Environmental Field Inspectors provide routinemonitoring of activity.

Impacts fromearthworks and spoilproduction, handlingand disposal

Large quantities of spoil will result from earthworkexcavation and from building demolition.

About 246,800 m3 of excavation spoil is anticipated fromproject, mainly from the raw water intake and thetransmission tunnel works.

195,800m3 will be used for urban construction in Ningbocity, 10,000m3 will be utilized for this project and100,600m3 will be disposed in specific sites.

A detailed construction program, including phasing,proposal for transport route and description of proposeddisposal sites, will be required from the concernedcontractors prior to start the works.

Spoil from trunk main and urban ring main sites will bereuse for backfill.

Dust and sediment discharge to reservoir and rivers mayoccur from uncovered and unconsolidated materials duringearthworks in dry season.

Dust may affect resident population in the areas wheretrunks are laid down.

Appropriate management of earthworks in accordancewith the contractor environmental specifications. This willinclude rules for piling, compacting and spraying spoilwhile waiting evacuation or reuse. Temporary storage ofearth piles will drain into sedimentation basin beforedischarge of run-off to the river.

Traffic congestion resulting from urban ring mainconstruction may result in temporary higher levels ofpollutants (TSP, NOx, CO).

Public information and appropriate construction practicesand organization, with road signs and coordination withtraffic Police will minimize impacts and ease traffic duringworks.

Use of local medias and poster campaigns to informpopulation on work schedule and location will helpreducing traffic disruption or congestion.

Impacts on waterquality

Construction wastewater and domestic sewage duringconstruction will be discharged into the environment andmay result in impact on river quality.

Pollution hazard may also result from heavy operatingmachinery, from storage of potential pollutants, such aspetrol or engine oils, from concrete production, fromdrainage of earth stock piles, from inappropriate disposal ofused engine oils and locally generated waste (workshops,labour camps).

The risk applies to all construction sites, but is obviouslymore significant in the water intake site due to the vicinity ofJiaokou reservoir, and in the pipelines construction when itcrosses a river.

Wastewater will be discharged after treatment when thestandards are respected.

Wastewater generated during construction of the waterintake will be recovered and not discharged into thereservoir.

Strict contractor environmental specifications regardingthe handling, storage or disposal of hazardous productsand of waste produced on the construction sites.

Monitoring of construction sites by EnvironmentSupervisor.

Impacts on off-sitepublic safety

Risk is higher for components located in densely populatedareas.Increased traffic of trucks on some road sections mayincrease risk of traffic accident.For network component, increase risk of traffic accidentbecause the alteration of the road traffic and risk forresidents if excavation and works in the streets are not wellisolated and protected from public area.

Strict clauses imposed to the contractor for theimplementation of acceptable standards for the safety ofresidents surrounding construction sites: fencing,information to concerned residents, access to roads andbuildings, procedure if road accident.Detailed specifications on traffic regulation inside andoutside the construction area to be prepared.

Monitoring by Environment Supervisors.

Impacts on culturalheritage

No impact is anticipated on construction sites. Possiblepresence of archaeological or historical artifacts under thefuture excavations.

Specific procedures if underground artifacts are identifiedduring excavation works in coordination with EnvironmentSupervisor.



2 - ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATION STAGE – Ningbo Water Supply Project

Impact on the qualityof life

Construction of NWSP will improve the water quality andquantity distributed in the city to resolve the existingproblems on the water supply.

No mitigation measure required.

Impact on surfacewater

Jiaokou Reservoir: The annual hydrograph on the ZhangxiRiver will be modified due to the Zhougongzhai reservoirand the diversion of water to Ningbo City, with reduced wetseason flows and moderately reduced dry season flows.The estimated flow variations on an average year beforethe diversion are 3.9 m3/s (January)-20 m3/s (August),whereas after the diversion the flow range is estimated tobe within the range of 3-5 m3/s throughout the year. Duringa drought year (P=90%), the low flow in January is only 0.4m3/s, whereas after the diversion a minimum flow of 0.8m3/s will be maintained under all conditions.

While the reduction in high season flows is likely to havesome impact on the river benthic fauna and fisherycommunities, the actual impact is difficult to predict inadvance. An analysis of the Zhangxi River shows that itdoes not have any identified rare species or importantcommercial fisheries, although there may be an impact onsome sedentary fishes which are used by local residents,such as the snakehead fish. The EIA concludes that theplanned flow releases from the Jiaokou reservoir, after thediversion, can meet the water and ecological demandswithout causing significant environmental impact.

The analysis presented in the EIA is appropriate at thisstage of the planning process. However, environmentalflow assessment is a complex issue and thus a morecomprehensive study will be conducted duringimplementation and prior to the start of water diversionsto further optimise the operation of Jiaokou reservoir. Inparticular, it might be useful to have occasional largerflows to preserve an element of natural variability.Although no adverse impacts are expected from the waterdiversion, Ningbo will establish a monitoring and"Grievance Redress System" to identify and rectify anyunexpected impacts. The Redress System will includenotifying local authorities, posting signs along the river,and other appropriate notification methods, as well asestablishing a system for recording, investigating, andwhere necessary, rectifying any adverse impacts.

The water quality in Zhangxi river will not be impacted bythe NWSP project, but pollutions could occur from industrialeffluents in the river.

Monitoring of water quality in rivers by EMD.

Effluent from Maojiaping WTW may locally impact theXiaoxi river quality, but pollution level is limited as thepresent water quality is Class III with a great environmentalcapacity.

Wastewater will be discharged after treatment when thestandards are respected.

Compliance monitoring of effluent quality from WTW andenforcement of effluent standards.

Monitoring of water quality should be performed indownstream river.

Compliance monitoring to be performed byoperators, with random controls of EMD.

Monitoring of water quality in rivers by EMD.

Generated wastewater after water utilization in Ningbo citywill increase. But according to planning, the wastewatertreatment capacity will be sufficient.

Monitoring of the planning implementation.



Impact on reservoirsmanagement

Zhougongzhai and Jiaokou reservoirs will be used as waterdrinking sources, therefore the water stored in thereservoirs should be in good quality

Protection zone defined in Zoughongzhai EA shouldbe reinforced and associated water qualitymeasures should be taken.

Monitoring of water quality in reservoirs by EMD.

Impact of noise Noise from heavy machinery in the WTW will havenegligible impact because there is no residential areaaround it.


Monitoring to be carried out on a random basis byEMD.

Impact of sludge Sludge from Maojiaping WTW could become a potentialpollution source for surface water and groundwater.However the impacts are minor because it basicallycontains no harmful substances.

Treated dry sludge will be used as backfill and it is notallowed to cover vegetation.

Monitoring of sludge quality should be performed.

(TABLE 2 CONTINUED)


2 - ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATION STAGE – Cixi Wastewater Project

Impact on the qualityof life

Construction of CWP will improve the rivers water quality inthe city.

No mitigation measure required.

Impact on waterquality

The WWTP effluents after treatment should meet theStandard A of first level of WWTP effluent standard, then bedischarged into the canal network causing local decreasingof water quality.

Compliance monitoring of effluents should be performedby operators.

Random controls of effluent quality should beperformed by EMD.

Monitoring of water quality in canals network byEMD.

Further modeling should be performed when thecanals network situation will be better known.

Cixi Effluent Management: Water quality modelling wasconducted for both the Cixi canal network and the marinenear-shore areas. Various scenarios were simulated andthe modelling results confirmed that the project willsignificantly improve the water quality of the overall Cixicanal network. There will be a moderate deterioration ofwater quality in the vicinity of the wastewater treatmentplant discharge points, but the overall water quality isconsidered acceptable by SEPA. During the flood periods,the canal-sea gates in the vicinity of the two treatmentplants will be opened to release flood waters to HangzhouBay. The flood waters will be mixed with treated effluentand thus the impact of these occasional releases on near-shore areas was modeled under different scenarios. Thescenarios considered various tidal regimes, and floodseason and dry season flows. The modeling indicated thatthe mixing zone during discharge periods is kept within 2kms from the shoreline, and the resulting water qualitywould be in compliance with the national ocean functionzone requirements. The modelling results were accepted bySEPA.

During the first year of operation, the canal water qualityin the vicinity of the discharge points for both plants willbe extensively monitored. If the monitoring resultsindicate water quality problems in either the canal networkor marine near-shore area, then a study will beundertaken to analyze mitigation measures, including butnot limited to: i) increasing the number of dischargepoints; ii) modifying canal gate operation to avoid short-circuiting of flow; and iii) restricting beneficial uses in thevicinity of discharge point, particularly for near shoreareas.



Impact on air qualityand odors

Odorous pollutants will be produced in WWTP by thebiological treatment tank and sludge tank. The airconcentrations modelized at plant boundaries and sensitivepoints meet the standard requirement.

Regular monitoring to be carried out by WWTPcompanies.


The protective sanitary distance (500m for northernWWTP and 300m for eastern WWTP) should berespected.

Impact of noise Main noise sources are sewage lift pumps, air compressorsand sewage pumps with noise level 85-92dB(A). The twoWWTP will not have substantial impacts on the surroundingacoustic environment.

With the noise insulation effect of pump station building,noise level at pumping station boundary can satisfy thecorresponding noise standard, particularly in town area(west 1#, central 1#, central 2# and east 1# pump stations).



Impact of sludge The sludge amount is 67,200m3/year.

The sludge will be transported to nearby municipal landfillsites in trucks with air-tight tanks. The sludge from theNorthern plant will be disposed in the Cixi West landfill, andthe sludge from the Eastern plant will be disposed in theEastern landfill. The Western landfill was expanded andupgraded in 2002, and currently has 10 empty cells whichwill use impermeable liners and leachate treatmentsystems. Cixi City will upgrade the Eastern landfill in 2005and utilize impermeable liners and leachate treatmentsystems for the four remaining cells. The Western landfill isforecast to reach full capacity around 2012, and Easternlandfill will reach capacity in 2015.

Since the two landfills will be full after only 5-7 years ofwastewater treatment plant operation, the Cixi MunicipalSewerage Company will develop a sludge managementplan to consider alternative long-term options for sludgemanagement. Monitoring of sludge quality will also takeplace to ensure that the sludge can be safely disposed ina municipal landfill per Chinese environmental standards.

Impact on wetlands The treated effluents will be discharged into the canalsnetwork then into the sea through sea gates. The two seagates are quite far from important protected wetland.

Random controls of effluent quality should beperformed by EMD.

Monitoring of water quality in marine environmentby EMD.

• COMMUNICATIONS AND NON-COMPLIANCE RESOLUTION

• HIERARCHY OF NON-COMPLIANCE

The management of the environmental monitoring effort will involve open communications between the field personnel of the CSE, the EMDs and the PMO.

To help focus senior management attention on the most important issues, non-compliance observations will be separated into three levels on the basis of their importance:

Level I. Definition: A non-compliance situation not consistent with original requirements but not believed to represent an immediate threat to an identified important resource. Repeated Level I concerns may become Level II concerns if left unattended.

Response: Level I situations will typically be addressed adequately by normal co-ordination and routine communications (e.g. discussion with the Contractor staff in many cases). Corrective action should be agreed to as expeditiously as practical. Formal communications will typically be limited to routine weekly reports from Environment Supervisor to EMD and Site Construction Manager.

Level II Definition: A non-compliance situation that has not yet resulted in clearly identified damage or irreversible impact to a sensitive or important resource, but requires expeditious corrective action and site-specific attention to prevent such effects. Repeated Level II concerns may become Level III if left unattended.

Response: Level II events are to be reported by EMD to PMO Environmental Manager and to the Site Construction Manager the same day as identified. Corrective action should be agreed to and initiated as expeditiously as practical, typically within the week following initial identification of the issue requiring attention.

Level III Definition: A critical non-compliance situation, typically including observed damage to a specifically protected sensitive resource or a reasonable expectation of impending damage. Intentional disregard of specific prohibitions is also classified as Level III.

Response: Level III concerns are to be reported by by EMD to PMO Environmental Manager and the Company’s Construction Manager the same day as they are identified. Corrective action should be agreed to and initiated within 3 days of original observation unless special circumstances require a longer period.

If necessary, the EMD may require the construction manager to halt specific activities in order to protect resources while corrective actions are implemented.

• IMPACT MONITORING: WATER QUALITY MONITORING (WQM)

• OBJECTIVES OF MONITORING

Objectives of water quality monitoring are:

• To ensure a strict control of pollution from construction activities and to check the efficiency of water quality protection measures set up by the civil work contractor;

• To ensure that construction activities do not alter significantly the river or reservoir water quality;

• To ensure that operation do not alter significantly the rivers or sea quality. During the operation period of the NWSP, Maojiaping WTP effluents could have impact on Xiaoxi river, therefore a water quality compliance monitoring of Maojiaping effluent should be performed. In addition, EA show that the project will have no significant impacts on river quality downstream of Jiaokou reservoir. But the effluents discharged by villages and industries in the river downstream Jiaokou reservoir outlet cause a reduction in river water quality. Therefore, it is recommended that a comprehensive water quality monitoring is carried out although, this will not be the responsibility of this project downstream of the Jiaokou reservoir outlet.

During the operation period of the CWP, EA show that the project will have beneficial impacts on the quality of Cixi canal network but the WWTP effluents discharged in the canal network could have an impact on the canal in case of technical incident. Therefore a compliance water quality monitoring of WWTP effluents should be performed. The canal network quality depends on the quality of other effluents from industries. Therefore, it is recommended to perform a complete water quality monitoring into the canals network to follow the evolution of all the canals quality.

Water quality standards applied in PRC are provided in Appendix 1.

• ORGANIZATION

Water quality monitoring during construction and operation periods will be subcontracted by the EMD to an accredited agency. This agency will carry out, at the request of the EMD, control sampling of the pollution loads from construction sites, WTW and WWTP, to ensure the results provided by the Contractors are true and correct.

The Contractors will be requested to follow up the pollution load from its installations on a monthly basis during construction period, in imposed sampling sites and in accordance with sampling procedures determined by the EMD.

• LOCATION OF SAMPLING SITES

For the construction sites monitoring, sampling sites will be distributed in critical points where the control of effluents from construction activities can be easily implemented. All the sites will be determined by EMDs on the basis of the installation design provided by the contractor.

During operation, for the effluents monitoring (compliance monitoring), sampling sites will be distributed where the control of effluents from WTW and WWTP can be easily implemented.




NB: For the long term monitoring of water quality in rivers and canal networks, sampling stations need to be located at least upstream and downstream the anticipated influence zone of the water treatment works and the two wastewater treatment plants. The exact location for these stations will be defined by EMD. Regarding the Cixi sewer network component, the quality monitoring of the canal network should rapidly demonstrate the huge beneficial impact from the project interceptor sewers.

• WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM

Two types of indicators will be considered:

• Those related to the follow up of potential pollution sources, and • Those related to larger characterization of the receiving water bodies in relation to their

quality objectives.

During construction period, the most likely pollution types from construction works will be suspended solids due to earthworks, acidification due to concrete related activities, and hydrocarbons from engine leakage and maintenance. Potential pollution from labour camps (if any) is mainly of bacteriological nature and related to sanitation issues. Due to the existing pollution observed, the monitoring proposed during construction has only limited opportunity to reveal the direct influence of any potential sources on the water bodies quality.

COD and BOD5 will be measured in a Water Quality Laboratory.

All results (site and laboratory) will be recorded by the EMD in a logbook and in a computer data base similar to or fully compatible with the existing EPB data base system.




• REPORTING

Reports on WQM results and interpretative analysis will be edited every month by EMD. Monthly reports will also include results from random control analysis.

Monthly reports of WQM and other monitoring results are provided by EMD to the PMO Environment Manager.

Quarterly reports and annual summary of WQM activities and results will be prepared and submitted by PMO Environment Manager to authorized environmental protection administrative departments in charge of this project and the World Bank.

• IMPACT MONITORING: AIR AND NOISE MONITORING

• PURPOSE OF MONITORING

Monitoring of air quality and noise will be maintained throughout construction and operation stages of the project. Purpose of monitoring is to ensure that air pollution, dust and noise standards are respected on the construction sites and that these nuisances are kept at the minimum acceptable level for the surrounding residents.

In order to reduce the impacts of construction noise on adjacent residents and in accordance with local regulations for stationary noise source control and management, construction sites located within 200 m of residences should not be allowed to operate during the period from 10 PM to 6 AM next morning. In addition, it is required that equipment with low noise outputs is used. If it comes necessary, for construction purposes, to work occasionally at night, causing a noise nuisance to local residents, it is required i) to use noise-reduction measures ii) to limit as much as possible the duration of the nuisance and iii) to provide information on location, date and expected duration of the nuisance, in advance to the concerned population using posters and local medias (radios, newspapers). Work during night period should not be authorized in areas located less than 200 m from hospital or clinics.

Quarterly basis.

Noise measurements should be carried out twice a day (during the day and during the night). The monitoring sites should be at least those selected in the EA studies.

• ORGANIZATION AND REPORTING

EMD will subcontract monitoring of air quality to an accredited agency. Sites will be determined by EMD at the start of the works.

EMD will manage during the construction period, random monitoring of noise produced by equipment and machines used on the construction sites. Control will also be performed at the request of the EMD Manager, following either primary request from the Environment Supervisor or direct claims from residents.

Results from measurements and analysis are compiled by EMD in a quarterly report submitted to PMO. Exceptional monitoring activities carried out upon special request, will be reported within three days to EMD for immediate action if justified.

Quarterly reports and annual summary of air and noise related activities and results will be prepared and submitted by PMO to authorized environmental protection administrative departments and the World Bank.
