C. Institutional Arrangements of the Project

6. The major tasks of the PIU ES are to carry out the overall environmental management ensuring full

compliance of the Project implementation with Armenian legislation and ADB SPS (2009). The ES

serves as a liaison between the safeguard team of Egis International Company, YM, the executing

agency, MNP of the RA and Ministry of Culture of the RA, project affected people, ADB and develops

and maintains direct relationships with government authorities, with the help of Engineer ES

organizes and conducts public consultations, etc. PIU ES Ruzanna Voskanyan manages all

construction site activities related to the environmental issues and PIU land acquisition and

resettlement specialist Sirak Gyulbudaghyan manages all resettlement and social aspects issues.

7. Engineer environmental management team is responsible for the preparation of environmental

assessment of Tranche 2 documents and is responsible for environmental supervision of construction

works for Davitashen-Ashtarak road link Tender 4. Marta Lazarska international ES and Edita

7

Vardgesyan national ES are implementing supervision of the construction works of Davitashen-

Ashtarak road link Tender 4. Hasmik Alexanyan, social specialist of the supervision company, is

responsible for all aspects of the social issues.

8. Contractor’s ES David Harutyunyan is responsible for the preparation and implementation of the

SEMP in accordance with IEE/EMP, monitoring of the construction activities for Tender 4.

Contractor’s ES reports to Engineer ES after which the Engineer ES reports to PIU ES. Sona

Poghosyan, social specialist and Nona Davtyan, assistant to social specialist are responsible for all

aspects of the social issues during the construction.

II. Environmental Management

A. Environmental Safeguards Program

9. The implementation of the environmental safeguards program started in October 2015 and was in

progress during the reporting period.

10. The third updated version of SEMP for Davitashen-Ashtarak road link Tender 4 was submitted by

Contractor on 20 December 2017. The submitted version contained general environmental

management as well as key management plans, such as for the handling of asbestos-contaminated

waste which shall be generated as a result of demolition works. The SEMP was returned for revision

because many required receptor specific plans were not included, like Tree management plan,

updated Traffic Management Plan, YM permission for garbage disposal. The revision of SEMP is in

process and shall be re-submitted by Contractor in the beginning of the next reporting period in 2018.

11. In addition to the above, a contract was signed with Egis international for additional noise and

vibrations modeling to be completed to ensure the all sub-projects in Tranche 2 are in compliance

with ADB safeguard requirements during construction (vibration and operation). The finalizations of

results are in process and should be provided during next reporting period in 2018.

a. ADB mission

12. An ADB mission to check compliance of Tender 4 activities to the ADB SPS (2009) safeguard

requirements took place on 13 July, 18 August, 16 and 17 November 2017; and 14 December 2017.

The mission was implemented by ADB international and national ESs, PIU ES, Engineer’s ES and

Contractor’s representatives also joined the mission. The mission visited the construction site at

8

8

Davitashen-Ashtarak road link. The recommendations of the mission audit on further actions were

related to:

Community access across the construction zone. A Safety Stand-Down and Toolbox Talk for all

site staff were requested to be completed immediately by the Contractor following an incident

where children were seen on the construction site. The Stand-Down was to make sure that all

members of staff know that children are not allowed on site and should be escorted off site when

they are seen.

The Engineer and Contractor were informed and the mitigation measures were implemented.

Contractor tried to contact the family of the girl detected on-site but this was not possible

because they moved to another district in Yerevan by the end of December 2017. Contractor

will be performed an additional training of the foremen and instructed to hinder the presence

of children and other non-authorized people on-site and increased the number of prohibiting

posters. The implementation of the instruction should be checked daily by Engineer's site

inspectors and by the PIU/Engineer's ESs during upcoming site visit.

Asbestos management plan has not been approved by Engineer and PIU. After Engineer’s

approval it should be added to the SEMP.

Procedure on handling asbestos-containing waste was included in the SEMP and submitted to

Engineer and PIU. The SEMP is under review.

ADB has not received the updated methodology of pre-construction survey. However Contractor

practically has finished the survey of the properties based on the methodology (only small section

is unfinished). Supervision Consultant has invited a meeting with Contractor to discuss this issue.

Final methodology should be finalized as soon as possible and submitted for ADB’s review.

Based on approved methodology by Engineer on 20 April 2017 the survey is in progress: pre-

construction stage is completed and the post construction stage should be completed after of

completion of construction work.

Full commencement and access to all construction sites, except of two land plots was issued on

18 July 2017. Upon receiving complaint from Mesrop Poghosyan it was agreed that construction

works will not be started within 200 meters parameter around his house. However, during site visit

it was noticed old gas pipes removal as well as the new pipes installation works near AP’s house.

However, it does not matter if such types of works are under main Contractor’s scope and

responsibilities or different type of utility owners. All types of works related to the project should be

stopped near the AP’s house.

The Gas Company was not carrying out project related work and was doing operational

maintenance of its system which is within the scope of company's responsibility. Neither

Contractor nor PIU are authorised to stop such kind of works. The re-location of utilities and/or

9

9

any other Project related civil works have not been implemented by Contractor within the

above mentioned footprint.

Construction mud is penetrating to streets and roads. Proper mitigations provided in the EMP

should be implemented.

Contractor was instructed by PIU/Engineer to strictly follow the mud spread preventive

measures envisaged in IEE/EMP (Table 1 9. Traffic and access management plan, para

12.Vehicle movements on and off construction site and SEMP (Risk assessment table, Earth

works, digging-loading works and heavy machinery operation). The Contractor responded that

the measures are underway. The implementation of the Engineer's instruction should be

checked daily by Engineer's site inspectors and by the PIU/Engineer's ESs during upcoming

site visit.

On the bridge construction work sites Contractor does not follow health and safety

requirements. Occupational health and safety mitigation measures should be in place.

The Notice on Safety Violation was issued to Contractor. The mitigation measures are under

implementation and shall be checked daily by the site inspectors.

Mainly the trucks carrying excavated materials are using covers, but several trucks were

mentioned without them. All trucks should use covers.

The Contractor was requested to strictly follow the mitigation measures envisaged in IEE/EMP

(Table 1 9. Traffic and access management plan, para 12.Vehicle movements on and off

construction site and SEMP (Risk assessment table, Earth works, digging-loading works and

heavy machinery operation). The Contractor responded that the measures are underway. The

implementation of the Engineer's instruction should be checked daily by Engineer's site

inspectors and by the PIU/Engineer's ESs during upcoming site visit.

b. Archaeological Works Program, Tender 3

13. N/A for the reporting period

c. Grievance Redress Mechanism and Public Consultation

14. For feedback, concerns and complaints from the APs, a GRM, inspired by the problem solving

function of ADB’s guidelines and policies should be maintained for the duration of the Project. The

GRM is intended to assist aggrieved persons in lodging their complaints and to describe the

mechanism designed to redress their grievances in a timely and effective manner. The parties

10

10

potentially involved are: the complainants, Contractor, Engineer, PIU, EA, NGOs, and the courts. The

details of the GRM operation could be found in EIA for Tender 3 and in IEEs of Tender 4 and 51.

15. A proper GRM has been established to meet environmental related concerns of affected people in

Davitashen-Ashtarak road link Tender 4. The availability of the logbook and registered complaints in

the Contractor’s field office was regularly checked during the monitoring site visits.

16. During the reporting period a second public hearing was organized by the Contractor’s EHSS

under the Davitashen-Ashtarak road link Tender 4 held on 31 July 2017 in Davitashen community.

General social and environmental issues, GRM had been discussed with APs. APs were informed

that the grievance redress mechanism to address the complaints/suggestions of APs on excessive

dust, noise, improper waste dumping and on other construction related issues is established by the

Contractor. Also special posters with contact information are posted at highly visible places next to

residential area (Please see below pictures). The posters are informing that in order to ensure

permanent communication with APs the complaints register log-books are kept available at the

Contractor's mobile on- site offices. No environment related concerns were raised by the participants

of the pre-construction public hearing.

17. During this reporting period there were some verbal complaints from the affected people such as

dust and noise, unpleasant odour and road design (access and overpass issues) which were

effectively treated according to the adopted procedure. Contractor was insistently requested to take

measures to control dust and to implement mitigation measures to reduce dust emissions during the

construction process. The corrections were suggested by the PIU/DESC ES during the monitoring

visits. More intensive measures are taken to reduce the dust emissions (frequent water spraying),

noisy works were scheduled to the time when the AP was not at home, the unpleasant odour was

resulting from the opened sewage pipe, and the issue was solved. The design related issues were

discussed with Engineer and resolution provided to AP. No further complaints related to dust or noise

were registered in GRM log-book or expressed verbally from impacted population after the measures

were implemented by the Contractor.

18. During the reporting period complaint for tender 4 (see below table 1) regarding cracks were

addressed by the Contractor’s, Supervision Engineer’s social specialists coordinated by Sirak

Gyulbudaghyan - PIU land acquisition and resettlement specialist.

28. Contractor’s Environmental Monitoring Procedures and Health and Safety Management. In

accordance with the IEE/EMP, and the Contractor's SEMP, the Contractor is required to undertake

parametric instrumental measurements and observations on dust, noise, vibration and water quality,

Locations for the measurements were identified in the SEMP approved by RE on 28 April 2017.

Measurements are being implemented through the contracted specialized laboratory of

“Lernametalurgiayi Institute” company two times per month. Frequency can be re-considered

depending on necessity.

29. The measurements are being implemented according to approved SEMP at the points specified

and agreed with Engineer before starting measurements (see the location of points at the map

included in Annex 5). Baseline dust, noise & vibration measurements were performed by the certified

noise and vibration specialized consultant at 5 locations which are recognized to be sensitive receptor

(hospital, residential private houses and buildings) found along Project corridor. According to the

contract the specialized monitoring company implemented the measurements in accordance with the

approved measurement of environmental parameters: air pollution, noise, vibration plan during the

reporting period July-December 2017. For the operational measurements performed by

“Lernametalurgiayi Institute” company the same points were selected from the 5 baseline points: the

measurement points were determined prior starting each measurement based on the principle of on-

going civil works and complaint of APs if any (but not less than 4 points). The results were compared

with Armenian legislative standards and with the baseline level of the same point

30. During the reporting period the measurements were implemented on 12 and 23 of July, 07 and 29

of August, 15 of September, 09 of October, 27 of November and 08 of December 2017. The reports

containing data on the measurements are provided to PIU/Engineer and are available at

PIU/Engineer's office. The levels of dust, noise, vibration and emitting pollutants (SO2, NO2 and NO)

have been tested using the following equipment’s:

Ассистент-TOTAL №168613 noise meter-vibro meter equipment,

Dust level has been measured by aspirator ПУ-4Э №5839 and АФА В-10 filter papers

gravimetrical method,

Emission gases have been measured by MRU Optima 7 №306732 equipment.

16

16

31. The summary of the measurements can be presented as follows: Noise levels recorded during

daytime periods were generally above the average equivalent levels taken during baseline collection.

Although in a number of cases the noise levels are above project standards (3dB above baseline),

impacts are not evaluated significant as works at each location were short-term and no complaints

were received from local residents. Nevertheless, to further reduce noise impacts Contractor was

instructed to follow the mitigation measures set in the IEE/EMP which are mostly being implemented

by the contractor:

I. Noisier activities are located away from sensitive receptors where practicable.

II. The operation of noisy equipment is scheduled to daylight hours in the areas of presence of

sensitive receptors.

III. The movement of heavy vehicles through residential areas is restricted, the common public

roads are mostly being used.

IV. Technical state of machinery and availability of effective exhaust silencing systems on

vehicles is being regularly inspected.

V. The installation of the temporary hoarding around noise sources was not needed. The

measure shall be applied if other mitigation measures are not sufficient or practicable.

32. Measurement is not implemented during night time as no construction is implemented during

night time. Noise measurements are conducted for closest sensitive receptors located near the

construction sites. The locations of measurement points are selected from the 5 baseline points

before every monitoring measurement based on the criteria of on-going civil works (at least 4 points)

during the reporting period.

33. According to the results instrumental measurements the vibration acceleration exposures were

mostly equal or slightly exceeded the baseline level and were far below the legislative norms at the all

measurement locations. Data has been compared with Maximum Permissible Level (MPL) (Հ Ն N

2.2.4-009-06) Armenian standard. Instrumental measurement, analysis and evaluation of results are

carried out in accordance with the national regulations, the most relevant of which being:

Hygienic Norms №2-III-11.3 “Vibration in the workplaces, in residential and public buildings”.

The results of vibration instrumental measurements are being compared with the Armenian legislative

sanitary health norms and impacts were not significant during the reporting period. With regards to

structures, impacts are being assessed against pre-construction condition (as surveyed) and no

significant issues have been identified to date.

34. Operational dust emissions were also measured for closest sensitive receptors located near the

construction sites at the locations selected from 5 baseline points.. Although being mostly within the

17

17

permitted standards the dust level in some cases exceeded (for the point Dust 3 at Km 0+350 for up

to 3 times) Armenian legislative standards required for residential areas. Contractor was required and

was implementing intensive water spraying at the exposed areas. The subsequent monitoring

showed that the dust emissions were not excessive and dust suppression measures were effective.

35. Detailed information on the results of regular monitoring measurements are available at

Contractor’s and Engineer's offices being attached to the Contractor’s monthly progress reports and

are summarized in Annex 5 of the present report.

B. Non-compliance Notices

36. One formal non-compliance notice was issued to Contractor regarding the violation of safety

during the reporting period. All the non-conformances which were detected during the upcoming

monitoring visits are treated according to the adopted procedure. Contractor was being requested via

PIU/Engineer’s monitoring report to correct the non-conformances within the deadline set for

correction and was warned that otherwise the non-compliance notice shall be issued. Correction was

checked during the PIU/Engineer's ESs upcoming site visits.

C. Corrective Action Plans

37. During the reporting period construction site monitoring visits were held by Engineer ES once a

week and by PIU ES on 29.07.2017, 16.08.2017, 28.09.2017, 12.10.2017, 15.11.2017 and

14.12.2017 in Davitashen-Ashtarak road link Tender 4 (see Annex 2: Status of the previous weekly

environmental site monitoring report). Site monitoring visits were conducted with ADB, PIU, Engineer

and Contractor ESs on 13 July, 18 August, 12 October, 16 and 17 November and on 14 December

2017.

38. Corrective actions were requested from Contractor to address each non-conformance found

during monitoring (see Annex 3: Corrective action plan for Tender 4). Improvement of the detected

non-conformances was checked during the next site visit. The summary of the corrective actions

addressed/ not addressed by Contractor during the reporting month were presented in Engineer's
