- Description
- The purpose of this Contract is to provide Environmental Assessment service and deliver report on finding for the proposed Kuram Tangi Dam Construction. Conduct an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the project that will meet the requirements of 22 CFR 216 and meet Government of Pakistan (GOP) environmental clearance requirements. The program will technically be managed by USAID/Pakistan's Office of Energy. The period of performance of this contract is estimated to be eight months from the date of signing of the contract. The project site is located on the Kurram River about 9 miles upstream of Kurram Garhi Head Works and 19 miles north of Bannu City in North Waziristan Agency of the FATA. The Kurram Tangi Multipurpose Dam reservoir will store and manage water from the Kurram and Kaitu rivers to irrigate land through three new canals in North Waziristan and Bannu District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP, supplement water supply to the existing Civil & Marwat canals, and make electricity available to these remote areas in KP and FATA. It is planned to increase canal irrigation by 84,000 acres, improve irrigation in another 278,000 acres, provide 332 million kilowatt hours of electric power each year, and create 3,500 jobs during the four years of construction. The long standing security risks associated with the area may be reduced owing to increased economic opportunities leading to improved lives of the local population. The project is considered feasible by the GOP as detailed in the completed and approved PC-1 (July 2011). It will contribute to meeting energy and other vital development needs of a restive region of Pakistan and improve the security situation in the country. It will use mostly domestic resources, promote labor in agriculture and reduce dependence on imported hydrocarbon fuel. The project is very high priority with the provincial government of KP, a province beset with terrorism, underemployment and poor living conditions. Its overall effect will be highly visible as it will bring investment to a neglected corner of the region. The social and economic benefits to the deprived 3.5 million residents will be appreciable.
