Outcome 3.2: The EcoProject incineration facility is fully qualified based on international standards for management of HW and chemical wastes. .Facility has been constructed and is operational for biomedical and other industrial waste destruction with its operator expressing interest in expanding its range of wastes to various HW up to and including POPs wastes Test burn program designed, baseline studies undertaken and wastes identified for testing assembled. Full test burn program completed and licensing decisions made on an expanded menu of HW made. A technical assessment and upgrading investment plan is completed for purposes of improving facility efficiency and environmental performance including potential application to chlorinated waste streams. Project supervision reports. Test burn results and technical assessment study documents Peer reviews of documents produced Continued enterprise financial commitment to further investment as a HW service provider. Maintenance of public acceptance of the facility and its location in Yerevan. An efficient and technical sound regulatory licensing regime exists and is applied. Outcome 3.3: Basic national capacity for effective hazardous chemicals sampling and analysis for media and contaminated sites in place, operational and certified to international standards Adopted national strategy for rationalization and upgrading national laboratory capability to serve a sound chemoicals management framework including hazardous waste and contaminated sites management. Highly fragmented under equipped and resourced laboratory infrastructure distributed across the regulatory, academic and private sector. Lack of fully creditable capability to service the needs of regulators and the industrial/private sector National laboratory strategy developed, endorsed by major institutional and public stakeholders and endorsed for implementation by the government. National strategy implemented as reflected by availability of effective support capability for sound chemicals management particular hazardous waste management and contaminated sites. Project supervision reports. Peer reviews of documents produced Consensus on a strategy is achieved Government commitment and political will is sustained to make necessary decisions on rationalization of existing infrastructure and effective allocation of resources to focus capability in sufficient quantity. Designated national laboratories, including one each in the regulatory, academic and private sector upgraded with suitable capability for hazardous chemical waste and contaminated site sampling and analysis Reasonably good but somewhat dated capability in MNR regulatory laboratory and one modern academic laboratory. Growing private sector laboratories. Selection of three designated laboratories, one in each of regulatory, academic and private sector for capital and infrastructure upgrading. Approved specifications and plans for upgrading endorsed by the government Three designated laboratories upgraded and operational. Long term national budget commitments and/or business plans in place ensuring sustainable operation Project supervision reports. Peer reviews of documents produced Consensus on a selection of designated laboratories. Sustained government commitment and funding available.
