(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 conditions of the local population. Arrangement of new infra structure will Improve the tourist services of the city and attract the tourists, which will improve quality of life and optimize the social and economic development. The expected negative environmental and social impacts are likely to be short term and typical for small to medium scale rehabilitation works: 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 The long term positive social impact will be impact on the local or affected communities? beneficial. Temporary positive impacts include short-term employment of local population in construction activities and increased earnings in services in the vicinity of the construction sites. 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.) employment of local population). 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 tourist health? services will improve quality of life and optimize the social development. Minor negative impacts are related to dust, emissions, noise and vibration during construction period. (B) MITIGATION MEASURES What alternatives to the subproject design have To improve the tourist services in Tskaltubo and been considered and what mitigation measures are make the town more comfortable and attractive proposed? for tourists several alternatives have been considered Under the SP. 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. What lessons from the previous similar subprojects N/A have been incorporated into the project design? Have concerned communities been involved and Tskaltubo population was informed about the have their interests and knowledge been adequately upcoming urban regeneration plans in a meeting taken into consideration in subproject preparation? held in Tskaltubo Governor’s office in town Tskaltubo (05.06.2012) and generated positive reaction of the beneficiary community. Draft EMP was disclosed on the web-site of MDF. Hard copies of the document was available at the MDF and Tskaltubo municipality governance. Draft EMP was discussed on the public consultation meeting on August 20, 2012.

Municipal Property Description of Tskaltubo is the town located in Western Georgia, Imereti Region. geographic, physical, Tskaltubo - the town in Georgia, an administrative center of Tskaltubo Municipality is biological, geological, located on the bank of the river Tskaltubostskali, at 120 m altitude above the sea level. hydrographic and It was established as the town in 1959 with the population of 16.8 thousand (as of socio-economic 2002). It is well known as the balneotherapeutic health resort. Tskaltubo is located at 10 context km distance from Kutaisi, and at 250 km distance from the Tbilisi City. According to the geotechnical zoning, the survey area is within the bounds of the Transcaucasian intermountain plain western molassic submersion zone (the Rioni intermountain trough). 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, gynaecological 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 km. distance for material Water and power supply will be available at the construction site from the municipal sourcing, especially water and power supply systems. aggregates, water, stones? Some of excavated material will be backfilled and some additional material will be delivered from the licensed borrowing sites – estimated distance 5-10 km. LEGISLATION Identify national & The subproject has been classified as low risk Category B according to the WB policies local legislation & and the EMF. Tskaltubo municipal authority approved the SP. Georgian legislation does not require any type of environmental review, approval, or permits that apply to project activity permitting for the SP. Though according to the national regulatory system, (i) works contractor must be licensed, (ii) construction materials must be obtained from licensed providers, (iii) if contractor wishes to open quarries or extract material from river bed (rather than purchasing these materials from other providers), then the contractor must obtain licenses for extraction, (iv) disposal of the construction waste into a landfill or permanent placement of access inert material generated in the course of earth works in a selected location must be approved by local (municipal) governing bodies in written. GOST and SNIP norms must be adhered. Licenses for extraction of inert material is not required because contractor is purchasing inert material (sand) from external supplier.
