Instructions:
(i) The project team completes this checklist to support the environmental classification of a project.
It is to be attached to the environmental categorization form and submitted to the Environment and Safeguards Division (RSES) for endorsement by the Director, RSES and for approval by the Chief Compliance Officer.
(ii) This checklist focuses on environmental issues and concerns. To ensure that social dimensions are adequately considered, refer also to ADB's (a) checklists on involuntary resettlement and Indigenous Peoples; (b) poverty reduction handbook; (c) staff guide to consultation and participation; and (d) gender checklists.
(iii) Answer the questions assuming the "without mitigation" case. The purpose is to identify potential impacts. Use the "remarks" section to discuss any anticipated mitigation measures.

A. Project Siting
Is the Project area adjacent to or within any of the following environmentally sensitive areas?
Subprojects located in or adjacent to environmentally sensitive areas will not be eligible. Screening and eligibility criteria will be defined in the Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF).
▪ Cultural heritage site X
▪ Protected Area X Based on PIPPIB map and spatial
plan (RTRW), project areas are not located in protected areas.
This will be confirmed with respective DLH (Kabupaten Brebes)
▪ Wetland X
▪ Mangrove X
▪ Estuarine X
▪ Buffer zone of protected area X
29 The template for “Ports and Harbors” is used to cover the impact of land transformation of water area, especially dredging.

Screening Questions Yes No Remarks
▪ Special area for protecting biodiversity X B. Potential Environmental Impacts
Will the Project cause…
▪ encroachment on precious ecology resulting in loss or damage to fisheries and fragile coastal habitats such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds?
X
▪ short-term increase in turbidity and sunlight penetration as well as changes in sediment pattern and flows at dredging site?
X Avoidance or mitigation measures will be applied such as dredging in dry season, use of cutter suction dredge and/or turbidity curtains.
▪ removal and disturbance of aquatic flora and fauna at dredging site?
X Dredging activities may impact both aquatic flora and fauna.
Mitigation measures will be proposed and implemented in EMP
▪ deterioration of water quality due to silt runoff and sanitary wastes from worker-based camps and chemicals used in construction?
X Mitigation measures will be proposed and implemented in EMP for construction camp
▪ alteration of bottom surface and modifications to bathymetry, causing changes in tidal bore, river circulation, species diversity, and salinity?
X Not applicable
▪ changes in sediment pattern and littoral drift that may cause beach erosion of neighboring areas?
X Not applicable
▪ modification of terrestrial habitat by upland disposal of dredged material or covering of potential archaeological sites with dredge spoil?
X Dredged sediment will preferably be placed on the adjacent levee banks or used for bank construction. Spoil locations if required will be selected away from habitats or archaeological sites
▪ short-term air quality degradation due to dredging- related operations?
X Any emissions from equipment or fugitive dust associated with dry bulk materials will be minor and minimized by appropriate dust control, equipment exhausts and maintenance
▪ noise and vibration due to blasting and other civil works?
X No blasting is expected
▪ risks and vulnerabilities related to occupational health and safety due to physical, chemical, biological, and radiological hazards during project construction and operation?
X Physical construction hazards will be consistent with construction projects and managed appropriately.
▪ dislocation or involuntary resettlement of people? X Will be studied under LARP
▪ disproportionate impacts on the poor, women and children, Indigenous Peoples or other vulnerable groups?
X
Screening Questions Yes No Remarks
▪ other social concerns relating to inconveniences in living conditions in the
project areas? X
Access to the river will be restricted in works areas during construction. Design will incorporate access to river in consultation with local community.
▪ social conflicts if construction depletes local fishery resources on which communities
depend for subsistence? X
▪ poor sanitation and solid waste disposal in construction camps and work sites, and possible transmission of communicable diseases from workers to local populations (such as STI's and HIV/AIDS)?
X Waste management in accordance with good practice.
Communicable disease
awareness training will be provided to workers.
▪ social concerns relating to local inconveniences associated with port operation (e.g. increased volume of port traffic, greater risk of accidents, communicable disease transmission)?
X
[NOT RELEVANT]
Port is not part of the project.
▪ deterioration of water quality due to ship (e.g.
ballast water, oil waste, lubricant and fuel spills, sewage) and waterfront industry discharges?
X [NOT RELEVANT]
Ships and waterfront industry not involved.
▪ increased noise and air pollution resulting from airborne emissions (e.g. gas, smoke, fumes) from maneuvering and berthing ships and the waterfront industry?
X
▪ large population increase during project construction and operation that causes increased burden on social infrastructure and services (such as water supply and sanitation systems)?
X
Large workforce not anticipated
▪ social conflicts especially when workers from other areas are hired?
X Local workers will be prioritized, as they meet requirement.
▪ risks to community health and safety due to the transport, storage, and use and/or disposal of materials such as explosives, fuel and other chemicals during construction and operation?
X Explosives not anticipated. Fuel and chemicals will be managed in accordance with good practice.
▪ community safety risks due to both accidental and natural hazards, especially where the structural elements or components of the project are accessible to members of the affected community or where their failure could result in injury to the community throughout project construction, operation and decommissioning?
X Access to the project sites will be restricted in works areas during construction. Design will incorporate access to river in consultation with local community.
Safe access to public use areas will be provided during operation in consultation with local people.
Table 2: Preliminary Climate Risk Screening
Screening Questions Score Remarks30
Location and Design of project
Is siting and/or routing of the project (or its components) likely to
be affected by climate conditions including extreme weather- related events such as floods, droughts, storms, landslides?
1 Siting of sediment trap will consider climate and weather- related disaster
Would the project design (e.g. the clearance for bridges) need to consider any hydro-meteorological parameters (e.g., sea-level, peak river flow, reliable water level, peak wind speed etc)?
1
Materials and Maintenance
Would weather, current and likely future climate conditions (e.g. prevailing humidity level, temperature contrast between hot summer days and cold winter days, exposure to wind and humidity hydro-meteorological parameters likely affect the selection of project inputs over the life of project outputs (e.g. construction material)?
1
The project needs to be designed to accommodate future climate change scenarios.
Would weather, current and likely future climate conditions, and related extreme events likely affect the maintenance (scheduling and cost) of project output(s)?
1
Performance of project outputs
Would weather/climate conditions, and related extreme events likely affect the performance (e.g. annual power production) of project output(s) (e.g.
hydro-power generation facilities) throughout their design life time?
0
Options for answers and corresponding score are provided below:
Response Score
Not Likely 0
Likely 1
Very Likely 2
Responses when added that provide a score of 0 will be considered as low risk project. If adding all responses will result to a score of 1-4 and that no score of 2 was given to any single response, the project will be assigned as medium risk category. A total score of 5 or more (which include providing a score of 1 in all responses) or a 2 in any single response, will be categorized as high-risk project.
Result of Initial Screening (Low, Medium, High): Medium
Other Comment
