EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Government of Chhattisgarh (GoCG) plans to improve about 916 kms of the state road

ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) and environmental assessment guidelines 2003. The

civil work contract has been awarded for all four packages (Package-16 to 19).

The package-16 & 19 were handed over to contractor on 20th April 2015 and the physical

progress on these packages are 29.68 % and 26.28 % respectively whereas package 17 & 18,

which were handed over to contractor on 13th April 2016, have achieved physical progress 0.49

% and 1.13 % respectively as contractors were mainly engaged in preconstruction activities like

mobilization of plants and equipment’s, construction of camps, establishing of laboratories, erection and commissioning of plants, marking of centerline, checking of GPS pillars,

benchmarks etc. The cuttings of trees are being carried out and almost completed. Supervision

Consultant, through its environmental expert and site staff is monitoring the implementation of

environmental issues. The contractors have also been asked to nominate one of their staff as

Environmental Safeguard Officer so that he may be guided /trained in EMP implementation.

The one day workshop on social and environmental safeguard issues was organized by

consultant on 30.04.2016 in ICT Project Office, Bilaspur with an aim to improve compliance with

Safeguard Measures provided in contract documents and as agreed with ADB. The issues

related to Implementation of Environmental Management & Monitoring Plan (EMMP) and social

aspects were covered by Environmental Specialist and Social Specialist of ICT Pvt. Ltd. The

PIU staff, supervisory/field staff of consultant, concerned and Contractor’s key staff along with their environment & social safeguard officers were invited to attend the program.

the project. The GRM include formation of District level Grievance Redress Committee (GRC)

comprising of District Commissioner, revenue official, forest official, public representative and

respective nodal officer from PWD.

The Group-C projects falls in five district namely Janjgir-Champa, Bilaspur, Mungeli, Kabirdham

and Baloda Bazar District. The Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) has been formed in all

five districts. The contractors have been advised take care of environmental issues emerging

by execution of project and strictly adhere to the provisions of EMP and FIDIC conditions to

minimize negative impact on surrounding.

The Supervision Consultant has assessed the implementation of EMMP during the reporting

period as partially satisfactory because there is partial compliance by contractor on issues like

safety arrangements, traffic management and usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) by

the construction workers of Package-16 to 19.

Supervision Consultant, through its environmental expert and site staff is monitoring the

implementation of environmental issues on package-16 to19 which have been awarded

and construction activities are being carried out by contractor. The contractors were

asked to nominate one of their staff as Environmental Safeguard Officer so that he may

be guided /trained in EMP implementation. The supervision consultant submits

Monthly/Quarterly progress report to PWD that includes information on implementation

of environmental issues. The environmental information captured in these reports

includes environmental monitoring status of construction sites, pollution control measure

being adopted, and measures for workers safety at construction site and camp site,

safety of road user/public etc. The Supervision Consultant has assessed the

implementation of EMMP during the reporting period as partially satisfactory because

there is partial compliance by contractor on issues like safety arrangements, traffic

management and usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) by the construction

workers. The statutory permissions are also to be obtained for the construction plants

being erected by contractor, for extraction of ground water, for borrow/quarry areas etc.

dust suppression and camp site management. The contractors of Package-16 to 19 have

been asked to obtain all remaining statutory permissions, to conduct HIV/AIDS

awareness program regularly at site, to conduct Environmental Monitoring as per

environmental monitoring plan provided in contract and to provide PPE to all workers and

ensure its use by them. The Contractors assured to put all efforts to comply with the

EMP/Contractual requirements. The Supervision Consultant has assessed the

implementation of EMMP during the reporting period as partially satisfactory because

there is partial compliance by contractor on issues like safety arrangements, traffic

management and usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) by the construction
