  • Appendix A: Key Stakeholder Consultations
    APPENDIX A: KEY STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS Preinception Visit Ministry of Population and Environment (MoPE) Basic details Location: Kathmandu, MoPE Office Village: Kathmandu District: Kathmandu Date: December 4, 2017 Purpose of the visit: To introduce the Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA) for Trishuli River Basin and request for information from MoPE on upcoming policy initiatives and suggestions on VECs and key stakeholders (national level) to be included in the assessment. Key points discussed • MoPE is presently involved in finalizing the General Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Guidelines for approval by the Council of Ministers (update of 1993, likely to be in place in January 2018). • Aware of the EIA Guidelines for Hydropower: This will be taken up once the general guidelines are approved. • While cumulative impacts have not been specifically considered under the guidelines, there is a generic mention of climate change impacts as well as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF). • EFlows: 10% minimum lean season flow requirements are driven by the Ministry of Energy. This requirement has a strong push by the Independent Power Producers (IPP) lobby. MoPE is aware that the hydropower guidelines recommend that the EFlows must be linked to the basin’s hydrology and downstream users. • Fish Pass: Not mandatory as per the existing and revised guidelines—this is a lender’s requirement. • MoPE is likely to merge with the Forests, Soil and Conservation Ministry and the population component will be merged into the Ministry of Health. • Initial Environment Examinations (IEE) and EIA requirements: • No approvals required for hydro projects less than 1 megawatt (MW). • Projects of 1 to 50 MW must undertake an IEE, which is reviewed and approved by the Department of Electricity Development (DoED).
