Aspects environnementaux
The replacement of old pipes included in the project does not require any EIA but the installation is subject to nuisance control measures during construction. The Western Aqueduct consists of a new underground trunk main that was submitted to a full EIA approved by the relevant environmental agency in October 2008. The environmental license – or ROD (Record of Decision) - confirms that the impact can be properly mitigated with minor residual and permanent negative effects. The Northern Aqueduct is still at design stage and will also be submitted to an EIA. The promoter will keep the Bank informed and provide the relevant documents.
Passation des marchés
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that implementation of the project will be done in compliance with the Bank’s Guide to Procurement.
