11. The initial IEE report published on ADB website in November 2010 and on RFRU website in March 2011 prepared by DAU Consulting Company. The purpose of IEE report is to reveal the possible negative impact on the environment and propose activities to soften that impact as the result of road melioration within the framework of MFP CAREC 2 Project 1. 12. According to IEE conclusion melioration of the road section would not cause negative environmental effect during construction and operation periods and not decrease preventative measures of Uzbek and international ecological standards. Environmental protection guide (EPG) and Environmental Action Plan (EAP) which are based on EMP were prepared in English and Russian and were approved by Engineer. EAP consists of tables where mitigation measures are defined as well as environmental monitoring activity for preparation of the project, construction stage, and operation. EAP describes place and time of environmental monitoring. Followings are the positive of IEE report:

• It provides main information on local environment of design section and potential environmental impact.

• It provides recommendations for softening of environmental impact and describes the actualization of EMP.

• It provides manual for carrying out of EMP. • Detailed information on environmental monitoring – parameters and implementations.

13. IEE determines ecological norms and EAP is based on EMP to determine mitigation consequences and environmental policies to be carryout by Contractor during construction period. EAP determines the place & time with responsible persons and planning parameters of environmental monitoring. 2.2. PERMISSION FROM GOSKOMPRIRODA (STATE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE)

14. In accordance with Environmental standard in Uzbekistan (Decree of Cabinet of Ministers № 491 dated 2001- Decree about State environmental assessment) the reconstruction of A-373 route is under category 1.
