2. Integrated Analysis and Planning

The Anhui Development and Reform Commission has prepared a comprehensive master plan for reducing water pollution that not only covers conventional environmental engineering strategies, but seeks also to influence regional development strategies, industrial restructuring, urban development planning, integration of urban and rural areas, and other macro-level planning activities. In this sense, it differs significantly from most plans developed elsewhere in the PRC, and is the most comprehensive and ambitious environmental plan yet seen. What remains to be seen is whether the plans will attract financing and whether the newly established CLMA will be able to fully exercise its mandate.

The implementation period for the plan extends through to 2020. A total of 329 investment projects were identified—with an equivalent investment value of CNY46.1 billion ($7.3 billion). Individual investment proposals to implement the plan would be selected for inclusion in the successive five-year plans.

Recognizing the natural and man-made sensitivities of the lake, the plan includes a schedule of progressively ambitious goals (Appendix 2). The ultimate objectives are to achieve complete coordination between economic and environmental goals, substantially improve water quality in the lake and surrounding rivers, and reestablish the lake’s natural landscape and a good ecological environment. The master plan set time-based targets for 2010 (end of the 11th Five-Year Plan), 2012 (near term), and 2020 (long term).28
