This Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared as part of the feasibility study for Ashuganj 450 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant South project proposed for construction at Ashuganj Power Station Complex owned by Ashuganj Power station Company Limited (APSCL). The project proponent is the APSCL of the Ministry of Energy and Power. The objective of the study is to help APSCL prepare a power generation project suitable for GoB financing. The Project aims to improve power supply by replacing the old unreliable power plants resulting in reducing load shedding and ensuring stable power supply. This EIA study based on field investigations, coordination with APSCL, requirement of law Department of Environment (DoE), and stakeholder consultations. This report covers the description of existing environmental conditions, assessment of environmental impacts of the power station operation, recommended mitigation measures and environmental monitoring. The environmental impact was considered for activities during pre-construction, construction and operation phases of the Project to satisfy the Department of Environment that it meets with the requirement of law. As power projects are identified as having the potential for environmental impact, the Bangladesh Department of the Environment (DoE) has categorized them as being the “Red Category” of industrial processes. As such, an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) are required. However, the Director General of DOE has exempted IEE and allowed the project proponent to go for EIA for which the project proponent prepared this report through AEL. The EIA has identified various potential impacts and recommended suitable mitigation measures together with a monitoring program. The potential negative environmental impacts are temporary and relatively minor and will occur during construction as well as in operational stages of the proposed project. Again the proposed plant is of advanced design with dry low Nox (DLN) burner with premix burning system which restrict the combustion temperature to 1317OC which is much below the Nox forming temperature (1600OC). Thus possibility of Nox formation is minimal. Since the new plant will be of single gas turbine and of advance design noise and vibration pollution will be less in companion with the existing power stations. The total quantity of water withdrawal will be about 56.67m3/sec by all the units including the proposed 150MW CCPP & 450MW CCPP and the 450MW CCPP South. This water will be discharged back to the river with a temperature rise of 7OC i.e. with discharge temp of 37.54OC. This discharge will not have any tangible effect on entire river water (2050m3/sec). Since the proposed 150MW CCPP will discharge 3.34m3/sec water at 7OC above the temp of river water about 250m upstream of the common intake, the temp of water at intake will be 30.54OC instead of 30OC. Ex-1 However, after immediate vicinity of the discharge point due to instant mixing with equal volume of river water with temp 30OC the temp will be 34.04OC which is much below the limit of 40OC set for the by DoE. There is a permanent jetty at the river bank in APSCL Complex provided with crane of capacity 200ton plus 50ton auxiliary. But this crane require major rehabilitation. After rehabilitation of the crane and with help of some other cranes of appropriate capacity any larger unit can be unloaded. But transportation to the proposed site of Ashuganj 450MW CCPP South is difficult even incase of smaller units since there are no free space to make even temporary road to carry heavy equipment across existing power station premises. The existing railway line and the internal roads could not be extended to the new site because of various obstacles all ready built as different components of the power station. Investigation was made to find out a suitable location at river side near the proposed site. But the immediate nearest riverfront is already occupied by a market and other installation. Further investigation was done to build a temporary jetty at the old ferry ghat about one and a half km away from the site for unloading the equipment and carry the same to the site by lowbuoy carriers. The approach road from old ferry ghat to proposed site was also investigated and found suitable for the purpose. Since the power plant will be within the APSCLs premises, no new requisition of land is required so there will be no question of resettlement. On the other hand, the project will promote significant economic benefits resulting from project operation. Implementation of the proposed mitigation measures and the monitoring program will reduce the impacts to significant levels. At the time of construction, the contractor will implement the mitigation measures identified in the EIA, while project consultants will conduct regular monitoring to ensure contractor’s compliance with applicable provisions of the EMP. The project consultant will assist the APSCL in preparing contractual documents such as bidding documents; bills of quantity and other contractual obligations of the contractor clearly identify environmental responsibilities and describe penalties for non-compliance. The local people expressed support for immediate implementation of the project, as they clearly realized the project benefit during the consultations. Finally, the Project will result in positive environmental and economic beneficial impacts and will have minor negative impacts during construction period which will be carefully monitored and adequately mitigated. The completion of this EIA fully meets the GoB standards. After completion of the project, a post project evaluation would be useful for sustainability and ensuring environmental safeguards of the project. Conclusions The EIA has identified various potential impacts and recommended suitable mitigation measures together with a monitoring program. The potential negative environmental impacts are temporary and relatively minor and will occur during construction as well as in operational stages of the proposed project. Since the new plant will be of single gas turbine and of advance design noise and vibration pollution will be less than those by the existing ones. There will be no water pollution except rising of temp to 37.04OC against river water temp of 30OC. Ex-2 Major transportation will be by river and unloading will be done at a temporary Jetty at the ferry ghat which is only about one and a half a kilometer from away the project site. So, no tangible impact on road network is envisaged. Since the power plant will be within the APSCL complex no new requisition of land is requested. So there will be no question of settlement of inhabitants. Thus it is seen that negative impacts of the project on environment as well as on society are negligible. On the other hand, the project will promote significant economic benefits resulting from project operation. Implementation of the proposed mitigation measures and the monitoring program will reduce the impacts to significant levels. During construction, the contractor will implement the mitigation measures identified in the EIA, while project consultants will

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 & Print ISSN: 0975-5861 Feasible Micro Hydro Potentiality Exploration in Hill Tracts of Bangladesh By Khizir Mahmud, Md. Abu Taher Tanbir & Md. Ashraful Islam Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET), Bangladesh Abstract - The energy demand is expected to grow rapidly in most developing countries over the next decades. For Bangladesh, economic growth has been accelerating and it is expected that the population will grow from an estimated 162.20 million people in 2011 to 200 million by 2050, with almost half of the population living in urban areas. For meeting the expected energy demand as the population will rise and to sustain economic growth, alternative form of energy – renewable energy needs to be expanded. This paper tries to explore the possibility of finding the renewable energy mainly from micro hydro in different places of Chittagong hill tract region by thoroughly describing present condition of energy along with data collection, calculation and feasibility of power generation from July 2011 to Jan 2012.

M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.
