2 .1 INTRODUCTION

T e objective of the Environmental Assessment (EA) report is to identify and assess the f ture environmental impacts assoc ated with the proposed Urban Infrastructure Project in a manner that meets the requirl ments of the World Bank. The proposed Urban Ir frastructure Project is anticipatec to provide funds for financing the costs of priority irvestments, designed to address tl e most urgent issues faced by key municipal service s ctors, including water supply, sew rage, and solid waste management.

T he need for the Urban Infrastruq ure Project in Kharkiv is substantial and has many d mensions, key of them being tt e promotion of socio-economic development in an e vironmentally sustainable manne

This report presents the results of pi liminary environmental assessment of each project in Kharkiv, proposed for the World Eank funding, with particular focus on the potentially s gnificant impacts of these projects nd options for mitigating them.

According to the Terms of Referen e, and in order to ensure compliance with World Bank environmental policies (OP/BP/GP 4.01), the Environmental Assessment should be carried o ut in compliance with the EA requil ments for Category A projects.

The existing situation in Kharkiv with respect to drinking water supply, wastewater c Dllection and treatment, and solid N/aste management is first described before the need f r proposed developments is cc nsidered. The development proposals and existing environmental features are describbd to allow the assessment of environmental impacts and identification of mitigation optio s.

6 C,onsultation has taken place with ,arious stakeholders, and feedback is summarized in ection IV of this report.

General Information on the City d Kharkiv

Kharkiv is a major industrial, cientific and cultural centre in Ukraine, and the Edministrative centre of Kharkiv 0 last. Economically, it is associated with the Donetsk- l nipro Economic Region. Kharkiv has a cross-border location with respect to two . eographic zones (Forest-Steppe a nd Steppe), both classified as arid. Kharkiv has three r vers (Lopan, Kharkiv, and Udy), v ith their confluence located within the city boundaries. v 1he Udy River is the tributary of the Siversky Donets River. 1 he climate in the area is typically oontinental, with long but relatively mild winter, and hot summer. Mean annual temperature is at 6.9 °C. The coldest months are January (-7.1 0C) end February (-6.7 °C), and the wirmest months are June (19.5 °C), July (20.5 0C) and / ugust (19.4 °C). Mean annual pr cipitation is about 522 mm, with its major proportion ( 352 mm) falling during the warm sqason, from April through October. Local wind pattern can be characte zed as follows: . Eastern and south-eastern wind are predominant in winter; . Western and north-western win are predominant in summer; Idean annual wind velocity is 4.33 n/s, with the 20-year maximum probable wind velocity teing at 22 m/s. The wind velocity P ad is about 30 kg-s/m2 Slow cover sefttles in early Decemb r and melts in late March, with mean thickness being at 20 cm, and normalized snow cver mass ranging between 95 to 100 kg/i 2. frost pe netration depths are at 1.0 m on tte average, and 1.1 m at the maximum.

Kl arkiv occupies the area of approx mately 305 ki 2, lying on the slightly undulating plain, di sected by river valleys and gorge . Surface elevations in relation to the sea level range be tween 90 to 192 m.

Kl arkiv has a population of about .5 million. It has been, and still is, one of the most important regions in Ukraine for in strial development, particularly for machine-building in ustry. Kharkiv's economic activi es include power engineering, tractor construction, machine-building, aircraft constru ion, chemistry, metal fabrication, forestry, wood p ocessing, tannery, food processin, construction industry.

B ing a major conurbation and entre of industrial activity, Kharkiv needs serious iniprovements in its municipal infra ructure, including water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, and solid waste management, in order to ensure its sustainable de velopment and maintain a althy environment. The achievement of these iniprovements requires large-scale pital investments and, given the scope of investment re quirement, loans provided by the international financial institutions are seen as a very in portant mechanism, particularly uring the transitional period, in which the municipal s ctor moves towards commercial i ependence.

F rther sections of this report de cribe the proposed improvements and present the re suits of their environmental asses ment.

NOTE: This investment optio has been withdrawn from the project 3. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE JANAGEMENT

3.1. Existing Situation

T e need for developing an effe ive and sustainable MSW management system in K arkiv, which has a 1'.5 million population, is substantial and demonstrated by the g nerally poor state of every aspec of current waste management system. The Kharkiv C ty and Oblast Administrations h ve consolidated their efforts in order facilitate the p ogress towards a more sustainab e waste management arrangement. The Kharkiv City Waste Management Strategy and Iction Plan have been approved by the City Council. T ese documents identify and prior ise actions that need to be taken in order to improve tt e existing waste management sy tem through a combination of technical, institutional a d organizational measures. Key p oposed improvements are listed below: a Purchase of 60 waste collection ehicles; . Purchase of 7,000 waste collecti n containers.

F:r the description of Kharkiv City climate, geology and geomorphology please see the * eneral Information on the City of Kliarkiv in the Introduction Section of the report. 3.. Proposed Investment Proje4t A mentioned above, the proposed mprovements for municipal solid waste management system are:

Purchase of 60 waste collection V hicles; . Purchase of 7,000 waste collectic n containers.

Tt is would help improve the collect on aspect of existing waste management system in Kl arkiv by enhancing the capacity 1bir MSW collection and delivery to the existing MSW lai dfill. Pi rchase of 60 waste collection veh ls: It is proposed to purchase and o erate a new collection vehicle fleet, consisting of d mestically manufactured vehicles This option is considered to be most affordable and e onomical due to a relatively lovO price range of Ukrainian waste collection vehicles (4 ,000 to 72,000 USD). Taking in account the significant size of purchase order, and tir ne required for tendering and elivery, the estimated timeframe for this project c imponent is about 80 weeks. P eliminary technical characteristics of locally manufactured collection vehicles, using the MAZ-533702 chassis, are provided t elow: . High compaction ratio (up to 1:6) achieved due to the use of pushing plate; . High-quality hydraulic load-handl ng system; .

Ir accordance with the World Bank 's Operational Policy on Environmental Assessment, th e proposed infiltration intake proje t is rated as an environmental category B in terms of it.,; environmental impacts and their significance.

3.3.1. Physical Impact

T le potential physical impacts to th environment are likely to be associated with waste- re lated traffic. However, the propos d waste collection vehicle and container type appears tc be adequate in terms of ensuring that potential environmental impacts of their operation a e kept at an acceptable level, whi ch does not affect the ecological equilibrium and the sl ate of environment.

T e proposed project design corr Irises a suite of mitigation measures, identified in a ,cordance with existing legislatior and designed to minimize the impact on air quality, water resources, soils and tree pkl ntations in the process of equipment operation and r aintenance.

A tmospheric Effects: T e proposed project includes adeq late measures for minimization and prevention of dust ai d exhaust gas emission during t e operation of waste collection service, which will be c mpliant with existing regulatiol s. There is a provision for proper control and . rr aintenance of vehicles, operating . t the site.

V/ater Resources: Vater-related mitigation measures ei ainly involve the provision for adequate maintenance a id cleaning of container sites and imely collection of waste in order to avoid the overflow o containers.

L nd Resources: Similarly, the provision for adequatc paving, maintenance and timely cleaning of container si tes is designed to minimize the im act on soil. Where necessary, restoration programme will be developed and implemented ollowing the organization of container sites.

3 3.2. Social Impact

T he proposed project is expected to produce visible improvements in the quality and o -ganization of MSW collection se vice. New container capacity will enable the gradual e (tension of existing separate wast ! collection initiatives in different areas of Kharkiv, and p oposed collection vehicle capa( ity will enable the increased frequency of waste c Ilections and avoid the overflo of waste in containers. No human resettlement re quirement is involved in the projecl. 3 4. Review of Alternative Optio s

By increasing the collection vehicle and container capacity, the progress will be made in implementing the City' Waste Man gement Strategy, especially in terms of achieving an improved level of waste collection s rvice and minimizing the adverse impact.of waste on th e environment.

B sed on the above, the proposed Froject appears to be a preferable option relative to the e isting situation.

3 5. Environmental ManagemenL Plan

3 5.1. Brief Description of Key En ironmental Issues

T e potential environmental impactp are likely to be associated with the operation of waste c llection vehicles and containers p rchased as part of the proposed project. Noise and di st are likely to be generated by co lection vehicles. In the event of disruption in collection se rvice, container site may becore a nuisance, being overflowed with waste. Where c ntainer lids are kept open, waste Oan easily mix with rainwater, accelerating the leachate g neration.

T e City regulation requires the cc struction provision of a special paved site for each waste container, in order to provide better containment for containerised waste.

3.5.2. Mitigation and Monitoring Ti e detailed mitigation and monito ing programme will be developed at a later stage of p oject implementation, though in general terms, the most effective form of mitigation a ainst adverse impacts, associate with the provision of waste collection service, is to e isure a high level of service management, especially with regard to collection fr quencies, container/vehicle fleet r aintenance, container site cleaning and maintenance.

Proposed environmental performat ce indicators and monitoring parameters for MSW management system are provided ir Annex 8.2.

I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES

T ie regulatory compliance effort of 8n implementing organization should be supported and a sisted by relevant regulatory autt orities. The Environmental Management Plan will be ir iplemented by the Borrower in or er to ensure compliance with existing environmental ar d sanitary regulations in the pr cess of implementing the proposed water supply, w stewater collection and solid wa te management improvements in Kharkiv. Relevant e ecutive authorities will be respon ible for overall control and supervision of construction ar d operation of all proposed fa Ilities. The day-to-day supervision of environmental p rformance will be part of the desig i/construction supervision process.

T ere is no plan for the involvement f non-governmental organizations in the independent monitoring of the project.

5. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

In accordance with the World Bar k requirement, the public consultation process was o0ganized as part of the environm Erntal assessment, in order to discuss the proposed ur ban infrastructure development pr jects with various stakeholder groups in Kharkiv. This p iblic consultation involved two stag is.

Conclusions

A set of very important and interest ng issues/comments/opinions were identified/received a s a feed-back from interested anc project-affected groups, in particular, potential Grant Recipients, NGOs and general put lic. All comments have been taken into account and p roperly addressed during the prept ration of EA reports.

The feedback received from the p| lic consultations has proved invaluable in assessing tl e following aspects of the propose projects:

* Compliance of planned inS stment projects with the Ukrainian environmental legislation and regulations; * Completeness of available inf rmation on the current environmental situation; * Current environmental permi ng status of each proposed project; U * Completeness of available nformation on the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed nvestment project implementation; * Adequacy of proposed mitiga tion measures in terms of ensuring the environmental safety and sustainability; * Acceptability of potential envit nmental impacts and environmental feasibility of each * proposed project;

;f., * Need for additional envir nmental information or clarification of available environmental data.

1'he feedback received from variouX stakeholder groups was one of a strong support to the p roposed projects in Kharkiv and Kharkiv Oblast. Their implementation is expected to Mrovide much needed improvement in water supply, waste water collection/treatment and . olid waste management sectors. hese improvements would facilitate the provision of c ood quality services to populatio and compliance with the national and international tandards. The proposed projects would provide social benefits to the populations of Kharkiv, Chuguev, Izium and Kup ansk by improving the quality and reliability of vital services.

1'he projects will not cause involunt^ ry resettlement of population.

f 'heir potential physical impacts on ocal geology, climate, air quality, fauna, water bodies, soil, vegetation cover, and existinC utilities/infrastructure are likely to be minimal, being Im ited to the construction phase.

1'he existing situation in water su ply, waste water collection/treatment and solid water rianagement sector is critical, and tould deteriorate even further if the proposed projects v ere not implemented. This would reatly increase the risk of major disruption in service provision and collapse of municipal nfrastructure.
