Appendix A. Financial Negotiations - Breakdown of Remuneration Rates

1. Review of Remuneration Rates
1.1. The remuneration rates are made up of salary or a base fee, social costs, overheads, profit,
and any premium or allowance that may be paid for assignments away from headquarters
or a home office. An attached Sample Form can be used to provide a breakdown of rates.
1.2. If the RFP requests submission of a technical proposal only, the Sample Form is used by
the selected Consultant to prepare for the negotiations of the Contract. If the RFP requests
submission of the financial proposal, the Sample Form shall be completed and attached
to the Financial Form-3. Agreed (at the negotiations) breakdown sheets shall form part
of the negotiated Contract and included in its Appendix D or C.
1.3. At the negotiations the firm shall be prepared to disclose its audited financial statements
for the last three years, to substantiate its rates, and accept that its proposed rates and
other financial matters are subject to scrutiny. The Client is charged with the custody of
government funds and is expected to exercise prudence in the expenditure of these funds.
1.4. Rate details are discussed below:
(i) Salary is the gross regular cash salary or fee paid to the individual in the firm’s
home office. It shall not contain any premium for work away from headquarters or
bonus (except where these are included by law or government regulations).
(ii) Bonuses are normally paid out of profits. To avoid double counting, any bonuses
shall not normally be included in the “Salary” and should be shown separately.
Where the Consultant’s accounting system is such that the percentages of social
costs and overheads are based on total revenue, including bonuses, those
percentages shall be adjusted downward accordingly. Where national policy
requires that 13 months’ pay be given for 12 months’ work, the profit element need
not be adjusted downward. Any discussions on bonuses shall be supported by
audited documentation, which shall be treated as confidential.
(iii) Social Charges are the costs of non-monetary benefits and may include, inter alia,
social security (including pension, medical, and life insurance costs) and the cost
of a paid sick and/or annual leave. In this regard, a paid leave during public
holidays or an annual leave taken during an assignment if no Expert’s replacement
has been provided is not considered social charges.
(iv) Cost of Leave. The principles of calculating the cost of total days leave per annum
as a percentage of basic salary is normally calculated as follows:
total days leave x 100

Leave cost as percentage of salary =
[365 - w - ph - v - s]
Where w = weekends, ph = public holidays, v = vacation, and s = sick leave.
Please note that leave can be considered as a social cost only if the Client is not
charged for the leave taken.
(v) Overheads are the Consultant’s business costs that are not directly related to the
execution of the assignment and shall not be reimbursed as separate items under
the Contract. Typical items are home office costs (non-billable time, time of
senior Consultant’s staff monitoring the project, rent of headquarters’ office,
support staff, research, staff training, marketing, etc.), the cost of Consultant’s
personnel not currently employed on revenue-earning projects, taxes on
business activities, and business promotion costs. During negotiations, audited
financial statements, certified as correct by an independent auditor and
supporting the last three years’ overheads, shall be available for discussion,
together with detailed lists of items making up the overheads and the percentage
by which each relates to basic salary. The Client does not accept an add-on
margin for social charges, overhead expenses, etc. for Experts who are not
permanent employees of the Consultant. In such case, the Consultant shall be
entitled only to administrative costs and a fee on the monthly payments charged
for sub-contracted Experts.
(vi) Profit is normally based on the sum of the Salary, Social costs, and Overheads.
If any bonuses paid on a regular basis are listed, a corresponding reduction shall
be made in the profit amount. Profit shall not be allowed on travel or any other
reimbursable expenses.
(vii) Away from Home Office Allowance or Premium or Subsistence Allowances.
Some Consultants pay allowances to Experts working away from headquarters
or outside of the home office. Such allowances are calculated as a percentage
of salary (or a fee) and shall not draw overheads or profit. Sometimes, by law,
such allowances may draw social costs. In this case, the amount of this social
cost shall still be shown under social costs, with the net allowance shown
separately.
UNDP standard rates for the particular country may be used as reference to
determine subsistence allowances.

1.1 The Bank’s Anti-Corruption Guidelines and this annex apply with respect to procurement
under Bank Investment Project Financing operations.
2. Requirements
2.1 The Bank requires that Borrowers (including beneficiaries of Bank financing); bidders
(applicants/proposers), consultants, contractors and suppliers; any sub-contractors, sub-
consultants, service providers or suppliers; any agents (whether declared or not); and any
of their personnel, observe the highest standard of ethics during the procurement process,

Corruption.
2.2 To this end, the Bank:

knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain financial
or other benefit or to avoid an obligation;
iii. “collusive practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to
achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of
another party;
iv. “coercive practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm,
directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly
the actions of a party;
v. “obstructive practice” is:
(a) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering, or concealing of evidence
material to the investigation or making false statements to investigators in
order to materially impede a Bank investigation into allegations of a corrupt,
fraudulent, coercive, or collusive practice; and/or threatening, harassing, or
intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters
relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation; or
(b) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of the Bank’s inspection and
audit rights provided for under paragraph 2.2 e. below.

Section 6. Fraud and Corruption 74
indirectly, engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, or obstructive practices

in competing for the contract in question;
c. In addition to the legal remedies set out in the relevant Legal Agreement, may take other
appropriate actions, including declaring misprocurement, if the Bank determines at any
time that representatives of the Borrower or of a recipient of any part of the proceeds of
the grant engaged in corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, coercive, or obstructive practices
during the procurement process, selection and/or execution of the contract in question,
without the Borrower having taken timely and appropriate action satisfactory to the
Bank to address such practices when they occur, including by failing to inform the Bank
in a timely manner at the time they knew of the practices;
d. Pursuant to the Bank’s Anti- Corruption Guidelines and in accordance with the Bank’s
prevailing sanctions policies and procedures, may sanction a firm or individual, either
indefinitely or for a stated period of time, including by publicly declaring such firm or
individual ineligible (i) to be awarded or otherwise benefit from a Bank-financed
contract, financially or in any other manner;1 (ii) to be a nominated2 sub-contractor,
consultant, manufacturer or supplier, or service provider of an otherwise eligible firm
being awarded a Bank-financed contract; and (iii) to receive the proceeds of any grant
made by the Bank or otherwise to participate further in the preparation or
implementation of any Bank-financed project;
e. Requires that a clause be included in bidding/request for proposals documents and in
contracts financed by a Bank grant , requiring (i) bidders (applicants/proposers),,
consultants, contractors, and suppliers, and their sub-contractors, sub-consultants,
service providers, suppliers, agents personnel, permit the Bank to inspect3 all accounts,
records and other documents relating to the procurement process, selection and/or
contract execution, and to have them audited by auditors appointed by the Bank.
1
For the avoidance of doubt, a sanctioned party’s ineligibility to be awarded a contract shall include, without limitation,
(i) applying for pre-qualification, expressing interest in a consultancy, and bidding, either directly or as a nominated sub-
contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or nominated service provider, in respect of such
contract, and (ii) entering into an addendum or amendment introducing a material modification to any existing contract.
2
A nominated sub-contractor, nominated consultant, nominated manufacturer or supplier, or nominated service provider
(different names are used depending on the particular bidding document) is one which has been: (i) included by the
bidder in its pre-qualification application or bid because it brings specific and critical experience and know-how that
allow the bidder to meet the qualification requirements for the particular bid; or (ii) appointed by the Borrower.
3
Inspections in this context usually are investigative (i.e., forensic) in nature. They involve fact-finding activities
undertaken by the Bank or persons appointed by the Bank to address specific matters related to investigations/audits,
such as evaluating the veracity of an allegation of possible Fraud and Corruption, through the appropriate mechanisms.
Such activity includes but is not limited to: accessing and examining a firm's or individual's financial records and
information, and making copies thereof as relevant; accessing and examining any other documents, data and information
(whether in hard copy or electronic format) deemed relevant for the investigation/audit, and making copies thereof as
relevant; interviewing staff and other relevant individuals; performing physical inspections and site visits; and obtaining
third party verification of information.

1 INTRODUCTION
2 General Considerations
The Government of Mozambique (GoM) has signed an agreement with the World Bank (WB)
to receive a recovery grant in which the rehabilitation and improvement of the drainage system
and coastal protection for the City of Beira have been included. This WB recovery grant,
entitled “Cyclone Idai and Kenneth Emergency Recovery and Resilience Project (PAD3379)”
(World Bank, 2019), includes a component to build climate resilience (Component 2) which
consists of a coastal resilience component (2.1) and an urban drainage component (2.2). The
planned investment grants for the urban drainage and coastal components under the project will
be co-financed at 50% from the Government of the Netherlands (GoN) through their DRIVE
program, which is administered by Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
The investments in the drainage system will solve urgent problems. As a result of the
insufficient drainage capacity, the central and eastern part of Beira are inundated for long
periods during the rainy season (Figure 1.1). People have to wade through stagnant water pools
to reach their homes, resulting in a severe loss of work force productivity. It also causes
widespread health problems, notably malaria. Despite these problems, more and more houses
are constructed in this area, as it lies within a manageable distance from Beira’s commercial
and industrial activities.
Figure 1.1 - Map of the City of Beira (source: www.reliefweb.int)

This document addresses the urban drainage component of the project known as the
“Rehabilitation of the Storm Water Drainage System in the City of Beira – Phase 2” project.
The Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Administration - Public Institute (AIAS-IP, a
1
BEIRA, PHASE 2

specialized agency created in 2009 to manage urban water and sanitation investments in
Mozambique) in partnership with the Municipal Council of Beira will implement the project.
The project has been classified as Category A by the Ministry of Land and Environment, MTA,
through the National Directorate of Environment, DINAB), which means that a full
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is required. Thus, according to the same
Decree No. 54/2015, an Environmental Pre-Feasibility and Scoping Study (EPDA), followed
by an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is required. This document
describes the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
for the project and includes the ToR for the required Environmental and Social Management
Plan (ESMP), Preparation and Implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and the
Livelihood Restoration Plan (LRP).

of Beira – Phase 2, Oct 2020)
In a Supporting Document to this ToR detailed information is given on the Legal and
Institutional Framework of ESIA and RAP in Mozambique, as well as on environmental
requirements of international organisations and the Funding Agencies. The Supporting
Document also provides a more detailed description of the project and the socio-economic,
physical, and biological environment in which the project is situated. Furthermore, a
preliminary identification and assessment of potential impacts is presented as well as a first
idea on applicable mitigating measures.
The preparation of the ToR was guided by the Environmental and Social Management
Framework ESMF, or in Portuguese QGAS, Quadro de Gestão Ambiental e Social,
Resettlement Process Framework RPF (Quadro de Políticas de Reassentamento - QPR) and
Gender Based Violence/ Sexual and Abuse Exploration/ Sexual Harassment Action Plan
2

(GBV/SE/AS), prepared by the Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources for
the Cyclone Idai and Kenneth Emergency Resilient Recovery Project (CERRP) (December
2020 for the ESMF and November for RPF) as well as by Decree No. 54/2015 of 31 December,
which regulates the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Process, by Ministerial
Diploma No. 129/2006 (Approves the General Directive for Environmental Impact Studies) and
Ministerial Diploma No. 130/2006, the latter relating to the Public Participation Process. Decree
number 31/2012 of August 8, which regulates the resettlement process resulting from economic
activities, by Ministerial Diploma No. 155 and 156, which approves the Technical Directive for
the Process of Elaboration and Implementation of Resettlement Plans.
3 Objectives of the Terms of Reference
These Terms of Reference provide a guideline that governs the preparation of the
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and the preparation and implementation
of Resettlement Action Plan (RAP).
The objectives of the Terms of Reference can be described as follows:
̶ Define the objectives and the scope of the evaluation that is required, outlines the
responsibilities of the consultant, and provides a clear description of the resources
available to conduct the study.
̶ Delineate the relevant issues to be discussed and outline the basic structure of the
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), the Environmental and Social
Management Plan (ESMP) and the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and Livelihood
Restoration Plan (LRP).
̶ Ensure the consistency and depth of the specialist studies that need to be carried out,
as well as the quality of the ESIA, ESMP, RAP and LRP; and
̶ Ensure that the decision-making authority is provided with an ESIA, ESMP, RAP and
LRP that provide sufficient information to justify, on environmental grounds, the
acceptance, modification, or rejection of the project for financing and implementation.
The ToR aim to support the general goals of environmental protection and sustainable
development.
4 Proponent Presentation
The Proponent of this project is the Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Administration, Public
Institute (AIAS-IP), an institution under the Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Water
Resources, created through Decree No. 19/2009 of 13 May, responsible for managing the assets
of the secondary public water distribution systems and those allocated to it, and the public
wastewater drainage systems. In 2020, AIAS underwent a restructuring, having changed its
statute, and transformed into a Public Institute, renamed AIAS – IP (Decree No 112/2020 of 29
December).

5 Legal and Regulatory Framework

The Social and Environmental Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plan procedures in
Mozambique are supported by a set of national laws and policies. International guidelines, e.g.,
guidelines of funding agencies, in this case World Bank ESS subscribed by Invest International,
apply to the project as well. A detailed description of applicable laws and regulations is given
in the Supporting Document to this ToR.
Overall, it can be concluded that Mozambican legislation covers almost all areas covered by
the World Bank's Environmental and Social Standards (ESS). Hence, National legislation
provides sufficient basis to manage the environmental and social risks and impacts of the
activities proposed by the project.
The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Water
Resources (MOPHRH) through the Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Administration (AIAS).
AIAS will be responsible for the implementation of the project. AIAS has a strong Project
Implementation Unit (PIU) with proven capacity for managing large contracts.
AIAS has specialists in environmental and social safeguarding who will be responsible for the
environmental and social screening of subprojects and for implementing and monitoring of
necessary environmental and social mitigating measures to be identified and described in the
ESMP of the project, in order to comply with National environmental legislation and World
Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards.
The Ministry of Land and Environment (MTA) is the central government organization that
directs the execution of environmental policies and coordinates, guides, manages and promotes
the planning and appropriate use of the country's natural resources. MTA is also responsible for
regulating ESIA procedures in Mozambique through the National Directorate for the
Environment (DINAB). All projects that potentially have adverse environmental or social
impacts are required to register with MTA for the determination of the category (A+, A, B or
C) and consequently the type of environmental assessment to be undertaken.
MTA is responsible for the coordination of activities in the environmental area and for ensuring
the application of the legislation on environmental quality standards, on emissions and effluents
and on territorial planning. MTA has established Provincial Offices in all provincial capitals,
which are responsible for the supervision of the ESIA process for category A activities, while
the Provincial Directorates of Territorial Development and Environment Planning (DPDTA)
ensure the supervision of category B and C activities. The Provincial Environmental Services
(SPA) also participate in the categorization, licensing, and monitoring of activities in the
environmental sector.
More details on the Regulatory Framework are given in the Supporting Document to this ToR.

6 Project Description
During Phase 1 of the “Rehabilitation of the Storm Water Drainage System in the City of Beira”
project, completed in 2018, drainage canals A0, A2 and A4 (see Figure 6.1) were rehabilitated
and the situation in the neighbourhood Chipangara, Macurungo, Matacuane, Esturro, Mananga,
Maraza and Munhava improved considerably. Flooding in these areas reduced significantly and
the drainage system functioned properly during high intensity rainfall events in January 2019
as well as during Cyclone Idai in March 2019. However, challenges remain, the capacity of the
system still has limitations and is insufficient to accommodate higher return period rainfall
events.
In the neighbourhood to the east of the Phase 1 project area, the districts Macurungo, Maraza
and Chota, problems remained. These problems will be addressed in the current Phase 2 of the
“Rehabilitation of the Storm Water Drainage System in the City of Beira” project in which
canals A1 and A3 will be rehabilitated. Besides, the drainage areas of the districts Matacuane,
Esturro, Mananga, Maraza, Munhava, Macurungo, Maraza and Chota, will be interconnected.
See Figure 3 Project intervention area
Figure 6.1 – Project Intervention Area Phase 2

Drainage in Beira is based upon a gravity tidal outlet system. Since maximum sea levels are
approximately 1.75 to 3.5 m above MSL and land elevations range from 2 to 3 m above MSL,
there is no need for pumping stations. However, temporary storage of storm water to bridge
periods of high tides, when the outflow to the sea is blocked, is needed. This retention can partly
take place in the canals themselves, but this may not be sufficient. Hence additional storage in
the form of retention basins will have to be created, for which additional space has to be made
available. Space for a retention basin has been reserved in the north-eastern part of Chota, the
area reserved has enough space to accommodate the needs. And the waters will be downloaded
towards the sea trough the Rio Maria (Maria river).

BEIRA, PHASE 2

Figure 6.2 - Drainage network foreseen in the TPF study through phases 1, 2
and 3, respectively
Also, in the planned Maraza urban development area (see Figure 6.3) space has been reserved
for water bodies to provide retention for the drainage system during extreme rainfall events, but
only the very eastern part of it is part of the project area.

24,000 houses

In the Phase 1 study it was proposed to connect Canal A1 to Canal A3 for discharge to the sea
via the new retention basin. Meanwhile, however, the situation along Canal A3 and its
connections to Canal A1 have changed dramatically. In the current situation the more likely
solution appears to be the connection of Canal A1 to the retention basin near Rio Maria via a
route through Maraza.
Another issue is the drainage from Munhava. It was foreseen to drain the area via a northern
route to Manga. However, the terrain levels show that it is more likely that part of this area will
also have to be drained via Maraza and further to the Rio Maria retention basin.
The overall concept of the projects is clear, but the exact location and nature of the various
components of the project still have to be made. Major activities include: rehabilitation of canals
(deepening, widening, change in profile), construction of bridges, culverts and outlets and the
construction of 1 or more retention areas with an order of magnitude of 100 ha.
7 Project Intervention Area

8 General Concept
Since Phase 1 studies, the phasing of the project works required the definition of the available funding,
as well as of the expansion rate at the city of Beira and new districts that will benefit from that expansion.
However, there is an intervention that was already considered to be prioritized in the south-eastern area
of Beira: the rehabilitation of the drainage canals A1 e A3 (including secondary canals) in the Chota
area, and its interconnection and diversion to a new storage basin. This basin was always considered
to be priority and leading towards the Rio Maria delta, to store part of the flows currently drained though
the Palmeiras outlet, following the intervention initiated in the western area, with the project’s 1st phase.
The drainage intervention in the Chota area, complementary to the one anticipated during the above-
mentioned 1st phase, will include:
• The rehabilitation of the existing primary drainage network, canals A1 and A3;
• The rehabilitation and densification of the existing secondary drainage network in that area; and
• Due to the limitations in discharging the storm water flows to sea at high tide,, it is necessary to
consider the construction of a new storage basin that would drain the entire Chota area and
also the Maraza area, and associated discharge structure.
This basin should be located close to the now upstream end of canal A3, along the coastline and on an
available marshy area that connects to the Rio Maria estuary. This location should not restrict the natural
urban development of the city along the coastal ridge, nor the strip of land along the Carlos Pereira
Road that is subject to a high development rate.
Based on the combination of the DELTARES Masterplan and the Beira Municipality existing urban plans
guidance for the region, and considering the existing buildings and those under construction, two areas
were pre-selected, as follows:
• The first area, known as Estoril, that, due to its proximity to the Chota area drainage network,
would primarily serve as an initial reception basin for the excess flows from the upstream
drainage system; and
7
BEIRA, PHASE 2

• The second area facing the Maraza area, with favourable elevations for the construction of a
second and broad storage basin with capacity to retain all excess volumes from the city, Chota
and Maraza draining systems.
The aim of the drainage solutions to be implemented is to permanently solve the storm water drainage
flows at Chota and Mananga, which currently are inadequately drained by the canals A1 and A3 to the
Palmeiras outflow, taking into account the climate change and urban development scenarios.
These interventions would significantly improve the drainage conditions in the South area, as shown in
the simulation results of TPF and COBA studies for the most critical scenario: intense rainfall with a
return period of 10 years, in the climate change scenario. Flooding issues prevail solely in one very
limited area in the Macuti district, and their resolution requires embankment works (that, at the most,
can be achieved with terrains removed from the storage basins construction sites).
It was considered that a total intervention in the drainage system will make this drainage subsystem
converge to the Estoril / Rio Maria area, to the eastern boundary of Chota.
Drawing 002 shows the photographic survey of the project intervention area.
9 Canal A1
Canal A1 is the first of the drainage canals that crosses Chota neighbourhood, coming from Northeast
and linking to canal A0 (Figure 1.1). This canal receives waters coming from a set of secondary drainage
canals and the total area being drained is in the order of 12 km 2. This is the canal that drains the most
of Chota and therefore it was considered, in Phase 1 studies, to reverse flow to Estoril area, as it clearly
is not possible to cope with all its flow in Palmeiras gates. Because of this, a set of gates was installed
in canal A1 close to its outlet to canal A0, to allow for the flow to be reversed. The present downstream
part of the canal will become the upstream part, and vice-versa.
As we will see, drainage in this part of Chota, whatever the alternative solution for this Phase 2 of the
drainage considered, is not as efficient as required, due to budget limitations and the priorities defined.
Informal settlements dominate in this part of Chota and damage is therefore more limited.
10 Canal A3
Canal also A3 links to canal A0, downstream of the connection of canal A1 with canal A0, close to the
Universidade Católica de Moçambique (Catholic University of Mozambique). It drains some of the
terrains closer to the coast (around 8 km2) and has its present upstream stretch going from Estoril area
towards Southwest, along Rua Carlos Pereira and inflecting to Westward at a certain point (Figure 1.1),
to go through the Macuti area, one of the lowest lying terrains in the city.
Once again, the concept is to invert the flow along canal A3, so as to drain from Southwest in a
northwards direction, to Estoril, without completely excluding drainage to canal A0, whenever possible.
The Northern extremity of the canal will have to be enlarged and deepened in some of the alternatives
considered, as it goes from being the upstream stretch of the canal to be the downstream stretch.
11 Secondary canals
Secondary canals are not going to be subject to any intervention in this phase of the works, as the
budget available is clearly insufficient for the required intervention. Some bottlenecks will be removed
8

and that is all. Removing vegetation and looking to keep the canals free is going to be the task of the
SASB that is going to operate and maintain the whole system.
12 Estoril Basin
Estoril basin is one of the assets requiring most attention and that is precisely what is done in this study.
Its function is crucial to the good performance of the system of canals draining Chota and Maraza
neighbourhoods, as the basin will store the waters drained during high tide periods, when there is not
enough difference of elevation between inland waters and tide level, to allow for gravitational flow of
storm water to the ocean. TA sensitivity analysis has been carried out to evaluate the benefits related
to different dimensions for the retention basin: an area of 160 versus 100 hectares has been compared,
in what concerns performance efficiency.
13 Outlet
A canal going through the mangrove from Estoril to the Rio Maria estuary was also considered in this
phase of the works, as it is going to be one of the most relevant assets of the drainage system. It is
through this canal that water drained by canals A1 and A3 will flow out from Estoril basin into the Rio
Maria estuary.
The survey has been processed to an area covering DTM by means of triangular interpolation. Because
the survey points were mainly taken around the elevated dykes in the area, extra points were added to
the network to prevent interpolation between the raised dykes. This was done using elevations that were
observed in the same sections of the area and where satellite images show similar areas such as water
or vegetation. The elevations are measured at the edge of the canal and not in the centre of the canal,
resulting in an uncertainty of the actual bottom level of the canal.
Because the dimensions of the existing canal are considered inadequate to drain the basin area in a
short period, a dredged (natural) canal must be considered, as described in section 6.5. Therefore, the
indicative elevations of this area are considered sufficient because the canal is expected to convey
water in most situations and has a limited function in the hydraulic system (only during outflow of the
retention basin after an extreme storm).
For a more detailed description of the project, reference is made to the Supporting Document
to this ToR and to the Feasibility Study Report.
14 Environmental and Social Background Data of the Project Area

15 The Socio-Economic Environment
The city of Beira is located in central part of Mozambique. Beira is the capital city of Sofala
province and is the second largest urban centre in the country after Maputo. With a geographical
area of 633 km² (Resolution n° 3/81, of 2 September) and an average altitude of 14 meters
above the sea level, it is located at coordinates 19° 50' south and 34° 51' east. Having as
9
BEIRA, PHASE 2

geographic limits the district of Dondo to the North, the Indian Ocean to the South and East
and the Púnguè River to the West (see the map below).
Figure 14.1 - Location of the City of Beira

The City of Beira occupies 0.9% of the territory of the Province of Sofala. In 2017, the
population of the Municipality of Beira was estimated at 592,090 inhabitants, a ratio of 295,362
men and 296,728 women, with a population density of 938.34 inhabitants per km2 compared to
only 28 inhabitants per km2 for the rest of districts of the Sofala province.
Considered the second city in the country (as mentioned above), after the capital (Maputo), in
terms of economic and geostrategic importance, the City of Beira is administratively divided
into 5 Administrative Posts: Central; Munhava; Inhamizua; Manga-Loforte and Nhangau,
which have a total of 26 districts, namely, Macuti, Palmeiras, Ponta-Gêa, Chaimite, Pioneiros,
Esturro, Matacuane, Macurungo, Munhava-Central, Mananga, Vaz, Maraza, Chota, Alto da
Manga, Nhaconjo, Chingussura, Vila Massane, Inhamízua, Matadouro, Mungassa, Ndunda,
Manga Mascarenhas, Muave, Nhangau, Nhangoma and Chonja.
The social and economic context of the City of Beira is quite complex. The “Cement-City” was
designed for about 200,000 inhabitants, at the independence date about 114,000 lived in the
city but ten years later the population had almost doubled. The 1997 census indicated that
412,000 people lived in the city, a number that has grown to 460,000 in 2017. This demographic
explosion is still ongoing, and the city is expanding over wastelands and areas that were
formerly used for agriculture (rice fields).
The peripheral areas of the city were initially occupied by people fledging from the civil war
(1977-1992). People with a rural background came to the city in search for shelter and started
10

erecting informal constructions in unhealthy and flooded areas, using only soil and natural
materials. They preserver their rural way of live.
Most of the population outside the “Cement City” (which represents the majority of the total
population) lives under poor conditions. Income levels are below poverty levels and living
conditions in the flood-prone areas are below standard. Settlements are almost permanently
muddy, have very poor or no sanitation, and garbage is littered all around. Health is affected by
dust and exhaust fumes from the intensive traffic. The majority of human settlements in the
peri-urban area of Beira is informal with no adequate road access. This in turn creates
appropriate conditions for assaults and criminality. Any additional problem that might affect
their routine has a high conflict potential.
The “artificial” influx of people to the city during the war period put together ethnicities that
under normal conditions would be separated in different areas. This created a latent animosity,
exacerbated by political reasons that, together with the poor social and economic conditions,
created an explosive environment where every pretext can be used to get an advantage over the
others. Conditions that also easily lead to claims and protests, sometimes even riots. The
Resettlement Action Plan will therefore be an important part of the project in order to obtain
goodwill of all those involved. Local leaders have to play a determinant role, as it might become
clear that a significant number of families which need to be resettled.
The recent occupation of a number of areas that were earlier identified as non-occupied
potential retention areas, makes it more difficult to find ways to relief the flooding problems,
formerly naturally flooded areas are now residential areas.
Along Canal A3 several industrial and commercial activities have developed that must be
preserved. Moving these entrepreneurs away from where they are now would be very costly
and probably politically sensitive. On the other hand, most of the area in the Chota and Maraza
neighbourhoods is inhabited in a disorderly way by poor people, that mostly depend on the
proximity to the “Cement City” for a living. The planned Maraza urban development will most
probably move the centre of the city more towards the east and create new job opportunities in
business or commerce. However, as long as this has not happened the populations will resist
resettlement in the direction of Rio Maria as much as they can.
Non-structural measures must be adopted with regard to urban services such as urban solid
waste collection and disposal. If this service is not provided the citizens will continue to throw
their trash into the canals, thus contributing to clogging the gates, so reducing drainage capacity
of the whole system. Campaigns to disseminate good environmental practices will have to be
planned and implemented.
16 The Physical Environment

The City of Beira has a humid tropical climate, with a distinctive seasonality. The average
annual rainfall is approximately 1600 mm but rainfall is quite variable over the years.
The Mozambican coast forms the western perimeter of an active tropical cyclone basin. During
cyclones winds can exceed 200 km/h and rainfall amounts and intensities can be extremely
high. Recently, in 2019, two large storms Desmond and Idai struck just three weeks apart.
Desmond caused widespread flooding due to prolonged heavy rains, Idai was characterized by
strong winds, causing destruction and coastal flooding.
The City is located in the delta of the Pungwe River on an alluvial plain to the north of the river.
The plain gently slopes to the southeast. Originally built on coastal sand dunes and beaches, the
11
BEIRA, PHASE 2

city later expended into poorly drained marshy flatlands and lagoon areas behind the dunes. To
make this possible, embankments and a system of canals to facilitate drainage had to be built.
The southern and central areas of the City of Beira are located on sandy alluvial deposits, which
may contain groundwater at a shallow depth. Numerous small lakes and temporary ponds,
indicating a water table close to the surface, are found in areas with an impermeable clayey
subsoil.
Drainage is particularly difficult in some areas, e.g., in the Chota area, due to the absence of
relief and the low elevations of around 1.5 – 2.5 m. This situation is further exacerbated because
discharge to the sea is only possible at low tide and because rainfall is characterised by high
intensities and long duration.
On the other hand, the Alto da Manga area has a relatively steep topography with elevations
varying between 15 and 5 m. Consequently, drainage is relatively easy. However, the water is
discharged to a relatively flat marshy area close to the Pungue River, frequently inundated by
the river floods.
Munhava area has elevations between 3 and 5 m and has no well delineated water courses. The
area drains to the same area as the Alto da Manga.
The shoreline, where Chaimite, Ponta-Gea, Chipangara, Palmeiras and Macuti districts are
located, is formed by a low and narrow coastal ridge. The width of the coastal ridge is less than
50 m and its height varies between 5 and 7 m. To the north of that coastal ridge lies a broad
marshy plain characterized by very low elevations. Most of the southern part of the plain, where
the majority of the infrastructure is built, is less than 5 m high.
Due to above-described regional morphological characteristics, surface draining is inefficient
during periods of heavy rainfall or even during periods of moderate rainfall when such a period
coincides with high tides. As a consequence, large parts of the city are frequently flooded for
long periods of time.
Land use and cover have changed enormously in recent times, mainly due to the expansion of
the urbanized area (formal housing, informal housing, and port areas) over territories hitherto
used as agricultural fields or as uncultivated (flood prone) areas. Natural areas, like mangroves
areas, decreased considerably.
A large part of the City is currently occupied with extensive areas of disorderly, informal
housing surrounded to the north by agricultural areas and to the west by an expanding port and
industrial area. More or less ordered formal residential areas, with varying densities (low,
medium and high) are concentrated in the southern part of the city.
17 The Biotic Environment

The Beira area falls in the East African Mangrove Ecoregion, a region characterized by a high
biodiversity that provides vital habitats for migratory birds. Due to urban expansion and
resource exploitation the native vegetation changed considerably in composition and a variety
of exotic species were introduced, e.g., fruit trees and ornamental species.
Four ecological zones can be distinguished in the Beira area, coastal dues, mangroves, wetlands,
and shrublands.
Coastal dunes form a narrow fringe of 10 to 30 m wide. The dune areas are generally not very
rich in biodiversity. Over the years the mangrove cover in the Beira area decreased
considerably. Illegal wood extraction is the main cause of mangrove loss and degradation.
Remaining mangrove forests are encountered along the estuaries of the Buzi, Pungwe and Maria
rivers, as well as around most of the Chiveve river. In protected sections of the coast smaller
12

scattered patched can be found. Mangroves provide goods and services to the local population
and are ecologically divers and important. They are protected under Mozambican law.
Wetlands are either permanently of seasonally flooded areas that have a characteristic aquatic
vegetation. Historically the Beira area, except for the coastal dune fringe, was one extended
wetland area. Like mangroves, wetlands have a number of important functions, they purify and
store water, store carbon and nutrients, and support a variety of plants and animals: biodiversity
is high, not only of birds, but also of herpetofauna, fish and plants. The wetlands around Beira
are gradually being converted for other land uses, such as housing, development of
commercial/tourism facilities, rice growing etc.
Most of the project area is heavily anthropogenically influenced and is of limited ecological
value. Some of the wetlands and mangrove areas, however, host a diversity of species of flora
and fauna of value, especially the avifauna but also amphibians, fish and reptiles.
A more detailed description of the physical, biological and socio-economic environment in
which the project is situated is given in the Supporting Document to this ToR.

BEIRA, PHASE 2

18 General Methodology and Content of the ESIA

19 Introduction
These ToR address the preparation of the ESIA study, the report that will serve as the basis for
decision making. It is in line with the General Policy for the Preparation of EIAs (Ministerial
Decree 129/2006 of 19 of July gives to which all EIAs should comply). In addition, the TORs
is consistent with the Bank’s Environmental and Social Standards, particularly ESS1 which
requires that: “E&S assessment be proportionate to the risks and impacts of the subproject
activity and that the outcomes will inform the design of the proposed subproject and be used to
identify mitigation measures and actions and to improve decision making” and that such risks
or impacts will be addressed in accordance with the mitigation hierarchy and the objectives of
ESS1 and identify any capacity or other concerns that need to be addressed. Next to ESS1 also
ESS2; ESS3, ESS4, ESS5, ESS6, ESS8, and ESS10 have to be adhered to. See the Supporting
Document to this ToR for more details on the Environmental and Social Standards of the WB
as well as on other Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines that need to be followed.
The ESIA study has to start with the collection and analysis of basic data on the project
(including possible project alternatives) and on the natural and socio-economic environment as
far as it is likely to be affected (the so-called Baseline conditions). Also, the environmental
effects of autonomous developments (trends), have to be taken into account. Information on
governing legislation and the institutional setting of the project needs to be collected and
analysed as well.
Potential impacts have to be identified based on the information on Baseline conditions and
sources of impact. This identification has to include an estimate of the order of magnitude of
the impacts. Not all potential impacts need to be studied in detail. For the selection of the
impacts to be studied in detail, criteria are used such as: magnitude (the quantum of change);
extent (the affected area); and significance (with respect to effects).
Predicted impacts have to be expressed quantitatively (numbers) or qualitatively (large, small
etc.) and mitigation measures are identified to avoid, minimize or remedy adverse impacts or
to enhance environmental and social benefits of the proposed project.
The predicted impacts need to be presented in a systematic overview, e.g. in the form of a table,
of all relevant impacts of the project and for all project alternatives.
An Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has to be produced, this ESMP has to
give an overview of the mitigating measures and other project implementation conditions
required to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations and to reduce or
eliminate anticipated adverse impacts. A monitoring plan is part of the ESMP.
A timely, well planned and appropriately implemented public involvement program has to
support the ESIA study
The Category of the project has recently been officially established by the competent authority
(MTA), and the project was categorized as a category A project. The ESIA report for Category
A activities, requires at least the following content (Regulation on the Environmental Impact
Assessment Process, Decree No. 54/2015, Article 11):
̶ Identification of the Proponent;
̶ A non-technical summary covering the main issues, conclusions and recommendations;
̶ A description of the legal framework and institutional setting;
14

̶ An analysis of how the activity fits into the existing spatial plans and policies;
̶ A description of the activity and its foreseen interventions, as well as possible alternatives for
the different stages of the activity (planning, construction, exploration, and decommissioning);
̶ Geographical delineation of the project’s area and its area of influence;
̶ A description of the Baseline environmental and social situation, including a qualitative

assessment of the existing ecosystem services and an evaluation of the vulnerability of the
project to the effects of climate change;
̶ Identification and assessment of the direct, indirect, residual and cumulative impacts and the
proposed mitigation, enhancement and compensation measures;
̶ A detailed description and comparison of the different alternatives and the predicted future for
the environmental and socio-economic situation, with and without mitigation measures;
̶ Identification of impacts on health, affected communities, including vulnerable groups, and

proposed mitigation measures;
̶ An environmental and social management plan that includes a monitoring plan, an

environmental education program, and contingency plans for accidents; and
̶ Names and addresses of the multi-disciplinary team elaborating the EIA.

In separate attachments:
̶ The management plan for biodiversity counterbalancing, when applicable;
̶ A Resettlement Action Plan and Livelihood Restoration Plan in line with the National Directive:
and
̶ Reports on the public participation.

Specialist reports must be attached to the EIA report in the form of appendices.
As said, the category of the project has been established (category A), and an EPDA and ToR
were prepared and submit to MTA for respective approval. The EPDA, Estudo de Pré-
Viabilidade Ambiental e Definição de Âmbito (Environmental Pre-Viability Report and Scope
Definition) gives the scoping of the project, the function of which is to focus the ESIA on
aspects that are important and to minimize unnecessary work on aspects that are not. This is a
key step in the ESIA process since it verifies the necessary investigations that must be
undertaken during the detailed phase of work, determines the content and boundaries of the
detailed scope of work and the methodologies for specialist studies, and ensures that the work
being done is focused and fit for purpose, without unnecessary padding. The ESIA consultant
is expected to review the scope provided in the TOR in the scoping phase, and to base the
proposed detailed work program for the ESIA on their assessment of risk and proportionality
in relation to each environmental component.
20 Identification of the Proponent

The Proponent of this project is the Water and Sanitation Infrastructure Administration, Public
Institute (AIAS-IP), an institution under the Ministry of Public Works, Housing and Water
Resources, created through Decree No. 19/2009 of 13 May, responsible for managing the assets
15

22 Legal, Policy and Institutional Framework

The first step of the desktop study shall be a description and analysis of all policy, legal and
administrative framework within which the project takes place and identify any laws and
regulations that pertain to environmental and social matters relevant to the project. This shall
include national and international regulations about environmental and/or social impact
assessments to which the project must adhere to.
The objective of this section is to show how the developer would comply with the existing
policies, laws and administrative/institutional conditions both at national and international
levels.
Discuss the legal, and policy and institutional framework as well as regulations, strategies,
standards, international conventions and treaties that are of relevance to the environmental
management and the proposed project. Identify and describe the pertinent regulations and
standards, both local and international, governing the environmental quality, health and safety,
protection of sensitive areas and protection of endangered species, land use control and
16

ecological and socio-economic issues. Identify relevant international environmental agreements

to which Mozambique is a party.
Describe World Bank Environmental Standards and the environmental impact assessment
requirements of any co-financiers. For an overview of relevant WB standards and guidelines as
well as international conventions and treaties, reference is made to the Background Document
to this ToR.
Describe how the project fits in the sectoral development policies and spacial planning plans of
the project area and identify possible conflicts and interferences that may affect project
viability. The strategic plans of the Central Government and the Province of Sofala have to be
discussed.
23 Project Description
Give a clear picture of the project for the mobilization/pre-construction phase, the construction
phase, the operational as well as the decommissioning phase. The proposed schedule for
approval and implementation should be described as well.
The following information must be provided:
̶ General objectives of the Project and its justification in terms of the need and relevance of the
activity;
̶ Project Requirements: identify all types, sources and quantities of construction materials,
equipment and chemicals required by the project. Source and quantities of water, energy,
manpower (staffing and support) and other facilities and services required in each phase of
project life etc should be mentioned/discussed. Indicate the size of the estimated workforce.
̶ Mobilization or pre-construction activities: describe activities pertaining to land acquisition;

construction camp and site workshop (design and operation); project design; land
dispossession and property valuation; relocation and compensation arrangements;
̶ Construction activities: describe all associated activities during construction work such as:
construction of infrastructure and associated facilities; location of quarries, cut and fill; land
clearance; soil and gravel compaction and levelling; demolition of structures; types, sources
and amount of liquid and solid waste generated, including their disposal; dust generation; etc.;
̶ Operation and maintenance activities: identify and describe all the associated activities to be
conducted during project operation and maintenance such as: technology and equipment
involved; project health and safety measures; operation and management of project facilities;
etc.;
̶ Demobilization activities: identify and elaborate on the activities to be conducted during

demobilization or decommissioning of the project including movement and demolition of
construction facilities; restoration of borrow pits; termination of the temporary workers
employment; waste management; etc.; and
̶ Subprojects and associated activities. Sub-projects or activities that have specific licensing
requirements, if any, need to be identified.
24 Project Alternatives
17
BEIRA, PHASE 2

The development and proper examination of alternatives has to reveal alternative ways to meet
the objectives of the project, that may have fewer or less serious impacts on the environment.
̶ Describe different project alternatives that were examined in the course of designing the
proposed project and identify other alternatives, which would achieve the same objectives.
Include the “No-Project‟ alternative to demonstrate environmental and social conditions
without the project. This “No-Project” alternative serves as a standard to compare the different
project alternatives with. Project alternatives need to be generated, taking into consideration:
▪ Alterative locations and scales of development;
▪ Alternative site lay outs and access arrangements;
▪ Alternatives related to design, material use and construction techniques;
▪ Alternative phasing and scheduling; and
▪ Alternative operation and maintenance procedures.
̶ Compare alternatives in terms of potential environmental and social impacts; capital and
operating costs; suitability under local conditions; and institutional, training, and monitoring
requirements. When describing the impacts, indicate which are irreversible or unavoidable and
which can be mitigated;
̶ To the extent possible, quantify the costs and benefits of each alternative, incorporating the
estimated costs of any associated mitigating measures: and
̶ Develop environmental and social criteria to select the preferred project alternative.
In presenting the project alternatives, the mitigation hierarchy of the WB as presented in Environmental
and Social Standard 1, must also be considered.
25 Geographical Delineation of the Project Area and Area of Influence

Describe the location of the project area (maps showing general location, specific location,
project boundary and project site layout). This has to include Borrow Pits in the geographical
area of the project, as well as transportation routes from and to the Borrow Pits.
Delineate the project’s area of influence, the geographical space directly or indirectly affected
by environmental impacts as a result of the project activities. A distinction has to be made
between the Area of Direct Influence (ADI), consisting of the footprint area (the area occupied
by the proposed protection infrastructure/measures) and the area where direct impacts from the
construction and operational activities will be felt, and the Area of Indirect Influence (AII), the
geographical area where indirect impacts are likely to occur, or in other words, where secondary
impacts resulting from direct ones are felt.
The feasibility study will determine quantity and quality of necessary material for the
construction of the drainage (when the ESIA studies started, the feasibility study will be already
finished and available). The borrow pit sites will be determined taking into consideration the
result of the feasibility studies (this is an aspect to be considered in the Analysis of Alternatives
of the ESIA).
The ESIA will therefor screen for E&S impacts at the proposed sites for Borrow pits. These
sites will be assessed as part of the ESIA, and the ESMP will develop prevention, mitigation
18

and control measures for these impacts. The Screening will as well determine if there are
resettlement impacts (economical and/or physical displacement), and if required, a RAP will be
prepared for the Borrow pits too.
26 Baseline Description
Present a description of the existing physical, biotic and socio-economic environment of the
project’s area of influence. This Baseline description serves to obtain an understanding of the
physical, biotic and socio-economic dynamics and interactions that take place in the area prior
to the implementation of the project and provides a reference for predicting and monitoring the
possible impacts caused by the project.
The descriptions have to be illustrated with maps in adequate scale, graphs, tables and
photographs, and all other resources necessary for a full understanding of the information
collected. Data sources have to be described briefly.
Only those environmental factors that are necessary for understanding the impacts of the
planned development should be considered and any changes anticipated before the project
commences need to be included as well.
The Baseline studies will be carried out by performing a literature review, to be complemented
with fieldwork to collect additional data, if directly available data is insufficient for a good
understanding of the present situation and the prediction of impacts.
The Baseline information of the project area has to include a description of:
1. The physical environment:

▪ Climate and air quality;
▪ Noise and vibration;
▪ Geology, geomorphology, topography and soils;
▪ Land use and land cover;
▪ Hydrology, including the flood characteristics;

schools and health centres.
20

30 Geology, Geomorphology, Topography and Soils

Information on geology, geomorphology, topography and soils is of importance for a variety of
reasons, e.g., to assess the risk of soil erosion and contamination of surface waters at
construction sites, assessment of the suitability of soil material for land fill etc. The following
information is considered important:
̶ Main geological, geomorphological and soil units, described and mapped at appropriate scale;
̶ Topography of the project area, mapped at an appropriate scale; and
̶ Physio-chemical characterisation of surface soils present in the project area (depth, texture
and possibly presence of contaminants).
31 Land Use and Land Cover
The current land use in the project area will be presented on maps of appropriate scale. Present
land use will be verified onsite (field survey) and through consultation with the Beira
Municipality and Infrastructure Services. The following aspects will be described:
̶ The existing land use/land cover in the project area and surrounding area of influence; and
̶ Future land use as envisaged in the land use plans.

32 Hydrology, Including the Flood Characteristics
A number of rivers and streams cross the City of Beira. Execution of the project may affect
hydrological characterize and water quality of these streams and other stagnant surface waters.

resources, employment, livelihoods, use of social services such as health and education,
access to credit and mobility;
▪ Barriers to women’s access to such services and opportunities;
▪ Attitudes that underpin women and men’s differentiated access and use of services and
opportunities have to be explored.
▪ The gender assessment also has to explore women’s decision-making roles in the
household and community and how this impacts their inclusion in project activities
particularly in relation to consultations, use of grievance redress channels and information-
sharing.

49 Identification and Assessment of Impacts

Environmental and social impacts (positive and negative) of the proposed project/project
alternatives on natural resources, human beings and the ecosystems for each of the phases of
project life cycle i.e. mobilization or pre-construction phase, construction phase, operation
phase and decommissioning and demobilization phase, shall be identified, analysed and
assessed. Impact assessment involves the detailed analysis of the impacts to determine their
extent, significance and magnitude. The assessment of expected impacts will allow for the
design of mitigation, enhancement or compensation measures to be applied in the various
phases of the project.
50 Impact Identification
Identify potential impacts by confronting project activities and processes (sources of impact,
e.g. emission of fumes by construction equipment) with elements of the natural and socio-
economic environment (receptors, e.g. water, soil, local community).
̶ Describe methods applied, e.g. construction of cause-effect networks, the use of checklists,
matrices or overlay maps;
̶ Pay special attention to the identification, analysis and assessment of cumulative impacts,
impacts that result from an accumulation of project impacts with impacts resulting from other
relevant past, present and reasonably foreseeable developments in the project area, as well
as impacts resulting from unplanned but foreseeable activities triggered or made possible by
the project; and
̶ Environmental and social impacts at the proposed sites for Borrow Pits and possible
resettlement sites need to be identified. If resettlement impacts at Borrow Pits are identified
(economical and/or physical displacement), a Resettlement Action Plan for the Borrow pits
has to be developed. Depending on the magnitude of the required resettlement a separate
ESIA for the development of resettlement areas may be required.
51 Impact Assessment
The assessment of impacts has to be done for each relevant environmental factor presented in
the Baseline, for the project area and the area of influence.

affected (area, number), environmental and social costs and benefits and assign economic
values when feasible;
̶ Describe methods applies, e.g. expert judgement, field observations, laboratory experiments,
mathematical modelling;
26

̶ Describe extent and quality of available data, explaining significant information deficiencies
and any uncertainties associated with the predicted impacts; and

61 Biotic Environment
Impacts on terrestrial ecology, aquatic ecology, sensitive ecosystems, ecosystem services, rare
and endangered species and protected areas have to be assessed. They are either the direct result
of removal (or coverage) of terrestrial ecosystems, including riparian systems, by project
construction activities, or an indirect consequence (higher order impacts) of changes, in the
physical environment like changes in air, water or soil quality, increased noise levels, changed
flooding conditions or groundwater levels etc. Since the project aims to improve ecological
functions by introducing a variety of nature-based solutions to flood control the ecological
assessment not only has to determine net loss and the need for mitigating measures/offsets, but
also specific attention for the net gains provided by the proposed interventions.
62 Terrestrial Ecology

64 Evaluation of Ecosystem Services
Impacts on Ecosystem Services currently provided to local population by natural ecosystems
in the area, notably wetlands, mangroves and forest/bush remains, need to be assessed. The
QGAS of the project suggests the use of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA)
methodology (Millennium Assessment and Island Press, 2003). This analysis methodology to
be used is summarized in the figure below.

67 Impact Valuation
Evaluate each identified impact according to valuation criteria and according to the method
described below. The method aims to minimize the subjectivity of valuation and takes into
account the following valuation criteria: impact reversibility, extent of the impact and
significance of the impact. The overall magnitude of the impact follows from the scores on
these valuation criteria.
Impact reversibility
̶ Reversible: once the cause responsible for the impact ceases, the altered environment
returns, immediately or in the short term, to a given equilibrium situation, similar to
the one that would have been established if the impact had not occurred;
̶ Reversible in the medium/long term: once the cause responsible for the impact ceases,
the altered environment returns, in the medium or long term, to a given equilibrium
situation, similar to that which would have been established if the impact had not
occurred; and
̶ Irreversible: the environment remains altered even after the cause responsible for the
impact has ceased.
Extent of the impact
