1. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. The Local Government Enhancement Sector Project (LGESP) is a key infrastructure initiative of the Government of Sri Lanka which aims to improve local infrastructure, and services delivered effectively by local authorities in less developed areas in Sri Lanka. Partnering with local authorities will implement subprojects in the areas of the improvement of roads and bridges, water supply and sanitation, drainage, solid waste management, and other basic facilities including health centers and public markets. Finance for these subprojects will be obtained as a loan from Asian Development Bank (ADB) through the Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Government. (MPCLG) along with Local Government funding. The ADB and Government have agreed on an Additional Financing component which will (i) Support implementation of water supply schemes in areas affected by chronic kidney diseases and enable the availability of safe drinking water to the vulnerable section of these areas; (ii) Support infrastructure delivery in additional Pradeshiya Sabhas; and (iii) Extend the support for capacity building initiatives under the project.

2. Panadura Pradeshiya Sabha has been established according to the Pradeshiya Sabhas Act (No. 15 of 1987) and is under the Western Provincial Council and Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Government. The key responsibilities include PS among others improvements of facilities for education, public health, commercial, recreational and other community regaining programs.

3. The Panadura Pradeshiya Sabha has their main administrative office at Wadduwa. The market complex situated in a land located at center of the Wadduwa town closer to the main office building. The current market building outdated and Panadura Pradeshiya Sabha is currently facing the problem of providing facilities for public due to lack of better working environment. Customers are being distracted from the unpleasant surrounding of the shopping complex. Therefore steps have been taken to construct a new two story market building. The total funding requirement envisaged for this project is 58 million. Physical work associated with subprojects will take place within existing government-owned locations.

B. Objective

4. The current public market which is belongs to Panadura PS is operating with lack of proper maintenance in an old, outdated building situated at Wadduwa. The vendors, consumers and the general public who use these facilities facing inconveniences due to unpleasant environment and limited facilities provided in a highly congested environment.

5. Therefore the key objective of the project is to construct a new market building as a means to provide an alternative business place for the traders who do their businesses in the existing market building and business spaces for accommodating the present needs of the different stakeholders.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Present Location and Environmental Status

6. The new building proposed to be built in a land belonged to Panadura Pradeshiya Sabha at Wadduwa. At present, two storied market building and the several extra single storey business stalls exist in an unorderly manner at the rear side of the main market building. The physical environment of the sub project falls within a localized area of Wadduwa in a small city situated within the Panadura DS division area. Panadura is one of the coastal cities of Kalutara district which is located approximately 40 km south of the city centre and lies on the Galle Colombo main road. Present condition of the market building the location map is reflected in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2. This has been justified the need for a new building with a better environment.

7. Wadduwa falls within the Kalutara district, Western Province and located within the wet zone with an annual rainfall of 2000 - 2800 mm precipitated during two monsoonal periods April - June and October - December. Temperature is almost constant throughout the year, the average being about 27.7 C. Average daily sunshine is 7.2 hours/day. Average wind velocity is 11.7 km/hr, with the strongest winds normally coming in June. Relative humidity is, on the average, 73% during the day and 90% at night.

8. Panadura DS Division consists several environmental sensitive areas, the subproject site is not adjacent or within the area of close proximity to any environmental sensitive area such as the (i) area administered by the Department of Wild Life Conservation, (ii) Department of Coast Conservation, Department of Forest, (iii) the area declared as low lying and flood protection under the SLLRDC Act, and (iv) No archeologically protected monument is located in close proximity.

9. The existing legislation and standards applicable for the designing projects in Sri Lanka are mainly based on the National Environmental Act (NEA). According to the provisions under the NEA No 47 of 1980 and the regulation on EIA which has been gazetted in 1993, and according to this sub project of building construction, does not require an EIA or IEE prior to implementation of the sub project.

10. All quarry operations and mining operations connected with the project will require a valid license issued by the Geological Survey and Mines Bureau (GSMB). All the discharging effluents and/or emissions shall be compliance with the standards recommended by the National Environmental Act (NEA).

B. Proposed Work

11. The proposed new market building will consist of two stories and the main components will be designed with adequate capacity for the traders and general public who engaged in their businesses at the market building. The area needed will be acquired by removing the existing old single story buildings in the rear side and the fish stalls.

12. There will be fifteen stalls in the ground floor spreading in an area of 419.4 m2 while eighteen stalls are planned to be constructed in the first floor within an area of 450 m2 including a passage. Attention is paid to adopting to the green building concept when designing the building, the land area will be managed so as to provide access to the turning point for the vehicles and necessary partitions will be arranged within the proposed building for ladies and gents toilet facilities including a proper waste water treatment system for sewer and the waste water generate from the fish stalls and a solar panel for energy conservation.

3. POSSIBLE IMPACT & MITIGATION

16. Environmental screening carried out as a part of this environmental due diligence exercise. Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) attached in Appendix 3 shows the impacts are not very significant and mitigation of possible construction time issues is possible with the preparing & executing of suitable Environmental Management Plan.

17. The main objectives of the Rapid Environmental Assessment and the due diligence screening to identify the direct and indirect impacts on the physical, biological and social or cultural heritage environment. REA includes worker’s health and safety risks associated with the proposed construction operations of the subproject, particularly issues related to accident prevention, dangerous working conditions, air pollution and soil/ground etc.

18. However, in consideration to the neighboring areas and the population distribution, findings of some anticipated impacts due to the subproject activities and their management measures can be discussed as follows;

I. Land use – The proposed building will be constructed in the existing built-up area and no new land will be used, that may create impacts. Further, the subproject area bounds existing roads at two sides with residence at one side showing need to minimize the impacts, during construction activity.

II. Ambient Air Quality – Construction activities will involve demolishing of the existing building, excavation works and movement of vehicles carrying construction materials…etc. This will result in limited fugitive emissions at site. Spraying of water during construction will reduce the dust fall to a great extent. However, proper coverage shall be provided at the boundary area of the subproject site as an environmental and safety precautionary measure before commencing the activities. Its recommends to obtain a baseline air quality measurement report (PM/TSS) for complaint base monitoring and evaluating the negative impacts of air quality while implementing the EMP at site.

III. Ambient Noise levels and traffic – During the construction phase, the sources of noise pollution will primarily be limited to building demolishing, movement of vehicles that transporting construction materials and equipment to the site. Since the project site is located within semi-urban, the neighbours may affect if increase noise levels. Use of low noise generating equipment and restriction of construction activity for limited period will further reduce the disturbance from noise pollution.

IV. Movement of traffic – May be more significant during peak traffic hours (it was observed some school children use this road in the morning and after the school) therefore proper traffic management plan shall be implemented in conformance to the road safety.

V. Waste collection and disposal facility- the system of appropriate collection and disposal of bio-degradable and non-biodegradable solid and liquid waste will be implemented in the subproject site. As per contract, existing unusable components

like building walls, roofs, old toilets, electrical equipment may be declared condemned after inspection and shall be disposed by the contractor to a site selected and informed by the Engineer, but with prior approval from the Employer. The useable materials after inspection shall be put to use with prior approval of Employer.

VI. Storage of materials – Due care and separate storage shall be arranged particularly for storage of construction materials, tools and equipment, paints, plumbing and electrical items...etc. During the handling of all the materials the workers should use Personal Protective Equipment.

VII. Health & safety of workers- During cleaning and construction time lot of dust may be generated. Contractor shall distribute dusk mask to all workers for ensure protection from dust. Necessary watering should be applied. Also, Helmet, gumboot, hand gloves, safety jackets and belt should be geared up accordingly. Health & safety awareness will be provided to contractor’s workers.

VIII. Demarcation of working area, prior planning for specific work area and dissemination of information through signage - Signage will be placed at specific location, which will show type and period of work. Also, work area will be demarcated before starting of the work.

IX. Co-ordination and co-operation - Considered necessary among the staff and workers particularly on following aspect: • Since the work has been proposed to be carried out inside the office areas, the contractor shall ensure that the regular functioning of the area not affected during the construction work. • The contractor shall execute the work with prior approval of the work sequence from the engineer. • During execution of work, materials will not be stacked in the common area and utmost care shall be taken by the contractor to avoid any inconvenience due to improper stacking of materials. If for any unavoidable situation, the materials have to be stacked for a short time, prior permission from engineer shall be obtained. • Office equipment will not be used by the contractor’s workers and for any kind of a related construction work.

4. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

19. Though the impacts are mostly insignificant the contractors have to follow environment management plan during all construction phases of the project to mitigate short-term impacts. The Environmental Management Plan and Environmental Monitoring Plan attached vide Appendix 4.
