2.2. Project Location

12. The CIS is located in Khatlon region on the right bank of the Pyanj river and provides water supply to four districts - Hamadoni, Farkhor, Vose and Kulyab (Kulyab district is not

covered by the project under Output 2). The CIS forms the main supply of irrigation water. Water is supplied on gravity and by 20 pumping units. Map 1 shows the location of sites in the country scale.

Map 1. Location map of the project in country scale

13. Water flows into the Chubek main canal (CMC), which is part of Chunek Irrigation system (CIS), from the Pyanj river through the diversion canal, 1 km long, 30 m wide and head water intake structure with an average flow depth of 2.5 m. The Chubek Main Canal, with original capacity of about 150 cubic meter per second (m3/sec), was constructed in 1950 while the distribution system was constructed during 1950–1987 during Soviet times, to supply water to command areas located in Farkhor, Hamadoni, Kulob, and Vose districts. The head water intake structure of CMC has five compartments controlled by gates.

14. During the vegetation season from April to October, the water flow from Pyanj river ranges from 27.16 to 82.82 m3/s, and in the remaining months it ranges from 9.0 to 13.5 m3/s. The flow rate from the Pyanj river to the CMCis 3.3–3.9 m3/s.

15. Although the state of CIS is relatively better than the canals of the downstream, it is characterized by sediment deposition in the upstream; In addition, the structures are in poor condition and need the repair and rehabilitation.

16. At the initial design stage, the CIS command area was 50,163 ha, which is about 73% of the total irrigated land of the four districts. However, the command zone has now been reduced to 43,201 ha (63%) of the total irrigated land. About 71% of the irrigated territories of CIS - water is supplied by gravity, and water is supplied to the remaining territories by pumps.

17. There are 73 main and inter-farm canals in the CIS with a total length of about 396 km, of which 102 km are concrete and 499 various irrigation structures. All canals and structures were built in the 1950-1980s. The life of all structures has expired, and now they are in very poor condition and need to be rehabilitated and modernized.

2.3. Agreements (contracts) for project implementation and management

18. Project Implementation Group. ALRI as EA established a Project Implementation Group (PIG) to manage and coordinate on a daily basis the monitoring and organizational activity of the project.PIG is the leading operational institution for the implementation of the project in accordance with the Project Administration Manual.

24. BETS does not currently have an international environmental consultant. The international consultant, Dr. Sayed Latif, was only hired to update the IEE from April 2019 to April 2020. Ms.Larisa Kamilova was contracted as national environmental consultant for the period of January 27, 2020 to July, 2020, with a further extension of the contract from December 2021.

25. ADB provides support through Malika Babadzhanova, Environmental Safeguards Consultant engaged under RETA 9541, who regularly provides advice on environmental protection measures in the form of face-to-face meetings, as well as email and mobile communications.

26. Contractors. Contractors are responsible for the implementation of rehabilitation works in accordance with environmental requirements specified in the tender documentation and EMP. The PIUs work closely with Committee for environmental protection under Republicof Tajikistan (CEP) in implementing EMP. The Contractor, LLC “Nun Ken Ziang Gun”, appointed Mr. Rakhmonali Muminov as the Environment, Health ans Safety (EHS) Manager. The Contractor, JSC “TGEM” assigned such responsibility to Mr. Bakhrom Ermadov, the leading EHS engineer, and Mr. Abdurofe Mirzoev, the environmental engineer, in connection with his dismissal in September 2021, from November 2021, issues on the implementation of the EMP / ESMP are assigned to the head of the Department for HSE and Environment of JSC TGEM Rafiyev Sharif. The main responsibilities are to carry out activities and control over the implementation of environmental protection worksper EMP/SSEMP requirements.

27. In general, the project includes 5 (five) packages for civil works. On July 26, 2019, a contract No. ICB-W-2 was signed between PIG and “Nun Ken Dziang Gun” for the implementation of 3 Lots, including Lot 1.: “Rehabilitation of irrigation systems in the M.S.A. Hamadoni", Lot 2:" Rehabilitation of irrigation systems in the Farkhor district"and Lot 3:"Rehabilitation of irrigation systems in the Vose district". Practically all work under this contract consists in the rehabilitation of hydraulic structures on the irrigation canals of CIS.

28. As so as the vegetation period in Tajikistan starts from March 1 to September 30, the contractor was not able to complete works on the irrigation canals properly, since in this period water is supplied to dekhkan farms on these canals. Thus, during the vegetation period it was not possible to carry out construction works on these canals and construction work can only be carried out from the period of October to February. PIG has informed ADB that after the recent mudflows in Kulyab zone, there was a need to manufacture concrete cubes for bank protection works. It should be noted that recently in Tajikistan the impact of climate change and temperature increase has been strongly felt, which results the melting of glaciers in the formation zone of Pyanj River, which leads to mudflows and floods in the CIS zone. Consequently, there was a need to manufacture reinforced concrete cubes for bank protection works in order to prevent or reduce the risks of natural disasters. Therefore, after the PIG contacted ADB on these issues, negotiations and agreement between the PIG and ADB, there was signed a contract on all three lots to extend the ICB-W-2 contract, taking into account the end of the vegetation season and use the remaining funds for the manufacture of concrete cubes for bank protection works. This contract was extended until December 31, 2021. During the reporting period, the progress achieved under the contract as a whole is: for the M.S.A. Hamadoni Lot-1

district: 84.09%, for Farkhor district Lot-2 - progress is 61.51 % and Vose district Lot-3 is 7.52%. Total for lots 69.29%.

29. On July 24, 2020, an agreement was concluded with the Contractor, JSC "TGEM”, to implement tworemained packages on Construction of lake-type sedimentexcluding basin in Hamadoni district and Rehabilitation of PS in Farkhor and Vose districts. The data on contracts between ALRI and contractors are presented in Table 2.

30. As of the end of December 2021, the progress of the contractor, TGEM JSC, for Lot 1. of the construction of a lake-type sediment basin makes 22.49%, and for Lot 2. Rehabilitation and modernization of PS in Farkhor and Vose districts are 79.47%. Total for lots 29.20%.

V. FUNCTIONING OF SITE SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSEMP)

5.1. Review of the SEMP (SSEMP/SEMP)

116. On March 27, 2018, the IEE was submitted to Committee for Environmental protection (CEP) for consideration, and on January 28, 2019, a positive conclusion (Appraisal) was received from the State Environmental Expertise for this project (Annex 1).in April 2020. The IEE has been re-updated by international environmental expert Dr. Syed Latif, due to the changes in the parameters of the lake-type sediment excluding basin. In May 2020, a second positive conclusion was received from the CEP (Appendix 2).

117. One of the requirements under the EMP is that the construction Contractors must prepare the SSEMP before starting construction activities. On September 25, 2019, the contractor prepared SSEMP for subprojects in Hamadoni, Farkhor and Vose districts before the start of civil works to avoid risks to the health of personnel in the workplace, as well as to protect the environment. The contractor, LLC "NunKenZiangGun", has already submitted, reviewed and upgraded version of SSEMP in accordance with the ADB requirements and Corrective Action Plan for June-December 2020, as well as including safety measures due to COVID-19 pandemic situation began in 2020.

118. On July 24, 2020, the contractor, JSC “TGEM” signed the contract with PIG and on August 17, 2020, submitted the first version of SSEMP with the COVID-19 management plan before the civil works commenced. The SSEMP was reviewed by PIG and three times was returned to the contractor for revision (September 7,28 and October 27, 2020). Thus, on November 24, 2020, final approval for the last version of SSEMP was received. Table 24 shows the status of SSEMPs.
