II. SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

9. The project environmental management plan (EMP) is the primary reference

document for the government and ADB for all environment-related mitigation,

monitoring, reporting, and training activities for the project. Timely and effective

implementation of the EMP is a key condition of the loan agreement between the

government and ADB. The EMP was prepared as part of the initial environmental

examination in 2016. The EMP is being implemented over ten months. The content of

the EMP includes (update if needed): institutional roles and responsibilities for EMP

implementation; mitigation measures for environmental safeguard risks; environmental

monitoring and reporting; training and capacity building; grievance redress mechanism

(GRM); public consultation; cost estimates; and, other information e.g. terms of

reference for key positions.

10. Project institutional arrangements (Section 2 of the EMP). This section of the

EMP describes the roles and responsibilities of relevant agencies for EMP

implementation. For this project, the principal person responsible for EMP coordination is

the PMO Environment Officer (Miss. Zhang Ting, PMO environment officer), acting on

behalf of the PMO. On-site implementation of the EMP is by the implementing agencies,

contractors, and construction supervision companies (CSCs). Guidance and supervision

to the PMO Environment Officer is given by the Loan Implementation Environment

Consultant (LIEC).

11. Project readiness assessment (Section 4 of the EMP). This is the first key step

prior to the start of project civil works, to ensure that preparations for EMP

implementation have been completed.

12. Potential impacts and mitigation (Section 3 of the EMP). This section of the

EMP summarizes the potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures for the

17

different phases of the project: detailed design and pre-construction phase; construction

phase; and operations phase. Table EMP-2 in the EMP summarizes the environmental

risks and mitigation measures, and agencies responsible for implementation and

supervision of these measures. For this project, the key potential impacts and/or issues

of concern are: (i) Earthwork, soil erosion, soil contamination; (ii) Generation of dust by

construction activities; (iii) Gaseous air pollution (SO2 , CO, NO2 ) from construction

machinery and asphalt fume from pavement of Binhe Road; (iv) Odor from dredge spoil;

(v) Noise generated from construction activities; (vi) Increase SS concentrations in

groundwater due to percolation of water from foundation ditch of flood discharge tunnel;

(vii) Domestic waste from construction sites.

13. Training (Section 6 of the EMP). This section of the EMP describes the training

program for environmental safeguards, including the recipients and frequency of training.

14. Consultation and participation plan (Section 7 of the EMP). This section of the

EMP identifies the mechanisms by which consultations will be accomplished (e.g.,

through workshops, questionnaires, etc.), the frequency of consultations, topics, and

target audiences.

15. Environmental monitoring program (Section 5 of the EMP). The program

comprises three types of monitoring: (i) internal monitoring – to be conducted by the IAs

and the Construction Supervision Companies (CSCs) during construction stage, and by

the Zuoquan WWTP, Shixia Reservoir Management Office, and Zuoquan Liaorun water

company during the operation stage; (ii) external monitoring – of air, water, noise and

soil standards – to be conducted by the local environment monitoring station (EMS); and

(iii) compliance monitoring – to be conducted by the LIEC, to ensure the EMP is being

implemented. Monitoring shall comply with the PRC standards for environmental

monitoring and quality.

16. Costs (Section 9 of the EMP). This section of the EMP describes the estimated

costs for EMP implementation over 6 years. The cost estimates in the EMP include the

costs for the mitigation measures, training, and monitoring.

17. Reporting (Section 5 of the EMP). This section of the EMP describes the reporting

requirements for the project, including the responsible agencies and reporting frequency.

18

III. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

18. This section summarizes the progress made to implement the project EMP during

the current reporting period.

1. Assessment of project readiness

19. An assessment of project readiness was conducted, before the start of project civil

works. The assessment was conducted by the PMO Environment Officer and PIU

Environment Officer. The indicators that were assessed are presented in Table 2 (which

corresponds with “Table 3” of the EMP). These indicators include whether: (i) the EMP

mitigation measures have been incorporated in the detailed design; and (ii) the PMO and

PIUs have included project-specific clauses for environment safeguards to be

incorporated in the bidding documents.

36. Results. Through the training of environmental protection and monitoring, the

trainees showed a good understanding of environmental protection and monitoring,

and basically realized the understanding of environmental protection and monitoring

provisions in the implementation of environmental management plan.

37. Conclusions and next steps.

In order to ensure the effective implementation of the EMP, a capacity building will be

implemented in the project, covering the implementation, supervision and reporting of

the environmental management plan, the GRM, and the design and operation and

6

maintenance of sponge city and wetland. The follow-up training program will be

implemented in accordance with the environmental management plan.

6. Costs of EMP implementation during the reporting period

38. An estimation of the total costs spent to implement the EMP is difficult, because (i)

the costs are spread across the PMO, contractors, CSCs, LIEC, and external monitoring

agencies; (ii) the costs for environmental management are usually included within the

lump sum contract amounts between the PMO and contractors or other agencies.

However, an estimate of total costs spent to date includes the following:

• Total contract amount for environmental monitoring station(s) = CNY

1,477,672.00.

39. Based on these estimates, the total amount spent to date for implementation of the

EMP is approximately CNY 1,477,672.00.

7. Compliance with loan and project assurances

40. The loan agreement and project agreement between the government and ADB

includes eight assurances (or “covenants”) for environmental safeguards and/or related

to environmental issues (Appendix 1). These relate to the timely and effective

implementation of the EMP, as well as project-specific assurances tailored to the current

project. Compliance with these assurances is a condition of the loan and project

agreements. For the current reporting period: Eight are not yet applicable due to the

early stage of project implementation.

8. Issues for Follow-Up Documented in the Previous Environment Monitoring Report and any Missions undertaken During the Current Reporting Period.

41. On March 5 to March 7, 2019, Inception Mission was held; ADB visited Zuoquan County Government to initial and review the project, including the status of EMP implementation. Environmental issues and solutions described in the MOU, such as whether the environmental management plan has been distributed and disclosed, the recruitment of the Environmental Adviser for Loan Implementation (LIEC) will completed in July of this year, environmental monitoring by external monitoring agencies during construction, and the relevant environmental management plans should be included in bidding documents and contracts. The technical support staff from the EEB must work closely with the environment officers of the PMO and IAs,

7

and mitigation measures related to soil and water conservation and dust prevention should be strengthened, which have been successfully implemented during the reporting period.

43. Conclusions and next steps. Progress reporting from the PMO to ADB complies

with the EMP reporting schedule. In general, the quality of the EMRs is improving. The

next EMR will be for the period July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and will be submitted

to ADB on January 31, 2020.

IV. LESSONS LEARNED

44. Key lessons learned during the reporting period for environmental management

were: (i) Paying close attention to the concerns of community members before

construction begins can help to avoid or minimize environmental impacts, and also

reduce complaints and grievances; (ii) Good knowledge of EMP, GRM and related

safeguard measures by PMO and Implement agencies could smooth the project

progresses and avoid & reduce the risk of project implement.(iii) Monitoring data will be

conducted before commencement of contract and during construction period.

45. The points mentioned above not only help to improve environmental outcomes,

but they help to improve project efficiency and reduce costs as well.

46. These lessons will be applied to the project as follows: throughout the project.

V. NEXT STEPS

47. Based on the findings of this EMR, corrective actions and next steps are required

for several issues (Table 9).
