Executive Summary

The Local Government Enhancement Sector Project (LGESP) was approved by ADB on 29 September 2011 with an amount of $ 59 million equivalent from ADB’s Special Fund Resources. The loan became effective on 27 November 2011 and the loan closing date is 10 January 2018. State Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Government (SMPCLG) (formerly Ministry of Provincial Council and Local Government (MPCLG)) is the executing agency which implemented the project through Project Management Unit (PMU), and subproject coordination units (SPCU) established in each provincial council (total seven) to supervise and coordinate and project implementation. LGESP has been supporting local infrastructure improvement and basic service delivery in less-developed areas in seven provinces (excluding the Northern and Eastern Provinces), based on a bottom-up, demand-driven approach. The project was performing well under the original loan, therefore ADB approved an additional financing loan in year 2016.

Impact of the project will be strengthening the financial and technical capacities of the local authorities of these seven provinces. The outcome will be improved local infrastructure and services delivered effectively by local authorities or NWSDB in less-developed areas of seven provinces in Sri Lanka. The additional financing loan has three outputs.

Output 1: Water supply systems in CKD-affected areas improved. Output 2: Local infrastructure and basic service delivery improved. Output 3: Local government policy reform advanced and capacity strengthened.

Institutional mechanism for Environmental Safeguards is adequate with officials of safeguard monitoring available at all tiers of project management like PMU, SPCU and supported by consultants.

IEEs of all subprojects submitted to ADB are approved and disclosed in ADB and Puraneguma websites. DDRs of all subprojects are also approved and disclosed in both web sites.

The required statutory clearances have been obtained for all sub-projects presently under construction as detailed in the main report.

Loan Covenants related to Environmental Safeguards are being complied regularly.

Environmental Management Plan is being monitored regularly through SESMS (a software developed by ADB) and regularly reported.

This semiannual report on Environment Safeguard discusses the overall physical progress with environmental compliance status of Category “B” sub projects for which IEEs have been prepared as per ADB SPS 2009 coming under Output 01. In addition, status of physical progress of Category “C” sub projects, coming under Output 02 has also been annexed. Physical progress of both Outputs is as on 31st December 2020.

Progress of sub-projects which are under construction are discussed in the report. There were no environmental issues in the sub projects which are completed. One sub project of output 01 is under pre-construction phase and its physical progress is not significant to report as it is still under bidding process. (Appendix 02).Overall summary of physical progress of category “B” sub projects is given in table 01. Appendix 01 gives the status of ADB approval of all IEE reports.

Appendix 04 and 05 give two examples of a selected sub project showing a completed Mitigation Compliance Report in the SESM system for the month of December 2020 and its related computer generated report where compliance status of mitigatory measures and further actions on improvement of mitigation measures have been given.

During this reporting period, it had been noticed that there has been reasonable compliance to Covid 19 guidelines and workers too seem to be adopted to new normal situation.

In conclusion, it can be mentioned that both environmental and health risks have been controlled in all subprojects, by taking the required mitigation measures, as and when required and as specified in the EMP.

The environmental safeguard compliance during the reporting period and cumulative basis can be said to be satisfactory.

Semi-Annual Environmental Safeguards Monitoring Report (For period H2 2020 01 July 2020 to 31 December 2020)

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background

The Local Government Enhancement Sector Project (LGESP) was approved by ADB on 29 September 2011 with an amount of $59 million equivalent from ADB’s Special Fund Resources. This project was envisaged to improve the effective delivery of local infrastructure and services in selected LAs in less-developed areas of Sri Lanka. Under the project, 108 Local Authorities have been selected in seven provinces (excluding the Northern and Eastern provinces), whose reform plans are reviewed and confirmed by the government, will implement subprojects such as roads and bridges, water supply and sanitation, drainage, solid waste management, and other basic facilities, including buildings or enhancing health-care centers and public markets. The loan became effective on 27 November 2011. State Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Government) (formerly known as Ministry of Provincial Council and Local Government (MPCLG)) is the executing agency and functioned through Project Management Unit (PMU) established in Colombo and subproject coordination unit (SPCU) established in each provincial council (total seven) to supervise and coordinate and project implementation. LGESP has been supporting local infrastructure improvement and basic service delivery in less-developed areas in seven provinces based on a bottom-up, demand-driven approach. The original loan was closed on 10 January 2018. Based on the performance of the original project, ADB agreed to provide an additional finance to the scale up the well performing project and to include; (i) improvement of water supply systems in areas affected by chronic kidney diseases (CKD); (ii) improvement of local infrastructure and basic services delivery; and (iii) advancing policy reform of PS and strengthening their capacity.

Impact and Outcome. Strengthened financial and technical capacity of the local authorities in less-developed areas within the selected seven provinces is the expected impact of the project. Improved local infrastructure and services delivered effectively by local authorities or National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) in less-developed areas in these seven provinces will be the outcome of the project.

1.2. Description of the components:

The additional financing has three outputs as follows;1

Output 1: Water supply systems in CKD-affected areas improved. The additional financing will finance development and expansion of water supply systems in CKD-affected areas in the four provinces (Central, North Central, North Western, and Uva) to provide safe drinking water. The schemes include development of new water supply systems and expansion of existing systems, mostly run by NWSDB. Facilities such as raw water intakes, water treatment plants, overhead tanks, and transmission and distribution networks are eligible for financing. About 30 schemes will be developed or expanded, and will be implemented by respective provincial councils with technical inputs and supervision support from NWSDB. Considering the nature and

1 ADB (September 2016), Report and recommendation of the president to the board of directors, Proposed Loan for Additional Financing Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka: Local Government Enhancement Sector Project 8 complexity of the schemes, the piped-network will be operated by NWSDB, except in local authorities which have adequate operational capacity. If local authorities are identified to be the appropriate entity to implement the subprojects, such local authorities will first have to submit a reform plan, as practiced in the original project, prior to the subproject implementation. PMU, through design and supervision consultants (DSCs), will provide capacity augmentation for construction supervision, when the resources available from NWSDB are insufficient.

Output 2: Local infrastructure and basic service delivery improved. Social and economic infrastructure will be improved by newly participating local authorities. The approach will remain the same: 29 new Pradeshiya Sabhas from five provinces (Central, North Western, Southern, Uva, and Western) which have not been supported under the LGIIP and LGESP will first have to submit a reform plan approved through a council resolution, which will be reviewed and confirmed by the Ministerial Committee of MPCLG to ensure that the minimum reform requirements are met. Then they will be qualified for the provision of a capital grant for infrastructure improvement. Eligible subprojects include (i) environmental infrastructure, (ii) economic infrastructure, (iii) public health infrastructure, and (iv) other local authority facilities. PMU, through DSCs, will support preparation of design and ensure the quality of the work. For both outputs 1 and 2, only the subprojects that meet the subproject selection criteria will be implemented.

Output 3: Local government policy reform advanced and capacity strengthened. The additional financing will support establishment of IT solutions, which were developed under the original project and installed in the original 108 PradeshiyaSabhas, in 29 new PradeshiyaSabhas, and further advance business process reengineering in both original and new PradeshiyaSabhas. The activities will include (i) implementation support of the guidelines developed under the Capacity Development TA (CDTA), (ii) development and installation of additional software to simplify and increase efficiency of local administration, and (iii) capacity building programs to strengthen technical, financial, and administrative capacity of the original and new PradeshiyaSabhas, provincial councils, and SMPCLG.

1.3. Screening and categorization of the sub-projects.

The sector project is classified as environmental category B project where the impacts are manageable through implementation of a well-developed environment management and monitoring plan. The subproject does not fall within the “prescribed list” of projects that needs to undergo the environmental impact assessment process under the national environmental act and ADB’s SPS 2009.

1.4. Details of site personnel and/or consultants responsible for environmental monitoring.

The project has an “Environment and Social Safeguard Manager (PMU)” at central level i.e. the Project Management Unit and at the provincial level, each province Subproject Coordination Unit (SPCU), a Reform & Safeguard Manager (Social, Environmental and Gender) will look after the Environmental Safeguard issues. These officers in the project are supported by the “Environment Safeguard Expert” of the Project Management Consultants at National level and “Safeguard Expert (Environment)” of the Design and Supervision Consultants at Provincial Level who are hired during the design period.

1.5. Locations of Sub-projects The following map shows the locations of sub projects coming under category B and C. Table 01 and appendix 06 give list of Category B and C sub projects respectively.

4. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLAN

All the contracts of output 02 which have commenced to date / completed are simple small value buildings (costs ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 Mn USD) with no adverse environmental impacts and water supply contracts as in output 01 which include mainly pipe laying have no significant adverse environmental impacts. However, Environmental Management Plans are prepared for each subproject and are monitored by the PMU and SPCU safeguard Managers with the support of consultants (PMC and DSCs) on a regular basis as explained in earlier sections. The completed mitigation compliance format for a particular site is given at Appendix 4 and its related computer generated report is given at Appendix 5.

5. OVERALL COMPLIANCE WITH EMP

No Sub Sub Project EMP being Status of Action proposed Project Contract implemented implementation and additional Name Documents(Y/N) (Y/N) (Excellent/ measures required Satisfactory/partially Satisfactory/Below Satisfactory) 1 All the All bidding/contract Yes Satisfactory Whenever a projects documents contain shortcoming is found in EMPs. respect of compliance to mitigation, the contractor has been advised to adopt suitable mitigation measures within a possible time period.

6. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING OF THE PROJECT.

Following is the Methodology adopted:

At design stage, all statutory clearances and procedures required for environmental safeguards are identified and obtained. At construction stage, a regular inspection is carried out by the PMU and SPCU safeguard Managers and project consultants to ensure that the environmental safeguard measures in general and the activities / measures mentioned in the EMP of the contracts in particular are implemented / complied. Corrective measures where necessary are being advised and remedial actions ensured regularly.

Environment Safeguard Managers of SPCU would monitor the progress of safeguard activities monthly using the computer-based Site-Specific Environmental Safeguards Monitoring System. (SESMS) introduced by ADB to monitor Category B sub projects. SESMS has been developed to assess the significance of sorted environmental issues screening through a risk matrix. SESMS will generate the Mitigation Compliance Report (MCR) for each month, when the current complied status of mitigation measures together with related scores are inserted. Monthly report so generated will give outstanding issues on priority basis to be attended.

Appendix 04 shows a sample Mitigation Compliance Report generated in the SESM System to record compliance status for a particular month by the Envt Safeguard Manager.

Environmental Safeguard Manager of PMU will oversee the monitoring process in all provinces under the advice and guidance of PMC’s safeguard expert. The Envt Safeguard Mangers of SPCUs were given necessary training on SESMS.

7. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLAN.

7.1. Monitoring of Environmental Impacts on project surroundings.

The sub projects classified under environment category B (as per ADB SPS 2009) are not large-scale projects. The environmental impact is therefore not spread over a wider extent around the project area. However, by taking mitigation and preventive measures, as specified in the EMP, causes for environmental risks are minimized.

Operations of excavators and earth moving machines which create noise were limited to being operated only during the daytime to minimize the disturbance to the neighboring community. Heavy machineries such as excavators used, were limited to maximum of two numbers at every project site and all machineries were found to have been undergone emission testing and therefore impact on the surrounding air quality was insignificant. Rocks encountered during excavation of trenches were blasted under extreme care with due permissions from relevant authorities and controlled blasting by undertaking every safety precaution to avoid any damage to nearby structures, workers and public.

In many project sites, pipeline alignment was changed to save big trees. In some project sites, where it was possible to shift the lines, a few trees have to be removed to cut trenches for pipe laying. In all such cases, planting of suitable tree species at 1:4 ratio were undertaken to compensate the plantation for the trees removed. In addition, contractors have also been encouraged to plant suitable trees even if no trees uprooted due to construction activities. Following table gives the summary of trees removed and replanted.

Outstanding issues related to environment safeguards were prioritized using SESMS monthly progress reports and more attention was given to resolve them. Prioritized issues were discussed thoroughly with the project manager or site supervisor and necessary advice was

30 given to them with a time target to correct immediately. Instructions related to safeguard issues were recorded in log books maintained in the site too, so that site supervisor could easily attend to the same.

As an example, December 2020 report of NWP-AF-WS-CKD-14A generated by SESM System is given in the Appendix 5. This report gives overall performance of mitigation measures against monitoring parameters, status of corrective action and further action to be taken with deadlines etc. Due to Covid 19 pandemic related lockdown countrywide, all construction sites were closed from around fourth week of March to fourth week May 2020 during which period, there was no physical progress at all project sites. After May 2020, work in all construction sites commenced with limited labour, keeping in compliance to the Covid 19 related advices / guidelines issued from Government from time to time. During this reporting period, it had been noticed that every site had been complied with Covid 19 guidelines and workers were too seemed to be adopted to new normal situation.

7.2 Public Complaints. / Grievance Redressal An effective ADB approved project-specific three tier Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is in place for timely hearings and facilitate solutions. The Grievance Redress Mechanism of the project is also disclosed on project website www.puraneguma.lk. The list of grievances recorded and attended is provided regularly in the quarterly progress reports. The Grievances Redressal Status Summary Report for the reporting period is attached to this report as Appendix 03.

Complaints received or anomalies noticed were attended without long delays and corrective measures were taken. No grievance was recorded from sub projects of component 01 and only one grievance of package no WP-AF-HOM-06 (Construction of public market and car park with a toilet block at Homagama town for Homagama PS) of component 02 in western province was recorded during this reporting period. The issue was the blocking of entrance to the market. This issue was resolved with the complainers to their satisfaction. No Grievances reported during the reporting period in the other provinces.

7.3 Examples of good practices, non-compliance notices and corrective plans.

Mitigation measures listed in EMP are implemented by the contractor. There were a few noncompliance issues that needed special attention and issuing of notices to the contractor. This section illustrates some of the good practices and major noncompliance issues that occurred during the reporting period. Examples of corrective plans/ instructions given by Envt. Safeguard Manger and measures taken by contractor are also discussed in this section. The issues are presented subproject wise with samples from log notes, and photographs etc.

8. MITIGATION MEASURES FOR PREVENTION OF COVID 19. With the outbreak of COVID 19 Pandemic (second wave) construction activities of the LGESP (AF) were considerably reduced during the reporting period with compliance to guidelines and precautionary measures applied by the Ministry of Health and the same guidelines circulated by the PMU. Appendix 07 and 08 give status report on mitigation measures against COVID 19 and guidelines circulated by the PMU to resume office work and construction activities after lifting lockdown (curfew) imposed because of COVID-19 respectively. The following actions have been advised at the construction sites of LGESP (AF) that resumed constructions.  Reduce access to the site (Only essential visitors (workers, supervisors, and managers) were allowed on site))  Plan the work and activities to reduce close contact  Increase the overall level of hygiene of the site (hand washing) - all staff will sanitize themselves at the entrance, frequently during work and while going.  Prioritize health and safety of staff, workers, and their surrounding communities  Increase awareness of the workforce on COVID 19 guidelines.  Regular check of temperature. Unfortunately, a death case was reported on 9th December 2020 at around 5.30 pm at the subproject site of Haburugala Sub Office, Ayurvedha, Library, and Conference Hall for Bentota Pradeshiya Sabah (SP-AF-BEN 10) in Southern Province. The worker had fallen on the ground while taking the remaining steel bars to the storeroom. According to the eyewitnesses (co-workers of the subproject site), the incident was not an accident. The worker had been taken immediately taken to Balapitiya hospital for required medical treatment. It was reported that the person was brought dead to the hospital. As per the prevailing COVID 19 regulation, a PCR test had been performed on the body and found it was COVID 19 positive. Finally, the government cremated the dead body as per the prevailing COVID 19 regulation without handing it over to the relatives. Immediately the health inspectors of the area issued instructions to lock-down the subproject site and quarantined the other five workers who worked with the Corona victim. Apart from this incident, there had been no other COVID 19 cases reported.

9. SUMMARY OF KEY OUTSTANDING ISSUES.

Outstanding issues in the 1st half of the current year mainly consisted of issues related to occupational safety such as inadequate use of PPEs and inadequate and improper use of safety barriers specially at excavating trenches in ROWs. When these issues were revealed by the safeguard managers, prompt actions were taken to correct those and ensured safety of workers and public.

Outstanding issues of the reporting period in respect of each sub project that are under construction were recorded as given in Appendix 5. Outstanding issues are shown with an average score (from 0 to 5) indicating overall performance over last six months. Appendix 5 is only an example of a particular sub project generated in the SESMS. Key outstanding issues are summarized in the following table.

Whenever outstanding issues are observed in the site, safeguard managers give necessary advice to the contractor to rectify them. Issues noticed and advice given are also recorded in the log book maintained in the site office. The outstanding issues will be followed up continuously for rectification.

10. CONCLUSION Compliance status of proposed mitigation measures in the EMP were monitored during every site visit and corrective actions were taken to remedy outstanding issues. Monitoring status and actions taken against each sub project are summarized in the monitoring tables annexed to the report.

Compliance status of taking preventive measures recommended in the EMPs such as ensuring employees to be equipped with PPEs during construction works and placing safety signs boards and providing barricades in vulnerable locations to establish safety of workers and the community and mitigations for disposal of wastes generated were below the expected level in some contracting sites. Environment Safeguard Managers have coordinated corrective measures by providing necessary guidance and advices to the Project Managers and Site Supervisors to ensure the environmental safeguard including occupational and public safety. For every outstanding issue, time target was given to resolve the issue which was later closely monitored to ensure the issues was properly attended or not. It has been noticed that contractors have taken measures to resolve them.

Environment Safeguard Managers also discussed outstanding issues at every monthly progress review meeting by highlighting importance of taking migratory measures and preventive measures through the action plan adopted by the contractors.
