I. INTRODUCTION

A. Report Purpose and Rationale

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been established as anindispensable part of Environmental Impact Assessment Report, proposing appropriate mitigation measures and institutional arrangements for all phases of the Project to monitor and ensure (i) compliance with environmental regulations; and (ii) implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. To ensure continuous improvement of environmental performance during project preparation, construction and operation,the borrower/client is required to prepare semi-annual environment monitoring and progress reports that describe progress of EMP implementation, status of environmental compliance and implemented corrective actions.This is the No.6 semi-annual environmental monitoring report developed for the GSCDP.

B. Project Composition and Implementation Progress

The Guangxi Southwestern Cities Development Project is intended to improve livingconditions in the three border cities of Fangchenggang, Chongzuo, and Baise in the GZAR, andenhance their ability to promote and benefit from regional cooperation. The project is estimated to cost a total of approximately $293.41 million, of which $150million will be financed by a loan from ADB and the rest from city government budgets anddomestic commercial loans. The project will be implemented over 5 years, between 2011 and2015. The closing date of this project is delayed for 1 year till the end of 2016, because that Fangchenggang and Chongzuo were not able to close on time. The proposed projectcomprises six components in the three cities, whose description and implementation progress (by June 2016)are detailed in the table below.

II. INSTITUTIONAL SETUP AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR EMP IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPERVISION

A. Institutional responsibilities for environmental management

To actively respond the requirements in Project Agreement, institutionally a vertical framework with 3 levels had been set up for the project environmentalmanagement, which is in full consistence with the description in the SEIA developed during project preparation in February 2010:

Level 1: GPMO, which isestablished under the executingagency, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government (GZARG), is locatedin the GZAR Development and Reform Commission (GDRC), and is headed by thedirector general of GDRC. GPMO draws its members from GDRC, GZAR Finance Department,GEPD, and GZAR Land Resources Bureau. The GPMO has set up an Environment Management Unit (EMU) since the beginning of the project, with 1 dedicated staff in order totake its overall responsibility for supervising EMP implementation and reporting toADB.

Level 2: PICs (POCs for operation phase), which havenominated 1~2 employees each in charge of EMP implementation, reporting to GPMO periodically.

Level 3: Contractors/Supervisors, which have nominated 1~2 full-time staff in charge of daily environment management, reporting to PICs periodically during construction.

Besides abovementioned three levels, GEPD and city EPBs also organize on-site inspection, supervise thefulfillment and effectiveness of environment protection measures, and provide comments and recommendations regularly or from time to time.

It is known that the independent environmental monitor (IEM) (as part ofthe loan implementation consultancy engaged through international competitive bidding) willsoon be mobilized to support the GZARG, GPMO, PICs and POCs in EMP implementation (carrying out training program and preparing semiannual EMP progress reports).

The following figure summarizes the institutional structure/relationship of various agencies involved in EMP implementation and their specific responsibilities.

With the implementation of mitigation measures listed above, no significant environmental impact has been resulted from project implementation so far. By the end of this reporting period, the implemented individual EMPs are considered effective and satisfactory.

B. Observations Specific to Each Component during Site Inspection

1. Component F1 and F2: Urban Road Network and Related Municipal Infrastructure for Fangchenggang City,and coastal protection and upgrading

In the reported period, together with road construction, Fangchenggang subcomponent PMOs, contractors and supervising agencies implemented mitigation measures regulated in the environmental management plan for Fangchenggang road network and its infrastructure construction, such as construction time control, dust removal by watering and strengthening of safety management, reducing environmental impact caused by the subcomponent construction. Most of the mitigation measures were implemented efficiently during construction, such as campsite management in Anbujiang Bridge. It was observed that there ispotential safety risk on construction site at 2# Road. Following mitigation measure was suggested: (a) all electricity facilities should be secured in closed boxes and (b) the wires should be protected by rubbercovers. Fangchenggang IA signed a contract with Nanning Xiwan Monitoring Co., Guangxi, which carried out monitoring of air quality, sea water quality and noise level for the road subcomponent and the coastal dyke subcomponent. In the reporting period, Nanning Xiwan Monitoring Co., Guangxi carried out the monitoring activities in the reported period, the result indicates no environmental accident or complaint occurred in the implementation.

2. Component C1 and C2: urban road network and related municipal infrastructure

for Chongzuo City, andShuikou Lake environmental improvement

Overall, the subcomponent of Chongzuo progressed smoothly. Under the subcomponent of road network and its infrastructure construction, 101.0% completed for Chengnan 9th Road (Note: Completion Percentage of Chengnan 9

th Road and Liancheng Road is over 100% due to the contract variation which lead to

the increase of construction work amount. The contract amount has not been updated as the variation has not been approved.), 100.0% completed for Shijinglin Road, 67% completed for Beiwei 2nd Road and Zhongyi Road and 93% completed for Shuikou Lake subcomponent. With subcomponent activities, MPMO and contractors and construction supervision units seriously conducted mitigation measures in project environmental management plan. Net cages have been cleared, and most of the cofferdam has been removed. Good wetland ecosystem has been built with project intervention. However potential safety issue for local residents and unclear environmental management system establishment still exist. Required actions were identified as following: (i) Chongzuo PMO should collect information about the environmental monitoring equipment installation and maintenance under the loan, responsibilities should be clearly setup for each stakeholders; (ii) warning and information boards should be set to avoid unauthorized fishing and swimming activities by local residents to ensure their safety; (iii) During operational period, Jiangnan Street Committee will be responsible for the maintenance of Shuikou Lake. Clearly operational guidance should be prepared on environment management; and ( ) Garbage at certain parts of the construction site should be cleaned and dumped in time to keep city area clean and tidy. The Chongzuo IA had commissioned Chongzuo environmental monitoring station for monitoring the construction of two subcomponents for air, noise and water quality monthly. The result of environmental monitoring reaches the standard except for the total nitrogen of the surface water (the total nitrogen exceeding the standard is due to the higher background value instead of project implementation). By the end of the reported period, no environmental accident or complaint occurred in the implementation.

Project completion environmental performance review found that all of the environmental mitigation measures in the EIA report proposed, involving drainage and sewage treatment, noise control, air pollution control, transplant& protection of ancient trees, landscaping and soil conservation has been implemented in the construction process, with a total investment of (approximately 1.31% of the total project investment) 5.19 million yuan. Environmental monitoring results are fully in line with the applicable national standards.Resettlement compensation of the project has been completed. Implementation of the project has not received any environmental complaints. Consultants have reminded implementation party to start the operations of the environmental management plan since January 2015.

4. Component B2: Longwang Bridge for Baise City

B1 subcomponent construction was completed in June 2014, in September 2014 the project completed environmental acceptance. Project completion environmental performance review found that all of the specific environmental projects in the EIA report proposed mitigation measures, involving drainage &sewage treatment, noise control, air pollution control, migration and the protection of trees, landscaping and soil conservation have been implemented in the construction process, with a total investment of (approximately 1.86% of the total project investment) 3.51 million yuan. Environmental monitoring results are fully in line with the applicable national standards. Resettlement compensation of the project has been completed. Implementation of the project has not received any environmental complaints. Consultants have reminded implementation party to start the operations of the environmental management plan since January 2015.

V. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

A. Monitoring plan and responsibilities

The environmental monitoring programs developed as part ofSEIA and individual EMPs (as summarized in the table below) have been implemented by PICs in order to evaluate the:

(i) extent and severity of environmental impacts; (ii) compliance with related rules and regulations; and (iii) overall effectiveness of the Project EMP with actions taken as necessary based on the monitoring

results.

The monitoring has been implemented by following the methodology provided in the national standard for monitoring environmental indicators and pollutants.Considering current project progress, the monitoringprograms for each ongoing component are limited to the internal monitoring implementedby EMCs during construction phase.

VIII. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

In terms of environmental management, the Urban Road Network and Related Municipal Infrastructure for Fangchenggang City: Most of the mitigation measures were implemented efficiently in 1#, 2#, 3# roads, and Anbujiang Bridge construction sites. It was observed that there has potential safety risk on construction site at 2# Road. Following mitigation measure was suggested: (a) all electricity facilities should be secured in closed boxes and (b) the wires should be protected by enough covers.

Chongzuo component: Urban Road Network and Related Municipal Infrastructure for Chongzuo City: No significant environmental issues were observed. To avoid potential impact on air quality, it is suggested to cover the construction materials at project sites. Shuikou Lake Environmental Improvement for Chongzuo City: Net cages have been cleared, and good wetland ecosystem has been built with project intervention. But there have potential safety issue for local residents and unclear environmental management system establishment. It is suggested protection and warning facilities be set and clear environment management system be established. Garbage at certain parts of the construction site should be cleaned and dumped in time to keep city area clean and tidy.

Baise component: Currently two subcomponents are completed and have come into the operational stage. But the monitoring based on environmental management plan in the operation stage for these two subcomponents is not completely in place. During the operation of the project, air quality monitoring was conducted based on the requirement of environmental management plan, which showed good air quality in general. Continuous monitoring on different environmental parameters should be reinforced to make sure that environmental management plan is implemented effectively.

IX. CONCLUSION

The environmental reports from the PICs of ongoing components during this reporting period have shown that the component EMPs developed during project preparation have been well implemented in the following aspect:

- Mitigation measures have been implemented based on component progress with satisfactory effectiveness;

- The results of environmental monitoring implemented during this reporting period for the two ongoing components (F1, F2) also show general compliance with applicable Chinese standards.For F1, the reactive phosphate content of F1 in the reporting period is, and according to the local environmental protection bureau, it is because the baseline of water quality, but not influenced by the project.

- For C1 and C2, Chongzuo Environmental Monitoring Agency monitored air quality, noise and surface water quality of C1 and C2 area. In general all the parameters were in compliance with Chinese government standards except for the concentration of total nitrogen in surface water. According to local environmental protection bureau, it is because of environmental background value of local water quality, which means it was not affected by the conduction of the project. No complaintwas received during the implement of C1 and C2 from January to June, 2016. No environmental accident occurred during this period of time.

- Both public consultation program and institutional strengthening and training program have been well implemented as scheduled so far.

- The results of environmental monitoring implemented during this reporting period for the two ongoing components (B1, B2) also show general compliance with applicable Chinese standards.

For next step, based on current achievements, the focus should be tracking the environmental mitigation measures. Shuikou Lake Environmental Improvement for Chongzuo City: Required actions were identified as following: (i) Chongzuo PMO should collect information about the environmental monitoring equipment installation and maintenance under the loan, responsibilities should be clearly setup for each stakeholders; (ii) warning and information boards should be set to avoid unauthorized fishing and swimming activities by local residents to ensure their safety; and (iii) During operational period, Jiangnan Street Committee will be responsible for the maintenance of Shuikou Lake. Clearly operational guidance should be prepared on environment management.
