Environmental and Social Implications Sample Clauses

Environmental and Social Implications. The following observations indicating current pressing issues have been made at Manchinchi WWTP:  Reception station for faecal sludge poorly managed, thus generating smell and attracting vec- tors (mosquitos);  The surrounding wall around the WWTP area is partly destroyed; open space is used for dis- posal of individual solid waste, posing a health threat;  Residents regularly cross the WWTP area despite the presence of safeguard personnel;  No covers on manholes all across the WWTP, and lagoons are not fenced;  Residential areas in main wind direction (East-West) are directly affected by foul gases;  Solid waste resulting from wastewater treatment process has accumulated over time and ‘in- vites’ neighbors to dispose off their domestic solid waste;  Farmers are already taking sludge from the open lagoons, paying to the WWTP staff per ton ZMW 7.5 (corresponding to 0.85 EUR in July 2015). No sludge quality monitoring is estab- lished. This presents not only a danger to public health, but also to the farmers’ own health especially while handling the sludge, as they do not use any personal protection equipment (gloves, boots, mouth and nose covering masks).  Residents and their representatives do not perceive any benefit from the WWTP for the com- munity, but as an annoying, undesired installation;  Community leaders perceive the unused space in the WWTP compound as a waste of land and requested LWSC already to hand it over to the community for residential constructions.

Environmental and Social Implications. At Garden Ponds, the following observations on current pressing issues potential have been made:  Around the area the protective fence is completely missing presenting a permanent risk of drowning incidents to pedestrians especially to children - not only during the day, even more in the evening and night.  Massive smell covers the surrounding residential area due to the generation of fouling gases.  All ponds more or less weeded; last ponds with significant growth of water hyacinths.  Effluent more or less stagnant with massive attraction of vectors, posing a permanent threat to public health.  Local population – children, women, men, either walking, pushing wheelbarrows or on bicycles is using the pathways between the ponds to reach the main road thus being exposed to the risk of drowning.  LWSC maintenance staff (removal of solid waste, de-weeding, grass cutting) fully exposed to unsafe working conditions and related health risks (not using personal protection equipment such as gloves, boots, and nose-and-mouth covering masks).  Flowerpot producers around the ponds fetch water from the ponds to irrigate their plants for sale; although not allowed they do this in broad daylight. This threatens not only their own health (not using personal protection equipment such as gloves, boots, and nose-and-mouth covering masks) but also the health of their clients.

Environmental and Social Implications. The following observations on current pressing issues and conflict potential have been made:  Chunga WWTP suffers from the complete lack of a boundary fence, thus there is no security.  Farmers are already taking sludge from the open lagoons, paying to the WWTP staff per ton ZMW 7.5 (corresponding to 0.85 EUR in July 2015). Given the fact that this sludge is a result of the treatment of a mix of domestic and industrial it is highly possible that both pathogens and heavy metals still exist in the sludge. This presents not only a danger to public health, but also to the farmers’ own health especially while handling the sludge, as they do not use any personal protection equipment (gloves, boots, mouth and nose covering masks).  Some manholes in the WWTP are not covered, and wastewater streams are flowing fast in about 3m depths towards Chunga stream. As the compound is not fenced children could easi- ly enter to enjoy the place, and fall into these manholes, which are wide enough to pose a dangerous trap for adults.  Chunga River is a solid waste loaded water body, which carries solid waste from a number of residential areas upstream. Like in Manchinchi community, the overall environmental sanita- tion conditions of Chunga community demands for immediate action and community education strategies.  Across Chunga River and facing Chunga WWTP a new residential area (obviously middle to higher-middle income) starts to grow. Odor caused by the treatment system could impact the future residents there, too, potentially resulting in further resistance against the WWTP in this location.

Environmental and Social Implications. The following observations on current pressing issues and conflict potential have been made: • Physical security and public health issues: no fence and no barriers are in place around the ponds pose a high risk for drowning incidents for both children and adults. It further enables open access for everybody to use the partly treated water for illegal and unsafe irrigation. Dig- ging of shallow xxxxx for ‘drinking water supply’ in the community is associated with potential infiltration of unsafe waters from the ponds, but the deeper boreholes equipped with hand pumps are blocked by silt. • Availability of Land for WWTP extension: Today only the area around the ponds is owned by LWSC. Respectively, due to limited space in the ownership of the LWSC future extension are- as are to be acquired from private owners. Most plots around the ponds are cultivated agricul- tural plots with obviously good soil fertility, which will definitely impact the required investment in case the site is identified as preferred option. • Sludge and Effluent Reuse: Further north of the site extensive agricultural farms can be found. In June 2015, these farms cultivated grains irrigated by rotating pivot centre irrigation systems, most likely fed by groundwater from xxxxx. Here effluent might offer a potential alternative. The small farms surrounding the ponds are irrigated with water from the ponds. As stated by LWSC this practice is forbidden, however no effective control mechanisms are established. Especially during the weekend significant effluent volumes are pumped off for irrigation. These farmers might be interested in the future safe reuse of the effluent, however this would be associated with changes in the current crop regime (mainly vegetables) or the establish- ment of a treatment standard that allows for using the effluent for agricultural irrigation. Reference is made to Chapter 4.5 ‘Outcomes of the Scoping’ where most of the observed issues were also addressed during the Scoping Workshop.
