I. Project Construction Sewage Impact on the Environment

The rivers the project passed by belong to Honghuajing waters. The ground surface rivers

along the alignment are Ashen River, Feiketu River, Mayi River, Bingzhou River, Peony

River. The project designed to pass the rivers by over-bridges. The survey shown that no

water environment sensitive point within the over-bridge evaluation range.

The over-bridge foundation are all hole-bored. 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�200people 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

9.5.2 Related Location Relation between the Project and Water Source Protection Area

The proposed Jiaha passenger speciallized railway project at chainage CK250+790-

CK252+715 passed the 11# water-taking well, 1925m of Class II protection zone with the

subgrade type, 155m to the 11# water-taking well Class I protection zone boundry in the

nearest; at chainage CK251+140-CK252+734, it passed the 10# water-taking well, 1594m of

Class II protection zone with the subgrade type, 501m to the 10# water-taking well Class I

protection zone boundry in the nearest; it arranged the Yilan Railway Station at chainage

CK251+570, 650m and 800m to the 10# and 11# Class I protection zone boundry

respectively.

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�.



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 part-time 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 sub-grade 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.



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 pre-condition 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

10 Assessment of the Impact on Ambient Air

10.1 General

10.1.1 General

Upon the completion of the project, the train within this section will be drawn by the electric

locomotive, so the air pollution would be from the old and new boilers at each station. The

stations involving the air pollution discharge are: the old Jiamusi, moved and rebuilt East

10.3 Analysis of Atmosphere Environment Impact and Protection

Methods during the Construction Period

10.3.1 Analysis of Atmosphere Environment Impact during the Construction Period

Due to the long railway construction period, larger scale and the relative concentraded staff

and machinery, its impact on the environment are mainly in the following 2 aspects:

1. The Life and Manufacture Boilers’ Impact on the Atmosphere Environment during the

Construction

During the construction of the construction, for the settlement of the staff daily manufacture

and life problems, lot of sorts of small boilers were equipped at each construction camp, the

smoke due to the water boiling and cooking would have certain impact on the surrounding.

2. Impact of Various Kinds of Dust on the Environment in the Earthworks and Rockworks

Construction.

The atmosphere pollution during the construction period was mainy vehicle transportation

dust and construction dust; the construction vehicles induced road dust took the 50% of the

total, especially, the cement and earth transportation vehicles caused the road dust was more

obvious, the short time dust thickness along the both sides of the carriage way was as high as

8-10 mg/m3, dusting decreased with the distance increasing. In general, dusting thickness at

200m in the downward wind direction is close to the comparison point in upward wind

direction; the worst construction dusting were mainly from earthworks and rockworks

excavation, loading and unloading, cement and earth mixing.

10.3.2 Protection Methods and Suggestions

1�During the construction, strengthening the staff protection awareness and the

environment managemetn, strictly following the relative environment protection and

construction rules and regulations issued by local governments and divisions along the

project.

2�The insulation shields around the construction land should be placed effectively and

cleanly. The safety warning signs should be arranged for the foundation project unfit for the

shield due to some special reasons; and the insulation methods should be checked at the

dangerous places.

3�The earth and rock works should be stored together and covered or solidified.

4�The person special for the cleaning should be available at site with relative water

sprinkling equipment, doing the sweeping after sprinkling to reduce the dust pollution.

5�The office and living areas at the construction site should be afforested and beautified.

The water boiling and cooking boilers should use the clean energy.

6�The construction rubbish cleaning has to have the closed and particular rubbish road or be

hoisted with some containers, no random littering. The closed rubbish station should be set

for the waste storage during the construction.

7�No burning the closed matter, substance producing poisonous and harmful gas, dust and

stinky odor at the construction site.

8�The vehicle transportation should be strictly closed against earth and rock and sank

dropping at the construction period; adopting the sealed vehicles to reduce the dusting and to

avoid the impact on the crops on the both sides.

9�No overloading of the transportation vehicles; the wheel washing facilities should be set

at the entrances and exits of the urban construction sites.

10�Strengthening the maintenance of the construction machinery and vehicles, having a

regular check on the exhausion discharge of construction machinery and vehicles, no driving

if the pollution discharge overstandard; no use of the oil of worse quality, reinforce the

machine maintenance to reduce the exhausion fume amount.

The atmosphere impact on the environment was temporary during the construction, reducing

it to the minimum extent by means of the protection methods. The impact disappeared upon

the completion of the construction.

10.4 Summary

1. 5 new 0.7MW the coal burning boilers increased at Bingxi Station, Shengli Station,

Gaoleng Station, Dalian River Station, Hongkeli Station. The Assessment suggested that all

the boilers changed to heehive shaped boiler of the equivalent capacity, the air pollution

discharge would reach the standard in accordance with the Clause 7 of the Ha’erbing

People’s Government No.121�Ha’erbing Raw Coal Burning Pollution Protection

Methods�.

2. 6 new coal burning boilers of 1.4MW added at Bingzhou Station, Fangzheng Station,

Jiamusi Motor Train Parking Yard, East Jiamusi Dispatched Returning Station. The

capacity, the air pollution discharge would reach the standard in accordance with the Clause

7 of the Ha’erbing People’s Government No.121�Ha’erbing Raw Coal Burning Pollution

Protection Methods�.

3. Because of the location of Yilan County within the Grade II protection zone for the

concentrated drinking water supply, Yilan County government expressed the new water

source had been under investigation and design,that water source will be halted before 2013.

In view of the 4 year construction period of the project, it should be stopped for utilization

before the project openning, no pollution discharge impact will happen. Yilan County

People’s Government agreed the project going through the ClassII protection area.

2 new 0.7MW coal burning boilers added at Yilan Station, the Assessment suggested that all

the boilers changed to heehive shaped boiler of the equivalent capacity, the air pollution

discharge would reach the standard in accordance with the Clause 7 of the Ha’erbing

People’s Government No.121�Ha’erbing Raw Coal Burning Pollution Protection

Methods�.

4. Jiamusi Station heating could be connected to the municipal heating system, no

atmosphere pollution discharge. The design was feasible. With the principal of “the old

improved by the new”, 2 old coal burning boilers of 0.35MW would be dismantled, the old

boiler heating would be taken in the municipal heating system.

5. The old East Jiamusi Station will be closed upon the completion of the project. There was

1 coal burning boiler of 1.4MW. The Assessment suggested that all the coal burning boilers

changed to heehive shaped boiler of the equivalent capacity, the air pollution discharge

would reach the standard.

6. After the project opening, the atmosphere pollution dust would be 31.8t/a lower, and SO2

would 32.82t/a higher than before.

7. During the construction, the dust from the construction machiney, earth and rock works

construction, transportation vehicle dust, and the discharged smoke of temporary small

boilers equipped at each camps, all having impact on the atmosphere. All construction units

should strictly follow the relative laws, rules and laws, to reduce the impact to a minimum

extent, and the impact would naturally vanish upon the completion of the construction.

In accordance with the stipulation of �Railway Project Construction Project

Environment Impact Evaluation Technological Standards�TB 10502-93 5.1.1, the

television affected evaluation range is within 50m to the outer rail central line. 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

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

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 W/cm2�. If the total radiation could be no more

than 40 W/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. 8 W/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. TV Receiving Sensitive Point General

The site investigation could reveal the the basic condition of TV receiving sensitive

points along the project. Within the evaluation range, the residents receiving TV with

the ordinary aerials easily affected by the electrified railwail train while those

receiving TV with the wire and satellites did not basically. On the basis of all TV

2. 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 57dBV/m�U

section 67dB V/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.

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

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.

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:

The project substation working frequency were 885�889 MHz upwards and 930�934

In fomular: P—— transmitter power (mW)�

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

Revealed by the table above, 24m away from the aerial, the field strength at any

height was lower than 8 W/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.

To summarize the table above: at present, 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.

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 0.2 T at the substation wall; no more than 0.1 T 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/T24-1998, 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.





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/T24-1998. 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 8 W/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.

2. 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 8 W/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 57dB V/m�U section 67dB V/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.





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/T24-1998. 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 8 W/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

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)

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

4. 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. Beside noise

and vibration, environment impact, water pollution and electromagnetic pollution

during construction period also called attention.

c. Impact of railway construction on local development

Only 25.85% respondents in the survey are satisfied with local current transportation,

and 44.62% respondents are less satisfied. The respondents generally agree the project

will bring favourable impact on local transportation, economy, tourism and individual

income.

d. Public opinions on land take and settlement

As to land take, 37.54% respondents chose to follow government arrangement,

32.62% respondents requested some compensation to improve living quality. For

relocation settlement, 49.23% respondents required nearby settlement, 30.15%

respondents required relocation to other places, and 22.77% respondents requested

money compensation.

e. Public opinions on environment impact during construction period

Among the respondents, there’re 46.46% “great”, 28.62% “general” and 15.69%

“minor” answers. Some of the people interviewed think the construction will make

transportation inconvenient and destroy water facilities, and thus bring unfavorable

impacts to local people’s living and production.

f. Public opinions on protection measures

Most respondents considered acoustic barriers and relocation were effective measures

to lower noise beside greening and installation of double windows. As to vibration,

most people chose relocation and track measures.

g. Other public concerns

In addition, the people hope that local traffic isolation caused by the railway could be

considered, e.g. constructing underpasses or bridges to allow farmer’s vehicles to pass

and relieve negative impact on farmers’ normal production and communication.

(II) Statistics of Survey Results of Binjiang New Town Residential Area in

Harbin City and Jiada Community in Jiamusi City

1. Location relation between the residential areas and the project

3. Main Unfavorable Opinions

(1) Binjiang New Town

The Binjiang New Town respondents generally reflected the following issues:

a. Residential buildings are very close to Binjiang Yard with big locomotive noise and

vibration disturbing local people greatly. Binjiang Yard could possible be removed. If

not, the existing yard should be re-arranged to decrease current noise pollution;

b. Electromagnetic pollution caused by electric railway may be harmful to human

health. If yes, the affected people should be relocated;

c. If this residential area will be relocated?

(2) Jiada Community

The questionnaire respondents in Jiada Community typically reflected the following

issues:

a. Existing railway near Jiada Community has big noise and vibration disturbing

people’s life. Hope this situation could be improved with lower noise and vibration;

b. Jiada Community still has some old shabby houses with no sewage pipes and

toilets, causing accumulated water and low sanitary level;

c. There’re still internal-combustion locomotives running on the existing railway,

severely polluting the air and nearby living environment;

d. The public agree to relocate and hope to get reasonable compensation.

(III) Results from Site Communication and Consultation

Site consultation and communication has been made addressing public concerned environment

issues related to the project. The results are summarized in the following:

1. The residents generally request effective noise and vibration reducing measures and dust

reducing measures to be taken to minimize negative impact on the crops and people’s daily life.

2. For houses necessarily to be removed, the public opinion is that the villages and farmers shall

discuss to determine new house locations and reasonable compensations. Meanwhile, they hope

the compensation distribution process should be more transparent. The compensation rate for

expropriated lands should not be lower than existing living quality of the affected residents.

3. The public showed their worry about locomotive running noise and vibration, and require good

noise and vibration reducing design during the engineering phase.

4. The public require the minimally shortened construction period, orderly modern construction

method, avoidance of night operation and avoidance of long time unfavorable impact to resident’s

life.

(IV) Comments from Related Administrations

In this public survey, the assessors also visited environment, land and relics administrations in the

areas along the railway. Assessors briefed the officials and administrative staff about the project

general concept, situation and environment protection measures, and listened to their instructions

and suggestions to environment protection of the project. They generally considered that

construction of the railway will boost local economic development and upgrade local

transportation. They also pinpointed that the project should adequately consider local people’s

comments and suggestions.

1. Government departments and administrations at all levels in areas along the railway hold

positive opinions on the project, and hope the assessing organization implements strict quality

policy, analyze and demonstrate protective measures in the design, and raise economic,

reasonable, feasible and effective treatment measures.

2. The assessing organization visited environment protection bureaus, forestry bureaus and water

resource bureaus in Harbin City and Jiamusi City. Environment bureaus require the project meet

both national and local standards both in construction period and in operation period, and

minimize the environment impacts.

3. The assessing organization consulted Jiamusi Construction Bureau in the railway

area. For the Yilan water source protection area where the railway passes, the Bureau

requires suitable protective measures are taken during construction period to reduce

water pollution and damage. The assessing organization visited the related cultural

relic bureaus, which require enhanced cultural protection sense to avoid destroying

unexplored relics.

13.5 Dealing with Public Opinions

1. Dealing with General Public Opinions

(1) Land take and Relocation Issues

The assessment requires the railway owner strictly follow national regulations on land

take, and consult related local government departments. In “serve the people”

principle, policy transparency and compensation transparency should be increased.

Land take and relocation work shall adequately respect local people’s opinions and be

in a process of first compensation then construction.

The railway authorities shall closely collaborate with related local departments with

minimized intermediate steps and higher policy transparency in publicizing

compensation rate and implementing relocation and compensation work.

Compensation rate for those directly affected shall not be lower than their existing

living quality.

(2) Noise and Vibration Treatment Measures

In principles “first pollution source treatment, second transmission control, third

affected point protection”, the assessment reckons that railway noise and vibration

reducing measures shall be considered first, and then acoustic barriers and sound-

isolating windows are considered at affected points. Noise and vibration treatment

measures in the whole line include:

� 3.15m-high acoustic barriers to be set up at 46 bridge sections, totally 15,380m

long;

� 3m-high acoustic barriers to be set up at 43 subgrade sections, totally 12,096m

long; 7m-high acoustic barriers to be set up at 1 subgrade section 380m long.

� Sound-isolating windows at 132 places of 107,550m2, subject to actually measured

noise level in trial operation period, and to be installed if out of limit;

� Based on estimated vibration and taken protective measures, 1,194 households will be relocated;

� The whole line noise reducing investment will be RMB 270,187,000.

Along the whole line, in order to reach related standards or meet functional

requirement, noise reducing measures will include sound-isolating windows at 41

sensitive points, relocation combined with application of sound-isolating windows at

8 sensitive points, acoustic barriers plus sound-isolating windows at 47 sensitive

points, relocation combined with acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows at 36

sensitive points, relocation combined with acoustic barriers at 1 sensitive point, and

acoustic barriers at 6 sensitive points.

(3) Environment Impacts during Construction Period

The report has clearly expressed that, the constructor shall establish an environment-

friendly construction responsibility system to reduce noise and dust, and minimize

disturbance to residents’ life, study and work.

Construction site shall be located as far as possible from sensitive points like

residential areas. Within construction boundary, construction machines shall be

arranged reasonably, with big-noise machines located on the side farer from sensitive

points.

Construction site shall be reasonably arranged, and noise shall be measured or

estimated accordingly, especially on the side of sensitive points. If noise is out of

limit, effective means like anti-dumping pads and coverings may be used.

Operation time shall be reasonably arranged, with big-noise operations avoided in day

time.

Construction roads and vehicle running time shall be reasonably planned, avoiding

passing through villages to minimize noise pollution to residents.

The constructor shall establish a safety and environment-friendly construction

responsibility system to educate construction workers and standardize constriction

operations.

(4) Impact of Traffic Isolation

The project will include 294 newly built culverts. After deducting length of bridges

and tunnels, the new railway has 1.96 culverts per kilometer at an average. In

addition, the whole line will have 62 bridges. These measures will facilitate farmer’s

vehicles and relieve farmers’ normal production and communication.

2. Dealing with Opinions from Administrative Departments and Experts

Addressing requirements raised by related environment administrations, the assessing

organization implemented strict quality policy and referred to local urban

development plans in making the assessment. They strictly implemented national and

local environment standards and requirements, analyzed and demonstrated protective

measures in the design, and raised economically reasonable and practicable

supplementary measures and suggestions.

3. 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

� Holding 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.

� Dealing 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.

(2) Jiada Community

1) Railway Route Selection

The existing railway close to Jiada Community has been operating for many years

with big noise and vibration complained by local residents. The new Harbin-Jiamusi

Railway Project will utilize the existing railway to lead to Jiamusi Station, with less

impact to urban areas. Meanwhile, Jiamusi City Planning Bureau, with its file [2010]

No.12 Application for Approval of Preliminary Location Selection of Harbin-Jiamusi

2) Dealing with Public Opinions

� Holding meetings

The high number of negative opinions from Jiada Community on the Harbin-Jiamusi

Railway Project has called great attention of the Railway Preparatory Team, the

designing institute and the assessing institute, who then decided to hold meetings to

further communicate with the public. On August 19, 2010, the Railway Preparatory

Team notified the public holding negative opinions of the time, place and agenda of

the meeting.

On August 27, 2010, the Railway Preparatory Team held a meeting with public

participants from Jiada Community on the new Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project. The

participants included 8 representatives from Jiamusi City Planning Bureau, Jiamusi

City Environment Bureau, Jiamusi City Development & Reform Committee, Harbin-

Jiamusi Railway Company Preparatory Team, and the designing and assessing

organization Railway No.3 Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation, as well as

In the meeting, the Preparatory Team introduced related information about the

Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project, explained main environment issues and measures

relating to the project to resident representatives from Jiada Community and the

neighborhood, and exchanged detailed ideas with the resident representatives.

� Dealing with Public Opinions

The meeting participants from organizations addressed each of the public concerned

issues:

a. The public concerned environment question was clearly answered by Jiamusi City

Planning Bureau. The railway administration is working with the Planning Bureau for

environment upgrading. The urban environment along the railway will be surely

improved. Besides, there’ll be a drainage system on sides of the railway, eliminating

the public concerned problem of railway sewage flowing into residential areas.

b. Addressing the noise pollution, Jiamusi City Environment Bureau clearly expressed

that acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows would be set up at Jiada

Community and Jialian Community crossed by the railway. Then, the noise and

vibration pollution will definitely be improved.

c. The relocation compensation issue concerned by the public was clearly explained in

the meeting. The residents involved will be compensated according to related

standards.

With the proposed acoustic barriers and sound-isolating windows, noise level in this

area during normal operation of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway would be greatly reduced,

which is convincible and supported by the residents. With further understanding of

the construction and operation type of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project, the residents

released their worries, and understand and support the construction and operation of

Harbin-Jiamusi Railway Project.

13.6 Opinions from Second Round Public Participation

After completion of the whole text of the report, the assessing institute in

collaboration with the railway owner conducted the second public survey among key

sensitive areas and related governmental departments, soliciting public opinions on

environment impact relieving measures proposed in EIA report of Harbin-Jiamusi

Railway Project, including ecological protection measures, noise & vibration reducing

measures, EMC emission reducing measures, air quality improving measures and

water environment protective measures, and inquiring public ideas for environment

relieving measures.

The second survey mainly consisted of interviews and meetings. Meetings held are

crops like soybean, rice, maize, wheat, etc. In 2008, its total grain yield was 722.3×104 tons, and realized

the total output value RMB 11.59 billions yuan for agriculture, forestry, herd and fishery.

14.2.4 Status and development of communications and transportation along the line

The transportation is fast and convenient along the Ha-Jia Passenger Line where a three-

dimensional traffic network, including waterway, land transportation and airway, and an

international river and sea combined transportation routes has been formed.

1. Railway

The existing railways concerned with the Ha-jia Railway Line in the Ha-jia CorridorBin-Bei Railway,

Sui-Jia Railway, Tu-Jia Railway, Jia-Fu Railway, Etc. In 2007, 24 pairs of passenger trains were opened in

section from Harbin to Sui Hua in this corridor, and 16 pairs opened in section from Sui Hua to Nan Cha,

and 15 pairs opened in section from Nan Cha to Jiamusi. This line, together with Ha-Da Passenger Line

and Ha-Qi Inter-City Line and Ha-Mu Passenger Line, will form a rapid passenger transport net in

Northeast China, which will improve the passenger and goods transportation capability of “Three

Longitudinal Four Transversal” railway network in Northeast China.

2. Highways

The major transportation routes in Ha-Jia Corridor include Ha-Jia Express Highway, Ha-Yi

Express Highway�Harbin to Sui Hua�, national highway G221, G222,etc.

3. 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 socio-

economic 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 Ha-

Da 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 non-

ferrous 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, four-

lane express highway is 2.53 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 Inter-

city 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

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.

(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 land1. 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 self-

employment 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 estimateAt the time of preparation of the

feasibility study, the developer commissions the company with Grade A environmental impact assessment

qualification to prepare Environmental Impact Reportas 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 siteGB 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.

15.1.3 Environmental management during transport operation period

The primary mission of environmental management in transport operation period is to ensure normal running of

the environment protection facilities meanwhile obtaining trustworthy operating parameters through daily

environmental monitoring to provide scientific basis for decision-making with regard to transport operation

management and environmental management.

1 Management organization

This line transport operation is managed by two-level bodies, i.e., grass-roots stations and Ha-Jia Railway Line

Passenger Transport Line Company (preparing team)’s environment protection management body.

The grass-roots stations and sections along the line are in charge of operating and maintenance of their affiliated

environment protection facilities and coordinate with environmental monitoring authority to carry out routine

environmental monitoring and record and report in time the pollution source discharging and running status of

environmental protection equipment.

The environmental protection management body of Ha-Jia Railway Line Company(preparing team) is in charge of

environmental job instruction and supervision and environmental protection trends, and assist the planning

department to review and arrange expansion investment plan for environment protection facilities, and enforce the

renovation and reformation plan for environmental protection facility in the scope of its responsibility, and collect

and study the job information from stations and sections, and coordinate with the local environment protection

department along the line, and coordinate with grass-roots station and sections to solve the unexpected pollution

events, etc.

Besides, the municipal and county environmental protection administrations along the line and their authorized

monitoring organizations will directly supervise and control the discharging from railway pollution sources in the

region, and gradually execute the control up to total amounts according to environmental capacity, and impose

punishment or sanctions against discharging and pollution accidents exceeding the limits.

2 Training

The professional competence of the environmental managerial personnel and operator is vital to normal running

of environment protection facilities. All environmental protection staff should be proficient in business and

familiar with the equipment operating and maintenance key points to ensure normal running of all the facilities.

Besides, the environmental protection management departments at all levels should still establish and complete

the system of job responsibilities so that they undertake the corresponding responsibilities while having the power.

15.3 Supervising plan during construction period

15.3.1 Objectives of environmental supervision during construction period

The environmental supervision is an important measures for implementing the state environmental

protection policy -- "Environmental protection measures to be taken at the same time with project

design, construction and 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 spot-check.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.

16 Environmental Protection Measures and

Investment estimate

16.1 Environmental Protection Measures

16.1.1 Ecological Protection/Soil and Water Conservation Measures

A. 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 air-born 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. 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 air-born dust pollution.

F. Bridge Protection Measures

1. Foundation of the bridge across a river shall be constructed during drought

period to avoid the effects of mud and mechanical oil leakage on water quality

due to the rain. Meanwhile, Construction Company shall optimize the

construction plan and use the construction technology and scientific management

as advanced as possible. Under the premise of ensuring quality of construction to

improve the construction schedule to shorten the underwater operating time, and

strengthen the management of construction equipment and maintenance, so to

prevent leakage of oil and the transportation of pollutants, building materials, and

reduce the possibility of water pollution.

2. During construction of main bridge, it is strictly prohibited to discharge slag of

caisson pile, construction waste, sanitary waste and household garbage to the

water. Temporary toilet and dustbin shall be placed on the platform, cleaned by

appointed man and delivered onshore periodically.

3. Construction sites and stockyards for bridges across a river shall leave the

bank a certain distance to prevent living and production process polluting the

water. The protection distance shall normally be more than 20-30m to ensure that

there is no sanitary waste from construction workers and oily production waste

from maintenance of construction machine into the water.

4. Engineering concrete mixing station should be located 300m away from

residential area. Cement must be stored in a place with waterproof and rainproof.

Mixtures and other materials must be stored in a stockyard and kept clean.

Sedimentation tank shall be built for production waste. Water used for rinsing

sandstone shall be reused. Waste water discharge shall reach the discharging

standard. Falling materials shall be avoided to protect water quality when

delivering the concrete mixtures to piers. The concrete mixing station must have

dust-removal equipment to avoid air and water pollution.

5. Construction sites producing oil waste water shall build small separation tank

and collection tank. The oil wastewater shall not be discharged before separation

handling.

6. Construction machine maintenance sites shall have hardened road and drying

tank to prevent wastewater of mechanical maintenance and rinse polluting the

water and soil. Construction machine maintenance shall be strengthened and

strictly managed to avoid oil leaking and dripping.

7. Cover shall be provided when special materials such as asphalt and cement are

stored in the stockyard to prevent rainfall from material loss and environmental

pollution.

8. Temporary Protection Measures for Bridge Construction

To effectively prevent all types of soil and water loss during bridge construction,

this design newly adds temporary spoiled soil blocking measures, mud treatment

measures and management measures:

(1) A temporary soil mounding field shall be set within the range of bridge

land compensation. The temporary spoiled soil shall be centralized piled.

Temporary blocking measure uses straw bags filled with soil forming a

trapezoidal cross-section with top width of 0.5m, height of 1.0m, and bottom

width of 1.1m.

(2) Slurry produced by bored pile foundation construction needs

sedimentation tank to reduce water and soil loss during construction.

G. Protection Measures for Roadbed Project

There are total 150.142km, 487 individually designed subgrade work sites in this

design, accounting for 45.34% of total length of the new railway line. Work site

type includes chasm slope protection and deep chasm, cohesive soil subgrade,

and soft soil embankment.

Main type and length: 101 embankment slope protection covering 18.168km, 20

covering 15.537km, 168 chasm slope protection and deep chasm covering

64.973km, 9 expansive rock chasm covering 3.964km, 3 bedding chasm covering

1.026km and 2 underwater chasm covering 0.854km.

H. Protection Measures for Earth-fetching Area.

1. Adhering to the principle of centralized fetching and from the nearest area,

waste soils from existing earth-fetching area and other companies have the

priority.

2. Selected earth-fetching location shall be cooperated by local government,

water and soil reserve departments. Under the unified planning of the water and

soil reserve department, the location shall be approved and determined based on

local irrigation works, farmland construction planning and environmental

construction planning.

3. Location of earth-fetching area shall avoid occupying cultivated lands and

good fields. It is better to select waste slopes and wasteland where have sparse

vegetation to reduce destroying the vegetation.

4. Earth-fetching areas on slopes and hills shall be treated by restoring slopes,

evening bottoms in excavation areas after fetching. Grass growing and trees

planting shall be used.

5. For the earth-fetching area planned for greening or second ploughing, ripe soil

on the surface shall be pushed aside before fetching and pushed back and evened

after fetching. Based on landform conditions of temporary storage place, guard

bar protection shall be reasonably set.

I. Protection Measures for Spoiled Soil Ground

1. Under the principle of ‘guarding before dumping’, a slag wall shall be built

first at the designed location before dumping soils (slags). Spoiled soils and slags

shall be stacked in layers and tamped firmly. The slag slope shall be protected by

masonry frame.

2. Based on landform conditions, the spoiled slag area shall be provided with a

slag wall at the foot of the slope as required. Measures and forms of the slag wall

geology the line passing by, vegetation, engineering or combined protection

measures shall be respectively used to strengthen its anti-erosion capability and

prevent soil and water loss while ensuring its stability.

2. Entire slope protected by slurry built stone shall be used for the slope of bridge

head in water across the river. Few spoiled soil produced by pier foundation

excavation during construction shall be used for filling foundation of the bridge

head in time. Those can’t be used for filling the foundation shall be guarded by

temporary straw bags. A mass of slurry and boring mud will produce during

boring construction for bridge foundation using caisson piles. Slurry pond and

sedimentation tank shall be built before boring construction and the slurry shall

be reused after sedimentation.

3. Gutter shall be set outside the embankment ramp way to collect rain water

gathering on the slope to avoid washing out the environment around.

4. Earthwork construction shall try to ship the earthwork immediately after

digging and leave no loose soil surface. Protection, second ploughing and

greening measures for earth-fetching and spoiled ground shall be taken after

activities, farming behaviors of people on sides, vehicle traffic and water flow.

2. Bridges and tunnels will be set corresponding to existing railway and express

way sections during this design and corresponding to existing bridges and piers

one-to-one as far as possible. It has been thoroughly considered the possible

separation caused by the newly built line. The project reserves enough space for

future development of roads and country roads.

3. Designed flow of newly built bridges and tunnels is 1/100 frequency (super

large yilan-mudanjiang bridge is checked according to 1/300 flooding standard).

Gutter shall be built parallel to the railway on both sides at overflowing road

section where no run-off channel is formed and led to a railway bridge nearby

based on the landform, so to form a overflowing channel on both sides to ensure

mutual flowing between overflowing and run-off water. Principles of building

gutters: based on local conditions, affordable, try to choose sections having good

landform and geology to save investments on reinforcement. Exit of the gutter

shall be led to a natural river or channel, and not directly flow into the farmland

to damage agricultural production. The above measures are taken to ensure

smooth water flow.

L. Measures to Protect Cultural Relics

Based on visiting local cultural relics administration department, and according to

preliminary investigation and information collected, currently there is no valuable

cultural relics found in this evaluation. It is recommended that Construction

producing loud noise away from the residential area; reasonably schedule the

construction, and operation producing loud noise shall be arranged during day

time; it shall report to the relative administrative department if production

technology requires continuous operation; strengthen environmental noise

monitoring during construction period.

2. According to the results of environmental noise prediction, recent day and

night equivalent noise level at the residential area that 30m to the central line of

railway tracks is 57.7�69.4dBA, and 54.3�69.5dBA. Recent day and night

equivalent noise level at measured points in Class 4 District is 55.0�68.2dBA

and 52.5�68.4dBA. Recent day and night equivalent noise level at measured

points in Class 1 District is 54.6�61.2dBA and 50.8�58.9dBA. Recent day and

night equivalent noise level at measured points in Class 2 District is

53.7�66.1dBA and 49.1�60.6dBA. Recent day and night equivalent noise level

at measured points in Class 3 District is 53.5�65.5dBA and 49.3�62.7dBA.

Prediction of special sensitive point of 21 schools along the line indicates that the

noise level during the day is 54.8�67.5dBA, and 50.4�62.1dBA at night.

3. According to the results of environmental noise prediction, size of the

sensitive points and landform conditions around, 46 noise-deafening walls,

15380m long with a height of 3.15m are adopted at bridge sections. 43 noise-

deafening walls, 12096m long with a height of 3m are adopted at roadbeds. One

noise-deafening wall, 380m long with a height of 7m is adopted at bridge

sections. 132 acoustic ventilation windows covering 107550m2 are adopted.

Noise level at the sensitive points will be measured in the field during test run

after the construction work is finished, the measures will be adopted if the

measurements exceed the standard.

1194 sensitive points shall be moved based on vibration prediction and measures

having been taken.

Noise environmental investment of the whole line is 270,187,000 Yuan.

4. Recommendation on Environmental Noise Control

It is forbidden to build noise sensitive buildings within the range of 30m on both

sides of the railway line and not suitable beyond 30m within the standard. School,

hospital, residential area and etc. noise sensitive buildings shall not be

constructed without a block in the front.

It is recommended that planning department reasonably plan land functions on

both sides of the railway, according to the noise prediction results in this report,

strengthen architectural layout and noise-deafening design. The first row of

buildings adjacent to the railway is proper for non-noise sensitive buildings for

industrial use, storage and logistics to reduce the effects of railway noise on

acoustic environment quality inside the building. Base on the concept of mutual

development and mutual promotion between city and railway, the city planning

department shall strictly control usage of the land along the line and reasonably

control noise-sensitive buildings according to the acoustic environment protection

distance recommended in this report.

It is recommended that railway operation department strengthen management and

maintenance, whole line rail grinding and wheel turning periodically to make the

line running under a better condition.

16.1.3 Vibration Protection Measures and Recommendation

1. Evaluation of the amount of Z vibration level for the 50 measuring points

within 30m to the railway track is 70.1-81.9dB during the day and 70.1-82.7dB at

night. Six points exceed 80dB during the day and the excess value is 1.0-1.9dB.

11 points exceed 80dB and the excess value is 0.8-2.7dB. Evaluation of the

amount of Z vibration level for the 85 measuring points beyond 30m and further

to the railway track is 52.9-77.2dB during the day and 53.5-77.9dB at night. All

predicted points meet the requirements of GB10070-88 ‘80dB on both sides of

main railway’. Compared to vibration prediction of 2020, the measurements of

2030 will change a little, normally increasing 0.2-0.4dB since vehicle type and

train speed will not change while only traffic flow increase.

2. According to this evaluation and noise protection measures, 438 sensitive

points along the line shall be moved. Investment costs are included in noise

control fee to weaken the effects of railway vibration on residents.

3. It is recommended that local planning, construction and environmental

protection department along the railway line fully consider the actual situation of

high vibration level when planning and managing the lands on both sides of the

line and build a certain range as buffer area. It is forbidden to build residential

area, school, and hospital and etc. vibration sensitive buildings within 30m of

both sides of the line.

4. Some construction machine will cause vibration on surroundings during

construction, so working sequence must be scheduled reasonably and take some

protection measures. Increase environmental protection consciousness of the

construction workers to efficiently reduce the impact of environmental vibration

during construction which will be eliminated after construction is finished.

16.1.4 Electromagnetic Radiation Protection Measures and Recommendation

1. Protection Measures for the Affected TV Reception

After the project is finished, effect of electromagnetic radiation caused by train on

TV reception of residents along the line can be eliminated by connecting cable

TV. Meanwhile reflection and obstruction effects of train can be thoroughly

eliminated. It is recommended to reserve cable TV or satellite TV compensation

fees for those significantly affected TV users at the sensitive points. It needs

719,000 Yuan as a reserve based on 500 Yuan for every family. It shall be tested

after railway construction is finished and started running, and compensation will

be processed if it does have effect.

2. Protection Measures for the Affected Traction Substation

There will be 8 new 220KV traction substation built for this project. Based on

analogy analysis, power-frequency electric field and magnetic field the traction

substation produced at its walls is far below the nation recommended standard.

However, it is recommended that the substation shall be away from residential

area and sensitive targets as far as possible when make final decision on selection

of the location to further reduce electromagnetic impact and relieve residents’

concern.

3. Protection Recommendation for the Affected GSMR Station

This project uses GSMR digital wireless communication system. Location of the

station hasn’t been decided yet. According to the former calculation and analysis,

a rectangular area that 24m long along the line on both sides with the antenna as

center, 12m long each side on the direction perpendicular to the line with a height

of downwards 6m to where the antenna is set, can be defined as excessive area of

the antenna (controlled area), namely, radiated power density outside the area

meet the requirements of less than 8 W/cm2, and comply with GB8702-88 and

HJ/T10.3-1996. It is recommended to avoid the excessive area into residential

area when select location of base station and try to be away from sensitive area as

far as possible.

16.1.5 Protection Measures for Water Pollution and Recommendation

exceeds the standard of GB13271-2001 Boiler Air Pollutant Emission Standards,

District II Time Section II. it is recommended to use formed-coal boiler with

equal capacity instead of the above mentioned boilers which reach the discharge

standards of air pollution.

Centralized potable water source in Yilan County will be stopped and discarded

when it comes to the operating period, so there will be no sewage discharge

effects.

5. Heating system of Jiamusi Station can use municipal heating system and no air

pollutant emitted. Design plan is feasible. Based on the principle of ‘bring a new

one to replace the old one’, the two existing0.35MW coal-fired boilers will be

taken down later and the existing heating connected into the municipal heating

system.

6. The existing East Jiamusi Station is shut down after the project, which is re-

designed in a new location. One 1.4MW coal-fired boiler is newly built. it is

recommended to use formed-coal boiler with equal capacity instead of the above

16.1.7 Solid Waste Disposal Measures and Recommendation

Domestic garbage from waiting passengers of every station is 198.72t/a in the near

future, and 248.27t/a in the far future after the construction. Garbage produced during

removing is 32.52×104m3.

Office waste and domestic garbage from the newly built station are 198.41t/a.

If the garbage produced during removing can’t be treated in time, the domestic

garbage from the station will destroy and pollute the environment along the railway

and where the station located, therefore, it is recommended to take the following

measures:

1. Domestic garbage from the construction base camp shall be collected by

appointed men and delivered to the sanitation department for centralized disposal.

Thoroughly clean up construction waste during removing and after camp

evacuation, and deliver them to appointed spoiled ground or other places for

disposal.

2. Strengthen management and popularization. According to the requirements of

17 Assessment Conclusions

17.1 Rationalization of Route Selection

In accordance with the Long and Mid-term Plan of China’s Railway Network Plan (2008

Revision), Harbin-Jiamusi Railway will be constructed for improving the railway network in

eastern and central regions, and this project meets relevant transport planning.

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 57.765.1dBA and 54.3 66.2dBA respectively, increasing -4.42.5dBA

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.

Residential Quarters

The recent day and night noise equivalent sound levels at the measured points in Class � residential

quarter are respectively 5659.5dBA and 52.5 56.2dBA, respectively increasing -4.3-2.5dBA and

-6.3 -3.2dBA over the status quo, thereby the noise equivalent sound level in the daytime can meet

the daytime noise standard of 70dBA stipulated in GB12525-90 Emission Standards and Measurement

Methods of Railway Noise on the Boundary Alongside Risky Line. 7 measuring points in the nighttime

are 0.2 1.2dBA over the 55dBA standard requirement on Class � residential quarter stipulated in

GB3096-2008.

The recent day and night noise equivalent sound level at the measured points in Class � residential

quarter are respectively 53.757.6dBA and 49.1 54.5dBA, respectively increasing -4.3-2.5dBA

and -6.4 -3.1dBA over the status quo. The daytime noise equivalent sound level can meet the daytime

standard of 60dBA for Class� residential quarter stipulated in GB3096-2008. 33 measuring points

measured in the nighttime exceed 0.34.5BA based on the nighttime standard of 50dBA for Class �

residential quarter stipulated in GB3096-2008.

The recent day and night noise equivalent sound levels at the measured points in the Class �

residential quarter are respectively 53.561.4dBA and 49.3 62.1dBA, respectively increasing -

3 1.6dBA and -4.0 3.6dBA over the status quo, thereby the daytime noise can meet the

daytime standard of 65dBA for the Class � residential quarter, while 3 measuring points

measured in the nighttime are over 0.27.1BA based on the nighttime standards of 55dBA for

Class � residential quarter stipulated in GB3096-2008.

(3)Schools, Hospitals and other Special sensitive sites

The daytime noise equivalent sound level is 54.859.4 dBA, increasing -4.42.7dBA than the status

quo; while which in the nighttime is 50.456.1dBA, increasing-7.2 -3.2dBA over the status quo,

thereby the daytime noise can meet the appropriate standards, but 8 night measuring points are 1.4 ~

3.4dBA over the appropriate standards.

4. Changes of Forward Noise Predictive Value

In the long term, the type of operation train of this project has not been changed, and the departure

pattern is unchanged, only the number of trains will be on the increase, thereby the noise predictive

value has increased properly. The daytime noise equivalent sound level will increase 0.1 ~ 4.7dBA,

while the nighttime noise equivalent sound level increased 0.1 ~ 1.8dBA.

5. 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 73.1dB84.1dB in the daytime, and

74.3 dB 84.3dB in the nighttime. 12 measuring points exceed 80dB in the daytime, up 0.44.4

dB. The value in the scope in 30m and out of 30m is 57.078.6dB 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 49.057.0dB 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 �standard 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 second-

class 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 state� protected 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 newly-

added 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

Class� 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 73.1dB84.1dB 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 0.44.4 dB. The

value in the scope within 30m and out of 30m is 57.078.6dB in the daytime, and 57.378.9dB

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 49.057.0dB in the daytime and 43.152.0dB 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 52.9-

77.2dB 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 (GB8978-

1996) 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 8 W/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 Harbin-

Dalian 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.
