1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT PROJECT

Since the opening up of China in 1979, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region has witnessedphenomenal economic growth. Both the total population and the urbanization rate have increasedequally rapidly. Over the period 1990 to 2000 the population in the PRD rose by almost 7% toalmost 40 million inhabitants, largely due to inward migration of workers seeking employment.However, investment in environmental control has not kept pace, as evidenced by the severedeterioration in river water quality conditions during the period, and the resulting severe pollutionand eutrophication observed in the lower delta and in the China sea.

Recognizing the severity and the urgency of the water quality problems, Guangdong ProvincialEnvironmental Protection Bureau (EPB-GD) has recently launched an ambitious eight yearinvestment program totalling almost 45 Billion RMB known as the "Pearl River Clean-UpCampaign".

It is in this context that the World Bank and Guangdong Provincial Government has launched theGuangdong Pearl River Delta Urban Environmental Project (GPRDUEP). Although concentratingpredominantly in terms of infrastructure investment in the Municipality of Guangzhou, the projectaims primarily at developing cost-effective strategies and institutional models which can serve as a"blue-print" for the whole PRD Region.

Among the WB supported project components, the infrastructure development program includes 5subcomponents:* Construction of a Wastewater Treatment Plant at Dashadi, together with its trunk sewer

network;* Construction of the Phase 3 of the Liede WWTP, together with the extension of its trunk sewer

network;* Upgrading and improvement of Guangzhou sewer etwork in four wastewater systems;* Construction of a regional Hazardous Waste Treatment Facility and Landfill.* Inter-Municipal environmental infrastructure

1.2. GENERAL BACKGROUND FOR EA

1.2.1. CLASSIFICATION OF EA

In accordance with PRC National Regulations and the World Bank Operational Policy 4.01 relatedto Environmental Assessment, the concerned wastewater components of the Project would mostlikely fall under the Category A project and as such, they will require full EA.

1.2.2. PRINCIPLE AND METHODOLOGY FOLLOWED

The project technical and financial preparation for the inter-municipal components will be carriedout by Chinese local organisations with technical support provided by a Design Review andAdvisory (DRA) Consultant (funded from the loan proceedings) to the Guangdong ProjectManagement Office (PMO), the responsible institution for the overall preparation of the project.

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT N° 355073 PAGE 1 2004- FEBRUARY



In accordance with the Government Regulation "Strengthening Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) Management for the Construction Project Loaned by International Finance Organisation" ofJune 21, 1993 and the World Bank Safeguards Operational Policy, the Project PMO, willcommission a local institute or institutes to carry out the EA studies for the wastewatercomponents.

Similarly, Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) for each of the subcomponents will be carried out by alocal institute in accordance with the PRC regulations and the World Bank Safeguards, and anoverall RAP will be prepared with the assistance of the DRA Consultant.

1.2.3. COVERAGE OF EA

This Framework EA has been carried in accordance with the State and Guangzhou laws, codesand criteria relating to environmental protection. It has been developed to provide guidance toChinese EA preparers concerning the technical demands of international financial organisationswith respect to environmental safeguard measures. In practice this means meeting therequirements of the World Bank's environmental safeguards, and more precisely those of theOperational Policy 4.01 for EA.

2. STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL FRAMEWORK

2.1. GENERAL

The Pearl River, or Zhujiang River, system is China's third longest river, after the Yangtze andYellow Rivers. The Pearl River has three principal tributaries, namely, the Xijiang River, BeijiangRiver and Dongjiang River. It also receives input from several other small tributaries within thePearl River Delta. Its average annual flow rate of approximately 10,000 cubic meters per second(m3/s) is exceeded only by the Yangtze River. It is 2,214 km long and drains an area of453,690 kM2, most of which is in China and a small part of which is in Vietnam. Parts of theprovinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi drain to the Pearl Riversystem.

The Pearl River discharges into the South China Sea through eight distributaries. The four eastern-most distributaries discharge their waters into the Lingdingyang. Hong Kong is situated to the eastof the Lingdingyang, which shall be referred to as the "Pearl River Estuary". The Pearl RiverEstuary receives 53% of the river runoff, i.e., about 5,300 m3/s of average flow rate. (Figure 2.1).

Development during the past centuries in the Pearl River watershed has resulted in increasedrunoff and sediments to the river, primarily from agricultural and deforestation activities in earlytimes. More recently, urbanization and industrial development greatly increased the pollution loadflowing to the river. The phenomenal development in the Pearl River Delta during the past 20 yearshas resulted in heavy pollution in the lower reaches of the river and has affected the estuary.

Several programs or projects for pollution control and abatement in the Pearl River and in itsestuary have been or are currently under consideration:* The Pearl River Estuary Pollution Project* The Guangdong PRD Urban Environmental Strategic Plan* The Guangdong PRD Urban Environment Project* Supporting initiatives: Animal Waste Reduction Project (GEF), Industrial Pollution Control Plan.

2.2. THE PEARL RIVER ESTUARY POLLUTION PROJECT (PREPP)

The objective of the (PREPP) is to use a combination of traditional and new technologies to gain asolid understanding of the status of selected toxic pollutants, sediment, phytoplankton and nutrientlevels in the Pearl River Estuary. Given the dramatic growth of industry and population in the area,this information was urgently needed to ensure that government pollution monitoring and controlstrategies were in line with the most serious threats to ecology and human health in thisecosystem. The PREPP was conceived at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(HKUST), and started officially early 1999, after being awarded HK$18,000,000 grant by the HongKong Jockey Club.

A comprehensive data gathering involved the most updated technological tools. Water andsediment samples were collected from a research vessel with a fleet of small and from a network ofinstruments installed in various locations to collect field data, and including automatic sampling andanalysis for the measurement of dissolved oxygen, pH values, turbidity and chlorophyllconcentration.

Remote sensing technology was also used to capture details about the coastal environment. Astation was installed to receive images from NOAA-AVHRR. These images provide temporalcomparison of sea surface temperature, suspended sediment and other parameters. Also, acoastal radar system measures the ocean current on the horizontal surface area.

A coastal ocean mathematical model was then developed and used for assessing the presentdistribution of pollution load in the area and for the prediction of water quality and otherenvironmental parameters in the future. However, a key weakness of the pollution model comesfrom the difficult access for the scientists to have to the data related to pollution loads measured bythe various agencies in the PRD. The present EA and more specially the water quality modellinginitiated under the DRA Consultant assistance, may provide an effective link between the worksdone on the sea side and those performed on the river, and allow Hong Kong scientists a moreaccurate calibration of their model with more benefits from its results.

A real-time Geographical Information System (GIS) integrating all data has been developed. Thewater quality situation display is expected to provide real-time, tactical and strategic information onthe environmental quality of the waters in the Pearl River Estuary, and to provide the possibility toissue scientifically based biological alerts when the risk of harmful algal blooms (resulting from therapid eutrophication of the estuary) becomes critical.

2.3. THE GUANGDONG PRD URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIC PLAN

This strategic plan covers the Pearl River Basin in Guangdong Province with a total area of112,000 km2. Two time horizons are set, a short term horizon (2005) and a longer term horizon(2010), for which the objectives to achieve are the followings:* Year 2005

- Protection of water quality in major lakes, reservoirs, rivers, seawater near the coast;- Quality of drinking water sources meet the standards;- 75% of river reaches from national and provincial water bodies and from rivers inside

urban areas satisfy their water quality objectives;- 85% of industrial wastewater is treated to meet standards;- 40% of domestic wastewater is treated to meet standards;- In large cities, 60% or more of domestic wastewater is treated to meet standards- In cities of the PRD, 50% of domestic wastewater is treated to meet standards- Investment for the environmental protection to reach 2.5% of the GDP.

* Year 2010- Major surface water bodies and coastal seawater to satisfy their functional water quality

objectives;- Xijiang, Beijiang, Dongjiang and major branches of PRD show good water quality;- All the public drinking water source meet standards;- 80% of river reaches from national and provincial water bodies and from rivers inside

urban areas satisfy their water quality objectives;- 90% of industrial wastewater is treated to meet standards;- 60% of domestic wastewater has to be treated to meet the regulation- In cities of the PRD and economical zones, 70% of domestic wastewater is treated to

meet standards- Investment for the environmental protection to reach 3% of the GDP.

The achievement of these objectives would be coordinated by the implementation of a waterpollution control plan covering four major aspects:* Industrial Pollution Control consisting of the control of key industrial pollution source in the

main industrial sectors. All cities and counties should monitor and control the discharge of keyindustries (179 industries listed);

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT N' 355073 PAGE 5 2004 -FEBRUARY



* Domestic Wastewater Treatment consisting of 163 projects of domestic WWTP to beconstructed by 2010. At completion, the total capacity of these WWTP will be about12.23 million m3/day (in addition to the existing wastewater treatment capacity);

* Agricultural and Poultry Pollution Control, consisting in the application of existing Guidelinesfrom SEPA and Guangdong EPB, in the relocation of all poultry industries from urban to ruralareas and on the ban of any new poultry farm within a water supply resource catchment of thePRD.

* River Rehabilitation consisting of 3 major fields of action:

- Integrated Rehabilitation of key rivers: Pearl River Guangzhou section, Foshanshuidao,Shenzhenhe river, Qijianghe river, Jiangmenhe river, Tianshahe river, Nongganghe river,Pingshanhe river, Dongguan canal, Dongpuhe river.

- Integrated water pollution control and management in municipal areas of Guangzhou andFoshan, and in the Shimahe river basin. Fifteen integrated rehabilitation projects areidentified for a total estimated investment of about 15.9 billion RMB;

- Integrated Rehabilitation of Urban creeks: in every city, at least one heavily polluted creekmust be rehabilitated by the year 2003;

- Domestic Solid Waste Treatment: No open domestic dumping site is allowed along theriver side, but lined landfill sites will be required. Recycling and other treatment processeswill be promoted. A total of 8 domestic landfill facilities will be constructed for a totalinvestment of 1.814 billion RMB;

- Ecosystem development and protection: To follow the "national guideline for eco-environmental protection". Preparation of plans for river basin protection, water resourceprotection, and soil protection (total of 3 projects for 1.24 billion RMB)

As presented in the following table, the proposals outlined in the Strategic Plan represent a totalinvestment of approximately 44 Billion RMB (or 5.35 Billion USD) an concern mainly wastewatertreatment and rehabilitation of key rivers.

(GPRDUEP) proposed for financing by the World Bank are to i) support environmentalimprovements in PRD, ii) provide a safe environmental setting for the sustainable long-termeconomic growth of the main urban areas of PRD, iii) enhance river basin management anddecision-making in metropolitan Guangzhou, and iv) promote regional and inter-municipal planningand investments (leading to improved cost effectiveness in investment financing).

The main project objective is to provide a safe environmental setting for the long-term economicgrowth of Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta economic region, to sustain economic andindustrial growth. Specific objectives are to: (a) enhance and rationalize provision of wastewatertreatment, water supply, municipal solid waste management, human waste and storm watermanagement on a rational regional planning approach; (b) reduce industrial pollution, and improvepollution control; (c) strengthen water quality monitoring; (d) improve municipal, wastewater utilityfinancial management;, (e) introduce innovative financing instruments to raise capital funds forinvestments; and (e) support capacity building, feasibility studies, and future investment projectpreparation for urban environmental improvements.

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT N' 355073 PAGE 7 2004- FEa3RUARY



2.4.2. PROJECT MAIN COMPONENTS

Project components proposed to be included in the proposed project are: (a) GuangzhouWastewater Management, comprising wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) of capacity200,000 m3/d each at Dashadi (new plant) and Liede IlIl (expansion of existing plant), about1000 km of trunk sewers in six drainage areas, and technical support to an ongoing public toiletprogram in Guangzhou, (b) Inter-Municipal Environmental Infrastructure for at least two groups ofcities, districts or towns, (c) Hazardous Waste Management facility to treat wastes from Guangzhouand neighbouring municipalities, (d) Environmental Water Quality Monitoring and MIS, and (e)Capacity Building, Training and Technical Studies.

2.5. OTHER SUPPORTING INITIATIVES

2.5.1. ACTION PLAN FOR LIVESTOCK WASTE MANAGEMENT

Livestock-and in particular pig-production is an important source of water and air pollution in thePearl River Delta (PRD). China has about 43 percent of the world population of pigs, and pigdensity in the PRD is one of the highest of China. Increasing demand and urbanization areexpected to further increase this demand for animal products. However already today, pig manureis reportedly equivalent to about 40 percent of the volume of industrial waste, and the amount ofwaste from pigs in PRD is about the same as from humans.

While specific information on its effect on the water quality is not available for PRD, the CODdischarged from livestock into the total network of tributaries to the South and East China Sea isestimated to be equivalent to about 27 percent of the total COD discharges of industrial and humanwaste (1996 figures). It is expected that this figure will increase to about 90 percent by the year2010. Any effort to address water and air pollution in PRD therefore has to take into account thepollution caused by livestock production.

A project to be proposed for GEF grant support and called Livestock Waste Management in EastAsia is currently under preparation with the assistance of a GEF PDF (Project development fund)by the FAO. This project addresses the livestock waste management issues in selected regions of3 countries, Vietnam, Thailand and China. For China, it is anticipated to select the PRD region.

The preparation of the proposed Action Plan is proposed to be developed in collaboration with thepreparation and implementation of the proposed GEF "" Project.

It is therefore proposed that the project would prepare an Action Plan for Livestock WasteManagement, as part of the Guangdong PRD Urban Environment Project and in coordination withthe GEF current project, to prevent and substantially reduce livestock induced water and airpollution. Such Action Plan would provide: (a) identification of priority intervention areas based ondetailed baseline information on livestock-pollution; (b) a detailed inventory of the main currentpolicies and institutions related to the environmental effects of livestock production and theidentification of the main needs for strengthening of regulation and their enforcement; (c) theidentification of possible areas for future growth in livestock production; and (d) detailed investmentplans for the mitigation of current livestock-induced pollution, specifying priority intervention areas,the most appropriate types of technologies to be applied, their costs and their financing.

3. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

3.1. NATIONAL POLICIES AND TARGETS

China's vision for the future conditions of the environment has been expressed by SEPA': "Thevision is that within the next decades, polluted and toxic rivers and waters will again be clear, theair will be clean and fresh to breathe, the soils will be fertile, the forests will grow and be healthy,and the natural resources shall be used in a way that ensures there is enough also for futuregenerations."

This vision concords with that of the World Bank in their policy document for China's Environmentin the 2 1st century entitled "Clear Water, Blue Skies" (1997). Both visions embody the concepts of'sustainable development" and "environmental regeneration" at the heart of the World Bank'sLending Policy in which sustainable development is a requirement that all projects must meet.

China has put the issue of environmental protection as one of its fundamental policies to guaranteea sustainable development of the nation in the 21st century. The Chinese government has drawn upthree main principles for pollution control:* Prevention first and combining prevention with control,* Polluters pay, and* Strong environmental regulatory framework

Prevention should be achieved by the obligation to carry out environmental impact assessments forall new projects and by the "three-at-a-same-time" system by which pollution prevention andcontrol should be carried out simultaneously with the planning, the construction and the putting intooperation of new projects. A regulatory framework has been set up, including laws forenvironmental protection and prevention and control of water pollution, standards for emission ofpollutants and regulations concerning environmental fines for units that exceed the set limits.

The water pollution control issues have been given attention in the Tenth Five-Year Plan.Particular concern is given to the surface water quality, to the water shortages and to the industrialpollution from large industries as well as from Town and Village Enterprises (TVEs).

The China Trans-Century Green Project is an important component part of the National Ninthand Tenth Five-year Plan for Environment Protection and the long-term Target for the Year 2010. Itis a concrete plan with specific projects and key areas, designed to organise the relevantdepartments, localities and enterprises and pool financial and material resources in carrying out aseries of project measures with regard to some key regions major basins and vital environmentalproblems and in conformity with the implementation of international conventions ,wages severalgreat campaigns, promote the work as a whole and declare war on environmental pollution andecological destruction under control by and large and improve the environmental quality of somecities and regions at the end of this century and gradually attain the general objectives ofenvironmental protection in China in 2010 (SEPA).

"The Green Project", spanning 15 years ,is divided into three phases . The first phase ransimultaneously with the "Ninth Plan", that is between the year 1996 and 2000. The second andthird Phases follow sequentially.

The principles for compiling a project under of the "Green Project" are* Special attention is paid to major environmental problems;* Technology and economy are both feasible;

SEPA, 1998. State of the Environment in China

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT N" 355073 PAGE 9 2004- FEBRUARY



* Consideration must be given to environmental social and economic benefits;* "Polluter pays for the pollution"; the capital input is to be borne mainly by the localities and the

enterprises;* The implementation of every project will be regulated by the current investment management

system.

In November 1998, the State Council issued the National Ecological Environment ConstructionPlan. Based on ecological environment protection and conservation in China, this new planintroduced some important aspects related to terrestrial ecological environment conservation. Themain content of the plan included the protection of natural resources such as natural forests, treeand grass planting, water and soil conservation, desertification control. These activities should allbe carried out with particular emphasis on public participation and with the effective use of moderntechnologies.

3.2. ENVIRONMENTAL INSTITUTIONS AND ROLES

3.2.1. NATIONAL LEVEL: EPC AND SEPA

3.2.1.1. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION (EPC)

This Commission, situated at the highest level of the central Government, has the function toformulate and issue laws and regulations for environmental protection and to put forward planningrequirements.

3.2.1.2. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ADMINISTRATION (SEPA)

SEPA was set up as a ministry at the end of March 1998 when the National EnvironmentalProtection Agency (NEPA) was upgraded from a sub-ministry to a ministry level. Presently, SEPAis a ministerial-level authority directly under the State Council responsible for the environmentalprotection in China. Its main responsibilities are as follows:* To formulate national guidelines, policies, laws and regulations on environmental protection and

provide supervision over their implementation.* To work out national plans and programmes for environmental protection; to participate in the

formulation of medium and long-term programmes and annual plans for national economic andsocial development.

* To formulate and issue national standards for environmental protection.* To oversee environmental protection concerning the atmosphere, water, soil and oceans; to

provide supervision and management for the control and prevention of pollution.* To formulate and organize the implementation of national policies for environmental protection.* To supervise and administer the country's work in nature conservation and to make

programmes and plans for establishment of nature reserves, preparing and presentingproposals to the State Council for approval in establishing new national nature reserves.

* To organize the implementation of environmental management and enforcement, providemonitoring and perform environmental impact assessments.

* To manage and supervise environmental monitoring nationwide.* To direct and coordinate national education on environmental protection.* To assist in the formulation of China's basic principles on global environmental issues and to

participate in negotiations dealing with international conventions.




3.2.1.3. ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER FOR AGENDA 21

In 1992 and 1993, China developed a National Agenda 21 - White Paper on China's Population,Environment and Development in the 21st Century. A Leading Group co-chaired by a deputyminister of the State Science and Technology Commission and a deputy minister of the StatePlanning Commission was established in August 1992 to organise and coordinate the formulationand implementation of China's Agenda 21, which was approved by the State Council in March1994. In 1994, the State Council also issued a directive calling on government institutions at alllevels, to consider China's Agenda 21 as an overarching strategic guideline for the formulation ofeconomic and social development plans, and particularly to integrate it into the Five Year Plan(1996-2000), plans for the year 2010, and into day-to-day management.

Agenda 21 aims to solve pressing problems associated with population, natural resources,environment and development confronting the country. A priority programmes of the Centre will beincorporated into medium-and long-term national economic and social Development plansparticularly the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2001-2006).

The priority programmes of China's Agenda 21 include 69 programmes in nine distinct groups,including some having a direct relationship with the present project as Cleaner Production andEnvironmental Protection Industry (Group3), Environmental Pollution Control (Group9).

An Administrative Centre for China's Agenda 21 has been set up to coordinate and follow theimplementation of the Priority Program by the several institutions concerned.

3.3. LEGAL ENVIRONMENTAL FRAMEWORK

3.3.1. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

3.3.1.1. EIA SUPPORTING LAWS & REGULATIONS

At National level

Since 2002, the EIA process in China is under the Environmental Impact Assessment Law (2002-10-28). Several other national laws and regulations provide a legal background to EIA:* Environmental Protection Law (1979 & 1989)* Regulation on the Environmental Protection Management of Construction Projects (1986, 1998,

by the State Council)* Environmental Protection Management for Construction Projects, State Council, November

1998;* Regulations on the Certificate for the EIA of Construction Projects (1989 NEPA)* Regulations on Criteria for the Classification of Construction Project on a Large and Medium

Scale* Regulations on Environmental Impact Assessment: Standards of Environmental Protection

of Environmental Protection Industry of the People's Republic of China, HJ/T19,1997)

Technical regulations for EIA consist of environmental quality standards, basic health standards,public safety standards, standards for controlling toxic and radioactive substances, and pollutantemission standards.

Except for the pollutants emission standards, local governments are not allowed to adopt their ownprescriptions in any of the other four categories having to follow the national regulations.

3.3.1.2. EIA PROCEDURES

Environmental regulations in China require developers to submit EIA reports to the EnvironmentalProtection Bureau and other concerned departments. Each EIA report must specify measures toensure that environmental standards are met in the design, construction, and operation phases

EIA reports must be prepared by specialists/institutions that hold a Certificate for Assessmentissued by either the State Environmental Protection Agency or a related provincial authority.

Legally, the environmental agencies at provincial or municipal levels have the authority to reviewand approve all EIA reports regardless of the project's scale. In practice, EIA reports for largeprojects are normally handled in conjunction with the SEPA which plays a leading role. Small andlocal projects with an investment under RMB 30 million are generally reviewed and approved bylocal environmental agencies (Environmental Protection Bureaus, EPBs).

For projects funded by such international institutions as the World Bank or the Asian DevelopmentBank, the EIA requirements are slightly different, with the obligation to fulfill also the requirementsof the concerned institution. In this case, two sets of documents are prepared, one followingChinese EIA regulations, the other following the requirements of the international funding agency.This is the situation of the present project. However, differences between both requirements arelimited, most of the requirements from both side being the same. Differences concern mainlyspecific points as the analysis of project alternative and systematic public hearing of targetpopulation and beneficiaries.

The provincial and municipal EPBs are in charge of monitoring the projects' progress and reportany irregularities to SEPA.

The EIA Stage

The core of the project's feasibility study is the EIA. In the scrutiny of the project proposal, theenvironmental agency will decide on the proper format of the EIA report. EPB screens the project inorder to decide which category the project belongs to.

The 3 categories are:* Category 1: Project with significant impacts for which full EIA is required

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT N° 355073 PAGE 13 2004 - FEBRUARY



* Category 2: Project with limited impact and easy mitigation, for which only simplified EIA isrequired

* Category 3: Project with little or no impact for which only an EIA table to be filled is required.

The project proponent/owner will then commission an EA specialist/institution to prepare the Termsof Reference for the EA report (huanping dagang) to be approved by the Environment Agency(EPB, SEPA). Once it is approved, the project proponent will finalize a contract with the EIAspecialist/institution who will then prepare the EIA study and reports. The EIA report has to bedrafted with reference to local environmental quality standards and pollutants emission standards

Once finished, the EA report is first examined by the commercial and industrial authorities thathave jurisdiction over the project, followed by the Environmental Agency (EPBs, SEPA)

If the project is believed to have significant environmental impacts or to involve complicatedenvironmental issues, it can be requested the EIA specialisVinstitution testify before a panel ofexperts organized by the environmental agency. The environmental agency has the final authorityto accept or reject the EIA report

The "three synchronization" stage

The approval of EA report brings the project into the last stage of the process, the "threesynchronization" stage

The environmental agency will ensure that environmental prescriptions specified in the EA reportare followed in the project design, construction, and completion phases.

1. During the design phase, the proponent will prepare and submit to the environmentalagency the project's environmental plan which specifies actions for carrying out theenvironmental protection measures prescribed in the EA report and provides an investmentbudget;

2. During the construction phase, the construction contractor is required to provide regularreports on specific matters arising during construction, such as the difficulty in complyingwith emission standards for example

3. At the completion phase, the project proponent should submit an application for testoperation to the EPB and to other concerned municipal authorities.

3.3.2. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STANDARDS

Most of the following standards are detailed in Appendix 3: Environmental Quality Standards.

National standards for surface water quality previously enforced successively by GB3838-1983,and GB3838-1988 were recently revised in 2002 (GB3838-2002). The water bodies are divided intofive classes according to their utilization purposes and protection objectives:

* Class I is mainly applicable to spring water and to national nature reserves.

* Class II is mainly applicable to first class of protected areas for main sources of drinking water,for the protection areas of rare fish species, and for spawning grounds for fish and shrimp.

* Class III is mainly applicable to second class of protected areas for main sources of drinkingwater, and to protected areas for the common fish and for swimming areas.

* Class IV is mainly applicable to the water for industrial use and entertainment which has nodirect contact with human body.

* Class V is mainly applicable to water bodies for agricultural use and landscape requirement.

Wastewater treatment plant effluents must conform to the Comprehensive Emission Standards ofWaste Water (GB8978-1996), revised in 2002.




Several other standards apply either during the construction or operation phases of the project.These include mainly:* Drinking Water Quality Standards GJ3020-1993* Ground Water Quality Standards GB/T14848-1993* Environmental Air Quality Standard (GB3095-1996) with regulation GB3095-96 for Fluoride

and standard for maximum concentration of Chlorine from Industry Designing SanitaryStandards (TJ36-1979).

* Standards for the Protection of Crops (GB9173-88) set the maximum concentration of someair pollutants in order to preserve the safe consumption of crops.

* Class Two standard of Urban Area Environmental Noise Standards GB3096-1995, whichapplies to residential, commercial and industrial mixed area.

* Environmental vibration adopts Urban Area Environmental Vibration Standards GB10070-88,which apply to mixed area and commercial centre area, day 75dB(A), night 72dB(A).

* Exhaust gas which adopts Comprehensive Emission Standards of Air Pollutant (GB16297-1996)

* Construction noise which adopts Limiting Values for Construction Area (GB12523-90)

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE INTER-MUNICIPAL COMPONENT

4.1. OVERALL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The GPDRUEP components proposed to be included in the first implementation phase supportedby a World Bank loan are: (a) Guangzhou Wastewater Management, comprising wastewatertreatment plants (WWTP) of capacity 200,000 m3/d each at Dashadi (new plant) and Liede IlIl(expansion of existing plant), about 500 km of trunk sewers in six drainage areas, and technicalsupport to an ongoing public toilet program in Guangzhou, (b) Inter-Municipal EnvironmentalInfrastructure for at least two groups of cities, districts or towns, (c) Hazardous Waste Managementfacility to treat wastes from Guangzhou and neighbouring municipalities, (d) Environmental WaterQuality Monitoring and MIS, and (e) Capacity Building, Training and Technical Studies.

The overall project tentative cost estimate, as established at the time of the World Bank Appraisalmission of December 2003, is given in the following table.

TABLE 2: COST ESTIMATE FOR GPRDUEP 1

COMPONENT COST (RMB MILLION)

1. Guangzhou Wastewater Management 2718.1

2. Hazardous Waste Management 198.6

3. Inter Municipal Environment Infrastructure 897.9

4. Environmental Water Quality Monitoring and MIS 93.3

5. Institutional Strengthening and Training 70.4

Total Project Cost (including contingencies) 3978.3

4.2. RATIONALE OF THE INTER-MUNICIPAL COMPONENT

As already mentioned earlier, although concentrating predominantly in terms of infrastructureinvestment in the Municipality of Guangzhou, the project aims primarily at developing cost-effectivestrategies and institutional models which can serve as a "blue-print" for the whole PRD Region. Amajor challenge of the project is to develop institutional models able to traverse the traditionaladministrative boundaries (between counties and districts within municipalities, and betweenmunicipalities themselves) thus enabling the cost savings associated with economies of scale to beachieved, and for the environmental benefit of the PRD.

It has therefore been agreed as part of the GPRDUEP to develop a series of inter-jurisdiction (inter-district; inter-municipal) projects as a pilot operation. Through the implementation of the pilotsubprojects, potential benefits would be demonstrated, and institutional models would bedeveloped, facilitating replication. In order to assure replication, a revolving credit facility will becreated by the GPG with seed funds provided from the proceeds of the loan, and additionalmatching funds to finance future subprojects. The Facility will onlend these funds at terms thatwould enable revolving, and encourage continued construction of jointly-managed environmentalinfrastructure.




Proposed infrastructure must meet safeguards requirements, and be: (a) designed to improvewater quality of the rivers and water bodies, (b) owned and managed by two or more cities, districtsor towns, (b) revenue earning investments, and (c) environmental infrastructure (i.e., wastewatertreatment plant, wastewater interceptors, water supply source augmentation including transmissionfor bulk supply of raw or treated water; water supply treatment plant; municipal solid waste landfill).

In view of the innovative nature of this initiative, incentives are proposed, with support from a GEFgrant and loan funds, to encourage municipalities, districts and towns to collaborate to constructjointly-owned environmental infrastructure. Incentives would be in the form of grants for investmentand support for operating cost, and increased loan disbursement for civil works. , and support forincremental operating costs for these subprojects. As incentives to promote this initiative, the first 4projects approved for funding would receive a capital cost grant of Yuan 10 million each andoperations cost support of about Yuan 3.4 million each, in equal amounts over the first two years ofoperation, disbursed from the GEF allocation of $6.8 million for this component. Loan funds wouldfinance capital costs of the subprojects, and an enhanced loan disbursement of 65 percent for civilworks would be made as an additional incentive.

Provision is made to finance other subprojects that would be identified in the future. Subprojects tobe identified in the future that meet the criteria would be eligible for financing from the budgetprovision made in the project, higher disbursement for civil works, and incremental operating costs.There would be no GEF grant support for subprojects to be identified in the future.

4.3. PROJECT COMPONENTS

Three project components have been thus far identified:

* Shenzhen Pingshan Wetland Treatment

* Luoxi Island Wastewater

* Foshan Zhen'an Wwtp Third Phase

The following paragraphs describe briefly these paragraphs.

4.3.1. SHENZHEN PINGSHAN WETLAND TREATMENT WORKS

Shenzhen Pingshang River Wetland Treatment Works. The subproject is to be developed undercooperation between the Longgang District Government and Shenzhen Great Industrial ZoneAdministration Commission, and is intended to improve water quality of the Pingshang River inShenzhen. Shenzhen already has good experience operating two smaller wetlands to improve riverwater quality. Wetland works of total area of 47.9 ha are to be constructed at Pingshang River inLonggang District from the entrance of Chi'au river to the entrance of Dunzi River in GreatIndustrial Zone, comprising 25.3 ha of rehabilitation of riverside natural wetlands and 22.6 ha ofartificial wetlands. It is proposed to treat about 230,000 m3/day average river flow period (and60000 m3/d in dry river flow period), with preliminary treatment and traverse through wetlands. Thedesign is based on the high efficiency vertical flow wetland treatment technology, and is expectedto achieve the following improvements in water quality parameters at a loading on wetlandtreatment of 0.33-1.0 m21m3/d. The parameters at the inlet to wetland and at the outlet (inparentheses) are: COD 30-50 (15-25); BOD 15-25 (3-6); NH3-N 1-14 (0.8-1.2); and TP 1.5-2.0(0.18-0.22). Shenzhen agencies have indicated that they plan to use own funds to finance thesubproject; hence this subproject would be eligible for the GEF grant, and the operation costsupport only. Total base cost is estimated at Yuan 123.4 million.

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT NO 355073 PAGE 18 2004- FEBRUARY



4.3.2. LUOXI ISLAND WASTEWATER

Luoxi Island Wastewater Discharged into Lijiao Wastewater Treatment System. The subproject isto be developed under cooperation between the Guangzhou Municipal Gardening Bureau andPanyu District Municipal Gardening Bureau. Wastewater from Luoxi Island, which has developedrapidly in recent years and which currently discharges untreated to Pearl River, will be interceptedand conveyed to the Lijiao Wastewater treatment plant in Guangzhou. The conveyor will bedesigned for a planned wastewater flow of 60,000 m3/d for the service area of about 9.38 km2. Theproject includes about 17.5 km of sewers of diameters 400 mm -1100 mm, a siphon, and threepumping stations with total capacity of 1300 liters/sec. Total base cost is estimated at Yuan 121.5million.

4.3.3. FOSHAN ZHEN'AN WWTP THIRD PHASE

The subproject to be developed under cooperation between the Chancheng District Governmentand Nanhai District Government, is the third phase extension of the Foshan Zheng'an wastewatertreatment plant, to meet the planned capacity requirement of 150,000 m3/d of the two districts,including associated collection network covering an area of about 40 km2. Base cost is estimatedat Yuan 225.0 million.




5. METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK

When physical investments of project components for inter-municipal component are being defined,a site/component specific EA will need to be conducted to identify and quantitatively evaluatepotential impacts in greater details, to analyse alternatives, and to plan measures for mitigatingpotential adverse impacts. The EA for each component will be conducted through the followingtasks

5.1. PRELIMINARY SCOPING OF IMPACTS

A preliminary scoping of the EIA studies associated with the proposed inter-municipal componentsof GPRDUEP should be undertaken. This preliminary scoping should help Chinese institutions incharge of EIA studies for the various components of the Project to focus more easily and moreappropriately on environmental issues which need special care and attention in preparing therelated Terms of Reference and in carrying out the Environmental Assessment. Also, it should helpin producing study reports which satisfy the requirements of the World Bank.

The EA will include considerations of the World Bank's ten safeguard policies (see Appendix 3).Those which are likely the issues with GPRDUEP will undertake a screening and, if triggered, a fullassessment. The likely application of safeguards policies in the GPRDUEP funded projectcomponents are:

5.1.1. FULL APPLICATION

* OP/BP/GP4.01, Environmental Assessment; and* OD4.30, Involuntary Resettlement.

5.1.2. SCREENING AND IF TRIGGERED, FULL APPLICATION

A screening will first be conducted for the following policies. If the screening results exceed thethresholds, a full assessment will be triggered. If the screening results do not, the application of theparticular policies in this EA will be terminated:

* OP/GP4.36, Forestry;* OP/BP4.04, Natural Habitats;* OPN1 1.03 and soon to be OP4.1 1, Cultural Property; and* OP4.09, Pest Management.

5.1.3. NOT APPLICABLE

The APL funded project components do not involve issues related to the following safeguardspolicies and they will therefore not applied in the EA.* Safety of Dams (OP/BP4.37);* Indigenous People (OD4.20);* Projects in Disputed Areas (OP/BP/GP7.60); and* Projects on International Waterways (OP/BP/GP7.50).




5.2. STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Aside from the scoping of impacts and environmental issues to be covered by the EIA, some moregeneral and strategic environmental considerations should apply in the selection of alternatives.

From the environmental point of view, the selection of the best site for VWvTP should rely on:* Residential areas: WVvTP should be as far as possible from residential areas, in order to avoid

nuisance and conflicts with surrounding population.* Access to site should be easy from large axis, and should not cross dense residential or

commercial areas. If sludge has to be disposed off by trucks, this may result in an unacceptableheavy traffic of trucks in such crowded areas.

* Size of the site should be large enough to allocate enough area for the VWWTP, for possibleextension reserve and for tree plantation around the site.

* The VWVTP site or outfall should be located as downstream as possible in order to favor a betterdilution of treated effluent, and to minimise the risk of impact on water intakes during backflowperiods in the dry season.

Among other key issues to be addressed by the EIA, the sludge management is crucial.* The VWVVTP will produce large amounts of sludge to be disposed off. According to the quality of

the sludge, and particularly with regards to its heavy metal content, it may be safely disposed onland, re-use in agriculture or tree plantation. To maintain the safety level, it will be an obligationto enforce strictly the regulation related to the discharge of industrial effluents in the sewernetwork and to propose efficient and applicable monitoring solutions. The issue of treatment,transport and disposal of WVvTP sludge should be carefully adressed by the EIA study in awider approach.

5.3. PROJECT ANALYSIS

The objective of a project analysis is to identify pollutant sources, quantity, discharge loads anddischarge routes through analysis and understanding of proposed physical investments. As such,the analysis will also determine the key factors which could potentially bring in adverse impacts ofthe projects to the surrounding biophysical and socio-economic environments, help determine thefeasibility of various mitigation measures and provide a basis for the impact assessment andmitigation planning.

The methodology used for the project analysis will include collection and review of availableinformation and existing data, particularly components planning, feasibility and other project studydocuments, analogy with similar operating projects elsewhere, for the types and intensity ofpollution, and site investigation as necessary.

5.4. ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE

Understanding of environmental baseline in the project region and project sites is critical to analyzealternative sites and evaluate the potential impacts in the later stage of the EA. The baselineconditions include existing air quality, water quality and hydrology, soil and hydro-geology, floraand fauna, acoustic conditions, and sensitive receptors such as drinking water sources, residentialareas, natural habitats, cultural properties, etc. A complete inventory of sensitive receptors in theproject area are important as they will be the focus of impact assessment and mitigation planning.

Environmental baseline data are obtained through collection of historical data, supplemented byenvironmental monitoring programs designed specifically for the project. Detailed investigations ofthe project sites and the surrounding areas are essential for understanding environmental baseline.

SOGREAH -GDM- REPORT NO 355073 PAGE 21 2004- FEBRUARY



5.5. WATER QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Dependent on the characteristics of the receiving water, a variety of 1 dimensional and/or twodimensional modelling tools will be required to analyse the impact of the discharges on surfacewater bodies in the PRD.

The 1 dimensional model will be generally used to analyse impacts at the river basin level, outsideof the mixing zone. Because of tidal effects within the PRD, this will generally consist of a coupleddynamic hydraulic-water quality model.

In general two (possibly three) dimensional models will be used to investigate impacts within themixing zone of outfalls or impacts within the estuary/bay/lakes.

The water quality model will be primarily used for assessment of project impact and should becalibrated with respect to existing conditions. The models will be applied for both high and ebbtides, during the dry season and during the emergency conditions when the wastewater treatmentmust be shut down and wastewater will be bypassed without treatment.

Water impact assessment must be closely related to the conditions and sensitivity of the receivingwater. Nature of the river side land uses, future development plan of the riverside, functioning andwater quality category designation of the receiving water bodies, locations of drinking water intakesand fish habitats, visual impacts and environmental aesthetics, etc.

Sludge disposal is probably single largest adverse environmental impact a largely beneficiarywastewater treatment project can generate. Impact assessment for wastewater treatment plantsmust include detailed assessment for sludge handling and disposal, including sludge generation,thickening and dewatering, storage, hauling, and disposal. The EA must ensure that any proposedsludge disposal option be technically mature and feasible, and economically sustainable.

5.6. NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Noise impact will be predicted by using models which have been proven to fit the project siteconditions. The results of the noise prediction modeling will be applied to determine the potentialimpacts of the project construction and operation in comparison with the applicable standards witha focus on sensitive receptors. The modeling results are particularly relevant as a reference fordevelopment of mitigation measures.

5.7. AIR QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Air emissions sources from various project facilities in both construction and operation stages willbe identified. The impact such emissions will be assessed through dispersion modeling todetermine the potential adverse impacts on the areas immediately surrounding the project areas,particularly the sensitive receptors such as schools and residential areas, as well as regionalimpacts.

5.8. BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS AND SCENERY IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The scope of the impact assessment for biological systems and scenery will include all plants andmajor scenery within 200 m of proposed sites. Impacts to trees and greens areas will bedetermined based on the potential damages or removal/occupation. The scenery assessment willbe mostly conducted through visual observations.



GUANGDONG PEARL RIVER DELTA URBAN ENVIRONMENT PROJECT DESIGN REVIEW AND ADVISORY SERVICESFRAMEWORK ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR INTER-MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE

5.9. CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Construction phase impact assessment will be conducted based on the understanding ofconstruction activities for GPRDUEP projects. For many components such as interception pipelines,sewer network upgrading, construction is the main activities which could result in adverse impactsand therefore is the focus of the impact assessment. The potential impacts will include, but notlimited to:* Air quality primarily from airborne dust caused by excavation, demolition, materials handling and

increased traffic;* Noise from construction machinery and construction trucks, particularly at night and other

sensitive time periods near the sensitive receptors;* Water quality from construction camps discharges and machinery or construction vehicle

washing; In- and near water construction could also impact the waterbodies potentially throughincreased suspended solids, oil and grease and impacts on hydrology;

* Impacts on traffic, particularly in the congested areas in the urban centers, as many of theconstruction activities would require temporary occupation of urban roads, forced them to semi-or completely closed during construction; and

* Construction materials exploration and transportation, such as sand, gravel and earth, spoiledmaterials disposal, construction camps, traffic disruption, site safety, hazardous materialshandling, etc.

5.10. MITIGATION PLANNING

Mitigation planning will be based on the result of the impact assessment. The overall objective is toavoid, reduce or minimize the adverse impacts to the acceptable levels. The general criteria foracceptable impacts will be compliance with applicable state and local discharge and/or ambientenvironmental quality standards. The mitigation measures will be developed for three stages of theproject:* Design stage: those which need to be incorporated into project engineering design, such as

noise mitigation, wastewater treatment and solid waste landfill design modifications, etc.* Construction stage: those which will be applied in the construction stage such as mitigation

measures to be implemented by contractors at the construction sties; and* Operation stage: those which will be implemented in operation stage such as those to be

implemented by the wastewater and solid waste management operation company.

The mitigation measures will cover air, noise, water, biological systems, and socio-economicsystems, and will be specific and detailed enough for implementation and supervision.

5.11. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

There will be at least two rounds of public consultation: the first round will be carried out at the EAterms of reference stage to inform the public of the project and solicit public concerns and opinions.The second stage will be at the draft EA report stage to inform the public of the results of theassessment, including assessment of issues raised by the public in the first round of consultation.Also in the second round, the mitigation measures planned for the project will be communicated tothe public, focusing on those raised by the public, to determine whether the affected and concernedpublic is satisfied with the mitigation proposed.

The major methods of public consultation will include:* Public meetings/hearings;* Interviews with selected public members or institutions; and* Public opinion polls.


GUANGDONG PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT- THE WORLD BANKGUANGDONG PEARL RIVER DELTA URBAN ENVIRONMENT PROJECT -DESIGN REVIEW AND ADVISORY SERVICES


The public consultation will focus primarily on those groups or individuals who will be directlyaffected by the project construction and operation. More specifically, these include schools, urbanresidences, rural villages, shops, institutions/office towers, and factories within the project impactedareas.

To reach the affected public, public notice for the consultation process will be distributed oradvertised to ensure those who are concerned and wish to express their opinions on theenvironmental issues of the project have the opportunities to express their thoughts. In addition, EATOR, draft report and final report, when finished, will be released and displayed in publicaccessible places for public review.

5.12. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANNING

Based on the impact assessment results and mitigation planning of an environmental managementplan will be developed for GPRDUEP funded projects covering both the construction and operationstages. The environmental management plan will have, but not limited to, the following keycomponents:* Environmental management organizations and their specific responsibilities in the GPRDUEP

project development;* Key impact mitigation measures;* Environmental monitoring programs for both construction and operation stages, focusing on

monitoring of the receiving environment of the project;* Environmental training; and* Cost estimate for environmental management.

Besides a chapter in the EIA report, a stand alone Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will beprepared as part of the EA documentation for each of the GPRDUEP projects.

This regulation replaces previous regulation DB 44/26-1989. It started to be effective from the15t January 2002. It provides standard for effluent discharge according to river classification.




2.2.1. COMMENTS ON THE REGULATION:

* Specific control area: I, II class water body and class IlIl water body for swimming, andsome protection area in class IlIl water body and Class I sea water.

* Class I reservation area: Class IlIl water body and Class II sea water;

* Class II reservation area: IV and V water body and Class IlIl and IV sea water.

For specific control areas, no new discharge point will be allowed for construction. All dischargefrom existing discharge point has to meet the Class I regulation with no increase of the totaldischarge. Class I regulation has to be met for a discharge into Class I river section. Class IIregulation has to be met for discharging into class 11 river section. A total discharge controlstrategy will be applied when the water quality of the river cannot meet its related functiontarget. When the wastewater discharges into the WWTP with secondary treatment process,Class IlIl regulation can be used for the discharge.

For projects constructed before 01/01/2002, the first periodic regulation will be used fordischarges. For project constructed after 01/01/2001, the second periodic regulation will apply.

The World Bank Group's Solid Waste Management Strategy - A Proposal for BBBudget Support (February, 2004)

Summary

This proposal is to strengthen the Bank's work in the area of Solid Waste Management,and to seek a modest level of core BB funding in two areas: (a) 3 staff-weeks of fundingto allow active participation in the Collaborative Working Group (a consortium of wastemanagement practitioners from Part 2 and Part I countries), and (b) 4 staff-weeks offunding to strengthen the Solid Waste Management Thematic Group (also called theGarbologist Club), and suppolt related thematic and learning activities.

Sectoral Overview

There are few areas that lend themselves as well to focused development work as solidwaste management does. In almost all jurisdictions solid waste management is theexclusive responsibility of local governments. Local governments are usually directed bystate/provincial or national directives, but day-to-day waste management operationalresponsibility rests with municipal staff or their designates. Solid waste management isoften the single largest component of municipal budgets and is often the city's largestemployer (formal and informal workers). Any municipality that wants to move towards a'world class city' must first and foremost deal with its garbage. This requires budgeting,fee collection, management, community consultation, and planning capacity. These skillsare all prerequisites for other municipal activities and solid waste management is usuallythe best 'first step' for a city to improve its overall quality of life, environment andeconomy.

In many cities involvement of the private sector in municipal service provision beganthrough solid waste management. Similarly, along with water supply, improvements tosolid waste management strengthens a city's ability to collect user fees and operate in afiscally sustainable manner.

The World Bank Program in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

The World Bank Group (mainly IBRD, IDA, IFC, GEF and the Prototype Carbon Fund,PCF) currently has about 120 active projects with solid waste management components.The majority of solid waste activities are integrated within a broader urban environmentor municipal improvement project -- of the 120 projects, only about seventeen are 'standalone' solid waste management projects. There are about 85 projects under supervisionwith $3.5 Billion in loan/grant commitments, and solid waste management is the maincomponent in more than half of these projects. At least 20 projects with large solid wastecomponents are now under preparation within the $4.5 Billion (minimum) UrbanEnvironment pipeline. WBI also has a SWM training program with activities in both theUrban and WSS sectors.

The World Bank's involvement in solid waste management reflects the diverse nature ofthe task. For example. at least I I sectors have active solid waste management programs;all reaions in the Bank have solid waste projects; and the projects deal with four mainareas of activity. The sectoral, regional, and thematic distributions are shown in thesethree pie charts:

Development of solid waste projects has at times been constrained by safeguard issues(siting of landfills and incinerators), the need for more operational than capital funds,land acquisition constraints for landfills, and public angst over incineration.

Proposal #l -- Support for Bank Involvement in the Collaborative Working Group

The Collaborative Working Group (CWG) on Solid Waste Management in Low-andMiddle-Income Countries is a consortium of waste management practitioners andprofessionals from the Part 2 and Part 1 countries. The CWG incorporates knowledge andexperience from municipal policy makers, local communities, NGOs, and solid wasteresearchers, donors, practitioners, consultants, and other international organizations. TheCWG has considerable strength through membership of experienced Part 2 wastespecialists and an on-going focus on the urban poor. The CWG promotes integrated andsustainable solid waste management and provides a large and credible network of solidwaste experts. The CWG was established in 1995 and the World Bank has been a keymember in its development and operations although this involvement has waned over thelast 2 years. The CWG is now looking to grow its operations and strengthen itspartnership with the World Bank.

Recommendation: The World Bank should actively participate in the CWG. This shouldinclude appointment of a focal point (with 3 sw) and continued support for CWG'sapplications for donor funds.

Proposal #2 -- Support for the Solid Waste Management Thematic Group (theGarbologist Club)

The World Bank has maintained a 'Garbologist Club' for over 10 years. The group has aninformal membership of about 12 active members (mainly working in the regions onmostly, solid waste projects) and about 40 other members who keep abreast of groupactivities. The Club used to distribute a newsletter but this was discontinued about twoyears ago. The Group meets, on average, quarterly and is most useful through informalchannels of providing immediate and relevant information to people who submit requests.The Group was merged within the Bank's overall Urban Environment Thematic Group.

This was recently changed \ ith a fe\\ separate, as well as joint. meetings with the UETG. The Group also has a \\ebsite (intei-nal and exter-nal) \\hich nox needs updating.

Given the cross-sectoral nature of solid waste projects -- involving many differentsectoral management units, 'MSW knowledge sharing requires extra effort. Broad sectorinvolvement in MSW should be continued. Primary partners are PCF, WBI. ENV andWSS; and secondary partners are IFC, HD, PSP, and ED.

Recommnencdation.: The Urban Anchor should support ongoing maintenance of theGarbologist Club through at least, 4 staff week of Senior staff, and 8 staff weeks ofadministrative support. Its tasks would include:

* develop mechanisms to assist operations in several sectors, incorporating theemerging issues and themes (see the Annex for details).

* ensure involvement of active waste management practitioners.* as part of the Urban Anchor's annual 'Urban Week', prepare a note on solid waste

management issues within the Bank's client cities. This annual note should reflecttrends in waste quantities, composition and estimated budget allocations.

* work with ENV to present to the public the Bank's position on incineration.* work with Bank managers and country directors (again in partnership with ENV)

a strategy for better addressing the Bank's safeguards requirements within urbanprojects.

Annex: Kc\ Issues and I rcnid- in Solid Waste Manlaaement

Today, citics in Part 2 CouLntr ies genei-ate abLout 350.000.000 tonnes or M,ISNV per year. orabout 3,400.000 m3 per da%. In 2025 this will likely be nearly triple. or over1,000,000.000 tonnes per year, or some 10.000.000 m3 per day.

i C1Carbon Emission Reductions: NISW is emerging as one of the most importantareas for carbon emission reductions. Cities in developing countries, throughthe Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol and the emergenceof other carbon markets, can be eligible to sell their carbon credits which canbe generated through improved MSW operations such as landfill gas recoveryand composting. On average a city of about 1,000,000 could generate arevenue stream of $500,000 per year for 14 years. Although these sums aresmall compared to overall waste management costs, they are often sufficientto modify a city's overall MSW program.

ii. Lending Program Increasing: In most regions the Bank's overall lendingprogram in solid waste management activities appears to be increasing.Increases are expected to be largest in East and South Asia and Middle Eastand North Africa. There is also a growing portfolio of IFC and PCF projects.

iii. Greater Focus on Management: Solid waste management is a managementintensive activity. Responsibility rests almost entirely with local governmentswhich usually allows them to identify key management requirements. Themanagement aspects of the service are readily transferable to other municipalactivities, especially in the areas of budget management, communityconsultation, staff development, and planning. Both higher levels ofgovernment and international finance institutions are encouraging localgovernments to focus on the management aspects of MSW.

iv. Health and Safety Aspects: Working conditions for many solid wasteemployees are often poor. This is often a reflection of attitudes more than lackof funds. This issue is even more pronounced with the working conditions ofwaste pickers. Many projects are now reviewing worker health and safetyaspects.

v. Urbanization and 'Consumerism': An urban resident produces at least twice asmuch waste as his rural counterpart (even if each has the same 'disposable'income). Urbanization across the world is accompanied by increasedconsumerism which is in turn accompanied by much higher waste generationrates. High rates of resource use and waste generation is not limited to richcountries. There is much that can and should be done to promote wasteminimization in urban areas of developing countries.

vi. Greater Municipal Autonomy and Better Municipal Finance: In most regionsdecentralization of governance tasks is occurring. As municipalities gain

vii. Focus on Urban Environment: Through issues sLich as SARS. the MillenniumDevelopment Goals. .and public health targets the role of MS"" within animpro\ed city en\ironment and quality of life is emerging. MNany new mayors,ftor example. will often focus on improvinc solid waste management since it isan effective wa\ to show citizens that action is occurring. Solid wastemana-ement and drainage are consistently rated the most important by theurban poor for municipal service areas requiring improvement. Good solidwaste management requires an integrated approach. For example. as much as50% of Jakarta's stor-m water drainage capacity is lost due to uncollectedwaste in the canals. Dengue fever in cities is partly attributed to poor wastecollection. as are many respiratory ailments occurring through burning ofwaste.

viii. Safeguard Issues and Public Input: Solid waste projects have occasionallybeen deferred or eliminated in the Bank due to perceived and real concernsover safeguard and possible public backlash issues. The safeguard issuesusually are related to landfill development, and to a less extent, incinerators.The majority of general public(international) criticism is usually directedtoward development of incinerators. In several countries, for example China,where sufficient experience exists, safeguard issues over landfills are notgenerally a problem. These lessons are readily transferable to other countries.ENV is now preparing a paper on incineration, which should present theBank's position on incineration.
