LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT ON
KOKAND WASTEWATER SUBPROJECT
A. Introduction
1. Multitranche Financing Facility and Loan Details
1. The Government of Uzbekistan (the Government) has requested the Asian Development
Bank (ADB) to assist with the Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program (the
Investment Program). ADB decided to fund the program through a Multitranche Financing Facility
(MFF) in an amount not exceeding $300 million from ADB's Special Funds resources. The MFF will
consist of several loans to finance a range of project activities under the Investment Program.
Uzbekistan Agency "Uzkommunhizmat" (UCSA) is the Executing Agency (EA) of the Investment
Program.
2. ADB's Board of Directors approved the MFF on 29 September 2009.
2. For Tranche 2, the Government requested ADB to finance the improvement of the quality
and quantity of water supply in Andijan, Fergana, Kokand, Margilan, and Rishtan cities. It will
finance rehabilitation and expansion of the existing water supply systems, most of which were
installed between 30 and 50 years ago, to provide the total 2025 design population of 1,385,000
with 24 hour per day water service, meeting Uzbekistan standards for water quality and pressure.
Spare parts and equipment for operation and maintenance are included for each subproject.
3. On 16 March 2010, the second (2nd) Periodic Financing Request (PFR) was submitted to
ADB for financing.
3. Scope of the Kokand Wastewater Subproject
4. The proposed subproject will serve 75% of population in 2025. The scope of the Kokand
wastewater systems includes:
a. Physical outputs for the wastewater system are:
(i) Rehabilitate or replace 20 km 200-500 mm corroded concrete sewers;
(ii) Rehabilitate 13 km 1200-1500 mm pipe of the Ishanabad sewage collector;
(iii) Construct 39 km of 200-600 mm sewer pipe to expand coverage from 36% to 75%
of the 2025 population;
(iv) Rehabilitate and modernize 2 pump stations and construct 1 new pump station,
including wet wells, structures and buildings, install new pumps and replace all
related mechanical, electrical and control systems;
(v) Rehabilitate the existing sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 62,000 m3/day,
including all structures, buildings and site works, new pumps, compressors, sludge
handling equipment and related mechanical, electrical and control systems.
b. Non-physical outputs
(i) Promotion of improved sanitation practices and positive hygiene behavior in local
health clinics, schools and the general population in the subproject towns;
Supplementary Appendix E
(ii) Implementation of the institutional strengthening and capacity development action
plan of the sector roadmap, which includes (i) performance based service contracts
and lease contracts for water supply and sanitation operations; (ii) water utility
(rayon vodokanal) rationalization study; (iii) vodokanal performance benchmarking;
(iv) tariff study and (v) capacity development of the responsible government
agencies, the PPMU and the PIUs, and subproject vodokanals; and
(iii) Program management and project implementation support
B. Land Acquisition and Resettlement Implications
5. Rehabilitation of 20 kms corroded concrete sewers and 13 kms pipe of the Ishanabad
sewer collector; will be constructed under the road alignment.
6. Construction of a new 39 kms sewer pipe to expand coverage from 36% to 75% of the
population in 2025 will be undertaken under the road alignment. No land acquisition is envisaged.
7. Construction of 1 new pump station will be located at the School # 18 located at
Chaharbog, Makhalla #32. It will be at the school ground/backyard where the old boiler (not
functioning/decommissioned for a long time) is situated. The school plans to build a new boiler
nearer the school buildings. The distance of the proposed site for the sewerage pumping station to
the nearest school building is around 50 meters. However, the distance between the proposed
site for the pumping station is nearer the residential /apartment buildings just across the street
(around 30 meters). Consultations with the residences was conducted by the vodakanal on March
5 2010 (see Annex 1) about the proposed site for the sewerage pumping station because this
might cause some noise and produce some unpleasant smell. There will be no land acquisition
because the school land belongs to the government.
8. For other rehabilitation activities of the 2 existing pump station and the sewerage treatment
plan, these will be carried out in their present locations wherein the land is allocated to the
vodakanal and/or the Khokimiyat of Kokand city.
9. Based on the initial social assessment conducted in March 2010, there will be no potential
loss of assets, livelihood, crops or trees. There maybe minor impacts i.e. disturbances such as
traffic, access to schools, hospitals, commercial establishments and residences during construction
of the water transmission mains and distribution lines along the road. There maybe also be noise
and dust pollution. The Environmental Management Plan will address these issues/impacts
through appropriate conditionality in the civil works contract. The civil works contract will require
the contractors to obtain approval of respective City/District Government before they temporarily
occupy any land for the purpose of construction material storage, equipments or construction site.
The contractors will also be required to negotiate and reach an agreement with the owners of such
land before these are used for temporary material storage or site construction. The condition of
occupancy of such land with prior agreement will be clearly specified in the civil works contract.
C. Conclusion
10. The Due Diligence Report confirms that the Kokand Wastewater subproject under Tranche
2 of the MFF Water Supply and Sanitation Services Investment Program will have no adverse
social impacts associated with land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) and that the project will
benefit 75% of the population by 2025.
