Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
---|---|
Environmental Aspects | The project has substantial environmental benefit resulting from energy efficiency improvements. The potential adverse impacts of the project include soil erosion, increased dust and noise, and inappropriate storage of hazardous materials and wastes. The SIEE concluded that the potential adverse environmental impacts can be adequately mitigated by funding appropriate mitigation measures. |
Involuntary Resettlement | Zhalaite district heating subproject originally planned to acquire 1.1 ha of government owned land and 1,740 m2 of office and factory building demolision but land acquisition is no longer necessary as Zhalaite district heating subproject uses the land owned by the implementing agency. |

Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
During Project Design | Close coordination has been maintained with the IMAR Development and Reform Commission (DRC) and Finance Bureau (FB) in developing the Project. In addition, several other IMAR government departments have been consulted regarding the Project. Consultations have also been held with environmental non-government organizations. Surveys, including questionnaires, interviews and group discussions have been carried out with affected persons during the environmental and social safeguard reviews. Feedback from this consultation was used in Project design. Extensive stakeholder consultations have been undertaken during the preparation of the Problem Tree and the development of the Preliminary DMF with a range of stakeholders, including implementing agencies, representatives from consumer groups and local government officials. DMF workshops were undertaken in Wulanhaote on 24 January 2008, Chifeng City on 28 February 2008 and Hohot on 7 March 2008. The DMF workshops were attended by over 60 stakeholders. |
During Project Implementation | Within 9 months from the effective date, establish a complaints unit to receive and resolve grievances or act upon stakeholders reports or irregularities. The Unit shall (i) review and address grievances of project's stakeholders; and (ii) set the threshhold criteria and procedures for handling and proactively responding to grievances. |
