MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR RECONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ON A PROPOSED LOAN TO COMPANHIA VALE DO RIO DOCE (BRAZIL) WITH THE GUARANTEE OF THE FEDERATIVE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND REHABILITATION PROJECT

1. I submit for your approval the following memorandum and recommendation on a proposed US dollar single currency loan to Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), with the Guarantee of the Federative Republic of Brazil, for US$50 million equivalent to help finance an Environmental Conservation and Rehabilitation Project. The loan would be at the Bank's standard LIBOR-based interest rate for US dollar single currency loans, for a maturity of 15 years, including five years of grace. However, after Government approval to the proposed terms was obtained, the Bank announced the expansion of the Single Currency Loan program to offer a fixed-rate option, and CVRD expressed interest in selecting that option. CVRD qualifies for a fixed-rate single currency loan because neither the Government of Brazil nor CVRD hold unconverted VLR82 outstanding obligations. It is therefore proposed that CVRD would retain the option of changing to the standard terms of a fixed-rate option until loan signing, subject to Government approval of the proposed changes. The Loan Agreement would be changed accordingly prior to Loan signing. Background 2. Major environmental problems in Brazil include industrial and urban pollution, deforestation and land degradation arising from weak enforcement of environmental regulations, rapid urbanization and rural poverty. In the past few years, however, the Federal Government has, through modern environmental legislation, established broad ambient quality standards, introduced procedures and requirements for environmental licenses, set aside areas for the preservation of critical ecosystems, and intervened whenever state agencies were not carrying out their responsibilities. In particular, the federal law requires all enterprises, as a condition for issuance or renewal of operating and investment environmental licenses, to submit comprehensive environmental impact assessments of their ongoing operations and to implement the recommended mitigation plans. State environmental protection agencies (SEPAs), are responsible for monitoring environment quality, developing local legislation and emission standards and enforcing the law at the state level. However, only a few states have as yet made significant headway in controlling environmental degradation, although all of them have significantly increased pressure on the largest enterprises to comply with environmental regulations. 3. Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) is a major mixed state-private company with mining, industrial, transport and port operations, mostly clustered along two CVRD-owned 800 to 1000 kilometer railways, constituting the Northern System (in Para and Maranhao states) and the Southern System (in Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo states). In the northern system, environmental considerations were incorporated into project design and operations from the start. However, much more needs to be done in the older southern system to meet current environmental standards. CVRD has designed a program to deal with all the direct negative environmental consequences of its operations, partly to improve its national and international image and partly in response to increased institutional and community pressure made effective by the new environmental legislation. CVRD has placed a high priority on implementing its environmental program within the agreed time frames for compliance. In addition, despite excellent environmental management within its Carajas mining and railroad concession, CVRD has been strongly criticized for the indirect contribution of the Bank-

financed Carajas iron ore project to environmental and social problems in the Carajas corridor in the Eastern Amazon (see also para.7). This project will address some of the environmental impacts attributed to the project and contribute to identifying solutions to help prevent further degradation and enhance opportunities for environmentally sustainable development in the region. It is thus an important element in the Bank's strategy to deal with environmental issues in Brazil. 4. A source of deforestation in the Carajas corridor which has been attributed to the development of the Carajas iron ore mine is the establishment along the railroad of charcoal-based pig iron smelters. There are today six pig iron plants in operation, of a total capacity of about 768,000 tons. Although this has been only a minor contribution to deforestation in the area, there are risks in the future of increased pressure on the forest due to a projected reduction over time of available sawmill residues, currently their major source of wood supply. Regulations were approved in 1990 for all pig iron producers to secure their raw materials supply from plantations or managed forests by the end of 1995, but only one pig iron producer is expected to be complying with the law by then. Under the proposed project, CVRD has agreed to carry out an action program which would use CVRD's leverage on pig iron smelters derived from its position as iron ore and transport services supplier, by: (a) conditioning the supply of iron ore and transport services on compliance with the law within an agreed timeframe; (b) providing the smelters with technical assistance to prepare and carry-out reforestation and forest management schemes and technological improvements aiming at minimizing use of wood and charcoal; and (c) signing a cooperation agreement with IBAMA to ensure adequate and timely monitoring of the actions taken. 5. Bank environmental projects currently under implementation include the National Environmental Project (Loan 3173-BR); the Second Industrial Pollution Control Project (Loan 2831-BR); the National Industrial Pollution Control Project (Loan 3480-BR); the Minas Gerais Forestry Project (Loan 2895-BR); the Parana Land Management Project (Loan 3018-BR); and the Rondonia and Mato Grosso Natural Resource Management Projects (Loans 3444-BR and 3492-BR). All these loans include components aimed at strengthening SEPAs. The Pilot Program to Conserve the Brazilian Rainforest, financed by the G-7 and other donors, also include significant funding for actions aimed at reducing the rate of deforestation, promoting environmentally sustainable development in the Amazon, conserving biodiversity, protecting indigenous areas, and strengthening SEPAs in the nine Amazon states. Lessons from Previous Bank Involvement 6. Given the wide variety of components in the proposed project, relevant lessons can be drawn from a number of projects, but mostly from the Carajas Iron Ore Project and the Sao Paulo Industrial Pollution Control Project. 7. The Caraias Iron Ore Proiect (Loan 2196-BR) supported the establishment of the mining facility at Carajas and was notable at the time for the heavy emphasis it placed on limiting the environmental impact of the mine. The project was successful in terms of accomplishing stated project objectives, but it had a number of unforeseen environmental effects which gained international publicity. The Project Performance Audit Report (PPAR) for the Carajas project stresses that, while environmental management in the area directly under CVRD's control was excellent, and the Special Project aimed at protection of the Amerindians in the project's area of influence did bring substantial benefits, the Bank and CVRD failed to anticipate the contribution of this project to degradation of the physical environment and human conditions in the project's indirect area of influence, due to strong migrant

-3inflows in the area facilitatedby the constructionof the Carajas railroad and roads. Chief among these effects are social problems, in particulardeterioratinghealth conditionsof the population in rapidly growing frontier towns unable to provide basic sanitationsystems; pressure on Amerindian communitiesfrom settlers, prospectorsand loggers;and rural violenceassociatedwith land concentration. Physicaldeteriorationof the environmentis evident in erosion and land degradation causedby deforestationfor agriculturaland livestockuse, often unsustainableactivitiescaused by poverty (subsistenceneeds of poor migrants), governmentfiscal and credit subsidiesand land speculation. 8. Although it is difficultto isolatethe share of CVRD from that of other unrelated programs which preceded or accompaniedthe developmentof the project (the Belem-Brasiliaand Belem-Sao Luis highways,the Tucurui dam, the COLONEcolonizationscheme in Maranhao,the Serra Pelada wildcat gold mine), the PPAR points out "a continuingmoral obligationof CVRD to assist broader official efforts to provide needed infrastructureand servicesto the rapidlygrowing rural and urban populations--as well as to limit environmentaldegradation--in the region," and urges the Bank "to be open to the possibilityof providingadditionalassistancefor socially and environmentally-sound developmentprojects in this area." The report also stressesthe importanceof institutional strengtheningat the federal, state and local levels; increasingpublic awarenessand active community participationin program design and monitoringactivities;and the need for cross-sectoralapproaches to solving the region's problems. The Bank has already steppedup its efforts at natural resource managementand environmentalinstitutionalstrengtheningin a numberof states, includingthose in the region, through the National EnvironmentalProject (Loan 2831-BR),and through its participation in the Pilot Program Natural ResourcesPolicy Project. The proposedproject would seek to contributeto the mitigationof the Carajasproject's impactby: (a) preventingfuture degradationfrom pig iron plants; (b) ensuringthe continuityof CVRD's assistanceprogram to Amerindiancommunities initiated under the Carajas Iron Ore Project; (c) strengtheningconservationand forest management efforts of CVRD and increasingbasic scientificand ecologicalknowledgeof the area; (d) helping identify and promote environmentallysustainableeconomicactivitiesin the regionto lessen the pressure on the native forest by creatingemploymentand reducingpoverty; and (e) promoting urgently-neededsocial infrastructuredevelopment(water supply and basic sanitation)in selected towns along the railroad. 9. The Sao Paulo IndustrialPollutionControl Project (Loan 1822-BR. This project, approved in 1980, aimed at improvingregional air and water quality by reducingindustrialpollution and by training SEPA staff to design and implementa pollution control strategy. On the whole, the project was a success, and the impactson overall air and water quality were significant,although not as great as expected. The PPAR stressesthat the Bank should not hesitateto invest in environmental improvements,even if they appear non-productive. However, a long-term and broad-based environmentalprogram, strong politicalcommitmentat the state level and a strong environmental agency are essential in order to ensure that the programwill be effective. Rationalefor Bank Involvement 10. The World Bank Group's current Country AssistanceStrategyfor Brazil, discussedby the Board on June 29, 1993, and the new Country AssistanceStrategy(expectedto be presented to the Board on June 29, 1995)both supportpolicies and investmentsthat will encourageeconomicgrowth and social developmentin a contextof macroeconomicstability. The Bank pursues four long-term objectivesto stimulatedevelopmentin Brazil: (a) poverty alleviationand human resource

development;(b) environmentpreservation;(c) private sector developmentand public sector reform; and (d) improvementin infrastructureby rehabilitatingneglectedinfrastructure,promotingprivate sector participation,and strengtheningurban institutions. The proposedproject is fully consistent with the Country AssistanceStrategy, contributingprincipallyto the first two objectives,by reducing industrial and miningpollution, protectingnatural resources, providingbasic sanitationinfrastructure to poor communitiesand assistingvulnerableAmerindianpopulations. More specifically,the project deserves Bank support for the followingreasons: first, the proposed investmentsfit into federal and state priorities since CVRD is requiredto complywith the new federal legislationand with agreementswith state and municipalauthorities;second, the Bank would contributeto the preparation and implementationof a comprehensiveenvironmentalprogram in one of the largest industrial conglomeratesin Brazil, and to improvementsin its organization,policies and systems, which could be an examplefor other large industrialpolluters in the country; and third, the project would help correct and prevent further environmentaldegradationin the Carajas corridor, by: (i) ensuring that pig iron smelters in the corridor will not cause further environmentaldegradation;(ii) ensuring the continuityof the assistanceprogram to Amerindiancommunitiesinitiatedunder the Carajas Iron Ore Project; (iii) providingurgent basic sanitationinfrastructureto deprivedcommunitiesalong the railroad; and (iv) identifyingpossible waysto mitigate the other negativeenvironmentaland social impacts of the Carajas iron ore project, by using the strong researchand implementationcapabilities of CVRD. Project Obiectives 11. The project has three major objectives:(a) to support the entire environmentalprogram of CVRD by financing high-priorityinvestmentsthroughoutits operations;(b) to bring about changesin CVRD's policies, systems and proceduresneeded to reinforce soundenvironmentaland social policies and management;and (c) to correct some of the negativeindirectenvironmentaland social impacts of CVRD's operationsin sensitiveportions of its area of influence,in particular in the Carajas corridor. Project Description 12. To support these objectives,the project includesthe followingcomponents:(a) air, water and soil pollution control and land reclamationinvestments(58 percent of project costs) in CVRD's mining, industrial, rail and port operationsthroughoutthe country; (b) natural resource investments(6 percent of project costs), which includereforestationactivitieswith native species and the conservationof natural forest and ecosystemsin or near CVRD's installations;(c) sociallyoriented investments(19 percent of project costs) contributingto the alleviationof social problems in ecologicallysensitive areas in CVRD's area of influence,includingthe continuationof the Amerindianprogram (5 percent); the provisionof water supply and basic sanitationinfrastructureto urban communitiesnear CVRD's facilities (13 percent); and pilot rural extensionand small business developmentprograms (1 percent); (d) studies, research. training, and technicalassistance(3 percent of project costs) includingenvironmentalimpactassessmentsand monitoring(in particular at the Tubarao industrialport); and socio-economicstudies in CVRD's area of influence;(e) institutional strengtheningof CVRD (2 percent of project costs) through the establishmentof a corporate environmentalinformation,monitoringand control and auditing system;and (f) other subprojectsand studies to be defined (12 percent of project costs) aimed at further controllingenvironmentalpollution and degradationidentifiedas part of the environnental auditingprogram financedunder the project; and at improvingknowledgeand protectionof natural ecosystems,and enhancingthe welfare of communitiesin CVRD's area of influence.

13. The total financingrequired is estimatedat US$109.9million. The-proposedBank loan of US$50 million would finance 50 percent of total project costs, excludingtaxes, equivalentto 45 percent of total financingrequired. An amountequivalentto about US$1.6 million was approved under the Japan PHRD Fund to finance technicalassistancefor preparationof some of the Amerindianand natural resource subprojectsyet to be defined. Retroactivefinancingfor up to 10 percent of the loan amount would be includedfor expendituresmade up to 12 months before loan signing. Such retroactive financingwouldhelp ensure the implementationof a number of subprojects in time for CVRD to complywith the terms of its agreementswith the SEPAs. The project would be implementedover a five-yearperiod. A breakdownof costs and the financingplan are shown in ScheduleA. Amountsand methodsof procurementand the loan disbursementscheduleare shown in ScheduleB. A timetableof key processingevents and the status of the Bank group operations in Brazil are presented in SchedulesC and D, respectively. Agreed Actions 14. During negotiations,CVRD agreedto: (a) providetimely and sufficientfunds to cover the project expendituresand provide counterpartfunds equivalentto 50 percent of project expenditures net of taxes; (b) maintain a debt/equityratio not greater than 55:45 and a current ratio of not less than 1.2:1; (c) carry out its operations,cause its subsidiariesto take action, and take all further action in its power to ensure that its affiliatescarry out their operationsin an environmentallysound and socially fair manner and at all times complywith federal, state and local environmentalregulations; (d) forward to the Bank annual reports on its environmentalperformanceand that of its subsidiaries and participatingaffiliates; (e) continueto implementan agreed action program to ensure that pig iron producers using iron ore suppliedby CVRD in the Carajas corridor carry out their operationsin an environmentallysoundmanner; (f) prepare, and adopt withinthree months after effectiveness,a statementof policies and proceduressatisfactoryto the Bank to govern CVRD's Amerindianprogram; review and select subprojectsand developa methodologyto monitor and evaluate their impact; and carry out its program in accordancewith this statement;(g) ensure that subprojectsunder the Amerindianprogram meet criteria consistentwith those establishedunder Bank policy; and (h) undertake a Mid-Term Reviewof project implementationin July 1996. The closing date would be June 30, 2000. 15. Conditionsof Disbursementsare as follows: (a) with respect to all subprojects,that the Bank has approvedthe subproject;(b) that CVRD has signed satisfactorysub-loanagreementswith each participatingsubsidiaryand affiliate and implementationagreementswith participatingpublic entities governingthe onlendingof Bank funds; (c) with respect to investmentsin basic sanitationfor Amerindiancommunities,that appropriatemechanismsfor operationand maintenancehave been established;and (d) with respect to demarcationof Amerindianreserves, that satisfactorycontractual arrangementswith the National IndianFoundation(FUNAI) havebeen signed. ProposedExceptionsto Section9.03 of the General Conditions(NegativePledge Provisions) 16. CVRD has requestedthat the Bank grant a numberof exceptionsto the NegativePledge Provisions(besides the two exemptionsalready allowedunder the Bank's provisions--liens on property to secure its purchaseprice and short term bankingtransactions)for the followingliens or transactions:(a) project financing;(b) short term non-banktrade financing(suppliers' credits); (c) statutory liens; and (d) other secureddebts (such as securitizationof receivables)if and when required, but limitedto an aggregateof US$250 million--an amounthigh enough to providesome

-6financial flexibility to CVRD but low enough to minimize risks to unsecured creditors (this upper limit represents only 3 percent of CVRD's total assets as of the end of 1993, less than 4 percent of its total equity, less than 10 percent of its total liabilities, and less than 12 percent of its consolidated net revenues). It is proposed that the Bank should grant CVRD's request (the exceptions are incorporated in a supplemental letter). The waiver would take effect as soon as the last agreement with lenders with negative pledge provisions similar to the Bank's (including Loan 2196 BR, for the Carajas Iron Ore Project) has expired (March 1998). Until this date, the waiver granted in conjunction with the Carajas project (Loan 2196-BR) (liens up to an aggregate of US$10 million) would continue to apply. 17. All loan agreements with international financiers entered into by CVRD in the early 1980s for the financing of the Carajas Iron Ore Project included negative pledge provisions identical to that of the Bank loan. Since the early 1990s, however, CVRD has successfully pursued a long-term financial policy aimed at improving its ability to raise financing from international markets at better terms by consistently negotiating relaxations to negative pledge provisions with its international creditors. Since 1990, it has been able to obtain the same exceptions it is now requesting from the Bank to negative pledge provisions on new financing from all its international creditors (bondholders under two unsecured bond issues underwritten by Citibank and Chase Manhattan, and from Japan EXIM Bank). All CVRD agreements containing Bank-type restrictive clauses (including Loan 2196-BR for the Carajas Iron Ore Project) will have expired by March 31, 1998. Beyond that date, however, CVRD will not be able to make use of exceptions granted unless it can obtain similar exceptions from the Bank under the proposed loan. Finally, CVRD did obtain a blanket waiver to the negative pledge provision under the Bank loan for the Carajas Iron Ore Project (up to an aggregate of US$10 million). 18. CVRD states that inability to secure its borrowing limits its financial options and substantially increases its funding costs. CVRD estimates 1.5 percent per year as the additional costs of unsecured borrowing relative to secured senior debt. In addition, there are large differences in maturities (less than five years for unsecured lending, compared with over eight years for secured project financing). 19. As stated in the Board Paper, dated July 19, 19902, "the Bank has on occasion waived its rights in the case of liens created by Government-owned or controlled entities on their own assets and as security for their own borrowing, for entities which meet the following criteria: (a) the entity is established as a business corporation and conducts its affairs along the lines of a private company; (b) the entity is managed autonomously and is not included in the Government's budget; and (c) the entity's activities have no material financial or economic significance in relation to the ability of the Government to service Bank loans. Waivers, however, have not normally been given for entities in the main foreign exchange- earning sectors of a country and, in some cases, financial ceilings may be imposed on the amount of debt the entity could secure".

"IBRD's NegativePledge Policy with Respectto Debt and Debt ReductionOperations"(No. R90-151)July 19, 1990. 2

20.

CVRD meets all the criteria listed in the July 19, 1990 Board Paper:

(a) it is establishedas a businesscorporation. A total of 48.7 percent of its capital is privately owned (24 percent of ordinaryshares and 93 percent of preferentialshares, which have the same rights as commonshares except for the right to vote in the election of the members of the Administrative Council); and it conducts its affairs along the lines of a private company; (b) CVRD does not depend in any way on the Government budget; it is managed autonomously and, because it has demonstrated financial autonomy from the government, it is considered eligible for a single currency loan. Given its predominant export orientation and large private participation in its capital structure, the Government has refrained from interfering in the management of the company and has traditionally appointed professional managers; and (c) this waiver will not affect in any significant way the ability of either CVRD or Brazil to repay its debt to the Bank. Altogether the proposed exceptions are not expected to exceed US$250 million over 15 years, i.e., only 2.5 months of CVRD's exports and the equivalent of two days of Brazil's total exports of goods. Brazil's debt service to the Bank in relation to its overall public and publicly guaranteed debt service requirements is small (15 percent in 1994, expected to decline to 11 percent by 1998), and Brazil's debt service to the Bank in relation to its exports is also small (4 percent in 1994, expected to decline to 3 percent by 1998)-- after considering the effects of the DDSR agreement. Although the Bank's exposure in Brazil is significant (US$6.9 billion), the creditworthiness of Brazil is expected to improve now that it has resolved the debt issue with its creditors. A waiver of the Bank's negative pledge provision with regard to the DDSR agreement was approved by the Board on April 7, 1994. Brazil is presently not in arrears in its payments to the Bank. 21. CVRD's export earnings (about US$1.3 billion, 94 percent of which are from sales of ores and minerals) account for only 3.4 percent of Brazil's foreign exchange earnings from exports of goods. Brazil has a diversified export base, and mining products accounted for only about 6 percent of exports in 1993. Thus, CVRD is not in the main foreign exchange-earning sector of Brazil. 22. CVRD depends on external markets for both its sales (60 percent of its revenues are from exports) and its financing requirements (in Brazil's current context, domestic medium and long term financing is not available), and is on these accounts an exceptional case among Brazilian public enterprises. CVRD, however, like its competitors, needs to minimize its funding costs to maintain competitiveness. Waiving the negative pledge provision as requested would be consistent with the Bank's development objectives of helping public enterprises operate on commercial terms and on the same footing as their private competitors, particularly when the requested exceptions are fully consistent with normal business practices. Furthermore, CVRD is in a sound financial position and is a competitive enterprise worldwide. The Carajas loan will be fully repaid by October 15, 1997 and debt service requirements of the proposed new US$50 million loan are small compared to CVRD's projected net cash flow. Prudent financial management of CVRD would also be protected by financial covenants that have been negotiated under the proposed Loan.

-8Project Benefits 23. Pollution control, land reclamation, conservation and reforestation, and improvements in public sanitation and infrastructure will provide improved air, water and soil quality, leading to health benefits for the surrounding population. The project will also generate substantial externalities: (a) the project will contribute to the resolution of some difficult outstanding environmental issues associated with CVRD's presence, in particular the pig iron plants issue; (b) programs aimed at preserving and studying biodiversity, endangered fauna and flora species and natural forest management, and recovery of degraded areas, in particular in the Amazon region, will bring global benefits and make valuable contributions to ongoing international research and efforts in the framework of the Pilot Program to Conserve the Brazilian Rainforest; (c) the carbon sequestered in the Green Belts has an estimated value of US$8.7 million; and (d) the welfare of poor communities close to its operations (Amerindians, population of Parauapebas and Itabira) will be enhanced by the social infrastructure and services provided under the project and by efforts to promote self-sustainable development and to identify workable solutions to land degradation and poverty issues in affected areas. Finally, substantial benefits will be generated over time from the consistent adoption by CVRD, a major and expanding mining and industrial conglomerate in Brazil, of sound environmental principles and systems to ensure their consistent adoption throughout the group, thereby providing institutional models for environmental projects in Brazil and elsewhere. Project Risks 24. The main risk of this operation is that CVRD may fall short of its commitments to control the environmental performance of its own and its affiliates' operations and programs, and fail to carry out actions to correct their indirect impact, especially if either: (a) the pig iron and charcoal production problem is not acceptably resolved along the agreed lines; (b) demarcation activities still pending (Awa and Krikati groups) and protection of Amerindian communities along the railway continue to be delayed or are inadequate; or (c) generally, CVRD or its affiliates fail to comply with their legal obligations or to adequately deal with adverse environmental and social impacts of their operations and projects. However, under the project CVRD has committed itself to carrying out programs to deal with these issues. Past experience with CVRD has shown that the company has consistently met its commitments. Furthermore, the Bank has reviewed and participated in the formulation by CVRD of its overall environmental organization, and will continue to follow the establishment of an internal environmental information, monitoring and auditing system which would ensure that emerging environmental and social problems arising for CVRD's and its affiliated companies' operations are identified and addressed in time. Finally, covenants committing CVRD to sound environmental management and social fairness and compliance at all times with the environmental legislation have been included in the Loan agreement, providing remedies. 25. The Government has announced its intention to privatize CVRD. However, it is not expected that privatization would constitute a risk additional to that mentioned above. This is because subprojects financed under the project and other commitments (such as the pig iron plant program) either reflect commitments to State Environmental Agencies which would have to be met irrespective of ownership, or will improve CVRD's international image, a concern of the current CVRD management as well as of most major exporters to G-7 countries: failure to implement agreed action plans could affect the company's image to such an extent that this is unlikely to occur. Also, the risk of a new owner choosing to pre-pay loan proceeds already disbursed by the time of privatization instead of implementing the project using Bank funds is low, first because the proposed exceptions to

the Negative Pledge provisions of the Bank's General Conditions would eliminate a major constraint on financial management which the loan would cause otherwise, and, second, the counter-guarantee which the Government usually requires from the new owners of privatized companies in order to continue providing its guarantee to the Bank has already been agreed upon with CVRD. Financial Benefits and Risks 26. CVRD will benefit from reduced currency risks as a result of financing this project from a US dollar single currency loan, since its export earnings are predominantly priced in US dollars while its expenses and most of its debts are in local currency and other non- US dollar foreign currencies. CVRD has sophisticated risk management capabilities by developing country standards, and can manage any interest risk it faces as a result of the LIBOR basis of the single currency loan interest rate. Environmental Aspects 27. This project is classified as a category "B" in accordance with Operational Directive 4.01. The investments related to the project, which intend to address pollution and land degradation problems in CVRD's facilities, are all well supported by complete documentation, all prepared by outside consultants and compulsory under Brazilian law. Supplemental environmental analysis has been carried out as needed for each operation and subproject, and it is not expected that any of these investments, which are corrective in nature, will have negative environmental effects. The small Amerindian components (totalling about US$4.9 million) are not related to any of the project's investments, but constitute the continuation of the Special Amerindian Project included under the Carajas Iron Ore Project, the impact of which has already been well documented in several OED reports. Details of the program will be subject to the scrutiny of a specially appointed group of experts and Bank review and actions will have to conform to the criteria established for Bank involvement with tribal peoples. Their design will take into account knowledge accumulated in the course of Bank supervision and auditing activities of the earlier project. Finally, other socially oriented components include the provision of basic sanitation infrastructure to local communities, which by their nature have positive environmental impacts. Poverty Category 28. This operation is not part of the Program of Targeted Interventions. However, several of its components (Amerindian assistance program, provision of basic sanitation infrastructure and services to poor communities) will primarily benefit the poor. Program Obiective Category 29. The project fits into the Bank's Environmentally Sustainable Development Program Objective Category.
