Part I Introduction

1. The unprecedented flood of 2014, as a result of torrential rains of monsoon, caused significant damages to the infrastructure (roads, bridges etc.) of three districts of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K) i.e. Haveli, Kotli and Poonch. The people had lost access to and utilization of various infrastructures, and had suffered from damages to their housing and commercial structures, loss of crops, businesses and other livelihood resources.

2. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) under Loan No. 3264-PAK with total loan package of Pak Rs. 6641.00 Million is supporting Government of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (GoAJ&K) for reconstruction and rehabilitation of damaged roads and bridges networks through Flood Emergency Reconstruction and Resilience Project (FERRP).

Construction activities of the project

3. Construction activities of the project were divided into two categories, i.e. small works and major works. Name of each Road Package, length of the road, contractor’s names and physical progress achieved during the reported period are detailed in Annex-I.

Project Organization and Environmental Management Team

4. Overall responsibility for Environmental Management and Monitoring rests with the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), the implementing agency (IA), which is headed by a Project Director (PD). The PIU is supported by Environmental Specialist from Project Management Consultants (PMC) during implementation and monitoring of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP). The contractors are responsible to ensure that all Project activities are in compliance with the EMMP.

5. Under the FERRP, it is mandatory to implement the environmental and social safeguard compliances. This is an essential part of project implementation and all the stakeholders involved in project implementation must consider environmental and social safeguard compliances.

6. Detailed monitoring visits have been undertaken by the PMC team during the reporting period accompanied by senior and junior engineers, supervisory staff engineers, and contractors and their workers. The objectives of the visits were to identify the impacts due to construction works being implemented, review the implementation of Environmental Management, and oversee the monitoring of the recommended mitigation measures described in the EMMP, extent of compliances of environmental and social safeguards and to find out any glaring discrepancies in environmental and social safeguards by the contractors and supervisory staff.

7. Environmental Specialist (ES) of PMC has conducted monitoring of environment and safety safeguards compliances of the project sites of FERRP (Table 1) during the months of July-December, 2017.

8. Communication and Works Department (C&W) is the Executing Agency whereas overall planning, monitoring and implementation of reconstruction activities are the complete responsibility of Project Implementation Unit (PIU). In addition to this, Project Management Consultants (PMC) is responsible for the execution of EMMP and PIU is responsible for EMMP compliance monitoring. The organizational chart of the project is shown in Figure-1.

Part II Environmental Monitoring

Summary

10. The environmental monitoring was carried out through visual observations to monitor the compliance of EMMP agreed by the contractors under the assigned contracts. During the monitoring period ES carried out the observations regarding dust emissions, disposal of spoil & solid waste material of existing packages, disposal of spoil & solid waste unused materials, loss of access for roadside residents, safety precautions for workers and community, vehicles and equipment exhaust, vegetation and wildlife loss, construction near protected areas and impact on biodiversity, blasting hard rock, drainage line clogging, sourcing fill material and disposing of excess material, disposal of construction debris, loss of agricultural area/cropped area, damage or disturbance to public utility, archeological sites and existing public and community structures. The complete detail of Environment and Safety Monitoring and Safeguard Compliances, Impacts and Mitigation Measures and Risk Level is given in the tables (Annex-III-XVI)

Noise and Vibration 11. It was reported in the monitoring reports shared by PIU that there was no serious impact to people, livestock and wildlife because all the construction activities were generally done manually by labor. No vibration was observed. The machinery was being used only for few hours of the day by the contractors. The Significance Level/risk level was reported as Low.

Surface and Ground Water

12. No contamination to surface and ground water was reported as the contractor and his labor took strict care to damage water line. The Significance Level/risk level was reported as Low

Air Quality

13. It was reported that due to rocky terrain of roads this impact was not created due to construction activities. There was no creation of dust pollution. However, the instructions were given to the contractor and his staff to take actions as per EMMP.

14. During the monitoring period the risk level for vehicle exhaust was reported as low for all road packages.

Flora and Fauna

15. It was reported that as there is no agriculture or cropped areas available along the roads and at some places a number of un-economic shrubs have been damaged during excavation. Hence, the project construction activities have no significant impact on

Flood Emergency Reconstruction and Resilience Project (FERRP), ADB Loan No. 3264-PAK

Biodiversity of the area. It was also reported that there were some wild animals but these were not adversely impacted due to construction activities along the RoW of packages.

Campsites

16. It was reported that all the workers and supervising staff were wearing PPEs. Passing by communities were guided properly through cautions with colored tapes and ropes. Training material and orientation already done by ES of PMC.

17. The overall environment and safety measures were reported satisfactory. The PMC senior and junior staff was vigilant in monitoring the environment and safety safeguards and took appropriate measures on site. But it was reported that there was no first aid kit on sites visited during the month of July for providing any first aid to the labor, passing people along the road and the supervising staff. While on other sites there were Health Safety & Environment (HSE) measures compliance at the camp sites by the contactor and passing traffic and people. There were first-aid kits on labor camps and at the work sites through adequate pre-cautionary measures. The accumulative risk level for the reporting period was informed as low.

Top Soil Erosion

18. It was reported that at roadsides which were monitored during the month of July, the vegetation was cleared and large size stones were being removed from the sites which increased vulnerability of soil erosion but on the other hand, the sites monitored during Aug- Dec, 2017 the texture of the roadsides was observed as rocky and there was no creation of soil so no soil erosion issue was noticed at those sites.

Cultural Heritage Sites

19. It was reported that only few mosques and graveyards were seen near the villages and were located away from the alignment of construction works. As it is a project for the reconstruction of the damaged roads and mostly all the construction activities are in progress on existing roads.

Safety Provisions

20. It was reported that there were no serious adverse impacts on the biotic life but due to narrowness of Kotli-Tatta Pani road and placing of construction material along the road, sometime during the night hours traffic get jams which creates problems for the people. This is a serious social problem.

21. It was reported during the month of July that Asphalt Plant is Located at Maidan (Proposed Location 1) Azad Pattan – Rawlakot Road. Near this location there is a middle level school. During interview with the Head of school it was informed that the proposed site of Asphalt Plant is owned by the school and used as volleyball playground. The contractor plans to use this plot for dumping material, labor huts, office and other infra-structure. The extracurricular activities will be stopped for the students. Moreover, the noise and dust level will increase and pollute the atmosphere. All these activities may hamper the health and education of students. The socio-economic aspects expressed by the head of the school are serious and needs to be given a sincere and serious thought.

Part III Environmental Management

Review of Rapid Environmental Assessment (REAs)

23. During the reporting period, REAs screening checklists for following roads were provided to Climate Change Center; Mehmood Gali-Kahuta road, Kotli-Tattapani road, Azadpattan-Rawalakot road, Rawalakot-Hajjira road and Tararkhel-Hajira road. Based on the REA checklist information, rehabilitation works were proposed within the available RoW of the existing roads. Thus, the sub-projects have not any significant adverse impacts that are irreversible, diverse or unprecedented and therefore classified as category B sub- projects in accordance with ADB safeguard policy statement 2009.

Campsite Guidelines

24. Campsite guidelines were suggested in EMMP for management of campsites during the pre-construction and construction stages .These guidelines are mainly recommendation, mitigation measures to address all the social and environmental concerns of the campsites.

EMP Compliance Checklist

25. Though it is mentioned in the monitoring reports provided by PIU that ES prepares the checklist for collection of information about the compliances of environmental safeguards of packages of FERRP but it is not annexed with the shared reports.

Conclusions and Recommendations

During the reporting period 11 major packages, 1 small package and AK-CW-II Bridges were monitored by the environmental specialist. At all the project sites there are several number of construction activities in progress. The analysis of all the activities revealed that there was no serious environmental safeguard non-compliance. No cultural heritage sites/ wetlands lie in RoW of project alignment were reported. The construction activities have no significant impact on flora and fauna. No damage to the agricultural land due to borrow pits or top soil erosion is reported. Moreover, there was no disturbance on the habitat of wild animals. The impacts during the construction phase are temporary and will end with the completion of the construction activities. However, in order to avoid impact of construction activities on environment and social aspects, proper mitigation measures have been proposed. It is advised that repeated monitoring of compliances of safeguards be carried out to make the project environment friendly and socially acceptable.

Some recommendations are as follow;

i. The work in progress at all sites should not have any significant adverse environmental impact

ii. Use of PPEs by contractor site staff was poor. Awareness Sessions regarding Health Safety & Environment (HSE) should be conducted at least on weekly basis

iii. Tool box meetings should be arranged on daily basis

iv. Emergency contact numbers should also be displayed at regular intervals in local language

v. Proper segregation and marking of materials should be done in store

vi. Traffic should be managed properly at all project sites. Contractors must take road safety a priority and should place safety signs (Safety cautions, Safety cones, Safety tapes etc) where required vii. Oil tanks should be fenced and marked properly and proper care must be taken while fuel transfer to vehicles viii. Fire safety should be ensured and fire points must be installed at all sites. In addition, trainings should be conducted regarding proper usage of fire extinguishers

ix. Housekeeping should be maintained in an environmental friendly way

x. No surface water or ground water contamination was reported due to oil spillages, solid waste dumping or asphalt laying during the reporting period. However, machinery should be maintained properly to avoid oil-spill especially at Thalair Bridge site as the construction site is National Park

xi. Any type of waste should not be dumped into Poonch River or nearby places and Fishing must be prohibited at the site xii. Any type of activity involving the exploitation of Poonch River must be avoided xiii. No noise and vibration related complaints from public or workers were registered. Construction activities situated close to populated areas should be limited to daylight hours only to minimize the impact of noise. Prayer timings and school timings should be observed close to the mosques and schools along the roads during construction activities. 8 Biannual Environmental Monitoring Report

The detailed EMP provided in this document as Table 8.5 ensures that all sub-projects have no detrimental effect on the surrounding environment. The Plan shall act as a guideline for incorporating environmental measures to be carried out by the contractors engaged for the different sub-projects. It shall also be used for other parties concerned for mitigating possible impacts associated with each sub-project and will form part of the Contract documents to be considered alongside the specifications. Thus, the EMP implementation will be the contractual obligation for the Contractor(s). This Plan shall act as the Environmental Monitoring Plan during the construction phase of the sub-projects, and will allow for prompt implementation of effective corrective measures. 8.2. Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

The EMP attached with this report ensures the following:

. Delivery of the prescribed environmental outcomes during all phases of each sub- project;

. Formulating a system for compliance with applicable legislative and non-legislative requirements and obligations and commitments for each sub-project;

. Ensure that project design process incorporates best practice environmental design and sustainability principles to minimize potential impacts of construction on the environment and community.

. Ensure that the construction work procedures minimize potential impacts on the environment and community.

. Develop, implement and monitor measures that minimize pollution and optimize resource use.

8.3. Objectives of EMP

The EMP provides a delivery mechanism to address potential impacts of the project activities, to enhance project benefits and to outline standardized good practice to be adopted for all project works. The EMP has been prepared with the objectives of:

. Defining the roles and responsibilities of the project proponent for the implementation of EMP and identifying areas where these roles and responsibilities can be shared with other parties involved in the execution and monitoring of the project;

. Outlining mitigation measures required for avoiding or minimizing potential negative impacts assessed by environmental study;

. Developing a monitoring mechanism and identifying requisite monitoring parameters to confirm effectiveness of the mitigation measures recommended in the study;

. Defining the requirements for communication, documentation, training, monitoring, management and implementation of the mitigation measures.

8.4. Environmental Management/Monitoring and Reporting

During the construction phase, the overall responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of the EMP rests with the Project Director (PD). The PD through the Project Management Consultant (PMC), will supervise the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures and monitor the implementation progress in the field.

The specific roles and responsibilities for environmental management are provided in Table 8.5 and also elaborated below. 8.5. Institutional Arrangements

The environmental management plan will require involvement of the following organizations for its implementation:

. The Project Implementation Unit (PIU), which is already established at the C&W AJK. The PD is supported by Deputy Director Environment Safeguard. This PIU will be the project proponent and owners of the EMP;

. Project Contractors as executors of the EMP;

. PMC staff (on behalf of PIU) as environmental monitor of the execution of the EMP.

8.5.1. Role of Project Director

The key responsibilities of the PD will be as follows:

. If felt necessary at any stage of implementation, the PD liaison closely with the AJK Environmental Protection Agency (AJK EPA) through his Deputy Director Environment Safeguard and all concerned Government departments e.g. Forest and Wildlife Department, Department of Archaeology and Museums, NGOs, CBOs etc.

. Ensuring the EMP is properly implemented;

. Responsible for all environmental coordination and reporting;

. Provide technical support for compliance and monitoring of EMP;

8.5.2. Role of PMC

The PMC will work on behalf of the PIU and through their environmental specialist, will be responsible for ensuring the implementation of the EMP. The PMC will also ensure the overall environmental performance during construction operations and for ensuring implementation of the EMP by the project Contractors.

8.5.3. Role of Project Contractor

The project contractor will be responsible for following items:

. Implementation of, or adherence to, all provisions of the EMP;

. Contractor’s environmental performance will rest with the person holding the highest management position within the contractor’s organization. Reporting to

their management, the contractor’s site managers will be responsible for the effective implementation of the EMP.

8.6. Monitoring Parameters

A monitoring plan for the construction phase of the project, indicating environmental parameters, frequency and applicable standards is provided below as Table 8.5 and elaborated below.  During the procurement/pre-construction period, the monitoring activities will focus on (i) checking the Contract Documents, particularly to ensure that all necessary environmental requirements have been included; and (ii) checking that the contract documents’ references to environmental mitigation measures requirements have been incorporated as part of contractor’s assignment and making sure that any advance works are carried out in good time.  During the construction period, the monitoring activities will focus on ensuring that any required environmental mitigation measures are implemented to address possible impacts.  At this stage, due to the modest scale of these new sub-projects that will be conducted, the construction impacts will be manageable. No insurmountable impacts are predicted, providing that the EMP is implemented to its full extent as required in the Contract documents. However, experience suggests that some Contractors may not be familiar with this approach or may be reluctant to carry out some measures. In order that the Contractors are fully aware of the implications of the EMP and to ensure compliance, it is recommended that environmental measures be costed separately in the tender documentation and that payment milestones are linked to environmental performance, vis a vis the carrying out of the EMP.  The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency must be prepared for this. In this regard, the PMC will guide the design engineers and Contractors on the environmental aspects.
