1. INTRODUCTION
1. The Government of Uzbekistan has signed a Loan Agreement with ADB for the electrification of the railway line Pap – Namangan - Andijan. The proposed project will electrify the missing 145.2 km of non-electrified track linking major cities in the populous Fergana Valley with Tashkent. This will facilitate direct and efficient operation of both freight and passenger train services and thereby promote economic and social development of the Fergana Valley. 2. ADB has provided a technical assistance for the Project preparation in accordance with ADB requirements. Along with this, the national feasibility study are being developed by national design institute Boshtransloyiha (BTL). 3. The Project will be implemented within a period of three years starting from May 2017. Preparation and planning activities was carried out during 2016-2017. The estimated completion date is June 2020 and the financial closing date is December 2020. 4. The project will have two outputs: (i) Output 1: Railway infrastructure along the Pap-Namangan-Andijan line upgraded. This includes electrification of 145.2 km of the single-track main railway line to 27.5 kilovolts alternating current (including the electrification of the locomotive depot in Andijan and a spur line to Uchkurgan), construction of 2 traction substations and dispatcher points, purchase of maintenance equipment and machinery, modernization of signaling and communications facilities, and construction of external power supply facilities which will transmit electricity from the main grid to the traction substations. The project will build upon another initiative being taken by UTY and the government to realign 6,7 km of the railway line to bypass a section of the line that currently traverses the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic. The construction of this bypass will not be considered part of the ADB-financed project, but rather as an associated facility. UTY and the government confirmed that the development of the bypass was not done in anticipation of ADB’s financing of the project.
(ii) Output 2: Safety of railway operations improved. With the project, it is expected that train frequencies and speeds will increase. In addition, the presence of the power lines may pose additional risks of electrocution. To offset any potential negative impacts, the project will support UTY in (i) conducting an assessment of the existing and anticipated safety situation to the general public including children, (ii) supporting the development of practical countermeasures, and (iii) training of staff to plan future railway developments in the safest manner.
5. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) was conducted for the Project which consisted of Initial examination of electrified part of railway (145,2 km) and due diligence for the realigning 6,7 km. Based on the results of due diligence assessment of new 6.7 km a Corrective Actions Plan (CAP) was developed in order to bring environmental performance at construction site in compliance with ADB SPS (2009) requirements. 6. Supervision Consultant for this project took up its duties in December 2017. It is planning that preparation of tender documents for Contractor will be completed in first quarter of 2018. 7. This environmental monitoring report provides information on status of the CAP implementation for the period July-December 2017 and next steps for full implementation activities indicated in the CAP. Next bi-annual EMR will include information on CAP implementation for the new part of alignment and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) implementation for existing part.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Existing situation 41. Pap-Namangan-Andijan railway line under consideration runs through the territory of two provinces of Ferghana Valley of Uzbekistan – Namangan (Pap, Chust, Namangan, Chortoq, Khakkulabad districts) and Andijan (Figure 1). Namangan’s part of the road is about 112 km, while Andijan’s part is about 33 km. The railway line runs through the territory of settlements and agricultural lands. The main settlements that are crossed by the railroad are: Pap city, Namangan, Chortoq, Uychi, Haqqulobod, Paytug, Qurgan Yer, and Andijan city. 42. The existing railway line is a single-track line, and the length of the section to be electrified is 145.2 km. The railway line meets the requirements of Category III Railway Lines Code for lines with a speed of up to 120 km/h, but current maximum speed of trains on Pap- Namangan-Andijan does not exceed 60 km/h. 43. A small section (6.7 km) of the project electrification will be over tracks that are being constructed by the government to bypass the existing tracks travelling through neighboring Kyrgyz Republic. The construction of this bypass is outside the project scope and is being conducted by the government and UTY regardless of ADB finance for the electrification project. This construction was initiated without anticipation of ADB financing the project. There is also an existing facility outside of the project scope, comprising the building and maintenance activities at the Andijan Depot (Figure 3). 44. For associated facilities a due diligence assessment was conducted and a corrective action plan was developed within the IEE (August, 2017 and the latest updated version in February, 2018). Audit of operations was conducted for existing facilities, namely Andijan depot building itself. General information about project components and required actions are included in Table 1. Figure 2 also presents information about project components and associated facilities.

2.2 Current status of the Project
45. At the time of writing this report construction works on 6,7 km bypass were suspended. Some works were carried out until September 2017. Particularly, the following works were implemented on 6,7 km bypass (Figure 4): • Ditch cut was prepared on the site from the point where 6,7 km beginning (PK1259) until Kizil Ravat settlement (PK1270) in Uychi district; • Some preparation works have been started on agriculture lands in Uchkurgan district. 46. The works were suspended until all necessary permissions related to the environmental and resettlement issues will be obtained and necessary requirements will be implemented.
3. LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND INSTITUTIONAL ORGANIZATION
3.3. Legal framework and permissions
8. The ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 sets out policy principles and outlines the delivery for ADB’s safeguards policy in relation to environmental safeguards. The ADB has adopted sets of specific safeguards requirements that borrowers/clients are required to meet in addressing environmental and social impacts and risks. ADB staff will ensure that borrowers’ clients comply with these requirements during project preparation and implementation.

9. In accordance with ADB SPS (2009), the Project belongs to category B, therefore initial environmental examination (IEE), which was based on data from the feasibility study, preliminary design, site visits and interviews with technical experts, as well as primary and secondary data including thus the feedback received during the public disclosure process was conducted for the project. As it was mentioned above, due diligence and environmental audit were conducted for the project associated facilities (6,7 km bypass) and existing part (locomotive depo in Andijan). 10. In compliance with Appendix 2 of the Cabinet Ministers’ Decree of the RUz No. 491, (December 2001), project belongs to Category 1 respect to their environmental impact (high impact risk). Prior to construction such projects require to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment and get an Environmental Appraisal from the State Nature Protection Committee (SNPC) of Uzbekistan at the national level. It should be noted that the national Environmental Assessment covered all project’s components and associated facilities (electrification of existing railway and construction and electrification of new alignment). 11. The Environmental Appraisal for the project was obtained in November 4, 2016. The Appraisal endorses the Environmental Assessment and provides several conditions needed to be implemented by the Implementation Agency during the construction phase and before the project commencement. The Appraisal is presented in Attachment 1. 12. The Environmental Appraisal lists the following issues which have to be reflected during the next stage of national Environmental Assessment: • development of norms of all kind of environment impacts of designing works; • development of plan – schedule of conducting step by step technical and biological re-cultivation of disturbed lands, approved by provincial committee on nature protection; • cutting trees in the buffer line railway track, which should be approved by provincial committees for nature protection in a fixed legislative order with indicating compensation amounts (in accordance with Resolution of Cabinet of Ministries of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 290 dated 20.10.2014); • way of treatment of generated waste waters (from rehabilitated stations); • development actions for birds’ protection.
13. The Table 1 in IEE (dated from February 2018) lists permissions from national agencies needed to be received prior commencement of civil works and prior the project operation (Table 2): Table 2: List of necessary approvals and permissions # Name of the document Time of receiving Responsible permission entity 1 Permission/license for using existing Prior commencement of Contractor borrow pits or opening new ones the construction works 2 Permission on cutting trees Prior commencement of Contractor the construction works 3 Statement on Environmental Prior commencement of UTY Consequences for each stations electrified railway
14. Obtaining the permissions is mandatory condition not only for existing railway but for the new bypass as well. Since this part of the project (6,7 km bypass) are being implemented by UTY, responsible entity is UTY itself. 15. For the construction activity significant amount of gravel, sand and soil will be used. Gravel and sand are supplied from LLC “Namangan Karyer” located in Namangan province.
10
The mining of these materials are being conducted from certified deposit based on a license received from State Commission of RUz on Providing rights to use sites for mining under the Cabinet Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The license was issued in June 28, 2013 and valid until June 28, 2018. Scanned form of the license is provided in Attachment 1. 16. 3 sites for development of borrow pits for soil extraction were identified by “O’ZGASHKLITI”. Currently NOKS is working on receiving all necessary permissions from relevant agencies (land cadaster, nature protection committee and etc.) 17. In accordance with national legislation, a permission for cutting trees has to be obtained from national environmental committee “Goskomekologya”, district branches. However, almost all trees which will be cut for construction of the bypass belong to households, farmers (Uchkurgan and Uychi districts) and forestry (Uchkurgan district). Compensations for these trees are included in total amount which will be paid to affected people and forestry administration in accordance with national regulations. Information on completed and planning payment are presented in the UTY’s Monitoring Reports for September and October 2017. 18. To make sure that all cut trees are paid to the relevant parties, PIU’s environmental specialist will review 6,7 km bypass route together with representative of “Goskomekologya” and will receive confirmation that all trees are accounted.
3.4. Institutional Organization
19. The Project Implementation Unit at UTY is responsible for implementation of EMP to comply with ADB’s safeguards requirements and environmental national regulations. For this, PIU qualified full-time safeguard staff has hired who is assisted by the national Environmental Specialist (ES) of the Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) in overseeing the implementation of EMP. 20. NOKS (Department of Capital Construction) under UTY is responsible for CAP implementation. UTY-E environmental specialist monitors CAP’s implementation as well and conducts measurements of water, air quality as it is indicated in CAP.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
4.3. Implementation of CAP
4.1.1. Construction of new 6,7 km alignment
47. Corrective Action Plan (Table 13, IEE (November 2017)) indicates several actions which have to be undertaken in order to bring environmental performance on this associated part of the project to the compliance with ADB SPS (2009) requirements. The CAP considered requirements of National environmental assessment which highlighted several requirements mandatory for implementation before commencement of civil works, during construction and before operation. Requirements related to this part of the project are followings: • development of plan – schedule of conducting step by step technical and biological re-cultivation of disturbed lands, approved by provincial committee on nature protection; • cutting trees in the buffer line railway track, which should be approved by provincial committees for nature protection in a fixed legislative order with indicating compensation amounts (in accordance with Resolution of Cabinet of Ministries of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 290 dated 20.10.2014);
11
48. Since construction works have not been completed, re-cultivation plan of disturbed lands have not been developed yet. UTY plans to monitor implementation of this measure at the later stages of the project. 49. Situation with permission for cutting trees was described in previous chapter. In case of identification non accounted trees during joint examination of the project route by UTY’s environmental specialist and representative of Goskomekologiya, the necessary payment will be paid in accordance with national legislation. 50. The route passes mostly through agricultural lands and some parts of residential area (Kizil Ravat village in Uychi district and Yoshlik village district), which requires land acquisition and resettlement activities. As per national regulation, RoW for new alignment may vary from 12 meters up to 25 meters1. The width of ROW depends on technological specification of particular part of railway and soil conditions.

51. As per national Environmental Assessment and calculations conducted within IEE preparation, noise level in the settlements located along to new 6,7 km will significantly increase. Taking in consideration, that baseline noise level varies from 41 up to 49 dB during the day time (standard is 55 dB), the implementation of mitigation measures is required for these settlements. Based on the results of noise modelling, installation of acoustic screens and greening in buffer zone between railway and houses were recommended in IEE (Table 12, IEE (2018)). In this report the results of noise level calculation are presented in Table 2. 52. As shown in the table, for P1-P5 (Figure 4) noise level will not exceed standard – 55 dB because running railway in cutting. For P7-P8 the anticipated noise level will exceed standard on 1-2 dB. In accordance with national regulations2, greening of area adjusted to railway also can serve as a sound consumption barrier. A green stripe width of 10 meters can reduce noise level up to 5 dB. Therefore, implementation of greenings of the area adjusted to railway for the rest receptors will decrease noise level until acceptable 55 dB.

53. In accordance with modelling (which was done for surface railway alignment), after project commissioning equivalent noise level will reach 66,7 dB (standards 55 dB). However, the current design of railway alignment considers construction of gallery type, which means that section A-B of railway (Figure 5) will be underground. It means, that noise level will significantly decrease. The only entrance into gallery may generate noise level, which may exceed standards. However, to reduce expected noise level at the entrance point into the gallery, it was decided to install monolithic fence instead lattice fence which is usually used for safety purposes. Therefore, noise level at this site will comply with standards. 54. In term of vibration, which will also increase comparing with existing zero baseline, using of special seals for rails, thickness of the embankment should ensure acceptable level of vibration. In general, monitoring of noise level will be undertaken during project operation phase and additional mitigation measures will be implemented as requested.
Figure 5: Section A-B of 6,7 km with gallery type of alignment 55. Installation of acoustic screens for the part of railway countered in blue in the Figure 6 is included in the detail design. The length of the barriers will be not less than 200 meters (both sides of railway – total 400 meters). A distance between barriers and railway (noise source) should be 6 meters. For the remaining locations - P3 and gas station greening as mitigation measure is included in the design.

56. During conduction Public Consultation within IEE, inhabitants from Kizil Ravat raised the concern about quality of roads which will be used for construction of the alignment. Currently designs of 12 temporary by-pass roads were developed in order to avoid deterioration of roads used by community. Currently for all these roads necessary documentation for temporary land acquisition and compensation payment are being prepared. All compensation payments for bypasses will be completed before construction launching. 57. During a visit of ADB’s mission to the project site in June 2017, necessity in conduction additional public consultation in the project area, particularly with citizens in Kizil Ravat whose houses will remain along railway after project implementation were highlighted. To follow up these comments, UTY environmental specialist conducted several meetings with inhabitants from Kizil Ravat and Uychi. More information conducted Public Consultation is presented in Chapter 5 of this report “Information disclosure”. 58. CAP also stated on necessity to establish effective GRM at the project level. The mechanism already has been established at the 6,7 km bypass. More information is provided in Chapter 6.
4.1.2. Construction of third floor in Andijan-1 Depot 59. During environmental audit of Andijan-1 depot, oil spills were observed on the railway track. The special plan on oil management is being developed by Andijan-1 depot engineers.
4.2. Environmental Monitoring 60. CAP also states on necessity to conduct an environmental monitoring of air quality in residential areas and water quality during construction period. With this purposes, UTY has concluded agreement with Central sanitarian epidemiological station (SES) under the UTY on conduction baseline measurements and continuously environmental monitoring of air, water quality and noise level in the Kizil Ravat and Yoshlik villages. Kokand branch of SES will implement this monitoring.

5. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION 63. During preparation of IEE, number of consultations were held in the project provinces to introduce project inhabitants with the project, main anticipating impacts on environment and proposing mitigation measures. In addition, GRM was discussed with people. During the meeting information flyer with brief information about the project, GRM procedure and contact information were distributed among participants. 64. Additional set of meetings were conducted by UTY’s environmental specialist during 26-28 September in Kizil Ravat and Yoshlik villages. Representatives of households located next to the proposing railway alignment and makhalla’s leaders were consulted on the project. Some questions raised by citizens were related to such environmental impacts as noise during operation and dust during construction periods. UTY’s environmental specialist provided information about planning mitigation measures on noise and dust control, environmental monitoring program and GRM functioning. 65. UTY’s environmental specialist shared with consulted people with office and personal phone numbers in order to keep feedback.
6. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 66. In accordance with ADB SPS (2009), Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) should be established after the project effectivity. The IEE (August, 2017) provides details description of GRM mechanism within the project.
18
67. From UTY side more than 15 logbooks for registration complaints will be placed in each railway station at the direction Pap-Namangan-Andijan. Additional two books will be placed in Kizil Ravat and Yoshlik villages. The format of logbook was discussed with ADB consultants. It is agreed that all types of complaints (verbal, written, electronic, by phone) will be registered in logbook and drawn up in proper way. The next environmental monitoring reports will provide information on received complaints and how they were resolved. 68. UTY’s environmental specialist keeps in touch with local authority in Uychi and Uchkurgan districts (makhalla committees), land cadaster and khokimiyats. For the reporting period complaints related to the environmental issues were not received. All received appeals were related to land acquisition and compensation payment issues.
