� Progress and Deliverables to-date

During this period the main deliverable is the “INCEPTION Report” which is the result of the following progress made:

1. Legal background & Institutional arrangements with emphasis on the wastewater sector2. Drainage area: analysis of future water supply needs and wastewater generation as well

as existing and planned WW networks3. Assessing current status and condition of the site, data on the sea outfall4. Definition of baseline data and basic assumptions (population estimates, design criteria)5. Ongoing design of process alternatives initiated and progressing6. Sampling campaign and topographic survey is completed

limited enforcement of legal requirements for discharges

control

•Including sewer network assessment in FS scope with

impact on project timing and resources needed

Investment Impact•Improve quality of coastal waters;

•Improve quality of life for estimated 1

million people (25% of Leb. Population,

projected 1.8 Million PE); and

•Reduce pollution and environmental

stress on the Mediterranean
