    Study Notes

    Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention

    • ESS3 recognizes that economic activity and urbanization lead to pollution of air, water, and land, and consumption of finite resources.
    • This threatens people, ecosystems, and the environment at local, regional, and global levels.
    • Current and projected atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a concern for future generations.
    • Improved resource use, pollution prevention, and GHG emission avoidance are achievable.
    • This ESS sets out the requirements to address resource efficiency and pollution prevention and management throughout the project life cycle consistent with GIIP. Pollution includes hazardous and non-hazardous chemical pollutants, thermal discharge, emissions, nuisance odors, noise, vibrations, radiation, electromagnetic energy, and visual impacts. Pollution prevention and Management includes measures to avoid/minimize emissions of contaminants. Pollution management considers short-lived climate pollutants, and GHGs, which include black carbon.

    Objectives

    • Promote sustainable use of resources (energy, water, raw materials).
    • Eliminate/minimize adverse impacts on human health and the environment by avoiding or minimizing pollution from project activities.
    • Minimize short/long-lived climate pollutant emissions (includes all GHGs and black carbon).
    • Reduce hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
    • Minimize pesticide risks and impacts.
    • Pollution prevention throughout the project lifecycle.
    • Implement technically and financially feasible resource use, pollution prevention, and pollution management measures.

    Scope

    • The applicability of this ESS is determined during the environmental and social assessment (ESS1).

    Requirements

    • Borrower to consider ambient conditions and apply technically and financially feasible resource efficiency and pollution prevention. This includes identifying and considering pollution's potential impacts on communities and the environment. Cumulative impacts on water use, air, and across different areas must be considered.
    • All potential cumulative impacts of the project's activities on communities and the environment must be considered and addressed.

    Resource Efficiency

    • The Borrower will implement measures for improving efficient use of energy, water, and raw materials.
    • Incorporate cleaner production principles in product design and processes to conserve resources, including benchmarking where data is available.
    • Where significant energy use is anticipated, the Borrower will adopt specific measures specified in EHSGs to optimize energy usage, to the extent technically and financially feasible.

    Energy Use

    • When significant energy use is anticipated, the Borrower will adopt measures specified in EHSGs to optimize energy usage, to the extent technically and financially feasible.

    Water Use

    • Projects significantly using water (or with potential significant impacts on water quality) will implement measures to avoid or minimize impacts on communities, users, and the environment. This includes water conservation measures, alternative water supplies, water consumption offsets, and evaluation of alternative project locations.
    • For high-water-demand projects, a detailed water balance will be developed, monitored, and reported.
    • Water use efficiency (volume per unit of production) will be benchmarked to industry standards.
    • Operations must be benchmarked against available industry standards of water usage, and water usage (volume per unit of production) will be assessed; and benchmarked against available industry standards. Projects must consider the potential impact of water use on surrounding communities, and the environment.
    • Raw materials must be considered, and potentially toxic/hazardous substances reduced/eliminated to mitigate adverse impacts. Consideration must be given to cumulative water use impacts on communities and the environment.

    Raw Material Use

    • The Borrower will adopt measures in EHSGs and other GIIP to support efficient raw material use, where technically and financially feasible.
    • The Borrower will seek to reduce or eliminate the use of toxic or hazardous raw materials, in the first instance, and will consider and evaluate alternative solutions.
    • Pollution and associated risks arising from specific raw material use will be assessed. Risk-based approaches consistent with the GIIP and EHSGs are required.

    Pollution Prevention and Management

    • Avoid pollutant release, or if not feasible, minimize and control release concentrations and flows (according to national laws or EHSGs) affecting air, water, and land. This includes routine, non-routine, and accidental circumstances and potential local, regional, and transboundary impacts.
    • Historical pollution requiring remediation will be assessed for responsibility and risks to human health/the environment. A documented assessment of responsible party(ies) is required. Remediation will prioritize the use of international standards/guidelines to comply with national levels, and will consider recourse to third parties when applicable.
    • Remediation/risk assessments must comply with national laws and GIIP standards.
    • Prioritize reuse, recycle, and recover waste whenever possible. Appropriate treatment, destruction, safe, environmentally sound disposal of unavoidable waste.
    • Comply with national and international conventions for hazardous waste management.
    • Include consideration of specific waste types like municipal, e-waste, & animal waste.
    • A risk assessment to identify and manage the potential risks associated with the project's impact on the environment & human health, including local, regional, & transboundary impacts, is required. Historical pollution requiring remediation must include a health and safety risk assessment of existing pollution.
    • Remediation of historical sites will comply with all relevant national/international regulations. Establish responsibility for any historical pollution, accounting for both domestic and international factors.
    • Third party parties responsible for historical pollution should be considered. All remediation and risk assessments must comply with national laws and GIIP regulations.
    • Specific wastewater generation, transportation, storage, and management must be included in the environmental assessment.

    Air Pollution Management

    • The Borrower will consider alternatives and implement feasible options for minimizing project emissions during all project phases (design, construction, operation) using efficient practices and consideration of all relevant factors including existing conditions, potential cumulative impacts, assimilative capacity, projected land uses, biodiversity, irreversible impacts, and climate change.
    • Air pollutant sources will be characterized and estimated where appropriate. This includes an estimate of gross GHG emissions, a measure of pollution and potential future trends, which must be produced by the Borrower wherever practical. The bank will provide assistance to the borrower in cases where it’s not practical.
    • This estimate is not required for small or diverse sources, low-emission projects (social protection, education, community driven development or projects with insignificant emissions).
    • Operations must be benchmarked with available industry standards, and potential environmental or health concerns. A cumulative risk assessment is required.

    Hazardous and Non-hazardous Waste Management

    • Avoid generation of hazardous/non-hazardous waste.
    • Prioritize reuse, recycle, and recovery where possible. Safe, environmentally sound, appropriate waste treatment, destruction, or disposal methods are required.
    • Comply with national and international conventions for hazardous waste handling (including storage, transportation, and disposal). Use of national legislation and international conventions/agreements must be met. Use of GIIP used as alternative measure where national standards are absent.
    • Include consideration of specific waste types like municipal, e-waste, and animal waste and hazardous waste.

    Pesticide Management

    • Preference for IPM or IVM approaches for pest management where appropriate.
    • Assessments of associated risks (intended use, involved parties) are required.
    • Pesticides/formulations restricted internationally, or posing unacceptable risks to human health/environment (e.g., carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity) must not be used.
    • Pesticide use must comply with EHSGs and relevant international standards/codes of conduct. Consider alternatives to avoid hazardous pesticides
    • Pesticide selection criteria include minimal impact on human health/the environment, minimal adverse human health effects, effectiveness, minimal effect on nontarget species, and prevention of resistance development in pests. Pesticide use must consider the potential health implications for surrounding communities and any potential transboundary impacts.

    Pest Management Plan (PMP)

    • A PMP is required for projects posing significant pest management issues, including new land use changes, cultivation/production or diversification, and those involving high financing for pesticide use.
    • PMPs may be integrated into an Environmental and Social Compliance Plan (ESCP), if appropriate.
    • PMP preparation is not required for malaria control/insecticides for intradomiciliary spraying.
