1.2 The Project Area The Project road is located in Merke Region of Zhambyl Oblast under Tranche-2 road section km 310+500-km 389+400 (Kulan-Merke and Merke-Blagoveschenka. The project road is divided into two parts such as km 310+500- 358+600 and km 358+600-km 389+400. The project road passes through the transient zone between the foothills and steppes of the Alatau Mountains that border Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The road traverses vegetated drainage channels that flow intermittently during infrequent periods of heavy rainfall (isolated storms). Most of the road is bordered by flat / slightly undulating ground that has light to moderate grass cover or cropped land. Location of the Project road in terms of contracts is shown in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.2 andFigure 1.3 respectively.

The relief, basically plain, formed the merged cone of detritus of numerous and temporary water passage, dry narrows, developed in quaternary deposits, and tectonics-accumulative types are prevailing. Chu Channel has the general bias of northward, further from foothills and the relief more plainly.

The surface of the project location is slightly hog-backed, complicated by numerous dry, narrow channels of temporary stream, depth of incision reaches 20-30m at root of a mountain and decreases inboard of a hollow, up to 1.5 m and less, in some areas, merge with the general surface. In narrows and in floodplains, grows fruit trees and miscellaneous herbs. There are water-logged sections.

Essentially soil covering is presented by pastures, arable lands, and also hay-makings. Practically along the whole length of a line, apart from rare intervals, are marked artificial plantation forests over a distance 10-40 m on both sides of road.

In the course of realization of archeological examination, it was revealed and investigated that there are 13 objects, recognized by monuments of history and culture. All 13 investigated monuments are located outside a buffer zone (about 200), on distance from 210 m to 2140 m from the designed axis of the motorway.

The climate in the project area is generally temperate and continental. Temperatures are hot in the summer, reaching past 30° Celsius (C); in winter, they fall well below freezing to as low as –25°C. Part of the corridor, close to the mountains, has unpredictable weather with severe rainstorms in the summer and blizzards in the winter, creating hazardous road conditions. Being at about 44° North latitude, the area has approximately 8 hours of daylight in the winter and 16 hours in full summer.

Springs are short and warm, with frequent cold spells and frost occurring until late May. The frost- free period lasts a minimum of 160 days, then autumn is dry and warm. The warmest months are July (with an average temperature of 23.8°C) and August (with an average temperature of 22.3°C), and the coldest month is January (with an average temperature of– 6.6°C). Absolute peak values recorded over the past two decades are a summer maximum of44°C and a winter minimum of – 40°C. The average annual precipitation ranges from 360 to 465millimeters (mm), whereby 187–252 mm falls during the warm period (April–September).Extended drought periods have been more frequent during recent years. At the end of winter, the soil freezes to depths of up to 1.3 m, strongly affecting local road conditions andmaintenance.

Air quality in the project area is not well documented. Modeling results from the preliminary EIA prepared by the MOTC indicate roadside levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and soot within Kazakhstan norms, while nitrogen oxide and lead show levels that exceed them.

The road section crosses many small creeks and four rivers (Aspara, Kaindysai and Koltogan, Big Chu Channel).Groundwater aquifers occur at two levels. The shallow groundwater aquifer is 1–2 m below the surface and is affected by surface water contamination originating from storm water runoff and drain water from croplands. The deep groundwater aquifer, located 20–30 m below the surface, remains most likely unaffected by the planned road works.

The road corridor is part of a tectonic depression. According to seismic risk zoning of Kazakhstan, regional seismicity can reach magnitudes of up to 8 on the open Richter scale.

Ecological resources are not highly developed in the project area due to the geomorphologic uniformity. Steppe habitats are prevailing, with scattered (seasonal) wetlands developing in depressions and along roads. The area is occasionally used by migratory birds (flyway to Siberia). Natural forests are absent, but their ecological function has been resumed by extensive roadside plantations. Ash, elm, and poplar are the predominant trees.

Wildlife is typical for a Central Asian steppe and grassland biotopes, with few rare or endangered species. According to the environmental department in the city of Taraz, no suchspecies have been seen in the project area. The wetlands do have more enhanced biodiversity,mainly waterfowl and reed grasses. Local fish faunas seem well developed and are used inrecreational fishing activities. Some fish are migratory, whose populations peak in May. Nosensitive habitats or areas exist under criteria specified in the Ramsar Convention or asprotected areas within a 100 km distance of the road.

The baseline information gathered before the performance for construction of roads conducted (preconstruction stage) are as follows:

2.3.3 Contract No NCB-1 and NCB-2 - Aksioma Service Contract” LLP In pursuance of the requirements of “Technical Specifications” and Contract Terms during the reporting period the Contractor was produced Environment Mitigation Plan and Monitoring Programme. For implementation of Operational Environmental Monitoring, the Contractor has entered into a Contract with the accredited laboratory ZhB “KESO Otan” LLP under the Contract No. 79 ЖФ, however for the reporting period the Contractor was not submitted any analytical results of environmental quality parameters.

The building site is a ground of Road maintenance depot at the 163 km of the Almaty-Korday- Blagoveshchenka-Merke-Tashkent-Termez road (turning to Otar) in Zhambyl region.

The area of the plot of RMD makes 1,5 ha, including building area – 258,3 m2, landscaping area – 6269,1 m2, coverage area – 6972,6 m2

Atmospheric air

The main pollution sources at thorough repair of complex of buildings and facilities of RMD-34 are special construction engineering (excavator, bulldozer, crawler crane), motor transport, a mobile welding station, which have a negative effect on the community air.

The main polluting substances, those form at the building process: inorganic dust Sio 20-70%, benzapyrene, aldehydes, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, soot, carbon oxide, hydrocarbons.

At a stage of construction works operation of motor transport and the construction special equipment, working on diesel fuel is expected. For assessment of the amount of harmful emissions, the Contractor used their specific value from РНД 211.1.03.01-96, Алматы, 1996and fuel consumption values for the whole construction period.

Construction period of the complex of buildings and facilities of RMD in the v. Otar. Zhambyl region will last 22 months, during this period a negative effect on the atmospheric air takes place (operation of machinery and units), water resources are used, and also formation of the wastes of production and consumption takes place, there was no negative effect on land and biological resources.

Pollution of the community air at the construction period of the complex of buildings and facilities of RMD is conditioned by operation of construction diesel engineering.

Water Resources

The source of water supply on the site – is an existing artesian well. For production needs and watering of green plantations in the territory the service water is used.

Norms for calculation of the volume of household water use for the needs of construction personnel are accepted at the rate of 30 l/day per person (Construction Rules and Regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan 4.01-02-2001), and also for technological needs.

Dumping of household drains, forming in the course of construction and further operation of the complex of buildings and facilities of RMD is carried out in the concrete cesspool and then on the grounds of the contract with the specialized organization it is removed to filtration fields.

In connection with small water consumption and the lack of industrial drains the negative effect of construction of the complex of buildings and facilities on superficial natural water bodies and ground waters is not expected.

Wastes

Expected impact on soil cover can be expressed in its pollution by construction materials, wastes of production and consumption, petroleum products when filling the equipment with fuels and lubricants. However for the construction period crushed stone, bitumen, cement etc. are used directly from “wheels” without construction of temporary grounds for construction materials, collection of domestic and construction wastes, their timely removal are provided. Storing or burial of toxic, radioactive wastes, solid domestic wastes are excluded by construction technology.

When carrying out construction works solid domestic waste (SDW), construction waste and stubs of welding electrodes are formed. Construction waste is formed during construction works, when carrying out plaster and face work. The structure of waste can include, for instance, cement remains – 10%, sand – 30%, breakage of ceramic tile – 5%, plaster – 55%. By accumulation it is removed from the territory to the rural landfill.

Stubs of welding electrodes are remains of electrodes after their use at welding works in the course of repair of main and auxiliary equipment. They are placed in containers on a waterproof surface.

The Contractor has entered into an Agreement with “Housing and communal services enterprise of the akimat, Korday region” for rendering services on removal of solid domestic waste for legal entities.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 3.1 Overview

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was designed to avoid, reduce, or at least minimize the adverse environmental impacts that could result from the activities during the implementation and operation of the project. Accordingly, the EMP considered all phases of the Project cycle, namely the detailed design, construction and operational phases of the Project. It consists of various mitigation measures needed to be undertaken in the course of the Project cycle.

All potential environmental impacts identified in the Environment Impact Assessment Report for the said Road project are listed in the EMP. The description of the respective proposed protection or mitigation measures, their attributes and the responsible entities for their implementation were also presented vis-à-vis the impacts. This EMP was presented in a matrix form in the EIA Report and is being used as the basis of the periodic monitoring activities during the construction period of the Project road.

3.2 Implementation of the EMMP The Contractor is responsible for implementation of EMMP during construction works and Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) is primarily responsible for supervision of monitoring of the implementation of the EMMP. The CR engaged PMC as an external monitoring consultant’ to monitor implementation and supervision of EMMP. As such, the PMC-ADB, CSC monitors and measures the progress of implementation of the EMP on behalf of the borrower/client.

Site inspections were conducted on various environmental aspects of the project and these were audited to form part of the Monthly Progress Report. Domestic environmentalist and International Environmental Specialist went to assess various sites along the Project Road as well as other locations that might pose some environmental concerns in the vicinity of the road such as the active quarry, Contractor’s campsite, batching plant, equipment maintenance sites, etc. During the inspection, a number of environmental and safety issues were observed and noted. These issues were subsequently brought to the attention of the personnel concerned on the CSC side as well as discussed with the Contractor’s side. The issues observed were generally concerning with the active quarry operations and rehabilitation, potential contamination in proposed material plants, noise and dust generation at soil hauling areas, and contractor’s work camp housekeeping. Following CSC’ direction and advice, the Contractors should implement these corrective actions and follow up on these actions to ensure their effectiveness.

3.3 Site Inspection and Audits According to the observations made during the site inspections by Supervision Consultant (CSC) further improvements were done at the sites. Joint weekly inspections of the CSC with the Contractor, Joint inspections, and monthly meetings have helped to sort out some of the problems at the site. The following Table 3.1 presents the summary of site visits.

(Land plot of neighbors located opposite to the house of complainant). The claimer was asked to make an agreement with land owners about this. .

There were no complaints and social problems received from depot contractors (Aksioma and Kulagar) as of December 2012.

Public Relations KCC and KDS have held a series of information sessions for local communities to keep them informedabout construction progress and upcoming activities.

Construction works are located in rural areas that have limited access to electronic media suchas the internet. Local communities are informed at meetings with KCC and KDS staff and by localauthorities (village akimats) who are briefed directly by Contractor’s management. In addition, thecontractors have produced a series of posters, public notification and provided information tolocal newspaper for distribution to local communities before commencement of construction works. .

Rehabilitation of Lands

The complex of technological processes connecting with arrangement of earth bed brings the most harmful effect on environment. First of all soil contamination usually is observed on temporary occupied sites for quarry, construction sites, reconstructing motor road. Soil contamination occurs mostly by fallout of finely dispersed, solid, pulverous particles from the atmosphere on surface brought by the wheels of cars from the roads and driveways with the unimproved pavement because of partial loss of transported bulk materials, products of tires and coatings abrasion and toxic components of exhaust gases from automobiles.

Soil erosion as a result of the reconstruction of the road in the roadside is of low-probability, because the main operations were carried on the existing road with protection work in the drainage system. Some soil

International Transport Corridor CAREC 1, Taraz-Korday in Zhambyl oblast (Project Two) Loan 2562-Kaz Bi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report Page 75

Dohwa Consulting Engineers Co., Ltd erosion may occur in areas of construction,material mining, but this erosion has limited area time, and low-impact because the sites are located lands which have low value for agricultural purposes. The most important stage of capital repair of the motor road section is rehabilitation of lands destructed in the process of road construction work performance. Project for rehabilitation of lands was developed in accordance with the requirements of current legal documents of RoK: 1) guidance on the development of projects for reclamation of disturbed lands in Kazakhstan GosNPTszem, 1993, and 2) general requirements for land reclamation, GOST 17.5.3.04-83 3) "Instruction on the development of projects for rehabilitation", Astana, 2009 4) the decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 8, 2003 № 1037 "on approval of standards for compensation of losses of agricultural and forestry lands, caused by the withdrawal of agricultural and forest land as to be used for purposes not related to agriculture and forestry", 5) rules for compensation of losses concerning agricultural production with setting off the sums spent on land's rehabilitation.

Rehabilitationoflandstemporaryoccupiedforoverhaulrepair of the motor road was performed for the following objects:

- rehabilitation of temporary occupied lands for construction site of the Contractor; - rehabilitation of other temporary sites for various purposes; - reclamation of temporary access roads to the objects of construction; - rehabilitation of lands earlier (before flattening) occupied by existing motor road.

Complex of works for rehabilitation of lands destructed in the process of overhaul repair of the motor road consists of 2 stages: the first stage – technical rehabilitation including activities for stripping and storage of top soil, vertical leveling of land surface after development, flattening of slopes, return of top soil layer on designed surface, treatment of soil surface by blade cultivator; the second stage – biological rehabilitation including activities for fertility restoration of disturbed lands after the first stage, pre-planting cultivation of soil, planting of perennial grasses and post-seeding rolling.

4. CONCLUSION The second biannual environmental monitoring report of 2012 relates to the progress of implementation of the EMMP during the last six months (July to December) of 2012 in respect of various work components of Contracts (contract 004 and 005) and Depot contractors (Contract No. NCB 1, NCB 2, NCB 3 abd NCB 4(under Tranche 2 (Zhambyl Oblast Section). This report is being developed by Environmental Specialist of CSC based on the feedback from and inconsultation with Supervision Engineers, review of pertinent environmental documents (EIA and EMP of the project, EMMP report prepared by the contractors, required permit and licenses); site visits,incorporating the results of the required sampling, laboratory analysis and measurements. Physical work in km 358-389 (Kazakhdorstroy LLP) has been finished about 4 months ahead of the schedule and the site has been handed over to the MOTC in December, 2012. Physical works in km 310- 358 (KCC E & C) is scheduled to be completed by June 2013.

During the reporting period from July to December 2012, the contractor of KCC E & C (contract No. 004) has conducted monitoring of ambient air, noise and water samples. The monitoring results of all the parameters are within the standard of Republic of Kazakhstan.

Kazakhdorstroy (KDS) has performed environmental quality (air, water, noise) monitoring works as per their schedule. Indicators of air tests for the second half of the year did not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations. Indicators of natural water test in Koltogan River did not exceed the maximum permissible concentrations. Monitoring of water in Big Chu Channel was conducted only in November, because there was no water in the river during the previous months. Indicators of noise and vibration tests did not exceed permissible values , since the bulk of the work was performed away from settlements.

The status of various activities undertaken by the Contractors right from the Contract signing to setting up site offices and construction camps, mobilization of equipment and manpower site clearing, cut and fill activities, earth works, operation of quarries, movement of vehicles and construction materials were provided in the EMMP matrix and as per Technical Specification.

The quarry operation is being undertaken by the contractor within the purview of the rules and regulations in Force and according to Environmental management plan developed by them. All the Contractors (KCC and KDS) have obtained the necessary approvals and licenses from the relevant Authorities for quarry operations and subsequent operations are to be in accordance with the requirements of these Authorities.

Sitting and operation of Cement and Concrete Batching Plants have been undertaken in accordance with all current rules and regulations for protection of environment.

Both of the campsites were observed pollution of household wastes. There is rubbish and debris scattered at camp territory, the toilets are usually dirty with trash; drains are filled up with garbage and ultimately clog to flow the waste water. The CSC has requested to the Contractor to often implement housekeeping work to keep these areas in cleanliness and sanitary condition.

Both Contractors took reasonable precautions to maintain the health and safety of the Contractor’sPersonnel and to provide a safe work environment.

At the direction of the Engineer, both the Contractors provided dust suppression measures, watering of the works and roads, and other areas immediately adjacent to the Construction Works.

International Transport Corridor CAREC 1, Taraz-Korday in Zhambyl oblast (Project Two) Loan 2562-Kaz Bi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report Page 78

Dohwa Consulting Engineers Co., Ltd

Both Contractors prepared necessary plan and executed the work so as to minimize the possibility of pollution of areas adjoining the construction work sites or any area utilized by the Contractors for the project, from contaminants such as petroleum products, trade waste, garbage and other noxious substances.

The tree cutting is carried out in accordance with the procedures after getting the permission and relevant acts are drawn up.

Works on rehabilitation of lands which was occupied for road construction were executed by KDS LLP in compliance with normative, legislative norms and rules. KCC will be conducted land rehabilitation process through technical and biological process after completion of all construction works.

Environmental report of all 4 depot contractors was submitted. The reports and inspections indicated that depot contractors are being trying to implement the requirements of the EMMP. They did not conduct monthly monitoring of air, water and noise and vibration on the construction site.

During the reporting period, some non-compliances issues were identified and they have been instructed to measure corrective action as per technical specification.

Decision was made that the contractors shall respond to the issues, while the domestic environmentalist shall actively monitor the compliance and report them to the International Environmental Specialist. It is important that the domestic environmentalist should follow through with the Contractor on the items that were not yet acted upon, as well as those in progress. A consistent follow through inspection is necessary in order to improve the environmental performance of the project to the satisfaction of the MOTC (Employer) and ADB (Financier).
