All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time. 4. The subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the environmental management plan (EMP). Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for different component of the project. 5. Site Specific Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) has been introduced for the supprojects awarded during the period and eleven SEMPs has been prepared which will be updated with the contractor’s environmental supervision engineer before commencing of development works at the respective site. 6. Environmental monitoring of different parameters of some specific environmental components have been carried out in the implementation of CCRIP project. Monitoring results compared against the objectives of environmental safeguard or desired outcomes are documented. 7. Based on the changed ‘Sample Table of Contents for environmental monitoring report {(Title: Semi/ Annual Environmental Monitoring Report) of ADB, quantative and qualitative monitoring data (e.g, pollution data of water, air, soil, noise, etc.,) having some specific monitoring parameters/indicators (e.g., DO, PH, BOD, COD, etc. for water and so on)} some changes in environmental monitoring has been carried out to examine ground water quality and noise level in 12 sample construction sites/ camps of 12 subprojects of the project in June 2016; the qualitative and quantitative monitoring for the environmental monitoring considering the same parameters at the respective subproject locations has been carried out semiannually afterwards. 8. Comparisn of Ground Water Analytical Results carried out in June 2016, November 2016 and May 2017 show that small variations in respect to the value of some parameters is found due to the seasonal variation of sample collection which is not significant in terms of environmental quality. 9. Noise level goes beyond the allowable limit at the time of construction activity which is a temporary one that becomes normal just after the completion of construction work. Along with common preventing measures, proper maintenance of vehicles & machineries is being done to minimize/lessen noise level during noisy activities; water spraying is being practiced where dust pollution is occurring. Noise level has been monitored in June 2016, November 2016 and May 2017 respectively at twelve locations of twelve subprojects.

1 Project Background

1.1 Introduction 12. Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CCRIP) financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB), KreditanstaltfürWiederaufbau (KfW) and International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) under Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) formally started in January 2013 to increase rural incomes and reduce rural poverty through sustainable economic growth, rural development, social & gender development and improved infrastructure in the project area to be completed by December 2018. This project will promote overall development of the transportation system by constructing, improving and rehabilitating Upazila & Union roads and road structures (brides/culverts), development of growth centres and Cyclone Shelter. 13. CCRIP is specially designed for the development of climate resilient infrastructure including roads, bridges and culverts, cyclone shelters and killas, ghats and markets. The project is contributing significantly in employment creation and poverty alleviation specially for Labor Contracting Society (LCS) member. CCRIP has made substantial progress towards achieving its targets. All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time. 14. The key components of the projects are: (a) Improved Road Connectivity; (b) Improved Market Services and (c) Enhanced climate change adaptation capacity. 15. Project implementation has been progressing in compliances with the requirements of ADB and, GOB including procurement of Environmental Clearance Certificate from Department of Environment, Government of Bangladesh. 16. This report covers major achievements during January-June 2017 including overall project achievement as of 30 June 2017 addressing environmental safeguard issues arisen due to the development activities. 1.2 Physical Progress 1.2.1 Scope of Monitoring 17. The project area encompasses 12 districts of south western Bangladesh (Figure 1) in three regions in the three administrative divisions. These districts are: 18. Khulna Region: Khulna, Satkhira and Bagerhat Districts in Khulna Division; 19. Barisal Region: Barisal, Jhalokathi, Patuakhali, Barguna, Bhola and Perojpur Districts in Barisal Division and 20. Madaripur Region: Madaripur, Gopalganj and Shariatpur Districts in . 21. The project is subdivided into 666 subprojects and each subproject comprises a package of different types of infrastructures. Improving rural roads and associated infrastructures will provide local inhabitants with efficient transport to markets and trading centres and access to social and welfare services. 22. Results of these IEEs/EMPs concluded that, the road and the market subprojects will have some small and localized adverse environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs. Accordingly, out of the 666 subprojects of CCRIP, 144 subprojects funded by ADB falls under environmental monitoring as follows: i. Upazila Road: 56 Subprojet; ii. Growth Centre: 18 and iii. Large Rural Market: 70 Subproject.

1.2.3 Reporting Period 24. This semi-annual report covers major achievements during the period January-June 2017 including overall project achievement as of 30 June 2017 addressing environmental safeguard issues arisen due to the project development activities. 1.2.4 Monitoring Requirements 25. The subprojects of CCRIP are categorized as “category B” for environmental project classifications as per ADB guidelines, and ‘Orange B’ as per Department of Environment, Government of Bangladesh. So, following ADB categorization, implementation of the subprojects required Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) including Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which has been prepared. 26. Results of these IEEs/EMPs concluded that, the road/market subprojects will have some small and localized adverse environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs. 27. All bidding documents of CCRIP subprojects include EMP as Environmental Compliances, and contracted contractors are briefed and trained in pre-/post- bid sessions for proper implementation of EMPs. A mandatory Environmental Compliance Certificate with each Interim Payment Certificate has been introduced for all ongoing sub-projects. This certificate submitted by the Contractor and duly verified and certified by the Upazila/Executive Engineer certifies compliances of the Environmental Attributes in the IEE/EMP reports of CCRIP subprojects. No payment will be released without this certificate. 28. According to monitoring requirements, Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMR) to be submitted on semi-annual and annual basis.

3 Results of Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Measures

34. Environmental monitoring of different parameters of some specific environmental components have been carried out in the implementation of CCRIP project. Monitoring results compared against the objectives of environmental safeguard or desired outcomes are presented in this chapter. 35. Based on the changed ‘Sample Table of Contents for environmental monitoring report {(Title: Semi/ Annual Environmental Monitoring Report) of ADB, quantative and qualitative monitoring data (e.g, pollution data of water, air, soil, noise, etc.,) having some specific monitoring parameters/indicators (e.g., DO, PH, BOD, COD, etc. for water and so on)} some changes in environmental monitoring has been carried out to examine ground water quality and noise level in 12 sample construction sites/ camps of 12 subprojects of the project (Table 4) during the reporting period.

37. Air quality monitoring is not much important since impact is low for rural/urban infrastructure projects except producing dusts sometimes. Dust pollution is being controlled by water spray (Figure 3) as and when it is required.

Figure 3: Water spraying for dust control

38. Noise & vibration is the issue only when heavy vehicle moves and heavy machineries are in operation. Noise and vibration levels are minimized by maintaining machineries in good working conditions, using noise minimizing kits, carrying out construction works only at day times, etc. Noise levels were monitored at 12 different construction sites of 12 subprojects twice during the year 2016 and once in 2017. Actual observation on noise level monitoring activities are presented in Figure 4. The results of noise level monitoring are presented in Table 5.

39. Considering the nature and period of construction activities ground water quality monitoring was not included in the EMP and for that reason it was not monitored earlier. Now, to fulfil requirements of ADB according to new environmental monitoring format, ground water quality at twelve road/ market construction sites/ camps were analysed and analytical results are presented in Table 6 and the reports are placed in Annex A and Annex B. Collection of ground water samples are presented in Figure 5.

6 Recommendation and Conclusion

46. Environmental safeguard issues are very important to address for all sector of development. The road and market development subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the EMP. Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for road and market development components of the project. The CCRIP is addressing, formally and/or informally, environmental safeguard issues highlighted in the environmental management plan prepared for different component of the project at different stages of project implementation for different components. 47. There is no issue identified during first half of the year or for the next half which will have detectable impact on the environment.
