P202 is 3.0% and K20 is 4.2%. Experinrctltal fertilize the composite fertilizer to wh,eat field by Soil Fertilizer Work Station of Tangshan Agricultural Bureau indicate that: wheat growtth well after utilization of the composite fertilizer, the product growthi is 30.5-80.6kg. growth rate is 7.5-20.2%. the composite fertilizer is otlO likely to cause a significant adverse environmiental impact to the cultivated soil and crop. 4.4.4 Sludge Disposal and Environmental Issue (I) .Sludge) l.)r.vposcedto Lan7dfill According to the feasibility study. the sludge and screen dregs will disposed to the sanitar- landfill The sanitarn landfill site is located in the southern of Tangsihan central w ith capacity of 800 t/d. T1he landfill site has been put into operation with the leakage preventioni. Without sludge digestion process. the sludge with 16 davs age might not be stable. and is malodorous and has high content of pathogenic bacteria. So that, it is necessary to beat the sludge vith lime to adjust pH value of the sludge to IJ for sludge stable prior to landfill. Of course, that nmu increase the volume occupationi of the landfill. The landfill owner is already agreed to receive the slidge from the proposed WWTP. The ivq7firLeerntm s dutring the sludge tranesportarion are: Shipment in package or boxes to prevent the secondary pollution: According to the transportation schedule and alignment. The reqn7rement.s during the landfill are: Raw sludge should be treated witih lime for siudge stable, Cover the sludge with soil to prev-ent pollution and odor daily: Mix the sludge with refuse to promote the anaerobic decomposition. 43 Ovemrl EIA-HUEP (2) Alatnufacutenm ('omposite Fertilizer Wastewvater characteristic and treatment process of West Suburb WWTP No.2 is quite similar to those of West Suburb WWTP No. 1. Therefore. sludge from wWTP No.2 is also similar to that of WWTP No.I. which is successfully used in manufacture composite fertilizer. For this reason. Tangshan Wastewater Treatment Company decided to employ the same process to disposal sludge of WWTP No.2. Manufacturing composite fertilizer use sludge may effectively reduce the volume occupation of landfill disposal and the contents of total nutrient can meet the quality requirement for manufacture fertilizer. So that. the priority sludge utilization is the manufacture of composite fertilizer. A feasibility study for extending the manufacture capacity of composite fertilizer is on-going and will be implemented with the proposed WWTP. This approach may efficiently decrease the landfill volume occupation for sludge disposal. However, The composite fertilizer may contain a quite plenty of pathogenic bacteria such as coliform bacteria. roundworm nit and intestinal pathogenic bacteria as sludge process without disinfection and sterilization. It is suggested that some measures would be considered in the production process of composite fertilizer for killing pathogenic organisms. Also. the proposed composite fertilizer manufacture project would disposed sludge by 40m/d. With the economical and technical feasibilit.; the composite fertilizer plant should designed to treat sludge as more as possible. (3) Others The other potential disposal approaches may be the compost application and improvement of saline-alike soil. it is suggested that the local agencies put efforts to promote the tasting about sludge compost application. 41.5 Handan Urban Water Supply Project 4.5.1 Water Resource Allocation and Other Water Users (1) iFarer ResoTrce Allocation The Yuecheng reservoir. with a storage capacity of 1.22 billion m3 and an effective capacity of 613 million m-. is a wvater source for municipal water supply and agricultural irrigation in Handan of Hebei province and Anvang of Henan province. Upstream of the reservoir. there are Hongqi aqueduct and Yuejin aqueduct in Henan province and Dayuefeng aqueduct and Xiaoyuefeng aqueduct in Hebei province. The water resoorce of Zhang river is shared by Handan and Anyang cities in accordance with the water resource allocation. agreement. Handan and Anyang divert water volume from the upstream reaches of Zhang river to their own reservoirs via the above four major diversion canals respectivelv. The water volume of Yuecheng reservoir is also shared bv two cities. In 1989. State Comncil approved the Water Allocation Plan of Zhanghe River submitted by Water Resoirce Ministry. The water allocation for Hebei and Henan provinces are listed in Table 4.5-1. In the wvater allocation plan, water volume diverted by the 4 major canals by the two provinces durinig the irrigation period, non-irrigation period and flood season is defined. According to the annial water allocation quota of each province, by minus diverting water at the upstream, the 44 Overall EIA-HUJEP residue water quota of Yuecbeng reservoir can be allocated by the tvo provinces. (2) Availah/e Water Vohlne The available water volume by the project from Yuccheng reservoir with current operatioll could onl meet the water suppiv guarantee of 75%.. For wateer supply guarantee of 95%. it should adiust the water conveyance operation at upstream of Yuecheng reservoir during dry year. That means reducing irrigation water supply at upstream area of Zhang river.. According to the Water Supply Feasibility ReporL compiled by Planning and Design Office, Management Bureau of Zhangweinan Canal of Water Resource Ministry: the total available water from Zhang river for Handan at various guarantees is listed in Table 4.5-2. Table 4.5-1 Water Allocation of the Zhanghe River for Hebei and Henan Provinces Guaranitee Available Water Volume (ntllion nt') Ainual water allocation (%) rate (%/6) Zhuozhang Qingzhang Total Hebei Henan river river 50 550 800 1350 52 48 75 340 480 820 50 50 Table 4.5-2 Water Supply Capacity for Handan Urban Guarantee rate (%/o) 75 95 Available Water Volume ( nmillion m3) 316-331 250-254 At the guarantee rate of 95%. vith a decrease of the agricultural water diverting volume from the upstream. available water amount from Yuecheng reservoir could meet the increment of municipal vater demand by the project. It xvill not affect the water supply of Henan province. However. it will infiluence the agricultural irrigation in Handan. Firstly. During dry year, there will be no agriculturai water for the downstream area of Yuecheng reservoir. This irrigation area, which has developed into a vell-cnnal irrigation. would mining more groundwater for irrigation and thus mav cause over-excavation of groundwater. On the other hand. irrigation water for upstream area and the water for enterprises w-hose water is supplied by Dongwvushi will be reduced h! 16%11 duriiig extraordinary dry year. It is suggested that water-saving irrigation should be encotiraged and relative department of Handan government should provide financial and technical supmori. McanAzhile. wvater reuse shotild also cncouraged in thic indulstrial atid miineral cnterprises. 4.5.2 Impact on the Reservoir Use (f) A.4gricid,rcl l n rOIe7 *Stqph' Yuechenig reservoir provides vater to mningyou irrigation areas of Handan city and Zhangnan irrigation area of Anvang city. The irrigated area of Mingyou is 2.401 million mu. and the effective irrigaled area is 1.56 million mu. At the guarantee rate of 75%. the water supply capacity of the reservoir is 258 million in3. of whicih 179 million ml will be conveyed to the Handan and 21% is for the project. This will reduce the reservoir operation to provide irrigation wvater to a certain exltn t. By conisidcrinig the priority of urban water supply and the highly water consumption of agricultural irrigation, it is estimaied that impacts or reductioni agricultural water supply is inetilic. (Considering the carnmoer storage of thc Yuecieng reser oir. and the domination of 45 OveraU EIA-HUEP channel-wvell irrigation. the proposed water supply project would not have long-termi impacts on thc downstream irrigationi areas. The key point shotild be that the local government adopt encoiragement policy for vater-saving irrigation. (2) Aqua'ic hreeding No data has beeni obtained about box-net fishery in Ytiecheng resenroir. It is suggested that the mensiures should be taken to control such box-net fishery to prevent eutrophication and ensure that water quality meets standards for drinking water source. (3) Proiecthonr of water sotrce As Yuecheng reservoir is the drinking water source of the city, water source protection area should be designated on the water body and land area around the reservoir. The function of drinking water supply should be prior function of the reservoir, and box-net fishery, water surface entertainment activities and pollutant discharge from the land should be strictly limited. 4.5.3 Water Quality Reliability of Yuecheng Reservoir (1) Mnjor Factors In flencing the Waler Quabity Based on the monitoring data, water quality of Yueclieng reservoir complies the Class II standard. While wvater quality of the reservoir vas Class III standard in 1994.and 1995. For eutrophication issue. no svstematic and complete monitoring data is available. Howvever. based on the monitoring data il 1996. the reservoir was in a meso-trophic level. Table 4.5-3 Water Qualit of Yuecheng Reser oir in 1996 Unit: mg/L lteiii Center Near Dani Outlet | Average NH --N 0.113 (M.084 0.07 0.101 P048- 0.0305 0.028 0.054 0.0375 COD) 2.325: 2.275 2.15 2.25 The major pollutionl loads come from the upstream urban industrial and municipal wastewater discharge. wvhile N. P load mainly from runoff of the catchment. The water quality monitoring data collected from 1994 to 1997 on several sites of Zhang river indicate that waler quality at the inflow reach exceeded Class 1I1 standard from 1994 to 1996. In 1997. wvater quality of Zihang river was getting better than 1996. In 1998. there are about 42.27 million ton or industrial wastewater discharged into upstream of Zhanghe river. among wihich COD discharge was 4.164 ton. SS was 4.775 toIi. NH,-N was 790.7 ton. The major pollution sources arc from chemical. metallurgy, paper making. and powver industries in Shanxi and Hebei provinces (see Table 4.5-4 for detail). The polltitant discharge is listed in Table 4.5-5. Currently. there is no municipal wvastewater treatment facilities in the counties and towns in the catcihmenit or the Reservoir. and nmunicipal se-vage from Ci county and She countv is directly discharged in(o Zhang river. and cause water qualitv dcteriorationi. Thc upstream area has developed agricultural land of approximately 2.34 million mu. The losses or N. P matters from thIe cultivated fields might nlow inito thc reservoir b- runoff in wvet season. This man bc tihc causc of slighlt high conccintration or inorganiic P in the reservoir. No detail data about thc soil crosion and non- poinit poliutioin sotircc from agricultural field in upstream area or tlic YIechlicng reservoir is available. (urrentil. water qualitv in thc reservoir is good tliat is rclativc to the operation or the Reservoir mmcl water cnveyan-cnne facilities in the upstrcamii. During irrigation season (March to June and Novcimlicr). th[e asc flow is diverted by thc four nminor canal from ZhiluoAlang river and 4" L overall EIA-HITEr Qingzhang river. During non-irrigation season (December to Febniarv of next year). diverting vater voltime are liniited and the residue flowvs into Yueclienig reservoir. During the flood season (July to October). the operation of conveyance facilities is sanie as the irrigation season when water influx to Zhang river less than 15m3/s. When the water influx is greater than l5mnis there wotild be water flow into Yuecheng reservoir.

Al the boundarv betweeni Shanxi aind Hebei provintcc. the quality of Zhang river should mccl( Class Ill surface vater standard according to national regulations and the agreement lcthcent tlie tw-o provinccs. Thcrcrorc. so lniIg as the pollutioni load discharged into the upstream 47 Ovemll EIA-HIEP reaches could be controlled at the 1997 level. water quality of Zhang river at inflow reach could comply with Class III standard. As a drinkling water source. the reservoir should formulate a corresponding regulation for water poliution control according to related lawvs and rules. Box-net fishery and water surface entertainment activities shall be restricted, and direct wastewater discharge should be forbidden, A guidelines for effective fertilizer anid pesticides application in the catchment area of Yuecheng reservoir shouild also be carried out. It is predicted that water quality of Yuecheng reservoir can be retained at current level with the strengthening management mentioned above. (3) Siuggestions on Environmental Mangemen onfthe Revervoir To deivlop admninistration regulationsfor drink-ing water source: It is necessary to designate the catchrment of Yuecheng reservoir as drinking water source protection zone and develop relative administration regulations. Suggestions in EIA report for Handan Water Supply Project include: i) designate the Yuecheng reservoir as Class I drinking water source protection zone, the scope of the protection zone should include Yuecheng reservoir and the area within I OOOm. ii) designate the area from inflov. site of the reservoir to Hezhang site including 200m area to banks as Class 1I drinking water protection zone. Bv consideration of Zhanghe and Yuecheng reservoir is a trans-provincial watercourse managed by Water Resource Ministry, it is suggested that the local government should consult with management department of the reservoir to develop administration regulations for Yuecheng drinking water sources. The protection area should be designated with the physical conditions and regulationi for drinking water source protection,. Also. the management requirements should defined in a legitimate manner according to the requirement of national water resource protection and Pollution (ontrol Reqruirementfor Drink-ing Water Protection Zones. .Sitrengthening management for point pollution sources Viewed from the Hebei province. the major industrial pollution sources affecting reservoir water quality are mainly distributed on the She county reach of Qingzhang river. According to the Ikad(ijir for Mqor Polluttion Sorurcesc (Control of Hebei Province and the Poihition Control Plan qf Ha7i Ritvr rat7in. xvastewvater treatment for standard non-attainment enterprises. suchi as Handan Fertilizer Factory. Handan Fertilizer Factory. Gas Ash Selection Factnry etc.. should be performed. and the preparation for WWTP at county level should be actively sought. Strenf thening nmanagement for non-ioint pollition soUrces Attention should be paid to soil erosion prevention and fertilizer loss. The agricultural management agencies should strengthen management for soil conservation within the catchnient. It is necessary to develop wvater-saving irrigation techniques and the guideline for effective use of chemiiical fertilizers and pesticides in the catchment area. Policy initiatives should be provided to develop composite fertilizer production. Strengthen Management of the Tounship Enterprises Strictly ban the " 15 kinds of enterprises' wvith the serious pollution according to the requirement of Statc Environmiental Protection Administration, especially small paper making factories. 4x Oveml EIA-HU1EP 4.6 Hand on West WWTP Project 4.6 1 impacts on Water Environment (I) Polliinif11l I)ischanrge The wastewater volume in the west drainage system will be 150.000 t/d by the year 2005. A comparisoni or pollutant discharge with and without the proposed project is listed in Table 4.6-1. Afler the implementation of the 1landan West VWrT. the removal rates of COD and BOD. will be 40% and 60% respectively. The discharged quantities of COD and BOD, are 65.7% and 44% of that in 1995 respectively.

With the projecL water quality of the receiving watercourses of Shuyuan river and Fuyang river would be improved. Althoughi the water quality Nvill still be above Class V standard, the standard exceeding extent is significantly reduced. Organic pollutant concentration will be able to meet irrigation water standard.

Surface watercourses in the depression zone are. all wastewater discharge channels. Due to the seepage of wastewater. groundwater has been seriously polluted, and the major pollutants are total hardness. sulfate, chliorides. NO2. NO3. fluoride and coliform groups. Witl the construction of wastewater collection svstems. raw sewvage and industrial wastewater currently drinaged into the combined canals would be collected by the wvastewater system and is drained into the wastewater treatment plant. and that will fundamentaliv alleviate impacts of wastewater seepage on groundwvater. With the wastewater treatment. the impacts of river seepage on groutindwater will also be reduced. 4 6.2 Odo limpacts (I) IJ npact tScnpc' It is cstimnted tiant tlle odor emission rntc with oxidation ditclh process is lover tlhall that of conlvntiinnl activailcd sludge .vroccss, This is inilny- due to thc fact that the sludge in oxidation ditclh paint is at semi-stabic statc. and odor cmissioni from the sludge storage is therefore 4') overll EIA-HItEP significantly reduced: secondary. due to with different aeration methodology, odor emission from the oxiidationi ditch is lower thian the aeration tank. Therefore. odor emission with oxidation ditch is smaller tiant tIhat witih conventional activated sludge process (2) Hygiene Rqffer Belt With reference to projection for odor emission of Tangshan West Suburb WWTP No.2 and the snmell test for WWTP wvith conventional activated sludge process. it is projected that odor concentration could meet Class I standard at 120ni doNvnwind froni the West Handan WrWTP. The buffer belt for separating effect of odor emission from WWTP with conventional activated sludge process or oxidation ditch process is 200-400m and 1000-300m respectivelyh subject to the influencing factors of size. influent quality and sludge disposal method, Considering the facts that the capacity is 100.000 m3/d. reserved land and the site is near the north circular road, the buffer belt width for odor emission of the Handan West WWwTP is suggested to be 200m. (3) AMitigation Measures As the plant is located in a reserved land. north of Guoyuan road. it is necessary to limit the land use in the north of Guovuan road. To prevent the technical school south of the plant from order impact. it was suggested the plant move 150m northward to 30-(50m away the north ring road in the early stagc of EIA. The prevail vind is south wind. residential quarters or schools shouldn't be planned w ithin 200 ni of the plant. Forestation wvithin the plant should be aimed at eliminating bald nude surface. Grasses. flowvers. bushies and trees should be planted widely- and arbors and bushes such a pines and cypress should be planted along the inner plant roads. and tall arbors such as polars and Chinese scholartrees s-hould be grew around the plant boundary to form a multi-laver protection belt to minimize odor impacts. Odor substance tends be generated from thickening. dewatering and stacking of sludge treatment. Therefore. anoxic fermentation in thickening procedd should be prevented. and sludge should be transported as earl! as possible after dewatering. An inner plant protection green belt should be growv for separating the treatment area and the office area to reduce odor impact on the office area. 4 6.3 Sludee Disposal/Reuse (l) ,Sh1gc Z I)Se.oR71 According to (he feasibility study report. most of the sludge will be transported to the on-going sanitar- landfill site. A smal! portion will be sent to Handan Composite Fertilizer Factory for use as additives. The proposed sanitary lanidfill site is located near Chenjiavao in the west of the Handan West XW7P. vith a distance of 18km. The landfill site will be built according to national standards (GBI6R99-1997) witi horizontal and lateral anti-seepage measures. and leakage liquid transfer. collection and treatment systenm. The design treatnment capacity is 820t/d. Slidge from the West WWTP is stable, and wouldn't cause any special environmental impact. The key issue is whether the landfill can be constructed before the completion of the WWTP. It is therefore recommenided that the related agencies in Handan should accelerate the construction of the sanilarx landfill. 5(1 Overall EIA-IIUEP (2) .S/tige Rense According to the monitoring results on bottom sludge in wastewater discharge chaninels. the heavi metal contents are below the national limitation of Sludge for Agricultural Use (GB4284-84). Table 4.6-3 Heavv Metal Contents in Surface Laver of Wastewater Canal Bed in HIandan Urban Unit: mg/kg Item Cd Pb Co Cr Sedimentation 0.104 60.88 64.34 33.03 GB4284-84 standard 20 1,00( 5(( 10( Based on the wastewater characteristics withini the service scope of the WTAP. and in comparison vith Tianjin Jizhuangzi WWTP. it is projected that heavw metal concentration in the sludge froni thc plant will be lower that from the Tianjin plant, and will comply with the standard for agricultural use. The sludge is abundant in N. P. K. etc.. and can be used as fertilizer or as additive to composite fertilizer. Judged from the hygiene standards. sludge generated from this process is worse than digested sludge. There ma! be a plenty of pathogeni bacteria, whlich can be spreaded tirough contact or food chainis. and mav lead to diseases such as intestinal infections and diarrhea. With the sludge application for composite fertilizer additive, disinfection of the sludge should be considered to kill the pathogen bacteria. I i Overaml ELA-HUEP 5 Alternative Afler implementation of the HUEP. water supply capacity in Tangshan. and Handan city will be raised by 150,OO0m3/d and 1(0(0,000m3/d respectiveh. and wastewvater treatment capacity in Shiiiazhuang. Tangshan and Handan will be raised by 500,000 rn3/d. 120,000 m-/d and 100.000 m3/d respectivel-. Give prioritv to-urban water supply is the fundamental strategy for water supply in China: extension of urban wastewater treatment capacity is the major component of mitigating urban water pollution: promoting balanced or synchronized increase of water supply and wastewater treatment capacity is the basic policy of the Word Bank in supporting urban infrastructure construction. For the individual water suppl) projects, Tangshan and Handan are facing an over exploitation of groundwater. serious groundwater recession in urban area and groundwater pollution to different extents. The groundwater pumping should be limited for sustainable use, instead of further exploitation. Therefore, an alternative for satisfying the sustainable increased demand for municipal vater supply is to develop the surface water supply capacity. Within the proposed wastewater treatment service areas of Shijiazhuang. Tangshan and Handan. the major portion of the wastewater is municipal sewage. The industrial pollution control couldn't solve the urban water pollution completelv. The improvements df the water quality of inner rivers and the public health rely on the proper wastewater collection system and adequate wastewater treatnment facility. Also, the wastewater reuse is the most important issue in water management in recently future as Hebei province is a water scarce area. The proposed secondary wastewater treatment plants will provide a solid foundation for these cities to achieve such targets. The construction of WWTPs in the three host cities is the best way to handle urban water pollution and wasteivater reuse. The alternatives for the selection of scale, site and process have been addressed in respect of the actual situation in the pre-feasibilih, studies and EIA documents. The proposed schemes in the pre-feasibilith studies are the optimized one after technical, economic comparison, and the adverse enNironmental impacts are insignificant. 5.1 Shijiazhuang Wastewater Treatment Project A comparison for two alternative sites is carried out before making decision for current proposed site. The alternative site is located near Dongyi village ji the southeast of the city and in the west or the master drainage channel. By considering flood control. current proposal site has priority. The activated sludge process is also proposed on the basis of technical and economical comparison wxith A2O process and oxidation ditch process. for the size of wastewater treatment works, EIA team suggested that one-time construction of 500.0(0 m3/d capacity is the best choice by consideration of the master environmental protection plaining of Shiiiazhuang city and the environmental benefits. Witl the option of 250,000 m3/d capacity. treated wastewater in Shijiazhuang city would be onIv 52.3%. without significant improvement on water quality of Xiao river and Fuvang river. A comparison of 5(0.0()0 ni3/d strengthen primary treatment and 250. 000 m3/d secondary treatment wvith various treatment processes was also considered in economic and environmental benefits. 5.2 Tangshan Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Projects In thc feasibility study orWater Supply to Central Tangshan project. tvo schemes were considered for ivalcr intake point. purification plant location and water convev pipeline routes. Ott the basis of tcchinicnl. economical anid enmironmental comparisotn. the current proposed scheme is prior. 52 overall EIA-HUEEP Existing East Suburb WWTP and the in-construction North Suburb VW`WTP with total capacity of 300.00(1 m3/d sever for the east area of Tangshan Central. All municipal sewage and a large protion of industrial waste-water are treated by the plants. The residue industrial wvastewvater with lower biodegradability will be treated by the enterprises. Therefore. no extension of wastewater treatment capacity is needed in the eastern areas. and preference should be given to the western part of the Central. The proposed site and size of the West Suburb Second WWTP are both recommended by comparison of technical, economical and environmental benefit. The original option is to construct a wastewater treatment work of 40,000 m3/d for the New Airport district and to build the vest suburb WWTP No.2 serving for the West Station district and the west existing areas. By considering vastewater growth and the comparison of technical. economic and environmental, Both feasibilitv study and EIA teams identify the proposed site and capacitr are preference. The proposed activated sludge process is presented based on a comparison withi oxidation ditch process and extended aeration process. In may 1999, the consultants suggested a activated sludge process vith denitrification. whichi has advantage than the proposed option by comparing with environmental and economic benefit. However. by considering the limitation of budget and toward environmental target with economic development. EIA team suggested the denitrification process could be employed in phase 11 of the project. 5.3 Handan Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Projects The proposed Handan Urban Water Supply Project is actually the Phase II proiect of the newvly constructed Handan Urban Water Supply Project with capacity of 100.000 m3/d. The final capacity of Handan Urban Water Supply Project. diverting water voiume from Yuecheng reservoir is about 200.00() m31d. in-construction project plans to maintain a water convey capacity of DOM(tLO m31d. The implementation of the proposed project is in compliance with the original project objective and scheme. An alternative option of 60.000 m3/d plus 40,000 m3/d was considerd, i.e. increasing water suppiv capacity of 60.000 m31d diverting water from Yuecheng reservoir and upgrading the No.3 water plant with water pollution control measures for the upstream of Fuyang river. However. this option has no advantage than the proposed option. The capacity of Handan west WWrTP is proposed by a comparison with option of 150.000 m3/d primarm treatment process. With the comparison of technical . economic and operation management for oxidation ditch. A2O process ans conventional activated sludge process. oxidation ditch process is selected as easy management by Handan wastewater company. The final proposed WIVTP site is determined also bv considering the requirement of 200 meters buffer belt for separating odor effect. 5.4 Heating Supply Issue The projects located in the area for controlling sulfur dioxide. Coal with lower sulfur and more clear fuels are pronmoted to be used. The option of heating boiler with coal fuel for the sub-project. except the Handan WSP is proposed. The alternatives for heating supply of the sub-projects may iiclide muniicipal centralized heating supply. boiler with diesel oil and liquid gas consume in principal. With thie situationl of the projects, the options of municipal centralized heating supply and liquid gas constinue are not available. As coal with lowver sulfur is available and the effects of thc boiler with coal fuel is limited in plant site area and is acceptable. the option of boiler with coal fuci is chosenl instead of boiler with diescl oil by considering economical condition. 53 Ovemll EA-HIUEP 6 Envir-onmental, Social and Economic Benefits 6.1 Environmental and Social Benefits Thc constriction or urban water supply and wastewater treatment projects in ShiJIiazhluatig.

The projected charge rates are listed in Table 6.2-1. Table 6.2-1 Projected Charge Rates for the Sub-projects Host City Water Supply Price Wastewater Treatment Fee (uan/mr3) (yuan/t) Shiijiazhuang 0.45 Tangshan 1.48 0.8 Handan 1.06 1.16 Water supply fee will be charged according to the water meter of the users. Collection of wastewater treatment fee will be entrusted to the water supply company, and wastewater charge volume will be taken as 80% of water supply volume. For industrial wastewater, it is suggested that specific audit be conducted on it. With raising water supply fee. it is recommended that Tangshan and Handan municipalities should consider raising charge on withdrawal of raw water, so that cost of self-water suppiv in the enterprises will be close to that of municipal water supply, and thus ensure there will be no over- exploitation on surface water or groundwater. 5.7 Overall EIA-HUEP 7 Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans The target of EMMP is to ensure the owner. design institute and construction unit follow the environmental management requirements and standards issued by National, Provincial and Local EPBs in feasibility study phase, design phase, construction and operation phases, and to ensure the proposed mitigation measures would be implemented, as well as the environmental protection facilities are in proper operation.

The terrestrial scope would be determined according to requirements of water protection target. Surface of Yuecheng reservoir and inflow reach of the triunk Zhianig river would be bordering into the protective area. It is suggested thiat the local government should formulate a management regulationi for the drink-ing water source as early as possible. Based of the implementation of the existing industrial wastewater control plan. the management measure for point and non-point sources would be strengthened according with the requirements or drinikinig vater source protection issued by SEPA. Also. monitoring on water quality entering the provinice boundary should be strengthened. and consultation with related agencies in Shanxi province should be done in case of any identified probleim for quick solution. 7.5 Wastewater Audit and Monitoring Wastewater audit and monitoring in the service area is ant important element for environmental management durinig operation of the proposed wastewater treatmenl projects Waste\vater discharge volume and quality froni all discharging units wvithin the collection scope of the proposed project should be registered and recorded. Wastewater treatment agreements should be signed between the wastewater treatment company and pollutant discharge units to regulate the wastewater discharge volume and qualitv. To ensure the proper operation of the wastewater treatment works and the wastewater qualiti in compliance with the requirements for influent of drainage system. it is suggested to strengthen the management for wastewater monitoring. 7.5. 1 Audit of Wastewater Quantity (Check of wartettal er volurme in induxstrial enternrives: Audit should be conducted on wastewater discharge from each industrial enterprise within the service area of WWTP. For wastewater discharge enterprises that comply wvith Wasreualer Qruality of Discharge into Municipal Drainage .Wsvem (C.11R-86), wastewater volume can be calculated according to their production scale, technical process, water consumption coe£iTcient. Metering devices should be installed for maior wastewater discharges. The checked wastewater volume shall be taken as the average permit wastewater disciharge volume of an enterprise, and as the basis for wastewater treatment fee. For enterprises that wastewater quality do not comply with CJI8-86 standard, the wastewater shouild be forbidden to drain into the wastewater collection system. And a specific requirement should be lrirtilate for tihese enterprises to improve the effluent quality with the cooperation Of the local EPBs. tihal is importanit for WWTPs of Shiiiazhuang and Handan. I ri,Iinn of u aslet'ater voutme: The wastecvater treatment company should check' vastewater volunes regularly, especially for those with adiustment of production scale or production structure. As wastewater volume change may involve approvnl from local vater supphx agencies and en ironmentalI protectioni agencies. therefore, the wastewater treatiment companies should develop closel cooperation writh the municipal wvater supply companies and environmental protection agencies to master the conditions in %vater supply and wastewater discharge in the enterprises uwithin the respective service scope for effective volume rechecking. Incrementalivoaietrater volume: For newly enterprises and upgrading project in the service areas. metcring devices for measuring wastewater volume, as well as tihe limitation of CJ 1 8-86 standard bc required. Estimated wastewater discharge volume could be checked bv reference vith tilc EIA documiient and the approval documents of the project. The municipal entironnental protcctioui hurcaits wvould provide support in suchi cases. 61l Overall EIA-HUEP 7.5.2 Wastewater Quality Testing The wastewatei treatment company should irregularly monitor wastewater volume and quality of major pollutant discharge units within the service scope as well as the operation of wastewater treatment facilities in these enterprises to ensure that wastewater discharged into the collection system compl) wvith related requirements. The monitoring items can be determined by the characteristics of the wastewater from an enterprise. 7.5.3 Specific Policy EnvirmnmentalManagement: Qualitv of wastewater discharged into the municipal wastewater collection system from industrial enterprises must comply with CJi18-86 standard. It is suggested that the municipal environmental protection bureau should promulgate. supplement or issue in certain fonns specific management rules on industrial wastewater discharge, and forbid the direct wastewater discharge into rivers or storm water systems. Wasleiiuaer Treatment Fee: In determining wastewater charge rates. a uniform wastewater charge rate schedule should be implemented. and the fee should be levied on all pollutant discharge units and residents. Wastewater fee should be levied on the basis of the checked *wastewater volume. The potential direct discharge into rivers or storm water systems from individual enterprises should be forbidden. Manqagement of Septic Pool: it is suggested that the Cities withi Nvastewater treatment project could remove the requirement for newly buildings and residential quarters that is. b'uilt in the service zone of wastewater treatment proiect with septic pool. 7.6 Reporting of Environmental Monitoring 7.6.1 Reporting in Construction Phase The construction period is about 2-3 years. Based on construction contents, the major engineering of water plants and WWTPs could be separated into three phases of ground leveling and lInd excavation, construction of buildings. and equipment installation and adjustment.

All the analyses carried out in EIA procedure shows the HUEP project is feasible. 9.2 Major Suggestions 9.2.1 Construction Period (I) Thie arrangement of finanicial and construclion activities should ensure llte wastevater treatment works will be finished witii the imiplemientationi of water supplh projects in Tangsliani and Handan cities. (2) The arrangement of. financial aid construction activities for wastewater treatiiment protects should ensure the upgrading and extending of wastexvater collection systems shotild be finishied prior the compliemenLatioii of wastewater treatlnent planiis in Sliijiazltanig. Tanigshian and Hanidan cities. (3) Withi pipeline laying crosses crop fields, the cullivated soil layer should be stacked separateh. and recovered after construction; The trees along tihe construiction routes should better be relocated and then planted back, instead of cut dowin; (4) When construction site is locaied wvithin or near residential area, nighttimile work should be forbidden as possible; (5) With construclion inside urban area, the Iraisponation of deseried soil and consiniction debris should use cover cloti, and avoid rush hours; the backfill sites should be leveled with comiipactioni (6) Bars should be employed to separate the construction site with roads in the urbain area. and warning boards should be placed on-site; (7) Water spray, is needed in case of consecutive sunny days or windy days in urban constriction site; (8) The vehicle wheels should be cleaned before they exit the construction site of plant. 9.2.2 Operation Period (1) Environmental management should be strengthenied in the water source areas, and responsibilities for related agencies should be clarified. It is suggested that Handall govern should made a cooperation with Anyang city and the authority of Yuccheng rescrvoir to buLilt a prolection zone anid performs the relative environmental regulation for drinkinig water source of Yuecheng reservoir (2) The implemientation of Handan water supply project would cause adverse cilects onil tile irrigationi areas upstrean) and downstream of Yucclihcjg dam. It is suggested that Hanidan govenminent should adjust the strategy for water resource applicationi ol Zhang river in tilmie. and perform a favorite policy to support developiment of wvater-saving irrigation for minimizing adverse effect on irrigation. 7X} heriati li,lA-l 1It1l-ii (3) It is beuer to raise the groundwater rcsource fee with thc impieictiationi ol municipal x%atcr supply projects to linii overdraft groundwalcr. (4) An) abnoriual water quality situation of rcservoir and inilowv rivers shliold be report to diei local EPA as early as possible. (5) The upgrading of wastewater collection systems siiotild be implemicinied wiith thc constrLCtioll of wastewater treatmenet planlt to ensure t(e wastewater in scrvice arcas wouild bc drainugc into the wastewater treatiient plant on time. (6) Strengtihen monitoring on infiluenit of WWTP and maniagemienrt oi thc automiiatic control equipmenlt anid instrumenit with a countermeasure plan lor abnoriiial influentl cases. (7) Strengthen iwastewater auditing and moniloring in the service areas to ensure Ilhe inlluct complies witlh the standards of CJ I 6-86. (8) Sludge should be disposed to sanitary landfill tiniel.
