WEST AFRICAN POWER POOL (WAPP) PÖYRY ENERGY LTD. Mount Coffee HPP ESIA and RAP 2012-09-18 ESIA Report Page 228 Table 29-1: Project compliance Analysis Strategic Priority Guideline Comments Strategic Priority 1: Gaining Public Acceptance Public acceptance of key decisions is essential for equitable and sustainable water and energy resources development. Acceptance emerges from recognising rights, addressing risks, and safeguarding the entitlements of all groups of affected people, particularly indigenous and tribal peoples, women and other vulnerable groups. Decision making processes and mechanisms are used that enable informed participation by all groups of people, and result in the demonstrable acceptance of key decisions. Where projects affect indigenous and tribal peoples, such processes are guided by their free, prior and informed consent. Strategic Priority 2: Comprehensive Options Assessment Alternatives to dams do often exist. To explore these alternatives, needs for water, food and energy are assessed and objectives clearly defined. The appropriate development response is identified from a range of possible options. The selection is based on a comprehensive and participatory assessment of the full range of policy, institutional and technical options. In the assessment process social and environmental aspects have the same significance as economic and financial factors. The options assessment process continues through all stages of planning, project development and operations 1. Stakeholder Analysis The main stakeholders (other than those directly involved in HPP development) have been identified as the local inhabitants and NGOs active in the area. A social survey was performed and the inhabitants of the project area were informed. Household and village questionnaires as well as focus group discussions were used. Meeting with the NGOs (FAO, Bureau of Fisheries etc.) concerning the environmental issues were held and the 2. Negotiated Decision-Making Process 3. Free, Prior and Informed Consent Conclusions: 4. Strategic Impact Assessment for Environmental, Social, Health and Cultural Heritage Issues 5. Project Level Impact Assessment for Environmental, Social, Health and Cultural Heritage Issues problems discussed. The stakeholders have not participated in any decision on the Project. Structures as suggested by the guidelines are not in place. Stakeholders had the opportunity to formulate their concerns and expectations, however, these cannot yet be considered as firm parts of the project. The affected population cannot be qualified as an indigenous, tribal or ethnic minority population as defined in WB OP 4.10. They have indicated their consent with the project and listed their expectations. Agreements will have to be reached. Stakeholder Analysis was carried out (to a sufficient extent for this stage). It is now important that the process which has started successfully is being maintained and will continue. Firm agreements on requests made must be reached before a final decision on the project. A SEA for regional development cannot be made as part of an EIA for a specific project. However, based on available information a preliminary CIA of the planned cascade on the St Paul river has been carried out. These aspects are all being taken into consideration. An ESIA including a Social Survey were carried out for the Project with regard to the main points. While social and environmental aspects are of some concern, cultural heritage is not an issue in this case. 6. Multi Criteria Analysis Such analyses are under way, however, so far without participation of stakeholders. Namely, an economic analysis for the project was carried out as part of the present study, which shows the benefits of the project and its advantages over possible alternatives. 7. Life Cycle Assessment Is, at least to some extent, being carried out. 8. Greenhouse Gas Emission Given the situation (small reservoir, high turnover of water, low risk of eutrophication) it can be said that the Project rates favourable in this respect.
WEST AFRICAN POWER POOL (WAPP) PÖYRY ENERGY LTD. Mount Coffee HPP ESIA and RAP 2012-09-18 ESIA Report Page 229 Strategic Priority Guideline Comments Strategic Priority 3: Addressing Existing Dams. Opportunities exist to optimise benefits from many existing dams, address outstanding social issues and strengthen environmental mitigation and restoration measures. Dams and the context in which they operate are not seen as static over time. Benefits and impacts may be transformed by changes in water use priorities, physical and land use changes in the river basin, technological developments, and changes in public policy expressed in environment, safety, economic and technical regulations. Management and operation practices must adapt continuously to changing circumstances over the project’s life and must address outstanding social issues. Strategic Priority 4: Sustaining Rivers and Livelihoods Rivers, watersheds and aquatic ecosystems are the biological engines of the planet. They are the basis for life and the livelihoods of local communities. Dams transform landscapes and create risks of irreversible impacts. Understanding, protecting and restoring ecosystems at river basin level is essential to foster equitable human development and the welfare of all species. Options assessment and decision-making around river development prioritises the avoidance of impacts, followed by minimisation and compensation. 9. Distributional Analysis of Projects This is being done mainly with respect to the directly affected population. 10. Valuation of Social and Environmental Impacts Done in the ESIA study. 11. Improving Economic Risk While important, this is not being done within the framework of E&S Assessment assessment. Conclusions: The points addressed under this Strategic Priority have been addressed and show the advantages of the project over possible alternatives. 12. Ensuring Operational Rules Reflect Social and Environmental Concerns 13. Improving Reservoir Operations Conclusions: Requires continued attention during detailed design and operation. Same as above. The reservoir, besides energy generation, also has a potential for fisheries. Given its small size, margins for operational variation (basically ROR with some load following) are limited.. The issue of existing and planned dams in the wider area is addressed in this report, and benefits and risks are discussed. 14. Baseline Ecosystem Surveys The baseline data on the ecosystem in the area of the project is very weak since almost no actual long term studies have been carried out in this region. Still it can be stated that the negative effect of the project on the habitats is acceptable, since the area to be submerged had already been covered with water 20 years ago; in the meantime, not in the least due to shifting cultivation, no especially valuable habitats have develop in the project area 15. Environmental Flow Has been addressed in the study. Assessment 16. Maintaining Productive Fish fauna has been investigated. Recommendations on mitigation measures Fisheries are given in the ESIA Report Conclusions: Important points which are being addressed in the ongoing planning.
