Project Details
Environmental Monitoring
The West Seti project has been subject to rigorous international and independent analysis and review, conducted to the highest international standards.
A detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), prepared over three years (1997-1999) and consisting of seven volumes, was completed in accordance with Nepalese government requirements and carried out by SMEC with the assistance of local and international specialists.
The EIA, which included an Environmental Management Action Plan and a Resettlement Action Plan, was approved in 2000 by Nepal’s Ministry of Population and Environment.
In 2007, this EIA was reviewed and updated and an additional EIA was completed for the project’s 132.5 km transmission line to the Indian border along with three other socio-economic surveys involving Community Development, Cumulative Impact and Disaster Management.
A further Environmental Assessment Update Report was prepared by West Seti Hydro Ltd for the Asian Development Bank in June 2007.
West Seti Hydro Ltd will commission an Independent Monitoring Contractor to oversee implementation of the key environmental measures and safeguards it has incorporated into all project sites.
