Figure 3. The working schedule of the EEM

As shown in table 3, the monitoring has been executed using 32 measures, which are divided into

eight groups. 17 out of the 32 measures were mentioned in EMaP, EMoP and EAO. The remaining 15

measures were stated in the DEIAR.

1. Minimization and mitigation of adverse impact on air and its control

2. Minimization and mitigation of adverse impact on soil and its control

3. Minimization and mitigation of adverse impact on water and its control

4. Minimization and mitigation of adverse impact from waste on the environment and its control

5. Minimization and mitigation of adverse impact from natural risks on the environment and its

control

6. Minimization and mitigation of adverse impact on the socio-economy and public, its control

7. Minimization and mitigation of labor safety and security risk and its control

8. Minimization and mitigation of environmental delict and its control

The implementation period of the mitigation measures has been divided into three different phases:

1. Beginning of the project 6 measures

2. End of the project 4 measures

3. During the project 22 measures

Six measures out of 32 need to be implemented at the beginning of the project. 4 and 22 measures

should be performed at the project end, and during the project, respectively. That means 69% of the

EMMs have to be conducted during the project implementation, which requires good EAO of the

contractor.

This monitoring was the 2nd phase of EEM. Therefore, 5 measures, which have to be implemented at

the end of the project, and belong to the specialist, were not monitored. According to the EEM

schedule, these 5 measures will be monitored in the 3rd phase of EEM that is shown in figure 2.

Therefore, the implementation of the EMaP of the contractor was evaluated by 27 measures, which

had to be implemented until now. Hand-held GPS units were used for spatial referencing of the water

reservoir, water source and treatment plan of “Bayanhongor” sub-project.

The monitoring results in the table are read as below.

Planned measure 1:

The requirement in row 1 of this table is stated in 6.1.3 section of EMaP. It has to be done for the whole period of the project implementation. The aforesaid cost was planned to spend for the

action before the project, and the actual cost was calculated based on bills. It assessed as “Satisfactory” by the auditing of an environmental external specialist based on the actual costs. This

assessment is only for cost auditing, not for implementation of environmental action. The facts are enclosed in this report and explanation of assessment was written in a last column of the report.

15 measures with the cost were written in the EMaP of the sub-project, and a total of 29530000 T was

planned to be spent. From that amount of money, 330000 T had to be spent for water monitoring

research, as mentioned in EMoP. The pollution monitoring will be executed by the specialist, who was

chosen by the PMU. The EMoP says that the remaining 29200000 T has to be spent for the rest of the

measures, which should be implemented by the contractor. The following table shows a breakdown of

the planned costs that belong to the contractor.

Figure 6. Numerical expression of the EMoP monitoring result

As shown in the aforesaid table and figure, the contractor is spent the planned cost in progress. For the

following reasons, it was impossible to evaluate the implementation of the EMM of the contractor

based on the EMoP monitoring result. i) the planned cost was too general and unclear, ii) the cost was

different than the recent market price (maybe it is related to the time that the DEIA was made) and iii)

in some cases; it was not necessary to spend. For instance:

1. In the first row of the EMoP monitoring result, 200000 T was planned to spend for controlling

the emission of exhaust fumes from motor vehicles. However, 283500 T was spent for that. It

means the contractor overspent the budget before the accomplishment of the project. Maybe, it

is related to the inflation.

2. In the third row of the EMoP monitoring result, the measure was impossible to assess, since

this measure should be implemented by the specialist, not the contractor.

Thus, it is impossible to evaluate the implementation of the EMM of the contractor based on the

EMoP monitoring result. Also, we should consider the results of monitoring the implementation of

EMaP.

The result of environmental pollution monitoring

The environmental pollution monitoring has been executed in the area where the “Bayanhongor”

water-supply sub-project is implemented. The aim of this monitoring was to examine the impact of the

sub-project on the environment. The monitoring was conducted in the following three environs and

ОxОcutОН by tСО “Us-OrcСin” Co LtН., unНОr tСО РuiНancО of the specialist. Based on EMaP and

EMoP, a work task has been developed as follows:

1. Water quality

2. Air quality

3. Soil quality

3 Particulate matter PM10 µg/m3 65 100 0,65 unpolluted

Air quality measurement has been calculated with the air-quality index.

Table 9. Results of air quality index

Conclusion:

1. Based on a comparison with MNS 4585:2007, all air-quality parameters at the center of the

Bayanhongor aimag were assОssОН as “unpollutОН," mОaning they did not exceed the

permissible level. According to the index assessment, it was evaluated as “РooН”. 2. In fact, the monitoring period was in cold season. Therefore, air pollution sources were

operated and due to the open wind, the pollutant elements were easily dispersed.

Soil quality:

The monitoring has been done at the 2 places where the chlorination place and treatment plant are

situated, on 29th of October, 2012. 1 m

2 area on each site, that might have been polluted, was selected

for soil quality sampling. Five samples from each site were taken by the grid method and then mixed

them into one sample.

2. Texture and humus were not involved in the evaluation of quality, since these parameters can

be different in variety of places due to natural conditions.

3. The aim of soil sampling and analyzing was to determine the impact of the sub-project on the

environment. Therefore, heavy-metal analysis was done. Based on the laboratory analysis, it

can conclude that soil is unpolluted.

Water quality:

The monitoring has been done on 29th of October, 2012. According to the standard method, 1 l water

sample has been taken from hydro-kiosk and transported to the capital and analyzed the laboratory.

Figure 10. Water quality sampling

In total, 18 parameters, including variables in the work task, were analyzed in the laboratory, and the

results compared to the MNS 900:2005.

Table 2. Results of water quality analysis

Conclusion:

1. Aiming for determination of water quality for population of Bayanhongor aimag, water

sample has been taken, analyzed, and compared to the MNS 900:2005.

2. Based on a comparison with MNS 900:2005, all water-quality parameters were assessed as

“unpollutОН," meaning they did not exceed the permissible level. Therefore, we can conclude

that the water can be used for drinking purpose.

CONCLUSION

The following conclusions have been drawn for the EMM regarding the “Bayanhongor” water supply

improvement sub-project based on the 1st phase of monitoring of EMaP and EMoP. Herein:

1. In total, 32 EMMs of the sub-project has been monitored. Thirty one out of the 32 measures

should be implemented by the contractor. Four out of 31 actions were irrelevant to the 2nd

phase. Therefore, these were not monitored. The remaining 27 measures have to be

implemented until now. 19 out of 27 measures were assessed as satisfactory, 1 of them was

evaluated as incomplete and 7 were valued as unsatisfactory. Therefore, we can conclude that

70% of the measures were implemented.

2. The environmental responsibility was assigned to Ms. Kh.Ariuntuya, “ChMM” Co LtН., anН she has been done several actions according to the report on the previous monitoring.

Therefore, the overall evaluation of EMM of the contractor was ОvaluatОН as “C-average". In

further, the activities which assessed as incomplete and unsatisfactory, should improve.

3. According to the overall evaluation of EMM, the PMU can require the contractor to improve

environmental responsibility and implement EMM of the project.

4. Seven measures, these assessed as unsatisfactory, were related to the waste management, road

sign, soil moisturizing and environmental management. Old ways of removing various kinds

of waste, such as the use of landfills, runoff, burning and blowing, should be replaced by more

modern-mobile ways. It will drastically improve the evaluation of EMM of the contractor.

5. The unassessable one measure for the monitoring research was not reflected in the overall

evaluation. These will be implemented by the specialist, who was selected by the PMU.

6. One measure, this assessed as unsatisfactory, was related to the environmental delict. Thence,

we can conclude that information about environmental management; finance is inadequate and

EAO of the contractor is weak.

7. The contractor should pay attention to permanent use of safety clothes and instruments of the

workers.

8. The measures, those assessed as incomplete and unsatisfactory, can be improved by an

initiative of the contractor and collaboration between the PIU and the contractor.

9. Based on the results of monitoring the budget expenditure of the environmental monitoring

plan, total used money is lower than the planned. It is related to the sub-project extension.

10. According to the results of the environmental pollution monitoring, the project has a positive

impact on surrounding environment.

11. The contractor has been spent more than the planned budget on some environmental

mitiРation mОasurОs. TСО Оxtra cost for tСО EMM won’t bО rОimbursОН. Recommendations, which were based on the conclusions and observations during the monitoring, are

written at the end of this report.

The implementation period of the mitigation measures has been divided into three different phases:

1. Beginning of the project 6 measures

2. End of the project 10 measures

3. During the project 18 measures

Six measures out of 34 need to be implemented at the beginning of the project. 10 and 18 measures

should be performed at the project end, and during the project, respectively. That means 53% of the

EMMs have to be conducted during the project implementation, which requires good EAO of the

contractor.

This monitoring was the 2nd phase of EEM. Therefore, 5 measures, which have to be implemented at

the end of the project, and belong to the specialist, were not monitored. According to the EEM

schedule, these 5 measures will be monitored in the 3rd phase of EEM that is shown in figure 11.

Therefore, the implementation of the EMaP of the contractor was evaluated by 29 measures, which

had to be implemented until now. Hand-held GPS units were used for spatial referencing of the water

source, hydro-kiosk and treatment plan of “Govi-Altai” sub-project.

2 Nitrogen dioxide NO2 µg/m3 30 85 0.35 unpolluted

Air quality measurement has been calculated with the air-quality index.

Table 10. Results of air quality index - ГА4

Conclusion:

1. Based on a comparison with MNS 4585:2007, all air-quality parameters at the center of the

Govi-Altai aimag were assОssОН as “unpollutОН," mОaning they did not exceed the permissible

level. According to the index assessment, it was evaluated as “very РooН”. 2. In fact, the monitoring period was in cold season. Therefore, air pollution sources were

operated and due to the open wind, the pollutant elements were easily dispersed.

Water quality:

The monitoring has been done on 1st of November, 2012. According to the standard method, 1 l water

sample has been taken from a new well and hydro-kiosk and transported to the capital and analyzed

the laboratory.

has been taken from a new will in Olon Lake, and hydro-kiosk. The samples were analyzed,

and compared to the MNS 900:2005.

2. Based on a comparison with MNS 900:2005, all water-quality parameters except magnesium

were assОssОН as “unpollutОН," mОaning they did not exceed the permissible level. But, the

concentration of magnesium was exceeded by 1.6-1.8 than the permissible level, and it might

me related to the characteristics of the aquifer.

3. Therefore, we can conclude that the concentration of magnesium should reduce until the

permissible level using appropriate technology before the consumption of drinking purpose.

CONCLUSION

The following conclusions have been drawn for the EMM regarding the “Govi-Altai” water supply

improvement sub-project based on the 2nd

phase of monitoring of EMaP and EMoP. Herein:

1. In total, 34 EMMs of the sub-project has been monitored. Thirty three out of the 34 measures

should be implemented by the contractor. Four out of 33 actions were irrelevant to the 2nd

phase. Therefore, these were not monitored. The remaining 29 measures have to be

implemented until now. 17 out of 29 measures were assessed as satisfactory, 1 of them was

evaluated as incomplete and 11 were valued as unsatisfactory. Therefore, we can conclude that

60% of the measures were implemented.

2. The overall evaluation of EMM of the contractor was evaluated as “D – poor" since the

environmental responsibility was assigned to no one, and an environmental expert was not

hired. The overall evaluation of EMM was same at 1st phase. Therefore, the contractor has to

take strong action on EAO to improve this overall evaluation of EMM.

3. According to the overall evaluation of EMM, it is reasonable that PMU should pay attention to

this contractor, and strongly require the contractor to improve environmental

responsibility and implement EMM of the project.

4. The unassessable one measure for the monitoring research was not reflected in the overall

evaluation. These will be implemented by the specialist, who was selected by the PMU.

5. Five measures, related to the LSS were assessed as unsatisfactory. Therefore, the contractor

should pay attention to this.

6. Three measures, these assessed as unsatisfactory, were related to the environmental delict.

Thence, we can conclude that information about environmental management; finance is

inadequate and EAO of the contractor is weak.

7. The measures, those assessed as incomplete and unsatisfactory, can be improved by an

initiative of the contractor and collaboration between the PIU and the contractor.

8. It is necessary to collaborate with local administration for minimization and mitigation of

adverse impact on the socio-economy and public.

9. According to the results of the environmental pollution monitoring, the project has not a

negative impact on surrounding environment.

10. It was impossible to execute the monitoring the budget expenditure of the environmental

monitoring plan due to lack of information. The fixed time to accomplish the financial facts is

extended three times until 15th November, 30

th November and 10

th December, 2012.

Recommendations, which were based on the conclusions and observations during the monitoring, are

written at the end of this report.

RECOMMENDATION

The following recommendations have been drawn for the ADB, PMU, PIU and the contractors based

on the results of external environmental monitoring on the water-supply improvement sub-projects.

Considering these recommendations, it is possibly to mitigate adverse impacts of the project on the

environment, socio-economy and public in the near future. In addition, it is possible to avoid legal

liability for the environmental delict, which might be incurred in the future. Herein:

ADB:

1. According to Mongolian law, the DEIA of sub-projects was done before the project

implementation. So, the planned cost in the EMaP and EMoP can either coordinate with the

state inflation during the year of project implementation or balance it with the actual market

price.

2. An environmental specialist and an external monitoring specialist should work on all projects

that will be implemented in the future. Their work would be a main indicator of the ecological

oriented policy of ADB.

3. Before the project began, the environmental quality of the project territory was studied by the

DEIA Company, and its result reflected in the DEIAR. It is true that mitigation of the adverse

impact on the environment was done by the PIU and the contractor, according to the EMaP

and EMoP, and its external monitoring was executed by the environmental specialist.

Furthermore, it is necessary to do environmental quality monitoring research after the project

implementation. This is a good opportunity to compare environmental quality at three

different times “past-present-futurО”, and assess the actual impact of the project on the

environment. In addition, the local people mostly have a negative impression during the

project, but their impression positively changes after the project. Therefore, if environmental

quality assessment such as air, soil, water, rehabilitation, is executed within a short time after

the project closure, then the actual impact of the project on the environment can be assessed.

4. All projects, funded by ADB, should implement the standard MNS ISO 14064-2:2011 “GrООn house gases-Part 2: Specification with guidance at the project level for quantification,

monitoring and reporting of green house gas emission reductions or removal enhancements."

This will be an indicator of the world political-Оconomic “РrООn” policy implОmОntation anН will give a good opportunity for minimization of the adverse contributions to earth climate

change.

5. New laws on nature and environment, approved in June, 2012 by the Government, have to

implement in practice.

6. According to the 10th clause of the law on environmental protection, ADB can require the

contractors to implement environmental auditing. Besides of this, the company that

implemented environmental auditing can have the privilege when put in the tender. This

policy can suit the environmental policy of the country.

PMU and PIU

1. The rights and duties of the external environmental monitoring specialist need to be officially

introduced by the PMU to the PIU and the contractor at the beginning of the work. This will

help to avoid misunderstandings between the specialist and the PIU and the contractor during

the monitoring.

2. There needs to be a review checking, whether or not the planned cost of EMaP and EMoP is

enough for the implementation of EMMs and reflects the actual market price.

3. The contractor must be required to hire an environmental specialist or to assign environmental

responsibility to one of the managerial staffs.

4. It is proper to carry out environmental quality monitoring such as air, soil, water and

rehabilitation by the environmental specialist, instead of by the PIU and the contractor. This

will give us an opportunity to assess the actual impact of the project on the environment.

5. In some cases, the planned cost, which was proven by Ministry of Nature, Environment and

Tourism is lower than the recent market price. Depends on that, the contractors were spend

more than the budgeted cost. According to the contract and based on the collected bills, it is

necessary to decide whether overspend money can reimburse or not, if necessary.

6. When evaluating the EMM of the contractor, we should consider not only the EMoP

monitoring results but also the monitoring result of EMaP.

7. New laws on nature and environment, approved in June, 2012 by the Government, have to

implement in practice.

8. According to the 10th clause of the law on environmental protection, PIU and PMU can

require the contractors to implement environmental auditing. Besides of this, the company that

implemented environmental auditing can have the privilege when put in the tender. This

policy can suit the environmental policy of the country.

9. It might be necessary to organize the meeting and to ask for environmental responsibility of

the contractor, who was not implemented EMaP and EMoP several times.

Contractor

1. When beginning the project, it is best to hire an environmental specialist or to assign

environmental responsibility to one of the managerial staffs, so that he/she controls the

implementation of the EMaP and EMoP.

2. There should be a schedule of EMM, control of its implementation, collection of financial

bills and a financial plan made for EMM execution.

3. A close reading of the DEIAR and understanding of it will help to avoid a potential accidents

and loss and amenability, which may happen in the future.

4. Executing the environmental quality monitoring such as air, water, soil and rehabilitation by a

vocational organization or expert, as well as understand these results will help prevent

compensation required by environmental degradation.

5. Old ways of removing various kinds of waste, such as the use of landfills, runoff, burning and

blowing, should be replaced by more modern ways. These include mobile bio-toilet and

mobile containers for solid and liquid waste collection, which can drastically improve the

evaluation of EMM of the contractor. Such mobile containers can be reused many times.

Therefore, it is necessary to invest in proper waste disposal. This will increase the contractor’s reputation; as well encourage the environmental-economic policy of the state.

6. It is necessary to implement the standard MNS ISO 14064-1:2011 “GrООn СousО gases-Part 1:

Specification with guidance at the organization level for quantification and reporting of green

house gas emission reductions or removal enhancements." This will be an indicator of the

contractor’s “РrООn” policy implОmОntation anН will РivО a good opportunity for minimization

of the adverse contributions to earth climate change.

7. According to the law on environmental protection, annual EMaP should make within 15th of

February and an implementation report of the plan has to write in December based on a

conclusion of Agency for Specialized Inspection of the local administration. The report should

deliver to State Inspection Agency afterward examined and approved by MEGD. Based on

DEIAR, an annual EMaP has to make.

8. New laws on nature and environment, approved in June, 2012 by the Government, have to

implement in practice. It will help you to avoid legal liability for the environmental delict in

future.

9. Generally, environmental information and knowledge of contractors is inadequate. Therefore,

they can collaborate with environmental vocational organization.

10. According to the 10th clause of the law on environmental protection, the contractor should

implement environmental auditing. More importantly, they should understand that it helps you

to prevent from legal, socio-economic and environmental risks.

11. According to the law on environmental protection, all contractors have a responsibility to

protect and implement the environmental mitigation measures that did not execute. They can

collaborate with the vocational organization and person on environmental protection, if

necessary.

By the implementation of the aforesaid recommendations, we will achieve “Environmentally

friendly economic policy and social development."
