2. IEE for HWMPs
2.1 Importance of IEE
Any HWMP, if not properly designed and
operated, can result in very significant adverse environmental impacts, even
for very small projects employing only a few people. Hence, submittal of an
IEE is required for all commercial HWMPs projects, regardless of size.
Assuming full-scale will be needed, the IEE should include preparation of
the Work Plan for the full-scale EIA including the tentative detailed Table of
Contents for the final EIA report.
2.2 Basic Planning Requirements
Basic guidelines for planning and
conducting the IEE for a project are given in the Primary Manual. For
HWMP/EIA, the SEIs will usually include the following:
(i) Delineation and quantification of wastes can be expected to be
discharged from the project, both for (a) conditions assuming the
project control plan is properly designed and operated, and (b)
conditions in event of breakdown in operation of the control facilities.
(ii) Delineation and quantification of all beneficial uses of land/water/air
in the project vicinity which could be affected by the plant discharges
under conditions as noted in (i), and delineation of these in an
appropriate Environmental Base Map.
(iii) Need for design of an effective control system with matching O&M
skills.
(iv) Need for incorporating into the project provisions for ensuring
delivery of HW inputs to the plant (no dumping elsewhere to avoid
costs), and evaluation of affordability of charges to the interested
customers.
(v) Preparation of an effective Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
and Environmental Management Office (EMO) including
implementation of competent monitoring, especially of the plant
operations phase and for corrections of any inadequacies discovered
by the monitoring.
