1 Brief Introduction of the Project


1.1 Project Background

Jiangxi Poyang Lake Basin and Ecological Economic Zone Small Town
Development Demonstration Project (JPESTP) would involve 11 counties
(county-level cities or districts) from 8 prefecture-level cities of
Nanchang, Pingxiang, Jiujiang, Ganzhou, Ji'an, Yichun, Fuzhou and Shangrao:
(1) Jinxian County, Nanchang; (2) Luxi County, Pingxiang; (3) Jiujiang
County and Gongqingcheng City, Jiujiang; (4) Gan County and Ruijin City,
Ganzhou; (5) Jinggangshan City, Ji'an; (6) Yifeng County, Yichun; (7)
Nanfeng County, Fuzhou; and (8) Hengfeng County and Dexing City, Shangrao.
Main contents of the project include improving urban road system,
increasing urban water supply coverage, improving and enhancing urban flood
control capacity and afforestation along dikes, protecting urban wetland
amid urban expansion, and improving places of cultural activities for urban
residents, which involve a total of 22 subprojects. Total cost estimate of
the project is RMB2,202.176 million yuan (or U$349.552 million), which
includes a proposed loan of U$150 million (RMB945 million yuan, or 42.9% of
total cost) from the World Bank and RMB1,257.176 million yuan (U$199.552
million, or 57.1% of total cost) of counterpart funding.

Through its Document 2617 (issued in 2010 by the Foreign Capital
Utilization Department), the Sate Development and Reform Commission (NDRC)
included JPESTP as one of proposed projects in the World Bank's lending
pipeline for FY2011-2013. In the State Council's approval (November 2010)
to NDRC's Request for Approval of the Program of Proposed Projects in China
to Use World Bank Loan during FY2011-2013, JPESTP was also included.
Immediately after this, Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform
Commission (PDRC) established the Provincial Project Management Office
(PPMO) and actively carried out preparation for the project.

In June 2012, following relevant laws and regulations and relevant policies
and procedure of the World Bank, the PPMO entrusted the following three
institutes to jointly undertake environmental impact assessment (EIA) for
JPESTP: Institute of Poyang Lake Eco-economics, Jiangxi University of
Finance and Economics; Beijing Huaqing Lishui Environmental Technology Co.,
Ltd.; and Environmental Engineering Technology Development Center, Jiangxi
Academy of Sciences. Immediately after accepting the task, these three
institutes formed a joint EIA Team for JPESTP to carry out relevant
activities. Between April 16 and April 18, 2012, an environmental
specialist from the World Bank provided training to the team on the Bank's
operational policies and specific EIA requirements for the project.
Pursuant to training contents and the requirements for environmental
screening and categorization as specified in the Bank's Safeguard Policy on
Environmental Assessment (OP4.01) and through environmental screening of
the project's category, location, sensitivity and size as well as features
and scale of its potential environmental impacts, the project was
identified as a Category B project.


Pursuant to World Bank requirements and the features and complexity of
Ruijin City Mianjiang River (Lucao Lake) Wetlands Protection and
Utilization Subproject, a stand-alone EIA is required for the subproject
and a consolidated Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required for the
other 21 subprojects, which is provided in this report. This EMP does not
cover the Mianjiang River Wetlands Subproject. All subprojects covered by
this EMP are listed in Table 1-1 and their geographical location is shown
in the attached Figure 1.

After accepting the entrusted task and receiving training of World Bank
operational policy
