Environmental Safeguards Joint Application of GoI and World Bank Environment Safeguards

Clean Final PIP_WINRIP_IBRD 06032012 17 15 EIRR standard are justified by additional criteria, including broader socio-economic and development benefits. Many road sub-projects have EIRRs well above the minimum indicating urgency for implementation for economic efficiency. Annex 3 provides details of the economic evaluation for the road works, the largest component of the project. Economic evaluations have not been carried out for bridge works. These works have been selected for reasons of necessity to replace ailing existing bridges or provide bridge capacity compatible with the associated road works.

1.8 Environmental and Social Safeguards

1.8.1 Environmental Safeguards

GoI environmental safeguards for WINRIP are based on the Environment Impact Assessment System AMDAL as mandated by various laws and regulations. Annex 4 details the Environmental and Social Management Framework ESMF Environmental and Social Safeguards ESS adopted for WINRIP. All proposed WINRIP subprojects are subject to environmental impact screening Figure A4- 1, Annex 4 to identify one of three treatments: i basic environmental clauses, ii an environmental mitigation and monitoring plan UKLUPL report or iii a full EIA AMDAL. Processes ii and iii must include an examination of potential impacts on the biophysical, socio-cultural and built environment,. The extent of the social impact in terms of land acquisition and resettlement has an impact on an ANDAL only when land acquisition extends to more than 30 hectares outside the RoW for inter-urban roads, 10 hectares for medium size cities and 5 hectares for big size cities. In such cases a full AMDAL is triggered. Mitigation and monitoring measures must be provided for all impacts not complying with GoI regulations and standards. Projects which are identifed as potentially generating significant environm en tal impacts require a full Environmental Assessment AMDAL. This large field study will identify whether the project as designed can proceed, and the mitigation measures needed to be included. Projects triggering an AMDAL require referral to the World Bank, and additional study may be required to satisfy their requirements.

1.8.2 Joint Application of GoI and World Bank Environment Safeguards

All sub-projects will be screened according to the World Bank exclusion and referral procedures and, if cleared, be subject to the GoI screening steps defined in Figures A.4-1 and A4.2. The World Bank clearing process will be invoked only for projects that require full environmental assessment and for which World Bank funding assistance is directly involved. For all projects clearing the World Bank screening process and not requiring any additional environmental studies, based on Figures A.4.1 and A4.2, a set of Standard Operational Procedures SOPs Standard Environmental Clauses SECs will be included in the bidcontract documents. For some works, a further set of Special Environmental Clauses SpECs may be added to emphasize potentially problematic conditions that warranted the UKLUPL review. For these subprojects, the UKLUPL report will specify the Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plans and the SECs to be embodied in the works contract. Formats for all required documentation have been agreed and will be detailed in the Project Management Manual. Clean Final PIP_WINRIP_IBRD 06032012 18
