3 General
3.1 Basic tasks
The basic tasks of the environmental impact assessment of photovoltaic power
stations include: invest and assess the environmental status; predict and assess the
possible direct and indirect impacts of photovoltaic power stations on the environment;
propose environmental protection measures and countermeasures; and provide the
scientific basis for the decision-making of the location of photovoltaic power stations,
engineering design and environmental management.
The environmental impact factors that may be involved in the construction period of
photovoltaic power stations include ambient air, surface water, groundwater, acoustic
environment, solid waste, ecological environment, and soil erosion, etc. The
environmental impact factors that may be involved in the operation period include
acoustic environment, solid waste, surface water, light environment, and
electromagnetic environment, etc.; the environmental impact factors that may be
involved in photovoltaic power stations after the service period expires include solid
waste, ecological environment, etc.
The identification of environmental impact factors may adopt expert judgment method,
matrix method and other qualitative analysis methods.
3.3.2 Assessment factor screening
According to the identification results of environmental impact factors, combined with
the regional environmental function requirements and the determined environmental
protection goals, screen and determine the assessment factors. Assessment factors
shall focus on environmental constraints.
3.4 Environmental impact assessment scale and assessment period
3.4.1 Assessment scale
The assessment scale of the newly-constructed photovoltaic power station is based
on the current capacity; and the planned capacity is also explained. The expansion
and reconstruction of photovoltaic power stations shall be carried out according to the
scale after completion of the expansion and reconstruction.
3.4.2 Assessment period
It includes three periods, such as the construction period, the operation period, and
the service expiration period.
3.5 Working grade, assessment range and implementation standards of the
environmental impact assessment
3.5.1 Classification of assessment work
Environmental factors such as ambient air, surface water, and groundwater may only
be analysed briefly; the environmental impact assessment work level of environmental
factors such as acoustic environment and ecological environment is determined by HJ
2.4 and HJ 19.
3.5.2 Assessment range
The environmental impact assessment range of environmental elements such as
acoustic environment and ecological environment is determined by the corresponding
demolition and resettlement; technical and economic indicators; design service life, etc.
4.1.2 “Three construction sites” (borrow site, spoil site, material stacking and assembly
site) during the construction period, main construction materials, construction methods,
earth-rock work volume, etc.
4.1.3 The number of operating personnel, operation and maintenance methods during
operation period.
4.1.4 For expansion and reconstruction projects, the basic information of the existing
project's capacity, equipment overview, process flow, and general layout should be
given.
4.2 Project analysis
4.2.1 Analyse the main pollution-producing links of the construction project during the
construction period, operation period and service expiration period. For quantifiable
environmental impact factors, the intensity of pollution sources shall be estimated.
4.2.2 For expansion and reconstruction projects, the pollution discharge and
compliance status of the existing projects, the existing environmental protection
problems and the rectification measures to be taken shall be explained.
5 Investigation and Assessment of Environmental
Status
5.1 Principles of investigation and assessment
5.1.1 The investigation and assessment of the environmental status of photovoltaic
power stations shall follow the principle of combining data collection and on-site
investigation.
5.1.2 The depth of the investigation and assessment of the environmental status of the
photovoltaic power station shall meet the requirements of the corresponding
environmental impact assessment work level. When the existing data cannot meet the
requirements, on-site monitoring shall be organized.
5.2 Investigation range
5.2.1 Basic requirements
The scope of the investigation and assessment of the environmental protection of the
photovoltaic power station is based on the principle that it can explain the basic
conditions of the surrounding environment of the photovoltaic power station, and shall
meet the requirements of environmental impact prediction and assessment.
5.3.6 Investigation of ecological environment and soil erosion status
5.3.6.1 Collect information on the nature of the land, vegetation types and distribution,
and animal species in the area where the project is located; and understand whether
there are any animals and plants that need special protection. If necessary, conduct
an on-site investigation.
5.3.6.2 The current status of soil erosion in the area where the project is located.
5.3.7 Monitoring of electromagnetic environment status
Photovoltaic power stations with an output voltage level of 110kV and above shall carry
out current monitoring of the power frequency electric field and power frequency
magnetic field of the environmental protection targets around the site and wit...
