urban area and will not cause any impact to wild animals and their habitats. Two hills (Huangtuling and Mulingdong) are beside Huancheng Xilu, which are small hills and locate in the core urban area. The west sides of the two hills have been separated with the other hills by the built Provincial Highway 71. According to the survey results, the wild animals in the hills include swallow, sparrow, hare, field mouse, frog, toad, and snake, etc., but no passageways of rare and endangered wild animals or large wide animals. To sum up, the project construction will cause less impact on the animals and their habitats. The social environment impacts during construction period are cited from the Social Impact Report for the project, most of which are negative, being reflected in the aspects of land acquisition, resettlement, interruptions to residents' daily transportion and travel, etc., for which main conclusions are below. 1) the permanent land requisition area of the project is 347mu or 23 ha.; the area of to be demolished is about 2764 m2; the area of rural housing to be demolished is about 2000 m2 (10 houses, all in Lixin Village on Baohai Lu). The economic incomes and livelihood modes of these affected households will all be impacted to different extents. Mitigation measures: To reduce the risk of land acquisition and occupation: in the project design and implementation, to avoid land acquisition and temporary occupation as far as possible; to provide project-affected people with compensation in full amount; To take measures of recovering their incomes and livelihoods: To ensure that the project affected people can participate in the detailed construction design in order to minimized the number of people to be resettled; the resettlement activities shall be conducted in combination with technical and skill training sponsored by the local governments; compensation shall be paid for permanent land acquisition in accordance with the national laws and regulations as well as policies of governments at different levels. 2) Because a large number of constructional vehicles and machines will enter construction areas, which may bring about impacts to neighboring pedestrians' trips, and certain potential safety hazards to them; during the public space retrofit, the construction activities may affect customers' access, which will influence the normal operation of shops along streets. Mitigation measures: PIAs and contractors shall contact traffic police agencies prior to construction, to prepare traffic organization solutions for the construction period; (2) before construction, publicity shall be conducted well, construction information disclosed in advance
