        Description
        Objectives

        The project comprises a large number of single schemes to improve Hamburg’s wastewater services, through reconstruction and upgrading of old system components. The project involves the modernisation of the wastewater treatment system of the city-state of Hamburg.

        Like the first Hamburg Abwasser Project, the second aims at the reduction of environmental disturbances for Hamburg’s residents and the urban infrastructure system by adopting a proactive approach in network reconstruction and rehabilitation in line with the continuously up-dated 20-year rehabilitation programme. The project concerns a large number of smaller investments in different sewer catchment areas within the area of responsibility of HSE and in its treatment works.

        Environmental aspects
        Procurement

        At the time of appraisal of the Hamburg I project, canalisation works underwent Annex II of the EU Directive 85/337/EEC. Since 1999 the EIA Directive was amended by 97/11/EEC, which does not list sewers any more under Annex II. Thus no legal obligation exists for most project components of this Hamburg II project to be evaluated against environmental impacts. However, the HSE approach as far as environmental impacts are concerned will be examined during appraisal. The promoter’s procurement procedures will be examined during appraisal.

        In respect of procurement for public works, European Union Directives.
