I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background

1. The Government of India has implemented projects to improve urban conditions in North Eastern region capital cities under North Eastern Region Capital Cities Development Investment Programme (NERCCDIP). The investment Programme will aim at improving infrastructure and urban service, and also strengthening the urban institutions for better service delivery and operation maintenance of the assets. The capital cities under the Programme are Agartala (In Tripura), Aizâwl (In Mizoram), Gangtok (In Sikkim), Kohima (In Nagaland), and Shillong (In Meghalaya). This report for Tranche 2 deals with the proposed investment Programme (NERCCDIP: ADB Loan 2834 IND) for Aizâwl, the capital city of Mizoram.

2. The works under the investment Programme includes development of urban infrastructure facilities in the sector for Water Supply, Sewerage & Sanitation and Solid Waste Management system. The budgetary allocation for Tranche 2 NERCCDIP program is 72 million US Dollar.Location of Aizâwl in Mizoram is shown in Figure 1.Figure 2 shows Aizâwl city map.

B. Purpose of the Report

3. NERCCDIP has been classified by ADB as environmental assessment category B (some negative impacts but less significant than category A) and the impacts of subprojects were assessed through Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) reports prepared according to ADB Environment Policy (2002,2009) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003).

4. This report is the Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR) – Tranche 2 for the period January to June 2019 to describe the “Environmental Compliance” including status of implementation of the mitigation measures and monitoring recommended in the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE).

C. Implementation Arrangement

Details on the SIPMIU and DSMC environmental cell setup and personnel

11. Environmental issues of the project coordinated by an Environmental Specialist within the DSMC, who ensures that all subprojects, comply with environmental safeguards. There is one Environmental Officer (Assistant Engineer Environment) in SIPMIU. The Safeguard Officer is responsible for implementing the environmental safeguard provisions in the project including (i) ensuring environmental criteria for subproject selection in the EARF are followed, (ii) ensuring mitigation requirements are in contractor bidding documents, and (iii) liasing with various Central and State government agencies on compliance matters. The SIPMIU appointed and manage Construction Contractors (CC) to build elements of the infrastructure that are required to submit Environmental Implementation Plans (EIPs) for SIPMIU approval. The SIPMIU is assisted by the DSMC, who is responsible for design the infrastructure, manage tendering of contracts, and supervise the construction process.

12. An Environmental Specialist (ES) in the DSMC is responsible for addressing the environmental issues in the project components during design and implementation. The ES ensure all mitigation requirements are in contractor bidding documents and EMPs, and supervise the effective implementation of environmental provisions during construction. In addition, the ES assist the SIPMIU on the procurement needs and other project

12

implementation aspects and play a central role in ensuring capacity building on environmental management of the SIPMIU, Contractor and Line Departments through capacity development support and training. Figure 3 shows institutional responsibility for implementation of environmental safeguard monitoring at different level.Appendix 2 shows safeguard team (Tranche 2) for Aizâwl.

13. EMP shows that most of the mitigation measures are fairly standard methods of minimizing disturbance from building in urban areas (maintaining access, planning work to avoid sensitive times, finding uses for waste material, etc), and experienced Contractors should be familiar with most of the requirements. Monitoring of such measures normally involves making observations in the course of site visits, although some require more formal checking of records and other aspects. There are also be some surveys of residents, as most of the measures are aimed at preventing impacts on people and the human environment.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND EVALUATION

24. For effective monitoring, selected environmental parameters have been identified as indicators which will be qualitatively and quantitatively measured and compared over a period of time in order to assess/ensure the compliance of EMP. The environmental performance indicators are physical, biological and social characteristics identified as most important in affecting the environment at critical locations all along the subproject locations. The parameters identified as performance indicators are:

Air, noise and water quality

Compliance to EMP

Compliance to local/state/national environmental regulations

25. During report period air quality monitoring has been conducted for only one package(P and SN/SEW/AIZ/T2/NCB-5) under Tranche 2. Monitoring not done for package P & SN/WS/AIZ/T2/ICB-3. Monitoring of rest of the packages not done. Package PS/WS/AIZ/T2/ICB-3 was terminated and for packageSTP/SEW/AIZ/T2/NCB civil work was completed.

26. All contractors have health and safety budget for implementation of EMP and monitoring of pollution parameters.

27. Results of air quality monitoring are shown in Table 7 below. Value of all air quality parameters are within the standard levels. Near Chite sewage pipeline area concentration ofPM10 and PM2.5 comparatively higher due to commercial activity and more traffic movement near pipe laying area. Strict application of EMP is necessary to control air pollution.

VII. GRIVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM

38. Grievances of APs will first be brought to the attention of the implementing NGO or RO. Grievances not redressed within 30 days by the NGO or RO will be brought to the grievance redress committee (GRC), established in each State. GRCs will comprise the Investment Program Director, RO, LAO, implementing NGO representative, female and male AP representatives (including vulnerable households), and an eminent member of the community. The GRC will meet every month, determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint; failing which the grievance will be addressed by the IPEC. Further grievances will be referred by APs to appropriate courts of law. Records will be kept of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint

33

was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were affected, and final outcome. All costs involved in resolving grievances will be borne by the SIPMIU. The SIPMIU through the.DSMC will keep records of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and final outcome. The grievance redress process is shown in Figure 4.The GRCs will continue to function throughout the project duration.Appendix 14shows GR registration format.There are no as such grievances registered during report period.

VIII. FINDINGS, RECOMMENDATIONSAND ACTIONS PLAN

39. Protection of local environment, health andsafety of workers engaged during construction, application of mitigation measures started as per specified EMP. Public consultation during construction/implementation phase is being carried out, the general recommendations as per present observations are given below.

40. As per ADB’s safeguard policy the project authority established a mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of affected persons’ concerns, complaints and grievances about the project’s environmental performance. The grievances mechanism should be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts of the project. It will address- affected peoples’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all the affected people at no cost and without retribution. The affected people will be informed by appropriate mechanism.

41. Table 12 provides the recommended corrective action plan that has been devised and target dates that have been set so as to remove these non-compliances. The concerned Contractors have been suitably advised.

General Effort in implementing Environmental Management Plan is carried out by the Contractors. The present status is found satisfactory but there is scope for improvement in the implementation of EMP such as – workers do not always wear proper PPE and better barricading.

Instruction to contractors and monitoring for: Proper disposal of debris and quick disposal of

excavated/dismantling surplus earth/iron material,

Complete use of PPE, Restoration/construction of approach road at

earliest Camp site management, Public safety arrangement, Maintenance of access, Material storage Water sprinkling during dry season
