Environmental and Social Management Framework(9) EIA-Report Preparation and ApprovalThe borrower's decision to proceed with a project, and the Bank’s decision tosupport it, is predicated in part on the expectation that the EMAP will be executedeffectively. Consequently, the World Bank expects the EMAP to be site specificand detailed in its description of the individual mitigation and monitoringmeasures and its assignment of institutional responsibilities, and it must beintegrated into the project's overall planning, design, budget, and implementation.The following table summarizes the content of an EIA Report, tailored for theproposed SRN sub-project and in accord with the prescribed in Schedule 5related to Rule 7 of the EPR:Table 2.11: Table of Content of an EIA Report pertaining to SRN subprojectsStandard Format Required for EIA Reports1.

Informationfrom baseline data and data on monitoring should be utilized for carrying out theEnvironmental Auditing. The responsible agency for carrying out theEnvironmental Audit is the MoEST.The environmental auditing should gather information on the following areas:• The condition of natural/social/economic resources prior to the projectimplementation and after project construction is completed;• Whether impacts forecasted by IEE/EIA occurred and, if so, the extent ofthese impacts;• Whether or not the mitigation measures implemented are effective to controladverse impacts or enhance beneficial impacts;• Whether or not all landscape degraded due to project implementation havebeen restored to their original/better conditions;• Long-lasting and residual environmental, social and economic impactsresulting from the work forces at the time of construction;• The overall effect on the local economy of project implementation;• Have land acquisition compensation and resettlement been achievedaccording to RAP principle, and are there any resettlement related outstandingdisputes?April 2007 Chapter 2-33
