Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project 1

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

1. Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is a project being implemented by

covenant loan assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB) and counterpart funding from

Government of Nepal (GoN). The goal of the project is to support Government of Nepal to

accelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction following the devastating earthquake of 25 April

2015 and the major aftershock of 12 May 2015. The project will support the rebuilding of

schools, roads, and district-level government buildings, and strengthen resilience to future

disasters.

2. EEAP, Loan 3260 for $200 M was approved on 24 June 2015, signed on 21 August

2015 and became effective on 10 September 2015 with the objective of supporting the GoN.

2. IMPACT AND OUTCOME

3. The impact of the project is accelerated economic and social recovery in Nepal’s earthquake affected districts. The outcome will be critical economic and social services

resumed with disaster-resilient infrastructure.

4. The project has following four outputs:

(i) Output 1: Schools are rebuilt and upgraded. At least 700 schools will be rebuilt or

retrofitted in line with school reconstruction plans to disaster-resilient standards and equipped

with water and sanitation facilities, including sex-disaggregated toilets. About five will be model

schools built with information and communication technology equipment, science laboratories,

and improved learning spaces. However, target has been reduced 154 school buildings (MTR,

October 2017).

(ii) Output 2: Roads and bridges are rehabilitated and/or reconstructed. About 135 km of

strategic roads and about 450 km of rural roads damaged by the earthquake and landslides

will be rehabilitated. Target for strategic and district roads has been reduced to 123.9 km and

525 km respectively (MTR, October 2017). Project roads and bridges will have built back

better features for road safety and climate resilience. Construction and maintenance

equipment will also be procured.

(iii) Output 3: District-level government facilities constructed and/or rebuilt. About 300

district-level government buildings will be rebuilt or retrofitted to disaster resilient standards

with basic utilities, and furnished. This target has been reduced to 123 buildings (MTR,

October 2017). Transitional district-level government offices will also be established to enable

services to continue throughout the reconstruction period.

(iv) Output 4: Disaster preparedness and management capacities strengthened. All

outputs are assured to be disaster risk resilient. Engineering divisions of all implementing

agencies will be strengthened.

5. The district roads components has received technical assistance grant from Swiss

Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Also, the scope of output 1 was increased

in December 2016 to include 15 additional schools to be rebuilt following the additional $ 10

million financing from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID – Grant

0529).

3. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS IN EEAP

6. An Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) was prepared in

accordance with ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009. Initial environmental examinations (IEEs) and environmental management plans (EMPs) were required for district and strategic

roads where as due diligence report (DDR) with EMP were required for school and office

building sub-projects along with incorporating EMP into bidding and contract documents to be

implemented by contractors.

7. The Central Level Project Implementation Units (CLPIUs) have been assisted by

Design and Supervision Consultants (DSCs) which will include Environment Specialists

engaged during project implementation. CLPIUs prepare environmental safeguard documents

for approved sub-projects which receive concurrence from ADB and approval from concerned

agencies of GoN. CLPIUs obtain all clearances and fulfill government requirements. The

District Level Project Implementation Units (DLPIUs) have a safeguards focal person who is

responsible for data required for safeguards plan preparation, monitoring and progress

reports, and coordination with relevant organizations like Ministry of Forest and Environment

(MoFE) to consult and/or obtain endorsement if necessary. CLPIUs and DLPIUs are supported

by DSCs/Central Implementation Support Consultant (CISC)/District Implementation Support

Consultants (DISCs).

4. OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD STATUS

8. The overall environmental safeguard status of EEAP in reference to its output is listed

below:

(i) Output 1- School Buildings: For school building sub-projects, DDRs with EMP preparation

have been completed.

(ii) Output 2a- District Roads: All IEE reports of 17 road sub-projects have been approved

from the Government of Nepal (GoN) and concurrence has been given by ADB.

(iii) Output 2b- Strategic Roads: IEE of all three roads sub-project namely, Dolakha-Singati

Road, Dhading –Gorkha Road and Pachakhal-Melamchi Road has been approved by the GoN

and ADB.

(iv) Output 3- Office buildings: For government office buildings, DDRs with EMP for the

sub-projects have been prepared.

5. SEMI-ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT

9. According to EARF, each CLPIUs with DSC support has to prepare and submit semi-

annual monitoring reports (SMRs) to ADB, one from January-June and other July-December

of each year by the 15th of next month.

10. This semi-annual environmental monitoring report no. 6 (January-June 2019) for EEAP

has been consolidated on the basis of SMR prepared by the concerned CLPIUs as given in

Part 1 for GMaLI (district roads), Part 2 for Project Directorate (staretegic roads), Part 3 for

CLPIU (Schools), and Part 4 for CLPIU (Office Buildings).

1. Background

Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is a project being implemented by loan

assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), technical assistance from Swiss Agency

for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and counterpart funding from Government of Nepal

(GoN). EEAP has been supporting GoN to accelerate recovery and reconstruction following

the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershock of 12 May 2015. The

project covers 12 affected districts in eastern, middle and western development region of

Nepal1.

The Project will restore and strengthen the resiliency of critical public and social infrastructure

and services and has four outputs; Output 1: Schools are rebuilt and upgraded, Output 2:

Roads and bridges are rehabilitated and/or reconstructed, Output 3: District-level government

facilities constructed and/or rebuilt, Output 4: Disaster preparedness and management

capacities strengthened.

Under Output 2, strategic roads and district roads damaged by the earthquake and landslides

are under rehabilitation. Project roads and bridges will have built back better features for road

safety and climate resilience. The initial target of district roads component was rehabilitation

and reconstruction of 450 km. A total of 25 potential road sub-projects (474.7 km) had been

identified for rehabilitation and reconstruction in 12 sub-projects districts under EEAP2.

However, 17 road sub-projects (325 km) has been prioritized for rehabilitation and

reconstruction due to budget constraint (please refer Figure 1 and 2 for project location).

National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) is executing agency for EEAP. NRA has established

Central Level Project Implementation Unit-Grant Management and Local Infrastructure

(CLPIU-GMaLI) in Kathmandu, headed by a project director to coordinate all project activities.

At the district level, project implementation will be the responsibility of the District Level Project

Implementation Unit-Grant Management and Local Infrastructure (DLPIU-GMaLI) of each

district. CLPIU/DLPIU (GMaLI) will be supported by District Implementation Support

Consultants (DISC) which is headed by District Team Leader, technical and social staff.

Overall back stopping support to the district will be provided by Central Implementation

Support Consultants (CISC).

1The 12 project districts are Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Kavrepalanchok, Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, Solukhumbu, Sindhuli, Gorkha, Lamjung, Chitwan

2. Environmental Safeguards in EEAP

EEAP falls in category B project according to ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. Also,

the road sub-projects of EEAP belong to District Road Core Network (DRCN) according to

Nepal Rural Road Standard (2055) first Revision, September 2012 of the Department of Local

Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DoLIDAR). Therefore, it is a legal

requirement to carry out Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) according to Working

Procedure relating with Environmental Impact Assessment for Reconstruction of the

Earthquake Affected Structures 2016.

Environmental assessment is essential to integrate environmental considerations into

development project in order to minimize negative environmental impacts. In this context, IEE

reports have been prepared for road sub-projects under EEAP to satisfy legal provision of

GoN and ADB’s environmental procedures.

During the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the road sub-projects, environmental monitoring

is an important tool to ensure the compliance of mitigation measures and implementation of

environmental management plan (EMP). Monthly, Quarterly and Semi-annual Environmental

Safeguard Monitoring Report have been prepared on the basis of report received from DISC

team and environmental field visit made by Environmental Safeguard Unit of CISC, EEAP.

3. Overall Environmental Safeguard Status

IEE reports of all 17 road sub-projects have been approved by GoN and have been duly

endorsed by ADB. 14 IEE reports are approved from NRA and 3 IEE reports Bysai-Jhaukhel-

Changu-Telkot-Bhattedanda-Nagarkot Road, Bhaktapur; Godamchour-Godabari-Badikhel-

Lelebhanjyang Road, Lalitpur and Khopasi-Dhungakharka-Chyamranbesi-Milche-Borang

Road, Kavrepalnchok) are approved by then Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local

Development).

Total 3 IEE reports (Devitar-Phulasipokhari Section of Devitar-Doramba-Paseban-Kolibagar

Road, Ramechhap; Okhaldunga-Rumjatar Road, Okhaldhunga and Pipal Bhanjyang-Haitar-

Netrakali Road, Sindhuli) were updated due to variation in forest area and trees to be removed

from forest area and re-approved from NRA. The tree cutting approval from cabinet has been

obtained for all required sub-projects except Kuntabesi-Nayagaun-Nagarkot Road Sub-

project, Kavre. Simultaneously, implementation of environmental management plan and

monitoring is ongoing. Please refer Annex 1 and Annex 2 for status of environmental

safeguards.

4. Construction Approach

EEAP applies National Competitive Bidding (NCB) approach for construction of road.

Contractors have been using equipment and human resources to execute the contract within

the stipulated deadline. Spoil disposal has been tried to balance with cutting and filling as far

as possible. There will be use of bio-engineering techniques with integrated use of vegetation,

simple civil engineering structures and proper water management systems for slope


January-June, 2019


protection. Overall, construction activities will follow the environment friendly approach as

much as possible.

5. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS

Environmental safeguard related project activities are in compliance with loan covenants as

regular follow up actions are being taken according to approved IEE report (Please refer

Annex 3 for details).

6. Compliance with Environmental Safeguard Measures

Total 21 NCB contract packages have been awarded in 17 road sub-projects (301.53 km) in

12 different districts. For better environmental safeguard compliance of the project,

implementation of EMP has been ongoing.

6.1. EMP Implementation Budget in Districts

IEE reports suggest that NRs. 31,213,538 (of which NRs. 27,429,538 is for EMP

implementation and NRs. 3,784,000 is for central level and third party monitoring) is required

for 17 road sub-projects; in addition to environmental management cost has been covered

under civil activities. NRA had allocated NRs. 8,680,000 under the heading “Environmental Management and Roadside Plantation in Upgrading and Reconstruction of Road” in current fiscal year (FY).

In addition, there is provisional sum of budget ranging from NRs. 300,000 to NRs. 350,000 in

BoQ for environment mitigation. Please refer Annex 4 for details about budget estimated for

the implementation of environmental management plan for all road sub-projects. Following is

summary of environmental compliances and details are given in Annex 5.

6.2. Orientation Program

a. Environmental Safeguard and Awareness

Environmental safeguard awareness training was conducted in different sub-project as

recommended by IEE report to raise the environmental conservation and awareness amongst

local people as well as to familiarize contractor, field staff and local community about

implementation of environmental management plan and its compliance. The participants were

CFUG members, members of women group, youth club, teacher, contractor and contractor’s staff & workers, field staff and local authorities etc. Till date, 26 events (1,421 participants) has

been conducted in 14 road sub-project of 10 districts, please refer Table 1 for detail. The

estimated budget (IEE) for conducting environment safeguard and awareness orientation is

NRs. 3,085,000.

6.3. Forestry Clearance

According to Forest Act, 2049 BS (1993) and Government of Nepal: Working Procedure to

Use National Forest Area for National Priority Projects, 2074 BS (2017), forestry clearance


January-June, 2019


has to be obtained from the GoN (cabinet) through Ministry of Forest and Environment

(MoFE), if the road sub-projects pass from the forest area.

Approved IEE reports of 17 road sub-projects show that total 15 road sub-projects pass

through 53 Community Forests (CFs), 4 Government Managed Forests (GMFs), 5 Leasehold

Forests (LHFs) and 2 Religious Forests (RFs). However, there is no tree loss from 3 CFs in

Garma-Nele-Bogal Road of Solukhumbu District and 4 LHFs of Pipal Bhanjyang-Haitar-

Netrakali Road of Sindhuli District. Field assessment by personnel of forest office shows that

13 road sub-projects passes through 49 CFs, 5 GMFs, 7 LHFs and 2 RFs with permanent loss

of 30.97 ha of forest area. However, Divisional Forest Office (DFO’s) tree cutting plan report

has sought for 40.38 ha land as forest (consideration of barren land as forest in Sunkhani-

Lamidanda-Kalinchowk section of Sunkhani Sangwa Road, Dolakha and overall agriculture,

barren and build up area also in Khurkhure (Highway)-Samitar-Thakurivanjyang Road of

Chitwan). These road sub-projects need to clear 1,322 trees and poles; 1,664 saplings and

3,279 seedlings. Therefore, tree cutting approval had to be sought for 1,322 trees and poles

only. However, tree cutting approval plan prepared by DFO specified to remove overall 5,960

vegetation (trees, poles, saplings & seedlings) from the forest. There is no tree loss from 2

CFs in Bhirkot-Sahare-Hawa Section of Bhirkot-Sahare-Hawa-Jiri Road of Dolakha District, 5

CFs in Haldebesi-Dhobi-Dhandebesi Road of Ramechhap and 4 LHFs of Pipal Bhanjyang-

Haitar-Netrakali Road of Sindhuli District. More than 80% trees and poles will be lost from CF,

with more than 80% of total affected forest land. Please refer Annex 6 and Figure 3 for

detail.

Tree cutting approval

from cabinet (cabinet

decision dated on 5th

August 2018) has been

obtained for 12 out of

13 required road sub-

projects of 10 districts

(except Kavre-

Kuntabesi-Nayagaun-

Nagarkot Road Sub-

project). On basis of

cabinet decision,

agreement had been

signed by CLPIU and

DoF on dated 4

September, 2018. The

agreement has been

forwarded to concerned

forest offices at district

level. Afterwards, tree

marking with hammer

seal was done before felling trees. Felled trees were sectioned, stacked and transported in

allocated place.

Box 1. Is obtaining Forestry Clearance is enough for tree cutting!!!

Approval of tree cutting plan from cabinet had opened the door for

carrying out reconstruction and rehabilitation activities in forest area.

All sub-projects collected “ban pesi” from DFO and tree cutting activities was initiated. However, field scenario for Shree Hari Siddhi

Religious Forest in Devitar – Phulasi pokhari Section of Devitar –

Doramba – Paseban – Kolibagar Road was different.

The forest was religiously untouched and cutting the tree from the

forest was key concern among local and forest user groups. There was

continuous coordination among forest personnel, project and local on

tree felling from forest. Despite of agreement to remove trees and

organize “Chhyama Pooja”, the process was not gaining momentum as team designated for tree cutting activities used to encounter

accident whenever they were mobilized. This could be totally co-

incidence but this coincidence had definitely caused in expiry of 2 “ban pesi” issued by DFO. Finally, tree feeling activities was successfully carried out by team, with different religious faith” and thus third ban pesi was utilized. However, 31 felled trees are witnessing the story and

nobody dares to collect the timber and firewood of felled trees.

This incidence has marked that religious belief are equally important

as governmental legal requirements

6.4. Plantation

a. Compensatory Plantation

According to approved IEE, there will be 3,624 tree loss from forest area and 4,039 from

private land. Therefore, compensatory plantation (CP) of 94,639 plants (90,600 in forest area

and 4,039 in private land) has been targeted against the loss of total 7,663 tree at the ratio of

1:25 plants in forest area (CF/GMF/LHF/RF) and 1:1 plants in private land with total estimated

cost of NRs. 16,014,538 in approved IEE (please refer Annex 7 for detail). However, the target

in forest area has been revised as per DFO’s official report in tree cutting approval plan. There is overall 64.46 % increment in compensatory plantation target in forest area; 58,400 plants

more than estimated in approved IEE report, please refer Figure 4 and Table 3 also. Area

wise, approximately 93.12 ha of plantation has to be done in forest area according to the

plantation norms of then Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation (MoFSC, 2070).

Box 2. Challenge for survival of road side plantation

Survival of roadside plantation is as challenging as planting itself.

All 5 DLPIU has made some collaboration for protecting trees.

Amongst DLPIU carrying roadside plantation, DLPIU-Lalitpur is a

step ahead in demonstrating a good practice for protecting

roadside plants.

DLPIU Lalitpur has planted just 77 trees in 2 road sub-project.

The overall facilitation was done by DISC-Lalitpur. “Continuous coordination and involvement of local stakeholder from seed

collection to plantation and protection through agreement had

internalized roadside plantation among locals”- Suraj Thapa, TL-

DISC. Direct/Indirect involvement of grade 9 and 10 students of

High School from planting to protecting is above the project’s target meeting activities; it has connected youngster to be a part

of nature conservation. Also, involvement of FUGs in roadside

plantation in another road is the hidden root for successful

survival of plants.


January-June, 2019


c. Plantation against Loss of Forest Area

According to section 10 (2) of Government of Nepal: Working Procedure to Use National

Forest Area for National Priority Projects, 2074 BS (2017), project has to carry out plantation

equivalent to forest area lost at the rate of 1600 plants/ha and protect it for five years.

Therefore, 64,608 plants have to be planted for the loss of 40.38 ha forest area, with additional

cost of NRs. 10,906,527.52, please refer Annex 4 for detail on sub-project wise. However,

there is nil achievement till date.

6.5. Slope Stabilization and Bioengineering Activities

Unstable slopes area has been identified in IEE as well as detail design report and total NRs.

47,800,469 have been estimated for bioengineering activities on actual cost estimate basis.

Total 1,290.00 m3 retaining wall, 2,143.00 m3 gabion breast walls, 2,554.56 m3 gabion/dry toe-

wall 84.16 m3 masonry breast walls has been constructed to control landslide and erosion.

contractors have rented local house for labours in camps. Workers use kerosene, LPG as well

as firewood for cooking.

6.7. Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational health and safety measures have been partially followed. Workers have been

provided with safety gears like helmet, facemasks, jackets etc. in most of the districts.

However, these items are in limited quantity and not sufficient for all the workers in few

districts. They need to be educated about the importance and use of safety gears. Group

accidental insurance has been done for all the workers in all the project districts. Two injuries

and 1 casualty (non-working hours) have been reported so far. Please refer Annex 5 for detail.

6.8. Signboard Placing

Total 68 signboards at various places along the road with project information and safety has

NRs. 2,160,000 budget has been allocated for informative, safety and environmental

awareness signboards.

6.9. Spoil Management

Spoil disposal sites have been identified and provision of toe walls are given in the detail

project design report. Spoils are being managed in specified disposal sites as far as possible.

Nearly, 1,482,537.66 m3 of spoil has been reported to be managed safely. So far, toe walls

with volume of 2,620.21 m3 have been constructed to manage spoil. Template of spoil

management plan has been prepared and circulated to all districts, please refer Annex 8.

6.10. Grievances Received and Addressed

GRM mechanism has been established in all sub-projects. So far, 1,540 grievances have been

reported, 1,369 solved and 171 are under process. Most of the grievances are related to

missing plots, mismatch in name, area etc.

6.11. EMP Implementation, Monitoring, Reporting and Field Visit

Environmental monitoring format has been sent to districts as given in Annex 9.

Environmental monitoring is also done by the CISC team during field visits. A sum of NRs.

3,784,000 budget has been allocated for monitoring activities. Following Table 6 gives the list

of sub-projects visited by CISC environmental team on chronological order.

7. ISSUES AND WAY FORWARD

Major issues and way forward for the effective implementation of environmental safeguard

measures are discussed below in Table 7.

Table 7: Issues and Way Forward

S.N Issues Way forward

1 Late hour coordination with DFO (for

paying out for plantation activities) has

raised the chances of failure in payment

to DFO for plantation activities, where coordination is ongoing

Timely release of budget by NRA and

meaningful consultation and coordination

by DLPIU for payment to DFO

2 Initiating Third party monitoring Coordination with concerned stakeholders

for carrying out third party monitoring or direct procurement by CLPIU/DLPIU for

third party monitoring

3 Timely Plantation under bio-

engineering for survival

Immediate interference by DLPIU for sub-

project that has been planning for plantation under bio-engineering

1. THE PROJECT BACKGROUND

1.1 Background

The proposed loan (No. 3260-NEP) under Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is

financing improvements of three feeder roads, a total of 99.741 km, in the central and western

regions of Nepal. While the Project will contribute to development and expansion of the Strategic Road Network (SRN), it will include an institutional capacity assessment in the areas of road

safety and road maintenance, which will form the basis for a capacity development program.

Gender and social inclusion through a livelihood program will be targeting women involved in road

construction activities in the project-affected area.

The project roads are: (i) Dolakha – Singati Road (34.49 Km), (ii) Dhading Gorkha Road (42.274

Km) excluding 25 km overlap with Mid-Hill highway in total of 87.274 km and (iii) Panchkhal –

Melamchi Road (22.977 Km).The Department of Roads (DoR) intends to improve these roads to an all-weather bituminous Feeder Road Standard. Project roads have been selected based on

environment, resettlement, social and economic impacts; and project readiness. The Project is

relevant to achieving results of the Country Strategy and Program (2013-2017), enhancing global-

local connectivity to facilitate regionally balanced economic growth. The detail of sub project is listed below

* Length of Dhading – Gorkha Road for upgrading has been shortened as 4.00 km has been

already upgraded by DoR, Division Road Office.

* Length of previously planned Panchkhal - Melamchi – Tibmu Road Section has been revised by

covering only Panchkhal – Melamchi Section due to budgetary Constraints.

Thus scope of work for upgrading has been reduced to 99.741 km only as against of previously

planned length of 122 km.

6.7 Community Infrastructure

In Dolakha-Singati Road, one stone masonry water tank of 2000 m3 capacity has been

constructed. Around 100 m of irrigation crossing has been constructed/ rehabilitated. Foot trail,

steps to houses (about 5 m3) and relocation of water supply pipe lines has been carried out in this reporting period. In Dhading-Gorkha Road, the process of electric pole removal is in progress

and masonry steps (about 6 m3) to houses has been constructed and about 4205 m (100 m - 110

mm dia., 155 m – 40 mm dia., 530 m – 32 mm dia., 570 m – 25 mm dia., 1300 m – 20 mm dia.,

and 1550 m – 16 mm dia.) of water supply pipelines has been reinstated. In case of Panchkhal- Melamchi Timbu Road (Panchkhal- Melamchi section) activities have been started and are on

progress regarding community infrastructure with the progress of construction.

6.8 EMP Implementation Monitoring and Reporting

Environmental monitoring is being carried out through environment specialist. Supervision staff

at site has been provided environmental monitoring checklist. Supervision staff at site are regularly checking the status at site. Details of the compliance of safeguard measures by the

contractor are being submitted to the Resident Engineer’s office and is verified. Process for

grievance redress mechanism is implemented. Two GRC has been formed for Dhading and

Gorkha district. Each month along with monthly progress report, environmental safeguard status

is being included. In Panchkhal-Melamchi Road also it is initiated and going on the reporting of the EMP implementation status.

6.9 Occupational Health and Safety

Proposed road upgrading requires a large numbers of labor forces for undertaking its activities of various natures. These activities amongst others include risk prone ones like quarry, rock breakup works, etc. When undertaken without safety measures, helmet, gloves, boots and ear guards, labors may get injured or even death. All the labours are provided the safety gears.

6.10 Dust Control Measures

During the construction works in the site, various types of dusts are arising in and around the

area. The dust control measures have been applied in all the sites. In Dolakha- Singati Road,

Dhading-Gorkha and Panchkhal-Melamchi Roads, water sprinkling are doing wherever need. The school area, settlement area and the working area are regularly spraying the water to control

the dust. The peoples around the Dhading –Gorkha Road the dust problem is still have the oral

grievance. This is already informed the contractor.

1. BACKGROUND

Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is being implemented by covenant loan

assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB) and counterpart funding from Government of Nepal. The goal of the project is to support the government to accelerate rehabilitation and

reconstruction following the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershock

of 12 May 2015. The project will support the rebuilding of schools, roads, and district-level

government buildings, and strengthen resilience to future disasters. EEAP, Loan 3260 for $200 million was approved on 24 June 2015, signed on 21 August 2015 and became effective on

10 September 2015.

A. Impact and Outcome

The impact of the project is accelerated economic and social recovery in earthquake

affected districts. The outcome will be critical economic and social services resumed with

disaster-resilient infrastructure.

B. Outputs

The project has four outputs:

(i) Output 1. Schools are rebuilt and upgraded. At least 700 schools will be rebuilt or

retrofitted in line with school reconstruction plans to disaster-resilient standards and

equipped with water and sanitation facilities, including sex-disaggregated toilets. About five will be model schools built with information and communication

technology equipment, science laboratories, and improved learning spaces. This

target has been reduced to 154 school buildings (MTR, October 2017).

(ii) Output 2. Roads and bridges are rehabilitated and/or reconstructed. About 135 km

of strategic roads and about 450 km of rural roads damaged by the earthquake and

landslides will be rehabilitated. Target for strategic and district roads has been

reduced to 123.9 km and 525 km respectively (MTR, October 2017). Project roads and bridges will have built back better features for road safety and climate resilience.

Construction and maintenance equipment will also be procured.

(iii) Output 3. District-level government facilities constructed and/or rebuilt. About 300

district-level government buildings will be rebuilt or retrofitted to disaster resilient

standards with basic utilities, and furnished. This target has been reduced to 123

buildings (MTR, October 2017). Transitional district-level government offices will

also be established to enable services to continue throughout the reconstruction period.

(iv) Output 4. Disaster preparedness and management capacities strengthened. All

outputs are assured to be disaster risk resilient. Schools in poorer and severely

affected districts constructed or rebuilt as model disaster resilient schools under

Disaster risk reduction and Livelihood Restoration for Earthquake Affected

Communities Project funded by Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) Grant.

This rebuilt or retrofits eight model schools with disaster resilient standard in line with


65

government’s school reconstruction plans and to be equipped with science laboratories and improved learning space, furniture and amenities.

C. Project Locations

The project is being implemented in 8 districts to rebuilt 154 schools: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Kavreplanchowk, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga, and Sindhuli.There are two model schools under reconstruction, one in each district, as Dolakha and Ramechhap financed by JFPR grant. Furthermore, 6 model schools are being reconstructed, one in each district, as Lalitpur, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Gorkha, Dhading and Makawanpur also financed JFPR grant.

D. Purpose of Safeguard Compliance Monitoring Report

The purpose of this Environmental Compliance Monitoring Report is to fulfill the

environmental safeguard requirements of the government and ADB. The main purpose

of the Semiannual Monitoring Report is to assess the progress on environment and

safeguard implementation at the construction sites which includes status of air quality,

noise and vibration, quarry site management, spoil management, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), management of construction waste materials and camp site

management covering from January to June 2019.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD IN EEAP An Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) was prepared in accordance

with ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. Due diligence report (DDR) with EMP

Focused Districts: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Kavreplanchowk, Sindhupalchowk Sindhuli, Dolakha, Ramechap

Additional Districts: Gorkha, Dhading, Makwanpur, Rasuwa, Nuwakot & Lalitpur


66

were required for school and office building sub-projects along with incorporating Environmental Management Plan (EMP) into bidding and contract documents to be

implemented by contractors.

Environmental assessment is the primary administrative tool to integrate environmental considerations into decision making to ensure that proposed development intervention will

have minimal environmental impacts. The project falls in category “C” on the basis of rapid environmental and social assessment check lists prepared as per SPS, 2009. Based on the

SPS, 2009 DDRs were also prepared for each sub project.

3. OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD STATUS The overall environmental safeguard status of EEAP in reference to output 1, DDRs reports of all 154 school sub-projects have been prepared and submitted to central Level project

Implementation Unit- Education (CLPIU-E). The status of environmental safeguard planning and implementation of sub-projects is presented in Annex 1.

4. CONSTRUCTION APPROACH The project applies National Competitive Bidding (NCB) approach for reconstruction of

schools. Contractors have been mobilizing equipment and human resources to execute the

contract and complete it within the stipulated time. Spoil disposal has been planned to

balance with cutting and filling as far as possible. The use of bio-engineering techniques with integrated use of vegetation, civil engineering structures and proper water management

systems for slope protection such as retaining walls, breast walls. Overall construction

activities follow the environment friendly approach as much as possible.

The school building blocks are designed and executed as per the motto “Built –Back –Better” formulated by the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA). The approach taken in design

and construction includes the following features:

(i) Design incorporates earthquake resistant features.

(ii) Design foresees maximum use of local materials and manpower as far as possible.

(iii) Design includes environmental friendly measures such as locations of building without risk of landslide, flood etc. It also includes energy saving design, environmental

enhancement measures such as trees plantations, bio-engineering techniques,

landscaping, rain water harvesting etc. where feasible.

(iv) Most of the constructions are manual and labour intensive with occasional use of small equipment such as concrete mixture, small backhoe for excavation, tractors and small

trucks for transportation of materials.

(v) No child labour is permitted.

(vi) Labour safeguard is focused.

5. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS The environment safeguards related project activities are generally in compliance with loan

covenants. The detail of environment covenants is presented in Annex-3.

For better environmental safeguard compliance of the project, implementation of EMP has been strictly carried out. The summary of environmental compliances is listed (Annex 1):

(i) Awareness raising training. A training on social, environment, Gender Equality

and Social Inclusion (GESI) and technical aspects for Engineers and Sub-engineers

working in District Level Project Implementation Units was conducted to enhance

the technical skills of personnel involved in implementation and supervision of

earthquake resilience school building reconstruction works. The second regular two

days training programme was organized by DSC in collaboration with CLPIU-E at

different district headquarters of the project districts.


68

(ii) Occupational health and safety. Occupation health and safety have been followed.

PPE like, helmet, gloves, boots, and jackets have been provided by the contractors

to workers. They were oriented to use PPE during site visits. The use of PPE is found

satisfactory at each construction site. Insurance of each worker had been done. So

far, no accident during construction had been reported. First aid kit with medicines

has been maintained at each construction site.

(iii) Tree loss and plantation work. Due to the space constraints in some schools,

felling of trees was unavoidable. During site visit, it was observed that some of the

trees were felled during construction. Contractors and SMCs were advised to protect

the trees and avoid the felling of trees as far as possible. Contractor and SMC both

were advised to plant trees within the school premises and submit the list of plants

for plantation.

Till the reporting period in few schools in Ramechhap, Sindhuli and Kavreplanchowk,

Bhaktapur and Sindhupalchowk district plantation has been done. Among them

Kavre Palanchok district plantation work is noteworthy. The detail of plantation is presented in Annex-2.

(iv) Camp site management. Drinking water and toilet facilities were provided to the workers. Temporary toilets were constructed for the workers, in some sites, workers were using the existing school toilets. Most of the workers are from outside the village. Therefore, contractors have built temporary camps for the workers near the construction sites as required by the labors. Some contractors have rented local house for workers in the vicinities. Workers use LPG as well as firewood for cooking at camp site.

(v) Signboard placing. Contractors have placed sign boards for contract information and safety concerns at the construction sites.

(vi) Grievance redress mechanism. GRM mechanism has been established in all sub-

projects. So far, 3 grievances have been reported from Kathamndu district and one

from Okhalandhunga district. The grievance, at Sitapaila SS, Package no-2

Kathmandu district was about the safety concern due to deep excavation of

foundation for school building and impact to adjacent local houses was resolved at

local level. Similarly, another grievance was raised in Ratna Rajya School Package

no-2, Kathmandu district where there is a historic temple on the east side of the

school premises which is being worshiped by local community since long time and

local devotees are opposing the construction work. Similarly another grievance was

raised in August 2018. Okhalandhunga district at Rumjatar SS by Civil Aviation

Authority for the construction of 3 storey building (CR-12 Block) adjacent to the

Rumjatar airport, pursuing the building Bye law of Civil Aviation Authority. The

grievance was addressed, the school building was redesigned to be 2 storey to

comply with the Building Bye Law requirements of Civil Aviation Authority. Similarly

grievance was raised by SMC at Sahayogi SS, Gokarna in Kathmandu district

regarding the revised master plan of the erection of ‘5C8’ building block. A tripartite meeting was held on July 3 at CLPIU-E in presence of the representatives of CLPIU-

E, SMC and DSC and agreed to revise the master plan as proposed by DSC. In

February, grievance was raised at Sindhupalchowk district, Surya Kiran Primary


69

school by a local due to the land cutting and dumping of soil. Addressing the

grievance, gabion wall were proposed at the required site. Grievance detail is

presented in Annex-3.

(vii) Spoil management. Spoil disposal sites have been identified and are being managed in specified disposal sites as far as possible. The spoil is disposed at location where there is the requirement of the fill material as requested by community.

(viii) Air and water qualities. Air quality within the reconstruction site has been maintained in tolerable level as the reconstruction works of schools generate insignificant amount of dust. Similarly, water quality is not degraded since spoils are managed within the site and stabilized by reinstating natural drainage system.

(ix) Slope stability. The master planning of the school is prepared conserving natural

land scape of the site. In some unavoidable cases, earthwork in excavation and

filling were carried out considering self-slope stabilization of the soil in uphill and

downhill of the site with least requirement of breast and retaining walls. Spoils were

managed within the site by filling them on the area with gentle contour of the site as

far as possible. Retaining wall and breast are provided as per the site conditions.

(x) EMP implementation, monitoring, reporting and field visit. Environmental monitoring format has been sent to districts as given in Annex 4. Environmental monitoring is also done by the Environment Expert including other Expert Team during field visit. Table 2 gives the list of sub projects visited by environment expert.

(xi) Strom water drainage. Drainage are designed and constructed specially for the

storm water management. In Schools as Chandeshwori PS Sindhupalchowk, and

Sindhu Paurana Gaoun SS, Sindhupalchowk,Jansewa Kavre, Prakashodya SS

Sindhuli, Yassam SS, Okhalandhunga strom water drainage management has been

done as per the requirement.

1. Background

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake of shallow depth struck central Nepal with an epicenter

approximately 77 km northwest of Kathmandu on April 25th causing widespread destruction.

On May 12, a large aftershock of a magnitude 7.3 hit Nepal and caused further causalities and

damage. As of 3 June 2015, the reported casualties include: 8,702 deaths and 22,493 people

injured. According to the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) undertaken jointly by the

Government and its development partners, the earthquakes have caused damages in the

order of $7 billion, equivalent to about 35% of the country’s gross domestic product.

Considering the scale of the disaster, a major recovery effort is required.

The Government of Nepal (GoN) has requested support from a number of development

partners, including the ADB, to address the immediate and medium term impacts of the

damage inflicted by the earthquake in Nepal. In response to this, ADB approved a $200 million

loan to finance the Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) approved on 24 June

2015. The project will support for four outputs which are: a) Output 1: Rebuilding of schools,

b) Output 2: Roads c) Output 3: District- Level Government Buildings, and d) Output 4:

Strengthening Resilience to Future Disasters. The EAAP is to be completed by 23rd June,

2019.

The National Reconstruction Authority is the project’s executing agency (NRA) on an interim

basis until the GON has established a new special purpose agency for the purpose of

coordinating and implementing the post-disaster reconstruction program. For output 3,

Ministry of Urban Development\Central Level Project Implementation Unit (MoUD \CLPIU) is

designated as an implementing agency for rebuilding of district level government buildings.

To implement the output 3 component, the Ministry of Urban Development has established a

Central Level Project Implementation Unit (CLPIU) based at Kathmandu and implementation

units at district level (DLPIUs). The CLPIU will be responsible for guiding and monitoring the

constructions of government building projects funded by ADB. The consultants will assist the

CLPIU and the DLPIUs. The consultants’ support include, among others, overall project

management, financial management, construction supervision and environmental monitoring.

CLPIU had engaged joint venture of TAEC-SILT-TSE to execute environmental monitoring of

the construction of various government office building projects in 11 earthquake affected

districts of Nepal namely Gorkha, Lamjung, Dhading, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Kavrepalanchowk,

Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Sindhuli, Ramechap and Okhaldhunga. The overall construction

status of Sub-projects is presented in Table 1.

2. Environmental Safeguards in EEAP

Environmental assessment is essential to integrate environmental considerations into

development project in order to minimize adverse environmental impacts. EEAP falls in

category C project according to ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009.

During the construction and rehabilitation of the building sub-projects, environmental

monitoring is an important tool to ensure the compliance of mitigation measures and

implementation of environmental management plan (EMP). Monthly, Quarterly and semi-

annual Environmental safeguard monitoring report have to be prepared on the basis of report received from DSC (District Supervision Consultant) team and environmental field visit carried

out by Environmental Safeguard Unit of CSE (Construction Supervision Consultant) recruited

by EEAP. Moreover, due diligence report has been prepared for the sub-projects.

Considering the progress status of construction of government buildings in 11 districts, the

contract has been awarded to the government buildings and they have started the construction

works. Generally, they have been implementing safeguard measures satisfactory. However,

trainings need to be conducted to the workers and supervision staffs regarding implementation of safeguard measures.

3. Overall Environmental Safeguard Status

The safeguard compliance status recorded during field observation (based on environmental safeguard compliance monitoring format as presented in Annex 2) and discussion with the

employees of project and contractor are enlisted as under:

111

Table 2: Overall Compliance Status of Safeguard Issues

SN Issue Compliance Status Remarks

1 Awareness raising/ Orientation training

Complied The construction workers as well as contractor were instructed regularly about the safety requirements in the sites

Both construction workers as well as the representatives of contractors has been provided with safety trainings and awareness regarding the benefit of applying safety measures in their works

2 Stockpiling and spoil disposal management

Moderately complied Majority of the generated spoil of excavated works has been systematically kept within the site but some amount of soil has been still dumped nearby stream bank (DUBDC Building, Lamjung) in spite of regular instruction to the contractor during every site visit. The spoil of the access road to DUDBC Building (Lamjung) needs to be properly managed as well to avoid dumping into the nearby stream.

3 Grievance redress mechanism

Not complied The project has not established Grievance redress committee. However, the supervision engineers (Resident Engineer and Assistant Engineer) have been instructed to address the grievances received if any. However, no grievances has been received in this period

4 Dust emission management

Not complied No provision of spraying of water for suppressing dust emission. Moreover, mask has not been provided to construction workers in majority of the sites.

Most of the vehicles carrying construction material have not been covered with tarpaulin or plastic sheets in some of the sites

5 Noise Pollution management

Complied The noise generation is limited to use of small equipment and machinery generating low noise No complaints has been received from the nearby community regarding construction noise

6 Camp site management

Moderately complied In some sites (DUBDC & DWSS Integrated of Rasuwa District, Soil Conservation Office of Gorkha District and Integrated Office Building of Sindhuli District), firewood is used for cooking instead of LPG and kerosene. However, LPG has been used by the construction workers in many sites

The labor residences have been haphazardly managed within the newly constructed buildings showing inhuman residential condition. The workers have not been provided with adequate warm living conditions.

The prevalence of communicable diseases was observed due to communal living condition of workers

Many of the construction camps and labor camps are deprived of safe drinking water facility. Filtration facility for drinking water has not practiced in many camp sites.

However, some construction workers have arranged their own residence in some of the construction sites (Lamjung District)

Mosquito nets have been used in most of the residential sites of labor during for summer Toilet facility has been provided in most of the construction sites but some sites don't have

proper sanitation facility (Pit latrine)


112


7 Construction waste management

Partially complied Some of the construction sites (District Court office of Dhading District, District Forest office of Ramechap District, District Court office of Gorkha district, Integrated office Building of Sindhuli district, etc) had not managed construction waste such as broken bricks, reinforcement rod, timber, leftover sand & gravel, glass, nail, bamboo scaffoldings, etc, which are haphazardly kept within the available space of the construction site

8 Quarry site management

Not applicable The construction materials such as sand, boulder, gravel, etc have been obtained from approved quarry sites

9 Storage Management Partially compiled In many of the sites, the construction materials have been stored in the newly constructed buildings

In some sites, construction materials have been still stockpiled nearby public land or road side (District Court Office, District Technical office and DUDBC Office, Dhading District; ) due to lack of proper space

10 Plantation and protection of trees

Partially compiled In some construction sites (Building sites of Ramechap district, Dolakha district and Lamjung district), tree plantation has been carried out. The list of plant species to be planted in all the building construction sites had been sent to CSE in order to instruct the contractors for the plantation (Refer Annex 4)

In many of construction sites, space has been allocated for plantation of trees The trees of construction site has been conserved as far as possible However, vegetables has been gown instead of tree in available open space of the building

premises (National Investigation Office, Lamjung district) 11 Cleanliness in and

around construction sites

Partially complied In most of the construction sites, the left out constructions materials have not been managed and have been dispersed randomly

Dustbins or waste collecting containers have not been managed in many of the construction sites

The aesthetic of the building has been reduced due to unmanaged construction wastes and haphazard stockpiling of construction materials

12 Occupational Health and Safety management

Partially complied All the workers have been covered by accidental insurance policy In majority of constriction sites, the construction workers are not provided with adequate

numbers of personnel protective equipment such as boot, helmet, jacket, gloves, mask, safety belt, etc.

In many construction sites, the construction workers don't use PPE although provided. The other reason behind is the repetitive change of construction workers, which has caused difficulty in maintaining safety awareness

Regular safety training has been provided to the construction workers The construction sites have not been barricaded in some of the construction sites The high tension line of 33 kV capacity located on the southern side within the premises of

District Court Office, had been realigned and replaced with concealed cable


113


13 Management of interrupted service and supply

Not Applicable No disruption of service and supply due to construction activities in any of the construction sites

14 Water logging Management

Partially Complied The water logging of the integrated office building site (Sindhuli District) has been managed by providing drainage management works; however, the works has not been completed yet.

Such problems has not been noticed in the other construction sites 15 Slope Protection and

Management Moderately Compiled The instable slopes nearby the construction site has been properly managed by constructing

retaining and breast walls to avoid falling down of nearby buildings as well as to prevent accidents (District Court Office, Gorkha; District; Integrated Building of DUDBC Division Office and Department of Water Supply and Sanitation Division Office, Rasuwa District; DUDBC Division office)

The hill slope has been managed at District Cottage & Small Industry Committee Office, Sindhupalchowk District

16 Tree Felling for site clearance and safety purpose

Partially complied The written consent has been obtained for clearing 5 trees from Mahakali Mahila Community Forest for site clearance works for District Cottage & Small Industry Committee Office, Sindhupalchowk District

Three Champ Trees (Michelia champaca) needs to be felled down from the premises of DUBDC Office, Lamjung District for the safety of Building as these trees might fall down during strong wind. However, the Division Forest Office doesn't give permission to cut these trees due to the conservation significance of this tree species. DLPIU shall coordinate with Division Forest office for the clearance of these trees regarding safety of the buildings

114

4. Construction Approach

The Government Buildings are designed and executed as per the motto "Built-back-better"

formulated by the National Reconstruction Authority. The approach taken in design and

construction include the following features:

Design incorporates earthquake resistant features Design foresees maximum use of local materials and labour as far as possible Design includes environment friendly measures such as location of building without

risk of landslide, flood etc. It also includes energy saving designs, environmental enhancement measures such as tree plantation, landscaping, rain water harvesting etc.

Most of the construction is manual and labour intensive with occasional use of small equipment such as concrete mixtures, small back hoe for excavation, tractors and small truck for transportation of materials

Child labour is prohibited

5. Compliance Status with Environmental Covenants

The environmental safeguards related to project activities are generally in compliance with

covenants. The detail of environmental covenants is presented in Annex 3.

6. Institutional Arrangement

The project has not established grievance redress committee so far. However, DLPIU has been instructed to form the grievance redress committee to the soonest, and is in the process

of establishment in all project districts. However, an engineer is deployed by DLPIU in all 11

project districts to implement and monitor safeguard issues associated with environment and

social aspects. But no grievance has been received so far in any sub-projects.

7. Corrective actions and way forward

The contractor and DLPIU should apply following corrective measures for the compliance of safeguard:

a. Spoil Management The haphazard disposal of generated waste within construction sites should be

prevented and properly managed Disposal of excess material immediately after filling and compaction of the trench

is necessary Dumping of spoil within construction sites and nearby riverside should be

prohibited [for e.g. the leftover spoil needs to be adequately managed to avoid the movement of spoils into the stream (DUBDC Office, Lamjung District). The spoil of access road needs to DUDBC, Lamjung shall be properly managed as well.

b. Slope Protection and Management Necessary retaining and breast wall has been constructed to maintain slope

stability (District Cottage & Small Industry Committee Office, Sindhupalchowk District)

c. Occupational health and Safety


115

Arrangement of light, fencing by ribbon or bamboo barricades, warning signs, caution board in the construction sites

Adequate number of PPE along with first aid kit with medicines should be provided to workers by contractor at all work sites. In most of the sites, use of PPE has not been strictly implemented

Arrangement of safety belt to workers at a height of 2 meter or more above a lower level

PPE should be used by all the staffs involved in the project The construction workers should be made aware of using PPE through awareness

training Coordination with nearby health institution or hospital in case of medical

emergency or accidents Regular safety training to construction workers

d. Campsite management Use of firewood in the construction camps still persist in some of the sites and

should be prohibited Provision of cooking gas or kerosene, electricity, water supply, clean drinking

water, waste management and medical facilities Use of proper toilet facilities in each camp The workers should be provided with adequate warm living condition The workers should be provided with mosquito nets Regular Health check-up of all the construction workers Provision of an Isolated living unit for the workers suffering from the communicable

disease Prohibition of alcohol consumption and gambling in the construction camps to

avoid conflict with local people

e. Dust emission Sprinkling of water at spoil disposal sites as well as the construction sites consisting

loose soil. The water sprinkling has not been carried out in majority of sites in spite of low dust emission

Open storage and spillage of loose soil in and around the construction site should not be allowed

Truck loads carrying spoils or construction material such as sand, gravel, etc should be properly covered during transportation to prevent blowing off loose construction materials

f. Water Logging Proper management of drainage in and around construction site to avoid water

logging in construction sites as it can create breeding ground for vectors (mosquitos, flies, etc) and create slippery condition of the sites

g. Construction Waste Management and Cleanliness in Construction

Site Prohibition of haphazard disposal of construction debris Establishment of appropriate construction waste management system for

collection, segregation and disposal of construction debris within construction site Stockpiling of construction material along road side should be avoided as it can

obstruct traffic as well as drainage

h. Tree Plantation and Conservation Felling of tree in the construction site should be avoided as far as possible


116

Proper space should be allocated for the plantation of the tree at building site Tree within the construction sites should be conserved as far as possible For greenery and landscape management, ornamental plants (>5ft tall) should be

planted after the completion of construction works ( Refer Annex 4) CLPIU should coordinate with all the offices for the planation of trees as some of

the offices insist to plant vegetables instead of trees.

i. Tree Felling for safety and Site clearance CLPIU/DLPIU should coordinate with Division Forest Office, Lamjung for the felling

of three Champ (Michelia champaca) trees from the premises of DUDBC Building, which has caused threat to the building and safety of people within the premises

8. Major Items Focused for Next Report

The major work planned for the next report comprises of providing safety training for construction work force as well as contractors, plantation of trees within the premises of building and frequent field visit for the implementation of healthy and safe working environment.
