In the process of site selection, the design unit has taken the environmental status and the features of the construction items into consideration and recommended the most reasonable option for the construction sites in terms of environmental, financial and technical considerations.
Jiuzhou Fortress Museum
Option 1: The location is in the ancient house of Lu in the west street of Jiuzhou. The site is close to the street with good basic condition and better municipal infrastructure. The land occupation is only 2,720m2. The maintenance and repairs are limited to the original sites with less impact on the environment around.
Option 2: The location is in the southwest of Xiaotunshan. The regional foundation is good but without municipal infrastructure. The land occupation is 3,500m2 which involves farmland. It will have more impact on the environment.
Conclusion: From the perspective of environmental protection, it recommends the Option 1.

8.2.2 Xingyi Dingxiao Guizhou Dragon Museum
Option 1: The location is in the Luyin Village of Dingxiao Development District with the area of 10,000m2. It is in the front of Houlong Mountain and surrounded by hills with good vegetation. There are adequate spaces for the construction of associated facilities, such as parking lot which is far from residential area of the village.
Option 2: The location is at the foot of the hill in the east of Luyin Village which is very close to the village. The construction of the museum will cause more impacts on the village. The land area is not enough and it is not convenient for traffic. The landscape effect is also not severe.
Conclusion: From the consideration of impacts on landscape, vegetation, traffic, tourist quantity and the impact on nearby village, it recommends the Option 1.

8.2.3 Guizhou Normal College Tourism Information Center
Option 1: The plot A is located in the southwest of the campus and close to the north Baoshan Road, Jinzhu hotel, the main road of the campus and the living quarters of teacher. The plot is a vacant space with the total area of 6,000 m2. The scheme will occupy the eastern part of the plot with the area of 3,000 m2. The traffic condition is good and without houses demolition. The foundation is also good but the landform is concave there. Almost 70 percent of the public survey supports this option.
Option 2: The plot B is located in the center of the campus and close to the mess hall, auditorium, office district and the main road of the campus. It is the current school playground with the area of 3,000 m2 and there is an underground parking lot. The option will occupy an area of 2,500m2, and cause certain noises on the teachers and students during the construction phase, and the playground and parking lot will be removed. About 27 percent of a public survey supports this scheme.
Conclusion: From the perspective of environmental protection, it recommends the Option 1.

The EIA team has provided a number of suggestions on environmental protection for the selection and identification of the project in the process of project development:
A. Proposals for Projects Adjustment
In December 2006, the Guizhou Province Development and Reform Commission approved the proposal for the project. In April 2007, the experts of the World Bank requested the integration of the project and a decrease in the sub-projects because of the rationality and design depth problem of the proposal. The EIA unit analyzed the compatibility of the project with sensitive protection areas, laws and planning, and suggested to reject some components which were against the requirements of environmental protection. The outcome of the proposal for the project finally was integrated into 12 districts.
The details of the rejected components are listed in Table 8.4-1.
B. Joint research of EIA unit, Design Unit and SIA unit.
The EIA unit, DesignUunit and SIA unit have visited the project areas many times and consulted for the comments and the opinions of the World Bank experts and local relevant organizations/agencies from April to November in 2007.
The proposed revisions of EIA unit are list in the table 8.3-2.
C. Optimization and in-depth design
In December 2007, the World Bank delegation checked the first draft of the assessment report and gave some suggestions. After that, the World Bank Project Office organized the design units to investigate the construction sites in January 2008.
The proposed optimizations of EIA report are listed in Table 8.3-3.
