1. Introduction.

The Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Programme (GCWWMIIP) is aided by the Government of Sri Lanka, Asian Development Bank (ADB) and executed by Ministry of Urban Development, Water Supply and Housing Facilities and implemented by National Water Supply & Drainage Board.

The investment program uses a multitranch financing facility (MFF) and delivered in four projects. As per ADB’s safeguard requirements, an environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) was prepared to guide environmental assessment throughout the entire MFF period. Tranche 1 covers water supply service improvement in North Colombo and Tranche 2 covers investments in the south part of Colombo city which aim to deliver better urban water supply services in an effective manner by reducing non-revenue (NRW) in the area. Tranche 3 provide additional financing for Tranche 1 & 2 and offer funds for Project Development Assistance (PDA).

This Bi-annual report consists of status of project Environmental Management and Monitoring progress for the period of 1st of January to 30th of June 2020. Further this report is developed for the components under National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB).

1.2. Objectives

The main objective of GCWWMIIP is to improve water and wastewater service and management efficiency, security and have an important effect on public health in Greater Colombo.

The Program will:

(i) Reduce NRW in Colombo City from 49% in 2012 to below 18% by 2020 and in critical areas in particular from 60% to below 18% in 2020,

(ii) Enhance the institutional and operational capacity of the Western Central Regional Support Center (RSC-WC) to reach 100%, 24-hour quality water supply in Colombo city;

(iii) Expand wastewater collection, introduce wastewater treatment, enhance the capacity of CMC,

(iv) Sustainability of the wastewater service to have 100% wastewater coverage in Colombo city and 100% sanitation coverage in Greater Colombo.

The wastewater project is considered a separate component under Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) with a different PMU.

1.3. Environmental Category as per ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009.

Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management Improvement Investment Programme (GCWWMIIP) has been classified by ADB as environmental assessment category B (some negative impacts but less significant than category A). The environmental impacts of the investments under the south part of Colombo city subproject have been reviewed in accordance with the EARF prepared for the program. Results of the assessment show that the south part of Colombo city subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS’s requirements for environment category B projects.

Project components are located in Greater Colombo urban area and there is no natural habitat left at these sites. The project sites are located in existing right of ways (RoWs) and government- owned land. There are no protected areas, wetlands, mangroves, or estuaries in or near the project location. There are no forest areas within or near the project sites. Soils are deep, and do not require cutting of rocks for pipe laying. The main activities of rehabilitation of Colombo city water distribution network is mentioned in the table below.

2. Projects Safeguards Team

The project is implemented by a Project Management Unit (PMU) headed by the Project Director which has been established in NWSDB. PMU has the overall responsibility in monitoring the implementation of EMP by each contractor. The Construction Supervision Consultant/ Engineer {M/s SMEC international & SETEC Engineering GmbH &Co KG (NRWCSC)} working under the PMU directly supervise and monitor the contractor in implementing the EMP. An Environmental Management Specialist (EMS) has been appointed by the consultant to look into the environmental safeguards aspects of the overall project. However, the EMS conducts site visits regularly to monitor the mitigatory measures which have been implemented by the contractor to minimize the environmental impact.

Further representing the PMU, the PIU staffs (Project Managers of NWSDB, Engineers and EAs’) are monitored the mitigatory measures that have implemented by the contractors. The PIU staffs conduct regular site visit and propose mitigatory measures to minimize the negative environmental impact and inconvenience to the general public. The environmental and social safeguard training programs and workshops that are conducted by ADB and consultant, have been enhanced the knowledge and skills of the PIU and contractors’ staffs.

7.1. Dust Control Measures:

During dry and windy weather situations, water bowsers were used to spray water on dusty pipe laying sites to suppress the dust emission. Plastic water tanks with elevated iron stands were made available at excavation sites so that site workers can wet the dusty site floor during their work, and also can clean the floor once they completed the work, before leaving the site. Also, site workers were encouraged to use poly ethylene sheets to heap the excavated spoil material on the trench’s side, till they are taken away from the site to dump at approved disposal yards. Construction material such as quarry dust and cold mix were also kept on laid polythene sheets once they were taken to pipe laying sites.

12. Conclusion and further actions

The ongoing works of sub projects did not make vital impacts to the surrounding environment. However, observations revealed that there were some impacts due to dust emission, noise related issues at night time work, utility damages, soil/quarry dust & ABC erosion and delay of reinstatement activities. It was exposed that construction safety and the occupational safety activities which are poor in few locations of the program. The contractors of Package I, II, III and IV to be further improved their social safeguard measures.

The ongoing construction works have caused traffic congestion due to high volume of traffic and narrow condition of existing roads, therefore a good traffic control plan to be implemented throughout the working period.

The project’s Grievance Redresses Mechanism was established. No significant issues were observed during the reporting period. The contractors should give attention to reduce public nuisances caused by the construction works, especially they involved for rectification activities on utilities, house damages and reinstatement activities too.

The status of the compliance of the environmental conditions in the EMoP were at the acceptable level during the reporting period. No major complaints were received during this period. Therefore, it can be concluded that the public were not affected badly and no serious issues created due to the project activities.
