Environmental Impact Assessment Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant May 2010 Task 6: Preparation of tender documents for KY WWTP Phase 1. The Joint Venture Consultants have chosen ALMADINA Consultants team for supporting in the preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Study. 1.3. Scope of EIA The present report is the Environmental Impact Assessment Report and includes major results, conclusions and recommendations of the study’s fourth task. The scope of the EIA will describe various components of the environment of the area(s) to be affected or created by the alternatives under consideration. Data and analyses in the EIA will be commensurate with significance of the impact. The EIA will include discussions of direct effects and their significance; indirect effects and their significance; possible conflicts between the proposed action and land use plans, polices and controls for the areas concerned, and conservation potential of alternatives and mitigation measures. At the same time, the EIA will include urban quality; historic and cultural resources and the design of the built environment, including the reuse and conservation potential of various alternatives and mitigation measures; and means to mitigate adverse environmental impacts. For each significant adverse impact, the section will identify proposed mitigation measure(s). A number of studies have been conducted earlier, especially under West Bank and Gaza Water and Sanitation Project Phase II: Process Selection Report (PLANCENTER, 2005) and Preliminary Design for the KY WWTP of KY (PLANCENTER, 2006), and Review of wastewater flow and load projections for KY Governorate (CEP & EMCC, 2006). Environmental Assessment for North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment Plant Project has been prepared by EMCC in 2005. A preliminary environmental assessment for KYKY WWTP was done by PACIFIC Consultant in 1996. After review of these studies, and taking into account latest official statistics for population number and growth rates, this Report for KY WWTP updates the environmental baseline data and provides assessment of environmental impacts and the required management and monitoring plan. 1.4. Need for Environmental Impact Assessment Modern economic development strategies and programmes based on the use of natural resources and technology. Frequently, such activities involve purposeful changes and heavy burden on inherently complex environmental ecosystems. The changes, which consequently occur over time and space, are for the most part poorly understood and may often be unforeseen. During recent decades, public knowledge and concerns about the economy and the environment have changed significantly. It is now widely recognized that economic systems are inextricably linked to the environment and that human health and well-being depend on a healthy environment. EIA plays a central role in acquiring information on the social and environmental implications – including water resources implications – of development programmes and projects, identifying the measures necessary to protect the resource and related ecosystems and then ensuring that such measures are implemented. EIAs are concerned not only with impacts on SOGREAH/UG CONSULTANTS 20
Environmental Impact Assessment Khan Younis Wastewater Treatment Plant May 2010 the natural environment but also with effects on the social environment. Hence, the EIA touches the heart of the need for cross-sectoral integration involving project developers, water managers, decision-makers and the public, and provides a mechanism or tool to achieve the sustainable development aspect. 1.5. Purpose and Objectives This study is an assessment of the environmental impacts and benefits of the KY WWTP Project and its ecological effects on the existing and the planned situation. The EIA study will be conducted in order to: 1. Ensure that the project will not have irreversible negative impacts on the environment including: water, soil, air, ecology and socio-economic aspect, 2. Identify both positive and negative impacts, 3. Develop actions and measures to mitigate negative impacts, 4. Make sure that all stakeholders concerned are aware of the project and their views and comments are taken into consideration to the maximum possible extent. The study should be considered as an aid to improve the decision making process as it seeks public opinion and external knowledge in order to ensure a maximum degree of fairness and balance in the final decision.
