9.1 General

9.1.1 Introduction

The project is the newly built railway project. There are 9 new stations, 8 of them are for the life water supply, 1 for the water provision. The life water supply station are Bingxi, Bingzhou, Shengli, Fangzheng, Gaoleng, Dalian River, Yilan, Hongkeli Station; the water provision stations are Eastern Jiamusi Station(the old Eastern Jiamusi Station closed and moved to the newly built Eastern Jiamusi Station.

The project newly built the Jiamusi Motor Train parking yard and Eastern Jiamu Dispatched Locomotive Back-turning Section.

The old station has 1: Jiamusi Station for the water provision.

9.1.2 Evaluation

1． Evaluation Factors

On the basis of the sewage drainage features of the railway manufacturing and life facilities, the evaluation factors of Domestic Wastewaterat each station after openning were determined as PH, BOD5, CODcr, SS and Ammonia Nitrogen; the manufacturing evaluation factors were PH, CODcr, SS, and petroleum.

2． Evaluation Methods

Analyzing with the standard index method, single water quality standard index fomula is :

Si＝In fomula: Ci：the actual measured density of the polluted matter i（mg/l）

Cs：water environment quality standard or discharge standard of the polluted matter

i（mg/l） Si：standard index of the polluted matter i

If the water quality parameter standard index>1, it is indicated that water quality parameter has been over the stipulated standard, inapplicable for the usage requirement.

9.1.3 Evaluation Contents

1．Evaluating and analyzing the current sewage drainage conditions of the old station.

2．Estimating the sewage quality, amount and total amount of main polluted matter discharge amount at the new and rebuilt stations, analyzing the sewage disposal technique of the construction design, making a judgement on the feasibility and up to the standard or not, and putting forword the relative complementary measures.

3．Analying the water environment impact on the construction camps, site, proposing the measurement to treat and alleviate the impact.

The over-bridge foundation are all hole-bored. Its construction placed the main impact on water environment due to the mud residue, mud, the leakage of the borer and other machines.

When the bored hole pier foundation was used for the bridge foundation, the mud residue induced while boring the holes were banned to drain to the river for the sake of the blockage of the river and the flood drainage.

II. The Impact of the construction Site Sewage on the Environment

1．The construction site was generally arranged near the villages and towns with the sufficient water and power supply, convenient traffic and short distance to the sites. Due to the simple life and living of the construction staff the Domestic Wastewaterdrainage amount was not much, mainly from washing and canteen cleaning, no obvious impact on the local water environment. The living water drainage amount

was different at various sites, by experience, there are nomally 20～200 people at one site, counted by

50L/d.man and 80% of the living sewage discharge, the staff sewage discharge amount will be 0.8～8m3/d.

2．Certain impact was placed on the environment due to improper treatment of the oil contrained water drainage from the construction machinery maintenance.

9.4.2 Proposals on the Water Pollution Protection and Treatment during the Construction Period

（1）The over-bridge foundation construction should try to be in the dry season. The shallow water section uses the straw-sack cofferdam, and deep water area using the bi-wall steel dam. The oil drip and

leakage should try to be lessened to minimize the impact on the environment.

（2）Due to the scattered construction camps, the living sewage drainage was not much in quantity at each place, the overall disposal of the staff living sewage was not easy, so it was suggested that the toilets should be built at the construction camps in villages and collected for as fertilizer for the crops. The dry toilets should be well managed with a timely cleaning, especial to prevent the dropping drift in the rain season and pollute the surrounding. Other living sewage should be drained to the nearby low deserted land or ditches for a less impact on the environment; In urban area, the municipal houses with the drainage system should be rented for the rental of the camps for the living sewage drained to the urban sewage disposal system.

（3）The oil insulation and collection tank of small scale should be arranged for the constrution points with large quantity of oil-contrained sewage, drainage be after the sewage treatment.

（4）No construction camps at the water protection zone. The camp location should be away from the protection range, ensuring the no drainage of staff living sewage and oil contrained sewage from the machinery maintenance to the protection zone.

（5）While having construction in the water source protection area, the construction material with the harmful matters should be stored far away from the water source, all railway building material should rain proof and rain shielding facilities, the project waste shoude be moved out of the water source in time; the transportation vehicles and construction machines should be strictly managed, covered the vehicles with the tent against the dropping of material and dust spreading.

（6）The hardened ground and dry tank should be made at maintenance points to prevent the water and soil pollution due to the machine maintenance and cleaning. The strengened machine repairing and construction are necessary against the leaking, drip, spout.

（7）The urban construction requires the hardened ground due to the high sand and mud containing sewage ban straightly to the underground drainage pipe and the rain inducing ditches within the construction bound and the discharge after settled in the sediment tank.

9.5 Impact Analysis of the Project on the Concentrated Drinking

Water Source Protection Zone in Yilan County

9.5.1 Water Source General

（1）Water Source General

The concentrated drinking water source of Yilan Counry is located 5km Southeast in Yilan County, with the geographic coordination of east longitude 120°33′ and north latitude 46°19′. It is mainly for the water supply of Yilan County of the population of 80,000 -100,000.

The water source is the underground pore water type, Class IV brand new gravel geology, within 3m of ground surface having clay and sub-clay, below 3m having sand and gravel, underground water level is 4m, air-wraping belt is 4-5m thick, the water containing layer is 4-15m. Supplying the air waterfall, Peony River penetrating and upper reach underground water lateral compensation in the direction of West, North and East, gradient 1.5/1000, compensation quantity of 2.14×104m3/d.

9.5.2 Related Location Relation between the Project and Water Source Protection Area

The proposed Jiaha passenger speciallized railway project at chainage CK250+790-CK252+715 passed the 11# water-taking well, 1925m of Class II protection zone with the subgrade type, 155m to the 11# water-taking well Class I protection zone boundry in the nearest; at chainage CK251+140-CK252+734, it passed the 10# water-taking well, 1594m of Class II protection zone with the subgrade type, 501m to the 10# water-taking well Class I protection zone boundry in the nearest; it arranged the Yilan Railway Station at chainage CK251+570, 650m and 800m to the 10# and 11# Class I protection zone boundry respectively.

The related location relation between the proposed Jiaha passenger speciallized railway project and water source in Yilan County is as in the table 8-5-1.

Figure 9-1 The location relation illustration between the proposed Jiaha railway project and water source protection zone in Yilan County

9.5.3 Analysis on the Proposed Project Impact on the Water Source Protection Zone

I. The Relative Laws and Rules

It is stipulated in the 《Water Pollution Protection and Treatment Law of P.R.Chins》and 《Pollution and

Protection Management Rules of Drinking Water Source Protection Zone》as follows: it is forbidden to take any activitity destructive to water environment ecological balance and water source forest, bank protection forest and water source protection vegetation cover; within Class I protection zone, it is banned to construct any building having nothing to do with the water-taking facilities and to have sewage carrying ditches, pipes and oil conveying pipes passing through the zone; Within Class II protection area, it is prohibited to build, rebuilt and enlargen the pollution discharged project; within the sub-protection area, while the ground surface water is for complement, its water quality should no lower than Class III

standard set in 《Ground Surface Water Environment Quality Standard》.



Drinking Water Source Concentrated Place》,that source will be halted before 2013. In view of the 4 year construction period of the project, the source should be stopped for utilization before the project openning, no pollution discharge impact will happen.

Above all, the railway project construciton is in line with the requirement of laws and rules stated above.

（2）Analysis of the Impact of the Construction on the Water Source

1. Evaluation and Analysis of the Impact of the Subgrade Construction on the Water Source Environment

In accordance with the following conditions: the layer of the section Jiaha railway project subgrade passed by is Class IV brand new sand and gravel geology, within 3m of ground surface having clay and sub-clay below 3m having sand and gravel, the air wraping belt is 4-5m thick. The underground stable water elevation was 115m during the project investigation period, the subgrade elevation was 135m and filling height of 3-8m, water embedded depth more than 12m and subgrade elevation was 20m higher than the water-table level. Therefore, the subgrade foundation excavation would not reach the water-containing level, no impact would be placed on the underground water within this section. Peony River penetrating and underground water lateral compensation in the direction of West, North and East, gradient 1.5/1000, compensation quantity of 2.14×104m3/d.

2. Impact of the Project on the Water Source Supplement

The underground water supplement at this water source is air precipitation, Peony River penetrating and upper reach underground water lateral compensation in the direction of West, North and East, gradient 1.5/1000, compensation quantity of 2.14×104m3/d.

The project passed over the Peony River with the Peony River Super-large bridge in the direction of Northwest to Southeast, almost identical with the underground water flow direction(west, north and ease) of Peony River lateral compensation water source. Thus, the foundation construction of Peony River super-large bridge foundation construction would not cause the blockage to the the underground water; and neither would the subgrade works due to its location above the ground.

3. Impact on the Underground Water Quality during the Construction Period

The current well depth of Yilan water source is 120-130m.

The Peony River Super-large bridge was constructed with the deep bi-wall steel cofferdam. In comparison with the suspended matter amount produced from the relative super-large bridge founcation construction work, the water area was 0.01km2 with the accrued thickness value ≥10mg/l of the suspended matter during the single pier works and cofferdam demolish construction, the affected distance at the upper reach with the suspended matter thickness ≥10mg/l was 87m, lower reach affected distance was 239m, the maxium diffusion width was 11.5m(centered with the pier). It is shown that the suspended matter impact confined to the area near the working site, it is limited. Besides, due to the temporary disturbance to the river bed bottom mud during the cofferdam construction and demolishing, a large quantity of the suspended matter gathered in the steel pipe cofferdam, the impact on the water quality induced by the increased suppensed matter would ended with the finishing the cofferdam building and removing. Because of the Peony River Super-large bridge location basically at the end of lower reach of the water source make-up area, the temporary increased suspension thickness would not affect the water quality of the underground deep well.

4. Station Project Impact and Analysis

The station project ground excavation, earth and rock works construction will damage the the ground surface soil structure, affecting the water content of the soil and penetrability of the soil; the ground surface physical property would be worsened due to the project behaviors such as the material piling, machine rolling and compacting, staff stepping and so on; the project disturbing the ground surface would lead to the partial water and soil erosion. However, the impact of those sorts are limited to the ground surface, less possible impact on the underground water quality.

5. Temporary Project Impact and Analysis

The temporary construction site and working staff produced living rubbish, sewage would pollute the soil within the area, which could be reduced by the reinforced management, such as rubbish cleaning and moving out, no random drainage of sewage and concentrated treatment and so on, for a less impact on the water source.

6. Newly Plan Water Source Progress General and Project Impact on It and Analysis

Due to the declining of the underground water in Yilan County, the water pumping capacity is decling at

the current concentrated drinking water sources（the current well depth is about 120-130m）, unable to meet the manufacturing and life water supply in Yilan County. In accordance with the suggestions of Yilan County Government, the new water source investigation and design will be on the going. At present, the new water sources are under the investigation and design, the Peony lower reaches ground water will be initially proposed as the drinking water source.

In accordance with the 《Drinking Water Source Protection Zone Division Technical Stipulations》: the ordinary river water source: Class I protection zone water range length is the river area of no less than 1000m to the upper reaches and no less than 100m to the lower reaches. Therefore, it is suggested that the water taking mouth of the new water source should try to be selected at the lower reaches of Peony River.

（3）Protection Measurement

1. Strengthening the water source underground water survey during the construction period, increasing the water quality survey frequencies to ensure a timely and accurate knowledge of the possible impact and influential extent of the construction to the underground water environment.

2. Making a rational arrangement of the construction site; no basement, girger precasting, earth dump pit, construciton camps within the protection range; trying to use the old road for the construction assess; trying to arrange the construction sites of the small scale outside the protection area, if it is very necessary to be set within the protection area, making a rational, condensed and less land arrangement to reduce the ground surface disturbance.

3. The Domestic Wastewaterat the construction concentrated area should have the temporary water gathering tanks, digestion tanks and drop pumping vehicles, having a regular moving out treatment of the sewage and garbage.

4. The construction material with harmful substances should be placed far away from the water source, all sorts of the building material should have the rain proof and shielding facilities, the cement should not be dumped on the ground, moving away the water materials in time and be out of the water source protection area.

5. Having a strict management on the construction machinery and transportation vehicles within the protection area, no oil leakage and random wasted oil; no machine and vehicle parking and maintenance workshops within the protection area;

6. The construction units should take an intiation to contace the divisions in charge of the protection area, arranging the works by relative protection rules. Making a rational construction organization and site layout, placing the machines of large scale outside the protection area.

The transportation vehicles should be covered with the tent against the the dropping of material and dust spreading to affect inside environment.

7. Making a logical arrangement of earth and rock works, no random place and dumping. The surface fumus soil should be cleaned and moved to a temporary place within the permanent land, used for the greening on the subgrade slope and both sides of the project upon the project completion; using the film coverting method for the temporary earth piles against the water and soil erosion. Planting bastard indigos within the arch frame on the subgrade slope against soil and water erosion.

8. The construction machine maintenance points should be away from the protection area, and the hardened ground and dry tank should be made at to prevent the water and soil pollution due to the machine maintenance and cleaning. The strengened machine repairing and construction are necessary against the leaking, drip, spout. Arranging the oil insulation and gathering tank to deal with the manufacturing sewage.

9. It was suggested to increase full-time or part-time construction environment managerial staff and part-time environment supervision engineers and reinforce the environment protection rule making and performing for the provention mainly and against the water pollution.

10. An environment protection training should be taken before the construction to strengthen the staff protection awareness and standard construction behaviors against unnecessary pollution.

11. Making the emergency and precausion rules before the construction. If any water pollution event occurred unexpectedly, report it to the Environment Protection Bureau and Water Bureau of Yilan County in time and take the emergency measures against the water pollution.

8.5.4 Summary

The proposed Jiaha passenger railway project passed the 10# and 11# water-taking well with the sub-grade type within Class II protection zone. The proposed Jiaha station is at chainage CK251+570. The impact analysis during the construction period indicated that the project construction had no much possible impact on the drinking water source with the well of 120m-130m deep and relative protection measurement on the subgrade, station and temporary projects.



Drinking Water Source Concentrated Place》,that source will be halted and wasted before 2013, no pollution impact will happen would happen to the water source during the openning period. With the pre-condition of the no pollution drained to the protection area during the the construction period, Yilan County People’s Government agreed the project going through the area and having the stations.

10.3 Analysis of Atmosphere Environment Impact and Protection

Methods during the Construction Period

10.3.1 Analysis of Atmosphere Environment Impact during the Construction Period

Due to the long railway construction period, larger scale and the relative concentraded staff and

machinery, its impact on the environment are mainly in the following 2 aspects:

1. The Life and Manufacture Boilers’ Impact on the Atmosphere Environment during the Construction

During the construction of the construction, for the settlement of the staff daily manufacture and life problems, lot of sorts of small boilers were equipped at each construction camp, the smoke due to the water boiling and cooking would have certain impact on the surrounding.

2. Impact of Various Kinds of Dust on the Environment in the Earthworks and Rockworks Construction.

The atmosphere pollution during the construction period was mainy vehicle transportation dust and construction dust; the construction vehicles induced road dust took the 50% of the total, especially, the cement and earth transportation vehicles caused the road dust was more obvious, the short time dust thickness along the both sides of the carriage way was as high as 8-10 mg/m3, dusting decreased with the distance increasing. In general, dusting thickness at 200m in the downward wind direction is close to the comparison point in upward wind direction; the worst construction dusting were mainly from earthworks and rockworks excavation, loading and unloading, cement and earth mixing.

10.3.2 Protection Methods and Suggestions

1．During the construction, strengthening the staff protection awareness and the environment managemetn, strictly following the relative environment protection and construction rules and regulations issued by local governments and divisions along the project.

2．The insulation shields around the construction land should be placed effectively and cleanly. The safety warning signs should be arranged for the foundation project unfit for the shield due to some special reasons; and the insulation methods should be checked at the dangerous places.

3．The earth and rock works should be stored together and covered or solidified.

4．The person special for the cleaning should be available at site with relative water sprinkling equipment, doing the sweeping after sprinkling to reduce the dust pollution.

5．The office and living areas at the construction site should be afforested and beautified. The water boiling and cooking boilers should use the clean energy.

6．The construction rubbish cleaning has to have the closed and particular rubbish road or be hoisted with some containers, no random littering. The closed rubbish station should be set for the waste storage during the construction.

7．No burning the closed matter, substance producing poisonous and harmful gas, dust and stinky odor at the construction site.

8．The vehicle transportation should be strictly closed against earth and rock and sank dropping at the construction period; adopting the sealed vehicles to reduce the dusting and to avoid the impact on the crops on the both sides.

9．No overloading of the transportation vehicles; the wheel washing facilities should be set at the entrances and exits of the urban construction sites.

10．Strengthening the maintenance of the construction machinery and vehicles, having a regular check on the exhausion discharge of construction machinery and vehicles, no driving if the pollution discharge

overstandard; no use of the oil of worse quality, reinforce the machine maintenance to reduce the exhausion fume amount.

The atmosphere impact on the environment was temporary during the construction, reducing it to the minimum extent by means of the protection methods. The impact disappeared upon the completion of the construction.

11 Electromagnetic Environment Impact Assessment

11.1 General

11.1.1 Evaluation Scope

In accordance with the stipulation of 《Railway Project Construction Project Environment Impact

Evaluation Technological Standards》TB 10502-93 5.1.1, the television affected evaluation range

is within 50m to the outer rail central line. Due to the high speed travelling of this project train,

elevated line took a larger percentage, the evaluation scope should be enlarged. The television

electromagnetic radiation impact evaluation scope should be extended to within 80m to the outer

rail central line along the both sides of the project.

In accordance with the requirement HJ/T24-1998《500kV Super-high Pressure Power

Transformation Convey Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Evaluation Technological

Stipulations》, the evaluation range of 500kV substation power frequency electromagnetic field is

500m outside the bounding wall. Due to electric pressure 220kV at the new substation and based

on the analogue trial experiences, the importance evaluation range of the newly built traction

substation is 50m beyond the wall of the substation.

In accordance with the stipulation of 《Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Impact

Evaluation Methods and Standards》（HJ/T10.3-1996）, at the transmitter power P≤100kW, the

evaluation range should be the area centered with the aerial and the radius of 500m. In view of the

aerial radiation power all <100W at the GSM web base station and 《Mobile Telecommunication

Base Station Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Survey Methods》of State Environment

Protection Bureau and Information Industry Ministry, the survey range is the 50m around the

aerial; in the environment evaluation, the evaluation range also selected the relative radius, that is

the focused range centered with the aerial and radius of 50m at the GSMR base station.

11.1.2 Evaluation Contents

The evaluation on the electromagnetic environment impact included:

（1）The impact of the electromagnetic radiation of train moving on the resident television

receiving upon the completion of the project;

（2）The impact of the industrial power frequency electromagnetic field of newly built traction

substation;

（3）The impact of the electromagnetic radiation of the newly built GSMR base station.

The railway impact on the important radio facilities as the nearby guidance stastions, radar

stations and radio telecommunication stations above Grade II belongs to the inter-system

electromagnetic compatibilty problem, evaluated and demonstrated by the disturbance and

protection departments of railway design units, not included in this evaluation.

Note: The limited value in the table refers that the overall electromagnetic strength（magnetic

strength or power indensity） of all electromagnetic radiation at each frequency should not be

above the limit of this frequency.

The GSMR frequency of the project is 900MHz, the correspondent power indensity exporting

limit is 0.4 W/m2（40 μW/cm2）. If the total radiation could be no more than 40μW/cm2, the

environmental radiation index is up to the standard.

In order to keep the total environment radiation strength within the standard, the State

Environment Protection Bureau stipulated the single project radiation contribution amount in

《Radiation Environment Protection and Management Guidance - Electromagnetic Radiation

Environment Impact Evaluation Methods and Criteria》as follow:

“to keep the public received total light dosage less than the stipulated value set in GB8702-88, the

single project impact has to be confined to the one a certain number of the limit of GB8702-88.

The large project approved by the State Environment Protection Bureau could take 1/√2

of the

field strength limit of GB8702-88 or 1/2 of power indensity. Other projects take 1/√5

of the field

strength limit of GB8702-88 or 1/5 of power indensity as the evaluation standard.” This analysis

uses the 1/5 of power indensity as the evaluation standard temporarily, i.e. 8μW/cm2 as the project

public lighting export limit.

11.1.4 The Electromagnetic Pollution General of Electrification Railway

Upon the completion of the project, electric locomotive would produce the impluse

electromagnetic pollution due to the sliding contact of electric bow and contact web, having the

bad impact on the resident TV receiving alongside. The power frequency from the tranction power

transformation and electromagnetic radiation at the GSMR base station will also make the nearby

resident worry about the electromagnetic impact.

11.1.5 Sensitive Point General

1. TV Receiving Sensitive Point General

The site investigation could reveal the the basic condition of TV receiving sensitive points along

the project. Within the evaluation range, the residents receiving TV with the ordinary aerials easily

affected by the electrified railwail train while those receiving TV with the wire and satellites did

not basically. On the basis of all TV receiving sensitive points and the different distribution of the

sensitive points at each section, the typical points were selected to be the current status survey

2. The Current Status Analysis

The TV accompanying sound used the FM system, uneasy to be affected, considering mainly the

image signal impact with the AM system. Making the adjudgement by the CCIR recommended

image loss system 5 grades marking standard: 5 points was undetectable; 4 detectabe, but no

disgusting; 3 disgusted a little; 2 disgusting; 1 very disgusting. The general practical limits: 3

points or above was normal receiving condition. Known by the research outcomes, D/U >35db,

the TV image could reach 3 points or over, the normal receiving extent.

Revealed from the tabe 10-2-1, 8 survey points used radio to receive 35 channels within the

project evaluation scope at present, 18 of which channerl signal field strength reached the the

applicable field strength value（V section 57dBμV/m，U section 67dBμV/m） at the service

areas, 24 channels had the U/D up to the normal receiving requirement of 35db, 69% of the total

channels.

In general, the land along the project is reasonably flat, favorable to the TV signal coverage, cable

TV web ratio in the villages alongside, most residents used the normal aerials with a not bad

receiving quality.

11.3 Eectromagnetic Environment Impact Estimation and

Evaluation

11.3.1 Eectromagnetic Pollution Source Features

1. Eectromagnetic Radiation during the Eletric Locomotive Moving

（1）Contact Web Technological Comparison

The electromagnetic amount produced during moving, has a close connection with the contact

web quality. In order to estimate the electromagnetic radiation level after the opening, a

comparison should be made between the contact web technological conditions of the related line

having the electromagnetic radiation measurement and that of the project. According to the project

data, the contact web lead was recommended to use magnesium copper alloy, the contact lead

strengthing force was over 25KN, suspended with compensation elastic chain, designed speed was

250km/h. Accordingly, upon the completion of the project, the electromagnetic radiation source

strength made during the locomotive travelling could be compared to the opened Jingjin Inter-city

Railway.

Jingjin inter-city railway used the magnesium copper alloy lead, stretching force was 27KN,

designed speed was 350km/h, the basic conditions were similar to the project. Based on the survey

results aless at Jingjin line, the train made the radio interruption at the frequency point 150MHz

2dB lower than the normal speed line. According to the research results in the past, the frequency

linear curve inclining ratio of the frequency disturbance field strength at 30－1000MHz at 10m

from the line was not changed with the speed acceleration.Thus, reducing electromagnetic

radiation frequency property curve 2db at 30－1000MHz with the normal speed of 60km/h could

be the electromagnetic radiation frequency property estimation curvte for the train at speed of

250km/h upon the completion.

（2）Electromagnetic Radiation Property Change with the Speed

The figure 10-3-1 gave the speed change curve of electromagnetic radiation receiving power level

at 150MHz on the train at the high speed line(silver copper contact lead, stretching force 20000N)

according to 《High Speed Railway Electromagnetic Radiation Source Strength Determination》.

For the easy comparison, the silver copper lead estimation curve and normal speed actual survey

curve were arranged on the same piece of the drawing. Revealed by the drawing, the

electromagnetic radiation at 200－220km/h and radiation level of the normal line (50－60km/h)

were basically the same.

The radio disturbance survey results（not given in the drawing） at 15000N stretching force of

magnesium copper lead of Qinchen Railway was 5dB bigger than the silver copper lead of 20KN

stretching force estimation curve. By the rule of electromagnetic radiation declining with the

stretching force increasing, when the stretching force is 1.5-1.6 times higher, electromagnetic

radiation level reduced roughly to about 6dB. It was predicted that the disturbance at magnetisium

copper lead stretching force of 25KN was 6dB lower than the Qinsheng Railway ata 15KN, and

about 1dB lower than the silver copper lead at 20KN. And with the relationship of the silver

copper of 20KN and normal speed railway disturbance, the estimation curve of Hajia Railway

electromagnetic radiation change with the speed was known as in the figure 10-3-1.

Figure 11-2 estimation curve of electromagnetic radiation change with the speed

（3）Electromagnetic Radiation Frequency Property and Distance Feature

2）Distance Feature

The distance feature is the lateral spread feature. It is refered that each frequency in the electrified

railway radio noise declines along the vertical railway direction. When the distance along the

vertical railway direction increased once, electrified railway radio noise declines:

b=4 .28+ 1.735f

In fomula: b：frequency distance declined amount,dB；f：frequency, MHz。

With the frequency and lateral decling property, the radil noise values of eletric locomotive could

be calculated at any distance and frequency of the line by the fomula below:

Ex=E0−b⋅lg Dx−1lg 2

Ex：field strengh value to be calculated，dBμv/m ； E0：the radio noise field strength value at 10m to the electrified railway ( dBμv/m), available on

the frequency feature curve figure；Dx ：the perpendicular distance between the point to be known and the electrified railway

2. The Power Frequency Electromagnetic Field Characteristic of Traction Substation

8 new traction substations were newly built along the project, considerating mainky the impact of

the power frequency electromagnetic field and electric field on the human bodies, which could be

analized with the survey data of the substation of the same kinds.

（1）Comparison Conditions

Comparing and surveying traction substation was Sui Mid-north substation of Qinsheng Railway,

220kV high prossure inported, low pressure exported. There are 2 main voltage changers with the

basic conditions same with the new traction substation of the project.

（2）Comparison Survey Contents

value of 4kV/m in HJ/T24-1998.

3. GSMR Base Station Produced Electromangetic Radiation Properties

The project radio telecommunication system used the GSMR web system settlement scheme,

loading frequency used 885～889 MHz upwards and 930～934 MHz downwards. The single

loading frequency maximum designed power was 60W, referring to table 10-3-1 for detail:

Down angle of inclination is 7°。If equipped with multi-

loading wave, the antenna Before the input of antenna, having base station combinator loss, wire

inputting power loss, feeder loss and function dividor loss.

The project substation working frequency were 885～889 MHz upwards and 930～934 MHz

downwards, belonging to microwave frequency. The value power indensity at certain distance to

the aerial could be calculated by the fomula below:

pd=P⋅G

4⋅π⋅r2

(mW/cm2)

In fomular: P—— transmitter power (mW)；G—— aerial gain(times)；R—— the axial distance of the survey point to the aerial (cm)

Whiling working at the single load frequency, considering the feeder line loss before the aerial

input and power distributor loss, the aerial input power was about P＝19W. While working at the

multi-load frequency, the value was lower than at the single load frequency considering the

combining tool loss, taking in the single load frequency transmitter power and aerial gain dBi＝17（dBd＝14.85）, calculating the aerial radiation field strengh in axial and the semi-power

angle direction at the differenct distances. The calculated values were as in the table 10-3-2, the

aerial height by 35m at the Mid-base station .

Revealed by the table above, 24m away from the aerial, the field strength at any height was lower

than 8μW/cm2, as shown in the figure 10-3-5 for the overstandard area. Due to the GSMR aerial

Area overstandard

Base station pylon

horizontal wave band width is about 65° and about 12m at the position of 20m in the aerial axial

direction, it was roughly determined that the aerial overstandard area was the zone centered with

the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line direction. Besides,

according to the vertical aerial wave bunch width and down-inclind angle, the aerial energy was

calculated roughly focus at the point 6m downwards the aerial erection height. When the base

station worked with the multi-load frequency, its radiation power was less than the single

frequency output power, no impact beyone the single load frequency area.

To summarize the table above: at present, 24 channel of 35 TV channels receiving programs by

aerials at 8 survey points reached the signal-to-noise ratio of 35dB required for the normal

receiving before the project. After the project, the signal-to-noise ratio reduced quite much, only

16 channels left were up to the signal-to-noise ratio requirement.

Due to the higher speed grade of this project, there are a lot of overbridges and high subgrades

along the line. Besides the electromagnetic radiation, the fast movement of the overbridge train

while passing by and the reflective shielding impact damaged the radio telecommunication

channels seriously and caused the quick declining of the receiving signals and affected the normal

TV receival.

2. raction Substation Impact Estimation

8 new traction substations were newly built in this project. Based on the comparison above,

estimation analysis was as follows:

（1）The power frequency electromagnetic field was a little above 0.2μT at the substation wall;

no more than 0.1μT of the power frequency electromagnetic field strength 20m to the traction

substation wall, much lower the recommended value of 0.1mT in HJ/T24-1998, 0.1％ of the state

recommended limit. Thus, the power frequency electromagnetic field produced by the traction

substation was in line with the requirement set in HJ/T24-1998.

（2）The power frequency electric field strength was no more than 300V/m at the substation

wall; 200V/m or so 20m away from the wall, much lower the recommended value of 4kV/m in

HJ/T24-1998, 5％ of the state recommended limit. Thus, the power frequency electromagnetic

field produced by the traction substation at 220kV was in line with the requirement set in HJ/T24-

1998.

3. GSMR Base Station Afffection Estimation

By calculation, when the GSMR bast station worked with the single frequency, centered with the

aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and the

rectangular space of 6m downwards the aerial erection height was the aerial overstandard area.

When the base station worked with the multi-load frequency, its radiation power was less than the

single frequency output power, no impact beyone the single load frequency area.

11.4 Evaluation Conclusions

1. TV Receiving Impact Conclusions

Upon the completion of the project, the signal-to-noise ratio of each channel due to the

electromagnetic radiation from the train travelling reduced greatly. 24 channel of 35 TV channels

receiving programs by aerials at 8 survey points reached the signal-to-noise ratio of 35dB required

for the normal receiving before the project. After the project, the signal-to-noise ratio reduced

quite much, only 16 channels left were up to the signal-to-noise ratio requirement.





TV receival with the ordinary aerials.

Because the cable TV web ratio in the villages alongside was quite low, most households used the

ordinary aerials for TV, it was predicted that the project construction would have an obvious bad

affect on the resident TV watching.

2. Traction Substation Impact Conclusion

Based on the analogous data, the power frequency electric field and the power frequency magnetic

reaction were lower, in line with the recommended corresponding limit requirements in HJ/T24-

1998. The corridor traction substation high voltage inported was not within the project range, its

environmental impact should be organized by the relative electric divisions.

3. GSMR Base Station Impact Conclusion

By the calculation and analysis above, the rectangular space, centered with the aerial, 24m along

the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m downwards the aerial

erection height, was the aerial overstandard area（under control）, namely, the radiation indensity

outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with the requirements of

GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996.

11.4.1 Treatment Methods and Suggestions

1. Suggestions on TV Watching Impact Treatment

Upon the completion of the construction, the eletromagnetic radiation to the residents TV

watching alongside due to the passing-by trains could be eliminated by the cable TV net

connection, and the train body reflection and shielding impact could also be settled. Based on the

estimation results, it was suggested to reserve the cable TV net compensation cost or satellite

aerial purchasing cost for the possible affected households at the sensitive points. The total

reserved compensation cost is 719,000 RMB￥ with 500 RMB￥/household, referring to the table

10-3-4. The compensation should not be made until the actual affected tested upon the completion

of the project and openning.

8 new traction substations were newly built along the project, in accordance with the comparison

and analysis, the power frequency electromagnetic field and electric field at the substation wall

were far lower than the standards state recommended. However, in order to further reduce the

electromagnetic impact and resident apprehension, it was suggested the final location of the

substation be as far as possible from the sensitive objects as the residential areas.

3. Suggestions on GSMR Base Station Radiation Protection

The project adopted the GSMR digital radio telecommunication system, but the station location

has been decided yet so far. By the calculation above, the rectangular space, centered with the

aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m

downwards the aerial erection height, was the aerial overstandard area（under control）, namely,

the radiation indensity outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with

the requirements of GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996. It was suggested the location of the base

substation be avoid within the overstandarded areas and as far as possible from the sensitive

objects.

11.4.2 Summary

1. The Current Evaluation Conclusion

At present, 8 survey points used radio to receive 35 channels within the project evaluation scope,

18 of which channerl signal field strength reached the the applicable field strength value（V

section 57dBμV/m，U section 67dBμV/m） at the service areas, 24 channels had the U/D up to

the normal receiving requirement of 35db, 69% of the total channels.

In general, the land along the project is reasonably flat, favorable to the TV signal coverage, cable

TV web ratio in the villages alongside, most residents used the normal aerials with a not bad

receiving quality.

2. Estimation Evaluation Summary

（1）TV Receiving Evaluation Summary

Upon the completion of the project, the signal-to-noise ratio of each channel due to the

electromagnetic radiation from the train travelling reduced greatly. 24 channel of 35 TV channels

receiving programs by aerials at 8 survey points reached the signal-to-noise ratio of 35dB required

for the normal receiving before the project. After the project, the signal-to-noise ratio reduced

quite much, only 16 channels left were up to the signal-to-noise ratio requirement.





TV receival with the ordinary aerials.

Because the cable TV web ratio in the villages alongside was quite low, most households used the

ordinary aerials for TV, it was predicted that the project construction would have an obvious bad

affect on the resident TV watching.

（2）Traction Substation Impact Summary

Based on the analogous data, the power frequency electric field and the power frequency magnetic

reaction were lower, in line with the recommended corresponding limit requirements in HJ/T24-

1998. The corridor traction substation high voltage inported was not within the project range, its

environmental impact should be organized by the relative electric divisions.

（3）GSMR Base Station Impact Conclusion

By the estimation and analysis above, the rectangular space, centered with the aerial, 24m along

the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m downwards the aerial

erection height, was the aerial overstandard area（under control）, namely, the radiation indensity

outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with the requirements of

GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996.

3. Electromagnetic Protection Methods

（1）TV Watching Impact and Protection Methods

Upon the completion of the construction, the eletromagnetic radiation to the residents TV

watching alongside due to the passing-by trains could be eliminated by the cable TV net

connection, and the train body reflection and shielding impact could also be settled. It was

suggested to reserve the cable TV net compensation cost or satellite aerial purchasing cost for the

possible affected households at the sensitive points. The total reserved compensation cost is

719,000 RMB￥ with 500 RMB￥/household, referring to the table 10-3-4. The compensation

should not be made until the actual affected tested upon the completion of the project and

openning.

（2）Traction Substation Impact and Protection Methods

8 new traction substations were newly built along the project, in accordance with the comparison

and analysis, the power frequency electromagnetic field and electric field at the substation wall

were far lower than the standards state recommended. However, in order to further reduce the

electromagnetic impact and resident apprehension, it was suggested the final location of the

substation be as far as possible from the sensitive objects as the residential areas.

（3）GSMR Base Station Radiation Protection Suggestions

The project adopted the GSMR digital radio telecommunication system, but the station location

has been decided yet so far. By the calculation above, the rectangular space, centered with the

aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m

downwards the aerial erection height, was the aerial overstandard area（under control）, namely,

the radiation indensity outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with

the requirements of GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996. It was suggested the location of the base

substation be avoid within the overstandarded areas and as far as possible from the sensitive

objects.

12Environment Impact Analysis of Solid Wastes

12.1 General

This project will involve solid waste treatment for railway stations and entities along the railway, among which Harbin Station and Jiamusi Station are designated discharge points of passenger train rubbish. This project will have the following solid wastes during construction and operation periods:

1. Demolition wastes and domestic rubbish from construction camps.

2. Station domestic rubbish by waiting passengers.

3. Passenger train domestic rubbish.

4. Station staff domestic rubbish.

11.1. Environment Impact Analysis of Solid Wastes

12.1.1 Rubbish from Construction Period and Demolition

Domestic rubbish by construction workers decays fast with odors and flies, affecting constructors’ health and the environment and needing timely treatment. Demolition wastes will be left from removing of houses and construction camps, and will also have some impact to the environment.

This project will totally demolish houses of 47.83×104m2. According to demolition waste rate 0.68m3/m2 in experiences, the project estimated demolition wastes will be 32.52×104m3.

12.1.2 Estimation of Domestic Rubbish by Waiting Passengers at Stations and by Train Passengers

Waiting and travelling passengers will produce some amount of domestic rubbish such as disposable food boxes, cans, glass & plastic bottles, shells and littering.

1. Domestic Rubbish by Waiting Passengers

Waiting passenger domestic rubbish at stations is calculated on the basis of the designed passenger delivery. According to waiting passenger domestic rubbish of 0.0135kg/h·person and average waiting time of 0.5h, the calculated values are shown in Table 12-1.

Table 12-44 Amount of Domestic Rubbish by Waiting Passengers at Stations (t/a)

Yilan - Jiamusi 648 808 43.74 54.54

Total 2944 3678 198.72 248.27

2. Passenger Train Rubbish

Passenger train rubbish is mainly produced by travelling passengers and crew.

12.1.3 Station Staff Domestic Rubbish

Various stations will also produce domestic rubbish in their normal operation.

The designed new staff members are 1,359 persons. At a rate of 0.4kg per person-day, the calculated new staff domestic rubbish is 198.41t/a.

12.1.4 Sludge and Slick

Sludge from sewage treatment in normal railway operation will be collected by designated persons and transported to garbage landfill for central treatment. Slick from waste water treatment is 0.09Kg/d. As a state listed hazardous waste, slick shall be stored according to GB18597-2001 Specification for Storage Pollution Control of Hazardous Wastes before sending to authorized receiving organization for central treatment.

12.2 Measures to be Taken and Suggestions

In normal operation of the railway, the waiting passenger domestic rubbish at stations will be 198.72t/a in the near term and 248.27 t/a in the long term. Demolition waste during construction will be 32.52×104m3

and new station staff domestic rubbish will be 198.41t/a.

If demolition waste can not be disposed timely, station domestic rubbish will destroy and pollute the areas along the railway and at the stations.

1. Domestic rubbish from construction camps shall be collected by designated persons and transported to related authorities for central treatment. Demolition waste from removing houses and camps shall be cleaned thoroughly and transported to designated spoil yard and other designated places.

2. ,With intensified management and promotion, as required by file 1996 No.9 Notification about Implementation of Railway Fast Food Box Upgrading, faster degrading or more recyclable and safer paper boxes and photo-bio degradable polypropylene fast food boxes.

3. A system of passenger train rubbish fixed point discharge will be established. Random discharge will be prohibited. As required by the Railway Ministry file 1995 No.178 Notification about Publication of Methods of Supervision and Management for Comprehensive Treatment of Railway Rubbish Pollution, rubbish bags will be provided on trains and discharged only at Harbin and Jiamusi Stations, where domestic rubbish by station staff and waiting passengers will be collected together and sent to environment authorities for central treatment.

4. Sludge from sewage treatment shall be collected by designated persons and sent to spoil yards for central treatment. Slick shall be collected and sent to authorized receiving organizations for central treatment.

5. Environment-related propaganda shall be made to passengers at stations to enhance their environment sense and minimize littering and environment impacts.

In summary, in spite that the project after completed will increase solid wastes at various railway stations, with strict implementation of the above mentioned fixed point discharge, timely collection, central

treatment and intensified rubbish discharge management of rubbish, the solid wastes will be taken into municipal rubbish treatment system or comprehensively recycled, and won’t bring negative impact on the surrounding environment.

13.5 Dealing with Public Opinions

1. Dealing with General Public Opinions

(1) Land take and Relocation Issues

The assessment requires the railway owner strictly follow national regulations on land take, and consult related local government departments. In “serve the people” principle, policy transparency and compensation transparency should be increased. Land take and relocation work shall adequately respect local people’s opinions and be in a process of first compensation then construction.

The railway authorities shall closely collaborate with related local departments with minimized intermediate steps and higher policy transparency in publicizing compensation rate and implementing relocation and compensation work. Compensation rate for those directly affected shall not be lower than their existing living quality.

(2) Noise and Vibration Treatment Measures

In principles “first pollution source treatment, second transmission control, third affected point protection”, the assessment reckons that railway noise and vibration reducing measures shall be considered first, and then acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows are considered at affected points. Noise and vibration treatment measures in the whole line include:

3.15m-high acoustic barriers to be set up at 46 bridge sections, totally 15,380m long;①

3m-high acoustic barriers to be set up at 43 subgrade sections, totally 12,096m long; 7m-high②

acoustic barriers to be set up at 1 subgrade section 380m long.

Sound-isolating windows at 132 places of 107,550m③ 2, subject to actually measured noise level

in trial operation period, and to be installed if out of limit;

Based on estimated vibration and taken protective measures, 1,194 households will be④

relocated;

The whole line noise reducing investment will be RMB 270,187,000.⑤

Along the whole line, in order to reach related standards or meet functional requirement, noise

reducing measures will include sound-isolating windows at 41 sensitive points, relocation

combined with application of sound-isolating windows at 8 sensitive points, acoustic barriers plus

sound-isolating windows at 47 sensitive points, relocation combined with acoustic barriers and

sound-isolating windows at 36 sensitive points, relocation combined with acoustic barriers at 1

sensitive point, and acoustic barriers at 6 sensitive points.

(3) Environment Impacts during Construction Period

The report has clearly expressed that, the constructor shall establish an environment-friendly construction responsibility system to reduce noise and dust, and minimize disturbance to residents’

life, study and work.

Construction site shall be located as far as possible from sensitive points like residential areas. Within construction boundary, construction machines shall be arranged reasonably, with big-noise machines located on the side farer from sensitive points.

Construction site shall be reasonably arranged, and noise shall be measured or estimated accordingly, especially on the side of sensitive points. If noise is out of limit, effective means like anti-dumping pads and coverings may be used.

Operation time shall be reasonably arranged, with big-noise operations avoided in day time.

Construction roads and vehicle running time shall be reasonably planned, avoiding passing through villages to minimize noise pollution to residents.

The constructor shall establish a safety and environment-friendly construction responsibility system to educate construction workers and standardize constriction operations.

(4) Impact of Traffic Isolation

The project will include 294 newly built culverts. After deducting length of bridges and tunnels, the new railway has 1.96 culverts per kilometer at an average. In addition, the whole line will have 62 bridges. These measures will facilitate farmer’s vehicles and relieve farmers’ normal production and communication.

2. Dealing with Opinions from Administrative Departments and Experts

Addressing requirements raised by related environment administrations, the assessing organization implemented strict quality policy and referred to local urban development plans in making the assessment. They strictly implemented national and local environment standards and requirements, analyzed and demonstrated protective measures in the design, and raised economically reasonable and practicable supplementary measures and suggestions.

3. Dealing with Public Opinions from Binjiang New Town and Jiada Community

(1) Binjiang New Town Residential Area

1) Railway Route Selection

Existing Binjiang Railway and Binjiang Station Yard have been operation for years. Binjiang New Town is a new relocated residential area completed in January 2010. The route close to the residential area has three parallel tracks. The closest building row is 25m to the existing railway and 30m to the present project. The new Harbin – Jiamusi Railway will utilize the existing Binjiang Railway to lead to Harbin Station. This is an urban route part approved by Harbin City Planning Bureau and avoids cutting newly built urban area. It is the optimum route and a necessary passage leading to Harbin Station. This route has been included into Harbin Urban General Plan (2010-2020) which has been submitted to State Council for approval.

2) Dealing with Public Opinions

Holding Meetings①

The high number of negative opinions from Binjiang New Town on the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project has called great attention from Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Passenger Transportation Preparatory Team, the design institute and the assessing organization. They decided to further

communicate with the public by holding meetings. A notice was given on August 23, 2010 to those respondents holding negative opinions about the time, place and agenda of meeting.

Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Preparatory Team held a meeting with public participants from Binjiang New Town in the team’s meeting room on September 2, 2010. The participants included 8 representatives from Harbin City Planning Bureau, Harbin City Environment Bureau, Harbin City Daowai District Urban Construction Bureau, the Railway Preparatory Team and the designer & assessor Railway No.3 Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation, as well as 9 resident representatives of Binjiang New Town (see the attached name list).

In the meeting, the Preparatory Tem introduced the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Construction Project, explained major related environment issues and measures to the resident representatives, and exchanged detailed ideas with these resident representatives.

Dealing with the Opinions②

The representatives of organizations made explanations addressing each of the questions asked by the public:

a. Addressing the Binjiang Yard issue, Hajia Passenger Transportation Line Company made a general introduction of the railway project. The existing Binjiang Yard does not belong to the railway project. The company will only utilize the existing Binjiang railway furthest from the residential area, and will not make any change to the existing Binjiang Yard for the moment. The public expressed their understanding of the fact.

b. As to the resident concerned train whistle issue, as site investigated, buildings G2 and G4 mainly have the noise from existing railway passenger and cargo train whistles and Binjiang Yard shunting operation. Buildings F11 and F12 are mainly affected by Binjiang Yard shunting operation noise. Buildings D1, D4 and D5 are mainly disturbed by existing railway passenger and cargo train whistles and traffic noise.

The following measures are taken to relieve the above noise and vibration:

a. The noise in this residential area comes mainly from whistles which became apparent after residents of east building G4 cut open railway fence walls for their own convenience of crossing the railway, causing whistle disturbance to buildings G2 and G4. Hajia Railway will close the fences to avoid people crossing railway, and then the whistle noise will be effectively reduced;

Buildings F11 and F12 are mainly disturbed by Binjiang Yard shunting operations. The new railway project will provide a 7m-high acoustic barrier and install sound-isolating windows on the side of locomotive shunting operation, to effectively relieve noise.

Buildings D1, D4 and D5: This project will adopt level-crossing man attendance to reduce whistles. Besides, buildings D1, D4 and D5 will be installed with sound-isolating windows.

In addition, train flow of existing railway is 12 cargo train pairs and 38.5 passenger train pairs on

jointed track. The new project will have of train flow of 6 passenger train pairs, 56 pairs of 8-car

high-speed trains and 29 pairs of 16-car high-speed trains. The existing Binjiang Railway utilized

by Hajia Passenger Transportation Project will cancel cargo trains and the tracks will be jointless

and totally closed with fence. Because cargo trains are removed, tracks and trains are upgraded,

the project in normal operation will have an improved noise level than the present situation.

The public expressed their support and positive opinion on the proposed noise and vibration reducing measures.

b. The public concerned electromagnetic pollution issue was addressed by the designing and assessing institute. Harbin-Jiamusi Passenger Transportation Line operates by electric traction with no traction substations and GSMR base stations, and will not bring EM emission and harm to local residents. The public expressed their positive opinion.

c. Also the relocation issue was addressed by the organization participants. This residential area is more than 30m from the existing Binjiang line to be utilized by Harbin-Jiamusi Line, and will not be relocated.

After further understanding of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project and its operation, the residents worry about EM emission was removed. With the proposed acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows, noise level in this area during normal operation would be greatly reduced, which is convincible and supported by the residents. Finally, the Binjiang New Town residents expressed that their main concern was the Binjiang Yard noise, and understand and support the construction and operation of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project.

In the meeting, the Preparatory Team introduced related information about the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project, explained main environment issues and measures relating to the project to resident representatives from Jiada Community and the neighborhood, and exchanged detailed ideas with the resident representatives.

Dealing with Public Opinions②

The meeting participants from organizations addressed each of the public concerned issues:

a. The public concerned environment question was clearly answered by Jiamusi City Planning Bureau. The railway administration is working with the Planning Bureau for environment upgrading. The urban environment along the railway will be surely improved. Besides, there’ll be a drainage system on sides of the railway, eliminating the public concerned problem of railway sewage flowing into residential areas.

b. Addressing the noise pollution, Jiamusi City Environment Bureau clearly expressed that acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows would be set up at Jiada Community and Jialian Community crossed by the railway. Then, the noise and vibration pollution will definitely be improved.

c. The relocation compensation issue concerned by the public was clearly explained in the meeting. The residents involved will be compensated according to related standards.

With the proposed acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows, noise level in this area during normal operation of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway would be greatly reduced, which is convincible and supported by the residents. With further understanding of the construction and operation type of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project, the residents released their worries, and understand and support the construction and operation of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project.

13.6 Opinions from Second Round Public Participation

After completion of the whole text of the report, the assessing institute in collaboration with the railway owner conducted the second public survey among key sensitive areas and related governmental departments, soliciting public opinions on environment impact relieving measures proposed in EIA report of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project, including ecological protection measures, noise & vibration reducing measures, EMC emission reducing measures, air quality improving measures and water environment protective measures, and inquiring public ideas for environment relieving measures.

the total output value RMB 11.59 billions yuan for agriculture, forestry, herd and fishery.

14.2.4 Status and development of communications and transportation along the line

The transportation is fast and convenient along the Ha-Jia Passenger Line where a three-dimensional traffic network, including waterway, land transportation and airway, and an international river and sea combined transportation routes has been formed.

1. Railway

The existing railways concerned with the Ha-jia Railway Line in the Ha-jia Corridor ：Bin-Bei Railway, Sui-Jia Railway, Tu-Jia Railway, Jia-Fu Railway, Etc. In 2007, 24 pairs of passenger trains were opened in section from Harbin to Sui Hua in this corridor, and 16 pairs opened in section from Sui Hua to Nan Cha, and 15 pairs opened in section from Nan Cha to Jiamusi. This line, together with Ha-Da Passenger Line and Ha-Qi Inter-City Line and Ha-Mu Passenger Line, will form a rapid passenger transport net in Northeast China, which will improve the passenger and goods transportation capability of “Three Longitudinal Four Transversal” railway network in Northeast China.

2. Highways

The major transportation routes in Ha-Jia Corridor include Ha-Jia Express Highway, Ha-Yi Express

Highway（Harbin to Sui Hua）, national highway G221, G222,etc.

3. Civil aviation

Along the line, there are Harbin Airport and Jiamusi Airport. In recent years, the volume of passenger traffic rises rapidly with the economic fast growth and rising living standard.

In 2008, Heilongjiang Airport Group Company completed a passenger handling capacity of 5.41 millions and a cargo handling capacity of 60,000 tons, in which, 4.98 millions passengers and 58,000 tons goods for

Harbin airport ；110,000 passengers and 226 tons goods for Jiamusi airport, accounting for 94.09% and 97.04% of Heilongjiang Province's total handling capacity.

4. Water transport

Harbin Port is among the biggest eight inland ports in China and is also the biggest inland port in northeastern China. Its waterway routes reach all over Songhua River, Heilong River, Wusuli River and Nen River, and coonects with some Russian ports in the far east. Through the river/sea combined transport line, the vessel can go through Gulf of Tartary in the east and directly reach Japan , Korea , S. Korea and Southeast Asia.At present, Harbin has two ports: passenger port(Bei Qi Dao Street, Dao Wai District) and cargo port(San Ke Shu, Tai Ping District).

14.3 Analysis of engineering construction's impact on local socio-

economic environment

14.3.1 Significance and function of the line in the local economy and road net

Ha-Jia Railway Line is the special passenger transport line also with inter-city transportation function, and is the important part of the rapid railway passenger transport network in Northeastern China. This project shorten the space-time distance between Harbin to Jiamusi even to Tong Jiang, Shuang He Shan, and He Gang, and will become the most expedient passenger transport corridor from the northeastern region of Heilongjiang Province to Harbin and North China.

This project will enable separation of passenger and goods lines along Ha-Jia Corridor, and extends the Ha-Da special passenger line to northeastern part of Heilongjiang Province, which can enhance the northeastern road net's backbone and optimize the rapid passenger transport net layout in Northeastern China and build another rapid big-capability railway corridor with separate passenger and goods lines. This project is of great importance to solve the contradiction between the Ha-Jia Corridor's existing big traffic volume and small transport capacity and ensure the enforcement of state strategy- Revival Of Old Industrial Bases In Northeastern China.

This line will connects with special passenger transport lines in the whole railway system via Ha-Da Passenger Line to run the rapid passenger transport net into all regions of Heilongjiang, extending the coverage radius of the rapid passenger transport net, but only giving full play to passenger transport line but also meeting the demand on inter-city rapid passenger transport along the line. This project will much shorten the space-time distance between Heilongjiang Province's northeastern part and Harbin, even Northern China. This will be helpful to sophisticate the Harbin Metropolis and accelerate the urbanization along the line. This project is also of great importance to the economic cooperation and integration in Northeastern China.

Meanwhile, this project can also improve the passengers' comfort, greatly improve the railway service, and demonstrate the philosophy of harmonic railway for the people.

Construction of this line and separation of passenger and goods lines in Ha-Jia Corridor will contribute to smooth operation of railways after Sino-Russia ports, cooperation of both countries based on division of labor to push development of regional economy and booming of border area in Northeastern China. It is a strategic choice to implement Chinese energy and sustainable development policies.

14.3.2 Necessities for the project construction

1. The project is a powerful action to extend the railway rapid passenger transport net coverage, adapt to regional climatic conditions, improve service qualities, embody harmonic railway and people oriented vision.

HaJiacorridor attracts a large passenger flow from the following cities: Harbin, Kiamusze, Shuangheshan, He Gang, Yi Chun, etc. with a very big transport demand. So it becomes urgent to quicken the railway construction pace in this area. In 2007, the existing Ha-Jia Railway Line completed a passenger movement density of 7.29 millions (single direction), only second to Ha-Da, Shen-Shan(Qin-Shan) and Ha-Ji Corridor in Northeast China.

Now engineering construction for Ha-Da and Ha-Qi passenger transport special lines have already begun, and Ha-Du and Ha-Jia new corridors are under plan. After it is built up, the line will form a rapid passenger transport network in Heilongjiang Province, and connects with special passenger transport lines in the whole railway system via Ha-Da Passenger Line to run the rapid passenger transport net into all regions of Heilongjiang, extending the coverage radius of the rapid passenger transport net, not only giving full play to passenger transport line but also meeting the demand on inter-city rapid passenger transport along the line. This project will much shorten the space-time distance between Heilongjiang Province's northeastern part and Harbin, even Northern China. This will be helpful to sophisticate the Harbin Metropolis and accelerate the urbanization along the line. This project is also of great importance to the economic cooperation and integration in Northeastern China.

According to the survey on the passengers along the line, passengers prefer train as the cold weather is long in this area where the freezing and snow weather take about half a year. Under this special climatic condition, the advantage of railway transport is clear. So the local passengers more rely on railway

compared with other regions and the railway becomes the first choice for more than 60% of local passengers. This project can also improve the passengers' comfort, greatly improve the railway service, and demonstrate the philosophy of harmonic railway for the people.

2. This project is necessary for the passage routes after Sino-Russia ports to be smooth.

Russia has a very rich natural resources and its reserves of timber, petroleum oil, natural gas, coal and non-ferrous metals are all take leading roles in the world, while the resources of timber, coal, petroleum oil, ore mineral, etc. are relatively scare and agricultural by-products, vegetables, fruits and labor are rich in China. This provides a great development potential and favorable conditions for both countries to have mutually beneficial cooperation and exploit the resources and markets jointly. In recent years, the business and economic cooperation between two countries is dynamic. Since 1999, the annual growth rate of the trading volume has been 28.6% with status of trade partners increasing rapidly. The corridor formed by this line together with the existing Ha-Jia Line is the passage routes after the Tong Jiang, Fu Yuan and Hei He Trading Ports with Russia on Heilongjiang River. After the Heilongjiang Grand Bridges are built up at Tong Jiang and Hei He, the transporting volume through the ports will increase dramatically. This project will play a vital role in the following areas: ensure the smooth passage after the above Sino-Russia ports, speed up the development of the ports concerned, enhance the cooperation and complementation between two countries in the fields of economy, push regional economic development and boom the border area in Northeastern China.

3. This project is necessary in implementing Chinese energy policies and sustainable development strategy.

Dynamic growth of Chinese economy relies on the rapid consumption of petroleum and so it more and more depends on the imported petroleum. The rising oil price put higher pressure on Chinese economy. The characteristics of Chinese energy formation: more coal and less oil, will make China to follow the energy policy of Coal as Main Energy for a long term. So it becomes necessary to transform and use much more coal in China. The newly built Ha-Jia electric railway Line takes electricity as dynamic force and reduces the oil consumption, conforming to Chinese energy policy, which is of great importance to reduce the international political risk and ensure Chinese economic security and national security.

In addition, according to the analysis based on energy consumption, the unit consumption of energy for highways and aviation are 2.3 and 6 times that of railway, respectively. In view of land occupation, four-

lane express highway is 2.5～3 times that of railway. Meanwhile, this line uses electric powered train set without no emission of harmful gases. The railway also safer than express highway. Therefore, the special passenger line is undoubtedly the best choice in terms of land occupancy, energy-saving, environment protection, safety, etc. in order to build a resources-saving and environmental-friendly society and realize the harmonic coexistence of human and nature and the sustainable development strategy.

In summary, this line will form a integrated transportation system with prominent advantages and reasonable functions between Harbin and Jiamus and greatly improves the transportation service level along this corridor. Meanwhile, this line, together with Ha-Da passenger transport special line, Ha-Ji Inter-city Line, Ha-Mu passenger line, forms a rapid passenger transport net in Northeast China, improving the passenger and goods capability of Northeast China's "Three Longitudinal Four Transversal" railway network and significant to push the Sino-Russia trade and Northeastern Asia development. Furthermore, this line will give full play to the guiding and promoting functions of the rail traffic and promote regional economy integration. Therefore, this project is very necessary and should be given priority in state investment plan and constructed in time.

14.4 Land take, building demolish and relocation

14.4.1 Environmental impact of land take and relocation

（1）Land occupancy

This project will occupy a arable land area of 903.20hm2, taking 63.77% of the whole permanent land area (see Table 14-4-1for details).The railway's land occupancy will reduce local land area per capita and the

local grain yield. Based on the calculations of the mean grain yields in recent years in the districts concerned, the railway construction will reduce the grain production by about 3836.5t/a, and will bring

adverse effect on the farmers in the villages and towns where the land is expropriated. Besides, the project will occupy some orchard and forestland, which also reduce the incomes of farmers concerned.

Size and classification of the permanently occupied lands by engineering design are lised in Table 14-2.

The demolished buildings' floor area along the the whole line is 478,324m2, including 341, 100m2 for the

demolished common buildings in rural area, 71.31% of the total demolished area ； 41,844m2 for demolished urban and town dwellers' buildings, 8.75% of the total demolished area.

The total number of people to be affected by this project is 11, 659, including 3, 290 people/686 families in rural area, among which 2, 255 people/479 famalies are affected by expropriated land and 1,035 people/207families are affected by demolishing in rural area, meanwhile 220 people/46 families are affected by expropriated and demolished lands; and 4,672 people/1,194 families in urban area.

The relocation will undoubtedly bring inconveniences to them temporalily.

14.4.2 Relevant policies and regulations

The laws and regulations to be observed in the land expropriating, building demolishing and relocation are as follows:

Government》（Hei Zheng Ban Fa 〔2008〕no. 4, Jan., 27, 2008）14.4.3 Objectives of land take, building demolishing and relocation

Land take and buildings on it to be demolished as well as relocation of residents on it is a complex social system engineering. To secure the benefits of both the residents and railway investors, the demolishing and relocation must be done in accordance with the relevant state and local codes and regulations.

The primary objectives of the land take, building demolishing and residents' relocation for the railway are as follows: to promote the development of local economy, and give the residents concerned compensation not lower than their former income and housing levels.

Compensation due to expropriated land and residents' relocation is a complex work with many policies, laws and regulations involved. The investors and constructors should closely coordinate with local governments and residents concerned. With the principle of balancing the benefits among the state, communities and individuals as well as reasonable compensation and relocation, the farmers whose land to be expropriated should be granted compensation fees in time, exempted of their tax on land occupation, redistributed with new land or arrange for other jobs in order to ease their economic burden due to land expropriating and give a perfect solution to their livelihoods.

14.4.4 Residents' relocation

（1）Basic principles of demolishing and relocation

1.The rural residents take a large proportion among all the affected residents. Their relocation principle is to move backwards from the original sites and to open up new housing ground locally and ensure the new residential standard not below that before relocation.

2.The urban residents are mainly compensated in cash based on the housing market price.

（2）Relocation measures

According to the regulations relevant to the compensation for the construction land of the Law of Land

Management of the People's Republic of China, the residents' relocation measures as follows：1. Firstly, the developer is in charge of working out the action plan for the residents' relocation, and according to established land take scope, commission the local territory administration to expropriate the land, and pay the compensation fee for the relocation due to expropriated land.

2. After accepting the commission, local territory bureau signs the land take contract with county and township according to the state and local government's relevant regulations.

3. The county and township governments do the relocation for the involuntary residents according to relevant land take provisions.

4. For the residents involuntary for relocation, the government must ensure their living standards not below removal.

5. The residents to be removed must be compensated rigorously in accordance with the relevant regulations and polices and the compensation principle should be followed up.

6. Any problems arising in land take and residents' relocation should be solved in time according to relevant regulations and policies without pending issues.

14.4.5 Compensation standards and payment

（1）Compensation standard

Dominant factors and criteria considered in compensation cost calculation are listed in Table 14-3 and Table 14-4, State and Heilongjiang Province's Compensation Fee Standards for Expropriated Land.

According to 《Guiding on Completing the Compensation and Relocation System for the Expropriated Land》, “ the multiplying factor for the annual value of production for the land compensation fees and relocation grants, should be fixed according to the statutory provisions with the principle of not lowering the farmers' original living standards. The compensation and relocation expenses are calculated as per the statutory unified multiplying factor for annual value of production and the farmers should be secured with the original living standard. If it is inadequate to compensate for the farmers' social security expenses, the multiplying factor could be increased upon

the approval of the provincial government；Land compensation fees and relocation grants are totally calculated as per 30 times. If it is not adequate to keep the farmers' original living standards, the local government will have unified planning and overall arrangement to allot the earnings from state land compensated use by a proportion for allowance.For the basic farmland approved for use according to law, the compensation will be as per the highest compensation standard published by the local government. ”

Compensation fee for young crop and overground attachments：Compensation fee for young crop on the expropriated land is calculated as per output value in one cultivating period. Not compensated for those capable of harvesting as anticipated.For the seedlings, flower and grass and

perennial trees of economic value, etc., if can be transplantated, pay the transplanting expenses ； if can't, give reasonable compensation or buyout.

The compensation standard for attachments to the expropriated land will be agreed by both parties. If it can't be agreed, it is conformed through appraisal by theappraisal organization recognized by both parties or designated by municipal or county government.

（2）Payment

1.All the land take and relocation compensation fees should be paid to the grass-root administrative units where the land is expropriated, usually to county, town or village. These grass-roots administrative units manage these compensation fees and use them in the production and employment of the surplus labor due to land take and provide living subsidies to the people incapable of working.

2.All the compensation fees for young crop and gainful non-crop land should be paid to the affected parties.Compensation prices should be based on classes of crops and cash crops.

3.For the fencing wall, water well, graveyard and other nonmovable personal properties, if they are damaged due to land take, the affected individuals will be compensated as per the property value fixed according to local situation.

4.The local government will arrange the residential sites for the emigratory farmers and compensate them the cost of removal according to local situation.

14.4.6 Relocation and income restoration plan

The people to be affected by the land expropriating and relocation can be divided into different groups. Different restoration and compensation measures would be taken to the different groups according to the nature and extension of repercussion.

1.Usually, there are two ways to relocate the farmers due to the expropriated land ： 1. The grass-roots governments redistribute and adjust the land and make a comprehensive development of the remaining land resources with land compensation fees, or adjust land planting structure and introduce high yield cash crops to improve its unit land yield. The affected farmers still take farming as main business, i.e., farming as way of relocation. It is expected that most of the affected people are arranged in this way.2. The village, town and other grass-roots governments develop the secondary and tertiary industries with land compensation fees, such as opening township enterprises, building agricultural products fair, to provide more job opportunities and turn the affected people to trade, transportation business, service sector, etc., i.e. non-farming relocation way.

2.There are a few low yield land and dry land in this project's land area. As exploitation and investment to these lands are severely insufficient, their yields are far below high yield lands. For these land resources, the local government can adjust the agricultural structure, improve the irrigation facilities, upgrade the farming mechanization, and develop the business in forestry, herding, fishing, etc. to improve these lands' yields. The loss to the affected people can be made up by increasing the yields from the remaining lands and the affected people can go on with farming.

3.The villages and groups to be affected by land take can adjust and redistribute land to the affected people and increase investment in framing land with the expropriating compensation fee or adjust land planting structure to increase its unit yield. If the village and group can't adjust the land, they can develop the secondary and tertiary industries with expropriating compensation fund, such as opening enterprise and building trade fair at appropriate place,etc. For the people with professional skills, the compensatory payment can given to the individual for self-employment on voluntary basis after notarization.

4.For the temporarily borrowed land, only the output value loss and loss of original young crop and attachment during the leasing period are compensated. After expiration of leasing, the developer will restore its original farming conditions.

5.As the compensation and relocation due to land take are a complex job with many polices and laws involved, this assessment gives the following recommendations:

（1）The removed residents should be given just compensation in time as regulations and standards concerned；

（ 2 ） For some spreading farmers, they could be permitted to demolish old houses and build new ones by themselves and the farmers negotiate on the new house site with the village or group committee, and the village or

group committee allots the new housing land to farmers freely；（3）In principle, the new houses should be built up before ole ones are demolished for the removed farmers. If

demolished first, should pay the rents for the transition period；（ 4 ） Make the relocation plan transparent. All sides should negotiate through the whole process and the communication channels are available on all the levels. The affected people should be well informed of the relevant expropriating and relocation compensation standards, new housing sites, removal time, relocation ways, etc.

In a word, if the corresponding measures are taken in land take and residents' relocation with just compensation, this project won't bring about big repercussion on living of residents along the line.

14.4.7 Analysis of impact on residents' quality of life

As the railway is a linear project, the people affected by this project's land take is distributed and scattered in line form without whole village removed or occupied, and all the people can be relocated nearby.

Losses of local grain production and forestry due to the land permanently expropriated by the project can be compensated by the local government with the land compensation fees by arranging farming and non-farming relocation ways for the affected people so their living standards will not go down.

The permanently expropriated land and relocation of residents on it will bring certain impact on their production and living. But through local government's organized arrangement, exploitation of the potential capacity of land, corresponding measures to be taken, relocation with just compensation, the residents' qualities of life won't be affected much.

14.5 Analysis of railway's cutting and obstructing effect

14.5.1 Analysis of railway's cutting and obstructing effect

When the railway goes through the residential area along the line in form of tunnel and bridge, as the railway runs underground or supported by bridge pier, it will not change the topography and landscape much with little impact on the residents' traffic and living nor bringing cutting and obstructing effect.

When going through in forms of imbankment and road cut, the railway will much change the topographic form where it goes through and bring certain negative impact on the town area, village and natural region. This is mainly shown in the following two aspects:

（1）Cutting effect on the neighourhood of the project area

As limited by the topography, design parameters, etc., the railway line can't move around some buildings and inevitably goes through some towns' built-up areas, villages or natural regions, etc. , cutting through them and impairing their integrity.

（2）Obstructing effect to the neighourhood of the project area

The residents along the line, especailly on both sides of imbankment and road cut will be obstructed by the traffic barriers formed by the railway line going through it or enclosed by several railway lines and highways. They are also obstructed by railway line's enclosed operation due to safety reason. All these bring inconveniences and obstructing effects to the residents along the line.

14.5.2 Control measures

The cutting and obstructing effects will bring a negative effect to the integrated planning of the region where the railway line goes through. The railway will block the smooth traffic between two sides along the line and affect the integrated planning and construction, exchange bewtween the people along the line, so it will impair the

integrity and harmony of the residential area and conservation zone concerned；The inconvenience in traffic, etc. will form the man-made obstruction and weaken space openness and people's vision in the economic development. So compatibility with the external environment become bad.But these issues can be solved by building up pedestrian passageway, overpass bridge, culvert, etc. to make smooth exchange channels with the outside world.

The main line from Harbin to Jiamusi is 342.057km long, in which, the railroad bed 150.142km long, taking 44.54% of the newly built line; bridge length: 172862.60 bi-linear metre/144,taking 44.54% of total length of

newly built line； 9 tunnels（all are double-lane tunnel）, total linear length 14.093km, taking 4.18% of total length of newly built line. After deducting bridge and tunnel length, each kilometer has 1.90 culverts on the average to minimize the obstructing and cutting effects on the zone on both sides of this project.

The following recommendations on construction of overpass bridge culvert and pedestrian passageway are given

in order to ensure minimizing the cutting and obstructing effects on both sides along the railway line：1.When it is in parallel with or adjacent to the existing line, should guarantee the crossing capability of new line to

both sides not below existing line's standard；2.For the railway line section where there is village in the neighborhood, must build the overpass corridor to

guarantee local residents' inconvenient travel；3.Overpass bridge culvert and pedestrian passageway should be designed with reasonable distribution density after considering connecting the existing roads and people's behavioral habits to meet the specific needs for

convenient passing；4.The design of overpass bridge culvert and pedestrian passageway should fully consider the integral development planning where the line goes through and leave the space for further development to meet the future passing needs.

14.6 Analysis of impact on cultural relics and historic sites along the line

Based on the site survey and visit to local competent authorities for cultural relics as well as the preliminary survey and collected data, we haven't found the valuable cultural relics and historic sites in the scope of appraisal so far. The nearest historic site is Qiao Nan Relics.

1.Analysis of impact on Qiao Nan Relics

Qiao Nan Relics is located at the Class II terrace land on the eastern bank of Mu Dan River, about 1.5 kilometres to the southwest of Yi Lan Town, Yi Lan County, and 200 meters to the north of Mu Dan River Bridge (old bridge).It was recognized as provincial-level preservation of cultural relics by Heilongjiang Provincial Government on Jan. 10, 1999.The area of the relics is about 100,000 sq.m.,about 200meter long in its northwest direction and about 500meters wide in north-to-south direction. This relics was found in 1979's cultural relic general investigation, and was excavated for three times in 1997, 2003 and 2005: 17 house sites, 35 ash pits, ash trenches and roadways were found out. Among the archaeological objects were bone wares taking a big number, and nearly 1,200 pieces of needles, arrow heads, harpoons, ornaments, etc. and the rice mill was also found.

The planned project goes through outer edge of the preserved cultural relics in shape of Mu Dan Jiang Grand Bridge, Yi Lan. The area where the project crosses over is the junction of the river courses. The Qiao Nan Relics is one the Class IIterrace land on the eastern bank of Mu Dan Jiang River. The project is about 300m away from the border of the controlled zone for construction.As the planned project is far from the border of the controlled zone for construction, the project won't destroy the cultural relics and the vibration effect during railway operation won't affect the relics either.

2. Other cultural relics’ preservation

This assessment recommendeds that the project developer should commission the qualified company to do cultural relics survey along the line before construction.

The workers involved in the construction should have a sense of preservation of cultural relics. Once relics is found, they should stop construction work immediately and report it to the local cultural relics administration in due course and take the necessary remedial measures.

3. Mitigating measures

This assessment recommendeds that the project developer should commission the qualified company to do

cultural relics survey along the line before construction：（1）Enhance archaeological prospecting before construction

After the project plan is approved by cultural relics administraion of Heilongjiang Province, the project developer should assist the archaeological unit in doing the detailed archaeological prospecting of the plot concerned with the preserved cultural relics. Upon the approval of provincial cultural relics adminstration, they can carry out archaeological excavation to the plot where the relics may be buried and give scientific preservation to the archaeological objects.Any important archaeological finding should be reported to the authority. If it needs preservation to original site, the preservation plan should be worked out and reported to the authority for approval before going on with construction.

（2）Enhance preservation of cultural relics during the railway construction

1）Give education concerning law for the preservation of relics and set warnings, signs and poster on sit.

2）All the building workers should be given education concerning preservation of cultural relics before start-up.

3）Any atnique found in construction will be excavated under the supervision of relics authority and cleaned up and handed over to the relics competent authorities in due course. In case of any important relics, should stop construction immediately and protect the working site and report to relics authority and take the corresponding preservation measures.

（3）The estimated cultural relics preservation expenses in this assesment is RMB 7.697 millions yuan.

14.7 Cumulative/Indirect Impacts

Induced land use development around the railway stations and related environmental issues were analyzed during

EA process.

The region where HaJia Line traverses has lots of economic hub with intensive and economic activities. Most of these activities are small-scale and in-city or localized construction projects, which would not have obvious cumulative impacts with the newly proposed HaJia Railway Project. However, the project will construct 8 new stations in small towns between Harbin and Jiamusi. Most of these stations will be built in undeveloped rural areas (see Figure 14-1). In total, the 8 stations will occupy around 150 hm2 of farmland. However, it is anticipated that, with the development of these new stations and supporting infrastructure, such as road, station square, indirect and cumulative impacts. This may include larger land acquisition and resettlement, community disturbance, dust and noise during construction and larger noise impact during operation. In addition, traffic on the existing road network, loss of vegetation, civil air-borne dust, waste generation, community disturbance and safety will occur.

Figure 14-8 Current status of some of the Stations

Bin County Station Site Fangzheng Station Site

Hongkeli Station Site Shengli Station Site

Yilan Station Site East Jiamusi Station Site

The main impacts will be those occur during construction stag. These construction related impacts could be effectively managed by adopting proper mitigation measures, including, possible road and borrow/disposal site sharing, enforcement of good construction management to minimize dust, noise and waste generation; education of construction workers to minimize social disturbance and cultural conflict; provision of temporary access to local traffic; proper maintenance of the access roads and timely srestoration/strengthening upon completion. With effective implementation of good construction management measures, these common construction-related cumulative impacts can be adequately mitigated to acceptable level.

14.8 Mitigating measures

As this project is supported by the public and governments along the line and the preliminary work was done well earlier, the impact of the project during the construction period will be weakened after mitigating measures are taken as follows:

1.Ha-Jia Railway Line will bring pressure to the environment while promoting the economic development of Heilongjiang Province. After the construction is completed, the market readjustment mechanism and governmental regulating function should be used to solve the issues such as possible decreasing of market capacity, etc. The government along the line should have rational planning for the new developmental projects and rigorously observe the relevant state environmental regulations and rules to enable the design, building and commissioning of the project's main works and its environmental protection facilities proceeding in parallel.

2.Enhance the communication between constructors and local government, do the preliminary work before construction perfectly, have the urban system ready for bearing pressure from the project, and enhance education to construction teams, and keep good relationships between the railway and local community. The developer and constructor should establish the coordinating body in charge of communicating with the local community, such as coordinating for building construction detour, site location, transportation route for large-sized machinery and vehicles, etc.

3.Enhance environmental awareness education to building workers and prepare the related rules and regulations. The appropriate treatment methods should be used for the construction effluent, building rubbish, and domestic wastewater and household garbage coming from where the building workers live.

4.The land take, existing building demolishing and residents' relocation will be done according to the state relevant laws and regulations as well as the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Railway and Heilongjiang Province. The primary target of the residents' relocation is to restore the affected people's incomes and living

standards in a short time and minimize the project's negative economic and social impacts to ensure that they are at least not below the levels before railway construction.

5.When locating the bridge culvert, the designer has already consider the railway line's cutting effect on the residents on both sides. The designer should fully listen to the residents' opinions and recommendations to ensure corridor's quality and allowance for future development, and should also try to get the support and understanding from local people. In most cases, the new corridors and roads are kept in line with those of the existing railway line. During progress of the project, the builder should adjust according to actual conditions and minimize the impact due to change.

6.The preliminary work should be done well to get the strong support from the government and residents along the line by communication in time to minimize the project's impact during construction.

15 Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan

15.1 Environmental management plan

This project must have overall rigorous and scientific environmental management and monitoring during the whole process in order to protect the environment along the line and minimize this project's negative impacts on the environment. This project's environmental management includes preliminary environmental management, environmental management in construction period and environmental management in operation period.

15.1.1 Preliminary environmental management

According to the relevant regulations of Ministry of Environment Protection and Ministry of Railways, the

environmental protection during preliminary phase will be done as follows：（1）Consult the following government departments such as environment protection, water reservation, forestry, etc. and the authorities of municipalities and counties where the line goes through at the stage of the preliminary feasibility study, and give analysis of environmental impact, pollution prevention and ecological protection in the chapters of design manual.

（2）The designer gives environmental impact assessment in the dedicated chapter at the stage of the feasibility

study, and arrange enough environment protection funds in investment estimate；At the time of preparation of the feasibility study, the developer commissions the company with Grade A environmental impact assessment

qualification to prepare 《 Environmental Impact Report 》 as the basis to guide the engineering design and engineering construction, implement the system of “Taking Environmental Protection Measures in the Project Design, Construction and Operation” as well as environmental management and city planning.

（3 ）At the preliminary design stage, prepare the environmental protection chapter. Varied disciplines should implement the environmental protection measures specified in the Environmental Impact Report in their designs, which are summarized in the environmental protection chapter, and take the environment protection costs into the budgetary estimate. Accept the audits from Ministry of environment protection, Ministry of Railways, relevant environment protection competent authorities of Heilongjiang Province and take the results as basis to guide the engineering construction and environmental management.

（4）The environmental protection notes should be available in the construction drawings. The building workers should receive the training on environmental laws and regulations ecology, pollution control, etc. before entering working site. The developer should view the environment protection engineering and main works being of the same importance, and give environmental protection requirement to the constructor's plan.

（5）The developer should attach importance to the environment protection engineering in the bidding process. The bidding documents should include the environment protection contents. The developer should review the construction plan against the Environmental Impact Report as well as its approval comment, and define the constructor's responsibility in environmental management when signing the contract.

15.1.2 Environmental management during construction period

（1）Environmental management system during construction period

The environmental management system during construction period includes the three-level management system composed of developer, supervisor and constructor. It also needs the designer's assistance and supervision by local environment protection department to ensure the environmental measures to be taken in designing, construction

and operation.

The developer should monitor the project progress and environment protection status and have regular inspection and review of the enforcement of environmental protection measures and use of funds to ensure meeting the environmental engineering schedule. The developer should also coordinate the relationships of contractors to clear off the possible negligence and issues in environmental protection, and organize to solve the material environmental issues or dispute which may arise, and coordinate the relationships of the parties of interest such as contractors, local environmental protection departments, and the local public. Except under the supervision of local environmental protection authority, the constructor should nominate full-time and part-time environmental protection officer to have self-supervision on effluents, dust, water loss and soil erosion, noise, etc. on the working site.

The constructors enhance their own environmental management and nominate the full-time and part-time officers for environmental protection during the construction period. The above officers should be competent and qualified engineers endowed with relevant responsibilities and power. They should establish the responsibility system and performance evaluation system with regard to environmental management and ecological environment protection and give the environmental protection training to the leadership.

The supervising company should take the environment protection engineering and measures specified in the environmental engineering construction design and construction contract as main supervising contents, give rigid control on environmental engineering quality and monitor the environmental measures that the constructors are supposed to take in the construction. The supervision report to be submitted after construction should contain the environmental engineering supervising results.

（2）Environmental management highlights during construction period

1.Ecological environment management during construction period

The water loss and soil erosion due to this project mostly occur during construction period so the constructor should strengthen water and soil conservation during construction period and soil. The water conservation engineering must be completed in parallel with the railroad bed main works. The environmental protection highlights should be defined in the engineering contract signed by the developed and constructor. The working method, process and procedure should be rigorously reviewed and supervised. The construction organization planning should be complete.

2.The constructor should contact the property owner in time if finding any environmental risks such as bad geological condition, etc. when working on railroad bed and bridge culvert to work out the corresponding countermeasures and contingent plan.

3.The constructor's construction organization planning should specify the environment protection management system. The constructor should have sound organization and civilized construction in work. The environmental measures should be ensured to be implemented in parallel with the main works.

4.The constructor should pay attention to water and soil conservation in construction. The wastes are strictly prohibited to be discard in river, pond, lake, canal, etc. and should be shipped to the designated place. In this regard, the wastes should be contained first and then disposed off properly. The constructor take strict precautions against water loss and soil erosion in due course. The scope of expropriated should be rigidly controlled in the construction of railroad bed and bridge engineering. The work yard should be controlled in the designed expropriated land. The constructor should choose the infertile dry land or lease the living area as work yard as possible in order to preserve the natural vegetative cover. The principle of centralized earth taking and discarding should be followed. The construction detour should use the existing countryside roads or modified power farming

road to avoid occupying or destroying the farm land and vegetative cover. The water reservation described above measures should be implemented.

5.At the working sites and workers' living area and other temporary facilities, the environmental management should be strengthened and the construction effluent should be drained into designated spots. The relevant

regulations and specifications of 《Noise Limits on border of the architectural construction site 》（GB 12523-

90）should be observed. The dust suppression measures should be taken on the site with big fugitive dust. After construction constructor should clean up and restore job site and handle with the household garbage and engineering wastes properly.

6.Get done with land take, demolishing and relocation and rigidly enforce the compensation measures； get done with supervision of construction of environmental protection facilities to guarantee engineering qualities and carry out the construction of environmental engineering in parallel with construction of main works of the project and prepare for operation with the main works' commissioning.

7.Carry out the environmental protection acceptance upon completion of works according to the environmental engineering acceptance method specified by the Ministry of Environmental Protection after completion of works and official operation.

15.1.3 Environmental management during transport operation period

The primary mission of environmental management in transport operation period is to ensure normal running of the environment protection facilities meanwhile obtaining trustworthy operating parameters through daily environmental monitoring to provide scientific basis for decision-making with regard to transport operation management and environmental management.

（1）Management organization

This line transport operation is managed by two-level bodies, i.e., grass-roots stations and Ha-Jia Railway Line Passenger Transport Line Company (preparing team)'s environment protection management body.

The grass-roots stations and sections along the line are in charge of operating and maintenance of their affiliated environment protection facilities and coordinate with environmental monitoring authority to carry out routine environmental monitoring and record and report in time the pollution source discharging and running status of environmental protection equipment.

The environmental protection management body of Ha-Jia Railway Line Company(preparing team) is in charge of environmental job instruction and supervision and environmental protection trends, and assist the planning department to review and arrange expansion investment plan for environment protection facilities, and enforce the renovation and reformation plan for environmental protection facility in the scope of its responsibility, and collect and study the job information from stations and sections, and coordinate with the local environment protection department along the line, and coordinate with grass-roots station and sections to solve the unexpected pollution events, etc.

Besides, the municipal and county environmental protection administrations along the line and their authorized monitoring organizations will directly supervise and control the discharging from railway pollution sources in the region, and gradually execute the control up to total amounts according to environmental capacity, and impose punishment or sanctions against discharging and pollution accidents exceeding the limits.

（2）Training

The professional competence of the environmental managerial personnel and operator is vital to normal running of environment protection facilities. All environmental protection staff should be proficient in business and familiar with the equipment operating and maintenance key points to ensure normal running of all the facilities. Besides, the environmental protection management departments at all levels should still establish and complete the system of job responsibilities so that they undertake the corresponding responsibilities while having the power.

15.3 Supervising plan during construction period

15.3.1 Objectives of environmental supervision during construction period

The environmental supervision is an important measures for implementing the state environmental protection policy -- "Environmental protection measures to be taken at the same time with project design, construction and operation. It is exdended part of construction project environmental protection and also guarantee the enforcement of this project's Environmental Impact Report during the construction period.

The environment protection supervision is related to engineering construction supervision but its focus is different

from engineering construction supervision.The objectives of environmental protection supervision are：（ 1 ） To check whether the environmental engineerings observe the specifications of Project Environmental

Impact Report that has been spproved by authorities；（2）Through environmental protection supervision,to ensure construction work quality, construction schedule, ecological restoration, pollsution control, water loss and soil erosion up to standard rate and satisfy the

requirements of state environmental protection laws and regulations；（3）According to supervising responsibilities, power and supervising procedure specified in contract, feed back in time to the constructor and developer the construction not up to specifications or construction quality not meeting the quality requirements that occur in the supervision, and propose the handling measures, and examine

and approve, correct or change as per established procedure；（4）Assist local environmental protection administration authorities in inspection, and provide scientific and

detailed basis for solving the disputes with regard to environmental protection；（5）Review and acceptance on environmental protection engineerings with regard to their number and quality. Participate in acceptance on completion of works.

15.3.2 Environmental supervision scope during project construction period

The environmental supervision scope during construction period is the project construction area and the area affected by construction.Supervision is done during the whole construction period. The supervision means include supervision and control in time by staying on site, periodic inspection of working site and nonscheduled spot-check.To find out the problems in time and propose corrective requirement and check corrective results in time through environmental supervision during construction period.

The main supervising contents include land and vegetative cover protection and impact of environmental pollution such as noises, effluent, fugitive dust, solid waste , etc. generated in construction.

The key supervising section includes sections through water conservation district.

15.3.3 Environmental supervising organization

The developer should commission the certified supervisor to do environmental protection supervision on implementation of environmental measures for railway line concerned during the construction period.

The supervising station will arrange full-time or part-time chief supervising engineer and supervising engineer according to particulars and complicities of this project's environmental supervision.

15.3.4 Contents, methods and results of environmental supervision

1. Environmental supervision contents during project construction period

（1）Spoil（slag）yard, construction camp, service roads' position, scale and project protective measure, and

protection and restoration measures of surface vegetative cover at spoil （ slag ） yard; planting and plant protective measures in the project land area.

（2）Control on noises from machines, transport vehicles, earth-rock excavation, etc. , prevention of fugitive dust and smoke dust at working site, discharge and treatment of production and domestic wastewaters generated in construction, control measures such as collection, shipping and disposal of building wastes and domestic wastes.

2. Environmental supervision methods during construction period

Take patrol as primary means, aided wtih necessary environmental monitoring, in order to give necessary control on the engineering construction participants through environmental supervision, to give a full play to the environmental protection investment and enforce the environmental protection measures effectivelly, and realize both the economic and social benefits.

16.1.1 Ecological Protection/Soil and Water Conservation Measures

A. Measures to Protect the Land

1. Base on the technical conditions having been met, the principle of ‘bridges better than roads, tunnels better than chasm’ shall be used as far as possible for alternative plans, so to increase the proportion of bridges and tunnels and minimize the amount of land occupied permanently.

Earthwork excavation shall follow the principle of ‘fully using digging for filling shift ’ for reasonable allocation. Take full advantage of earthwork from tunnel mucking and road cutting as roadbed earthwork and filler of temporary works and bridges to save lands of taking earth and spoiling (slag).

These measures can ease the conflict between railway construction and land resource protection.

2. This project needs 485.80×104m3 soils purchased far from the program and transported by dump truck. Considering unfavorable repercussions might happen to the earth-fetching area, adhering to the principle of ‘protecting arable land, forest land, not occupying cultivated land and forest or as little as possible’, the choice of the source of soil is generally recommended by the local government an approved by railway constructor. The railway construction authority signs a soil source agreement with the local government. Based on railway requirements and actual local situation, filed investigation and negotiation with local county government along the railway, this design initially selects 12 earth-fetching areas which are all existing quarries. All soil needed for this project is purchased from outside and no more new earth-fetching area is built. Earth-fetching plan is feasible.

3. Spoiled soils of this project are mainly coming from lines, stations, tunnels and bridges, with a total volume of 1723.10×104m3. Among which, 1291.2×104m3 are come from lines, 208.62×104m3 from the stations, 128.39×104m3 from the tunnels and 94.89×104m3 from the bridges.

118.53×104m3 spoiled soils are surface soil with high humus contents, which can be used as green soils along the lines and stations. Others shall be placed at selected spoiled (slag) grounds.

There are 45 spoiled grounds occupying 217.78hm2 selected in this project to meet the requirements of spoiled soils and slags along the lines.

To ensure boiler unity of the whole line and easy management, and according to the regulation of No. 121 Harbin Government Order - Pollution Control Measures for Coal Burning, Article 7, it is recommended to use formed-coal boiler with equal capacity instead of the above mentioned boilers which reach the discharge standards of air pollution.

4. There are two 0.7MW coal-fired boilers newly built in Yilan Station (provided with dedusting equipment). It is predicted that the concentration of dust emissions at the chimney meet the requirements of GB13271-2001 Boiler Air Pollutant Emission Standards, District II Time Section II, while the concentration of SO2 exceeds the standard of GB13271-2001 Boiler Air Pollutant Emission Standards, District II Time Section II. it is recommended to use formed-coal boiler with equal capacity instead of the above mentioned boilers which reach the discharge standards of air pollution.

Centralized potable water source in Yilan County will be stopped and discarded when it comes to the operating period, so there will be no sewage discharge effects.

5. Heating system of Jiamusi Station can use municipal heating system and no air pollutant emitted. Design plan is feasible. Based on the principle of ‘bring a new one to replace the old one’, the two existing0.35MW coal-fired boilers will be taken down later and the existing heating connected into the municipal heating system.

6. The existing East Jiamusi Station is shut down after the project, which is re-designed in a new location. One 1.4MW coal-fired boiler is newly built. it is recommended to use formed-coal boiler with equal capacity instead of the above mentioned boilers which reach the discharge

standards of air pollution.

7. Smoke dust from the construction machine, air-born dust from earthwork and transportation vehicles, and fumes from temporary small boilers provide for construction base camps will affect the air environment during construction. All construction companies shall strictly follow relative laws and regulations to minimize these effects. These effects will naturally disappear when the construction is finished.

Investments on air pollutant protection measures will cost 3.8 million Yuan.

16.1.7 Solid Waste Disposal Measures and Recommendation

Domestic garbage from waiting passengers of every station is 198.72t/a in the near future, and 248.27t/a in the far future after the construction. Garbage produced during removing is 32.52×104m3.

Office waste and domestic garbage from the newly built station are 198.41t/a.

If the garbage produced during removing can’t be treated in time, the domestic garbage from the station will destroy and pollute the environment along the railway and where the station located, therefore, it is recommended to take the following measures:

1. Domestic garbage from the construction base camp shall be collected by appointed men and delivered to the sanitation department for centralized disposal. Thoroughly clean up construction waste during removing and after camp evacuation, and deliver them to appointed spoiled ground or other places for disposal.

2. Strengthen management and popularization. According to the requirements of TJWF [1996] No. 9 Doc. Notification of Updating Snack Box for Railway Transportation, paper snack box or photodegradable and biodegradable polypropylene snack box that have fasted degradation speed, higher recycle value, and higher sanitary quality shall be used.

3. Implement the system of garbage from the train disposed at fixed-place, and strictly forbidden to dump at random. According to the requirements of TJWF [1995] No.178 Doc. Notification of Issuing ‘Supervision and Management Measures for Integrated Controlling Garbage Pollution along the Railway’, garbage bags shall be placed on passenger trains which shall be dumped at Harbin Station and Jiamusi Station. The bags shall be collected and stored at an appointed place, and delivered to the sanitary department for disposal together with the office waste and domestic garbage from the waiting passengers.

4. Mud from sewage disposal shall be collected by appointed men and delivered to a refuse landfill for centralized disposal. Floating grease shall be collected and delivered to the hazardous waste receiving department for centralized disposal.

5. Popularize the environmental protection concept to passengers at the station, and increase passengers’ environmental protection consciousness, so to minimize the problem of littering and reduce its effects on environment.

Based on the above measures including garbage disposed at fixed-place, garbage collected in time,

centralized disposal and strengthening management of station garbage discharging, although solid

waste will increase a certain amount of all station after the project is complete, it will not affect the

environment around if all the measures are strictly implemented and the solid waste is brought

into municipal garbage disposal system or having been utilized.

74.3 dB～84.3dB in the nighttime. 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the daytime, up 0.4～4.4

dB. The value in the scope in 30m and out of 30m is 57.0～78.6dB in the daytime, and 57.3～78.9dB in the nighttime, thereby the measuring points in the daytime and nighttime can meet the

standard of 80dB stipulated in the Both Sides of Trunk Railway in the standard GB10070-88.

2. Othersensitive sites

There is no significant vibration source existed currently, the vibration is mainly affected by

human activities, the current value in vibration level VLZ10 is 49.0～57.0dB in the daytime and

43.1～52.0dB in the nighttime, which respectively meet the standards of 70 dB in the daytime and

67 dB in the nighttime stipulated in (GB10070-88) Standard of Environmental Vibration in Urban

Area.

(4) Water Environment

Harbin-Jiamusi line belongs to the Songhua River system. In the run-through program, large rivers

are Mudanjiang River, Woken River, Mayi River, Daluomi River, Xiaoluomi River, Demoli

River, Feiketu River. In the Jiangbei Program, larges rivers are Hulan River,Pao River, Shaoling

River, Mulanda River, Baiyangmu River, Chalin River, Wulahun River, Xibei River, Dagudong

River, Xiaogudong River, Balan River and Tangwang River, as well as a number of small criss-

cross rivers and irrigation channels.

After testing, the water quality indicators of Mayi River and Mudanjiang River can meet the requirement of Class standard of (GB3838-2002) Environmental Quality Standards for SurfaceⅢ Water.

(5) Electromagnetic Environment

In the 35 television channels currently received by antenna in the 8 monitoring sites, 24 channels

reached the required signal to noise ratio of 35dB on maintaining requirements before

construction. After starting construction, the signal to noise ratio of every channel declined

greatly, only 16 can meet the requirement of signal to noise ratio. The speed rating of this project

is high, with numerous viaducts and high subgrades. With the exception of electromagnetic

radiation, as impact of fast movement of trains on the viaducts and reflection of trains and bridges,

therefore wireless channel was severely damaged, and causing the received signals to be faded

fast, which seriously affects the normal reception of television signals of ordinary normal antenna

users.

As the cable television network access rate is lower along the line, most of users use ordinary

antennas to receive television signals, it's estimated that the construction of this project will have

more significant adverse effects to the residents along the line on the television signals reception.

17.3 Conclusion of Environmental Impact Assessment

Ecological Environment

1. The land use along Harbin to Jiamusi railway project is mainly in plowland pattern, and the

vegetation covered in Fangzheng and Yilan are relatively better. Water and soil erosion is slight.

The ecological environment along the line is relatively stable, with strong environmental carrying

capacity.

2. In accordance with "China's Vegetation Regionalization", the entire line of this project belongs

to temperate grassland region--eastern grassland sub-region-temperate northern grassland zone

and temperate mixed broadleaf and coniferous forest region-temperate northern mixed broadleaf

and coniferous forest zone. The vegetation types along the line are mainly natural forest,

plantation, bush, meadow steppe, wetland and farmland. Common plants are aspen, red pine,

Lespedeza bicolor etc. In the engineering evaluation area, there are 3 species of national second-

class protective plants, namely tilia amurensis, Fraxinus mandshurica and Phellodendron

amurense, which are not scattered in the construction land of the project.

3. In the zoogeographical division, the areas along the line belong to Songliao Plain region,

Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing'an Mountain region. As the human activities in the areas are

frequent, and most of the areas alone the line are farmland and villages, coupled with the impact

of existing Tongsan Expressway, G211 and railway, the animal resources along the region are

scarce, and more of them are common species.

There are 28 species protected animals along the project, of which 26 species of birds (20 species

of state protected birds and 6 species of Heilongjiang provincial protected birds). There are 2 Ⅱ

species provincial protected animals in reptiles.

4. The permanent areas covered in the project comprise roadbed area, station area, bridge and

culvert area, and tunnel entrance area, covering a total area of 1416.27hm2. In the types of newly-

added land acquisition, 903.20hm2 of cultivated land, accounting for 63.77%; 419.85 hm2 of

woodland, accounting for 29.65%; 42.63hm2 of construction land, accounting for 3.01%;

7.59hm2 of orchards, accounting for 0.54%; 8.24hm2 of pond, accounting for 0.58%.

The permanent land use for the project has only minimal impact to the patterns of land utilization

along the line. In the design, the project has been considered reducing land occupation. Moreover,

as the project is in linear distribution, the impact can be minimized by taking the measures of

economic compensation for land reclamation and restoration.

5. The temporary land occupation of this project covers an area of 534.78hm2, most of which is

dry land. In the temporary works, permanent-temporary integration should be prioritized. The

permanent land acquisition and urban land in existing venues or the scope of stations should be

utilized as much as possible so as to reduce new land occupation. All temporary material plants

for the project are made use of the existing stations without newly-added land. 2 track laying bases

will be set up in this section, respectively in Harbin Xinxiangfang Station and Jiamusi Station. The

existing stations are utilized without any newly-added land.

6. The engineering construction will tie up a permanent forest of 419.85hm2. In the next stage of

design, the cutting for varieties of trees and quantity will be further clear. In the process of design

and construction, if any state or local protected varieties of trees should be transplanted. Any small

seedlings suitable for transplanting or the varieties of trees with great economic value should be

transplanted as well. For the trees with less transplanting value or not suitable for transplanting,

an off-site compensation shall be taken based on the principle of equal compensation in

accordance with the state or local standards of compensation. The off-site replanting or monetary

compensation shall be conducted under the guidance of local forestry department.

The greening measures for the project, such as greening the roadbed slope with arbors or shrubs,

setting forest in subgrade in wind drift sand regions, greening temporary venues, earth borrowing

areas and spoil(slag) ground, will be taken. A total of 375510 arbors and 43729000.36 shrubs will

be planted newly. The area of sowing grass and landscaping covers 237.52hm2, playing a positive

role to improve the ecological environment along the line.

7. The total length of the 144 bridges along the trunk line is 172862.60 linear meters, accounting

for 51.28% of the newly-built line, of which 157506.23 linear meters in 88 two-lane grand

bridges, 15084.71 linear meters in 53 two-lane bridges, 206.46 linear meters in 2 two-lane

medium bridges, 65.2 linear meters in one steel medium bridge. 294 culverts will be newly built,

with the exception of the length of bridges and tunnels, average 1.90 culverts per kilometer will be

built along the line.

One cross-over is designed in crossing high-grade roads, without any piers in the middle of roads

and embankment slopes. Simultaneously the impact to the normal use from the bridge foundation

construction should be taken into account. Above measures will meet the normal activities and

passing of persons and animals from one side to the other side.

In the design for bridges and culverts, the drainage, irrigation, surface runoff, staff travel, animals

channel and other requirements should be taken into account fully. The bridges and culverts will

be designed in accordance with the water level of 1/100(1/300 is adopted in Yilan Mudanjiang

River Grand Bridge for checking), simultaneously drainages will be arranged in both sides of the

railway, and the impact to rivers, drainage, irrigation, surface overland flow, animal channels and

other aspects will be minimized.

8. In the run-through program of Harbin-Jiamusi railway, 9 two-lane tunnels will be built, with a

total linear meters of 14.093kmm, accounting for 4.18% of the total length of the newly-built line.

It's recommended that single-port construction and single-port slag methods should be taken in the

tunnel with a length of less 500m, so as to reduce damage to the surrounding environment.

Through the analysis on the impact to the vegetation on the top of the tunnel when in tunnel

construction, the results show that the water inflow from outside of the tunnel is less, and the

leakage is mainly the trace water from bedrock fissure. The water used for vegetation on tunnel

mountaintop is mainly from natural rainfall, and the engineering construction is basically without

any impact to the growth of the vegetation. There are only two residential zones in the area 1000m

away the entrance and exit of tunnel. The groundwater is used for daily production and life, and

the waterpower contact between tunnel body and residential areas is less, and the impact to the

residents' drinking water from tunnel construction is less as well.

There are 478 subgrade construction sites in individual design, with a total length of 150.142km,

accounting for 45.34% of the total length of the newly-built line. The types of construction site are

mainly cut slopes protection and deep cutting, cohesive soil embankment and soft groundwork etc.

10. The newly-added soil erosion is 14.10×104t. The amount of soil erosion in construction period

is much larger than of which in natural recovery, thereby the construction period is the key period

for preventing soil erosion. Feasible engineering, plant protection and temporary protective

measures must be developed so as to implement targeted rational treatment to the section possibly

causing soil erosion to achieve effective soil erosion control.

The earth and stone aggregate 4111.78 × 104m3 in the entire line, of which 1437.24×104m3 of

filling, 2674.54×104m3 of excavated volume. The filling earth should be utilized for excavation

works as much as possible, and the utilization earth is 951.44×104m3, while the total disposable

soil is 1723.10×104m3, of which topsoil of 118.53×104m3 can be recycled as greening soil, the

other 1604.57×104m3 of disposable soil will be taken as permanent spoil (slag) to be thrown away

in spoil disposal areas.

In the design program, 12 borrow areas are initially selected, and all of them are the existing

quarries. A total of 45 spoil (slag) fields are selected, covering an area of 217.78hm2, which can

be used for debris accumulation. Through corresponding engineering protection and greening

prevention measures for cut-fill transition, borrow site, spoil (slag) field, roadbed slope, spoil of

bridges and culverts. The implementation of such measures will be beneficial for lightening the

impact to the ecological environment caused by earth works and reducing soil erosion.

Acoustic Environment

1. There are 139sensitive sites in the assessment domain, including 21 Special sensitive sites and 118

centralized residential quarters.

The residential quarters 30 meters away from the center line of outer railway track in the assessment

domain should be implemented with the 70dBA/70dBA limits stipulated in （ GB12525-

90 ）Emission Standards and Measurement Methods of Railway Noise on the Boundary Alongside

Risky Line.

The regions with functional divisions along the line should be implemented with corresponding

standards of noise functional zoning.

The regions along the line are mostly rural areas without noise functional zoning. The rural

residential areas without noise functional zoning should be implemented with the standards for

Class division. The urban areas with noise functional zoning should be implemented with theⅡ

requirements of corresponding functional zoning. The schools, hospitals and other Special

sensitive sites in the assessment domain should be implemented with the outdoor standards of 60dBA

in the daytime and 50dBA in the nighttime (with accommodation requirements).

2. The current monitoring results show that the day and night noise equivalent sound levels of

sensitive targets in the project are 50.2 ~ 71.8dBA and 43.1 ~ 72.5dBA respectively.

The day and night noise equivalent sound levels for the areas 30 meters away from the center line

of outer railway track shall meet the standards of 70dBA in the daytime and 70dBA in the

nighttime stipulated in Emission Standards and Measurement Methods of Railway Noise on the

Boundary Alongside Risky Line.

3. Environmental Protection Measures Proposed in the Report

(1) In the construction period, the environmental protection measures proposed in the Report are

as follows: with rational arrangement of construction sites, the construction machines with large

noise should be arranged at the side far away from residential areas; with rational arrangement of

construction time, the works with high noise exposure should be arranged in the daytime as far as

possible. Required continuous operation or special needs due to the production process

requirements should be reported to relevant competent administrative department; strengthening

the environmental noise monitoring in the construction period.

（2）In accordance with the prediction of environmental noise, integrated with the scale of the

sensitive sites and terrain conditions around them and other site conditions, 46 3.15-meter high

noise barriers, with a total length of 15380 of linear meters will be installed in bridge sections.43

3-meter 3.15-meter high noise barriers with a total length of 12096 linear meters will be installed

in subgrade sections. One 7-meter high noise barrier with a total length of 380 linear meters will

be installed in subgrade sections.132 noise insulation ventilation windows with a total area of

107550m2 will be installed. In the period of test run after completion, the noise level atsensitive

sites will be measured. If the noise level is actually out of limits, above measures will be

implemented.

（3）Integrated with vibration prediction and measures taken, 1194 households insensitive sites

should be removed.

(4) The investment for noise environmental protection in the entire line is 270187000 Yuan.

Ambient Vibration

In accordance with the value of the sensitive sites affected by the existing railway, the scope

within 30m in current mean vibration level of VLzmax is 73.1dB～84.1dB in the daytime, and

74.3 dB～84.3dB in the nighttime. 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the daytime, increasing

0.1～4.1dB, and 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the nighttime, increasing 0.4～4.4 dB. The

value in the scope within 30m and out of 30m is 57.0～78.6dB in the daytime, and 57.3～78.9dB

in the nighttime, thereby the measuring points in the daytime and nighttime can meet the standard

of 80dB stipulated in the Both Sides of Trunk Railway in the standard GB10070-88. There is no

significant vibration source existed currently, the vibration is mainly affected by human activities,

the current value in vibration level VLZ10 is 49.0～57.0dB in the daytime and 43.1～52.0dB in

the nighttime, both meet the standards of 70 dB in the daytime and 67 dB in the nighttime

stipulated in (GB10070-88) Standard of Environmental Vibration in Urban Area.

2. The Z vibration level evaluation value of 50 measuring points in the areas 30m away from the

outer railway track of the line is 70.1-81.9dB in the daytime and 70.1-82.7dB in the nighttime. 6

measuring points in the daytime exceed 80dB, increasing 1.0-1.9dB, while 11 measuring points in

the nighttime exceed 80dB, increasing 0.8-2.7dB. The Z vibration level evaluation value of 83

measuring points in the areas 30m away from the outer railway track and outside areas is 52.9-

77.2dB in the daytime and 53.5-77.9dB in the nighttime, all measuring points meet the standard of

80dB stipulated in the Both Sides of Trunk Railway in the standard GB10070-88.

3. In the environmental assessment, combined with the noise control measures, 438 households in

the sensitive sites along the railway will be implemented with the relocation, and the investment

is included in the noise control fees, so as to lighten the impact to the residents’ lives caused by

railway vibration.

4. We recommended that the planning, construction and environmental protection departments of

local governments along the lines take full account of the situation of higher vibration level of the

land at both sides of the railway along the line when in planning and management to designate a

range of buffer zones and to prohibit anyone from newly building residential buildings, schools,

hospitals and other vibration-sensitive buildings 30m within both sides of the line.

5. As part of machines during construction period will cause vibration of the surrounding

environment, a rational operation sequence should be arranged and a certain protective measures

should be taken. Moreover, the environmental awareness of construction workers should be

raised, so as to effectively reduce the impact of environmental vibration during construction. After

the completion of construction, the impact of environmental vibration will disappear.

Water Environment

1. The domestic sewage in Binxi Station will be discharged into a sewage treatment plant after being treated by septic tanks, thereby the sewage quality can meet Grade III standard of (GB8978-1996) Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard. The design proposal is feasible.

2. The domestic sewage in Binzhou County Station will be discharged into Binzhou River after being treated by septic tanks and unpowered biological treatment tanks. As Bin County Sewage Treatment Plant (planned to be completed in 2010, with a recent treatment capacity of Q = 20000 m3/d), therefore, in the environmental assessment, it is recommended that the unpowered biological treatment tanks should be cancelled, and the domestic sewage from this station is discharged into a sewage treatment plant after being treated by septic tanks, thereby the sewage quality can meet Grade III standard of (GB8978-1996) Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard.

3. Shengli Station, Gaoleng Station, Dalian River Station and Hongkeli Station are newly-built domestic water supply stations, and their domestic sewage is discharged into nearby ditches after being treated by septic tanks and unpowered biological treatment tanks, which cannot meet the primary standard of GB8978-1996 Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard. In the environmental assessment, it’s proposed that the domestic sewage should be treated by contact

oxidation treatment，and the sewage after treatment will meet the standards.

4. Sewage of Jiamusi station (existing and new domestic sewage dealt by septic-tank) and Jiamusi motor train storage yard (domestic sewage, fecal sewage dealt by septic-tank and anaerobic biological filter) is discharged into the sewage treatment plant of east area of Jiamusi and the main

discharge hole’s water quality meets the third-level standard of integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996).

5. After preprocessed, oily sewage of west Jiamusi accrediting locomotive back-turning section and domestic sewage of East Jiamusi station and Jiamusi accrediting locomotive back-turning section (preprocessed by septic-tank) will be processed by SBR technology after pipeline collecting, while meeting the first-level standard of integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996), discharge them into neighbouring irrigation canals and ditches. This design proposal is feasible.

6. The foundation construction of river-crossing bridge should start at dry season to the greatest

extent to avoid water quality effect of mud and mechanical oil leak caused by construction of

rainy season.

We should build settling pond for sludge and muddy water during bridge construction, after

natural drying carry away the sediment. When construction finished, fill mud pit and settling pond

with soil and recover the ground vegetation.

7. Tunnel water leak during construction contains vast silt, slurry and construction rubbish, so we

should build a grit chamber at entrances of tunnel and inclined shaft to effectively avoid slurry

clogging of lower reaches of river and pollution of ground water, thereby reduce groundwater

resources’ loss.

8. During construction process, we should strictly manage construction machinery, strengthen

environmental protection consciousness, and comply with the requirements of local environmental

protection department to avoid big impact on the surrounding water environment. While

construction finished, water pollution caused by job location will disappear naturally.

Atmospheric Environment

1. The project newly added 5 coal-fired boilers of 0.7MW for Binxi station, Shengli station,

gaoleng station, Dalianhe station and Hongkeli station. According to the seventh article of No.121

of Harbin People's Government Decree-Harbin Scattered Burning Pollution Prevention Measures

of Coal, the evaluation suggests above stations to use moulded coal burning boilers with the same

capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the standard.

2. The project newly added 6 coal-fired boilers of 1.4MW for Binzhou station, Fangzheng station,

Jiamusi motor train storage yard, East Jiamusi and accrediting locomotive back-turning section.

According to the seventh article of No.121 of Harbin People's Government Decree-Harbin

Scattered Burning Pollution Prevention Measures of Coal, the evaluation suggests above stations

to use moulded coal burning boilers with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants

discharge should reach the standard.

3. Because of Yilan station is located at the second-level water source protection zone of

concentrating potable water of Yilan County, the People's Government of Yilan indicates that the

County is prospecting and devising new water head site, the old water head site will be out of

service before 2013, the new project will last 4 years (planning to start in July of 2010 and

complete in June of 2014), so before the new project’s operation, the old water head site has been

out of service, without pollution discharge existing. The People's Government of Yilan agreed

construction line’s passing through the second-level water source protection zone with a file of

YZH No. [2010]31.

The project plans to add 2 coal-fired boilers of 0.7MW for Yilan station, according to the seventh

article of No.121 of Harbin People's Government Decree-Harbin Scattered Burning Pollution

Prevention Measures of Coal, the evaluation suggests the station to use moulded coal burning

boiler with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the standard.

4. Heating of Jiamusi station can be connected with municipal heating system, without

discharging atmospheric impurity. This design proposal is feasible. Based on the principle of

“replacing old with new", the existing 2 coal-fired boilers of 0.35MW can be removed and the

heating of existing boilers belongs to municipal heating system.

5. The project of existing East Jimusi station closes latter, the project plans to add one coal-fired

boiler of 1.4MW for this station, the evaluation suggests above stations to use moulded coal

burning boilers with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the

standard.

6. After the project’s operation, smoke and dust of boiler atmospheric impurity reduce 31.8t/a

than existing level and SO2 increases 32.82t/a.

7. During construction, smoke and dust caused by construction machinery, raising dust caused by

earthwork and stonework construction and smokes caused by provisional small size’s boilers of

each job location will affect atmospheric environment. Every construction organization should

strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations and make the effect minimized; these effects will

disappear naturally with the construction’s finish.

Electromagnetic Environment

1. Conclusions of impact on television reception

After the project’s accomplishment, electromagnetic radiations caused by train operation will

make all the SNR of channels along the line reduce more. In the 35 antenna-receiving television

channels of 8 monitoring points, there are 24 channels meet the SNR requirement of 35dB of

normal watching before the project; after the project, the SNR of channels drops a lot, only 16

channels can meet the SNR requirement.

Because of the extreme low network accessing rate of wired television along the line, there are a

lot of users watching with common antennas, we estimate that the project will cause a very

obvious bad impact on resident’s televiewing.

2. Conclusions of impact on traction substation

According to the monitoring data of analogy, electric field and magnetic displacement of power

frequency at the walls of the traction substation are low, they accord with the limit requirement of

power frequency electric-field strength and magnetic displacement recommended in HJ/T24-

1998. The high-pressure introducing line corridors of traction substation do not belong to this

project, its environmental impact assessment will be implemented by the related power

departments.

3. Conclusions of impact on GSMR base station

According to above calculations and analysis, making antenna the centre, respective 24 meters

along the two sides of the line and respective 12 meters along the two sides of the perpendicular

lines, the vertical height is 6 meters downward from the antenna, this rectangular region is the

limit region of antenna (control region), that means out of the limit region the radiosity can be less

than 8μW/cm2, meeting the requirements of GB8702-88 and HJ/T10.3-1996.

4. On the basis of predicted result, we suggest to obligate wired television network accessing

compensating funds or satellite aerial purchase cost for television users insensitive sites.

Compensating fund is RMB500 Yuan each family, the total amount is 719 thousand Yuan.

Solid Waste

After the completion of the project, it will cause related stations increasing certain amount of solid

waste, but by rubbish recycling timely, concentrating disposal, strengthening the management of

waste discharge car and some other measures, and with the strict implement of above system,

putting the solid waste into municipal garbage disposal system or making comprehensive

utilization will not have an affect on surrounding environment.

Public Participation

1. Public Participation activity provided a mass of public information about the project for the

evaluation organization. It had positive impact on the coordination between project construction

and environmental protection. Meanwhile, through the public participation activity, it deepened

understand and support for the project of the public in the project area and laid a solid foundation

for smooth implementation of the project.

2. Most of the masses along the railway line who think the project will in favor of the local

economic development are support the project. Almost all of the investigators feel the importance

of the environment; Noise and vibration is still the main environmental problems; Most of the

masses cooperated actively for the land acquisition and remove problems and hoped to get

reasonable economic compensation

3. The public want the construction organization to pay attention to environmental protection work

ideologically, implement the environmental protection management measures from the action,

strive to minimize the environmental impact by the railway project in the construction and

operation period, fully exert economic benefit and social benefit of the project based on protecting

public interests.

4. For the opposing phenomenon of the project construction is too concentrated in BinJiang New

town and Jiada community, project construction organization communicated with the residents

who took issue in the form of seminars. With more understanding of the construction and

operation of the Harbin-Jiamusi railway project, the resident representative from BinJiang New

town and Jiada community approved the relevant protective measures brought up by the project.

Residents’ concern for Harbin-Jiamusi railway project was eliminated. They all understand and

support the construction and operation of Harbin-Jiamusi railway project.

Social Economic Environment

1. Harbin-Jiamusi railway construction will have a significant and positive impact on society, the

implement of this project can promote economic development, increase employment

opportunities, and promote tourism development. It will have positive impact on promoting the

formation of Harbin megalopolis and promoting regional economic development.

2. After the completion of the project, it will form the personal rapid transit network, the Harbin-

Dalian passenger line in Heilongjiang region, connect all passenger line networks. It will make

personal rapid transit network went deep to various regions of Heilongjiang, expand the coverage

radius of the personal rapid transit network.It not only can give full play to the benefit of the

passenger line, but also meet the requirement of personal rapid transit between the cities along the

passenger line. The implement of this project will greatly compress the space-time distance

between Northeast and Harbin and even inside Shanhaiguan Pass. It contributes to promoting the

improvement of Harbin Metropolitan. It has great importance for accelerating the process of

urbanization along the line. It has great importance for promoting win-win cooperation in

Northeast and accelerating regional economic integration.

3. Although the implement of this project occupies the land of land acquisition residents who are

made to change their life and their way of operating income or migrate passively. But with

implement of kinds of Compensation and proper placement by railway and local authorities, the

income and housing conditions of the residents will not less than pre-migration. It will also play a

role in promoting economic development of some region.

Environmental Economic Cost-Benefit Analysis

Harbin-Jiamusi railway construction will occupy a certain amount of land, increase soil erosion

and cause loss and adverse impact on the environment, meanwhile, also require a certain

investment in the environmental protection. But this project will bring about enormous social and

environmental benefits, improve the transportation along the route, promote the development and

utilization of resources along the route. It has significant social benefits. After necessary

comprehensive treatment for the adverse environmental effects, the adverse effects of the railway

project will be greatly eased, meanwhile, there will be a certain environmental compensation

efficiency by resuming the project.

Environmental protection project investment is 2.1% of the total investment, which is correspond

to the investment in environmental protection of normal railway project, it can guarantee the

environmental project practice and the operation of environmental protection facilities in the

Construction project.

17.4 Summary

The new construction of railway project from Harbin to Jiamusi will impact on the environment,

sound, vibration environment, water and atmospheric environment in a certain area along the both

side of the railway line. However project design put forward effective ecological protection and

restoration measures, soil erosion control measures and pollution control measures combined with

the local characteristics, evaluated and carried out supplement and improvement for the measures.

After seriously and roundly implemented the various environmental protection measures in the

environment assessment report in the project construction and operations, construction impacts on

the environment and pollution could be effectively controlled or slowed down.

Evaluation: The project is good for improving the traffic conditions along, and promoting the

regional economic development, the measures in the design and environmental impact statement

is feasible for the project.
