengji flood embankment reduced to 1% to ensure the flood safety according to Project Agreement Section 2.11(b) “TMG shall at all times operate and maintain its plants, equipment and other property relating to the Project, and from time to time, promptly as needed, make all necessary repairs and renewals thereof, all in accordance with sound administrative, financial, engineering, environmental, urban development, and maintenance and operational practice”. As of Dec 2018, the PMO closely followed up this issue to ensure no adverse environmental impacts will be caused and informed several progresses were made. The Tianshui Metro Company promised to recover those broken sections before March 2019 to avoid risks on soil erosion during rain season in 2019. The relevant information is being collected and will be reported in details in the project environmental completion report, to be submitted to the ADB by 2nd quarter 2019.

5.2.2 Assessment

34. Based on the aforementioned field survey and internal environmental check, there is no significant environmental impact found, the construction discharge of construction wastewater, emission of dust and acoustic environment are kept at environmentally acceptable level. In connection with flood control facilities under component B, the LIEC will further discuss this issue with PMO, TUCIC and CGCI to collect detailed information and find solutions and report the progress in future quarterly project progress reports and future EMRs. 5.2.3 Ambient Monitoring Program Results

35. In June 2016, the Shuangqiao bridge (across Xi river, one of Wei river’s tributaries) was open to traffic. According to 2016 Tianshui City Annual Environmental Statement12, Xi river was heavily polluted (at EPB’s only one regular monitoring section, about 7km downstream of the Shuangqiao bridge), worse than Class V mainly due to CODcr, BOD5, TP, NH3-N and LAS exceeding Grade V standard limit. During this reporting period, no water water quality test was conducted. The environmental monitoring data of reference project (another domestic project EIA disclosed on TEPB’s website13) also indicated TP, NH3-N and LAS exceeding Grade V standard limit. To some extent, this reflects the background pollution status of Xi river. The contribution from the Project is estimated very minor.

36. The data of the construction air monitoring are shown in Table 5-6 for the 6 sensitive receptors nearby the construction sites of the component A (heating pipeline network). According to the results, it is found that the daily average concentrations of TSP, SO2, NO2 meet Environment Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095—2012) Grade II Standard due to the appropriate mitigation measures taken.

38. According to the field survey and environment monitoring, the water, air and noise environment monitoring results are summarized as below:

a) According to the historical monitoring results of the water quality for the Xi River in previous reporting periods, it is found that pH and the concentration of SS, DO, NH3-N, TP, Petroleum, CODCr, Total coliform at the monitoring locations meet the Environment Quality Standard of Surface Water(GB3838—2002) Grade III Standard due to the appropriate mitigation measures taken, excluding 2 river sections were monitored of COD or TP exceeding the standard of surface water quality (GB3838—2002) Grade III, merely meeting the Grade V, which possibly due to the wastewater discharged nearby Shuangqiao Xihe Bridge construction site, Xihe River. TUCIC explained that those sections’ incompliance might be contributed by the following factors: (a) the selected sections nearby are dense areas with high population and traffic flow;(b) dry season with a little rain; and (c) the adjacent domestic wastewater was directly discharged into the water bodies.

During this reporting period, no water quality test was undertaken. According to 2016 Tianshui City Annual Environmental Statement14, Xi river was heavily polluted (at EPB’s regular monitoring section, about 7km downstream of the Shuangqiao bridge), worse than Class V mainly due to CODcr, BOD5, TP, NH3-N and LAS exceeding Grade V standard limit. During this reporting period, the environmental monitoring data of reference project (another domestic project EIA disclosed on TEPB’s website15) also indicated TP, NH3-N and LAS exceeding Grade V standard limit. To some extent, this reflects the background pollution status of Xi river. The contribution from this project is estimated very minor.

b) Ambient Air Monitoring Survey- For the six monitoring points (#H15 to 20) nearby the

component A (heating pipeline network) , the monitoring results can satisfy the national air quality standards. As the monitoring locations are new and quite different from other monitoring points previously monitored, no comparison analysis is undertaken.

c) Noise Monitoring Survey- The noises at those 6 sensitive points adjacent to the Project

(#H15 to 20) have met the requirement of Environmental Quality Standard for Noise (GB3096-2008), Class II. As the monitoring locations are new and quite different from other monitoring points previously monitored, no comparison analysis is undertaken.

d) The onsite supervision, field sampling and laboratory testing results indicate compliance

and mitigation measures were undertaken to control project-related adverse environmental impacts to an acceptable level.
