EMR Environmental Monitoring Report Part I Introduction

This Bi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report covers the time period from July to December of 2017.

The Report was prepared with close cooperation with Project PMC/Engineer, which is the joint venture of French “Safege” and Spanish “Eptisa” companies for T1 and T2. 1. The RA has selected the Bavra-Yerevan-Agarak route as the North-South Road Corridor to be rehabilitated, reconstructed and expanded and has appointed the “North-South road Corridor Investment Program PIU” SNCO of the Ministry of Transport, Communication and Information Technologies (MOTCIT) to co-ordinate the work. The “North-South Road Corridor Investment Program Implementation Unit” SNCO and “Transport Projects Implementation Unit” State Institution were united and “Transport Project Implementation Organization” SNCO (TPIO) was established. The Program is funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under a multi-tranche funding facility (MFF).

2. The MFF is designed to rehabilitate and upgrade national north-south roads to form a new, upgraded and expanded North-South highway. The main objective is to widen the existing 2-lane roads to become 4-lane divided roads along existing alignments wherever possible or to construct new alternate 2-lane roads where a single 4-lane road would not be feasible.

3. Tranche 1 Project is to improve two road sections of the North-South Corridor, namely, the M-1 section of road north from Yerevan to Ashtarak from km 18+370 to km 29+773 (Section 3 in the contract with Contractor) and the M-2 section of road south from Yerevan to Ararat from km 9+312 to km 47+400 (Section 2 in the contract with Contractor).

4. The Tranche 2 Project starts at km 29+600 in Ashtarak and end at km 71+500 close to Talin (Section 1 in the contract with Contractor). Two bypasses will be constructed in Agarak starting at km 29+934 to km 32+600, and in Ujan from km 36+600 to km 40+300. The Project will also have a new road alignment (8.95 kilometres) at Katnagbyur starting from km 59+950 to km 68+900 that will be located on the left side of the existing highway to join the existing alignment in Talin.

3.2 Compliance with ADB Safeguards 3.2.1 In order to ensure the environmental performance, it was supervised that the implementation of construction activities meets EMP requirements which is prepared in accordance with ADB Environmental Policy and RA legislation.

3.2.2 Prior to operating any site for topsoil stockpiling and excavated material disposal in Ashtarak- Talin M1 Road Tranche 2, the Site-specific Environmental Management Plan containing the identification of site-specific environmental impacts, risk assessment and mitigation measures is being prepared by Contractor guided with the Environmental Safeguards Information kit prepared by ADB Central & West Asia Department Safeguards Unit. The TPIO adopted and requests the PMC/Engineer and Contractor to pursue following procedures:: (i) Contractor selects the site for topsoil stockpiling or dumping of excavated material; (ii) PMC/Engineers’ NES and NAE visit the site and provide Contractor with site evaluation report with identified sensitive receptors and recommendations on the site use; (iii) Contractor secures the site and prepares SEMP based on the findings of evaluation report and submits for PMC/Engineer’s approval; (iv) The NES reviews the SEMP and issues an approval; (v) Then Contractor is permitted to start the site operation.

3.2.3 As category “A” project, ADB continues to conduct review missions at least every 6 months to check compliance of “North-South Road Corridor Investment Program” activities to ADB SPS (2009) requirements. ADB mission conducted loan reviews in North-South road corridor investment program, Tranche 2 during their sites visits in July, 2017. To monitor the ongoing situation joint visit was organized by the environmental specialists of the TPIO with the International Environmental specialist and National Environmental Consultant of ADB on 10 July 2017. Environmental compliance was reviewed during the visits.

3.3 Contractor’s Compliance with the EMP 3.3.1 Contractor is guided by the EIA and EMP for Tranche 2 as a part of the Bid and Contract documents, Site-specific Environmental Management plans, as well as by the Contractor’s Environmental Management Plan prepared by the contractor that detail on site environmental management requirements implementation and management, particularly construction impacts mitigation, monitoring and reporting requirements in order to ensure the environmental performance. Compliance with EMP is being regularly monitored and reported (see Part III Environmental Monitoring).

3.3.2 Pre-construction public hearings have been implemented by Contractor in communities impacted by the Project to meet the ADB SPS (2009) requirements on information disclosure and public participation.

3.4 Approvals of the Site-specific environmental management plans for Quarries, Borrow Pits, Blasting works, Excavated Material Dumping, Topsoil Stockpiling, Concrete Batching Plants and Historical monuments 3.4.1 The SEMPs for the following sites have been approved during the reporting period: Kosh-4 TSS (topsoil stockpiling site in Kosh community at km 40+800) and Aghtsk-2 TSS (for topsoil stockpiling in Aghtsk community at km 36+000). During the reporting period all generated topsoil was temporarily stockpiled at Talin-1, Talin-3, Kosh-4 and Aghtsk-2 topsoil sites.

3.4.2 There was no disposal of excavated materials during the reporting period. All the limited amount of excavated earth material has been re-used for construction purposes. Contractor is buying material form the existing quarries and didn’t open any new borrow pits.

3.4.3 The SEMPs for blasting works at km 48+140-49+600, 59+280-59+380, 64+350-64+480, 64+720-64+780 and 70+080-70+770 were approved by Engineer.

3.4.4 Detailed information on SEMPs for topsoil stockpiling and excavated material disposal is provided in monthly progress reports. No one site is declared by Contractor as closed. Status of topsoil stockpiling sites and excavated material dump sites, and the SEMPs for their operation as of 31 December 2017 are presented in Annex A.

3.5 ADB Mission 3.5.1 To check compliance of the Program activities to the ADB SPS (2009) requirements an ADB audit missions took place in July, October and November, 2017. Site visits were held to monitor ongoing civil works in construction sites, Kaqavadzor concrete plant area, topsoil stockpiling sites and excavated material dumping sites. The environmental specialists of the TPIO, PMC/Engineer and Contractor with the National Environmental Consultant and International Environmental Specialist of ADB were participated and discussed the possible environmental, Health and Safety Issues. The International Environmental Specialist of ADB participated in visits in July and November. 3.6 A post-construction environmental audit for the Tranche 1 Road Sections 3.6.1 In addition to the previous post-construction environmental audits for the Tranche 1 Road Sections that took place in 2016, another post-construction environmental audit had been implemented in October, 2017. Environmental specialists of the Employer, PMC/Engineer and Contractor as well as IES of PMC/Engineer participated in the audit. The audit showed that construction works implemented during Defects Liability Period were appropriate and satisfactory in terms of all prescribed conditions in EMP to avoid or minimize environmental negative impacts in Yerevan-Ararat and Yerevan-Ashtarak road sections. Because the road maintenance was not anymore responsibility of the Contractor, the audit is considered the final one. The completed checklist is attached in Annex F.

3.7 Trainings and awareness raising orientation 3.7.1 On October 05, 2017 Environmental Staff of the Contractor with NES of the PMC/Engineer organized and implemented Environmental, Health and Safety training course for the workers of “AAB” LLC, “Aparag” LLC, “Betonica” LLC, “Dental Import” LLC, “Hydroenergetica” LLC, “Kamurjshin” LLC, “Feroinsa” LLC, “Mirada” LLC, “Bekor” LLC and “Mostovik” LLC subcontractors and “Corsan Corviam Construction” S.A. During the different courses, constructions workers were informed about possible negative environmental impacts and its mitigation and prevention measures as well as health and Safety requirements for the workers and machinery on site, preventive measures during the earth works, structural works, concrete and precast plant, general measures to keep on site and HS documentation. 51 participants attended the training.

3.7.2 Archaeological chance finds training for the Contractor’s and sub-contractor’s staffs was held on November, 2017. More detailed information is in Contractor’s monthly progress report of November, 2017.

3.8 Archaeological Works Program 3.8.1 All archaeological excavations planned according to Archaeological Work Plan were completed. During the implementation of construction works in the reporting period no archaeological chance finds or artefacts have been found.

3.8.2 In order to avoid large archaeological excavations and save the ancient settlements from destruction a new alignment is proposed to bypass archaeological structures discovered during archaeological excavation by the Contractor in Agarak Historical-Cultural Preserve. Although the new alignment will pass through the Agarak Historical-Cultural Preserve, the preliminary survey done by archaeologists of Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SNCO NAS RA showed that its impact will be minor. The design work is planned to be done in 2018.

3.8.3 First stage of assessment of the vibration impact caused by operating vibration roller on the Caravanatun in Aruch (at Km 50+800) was implemented by the sub-contractor “Georisk” in August, 2017. The risk analysis and report identifies the sites beginning from which operation of vibration roller would not be allowable or would be dangerous in terms of the impact it may have on Caravanatun. Therefore, during construction works, the vibration roller will be used considering the critical points. The PMC will propose another compacted method to be used close to the critical points which shall be assessed by the Georisk. 3.8.4 Status of archaeological excavations as of 31 December 2017 is presented in the Annex B.

3.9 Grievance redress mechanism and Consultations 3.9.1 Grievance redress mechanism to address the complaints/suggestions of communities on excessive dust, noise, improper waste dumping and on other environmental issues is established which is described in Tranche 2 Environmental Impact Assessment. The grievance redress mechanism is additional to the existing channels of petitions in the form of letters and personal pleas established by local governments.

The Grievance Procedure and Redress Mechanism steps are shown graphically in figure 2.

Part III Environmental Monitoring

4. Monitoring

During the reporting period monitoring activities were carried out according to the Monitoring program developed based on the ADB safeguards and EMP requirements. The TPIO/ PMC Monitoring program includes:

a. Regular monitoring site visits on monthly basis to check compliance of construction activities in the Tranche 2 to the EMP requirements, as well as monitoring of topsoil stockpiling and excavated material disposal; b. Unscheduled inspection visits when needed; c. Instrumented measurements and monitoring of environmental parameters of air quality, noise and vibration, water quality in road Tranche 2; d. Completion of the monitoring checklist and summary of compliances and non-compliances; e. Issue the non-compliance notices to the Contractor; f. Collection of monitoring data and providing to the PPMS g. Review of the Contractor’s weekly monitoring reports.

Two definitions are used to describe issues that have occurred and needs to be addressed: (i) Non-conformances are issues that are registered in checklists during monitoring visits and provided to the Contractor for corrective action. In this case issues are not relatively insignificant or corrective action shall be quickly completed. (ii) Non-compliances are major issues or repeated non-conformances that Engineer requests corrective action through official letter.

4.1 Monitoring of the Compliance with EMPs in Tranche 2 (Ashtarak-Talin road Section). Regular monitoring visits have been implemented. The regular monitoring were carried out by Contractor’s environmental specialist on a weekly basis and by the PMC/Engineer’s environmental specialist on a monthly basis.

To demonstrate deviations from accepted practices for protection of environment two terms are used in the report. Non-conformance is a detected issue that can be solved immediately or is not significant. Non-compliance is a detected issue that cannot be solved immediately, is significant or repeated periodically. In case of non-compliances, the non-compliance official letter is issued to the Contractor and works are stopped in an affected section until an issue is solved. In case of non- conformances, the non-conformances are reported to the contractor through monthly monitoring checklist with determined deadline when an issue should be solved.

4.1.1 The detected non-conformances are:

- the practice of unpermitted use of territories for parking of machinery in the non-permitted area outside the RoW, - trucks loaded with excavated material were non-covered while entering public roads, - the ERP posters were missing. - establishment of crushing machinery in area not approved by PMC/Engineer; - new hired workers not trained on environmental safeguards; - the dust and mud spreading preventative measures, like gravel layer at the accesses to the existing roads are not implemented; - Watering of construction sites during construction works were not implemented properly; - deviation from SEMPs while operating the Kosh-4 and Aghtsk-2 topsoil sites; - non- permitted discharge of concrete waste water.

4.2 Instrumented Measurements and Monitoring of Environmental Parameters of Air Quality, Noise and Vibration, Water Quality. 4.2.1 Instrumented measurements and monitoring of environmental parameters of air quality; noise and vibration have been implemented by the Contractor through the licensed subcontractor: ATMS Solutions LLC.

4.2.2 Baseline data collection. Contractor has completed the baseline data collection for dust, noise and vibration in 2014.

4.2.3 Routine instrumented measurements and monitoring are carried out on monthly basis unless construction works are not implemented in the areas where instrumental monitoring are envisaged and in case when cold weather condition effects on measurements.

4.2.4 Instrumented measurements and monitoring of environmental parameters (dust, noise, water and vibration) during the reporting period has been implemented at the following points: Vibration 1 (PK 50+700), Dust 5 (PK 38+500), Dust 9 (PK 50+800), Dust 10 (PK 63+200), Dust 12 (PK 69+800), Noise 4 (PK 38+370), Noise 8 (PK 50+900) and Noise 9 (PK 70+000). The measurement points are selected based on going construction works criteria.

4.2.5 According to the monitoring reports Noise Equivalent Level and Noise Maximum Level values were above the Threshold Limit Values (TLV) set by Sanitary norms but almost equal to the baseline level or below it. The main noise sources at all noise measurement points are operation of construction equipment and movement of cars and vehicles along the M1 highway. The dust actual concentrations in all measurement points in different daytime periods don’t exceed the daily average and maximum permissible concentrations. The vibration meter didn't register any vibration acceleration in the point Vibration 1 for three orthogonal axes (x,y,z) and the daily vibration exposure values are equal to 0.

4.2.6 Detailed information on the results of operational monitoring is presented in the Noise and Dust Assessment Reports available in “Corsan Corviam Construction” S.A. and PMC offices (see extract from reports in Annex D).

4.3 PPMS Indicators 4.3.1 During the reporting period the following environmental performance indicators were reported to be included into PPMS:

4.3.2 Quarterly numbers of environmental non-compliance notices from PMC/Engineer to Contractor were regularly measured based on standards for storm water, noise, dust and vibration and on any breaches of the EIA and EMP by PMC/Engineer or by Contractor under PMC’s control: 0 non-compliance notices. No unsolved notices are registered by the end of reporting period.

4.3.3 Quarterly numbers of environmental complaints from communities along the Ashtarak-Talin road section, from 2013 to 2017 based on Contractor’s records of complaints were verified by PMC/Engineer: 0 - no environmentally related complaints are received and registered during reporting period.

This is evident in at least one location where a collector channel directs runoff to the left embankment (heading to Talin) of the Kasakh River bridge at Ashtarak. Due to lack of armouring at the release point the already high velocity of the runoff is now eroding the side of the gorge adjacent to the bridge. This may have longer term consequences for the integrity of the bridge.

The issue is currently under Engineer’s investigation and possible solution to this shall be proposed.
