iii 1 Introduction The SASEC Road Connectivity Investment Program (SRCIP) will improve road connectivity and efficiency of the international trade corridor, by expanding about 500 km of roads in the North Bengal and North Eastern Region (NB-NER) of India. The project area under SRCIP is a key strategic thoroughfare integrating the regions of South and South East Asia, and bordering the countries of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Nepal. Improvements in road connectivity in NB-NER will enable efficient and safe transport within India and regionally with other South Asia Sub-regional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) member countries. Ultimately, SRCIP will pave the way from India and other South Asian countries to Myanmar, and further afield to link with the member countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
1.1 Project Objectives The SRCIP will cover both national highways and state roads. The upgrading will be mainly 2- laning with paved shoulders, together with safety features including construction of flyovers at busy junctions and bypasses for smooth thorough traffic. Some sections will widen to 4 lanes to serve future traffic. Performance-based maintenance will be undertaken for 5 years after the construction. The Authority’s Engineer or the Construction Supervision Consultants were engaged for EPC contracts and item-rate contracts, respectively, at the contract level. In addition, the implementation support consultant (ISC) is engaged to support EAs including (i) external monitoring of safeguard implementation, (ii) third-party maintenance quality, (iii) road safety audit, (iii) financial management and (iv) subsequent PFRs submission to ADB.
1.2 Project Description The Government of the India has applied for financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) towards the cost of SRCIP which is a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). The first tranche of the SRCIP covers two packages: Asian Highway No. 02 from Panitanki to Banglabandha (about 37 km) and Asian Highway No. 48 from Changrabandha to Pasaka (about 91 km).
In Asian Highway No. 02 project corridor, the first 1.2 Km of the road from Kakarbitta in Nepal border is a state highway and then the project road joins NH31 C at Panitanki and takes north- east direction to reach Naxalbari and proceeds in mostly easterly direction to reach the junction with NH 31 at Bagdogra. This section from Panitanki to Bagdogra is NH31C and has a 2 lane carriageway. Periodic maintenance including adding paved shoulder in NH31C (Km 16 to Km 32.75 of NH31C in Panitanki – Bagdogra section) have been taken up recently and is nearly completed. The project road continues on NH 31/31C up to Shivmandir More and then project road turns in a southeast direction along the PWD road taking the Shivmandir More – Medical More – Naukhaghat – Teenbhatti More – Fulbari Junction to reach the Bangladesh border. The exiting surfacing is a black topped 2 lane road up to Fulbari Junction. The last section of Fulbari Junction to Bangladesh border, about 2 km is concrete road. Fulbari is connected through rail from New Jalpaiguri Station.

AH-48, passes through a protected area (Jaldhapara National Park) for approximately 2.6 km, government reserved forests for approximately 2 km and includes construction of two new bypass roads totalling about 97 km. One of the two bypasses falls within 10 km of the Buxa Tiger Reserve. No environmentally sensitive areas exist in the other subproject AH-02. As per a new notification issued by MOEF on 22 August 2013 (see para 5(i)), both roads do not require an environmental clearance. However, a forest clearance for diversion of forest land to non- forest purpose is required for AH-48 for the sections of about 5 km passing through the national park and government reserved forests. Project Director, AH-48 has applied for diversion of forest land in 2016 but no response was forthcoming from the Forest Department, Govt. of West Bengal. Subsequently steps have been taken by the PD AH-48 to modify the alignment, through both, the forest area and the national park area as EUP is unwarranted by Chief Wildlife Warden in Jaldapara National Park and also to avoid impacts & subsequent clearances, detail of which is covered on subsequent Section.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports have been prepared for the two subprojects (AH-2 and AH-48) identified under Tranche I as they are located in environmentally sensitive areas, and fall under category A according to the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement.
4.1 Compliance with respect to Environmental Provisions as per Loan Covenants As per the Loan Agreement for SRCIP Tranche – 1, the safeguards are to be complied with as per the Schedule 5 to the FFA during implementation of the Facility.

4.2 Contractors EMP, HSE, Wild life Management Plan etc., A site specific EMP for their respective contract packages updating any requirements that are not addressed in the project documents so far was prepared. Both the EPC contractors of AH- 02 and AH-48 have submitted the EMP documents, and HSE Plan.
The contractors have incorporated reporting system recommended by the ISC and EMWCA, which they would follow. The Environmental Monitoring Plan, HSE plan, Waste Management Plan and Traffic Management Plan for both the contracts has been integrated into the EMPs.
During implementation of the EMP, the AH-48 contractor has to implement the Wild Life Management Plan that is prepared by the EMWCA. The EMWCA has prepared a draft Wildlife Management Plan for the project corridors and submitted to Project Directors offices in Nov 2016. This wildlife management plan included activities related to construction of the underpasses, compensatory afforestation and habitat enhancement through plantation of fodder and shade trees, and creation of water holes for wildlife in the project area. Subsequent revisions to the draft WMP have been carried out based on the high level meetings with Chief Secretary, Govt. of West Bengal, PD AH-48, Forest Department (PCCF (WL) & CWLW; CCF, WL (North) & DFO, Jaldapara WL Division). The revised plan is on the premise that the AH- 48 would be constructed at present level without any elephant underpass but with measures suggested as part of the minutes of meeting provided in the permission as per NBWL guidelines. The revised Wildlife Management Plan was submitted by EMWCA in March 2017 to the project authorities. Details of the measures and chronology of events with respect to the Wild Life Management is reported in detail in the semi-annual report of the EMWCA.

5 Compliance / Status of EMP Implementation In accordance with the loan covenants, EMP implementation is being taken up during the present stage of the project implementation i.e., the construction stage. The PIU with the coordination with ISC and EMWCA has prepared standard formats for monitoring the implementation of the EMP by the contractors. The monitoring formats provide the information on statutory clearances, status of environmental monitoring, safety of workers at construction sites and camp sites, and measures adopted for pollution control etc.,.
The EMP implementation during the reporting period is as per the final approved EMP for both the AH-02 and AH-48. The EMP Implementation during this period of January 2017 to June 2017 was found to be satisfactory, but needs strengthening in the areas such as workers camp facilities, cleanliness and hygiene at the camp site, especially in AH-02.
5.1 EMP Implementation setup in the Project For the effective implementation and management of the EMP, the Contractors for the respective sub-projects have appointed qualified Environmental and Safety Officers. The PIUs have also nominated Assistant Engineers to closely monitor the implementation of the EMP and report to the PD. The task of supervision for EMP implementation is part of the scope of the EMWCA, with overall reporting responsibility of the environmental safeguards to PIU and ADB vests with the ISC. The EMP implementation setup is indicated in the Figure 5-1. The role of each agency in the project is presented in the Table 5-1.

5.3 Pollution Monitoring as per the EMOP Pollution monitoring for both the packages of AH-02 and AH-48 has been carried out by the EPC contractors in the month of March 2017. The contractors finalised M/s Mitra S K Private Ltd., a NABL accredited laboratory for conduct of the environmental monitoring in both the packages.
Environmental monitoring has been conducted at 4 locations in AH-02 for Air, noise and water (two each for surface and ground water samples) and 3 locations for soil monitoring. In case of AH-48, the monitoring has been carried out at 6 locations for all parameters of air, noise, water (three each for surface and ground water) and soil. The monitoring locations chosen represent the urban / semi-urban, rural, forest and other sensitive landuses.
The test results for AH-02 indicate the particulate matter concentration at all locations except at medical university to be higher than standards at PM10 and PM2.5. There is an increase in PM10 concentrations across the project area, with highest being 171 ug/m3 at the Plant Site at km 8+600 and lowest at the medical university at 98 ug/m3. In case of PM2.5, the parameters exceed standards at the plant site and Bagdogra flyover location. The noise quality is found to be higher than the prescribed standards for the respective landuses for all locations with highest recorded as 94.7 dBA at North Bengal University. In case of water quality the ground water is found be having total coliform count. If this water is being used for drinking, disinfection will be required. All other parameters for ground and surface water are observed to be in acceptable range as per the respective standards for the parameters.
The test results for AH-48 indicate the particulate matter concentrations which was in winter lower, has spiked up in three locations including Rangali Bazna camp site. Rest of three locations including camp-1 at Mainagudi was lower than NAAQS for PM10. Similar is the trend for PM2.5. The noise quality is found to be within the prescribed standards for the respective landuses including Jaldapara NP which is regarded as a silence zone and has values of 63 dBA and 51 dBA instead of 50 and 40 dBA for day and night respectively.
Monitored values of all parameters and locations will be incorporated into the final Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMOP) that will be updated by the contractors for implementation as part of the EMP. The test results of environmental monitoring have been provided as Annexure-7 for AH-02 and Annexure-8 for AH-48.
5.4 Training & Capacity Building Training and capacity building is an integral part of the EMP implementation. ISC and EMWCA are involved in training of the contractor’s staff, Authority Engineer and PIU environment officers who are designated for supervision of EMP implementation. Two sessions of training have been conducted so far in the project period. First session is conducted by the ISC on Environmental Management and EMP Implementation and second session is conducted by the EMWCA on wild life management in the project corridors. During the reporting period of January 2017 to June 2017 two sessions on Environment Management related training has been conducted as indicated in the Table below.

5.5 Safety Drills and Tool Box Meetings Regular safety drill and mock fire fighting sessions are being organised by both the EPC contractors of AH-02 and AH-48. The Environment, Health and Safety officers of both the packages have been adequately staffed to undertake safety measures and fire fighting in case of an incidence. Fire fighting arrangements are in place at the plant sites and camp sites of both the contractors and are found to be maintained in satisfactory and functional condition. Likewise tool box meetings are also being regularly conducted to ensure adequate awareness for the staff, labour and other workers in the project.

5.7 HIV / AIDS Campaigns Spreading of HIV / AIDS awareness amongst the workers is also very much important to safeguard them from the risk of contracting or transferring the infections including STDs. Contractors of AH-02 and AH-48 have engaged local NGOs who can conduct the awareness campaigns on a regular basis. The HIV / AIDS awareness campaigns have been initiated from January 2016 onwards in the AH-02 and AH-48. HIV / AIDS campaigns are being conducted regularly in the reporting period of July 2016 to December 2016. Four HIV / AIDS campaigns are conducted in each of the construction package. The details of these camps are indicated in the Table 5-6 below.

5.8 Any other Environmental Aspects / Impacts Observed that are not covered earlier There are no environmental impacts or other environmental aspects that have not been addressed in the EMP have been encountered so far in any of the contract packages.
6 Details of Public Complaints / Grievances and their addressal Public complaints and grievances in both the packages mostly relate to the compensation and assistance provided to the affected persons. The contractors have been advised however, to maintain a complaint register and display a notice for the same for public to register their grievance with them in case of any complaints. Any complaints if received in the due course of the project with respect to environment will be duly summarised and presented in the semi- annual environmental monitoring reports.
7 Follow up Actions and Conclusions It has been observed that most of the measures suggested in the EMP are being implemented by the contractors. Some of the measures related to provision of basic amenities by the contractors and their sub-contractors have to be strictly implemented for better living conditions of the labourers. Follow up actions would be taken to implement these measures. Further, implementation of the Wildlife Management Plan will also need to be undertaken with its finalisation and submittal. Stronger documentation of the EMP implementation shall be insisted upon to reflect the measures that are being implemented. This will provide better evidence and accountability towards the environment and EMP implementation.
