Foreword

Since the development of urbanization and mechanization has led to the ever-increasing gasoline usage in China, energy will be principal factor influencing the Chinese social and economic development in future. For a long time, the country’s urban public traffic infrastructure construction has been lagged behind, and urban public traffic system is unable to satisfy the high-quality daily travelling of urban citizens. The acute imbalances between supply and demand of urban traffic are mainly reflected by the insufficient urban public traffic system capacity, out-of-step development of urban public traffic system with the urban scale, single urban public traffic structure and lack of the advanced traffic planning concept with most of cities experiencing the absence of public traffic-oriented traffic planning. This project is an important measure to optimize public traffic of Harbin and promote economic and social development and need to deal with cold weather and ease traffic difficulties under cold weather. Intelligent public traffic system is the only way to integrate data information and guarantee operation and management efficiency.

Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System of Harbin has construction period of five years, the construction contents of which include: I. Public traffic priority corridor construction project; II. Public traffic infrastructure construction project; III. Traffic management and safety construction project; IV. Road maintenance and emergency response construction project; V. Institutional capacity construction. The project has a total investment of RMB 1435.4186 million Yuan, including construction investment of RMB 1412.7449 million Yuan (including engineering cost of RMB 1179.5387 million Yuan, other construction costs of RMB 106.4000 million Yuan and reserve cost of RMB 126.8062 million Yuan) and interest during construction period of RMB 22.6737 million Yuan.

Environmental Protection Science Research Institute of Heilongjiang Province, being entrusted by Communications Bureau of Harbin, undertook the environmental impact assessment of the project. Upon the entrustment, we rapidly set up the project group for environmental impact assessment consisting of assessment professionals in the field of noise, atmosphere, ecology, water and society. Basing on the serious studies on the previous outcomes of the project progress, the group carried out detailed investigation and filed survey along the project line, and collected relevant information from departments involved of Harbin and eventually prepared, in combination with the feasibility study report of the project, the Environment Impact Report of Alpine-cold Intelligent Public Traffic System Construction Project of Harbin (Draft for Examination) in September, 2013.

Winter (November to March) in Harbin lasts as long as five months and it starts from October 3 and ends at April 30 (210 days) on which the average temperature is below 10 ℃ and the weather is cold and dry. January is the coldest month and its average temperature is -20.3 ℃, the extreme low temperature being -38.1 ℃ (within urban district). In midwinter, the temperature always drops sharply and big snow storm would hit the city due to outbreak of severe cold air and its southward movement which seriously affects the city’s traffic and makes it inconvenient for people to go outside. The city district of Harbin is mainly distributed on the three-stage terraces shaped by the impact of Songhua River: the first terrace is flat and its elevation varies between 132 m and 140 m. It mainly includes Daoli District and Daowai District; The second terrace whose elevation varies between 147 m to 175 m is gradually developed from the first terrace and there is no clear boundary between the two terraces. It mainly covers part of Nangang District and Xiangfang District in a large area and it is an important agriculture district of Harbin provided deep soil layer and fertile soil after erosion of running water for a long time. The third terrace covers Huangshanzuizi and southern part of Pingfang District and its elevation varies between 180 m and 200 m. It gradually expands to Zhangguangcai Ridge southeastwards in hilly area.

Harbin is an key open city in the inland of China and a pilot city of comprehensive reform and it enjoys a series of preferential policies given by the country, especially that Harbin’s “Inland Port”, the first inland port in China’s inland city and a port city without coast, is approved by the State Council making it possible for container cargo to enter and leave ports and go in bond and out bond directly, which compensates the shortcoming that there is no harbor.

3.2.4 City Construction and Environmental Protection

The city’s environment is greatly improved. The urban district is constructed as a whole and more than ten key projects have been completed including the reconstruction of removing obstacles in Hejiagou and the construction of overpass bridge from Shangzhi Street to Haicheng Street. More than 10 kilometers rural roads have been constructed. There are 50 landscape courtyards in municipal level and green courtyards, 3 featured landscapes decorated by lanterns, and 405 buildings of … Themed on “Forever Green”, 10 landscape courtyards and 40 green courtyards have been constructed, adding an area of 131,779 square meters of green land, whose green coverage ratio is 29.9%.

The ability of environmental protection has been improved.

3.2.5 General Situation of Infrastructure Development in Project Area

After years of construction, Harbin’s transportation has been greatly improved. However, there are still many problems such as lacking of infrastructure in road net, stations, etc., and coordination among different transportation means, differences of management systems and policies made by different sectors, and lacking of information communication, which are shown as below:

Traffic of the city---low density of city road net; small number and poor connectivity of fast roads and arterial roads; aging and lacking of channel infrastructure to cross rivers restricting the city’s development and the interaction between the two banks; unbalance in the coverage of public traffic network; lacking of right for roads leading to a poor function of bus transit lanes; lacking of public traffic stations making it hard to take advantage of the public traffic; the problem of parking in city which is more serious; poor management of parking which needs to be further improved; poor traffic environment for pedestrian paths and slow speed roads; the new challenge is posed in terms of how to make a harmonious and environmental-friendly traffic environment in the city.

External traffic in the city---severe unbalance in cargo categories and transportation volume between up going railway transportation and down going railway transportation; severe insufficiency of transport capacity in different seasons and different directions; bad traffic gather and distribution in cities and stations divided by different railway lanes; low grade and density of road network; poor circuity of arterial roads; presence of bottleneck roads; serious in exits and passageways of roads in cities (towns); bad road condition of rural roads; lower level of overall service; lacking of channels that crossing rivers still; incapacity of direct communication between counties and cities on the two banks of Songhua River; decrease in water volume after navigation; lagging of infrastructure construction; aging of ships; insufficiency of taking the advantage of water transport of Songhua River; independence of different stations and lacking of communication and coordination; lacking of main stations which are too small in scale and are bad in gathering and distributing cargos externally; lacking of connectivity and cooperation among different transportation means; and lacking of unified planning, coordination and management mechanism.

The management systems are different and policy differences are obvious——the transport market system is imperfect, the management system reform lags and institutional barriers, such as “perform their own policy” exist; multi-channel and multi-level transportation investment and financing system and mechanism have not been formed; it is short of the orientation and guidance of “public traffic priority”, bus operation is disperse, bus economic subsidies, compensation policy and mechanism have not been established and bus operation and management level needs to be improved.

There are 1,862 roads in the city area currently with total length as 2,166 km, wherein, the length of the express way is 167 km, that of main road is 463 km and that of secondary road is 341 km and the basic layout is “two axes, three rings and ten rays”. There are 252 bridges of all varieties. The average density of road network in the built-up area is 6.5 km/km2; density of main road network is 2.93 km/km2. Land for urban road square is 34.32 km2, land rate of road is 10.6% and the road land use per capita is 9.0 m2. 2 pedestrian streets: the pedestrian street on the Central Avenue (west second street-west fourteenth street) is 1,429 m long; the pedestrian street on the Jianshe street (Dazhi street-Youzheng street) is 240 m long.

The net begins to take shape and has covered the whole city. The bus operation net of the whole city is 776.6 km and there are 205 bus coding lines; there are 5,433 operational buses in the city. The number of buses has increased by 38 in 2012, the updated buses are 562, 600 large-capacity buses start to operate and the bus passenger capacity has reached 1.16 billion.

Harbin has started to implement establishment of “bus city” demonstration city in 2012, has constructed 200 bus platforms totally, 23 first and last station of public traffic and has started to construct 6 bus transfer integrated hubs. Currently, centered in railway passenger station, Harbin station and Harbin east station have been formed initially and Harbin west station has been put into operation, forming a large-scale integrated hub with convenient transfer of various means of transportation.

Subway (rail transit) has met the urban rail transit planning and has been in construction. No. 1 Route has been started and No. 3 Route is to be started. According to the frame of Systematic Planning of Harbin Bus Transit Lane, the construction efforts of bus transit lane has been strengthened through coordinating urban construction, planning and public security, traffic police and other departments. A bus lane of 30.65 km long has been set in Harbin station, Zhongshan Road, Xinyang Road, Dongdazhi Street, Xidazhi Street and other streets; the bus reverse driving lane has been set in the one-way traffic organization of the five streets, such as Guogeli Street, Shitoudao Street, Diduan Street, Shangzhi Street and Senlin Street; the limitation for left-hand bend of the bus has been canceled in the level crossing of longitude and latitude twelfth street, Diduan Street and other main roads in the city area.

Currently, there are only 30.65 km of bus transit lane, which are disperse mutually. Effective network has not been formed. As a result of occupation of cars and other motor vehicles, road resource is more and more limited, especially the bus corridor with heavier bus trip. Because of large density of net layout and a lack of bay parking stations (only taking up 6.9%), buses on various routes always reach the station at the same time with very disordered traveling order, so the bus speed and on-time rate are influenced more seriously. The average running speed of the buses in the bus corridor is only 14.7 km/h currently, which is far from the standard of 20 km/h required by Ministry of Construction. Furthermore, the signal monitoring system and vehicle guidance system ensuring public traffic priority have not been established, which increased the parking time of buses largely and reduced the traveling speed.

Three public traffic priority corridors of the project are unrelated to the underground pipe network. Xiangbin Road is Harbin Bus Corporation currently, underground pipe network is of underground water supply and heat supply pipe network. There is no construction plan recently. The construction pipe network of hub station of Xiangbin Road is directly connected to the underground pipe network of the Bus Corporation.

|Environment comparison: |

| |

|①Acoustic environment: the feasible scheme can guarantee the running speed of road, to avoid the driver from whistling due to irritable |

|mood caused by low vehicle speed, to relieve the noise impact of sensitive points as both sides. |

|②Atmospheric environment: the exhaust emitted in bad car traffic capacity is more than good traffic capacity, thus, the feasible scheme |

|is better than the existing scheme. |

|③Ecological environment (including solid waste): the ecological environment impacts of the two schemes are consistent, both of them are |

|small. |

|Conclusion: comparing with the cross section scheme, the non-motor vehicle lane is too wide, the motor vehicles are driving and parking |

|on the non-motor vehicle lane, which may cause greater impact on safety of non-motor vehicles. After comparing with canalization of |

|cross section, the motor vehicle lane is too wide, which is not safe for the pedestrians to cross the street. The feasible scheme can |

|avoid the motor vehicles driving on the non-motor vehicle lane, thus, it is recommended to adopt the feasible scheme. |

| |

|Taking into account of the above factors, the feasible road scheme is better than the current status. |

|The width of road redline of major road sections of the comparison scheme is 39 to 45 m, which is planned as urban main road, the road |

|trend is along the design of the original road, and the designed road redline is the redline of the original road. The road mainly |

|crosses the following control points: Xiangzheng Street, Xiangli Street, Zhigong Street, Caiku Street and Lijiang Road etc. The whole |

|road is one plate (one way road) type. |

|In graphic design of road, the route shall meet the safety and driving comfort requirements, and modify partial unreasonable places of |

|the original road, and arrange the easement curve, superelevation and broadening reasonably. The turning points of the route shall be |

|arranged within the intersection range as much as possible. Regulate the unreasonable phenomena at entrances and exits on both sides of |

| |

|The stream of people of public traffic corridor of Hongqi Avenue is larger, the recommended scheme is convenient for people and |

|non-motor vehicles to cross. Through comprehensive consideration, it is suggested to adopt the recommended scheme. |

|Taking into account of the above factors, the feasible road scheme is better than the current status. |

Besides, the environment impact assessment also suggests:

1. For overpass of public traffic corridor: add ceiling and cover, pay attention to anti-slip (the feasible scheme has been adopted)

2. The bus stops shall be close to the traffic lights as much as possible, to be convenient for passengers to cross: do not newly build or dismantle overpass and underpass, and adding caring for the vulnerable groups.

5.2 Public Traffic Infrastructure Construction Project

5.2.1 Suggestions on Existing and New Buses

(1) If spreading snow-melting agent in the compartment, the snow-melting agent contains salt, the floor in the compartment is iron, which is easy to be corroded.

(2) Non-slip mat: in winter, the compartment floor may freeze a thick layer of ice. If laying plastic non-slip mat, the mat may be frozen firmly by the thick layer of ice, then it will lose the anti-slip function completely. For the plastic floor, the non-slip layer may be damaged through using for a long time.

(3) Using abrasive floor in the bus can avoid the impact generated by freezing of non-slip mat.

It is suggested to use abrasive floor in the bus in the environment impact assessment, meanwhile, anti-slip carpet shall be arranged on the steps, which shall be fixed on the vehicle, to prevent passengers from falling down when getting on or off the bus due to carpet slipping.

(4) Make passengers be easier to confirm the starting point, target point and the location of themselves in the space through strengthening certain spatial forms (such as adding the main passages getting through various spaces, and the atrium space acting as the space center), factors (light, color and material quality etc.). Lead the stream of people through construction manner as much as possible, instead of simply canalization the stream of people by using handrail and ropes.

(5) Provide comfortable waiting space (shelter from wind and rain, bright and enough chairs); the stair width of transfer passage, anti-slip measures, and numbers of escalator shall match with the stream of people, besides, the arrangement of infrastructures such air conditioning and rest room in the transfer hall shall be taken into account.

5.2.2 Public Traffic Hub Station

The public traffic hub station project includes one site in all, i.e. Xiangbin Road public traffic hub station, based on the objective requirements of “north jump, south expansion, middle resurgence and strong county” strategy and the development model concept of public traffic urban “with intensive public traffic as main part, several kinds of transportation modes operating coordinately”, construct “periphery loop” 6 public traffic urban pilot demonstration parking and transfer integrated hub, Xiangbin Road hub station is one of them, which is planned to part 6 bus lines. Its particularity cannot be replaced; therefore, this environment impact assessment will not discuss the site.

Environment Impact Assessment Suggestions:

1. The passages in the station shall use closed ceiling, in order to guarantee the light within the passages and no constriction generated by passengers, it is suggested that the ceiling using transparent materials.

2. The rainwater on shoes of the passengers and the rainwater on the umbrella in rainy season, and the snow on shoes of the passengers and the snow spread on clothes in snow season may drop on the floor of the passage. In environment impact assessment, it is required to add the anti-slip facilities such as anti-slip design and laying carpet on the passage, meanwhile, in view of the low temperature in winter, if the carpets is frozen, they will be surrounded by ice, which may lead to slippery road, if carpet is laid, it is required that the passage is provided with insulation function. If carpets are not used, the ground itself shall be designed as anti-slip ground.

3. The waiting hall is provided with one rest room at present, which can be used by 4 persons at the same time, including 2 males and 2 females. In the environment impact assessment, it is suggested to increase the number of rest room to the condition that 8 persons can be used at the same time, include 3 males and 5 females, to guarantee the usage of passengers.

4. There are 8 chairs in the waiting hall at present, in the environment impact assessment. It is suggested to increase to 30, to guarantee waiting comfort of passengers.

5. See Table 2-2-5, it is suggested to adjust the driver lounge, dispatching room and monitoring guardhouse layout from floor 1 to floor 2 or floor 3, to guarantee the demands of residents in floor 1 to waiting chairs and rest room. Besides, the parking space in the waiting hall is too much, or the waiting hall is too small, it is suggested to reduce parking space correspondingly, and increase areas of waiting hall of floor 1.

5.2.2 First and Last Station Project of Public Traffic

The first and last station project of public traffic includes two sites, i.e. First and Last Bus Station at Qunli First Avenue and First and Last Station at Hexie Street. In order that the first and last station of the line is coincided with OD point of major passenger flow between each traffic zone of the city, avoid unnecessary short distance transfer; in the newly-built vast stretches of residential districts located in the urban peripheral, arrange the two first and last stations of bus line according to the passenger flow volume. Its particularity cannot be replaced, thus, the feasible scheme does not give the comparison site of the site in the subproject, therefore, this environment impact assessment will not discuss the comparison scheme.

Environment Impact Assessment Suggestions:

1. For the first and last station with small areas: the indoor area is not large, it is suggested to change the layout of dispatching room from ground floor 1 to ground floor 2 in the environment impact assessment; change the car washing room and repair room layout from ground floor 1 to underground floor 1, to guarantee enough passenger waiting space.

2. On ground floor 1, increase the chairs in the waiting zone from 6 currently to 12, and the rest rooms shall be increased from using by 2 persons to using by 4 persons at the same time. It is required to add public traffic information service system.

3. Buildings recommended reducing the floor height

The upstairs of hub and first and last station are all internal office rooms (non-public use), in environment impact assessment, try to reduce floor height as much as possible, but it shall guarantee the health level of users is not affected, and the theoretical basis are as follows:

①National standard of the People’s Republic of China Design Code for Residential Buildings GB500961999 requirements: the floor height of common residence should not be higher than 2.80 m; the ceiling height of bedroom and living room (hall) shall not be lower than 2.40 m, and the ceiling height of kitchen and rest room shall not be lower than 2.20 m. Today, many developed countries on the world limit their respective ceiling height of residence below 3 m, for example, the American regulation is 2.28 to 2.4 m, the UK regulation is 2.2 to 2.4 m, and Japanese and Poland regulation is 2.2 to 2.6 m.

②Floor height and ceiling height of residence may directly affect the project cost, it is due to the condition that if the floor height and ceiling height increases, the wall area will increase, the column volume will increase, and bring about foundation pipeline heating factors, which may also increase the project cost. When the floor height is reduced from 3 m to 2.8 m, the comprehensive cost of each set of resident will reduce 4% to 5%, which can also save materials, energy and be benefit for anti-seismic mouth.

③On the condition that meeting the using requirements and sanitary requirements, reduce the floor height properly may reduce the housing spacing correspondingly, which may save land, reduce housing weight, and save materials. Proper reduction in floor height may save energy. Space ratio treatment shall use different treatments of window to adjust the space sense of proportion. Through using the contrast technique of setting off high with low, reduce the ceiling of the secondary room, so as to make the major space look taller, and the secondary space is kind and pleasant.

④Impacts on energy conservation by floor height are mainly reflected on the following aspects: production energy consumption of building materials is usually larger, reducing the floor height can reduce the using amount of wall materials, pipeline engineering materials and base materials of building. Building envelope area: the heat transmission amount of building envelope is proportional to the heat transmission area thereof, reduction in heat transmission area can reduce heat transmission amount effectively. The heat transmission area of wall depends on the floor height and perimeter of house; therefore, on the condition that meeting the using head room height requirements of house, the floor height shall not be increased at will. When the wall thickness, perimeter and wall material is unchanged, changes of floor height may directly bring about changes of heat transmission amount.

5. Indoor and outdoor anti-slip suggestion of the station facilities:

①Outdoor anti-slip of bus station – It is suggested that the outdoor ground granite plate of the first and last station is fire board, which can play a role in anti-slip, to prevent the pedestrian from falling down.

②Indoor anti-slip of bus station – It is suggested to lay carpets on the passages people getting through inside the bus station, which is used for anti-slip, to prevent pedestrian from falling down.

5.3 Zero Scheme Comparison

The so-called zero scheme is that there is no construction in the project. Zero scheme comparison is the comparison of impact on external environment between no construction and construction of project.

Seen from the relevant contents of project construction meaning, if the project is not constructed, the phenomena of congestion at the relevant traffic intersection and roads may occur in Harbin, the reduction of car running speed may also cause increase of fuel quantity and pollutant emission, meanwhile, it may increase travel time of pedestrians, reduce efficiency, which may not only consume fuel but also pollute environment, therefore, the impact on external environment by zero scheme is obvious.

On the contrary, if the project is constructed, it may certainly reduce the current traffic congestion phenomena, to make a corresponding increase in running speed of cars, while reduce pollutant emission and be convenient to travelling of pedestrians, which is not only energy conservation but also emission reduction. Of course, smooth road may bring about increase in car ownership, which may increase fuel and pollutant emission correspondingly, but it only can be realized based on improvement of people’s living standard, therefore, it has essential difference with no development and no construction of zero scheme.

In general, the project is a project with more positive environment benefit than negative benefit, which is benefit for people’s livelihood, and the impact on external environment by project construction is obviously greater than zero scheme impact caused by no construction.

6 Environmental Impact Perdition in Construction Period

6.1 Social Environmental Impact Analysis in Construction Period

6.1.1 Analysis of Impact on Urban Traffic

(1) This project involves many road sections, at present, the traffic volume on three public traffic corridors of Youyi Road, Xinyang Road, Hongqi Avenue, therefore the construction of this project has certain influence on the daily traffic. Some road sections may suffer from traffic jam and stoppage at the rush hours, and encounter the morning peak and evening peak, the traffic condition is serious. At this moment, the traffic manage department shall control and manage it, utilize the adjacent road network to organize the traffic and diverge the traffic, so as to guarantee that the normal life of resident will not be interrupted.

(2) During the construction, plenty of construction machinery and transportation vehicles will be used in the construction, therefore the traffic flow along the line will be increased, disturbing the urban traffic.

6.1.2 Analysis of Impacts on Residents Living

From the analysis of impacts on urban traffic, it can be seen that the urban traffic will be disturbed during the construction of engineering, causing the traffic jam and crowd of urban road, and the public traffic line shall be laid out again when the division and bypass measures and other temporary measures are taken, which will bring influence and inconvenience to the residents’ trip, work and living.

6.1.3 Impacts on Urban Infrastructure

Three public traffic corridors will be built in this project, mainly changing the pavement, without influencing the urban ground and underground water pipeline network, electricity, gas and communication facilities. During the construction of sidewalk, the trip of pedestrian will be influenced temporarily, but this influence will disappear after the completion of construction, with the influence small. The bus first and last station and the hub of this project has no impact on urban ground and underground water pipeline network, electricity, gas and communication facilities, which will be integrated into the urban underground pipeline network after completion. The construction of this project has no impacts on the urban drainage facilities.

6.2 Analysis of Impacts on Ambient Air Quality in Construction Period

6.2.1 Analysis of Impacts on Ambient Air Quality in Construction Period

During construction, the ambient air impact factor is flying dust and dust. The wind will cause the material stacked in the open air dusting, especially when the wind speed is stronger and the material is dry and not covered, the dusting pollution is serious. During the construction, there are certain dust dispreading into the surrounding air during the transportation, loading and unloading and mixing process, influencing the regional air quality; The other kind is the exhaust discharged by the construction machinery and heavy-duty vehicle during the running, the main pollutant is carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and hydrocarbon (HC), and the pollution will be more serious when the vehicle drives at overspeed.

①Road dust

The road dust is mainly caused due to the transportation of construction material by the construction vehicle on the road; there are many factors causing the road dust, it is mainly related to running speed of vehicle, wind speed, quantity of dust accumulated on the road and the humidity of dust accumulated on the road, wherein the wind speed can also directly influence the transmission distance of dust; due to that it is strong windy weather in the project area, therefore the road dust pollution is serious during the construction.

According to the monitoring (see Table 6-2-1) on the vehicle dust on Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway during construction by the Ministry of Communication Road, the TSP concentration is 5.093mg/m3 at 150m at the down wind direction, and the influence scope of pollution will expand when the wind speed is larger.

Table 6-2-1 Monitoring Result of Vehicle Dust on Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway during Construction

|Monitoring Place |Source of Dust Pollution |Distance of Sampling Point |Monitoring Result (mg/m3) |

| | |(m) | |

|Roadside at the construction |At the moment of laying the |50 |11.652 |

|site at Wuqingyang Village |cement stabilization road top | | |

| |basement and dust of | | |

| |transportation vehicle | | |

| | |100 |19.694 |

| | |150 |5.093 |

From the above table, we can see that the concentration of dust will be reduced quickly with the increase of distance.

②Dust at the stacking yard

The type, nature and wind speed of material at the ash stacking yard has a lot to do with the dust capacity; the material with small specific gravity can be disturbed easily and generate dust, and the dust capacity will be large when the small grain accounts for most in the material. The dust at the stacking yard include the dust of stacking material caused by the wind, dust caused in the loading and unloading as well as the reentrainment of dust of road accumulated dust caused by the vehicle passing by, which will generate the serious dust pollution, and have certain impact on the surrounding environment, but the dust emission can be effectively restrained through watering, reducing 70% of the dust emission.

③Dust at the construction site of public traffic hub and first and last station

The construction dust generated during the construction of public traffic hub and first and last station is mainly from the excavation of earthwork and stacking on site, the handling and stacking of building material (pale grey, cement, sand, pebble and brick etc.) at the site, the clearing and stacking of construction garbage, and the road dust on site caused by the coming and going of people and vehicle. The analogy method is used in this evaluation to analyze the ambient air impact by utilizing the measured data of existing construction site.

According to the statistics of related data, Beijing Municipal Research Institute of Environmental Protection has monitored the dust condition of 7 construction sites, and the wind speed at the moment of monitoring is 2.4 m/s, and the results are detailed in Table 6-2-2.

Table 6-2-2 TSP Concentration of Dust Pollution of Building Construction Site (Unit: μg/m3)

|Name of Works |In the |Upwind Direction of|Downwind Direction of Construction Site |

| |Construction |Construction Site | |

| |Site | | |

| | | |50m |100m |150m |

|Qianban Construction Site |759 |328 |502 |367 |336 |

|Construction Site of Metallic Material |618 |325 |472 |356 |332 |

|Headquarters | | | | | |

|Construction site of Broadcasting and |596 |311 |434 |376 |309 |

|Construction Site of 5#、11#、12# Building in |509 |303 |11# 538 |12# 465 |314 |

|Jinsong Community | | | | | |

|Average Value |595.5 |316.7 |486.5 |390 |322 |

According to the above data, it can be seen that:

1. The dust of building construction is large, when the wind speed is 2.4m/s, the TSP concentration in the construction site is 1.5 to 2.3 times of that of the control point at the upwind direction (50m), average of 1.88 times, which is equal to 1.4 to 2.5 times of the ambient air quality standard, average of 1.98 times.

2. The influence scope of dust of building construction is 150m within the downwind direction, the TSP concentration average value of area influenced is 491ug/m3, which is 1.5 times of the control points at the upwind direction (50m), equal to 1.6 times of the ambient air quality standard.

6.3 Analysis of Impacts on Water Environment in Construction Period

6.3.1 Analysis of Impacts on Water Environment in Construction Period

The water pollution source in the construction is mainly the construction waste water, washing sewage of mechanical equipment, oily wastewater and domestic wastewater of constructor.

(1) Construction wastewater

The horizontal sedimentation rank is set at the construction site of this project, after the muddy water is treated through the coagulation sedimentation, and the supematant will be reused to the reduce water on the construction site. The production wastewater generated in the construction can be drained into the municipal sewage pipe network after being treated in the sedimentation tank.

(2) Washing wastewater of machinery equipment

According to the study of Li Jing of Environmental Science and Engineering School of Chang’an University, the washing wastewater quantity of general large-scale sand processing system is 3 times of that of the processing the sand, the principal pollutant of sand wastewater is SS, and the concentration of SS is related to the mechanical composition of sand, and the mass concentration of washing wastewater can be more than 500mg/L. According to construction scale and features of this works, the discharge is determined of 0.8m3/d, and the concentration of principal pollutant is COD300mg/L and SS800mg/L.

Table 6-3-1 Demission Source Strength of Construction Wastewater

|Total Quantity of |Pollutant Types |Emission Concentration of Pollutant |Source Strength of |

|Wastewater Generated | | |Pollutant |

|0.8m3/d |COD |300mg/L |2.4kg/d |

| |SS |800mg/L |6.4kg/d |

(3) Oily wastewater

The oily wastewater in the construction period is mainly from the repairing and maintenance of construction machinery as well as the leakage, bubbling, dropping and seeping during the work. It mainly consists of lubrication oil, diesel, gasoline and other petroleum type material, once these materials enter into water body, they will float on the water, hinder the material exchange on the oil-water interface, reduce the dissolved oxygen of water body, and influence the vital movement of water living things. Analogy with the similar engineering statistical data, the quantity generated of oil is about 0.2m3/d, and the concentration of petroleum type material is about 30-150mg/L. Therefore they can be absorbed with solid-state oil absorption material, and then be treated after being mixed and sealed.

(4) Domestic wastewater of constructor

According to estimation, there are about 300 person such as various workers and manager at the traffic hub and first and last station works at the rush hour; according to the domestic water consumption norm of construction site and the analogy investigation of constructors’ water consumption, the total quantity of domestic wastewater generated of this works will be about 2880t/a calculated by taking the 80L/person day, 150 days construction days and 0.8 sewage discharge factor. Component and concentration of domestic wastewater pollutant of construction station is detailed in Table 6-3-2.

|(mg/l) | | | | |

|Discharge (t/a) |0.864 |0.634 |0.432 |0.1 |

6.4 Analysis of Noise Impacts in Construction Period

The main noise source at the construction period of project is the noise generated by various building construction machinery and equipment production, the construction noise generated during the decoration and the noise generated during the transportation of building garbage and raw material. The mechanical equipment used in the construction includes excavator, concrete pump, vibrator, air compressor, electric drill and electric saw etc., and the construction machinery has the feature of high noise, irregular and strong sudden etc. The noise level of some part construction machinery during running is detailed in Table 6-4-1.

|Decoration and Installation Stage|Decorative material and equipment |Light duty truck |75 |

6.4.1 Noise Predicting Result and Impact Analysis in Construction Period

(1) Noise source

Various machineries type are involved in the construction; diesel pile driver, drilling machinery, vacuum pressure pump and concrete batch plant etc. are used in the foundation treatment; bulldozer, road roller, grader, loading and unloading machine etc. are used in the filling of roadbed; Diesel pile driver, winch, bulldozer, road roller etc. are used in the bridge construction, and these sudden noises will have certain impacts on the surrounding acoustic environment. Wherein the noise effect at the construction stage of foundation is the most; two viaducts will be built in this project, therefore the piling work of bridge will generate the serious influence to the acoustic environment along the line, In addition to, during the construction of foundation, accompanied with will bring radiation noise brought by the transportation vehicle of building material, during the transportation of construction material, the transportation road will inevitably select the existing road nearby the sensitive points, but the noise level of mechanical equipment used in the construction is very high, if not controlled, they will have large impacts on the nearby village, schools and environment sensitive points.

According to investigation, the sound pressure level of mechanical equipment (include bulldozer, excavator, grader, concrete mixing machine, road roller and paver etc.) used in the road construction in domestic land at present are detailed in Table 6-4-1, and the noise test value of asphalt concrete mixing station is detailed in Table 6-4-2.

Note: The above data are tested when the construction machinery runs with full load.

The road construction is different from the general construction, and the features of noises generated are as follows:

①Various construction machinery, different construction machinery are used at different construction site, and the quantity of construction machinery used in same construction stage is different, which makes the noise of road construction has the feature of contingency.

②The feature of noise source of different equipment is different, wherein the noise of some equipment is the vibrating type, burst type and impulse type, which has great impact on human body, some equipment’s frequency (such as mixer) is low, which will not attenuate easily, and make people feel agitated. The noise of construction machinery is larger, buy there are large difference between their sound level, and the running noise of some equipment is more than 90 dB.

③The source of construction noise is different from the general fixed noise source, i.e. it has fixed noise source and the flowing noise source. The construction machinery are exposed outdoor, and they are always moved in the certain range, therefore the noise pollution scope is increased compared with the fixed noise source, but the source of construction noise is in the local noise pollution scope compared with the flowing the noise source.

④Compared with the scope influenced, the noise of construction equipment is rather smaller, therefore its noise can be deemed as the point acoustic source.

⑤For specific road section, the pollution of construction noise is only exists for a certain time.

The construction machinery used in works are mostly the flowing sound source, the noise source has certain mobility, discontinuity, wherein the moving scope of transportation vehicle is large, and the bulldozer and excavator etc. has small moving area, with smaller moving scope, its feature of sound source is different from that of the movable vehicle. Therefore, its impacts have obvious time-bound.

For the water supply and drainage work of this project, less machinery is used in the laying of pipeline, with short construction period, and the noise impacts are limited. Therefore this evaluation only predicts and analyzes the noise impacts of construction machinery used in the road works.

(2) Prediction and analysis of noise impacts

In consideration of the complexity of construction noise and the regional and stage of construction noise impact, this evaluation only calculate the noise impact scope of different construction equipment according to national Emission Standard of Environment Noise for Boundary of Construction Site (GB12523-90), so as to ensure that the construction unit can take the proper noise pollution prevention measures by combining with the actual condition.

The noise source of construction equipment will be calculated according to the point source, and its noise prediction mode is:

[pic]

Wherein: Li and L0 is the noise level of equipment at the place Ri and R0 far from the equipment; ΔL is the additional attenuation generated by the obstacle, vegetation and air etc.

For multiple construction machinery, the impacts on the certain predicted position, it is required to add the sound level:

[pic]

(3) Calculation and analysis of construction noise impact scope

According to the above prediction method and mode, the prediction result of noise value (doesn’t overlay with the current value) of various construction machinery at different places is show as Table 6-4-3, without taking the noise attenuation of wood and buildings.

Table 6-4-3 Noise Predicted Value of Various Construction Machinery at Different Places Unit dB (A)

|SN |Machinery Type |Predicted Value of Noise |

| | |5m |10m |20m |

|Vibratory Hammer |75 |67 |48 |44 |

|Road Roller |58 |53 |50 |48 |

|Diesel locomotive |62 |58 |54 |51 |

From Table 6-7-1, it can be seen that when the vibration influence of the above mentioned construction machinery is transmitted to the place 10 m away from the vibration source, the requirements of residents’ cultural and education area in Urban Regional Environment Vibration Standard, and the requirements of artery traffic road at the two sides can be met. The distance between the construction site boundary of this project and residential buildings, schools, kindergarten and culture relic protection site is about 15 to 40m, therefore it is forbidden to use the vibratory hammer and other construction machinery that may generate large vibration at night, so as to prevent the vibration generated disturbing people, and it is required to consider the shockproof device for the machinery. During the construction, it is required to increase the related person’s know on the vibration, shorten the operating time of construction machinery, reasonably distribute and arrange the working position and time.

6.8 Analysis on Impacts on Physical Cultural Resources

The designed protection building of this project includes Friendship Palace, Jiangjun Boiling and Harbin Taotai Mansion.

(1) During the construction, it is inevitable to occupy some site, and the place of construction machinery, and the stacking of earthwork and stonework as well as the construction waste will influence the existing landscape, but the change in landscape during the construction is temporary and is far away from the protection building, therefore it will not directly influence the landscape and tourism visiting.

(2) The construction dust will pollute the surrounding atmospheric environment of the protection building to some extent. Under normal conditions, the dust produced during the construction is the instantaneous source; its particle is large and it is generated at low place, mainly within the nearby construction site; however, if the wind blows, the dust produced by the construction will cover the surface of the ancient buildings to some extent.

(3) The mechanical noise during the construction will affect the buildings to some extent.When the intensity is high, it will cause serious damage.The fragile cultural relics are in the dynamic environment at long-term, which will slowly weaken the strength of the structural surface of rock crack and facilitate the formation and spallation of the dangerous rock. The vibration caused by the short-term and discontinuous construction machinery will not obviously affect the cultural relics.

7 Predication and Assessment of Environmental Impact in Operation Period

7.1 Analysis and Assessment of Social Environment Impact

(1) Save travel time, promote the city's economic development

After implementation, the project will greatly improve the traffic speed of stream of people in the city, save travel time of traveller, improve the efficiency, and let them create values for the society.

Besides, with the development of society, people’s living standard improves continuously, proportion of private cars has increased, petrol and gas filling difficulty and parking difficulty have become the problems that the messes have to face at present stage, and it is inevitable that construction of petrol and gas filling station and public parking lot will greatly alleviate the existing contradictions. Meanwhile, the construction of public traffic hub will inevitably bring more smooth people and logistics communications, promote the economic development of Harbin.

(2) Reduce automobile exhaust emissions, reduce noise

After completion of the project, average speed of automobiles traveling on road will increase on different degrees, with the reduction of traffic congestion phenomenon, vehicles can always keep a constant speed, and the times of start and whistle will decline sharply. For automobile produces minimum exhaust emissions when traveling at constant speed, so the exhaust emissions and noise will be reduced greatly on the condition that vehicle type and fuel etc. are all the same, this will play an important role in improvement of urban air quality and noise environment quality. The construction of public traffic hub station will reduce the usage rate of private car and automobile exhaust emissions.

(3) Promote urban competitiveness, improve competitive environment and attract external investment

Develop regional road traffic resource, strengthen construction of integration of road traffic facilities will have deep influence in promoting the healthy development of urban development and various social causes of Harbin.

After completion, the project will inevitably strengthen the external image of the city further, improve competitiveness of the city and attract more external investment.

Note: Source intensity of NO2 shall be calculated as per 90% source intensity of NOX.

After completion and put into operation, vehicle exhaust will become the main pollutant that influencing the ambient air quality along the road. Vehicle exhaust pollution source can be stimulated as a linear pollution source that emits continuously. The size of quantity of pollutant discharged is closely related with that of traffic volume, meanwhile, it also depends on vehicle type and conditions of running vehicles. In accordance with the experience on environmental impact evaluation of existing road construction project, emissions of vehicle exhaust pollutant in equivalent standard Pi are all far less than 2.5×109 m3/h.

The highway environmental impact, highway environmental protection acceptance investigation on completion and highway analogy monitoring (Specifications for Environmental Impact Assessment of Highways JTG B03—2006) already conducted show that diffusion of pollutant emitted by vehicle during highway operation period is related to the terrain and weather conditions along the highway, the region covered after diffusion is the belt-like region on both sides of highway and parallel to the line. Even the highway with prodigious traffic volume, pollutant concentration of 150m far from central line of the highway has already approach the background value. So the 200m corridor on both sides of central line of highway shall be taken as basis for evaluation of data of highway environmental protection acceptance investigation on completion. Most bus lanes of the project is changed to lanes on both sides of central line, which is relatively far away from environmental sensitive points on roadside, the nearest sensitive point is 3 meters from the project. After transformation of bus lane and purchase of environmentally friendly vehicle, the NO2, CO emitted by vehicles will be lower than in current situation, after completion,

NO2, CO emitted from the project can also satisfy the requirements of implementation standard of Class II district in Ambient Air Quality Standards in the event of traffic volume increase.

7.2.3 Predication and Assessment of Air Quality Impact of Traffic Hub and First and Last Station

(1) Vehicle exhaust

After completion of the project, public traffic hub station, first and last station of public traffic will be built, exhaust of vehicles in and out will cause certain impact to ambient air, pollutants of vehicle exhausts are mainly CO and THC, then NO2. Vehicle exhaust pollutants mainly comes from vehicle exhaust, fuel evaporation in oil tank an carburetor, etc. and leaking gas from crankcase, the percentages of pollutants discharged from these three pollution source in total discharge are shown in Table 7-2-10.

Table 7-2-10 Percentages of Pollutants Discharged from Each Part in Total Discharge

|Emission Source |CO |Non-methane Hydrocarbon |NO2 |

|Exhaust Pipe |98-99 |55-56 |98-99 |

|Crankcase |1-2 |25 |1-2 |

|Fuel System |0 |10-20 |0 |

Vehicle pollutant discharge occurs when in and out of garage, start and stop, and exhaust pollutants produced when vehicle travels at idle speed. When calculate with the usage rate of 70%, each vehicle idles for two times and each idle lasts for 3 minutes, volumes of pollutants analyzed in accordance with relevant data are shown in Table 7-2-11.

Table 7-2-11 Total Exhaust Pollutants Produced in Hub Station and First and Last Station

|Item |CO |THC |NO2 |

|Single Vehicle (g/time) |8.25 |2.34 |0.02 |

|Xiangbin Road Hub Station |2000 |g/d |16500 |4680 |40 |

| | |t/a |6.0225 |1.7082 |0.0146 |

|First and Last Station of Public Traffic |1500 |g/d |12375 |3510 |30 |

|at Qunli First Avenue | | | | | |

| | |t/a |4.5169 |1.281 |0.01095 |

|First and Last Station of Public Traffic |900 |g/d |7425 |2106 |18 |

|at Hexie Avenue | | | | | |

| | |t/a |2.7101 |0.7687 |0.00657 |

In order to reduce exhaust concentration in parking lot and guarantee environmental quality, firstly, strengthen management, dispatch the in and out vehicles well, reduce the excessive pollutants in idle running, so as to reduce discharge further; secondly, install forced air supply equipment, strengthen the ventilation in garage and install alarm device. After adopting good ventilation measures, vehicle exhaust pollutant discharge concentration in parking lot and garage shall conform to Integrated Emission Standard of Air Pollutants (GB16297-1996).

(2) Environment impact from the organic solvent steam

Repair and maintenance work in public traffic station, parking and warranty shop will bring certain adverse effect to air and workers’ health.

The main occupational hazard of paint work is to breathe into the steam of organic solvents. Various paints compose of film forming substances (all kinds of resins), solvents, pigments, desiccants and additives and the gasoline is usually used as solvent for common paint. The iron red epoxy primer contains a little dimethylbenzene and the dipping paint mainly contains methylbenzene. The spray paint (nitrolacquer) and its diluent (banana oil) contains much benzene or methylbenzene, dimethylbenzene; if paint is sprayed in the absence of protection, the concentration of benzene will be quite high in the air of the workplace, which will cause great harm to the hematopoietic organs of painting workers.

Paint mist formed when spraying shall also influence human health, in which, flexibilizer in nitrocellulose lacquer and alkyd paint has larger toxicity. Acid mist evaporates during rust removal shall shall have strong stimulation effect to eyes and respiratory mucosa.

Make full use of protective equipment, such as work clothes and cap, work shoe, protective eyewear, respirator (anti-poison respirator), etc. All these equipment can be used to prevent the solvent being inhaled into the lung and contract with the skin. For exposed skin, protective paste such as petroleum jelly for medical purposes can be applied, which can also be used on hand, and shall be washed after completion of construction.

Natural ventilation and local mechanical ventilation will be used. Spray room shall be built and being equipped with mechanical equipment if conditions permit, meanwhile, paint mists shall be removed by oil screen so as to solve the harm to human health caused by toxic substances and paint mists.

For places where air cannot flow, construction personnel should use forced draft mask, implement intermittent operation, strengthen labor protection, and benzene solvent cannot be used to wash hands, the impact of harm gas to human body can be relieved in this way.

The range of effect to air and workers’ health caused by paint spraying is mainly centres within the scope of station, parking and warranty shop, which shall not cause great influence to regional ambient air. If the measures above are taken, the impact of organic solvent vapour produced when repairing and spraying to ambient air can be accepted by the impact of ambient air.

(3)Impact of gas filling station in Xiangbin Road Hub Station on atmospheric environment

The east of existing gas filling station in Xiangbin Road Hub Station of this project is Hengxiangzhongshan residential area and the minimum distance is 350 m; and Zhongbeichuncheng Community is in the west with the minimum distance of 50 m; current old residential district is in the south with the minimum distance of 420 m and Branch of Haqi Hospital is in the north with the minimum distance of 270 m. Each standard and risk prevention measures of existing gas filling station in Xiangbin Road conform to the requirements of the environmental impact assessment (EIA). Existing gas filling station in Xiangbin Road is close to Zhongbeichuncheng Community and the distance is 50 m. Xiangbin Road passes between the gas filling station and Zhongbeichuncheng Community. All kinds of protection measures and fire fighting equipment of existing gas filling station can effectively control the production of risk such as explosion and combustion, and the width of buffer strip is enough. Existing gas filling station of this project has little effect on atmospheric environment.

7.2.4 Ambient Air Impact and Assessment Conclusion

After completion of project, motor vehicle exhaust will bring certain influence to air environment belt along the road with increase of traffic volume. While, when analysis from the whole regional environment of Harbin, since the proposed project can improve the traffic congestion of Harbin, with the increase of vehicle speed, total amount of discharge of pollutants in vehicle exhaust will certainly be reduced, and will change the distribution of vehicle discharge in urban area. With the increase of vehicle exhaust pollutants along the proposed project, vehicle pollution of other roads will be reduced due to project shunting. And the vehicle exhaust can be relieved by strengthening of vehicle design, development of manufacturing technology and constant using of clean energy. In general, the impact of vehicle exhaust to quality of ambient air along road during operation period is relatively small, and can be accepted by external environment.
