World Bank WBG World Bank Group Ecocentra vii Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Executive Summary – Non-Technical Summary ES1. Introduction The massive Port of Beirut (PoB) explosion on August 4, 2020 resulted in over 200 fatalities, more than 6,000 injured, and 300,000 people displaced with 40% of Beirut city residences shattered. In addition to causing extensive damage to homes, businesses, infrastructure, and disrupting the city’s economic activity, the explosion created multiple environmental challenges. Physical damage to the environment sector were assessed between US$20 - 25 million and the recovery and reconstruction needs were estimated at US$75 - 100 million. In response to this, the Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration and Waste Management Program was launched. The program is financed by Lebanon Financing Facility (LFF) - a multi donor trust fund administered by the World Bank and is being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in close coordination with the Ministry of Environment (MoE). Program activities are expected to directly benefit an estimated 350,000 individuals (7.1% of the Lebanese population) living in Beirut, through the (1) containment and disposal of asbestos-contaminated debris generated from the Beirut explosion and which is stored and/or dumped at Bakalian site in Beirut and (2) rehabilitation and sustainable operation of damaged solid waste infrastructure. In addition, the policy and institutional support will provide necessary enabling framework for Beirut’s reconstruction agenda, which will benefit larger population. Several environmental and social instruments have been developed for the Program to ensure alignment with World Bank, UNDP and national standards. They are found below: • Environmental and Social Framework (ESMF). • Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). • Labor Management Plan (LMP). • Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) • Sexual Exploitation and Abuse/Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Plan (SEA/SH PRP). One of the activities under this program is the Rehabilitation of the Karantina Sorting Facility (KSF), which was badly damaged by the explosion and is currently not operational. The owner of the facility is the Republic of Lebanon (Municipality of Beirut) and the Operator will be a private solid waste contractor who will be contracted by the Municipality through a competitive bidding process. The KSF has a capacity of 1,800 tons/day to mainly serve both Beirut City and Metn Caza. The explosion rendered the facility dysfunctional, and all the waste generated in the region is being disposed of at two landfills in Costa Brava and Jdeideh which are still designated as sanitary landfill located along the coast of Beirut. This situation, in addition to being unsustainable, is rapidly consuming available landfill capacity. ES2. Applicable Legal Framework, Standards and Guidelines For a list of the public institutions that will be involved in or have a mandate related to rehabilitation of the KSF, refer to Section 3.1 in the Program ESMF. All environmental and social national laws, regulations and standards relevant to the Project are present in Section 3.2 in the Program ESMF. Since publication of the ESMF, Decree 11226/2023 has been issued on official minimum wage for employees and workers. The World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), which is considered international best practice, uses a risk-based approach that applies increased oversight and Ecocentra 8 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility resources to complex projects and promotes increased responsiveness to changes in project circumstances through adaptive risk management and stakeholder engagement. The ESF uses ten Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) that are designed to support environmental and social risk management. The relevant and applicable ESSs to the Project are as follows: • ESS1: Assessment and Management of Environmental Risks and Impacts • ESS2: Labor and Working Condition • ESS3: Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management • ESS4: Community Health and Safety • ESS10: Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure Several Environmental and Social (E&S) instruments have been prepared for the program in accordance with applicable Environmental and Social Standards of the World Bank ESF. These are the ESMF, LMP, SEP, ESCP and the SEA/SH PRP. The applicable WBG Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines (available at www.ifc.org/EHSguidelines) to the project are the EHS General Guidelines and the EHSGs for Waste Management Facilities (URLs provided in Annex). For the standards and international commitments applicable to the project these are present in the ESMF. ES3. Description of the Proposed Project The project aims at the rehabilitation of the KSF, which has a capacity of 1,800 tons/day to mainly serve both Beirut City and Metn Caza. Due to the limitation of funds, the rehabilitation of the facility will be executed in two phases as follows: • Phase 1 (50% capacity)- Partial Rehabilitation of the Karantina Sorting Facility (900-1000 tons/day): Rehabilitation of three sorting lines (1, 2 and 3), which are located in Zone 1. Each sorting line has a capacity of 300 tons/day. Rehabilitation of Zones 1, 2, 3 (partially), 7, 8 and 9 will also take place during this phase. Dismantling of the baling equipment present in Zone 3 and storing them temporarily in Zone 4 will be executed. • Phase 2 (100% capacity)- Completion of the Karantina Sorting Facility Rehabilitation to reach its full capacity (1,800 tons/day); the remaining sorting lines (4, 5 and 6) and zones (4, 5 and 6) along with the remaining part of Zone 3 will be rehabilitated during this phase. Rehabilitation Phase: The rehabilitation process at KSF will include the following works: Dismantling sub-stage: Site works including dismantling of steel structures, demolition of damaged concrete structures and block walls using an excavator, localized excavation in existing slab-on-grade, and localized backfilling works. Re-construction and equipping sub-stage: Architectural works including aluminium, wood, tiling, flooring, painting and sanitary works; Structural steel works; Reinforced concrete works; Mechanical works including air conditioning systems, ventilation systems, water supply systems, drainage systems, fuel (diesel) tanks and fire protection system (installation of fire extinguishers and fire suppression); Electrical works; Infrastructure works including rehabilitation/fixation of the existing fuel tank or addition/construction of a new fuel tank; inspection of domestic water networks, cleaning of sewage network, cleaning of storm network including piping, manholes and trenches and Equipment for the process such as sorting lines, baling and wrapping lines. Ecocentra 9 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Operation phase The facility includes a weight and management building in Zone 7 and a receiving and sorting hall (Zone 1) which includes six sorting lines. The commingled waste is delivered to the facility by municipal trucks to the receiving area and is directly transferred to the bag openers which represents the start of the waste sorting process at the sorting lines. After passing through the bag opener the waste is transferred via conveyor belts to a trommel screen. The trommel screen separates the fine sized waste from the bulky waste. The fine sized waste, which represents the organic waste, are then conveyed to the polishing line which is located in Zone 4 which are then directly transferred, by trucks, to the Coral Composting Plant, whereas the bulky waste continues its path to reach the manual sorting line in Zone 1. Workers retrieve manually the recyclables once the comingled waste reaches the manual sorting line which is surrounded by chutes used by the workers to drop-off the manually retrieved recyclables. Afterwards, the waste reaches a magnetic separator followed by an eddy current separator. Finally, the remaining waste (which are rejects) reaches the bailing hall which is located in Zone 3, which are then transferred to the Jdeideh Sanitary Landfill. Recyclables wastes are then compressed in the baling hall (Zone 3) to allow easier transportation out of the facility. The recyclables will be stored temporarily on-site, then sold to traders of recyclables. ES4. Baseline Environmental and Social Conditions Physical environment Location and Topography The KSF (33°54'9.35"N; 35°32'4.15"E) is located in the northeastern part of Beirut Caza within the Karantina area (Figure 4-1). The KSF is located on a plot owned by Beirut Municipality at around 9 meters above sea level (a.s.l). Geology The geologic formations at the KSF belong to the Tertiary geologic system which includes the Miocene (M2a) and the middle Miocene (M2b). Miocene M2a is divided into continental and marine division. The Middle Miocene (M2b) includes reefal limestone. The soil at the KSF is a mixed soil on marl with bedded limestone. Hydrogeology and Water Bodies According to Lebanon’s National Physical Master Plan, the Project area does not contain any groundwater aquifers which are considered at risk. As for surface water body is the Beirut River which is around 333 m from the KSF. The Beirut River springs from the Western slopes of Mount Lbanon and continues to flow westwards for about 20 km. The river ultimately discharges into the Mediterranean Sea in the Karantina area. The total area of Beirut River watershed is 228 km. The main cause of water quality impairment in the river was due to contribution of point sources, largely from sewage discharge. The distance between the Mediterranean Sea and the KSF is around 727 m. No springs are present within or near the Project area. Air Quality The Medawar area that includes Karantina suffers from severe odor pollution. The odors emanating from Jdeideh landfill have deteriorated the air quality of the region and consequently affected Karantina area. Dangerous rates of Hydrogen Sulfide emanating from the landfill have reached 51 micrograms per cubic meter threatening the health of residents in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the vicinity of the study area hosts other sources of air pollution and odour emissions. This is due to the operation of the tanning industries, food industries, open air cement batching factory, the movement of the vehicles transporting fuel, entering and exiting the port area, the solid waste sorting facilities, the various commercial Ecocentra 10 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility activities and traffic. In 2018, a study by Abdallah et al. used the National Air Quality Monitoring Network data of 2014, as well as data from a long-term monitoring campaign, to assess an air quality modelling system. The results for Beirut simulation were included in this report. Noise Unregulated installation of diesel generators in Karantina to make up for daily power outages leads to rising levels of noise and air pollution. Moreover, frequent traffic congestion is also a source of noise in Karantina. Noise measurements were undertaken by Ecocentra as part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of the Daoura/Bourj Hammoud Wastewater Treatment Plant Feasibility Study in 2021. The results of noise levels are found in this report. Average noise levels were below the national noise limits for an industrial area. Natural Environment The project is located on built-up land within the boundaries of the existing Karantina Facility. Some trees and shrubs were observed at the entrance and surrounding the KSF premises, these include Eucalyptus, Ailanthus, Ficus and some ornamental bushes such as the Bougainvillea. In addition, some bananas were planted at the entrance and near the workers’ service building. The entire Beirut River is considered a protected natural site. This river is considered highly degraded and all areas around it are urbanized and densely populated. The Mediterranean Sea close to KSF is part of the St. George Canyon. Various types of habitats along with their associated marine species were observed at the St. George Canyon. Of the fourteen proposed Marine Protected Areas in Lebanon, the closest to the Project area is the Beirut Port Outer Platform which is an artificial site. Socio economic environment Land Use/Land Cover The KSF is located in an infrastructure/industrial area (land use/land cover map found in this report). Karantina is located east of the PoB and adjacent to the North-South highway. It is a low-income commercial and semi-industrial neighborhood. The surrounding areas to the KSF include the PoB from the seaside (which includes a Truck Transportation Service), two military barracks, commercial facilities such as the Porsche showroom and service center, several car garages and an area for storing vegetable plastic boxes, a shipping and forwarding company, nearby residential buildings. No camps in Karantina area. Infrastructure services The provision of electricity services is not distributed evenly throughout Beirut, especially between the city center and suburbs such as Karantina, which is part of Administrative Beirut. Sewerage systems are present in the Medawar region that includes Karantina but require maintenance. Karantina is not connected to the rest of Beirut through the public transportation system; even informal transportation systems do not go inside the neighborhood. Due to its location near the port and the presence of numerous warehouses and industrial enterprises that directly service the port, Karantina experiences a high load of incoming traffic from truck drivers. Socio economic environment Karantina has an estimated population of 2,500 people residing in an area of less than one square kilometer. A total of 114 Syrian refugees are registered in Medawar cadaster, which includes Karantina. Ecocentra 11 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility The population of Karantina includes Lebanese (53%), Syrians (45%) and a minority of Ethiopians, Sudanese, and Palestinians. Karantina is one of the closest areas to the PoB explosion site and, as a result, has sustained the highest level of physical destruction and loss of life. The majority of houses in Karantina have been severely damaged by the explosion while many businesses were completely or partially destroyed. In addition, the explosion has affected poor and vulnerable populations such as children, women, persons with disabilities, the elderly, refugees and migrant workers which were already facing increased vulnerability due to the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Sensitive Receptors Categories considered as sensitive receptors during rehabilitation and operation of the KSF are schools, hospitals, closest residential buildings, commercial shops including garages and car showrooms, flour mills, community centers and parks and military barracks. The location of these sensitive receptors in reference to the KSF does not exceed the distance of 400 meters . A sensitive receptors map for the different sensitive receptors near the KSF is included in this report. ES5.

Consultation, Disclosure and GRM A stakeholder consultation session was held at “Al Mir’ab, Block B” located in Karantina Area on Monday, 13 November 2023 from 11:00 am till 12:30 pm. The purpose of the session was to inform the stakeholders, including NGOs, local residents and the public about the project, the planned activities and the developed ESMP to take into account their concerns and feedback. The hearing was organized in coordination with UNDP and Beirut Municipality to ensure proper representation of various communities. Over 65 persons and entities were invited to the session (an email and WhatsApp invitations were sent 7 days prior to the session). They included members of the relevant public institutions, NGOs, private sector and local community representatives. Nine people participated in the meeting including three women. Four attendees were from Environmental NGOs, one attendant from an academic institution, two attendees were from the private sector, one attendant was from the Ecocentra 21 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Karantina Development Committee which is composed from the local community and one attendant was representing an international organization. During the session, different concerns and questions were raised by the attendees and are as follows: • Ensure the activities in this facility will only be limited to waste sorting and not incineration or fermentation. • Importance of recruiting local residents living in Karantina area during the rehabilitation and operation phases. • If scope of the ESMP covers only the rehabilitation of the presented zones and if it includes the terms of reference for the contractor for the rehabilitation and the operation. • If the contaminated demolition waste at the Bakalian are covered under this project. • Emphasize the importance to have a WhatsApp number for grievances. • Energy used for the operation and the possibility to use renewable energy such as solar energy. • Awareness campaign for sorting organic waste. • The timeline of the rehabilitation process. • If the Facility has its private solid waste transportation trucks. Detailed discussions and responses during the session, invitation letter and email sent, list of invitees, attendees, public consultation presentation as well as photos from the public consultation were included in the report. A GM effectively addresses grievances or answers any sort of questions from the affected stakeholders as well as the project workers. For that purpose, three GMs have been established for the LFF - Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration & Waste Management Program (P176635): a GM for the project, one targeting workers and another for SEA/SH incidents. Information about the GM can be found on the following link in English and Arabic: https://www.undp.org/lebanon/projects/beirut-critical-environment-recovery- restoration-and-waste-management-program. All the attendees of the public hearing were informed about this mechanism and its different channels. The procedures of the project workers grievance mechanism and the SEA/SH Grievance Mechanism are found in this report (Refer to section 10).

Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 1. Introduction The massive Port of Beirut (PoB) explosion on August 4, 2020 resulted in over 200 fatalities, more than 6,000 injured, and 300,000 people displaced with 40% of Beirut city residences shattered (El Sayed et al., 2022). In addition to causing extensive damage to homes, businesses, infrastructure, and disrupting the city’s economic activity, the explosion created multiple environmental challenges. Physical damage to the environment sector were assessed between US$20 - 25 million and the recovery and reconstruction needs were estimated at US$75 - 100 million (World Bank, 2020). In response to this, the Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration and Waste Management Program was launched. The program is financed by Lebanon Financing Facility (LFF) - a multi donor trust fund administered by the World Bank and is being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in close coordination with the Ministry of Environment (MoE). Program activities are expected to directly benefit an estimated 350,000 individuals (7.1% of the Lebanese population) living in Beirut (CAS, 2020b), through the (1) containment and disposal of asbestos-contaminated debris generated from the Beirut explosion and which is stored and / or dumped at Bakalian site in Beirut and (2) rehabilitation and sustainable operation of damaged solid waste infrastructure. In addition, the policy and institutional support will provide necessary enabling framework for Beirut’s reconstruction agenda, which will benefit larger population. Several environmental and social instruments have been developed for the Program to ensure alignment with World Bank, UNDP and national standards. They are found below: • Environmental and Social Framework (ESMF). • Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP). • Labor Management Procedures (LMP). • Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP). • Sexual Exploitation and Abuse/Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response Plan (SEA/SH PRP). One of the activities under this program is the Rehabilitation of the Karantina Sorting Facility (KSF), which was badly damaged by the explosion and is currently inoperational. The owner of the facility is the Republic of Lebanon (Municipality of Beirut) and the Operator will be a private solid waste contractor who will be contracted by the Municipality through a competitive bidding process. The KSF has a capacity of 1,800 tons/day to mainly serve both Beirut City and Metn Caza. The explosion rendered the facility dysfunctional, and all the waste generated in the region is being disposed of at two landfills in Costa Brava (33°48'51.79"N; 35°28'46.54"E) and Jdeideh (33°54'3.55"N; 35°33'24.95"E) which are still designated as sanitary landfills located along the coast of Beirut and at around 17.8 Km and 2 Km respectively from the KSF. This situation, in addition to being unsustainable, is rapidly consuming available landfill capacity. 1.1 Objectives of the Project The project aims at the rehabilitation of the KSF and ensuring its continuity and sustainable operation, noting that the KSF was operating normally before the PoB blast. This project’s activities are expected to directly benefit an estimated 350,000 individuals (7.1% of the Lebanese population) living in Beirut through the rehabilitation and sustainable operation of damaged MSW infrastructure. The population of the Metn Caza (estimated at 511,000 Ecocentra 38 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility residents (CAS, 2020a)) are also expected to directly benefit from the rehabilitation of KSF. The indirect beneficiaries of the project will be all inhabitants of Mount Lebanon (2,032,600 individuals) through improvement of sanitary conditions in the area. To achieve the project objectives, the following activities will be implemented: • Activity 1: Detailed damage assessment of the KSF which was seriously damaged by the PoB explosion followed by a detailed rehabilitation design(s) and specifications (civil, mechanical, electrical and others) for the facility. • Activity 2: Rehabilitation of the KSF. Activity 1, which included detailed damage assessment for the KSF, Rehabilitation Conceptual design, and Detailed Design Package, was completed by the design consultant Laceco retained by UNDP. The activity was undertaken in different stages as follows: • Detailed damage assessment and respective report completed in May 2023 • Concept Design including rehabilitation scenarios and related budgets completed in August 2023 • Detailed Design of the selected scenario (50% capacity of the KSF) along with tender specifications and related bill of quantities (BOQ) completed in September 2023 Activity 2 will be launched once the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for this project has been completed and approved by both the MoE and World Bank and the C- ESMP prepared and approved by the UNDP PMU supervising engineer. Due to the limitation of funds under the LFF, the rehabilitation of the facility will be executed in two phases as follows: • Phase 1 (50% capacity) - Partial Rehabilitation of the Karantina Sorting Facility: Rehabilitation of three sorting lines and several operation zones within the facility. The expected timeframe for Phase 1 completion is 12 months. • Phase 2 (100% capacity) - Completion of the Karantina Sorting Facility Rehabilitation to reach its full capacity including the remaining sorting lines (3 lines) and operation zones. The expected timeframe for Phase 2 completion is 12 months. This phase will not involve any change in solid waste sorting technology nor in the project concept. 1.2 Purpose and Content of the ESMP The purpose of this ESMP is to assess the environmental and social risks associated with the rehabilitation and operation of the KSF which was damaged by the PoB explosion and that the rehabilitation activities are in line with MoE, WB Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and the ESMF for the Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration and Waste Management Program. The ESMP is required to undergo a consultation process with relevant stakeholders once completed and prior to approval in line with the ESF ESS10 requirements and the ESMF. This document constitutes the ESMP for this project and is separated into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 consists of the introduction and general information of the project background, objectives, and scope of the ESMP. Chapter 2 presents the relevant policy, legal, and institutional framework, applicable environmental and social standards and guidelines and international conventions and treaties relevant to the Project.

Ecocentra 45 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 3. Project Description The project aims at the rehabilitation of the KSF, which has a capacity of 1,800 tons/day to mainly serve both Beirut City and Metn Caza. The total area of the facility is 17,785 m2 and its layout is presented in Figure 3-1. Due to the limitation of funds under the LFF, the rehabilitation of the facility will be executed in two phases as follows: • Phase 1 (50% capacity)- Partial Rehabilitation of the Karantina Sorting Facility: Rehabilitation of three sorting lines (1, 2 and 3), which are located in Zone 1, will take place while leveraging existing equipment on site. Each sorting line has a capacity of 300 tons/day. Rehabilitation of Zones 1, 2, 3 (partially), 7, 8 and 9 will also take place during this phase. Dismantling of the baling equipment present in Zone 3 and storing them temporarily in Zone 4 will be executed. The zones that will be rehabilitated as part of this phase are presented in Figure 3-2. • Phase 2 (100% capacity)- Completion of the Karantina Sorting Facility Rehabilitation to reach its full capacity; the remaining sorting lines (4, 5 and 6) and zones (4, 5 and 6) along with the remaining part of Zone 3 will be rehabilitated during this phase. After completion of Phase 1, the Karantina facility will operate with a capacity of 900-1000 tons/day. However, once the Karantina sorting facility is fully rehabilitated (Phase 2), it will operate at full capacity (1,800 tons/day). The expected timeframe for each phase is expected to be around 12 months. However, completion of Phase 2 is dependent on the availability of funding.

Ecocentra 48 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 3.1 Rehabilitation Phase The rehabilitation process at KSF will include the following works: Dismantling sub-stage: • Site works including dismantling of steel structures (steel trusses, mezzanine, platforms, etc.), demolition of damaged concrete structures and block walls using an excavator, localized excavation in existing slab-on-grade, and localized backfilling works. Re-construction and equipping sub-stage: • Architectural works including aluminium works (doors and windows), wood works, tiling works, flooring works, painting works, partition walls and sanitary works. • Structural steel works including steel columns and truss beams, connecting plates, steel roof purlins and wall and roof sheeting. • Reinforced concrete works including repair of existing concrete walls and columns, existing slab-on-grade and foundation and damaged slabs (including damaged roof slabs) in addition to new concrete walls and columns (replacement) and new slap-on- grade (replacement). • Mechanical works including air conditioning systems, ventilation systems in industrial zones and Waste Process Halls and for buildings and rooms, water supply systems and plumbing fixtures, drainage systems, fuel (diesel) tanks and fire protection system (installation of fire extinguishers and fire suppression). • Electrical works including power/electrical supply network (cables and cable trays), Power Generators (repair of existing power generators), installation of two 1000 KVA transformer substations as well as the installation of Scada system, Main Switchboards (MDBs), Distribution Panel boards (DBs), Uninterruptible Power Supply Systems (UPS), Lighting, sockets, and switches, Scada system, Telecom network, Fire Alarm System and Lightning and earthing system. • Infrastructure works including rehabilitation/fixation of the existing fuel tank or addition/construction of a new fuel tank with a capacity of 11,000L; inspection of domestic water networks to identify any signs of damage, blockages, or malfunctioning components, cleaning of sewage network including piping, manholes and inspection chambers, cleaning of storm network including piping, manholes and trenches. • Equipment for the process such as sorting lines, baling and wrapping lines. 3.1.1 Resources, Utilities and Infrastructure 3.1.1.1 Project Staff The number of expected workers during the peak period of rehabilitation is 50 per day including project engineers, unskilled and skilled workers. Workers are expected to work for one shift per day, 8 working hours/shift. Moreover, no workers will reside on-site. 3.1.1.2 Water Supply and Demand Water is supplied to the KSF through the existing public water supply network. In addition, truck re-fill connections are provided to allow filling of water storage tanks by water delivery trucks in the event of non-availability of city water supply. A maximum of 50 labour and staff Ecocentra 49 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility are expected to be present on site per day, utilizing 5 m3 of fresh water. Additionally, 2 m3 of water /day are expected to be used for basic construction water needs (excluding the water needed for ready mix concrete – outside the Facility). Hence, the total estimated quantity of water needed for the rehabilitation phase for domestic use is 5-7 m3/day. The KSF has an existing underground domestic water tank of approximate capacity of 20,000L. Roof tanks are also present at the facility including: • One tank on the roof of the Operation Building • Four tanks on the roof of the Workers Service Building • One tank on the roof of the Weight and Management Building • One tank and its booster pump on the roof of the cafeteria next to the incinerator zone Transfer pumps are used to transfer water from underground water tank to roof tanks. The existing water tanks were inspected and assessed to be in good condition. Hence, there is no need for any repair or replacement of such tanks. Only pipes and valves are needed and included in the BOQ and total budget. 3.1.1.3 Power Supply During the rehabilitation phase, a portable generator (100 KVA) to be provided by the Contractor for basic services until the Facility’s four existing generators are fixed and brought back to operation, with a portable refillable fuel tank of a minimum of 1,000 litres. 3.1.1.4 Wastewater Management The workers on-site are expected to use the existing toilets within the facility (which are connected to the municipal sewage system) after their repair which is expected to be completed within the first month of the rehabilitation activities. In the meantime, porta-cabin toilets would be supplied at the early stage of the rehabilitation works. The domestic wastewater collected from the porta-cabin will be regularly disposed of in the existing sewer network. If this is not technically possible, then domestic wastewater will be transferred to the nearest wastewater treatment plant through an authorized contractor. 3.1.1.5 Fire Safety and Protection Equipment During the rehabilitation phase, portable fire extinguishers will be supplied and placed near flammable materials (i.e. paints and fuel) and near any activity which might have a fire risk (i.e welding activities).. 3.1.1.6 Management of Excavated Material The excavation works will be localized and limited (selected footings). Generally, the excavated materials might be re-used as backfilling materials only if complying with fill requirements / specifications of this project which is specified as well graded. Relevant Tests will be done on site. The quantity of excavation is expected to be around 730 m3 and the quantity of fill is expected to be around 610 m3. As for the demolition waste, it cannot be re- used as fill materials to this project, as per project requirements and general codes and standards. Approximate estimate of demolished concrete and masonry materials is roughly around 800 m3 (500 R. Concrete + 300 Masonry blocks - based on original volume of existing element). Moreover, it is clearly mentioned in the BOQ that contractor shall cart away the demolished materials to an appropriate licensed disposal site. Ecocentra 50 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 3.1.1.7 Management of Hazardous Waste Hazardous waste includes batteries from the repair of power generators, electronic waste (E- waste), empty chemical containers such as paint and chemical used during the rehabilitation phase, lubricants and oils. Waste batteries are collected in waste battery boxes and stored in at the KSF premises. The used oil, fuel, lubricants, chemicals and paints will be stored in adequately labelled containers. Hazardous wastes are categorized according to their types and labelled adequately until collected by licensed collection companies. 3.1.1.8 Machinery and Equipment Used The minimum machinery and equipment list used during rehabilitation will include the following: • One excavator (small to medium sized) • One manlift (medium to large sized) • One crane truck (medium to large sized) • One bobcat machine • Two trucks (18-20 m3) for material transportation • One pickup truck • One concrete vibrator • Various equipment including but not limited to electric grinder, steel bending machine, electric steel scissors, disk cutters, etc. • One high pressure water jet pump with portable water tank 3.1.2 Planned Rehabilitation Schedule The rehabilitation of KSF is expected to start in January 2024 and to end in December 2024. The tender bidding is expected to start in mid-November 2023. Rehabilitation works will start once the contractor’s construction ESMP (C-ESMP) is approved by UNDP PMU. 3.2 Operation Phase 3.2.1 Waste Sorting Process and Technologies The sorting process will include bag openers, trommel screens, magnetic separators and eddy currents, while only one ballistic separator will be implemented for Line 6 (Figure 3-3). Incineration is not part of the rehabilitation plan. Table 3-1 provides an overview of sorting technologies used at KSF. Ecocentra 51 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 3-3: Waste Separation Process in Lines 1 to 5 at KSP Table 3-1: Overview of Waste Sorting Technologies Sorting Technology Description Trommel screen An angled rotating cylinder with holes that allow waste of a given size to fall through Ballistic Separation A steeply inclined bed with a perforated plate screen deck, with alternate vibrating elements. Light fractions are lifted by cams to the top of the bed, heavy fractions fall to the bottom Magnetic separation Magnets either lift ferrous metal from the waste, or hold ferrous metal to the conveyor while other waste is allowed to drop Eddy current Eddy currents are used to push non-ferrous metals with magnets into separation separate collection points, with non-metallic waste falling into another Manual Sorting Employees are positioned beside the conveyor and manually remove materials either in positive or negative sorting Source: ISWA, 2017 The KSF includes a weight and management building in Zone 7 comprising two weighing points located at the entrance and the exit of the facility (Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5). The facility also has a receiving and sorting hall (Zone 1) which includes six sorting lines consisting of manual sorting and various sorting technologies (Figure 3-6). Ecocentra 52 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 3-4: Weighing Area at the Figure 3-5: Weighing Area at the Exit Entrance of the KSF (Zone 7) of the KSF (Zone 7) Figure 3-6: Receiving and Sorting Hall at KSF (Zone 1) The commingled waste is delivered to the facility by municipal trucks to the receiving area which is located in Zone 1 (Figure 3-7). It is estimated that 150 to 180 trucks will be required to transport the solid waste to the KSF (when operational at full capacity) on a daily basis, and around 120 trucks from the Facility to the composting and landfilling facilities (organic material and rejects), until the Coral Composting Facility becomes operational1, after which organic material will be transported there. The received waste is directly transferred, via excavator/wheeled loader, to the bag openers which represents the start of the waste sorting 1 The rehabilitation of the Coral Composting Facility depends on the availability of funds from the Lebanese Government or donors. As such, the expected times to initiate and complete rehabilitation works cannot be specified at present time. The time frame of the rehabilitation of the Coral Composting Facility should not exceed 12 months. Ecocentra 53 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility process at the sorting lines located in Zone 1. After passing through the bag opener which mechanically opens the bags containing the comingled waste, the waste is transferred via conveyor belts to a trommel screen. The trommel screen, which is an angled rotating cylinder with holes that allow waste of a given size to fall through, separates the fine sized waste (which falls through the trommel holes) from the bulky waste. The fine sized waste, which represents the organic waste, are then conveyed to the polishing line (Figure 3-8) which is located in Zone 4 which are then directly transferred, by trucks, to the Coral Composting Plant, whereas the bulky waste continues its path to reach the manual sorting line in Zone 1 (Figure 3-7). Ecocentra 54 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 3-7: Manual Waste Sorting Location (Zone 1) Figure 3-8: Polishing Line at Zone 4 Workers retrieve manually the recyclables once the comingled waste reaches the manual sorting line which is surrounded by chutes which are openings used by the workers to drop- off the manually retrieved recyclables. Afterwards, the waste reaches a magnetic separator followed by an eddy current separator. This ensures that the ferrous and non-ferrous metals Ecocentra 55 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility that have not been manually retrieved are captured by the magnetic separators (for ferrous metals) and eddy current separators (non-ferrous metals). Finally, the remaining waste (which are rejects) reaches the bailing hall which is located in Zone 3, which are then transferred to the Jdeideh Sanitary Landfill. Recyclables wastes are then compressed in the baling hall (Zone 3) to allow easier transportation out of the facility (Figure 3-9). The recyclables will be stored temporarily on-site, then sold to off-takers, i.e. traders of recyclables who buy recyclables from the facility operator and sell them to recyclers. The traders of recyclables or recyclers are formal. The modalities of selling recyclables to formal traders or recyclers are basically 2 types as follows: • Modality 1: The operator (contractor) of the facility looks for formal markets and arranges and negotiates agreements with formal traders or recyclers for selling the recyclables that result from the sorting activities. • Modality 2: The formal traders or recyclers contact the facility operator (contractor) and negotiate agreements for buying/off taking the recyclables. The estimated output fractions of sorted waste include 10-15% recyclables, 50-55% organics and 35-40% rejects for landfilling, according to the consultant Laceco, who was the consultant supervising the KSF operation prior to the PoB. Figure 3-9: Baling Hall at the KSF (Zone 3) It is to be noted that before the Beirut Port Blast, the facility operated with six sorting lines, consisting of 5 identical lines and a 6th line (sorting line 6) incorporating more advanced technologies to optimize the recyclables recovery efficiency. With these six lines, the facility had the capacity to process 1,800 tons of MSW per day. In addition to the process described above, sorting line 6 includes a ballistic separator (Figure 3-10), where a separation between light 2D (papers, plastic) and 3D heavy weight material occurs. Ecocentra 56 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 3-10: Sorting Line 6 (Zone 1) In addition, the facility includes a control room (Zone 2) (Figure 3-11), a maintenance hall for repairing sorting equipment (Zone 5) (Figure 3-12), operation building (Figure 3-13) which is assigned for the operator’s employees, it includes the administrator offices (Figure 3-14) and toilets (Zone 6), workers service building which is used as a resting area for the workers and includes toilets (Zone 8) (Figure 3-15) and a vehicles maintenance space for repairing trucks (Zone 9).

Workers are expected to work for one shift per day (8 working hours/shift). Two working shifts are expected to take place per day (16 hours/day). It is expected that 90-100 labor for 50% capacity (1,000 tons/day) is needed in each shift (2 shifts / day) excluding the administrative and operation staff, maintenance team (mechanical, electriccal, etc.), drivers, and security persons which overall number of the latter varies between 20-25 persons (for 50% capacity and 2 shifts). At full capacity (100%; 1,800-2,000 Ecocentra 60 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility tons per day), the labor requirement is estimated to range between 180-200 labor in each shift. For 100% operation (1,800-2,000 tons/day, the staff and personnel including administrative and operation staff, maintenance team (mechanical, electriccal, etc.), drivers, and security persons will vary between 25-35 persons (for 2 shifts). 3.2.2.2 Water Supply and Demand Water is supplied to the KSF through the existing municipal external water line. On the other hand, truck fill connections are provided to allow filling of water storage tanks by water delivery trucks in the event of non-availability of city water supply. As mentioned previously, water is stored in an underground existing domestic water tank of approximate capacity of 20,000L. Roof tanks are also present at the facility including: • One tank on the roof of the Operation Building • Four tanks on the roof of the Workers Service Building • One tank on the roof of the Weight and Management Building • One tank and its booster pump on the roof of the cafeteria next to the incinerator zone Transfer pumps are used to transfer water from underground water tank to roof tanks. During the operation phase, three additional water tanks of 2,400 Liters each, may be supplied and connected. 3.2.2.3 Power Supply The KSF has two 1,000 KVA transformers, located in Zone 6, which supply power to the facility. The four existing diesel generators that will be repaired include three with a capacity of 650 KVA each and one with a capacity of 1,000 KVA (Figure 3-16). Two above ground fuel tanks are currently available within the facility. One has a capacity of 7,000 L and the other has a capacity of around 1,000 L. The fuel tanks are located near the existing generators. In addition, one above ground fuel tank with 11,000-L capacity will be installed during the rehabilitation phase Ecocentra 61 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 3-16: Existing Generators at KSF 3.2.2.4 Fire Safety and Protection Equipment A Fire Protection System will be established for the Operation Phase of the KSF. It consists of Portable Fire Extinguishers such as 4.5kg Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers, which will be installed throughout the buildings and 5 kg CO2 Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers, which will be installed in electrical rooms. In addition, a clean agent system shall be designed and installed. As for the Automatic Sprinkler System, the hazard of contents of KSF is classified as Ordinary Hazard according to NFPA 101-6.1.12 ed.2018. Specifically, industrial occupancy of the plant is subclassified as General Industrial Occupancy. As a consequence, the plant does not require the installation of an automatic sprinkler system. The Extinguishing System will include a fire hose station comprised of 25mm fire hose reel. More information on the Fire Protection System can be found in Annex 1. The existing fuel tanks that were mentioned in Section 4.2.2.3 are exposed and shaded. However, a fire protection system could not be applied for these storage tanks since NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code published by the National Fire Protection Association only applies this code to enclosed tanks. As the fuel tanks already exist and are exposed and shaded, and since only fire extinguisher(s) were provided before the blast, the same concept will be adopted knowing that no information in the code specifies the number of extinguishers according to size. The fuel tanks (main of 7,000L and daily of 1,000L), are designed with a pre-existing black steel construction. Both tanks are situated outdoors within a shaded area. Safety measures include the placement of a 55-pound wheeled fire extinguisher nearby to protect from fire and a Ecocentra 62 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility protective elevating metal base under the tank to prevent damage from stray animals/rodents. The stored fuel is diesel oil, monitored by a level indicator, though not integrated into the Building Management System (BMS). 3.2.2.5 Storm Water management A storm water drainage network already exists at the facility. The existing network includes a combination of surface features and underground infrastructure. Surface features mainly consist of open channels, while underground infrastructure includes pipes, catch basins, interceptors, and manholes. Water is collected via the onsite and offsite trench drains and is drained by gravity towards the external existing manhole on the South side of the facility. 3.2.2.6 Wastewater Management The domestic wastewater is discharged into an existing sewer network. The existing sewer network begins with a collection system of underground pipes that connect individual buildings via house connections to the main sewer lines on the South side of the facility. Wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and other drains flows through these pipes. 3.2.2.7 Hazardous Waste Management Hazardous waste includes batteries from the repair of power generators, office laptops, UPS, electronic waste (E-waste), empty oil, lubricants and fuel containers used during the operation phase including maintenance of machinery. Empty insecticides and rodenticides containers could also be generated. Waste batteries are collected in waste battery boxes and stored in at the KSF premises. The used oil, fuel, lubricants, rodenticides and insecticides will be stored in adequately labelled containers. Hazardous wastes are categorized according to their types and labelled adequately until collected by licensed collection companies. Ecocentra 63 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 4. Baseline Conditions Lebanon has suffered from inadequate solid waste mismanagement for decades. It lacks solid waste management plans, which resulted in random disposal, dumping, and open burning of waste. Municipal waste of most municipalities in Lebanon is sent directly to dumpsites and the overall disposal rate is around 80% (44% in landfills and 36% in dumpsites). Poor treatment and poor disposal of solid waste has been estimated to have cost Lebanon USD 200 million in 2018 or 0.4% of its GDP (MoE/UNDP, 2019). MSW management in Lebanon is distributed as follows: 3% is source-sorted, about 65% is received in material recovery facilities while 32% is directly sent to dumpsites. In addition, the total proportion of recovered non-organic materials delivered to the recycling industry is about 6% (UNDP/UNICEF/UNHCR/MoE, 2021). Prior to the PoB explosion, MSW management in the highly populated area surrounding the capital (Beirut, Mount Lebanon and the Caza of Keserwan) consisted of collection of comingled waste followed by material recovery in Amrousieh and Karantina facilities. The organic material recovered from both facilities was partially (22% of total received waste) processed in the Coral Composting plant (which has a capacity of 750 tons/day) and residuals were disposed in the landfills of Burj Hammoud and Costa Brava. The damage to Coral and Karantina facilities, rendering them non-operational, due to the PoB explosion has contributed to a greater burden on the SW sector. Amrousieh facility, even though operational, stopped the diversion of organic material to Coral. (UNDP/UNICEF/UNHCR/MoE, 2021). The sections below present the environmental and social baseline conditions at the site of the KSF and within the project area. 4.1 Physical Environment 4.1.1 Location and Topography The KSF (33°54'9.35"N; 35°32'4.15"E) is located in the northeastern part of Beirut Caza within the Karantina area (Figure 4-1). The KSF is located on a plot owned by Beirut Municipality at around 9 meters above sea level (a.s.l). Ecocentra 64 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 4-1: Location of KSF in Karantina Area, Beirut Caza Ecocentra 65 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 4.1.2 Geology The geologic formations at the KSF belong to the Tertiary geologic system which includes the Miocene (M2a) and the middle Miocene (M2b). Miocene M2a is divided into continental and marine division. The continental is composed of conglomerate and sand with thick mud on top while the marine includes greenish marl, weathers to grey, in parts interbedded with marly limestone. The thickness of this unit varies between 50 meters to more than 100 meters. The Middle Miocene (M2b) includes reefal limestone. They are massive and have a thickness of 150 meters. The soil at the KSF is a mixed soil on marl with bedded limestone. 4.1.3 Hydrogeology and Water Bodies According to Lebanon’s National Physical Master Plan, the Project area does not contain any groundwater aquifers which are considered at risk (CDR, 2005). As for surface water body is the Beirut River which is located around 333 m east of the KSF. The Beirut River springs from the Western slopes of Mount Lebanon at an altitude of 1,890 m. The river continues to flow westwards for about 20 km. It is fed from the natural spring of Ain El Delbi. The river ultimately discharges into the Mediterranean Sea in the Karantina area. The total area of Beirut River watershed is 228 km. One study on the Beirut River showed that the contribution of point sources, largely from sewage discharge, was the main cause of water quality impairment in the river (El-Nakib et al., 2020). The distance between the Mediterranean Sea, which is located north of the facility, and the KSF is around 727 m. No springs are present within or near the Project area. 4.1.4 Climate For information on climate within the project area, refer to Section 2.2.2 in the ESMF. 4.1.5 Air Quality The Medawar area that includes Karantina suffers from severe odor pollution. The odors emanating from Jdeideh landfill have deteriorated the air quality of the region and consequently affected Karantina area. Dangerous rates of Hydrogen Sulfide emanating from the landfill have reached 51 micrograms per cubic meter threatening the health of residents in the surrounding area (Beirut Urban Lab/ACTED/UNHCR, 2021). Furthermore, the vicinity of the study area hosts other sources of air pollution and odour emissions. This is due to the operation of the tanning industries, food industries, open air cement batching factory, the movement of the vehicles transporting fuel, entering and exiting the port area, the solid waste sorting facilities, the various commercial activities and traffic. In 2018, a study (Abdallah et al., 2018) used the National Air Quality Monitoring Network (AQMN) data of 2014, as well as data from a long-term monitoring campaign, to assess an air quality modelling system. The study simulated air quality over Lebanon and Greater Beirut for key gas pollutants including Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Particulate Matter (PM). At the time of the study, the AQMN that was installed and operated by the MoE consisted of five stations, four of which were used in the study, including two urban stations in Beirut (one at the Beirut Pine Forest and the other at the Lebanese University campus in Hadath). The long-term monitoring campaign was conducted simultaneously by the University of Saint Joseph at an urban site within Beirut City at the Beirut Pine Forest, and at a suburban location outside Beirut namely the university campus in Mansourieh. From this study, the results for Beirut simulation showed that for NO2 the modelled annual mean and the observed annual mean concentrations were 30.6 μg/m3 and 48.3 μg/m3, respectively, such that the observed Ecocentra 66 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility concentration was above the WHO recommended value limit (40 μg/m3). As for PM, the PM2.5 averages recorded from the MoE-operated AQMN in 2014 exceeded not only the WHO limits (10 μg/m3) but also the EU limit (25 μg/m3). In addition, the model results suggest that the air quality throughout the whole country exceeds the EU limit (Abdallah et al., 2018). 4.1.6 Noise Unregulated installation of diesel generators in Karantina to make up for daily power outages leads to rising levels of noise and air pollution. Frequent traffic congestion is also a source of noise in Karantina (Beirut Urban Lab, 2022). Noise measurements were undertaken by Ecocentra as part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of the Daoura/Bourj Hammoud Wastewater Treatment Plant Feasibility Study in 2021. The location of the noise measurements (33.899710° 35.540896°) is around 580 meters away from the KSF (Figure 4-2). Results of the noise measurements are presented in Table 4-1. Average noise levels were below the national noise limits for an industrial area as shown in the table below. Table 4-1: Measured Noise Levels at around 580 m from KSF in 2021 Project Standard / Sound Level Values in Point Coordinates Time/Period Noise Limit dB(A) in dB(A) Industrial Area LEQ LMAX L10 L90 Around Day Time 580 33.899710° (07:00- 60-70 55.7 78.7 56.1 49.9 meters 35.540896° 18:00) from KSF Ecocentra 67 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 4-2: Noise Measurement Location Ecocentra 68 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 4.2 Natural Environment The project is located on built-up land within the boundaries of the existing Karantina Facility. Some trees and shrubs were observed at the entrance and surrounding the KSF premises, these include Eucalyptus, Ailanthus, Ficus and some ornamental bushes such as the Bougainvillea (Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4). In addition, some bananas were planted at the entrance and near the workers’ service building. Figure 4-3: Trees inside KSF Figure 4-4: Trees outside KSF (Southeast of the KSF) The entire Beirut River is considered a natural site protected by Decision of the Minister of Environment (Decision 130/1998). However, it should be noted that within the city of Beirut, where the Project activities will be undertaken, this river is considered highly degraded and all areas around it are urbanized and densely populated (El-Nakib et al., 2020). Ecocentra 69 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility The seabed of five areas lying off the Lebanese coast was visually explored by Oceana through a research cruise carried out in coordination with MOE along the Lebanese waters (Aguilar et al., 2018). The Mediterranean Sea close to KSF is part of the St. George Canyon. Various types of habitats along with their associated marine species were observed at the St. George Canyon. In shallow waters, St. George canyon hosted both coralligenous and rhodolith/maado beds. In deep waters, most of the canyon was covered by muds. However, in some steep zones, emergent rocks were visible, from which scyphozoans, serpulids, and solitary stone corals were hanging. On some parts of these rocks, structures like fossil reefs were documented. Two chondrichthyan species that are classified as Near Threatened (Chimaera monstrosa and Dipturus oxyrhincus) were observed (Aguilar et al., 2018). Of the fourteen proposed Marine Protected Areas in Lebanon, the closest to the Project area is the Beirut Port Outer Platform (33°54’29.07” 35°31’17.82”). This proposed Marine Protected area is an artificial site composed concrete structures as well as rocks and boulders of various sizes create artificial caves and crevices which act as an artificial reef. However, it is deep into the sea and over 1.3 km northwest of the sorting facility. 4.3 Socioeconomic Environment 4.3.1 Land Use/ Land Cover The land use distribution at the facility in Karantina found in Figure 4-5 shows that the facility is located in an infrastructure/industrial area. Karantina is located east the PoB and adjacent to the North-South highway. It is a low-income commercial and semi-industrial neighborhood (ACAPS, 2020). The surrounding areas to the KSF include the PoB from the seaside (which includes a Truck Transportation Service), two military barracks, commercial facilities such as the Porsche showroom and service center, several car garages and an area for storing vegetable plastic boxes, a shipping and forwarding company and, nearby residential buildings. No camps are existing in Karantina area. Ecocentra 70 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 4-5: Land Use/Land Cover Map of the KSF Ecocentra 71 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 4.3.2 Infrastructure Services The provision of electricity services is not distributed evenly throughout Beirut, especially between the city center and suburbs such as Karantina, which is part of Administrative Beirut (or the city of Beirut), that hosts low-income housing, migrant workers, refugees and informal sector workers. Prior to the economic crisis, none of the residents needed to purchase water as water was pumped daily to houses. However, due to deteriorating conditions since then, it is unclear if this situation persists. Sewerage systems are present in the Medawar region that includes Karantina but require maintenance as sewage regularly floods the roads during winter. Moreover, wastewater treatment is absent in the area and sewage leaking into the river has led to persistent odors within the surrounding areas (Beirut Urban Lab/ACTED/UNHCR, 2021). Karantina is not connected to the rest of Beirut through the public transportation system; even informal transportation systems do not go inside the neighborhood. These services pass along the Charles Helou highway which bounds Karantina from the South. Public transport pick up or drop off passengers along their routes of transport. Due to its location near the port and the presence of numerous warehouses and industrial enterprises that directly service the port, Karantina experiences a high load of incoming traffic from truck drivers (Beirut Urban Lab, 2022). 4.3.3 Socio-economic Environment Karantina has an estimated population of 2,500 people residing in an area of less than one square kilometer (Beirut Urban Lab, 2022). A total of 114 Syrian refugees are registered in Medawar cadaster, which includes Karantina (UNHCR, 2022). The population of Karantina includes Lebanese (53%), Syrians (45%) and a minority of Ethiopians, Sudanese, and Palestinians (Beirut Urban Lab, 2022). Karantina is one of the closest areas to the PoB explosion site and, as a result, has sustained the highest level of physical destruction and loss of life (UNDP, 2020). The majority of houses in Karantina have been severely damaged by the explosion while many businesses were completely or partially destroyed. In addition, the explosion has affected poor and vulnerable populations such as children, women, persons with disabilities, the elderly, refugees and migrant workers which were already facing increased vulnerability due to the economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic (World Bank. 2020). It is worth noting that while the ESMF of the Beirut Critical Environment, Recovery, Restoration and Solid Waste Management Program states that waste pickers were found at the site of the KSF, that situation was temporary and occurred directly after the explosion as some non-segregated waste may have remained onsite and no waste pickers are now found there. The waste pickers illegally entered the KSF premises to collect the remaining recyclables from non-segregated waste after the PoB explosion. The duration during which the waste pickers were found in the KSF is likely to have been short. The facility has now been secured, by deploying municipal police by Beirut Municipality, in preparation for rehabilitation works. As reported by the deployed municipal police at the KSF, no waste pickers approached or have been approaching them to ask for work. Ecocentra 72 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 4.3.4 Sensitive Receptors Figure 4-6 below shows a sensitive receptors map for the different sensitive receptors near the KSF. Categories considered as sensitive receptors during rehabilitation and operation of the KSF are schools, hospitals, closest residential buildings, commercial shops including garages and car showrooms, flour mills, community centers and parks and military barracks. The location of these sensitive receptors in reference to the KSF does not exceed the distance of 400 meters. 4.3.5 National Prevalence Rates of SEA/SH According to the Gender Statistical Profile that has been disclosed in June 2023 as well as the GBVIMS data of 2022 that has also been disclosed in the same year (2023), women and girls in Lebanon continue to constitute the majority (95%) of survivors of Gender Based Violence (GBV). Female survivors including women and girls continue to face different hardships in their everyday lives due to several contributing factors like the socioeconomic status, traditional and cultural norms, normative concepts of gender, nationality, education status, disability and living or working conditions. The below table represents the percentage of reported incidents among Female Survivors in Lebanon: Table 4-2: Percenges of Reported Incidents among Female Survivors Percentage of Reported Type of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Incidents Among Female Survivors Physical Assault 33% Psychological/Emotional Abuse 32% Sexual Violence (including rape and sexual assault) 16% Forced/Child Marriage 10% Denial of Resources and Opportunities 9% It is also worth noting that the displaced Syrians continue to constitute the majority of the population of recorded GBV incidents in the GBVIMS, accounting for 74 percent of all incidents recorded in 2022.

Environmental and Social Impacts This section describes the methodology that was uniformly applied in this ESMP for this project for the identification and assessment of impacts resulting from implementation of the project throughout its life cycle. It is noted that some of these impacts can be avoided during the early stages of the project through appropriate design and construction management procedures guided through the precautionary principle. The key stages of the applied approach involve: 1. Identification of Project related activities (during both construction and operation phases) that are likely to result in environmental and social impacts (environmental stressors); 2. Identification of the environmental and social features at the area that could be affected by Project activities (environmental receptors); 3. Identification of potential impacts on the physical, biological, and socioeconomic environment (environmental receptors) that may arise from the Project activities during its life cycle; and 4. Assessment and evaluation of potential impacts to determine their significance and subsequently their priority ranking in terms of mitigation based on pre-set criteria. Stages 1 to 3 above relate to the process of identifying potential environmental and social impacts of the project implementation during its life cycle. The following documentation served as basis to this effect: • Technical Requirement Report • Collected baseline information relative to environmental and social settings in target areas where the Project unfolds; and • Literature review of projects similar in nature and size. The following present the criteria used for the assessment and evaluation of impacts in Stage 4 as listed above. First, the potential impacts resulting from the project activities to the physical, biological, and socioeconomic environment are assessed and characterised as per (a) their nature, i.e., beneficial or adverse, and (b) type of induced interaction between the stressors and the receptors (Table 5-1). Table 5-1: Characterization of Nature and Type of Impacts Term Descriptor Impact Evaluation Definition Impacts are considered to improve the baseline condition or introduces a new Beneficial desirable factor. Nature Impacts result in an adverse change of the baseline condition or lead to a new Adverse undesirable factor. Impacts resulting from a direct interaction between a project activity and the Direct Type surrounding environment. Indirect Impacts generated from subsequent interactions within the environment. Ecocentra 75 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Combined impacts that act together with other impacts arising from other Cumulative projects including future developments, to disturb the same environmental receptor or resource. Second, assesses the magnitude and probability of each impact in line with the rating definitions in Table 5-2. Table 5-2: Assessing Magnitude and Likelihood Term Descriptor Rating Definition High Major alteration of natural properties, functions, processes. Magnitude Medium Notable alteration of natural properties, functions, processes. Low Negligible alteration of natural properties, functions, processes. Definite or highly probable (estimated greater than 90% chance of High the impact occurring). Fair chance of occurring (estimated 10% to 90% chance of the Likelihood Medium impact occurring). No chance or unlikely to occur (estimated less than 10% chance of Low the impact occurring.) Finally, Impact Significance Impacts are rated as either Critical, High, Moderate, Low or Critical. Significance Magnitude High Medium Low High High Moderate Moderate Likelihood Medium High Moderate Low Low Moderate Low Low Table 5-3 describes the implications of each significance rating as adopted for this Project. Table 5-3: Description of Impact Significance Results Low: L • No considerable adverse alteration of the existing environment • Low priority mitigation or mitigated through best practices Moderate: • Results in considerable adverse alteration of the existing environment M • Impact is a priority for mitigation to minimize or prevent the significance of the impact High: • Results in considerable adverse alteration of the existing environment H • Project cannot be safely implemented without mitigation measures; compensation or offsetting may be necessary Ecocentra 76 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility As a result, a narrative description of each assessed impact is followed by the table below summarizing the impacts and evaluating their significance in line with the methodology described above. Summary of Impact Assessment Parameter Assessed Impact Nature Type Magnitude Likelihood Significance 5.1 Positive Social Impacts during Rehabilitation Rehabilitation of the Project is an economic opportunity for the selected contractor and their subcontractors. Local businesses may benefit from rehabilitation activities through selling raw materials, equipment, machinery and goods and the project will create jobs and could hire labors from the local population. In fact, hiring local residents is viewed as a compensation for the local community hosting a waste facility within their neighborhood as stated during the public consultation session by a local community representative and should therefore be encouraged. The presence of workers within the communities could increase local business opportunities. This impact is, however, temporary and jobs will be discontinued as soon as rehabilitation works have been completed. As such, potential social impacts are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature B Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M Ecocentra 77 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 5.2 Negative Environmental Impacts during Rehabilitation 5.2.1 Air Quality 5.2.1.1 Exhaust and Dust Emissions As mentioned in Section 4.1.5, Karantina suffers from severe air pollution due to traffic congestion, power generators and various industries. The heavy machinery and vehicles used during rehabilitation, including the excavator, manlift, crane truck, bobcat machine, pickup truck, concrete vibrator, steel bending machine, disk cutters and high-pressure water jet pump will produce exhaust emissions and gases. Exhaust gas emissions will also result from the portable power generator (100 KVA capacity) that will be used throughout the duration of the works. In general, these exhaust gases contain particulate matter, benzene, toluene, xylenes, ozone, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. In addition, volatile organic compounds may be released during storage of fuel and other chemicals. These exhaust emissions will lead to temporary degradation of air quality in Karantina. As such the impact of the above-mentioned sources of exhaust emissions can be evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M Localized excavation activities, site preparation and other earthwork and demolition activities along with the movement and transportation of heavy machinery on the site, will generate particulate emissions such as dust that can affect local air quality. Rehabilitation activities will mainly be executed inside the facility, which is mostly closed off. Dust emissions around the site could disturb nearby commercial areas, military barracks and workers. The significance of dust emissions is highly dependent on wind conditions during the rehabilitation phase. As such the impact of the above-mentioned sources of dust emissions can be evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Ecocentra 78 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Significance M 5.2.1.2 Odor Emissions As mentioned in Section 4.1.5, Medawar area that includes Karantina suffers from severe odor pollution. The odors emanating from Jdeideh landfill have deteriorated the air quality of the region and consequently have affected Karantina area. The surrounding area to KSF already has high odor emissions due to the operation of the tanning industries, food industries, open air cement batching factory, the movement of the vehicles transporting fuel, entering and exiting the port area, various commercial activities and traffic. During the rehabilitation phase, the main sources of odors are diesel fuels, construction chemicals, the improper storage or disposal of solid waste generated by the workers and from the rehabilitation activities, the improper discharge of domestic wastewater and chemicals, which will be used for different purposes. Since the dominant wind direction in the area is from Northeast towards Southwest, residential areas located southwest of KSF will be affected by these odors. In addition, odor emissions may pose a nuisance to workers at the facility and in nearby commercial/industrial areas, as well as passers-by if proper housekeeping is not maintained. As such the impact of the above-mentioned sources of odor emissions can be evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M 5.2.2 Noise Generation According to noise data in Section 3.1.6, average noise levels in a nearby area to the KSF does not exceed the national standards for industrial areas. Currently, Karantina has high noise levels due to unregulated installation of diesel generators and frequent traffic congestion. Sources of noise during rehabilitation include the heavy machinery and vehicles and the additional use of the portable power generator (100 KVA capacity). Due to high variability, estimation of noise generated from rehabilitation activities is difficult. The noise generated during the rehabilitation phase depends on specific activities and equipment. Some activities could be continuously generating noise, whereas others are momentary. Error! Reference source not found. shows the typical noise levels from various equipment used for rehabilitation activities, some of which will be deployed during the rehabilitation phase of the Project (refer to Section 3).

Frequent traffic congestion is also a source of noise in Karantina (Beirut Urban Lab, 2022). Noise from the facility can affect nearby sensitive receptors such as residential units located southwest of the project location, the school, the hospital, the car garages and the community center. KSF is located in an Industrial Area and, thus, the following noise limits based on MoE Decision 52/1/1996 are applicable: • Day (7 am – 6 pm): 60-70 dB • Evening (6 pm – 10 pm): 55-65 dB • Night (10 pm – 7am): 50-60 dB In addition, these increased noise levels could potentially cause hearing impairment and other health problems for the construction workers. Table 5-5 shows the hours of work permitted under various noise levels over 90 dB in line with MoE Decision 50/1 for 1996.

Therefore, the improper management of the generated solid waste along with the improper handling and storage of chemicals diesel/ fuel supplies and diversion of contaminated rainwater runoff from the site may contribute to surface water pollution with suspended particles, hydrocarbon or chemical substances and organic loads. However, due to the presence of many structures and buildings between the KSF and the water bodies, the likelihood of this impact is considered low. As such, the impact on soil and water quality during the rehabilitation phase is as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood L Significance L 5.2.4 Liquid Waste Generation Major rehabilitation activities that lead to the generation of wastewater include washing of machinery, concrete mixing, maintenance of heavy machines and vehicles that generate wastewater contaminated with hazardous substances such as oil and lubricants from equipment and machinery and greases, paint, fuel, chemicals and solvents used during the rehabilitation activities and storm water runoff that contains high amounts of oil, grease and suspended solids. If not discharged and managed properly, this wastewater might pollute nearby soils and surface waters including Beirut River and the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, the impact of the generated construction wastewater is evaluated as follows: Ecocentra 81 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude L Likelihood H Significance M Moreover, the workers on-site are expected to use the existing toilets within the facility after they are fixed which are connected (through the existing underground network) to the municipal sewer network located to the south side of the KSF. However, domestic wastewater generated from the construction workers will be emptied regularly and disposed of in the existing sewer network or transferred to the nearest wastewater treatment through an authorized contractor. Leakage of untreated sewage from the sewer network can affect River and the Mediterranean Sea. As such the impact of the generated domestic wastewater during the rehabilitation phase is identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M 5.2.5 Solid Waste Generation The rehabilitation activities may generate solid waste from construction workers, demolition waste, construction materials such cement and their resulting empty bags, electrical wiring, rebar, wood and piles of sand, ruined asphalt and dirt due to excavation. In addition, steel structures (scrapped materials) will be generated since steel roofs will be repaired. The above- mentioned waste types are considered as inert waste. Steel structures could be either sold to recycling companies or reused in the project where possible. As for the construction and demolition waste, this waste will be reused where possible or disposed in an approved designated site (Section 4.1.1.6). Hazardous waste generated during rehabilitation works include batteries from the repair of power generators, electronic waste (E-waste), empty containers such as paint and chemical used, lubricants and oils. The excavation works will be localized and limited (between existing slab on grade and selected footings). The excavated materials might be re-used as backfilling materials only if complying with fill requirements / specifications. The demolished materials will be disposed of at an appropriate disposal site. No waste will be left on-site during or after completion of rehabilitation works. Inappropriate solid waste handling and disposal practices may potentially result in polluted runoff. Ecocentra 82 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility As such, the impact of the generated construction waste on the environment is considered as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance H Domestic wastes are comprised of papers, plastics, glass, textiles, organic matter, and ferrous/non-ferrous metals. As such, the impact of the generated domestic waste on the environment is considered as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude L Likelihood M Significance M 5.2.6 Water Resources Water is supplied to KSF through the existing public water supply network. In addition, truck re-fill connections are provided to allow filling of water storage tanks by delivery trucks in the event of non-availability of public water. Water is needed for different processes in the rehabilitation activities, such as onsite concrete mixing, cleaning of tools and the machinery used, dust suppression and groundwork activities. The rehabilitation phase will also require the consumption of water for domestic use by the workers. If conservation measures are not in place, overconsumption of water may lead to overexploitation of scarce water resources. Around 5 m3 of water is expected to be used by the workers on a daily basis (a maximum of 50 workers and staff). Additionally, 2 m3 of water/day are expected to be used for basic construction needs excluding the water needed for ready mix concrete outside the facility. As such the impact on water resources during the rehabilitation phase is identified as shown below: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Ecocentra 83 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Type D Magnitude L Likelihood H Significance M 5.2.7 Energy Resources Fuel and oils are needed for the portable power generator (100 KVA) that will be provided by the Contractor for basic needs and for operation and maintenance of machinery engines and vehicles on and off site. If the generator and engines are left running without being used in any activity, overconsumption and depletion of fuel is expected. This impact will last for the duration of rehabilitation works. Evaluation of the impact of energy consumption is determined below. Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M 5.2.8 Natural Environment During rehabilitation, no trees present on the site will be cut. However, if improper solid waste disposal, inappropriate discharge of wastewater, accidental oil and chemical spillages and diversion of contaminated rainwater runoff from the project site occur, this will affect existing trees on site. It was found that there are some vulnerable, threatened, near threatened and endangered species of fish, cnidarians and echinoderms in the Mediterranean Sea. If construction waste or wastewater are improperly disposed in the sea, or any spills of oils and chemicals accidently reach the sea, this marine fauna may be disturbed, including those that need protection. While Beirut River is already highly degraded from sewage discharge and does not include any biodiversity. However, as mentioned earlier, due to the distance to see and the many structures and buildings separating it from the KSF, this impact is highly unlikely. As such, potential impacts on the natural environment are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood L Ecocentra 84 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Significance L 5.3 Negative Social Impacts during Rehabilitation 5.3.1 Labour - Unequal Employment Opportunities, Unequal Salaries Scale, SEA/SH and Potential Child Labor Social tensions may arise if a significant portion of job opportunities are offered to foreign workers recruited for the project, as candidates from the area may believe that such job opportunities could have been filled by them. Issues may also arise if national and foreign workers are not equally compensated as per the scale of market price rates. Moreover, labor influx may lead to social interactions between workers and the surrounding communities resulting in culturally insensitive behaviors and incidents such as gender-based violence, sexual abuse and exploitation and sexual harassment incidents. As stated under section 4.3.5 on national prevalence rates of SEA / SH, women and girls in Lebanon continue to constitute the majority (95%) of survivors of Gender Based Violence (GBV). Female survivors including women and girls continue to face different hardships in their everyday lives due to several contributing factors like the socioeconomic status, traditional and cultural norms, normative concepts of gender, nationality, education status, disability and living or working conditions. It is also worth noting that the displaced Syrians continue to constitute the majority of the population of recorded GBV incidents in the GBVIMS, accounting for 74 percent of all incidents recorded in 2022. As such, and given the conditions of the project site and its direct surrounding (being an industrial area), the risks of gender-based violence, sexual abuse and exploitation and sexual harassment incidents are expected to be minimal due to the lack of residences near the facility. Recruitment of minors in hazardous tasks may also occur during rehabilitation, as well as discrimination based on nationality or gender during the recruitment process. According to the Gender Statistical Profile that has been disclosed in June 2023, as well as based on the Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon (VASyR) that has also been disclosed in 2023, the prevalence of child labor amongst Syrians is of 5%. As for the prevalence of child labor amongst Lebanese, it was indicated that it is null (0%). However, due to the relatively limited number of workers, and the contained nature of the site, this impact is not expected to be severe. As such, potential impacts in relation to labor are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Ecocentra 85 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M 5.3.2 Archaeological and cultural resources No archaeological and cultural resources are found on or near the project site. The facility was constructed in the mid-nineties. The localized excavations will be shallow for fixation of damaged existing footings. As such, potential impacts on labor are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood L Significance L 5.3.3 Traffic Due to its location near the port (Beirut Port) and the presence of numerous warehouses and industrial enterprises that directly service the port, Karantina experiences a high load of incoming traffic from truck drivers. The cargo transit of trucks frequently causes traffic jams inside the streets of Karantina (Beirut Urban Lab, 2022). Rehabilitation of the facility requires the transportation of materials and equipment carried by trucks and large vehicles to the project site thus causing an increase in traffic for a short period of time on roads leading to the site. A short-term increase in the amount of traffic is thus expected to occur within the project area. As such, the impact of traffic during the rehabilitation phase is identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M Ecocentra 86 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 5.3.4 Community Health and Safety During rehabilitation, the sensitive receptors including nearby community in the commercial/industrial area may be exposed to several health and safety risks due to the excavation works and the presence of heavy machinery onsite. Rehabilitation activities generate high levels of dust and noise. Activities associated with the installation of the KSF components might lead to an increase in traffic volumes in roads leading to the project site which can result in traffic accidents and injuries to the local community that use these roads. However, excavation works are expected to be localized, minor and within the facility. Accordingly, the excavation works are not expected to have a significant impact the community’s health and safety. In addition, Beirut Municipality Security Guards are present 24/7 onsite which will limit access to the construction site. These guards are bound by appropriate conduct rules towards workers and community members. The municipal security guards use light arms for basic security and protection services. They are not military forces or military army. Hence, the impact of rehabilitation activities on the health and safety on nearby communities is evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood M Significance H 5.3.5 Worker Health and Safety Accidents and injuries to workers may be caused by several rehabilitation activities including site preparation and excavation works. Examples include traffic accidents, falls, electric shock, and mishandling of machinery and working in confined places during cleaning of the sewer and storm water pipes, manholes and inspection chambers. Some rehabilitation activities will require working at height mainly for the dismantling of the roof steel structure, creating a falling hazard. A multitude of construction processes involving welding, flame cutting, painting and use of adhesive thinners may release many types of vapors that differ in their constitution depending on the activity undertaken. These gases have potential negative impacts on workers’ health depending on the constitution of the released vapors as well as the duration of exposure. During rehabilitation, the need to enter within confined spaces is required. Workers entering tight places are to respect all precautionary measures taken noting the fact that the workers will be subject to a pallet of adverse health effects such as oxygen deficiency and inhalation of toxic/flammable gases. The high noise generated from the machinery may damage the hearing of the workers and dust generation from the different rehabilitation activities may cause respiratory problems for workers on site if appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE) are not being used. Moreover, workers could be exposed to existing pathogens, rodents and insects at the facility. Ecocentra 87 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Hence, the impact of rehabilitation activities on the health and safety of workers is evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood M Significance H 5.4 Positive Environmental Impacts during Operation The rehabilitation of the facility will improve MSW management in Beirut and Mount Lebanon, which will reduce uncontrolled dumping and landfilling of waste resulting in improved soil and water quality in the area. As such the proposed project will have a beneficiary impact on the environment in the region (see table below). Parameter Assessed Impact Nature B Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H 5.5 Positive Social Impacts during Operation Once the facility becomes operational, permanent job opportunities may be created for the local communities at the facility as well as waste pickers. Workers are expected to work for one shift per day (8 working hours/shift) for six days per week, in line with the Beirut Critical Environment, Recovery, Restoration and Solid Waste Management Program’s LMP. Two working shifts are expected to take place per day (16 hours/day). For 50% capacity (1000 tons/day,) it is expected that 90-100 workers are required in each shift (2 shifts / day) while the number of administrative and operation staff, maintenance team (mechanical, electrical, etc.), drivers, and security persons varies between 20-25 persons (for 2 shifts). At full capacity (100%), the labor requirement is estimated to range between 180-200 workers in each shift while the number of the staff and personnel including administrative and operation staff, maintenance team (mechanical, electrical, etc.), drivers, and security persons will vary between 25-35 persons (for 2 shifts). Parameter Assessed Impact Nature B Ecocentra 88 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Type D Magnitude M Likelihood H Significance M 5.6 Negative Environmental Impacts during Operation 5.6.1 Air Quality 5.6.1.1 Odor Emissions The surrounding area to KSF already has high odor emissions due to the operation of the tanning industries, food industries, open air cement batching factory, the movement of the vehicles transporting fuel, entering and exiting the port area, various commercial activities and traffic. Odor emissions are released from the facility from the biodegradable organic fractions in MSW such as Volatile Organic Compounds during the receipt, processing and storage (ISWA, 2017). Since the dominant wind directions in the area are from Northeast towards Southwest, residential areas located southwest of KSF may be affected by odors from the facility. In addition, odor emissions may pose a nuisance to workers at the facility and in nearby commercial/industrial areas as well as passers-by if proper housekeeping is not maintained. As such the impact of the above-mentioned sources of odor emissions can be evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H 5.6.1.2 Dust and Exhaust Emissions Various activities in the sorting facility such as bag opening, manual and mechanical separation of waste and mechanical movement of waste (conveyors and front loaders), and mechanical agitation can emit particulate matter and other pollutants. This will expose workers and nearby residential areas to these pollutants and may lead to respiratory and other health issues (Barkhordari et al., 2022). Ecocentra 89 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility In addition, around 150 to 180 trucks are expected to transport the solid waste to the KSF (when operational at full capacity) on a daily basis, and around 120 trucks from the Facility to the composting and landfilling facilities (organic material and rejects). As a consequence, dust and gaseous emissions are expected from this vehicular movement. Moreover, the four existing diesel power generators of the KSF are also expected to introduce exhaust emissions into the atmosphere during operation. These include 3 power generators of 650 KVA each and one larger generator of 1000 KVA. The common pollutants from diesel generators include unburned hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfure dioxide, and particulate matter (PM). The existing generators are equipped with stacks and soot filters which will be tested during the rehabilitation phase of the facility to ensure proper operation and safe levels of emissions. The KSF operator will implement any necessary adjustments to the stack height and/or installation of needed filters to meet the national standards and World Bank requirements (Good International Industry Practice - EHS Guidelines). It is essential to note that the thermal power of each of the power generators existing in the KSF (when in operation) does not exceed 3 MWth which is the minimum thermal power of the ‘Small Combustion Facilities (3MWth – 50 MWth)’ to which the requirements of Annex 1.1.3 – GIIP of the EHS Guidelines should apply including Table 1.1.2 of the same Guidelines. For the KSF generators, the calculations (conversion calculations of electrical power to thermal power of an engine-driven generator) have indicated that the thermal power does not exceed 1.5 MWth for each of the 650 KVA generators and 2400 MWth for the 1000 KVA one. It is also essential to clarify that the existing generators were installed to serve the Facility both in operation mode and as standby generators (switching between generators during maintenance, rest and cooling down, etc.). These generators were installed to serve the Facility at full operation (2000 tons per day). For the planned capacity of Facility Rehabilitation of Phase 1 (1000 tons/day), one 650 KVA will provide the power needs of the Facility (during rationing time between the public power and Facility power generation). Considering all the above, the impact of the above-mentioned sources of dust and exhaust emissions can be evaluated as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H 5.6.2 Noise Generation Currently, Karantina has high noise levels due to unregulated installation of diesel generators and frequent traffic congestion in the Facility area. Principal sources of noise and vibration Ecocentra 90 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility from KSF include truck traffic, loading and unloading equipment (e.g., cranes, wheeled loaders), balers, other treatment and conveyance systems and power generators. The generated noise from the loading and unloading trucks could disturb workers and to a lesser or minimal extent nearby commercial areas. Table 5-6 identifies the sorting equipment that are likely to expose employees to excessive noise levels and the potential daily exposure which can be above the lower exposure action value (EAV) 80dB(A) or above the upper exposure action value (UEAV) 85 dB(A). The increase in noise during the operation of KSF is expected to affect the facility workers but to a lesser or minimal extent the nearest receptor locations given the area conditions, relative location of the Facility, and the Facility building characteristics, as clarified in the below paragraphs. It is essential to note that KSF is located in an extensive industrial area close to the active loading and unloading bays of Beirut Port. The nearest sensitive receptor is 250 m away on average. It is also essential to note that the Facility’s buildings have concrete and masonry surrounding walls (internal walls between operation zones and boundary walls) as well as steel shed walls and steel shed roofs that are considered as effective sound and noise barriers. As such and given the separation distance of the Facility’s external boundaries from the noise emitting sources (including the process equipment and machinery in the internal Facility process zones), and considering as well the noise reduction principle based on the Inverse Square Law of noise reduction on the basis of separation distances from the emitting sources to receptors, the background noise levels are not expected to increase beyond the current noise levels. Thus, there will not be any noise increase beyond 3dB. Table 5-6: Sources of Noise at Sorting Facilities Task/Equipment Potential daily exposure Glass Tip/Move Telehandler/tipper >UEAV Picking Lines >UEAV Magnetic/Air Separators and Balers UEAV Trommels and Screens. >UEAV Source: HSE, n.d. Considering that KSF is located in an industrial area and, thus, the following noise limits based on MoE Decision 52/1/1996 are applicable: • Day (7 am – 6 pm): 60-70 dB • Evening (6 pm – 10 pm): 55-65 dB • Night (10 pm – 7am): 50-60 dB The impact of the generated noise on facility workers is evaluated as follows: Ecocentra 91 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H 5.6.3 Soil and Water Quality Since waste piles will not be stored outdoors, contaminated stormwater is not expected to be generated at the facility. However, cleaning/washing of the comingled waste residues in the receiving area may result in stormwater contamination. Also, cleaning the polishing line area from the residues of the organic waste may result in stormwater contamination. Beirut River is located around 350 meters east of the KSF. Although, it is unlikely that liquid waste could reach it given the distance separating it from the KSF and that the surface runoff of the area is in the north-northwest direction, windblown waste from the site such as plastic bags could reach it. Furthermore, accidental spills from fuel, oil and other chemicals used for maintenance, inadequate storage of chemicals and operation of the KSF process machines, equipment and generators may occur due to irregular maintenance and inadequate monitoring of fuel tanks. As such, the impact on soil and water quality is as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood M Significance H 5.6.4 Liquid Wastes Generation Domestic wastewater from facility toilets at the Workers Service Building is discharged into an existing sewer network. The existing sewer network begins with a collection system of underground pipes that connect individual buildings via house connections to the main sewer lines on the south side of the facility. Wastewater from toilets, sinks, showers, and other drains flows through these pipes. Leakage from sewage networks, a low likelihood, can occur which can affect soil quality and nearby surface water bodies including Beirut River and Mediterranean Sea. Moreover, a participant from local community had concerns about the liquid waste generated on the roads from the solid waste trucks during waste transport. Thus, the impact of the generated domestic wastewater is evaluated as follows. Ecocentra 92 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude L Likelihood M Significance L Washing and cleaning the trucks, process machines, the receiving area of the facility from commingled waste residues and the polishing line from the residues of the organic waste are expected during operation of the facility. In addition, leakages could occur from the improper storage and disposal of used oils and chemicals at the site. If not adequately managed and disposed of, the generated wastewater is expected to pollute soil and nearby surface water bodies including Beirut River and Mediterranean Sea. Thus, the impact of the generated cleaning wastewater is evaluated as follows. Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M The expected leachate generation from organic waste is expected to be minimal since the waste will be sorted, collected and directly transported to the composting facility, hence, preventing storage of organic materials onsite for long periods of time. Thus, the impact of leachate generation is evaluated as follows. Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood L Significance M 5.6.5 Solid Waste Generation Solid waste will be generated by the workers and office related activities, which will contain organic food waste and common office waste such as paper and cardboard waste. The waste generated from the workers is expected to be sorted within KSF with the organic fraction transferred to the composting facility and office waste sent to recycling facilities. Thus, the Ecocentra 93 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility impact of solid waste generation on the environment is expected to be low. As such, the impact of the generated domestic solid waste is considered as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude L Likelihood L Significance L Litter from feedstock, vehicles entering or leaving the facility, or from other sources, can be wind-blown into the surrounding areas including surface water bodies. As such, the impact of the generated litter on the environment is considered as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude L Likelihood M Significance M Moreover, containers of insecticides and rodenticides, paint, used oils and lubricants, batteries might be generated onsite and considered as a hazardous waste that if improperly disposed could harm the environment. In addition, poor housekeeping conditions at the project site may result in significant quantities of wastes. As such, the impact of hazardous waste on the environment is considered as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood M Significance H 5.6.6 Water Resources Operators and guards at the KSF will require fresh water for domestic use. Water will also be used for regular cleaning of the facility. Water will be supplied to the KSF through the existing municipal external water line. Truck fill connections are provided to allow filling of water storage tanks by delivery trucks in the event of non-availability of public water. Water will be Ecocentra 94 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility stored in an underground domestic water tank with a capacity of 20,000 L. The facility also has roof tanks that are filled from the underground water tanks by transfer pumps, roof tanks include: • One tank on the roof Operation Building • Four tanks on the roof Workers Service Building • One tank on the roof Weight and Management Building. • One tank and its booster pump on the roof of cafeteria next to the incinerator zone. All the water tanks at the facility are in good condition (Section 4.1.1.2) and no water leakages are expected. Therefore, operation of the KSF will require the use of freshwater resources that if not conserved may lead to overconsumption. As such the impact on water resources is identified as shown below: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H 5.6.7 Energy Resources In addition to public power supply which is currently supplied for only a few hours a day, the KSF will rely on four generators with a total capacity of 2,950 KVA. Energy will be continuously demanded in such a facility for the operation of sorting equipment. The increased energy demand will contribute to the depletion of fossil fuel resources and emission of greenhouse gases. Evaluation of the impact of energy consumption is determined below: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood H Significance M 5.6.8 Natural Habitat Improper solid waste disposal, inappropriate discharge of domestic wastewater, accidental fuel spillages and diversion of contaminated rainwater runoff from KSF and the use of rodenticides and insecticides can affect endangered species in the Mediterranean Sea. While Beirut River is already highly degraded from sewage discharge and does not include any biodiversity. As such, potential impacts on the natural environment are identified as follows: Ecocentra 95 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood M Significance M 5.7 Negative Social Impacts during Operation 5.7.1 Labour Work opportunities will arise for operating the KSF for admin, technical and manual jobs. If not done in line with regulations and the Program LMP, it may lead to employment discrimination based on gender or nationality. For example, workers within the same category may not be equally compensated. Moreover, insensitive behaviors and incidents such as gender-based violence and sexual harassment incidents might occur within the workplace. Potential insensitive behaviors and incidents may also occur during the operation phase between operation workers and the local community. Further what was mentioned in section 5.3.1 above and given the conditions of the project site and its direct surrounding (being an industrial area), the risks of gender-based violence, sexual abuse and exploitation and sexual harassment incidents are expected to be minimal due to the lack of residences near the facility. While the likelihood of this impact is considered low or minimal, such behaviors may lead to stress and other physical and sociological problems for the receptors. Child labor is common in the solid waste sector in Lebanon (Bloomberg, 2018) and children may inadvertently be involved in sorting waste within the KSF. Further what was mentioned in section 5.3.1 above, in accordance with the Gender Statistical Profile that has been disclosed in June 2023, as well as based on the Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon (VASyR) that has also been disclosed in 2023, the prevalence of child labor amongst Syrians is of 5%. As for the prevalence of child labor amongst Lebanese, it was indicated that it is null (0%). As such, and due to the relatively limited number of workers, and the contained nature of the site, this impact on labor is not expected to be severe. Given the above and project conditions, the potential impacts in relation to labor are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Ecocentra 96 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Parameter Assessed Impact Likelihood M Significance H 5.7.2 Traffic Around 150 to 180 trucks per day (at full capacity; 1800 – 2000 tons per day) are expected to transport solid waste during operation of the KSF and around 120 trucks from the KSF to transport the separated biodegradable organic and rejects. Thus, the traffic load is expected to increase, compared to either case where the Facility does not exist or is not operational, but in a scheduled and organized manner around the project area during loading and unloading of solid waste trucks. If waste is not properly loaded in the vehicles, it may fall out and lead to traffic congestions or accidents which occurrence is of low likelihood as well as to pollution of soil and water bodies, and odors and air emissions which impacts are of low likelihood and low to medium significance. It is essential to clarify that the transportation of the solid waste (collection / transportation services which will be performed by another operator) is part of the ESMP for being related to the operation phase of KSF. The impact of increased traffic to the facility area compared to either case where the Facility is not operational or does not exist, and resulting from the operations of the KSF, along with related impacts of the associated noise, air emissions, odors, and soil and water pollution, are assessed in this ESMP. As it was the situation before POB explosion, this traffic will be scheduled and organized to avoid congestion. As for the construction stage, the transportation of construction and demolition waste as well as construction of materials will be also considered in the CESMP which will be prepared by the contractor of KSF Rehabilitation. As such, the potential impacts on traffic as well as those impacts on noise, odor and air quality, and water resources, resulting from the traffic itself (waste collection and transportation) are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude M Likelihood L Significance M In addition to the mitigation measures associated with traffic during the operation phase of the Facility, it is also essential to clarify that KSF is an existing facility operating from the year 1994. Bringing the Facility back to operation following its rehabilitation after being damaged by the POB explosion is not expected to contribute to any additional traffic. Furthermore, the current project consists of rehabilitating 3 out of the 6 lines that were operating before the explosion. Hence, the traffic levels are expected to be lower than the base line level when 6 lines were operating. Ecocentra 97 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility It is to note that the waste collection contractor (transportation to the Facility) and waste transporter (transportation from the Facility) will be contracted by Beirut Municipality / Beirut Governorate. The latter will assign a consulting firm (as is the case currently) to provide supervision services on collection and waste transportation activities and ensure the implementation of the environmental and social safeguards. The waste collection / waste transportation contractor will be responsible for the implementation of the environmental safeguards (mitigations measures). 5.7.3 Community Health and Safety Public safety risks are mainly posed by unauthorized access to the KSF, in addition to the increased traffic caused by the waste collection vehicles and transfer of recyclables to specific contractors. Since the dominant wind directions in the area are from Northeast towards Southwest, residential areas located southwest of KSF, the school, the community center, the hospital and the shops may be affected by odors from the facility as this was raised by one of the participants of the public consultation session. Nearby residential areas, the school, the community center, the hospital, shops and flour mill can also be exposed to dust which may lead to respiratory and other health issues. In addition, noise and vibration from KSF can lead to hearing impairment among nearby residents. As such, potential impacts on nearby communities are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H 5.7.4 Workers Health and Safety Workers are exposed to a number of hazards in sorting facilities from the treated material, handling equipment (forklifts, loaders, trucks), the machinery used (mechanical sorters, compactors, conveyors, vibrating screens, electromagnets), the manual sorting operations, as well as maintenance and repair tasks. These include exposure to dust and bioaerosols, noise, thermal stress, inadequate lighting conditions, musculoskeletal injuries mainly due to repetitive movements and awkward working positions and injury during manual sorting of waste (IRSST, 2005). The waste, including the biodegradable waste, will attract flies and vermin. These can cause negative impacts on human health and be a nuisance for the workers (ISWA, 2017). Airborne bacteria (bioaerosols) can be generated by mechanical agitation, during the pick-up and manual separation of solid wastes, by the movement of wheels and tires of the cars and trucks, and during draining solid waste by trucks (Baghani et al., 2020). The ventilation systems which will be installed at KSF are of two categories: 1) Ventilation systems for buildings and rooms and 2) Ventilation systems for the Waste Process Halls Ecocentra 98 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Sorting workers are often exposed to biological waste (contaminated with blood, urine, etc.) and other contaminated residues, mainly syringes which can lead to infectious diseases (IRSST, 2005). In addition, work in sorting facilities may produce risks of entrainment, crushing, sectioning or shearing, cutting and pricking as well as risks of abrasion in maintenance or operations (IRSST, 2005). MSW often contains hazardous chemicals, such as heavy metals from discarded batteries, lighting fixtures, paints, and inks (IFC, 2007). In addition, fires could start as a result of poorly maintained equipment, the inappropriate storage of waste or spills from fuel storage tanks. As mentioned in the Project Description in Section 3, the KSF will have one fire extinguisher and one smoke detection per zone. Although no water sprinklers will be installed, fire hose reels will be supplied. As such, potential impacts on workers’ health and safety are identified as follows: Parameter Assessed Impact Nature A Type D Magnitude H Likelihood H Significance H Ecocentra 99 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 6. Environmental and Social Management Plan Table 6-1 presents the mitigation measures to be implemented in order to eliminate or minimize potential environmental and social impacts associated with the rehabilitation and operation activities of the Project. The ESMP framework for the rehabilitation phase will be included in the contractor’s tender documents. The contractor will develop an operational instrument (C-ESMP) based on this ESMP that will detail the occupational health and safety and other measures the contractor will take, as well as the grievance process and code of conduct to be shared with workers (Refer to Annex 2 for a C-ESMP outline).

Potential Risks and Contingency Measures 8.1 Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during Rehabilitation Before project rehabilitation commences, an Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (EPRP) will be developed by the contractor as part of the C-ESMP to respond to accidental and emergency situations in a manner that prevents and mitigates harm to people and the environment. The EPRP needs to be discussed and disclosed to service providers and local affected communities prior to rehabilitation. The EPRP shall cover the following emergency situations as a minimum: • Medical emergency; • Fire or explosion; • Hazardous Material Spill or Release. The EPRP will identify: • Accidents and emergency situations and the communities and individuals that may potentially be impacted; • Response procedures, provision of equipment and resources, designation of responsibilities, communication systems and channels and periodic response training. The Project will need to ensure that the Contractor shall: • Contact the nearby hospitals to ensure the type of emergency services they provide in case of injuries; • Maintain fit-for-purpose Emergency Response Capability, which shall be clearly documented • Implement EPRP training and drills at all the construction sites; • Liaise with the municipalities and departments in charge for emergency response for the project, in order to ensure they have trained for project-specific emergency procedures; • Make contingency arrangements for calling a Doctor and transporting injured persons to hospital. All workers need to be made aware of telephone numbers of the emergency services and the name, address and telephone number of the Doctor and the nearest hospital, which shall be prominently displayed in the Contractor´s office; • Ensure that all personnel are informed and aware of how to react in an emergency situation, and responsibilities are defined. Information and awareness training shall be documented, and available on all Project Areas; • Organize and document emergency simulation exercises prior to the physical start of the works and commencement of activities, and subsequently once every 12 months. New workers shall also undertake the emergency simulation exercise; • Incident reporting for health and safety, accident, and serious misconduct incidents such that there should be immediate reporting of severe incidents (such as fatal accidents). The reporting shall be in line with WB requirements. This emergency plan once developed needs to be communicated to all workers and documented. All emergency contact numbers should be clearly displayed at the site and any emergency evacuation or related instructions should be in Arabic. This should be reflected in the CESMP. Ecocentra 134 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 8.2 Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan during Operation Before commencement of operation, the Operator will develop and implement an Emergency Response Plan to ensure that the KSF management meets the requirement in developing, maintaining, and reporting emergency preparedness and resource activities to provide protection to human health, public welfare and the environment. The plan will be available in case of emergency as part of the monitoring plan. The purpose of the plan is to: • Ensure the effective management of emergency efforts involved in preparing for and responding to situations associated with emergencies; • Prevent or minimize toxic air emissions released to the environment; • Reduce the probability of human injury; • Prevent or minimize exposure to the operator or other support or maintenance personnel; • Assist response personnel in determining and performing proper remedial actions quickly and limit potential loss or damage; • Reduce the magnitude of environmental and other impacts; • Reduce the risks of fires. This plan would mainly be focused on setting various emergency scenarios along with a specific response plan for each situation. It will be comprehensive, clear and concise. The roles and responsibilities of the staff will be clearly defined, areas of risk and hazard are predetermined, and procedures for dealing with a release will be clearly outlined. An emergency plan for the KSF will include the following elements: • A description of the overall strategy of the plan (before, during, and after an emergency) and provide background information to the employees; • How to report fires and other emergencies, emergency evacuation procedures and route assignments, procedures to be followed by the staff who remain to conduct some critical functions before they evacuate, and procedures to account for personal after emergency evacuation; • A comprehensive list of site activities and associated risks to assist in assessing the expected type, frequency, and size of product releases that could occur; • A response organization chart that identifies the on-site coordinator and emergency response personnel and clearly indicates their roles and responsibilities; • Names and phone numbers of persons who can be contacted for further information on the emergency plan; • Continuous training programs for operational and staff; • Incident reporting for health and safety, accident, and serious misconduct incidents such that there should be immediate reporting of severe incidents (such as fatal accidents). • An assessment of fire safety risk, identification of areas where a fire might occur and factors that might cause a fire; • How fires will be prevented, detected, responded to, suppressed, contained and controlled • Map of the premises that identifies fire risk areas, infrastructure, equipment, and fire safety systems. Ecocentra 135 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 8.3 Occupational Health and Safety Plan In order to minimize occupational health risks, the contractor and the facility shall adopt an occupational health and safety plan that includes the following: • Ensure that workers are wearing their Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) during operational hours. • Proper training should be provided to all workers before they commence their work, along with periodical occupational health and safety procedures training. • Ensure availability of a First aid kit at the station. • Place warning signs around the site as well as entrance and exit signs. • Ensure traffic is not disturbed or blocked at crossroad from the Station’s operation. • All employees working at KSF should be able to read and understand the signs. • All equipment and vehicles should be inspected and serviced to ensure there are in good working order. • Make contingency arrangements for calling a doctor and transporting injured persons to hospital. The telephone numbers of the emergency services and the name, address and telephone number of the Doctor and the nearest hospital shall be prominently displayed. Ecocentra 136 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 9. Stakeholder Consultation A stakeholder consultation session was held at “Al Mir’ab, Block B” located in Karantina Area on Monday, 13 November 2023 from 11:00 am till 12:30 pm. The purpose of the session was to inform the stakeholders, including NGOs, local residents and the public about the project, the planned activities and the developed ESMP to take into account their concerns and feedback. The hearing was organized in coordination with UNDP and Beirut Municipality to ensure proper representation of various communities. Over 65 persons and entities were invited to the session (an email and WhatsApp invitations were sent 7 days prior to the session). The invitation letter and the email can be found in Annex 4. They included members of the relevant public institutions, NGOs, private sector and local community representatives. Nine people participated in the meeting including three women. Four attendees were from Environmental NGOs, one attendant from an academic institution, two attendees were from the private sector, one attendant was from the Karantina Development Committee which is composed from the local community and one attendant was representing an international organization. During the hearing, the design consultant Laceco presented the project and the relevant activities while the environmental Consultant Ecocentra described the findings of the ESMP study including the assessed environmental and social impacts and proposed mitigation measures during both the rehabilitation and operation phases. Participants were informed about the GM procedure that was developed for the project and the different channels to file a grievance. The floor was then opened for discussion and questions to obtain feedback from the participants to include and consider in the report. The main issues that were raised by the attendees as well as the responses to these issues are presented in Table 9-1 as follows: Table 9-1: Concerns/Questions/Recommendations Raised by the Attendees and their Responses Concerns/Questions/Recommendations Response One of the participants had concerns regarding the This facility will be used for solid waste sorting and health problems in the Karantina that exist since the will not implement any incineration activities.

Ecocentra 138 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 10. Grievance Mechanism A GM is a complaints’ mechanism consisting of a set of arrangements aiming at mitigating, managing, and resolving potential or realized negative impacts resulting from specific activities, projects or program. A GM effectively addresses grievances or answers any sort of questions from the affected stakeholders as well as the project workers. For that purpose, three GMs have been established for the LFF - Beirut Critical Environment Recovery, Restoration & Waste Management Program (P176635): a GM for the project’s stakeholders, one targeting workers and another for SEA/SH incidents. The Contractor is also required to have specific grievances mechanism channels following the principles of ESS10. In the operation phase, there will be a GM set by the operator to file and manage complaints related matters of nuisance to the surrounding communities. The operation contract will require that the operator set up and manage the GM. In addition, Beirut Municipality will have an oversight role of the operation services and all related matters including the implementation of the environmental and social safeguards. In addition, to properly manage the Project’s potential SEA/SH risks, the PMU prepared an action plan in line with the World Bank Good Practice Note (GPN) for addressing SEA/SH in projects involving civil works. Thus, the project will ensure proper implementation of the action plan through monitoring, regular reporting and follow-ups with the consultants and contractors. The following sections present the GM for the project, the workers and for SEA/SH. 10.1 Grievance Mechanism for the Project Figure 10-1 presents a detailed flowchart describing the channels, process and timelines of grievance starting from the reception of grievance to implementation of corrective measures. Information about the GM can be found on the following link in English and Arabic: https://www.undp.org/lebanon/projects/beirut-critical-environment-recovery-restoration-and- waste-management-program It is essential to mention that the channels proposed to be used by the workers under the defined GM, are valid as clearly mentioned and outlined in this ESMP, and as presented in Figure 10-1 and developed by the PMU in coordination with the World Bank and shared on the project page. These channels can be used in case the project workers don’t want to use the contractor’s workers GM. These channels include: - A phone number that will give the workers direct access to the Social and Gender Associate of the PMU. - An email address that gives direct access to the Social and Gender Associate of the UNDP PMU. - An email address srmgt.lb@undp.org in case a worker has a complaint against the PMU’s Social and Gender Associate or any member of the PMU. - The physical addresses in case the workers want to communicate in person with members of the PMU. Ecocentra 139 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility Figure 10-1: Project Grievance Process Ecocentra 140 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility 10.2 Grievance Mechanism Channels for the Project Workers As per the GM for the Project Workers, there will be a Social Expert in the contractor's team (recruited by the contractor) during the rehabilitation phase. The Contractor's Social Expert will manage the contractor workers’ grievances. The complainant will be able to communicate the grievance with the contractor’s social expert in-person at the following address [address to be determined later in the C- ESMP]. The availability of the contractor’s social expert will be determined once he/she is recruited. Prior to filing formal grievances, Project workers are encouraged to discuss their grievances and complaints informally with their direct managers and/or with the contractor’s social expert (for contracted workers). Contractors shall prepare their channels for registering grievances following the principles of ESS10 as per this ESMP. Workers are free to use the project GM, but will first be encouraged to use the Contractor’s GM which will be prepared in line with the LMP. There will be three (3) different channels on which workers can submit their grievances. Those are: - Phone call/WhatsApp Message and Text Message: The complainant will be able to send a WhatsApp message or place a phone call on 81/550 753 - E-mail Address: The complainant will be able to send an email to the email address of the Project’s / PMU’s Social and Gender Associate elissa.ghaoui@undp.org The complainant will also be able to send an email directly the UNDP Senior Management Team Lebanon to the email address “srmgt.lb@undp.org” in case the complainant has any complaint against the PMU’s Social and Gender Associate or any member of the Project Management Unit (PMU). - Physical Address: The complainant will be able to communicate in-person the grievance with the PMUs Social and Gender Associate or Environmental Engineer and Safeguards Analyst by visiting the following locations: • PMU’s Office 1: Country office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Qubic business center, Daoud Ammoun Street, 12th floor, Sin el Fil. • PMU’s Office 2: Ministry of Environment (MoE), Room 7-15, Azarieh Building, 7th Floor, Block 2A, Downtown Beirut. It is important to note that, in addition to the UNDP’s Country Office, the PMU occupies an office in the MoE under the LFF project. Any complainant can visit the PMU office in the MoE to submit his/her grievance to the PMU’s Social and Gender Associate or Environmental Engineer and Safeguards Analyst. The MoE will not be involved in the GM related to the LFF project. The Social and Gender Associate and Environmental Engineer and Safeguards Analyst will be present at the above locations from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday till Friday from each week. Once a grievance is received by the GM Focal Point, and in reference with the LMP designed for the project, the following steps outline the procedure which will be followed throughout the project implementation to resolve a worker’s grievance, as follows: - Receipt, Registration and Acknowledgment - Grievance Verification and Assessment Ecocentra 141 Environmental and Social Management Plan Rehabilitation of Karantina Sorting Facility - Response and Feedback - Agreement and Implementation of the Response Figure 10-2 presents the procedure of the project workers grievance mechanism in a simplified flowchart.

Gender Based Violence (GBV) includes acts of gross misconduct, and is therefore grounds for sanction(s), which may include penalties (Formal Warning, Suspension/Deduction of Salary etc.) and/or termination of employment (Refer to Consequence of Violating the Code of Conduct).

Reports must be made in accordance with GBV allegation procedures or through Grievance Mechanism (GM) on GM flowchart Beirut Critical Environment Recovery Restoration and Waste Management Program 7. All project staff and personnel are not allowed to participate in sexual contact or activity with children-including grooming or contact through digital media. Mistaken belief regarding the age of a child is not a defense. Consent from the child is also not a defense or excuse. 8. Adhere to a zero-alcohol policy during work activities, and refrain from the use of narcotics or other substances which can always impair faculties. 9. All project staff and personnel are required to attend an induction training course prior to commencing work on site to ensure they are familiar with the GBV Code of Conduct. 10. All project staff and personnel must attend a mandatory training course once a month for the duration of the contract starting from the first induction training prior to commencement of work to reinforce the understanding of the GBV Code of Conduct. 11. All project staff and personnel will be required to sign an individual code of conduct confirming their agreement to support the prevention and control of GBV activities.
