SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1. PUNJAB CITIES GOVERANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PCGIP)

Government of the Punjab with the financial assistance from World Bank is implementing Punjab Cities Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP). The project is focused at strengthening of systems and governance improvement for enhanced service delivery and being implemented in five large cities (Lahore, Faisalabad, , Gujranwala, and Rawalpindi).

The project development objectives are to:  Support the Province of Punjab’s cities in strengthening systems for improved planning, resource management, and accountability  Improve the capacity to respond promptly and effectively to Crisis or Emergency. The objective of the PCGIP is to support Punjab’s large cities in strengthening institutional frameworks and developing systems for improved urban planning, expenditure and accountability and to capacitate these cities to improve delivery of municipal services in a medium to long term on a more sustainable basis. The Project has a number of financial, social, economic and environmental benefits, including institutional development, rehabilitation and improvement of municipal services, better quality of life and employment generation. In addition a large number of secondary benefits are also likely to accrue in the medium to long term such as institutional reforms at local level.

1.2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ESMF)

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) serves as a guiding document to address the social and environmental issues during projects implementation covering following phases at: Planning and design, Construction and rehabilitation, Operation and maintenance, Decommissioning and closure phases. Overall objectives of ESMF is to  Ensure that schemes to be designed and implemented by the Government are environmentally sound and socially acceptable.  Ensure that all the schemes comply with the national regulatory and WB policy frameworks.  Internalize and integrate the environmental and social management procedures and processes in the routine projects/operations/service delivery of CDG’s and city entities.

The Urban Unit Page 1

Environment & Social Management Plan (ESMP)

Screening will be first step of the environmental and social management procedure. Each scheme during its preparation stage will be screened with respect to environmental and social considerations. The Safeguards Specialist will be responsible to carry out this screening. The screening criteria are presented below.

1.3. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SCREENING OF SCHEMES

Environmental Categories: Depending on size, cost, location and the nature, scheme will have varying impacts on city environment. The rigorousness of environmental assessment requires identifying and mitigating the impacts, largely dependent upon the complexities of scheme. To facilitate effective screening, schemes are categorized into three categories viz. E-1, E-2 and E-3.

(i) E-1 schemes are those wherein major environmental impacts are foreseen;

(ii) E-2 schemes are expected to have only moderate environmental impacts; and

(iii) E-3 schemes are the schemes with negligible environmental impacts and hence, these can be termed as “environmentally benign”.

Since PCGIP funds are exclusive for operation and maintenance and rehabilitation schemes, schemes falling under E-1 category shall not be funded. Social Categories: Based on the number of households that may be affected by the scheme, i.e. Affected Households (AHs) and magnitude of impacts, schemes are categorized as S-1, S-2 and S-3.

(i) S-1 schemes are those schemes that will impact more than 40 households, and are expected to have significant negative social consequences;

(ii) S-2 schemes are those which will impact less than 40 households and are expected to have significant social consequences affecting local inhabitants;

(iii) S-3 schemes are not expected to have any significant adverse social impacts;

Since PCGIP funds are exclusively allocated for operation and maintenance and rehabilitation schemes, thus schemes falling under S-1 and S-2 categories shall not be funded through the project

1.4. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP)

The type of environmental and social assessment requirements for each scheme will be determined according to the following criteria:

• Schemes having E1 and S1 categories : full EIA 1(or ESIA 2) will need to be conducted for each individual scheme. In addition, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be prepared for each scheme with S1 category.

1 Environmental Impact Assessment 2 Environmental and Social Impact Assessment

The Urban Unit Page 2

Environment & Social Management Plan (ESMP)

• Schemes having E2 and S2 categories : Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) will be prepared for each individual scheme. In addition, an Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan will be prepared for each scheme with S2 category. • Schemes having E3 and S3 categories : no further assessment is needed. ESMPs preparation: For each scheme with E2 category, ESMP will be prepared by the Safeguards Specialist at the CDG 3 level. The ESMP preparation will be an integral part of the scheme preparation/appraisal process, and ESMP will be an integral part of the scheme documentation. The ESMP will include details of the works to be carried out under the scheme, the site-specific environmental and social information (baseline), and site-specific and scheme-specific mitigation measures. The ESMPs will be reviewed and cleared by the DO (Environment) of the respective City. ESMP Implementation During the scheme implementation, the mitigation and monitoring measures included in the ESMP will need to be implemented. The ESMP will be included in the bidding documents (if the scheme is to be contracted out), and hence it will be included in the contractor’s scope of works/services. Similarly, if the scheme is to be implemented by the concerned department itself, the ESMP will be included in the scope of work/services. The ESMP cost will be included in the scheme implementation cost. Environmental and social monitoring will also be carried out to ensure effective implementation of the ESMP. First tier of monitoring will be conducted along with the monitoring of the works being carried out under the scheme. At the second tier, the Safeguards Specialist will carry out spot checks to ensure ESMP implementation. Checklists prepared on the basis of mitigation measures proposed in the ESMP will be used for this purpose. Photographic record will also be maintained for this purpose. For each scheme with E-2 category 4as per ESMF document, ESMP prepared by the Environment & Social Safeguard Specialist at the CDG level to ensure ESMF implementation at City level. The ESMP preparation is an integral part of the scheme preparation/appraisal process, and ESMP will be an integral part of the scheme contract documentation. The ESMP include details of the works to be carried out under the scheme, the site-specific environmental and social information (baseline) and site-specific and scheme-specific mitigation measures and ESMP cost estimation.

3.4. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT OF CITY

3.4.1 Air Quality

Lahore is the second largest or the heart of Pakistan is suffering with severe air pollution. The current population of City is more than 5 million. Bajwa (2004) 7 alarmed the permanent deteriorating conditions of air pollution in Lahore made environment vulnerable. It is highlighted in Asian Development Bank Report (2003) where serious condition exists in various parts of Lahore.

Air pollution and unchecked vehicular emission causes deadly effects on human health. About 2 % of total deaths occur due to air pollution in Lahore. This report also mentioned that 22,700 people die because of increase in urban air pollution.

EPD 18 also showed that Lead (Pb) in the blood of people found living in congested areas of Lahore. Due to population expansion, far industries now come under the boundary of Lahore. Moreover, clean drinking water is inadequate in Lahore and mostly people have no access to clean drinking water due to due to poor sewerage systems at various parts of Lahore (Taha 2010) 19 . In addition, Lahore is also facing

an extensive winter fog lasting for 2-3 weeks analyzed in the past few years causing enormous economic loss, health problems like respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

3.4.2 Noise

In Lahore city, the noise pollution is very common due to the vehicle horns, low maintenance quality etc. Especially the people near the busy road crossings are very much affected due the traffic noise. The vehicles emission represents the greatest source of noise and dust pollution in Lahore. There are 19, 44,709 approximately vehicles on the roads of the Lahore 20 .

A distractive feature of the Lahore Metropolitan City’s vehicle population in trucks, buses, vans, three wheel vehicles which are mostly driven by two stroke engines. Four road crossings were selected to monitor the dust and noise levels i.e. Club Chowk Model Town, YateemKhanaChowk, QurtbaChowk and YadgarChowk . Club chowk Model Town was less polluted as compare to other three road crossings in terms of noise and dust pollution. 21

In Lahore, as in most other cities, vehicular pollution is the main culprit for air and noise pollution. The vehicle boom has spelt doom for the city. The road space being limited, the growing number of vehicles forces low gear driving, pushing up the pollutant levels to an undesirable limit. The absence of a strong public transport system, failure of pollution control norms, poor quality of fuel and ignorance of vehicle maintenance all have contributed to the environmental mess(Computerized Monitoring of Noise & Dust Levels at Different Road Crossings of Lahore).

3.4.3 Soil Morphology

The city of Lahore lies on extremely flat land. The highest point within city is about 700 ft above sea level. In the south-west, abutting the actual flood plain of Ravi river, the land falls to 682 ft. Gradients are extremely flat and falls of only 0.3 to 0.4 m per Km* are experienced in many areas of the city.

The soils underlying this area are alluvial in nature, consisting of silts and sands with lenses of clay. The bearing capacity varies, a minimum allowable bearing pressure of 80 Km/ sq.m (0.75 tons/ sq. ft)* can be safely assumed. Due to rich surface irrigation, the fertile soils of the floodplains give a good per unit yield. 22

3.4.4 Climate

The in general is the healthy one, but has large variations. Dry heat at the height of summer in May and June is followed by humid and sultry weather in July to September. The pleasantly

3.4.5 Water Resources and its Quality

The only source of water supply to the inhabitants of mega city of Lahore for domestic as well as industrial purposes is ground water which is of the order of 1300 cusecs as estimated above. Although, the aquifer under Lahore is a part of the huge groundwater reservoir underlying the Indus Plain, extensive groundwater withdrawal has formed a trough in groundwater levels which is gradually expanding. The watertable, which was about 5 m deep in 1960, has declined now to more than 40 m in central part of the city due to over abstraction of groundwater by public and private tubewells and reduction of recharge. Lahore aquifer is under stress, regulation and monitoring of quality and quantity of groundwater pumped and disposed off is the need of the day for assuring sustainability of this precious resources ( Basharat & Rizvi, 2011) 24 .

significant environmental impacts has been envisaged, however mitigation measures have been recommended against less significant environmental concerns. This scheme is environmentally sound & sustainable.

3.7. Flora & Fauna Preservation of biodiversity is of global concern, but the causes of loss and their solutions are very often local in scale. Road development continues to be a major player in the overall reduction of biodiversity, and properplanning at the project level can go a long way in limiting the loss, while still serving the transportneed. No wild animal/endangered species is found in the area except pet animals. No flora & fauna will be affected due to project construction activities
