Executive Summary

Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CCRIP) financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB), KreditanstaltfürWiederaufbau (KfW) and International Fund for Agriculture Development under Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) formally started in 28 February 2013 to increase rural incomes and reduce rural poverty through sustainable economic growth, rural development, social & gender development and improved infrastructure in the project area to be completed by 31 December 2018. This project will promote overall development of the transportation system by constructing, improving and rehabilitating Upazila & Union roads and road structures (brides/culverts), development of growth centres and Cyclone Shelter.

The key components of the projects are: (a) Improved Road Connectivity; (b) Improved Market Services and (c) Enhanced climate change adaptation capacity.

CCRIP is specially designed for the development of climate resilient infrastructure including roads, bridges and culverts, cyclone shelters and killas, ghats and markets. The project is contributing significantly in employment creation and poverty alleviation specially for LCS member. CCRIP has made substantial progress towards achieving its targets. All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time.

The subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the environmental management plan (EMP). Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for different component of the project.

Environmental monitoring of different parameters of some specific environmental components have been carried out in the implementation of CCRIP project. Monitoring results compared against the objectives of environmental safeguard or desired outcomes are presented in this chapter.

Based on the changed ‘Sample Table of Contents for environmental monitoring report {(Title: Semi/ Annual Environmental Monitoring Report) of ADB, quantative and qualitative monitoring data (e.g, pollution data of water, air, soil, noise, etc.,) having some specific monitoring parameters/indicators (e.g., DO, PH, BOD, COD, etc. for water and so on)} some changes in environmental monitoring has been carried out to examine ground water quality and noise level in 12 sample construction sites/ camps of 12 subprojects of the project (Table 1) in June 2016; the qualitative and quantitative monitoring for the environmental monitoring considering the same parameters at the respective subproject locations has been carried out in November 2016. Ground water samles are analysed in the Laboratory of Department of Soil, Water & Environment of Dhaka University. Summary of ground water analytical report is presented in Table 2.

Comparisn of Ground Water Analytical Results carried out in June 2016 and November 2016 Small variations in respect to the value of some parameters is found due to the seasonal variation of sample collection which is not significant in terms of environmental quality

water quality in relation to all the eight parameters considered is found within the acceptable limit/ standard drinking water quality in eight sample locations (Sample nos. 2,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 11), except the the Electric Coductiviry in (700 as Canadian standard, no such standard in Bangladesh) which high in all the samples studied;

Total Hardness is found below the lowest standard limit in eight samples ( sample nos. 2,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 11); slightly high compared to the highest limit in rest rest of the four samples (Sample nos.1,3, 10 & 12 in June 2016 and sample nos.1,3 and10 in November 2016);

Total Disolved Solid (TDS) is found low in ten samples except high in two sample (Sample nos.1 and 3, also sample 12 in November 2016) compared to the highest standard limit;

Iron (Fe) is found within standard limit in one sample (sample 12) in November 2016; high in one sample location (Sample no. 10) in June 2016; low in others; variations in Iron content is found in all the samples due the two different seasons.

There is no effect of ground water level due to the project implementation.

Noise level goes beyond the allowable limit at the time of construction activity which is a temporary one that becomes normal just after the completion of construction work. Along with common preventing measures, proper maintenance of vehicles & machineries is being done to minimize/lessen noise level during noisy activities; water spraying is being practiced where dust pollution is occurring. Noise level has been monitored recording the noise levels in June 2016 and November 2016 respectively at twelve locations of twelve subprojects (Table 1). Summary of noise level monitoring results is presented in Table 3.

Chapter 1: Project Background

1.1 Introduction

Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (CCRIP) financed by Asian Development Bank (ADB), KreditanstaltfürWiederaufbau (KfW) and International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) under Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) formally started in January 2013 to increase rural incomes and reduce rural poverty through sustainable economic growth, rural development, social & gender development and improved infrastructure in the project area to be completed by December 2018. This project will promote overall development of the transportation system by constructing, improving and rehabilitating Upazila & Union roads and road structures (brides/culverts), development of growth centres and Cyclone Shelter.

CCRIP is specially designed for the development of climate resilient infrastructure including roads, bridges and culverts, cyclone shelters and killas, ghats and markets. The project is contributing significantly in employment creation and poverty alleviation specially for Labor Contracting Society (LCS) member. CCRIP has made substantial progress towards achieving its targets. All the activities of the project are expected to be completed within the stipulated time.

The key components of the projects are: (a) Improved Road Connectivity; (b) Improved Market Services and (c) Enhanced climate change adaptation capacity.

Project implementation has been progressing in compliances with the requirements of ADB and, GOB including procurement of Environmental Clearance Certificate from Department of Environment, Government of Bangladesh.

This report covers major achievements during January-December 2016 including overall project achievement as of 31 December 2016 addressing environmental safeguard issues arisen due to the development activities.

1.2 Physical Progress

1.2.1 Scope of Monitoring

The project area encompasses 12 districts of south western Bangladesh (Figure 1) in three regions in the three administrative divisions. These districts are:

i. Khulna Region: Khulna, Satkhira and Bagerhat Districts in Khulna Division;

ii. Barisal Region: Barisal, Jhalokathi, Patuakhali, Barguna, Bhola and Perojpur Districts in Barisal Division and

iii. Madaripur Region: Madaripur, Gopalganj and Shariatpur Districts in Dhaka Division.

The project is subdivided into 666 subprojects and each subproject comprises a package of different types of infrastructures. Improving rural roads and associated infrastructures will provide local inhabitants with efficient transport to markets and trading centres and access to social and welfare services.

Results of these IEEs/EMPs concluded that, the road and the market subprojects will have some small and localized adverse environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs. Accordingly, out of the 666 subprojects of CCRIP, 144 subprojects funded by ADB falls under environmental monitoring as follows:

i. Upazila Road: 56 Subprojet; ii. Growth Centre: 18 and iii. Large Rural Market: 70 Subproject.

1.2.2 Physical Progress of Project Activities

Physial works are in progress in all the 12 district under three regions. Componentwise physical progress of project activities for environmental monitoring are

i. Upgrading Upazila Road:

Total number of subproject planned for implementation is 56 of which

- 39 subprojects has been being implementd so far in three Phases (14 in Phase I, 19 in Phase II & 6 in Phase III)

- Nine subprojects has been proposed for implementation in Phase IV.

ii. Development of Large Growth Centres:


- 14 subprojects has been being implementd so far (11 in Phase I, & 3 in Phase II)

iii. Development of Growth Center/ Large Rural Market:


- 55 subprojects has been being implementd so far in three Phases (23 in Phase I, 25 in Phase II & 7 in Phase III)

- Four subprojects has been proposed for implementation in Phase IV.

1.2.3 Reporting Period

This quarterly report covers major achievements during the period January-December 2016 including overall project achievement as of 31 December 2016 addressing environmental safeguard issues arisen due to the project development activities.

1.2.4 Monitoring Requirements

The subprojects of CCRIP are categorized as “category B” for environmental project classifications as per ADB guidelines, and ‘Orange B’ as per Department of Environment, Government of Bangladesh. So, following ADB categorization, implementation of the subprojects required Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) including Environmental Management Plan (EMP) which has been prepared.

Results of these IEEs/EMPs concluded that, the road/market subprojects will have some small and localized adverse environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs.

All bidding documents of CCRIP subprojects include EMP as Environmental Compliances, and contracted contractors are briefed and trained in pre-/post- bid sessions for proper implementation of EMPs. A mandatory Environmental Compliance Certificate with each Interim Payment Certificate has been introduced for all ongoing sub-projects. This certificate submitted by the Contractor and duly verified and certified by the Upazila/Executive Engineer certifies compliances of the Environmental Attributes in the IEE/EMP reports of CCRIP subprojects. No payment will be released without this certificate.

According to monitoring requirements, Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMR) to be submitted on semi-annual and annual basis.


14

1.3 Changes in project scope

There is no any change in project scope or adjusted environmental safeguard measures for the project.

So far, no adverse environmental scenario has arose and/or observed in any of the sub-project construction sites necessitating any correction in the proposed environmental management plan or formulation of a changed and/or revised management plan. Neither, any failure in the time frame of preparation and completion of EMP implementation is likely. However, corrective action plan/s will be adopted in case of any unexpected scenario.

2 Chapter 2: Environmental Monitoring

2.1 Environmental Monitoring based on EMP

The results of IEEs concluded that the road and the market subprojects will have some environmental impacts only during construction works. The assessed impacts are insignificant, and temporary in nature, and these can be mitigated to an acceptable level by proper implementation of the proposed EMPs. Accordingly, environmental monitoring for CCRIP’s subprojects implementation has been conducted only for construction works related activities. EMP Implementation Status of different project activities are presented in Table 4 and Table 5.

Noise & vibration is the issue only when heavy vehicle moves and heavy machineries are in operation. Noise and vibration levels are minimized by maintaining machineries in good working conditions, using noise minimizing kits, carrying out construction works only at day times, etc. Noise levels were monitored at 12 different construction sites of 12 subprojects twice during the year 2016. Actual observation on noise level monitoring activities are presented in Figure 4 & Figure 5 for June 2016 and November 2016 respectively.

Comparisn of Ground Water Analytical Results carried out in June 2016 and November 2016

41

Analytical Results (June & November 2016) show that small variations in respect to the value of some parameters is found due to the seasonal variation of sample collection which is not significant in terms of environmental quality

water quality in relation to all the eight parameters considered is found within the acceptable limit/ standard drinking water quality in eight sample locations (Sample nos. 2,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 11), except the the Electric Coductiviry in (700 as Canadian standard, no such standard in Bangladesh) which high in all the samples studied;

Total Hardness is found below the lowest standard limit in eight samples ( sample nos. 2,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 11); slightly high compared to the highest limit in rest rest of the four samples (Sample nos.1,3, 10 & 12 in June 2016 and sample nos.1,3 and10 in November 2016);

Total Disolved Solid (TDS) is found low in ten samples except high in two sample (Sample nos.1 and 3, also sample 12 in November 2016) compared to the highest standard limit;

Iron (Fe) is found within standard limit in one sample (sample 12) in November; high in one sample location (Sample no. 10) in June; low in others; variations in Iron content is found in all the samples due the two different seasons.

There is no effect of ground water level due to the project implementation.

Chapter 6: Recommendation and Conclusion

Environmental safeguard issues are very important to address for all sector of development. The road and market development subprojects of CCRIP will have some small and localized adverse environmental impact only during construction period which can be mitigated by the appropriate mitigation measures proposed in the EMP. Adverse environmental impacts due to the project are not significant. The project addressing environmental safeguard issues proposed in the EMP prepared for road and market development components of the project. The CCRIP is addressing, formally and/or informally, environmental safeguard issues highlighted in the environmental management plan prepared for different component of the project at different stages of project implementation for different components.

There is no issue identified during this quarter or for next quarter which will have detectable impact on the environment.
