The World Bank requires environmental assessment (EA) of projects proposed for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and sustainable, and thus improve decision making (OP 4.01, January 1999). The Bank favors preventive measures over mitigatory or compensatory measures, whenever feasible. The Republic of Azerbaijan has requested a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development toward the cost of the proposed Judicial Services and Smart Infrastructure Project (JSSIP). The objective of the project is to scale up the delivery of key judicial services, modernize the associated infrastructure, and thereby improve citizen access to and satisfaction with the justice system. The Project will consist of three components: Component A: Improved delivery of judicial services; Component B: Expansion and Modernization of Justice Infrastructure; Component C: Capacity Building and Sustainability. The objective of Component A is to improve and scale up access to key judicial services for citizens, businesses and other users, and improve the justice system’s ability to deliver these services. Key judicial services will be modernized and scaled up across Azerbaijan. These include free legal aid for the poor and vulnerable; expanding e-services such as electronic case management, e-filing, e-notary system; and scaling up measures to improve efficiency and transparency, and reduce opportunities for corruption – e.g. through electronic document management, audio-video recording of court proceedings, and video conferencing. The objective of Component B is to expand and modernize the physical and ICT infrastructure so as to improve delivery of judicial services. It will finance core justice sector physical infrastructure at [thirteen] separate locations across the country. These comprise (a) construction of five modern court complexes in each of Azerbaijan’s four largest urban centers (Baku, Gandja, Sumgait and Shirvan), each envisaged to house several courts; (b) three modern court houses to complete the physical justice infrastructure in the high-caseload capital urban area, such as Narimanov, Surakhani and Khatai districts of Baku city ; (c) three modern court houses in more distant locations serving a mix of rural, urban and remote areas and areas with significant minority populations (Absheron, Qusar and Masalli District Courts), (d) construction of the MOJ Data Center to house the envisaged core justice ICT infrastructure and IT Department and (e) providing basic sector disaster recovery capability by rehabilitating and upgrading the MOJ Backup Center. In addition to the above physical infrastructure, Component B will also finance furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) for the physical facilities as well as the basic ICT infrastructure for the sector, such as a Wide Area Network (WAN), fiber-optic cabling, Data Centers, Disaster Recovery Center, and ICT management systems. Component C will finance strengthening of MOJ and justice sector capacity and sustainability. Activities include (a) strengthening the MOJ ICT, M&E and statistical capacity; (b) policy and strategy capacity; (c) strengthening the training capacity and quality of the Judicial Academy and improving the professionalism of judges, judicial staff and MOJ staff; and (d) project implementation, project M&E and results monitoring. The activities proposed to be implemented under the Component B of the JSSIP are similar to those financed by the current Judicial Modernization Project (JMP) and the associated Additional Financing. They include construction courthouses, court complexes and rehabilitation of the other physical infrastructure. The implementation of Component B will be associated with minor environmental impacts which are expected to occur during construction activities. There are no environmental issues associated with Components A and C which provide technical assistance, training, public information services and office equipment. The project has been assigned World Bank environmental category B, since it involves only moderate environmental impacts that can be managed during implementation of the project. This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) provides mitigation plans and monitoring plans to ensure appropriate attention to environmental and social safeguards issues, and tracking progress or problems in their management. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The World Bank requires environmental assessment (EA) of projects proposed for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and sustainable, and thus improve decision making (OP 4.01, January 1999). EA is a process whose breadth, depth, and type of analysis depend on the nature, scale, and potential environmental impact of the proposed project. EA evaluates a project's potential environmental risks and impacts in its area of influence; examines project alternatives; identifies ways of improving project selection, siting, planning, design, and implementation by preventing, minimizing, mitigating, or compensating for adverse environmental impacts and enhancing positive impacts; and includes the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts throughout project implementation. The Bank favors preventive measures over mitigatory or compensatory measures, whenever feasible. EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (involuntary resettlement, indigenous peoples, and cultural property); and trans- boundary and global environmental aspects. It also takes into account the variations in project and country conditions; the findings of country environmental studies; national environmental action plans; the country's overall policy framework, national legislation, and institutional capabilities related to the environment and social aspects; and obligations of the country, pertaining to project activities, under relevant international environmental treaties and agreements. The Bank does not finance project activities that would contravene such country obligations, as identified during the EA. Key considerations to be taken into account during the EA process include: Generic initial screening to determine appropriate environmental assessment; Compliance with existing environmental regulations in Azerbaijan; Linkages with social assessment; Analysis of alternatives; Public participation and consultation with affected people and organizations; and Disclosure of information. B.1 Environmental Legislation and Procedures Activities carried out under the project will conform to current laws in Azerbaijan and sound environmental principles. In general construction and building renovation activities will not contribute to the permanent degradation of the physical and human environment. Environmental protection in Azerbaijan is governed by the Law on Environment Protection (1999). The Law establishes the main environmental protection principles, and the rights and obligations of the State, public associations and citizens regarding environmental protection. It establishes the requirements for the preparation of environmental impact assessments, environmental quality standards and requirements for permitting the activities that affect the environment, prevention and reduction of environmental pollution, environmental monitoring and control, the role of the public and sanctions imposed on law violators. Other laws governing specific issues such as sanitary-epidemiological welfare, land reform, energy, health, water, forests, cadastre and land use, industrial and domestic wastes, ecological safety, water supply and wastewater, atmospheric protection and specially protected areas have been adopted since 1992. In addition, a large number (some 75+) of Decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers have been issued to help interpret the body of environmental legislation and related Presidential Degrees and Orders. According to Article 42 of the Law on Environmental protection, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan (MENR) is the competent authority for reviewing the EIA request and documentation prepared by independent experts hired by the project developer prior to initiation of a new investment project. Other key laws forming the legal basis for EIA are the Law on Ecological Safety (1999) and the Provision on the Process of Environmental Impact Assessment in Azerbaijan (1996). The EIA application may be submitted to the head office of the MOE or to a local branch office. In the process of reviewing the EIA application the MOE evaluates the following criteria:  Whether the proposed project envisions new technologies;  The volumes and complexity of the proposed processes or technologies;  The expected environmental consequences;  Whether the proposed project would create significant changes for the local population; and  Public response to the proposal. B.2 Construction standards and regulations In Azerbaijan, engineering survey, design and construction standards and regulations are governed by the State Construction Committee. Rules of conducting supervision and control procedures by the State Construction Committee had been approved by the Cabinet of Ministers in 2003. Subject to the State Construction Committee regulations all construction operations are to be carried out with due regard to the environmental requirements. Following the existing construction rules, construction or renovation works are to be carried out on the basis of the approved project (design) documents only. The State Construction Committee issues special licenses to conduct engineering survey and design operations (no license is required for construction operations). The project design documents include descriptions of proposed construction and related activities together with applications for permits from relevant authorities for geological studies of soil characteristics, fire safety, public health, utilities (gas, water, electricity, and telecommunications) and environmental assessment. The relevant authorities conduct inspections during construction to monitor compliance with the permits, and may issue significant fines if violations are found. Component B under JSSIP Expansion and Modernization of Justice Infrastructure s includes construction of new courthouses on the sites of state-owned land in urban centers and in the districts of the country, namely Baku, Gandja, Sumgait and Shirvan cities. The selection of specific courthouses has been made in accordance with MOJ’s assessment of the needs for improved judicial services during the preparation of the project. The other project components have no environmental impact, apart from the general very positive impact that modernization of the judicial system would contribute to a more efficient and transparent practice of rule of law, which is a necessary element for effective environmental regulatory compliance. The short-term negative environmental impacts, which inevitably occur during construction works, will be minimized by proper planning and application of preventive measures, and will be mitigated by restorative actions after the civil works are completed. Use of construction materials, which are hazardous to human health (e.g., asbestos), will not be permitted, consistent with Azeri regulations. The main environmental risks for the project are: During renovation and construction of the facilities:  Dust raised from the roads in the construction sites and from material carrying trucks  Waste water from construction/renovation sites  Disposal of solid wastes  Use of materials that may damage health (i.e. heavy-metal (lead) containing paints, asbestos-cement tiles, pipes, copper pipes, inflammable and toxic materials etc.)  Quarries  Construction site protection activities  Protection of habitats  Restoration of lands damaged by excavation  Noise generated by the construction machinery  Traffic Disruption During operation of the facilities:  Air pollution due to heating  Solid wastes disposal  Waste water disposal The environmental mitigation and monitoring plans can be prepared using the EMP Checklist for Construction or Rehabilitation attached at Annex __ An example of a courthouse project design together with applications for permits is attached as Annex __. The World Bank's Safeguard Policy 'Physical Cultural Resources' OP 4.11 is triggered to avoid any disturbance to the sites which may represent historical value, and to any historical monuments located on or in the vicinity of the Project construction areas. Initial assessment of the historical significance of a site proposed for court houses construction, is undertaken as part of the preparation of the site-specific EMP, and allows for a decision to be taken on the acceptability of the proposed site for the Project purposes. Archaeological findings at construction sites within the project framework are not anticipated, because historical monuments discovered to date are located away from the Project area. Under national law, the works require a clearance certificate from the Archaeological department, and this department will be kept informed of any potential findings from the construction site, for subsequent action. The Contractor must immediately stop work and inform the local authorities and the Ministry of Justice PIU if any historical monument or archaeological findings are discovered. Local authorities and Ministry of Justice should, in their turn, report to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography. Construction works can only be resumed after the findings are properly treated and adequate official recommendation of the above bodies are issued. If necessary, the Project design can be revised accordingly or the construction site can be moved to another place. During preparation of the original project consultations were held with the relevant departments of MOJ, responsible for facilities management and construction, and with the Ministry of Environment Department of Environmental Expertise (MENR/DEE) to define and clarify the appropriate content of the Environmental Management Plan. All site-specific EMPs will be duly disclosed and discussed with involved stakeholders, including executive authorities of the project areas and other relevant organizations/communities. The implementing agency under the project is the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) through the Project Implementation Unit of the Judicial Modernization Project (established under Minister of Justice decree dated January 15, 2008).The multi-disciplinary PIU-JMP will be supported through the provision of experts, training and logistics in accordance with fully integrated good practice PIU model of Bank projects. The JMP-PIU is responsible for ensuring adequate budget and procurement of goods, works and services for implementation of the EMP mitigation and monitoring measures and for supervision. Specifically, the PIU-JMP civil engineers and technical supervisors will ensure that firms contracted to carry out works for all new construction and renovations of existing buildings obtain permits and clearances as required per Azerbaijan national regulations and will ensure that contractors properly implemented all mitigation measures envisaged in site specific EMPs for each construction site. Budget for implementation and monitoring of the EMP is provided under component B of the Project. Implementation of specific mitigation measures at the works contract level will be funded as part of works contract and implemented by the firm selected to perform the works.
