The development objectives of the Roads and Employment Project for Lebanon are to: (i) improve transport connectivity along select paved road sections; and (ii) create short term jobs for Lebanese and Syrians. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) abide by a dust management plan for air pollution from emissions of machinery, trucks, or open burning activities; (2) prohibit the discharge of wastewater into nearby water bodies under any condition; (3) proper storage of raw material including chemicals and fuel and handling must be on a paved and sealed floor; (4) construction workers must be trained and provided with awareness sheets on efficient energy use; (5) training and awareness should be raised to workers concerning water usage best practices and water conservation; (6) ensure that all workers (locals and foreign, skilled, and unskilled) shall be compensated equally as per the scale of market price rates; (7) traffic shall be secured via alternative routes to reach relevant destinations in case the works imply the temporary closure of this road; and (8) installation of signs near sensitive areas to prevent people from using the pressure horns to reduce noise pollution.
