Elbistan Municipality; within the scope of the Municipal Services Project conducted through the Provincial Bank, the Drinking Water Rehabilitation, along with the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Treated Water Discharge Line Projects, and the Supervision of Environmental Impact Studies.
Elbistan has undergone a rapid development process due to intense industrial investments made in the last 25 years. In parallel with this development, the population increase in Elbistan has brought about demands for infrastructure. To meet these demands, Elbistan Municipality has implemented a series of projects for the renewal of infrastructure and the expansion of services. The projects in question will be financed under the "Municipal Services Project," which is carried out by the Municipalities Bank and financed by the World Bank resources. The Municipal Services Project aims to provide investment financing from World Bank funds to be used in municipalities' water, wastewater, and solid waste projects, coordinated by the Municipalities Bank. The program's purpose is to sustainably support municipal development. All activities carried out within the project must comply with the applicable Turkish Environmental Legislation and Implementation Procedures and especially with the World Bank's Operational Policy 4.01 on Environmental Assessment (The World Bank OP 4.01, 1999), as well as other Environmental and Operational Policies. The aim of this study is to prepare an Environmental Management Plan that is suitable for the relevant category requirements, covering the construction and operation phases of the project.
