1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. As of September 2021, total of nine subprojects of Yunnan Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone Development Project (the Project) were under construction, namely Nanting River Bridge and Access Road Subproject (C-RD04), Qingshuihe No.1 Road (C-RD01a), No. 2 Road (C-RD02) and No. 6 Road (C-RD02-1), Qingshuihe Guomen Elementary School Upgrading (C-SS05), International Production Capacity Phase I (C-ICA01), Zhenkang Hospital (C-SS01), Water Supply (C-ENV01) and river rehabilitation (C-ENV04). C-RD02 and C-RD02-have passed the completion acceptance inspection. For the C-ICA01, the dynamic compaction scheme has not been determined yet, no construction activity in this reporting period. The construction of water supply subproject and river rehabilitation subproject was mobilized at the end of this reporting period. Zhenkang Hospital had no major civil construction activities during this period as the high voltage corridor on site was not relocated yet. Therefore, monitoring during this period is mainly focused on the Nanting River Bridge and access road subproject(C-RD04), Qingshuihe Road No. 1 (C-RD01a) and Qingshuihe Guomen Elementary School Upgrading (C-SS05). 2. From the establishment of the GRM mechanism to the end of September 2021, the project management office, the contractors and construction supervision company of the nine subprojects under construction have not received any environment-related complaint or comments. 3. From August to September 2021, the external monitoring unit Yunnan Kunfa Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. organised air quality, water environment, sound environment and ecological monitoring. All monitoring indicators met the corresponding standards, except for the dissolved oxygen at upstream and downstream of the Nanting River Bridge, which did not meet the standards. The non-compliance was mainly due to high temperatures during the monitoring period, not construction activities. During the ecological survey, a second-class protected tree was found near the construction access road of the Nanting Bridge, and it was suggested that the construction unit should set up a fence for protection. The planting plan for the Qingshui River rehabilitation is not diversified and the gerbera (Cosmos bipinnata) is an invasive alien species. In order to protect the local terrestrial ecological environment, it is recommended to use native species if possible. 4. Overall, the environmental management work in the third quarter of 2021 is progressing Training on the implementation of the environmental management plan for the all contractors and construction supervision companies under construction is scheduled on 19 October 2021.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Report Purpose and Rational 5. As required by the EIA & PA for the Yunnan Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone Development Project (YLBECZDP), the borrower is required to prepare quarterly EMRs for submission to the ADB. There is an inconsistency between PAM and the PA regarding the frequency of the EMR that should be prepared and submitted to ADB. The PAM requires the EMR to be submitted on a semi-annual basis, while the PA requires the EMR to be prepared and submitted on a quarterly basis. Hence, the LPMO decided that quarterly EMR shall be prepared and submitted to ADB as required in the PA. 6. This report is prepared by the Lincang Project Management Office (LPMO), with assistance from the LIEC, China Urban Construction Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd (CUCD). Environmental monitoring reports (EMRs) are required in order to evaluate and assess overall project activities to ensure the effective implementation of the environmental management plan (EMP). 7. The purpose of this Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR) is to document environmental management activities undertaken and environmental impacts as a result of project implementation, as well as identifying issues and suggesting corrective actions. This environmental monitoring report is the seventh quarterly EMR, covering the period from July to September 2021. 8. This seventh quarterly EMR is intended not only to cover the construction phase, but also demonstrate compliance with the EMP for the design, bidding, construction preparation stages and physical construction phase. In line with targets aimed at reducing any negative environmental impacts of the Project, and in accordance with relevant specifications and standards of the PRC, and policies of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), this report emphasizes the following areas: (i) progress made in implementing the EMP, (ii) implementation of mitigation measures, (iii) environmental monitoring and compliance, (iv) Grievance redress mechanism,(v) institutional strengthening and training, and (vi) problems that have occurred and corrective actions taken.

2.2 Project Objective and Components 9. The objective of the Project is that the competitiveness of urban centers, logistics and industrial parks, and land ports in the project counties and LBECZ be enhanced. 10.

3.0 INSTITUTIONAL SETUP AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPERVISION

3.1 Institutional Responsibilities for Environmental Management 19. The Lincang Municipal Government (LMG) is the Executive Agency (EA) of the project. As the EA, LMG is responsible for communication with ADB, loan repayment, as well as supervision and guidance of the LPMO and the Project Implementation Units (PIUs) for project implementation in three project counties. Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone (LBECZ), Cangyuan Wa County Government (CCG), and Zhenkang County Government (ZCG) are the project implementing agencies. 20. At the Prefecture level, LMG has established a project leading group (PLG), comprising members from concerned government agencies to facilitate the government interagency coordination for the project preparation and implementation. The PLG is headed by the mayor of LMG and with representatives from Lincang Municipal Finance Bureau, Lincang Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and other key bureaus of Lincang municipality. 21. However, LMG has largely delegated this role to the Management Committee of the Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Development Zone (LBECZ) where the majority of the project components are located. A project management office (PMO) has therefore been established within the LBECZ Management Committee, headed by the director, with staff from other units and offices of LBECZ. The PMO will be responsible in providing overall guidance, supervision, coordination, and management support for project preparation and implementation on behalf of LMG. In CCG and ZCG, a PLG has been established, headed by the implementing agency government head, for government interagency coordination and leadership during project preparation and implementation. In each of the implementing agency, a project implementation unit (PIU) has been established for interagency coordination, and management and implementation of its components. For LBECZ, the project PMO will also serve as the PIU for its components. 22. CCG implements the Cangyuan Guomen No. 2 Elementary School subproject, whilst ZCG implements the PRC–Myanmar Friendship Hospital subproject. All other physical subprojects are implemented by LBECZ, which also implements the capacity building component of the Project (as defined as output 4 of the project scope). LPMO is also responsible for engaging specialist domestic service providers such as design institutes needed to implement the project, although each PIU will appoint its own internal environmental monitoring services. At this time, there is one designated person, Environmental Management Coordinator (Mr. Li Hailiang) in the LPMO, responsible for the implementation of EMP and preparation of EMRs. This Environmental Management Coordinator will also be responsible for coordinating the environmental management activities in the PIUs at LBECZ. The environmental management coordinators in the PIUs at CYC & ZKC were not nominated right now. 23. The Project’s institutional structure of environmental management is shown in Figure 3.1.

24. Institutional responsibilities for EMP implementation have been covered in the updated EMP. Roles and responsibilities for major tasks assigned to EA, PLG, LPMO, ADB and IA were listed in the table 2-1 of updated EMP.

3.2 Incorporation of Environmental Requirements into Project Contractual Arrangements 25. CUCD has advised the LPMOs and PIUs that the content of the specific EMP documents must be fully incorporated into all bid documents and in the actual contract agreements to be signed with respective parties. It is also of critical importance that the bid prices from potential contractors, CSCs and EMS or certified environmental entity have taken into consideration of EMP requirements and the cost for EMP implementation is fully included in the total contract prices. 26. By the end of September 2021, LPMO has signed nine civil contract packages. The requirements for EMP implementation and specific tasks and mitigation measures were included in the five bid documents.

45. Surface Water Quality. The monitoring points for surface water include 100 m upstream of the C-RD04 construction bridge section (control section) and 500 m downstream of the C-RD04 construction bridge section. From the monitoring data of Yunnan Kunfa Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. for three consecutive days from August 13 to August 15, 2021, the monitoring data of both upstream and downstream of the C-RD04 construction bridge


59

section of the Nanting River met the Class III standard of the Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002) except for dissolved oxygen, and the exceedance of dissolved oxygen was not obvious. The main reason for the exceedance was due to the high temperature on the monitoring day.

6.3 Ecological monitoring 46. In September 2021, Yunnan Kunfa Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. organized ecological experts to conduct the third quarter ecological monitoring. The survey used several methods such as site survey, data collection, consultation with relevant departments and interviews with local residents. As the sub-projects involved in ecological monitoring were under construction at the time of the survey, only the Nanting River Bridge was under construction and the Qingshui River Rehabilitation subproject has design document, so this survey mainly conducted a detailed survey of the construction area of the Nanting River Bridge and the Qingshui River rehabilitation area, and a baseline survey for the remaining sub-projects. The main findings of the ecological survey are as follows.

(1) Flora: The natural vegetation within the construction area of the Nanting River Bridge consists of seasonal rainforests, oyster forests, and shrubs and grasses. The natural vegetation distributed within the construction area of the Qingshui River rehabilitation subproject is mainly sparse shrubby grasses.


60

A total of 114 families, 382 genera and 612 species of terrestrial vascular plants were identified in and around the construction area of Nanting River Bridge and Qingshui River rehabilitation, including: ferns, 17 families, 23 genera and 32 species (according to the Qin Renchang 1978 system); gymnosperms, 3 families, 4 genera and 5 species (according to the Zheng Wanjun system); angiosperms, 94 families, 355 genera and 575 species (according to the Hachinsong system). One Tetrameles nudiflora is distributed along the right bank of the downstream haul road in the construction area of the Nanting River Bridge, which is a national Grade II protected plant. According to the field monitoring, from January 2021 to April 2021, the construction of the Nanting River Bridge did not take up any over-extended area, the plant species surveyed remained unchanged, and the construction did not affect the plant resources and plant species. However, a Tetrameles nudiflora tree along the downstream transport road on the right bank has not been specially protected and is likely to be damaged by side slope runoff during the rainy season. It is recommended that the Tetrameles nudiflora tree be protected.

Figure 6-1No special protection for the protected tree beside the construction road

(2) Terrestrial vertebrates: According to the monitoring, 101 species, belonging to 21 orders, 48 families and 79 genera, have been investigated in and around the construction area of Nanting River Bridge and Qingshui River rehabilitation area. There are 8 species of national protected animals, namely Tylototriton verrucoosus, Milvus migrans, Falco tinnunculus, Accipiter nisus, Glaucidium cuculoides, Centropus sinensis, Felis cat, Glaucidium cuculoides, and Glaucidium cuculoides. Centropus sinensis, Felis bengalensis, and Prionodon pardicolor. based on comparative monitoring, the species of terrestrial vertebrates did not change during the construction of the Nanting River Bridge. With the increase in construction workers and human activity, the number of rodents, especially small rodents, in the survey area has increased; the number of the four protected raptor species has increased due to the increase in the number of rodent small rodents. The number of protected birds has also increased.

(3) Fish: According to the monitoring, 40 species of fish were surveyed in the construction area of the Nanting River Bridge sub-project, belonging to 28 genera in 11 families and 5 orders. The composition of fish species in the construction area did not change significantly from the


61

second quarter survey, and the number of fish caught in the river increased due to the flood season. Two orders, three families, five genera and five species of fish were found in the Qingshui River rehabilitation area. All were small fish common to the Nanting River basin.

(4) The Qingshui River water system management project occupies mainly rubber plantations, and the forest land occupied is mainly artificial teak forest, and no natural forest is involved. The occupation of the project will reduce the area of sparse shrubs and grasses, but the sparse shrubs and grasses are widely distributed around the project area, so it can be considered that the impact of the Qing Shui particular River system management project on the area and function of terrestrial vegetation is relatively small. The plant species selected for the plant design proposed in the preliminary design are relatively single, and gerbera (Autumn Ying Cosmos bipinnata) is an exotic species, and the project area is suitable for its growth, and has been listed as an invasive alien species, so it is recommended to use native species in order to protect the local terrestrial ecological environment. February orchid as a flower is an excellent landscape plant, but under the annual temperature conditions of the project construction area, it is extremely difficult to vernalize and bloom, and it is a one-year-old herbaceous plant, so it is difficult to carry out subsequent management and care, so it is recommended to use other species.

7.0 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM AND IMPLEMENTATION

47. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) has been established at PMO level. The GRM provided specific guidance and procedure in handling complaints from individuals living nearby the construction sites, groups or institutes influenced by the construction activities. Figure 7.1-1 illustrates GRM five steps and timeframe. 48. The Project Public Complaint Units (PPCU) was established in the PIU in LBECZ and GRM was developed to handle complaints from individuals, groups or institutes influenced by the construction activities on June 1st 2020. Cai Shengquan (菜胜泉) was nominated as the team leader in PPCU, and three members, Li Hailiang (李海量), Wu Peijun (吴沛军) and Bai Guangneng (白光能), were nominated. The contact information including name, phone number, address, and email was published to the public through website of LBECZ ( http://www.lincang.gov.cn/lcsrmzf/lcbjjjhzqglwyh/tztg38/529346/index.html see Figure 7.1-2). 49. The four contractors of C-RD04, C-RD02 & C-RD02-1 and C-SS05 set up GRM boards at the construction sites respectively; and the procedure of GRM and the contact information of PPCU was disclosed to the public (see Figure 7.1-3). C-RD01a has set up a public notice board, but it focuses more on the payment of workers and does not contain an environmental grievance channel. C-RD01a, C-SS01, C-ENV01, C-ENV04 and C-ICA01 will set up a special notice board for environmental grievance mechanism as required. 50. There has been no complaint received by the PPCUs and contractors in LBECZ since GRM established in Lingcang.

9.0 Issues and Corrective Actions

(1) Water environment 53. The monitoring data for three consecutive days from August 13, 2021 to August 13, 2021 show that the monitoring data for both the upper and lower reaches of the C-RD04 bridge section of the Nanting River meet the Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002) Class III standard except for dissolved oxygen, which was caused by high temperature at the day of sampling.

(2) Atmospheric environment 54. The monitoring results show that the concentration of pollutants at each monitoring point meets the Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095-2012) Class II standard, from August 10, 2021 to August 16, 2021. Road construction dust has a certain impact on the air environment along the route, and the air pollution mitigation measures proposed in the EIA should be implemented seriously, and the site should be sprinkled with water to reduce dust and covered with a tarp.

(3) Sound environment 55. The monitoring data from August 11, 2021 to August 14, 2021 at the monitoring points around the project construction site and sensitive points for two consecutive days at daytime and nighttime can meet the sound environment quality standard (GB3096-2008) class 2 and class 4a standards. The impact of the construction on surrounding residents is not significant. It is recommended that all contractors continue to strengthen the management of construction vehicles and reasonably allocate construction machinery activities to reduce sudden noise.

(4) Ecological environment 56. A second-class protected tree, along the transport road downstream of the right bank of the Nanting River Bridge is not specially protected and is susceptible to damage from side slope runoff during the rainy season. Protective fence is recommended. 57. The greening and restoration plant species selected for the preliminary design of the Qing Shui River rehabilitation is relatively single, and gerbera (Cosmos bipinnata) is an exotic species. The project area is suitable for its growth and it has been listed as an invasive alien species. I n order to protect the local terrestrial ecological environment, it is recommended to use other native species. Orychophragmus violaceu as a flower is an excellent landscape plant, but under the annual accumulation conditions of the project area, it is extremely difficult to vernalize and bloom, and it is a 1-year-old herbaceous plant, which is difficult to maintain subsequently. It is recommended to use the combination of trees, shrubs and grasses for landscape greening and revegetation, and the plants selected should be native species. (5) Grievance mechanism 1) C-ICA01 Contractor has no construction activity during this reporting period and shall

prepare a site environmental management plan and establish a grievance mechanism notice board prior to resuming construction.

2) C-RD01a was mobilized in May 2021 and it is required to install a notice board for the grievance mechanism as soon as possible.


69

(6) Capacity-building 58. The loan implementation environmental consultant plans to conduct environmental management training for all contractors and supervisors on October 19, 2021, especially providing training on the preparation of a construction site environmental management plan, installation of an environmental complaint response mechanism notice board at the construction site, and the implementation of appropriate environmental protection and mitigation measures.
