Table 3.3-2 Typical Construction Contents
Generic DesignThe environmental facilities to be built in the component sites take a generic design approach that follows the criteria below: Have adapted to local conditions Have been proven in operation Represent the least cost option Comply with environmental standards A. Solid Waste Collection and Transfer Facility The municipal solid waste will be collected from garbage bins placed at tourism facilities and areas. The local environmental sanitation team will be responsible for collecting the solid waste from the bins and moving it to the transferring stations (which will be constructed during the project) on a regular basis. The collection station consists of concrete tanks lined with cement and a loading area for truck access, which will provide the space for large vehicles to begin hauling solid waste to the county landfill facility. The size of the tanks is designed based on the expected quantity of visitors. B. Public Toilets Water-flushing toilets will be used. These comprise a water storage system and septic tanks. The waste collected in the septic tanks is generally collected either by the local sanitation team or by farmers, who use them for compost and (subsequently) for agricultural applications. C. Sewage Collection and Treatment Facility Domestic wastewater will be collected at the wastewater treatment station via open ditches. As in the rural regions of the project area, industrial wastewater flow is virtually negligible, since the wastewater is low in COD but high in NH3-N. Thus, there is no concern over industrial hazardous constituents in the water flow; a simple land treatment system is used to treat the wastewater to maintain standards. Each wastewater treatment station consists of the primary treatment units and an overflow system, but not followed on by disinfection units. The wastewater is initially settled in a retarding pond to reduce the load of SS, and then it is introduced to a vegetated land and is allowed to flow very slowly down the vegetated slope and collected in a ditch. Retention time of the wastewater generation is from 10 days to 15 days. To eliminate nitrogen from the flow, the vegetation will be harvested each year. D. Parking lot Car parking lots will be provided in the peripheral area of each component site. As the project is largely on a karst landform (which is low in ecological vulnerability but still sensitive to land disturbance), the car parking yards are paved with porous materials that allow for vegetative establishment, rather than the asphalt that is used in conventional parking lots. Landscape and visual considerations have been factored into the design of the car parks; open spaces nearby are preserved for planting trees. E. Riverbed cleaning The improvement of the river (which runs 4.8 km) includes sediment dredging, embankment by stones and rocks, pedestrian pathways, and lights. Typical and Special WorksAlthough the works under the project vary in size and location, they can be classified into several groups; an example from each group is summarized below. A. Solid Waste Collection Station One of the examples for solid waste collection stations is to be constructed under the Tianlong Fortress component. This component is located in the scenic area of Tianlong fortress. There are 2548 local residents and each one will produce 1.2kg garbage per day. The tourists are projected to reach 3000 people/day in the area and each one will produce 0.5kg solid waste per day. The total amount of solid waste generated per day will be 4t. About 80 garbage bins will be distributed around the village, and they will take up a total area of 80 m2. Two solid waste transfer stations will be constructed adjacent to the main entrances of Tianlong Fortress Scenic Area; each station will have an area of 100m2. The stations will collect 40m3 of garbage in the scenic area in their service area of 3 km2. The architectural design of the two stations has taken into account the surrounding environment and the traditional style of other buildings. Figure 3.3-6 below shows the layout and image of the transfer station. Figure 3.3-6 Solid Waste Collection Station B. Public Toilet One of the examples for public toilet construction is in Nachan village. The design of public toilets follows the Urban Public Toilet Planning and Design Standards. The construction of the toilets will use local materials and remain consistent with the local architectural style. The newly constructed public toilets will meet the increased demand of the whole scenic area. The toilets will be managed by the local government. The toilets are located on nationally-owned or collectively-owned unused land and do not involve resettlement or building demolishment. Figure 3.3-7 shows the layout and image of these public toilets. Figure 3.3-7 Public Toilets C. Sewage Treatment Station One of the examples for sewage treatment stations is in the Wanfenglin National Scenic Area. The capacity of the treatment station is based on the water demand projection and the conversion ratio into wastewater. Table 3.3-3 summarizes the design criteria for the wastewater treatment station.
The sewage treatment station will be located downstream along the river and on the leeward side of the residential area. The location features desirable geological conditions, flood protection, convenience of sewage collection/conveyance/discharge, as well as good water and electricity supply. There will be an adequate area for an extension of the station in the future. D. Museum One of the examples for museums is the Guizhou Dragon Fossil Museum in Xingyi National Geo-Park. The design of the museum follows the General Specifications of Civil Structure Design, Office Structure Design Specifications, Museum Design Specifications, Cultural Center Design Specifications, Village Structure Fire Protection Design Specifications, Urban Road and Structure Barrier-free Design Specifications, Public Structure Energy-saving Design Standards, and so on. The main function of museums is to promote scientific awareness. This is a newly constructed middle-size museum. The museum is a 2 floor structure with a height of 12m and a floor area of 4,100m2. The planting and paving area is 1,500m2. The architecture is consistent with the local style. This museum will be located on nationally-owned unused land, and does not require resettlement of people. Picture 3.3-8 shows the image and layout of the museum. Figure 3.3-8 Guizhou Dragon Fossil Museum E. Tourist information Centers One of the examples for tourist information centers is the information center in the Wanfenglin National Scenic Area. The main functions of tourist information centers are tourism consultation, food services, conferences, resting areas, shopping and entertainment.. The design follows the General Clauses of Civil Structure Design, Office Structure Design Specifications, Hotel Design Specifications, Shop Design Specifications, Intelligent Structure Design Specifications, Structure Fire Protection Design Specifications, Urban Road and Structure Barrier-free Design Specifications, Public Structure Energy-saving Design Standards, and so on. The construction of the tourist information centers will use local materials and remain consistent with the local architectural style. The newly constructed tourist information centers can meet the service requirement for the whole scenic area. The center will be located on nationally-owned or collectively-owned unused land and does not involve relocation of people or building demolition. Figure 3.3-9 shows the layout and image of the museum. Figure 3.3-9 Wanfenglin Tourist Information Center F. Parking Lot One of the examples for parking lots is in the Guanling National Geo-Park. The design of parking lot follows the Garage and Car Park Fire Protection Design Specifications with local ecological and landscape style. The ground is paved with porous materials and the area nearby is planted with flowers and trees. The car parks will be located on nationally-owned or collective-owned unused land and do not involve relocation of people or building demolition. The parking lot is located at the entrance of the Guanlin Fossil National Geologic Park; it features facilities for gasoline-powered cars and for the battery-powered cars used in the park itself. The area of the car park is 5000m2. Figure 3.3-9 shows the layout and image of the parking lot. Figure 3.3-9 Parking Lot for the Guanling National Geo-Park. G. River cleaning One of the examples for river cleaning programs is the component of Nahui River pathway construction and river bank regulation. The river cleaning program here will pave the river banks with a soft impermeable layer and also encourage vegetation. Figure 3.3-10 shows the design layout of the cleaning works. Figure3.3-10 Nahui River Cleaning Works H. Traditional House Repair Two of the examples for Traditional House Repair are at Tianlong Fortress and Jiuzhou Fortress components. The repair of traditional houses follows the General Specifications of Civil Structure Design, Structure Fire Protection Design Specifications, Urban Road and Structure Barrier-free Design Specifications, Public Structure Energy-saving Design Standards, House Design Specifications and the local traditional architecture style. These kinds of repairs target traditional houses and public buildings that are highlighted in the conservation plan approved by the relevant cultural heritage agencies. Figure 3.3-11 and 3.3-12 shows the image of the traditional house before repair and after repair respectively. Figure 3.3-11 Traditional House Repair in Tianlong Fortress Figure 3.3-12 Traditional House Repair in Jiuzhou Fortress I. Water Supply One of the examples for water supply facility is at Jiuzhou fortress. The design of the water supply facilities follows the Outdoor Drainage Design Specification, Construction and Acceptance Specification of Water Supply and Drainage Pipeline, Water Quality Standards of Sewage Discharged into the City Sewer, etc. The layout of pipelines is designed based on technical and financial analysis. The specific criteria for pipeline designs are: The pipeline system should be designed to match the drainage capability in the long run, since each associated facility will be completed step by step. Make full use of the existing drainage systems along the roads and rivers. The layout of pipeline should be adapted to the landscape. The pipeline should be as straight as possible and deeply buried. The above construction principles take the regional environment into consideration and will minimize the environmental impacts of the sub-project items.
