1.1 Project Introduction
With the social economy development of Yueshan Town and further acceleration of the urbanization process, the urban construction takes on a new look. However, some problems arising from the urban development are in urgent need of solutions, including undeveloped town economy, small aggregated economic volume, low industrial management level, delayed infrastructure and public facility construction of small towns, depressed urban visitor flowrate and logistics, poor attraction effect, serious environment pollution, and insufficient construction funds; especially, as the production and domestic wastewater of Yueshan Town is randomly discharged without any treatment or directly drained into adjacent channels and there are no uniform drainage pipelines, the water body and adjacent areas are seriously polluted, the living of residents in adjacent towns is significantly impacted, and the inhabitation environment quality of the towns declines increasingly. In order to further promote the healthy and sustainable social and economic development of Yueshan Town as well as enhance the urban habitation environment quality and the status of insufficient construction funds for the infrastructures, it is determined to utilize the WB loans to construct the integrated economic development demonstration town project of Hunan Province and faithfully accelerate the rapid and sustainable economic and social development of Yueshan Town by means of the site reconnaissance of the provincial, municipal, and county-level development and reform departments and experts based on the tenets of WB loans of “improving the environment and enhancing the sustainable development” and the actual conditions of Yueshan Town.
In December 2010, Yueshan Town initially completed the identification reporting information of Hunan Province Utilizing WB Loans to Construct the Integrated Economic Development Demonstration Town. In January 2011, in order to accelerate the progress of Hunan Province Utilizing WB Loans to Construct the Integrated Economic Development Demonstration Town, the People’s Government of Yueshan Town entrusted Hunan Provincial International Engineering Consultation Center to compile the Feasibility Study Report on Hunan Integrated Economic Development Demonstration Town Utilizing WB Loans. In February 2011, the expert group went to the site and performed investigation and survey, according to the actual conditions of Yueshan Town, the construction scheme and content were prepared and it was also determined to utilize the WB loans to develop the construction of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and supporting projects, industrial development research of small towns, small town management research, staff training, and other construction projects through discussions and negotiations with the government of Yueshan Town. Currently, all preliminary preparations of the project are in smooth progress.
The project is a newly-built one, with the total investment of RMB 41.0469 million yuan and land occupation area of 8529m2 (12.8mu). The newly-increased wastewater treatment scale is 6000m3/d, (to be constructed in two stages, the assessment this time is focused on the stage I, with the scale of 3000m3/d), and the wastewater collection pipe networks of the town area are reconstructed and perfected.
The main technical indices for Yueshan Town Subproject of Xiangxiang City under Hunan Integrated Economic Development Demonstration Town Project utilizing WB loans are shown in Table 1.

1.2 EMP Targets
Based on the inevitable environmental impacts of the project, the EMP is compiled to formulate a set of environmental protection countermeasures, which is technologically feasible, and financially sustainable and operable, and make clear the environmental mitigation and management measures, and institutional establishment and arrangement that the project Contractor, Supervisor, Operator and environmental management departments shall implement so as to eliminate or compensate for the negative social and environmental impacts caused by the project to minimize the impacts to the acceptable level. Specific targets include:
(1) Make clear the environmental management obligations of the Contractor and Operator
The Environment Protection Bureau of Xiangxiang City, environment assessment unit, and Design Institute has made specific site checking and confirmation to the environmental protection target, put forward the effective environment mitigation measures and incorporated them into the project design, which are regarded as the contractual obligation of the project construction Contractor and Operator.
(2) Take it as the operation guideline for the environmental management
The EMP during the construction period and the operation period described in the Environmental monitoring Plan can ensure the effective implementation of the environment mitigation measures, which will be made as the environmental protection text and submitted to the construction supervision unit, environmental supervision unit, and other relevant units during the construction period and the operation period, so as to define the responsibilities and effects of relevant functional departments and management agencies as well as put forward the communication and exchange channels and modes of all departments.
(3) Expenditure to ensure the environmental management action
The EMP has estimated the expenditures for the mentioned environmental management, environmental supervision, and capability building and described the expenditure source, so as to ensure all environmental management actions can be implemented. The management expense includes the staff salaries, office expense, and traveling expense.
The EMP is intended to avoid and control the environmental impact during the project implementation and operation, and put forward the impact mitigation measures, monitoring measures, legal supervision means, and guarantee measures of above measures to be performed, which is a key link between the impact mitigation measures and the alternative measures assessed and described in the environmental impact and environment assessment. And, the EMP also specifies the technical annotations, investment estimate, implementation plan, functions of the governmental agency, fund source, and monitoring scheme for each environmental management measure. To reach the reduction target, all methods involved with the environmental impact assessment report and the EMP shall be implemented.
1.3 EMP Compilation
The report is compiled by Changsha Environmental Protection Career Technical College entrusted by Hunan Project Management Office; during compilation, all participators are subjected to relevant training and technical guidance. The EMP of the project will be compiled in strict accordance with the national and provincial environmental management laws and regulations. In the premise of meeting the Chinese environment assessment requirements, the requirements of the security regulations of the WB shall be paid special attention; see relevant stipulations in the operation article 4.01 for details.
