Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Capacity Development for Prevention and Control of Site Contamination:(Cost $22.14 M) Component 2: Cleanup Demonstrations of Sites Contaminated with POPs and Other Hazardous Chemicals:(Cost $49.70 M) Component 3: Project Management:(Cost $3.16 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The overall progress is still somewhat behind schedule due to challenges of selecting suitable POPs contaminated sites to participate in the GEF project. Two of the six planned demonstration sites have now completed soil excavation (remediation is ongoing), one is under preparation of remediation plan, and one is dropped from the project. Another two demonstration sites has been provisionally identified by FECO. Liaoning will try to identify another site to replace the dropped site. The project continues to make progress in (a) developing national technical guidelines that will complement implementation of China’s Soil Action Plan and the newly issued Law on Soil Pollution Prevention and Control for addressing soil pollution issues, (b) completing systematic training materials for government officials and contaminated site cleanup practitioners and site 6/20/2019 Page 1 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report China Contaminated Site Management Project (P145533) owners, (c) carrying out studies on soil/groundwater pollution prevention, and (d) developing green finance options for contaminated site remediation and pollution prevention through circular economy approach in Chongqing.
