Upon completion of phase one and delivery of partially completed Island Waste Management Systems report which informs the preliminary requirements for island level component, the project has received go ahead from the World Bank to commence construction of Island Waste and Resource Management Centres (IWRMCs) based on a proposal submitted by the PMU. Based on the population and the size of the islands, 2 distinguished types of technologies are proposed to deal with the organic component of the island waste stream, namely, anaerobic digestion and mechanical aerobic technology (using a mechanised compost machine). Following the high-level restructuring discussion held during the March 2022 mission, which was subsequently endorsed by the steering committee of MCEP, it was agreed that funding from the World Bank will be utilised only for the civil works and ancillary activities of 19 sub-projects in Zone 4&5, which includes 11 new centres and 8 composting pilot projects. The remaining islands in Zone 4&5 that have IWRMCs, but requiring upgrading at some capacity, have been phased out and is intended to be completed at a later stage through other funding sources. The first batch of IWRMCs include 6 islands of Zone 4&5, namely; M. Mulah, Th. Burni, Th. Kinbidhoo, Th. Madifushi, Th. Omadhoo and Th. Thimarafushi, of which 4 islands required compensation for privately owned trees at the designated plots. The compensation issuance process for these 4 islands were completed in August 2021. However, the tendering process for civil works of these subprojects were unsuccessful on first go and had to be re-tendered, along with civil works of Batch 2 subprojects. The details of compensation issuance process of Batch 1 islands are covered in the report titled “compensation issuance report for Batch 1 IWRMCs of Zone4&5”. The second batch of IWRMCs, which is the focus of this report, are proposed to be established in the following Zone 4&5 islands. 1. M. Kolhufushi (Zone 4) 2. Dh. Maaenboodhoo (Zone 4) 3. Th. Guraidhoo (Zone 5) 4. L. Dhanbidhoo (Zone 5) 5. L. Gan (Zone 5) The organic waste treatment technology proposed to be utilised at these centres is aerobic composting using a mechanical in vessel composting machine. The entire island waste management systems in these subproject islands including civil works, equipment, machinery and community mobilization will be financed by the World Bank. The World Bank will also Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs) were developed for these 5 centres and subsequently cleared by the Maldives Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Bank. These reports have also been disclosed in the website of Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Technology (MECCT).Item Construction phase monitoring report 1 : ESIA for upgrading of infrastructure at zone II RWMF R.

Rinbudhoo(2018-01) Zuhair, Ahmed HassaanThe proposed development of Island Waste Management Center (IWMC) in Dh Rinbudhoo is funded by the Public Sector Investment Program (PSIP) of the Government of Maldives. The aim of this project is to alleviate current waste management problems endured by the island community and thereby improve the overall environmental and public health condition of the island. The proposed IWMC will be developed in a 625 square meters’ area located in the south west side of the island. This site maintains sufficient distance from the residential population and vegetation line and meets the land allocation criteria of both Maldives Land and Survey Authority (MLSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, the beach immediately adjacent to the proposed site is subjected to erosion. The Island Council is currently in the process of establishing coastal protection measure to alleviate erosion and the works are expected to be completed within this year prior to the operationalization of the proposed IWMC. Furthermore, the young coconut palms found at the proposed site will be relocated to strengthen the south west vegetation line of the island during site clearance works, which would enhance the island’s natural defense against coastal erosion. 30 mature coconut palms, 22 young palms and one Indian Almond tree is found at the location. The mature coconut palms are owned by individuals and therefore, compensation will be provided to the owners prior to commencement of construction works. No environmentally protected or sensitive sites are present close to the IWMC. The project will provide basic infrastructure necessary to manage waste at island level and ensure composting is undertaken in the island. After completion of civil works, the IWMC will be operated by the Island Council in accordance to the Island Waste Management Plan. Training on composting for island level staffs and machinery such as, shredders, wood chippers and bottle crushers will be provided to facilitate adequate functioning of the IWMC. Waste that is not manageable at the island level will be stored and regularly transferred to a regional waste management facility (RWMF). All civil works of the project are expected to be completed within 6 months. Environmental impacts of the project were evaluated using the Rapid Impact Assessment Method (RIAM). Majority of the impacts envisaged for the project are highly positive. The project is expected to bring numerous economic benefits to the island community, in additional to the perceivable environmental and public health related benefits. The only permanent negative impact likely to occur as a result of the project is related to the removal of vegetation. However, the amount of vegetation clearance involved is minimal and therefore, if the mitigation measures proposed in this management plan are adhered, almost all the negative impacts can be brought to an acceptable level. The monitoring program proposed in the EMP will ensure the implementation of the mitigation measures and assist in the identification of unforeseen impacts throughout the project. Overall, the project is expected to provide significant socio-economic and environmental benefits for the local community.Item Environmental management plan for the proposed development of island waste management center in F. Magoodhoo(2017-12) Zuhair, Ahmed HassaanThe proposed development of Island Waste Management Center (IWMC) in Faafu Atoll Magoodhoo is funded by the Public Sector Investment Program (PSIP) of the Government of Maldives. The aim of this project is to alleviate current waste management problems endured by the island community and thereby improve the overall environmental and public health condition of the island. The proposed IWMC will be developed in a 630 square meters’ area located in the reclaimed area on the south side of the island. The scope of works also includes repairing of the incinerator adjacent to the site. The site adheres to the conditions set forth in the land approval letter of Maldives Land and Survey Authority (MLSA) by maintaining an adequate green buffer from the residential area and also shore protection is established at the shoreline towards south and east of the IWMC. Only 2 mature coconut palms and 9 mature trees (portia trees) are found at the project site, therefore, minimal site clearance work will be required. The palms and trees will be relocated to other parts of the island as much as possible. No environmentally protected or sensitive site is present close to the IWMC. The project will provide basic infrastructure necessary to manage waste at island level and ensure composting is undertaken in the island. After completion of civil works, the IWMC will be operated by the Island Council in accordance to the Island Waste Management Plan.

Vandhoo(2017-09) Zuhair, Ahmed HassaanThe proposed development of Island Waste Management Center (IWMC) in Th Vandhoo is funded by the Public Sector Investment Program (PSIP) of the Government of Maldives. The aim of this project is to alleviate current waste management problems endured by the island community and thereby improve the overall environmental and public health condition of the island. The proposed IWMC will be developed in a 500 square meters’ area located in the South East side of the island. This site is at a considerable distance away from the residential population and vegetation line and meets the land allocation criteria of both Maldives Land and Survey Authority (MLSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At present, no major vegetation exists in the site except some scrubs. However, according to the information provided by the Island Council, 7 mature coconut palms and 3 mature trees (Alexandrian laurel) were previously present at the site. The Island Council has been undertaking land clearance works since 2015, as the site has been identified by the council to develop IWMC in 2015. An EPA declared environmentally sensitive mangrove area exists in the north western side of the island. However, this area is 400 meters away from the proposed IWMC and therefore, no negative impacts to this area are envisaged to occur as a result of the project. The project will provide basic infrastructure necessary to manage waste at island level and ensure composting is undertaken in the island. After completion of civil works, the IWMC will be operated by the Island Council in accordance to the Island Waste Management Plan. Training on composting for island level staffs and machinery such as, shredders, wood chippers and bottle crushers will be provided to facilitate adequate functioning of the IWMC.
