EXPANSION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY Jordan - EXPANSION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY project: The As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant was constructed in 2008 with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to replace the highly polluting waste stabilization pond system outside Amman, and is the primary facility for treating wastewater from Jordan's Amman and Zarqa Governorates. However, the demands of a growing population had pushed the capacity of the plant to its limits. Without an expansion to properly handle the region's growing volume of wastewater, the plant would be overloaded, its ability to treat wastewater would deteriorate, and downstream agricultural areas that rely on treated water for irrigation would face serious food safety risks and the loss of markets for agricultural products. The objectives of the As-Samra Expansion Project were to (i) increase the capacity to treat wastewater from Amman and Zarqa Governorates, (ii) increase the volume of treated wastewater that is available as a substitute for freshwater for non-domestic use, and (iii) protect existing agriculture from the potential consequences of pollution from untreated wastewater.

Under a project finance public-private partnership, with help and a funding commitment from MCC, the plant underwent an expansion and technological upgrades, which allowed the Government to treat 70 percent of the country's wastewater and meet the region's wastewater treatment needs through 2025.The plant has improved the long-term sludge management and disposal practices and helped preserve Jordan's scarce water resources. The expanded plant provides 133 million cubic meters of high-quality treated water per year � equivalent to over 10 percent of Jordan's entire annual water resources � for irrigation in the Jordan Valley.

At the end of the compact, approximately 375,000 households (2,023,000 individuals) in the Zarqa Governorate and neighboring Amman benefitted from the project through additional supplies of freshwater transferred to these areas as larger volumes of treated wastewater were made available for substitution in agricultural applications in the Jordan Valley. This included approximately 8,500 households in the Jordan Valley (46,000 individuals) that receive consistent supplies of high-quality treated wastewater that can be used for irrigation. The As-Samra plant also provides bio-solids for potential reuse in fertilizer and fuel, and produces nearly 13 megawatts of energy, or 80 percent of its own energy needs, from biogas and hydropower, making it one of the most modern and energy efficient treatment plants in the Middle East.

Expansion of Wastewater Treatment Capacity Activity Jordan - EXPANSION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY - Expansion of Wastewater Treatment Capacity Activity: The objectives of the As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion project (the "As-Samra Expansion Project") are to (i) increase the capacity to treat wastewater from Amman and Zarqa Governorates, (ii) increase the volume of treated wastewater that is available as a substitute for freshwater for non-domestic use, and (iii) protect existing agriculture from the potential consequences of pollution from untreated wastewater. MCC Funding for the As-Samra Expansion Project will support a portion of the cost associated with the construction of the expansion of the existing As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant. MCC Funding will also support technical assistance for the management and supervision of the construction. The expansion is designed to increase the hydraulic capacity of the existing treatment plant and its ability to handle suspended solids and biological materials, among other critical treatment requirements. The expanded plant will use activated-sludge technology with several important characteristics: (1) primary settling, (2) biological treatment and clarification, (3) disinfection by chlorination, (4) energy recovery from treated water, (5) primary and biological sludge thickening, (6) sludge digestion and biogas energy recovery, (7) digested sludge storage, (8) ventilation and odor control, and (9) a mechanical dewatering process that is designed to accelerate decomposition and reduce volumes of sludge. Under the As-Samra Expansion Project, the plant operator will develop a detailed Environmental and Social Impact Assessment that will build upon the 2003 Environmental Assessment for construction of the existing plant. MCC, Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the plant operator will design an approach to the ESIA that meets the requirements of the MCC Environmental Guidelines, the International Finance Corporation's Performance Standards on Social & Environmental Sustainability, dated April 30, 2006 ("IFC Performance Standards"), and applicable Jordanian environmental protection laws. The ESIA will define any necessary augmentations to current practices in place for monitoring odor, noise, water quality, heavy metal accumulation and disease vectors, especially those induced by sludge, as required under the existing environmental management plan. The ESIA will also define an effective plan that clearly sets forth the roles, responsibilities and costs associated with the management and disposal of large volumes of sludge in order to improve the current practice of storing sludge in stabilization ponds that are present on the project site. These stabilization ponds are expected to be filled within eight to ten years. The sludge treatment, storage and disposal plan will accord with Jordanian law (including applicable Jordanian standards) and the MCC Environmental Guidelines.
