1Introduction
1.1Project Background
The Environmental Improvement Project in YibinCity, SichuanProvinceis also named as Yibin Binjiang ring road project (YBRRP). It consists of road project, bridge and culvert project, protective project, landscape project and drainage project.
The construction of the proposed project will facilitate the swift connection among the districts and to achieve the ordered and smooth flow of passengers, freights and automobiles.It can activate the urban structure adjustment and improve the urban functions as well.Theproposed project will also play an active role in furnishing the corresponding municipal supporting facilities, strengthening the urban serving function and expanding the urban scale.
Moreover,the proposed project is located at the important characteristic area (called Binjiang) of Yibin. The proposed project on the riverside will provide the residents with a sound entertainment and leisure space and sightseeing along rivers. On the other hand, as a result of the smoother traffic and faster vehicle speed, the total exhaust emissions may be reduced and cause improvement on the ambient air and acoustic environment quality.
1.2Project Component and Its Main Technical Specifications
Theproposed Project is located in YibinCity, SichuanProvince,consisting of road project, bridge and culvert project, protective project, landscape project and drainage project. And it is divided into two parts, namely Line A and Line B. LineA belongs to reconstruction and extension project,laying along the left banks of the MinRiver and the Yangtze River from the MinRiverBridge at Jiuzhou Group, with a total length of 6688.51meters. Line B isa new road, arranged along the right bank of the JinshaRiver from the Cultural Square at the east district of Nan’an to No.4 Water Supply Works, with a total length of 3521.21 meters.The main functions of the project are transportation and relaxation.

1.3Objective of the Environmental Management Plan
The World Bank financed Environment Improvement Project in Yinbin Cityis of high grade design and strict environmental assessment, in order to minimize the social and environmental reverse impact as far as possible, and solve the left environmental problems through the environmentalreduction measures.
As to the inevitable environmental impact of the project, a main objective of the environment assessment is to determine the potential impact of the project, and make a set of measures which is feasible in technology, sustainable in financial affairs and operable during construction and operation phase. The mitigation measure has been determined in the environmental assessment report, and will be put forward reasonablyin the environment management plan, which is suitable for the construction and the operation phase.
The function of EMP is to list the measures during construction and operation phase, the measure for monitoring and organizations, to avoid or control the reverse environmental impact of the project, and to provide the specific activity for the implement of the measures. The EMP will be the important connection between the environmental counter-measures and the environmental mitigation measures determined by EIA.

2.1.4Sensitive Spots of Ecological Environment
According to the results of the spot investigation,in the assessment scope of proposed project the sensitive spots of ecological environment mainly is the spots border with the project such as "The national Natural Reserve of Rare and Peculiar Fish in the Upper of the YangtseRiver. The construction activitieswhich possibly affect to the environment sensitive spots mainly are the guard wall, bridge and culvert excavation, filling construction and so on.
2.1.5Sensitive Spots of Social Environment
The proposed construct pass through the Yibin city, the demolishing quantity along the route is bigger, the demolishing business, institution and inhabitant of this project are the social environment sensitive object；In addition,the business and institution which are affected by construction and operation along the route, such as Tianyuan chemical plant,Yibin generate electricity Co.Ltd and so on,are also the social environment sensitive object of the project. The LiuchibeiPark and the White Pagoda Hill Beauty Spot are not in the scope of expropriation and demolishing of project along the route of section A, and the project construction will not directly affect them.
