Chapter 1 General
1.1 Project Background
The Yangqiao Ship Lock is one of the major hydraulic structures which make up the
Fenquan River Hydraulic Engineering Project. The Lock directly concerns water
transportation of mass goods in Linquan County, since the water route finally joins with
the Yangtze River after taking the path of the Fenquan River, the Shaying River, the
Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Great Canal. Linquan County is featured by
fertile land and abundant natural resources, which make it a national commercial grain
production base and one of the important energy industry bases in China. The direct
heartland of the Linquan spans across Linquan County, Fuyang County and Yingshang
County, and its indirect heartland can extend as far as Henan Province, cities along the
Huaihe River, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Insomuch as the direct heartland is
concerned, Linquan is an important coal industry-pillared Chinese city as well as an
important transportation hub in East China. Apart from that, the city is a center of
commerce & trade and a regional hub of processing industries. With diverse
characteristics and advantages, Linquan promises an optimistic future outlook.
As national economy grows and resources development proceeds in the heartland, the
Ship Lock is witnessing increasing throughput handling accompanied especially by the
staggering production capacity of Linquan Chemical Engineering Co, Ltd. and the
constant growth of agricultural & sideline product processing. It is anticipated that the
annual throughput will rise to 4.80 million tons in 2020 and 6.1 million tons in 2030. Seen
from this perspective, the Yangqiao Ship Lock Extension Project (hereinafter referred to
as “the Ship Lock”, “the Project” or “the Work”) is a very important one.
1.2 Project Profile

The Ship Lock is set to be extended against Grade IV ship lock criteria, with a 500t
design tonnage for barges. A 180m-long chamber will be constructed, totaling a specified
volume of 180×12×3.5m (Length*Width*Water Depth at Lock Sill). The Project involves
a capital investment of approximately RMB161 million, including RMB9.958 worth of
environmental protection facilities. The Project plans to involve a construction period of
two years; that is, it is set to be completed and commissioned at the end of 2015. As for
construction plans, the Project will comprise the chamber, upstream & downstream lock
heads, upstream & downstream navigation channels, upstream & downstream approach
channels, berthing structures, highway bridge & link road, sluice gate &

supervision helps lay the groundwork for the environmental protection acceptance
procedure of the Work.
The ESE is an important role in the management and supervision hierarchy. For
this Project, it is very important to ensure the integration of the ESE into the ESE
system; in other words, the environmental supervision responsibility is specifically
defined and integrated into the Project Supervision Engineer Employment Agreement.
Meanwhile, the EEC is introduced into the Project supervision mechanism. The
EEC directly enters into an employment agreement with the Owner independent of
the Contractor and the ESE. The EEC assists the Owner in training, consultancy
services and review of the environmental protection measures taken by the Contractor
on the advice of the ESE. The EEC also assists with the preparation of semiannual
23
environmental monitoring reports during the operation of the Project as requested by
the World Bank.
3.4 Contractor Management
The Contractor is responsible for environmental protection at the construction stage
of the Work. The FIDIC Civil Work Evaluation Standard Form Contract thus provides
in Chapter19.1: “In the entire process of construction, completion and rectification of
other defects, the Contractor shall take every reasonable measure to protection the Site
and surrounding environment so as to prevent the Work from generating pollution,
noise or other consequences that may cause personal or financial damage or hindrance
to the public.”
For this Project, the Contractor will play a key role in the construction work,
especially in regard of environmental management, pollution control & prevention,
etc. Therefore, the following requirements are made of the Contractor.
A powerful contractor shall be selected so that the environmental management
plans can be effectively executed;
The Contractor and the Engineer shall receive training on environmental
protection and management before commencement;
Environmental impact control measures for the construction period shall be
included in the Bidding Document of the Contractor as well as in the Agreement as a
contractual requirement for the Contractor.
The Contractor is required to monitor its own environmental activities and submit
environmental performance reports on a weekly basis, which are to be reviewed and
approved by the APPSCI Project Office and the work supervision team.
24
The Contractor shall provide each subproject with one fulltime environmental
monitor, who is to receive further training programs in order to be fit for their job.
Throughout the construction stage, the Contractor shall communicate and consult
with the areas near the Site and post notices in each and every individual construction
site to provide the public with information on specific types and time schedules of
work. At the same time, contact information about the contact persons shall be
provided to facilitate communication of public complaints and proposals on the Work.

Chapter 4 Environmental Monitoring Plans
Purpose
Environmental monitoring is a must for both the construction stage and the
operation stage. Its purpose is to provide a basis for grasping full and dynamic
information of the Project in a timely way, understanding the local environmental
quality changes brought by the Project, understanding the scope of such changes,
obtaining dynamic information on environmental quality during the operation period
and feeding back information in a timely way to the governing authorities for
environmental management.
Monitoring Agency
Environmental monitoring for the construction and operation period involves
many aspects (e.g. noise emissions, the aquatic environment and ecology) and
requires highly sophisticated monitoring personnel and apparatuses. Therefore, it is
suggested that the Owner entrust the job to accredited professional entities.
Monitoring program
The environmental monitoring covers noise, water quality and ecological environment. The detailed monitoring tiem, frequency and items are listed in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2.
In addition to routine monitoring conducted by professionals in professional agency according to relevant regulations, the contractor and construction supervision unit can also carry out other monitoring.
Noise monitoring near the construction machinery and sensitive point with portable noise meter;
Visual checking of dust caused by temporary detour, piling yard of powder material, disturbed surface soil and transport trucks;
Visual checking of water quality of Fenquan River at upstream and downstream of approach channel site , and water quality of the rivers,and fish ponds into
26
which wastewater from the construction sites and camps is discharged.
Drawing on experiences from environmental management of other WB project, the contractor should be responsible for environmental supervision. Thus, the contractor and construction supervision unit shoud submit environmental monitoring report to the WB project office of Provincial Transport Department. Furthermore, they are required to report to the WB project office immediately when unexpected environmental pollution accident happens. The contractor can apply proper pollution control measures including professional agency to conduct monitoring. All of the monitoring facilities should be included in bidding documents so that bidding can meet the requirements and they can become parts of the contract. Meanwhile, the contractor and the construction supervisor should pay attention to these requirements. Anhui Provincial Transport Department and other environmental management and supervision agencies can aslo select good contractor according to these requirements.
Monitoring staff from the contractor and construction supervision unit should be trained before carrying out environmental monitoring. Transport Department will review monthly environmental rerport and check daily monitoring on site. The requirements about monitoring and reporting will be included in bidding documents and contracts with the contractor and construction supervision unit.
Environmental Monitoring Report
Construction Phase
During the construction phase, the Environmental Management Section should commission local environmental monitoring station to carry out monitoring according to construction periods of the channel improvement project.
During the construction phase, environmental monitoring report should be submitted monthly to the Construction Section and Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.
Operation Phase
The monitoring results should be formally submitted twice a year to the WB project office of Transport Departmen or APPSCIG. The WB project office (APPSCIG) should collate and archive these reports. The envionmental monitoring reports are the basis for the WB and Provincial Environmental Protection Bureau to valuation the achievement of environmental protection, environmental impacts and the need of extra environmental protection measures for unexpcted impacts.
The main contents of the environmental monitoring plan include:
Monitoring time, frequency, position, item, method and quality control program;
27
Monitoring data and statistic analyses;
Introduction of the operation of monitoring facilities;
Abnormal items.
Estimation of Monitoring Cost
The monitoring cost at the construction phase is estimated as: 50,000 RMB * 2 years=100,000 RMB. The monitoring cost at the operation phase is estimated as: 50,000 RMB * 3 years=150,000 RMB. The monitoring results at first three years of the operation phase will be checked with prediction of environmental impacts. The monitoring program after that will be revised according to the results in first three years.
In addition, 50,000RMB will be remained for monitoring of emergency accident.
The cost of other monitoring conducted by the contractor and supervisor is included in contract price.

Chapter 5 Staff Training
Successful implementation of a Project environmental management plan depends
on the knowhow and working experience of environmental management and
environmental management staff. Meanwhile, with constant developments and
progress in science & technology, it is of vital importance to provide staff training and
improve the staff organization structure. Staff training programs may be provided
either at home or abroad. Overseas training shall be provided in countries with mature
experience in terms of roadwork construction and operation/management systems.
Domestic training programs may be provided in the form of lectures given by experts
from universities, environmental research institutes and professional consulting
agencies.
A retrospect of earlier experience indicates that the Contractor and the Project
Supervision Company must be strict with themselves in stepping up environmental
protection efforts. Even if such self-inspection is not the ultimate end, it can help them
develop a consciousness of environmental protection and help the Environmental
Management & Monitoring Authority better perform supervision responsibilities. The
Contractor, the Project Supervision Engineer s and their superiors must undergo
training programs in order to conduct self-inspection.
See Tab. 5-1 for specific details about the staff training plan.
