1Project introduction

1.1Brief Introduction

According to latest investigation data, sewage quantity increased faster in Bailonggang area, Shanghai in recent years. The inflow dischargeof Bailonggang Sewage Treatment Plant would be 1900 thousand m3/d until 2008. The situation above proves that the collecting sewage quantity of Bailonggang has exceeded the designed trunk scale which is 1721 thousand m3/d. (Feasibility Study Report, 2008).

To develop economy, environmental protection should be top-priority. With a new round development and opening of Shanghai, and rapid development of urban construction, the increasing sewage quantity of Pudong New Developed District, Minhang, Nanhui and other area is in a dire need of an outlet, so it has no time to delay to improve the discharge ability of sewage trunk line in Bailonggang area. In order to provide necessary environment capacity and self-contained infrastructure for local economy development, then improve the regional water environment quality, and accelerate the harmony development of economy and environment, Southern Transportation Trunk Project (STTP) has been the urgent affair of optimizing and improving sewage treatment system in Bailonggang area.

The service region of STTP belongs to Bailonggang area, of which, the north is in the southern side of Zuyuan, the west is in the Minhang boundary, the south is in the Minhang boundary and Nanhui airport express way, the east is in the Changjiang River. The area of service region is 1255km2, and the population is 7120 thousands. STTP includes Western Section Project of Southern Trunk and Southern Trunk Transportation Perfecting Project (STTPP). Presently the western section project has been completed and connected with middle trunk to the Bailonggang Sewage Treatment Plant. Because the actual sewage quantity has disparity with the planning, the eastern section project of southern trunk is suspended.STTPP in Bailonggang area) includes eastern section project and Puxi River-Crossing Pipe and the connection pipe. The purpose of STTPP is to perfect the southern transportation trunk. The project will start from June, 2009, and end in 2012.

STTPP could be divided into 2 parts: Puxi Section Project, including Puxi River-Crossing Pipe, the connecting pipe, and the pumping station; Pudong Section Project, including East Section of Southern Transportation Trunk and Pudong collecting branches. Shanghai Urban Drainage Corporation, as the project owner, plans to apply World Bank loan to Puxi Section Project, and compile Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). As to Pudong Section project, construction would be done with domestic capital, however, the project scope has not been confirmed, and soResettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is compiled.

1.2Beneficial and Affected Areas of Project

1.2.1Beneficial Areas

Beneficial areas of Puxi river-crossing pipe, connecting pipe, and river-crossing pump station include:

Shanghai

Shanghai is making effort to be a national sanitary city, the main standard of which is a good environment protection, including solid waste treatment, sewage treatment, air pollution control and noise control. STTP will create favorable conditions to improve the rate of piped sewage after its construction, so that it could reduce quantityof sewage discharged into InlandRiver;achieve the goal of improving InlandRiver’s water quality. STTP has a significant meaning for upgrading the whole sanitary environment of Shanghai, and provides good conditions for creating national sanitary city.

Puxi Central Urban Area

Because the discharged sewage from the sixth anabranch and Wumin has exceeded the designed scale, sewage from Puxi has no way to cross HuangpujiangRiver, and only could be discharged into Huangpujiang which is polluted gravely. STTPP would solve the sewage discharged into Huangpujiang in the rain season in this area completely, and have a very important meaning for improving the water quality in Huangpujiang.

1.2.2Affected Areas

The impacts of land acquisition and house demolition in Puxi Section Project involve 3 districts of Shanghai: Minhang, Xuhui and Pudong New Area.
