Carry out screening of the subprojects with regard to EA categorization according to WB requirements. Provide guidance on preparation of site specific ESMPs for the road sections to be identified during project implementation Follow up the national clearance procedures for the site specific environmental documents and supervise the consultation and disclosure requirements for the ESMPs according to WB procedures Review ESMPs and submit them for WB clearance Perform supervision of EMP implementation by the road rehabilitation contractors Be open to comments from affected groups and environmental authorities regarding environmental aspects of subproject implementation. Meet with these groups during site visits, as necessary; Coordinate and liaise with WB supervision missions regarding environmental safeguard aspects of subproject implementation In addition to RRF’s responsibilities, WB will be responsible for the clearance of the ESMPs and may conduct site visits during the project implementation. The main responsible party for project’s implementation according to WB operational policies if the client, RRF. ANNEX 1. POTENTIAL IMPACT OF ROAD REHABILITATION Potential Impact/ Issue Environmental Significance Air quality Dust emission from movement of construction trucks and equipment and construction activities like digging etc Moderate Solid waste Waste from bush clearing and removal of trees Moderate pollution Sediment laden runoff from exposed areas mainly due to vegetation clearing during construction; Improper use of waste oils from construction equipment; Improper disposal of sanitary waste from work camps Moderate; Minor Major Noise pollution Movement of heavy vehicles Minor Soil erosion Exposed land surfaces from cleared vegetation may induce erosion from rain events Moderate Loss of flora/ fauna Due to the removal of vegetation Minor Public safety Badly managed work activity/ site within community Poor housekeeping leading to stagnant water as breeding grounds for insect vectors (causing malaria etc) Movement of trucks and equipment and road safety Moderate Moderate Moderate Land use Conflicts with incompatible activities and land uses. Land take The road will occupy some space in or close to the community. It may either be private or public land for which compensation may be required Moderate Raw material usage PVC pipes, sand, stones from local and external sources (quarries etc)
