Chapter 1 : ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Environmental and Social Management Action Plan (ESMP) is required to ensure sustainable development of the road during construction and operational phases. ESMP is site and time specific. For the proposed construction packages of the project road, ESMP has been designed for each cluster. The ESMP has two main component (i) Generic ESMP and (ii) Specific ESMP. The generic ESMP is applicable for all the road clusters, but the specific ESMPs are applicable only to the specific clusters. The generic and Specific ESMPs are being developed considering the operation policies of World Bank as well as the National Policies on Environment.

The implementation of ESMP is important. For this an institutional framework has been developed and roles and responsibilities of the various line departments are made. Some capacity development program are also identified as part of the ESMP as sub-project. The essence of the project is its proper maintenance during and post rainy season. This is also to be considered and need of community based implementation program suggested.

In general, SPIU of Osun state, Nigeria (with assistance from Contractor and Independent Engineer/Supervision Consultant) is the responsible entity for ensuring that the mitigation measures are carried out. Mitigation measures for generic impacts are listed in Table 1.1. The list provides reference implementing organisation and responsible entity.

1.1 SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES BY SPIU

The role of SPIU in the implementation of ESMP involves the following activities:

ESIA clearance from Federal Ministry of Environment, if required;

Clearance of ESIA from World Bank;

Disclosure of ESIA document in Nigeria as well as in the info shop of World Bank and

Permission from Forest Department for felling of trees, wherever applicable.

1.2 SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES BY CONTRACTOR

The activities to be performed by the contractor to implement the ESMP shall comprise the following:

Confirm the Tree Cutting Schedule based on the final design and provide modified schedule to SPIU.

Fell the trees after SPIU secures Forest Department permission, wherever applicable;

Fell the trees in farm land after SPIU provides necessary compensation to the farm land owners;

Finalizing the selection of material sources (quarry and borrow material, water, sand etc);( refer Annexure 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4).

Selection, design and layout of construction areas, abour camps etc. (Refer Annexure 1.6)

1.3 SITE SPECIFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN-CLUSTER-(ILESA Region)

1.3.1 Cultural Properties

In this project there is no impact on cultural property (e.g. church, mosque etc.). Impact on cultural properties during the road construction phase in the Corridor of Impact will be avoided through adequate scheduling of vehicles and construction machineries. Care shall be taken for the chance found cultural properties. It is the prime responsibility of the contractor to inform the SPIU’s Environment and Social safeguard specialist regarding the chance found cultural property so that necessary safeguard measure can be taken up.

1.3.2 Sensitive Features

Some section of the project road is passing through Sasha forest areas, which is a protected area. Tree felling at this section may require for the project road widening. The road within the Sasha forest section is however having sufficient RoW (around 6m) to accommodate the project. However,



| Page (2)



some tree cutting may be required not only for the project construction but also for the movement of construction vehicles, storage areas for construction materials etc. A compensatory afforestation of 2 trees per tree cutting shall be made at this section of project road.

1.3.3 Community properties

As such in this section no such community property is going to get affected due to the proposed construction of project road. There is no impact on ground water resources, school, water tank, palm oil production unit. However, one bus stop is going to get affected as part of the project. A new bus shelter to be provided for this section.

1.3.4 Farm Lands, Bushes and Tree cutting:

As such in this section no such farm land is adjacent to project has been identified. The farm land is at least 2-3m apart from the road sections and there are naturally grown bushes along the project roads. Private farm land owners shall be compensated if their land is going to be taken for this project for the loss of livelihood, if any.

1.4 IMPLEMENTATION OF ESMP

The Environmental Officer of the contractor should be available for the entire duration of the project and shall be primarily responsible for compliance of ESMP. The Environmental Specialist from the Independent Engineer/ Supervision Consultant shall monitor the compliance of the ESMP and all the design drawings of various civil structures shall be implemented after his approval. The proposed organogram for the implementation and monitoring of ESMP is presented in figure 1.1. The details of the implementation and monitoring schedule of ESMP are described in Chaper-2. The key issues that require special attention along with the mitigations to be implemented have been detailed in Table 1.1.

1.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME

The Environmental Monitoring Programme has been detailed out in chapter 3. Successful implementation of the Environmental Monitoring Program is contingent on the following:

The Independent Engineer is to request the Contractor to commence all the initial tests for monitoring (i.e. for Air, Water Quality and Noise Levels) early in the Contract to establish 'base' readings (i.e. to assess the existing conditions prior to effects from the Construction activities being felt).

The Independent Engineer is to request the Concessionaire / Contractor to submit for approval a proposed schedule of subsequent periodic tests to be carried out.

Monitoring by the Independent Engineer’s Officer of all the environmental monitoring tests, and subsequent analysis of results.

Where indicated by testing results, and any other relevant on-site conditions, IE to instruct the Concessionaire / Contractor to:

o Modify the testing schedule (dates, frequency) o Modify (add to or delete) testing locations o Verify testing results with additional testing as/if required o Require recalibration of equipment, etc., as necessary

o Request the Concessionaire to stop, modify or defer specific construction equipment, processes, etc., as necessary, that are deemed to have contributed significantly to monitoring readings in excess of permissible environmental "safe" levels.

1.5.1 Monitoring of Earthworks Activities

Most of the environmental problems related to the construction works are anticipated to be associated with the earthworks, particularly for the Quarries and Borrow Areas. Details regarding the guidelines and procedures adopted to minimise the environmental impacts of opening, operating and closing of Quarries and Borrow Areas are presented in Annexure 1.1 to 1.4. Other environmental effects associated with the earthworks including the development of adequate temporary drainage to minimise detrimental effects (e.g. erosion) due to run-off, and safety aspects related to Works implementation.

1.5.2 Monitoring of Concessionaire / Contractor's Facilities, Plant and Equipment

All issues related to negative environmental impacts of the Contractor's Facilities, Plant and equipment are to be controlled through:

The Contractor's self-imposed quality assurance plan

Regular / periodic inspection of the Concessionaire / Contractor’s plant and equipment

Monthly appraisal of the Contractor.

Other environmental impacts are to be regularly identified and noted on the monthly appraisal inspection made to review all aspects of the Contractor's operation. The officer is to review all monthly appraisal reports, and through the team leader is to instruct the Contractor to rectify all significant negative environmental impacts.

1.6 BUDGET

The environmental budget for the various environmental management measures proposed in the ESMP is detailed in Table 1-2. There are several other environmental issues that have been addressed as part of good engineering practices, the costs for which have been accounted for in the Engineering Cost. The rates adopted for the budget has been worked out on the basis of market rates and the Schedule of rates. Various environmental aspects covered/will be covered under engineering costs are listed below:

Turfing and Pitching of slopes

Construction of slope protection works as retaining walls; breast walls toe walls, drains, and gabions.

Construction of roadside amenities as bus stops etc.

Chapter 2 IMPLEMENTATION & MONITORING SCHEDULE

This chapter provides an assessment of the existing institutional arrangement within SPIU and, reflects on capacity building / training issues that need to be addressed to ensure timely implementation of ESMP. The institutional arrangement proposed for this project has been presented here with newly defined roles and responsibilities. The responsibility of implementing the mitigation measures lies with the SPIU, Osun State. All construction activities being taken up by the contractor through International Competitive Bidding. The Independent Engineer shall monitor the implementation of the work on behalf of SPIU. The contractor will be responsible for planning all Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) activities. In the pre-construction phase of the project the concessionaire shall study the ESMP to identify environmental issues and arrive at a suitable strategy for implementation.

2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CELL, SPIU

SPIU already has an organizational and institutional capacity at the headquarters created to meet the requirements for implementation of the environmental mitigation measures in the ESMP. As part of the project it is envisaged that they will continue to:

Monitor progress of the implementation of the ESMP measures in consonance with the timeline for the project within the allotted budget;

Maintain interaction with the various other statutory bodies like Federal Ministry of Environment and Forest Department and Land Revenue Department;

Interact with the Environmental Expert of the Independent Engineer on the state of the environment and mitigation and enhancement measures adopted;

The rationale for a reporting system is based on accountability to ensure that the measures proposed as part of the Environmental Management Plan get implemented in the project. Reporting system for the suggested monitoring program operates at two levels as:

Reporting for environmental condition indicators and environmental management indicators

Reporting for operational performance indicators at the SPIU site level.

The reporting system will operate linearly – contractor who is at the lowest rung of the implementation system reporting to the Concessionaire, who in turn shall report to IE and the SPIU as per figure 1-1. All reporting by the concessionaire shall be on a quarterly basis, while the reporting time of the contractor shall be decided upon by the concessionaire. The SPIU




Site Office will be responsible for setting the targets for the various activities anticipated during construction phase in consultation with the IE/SC and obtaining agreement from the Contractor after mobilisation but before beginning of works on site. The contractor will report from then on regarding the status on each of these. The SPIU Site Office will monitor the activities through its own staff or the consultant’s Environmental Specialist after it has obtained the Contractor’s report with the Consultant’s remarks on it during the construction phase. During the operation phase, the supervision as well as reporting responsibilities will lie with the SPIU Site Office.

Chapter 3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

Environmental monitoring is an effective tool in making necessary recommendations and adopt suitable control strategies so that menace of rising environmental pollution could be minimized and a relief be extended to the people including labours in case of any damage caused under occupational health hazards. The monitoring is necessary for the following reasons:

To assess what impacts have occurred;

To evaluate the performance of mitigation measures proposed in the ESMP.

To ensure that the conditions of necessary consent and approvals are adhered to.

To suggest improvements in management plan, if required

To see that benefits expected from the EA are achieved as the project proceeds.

To meet legal and community obligations.

3.1 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (PI) OF MONITORING

The physical, biological and social components, which are significant in affecting the environment at critical locations, have been suggested as Performance Indicators. The following specific environmental parameters can be qualitatively measured and compared over a period of time and therefore selected as Performance Indicators for monitoring due to their regulatory importance and the availability of standardized procedures and relevant expertise.

Ambient Air Quality

Noise Levels

Water Quality

Soil Quality

Plantation and Survival Rate

3.2 MONITORING OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

3.2.1 Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) Monitoring

The baseline air quality in these project sections do not show any significant pollution as the areas is still in a virgin condition. However, with the construction of roads there is estimation of movement of heavy vehicles during the construction phase as well chance of increase in induced traffic during the operation phase.

The major increase of pollution in the region during the construction phase would be dust as the existing roads are earthen in nature. Hence constant monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5 may be required. These parameters are to be monitored at selected locations such as plant and machinery sites, concrete mixer site excavation works, etc. starting from the commencement of construction activity. The chance of increase in other pollutants like SO2, NOx and CO but are estimated to be negligible and will be intermittent in nature during the construction stage.

However, during the operation stage monitoring is required to be done for all the parameters like Particulate Matter (Size less than 10micron or PM10), Particulate Matter (Size less than 2.5 or PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). These parameters need to be monitored at the first 5 years of the operation stage to establish a data bank to ensure that the project has not made any significant impact to the nearby settlements and vegetation. The monitored results are to be checked with the standards of FMEnv/State Ministry of Environment.

3.2.2 Ambient Noise Monitoring

The measurement for monitoring the noise levels to be carried out at sensitive locations and at construction sites along the project road in accordance to the Ambient Noise Standards of FMEnv/State Ministry of Environment. Sound pressure level would be monitored on twenty-four hour basis.




3.2.3 Water Quality

Water quality of local water resources that is used by local community shall be monitored.

The water quality during the construction phase shall be monitored at the major culvert construction site at the downstream mainly for pH, total solids, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids. In addition, the parameters like BOD, COD, Phosphate, Nitrate as well as E.Coli be monitored during the construction stage.

During the operation stage in order to capture information on impact on surface and ground water quality at least a trend shall be set for the first 3 years of the operation stage for 2 seasons in the year for the parameters as suggested in American Public Health Association (APHA)/State Ministry of Environment (Osun).

3.2.4 Soil Quality

The soil quality of the surround fields close to the construction site and plant site will be monitored to understand the impact of soil quality. The physic-chemical parameters recommended for analysis are physical Parameter: Texture, Grain Size, Gravel, Sand, Silt, Clay; Chemical Parameter: pH, Conductivity, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Nitrogen, Absorption Ratio.

3.2.5 Plantation and Survival Rate

The widening and up gradation of the project requires felling of roadside trees. This loss will be compensated by compensatory afforestation. The compensatory avenue plantation shall be made as per the guidelines of forest department. Two times of the tree cutting will be compensatory afforested (cost of the plantation budgeted in ESMP).

3.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING COST

A separate budgetary provision has been made for implementation of Environmental Monitoring Plan. The environmental monitoring cost is estimated based upon the environmental monitoring program being considered in Table 3.1. A budgetary provision of Naira 4.755 million has been kept for environmental monitoring during construction stages. For operation stage Naira 3.91 Million has been considered for first 5 years.

Annexure 1.2: Guideline for Rehabilitation of Quarries and Borrow Areas

Quarries and Borrow Areas

The contractor shall use materials from the existing and licensed quarry areas only. In case any new

quarries are opened by the contractor, he shall secure permissions for the same and shall follow the

rehabilitation plan.

The objective of the rehabilitation programme is to return the borrow pit sites to a safe and

secure area, which the general public should be able to safely enter and enjoy. Securing borrow

pits /quarry sites in a stable condition should be a fundamental requirement of the rehabilitation

process. This could be achieved by filling the quarry / borrow pit floor to approximately the

access road level.

It is important to plan restoration from the outset and coordinate restoration with quarrying

activities. In addition to the bio-diversity issues, land planning considerations are also taken into

account when defining a rehabilitation project in order both to preserve the environment and to

generate income for the local communities. In this framework quarry rehabilitation often leads to

the creation of wetlands and natural reserves or recreation areas.

Special quarry / borrow pit rehabilitation plan should be specified according to the location and

shaping of the mining slopes after exploitation and overburdened dump, with different

subsequent uses e.g. forest, meadow, water body etc., the re-greening and replanting methods..

Other criteria which should be followed for rehabilitation of quarry/ borrow pits are as given

below:

Quarries and borrow pits will be backfilled with rejected construction wastes and will be given a

vegetative cover. If this is not possible, then slopes will be smoothed and depression will be filled

in such a way that it looks more or less like the original ground surface.

During works execution, the contractor shall ensure preservation of trees during piling of

materials; spreading of stripping material to facilitate water percolation and allow natural

vegetation growth; reestablishment of previous natural drainage flows; improvement of site

appearance; digging of ditches to collect runoff; and maintenance of roadways where a pit or

quarry is declared useable water source for livestock or people nearby. Once the works are

completed, and at own expense the contractor and contractor shall restore the environment

around the work site to its original splits.

To create a safe environment, the faces of borrow pit excavation sites have to be reduced to a

naturally stable slope or be adequately fenced to prevent access to the top and bottom of the

faces. Such a fence must be of a height as prescribed under local mine act with a barbed wire

top strand designed to exclude the public from the quarry area. Depending on the location of the

site presence of a permanent lake is considered to be a satisfactory alternative to a fence.

Appropriate plant species for the planting programme have to be selected in consultation with

ecological consultant and local forest department and farm land owners for the loss of economic

trees made during the quarry and borrow operations.

(D) Guidelines for Stripping, Stocking, Preservation of Top Soil

During the excavation of the borrowing material contractor must ensure that the topsoil from all areas of cutting and all areas to be permanently covered shall be stripped to a specified depth of 150mm and stored in stockpiles. At least 10% of the temporarily acquired area shall be earmarked for storing topsoil. The stockpile shall be designed such that the slope does not exceed 1:2 (vertical to horizontal), and the height of the pile is restricted to 2m..

(E) Guidelines for Enhancement

As far as possible borrow area selected for enhancement shall be on government / community land in the vicinity of settlement. The contractor must ensure that any enhancement design proposed should be workable, maintenance free and preferably worked out in consultation with the community and proposed enhancement materials should be locally available. The borrow area can be developed either of the following:

Vegetative Cover:

Vegetative cover must be established on all affected land.

Topsoil must be placed, seeded, and mulched within 30 days of final grading if it is within a current growing season or within 30 days of the start of the next growing season.

Vegetative material used in reclamation must consist of grasses, legumes, herbaceous, or woody plants or a mixture thereof.

Plant material must be planted during the first growing season following the reclamation phase.

Selection and use of vegetative cover must take into account soil and site characteristics such as drainage, pH, nutrient availability, and climate to ensure permanent growth.

The vegetative cover is acceptable if within one growing season of seeding:

The planting of trees and shrubs results in a permanent stand, or regeneration and succession rate, sufficient to assure a 75% survival rate;

The planting results in 90% ground coverage.

The site shall be inspected when the planting is completed and again at one year to ensure compliance with the reclamation plan.

Certificate of Completion of Reclamation

Contractors have to obtained certificate of satisfaction from the landowner and submit it to the Engineer before final payment is to done.

Annexure 1.5: Guidelines for Sediment Control

Prior to the start of the relevant construction, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for approval, his schedules for carrying out temporary and permanent erosion / sedimentation control works as are applicable for the items of clearing and grubbing, roadway and drainage excavation, embankment / sub-grade construction, culverts and other structures across water courses, pavement courses and shoulders. He shall also submit for approval his proposed method of erosion / sedimentation control on service road and borrow pits and his plan for disposal of waste materials. Work shall not be started until the erosion / sedimentation control schedules and methods of operations for the applicable ' construction have been approved by the Engineer.

The surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing and grubbing, excavation, borrow and fill operations shall be limited to the extent practicable. The Contractor may be directed to provide immediate control measures to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation that will adversely affect construction operations, damage adjacent properties, or cause contamination of nearby streams or other watercourses. Such work may involve the construction of temporary berms, dikes, sediment basins, slope drains and use of temporary mulches, fabrics, mats, seeding, or other control devices or methods as necessary to control erosion and sedimentation.

The Contractor shall be required to incorporate all permanent erosion and sedimentation control features into the project at the earliest practicable time as outlined in his accepted schedule to minimize the need for temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures.

Temporary erosion, sedimentation and pollution control measures will be used to control the phenomenon of erosion, sedimentation and pollution that may develop during normal construction practices, but may neither be foreseen daring design stage nor associated with permanent control features on the Project.

Silt Fencing:

Silt fencing may be provided to prevent sediments from the construction site entering into the nearby watercourses. The silt fencing consists of geo textile with extremely small size supported by a wire mesh mounted on a panel made up of angle / wooden frame and post. It is expected a single person will be able to drive the angles by pressing from the top. The frame will be installed at the edge of the water body along which construction is in progress. Silt fencing is proposed for a length of 150m. This is based on the primary survey data inventory of cross drainage structures to be developed/replaced in the project. Depending on the length of the individual water body, the number of units of silt fencing to be installed is decided by the Independent Engineer. A typical drawing of silt fencing is given below:




Annexure 1.6: Guidelines for Siting & Layout of Construction Camp

(A) SITING

The contractor based on the following guidelines shall identify the location of the construction site.

The construction site shall be located:

The construction camps will be located at least 500 m away from habitations at

identified sites. The living accommodation and ancillary facilities for labour shall be

erected and maintained to standards and scales approved by the resident engineer.

On non-agricultural lands, as far as possible

Not within 1000m of either side of locations of Forest areas.

All sites used for camps must be adequately drained. They must not be subject to

periodic flooding, nor located within 300 feet of pools, sink holes or other surface

collections of water unless such water surface can be subjected to mosquito control

measures.

The camps must be located such that the drainage from and through the camps will

not endanger any domestic or public water supply.

All sites must be graded, ditched and rendered free from depressions such that water

may get stagnant and become a nuisance.
