A credible Public Consultation Process (PCP) is crucial to the successful
completion of the assignment and completing the preparatory work. The PCP
process will continue through project implementation and facility operation.
The Consultant should work with an NGO to be mobilised by the
Government as part of the team to design and facilitate the implementation of
a suitable consultation process, ensuring that public views are considered in
project design and subsequently incorporated in construction and operation
phases. The Consultant should assist municipalities to :

From earlier studies, new surveys and waste characterisation study, the
Consultant should assist municipalities to obtain/update as much reliable
data as possible on the quantities and characteristics of the municipal wastes
that are likely to be handled by the proposed facility. More specifically, this
task will include:
(a)
(b)
(c)
6.
The municipalities should undertake a credible and transparent site
selection exercise to select potential sites for the facilities. This can begin once
their is a notional understanding of the waste catchment area and the
participating municipalities. Public consultation forms an important part of
the site selection exercise, and details are provide below. The specific activities
to be undertaken for each facility are as follows:
(a)
(b)
undertake public consultation at this point, and explain the next steps;
(c)
noise pollution;
(d)
meet with the stakeholder group and hold a broader meeting with the
community to inform them of the selection process;
(e)
recommend the most suitable site, and then begin detailed site-level
investigations to prepare the EIS and FS reports for that facility; and
(f)
7.
Purpose The Government and the World Bank, both require the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment prior to the
establishment of the facility. Public consultation is an integral part of the EIA
process, and guidance is provided above.

Specific Objectives
The Consultant should assist municipalities to
undertake surveys, conduct studies, consult with the community and compile
the EIA report. Some of the tasks defined below would have been undertaken
as part of the site selection exercise, municipality should avoid duplicating
data collection. The EIA should cover all likely construction and operation
activities and will include, but not to be limited to, an assessment of the
environmental and social impacts relating to the:

Study Area
Following the conclusion of the site selection exercise
(Section IV), the consultant should assist municipalities to define the study
area for each facility, and obtain the concurrence of the DE. In doing so the
consultant will be guided by public consultation that was undertaken
previously.

The EIA Report should be concise and limited to significant
environmental issues and should be prepared according to the format of DE
and World Bank. The report should have chapter headings reflecting the
above tasks.
VI
FEASIBILITY STUDY
12. The scope of work for conducting the feasibility study and preparing
the report is described in the following paragraphs.
13. Task 1 - Site Investigation The Consultant should assist
municipalities to conduct additional site monitoring, geotechnical
investigations and other necessary technical studies to verify feasibility and
safety of the site (identified through the screening exercise), facility design
and site access options by taking into account the general principles of
minimising health risks, maximising community (including NGOs)
acceptability and minimising environmental impacts (linked to EIA study),
and maximising economy, efficiency and effectiveness; and establish the basis
for detailed landfill specifications. The work described below should be done
as part of or in conjunction with the baseline survey in task 3 of the EIA study:

Consultant Team
(a)
the team leader for this technical assistance should have 10-15
years experience in designing sanitary landfills and leading a
multi-disciplinary team of professionals. In addition, the team
leader should have good project management skills. He also
should have a good understanding of environmental
assessment and public consultation.

Investment Reports for each of the facilities. Each report should consist of (i)
waste collection and characterisation; (ii) site selection; (iii) environmental
impact assessment including the process of public consultation; (iv) feasibility
study; and (v) closure and restoration plan for existing dumpsite. The
following is provided as a guidance in terms of timing:
(a)
(b)
draft EIA report for each facility at the end of the five month. (3 copies)
(c)
draft project-wide EIA report (as explained in para 2) at the end of the
five month (3 copies);
(d)
draft feasibility report for each facility at the end of the six month (3
copies) including closure and restoration plan;
(e)
Investment Report for each facility at the end of the seven month (10
copies each); and
(f)
final version of the Project-wide EIA report at the end of the eight
month as explained in para. 2.
Annex 4C.4
1.1
PURPOSE
The Government of X/State Government/X Company (and the World Bank)
require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment prior to the
construction of the treatment and disposal facility. Attachment 1 describes the
legal requirements and the EIA process to be followed. This Terms of Reference
(ToR) defines the scope of work which the Consultant should undertake in
compiling the EIA report. Public consultation is an integral part of the EIA
process, and guidance is provided below.
1.2
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
The Consultant should undertake surveys, conduct studies, assist the [Client
Name] in consultations with the community and compile the EIA report. The
EIA should cover all likely construction, operation, restoration and aftercare
activities and will include, but not to be limited to, an assessment of the
environmental and social impacts relating to the:

SCOPE OF WORK
The specific responsibilities of the Consultant are given below.
(a)
(b)
(ii) Routes - The Consultant should compare the different haulage routes for
hauling the waste from the generators to the site.
(iii) Technologies - review the comparison for alternate methods of treatment
and disposal presented in the pre-feasibility studies. The basis for the
selection of the recommended option for the project design must be stated.
(iv) No Action - Include the alternative of not constructing the project, in
order to demonstrate environmental conditions without it.
(c)
(d)
extent and quality of available data, key data gaps and uncertainties
associated with predictions should be described. Topics that do not require
further attention should be specified. Any impacts that are irreversible
and/or cannot be avoided or mitigated should be identified.
(e)
(f)
Mitigation Plan
For each significant negative impact or major risk, the Consultant
should recommend and describe a measure to avoid or mitigate
(reduce to acceptable levels) or when unavoidable, to compensate for
the damage. In the description, the text should include an estimate of
capital and recurring costs and should identify the party/parties
responsible for implementation. The Consultant should propose
options for compensation to affected parties for impacts which cannot
be mitigated. If the project affected people exceed 200, the consultant
should prepare a separate Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). The
complete set of recommended measures -in the EMP - should also be
presented in a summary table. Allocation of institutional
responsibilities should be clearly specified.
(ii)
Management Plan
The consultant shall prepare an environmental management plan for
the proposed facility. The environmental management plan shall
identify procedures for the reception, handling and
processing/disposal of waste at the facility. It shall state in clear terms
the environmental management and health safety requirements which
must be adhered to by the operator of the facility. The environmental
management plan shall be written in such a way as to allow it to form a
part of any contract documentation for operation of the facility.
(iii)
Monitoring Plan
The Consultant should specify the types of monitoring needed for
measuring potential environmental and social impacts during
construction, operation, restoration and aftercare phases. As part of the
on-going work of the PCP, the Consultant should include opportunities
for community monitoring by stakeholders. As in the case of the
mitigation plan, requirements should be specific as to what is to be
monitored, how and by whom (with clear delineation of
responsibilities between the Proponent/Operator, Community Groups
and State Agency). Cost estimates are necessary and where monitoring
reports are to be prepared, the recipient responsible for review and any
corrective action should be identified.
