EMP Environmental management plan ER Environmental Review MoE Ministry of Environmental Protection Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection RDP II Regional Development Project II Environmental Screening and Classification The sub-project area is located in West Georgia, Imereti Region 250 km west from Tbilisi and comprises the territory of Tskaltubo Town. Access to the site is possible via motor way. The SP envisages provision of the secured sewage network service for inhabitants and visitors of Tskaltubo Town. The subproject include replacement of existing main sewage collectors in the central part of Tskaltubo with the new polyethylene pipes (collector K-1 D=500 mm, length – 3610 m; collector K-2 D=500 mm, length – 3840 m), as well as arrangement of new branch collectors (D=200 – 2035 m, D=250 – 2570 m, D=300 – 920 m, D=400 – 120 m), installation of precast r/concrete manholes (D=1.0m – 317 units) and arrangement of connections to the new collectors. Design envisages construction of water supply PE pipelines D32 – D90 (with total length 700 m), construction of small pumping station with 1 set of water pump 32m3/hr, N=11 kW, as well as installation of water meter units (d15 – d40) – 14 sets.
