PROJECTS DROPPED FROM LENDING PROGRAM 136 - 137 I i AND PROJECTS SIGNED 1' Secretary's Department I I i l --------------------------~r----; - V - INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS APPLIED TO BANK AND IDA PROPOSED PROJECTS In October 1989 the Bank established a specific policy and procedures for environmental assessment and related environmental analyses of IBRD and IDA lending operations. Under this environmental assessment process, the type, timing and main issues of environmental analysis to be performed by the borrower are to be confirmed at the time that a given lending operation is initiated into the Bank's prospective lending program and thereafter reported and updated on a quarterly basis in the Monthly Operational Summary. In October 1991 the Bank revised its policies and procedures so that projects are now assigned one of the following categories based upon the nature, magnitude, and sensitivity of environmental issues: Category A Environmental Assessment is normally required as the project may have adverse and significant environmental impa·cts. · Category B More limited environmental analysis is appropriate, as the project may have specific environmental impacts . Category C .Environmental analysis is normally unnecessary. The i991 revision also introduced the use of a standard environmental data sheet for all projects .to identify the main issues and schedule for any required environmental analysis. Project descriptions in every issue of the Monthly Operational Summary include the environmental category. On a quarterly basis (in January, April, July and October issues) the Monthly Operational Summary contains an environmental annex.,which includes the environmental data sheets for Category A projects and data~sheet headers for specific Category B projects. - ------ - ----- --------- - 1 - ber Country, Amount & Lementing Probable Stage of Processing and llCY I Lender 2 Project • Consulting Services Action on Procurement,• I.
