The project constitutes the continuation of the investment program of the SIAAP (INTERDEPARTMENTAL SYNDICATE FOR THE SANITATION OF THE PARIS AGGLOMERATION) for the upgrading of the largest wastewater treatment plant in the Paris region (Achères Seine Aval).
The project targets improved wastewater treatment and sludge treatment through the rehabilitation and upgrading of the primary settlers and the biogas plant in SIAAP's largest wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters per day (combined flow of wastewater and storm water), as well as the construction of a large trunk sewer to prevent discharge of untreated sewage to Seine river.
The project aims at maintaining compliance with the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive 91/271/EC and Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC. Several of the construction schemes included in the project might fall under Annex I of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. Environmental Impact Assessment procedures are carried out where required by the competent authorities and mitigating measures are applied as appropriate. Where appropriate, the requirements of the Habitats and Birds Directives (92/43/EEC and 2009/147/EC) are applied. The Bank's appraisal will focus on the Promoter's environmental management capacity to properly apply these EU Directives.
The promoter has to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2014/24/EU, as well as Directive 92/13/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
