e national road infrastructure and
enhanced public sector capacity to plan, regulate and
monitor transport and logistics services. Road maintenance
and rehabilitation works are expected to improve road
quality and to decrease road users' transport costs.
The project would also include institutional strengthening
activities, aimed at supporting the Ministry of Transport
and Public Works (Ministerio de Transporte y obras Publicas,
MTOP) in its planning and regulatory duties. It is
considered that the potential environmental and social
impact of the program is low. The rehabilitation and
maintenance works were carried out in rural areas and the
main impacts will occur during established periods, that is,
rehabilitation (under 2 years) and maintenance (over 2
years). In both cases the presence of contractors and
machinery can extend for several years in the same sector as
after the rehabilitation contract, they can hire the same
company or another for a maintenance contract. The main
social and environmental impacts associated with the program
are works related to rehabilitation works of roads and
bridges, operation of camps, asphalt plants and lending
sites (quarries), the generation of hazardous wastes (oils,
lubricants, fuels) and inconvenience to the residents
(noise, dust, risk of accidents, social relationships with contractors). Mostrar menos -

poor management of construction waste and effluents; Loss or

roved by Uruguay and which is committed to
developing measures aimed at mitigation and adaptation to

greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, through the reduction of
emissions in the landfill of the city of Montevideo. This
project complies with all social and environmental safeguard
policies of the World Bank. However, there are negative
impacts of the project. On the atmosphere, the impact can be
seen as slightly negative, due to the chance of noise and
air pollution caused mainly by the movement of machinery and
vehicles during the installation of project infrastructure
and construction of the plant. The greatest impacts on the
environment, in terms of soil erosion and temporary
modifications of the topography have been previously caused
by the construction and operation of the landfill. The
installation of the infrastructure is what will cause a
greater effect. The visual impact on the landscape is
considered an unfavorable impact of the project in the
construction phase, as in the operation of the landfill.
Most of these negative effects are reversed in due course. Mostrar menos -

management measures on soil, water, natural pastures, it
seeks to improve the productivity of rural establishments
integrating biodiversity conservation, tending to reduce the
vulnerability of family farmers to climate variability. In
parallel, it will improve early warning systems, improving
decision-making process and the predictability and risk
management to extreme weather. The development objective of
the project is to make investments in agriculture and
livestock production systems environmentally sustainable and
resilient to climate variability while reducing GHG
emissions from the sector. The objective would be achieved
through developing instruments that would provide critical
and timely information, as well as technical and financial
assistance, to farmers in order to promote investments in
their production systems aimed at reducing risks and making
them more resilient to extreme climatic events. As a sector
project where funding for specific subprojects will be
examined on a case by case basis during implementation, the
environmental impact depends on: i) how each sub-project
will be evaluated for potential environmental consequences
that lead to rejection acceptance, redesign or acceptance
subject to mitigation measures, and ii) the likelihood of an
institutional structure that could implement the
recommendations of the Environmental Assessment. This
project is to generate demand from the productive sector
investment projects. This may mean that a proposal could
create a risk of environmental impact. The project will
contribute to the sustainability of the expansion and
development of the agricultural sector in the medium and
long term upgrading the integrated management of natural
resources through improving the environmental quality of
farms among other things to improve water use, soil and
natural pastures, to increase forest cover with native
species, reduce the use of agrochemicals, improved water
catchment areas and others such as those mentioned in the
preceding paragraphs. Since this is the expected result, it

dentro de nuevas estructuras y culturas de la organización;
continuar con la rehabilitación y la mejora de tratamiento
de aguas para la planta de Corrientes de Aguas; continuar
evaluando el proceso de descentralización de OSE;
desarrollar un plan para la gestión adecuada del lodo
proveniente de las plantas de tratamiento de alcantarillado;
desarrollar e implementar un plan de capacitación en
prácticas ambientales seguras centrándose en la diversidad
de empleados determinados; desarrollar e implementar planes
de gestión para la eliminación de residuos sólidos de
talleres y depósitos; definir e implementar un plan
actualizado para la extracción de agua (superficial y
subterránea); los horarios de construcción se realizarán en
función de las horas de día para minimizar las molestias por
ruidos, y los equipos se inspeccionarán para evitar la
contaminación debido a derrames de lubricantes o
combustibles, y, finalmente, el cumplimiento con la
