INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTPROCESS APPLIED TO BANK AND IDA PROPOSED PROJECTS
In October 1989 the Bankcestablished a specific policy and procedures for environmental assessment and related environmentalanalyses of IBRD and IDA lending operations. Under this environmentalassessment process, the type, timing and main issues of environmentalanalysis to be performedby the borrower are to be confirmedat the time that a givenlending operation is initiatedinto the Bank's prospective lending program and thereafter reported and updated on a quarterly basis in the MonthlyOperational Summary.
In October 1991 the Bank revisedits policiesand proceduresso that projects are now assignedone of the followingcategories based upon the nature, magnitude,and sensitivityof environmentalissues:
CategoryA - EnvironmentalAssessment is normallyrequired as the project may have adverseand significantenvironmental impacts.
CategoryB - More limited environmentalanalysis is appropriate, as the project may have specificenvironmental impacts.
CategoryC - Environmentalanalysis is normallyunnecessary.
"U" (unclassified)is beingintroduced to indicatestructural and sectoraladjustment loans, whichdo not fall within one of the above three categories for purposes of the directive governingenvironmental assessment.
The 1991 revisionalso introducedthe use o'f a standard environmentaldata sheet for all projects to identifythe main issuesand schedulefor any requiredenvironmental analysis.
Project descriptionsin every issue of the MonthlyOperational Summary include the environmental category A, B, or C, except in the case of structural and sectoral adjustmentloans which are designated "U". On a quarterly basis (in the January, April, July and October issues) the Monthly Operational Summarycontains an environmentalannex which includesthe environmentaldata sheets for CategoryA projects, data sheet headers for CategoryB projects, and a listingof projects in CategoriesC and T ("to be determiined").

BUSINESSOPPORTUNITIES
Borrowing countries through their implementingagencies have full responsibility for the design and implementation of World Bank-financed projects, including the hiring of consultants and procurement of goods and works. Many contracts for consulting services, as well as some for goods and works, are procured prior to loan/credit approval (advance contracting). Contracts for consulting services, unlike those for goods and works, are not usually advertised.
Therefore, consultants, in particular, should contact the responsible implementing agency early in the project preparation period to express their possible interest in providing the services described in the MOS. The information in the MOS is intended to be adequate to enable consultants to assess their possible interest. Further information, if needed, should be requested of the implementing agency. The likelihood of a timely response is enhanced if the queries are brief and to the point.
Firms should contact the World Bank (preferably by fax) only if they are unable to obtain a response from the implementingagency.
General information about business opportunities under Bank loans/credits may be obtained from the World Bank Business Affairs Adviser at fax number (202) 334-0003.
ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT THE MOS
1. Addresses of Implementing Agencies of new projects are given in Section VII of the Summary.
2. The amount is in millions of US dollars and is approximate and tentative. SAF is the acronym for the Special Facility of Sub-Saharan Africa.
3. The letter (N) before projects means that the project is a new listing in the summary; the letter (R) means the information about the project has been revised since the last issue.
4. The Stage of Processing and Action on Procurement column contains available information, if any, about action with respect to the procurement of goods and services expected to be financed by the Bank or IDA, including retroactive financing; expenditures under the IBRD/IDA project.

MAJOR PROJECT COMPONENTS: a) Constructionof a rockfill dam 171 m high, 1370 m crest length and 56 mcm of fill; b) constructionof a hydropower station with total capacity of 1800 MW; c) resettlementof 150,000 people in the two provinces of Shanxi and Henan; and d) constructionof additionalworks for river channel stabilization.
MAJOR ENVIRONMENTALISSUES:
The project will have very significantenvironmental benefits. It will provide immediate flood protection for about 4 million people, increasing the water supply for cities of about 15 million people, reduce sediment deposition in the lower reaches of the river; firm up irrigation for 1 million ha; and generate a portion of the peak power needs of Henan and China's central region. The project will increase the safety of some 100 million people downstream from catastrophicfloods. The major environmental issue relates to the resettlementof 150,000 people who live in the reservoir area, over a 15-year period. Dams of this size generallyhave many other negative impacts on downstream fisheries, water quality, health, etc. However, the Yellow River has the highest silt load of any major river in the world. With this dam, silt load will be dramaticallyreduced, low flows will be increased, and water quality improved. The downstream drainage conditions will be improved by less periodic flooding. Hence, the health effects downstreamwill improve, and because of less silt and increased low flows, the estuary and river fisherieswill be improved quite dramatically. Other environmentalimpacts of the dam are relatively minor.

MAJOR ENVIRONMENTALISSUES:
Current levels of air, water and hazardous waste pollution from industry have created a significantthreat to the population and natural environment of Chongqing Municipality(CM). Air pollution is largely the result of iron and steel production,nonferrous metallurgy,organic chemical industries,commercial and residentialuses of inferior coal/high sulphur and ash, and transport vehicles utilizing high leaded fuels, or diesel fuels with inferior pollution characteristics. Water pollution results from a variety of industry point sources (ferrous,nonferrous metallurgy, food, textile, paper, machinery), municipa' sewage, and agriculturalsources (nutrients, pesticides, etc.). Hazareous wastes (liquid/solid)are generated primarily by ferrous/nonferrousmetallurgy, organic synthesis (chemicalsand pharmaceutical). The stee'.sector is considered a priority polluter of air, water and solid wastes.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTALISSUES:
Reform of the municipal environmentalregulatory system and structure, relative priorities of pollution sources from the municipal, transport and commercial sectors.
PROPOSED ACTIONS:
Studies were conducted during project preparation to: (a) establish a more rational regulatory framework to control industrialpollution affecting air, water and soil; (b) fully characterizeindustrial wastewater discharges and industrial hazardous waste management practices; (c) design appropriate air and water quality monitoring networks; and (d) link air quality issues to public health in CM. An overall pollution control plan for the steel sector in CM has been developed. Technical assistancewill be provided to Chongqing EnvironmentalProtection Bureau (CEPB) to: (a) prepare an industrialpollution control action plan; (b) establish and operationalize and environmentalaudit unit (training,monitoring equipment, consultant services); (c) strengthen enforcementcapabilities (source monitoring n-l I-26

equipment,training); and (d) establish a true environmentalbaseline (continuous air quality monitoring network). These elements will provide the basis for CEPB to develop a rational strategy for industrialpollution control in CM.
Relocation/modernizationof a priority polluting steel making enterprise will provide marked improvementsto air and water quality.
JUSTIFICATION/RATIONALEFOR ENVIRONMENTALCATEGORY:
Relocationof major industrialfacility requires appropriate in-depth analysis of potential environmentalimpacts. The feasibilitystudy will also look at whether relocationof industrialfacility involves any resettlementor land acquisitionand resettlementaction plans will be prepared if required. REPORTING SCHEDULE:
CEPB (EA unit) and the enterpriseare responsiblefor EA preparation for projects being funded from credit line. Under the regulatoryreform component of the project, institutionalstrengthening consisting of computer hardware and software will be provided allowing CEPB to more effectively monitor and enforce industrialenterprise compliance with existing EA regulations. For the two steel mill relocationcomponents, the Chongqing Iron and Steel Design Institute and CEPB in collaborationwith the affiliated steel companies and an internationalconsultant completed their EAs. Both EAs were approved by the State EnvironmentalAuthority (NEPA). ASTEN had reviewed the EAs and their Executive Summaries,and found them to be of sufficient quality to allow the appraisal mission to proceed. A number of comments and questions raised by ASTEN based upon their review of the EA and EA summary were discussedwith the Borrower during the appraisal mission. As appropriate, these were incorporatedinto the project design or resolved to the satisfactionof ASTEN.
RENARKS:
All industrialsubprojects to be financed will be required to submit an environmentalassessment prepared by CEPB. An environmentalauditing program is designed to deal systematicallywith major pollution in the industrial sector in CM.

MAJOR PROJECT COMPONENTS:
(a) Institutionalstrengthening; (b) rehabilitationand improvementof existing irrigationand drainage systems; (c) flood control; (d) rehabilitation/improvementof rural infrastructure(feeder roads, electrification,marketing, etc.); (e) strengtheningof animal health and plant protection services; (f) generation and transfer of agricultural technolugy; (g) soil conservationand management; and (h) information services.
MAJOR ENVIRONMENTALISSUES:
The project is expected to help rehabilitateand improve the efficiency of already existing irrigation and drainage systems and help establish an adequate O&M system under the responsibilityof Water Users Associations. However, some environmentalissues need to be considered such as the effects of the project on hydrology and water quantity and quality; effects on floodplain ecology; the potential for increased incidenceof water-borne and water-related diseases; soil erosion; pollutionby agrochemicals;impact on soils (waterlogging,salinization, etc.).
OTHER ENVIRONMENTALISSUES:
The environmentaland social impact of farm workers moving into project areas; non-sustainableuses of natural resources (soil, water); increasing social inequality.
PROPOSED ACTIONS:
Alternative solutionsand mitigatory measures to past environmental problems have been identified during preparationand are being taken into account in project design. Improved water management as proposed by this project, would precisely mitigate some of the environmentalimpacts already caused in some river basins by the constructionof reservoirs and the correspondingirrigation and drainage works, reducing salinity levels and increasing efficiency in water use. The project would not initiate constructionof new water schemes but rather would help rehabilitate,improve and maintain already existing irrigation and drainage systems. By the same token, no new roads will be opened, only rehabilitationof existing feeder roads networks is considered. Also other componentswould focus on improving soil conservation,land use and animal husbandry practices. All land under production has a secure tenure and availabilityof water as well as improved supporting services would increase productivityand quality of crops, with substantialeffects over levels of rural income.

transfer and training of techniciansand farmers would contributeto improved, more sustainablepractices. Plant and animal health would reduce morbidity and mortality,with economic and health consequencesfor producers and consumers. Institutionalstrengthening would improve capacity for project implementation,including environmentalmonitoring and on-going evaluation, both at the federal as well as the provincial levels. It would also help environmentalanalysis and screening of new sub-projectproposals to be presented during implementation.
JUSTIFICATION/RATIONALEFOR ENVIRONMENTALCATEGORY:
Category A has been recommendedby LATEN since some of the sub-projects being considered (e.g., Pozo Borrado in Santa Fe) included constructionof new irrigationor drainage canals within the existing areas with the objective of improving overall efficiency in water management. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the project as a whole is designed to improve water management, soil conservation,land use and animal husbandry practices, as well as the institutionalcapacity (both at the federal and provincial levels) to assess, monitor and solve environmentalproblems. REPORTING SCHEDULE:
TORs prepared and consultantshired to carry out environmentalanalysis of main provincial and regional sub-projects. Preliminary analyses for provincial six subprojectswere received and reviewed by the Bank, and comments sent to the local preparationteam. New version of environmentalanalyses for priority sub-projectsinvolving infrastructurework and where adverse impacts may be possible, as well as a draft EnvironmentalAssessment for the whole project, have been received in November 1995. An Executive Summary (in English) will be distributed to the Executive Directors before appraisal. REMARKS:
Government of Argentina is asking experiencedlocal NGOs to carry out independent assessmentsof the environmentalanalyses prepared for the most sensitive sub-projects,as well as planning a series of workshops with NGOs and local groups to disseminateand discuss preliminary results of these analyses and receive ideas regarding alternativemeasures to be considered. One of these NGOs, Wetlands for the Americas, would carry out a complementary study for the "Pozo Borrado" sub-projectin Santa Fe.

MAJOR PROJECT COMPONENTS: The project will consist of a conventionalcombined cycle plant with an installed capacity of 586 MW to be located in the Baluchistan Province of Pakistan. The power station will use medium-Btunatural gas from the nearby Uch gas field, to be supplied by the Oil and Gas Development Corporation (OGDC), on the basis of a long-termGas Supply Agreement. Generated power will be sold to the Water and Power DevelopmentAuthority (WAPDA), on the basis of a long-term Power Purchase Agreement. The project will be implementedby the private sector company, Uch Power Limited (UPL), on a Build-Own Operate basis. UPL will enter into a fixed price turnkey constructioncontract with General Electric IndustrialPower Systems for the constructionof the project and into an Operations and Management Contract with the ElectricitySupply Board of Ireland for the operations and management of the plant. Debt financingfor the project will be provided by the PSEDF in Pakistan, the IFC, and commercial lenders guaranteedby US Eximbank and the IBRD partial risk guarantee.
MAJOR ENVIRONMENTALISSUES: The sponsors of the project have prepared an environmentaland social soundness assessment (ESSA) for the project following the guidelinesof the Bank, IFC and GOP. The ESSA consideredthe impacts of the proposed facility on the physical, ecologicaland socio-economicenvironments, and identified mitigation and monitoring activitiesto minimize potential impacts. Potential environmentalimpacts of this project include impacts on air quality from emissions,on water and land resources,on the ecology of the area and on the social and cultural environment. The project site is uninhabited and located in an isolated,semi-arid environment. At best, the project site is used occasionallyfor grazing.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTALISSUES: The development of the gas field and of the gas pipeline is outside the scope of this project. However, the Bank has asked that OGDC prepare an ESSA for the gas gathering and processing facilitiesand for the gas pipeline to the project site.
PROPOSED ACTIONS: The mitigation plan concludes that: (i) by using natural gas as the primary fuel source, the project will not exceed GOP or World Bank emissions and ambient air quality standards for S02, Nox, and particulatesand no additionalmitigation other than realized by the project as designed will be required; (ii) water use impacts will be mitigated by the withdrawal of water from the feeder canal only during periods of average or high flows. Furthermore,the liquid streams resulting from the project are neither hazardous nor toxic and they will be entirely contained on site, and the zero nI Z I I-58
