1.4 Project introduction

Huai River Basin Marine Pollution Reduction Project in Dongying City Granted by GEF is along Guanli river in Dongying District and Kenli County of Dongying city. DongyingCity project onGuangliRiver Basinwill control pollution, reduce land-based nutrients and pollutants emissions to reduce the negative impact on the BoSea. Then create a model project with a sense of innovation and high yield.

The project includes construction of the wetland system, agricultural and rural non-point source pollution control, capacity building and policy development, project management and implementation support. The details are listed in table 1-1.

Table 1-1 Project contents

The composition of project / Sub-project / Contents
The main project / Wetland system beside Dongba road / The project includes eco-retention pond, the surface flow constructed wetland, sluice and pumping station, and supporting plant facilities. Treatment scale is Q1 = 7.0 × 104m3/d (March -November), Q2 = 2.5 × 104m3/d (December - February next year). The treated effluent meets classⅤfor reuse of Surface Water Environmental Quality Standard (GB3838-2002).
Agricultural and rural non-point source pollution control / 1.Agricultural pollution treatment in 4 pilot villages
2. Agricultural tail water treatment in 4 pilot villages
3.Rural living waste water treatment in 8 pilot villages
4. Rural solid waste treatment of 2 pilot village
Broadcasting and education project / Capacity building and policy development / Through the training to enhance the capacities of the staffs for project implementation and with the relative developed policies to solve the issues occurred during the project implementation process, and then achieve the proposed objectives of the project. And construct a training center.
Project management / Through the project management to increase the capacity of the project management staffs when developing the management policies and project promotion models

The completion of the projectcan effectively reduce point source and non-point source pollutantsof GuangliRiver and water resources are effectively protected.The pollutants that flow into Bo Sea will be reduced. After its completion, the amount of CODCrand NH3-N can be reduced by 430t/a and 129t/a respectively. This project will enhance pollution treatment ofGuangliRiver and promote water pollution control of Yellow River Water Pollution Treatment Project. After the investment is implemented, the quality of the environment will be improved and the pollution to the surrounding environment is mitigated.

2 The main environmental impact and mitigation measures

According to the EIA reportwe can see that the main project construction contentsare artificial wetlands and water gate optimization project, rural and agricultural pollution control project. The construction and operation process will impact the environment. Sothefocus is the environmental impacts and mitigation measures on these two parts.

2.1 Environmental analysis and mitigation measures of wetland

The environmental analysis and mitigation measures of wetland and water gate optimization are listed in table 2-1.

Table 2-1 Environmental impact analysis and mitigation measures of wetland

Serial number / Impact categories / Analysis of the main environmental impacts / Mainmitigationmeasures
One / Construction period
1 / Atmosphericenvironment / Air pollution during the construction period comes mainly from dust and emissions from vehicles and construction machinery. / At transport lines and materials processing site use water spray to control dust,such as the construction site near sensitive targets and windy weather; increased watering to 2-3 times a day;UsingCentralconcretemixingstation; transport vehicles taken closed measures.
2 / Water environment / Construction waste water comes form sewage of construction personnel and washing waste water of construction machinery and mud waste water of pile foundation in construction stage. / The amount of washing waste water from construction machinery is small, the main pollutants are cement grit, sand and the washing water;
sewage is collected andreused.
3 / Acoustic environment / Constructionmachineryandtransportvehiclenoise / Constructionactivitiesmustbe consultedwith the surroundingresidents,developdetailedplans,and reducing the environmentalimpact of construction;
prohibited in the vicinity of residential area use noisy machinery such as wrench and concrete mixer during 22:00-6:00 and 12:00-2:00;
transport routs must be planned in advance,
prohibit vehicles near the villages and sensitive points to transport at night.
4 / Solid waste / Solid waste and construction waste of construction person / As per 2005,139th “urban construction waste management regulations”, properly dispose of spoil at designated sites;
Domestic waste will be collected by local sanitation department and disposed of at designated sites..
5 / Soil environment / Constructionwill bewithinacertainarea of excavation andbackfill,effectsonsoilenvironmentproblems: destruction of soilstructure, changingsoiltexture; destruction of soilaggregatestructure; soilnutrientloss; the effectofsoilcompaction / Because of the area has no rare soil organisms and excavation area is small, the impactof soil is temporary, so the balance of soil organisms will resume soon.
6 / Covers / Project area covers is mainly slope and pond, no basic farmland / After the completion of construction, re-vegetation timely.
7 / Soil erosion / Excavation will undermine the relative stability surface inevitabe, have a certain area of bare ground, causing a degree of soil erosion. / Soil erosion during the construction will be basically eliminated after the end of construction;
install temporary drainage system preventing soil erosion..
8 / Lossby runoff of soil / The wetland construction may make the soil and rocks split, vegetation damage, soil erodibility strengthened, and even impact the water storage and flood control, making the local water and soil loss. / (1)Vegetation measures: After the completion of the proposed works, the original vegetationshould be resumed as soon as possible. Green on the bare ground and around the wetland, plant shrubs and bushes on the pipeline work, at the same time it can purify air and beautify environment, low shrubs can be planted around the management.
⑵Around the temporary abandoned dreg construct slag wall, drains around the dreg should be linked with the natural drains in the project area, avoid rainwater erosion to the surroundings.
⑶According to the slope stability to take measures, and focus on drainage engineering.
⑷Avoid the rainy season or before the rainy season, reducing soil erosion construction period.
9 / Landscape impact / After the completion of the project, the landscapestructure willsignificantlychange,most of the originallandscapewillno longerexist,the originalreservoir,saline soil,consisting farmlandlandscapewill changes to wetlandlandscape. / Increaselandscapeheterogeneity of the ROI,formingastrongheterogeneitylandscape,themajority of the landscapegivesastrong sense of beauty,conducive to the promotion of environmentalimprovement in theregion,alsogreatlyimproved the localecologicalenvironmentconstruction.
