Its construction placed the main impact on water environment due to the mud residue, mud, the leakage of the borer and other machines. When the bored hole pier foundation was used for the bridge foundation, the mud residue induced while boring the holes were banned to drain to the river for the sake of the blockage of the river and the flood drainage. II. The Impact of the construction Site Sewage on the Environment 1.The construction site was generally arranged near the villages and towns with the sufficient water and power supply, convenient traffic and short distance to the sites. Due to the simple life and living of the construction staff the Domestic Wastewaterdrainage amount was not much, mainly from washing and canteen cleaning, no obvious impact on the local water environment. The living water drainage amount was different at various sites, by experience, there are nomally 20~200 people at one site, counted by 50L/d.man and 80% of the living sewage discharge, the staff sewage discharge amount will be 0.8~ 8m3/d. 2.Certain impact was placed on the environment due to improper treatment of the oil contrained water drainage from the construction machinery maintenance. 9.4.2 Proposals on the Water Pollution Protection and Treatment during the Construction Period (1)The over-bridge foundation construction should try to be in the dry season. The shallow water section uses the straw-sack cofferdam, and deep water area using the bi-wall steel dam. The oil drip and leakage should try to be lessened to minimize the impact on the environment. (2)Due to the scattered construction camps, the living sewage drainage was not much in quantity at each place, the overall disposal of the staff living sewage was not easy, so it was suggested that the toilets should be built at the construction camps in villages and collected for as fertilizer for the crops. The dry toilets should be well managed with a timely cleaning, especial to prevent the dropping drift in the rain season and pollute the surrounding. Other living sewage should be drained to the nearby low deserted land or ditches for a less impact on the environment; In urban area, the municipal houses with the drainage system should be rented for the rental of the camps for the living sewage drained to the urban sewage disposal system. (3)The oil insulation and collection tank of small scale should be arranged for the constrution points with large quantity of oil-contrained sewage, drainage be after the sewage treatment. (4)No construction camps at the water protection zone. The camp location should be away from the protection range, ensuring the no drainage of staff living sewage and oil contrained sewage from the machinery maintenance to the protection zone. (5)While having construction in the water source protection area, the construction material with the harmful matters should be stored far away from the water source, all railway building material should rain proof and rain shielding facilities, the project waste shoude be moved out of the water source in time; the transportation vehicles and construction machines should be strictly managed, covered the vehicles with the tent against the dropping of material and dust spreading. (6)The hardened ground and dry tank should be made at maintenance points to prevent the water and soil pollution due to the machine maintenance and cleaning. The strengened machine repairing and construction are necessary against the leaking, drip, spout. (7)The urban construction requires the hardened ground due to the high sand and mud containing sewage ban straightly to the underground drainage pipe and the rain inducing ditches within the construction bound and the discharge after settled in the sediment tank. 9.5 Impact Analysis of the Project on the Concentrated Drinking Water Source Protection Zone in Yilan County 9.5.1 Water Source General (1)Water Source General The concentrated drinking water source of Yilan Counry is located 5km Southeast in Yilan County, with the geographic coordination of east longitude 120°33′ and north latitude 46°19′. It is mainly for the water supply of Yilan County of the population of 80,000 -100,000. The water source is the underground pore water type, Class IV brand new gravel geology, within 3m of ground surface having clay and sub-clay, below 3m having sand and gravel, underground water level is 4m, air-wraping belt is 4-5m thick, the water containing layer is 4-15m. Supplying the air waterfall, Peony River penetrating and upper reach underground water lateral compensation in the direction of West, North and East, gradient 1.5/1000, compensation quantity of 2.14×104m3/d. The geological condition of this water source is currently not bad with Fe of 2.7mg/l and Mn of 1.4mg/l overstandard, the 10m surrounding wall of water source well affected the basic agricultural land within the range of semidiameter, no buidling project against the rules and possible water pollution source. (2)Water Source Well Location There are 11 water wells and 1 water source survey water-taking point within the water source protection zone in Yilan County. The water-taking well is 120-130m deep. Referring its geographic coordination to the table 8-5-1..

The related location relation between the proposed Jiaha passenger speciallized railway project and water source in Yilan County is as in the table 8-5-1. Figure 9-1 The location relation illustration between the proposed Jiaha railway project and water source protection zone in Yilan County 9.5.3 Analysis on the Proposed Project Impact on the Water Source Protection Zone I. The Relative Laws and Rules It is stipulated in the 《Water Pollution Protection and Treatment Law of P.R.Chins》and 《Pollution and Protection Management Rules of Drinking Water Source Protection Zone》as follows: it is forbidden to take any activitity destructive to water environment ecological balance and water source forest, bank protection forest and water source protection vegetation cover; within Class I protection zone, it is banned to construct any building having nothing to do with the water-taking facilities and to have sewage carrying ditches, pipes and oil conveying pipes passing through the zone; Within Class II protection area, it is prohibited to build, rebuilt and enlargen the pollution discharged project; within the sub-protection area, while the ground surface water is for complement, its water quality should no lower than Class III standard set in 《Ground Surface Water Environment Quality Standard》. Yilan County Government said the new water source had been under investigation and design in accordance with the Yi Docu.31【2010】 《Reply of the Agreement on Hajia Railway Going through the Drinking Water Source Concentrated Place》,that source will be halted before 2013. In view of the 4 year construction period of the project, the source should be stopped for utilization before the project openning, no pollution discharge impact will happen. Above all, the railway project construciton is in line with the requirement of laws and rules stated above. (2)Analysis of the Impact of the Construction on the Water Source 1. Evaluation and Analysis of the Impact of the Subgrade Construction on the Water Source Environment In accordance with the following conditions: the layer of the section Jiaha railway project subgrade passed by is Class IV brand new sand and gravel geology, within 3m of ground surface having clay and sub-clay below 3m having sand and gravel, the air wraping belt is 4-5m thick. The underground stable water elevation was 115m during the project investigation period, the subgrade elevation was 135m and filling height of 3-8m, water embedded depth more than 12m and subgrade elevation was 20m higher than the water-table level. Therefore, the subgrade foundation excavation would not reach the water-containing level, no impact would be placed on the underground water within this section. Peony River penetrating and underground water lateral compensation in the direction of West, North and East, gradient 1.5/1000, compensation quantity of 2.14×104m3/d. 2. Impact of the Project on the Water Source Supplement The underground water supplement at this water source is air precipitation, Peony River penetrating and upper reach underground water lateral compensation in the direction of West, North and East, gradient 1.5/1000, compensation quantity of 2.14×104m3/d. The project passed over the Peony River with the Peony River Super-large bridge in the direction of Northwest to Southeast, almost identical with the underground water flow direction(west, north and ease) of Peony River lateral compensation water source. Thus, the foundation construction of Peony River super-large bridge foundation construction would not cause the blockage to the the underground water; and neither would the subgrade works due to its location above the ground. 3. Impact on the Underground Water Quality during the Construction Period The current well depth of Yilan water source is 120-130m. The Peony River Super-large bridge was constructed with the deep bi-wall steel cofferdam. In comparison with the suspended matter amount produced from the relative super-large bridge founcation construction work, the water area was 0.01km2 with the accrued thickness value ≥10mg/l of the suspended matter during the single pier works and cofferdam demolish construction, the affected distance at the upper reach with the suspended matter thickness ≥10mg/l was 87m, lower reach affected distance was 239m, the maxium diffusion width was 11.5m(centered with the pier). It is shown that the suspended matter impact confined to the area near the working site, it is limited. Besides, due to the temporary disturbance to the river bed bottom mud during the cofferdam construction and demolishing, a large quantity of the suspended matter gathered in the steel pipe cofferdam, the impact on the water quality induced by the increased suppensed matter would ended with the finishing the cofferdam building and removing. Because of the Peony River Super-large bridge location basically at the end of lower reach of the water source make-up area, the temporary increased suspension thickness would not affect the water quality of the underground deep well. 4. Station Project Impact and Analysis The station project ground excavation, earth and rock works construction will damage the the ground surface soil structure, affecting the water content of the soil and penetrability of the soil; the ground surface physical property would be worsened due to the project behaviors such as the material piling, machine rolling and compacting, staff stepping and so on; the project disturbing the ground surface would lead to the partial water and soil erosion. However, the impact of those sorts are limited to the ground surface, less possible impact on the underground water quality. 5. Temporary Project Impact and Analysis The temporary construction site and working staff produced living rubbish, sewage would pollute the soil within the area, which could be reduced by the reinforced management, such as rubbish cleaning and moving out, no random drainage of sewage and concentrated treatment and so on, for a less impact on the water source. 6. Newly Plan Water Source Progress General and Project Impact on It and Analysis Due to the declining of the underground water in Yilan County, the water pumping capacity is decling at the current concentrated drinking water sources(the current well depth is about 120-130m), unable to meet the manufacturing and life water supply in Yilan County. In accordance with the suggestions of Yilan County Government, the new water source investigation and design will be on the going. At present, the new water sources are under the investigation and design, the Peony lower reaches ground water will be initially proposed as the drinking water source. In accordance with the 《Drinking Water Source Protection Zone Division Technical Stipulations》: the ordinary river water source: Class I protection zone water range length is the river area of no less than 1000m to the upper reaches and no less than 100m to the lower reaches. Therefore, it is suggested that the water taking mouth of the new water source should try to be selected at the lower reaches of Peony River. (3)Protection Measurement 1. Strengthening the water source underground water survey during the construction period, increasing the water quality survey frequencies to ensure a timely and accurate knowledge of the possible impact and influential extent of the construction to the underground water environment. 2. Making a rational arrangement of the construction site; no basement, girger precasting, earth dump pit, construciton camps within the protection range; trying to use the old road for the construction assess; trying to arrange the construction sites of the small scale outside the protection area, if it is very necessary to be set within the protection area, making a rational, condensed and less land arrangement to reduce the ground surface disturbance. 3. The Domestic Wastewaterat the construction concentrated area should have the temporary water gathering tanks, digestion tanks and drop pumping vehicles, having a regular moving out treatment of the sewage and garbage. 4. The construction material with harmful substances should be placed far away from the water source, all sorts of the building material should have the rain proof and shielding facilities, the cement should not be dumped on the ground, moving away the water materials in time and be out of the water source protection area. 5. Having a strict management on the construction machinery and transportation vehicles within the protection area, no oil leakage and random wasted oil; no machine and vehicle parking and maintenance workshops within the protection area; 6. The construction units should take an intiation to contace the divisions in charge of the protection area, arranging the works by relative protection rules. Making a rational construction organization and site layout, placing the machines of large scale outside the protection area. The transportation vehicles should be covered with the tent against the the dropping of material and dust spreading to affect inside environment. 7. Making a logical arrangement of earth and rock works, no random place and dumping. The surface fumus soil should be cleaned and moved to a temporary place within the permanent land, used for the greening on the subgrade slope and both sides of the project upon the project completion; using the film coverting method for the temporary earth piles against the water and soil erosion. Planting bastard indigos within the arch frame on the subgrade slope against soil and water erosion. 8. The construction machine maintenance points should be away from the protection area, and the hardened ground and dry tank should be made at to prevent the water and soil pollution due to the machine maintenance and cleaning. The strengened machine repairing and construction are necessary against the leaking, drip, spout. Arranging the oil insulation and gathering tank to deal with the manufacturing sewage. 9. It was suggested to increase full-time or part-time construction environment managerial staff and parttime environment supervision engineers and reinforce the environment protection rule making and performing for the provention mainly and against the water pollution. 10. An environment protection training should be taken before the construction to strengthen the staff protection awareness and standard construction behaviors against unnecessary pollution. 11. Making the emergency and precausion rules before the construction. If any water pollution event occurred unexpectedly, report it to the Environment Protection Bureau and Water Bureau of Yilan County in time and take the emergency measures against the water pollution. 8.5.4 Summary The proposed Jiaha passenger railway project passed the 10# and 11# water-taking well with the subgrade type within Class II protection zone. The proposed Jiaha station is at chainage CK251+570. The impact analysis during the construction period indicated that the project construction had no much possible impact on the drinking water source with the well of 120m-130m deep and relative protection measurement on the subgrade, station and temporary projects. Yilan County Government said the new water source had been under investigation and design in accordance with the Yi Docu.31【2010】 《Reply of the Agreement on Hajia Railway Going through the Drinking Water Source Concentrated Place》,that source will be halted and wasted before 2013, no pollution impact will happen would happen to the water source during the openning period. With the precondition of the no pollution drained to the protection area during the the construction period, Yilan County People’s Government agreed the project going through the area and having the stations. 9.6 Summary 1.Bingxi Station Domestic Wastewaterdrained to the Sewage Disposal Factory after the digestion tank treatment, its sewage quality was up to the standard of Class III of《Sewage Comprehensive Drainage Standards》 (GB8978-1996). The design is feasible. 2. Bingxi County Station Domestic Wastewaterwas drained to the Bingzhou River after the digestion tank and non-dynamic organism tank treatment. Due to the sewage disposal factory(scheduled to complete by the end of 2010, the recent treatment capacity Q=20,000m3/d) under construction in Bingxi,the assessment suggested that this station remove the non-dynamic organism tank equipment and drain the Domestic Wastewaterto the sewage disposal factory after the digestion tank. The sewage water quality was up to the standard of Class III of《Sewage Comprehensive Drainage Standards》 (GB8978-1996). The design is feasible. 3.The Shengli Station, Gaoleng Station, Dalianhe Station and Hongkeli Station were designed for the new life water supply with its Domestic Wastewaterdrainage to the nearby ditches after the digestion tank and non-dynamic organism tank treatment. not up to the standard of Class I of《Sewage Comprehensive Drainage Standards》 (GB8978-1996). The Assessent suggested the contact oxidation method and the sewage quality was up to the standard after the treatment. 4. The Jiamusi Station(old and new Domestic Wastewaterafter the digestion treatment), the Jiamusi Motor Train Parking Yard sewage(life sewage, digestion sewage after the digestion tank and anaerobic orgniam tank treatment) was drained to the East Jiamusi Sewage Disposal Factory, the outlet water quality was up to the standard of Class III of 《Sewage Comprehensive Drainage Standards》 (GB89781996). 5. It was designed that oil contraining sewage after the oil insulation pre-treatment at East Jiamusi Dispatched Locomotive Back-turning Station meeting the life sewage(after the digestion pre-treatment) at Jiamusi Dispatched Locomotive Back-turning Station, gathered in the pipe and treated with SBR technique, up to the standard of Class I of 《Sewage Comprehensive Drainage Standards》 (GB89781996), drained to the nearby ditches. The design scheme was feasible. 6. The over-bridge foundation construction should try to be in the dry season to avoid and the impact of the mub and machine leakage on the water quality in the reason. The sludge and mud water should be placed in the sedimentation tank at the bridge construction and moved away after settled and dried natually. The tank and mud pit should be filled with the earth upon the completion of the construction and recover the surface vegetation. 7. The tunnel leakage during the construction contained a lot sand mud, slurry and construction rubbish, the sand sediment tank should be placed at the tunnel entrance and inclined shaft exit to avoid the sediment of the slurry at the lower reaches and the pollution to the underground water against the underground water resource loss. 8.

Due to the high speed travelling of this project train, elevated line took a larger percentage, the evaluation scope should be enlarged. The television electromagnetic radiation impact evaluation scope should be extended to within 80m to the outer rail central line along the both sides of the project. In accordance with the requirement HJ/T24-1998《500kV Super-high Pressure Power Transformation Convey Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Evaluation Technological Stipulations》, the evaluation range of 500kV substation power frequency electromagnetic field is 500m outside the bounding wall. Due to electric pressure 220kV at the new substation and based on the analogue trial experiences, the importance evaluation range of the newly built traction substation is 50m beyond the wall of the substation. In accordance with the stipulation of 《Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Impact Evaluation Methods and Standards》 (HJ/T10.3-1996), at the transmitter power P≤100kW, the evaluation range should be the area centered with the aerial and the radius of 500m. In view of the aerial radiation power all <100W at the GSM web base station and 《Mobile Telecommunication Base Station Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Survey Methods》of State Environment Protection Bureau and Information Industry Ministry, the survey range is the 50m around the aerial; in the environment evaluation, the evaluation range also selected the relative radius, that is the focused range centered with the aerial and radius of 50m at the GSMR base station. 11.1.2 Evaluation Contents The evaluation on the electromagnetic environment impact included: (1)The impact of the electromagnetic radiation of train moving on the resident television receiving upon the completion of the project; (2)The impact of the industrial power frequency electromagnetic field of newly built traction substation; (3)The impact of the electromagnetic radiation of the newly built GSMR base station. The railway impact on the important radio facilities as the nearby guidance stastions, radar stations and radio telecommunication stations above Grade II belongs to the inter-system electromagnetic compatibilty problem, evaluated and demonstrated by the disturbance and protection departments of railway design units, not included in this evaluation. 11.1.3 Evaluation Standards GB/T6113-1995《Radio Disturbance and Anti-Disturbance Survey Equipment Stipulations》 GB/T15708-1995《AC Electrification Railway Locomotive Moving Induced Radio Radiation Disturbance Survey Methods》 GB8702-88《Regulations for Electromagnetic Radiation Protection》 HJ/T10.2-1996《Radiation Environment Protection and Management Guidance, Electromagnetic Radiation Survey Apparatus and Methods》 HJ/T10.3-1996《Radiation Environment Protection and Management Guidance, Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Impact Evaluation Methods and Criteria》 HJ/T24-1998《500kV Super-high Pressure Power Transformation Convey Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Evaluation Technological Stipulations》, electrification railway impact on the TV receiving adoptd the research achievement in the past, signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) at 35db was enough to receive the programs, image quality utilized the loss system of 5 grades evaluation standards of CCIR. GSMR base station electromagnetic radiation followed the standards set in GB8702-88 《Regulations for Electromagnetic Radiation Protection》, setting out the public lighting exporting limits, the average value of the field parameter of environment electromegnetic radiation in the continuous 60ms with in 24 hours should met the requirements in the table 11-1. Table 11-1Public Lighting Derived Limited Value Frequency Range (MHz) 0.1-3 3-30 Electric Field Strengh Magnetic Field Strengh (A/m) (V/m) 40 67/ 0.1 f 0.17/ Power Indensity (W/m2) 40 f 12/f 30-3000 3000-15000 15000-300000 12 0.22 0.032 f 27 0.001 0.4 f f/7500 0.073 2 Note: The limited value in the table refers that the overall electromagnetic strength(magnetic strength or power indensity) of all electromagnetic radiation at each frequency should not be above the limit of this frequency. The GSMR frequency of the project is 900MHz, the correspondent power indensity exporting limit is 0.4 W/m2(40 μW/cm2). If the total radiation could be no more than 40μW/cm2, the environmental radiation index is up to the standard. In order to keep the total environment radiation strength within the standard, the State Environment Protection Bureau stipulated the single project radiation contribution amount in 《Radiation Environment Protection and Management Guidance - Electromagnetic Radiation Environment Impact Evaluation Methods and Criteria》as follow: “to keep the public received total light dosage less than the stipulated value set in GB8702-88, the single project impact has to be confined to the one a certain number of the limit of GB8702-88. The large project approved by the State Environment Protection Bureau could take 1/ 2 of the field strength limit of GB8702-88 or 1/2 of power indensity. Other projects take 1/ 5 of the field strength limit of GB8702-88 or 1/5 of power indensity as the evaluation standard.” This analysis uses the 1/5 of power indensity as the evaluation standard temporarily, i.e. 8μW/cm2 as the project public lighting export limit. 11.1.4 The Electromagnetic Pollution General of Electrification Railway Upon the completion of the project, electric locomotive would produce the impluse electromagnetic pollution due to the sliding contact of electric bow and contact web, having the bad impact on the resident TV receiving alongside. The power frequency from the tranction power transformation and electromagnetic radiation at the GSMR base station will also make the nearby resident worry about the electromagnetic impact. 11.1.5 Sensitive Point General 1.

The Current Status Analysis The TV accompanying sound used the FM system, uneasy to be affected, considering mainly the image signal impact with the AM system. Making the adjudgement by the CCIR recommended image loss system 5 grades marking standard: 5 points was undetectable; 4 detectabe, but no disgusting; 3 disgusted a little; 2 disgusting; 1 very disgusting. The general practical limits: 3 points or above was normal receiving condition. Known by the research outcomes, D/U >35db, the TV image could reach 3 points or over, the normal receiving extent. Revealed from the tabe 10-2-1, 8 survey points used radio to receive 35 channels within the project evaluation scope at present, 18 of which channerl signal field strength reached the the applicable field strength value(V section 57dBμV/m,U section 67dBμV/m) at the service areas, 24 channels had the U/D up to the normal receiving requirement of 35db, 69% of the total channels. In general, the land along the project is reasonably flat, favorable to the TV signal coverage, cable TV web ratio in the villages alongside, most residents used the normal aerials with a not bad receiving quality. 11.3 Eectromagnetic Environment Impact Estimation and Evaluation 11.3.1 Eectromagnetic Pollution Source Features 1. Eectromagnetic Radiation during the Eletric Locomotive Moving (1)Contact Web Technological Comparison The electromagnetic amount produced during moving, has a close connection with the contact web quality. In order to estimate the electromagnetic radiation level after the opening, a comparison should be made between the contact web technological conditions of the related line having the electromagnetic radiation measurement and that of the project. According to the project data, the contact web lead was recommended to use magnesium copper alloy, the contact lead strengthing force was over 25KN, suspended with compensation elastic chain, designed speed was 250km/h. Accordingly, upon the completion of the project, the electromagnetic radiation source strength made during the locomotive travelling could be compared to the opened Jingjin Inter-city Railway. Jingjin inter-city railway used the magnesium copper alloy lead, stretching force was 27KN, designed speed was 350km/h, the basic conditions were similar to the project. Based on the survey results aless at Jingjin line, the train made the radio interruption at the frequency point 150MHz 2dB lower than the normal speed line. According to the research results in the past, the frequency linear curve inclining ratio of the frequency disturbance field strength at 30-1000MHz at 10m from the line was not changed with the speed acceleration.Thus, reducing electromagnetic radiation frequency property curve 2db at 30-1000MHz with the normal speed of 60km/h could be the electromagnetic radiation frequency property estimation curvte for the train at speed of 250km/h upon the completion. (2)Electromagnetic Radiation Property Change with the Speed The figure 10-3-1 gave the speed change curve of electromagnetic radiation receiving power level at 150MHz on the train at the high speed line(silver copper contact lead, stretching force 20000N) according to 《High Speed Railway Electromagnetic Radiation Source Strength Determination》. For the easy comparison, the silver copper lead estimation curve and normal speed actual survey curve were arranged on the same piece of the drawing. Revealed by the drawing, the electromagnetic radiation at 200-220km/h and radiation level of the normal line (50-60km/h) were basically the same. The radio disturbance survey results(not given in the drawing) at 15000N stretching force of magnesium copper lead of Qinchen Railway was 5dB bigger than the silver copper lead of 20KN stretching force estimation curve. By the rule of electromagnetic radiation declining with the stretching force increasing, when the stretching force is 1.5-1.6 times higher, electromagnetic radiation level reduced roughly to about 6dB. It was predicted that the disturbance at magnetisium copper lead stretching force of 25KN was 6dB lower than the Qinsheng Railway ata 15KN, and about 1dB lower than the silver copper lead at 20KN. And with the relationship of the silver copper of 20KN and normal speed railway disturbance, the estimation curve of Hajia Railway electromagnetic radiation change with the speed was known as in the figure 10-3-1. Figure 11-1 estimation curve of electromagnetic radiation change with the speed (3)Electromagnetic Radiation Frequency Property and Distance Feature 1)Frequency Property Figure 11-1 is the frequency property estimation curve at 10m to the railway of moving speed of 250km/h. 70 dBμv/m 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 10 100 1000 频率(MHz) Figure 11-2 the frequency property estimation curve at 10m to the railway 2)Distance Feature The distance feature is the lateral spread feature. It is refered that each frequency in the electrified railway radio noise declines along the vertical railway direction. When the distance along the vertical railway direction increased once, electrified railway radio noise declines: b 4.28 1.735 f In fomula: b:frequency distance declined amount,dB; f:frequency, MHz。 With the frequency and lateral decling property, the radil noise values of eletric locomotive could be calculated at any distance and frequency of the line by the fomula below: E x E0 b lg Dx 1 lg 2 Ex:field strengh value to be calculated,dBμv/m ; E0:the radio noise field strength value at 10m to the electrified railway ( dBμv/m), available on the frequency feature curve figure; Dx :the perpendicular distance between the point to be known and the electrified railway 2. The Power Frequency Electromagnetic Field Characteristic of Traction Substation 8 new traction substations were newly built along the project, considerating mainky the impact of the power frequency electromagnetic field and electric field on the human bodies, which could be analized with the survey data of the substation of the same kinds. (1)Comparison Conditions Comparing and surveying traction substation was Sui Mid-north substation of Qinsheng Railway, 220kV high prossure inported, low pressure exported. There are 2 main voltage changers with the basic conditions same with the new traction substation of the project. (2)Comparison Survey Contents Using power frequency electric field meter to survey the power frequency electric field; adopting Gauss meter to survey the power frequency electromagnetic field. Measuring meters and methods were in line with the international or field requirements. (3)Survey Results 1)Power Frequency Electromagnetic Field The traction substation power frequency electromagnetic field survey results were as in the figure 10-3-3. 220kV牵引变电所工频磁场测量结 工频磁场(mG) 6 5 围墙 4 距围墙20m 3 距围墙40m 2 1 0 0 10 20 1.5m垂直 30 1.5m水平 40 50 0.2m垂直 60 70 80 0.2m水平 Figure 11-3 Traction substation power frequency electromagnetic field survey results Shown by the figure, the power frequency electromagnetic field was a little above 0.2μT at the substation wall; no more than 0.1μT of power frequency electromagnetic field strength 20m to the traction substation wall, much lower the recommended value of 0.1mT in HJ/T24-1998. 2)Power Frequency Electric Field The survey results of the power frequency electric field of the traction substation were as in the figure 10-3-4. 220kV牵引变电所工频电场测量结果 工频电场强度(v/m) 10000 围墙 1000 距围墙20m 距围墙40m 距围墙 60m 100 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 距线下投影距离(m) 距地面1.5m 距地面0.2m Figure 11-4 the survey results of the power frequency electric field of the traction substation Shown by the actual survey at the substation wall, the power frequency electric field strength was no more than 300V/m and 200V/m or so 20m away from the wall, much lower the recommended value of 4kV/m in HJ/T24-1998. 3. GSMR Base Station Produced Electromangetic Radiation Properties The project radio telecommunication system used the GSMR web system settlement scheme, loading frequency used 885~889 MHz upwards and 930~934 MHz downwards. The single loading frequency maximum designed power was 60W, referring to table 10-3-1 for detail: Table 11-4 Base Station and Its Main Technical Index for the Utilization of Antennas Items Technical Index Transmitter output power (single loading Maxium 60 W frequency) Base station antenna height 40m,35m Increased 17dBi,horizontal wave band width is about 65°; Base station antenna parameter perpendicular wave band width is about 9.5°; Down angle of inclination is 7°。 If equipped with multi- Before the input of antenna, having base station combinator loss, wire loading wave, the antenna inputting power loss, feeder loss and function dividor loss. The project substation working frequency were 885~889 MHz upwards and 930~934 MHz downwards, belonging to microwave frequency. The value power indensity at certain distance to the aerial could be calculated by the fomula below: p d P G 4 r 2 (mW/cm2) In fomular: P—— transmitter power (mW); G—— aerial gain(times); R—— the axial distance of the survey point to the aerial (cm) Whiling working at the single load frequency, considering the feeder line loss before the aerial input and power distributor loss, the aerial input power was about P=19W. While working at the multi-load frequency, the value was lower than at the single load frequency considering the combining tool loss, taking in the single load frequency transmitter power and aerial gain dBi=17 (dBd=14.85), calculating the aerial radiation field strengh in axial and the semi-power angle direction at the differenct distances. The calculated values were as in the table 10-3-2, the aerial height by 35m at the Mid-base station . Whiling working at the Table 11-5 Radiation Field Strengh Calculated Values at Differenct Distances to the Base Station Single Load Wave(aerial inupt power approximately p=19W) Distance (m) Axial power (μW/cm2) Semi-power angle (μW/cm2) 20 11.55 5.77 21 10.47 5.24 22 9.54 4.77 23 8.73 4.37 24 8.02 4.01 Revealed by the table above, 24m away from the aerial, the field strength at any height was lower than 8μW/cm2, as shown in the figure 10-3-5 for the overstandard area. Due to the GSMR aerial horizontal wave band width is about 65° and about 12m at the position of 20m in the aerial axial direction, it was roughly determined that the aerial overstandard area was the zone centered with the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line direction. Besides, according to the vertical aerial wave bunch width and down-inclind angle, the aerial energy was calculated roughly focus at the point 6m downwards the aerial erection height. When the base station worked with the multi-load frequency, its radiation power was less than the single frequency output power, no impact beyone the single load frequency area.

After the project, the signal-to-noise ratio reduced quite much, only 16 channels left were up to the signal-to-noise ratio requirement. Due to the higher speed grade of this project, there are a lot of overbridges and high subgrades along the line. Besides the electromagnetic radiation, the fast movement of the overbridge train while passing by and the reflective shielding impact damaged the radio telecommunication channels seriously and caused the quick declining of the receiving signals and affected the normal TV receival. 2. raction Substation Impact Estimation 8 new traction substations were newly built in this project. Based on the comparison above, estimation analysis was as follows: (1)The power frequency electromagnetic field was a little above 0.2μT at the substation wall; no more than 0.1μT of the power frequency electromagnetic field strength 20m to the traction substation wall, much lower the recommended value of 0.1mT in HJ/T24-1998, 0.1% of the state recommended limit. Thus, the power frequency electromagnetic field produced by the traction substation was in line with the requirement set in HJ/T24-1998. (2)The power frequency electric field strength was no more than 300V/m at the substation wall; 200V/m or so 20m away from the wall, much lower the recommended value of 4kV/m in HJ/T241998, 5% of the state recommended limit. Thus, the power frequency electromagnetic field produced by the traction substation at 220kV was in line with the requirement set in HJ/T24-1998. 3. GSMR Base Station Afffection Estimation By calculation, when the GSMR bast station worked with the single frequency, centered with the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and the rectangular space of 6m downwards the aerial erection height was the aerial overstandard area. When the base station worked with the multi-load frequency, its radiation power was less than the single frequency output power, no impact beyone the single load frequency area. 11.4 Evaluation Conclusions 1. TV Receiving Impact Conclusions Upon the completion of the project, the signal-to-noise ratio of each channel due to the electromagnetic radiation from the train travelling reduced greatly. 24 channel of 35 TV channels receiving programs by aerials at 8 survey points reached the signal-to-noise ratio of 35dB required for the normal receiving before the project. After the project, the signal-to-noise ratio reduced quite much, only 16 channels left were up to the signal-to-noise ratio requirement. Due to the higher speed grade of this project, there are a lot of overbridges and high subgrades along the line. Besides the electromagnetic radiation, the fast movement of the overbridge train while passing by and the reflective shielding impact damaged the radio telecommunication channels seriously and caused the quick declining of the receiving signals and affected the normal TV receival with the ordinary aerials. Because the cable TV web ratio in the villages alongside was quite low, most households used the ordinary aerials for TV, it was predicted that the project construction would have an obvious bad affect on the resident TV watching. 2. Traction Substation Impact Conclusion Based on the analogous data, the power frequency electric field and the power frequency magnetic reaction were lower, in line with the recommended corresponding limit requirements in HJ/T241998. The corridor traction substation high voltage inported was not within the project range, its environmental impact should be organized by the relative electric divisions. 3. GSMR Base Station Impact Conclusion By the calculation and analysis above, the rectangular space, centered with the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m downwards the aerial erection height, was the aerial overstandard area(under control), namely, the radiation indensity outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with the requirements of GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996. 11.4.1 Treatment Methods and Suggestions 1. Suggestions on TV Watching Impact Treatment Upon the completion of the construction, the eletromagnetic radiation to the residents TV watching alongside due to the passing-by trains could be eliminated by the cable TV net connection, and the train body reflection and shielding impact could also be settled. Based on the estimation results, it was suggested to reserve the cable TV net compensation cost or satellite aerial purchasing cost for the possible affected households at the sensitive points. The total reserved compensation cost is 719,000 RMB¥ with 500 RMB¥/household, referring to the table 10-3-4. The compensation should not be made until the actual affected tested upon the completion of the project and openning.

Suggestions on Traction Substation Impact Treatments 8 new traction substations were newly built along the project, in accordance with the comparison and analysis, the power frequency electromagnetic field and electric field at the substation wall were far lower than the standards state recommended. However, in order to further reduce the electromagnetic impact and resident apprehension, it was suggested the final location of the substation be as far as possible from the sensitive objects as the residential areas. 3. Suggestions on GSMR Base Station Radiation Protection The project adopted the GSMR digital radio telecommunication system, but the station location has been decided yet so far. By the calculation above, the rectangular space, centered with the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m downwards the aerial erection height, was the aerial overstandard area(under control), namely, the radiation indensity outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with the requirements of GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996. It was suggested the location of the base substation be avoid within the overstandarded areas and as far as possible from the sensitive objects. 11.4.2 Summary 1. The Current Evaluation Conclusion At present, 8 survey points used radio to receive 35 channels within the project evaluation scope, 18 of which channerl signal field strength reached the the applicable field strength value(V section 57dBμV/m,U section 67dBμV/m) at the service areas, 24 channels had the U/D up to the normal receiving requirement of 35db, 69% of the total channels. In general, the land along the project is reasonably flat, favorable to the TV signal coverage, cable TV web ratio in the villages alongside, most residents used the normal aerials with a not bad receiving quality. 2. Estimation Evaluation Summary (1)TV Receiving Evaluation Summary Upon the completion of the project, the signal-to-noise ratio of each channel due to the electromagnetic radiation from the train travelling reduced greatly. 24 channel of 35 TV channels receiving programs by aerials at 8 survey points reached the signal-to-noise ratio of 35dB required for the normal receiving before the project. After the project, the signal-to-noise ratio reduced quite much, only 16 channels left were up to the signal-to-noise ratio requirement. Due to the higher speed grade of this project, there are a lot of overbridges and high subgrades along the line. Besides the electromagnetic radiation, the fast movement of the overbridge train while passing by and the reflective shielding impact damaged the radio telecommunication channels seriously and caused the quick declining of the receiving signals and affected the normal TV receival with the ordinary aerials. Because the cable TV web ratio in the villages alongside was quite low, most households used the ordinary aerials for TV, it was predicted that the project construction would have an obvious bad affect on the resident TV watching. (2)Traction Substation Impact Summary Based on the analogous data, the power frequency electric field and the power frequency magnetic reaction were lower, in line with the recommended corresponding limit requirements in HJ/T241998. The corridor traction substation high voltage inported was not within the project range, its environmental impact should be organized by the relative electric divisions. (3)GSMR Base Station Impact Conclusion By the estimation and analysis above, the rectangular space, centered with the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m downwards the aerial erection height, was the aerial overstandard area(under control), namely, the radiation indensity outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with the requirements of GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996. 3. Electromagnetic Protection Methods (1)TV Watching Impact and Protection Methods Upon the completion of the construction, the eletromagnetic radiation to the residents TV watching alongside due to the passing-by trains could be eliminated by the cable TV net connection, and the train body reflection and shielding impact could also be settled. It was suggested to reserve the cable TV net compensation cost or satellite aerial purchasing cost for the possible affected households at the sensitive points. The total reserved compensation cost is 719,000 RMB¥ with 500 RMB¥/household, referring to the table 10-3-4. The compensation should not be made until the actual affected tested upon the completion of the project and openning. (2)Traction Substation Impact and Protection Methods 8 new traction substations were newly built along the project, in accordance with the comparison and analysis, the power frequency electromagnetic field and electric field at the substation wall were far lower than the standards state recommended. However, in order to further reduce the electromagnetic impact and resident apprehension, it was suggested the final location of the substation be as far as possible from the sensitive objects as the residential areas. (3)GSMR Base Station Radiation Protection Suggestions The project adopted the GSMR digital radio telecommunication system, but the station location has been decided yet so far. By the calculation above, the rectangular space, centered with the aerial, 24m along the each side of the project and 12m in each vertical line directions, and 6m downwards the aerial erection height, was the aerial overstandard area(under control), namely, the radiation indensity outside the overstandard area could be lower than 8μW/cm2, in line with the requirements of GB8702-88and HJ/T10.3-1996. It was suggested the location of the base substation be avoid within the overstandarded areas and as far as possible from the sensitive objects. 12 Environment Impact Analysis of Solid Wastes 12.1 General This project will involve solid waste treatment for railway stations and entities along the railway, among which Harbin Station and Jiamusi Station are designated discharge points of passenger train rubbish. This project will have the following solid wastes during construction and operation periods: 1. Demolition wastes and domestic rubbish from construction camps. 2. Station domestic rubbish by waiting passengers. 3. Passenger train domestic rubbish. 4. Station staff domestic rubbish. 11.1. Environment Impact Analysis of Solid Wastes 12.1.1 Rubbish from Construction Period and Demolition Domestic rubbish by construction workers decays fast with odors and flies, affecting constructors’ health and the environment and needing timely treatment. Demolition wastes will be left from removing of houses and construction camps, and will also have some impact to the environment. This project will totally demolish houses of 47.83×104m2. According to demolition waste rate 0.68m3/m2 in experiences, the project estimated demolition wastes will be 32.52×104m3. 12.1.2 Estimation of Domestic Rubbish by Waiting Passengers at Stations and by Train Passengers Waiting and travelling passengers will produce some amount of domestic rubbish such as disposable food boxes, cans, glass & plastic bottles, shells and littering. 1. Domestic Rubbish by Waiting Passengers Waiting passenger domestic rubbish at stations is calculated on the basis of the designed passenger delivery. According to waiting passenger domestic rubbish of 0.0135kg/h·person and average waiting time of 0.5h, the calculated values are shown in Table 12-1. Table 12-1 Amount of Domestic Rubbish by Waiting Passengers at Stations (t/a) Section Passenger flow Waiting rubbish amount (0’000 persons) (t/a) 2020 年 2030 年 2020 年 2030 年 Harbin - Binxian 837 1039 56.50 70.13 Binxian - Fangzheng 755 948 50.96 63.99 Fangzheng - Yilan 704 883 47.52 59.60 Yilan - Jiamusi 648 808 43.74 54.54 Total 2944 3678 198.72 248.27 2. Passenger Train Rubbish Passenger train rubbish is mainly produced by travelling passengers and crew. 12.1.3 Station Staff Domestic Rubbish Various stations will also produce domestic rubbish in their normal operation. The designed new staff members are 1,359 persons. At a rate of 0.4kg per person-day, the calculated new staff domestic rubbish is 198.41t/a. 12.1.4 Sludge and Slick Sludge from sewage treatment in normal railway operation will be collected by designated persons and transported to garbage landfill for central treatment. Slick from waste water treatment is 0.09Kg/d. As a state listed hazardous waste, slick shall be stored according to GB18597-2001 Specification for Storage Pollution Control of Hazardous Wastes before sending to authorized receiving organization for central treatment. 12.2 Measures to be Taken and Suggestions In normal operation of the railway, the waiting passenger domestic rubbish at stations will be 198.72t/a in the near term and 248.27 t/a in the long term. Demolition waste during construction will be 32.52×104m3 and new station staff domestic rubbish will be 198.41t/a. If demolition waste can not be disposed timely, station domestic rubbish will destroy and pollute the areas along the railway and at the stations. 1. Domestic rubbish from construction camps shall be collected by designated persons and transported to related authorities for central treatment. Demolition waste from removing houses and camps shall be cleaned thoroughly and transported to designated spoil yard and other designated places. 2. ,With intensified management and promotion, as required by file 1996 No.9 Notification about Implementation of Railway Fast Food Box Upgrading, faster degrading or more recyclable and safer paper boxes and photo-bio degradable polypropylene fast food boxes. 3. A system of passenger train rubbish fixed point discharge will be established. Random discharge will be prohibited. As required by the Railway Ministry file 1995 No.178 Notification about Publication of Methods of Supervision and Management for Comprehensive Treatment of Railway Rubbish Pollution, rubbish bags will be provided on trains and discharged only at Harbin and Jiamusi Stations, where domestic rubbish by station staff and waiting passengers will be collected together and sent to environment authorities for central treatment. 4. Sludge from sewage treatment shall be collected by designated persons and sent to spoil yards for central treatment. Slick shall be collected and sent to authorized receiving organizations for central treatment. 5. Environment-related propaganda shall be made to passengers at stations to enhance their environment sense and minimize littering and environment impacts. In summary, in spite that the project after completed will increase solid wastes at various railway stations, with strict implementation of the above mentioned fixed point discharge, timely collection, central treatment and intensified rubbish discharge management of rubbish, the solid wastes will be taken into municipal rubbish treatment system or comprehensively recycled, and won’t bring negative impact on the surrounding environment. 13 Public Participation 13.1 Purpose of Public Participation As an important part of the kick-off or preliminary stage of a project, public participation has been included into the environmental impact assessment of a construction project according to the Chinese regulations.

Analysis of Public Participation Result The survey statistic result shows that the most residents and entities in the Harbin – Jiamusi Railway Project region support the project and have given their comments and suggestions, which are summarized as follows: a. Attitude and understanding of the project 86.46% respondents along the railway route highly support the project construction with 12.31% not caring, showing a fairly high support rate. However, there’re still 1.23% unfavourable respondents who are mainly residents to be relocated. They will agree if getting satisfactory compensation and if effective measures to relieve noise and vibration can be taken. b. Public concerned environment issues In the survey, the respondents generally recognized the importance of environment, with 70.46% respondents thinking environment “important”. Most respondents think vibration and noise are major issues and after that is ecological destroy.

Dealing with Public Opinions from Binjiang New Town and Jiada Community (1) Binjiang New Town Residential Area 1) Railway Route Selection Existing Binjiang Railway and Binjiang Station Yard have been operation for years. Binjiang New Town is a new relocated residential area completed in January 2010. The route close to the residential area has three parallel tracks. The closest building row is 25m to the existing railway and 30m to the present project. The new Harbin – Jiamusi Railway will utilize the existing Binjiang Railway to lead to Harbin Station. This is an urban route part approved by Harbin City Planning Bureau and avoids cutting newly built urban area. It is the optimum route and a necessary passage leading to Harbin Station. This route has been included into Harbin Urban General Plan (2010-2020) which has been submitted to State Council for approval. 2) Dealing with Public Opinions ①Holding Meetings The high number of negative opinions from Binjiang New Town on the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project has called great attention from Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Passenger Transportation Preparatory Team, the design institute and the assessing organization. They decided to further communicate with the public by holding meetings. A notice was given on August 23, 2010 to those respondents holding negative opinions about the time, place and agenda of meeting. Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Preparatory Team held a meeting with public participants from Binjiang New Town in the team’s meeting room on September 2, 2010. The participants included 8 representatives from Harbin City Planning Bureau, Harbin City Environment Bureau, Harbin City Daowai District Urban Construction Bureau, the Railway Preparatory Team and the designer & assessor Railway No.3 Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation, as well as 9 resident representatives of Binjiang New Town (see the attached name list). In the meeting, the Preparatory Tem introduced the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Construction Project, explained major related environment issues and measures to the resident representatives, and exchanged detailed ideas with these resident representatives. ②Dealing with the Opinions The representatives of organizations made explanations addressing each of the questions asked by the public: a. Addressing the Binjiang Yard issue, Hajia Passenger Transportation Line Company made a general introduction of the railway project. The existing Binjiang Yard does not belong to the railway project. The company will only utilize the existing Binjiang railway furthest from the residential area, and will not make any change to the existing Binjiang Yard for the moment. The public expressed their understanding of the fact. b. As to the resident concerned train whistle issue, as site investigated, buildings G2 and G4 mainly have the noise from existing railway passenger and cargo train whistles and Binjiang Yard shunting operation. Buildings F11 and F12 are mainly affected by Binjiang Yard shunting operation noise. Buildings D1, D4 and D5 are mainly disturbed by existing railway passenger and cargo train whistles and traffic noise. The following measures are taken to relieve the above noise and vibration: a. The noise in this residential area comes mainly from whistles which became apparent after residents of east building G4 cut open railway fence walls for their own convenience of crossing the railway, causing whistle disturbance to buildings G2 and G4. Hajia Railway will close the fences to avoid people crossing railway, and then the whistle noise will be effectively reduced; Buildings F11 and F12 are mainly disturbed by Binjiang Yard shunting operations. The new railway project will provide a 7m-high acoustic barrier and install sound-isolating windows on the side of locomotive shunting operation, to effectively relieve noise. Buildings D1, D4 and D5: This project will adopt level-crossing man attendance to reduce whistles. Besides, buildings D1, D4 and D5 will be installed with sound-isolating windows. In addition, train flow of existing railway is 12 cargo train pairs and 38.5 passenger train pairs on jointed track. The new project will have of train flow of 6 passenger train pairs, 56 pairs of 8-car high-speed trains and 29 pairs of 16-car high-speed trains. The existing Binjiang Railway utilized by Hajia Passenger Transportation Project will cancel cargo trains and the tracks will be jointless and totally closed with fence. Because cargo trains are removed, tracks and trains are upgraded, the project in normal operation will have an improved noise level than the present situation. The public expressed their support and positive opinion on the proposed noise and vibration reducing measures. b. The public concerned electromagnetic pollution issue was addressed by the designing and assessing institute. Harbin-Jiamusi Passenger Transportation Line operates by electric traction with no traction substations and GSMR base stations, and will not bring EM emission and harm to local residents. The public expressed their positive opinion. c. Also the relocation issue was addressed by the organization participants. This residential area is more than 30m from the existing Binjiang line to be utilized by Harbin-Jiamusi Line, and will not be relocated. After further understanding of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project and its operation, the residents worry about EM emission was removed. With the proposed acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows, noise level in this area during normal operation would be greatly reduced, which is convincible and supported by the residents. Finally, the Binjiang New Town residents expressed that their main concern was the Binjiang Yard noise, and understand and support the construction and operation of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project. 会议签到薄 Meeting Attendance Book 会议名称 Name of meeting 时间 Time 会议地点 Place of meeting 主持人 President 应参加人数 No. of invited participants 实参加人数 No. of actual participants 顺号 No. 单位或家庭地址 Address of organization or home 姓名 Name 职务 Position 职称 Title 联系方式 Tel.

Civil aviation Along the line, there are Harbin Airport and Jiamusi Airport. In recent years, the volume of passenger traffic rises rapidly with the economic fast growth and rising living standard. In 2008, Heilongjiang Airport Group Company completed a passenger handling capacity of 5.41 millions and a cargo handling capacity of 60,000 tons, in which, 4.98 millions passengers and 58,000 tons goods for Harbin airport;110,000 passengers and 226 tons goods for Jiamusi airport, accounting for 94.09% and 97.04% of Heilongjiang Province's total handling capacity. 4. Water transport Harbin Port is among the biggest eight inland ports in China and is also the biggest inland port in northeastern China. Its waterway routes reach all over Songhua River, Heilong River, Wusuli River and Nen River, and coonects with some Russian ports in the far east. Through the river/sea combined transport line, the vessel can go through Gulf of Tartary in the east and directly reach Japan , Korea , S. Korea and Southeast Asia.At present, Harbin has two ports: passenger port(Bei Qi Dao Street, Dao Wai District) and cargo port(San Ke Shu, Tai Ping District). 14.3 Analysis of engineering construction's impact on local socioeconomic environment 14.3.1 Significance and function of the line in the local economy and road net Ha-Jia Railway Line is the special passenger transport line also with inter-city transportation function, and is the important part of the rapid railway passenger transport network in Northeastern China. This project shorten the space-time distance between Harbin to Jiamusi even to Tong Jiang, Shuang He Shan, and He Gang, and will become the most expedient passenger transport corridor from the northeastern region of Heilongjiang Province to Harbin and North China. This project will enable separation of passenger and goods lines along Ha-Jia Corridor, and extends the HaDa special passenger line to northeastern part of Heilongjiang Province, which can enhance the northeastern road net's backbone and optimize the rapid passenger transport net layout in Northeastern China and build another rapid big-capability railway corridor with separate passenger and goods lines. This project is of great importance to solve the contradiction between the Ha-Jia Corridor's existing big traffic volume and small transport capacity and ensure the enforcement of state strategy- Revival Of Old Industrial Bases In Northeastern China. This line will connects with special passenger transport lines in the whole railway system via Ha-Da Passenger Line to run the rapid passenger transport net into all regions of Heilongjiang, extending the coverage radius of the rapid passenger transport net, but only giving full play to passenger transport line but also meeting the demand on inter-city rapid passenger transport along the line. This project will much shorten the space-time distance between Heilongjiang Province's northeastern part and Harbin, even Northern China. This will be helpful to sophisticate the Harbin Metropolis and accelerate the urbanization along the line. This project is also of great importance to the economic cooperation and integration in Northeastern China. Meanwhile, this project can also improve the passengers' comfort, greatly improve the railway service, and demonstrate the philosophy of harmonic railway for the people. Construction of this line and separation of passenger and goods lines in Ha-Jia Corridor will contribute to smooth operation of railways after Sino-Russia ports, cooperation of both countries based on division of labor to push development of regional economy and booming of border area in Northeastern China. It is a strategic choice to implement Chinese energy and sustainable development policies. 14.3.2 Necessities for the project construction 1. The project is a powerful action to extend the railway rapid passenger transport net coverage, adapt to regional climatic conditions, improve service qualities, embody harmonic railway and people oriented vision. HaJiacorridor attracts a large passenger flow from the following cities: Harbin, Kiamusze, Shuangheshan, He Gang, Yi Chun, etc. with a very big transport demand. So it becomes urgent to quicken the railway construction pace in this area. In 2007, the existing Ha-Jia Railway Line completed a passenger movement density of 7.29 millions (single direction), only second to Ha-Da, Shen-Shan(Qin-Shan) and Ha-Ji Corridor in Northeast China. Now engineering construction for Ha-Da and Ha-Qi passenger transport special lines have already begun, and Ha-Du and Ha-Jia new corridors are under plan. After it is built up, the line will form a rapid passenger transport network in Heilongjiang Province, and connects with special passenger transport lines in the whole railway system via Ha-Da Passenger Line to run the rapid passenger transport net into all regions of Heilongjiang, extending the coverage radius of the rapid passenger transport net, not only giving full play to passenger transport line but also meeting the demand on inter-city rapid passenger transport along the line. This project will much shorten the space-time distance between Heilongjiang Province's northeastern part and Harbin, even Northern China. This will be helpful to sophisticate the Harbin Metropolis and accelerate the urbanization along the line. This project is also of great importance to the economic cooperation and integration in Northeastern China. According to the survey on the passengers along the line, passengers prefer train as the cold weather is long in this area where the freezing and snow weather take about half a year. Under this special climatic condition, the advantage of railway transport is clear. So the local passengers more rely on railway compared with other regions and the railway becomes the first choice for more than 60% of local passengers. This project can also improve the passengers' comfort, greatly improve the railway service, and demonstrate the philosophy of harmonic railway for the people. 2. This project is necessary for the passage routes after Sino-Russia ports to be smooth. Russia has a very rich natural resources and its reserves of timber, petroleum oil, natural gas, coal and nonferrous metals are all take leading roles in the world, while the resources of timber, coal, petroleum oil, ore mineral, etc. are relatively scare and agricultural by-products, vegetables, fruits and labor are rich in China. This provides a great development potential and favorable conditions for both countries to have mutually beneficial cooperation and exploit the resources and markets jointly. In recent years, the business and economic cooperation between two countries is dynamic. Since 1999, the annual growth rate of the trading volume has been 28.6% with status of trade partners increasing rapidly. The corridor formed by this line together with the existing Ha-Jia Line is the passage routes after the Tong Jiang, Fu Yuan and Hei He Trading Ports with Russia on Heilongjiang River. After the Heilongjiang Grand Bridges are built up at Tong Jiang and Hei He, the transporting volume through the ports will increase dramatically. This project will play a vital role in the following areas: ensure the smooth passage after the above Sino-Russia ports, speed up the development of the ports concerned, enhance the cooperation and complementation between two countries in the fields of economy, push regional economic development and boom the border area in Northeastern China. 3. This project is necessary in implementing Chinese energy policies and sustainable development strategy. Dynamic growth of Chinese economy relies on the rapid consumption of petroleum and so it more and more depends on the imported petroleum. The rising oil price put higher pressure on Chinese economy. The characteristics of Chinese energy formation: more coal and less oil, will make China to follow the energy policy of Coal as Main Energy for a long term. So it becomes necessary to transform and use much more coal in China. The newly built Ha-Jia electric railway Line takes electricity as dynamic force and reduces the oil consumption, conforming to Chinese energy policy, which is of great importance to reduce the international political risk and ensure Chinese economic security and national security. In addition, according to the analysis based on energy consumption, the unit consumption of energy for highways and aviation are 2.3 and 6 times that of railway, respectively. In view of land occupation, fourlane express highway is 2.5~3 times that of railway. Meanwhile, this line uses electric powered train set without no emission of harmful gases. The railway also safer than express highway. Therefore, the special passenger line is undoubtedly the best choice in terms of land occupancy, energy-saving, environment protection, safety, etc. in order to build a resources-saving and environmental-friendly society and realize the harmonic coexistence of human and nature and the sustainable development strategy. In summary, this line will form a integrated transportation system with prominent advantages and reasonable functions between Harbin and Jiamus and greatly improves the transportation service level along this corridor. Meanwhile, this line, together with Ha-Da passenger transport special line, Ha-Ji Intercity Line, Ha-Mu passenger line, forms a rapid passenger transport net in Northeast China, improving the passenger and goods capability of Northeast China's "Three Longitudinal Four Transversal" railway network and significant to push the Sino-Russia trade and Northeastern Asia development. Furthermore, this line will give full play to the guiding and promoting functions of the rail traffic and promote regional economy integration. Therefore, this project is very necessary and should be given priority in state investment plan and constructed in time. 14.4 Land take, building demolish and relocation 14.4.1 Environmental impact of land take and relocation (1)Land occupancy This project will occupy a arable land area of 903.20hm2, taking 63.77% of the whole permanent land area (see Table 14-4-1for details).The railway's land occupancy will reduce local land area per capita and the local grain yield. Based on the calculations of the mean grain yields in recent years in the districts concerned, the railway construction will reduce the grain production by about 3836.5t/a, and will bring adverse effect on the farmers in the villages and towns where the land is expropriated. Besides, the project will occupy some orchard and forestland, which also reduce the incomes of farmers concerned. Size and classification of the permanently occupied lands by engineering design are lised in Table 14-2. 281.11 1.78 Fang Zheng County 268.18 109.05 Yi Lan County 293.45 6.07 4.04 279.33 128.16 0 4.37 43.76 65.29 157.72 0.92 0.49 174.68 0.11 174.57 113.18 0.14 5.44 1159.0 727.03 45.92 681.10 2.79 400.85 6.84 2.41 19.07 257.27 176.17 176.17 4.80 19.00 1.4 32.33 23.56 Total for Jiamusi 257.27 176.17 176.17 4.80 19.00 1.4 32.33 23.56 Total for whole line 1416.27 903.20 857.28 7.59 419.85 8.24 34.75 42.63 Proportion % 100 Harbin 1.78 Total for Harbin Jiamusi Suburbs 63.77 45.92 3.24 60.53 0.54 29.65 0.58 2.41 2.45 2.71 3.01 Non-exploited land 413.64 0.30 1.74 Construction land Bin County 105.70 Other land 105.70 2.49 Pond 116.94 56.22 Grazing land A Cheng District 0.27 Forest land 56.49 Vegetable plot Subtotal 66.79 Dry land Total Dao Wai District Paddy field County & district Municipality Arable land area Garden plot Table 14-2 Classification and size of land permanently occupied by the project Unit: hm2 (2)Environmental impact of land take and relocation The demolished buildings' floor area along the the whole line is 478,324m2, including 341, 100m2 for the demolished common buildings in rural area, 71.31% of the total demolished area;41,844m2 for demolished urban and town dwellers' buildings, 8.75% of the total demolished area. The total number of people to be affected by this project is 11, 659, including 3, 290 people/686 families in rural area, among which 2, 255 people/479 famalies are affected by expropriated land and 1,035 people/207families are affected by demolishing in rural area, meanwhile 220 people/46 families are affected by expropriated and demolished lands; and 4,672 people/1,194 families in urban area. The relocation will undoubtedly bring inconveniences to them temporalily. 14.4.2 Relevant policies and regulations The laws and regulations to be observed in the land expropriating, building demolishing and relocation are as follows: 《Law of Land Management of the People's Republic Of China》 (revised and effective in Oct., 2004 ) 《Enforcement Regulations for Law of Land Management of the People's Republic of China》 (Order No. 256, the State Council of the People's Republic of China, effective in Jan., 1999) ; 《Administrative Directions for Demolishing And Relocation of Urban Buildings》, Order No. 305, the State Council, Jun., 2001 《Administrative Law of Urban Real Estate of the People's Republic Of China》, Jul., 1994 《Resolution on Deepening Reform and Rigourous Land Administration of the State Council》,Oct.,2004 《Land Administration Ordinance of Heilongjiang Province》 (effective on Jan., 01, 2000) 《Administrative Directions for Demolishing and Relocation of Urban Buildings of Heilongjiang Province》 (effective on Mar., 01, 2002) Guo Tu Zi Fa [2004]no. 237 “Notice on Printing and Distributing 《Opinion on Completing the Procedure on Examination and Approval of Agricultural Land Whose Use to Be Changed and the Expropriated Land》” Guo Tu Zi Fa [2004]no. 238,“Notice on Printing and Distributing《Guiding Opinion on Completing the System for Compensation And Relocation for the Expropriated Land》”,Nov., 2004 《Administrative Directions for Village and Town Planning And Construction》(Order no. 116 of the State Council of the People's Republic Of China, Effective on Nov., 1999) 《Notice on General Office of the State Council's Forwarding the Guiding Opinion of Ministry Of Labour And Social Security on getting done with the exployment training and social security for the farmers whose land to be expropriated》(Guo Ban Fa [2006]no. 29, April, 2006) 《Executive Plan for Experiment on Sophisticating the Urban Social Security System of Heilongjiang Province》 (Hei Zheng Fa[2004]no. 13 ) 《Notice On Printing and Distributing the Method for Treatment of Disputes Over Compensation and Relocation for the Expropriated Land in Heilongjiang Province, General Office of the Heilongjiang Provincial Government》 (Hei Zheng Ban Fa 〔2008〕no. 4, Jan., 27, 2008) 14.4.3 Objectives of land take, building demolishing and relocation Land take and buildings on it to be demolished as well as relocation of residents on it is a complex social system engineering. To secure the benefits of both the residents and railway investors, the demolishing and relocation must be done in accordance with the relevant state and local codes and regulations. The primary objectives of the land take, building demolishing and residents' relocation for the railway are as follows: to promote the development of local economy, and give the residents concerned compensation not lower than their former income and housing levels. Compensation due to expropriated land and residents' relocation is a complex work with many policies, laws and regulations involved. The investors and constructors should closely coordinate with local governments and residents concerned. With the principle of balancing the benefits among the state, communities and individuals as well as reasonable compensation and relocation, the farmers whose land to be expropriated should be granted compensation fees in time, exempted of their tax on land occupation, redistributed with new land or arrange for other jobs in order to ease their economic burden due to land expropriating and give a perfect solution to their livelihoods. 14.4.4 Residents' relocation (1)Basic principles of demolishing and relocation 1.The rural residents take a large proportion among all the affected residents. Their relocation principle is to move backwards from the original sites and to open up new housing ground locally and ensure the new residential standard not below that before relocation. 2.The urban residents are mainly compensated in cash based on the housing market price. (2)Relocation measures According to the regulations relevant to the compensation for the construction land of the Law of Land Management of the People's Republic of China, the residents' relocation measures as follows: 1. Firstly, the developer is in charge of working out the action plan for the residents' relocation, and according to established land take scope, commission the local territory administration to expropriate the land, and pay the compensation fee for the relocation due to expropriated land. 2. After accepting the commission, local territory bureau signs the land take contract with county and township according to the state and local government's relevant regulations. 3. The county and township governments do the relocation for the involuntary residents according to relevant land take provisions. 4. For the residents involuntary for relocation, the government must ensure their living standards not below removal. 5. The residents to be removed must be compensated rigorously in accordance with the relevant regulations and polices and the compensation principle should be followed up. 6. Any problems arising in land take and residents' relocation should be solved in time according to relevant regulations and policies without pending issues. 14.4.5 Compensation standards and payment (1)Compensation standard Dominant factors and criteria considered in compensation cost calculation are listed in Table 14-3 and Table 14-4, State and Heilongjiang Province's Compensation Fee Standards for Expropriated Land. Table 14-3 State and Heilongjiang land compensation fee standard Class Arable land Fish pond, lotus root pond,reed pond, etc. Garden plot, aquatic land, timber land,pasture, etc. Waste mountain,moorland,barren beach and other land State provision Heilongjiang provision Calculated as 6 to 10 (1)Arable land compensation fee: 6 to 10 times the previous times the previous three-year average annual value of production before being three-year average expropriated. For those whose previous three-year average annual value of annual value of production are incalculable, the local municipal production before and county governments can work out the specific average being expropriated compensation standards for dry land, paddy field, and vegetable plot according to local situation by and report them to provincial-level land authority and enforce after approval. (2)For the housing land and rural enterprise land, as per 4 times the local dry land's previous three-year average annual value of production ; (3)For the arable land newly ploughed for less than three years, as per two times the previous year's output value and Stipulated by development investment also compensated ; province,autonomous (4)For the unused land and old field for more than four region, municipality consecutive years and less than ten years, compensate by two directly under the times the annual value of production of the dry land ; central authority. (5)For the expropriated fish pond, as per three times the previous three-year average annual value of production ; (6)For the expropriated garden plot, grazing land and reed bed, as per six times annual value of production of the same kind in local area ; (7)Compensation standard for expropriated forestland as per state relevant provisions. Table 14-4 State and Heilongjiang Province's relocation grants standard Class Arable land State provision Heilongjiang provision Calculated as 4 to 6 times (1)For expropriated arable land, as per 4 to 6 times its the previous three-year previous three-year average annual value of production, and average annual value of calculation of previous three-year average annual value of production before being production based on stipulations in 1st Item, Clause 1, expropriated Article 27 of this ordinance ; Garden plot, fish pond, aquatic land, timber land,pasture (2)The relocation grants standard for expropriated garden plot and fish pond as per three times the previous three-year average annual value of production : (3)For the expropriated housing land, rural enterprise's Stipulated by construction land, waste mountain, waste land, grazing province,autonomous region, municipality land , reed bed , unused land and old field for more than Waste directly under the central four consecutive years and less than ten years, and newly ploughed arable land for less than three years, no relocation mountain,moorland,barren authority. grants to be paid ; beach and other land (4)Relocation grants for expropriated forestland as per state relevant provisions. According to 《Guiding on Completing the Compensation and Relocation System for the Expropriated Land》, “ the multiplying factor for the annual value of production for the land compensation fees and relocation grants, should be fixed according to the statutory provisions with the principle of not lowering the farmers' original living standards. The compensation and relocation expenses are calculated as per the statutory unified multiplying factor for annual value of production and the farmers should be secured with the original living standard. If it is inadequate to compensate for the farmers' social security expenses, the multiplying factor could be increased upon the approval of the provincial government;Land compensation fees and relocation grants are totally calculated as per 30 times. If it is not adequate to keep the farmers' original living standards, the local government will have unified planning and overall arrangement to allot the earnings from state land compensated use by a proportion for allowance.For the basic farmland approved for use according to law, the compensation will be as per the highest compensation standard published by the local government. ” Compensation fee for young crop and overground attachments: Compensation fee for young crop on the expropriated land is calculated as per output value in one cultivating period. Not compensated for those capable of harvesting as anticipated.For the seedlings, flower and grass and perennial trees of economic value, etc., if can be transplantated, pay the transplanting expenses;if can't, give reasonable compensation or buyout. The compensation standard for attachments to the expropriated land will be agreed by both parties. If it can't be agreed, it is conformed through appraisal by theappraisal organization recognized by both parties or designated by municipal or county government. (2)Payment 1.All the land take and relocation compensation fees should be paid to the grass-root administrative units where the land is expropriated, usually to county, town or village. These grass-roots administrative units manage these compensation fees and use them in the production and employment of the surplus labor due to land take and provide living subsidies to the people incapable of working. 2.All the compensation fees for young crop and gainful non-crop land should be paid to the affected parties.Compensation prices should be based on classes of crops and cash crops. 3.For the fencing wall, water well, graveyard and other nonmovable personal properties, if they are damaged due to land take, the affected individuals will be compensated as per the property value fixed according to local situation. 4.The local government will arrange the residential sites for the emigratory farmers and compensate them the cost of removal according to local situation. 14.4.6 Relocation and income restoration plan The people to be affected by the land expropriating and relocation can be divided into different groups. Different restoration and compensation measures would be taken to the different groups according to the nature and extension of repercussion. 1.Usually, there are two ways to relocate the farmers due to the expropriated land : 1. The grass-roots governments redistribute and adjust the land and make a comprehensive development of the remaining land resources with land compensation fees, or adjust land planting structure and introduce high yield cash crops to improve its unit land yield. The affected farmers still take farming as main business, i.e., farming as way of relocation. It is expected that most of the affected people are arranged in this way.2. The village, town and other grass-roots governments develop the secondary and tertiary industries with land compensation fees, such as opening township enterprises, building agricultural products fair, to provide more job opportunities and turn the affected people to trade, transportation business, service sector, etc., i.e. non-farming relocation way. 2.There are a few low yield land and dry land in this project's land area. As exploitation and investment to these lands are severely insufficient, their yields are far below high yield lands. For these land resources, the local government can adjust the agricultural structure, improve the irrigation facilities, upgrade the farming mechanization, and develop the business in forestry, herding, fishing, etc. to improve these lands' yields. The loss to the affected people can be made up by increasing the yields from the remaining lands and the affected people can go on with farming. 3.The villages and groups to be affected by land take can adjust and redistribute land to the affected people and increase investment in framing land with the expropriating compensation fee or adjust land planting structure to increase its unit yield. If the village and group can't adjust the land, they can develop the secondary and tertiary industries with expropriating compensation fund, such as opening enterprise and building trade fair at appropriate place,etc. For the people with professional skills, the compensatory payment can given to the individual for selfemployment on voluntary basis after notarization. 4.For the temporarily borrowed land, only the output value loss and loss of original young crop and attachment during the leasing period are compensated. After expiration of leasing, the developer will restore its original farming conditions. 5.As the compensation and relocation due to land take are a complex job with many polices and laws involved, this assessment gives the following recommendations: (1)The removed residents should be given just compensation in time as regulations and standards concerned; (2)For some spreading farmers, they could be permitted to demolish old houses and build new ones by themselves and the farmers negotiate on the new house site with the village or group committee, and the village or group committee allots the new housing land to farmers freely; (3)In principle, the new houses should be built up before ole ones are demolished for the removed farmers. If demolished first, should pay the rents for the transition period; ( 4 ) Make the relocation plan transparent. All sides should negotiate through the whole process and the communication channels are available on all the levels. The affected people should be well informed of the relevant expropriating and relocation compensation standards, new housing sites, removal time, relocation ways, etc. In a word, if the corresponding measures are taken in land take and residents' relocation with just compensation, this project won't bring about big repercussion on living of residents along the line. 14.4.7 Analysis of impact on residents' quality of life As the railway is a linear project, the people affected by this project's land take is distributed and scattered in line form without whole village removed or occupied, and all the people can be relocated nearby. Losses of local grain production and forestry due to the land permanently expropriated by the project can be compensated by the local government with the land compensation fees by arranging farming and non-farming relocation ways for the affected people so their living standards will not go down. The permanently expropriated land and relocation of residents on it will bring certain impact on their production and living. But through local government's organized arrangement, exploitation of the potential capacity of land, corresponding measures to be taken, relocation with just compensation, the residents' qualities of life won't be affected much. 14.5 Analysis of railway's cutting and obstructing effect 14.5.1 Analysis of railway's cutting and obstructing effect When the railway goes through the residential area along the line in form of tunnel and bridge, as the railway runs underground or supported by bridge pier, it will not change the topography and landscape much with little impact on the residents' traffic and living nor bringing cutting and obstructing effect. When going through in forms of imbankment and road cut, the railway will much change the topographic form where it goes through and bring certain negative impact on the town area, village and natural region. This is mainly shown in the following two aspects: (1)Cutting effect on the neighourhood of the project area As limited by the topography, design parameters, etc., the railway line can't move around some buildings and inevitably goes through some towns' built-up areas, villages or natural regions, etc. , cutting through them and impairing their integrity. (2)Obstructing effect to the neighourhood of the project area The residents along the line, especailly on both sides of imbankment and road cut will be obstructed by the traffic barriers formed by the railway line going through it or enclosed by several railway lines and highways. They are also obstructed by railway line's enclosed operation due to safety reason. All these bring inconveniences and obstructing effects to the residents along the line. 14.5.2 Control measures The cutting and obstructing effects will bring a negative effect to the integrated planning of the region where the railway line goes through. The railway will block the smooth traffic between two sides along the line and affect the integrated planning and construction, exchange bewtween the people along the line, so it will impair the integrity and harmony of the residential area and conservation zone concerned;The inconvenience in traffic, etc. will form the man-made obstruction and weaken space openness and people's vision in the economic development. So compatibility with the external environment become bad.But these issues can be solved by building up pedestrian passageway, overpass bridge, culvert, etc. to make smooth exchange channels with the outside world. The main line from Harbin to Jiamusi is 342.057km long, in which, the railroad bed 150.142km long, taking 44.54% of the newly built line; bridge length: 172862.60 bi-linear metre/144,taking 44.54% of total length of newly built line; 9 tunnels(all are double-lane tunnel), total linear length 14.093km, taking 4.18% of total length of newly built line. After deducting bridge and tunnel length, each kilometer has 1.90 culverts on the average to minimize the obstructing and cutting effects on the zone on both sides of this project. The following recommendations on construction of overpass bridge culvert and pedestrian passageway are given in order to ensure minimizing the cutting and obstructing effects on both sides along the railway line: 1.When it is in parallel with or adjacent to the existing line, should guarantee the crossing capability of new line to both sides not below existing line's standard; 2.For the railway line section where there is village in the neighborhood, must build the overpass corridor to guarantee local residents' inconvenient travel; 3.Overpass bridge culvert and pedestrian passageway should be designed with reasonable distribution density after considering connecting the existing roads and people's behavioral habits to meet the specific needs for convenient passing; 4.The design of overpass bridge culvert and pedestrian passageway should fully consider the integral development planning where the line goes through and leave the space for further development to meet the future passing needs. 14.6 Analysis of impact on cultural relics and historic sites along the line Based on the site survey and visit to local competent authorities for cultural relics as well as the preliminary survey and collected data, we haven't found the valuable cultural relics and historic sites in the scope of appraisal so far. The nearest historic site is Qiao Nan Relics. 1.Analysis of impact on Qiao Nan Relics Qiao Nan Relics is located at the Class II terrace land on the eastern bank of Mu Dan River, about 1.5 kilometres to the southwest of Yi Lan Town, Yi Lan County, and 200 meters to the north of Mu Dan River Bridge (old bridge).It was recognized as provincial-level preservation of cultural relics by Heilongjiang Provincial Government on Jan. 10, 1999.The area of the relics is about 100,000 sq.m.,about 200meter long in its northwest direction and about 500meters wide in north-to-south direction. This relics was found in 1979's cultural relic general investigation, and was excavated for three times in 1997, 2003 and 2005: 17 house sites, 35 ash pits, ash trenches and roadways were found out. Among the archaeological objects were bone wares taking a big number, and nearly 1,200 pieces of needles, arrow heads, harpoons, ornaments, etc. and the rice mill was also found. The planned project goes through outer edge of the preserved cultural relics in shape of Mu Dan Jiang Grand Bridge, Yi Lan. The area where the project crosses over is the junction of the river courses. The Qiao Nan Relics is one the Class IIterrace land on the eastern bank of Mu Dan Jiang River. The project is about 300m away from the border of the controlled zone for construction.As the planned project is far from the border of the controlled zone for construction, the project won't destroy the cultural relics and the vibration effect during railway operation won't affect the relics either. 2. Other cultural relics’ preservation This assessment recommendeds that the project developer should commission the qualified company to do cultural relics survey along the line before construction. The workers involved in the construction should have a sense of preservation of cultural relics. Once relics is found, they should stop construction work immediately and report it to the local cultural relics administration in due course and take the necessary remedial measures. 3. Mitigating measures This assessment recommendeds that the project developer should commission the qualified company to do cultural relics survey along the line before construction: (1)Enhance archaeological prospecting before construction After the project plan is approved by cultural relics administraion of Heilongjiang Province, the project developer should assist the archaeological unit in doing the detailed archaeological prospecting of the plot concerned with the preserved cultural relics. Upon the approval of provincial cultural relics adminstration, they can carry out archaeological excavation to the plot where the relics may be buried and give scientific preservation to the archaeological objects.Any important archaeological finding should be reported to the authority. If it needs preservation to original site, the preservation plan should be worked out and reported to the authority for approval before going on with construction. (2)Enhance preservation of cultural relics during the railway construction 1)Give education concerning law for the preservation of relics and set warnings, signs and poster on sit. 2)All the building workers should be given education concerning preservation of cultural relics before start-up. 3)Any atnique found in construction will be excavated under the supervision of relics authority and cleaned up and handed over to the relics competent authorities in due course. In case of any important relics, should stop construction immediately and protect the working site and report to relics authority and take the corresponding preservation measures. (3)The estimated cultural relics preservation expenses in this assesment is RMB 7.697 millions yuan. 14.7 Cumulative/Indirect Impacts Induced land use development around the railway stations and related environmental issues were analyzed during EA process. The region where HaJia Line traverses has lots of economic hub with intensive and economic activities. Most of these activities are small-scale and in-city or localized construction projects, which would not have obvious cumulative impacts with the newly proposed HaJia Railway Project. However, the project will construct 8 new stations in small towns between Harbin and Jiamusi. Most of these stations will be built in undeveloped rural areas (see Figure 14-1). In total, the 8 stations will occupy around 150 hm2 of farmland. However, it is anticipated that, with the development of these new stations and supporting infrastructure, such as road, station square, indirect and cumulative impacts. This may include larger land acquisition and resettlement, community disturbance, dust and noise during construction and larger noise impact during operation. In addition, traffic on the existing road network, loss of vegetation, civil air-borne dust, waste generation, community disturbance and safety will occur. Figure 14-1 Current status of some of the Stations Bin County Station Site Fangzheng Station Site Hongkeli Station Site Shengli Station Site Yilan Station Site East Jiamusi Station Site The main impacts will be those occur during construction stag. These construction related impacts could be effectively managed by adopting proper mitigation measures, including, possible road and borrow/disposal site sharing, enforcement of good construction management to minimize dust, noise and waste generation; education of construction workers to minimize social disturbance and cultural conflict; provision of temporary access to local traffic; proper maintenance of the access roads and timely srestoration/strengthening upon completion. With effective implementation of good construction management measures, these common construction-related cumulative impacts can be adequately mitigated to acceptable level. 14.8 Mitigating measures As this project is supported by the public and governments along the line and the preliminary work was done well earlier, the impact of the project during the construction period will be weakened after mitigating measures are taken as follows: 1.Ha-Jia Railway Line will bring pressure to the environment while promoting the economic development of Heilongjiang Province. After the construction is completed, the market readjustment mechanism and governmental regulating function should be used to solve the issues such as possible decreasing of market capacity, etc. The government along the line should have rational planning for the new developmental projects and rigorously observe the relevant state environmental regulations and rules to enable the design, building and commissioning of the project's main works and its environmental protection facilities proceeding in parallel. 2.Enhance the communication between constructors and local government, do the preliminary work before construction perfectly, have the urban system ready for bearing pressure from the project, and enhance education to construction teams, and keep good relationships between the railway and local community. The developer and constructor should establish the coordinating body in charge of communicating with the local community, such as coordinating for building construction detour, site location, transportation route for large-sized machinery and vehicles, etc. 3.Enhance environmental awareness education to building workers and prepare the related rules and regulations. The appropriate treatment methods should be used for the construction effluent, building rubbish, and domestic wastewater and household garbage coming from where the building workers live. 4.The land take, existing building demolishing and residents' relocation will be done according to the state relevant laws and regulations as well as the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Railway and Heilongjiang Province. The primary target of the residents' relocation is to restore the affected people's incomes and living standards in a short time and minimize the project's negative economic and social impacts to ensure that they are at least not below the levels before railway construction. 5.When locating the bridge culvert, the designer has already consider the railway line's cutting effect on the residents on both sides. The designer should fully listen to the residents' opinions and recommendations to ensure corridor's quality and allowance for future development, and should also try to get the support and understanding from local people. In most cases, the new corridors and roads are kept in line with those of the existing railway line. During progress of the project, the builder should adjust according to actual conditions and minimize the impact due to change. 6.The preliminary work should be done well to get the strong support from the government and residents along the line by communication in time to minimize the project's impact during construction. 15 Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan 15.1 Environmental management plan This project must have overall rigorous and scientific environmental management and monitoring during the whole process in order to protect the environment along the line and minimize this project's negative impacts on the environment. This project's environmental management includes preliminary environmental management, environmental management in construction period and environmental management in operation period. 15.1.1 Preliminary environmental management According to the relevant regulations of Ministry of Environment Protection and Ministry of Railways, the environmental protection during preliminary phase will be done as follows: (1)Consult the following government departments such as environment protection, water reservation, forestry, etc. and the authorities of municipalities and counties where the line goes through at the stage of the preliminary feasibility study, and give analysis of environmental impact, pollution prevention and ecological protection in the chapters of design manual. (2)The designer gives environmental impact assessment in the dedicated chapter at the stage of the feasibility study, and arrange enough environment protection funds in investment estimate;At the time of preparation of the feasibility study, the developer commissions the company with Grade A environmental impact assessment qualification to prepare 《Environmental Impact Report》as the basis to guide the engineering design and engineering construction, implement the system of “Taking Environmental Protection Measures in the Project Design, Construction and Operation” as well as environmental management and city planning. (3)At the preliminary design stage, prepare the environmental protection chapter. Varied disciplines should implement the environmental protection measures specified in the Environmental Impact Report in their designs, which are summarized in the environmental protection chapter, and take the environment protection costs into the budgetary estimate. Accept the audits from Ministry of environment protection, Ministry of Railways, relevant environment protection competent authorities of Heilongjiang Province and take the results as basis to guide the engineering construction and environmental management. (4)The environmental protection notes should be available in the construction drawings. The building workers should receive the training on environmental laws and regulations ecology, pollution control, etc. before entering working site. The developer should view the environment protection engineering and main works being of the same importance, and give environmental protection requirement to the constructor's plan. (5)The developer should attach importance to the environment protection engineering in the bidding process. The bidding documents should include the environment protection contents. The developer should review the construction plan against the Environmental Impact Report as well as its approval comment, and define the constructor's responsibility in environmental management when signing the contract. 15.1.2 Environmental management during construction period (1)Environmental management system during construction period The environmental management system during construction period includes the three-level management system composed of developer, supervisor and constructor. It also needs the designer's assistance and supervision by local environment protection department to ensure the environmental measures to be taken in designing, construction and operation. The developer should monitor the project progress and environment protection status and have regular inspection and review of the enforcement of environmental protection measures and use of funds to ensure meeting the environmental engineering schedule. The developer should also coordinate the relationships of contractors to clear off the possible negligence and issues in environmental protection, and organize to solve the material environmental issues or dispute which may arise, and coordinate the relationships of the parties of interest such as contractors, local environmental protection departments, and the local public. Except under the supervision of local environmental protection authority, the constructor should nominate full-time and part-time environmental protection officer to have self-supervision on effluents, dust, water loss and soil erosion, noise, etc. on the working site. The constructors enhance their own environmental management and nominate the full-time and part-time officers for environmental protection during the construction period. The above officers should be competent and qualified engineers endowed with relevant responsibilities and power. They should establish the responsibility system and performance evaluation system with regard to environmental management and ecological environment protection and give the environmental protection training to the leadership. The supervising company should take the environment protection engineering and measures specified in the environmental engineering construction design and construction contract as main supervising contents, give rigid control on environmental engineering quality and monitor the environmental measures that the constructors are supposed to take in the construction. The supervision report to be submitted after construction should contain the environmental engineering supervising results. (2)Environmental management highlights during construction period 1.Ecological environment management during construction period The water loss and soil erosion due to this project mostly occur during construction period so the constructor should strengthen water and soil conservation during construction period and soil. The water conservation engineering must be completed in parallel with the railroad bed main works. The environmental protection highlights should be defined in the engineering contract signed by the developed and constructor. The working method, process and procedure should be rigorously reviewed and supervised. The construction organization planning should be complete. 2.The constructor should contact the property owner in time if finding any environmental risks such as bad geological condition, etc. when working on railroad bed and bridge culvert to work out the corresponding countermeasures and contingent plan. 3.The constructor's construction organization planning should specify the environment protection management system. The constructor should have sound organization and civilized construction in work. The environmental measures should be ensured to be implemented in parallel with the main works. 4.The constructor should pay attention to water and soil conservation in construction. The wastes are strictly prohibited to be discard in river, pond, lake, canal, etc. and should be shipped to the designated place. In this regard, the wastes should be contained first and then disposed off properly. The constructor take strict precautions against water loss and soil erosion in due course. The scope of expropriated should be rigidly controlled in the construction of railroad bed and bridge engineering. The work yard should be controlled in the designed expropriated land. The constructor should choose the infertile dry land or lease the living area as work yard as possible in order to preserve the natural vegetative cover. The principle of centralized earth taking and discarding should be followed. The construction detour should use the existing countryside roads or modified power farming road to avoid occupying or destroying the farm land and vegetative cover. The water reservation described above measures should be implemented. 5.At the working sites and workers' living area and other temporary facilities, the environmental management should be strengthened and the construction effluent should be drained into designated spots. The relevant regulations and specifications of 《Noise Limits on border of the architectural construction site》 (GB 12523-90) should be observed. The dust suppression measures should be taken on the site with big fugitive dust. After construction constructor should clean up and restore job site and handle with the household garbage and engineering wastes properly. 6.Get done with land take, demolishing and relocation and rigidly enforce the compensation measures; get done with supervision of construction of environmental protection facilities to guarantee engineering qualities and carry out the construction of environmental engineering in parallel with construction of main works of the project and prepare for operation with the main works' commissioning. 7.Carry out the environmental protection acceptance upon completion of works according to the environmental engineering acceptance method specified by the Ministry of Environmental Protection after completion of works and official operation.

It is exdended part of construction project environmental protection and also guarantee the enforcement of this project's Environmental Impact Report during the construction period. The environment protection supervision is related to engineering construction supervision but its focus is different from engineering construction supervision.The objectives of environmental protection supervision are: (1)To check whether the environmental engineerings observe the specifications of Project Environmental Impact Report that has been spproved by authorities; (2)Through environmental protection supervision,to ensure construction work quality, construction schedule, ecological restoration, pollsution control, water loss and soil erosion up to standard rate and satisfy the requirements of state environmental protection laws and regulations; (3)According to supervising responsibilities, power and supervising procedure specified in contract, feed back in time to the constructor and developer the construction not up to specifications or construction quality not meeting the quality requirements that occur in the supervision, and propose the handling measures, and examine and approve, correct or change as per established procedure; (4)Assist local environmental protection administration authorities in inspection, and provide scientific and detailed basis for solving the disputes with regard to environmental protection; (5)Review and acceptance on environmental protection engineerings with regard to their number and quality. Participate in acceptance on completion of works. 15.3.2 Environmental supervision scope during project construction period The environmental supervision scope during construction period is the project construction area and the area affected by construction.Supervision is done during the whole construction period. The supervision means include supervision and control in time by staying on site, periodic inspection of working site and nonscheduled spotcheck.To find out the problems in time and propose corrective requirement and check corrective results in time through environmental supervision during construction period. The main supervising contents include land and vegetative cover protection and impact of environmental pollution such as noises, effluent, fugitive dust, solid waste , etc. generated in construction. The key supervising section includes sections through water conservation district. 15.3.3 Environmental supervising organization The developer should commission the certified supervisor to do environmental protection supervision on implementation of environmental measures for railway line concerned during the construction period. The supervising station will arrange full-time or part-time chief supervising engineer and supervising engineer according to particulars and complicities of this project's environmental supervision. 15.3.4 Contents, methods and results of environmental supervision 1. Environmental supervision contents during project construction period (1)Spoil(slag)yard, construction camp, service roads' position, scale and project protective measure, and protection and restoration measures of surface vegetative cover at spoil(slag)yard; planting and plant protective measures in the project land area. (2)Control on noises from machines, transport vehicles, earth-rock excavation, etc. , prevention of fugitive dust and smoke dust at working site, discharge and treatment of production and domestic wastewaters generated in construction, control measures such as collection, shipping and disposal of building wastes and domestic wastes. 2. Environmental supervision methods during construction period Take patrol as primary means, aided wtih necessary environmental monitoring, in order to give necessary control on the engineering construction participants through environmental supervision, to give a full play to the environmental protection investment and enforce the environmental protection measures effectivelly, and realize both the economic and social benefits. (1)Establish engineer post responsibility and management system for environmental protection supervision; establish supervision workstation and finish supervision organizational structure, staffing, office and test equipment installation & commissioning at working site. The supervision station should be located near to environmental sensitive points with convenient transportation where the key engineering to be controlled are centralized. ( 2 ) Study the key points, specifications and standards of the working drawing design according to the engineering measures to protect ecological environment and control waste water, gas, noise, slag, etc. (3)Organize verification on site, and keep constructor well infomed of the technical details in time according to construction organization planning to make clear the environmental engineering contents, specifications and standards for its working section as well as constructor environmental protection organization, responsibilities and working contents; (4)Learn about the construction organization planning for the full line, follow up the construction schedule, get involved in key controlled project in advance, enforce supervision all the time; study the environmental problems ocurring in construction, and handle according to established procedure within the limits of power. 3. Environmental protection supervision means (1)As the railway engineering covers a large area and features lots of working sites and long working line, the environmental protection supervision is based on the principle of working sites and worling line combined, giving prominence to the key points, keeping one eye on full line and responsiblities based on working section. Send notice of correction and remedyl before deadline to constructor in time or report to property owner to give work suspension order with regard to the viloations and environmental incidents; (2)For the incidents causing severe consequences and material economic loss, should study the reasons and find out who be responsible, and deal with them via economic means or other forceful means; (3)The environmental problems due to supervising engineers not fullfilling its responsibility should be treated as per contractual specifications; (4)The supervising engineers' meeting is convened periodically for briefing on the environmental problems in whole line's construction and negotiation on the solutions to the material environmental incidents; (5)The environmental supervisor should keep close contact and coordination with the developer, constructor, designer, and construction supervisors, and periodically submit the specified ststements to property owner and change the design as specified procedure. 4. Supposed results (1)The constructor's environmental supervision will be enhanced. The standard working practice will give effective control on destroying of ecological environment and discharging of pollutants in construction in favor of the environment protection supervisory mangement of environmental protection body. (2)The environmental supervision is to control the environmental measurement relevant to main works quality and complement, supervise and guide the construction supervision; ( 3 ) Together with the environmental protection competent authorities, enforce the state, provincial and municipal environmental protection policies and regulations, and give full play to the third party's supervision. 15.3.5 Environmental protection supervision procedure and executive plan (1)The environmental protection supervision engineer will submit ststements and completion and test reports concerning the environmental protection facilits' construction schedule, quality control, quantity, etc. to property owner on monthly and quarterly basis. (2)Report the incidental environmental problems in construction and their solutions to the property owner in time on nonscheduled basis; (3)Negotiate with engineering construction supervisor in time with regard to the environmental problems relevant to civil work before and after railway station.

Measures to Protect the Land 1. Base on the technical conditions having been met, the principle of ‘bridges better than roads, tunnels better than chasm’ shall be used as far as possible for alternative plans, so to increase the proportion of bridges and tunnels and minimize the amount of land occupied permanently. Earthwork excavation shall follow the principle of ‘fully using digging for filling shift ’ for reasonable allocation. Take full advantage of earthwork from tunnel mucking and road cutting as roadbed earthwork and filler of temporary works and bridges to save lands of taking earth and spoiling (slag). These measures can ease the conflict between railway construction and land resource protection. 2. This project needs 485.80×104m3 soils purchased far from the program and transported by dump truck. Considering unfavorable repercussions might happen to the earth-fetching area, adhering to the principle of ‘protecting arable land, forest land, not occupying cultivated land and forest or as little as possible’, the choice of the source of soil is generally recommended by the local government an approved by railway constructor. The railway construction authority signs a soil source agreement with the local government. Based on railway requirements and actual local situation, filed investigation and negotiation with local county government along the railway, this design initially selects 12 earth-fetching areas which are all existing quarries. All soil needed for this project is purchased from outside and no more new earth-fetching area is built. Earth-fetching plan is feasible. 3. Spoiled soils of this project are mainly coming from lines, stations, tunnels and bridges, with a total volume of 1723.10×104m3. Among which, 1291.2×104m3 are come from lines, 208.62×104m3 from the stations, 128.39×104m3 from the tunnels and 94.89×104m3 from the bridges. 118.53×104m3 spoiled soils are surface soil with high humus contents, which can be used as green soils along the lines and stations. Others shall be placed at selected spoiled (slag) grounds. There are 45 spoiled grounds occupying 217.78hm2 selected in this project to meet the requirements of spoiled soils and slags along the lines. There are 4 types of spoiled fields, including 36 valley-type disposal areas, 6 ramp-types, two hollow-type and one beach type. Area type occupied along the railway lines are mainly forest and cultivated lands. The spoiled fields occupy 19.19hm2 forests, 71.18hm2 farm lands and 127.41hm2 uncultivated lands. Low-yielding fields in relatively poor conditions shall be selected as spoiled fields. The lands will be covered with 40-50cm soils after remediation and recovered as farm land to reduce the effects on agricultural production. After evaluation, 44 spoiled fields are reasonable. Another beach type is recommended to re-select. 4. This project temporarily occupies lands of 534.78hm2 and most are dry lands. Temporary projects shall consider for permanent use first trying to use existing stations or permanent land acquisition and urban lands within the range of station, so to reduce the amount of newly occupied lands. All temporary material plants for this project use existing stations and no newly built ones. Two laying bases are built in this section, respectively located at Xinxiangfang and Jiamusi Station. Use existing stations and no newly built ones. 5. Construction Company shall comply with laws and rules of The PRC Land Management Law and Implementation Regulations of the PRC Land Administration Law. Construction projects occupying cultivated lands shall replenish additional farm lands. If there is no condition to explore new farm lands, land reclamation fees shall be paid. A company that has the ability to add lands shall fulfill the obligations instead. The replenished lands shall be checked and approved by provincial land administrative departments. Land compensation fees, resettlement fees and young crops compensation fees shall be paid for land acquisition and used for recovering and increasing farms’ living conditions. B. Measures to Protect the Biomass 1. Little saplings or tree species with greater economic values suitable for transplanting shall be transplanted. Trees with little transplanting values or not suitable for transplanting shall use off-site compensation according to the principle of equal compensation. Based on national or local compensation standards, under the guidance of local forestry department, off-site planting or money compensation shall be used. 2. Subgrade Slope Greening Amorpha is used as protection when subgrade slope is higher than 3m, planted in a 3×3m arch-type stone frame built by cement mortar with cut-off tank. Thickness of the frame is 0.6m. 3. Station and Living Area Greening New embankment slope uses vegetation protection with trees planted in open spaces on both sides of the slope. Tree species shall be selected according to local climate and natural environment. Totally there are 375510 trees and 43729360 shrubs planted along the line. Grass growing and landscaping cover 237.52hm2 improve the ecological environment along the line and have a positive effect for soil and water conservation, thus compensating the biomass loss along the line. Greening measures of earth-fetching areas and spoiled fields will also compensate the biomass losses. For biomass crops reduction caused by the project construction, the homeland department will carry out off-site reclamation after the construction company pay reclamation fees to ensure no biomass reduction. C. Measures to Protect Plants along the Line 1. Transportation vehicles shall be sprayed with water or covered during transportation of sand, soil, dust and other construction materials prone to air-born dust to prevent the occurrence of dust. 2. The constructed roads shall be strictly maintained and managed to keep clean. Gravel roads shall be frequently sprinkled to prevent bad effects of air-born dust on vegetation and crops. 3. Main road on construction sites must be hardened with mud stones. 4. Earthwork must be covered or solidified if centralized stored on the construction sites. 5. There should be an appointed man responsible for cleaning on the construction site. Corresponding sprinkling equipment shall be provided to ensure clean in time and reduce airborn dust pollution. 6. Protection of Rare Plants and Old Trees 1) Try to avoid national protected wild plants and old trees within the range affected by the project on both sides of the line during the next stage design. Experts shall be invited to identify the protected plants before clearing the surface. 2) Construction workers shall be trained on environmental protection before construction starts, imparting knowledge of wild flora and fauna to be protected with pictures. Enhance publicity through issuing brochures and pictures or organizing construction workers’ representatives to learn relative knowledge. Construction workers shall be strengthened education on protecting wild plants. Regulations and supervision system shall be made to prohibit construction workers from destroy plants at random. If any protected plants were found during construction, it shall be reported to the forestry department for protection and transplanting. D. Measures to Protect Animals along the Line Systematic and comprehensive protection measures shall be taken during railway planning, designing, constructing and running to realize a coordinating development of railway construction and animal ecology behavior and minimize the effects of railway construction on animal ecology behavior. Although no large mammals are recorded within the evaluated range of the Ha-Jia railway project, and most are common species, and the project has few effects on population structure of terrestrial vertebrates in protected areas, some measures still shall be taken to weaken the impact of railway construction on animals. (1) Select an Optimum Route This project does not involve areas the major animal habitats along the line, nature reserves and other regions rich in wild animals. Bridges or tunnels are designed over the water, in the mountains and other sensitive sections that have smaller blocking effects to meet the traffic requirements of animals. (2) Strengthen Management Management is governed by men which can strengthen both management of railway construction and animal ecology behaviors. Railway project planning shall meet social and environmental protection demands. Railway construction and running shall specify clearly and implement strictly. Warning signs shall be placed on the sections where animals are found nearby. E. Soil and Vegetation Protection Measures 1. Transportation vehicles shall be sprayed with water or covered during transportation of sand, soil, dust and other construction materials prone to air-born dust to prevent the occurrence of dust. 2. The constructed roads shall be strictly maintained and managed to keep clean. Gravel roads shall be frequently sprinkled to prevent bad effects of air-born dust on vegetation and crops. 3.

Railway line programs in line with local government planning requirements or which relatively with less environmental interference are recommended to local alternative designs, and every recommended programs is environmentally reasonable. The project is basically out of the built-up areas of along the line; Harbin Station can use its existing station, while Jiamusi Station should be reconstructed based on the existing one, which are conformed to local urban planning requirements. 17.2 Assessment Conclusion of Current Environment Ecological Environment Terrains along the railway line are mainly plains and low mountains. The areas between Harbin and Bin County are mainly alluvial plains of the Songhua River, while the areas between Bin County and Jiamusi are mainly rolling terrains. Jiamusi is located at the northern fringe of Sanjiang Plain, with an altitude of 100m ~ 500m. The woods are mainly planted forest and natural secondary forest. Arable land is distributed along the line, with mild-to-moderate soil erosion. The ecological environment along the line is relatively stable, and the environment carrying capacity is relatively strong. Acoustic Environment There are 69sensitive sites at both sides of the project, which are affected by the existing railway. Day and night noise equivalent sound level of somesensitive sites exceed standards to some extent, the other 70 points are mainly affected by the noise from social life. Harbin Hub Section The Areas 30m Away from the Center Line of Outer Railway Track The recent day and night noise equivalent sound levels at the areas 30m away from the center line of outer railway track are 57.7~65.1dBA and 54.3~66.2dBA respectively, increasing -4.4~2.5dBA and -6.8~3.9dBA each. Thereby the daytime and nighttime noise equivalent sound levels meet the standards of 70dBA in the daytime and 70dBA in the nighttime stipulated in GB12525-90 Emission Standards and Measurement Methods of Railway noise on the Boundary Alongside Risky Line.

Noisesensitive sites in Sanwich Areas between Existing Lines and Newly-built Lines There are 3 designedsensitive sites belong to this type, namely N38 Shuiyuan Community cottages in Harbin Hub, N113 family member building of glass factory and N137 model village. The functional areas of these 3 noisesensitive sites exceed standards. The evaluation recommended that remove the N38 and N113 where within the scope of 30m, simultaneously take measures to set up sound barriers and noise insulation windows. As the households at the N137sensitive sites are scattered, the evaluation recommended that remove those within the scope of 30m and simultaneously take measures to set up sound barriers and noise insulation windows. Ambient Vibration The current monitoring results shows that 44sensitive sites affected by the existing railway, part of the sensitive sites appear higher daytime and nighttime vibration levels, the other 44sensitive sites are mainly affected by the vibration from social life. 1. sensitive sites Affected by the Existing Railway In accordance with the value of the sensitive sites affected by the existing railway, the scope within 30m in current mean vibration level of VLzmax is 73.1dB~84.1dB in the daytime, and 74.3 dB~84.3dB in the nighttime. 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the daytime, up 0.4~4.4 dB. The value in the scope in 30m and out of 30m is 57.0~78.6dB in the daytime, and 57.3~ 78.9dB in the nighttime, thereby the measuring points in the daytime and nighttime can meet the standard of 80dB stipulated in the Both Sides of Trunk Railway in the standard GB10070-88. 2. Othersensitive sites There is no significant vibration source existed currently, the vibration is mainly affected by human activities, the current value in vibration level VLZ10 is 49.0~57.0dB in the daytime and 43.1~52.0dB in the nighttime, which respectively meet the standards of 70 dB in the daytime and 67 dB in the nighttime stipulated in (GB10070-88) Standard of Environmental Vibration in Urban Area. (4) Water Environment Harbin-Jiamusi line belongs to the Songhua River system. In the run-through program, large rivers are Mudanjiang River, Woken River, Mayi River, Daluomi River, Xiaoluomi River, Demoli River, Feiketu River. In the Jiangbei Program, larges rivers are Hulan River,Pao River, Shaoling River, Mulanda River, Baiyangmu River, Chalin River, Wulahun River, Xibei River, Dagudong River, Xiaogudong River, Balan River and Tangwang River, as well as a number of small criss-cross rivers and irrigation channels. After testing, the water quality indicators of Mayi River and Mudanjiang River can meet the requirement of Class Ⅲstandard of (GB3838-2002) Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water. (5) Electromagnetic Environment In the 35 television channels currently received by antenna in the 8 monitoring sites, 24 channels reached the required signal to noise ratio of 35dB on maintaining requirements before construction. After starting construction, the signal to noise ratio of every channel declined greatly, only 16 can meet the requirement of signal to noise ratio. The speed rating of this project is high, with numerous viaducts and high subgrades. With the exception of electromagnetic radiation, as impact of fast movement of trains on the viaducts and reflection of trains and bridges, therefore wireless channel was severely damaged, and causing the received signals to be faded fast, which seriously affects the normal reception of television signals of ordinary normal antenna users. As the cable television network access rate is lower along the line, most of users use ordinary antennas to receive television signals, it's estimated that the construction of this project will have more significant adverse effects to the residents along the line on the television signals reception. 17.3 Conclusion of Environmental Impact Assessment Ecological Environment 1. The land use along Harbin to Jiamusi railway project is mainly in plowland pattern, and the vegetation covered in Fangzheng and Yilan are relatively better. Water and soil erosion is slight. The ecological environment along the line is relatively stable, with strong environmental carrying capacity. 2. In accordance with "China's Vegetation Regionalization", the entire line of this project belongs to temperate grassland region--eastern grassland sub-region-temperate northern grassland zone and temperate mixed broadleaf and coniferous forest region-temperate northern mixed broadleaf and coniferous forest zone. The vegetation types along the line are mainly natural forest, plantation, bush, meadow steppe, wetland and farmland. Common plants are aspen, red pine, Lespedeza bicolor etc. In the engineering evaluation area, there are 3 species of national secondclass protective plants, namely tilia amurensis, Fraxinus mandshurica and Phellodendron amurense, which are not scattered in the construction land of the project. 3. In the zoogeographical division, the areas along the line belong to Songliao Plain region, Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing'an Mountain region. As the human activities in the areas are frequent, and most of the areas alone the line are farmland and villages, coupled with the impact of existing Tongsan Expressway, G211 and railway, the animal resources along the region are scarce, and more of them are common species. There are 28 species protected animals along the project, of which 26 species of birds (20 species of stateⅡprotected birds and 6 species of Heilongjiang provincial protected birds). There are 2 species provincial protected animals in reptiles. 4. The permanent areas covered in the project comprise roadbed area, station area, bridge and culvert area, and tunnel entrance area, covering a total area of 1416.27hm2. In the types of newlyadded land acquisition, 903.20hm2 of cultivated land, accounting for 63.77%; 419.85 hm2 of woodland, accounting for 29.65%; 42.63hm2 of construction land, accounting for 3.01%; 7.59hm2 of orchards, accounting for 0.54%; 8.24hm2 of pond, accounting for 0.58%. The permanent land use for the project has only minimal impact to the patterns of land utilization along the line. In the design, the project has been considered reducing land occupation. Moreover, as the project is in linear distribution, the impact can be minimized by taking the measures of economic compensation for land reclamation and restoration. 5. The temporary land occupation of this project covers an area of 534.78hm2, most of which is dry land. In the temporary works, permanent-temporary integration should be prioritized. The permanent land acquisition and urban land in existing venues or the scope of stations should be utilized as much as possible so as to reduce new land occupation. All temporary material plants for the project are made use of the existing stations without newly-added land. 2 track laying bases will be set up in this section, respectively in Harbin Xinxiangfang Station and Jiamusi Station. The existing stations are utilized without any newly-added land. 6. The engineering construction will tie up a permanent forest of 419.85hm2. In the next stage of design, the cutting for varieties of trees and quantity will be further clear. In the process of design and construction, if any state or local protected varieties of trees should be transplanted. Any small seedlings suitable for transplanting or the varieties of trees with great economic value should be transplanted as well. For the trees with less transplanting value or not suitable for transplanting, an off-site compensation shall be taken based on the principle of equal compensation in accordance with the state or local standards of compensation. The off-site replanting or monetary compensation shall be conducted under the guidance of local forestry department. The greening measures for the project, such as greening the roadbed slope with arbors or shrubs, setting forest in subgrade in wind drift sand regions, greening temporary venues, earth borrowing areas and spoil(slag) ground, will be taken. A total of 375510 arbors and 43729000.36 shrubs will be planted newly. The area of sowing grass and landscaping covers 237.52hm2, playing a positive role to improve the ecological environment along the line. 7. The total length of the 144 bridges along the trunk line is 172862.60 linear meters, accounting for 51.28% of the newly-built line, of which 157506.23 linear meters in 88 two-lane grand bridges, 15084.71 linear meters in 53 two-lane bridges, 206.46 linear meters in 2 two-lane medium bridges, 65.2 linear meters in one steel medium bridge. 294 culverts will be newly built, with the exception of the length of bridges and tunnels, average 1.90 culverts per kilometer will be built along the line. One cross-over is designed in crossing high-grade roads, without any piers in the middle of roads and embankment slopes. Simultaneously the impact to the normal use from the bridge foundation construction should be taken into account. Above measures will meet the normal activities and passing of persons and animals from one side to the other side. In the design for bridges and culverts, the drainage, irrigation, surface runoff, staff travel, animals channel and other requirements should be taken into account fully. The bridges and culverts will be designed in accordance with the water level of 1/100(1/300 is adopted in Yilan Mudanjiang River Grand Bridge for checking), simultaneously drainages will be arranged in both sides of the railway, and the impact to rivers, drainage, irrigation, surface overland flow, animal channels and other aspects will be minimized. 8. In the run-through program of Harbin-Jiamusi railway, 9 two-lane tunnels will be built, with a total linear meters of 14.093kmm, accounting for 4.18% of the total length of the newly-built line. It's recommended that single-port construction and single-port slag methods should be taken in the tunnel with a length of less 500m, so as to reduce damage to the surrounding environment. Through the analysis on the impact to the vegetation on the top of the tunnel when in tunnel construction, the results show that the water inflow from outside of the tunnel is less, and the leakage is mainly the trace water from bedrock fissure. The water used for vegetation on tunnel mountaintop is mainly from natural rainfall, and the engineering construction is basically without any impact to the growth of the vegetation. There are only two residential zones in the area 1000m away the entrance and exit of tunnel. The groundwater is used for daily production and life, and the waterpower contact between tunnel body and residential areas is less, and the impact to the residents' drinking water from tunnel construction is less as well. There are 478 subgrade construction sites in individual design, with a total length of 150.142km, accounting for 45.34% of the total length of the newly-built line. The types of construction site are mainly cut slopes protection and deep cutting, cohesive soil embankment and soft groundwork etc. 10. The newly-added soil erosion is 14.10×104t. The amount of soil erosion in construction period is much larger than of which in natural recovery, thereby the construction period is the key period for preventing soil erosion. Feasible engineering, plant protection and temporary protective measures must be developed so as to implement targeted rational treatment to the section possibly causing soil erosion to achieve effective soil erosion control. The earth and stone aggregate 4111.78 × 104m3 in the entire line, of which 1437.24×104m3 of filling, 2674.54×104m3 of excavated volume. The filling earth should be utilized for excavation works as much as possible, and the utilization earth is 951.44×104m3, while the total disposable soil is 1723.10×104m3, of which topsoil of 118.53×104m3 can be recycled as greening soil, the other 1604.57×104m3 of disposable soil will be taken as permanent spoil (slag) to be thrown away in spoil disposal areas. In the design program, 12 borrow areas are initially selected, and all of them are the existing quarries. A total of 45 spoil (slag) fields are selected, covering an area of 217.78hm2, which can be used for debris accumulation. Through corresponding engineering protection and greening prevention measures for cut-fill transition, borrow site, spoil (slag) field, roadbed slope, spoil of bridges and culverts. The implementation of such measures will be beneficial for lightening the impact to the ecological environment caused by earth works and reducing soil erosion. Acoustic Environment 1. There are 139sensitive sites in the assessment domain, including 21 Special sensitive sites and 118 centralized residential quarters. The residential quarters 30 meters away from the center line of outer railway track in the assessment domain should be implemented with the 70dBA/70dBA limits stipulated in ( GB12525-90 ) Emission Standards and Measurement Methods of Railway Noise on the Boundary Alongside Risky Line. The regions with functional divisions along the line should be implemented with corresponding standards of noise functional zoning. The regions along the line are mostly rural areas without noise functional zoning. The rural residential areas without noise functional zoning should be implemented with the standards for ClassⅡ division. The urban areas with noise functional zoning should be implemented with the requirements of corresponding functional zoning. The schools, hospitals and other Special sensitive sites in the assessment domain should be implemented with the outdoor standards of 60dBA in the daytime and 50dBA in the nighttime (with accommodation requirements). 2. The current monitoring results show that the day and night noise equivalent sound levels of sensitive targets in the project are 50.2 ~ 71.8dBA and 43.1 ~ 72.5dBA respectively. The day and night noise equivalent sound levels for the areas 30 meters away from the center line of outer railway track shall meet the standards of 70dBA in the daytime and 70dBA in the nighttime stipulated in Emission Standards and Measurement Methods of Railway Noise on the Boundary Alongside Risky Line. 3. Environmental Protection Measures Proposed in the Report (1) In the construction period, the environmental protection measures proposed in the Report are as follows: with rational arrangement of construction sites, the construction machines with large noise should be arranged at the side far away from residential areas; with rational arrangement of construction time, the works with high noise exposure should be arranged in the daytime as far as possible. Required continuous operation or special needs due to the production process requirements should be reported to relevant competent administrative department; strengthening the environmental noise monitoring in the construction period. (2)In accordance with the prediction of environmental noise, integrated with the scale of the sensitive sites and terrain conditions around them and other site conditions, 46 3.15-meter high noise barriers, with a total length of 15380 of linear meters will be installed in bridge sections.43 3-meter 3.15-meter high noise barriers with a total length of 12096 linear meters will be installed in subgrade sections. One 7-meter high noise barrier with a total length of 380 linear meters will be installed in subgrade sections.132 noise insulation ventilation windows with a total area of 107550m2 will be installed. In the period of test run after completion, the noise level atsensitive sites will be measured. If the noise level is actually out of limits, above measures will be implemented. (3)Integrated with vibration prediction and measures taken, 1194 households insensitive sites should be removed. (4) The investment for noise environmental protection in the entire line is 270187000 Yuan. Ambient Vibration In accordance with the value of the sensitive sites affected by the existing railway, the scope within 30m in current mean vibration level of VLzmax is 73.1dB~84.1dB in the daytime, and 74.3 dB~84.3dB in the nighttime. 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the daytime, increasing 0.1~4.1dB, and 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the nighttime, increasing 0.4~4.4 dB. The value in the scope within 30m and out of 30m is 57.0~78.6dB in the daytime, and 57.3~78.9dB in the nighttime, thereby the measuring points in the daytime and nighttime can meet the standard of 80dB stipulated in the Both Sides of Trunk Railway in the standard GB10070-88. There is no significant vibration source existed currently, the vibration is mainly affected by human activities, the current value in vibration level VLZ10 is 49.0~57.0dB in the daytime and 43.1~52.0dB in the nighttime, both meet the standards of 70 dB in the daytime and 67 dB in the nighttime stipulated in (GB10070-88) Standard of Environmental Vibration in Urban Area. 2. The Z vibration level evaluation value of 50 measuring points in the areas 30m away from the outer railway track of the line is 70.1-81.9dB in the daytime and 70.1-82.7dB in the nighttime. 6 measuring points in the daytime exceed 80dB, increasing 1.0-1.9dB, while 11 measuring points in the nighttime exceed 80dB, increasing 0.8-2.7dB. The Z vibration level evaluation value of 83 measuring points in the areas 30m away from the outer railway track and outside areas is 52.977.2dB in the daytime and 53.5-77.9dB in the nighttime, all measuring points meet the standard of 80dB stipulated in the Both Sides of Trunk Railway in the standard GB10070-88. 3. In the environmental assessment, combined with the noise control measures, 438 households in the sensitive sites along the railway will be implemented with the relocation, and the investment is included in the noise control fees, so as to lighten the impact to the residents’ lives caused by railway vibration. 4. We recommended that the planning, construction and environmental protection departments of local governments along the lines take full account of the situation of higher vibration level of the land at both sides of the railway along the line when in planning and management to designate a range of buffer zones and to prohibit anyone from newly building residential buildings, schools, hospitals and other vibration-sensitive buildings 30m within both sides of the line. 5. As part of machines during construction period will cause vibration of the surrounding environment, a rational operation sequence should be arranged and a certain protective measures should be taken. Moreover, the environmental awareness of construction workers should be raised, so as to effectively reduce the impact of environmental vibration during construction. After the completion of construction, the impact of environmental vibration will disappear. Water Environment 1. The domestic sewage in Binxi Station will be discharged into a sewage treatment plant after being treated by septic tanks, thereby the sewage quality can meet Grade III standard of (GB89781996) Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard. The design proposal is feasible. 2. The domestic sewage in Binzhou County Station will be discharged into Binzhou River after being treated by septic tanks and unpowered biological treatment tanks. As Bin County Sewage Treatment Plant (planned to be completed in 2010, with a recent treatment capacity of Q = 20000 m3/d), therefore, in the environmental assessment, it is recommended that the unpowered biological treatment tanks should be cancelled, and the domestic sewage from this station is discharged into a sewage treatment plant after being treated by septic tanks, thereby the sewage quality can meet Grade III standard of (GB8978-1996) Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard. 3. Shengli Station, Gaoleng Station, Dalian River Station and Hongkeli Station are newly-built domestic water supply stations, and their domestic sewage is discharged into nearby ditches after being treated by septic tanks and unpowered biological treatment tanks, which cannot meet the primary standard of GB8978-1996 Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard. In the environmental assessment, it’s proposed that the domestic sewage should be treated by contact oxidation treatment,and the sewage after treatment will meet the standards. 4. Sewage of Jiamusi station (existing and new domestic sewage dealt by septic-tank) and Jiamusi motor train storage yard (domestic sewage, fecal sewage dealt by septic-tank and anaerobic biological filter) is discharged into the sewage treatment plant of east area of Jiamusi and the main discharge hole’s water quality meets the third-level standard of integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996). 5. After preprocessed, oily sewage of west Jiamusi accrediting locomotive back-turning section and domestic sewage of East Jiamusi station and Jiamusi accrediting locomotive back-turning section (preprocessed by septic-tank) will be processed by SBR technology after pipeline collecting, while meeting the first-level standard of integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996), discharge them into neighbouring irrigation canals and ditches. This design proposal is feasible. 6. The foundation construction of river-crossing bridge should start at dry season to the greatest extent to avoid water quality effect of mud and mechanical oil leak caused by construction of rainy season. We should build settling pond for sludge and muddy water during bridge construction, after natural drying carry away the sediment. When construction finished, fill mud pit and settling pond with soil and recover the ground vegetation. 7. Tunnel water leak during construction contains vast silt, slurry and construction rubbish, so we should build a grit chamber at entrances of tunnel and inclined shaft to effectively avoid slurry clogging of lower reaches of river and pollution of ground water, thereby reduce groundwater resources’ loss. 8. During construction process, we should strictly manage construction machinery, strengthen environmental protection consciousness, and comply with the requirements of local environmental protection department to avoid big impact on the surrounding water environment. While construction finished, water pollution caused by job location will disappear naturally. Atmospheric Environment 1. The project newly added 5 coal-fired boilers of 0.7MW for Binxi station, Shengli station, gaoleng station, Dalianhe station and Hongkeli station. According to the seventh article of No.121 of Harbin People's Government Decree-Harbin Scattered Burning Pollution Prevention Measures of Coal, the evaluation suggests above stations to use moulded coal burning boilers with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the standard. 2. The project newly added 6 coal-fired boilers of 1.4MW for Binzhou station, Fangzheng station, Jiamusi motor train storage yard, East Jiamusi and accrediting locomotive back-turning section. According to the seventh article of No.121 of Harbin People's Government Decree-Harbin Scattered Burning Pollution Prevention Measures of Coal, the evaluation suggests above stations to use moulded coal burning boilers with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the standard. 3. Because of Yilan station is located at the second-level water source protection zone of concentrating potable water of Yilan County, the People's Government of Yilan indicates that the County is prospecting and devising new water head site, the old water head site will be out of service before 2013, the new project will last 4 years (planning to start in July of 2010 and complete in June of 2014), so before the new project’s operation, the old water head site has been out of service, without pollution discharge existing. The People's Government of Yilan agreed construction line’s passing through the second-level water source protection zone with a file of YZH No. [2010]31. The project plans to add 2 coal-fired boilers of 0.7MW for Yilan station, according to the seventh article of No.121 of Harbin People's Government Decree-Harbin Scattered Burning Pollution Prevention Measures of Coal, the evaluation suggests the station to use moulded coal burning boiler with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the standard. 4. Heating of Jiamusi station can be connected with municipal heating system, without discharging atmospheric impurity. This design proposal is feasible. Based on the principle of “replacing old with new", the existing 2 coal-fired boilers of 0.35MW can be removed and the heating of existing boilers belongs to municipal heating system. 5. The project of existing East Jimusi station closes latter, the project plans to add one coal-fired boiler of 1.4MW for this station, the evaluation suggests above stations to use moulded coal burning boilers with the same capacity and the atmospheric pollutants discharge should reach the standard. 6. After the project’s operation, smoke and dust of boiler atmospheric impurity reduce 31.8t/a than existing level and SO2 increases 32.82t/a. 7. During construction, smoke and dust caused by construction machinery, raising dust caused by earthwork and stonework construction and smokes caused by provisional small size’s boilers of each job location will affect atmospheric environment. Every construction organization should strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations and make the effect minimized; these effects will disappear naturally with the construction’s finish. Electromagnetic Environment 1. Conclusions of impact on television reception After the project’s accomplishment, electromagnetic radiations caused by train operation will make all the SNR of channels along the line reduce more. In the 35 antenna-receiving television channels of 8 monitoring points, there are 24 channels meet the SNR requirement of 35dB of normal watching before the project; after the project, the SNR of channels drops a lot, only 16 channels can meet the SNR requirement. Because of the extreme low network accessing rate of wired television along the line, there are a lot of users watching with common antennas, we estimate that the project will cause a very obvious bad impact on resident’s televiewing. 2. Conclusions of impact on traction substation According to the monitoring data of analogy, electric field and magnetic displacement of power frequency at the walls of the traction substation are low, they accord with the limit requirement of power frequency electric-field strength and magnetic displacement recommended in HJ/T24-1998. The high-pressure introducing line corridors of traction substation do not belong to this project, its environmental impact assessment will be implemented by the related power departments. 3. Conclusions of impact on GSMR base station According to above calculations and analysis, making antenna the centre, respective 24 meters along the two sides of the line and respective 12 meters along the two sides of the perpendicular lines, the vertical height is 6 meters downward from the antenna, this rectangular region is the limit region of antenna (control region), that means out of the limit region the radiosity can be less than 8μW/cm2, meeting the requirements of GB8702-88 and HJ/T10.3-1996. 4. On the basis of predicted result, we suggest to obligate wired television network accessing compensating funds or satellite aerial purchase cost for television users insensitive sites. Compensating fund is RMB500 Yuan each family, the total amount is 719 thousand Yuan. Solid Waste After the completion of the project, it will cause related stations increasing certain amount of solid waste, but by rubbish recycling timely, concentrating disposal, strengthening the management of waste discharge car and some other measures, and with the strict implement of above system, putting the solid waste into municipal garbage disposal system or making comprehensive utilization will not have an affect on surrounding environment. Public Participation 1. Public Participation activity provided a mass of public information about the project for the evaluation organization. It had positive impact on the coordination between project construction and environmental protection. Meanwhile, through the public participation activity, it deepened understand and support for the project of the public in the project area and laid a solid foundation for smooth implementation of the project. 2. Most of the masses along the railway line who think the project will in favor of the local economic development are support the project. Almost all of the investigators feel the importance of the environment; Noise and vibration is still the main environmental problems; Most of the masses cooperated actively for the land acquisition and remove problems and hoped to get reasonable economic compensation 3. The public want the construction organization to pay attention to environmental protection work ideologically, implement the environmental protection management measures from the action, strive to minimize the environmental impact by the railway project in the construction and operation period, fully exert economic benefit and social benefit of the project based on protecting public interests. 4. For the opposing phenomenon of the project construction is too concentrated in BinJiang New town and Jiada community, project construction organization communicated with the residents who took issue in the form of seminars. With more understanding of the construction and operation of the Harbin-Jiamusi railway project, the resident representative from BinJiang New town and Jiada community approved the relevant protective measures brought up by the project. Residents’ concern for Harbin-Jiamusi railway project was eliminated. They all understand and support the construction and operation of Harbin-Jiamusi railway project. Social Economic Environment 1. Harbin-Jiamusi railway construction will have a significant and positive impact on society, the implement of this project can promote economic development, increase employment opportunities, and promote tourism development. It will have positive impact on promoting the formation of Harbin megalopolis and promoting regional economic development. 2. After the completion of the project, it will form the personal rapid transit network, the HarbinDalian passenger line in Heilongjiang region, connect all passenger line networks. It will make personal rapid transit network went deep to various regions of Heilongjiang, expand the coverage radius of the personal rapid transit network.It not only can give full play to the benefit of the passenger line, but also meet the requirement of personal rapid transit between the cities along the passenger line. The implement of this project will greatly compress the space-time distance between Northeast and Harbin and even inside Shanhaiguan Pass. It contributes to promoting the improvement of Harbin Metropolitan. It has great importance for accelerating the process of urbanization along the line. It has great importance for promoting win-win cooperation in Northeast and accelerating regional economic integration. 3. Although the implement of this project occupies the land of land acquisition residents who are made to change their life and their way of operating income or migrate passively. But with implement of kinds of Compensation and proper placement by railway and local authorities, the income and housing conditions of the residents will not less than pre-migration. It will also play a role in promoting economic development of some region. Environmental Economic Cost-Benefit Analysis Harbin-Jiamusi railway construction will occupy a certain amount of land, increase soil erosion and cause loss and adverse impact on the environment, meanwhile, also require a certain investment in the environmental protection. But this project will bring about enormous social and environmental benefits, improve the transportation along the route, promote the development and utilization of resources along the route. It has significant social benefits. After necessary comprehensive treatment for the adverse environmental effects, the adverse effects of the railway project will be greatly eased, meanwhile, there will be a certain environmental compensation efficiency by resuming the project. Environmental protection project investment is 2.1% of the total investment, which is correspond to the investment in environmental protection of normal railway project, it can guarantee the environmental project practice and the operation of environmental protection facilities in the Construction project. 17.4 Summary The new construction of railway project from Harbin to Jiamusi will impact on the environment, sound, vibration environment, water and atmospheric environment in a certain area along the both side of the railway line. However project design put forward effective ecological protection and restoration measures, soil erosion control measures and pollution control measures combined with the local characteristics, evaluated and carried out supplement and improvement for the measures. After seriously and roundly implemented the various environmental protection measures in the environment assessment report in the project construction and operations, construction impacts on the environment and pollution could be effectively controlled or slowed down. Evaluation: The project is good for improving the traffic conditions along, and promoting the regional economic development, the measures in the design and environmental impact statement is feasible for the project.
