1 General Situation of the Project

1.1 Background of the Project

At present, heat of buildings in Yangjiazhangzi mine area is mostly supplied by the scattered small boilers, including 5 small boilers with a running efficiency of 45%-65% and total capacity of 80 tons/ hour; since most of the existing boilers are running in a state of over loading, their heating quality can not reach the standard that some users indoor heating temperature is merely 13℃; The deduster and smoke control equipments for the boiler of 1-5MW in the scattered small boilers are too simple and outmoded that their dust removal efficiency is merely 50%; dust and smoke removal equipments of 6-10MW are simple and outmoded with a dust removalefficiency of 85%; dust and smoke cleaning equipments of 10-15MW are simple and outmoded with a dust collection efficiency of 90%; boilers of 1-10MW is running without desulphurization facilities, while boilers of 10-15MW is equipped with too simple desulphurization facilities having a desulphurization rate of50%; Consequently, the atmospheric pollution is getting severe.

The mode of the heating supply by the scattered boiler rooms do great harm to the urban environment, not noly increase the transportation quantity of the coal, slag and ash, give high pressure on the municipal traffic and emission pollution of the transportation vehicles but also use vast construction land and urban green space, which severely affect the cityscape and deteriorate the environmental quality of Yangjiazhangzi mine area.

Due to the existing problems mentioned above, to build a large heat source with vast heat network based on central heat supply rather than the scattered boiler room is an inevitable option for its urban development, which cause the decrease of the energy consumption, land use, soot and emission of SO2, Nox and lighten the transportation quantity of the coal, slag and ash, give high pressure on the municipal traffic and emission pollution of the transportation vehicles. As a result, the urban environment will be greatly improved.

4 Analysis of the Environmental Impact

This Chapter is aiming at collecting the negative environmental impact of the project, which is mainly based on the environmental impact report of the project.

4.1 Status Quo of Environment Quality

(1) Ambient Air Quality

Tab.4-1 Ambient Air Quality

Monitoring time / Monitoring spots / TSP / SO2
Daily mean concentration ranges / standard / Hourly concentration ranges / standard / Daily mean concentration ranges / standard
from 13 Jan., 2007 to 15 Jan., 2007 / 1 / 0.258
~0.543 / 0.30 / 0.004

0.054 / 0.50 / 0.025~0.039 / 0.15

Both the daily mean and hourly value of SO2 inthe monitoring spots can meet the standard.

TSP over standard has been found in the monitoring spot.

(2)Acoustic Environment Quality

The noise monitoring value of construction spot and 13 heat-exchange stations is up to Grade Ⅱof Standard of environmental noise of urban area. (GB3096-93).

The ambient noise surrounding the residential area meets the requirement of the standard.

4.2Environmental Impact Analysis during Construction Period

4.2.1Environmental impact analysis on heat source plant and heat-exchange station during Construction

(1) The impact of blowing dust during construction

The ground blowing dust during construction period is mainly from transportation vehicles and other vehicles used for construction. The analogy investigation data shows that blowing dust produced by construction and vehicles for transportation has a significant impact on a range within 30m from both sides of road, and the concentration of TSPcan reach 10mg/ m3 or more.

(2) Waste gas during construction

The pollutants contained NO2, CO, CmHn, etc are the results of the oil-burning machineries and automobile exhaust. It is showed in the related test result that that the concentration of NO2 is 150μg/ m3, and the impact range can reach 200 m round.

(3) Waste water during construction

Domestic sewageproduced by the constructors during constructioncontained the main pollutants such as SS, CODCr,is main wastewater

(4) Noise during construction

Noise during constructionis generated mainly by the different machines and vehicles, as well as bulldozer, grab, loader and unloader, pile driver in the primary period, concrete mixer, etc. The noise intensity and equivalent sound level located at different distances from the sound source is shown in Table 4-2. Noise attenuation calculated by the attenuation of sound pressure level in free-field of spot resource.

Table 4-2 Main noise source intensity and noise value at different distances Unit: dB(A)

Constriction period / Main noise source / Sound level / Distance from sound source (m)
20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 1300
Earthwork period / Gab and bull dozer etc / 90~102 / 66~76 / 60~70 / 56~66 / 54~64 / 52~62 / 46~56 / 40~50 / 29~39

(5) Waste and backfill during construction

Heat source plant and heat-exchange stationsdo no harm effect to the ecological environment during construction. The earthwork generated not cleaning our in time during construction and backfill will do great effect on the form of secondary blowing dust to the ambient environment on once the beginning of the heave wind.

4.2.2Environmental impact analysis on heat pipeline network during Construction

The environmental impact of laying heating pipe network changes with the differences of the laying methods of pipes.

(1)Analysis on atmospheric environmental impact

The blowing dust is the main reason caused the environmental atmospheric pollution during the operation of the pipeline network, especially the blowing dust during the earthwork digging and piling, materials transportation, pavement removing, earthwork backfilling, road recovering, and vehicles transportation.
