Executive Summary

Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CCRIP) financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB), KreditanstaltfürWiederaufbau (KfW) and International Fund for Agriculture Development under Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) formally started in 28 February 2013 to increase rural incomes and reduce rural poverty through sustainable economic growth, rural development, social & gender development and improved infrastructure in the project area to be completed by 30 June 2019. This project will promote overall development of the transportation system by constructing, improving and rehabilitating Upazila & Union roads and road structures (brides/culverts), development of growth centres and Cyclone Shelter. The key components of the projects are: (a) Improved Road Connectivity; (b) Improved Market Services and (c) Enhanced climate change adaptation capacity. CCRIP is specially designed for the development of climate resilient infrastructure including roads, bridges and culverts, cyclone shelters and killas, ghats and markets. The project is contributing significantly in employment creation and poverty alleviation specially for LCS member. CCRIP has made substantial progress towards achieving its targets. All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time. The subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the environmental management plan (EMP). Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for different component of the project. Environmental monitoring of different parameters of some specific environmental components have been carried out in the implementation of CCRIP project. Monitoring results compared against the objectives of environmental safeguard or desired outcomes are presented in this chapter. Based on the changed ‘Sample Table of Contents for environmental monitoring report {(Title: Semi/ Annual Environmental Monitoring Report) of ADB, quantative and qualitative monitoring data (e.g, pollution data of water, air, soil, noise, etc.,) having some specific monitoring parameters/indicators (e.g., DO, PH, BOD, COD, etc. for water and so on)} some changes in environmental monitoring has been carried out to examine ground water quality and noise level in 12 sample construction sites/ camps of 12 subprojects of the project (Table 1) during the reporting period. Ground water samles are analysed in the Laboratory of Department of Soil, Water & Environment of Dhaka University. Summary of ground water analytical report is presented in Table 2.

1. Chapter 1: Project Background

1.1 Introduction Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CCRIP) financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB),KreditanstaltfürWiederaufbau (KfW) and International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) under Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) formally started in January 2013 to increase rural incomes and reduce rural poverty through sustainable economic growth, rural development, social & gender development and improved infrastructure in the project area to be completed by December 2018. This project will promote overall development of the transportation system by constructing, improving and rehabilitating Upazila & Union roads and road structures (brides/culverts), development of growth centres and Cyclone Shelter. CCRIP is specially designed for the development of climate resilient infrastructure including roads, bridges and culverts, cyclone shelters and killas, ghats and markets. The project is contributing significantly in employment creation and poverty alleviation specially for LCS member. CCRIP has made substantial progress towards achieving its targets. All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time. The key components of the projects are: (a) Improved Road Connectivity; (b) Improved Market Services and (c) Enhanced climate change adaptation capacity. This report covers major achievements during April-June 2016 including overall project achievement as of 30 June 2016 addressing environmental safeguard issues arisen due to the development activities.

Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report for CCRIP, January-June 2016

1.2 Physical Progress 1.2.1 Scope of Monitoring The project area encompasses 12 districts of south western Bangladesh (Figure 1) in three regions in the three administrative divisions. These districts are: i. Khulna Region: Khulna, Satkhira and Bagerhat Districts in Khulna Division; ii. Barisal Region: Barisal, Jhalokathi, Patuakhali, Barguna, Bhola and Perojpur Districts in Barisal Division and iii. Madaripur Region: Madaripur, Gopalganj and Shariatpur Districts in Dhaka Division. The project is subdivided into 666 subprojects and each subproject comprises a package of different types of infrastructures. Improving rural roads and associated infrastructures will provide local inhabitants with efficient transport to markets and trading centres and access to social and welfare services. Results of these IEEs/EMPs concluded that, the road and the market subprojects will have some small and localized adverse environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs. Accordingly, out of the 666 subprojects of CCRIP, 140 subprojects funded by ADB falls under environmental monitoring as follows: i. Upazila Road: 52 Subprojet; ii. Growth Centre: 18 Subproject and, iii. Large Rural Market: 70 Subproject.

1.2.2 Physical Progress of Project Activities Physial works are in progress in all the 12 district under three regions. Componentwise physical progress of project activities for environmental monitoring are i. Upgrading Upazila Road: Total awarded subproject under upgrading upazila road is 25 of which construction works are goning on in 24 subprojects in 11 districts of the three regions. ii. Development of Growth Centres: Total awarded subproject under growth cente development is 14 of which construction works are goning on in 11 subprojects in 9 districts of the Barisal and Khulna regions iii. Development of Large Rural Market: Total awarded subproject under large rural market development is 32 of which construction works completed in six subprojects under Barisal and Khulna region. Construction works are goning on in 23 subprojects in 11 districts of the three regions. 1.2.3 Reporting Period This quarterly report covers major achievements during the period April-June 2016 including overall project achievement as of 30 June 2016 addressing environmental safeguard issues arisen due to the project development activities. 1.2.4 Monitoring Requirements The subprojects of CCRIP are categorized as “category B” for environmental project classifications as per ADB guidelines, and ‘Orange B’ as per Department of Environment, Government of Bangladesh. So, following ADB categorization, implementation of the subprojects required Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) including Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which has been prepared. Results of these IEEs/EMPs concluded that, the road/market subprojects will have some small and localized adverse environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs. All bidding documents of CCRIP subprojects include EMP as Environmental Compliances, and contracted contractors are briefed and trained in pre-/post- bid sessions for proper implementation of EMPs. A mandatory Environmental Compliance Certificate with each Interim Payment Certificate has been introduced for all ongoing sub-projects. This certificate submitted by the Contractor and duly verified and certified by the Upazila/Executive Engineer certifies compliances of the

Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report for CCRIP, January-June 2016

Environmental Attributes in the IEE/EMP reports of CCRIP sub-projects. No payment will be released without this certificate. According to monitoring requirements, Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMR) to be submitted on quarterly/semi-annual and annual basis.

1.3 Changes in project scope There is no any change in project scope or adjusted environmental safeguard measures for the project. So far, no adverse environmental scenario has arose and/or observed in any of the sub-project construction sites necessitating any correction in the proposed environmental management plan or formulation of a changed and/or revised management plan. Neither, any failure in the time frame of preparation and completion of EMP implementation is likely. However, corrective action plan/s will be adopted in case of any unexpected scenario.

2.3 Chapter 3: Results of Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Measures Environmental monitoring of different parameters of some specific environmental components have been carried out in the implementation of CCRIP project. Monitoring results compared against the objectives of environmental safeguard or desired outcomes are presented in this chapter. Based on the changed ‘Sample Table of Contents for environmental monitoring report {(Title: Semi/ Annual Environmental Monitoring Report) of ADB, quantative and qualitative monitoring data (e.g, pollution data of water, air, soil, noise, etc.,) having some specific monitoring parameters/indicators (e.g., DO, PH, BOD, COD, etc. for water and so on)} some changes in environmental monitoring has been carried out to examine ground water quality and noise level in 12 sample construction sites/ camps of 12 subprojects of the project (Table 6) during the reporting period.

To protect slope of road from soil erosion vativer grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) is being planted (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Planting of Vativer grass for slop protection and erosion control

Air quality monitoring is not much important since impact is low for rural/urban infrastructure projects except producing dusts sometimes. Dust pollution is being controlled by water spray (Figure 3) as and when it is required.

Figure 3: Water spraying for dust control

Noise & vibration is the issue only when heavy vehicle moves and heavy machineries are in operation. Noise and vibration levels are minimized by maintaining machineries in good working conditions, using noise minimizing kits, carrying out construction works only at day times, etc. Noise levels were monitored at 12 different construction sites. Actual observation on noise level monitoring are presented in Figure 4 and Table 7.

Considering the nature and period of construction activities ground water quality monitoring was not included in the EMP and for that reason it was not monitored earlier. Now, to fulfil requirements of ADB according to new environmental monitoring format, ground water quality at twelve road/ market construction sites/ camps were analysed and analytical results are presented inTable 8 and the reports are placed in Annex A. Collection of ground water samples are presented in Figure 5.

3. Chapter 4: Recommendation and Conclusion Environmental safeguard issues are very important to address for all sector of development. The road and market development subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the EMP. Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for road and market development components of the project. The CCRIP is addressing, formally and/or informally, environmental safeguard issues highlighted in the environmental management plan prepared for different component of the project at different stages of project implementation for different components. There is no issue identified during this quarter or for next quarter which will have detectable impact on the environment.
