The contractor shall update once the specific location identified for Borrow/Quarry sites, Spoil disposal sites, and storage sites for construction material, specific site for labour camps, crusher plants, hot mix plants and batching plants, and disposal site for hazardous wastes. Further, contractor shall include possible locations along the alignment for the bioengineering.

7. Construction Supervision Consultant has provided the EMP back to contractor after review and further instructed contractor to provide details and adequate information updating EMP on the following such as; construction camp layout, plan for the management of waste generated from the workers and engineers camp, borrow area management, traffic management, tree plantation, bioengineering and others to be prepared by the contractor in order to get an approval from the CSC.

2.5 Environmental Monitoring of Air, Water and Noise

8. Ambient Air along the construction alignment and at close to the crusher, quarry, and hot mix plants including settlements close to the alignment, water quality of existing rivers along the alignment, and noise during the time of construction is yet to be monitored. However, monitoring of air, water and noise has been procrastinated due to monsoon season. Monitoring activities will be carried out in next biannual. As most of the rivers are in swollen state, dust is suppressed due to rain and less noise generated due to delay in construction activity during monsoon.

9. Further, the construction activities have been severely affected due to current pandemic situation of Covid-19. Monitoring parameters for air and water quality monitoring will be determined as per the baseline data maintained or as per the suggestion provided by the approved IEE report of the project.

12. All the affected trees are cut in presence of officers from Department of Forest. Cut wood logs are stacked and handed over to the department.

2.7 Management of Labour Camps

13. The contractor has established labour camp at two locations. Labour camp established in Sitapur (chaingae 165+400) is for Package1 whereas, camp established at Balan (chainage 197+000) is for Package2. Labour camps on both sites are seen to be well managed, with good facilities for drinking water, waste management, women friendly separate toilets and bathrooms. Cooking gas is used in the kitchen, and the kitchen are seen to be clean. LPG or kerosene has been used as fuel source in construction camps instead of wood. Tree cutting for fuel wood is strictly restricted.

14. There is a well maintained toilet and washroom facilities that include a separate space for ladies and gents. There are total 8 number of washrooms inside the camp for all staffs. For the labors that are working nearby the camp area are provided with 2 number of toilets to use during the work time. As the labors are local, they use the restrooms only during the day time.

15. Camp established at Sitapur is well equipped and waste generated from the camp has been disposed safely. Similarly, kitchen area established only at the Balan camp is of 40 square meters. Kitchen configuration is 1 head chef, and a kitchen assistant and are serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

and slopes. Those top soil should be collected in safe area and use for embank filling from top as well as in bioengineering sites and median. However, the specific disposal sites are yet to be identified. Once the contractor identifies the sites; the contractor shall also update EMP for the planning and safe disposal avoiding impact upon environment.

2.9 Quarry and Borrow pits Management

17. Contractor has now identified quarry and borrow pits close to the project alignment. The contractor has identified two borrow pits close to the proposed alignment. One of the identified borrow pit is existed close to the Package1 alignment at Sitapur with the estimated available quantity of construction material was 5,000 cums. Similarly, another borrow pit identified is situated close to Package2 at Balan with the estimated available quantity of 50,000 cums. of construction material. The contractor has intended to extract construction material from borrow pits avoiding dip excavation and will ensure no ponding at the borrow pits during monsoon season. The identified borrow pits will be established on private lands where contractor will maintain landscaping after completion of extraction. The agreements made with the landowners are presented in the Annex 7.

2.10 Crusher Establishment and Management

18. The contractor has intended to establish a crushing plant at the Khutti River site. Therefore, contractor is instructed to acquire environmental clearance from the local government prior to its operation. Further, shall ensure that the selected sites are with environmental clearance meeting requirements of EPA, 2076 and EPR, 2077 of GON. Contractor is requested to update EMP incorporating all the measures required for the restoration and rehabilitation of crusher plant area. Similarly, the contractor is intending to establish a crusher plant close to Kamala River; however, contractor has not finalized the location and its establishment. 19. The contractor has intended for the riverbed extraction and operations at the following locations.

Khutti River (10 km away towards the north direction from chainage: Km 193+900) (coordinate- Start point- 26°53′57.76″N 86°08′15.43″E, End point- 26°56′3.42″N 86°09′6.46″E) with the estimated availability of aggregates of 300,000 m3. However, the excavation has not been started.

Kamala River (3 km away towards the south direction from chainage: Km 236+703) (coordinate- Start point- 26°45′50.12″N 86°28′10.77″E, End point- 26°47′52.92″N 86°27′3.27″E).

20. Therefore, contractor is supposed to acquire clearance from the local government prior to its operation. Contractor is requested to update EMP incorporating all the measures required for its restoration and rehabilitation after excavation. However, the contractor will avoid extraction of riverbed during the monsoon season and will further ensure the banks close to the excavation are not eroded and are stable. The identified crusher plant location at Khutti River will be established on private lands where contractor will maintain landscaping after completion of extraction. The agreements made with the landowners are presented in the Annex 8. Whereas, the land area identified close to Kamal River is government land. Contractor is yet to be proceed approval process for the utilization of land with the lined government agency.

2.12 Water Supply and Drainage Management

22. The amount of water required for domestic purposes is sourced from a certified drinking mineral water factory. Water for the construction works is sourced from local rivers or ponds as needed. In the project area, major source of drinking water is found to be from Tubewell/handpump piped water (81.59%) (IEE_Kamala-Kanchanpur).

23. The river morphology of Kanchanpur- Kamala Road section seems stable. Most of the rivers are non-perennial. Existing natural drainage system has not been disturbed and construction activities near/inside rivers, streams, ponds has been avoided during the rainy season as well as during the normal period. Causeways have been provided in each perennial and seasonal streams as well as rivulets. In addition, construction of adequate cross drainage structures is under progress to avoid natural flow of water especially for unusual rainfall events. The size of the drainage structures has been designed to accommodate increasing volumes of water.

2.13 Slope Stabilization and Bioengineering

24. Bioengineering activities has not been started yet. Further, location required for the implementation of bioengineering activity are yet to be identified. Bioengineering solutions will be required along the high embankment established due to road widening and close to the cross drainage works. As the road alignment is fully passes through Terai Region, where slope stabilization is not a major problem, bioengineering solutions will be identified after the completion of embankment works along the alignment where high new embankments are established.

2.14 Management of Dust

25. Dust pollution is one of the significant issues during the construction of embankment and widening of the highway road. Contractor has mobilized adequate number of water tanks to sprinkle water in order to suppress dust generated during construction along the embankment. Dust was generated especially during dry season; however, dust generation is minimal during the time of monsoon season. Until now, dust control activity carried out by the contractor is found partially satisfactory in both construction packages. The contractor has mobilized 2 large sprinklers and 1 small sprinkler along the both Package1 and Package2. Thus, in total 6 numbers of water sprinklers are mobilized to suppress dust.

2.15 Management of Hot Mix Plant

26. The establishment of hot mix plant is too early for the project. Road pavement will be carried out only after completion of road widening and stabilization of embankment. Thus, no such plants have been established. The contractor has not identified location for the establishment for such plant.

2.16 Management of Batching Plant

27. The contractor has not established batching plant yet. No any location has been identified for the establishment of batching plant. Contractor will access the identified location prior to the establishment of batching plant.

2.17 Occupational Health and Safety

28. Contractor has been requested to submit updated Occupational Health and Safety Plan in order to cope with the monsoon season. The plan shall be commensurate with the construction activity. The plan shall also include how the contractor will maintain workers safety during the time of construction of road embankment, trench excavation, operation of hot mix plant, construction vehicles and excavators etc. The plan shall also include responsibility of each designated person in order to maintain safety at construction sites. As the contractor has appointed Mr. Li Zhongquin as Health & Safety Expert (Director), contact

Further, purchase of insurance policy of all workers and site staffs, first aid facility at every construction site are the essential requirements to be included in the plan.

29. Safety has been maintained within the construction sites. Safety signboards are in place around the construction sites. Safety cone, Caution tape, Warning signboard, Sandbags, Safety belt, etc. are in place at construction sites. Similarly, Contractor has provided safety equipment to all workers and site engineers and workers are using PPEs in a proper manner. PPEs such as, safety helmet, safety vest, mask, safety boot, and gloves are being provided to workers. All together 150 sets of PPEs are distributed and provided to workers at Package1. 95% of the workers are using provided PPEs in satisfactory manner. Similarly, 90 sets of PPEs are distributed to the workers under Package2. 85% of the workers are using the provided PPEs in satisfactory manner. First aid box is provided in every site, together with a staff nurse for medical support by the contractor. In total, 5 first aid boxes are available at the sites, and willing to increase if needed as per site condition. However, there is no any case of fatality due to construction activity along the Kanchanpur-Kamala section until date.

2.18 Traffic Management and Road Safety

30. Existing traffic has been maintained without any disturbance during the time of construction. As Kanchanpur-Kamala alignment is a section of Mahendra Highway, no blockade will be possible even during the construction. The contractor has established one way traffic for the movement along the construction section even during the road widening with the construction of embankment along the one half of the alignment. Further, road safety features construction on the road such as speed control signs, safety signage and barricades, speed bumps, zebra crossing and underpasses for pedestrians and separate lanes for bicycles and motorcycle users in urban areas had been envisioned in IEE report so that they remain functional at all times in order to maintain safety during the time of operation.

2.19 Construction Vehicles

31. Vehicles used for construction (LMVs) in package 1 and 2 have environment clearance received from government. The contractor has well maintained all the construction vehicles mobilized during the construction. However, all the LMV’s are rental cars. The owners are already directed to submit the pollution control cards as soon as possible.

2.20 Public Utilities and Religious/Cultural Physical Structures

32. According to the IEE report of the project; the existing public utilities and services located within the corridor of impact (COI) will be affected by the proposed road upgrading. These services include transformer (34), power supplying lines (526 electric poles, 240 lamp posts etc.); 179 telephone poles and public tube-well (5). The IEE report has proposed shifting of the utilities in a manner to create minimum disruption and inconvenience to the service users as mitigation measures proposed in the IEE report. However, the public utilities and religious/cultural physical structures affected within the both project packages are listed in the table below;

2.21 Grievance Redress Mechanism and Resolution

34. The mechanism has been established in the project level. As Project Administration Manual (PAM) has established three tiers of Grievance Redress Mechanism a) Project level (site level PIUs) b) Local-level committees (Project affected Municipality/Rural Municipalities), and c) field-level committees with the objective of to receive and facilitate in the resolution of

Semi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report January-June 2021

13 | P a g e

Affected Persons’ (AP’s) complaints. Corrective measures will be undertaken at the field level itself within 7 days at field level committees. If any grievances remain unresolved at the first level committees, then Local-level committees should activate and resolve the issue within 7 days. If any grievance remains unresolved at local level committees, The PIUs level committees should activate and resolve the issues within 7 days. In case, the grievance still remains unresolved at the PIU’s level, and if the complainant is not satisfied or does not accept the Project level committee decision, he/she may submit it directly (in writing) to the ADB Resident Mission within 7 days. All grievances will be documented with full information of the person and issue. The CSC Social Resettlement specialist and Social Development officer checks the grievances received both verbally and in writing. The project has formed 2 GRC’s at the field level and 12 GRCs at the local level during the reporting period.

35. As the project is implementing work to the existing road, and the civil works are under construction, the GRC’s under the GRM is actively working for receiving/recording complaints from the AP’s with mitigation of recorded complaints promptly following the GRM procedure. Complaints received during this semiannual had been documented and addressed within the seven days from the received of complain. However, only two complaints were received during the reporting period and are presented in the following table.

pamphlets published by Department of Information at construction sites that depicting measures to be adopted such as procedure of hand washing, maintaining social distance, use of face mask, using sanitizer, and major symptoms of covid-19. Contractor had reduced workers from outer community at most of the under-construction sites due to lockdown imposed by the government. Local workers were provided opportunity in the highway construction. Whereas, workers were confirmed within the construction site and are not allowed to move out from the construction area to avoid contagion. Though, construction activity is halted for some time during the time of lockdown imposed by the government, contractor managed to continue construction activity where possible adopting measures that could be maintained as per the local condition of the country.

2.23 EMP Implementation, Monitoring and Reporting

38. Monitoring of air, water and noise has been procrastinated due to monsoon season. Monitoring activities will be carried out in next semiannual. As most of the rivers are in swollen state, dust is suppressed due to rain and less noise generated due to delay in construction activity during monsoon.

39. EMP implementation and monitoring in the SHIP road packages has been observed satisfactory. The Project Directorate (ADB), DoR through CSC is responsible for the regular monitoring and reporting to ADB on the implementation of environmental mitigation measures described in the EMP and the findings of the environmental monitoring. Checklists were developed and used for monthly and quarterly monitoring. The filled monitoring checklists for both of the construction packages are presented in the Annex section. Whereas the compliance status with the EMP is presented in the Section 4 (Table 4-2 and Table 4-3).

40. CSC has conducted periodic site inspections to assess Contractor’s compliance to the EMP, advised the corrective measures, and reported to PD (ADB) DoR on the effectiveness of the mitigation measures and overall status of EMP implementation. Further, Contractors were asked to update the EMP submitted and fill-up the environmental compliance checklist that was provided earlier and submitted back to CSC regularly.
