Detailed Terms of Reference 7.1 General The Morupule B Power Station includes the construction and operation of a coal-fired power plant with a capacity of 600 MW (4x150 MW) together with any necessary affiliated infrastructure. The international financing process for the Project requires an Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) eligible for the national and international approval and acceptance. Subject of the ESlA shall be the Project as well as any necessary affiliated infrastructure, excluding: - the transmission line - the water supply pipeline - the water wellfield (for supply of raw process water) It is expected that the investigation area for the ESlA and the issues to be considered in the ESlA will cover a radius of approx. 10,000 m. The definition of the investigation area is based on the "German Technical Guideline Air (TA Lufi)". This guideline recommends an investigation area around a single point emission source in a radius of 50 times of the expected stack height. Considering a possible needed stack height of approx. 200 m, an investigation area of 10,000 m around the plant site seems to be appropriate. The ESlA shall be prepared under the consideration of the applicable EIA guidelines of the World Bank and of the Republic of Botswana. The following documents shall be considered: International: - World Bank Operational Policy 4.01 (and annexes), dated January 1999, revised August 2004 - Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook of the WORLD BANK GROUP, dated July 1998 - Equator Principles, dated July 2006 National: - Environmental lm~actAssessment Act 2005 - Guideline for conducting EIA Studies for the Energy Industry under the EIA Act 2005 The following documents will be made ava~lableto the Consultant: Topographical survey (under preparation) Geo-technical investigation (under preparation) Final scoping report, dated 21.12.2004 Review report of final scoping report (under preparation) Existing soil investigation report, Morupule Power Project, Phase 2, Site Investigation Report, Revision November 1985 Groundwater Pollution Monitoring at Morupule Power Station, Annual Report for 2005, Final Plant design criteria document 7.2 Project Boundary Limits and Interfaces Beside the above defined ESlA investigation area, the project will have the following project boundary limits and interfaces: - the transmission line (EIA finalised) - the water wellfield (ESIA under execution) Botswana Power Corporation Morupule B Power Station ESlA Study Date: March 2007 Page 2 1-48 This means, that the impact evaluation of the projects mentioned above will be part of the impact evaluation of the Project, but will be taken from the existing reports and from the report currently under preparation respectively. The mentioned report for the transmission line will be handed-over to the Consultant during the kick-off-meeting. The interim results of the ESlA for the water wellfield will be provided to the Consultant during the kick-off-meeting. The actual status and the status foreseen to be handed-over during the kick-off-meeting will be subject of a clarification to be provided by BPC to all Consultants. 7.3 Scoping & Public Consultation A ESlA scoping exercise was executed in 2004 for the Project. The final scoping report, dated 21.12.2004, will be handed over to the Consultant during the kick-off-meeting. Therefore, a new scoping exercise will not be necessarv to be conducted by the Consultant. The public was informed about the Project approximately 3 years ago. The Consultant is requested to update the project information by conducting public hearings. Two public hearing sessions should be executed: the first hearing session during the initial stage of the project (0-4 weeks) the second meeting after preparation and submission of the final report (date to be agreed between BPC and the Consultant) Subject of the first hearing should be to inform the residents and inhabitants about the technical project components, the environmental baseline conditions and of the agreed scope of work. Subject of the second meeting should be to inform the residents and inhabitants about the final results of the study and about the foreseen mitigation and monitoring measures. The Consultant is requested to outline the lump sum fixed price for the public hearing sessions within the overall lump sum fixed price for the ESIA. The consultation of public authorities should be done during the establishment of baseline conditions. The Consultant is requested to quote for the preparation for the hearings but excluding meeting arrangements as this will be done by BPC. 7.4 Scope of Work The ESlA shall be prepared considering the structure and content as outlined in World Bank Operational Policy OP 4.01 and its annexes and as outlined in the Botswana EIA Act 2005. In case of any discrepancies the World Bank OP 4.01 shall be the main reference document. The scope of work shall consider the following tasks and subjects: 7.4.1 Investigation of applicable policy, legal and administrative framework The Consultant shall investigate, collect and discuss the applicable policy, legal and administrative framework within which the ESlA will be carried out. The task shall consider the applicable national and international requirements and shall identify the relevant international environmental agreements to which the Republic of Botswana is a party. Botswana Power Corporatron Morupule B Power Station ESlA Study Date: March 2007 Page 22-48 The Consultant shall discuss in detail the applicable and relevant national and international (e.g. World Bank, IFC and WHO) environmental limit values and standards and shall highlight the more stringent values which shall apply for the impact assessment. 7.4.2 Project description The Consultant shall concisely describe the Project and the geographic, ecological, social and temporal context, incl. any offsite investments that may be required (e.g. dedicated pipelines, access roads, water supply, housing and product storage facilities. The Consultant shall additionally describe the Project from the technical point of view. The project description shall consider the following issues as a minimum: Energy sources Transmission system General design and extent of electric power transmission General layout of facilities at project related development sites Flow diagrams for facilities, operations design basis, size and capacity Pre-construction activities, construction activities, operation and maintenance
