NOTE TO FILE:

The following Environmental ssessment Report is one of several that was prepared in

support of the Urban Infrastruclure Project for Ukraine which was under preparation in

2005-2006. This is a category project for rehabilitation of various utilities, including

water supply, waste water treat nent, and solid waste. The EAs cover investments under

Component B for Rehabilitatioi Investments under the project. Any technical variations

in the final plans for these sites will be addressed in the review of the EMPs scheduled to

take place in conjunction with he launch workshop. All subsequently identified works

under Component B. must cor ply with the preparation of similar EAs in accordance with

the Environmental Framework Policy dated November, 2005, before the disbursement of

any funds for the specific site. [vestments under C. for Energy Efficiency under the

Project must comply with the F eparation of an abbreviated EA/EMP specified under a

separate Environmental Fram ork Policy prepared specifically for Component C.

PREFACE

U ban Infrastructure Project (Ul Project) and Nistru River/Black Sea ProtectionP oject (NR/BSP Project) (GEF si b-project) have been merged into a single UrbanIn rastructure Project (GEF sub-projicts are treated under the Ul Project) as their broader vironmental goals include imprq 'ement of hygiene and health of the population,pr vision of low-cost and sustainablL water supply and sanitation delivery services, andirnprovement of environmental con tions in Ukraine, with a special focus on the NistruRi er and Black Sea basin as a prior tregion.

Within the framework of this integrated project, the EA Consultant is responsible forpr paration of:

* Environmental Framework Poll y (EFP);* Environmental Assessment (E4)

E vironmental Framework Policy

.1 INTRODUCTION

T e objective of the Environmental Assessment (EA) report is to identify and assess thef ture environmental impacts assoc ated with the proposed Urban Infrastructure Project ina manner that meets the requirl ments of the World Bank. The proposed UrbanIr frastructure Project is anticipatec to provide funds for financing the costs of priorityirvestments, designed to address tl e most urgent issues faced by key municipal services ctors, including water supply, sew rage, and solid waste management.

T he need for the Urban Infrastruq ure Project in Kharkiv is substantial and has manyd mensions, key of them being tt e promotion of socio-economic development in ane vironmentally sustainable manne

This report presents the results of pi liminary environmental assessment of each project inKharkiv, proposed for the World Eank funding, with particular focus on the potentiallys gnificant impacts of these projects nd options for mitigating them.

According to the Terms of Referen e, and in order to ensure compliance with World Banke nvironmental policies (OP/BP/GP 4.01), the Environmental Assessment should be carriedo ut in compliance with the EA requil ments for Category A projects.

The existing situation in Kharkiv with respect to drinking water supply, wastewaterc Dllection and treatment, and solid N/aste management is first described before the needf r proposed developments is cc nsidered. The development proposals and existingenvironmental features are describ bd to allow the assessment of environmental impactsand identification of mitigation optio s.

6 C ,onsultation has taken place with ,arious stakeholders, and feedback is summarized inection IV of this report.

General Information on the City d Kharkiv

Kharkiv is a major industrial, cientific and cultural centre in Ukraine, and theEdministrative centre of Kharkiv 0 last. Economically, it is associated with the Donetsk-l nipro Economic Region. Kharkiv has a cross-border location with respect to two. eographic zones (Forest-Steppe a nd Steppe), both classified as arid. Kharkiv has threer vers (Lopan, Kharkiv, and Udy), v ith their confluence located within the city boundaries.v 1he Udy River is the tributary of the Siversky Donets River.

1 he climate in the area is typically oontinental, with long but relatively mild winter, and hotsummer. Mean annual temperature is at 6.9 °C. The coldest months are January (-7.1 0C)end February (-6.7 °C), and the wirmest months are June (19.5 °C), July (20.5 0C) and/ ugust (19.4 °C). Mean annual pr cipitation is about 522 mm, with its major proportion( 352 mm) falling during the warm sqason, from April through October.

Local wind pattern can be characte zed as follows:. Eastern and south-eastern wind are predominant in winter;. Western and north-western win are predominant in summer;

Idean annual wind velocity is 4.33 n/s, with the 20-year maximum probable wind velocityteing at 22 m/s. The wind velocity P ad is about 30 kg-s/m2

Slow cover sefttles in early Decemb r and melts in late March, with mean thickness beingat 20 cm, and normalized snow cver mass ranging between 95 to 100 kg/i 2. frostpe netration depths are at 1.0 m on tte average, and 1.1 m at the maximum.

Kl arkiv occupies the area of approx mately 305 ki 2, lying on the slightly undulating plain,di sected by river valleys and gorge . Surface elevations in relation to the sea level rangebe tween 90 to 192 m.

Kl arkiv has a population of about .5 million. It has been, and still is, one of the mostimportant regions in Ukraine for in strial development, particularly for machine-buildingin ustry. Kharkiv's economic activi es include power engineering, tractor construction,m achine-building, aircraft constru ion, chemistry, metal fabrication, forestry, woodp ocessing, tannery, food processin, construction industry.

B ing a major conurbation and entre of industrial activity, Kharkiv needs seriousiniprovements in its municipal infra ructure, including water supply, wastewater collectionand treatment, and solid waste management, in order to ensure its sustainablede velopment and maintain a althy environment. The achievement of theseiniprovements requires large-scale pital investments and, given the scope of investmentre quirement, loans provided by the international financial institutions are seen as a veryin portant mechanism, particularly uring the transitional period, in which the municipals ctor moves towards commercial i ependence.

F rther sections of this report de cribe the proposed improvements and present there suits of their environmental asses ment.

3. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE JANAGEMENT

3.1. Existing Situation

T e need for developing an effe ive and sustainable MSW management system inK arkiv, which has a 1'.5 million population, is substantial and demonstrated by theg nerally poor state of every aspec of current waste management system. The KharkivC ty and Oblast Administrations h ve consolidated their efforts in order facilitate thep ogress towards a more sustainab e waste management arrangement. The Kharkiv CityWaste Management Strategy and Iction Plan have been approved by the City Council.T ese documents identify and prior ise actions that need to be taken in order to improvett e existing waste management sy tem through a combination of technical, institutionala d organizational measures. Key p oposed improvements are listed below:

a Purchase of 60 waste collection ehicles;. Purchase of 7,000 waste collecti n containers.

3 3. Analysis of Potential Envir nmental Impacts

Ir accordance with the World Bank 's Operational Policy on Environmental Assessment,th e proposed infiltration intake proje t is rated as an environmental category B in terms ofit.,; environmental impacts and their significance.

3. 3.1. Physical Impact

T le potential physical impacts to th environment are likely to be associated with waste-re lated traffic. However, the propos d waste collection vehicle and container type appearstc be adequate in terms of ensuring that potential environmental impacts of their operationa e kept at an acceptable level, whi ch does not affect the ecological equilibrium and thesl ate of environment.

T e proposed project design corr Irises a suite of mitigation measures, identified ina ,cordance with existing legislatior and designed to minimize the impact on air quality,water resources, soils and tree pkl ntations in the process of equipment operation andr aintenance.

A tmospheric Effects:T e proposed project includes adeq late measures for minimization and prevention of dustai d exhaust gas emission during t e operation of waste collection service, which will bec mpliant with existing regulatiol s. There is a provision for proper control and

. rr aintenance of vehicles, operating . t the site.

V /ater Resources:Vater-related mitigation measures ei ainly involve the provision for adequate maintenancea id cleaning of container sites and imely collection of waste in order to avoid the overflowo containers.

L nd Resources:S imilarly, the provision for adequatc paving, maintenance and timely cleaning of containersi tes is designed to minimize the im act on soil. Where necessary, restoration programmewill be developed and implemented ollowing the organization of container sites.

3 3.2. Social Impact

T he proposed project is expected to produce visible improvements in the quality ando -ganization of MSW collection se vice. New container capacity will enable the graduale (tension of existing separate wast ! collection initiatives in different areas of Kharkiv, andp oposed collection vehicle capa( ity will enable the increased frequency of wastec Ilections and avoid the overflo of waste in containers. No human resettlementre quirement is involved in the projecl.

3 4. Review of Alternative Optio s

By increasing the collection vehicle and container capacity, the progress will be made inimplementing the City' Waste Man gement Strategy, especially in terms of achieving animproved level of waste collection s rvice and minimizing the adverse impact.of waste onth e environment.

B sed on the above, the proposed F roject appears to be a preferable option relative to thee isting situation.

3 5. Environmental ManagemenL Plan

3 5.1. Brief Description of Key En ironmental Issues

T e potential environmental impactp are likely to be associated with the operation of wastec llection vehicles and containers p rchased as part of the proposed project. Noise anddi st are likely to be generated by co lection vehicles. In the event of disruption in collectionse rvice, container site may becore a nuisance, being overflowed with waste. Wherec ntainer lids are kept open, waste Oan easily mix with rainwater, accelerating the leachateg neration.

T e City regulation requires the cc struction provision of a special paved site for eachwaste container, in order to provide better containment for containerised waste.

3. 5.2. Mitigation and Monitoring

Ti e detailed mitigation and monito ing programme will be developed at a later stage ofp oject implementation, though in general terms, the most effective form of mitigationa ainst adverse impacts, associate with the provision of waste collection service, is toe isure a high level of service management, especially with regard to collectionfr quencies, container/vehicle fleet r aintenance, container site cleaning and maintenance.

P roposed environmental performat ce indicators and monitoring parameters for MSWm anagement system are provided ir Annex 8.2.

4. INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES

T ie regulatory compliance effort of 8 n implementing organization should be supported anda sisted by relevant regulatory autt orities. The Environmental Management Plan will beir iplemented by the Borrower in or er to ensure compliance with existing environmentalar d sanitary regulations in the pr cess of implementing the proposed water supply,w stewater collection and solid wa te management improvements in Kharkiv. Relevante ecutive authorities will be respon ible for overall control and supervision of constructionar d operation of all proposed fa Ilities. The day-to-day supervision of environmentalp rformance will be part of the desig i/construction supervision process.

T ere is no plan for the involvement f non-governmental organizations in the independentmonitoring of the project.

5. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

In accordance with the World Bar k requirement, the public consultation process waso 0ganized as part of the environm Erntal assessment, in order to discuss the proposedur ban infrastructure development pr jects with various stakeholder groups in Kharkiv. Thisp iblic consultation involved two stag is.

Tle first public consultation was eId on 5 August 2005 to discuss the EA Terms ofR ference, EA report structure ant preparation schedule. Relevant project informationw s distributed among the participa Its present at the meeting.

T le second public consultation was held on 6 September 2005 to discuss the results ofe evironmental assessment for all pr posed investment projects.

T ie following key stakeholder g ioups were involved in the consultation process:st tutory/political authorities, NGOs S nd public group representatives.

G enerally, the consultation process was extremely productive and useful, and valuablec mments were provided with ragard to the project implementation. The publicre presentatives expressed support f (Ir the project.

A I comments and recommendation; have been taken into account in preparation of thepr esent report. Details on public con iultation process are provided in Annex C.

C onclusions

A set of very important and interest ng issues/comments/opinions were identified/receiveda s a feed-back from interested anc project-affected groups, in particular, potential GrantRecipients, NGOs and general put lic. All comments have been taken into account andp roperly addressed during the prept ration of EA reports.

The feedback received from the p| lic consultations has proved invaluable in assessingtl e following aspects of the propose projects:

* Compliance of planned inS stment projects with the Ukrainian environmentallegislation and regulations;

* Completeness of available inf rmation on the current environmental situation;* Current environmental permi ng status of each proposed project;

U * Completeness of available nformation on the potential environmental impactsassociated with the proposed nvestment project implementation;

* Adequacy of proposed mitiga tion measures in terms of ensuring the environmentalsafety and sustainability;

* Acceptability of potential envit nmental impacts and environmental feasibility of each* proposed project;

;f., * Need for additional envir nmental information or clarification of availableenvironmental data.

1'he feedback received from variouX stakeholder groups was one of a strong support to thep roposed projects in Kharkiv and Kharkiv Oblast. Their implementation is expected toM rovide much needed improvement in water supply, waste water collection/treatment and. olid waste management sectors. hese improvements would facilitate the provision ofc ood quality services to populatio and compliance with the national and internationaltandards. The proposed projects would provide social benefits to the populations of

Kharkiv, Chuguev, Izium and Kup ansk by improving the quality and reliability of vitalservices.

1'he projects will not cause involunt^ ry resettlement of population.

f 'heir potential physical impacts on ocal geology, climate, air quality, fauna, water bodies,soil, vegetation cover, and existinC utilities/infrastructure are likely to be minimal, beingIm ited to the construction phase.

1'he existing situation in water su ply, waste water collection/treatment and solid waterrianagement sector is critical, and tould deteriorate even further if the proposed projectsv ere not implemented. This would reatly increase the risk of major disruption in serviceprovision and collapse of municipal nfrastructure.
