1. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMMP) IMPLEMENTATION STATUS ON PACKAGE III

This is the seventh “Bi-Annual Environmental Monitoring and Management (BAEMR) Report” of the Project “Construction of Hassanabdal (Burhan)-Havelian (Samlaila) Motorway, E-35 Package III (KM 39+611 to 58+ 711). This BAEMR covers the implementation status of Contractor’s compliance with SSEMMP/EMMP, ADB and GOP Environmental Safeguard Policies/guidelines from January-June, 2018 on Package III. Package III, E35 project was supervised and monitored by the concerned staff of NHA, ADB and Supervision Consultant. Advisory services are provided to Contractor staff in order to improve Contractor performance on EMMP implementation, Occupational Health and Safety compliances and to provide assistance in rectification of EMMP non-compliances (if any) at required sites. Contractor overall status of EMMP implementation is satisfactory based on that the Contractor has established project facilities (Camp, Concrete Batching Plants, and Asphalt Plants) as per guidelines of EMMP. The wastewater treatment system at camp and batching plants are provided with septic tank and soakage pit while wet scrubbers are provided at Asphalt plant to minimize impacts of dust/smoke emissions and waste effluents. Garbage is collected in drums and disposed off at approved disposal area. Clean drinking water is provided to all workers/staff at project facilities and at active construction sites. During the reporting period, special emphasis is given on Safety of the workers at work places. Safety Supervisors and Safety Inspectors are deployed and present at active construction sites in order to provide safety instructions to all staff/workers and to ensure safety at works. Safety measures like PPEs, fire extinguishers and sand buckets are provided at camp sites, asphalt plants and batching plants. Emergency contact numbers are displayed at facilities for any information/contact in case of emergency situations. Health facility like dispensary and first aid kits are provided at sites. Dispensary with adequate basic medicines and patient bed is provided at camp 3+500 while first aid kits are placed at asphalt plants, batching plants and active construction sites. Qualified and experienced paramedic staff is available for 24 hours at dispensary. Workshop and storage area are also kept as per EMMP requirements by providing impervious/concrete platform to avoid any oil/chemical spillage. Steel yard is maintained at camp sites. Bitumen/oil is stored in drums, tanks and kept on concrete platform. Storage areas are covered with sheds to protect from rains. Tool Box Trainings (TBTS) are regularly carried out in order to increase awareness in workers and ensure implementation of EMMP. Monthly and Bi Annual Environmental Monitoring Reports are submitted by both Contractor and Supervision Consultant to NHA and ADB


Package III, E35

During reporting period, no accident or fatality has been occurred due to improvement in contractor safety measures at site. Analytical monitoring of environmental parameters was carried out dated 19th-20th May, 2017. Contractor remains non complaint in order to not carry out the quarterly analytical monitoring of environmental parameters to date. SC sent several reminders to contractor for carrying out but to date the contractor remained not compliant regarding this EMMP requirement. 1.1. Project Background

The existing Hassanabdal – Mansehra Road is an important part of the entire

communication network of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and Northern Areas which links with

Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Kaghan Valley and China via “Karakoram Highway (KKH)”. Existing Hassanabdal - Mansehra Road is a three-lane single carriageway road with

a width of 10.5 meters. Heavy traffic load has been observed on this road since last ten

years. To support sustained growth and increase competitiveness, Government of

Pakistan (GOP) has taken a strategic approach to the transportation and has launched

a major initiative to improve the trade and transport logistics chain in KPK and Punjab.

National Highway Authority (NHA) planned to construct Hassanabdal -Mansehra

Expressway (E-35) as a part of “National Trade Corridor (NTC)” Project. The proposed project is financed by the “Asian Development Bank (ADB)” and Government of Pakistan.

This Express Highway project is entitled as “Hassanabdal – Havelian section of E-35”, and is a new highway alignment, which starts from Burhan Interchange of Islamabad-

Peshawar Motorway (M-1) and endse at Havelian near Hazara University. This Project

will connect and facilitate three districts namely Attack, Haripur and Abbottabad. It

curves away to north-west of existing N-35 passing near Shin Gali and Jabbar and then

curves back passing near Kuldarra, Chhaprian & Kalu Pind and finally crosses existing

N-35 at Jarikas. From here, it again curves away to north-east of existing N-35 crossing

Hattar and Khanpur Roads at Kot Najeebullah and Chichian respectively. Finally, the

alignment ends at Havelian near Hazara University, Havelian Campus. Total length of

the E-35 Phase-1 alignment (Hassanabdal - Havelian Section) is 57.06 Km with total

Right of Way (ROW) of 80m for first two Packages and 60m ROW for Package III.

The design speed of the Expressway E35 is 120 Km/hr. The new expressway is

intended to provide a safe, quick and more efficient passage to KKH/ Northern areas

and China via KKH. The new expressway E35 is intended to provide a safe, quick and

more efficient passage to KKH/ Northern areas and China via KKH. It will be a limited

access, six-lane dual carriageway facility with six lanes structures. It is located in mostly

plain and partly hilly terrain.

Express Highway project (57.6 km) is envisaged to be implemented in three packages whereas Package III total length is 17.01 Km (Sarai Saleh-Simlaila).

Currently construction on Package III is in progress. Express Highway (E-35) the

construction of Express Highway E35 Burhan to Havelian is a Project under the

“Pakistan National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program–Tranche 2

(Hassanabdal–Havelian Section)” of the Government of Pakistan sponsored/ funded by


Package III, E35

the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and DFID. The National Highway Authority is the

Client of the Project and the key responsible Government Department.

1.2. Project Description and Scope of Work and Conversion from 4 lanes to 6

lanes

Initially this Express Highway project was entitled as “Hassanabdal – Havelian section of

E-35” was a new highway alignment which starts from Burhan Interchange of

Islamabad-Peshawar Motorway (M-1) and finally alignment is ended at Havelian near

Hazara University of Hazara Campus. On 29th April 2016, ADB has issued approval of 6

lanes motorway. Right of way of project will be identical and 6 lanes will be constructed.

This Project will connect and facilitate three districts namely Attack, Haripur and

Abbottabad. It curves away to north-west of existing N-35 passing near Shin Gali and

Jabbar and then curves back passing near Kuldarra, Chhaprian & Kalu Pind and finally

crosses existing N-35 at Jarikas. From here, it again curves away to north-east of

existing N-35 crossing Hattar and Khanpur Roads at kot Najeebullah and Chichian

respectively. Finally, the alignment ends at Havelian near Hazara University, Havelian

Campus. Total length of the E-35 alignment (Hassanabdal - Havelian Section) is

57.06Km with total Right of Way (ROW) of 80m to Package I & II (39.5Km) while 60m

for remaining 17.01 Km (Package III). The design speed of the Motorway M35 is 120

Km/hr. The new motorway is intended to provide a safe, quick and more efficient

passage to Northern areas of Pakistan and China via the Karakoram Highway (KKH).

1.2.1. Package III

Package III comprises the construction of 6 lane carriage way from Sarai Saleh to Simlaila. The carriage way will be facilitated with inner shoulders with 1.00 M and outer sides 2.5 M width.
