Institutional Strengthening ($480,000); Component 2. Urban Management Development Plans and Investments ($2.42 million); Component 3. Investments for Improved Efficiency ($14.53 million); Component 4. Engineering Services ($300,000); and Component 5. Project Implementation ($700,000). The objectives of the Urban Infrastructure & Service Delivery Project are threefold: (i) improve the availability, quality and reliability of basic municipal services and in particular, water supply and sanitation; (ii) strengthen the ability of Cantonal and municipal governments to prioritize and improve management and institutional efficiency capacity for infrastructure development by developing Urban Management Development Plans; and (iii) where possible, foster deeper social cohesion for though improvements in overall living conditions. In accordance with World Bank policies and procedures (OP/BP/GP 4.01, Environmental Assessment) the project has been assigned Category "B". For each of the four subproject investments identified before appraisal a separate Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was prepared in accordance with the World Bank regulations, submitted to the World Bank, and disclosed publicly. Each EMP includes a: (i) mitigation plan, (ii) monitoring plan, (iii) implementation schedule, (iv) institutional arrangements for effective environmental management, and (v) a record of the public consultation. The selected towns for subproject investments in the first phase are Banja Luka, Cazin, Lukavac and Posusje. In all selected towns, water losses in the water networks are very high; therefore investment in leak detection and training is one of the key priorities. Another common priority for reducing water losses is the rehabilitation of corroded steel pipelines, which are severely deteriorated. Other priorities are individual for each town. For Banja Luka, the highest priority is the rehabilitation of the water treatment plant in order to maintain adequate supply and improve water quality. For Lukavac, it is rehabilitation of the water treatment plant and the replacement of facilities of the water source in order to eliminate the water shortage and improve water quality. For Cazin, the highest priority is the water supply system to the eastern part of the town where there is neither safe nor adequate water supply. For Posusje, the highest priority is to end the water shortage, especially in summer, and have proper water treatment. The rehabilitated gravity pipeline from the Tribistovo Dam and the treatment plant would not only solve the problems of Posusje, but also bring relief for the adjacent communities of Grude, Siroki Brijeg and Imotski. In each of the project areas no significant threats to the environment, or environmental impacts have been identified. Most of the environmental impacts deal with the construction works, or issues such as waste management and wastewater releases during operation. During public discussions and consultations it was concluded that there is no major opposition to the project, and that the projects benefits with regards to improved living conditions and efficient natural resource use are far more significant. The institutional strengthening plan includes training and equipment procurement, which were identified as the most significant. Subproject investments identified after project appraisal shall be subject to an environmental management process framework that is consistent with both entity and World Bank environmental policies, procedures and regulations. This framework, entitled "Environmental Screening and Evaluation Procedures" is an integral part of 3 Bosna-S Oil Services Co. URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE DELIVERY PROJECT Environmental Framework and Screening Document this report and shall be incorporated into the project Operations Manual. This document includes procedures and institutional responsibilities for screening, EA documentation, consultation, disclosure, and implementation of the project specific EMP. Institutional capacity for all organizations identified with designated responsibility for implementation of EMPs and the Environmental Screening and Evaluation Procedures was examined. A program of institutional strengthening (primarily training and monitoring equipment) is incorporated into the project to assure appropriate capacity for successful implementation.
