4. RESULTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

4.1 Overview of Monitoring Conducted during Current Period

31. Internal environmental monitoring consists of two types. The first type consists of

visual inspections of things such as soil erosion, restoration of vegetation, solid

waste disposal and so on. The second type requires field sampling and lab analysis

for example water quality, air quality and noise levels. The field sampling and lab

analysis has been conducted, including air and noise and water quality during the

reporting period. Field inspections have been undertaken by the on-site

environmental and Health Safety team of Project Management Consultant including

one ARE and one Inspector headed by Resident Engineer and Environmental

Specialist on a regular basis. As far as contractors are concerned overall 4

members team at each sub project implement and monitor the Environmental,

Health and Safety that includes the Project Manager, Construction Manager, Site

Engineer and Site HSE Engineer.

32. The environmental monitoring was carried out by using, daily, weekly and monthly

EMP compliance (checklists) as well as through visual observations to get

information on the actual nature and extent of key impacts and the effectiveness on

mitigation and enhancement measures outlined in the Site Specific Environmental

Management Plans (SSEMP) and agreed by the Contractors under the contracts.

The SSEMP covered all the aspects mentioned in the project specific EMPs for

each project. The monitoring of noise and vibration, surface and groundwater, air

quality, flora and fauna, camp sites, top soil erosion, cultural heritage and safety

provisions are discussed in this section. All the subprojects are category B projects

and environmental approval from ADB was obtained.

33. A monthly monitoring checklist was prepared to assess the environmental impacts

of the projects on the surrounding environment. On careful review of this form,

inconsistencies and duplication of questions were corrected such that any “yes” answer indicates compliance and any “no” indicates no compliance. The “NA” or not applicable answers were also tallied; however, no reasons for non-applicability

were included, thus making these results less useful. To date the contractors have

prepared checklists till December, 2018 which have been checked by the site

Environment Specialist and submitted to the PMC. The analysis showed that non-

compliance was most often in the areas of traffic management, dust pollutions,

health and safety and contractors good housekeeping. The possible instruction

related to the non-compliance have been given to the contractors by Environmental

Specialist of PMC which the contractor rectified within given time frame. The

sample monthly monitoring checklist has been attached as Annexure III of this

report.




4.1.1 Air Quality

34. The major sources of air emissions are running vehicles on the road as well as

construction equipment and construction vehicles. The vehicles delivering granular

and/or fine materials to the sites, few are found not properly covered with tarpaulin

sheets. Overloading of these vehicles have also been seen at some places.

Vehicle speeds are generally controlled on construction sites, except package 3,

because of heavy traffic. Proper maintenance of vehicles and diesel equipment,

and avoidance of unnecessary running of vehicle and equipment engines are

adopted to reduce emissions. During the reporting period the monthly dust

emissions was checked at all construction sites including the sensitive areas. The

result has been annexed as Annexure IV.

35. The road on the construction sites are sprayed regularly by water trucks to

suppress dust. It requires daily schedule spraying, taking weather conditions into

consideration.

36. The potential sources of air pollution during construction are the vehicles, kick-off

dust, asphalt plant and crusher. Visual observations were noted to monitor water

sprinkling at dust prone areas during the construction activities. The occasional

sprinkling of water observed at all sites. The concerned contractors were advised to

take care to control the dust emissions. Visual observations were also made for

fitness of the vehicles to minimize the smoke emissions. The contractors’ environment specialists of each packages ensured that the dust should be reduced

to maximum possible level so that it may not affect the workers and the

surrounding environment including the native people.

37. Test Results of Ambient Air Quality from these different places are presented in

Annexure IV.

38. The result for ambient air quality monitoring shows the PM10, SPM, SO2, & NOX

concentrations of the ambient air. All the results are well with in SEQS limits.

39. During the month of October, the high particulate emissions were observed from

the asphalt plant installed at package 4 and 6. This was due to the chocking/failure

of the wet scrubber. The corrective action plan was made in order to control the

emission attached as Annexure I. The contractor successfully did the maintenance

of wet scrubber in given time frame.

40. Diesel vehicles were moving around, but the measured NOx level is under the

standard level. PM2.5 is composed of a mixture of primary and secondary particles,

Primary particles are emitted directly into the atmosphere and include soil-related

particles and carbon particles from fossil fuel combustion, and secondary particles

are Sulphate, nitrate, organic and elemental carbon, trace elements, ammonium

etc.

41. To reduce the generation of dust owing to movement of construction materials

including vehicles, water sprinkling must be carried out at all construction sites.

Movement of construction debris is to be covered while hauled and stored, and




roads should be properly cleaned and water sprayed in order to minimize dust in

air.

4.1.2 Water Quality

42. All the surface and ground water were being monitored to assess the damage

caused by the construction activities. The implementation of the preventive and

corrective measures which were mentioned in SSEMP, were monitored and

assessed in the field visits and environmental audits.

43. Arrangements for proper storage and disposal of solid waste were devised. Camp

areas were selected where adequate natural drainage was available. No surface

water or ground water contamination was reported due to oil spillages, solid waste

dumping or asphalt lying during the reporting period. Potable water was supplied to

the workers working at the sites. The compliance to the SSEMP was ensured

Monitoring of potable water for drinking purpose was being carried out. Whereas

the contractors have also agreed to arrange the guard rails around the water tanks,

to avoid any accident of spillage during the work course. Whenever, the landfills

are available, the scarified asphalt is to be disposed in the landfills.

44. The monitoring of drinking water has not been performed during this reporting

period.

45. The waste water from the labour camps have been disposed of properly through

septic tank. All the labour camps have provision of septic tanks.

4.1.3 Noise and Vibration

46. The contractors have taken measures to reduce noise levels and selected all the

equipment that generates low levels of noise however, all the construction

machinery should be properly maintained in order to have noise levels within

SEQS. Noise reduction devices or methods (e.g., hoarding) may be applied where

piling equipment is operating within 500 m of sensitive sites such as schools or

other receptors identified in SSEMPs of all sites. Concrete-mixing plants and

similar activities are located at least 300 m away from sensitive areas such as

residences, schools and hospitals. The noise quantity at construction site was also

measured at all the sub projects, which are within the permissible limits.

47. Implementation of the mitigation measures recommended in SSEMP to reduce the

impact of Noise and Vibration were observed. Construction activities situated close

to populated areas were limited to daylight hours only to minimize the impact of

noise. Prayer timings and school timings were observed specially in the areas

close to the mosques and schools along the carriageway during the construction

activities. Camp sites were established away from the residential areas.

Contractors were advised to keep their earth moving equipment in good condition

and to provide personal protective equipment like ear-plugs to the working staff at

noise generating sites. No noise and vibration related complaints from public or

workers were registered during the reporting period. As these projects are category




B projects, in addition to the above measures, compliance to the SSEMP. Special

field visits were carried out in order to assess the effectiveness of the protective

equipment used by the contractors for the workers. The safety signs and signage

were arranged by the contractors in order to warn people about the high intensity or

level of noise being generated by the machinery.

4.2 Trends

48. During the last reporting period the concentration of PM at package 4 and 6 was

slightly above the SEQS (Sindh Environmental Quality Standards) by which the

contractor was instructed to increase the water spraying frequency at the spotted

sites. During this reporting period, the concentration of PM found within the SEQS

limit. So the trend towards air quality is positive.

49. The result of noise quality remained same during this and previous reporting period

4.3 Summary of Monitoring Outcomes

50. The results of ambient air quality, noise shows the compliance with the SEQS. As

the project is towards the finishing stage and this is the last biannual report

therefore no additional monitoring is suggested.

4.4 Material Resources Utilization

4.4.1 Current Period

51. Key water using processes on construction sites are considered to be

accommodation at workers camp, site construction activities such as asphalt,

wearing course etc, Dust suppression and on site offices. The water consumption

is estimated for workers camp, dust suppression and site offices. Due to lack of

data the water useage for the asphalt wearing course or other construction activity

is not reported. The water consumption is given in Table 7

52. The diesel fuel consumption is considered on asphalt plant, road site construction

vehicles and backup power generation in site offices. The fuel consumption is given

58. The waste from empty container can be reduced if the transport fuel could be used

in tankers instead of containers. The tankers are more safe to transport in

comparison with containers.

59. Municipal solid waste can be reduce by using good practices such as going

paperless in offices, reduce the plastic bottles and reduce the amount of packaging

product. Moreover, the kitchen waste could be composted and use as manure in

gardening.

4.6 Health and Safety

4.6.1 Community Health and Safety

60. The safety of the local people is a major concern at the construction sites. The

contractor has placed the safety signs (speed limits, safety cautions, safety cones,

safety tapes etc.) on active construction sites. Few of the safety signs were placed

wrong in order on package IV and VI for which the corrective action plan has been

enforced. The related corrective action plan is attached as Annexure I. After the

implementation of corrective action plan, the contractor successfully placed the

safety signs at right places and directions in given time frame. Contractors also did

regular water sprinkling at all the sites. No minor or major accident were reported

from all the packages during this reporting period. The traffic operations are well on

all sites, since no complaint is received from the community in this regard.

Furthermore, no complaints have been received of damage to public/community

assets and infrastructure.

4.6.2 Worker Safety and Health

61. Implementation of EMP recommendations regarding the use of PPEs by

contractor’s site staff was also poor on all the packages. The Contractor have provided the PPEs to the workforce but there is lack of implementation in wearing

of PEEs. The contractor were instructed to train / motivate the workforce for the use

of PPEs and responsibility should be given to the site in charge for proper

implementation in wearing. However, no accident at any project has been reported

during the reporting period.

62. First Aid Kits were available at camp sites and work sites. A follow up visit was also

carried out to ensure compliance to the findings of previous audit. All non-

compliance matters and observations were addressed. It was advised to equip the

workers with proper protective equipment, and the safety signs to be display all

over the area.

63. The internal training on firefighting, tool box talks, PPEs wearing and first aid was

delivered to the contractor’s staff, and a fire drills were also carried out to demonstrate the use of different fire safety equipment.




4.7 Training

64. Regular internal HSE trainings were given to workforce by the contractor's

environmentalist. However, during this reporting period the external training on

HSE and Environmental Protection were only given at package 1 and 2.

65. The cumulative external trainings on all the packages are given in table below-:

5. FUNCTIONING OF THE SEMP

5.1 SEMP Review

66. The objective of establishing SSEMP is not only to propose appropriate mitigation

measures, but also to recommend establishment of institutions or mechanisms to

monitor and ensure compliance with environmental regulations and implementation

of the proposed mitigation measures with implementation schedule.

67. The contractor is mostly complying with the conditions mentioned in SSEMP,

However few lacking's were observed discussed below-:

There is week implementation of PPEs found on all the packages although

the contractors were provided the PPEs to the work force and therefore

negligence at the workers end. The contractor were given instruction that site

supervisor should take care of these issues and enforce the use of PPEs

during construction activities. After the instruction the situation on packages

were much improved except package IV and VI.

The monthly dust and noise monitoring is recommended in SSEMP, however

the dust and noise monitoring was not conducted for package 1,2,4 and 6 for

the month October to December.

The biannual monitoring of drinking water and ambient air is recommended in

SSEMP, however, this monitoring were also not conducted at all the

packages.

In the SEMPs, use of LPG cylinders was recommended, whereas use of

wood as fuel was discouraged. Use of wood was observed at different camp

site due to non-availability of LPG cylinders. Contractors were advised to

avoid any wood burning.

68. The SSEMP covered all the aspects and has been effective and also the project is

on finishing stage therefore no change is recommended.




6. GOOD PRACTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT

6.1 Good Practice

69. During reporting period no examples of good practice could be presented. All

performance was implemented within planned activities.

6.2 Opportunities for Improvement

70. Contingency and miscellaneous cost has been allocated in the EMP Mitigation and

Monitoring cost. As the project is towards finishing stage and this cost is not yet

used, therefore it is recommended to use this cost in indigenous tree plantation

along the sides of the road.




7. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Summary

71. During this reporting period, activities of road works constructions are in progress.

At the start of the construction, the contractors have partially fulfilled their duties

about Environment, Health and Safety issues but now things are better and

contractor is giving full attention to the mitigation measures and implementation of

environmental management and monitoring plan.

72. Environmental provisions have been incorporated into contracts of the works

constructions.

73. Field inspections by the Contractor, Management Consultants and PMU were

regularly made. Each of these has assigned manager in charge of environmental

management. They also serve as grievance focal points.

74. Project and contact information has been posted in the bulletin boards at all

construction sites. Public complaints can also be lodged in register and telephone.

To date, all the public compliant received has been resolved efficiently.

75. The monthly dust and noise monitoring is recommended in SSEMP, however the

dust and noise monitoring was not conducted for package 1,2,4 and 6 for the

month October to December. However, for the rest the dust and noise found within

SEQS limits

76. No containment is present on fuel storage tank on package I and II. The contactor

were given instructions after which the containment were formed and issue is

closed.

77. The issue of the housekeeping, dust and signage and bifurcation were found on

asphalt plant of package IV and VI. The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) has been

prepared and enforced for these issues after which the contractor has taken the

measures and issues were successfully closed.

78. Main Contractors camps and labour camps, storage areas and vehicle/machinery

places are being maintained according to prevailing Environment, health and safety

standards at all packages

79. All the HSE component status, during reporting period is satisfactory. No major

complaint and accident has been reported.

80. Copy of the, Camp site Guidelines, Grievance register and monthly SSEMP

Compliance Checklists was available at all the sub projects. A person designated

from the contractor’s side was present at each site to coordinate implementation of SSEMP recommendations and any first aid related issues.

81. No noise and vibration related complaints from public or workers were registered.




82. Construction activities close to populated areas were limited to daylight hours only

to minimize the impact of noise. The contractors should adhere to the agreement to

avoid any social conflict.

83. No surface water or ground water contamination was reported due to oil spillages,

solid waste dumping or asphalt lying during the reporting period. However, it is

recommended spill control equipment should be ensured at each campsite.

84. No flora and fauna was disturbed by the construction activity. No mortality of wild

animal was reported.

85. No cultural heritage sites/ wetland/ protected area/ mangrove/ estuarine lies in

RoW of any of the sub project alignment.

86. No damage to the agricultural land due to borrow pits or topsoil erosion was

reported.

87. Use of PPEs by contractor’s site staff still requires improvement. The Contractor

have provided the PPEs to the workforce but instructed to train / motivate the

workforce for the use of PPEs and responsibility should be given to the site in

charge for proper implementation in wearing.

88. During construction, special attention has been given in the areas where there are

encroachments on the roads side, to minimize the impact on the livelihood of the

locals. The contractors have aware of the problem and working accordingly.

89. The construction waste from the project site consists of asphalt waste, batteries,

containers/drums, excavated natural material, oil filters, motor oil, scrap material

and concrete waste. The waste from offices and labour camp consists of the

municipal waste both solid and liquid effluent. All waste has been disposed of as

per the plan described in section 4.5

90. Traffic management and safety is being given the top most priority in the overall

project corridor.

91. Child labor was not observed on any subproject. Contractors were advised to

discourage child labor in future as well. It was advised that Identity verification

should be carried out prior to hiring and the record should be maintained.

92. No complaints regarding transmission of Communicable diseases (such as STI’s and HIV/AIDS) were reported.

93. No ozone depleting substances are used. Only approved substances (chemicals

and technologies) are used having negligible significance to the climate change.

94. Overall no major conflict with the community was observed. Cordial liaison has

been maintained with local community.

95. Only one grievance has been received from package 5 during this reporting period

which were effectively resolved and all the complaints are closed.




7.2 Recommendations

96. Currently the contractor of Package 1,2,4 and 6 shows negligence towards regular

environmental monitoring program as per SSEMP. Semi-annually monitoring of

drinking water, monthly monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5 at all active construction

site and quarterly monitoring of ambient air quality (24 hours) at asphalt plant is

required at these packages to monitor air and water quality as per SSEMP.

97. All the plans established in SSEMP(s) must be implemented in full swing..

98. Regular internal and external audits are required along with routine visual

inspections and monitoring.

99. Contractors of all subprojects are required to arrange proper external training of

staff and maintain its record. During this reporting period, the external training was

only given on Package 1 and 2

100. Contractors are advised to motivate and train staff for the use of PPEs.

101. Traffic management and safety should be the top most priority in the overall project

corridor. The Traffic Management Plan should be available at all sites.

102. Spill control equipment should be ensured at each campsite.

EMP COMPLIENCE CHECKLIST




EMP COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST ANNEXURE - III:

As per the contract, contractor of each sub project has to prepare and submit monthly

environmental compliance reports to review EMP compliance of the project. This compliance

report should be part of the overall monthly project progress report. It was envisaged that

each contractor may opt different reporting format while submitting the monthly

environmental compliance. After discussion with the Team Leader and PMU it was decided

that a standard monthly progress report format may please be developed to monitor EMP

compliance of the sub projects. Contractors were also requested to submit their suggestions

for developing the reporting format. A format was thus developed and provided to each

Contractor. However, Contractors of Package 1, 2, 3 and 5 appointed Environmentalists in

July 2017, who are supposed to submit MPR regularly, based on the monthly environmental

compliance reports a six monthly environmental progress report should be prepared and

submitted to ADB.

This Semi-annual monitoring report is based on inspections, meetings with Contractor staff,

consultation and visual observations of Consultant’s Environmental Experts and environmental monitoring report from environmental laboratories

Simple checklist comprising 60 questions was developed to monitor monthly environmental

compliance of sub-projects. The checklist is generally based on the recommended

mitigations measures given in the EMP for environmental safeguard at different stages of the

project. Consultant identified about any impact on any environmental concern categorized in

the form of 1 for yes, 0 partially done and -1 for no for each month. Abstract of all of the

observations is presented as Annex II

Ideally each Contractor should compliance all of the mitigation measures. However,

considering the ground realities, i-e start of the project activities, unavailability of

Environmental and HSE staff with contractors following key is established to assess the

current compliance status.

60 = Excellent

50 – 59 = Good

40 – 49 = Average

30 – 39 = Below Average

> 30 = Unsatisfactory
