1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Preamble

1. This report represents the Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR) for

FATA Water Resources Development Project (FWRDP).

2. Design and Construction Supervision Consultants (DCSC) have prepared this Semi-

Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR) for Project Management Unit (PMU)

covering period from July 2021 to December 2021. This report fulfils the requirements

to monitor the effectiveness of ADB`s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009, its

implementation and to ensure sound environmental planning. During the environmental

monitoring the gaps/shortcomings in the implementation of environmental safeguards

as per Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 were identified and corrective actions

proposed and recommendations for future course of action provided.

1.2 Headline Information

3. DCSC`s environment team has orientated all the contractors on environmental

compliances as per IEEs/EMPs. The team has observed that environmental

management has improved over the time on subprojects sites. Mutually agreed

Corrective Action Plan is also devised and communicated to the contractors.

Contractors have been advised to address non-compliances as per agreed Corrective

Action Plan. Environment Safeguard Team of consultants includes, an Environment

Specialist, three Environmental Inspectors for looking after the EMP implementation on

different sites in Khyber, Mohmand and Bajaur Districts. Beside this HSE Managers

have been hired by the contractors for dams’ subprojects while for diversion weirs and

infiltration galleries contractors have nominated an engineering staff for of SSEMP at

sites. Therefore, the progress in environmental compliance has been improved during

the reporting period.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES

2.1 Project Description

4. Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Water Resources Development Project

(FWRDP) is operational in the provincial territories of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) at the

western borders of Pakistan with Afghanistan. It focuses on increasing irrigation

supplies in three districts, namely Mohmand, Khyber and Bajaur to increase crop

production and harvest water sustainably. The project is being proposed as a result of

the Water Assessment Study executed under the completed ADB supported FATA

Rural Development Project of former FATA Secretariat. The study identified 40

watersheds where the groundwater aquifers are depleting at a high rate, even under

average weather conditions due to unplanned water extraction for irrigation and other

associated purposes. It recommends shifting from groundwater to surface water, which

remains totally unutilized, and identified potential sites for small reservoirs dams and

diversion weirs in the 40 watersheds of Mohmand, Khyber and Bajaur Districts of KP.

5. Project Management Unit (PMU) of FATA Water Resources Development Project

(FWRDP) has screened out thirty-four (34) subprojects for irrigation of agricultural land

under FWRDP. These subprojects have been screened, classified, and assessed

according to ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 and Pakistan

Environmental Protection Agency Review of IEE/EIA Regulations 2000. Environmental

considerations were assessed for these subprojects. Initial Environmental Examination

(IEEs) and Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) for 34 subprojects were

prepared by Design and Construction Supervision Consultant (DCSC), covered in 24

Nos Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) reports. Out of total 24 IEEs, 20 IEEs were

prepared for individual sub project while one consolidated IEE covers 8 sub projects

and three IEES covers two sub projects, respectively. All IEEs were cleared and

disclosed by ADB. Environmental Approvals were received from Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) for all IEEs.

6. Presently, 121 subprojects are under construction while twenty-two (22) are

substantially completed. The table below (Exhibit 2) is a representation of each

subproject`s description in terms of environmental safeguards implementation (IEEs

and SSEMPs) as per ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. Contractors are required

to submit the SSEMP and get an approval from DCSC/PMU 10 days before

commencement of civil works. This was a challenge for DCSC and PMU to comply with

this requirement at the start of the project as the contractor’s capacity to understand

environmental safeguards were not up to the mark as they have worked in erstwhile

FATA and environmental compliance in erstwhile FATA was a hard task and they have

not seen this type of requirement in any contract before FWRDP, but still, we put every

effort to ensure this compliance. As reflected in exhibit 2 the SSEMPs submission and

approval process was improved as compared with the initial subprojects for which

SSEMPs were submitted late.

7. A training session is regularly arranged for newly awarded contracts at DCSC office and

PMU to build the capacity of the contractors and understand the importance of

environmental safeguards implementation during subproject`s execution. Every

contractor is briefed in PMU about the SSEMP and its importance and in the same

session templates and SSEMP guidance handbook is provided to them for their

understanding and convenience.

viable (EIRR 10.84 %). The financial analysis also indicates the safe investment with

FIRR as 9.43 %.

11. The subproject activities may cause some disturbances to the environment due to

material dumping, machinery work, taking borrow material, setting up of camp areas,

transportation on link roads and necessary facilities for the staff / labour to be engaged

for the subproject. These impacts are mitigated through measures envisaged in EMP.

12. The subproject, based on Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA), is categorized as

“B” as per Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. The subproject bears site specific impacts of temporary nature.

13. Subproject does not involve any permanent or temporary land acquisition. No

indigenous people and women headed households have been identified in the

subproject area. The other social issues like safety of public and workers, security

problems, risk of communicable diseases, vector borne diseases etc. are of temporary

in nature. Subproject leads to creation of job opportunities particularly for the local

population and socioeconomic uplift through irrigated agriculture.

about 40 km North East of Ghalani (District Headquarter) of Mohmand District.

44. Irrigation canal on left bank offtake from main dam to irrigate the command area. The

entire canal length of 2.7 km from intake point to tail end is partially choked by eroded

material and damaged at different locations by the local community. Utilizing the water

through solar pumps, at both sides of Khwar, from main reservoir and channel for

irrigating lands at higher elevation is observed in command area. Water conveyance

from dam to the fields is the crux of the project.

45. The major issue with the construction of command area development of Khurshid dam

is blockage of main road when the reservoir rises to normal conservation level (El 434

m) whereas the bed level of stream at river crossing is 432m, in order to make the road

accessible the locals have to drawdown the reservoir which results in water loss of 13

ha-m out of 52 ha-m of reservoir capacity which is approx. 25% loss of water/ benefits.

In order to overcome this issue, the present study includes multi barrel causeway, with

the height of 4.0m, which will result in utilization of top 25% reservoir capacity for the

agricultural benefits.

46. The subproject is divided into five (05) number of chunks totaling command area of 104

ha. This project includes development of command area by providing irrigation network

from the Khurshid irrigation channel though outlet. The proposed system under study

will be able to irrigate 104 ha. This project involves primary (rectangular section),

secondary and tertiary watercourses (Parabolic Precast E types), fall structures,

syphon, road culvert, drainage culverts, sumps, minors through Parabolic Type E,

nacca and washing pads etc.

47. The existing cropping intensity is 70%. Future irrigation intensity of subproject is

proposed as 126%. Total length of main irrigation channel under this subproject is 6.08

km.

48. The subproject cost is estimated to be Rs. 119.772 million and is anticipated to take 12

months period to complete. The results of the economic analysis show that the project

is economically viable (EIRR 12.86 %). The financial analysis also indicates the FIRR

as 10.94 %.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS ACTIVITIES

3.1 General Description of Environmental Safeguards Activities

111. Environment Specialist of DCSC developed weekly environmental monitoring

checklists (see Annex-7 A) for environmental compliance of the subprojects. This

checklist is based on the recommended mitigation measures given in the EMP for

environmental safeguard at different stages of the subprojects. Contractors were

orientated how to fill out the checklist. A checklist for the Semi-Annual Environmental

Monitoring Report has also been formed to analyse the follow up of the ongoing

subprojects (see Annex-2).

112. Environmental Inspector of DCSC conducted environmental safeguard trainings of

contractor’s staff and workers on each subproject with the purpose to build capacity of the staff in environmental compliance monitoring and in ensuring environmental

safeguards for the subprojects. These trainings focused on EMPs of the subproject,

environmental monitoring checklists, environmental monitoring activities and Health,

Environment and Safety (HSE) of staff and workers. Knowledge on potential hazards

on the site and procedures to avoid such hazards and actions in case of any

incident/accident were communicated to contractor’s staff and workers. Environment Specialist of DCSC has followed up these trainings by assessing the capacity of

contractors’ staff and workers during site visits.

3.2 Site Audits

113. Contractors are supposed to conduct internal audits and review by their own staff to

ensure a safe, healthy, and secure environment, both physically and behaviourally, for

workers, equipment, property, visitors, and the public. DCSC has undertaken site

inspections of all under execution subprojects. The findings of these inspections are

being updated regularly in monthly environmental monitoring reports. Contractors are

advised to submit weekly environmental monitoring checklists to DCSC and implement

the environmental compliance activities in accordance with the approved IEEs/EMPs.

Contractors are improving their environmental compliance, yet they slack in some

areas. To ensure implementation of EMP the contractors were asked to nominate their

focal persons/site inspectors who will be responsible for environmental safeguards

implementation for weir sites while for dams’ sub-projects the contractors have

dedicated HSE Managers in their staff. The nominated site inspectors were trained on

EMP/SSEMP implementation and directed to submit weekly checklist regularly to

DCSC as previously weekly checklists were not submitted on regular basis.

114. Environmental Inspectors of DCSC carried out field visits of all subprojects on regular

basis. During these field visits meetings are convened with the contractors' staff and

workers, visual observations and photographs are taken and key findings are discussed

with the concerned engineering staff and the contractors. Recommendations are

communicated to the contractor to address environmental issues and non-compliances


Page | 51

on all the subprojects. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is revised for all the subprojects in

consultation with the contractor’s staff.

115. For the purpose of environmental audit, Mr. Ihsan Afridi, Mr. Lehaz Imran and Mr. Altaf

Hussain (Environmental Inspectors) from DCSC visited all the under-construction sub

projects in district Khyber, Mohmand and Bajaur. By strengthening the environment

team of DCSC the environmental compliance status has been improved during the

current reporting period.

116. As already reported during the previous eight SAEMRs, the environmental guidelines

were being followed. However, the contractors have willingness to follow the

environmental guidelines and the environmental team of DCSC is continuously working

on the capacity building. Some of the findings of the recent environmental audit are as

follows:

a) Proper drainage system has been constructed for water at Magoo Dand Dam.

b) Proper oil storage areas have been constructed for oil storage at sites and

additional cross drainage provided as per SSEMP.

c) The drivers and mechanical staff have been trained to change the mobile oil

safely and speed limit observation to minimize dust.

d) Trainings have been provided by the contractor with respect to prevention and

control of COVID-19 specifically on ADB suggested SOPs.

e) Workers were using personal protection equipment’s. The construction areas were fenced.

f) Weekly Checklist are submitted by the contractors of the diversion weirs on

regular basis.

g) All required documents e.g., IEE, SSEMP and GRM are available on sites.

h) HSE managers have been hired for all small dams’ sites.

i) Water sprinkling is done regularly on dust prone areas where the dry, loose

dirt picks up in the wind.

j) Collecting Kitchen waste at separate bins and disposing of in a pit at

designated area/s has been improved at all under construction sites.

k) Construction equipment and machinery is fitted with silencers and maintained

properly.

l) Surface water or ground water contamination, due to oil spillage or solid

waste, has not occurred at any sites.

m) No noise level exceeding the permissible NEQs limits was recorded at any

under construction site.


Page | 52

n) During the reporting period, no major grievances were recorded. Contractors

are addressing the issues in consultation with PIU and DCSC. Other minor

onsite grievances are being addressed in consultation with local communities

and village chiefs.

o) There are no damages to houses or shops at any site.

p) No damage to Archaeological /Religious/Cultural or Historical sites.

q) First Aid Kits are available at construction sites.

117. The corrective action plan and trainings brought major change in the behavior of

contractors. As a result, environmental compliance is seriously considered in project

execution. Site inspectors has been trained and SSEMPs are being developed for each

subproject. The implementation of SSEMP and further trainings is bringing major

change in the behavior of the contractor’s staff towards environment friendly construction of all the sub projects. The contractors have assured they will not harm the

local environment and will take all the necessary steps for the protection and

conservation of natural environment and will make sure the health safety of workers

and local community.

3.3 Issues Tracking (Based on Non-Conformance Notices)

118. The overall environmental progress of almost all of the subprojects improved during this

reporting period. The total average compliance status was 91%, which is calculated on

the basis of observation checklist attached as Annex-2 and shown in Exhibits 32, 33

and 34 for District Mohmand, Bajaur and Khyber respectively.

3.5 Unanticipated Environmental Impacts or Risks

3.5.1 COVID-19 Pandemic

124. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered

coronavirus. COVID-19 can affect your lungs and airways. Symptoms can be mild,

moderate, severe or fatal. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild

to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.

125. Construction processes are dynamic with significantly varying number of workers on a

construction project site from day to day. The workers coming from diverse

environments and working closely together increases the risk of exposure to COVID 19.

126. The COVID-19 outbreak represents significant health and safety risks that were not

anticipated at project appraisal stage and is thus not reflected in any of the project’s safeguards instruments, most importantly the environmental management plan (EMP).

127. In accordance with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement

2009 (SPS) and the loan agreement between ADB and the borrower, the borrower is

required to assess implications of unanticipated risks and impacts under the project;

and to identify and implement necessary risk mitigation measures.

128. In response to the requirements of the SPS, as incorporated into the loan agreement,

to provide workers with safe and healthy working conditions, as well as minimize

adverse impacts and risks to the health and safety of local communities living near or

affected by, ADB-financed project, a project-level COVID-19 risk assessment was

conducted and all the contractors were instructed to update (or prepare) their respective

Health and Safety Plans (HSP) and Emergency Response Plans (ERP) as necessary.

As a result, ADB`s Project Officer was notified through letter and all the SSEMPs were

updated. Moreover, for unawarded subprojects a contract clause has been added in the

bidding document for contractors to comply with SOPs and adopt measures for

prevention and control of the COVID-19. The SSEMP of Khrakai Weir was updated with

respect to COVID-19 after re-award of the subproject to the new contractor. The Project

Officer of ADB was notified through 2nd notification about the updating of SSEMPs.

129. In October, 2021 ADB’s suggested SOPs have been received for strict compliance on

under construction subprojects sites after which training sessions were arranged by the

Environmental Inspectors of DCSC on the implementation of these SOPs for

contractors’ staff and labour.

130. The workers and staff are fully aware of the risk of COVID-19 and adopted all the

possible prevention measures provided in the updated SSEMPs. None of the worker

have been reported with COVID-19 symptoms neither any worker with illness was

observed during the site visits.

4 RESULTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

4.1 Overview of Monitoring Conducted during Current Period

131. Environmental monitoring consists of two types. The first type requires field sampling

and laboratory analysis for example water quality, air quality and noise levels. The

second type refers to visual inspections of such things as soil erosion, restoration of

vegetation, solid waste disposal and so on. The field sampling and laboratory analysis

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

period. Environment Inspector of DCSC undertook field inspections on fortnightly basis.

Environmental Specialist of DCSC also inspected subprojects on periodical basis.

DCSC prepared Corrective Action Plans in consultation with contractors.

132. The environmental monitoring was carried out by DCSC to assess actual nature and

extent of key impacts and the effectiveness of mitigation and enhancement measures

outlined in the Initial Environmental Examination (IEEs) and Environmental

Management Plans (EMPs). The IEEs prepared for subprojects includes Environmental

management plan (EMP) that addresses the potential impacts. (Annex-6). Mitigation

measures are considered so that the projects are designed, constructed, and operated

in compliance with applicable national and provincial laws and regulations and meets

the requirements of ADB SPS, 2009. Contractors are provided with monitoring checklist

and Urdu brochures for the better understanding of the Environment. (ANNEX-7[A&B]).

The overall status of Environmental Compliance was monitored and presented as

Annex 2.

4.2 Trends

133. Keeping in mind the construction volume the impacts on water quality, air quality and

noise is negligible and no major change was noticed after analysing the test results.

The results of monitoring checklist indicate that EMP compliance is increasing as

already discussed above.

4.3 Summary of Monitoring Outcomes

134. The Impact monitoring of some environmental parameters are discussed hereunder:

4.3.1 Instrumental Monitoring

135. The instrumental monitoring of air quality and noise as well as water testing has been

conducted at sites.

4.3.2 Noise Monitoring

136. Noise monitoring on construction sites is being carried out to assess impacts of noise

level generated to curtail its adverse impacts on workers, nearby communities, and

fauna of the area. For this purpose, noise level monitoring is being carried out by using


Page | 59

digital noise level meter to know the noise value at subproject locations. The field

instrumental Monitoring results reveals that the noise results is within limits of NEQS

and WHO guidelines.

137. Contractors are advised to keep their machinery in good condition and provide

personal protective equipment’s (PPEs) like ear plugs to the working staff at noise generating sites. Speed of the trucks and other vehicles used for construction activities

were to be controlled and the construction activities were to be limited to daytime only.

138. The environmental monitoring conducted during December 2021 deduces that no noise

or vibration related complaints from public or workers were registered at any of the

subproject site. However, Environment team of DCSC has reinforced contractor staff to

adopt mitigation measures to reduce the impact of noise and vibration as delineated in

EMPs. DCSC environment team repeatedly advised the contractors to keep their

machinery in good condition and provide personal protective equipment (PPE) like ear

plugs to the working staff to worn at noise generating sites. DCSC advised the

contractor to provide PPEs to workers. Contractors of all subproject’s sites were

advised to control vehicle speed and restrict construction activities to daytime only.

DCSC advised the contractors to carry out noise monitoring by using noise meter on

regular basis. Noise testing was carried out at sub projects where construction activities

were in progress.

139. Results of instrumental monitoring of noise are given in the exhibit below:

Noise Testing Results

4.3.3 Air Quality Monitoring

140. The ambient air of an area may be polluted due to emissions of Carbon Oxides (COX),

Sulphur oxides (SOX), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM10). The

industry that may produce high emissions of gases and other toxic elements is not

present in the any of the subproject area so only dust and smoke emissions were to be

monitored visually by the contractors during transportation or use of excavators etc.

Some pollution might be caused due to dust emission which was to be monitored.

141. Contractors of all subprojects were guided to adopt measures helpful in controlling air

quality deterioration in the subproject activity areas like regular water sprinkling to

reduce the air dust emissions and regular tuning of vehicles maintaining the equipment

properly to minimize the smoke and other gaseous emissions. The objective was to

minimize the airborne particulate matter, dust pollution and fumes of vehicular

emissions into the atmosphere to avoid negative impacts on the health of construction

workers, residents, and nearby vegetation.

142. Visual observations were made to monitor regular water sprinkling at dust prone areas

during the construction activities and to monitor the vehicular emissions to minimize the

smoke emissions. Contractors ensured water sprinkling at most of the sites. Contractors

are advised to regularly tune and check up their construction vehicles and machinery

to comply the vehicular exhaust emission levels. Contractors regularly tune their

vehicles at all the subproject sites. Contractors are advised to ensure use of masks and

helmets by workers. Also, they were advised to transport excavated material by using

covers on the dumpers to avoid spills.

143. Air quality testing was carried out at sub projects where construction activities were in

progress. The air quality results indicate under permissible limits. The results of

instrumental monitoring are presented in exhibit below;

4.3.4 Water Quality Monitoring

144. Subproject construction activities should not lead to pollution or contamination of

surface and groundwater in the subproject area knowing that contamination bears direct

effects on human health. Therefore, preventive measures are required to be taken to

save water sources. Contractors are guided to take measures at camp site to prevent

water pollution in the adjoining stream, water channel and in groundwater: Construction

of sewage system with septic tank to dispose of sanitary wastewater and lined wash

areas are the other measures contractors were asked to take to prevent pollution of

water. Furthermore, contractors are asked to avoid oils spills in subproject areas.

145. Environment staff of DCSC has observed no surface or groundwater pollution caused

by construction activities. Contractors tested surface and drinking water from certified

labs for physical, chemical and biological parameters. No water borne disease (gastro,

diarrhoea, etc.) has been noticed. Sewerage system/septic tanks at camp sites were

constructed. Contractors are advised to ensure operation and maintenance of drainage

system to avoid contamination of ground and surface water sources. Contractors are

also advised to avoid oil spill to protect ground water and surface water channels.

146. The samples of drinking water from contractors’ camp and surface water quality were

tested in December 2021. Almost all the results are under permissible limits according

to National Environmental Quality Standard (NEQS) and WHO guidelines. The

contractor has been advised to regularly carryout chlorination and or provide clean

drinking water to labour and staff from any other source. The results are given in the

tables below:

4.3.5 Soil Erosion

147. No damages to the agricultural lands due to borrow pits or soil erosion is observed so

far as mostly soil is obtained from local uplands from their owners who in return get their

agricultural land levelled. Still the contractors have been advised to proceed after written

agreements. Contractors are also advised to make complete line plans for excavation

and transportation showing the distance of the borrow pits from the construction sites

and to get them approved from RE of DCSC.

4.3.6 Natural Habitat Protection

148. The contractors are advised to avoid damaging the natural habitats and to replant the

damaged plants, if unavoidable, after construction. Also, the native wildlife and habitats

should not be disturbed. However, no tree has been cut during construction processes

on any of the subproject. Similarly, no native species are being disturbed due to the

construction activities.

149. Tree plantation cost is kept for each subproject under watershed management

component of the project. Tree plantation is in the process with the help of District Forest

Officers (DFO) of the three districts. As of 31st December 2021, plantation on 4475 ha

area has been completed. The overall implementation progress is 77% (Bajaur 2533

ha, Mohmand 1,427 ha and Khyber 515 ha) of revised target of 5,829 ha. Remaining

plantation is in progress and will be completed as soon as possible. District wise

watershed targets vs achieved are shown in below table;

Watershed Management Status

150. Neither flora nor fauna were disturbed by the contractors at any of the subproject area

since the subprojects involve only weir/ lift irrigation sump and channels construction

which locate farer to wildlife habitats. Wildlife sanctuary does exist near any subproject

site. No hunting of birds and animal is reported. Continuous monitoring is being carried

out by environmental inspectors of DCSC to check any hunting activity or activities

damaging vegetation or wildlife habitat.

4.4 Material Resources Utilisation

4.4.1 Current Period

151. The use of water in construction sites for human needs, is basically related to the

essential demands of employees of the construction site and these are preserved in

accordance with the labour laws. In the construction site, the human water

consumption, is for the following facilities: sanitary, housing, dining place, laundry, and

kitchen, when preparing meals.

152. The other major use of water is for the sprinkling of water at project site for compaction

and around the project site for dust control. Oil has been also used for project

equipment, like generators, machinery and vehicles. Consumption of Oil in gallon for

the reporting period is given in exhibit below:

154. No water consumption record was present at any site. However, the contractors are not

putting pressure on ground water table as in almost all subprojects the contractors are

relying on surface water from stream and springs.

4.5 Waste Management

4.5.1 Current Period

155. Currently, there are two types of waste at all sub-project areas.

a. Domestic waste from camps, offices, labours, etc.

b. Construction waste including hazardous waste from construction sites.

4.5.2 Cumulative Waste Generation

156. The waste generated from the cutting of earth is reused for back filling. The unused

excavated material is disposed of at designated sites. Negligible construction waste

including wire cutters, plastic and paper, etc. is generated at the site which is recycled

and reused in second market. Currently, all such waste is segregated disposed of

temporarily on designated sites, identified and demarked before construction for

disposal during construction activities. The Dumping sites/Disposal sites are identified

and approved by Environment Specialist of FWRDPC. The dumping site for each

subproject is shown on the maps attached as Annexure 10. Such waste is then removed

to be reused in second market on regular interval with the help of specified

subcontractors, assigned by each contractor.

157. Domestic waste is disposed of in low lying areas or depression on other side of sites,

where water becomes stagnant and becomes a breeding place for disease vectors like

malarial mosquitoes. This method is identified in IEE reports and also the general

practice of local municipality. Dumping waste material in these ponds achieve two

purposes: disposing off waste material and filling the pond to make the sites more health

friendly.

4.6 Health and Safety

4.6.1 Community Health and Safety

158. The safety of the local people is a major concern, due to which all the contractors were

advised to place safety signs (safety cautions, safety cones, safety tapes etc.) on site.

Campsite is established 500 meters away from the human settlements at all the

subprojects. Subproject signs are not properly placed at any site. Contractors have

ensured water sprinkling at all subproject sites. All Contractors are advised to ensure

proper water sprinkling and maintain the record. The contractors are also advised to

place safety signs for the protection of community from any incident. Traffic operations

are well on all subprojects 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.


Page | 70

4.6.2 Workers` Safety and Health

159. The awareness of contractors needed to be created for instituting safety procedures

during construction. Provision of proper safety equipment for the workers such as

helmets, goggles, masks, shoes and gloves etc needed to be provided to the workers

during construction activities. Other safety measures to avoid exposure to accidents

due to operation of construction, vehicle movements and machinery operations were to

be ensured.

160. The findings of monitoring activities reveal that contractor have provided Personal

Protective Equipment (PPEs) to the workers on all subproject sites. Contractors are

advised to ensure provision and utilization of PPEs on all the subprojects. First Aid kits

are available at most of the subprojects while ambulance is not available at any

subproject’s sites. However, the contractors have 4WD vehicles to deal with any kind

of emergency. Furthermore, Govt. hospitals as well as private clinics are available in

close vicinity to deal with any major injuries and health issues No accident/incident of

major nature is reported during July-December 2021.

4.7 Grievances Redressal

161. Construction sites and labour camps are away from local community. There are no

houses in 500-meter vicinity of construction sites or labour camp. The contractor HSE

Managers are sensitizing the labours from time to time to take care of local norms and

culture. Beside this they placed grievances register at camp site to register local

communities’ complaints but till date no complaint has been received from the local

community. The contractor guided the drivers to keep speed limits of 30km/h to avoid

any unfair situations. In case if any unfair situation occurring at sites, the issues are

resolved on priority basis and will involve local Jirga according to the complexity of the

situation. Most of the complaints of communities is of social nature and dealt by PIU

and Sociologist of CSC jointly and reported in six monthly social monitoring report

submitted to ADB.

4.8 Training

162. The environmental and social unit of DCSC is comprising only one environmental expert

(intermittent basis) and one environmental and one social inspector. There is no HS

(Health and Safety) expert or trainer among the DCSC. Currently the DCSC provide

information and guidelines on all environmental safeguard related training activities to

the Contractor`s Environmentalist/HSE Officers, staff and labours. These include

trainings of nominated site inspectors, Contractors, HSE inductions for site workers,

guidelines on HSE training, risk assessment requirements before start of each activity,

etc. The site inspectors then provide the training on these issues to the staff and labour.

163. The site inspectors were nominated by the contractors who were trained by the

environment specialist of DCSC. These inspectors were specifically trained on

construction site inspections and weekly checklist monitoring, this will ensure

compliance of EMP/SSEMP in true letter and spirit.

5 FUNCTIONING OF THE SSEMP

5.1 SSEMP Review

165. Contractors are required to prepare Site Specific Environmental Monitoring Plan

(SSEMP), including environmental management measures, risk assessment,

Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Emergency Response Plan (ERP), Borrow

Area Management Plan, Traffic Management Plan, Health Environment and Safety

Plan.

166. The contractors of the awarded subprojects were directed through letters to submit the

SSEMP reports 10 days prior to the commencement of physical work. In response to

the letter the SSEMPs of the subprojects mentioned in exhibit 2 have been submitted

by the contractors and approved by DCSC and ESMU.

167. It was observed that all the subprojects are implementing the measures proposed in the

EMP and SSEMP. This was mainly due to the fact that the contractor`s nominated staff

were trained on Environment, Health & Safety which in turn helped a lot in

implementation of mitigation measures proposed.

168. As these subprojects mainly involve soil/earthworks, dust suppression measures were

stressed upon by the DCSC staff. The contractors` staff was persuaded to maintain

good house-keeping and waste management.

169. The contractors were directed to revise their SSEMPs and include COVID-19 Health

and Safety Plan (HSP) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in accordance with

guidelines for construction site issued by the Ministry of Health, Govt. of Pakistan and

international good practices. All the SSEMPs were revised and submitted to ESMU

against which approval have been granted by ESMU and they were strictly directed to

implement it with true letter and spirit.

6 GOOD PRACTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT

6.1 Good Practice

170. In most workplaces, accidents are a nuisance for the worker and a headache for Project

Management Team. However, at construction sites, accidents have the potential to be

life threatening. With every new story about environmental disasters and trapped

labourers, construction sites become less and less appealing — even as the population

grows and demands new, updated structures increases. Regarded as one of the most

dangerous professions, construction work on the job site can be considered anything

but entirely safe. Obviously, the employers do need to mitigate safety hazards to

construction workers, but the workers need to keep in mind a lot of precautions

themselves when working in such hazardous conditions.

171. Thus, construction sites must be strived to safeguard their employees if not for the

ethical reasons, then for the economic ones. Here are eight ways construction

businesses can reduce workplace accidents. The following Good Practices at project

sites

6.1.1 Awareness

172. Before any worker — no matter his or her role or experience level — can set foot on a

construction site, he or she must be fully cognizant of the possible hazards. Ignorant

workers are perhaps the biggest dangers at any construction sight, as their unknowing

mistakes put everyone else at risk. Understanding of perils at hand and sustaining a

perpetual state of alertness is perhaps the number-one best way to prevent accidents

for which awareness campaign and risk assessment of each activity is done before start

of the new activity for the staff.

6.1.2 Training

173. Though most of a construction worker’s skills can be gained on the job, safety is one skill set that is best learned before works enter the construction site. Occasional

trainings are held on all sites for the labourers on standard safety and security practices.

Experienced workers were also provided with same trainings to refresh their knowledge

of standard safety by attending regular training sessions throughout the project cycle.

6.1.3 Communication

174. Accidents are more likely to occur when workers are unsure what to expect. Direct

communication regarding the day’s goals and activities resulted in cut down on

surprises that could cause bodily harm. Construction workers and supervisors are


Page | 76

equipped with devices, like smartphones or headsets, which allow fast and efficient

communication among team members.

6.1.4 Supervision

175. Ideally, construction workers would fully understand the ramifications of inadequate

safety precautions and thus act in a manner to ensure site-wide well-being — but this

is not a perfect world. So, every site must have a strong supervisor who is willing and

capable of enforcing safety standards with no exceptions. Such supervision is provided

in almost all the sites (giving the best conformance level of +90%).

6.2 Opportunities for Improvement

6.2.1 Documentation

176. It is noticed almost all of the subproject sites, although the most of the environmental

issues are being catered but their documentation and record keeping is poor.

Documenting all work in the field will make issues easier than ever before to mitigate.

6.2.2 Innovation

177. The development of new practices that will enhance safety and security should always

be encouraged, and workers should avoid speaking against legislation aimed at

improving safety protocols. Perhaps with enough innovation, all construction sites can

give 100 percent conformance.

6.2.3 Transparency

178. The worst thing any construction contractor can do for its reputation is attempting a

cover-up. Hiding accidents not only lowers the opinion of a single endeavour — it paints

the construction sites as a whole in a negative light. Ultimately, people understand that

accidents happen, and as long as contractors are doing their best to foster a safe

environment for their workers, any accidents that do occur will only contribute to the

growing need to augment modern safety techniques. Transparency, along with the

other practices on this list, will help construction as a whole become a safer industry in

which to work.

7 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

179. Twelve (12) subprojects are under construction. The contractors have been directed to

ensure implementation of EMP and SSEMP to make sure environment friendly

construction. DCSC environment team had orientated contractors and their staff on how

to carry out environmental monitoring.

180. DCSC environment team has orientated all the contractors on environmental

compliances as per IEEs/EMPs. DCSC has issued notices to the contractors on non-

compliance of environmental safeguard measures related to environmental

management and health and safety of workers and public. Mutually agreed Corrective

Action Plan is also devised and communicated to the contractors. DCSC has advised

the contractor to address non-compliance as per agreed Corrective Action Plan.

181. The subprojects under construction are mostly weirs and infiltration galleries for

irrigation purposes which requires no chemical storage, while for dam subprojects the

contractors have stored the chemical material in camps at separate room, mostly at a

corner of the camp, and properly labelled with safety precautions. Also, they are advised

to use MSDS for chemicals stored at camps as currently at all the sites they have no

MSDS.

ANNEX-1: ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS COMPLETION REPORT

A. Introduction

1. The approach to Environmental Management Recommended in the project`s

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) took into account the institutional capacity in

environmental management in three districts namely Khyber, Mohmand and Bajaur of

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and aimed to use the flexibility inherent in the project to

recognize and avoid any potential environmental hazards through a step-wise process

as below:

i. Selection criteria for subprojects were designed to avoid any really obvious

environmental concerns. (Thus, no subproject was undertaken within the Protected

area or any wildlife sanctuaries or forest reserves.

ii. Every subproject was screened through Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) and

subjected to an initial environmental examination (IEE). This step would allow any

potential environmental hazard to be identified and mitigation measures drawn

up. (If it appeared that mitigation measures could not be satisfactorily designed to

ensure a minimal environmental impact, the subproject would be dropped).

iii. The detailed design of every subproject was checked before construction to ensure

that mitigation measures had been incorporated and appropriate safeguards and

required practices written into civil works contracts.

iv. Construction and operation of subprojects was monitored to ensure compliance with

environmental safeguards and that no serious environmental problem would arise.

2. The second step was undertaken during project implementation, where experts were

present in the project management Unit (PMU), Design and Construction Supervision

Consultants (DCSC) and Asian Development Bank`s (ADB) Environmental Safeguards

Team to help ensure compliance with the plan.

3. The third Step was initiated during implementation but was expected to continue into

the operational phase.

4. In summary, the approach to environmental management was to avoid major negative

impacts in the first place through:

• the subproject selection process;

• recognition and mitigation of lesser hazards identified by the IEEs;

• Ensuring of environmentally sound construction and operation, and monitoring of

subprojects to ensure sound operational practices were being followed and mitigation

measures were working as expected.

5. The under-construction FATA Water Resources Development Project (FWRDP), out of

34 subprojects, 03 subprojects are substantially completed, in addition to 6 sub projects

that were already completed and reported in the 7th SAEMR, and 13 in 8th SAEMR. The

remaining 12 subprojects are still under construction. This completion Report is the

summary of completed subprojects and the lesson learned (Environmental Practical

Experience) for under construction subprojects. The list of completed subprojects are

given below.

1) CAD of Warsak Left Bank Canal

2) Haji Lawang Kas

3) Tabai Dam

B. Project Performance during Implementation

6. The EMP contained in the report and recommendation of the ADB and EPA-KP,

specified various activities to be undertaken during subproject identification, design, and

implementation.

7. These were inevitably affected by the revisions to expected processes, as outlined in

the safeguard documents, and in fact the selection of subprojects applied broadly

involved the process of identification, catchment area and water use studies, feasibility

study, and detailed design. This complied with the original design, and environmental

aspects (especially of water resources management & EHS) remained integral to the

entire process.

8. Monitoring of the environmental aspects of project implementation was the

responsibility of the Design and Construction Supervision Consultants and

Environmental and Social Management Unit (ESMU), and of the project Management

unit (PMU) assisted by Environment Officer (PMU), Environmental specialist with

assistance of Environmentalists (DCSC). Implementing Agency performance was

generally adequate, and institutional and technical requirements of the loan covenants

were complied. Specific activities undertaken included:

• (Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) for each subproject and Detailed

designs followed the environmental assessment or IEE as captured in the Water

assessment studies and/or feasibility studies;

• (Detailed designs were approved by relevant agencies (i.e., Department

of Irrigation with the coordination of Department of Agriculture, Forestry and

Environment);

• The Environmental safeguards Documentation i.e., IEEs, EMPs and SSEMPs

are also approved by the relevant Agencies i.e., Environmental Protection

Agency and ADB.

C. Overall Assessment

9. The subprojects completed are rated successful based on the earlier assessments of

relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and likely sustainability.

10. These subprojects are an appropriate response to the recognized problems of rural

poverty, Low agriculture production and water scarcity in Erstwhile FATA of the 21st

century. Its technical composition was adequate, although if detailed formulation had

been somewhat more rigorous, the implementation delays (arising from the difficult

conditions on some subproject land, lack of contractor`s capacity.

11. The subprojects are implemented in circumstances that have continued to evolve

rapidly, yet retained its fundamental relevance. While some economic, social, and

institutional successes are now obvious at the subproject level. This is the most

fundamental shortcoming of the project to work in an area where environment and

climate-related pressures are growing.

12. The overall progress with respect to Environment Compliance is satisfactory. At the

start it was assessed somewhat very difficult, because of the tribal nature of the people

and ADB/country Environmental compliance requirements but with the passage of time,

it was improved and currently projected to 86% in the 8th Semi-Annual Environmental

Monitoring Report.

D. Lessons Learned

13. Probably the most obvious lesson is that the capacity needed to implement a project

with fully adopted Environment Compliance Procedures must be met at all levels i.e.,

PMU, DCSC and Contractors. According to ADB and Country Safeguards guidelines in

a particular area of the country, where the under-discussion compliance at this

particular tribal nature seemed difficult, particularly the contractors were also unaware

of the Environment Compliance Procedures. But the environment team and

management of the project were quite successful to achieve the goal up to the mark.

14. At all levels of involvement executing agency, consultants and contractors, all are

effective in the project performance and they must be on a single page to work for a

same cause to make sure the project is implemented smoothly.

15. It was also learned that appropriate and necessary interventions to support capacity

development and training must be included in the project scope. The most important

requirement is to focus on safety and health issues.

16. The most valuable lesson learned is the project implementors must aware the

contractors of the Environmental Safeguards requirements at an early stage to fulfil the

compliance.


Page | 82

17. At the end we can say that achievement is possible, when all the stakeholders involved

in Environmental Planning and Compliance work heartily and fully follow the prescribed

Guidelines.

18. Therefore, during the construction period of afore-mentioned subprojects, no accidents

were reported.

19. It is first project in the Tribal belt of Pakistan, where we achieved fully up to some extent

the Environment Compliance according to the Guidelines of Donor Agency.

E. Recommendations

20. The project’s design and implementation experience has yielded significant technical and institutional lessons on the nature of conditions in the water sector; as it is likely

that development of small and medium-sized irrigation schemes will continue to feature

in the sector development agenda, it is essential that these experiences are reflected

in ADB’s future analytical work, specifically in the assessment, strategy, and roadmaps

prepared as part of the country partnership strategy process.

21. An enabling environment is needed to allow farmers to supply the demand for their

production. Examples include

(i) a policy and institutional framework that promotes sound water resource

management;

(ii) a legal framework for water user associations that promotes cost recovery at least

sufficient to finance sustainable operation and maintenance (O&M);

(iii) rural infrastructure (e.g., roads that allow farmers to market their products, and farm

inputs to be delivered when they are needed);

(iv) efficient markets that are free of price distortions and barriers to competition for

both farm products and agricultural inputs; and

(v) access to information on demand, prices, and technology.

22. To successfully capture the opportunities created by growing markets, supportive

alliances must be created among upstream and downstream business partners (i.e.,

suppliers and service providers of agricultural inputs and implements such as farm

machines, agricultural processing entities and others related to markets). Extension

services must be provided; there must be access to improved seeds, fertilizers,

pesticides, and technologies; and private sector merchants must be involved in

marketing the incremental products.

23. In addition to the Environment Documentation, the Environment Compliance

Supervision at all level i.e., Client, Supervision Consultants and Contractor must be fully

technically sound and adequate in number to fulfil the requirements of the project.
