Wastewater treatment facilities for small communities in Jordan : task 3 -- draft environmental assessment : Shobak  

In support of the people and Government of Jordan, USAID plans to finance the implementation of a
low-cost low-maintenance wastewater treatment and reuse (WWT&R) project in Shobak. This is a fouryear
project implemented for the Water Authority of Jordan by IRG and ECODIT under the USAID
Environmental Policy and Institutional Strengthening Indefinite Quantity Contract II (EPIQ II). In
accordance with USAID (22 CFR 216) environmental review requirements, an initial environmental
examination (IEE) prepared by USAID Jordan in August 2004 requires a full environmental assessment
(EA) to be carried out for the proposed project. This report presents the EA, which is a detailed study of
the reasonably foreseeable significant effects, both beneficial and adverse, of the proposed WWT&R
project on the environment.
