INTRODUCTION1. This fifth biannual environmental monitoring encompasses the road sections from West Gate of

Dushanbe to the Uzbekistan border of the ADB Grant 0245-TAJ (SF) CAREC Corridor 3Improvement Project (Dushanbe-Uzbekistan Border)1. The Project was determined to be aCategory A environmental project for which an EIA was processed. Within the framework of theproject’s environmental management, the supervision tasks consist of continuous monitoringby the SMEC (the Environmental specialist), environmental monitoring and management ofproject implementation and assistance in ensuring the implementation of environmentalmanagement practices at each stage of the construction. The monitoring is done to complywith the environmental management plan (EMP) in line with ADB’s environmental safeguardspolicies and the environmental regulations of Republic of Tajikistan. The monitoring reportcovers the construction activities during the 6 months of the year – January-June 2014.

2. The environmental monitoring consists of two parts, and these are: (1) monitoring of thecompliance with the environmental management plan (EMP); and (2) monitoring of the ambientenvironmental conditions. The assessment of compliance with the EMP commenced with thereview of the environmental management conditions required for compliance during theconstruction stage of the project.

3. The other part of the biannual environmental monitoring is the monitoring of ambientenvironmental condition.

4. The construction activities were observed during site visits taking note of the obviousenvironmental impacts of the construction activities

5. This report was prepared on the basis of; (1) the daily checklists on selected parameters, filledby SMEC engineers; (2) monthly reports of Contractor (including environmental monitoringinformation), (3) assessment made during the site visits; and (3) and other information neededfrom the Contractor.

6. At this stage of the project, the Contractor has improved in operating an environmental system.
