EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

The Federal Government of Nigeria is implementing the multi-state and multi-sectoral State

Employment Expenditure for Results (SEEFOR) Project in four Niger-Delta region states

(Bayelsa, Delta, Edo and Rivers States), which is financed through credit from the International

Development Association (IDA) and grants from the European Union towards the cost of

implementing the project. The project development objective (PDO) is to enhance opportunities

for employment and access to socio-economic services, while improving the public expenditure

management systems in the participating states. The main beneficiaries of the project are the four

state governments with selected ministries, departments and agencies and communities in

Bayelsa, Edo, Delta and Rivers states.

As one of the beneficiary state, Delta state intends to apply part of the proceeds for provision of

consultancy services for the Preparation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for

Sanitation Activities in six pilot cities (Asaba, Sapele, Udu, Ughelli, Uvwue, and Warri).

The project will give rise to the:

Improved hygiene within the selected propjet cities

Creation of Employment for youths within project area and state as a whole

Objectives of the project

The project aims to ensure employment generation through small public works and access to

socio-economic services while improving the Public Financial Management system of

participating State. This is tailored towards promoting accountability and transparency in the

utilization of public finances, which in turn translates into employment opportunities for the

youths. The public works on Road construction and maintenance activity will enable small

contractors employ local resident in the participating states to undertake activities in the areas of

labour for the projects.

The purpose of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is to:

Identify the beneficial and adverse impacts of the sub-activities on the physical, biological

and socio-economic environments.

Proffer suitable mitigation measures for potentially adverse environmental and social

impacts, and measures for enhancement of positive impacts. This will be accomplished

through a comprehensive Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the

project and a viable Monitoring Plan for evaluating ESMP implementation.

Define the specific actions required, roles and responsibilities for these actions, and

associated costs and,

Define a proposed institutional structure to govern the implementation of the ESMP.

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR viii

The need to prepare an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is to provide a

framework of procedures through which SEEFOR Project will develop and implement

environmental, social, health, and safety management systems, programs, processes and

procedures that will establish a foundation for sound mitigation of adverse impacts,

enhancement of positive impacts, institutional responsibilities, indicative costs for mitigation and

eventual monitoring of the ESMP.

The methodology used for the conduct of the Environmental and Social Management Plan

(ESMP) for the project was based on guidelines as proposed by the following:

Federal Government of Nigeria EIA Law and subsequent Federal Ministry of

Environment standard procedures for conducting EIA/ESIA in Nigeria.

Guidelines documented under the World Bank Environmental Assessment

Operational Policy OP 4.01.

Policy, Legal and Regulatory Framework

The ESMP documents relevant national and international environmental guidelines

applicable to the proposed small public works activities including the safeguard policies

of the World Bank. Some of the national legal instruments identified include the

Environmental Impact Assessment Act No. 86, 1992 (FMEnv), National Guidelines and

Standards for Environmental Pollution Control in Nigeria, Delta State Environmental

Sanitation Authority Edict, 1999, etc. The safeguard policies triggered by the project on

which the ESMP has been prepared is OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment of the World

Bank. The bank’s polices identify Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)

as a critical safeguard instrument for assessing the potential environmental and social

risks and benefits (impacts) associated with investment lending operations.

In the case of divergence between the Nigerian EIA law and safeguard policies of the Bank, the

more stringent policy(s) takes precedence, which in this case is the policy of the donor agency

(the World Bank).

Project Description and Justification

The project is designed around two main components - public financial management (PFM and

service delivery - under which selected activities will be implemented to produce outputs that will

contribute towards the achievement of the PDO. The latter will have three sub-components: a)

training and skills development; (b) youth employment and (c) Community Driven Development

(CDD).

The SEEFOR sub-project involves refuse collection and disposal within the selected six pilot

cities of Delta state. The Refuse Collection and Disposal Project is tailored towards maintaining

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR ix

good hygiene while promoting accountability and transparency in the utilization of public

finances which in turn translates into employment opportunities for the youths.

The improvement in refuse collection and disposal system will play an important role in enabling

ca conducive and health environment for trade and investment as well as ecstatic. This system

will also improve livelihoods and promoting goodwill between the people and the state

government.

Proposed Sanitation Actions

These will include;

Refuse Collection

Refuse Transportation

Refuse Disposal

Description of the Project Area

Delta State is located in the South-south geopolitical zones of Nigeria with a population of

4,098,291 (2006 Census). The states bordering Delta State are Edo to the north, Ondo to the

northwest, Anambra to the east and Bayelsa and Rivers to the southeast. On its southern flank is

160 km of the coastline of the Bight of Benin. The ethnic groups found in Delta State include

Urhobo, Isoko, Anioma, Ijaw and Itsekiri. The natural vegetation is of rainforest with swamp

forest in some areas. The forest is rich in timber trees, palm trees, as well as fruit trees.

Climate and Geology of Delta State

Delta State is located within the lower delta plain believed to have been formed during the

Holocene of the quaternary period by the accumulation of sedimentary deposits. The major

geological characteristic of the state is sedimentary alluvium. The entire state is formed of

abandoned beach ridges and due to many tributaries of the River Niger in this plain, considerable

geological changes still abound.

Delta State has a semi-hot, humid equatorial climate with wide variations from one part of the

state to another. This is a place of uniformly high temperatures throughout the year, high relative

humidity and intense rainfall, which occurs almost year round in the core delta, but becomes

markedly seasonal further inland with increasing distance from the ocean. Copious rainfall

coupled with the low relief and high water table produce frequent.

Baseline Data

Baseline data were acquired during several field trips made to the various project sites and

communities where construction works will be done. And results gathered.

Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures

Potential Positive Impacts of the Road Construction and Rehabilitation Project

The beneficial environmental and social impacts of the project will include:

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR x

Beneficial Impacts

Job creation to the teeming youth of the project communities.

Decrease in social vices.

The project will undertake focal group consultation, which will inform the basics for

project concept decision-making and implementation and inform the basis for focal

group discussions.

Proper maintenance of drainages.

Capacity building for the waste collectors, SEEFOR Project Office.

Encourage investment of interested stakeholders in exploring the waste management

sector of Delta State.

Reduction in ecological issues e.g., flooding.

Intensifying community development programme.

Encourage livelihood-enhancing opportunities.

Improve health and safety in the waste collection processes.

Ensure clean environment within the cities and Delta State at large.

Minimization of nuisance e.g. odour

Reduction in pest and disease within the areas.

Adverse Impacts

Possible air pollution as the waste is transported from source to dumpsite

Possible introduction of new pests, vermin and birds at the dumpsites due to increased

activity

Possible destruction of fences during passage of vehicle on the narrow streets.

Possible land acquisition as new dumpsites may be acquired.

Environmental and Social Management Plan (Enhancement and Mitigation Measures)

Mitigation measures proffered are generally preventive and based on best practices with regards

to impacts arising from identified specific activities to be carried out in the course of the project.

GHG Emissions: Proffered mitigation measures for these include regular maintenance of

Compact trucks for collection, use of specified fuel etc

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR xi

Occupational Health and Safety Risks: Measures for these enforce training of contractor’s personnel

in safe work procedures prior to commencement of works.

Waste Disposal: Waste shall be transported in compact trucks or covered trucks to designated

dumpsites approved by the SME and/or DELSEPA.

Traffic: Line configurations should be used to help reduce road traffic. Also the collection and

disposal should be performed during low traffic period (early in the morning or late at night).

This will coincide with the time when the road will be less busy. Creation of alternate route for

road users during operation. Use of adequate machinery in relation to street size and capacity

(e.g. wheel barrow/smaller vans for smaller streets) to avoid damage to buildings and properties,

Training of drivers on road use, Use of caution signs during operation will mitigate traffic

accidents.

Social impacts: Social mobilization and awareness programs will be conducted on the project and

its benefits to enhance performance of the project. Hospitals, Schools, residents etc. should be

provided facemasks in during work hours to reduce the inhalation of foul odor and emissions.

Incorporate the youths of the project communities into the project from the inception to

minimise conflict, Trainings and capacity building for the youths will be of importance.

Provision of financial/technical assistance to enable PSPs meet required performance target and

procure equipment. Alternative inexpensive yet environmentally sound methods can be

employed or recommended for use (eg dina (15-25 ton) trucks covered with netting or

trampoline), incorporate private dumpsite owners and cart pushers into the project to avoid

loose of income: assign them other duties and responsibilities, develop Capacity building and

skill acquisition programs,

Other mitigation measures for potential contamination of surface water, soils have been

provided.

Monitoring Program

It is planned that the environmental and social impacts and their designed mitigation measures

shall be monitored during implementation of the refuse collection and disposal project. The roles

and responsibilities for monitoring the environmental and social impacts and mitigation

measures are as follows:

The State Employment and Expenditure for Results (SEEFOR) Project SPCU will ensure

implementation of all mitigation measures. The State Ministry of Environment (SME), National

Environmental Standards Regulatory Enforcement Agency (State), and Delta State

Environmental Protection Agency (DELSEPA) will ensure implementation of measures that

concern the environment. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Delta State Transport

Management Authority will ensure that mitigation measures for impacts on traffic are

implemented. Contractors will be responsible for task-specific mitigation. Independent

Consultants will be responsible for the development of management plans as described in the

ESMP (e.g. site-specific safety management plans, site-specific waste management plans,

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR xii

workers, respiratory protection program. Public Health departments in the project cities will be

responsible for monitoring distribution of face masks to schools, offices etc.

The SME/DELSEPA will undertake compliance monitoring and periodic inspection of work

areas. The Ministry of Works will also be involved in some level of monitoring.

All the mitigation measures specified in this plan shall be included in the bid documents for the

successful enterprise to implement. Campaigns on HIV/AIDS, environmental protection and

personal hygiene and sanitation shall also be undertaken. For this purpose, services of

experienced NGOs in the fields would be sought.

The Cost Estimate and Responsibility for the Environmental and Social Managements

Plan

The total cost for Implementing the ESMP and Monitoring Plan based on the two assessed

phases is estimated at One hundred and Twenty Four Thousand US dollars ($124,000.00)

for the Six (6) sites.

Public Consultation

The Stakeholder engagement (Focus Group Consultations) for the Environmental and Social

Management Plan (ESMP) was conducted from26th of February to 4th of March, 2014. The

consultation meetings were held at different locations within each of the six project cities. The

consultation was done to ensure the effective participation and awareness of the stakeholders

and Project Affected Persons (PAPs).

The small group consultations where conducted during field surveys and data gathering. Groups

such as residents, market groups, and Youth leaders, shops, traditional leaders etc. where

consulted to identify their perception of the project and document concerns.

General responses made by groups about the project where optimistic, however the major

concerns where based on the frequency of visit by the PSPs. Other concern noted was the

request to give the waste bags for free.

The public consultation process included:

Enumeration of the objectives for the public consultation

Identification of the major stakeholders

Interactive sessions

Documentation of concerns raised

Groups consulted include, SMEnv, DELSWMB, Market associations, traditional leaders,

SEEFOR SPCU, Dumpsite manager, scavengers, youth associations, residents, shop owners,

hospitals etc.

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR xiii

The issues, concerns and demands raised by the stakeholders during the Public consultation, and

responses provided by the ESMP Consultant have been summarized and are provided below:

ISSUES/CONCERNS/DEMANDS REACTIONS BY SPCU, SMENV,

WMB, CONSULTANT

That the Government should provide them

with approved Dumpsite in cities such as

Warri, Udu, Uvwie, Sapele and Ughelli

Also that Bulldozers be provided at the

Dumpsites to enable 24hour work so as to

avoid over flowing of dirt at dumpsites

The PSPs expressed their fear that politicians

and rich businessmen may hijack the project

and dump the existing Waste collectors. Also

the PSPs pleaded that the SEEFOR SPCU

should try and make the criteria for

qualification too stringent for middle/low

income earners to participate

Also that the SEEFOR SPCU should assist

them in getting Loan facility from Banks to

buy Compactor trucks or Tipping Trucks

That they will need regular training on Health

and Safety

That the government should create access

roads especially in the areas that are not

accessible for easy movement of their truck.

That the SEEFOR should help enforce the use

of the Waste Collectors (PSPs) by residents

The SMEnv, DELSWMB and the Local

Government Authorities will provide

designated dumpsites within close

proximity of each of the cities.

SEEFOR highlighted their effort towards

getting the government to procure the

needed machinery and/or contract the

management of these dumpsites to a

private contractor while the WMB

monitors their activities.

They were assured that the criteria for

selection which is in the PIM would be

followed strictly. And expressed that the

project was primarily to create jobs and not

remove people from their jobs.

They SPCU stated that it is not in their

power to assist the PSP to get loans,

however, they will give technical support

where need be.

SEEFOR inform the PSPs the need to

have Health safety offices in their team and

also stated that trainings may be arranged

in due time.

Stated that there is currently ongoing road

constructions within the state. Also that

they inaccessible areas may need alternative

means of waste evacuation( eg. smaller

vans/wheel barrows)

There may be need to form a task force to

monitor and ensure compliance. The

members of the taskforce should include

people living within their respective zones.

AUGUST 24 2015

Delta State SEEFOR xiv

That the Zones should be further sub-divided

and more PSPs involved as each zone contains

more than the stated number of houses

recommended for the project. This will give

room for better service.

The Residents stated that the SEEFOR should

make the tariff affordable and uniform for the

different categories

The PSPs also stated that the Government

should look into the attacks by youths at the

dumpsites (e.g. Ughelli)

Also other local revenue collector should be

harmonized within the state to avoid double

billing on the PSPs

That the government should also create more

awareness to allow for maximum participation

and cooperation by the residents.

The scavengers suggested that segregation at

source should be encouraged to make their

sorting easier and reduce risk of exposure

especially with HealthCare Waste (needles and

sharps).

The SPCU stated that the enumeration

exercise will assist in knowing the exact

modality to use in dividing the zones. Also

that after a few years, the performance will

be assessed and then determine the need to

further divide the zones.

The tariff will be worked out by a

financial/billing expert to suit individuals,

buildings, industries etc.

Constant awareness and incorporation of

the youths and traditional rulers which is

ongoing will prevent this in the future.

Since the project is backed by the

government, in conjunction with waste

management board and SMEnv, there will

be harmony. So there will not be avenue

for double billing.

There will be continues awareness

campaign as part of the program. This will

involve the media (TV and Radio), NGOs

and other advertising agencies

They were told it may take a while but

something can be started through the

awareness and sensitization. Private sector

companies were also encouraged to buy

into the project as they can recover wealth

from waste generated

Budget: A total of $124,000.00 is required for the implementation of this ESMP. The break down for

each of the cities is as follows: Asaba $24,800.00; Sapele $24, 800.00; Udu $12,400.00.; Ughelli $24,800.00;

Uvwue $12,400.00.; and Warri $24,800.00.

In conclusion, the proposed mitigation and monitoring plan for the identified potential adverse impacts for the

Delta SEEFOR sanitation project in six pilot cities in Delta state if adhered to will be adequate for the project.

Based on this, the activities should be allowed to proceed.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

The Federal Government of Nigeria has requested the assistance of the World Bank in

implementing the multi-state and multi-sectoral State Employment and Expenditure for Results

(SEEFOR).

The project development objective (PDO) is to enhance opportunities for employment and

access to socio-economic services, while improving the public expenditure management systems

in the participating states.

The main beneficiaries of the project are the four state governments with selected ministries,

departments and agencies and communities in Balyesa, Edo, Delta and Rivers states.

Specifically the direct beneficiaries of Component A – Youth Employment and Access to Socio-

Economic services – are mainly youths who are unemployed and/or seeking to be trained in

vocational and technical courses in order to find jobs or set up on their own, the technical and

vocational training institutions themselves and the state ministries of education and agriculture.

In addition, the state agencies responsible for public works and waste management will be

provided with technical assistance for their oversight function on the sub-component for youth

employment. The beneficiaries of the CDD sub-component are community groups and

associations in the four participating states, including farmers, women groups and youths in the

rural areas. The PFM component will provide technical assistance to support reforms and

capacity building in MDAs that deal with state public finance. These will include offices and staff

of Ministries of Budget and/or Economic Planning, Finance, Due Process/Public Procurement,

Board of Internal Revenue and State Houses of Assembly.

Achievement of the PDO will be measured by the following key performance indicators:

(a) Number of people employed under SEEFOR youth employment program in

participating states (disaggregated by self-employed, formal employment, and gender);

(b) Number of people with access to services supported in targeted communities

(disaggregated by specific services: water points, classrooms, electricity connections,

improve sanitation facilities, etc.);

(c) Percentage deviation of actual aggregate expenditure from budgeted expenditure in the

participating states; and

(d) Percentage of public contracts above threshold awarded through competitive process in

each participating state.

Despite being the second largest economy in Africa, unemployment of the youths in Nigeria is a

vital issue that needs urgent intervention. Overall unemployment rate is about 21.4% and youth

(15- 24 years) unemployment is about 25.2% and has been rising (NBS, 2011). The SEEFOR

Project seeks to ensure that interventions through the various sub-projects address the

unemployment issue in the various project states where the project will be implemented.

AUGUST 24 2015


The SEEFOR Project consist of three components:

Component A: Youth Employment and Access to Socio-Economic Services

Component A will support three main activity areas:

Sub-component A1: Youth employment through small public works contracts and

institutional strengthening.

Sub-component A2: Grants to public technical, vocational and agricultural training

institutions.

Sub-component A3: Grants for community driven development initiatives.

Component B: Public Financial Management Reforms

Component C: Project Implementation Support and Coordination

The sub-project, for which this consultancy service is prepared for, focuses on the Sub-

component A1. The overall objective of the sub-project is to ensure employment generation

through small public works and access to socio-economic services while improving the Public

Financial Management system of the four participating State. This is tailored towards promoting

accountability and transparency in the utilization of public finances, which in turn translates into

employment opportunities for the youths. The public works on Refuse collection and disposal

activity will enable small contractors employ local labour resident in the participating states to

undertake activities in the areas of Collection, Disposal and Sorting of Refuse.

As one of the beneficiary state, Delta state intends to apply part of the proceeds for provision of

consultancy services for the Preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan

(ESMP) for the Public Works Activity (Refuse Collection and Disposal) in six pilot cities; Asaba,

Warri, Uvwie, Udi, Sapele and Ughelli.

Several documents have been prepared in line with the SEEFOR Project and they include: an

Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF), SEEFOR Project Appraisal

Document (PAD) and SEEFOR Project Implementation Manual (PIM).

1.2 Purpose of the ESMP

The ESMP is an instrument that details the measures to be taken during the implementation and

operation of a project to eliminate or offset adverse environmental and social impacts or to

reduce them to acceptable levels; and the actions needed to implement these measures. The

ESMP is an integral part of Category “A” Environmental Assessments (EAs) (irrespective of

other instruments used). EAs for Category “B” projects may also result in an ESMP. However,

the sub-projectis a Category B project as the impacts are envisaged to be minor and reversible

with more likely beneficial impacts in the short and long- term.

The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) provides a framework of

procedures through which SEEFOR will develop and implement environmental, social, health,

and safety management systems, programs, processes and procedures that will establish a

AUGUST 24 2015


foundation for sound mitigation of adverse impacts, enhancement of positive impacts,

institutional responsibilities, indicative costs for mitigation and eventual monitoring of the

ESMP.

The ESMP outlines DELTA STATE SEEFOR SPCU corporate commitment to managing the

project in a responsible, safe and sustainable manner whereby the protection of the environment,

safety of people and social concerns take priority above all other business concerns.

The ESMP will also ensure compliance with applicable environmental standards all through the

life span of the projects. If the recommendations and guidelines in this ESMP document are

followed, it is envisaged that the anticipated potential negative environmental and social impacts

associated with the sub-project will be markedly minimized, and the positive impacts enhanced.

The Bank will disclose the ESMP document publicly, in Nigeria and at the World Bank Info-

shop before project appraisal.

1.3 Objectives of the ESMP

The Overall objective of the ESMP is to ensure that the environmental and social issues likely to

arise from the project activities are addressed and appropriate mitigation actions are integrated

into the project implementation phase to protect the environment.

Specific objectives of this ESMP include the following:

To examine the project in terms of its major activities and identify the aspects associated

with the project construction which generate environmental impacts,

Identify the environmental issues associated with the major activities,

Develop mitigation measures for the aspects identified as having environmental impacts,

Incorporate environmental mitigation measures into activities and develop corrective actions

and ensure monitoring.

Define the specific actions required, roles and responsibilities for these actions, and

associated costs and,

Define a proposed institutional structure to govern the implementation of the ESMP.

1.4 Objective of the Consultancy Service

The objective of the Consultancy Services under this sub-component of the SEEFOR project is

to provide detailed information on the environmental and social impacts of the public works

activities (refuse collection and disposal) to generate an Environmental and Social Management

Plan (ESMP) for possible mitigation of environmental and social impact triggered in the cause of

project implementation.

This report therefore, focuses on the Environmental and Social Management Plan for the Refuse

collection and Disposal Activities in six (6) pilot cities in Delta State. The cities include Asaba,

AUGUST 24 2015


Warri, Uvwie, Udi, Sapele and Ughelli.

1.4.1 Scope of Works

The Consultant is required to carry out the following:

Identify the potential environmental and social impact of the project activities on the

environment and people in the project area.

Identify feasible and cost effective measures that may reduce potentially significant

adverse environmental and social impact to acceptable levels;

Identifying monitoring objectives and specify the type of monitoring with linkages to the

impacts assessed and mitigation measures

Provide specific description of institutional arrangements: the agencies responsible for

carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures (e.g. operations, supervision,

enforcement, monitoring and implementation, remedial action, financing, reporting, and

staff training) and contractual arrangements for assuring the performance of each

implementing agency;

Define technical assistance programs that could strengthen an environmental

management capability in the agencies responsible for implementation;

Provide an implementation schedule for measures that must be carried out as part of the

project, showing phasing and coordination with overall project implementation plan;

Provide the expected capital and recurrent cost estimate for implementing the EMP so

that these costs are duly taken into consideration in the (State Project Coordinating Unit)

SSPCU work plan;

The consultant shall assist the SSPCU to:

i. Register the EMP with the Environmental Assessment (EA) Department at

the Federal level and State levels; and

ii. Disclose the finalized EMP at National, State LGAs and Community levels

Any other related tasks that may be assigned.

1.5 Overview of Institutional Responsibilities

The project is viewed to exhibit multi-sector operation, as the institutional arrangements need to

pragmatically involve Federal and State ministries, and Ministries Department and Agencies

(MDAs). The lead agency at the Federal level is the National Planning Commission and Federal

Ministry of Finance while that of State is the Ministry responsible for Finance, State and Local

Governments, State Ministries of Economic Planning, Environment, Works, Agriculture and

Natural Resources, Ministry of Water Resources Development. Ministry of Lands, Urban and

Regional Planning The Local Communities and Civil Societies Organization (CSOs) will also be

involved in the project, given that the project is a multi-sector operation involving Activity

Executing Agencies (AEAs) concerned with public works.

AUGUST 24 2015


1.6 Project Categorization

The Adverse impacts of the Refuse Collection and Disposal Activities under the SEEFOR

Project will be largely reversible, indirect and short term. Considering the aforementioned, the

project falls suitable into the World Bank’s category B, hence the most suitable safeguard

instrument to address beneficial and adverse impacts is an Environmental and Social

Management Plan (ESMP).

1.7 Technical Approach and Methodology

This ESMP has been prepared in accordance with standard procedures for environmental

assessment including the applicable World Bank (WB) safeguard policies and Nigerian

environmental assessment guidelines.

Literature Review: The methodology adopted for the ESMP studies involved an intensive

application of desk reviews & collection of all relevant information in order to achieve successful

outputs. Information was garnered from the Delta SEEFORSPCU.

These include;

1. Project Implementation Manual (PIM) for the SEEFOR Project

2. Project Appraisal Document (PAD) for the SEEFOR Project

2.2 Physical Environment of Delta State

2.2.1 Climate

Delta State has a semi-hot, humid equatorial climate with wide variations from one part of the

state to another. This is a place of uniformly high temperatures throughout the year, high relative

humidity and intense rainfall, which occurs almost year round in the core delta, but becomes

markedly seasonal further inland with increasing distance from the ocean. Copious rainfall

coupled with the low relief and high water table produce frequent.

The natural vegetation is of rainforest with swamp forest in some areas. The forest is rich in

timber trees, palm trees, as well as fruit trees.

2.2.2 Temperature

Temperatures are high and fairly constant throughout the year. The area is has a mean annual

temperature of 32.8 °C. Average monthly temperatures for the warmest months (February to

April) range from 28 °C to 33 °C, while the average monthly temperatures for the coolest

months, June to September, range from 21 °C to 23 °C.

2.2.3 Rainfall

The region experiences moderate rainfall and moderate humidity for most part of the year. The

climate is equatorial and is marked by two distinct seasons: the dry season and the rainy season.

The dry season lasts from about November to April and is significantly marked by the cool

"harmarttan" dusty haze from the north-east winds. The rainy season spans May to October with

Figure 2.0 Average Temperature for Delta State

AUGUST 24 2015


a brief dry spell in August, but it frequently rains even in the dry season. The area is

characterized by tropical equatorial climate with annual rainfall amount of 2673.8 mm

2.2.4 Relative humidity

The pattern of relative humidity correlated with that of the rainfall described above. High values

(over 95%) occurred in the rainy season. In the dry season, the high daily relative humidity values

ranged from 86.5 to 92.0% and occurred between 2100 and 2400hrs and later from 0100 to

0800hrs.

2.2.5 Wind Speed

Wind speed is usually about 4 m/s under calm conditions most of the year. Relatively higher

wind speeds may occur mainly in the afternoons inducing convective activities and creating

diffusion characteristics. Incidences of these are often associated with thunder and lightning

especially during changing seasons. Atmospheric disturbances such as line squalls and

disturbance lines often induce the variability that results in speeds higher than 6 m/s. Such

increases characterize the beginning of rainy season (March-April) and end of heavy rains

(September-October), during which storms are more frequent. The harmattan season (December

to February) can give rise to occasional high wind regimes.

2.2.6 Wind Direction

Wind directions are quite variable over the region. Data shows that about 60% of the winds are

south-westerlies and westerlies during the day in the wet season (NIMET). Southerlies, south

easterlies and south westerlies prevail more in the night during the period. This implies that

directions are usually more variable in the nights than in the mornings.

The winds are mostly northerlies, north easterlies and north westerlies in the dry season

particularly in the mornings. They are more of sourtherlies, south easterlies and/or westerlies

during the evenings, indicating the fairly strong influences of the adjoining maritime oceanic air

masses, contrasting land and sea breezes as well as appreciable degree of differential heating of

the two surfaces.

2.2.7 Geology

The geology consists of three major sedimentary cycles have occurred since the early Cretaceous.

The subsurface stratigraphic units associated with the cycles are, the Benin, the Agbada and the

Akata Formations (Kogbe, 1976). The surface rock throughout the state consists of the

OgwashiUku formation. The Benin formation is about 1800m and consists of loose and

unconsolidated sands. The underlying Agbada Formation, which consists of sandstone and

shales, is, however, rich in hydrocarbons. It is up to 3000m and is underlain by the Akata

Formation. The OgwashiAsaba Formation that underlies the northeast consists of an alternation

of lignite seams and clay.

There are four broad ecological zones in the region defined by both relief and hydrological

characteristics. These are, from the coast inland;

the coastal sandy barrier ridge zone

the mangrove swamp zone

AUGUST 24 2015


the freshwater swamp zone and

the lowland rainforest zone.

The coastal sandy barrier zone, as the name suggests, is made up of a chain of sandy barrier

islands, which are separated by numerous estuaries and inlets. The islands are generally less than

one metre above the sea level at high tide. They extend along the outer coastline from the Benin

River to the Imo River. Typically, they are 16 to 20 kilometres wide. Because of their relatively

higher topography, which keeps them from the tidal influence of the marine and brackish waters,

the coastal barrier islands support freshwater forests and associated fauna. These islands are also

often flooded during the year when rainfall is heavy.

The mangrove swamp zone occurs immediately after the barrier islands. It is the swampiest of

the ecological zones, being essentially a massive swamp dotted with islands of dry land covering

about 10,240 square kilometres (Mosunmolu, 1998). Most of the zone is at elevations of less

than one metre, and it is generally muddy and under tidal influence. Within the zone are feeder

channels that move tidal waters into the swamp, connecting channels and inter-fluves.

The freshwater swamp zone is characterized by seasonal flooding. It is during the rainy season

that its swampy characteristics are vividly obvious. It has the most distinct subdivisions, is most

diverse in terms of biology and supports a similar ecology to the one in the coastal barrier

islands. The zone's three subdivisions are the flood forest zone or 'upper delta', the marsh forest

zone and the eastern flank. The flood forest subdivision has large sand river channels, permanent

creeks and seasonal flood creeks, and is inundated annually by the Niger River flood. Flood-free

levees are common, while back swamps and cane forests help give the zone a highly diverse

habitat. The marsh forest subdivision is also referred to as the transition zone. It is permanently

swampy and under flooding from freshwater. Muddy swamp channels and raffia swamps can be

found in the zone, and its species of wildlife are usually different from those of the flood forest

zone.

The lowland rainforest zone is in the northern part of this region, beyond the areas of dense

river and creek networks. It is not considered within the area defined by the natural limits of the

Niger Delta, but falls within the broader Niger Delta area. This is the least swampy part of the

region. It has a varied geology and terrain, but sedimentary rock formations, mostly sandstone

with some shale and limestone, underlie most areas.

2.2.8 Soil

There are three types of soil in Delta State. These consist of alluvial soil on the marine deposits

along the coast; alluvial and hydromorphic soils on marine and lacustrine deposits found in the

area closest to the Niger and Benin rivers; and the ferral soils on loose sandy sediments in the

dry land areas of the north and northeast.

2.2.9 Drainage

The River Niger drains the eastern flank of the state and discharges into the sea through its

several distributaries such as the Forcados, Escravos and Warri rivers and creeks such as the

Bomadi creeks, amongst others. Rivers Jamieson and Ethiope rise from the north and northeast

AUGUST 24 2015


respectively, and subsequently join and form the Benin River, which eventually dis charges into

the sea in the West.

2.3 Biological Environment

The ecologically sensitive areas are the mangrove and freshwater swamp forests. The mangrove

forest is a productive area. It serves as spawning and nursery grounds for shell and finfishes. The

mangroves also serve as nesting sites for aquatic and migratory birds and other animals. The

swamp forest was rich in biodiversity (wide variety of economic plants, medicinal plants and

animal life).

2.3.1 Flora

The vegetation varies from the mangrove swamp along the coast, to the evergreen forest in the

middle, and the savannah in the northeast.

2.3.2 Fauna

The area is known for its fishing activities especially in the southern parts. Several species of

freshwater fish are found in the area. The area is also blessed with shrimps, crabs and dried fish.

Other wildlife found in the project area include grass cutters, Antelopes, etc. Furthermore, cattle,

goat, sheep, poultry and pig were some of the livestock sited within the project area.

AUGUST 24 2015


2.3.3 Ecological Issues

The Niger Delta coast is currently faced with a gamut of environmental problems, including: Soil

and coastal erosion; oil pollution; population pressure; and flooding. Flooding is one of the

commonest, given the existing hydro-climatologic conditions. In this coastal area high tidal

range, which causes diurnal flooding and the creation of brackish water is common (Oni, 2003).

On the whole, economic activities can be truncated and infrastructure destroyed in an event of

sea level rise caused by climate change, while the already common problems associated with the

local rainfall regime and tidal influences, can be accentuated, thus increasing the physical and

socio-economic vulnerability.

2.4 Social Environment

2.4.1 Demographics

The study was conducted to identify and document the demographic data of the project

communities such as population, literacy level, occupation, dependency level, housing and social

amenities. These data will be useful not only in establishing the importance of the SEEFOR

project but equally in quantifying the environmental and social impacts of the planned works

which will help determine the management plans for the said project. More importantly, the

baseline data will be useful for monitoring and evaluating the post implementation condition of

the community and by implication the success of the project.

2.4.1.1Delta State

Delta State is an oil and agricultural producing state of Nigeria, situated within the region known

as the Niger Delta region of the South-South geo-political zone with a population of 4,098,291

(males: 2,674,306; females: 2,024,085).

The capital city is Asaba, located at the northern end of the state, with an estimated area of 762

square kilometres (294 sq mi), while Ogwashi-Uku has the biggest land space for any industry,

Warri is the economic nerve of the state and also the most populated located in the southern end

of the state. The state has a total land area of 16,842 Km2.

It comprise distinct Igbo subgroups of Enuani, Ukwani, Ndokwa and Ika, collectively referred to

as Anioma, and the Delta people made up of the Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw and Isoko ethnic groups.

The first group has a historical affiliation with the Igbos of eastern Nigeria, although some parts

of it are more Igbo than others while the second group occupy the Central and South Senatorial

districts of the state. They speak different languages but have a loosely related culture as they

traded and intermarried for centuries before colonization. Most inhabitants of the state practice

Christianity and very few traditional faiths.

2.4.1.1.1 Asaba

Asaba, is strategically located on a hill at the western edge of the majestic River Niger. The

historic River Niger is a trans-African link beginning from West Africa and down into the

Atlantic Ocean. Asaba forms a connector between western, eastern and northern Nigeria

AUGUST 24 2015


through the River Niger from the north and via the Asaba Niger Bridge, an east west link and a

Nigeria landmark.

Asaba lies approximately 6 degrees north of the equator and about the same distance east of the

meridian; about 100 miles north of where the River Niger flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The

greater Asaba occupies an area of about 300 square kilometers. It maintains an average tropical

temperature of 90 degrees during the dry season and an average fertile rainfall of 6 inches during

the rainy season.

2.4.1.1.2 Sapele

Sapele was established as a trading village, occasionally visited by Europeans. In 1891, the British

government established a vice-consulate at Sapele. The population grew to 33,638 by 1952,

including people from many Nigerian tribes.

Today, the city has one of Nigeria's major ports. Its industries include the processing of timber,

rubber, and palm oil, as well as furniture, tamarind balm and footwear manufacturing. As of

1995, its population was 135,800. And as of 2005/2006, the population of this advancing city is

142,652.

2.4.1.1.3 Udu

Udu is a Local Government Area in Delta State, Nigeria. Udu is one of the Urhobo kingdoms,

and it has its own king, or ovie. It has a population estimate of approximately 100,000 people and

it is about 5 minutes’ drive away from Warri Airport. Its local government headquarters is Otor-

Udu.

Udu's natural resources include rubber and rubber products, palm oil and palm products,

cassava, fruits, vegetables and maize available in large quantities. Silica is available in a nearby

town for the manufacture of glass and also is crude oil, natural gas and other minerals for the

petrochemical industry.

2.4.1.1.4 Ughelli

Ughelli is a town in Delta State, Nigeria. The city of Ughelli has an 'Ovie', which is the traditional

ruler. The indigenes of Ughelli town have a yearly celebration festival called 'Omanuku'.

According to the 1991 census Ughelli had a population of 54,206; a 2007 estimate places its

population at 82,994.

The town was originally an agricultural center, but industry has now developed there. Petroleum

extraction by Shell occurs in the vicinity. The major schools in are the Anglican Girls Grammar

School and St Theresa's College. Government College, Kogbodi International School, Noble

Crest Secondary School. The town is also the home of Our Lady of the Waters Cathedral, seat of

the Roman Catholic Apostolic Vicariate of Bomadi. A famous producer of glass bottles

Frigoglass's factory is located here.

2.4.1.1.5 Uvwie

AUGUST 24 2015


Uvwie is a Local Government Area (LGA) in Delta State. It is one of the Urhobo Kingdoms and

has a king, Ovie, who rules over the traditional institution of the town. It is a gateway town in and

out of the city of Warri. A centre of civilization for the Urhobo people, Effurun is the

headquarters of the Uvwie local government area.

It is a densely populated region and has many of the city's finest exotic hotels for relaxation such

as Wellington Hotel, Hotel Excel, Mega Hilton Hotel, GT Maines Hotels and Suites, Casa De

Pedro Hotel.

2.4.1.1.6 Warri

Warri is one of the hubs of petroleum related businesses in the southern Nigeria. It is a

commercial city in Delta State, Nigeria, with a population of over 311,970 people according to

the national population census figures for 2006. The city is one of cosmopolitan cities in

southern Nigeria comprising mainly Urhobos, Isokos, Itsekiris, and Ijaws. Warri is

predominantly Christian, as is most of Southern Nigeria. The city is known nationwide for its

unique Pidgin English.

Warri is regarded as a modern metropolitan area with expanded infrastructural development in

other Local Government Areas (L.G.A.) such as Uvwie, Udu, Ughelli and Okpe in recent years,

with various road networks linking these places into one. Each of these L.G.A has its own

administrative structure.

2.4.2Local Economy

Fishing and agriculture are the two major traditional occupations of the Niger Delta peoples.

During the colonial era, forestry was introduced as the third major economic activity in the

region. Today, agriculture, fishing and forestry still account for about 44 per cent of

employment. However, all three economic activities have declined since the ascendancy of the

oil industry.

The urban sector, with its concentration of informal sector activities, plays a growing role in the

economy of the region. Trading, services, and miscellaneous activities are the most important

areas of employment, after agriculture, fishing and forestry overall.

One major contemporary challenge facing the region's economy may be how to revamp the rural

economy by optimizing and modernizing agriculture as well as fishing.

Various companies and facilities are located within the state. These include:

Federal and State Universities,

Federal University of Petroleum Resources

Petroleum Training Institute

Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation

Refinery

Oil and Gas Companies

AUGUST 24 2015


Modern market

Timber and Plywood industry

Glass Manufacturing Industry

Steel Company

Textile mill

Rubber industry

Ceramic industries

Cement and block industries

Livestock feed industry

Plastic industries etc.

2.4.3Land Use/Tenure

While majority of the land use is for agricultural purposes others are for residential

settlement, market places and public reserve for future development uses.

A combination of traditional land ownership system and government ownership of land

is observed in the area.

2.4.4Historic and Cultural Resources

Cultural resources in any country are very important in identifying any particular group of

people. In some cultures, rivers, mountains, trees, etc are revered. There are sacred groves and

shrines, religious artifacts and places of worship- churches, Masjid (Mosques), cemeteries, etc,

which people tend to have emotional attachment and sensibility.

In Delta State, scared shrines, lakes and forests are scattered throughout the study area. Sacred

forests, streams and lakes are categorized as cultural and natural resources, to which most of

communities had access. While some of these resources which are revered or worshipped are

within the community, others are some distance away. (e.g. a shrine near a burial ground along

Reclamation Rd in Sapele).

2.4.5Unemployment Rate in Delta State

The unemployment rate in Delta state is typical to most of the Niger-Delta state is still very high.

Lack of employment has led to the increase of young people going into the militant and violent

tendencies. The SEEFOR project intends to ensure that youth are gainfully employed in the

most parts of the cities. Thus, ensuring that livelihoods are improved and more youth employed.

2.5 Socio-economics Assessment

The socio-economic assessment studies were aimed at examining the socioeconomic conditions

of the communities living around the six projects areas in Delta state. This is to ensure that the

potential impacts of the proposed project is captured and described while proffering solutions to

possible negative impacts to human habitat, health and livelihoods.

The specific objectives of the study include:

To elicit information about the existing socioeconomic and demographic

characteristics of the inhabitants living around the proposed project cities.

To document the distributional characteristics of the socioeconomic components in

the project area.

To analyse the patterns of the relationships of the socioeconomic components

To discuss and deduce the effect of the patterns on the environment of the proposed

Refuse Collection and Disposal Activity through the perceptions of the respondents.

To provide a baseline data for the assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of the

proposed project.

Suggest mitigation measures and environmental management plan for the proposed

project.

2.5.1 Methodology

The general methodology used for the socio-economic impact assessment employed the

collection of primary and secondary source data. The primary sources data gathering comprised

of questionnaire administration, group interviews, discussions and direct observations. Secondary

data was obtained from the National Population Commission. Structured questionnaires were

administered to people in residential areas, administrative offices, commercial establishments,

schools, families, youth leaders etc. Data collected was analysed using Microsoft Excel 2007.

Areas for socio-economic assessment studies were selected at random while taking into

consideration likely areas to be affected during the operation of the project.

A random sampling survey was carried out in the communities within six project cities. Semi

structured questionnaires (Annex 4) were administered to a total of 1500 respondents.

2.5.1.1Population and Gender characteristics

The survey shows that about 38% of the respondents in the 6 project areas are males while 62%

are females. Warri accounts for the highest number of males (73%) while Sapele accounts for the

lowest number of males (43%).

were 0.3% and 0.2% respectively.

2.5.1.4 Religion

The overall mean result show that Christianity is the predominant religion in the area with a

representation of about 98.9%. Islam is 0.8%, while traditional religion and others account for

0.7%.

2.5.1.5 Duration of Respondents residency in the Project area

Result from the survey show that at least 82.5% of the respondents have lived in their various

neighbourhoods and communities for 5 years and above. The overall mean proportion of those

who have lived in their community for less than 1 year is 0.3%. The above result implies that

the majority of the respondents have lived within the project area long enough to provide

valid information on the socio-economic conditions of their areas.

The Survey on occupational distribution shows that the private sector is the economic main-stay

(23%) for the people. However, business/petty trading (self-employment- 20%) plays a major

role in the economy of the people within these areas.

2.5.1.7 Household size

Results show a homogenous distribution pattern of household sizes in the project areas, with

majority of sampled households having 5-6 persons as members. This implies a moderately

high consumption of goods which translates directly to Waste generation within the

project areas.

2.5.1.8 Income

80% of the respondents have an annual earning of ₦ 500,001 and above with 20% earning

between ₦ 51,000 to ₦ 500,000.

2.5.1.9 Expenditure on Waste Disposal

While 20% of respondents spend about ₦ 1,000 to ₦ 2,000 monthly on waste disposal, 70% of

respondents dispose waste at illegal dumpsites therefore do not pay for waste disposal. As little

as 10% of the respondents pay less than ₦ 1000 most of which patronise the existing Waste

Collection system (PAPs).

AUGUST 24 2015


2.5.1.10 Willingness to pay for Waste Disposal

Survey results show that 78.5% of respondents are willing to pay for Waste disposal under the

project. 31.6% of the respondents prefer to pay between ₦ 200 to ₦ 300 while 30% are willing to

pay ₦ 500- ₦ 1000. 9% of the respondents expressed willingness to pay ₦ 1500 monthly for waste

disposal.

Reason given for the unwillingness of some respondents to pay for waste disposal was that they

have swamps/ bush behind and around their houses where they can easily dispose of the waste

without pay. Others were of the opinion that they government should give them good access

roads and drainages around their homes before the issue of payment for waste disposal. Most of

those not willing to pay live within the cluster settlements and villages.

2.5.2 Transport and access

Field studies showed that traffic congestion is a critical issue along major roads within the project

LGAs particularly Effurun-Sapelle Road, Airport Road, Olu Palace Road, Effurun Round

About, Eneren junction, Udu Secretariat Road etc. This occurrence is always at its peak during

the early hours of the morning and at close of work. It was noticed that the movement of people

to places of business/work is a major contributing factor to traffic congestion. Another

contributing factor is the major road expansion and rehabilitation going on within the state. This

has resulted in closure of some lanes and constitute hindrance to access.

However, the road expansion and rehabilitation projects are envisaged to alleviate the issues of

heavy traffic congestion in the near future.

2.5.3 Conflicts and Grievance Redress Mechanism

The people of the project area strongly believe that their various governments (state and local)

have failed them. Stating that directly or indirectly, the government and its agencies, through

negligence or outright failure, have over the years been implicated in most conflicts in the region.

For instance, the government is seen to have fallen short on maintaining an environmentally

sound dumpsite in Ughelli which has on several occasions lead to the youths preventing the

PSPs from using the dumpsite and in most cases extort money or even impound their trucks.

Also regulations have been inadequate in terms of requiring companies to adopt and operate

uniform corporate responsibility measures. Declining economic performance leading to rising

unemployment or underemployment; a lack of access to basic necessities of life like water,

shelter, health facilities, food and clothing; discriminatory policies that deny access to positions

of authority and influence so people can participate in shaping the rules by which they are

governed have also played major roles in conflicts within the area.

Due to the inter-and-intra community conflicts, government and community conflicts, oil

companies and community conflicts which had existed conflict resolution strategy does exist in a

number of the communities.

AUGUST 24 2015


The following strategies are used in resolving conflict in the communities: community meetings,

elders-in-council, dialogue, council of chiefs, appeals and summons, elders’ assembly, religious

leaders, juju priests, youth council, women groups, the police and courts.

Conflict resolution could attract penalties such as fines, seizures of assets and ostracisation. A

grievance redress mechanism has is included in Annex five.

2.6 Overview of the current waste management situation in pilot cities

This study focuses on Delta State and the pilot cities that are considered for the implementation

of the sub-project includes; Asaba, Warri, Uvwie, Udi, Sapele and Ughelli. The study areas

currently have ongoing waste collection systems; however the system is faced with several

operational challenges. Comingled waste are collected weekly at the collection points from

houses, industries, health facilities, industries, schools and other relevant facilities. The waste

collectors are called Private Service Providers (PSPs). These PSPs usually have a functional

office, with vehicles and workers. The PSPs collect wastes form allocated zones and dump them

at the dumpsites. These wastes are not segregated from source nor sorted by the PSPs. Most of

the dumpsites are also not state approved.

Field visits indicated some irregularities with the system of waste collection in the cities. Most

members of households or facilities as the case maybe do not cooperate with modus operandi of

the PSPs. Payments for waste collections services are not made.

The types of wastes generated are mostly from domestic, agricultural, fishing, commercial,

industrial and trading activities, as well as human/animal fecal deposits.

Generally, in the location within the rural and urban areas, the identified refuse disposal methods

in the communities include: open dumping, bush dumping, Rivers, streams/creeks and swamps

and organized collection.

In some parts of the urban area of Asaba, Sapele, Warri, Uvwie, Udu, and Ughelli, domestic

wastes, commercial/trading center wastes are collected in Bins, plastic basins or buckets, nylon

bags, and paper cartons. The State Waste Management Board in collaboration with some Private

Sector Partners (Waste Collectors) collect these waste from residence, markets, industries and

healthcare facilities with the use of trucks for onward disposal at designated dumpsites.

While Asaba has a government-approved dumpsite, Uvwie, Udu and Warri have none but make

use of land owned by indigenes (Private dumpsite) that collect payment from the PSPs. One is

managed by Donparker which is almost full.

Ughelli with a new government designated dumpsite is not utilized as the area is inaccessible

especially during the rainy season. The old designated dumpsite for the area is full and

overflowing into adjacent road. This causes nuisance to residence and has caused the youths of

the area preventing PSPs from dumping at this location.

It was observed that most of the dumpsites used are either illegal sites or full and encroaching

into roads causing nuisance as observed in Ughelli, Sapele

AUGUST 24 2015


Thus in general, wastes generated are disposed indiscriminately along kerbs, on main roads,

along the highway, bushes, rivers/stream, and creeks. Only few compliant residence dispose their

waste through the organized Refuse collection by the PAPs.

2.6.1 Waste characterisation and quantification The table below gives a picture of quantity of waste generated within each of the cities in the

project area. Estimate was gotten from household observations, dumpsite truck count and

interviews from dumpsite managers, and PSPs/waste workers.

Table 3 Estimated waste generation per city

S/N City Waste Generation (tons)

6 Warri 437 3,534 14,136

TOTAL 2,378 11,775 53,520

It was observed that an average family of 4 living within the project area generate about 25kg

waste/week. This gives a total of 100kg/month. From field count at the dumpsite and interview

of waste workers and dumpsite managers it was estimated that about an average of 500tons of

comingled waste is generated in Asaba on daily bases (i.e. 20 trucks) and deposited at the

dumpsite. About 125tons of waste is generated in Uvwie and Udu each. Warri generates about

500tons daily while Ugheli and Sapele generate average of 240tons and 200tons daily

respectively.

Majority of the waste were organic wastes (79%). About 6.9% of waste generated in all the cities

were recyclable wastes. This consist of mainly plastics, nylon and glasses. The non-recyclable

wastes made up 14.1% of the total waste stream generated in the project area.

2.6.1 Existing Refuse Management Conditions

Asaba

In Asaba, the existing refuse collection structure includes PSPs. These PSPs have been in

existence before the SEEFOR project. A total of 40 zones (See AnnexThree), which includes the

dumpsite, was created by the PSPs within the town and are currently working according to their

delegated zones. They (PSPs) source customers within their individual zones and also follow up

with collection of payment. PSPs use small trucks (e.g. Daina) for collection and disposal. They

have an average staff of 5. The PSPs provide waste management workers with PPEs but do not

completely enforce the use. There is also little HSE training provided.

Currently, there is a government allocated dumpsite in place along Asaba-Benin expressway. This

dumpsite is managed by the Waste Management Board with an appointed member of the PSP

Association. Scavengers also were seen at the site sorting and collecting different material

(clothes, metal, plastic etc.).

AUGUST 24 2015


Figure 3Waste Collector at Dumpsite Figure 2Waste Bins at a Residential Area

Figure 5 one of the Inaccessible area at Cable point Figure 4 Pay loader at work at the Dumpsite

The PSPs register yearly with the WMB and also pay money at the dumpsite part of which is

used by the board for the management of the dumpsite while the remainder is kept in the PSPs

Association purse. There is No segregation of waste at source and disposal (dumpsites). Even

medical wastes are also muddled up with household and industrial wastes.

The government approved dumpsite is currently full and the only available pay loader works

daily trying to push back the overflowing refuse further into the site.

There is high compliance of households and businesses to waste collection operation. However

some pockets of illegal dump spots were observed. This is usually the case in areas that are

inaccessible to the PSPs due to bad road, flooding or street planning (e.g. cable point).

AUGUST 24 2015

Ughelli

In Ughelli, the existing refuse collection structure includes PSPs. Just as seen in Asaba, these

PSPs have been in existence before the SEEFOR project. A total of 11 zones (See Annex 5)

were created within the town. With the help of pick-up trucks and Daina trucks, PSPs work

within their delegated zones. They (PSPs) source customers within their individual zones and

also follow up with collection of payment. The PSPs provide waste management workers with

PPEs but do not completely enforce the use. There is also little HSE training provided.

The allocated dumpsite by the Local government in Ekiugbo is overfull and obstructing access

road, causing a nuisance to nearby communities.

It was also observed that there is poor compliance by residences as only about 8% of the Ughelli

populace is being served by the PSPs. This is due to awareness (50%) of the importance, income

status and poor access road (e.g. Upagbaru extension). This has resulted in multiple illegal

dumpsites which were observed particularly along Ughelli-Warri express road.

There is also No segregation of waste at source and disposal (dumpsites).

AUGUST 24 2015

Udu

In Udu, the existing refuse collection structures include PSPs. Just as seen in Asaba, these PSPs

have been in existence before the SEEFOR project. A total of 32 zones (See Annex 5) were

created within the town. With the help of pick-up and Daina trucks, PSPs work within their

delegated zones. The PSPs source for clients individually, provides different tariffs and collects

payments individually. The PSPs provide waste management workers with PPEs but do not

completely enforce the use. There is also little HSE training provided.

The government allocated dumpsite was closed in 2012 as it was overfull and causing nuisance to

nearby residents as development began around the area. This has led to most PSPs resorting to

dumping refuse at illegal (privately owned) dumpsite at high cost for disposal. As a result large

number of illegal dumpsites was observed particularly along the major express road. However,

recently one of the PSPs executives agree to allow his dumpsite to be used for the program but

the hindering factor is poor access road into the site. The road needs to be covered with bitumen

and latarite to enable access.

It was also observed that there is little compliance by households and business premises. This is

due to awareness (40%) of the importance, income status and poor access road. This has resulted

in multiple illegal dumpsites which were observed particularly along Ughelli-Warri express road.

There is also No segregation of waste at source and disposal (dumpsites) as also seen in Asaba.

AUGUST 24 2015


Figure 14 refuse dumped in the Middle of the road

Uwvie and Warri

In Uwvie and Warri, the existing refuse collection structure includes PSPs. The PSPs have been

in existence before the SEEFOR project. A total of 25 zones (See Annex 5) were created within

Uvwie while Warri has 30 zones (includes Ubeji-4 Zones; Edjeba-3 Zones) (See Annex 5). The

operation is similar to that seen in Udu.

There is NO government allocated dumpsite. This has led to most PSPs resorting to dumping

refuse at illegal (privately owned) dumpsite at high cost for disposal. As a result large number of

illegal dumpsites was observed particularly along the major express road. However negotiations

to use a private owned dumpsite managed by Donparker is ongoing.

It was also observed that there is little compliance of households and businesses to proper waste

management practices. Most engage in illegal dumping on streets, in swamps and open burning

particularly those in village settings and cluster areas. This has resulted in multiple illegal

dumpsites which were observed particularly along express road and in-between kurbs on streets

There is generally No segregation of waste at source and disposal (dumpsites).

AUGUST 24 2015


Figure 21Illegal dumpsite and Blocked drainage Figure 22Refuse dump at the Centre of the Market

Sapele

In Sapele, the existing refuse collection structure also includes PSPs as seen in the other

metropolis. The structure and operation here, is similar to those seen in Ughelli and Udu. A total

of 19 zones (See Annex 5) which includes the dumpsite were created by the PSPs within the

town and are currently working according to their delegated zones. They (PSPs) source

customers within their individual zones and also follow up with collection of payment. PSPs use

small trucks (e.g. Daina) for collection and disposal. They have an average staff of 5. The PSPs

provide waste management workers with PPEs but do not completely enforce the use. There is

also little HSE training provided.

The Government approved dumpsite was closed and reclaimed due to development. There is a

temporary government allocated dumpsite in place along New Ogorode Road. This dumpsite is

managed by Sapelle LGA authority. There is also an area acquired to be used for the project.

This area is about 4Acres swamp that the owner asked the government to help fill.

There is No segregation of waste at source and disposal (dumpsites). Even medical wastes are

also muddled up with household and industrial wastes.

There is poor compliance of households and businesses to waste collection operation. This is

attributed to the fact that there are a lot of bush and swamp behind and around buildings the less

developed areas where the residence can simply dump their refuse at no financial cost. Others

patronise cart pushers to dispose their waste at a high cost in the long run.

A lot of illegal dumpsites were observed along reclamation road, mission road, and general

hospital and even on streets.

2.7 Health Assessment

Visits were made to some of the healthcare facilities within the project area and interviews were

also conducted during the scoping exercise.

Field observation showed that there are a good number of available healthcare centers within the

project areas. Available secondary data showed that there are over 800 Primary Health Care

facilities in the state. 102 Secondary Health Care facilities, 2 Tertiary facilities and numerous

private health facilities are also located within the state. Udu have a total of 29 HCF, Ughelli

North and south have 56 and 33 HCF respectively. Uvwie has 69, Warri North has 12, Warri

South have 101, and Warri South-West have 18 HCF. Asaba have over 200 HCF. (Directory of

Health Facilities in Nigeria, FMH, 2011)

Preventable infections were identified from secondary data as the major causes of morbidity and

mortality especially in children <5 years of age. These diseases/conditions in the area include

malaria, diarrheal diseases, respiratory tract infections and sepsis. Major causes of death were

complicated malaria (24.4%), sepsis (19.9%), diarrheal diseases (18.1%) and RTIs (7.7%).

(Ezeonwu BU et al 2014).

CHAPTER THREE PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Introduction

The project is designed around two main components - public financial management (PFM and

service delivery - under which selected activities will be implemented to produce outputs that will

contribute towards the achievement of the PDO. The latter will have three sub-components: a)

training and skills development; (b) youth employment and (c) Community Driven Development

(CDD).

3.2 Fundamentals of Sound Waste Management

Waste management involves the proper organization and systematic channeling of wastes to

proper treatments and disposal methods. This safeguards the environment, making it a habitable

place for all (Kofoworola, 2007). Effective waste management strategies cannot be implemented

if there are no laid down plans implemented in any area.

To achieve a reasonable and well-functioning SWM system, the principles of sustainable

development, integrated solid waste management and the waste management hierarchy must be

included and practice at all the possible levels (e.g. national, state and local government levels)

(World bank 2001; European commission 2003).

Waste generated within a facility or residence should always follow an appropriate and well-

identified stream from their point of generation until their final disposal. This stream is

composed of several steps that include: generation, segregation collection and on-site

transportation, on-site storage, off- site transportation (optional), treatment and disposal of the

waste. The waste management strategies selected should therefore be in accordance with the

principles for best practice, improving public health, improving ecosystems and encouraging

sustainability.

This section provides basic information on these different steps, which are summarized in the

table below, and presents the minimal procedures that should be respected in each of these

steps.

3.2.1 Guideline for classification of waste

Though there is no hard and fast rule towards the classification of waste because of the

possibility of change with time, these general guidelines are employed in the classification;

Is the waste special? Special waste’ is a class of waste that has unique regulatory

requirements. The potential environmental impacts of special waste need to be managed

to minimise the risk of harm to the environment and human health.

Is the waste liquid? Liquid waste means any waste that:

has an angle of repose of less than 5 degrees above horizontal, or

becomes free-flowing at or below 60 degrees Celsius or when it is transported, or

is generally not capable of being picked up by a spade or shovel

Is the waste pre-classified? If the waste is neither special nor liquid waste, establish

whether the waste has already been classified by the FMEnv. Some commonly generated

wastes have been pre-classified as hazardous waste, general solid waste (putrescible) or

general solid waste (non-putrescible). Wastes that have been classified by the FMEnv

cannot be reclassified by any other party

Does the waste possess hazardous characteristics? Waste must be classified as

‘hazardous waste’ if it is a dangerous good under any of the following classes or

divisions;

Explosives, Gases (compressed, liquefied or dissolved under pressure),

Flammable solids (excluding garden waste, natural organic fibrous material and

wood waste, and all physical forms of carbon such as activated carbon and

graphite),

Segregation at source

Generation

Collection + onsite transportation

Onsite storage

Onsite treatment/ disposal

Off-site transport

Off-site treatment/ disposal

AUGUST 24 2015


Substances liable to spontaneous combustion (excluding garden waste, natural

organic fibrous material and wood waste, and all physical forms of carbon such

as activated carbon and graphite)

Substances which when in contact with water emit flammable gases Oxidising

agents and organic peroxides Toxic substances Corrosive substances.

Determining a waste’s classification using chemical assessment. Waste generators

should chemically assess their waste to determine its classification where:

the waste is not special waste, liquid waste, a waste pre-classified by the FMEnv

or a waste possessing hazardous characteristics, and

the composition of the waste is not known.

Is the waste putrescible? Where chemical assessment of a waste results in classification

of the waste as general solid waste, further assessment may be undertaken to determine

whether the waste can be classified as ‘general solid waste (putrescible)’ or ‘general solid

waste (non-putrescible)’.

Special waste

Special waste’ is a class of waste that has unique regulatory requirements. The potential

environmental impacts of special waste need to be managed to minimise the risk of harm to the

environment and human health.

Special waste means any of the following:

clinical and related waste

asbestos waste

Waste tyres.

Generators of special waste (except asbestos mixed with other waste – see below) do not need to

make any further assessment of their waste if it falls within the definitions of special wastes

below.

Note: Where asbestos is mixed with other waste to form asbestos waste, the generator must continue to assess the

waste in accordance with the remainder of the steps in this guide. Asbestos waste can only be disposed of at a waste

facility that can lawfully receive asbestos and the other class of waste with which it is mixed (if any).

Liquid waste

Liquid waste means any waste that:

has an angle of repose of less than 5 degrees above horizontal, or

becomes free-flowing at or below 60 degrees Celsius or when it is transported, or

is generally not capable of being picked up by a spade or shovel.

If the waste meets the criteria outlined above, there is no need for any further assessment. If the

waste does not satisfy any of these criteria, move to Step 3 to classify the waste. The waste

generator may choose to separate the waste into the liquid and solid fractions so that only the

solid fraction needs to be further classified in accordance with the following steps.

Hazardous waste

AUGUST 24 2015


The following wastes have been pre-classified by the FMEnv as ‘hazardous waste’:

the tarry residue from the heating, processing or burning of coal or coke comprising of

more than 1% (by weight) of coal tar or coal tar pitch waste

lead-acid or nickel-cadmium batteries (being waste generated or separately collected by

activities carried out for business, commercial or community services purposes) lead

paint waste arising otherwise than from residential premises or educational or child care

institutions

Any mixture of the wastes referred to above.

Restricted solid waste

Currently, no wastes have been pre-classified by the FMEnv as ‘restricted solid waste’.

Restricted solid waste therefore only includes wastes assessed and classified as such in

accordance with the procedures in Step 5 of this guide.

General solid waste (putrescible)

The following wastes have been pre-classified by the FMEnv as ‘general solid waste

(putrescible)’:

household waste that contains putrescible organics

waste from litter bins collected by or on behalf of local councils

manure and night soil

disposable nappies, incontinence pads or sanitary napkins

food waste

3.2.2 Waste Generation

Our everyday activities generate waste that should always be discarded by the person who used

the item to be disposed of. This we cannot avoid, therefore it is advice that the quantity of waste

generated should always be minimized.

Waste minimization and recycling

Before producing waste, it should be investigated whether the amount of waste generated could

be minimized in order to reduce efforts in subsequent handling, treatment and disposal

operations. The reuse of equipment has almost disappeared due to the marketing of single use

items and the need to prevent the spread of nosocomial diseases. This is particularly the case for

medical items such as syringe needles.

There are however other opportunities for recycling or reuse, in particular of objects / items

which are not directly used for health-care (paper, cardboard, glass, metal containers, plastic

wrapping). One of the most efficient measures for waste reduction lies in the careful

AUGUST 24 2015


management of household and industrial material purchases and medical stocks in the hospital

pharmacies.

Recycling of potentially contaminated items such as the plastic and metal from syringes/needles

is not recommended for the moment in most Sub-Saharan countries due to the absence of

availability of appropriate technologies, lack of specific training / awareness as well as adequate

management procedures. However household or non-contaminated items may be recycled.

3.2.3 Waste segregation

Segregation is one of the most important steps to successfully waste management. Treatment

and disposal costs could be greatly reduced if a proper segregation were performed. Segregating

hazardous from non- hazardous waste reduces also greatly the risks of infecting workers

handling HCW. Also segregating biodegradable from non-bio degradable materials give room for

recovery of materials for recycling. This serves as a form of income generation.

The segregation consists in separating the different waste streams based on the hazardous

properties of the waste, the type of treatment and disposal practices that are applied. A

recommended way of identifying waste categories is by sorting the waste into colour-coded and

well-labelled bags or containers.

Segregation should:

Always take place at the source;

Be simple to implement

Be safe and guaranty the absence of infectious HCW in the domestic waste flow;

Be well understood and well known by the medical and ancillary staff of HCFs;

Be regularly monitored to ensure that the procedures are respected.

Colour coding system

The application of a colour coding system aims at ensuring an immediate and non- equivocal

identification of the hazards associated with the type of waste that is handled or treated. In that

respect, the colour coding system should remain simple and be applied uniformly throughout the

country.

Labelling

AUGUST 24 2015


Here, the container is sealed and labelled indicating the type of material it contains. The sign

“Danger” or “Caution” should be included on the label for dangerous materials. This is

especially so for infectious, radioactive materials and their likes. This helps to identify content

and possibly know the procedures to take in the case of spills or contamination.

3.2.3 Collection and on-site transportation

In order to avoid accumulation of the waste, it must be collected on a regular basis and

transported to a central storage area within the compound/residence/facility before being

treated or removed. The collection must follow specific routes through the source to reduce the

passage of loaded wheelbarrow through other clean areas.

The wheelbarrow/trucks should be

easy to load and unload,

have no sharp edges that could damage waste bags or containers and

easy to clean.

Waste handling

Great care should be taken when handling waste in general. The most important risks are linked

with the injuries that sharps can produce. When handling waste, one should always wear

protective clothing including, as minimum, overalls or industrial aprons, boots and heavy duty

gloves.

3.2.5 On-site storage

Waste generated at source are temporarily stored before being treated / disposed of on-site or

transported off-site. A maximum storage time should not exceed 24 hours. (Non-risk HCW should

always be stored in a separate location from the infectious / hazardous HCW in order to avoid cross-

contamination).

A storage facility, sized according to the volume of waste generated as well as the frequency of

collection, must be found inside all HCFs. Storage facility should not be situated near to food

stores or food preparation areas and its access should always be limited. It should also be easy to

clean, have good lighting and ventilation, and designed to prevent rodents, insects or birds from

entering. Bins with tight lid is advised for use especially in households/residences.

AUGUST 24 2015


3.2.6 Off-site transportation

The waste producer is then responsible for the proper packaging and labelling of the

containers that are transported. One of the reasons for colour coding or labelling waste bags or

containers is that in case of an accident, the content can be quickly identified and appropriate

measures taken. The labelling system should comply with the WHO/UN Recommendations and

contain at least:

The United Nations substance class (e.g. class 6, division 6.2, UN n° 3291 for infectious

waste);

The proper shipping name and the total quantity of waste covered by the description (by

mass or volume);

The date of collection.

The transportation should always be properly documented and all vehicles should carry a

consignment note from the point of collection to the treatment facility. (Furthermore, the vehicles

used for the collection of hazardous / infectious HCW should not be used for any other purpose). They shall be

free of sharp edges, easy to load and unload by hand, easy to clean / disinfect, and fully enclosed

to prevent any spillage in the hospital premises or on the road during transportation.

3.2.7 Treatment and disposal

Each class of HCW require specific treatment, however, in order to be pragmatic, it is advisable

to distinguish three major classes polarizing around 90 % of the biomedical waste production.

These major categories could be:

Waste sharps;

Infectious and cytotoxic wastes;

Organic wastes (blood and body fluid wastes, human anatomical waste)

Household/solid waste may be categorised into two; degradable and non-degradable

Hazardous / infectious HCW can be treated to reach a level of hazard / infectiousness that is

considered as acceptable. Thus, after treatment, they follow the non-risk waste stream and are

disposed of with the general solid waste. They can also be directly disposed of by incineration or

in sanitary landfills.

AUGUST 24 2015


Hazardous / infectious HCW can be treated on-site (i.e. in the HCF itself) or off-site (i.e. in any other HCF or

in a dedicated treatment plant).

3.3 Delta State SEEFOR Sanitation Project

The project has three components: Component A will support three main activities: (1)

Carrying out of small public works and institutional strengthening to generate youth employment

in urban areas; (2) Carrying out technical, vocational and agricultural training by providing grants

to TVT and agricultural training institutions and (b) State ministries responsible for education

and agriculture; and (3) Carrying out of eligible Community Development subprojects by

providing grants to (a) FCAs and (b) CSDAs. Component B will support reforms by the

participating states of their public finance management systems, processes and institutions.

Component C is Project Implementation Support and Coordination, including providing

logistical and technical support to NSPCU and SPCUs, and support the federal ministry

responsible for Niger Delta Affairs.

The SEEFOR Project is designed to re-orientate the youths and entrepreneurs and allow them

to meaningfully and productively live their lives while contributing to society. Sustainable

livelihoods hinge on job creation and high-value products that yield income for poor and

vulnerable groups.

The Refuse Collection and Disposal Project is tailored towards maintaining good hygiene while

promoting accountability and transparency in the utilization of public finances which in turn

translates into employment opportunities for the youths.

The refuse collection and disposal project will comprise two main phases;

1. Enumeration

2. Collection and Disposal

3.3.1 PROPOSED ENUMERATION PLAN

In the course of implementing this project, there will be a proper enumeration exercise where

houses and offices will be counted and divided into zones. Each town has been divided into

different zones to ease the collection and disposal of these wastes. These zones are made up of

streets, main roads and suburbs. The PSPs will be assigned different zones where they will

operate in. at the end of the enumeration, there may also be the creation of new zones as

AUGUST 24 2015


necessity may warrant facilitating the functions of the PSPs. Below are schematic maps of the

pilot cities showing the delineation of some of the existing zones identified and dumpsites (illegal

and approved).

3.3.2 PROPOSED COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL PLAN

The wastes (household, industrial, biomedical, etc.) generated from houses, industries and health

facilities will be collected by designated Private Sector Partners (PSP) within each zone for

efficiency and effectiveness and to avoid work area encroachment. These PSPs will be made up

of workers who are properly trained and supervised in handling these different domestic and

hazardous wastes. They will put health, safety and environment expertise into work practices.

The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) will be strictly adhered to. These wastes will

be bagged and/or put in waste bins placed in front of the waste generation point, within the

waste generation point or at a designated spot close to the waste generation point.

The waste bins from the collection point will be collected using compactor trucks or tipping

trucks covered with trampoline or netting to avoid spill while on transit. The collected waste will

be transported through the major highway and then disposed at a designated and approved

dumpsite. Only registered PSPs will be allowed to dispose waste in these dumpsites.

The households, offices, hospitals and industries will make payment at designated banks from

the SEEFOR office will remit payment for services to the PSPs.

AUGUST 24 2015


CHAPTER FOUR POLICY LEGAL AND REGULATORY

FRAMEWORK

4.1 Introduction

A number of national and international environmental guidelines are applicable to the operation

of the SEEFOR. In Nigeria, the power to enforce all activities that might have impacts on the

environment is vested in the Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv). Internationally,

agencies such as the World Bank, IFC and other financial organizations usually set

environmental criteria for projects, which must be met by project proponents before the

agencies invest in them.

4.2 Some Relevant Regulatory Instruments

Outline of the relevant regulatory instrument framework and administration to this project is given as

they relate to the Federal, State and International arenas.

4.3 Federal Policy/Legislation

National Policy on Environment

The National Policy on Environment, 1989 (revised 1999), provides for “a viable national

mechanism for cooperation, coordination and regular consultation, as well as harmonious

management of the policy formulation and implementation process which requires the

establishment of effective institutions and linkages within and among the various tiers of

government – federal, state and local government”. Prior to the launching of this policy, there

was no unified coordination of activities of the 3 tiers of government responsible for the

environment.

The thrust of the policy is the achievement of sustainable development in Nigeria. Guidelines

and strategies are therefore defined for:

Securing for all Nigerians a quality of environment adequate for their health and well-

being;

Conserving and using the natural resources for the benefit of present and future

generations;

Restoring, maintaining and enhancing the ecosystem and ecological processes essential

for the preservation of biological diversity;

Raising public awareness and promoting understanding of the essential linkages between

the environment, resources and development; and

Cooperation with other countries, international organizations and agencies to achieve

optimal use of trans-boundary in order to prevent environmental recourses.

Further, the defined guidelines and strategies provide for the effective management of the

environment in the following 14 major areas: Human population; Land use and soil

conservation; Water resources management; Forestry, wildlife and protected areas; Marine and

AUGUST 24 2015


coastal area resources; Toxic and hazardous substances; Energy production and use; Air

pollution; Noise pollution; Working environment (occupational health and safety); and

Settlements, recreational space, greenbelts monuments and cultural property.

The Federal Ministry of Environment

The act establishing the Ministry places on it the responsibility of ensuring that all development

and industry activity, operations and emissions are within the limits prescribed in the National

Guidelines and Standards, and comply with relevant regulations for environmental pollution

management in Nigeria as may be released by the Ministry.

Of particular note amongst these instruments in ensuring that environmental and social issues

are mainstreamed into development projects is the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Act No.

86 of 1992. With this Act, the FMENV prohibits public and private sectors from embarking on

major prospects or activities without due consideration, at early stages, of environmental and

social impacts. The act makes an EIA mandatory for any development project, and prescribes

the procedures for conducting and reporting EIA studies.

As part of the effective utilization of the EIA tool, the Ministry has produced Sectoral guidelines

detailing the necessary requirements of the EIA process from each Sector. One of these Sectoral

Guidelines that apply to the proposed project is the ‘Sectoral Guidelines on Infrastructure

Development.’

Procedurally, in Nigeria, it is worthy to note that before commencement of an EIA, the FMENV

issues a letter of intent on notification by the proponent, approve the terms of reference, ensure

public participation, review and mediate. However, the categorization of the project into I, II

and III determines the level of this latter part.

The possible technical activities expected for a proposed project include screening, full or partial

EIA Study, Review, Decision-making, Monitoring Auditing and Decommissioning/Remediation

post-closure.

National Legal Instrument on the Environment

Environmental Impact Assessment Act No. 86, 1992 (FMEnv)

This Act provides the guidelines for activities of development projects for which EIA is

mandatory in Nigeria. The Act also stipulates the minimum content of an EIA and is intended to

inform and assist proponents in conducting EIA studies as well as a schedule of projects, which

require mandatory EIAs.

According to these guidelines:

Category I projects will require a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

AUGUST 24 2015


Category II projects may require only a partial EIA, which will focus on mitigation

and Environmental planning measures, unless the project is located near an

environmentally sensitive area--in which case a full EIA is required.

Category III projects are considered to have “essentially beneficial impacts” on the

environment, for which the Federal Ministry of the Environment will prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement.

Other National Legal Instruments on Environment

The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency Act 2007

(NESREA Act)

After the retracting of the Federal Environmental Protection Act of 1988, the NESREA Act,

2007 became the major statutory regulation or instrument guiding environmental matters in

Nigeria. The NESREA Act consolidates all previously fragmented legal requirements pertaining

to solid waste management. It specially makes provision for solid waste management and its

administration and prescribes sanction for offences or acts which run contrary to proper and

adequate waste disposal procedures and practices.

National Policy on Environmental Sanitation (2005)

The primary goal of the National Environmental Sanitation Policy is to ensure a clean and

healthy environment by adopting efficient, sustainable and cost-effective strategies, so as to

safeguard public health in line with the national objectives. The National Environmental

Sanitation Policy (2005) seeks to maintain sound public health through environmental sanitation.

In addressing environmental and public health issues, prominent targets of the policy include:

solid waste management, food sanitation, sewage management, pest and vector control and

environmental education programmes.

National Environmental (Sanitation and Wastes Control) Regulations, 2009

This regulation that was promulgated in 2009 among other things makes adequate provisions for

waste control and environmental sanitation including punishments in cases of malfeasances.

The Harmful Waste Act

The Decree prohibits the Carrying, depositing and dumping of harmful waste on any land,

territorial Waters, contagious zone, Exclusive Economic Zone of Nigeria or its inland Water

ways and prescribes severe penalties for any person found guilty of any Crime relating thereto.

The following sections are notable:

Section 6 provides for a punishment of life imprisonment for offenders as well as the

forfeiture of land or anything used to commit the offence.

Section 7 makes provision for the punishment accordingly, of any conniving, consenting

or negligent officer where a company commits the offence.

AUGUST 24 2015


Section 12 defines the civil liability of any offender. He would be liable to persons who

have suffered injury as a result of his offending act.

National Environmental Protection (Pollution abatement in Industries and Facilities

generating Waste) Regulations, 1991

Restrictions are imposed hereunder on the release of toxic substances and requirement of

Stipulated Monitoring of pollution to ensure permissible limits are not exceeded; Unusual and

accidental discharges; Contingency plans; Generator's liabilities; Strategies of waste reduction and

safety for workers.

National Environmental Protection (Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes)

Regulation

These regulate the collection, treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous waste for municipal

and industrial sources and give the comprehensive list of chemicals and chemical waste by

toxicity categories.

The National Guidelines and Standards for Environmental Pollution Control In Nigeria

This was launched on March 12th 1991 and represents the basic instrument for monitoring and

controlling industrial and urban pollution.

Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Amendment) Act No 59 of 1992

The National Guidelines and Standards for Environmental Pollution Control in Nigeria

Public Health Law 2006

The National Effluents Limitations. Regulation 1991

The National Environmental Policy (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities

Generating Waste) Regulations 1991

The Management of Solid and Hazardous Wastes. Regulations 1991

National Guidelines on Environmental Management Systems (1999)

National Guidelines for Environmental Audit

National Policy on Flood and Erosion Control 2006 (FMEnv)

National Air Quality Standard Decree No. 59 of 1991

The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999

4.4 Other Acts and Legislation

Land Use Act of 1978

The Land Use Act of 1978 states that ’… It is also in the public interest that the rights of all

Nigerians to use and enjoy land in Nigeria and the Natural fruits thereof in sufficient quality to

AUGUST 24 2015


enable them to provide for the sustenance of themselves and their families should be assured,

protected and preserved’. This implies that acts that could result in the pollution of the land, air,

and waters of Nigeria negates this decree, and is therefore unacceptable.

Furthermore, the Land Use Act of 1978 (modified in 1990) remains the primary legal means to

acquire land in the country. The Act vests all land comprised in the territory of each state in the

Federation in the Governor of the state and requires that such land shall be held in trust and

administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians in accordance with the provisions

of this Act.

According to the Act, administration of land area is divided into urban land which will be directly

under the control and management of the Governor of each State; and non-urban land, which

will be under the control and management of the Local Government. State Governors are given

the right to grant statutory rights of occupancy to any person or any purpose; and the Local

Government will have the right to grant customary rights of occupancy to any person or

organization for agricultural, residential and other purposes.

Forestry Act

This Act of 1958 provides for the preservation of forests and the setting up of forest reserves. It

is an offence, punishable with up to 6 months imprisonment, to cut down trees over 2ft in girth

or to set fire to the forest except under special circumstances.

Nigeria is at present a wood deficit nation. In order to ameliorate the situation, the policy on

forest resources management and sustainable use is aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in all

aspects of forest production through the use of sound forest management techniques as well as

the mobilization of human and material resources. The overall objectives of forest policy are to

prevent further deforestation and to recreate forest cover, either for productive or for protective

purposes, on already deforested fragile land.

Specifically, the National Agricultural Policy of 1988 in which the Forestry Policy is subsumed,

provides for:

Consolidation and expansion of the forest estate in Nigeria and its management for

sustained yield.

Regeneration of the forests at rates higher than exploitation.

Conservation and protection of the environment viz: forest, soil, water, flora, fauna and

the protection of the forest resources from fires, cattle grazers and illegal encroachment.

Development of Forestry industry through the harvesting and utilisation of timber, its

derivatives and the reduction of wastes.

Wildlife conservation, management and development through the creation and effective

management of national parks, game reserves, tourist and recreational facilities, etc.

Criminal Code

AUGUST 24 2015


The Nigerian Criminal Code makes it an offence punishable with up to 6 month imprisonment

for any person who:

Violates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the health of persons in

general dwelling or carry on business in the neighbourhood, or passing along a public

way: or

Does any act which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe to be likely to spread

the infection of any disease dangerous to life, whether human or animal?

State Legislations

Largely, the federal legislation serves as the benchmark in the execution of standards in the

states. Some laws in the States include:

Environmental Sanitation Edicts, Laws and Enforcement Agencies: They cover general

environmental health and sanitation. Enforcement of necessary laws.

State waste management laws: Ensure proper disposal of waste and clearing of wastes.

Building Line Laws: To ensure proper buiding plans within stipulated areas.

Prohibition of Indiscriminate Dumping of Refuse Edicts: To prevent indiscriminate dumping.

Environmental Pollution Control and Compensation Laws and Edicts: Control pollution

and ensure compensation as necessary.

State Waste Disposal Edicts: To ensure proper disposal of wastes.

Some of these laws include

1. State Waste Disposal Laws

o State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) Law

o Waste Management Authority Law

o State Environmental Sanitation Authority Law

2. State Rural Water & Sanitation Agency Law

3. State Waste Management Law

4. State Environmental & Waste Management Law

5. State Environmental Sanitation & Protection Agency Law

6. Bureau for Sanitation & Transport Law

7. Refuse Management & Sanitation (REMASA) Law

8. State Environmental Protection Law

9. State Sanitation & Water Management Law

Some Specific Delta State laws

AUGUST 24 2015


Delta State Law No. 7 of 2007 (Ecology Law, 2006).

Delta State Waste Management Board Law No 4, 2004

Delta State Environmental Protection Agency (DELSEPA), Edict No. 5 of 1997

4.5 The World Bank Environmental and Social Safeguards

The World Bank has a number of operational and safeguards policies, which aim to prevent and

mitigate undue harm to people and their environment in any development initiative involving the

Bank. The Nigerian EIA Act and the World Bank safeguard policies are similar; designed to help

ensure that projects proposed for Bank financing are environmentally and socially sustainable,

and thus improve decision-making. The Bank has eleven safeguards policies and these are:

Environmental:

OP 4.00 Use of Country Systems

OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment;

OP 4.04 Natural Habitats;

OP 4.36 Forests;

OP 4.09 Pest Management;

OP 4.11 Physical Cultural Resources

OP 4.37 Safety of Dams;

Social:

OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement;

Environmental Assessment (EA) (OP/BP 4.01)

Environmental Assessment is used in the World Bank to identify, avoid, and mitigate the

potential negative environmental and social impacts associated with Bank’s lending operations

early on in the project cycle. In World Bank operations, the purpose of Environmental

Assessment is to improve decision making, to ensure that project options under consideration

are sound and sustainable, and that potentially affected people have been properly consulted and

their concerns addressed. This policy is triggered if a project is likely to have potential adverse

environmental and social risks and impacts in its area of influence. The EA has various tools that

can be used, including amongst others Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) or

Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), which is the case with this sub-project.

Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04)

Any project or sub-project with the potential to cause significant conversion (loss) or

degradation of natural habitats, whether directly (through construction) or indirectly (through

human activities induced by the project). This policy is triggered because some project activities

may take place close to critical natural habitats (forests, wetlands, mangroves, etc.) or

AUGUST 24 2015


environmentally sensitive areas and some mitigation measures may be necessary to minimize any

adverse environmental and social impacts. The project is not being implemented in any area with

critical natural habitats, nor does it involve the significant conversion or degradation of natural

habitats.

Forests (OP 4.36)

This operational policy aims to reduce deforestation, enhance the environmental contribution of

forested areas, promote afforestation, reduce poverty, and encourage economic development.

The policy recognizes the role forests play in poverty alleviation, economic development, and for

providing local as well as global environmental services. Success in establishing sustainable forest

conservation and management practices depends not only on changing the behavior of all critical

stakeholders, but also on a wide range of partnerships to accomplish what no country,

government agency, donor, or interest group can do alone.

This policy applies to the following types of Bank financed investment projects:

a. Projects that have or may have impacts on the health and quality of forests;

b. Projects that affect the rights and welfare of people and their level of dependence

upon or interaction with forests;

c. Projects that aim to bring about changes in the management, protection, or utilization

of natural forests or plantations, whether they are publicly, privately, or communally

owned.

Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)

This project may require land acquisition for dumpsites, receptacle locations and temporary

storage areas. This policy is triggered because most of the sub-projects will involve minimal or

moderate land acquisition, physical resettlement or restriction of access to usual means of

livelihood. Impacts in this regard are expected to be limited as the sub-projects will largely be

land acquisition for dumpsite. The main objective of this policy is to assist displaced persons in

their efforts to improve or at least restore their incomes and standards of living after

displacement. The policy prescribes compensation and other resettlement measures to achieve its

objectives and requires that borrowers prepare adequate resettlement planning instruments prior

to Bank appraisal of proposed projects.

Pest Management OP 4.09

This policy is to (i) promote the use of biological or environmental control and reduce reliance

on synthetic chemical pesticides; and (ii) strengthen the capacity of the country’s regulatory

framework and institutions to promote and support safe, effective and environmentally sound

pest management. It is envisaged that the Project activities on one side may affect the habitats of

native fauna (most likely pests such as wild rodents etc.) and on the other, lead to movement of

displaced pests to local farm lands and homes (as farmland is the next abundant mass of land in

AUGUST 24 2015


the project states besides forests) or introduction of new pests into the dumpsite area.. In the

event of this, the policy aims to (a) Ascertain that pest management activities in Bank-financed

operations are based on integrated approaches and seek to reduce reliance on synthetic chemical

pesticides (Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in agricultural projects and Integrated Vector

Management (IVM) in public health projects. (b) Ensure that health and environmental hazards

associated with pest management, especially the use of pesticides are minimized and can be

properly managed by the user. (c) As necessary, support policy reform and institutional capacity

development to (i) enhance implementation of IPM-based pest management and (ii) regulate and

monitor the distribution and use of pesticides.

World Bank performance Standards (OP 4.30/BP 4.30)

The aim of this policy is to facilitate Bank financing1 for private sector led economic

development projects by applying environmental and social policy standards that are better

suited to the private sector, while enhancing greater policy coherence and cooperation across the

World Bank Group.

The eight IFC Performance Standards have been adopted by the Bank as the World Bank

Performance Standards for Projects Supported by the Private Sector (“WB Performance Standards”) for

application to Bank support for projects (or components thereof) that are designed, owned,

constructed and/or operated by a Private Entity, in lieu of the World Bank’s safeguard policies

(“WB Safeguard Policies”). The eight World Bank Performance Standards are:

Performance Standard 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social

Risks and Impacts

Performance Standard 2: Labor and Working Conditions

Performance Standard 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention

Performance Standard 4: Community Health, Safety, and Security

Performance Standard 5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement

Performance Standard 6: Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of

Living Natural Resources

Performance Standard 8: Cultural Heritage

This OP sets forth the circumstances under which the WB Performance Standards may be

applied, the roles and responsibilities of the Private Entity implementing the project, and of the

Bank in supporting environmental and social sustainability aspects of the project.

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is a global treaty to protect human

health and the environment from chemicals that remain intact in the environment for long

periods, become widely distributed geographically, accumulate in the fatty tissue of humans and

wildlife, and have adverse effects to human health and the environment. Given their long-range

transport, no one government acting alone can protect its citizens or its environment from

POPs.

According to the Stockholm Convention chemical listing, the chemicals are grouped into annex

A, B and C. Unintentionally released persistent organic pollutants are listed under Annex C.

“Parties must take measures to reduce the unintentional release of chemicals listed

under Annex C with the goal of continuous minimization and, where feasible, ultimate

elimination”.

CHAPTER FIVE ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION/ENHANCEMENT MEASURES

5.1 Introduction

The proposed project will lead to several impacts on the environmental and socio-economic

status of the project area. A good number of these impacts will be beneficial, especially the

creation of employment for the youth, reduction of hygiene related health issues, and the

establishment of an environmentally sound, safe and sustainable waste management system.

This chapter presents a summary of the identified potential beneficial and adverse impacts

associated with Refuse collection and disposal in Asaba, Sapele, Udu, Ughelli, Uvwie and Warri

under in the SEEFOR project.

5.2 Associated and Potential Environmental Impacts

For the identification and rating of key issues and impacts that are likely to occur during the

phases of this project and the significance of the associated impacts, a “5-Step-Tool” was used.

5.2.1 Rating of Impacts

Five steps were followed sequentially in order to rate the impacts of the various activities of the

project as shown below:

Stage 1 Impacts Identification

Interactions b/w project activities and environmental

and social sensitivities

Stage 2 Qualification of Impacts

Step 1: Identification of Potential Impacts

Expected impacts were determined based on anticipated interactions between project activities

and major environmental and social sensitivities. The environmental and social sensitivities likely

to be affected by project activities include the following:

Steps 2 and 3: Qualification of Impacts

Qualification of impacts was based on two assessment characteristics:

Environmental Components

Air (physical and chemical properties)

Noise - vibrations, sound waves etc.

Surface Water

Ground Water and Hydro-geology

Soil

Topography and Landscape

Climate Change

Terrestrial Habitats

Waste Management

Social Components

Air (odour)

Noise – nuisance

Visual Sensitivity

Economic Activities

Employment

Public Health

Occupational Health and Safety

Education

Land Use

Step 2: Likelihood of occurrence – This is an assessment of the probability of the effect occurring.

Step 3: Potential consequence – This is the actual result and scale that an effect might have. The

application of each of the two characteristics is described below.

Table 4 Likelihood of occurrence of Impact

Impact Probability Likelihood Frequency

High probability (80-100%) A very likely impact Very frequent impacts

Medium high probability (60-80%) A likely impact Frequent impacts

Medium probability (40-60%) A possible impact Occasional impacts

Medium low probability (20-40%) An unlikely impact Few impacts

Low probability (0-20%) A very unlikely impact Rare impacts

The magnitude of the potential changes to the physical and social environment caused by the

impact of an activity or hazard, and the level of sensitivity of the receiving environment

determine the potential impact of the activity. This is shown below:

practices will address low impacts. The positive impacts shall be monitored and enhanced when

expedient.

5.2.2 Associated and Potential Impacts Determination

The results of the evaluation of the interactions between the proposed rehabilitation activities

and their impacts on environmental and social sensitivities are shown in subsequent pages of this

chapter. The identified negative impacts were rated as minor, moderate and major. Beneficial

impacts arising from the project were rated as positive. Hence, no further classifications were

made on the beneficial impacts.

5.3 Potential Positive Impacts of The Refuse collection and Disposal Project

The beneficial environmental and social impacts of the project will include:

Environmental Impacts

Enhancement of the capacity of the PSPs in collection and disposal of refuse- the project

will have significant positive impacts by creating employment for unemployed youths

within the project area.

Eliminate multiple sources of environmental and surface water pollution from poorly/

indiscriminate dumping of refuse.

Provide Delta State government with the technical and financial capacity to collect and

dispose waste in environmentally sound manner.

The project will directly and indirectly encourage investments in the Delta State Waste

Management sector.

Aid in the reduction or elimination of public and environmental health conditions

resulting from poorly managed refuse disposal system.

Encourage acquisition of land for establishing additional dumpsite and/or establishment

of an integrated waste management facility.

Facilitate sanitation in residence, business places, industries and public places such as

motor parks and market places.

Promote the integration of environmental economics and financial management

methodologies [Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)- health,

environmental and socio-economic, Return on Investments (ROI), Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) etc.]

in the administrative and technical functions of PAPs for the Refuse collection and

disposal project.

Reduce ecological problems such as flooding by preventing blocking of drainage by

refuse.

Improve health and safety of the indigenes through awareness and training.

AUGUST 24 2015


Improved livelihood

Social Impacts

The project will improve and increase access to proper refuse disposal services in Asaba,

Sapele, Udu, Ughelli, Uvwie, and Warri

It will provide a platform to establish efficiency in the institutional (administrative and

technical) performance of the Waste Management Board towards proper Refuse

collection and disposal and other related services sanitation services in project areas.

It will ensure sustainability of waste management provision in the long term, meeting the

needs of the present population of approximately 1.3 million and the projected

population of 4 million by 2040.

The proposed Refuse collection and disposal project will promote human health and

ensure the right to safe sanitary conditions for the populace of Asaba, Sapele, Udu,

Ughelli, Uvwie, and Warri.

It will serve as a positive benchmark for future developments within the state.

Improvement of public goodwill and satisfaction towards governance in Delta State.

Reduce the time, expenditure and stress of refuse disposal through cart-pushers or along

expressway.

Reduce health risks, man-hour losses and financial burden associated with waste related

infections, diseases, and metabolic disorders.

Relieve youths from engaging in social vices resulting from being idle.

Exert positive impacts on education by improving school attendance, classroom

performance and concentration especially of youth who would otherwise have been

engaged in refuse disposal for their households by waking up very early to dispose them

at illegal sites or walking long distances to expressways.

Reduce risks (harassment, child molestation, rape, accidents etc.) associated with the

disposing of waste in the early hours of the morning or late at night.

Enhance personal and environmental hygiene and promote self-confidence.

Reduce favourable conditions for waste related disease vectors and diseases (malaria,

giardiasis, salmonellosis, E. coli intoxication)

Provide low-income earners with adequate refuse disposal system which will prevent

them from resorting to indiscriminate disposal.

Directly and indirectly contribute to reducing mortality rates thereby increasing life

expectancy.

Increase opportunities for job creation and employment.

AUGUST 24 2015


Encourage behavioural changes in hygiene and sanitation amongst the peoples of Asaba,

Sapele, Udu, Ughelli, Uvwie, and Warri.

Encourage training and capacity building for the waste management sector of Delta state

at large and also increase public awareness on waste management and sanitation.

Create the potential for private sector involvement and participation especially in the

areas of Private Sector Partnerships (PSPs) in Refuse collection and management of

payment for refuse disposal services provided to consumers.

Scavengers will have better opportunity of collection of materials from the dumpsite due

to increased quantity and consolidated refuse dumpsite.

5.4 Potential Negative Impacts of the Refuse collection and Disposal Project

Environmental Impacts

Possible air pollution as PSPs are collecting and transporting waste through streets and

neighbourhoods

Possible introduction of new pests and scavenger birds at new dumpsites leading to

possible introduction of new diseases within the area.

Social Impacts

Some existing PSPs may be displaced for not being able to meet up with the

requirements for the project due to finance.

Possible displacement of cart-pushers from source of livelihood

Private dumpsite owners may also lose their source of livelihood

Their maybe possible increase in Traffic congestion as the trucks will be navigating the

roads at the same time when other road users will be on the road.

Possible accidental destruction of properties as trucks navigate through tight streets

Possible road accidents involving pedestrians while trucks are at work.

Possible land acquisition as government may acquire land for new dumpsite

5.5 Environmental and Social Management Plan

5.6.1 Overview

The range of environmental, social and occupational health and safety issues associated with the

Refuse Collection and Disposal Project is described in a matrix table format for the Environmental

and Social Management Plan (ESMP). This will outline the corresponding management strategies

that will be employed in mitigating the adverse environmental and social impacts; and

occupational health and safety issues

The table also includes a column for Monitoring Indicators and Monitoring Frequencies.

Measures have been developed to ensure that identified negative impacts of the project are

effectively mitigated and controlled.

The ESMP table is divided into two phases:

Refuse Collection and Transportation phase

Refuse Disposal Phase

5.6.2 ESMP and Monitoring Plan Budget

The total cost for Implementing the ESMP and Monitoring Plan based on the two assessed

phases is estimated at One hundred and Twenty Four Thousand US dollars ($124,000.00)

for the Six (6) sites.

5.5 Health and Safety Management Plan

The health and safety issues arising from various activities have also been addressed in the

ESMP. Provision of standard health and safety equipment are pre-requisite for implementation

of health and safety management plan. The following personal safety equipment (PPE) are

recommended ensure health and safety of workers. These will be used as per requirement.

Standard PPE generally includes:

1. Gloves: Always wear gloves when handling health care waste. Puncture-resistant gloves

should be used when handling sharps containers or bags with unknown contents. Heat-resistant

gloves should be worn when operating an incinerator

2. Boots: Safety boots or leather shoes provide extra protection to the feet from injury by sharps

or heavy items that may accidentally fall. Boots must be kept clean.

3. Overalls: Overalls should be worn at all times.

4. Goggles: Clear, heat-resistant goggles can protect the eyes from accidental splashes or other

injury.

5. Mouth respirators

6. Helmet (for incinerator operators): Helmets protect the head from injury and should be

worn at all times during the incineration process.

Others include;

Ear plugs/ muffs

Full body harnesses

First aid kits

Safety signs and tape

Medical examinations

Waste handlers and should be medically examined prior to initial employment and undergo

regular medical examinations every 6 months. They should also be immunized for Tetanus and

Hepatitis B Virus.

5.6 General procedures to be followed in case of spillages

This section describes the general procedure to be followed by workers, client and relevant

stakeholders in the case of spillage. However, this applies mainly for hazardous/dangerous

wastes.

It is recommended that all precautions to prevent spillage should be adhered to strictly. This

includes;

i. Covering of waste bins,


ii. Lightening of waste bags,

iii. Covering of tipping trucks with netting or trampoline

iv. Use of compactor trucks and

v. Avoiding overfilling of trucks.

Also the workers should wear the recommended/provided PPEs for the job as this will go a

long way in preventing spillage and contamination.

Evacuate the contaminated area.

Decontaminate the eyes and skin of exposed personnel immediately.

Inform the designated person who should coordinate the necessary actions.

Determine the nature of the spill.

Evacuate all the people not involved in cleaning up.

Provide first aid and medical care to injured individuals.

Secure the area to prevent exposure of additional individuals.

Provide adequate protective clothing to personnel involved in cleaning-up.

Limit the spread of the spill.

Neutralize or disinfect the spilled or contaminated material if indicated.

Collect all spilled and contaminated material. [Sharps should never be picked up by

hand; brushes and pans or other suitable tools should be used]. Spilled material and

disposable contaminated items used for cleaning should be placed in the appropriate

waste bags or containers.

Decontaminate or disinfect the area, wiping up with absorbent cloth. The cloth (or

other absorbent material) should never be turned during this process, because this will

spread the contamination. The decontamination should be carried out by working from

the least to the most contaminated part, with a change of cloth at each stage. Dry cloths

should be used in the case of liquid spillage; for spillages of solids, cloth impregnated

with water (acidic, basic, or neutral as appropriate) should be used.

Rinse the area, and wipe dry with absorbent cloths.

Decontaminate or disinfect any tools that were used.

Remove protective clothing and decontaminate or disinfect it if necessary.

Seek medical attention if exposure to hazardous material has occurred during the

operation.

5.7 Post Exposure Prophylaxis Guidelines for Occupational Exposure

An occupational exposure that may place a worker at risk of tetanus, HIV, Hepatitis B or

Hepatitis C infection will require Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). PEP is short-term

antiretroviral (ARV) or immune globulin treatment to reduce the likelihood of viral infection

after exposure to the blood or body fluids of an infected person.

Modes of Exposure:

Types of injury requiring PEP include;

I. Percutaneous injury

Needle stick


Injuries from scalpels, wires, surgical pins, saws, etc.

II. Mucous membrane exposure—splashes and other contact with mucous membranes

(includes eyes, nose, mouth)

III. Non-intact skin exposure

IV. Direct contact (without barrier protection) to a concentrated virus in a research

laboratory or production facility

V. Human bites resulting in blood exposure to either person involved

Factors affecting transmission

1) Whether PPE was worn

2) Amount of blood in the exposure

3) Amount of virus in patient's blood from who the injury material was from

4) Whether P.E.P. taken or not

The following steps are to be taken in the case of such exposures during work

3. Begin PEP starter pack

4. Evaluation of the source

5. Evaluation of the exposed person

A. Treatment on injury (First Aid):

1) Skin Exposure, wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water.

2) Skin Wound, immediately wash thoroughly the wound with soap and water and pat dry.

3) Splash to Eye(s), Nose or Mouth, immediately flush the area with running water for at

least 5-10 minutes.

B. Exposure/Injury Reporting

In the event of an acute injury or exposure, the injured worker should report to the

supervisor.

C. Post Exposure Prophylaxis

Tetanus toxoid: Administer tetanus toxoid to exposed worker.

HIV: If the source person is not known, consider the infection risk high. If the source person

refuses a test, it should be assumed that the source is positive. PEP should be initiated as soon as

possible, preferably within 2 hours of exposure, and not after 72 hours.

HBV: In case of exposure to HBV, prophylaxis is indicated for susceptible health workers.

Those who have a negative HBV surface antigens and no history of receiving immune serum

globulin

HCV: There is no vaccine or PEP for hepatitis C. Prevention of exposure is the only effective

strategy against HCV infection Following exposure to blood or other body fluids, the source

person should be tested for HCV (with consent)


D. Evaluation of Source and Exposed person

Evaluation of the source person is performed when the exposed health worker agrees to take

PEP. The following factors should be considered:

If the source is known: If HIV, HBV, and HCV status of source person is unknown, these tests

should be performed after obtaining consent. The exposed health worker should not be involved

in obtaining consent for testing from the source

If the source is unknown: The exposure should be treated as high risk for infection. Needles and

syringes do not need to be tested for viral contamination

WORKER’S RESPONSIBILITIES

First Aid: Perform recommended first aid and decontamination according to the posted

instructions. Decontaminate any exposed skin surfaces.

Report to the supervisor on the type of injury.

Identify the equipment/material involved in the exposure and the mechanism of exposure.

Follow up: Contact available healthcare service provider

SUPERVISOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES

First Aid and Decontamination: Verify that the worker has washed and decontaminated

himself/herself.

Ensure that appropriate medical treatment has been received.

Confirm that the area has been secured and that notification of contamination has been posted

to prevent other individuals from entering the area.

Report the exposure: The report must include the following:

A brief description of the exposure event, a description of the area involved, and the

extent of employee exposure

Corrective action taken to prevent the re-occurrence of the incident

Decontamination procedures

Follow-Up: Confirm that the worker has called for an appointment at the available healthcare

provider.

SEEFOR SPCU RESPONSIBILITIES


The SEEFOR SPCU will ensure that personnel are trained in the use of safe procedures to

prevent accidental exposure before assignment to any field work.

The SEEFOR SPCU will carefully explain the necessity of immunization with tetanus toxoid.

The SEEFOR SPCU will ensure that all laboratory workers are either fully immunized against, or

sign a written declination form.

The SEEFOR SPCU may request assistance from Ministry of Health or SMEnv in providing

information about safe work procedures and the necessity of immunization with tetanus toxoid.

For assistance, the SEEFOR SPCU should call the SMEnv Public Health Officer

5.7 Mitigation Measures for Refuse collection and Disposal Project

Mitigation measures proffered are generally preventive and based on best practices with regards

to impacts arising from identified specific activities to be carried out in the course of the project.

GHG Emissions: Proffered mitigation measures for these include regular maintenance of

Compact trucks for collection, use of specified fuel etc

Occupational Health and Safety Risks: Measures for these enforce training of contractor’s personnel

in safe work procedures prior to commencement of works.

Waste Disposal: Waste shall be transported in compact trucks or covered trucks to designated

dumpsites approved by the SME and/or DELSEPA.

Traffic: Line configurations should be used to help reduce road traffic. Also the collection and

disposal should be performed during low traffic period (early in the morning or late at night).

This will coincide with the time when the road will be less busy. Creation of alternate route for

road users during operation. Use of adequate machinery in relation to street size and capacity

(e.g. wheel barrow/smaller vans for smaller streets) to avoid damage to buidlings and properties,

Training of drivers on road use, Use of caution signs during operation will mitigate traffic

accidents.

Social impacts: Social mobilization and awareness programs will be conducted on the project and

its benefits to enhance performance of the project. Hospitals, Schools, residents etc. should be

provided facemasks in during work hours to reduce the inhalation of foul odor and emissions.

Incorporate the youths of the project communities into the project from the inception to

minimise conflict, Trainings and capacity building for the youths will be of importance.

Provision of financial/technical assistance to enable PSPs meet required performance target and

procure equipment. Alternative inexpensive yet environmentally sound methods can be

employed or recommended for use (eg dina trucks covered with netting or trampoline),

incorporate private dumpsite owners and cart pushers into the project to avoid loose of income:

assign them other duties and responsibilities, develop Capacity building and skill acquisition

programs.

Other mitigation measures for potential contamination of surface water, and soils will include

prevention of spill during transportation of the collected refuse to dumpsite. This can be


achieved by using recommended vehicles and machinery for operation. Also preventing runoff

and leaches from the dumpsite into surface water or filtration into ground water may be achieved

by good design and selection of dumpsite.

5.8 Monitoring Program

It is planned that the environmental and social impacts and their designed mitigation measures

shall be monitored during implementation of the refuse collection and disposal project. The roles

and responsibilities for monitoring the environmental and social impacts and mitigation

measures are as follows:

The State Employment and Expenditure for Results (SEEFOR) Project SPCU will ensure

implementation of all mitigation measures. The State Ministry of Environment (SME), National

Environmental Standards Regulatory Enforcement Agency (State), and Delta State

Environmental Protection Agency (DELSEPA) will ensure implementation of measures that

concern the environment. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Delta State Transport

Management Authority will ensure that mitigation measures for impacts on traffic are

implemented. Contractors will be responsible for task-specific mitigation. Independent

Consultants will be responsible for the development of management plans as described in the

ESMP (e.g. site-specific safety management plans, site-specific waste management plans,

workers, respiratory protection program. Public Health departments in the project cities will be

responsible for monitoring distribution of face masks to schools, offices etc.

The SME/DELSEPA will undertake compliance monitoring and periodic inspection of work

areas. The Ministry of Works will also be involved in some level of monitoring.

All the mitigation measures specified in this plan shall be included in the bid documents for the

successful enterprise to implement. Campaigns on HIV/AIDS, environmental protection and

personal hygiene and sanitation shall also be undertaken. For this purpose, services of

experienced NGOs in the fields would be sought.

5.9 REQUIREMENTS

Following the general observations and findings during the conduct of field visits, environmental

assessment, potential impacts identification, consultations with the SEEFOR SPCU, and

stakeholders, the under-listed are required to ensure quality assurance throughout the phases of

the rehabilitation works.

1. There should be provision for laid down standard procedures to manage conflicts, which

may arise during project implementation. Envisaged conflicts may result from increased

vehicular flow during the operation phases, interference with water pipeline, comingling of

staff, security and safety issues.

2. PSPs staff should be identified with distinct uniforms in order to facilitate easy and accurate

identification and should always be kitted with appropriate and durable and appropriate

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

3. Contractor should have a project Health and Safety manager, who will coordinate and


implement health and safety mitigation, measures as addressed in this ESMP.

4. All illegal dumpsites should be cleared and barricaded to avoid further use by residents.

5. Awareness and enlightenment campaign should be carried out to sensitize the residence of

the importance of the project and health and environmental implications of their continuous

improper disposal of refuse

6. New and Approved dumpsites should be provided for each of the cities to enhance adequate

disposal. These dumpsites should be fenced to prevent refuse flowing out to roadsides. Only

approved/certified PSPs should be allowed to dispose of Refuse at these sites.

7. Buildings or shades should be provided for the Dumpsite mangers/supervisors

8. More Equipment should be provided for the dumpsite mangers to enhance their activities.

These include PPEs, Raincoats, Rakes, Shovels and most importantly Bulldozers.

9. The Dumpsite management should regularly push the refuse daily to avoid overflow (7 days

for Warri and 6 days for others).

10. The PSPs that are currently collecting refuse in these cities should be maintained. This is

because they have a good understanding of the area and the customers and have been

servicing these zones over sometime.

11. The Waste Cart pushers should be integrated with the PSPs so as not to take them off their

source of livelihood.

12. The PSPs should be assisted in any way possible to access funds for equipment (Compact

Trucks/ Tipping Trucks) as most of them are middle income earners and may not have

enough funds to acquire such. This may be in the form of loan which they can repay over a

short period.

13. In areas that are not accessible (e.g. Cable point, flood areas etc.), there should be waste bins

at strategic and accessible spot where the PSPs can collect and evacuate the refuse at

stipulated days.

14. There should be enforcement by the government on residence to use the PSPs and

punishment for defaulters. Also individuals caught disposing at illegal sites should be

prosecuted. Residents within each community should be used as members of task force or

enforcement/compliance team.

15. Regular Health and Safety Trainings for the waste collectors should be encouraged

16. Healthcare insurance scheme should also be made available for the waste collectors and

those the work at the dumpsites

17. Segregation of Medical waste at source and dumpsite should be enforced. If possible one

PSP should be assigned in each city for collection and disposal of healthcare waste

18. There should be a good working relationship between the Health officers from the LGAs,

Waste Management Board, PSPs and The SEEFOR SPCU.


CHAPTER SIX STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT

6.1 Introduction

The Stakeholder engagement (Focus Group Consultations) for the Environmental and Social

Management Plan (ESMP) was conducted from26th of February to 4th of March, 2014. The

consultation meetings were held at different locations within each of the six project cities. The

consultation was done to ensure the effective participation and awareness of the stakeholders

and Project Affected Persons (PAPs).

The following had been taken into full account:

That sub-project activity will not impact negatively on the PAPs and social sensitivities

activities, and if so, that suitable mitigation measures will be implemented by the

proponent

That positive impact of sub-project activities will be enhanced.

The priority concerns raised by PAPs and other relevant stakeholders in order to

enable the SEEFOR SPCU have accurate knowledge of the potential adverse impacts

of the project’s activities, concerns raised by the stakeholders and the “suitable way

forward”.

6.2 Objectives of the Public Consultation

To create general public awareness and understanding of the project, and ensure its

acceptance;

To develop and maintain avenues of communication between the project proponent,

stakeholders and PAPs in order to ensure that their views and concerns are incorporated

into project design and implementation with the objectives of reducing, mitigating or

offsetting negative impacts and enhancing benefits from the project;

To inform and discuss about the nature and scale of adverse impacts and to identify and

prioritize the mitigation measures for the impacts in a more transparent and direct

manner;

To document the concerns raised by stakeholders and PAPs so that their views and

proposals are mainstreamed to formulate mitigation and benefit enhancement measures;

and

To sensitize local authorities of the impacts and solicit their views on the project and

discuss their share of the responsibility for the smooth functioning of the overall project

operations.


6.3 Stakeholders Identification

The Consultant and the SEEFOR SPCU worked together to identify the key stakeholders that

should be consulted during project implementation. This process was completed with the

identification of project- affected areas.

The identified stakeholders for consultations were selected as follows:

Government Organization: This level of public consultation constituted staff and

representatives from the SEEFOR SPCU

Community Level: At this level, the major communities consulted were members

resident within the six project cities. Industries, Market Associations, Youths

Associations, Waste Collectors (PSPs), Push cart waste collectors.

6.4 Consultation Methodologies

A combination of various consultation methods were used to assess knowledge, perception and

attitude of the groups consulted concerning the Proposed Refuse collection and Disposal Project

and their potential environmental and social impacts with regards to their business. The methods

used during the consultation process included interviews with key informants/people and small

group discussion.

During the consultation process, the stakeholders identified a number of project implementation

related issues and these are presented in this report.

6.5 Major Point of the Consultation

Key agenda points that were discussed with the stakeholders included:

Project understanding

Identification of potential impacts of the project-both positive and negative;

Stakeholders perception/attitudes about the sub-project;

Other relevant issues as raised by the stakeholders.

6.6 Major Findings from Public Consultation

The issues, concerns and demands raised by the stakeholders during the Public consultation, and

responses provided by the ESMP Consultant have been summarized and are provided below:

ISSUES/CONCERNS/DEMANDS REACTIONS BY SPCU, SMENV,

WMB, CONSULTANT

That the Government should provide them

with approved Dumpsite in cities such as

Warri, Udu, Uvwie, Sapele and Ughelli

The SMEnv, DELSWMB and the Local

Government Authorities will provide

designated dumpsites within close

proximity of each of the cities.


Also that Bulldozers be provided at the

Dumpsites to enable 24hour work so as to

avoid over flowing of dirt at dumpsites

The PSPs expressed their fear that politicians

and rich businessmen may hijack the project

and dump the existing Waste collectors. Also

the PSPs pleaded that the SEEFOR SPCU

should try and make the criteria for

qualification too stringent for middle/low

income earners to participate

Also that the SEEFOR SPCU should assist

them in getting Loan facility from Banks to

buy Compactor trucks or Tipping Trucks

That they will need regular training on Health

and Safety

That the government should create access

roads especially in the areas that are not

accessible for easy movement of their truck.

That the SEEFOR should help enforce the use

of the Waste Collectors (PSPs) by residents

That the Zones should be further sub-divided

and more PSPs involved as each zone contains

more than the stated number of houses

recommended for the project. This will give

room for better service.

SEEFOR highlighted their effort towards

getting the government to procure the

needed machinery and/or contract the

management of these dumpsites to a

private contractor while the WMB

monitors their activities.

They were assured that the criteria for

selection which is in the PIM would be

followed strictly. And expressed that the

project was primarily to create jobs and not

remove people from their jobs.

They SPCU stated that it is not in their

power to assist the PSP to get loans,

however, they will give technical support

where need be.

SEEFOR inform the PSPs the need to

have Health safety offices in their team and

also tated that trainings may be arranged in

due time.

Stated that there is currently ongoing road

constructions within the state. Also that

they inaccessible areas may need alternative

means of waste evacuation( eg smaller

vans/wheel barrows)

There may be need to form a task force to

monitor and ensure compliance. The

members of the taskforce should include

people living within their respective zones.

The SPCU stated that the enumeration

exercise will assist in knowing the exact

modality to use in dividing the zones. Also

that after a few years, the performance will

be assessed and then determine the need to

further divide the zones.


The Residents stated that the SEEFOR should

make the tariff affordable and uniform for the

different categories

The PSPs also stated that the Government

should look into the attacks by youths at the

dumpsites (e.g. Ughelli)

Also other local revenue collector should be

harmonized within the state to avoid double

billing on the PSPs

That the government should also create more

awareness to allow for maximum participation

and cooperation by the residents.

The scavengers suggested that segregation at

source should be encouraged to make their

sorting easier and reduce risk of exposure

especially with HealthCare Waste (needles and

sharps).

The tariff will be worked out by a

financial/billing expert to suit individuals,

buildings, industries etc.

Constant awareness and incorporation of

the youths and traditional rulers which is

ongoing will prevent this in the future.

Since the project is backed by the

government, in conjunction with waste

management board and SMEnv, there will

be harmony. So there will not be avenue

for double billing.

There will be continues awareness

campaign as part of the program. This will

involve the media (TV and Radio), NGOs

and other advertising agencies

They were told it may take a while but

something can be started through the

awareness and sensitization. Private sector

companies were also encouraged to buy

into the project as they can recover wealth

from waste generated


CHAPTER SEVEN INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT

7.1 Introduction

It is necessary to highlight and define the roles, responsibilities and institutional arrangements for

the implementation of the SEEFOR project, as they are fundamental to the effective

implementation of the environmental safeguard measures outlined in this ESMP. Accordingly,

details of institution arrangements and the roles and responsibilities of the various institutions in

the implementation of the ESMP are highlighted below.

7.2 Administrative Framework

In Nigeria, the power of regulation of all environmental matters is vested in the Federal Ministry

of Environment (FMENV), hitherto, the now defunct Federal Environmental Protection

Agency (FEPA) which was set up by Act 88, of 1988).

In Part III of the Act 88, the State Governments are encouraged to set up “their own

Environmental Protection Bodies for the purpose of maintaining good environmental quality in

the area of related pollutants under their control.”

Nigeria subscribes to a number of International Regulations and Conventions relating to

Environmental Protection.

International Development Partners/Agencies such as World Bank and other financial

organizations interested in development projects have sets of environmental categorizations,

assessments and management standards, which must be complied with by project proponents

before these institutions invest in them.

7.3 SEEFOR Institutional Arrangements

Generally, the SEEFOR project is expected to run at two levels, namely the Federal and State.

At the Federal level, the Coordination and Program Support will be managed by the National

Project Coordinating Unit (NSPCU) supervised by the Federal Ministry of Finance. The NSPCU

will establish coordination and support relationship with the State counterpart Agencies.


Thus at the State level, the governments of the four States are expected to set up by State Law,

agencies that would work in collaboration with the FPSU, though operating independently.

Albeit, the Ministry of Finance, Budget and /Economic Planning, as the case may be in the

various State is at present taking the lead in the coordination of the SEEFOR preparatory

programs. In the case of Delta state this is coordinated by the Ministry of Finance. The law or

legal agreement used in establishing the agencies will insulate the agencies and specifically the

management unit from undue political or administrative interference. In addition, to implement

the SEEFOR project according to the agreed terms and conditions, a formal agreement is

needed between the State Governments, the Implementing Agencies (SPCU) and other MDAs

outlining the tasks, responsibilities, schedules, procedures, deliverables etc., required for

preparation and implementation of the approved sub-projects.

Furthermore, the State Agency/Project Coordinating Unit (SPCU) will have an advisory board

or a technical steering committee and a management unit. The board will include representatives

from civil society and the government.

The Project Coordinating Unit (SPCU) shall be headed by a Project Coordinator who will

supervise activities of staff within three (3) major departments of the Agency, namely:

Operations, Finance and Administration, and Monitoring & Evaluation.

To capture the inflow and use of credit proceeds in a transparent manner through the Office of

the Accountant General [Project Financial Management Unit (PFMU) set up for financial

management of donor assisted projects at the state level], the SPCU shall establish a relationship

with PFMU.

This relationship would entail:

o A copy of the annual budget and work plan will be made available to the PFMU

by the SPCU;

o PFMU internal auditors will be responsible for regular internal audit in the SPCU

and submit quarterly reports to the government (copied to IDA).

o A copy of monthly progress reports, quarterly reviews and interim Financial

Reports (IFRs) shall be sent regularly to the PFMU;

o The PFMU internal auditors shall participate in quarterly monitoring visits to

communities as organized by the SPCU.


7.4 Roles and Responsibilities

The successful implementation of the ESMP depends on the commitment of the sector and

related institutions, and the capacity within the institutions to apply or use the ESMP effectively,

and the appropriate and functional institutional arrangements, among others.

Thus details of institutions arrangements, the roles and responsibilities of the institutions that

would be involved in the implementation of the ESMP are highlighted herewith. For the

purpose of this ESMP, the institutions identified could be categorized at three levels, namely:

Federal Level Institutions

o Federal Ministry of Environment and other relevant Ministries, Departments and

Agencies (MDAs).

State Level Institutions

o SPCUs and other relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

Local Government Level Institutions

o Local Government Review Committee (LGRC)

o Local Government Desk Office (LGDO)

Community Level and other Institutions

o Direct and Other Stakeholder/Groups

Community Project Management Committee (CPMC)

CDA

CBO/NGOs

World Bank

7.4.1 Federal Level Institutions The Federal institutions are responsible for the establishment of national policy goals and

objectives and the appropriate provision of technical and financial assistance to State and local

governments.


For this ESMP specifically, the Federal Ministry of Environment and her relevant agencies like

NESREA shall play the role of lead environmental regulator, overseeing compliance

requirements, granting consent and also monitoring or providing supervisory oversight for the

SEEFOR projects. It also shall receive comments from stakeholders, public hearing of project

proposals, and convening technical decision-making panel as well as provide approval and

needed clearance for EA/EMP or other environmental clearance.

matter, Project impacts and mitigation measure, Awareness

campaigns

The other institutions, on the other hand, come in as and when relevant areas or resources under

their jurisdiction or management are likely to be affected by or implicated in the execution of the

project. These institutions are grouped broadly into two – resource based ones and the utility

service providers. They all have a significant role and are consulted as appropriate. They

participate in the EA processes and in project decision-making that helps prevent or minimize

impacts and to mitigate them. These institutions may also be required:

To issue a consent or approval for an aspect of a sub- project;

To allow impact to a certain extent or impose restrictions or conditions.

Furthermore, the institutions may have monitoring responsibility or supervisory oversight during

in an area of concern or interest to them during implementation.

7.4.2 State Level Institutions The State level institutions include the SPCUs and other relevant Ministries, Departments and

Agencies (MDAs).

7.4.2.1 State Agencies/Project Management Unit (SA/SPCU) The SA/SPCU, as the implementing authority, has the mandate to:

Co-ordinate all policies, programs and actions of all related agencies in the States

Ensure the smooth and efficient implementation of the project’s various technical

programs

Cooperate through a Steering Committee that provides guidance to the technical aspects

of all project activities;

Maintain and manage all funds effectively and efficiently for the sub-projects

Plan, coordinate, manage and develop SEEFOR projects to ensure success.

Coordinate activities of the State Licensing Authority and all vehicle inspection units.

Recommend on policy issues to the Governor including mechanisms for implementation.

Prepare plans for the management and development of SEEFOR project.


Facilitate the discussion between PAPs and communities regarding compensation for land

carry out consultations with communities, support communities in carrying out RAPs and

implement the payment of compensation and other measures (relocation and rehabilitation

entitlement) to PAPs in a timely manner;

Ensure that progress reports are submitted to the World Bank regularly

7.4.2.1.1 SPCU Safeguard Units

To ensure environmental and socially friendliness of all SEEFOR projects, an Environmental/Social

Safeguards Unit that reports directly to the Project coordinator shall exists. The paramount objective of

the Environmental/Social Safeguards unit is to ensure the effective consideration and management of

environmental/social concerns in all aspects of SEEFOR project, from the design, planning,

implementation, monitoring and evaluation of initiatives in the various States. Thus a key function of the

Unit is to engender a broad consensus, through participatory methods and extensive dialogue with

affected and interested parties, on fair and adequate methods by which rights of way can be cleared of

occupants as needed, taking account of international standards for involuntary displacement as

incorporated into the World Bank's OP 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement and environmental compliance

with the EA.

With this, particular attention is directed at minimizing environmental/social risks associated with the

development of sub-project initiatives, as well as the identification and maximization of social

development opportunities arising from investments.

In the implementation of the SEEFOR, the Safeguard Unit will be expected to advice on the

environmental and social costs/benefits of the different options, putting this ESMP under consideration.

For all environmental and social issues, the Safeguard Unit shall work to closely with other relevant

MDAs in preparing a coordinated response on the environmental and social aspects of the SEEFOR sub-

projects.


To achieve this made, the SPCU would have in each State Steering Committee (Board) and a Project

Implementation Unit (PIU) for coordinating the day to day activities with the relevant line departments.

Two members of the SPCU will be designated as Environmental & Social Officers to oversee the

implementation of Safeguard

instrument as well as any other

environmental and social provisions as

deemed fit for project implementation

as per the regulations of the World

Bank and Government of Nigeria and

the respective State government. The

roles and responsibilities of the

Safeguard Specialists (Environmental

and Social Officers to anchor

environmental and social issues

distinctively) to be appointed are

indicated Box 2.

7.4.2.2 MDAs- State Ministries of

Environment/EPAs The State Ministries of

Environment/EPAs as the

compliance overseers have the lead

role in providing the State

Government’s response to developers

on EA matters. This includes

provision of advice on screening,

scoping, review of draft EA report (in

liaison with Federal Ministry of

Environment), receiving comments

from stakeholders, public hearing of the project proposals, and convening a technical decision-making

panel.

By the provision of acts, edicts and laws the states have also set up State Ministry of Environments

(SMEnvs) as the regulatory bodies to protect and manage the environmental issues in the states.

in Section 3.

Suffice it to say that like the Federal counterparts, the State MDAs shall also come in as and when

relevant areas or resources under their jurisdiction or management are likely to be affected by or

implicated in the execution of the SEEFOR project.

7.4.3 Local Government Level Institutions The Local Government has become accepted as the government nearest to the people or the masses. For

any meaningful development to take place, this level of government needs to be galvanized, to execute

people oriented programs, which seek to lower poverty level as is designed in SEEFOR, The LG would

create enabling environment for improved relationship between the Local Governments and Private and

Civil Organization for development

Cooperate with the State Governments to ensure that projects within their domains are sustainable in

every sense.

The Local Government Council has to be fully briefed and enlightened in the process and steps to be

taken in the ESMF/EA/EMP and the overall project execution. The Council should in turn engage and

should be encouraged to carry out a comprehensive and practical awareness campaign for the proposed

project, amongst the various relevant grass roots interest groups.

7.4.4 Community Level and other Institutions This includes direct and other concerned stakeholders/groups. This may have complaints/views that

need to be resolved in the choosing and execution of the various sub-projects. It is obvious that villages

and youth leaders shall ensure that social values are not interfered with.

7.4.5 World Bank It is pertinent to note that during Project supervision, the World Bank will assess the implementation of

the ESMP and recommend additional measures for strengthening the management framework and

implementation performance, where need be. The reporting framework, screening procedures and


preparation of management and mitigation plans shall be discussed and agreed by the Bank team and

SPCU during the early part of project implementation.

A comprehensive review of ESMF’s application could be undertaken 12 months after Project

effectiveness.

ANNEXURES


ANNEX ONE SUMMARY OF WORLD BANK SAFEGURAD

POLICIES

World Bank Operational Policies

The Bank has ten safeguards policies and these are:

OP 4.00 Use of Country Systems

OP 4.01 Environmental Assessment;

OP 4.30 Performance Standards

OP 4.04 Natural Habitats;

OP 4.09 Pest Management;

OP 4.11 Physical Cultural Heritage;

OP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement;

OP 4.10 Indigenous People;

OP 4.36 Forests;

OP 4.37 Safety of Dams;

OP 7.50 Projects on International Waterways;

OP 7.60 Projects in Disputed Areas

The triggered safeguard policies for this project are discussed below.

Environmental Assessment (EA) (OP/BP 4.01)

Environmental Assessment is used in the World Bank to identify, avoid, and mitigate the

potential negative environmental and social impacts associated with Bank’s lending operations

early on in the project cycle. In World Bank operations, the purpose of Environmental

Assessment is to improve decision making, to ensure that project options under consideration

are sound and sustainable, and that potentially affected people have been properly consulted and

their concerns addressed. This policy is triggered if a project is likely to have potential adverse

environmental and social risks and impacts in its area of influence. The EA has various tools that


can be used, including amongst others Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) or

Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), which is the case with this sub-project.

Natural Habitats (OP/BP 4.04)

Any project or sub-project with the potential to cause significant conversion (loss) or

degradation of natural habitats, whether directly (through construction) or indirectly (through

human activities induced by the project).

Forests (OP 4.36)

This operational policy aims to reduce deforestation, enhance the environmental contribution of

forested areas, promote afforestation, reduce poverty, and encourage economic development.

The policy recognizes the role forests play in poverty alleviation, economic development, and for

providing local as well as global environmental services. Success in establishing sustainable forest

conservation and management practices depends not only on changing the behavior of all critical

stakeholders, but also on a wide range of partnerships to accomplish what no country,

government agency, donor, or interest group can do alone.

This policy applies to the following types of Bank financed investment projects:

a. Projects that have or may have impacts on the health and quality of forests;

b. Projects that affect the rights and welfare of people and their level of dependence upon or

interaction with forests;

c. Projects that aim to bring about changes in the management, protection, or utilization of

natural forests or plantations, whether they are publicly, privately, or communally owned.

Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)

This policy can be triggered if the project will involve involuntary taking of land and involuntary

restrictions of access to property, protected areas, etc. The policy aims to avoid involuntary

resettlement to the extent feasible, or to minimize and mitigate its adverse social and economic

impacts. It promotes participation of displaced people in resettlement planning and

implementation. The main objective of this policy is to assist displaced persons in their efforts to

improve or at least restore their incomes and standards of living after displacement. The policy

prescribes compensation and other resettlement measures to achieve its objectives and requires

that borrowers prepare adequate resettlement planning instruments prior to Bank appraisal of

proposed projects.

Pest Management OP 4.09

This policy is to (i) promote the use of biological or environmental control and reduce reliance

on synthetic chemical pesticides; and (ii) strengthen the capacity of the country’s regulatory

framework and institutions to promote and support safe, effective and environmentally sound


pest management. It is envisaged that the Project activities on one side may affect the habitats of

native fauna (most likely pests such as wild rodents etc.) and on the other, lead to movement of

displaced pests to local farm lands and homes (as farmland is the next abundant mass of land in

the project states besides forests). In the event of this, the policy aims to (a) Ascertain that pest

management activities in Bank-financed operations are based on integrated approaches and seek

to reduce reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides (Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in

agricultural projects and Integrated Vector Management (IVM) in public health projects. (b)

Ensure that health and environmental hazards associated with pest management, especially the

use of pesticides are minimized and can be properly managed by the user. (c) As necessary,

support policy reform and institutional capacity development to (i) enhance implementation of

IPM-based pest management and (ii) regulate and monitor the distribution and use of pesticides.

World Bank performance Standards (OP 4.30/BP 4.30)

The aim of this policy is to facilitate Bank financing1 for private sector led economic

development projects by applying environmental and social policy standards that are better

suited to the private sector, while enhancing greater policy coherence and cooperation across the

World Bank Group.

The eight IFC Performance Standards have been adopted by the Bank as the World Bank

Performance Standards for Projects Supported by the Private Sector (“WB Performance Standards”) for

application to Bank support for projects (or components thereof) that are designed, owned,

constructed and/or operated by a Private Entity, in lieu of the World Bank’s safeguard policies

(“WB Safeguard Policies”). The eight World Bank Performance Standards are:

Performance Standard 1: Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social

Risks and Impacts

Performance Standard 2: Labor and Working Conditions

Performance Standard 3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention

Performance Standard 4: Community Health, Safety, and Security

Performance Standard 5: Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement

Performance Standard 6: Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of

Living Natural Resources

Performance Standard 7: Indigenous Peoples

Performance Standard 8: Cultural Heritage

This OP sets forth the circumstances under which the WB Performance Standards may be

applied, the roles and responsibilities of the Private Entity implementing the project, and of the

Bank in supporting environmental and social sustainability aspects of the project.

ANNEX TWO GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL

MANAGEMENT CONDITIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION

CONTRACTS

1. In addition to these general conditions, the Contractor shall comply with any specific

Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the works he is responsible for.

The Contractor shall inform himself about such an ESMP, and prepare his work strategy and

plan to fully take into account relevant provisions of that ESMP. If the Contractor fails to

implement the approved ESMP after written instruction by the Supervising Engineer (SE) to

fulfil his obligation within the requested time, the Owner reserves the right to arrange

through the SE for execution of the missing action by a third party on account of the

Contractor.

2. Notwithstanding the Contractor’s obligation under the above clause, the Contractor shall

implement all measures necessary to avoid undesirable adverse environmental and social

impacts wherever possible, restore work sites to acceptable standards, and abide by any

environmental performance requirements specified in an ESMP. In general these measures

shall include but not be limited to:

a) Minimize the effect of dust on the surrounding environment resulting from earth mixing

sites, asphalt mixing sites, dispersing coal ashes, vibrating equipment, temporary access

roads, etc. to ensure safety, health and the protection of workers and communities living

in the vicinity of dust producing activities.

b) Ensure that noise levels emanating from machinery, vehicles and noisy construction

activities (e.g. excavation, blasting) are kept at a minimum for the safety, health and

protection of workers within the vicinity of high noise levels and nearby communities.

c) Ensure that existing water flow regimes in rivers, streams and other natural or irrigation

channels is maintained and/or re-established where they are disrupted due to works

being carried out.

d) Prevent bitumen, oils, lubricants and waste water used or produced during the execution

of works from entering into rivers, streams, irrigation channels and other natural water

bodies/reservoirs, and also ensure that stagnant water in uncovered borrow pits is

treated in the best way to avoid creating possible breeding grounds for mosquitoes.


e) Prevent and minimize the impacts of quarrying, earth borrowing, piling and building of

temporary construction camps and access roads on the biophysical environment

including protected areas and arable lands; local communities and their settlements. In as

much as possible restore/rehabilitate all sites to acceptable standards.

f) Upon discovery of ancient heritage, relics or anything that might or believed to be of

archaeological or historical importance during the execution of works, immediately

report such findings to the SE so that the appropriate authorities may be expeditiously

contacted for fulfilment of the measures aimed at protecting such historical or

archaeological resources.

g) Discourage construction workers from engaging in the exploitation of natural resources

such as hunting, fishing, and collection of forest products or any other activity that might

have a negative impact on the social and economic welfare of the local communities.

h) Implement soil erosion control measures in order to avoid surface run off and prevents

siltation, etc.

i) Ensure that garbage, sanitation and drinking water facilities are provided in construction

worker scamps.

j) Ensure that, in as much as possible, local materials are used to avoid importation of

foreign material and long distance transportation.

k) Ensure public safety, and meet traffic safety requirements for the operation of work to

avoid accidents.

3. The Contractor shall indicate the period within which he/she shall maintain status on site

after completion of civil works to ensure that significant adverse impacts arising from such

works have been appropriately addressed.

4. The Contractor shall adhere to the proposed activity implementation schedule and the

monitoring plan / strategy to ensure effective feedback of monitoring information to project

management so that impact management can be implemented properly, and if necessary,

adapt to changing and unforeseen conditions.

5. Besides the regular inspection of the sites by the Supervising Engineer for adherence to

the contract conditions and specifications, the Owner may appoint an Inspector to oversee

the compliance with these environmental conditions and any proposed mitigation measures.

State environmental authorities may carry out similar inspection duties. In all cases, as

directed by the SE, the Contractor shall comply with directives from such inspectors to

implement measures required to ensure the adequacy rehabilitation measures carried out on

the bio-physical environment and compensation for socio-economic disruption resulting

from implementation of any works.

6. All vessels (drums, containers, bags, etc.) containing oil/fuel/surfacing materials and other

hazardous chemicals shall be bonded in order to contain spillage. All waste containers, litter

and any other waste generated during the construction shall be collected and disposed of at

designated disposal sites in line with applicable government waste management regulations.


7. All drainage and effluent from storage areas, workshops and camp sites shall be captured

and treated before being discharged into the drainage system in line with applicable

government water pollution control regulations.

8. Used oil from maintenance shall be collected and disposed of appropriately at designated

sites or be reused or sold for re-use locally.

9. Entry of runoff to the site shall be restricted by constructing diversion channels or holding

structures such as banks, drains, dams, etc. to reduce the potential of soil erosion and water

pollution.

10. Construction waste shall not be left in stockpiles along the road, but removed and reused

or disposed of on a daily basis.

11. If disposal sites for clean spoil are necessary, they shall be located in areas, approved by

the SE, of low land use value and where they will not result in material being easily washed

into drainage channels. Whenever possible, spoil materials should be placed in low-lying

areas and should be compacted and planted with species indigenous to the locality.

12. The Contractor shall obtain appropriate licenses/permits from relevant authorities to

operate quarries or borrow areas.

13. The location of quarries and borrow areas shall be subject to approval by relevant local

and national authorities, including traditional authorities if the land on which the quarry or

borrow areas fall in traditional land.

14. New extraction sites:

15. Vegetation clearing shall be restricted to the area required for safe operation of

construction work. Vegetation clearing shall not be done more than two months in advance

of operations.

16. Stockpile areas shall be located in areas where trees can act as buffers to prevent dust

pollution. Perimeter drains shall be built around stockpile areas. Sediment and other

pollutant traps shall be located at drainage exits from workings.

17. The Contractor shall deposit any excess material in accordance with the principles of

these general conditions, and any applicable ESMP, in areas approved by local authorities

and/or the SE.

18. Areas for depositing hazardous materials such as contaminated liquid and solid materials

shall be approved by the SE and appropriate local and/or national authorities before the

commencement of work. Use of existing, approved sites shall be preferred over the

establishment of new sites.

19. To the extent practicable, the Contractor shall rehabilitate the site progressively so that

the rate of rehabilitation is similar to the rate of construction.

20. Always remove and retain topsoil for subsequent rehabilitation. Soils shall not be

stripped when they are wet as this can lead to soil compaction and loss of structure.

21. Topsoil shall not be stored in large heaps. Low mounds of no more than 1 to 2m high

are recommended.

22. Re-vegetate stockpiles to protect the soil from erosion, discourage weeds and maintain an

active population of beneficial soil microbes.

23. Locate stockpiles where they will not be disturbed by future construction activities.

24. To the extent practicable, reinstate natural drainage patterns where they have been altered

or impaired.

25. Remove toxic materials and dispose of them in designated sites. Backfill excavated areas

with soils or overburden that is free of foreign material that could pollute groundwater and

soil.

26. Identify potentially toxic overburden and screen with suitable material to prevent

mobilization of toxins.

suitable for the desired long-term land use, and allow natural regeneration of vegetation.

28. Minimize the long-term visual impact by creating landforms that are compatible with the

adjacent landscape.

29. Minimize erosion by wind and water both during and after the process of reinstatement.

30. Compacted surfaces shall be deep ripped to relieve compaction unless subsurface

conditions dictate otherwise.


31. Re-vegetate with plant species that will control erosion, provide vegetative diversity and,

through succession, contribute to a resilient ecosystem. The choice of plant species for

rehabilitation shall be done in consultation with local research institutions, forest department

and the local people.

Water Resources Management

32. The Contractor shall at all costs avoid conflicting with water demands of local

communities.

33. Abstraction of both surface and underground water shall only be done with the

consultation of the local community and after obtaining a permit from the relevant Water

Authority.

34. Abstraction of water from wetlands shall be avoided. Where necessary, authority has to

be obtained from relevant authorities.

35. Temporary damming of streams and rivers shall be done in such a way avoids disrupting

water supplies to communities downstream, and maintains the ecological balance of the river

system.

36. No construction water containing spoils or site effluent, especially cement and oil, shall

be allowed to flow into natural water drainage courses.

37. Wash water from washing out of equipment shall not be discharged into water courses or

road drains.

38. Site spoils and temporary stockpiles shall be located away from the drainage system, and

surface run off shall be directed away from stockpiles to prevent erosion.

39. Location of access roads/detours shall be done in consultation with the local community

especially in important or sensitive environments. Access roads shall not traverse wetland

areas.

40. Upon the completion of civil works, all access roads shall be ripped and rehabilitated.

41. Access roads shall be sprinkled with water at least five times a day in settled areas, and

three times in unsettled areas, to suppress dust emissions.

42. Blasting activities shall not take place less than 2km from settlement areas, cultural sites,

or wetlands without the permission of the SE.

43. Blasting activities shall be done during working hours, and local communities shall be

consulted on the proposed blasting times.

44. Noise levels reaching the communities from blasting activities shall not exceed 90

decibels.


45. Unusable materials and construction elements such as electro-mechanical equipment,

pipes, accessories and demolished structures will be disposed of in a manner approved by the

SE. The Contractor has to agree with the SE which elements are to be surrendered to the

Client’s premises, which will be recycled or reused, and which will be disposed of at

approved landfill sites.

46. As far as possible, abandoned pipelines shall remain in place. Where for any reason no

alternative alignment for the new pipeline is possible, the old pipes shall be safely removed

and stored at a safe place to be agreed upon with the SE and the local authorities concerned.

47. AC-pipes as well as broken parts thereof have to be treated as hazardous material and

disposed of as specified above.

48. Unsuitable and demolished elements shall be dismantled to a size fitting on ordinary

trucks for transport.

49. In advance of the construction work, the Contractor shall mount an awareness and

hygiene campaign. Workers and local residents shall be sensitized on health risks particularly

of AIDS.

50. Adequate road signs to warn pedestrians and motorists of construction activities,

diversions, etc. shall be provided at appropriate points.

51. Construction vehicles shall not exceed maximum speed limit of 40km per hour.

52. Should the Contractor, deliberately or accidentally, damage private property, he shall

repair the property to the owner’s satisfaction and at his own cost. For each repair, the

Contractor shall obtain from the owner a certificate that the damage has been made good

satisfactorily in order to indemnify the Client from subsequent claims.

53. In cases where compensation for inconveniences, damage of crops etc. are claimed by

the owner, the Client has to be informed by the Contractor through the SE. This

compensation is in general settled under the responsibility of the Client before signing the

Contract. In unforeseeable cases, the respective administrative entities of the Client will take

care of compensation.

54. Within 6 weeks of signing the Contract, the Contractor shall prepare an EHS-MP to

ensure the adequate management of the health, safety, environmental and social aspects of

the works, including implementation of the requirements of these general conditions and any

specific requirements of an EMP for the works.

The Contractor’s EHS-MP will serve two main purposes:

• For the Contractor, for internal purposes, to ensure that all measures are in place for

adequate HSE management, and as an operational manual for his staff.

• For the Client, supported where necessary by a SE, to ensure that the Contractor is

fully prepared for the adequate management of the HSE aspects of the project, and

as a basis for monitoring of the Contractor’s HSE performance.

55. The Contractor’s EHS-MP shall provide at least:


• A description of procedures and methods for complying with these general

environmental management conditions, and any specific conditions specified in an

EMP;

• A description of specific mitigation measures that will be implemented in order to

minimize adverse impacts;

• A description of all planned monitoring activities (e.g. sediment discharges from

borrow areas) and the reporting thereof; and

• The internal organizational, management and reporting mechanisms put in place for

such.

56. The Contractor’s EHS-MP will be reviewed and approved by the Client before start of

the works. This review should demonstrate if the Contractor’s EHS-MP covers all of the

identified impacts, and has defined appropriate measures to counteract any potential impacts.

57. The Contractor shall prepare bi-weekly progress reports to the SE on compliance with

these general conditions, the project EMP if any, and his own EHS-MP. An example format

for a Contractor HSE report is given below. It is expected that the Contractor’s reports will

include information on:

• HSE management actions/measures taken, including approvals sought from local or

national authorities;

• Problems encountered in relation to HSE aspects (incidents, including delays, cost

consequences, etc. as a result thereof);

• Lack of compliance with contract requirements on the part of the Contractor;

• Changes of assumptions, conditions, measures, designs and actual works in relation

to HSE aspects; and

• Observations, concerns raised and/or decisions taken with regard to HSE

management during site meetings.

58. It is advisable that reporting of significant HSE incidents be done “as soon as

practicable”. Such incident reporting shall therefore be done individually. Also, it is advisable

that the Contractor keeps his own records on health, safety and welfare of persons, and

damage to property. It is advisable to include such records, as well as copies of incident

reports, as appendices to the bi-weekly reports. Example formats for an incident notification

and detailed report are given below. Details of HSE performance will be reported to the

Client through the SE’s reports to the Client

59. The Contractor shall provide sufficient training to his own personnel to ensure that they

are all aware of the relevant aspects of these general conditions, any project EMP, and his

own EHS-MP, and are able to fulfill their expected roles and functions. Specific training

should be provided to those employees that have particular responsibilities associated with

the implementation of the EHS-MP.

General topics should be:


• Occupational Health and Safety Basics

• Occupational Health and Safety in water supply pipeline installation

• Safety Practices in Borehole installation and Aquifer Abstraction

• Electrical Safety Basics

• Hazard Identification and Control

• Hazard Communication Program

• Accident Investigation

• Asbestos Management

• Safe work Procedures

• Fall Protection

• Noise Management Program

• Workers Respiratory Program

• Work place Violence Management

• Fire Safety

• Emergency Management; and

• Social and cultural awareness

60. It is expected that compliance with these conditions is already part of standard good

workmanship and state of the art as generally required under this Contract. The item

“Compliance with Environmental Management Conditions” in the Bill of Quantities covers

these costs. No other payments will be made to the Contractor for compliance with any

request to avoid and/or mitigate an avoidable HSE impact.

which a resolution to a grievance is sought and provided. The redressal of grievance will serve as

a forum for people to express their dissatisfaction over resettlement plans. It will also limit

unnecessary delays and cost overrun of the project.

The SEEFOR Project could will bring about dramatic changes within the affected communities.

These changes may lead to opportunity for some or may put others at risk.

Purpose of Grievance Redress Mechanism

The people affected by the SEEFOR Project will raise their grievances about actual or perceived

impacts in order to find a satisfactory solution. This is an important aspect in this dam project

because land acquisition is indispensable through the course of the project.

These grievances, influenced by their physical, situational (e.g., employment), and/or social

losses, can surface at different stages of the project cycle. Some grievances may arise during the

project design and planning stage, while others may come up during project implementation.

Not only should affected persons (APs) be able to raise their grievances and be given an

adequate hearing, but also satisfactory solutions should be found that mutually benefit both the

APs and the Federal Ministry of Power. It is equally important that APs have access to

legitimate, reliable, transparent, and efficient institutional mechanisms that are responsive to their

complaints.

Members of the Grievance Redress Committees (GRC)

The Grievance Redress Committees, GRC, will be mandated to deal with all types of grievances

arising at the community level due to the SEEFOR Project. The GRC members will comprise of

qualified, experienced, and competent personnel who will be able to interact and gain the trust of

the APs in their communities. The GRC should consist of both male and female representatives.


They should be able to accept complaints, provide relevant information on the process, discuss

the complainants’ situations with AP’s, and explore possible approaches for resolution

The committee will include the following members:

Resettlement Policy Framework Consultant

Social safeguard officer for the SEEFOR;

A representative of women residing the affected Project study area;

A representative from the Private sector (if a private company is located within the affected

area);

A representative of a voluntary organization, NGO;

Members of Local Government area included in the affected area;

A representative appointed by the Community head.

The Grievance Redress Committee will be responsible for:

Communicating with the Affected Persons (AP) and evaluate if they are entitled to

recompense:

to publicize within the Communities the list of affected persons and the functioning of

the established grievance redressal procedure;

to recommend to the Safeguards Officer of SEEFOR solutions to such grievances from

affected persons;

to communicate the decisions to the APs; and

to acknowledge appeals from persons, households or groups who rightfully will not be

affected by the SEEFOR, but claim to be, and to recommend to the NPMU whether

such persons should be recognized as AP, and to communicate back the decisions to the

Claimants.

Summary of the Community Grievance Procedure

Many grievances arise due to failure to provide sufficient and timely information to

communities. Accurate and adequate information about a project and its activities, and


approximate implementation schedule, will be communicated to the communities, especially

APs, regularly throughout the project process.

Stakeholders from the community and FPMU in the state and local level will be involved in

the grievance mechanism design. SEEFOR Project will engage community representatives to

identify key issues such as the kinds of disputes that could arise during the project activities, how

people in the community actually want to raise concerns, the effectiveness of current SEEFOR

procedures for resolving complaints, and the availability of local resources to resolve conflicts.

This will assist in shaping both the design and future improvements.

All grievances related to resettlement will be managed though the Grievance Redress Committee

(GRC). The objective of the Community Grievance Procedure is to receive, respond and address

any grievances made to the Project. Grievances will be responded to as quickly and efficiently as

possible, avoiding escalation of the issue, reducing negative impacts on the local population and

maintaining a positive attitude towards the Project amongst stakeholders.

The Grievance Procedure will be available to local populations residing in the Project areas and

other stakeholders directly affected by the Project (which may include landowners residing in

urban centers). The Grievance Redress Committee representatives serving, as focal points are

most effective if they are trustworthy, trained, knowledgeable, and approachable regardless of the

ethnicity, gender, or religion of the complainant. Therefore, effort will be made to ensure this.

Local populations residing in the Project areas and other stakeholders directly affected by the

Project will be informed about the grievance process transparency and credibility of the process

and they will be provided with both verbal (through regular Stakeholder meetings) and written

(such as newsletters) forms

Other channels of presenting complaints could include presentation of complaints via third

parties (e.g., village elites, community‐based organizations, lawyers, NGOs etc.); community

meetings; suggestion boxes (maybe placed in churches, village and market squares) allowing for

anonymity; face‐to‐face meetings; written complaints etc. This will be accessible to all especially

more vulnerable groups such as women and youth. Confidentiality and privacy for complainants

should be granted.

The grievance mechanism will be open to a wide range of concerns both those based in factual

data and those arising from perceptions or misperceptions. Perceived concerns can be as critical


to address as actual hazards. The mechanism should also be able to address multi-party and

multi-issue complaints.

Community consultations and dialogue for the project will be implemented. Efforts will be made

to provide community members with opportunities to express their concerns, clarifying and

respond to their issues and to find out their views. Receiving these feedbacks will benefit the

community members, and GRC.

Capacity development for community facilitators, GRC and field-level staff will be implemented

because they are the organs that will reach out to the communities, and it becomes necessary for

these staff and representatives to be well grounded with adequate information on the project.

They will be able to communicate effectively in the local languages, understanding community

dynamics and processes, negotiation and conflict resolution, and empathizing with communities

and their needs. Building trust and maintaining good rapport with the people in the Project areas

by providing relevant information on the project and responding effectively to their needs and

concerns will help solve issues before they even become grievances. It is also important that the

community facilitators, GRC and field-level staff provide feedback to the Federal Ministry of

Power.

The design and operation of the grievance mechanism will consider cultural differences, such as

communities’ preferences for direct or indirect negotiation; attitudes toward competition,

cooperation, and conflict; the desire to preserve relationships among complainants; authority,

social rank, and status; ways of understanding and interpreting the world; concepts of time

management; attitudes toward third parties; and the broader social and institutional environment.

The GRC will make efforts to provide regular feedback to relevant stakeholders in order to

clarify expectations about what the mechanism does and does not do; to encourage people to use

the mechanism; to present results; and to gather feedback to improve the grievance system.

Scope of Grievances

Using the information gathered through the assessment of the situation in the community, the

GRC will endeavor to review the type of grievances that are likely to arise. Generally, grievance

mechanisms should be open to a wide range of concerns: both those based in factual data and

those arising from perceptions or misperceptions. Perceived concerns can be as critical to

address as actual hazards. They often arise when people do not have adequate information. The


mechanism should also be able to address multiparty and multi-issue complaints. The members

of the GRC have to establish the types of complaints that the mechanism will primarily target.

Community Expectations When Grievances Arise

The members of the community will expect that their grievances will be addressed by the

SEEFOR, which we will aim to achieve through the GRC.

When local people present a grievance, they generally expect to receive one or more of the

following:

A concession in recognition of their problem

An honest response to questions about SEEFOR Project activities

An apology

Compensation when applicable

Modification of the activities that caused the grievance

Some other fair remedy.

Steps in carrying out a Grievance Redress Mechanism

There is no ideal method of approach to grievance resolution however; the best solutions to

conflicts are generally achieved through localized mechanisms that take account of the specific

issues, cultural context, local customs, and the project state and its magnitude.

The Grievance Redress Committees of the SEEFOR will endeavor to be hold meetings with the

aggrieved person(s) or groups within a maximum of 3 weeks from the time of receiving the

complaint.

The following steps will be followed throughout the Grievance Redress Mechanism process in

the various Communities.

Methods that can be used to Receive, & Register, Screen, Assess, and Respond to Grievances

To Receive and Register a Complaint

The channels for receiving and registering complaints is a simple process where local people can

inform the GRC about concerns directly and, if necessary, anonymously or via third parties.

Reception procedures are most effective if they are convenient, culturally appropriate, simple to

understand, and easy to use.


Multiple channels should be available to gather and forward the AP’s concerns. At least one

member of the network should be independent of the Project team. The GRC will accept

complaints, whether written or oral, record them on a simple form, to deal with the issue or if

need be, forwarded to the focal point of contact at the Federal Ministry of Power for further

action.

Diverse methods that are culturally appropriate should be used, including self-identified,

confidential, or anonymous procedures (professional letter writers, suggestion boxes).

A member of the GRC should be available to receive complaints and log them into a central

register.

Screening for Eligibility of Complaints

This process determines whether a complaint is eligible for inclusion in the grievance

mechanism. The GRC should develop a screening procedure based upon few simple eligibility

criteria that do not involve judging the substantive merit of the complaint.

Eligible complaints may include those where:

The complaint is related to the project.

The issues raised in the complaint fall within the scope of issues the grievance mechanism is

authorized to address.

The complainant has standing to file.

Ineligible complaints may include those where:

The complaint is not related to the SEEFOR project

The nature of the issue is outside the mandate of the grievance mechanism.

The complainant has no standing to file

Other community procedures are more appropriate to address the issue.

If the complaint is rejected, the complainant is informed of the decision and the reasons for the

rejection. If eligible, the complainant will be notified, and the grievance will be processed and the

next stage that is assessment will follow.


The GRC will ensure that that all grievances are truly understood before they are responded. It

must be established that all complaints received form the AP’s receive a favorable judgment

before rejecting.

*

Assessment procedures (who conducts the assessment and how is the assessment

conducted)

*

Procedures to identify appropriate people in company to whom a specific concern

should be forwarded

*

Procedures to determine the appropriate resolution process (in consultation with

complainant)

*

Procedures for making decisions on proposed settlements

*

Appropriate time frames for each step in the grievance resolution process (including

screening, assessment, and resolution)


*

Assessment procedures (who conducts the assessment and how is the assessment

conducted)

*

Notification procedures to the complainant about eligibility, assessment results,

proposed settlement, and the like.

Assess the Grievance At this stage the GRC will gathers information about the case and the key

issues of concerns which will help to determine whether and how the complaint might be

resolved

Procedure for Assessing Grievance is as follows:

Determine who will conduct the assessment. A Complaints Coordinator will be appointed to

perform this task or directs it to an appropriate person(s) for assessment (production,

procurement, environment, community relations, human resources).

A representative from the GRC will endeavor to engage directly with the complainants to gain

understanding of the nature of the complaint. Clarify the parties, issues, views, and options

involved. Identify the parties involved. Clarify issues and concerns raised by the complaint.

Gather views of other stakeholders, including those in the GRC and SEEFOR.

Determine initial options that parties have considered and explore various approaches for

settlement.

Classify the complaint in terms of its seriousness (high, medium, or low). Using this category,

seriousness, will measure the potential to impact the community. The factors to consider will

include: the gravity of the allegation, the potential impact on an individual’s or a group’s welfare

and safety, or the public profile of the issue.


Engage more directly with the complainant in the assessment process, and involve the

complainant in influencing the resolution process to be selected, and settlement options.

Formulate a Response Procedures to formulate responses are as follow:

The Complaint Coordinator will be responsible for preparing the response which will consider

the complainants’ views about the process for settlement as well as provide a specific remedy.

The response may suggest an approach on how to settle the issues, or it may offer a preliminary

settlement.

Meeting may be coordinated which will serve as a forum for the complainant to present the

persons complaints, discussion amongst the complainant, the Complaint Coordinator,

member(s) of the GRC will follow. If a direct meeting is not possible, consider meeting with a

neutral third party serving as facilitator. The group would also discuss appropriate next steps

during this meeting. If the proposal is a settlement offer and it is accepted, the complaint is

resolved successfully and there is no need to proceed to the next step of selecting a resolution

approach. If the complainant is not happy with the response about a resolution process or

substance, the group should try to reach an agreement that would be mutually acceptable.

If the case is complex and a resolution time frame cannot be met, provide an interim response

facilitated through oral or written communication (best to the complainants preference) that

informs the person of the delay, explains the reasons, and offers a revised date for next steps.

Process of Selecting Select Grievance Resolution Approaches

A variety of Grievance Resolution Approach will be incorporated which will accommodate

differences in personal and cultural preferences. The grievance mechanism will offer a variety of

grievance resolution approaches and the complainant should have influence over which

approach to select. They approaches include the following:

Scenario 1: Where the GRC proposes a solution

This should be conducted as an Informal approach which will involve direct involvement of the

GRC or a representative with the complaint. The GRC will propose a solution and offers it to

the complainant. The GRC and community would jointly decide if the solution is acceptable and,

hence, share decision-making authority. This process can be facilitated if the GRC conducted an

initial assessment, and then make a settlement proposal that they hope the complainant will

accept. The proposal should be based on consistent standards and criteria so that similar

complaints receive similar remedies.


The following measures can help increase the acceptability of responses:

There should be a rationale for the decision and presentation of any data that will be used to

reach a conclusion (for example, value of land, crop, or animals; costs to repair a road).

There should be an opportunity for the complainant to verbally present his, her, or their case to

a GRC or representative. The representative should listen to and acknowledge the complainant’s

statement to help reach emotional closure and restore positive relations between the complainant

and the SEEFOR.

Timely delivery of a response and rapid restitution once a decision has been made.

Delivery of the GRC’s response in writing and, when appropriate, a visit by a representative

to explain the decision in person.

If the complainant rejects the proposal, the Scenario 2 may be used.

Scenario 2: Where the Community and the GRC decides to make the decision together.

This option involves the GRC representatives and complainants sharing the decision-making and

jointly engaging in a problem-solving approach to reach a resolution of the grievance by

themselves. The process may involve only the company and complainant, or may be facilitated

by a neutral third party without decision-making authority, such as a mediator.

This approach is likened to be the most accessible, natural, and unthreatening ways for

communities and Project team to resolve differences. With the potential to resolve perhaps 90

percent of all grievances, “decide together” should be the center of any grievance mechanism’s

resolution options. The complaints and the GRC representative however need to furnish

themselves in their communication skills, dialoguing and negotiating skills for ease in relating

with the people.

Scenario 3: Formal independent redress approach, such as arbitration using a neutral third

party.

This approach can be used when the GMC and the complainants are unable to resolve a

complaint themselves. The decision making will lean on the independent, neutral party. The

neutral party may be a trusted individual or a group in the community, a respected technical

expert, or an independent arbitrator. In a typical arbitration case, the parties engaging in the

process would decide if the decision is binding (the parties promise at the beginning of the


process to implement the intermediary’s decision) or non-binding (the intermediary’s decision is

a recommendation to the company and the community, and can be appealed in court or to some

higher authority).

Scenario 4: The company and community engage traditional and customary practices

Rights-based approach based on legal, contractual, local and customary ways of grievance

resolution which will be evaluated and incorporated into the system. All societies have internal

ways of handling their differences. The local people may decide to find succour in resolving the

disputes from their traditional or religious leaders. Therefore the GRC will inventory traditional,

religious and customary approaches for solving conflicts and consider how to adapt traditional,

religious and customary dispute- resolution mechanisms to deal with community-company

grievances. For this scenario, observers, testifiers, witnesses can be employed to verify the

fairness, and assure that agreements comply with widely accepted community values and norms.

Advisors and mediators can also be used which may include respected people in their

communities. Members of traditional communities often seek advice from respected or wise

members on how their differences can best be resolved. Disputants often ask for

recommendations that comply with community norms and restore harmonious relationships.
