SFG3118 V1 Sub-Project: Rehabilitation of Roads, Foot Paths and Storm water Drain System of Central Park and Lake "Tsivi" in Tskaltubo Town Environmental Management Plan WORLD BANK FINANCED SECOND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Environmental Screening and Classification The proposed sub-project (SP) envisages rehabilitation of existing infrastructure to improve the appearance of the town and ensure good conditions for tourism development. The SP includes:  Rehabilitation storm-water drainage system (underground pipe network, which drains storm-water from central park area - of 6 994 m length) of the central part of the Park;  Rehabilitation of drainage system on the “Tsivi Tba� (Cold Lake’s) perimeter (of 114 m length),  Rehabilitation of the roads in the park;  Arrangement of Pedestrian pathways of Tskaltubo Town’s central Park (18 076 m length).  Arrangement of the bicycle and pedestrian paths (of 2 131 m length). The works include restoring of the path paving, repairs of the drainage and arranging of the bicycle path. The park alleys will be rehabilitated in accordance to the requirements of the landscape architects, but the alignment will follows in general existing trails. The cross section width of the different park alleys are as follows: Tracking trail for pedestrians - 4.00 – 8.00 m Tracking trail for pedestrians and bicycles - 6.00 – 9.00 m Service roads - 6.00 – 9.00 m plus sidewalk of minimum 1.50 m The pavement of the park alleys will be as follows depending on the designation of the alley: Tracking trail for pedestrian: 80 mm asphalt course; 150 mm crushed aggregate base or 100 mm decorative crushed stone; 150 mm crushed aggregate base; Tracking trail for pedestrian 120 mm concrete block (stone) paving and for bicycle 50 mm sand / cement bedding 150 mm crushed aggregate base The design for Rehabilitation of Storm Water Drainage in the Central park of city Tskaltubo and on the “Tsivi Tba� (Cold Lake’s) perimeter envisages arrangement of hillside channels to protect future recreational area around the „Cold Lake“ from flooding. Channel slopes towards certain direction collect rainwater at nodal spots and discharge into the lake. Bottom rainwater chambers with singe or two grids as well as outflow pipes will be arranged at the discharge point. Channels will be arranged around the whole „Cold Lake“ perimeter and consist of 4 sectors with 9 outflows and the total length is 835m. The storm water drainage system in the middle of the central park will be totally remediated and separated from the rest (i.e. industrial, fecal, balneological site and etc.) waste water system. Pipeline system and rainwater chamber disposition should provide surface water drainage and discharge into the Tskaltubo River. Pipe diameters will vary from 300mm to 1400. Design pipes from d=300 to 600mm are corrugated. The storm waters collected into these drainage systems of Central park and “Tsivi Tba� (Cold Lake’s) will finally be discharged in the River Tskaltubosckali. Volumes of Main Civil Works:  Crushed-rock - 89 635 sq. m;  Liquid bitumen - 27,89 t;  Fine grained asphalt concrete paving - 39 838 sq. m;  Concrete paving - 10 305 sq. m;  Curb - 8,242 m;  Chutes compatible with curb - 1 810 cu. m;  Bicycle path paving (Nano technology) - 3,492 sq. m;  Polypropylene crimped pipes (of various diameter) - 5 338 m;  Glass reinforced plastic pipes (of various diameter) 390 m;  Inlet wells - 352 pieces;  Cast iron lattice - 358 pieces;  Basalt slabs - 2,006 sq. m;  Basalt slabs - 11,635 sq. m;  Concrete ditch - 841 m (A) IMPACT IDENTIFICATION Has the subproject a tangible impact on the The SP has tangible positive social impact. environment? What are the significant beneficial and adverse The SP has a long term positive impact on the environmental effects of the subproject? environment through improving living and transportation conditions of the local population. It will decrease existing negative impacts on community, such as dust, emissions, vibration and noise. The expected negative environmental and social impacts are likely to be short term and typical for small to medium scale rehabilitation works in urban landscape: noise, dust, vibration, and emissions from the operation of construction machinery; generation of construction waste; disruption of traffic and pedestrian access. Does the subproject have any significant potential No new land take and resettlement are expected. impact on the local or affected communities? The long term positive social impact will be beneficial (improvement of local population living conditions and growth of tourist flow, Attraction of private sector investment in tourism infrastructure (hotels, bars, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, etc.). Negative impacts are short term and limited to the construction site. They are related to the possible disturbance described above. What impact has the subproject on the human The long term impact of the improved health? transportation conditions of the town will be beneficial for the residents and guests of Tskaltubo. Value of respiratory diseases will decrease. Minor negative impacts are related to dust, emissions, noise and vibration during construction period. (B) MITIGATION MEASURES What alternatives to the subproject design have Given that the subproject envisages rehabilitation been considered and what mitigation measures are of the existing infrastructure, no alternatives have proposed? been considered. The expected negative impacts of the construction phase can be easily mitigated by demarcation of the construction site, traffic management, good maintenance of the construction machinery, observance of the established working hours, and well organized disposal of waste to the formally agreed sites.

Tskaltubo is rich with hydro resources, the main artery of which is the river Rioni with its tributaries – rivers Tskaltubo and Gubistskali. Ground waters play immense role in formation of the engineering-geological conditions of the survey area. Here several aqueous horizons and complexes are distinguished. Tskaltubo is a resort, with focus on balneotherapy for circulatory, nervous, musculo- skeletal, gynecological and skin diseases, but since the 1970s its repertoire has included "speleotherapy", in which the cool dust-free environment of local caves is said to benefit pulmonary diseases (including bronchial asthma). Number of the Tskaltubo Municipality population as of 2002-2006 is rather stable, it has not significantly decreased, just by 0.9%, and according to the available data amounts to 71381 (females - 37696; males -34193). By economic activity, major part of the employed population is occupied in the following sectors: agriculture, hunting and forestry (87.8%). In general, the number of population employed during the period of 2002-2006 has negligibly increased. Locations and Average distance of transportation of local construction materials will be around 20 distance for material km. sourcing, especially Water and power supply will be available at the construction site from the municipal aggregates, water, water and power supply systems. stones?
