3.“D” denotes a short-term impact and “C” a long-term impact.

4.2 Environmental impact analysis

4.2.1 Construction period

The term of this construction work, which will be divided into sections and done by stages, runs from 2013 to March, 2017. During the construction, it is inevitable to occupy the land and tread on plants, causing damage to local ecological environment. Besides, noise, waste water, fugitive dust, stench, mud and other side effects resulted from construction will exert ill influence on the surrounding environment.

1. Wastewater

Sand gravels used in this project are outsourced with no need for washing in site, and only some simple mechanical maintenance will be done on the construction site without cleaning. Therefore, the waste water, generated within construction time, were mainly the remaining water of dredging engineering and sewage of the construction crew’ life.

(1) Remaining water of dredging engineering

The project applies dredging of cofferdam dry field way in its branches, and hydraulic dredging in the downstream of Cihu river. The sediments will be transported to the sediment yard through piles. So the waste water from the dredging engineering was mainly the supernatant fluid. The main pollution factors of the supernatant fluid is SS, which affects little to the surface water after precipitation, and could discharge into Cihu river directly.

(2) Sewage of the construction crew’ life

The sewage of the construction crew’ life containing water pollution factors such as COD, NH3-N and SS. See Table 3-1 for the number of workers and construction period for each construction section.

2. Waste gas

The impact upon air environment mainly comes from air pollutants within the construction period, mainly fugitive dust, malodorous gas , and waste gas emission.

(1) Fugitive dust

Fugitive dust is mainly generated in the processes such as the transportation and stacking of materials, river dredging, dam reinforcement etc., where with the help of wind, the construction site and their surrounding will be polluted. In addition, passing transport vehicles will cause second pollution of fugitive dust on the road. Measures, such as regular road-surface watering, stacked materials covering and transport vehicles blanketing, are designed in this project to control fugitive dust within construction period.

(2) Malodorous gas

Malodorous gas , mainly NH3-N and H2S, will emerge during dredging and the stacking of bottom mud, and its intensity generally ranks level two or three, according to analog data.

(3) Influence of waste gas emission

Waste gas, which is mainly caused by the fuel burning of construction machinery and transport vehicles, includes smoke, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants.

3. Noises

Noises, engendered by construction machinery such as excavators, auto-dumpers, bulldozers, dredge pumps, generally range from 90 to 95 dB（A）and will have certain negative influence on sound-sensitive places along the river.

Therefore, low-noise equipments are planned to be used in this project, and other measures will also be carried out in order to alleviate noise impact, such as reasonable time management, proper equipment arrangement, and fencing etc.

4. Solid waste

Solid waste produced in this construction includes dredging sediments, waste solid and domestic garbage of workers.

(1) River bottom sediment

This project will carry out dredging with hydraulic way in the downstream of Cihu, which amounts to 77,000m3,. This project will also carry out dredging with cofferdam dry field in its branches, which amounts to 95,000 m3. The sediments will transport to the Xiangshan Life landfill site as the sealing field overlying soil.

(2) Waste slag

This project is balance of cut and fill, without any need to set up borrow area or spoil ground. The earth from slope cutting and revetment could be used in the dike enforcement. The waste slag are mainly the construction waste from the reconstruction of the 5 pumping stations, which the estimated area of demolition is 1000 m2, the waste slag index from demolition area is 1350kg/m2, so the estimated construction slag is 1350t. The waste slag will be transported to the third construction slag deposition field, which located in the upstream watershed of Cihu river, 12km away from downstream.

(3)Domestic garbage

Within construction time, domestic garbage will be produced by workers in their daily life. Domestic garbage shall be stacked at fixed point instead of mixing with building waste, and should be delivered to places designated by sanitation departments to be treated timely.

5. Impact on ecological environment

The influences on the ecological environment within construction period fall into the following four aspects: firstly, disturbance and damage to soil and plants caused by the trampling of machines, vehicles and workers during watercourse dredging and widening, pumping station construction and so on; secondly, change of land use patterns resulted from temporary or permanent land occupation; thirdly, reduction of farming and vegetation area due to land occupation, which will have a negative effect on agricultural production; and finally, certain soil erosion may happen if re-vegetation fails in temporary occupied area.

6. Impact on social environment

This project doesn’t involve housing demolition and relocation. The main impacts of immigration are the acquisition of collectively-owned and national-owned land. The total land acquisition are 1788.89 mu., including 1253.89mu. collective-owned land, which are all non-prime arable land. The permanent land acquisition of national-owned land is 535 mu., which are all unused land along the river and branches. According to Measures for Land Expropriation Compensation and Resettlement in Ma’anshan Municipality, compensation will be made to the affected persons.

4.2.2 Operation period

Since this is a water environment treatment project, no waste gas or water will be produced during runtime. And the impact on surrounding environment comes from the operation noises of pumping stations.

This project plans to demolish and re-construct the five pumping stations along the downstream of Cihu River, each of which will be equipped with 3 pumps. And the power of each pump in Tongyi (No.2), Zhaoming, and Xiaonanwei pumping stations will come to 250kw and that in Sulfuric Acid Plant and Tailai 180kw. In the operation of pumping stations, noises mainly come from the operation pump motors, the noise intensity of each of which ranges between 75 and 85dB (A)

5 Environmental management procedures

Environmental management procedures cover design, construction and operation periods

Environmental management procedures include the General environmental management measures during construction and operation period, specific environmental management measures during construction period (related to the sensitive points).
