1. Background
Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is a project being implemented by loan assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), technical assistance from Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and counterpart funding from Government of Nepal (GoN). EEAP has been supporting GoN to accelerate recovery and reconstruction following the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershock of 12 May 2015. The project covers 12 affected districts in eastern, middle and western development region of Nepal1.
The Project will restore and strengthen the resiliency of critical public and social infrastructure and services and has four outputs; Output 1: Schools are rebuilt and upgraded, Output 2: Roads and bridges are rehabilitated and/or reconstructed, Output 3: District-level government facilities constructed and/or rebuilt, Output 4: Disaster preparedness and management capacities strengthened.
Under Output 2, strategic roads and district roads damaged by the earthquake and landslides are under rehabilitation. Project roads and bridges will have built back better features for road safety and climate resilience. The initial target of district roads component was rehabilitation and reconstruction of 450 km. A total of 25 potential road sub-projects (474.7 km) had been identified for rehabilitation and reconstruction in 12 sub-projects districts under EEAP2. However, 17 road sub-projects (325 km) has been prioritized for rehabilitation and reconstruction due to budget constraint (please refer Figure 1 and 2 for project location).
National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) is executing agency for EEAP. NRA has established Central Level Project Implementation Unit-Grant Management and Local Infrastructure (CLPIU-GMaLI) in Kathmandu, headed by a project director to coordinate all project activities. At the district level, project implementation will be the responsibility of the District Level Project Implementation Unit-Grant Management and Local Infrastructure (DLPIU-GMaLI) of each district. CLPIU/DLPIU (GMaLI) will be supported by District Implementation Support Consultants (DISC) which is headed by District Team Leader, technical and social staff. Overall back stopping support to the district will be provided by Central Implementation Support Consultants (CISC).
1The 12 project districts are Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Kavrepalanchok, Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, Solukhumbu, Sindhuli, Gorkha, Lamjung, Chitwan

2. Environmental Safeguards in EEAP
EEAP falls in category B project according to ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. Also, the road sub-projects of EEAP belong to District Road Core Network (DRCN) according to Nepal Rural Road Standard (2055) first Revision, September 2012 of the Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DoLIDAR). Therefore, it is a legal requirement to carry out Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) according to Working Procedure relating with Environmental Impact Assessment for Reconstruction of the Earthquake Affected Structures 2016.
Environmental assessment is essential to integrate environmental considerations into development project in order to minimize negative environmental impacts. In this context, IEE reports have been prepared for road sub-projects under EEAP to satisfy legal provision of GoN and ADB’s environmental procedures.
During the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the road sub-projects, environmental monitoring is an important tool to ensure the compliance of mitigation measures and implementation of environmental management plan (EMP). Monthly, Quarterly and Semi-annual Environmental Safeguard Monitoring Report have been prepared on the basis of report received from DISC team and environmental field visit made by Environmental Safeguard Unit of CISC, EEAP.
3. Overall Environmental Safeguard Status
IEE reports of all 17 road sub-projects have been approved by GoN and have been duly endorsed by ADB. 14 IEE reports are approved from NRA and 3 IEE reports Bysai-Jhaukhel- Changu-Telkot-Bhattedanda-Nagarkot Road, Bhaktapur; Godamchour-Godabari-Badikhel- Lelebhanjyang Road, Lalitpur and Khopasi-Dhungakharka-Chyamranbesi-Milche-Borang Road, Kavrepalnchok) are approved by then Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development).
Total 3 IEE reports (Devitar-Phulasipokhari Section of Devitar-Doramba-Paseban-Kolibagar Road, Ramechhap; Okhaldunga-Rumjatar Road, Okhaldhunga and Pipal Bhanjyang-Haitar- Netrakali Road, Sindhuli) were updated due to variation in forest area and trees to be removed from forest area and re-approved from NRA. The forestry clearance process has been initiated in all required sub-project. Simultaneously, implementation of environmental management plan and monitoring is ongoing. Please refer Annex 1 and Annex 2 for status of environmental safeguards.
4. Construction Approach
EEAP applies National Competitive Bidding (NCB) approach for construction of road. Contractors have been using equipment and human resources to execute the contract within the stipulated deadline. Spoil disposal has been tried to balance with cutting and filling as far as possible. There will be use of bio-engineering techniques with integrated use of vegetation, simple civil engineering structures and proper water management systems for slope protection. Overall, construction activities will follow the environment friendly approach as much as possible.

7. ISSUES AND WAY FORWARD
With approval of IEE reports, forestry clearance has been initiated and has reached cabinet. Also, despite of allocation of budget (NRs. 16,507,000), only around one third of budget was spent by DLPIU for implementation of EMP. The large portion of budget was for compensatory plantation which could not be accelerated due to delay in forestry clearance process. Major issues and way forward for the effective implementation of environmental safeguard measures are discussed below in Table 7.
Table 7: Issues and Way Forward
S.N Issues Way forward
1 Obtaining forestry clearance Regular follow-up by CLPIU for cabinet decision.
2 Budget to carry augmentation, Use of PS budget (BoQ) immediately and mitigation and compensation activities follow-up at NRA for releasing additional (remaining activities) budget
3 Environmental compliance monitoring There should be regular field visits from CISC and supervision to provide backstopping support to DLPIU and DISC and monitor compliance of environmental safeguards

1. THE PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 Background The proposed loan (No. 3260-NEP) under Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is financing improvements of three feeder roads, a total of 99.741 km, in the central and western regions of Nepal. While the Project will contribute to development and expansion of the Strategic Road Network (SRN), it will include an institutional capacity assessment in the areas of road safety and road maintenance, which will form the basis for a capacity development program. Gender and social inclusion through a livelihood program will be targeting women involved in road construction activities in the project-affected area.
The project roads are: (i) Dolakha – Singati Road (34.49 Km), (ii) Dhading Gorkha Road (42.274 Km) excluding 25 km overlap with Mid-Hill highway in total of 87.274 km and (iii) Panchkhal – Melamchi Road (22.977 Km).The Department of Roads (DoR) intends to improve these roads to an all-weather bituminous Feeder Road Standard. Project roads have been selected based on environment, resettlement, social and economic impacts; and project readiness. The Project is relevant to achieving results of the Country Strategy and Program (2013-2017), enhancing global- local connectivity to facilitate regionally balanced economic growth. The detail of sub project is listed below

Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report January-June, 2018 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background The site specific Environmental Management Action Plan (SS-EMAP) is an action plan aimed to averting or reducing potential environmental impacts associated with the upgrading works of Dolakha–Singati Road from fair weather to a Surface of sealed bituminous standards. 1.2 Purpose of the Site Specific Environmental Management Action Plan In order to mitigate foreseen environmental impacts, it requires a practical management plan generally referred as Environmental Management Action Plan. This plan suggests appropriate environmental safeguard against foreseeable adverse environmental impacts likely to cause by the proposed road works with responsibility. Main purpose of the SS-EMAP is to:
Identify mitigation measures that will be implemented on road upgrading to prevent or mitigate environmental impacts. Promote compliance of the implementation of environmental protection measures. Provide timely warning of potential damage.
2. STATUS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITY
Incorrect and reckless excess material disposal is common phenomenon in road works that should not surface up in the road which is under construction. Instead, it should be eliminated and its correct disposal method should be in place. If correct method and safe disposal methods are not applied, it induces slope failure due to spoil disposed over it. To overcome such environmental risks, we will ensure spoil disposal activity with full care to avoid littering of arable land and carry out plantation over soil disposed slope prior to pre-monsoon. For such activity, we will select appropriate locations and obtain full approval from the concerned authorities. As per agreement and Clauses related to Social Safeguard and Environmental protection works, we will use legally approved quarry sites which will be maintained and left in a stable condition without steep slopes and be either refilled or drained and be landscaped by appropriate planting. Rock or gravel taken from a river will be removed over some distance so as to limit the depth of material removed at any location, not disrupt the river flow or damage or undermine the river banks. In addition, we will not deposit excavated material on land in government or private ownership except as directed by the Project Manager in writing or by permission in writing of the authority responsible for such land in government ownership or of the owner or responsible representative of the owner of such land in private ownership and only then in those places and under such condition as the authority, owner or responsible representative may prescribe and or agree with. Further, we will not dump spoil in grazing lands, forest and environmentally sensitive areas like protected areas, unstable hill slope, Local River, pond, lake, area supporting rare plants/animal species etc. It will be dumped in environmentally safe tipping sites that are approved by the Project Manager. In the Dolakha-Singati Road, tipping, borrow/quarry sites and crusher plant have agreement paper with land owner. In this package, mitigation measures shown in restoration plant are carried out by which impacts are not expected. In the context of tree loss from government or community forest, only minimal number of trees are needed to be cut. Impacts on wildlife nearby road site are also not expected.

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The site specific Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP) is an action plan aimed to averting or reducing potential environmental impacts associated with the upgrading works of Panchkhal – Melamchi Road. 1.2 Purpose of the Site Specific Environmental Management Action Plan In order to mitigate foreseen environmental impacts, it requires a practical management plan generally referred as Environmental Management Action Plan. This plan suggests appropriate environmental safeguard against foreseeable adverse environmental impacts likely to cause by the proposed road works with responsibility. Main purpose of the EMAP is to:
Identify mitigation measures that will be implemented on road upgrading to prevent or mitigate environmentalimpacts. Promote compliance of the implementation of environmental protectionmeasures. Provide timely warning of potential damage.
2. STATUS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITY Incorrect and reckless excess material disposal is common phenomenon in road works that should not surface up in the road which is under construction. Instead, it should be eliminated and its correct disposal method should be in place. If correct method and safe disposal methods are not applied, it induces slope failure due to spoil disposed over it. To overcome such environmental risks, we will ensure spoil disposal activity with full care to avoid littering of arable land and carry out plantation over soil disposed slope prior to pre-monsoon. For such activity, we will select appropriate locations and obtain full approval from the concerned authorities. As per agreement and Clauses related to Social Safeguard and Environmental protection works, we will use legally approved quarry sites which will be maintained and left in a stable condition without steep slopes and be either refilled or drained and be landscaped by appropriate planting. Rock or gravel taken from a river will be removed over some distance so as to limit the depth of material removed at any location, not disrupt the river flow or damage or undermine the river banks. In addition, we will not deposit excavated material on land in government or private ownership except as directed by the Project Manager in writing or by permission in writing of the authority responsible for such land in government ownership or of the owner or responsible representative of the owner of such land in private ownership and only then in those places and under such condition as the authority, owner or responsible representative may prescribe and or agree with. Further, we will not dump spoil in grazing lands, forest and environmentally sensitive areas like protected areas, unstable hill slope, Local River, pond, lake, area supporting rare plants/animal species etc. It will be dumped in environmentally safe tipping sites that are approved by the Project Manager. In the context of tree loss from government or community forest, only minimal number of trees needed to be cut. Impacts on wildlife nearby road site are also not expected.

1 BACKGROUND Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is being implemented by covenant loan assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB) and counterpart funding from Government of Nepal (GoN). The goal of the project is to support GoN to accelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction following the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershock of 12 May 2015. The project will support the rebuilding of schools, roads, and district-level government buildings, and strengthen resilience to future disasters. EEAP, Loan 3260 for $200 M was approved on 24 June 2015, signed on 21 August 2015 and became effective on 10 September 2015. A) IMPACT AND OUTCOME
The impact of the project is accelerated economic and social recovery in Nepal’s earthquake affected districts. The outcome will be critical economic and social services resumed with disaster- resilient infrastructure. The project has following four outputs: (i) Output 1: Schools are rebuilt and upgraded. At least 700 schools will be rebuilt or retrofitted in line with school reconstruction plans to disaster-resilient standards and equipped with water and sanitation facilities, including sex-disaggregated toilets. About five will be model schools built with information and communication technology equipment, science laboratories, and improved learning spaces. This target has been reduced to 154 school buildings (MTR, October 2017). (ii) Output 2: Roads and bridges are rehabilitated and/or reconstructed. About 135 km of strategic roads and about 450 km of rural roads damaged by the earthquake and landslides will be rehabilitated. Target for strategic and district roads has been reduced to 123.9 km and 525 km respectively (MTR, October 2017). Project roads and bridges will have built back better features for road safety and climate resilience. Construction and maintenance equipment will also be procured. (iii) Output 3: District-level government facilities constructed and/or rebuilt. About 300 district-level government buildings will be rebuilt or retrofitted to disaster resilient standards with basic utilities, and furnished. This target has been reduced to 123 buildings (MTR, October 2017). Transitional district-level government offices will also be established to enable services to continue throughout the reconstruction period. (iv) Output 4: Disaster preparedness and management capacities strengthened. All outputs are assured to be disaster risk resilient. Engineering divisions of all implementing agencies will be strengthened. In December 2016, output 1 was adjusted to 715 schools rebuilt following the agreement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to provide co-financing in the amount of $ 10 million (USAID – Grant 0529). However, in view of the updated cost estimates based on the completed designs and bid price reviewed, this output may not be feasible. The output target, therefore, has been reduced to 154 schools as agreed during the MTR, October 2017.

1.2 Purpose of Safeguard Compliance Monitoring Report The purpose of this Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report is to fulfill the environmental safeguard requirements of the GoN and the ADB. The main purpose of the Semiannual Monitoring Report is to assess the progress on environment and safeguard implementation at the construction sites which includes status of air quality, noise and vibration, quarry site management, spoil management, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), management of construction waste materials and camp site management covering from January to June 2018. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD IN EEAP An Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) was prepared in accordance with ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009. Due diligence report (DDR) with EMP were required for school and office building sub-projects along with incorporating Environmental Management Plan (EMP) into bidding and contract documents to be implemented by contractors.
Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project 120
Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report January-June, 2018
Environmental assessment is the primary administrative tool to integrate environmental considerations into decision making to ensure that proposed development intervention will have minimal environmental impacts. The project falls in category “C” on the basis of rapid environmental and social assessment check lists prepared as per ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS, 2009). Based on the SPS, 2009 DDRs were also prepared for each sub projects.
3 OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD STATUS The overall environmental safeguard status of EEAP in reference to output 1, DDRs reports of all 154 school sub-projects have been prepared and submitted to CLPIU. The status of Environmental Safeguard Planning and Implementation of all sub-projects is presented in Annex 1 and 2.
4 CONSTRUCTION APPROACH EEAP applies National Competitive Bidding (NCB) approach for reconstruction of schools. Contractors have been mobilizing equipment and human resources to execute the contract and complete it within the stipulated time. Spoil disposal has been planned to balance with cutting and filling as far as possible. There will be use of bio-engineering techniques with integrated use of vegetation, civil engineering structures and proper water management systems for slope protection such as retaining walls, breast walls. Overall construction activities will follow the environment friendly approach as much as possible.
The school building blocks are designed and executed as per the motto “Built –Back –Better” formulated by the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA). The approach taken in design and construction includes the following features: Design incorporates earthquake resistant features. Design foresees maximum use of local materials and manpower as far as possible. Design includes environmental friendly measures such as locations of building without risk of landslide, flood etc. It also includes energy saving design, environmental enhancement measures such as trees plantations, landscaping, rain water harvesting etc. where feasible. Most of the constructions are manual and labour intensive with occasional use of small equipment such as concrete mixture, small backhoe for excavation, tractors and small trucks for transportation of materials. No child labour is permitted. Labour safeguard is focused.
5 COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS The environment Safeguards related project activities are generally in compliance with loan covenants. The detail of environment covenants is presented in Table 1.

6 COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENT SAFEGUARD MEASURES Contracts have been awarded for all sub-projects under EEAP and construction works have already been started in all 154 sub-projects. Total 10 schools; 5 schools in Kavreplanchowk and 5 schools in Ramechhap, have been handed over to the respective School Management Committees after completion of the reconstruction works.
For better environmental safeguard compliance of the project, implementation of EMP has been strictly carried out. The summary of environmental compliances are as follows (see Annex 1 & 2 for details). i) Awareness Raising Training A training on Social, Environment, GESI and Technical Aspects for Engineers and Sub- engineers working in District Level Project Implementation Units has been conducted to enhance the technical skills of personnel involved in implementation and supervision of earthquake resilience school building reconstruction. The second regular two days training programme was organized by DSC in collaboration with Central Level Project Implementation Unit (CLPIU) at different district headquarters of the project districts from February 8 through 28, 2018. The course was attended by the Engineers and Sub-engineers of earthquake affected 14 districts (all 8 project districts and 6 additional districts). The total trainees, attended the training programme, from 14 DLPIUs, were 207 in numbers including chiefs. (refer Annex 6; Attachment 1 & 2).

Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report January-June, 2018
ii) Occupational Health and Safety Occupation health and safety have been partially followed. PPE like, helmet, gloves, boots, and jackets have been provided by the contractors to workers, but these PPE were not sufficient in number to the workers. Some workers involved in the reconstructions were found reluctant to use PPE. So they were oriented to use PPE during site visits. Insurance of each worker had been done. So far, no accident during construction had been reported. First aid kit with medicines has been maintained at each construction site. iii) Tree Loss and Plantation Work Due to the space constraints in some schools, felling of trees was unavoidable. During site visit, it was observed that some of the trees were felled during construction. Contractors and SMCs were advised to protect the trees and avoid the felling of trees as far as possible. In Kuseshwor Vidhya Peeth Secondary School in Sindhuli district, a number of trees and Humanteshwor SS four trees were felled. Contractor and SMC both were advised to plant trees within the school premises and submit the list of plants for plantation. Till the reporting period in few schools, plantation has been done. The detail of plantation in school is presented in Annex-3. iv) Camp Site Management Drinking water and toilet facilities were provided to the workers. Temporary toilets were constructed for the workers, but in some sites, workers were using the existing school toilets. Most of the workers are from outside the village. Therefore, contractors have built temporary camps for the workers near the construction sites as required by the labors. Some contractors have rented local house for workers in the vicinities. Workers use LPG as well as firewood for cooking at camp site.
v) Signboard placing Contractors have placed sign boards for contract information at most of the construction sites. Nearly 60 sign boards having contract information have placed at different schools.
vi) Grievance Redress Mechanism GRM mechanism has been established in all sub-projects. So far, 2 grievances have been reported from Kathamndu district. The grievance, at Sitapaila SS, Package no-2 Kathmandu district was about the safety concern due to deep excavation of foundation for school building and impact to adjacent local houses. It was resolved at local level. Similarly, another grievance was raised in Ratna Rajya School Package no-2, Kathmandu district where there is a historic temple on the east side of the school premises which is being worshiped by local community since long time and local devotees are opposing the construction work. Grievance detail is presented in Annex-4.
vii) Spoil Management Spoil disposal sites have been identified and are being managed in specified disposal sites as far as possible. In Krishna Ratna Ganga SS in Sindhupalchowk, spoil was carried and disposed in the nearby village due to the insufficient land to fill the cut materials within the school premise. The spoil is disposed at location where there is the requirement of the fill material as requested by community and there is no protection work required.
Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project 123
Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report January-June, 2018
viii) Air and Water Qualities Air quality within the reconstruction site has been maintained in tolerable level as the reconstruction works of schools generate insignificant amount of dust. Similarly, water quality is not degraded since spoils are managed within the site and stabilized by reinstating natural drainage system.
ix) Slope Stability The master planning of the school is prepared conserving natural land scape of the site. In some unavoidable cases, earthwork in excavation and filling were carried out considering self- slope stabilization of the soil in uphill and downhill of the site with least requirement of breast and retaining walls. Spoils were managed within the site by filling them on the area with gentle contour of the site as far as possible. Slope surfaces created out of the cutting and filling of soil are provisioned with turf.
7 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS The executing agency is the NRA. The implementing agency is CLPIU. Each DLPIU has designated a focal person for environmental safeguards. The focal person has been assisted in conducting environmental assessment, and implementation of EMPs and compliance monitoring by projects consultants. The IA is currently implementing ADB project under this institutional arrangement. Thus, the GoN has sufficient capacity in implementing ADB requirements and strengthening of capacity.
8 ISSUES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION The contractors and DLPIUs should apply following corrective measures:
Table 2. Issues and Way Forward S.N. Issues Way Forward 1 Use of safety gears like helmet, boot, Enforce the workers at site for using the safety gloves and mask. gears. 2 Implementation of bioengineering Identification of bioengineering locations and work for slope protection at land slide carrying out bioengineering activities at areas recommended sites 3 Spoil disposal management Spoil disposal at designated sites and provision of sufficient toe walls and preparation and strict enforcement of spoil disposal management plan 4 Implementation of Environmental Monitor the activities as per approved EMPs Management Plans

1. Background
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake of shallow depth struck central Nepal with an epicenter approximately 77 km northwest of Kathmandu on April 25th causing widespread destruction. On May 12, a large aftershock of a magnitude 7.3 hit Nepal and caused further causalities and damage. As of 3 June 2015, the reported casualties include: 8,702 deaths and 22,493 people injured. According to the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) undertaken jointly by the Government and its development partners, the earthquakes have caused damages in the order of $7 billion, equivalent to about 35% of the country’s gross domestic product. Considering the scale of the disaster, a major recovery effort is required.
The Government of Nepal (GoN) has requested support from a number of development partners, including the ADB, to address the immediate and medium term impacts of the damage inflicted by the earthquake in Nepal. In response to this, ADB approved a $200 million loan to finance the Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) approved on 24 June 2015. The project will support for four outputs which are: a) Output 1: Rebuilding of schools, b) Output 2: Roads c) Output 3: District- Level Government Buildings, and d) Output 4: Strengthening Resilience to Future Disasters. The EAAP is to be completed by 23rd June, 2019.
The National Reconstruction Authority is the project’s executing agency (NRA) on an interim basis until the GON has established a new special purpose agency for the purpose of coordinating and implementing the post-disaster reconstruction program. For output 3, NRA\Central Level Project Implementation Unit (Building) is designated as an implementing agency for rebuilding of district level government buildings.
To implement the output 3 component, a Central Level Project Implementation Unit (Building) has been established based at Kathmandu and District Level Project Implementation Units (DLPIUs) at districts. The CLPIU will be responsible for guiding and monitoring the constructions of government building projects funded by ADB. The consultants will assist the CLPIU and the DLPIUs. The consultants’ support include, among others, overall project management, financial management, construction supervision and environmental monitoring.
CLPIU had engaged joint venture of TAEC-SILT-TSE to execute environmental monitoring of the construction of various government office building projects in 11 earthquake affected districts of Nepal namely Gorkha, Lamjung, Dhading, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Kavrepalanchowk, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Sindhuli, Ramechhap and Okhaldhunga presented in Figures 1 and 2. The overall construction status of Sub-projects is presented in Table 1.
