Khashuri Stadium Rehabilitation (Khashuri Municipality) Environmental and Social Screening and Environmental Management Plan WORLD BANK FINANCED SECOND REGIONAL AND MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Tbilisi, Georgia August 2019 Environmental Screening The sub-project (SP) envisages rehabilitation of stadium in town Khashuri. SP site with the cadastral code 69.08.53.023 (registered as ownership of Khashuri Municipality Self- government) is located in the central part of the city nearby the railway road. The stadium is neighboring river Suramula, local roads, and private houses as well. The stadium consists of amortized and damaged playground as well we two amortized tribunes on the west and east. As a result of river Suramula flooding in 2011, the playground with its drainage system have been damaged. Considering this, to prevent flooding again, the rehabilitated playground and the tribunes will be built 0.95 meters higher. According to the SP, the rehabilitated playground area will be 68X105 meters with the tribunes for 2011 spectators. Inner area will be 7140 m2; distance between football doors to the fence - 6 meters. The total fenced area of the stadium is 9360 m2. The artificial grass cover of the playground will have drainage lines. At the east of the stadium parking area, parking lot will be provided for 54 cars. Nearby the parking area, mini recreation zone will be arranged with pathways for the people before entering the tribunes. At the South, another parking will be arranged for 50 VIP parking places, for 2 buses and 3 places for people with disabilities. The stadium will have independent entrances for VIP guests, media and people with disabilities. As stated in the attached LSG letter, the registration process is currently ongoing of the area where the parking will be arranged, as the municipal property. At the tribunes’ areas three-storied buildings will be arranged. On the first floor, will be the following: 2 dressing rooms with showers and toilets, guards’ room, conference hall, doctor’s room, first aid room, interview’s space, toilets for men, women and people with disabilities. The second floor of the building will have working room for media, platform for cameras and toilets. The third floor will serve security officers, internet servers and toilets for VIP spectators. The stadium will be connected to the central water supply, sewage and power supply system of the city Khashuri. Besides, two boilers will be arranged in the special room for hot water supply and for heating system. Additional generator will arranged as well for stadium lighting in case the power supply is stopped. Surface water collectors will be arranged in three different parts of the stadium: at the north, east and west (near tribunes). (A) IMPACT IDENTIFICATION Has sub-project a tangible impact on The SP will have a modest negative environmental the environment? impact. The main impact will be related to the construction phase, which includes rehabilitation of existing old playground, installation of water supply, sewerage, power supply, ventilation, heating systems. What are the significant beneficial The long term social impact will be beneficial as local and adverse environmental effects community will be provided with new well design and of sub-project? comfortable stadium which is expected to be used for various levels of the championships, sport events, team practice sessions and the health improvement exercises. The expected negative environmental impact will have short-term character and will be typical for small-scale construction works in modified landscape: noise, dust, vibration, and emissions from the operation of construction machinery; generation of construction waste. The later impacts are related to the maintenance of the stadiums. The SP is located in the area with modified environment. Therefore the impact is transitory and insignificant (noise, emissions, construction waste, temporary disturbance of traffic and access, etc.). In operation phase proper management of generated solid waste should be ensured to reduce impact on the environment. May the sub-project have any The SP is expected to have a long-term positive social significant impact on the local impact through developing sports activities, engage local communities and other affected population especially local youth in sport events and people? support healthy life. Also, during construction works and in the process of the above-mentioned playgrounds operation, limited and temporary positive impact related to job opportunities for construction workers is expected. It will contribute to economic recovery. Rehabilitation of the above-mentioned stadium will have instant benefits for beneficiary with Improved local infrastructure. The stadium of city Khashuri is an asset of the Khashuri Municipality. The land plots are registered as municipal property. (Annex 1). With the described above, the sub-project is not characterized with any kind of negative social impact. (B) MITIGATION MEASURES Were there any alternatives to the Due to the fact that the SP envisages rehabilitation and sub-project design considered? reconstruction of the existing stadium, no important alternatives have been considered. What types of mitigation measures The expected negative impacts of the construction are proposed? phase can be easily mitigated. The contractor will be responsible for the waste disposal at the permitted location, use the quarry materials from the licensed quarries only or obtain materials only from licensed providers, prevent water and soil from pollution (fuel spills due to equipment failure, concrete spills etc.,), avoid disturbance of population (noise, dust, emissions) through proper work/supplies scheduling, good maintenance of the construction machinery, and fulfill all the environmental obligations according to either Georgina legislation or WB policy.

Following questions were asked: Questions / remarks Answers and comments How will the playground be covered? As mentioned in the presentation, the playground will be covered with artificial grass and drainage channels will be installed as well Initially, we requested the artificial grass There are standards to which the stadium is in compliance cover because the natural grass is quite hard with. As you know, specific size stadiums have specific to sustain in our climate However, the requirements. Thanks a lot for your insightful comment Georgian Football Federation announced and we will make sure to notify those in charge. recently that they will no longer hold important matches on a stadium with artificial grass cover. Thus, the stadium in question will be unsuitable for Municipality- wide or more important football events. Tribunes for only 2000 people is very little. It would indeed be better to have a bigger stadium, but We used to have stadiums of much bigger the maintenance costs should also be taken into scale. It would be nice if you built a stadium consideration. A much bigger stadium would be a with the capacity of at least 5000 people. nuisance for the Municipality. When will the stadium be ready? So far, we do not have a set date for finalizing this project. The construction works will begin in August and are set to last till the December of the year 2019. However, it all depends on the contractor chosen. There is a building next to the stadium which The building is a private property therefore it will remain will not look nice with the new design. where it is. However, we have a permit from the owner of the building to carry out construction works nearby the property. Will the noise disturb the population It is the duty of the contractor to minimize noise pollution significantly? and take the interests of the local population into consideration. How much will the project cost? Based on the information we currently possess, the project will cost approximately 5000 GEL. Will the interests of individuals be disturbed The project has no overlap with private ownership, all red by the implementation of the project? lines in the area are followed accordingly. There was one case, which we previously discussed, and we already have a permit from the private owner to carry out construction works nearby their land. After discussing of Environmental Documents, meeting participants expressed their sympathy towards the scheduled project. There were no additional questions or comments.
