1. INTRODUCTION

1. Background. ADB Loan 3434, Grants 0498/9188 and Technical Assistance 9138 (TAJ: The Water Resources Management in the Pyanj River Basin (PRB) Project) will improve institutional and physical capacities of water resources management (WRM) system in PRB of southern Tajikistan. The project will: (i) establish a PRB organization, council, and Joint PRB committee, and develop a PRB management plan; (ii) modernize and climate-proof the Chubek Irrigation System (CIS); and (iii) improve farm and water use management capacities. The project was approved on 28 September 2016 and became effective on 08 August 2017.

2. The key outputs of the project are below and described in detail in succeeding sections:

Output 1: Water resources in PRB better managed Output 2: CIS WRM modernized and climate-proofed Output 3: Farm management capacity and water use skill improved

3. Categorization. The project is classified as environment Category B per ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) and assessed that potential impacts that are not likely to be significant adverse environmental impacts that are irreversible, diverse, or unprecedented. The project area is not adjacent to or within any environmental sensitive area. The physical activity is limited to rehabilitation of existing irrigation facilities and building a new sedimentation pond. Site-specific environmental impacts are expected during construction and operation. Thus, Initial Environmental Examinations (IEEs) with environmental management plans (EMPs) per ADB SPS requirements were prepared and disclosed on ADB website (https://www.adb.org/projects/47181-002/main#project-documents) and project website (https://www.adb.org/projects/47181-002/main#project-documents). According to the IEE, the civil works are small-scale and are carried out within the framework of an existing and long-established irrigation system in a heavily modified agricultural landscape. An updated IEE was prepared and disclosed on October 2019 (https://www.adb.org/projects/documents/taj-47181-002-iee). The contractors are required to submit site-specific environmental management plans (SSEMP) prior to start of works.

4. Implementation Arrangement. The Agency for Land Reclamation and Irrigation (ALRI) is the executing agency to manage outputs 2 and 3 while the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MEWR) is the executing agency for output 1. ALRI established a project implementation group (PIG) to manage and coordinate on a daily basis the monitoring and organizational activity of the project. The PIG is the leading operational institution for the implementation of the project in accordance with the Project Administration Manual (PAM). Three project implementation units (PIUs) under ALRI are established in three project districts. The PIG and PIUs are supported by the construction supervision consultant (CSC) BETS Consulting Services Ltd. Bangladesh in association with LLC Panasia Ltd., Tajikistan (BETS) in ensuring of environmental safeguards compliance and fulfillment of the EMP/SSEMP.

5. For the implementation of environmental safeguards requirements, environmental specialists have been assigned by ALRI PIG, the CSC and by Contractors.

6. Purporse of the the Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR). Per ADB requirements, ALRI is required to submit to ADB the report on compliance with requirements of ADB SPS, implementation of environmental management plans, issues/concerns/complaints received, corrective actions, and other environment-related matters on a semi-annual basis. This SAEMR covers the period of July to December 2019 and provides the results of monitoring activities only for irrigation hydraulic structures (Output 2). The works on the sedimentation excluding basin has not started. This SAEMR covers 17

(seventeen) jamoats of Hamadoni, Farkhor, and Vose districts of Khatlon region, which are pilot districts under the project.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES

2.1. Project Description

7. The aim of the project is to improve the institutional and physical capabilities of WRM systems in Khatlon region, which include four districts: Farkhor, Hamadoni and Vose. The project includes the following three interrelated components under the 3 outputs.

 Output 1: Institutional strengthening and management of the river basin with the aim of establishing the Pyanj River Basin Organization (PRBO), the Pyanj River Basin Council and the Joint Tajikistan / Afghanistan Commission on PRB, as well as the development of the PRB management plan and the joint monitoring program of Tajikistan / Afghanistan.  Output 2: CIS modernization of the irrigation system and its resilience to climate change, including the removal of sediment from canals and drainage collectors, the design and installation of sediment basin and the rehabilitation of existing canal gates, spillways and water meters, as well as the design and rehabilitation of existing pump stations, including installation of new pumps, electric motors, electrical panels and flow meters (SCADA).  Output 3: Improving farm management capacity for water use skills in the CIS in order to increase farm and water management capabilities through the involvement of non- government organization (NGO) partners. Its target groups are CIS farmers and water users associations (WUAs), and they will be implemented through the involvement of government agencies responsible for crop management and irrigation control.

8. The components which which require civil works are under Output 2: (i) modernization and rehabilitation of the CIS’ Chubek Main Canal (CMC) and its climate-proofness; (ii) construction of a CMC sediment basin and inter-farm canals; (iii) modernization and rehabilitation of pump units. The details are:

2.2 Project Location

9. The CIS is located in the Khatlon region on the right bank of the Pyanj river and provides water supply to four districts - Hamadoni, Farkhor, Vose and Kulyab (Kulyab district is not covered by the project under Output 2). The CIS forms the main supply of irrigation water. Water is supplied on gravity and by 20 pumping units. Map 1 shows the location of sites in the country scale.

Map 1. Location Map of the Project in Country Scale

10. Water flows into the CMC, which is part of CIS, from the Pyanj river through the diversion canal, 1 km long, 30 m wide and head water intake structure with an average flow depth of 2.5 m. The Chubek Main Canal, with original capacity of about 150 cubic meter per second (m3/sec), was constructed in 1950 while the distribution system was constructed during 1950–1987 during Soviet times, to supply water to command areas located in Farkhor, Hamadoni, Kulob, and Vose districts. The head water intake structure of CMC has five compartments controlled by gates.

11. During the vegetation season from April to October, the water flow from Pyanj river ranges from 27.16 to 82.82 m3/s, and in the remaining months it ranges from 9.0 to 13.5 m3/s. The flow rate from the Pyanj river to the CMC is 3.3–3.9 m3/s.

12. Although the state of CIS is relatively better than the canals of the downstream, it is characterized by sediment deposition in the upstream; In addition, the structures are in poor condition and need the repair and rehabilitation.

13. At the initial design stage, the CIS command area was 50,163 ha, which is about 73% of the total irrigated land of the four districts. However, the command zone has now been

6 reduced to 43,201 ha (63%) of the total irrigated land. About 71% of the irrigated territories of CIS - water is supplied by gravity, and water is supplied to the remaining territories by pumps.

14. There are 73 main and inter-farm canals in the CIS with a total length of about 396 km, of which 102 km are concrete and 499 various irrigation structures. All canals and structures were built in the 1950-1980s. The life of all structures has expired, and now they are in very poor condition and need to be rehabilitated and modernized.

2.2. Agreements (Contracts) for Project Implementation and Management

15. Project Implementation Group. ALRI established a PIG to manage and coordinate on a daily basis the monitoring and organizational activity of the project. The PIG is the leading operational institution for the implementation of the project in accordance with the PAM.

2.4. Description of Changes in the Design of the Project

44. In early February 2019, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Tajikistan K. Rasulzoda, got acquainted with the project and visited the future construction site of the sediment basin. He recommended within the framework of the project to consider the possibility of strengthening the protection of the project territory from the floods of the Pyanj River.

45. According to the decision made at the ADB videoconference dated February 27, 2019, the Consultant proceeded to correct the sediment basin design with the aim of constructing additional embankment protection structures to enhance the protection of the sediment basin territory from the floods of the Pyanj River, within the allocated funds, without violating the hydraulic mode of the sediment basin.

46. To complete the updating of the IEE, it was recommended that sediment testing be carried out under the project “Construction of the lake-type sediment basin in Hamadoni district of Khatlon Region”. In August 2019, samples were taken in strategic places / sections / and sediments were tested in a certified laboratory of the Institute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tajikistan to determine their possible pollution (especially pesticides that may be present in irrigation runoff). The sediment samples analysis results showed that there are no standards exceeding on 10 all parameters detected.2

47. After receiving the approval of the updated IEE and its confirmation, a tender will be announced for the construction of lake-type sediment basin

2.5. Description of Changes in Agreed Construction Methods

48. The construction method as agreed between the PIG, PIU and contractor are as follows:

 Concrete and RCC works carried out in accordance with GOST 266-85 or equivalent international standards.  During performing the earthworks were guided the SNiP 3.01.01-85, SNiP 3.02.01- 87, SNiP 3.07.03-85, SNiP 111-8-76, SNiP 3.01.03-84.  With excavator bucket, with capacity 0.65-1.0 m3, sediments removed from the canal and laid out on the cavaliers. After the removal of sediment, the bottom soil and canal slopes are compacted by the impact method (with excavator bucket). The sediment removed from the canal leveled with a bulldozer.  On some canals, after cleaning from sediments, carried out the lining (concreting) of the bed and slopes of the canal in places. After compaction of the bed and slopes, executing the crushed stone preparation with thickness 7-10 cm, further the concreting of the bed and slopes with thick. 15 cm carried out with reinforcement with steel bars of the grade VR-5.  Every 6 m along the bed and slopes of the canal, the temperature joints are made of wood, waterproofed with bitumen.

49. There were no changes in construction methods for the reporting period.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES

3.1 General Description of Environmental Activities

50. For the reporting period from July to December 2019, the Contractor did not submit any report on environmental monitoring since the start of construction work that began in October 2019. Environmental monitoring in the project areas was carried out only by the specialists of PIG and PIUs of 3 districts (ALRI). No letter or written notice of non-compliance was issued to the contractor. All notes were done verbally.

51. During the reporting period, the Consultant (BETS) did not hire local design and technical supervision consultants, as well as the Environmental specialist, and as a result, no environmental monitoring of projects activities was conducted and no environmental monitoring reports were provided. During 2019, BETS specialists were engaged in design work on the changed parameters of the lake-type sediment basin.

52. PIG announced the position of Environmetal specialist in November 2019, however no candidates were selected and no speciliast was hired in 2019.

3.2. Field Inspections

53. For the reporting period, 44 different field visits and meetings were conducted. The purpose of field visits in the construction sites is to conduct inspections on environmental issues, the progress of construction and rehabilitation works in accordance with the requirements of EMP/SSEMP, the compliance of these tasks with the legislative and regulatory acts of the Republic of Tajikistan and the requirements of ADB. No labor camps were arranged during reporting period, as workers were local residents.

54. During the inspections, visual inspections were carried out in the places, meetings with workers, personnel of the Contractor, engineers and specialists.

55. Table 12 provides information on visits to construction sites of any official inspections carried out by the PIG, PIU staff to monitor construction work and the environment during the current reporting period.

3.5. Unexpected Environmental Impacts or Risks

59. Monitoring for the reporting period from the beginning of construction work from October to December 2019 was carried out by the PIG and PIOs in district levels. Unforeseen environmental impacts3 were not identified. As per IEE most physical works are small scale occurring within an existing well-established irrigation system in a highly modified agricultural landscape, away from settlements and sensitive receptors. Potential foreseen negative construction phase environmental impacts are typical for irrigation rehabilitation and include: (i) soil and water contamination from petroleum products and hazardous materials; (ii) sediment disposal during canal rehabilitation activities, including disposal of excavated sediments and other materials from irrigation canals, drainage collectors and the settling basin; (iii) construction and domestic waste and spoil disposal; (iv) air pollution from fugitive dust; (v) noise and vibration; (vi) hydrology impacts; (vii) impacts on protected areas, flora and fauna; (viii) community disturbance and safety; and (ix) health and safety risks to workers and residents.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING RESULTS

4.1 General Monitoring during the Current Period

60. For the reporting period from July to December 2019 the Contractor has not submitted environmental monitoring reports since the start of construction work in October 2019. The Contractor's reports contain information only about the performed volume of work. At the same time, an environmental specialist was not hired in PIG. These non-compliances require corrective actions which are included in Corrective Action plan below.

61. Monitoring should be conducted in accordance with the Environmental Management Plans (EMP / SSEMP) and ADB SPS 2009, as well as the environmental legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan.

62. The environmental monitoring consists of the following two parts:

 monitoring compliance with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP / SSEMP) to review the conditions necessary to comply with the Project Construction Phase; and  environmental monitoring. EMP compliance assessment began with a review of the environmental management conditions required for compliance during the construction phase of the project.

4.2. Wastewater

63. According to EMP / cleared SSEMP requirements (SSEMP was submitted in September 2019 and cleared in October 2019 by PIG), the Contractor is obliged to provide workers with appropriate temporary sanitary conditions and showers. Toilets should be equipped with water storage tanks. Tanks should be pumped out as needed, and drains must be transported for cleaning by the local sanitation department.

64. All hired workers of the Contractor are the local people and during carrying out the works near the settlements, only local toilets were used. TheThere were no other toilets arranged during the reporting period. For the construction sites at the big distance from settlements the traditional cesspool toilets were arranged. The cesspools are enclosed with cloth or plywood, and after completion of works in this area, the pits are filled up by soil.

4.3. Air Quality

65. The work was carried out from October to December 2019 rather far away from the settlements, so there was no need to suppress dust due to weather conditions (rain, snow). Construction equipment was in good condition, regularly inspected by engineers of Contractor and PIG. The construction company receives a licence for 5 years from the licensing department of the Committee on Architecture and Construction. For the receiving of licance the Company submits all required documents regarding the construction methods, types of construction equipment, etc. No other permits are required.

4.4. Impact of Noise and Vibration

66. According to the EMP, no instrumental noise measurement is foreseen. During the reporting period, work on cleaning canals of sediments was carried out at the big distance from the settlements. When working near settlements, to minimize the impact of noise, Contractor restricted the activity time of one excavator (from 8 am to 18 pm). Сommunities were informed of the construction activities. No noise level measurements are foreseen as per EMP/IEE.

4.5. Flora and Fauna

67. Contractor did not cut trees along canals and collectors during sediment excavation. No cases of illegal poaching were reported and recorded by project PIUs and local environmental departments of the districts.

4.6. Use of Material Resources

68. The Сontractor did not make any records on use of material resources during the reporting period. Contractor will be obliged to keep relevant records on electricity, water, fuel use starting from January 2020. This information will be provided in the next SAEMR (January- June 2020).

4.6.1. Current period

69. No information on the consumption of resources for the reporting period from July to December 2019 was provided by Contractor.

4.6.2. Cumulative Use of Resources

70. Contractors will begin to record the consumption (use) of electricity, water or any other material resources only from January 2020, and data will be available only in the next SA- EMR for January-June 2020.

4.7. Waste Management

71. During the reporting period, no agreements on waste removal (household waste from the office of Contractor) with the utilities of the Vose and Farkhor subproject areas were concluded as there are no labor camps and offices arranged here. At the leased base of the Contractor in Hamadoni district, the owner of the building and area provided for the office of Contractor has an annual contract with a licensed company in the Hamadoni district for the collection and disposal of non-hazardous waste (paper, food remnants etc).

4.7.1. Current Period

72. The main waste after rehabilitation during the reporting period were non-hazardous construction wastes, such as sediment (sand) (150000 m3), inert materials (2500 m3), concrete structures (1600 m3) , metals (16 tons), cement bags ( 3200 nos.) were generated. 73. Sediments extracted from the bottom of canals and drainage collectors fell out and leveled into berms adjacent to one or both sides of canals or collectors. Old concrete structures were crushed and reused for canal lining. Steel, wooden structures and cement bags were stored at sites and subsequently transferred to the respective material processing companies. The steel structures are on the balance of ALRI local departments (Vodkhoses). After the dismantling of the structures, an evaluation committee is created, which determines their condition, the operating life gives an opinion on decommissioning. Further ALRI writes a letter to the State Committee for Investments and State Property Management of the RT and informs them about the state of structures (with photos and seals). Further, the State Committee gives the green light to scrap. Cement bags picked up by the workers (in turn) for their household needs (for example, they are washed and sewing tents). Wooden structures are decommission for firewood.

74. The contractor – LLC Nun Ken Ziang Gun in Hamadoni district has its own base in rented building and area at the Kolkhoznaya street, h.26. (office), as well as offices in Farhor and Vose districts, where the warehouses for construction materials are located (Photo 24).

75. On the fenced area of the Contractor’s base, at the distance of more than 50 m from the drainage facilities, there is a tank with fuel and lubricants (diesel fuel), (Photo 25). The tank installed on special RCC beds, but on the open soil without an impenetrable surface, without relevant containtment area which should be 110% of the tank capacity; there is RCC tray (oil trap) near the tank. No written letter was issued to contractor by PIG to correct the non-compliance. The notes were done verbally. Contractor equipment (excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks) are refueled at the base. Contractor's equipment is in good condition, regularly inspected and replaced with oil at service stations, and only petrol-powered equipment is refueled at private gas stations.

76. During the reporting period, no other chemicals and hazardous materials stored or used by Contractor.

77. There are no garbage containers for household waste arranged at work sites. No written letter was issued to contractor by PIG to correct the non-compliance, only verbal comment was done.
