Preface
Panzhihua City is an important industry base of steel vanadium, titanium and energy in
China. Industrial construction is put in the first place while urban construction lags behind
relatively in the past. In order to build Panzhihua City into a modernized metropolis, the
urban construction process must be accelerated and the urban environment, improved. The
environment improvement project which World Bank loan will be used is just to meet the
demand of Panzhihua City development.
The whole project consists of riverbank slope protection, upper section of Binjiang Road,
interceptor and trunk sewers, scenery project and last section of Bingren Road. The four
subsections are named as environmental improvement project along the Jinsha River. The
gross investment budget of the project is RMB 1220.65 millions Yuan (nearly $ 147.42
millions), and the budget of RMB 577.94 millions Yuan (nearly $ 69.80 millions) will be
from the World Bank loan.
The construction of the project will improve the urban environment infstructure of
Panzhihua City and improve the landscape along the Jinsha River. It can also provide an
essential basis for continued urban development and living environment, and lay a solid
foundation for turning Panzhihua into a beautiful city. At the same time, it can improve
traffic condition of the city, irmpove the urban zoning, and broaden the developmental
space and development potential of the city.
This project is in accordance with the national policies. Based on the relevant laws, rules,
policies and the specifications on environmental protection by China National
Environment Protection Agency (NEPA) and the stipulations in the Guideline of
Environmental Assessment by the World Bank, the environment impact assessment of the
project should be carried out. For this reason, Chengdu Hydropower Investigation Design
& Research Institute (CHIDI) of China Hydropower Engineering Consultant Group
Corporation (CHECC) was commissioned to undertake the EIA of the proposed project by
Panzhihua Urban Construction Investment Management Co., Ltd. Based on the analysis of
project design files, the EA team carried out an project site survey and collected materials
related to the project. According to "Technology Guideline of Environmental Impact
Assessment", "Environmental Impact Assessment Specifications of Highway Construction
Project" and the World Bank related environment assessment business policies, the project
environmental impact pre-assessment report was completed in May, 2005, and submitted
to the World Bank delegation for pre-assessment of the project. At the same time,
"Environmental Impact Assessment Outline of the Environment Improvement Project in
Panzhihua City" was completed. At the request of Sichuan Environment Protection Bureau
(SEPB), Sichuan Environmental Engineering Evaluation Center hosted the technical
appraisal meeting of the outline on May 18, 2005 in Chengdu. According to opinions and
suggestions of the attending representatives and experts, the final edition of the outline was
completed in August 2005..
According to the document issued by SEPB and opinions and requirements of the World
Bank, the EA team carried out several rounds of site survey and investigation, and
entrusted Panzhihua Environment Monitoring Station to monitor the acoustic environment

and substrate sludge in the The Jinsha River River supplementally. On the basis of these
work, "Environmental Impact Assessment Report of Environment Improvement Project in
Panzhihua City" was prepared in October 2005 to submit to the World Bank for project
appraisement, and to SEPB for examination.
The compilation of this report have obtained the supports from Panzhihua Urban
Construction Investment Management Co., Ltd, related municipal departments of
Panzhihua City government, Chengdu Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute,
and Southwest Jiaotong University, as well as guidance from from the World Bank experts.
All these helps and instructions are appreciated.

1 Overview
1.1 Origin of the Assessment
The Environment Improvement in Panzhihua City is a sub-project of Sichuan Urban
Developmente Project (SUDP), to be supported by a World Bank (WB) loan. It consists of
environmental improvement along the Jinsha River and the construction of the Bingren
Road last section. World Bank project task team inspected Panzhihua City on November
20th~28th, 2003, May 31th~June 5th, 2004 and October 18th~27th, 2004, respectively, and
subsequently determined the contents of the urban environment improvement project.
Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission approved the project in
October, 2004. The project will improve the environmental infrastructure of Panzhihua
City, improve the living and transportation conditions and provide new space for urban
development of the city.
According to the reqirements of the environmental protection laws, regulations, policies
and the specifications on environmental protection of China and requirements of the
relevant World Bank operational policies, an environment impact assessment (EIA) for the
project should be carried out. CHIDI was commissioned by Panzhihua Urban Construction
Investment Management Co., Ltd. to undertake the EIA of the proposed project

1.2 Background of the Project

1.2.1

Panzhihua Urban Planning

1.2.1.1 Urban Development Plan

According to the Master Plan of Panzhihua City (1997-2020), the objective of Panzhihua
City development is to build a modern city with an industry base related to natural
resources in western China, a regional center in the boundary area of Sichuan and Yunnan
Province and a garden city with mountain, river and the southern subtropical scene. Three
zones are planned for City development, which are the urban centre, urban area and city
area. The urban area is aobut 65 km 2, from Geliping to the west, Jinjiang Town to the
southeast, the foot of Dahei Mountain to the north, and Renhe Town to the south. The city
area includes urban district, Miyi and Yanbian Counties with a total of about 7440.4 km2.
The urban center Panzhihua City consists of East District, West District and Central
District. The Central District consists of Bingcaogang, Duren, Nongnongping and Panmi
sub-district. The urban centre locates in Bingcaogang which has political, economical,
cultural, technological, commercial and financial function. The area of the urban centre is
about 40 km2 and the population is about 400 to 420 thousand. The west district consists of
Geliping, Hemenkou and Taojiadu sub-district. The major functions of the district are
energy generation, building material and timber machining. The area is 15 17 km2 and
the population is 180~200 thousand. The east districts functions are railway transportation
pivots, material distributing and titanic industry. The planned area of this district is 910
km2, with population of 30 to 50 thousand.

According to the urban planning, the area of the control land will be within 60 km 2 and the
population will reach 1133 thousand by 2010. The GDP will reach 289 hundred million,
about twice as the data in 2000. The per capita GDP will be 25.8 thousand. The ratio of
primary, secondary and tertiary domain in civil economic is 3:57:40. The industrial
structure will optimize constantly.
The proposed project accords with the overall plan of Panzhihua City. It is beneficial for
environment and road network improvement, industrial structure adjustment, space
distribution optimization and economic development. It is also helpful for improving
ecological environment and river scenery along the Jinsha River.
1.2.1.2 Road Traffic Plan
Urban road system consists of express road, primary trunk road, secondary trunk road and
sideways. The urban centre will be the core of the road network where roads stretch out
along the south and north banks of the Jinsha River and Renhe Stream, forming a network.
Roads in the urban area were designed and built according to the actual landform. By 2020
the trunk road in urban centre will reach the length of 465 km and the density of the
network will be 7.65 km/km2. The ratio of the land used for road and city square will be
12.54%, the area of per capita land will be 11.58 m2.
The public traffic will be the first choice in urban road system. Network structure will be
optimized, and vehicle component will be moderated. By 2020, the total length of the
public transportation network would be 219.1 km with the density of the network of 3.65
km/km2.
According to the urban traffic plan of panzhihua city for 2000~2020, the road G108,
S310, S216 will rebuild to second level road. A series second and third level county road
will be constructed to communicate to the outside. Centre road plan emphasizes on the
rebuilding of Bingren Line, Binjiang Road, Yanze Road, Yanhong Road, Honglan Road,
Bingqing Road, Taoshi Line (from 06 bridge to Geliping) and Panmi Line to adapt the
development of the Bingcaogang district, the area along the Jinsha River, Yanbian new
town and Ertan landscape spot. The traffic road plan will also serve for the Panzhihua Steal
factory, Mining Bureau, and Panzhihua Mine Factory. More investment will be used on
rebuilding the Jinwu Road, Zonglong Line and Dujin line which form a chain line to adapt
the development of the Jinjiang industrial developing district and bring the future
economic developing hotspot into the new traffic network.
The project is a component of road traffic plan. The front section of Binjiang Road will
connect Jiangnansilu Roads with the constructed Binjiang Road to form a double way in
the downtown area. The last section of the Bingren Road is a extension of the front section.
This road will connect the future urban centre with the Renhe district. The construction of
the last section will strengthen the density of the urban road network and alleciate the
pressure which brought by the traffic in urban centre. It will also make positive effect on
developing the new urban. It is therefore that the road construction suit for the road traffic
plan.
1.2.1.3 The plan of urban water source, water supply and drainage project

According to the plan, the water source of Panzhihua city is surface water which comes
from the Jinsha River and the The Yalong River River except for some unit individually.
By 2010, the scale of the supply water in urban centre will reach 226 thousand m 3/d. Water
supply and sewage capacity in urban area of Panzhihua City is listed below.

Industry waste water should be treated to the required effluent quality before discharge,
and the total capacity of the sewage will be controlled. The principle of disposal for urban
waste water is to protect the drink water in the near future, then protects the quality of river
in the far future. Nine sewage WWTPs will be constructed, such as Geliping, Tanjiadu,
Hemenkou-Qingxiangping, Duren, Bingcaogang, Nongnongping, Panmi, Jinjiang and
Renhe. The scale of the Bingcaogang sewage WWTP which has already been built is 30
thousand m3/d, while Renhe sewage WWTP, which is under construction, is 20 thousand
m3/d.

The interceptor and trunk sewers of this project consists of the first and second grade
interceptor and trunk sewers in Qingxiangping sewage WWTP, Wushisi~ Bingcaogang
interceptor and trunk sewers and some sub-trunk pipe. To suit for the interceptor and trunk
sewers construction, Qingxiangping sewage WWTP is planned to be constructed at the
same time (details see Appendix 5).

Background and Necessity of the Construction

1.2.2.1 Background and Necessity of the environmental improvement project along

Jinsha River
(1) Background of the construction

1) The sustainable development situation of the city

The urban sustainable development level of Panzhihua is not high; the SD of Panzhihua is
only 0.42 in the estimation by Beijing University. The river bank protection of the project
is benificial for improving the sustainable level of the city. In terms of system coordination,
ecological environment treatment intensity will be increased, the ratio between pollution
treatment fund and GDP will be raised, and the ratio of pollutant discharge with the
growth rates of GDP will be reduced. The correlation of economy and social development
will be added by improving the contribution rate of science and technology progress and
the employment rate. In terms of system development level, the quality of ecological
system will be improved through upgrading the atmospheric and water body quality
indicators.
2) The requirement of urban economic and social development
Although the history of Panzhihua City is short, it is well known both home and abroad. In
2002 the GDP per capita was 13,200 yuan, which ranks No. 2 in Sichuan Province.
However the citys public infrastructure is not suitable for its present situation, the city is
not beautiful enough, and human habitat environment is far from perfect. All those affected
the stability of employee team and the development of economy to a certain degree.
This project can beautify the city, improve the urban scene and transportation, and help to
enhance publics determination to love Panzhihua and build Panzhihua. It is instrumental
to stabilize the employee team and play a proactive role in the talent introduction and
investment promotion, indirectly facilitate the economic and social development of this
city.
3) The demand for the construction of a city with mountainous and waterside garden
After the former Premier Zhu Rongji advocated for to build Panzhihua into a city with
mountainous and waterside garden, in order to implement this instruction, Master Plan
for Panzhihua, the City with Mountainous sand Waterside Garden was drafted. This
project is the implementation of this master plan, and is one of the important steps in the
realization of the master plan. The completion of the project shall accelerate the pace for
constructing Panzhihua into a city with mountainous and riverside garden, has important
meaning to the urbanization and modernization of Panzhihua city.
(2) Necessity of the construction
1) Need for ecological environment improvement and pollution control
Along the bank of Jinsha River, more than 40 million tons metallurgical dreg, gangue, coal
slag and building rubbish have been piled up, which the west slag field of Panzhihua Iron
and Steel Group, the slag field of Panzhihua Coal Group and the spoil ground of Panzhihua
Cold-rolled Factory are the large-scale ones.
The West Slag Field of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group is more than 100m high and more
than 1km in length, the area occupation of which is more than 40ha.
The water quality of Jinsha River along Panzhihua city is not good as expected because of
the drainaging waste and losting of water and soil. Moderating the protection facility, the
project is propitious to the spoil dregs stabilization and pollution and water & soil lost

control.
2) Need for city beautification and living environment improvement
The present status of the river bank is in a mess. The land type on Jinsha River bank is
mainly the shrubs and weeds, protectection sill of the building waste, naked rock beach and
patched farmland.
The standard of the city view and environmental quality is higher and higher according to
the demand of resident. The desirability to improve the living environment is being more
and more intensity.
Such a mess bank does not suitable for the modernized cityscape obviously. Renovating
the Jinsha riverside is a demand for turning Panzhihua into a modernized city as a garden
with beautiful mountains and rivers.
High qualitative urban extent is a mainly guideline in modernization. Such mess river bank
is not suitable for the above demands. From this point of view, it should improve the
environment of the river bank.
Sichuan Province, Yunan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region have decided to
construct the The Great Shangri-La international ecological tour district. Panzhihua City
situated at the siteseeing line, and was famous for its ancient sago cycas forest which is the
biggest, most peculiar and largest in number. The age of the forest is 2.7 hundred million
years (same age as dinosaur). The construction of the project can improve the
environmental quality and make the city to match the brand of international tour district.
1.2.2.2 Background and Necessity of the last section of Bingren Road
(1) Background for the last section of Bingren Line
1) Liquidize the land assets, speed up the pace for modernization
The construction of last section of Bingren Line can not only bring along the land
development for the area of 6.5 km2 at Ganbatang, etc, but also facilitate the transformation
of rural population to urban population while building the new district, and upgrade the
urbanization level.
In the indicator system for the city to basically realize modernization, the completed
investment in the construction of various infrastructures in 2002 accounted for only 9% of
the GDP of that year. There is a considerable gap between the requirement of no less than
15% of GDP invested in infrastructure. The construction of this project and the new district
development shall greatly minimize this gap, and speed up the pace for urban
modernization.
2) Create conditions for development of tertiary industry and improvement of economic
structure
Panzhihua is a city of heavy industry. In 2002 the ratio of three industries are
6.2:68.5:25.3. This was seriously against the basic requirement of modern economic
structure in which tertiary industrys percentage shall be larger than that of secondary
industry. The growth of GDP must be at the price of resource squandering and damage to
environment which result in the situation of growth without development (conclusion of
the joint study in 1998 conducted by Beijing University and Municipal Planning
Commission of the city). Panzhihua city is of the land form of mountainous river valley.
25% of the land for development for the new district is located at slope up to 25 degree.

However the terrain from Renhe Township to Zongfa is relatively plain, where water,
electricity and road access are available. The development cost for this district is relatively
lower, which shall facilitate the development of real estate, heighten the development of
tertiary industry and investment promotion.
(2) Necessity of the construction
1) Need for road network densification and Renhe District development
Renhe District has changed into an important part of urban centre from suburb. However,
there is only Duren Road which connecting Bingcaogang and Renhe by way of Dadukou.
It is expected that the traffic volume of the road would be up to the 20,000 cars/day in 2005
and 28,000 cars/day in 2010. Considering rapidly development of Renhe District, it is
necessary to develop Bingren Road last section and form the traffic circle connecting the
two important district of Bingcaogang and Duren. It will not only increase the density of
the urban road network of Panzhihua, but strengthen the connection of districts as well.
2) Need for the safety of Bingcaogang District and Airport Road
Bingcaogang District to be constructed soon lies by Bingren Road. The road to the
airport which has just been put into operation connects with the middle section of Bingren
Road. At present, there is only the first section of Bingren Road which connects
Bingcaogang district and airport with Bingcaogang& district. If the last section of
Bingren Road cant be opened, Bingcaogang district and airport will be disconnected
with other districts of Panzhihua when landslip, earthquake or serious traffic accident
happen. It is imperative to open Bingren Road and increase more traffic entrances and
exits.
Being an important part of the urban centre, more and more enterprises and public
institutions will move into Bingcaogang district, while a large number of their staff's
relatives and children work and study in Bingcaogang & district. As the commercial
center of the whole city is mainly in Bingcaogangdistrict, the internal and external
connection is extremely frequent. It can be expected that Bingcaogang district will be
crowded closely with private cars and result in serious traffic jams at the joint section of
Bingren Road and Jiangnanerlu Road. If Bingren Road opens smoothly, an entrance will
increase and some traffic will be shunt, thus the traffic jams on the section can be
decreased and the traffic safety will be ensured greatly.
3) Need for urban development and construction
The land resource is very tense in the urban area of Panzhihua. Through the construction of
the last section of Bingren Road, 6.5 km 2 can be explored for urban construction. It is
especially valuable for Panzhihua, the hilly city, where more than 92% area is upland.
The industrial structure of Panzhihua is unreasonable. The secondary industry is too big
while the tertiary industry is too small, being the last one among the 10 national largest
steel cities and 20 Provincial cities of Sichuan. To improve the industrial structure and
develop new space for the tertiary industry, the construction of the last section of Bingren
Road is the most effective way.

The population distribution of Panzhihua is not balance. By the end of 2003, the total
urban population is 520,000 and the density is 12,400 persons per capita square kilometer.
The population density of the urban center is much higher than the average. Through the
construction of the last section of Bingren Road and development new urban area, some
people can move out from centre district and much population can transfer from
contaminated area to the new urban area.
4) Need for collecting fund and paying off loans
Most of the lands along the Bingren Road are wasteland. In the construction of
Bingcaogang district, the price of the wasteland increases from RMB 450,000 Yuan per
capita ha. (RMB 45 Yuan per capita m 2) to RMB 2 million Yuan per capita ha. (RMB 200
Yuan per capita m2). The value of the wasteland would rise to RMB 1.55 million Yuan per
capita ha..6.5 km2 lands can be developed when the last section of Bingren Road is
completed, thus it can take back the fund of RMB 1 billion Yuan.
With the construction of the road, the price of the land on both sides will raise up. Bingren
Road is about 11.28 km long except the tunnel, the utilized land on both sides of the road is
assumed to be 30 m wide and the appreciated value of the land is RMB 900 Yuan; RMB
600 million Yuan can take back.
The incomes mentioned above can repay all the loans of the project (including the project
of Jinsha riverside environment improvement).

1.3 Objectives of the Assessment

2.3 Brief introduction to main part project

The main part of the project consists of riverbank slope protection, upper section of
Binjiang Road, interceptor and trunk sewers, scenery project and last section of Bingren
Road. The riverbank slope protection, upper section of Binjiang Road, interceptor and
trunk sewers and scenery project are named as environmental improvement project along
Jinsha River.

2.3.1

Riverbank slope protection

2.3.1.1 Type and schemes

In view of the circumstance of the bank along the river, there are three schemes for the
slope protection.
(1) Incline retaining wall
This scheme is applicable to the waste disposal area located in the left bank downstream of
the Xinzhuang Bridge from 0+550 to 1+330. This segment lies in the coulee of river where
is too narrow to progress the excavation work. Considering the risk of landslide and the
investment, the slope protection for this part below the flood line every 20 years should be
designed as the masonry retaining wall, and which between the flood line every 20 years
and that of every 50 years should be designed as the geogrid.

(2) Gravitation retaining wall

There are three waste disposal areas respectively located in the right bank between
Xinzhuang Bridge and Dukou Bridge from 3+450 to 4+600, the left bank between Dukou
Bridge and Midi Bridge from 4+700 to 5+750, and the left bank downstream of the
Luoguo Bridge from 0+000 to 0+325.26. The gravitation retaining wall should be the best
choice from the view of economy and technology.
(3) Skeleton slope protection
There are four skeleton slope protection sites respectively located in the right bank
between Xinzhuang Bridge and Dukou Bridge from +280.13 to 6+971.76, the right bank of
the waste disposal area of Bingcaogang Sewage WWTP from 2+455.58 to 2+854.39, the
right bank from Midi Bridge to Luoguo Bridge, and the right bank from Luoguo Bridge to
Shuangjiangkou Bridge. The main objective to construct the slope protection is glorifying
the bank along the river. The rhombic skeleton should be the most suitable type for the
skeleton slope protection in the view of economy and technology.
The statistics of the types of slope protection is shown in the following table.

construction project is fully utilized. But it is easy to rent the ajacent residence house.
Therefore, the residence houses are rent for construction campus. This can reduce the land
use and land surface destroy, and can reduce environmental impact as a result.
According to the construction planning, the asphalt and concrete mixing plant is set on the
flat ground which is close to the right exit of the Basiqing tunnel. This site is far from the
downtown area, and is convinient for transportation.

2.4.2

Construction material planning

According to the feasibility report of the project, the sand and aggregate rock used in the
project will make full use of local materials. The distribution of the primary choice result
are listed as follows.
(1) Sand materials fields
The sand materials which used for slope protection mainly come from sand of the flood
plain and the first- and second- grade terrace near the river. The main fields include
Jinjiang ~Chumuchang, Sanduizi, Outlet of the Yalong River, Lanyuanzi, Midi, Makan,
Bingcaogang, outlet of Ren Stream, shenli village, Baoding ore, Huashan ore, outlet of
Baguan river and Geliping.
The materials used for building are medium and coarse sand which come from mouth of
Bala River, Shaba, Lanyuanzi, Renhe and Baguan River.
(2) Stone material fields
The materials used for slop protection can adopt the mixture of pebble and flaky stone. The

extract area for flaky stone distribute at Yutang township of Jinjiang town, Wudaohe stone

which 13.27 ha. are used for construction waste disposal.

2.6 Analysis of the project

2.6.1

Accordance analysis of the project with correlative plan

2.6.1.1 Accordance of the project with urban master plan

According to the Urban Master Plan for Panzhihua City(1997-2020(2015)), the goals for
the city development are: proper redistribution, multiplicity function, modernized facility,

clean and beautiful environment and legal management. Panzhihua City will be developed
into a modernized metropols at the end of 2010.
After the environment improvement project along the Jinsha River is completed, several
ecological green space and water-contact platforms will be bulit. That will effectively
beautify the city, improve the living condition and lift urban landscape. The construction
has important meaning for the control of soil erosion and the Yangtze River environment
protection. The construction for the last section of Bingren Road can increase the density
of urban traffic network, develop new urban area, extend urban developing space, promote
the adjustment of industrial structure, release the population pressure in urban centre,
improve the working and living environment, improve the ecological environment and
promote the coordinated development for economic, society and environment.
Therefore, the construction is in accordance with the master plan. It is the specific
execution for plan and has important meaning for the urbanization and modernization.
2.6.1.2 Accordance of the project with Road Network Plan of Panzhihua city
The Urban road system consists of express way, primary trunk road, secondary trunk road
and sideways. The urban centre will be the core of the road network where roads stretch
out along the south and north banks of the Jinsha River and the Renhe Stream where forms
a network. Roads in the urban area were designed and built according to the actual
landform. By 2020 the trunk road in urban centre will be 465km and the density of the
network will be 7.65km/km2. The ratio of the land used for road and city square will be
12.54%, the area of per capita land will be 11.58m2.
Road plan for urban area emphasize on the rebuilding of Bingren Line, Binjiang Road,
Yanze Road, Yanhong Road, Honglan Road, Bingqing Road, Taoshi Line ( from 06 bridge
to Geliping) and Panmi Line to adapt the development of the Bingcaogang III district, area
along the Jinsha River, Yanbian new town and Ertan landscape spot. The traffic road
planning will also serve for the Panzhihua Steal factory, mining bureau, and Panzhihua
mine factory. More investment will be used in rebuilding the Jinwu Road, Zonglong Line
and Dujin line which form a chain line to adapt the development of the Jinjiang industrial
developing district and to bring the future economic developing hotspot into the new traffic
network.
The project is a component of road traffic plan. The front section of Binjiang Road will
connect Jiangnansilu Roads with the constructed Binjiang Road to form a double way in
the downtown area. The last section of the Bingren Road is a extension of the front section.
This road will connect the future urban centre with the Renhe district. The construction of
the last section will strengthen the density of the urban road network and alleciate the
pressure which brought by the traffic in urban centre. It will also make positive effect on
developing the new urban. It is therefore that the road construction suit for the road traffic
plan.
2.6.1.3 Accordance with the Urban Drainage Plan
The sewage WWTPs will be built in Geliping, Taojiadu, Hemenkou-Qingxiangping,
Duren, Bingcaogang, Nongnongping, Panmi, Jinjiang and Renhe according to the drainage
plan. The scale of the Bingcaogang sewage WWTP which has already been constructed is
30 thousand m3/d while the Renhe sewage WWTP, which is under-construction, is 20
thousand m3/d.
The interceptor and trunk sewers of this project consists of the first and second level

interceptor and trunk sewers in Qingxiangping sewage WWTP, Wushisi~ Bingcaogang

interceptor and trunk sewers and some sub-trunk pipe. To suit for the interceptor and trunk
sewers construction, Qingxiangping sewage WWTP is planned to be constructed at the
same time (details see Appendix 5).
It is obviously that the interceptor and trunk sewers construction is in accordance with the
Urban Drainage Plan.

2.6.2

Rationality analysis of the project

2.6.2.1 Rationality analysis of incline retaining wall

The incline retaining wall is a special riverbank slope protection type, designed for the
waste slags disposal field along the Jinsha River. In the feasibility report of the project,
different methods had been compared for different slags fields.
(1) West slag field of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group
The West Slag Field of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group which formed from 1970 to 1993
by slags spoiling is more than 100m high and more than 1km long, the land occupation of
which is more than 40ha. The quantity is nearly 40,000,000 t. The slags contain the
vanadium and titanium which can be extracted and refined. Because of the restriction by
economic and technical level, there is no large-scale integrated exploitation for the waste.
To reduce the environment impact, the methods which can be chosen are blocking with
retaining wall or moving to other place that is far from the river. Details of advantages and
disadvantages of different schemes are listed in Table 2-12.

It can be seen from Table 2-12, every scheme has its advantages and disadvantages
respectively. The scheme 3 may thoroughly solve the metallurgy slags problem. But
because of the restriction of topographical condition, it is difficult to find field location
with long time limit and high expense. To transport the slags by 8t truck, it will cost 13
years and RMB 40 million Yuan. The scheme 2 is more effective than scheme 1 but use
more funds. Because the slags have formed stable slope, scheme 1 just need to maintain
the surface with simple craft, short time limit and little expense. Therefore, scheme 1 is
more economic proper than scheme 2.
It can be concluded from the above analysis that scheme 1 is better than scheme 2 and 3 in
the view of environment protection and resource utilize. The slope protection type is
therefore rational.
2) Slag field of Panzhihua Coal Group
The slag field of Panzhihua Coal Group is more than 200m long and more than 20m high,
the land occupation of which is more than 5,000m 2 and more than 0.3 million tons slags
have piled up. There is no protective measure on the field. Incline retaining wall is planned
to used for protecting the slope of this slag field.
The scheme can effectively avoid slags collapsing and soil erosion. The craft is simple and
the expense is low. It is rational from the environmental protection angle.
3) Waste disposal field of Panzhihua Cold-rolled Factory
The spoil ground of Panzhihua Cold-rolled Factory is at The Jinsha River bank of
Shijiaping, with more than 1 million tons solid waste piled up and no protective measure
taken. The waste disposal area lies on the west of Shijiaping, which is the piling field for
solid waste from the cold-rolled factory. In the developing period in 2001, the area of the
ground is restricted, and it formed mix-waste disposal area. The quantity of the slags is
more than 1 million ton in the field with no protect measure. The slags protection slope has
simple craft, short time limit and little negative impact. The scheme is rational.
2.6.2.2 Rationality analysis of the material fields
(1) Sand materials fields
The Jinsha River is a multi-sands river. It is easy to use and transport local materials. The
proper quantities of sand pitting will not impact riverbed alteration. The sand quarry may
locates on the spots as above and should according to the procedure. The environmental
protection and soil erosion prevention measures should be taken.
(2) Stone material fields
The Panzhihua City has plenty of stone material which is easy to exploit. Most of the
exploitation spots are naked stone area. The exploitation may impact the surrounding
environment. The environmental protection and soil erosion prevention measure should be
taken.
(3) Backfilling field
Coal gangue in Baoding, furnace slag and steel slag in Panzhihua steel factory will be used
for backfilling materials. This can reduce soil erosion and avoid negative impact. In the
view of environment protection and water and soil conservation, this desin is rational. But
to reduce the negative impact, environment protection measures should still be taken

during construction.
2.6.2.3 Rationality analysis of construction waste disposal fields
There planned nine dregs disposal fields in the project region. Two of them make use of the
local constructional dumping fields. It can reduce tempoarily land occupation. The capacity
of the these construtional dumping fields can completely satisfy the request of the
riverbank environment improvement project.
Other dregs disposal fields are planned close to the road. It avoids destroy to plant and soil
caused by the construction pavement, and then reduces the impact of the soil erosion.
Some dregs disposal fields can be used to arrange construction factories. It has positive
effect on environmental protection. The capacity of the planned dregs disposal fields fulfill
the request of the construction and is rational in the view of environment protection.

2.6.3

Analysis for main impact sources in construction phase

2.6.3.1 Waste water

The sewage of the construction operators will direct into the system of urban sewage
treatment. The majority part of waste water comes from production. Because of the
project's location, the mechanical repair and automobile maintenance will be depended on
relative factories in Panzhihua City. The waste water containing oil will be treated by the
waste water treatment system. The project adopts natural sand and stone materials that do
not need to wash. The block stone and peddle which used for masonry do not need wash
either. The main waste water source comes from washing water of concrete mixing system
(about 15m3/d). The waste water discharges intermittently. The main pollutant is SS which
will impact the surface water of the project region.
2.6.3.2 Waste gas
The main waste gas sources come construction mechanical fuel, open-air demolition,
excavation, dregs piling, and concrete and asphalt mixing. The excavation, dregs piling,
transportation and asphalt mixing are the main path for pollution. The dust and asphalt
smoke will impact the air environment.
2.6.3.3 Noise
The noise sources are mainly from excavation, drilling, demolition, machinery movement
and transportation. By construction analogical analysis, the noise source which needed to
control are the pushdozer, excavator, bulldozer and concrete equipment. The noise levels
are all above 80dB.
The acoustical environment is impacted by the machinery movement and transportation.
2.6.3.4 Transportation
The riverside environment improvement project and last section of Bingren Road locate on
the urban area and suburb, the transportation pressure will be increased by construction
vehicles. The traffic condition will be deteriorative and that will also impact the road
facility. The majority impacted roads are Binjiang, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, last section of
Bingren Road , west line of Duren and airport road.
2.6.3.5 Excavation
The excavation of the project consists of the foundation and side slope excavation of the

protection slope, interceptor and trunk sewers excavation, last section of Bingren Road
tunnel and road foundation excavation. That may cause partial ecological environmental
destruction, such as destroy plant, affect wild animal and landscape etc.
2.6.3.6 Solid waste
The solid waste includes construction dregs and living trash from the construction
operators.
The total quantity of dregs is 775,500 m 3. Nine construction waste disposal fields are
planned, two of them are local building trash fields. Inappropriate treatment will cause new
soil erosion and affect local environment.
One worker will produce about 1 kg living trash in a day. Taken bulk density of living trash
as 0.8t/m3, the total quantity of living trash produced in the construction period will be
2281.3m3, which is nearly 2% of the treatment ability of Panzhihua City. Thus, the
disadvantagous impact of living trash is little.
2.6.3.7 Land occupation by construction
The area of permanent land occupation is 37.23 ha. and the temporarily land occupation is
21.27 ha.
The land occupation may reduce the area of vegetation coverage and will cause new soil
erosion.
2.6.3.8 Social environment
The construction may affect the inhabitants nearby. The land requisition and clearance may
affect some inhabitants and enterprises.

2.6.4

Impact sources in operation phase

2.6.4.1 Riverbank slope protection

The riverbank slope protection project may positively affects the water quality of the
Jinsha River, soil erosion the Jinsha River Watershed, Panzhihua ecological environment,
city landscape and living environment.
2.6.4.2 Roads
After completing the construction of the upper section of Binjiang Road and last section of
Bing-Rren road. The air waste, noise and solid waste of the vehicles have disadvantage
effect to the environment. But the operation of the road can release the urban traffic
pressure and improve traffic condition. The operation of the last section of Bingren Road
can lift the safety degree of Bingcaogang III district and Airport Road. It may has positive
effect to extend urban space, promote urbanization, adjust industrial structure and collect
money for paying back loan.
2.6.4.3 Scenery project
It has positive effect to beatify urban environment and improve living environment,
furnishing fine basic environment for the traveling and servicing development .
2.6.4.4 Interceptor and trunk sewers
The interceptor and trunk sewers construction and subsidiary sewage WWTP have
profound significance to the protection of water quality of the Jinsha River.

will destroy surface vegetation, produce soil
erosion, temporarily strengthen traffic pressure
and destroy landscape in construction area;
(2) Occupy some land and change the use
permanently; noise and air contamination
produced during operation phase of roads will
pollute environment adjacent to the road.

Scheme two
Maintain living status of affected
residents and land use along the line
at present, and avoid adverse
impacts during the construction and
operation phase of scheme one.

(1) The Jinsha River section of

Panzhihua city has been polluted
seriously, threatening city water
plant;
unreasonable
industry
structure, tensional land use and
crowding traffic have restricted
traffic safety and city development
in some degree;
(2) Do not accord with the master
plan.

It is shown in Table 3-1 that scheme one will has some adverse environmental impact
during construcion and operation phases. But these impacts are limited no matter what in
space or time, which can be removed or mitigated to a great extent by taking various
measures. In a long run, the project can change the traffic condition of Panzhihua City,
improve living and water environment and advance sustainable development of the City.
Furthmore, the project accords with pulic desire. Therfore, the proposed project is
reasonable.

3.2 Local route comparison

3.2.1

Last section of Bingren Road

3.2.1.1 Tunnel
(1) Recommended scheme

Tunnel Line A: maximum vertical gradient is 1.43%, and minimum vertical gradient is
0.4998%;
Tunnel Line B: maximum vertical gradient is 1.5%, and minimum vertical gradient is
0.5%. At the portion outside of tunnel the max. vertical gradient is 5.1%, min. vertical
gradient is 0.21%.
(2) Comparison scheme
Tunnel Line A: maximum vertical gradient is 1.43%, and minimumn vertical gradient is
0.4998%;
Tunnel Line B: maximum vertical gradient is 1.5%, and minimum vertical gradient is
0.5%. At the portion outside of the tunnel, maximum vertical gradient is 5.0%, and
minimum vertical gradient is 0.943%.
(3) Scheme comparison
In recommended scheme the total earth-rock amount is 1,250,000 m3, while in comparison
scheme the amount is 1,740,000 m3. 490,000 m3 of earth-rock amount will be saved if
recommended scheme is adopted, and soil erosion amount will be smaller. In
recommended scheme designed ground line is closer to the original ground surface. This is
helpful for the economic development along the road. Therefore, the recommended scheme
is more reasonable.
3.2.1.2 Road cross section form
(1) Comparison form
Standarded cross section form: one plate, 16m fast lane + 2 3.5 m greenbelt + 2 6.0 m
sidewalk = 35 m total width. The advantage is that both greenbelts and sidewalks are wide,
favoring the development of land along the road and appreciation of the land. The
Shortcoming is that there is no central segregation belt in the fast lane, which is
unfavorable for the safe and rapid passage of vehicles.
Its not rational to adopt same section for the entire line. In some section where land
development is hard to be conducted, for instance high backfilling and deep excavation
areas, there is few flow of people, and its not necessary to fit sidewalk of 6.0 m wide.
(2) Recommended form
Two cross section patterns may be adopted.
Cross section pattern 1: two plates, 28.0 m fast lane + 5.0 m central greenbelt + 22.0 m
side greenbelt + 25.0 m sidewalk = 35 m total width. This cross section pattern may be
adopted where the development of land along the road is intensified, and there is heavy
flow of people. It is favorable for the economic development along the road.
Cross section pattern 2: Two plates, 28.0 m fast lane + 5 m central greenbelt+22.0 m
side greenbelt + 21.5 m sidewalk = 28 m total width. This cross section pattern may be
adopted where there is less intensified development and little flow of people, or where high
backfilling and deep excavation are conducted or there is geological hazard. It can save
cost for the project.
(3) Scheme comparison
Greenbelt is used at the center of cross section to separate the two plate of the fast lane in

the recommended form. This is favorable for the rapid and safe passage of vehicle, while
the afforestation effect is better. At the road junction the greenbelt is stopped to ensure the
smoothness of junction. Meanwhile different cross section patterns are combined, and are
selected according to the actual situation to save the construction quantity and cost.
It can be concluded from the above comprehensive comparison that the road cross section
structure of two plats should be recommended.
3.2.1.3 Tunnel connection section
(1) Standarded cross section pattern
Road breadth is 21 m, one plate.
(2) Comparison cross section pattern
Road breadth is 15m, one plate.
(3) Scheme comparison
The connection section is located between Dusongshu (solitary pine) Ridge Tunnel and
Basijing Tunnel. The two sections are both 200 meters in length with less intensified land
development and little flow of people. The 3.5 m greenbelt and sidewalk can satisfy the
demand. In this section the topography is waving, If the comparison cross section is
adopted, the construction quantities for backfilling and excavation can be saved. Therefore
cost can also be saved. Comparison plan is recommended as a result.
3.2.1.4 Bridge engineering on last section of Bingren Road
The cross section of last section of Bingren Road (from K9+865~K10+075, K10+135~
K10+285) is of small radius (R=120m), and the elevation difference between the designed
route and current ground line is large. The longitudinal cross section is of W type because
of two adjacent valleys.
In order to realize the smooth connection of this road section, high road embankment or
bridge methods could be adopted. Slope collapse is easy to take place at the high backfilled
and excavated section. If high backfilling is needed, then special attention shall be paid to
prevent the local collapse. And high side slope treatment is needed by the road side, where
retaining wall or other engineering measures shall be made or taken. Such scheme will
result in large quantities of backfilling and excavation. Meanwhile as this road section is at
the valley, if flood or debris flow occurs, large quantity of water, sand and gravel shall rush
to the road embankment, a small pond may be formed by the road side even if culverts are
fitted because they may not provide adequate discharging capacity. The small pond will
seriously endanger the road embankment. If bridge is planned for connecting the two
valleys, hazards mentioned above can be effectively avoided. The hurdle effect of bridge
pier is far smaller than high road embankment. And bridge building does not need a lot of
backfilling and excavation, hence reduces the cost, and imposes little damage to the current
topography, as well as avoids the collapses. So its appropriate to set up bridge here.

3.2.2

Upper section of Binjiang Road

3.2.2.1 Cross section form

(1) Standard cross section form
The breadth of road is 25 m, one plate, fast lane is 16 m in width and side greenbelt +

sidewalk is 24.5 m; the bridge breadth is 19 m, one plate, fast lane is 16 m, and sidewalk
is 21.5 m.
Advantages: the cross section here is identical to that of the Binjiang Avenue. It is
favorable for the smooth connection of road.
Shortcomings: there is no hard segregation for the opposite direction of traffic. Its
unfavorable for the rapid and safe passage of vehicle.
(2) Comparison of cross section form
The breadth of road is 25 m, two plate, the fast lane is 15m, central greenbelt is 2m and
side greenbelt + side walk is 24.5 m. The breadth of road on the bridge is 19 m, one plate,
the fast lane is 16m, and sidewalk is 2 1.5 m.
Advantages: a central green and segregation belt is set, which is favorable for the rapid
passage of vehicle, and the afforestation effect is good.
Shortcomings: the cross section is different from that of the upper section of Binjiang
Road. This is not very good for the connection of two sections.
(3) Scheme comparsion
In consideration of the smooth connection with the constructed road and large elevation
difference along the line, the standard cross section is adopted because large amount of
backfilling or excavation can be adjusted with restriction of greenbelt and sidewalk at this
section.
3.2.2.2 Road surface design plan
(1) Comparison scheme
Cement concrete road surface is planned.
The cement concrete road surface is of long service life, the resistance capability is
outstanding, it takes little maintenance and repair in the early stage, and it impose little
impact to the urban environment. However the defects are that it demands that the ground
pipelines shall be in place once for all, the maintenance and repair for road surface crack
and damage is complicated, while the repair period is long, it is also of little adaptivity to
the vertical sinking and deformation resulted from the uneven sinking of soft earth
roadbed, which may lead to plate breakage and damage in drought period. Besides, there
are many seams on the cement concrete road surface plate, resulting in reduced comfort for
traffic.
(2) Recommended scheme
Asphalt concrete road surface is planned.
Asphalt concrete road surface is of rapid pavement, convenient construction, comfortable
traffic, little traffic noise. And the local excavation and repair are very convenient, and it is
favorable for ground pipeline construction after the road is built. The defects are that the
organic material in the asphalt concrete may result in the pollution of water in the
peripheral areas and cultivation soil in the fields during rain and hot seasons.
In order to create an advantageous urban working and living condition, and maintain an
outstanding urban ecological environment, asphalt concrete road surface is recommended.
3.2.2.3 Bridge project of the upper section of Binjiang Road

The elevation difference between the designed road surface and river bank from the Dukou
Bridge to Dukou Suspension Bridge at upper section of Binjiang Road is large, and this
section is of the unique terrain and topographical condition of mountainous area. In order
to realize the smooth connection of this road section, two schemed are planned. One of
them is to use high road embankment plan, another is crossover with bridge. The two
schems have their own characteristics, and the comparison of advantages and defects are as
follows:
Comparison of high road embankment and bridge

In general, on upper section of Binjiang Road the bridge plan has obvious advantage over
high embankment plan, and can reserve larger space for the scenery design of this section.
Therefore the bridge to be built here is a rational and best option.

3.2.3

Interceptor and trunk sewers scheme comparison

(1) Scheme one: several interceptor and trunk sewers

According to the master plan, nine sewage WWTPs including Geliping, Taojiadu,

Hemenkou-Qingxiangping, Duren, Bingcaogang, Nongnongping, Panmi, Jinjiang and

Renhe will be constructed in the urban area of Panzhihua City. Bingcaogang sewage
WWTP has been built and in operation, and Renhe sewage WWTP is under construction.
According to the master plan, interceptor and trunk sewers should be matched with the
built or non-built sewage WWTP. In initial stage of project feasibility research, in
consideration of the early formulation of the master plan, theres difference between
present situation of Panzhihua city and the plan, and most sewage WWTPs havnt been
built, the scale, quantities and location of sewage WWTPs have been argumented again.
Based on present situation of Panzhihua city and other relative conditions, the scheme of
six sewers including Qingxiangping, Taojiadu, Bingcaogang, Xiaoshaba, Makan and
Jinjiang interceptor and trunk sewers had been confirmed, following the principle of
building plant in different districts.
(2) Scheme two: two interceptor and trunk sewers
In later stage of project feasibility research, considering the economic situation of
Panzhihua city and the impact on water environment by centralized discharging before
sewage WWTP being built, the scheme of two sewers including first and second classes
trunk sewers and a part of branch sewers of Qingxiangping sewage WWTP and Wushisi
Bingcaogang interceptor and trunk sewers had been confirmed. The two interceptor and
trunk sewers will respectively collect living sewage of Qingxiangping District and Wushisi
Bingcaogang District for disposal at Qingxiangping and Bingcaogang sewage WWTP.
The Qingxiangping sewage WWTP is promised to construct in the near future by
Panzhihua city government.
(3) Scheme comparison
In the long term of planning, after construction of the six sewage WWTPs of scheme one,
living sewage of each district will be collected and transported by the interceptor and trunk
sewers, and discharge after disposal. It can avoid the effect of dispersed living sewage
discharges on the water quality of intake spot. This has positive impact on protecting water
quality of water intake spot, the Jinsha River and the Yangtse River. Restricted by
economic condition, sewage WWTP should be built in installments, and most WWTPs and
interceptor and trunk sewers cant be in operation simultaneously. Therefore, before the
construction of WWTPs, sewage will be collected by interceptor and trunk sewers and
discharge integratedly without disposal, form a pollution belt, and pollute the Jinsha River.
On the other hand, Bingcaogang sewage WWTP has been in operation. Qingxiangping
sewage WWTP is the project that the municipal government promised to construct. The
plant and its interceptor and trunk sewers will be constructed and operated synchronously.
Thus it can be seen that if the scheme of two interceptor and trunk sewers is adopted, the
impact on water environment brought by unreasoning construction of interceptor and trunk
sewers will be avoided, and water quality of the Jinsha River will be protected. Furthmore,
the scheme accords with present economic situation of Panzhihua City. Therefore, scheme
two is reasonable and feasible.

4 Present Status of the Environment

4.1 Natural environment status
4.1.1 Geographical position
Panzhihua City, where the Jinsha River and he Yalong River intersect, lies in the southwest
of Sichuan Province, borders Yunnan Province. The geographical coordinates are 2605 to
2721 of North Latitude and 10108 to 10215 of East Longitude, closing to Huili
County of Liangshan Automonous Prefecture in the east, and connects with Yongren
County of Yunnan Province in the south, bounds with Huaping County of Yunnan Province
in the west, bordering Dechang County and Yanyuan County of Liangshan Automonous
Prefecture in the north. The distance from Panzhihua north to Chengdu is 749 km, and
south to Kunming 351km.

4.1.2 Topography and geomorphology

Panzhihua city is located in the valley of the Jinsha River which connects with the Daliang
Mountain in the north and bounds with Yugui plateau. In terms of region, it is part of the
south section in Transection mountain chain. In terms of geological structure, it is located
on the west fringe of Yangtze platform, north section of the Kangdian platform. Under the
strong action of tectonic movement of Yanshan Period, the plateau geomorphology forms.
The plateau gorge geomorphology in southwest of Sichuan and northwest of Yunnan was
formed in the Pliocene Epoch before the Fourth Glacer Period. There are multistage
platform, lower hill, valley, accumulation zone and alluviation fan on both banks of the
river. The topography is complicated.
The geomorphology of the region is belonging to southwest mountainous area of Sichuan.
The mountains, hills and valleys are crisscross and the trend towards north to south. The
terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The river vally is deep slotting, the
terrain is rugged and the elevation difference exists largely. The northeast mountain ridges
are mainly with the attitude of more than 3000m, with the maximum altitude being
4195.5m in Chuandongzi of Bailing Mountain. The southeast mountain ridges have the
attitude of nearly 2000m, where the lowest part is the Shi village of Renhe district with the
altitude of 937m. The Jinsha River passes through the urban district from west to east,
confluences with the the Yalong River near the Luoguo and flows toward the south.

4.1.3 Geology and mineral resources

Panzhihua region is located in the core area of the composite part, which is composed of
Sichuan-Yunnan south-north structural system and the middle section of the Yunnan -Tibet
structure system. The structural system trend is mainly north-south, also has east-west,
north-east, northwest and forest-snake tectonic zone. The structure is complex. The fold
and fracture are well development with long term magma activity. The geological structure
of Panzhihua city is obviously characterized by three structural layers, which are Jinning
Period geosyncline, platform from the Sinian Period to the Palaeozoic Era and Mesozoic
Era sunken. Under the strong action of tectonic movement of Yanshan Period, Himalayas
Period and modern Period, the earths crust of Panzhihua lifts constantly, and forms the
plateau gorge physiognomy in southwest of Sichuan and northwest of Yunnan. The
topography is perplexing. Because the structural system is complex, it deeply affects the
forming of the topographical configuration and local geological situation.

In Earthquake Risk Zoning Map and Seismic Intensity Zoning Map (1/50) (1973~2072)
drawn by Southwest Earthquake Intensity Team of State Bureau of Seismology, the
earthquake intensity in Panzhihua urban area is defined as degree .
The banks of the main and tributaries are alluvial in the Quaternary. There are copper and
red iron ore in the rock stratum of Yanbian County. The coal reserves are abundant in the
rock stratum of Jura and Triassic Period in Renhe and Miyi. The Basalt area has limonite,
copper mine, and a lot of Vanadium-Titanium magnetic iron mine which contained in the
gabbro of Permian. Because of the plate drifting and geological function, the Panxi rift
valley, which is full of mineral resources is formed during HercynianIndo-Chinese epoch.
The rift valley is 300km long and 100km wide. The Panzhihua City lies on the south-center
of the rift valley and is reputaed to be the treasure vase. There are over 35 kinds of
verified mineral reserves, especially famous for the Vanadium-Titanium magnetic iron
mine. The coking coal and power coal reserves 1,200,000,000 t, limestone reserves
300,000,000 t, dolomite 80,000,000 t, fixed carbon of crysrallord graphite ore reserves
25,000,000 t, granite reserves 30,000,000 m3
According to the project site investigation, the tolerable mineral resource has not been
found in the project scope.

4.1.4 River system

There are numerous rivers in Panzhihua city and all of the rivers belong to the Jinsha River
and the Yalong river system. There are seven rivers whose drainage area is bigger than 500
km2. Besides the Jinsha River and the Yalong River, there are Dahe, Xinzhuang, Anning,
Ganyu and Yongxin River, The first two is the branch the Jinsha River and the last three
rivers are the branches of the Yalong River. There are 26 Rivers whose drainage area is
between 100500km2, 18 rivers for 50100km2. There are 45 first class branches of the
Jinsha River and the Yalong River, whose drainage area is between 5 50km2. The
drainage area of the Jinsha River in Panzhihua City is 2370.1km 2 which comes from
Yunan and go back to Yunan along the direction of east-west-south. The drainage area of
the main branches of the Jinsha River in Panzhihua city is 662km 2. The drainage area of
Xinzhuang River is the smallest with 35km 2. The Yalong River which comes from
Liangshan Automonous Prefecture flows into the Jinsha River at Luoguo, Yinjiang Town.
The drainage area of the Yalong River is 5064.3 km 2. The Anning River, the main branch
of the Yalong River, pass through the Miyi County from northeast to west with the area of
1651.6km2. The drainage area of Sanyuan River comes from northwest to the east.
The width of the river in the proposed project section is 100~300m. The averaged slope is
0.6 and the long term average flow is 1690m3/s.

4.2 Ecological environment status

4.2.1 Meteorology
The climate of Panzhihua City belongs to the dry and hot valley climate district of South
subtropical zone. Affected by atmospheric circulation and topographical factor, the
comparatively unique climate with island stereo style is formed, taking south subtropical
zone as the basic zone. Because of the difference in position, trend and cutting depth
among various river valleies, additionally the disparity of elevation (937m ~ 4195.5m), it
presents various combinations of heat condition from the south subtropical zone to north
warm zone. The Panzhihua urban district distributes along the Jinsha River in a kind of
group structure like string of beads. The region locates on the center of the climatic region

of the Jinsha River valley. The hot and dry climate is special in our country.
4.2.1.1 Sunshine and solar radiation
Panzhihua City is abundant in sunshine, with 2745.2 sunshine hours annually. The
sunshine hours in winter are more than summer. The averaged sunshine hours in summer
are 5.46.5h/d, 5.98.2h/d in winter. Sunshine hours are the most in March with 285.7
hours and least in September with 181.5 hours. The dayly sunlight ratio in a year is 62%.
The solar radiation energy is high in Panzhihua. The direct radiation has the most part in
total. The annual radition in Panzhihua is 150.4k calorie /(cm 2a) which is the highest in
Sichuan Province. Its distribution in seasons is 29%~32% in spring, 22%~24% in summer,
21%~24% in autumn and 23%~25% in winter.
4.2.1.2 Temperature
Panzhihua is rich of heat. The temperature is high in winter and low in summer. The
temperature diference is large in one day but small in the whole year. The annual average
temperature in valley is 20~22, the extremely lowest temperature is 10~16, the
extremely highest temperature is 20.5~25.2. The yearly temperature difference is
14.5, and daily difference is 14.2.The year extreme lowest temperature which is more
than 0 appears with the frequency of 70%. The annual highest temperature is 40.4.
The accumulated temperature for more than 10 is 7400 7700 and 8000 in the
Jinsha River valley where under 1100m attitude. The difference between flood and dry
season is more obvious than the difference between the four seasons.
4.2.1.3 Precipitation
The annual range of the precipitation of Panzhihua City is relatively great and the
precipitation distributes unevenly within a year. The difference between dry and wet season
is obvious, and the evaporation capacity is great. The climate is comparatively dry in the
whole year. The long term mean annual rainfall is 760 mm, with 138.2 mm monthly
averaged rainfall (from June to October) and 16.94 mm monthly averaged rainfall (from
November to May). The mean annual evaporation capacity is 2438.6 mm, with 182.2 mm
monthly mean evaporation capacity in monsoon and 217.5 mm monthly mean evaporation
capacity in the dry season. The annual average relative humidity is 61% and the index of
aridity is 1.64.
4.2.1.4 Wind orientation
The effect of the terrain redistribution is obvious and the microclimate is extremely
complex. The climate is not only influenced by the elevation, but also different with
region. Because of the broken terrain and difference in slope and valley trend, it often
causes the local climate difference, and orographic rainfall, orographic wind and
temperature inversion are common. Take the wind direction happened frequently as an
example, the wind direction is W in Nongnongping but ESE in 501 Power Plant, which is
just 4km away from eachother. The wind direction is SSE in Renhe and ESE in
Bingcaogang, which is also close to each other.
4.2.1.5 Summary
In summary, the biggest climatic superiority in Panzhihua is the long sunshine, high
temperature and heat abundance which suits for many species to multiply. Under such
climatic conditions, the plant grows quickly, the production is high, blossoms early and the
flowers are bright-colored. It provides a great deal of species resources for the urban
greening. But the biggest restrict factor is the non-synchronization of heat and flood, which

increases the irrigation quantity and management work in dry season. The seedling,
springwood and plants backing south wall may easily get sunscald in hot season. The
winter is warm in day and cold at night, occasionally have low temperature. So it must be
cautious when introduce the typical tropical plants.

4.2.2 Soil
According to the soil general survey in 1987, Panzhihua has 11 soil types, 17 subgroups,
32 soil genus and 96 species. The local soil types locating from low to high attitude are dry
red soil, red soil, mountainous red soil, mountainous yellow soil, mountainous brown soil,
mountainous dark brown soil and subalpine meadow soil. The regional soil in the valley
area and its adjacent (below 2200m ) is mainly dry red soil, maroon soil and mountainous
red soil. The local soil is red lime soil and purple soil.

4.2.3 The status for soil erosion

4.2.3.1 Soil erosion status
The soil erosion type is mainly sheet erosion and gully ersion, accompanied with
gravititional erosion, such as partial landslide, debris flow. The sheet erosion concentrates
on the slope farmland and exposed base slope. The gully ersion occurs in the valleies with
the shape of U and V. The landslide debris flow occurs every year with several ten
thousands to hundred thousands cubic metre of sliding earth.
The most serious soil erosion takes place along the Jinsha River. The banks of the Yalong
River and Anning River are secondary. According to the satellite remote sensing
investigation in 1999, the area of soil erosion in the whole city is 4247.61km 2 which
accounts 57.13% for total. The annual soil erosion quantity is 13,219,000 t (not includes
enterprise slag waste and river sediment), the average erosion modulus is 3112 t/ (km2a).
The quantity of solid waste is nearly 7,000,000 t for the enterprises in the city.
4.2.3.2 The genetic analysis for soil erosion
According to the analysis, the natural factor is the latent condition of the soil erosion and
human factor is the leader factor.
(1) Natural factor
The natural factor includes climatic, topographic, soil and vegetation factors.
1) Climatic Factor
The climatic factors which influence soil erosion are rainfall, temperature and wet-dry
degree, but mainly rainfall. The heavy rain and rainstorm are extremely easy to cause the
mountain torrent eruption. The city locates on the dry and hot valley with dry chippy earth
which is easily stripped.
2) Topographic factor
The landform in Panzhihua is mainly mountain and valley. Most of the slope are more than
25 degree.The gravity erosion is active. The more precipitous the slope is, the stronger the
scouring is. The heavy rain takes the earth away, and also brings a lot of rocks and sand.
3) Soil factor
The erosion resistance of the soil is the main factor which influences soil erosion. The
ability for anti- scouring is related to the earth matrix. The Panzhihua geologic structure is

complex which has disparate elevation. The soil which formed on such landform is also
various. The soil types distribute as vertical zone.
4) Vegetation factor
The higher the surface vegetation cover rate is, the stronger the moisture content ability is.
The interception by branches and leaves and fixation by roots reduce the surface runoff;
strengthen the soils anti-erosion ability. The vegetation coverage is negatively correlated
to the soil erosion. The afforestation cover rate of Panzhihua is 38.12% in urban centre and
50.04% forest cover rate. But there is no vegetation covered in local areas, such as the
excavating surface, waste dumping and open-air mine. The soil erosion is extremely
serious in such areas.
(2) Human factor
The natural factor provided the objective condition for the soil erosion. But the main
reason which causes the soil erosion is the human activity (such as cultivating on slope,
overcutting, developing, construction etc.). Such activities destroy the nature protection
function and accelerate soil erosion. The overcutting and constructing activities may cause
serious soil erosion. Therefore irrational social activity is the determining factor.

4.2.4 Biodiversity
4.2.4.1 Terraneous animal
The wild animal species in the mountainous area away from urban area of the city are rich
within the boundaries of Panzhihua, including amphibious, reptiles, birds and animals,
which are more than 400 types. According to the project site investigation, there is no rare
and precious terraneous animal in the assessment range. Some common wild animals can
only be found in the forest far away from the urban.
4.2.4.2 Vegetation
The zonal vegetation in Panzhihua is evergreen broad-leafed forest. By the effect of Indian
Ocean monsoon weather, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, the difference between
dry and wet season is obvious. The vegetation type and appearance present the basic
characteristic of dry evergreen broad-leaved forest in subtropical zone. Because of the
stereo climate function, the vegetative vertical spectrum is obvious.There are more than
2300 kinds of plant within the boundaries of Panzhihua, which is 1500 kinds for Xylophtta,
account for 66%, 700 kinds for Herbage, account for 31%70 kinds for Liane, account for
3%.The natural vegetation in Panzhihua consists of coniferous forest, broad-leaved forest,
shrub, grass shrub, sparse shrub. The number of main community is 48. There are two
kinds cultivated vegetations mainly, which are herb and Xylophtta. There are 5 types, 13
combinations or sub-types. Most of the main cultivated groups have distribution in
Panzhihua City.
The bush is the main vegetation in the assessment range. Its coverage rate is 12.2%.
According to the project site investigation, the land types of river banks from Xinzhuang
Bridge to Jinjiang are mainly shrubland, secondary are industrial, traffic, business and
house land and naked rock bottomland. The land along the last section of Bingren Road is
mainly farmland and shrub land. There is no rare and precious vegetation in the project
region.

4.2.4.3 Fish resource

According to project site investigation, information seeking, and the relating aquatic life
survey result of the Jinsha River, the Panzhihua section of the Jinsha River is valley-type
river. There is no large quantity of plankton, benthos, aquatic vascular plant, and the
species and quantity of fish is relatively little. Carp is the main fish order. Most of the
fishes are small-sized benthoal fish and has no big value. The main economic fish includes
Carassius a. auratus, Rhinogobio ventralis, Semilabeo prochilus, P. vachelli. The
provincial protect fish are Percocypris pingi.pingi, Schizothorax chongi Procypris
rabaudi.The unique fishes in upperstream of Yangtze River is Garra p. pingi, Coreius
guichenoti, Leptobotia elongata, Procypris rabaudi, S. (R.) kozlovi. According to the
historical record, there has been Myxocyprinus asiaticus in Panzhihua section of the Jinsha
River, which belongs to the Class national protection fish. But according to project site
enquiry and information seeking, it hasnt been graspped since 1981.
According to project site investigation, information seeking, and the relating aquatic life
survey result of the Jinsha River, there is no known food-seeking ground, spawning ground
and wintering ground for precious fishes.

The topographical condition in Panzhihua and insufficient urban using land has restricted
the urban development. New space should be developed for city.

4.3.4 Water resources utilization

The quantity of water resources within the boundaries of Panzhihua city is about 114.421
billion m3, of which 4.218 billion m3 is internal produced. The averaged annual runoff
depth is 568.2 mm, and the precipitation of that is 1193.7mm. The quantity of the total
groundwater resources is 90 million m3, of which about 300 million m3 is exploitable. The
river network in Panzhihua developed well, but the river cuts deeply. The slope of the river
bed is large and the branchs are short. It is hard to build cross- valley diversion and storage
project except for the river valley. On the other hand, because of the large slope, big head,
abundant quantity and stable flow, it has the special character of developing little
hydropower station.
The theoretical reserve quantity of hydropower of Panzhihua is 4,929,000kW, with the
Yalong River valley 2,980,000kW, The Jinsha River valley 1,949,000 kW. The theoretical
hydropower reserve of the trunk stream of the Yalong River is 1,950,000 kW, and that of
the Jinsha River is 1,886,000 kW. The exploitable quantity is 4,101,000 kW, with the
Yalong River system 2,588,000kW and the Jinsha River system 1,513,000 kW. The sum of
the Yalong River and the Jinsha River is 3,928,000 kW (95.8% in all). The annual
exploitable generating capacity is 27 billion kWh, while the sum of the Yalong River and
the Jinsha River is 26.5 billion kWh (95.9% in all).
Ertan Hydropower station is a huge-sized station built on the trunk stream of the Yalong

River. The installed capacity of is 3,300,00kW and the generating capacity is 13.6 billion
kW.h in 2002. According to the statistics by the local water conservancy bureau, by the end
of 2002, the whole city has built 165 small-sized hydropower stations, 204 installed
generators.
According to the plan of the Jinsha River of Dukou~Yibin section, on the Dukou~Yibin
section where the proposed project lies in, four hydropower stations will be developed,
which are Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu and Xiangjiaba. Among these, Wudongde station
is a huge-sized hydropower station to be built 230 km downstream of Panzhihua.The
normal water level is 950m. The end of its backwater is located at 70 km downstream of
Panzhihua.

4.3.5 Human health

There are 139 medical establishments in the whole city, which has 5693 hospital beds and
5424 hygienic technical personnel. The number of hospital above county-level is 27 with
4756 beds and 4272 hygienic technical personnel.
The epidemic infectious diseases are hepatitis, dysentery, tuberculosis and flu. The
endemic diseases are idodine deficiency and leprosy.
At present, trash and rubbish is scattered in disorder along the river, and partial sewage
overflows, which affects hygienic condition and inhabitants health.

4.3.6 Traffic and communication

Panzhihua is the regional central city in the adjoining area of Sichuan and Yunnan. ChengKun Railroad, national Road 108, Provincial road 214, 216, 310 and Pan-Xi express way
go through the city. Chengdu and Kunming are reachable from the Panzhihua airport. In
2003, the annual volume of passenger tranport by highway was 19.89 million persons; the
volume of cargo tranport was 15.84 million tons. The volume of passenger tranport by
railway was 17.15 million persons; the volume of cargo tranport was 17.14 million tons.
The volume of passenger tranport by air was 6632 persons; the volume of cargo tranport
was 4.3 tons.
At present, the only way from Bincaogang to Renhe is the east-west line of Duren road
which passes through Dadukou. The traffic volume in 1998 was 2326 vehicle/day and
2799 vehicle/day in 2000. The road from the middle section of Bingren Road to the airport
has already completed. The first section of Bingren Road is the only way which connets
Bingcaogang III district and airport with Bingcaogang I and Bingcaogang II district.
In 2003, the telecommunications industry developed rapidly, the income of its main service
was RMB 534,000,000 Yuan, increasing 21.9% than that of 2002. The number of fixed
telephone subscribers was 249,300, increasing 17.6% than that of 2002. The number of
mobile phone subscribers was 396,000, increasing 31.2% than that of 2002. There are also
55,700 internet users.

4.3.7 Cultural relics and landscape

There are 3 provincial level protected cultural relic sites, Huilongwan cavern ruin, Hejiaba
ruin and mosque in Miyi County. There are also 3 city level protected cultural relics: the
former Panzhihua construction headquarter, Datian conference site in Datian town, and
No.13 Building in Dadukou. In additional, there are some cultural relics like ancient
graves, temporary palace and temple. Most of the relics have been destroyed from years of
human activites in the history. All these cultural relics sites are located in the out side of the

project impacted areas. The project site investigation shows there is no proected cultural
relic in the assessment range.

4.3.8 Natural protection area and tourist attraction

According to the project site investigation, there is no natural protection area in the
assessment range. Three sites, Jinshatan drift base, Ertan national forest park and
Panzhihua cycadales national protection area are relatively close but outside of the directly
project impacted areas as shown in Figure 1.
(1) Jinshatan International Drifting Trainning Centre
The base locates in the neighborhood of Jinshatan. It is the AA national level scenic site
which occupies 2.97ha. It is named as the first drift in the ten thousand kilometers of the
Yangtze River.
The base is located on the upstream of the riverbank environment improvement subproject
and does not in the assessment range.
(2) Ertan National Forest Park
The Park was authorized to establish by State Ministry of Forest in 1993. The total area is
732.4km2 with 63.4km2 water. The distance between park and the the Yalong River mouth
is 33km.
According to the project site investigation, the closest linear distance between the park and
the proposed project is about 10km.
(3) Panzhihua cycadales national protection area
The protection area locates on the right bank of Baguan River in Geliping town, which is
5km away from the proposed project. The protecting object is the national first level
protection wild plant, Panzhihua Cycadales. The dimension of the protection area is
1358ha. It has more than 230,000 Cycadales, which is the largest and most intensive plant
protection area in Asia. Besides Cycadales, it also has rich wild animal resource. Like
Sichuan Chinese francolin, pangolin and so on.

4.3.9 Water supply and drainage

4.3.9.1 Urban water supply
According to the statistical data in 2003, the synthetical water supply ability was 512,000
m3/d and 102,710,000 m3 for whole year. The production water is 49, 600,000 m3; domestic
water is 32,460,000 m3. There are 532,000 people who can access running water in urban
district, with the popularization ratio of 80.4%. The average per capita domestic water
quantity is 240 L/d.
The water supply comes from the Jinsha River mainly. According to project site
investigation and data collection, the water intake sites along the Jinsha River in the

4.3.9.2 Status for sewage discharging and treatment

In 2003, the total quantity of waste water is 63,970,000t (62,810,000 t in 2002), with the
industrial waste 26,830,000 t (41.9% in all) and living sewage 37,140,000t (58.1% in all).
The quantity for COD is 17650t (17313t in 2002). The discharge quantity of industrial
waste is 2175 t, increasing 3.5% than that of 2002. The COD in living sewage discharge
15475t in 2003, increasing 1.7% than that of 2002. There are 2304 t ammonia and nitrogen
discharged in waste water, which is 860 t in industrial waste and 1444 t in living sewage,
increasing 3.6% and 1.7% than that of 2002 respectively.
In 2003, the industrial waste discharge quantity that meet standard is 25,200,000t,
increasing 1.9% than that of 2002. The ratio of the discharge meeting standard is 93.94%
(impartial with 2002). Six industrial waste treatment projects were constructed in
Panzhihua in 2003, increasing the indurstrial waste treatment ability 41,250 t/d.
For the living sewage, two waster water treatment plants have been built. The Bingcaogang
sewage WWTP was put into use in 2003, with the design ablity of 30,000m3/d. At present,
Renhe sewage WWTP is at the testing stage and the design ablity is 20,000m3/d. The
current treatment ability of Bingcaogang sewage WWTP is 22,000m3/d due the imperfect
sewage system.
At present, the treatment rate for living sewage is low in Panzhihua, approximately
30%~40%. According to the master plan, the districts should establish independent sewage
system. Therefore, consummating sewage network and constructing sewage WWTP is
imperative under the situation.

4.3.10 Status of solid waste disposal

Panzhihua is a heavy industrial city with large quantity of solid waste. Based on the
statistical data, the quantity for industrial solid waste was 13,960,000 t, increasing 3.2%
than that of 2002. Most of them are disposed along the river, which form slag fields.
The amount of living trash of the city was 160,000t in 2003, increasing 23% than that of
2002. There is a garbage treatment plant built in Panzhihua, which has the 200t/d ability.
The garbage is disposed for no environmental pullution, accompanied with bury and burn.
The plant basically satisfies the urban requests except in rainy season for the trash contains
too much water.

4.4 Environment quality status

4.4.1 Water environment quality
4.4.1.1 Pollutant source and water environmental quality survey
At present, the waste water treatment ability can not satisfy the present situation. Most of
the living sewage directly discharges into the Jinsha River without treatment. The soil
erosion may also cause huge pollution in flood season. Panzhihua is a heavy industry city.
Most of the industrial enterprises distribute along the river and discharge production waste
water into the Jinsha River directly. More than 24,680,000 t waste water was discharged
directly into the Jinsha River in 2003, which is 92% of the whole industrial waste. In the
nineth-five-year and tenth-five-year plan period, the city spent much funds on the pollution
control, and the treatment ratio is reached to 93.94%. Because of the large scaled pollution
source and accident discharges, the water quality has been seriously polluted. In addition,
there are many slag fields along the river. For example, west slag field of Panzhihua steel
factory, Cold Rolling slag field and other fragmentary slag field. Such slag fields have not
effective protection facilities, and easily cause soil erosion and water pollution.
According to the project site investigation, the pollution sources of the Jinsha River from
Geliping to Xinzhuang Bridge are coal washing waste water, cold-rolling mill waste water
and power plant waste water. The pollution source of the Jinsha River from Xinzhuang
Bridge to Bingzao Bridge is waste water of Panzhihua Steel Factory and living sewage.
The pollution sources downstream of Bingzao Bridge are living sewage and a little mineral
separation water.
According to the monitoring data of the Jinsha River on the Panzhihua section, provided
by Panzhihua Environment Protection Bureau, the coliform in Longdong, hydrological
station, Luoguo, Jinjiang and the Yalong River cross-section exceeds the allowed standard.
The other fators meet Class water quality standard of Standard for Surface Water
Environment Quality'( GB 3838-2002 ). There are 10 factors not be detected for a whole
year, which are volatility phenol, petroleum, selenium, arsenic, six price chromium,
cyanide, the anionic surfactant medicinal preparation and sulfide and so on.
The area of drinking water sources is assessed according to the class standard. It is
showed that among 12 months, the coliform has exceeded standard 6 times at Xujiahui,
while Fe 4 times, total phosphorus once. At hydrological station, the coliform has exceeded
11 times, while Fe 4 times, and total phosphorus once. For the Jinjiang measuring point,
coliform exceeds for 11 times, Fe 4 times, total phosphorus once.
4.4.1.2 Water quality monitoring
In order to understand the water quality status in the project section, the Panzhihua

Environment Monitoring Station monitored the water quality in May, 2005. Details are
listed in Table 4-4, and Figure 9.
The standard index method is adopted. The indicator of single parameter i at point j is:

It shows that, the monitored result is conformed to the routine monitored data. The
coliform in Hydrologic station, Luoguo and Jinjiang cross-section exceed the standard,
while the other assessment indicators meet the standard. It indicates that at present, the
pollution in the monitored section mainly comes from living sewage. The industry
pollution is not so much serious as that of living sewage, but Fe exceed the standard at
sometimes, so industry pollution should not be neglected
4.4.1.3 Substrate sludge status assessment
In order to survey the status for heavy metal in the substrate sludge, the Panzhihua
Environment Monitoring Station monitored the status for heavy metal in the substrate
sludge in three spots. Details are listed in Table 4-5.

The values of 'Soil environment quality standard (class ) ' are listed in Table 4-5. The
comparison between result and standard indicates that the heavy metal concertration in the
sluge satisfies the standard of class . It showed that the sludge hasnt been polluted
seriously by the slag dumped along the Jinsha River. It is suggested that control measures
should be taken as far as possible, for it would be more difficult to treat pollution after the
sluge is polluted seriously.

4.4.2 Ambient air quality

4.4.2.1 Ambient air quality survey
Panzhihua is a heavy industrial city, the discharge rate that reach corresponding standards
of SO2, smoke and dust is 73.25%, 91.98% and 88.99% respectively. Because of the large
scaled pollution source and accident discharges, the air quality has been seriously polluted.
In addition, the tail-gas of vehicles may also cause air pollution.
The acid rain rate occurred in Panzhihua is 19.4% in 2003, highest in September,

2003(87.5%). The averaged annual fallen dust is 19.2 t/(km2month ).

In 2003, the discharge of tail-gas of vehicles is 87.46 billion m 3 with fuel burning waste
gas 33.34 billion m3, production waste gas 54.12 billion m3. The discharge quantity of SO2,
smoke and dust are 84,650 t, 13,560 t and 16,890 t, increasing 5.7%, 8.2%, 5.0% and 2.0%
than that of 2002 respectively. The remove ratio for SO 2, smoke and dust is 1.8%, 96.2%
and 97.1% respectively.
According to the Environment Bulletin of Panzhihua in 2003, the routine monitoring
factors for ambient air quality are SO 2, NO2 and PM10. The averaged concentration of SO2
is 0.036 mg/m3, meeting the national Standard of Class . The averaged concentration of
NO2 is 0.029 mg/m3, meeting the Standard of Class I. The averaged concentration of PM 10
is 0.217 mg/m3, 1.17 times more than the Standard of Class . It is obviously that the
main air pollutant of Panzhihua is the PM10.

4.4.2.3 Status assessment

The assessment method is single qualitative index method. Details are listed in Table 4-7.
The class 2 standard limited value of 'Air environment quality standard ' is listed in Table
4-7. The comparison between result and standard limited value indicates that the ambient
air quality satisfies the request of class 3 standard except Hemenkou Mining Bureau and
monitoring station in Bingcaogang.

4.4.3 Acoustic environmental quality

4.4.3.1 Acoustic environmental quality survey
The traffic noise is the main pollution source of the acoustic environment. According to the
2003 environmental condition bulletin, the average noise equivalent sound level is 57.4dB
in urban which is 49.1dB at night and 58.3dB on daytime, reducing 3.2dB, 1.3 dB and
2.6dB than that of 2002. The average noise equivalent sound level on traffic trunks is
72.0dB, exceeding 2.0 dB than that of the standard control volume. The trunk length which
is more than 70dB is 74.3km, 57.1% in all.
4.4.3.2 Status monitoring
In order to understand the status for acoustic environmental quality in the proposed project
region, the noise equivalent sound level was monitored by Panzhihua Environment
Monitoring Station in May, 2005. In order to reflect the noise change in vertical direction,
noise monitoring is carried out at the baconies of the third and sixth floor of Fenghuang
living quarters at the same time. Another anology monitoring site is set on Jiangnanyilu
road. The site arrangement is shown in Figure 9. The monitoring results are listed in Table
4-8.

It shows that at daytime, the noise values at three sites meet the standatd of Class , which
are Wuyi leisure village, Nongnongping living quarters of Pangang, and Sishijiugongli
living quarters. Noise at other sites is exceeding the standard differently. At night time,
only noises monitored at Wuyi leisure village and Sishijiu-gongli living quarters satisfy the
standard, while noise at other sites are exceeding the standard. The noise at Jiangnanyilu

road satisfies the standard of classs at daytime and exceeds the standard at night time.
4.4.3.3 Status assessment
It indicates that the acoustic environmental quality in Panzhihua isnt very well. Noise at
some residential buildings exceeds the standard seriously. The main cause is the traffic
noise. According to the project site survey, some heavy truck enters the urban area against
the local regulations at the night time, causing the noise exceeding phenomena.

4.4.4 Ecological environmental quality

The total timber production before forbidden period from 1968~1998 is 6,457,000 m 3,
equal to 123,800 ha forest. With the firewood using, the total timber consumpution is
26,000,000 m3, half of the whole city. The coverage reduced to 50% from 76.5%. Because
of the timbering forbidden regulation, forest regaining from farming and the greening
project, the coverage has resumed up to 57.9%, the living-timber reserve is 29,420,000 m 3.
The coverage is 40.85 % with 1716 hm 3 in the city urban area. The greening situation in
Panzhihua is relatively well. But the soil erosion is serious. The coverage cannot satisfy the
demand along the the Jinsha River and the Yalong River riverbanks.
The city has abundant sunshine and heat resource. It suits for many species to multiply.
Under such climatic conditions, the wild animal species are extremely rich within the
boundaries of Panzhihua, including amphibious, reptiles, birds and animals, which are
more than 400 species. According to the project site investigation, there is no rare and
precious terraneous animal in the assessment range. Some common wild animals can only
be found in the forest far away from the urban.

4.4.5 Social environmental quality

Panzhihua City is the regional central city which is close to the border of Sichuan and
Yunnan Province. The traffic is convenient. The city land utilization cannot satisfy the
demand. The proportion for industry production value is high. The GDP per capita
occupied the second in Sichuan Province. In summary, Panzhihua is a relatively developed
city in Sichuan Province but the development is still not balance.

Sensitive spots of social environment

According to the project site investigation, the proposed project will pass through the urban
area, causing land acquisition and resettlmetns, so there are many sensitive spots of social
environment. Based on the resettlement plan for Panzhihua environmental improvement
project' and site investigation, the affected people by demolition includes 325 rural people,
300 urban residence, 9 enterprises with 4223 persons. There are 648 persons affected by
land acquisition. As there are 247 persons who are impacted by land acqusiton and
demolition simutaneously, the total number affected by the proposed project is 5249. The

4.7 Main environmental problems

(1) Serous water environmental pollution problem
The living sewage of Panzhihua discharges directly into the Jinsha River without
treatment. The quantity of wastewater into the Jinsha River was 37,140,000t in 2003, upto
58.1% of the whole city. Some environmental factors, such as coliform, total phosphorus
and soluble iron, often exceeded the Standard of Class during high flow period. There
is only one sewage WWTP (Bingcaogang) in Panzhihua. Its designed treatment ability is
30,000t/d, while the current ability is only 22000 t/d due to the imperfect sewage system.
(2) Ambient air quality is not optimistic
The ratio of day when the air quality is inferior to the Standard of Class in
Nongnongping and Hemenkou are 29% and 81% respectively. On the other hand, as the
space between Nongnongping, Hemenkou industrial district and the inhabited area is
narrow, the ambient air quality near the industry district or far away cannot reach the
Standard of class . Because of the slender city arrangement, narrow street, large traffic
flow and special terrain, the ambient air quality of Bingcaogang can not reach the Standard
of Class 2.
(3) Serious industrial pollution
Because the steel and iron industry is the main part of Panzhihua industry, most of the
others serve for it. Irrational industrial structure and backward technique had restricted the
structure adjustment and economic development for long time. During the nineth-fiveyear
plan period, Panzhihua put large investment in pollution control and the environment has
been improved. But there is still a long way to go for the pollution control.
The solid waste in Panzhihua consists of metallurgy slag and other production waste.
According to statistics, 62,517,000 t industrial solid wastes were produced during the
nineth-fiveyear plan period, equivalent to 12,503,400 t per year. The dumped quantity is
9,770,000t, accounting for 78.2% of the total. The treated quantity is 348,200 t. The rate is
2.8% of the total. The comprehensive utilization ratio is 16.4%, equivalent to 2,058,800t.
The quantity discharged into river is 321,400 t, equivalent to 2.6% of the total. By the end
of 2000, the dumped quantity of industrial solid waste is 198,370,000t. Among the dumped
industrial solid waste, there is 92,000,000t refuse ore of steel company, 50,000,000t coal
gangue, 56,370,000t metallurgy slag (high-oven slag and steel slag). Up to now, the
dumped quantity is 170,000,000t. The land occupation reaches 152 ha.
(4) Ecological environment needs improving

Panzhihua lies on the hot and dry river valley of the Jinsha River. The residential
community and nearby are lack of vegetation protection. The special terrain and landform
restricted the diffusion and transport of the pollutants. There is large disparity to the human
suitable housing condition. The banks of the Jinsha and the Yalong River lack of vegetation
covering. The soil erosion is serious in such area. The greening plant in both banks of the
Jinsha River is in disorder, which seriously affects the city image of Panzhihua.
Moreover, as a result of the historical reason, 3 large-scaled slag dumps formed in the
riverbank, with more than 40,000,000 t solid wastes. They are the major potential place for
soil erosion and pollution.
(5) Urban transportation system needs improving
Panzhihua is a city with mountains and rivers. The urban layout presents belt-shaped. As a
result of the terrain restriction and historical reason, the city infrastructure development is
serious backward, which has restricted the traffic safety and urban development in a great
degree. It is urgently needed to be improved as soon as possible.

5 Forecast and assessment on environmental impact

5.1 Environmental benefit
The environmental benefits brought out by the proposed project mainly include landscape
benefits, social benefitsenvironmental benefits and economic benefits.
The project section of the Jinsha River riverside is mixed with waste steel slags, vallum
built during construction of the buildings along the Jinsha River, brushes and weeds, bare
rocks and screes, a few farm and green lands. The scenery doesnt meet with the demand of
a modern city. The riverside waste piles mainly include the west slags of Panzhihua Iron
and Steel Group, the slag field of Panzhihua Coal Group, and the spoiled ground of
Panzhihua Cold-rolled Factory. Besides, there is also some scattered construction rubbish.
The protecting facilities of the waste fields are in bad condition, so the water body of the
Jinsha River is seriously polluted by the riverside slags and solid waste. The environmental
improvement project along the Jinsha River will clear away the scattered construction slags
along the river, and control the riverside industrial solid waste. It can effectively prevent
the river to be polluted by manmade rubbish and industrial solid waste. It can also reduce
the soil erosion in the Jinsha River watershed area and protect water environment of the
Jinsha River. At the same time, it will beautify the urban environment, and improve the city
image and environment.
Limited by topography and historical influence, the traffic conditions of Panzhihua city lag
seriously, and have restricted the traffic safety and city development in a great degree. The
upper section of Binjiang Road will connect the Jiangnansilu Road and the completed
Binjiang Road, and form the main trunk road with east-west direction in central area of the
city. It can divert some border-crossing traffic volume. The last section of Bingren Road is
the extension of the upper section. It is the main road joining Bingcaogang District, the
central district of the city in the future, and Renhe District, the new district. Its construction
will densify the road network and relax heavy traffic in the central district. It is important
for the new district development and industry structure improvement. During the operation
phase, the city traffic will be smoother, the motor vehicle speed will be higher, and total air
emissions may be reduced for the same traffic flow. Thus it will have positive impact on
ambient air quality.
At present, the treatment ratio of domestic sewage in Panzhihua is low. Associated
interceptor and trunk sewers of Bingcaogang WWTP havent been constructed completely,
and its current load has not reached the designed demand. The living sewage of other
districts besides the Bingcaogang directly enters the Jinsha River dispersedly without any
treatment. The project construction will perfect the collecting system of Bingcaogang
water plant. During the operation phase, the living sewage of Qingxiangping District and
Wushisi~Bingcaogang District will be transported by the proposed interceptor sewers to
Qingxiangping WWTP. It will avoid the water pollution caused by scattered sewage. In
summary, the project will act a positive role in improving water quality of the Jinsha River.

5.2 Water environment impact

5.2.1

Construction phase

During construction phase, the main impact sources on water quality come from riverside
construction activities and waste water discharge.
There is open excavation during construction of bridge foundation, which may cause
foundation pit waste water. Because the discharge period is short, and the quantity is little,
the impact on water environment is small. The riverbank slope protection project will be
constructed along the river, so cofferdam and foundation construction may cause waste
water discharging and earth sliding into the river. The main pollutants are SS and oil.
The waste water of concrete mixing system comes from revolving drum and material tank
slushing, and the quantity of slushing waste water is approximately 15 cubic meters per
day. The concentration of SS in the slushing waste water is approximately 5000 mg/L, and
pH reaches 11.48. The slushing waste water is high concentration, small quantity and
centralized intermittent discharge. Because the quantity of waste water is little, the impact
on water environment is small. But the SS concentration of slushing waste water exceeds
the discharge standard seriously, the waste water should be treated before discharge.
In a word, if riverside construction activities wont be regulated, it may cause a great deal
of soil and oil materials to enter the river, and pollute water quality. However, as long as
the construction activities are regulated and the quantity of earth into the river is
controlled, the concentration of SS and oil wont increase evidently for the large runoff,
high speed and violent turbulence.

5.2.2

Operation phase

5.2.2.1 Impact on water quality brought by interceptor and trunk sewers

According to the local plan, Qingxiangping sewage WWTP will be constructed at the same
time as the sewerage network of this project. In the operation phase, the sanitary sewage in
Qingxiangping and Wushisi- Bingcaogang drainage catchments will be transported to the
treatment plant by the interceptor and trunk sewers and discharged after treated. This
avoids the inverse influence caused by the sanitary sewage discharged dispersedly. The
project plays a positive role in improving the water quality of the Jinsha River.
Qingxiangping WWTP is the project that the municipal government promised to construct
from its own budgets or external investement sources. Once the operation of
Qingxiangping WWTP lags behind the wastewater project, the sewers will be discharged
directly without any treatment. The impact on water environment is studied by the use of
the steady two-dimensional water quality model, commended by Technical Guidelines for
Environmental Impact Assessment Surface Water Environment (HJ/J 2.3-93).

u average flow velocity, m/s.
Taking the worst condition into account, the averaged flow in lowest flow month is
562m3/s. The results shows that, in the worst situation, the water quality of 1350m
downstream the trunk sewers outlet, will reach the water quality of standard . While
after the operation of Qingxiangping WWTP, the water quality meets standard beyond
20m downstream the trunk sewers outlet. As all the municipal water intakes has a long
distance with the outlet of the trunk sewers, the influence on water quality brought about
by the operation of sewerage network is little.
5.2.2.2 Impact on water quality brought by riverbank slope protection
During the operation of the riverbank slope protection sub-protect, riverbed and the
crosssection will be more stable and the flow will be smoother. At the same time, the
riverside solid waste will be prevented to enter river by the project. This is helpful to
reduce soil erosion in the Jinsha River watershed and protect the water quality of the Jinsha
River and the Yangtze River.
5.2.2.3 Impact on water quality of road operation
Service and management station will not be set up along the proposed roads, and the road
operation will be put into municipal traffic management. Hence during operation phase,
there is no increased living sewage. But in rainy days during the road operation phase, the
contamination of tail-gas and flying dust which fall on the road surface will flow into water
with the runoff, and affect water quality adversely.
Taking the research results of Environmental Engineering Research Institute of
Changan University as reference, rainfall less than 50 mm can wash the road surface
cleanly. The concentrations of common factors of road surface runoff are listed in Table
5-1.

Based on the area of the road surface, the rainfall in 2 hours in the proposed Binjiang
Road and Bingren Road are computed to be 3377 m3 and 7475 m3 respectively.
Supposing the runoff coefficient is 1.0, and the concentration time being ignored, the
flow yield on the proposed roads is 0.47m3/s and 1.04m3/s respectively. The mean
annual flow in driest month in the project section of the the Jinsha River is 562m 3/s.
Thus, the ratio of the road surface flow to the river flow is 1:1195 and 1:541

respectively.
The total quantity and concentration of contaminant brought by road surface flow are
listed in Table 5-2.

It is obvious that the ratio is small and the increased concentration in the Jinsha River
brought about by road surface flow is little. Therefore, the impact on water
environment brought by road surface flow is not obvious.

5.3 Impact on ambient air quality

5.3.1

Construction phase

The air pollution during construction phase primarily comes from excavating, stacking
waste, transport and asphalt mixing. The main pollutants are flying dust and asphalt smoke.
Restricted by quantity and construction field, there are mainly artifical work and smallscale construction machines in the slope protection sub-project along the Jinsha River, and
the quantity of flying dust and asphalt smoke produced is little. The construction of roads
and interceptor and trunk sewers are the main pollution source.
5.3.1.1 Impact analysis of flying dust
Panzhihua City lies in the arid valley of the Jinsha River. The flying dust is serious in dry
season. During the construction period of roads and sewers, some construction activities
such as excavating, piling and transport will bring about a great deal of dust, and bring
adverse impact on the ambient air. Effective measures must be taken for reducing or
avoiding the adverse impact.
(1) Excavation
The results of domestic and foreign research and similar projects investigating indicate that
when wind speed exceed the flying-up speed, the main factors influencing the dust quantity
are mailnly the protecting measures, wind speed, soil humidity, the earth decentralization
degree, the relative height of crane grab, excavating type or piling type and so on. There is
an experimetnal formula used to calculate the quantity of flying dust. The formula is as
follows:

Qp=MK
Where,
Qpquantity of flying dust;
Mquantity of soil in the grab each time;
Kempirical coefficient.
Similar project investigating indicates that the maximum quantity of flying dust brought
about by excavating is about 1 percent of the load quantity in the condition that no
protecting measures are adopted and the soil is dry. If some protecting measures are
adopted and the soil is a little wet, the quantity of flying dust brought about by excavating
is less than 0.2 percent, and the flying-up wind speed is about 1.2m/s.
(2) Transportation
According to flying dust analysis of built roads, road flying dust caused by transportation
in construction area is more than 50 percent of the total flying dust quantity, and the dustearth transportation is the most seriously pollution source. According to the domestic
monitoring results on road flying dust, when the wind speed is 1.2m/s, TSP concentration
is more than 10mg/m3 at 100m leeward, and about 5mg/m3 at 150m leeward.
(3) Piling area
Much flying dust will be produced at the soil piling area under the wind force. Thereis no
any perfect theoretical formulas for its quantity estimation at present. The following is an
experimetnal formula.
Qp=4.2310-4U4.9ApK
Where,
QPquantity of flying dust, mg/s;
Uwind spreed, m/s;
Kemperical coefficient considering soil humidity, %;
AParea, m2.
In summary, the flying dust problem is serious in arid season. So during construction
phase, necessary flying dust control measures must be taken. Besides, measures to protect
operators should be taken.
5.3.1.2 Asphalt smoke impact analysis
The proposed road is designed as asphalt concrete road surface. During asphalt mixing
process, asphalt smoke will be producd. Asphalt smoke is synthesized smoke which
consists of liquid hydrocarbon and little gaseity hydrocarbon. Through respiratory tracts
and polluting skin, it can cause poisoning and some symptom such as headache, eyesight
descendence and so on. Therefore, emission of asphalt smoke must be controlled during
asphalt mixing process.
Nowadays, mixing technology in enclosed plant equipped with dustcleaning facilities is
usually adopted during road construction. Asphalt is transported to the construction field in
high-temperatured containers without heating equipment. So emission concentration of

asphalt smoke is low. According to relevant data, when wind speed is between 2 and 3m/s,
the affected distance of asphalt smoke is about 100m leeward. The preceding mixing and
transportation technology of asphalt will be adopted in the proposed project, causing little
impact on the ambient air quality.
According to the construction plan, the asphalt mixers will be located at the flat field near
the proposed Basiqing Tunnel exit of Bingren Road. There are no residential houses within
100m leeward, so asphalt smoke in mixing process will not affect the sensitive spots.
Furthermore, the scale of the proposed road is small. According to common construction
plan, asphalt paving speed is 800m/day~1000m/day. By computation, the asphalt paving
period of the proposed Binjiang Road is 8 days, and that of Bingren Road is about 18 days.
It shows that the asphalt paving will not last long time, and the impact on ambient air
quality is small.

5.3.2

Operation phase

5.3.2.1 Prediction content

During operation phase, the main pollution source of air is automobile tail-gas of the
proposed Binjing and Bingren road, and its main contaminant is NOx.
5.3.2.2 Prediction method
(1) Emission intensity model

The automobile tail-gas could be supposed to be a continuous linear source, the source
emission intensity could be predicted by the model as follows:
3

Q j 3600 1 Ai E ij
i 1

Where:
Q j -- Emission intensity of NOx, (mg/(sm));

Ai -- Traffic flow of type i vehicles in the predicted year, (vehicle/h);

E ij --- NOx emission factor of individual vehicle of i type in n year, mg/ (vehiclem)

In the future, the motor emission standard may be raised and I/M plan may be
implemented, their effects havent been considered in the prediction. It is said that, in the
future, China will promote the second stage restriction for motor vehicle exhaust emission;
meanwhile Panzhihua government has strengthened tail-gas emission monitoring and
management from 2005. In this case, the actual quantity of NO x in the middle and long
term will be smaller than the predicted results.
(2) Diffusion model
According to the factual situation and World Bank experts opinion, CALINE4 model is
adopted. Details are as follows:
Divide road into a series of line sources, calculate the diffusion concentration at the

objective point for each line source respectively, then add up them to calculate the total
tail-gas concentration for the whole road.
Each line source is treated as a finite line source (FLS). The FLS center is located at the
center of the line source, and the FLS is vertical to wind direction. Taking the line-unit
centre as coordinate origin, leeward direction as X axis positive direction, coordinate is set
up for each FLS. Supposing the tail-gas in each FLS is discharging along FLS, its diffusion
is simulated with Gauss Model.

Table 5-3 and 5-4 show that in medium and long terms, the concentration of NO x at the
spots 15m far away from the center line of Binjiang Road will exceed the standard, and the
exceeding values are 0.009 mg/m3 and 0.02 mg/m3 respectively. Beyond 20m,
concentration of NOx meets the standard. All the concentrations of NOx of Bingren Road
are less than the standard values. It also indicates that all the concentrations at the sencitive
spots meet the standard.

5.4 Acoustic environment impact

5.4.1

Construction phase

5.4.1.1 Impact source

The noise during construction phase mainly comes from the construction machines and
transportation vehicles during excavation, drilling, explosion, concrete pouring and so on.
According to the monitoring data of anolog projects, the main noise sources are the
construction machines and concrete equipments such as bulldozer, grab crane, and road
roller. The noise values of main construction machines are listed in Table 5-6.

5.4.1.2 Noise prediction

The project will be constructed in several stages. Each construction machine has much
work space, and is some distance away from others, so the noise sources could be treated
as point sources, and decrease gradually with distance. The formula for noise decrease is as
follows:
L A( r ) L A( r

Where:
LA(r)the noise value at the point r (m) away from the noise source, dB(A);
LA(r0)the noise value at the point r0 (m) away from the noise source, dB(A);
r distance to the noise source, m.
According to above formula and the standard value in construction areas, the affected range
of each noise source can be determined. Results are listed in Table 5-7.

It indicates that the impact range brought by construction machine is 35m in the daytime
and 335m at night. The noise value outside the preceding range satisfies the standard of
Noise Limits for Construction Site (GB12523-90).
5.4.1.3 Impact on sensitive spots
Because the distances between the sensitive spots and the roads are less than 40 meters, the
noise on the sensitive spots won't reach the corresponding standard under the influence of
the construction machines. Though the adverse impact is temporary, and wont exist after
the project completion, corresponding measures should still be adopted to mitigate or avoid
the impact.

5.4.2

Operation phase

5.4.2.1 Forecast content

The traffic noise impact on the sensitive spots of Binjiang Road and Bingren Road during

operation phase will be predicted.

5.4.2.2 Prediction method
The noise pediction model recommended in Specification for Environment Impact
Assessment of Highway(on trial) (JTJ 005-96) is adopted. The model is as follows:
1) When i-type vehicle was driving during daytime and night time, the traffic noise value
per hour received in the predicted spots was calculated with the formula as follows:

5.4.2.3 Results and analysis
According to the report of feasibility study and the project site investigation, the predicted
results of traffic flow on Binjiang Road and Bingren Road are respectively listed in Table

The Class standard of environmental noise of urban area (GB3096-1993) is adopted for
the first line of houses of the sensitive spots. According to the predicted results, the noise in
day wont exceed the standard during the short term of operation phase, but at night the
noise on three spots will exceed the standard, and the exceeding values are between
0.82~6.90dB. In the medium term of operation phase, the noise in day wont exceed the
standard, but at night the noise on three spots will exceed the standard, and the exceeding
values are between 1.27~6.89dB. In long term, the noise in day wont exceed the standard,
but at night the noise on all of the spots will exceed the standard, and the exceeding values
are between 0.71~7.05dB. The noise of the residential building of the municipal power
company will exceed standard most largely.
The main cause of the noise exceeding is that, at present the noise on some sensitive spots
has exceeded standard at night, for example, the exceeding value on the residential
building of the municipal power company has reached 6.7dB, and the distances between
the sensitive spots and roads are too close. Therefore, necessary measures should be taken
to avoid or mitigate the impact.

5.5 Ecological environment

5.5.1

Terrestrial vegetation

According to the project site survey, there are no known rare and precious plants within the
assessement range. The main land type on the riverbanks from Xinzhuang Bridge to
Jinjiang is weed and bush. Secondly, there are fields used for industry, traffic, business and
residence, and bare rock beach place. The main land types along Bingren Road are
farmland, weed and bush. According to project analysis, the main impact sources on
terrestrial vegetation are some construction activities such as roadbed excavation, tunnel
excavation, explosion, and waste dumping. The preceding activities will directly destroy
the terrestrial vegetation of riverbanks, nearby areas of the tunnel exits and both sides of
roads. The area of farmland and garden occupied or destroyed by the proposed project will
reach 34.79ha.

5.5.2

Terrestrial animals

The project is located in Panzhihua city, and there are few wild animals within the
assessment range. There are some small common animals in the farmland along Bingren
Road. The quantity of the animals maybe decreased because of the construction of the
project, and the animals may migrate to other habitats. But after the construction, the
species will recover, and the species diversity wont be affected.

5.5.3

Landscape

During the operation phase, some construction activities such as waste dumping, field
occupying will have adverse impact on the landscape of the construction field. After the
construction of the project, the operation of the landscape project will beautify city
environment, advance city image and improve human living environment.

5.6 Soil erosion

5.6.1

Soil erosion analysis

5.6.1.1 Main part project

(1) Riverbank slope protection project
The construction field is the main place where soil erosion occurred seriously. Slope
excavation within the construction field is the main factor of soil erosion.
During the operation phase, theres no much soil erosion because that there are no newproduced waste dumping and earth's surface destroying, so the soil erosion in the Jinsha
River watershed will be decreased.
(2) Road subproject
During the operation of the proposed road, as the road surface will be totally hardened,
there won't be much soil erosion. Some slope protected by project measures won't bring
soil erosion under normal circumstances. Before the plant measures display their
conservation function completely during roadbed construction phase, slight soil erosion

will occur under the scour of rain and runoff. But it will be controlled and decreased with
the growth of plant and the increase of cover rate. Therefore, soil erosion of the proposed
road will occur principally during the construction phase.
1) Roadbed excavation and filling
During construction phase, the roadbed excavation and filling will spoil original
physiognomy along the roads. It directly leads the destroyance of original vegetation and
soil structure, making the anti-erosion ability decreased, and creating condition for much
more soil erosion.
During the designing period, the road routes have been optimized, so the highfilling and
deep excavating road sections are little. But these road sections are the main area of soil
erosion during the construction phase.
2) Construction of bridge and tunnel
The excavation of abutment foundation and tunnel portal will spoil earths surface in a
range, and the vegetation and soil structure will be destroyed seriously, leading the antierosion ability fall.
The proposed bridges includes the bridge between Dukou Bridge and Dukou Hanging
Bridge of Binjiang Road, and the two bridges at K9+865~K10+075 and K10+135~
K10+285 of Bingren Road. The tunnels mainly include Dusongshuliangzi Tunnel and
Basiqing Tunnel.
As the scale of the project road and the excavation quantity are small, the quantity of soil
erosion is also little.
(3) Interceptor and trunk sewers
The sewers will be buried underground deeply and the excavation earth is used for filling
mainly, so the quantity of permanent waste and the soil erosion caused by the waste is
little.
There is little soil erosion during the temporary piling of the excavation earth, but it
doesnt last long time and the quantity is little.
(4) Landscape project
This project includes four pieces of concentrated leisure green lands, which will be built at
broad bank areas. The operation of landscape projects will decrease the quantity of soil
erosion, but a little soil erosion will occur during the construction phase inevitably. These
part of soil erosion is to little to be neglected because of the small construction size.
5.6.1.2 Resettlement
The construction of the project will cause resettlement. During the resettlement course,
some activities such as building houses will occupy and destroy soil structure and surface
vegetation, and create condition for soil erosion. In order to decrease the soil ersion,
mitigation measures need to be taken.
5.6.1.3 Borrow pits
The sand materials will be exploited from the Jinsha River. The Jinsha River is the river
with high SS concentration. Soil erosion will occur inevitably during the exploitation
course and mitigation measures should be taken.

5.6.1.4 Construction waste disposal fields

The construction waste brought by the riverbank environment improved subproject will be
transported to the two building rubbish fields in Panzhihua. So the waste wont have
impact on soil erosion of the construction area.
The construction waste of Bingren Road is large, and seven waste fields have been
planned. The main forms of soil erosion of waste dreg fields are surface erosion and local
collapse. At the early days after waste field formed, the waste is relaxed and the surface is
bare totally. The earth will slip easily by outside force and soil erosion will occur seriously.
Three or four years later, waste fields will be more and more stable, and some weed will
grow on local surface of waste field. Hence the waste fields will be comparative steady,
soil erosion will be mitigated obviously.
5.6.1.5 Auxiliary projects
Auxiliary projects are comprised of construction plant, warehouse system and temporary
piling field. During the construction phase, the cover of these temporary building would
decrease the quantity of soil erosion. After the construction is completed, the temporary
building will be demolitioned, and the quantity of soil erosion of the bare occupied area
will increase.

5.6.2

Prediction range and period

The prediction ranges of soil erosion include the construction area and the directly affected
area. The construction area can be divided into permanent occupied area and temporary
occupied area. The permanent occupied area by the main works is 37.23 ha. Asphalt
concrete mixing field, construction area and temporary road will occupy 8.0 ha land
temporarily, and the area occupied by waste field is 13.27 ha. The total is 58.5 ha.
The directly affected area includes the affected area along Bingren Road and the
resettlement area. The affected area of Bingren Road is estimated to be 3.36ha. The other
sections of the proposed road go through the town areas occupied by houses, so it is better
not to be involed in the directly affected area.
According to the characteristics of soil erosion of the proposed project, construction phase
is the emphasis of soil erosion prediction. The construction phase is 2.5 years, from Jan.,
2006 to Aug, 2008. Taking 1 year of operation phase into consider, the prediction period of
soil erosion is 3.5 years.

5.6.3

Prediction content

5.6.3.1 Area of disturbed original topography, soil and vegetation

This project will disturb and destroy original soil sturcture mainly within the range of
construction area, consisting of the area permanently occupied by riverbank protection
project, roads, trunk sewers and landscape project, and also the area temporarily occupied
by borrow pits, waste field, and construction area, etc.
(1) Permanent occupied area
This part of area are mainly occupied by road surface, roadbed, bridge, culvert, drainage
ditch, safety facility, traffic managing facility, parking facility, road maintenance facility,

and green installation, etc. The total occupied area is 37.23 ha. and the main types are
disturbance and occupying.
(2) Temporary occupied area
The part of area are mainly occupied by borrow pits, waste field, construction area, and
temporary road, and the total occupied area is 21.27 ha. The occupied types are disturbance
and molding landform again.
According to the statistic analysis, the area of disturbed and destroyed surface is 58.5 ha.
The permanent occupied area is 37.23 ha. and the temporary occupied area is 21.27ha..
The area of occupied, disturbed and destroyed is listed in Table 5-13.

According to the project site survey and collected data, the facilities with the function of
water conservation in the project area mainly consist of farmland, woodland and weed

By computation, the quantity of soil erosion brought by waste is 142,500 m 3, equal to
322,700 t.
3) Prediction on soil erosion in the directly affected area
The soil erosion in the directly affected area includes the soil collapse during slope
excavation, and the decreased water conservation function caused by the vegetation
destroyance by human. Because the impact degree and range is limited, the prediction
would not be concerned in this report.
(2) Operation phase
According to the analysis of analogy projects, the erosion quantity in the first year of
operation phase is 5 percent of construction phase, accounting to 23,300 t.
The above results show that during the whole prediction period and without taking any
protection measures, the maximum possible soil erosion is 488,500 t.

5.6.4

Prediction result and analysis

In summary, the area of dusturbed and destroyed original earth and vegetation is 58.5 ha.,
and the area of destoryed facilities with water conservation function is 48.06 ha. During the
whole prediction period, the maximum possible soil erosion is 488,500 t in the condition
that no protection measures taken.
Water conservation works should be regarded highly during construction phase.
Engineering measures and plant measures should be adopted in the construction area, and
waste field should be protected as an emphasis point. Soil erosion should be decreased to
the lowest degree, and the eco-environment of construction area and circumjacent area
should be improved evidently.

5.7 Solid waste impact assessment

The total quantity of earth-rock excavation is about 1129,500 m 3, with 354,000 m3 of
backfilling, and 775,500 m3 construction wastes. Nine waste disposal fields are planned for
this project. Among them, two waste fields are building rubbish fields in Panzhihua for
compensate use, and there is no soil erosion impact responsible for the proposed project.
The other seven waste fields are located along last section of Bingren Road, and their main
environmental impact is that they will increase soil erosion. So water conservation works
of the waste fields should be done well to prevent soil erosion.
Assumed each constructor produces 1.0 kilogram rubbish every day, the density of which

is proposed to be 0.8t/m3, the total amount will be about 2281.3 m3 during the construction
phase. All the rubbish will be sent to the municipal rubbish landfills for final disposal.
During the operation phase, there will be little rubbish generated by drivers, passengers,
walkers or residents along the roads. The rubbish should be collected and sent to municipal
landfills for final disposal. At the same time, citizen consciousness of environmental
protection should be strengthened.

5.8 Social environment

5.8.1

Impact on traffic

Most of the proposed roads are new projects. There exists no direct traffic impact on the
existing traffict system during construction phase. But the transportation trucks used for
constructuion will increase, which will deteriorate the traffic status, and be likely to result
in traffic jam and road facilities being destroyed.
After the project completed, the traffic condition of Panzhihua will be improved greatly.

5.8.2

Impact on public health

During construction phase, exotic construction troop maybe bring exotic illness. If the
builder comes from the region where the infection happens frequently, he may bring in the
infection and cause acute infections in vogue, such as ague.

5.8.3

Impact on local economy and living quality

The project construction can not only bring direct revenue for the city, but also promote the
correlative indurstry such as transportation trade, raw materials processing, etc. In the
construction area, with the begining of the project, the builders swarm into the city, and the
number of trucks will increase, which will stimulate the development of Panzhihuas
commodity economy greatly.
During operation phase, the riverbank slope protection project will beautify the citys
circumstance and improve living environment. The status of traffic jam will be mitigated,
and there will be more spaces for city development. Moreover, the value of the land along
the road will rise, so the real estate development will be promoted. All of this will
accelerate the sustainable development and prosperity of Panzhihua City.
Furthermore, the construction of the last section of Bingren Road will make the extenal
transpotation more convieniance for the housing estate along the road, such as Fenghuang,
Hugang and Baihua, etc. After the road built, contact between Bingcaogang District and
Duren District will be strengthened. Some rural people will transform to be urban
residents, for the development of Renhe. Consequently, the project can advance citizens
living quality.

5.9 Analysis of environmental risks

During the operation period, the accidental risks will mainly come from the dangerous
goods transporting such as inflammable, explosive and poisonous goods, etc. It is
investigated that the main dangerous cargo on the local road includes fuel, liquid gas, and
industrial chemicals and so on. The main risks are the explosion and leak caused by
collision and pouring accident, which can threaten the water and ambient air environment.
Some proposed roads will be built along the Jinsha River. If such accidents occur, the

leaked dangerous chemicals may be discharged to the water area, and the safety of the
water user would be threatened. Effective measures should be taken to prevent the
preceding accidents and risks.

6 Resettlement
6.1 Index of the affected
Only the Binjiang Road subproject and Bingren Road subproject involve resettlement, and

6.2 Objective of resettlement plan

The general objective is that the affected people can find way out for the production, the
labor force can be arranged properly, their production and living condition will be
improved or will not worse than before at least.
Based on the living level in 2004 and the Eleventh Five-year plan of economic and social
development, the goal of the resettlement planning is:
(1) The family-averaged pure income of the resentments should retain to the level before
affected.

(2) The public infrastructure, education, health, social welfare, environment and
transportation condition should be improved than before. The ratio for children enrollment
and basic medication should keep the former level.

6.3 Resettlement principle

(1) The planning should be made based on the substantial norm of land acquisition and
demolition, and in accordance with the compensation and subsidy standard.
(2) The resettlement should combine with the local construction, resource exploitation,
economic development and environmental protection. The rehabilitation program should
be made according to the local conditions, providing chance and qualification for selfdeveloping to the immigrant.
(3) The planning is made based on the principle of befit to production, convenience to
life.
(4) According to the principle that the scale and standard of the rehabilitation should be
maintained originally, the scale can be enlarged and the standard can be raised reasonably
combining with the local development. The investment for the long-term development plan
should be solved by the local government and relating departments.
(5) Unified planning with due consideration for all concerned, deal with the relationship
between nation, group and individual properly.
(6) Combine the compensation in the earlier period with the production assistance in the
later period.

6.4 Resettlement planning guideline

The guideline of the resettlement is as follows:
Respect the habit and the custom of the resettled residents, fully consider their wishes and
keeping their original production and living way. Combine with the local land resource and
natural resources, plot land for those who keep on farming in the rural areas, and
encourage developing cultivation. Provide conditions for those who are engaged in the
second and third industry combining with the local district plan. The people who have the
farmland less than 0.4 Mu per capita will be arranged as urban citizens.
The plan must guarantee that the resettlements have enough living material firstly and then
have future development potential. Make full use of the local resource, encourage the
resettlements to be creative and to develop, and in the end, maintain the long-term peace as
long as possible.

6.5 Resettlement scheme

6.5.1

Resettlement scheme for land acquisition

There are two kinds of resettlement ways for land acquisition, which are inner farmland
adjusting and rural to urban arrangement. Among the affected groups, the Huaguo group
whose per capita farmland is more than 0.03ha (0.4Mu), will adopt the first way. The other
groups, Yuejin and Shaping, whose per capita farmland is less than 0.03ha (0.4Mu) will
adopt the second way.

6.6 Environmental capacity analysis of resettlement area

6.6.1

Natural condition and land resource

The land acquisition comes from three groups. After acquisition, their per capita farmland
is nearly 0.14~0.16 Mu. The people whose farmland is less then 0.4 Mu will be changed to
urban residence. The affected area is located in the suburbia of the city. Therefore the
natural condition can not be the restrict factor affecting the environmental capacity.

6.6.2

Characteristic of the resettlements and relationship between people

and land

The relationship among the farmers is very close in agglomeration. In order not to affect
the habit, custom and social relationship, and not to enlarge the distance of planting, the
resettlements should be arranged nearby, mainly engaged in cultivating as before. By
reclaiming the wasteland, improving the agricultural infrastructure and adjusting the
agricultural structure, the agricultural potential will be developed. Furthermore, a lot of
affected people are businessman who gets profit mainly from trading and serving. The
construction will not affect their customs seriously; on the contrary, it will provide more
chance to them. Therefore, with the backing of the land, encourage people to be creative
and engage in their primary job, and create chance for the development of the second and
third industry. The environmental capacity will be fulfill in the affected area.

6.6.3

Condition of production and living infrastructure

6.6.3.1 Transportation condition

The construction will make the journey more convenient and accelerate the circulation of
cargo and people, which will greatly promote the local economic development. The

implementation of the resettlement planning will improve the living environment and
infrastructure. Therefore the traffic will not become the restricted factor of environmental
capacity.
6.6.3.2 Water condition
The groundwater level is high in the affected area. The residents in villages and groups use
water from wells. The residents in towns have already used the tap water. Because of the
convenience in water supply, the construction will not affect the residents to use water.
Therefore, the water quantity and source will not be the restricted factor for environmental
capacity. The production and living condition will be improved along with the economic
development in this area.
6.6.3.3 Power condition
The affected electricity transmission and transformation system will be rebuilt according to
the original standard and the power supply will not be affected by the project construction.
6.6.3.4 Medical, cultural and educational condition
The project does not directly affect the medical, educational and other social service
facility. The original facility will continue to function. The pedestrian passageways will be
set by the project near the medical spots and schools, so the resident will not feel any
inconvenience.
6.6.3.5 Fuel supply
The inhabitant takes the coal as the main fuel. The land acquisition impact on villages and
towns is little, and will not affect their coal supply. After the completion of the
construction, the improvement of the traffic will make the fuel buying more convenience.

6.6.4

Economic development and its potential in the affected area

Planting is the mail profession in the affected villages and their economic development is
normal. In the future development, the area should make the full use of resource and traffic
improvement. By suiting measures to local conditions, develop the production more
widely, strengthen the technique investment and intelligence developing, their production
and living level can be raised. Promote the comprehensive development of agricultural,
afforestry, pasture, industry, business and transport by making use of the land resource,
raising the living standard of the resettlements. The environmental capacity will increase
with the economic development.

6.7 Resettlement planning

6.7.1

Production and living rehabilitation plan

6.7.1.1 Production rehabilitation plan

The project resettlement group first analyzed every village and groups geography position,
land resource capacity and the constitution of the residents income. They also solicited the
represents opinion of the affected families. Based on respecting majority immigrants
choice, the project resettlement group established the rehabilitation plan with the local
government.
According to the laws and regulation of China and Sichuan province, the resettlements
who are compensated by cash will receive the whole subsidy of the land acquisition. The
land compensation will be shared by the village and group, which is used in farmland

infrastructure construction and other collective welfares. Because the rehabilitation plan is
based on the majority resettlements opinion, the project coordination office will manage to
find other solution measure if there are individual resettlements who does not agree with
the plan. If the individual resettlements who are compensated by cash have the wish of
farm engaging, the office will help them to replace farmland from the people who doesnt
want to farm. Otherwise, if the resettlements are willing to be compensated by cash and
change to do business, they may obtain the corresponding cash compensation on the
condition that they have the foundation and ability to do business.
6.7.1.2 Living rehabilitation plan
According to the resettlements opinion and local condition, make the negative effect as
little as possible. All of the resettlements are arranged in the original social area, and the
construction should combine with the local layout. The new house should be built first,
avoiding temporary transition house. In the land adjusting process, the poor farmers land
will not be adjusted to guarantee their original condition.

6.7.2

Basic facility planning for resettlement area

6.7.2.1 Level ground

Because of the flat topography of the house site, the quantities of the foundation treatment
are not much. The average basic depth for brick-concrete and brick-wood house is 0.5m.
The cost for the ground level has contained in the unit price of the house.
6.7.2.2 Public engineering
(1) Water supply
All the residents in town and city have used tap water and people from village mostly use
water by drilling well or storage pit. The affected farmer will be compensated by the
detailed survey. To the residents who have used tap water before, the distance from total
water pipe to new house should be less than 20 m.
(2) Power supply
The capability of the electricity system can fulfill the demand for resettlements. The 220V
line need to be accessing. The distance between the user is 50~200m.
(3) Broadcast and television
The broadcast will be led in from the household nearby; the television receiving instrument
can also be re-installed in the new house.
6.7.2.3 Road and traffic
According to the resettlements wish, they all hope to be resettled near the original
inhabitant. Convenient traffic is the first choice when they choose the place. So the
resettlement house will be arranged along the new road where is close to their original
inhabits. It not only solves the traffic problem, but also creates condition for their
production and living rehabilitation. 5~30m short cut need to be built which connects the
road and house.
The cost for ground flatting, shortcut building and water, power, broadcast connecting has
been counted into the house price with the standard of 1000yuan per household. It should
be paid from the resettlements compensation expense.

6.7.3

Social service facility

The land acquisition does not include school and hospital. The resettlements still have the
original facility like school, medical room and commercial stores. The distance between
the new residential area and the facilities is the same as before.

6.7.4

Community management and construction of immigrants house

The immigrants do not move outside the original community, so the existing
administration system doesnt change.
The house building for immigrant must consider not only the living habit but also future
developing space. The demolition and construction must be done on their own opinions.
The compensation is based on structure and floor area of the original house. The expense is
equal to the cost of buying a suit of same house. The cash will allocate step by step
according to the construction progress. The distance between the new and former houses is
less than 500m, so the immigrants can put the demolition work behind the new house
building, and live in the former house during new house construction, avoiding temporary
house.

6.7.5

Organization and management of resettlement

The implementation of the resettlement will be led by the Project Resettlement Leader
Group. The Project Resettlement Office will also be founded whose staff comes from
related departments. The office is responsible for the plan making and resettlement
propaganda and mobilization. Meanwhile, the office is the main complaint channel for
immigrants. The office must collect the opinions promptly and fully, and reflects them to
the higher authority on time. It must also feedback the solving result.
In order to improve the technical skill and comprehensive quality for the immigrant,
increase the scientific input to the agriculture, the resettlement office and related
departments of the region will organize scientific activities, give lectures about law and
agricultural knowledge and supply free technical support for the immigrant.

6.8 Environmental impact analysis

6.8.1

Impact on immigrants living condition

The immigrants original living condition is different. The structures of the urban
demolition houses are brick- concrete, while some rural demolition house are brick and
wood. Many demolition houses are aged, small, congested and without modern facilities
such as toilet, sewerage pipe etc.
Rural houses will be resettled in the vicinity of the original houses, and turban residence
will purchase second-hand or new economic houses. In resettlement district, basic facilities
and environmental condition will be better. So immigrants living condition will be
improved evidently.

6.8.2

Impact on immigrants economic income and living quality

The affected area by land acquisition involves 3 rural groups, 212 rural households, 811
rural persons, 229 urban households and 300 urban persons. The area of land acquisition is
34.79 ha, including cultivated land, gardening and forest. The decrease of local cultivated
land will have adverse impact on farmers economic income.
Production rehabilitation program will be adopted. The group whose farmland is less than

0.4 Mu per capita, will be arranged as urban residence. The affected farmers may engage in
business or find job in other districts, and their income and living quality will be better.
However, because of their poor cultural level and skill, the rural residents may not be
adapted to the new working environment and it is possible to lose job again. By some
measures such as training and purchasing insurance, the adverse impact or risk will be
minimized.

6.8.3

Impact on enterprises production

The affected productive enterprise will be resettled in the Nanshan industrial park in Renhe
District. The park lies in the center of Renhe district and near the west section of Duren
road, 6km away from city downtown. According to the city plan, the park is a centralized
area for productive enterprises. The enterprises moved in will acquire better development
space and conditions. Centralized the productive enterprises is beneficial to develop
circulation economy mode. Consequently, it is favorable for reducing the quantity and
costs of the waste processing for individual enterprise. It is not only good for the
development of enterprise itself, but also for the environmental pollution control over the
whole city.
All the un-productive enterprise will be resettled nearby. In the long run, the normal work
of these institutions will not be affected by the project.
In early days of resettlement, enterprises normal production will be affected due to their
address changing, which may make the customers feel inconvenient.
As a whole, as long as the resettlement work is carried out well, the project construction
will not cause the much adverse impacts on the enterprises.

6.8.4

Impact analysis on environment brought by resettlement

After the project construction, the main environmental impact sources in resettlement areas
are living sewage and rubbish. Corresponding infrastructures and servicing facilities
including sewage disposal system will be established in new urban resettlement areas. The
immigrants will enjoy the community management and all rights of city community
inhabitant. The living sewage and rubbish produced by the residents will go into the
corresponding treatment systems in Panzhihua City, which wont pollute the environment
any more. The living sewage of the rural immigrants may be used as feedstuff or fertilizer,
and the rubbish will be collected and treated in corresponding treatment systems in
Panzhihua City. Therefore, as long as the mitigation measures are done well, the
environmental impact brought by resettlement is little. But water conservation should be
done well during building construction.

7 Environment Protection and Impact Mitigation Measures

7.1 Water Environment Protection Measure
7.1.1

Protection objective

The waste water produced in construction mainly contains SS, according to the sewage
drainage standard of Class , the SS concentration of construction sewage should be
controlled less than 70mg/L.

7.1.2

Protection Measure during Construction Phase

7.1.2.1 Treatment of Construction wastewater

The waste water mainly comes from the concrete mixing system. According to the
construction plan, although the scale of concrete mixer is small and the waste water is the
swashing wastewater, the concentration of suspended solids is high and it needs to be
sedimented before discharge or recycle.
The treatment measure for construction waste water is to use rectangle sedimentation pond.
The swashing wastewater should be disposed no less than 6 hours in the sedimentation
pond before discharge. The outlet of pond is designed with mobility facility in order to
clean and adjust it easily. Because of the unified structure and small scale of the concrete
mixing pond, all the deposit ponds are designed as 2.0m2.0m1.5m tentatively.
Because of the simple structure of the sedimentation pond without the problem of
maintenance, the major attention should be paid to the cleaning of the sedimentation pond
on time during operation. The management and maintenance work should be combined
with that of the concrete mixing system. No special department and workers is needed.
7.1.2.2 Other Measures
(1) It is better to chose advanced equipment and machine to decrease the production of oil
sewage. The maintenance of equipment, machine and vehicle depends on the present
garages and field in Panzhihua city and it doesnt need to setup garage additionally and
the sewage would be disposed by the garages in the city.
(2) The living sewage will be drained into the city sewers or nearby toilet to irrigate
farmland during construction phase.
(3) The construction material such as asphalt, oil, chemicals should not be piled along the
riverbank. The material should be covered and managed by special person, preventing it
from washing down into the river.
(4) The construction area should be arranged far away from the water intakes along the
Jinsha River, especially 1000m away form that of the Panzhihua city waterworks.
(5) The construction of bridge piers should progress in dry season. If it has to be
constructed in flood season, make sure to get the consent of water conservancy
department, and build cofferdam and other guard measure.
(6) After the exploitation of the sand on the bottomland along the Jinsha River, it is
necessary to level off and dredge the river course, and keep the mud and sand from
polluting the river.

7.1.3

Protection Measures during Operation Phase

(1) The construction of Qingxiangping WWTP should be completed and put into operation
with the sewers at the same time to avoid the impact brought by the centralized wastewater
discharge.
(2) Enhance the management of the established WWTP, and keep the accidental discharge
from polluting the surface water.
(3) It is forbidden to set new sewage discharge outlet in the range of 1000m upper stream
of the water intake.

spilling and causing dust pollution.
2) Maintain and clean the road regularly, in order to keep the road function well.
3) Improve the method of road sweeping, adopt the wet method instead of the dry method,

and use road sweeper instead of manual work.

4) Combine with the water conservation measures, planting trees at both sides of the road
especially at the nearby sensitive spots to reduce dust pollution.
Besides, the construction department should reserve special fund in the budgetary for the
mitigation to dust pollution. The road and material deposit site should be reinforced and the
construction sites should be enclosed, and the height of the barrier should be firmly,
steadily, neatly, and not less than 2m. The scaffold should be enclosed with dense safety
net, and the height should be 1.5m higher than the scaffold. The net should be cleaned
regularly.

protection system function well.
(4) Supported by Panzhihua Municipal Party Committee and local government,
Panzhihua Exhaust Gas Pollution Prevention Centre was founded in November 2003. It
takes charge of the coordination and management of exhaust gas pollution prevention
specially. The centre enhances the drumbeating of the harm caused by exhaust gas and
the significance of prevention. It strength the force in checking and executing, and
takes examine every year. At the same time, the basic prevention technique should
depend on the inspecting and maintaining system. And it requires both the gas and
diesel vehicles to equip the exhaust examining instruments, enhancing the testing and
maintaining to vehicle. Considering the high altitude and mountain landform,
Panzhihua brought in turbocompressor technique to mitigate the pollution of diesel
exhaust gas. The results show that the vehicles equipped with the compressor function
well, and the percentage of smoke in exhaust gas descends in a high degree, which
meet the applicable national standard. Furthermore, it can save fuel and enhance power.
The prevention and protection ability of exhaust gas still need to be enhanced to a new
step in Panzhihua City. It will take various measures to reduce vehicle exhaust gas,
such as enhance the drumbeating of the harm cause by exhaust gas and the significance
of prevention, and use compressed natural gas clean fuel in city bus, taxi and so on,
enhance monitoring and management of vehicle exhaust gas, forbid the unqualified
vehicle running on the road.

(5) The transportation of dangerous material should be managed in light of national laws
and regulations.

7.3 Acoustic Environment Protection Measures

7.3.1

(10) Workers in construction site should be protected by crash helmet, earplug and so on.

7.3.3

Mitigation to Traffic Noise during Construction Phase

7.3.3.1 Mitigation to Traffic Noise at Sensitive Spots

According to the prediction results, the noise at Panzhihua City Power Company
residential area in the upper section of Binjiang Road exceeded standard most heavily, and
that of the living areas of the Precast Slab Factory and the residential areas at the terminal
of Bingren Road exceeded a little. The exceeding value of each sensitive receptor can be
seen in Table 5-8~5-11.
(1) Noise mitigation measures
1) Greening scheme
According to the Specifications for Environment Impact Assessment of Highway
(interim edition) (JTJ005-96), the noise can be reduced 5dB when the receptors out of the
sight behind the wood which is breadth of 30m with 4.5m height. This measure adapts to
the sites which have enough space to plant trees and the exceeding of noise is not too
much.
In this project the sensitive receptors are too close to the proposed road, and there is not
enough room to plant enough trees. So it can combine with main body design to setup
greening belt to mitigate the noise impact to a certain extent.
2) Sound insulation glass scheme
Because of the limited mitigation effect of greening scheme, the sensitive receptors such as
residential area of Panzhihua Power Company, the housing estate of Precast Slab Factory
and the residential areas at the terminal of Bingren Road should be fixed with sound
insulation glass to mitigate the noise impact.
According to the investigation and tentative statistic, the houses near the road of the
sensitive receptors need 1364 pieces of sound insulation glass.
The noise can be decrease by 6dB to 9dB after adopt the acoustic insulated glass scheme.
(2) Summary
After taking the mitigation measures above, those 4 sensitive receptors can meet the
Standard of Environmental Noise of Urban Area (GB3096-93) Class .
7.3.3.2 Other Measures
(1) Enhance traffic management to avoid the noise caused by traffic accidents and traffic
jam.
(2) Draw up corresponding traffic management regulations, enhance vehicle management
at night, establish rational route for the heavy vehicle at night to reduce vehicle flux at
concentrated residential area.
(3) Setup traffic signs to forbid blowing at concentrated residential area.
(4) Combine with main body design, set passerby partition guardrail beside the driveway,
in order to reduce noise cause by whistle and brake when passerby across the road.

7.4 Eco-environment Protection Measures

(1) Manage construction rationally and organize construction management carefully. Limit
the construction area in the bound of expropriation land strictly. Mitigate the impact on the

eco-environment as possible during the excavation.

(2) Arrange construction season and work time rationally, optimize construction scheme,
avoid construction and slope excavation in rainy season to minimize the soil erosion.
(3) Enhance the recovery work of construction area and the ecological scenery.

7.5 Water and Soil Conservation Measures

7.5.1

Road Project

According to road engineering criterion and the topography condition, a detailed water
conservation plan has been made in the main construction design. It mostly includes
roadbed retaining wall, drainage project and road surface project. The design can meet the
demands of water conservation. Therefore, this part mainly emphasize on the design for
greening measure.
7.5.1.1 Greening Measures for Roadbed Slope
(1) Seed Choose
According to the ground condition of construction area, based on the characteristics such
as the condition of plant root system, the height above ground, the capability of resistance
to draught, heat, cold and leanness, congongrass and ryegrass are planned to choose for the
slope protection. These grasses are advanced in root systems, of the capability of resistance
to draught, heat, leanness, and even the cold.
(2) Planting method
Backfill soil in the masonry skeleton, and cover with the cloth after seed the congongrass
and ryegrass in order to preserve heat and humid, and irrigate regularly to accelerate them
burgeon and growth.
(3) Seed quantity
The seed quantity should be determined by the factors such as weight of the seed per kilo
(2.74g), germination and purity rate of the seed. According to some relative materials, the
quantity need for ryegrass and congongrass seed is 35g/m2, meaning 350kg seeds are
needed in per hectare.
7.5.1.2 Other Water Conservation Measure during Construction Phase
In order to mitigate soil erosion in permanent occupied area during construction phase,
based on the conditions of excavation section, filling section and both excavating and
filling section, the following measures should be adopted during construction phase.
(1) Observe the design report and construction plan strictly during construction; protect
slope immediately after finished roadbed excavation, prevent the road surface from
bareness.
(2) Construct cut-off ditch and drainage ditch of the excavation section firstly, reducing the
surface scouring by the runoff.

(3) Forbid high density explosion in large excavation area, to keep the stability of the
mountain. If the excavation slopes are steep, it should take roadbed protection measure
before the construction of road surface.
(4) In construction phase, it is necessary to take temporary water conservation measures to
the construction surface, such as drainage ditch, retaining wall, slope protection and so on
to reduce soil erosion during construction phase.
(5) Use cloth or other materials to cover excavation surface in rainy days in order to
decrease erosion.

7.5.2

Water and soil conservation measures of waste disposal fields

The water conservation measure in this part is only designed for the seven waste disposal
fields at last section of Bingren road.
7.5.2.1 Engineering Measures
The seven waste disposal fileds at last section of Bingren Road are settled along the road
sides, and the height of the deposits are parallel to the road surface basically. Considering
the waste disposal fileds are located at middle mountain area, the foot of the slope should
be protected by the grouted rubble retaining wall. There is no retaining wall set for the
No.3 waste disposal field, and the heights of the grouted rubble retaining wall of No.4 to
No.9 waste disposal fields range from 2m to 6m. The engineering quantities of each waste
disposal areas can be seen at Table 7-1.
Because the waste disposal fields are located along the proposed road, and the drainage
measure has been designed strictly in construction plan. The drainage of the waste disposal
field can make use of the road drainage system, and it is unnecessary to design other
drainage measure in this report. The deposits can use the drain hole on the grouted rubble
retaining wall to drainage. The aperture of the drain hole is 10cm and the space is 2.5m.

7.5.2.2 Greening Measures

(1) Ground renovation measures

1) The main work is cleanning and flatting the top of the deposits, removing the waste such
as larger gravels.
2) According to the planting density of each plant and ground condition, dig the hole for
the plant.
(2) Planting scheme
Because of the short route and the analogous climate of each part of the project, besides the
similarity of each waste disposal area, it can adopt unified plant and technique at these
seven waste disposal areas in order to be convenient for the purchase and implement.
1) Plant choose
According to the ground condition and the environment around, it can choose mango tree,
Banyan and Boston Ivy for the greening measures.
2) Planting method
In order to bring the maximum ecological and economic benefit, it should be designed
scientifically for the forestation density, the mixed way and planting layout of trees. The
planting method of the water conservation plant for the waste disposal fields at the last
section of Bingren Road depend on the local forestation experience, the forestation
purpose, and the behavior of the trees.
Considering the particularity of water conservation, the forestation density can be
increased properly. Based on behavior of the chosen trees, the mango tree or Banyan
should be planted at the intervals of 2m in row and 1.5m in column, while the Boston ivy
at the intervals of 1.5m both in row and in column. Details are shown in Table 7-2.

The layout of trees should be arranged in rectangle style.

Besides the necessary measures, it also should clean up the gravels or sundries and
cultivate the earth before the planting in order to improve the ground condition. So as to
reap the benefits such as ensuring water and soil conservation, convenient for construction,
increasing survival rate of forestation and promoting the grass growing. The land soil for
water conservation forest at Bingren Road should be prepared and ploughed block by
block, and the size of the planting hole of the mango tree and Banyan should be
40cm40cm40cm, that of the Boston Ivy should be 30cm30cm30cm.

3) Planting technique
It is better to plant nursery stock instead of seed by the project. The seeding of mango tree
and Banyan should be with one years old, while the Boston Ivy be planted with nutrition
pouch. The planting time should be the rainy season.
4) Requirement of the nursery stock
In order to make full use of local resources, the construction department comes to an
agreement with the forestry bureaus of Panzhihua City and Renhe Borough and decides to
make use of the existing nursery near by the local forestry bureau to raise the nursery
stocks.
In order to ensure the planting survival rate, the nursery stock of the mango tree, Banyan
and Boston Ivy should be well-bred and strong. The nursery stocks, which should meet the
major species for afforestation (GB6000-8) class or , must have straight trunk and
natural color and without trauma and plant diseases. It is must to keep humid and suitable
temperature and against the sunshine during the transportation. And the nursery stocks
should be planted immediately after arriving at the planting areas.
5) Nurture management measures
The main task of the nurture management is to create favorable growing environment for
the young plant, satisfying them with the sunshine, temperature, water, nurture and air.
Furthermore, promote the growth of the trees and the forming of the trunk with suitable
controlling. Meanwhile, protect the young plant form the damage of atrocious weather and
human activity. The nurture management is much important to the survival rate, reserve
rate and the growth of the young plant.
The nurture management measures of the young plant mostly include loosening soil, weed
killing, irrigation, fertilization, pruning and shaping. The Mango trees should be nurtured
once a year during the first three years.

Water and soil Conservation Measures of Borrow Pit

Because of the exploitation of the sand, the constitution of the gravel on the riverbed would
be changed and the riverbed presents a kind of accidented form. Therefore, the borrow pits
should be leveled and dredged before flood season during construction phase, in order to
mitigate the erosion cause by the flood.

7.5.4

Water Conservation Measures of Slope Protection

Because the slope protection project can mitigate water erosion itself, necessary water
conservation measures such as cut-off ditch, drainage ditch, water-intercepted wall etc.
should be taken in construction phase. At the same time, the management of the water and
soil conservation must be enhanced to prevent the construction activity form getting out of
line. It should be prohibited from discarding waste into river, and some punitive measures
should be established against such activity.

7.5.5

Water and soil conservation measures of interceptor and trunk sewers

During the construction of the interceptor and trunk sewers, because of the steep terrain in
the construction area, it should combine with the road construction in order to decrease the
excavation quantity when level the areas parallel to the contour lines. The soil erosion
often takes place in the bare and steep slope or the incompact backfill segment. The water
conservation measures mainly aim at the protection of the slope, the construction of the
drainage and the protection of the waste disposal fields. As to the sewers perpendicular to
the contour lines, the water conservation measures mainly aim at preventing the backfill
earth from erosion and falling, building stable retaining wall and drainage facilities, and
recovering the occupied land. Meanwhile, the excavation soil should be reserved to meet
the demand of the backfill and planting.
7.5.5.1 Disposal Measures of Excavation and Backfill Slope
The construction site on the gentle slope could be recover without any protection measures.

The backfill slope should be protected by the blocks base on the height of the backfill
segment.
The sewers perpendicular to contour line should be protected by the grouted rubble the
same as the slope protection with 1.0m extent to the edge of the excavation area.
7.5.5.2 Water Conservation Measures of the Sewer Excavation
The sewers perpendicular to contour line at gentle slope should be set water-intercepted
wall at the intervals of 10m. If the terrain is steep, the sewers should be protected by the
grouted rubble.
7.5.5.3 Water Conservation Measures of Construction areas and Waste Disposal Areas
The excavation soil should be reserved for backfilling and recovering of the occupied land.
During the excavation of the sewers, the excavation soil should be deposited on the sides
of the sewers. In order to ensure the stability of the deposit, the gradient of the slope should
be 1:2. Furthermore, the deposit should be protected by the earth bags to prevent it from
erosion and falling into the sewers.

7.5.6

Water and soil conservation Measures of Auxiliary Engineering

7.5.6.1 Construction Encampment and Storage System

Soil erosion would be caused during the construction and demolishment of construction
site and encampment. The water conservation measures in this part only emphasize on the
construction, function and demolishment of the temporary auxiliary facilities.
(1) Protection measures on early stage
The drainage and retaining wall should be set respectively upriver and downriver of the
construction field which is located upriver of water area.
(2) Management measures in construction
1) Construction unit should arrange earth works avoiding rainy season, keep balance
between excavation and backfill as possible to decrease the production of waste.
2) Manage the piling and disposal of borrows and wastes carefully during construction
phases. Clean out the sediment in cut-off ditches and drainage ditches in time, and keep the
drainage system smooth.
(3) Protection measures on later stage
The impermanent buildings and sclerous ground should be removed after construction, and
the wastes will be transported to the nearby waste disposal field in time. Afterward, the
recovering work would be carried out following the land use plan of the construction area.
7.5.6.2 Temporary Deposit Area
(1) Site choose
The deposit area should be located at the flat wasteland, where is easy to take protection
measures.
(2) Disposal of surface soil

The surface soil of the temporary deposit area should be reserved for the land recovering.
The reserved soil can be deposited at the appointed area in construction site.
(3) Drainage project
In order to drain the water flowing from the slope and prevent the deposit from erosion, the
drainage and interceptor should be set in advance for the temporary deposit site in the
slope.
(4) Temporary measures
The deposit should be temporarily protected by earthbags whose height is determined by
that of the deposit.
(5) Ground levelling on later stage
Base on the terrain and gradient, divide the field into pieces which doesnt incline to the
outboard of slope. Afterward, level the ground and recover it with the reserved soil.
7.5.6.3 Greening Measures
(1) Planting scheme
According to the local climate and soil condition, the water and soil reservation forest,
which is the best choice of the planting measure, is suitable for the temporary occupied
land which is scattered and limited.
(2) Species of trees
The best choices are mango tree and Banyan.
(3) Planting method
The method chosen is the same as that of the mango tree and Banyan.
(4) Planting technique
Choose the young plant with one year old and plant in the rainy season.
(5) Nurture management measures
The nurture management measures of the young plant mostly include loosening soil,
weedkilling, irrigation, fertilization, pruning and shaping. The Mango trees should be
nurtured once per year during the first three years.

7.6 Solid Waste Disposal Measures

Consumer wastes of the construction workers will be treated together with the city
consumer wastes, and a majority of the solid castoff in construction is discarded soil. Part
of the discard soil will be transported to the two dumping fields in Panzhihua City. The
majority of the discarded soil will be deposited at the seven waste disposal fields at the last
section of Bingren Road. The waste disposal fields must be protected following the above
water conservation measures. During construction process, construction area should be
restricted strictly, and it is forbidden to dump wastes at random, especially to dump into the
Jinsha River during construction phase. The construction site should be cleaned after
construction.

During operation phase, municipal environment department should enhance the cleaning
and maintenance work on roads and landscapes. At same time, implement the drumbeating
work well to improve civilian sanitary quality.

7.7 Social Environment Impact Mitigating Measure

7.7.1

Public Health Protection Measures in Construction Phase

(1) Filing and epidemic survey

Each construction unit should carry on health investigations and epidemic filing for every
worker before the construction unit enters the construction site, to prevent the epidemic.
The content of investigation and filing includes age, sex, health condition, epidemic
history, and original work place.
The survey items include phthisic, infective hepatitis (including hepatitis B), dysentery.
Besides, the disease items which spread in the places the non-native workers come from
also should be examined additional.
The quantity of investigations and filing depend on the number of workers at peak
construction period.
(2) Sample quarantine
According to the survey result of epidemic situation, take samples for quarantine regularly.
The main content of the quarantine include the familiar disease such as hepatitis, dysentery,
tracheitis, phthisic and so on. Medical treatment must be taken in time once the epidemic
disease emergence.
According to the arrangement of construction, take sample quarantine once each autumn
during construction phase. The number of quarantine samples should be 10% of the
number of worker at fastigium.
(3) Disease prevention plan
In order to prevent disease from spreading in construction area and enhance the immunity
of workers, it should take preventive medicine and inoculate regularly.
The number of the workers accepts the epidemic prevention should be 50% of the number
of worker at fastigium.
(4) Epidemic monitoring and emergency measures
Each construction unit should assign a person for preventing disease, observing the
management and reporting rules made by local sanitation department. The persons work
will be supervised by local sanitation department.
During the construction phase, epidemic situation monitoring station should be set to store
disposal medicine and equipment against the familiar epidemic disease such as phthisic,
hepatitis, dysentery and so on. Once the epidemic emergence, medical treatments such as
curing, isolating and observing must be taken to protect the sensitive group, and report to
sanitation prevention department in time.

7.7.2

Mitigation Measures of Traffic Impact

During the construction, transporting vehicle will aggravate the crowding traffic condition
of Panzhihua City, and even cause part traffic jam. Some necessary engineering and

management measures should be taken to mitigate the situation.

(1) Forbid overloaded construction vehicles, and protect roadbed, road surface and other
road facilities from destroying.
(2) Prohibit construction vehicle from over-speeding and avoid traffic accidents.
(3) Striking warning signs should be setup near the construction area, reminding drivers to
pay attention to the construction vehicles and slow down.
(4) Assign a person to assist smoothing the traffic flow in the peaking construction period,
avoiding traffic jam caused by construction.

7.8 Mitigation Measures of Environmental Impact in Resettlement

Areas
(1) The land utilization and development plans of city and suburb should be considered in
the process of putting resettlement into effect. Make sure that the construction of
resettlement area complies with local plan, and build corresponding facilities at the same
time.
(2) In order to avoid the noise impact on resettlement area caused by the close distance to
road, the resettled houses should be kept at least 15m away from road, and set green belts
in between.
(3) The living sewage produced by immigrations resettled in town will be treated together
with city sewage treatment system. Septic tank and land toilet should be built in the rural
resettlement area. The collected dejection and living sewage can be used as fertilizer.
(4) Invite public bidding for property management of resettlement areas, ensure the living
garbage be collected by the assigned person, and transported to the garbage disposal plant
of Panzhihua city for disposal.
(5) During the construction of resettlement area, water conservation work should be done
well to decrease soil erosion. The local prevention regulations on water, air and noise
pollution should be observed and avoid producing the new pollution.
(6) Social security for affected people must be ensured. The compensation fee should
include endowment insurance, unemployment compensation and professional training
charge for the rural to urban farmers.
(7) There will be some rural to urban farmers who meet the lowest line of the social
security service. The local government should allow them to enjoy the special social
security service, which is provided only to the urban citizens whose living standard is
below the average.

7.9 Mitigation for Environment Risk

7.9.1

Construction Phase

(1) Dangerous combustible, explosive and poisonous materials such as paints, fuel should
be attached warning label, marking its flammability, toxicity, physical and chemistry
characteristics and the emergent prevention measures and so on. Special person should be
assigned to keep the dangerous materials, write down the time when it is used, the person
who uses it, the quantity and so on. The leader on duty should inspect regularly, and carries

on specialized training to the keepers.

(2) Fully understand the related meteorological, hydrological and geological data, connect
with related department closely, arranges the construction time in reason, protects
buildings, excavation slope and borrow pits promptly, reducing the environmental risk loss
caused by the factors which cannot be predicted.

7.9.2

Operation Phase

There should be several agencies involved in control and response to emergent dangerous
cargo or materials transport accidents. For example, traffic and public security will be
responsible to secure the accident site and maintain social security. The transportation
authority will be responsible for ensuring permitting and inspection of trucks containing
dangerous cargo. The environmental authority should be responsible for cleanup any
contaminants released to the environment and minimize any potential damage to the
receiving water and other natural habitat. Other mitigation measures include:
(1) Packages and containers for dangerous articles will be fastened and sealed, on which
special marks and designation labels will be stamped. And the property or notice of the

Result analysis

(1) About three forth of consulted people thought that the construction of the proposed
project would improve landscape along banks of the Jinsha River. And more than half of
them thought it would improve local economy and traffic condition in Panzhihua City.
(2) The result expressed that near half of consulted people didnt know clearly the
compensation policy of land requisition and resettlement. Only 6.5 percent of them knew it
in detail. So suggestions were brought forward for local government and owner to
reinforce publication and pay attention to information disclosure.
(3) The result indicated that most consulted people paid attention to impacts on water
environment, ambient air and traffic during construction phase, and also construction
noise.
(4) About 39 percent of consulted people thought that the construction would bring
positive impact on local eco-environment and near 55% thought it has adverse impact
(including little, common and serious). But most of them believed that impact on local ecoenvironment by construction could be mitigated partly or completely.
(5) About 61% of consulted people thought that the project could improve living quality,
and 84% thought its benefit is more than harm. At the same time, 86 percent wished the

project would be constructed as soon as possible.

(6) Opinion and advice of consulted people during construction and operation phases was
concluded as follows:
1) During construction phase more attention must be paid to residents around. To achieve
this, construction efficiency should be improved as possible, and working hours must be
set reasonably. So traffic jam may be avoided and the impact on peoples rest at night can
be reduced.
2) Environmental improvement project along the Jinsha River is related to the whole
development of Panzhihua city. It can decrease pollution source of the Jinsha River and
improve water quality. Attention must be paid to greenning project and traffic plan after the
Bingren Road is completed;
3) Do more review and do more study. More measures must be adopted as possible to
protect environment and reduce pollution, and to mitigate adverse impact on ecoenvironment.
4) Long-term plan must be constituted, and master plan must be considered. Combining
with the plan of landscape garden city and the most excellent tourism city in China, the
characteristics such as ecology, ethnic and environment protection must be given
prominence to. The project must be in harmony with environment all around.
5) The project should be constructed as soon as possible, and the mode of democratic
decision-making, public consultation questionnaire, should be realized practically.

Problem resolution

According to problems and advices concerned by public, mitigation measures and

monitoring plan of water, ambient air and acoustic environment were given in the EIA
report. Also management organizations and system of implementing environmental
protection was brought forward, in order to guarantee environment protection and the
project construction to start at the same time. So the EIA report answered the basic
questions concerned by public.
During the phase of pre-evaluation, two copies of the questionnaires had indifferent
attitude toward the project. According to project site investigation and verification, the two
consulted persons had no rejection to the project. So no residents held opponent opinion in
questionnaires.
The investigation shows that about 48.9% persons didnt know cleary the compensating
policy of land requisition, demolition, and resettlement. Information disclosure must be
strengthened to make public know more about the project and the related policies in latter
work. More opinion and advice must be absorbed in order to do a better job.

9.3 Information disclosure

Disclosure of the project information was realized through local newspaper, including

Panzhihua Daily and Panzhihua Evening on 16th, September, 17th September, and 18th
September. The draft EA reports are placed in project management office for public review.
For further information, please refer to Appendix 11.

10 Conclusions and Recommendations

10.1 Analysis of project rationality
Due to the topography and historical reasons, the environment pollution in Panzhihua is
serious. The steel slags and building rubbish are dumped along the riverbanks, causing
erosion and pollution on the the Jinsha River water qulity. The urban road network cannot
satisfy the demand of the production development, city expansion and trffic demand
growth. The developmetn of tertiary industry and secondary industry is unbalanced, while
the GDP growth has been achieved with the cost of resource squandering and environment
pollution.
The project can improve the water quality of the Jinsha River, beautify Panzhihua City,
improve traffic condition and eco-environment, promote the optimization of industry
structure and offer new development space for Panzhihua. So the proposed project meets
with the master plan and the traffic plan of Panzhihua City.
The project consists of environment improvement project along the Jinsha River and the
last section of Bingren Road. Multiplicate alternative schemes have been proposed for each
subproject during the design phase. The analysis on the alternative schemes shows that the
proposed schemes are rational from the view of environmental protection.

10.2 Assessment conclusion of environmental status

Panzhihua city is located in the valley of the Jinsha River, belonging to southwest
mountainous area of Sichuan Province. The mountains, hills and valleys are crisscross. The
river vally is deep slotting, the terrain is rugged and the elevation difference exists largely.
The region is located in the center of the climatic region of the Jinsha River valley. The
climate is hot and dry. The sunshine is abundant, and temperature diference is large in one
day but small in the whole year. The annual difference of the precipitation of Panzhihua
City is relatively large and the precipitation distributes unevenly within a year. The
difference between dry and wet season is obvious, and the evaporation capacity is great.
The climate is comparatively dry in the whole year.
The soil erosion type is mainly sheet erosion and gully ersion, accompanied with
gravititional erosion, such as partial landslide and debris flow. The most serious soil
erosion takes place along the Jinsha River, while the banks of the Yalong River and the
Anning River are secondary. The area of soil erosion of the whole city is 4247.61 km2
which accounts 57.13 percent of the total. The annual soil erosion quantity is 13,219,000 t.
The wild animal species are extremely rich within the boundaries of Panzhihua. The zonal
vegetation is evergreen broad-leaved forest. According to the project site investigation,
there are no rare or precious wild animals and vegetation in the project region.
Panzhihua is a heavy industrial city. In the region, water environment has been polluted,
and the ambient air and acoustic quality is a little bad. The soil erosion along the Jinsha
River is serious.
In summary, limited by unique topography, natural condition and historical influence, there
exists environmental problems in Panzhihua, and sustainable development of economy has
been restricted. However, theres no important environmental problem that restrict the
construction of the proposed project.

10.3 Assessment conclusion of the environmental impact

According to the characteristics during construction and operation phase, and the analysis
on environmental status, the impact on environment brought by the project consists of
positive and adverse impact.

10.3.1 Main positive impact

The environment impact benefit brought by the proposed project mainly includes
landscape benefit, social benefit, environment benefit and economic benefit.
The environment improvement project along the Jinsha River will clear away the scattered
construction slags along the river, and protect the riverside industrial solid waste. It can
effectively prevent the river to be polluted by man made rubbish and industrial solid waste.
It can also reduce the soil erosion in the Jinsha River basin and protect water environment
of the Jinsha River. At the same time, it will beautify the urban environment, improve the
city image and environment.
The construction of the upper section of Binjiang Road and the last section of Bingren
Road will relax traffic tension in the city, improve traffic condition, and indirectly facilitate
the economic and social development of Panzhihua. Moreover, due to the construction of
the last section of Bingren Road, city space will be widened. It can create condition for the
tertiary industry development and economic structure optimization. After the construction
of the Bingren Road, the price of the land along the road will rise. This is favourable to
activize land assets and finance to payback the WB loan. Besides, during the operation
phase, the city traffic will be smoother, the motor vehicle speed will be higher, and total
exhaust emissions may be reduced for the same traffic flow. Thus it will have positive
impact on ambient air quality.
The project construction will perfect the sewage collecting system of Bingcaogang WWTP,
and avoid the water pollution caused by scattered sewage discharge. In summary, the
project will act a positive role in improving water quality of the Jinsha River.

10.3.2 Main adverse impact and mitigation measures

The forecast results of water, ambient air, acoustic, social, and ecology environment show
that, the adverse impact is mainly caused by construction and operation of roads, and all
the impact would be mitigated by environmental protection measures.
(1) Impact during construction phase
The construction of the project will cause 441 households and 1111 people resettling, and
their original production system will be destroyed. This will have adverse impact on
planting and partial economic income. During construction phase, waste water, exhaust
gas, solide waste and noise will affect the environmental quality, especially the residential
areas in the affected range. The noise during construction period mainly comes from the
construction machines and vehicle transportation in such activities as excavating, drilling,
explosion, concrete mixing and so on. According to the forecast results, the impact on
sensitive spots brought by asphalt smoke is small, but flying dust will affect ambient air
seriously. During construction phase, some construction activities such as excavation,
waste dumping and land occupying temporarily will destroy the original landform and

vegetation, and lead partial soil erosion possibly.

(2) Impact brought by operation of the proposed roads
During the road operation period, the vehicles will affect the acoustic environment along
the roads, and disturb their normal living of residents along the roads. Therefore, several
feasible mitigation measures should be adopted.
(3) Main environmental mitigation measures
According to the adverse impact, corresponding protection measures about mitigating
impact on water, air, acoustics, ecology environment, resettlement, traffic and others will
be adopted. For instances, compensation and resettlement for occupied lands will be
adopted to insure resettlements living and production standard improved or not below than
their original level at least. The waste water of concrete mixing will be treated before
discharging or back-used. Other living sewage during operation phase will be sent to the
citys municipal treatment system. In the construction region, measures include sprinkling
and maintaining roads will be adopted. Traffic control will be strengthened and vehicle
speed will be limited. Noise-isolated glasses will be fixed for the sensitive spots which the
noise exceeds the standard value. The living rubbish will be sent to the dedicated municipal
disposal site of Panzhihua. Engineering and plant measures will be adopted to prevent soil
erosion. On the other hand, environmental management and monitoring plan will be
established, insuring each environmental mitigating measure could be put into effect.

10.3.3 Compositive assessment conclusion

In summary, theres no environmental factor that restrict the construction of the project. On
the contrary, the project to be built will create positive impacts on environment, and its
social and economic benefits are evident. The adverse impact may be mitigated or avoided
by corresponding environmental mitigationg measures and water and soil conservation
measures that put forward in this EIA report. As a whole, the adverse impact is small
comparatively. Therefore, from the view of the environmental protection, the proposed
project is feasible.

10.4 Recommendations
(1) Carry out the resettlement plan strictly and insure resettlements living standard not
below than their original level.
(2) Strengthen environmental management during construction phase, and mitigate the air
and acoustic pollution as far as possible.
(3) During construction phase, all of the environmental mitigating measure should be
implemented strictly according to the EIA report.
