1 Practicing Core EIA Skills & Getting Acquainted with the Small-Scale Guidelines: A Virtual Field Visit USAID Staff Environmental Training Pretoria May 2009
2 Key reference for this exercise: The Small-Scale Guidelines Available at Sector coverage: Agriculture & Irrigation CBNRM Construction Ecotourism Energy Sources for Development Fisheries and Aquaculture Forest Management, Plantations & Agroforestry Healthcare Waste Housing Humanitarian Response & Disaster Assistance Livestock Micro & Small Enterprises (multiple sectors) Pest Management: IPM Pest Management: Safer Pesticide Use Rural Roads Small Health Facilities (in review draft) Schools (in review draft) Water Supply and Sanitation Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 2
3 Organization Chapter outline Brief description of the sector Potential environmental impacts of development programs in the sector and their causes Guidelines for sector program design Environmental mitigation and monitoring Annotated resources and references Key source of information for identifying potential env impacts. (In design phase, prior to a field visit, etc. ) In table format designed for easy use Link to extended resources via on-line bibliographies! Not a design manual. Focused specifically on ESDM. Experience in the technical aspects of project design is assumed. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 3
4 Virtual Field Visit: Scenario & objectives Scenario A new primary school has been constructed in under-developed ABC town, replacing an inadequate previous structure However, little attention was paid to environmental soundness & corrective measures may be required. The old school Objectives: Identify environmental issues of concern Propose corrective measures Using the impact evaluation process presented in the last session With reference to the impacts and mitigation guidance in the Small Scale Guidelines. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 4
5 About the case Environmental Context: West African Humid Tropics Based on real facilities in a real town, but a number of details changed for study purposes Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 5
6 Basic orientation: West African Humid Tropics Climate: Annual min/max temp: 18C-38C. Avg humidity: 50-80%. 2 rainy seasons; rainfall cm/year; intense storms possible. Geography: Usually gently rolling. Very low earthquake risk Diseases: Malaria and a wide variety of tropical diseases are serious threats to public health. Culture 60% Christian/30% Muslim/10% traditional; traditional beliefs widely practiced. High linguistic and tribal diversity. Some groups matrilineal.. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 6
7 Part 1 DESK PREPARATION: WHAT DO WE NEED TO EXAMINE IN THE FIELD? Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 7
8 How can design and management of day schools be environmentally UNsound? Adverse impacts OF the school ON the environment Surface and groundwater contamination; spread of pathogens and disease vectors. (from inadequate/poorly managed latrines, waste, drainage.) Erosion (from inadequate/poorly managed drainage) Local deforestation (from inadequate/poorly managed latrines, waste, drainage.) Failure to design & site responsive to local environmental conditions Too noisy poor learning Poor thermal perfomance (too hot) poor learning Too dusty student illness, poor learning High pathogen, disease vector concentrations student illness Structural failure (from foreseeable storm, pests, quake) tragedy Failure to provide safe & adequate water supply Poor learning, student illness Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 8
9 So what are the key aspects of the baseline situation to examine?! as the new school is already built, it has become part of the baseline. We need to include relevant elements of school design, siting, operations, etc. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 9

11 ABC Town Map & Profile XYZ River Rail line Rail bridge & cable ferry Rail yard market Transport yard Under-developed district capital (no utilities) Unpaved road; rail line almost nonfunctional Semideciduous tropical forest, quickly being cleared for agriculture 0.8km School site market Clinic Town boreholes Regional Capital (70km/2-5 hrs) Pop ~ 5000 Market, gov t, educational center (secondary school) Economy: smallholder agric, trading, Avg income: $4 day/ppp basis Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 11
12 ABC is a significant market center Retail and wholesale. Purchase point for agricultural goods being taken to the regional capital Distribution center for smaller rural traders Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 12
13 Sanitation is a problem The market generates large amounts of waste, which is poorly managed. Observed waste piles (pictured) are noted on the map (red dots). Public latrines are simple pit & too few. Some households have private latrines. A few of the wealthiest have bucket-flush toilets and septic tanks/soakaways. 4 Town boreholes are located centrally and are the only source of safe water. Most households use shallow wells. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 13
14 ABC lies on a key transit route Rail station Road is poor, but is a key conduit for agricultural goods. Rail service is likewise poor, but supports transport of heavy/bulky goods (e.g. cement) Ferry crossing; rail bridge at far left Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 14
15 Significant deforestation Area receives significant inmigration for agricultural land. Combined with commercial logging, forest is receding quickly. Local weather is changing; severe ground winds more frequent. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 15
16 The new school View from road, rail line lies behind Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 16
17 School site plan Latrines Canteen Well Classroom blocks Playing field 100m Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 17
18 School facilities Canteen staff in the canteen. (Note 3-stone fire at left.) Unimproved latrine block. Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 18
19 School facilities Detail of roof construction. School well. (shallow hand-dug; note cover and lock) Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 19
20 Part 3 BACK AT THE OFFICE Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 20
21 Back at the office... Based on your field observations, characterize the most relevant elements of the baseline situation On this basis, decide which of the potential adverse impacts and other potential ESDM failures are real and present serious concerns. Suggestion corrective measures (mitigation) to address these issues. Key reference: Schools chapter of the Small Scale Guidelines Core EIA Skills: Virtual Field Visit 21
