Participatory Small Scale Water Resources Sector Project Environmental Monitoring Report (January-June, 2018)

1. INTRODUCTION Background Participatory Small Scale Water Resources Sector Project (PSSWRSP) is supported by ADB-IFAD and the estimated project cost is $1119.0 million. It is being implemented by LGED within the purview of Local Governments in accordance with the provisions of the National Water Policy. The Project is a follow up of the two previous SSWRD Sector Projects (SSW-I and II) that implemented 580 subprojects from 1995 to 2009. The PSSWRSP will implement 265 new and 147 enhancement Subprojects in 64 districts of the country of Bangladesh, excluding three districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts and five other districts namely Kurigram, Sherpur, Jamalpur, Narayanganj & Shariatpur from 2010-2018. Both new and enhancement subprojects are spread over 28 districts, whereas, 15 districts cover only new subprojects and 13 districts cover only enhancement subprojects The subproject types are Command Area Development (CAD), Drainage (DR), Flood Management & Drainage (FMD), Water Conservation (Rubber Dam) {WC (RD)} and Water Conservation & Drainage (WCD). The major physical interventions in respect of these four types of subprojects will be re- excavation of khals, rehabilitation/construction of embankments and construction of water management structures like sluices, regulators, water retention structures, rubber dam, weirs, etc. Goal The overall goal of the project is to reduce the poverty level of the country by increasing sustainable agricultural and fishery production. The project’s objective is to develop sustainable stakeholder-driven small-scale water resources management system with special attention to the poorer section of the population. The project will have three outputs: i) institutional strengthening of government agencies at all levels to support PSSWR development; ii) participatory subprojects, which will include poor and vulnerable groups, and which will enable WMCAs to plan, implement, operate, and maintain subprojects; and iii) construction and maintenance of up to 265 new PSSWR subprojects and performance enhancement up to 147 subprojects. As there is no change in subproject scope, no adjustment in the environmental safeguard measures has been considered at this point. The project scope has remained the same as that of the one outlined in the project document, 2. STATUS OF PROGRESS OF SUBPROJECT IMPLEMENTATION Overall physical progress of new and enhancement subprojects has been documented in the Project 30th QPR. As reported, the overall progress of subprojects is estimated at 100% against the elapsed time of 100%. Of the total new 265 subprojects, a total of 265 subprojects have been implemented (handed over 255). 18 subprojects have been dropped from the candidate subproject list of 283 as these are not viable due to social conflict. Of the total 150 performance enhancement subprojects, 147 subprojects have been completed and contract of 3 subprojects have been dropped due to social conflict. However, summarized Batch wise information on physical progresses of all new and enhancement subprojects is given hereunder.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SUBPROJECTS The PSSWRSP has undertaken implementation of 265 New and 147 Enhancement subprojects of different categories having benefited areas of 50-1000 ha each by rehabilitation and/or upgrading of existing water management systems. The policy of ADB is

2 to promote environmentally sustainable economic development in developing countries those use ADB’s assistance/support. The SSWRSP has been classified as Category B. Summary and Initial Environmental Examinations (SIEE and IEEs) and environmental assessment and review procedures are done in accordance with the ADB Environmental Policy (2002) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003), and the Bangladesh Government’s environmental requirements. The Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is being prepared for each Subproject. The IEE identifies and highlights all beneficial and adverse impacts that may arise due to implementation of the project. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND MANAGEMENT Considering the impacts as outlined in the IEE report, an Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) is being prepared for each subproject. The EMP defines how mitigation measures suggested in the IEE are being executed and monitored during the design, construction and O&M stages of the subproject. A monitoring program for an important environmental indicator namely water quality of representative sample subprojects will have to be carried out for a minimum period of 5 years. . A set of baseline data will have to be collected before starting operations of the of representative sample subprojects. This monitoring program will be covered by Environmental Lab Technician and Project Implementation Consultant. Also biodiversity impact monitoring for a group of subprojects shall be conducted by a contracted NGO or Consulting Firm. The results of monitoring will then be analyzed and evaluated for designing the required appropriate protective measures against any adverse impacts. Besides water quality monitoring, close supervision and monitoring will be undertaken to ensure that the PSSWRSP is being implemented in an environmentally sound and transparent manner. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING Institutional Arrangements: As regards the institutional arrangements, PMU takes overall responsibilities of the monitoring through the PIU at district and upazila levels and subproject WMCA. Project implementation consultants (PICs) support the PMU. Selection of Monitoring Parameters: The Project (PSSWRSP) has been categorized as ‘B’ in accordance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) and as Orange B using GOB criteria (ECR, 1995). These sub-projects are not located in or near any ecologically sensitive area (ECA) and will not have any significant impact. Further REA screening suggests that typical construction related impacts are associated with the civil works of the subprojects. These impacts are of limited intensity and short duration, and can be mitigated by appropriate measures (as proposed in the EMP) including adoption of good construction practices related to protection of community health and safety. However, considering the above fact, qualitative/quantitative monitoring data of only water (surface and ground water) has been considered in the monitoring outcome. Monitoring data of soil, air, noise, biodiversity etc are excluded from monitoring program as these are expected to produce no notable impact due to the implementation of subprojects. Accordingly, the monitoring parameters/indicators considered for water are pH, electrical -3 conductivity (Eh), dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate-N (NO3-N), phosphate-P (PO4 ), water O hardness (as CaCo3), total dissolved solids (TDS) and Temp ( C), whereas indicators like particulate matters (PM), oxides of sulfur (SOx), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) for air quality has not been considered. Conventional portable water quality test kits are being used for measuring the values of test parameters.

Output 1: Subproject IEE Report Finalization with EMP incorporation Up to June, 2018, the IEE of 283 subprojects with their respective EMP template have been finalized. The template, considering all possible impacts due to implementation activities and their mitigation measures, have been prepared to adapt to the specific requirement of the subproject (Annex-A).

Output 2: Environmental Field Monitoring and Supervision Field monitoring during this reporting period is being undertaken to check and verify whether the subproject Contractors/LCS groups has properly complied with EMP and restoration activities for construction and ancillary sites in the implemented subprojects as specified in the Contract Document and Bill of Quantities, and consequently adhered to the underlying principles of ADB’s Environmental Safeguard Policies in relation to the restoration of construction site.

Output 3: Field Visit to verify the Implementation of EMP and Environmental Good Work Practices during Earth Work & Structure Construction As the part of environmental monitoring and supervision of completed subprojects with relation to EMP compliance and restoration of construction and ancillary sites as well, 20 numbers of randomly selected subprojects (4 subprojects/category x 5 categories) from PSSWRSP have been visited at intervals to verify/examine the status of EMP compliance and restoration of construction and ancillary sites as well. However, a summary of noted observations from field visits is presented in Annex-B.

Output 4: Water Quality Impact Monitoring The impacts of project interventions are intended to be determined through monitoring of changes in water quality in sample subprojects. It has been planned to collect water samples on quarterly basis from 2 sites: one for surface water (from river/canal/beel/pond) and one for groundwater (hand tube well/shallow tube well/deep tube well). Data collected during the first year is used for establishing baseline conditions and then follow-up data of the monitoring period are being compared for assessing impact of project interventions.

The water quality parameters for this monitoring are pH, electrical conductivity (Eh), -3 dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate-N (NO3-N), phosphate-P (PO4 ), water hardness (as CaCo3), total dissolved solids (TDS) and Temp (OC). The water quality test results of target sample subprojects presented in (Annex-C) However, analysis of the water quality test results of sample subprojects has demonstrated basically no remarkable abnormalities with respect to the quality of surface and ground water. Values of all the tested parameters of water quality agree well with the recommended values of the Department of Environment. Only in few instances salinity values of surface

4 water and CaCO3 (Hardness) values demonstrated somewhat irregularities. By and large subproject interventions appear to exert no noticeable adverse impact on water quality in the sample subprojects.

Output 5: Environmental Training/Capacity Building In order to ensure effective and timely implementation of the EMP, in particular, and to enhance the environmental management capacity of Upazila Engineers, Sr. Sociologists, and Socio-economist of project districts, and WMCA members at subproject level, a training program has been developed and undertaken during project period. Once the Upazila Engineers, Sr. Sociologists, and Socio-economist staffs have received appropriate training and have gained adequate experience on environmental related matters, they are expected to train the WMCA members and contractor’s staff, NGOs and other stakeholders. The following aspects are considered in the environmental training programme: • Integrating environmental management in O&M planning by preparing environmental management plan (EMP) for subprojects. • Strengthening the theoretical and practical knowledge of LGED Environmental Lab personnel in order to facilitate smooth operation of lab exercises • Integrating environmental considerations into the effect monitoring environmental issues, impact and management • Strengthening the understanding and environmental knowledge of WMCA members through training In order to achieve the above aspects, a comprehensive environmental training program has been designed. During the current reporting period (January-June, 2018), training of two (2) course events for Environmental Awareness and Local Resource Management has been conducted sixty (60) participated in the training including thirty (30) females (50%). The course events spread over sixty (60) trainee days. Details of the conducted trainings have been outlined in the table below: Details of the conducted training program

However, these will be made available on request. Additionally, in order to enhance the environmental management capacity of contractors and their staff members, training programs at subproject field level /work site are being arranged and undertaken by CM & QCS (Construction Monitoring & Quality Control Supervision) and Environmental Specialist. These training consist of 2 sessions (Session 1: Environmental Awareness Building and Understanding of ECP for Good Work Practices, and Session 2: Contractor’s Self Monitoring and Supervision of subproject environmental works. 7. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN IMPLEMENTING EMP AND ECP Implementing of Environmental Management Plan (EMP), more specifically environmental mitigation measures in different subprojects were found to be more difficult than it was initially expected. One of the major reasons for this was apparent lack of interest on the part of many Engineers to the Contract and the Contractor in the implementation of EMP. Further most of the contractors had no trained works force to address the environmental issues or to implement the EMP/Environmental Specifications of Tender Document. It was very difficult to convince contractors to recruit trained manpower in order to be able to implement EMP/mitigation measures in subproject. It is worthwhile to point out here that sufficient funds must be allocated for environmental management works of subprojects else contractors will show little interest in the subproject related environmental issues. As the subprojects spread over a vast rural area covering 56 districts, frequent field investigation in relation to environmental supervision and monitoring of subproject works has become difficult. During the contract award, it was decided that contactor’s staff would conduct project environmental works with due diligence. Apparently, this did not work properly due to lack of experience and interest of contractor.

8. LESSONS LEARNT One important lesson learnt during implementation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Code of Practice (ECP) was that that no matter how many environmental consultations are made with contractors and field level staff, unless there is proper institutional setup for Environmental Management all these efforts will produce limited sustainable impact. In order to make the environmental monitoring works more effective and transparent; an institutional set-up for environmental monitoring has been proposed for the project and outlined here below: Institutional set-up for Environmental Monitoring: The environmental monitoring will lead to evaluate the physical performance and impact of the interventions inside and outside of the subproject area and to an understanding how the beneficiaries living in the subproject area responds technically, economically and socially to the environment to be created by flood control, drainage and water retention structures. PMO will take overall responsibilities of the monitoring through the PIU at district and upazila levels and subproject WMCA. Project implementation consultants (PICs) will support the PMO. The monitoring will identify environmental impacts during the construction and operation stages. Subproject operation: The subproject beneficiaries have agreed to form WMCA through which they are managing various subproject activities. These include monitoring of environmental issues which will help the beneficiaries to prepare subproject O&M plan to take advantage of flood control and drainage improvement and water retention and formulate practical recommendations to solve subproject induced and related problems. Following the completion of the construction of infrastructure, the WMCAs undertake the overall responsibilities of environmental monitoring in the subproject area. WMCA O&M, Agriculture and Fisheries subcommittees are supporting the Management Committee in the monitoring. The monitoring contributes to create a basis for water resources management in the subproject area through better understanding of the real impacts of the subproject on agricultural and fisheries resources, environment and economic Majority of contractors involved in implementation of PSSWRSP sub-projects have limited experience of Environmental Management of rural infrastructures. They have not recruited any Environmental Scientists or Environmental Engineers to address the environmental issues. Contractors own environmental monitoring, records of non-compliances, corrective actions taken and reporting of assessment of Environmental Management activates are hardly available as most contractors do not have trained staffs to keep these records. As it appears, contractors, their staff and construction workers are not fully aware of Environmental and Social Safeguards in achieving desired level of Environmental Safeguard objectives of the sub-projects. Because of this, environmental issues figure low in priority and are neglected / ignored during all stages of project works.

9. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS It has been observed that implementation of EMP encountered problem due to inexperienced contractors bidding for projects, some contractors sub-contracting work, quoting low price to win contract, hiring of plants and machinery of low quality at low costs. These contractors gave very little importance to health and safety issues or providing better working conditions, construction of labor camps, stack yards etc. Contractors’ contract labors are mostly from rural areas with almost no experience in construction work and on health and safety issues. These labors have hardly any idea of Environmental Management, especially issues of health and work safety at work sites.

In order to incorporate EMP/ECP, Environmental Policy of ADB and Bangladesh Government should be followed by all concerned parties, including Upazila Engineer and XEN. Environmental Management capacity both at field level of LGED and at HQ level needs to be strengthening. Institutional arrangement for Environmental Management of LGED project should be uniform for all the projects and environmental standard should be considered as important as ensuring standard of civil works. Ensuring environmental standard should be considered as important as ensuring standard of civil works. However, this may require a long term planning. Short-term solutions will to encourage XENs/UEs to be more involved in Environmental Management of PSSWRSP sub-projects before they approve payment to contractors. XEN/UE being the Engineer to the contract should ensure proper implementation of EMP/ECP and Environmental Specification of Tender Documents. After completion of civil works, tree plantation and tree caring should be monitored carefully. Trees are part of environmental program and used for slope stabilization and slope protection. Turfing is also an essential component of slope of protection and proper care should be ensured for its maintenance.
