The design organization PC “Loyiha Maslahat” was developed the detailed design documents on improvement of water supply system in Kokand city, which is the first stage of implementation of Tranche 2 project. This subproject provides: (i) construction of downhole water intake “Tulyash”; (ii) rehabilitation of Water distributing center “Ming-tut”; (iii) construction of trunk main “Tulyash” up to WDC “Ming-tut” and up to Kokand city. The initial social assessment was conducted to identify social impacts of the proposed water supply subproject for Kokand City. The LARP was prepared for component (iii), construction and rehabilitation of water supply facilities for Kokand city, in March 2010, when the project at the feasibility study stage. Therefore updated LARP was required to be prepared at the Detailed Design stage. This update LARP is prepared by taking into account all changing of the designed, and all consequences related to land acquisition. These changes are summarized as follow: Changing on detailed project component and impacts associated with land acquisition LARP March 2010 Update LARP October 2011 CHANGING PROJECT DESIGN: 1 Rehabilitate 14 existing wells at Ming-Tut well No change field to supply 37,50 m3/day of water; 2 Construct 12 new wells in Tulyash to supply Construct only 9 wells in Tulyash to 47,000 m³/day of water supply 62,560 m³/day of water 3 Construct 9.3 km of 800 mm diameter raw Construct 12.1 km of 800 mm diameter water transmission from Tulyash to Mig-Tut raw water transmission from Tulyash to WDC and to Kokand water distribution Mig-Tut WDC and to Kokand water network distribution network 4 Rehabilitate WDC “Ming-Tut”, including Rehabilitate WDC “Ming-Tut”, the storage reservoirs, structures and including the storage reservoirs, buildings, install new pumps and structures and buildings, install new chlorination unit and replace all pumps and chlorination unit and mechanical, electrical and control replace all mechanical, electrical and systems, with capacity of 84 000 m3/day; control systems, with capacity of 100 000 m3/day; 5 Replace 66.7 kms of corroded and leaking Replace 60.6 kms of corroded and pipe in the Kokand distribution system; leaking pipe in the Kokand distribution system; 6 Construct 3.9 kms of new distribution Construct 10.8 kms of new pipe, to expand the water system distribution pipe, to expand the water coverage in Kokand to 100% of the 2025 system coverage in Kokand to 100% urban population of 315,000 of the 2025 urban population of 315,000. CHANGING ON IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH LAND ACQUISITION 1 Construction of 12 new wells in Tulyash Construction of 9 wells in Tulyash requires 2 hectares of land, and affected 2 requires 3.2 hectares of land, and farmers affected 3 farmers 2 Construction of 9.3 km of water supply Construction of 12.1 km of water supply transmission pipeline will require temporarily transmission pipeline will require 2.55 hectares land during construction, and temporarily 16.16 hectares land during affected 5 farmers construction, and affected 30 farmers The objectives of the proposed LARP are: (i) to identify the project impact on the population or/and community in terms of loss of assets, livelihood and income; (ii) to outline measures to mitigate the adverse impact; and (iii) provide an estimate for budgetary allocation for compensation of loss of assets and resettlement benefits. And if required, for loss of income & livelihood, according to principles and guidelines provided in the entitlement matrix prepared for UZB: WSS Services Improvement Investment Program. The proposed water supply subproject includes: Rehabilitate 14 existing wells at Ming-Tut well field to supply 37,50 m3/day of water; Construct 9 new wells at Tulyash well field to supply 62,56 m3/day of water; Construct 12.1 km of Ø800 mm raw water trunk main from Tulyash up to WDC “Ming- Tut” and further to Kokand city; Rehabilitate WDC “Ming-Tut”, including the storage reservoirs, structures and buildings, install new pumps and chlorination unit and replace all mechanical, electrical and control systems, with capacity of 100 000 m3/day; Replace 60.6 kms of corroded and leaking pipe in the Kokand distribution system; Construct 10.8 kms of new distribution pipe, to expand the water system coverage in Kokand to 100% of the 2025 urban population of 315,000. For construction of 9 new wells at “Tulyash” water intake the decision of Khokimiyat of Uzbekistan district of Fergana Oblast allocates 3.2 hectares of agricultural land permanently. As a result of this two farmers’ households will loss permanently 1.5 hectare of irrigated land each, and one farmers will loss 0.2 hectares, which are presently cultivated/planted with cotton and wheat. Construction of new 12.1 kms water supply trunk main will temporarily affect the 8.3 hectares of farmland planted to wheat, cotton and 10.78 hectares of households’ lands with trees and fruit trees. Total affected farmers and households of Tulyash Settlement and Kizilbog Settlement is – 30, including 8 – farmers and 22 – households. Rehabilitation of 60.6 kms of existing distributing networks will not have adverse social impact since replacement of pipes will be located at existing areas allocated to vodakanal or to the Khokimiyat’s right-of way. The remaining activities will not have any impacts on land acquisition and resettlement of the communities in the project areas as the project activities will be conducted in the existing sites, within the existing right of way or under the road.
