The problems were analyzed about the environmental impact in the construction projects of water conservancy in China. Some relevant data and relevant guidelines were combined with the actual work which were referred to several environmental impact assessment reports. An index system was proposed about environmental impact assessment of ecological improvement project in Xishui River.

In order to solve the conflict between economic growth and environmental protection, the environmental impact assessment system used by western countries has been gradually introduced into China. It is a scientific and professional assessment system, which is regarded as the best tool to solve the conflict between economic growth and environmental protection. The implementation of the environmental impact assessment system can undoubtedly prevent some construction projects from having serious adverse impact on the environment. Through the comparison and selection of the feasibility schemes, the environmental impact of some construction projects can be minimized. Therefore, the environmental impact assessment system is regarded as an important pillar and effective legal system for the implementation of predictive environmental policy, which has attracted more and more attention in the world. In order to implement the strategy of sustainable development, prevent the adverse impact on the environment caused by the implementation of planning and construction projects, and promote the coordinated development of economy, society and environment, China has formulated the environmental impact assessment law. The law came into force on September 1, 2003 and was amended for the second time on December 29, 2018.

The Environmental Impact Assessment Law (EIA Law) of the People's Republic of China was adopted on 28 October 2002. It is the most progressive legislation addressing environmental issues in China to be developed over the past decade. The new EIA Law explicitly states that environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required for both new construction projects and plans. The types of plans covered by the new EIA Law include: (1) integrated plans for land use and regional development, development of drainage areas and marine areas; (2) specific plans for industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, energy, water management, transportation, urban construction, tourism and the development of natural resources. EIA for construction projects has been implemented in China for more than 20 years. Through this new EIA Law, the legal status of EIA for construction projects has been elevated from administrative legislation to State Law. EIA for plans is a type of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) where the concept of SEA is for the first time being advocated by the State at this level. This paper emphasises the legal requirements of SEA set forth by this new EIA Law, such as major purposes, key elements and procedures of EIA for plans.

In the article, based on existing approaches to the identification and systematization of assessment criteria, a system of criteria has been developed to assess the environmental impact of construction projects and the reconstruction of critical infrastructure. The proposed system of environmental impact assessment criteria is first and foremost relevant to critical transport infrastructure. Purpose of the study - creation of a system of environmental impact assessment criteria in construction projects and the reconstruction of critical infrastructure to identify potential environmental hazards and threats to projects of this type. Method of the study - methodology of project and program management; mechanisms for identification and systematization of criteria. A system of criteria has been developed consisting of five main blocks of criteria, namely: the quality of the surface layer of atmospheric air, waste management, physical factors of influence, social environment and industrial environment. Each of these blocks of criteria contains indicators that detail them. The results of the article can be implemented in the process of environmental impact assessment of construction projects and reconstruction of critical infrastructure. Forecast assumptions about the object of study - developing a method for assessing the environmental impact of construction and reconstruction projects for critical transport infrastructure. KEY WORDS: TRANSPORT, SECURITY, PROJECT, OBJECT, CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, CRITERIA, PROTECTION.
