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. 3 Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report for CCRIP, January-June 2016 Table 1: Subprojects for ground water and noise level monitoring SL.

Along with common preventing measures, proper maintenance of vehicles & machineries is being done to minimize/lessen noise level during noisy activities; water spraying is being practiced where dust pollution is occurring. There is no effect of ground water level due to the project implementation. 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. There is no issue identified during this quarter or for next quarter which will have detectable impact on the environment. 7 Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report for CCRIP, January-June 2016 1.
