The proposed project is being sponsored and implemented by the Lebanese Government through the Council of Development and Reconstruction (CDR). The CDR is seeking to finance the proposed project through a loan from the World Bank. The environmental procedures of the World Bank mandate preparation of an EA as an integral element of the project preparation and design process. The Consultant has prepared an Environmental Assessment for the proposed project consistent with the requirements for a CategoryA project under the procedures of the World Bank. The BUTP is a sequel of the Greater Beirut Area Transportation Plan (GBATP) which was completed in 1995 for the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) by the Joint Venture of TEAM International, IAURIF, and SOFRETU. Based on extensive survey work and modeling, GBATP established a transport plan with short-tern and long-term recommendations. The measures proposed for the short-term were entitled the Immediate Action Plan (LAP). IAP aims at restoring tolerable traffic conditions. The BUTP is actually an elaboration of the IAP. For the long-term (horizon 2015) two contrasted scenarios were tested. The first prioritizes road network development, while the second integrates the construction of a rapid mass transit system in the dense areas of the agglomeration. The two scenarios have been extensively tested and an optimal scenario was defined. Computer simulations demonstrate that in the absence of a modem mass transit system, meeting future transport needs of the Greater Beirut Area (GBA) will remain an illusion. GBATP long-term proposals include a mass transit network that provides all inhabitants of the dense agglomeration with a mass transit line on its own right-of-way less than 1 km from home. This translates to: A commuter rail link (38 Km), two metro lines (32 Km), three bus lines on dedicated roadways, a complementary bus network, and mltimodal exchange facilities.The proposed mass transit investmenthas been estimated at US $ 2.5 billion. The GBATP long-term road network includes a network 248 Km long. It includes the Ring Road (Peripherique) located at the limits of the urban agglomerationextending from Khaldeh to Antelias (18 Km), five long distance motorways linking Beirut to the rest of the country, seven urban penetrators ensuring the primary linking of the urban agglomeration with the Ring Road, a network of expressways (23 Km) and modem boulevards (122 Km) ensuring the secondary servicing of Greater Beirut Area. Half of the proposed road network is composed of already existing roads or an upgrade of existing ones. The investment cost of the long-term road network has been evaluated at US $ 4 billion. The proposed Beirut Urban Transport Project (BUTP) would provide the fundamental urban transport apparatus needed to address the extremely diverse and complex transport issues the city faces, and support selected immediate actions of the GBATP. There are several key issues which must be immediately addressed to improve the operational and economic efficiency of the GBA urban transport system including: 64ODebvcrabwblIeDe. sum Muv 2000 BEIRUT URBAN TRANSPORT PROJECT - PREPARATORY STULDY EA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY o Traffic Management; O Network Capacity; and o Parking Provision and Controls. While transport planning and public transport are beyond the scope of the BUTP, the proposed operation would serve as the foundationtowards that purpose. EA Objectives The objectives of the EA include providing a sound basis for decision-making about the design of the project components that takes environmental considerations into account. ensuring that the project is implemented with full awareness of environmental factors, inforning the public when and how the project implementationmay affect their environment, and facilitatiQgthe public participation in the decision-makingprocess. EA Scope of Work The scope of work of the EA included the definition of current policies, legal and administrative framework related to the transport sector in Lebanon; the definition of existing environmental conditions in the GBA; the identification and analysis of potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures; the definition and analysis of potential alternatives; the development of environmental monitoring and management plans; and the solicitation of public participationregarding the entire project. EA Procedures and Guidelines Since there are currently no approved EnvironmentalAssessment procedures in Lebanon, the study has been conducted in accordance to with the provisions of World Bank Operational Directive 4.01, "Environmental Assessment." The proposed Project has been subject to an environmental screening process by the Govermnent of Lebanon and the World Bank and placed in Category

  • Greater Beirut Water Supply Project Additional Finance Addendum to the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
    Greater Beirut Water Supply Project Additional Finance Addendum to the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment I. Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized The Greater Beirut Water Supply Project (GBWSP; Project ID: P103063) was approved on December 16, 2010 and was effective on December 4, 2012. The current closing date is June 30, 2019. There are two implementation agencies – Beirut Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (BMLWE) and Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR). The total project amount is US$370 million, of which the IBRD credit amount is US$200 million and the co-financing from BMLWE and the Government of Lebanon is US$ 140 million and US$ 30 million, respectively. 51.19 percent of the IBRD credit is already disbursed. Project Description GBWSP’s Project Development Objective (PDO) is to ‘increase the provision of potable water to the residents in the project area within the Greater Beirut region, including those in the low- Public Disclosure Authorized income neighborhoods of Southern Beirut, and to strengthen the capacity of the BMLWE in utility operations”. The GBWSP has three components: 1. Bulk Water Supply Infrastructure (total cost: $236 million; IBRD contribution $187.55 million). This component comprises (a) the construction and construction supervision of bulk water supply infrastructure consisting of (i) two water tunnel conveyors of 3 km and 21 km respectively; (ii) two transmission twin pipelines of 7.6 km and 2.7 km respectively; (iii) three storage reservoirs of 35,000 cubic meters (cum), 50,000 cum, and 20,000 cum; (b) design, construction and construction supervision of a water treatment plant (WTP) of 250,000 cum a day Public Disclosure Authorized capacity; (c) all related equipment, including pumps and valves; and (d) support to CDR for project management related to the above.

  • Preliminary Assessment Waste Management
    Executive Summary 1 The purpose of this report is to make a preliminary assessment of green jobs potentials in the waste management sector in Lebanon, including solid waste management, hazardous waste management and wastewater treatment. This report provides an overview of waste management in Lebanon, considers potentials for greening the sector, and estimates current and future green jobs in waste management. The current state of the waste management sector in Lebanon is far from ideal. Collection activities are fairly advanced when it comes to municipal solid waste, but insufficient for wastewater, and totally lacking for hazardous waste. Currently only two-thirds of the total generated solid waste undergoes some form of treatment, while the remainder is discarded in open dumpsites or directly into nature. Moreover, wastewater treatment is insufficient and Lebanon currently lacks any effective strategy or system for dealing with most hazardous waste. Incrementally, the sector is nonetheless changing. In recent years green activities such as sorting, composting and recycling have become more common, advanced medical waste treatment is being developed, and several international organisations, NGOs and private enterprises have launched initiatives to green the sector and reduce its environmental impact. Also large-scale governmental initiatives to close down and rehabilitate dumpsites and construct new waste management facilities and wastewater treatment plants are currently being planned or implemented, which will have a considerable impact in greening the waste management sector in Lebanon. In this report, green jobs in waste management are defined as jobs providing decent work that seek to decrease waste loads and the use of virgin resources through reuse, recycling and recovery, and reduce the environmental impact of the waste sector by containing or treating substances that are harmful to the natural environment and public health.

  • Alfred Basbous
    ALFRED BASBOUS Alfred Basbous was born in Rachana, Lebanon in 1924. His first exhibition in Beirut, at the Alecco Saab gallery in 1958, marked the beginning of a long and successful career as a sculptor. In 1960, he received a scholarship from the French government and became a pupil of the sculptor René Collamarini at ‘The National Fine Arts School in Paris’ (L’Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris). In 1961, his works were included in the International Sculpture Exhibition at the Musée Rodin, in Paris. From 1994 to 2004, Basbous organized the International Symposium of Sculpture in Rachana, Lebanon, where famous sculptors from around the world were invited to create, sculpt and exhibit their works alongside his own. Throughout his life, Basbous won many awards including the “Prix de l’Orient” in Beirut in 1963 and the price of Biennale in Alexandria in 1974. When he died in 2006, the President of the Lebanese Republic, in order to honor him, awarded him the “Medal of the Lebanese Order of Merit in Gold.” Basbous’s works express a lifelong exploration of the human form and its abstract properties. Focused on the aesthetic principles of shape, movement, line and material, his sculptures display a deeply ingrained sincerity and a search for the essence of beauty. Working in the tradition of sculptors such as Jean Arp, Constantin Brâncuși and Henry Moore, Alfred Basbous explores the potential of noble materials such as bronze, wood and marble to express the sensuality and purity of the human form. This aversion towards frivolous and meaningless embellishments echoes his own philosophy of simplicity and earnestness.
