During this reporting period, DMS consultants assisted contractor ICB 2.11 for updating IEE report for first batch (DMA No. 307, 311, 320 and 408). For updating IEE report, DMS consultants asked to ICB 2.11 to submit following information:

➢ Profile of DMA (Where DMA area is located, Thana and Ward no.; boundary, Roads,

name where pipe line will be laid down, Population, Household, cultural and

archeological site (mosque, mazar, school, college, temple and so on) major water

bodies (Canal, Lake etc.)


Page | 16

➢ Provide necessary site layout map for each DMA showing exact location of the

contractor’s activities, site office, labor camps, material storage area, waste disposal point, toilet facilities etc.

➢ Provide detail contact of designated Environmental Officer, Health and Safety Officer

and Resettlement Officer

➢ Number of workers (skilled and unskilled);

➢ Details of plant, equipment and machinery, vehicles;

➢ Work duration (total, and activity-wise, for example for pipe laying, from excavation to

road resurfacing/testing);

➢ PPE (helmet, gloves, boots) details for each type of activities;

➢ Details of materials at each site (type and quantity);

➢ Construction waste/debris generated (details and quantity);

➢ Detail the sequence of work process (step-by-step) including specific details of each

work;

18. After getting above information from ICB 2.11, DMS consultants prepared and submitted updating IEE report of First batch to ADB through PMU on December 19 for their review and approval.

Revising IEE Report for ICB 2.12

19. The Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for ICB 2.12 was prepared earlier (January 2016) considering 19 DMAs. During preparation of the report those 19 DMAs had not been demarcated by hydraulic area. Now ICB 2.12 implies for 7 DMAs and location of those DMAs has been selected. So, DMS consultants feel to revise some portions of those reports (mainly project description chapter) highlighting updated information and location of 7 DMAs. Other chapters in those reports would remain same. Before tendering process, revise IEE will be completed and included in the tender documents. After detail design of ICB 2.12, revised IEE will update subsequently.

20. During this reporting period, DMS consultants prepared revised IEE report and submitted to ADB through PMU for review and approval. ADB made the following major comments on revise IEE report of ICB 2.12.

• Pollution prevention and abatement

• EHS guidelines

• Submit environmental monitoring plan

• EMP budget

• Guidance on handling asbestos pipes

• EHS supervisor mobilization 8ICB The following Table shows the status of various

safeguard documents prepared by contractor/DMA consultants during this reporting

period.

21. DMS Consultants incorporated all comments from ADB environmental safeguard specialist on revised draft IEE Report of ICB 2.12 and submitted to ADB through PMU for approval.

B. EMP Compliance Status

22. Field activities under ICB 2.8, ICB 2.9 and ICB 2.11 has not been started yet. During reporting period, site specific EMP including updating of IEE under first batch of ICB 2.11 has been prepared and submitted to ADB for approval. On the other hand, updating IEE including SEMP is ongoing of first batch under ICB 2.8. Site specific EMPs are generally revised semi annually as per progress of construction works. Appendix 4 shows Site Specific EMP for ICB 2.11 under first batch. 23. The compliance monitoring status for implementation of mitigation measures against impacts on air, water, soil environment, social and safety aspects is enclosed in Appendix 5. Summary compliance status of EMP application and actions/ corrective measures is presented in Table 3 below.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND EVALUATION

24. Site specific EMPs will be the basis for monitoring works. Prior to commencement of any civil work, the contractor will submit a compliance report to DMSC ensuring that all identified pre-construction environmental impact mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP will be undertaken. DMSC will review the report and thereafter PMU will allow commencement of civil works. The format of the monthly environmental monitoring report along with Sample Environmental Site Inspection Report and Sample Checklist for Construction safety are attached as Appendix 6. 25. 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:

o Air, noise and water quality

o Compliance to EMP

o Compliance to local/state/national environmental regulations


Page | 18

26. During implementation process, performance monitoring fact sheet will be maintained against each possible environmental impact and will be attached with the monitoring report. Appendix 7 shows the Performance Fact Sheet for implementation of EMP at pre-construction and construction stage. 27. Before commencement of construction works, ambient air quality, noise level and water quality will be carried out by each contracts Packages which is considered as baseline data.

28. Base line air, noise and water quality monitoring will be carried out at respective DMA areas as per monitoring plan of updating IEE report. Result format of ambient air quality, noise level and water quality data are presented in Table 4. Table 5 and Table 6 respectively.

V. MAJOR PROJECT ISSUES AND PROBLEMS: ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXT

29. Construction activities for Contract Packages ICB 2.8, ICB 2.9 and ICB 2.11 have not been commenced yet. Till date, no major issues and problems have been encountered with, at each DMA locations.

VI. CONSULTATIONS AND DISCLOSURES CONDUCTED 30. Consultation and disclosure will be a continuous process throughout DWSNIP implementation (ICB 2.8, ICB 2.9, ICB2.11) involving public consultations and focus group discussions. Within the reporting period, no “during work” consultation and disclosures conducted at DMA locations since no physical work is started. Now the Civil works contractor has updated IEE report for ICB 2.11 under first batch (DMA 307, 311, 320 & 408) and submitted to ADB for approval. During reporting period, no local level consultation meetings were conducted for updating IEE due to general election in Bangladesh. Those consultation meetings will be conducted during January 2019. 31. Pubic consultation during construction/ implementation phase will be planned as per the requirement. Appendix 8 shows the blank consultation format for recording.

32. Orientation training program has been arranged for contractors, supervisors by DMSC’s Environmental Specialist on safety and environment. Minutes of the meeting is attached in Appendix 9.

33. There are series of informal discussions with DMSC engineering design team and PMU, PMU mainly on understanding current situation and optimum design to be adopted in order to attain the objectives of taking up the work items.

VII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS

34. A common grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has been established for social, environmental or any other subproject related grievances.

35. PMU will maintain a Complaint Cell headed by a designated Grievance Officer at its office. The Grievance Registration/Suggestion Form (Appendix 10 and Appendix 11) will be available at the Complaints Cell and in Zonal Offices and will also be downloadable from the DWASA website (link to DWASA website : https://dwasa.org.bd/dwsnip/).

https://dwasa.org.bd/dwsnip/


Page | 20

36. Grievances/ suggestions of affected persons can be dropped in suggestion boxes or conveyed through phone or mail. Affected Persons will also be able to register grievances – social, environmental or other, personally at Complaint Cell of head quarter (PMU Level) and Zonal offices (PCU Level) of DWASA. The Grievance Officer and designated official at the Zonal will be able to correctly interpret/record verbal grievances of non-literate persons and those received over telephone. The Complaint Cell will also serve as Public Information Centers, where, apart from grievance registration, information on the Project, subprojects, social and environmental safeguards can be provided.

37. The Grievance Officer will resolve simple issues and in case of complicated issues, consult/seek the assistance of the Environment/Social Officer of the PMU. Grievances not redressed through this process within one month of registration will be brought to the notice of the Project Director, DWSNIP.

38. Periodic community meetings with affected communities to understand their concerns and help them through the process of grievance redress (including translation from local dialect/language, recording and registering grievances of non-literate affected persons and explaining the process of grievance redress) will be conducted if required.

39. Grievance Redress Committee (GRC): GR committee set up notification has been done both for PMU and PCU level on 19.12.2018. The GRC committee are shown below:

to the affected persons. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be displayed/disclosed in the offices of the different Zonal office of DWASA and web. Project-affected people can also send their grievances directly to ADB through the Bangladesh Resident Mission and/or to ADB’s Accountability Mechanism.

42. To resolve all project related grievances and complaints a common social and environmental grievance redress mechanism will be in place. Common and simple grievances will be sorted out at project site level by the Contractor’s Resettlement Supervisor, supervision staff of PMU and project NGO within 7 days. More serious complaints will be sent to the safeguard officer at the PMU to be resolved in 14 days. Any unresolved grievances will be forwarded to GRC to be resolved within 21 days. Despite the project GRM, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage.

Figure 2: Flow Chart of GRM Process


Page | 22

43. Consultation Arrangements. This will include group meetings and discussions with affected persons, to be announced in advance and conducted at the time of day agreed on with affected persons and conducted to address general/common grievances; and if required with the Environment/Resettlement Specialist of PMU/DMSC for one-to-one consultations. Non-literate affected persons/ vulnerable affected persons will be assisted to understand the grievance redress process, to register complaints and with follow-up actions at different stages in the process.

44. Record-Keeping. Records will be kept by PMU/PCU Office/Contractors’ site office of all grievances received including contact details of complainant, date the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were in effect, and final outcome.

45. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be displayed/disclosed in the offices of the different MODS zone of DWASA and web. The phone number where grievances are to be recorded will be prominently displayed at the construction sites. 46. Periodic Review and Documentation of Lessons Learned. PMU will periodically review the functioning of the GRM and effectiveness of the mechanism, especially on the Project’s ability to prevent and address grievances.

47. All costs involved in resolving the complaints (meetings, consultations, communication and reporting / information dissemination) will be borne by PMU.

VIII. ISSUES AND ACTION PLAN

48. Experience from ADB-funded urban projects show complex social, economic, legal, institutional, and management issues in urban development – largely derived from realities of urban life in developing countries like Bangladesh. Urban projects typically consist of a variety of infrastructure such as roads, water, wastewater, solid waste, and slum improvement/upgrading activities. It is important to mention in this context that the final detailed engineering design in each sub project of DWSNIP will be prepared keeping in mind to avoid or minimize social and environmental impact as far as possible. However, since all the developments foreseen are city centric, it is difficult to avoid any impact whatsoever in densely populated towns or cities.

49. With the development of project under DWSNIP the action plan will be considered for timely and satisfactory environmental compliance. Sample suggestion & action plan format is shown in Table 7. Since major physical works under Package ICB 2.8, ICB 2.9 and ICB 2.11 not yet n started, action plan will be developed with the progress of the project.

IX. SAFEGUARDS TRAININGS

50. The Mission conducted a one-day training on environmental and social safeguards on 4 November 2018 and attended by PMU, consultants and contractors. The topics discussed ADB safeguards requirements including overview of ADB SPS, safeguards documents, and monitoring. The training helped the Mission, PMU, consultants and contractors to have a common understanding of next steps to be taken under the project. The PMU Environmental Officer and DMSC Environment Experts are expected to conduct safeguards induction to contractors upon mobilization, strictly monitor SEMP implementation particularly on workers health and safety, identify training needs and deliver safeguards training for project stakeholders. Capacity building on these topics will continue to be supported by ADB. The workshop minutes is attached in Appendix 13.
