Environmental impact:
|
Screened B in accordance with the EBRD’s 2008 Environmental and Social Policy. The project involves an upgrade of the wastewater collection infrastructure for the existing Client, and it is expected to further improve operating efficiency and environmental standards on the wastewater collection services in the City of Surgut. The environmental and social due diligence will need to establish compliance with the relevant Performance Requirements (PRs). It will include a review the current status of the existing facilities by means of an environmental and social review, and will assess the environmental and social benefits and impacts of the proposed project components by means of an analysis. An Environmental & Social Action Plan (ESAP) will need to be prepared based on the outcomes of the due diligence, and a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). The environmental and social due diligence will be carried out prior to Final Review.
