WEST AFRICAN POWER POOL (WAPP) PÖYRY ENERGY LTD. Mount Coffee HPP ESIA and RAP 2012-09-18 ESIA Report Page A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The present document is the ESIA Report for the Mt. Coffee HPP. It is based on the Scoping Report, which was submitted to the Client and the authorities in charge of the ESIA process in February 2012, and accepted by EPA in its letter dated May 1, 2012. Based on the preliminary evaluation and assessment in the Scoping Report, extensive field work was carried out in the meantime on all subjects identified as relevant, i.e. as subject to certain or probable environmental impacts caused by the Project. As required for any environmental and social impact assessment, the following main steps were carried out for all these topics: � Description of the present situation, i.e. the situation without project. � Identification of project impacts, classified according to their importance and probability of manifestation; obviously, positive as well as negative effects had to be identified. In specific cases, a rather extensive analysis was also required in order to demonstrate that the Project will cause no or only a very marginal impact. � Identification of mitigation measures, where the anticipated impacts require such measures. In the case of negative impacts, the aim here was, as always, to avoid the impact, to minimise it to an acceptable level or to provide compensation where avoidance and minimisation was not possible. The Report follows the structure which was proposed in the Inception Report and which was then also used for the Scoping Report. There is an Annex to each main Chapter, which provides supporting material to the topic treated in the respective chapter, if any. This structure was chosen for ease of reference. The Executive Summary follows the structure of the Report. The legal and administrative framework is described in Chapter 2. Relevant legal texts and applicable standards can be grouped in three categories as follows: � Laws on environmental protection and, mainly, procedure for preparation of an EIA. � Laws on resettlement; there is no resettlement law in Liberia, but the constitution and other Liberian laws provide a basis for resettlement and compensation. � Applicable international guidelines and standards. World Bank Operational Policies are the most important ones, and their relevance is analysed shortly; other relevant guidelines and standards, like those of the African Development Bank, are addressed as well. The chapter also mentions the institutional setup for the ESIA process, which is guided by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Chapter 3 describes the Project and its relevant parts. Basis for the description of the project is the daft feasibility study submitted by Stanley Consultants in February 2012. Some additional detail information on the project was derived from this study, while the main parameters have not changed in comparison to the earlier studies.
