SFG3121 V18 Village Tsikhisdziri kindergarten (Mtskheta Municipality) Rehabilitation Sub-Project Environmental and Social Screening and Environmental Management Plan WORLD BANK FINANCED SECOND REGIONAL AND MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Tbilisi, Georgia Environmental Screening The Sub-project (SP) site is located in Eastern Georgia, at Mtskheta Municipality in the village Tsikhisdziri. Distance from Tbilisi to Mtskheta is 24 km and up to the village is 39 km. The SP envisages the rehabilitation of the existing old kindergarten building and arrangement of outdoor playing and recreation areas for children. The building to be rehabilitated was constructed in the 80-ies of past century and was designated for the Kindergarten-Daycare Center. In the following years the nonfunctional building got deteriorated. Its rehabilitation will greatly benefit the children as well as their parents. Up to the present there has not been any kindergarten functioning in the village (1800 residents). The rehabilitated building will be designed for 6 age groups composed of 140 children. The SP includes the works as follows: - Plastering and coloring/painting of the building; - Changing of building’s internal planning; - Renovating destroyed dividing brick walls and establishment of new gypsum-cardboard partitions; - Plastering and painting of brick walls; - Arranging internal water supply, electrical and sewage systems and installing the heating system; - Replacing old asbestos-containing roof sheets with new metallic til roof; - Arranging metallic hand-rails and balcony railings; - Arranging metal-plastic window frames and doors; - Arranging outdoor facilities – recreation zone and playground for children, parking lot and additional service entrance. The SP implementation duration is 3 months. (A) IMPACT IDENTIFICATION Has sub-project a tangible impact on The SP has a modest short term negative environmental the environment? impact. The SP site is located in the area with a transformed environment. The main impact on the environment will be during the construction phase, which includes the rehabilitation works of old building and arrangement of outdoor facilities. What are the significant beneficial The expected modest environmental and social impacts and adverse environmental effects are likely to be short term and typical for small to of sub-project? medium scale construction and/or rehabilitation works in modified landscape: noise, dust, vibration, and emissions from the operation of construction machinery; generation of construction and hazardous waste. The later impacts are related to the generation of domestic waste and wastewater from maintenance of the kindergarten. The building will not be equipped with any wastewater treatment facility, as there is a centralized municipal sewerage system in the Tsikhisdziri village to which the kindergarten will be connected. May the sub-project have any The long term social impact will be beneficial, as the significant impact on the local local community will be provided with a new communities and other affected comfortable building of kindergarten which will cause people? significant improvement of the conditions for children and teachers. Up to the present there has not been any kindergarten functioning in the village (1800 residents). The rehabilitated building will be designed for 6 age groups composed of 140 children. The SP is expected to have a long-term positive social impact through improving living conditions of the local population. Positive impact related to job opportunities, especially for teachers, is expected as after opening of rehabilitated kindergarten 10 persons will start to work there as a stuff. Recreation zone and playground for children will be arranged in the yard. Negative impacts are short-term and limited to the construction site. They are related to the possible disturbance described above. No new land take and relocation are expected. The land plot on which building is located is registered in the Public Register as municipal property. As the building to be rehabilitated in Village Tsikhisdziri has been nonfunctional for years, SP will not result in relocation of kindergarten and will not reduce people’s access to site of common public use. No impacts are envisaged on adjacent agricultural lands. (B) MITIGATION MEASURES Were there any alternatives to the Given that the SP envisages the rehabilitation of an old sub-project design considered? building of existing kindergarten, no alternatives have been considered. What types of mitigation measures The expected negative impacts of the construction phase are proposed? can be easily mitigated. The contractor will be responsible for the waste disposal at the permitted location, use the quarry materials from the licensed quarries only, prevent water and soil from pollution (fuel spills due to equipment failure, concrete spills etc.), avoid disturbance of population (noise, dust, emissions) through proper work/supplies scheduling, good maintenance of the construction machinery, etc. Asbestos-containing roof sheets will be demounted and disposed following procedures described in the EMP and in accordance with written agreement with the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection, and the Solid Waste Management Company of Georgia Ltd. What lessons from the previous MDF has vast experience in medium and large scale similar projects have been buildings’ rehabilitation and construction projects incorporated into the sub-project financed by various donor organizations. Based on design? lessons learned from previous similar projects, design envisages not only the rehabilitation of old building but also arrangement of a playground, a recreational area and a parking lot around it. Have concerned communities been The SP has been developed by Mtskheta Municipality in involved and have their interests consultation with the Sakrebulo, as a response to the and knowledge been adequately current situation. taken into consideration in sub- project preparation? Local population of the Tsikhisdziri was consulted by Mtskheta Municipality and Sakrebulo and their interests have been taken into consideration in SP preparation. As a result of consultation process, rehabilitation of old building of existing kindergarten, which currently is not functioning, has been selected by local community as a priority, taking into consideration the fact that there is no other kindergarten in the village. Draft EMP was disclosed on the web-site of MDF. Hard copies of the document was made available at the MDF and Mtskheta municipality. Announcement on the public consultation meeting was placed on public information board in the administration building of Mtskheta municipality. MDF and local municipality organized stakeholder consultation meeting on 12th of March 2015.
