Specifically, the proposed operation will increase service coverage for water supply, sanitation, and wastewater treatment. This Environmental Assessment (EA) document evaluated impacts and suggests mitigation measures in the following areas : storm water drainage; air quality; noise levels; erosion; topography; liquid and solid waste management; construction waste disposal; existing routing and distribution of vehicular traffic; soil and vegetation degradation; flora and fauna; surface and groundwater quality; occupational health and safety; drinking water sources; availability of sanitation facilities for construction workers to prevent water and sanitation related health problems; trucks properly equipped (plastic cover) to carry dirt from excavation and sand and gravel to avoid spilling and dust propagation; archeological structures, cultural property and historic monuments findings; and finally, organize capacity building community campaigns to educate project affected peoples (PAPs) and construction workers on environmental good practices.  Réduire
