The Environmental Review Checklist for Identifying Potential Environmental Impacts of Project
Activities and Processes (ERC) and Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) is intended
for use by implementing partners to: assess activity-specific baseline conditions, including applicable
environmental requirements; identify potential adverse environmental effects associated with planned
activity(s) and processes; and develop EMMPs that can effectively avoid or adequately minimize the
identified effects. This ERC/EMMP may be substituted for other ERC/EMMP versions that may have
been attached to previous initial environmental examinations (IEE). If implementing partners are in
doubt about whether a planned activity requires preparation of an ERC, they should contact their
Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)/Agreement Officer’s Representative (AOR) for clarification.
In turn, the COR/AOR should contact their Mission Environmental Officer (MEO) if they have any
questions. In special circumstances and with approval of the BEO it is possible to have one very
comprehensive ERC/EMMP for multiple projects if they are similar in scope. (When preparing the
ERC/EMMP, please indicate “not applicable” for items that have no bearing on the activity. The
ERC/EMMP should be completed by an environmental specialist. The ERC/EMMP must be completed
and approved prior to the activity beginning.)

6. Implementation timeframe and schedule
7. Detailed description of activity, items that will be purchased (This section should fully describe
what funds are being used for.)
The project Activities have been divided into following activities:
Conducting the candidate selection process
Procurement of raw materials for education
Production and printing of educational materials and other advertising material
Conducting theoretical classes in groups
Knowledge assessment (exams, welder certification)
The WHAM funds will be used for the following activities:
In 1968, passing through the production of components for the bodywork of vans, SIAC enters
the agricultural machinery market , printing bodies for tractors, hoods, tanks and mudguards. The entry
into this sector marks the path and the destiny of Siac, allowing it to establish itself as a reference producer
in the agricultural sector and starting from the 90s also for earthmoving.
Today SIAC, more than 50 years after its foundation, keeps unchanged the spirit and motivations that
inspired its birth.
The primary activity of “Krupa Kabine” is the production of cabins for work vehicles. As part of the
production, the material is processed with the use of CNC milling machines and lathes, CNC lasers, and all
of these parts are joined by welding. After mastering the theoretical and practical slasses at svhool, students
will improve their skills in the production plant on real examples.
9. Existing or planned certifications, e.g., ISO 14001 EMS, ISO 9000, HCCP, SA 8000, Global
Gap, Environmental Product Declarations, Eco Flower, EcoLogo, Cradle to Cradle, UL
Environment, GREENGUARD, Fair Trade, Green Seal, LEED, or various Forest Certifications
MSS “Safet Krupić” and “Krupa Kabine” d.o.o. have the ISO 9001:2015 certificate.
10. Site map, e.g., provide an image from Google Earth of the location
11. Photos of site, items to be purchased, engineering construction plans (when available)
3. Natural resources, e.g., nearby forest/protected areas, ground and surface water resources
Bosanska Krupa is territorially located in the valleys of the rivers Una and Krušnica.
Copmany “Krupa Kabine” d.o.o. had continuity in its development since its inception. It currently
has approximately 230 employees, and last year an additional plant was opened with another 3,000
square meters of production hall. Also, there is continuity in investing in equipment and following
global trends in this branch of industry.

E. Engineering Safety and Integrity (for Sections E. and F., provide a discussion for any of the listed
issues that are yes answers and likely to have a bearing on this activity)
1. Will the activity be required to adhere to formal engineering designs/plans? Have these
been or will they be developed by a qualified engineer? If yes, attach the plans to the
ERC/EMMP.
All of the procedures and legal norms and requirements were fulfilled when it comes to
CNC machines installed in the CNC education cabinets. These include attests of the CNC
machines, Weiding equipment, electrical installation plans and other needed conditions for
CNC operations.
2. Do designs/plans effectively and comprehensively address:
a. Management of storm water runoff and its effects? N/A
b. Reuse, recycling, and disposal of construction debris and by-products?
The educational processes will include theoretical and practical education. The practical
educational processes will imply usage of aluminium, steel and plastic which is to bbe
processed during the educational processes by CNC, Welding and Grinding machines. The
residue and waste created as the byproduct of processing of aluminium, steel and plastic
will be stored separately. The potential communal waste (paper, tissues, etc.) will be placed
in a separate bin. The aluminium, steel and plastic waste will be send for recycling and be
collected by the “Sekundarac” d.o.o. The other waste will be disposed in the containers and
collected by the local utility company JKP “10 juli” Bosanska Krupa.
c. Energy efficiency and/or preference for renewable energy sources? N/A
d. Pollution prevention and cleaner production measures?
All of machines during the production process store the waste material and debris in
container which is part of the machine itself, so no additional containers are needed. The
waste is then collected and forwarded to third partes for recycling o further disposal
e. Maximum reliance on green building or green land-use approaches? N/A
f. Emergency response planning?
The School has developed in 2013 the Plan of protection and Salvage in cases of Disasters
which includes the risk analysis and includes the organization of protecrion and salavage,
Preventive plan actions, ect.
The School has developed evacuation plan which is placed on two location within the
school and installed “EXIT” signs and arrows that point to the evacuation route.
The first aid kits are installed on 2 locations within the Mixed School which are always
available to the employees and the students. Coordinator of the practical education has a
first aid certificate and is in charge of providing first aid.
g. Mitigation or avoidance of occupational safety and health hazards?
The School has developed Evacuation plan with clear procedures on how to behave during
emergency situations, with clearly indicated fireemergency exits.
The protective equipment used for CNC is not that expensive since the CNC machines are
closed and the risk of injury during these processes is relatively low. The protective
equipment is primarily related to the use of protective clothing, gloves and masks for
welding/Grinding.
h. Environmental management of mobilization and de-mobilization? N/A
i. Capacity of the host country recipient organization to sustain the environmental
management aspects of the activity after closure and handover? N/A
3. Are there known geological hazards, e.g., faults, landslides, or unstable soil structure,
which could affect the activity? If so, how will the project ensure structural integrity?
No
4. Will the site require grading, trenching, or excavation? Will the activity generate borrow
pits? If so, how will these be managed during implementation and closure? No
5. Will the activity cause interference with the current drainage systems or conditions?
Will it increase the risk of flooding? No
6. Will the activity interfere with above- or below-ground utility transmission lines, e.g.,
communications, water, sewer, or natural gas? No
7. Will the activity potentially interfere with vehicle or pedestrian traffic? No
8. Does the activity increase the risk of fire, explosion, or hazardous chemical releases? No
9. Does the activity require disposal or retrofitting of polychlorinated biphenyl-containing
equipment, e.g., transformers or florescent light ballasts? No
I, the undersigned, certify that activity-specific baseline conditions and applicable environmental
requirements have been properly assessed; environment, health, and safety impacts requiring further
consideration have been comprehensively identified; and that adverse impacts will be effectively
avoided or sufficiently minimized by proper implementation of the EMMP(s) in Section H. If new
impacts requiring further consideration are identified or new mitigation measures are needed, I will be
responsible for notifying the USAID COR/AOR, as soon as practicable. Upon completion of
activities, I will submit a Record of Compliance with Activity-Specific EMMPs using the format
provided in ERC Annex 2.
