Environmental impact:
|
The project has been screened A/1, requiring an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of a planned new sanitary landfill, an environmental audit of the existing and currently used landfill facility and an environmental analysis of transfer stations. This EIA will be carried out by independent international consultants. The project will comply with the Bank’s information disclosure requirements for "A" screened projects.
An environmental audit will identify past and present environmental, health and safety risks and liabilities associated with current practices of municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal at the existing landfill site. An environmental analysis will identify potential environmental impact, health and safety risks and liabilities associated with future MSW transfer stations.
There is an Environmental Impact Assesment available for this project.
