According to ADB guidelines (2003), environmental assessment of a proposed project isat the initial/preparatory stages of Investment Program. As per the ADB Guidelines, theproposed project components are categorized into A, B or C category projects toestablish the level of environmental assessment needed to address potentialenvironmental impacts. It is understood from the IEE study that there are no significantpotential environmental impacts from the proposed Investment Program. Therefore, anEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is not required for this development project(Category A is ruled out). However, the study reveals that there are less significantimpacts of the project on the environment and are of short duration. Therefore, onlyInitial Environmental Examination (IEE) is required (Category B is considered).Category ‘C’ is not applicable since IEE is required for the program components.Hence, IEE has been carried out with identification of potential impacts and necessaryfeasible mitigation measures with due importance given for sustainable environment.KUIDFC 5 SPAN
