Noise impact Noise will be generated from vehicular movements, sand and aggregate<br />

processing, concrete mixing, excavation machinery, construction noise and<br />

blasting. Residents in a few villages nearby construction sites may affected<br />

by the noise during construction. Mitigation measures include using low<br />

noise machinery and no construction activities are allowed within 200 m of<br />

residential area during night. Mitigation measures for noise impact on<br />

construction workers will include standard occupational health and safety<br />

practices.<br />

B. Operation Phase<br />

Wastewater disposal It is estimated about 201, 305, and 670 tones of wastewater will be<br />

generated daily in SQBG, SARC and HSDCC, respectively. Three<br />

wastewater treatment plants will be built in the three tourism attractions to<br />

treat the wastewater collected by the sewer system within their territory.<br />

Septic tanks and land treatment will be used to treat the wastewater from<br />

the areas where sewer system is not available. Bio-toilets will be used in the<br />

tour sites.<br />

Noise impact Noise will be generated from parking lots, internal shuttle buses, cable-cars<br />

and occasionally from the helicopter. Mitigation measures will include: (1)<br />

using low noise, low emission tour buses (2) taking noise reduction<br />

measures, where required, to reduce the noise level to meet the national<br />

standards.<br />

Solid waste disposal Domestic waste will be generated at 1.17 t/d, 2.9 t/d and 7 t/d in SQBG,<br />

SARC and HSDCC, respectively. Domestic waste will be collected<br />

separately and stored in a depot in Dianzhen, and it will be transferred to<br />

and treated (including recycle, reuse) in a designated site by the municipal<br />

sanitation authority.<br />

Tour sites Operation IAs/EMUs EMUs<br />

High volume of tourists may cause disturbance of flora and fauna along the<br />

tour routes. The preventative measures include warning signs, conducting<br />

environmental awareness educational programs (videos, brochures, tour<br />

guiding) at the main entrance, as well as building necessary protective<br />

fences.<br />
