GRM will be addressed quickly and transparently, and without retribution to the affected person. Information Disclosure and Public Consultations The subborrower undertook one public consultation meeting in November 2, 2017. Meeting participants were asked to complete a questionnaire. A total of 25 questionnaires were distributed and 25 completed questionnaires were received. 40.0% of respondents indicated that the top environment issue was ambient air quality, 84% of respondents indicated that they concerned about the air pollution caused by the project, 100% of espondents indicated that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the mitigation measures of the project and 100% of respondents indicated that they supported the project. The subborrower will continue to conduct regular information disclosure and public consultation to communicate with beneficiaries and AP during the operations phase. Ongoing consultation will ensure that public concerns are understood and dealt with in a timely manner. implementation agency Elion Laiwu subcompany is responsible for operation and management of the project. EHS department of Elion Laiwu subcompany is responsible for environment protection and safety production of the project. Based on domestic EIA report and environment due diligence, the project has identified potential negative environment impacts and appropriately established mitigation measures. If the mitigation measures are well implemented and monitored, identified environmental impacts of the project will be reduced to an acceptable level. The project is environmentally feasible. Overall, Micro-fine Coal Atomization technology is used in the project to achieve district steam to the LHDZ. The project’s implementation will improve air quality in LHDZ and bring environmental and economic benefits for the development of LHDZ. POLICY, AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK This IEE has been prepared in accordance with both the PRC’s national and local environmental legal and institutional framework and environmental assessment

environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required although environmental implications need to be reviewed. Category FI. Proposed project involves the investment of ADB funds to, or through, a financial intermediary. The SPS 2009 requires a number of additional considerations, including: (i) project risk and respective mitigation measures and project assurances; (ii) grievance redress mechanism; (iii) definition of the project area of influence; (iv) physical cultural resources damage prevention analysis; (v) climate change mitigation and adaptation; (vi) occupational and community health and safety requirements (including emergency preparedness and response); (vii) economic displacement that is not part of land acquisition; (viii) biodiversity conservation and natural resources management requirements; (ix) provision of sufficient justification if local standards are used; (x) assurance of adequate consultation and participation; and (xi) assurance that the EMP includes an implementation schedule and measurable performance indicators.
