Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
1 General Introduction
1 1.1 Project BackgroundLaibin city was approved by the State Council as a prefecture-level city in
December 2002, and it has administrative jurisdiction over one city and four counties. Located between the east longitude 108°24′~110°28′ and the north latitude 23°16′~24°29′, and with the east-west transverse distance of 202.1km and the north-south longitudinal distance of 134.3km, Laibin City covers an area of 13,400 km2. Located on the connecting area between the provinces in southwest and central China and the southern coast of China, it borders Liuzhou, Guilin and Hechi city in the north, Wuzhou, Guilin and Guigang city in the east, Hechi and Nanning city in the west and Guigang and Nanning city in the south. Its population was 2.5 million in 2010. Since it became a prefecture-level city in 2002, its urban population increased to 270,000 from 120,000, and its urban area increased to 29km2 from 18km2, showing very fast development.
However, there is not yet effective flood control and drainage system and non-structural measures in the main urban areas of Laibin city. Frequent flood disasters have caused great impacts on local economic and social development and people’s living. There were 36 recorded flood disasters over the 916 years from 996 to 1911. Eight years suffered from flood disasters over the 38 years from 1912 to 1949. After the founding of People’s Republic of China in 1949, Laibin main urban area suffered from flood disaster in 1988 and 1994. Within the 17 hours from 20:00 on May 31 to 13:00 on June 1, 2010, the precipitation in Laibin urban area was 439mm (the recorded maximum 24-hour precipitation was 311mm before 2010). 9.45km2 of urban areas were flooded, accounting for 32% of total built-up area. 11,000 houses were flooded and 51,000 people were affected. 23 streets suffered from waterlogging of 0.3m to 1.5m. Waterlogging caused RMB 150 million direct economic losses.
After the issue of the Decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to Speed up Water Conservancy Reform and Development (No. 1 document of the year) in 2011, the central government held the work conference on water conservancy on July 8~9, 2011. It was highlighted on the conference that it is the urgent need to speed up water conservancy reform and development, for it not only helps to transform the pattern of economic development, build a conservation-oriented and environment-friendly society, protect and improve people's livelihood, promote social harmony and stability, but also helps to address global climate change and to prevent natural disasters.
The flood control system for the main urban area has not been well established in Laibin city. Parts of the embankment height along the south and north banks of Hongshui River and the east bank of Beizhijiang River can not withstand the flood of one in ten years. The sluice gates (pump stations) for flood control and drainage purpose have not been built at the mouths of the inland rivers such as Caoxiegou Canal and Shizheng Canal. The existing flood drainage pipeline network on the old

urban area was built in the 1980s. Without scientific planning at the time, it was built according to a low standard featuring narrow pipeline, mixed flow of storm water and sewage. It even depends on natural karst caves or underground rivers drainage for gravity drainage of flood in some areas. In a word, the existing flood drainage pipeline network lags far behind the demand for urban development and it proves to be very vulnerable in withstand flood hazards. Frequent and serious flood hazard in its main urban area has become a serious threat for Laibin city since it became a prefecture-level city 10 years ago. The urban area is very likely to suffer from waterlogging in case of heavy rainfall in a short term. Short-term heavy rainfall often causes serious flood in the urban area and results in great losses. With rapid economic development and its urban development, the Laibin urban area is playing increasingly important roles. A same degree of flood can cause even greater losses. It becomes urgent needs to improve the capacity of the urban area for flood control and drainage.
The project is a very important infrastructure project for Laibin city to maintain social stability, protect people’s life and properties and protect its economic achievements. The CPC Laibin committee and the municipal government decide to take this opportunity to address the flood hazards in the urban area and to improve the comprehensive flood control capacity for its inland rivers in a fundamental way. The project construction conforms to the fundamental interests of the urban residents.
To improve the flood control and drainage capacity and enhance the management of stormwater in its urban area, Laibin municipal government decides to apply the loans from the World Bank to fund the construction of Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project. In this report, the project investment is estimated as RMB 790.15 million (incl. RMB 80 million of compensations for land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement), including RMB 490.4678 million for the construction and installation costs. Based on its construction plan, this project will be jointly funded by the World Bank and Laibin municipal government. It is planned to apply for USD 80 million from the World Bank, and the remaining will be raised and funded by Laibin municipal government.
The construction contents for this project include building or upgrading dikes for Hongshui River, Beizhijiang River and Longdong River and Class II flood control dam on Caoxiegou Canal; building flood control sluice gates and drainage pump stations on Caoxiegou Canal, Shizheng Canal, Modong Canal, Shuiyun Canal, Xiangyang Road and Longdong River; building check gates on Laihua Canal and Caoxiegou Canal; Caoxiegou Canal ecological rehabilitation; building stormwater and sewage pipeline network on the old urban area.
The Water Environment Integrated Treatment Plan for Jiangbei (North Bank of Hongshui River) Central Urban Area of Laibin City will be implemented with the construction of Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project. The construction of flood control sluice gates, drainage pump stations and flood control dikes will help to

improve the flood control and drainage capacity of the urban areas, reduce losses of flood and waterlogging disasters, protect the safety of people’s lives and properties and promote the harmonious and sound social development. The sewage interception and rehabilitation of original water system will improve the self-purification capacity of water body. This project will help improve water quality of the rivercourse, rehabilitate the rivercourse ecological environment and improve the functions of water system and carrying capacity of water environment. It will also improve the living environment, investment environment, competitiveness and image of the city and it is good for the coordinated development between the environment and society and economy. After the treatment, the living environment and the ecological environment of the city will be greatly improved. The project construction will create a beautiful and ecologically harmonious water-front landscape belt with rich local ethnic characteristics. As a basis of sustainable living environment in the city, it is very good for the sustainable development of Laibin City. The development strategy implemented by Laibin City is to build itself into a city with good environment, developed industries, sound urban construction, stable agricultural development, and prosperous commerce and trade. This project construction will create favorable conditions for the implementation of this development strategy.1.2 Objectives of Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is developed for mitigating the inevitable environmental impacts produced by the project, proposing technically feasible, financially sustainable and practically workable environmental measures, defining impact mitigation measures, environmental management rationale, suggesting institutional strengthening measures and arrangements for contractors, supervision agencies, operators, environmental management departments during construction and operation, so as to ensure remedial actions for the mitigation of the adverse impacts generated by the project on society and environment and to reduce the impact to an acceptable level. Its specific objectives include:
(1) Define environmental management obligations of contractors and operators
Laibin Environmental Protection Bureau, the EA institutes and design institutes will be responsible for detailed checks and confirmation of the targets of environmental protection, and for proposing effective environmental mitigation measures that would be included in the project design and incorporated into the contractual obligations for contractors and operators.
(2) Provide operational guidelines for environmental management
An environmental monitoring plan proposed in EMP for the periods of construction and operation could ensure the effective implementation of environmental mitigation measures. It will serve as the environmental protection document to be provided to construction supervision agencies, environmental monitoring institutes and other relevant agencies during construction and operation.

Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
Responsibilities and roles of relevant functional departments and management agencies, and channels and methods for the communication among various departments, are defined clearly in the environmental monitoring plan.
(3) Guarantee the cost for environmental management
EMP estimates the costs for environmental management, environmental supervision and capacity building, and indicates the sources of funds ensuring the environmental management actions to be implemented, in which, the management fees have included labor cost and operation and transportation expenses.
The role of EMP is to avoid and/or control environmental impacts during implementation of the project and operation of constructed facilities, and to propose such necessary approaches as mitigation measures, monitoring measures, legal and regulatory means and safeguards for the measures above. The EMP acts as a key link between environmental impacts and mitigation measures and alternative measures assessed and described in detail in EA. In EMP, the technological contents, cost estimation, implementation plan, government’s functions, sources of funds and monitoring plan are specified for each environmental management measure. In order to achieve the objective of pollution reduction, the approach proposed in EA report and EMP must be implemented
1.3 Preparation of EMP
The consolidated EMP submitted to the World Bank is prepared by the Research Academy of Environmental Protection Sciences of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GRAEPS) and based on the following documents:
(1)Consolidated EA
(2)Project Resettlement Plan
(3)Feasibility Study Reports for Subcomponents
1.4 Design of EMP
While describing in details such contents as environmental mitigation measures, environmental management, supervision and monitoring activities, the EMP is designed as a guiding document for environmental management during the implementation of the project, including the followings:
Environmental impact and mitigation measures – to identify major environmental impacts generated during construction and operation and to propose the engineering and management measures to prevent or mitigate adverse environmental impacts potentially produced by the Project;

There are total 3 earth material yards near the project areas, namely, Xigualing earth material yard, Hualou earth material yard and Jianmaling earth material yard.
3.5.3 Water and Electricity Supply for Construction
The project is located in the urban area and has access to water supply and power supply. The urban tap water can be directly connected for construction use. There is also power supply near the construction areas. Temporary transformers can be installed and separate power lines can be connected for construction use.
3.5.4 Construction Diversion
3.5.4.1 Diversion Standards and Periods
The grade of main structures of this project is Grade 2, and that for diversion structures is Grade 4. Based on the Specifications for Construction Planning of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering (SL303-2004), the design flood standard for diversion structures is determined as once in every 10 years, and the period of diversion is selected in dry season from November to March of following year.
3.5.4.2 Diversion Methods and Buildings
Based on the flood characteristics of the watershed and the geographical conditions of the rehabilitation section, the dike foots of this project are located in a high elevation, and the construction can be carried out in dry conditions in most sections. Temporary cofferdam is only necessary for the construction of sluice gates in the canal and the rubber dam. The earth-rock cofferdam will be adopted, and the excavated materials will become the filling materials for the cofferdam. The crest level of the cofferdam will be 0.5m higher than the low water level and have a crest width of 2m. The slope gradient is 1:2 on both sides. 5200m3 of earth materials will be needed for the cofferdam filling.
3.5.5 Construction of Main Works
3.5.5.1 Dike Enhancement and Slope Protection Engineering Construction
(1) Dike Enhancement
The earth filling material for dike enhancement will come mainly from the earth stock ground. The overall construction procedures will start from the ground to the crest of the dike, and the construction will be carried out in flow process along the direction of earth-borrowing in different sections. Massive foundation clearing will be carried out by 74kW bulldozers or 1.0m3 backdiggers. Scattered filling surfaces,

Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
ditches, slope with gradient of more than 1:3, and slope angles will be cleared with assistance of labor power. Given that the unit filling engineering quantities are small and the construction surfaces are narrow in most sections of the dikes, layered filling will be mainly carried out by 74kW crawler bulldozers for leveling and compaction. For the sections with the filling width of less than 3.5m, the frog-type ramming or artificial ramming are required.
(2) Stone Masonry Retaining Wall
The stonework will be fully carried out by labor power. The mortar needed for stone masonry will be mixed on the site by the 0.25m3 mixer or labor power and transported to the construction sites with barrows. The mortar will be mixed according to related construction specifications. The stone will be laid with the mortar sealed in between, and it is not allowed to lay the stone without any mortar in between. The dry stone will be laid in separate frames. The cushion layer will be paved by labor power before the stone is laid. The cushion layer of the slope will be laid by labor power from down to top. The protection foundation should be laid vertically with square rock blocks in break joints. Large rock blocks should be laid in the foundation, edges and top of slope protection. The surface of stonework should be flat and its thickness should meet related design and specification requirements.
(3) Turf Slope Protection
The turf slope protection will be carried out with three-dimensional geogrid turf after the completion of each section of rivercourse or dike from early autumn to the spring of the following year. Fine varieties of turf should be selected and must grow well in local climate conditions. In general, the turfs should have strong adaptability to the soil and environment, and they should be resistant to salinity,alkalin, cold, drought and waterlogging and have strong root system. Regarding the construction, the three-dimensional geogrid will be first laid on the surface, and then the turfs or the grass seed will be placed on the geogrids. No matter which method is applied, the turfs or grass seed need careful maintenance after construction to increase their survival rate.
3.5.6 Building Construction
3.5.6.1 Earthwork Construction
The earthwork excavation of foundation pit for sluice gates and pump stations will be carried out with backdiggers and dump truck. The excavation of protection layer of construction base surface and other surfaces that are not suitable for machinery excavation will be carried out by labor power with the assistance of rubber-tired vehicles. The earth filling mainly refers to backfilling of foundation pit, and the earth will be from excavated earth. The sections that are close to the structures will be leveled and compacted by labor power. For the sections with the filling width of less than 3.5m, the frog-type ramming or artificial ramming are

required. The remaining areas will be compacted in different layers by 74kW crawler bulldozers.
The stone excavation is mainly located in the foundation of building structures. The stone will be drilled with pneumatic drill and will be excavated in layers. The 1m construction base surface will be excavated as the protection layer. The stone will be drilled with pneumatic drill and be exploded with a small amount of dynamite to make it loose, and it is then excavated with labor power. The ballast will be excavated with excavator and transported to the soil pit with 8t dump truck.
3.5.6.2 Concrete Pouring
Based on the volume of concrete pouring needed for the construction, a 50m3/h mixing station and 0.8m3 mixer will be set up. The mixing station should be will be located near the single building that needs a large amount of concrete pouring. The concrete will be transported to the pouring site through concrete pump, dump truck and concrete container. The 1t diesel dumper will be used to transport the concrete in some areas, with the assistance of barrow and chute for concrete pouring. Regarding the concrete pouring for temporary construction, scattered concrete pouring and the narrow area that requires small amount of concrete pouring, the concrete will be prepared in the nearest concrete mixer and transported by the 1t diesel dumper and barrow. The concrete will be compacted with the plug-in concrete vibrator.
3.5.6.3 Stonework Construction
The stonework construction will start after the corresponding foundation pit is excavated and will have to complete before the rainy season. The mortar needed for stone masonry will be mixed on the site by the 0.25m3 mixer or labor power and transported to the construction sites with barrows. The mortar will be mixed according to related construction specifications. The stone will be laid with the mortar sealed in between, and it is not allowed to lay the stone without any mortar in between. The dry stone will be laid in separate frames. The cushion layer will be paved by labor power before the stone is laid. The cushion layer of the slope will be laid by labor power from down to top. The protection foundation should be laid vertically with square rock blocks in break joints. Large rock blocks should be laid in the foundation, edges and top of slope protection. The surface of stonework should be flat and its thickness should meet related design and specification requirements.
3.5.6.4 Equipment Installation
The sluice gates should be the finished products prepared by qualified manufactors, and they should be transported as a whole or in great mechanical parts to the construction sites for installation or assembly. The sluice gates should be prefabricated by the manufactors and assembled on the site. The embedded parts of the sluice gates will be embedded together with the concrete pouring for the gate pier. The manufactors should be required to supply the sluice gates in advance so as

Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
to ensure the progress of the construction process.
3.5.7 Construction of Pipeline Network
Since most of the sewage pipelines for this project have a small pipe diameter and are buried shallow, the open excavation construction can be considered for it will not pose too much impacts on the traffic on the roads. Some sewage pipelines are buried about 6m deep, and the pipe jacking construction is recommended for the open excavation construction will pose too impacts on the surrounding environment. The pipe jacking construction will also be applied when the pipelines pass through the national highway or rivercourse. Some sewage pipelines need to be buried beneath the existing roads that will not have road upgrading. To reduce the impacts on the house demolition and traffic, the trenchless technology can be applied to lay underground pipe line with the method of towing the pipes. The construction should be carried out by strictly following the Code for Construction and Acceptance of Water and Sewage Pipeline Works (GB50268-2008), and the close water test will be required.
Given the high elevation of the underground water, to prevent the penetration of underground water into the sewage pipelines through intercepting wells and inspection wells, the chambers of the intercepting wells and inspection wells should be poured with reinforced steel concrete. The well bores should be laid with bricks and their surrounding area should be backfilled with clay to be above the underground water level.
3.5.8 Construction of Road Rehabilitation
The existing Heshan Road is an important road running from the south to north in main urban area of Laibin city. Xinxing Road is a secondary main road in the main urban area. During the construction of road upgrading, efforts should be made to minimize the impacts on the vehicles and ensure the normal transit of vehicles. Therefore, the construction sequence should be arranged in a reasonable manner, and the road traffic should be managed and organized in an orderly and effective manner by making full use of existing road resources during the construction period.
During the upgrading construction of Heshan Road and Xinxing Road, the vehicles can be diverted to the parallel Zhongnan Road and Liulai Road and other roads that connect with Heshan Road such as Qianwei Road, Beiyi Road, Bei’er Road and Beisi Road. In addition, noticeable marks should be placed in the nearby road intersections to help achieve the traffic diversion in an orderly way. The selection of construction sequence and construction methods should take into consideration of traffic demands on the existing roads. The half-range construction method is often used in the similar road rehabilitation construction.
There are many intersections on Heshan Road, and some roads have large traffic flow. The traffic diversion plans and road occupation application for construction should be reported to the traffic police department and related municipal

department for approval before they are implemented. When the underground pipelines and the surface engineering are constructed, the application for traffic diversion can be submitted to the traffic police department, and the traffic diversion can be implemented upon approval. The half-range construction method is recommended for it can ensure the traffic flow on the other half range of the road during the construction. On some of the access roads that have a small traffic flow, the traffic can be diverted to other roads to ensure smooth traffic flow on the existing roads.
3.5.9 Construction Machinery
Major construction machinery include excavators, bulldozers, vibrating roller, road roller, trucks (including dump truck), concrete mixer and mortar mixer etc. Different types of machinery are selected based on the construction requirements. The allocation of construction machinery will be based on parallel construction.
3.5.10 General Construction Layout
The construction sites of different project components can be arranged separately.
(1) Layout of Construction Roads
External traffic: The project is located in the Laibin urban area. Liuzhou-Nanning Expressway, Zhijiang Road, Pangu Avenue, Guizhong Avenue, Weilin Avenue and Hongshuihe Avenue are located near the construction sites. Therefore, it has very convenient transportation.
Internal traffic: The construction sites have good connection to the urban arterial roads. The internal roads are laid on the planned urban road. They are short in distance and can be used after basic treatment. However, temporary construction roads need to be built along the interception sewage pipelines and flushing water pipelines.
(2) Construction Camps
The construction production and residential camps will be built separately in different bidding sections. The residential camps should be located in a high place within the scope of bidding sections. The construction camps should include residential and office facilities, construction processing plant, construction warehouse, simple maintenance station and other construction auxiliary facilities.
(3) Balance of Earthwork Excavation and Filling
To reduce the engineering costs, the excavated earthwork should be backfilled on the sites. Based on the characteristics of different building structures and corresponding construction periods, the earth filling for rivercourse treatment, sewage interception engineering, flushing water engineering, temporary construction roads and temporary cofferdam should be backfilled with the earth materials

Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
excavated from the same construction sites. The spoil (excluding the earth materials that can not be utilized such as sludge) can be backfilled on the rivercourse outside the planned red lines. The surplus spoil and other unutilized earth materials will be transported to the waste slag site for landfill.
(4) Spoil Ground
A total of 376,000 m3 of earthwork will be excavated , of which 56,400 m3 can be reused for backfilling, 321,000 m3 are spoil. The spoil will be transported to the low lying area near Guizhong Avenue for disposal. Parts of the sludge will be reused for landscaping and the rest will be transported to Laibin Waste Landfill for disposal.
3.5.11 Overall Construction Schedule
The arrangement of construction schedule should take into consideration of national conditions of the construction sites, the relationship between the construction procedures and spatial arrangement of separate engineering, so as to ensure the equal consistency of engineering construction, reasonable allocation of construction machinery and labor power, as well as the implementing agency’s requirements on the construction period.
The implementation of project construction is composed of three phases, namely, the preparation period, main structure construction period and completion period. The temporary construction roads, production and residential facilities need to complete during the preparation period. The main structural construction includes earthwork excavation and backfill, newly-built slope protection, revetment, pump station, sluice gates and rubber dam. The tailing in work will be completed in the completion period, including site clearing and processing of data.
Based on actual situations and the advice of the implementing agency, the construction period of this project is determined as 2 years, which starts from early November 2012 to the end of October 2014.

4 Environmental Management Systems
According to the Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Regulations on the Administration of Construction Project Environmental Protection, the review and approval responsibility for the Environmental Assessment Report falls on the Laibin Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) which is also responsible for the environmental management of this project. Laibin EPB’s responsibilities are mainly setting out environmental protection requirements based on the EA reports of the project, making coordination between different departments on environmental management, and responsible for organizing the inspection and acceptance of implementation of the “three simultaneous” system of environmental protection facilities. Within the overall administrative framework of the project, the Laibin PMO is authorized by the Laibin Municipal government to be fully responsible for the management of the implementation of the project. Under the PMO, the IA are responsible for the physical implementation of the subcomponents respectively. To guarantee the smooth implementation of the EMP of the project, Laibin PMO, IAs, contractors and operators will designate full-time or part-time personnel to be responsible for the environmental management and to concretely implement the EMP.
4.1 Environmental Management Institutions Due to significant differences in environmental management between
construction period and operation period, such work can be divided into temporary one and chronic one in nature. The contractors and operators, in line with the division, will establish their own management institutions and will be held liable for phase-based responsibilities. Upon the construction period concludes, the corresponding institutions will be dismissed and those ones in charge of the operation period will start to work. Sometimes, to accomplish certain specific tasks, the overlapping of functions will happen between the two kinds of institutions. Please see Chart 4.1-1 for the Project’s Environmental Management Institutional Framework.

5 Potential Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Most of the environmental impacts caused by this Project will take place during the construction period, due to construction tasks, external traffic, construction machinery, land use for construction, constructors and disposal of slag. Major pollutants include construction waste water, noise, waste gas, solid waste and negative impacts on the water environment, acoustic environment and air, water and soil erosion, people’s health and ecological environment of the surrounding areas. As for all the subcomponents of project construction, special environmental protection measures will be adopted correspondingly. Please see Annex 1 for the Common Environmental Protection Measures.
While during the operation period, major pollutants will be domestic waste water
and solid waste from surrounding households, which will be discharged to rivers and
waters. With respect to this Project, during its operation period, no waste water,
waste gas and solid waste will be discharged, which will merely have negative impact
on the environment. Construction behaviors will be conducted based on the existing
project, so it will cause significant impact on the ecological stability of this area. After
the flood control dams are built, as time goes on, the parts of ecological environment
that have been impacted during the construction period will be rehabilitated
gradually.

6 Environmental Monitoring Plan
6.1 Monitoring Objectives
Environmental monitoring involves two periods, namely the construction period and the operation period. Its objectives are: i) to timely have the overall dynamic pollution information of the proposed projects; ii) to understand the extent of changes of environmental quality and the extent of impacts in the project areas caused by the project construction; iii) to understand the dynamic environmental quality during operation; and iv) to make timely feedbacks to superintended authorities so as to provide scientific underpins for the project environmental management.
6.2 Environmental Monitoring Institutions
Contractors or operators will entrust Environmental Monitoring Stations in Nanning to undertake environmental monitoring tasks during construction and operation respectively. The entrusted institutions are those that have been certified by national authorities in respect of environmental quality monitoring and with complete equipments and sufficient technical expertise, thus ensuring an appropriate fulfillment of the undertaken monitoring tasks.
Based on the projected results of the EA, the environmental monitoring is to make follow-up monitoring of pollutions during construction and operation, the concerned sensitive points that might probably have obvious pollutions will be selected as monitoring points. Monitoring items can cover areas that might have relatively great impacts on the environment, namely noises, ambient air and surface water environment. The selection of monitoring factors can be made based on the pollution characteristics of specific project. Relevant monitoring analytical methodologies defined in Technical Specifications for Environmental Monitoring issued by National EPA shall be applied respectively. Executed assessment standards will be national standards confirmed in the EA report of each subcomponent.
Detailed key approaches for effective monitoring of activities on construction sites are summarized in the Table 6.2-1.

8 Cost Estimates for Environmental Management and Financial
Sources
8.1 Budget Distribution
The implementation of the measures defined in EMP will involve plenty of units, thus the funds for implementation are sourced variously. An absolute majority of the environmental protection activities are launched through project measures, therefore, the construction contractors and project operators should be responsible for the financial resources and include the same into the cost of their project estimation and make detailed breakdowns in the tender documents.
The budget for EMP is mainly used for the environmental management during construction and operation periods, including costs for environmental monitoring, environmental supervision, personnel training, and operational costs for environmental management institutions. Costs for prevention of risks should also be included in some of the sub-components. Costs for EMC’s activities, water quality and atmosphere monitoring, noise pollution monitoring, and the costs for CSEE and EESI, are covered under financial arrangements for international project management of PMO and IAs. Costs of monitoring and supervision activities of CSEE form a part of the costs for construction and supervision. Local monitoring stations will be responsible for the monitoring of water quality, atmospheric quality and noise pollution as per the requirements defined in the contract entrusted by IAs and the IAs will bear the monitoring costs. The routine monitoring data of environmental protection departments are applicable for the project if the activities of routine monitoring of local environmental protection departments are executed in synchronization with the implementation of the project.
8.2 Financial Sources and EMP Budget
Table 8.2-1 summarized the costs for environmental management during construction and operation.
According to the time span of project implementation, it must be guaranteed that the annual budget for project interim payments has included a certain amount of deposits allocated for guaranteeing complete compliances in respect of relevant management requirements for the construction contractors and operators. Table 8.2-2 lists the weighing for deposits of different activities which is to apply as a rate and to be incorporated into the sum of construction contracts.

residential area. Pitch-generated devices should be set up at least 1000m far from
residential area. At the same time, the layout should be approved by the project
engineer.
The constructors make sure to set up construction sites, warehouses, diesel &pitch
storage sites as well as pitch-generated devices at least 500m far from rivers. Also,
the constructors should prevent pollutant running into rivers in the operation time,
especially prevent its running through land or surface water in rainy seasons.
Recycling lubricants, digging channels round the sites and setting up sedimentation
tanks or oil-collecting grooves are necessary.
During the molding of building materials, the construction staff is forbidden to use
wood to heat up the fuel.
2.4Solid Waste Management and Water and Soil Erosion
Solid waste and harmful waste can be controlled effectively by implementing the
following measures.
2.4.1 Solid Waste Management
1) Reduce the generation of waste which needs to be disposed and cleared away.
2) Identify and categorize the waste. If hazardous waste is generated, it should be
stored, collected, transported and disposed according to properly procedures.
3) Identify and divide disposal area as well as clearly indicate what kind of materials
and substances are allowed to be stored.
4) Waste generated during construction(including the excavated soil) should be
transported to designated places for stacking and disposal(at least 300m far from
rivers, brooks, ditches, lakes or wetlands).In the designated place, set up solid waste
recycling and separating/categorizing system to dispose waste, scrap metals, used
oil and other remaining building materials generated during construction.
2.4.2 Control of Water and Soil Erosion
Minimize the utilization and damage to the land, reinforce damaged areas as soon as
possible, manage areas for drainage and dispose sediments on sites. Screen for
erosion control should be set up around dug holes, dug wells and road surface.
Environmental Protection Research Academy of Guangxi. P.R. China Add: 5 Jiaoyu Road Nanning Guangxi Tel:0771-5331497 Postcode:530022
54
Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
Protect the leaf litter and its organic matter on the topsoil, which can be backfilled to
the damaged area so as to facilitate the growth of local plants.
Cover eroded barren area with local grasses and vegetation, or conduct hardening
treatment to the soil surface in the region.
Implement erosion control measures well before rainy seasons, in order to better
carry out the following construction. When each construction site completes its
engineering, erosion control measures should be ready.
Sedimentation control facilities, including stockpiles, stone roads, settling basins,
bales of straw, shrubs fences, slag mucks and etc., should be set up on all
construction sites to slow down runoff, convert flow directions and deposited
sediments before vegetations recover.
Prevent waterflow from running into construction sites or disturbing the work by
setting up gutterways, berms, grass fences, stone-stackings and etc.
Keep doing erosion control until vegetations recover completely.
If necessary, sprinkle the earth roads, excavated places, filler and soil-deposited
areas to reduce wind erosion.
2.4.3 Protection Areas
Identify and divide protection areas for equipments (at least 15m far from rivers,
brooks, lakes or wetlands).Fuel should be stored in proper places and approved by
the project engineer.
Make sure all equipments can be only used in the divided protection areas; it is
forbidden to pour out the used oil on the ground, or into the water body, drainage
system or sewers.
All overflow and collected oils should be disposed based on standard environmental
procedures or guidance. Areas for fuel storage and backfilling should be set up 300m
far from the crossing of drainage structures and important water body, or under the
guidance of the project engineer.
2.5 Civil Works Engineering and Slope Excavation and Filling Engineering
Arrange civil works engineering properly especially in rainy seasons. During the
Environmental Protection Research Academy of Guangxi. P.R. China Add: 5 Jiaoyu Road Nanning Guangxi Tel:0771-5331497 Postcode:530022
55
Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
construction, slope excavation and filling should be kept firmly and minimize the
impacts on other places outside the restricted area of construction. Especially in rainy
seasons, continuous construction is necessary, in order to finish excavation and
filling engineering for the same sections as soon as possible. Try to avoid
construction suspension due to raining or other reasons, which will cause slope
erosion.
To prevent slope excavation and filling from erosion, catchwater and drain should be
built on the top and the bottom of slop surface according to engineering drawings.
Besides, grass and other plants should be planted. Catchwater ought to be built
above the excavated slop surface so as to reduce the erosion by runoff.
The soil and rocks generated from excavation and other waste materials should be
transported to designated places for disposal after the project engineer agrees.
Disposal places can not be set up in the places which have potential landslides, and
the disposal places should not affect other farmland or private land; meanwhile, the
stackings should not be washed into surface water body by rain water. Build up
drains around stacking places under the guidance of the project engineer.
2.6 Borrowing Earth and Borrowing Area
When the constructors open up new borrowing area on the earth’s surface, in the
river or the used land, they should get the approval from the project engineer.
Borrowing area should not be located in the place that may damage natural or
designed drainage facility. Borrowing area in riverway should not be located in the
place that may erode or damage the riverbed, or where the sand may run
downstream easily.
The constructor should guarantee the used borrowing area in the condition of firm
slops and leveled sites. Besides, there should be no dead water in drains otherwise it
will bring mosquitoes.
The sand and stones excavated from rivers should be kept far enough. The depth of
excavation in any borrowing area should more than 1/10 of the width of rivercourse,
in order to avoid the river being cut off and the riverbed being eroded or damaged. If
the constructors have to borrow earth from vegetation places, they should get
approval from the project engineer, and try to avoid the environmental sensitive spots
Environmental Protection Research Academy of Guangxi. P.R. China Add: 5 Jiaoyu Road Nanning Guangxi Tel:0771-5331497 Postcode:530022
56
Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
and residential areas as well as use effective processing device for smoke.
The following acts should be done in any borrowing area and spoil area:
1) Identify and divide the borrowing area and spoil area, at least 15m far from
sensitive areas(e.g. high abrupt slopes, easily eroded soil and areas where water is
directly drained to sensitive water body);
2) Make sure the earth material is excavated from the approved and designated
borrowing area;
3) The new-excavated borrowing area should keep the surface soil, which can be
backfilled the area after the useful earth material has been excavated , so as to form
the even land or slop surfaces. Terraced fields should be built on certain steep slops
in case of water loss and soil erosion;
4) Surplus surface soil should be compacted and planted vegetation. In proper areas,
the constructors can cover the surface with waste slag or surface soil containing
organic matter, which is good for vegetation recovery. Local plants can grow up more
easily;
5) In construction areas where drains have been built, earth material should be
avoided to rush into the drains and block them;
6) All waste slag generated during the construction should be cleared away once the
work is completed.
2.7 Construction Waste and Transport
The constructors should work out and implement daily working procedures for waste
disposal on construction sites as well as prepare sufficient disposal facilities for
construction waste.
Rubbles and gravels generated from demolition of old buildings can be recycled
properly to serve as building materials for other projects (e.g. roadbed pavement).
This waste should be identified and evaluated on construction sites first and
approved by the project engineer before its recycle. The constructors should follow
the next three points: (a)do not carry out construction in designated forest areas;
(b)do not impact the natural water body; (c)and do not impact endangered or
rare phytocoenosium. Besides, the constructors are definitely not allowed to dispose

57
Guangxi Laibin Water Environment Project Environmental Management Plan
any waste within any environmental sensitive area.
During the construction, waste slag or sludge should be cleared away at once if piling
up on the ground near the construction sites, and then the constructors should
restore the ground and get the approval from the project engineer.
During the whole construction, including periods of preparation, maintenance,
demolition and waste clean, transportation should be planned under guidance of the
project engineer, and measures dealing with the emergency also have to be taken
into consideration.
2.8 Safety Issue during Construction

safety when the waste falls down;
2) To control the process of saw cutting, digging, sanding, slicing and etc, and take
the right method of anchoring to lead the waste down;
3) To keep clean during transportation. Try to avoid vehicle overload, which may
cause road and air pollution due to the falling of waste materials;
4) To adopt temporary protection measures at the edge of scaffold, e.g. setting up
railings and toe boards to prevent the waste falling;
5) To evacuate all the people within the blast affected areas before conducting
blasting work near populated places and other buildings. Try to minimize the impacts
of slungshots and the splashing by using blast cushion or other deflection ways.
6) To provide protective outfits such as goggle, shield, mask, safety helmet and
shoes to all workers.
2.11 Social Impacts
The constructors should do the followings to reduce negative impacts on social life
during construction:
1) Publicize information about construction plan, statement on environmental effect,
construction road, temporary course for public transportation, blasting, demolition
and etc. timely;
2) Impose restrictions on night construction. If it is needed, the constructors should
make reasonable arrangement for the work at night and inform the affected
communities in advance to adopt any necessary preventive measure;
3) If public facilities (e.g. water pipe, electric power and public transportation) are not
able to work normally due to construction, the constructors should publicize the
information, at least 5 days in advance, at the construction sites, public transportation
stops and the affected areas.
2.12 Handling of Cultural Relics and Historical Remains during Construction

Before project construction, comprehensive grading work is required on the roads. The grading work area will cover 140,432 m2. To avoid water and soil erosion or scouring by rainwater during the construction, it is therefore suggested to set up grit chambers on both sides of construction roads. After the sedimentation process in the grit chambers, the rainwater will be directly connected to nearby municipal water drainage pipelines. There will be 18 grit chambers, which are in the trapezoidal cross-section and are 2.0m long, 2.0m wide and 1.0m deep. The slope gradient is 1 : 0.5. The unit engineering earthwork excavation is 2.70m3/set.

set up in construction sites in heavy rain in case materials are washed away into rivers.
Solid Waste
1. To do a good earthwork balance during the construction. Discarded earthworks produced by construction should be backfilled into the sites by all means, and the left-over earthworks should be carried to fill other needed construction sites. If there is no other construction site needing those earthworks, they should be carried to pile up in designated places as requested by the local environment protection authority. The earthworks shall not be dumped into nearby rivers by any means. 2. During the construction period, construction waste and slag should be prevented from falling into rivers and causing pollutions.
Noise
1. Enhance the environment education to construction workers, ensure construction being carried out in a civilized way and reduce the pollution caused by noise construction operations and living noises. 2. Rationally planning the overall construction site to avoid excessively high sound level in specific parts. 3. Reduce the man-made noises, reduce traffic at night and rationally arrange the transport routes. Vehicles for transport at night should not use horns.
Noise
1. Machinery equipment with good process performance and low noise value shall be favored in making purchase. Vibration isolation and anti-vibration measures should be adopted in equipment installation to reduce noise to a minimum level. 2. As water pump is the equipment in long-term service, the pump should have a sturdy base and could grout evenly to absorb different vibrations and to give its substrate a strong supporting

point3. To strengthen the maintenance on water pumps and check the concentricity of motor and pump shaft on a regular basis, to ensure good lubrication of bearings and reduce the wear of pump parts. 4. Sounding absorbing materials and vibration dumping devices such as dampers shall be placed around the pump house walls, roof and ground, and also beside the equipment to effectively control and block the noise transmission and reflection. 5. Greenbelts, trees and shrubs shall be planted around the pump house. Strong anti-pollution species should be planted to improve the landscape and reduce the impact of waste gas, noises and fumes on environment
