Special report: Reconstruction After Earthquake

MIANYANG/TANGJIASHAN, Sichuan, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Emergency workers are scrambling to get residents downstream of a rising quake-created lake ready to go if the water body bursts.

Tangjiashan lake, formed by landslides that blocked a river known as the Jianjiang after the May 12 quake, is at risk of breaching its bank.

Every resident from the targeted areas in Mianyang, a hard-hit city in the May 12 quake, has been kept well-informed of the emergency evacuation plans through repeated drills and public announcements, including routes for evacuation, directions to safe areas and locations of temporary shelters, said Tan Li, Party Secretary of Mianyang.

"The efforts are aimed at getting all the 1.3 million residents on the move within four hours in case the quake lake bank fully opens, and zero deaths in the process of evacuation. Otherwise, it will mean a breach of duty on our part as government employees," said Tan, who is also chief of Mianyang City Quake Control and Relief Headquarters.

To this end, many soldiers, armed police and security officers are on standby and will go door-to-door to look for laggards in case of emergency, according to Tan.

Meanwhile, hundreds of workers, using 40 large pieces of earth-moving equipment including bulldozers, have been working non-stop on top of the Tangjiashan barrier, constructing a diversion channel.

Yang Hailiang, a leading on-site rescue operation officer, told Xinhua that one third of the sluice was finished thanks to factors including fine weather on Wednesday and airlifts of machinery and other supplies.

Water resources workers have been closely monitoring hydrological data concerning Tangjiashan, one of 35 such lakes, around the clock.

The lake is some 3.2 kilometers away from the seat of Beichuan County, the area worst hit in the devastating quake on May 12. It is inaccessible by road and can only be reached by foot or air.

The lake holds about 130 million cubic meters of water, said Liu Ning, the Ministry of Water Resources chief engineer, who is at Tangjiashan to oversee the diversion work. Its water level was 727.02 meters on Tuesday, up 1.82 meters from Monday and only about 25 meters below the lowest part of the barrier.

However, the rise in the water level at the lake has slowed down. From 7 p.m. on Tuesday to 7 a.m. on Wednesday, it only rose by 83 centimeters, according to Yang Hailiang, a leading on-site rescue operation officer.

At least 50,000 cubic meters of debris would have to be removed to build the diversion channel on the blockage body. Rescuers, however, were aiming to remove 100,000 cubic meters of debris if the weather allowed.

Altogether, 158,000 people threatened by the swollen quake lake in 169 communities of 33 townships, Mianyang, were evacuated to safe ground as of Wednesday in line with an emergency plan drawn up for the contingency of one third of the Tangjiashan lake volume bursting its banks.

Two other plans require the relocation of 1.2 million people if half of the lake volume is released or 1.3 million if the barrier fully opens.

The diversion channel won't be in place until June 5, experts with the Mianyang quake relief headquarters said.

Trapped chemicals add to China's quake lake fears
<!-- BEGIN STORY BODY -->By Tyra Dempster 1 hour, 18 minutes ago


<!-- end storyhdr -->DUJIANGYAN, China (Reuters) - Five thousand metric tons of dangerous chemicals is adding to the mix of threats downstream from one of China's "quake lakes" in danger of bursting their banks, a newspaper said on Thursday.About 5,000 metric tons of chemicals, including sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, were trapped downstream from the Tangjiashan lake and had to be moved to safe ground, the Beijing News said, citing local environmental authorities.


China has evacuated more than 150,000 people living below the swollen Tangjiashan lake formed by this month's devastating earthquake amid fears it could burst and trigger massive flooding.
The chemicals, adding pollution to the threat of flooding, were stranded in different work sites downstream, the newspaper said.
But radioactive materials had been largely recovered, the newspaper cited Ma Ning, director of the Southwest China Environmental Protection Supervision Centre, as saying. The disaster area is home to China's chief nuclear weapons research lab in Mianyang, as well as several secretive atomic sites, but no nuclear power stations.
The Tangjiashan lake was created when landslides blocked the Jianjiang river above the town and county of Beichuan in mountainous Sichuan province, near the epicenter of China's most destructive earthquake in decades.
SUDDEN BREAK
Alexander Densmore, a seismologist at Durham University in Britain, said any break in a quake lake would likely be sudden.
"It's a very real problem," said Densmore by telephone. "These landslide dams pose a really significant risk in these mountain regions, and in these narrow valleys it doesn't take much material to create a complete blockage."
Once a breach occurred, there could be an accelerating process leading to a sudden rush of water downstream.
"Once that process starts, it's virtually impossible to do anything to decrease the water... When they fail, they tend to fail catastrophically," he said of the quake dams.
Given the topography of Sichuan, with the western mountain country giving way to plains around Mianyang, a major rush of water could spill downstream and possibly affect lower-lying areas of cities such as Mianyang, he said.
The region along the faultline is densely packed with dams, raising concerns that if either the quake lakes or the weakened dams burst, the rush of water could cause others to fail.
The official death toll from the 7.9 magnitude quake is already more than 68,000 and is certain to rise further, with nearly 20,000 listed as missing. Aftershocks on Tuesday toppled 420,000 houses, many already uninhabitable.
A massive relief effort, which involves providing food, tents and clothing for millions and the reconstruction of housing and infrastructure, is expected to take up to three years.
Thousands of injured have been transferred to other provinces and the capital for treatment to ease the pressure on local hospitals.
Song Liangwei, 9, had always dreamed of visiting Beijing, but not as a quake victim.
"I wanted to go to Tiananmen Square, to climb the Great Wall, and to watch the Olympic Games," he said. :tiphat: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080529/wl_nm/quake_dc

At present the lower reaches of the people in the disaster areas, are waiting Tang Shan Yan Sehu danger of exclusion at an early date. As has been the scene of the end of the current command priority is always dangerous trends in monitoring the implementation of the transfer of work to ensure that a comprehensive break even in the case of there not a case of casualties.

[SIZE=+1]China issues flood warning as quake lake nears draining[/SIZE]
<SMALL>China National News
Thursday 5th June, 2008
(IANS)</SMALL>

​

Mianyang (China), June 5 (Xinhua) China Thursday issued a flood warning as water pressure in the Tangjiashan 'quake lake' was building rapidly, aggravating the danger that it could burst its banks.

Emergency teams were hoping to drain the lake but new landslides and higher than expected rainfall have added to the risk of flooding downstream, officials said.

The mud and rock dam, caused by landslide on the Jianjiang river in the May 12 quake, was also in the danger of collapsing under the pressure of increasing water.

More than 600 police and soldiers dug a 475-metre channel to divert water from the lake in Beichuan county of Mianyang city.

The water level at Tangjiashan lake had risen to 738.5 meters by Thursday, still 1.5 metre below the channel.

It is expected that the lake, which holds more than 200 million cubic metres of water, would start draining as soon as the water level reached the lowest point of the dam.

But one official warned late Wednesday the lake could burst its banks in the event of frequent aftershocks, rain on the upper reaches and the instability of the mud and rock dam.

'Water has been seeping out of the dam body,' he said.

'We must prepare for dealing with the worst scenario, but strive for the best results,' Chen Lei, the minister of water resources, said Wednesday.

A massive landslide could occur any time on the upper reaches, which would bring down about 20 million cubic metres of mud and rock into the lake, giving rise to huge waves.

He said draining the rapidly accumulating water in the artificial lake was necessary to 'ensure the safety of people downstream'.

More than 250,000 people in Mianyang have been relocated as a precaution.

The May 12 quake triggered massive landslides in southwestern Sichuan province, blocking the flow of rivers and creating more than 30 unstable 'quake-formed lakes' that threaten millions downstream.

The 8.0-magnitude quake, centred in Wenchuan county, has left more than 70,000 people dead, about 18,000 missing and millions homeless. More than 10,000 aftershocks have been reported since May 12.:tiphat: http://story.chinanationalnews.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/9366300fc9319e9b/id/367432/cs/1/

Refugees evacuated as quake lake rises
By CARA ANNA Associated Press Writer

excerpts (full article at link above):

More than 10,000 people were moved to higher ground Thursday as water continued to rise in a brimming lake formed by landslides from China's May 12 earthquake and another strong aftershock rocked the quake-battered region.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries following the 5.3 aftershock in Sichuan province.

Xinhua reported that water was still more than four feet below a diversion channel carved to drain the lake and it was not clear whether other measures were being taken to control the steadily rising water level.

"If it keeps raining heavily, Tangjiashan's water level will rise to the level of the flood-relief channel within two or three days, after which the water will naturally flow out through the channel," said a staffer reached by phone at the Sichuan provincial flood relief headquarters. The man declined to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Xinhua reported that 10,441 people in a low-lying area 32 miles from the lake area were evacuated Thursday afternoon and a traffic ban was being enforced in areas downstream from the dam. According to Xinhua some 250,000 people have been evacuated from areas threatened by the lake.

At a camp near Mianyang's Fule mountain, refugees said they had been told to leave for high ground by mid-afternoon.

If Tang Shan Yan Sehu dam break, 1 / 3 of the dam-break at the peak flow for 12,860 cubic meters / second, all of the dam-break time for the peak flow 34,330 cubic meters / second, the Lanzhou-Chengdu-Chongqing pipeline over the original design capacity of the largest flood water 6,620 cubic meters / second, the Lanzhou-Chengdu-Chongqing pipeline faces thrust dangerous.

Products Pipeline, 1998 at the Lanzhou-Chengdu-Chongqing, Lanzhou, via Gansu, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces, Chongqing Municipality arrived in the end, China is the sole product pipeline, to the southwest region, the annual transportation capacity of more than 6 million tons, Sichuan-Chongqing region 70 % Of the refined oil from this pipeline.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Le Jiedao, the pontoon will be set up in nine Lingzhen 7.30 Yaocun Fujiang River, the river toward the East and West, is scheduled operating area 185 meters wide river, the flow rate of about 2 meters / second, the two sides have easy access to road, such as the Tang-shan Yan Sehu water after a dam break retreat, likely to form a width of 200 meters of river flow changes little, but the two sides access road will be seriously damaged.

At present, the corporation has drawn up pontoon boat-bridge erection of two options: Option 1, when nine Lingzhen 7.30 Yaocun Fujiang river flow rate of 2.0 m / s -2.5 m / s, the erection of 60 tons pontoon bridge; programme 2: When the nine Lingzhen 7.30 Yaocun Fujiang river flow rate is less than 2.0 m / s, the erection of 25 tons of pontoon bridge.

Liu Yong war that the officers and men of the regiment has a programme to rescue exercise, is now facing difficulties: the first wave after the flood peak, the upper reaches may also be a large number of flood down to the new floods, the boat-bridge mission will be to quickly pontoon Decomposition, cut temporary pipeline will not affect the oil supply.

Tangjiashan quake-lake poses risk to oil pipeline

BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) said on Thursday the Tangjiashan quake-lake in Sichuan Province may destroy the company's pipeline in the area. The water reserve of the quake-lake was more than 200 million cubic meters as of Thursday. The probable bursting of the lake would pose risks to the Lanzhou-Chengdu-Chongqing oil pipeline. It is 60 km from the lake. According to the emergency plan, the flood discharge capacity could hit 34,330 cubic meters per second if the lake fully bursts. The pipeline, however, could only resist a maximum flood capacity of 6,620 cubic meters per second.
The CNPC said it had made out an emergency plan, and had to get ready to repair the pipeline if it suffered damage.
The Lanzhou-Chengdu-Chongqing oil pipeline passes through four provinces and municipalities nationwide. It is the only refined oil pipeline in the country's southwest regions. The pipeline has an annual transport capacity of more than 6 million tonnes. About 70 percent of the refined oil in Sichuan and Chongqing are channeled by this pipeline. The 8.0-magnitude tremor, which claimed 69,127 lives as of Thursday noon, left 34 quake lakes in its aftermath.
