Kyrgyz Republic: New Water Intake to the City of Osh
The activity under the facility will support the development of an additional water intake for the city of Osh. Existing intake was completed in September 2016 under the Emergency Assistance for Recovery and Reconstruction project, but was not enough to cope with the needed demand in clean and uninterrupted water supply during rainy season and related high water turbidity. The new water unit will be located upstream of the existing one, in a section of the river that will not be affected by the torrential rains that cause the water turbidity on the existing intake, provide 400,000 people with access to safe, clean and reliable water supply. The activity will improve the development impact and sustainability of the project.

| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | An environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) have been prepared for the facility in accordance with ADB's Safeguards Policy Statement 2009 (ADB SPS 2009) to guide the preparation of environmental assessment reports (i.e., initial environmental examination (IEE)). Activity 5 subgrant of the project covering the New Water Intake and water mains to the City of Osh is category B for environment, this categorization is based mainly on the fact that the project will likely have localized and site-specific impacts to physical and biological characteristics of the environment and that most of the impacts to the human environment can be adequately managed or mitigated by the management plans provided by this report. Public consultations are planned to be conducted in Q3 2022, and the findings added to the IEE. Project impacts during construction are expected to be site-specific and temporary and related to the construction activities. Expected impacts include, among others, noise, dust, and exhaust emissions from equipment and construction vehicles, impacts on the river and surface water, waste management, occupational health and safety, community health and safety, construction traffic. During operation phase, potential impacts are related to limited local capacity to maintain functionality of the components, with expected positive impacts due to the rehabilitation works. Adequate mitigation measures are included as part of the assessment, and will be implemented through, the environmental management plan (EMP) and site-specific environmental management plans (SEMP). |
| Involuntary Resettlement | A land acquisition and resettlement framework has been prepared for the facility subsequent activities in accordance with the SPS. The SEFF will include consulting services, implementation and upgrading or rehabilitation works within existing facilities. They are expected to involve physical and economic displacement. For the fifth, minor land acquisition and involuntary resettlement is envisaged, but no household will experience severe impact on their livelihood and no household was found to belong to vulnerable groups. |
