1. Introduction

1.1 Background of the project

As part of the international best practices, the Tanzanian Statistical Master Plan aims at repositioning the National Bureau of Statistics to provide necessary leadership and play a greater role, more effective and proactive role in coordinating and supervising the National Statistical System (NSS). For the National Bureau of Statistics to play its roles effectively, it requires premises that will have enough room for headquarters staff, computer centre, conference and training rooms, library facilities, stores, etc.

The National Bureau of Statistics is currently housed in two different buildings located in different parts of Dar es Salaam. The NBS headquarters is in an old dilapidated building which makes part of three attached buildings occupied by the National Bureau of Statistics, Mapping Department of the Ministry of Lands and Human Settlement Development and the Prisons Department under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Even if this headquarters building is rehabilitated, yet it cannot meet the current demand of the Bureau: which is to have a relatively modern facility to accommodate at least 200 employees under one roof at a time, while implementing NSS responsibilities, including data processing for all national censuses and surveys.

The National Bureau of Statistics Procurement Office is located on Mkwepu Street in the Central Business District of Dar es Salaam. The premises comprise of offices on the ground and first floors of Ladjibhai Mansion. The Ladjibhai Mansion is an old building owned by the National Housing Corporation with offices on the ground and first floors and residential accommodation on the second floor.

The status of NBS offices being scattered in different parts of Dar es Salaam city is further worsened by the ever increasing number of motor vehicles in the city. Indeed, this is not a conducive environment for efficient and productive work to produce timely and quality statistical reports.

In view of the above constraints, a study was commissioned with an objective of analysing prevailing costs and benefits of various alternatives including constructing a new office building, renting new premises or renovating the existing premises to accommodate the current and future needs of the National Bureau of Statistics. The study was hinged on the following criteria for suitable office premises; • The bureau should preferably be under one roof • The premise must offer a long term sustainable solution • The premise must accommodate a computer centre, conference and training rooms, library, storage facilities for large quantities of documents, adequate toilet facilities and a lobby with a reception desk and a canteen. • The premise should have ample water storage, backup generator and adequate air conditioning system; • The premise must have adequate car parking space for staff and visitors and the premise must meet all environmental standards and building codes

Various options were considered and weighed against each other. These options included;

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 4 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

1. Renting new office premises for the NBS 2. Buying a plot and erecting a new building, 3. Buying a building and refurbishing 4. Renovating the existing premises 5. Building on the current plot of the National bureau of Statistics

After a thorough consideration of various alternatives, the National Bureau of Statistics now intends to develop a twelve (12) storey building behind the current NBS office building along Kivukoni Front Street in Dares Salaam to cater for its office requirements.

Prior to development of this new office building at the earmarked site, an environmental and social impact assessment is required to ascertain impacts likely to emanate from construction and operation of this new office building project.

In order to facilitate this assignment, the National Bureau of Statistics commissioned Eng. Venant E.K. RWENYAGIRA from Environmental BENCHMARK, Consulting Civil-Environmental Engineers of Dar es Salaam, to carry out an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the proposed project.

In line with the Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations 2005, Part III – Regulation 5, the Project Brief was prepared to facilitate registration of the project. NEMC’s screening decision indicated that the Environmental Impact Assessment is required. In response to this decision, the Scoping Report is hereby prepared presenting how the scoping exercise was carried out in relation to the boundaries of the project, stakeholders’ involvement, identification of issues and concerns, synthesis of results including potential positive and negative impacts and project alternatives. The report is concluded by the Draft Terms of Reference as per EIA and Audit Regulations-2005.

1.2 Environmental Impact Assessment Requirement

According to the Third Schedule of the Environmental Management Act Cap 191 of 2004, construction of an office building, by its nature and in general terms, will be an activity which will involve changes in the existing land use and due to this character it is classified under class 2 - Urban development.

Also, according to the First Schedule (made under Regulation 6(1)) of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Audit Regulations (2005), the proposed office building project falls under the list of projects whereby the Environmental Impact Assessment is mandatory. The proposed project is categorized under item 14 which covers- Building and Civil Engineering Industries particularly on item (ii) which encompasses major urban projects like construction of multi-storey buildings (see extract from the regulations below). The proposed office building is envisaged to be a 12-storey structure with the characteristics of the major urban development and thus qualifies to be subjected to an in-depth study to determine the scale, extent and significance of the impacts to be able to identify appropriate mitigation measures.

2. Proposed Project Description

2.1 Objective and Purpose of the Project The required new premises is aimed at accommodating all National Bureau of Statistics activities and functions and has to be a one-stop centre of statistics for better policies and development outcomes. The new premises shall also enable National Bureau of Statistics staff to work in a safe and healthy environment which is a prerequisite for any serious work.

2.2 Project Location

The proposed NBS office project is envisaged to be built in Tanzania in the capital city of Dar es Salaam within the boundaries of Ilala Municipality as shown on figure2.1 below. Ilala Municipality bears the status of an administrative municipality which lies between longitude 39o and 40o east and between latitude 600 and 700 south of the Equator. It has an area of 210 km2. On its eastern part it borders with the Indian Ocean for a distance of about 10 kilometres. On the southern part it is bordered by Temeke Municipality, whereas on its western part it is bordered by Kisarawe district in Pwani region. On its northern side it is bordered by Kinondoni municipality. Its altitude ranges between 0 and 900 meters above sea level thus influencing the ecological characteristics of the municipality. Thus the Municipality consists of a larger lowland area and a small part forming the upland zone. The lowland areas start where the municipality borders with the Indian Ocean (Kivukoni ward) and extends up to Segerea, Ukonga and Kitunda wards. Beyond these wards, the small upland areas emerge as small hills or plateaus of Pugu, Kinyerezi, Chanika and Msongola wards. Whereas most of the lowland areas constitute the urban part of the municipality, the upland areas are predominantly agricultural and rural in character.

2.3 Project Activities

2.3.1 Pre-construction Activities Since preliminary engineering designs of the project are almost completed, then the outcome of this environmental and social impact assessment will provide an input in the preparation of detailed engineering design. Once these final design phases are completed, tenders will be floated to allow reputable contractors to bid

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 11 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

for the project. Tenders will be received, opened, and evaluated and the contract awarded to the successful contractor who will then start mobilization of the human resource and equipment after completion of contract formalities and site handing over processes. Preparation of the proposed site will involve clearing the site and demolition of the existing office buildings (see figures 2.8 and 2.9 below, all will be done to attain the total area of about 1200 sq meters required for the proposed new building.

All project activities are supposed to be carried out within the boundaries of the identified project site without disturbing the neighbouring facilities. In order to ensure this, the project proponent will facilitate the Contractor to fence off the entire site perimeter with corrugated iron sheets or any other suitable material as it will be determined during project implementation.

Figure 2.9: Another outer small building in the foreground, to be demolished to allow construction of a new office building.

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 12 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

Also, as required, the Contractor will hire labour and erect necessary temporary facilities to cater for offices and storage rooms within the construction site or outside the site as it may be agreed and permitted by the City Authorities. Mobilization phase will also involve purchase and stockpiling of the construction materials such as aggregates, sand, cement, timber and reinforcing steel.

Other construction equipment such as scaffolding, pile driving equipment, crane, will be mobilised to the site of works as need arises.

2.3.2 Construction phase of the NBS office building

Upon completion of preliminary activities involving erection of site offices, storage facilities and services (water, wastewater and electricity) as required, the actual construction work of office building block substructure will start which will involve; - Setting out - Excavation for foundations - Concreting foundations/ground floor - Backfilling and disposal of overburden Once the substructure is completed, works for the superstructure will start with columns and subsequent cover slabs ready to receive more floors up to the final floor, then roofing, Installation of services including water, wastewater and electricity reticulation and finally finishing ready for handing over of the building.

2.3.3 Contractors Demobilization Phase

Contractor’s demobilization phase will involve clearing all the site activities in terms of tiding up of all site facilities and demobilization of all construction equipment. Disposal of any remaining unwanted material will also be carried out during this contractor’s demobilization phase. Upon completion of contractor’s obligations, the structure will be handed over to the project proponent- National Bureau of Statistics for the operation phase.

2.3.4 Operation Phase

Once construction of the office building is completed, the actual purpose of the facility will start, that is accommodating at least 200 employees and other basic needs such as car parking for employees and institution’s vehicles, data processing, store room for storage of census records, office rooms, three types of conference facilities, lift and fire escape and room for back-up generators and AC- systems.

3. Scoping Exercise

3.1 Scoping Methodology

The scoping methodology involved gathering the relevant information for the proposed office building project. This information included the following; 9 Terms of Reference for the assignment. 9 Proposed project write-up 9 Identification and analysis of means of public involvement which included considering use of any of the following methods; public meetings, advertisements and notices, surveys, interviews and questionnaires, workshops and advisory groups. In the course of weighing public participation options, it turned out that in a city set up, where everybody seems to be very busy with her/his work, the public participation in form of public meetings could not get any attention, one would get if dealing with a similar project in the rural set up. Also the majority of stakeholders around the project site would not prefer or feel free to come to the proposed site to discuss openly on the neighbour’s issues. Some felt like if their turn comes they will equally face similar or much harsher stance on their projects! Therefore, it was decided prepare tailor made questionnaires for the stakeholders to freely write in their concerns.

3.2 Stakeholder Involvement

Public Participation in the initial stages of the project is of great importance particularly during preparation of a scoping report as well as planning, design and implementation of the proposed development. The consultant conducted the public participation activities which involved the necessary potential Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs). Public participation through consultation achieved the following: - a vehicle for public input and facilitated negotiated outcomes; - it created trust and partnerships; - negative impacts are minimized; - positive impacts are enhanced; and - It provided an up-front indication of issues that may prevent project continuation, that can cause costly delays at a later stage, or result in enhanced and shared benefits.

The Consultant conducted the public participation for the proposed construction of a project to involve as many potential Interested & Affected Parties as possible. Accordingly, issues arising from this public participation process will be incorporated into the subsequent reports and used in determining mitigation measures for the project.

3.3 Public Participation Process

Issues pertaining to construction of the office building project and its environmental and social consequences were discussed with the representative of the key stakeholders, interested institutions, private companies and some owners of the office buildings in Dar es Salaam particularly those around the project site. Constrained by poor response in attending public meetings, due to the nature of the town dweller’s business, consultants decided to make use of structured questionnaire as means of getting public and stakeholders’ views from both I&APs. In the course of public participation process,

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 14 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

consultation aimed at three main groups, the first category comprised of individual(s), institutions or organizations. The second category was specifically for owners of the existing buildings next the proposed site. This was targeted so as to acquire experience, challenges and problems facing them during operation phase of their structures. The last category was for experts and/or government agencies dealing with issues related to the proposed office building project, some of these are Board of Architects, Engineers Registration Board, National Housing Cooperation and Building Research Agency. Structured questionnaire carried with it a brief description of the proposed project, whereby project background, location, nature, associated activities in all phases and the likely environmental and social impacts were clearly presented. The process of questionnaire administration including distribution and collection of the respective responses took about a week’s time from December 6th through to December 13th, 2010 weekend days excluded. The list of relevant stakeholders expected to give comments is as presented below.

Since the proposed office building project will take place in an area which is surrounded by offices accommodating a larger number of people, it is anticipated that there will be significant environmental and social impacts affecting various groups differently. It is further anticipated that the stakeholders or surrounding communities will have to be protected from any such adverse impacts, while opportunities to be offered by the project need to be made visible to these surrounding and interested communities. Therefore these various groups likely to be affected by the project were involved through presentation of project then sharing their experience in the project area followed by raising their own concerns on the project and finally propose some mitigation measures.

4. Concerns from Public Consultations

Public participation process followed the guidelines as stipulated in the Environmental Management Act Cap 191 (No.4 of 2004), part XIV regarding Public Participation in environmental decision-making and also followed EIA and Audit Regulations during the scoping process for the proposed office building construction. In order to facilitate an open and transparent process, Interested & Affected Persons were identified and informed of the proposed development through questionnaire administration which was delivered and physically collected by consultants. Early comments/concerns received during the scoping exercise have been incorporated and are addressed hereunder.

Respondent No.1

1. Dust and noise during working hours may affect worker’s health 2. Will there be any means of suppressing dust during construction phase? 3. Regarding the congestion of vehicles coming to the city centre, is it not possible to get another plot elsewhere?

Respondent No. 2

1. It is a good project as will accommodate a good number of NBS staff members and also their vehicles can have a good parking place thus removing them from the streets of the CBD. 2. If possible, the new office building should blend well with the existing buildings to maintain the original shape of this part of the city 3. Some buildings are under “Old building conservation program” in Dar es Salaam, how about the old buildings you intend to demolish? 4. What types of construction materials will be used? Are they locally available?

Respondent No. 3

1. There will be disturbances during construction phase for instance dust and noise pollution

Respondent No. 4

1. There will be air pollution due construction activities 2. Enough care should be taken, regarding heavy trucks to the site, in order to minimize traffic jam and congestion.

Respondent No. 5 1. Make sure to leave some space for tree planting etc. 2. What is the expected completion time?

Respondent No. 6 1. There will be some environmental impacts such as noise and dust emissions during demolition of the existing structure and when the construction starts. 2. There will be interference to the traffic flow at the time of material haulage; also there will be disturbances to those vehicles parking on the street towards the proposed project area. 3. The project will create office space for NBS staff thus releasing some of the other office buildings they are currently occupying.

1. The road to the proposed site from Kivukoni Street is very narrow. Is it possible to use the road on the other side of the Ministry of Finance?

Respondent No. 9

1. How are you going to preserve the beauty, cultural appearance of these old buildings as they refer far back to colonial era with a lot of history- this has value even in tourism industry?

Respondent No. 10

1. The new proposed office building should resemble the existing old building so that it may be considered as part of the old architectural designs; these buildings are a touristic attraction.

General Comments

Larger number of stakeholders indicated a greater and dire need of more office space as the demand keeps on growing in CBD. Consequently construction of such a proposed office building would eventually release office space for those in need

Existing Office Buildings in the Central Business District

In the course of implementing the proposed office building project, past experiences on the existing offices facilities is of great importance. This will help to improve the services of the forthcoming office building based on the challenges, difficulties and troubles faced during their operation phase. Various multi-storey office buildings were visited during scoping exercise, where consultants did physical observations together with interviewing persons in charge during normal operations. Nearly all of the visited office buildings visited comprise of various equipments for emergency responses ranging from security camera to fire extinguishers, hose reels and hydrants, loudspeakers, exit, and lights. The comments from these stakeholders will be collected, analysed and used in this project.

5. Synthesis of Scoping Results and Details of Potential Negative and Positive Impact and Corresponding Mitigation Measures

Like any other development project in a busy city like Dar es Salaam, a number of minor to major environmental impacts are likely to occur from the planned office construction activities ranging from site clearance to transportation of building materials, erection, construction and operation of the NBS office building. Such potential environmental impacts include;

5.1 Mobilization Phase

Vegetation/Greenery clearance to accommodate NBS office building. Presently the proposed site has some vegetation and greenery areas that blend very well with the surroundings as shown on the pictures below. These good trees will be lost and thus loosing the familiar aesthetic view of the area.

Figure 5.1: Existing vegetation/greenery features on the proposed site

Mitigation Measures

- Clearance of vegetation will be replaced with other flower pots and the like that can be put on the parapet walls on each level of the new building. - Vegetation clearance will be limited to the area necessary for permanent works) some trees on the edge shall be left intact

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 19 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

- The proposed area has about 4 nos. trees with the girth not exceeding 15cm, therefore they will be easily replaced with other small decorative and environmentally friendly trees.

Disturbances to historical and archaeological finds during site clearance Based on the nature of the site it is possible that scientific, historical, or archaeological interest or anything of value during execution of the works may be encountered. Even though it is not expected to find this area to be of historical importance, but in case this happens and the contractor discovers such finds mitigation measures include; Mitigation measures - Notify the Engineer giving the nature and location of the findings. The Engineer will consult the National Museum. - The Contractor shall exercise necessary care so as not to damage artifacts or fossils uncovered during excavation operations and shall provide such cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to preserve the findings for removal or other disposition by the employer. - Where appropriate by reason of a discovery, the Engineer shall order delays in the time of performance or changes in the work, or both. If such delays, or changes or both are ordered, the time of performance and contract price shall be adjusted in accordance with the applicable clauses in the general Conditions of Contract. Deterioration of original land use, scenic and visual quality - the proposed project site is located on a piece of land that is designated as suitable for commercial/office activities under Dar es Salaam land use master plan and will be consistent with the relevant provisions of the land use plans in the area around. The proposed project is proximal to the already existing multi-storey buildings as shown below. Therefore the new office building will be blending well with existing office buildings.

Figure 5.2: A Multi-storey office building next to the proposed site which will blend well with the new NBS office building

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 20 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

Mitigation Measures

- The design of the proposed NBS office building will be matched with the existing Ministry of Finance office building as shown on the figure above. - Landscaping will be carried out to match the existing surroundings.

5.2 Construction Phase

Disturbance, particularly land scarring at borrow sites or sources of construction materials (sand, aggregates, stones,) - Borrow materials to be used for construction of NBS office building will be collected from sources far from the construction site. The immediate impact of borrow areas/sites is land scarring in the course of sourcing materials.

Mitigation Measures

- The borrow sites are the ones used for sourcing all other construction materials for projects in Dar es Salaam. Therefore the project will only contribute to land scarring and will not be the sole project causing this problem. - Since all the borrow areas are privately owned, the Project Proponent will be buying the construction materials and thus contributing towards restoration of the borrow sites - Part of the charges for purchase of construction materials shall channelled back for the rehabilitation or reinstatement of the borrow areas.

Nuisance from noise and vibration during construction , Mitigation Measures

- Use of properly serviced and well maintained equipment - Silencers (mufflers) to be used to minimize noise on otherwise noisy equipment such as generators and compressors - Sensitization of the adjacent communities on likely vibrations and increased noise resulting from construction activities - Where noise levels will be beyond 85dB(A), ear muffs and plugs shall be provided to all those working within the area with high noise levels - The site for noisy equipment such as cranes will be located away from possible noise receptors such as offices

Increase in traffic levels to the surrounding area. During construction there will be heavy duty vehicles that come to construction site to deliver various construction materials. This will increase congestion of vehicles in the CBD.

Mitigation measures

- Only essential traffic will be allowed to the project area during traffic peak hours

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 21 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

- Sensitization of the nearby communities about the increased traffic - Materials hauling to tipping site and vice versa will be carried out during off peak periods during the day or at night from a stockpiling area. - Alternatively finished materials such ready-made concrete, pre-cast elements or pre-assembled materials can be delivered at site when the need arises.

Contamination of water from leakages of fuels and lubricants from the construction equipment

Mitigation measures

- Dripping pans to be used to contain all hydrocarbon leakages on construction equipment - Refuelling on designated areas - In case of hydrocarbon spills, the contaminated soils will be collected and treated to remove the hydrocarbon and prevent the hydrocarbons from being washed away in storm water to the sea nearby.

Poor air quality from dust and emissions around the construction site and material hauling routes

Mitigation measures

- Water sprinkling to reduce the dust at the construction site - Use of dust masks to operators and those working in the dusty areas - Use of goggles for all operators - Construction machines/equipment will be well maintained to ensure total fuel combustion. All vehicles involved in construction works will be frequently checked and well serviced during the whole construction period so that the level of exhaust emissions is reduced - Speed of vehicles hauling construction materials will be reduced and the construction materials will be covered with tarpaulins.

Possible injuries to neighbours from falling blocks, rocks and tools

Mitigation measures

- Construction site shall be provided with the safety screen to protect neighbours and those passing-by as shown on the figure below.

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 22 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

Socio-economic Impacts

Spread of diseases (HIV/AIDs, STIs or STDs) among members involved in construction - The construction site will be a place of work where job seekers and other service providers such as food vendors commonly known as “Mama Lishe” will gather for the sole purpose of work and services. Such gatherings will allow contacts that cannot be avoided.

Mitigation Measures

- Sensitization and health awareness campaigns to all involved in the project including service providers - Construction workers to undergo health screening according to the National HIV/AIDs Policy, - Project will assist the nearby health facility in sensitization of those involved in a project

5.3 Operation Phase Poor safety employees in the office building block

Mitigation measures - Safety of employees from fire will be ensured through installation of fire- fighting equipment in the building. These will include portable fire extinguishers, provision of dry risers for fire fighting on the ground floor. - Safety to be ensured through fire escape to be provided on both sides of the proposed building.

7. Project Boundaries

The area of influence of the project covers the whole neighbourhood and the road network which will be linked to the project area in the course of transferring equipment, debris and construction materials during different phases of the project. The project which will be within the city premises particularly downtown Dar es Salaam will require construction materials from distant places such as Lugoba to aggregates, Wazo Hill Cement Factory to get cement and Mpiji and Mbagala borrow areas to get building sand, etc. All these locations may be considered to be within project boundaries as it may influence its impacts to these locations. Looking at this project area of influence which is linked to the road network, it is evident that the boundary of the project will be considered in terms of spatial, temporal and institutional boundaries as presented below in the subsequent sub sections

7.1 Spatial Boundaries

Spatial boundaries refer to impact area coverage. Some of impacts have local (village, district) or regional or international implications. On impact area coverage we can consider two concentric influence zones namely;

New NBS Office Project Area,- This area is on average 36m wide by 36m along which gives an area of approximately 1,300 sq m. of land. This is the area which will receive the most intense physical impacts of the construction works as it is targeted to receive permanent works. Outside this area there are neighbouring offices within the radius of 150m. These surrounding structures may be treated as “receptors” of some of the impacts such as noise and dust. Undoubtedly these will equally have a significant impact if proposed mitigation measures are not implemented. Wider Project Area, this is the area that will coincide with the traffic basin or road network that will be used by project trucks during delivery of building materials. This will be dictated by the number of heavy trucks needed at once to haul construction materials. Therefore the project impacts either positive or negative are likely to extend beyond the boundaries of the project area following the road network to sources of materials and back to the project site. The detailed Environmental Impact Assessment will involve carrying out a thorough analysis of these spatial boundaries. Of course alternative means of delivering building materials by using barges can be practised as the proposed site is nearby the entrance channel to Dar es Salaam harbour.

7.2 Temporal Boundaries

Temporal boundaries are referring to project life span and the reversibility of impacts. The project under consideration is envisaged to last for over 50 years from the date of construction to the date when the concrete structures need replacement or refurbishment works on it. Therefore the assessment will involve looking into areas that will be impacted by the project activities and recovery status. These will include construction camps, borrow hardcore pits, quarries, sand pits, water sources, waterways for delivering construction materials to site, social impacts and sexually transmitted diseases, to name a few.

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 27 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

7.3 Institutional boundaries

These boundaries refer to those administrative and institutional boundaries in which the project lies or interacts. These can be determined from the legislations, ministries/departmental mandates. The project area is in the Ilala municipality within Dar es Salam region. Within the municipality there are various divisions, wards and administrative street “mtaa”. There is a long chain of authority in the local government, with three intermediate levels between the Regional Administrative levels to the Mtaa Chairman. Each administrative unit is governed by its own council, responsible for environmental measures. Therefore starting from the Ministry of Finance where the project proponent falls, the project will need to interact with the Regional, city , municipality, divisions, wards and streets “mtaa” administrative levels.

8. Project Alternatives

8.1 Introduction

The EIA procedure stipulates that an environmental investigation needs to identify main project alternatives for the proposed development. Therefore, it is required that a number of possible proposals and alternatives for accomplishing the same objectives be considered. In principle, these should include an analysis of the location, timing, input and design alternatives as well as the do nothing option.

8.2 Alternative Project Location

Before the decision of constructing a new NBS office building, a study was commissioned with an objective of analysing prevailing costs and benefits of various alternatives including constructing a new office building, renting new premises or renovating the existing premises to accommodate the current and future needs of the National Bureau of Statistics. The study was hinged on the following criteria for suitable office premises; • The bureau should preferably be under one roof, • The premise must offer a long term sustainable solution, • The premise must accommodate a computer centre, conference and training rooms, library, storage facilities for large quantities of documents, adequate toilet facilities and a lobby with a reception desk and a canteen. • The premise should have ample water storage, backup generator and adequate air conditioning system; • The premise must have adequate car parking space for staff and visitors and the premise must meet all environmental standards and building codes. Various alternatives were considered and weighed against each other. These alternatives included; 9 Renting new office premises for the NBS use, 9 Buying a plot and erecting a new NBS building, 9 Buying and refurbishing an existing building for NBS offices 9 Renovating the existing premises including construction of annex

The financial implications of the alternatives considered are summarized below;

Alternatives Costs for three different locations (US$) City Centre Outside city Outskirts of centre the city Renting of new office premises for 648,000 576,000 288,000 NBS use (annual costs) Buying a plot and erecting a new NBS 10,984,224 7,884,224 7,984,224 building Buying and refurbishing an existing 9,200,000 10,400,000 5,103,482 building for NBS offices (Exim tower) (Stanbic Bldg) (Shamo Office Park) Renovating the existing premises including 7,404,245 construction of annex

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 29 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

8.3 Alternatives Sources for Construction Materials

The new NBS office building is envisaged to be constructed from reinforced concrete whose raw materials will be sourced from common places such as Lugoba or Msolwa for aggregates, Mpiji or Mbagala areas for building sand and water from DAWASCO sources. Alternatively water for construction works may be extracted from boreholes. However water from boreholes may suffer a grater disadvantage of salinity detrimental to the workability of cement compared to other surface water from DAWASCO sources.

Cement may come from local retail sources dealing with bulk supplies or direct from TANGA (Simba Cement), Dar es Salaam (Twiga Cement) or Mbeya (Tembo Cement). Use of cement from these local sources is not envisaged to lead to the scarcity of the building material due to steady production of cement from these sources. Reinforcing bars will also be sourced locally from hardware outlets in Dar es Salaam.

8.4 The Do-Nothing Option

Under the No-Action Alternative, the NBS office building would not be constructed or operated, environmental and socio-economic impacts described in the previous section would not occur. The do-nothing alternative assumes that future developments would comply with the existing requirements for the project area, which includes increase in NBS employees with the consequential increase in demand for office space and decrease work efficiency. Pending the proposal of other significant development within the area, population growth and business development would likely continue on the same trend that currently exists. If the office building project were not constructed, the office space needs could continue to be delivered through other means like renting more office space.

Delayed statistical reports production thus slowing the pace of development in other sectors would continue to a level that one cannot bear in the absence more office space solutions. The socio-economic positive impacts such as temporary and permanent direct and indirect employments and revenue generated from purchase of construction materials would not be there.

Based on preliminary assessment of issues, it is evident that the site in question is not located in any sensitive place. There would not be any significant loss of habitats for both common flora and fauna.

Since the earmarked area is meant for commercial activities, and there are offices all around the project area, there might be some localized impacts, but are not of sufficient importance to stop the proposed project. Accordingly, the consideration of do-nothing option can be justifiably dismissed as an alternative for the following reasons.

- Need and desirability of the project to avert the shortage of office space in the Central Business District of Dar es Salaam particularly for the National Bureau of Statistics whose offices are scattered in two different and distant places

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 30 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

- It is possible to encounter artefacts of cultural importance or archaeological chance finds but this will be handled as provided for in the Antiquities Act 1964, with Amendments in 1979, whereby procedures for reporting, salvaging, handling and preservation or protection will be fully observed. - The environmental impacts expected from the proposed project can be reasonably mitigated to acceptable and satisfactory standards and - The potential environmental and social impacts will be much localized as the proposed office building will not lead to overshadowing of any residential property, will not lead into unacceptable interference with air traffic, television reception or wind speed at the ground level. - Will not lead to unacceptable impact on the skyline or otherwise impinge on important icons/views Eng Venant RWENYAGIRA of Environmental BENCHMARK thus seconds the recommendations that the proposed project on the proposed site should proceed on the conditions that proper planning is implemented and the project adheres to all proposed measures presented in section 5 of this Scoping Report. This precautionary approach will reduce the impacts on the socio-economic systems in the project area.

9. Environmental and Social Management Plan

9.1 Introduction

The objectives of this Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) are to describe; 9 the legislative and administrative frameworks in the country on Environmental Impact Assessment Management, 9 implementation arrangements for the ESMP, 9 the environmental monitoring programme and reporting arrangements and 9 design consideration regarding environmental, health, safety and social impacts.

In Tanzania the Environmental Assessment framework is guided by the following two key national legislations: - The Environmental Management Act (EMA) Cap 191 (No. 4 of 2004) - The Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations, 2005

Environmental Impact Assessment of the NBS office building project, like any other development projects are under the Vice Presidents’ Office, where the Minister of Environment falls. Therefore for environmental assessments including the proposed office building development project, the governors are the following: - Minister of Environment who approves the EIA and gives the environmental permit, - NEMC, who arranges for EIAs, undertakes enforcement, compliance, review and monitoring of EIA.

9.2 Implementation Arrangement of the EMP

The project proponent and the executing agency of the proposed new office project is the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to be assisted by the lead consultant, the Project Architect and other sectoral consultants in engaging the project Contractor and Sub- contractors in the implementation of the office building project. To minimize potential environmental and social negative impacts, the project will require the support of various institutions in the project area. Table 8.1 below outlines the actions of the ESMP. The organizational framework for the EMP is designed to evolve as the project progresses through detailed engineering design, construction and operation phases.

9.3 Reporting Arrangements

Sector Ministry Environmental Section (Sector Environmental Coordinator), the NBS and Consultant’s Appointee to deal with Environmental Management will cooperate with other experts in Ilala Municipality such as Municipal Land Officer and Municipal Environmental Management Officer to provide the Regional Environmental Management Expert (REME) under the Regional Secretariat with environmental reports of the project implementation as part of the progress reports and annual environmental monitoring reports. The Regional Environmental Management Expert is the link person between the region and the Sector Ministry Environmental Section (Sector Environmental Coordinator) and the Director of Environment as well as the Director General of NEMC.

10. Draft Terms of Reference for Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the Proposed Construction of New Office Building for the National Bureau of Statistics

1. Introduction

The purpose of these Terms of Reference (TOR) is to provide formal guidance to the ESIA consultant of the proposed construction of new office building for the National Bureau of Statistics on the range of issues that must be addressed in the ESIA process. They form the basis for subsequent review process.

2. Project Description

The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania through the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of Tanzania Mainland has received a credit from World Bank (WB) towards the cost of development of the National Statistics System for Tanzania (STATCAP) project and intends to apply part of the proceeds of this credit to eligible payments for construction for new office building.

The National Bureau of Statistics in collaboration with other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) is undertaking a statistical reforms project with assistance and funding from the government of Tanzania and other development partners such as World Bank and DFID. The project is implemented under the Tanzania Statistical Master Plan (TSMP) aims at developing the National Statistical System (NSS) through the following initiatives (i) Institutional Reform; (ii) Human Resource and Capacity Development; (iii) Development of Statistical Infrastructure; (iv) Data Development and Dissemination as well as (v) Physical Infrastructure and Equipments.

Currently NBS office plot is located within the City Centre of Dar es Salaam which is already congested with other tall buildings hence construction may have effect on the environment . The officers suffer from the key constraint – lack of office space, infrastructure and equipment which effectively minimize its ability to provide relevant and timely data for monitoring poverty levels and socio-economic growth.

The NBs building is expected to build new office at Kivukoni Front Street, Old Casino Building, Ilala Municipality, in Dar es Salaam.

3. Environmental Assessment Requirements

The ESIA will be prepared consistent with the requirements of Tanzania National Environmental laws as well as the World Bank’s safeguard policy on Environmental Assessment, OPBP 4.01. The Environmental Management Act (EMA) Cap 191 of 2004 requires that ESIA be undertaken for all new projects that may cause adverse environmental and social impacts. Under the Environment Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations, 2005 the proposed project is categorized as an ESIA obligatory project for which a full EIA is required (See the annex). On the other hand, the core requirements for the triggered World Bank safeguard policy include: screening early for potential impacts and selecting appropriate instruments to

Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

assess, minimize and mitigate potential adverse impacts. OP/BP 4.01 is triggered if a project is likely to have potential environmental risks and impacts in its area of influence. The policy covers impacts on the natural environment (air, water, land and noise); human health and safety; physical cultural resources; and transboundary and global environment concerns.

4. Objectives of ESIA

The objectives of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment are: • To establish baseline information on both natural and built environment including socio-economic conditions of the proposed project area. • To identify, predict and evaluate foreseeable impacts, both beneficial and adverse, of the proposed project; and • To develop mitigation measures that aim at eliminating or minimizing the potential negative impacts and promote positive ones. • To develop management clauses and monitoring aspects to be observed during project implementation.

The key findings and recommendations from the ESIA study will be incorporated into the detailed design architectural and engineering drawings and specifications of the proposed construction of new office building. The ToR for the design and engineering drawings and specifications already has been prepared and work expected to commence from January 2010.

5. Study Area

The proposed construction of new buildings of the National Bureau of Statistics office located at Kivukoni Front in Dar es Salaam. The office already holds Title Deeds of the new office plots. The Consultant shall determine and set the project boundaries particularly spatial boundaries (i.e. impact area coverage and area of influence).

6. Scope of Work

The ESIA should assemble and evaluate baseline data on the biophysical and socio- economic characteristics of the project area and areas of influence. The baseline information should include: any changes anticipated before project commences; an identification of operationally relevant issues that may affect project design, implementation and outcomes. Specifically the following task will be carried out

Task 1: Description of the Proposed Project The Consultant shall give details of: • Location of all project-related development and operation sites • General layout of facilities - diagrams of structures, design basis, size, sources of utilities; • Pre-construction activities, construction activities; and post construction activities; and • Organizational relationships, mandates and interactions among the different parties to be involved in the project.

Subject: Questionnaires to Facilitate Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Proposed Construction of New National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Office Building along Kivukoni Front Street in Ilala Municipality in Dar es salaam

Introduction

On behalf of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), M/s Environmental BENCHMARK- Consulting Environmental Engineers of Dar es Salaam are now carrying out an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the proposed new NBS Office Building in Dar es Salaam.

The proposed office building is envisaged to be constructed behind the current NBS office building along Kivukoni Front Street in Ilala municipality in Dar es Salaam. The location of the proposed site is clearly shown on the aerial image presented below

According to the requirements of the Environmental Management Act Cap 191 of 2004, such a development is supposed to undergo an Environmental Impact Assessment and as provided for in the

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 48 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations (2005), it is our responsibility, on behalf of the project proponent to consult and seek views of any individual who is likely to be affected by the undertaking, so that their views/concerns can be incorporated in the implementation of the project.

In view of the above, M/s Environmental BENCHMARK would like to explain on various activities envisaged during project implementation, from which one can be able to express his/her concerns and give suggestions before commencement of the project. Like any other development project, the implementation of the earmarked project will have several phases namely; mobilization, construction, building commissioning, demobilization and finally operation or use of the office building. Brief description of each project activities on every phase is given here under;

1 Mobilization phase Activities: Clearing the site, demolition of the existing office dilapidated buildings, fencing the entire project site perimeter, construction of temporary facilities to cater for offices and store, provide for other services such as water, wastewater and electricity, purchase, haulage and stockpiling of construction materials such as aggregates, sand, cement, timber and reinforcing steel.

Likely impacts Vegetation/greenery clearance, possible disturbances to historical and archaeological finds during site clearance, dust due to demolition of the existing buildings and deterioration of original and familiar land use, scenic and visual quality.

2 Construction phase Activities: Construction of a substructure which will involve setting out, excavation for foundations, concreting foundations/ground floor, backfilling and disposal of overburden followed by building superstructure which involves columns and subsequent cover slabs, construction of more structures ready to receive more floors up to the final floor, then roofing, installation of services including water, wastewater and electricity reticulation and finally finishing works

Likely impacts Nuisance from noise and vibration during construction, increase in traffic levels to the surrounding area as during construction there will be heavy duty vehicles delivering various construction materials. These may increase congestion of vehicles, contamination of water from leakages of fuels and lubricants from the construction equipment, poor air quality from dust and emissions around the construction site and material hauling routes, possible injuries to neighbours from falling blocks, rocks and tools and spread of diseases (HIV/AIDs, STIs or STDs) among members involved in construction,

3 Demobilization phase a) Activities.

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 49 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

Clearing of all the site activities in terms of tiding up of all site facilities and removal of all construction equipment and finally disposal of any remaining unwanted material from the site Likely impacts More or less the same as during construction phase

4 Operation Phase Once construction of the office building is completed, it will be commissioned for use, i.e. accommodating at least 200 employees and other basic needs such as car parking, data processing, store room, office rooms, conference facilities, lifts and fire escapes, etc.

5 Waste generation and disposal method

Solid waste: There will be generation of huge volumes of construction debris which will comprise of cleared vegetation, dilapidated furniture from demolition, leftover of roofing materials including asbestos and corrugated iron sheets, timber from roof trusses, blocks from walls and concrete from floor slab and chippings from wall plasters etc. Biodegradable materials wastes such as food leftovers, cardboards, papers will be collected and disposed off along with other city wastes in sanitary landfills. Other materials such as plastics, metal straps, reinforcing bars, unusable timber crates, steel cable pieces, pipes, etc., will be collected and transported to recycling centres within the city premises.

Liquid waste: The waste water from the construction site, particularly the toilets will be linked to the nearby central sewer system.

Yah: Dodoso katika kufanikisha Tathmini ya Athari kwa Jamii na Mazingira tokana na Mradi wa Ujenzi wa Jengo jipya la Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu katika Mtaa wa Kivukoni Front ndani ya Manispaa ya Ilala

Utangulizi Kwa niaba ya Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu, Kampuni ya Environmental BENCHMARK inafanya Tathimini ya Athari kwa Jamiii na Mazingira tokana na mradi unaokusudiwa wa ujenzi wa jengo jipya la Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takimu.

Mradi unategemewa kujengwa nyuma ya jengo la sasa la Takwimu kwenye eneo la mtaa wa Kivukoni Front katika manispaa ya Ilala jijini Dar es Salaam. Kwa ufafanuzi zaidi angalia picha toka angani iliyoonyeshwa hapo chini.

Kufuatana na Sheria ya Mazingira ya Mwaka 2004 na Mwongozo wa Tathimini ya Athari za Mazingira na Ukaguzi za mwaka 2005, ni wajibu wa Mtalamu wa Mazingira aliyekabidhiwa

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 53 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam kufanya tathimini kwa niaba ya wenye mradi, kuwaona wadau wote wa mradi, waathirika pamoja na wanaoweza kuathirika kwa namna moja au nyingine, ili aweze kupata mawazo na maoni yao juu ya mradi husika. Hii itawezesha mradi kufanyika kwa maamuzi sahihi na yanayoshirikisha wananchi na wadau wote kwa ujumla.

Kwa kuzingatia umuhimu wa ushirikishaji wananchi katika miradi mbalimbali hapa inchini, ikiwa pia ni utekelezaji wa Sheria ya Hifadhi ya Mazingira ya Mwaka 2004, tunapenda kukufahamisha juu ya shughuli na athari mbalimbali zitakazoambatana na ujenzi wa jengo jipya la Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu. Hii inalenga kukufanya hasa wewe mdau wa mradi uweze kutoa maoni, mawazo na hata maswali kuhusu mradi huu kabla ya ujenzi kuanza. Kwa kifupi mradi umegawanyika katika hatua kuu nne ambazo ni matayarisho ya ujenzi, ujenzi wenyewe, kukabidhi mradi na hatua ya mwisho ni matumizi ya jengo kama ilivyokusudiwa. Ufuatao ni muhtasari wa shughuli za mradi na athari zake.

1 Kipindi cha Maandalizi ya Ujenzi Shughuli: Kufyeka na kusawazisha eneo la mradi, kubomoa majengo yaliyopo eneo la ujenzi, kuzungushia uzio, kujenga jengo la muda mfupi kwa ajili ya matumizi ya ofisi na stoo za mshauri pamoja na mkandarasi, kuleta huduma kama vile maji, mfumo wa maji taka na umeme na kuanda vifaa vya ujenzi, mfano mchanga, mawe na kokoto.

Athari zinazoweza kutokea: Upotevu wa mimea/chanikiwiti, kupotea kwa historia na asili ya eneo wakati wa kubomoa, kufyeka na kusafisha eneo, kelele na vumbi kutokana na ubomoaji wa majengo yaliyopo na msongamano wa magari yatakayo husika na kusomba uchafu tokana na kubomoa eneo la mradi.

2 Wakati wa Ujenzi Shughuli: Upimaji na kuchimba msingi, kumwaga zege na kurudishia udongo kwenye msingi, kuondoa udongo usiotumika katika eneo la mradi, na kuendelea na ujenzi wa gorofa zinazofuata, kuweka paa ikifuatiwa na kuweka huduma za maji, umeme na mfumo wa maji taka na mwishowe kupiga plasta na rangi.

Athari zinazoweza kutokea: Kelele na mitetemo au mitikisiko, msongamano wa magari kutokana na malori mazito yatakayoleta vifaa vya ujenzi, wakati mwingine eneo mkabala na eneo la ujenzi linaweza kutumika kuweka vifaa vya ujenzi na hivyo kusababisha usumbufu kwa watumiaji wa eneo hilo, kuwepo kwa hewa isiyo na ubora kutokana na vumbi, kuumia kwa watu wanaopita au karibu na eneo la ujenzi kutokana na vitu vinavyoweza kuanguka kutoka juu wakati wa ujenzi, kuongezeka kwa maambukizi ya magonjwa yanayotokana na zinaa kama vile Ukimwi utakaosababishwa na mwingiliano wa watu.

3 Wakati wa maandalizi ya kukabidhi mradi Shughuli: Kuhamisha vifaa na mitambo ya ujenzi, kuzalisha taka pamoja na vifaa vinavyobaki na visivyoweza kutumika tena, na shughuli nyinginezo.

Athari: hazitofautiani na za wakati wa ujenzi wa mradi hapo juu.

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 54 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

4 Wakati wa matumizi ya jengo Baada ya kumalizika ujenzi, mradi utakabidhiwa na kuzinduliwa rasmi kwa shughuli iliyokusudiwa ya kutumika kwa wafanyakazi wapatao 200 kwa wakati mmoja na matumizi mengineyo kama vile eneo la maegesho ya magari, vyumba vya mashine za kutolea chapa na ofisi, ghala/stoo, kumbi za mikutano n.k

5 Taka zitokanazo na mradi na udhibiti wake.

Taka ngumu Mfano wa taka ngumu zitokanazo na shughuli za ujenzi ni kama vipande vya mbao/miti, mabati, kifusi, mbao zilizoharibika, mabaki ya vyakula, makasha ya chuma na karatasi ngumu, mabomba chakavu na vingenevyo. Taka ngumu zote zitakusanywa kwa utaratibu maalum na kutupwa sehemu husika zikiunganishwa na taka nyingine zitokanazo na shughuli za kila siku za jiji. Kwa upande mwingine taka kama mabaki ya vyuma, plastiki, vipande vya nyaya na mabomba vitachambuliwa na kurudishwa viwandani kama malighafi ya kutengeneza bidhaa zingine. Hii ni njia inayokubalika na inalenga katika kupunguza uzalishaji taka ngumu.

Maji taka Mfumo wa maji taka kutoka eneo la mradi unategemewa kujengwa na kuunganishwa kwenye mfumo mkuu wa maji taka wa katikati ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam ambao humwaga maji yake baharini kupitia bomba kuu lililoko karibu na hospitali ya Ocean Road karibu na eneo la mradi.

Tunapenda tena kuwasihi wadau wote wanaohusika na mradi, waweze kutoa ushirikiano kwani bila wao mradi hauwezi kufanikiwa kama ilivyokusudiwa. Kwa hiyo tunawaomba watu binafsi, makampuni, tasisi na mashirika mbalimbali ambao kwa namna moja au nyingine wanaguswa na mradi huu, waweze kutoa maoni, michango na hata maswali ili kuweza kupunguza athari za mazingira zinazoweza kuambatana na ujenzi wa mradi na pia kuboresha yaliyo mazuri. Sanjari na ujenzi wa mradi huu, wadau wanashauriwa kutoa mchango wao wa mawazo kwa kuzingatia faida na hasara za mradi.

Baada ya maelezo mafupi kuhusu mradi, tungependa kuwaomba/kukuomba wewe mdau kwa umakini na uzoefu ulionao kuhusu eneo la mradi usome na kutuandikia majibu ya maswali machache yafuatayo ili kuwezesha mradi ufanyike kwa njia ambayo ni shirikishi.

Subject: Questionnaires to Facilitate Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Proposed Construction of New National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Office Building along Kivukoni Front Street in Ilala Municipality in Dar es salaam

Introduction

On behalf of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), M/s Environmental BENCHMARK- Consulting Environmental Engineers of Dar es Salaam are now carrying out an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the proposed new NBS Office Building in Dar es Salaam.

The proposed office building is envisaged to be constructed behind the current NBS office building along Kivukoni Front Street in Ilala municipality in Dar es Salaam. The location of the proposed site is clearly shown on the aerial image presented below

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 58 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

According to the requirements of the Environmental Management Act Cap 191 of 2004, such a development is supposed to undergo an Environmental Impact Assessment and as provided for in the Environmental Impact Assessment and Audit Regulations (2005), it is our responsibility, on behalf of the project proponent to consult and seek views of any individual who is likely to be affected by the undertaking, so that their views/concerns can be incorporated in the implementation of the project.

In view of the above, M/s Environmental BENCHMARK would like to explain on various activities envisaged during project implementation, from which one can be able to express his/her concerns and give suggestions before commencement of the project. Like any other development project, the implementation of the earmarked project will have several phases namely; mobilization, construction, building commissioning, demobilization and finally operation or use of the office building. Brief description of each project activities on every phase is given here under;

1 Mobilization phase Activities: Clearing the site, demolition of the existing office dilapidated buildings, fencing the entire project site perimeter, construction of temporary facilities to cater for offices and store, provide for other services such as water, wastewater and electricity, purchase, haulage and stockpiling of construction materials such as aggregates, sand, cement, timber and reinforcing steel.

Likely impacts Vegetation/greenery clearance, possible disturbances to historical and archaeological finds during site clearance, dust due to demolition of the existing buildings and deterioration of original and familiar land use, scenic and visual quality.

2 Construction phase Activities: Construction of a substructure which will involve setting out, excavation for foundations, concreting foundations/ground floor, backfilling and disposal of overburden followed by building superstructure which involves columns and subsequent cover slabs, construction of more structures ready to receive more floors up to the final floor, then roofing, installation of services including water, wastewater and electricity reticulation and finally finishing works

Likely impacts Nuisance from noise and vibration during construction, increase in traffic levels to the surrounding area as during construction there will be heavy duty vehicles delivering various construction materials. These may increase congestion of vehicles, contamination of water from leakages of fuels and lubricants from the construction equipment, poor air quality from dust and emissions around the construction site and material hauling routes, possible injuries to neighbours from falling blocks, rocks and tools and spread of diseases (HIV/AIDs, STIs or STDs) among members involved in construction,

Environmental BENCHMARK Page 59 of 68 Scoping Report - for Proposed Development of a new NBS Office Building in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam

3 Demobilization phase a) Activities. Clearing of all the site activities in terms of tiding up of all site facilities and removal of all construction equipment and finally disposal of any remaining unwanted material from the site Likely impacts More or less the same as during construction phase

4 Operation Phase Once construction of the office building is completed, it will be commissioned for use, i.e. accommodating at least 200 employees and other basic needs such as car parking, data processing, store room, office rooms, conference facilities, lifts and fire escapes, etc.

5 Waste generation and disposal method

Solid waste: There will be generation of huge volumes of construction debris which will comprise of cleared vegetation, dilapidated furniture from demolition, leftover of roofing materials including asbestos and corrugated iron sheets, timber from roof trusses, blocks from walls and concrete from floor slab and chippings from wall plasters etc. Biodegradable materials wastes such as food leftovers, cardboards, papers will be collected and disposed off along with other city wastes in sanitary landfills. Other materials such as plastics, metal straps, reinforcing bars, unusable timber crates, steel cable pieces, pipes, etc., will be collected and transported to recycling centres within the city premises.

Liquid waste: The waste water from the construction site, particularly the toilets will be linked to the nearby central sewer system.

Yah: Tathmini ya Athari kwa Mazingira na Jamii Kutokana na Mradi wa Ujenzi wa Jengo Jipya la Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu katika Mtaa wa Kivukoni Front Manispaa ya Ilala.

Utangulizi

Kwa niaba ya Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu (National Bureau of Statistics), Kampuni ya Wahandisi Washauri ya Environmental BENCHMARK ya Dar es Salaam, inafanya Tathimini ya Athari kwa Mazingira na Jamiii kutokana na mradi unaokusudiwa wa ujenzi wa jengo la ghorofa kumi na mbili katika mtaa wa Kivukoni Front Manispaa ya Ilala jijini Dar es Salaam.

Mradi huu unategemewa kujengwa nyuma ya jengo la sasa la Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu kama ilivyoonyeshwa hapo chini kwenye picha ya setellite iliyopigwa siku za nyuma.

Kufuatana na Sheria ya Mazingira ya Mwaka 2004 na Mwongozo wa Tathimini ya Athari za Mazingira na Ukaguzi za mwaka 2005, ni wajibu wa Mtalamu wa Mazingira aliyekabidhiwa kufanya tathimini kwa niaba ya wenye mradi, kuwaona wadau wote wa mradi, waathirika pamoja na wanaoweza kuathirika kwa namna moja au nyingine, ili aweze kupata mawazo na maoni yao juu ya mradi husika. Hii itawezesha mradi kufanyika kwa maamuzi sahihi na yanayoshirikisha wananchi na wadau wote kwa ujumla.

Kwa kuzingatia umuhimu wa ushirikishaji wananchi katika miradi mbalimbali hapa inchini, ikiwa pia ni utekelezaji wa Sheria ya Hifadhi ya Mazingira ya Mwaka 2004, tunapenda kukufahamisha juu ya shughuli na athari mbalimbali zitakazoambatana na ujenzi wa jengo jipya la Ofisi ya Taifa ya Takwimu. Hii inalenga kukufanya hasa wewe mdau wa mradi uweze kutoa maoni, mawazo na hata maswali kuhusu mradi huu kabla ya ujenzi kuanza. Kwa kifupi mradi umegawanyika katika hatua kuu nne ambazo ni matayarisho ya ujenzi, ujenzi wenyewe, kukabidhi mradi na hatua ya mwisho ni matumizi ya jengo kama ilivyokusudiwa. Ufuatao ni muhtasari wa shughuli za mradi na athari zake.

1 Kipindi cha Maandalizi ya Ujenzi Shughuli: Kufyeka na kusawazisha eneo la mradi, kubomoa majengo yaliyopo eneo la ujenzi, kuzungushia uzio, kujenga jengo la muda mfupi kwa ajili ya matumizi ya ofisi na stoo za mshauri pamoja na mkandarasi, kuleta huduma kama vile maji, mfumo wa maji taka na umeme na kuanda vifaa vya ujenzi, mfano mchanga, mawe na kokoto.

Athari zinazoweza kutokea: Upotevu wa mimea/chanikiwiti, kupotea kwa historia na asili ya eneo wakati wa kubomoa, kufyeka na kusafisha eneo, kelele na vumbi kutokana na ubomoaji wa majengo yaliyopo na msongamano wa magari yatakayo husika na kusomba uchafu tokana na kubomoa eneo la mradi.

2 Wakati wa Ujenzi Shughuli: Upimaji na kuchimba msingi, kumwaga zege na kurudishia udongo kwenye msingi, kuondoa udongo usiotumika katika eneo la mradi, na kuendelea na ujenzi wa gorofa zinazofuata, kuweka paa ikifuatiwa na kuweka huduma za maji, umeme na mfumo wa maji taka na mwishowe kupiga plasta na rangi.

Athari zinazoweza kutokea: Kelele na mitetemo au mitikisiko, msongamano wa magari kutokana na malori mazito yatakayoleta vifaa vya ujenzi, wakati mwingine eneo mkabala na eneo la ujenzi linaweza kutumika kuweka vifaa vya ujenzi na hivyo kusababisha usumbufu kwa watumiaji wa eneo hilo, kuwepo kwa hewa isiyo na ubora kutokana na vumbi, kuumia kwa watu wanaopita au karibu na eneo la ujenzi kutokana na vitu vinavyoweza kuanguka kutoka juu wakati wa ujenzi, kuongezeka kwa maambukizi ya magonjwa yanayotokana na zinaa kama vile Ukimwi utakaosababishwa na mwingiliano wa watu.

3 Wakati wa maandalizi ya kukabidhi mradi Shughuli: Kuhamisha vifaa na mitambo ya ujenzi, kuzalisha taka pamoja na vifaa vinavyobaki na visivyoweza kutumika tena, na shughuli nyinginezo.

Athari: hazitofautiani na za wakati wa ujenzi wa mradi hapo juu.

4 Wakati wa matumizi ya jengo Baada ya kumalizika ujenzi, mradi utakabidhiwa na kuzinduliwa rasmi kwa shughuli iliyokusudiwa ya kutumika kwa wafanyakazi wapatao 200 kwa wakati mmoja na matumizi mengineyo kama vile eneo la maegesho ya magari, vyumba vya mashine za kutolea chapa na ofisi, ghala/stoo, kumbi za mikutano n.k

5 Taka zitokanazo na mradi na udhibiti wake.

Taka ngumu Mfano wa taka ngumu zitokanazo na shughuli za ujenzi ni kama vipande vya mbao/miti, mabati, kifusi, mbao zilizoharibika, mabaki ya vyakula, makasha ya chuma na karatasi ngumu, mabomba chakavu na vingenevyo. Taka ngumu zote zitakusanywa kwa utaratibu maalum na kutupwa sehemu husika zikiunganishwa na taka nyingine zitokanazo na shughuli za kila siku za jiji. Kwa upande mwingine taka kama mabaki ya vyuma, plastiki, vipande vya nyaya na mabomba vitachambuliwa na kurudishwa viwandani kama malighafi ya kutengeneza bidhaa zingine. Hii ni njia inayokubalika na inalenga katika kupunguza uzalishaji taka ngumu.

Maji taka Mfumo wa maji taka kutoka eneo la mradi unategemewa kujengwa na kuunganishwa kwenye mfumo mkuu wa maji taka wa katikati ya Jiji la Dar es Salaam ambao humwaga maji yake baharini kupitia bomba kuu lililoko karibu na hospitali ya Ocean Road karibu na eneo la mradi.

Tunapenda tena kuwasihi wadau wote wanaohusika na mradi, waweze kutoa ushirikiano kwani bila wao mradi hauwezi kufanikiwa kama ilivyokusudiwa. Kwa hiyo tunawaomba watu binafsi, makampuni, tasisi na mashirika mbalimbali ambao kwa namna moja au nyingine wanaguswa na mradi huu, waweze kutoa maoni, michango na hata maswali ili kuweza kupunguza athari za mazingira zinazoweza kuambatana na ujenzi wa mradi na pia kuboresha yaliyo mazuri. Sanjari na ujenzi wa mradi huu, wadau wanashauriwa kutoa mchango wao wa mawazo kwa kuzingatia faida na hasara za mradi.

Baada ya maelezo mafupi kuhusu mradi, tungependa kuwaomba/kukuomba wewe mdau kwa umakini na uzoefu ulionao kuhusu eneo la mradi usome na kutuandikia majibu ya maswali machache yafuatayo ili kuwezesha mradi ufanyike kwa njia ambayo ni shirikishi.
