I. INTRODUCTION

A. Purpose of the Report

1. ADB Loan 2695-BAN, the City Region Development Project, commenced in July 2011 and the

implementation consultants joined the project in the later part of 2012. Safeguard specialist was

hired directly by the PMCU towards the end of 2012.

2. The ADB Public Communications Policy (PCP 2011) references the Safeguard Policy

Statement (SPS 2009) in respect to information disclosure related to project safeguard

documentation, and states that “ADB shall post on its website *among other+ documents submitted

by the borrower and/or client . . . the safeguard and environmental monitoring reports, upon receipt

by ADB.” (PCP 2011) SPS (2009) contains similar wording in reference to posting of “environmental,

involuntary resettlement, and Indigenous Peoples monitoring reports submitted by

borrowers/clients during project implementation upon receipt” and goes on to specify under

“Monitoring and Reporting” that “the borrower/client will submit at least semiannual monitoring

reports during construction for projects likely to have significant adverse environmental and social

and resettlement impacts, . . .”

3. The present report is the fifth Semi-Annual Safeguard Monitoring Report to be prepared

under the loan. This report compiles environmental monitoring results to comply with the spirit of

ADB policy to “enhance stakeholders’ trust in and ability to engage with ADB, and thereby increase

the development impact *of projects+” in which disclosure of safeguard monitoring is a prominent

aspect.

B. Overall Project Description and Objectives

4. CRDP aims at enhancing growth potential and improving environmental sustainability of the

target city regions using an approach based in regional and urban planning. Under the project, a city

region is defined as an organic agglomeration of a large metropolitan city (City Corporation),

surrounding secondary towns (Pourashavas) and adjacent peri-urban areas (urban centers). The

Project targets city regions centered at Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and Khulna City Corporation

(KCC). The Project supports the development of key urban infrastructure, focusing on projects that

enhance the urban environment and spur local economic development. The Project also supports

the Government to improve regional and urban planning, and to strengthen municipal management

and capacity for effective and sustainable urban development.

5. The infrastructure investments or subprojects being undertaken under the CRDP will

improve the social environment of the target municipalities. Some of the sub-projects are

concerned with reducing human exposure to pollutants. These include improvement of water

supply and sanitation, drainage and solid waste collection. Other sub-projects target transport and

commercial infrastructure, including improvement of roads and bridges, markets and bus terminals.

A further category is urban improvement using an integrated approach that provides for basic urban

services along with community water supply and sanitation. These latter projects take place in

‘urban centers’, which are small agglomerations of population outside the district centers. Urban

center improvements targeted under Phase 2B (see below) have been expanded under SIDA funding

to cover additional localities.

4

C. Description of Subprojects

6. Proposed subproject investments are shown in Table 1. As can be seen these cover a range

of improvements under Batch 1, developed during the PPTA, then focus primarily on road and

drainage improvement under Batch 2A developed during the loan implementation phase, followed

by urban renewal projects of a multi-sector nature, which focus on the commercial areas of urban

centers at sub-district (Upazila) level.

D. Environmental Category of Subprojects

8. The CRDP is classified as category B with respect to environment; therefore, subprojects are

considered Category B.

9. Requirements of the Government of Bangladesh are set out in the Environmental

Conservation Act and Rules (1995 and 1997), which classifies subprojects as Green, Orange A and B

and Red Categories. The Department of Environment (DOE) has granted an Environmental

Clearance Certificate to the CRDP that applies to all subprojects with the exception of those in the

Red Category (water treatment plants and distribution line laying/relaying/extensions, landfills, and

bus and truck terminals), by means of a letter No. DoE/Clearance/5194/2013/180 dated 21/07/2013.

Under DOE rules, EIAs are required for water supply and sanitation projects (“Water, power and gas

distribution line laying/relaying/extension” – DOE, ECR Schedule 1). A consolidated EIA report

covering the water supply and sanitation subprojects proposed for Gazipur and Ashulia was

prepared according to an approved terms of reference, and was approved by DOE shortly after the

end of the reporting period (DOE Clearance 5194/2013/07, letter dated 9 Jan 2014).

E. Personnel Responsible for Environmental Monitoring

10. Monitoring of mitigation measures during construction are the responsibility of the PIU

Environmental Management Officer, supported by the PMCU Environmental Specialists. The

monitoring system involves a Monitoring Checklist, which reflects the requirements of the EMP and

Special Conditions. The checklist is filled in quarterly by the PIU and PMCU Environmental

Specialists.

II. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH NATIONAL STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

12. The DOE-issued Environmental Clearance Certificate referred to in Sec. I.D covered all

subprojects with the exception of Red Category subprojects, and attached no special conditions

therewith. A combined EIA has been submitted by the PMCU and approved by DOE for the Gazipur

and Ashulia Water Supply and Sanitation Subprojects, the only two red category subprojects thus far

to reach bidding stage.

13. All requirements of the Department of Environment related to environmental clearance are

being met and DOE does not require monitoring and reporting for CRDP subprojects. There is no

other regulation of the Government of Bangladesh related to environmental management applicable

to CRDP.

10

III. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LOAN COVENANTS

14. The covenants to the loan agreement with ADB, to which KfW and SIDA are parties, requires

that “subprojects are designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in accordance with

Borrower’s Environmental Conservation Rule 1997, ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statements (2009) and

EARF prepared for the Project and agreed between the Borrower and ADB and KfW.” Other

covenants written into the loan agreement related to disclosure, grievance redress and

IV. APPROACH FOR SAFEGUARD MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING

A. Environmental Safeguard Framework

15. The Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF) was prepared during the

PPTA, which establishes the basis for environmental review for the CRDP. The EARF also sets out the

organizational structure for environmental management within the Project Management and

Coordination Unit (PMCU), the Management, Design and Supervision Consultant (MDSC), and the

Project Implementation Units (PIUs). Specialist staff to be hired for supporting environmental

management functions of the PMCU is set out in the EARF. Under the PPTA, Draft Environmental

Management Plans (EMPs) were prepared for sample subprojects as part of the IEE reports. EMPs

and supporting criteria inclusive of environmental specifications for inclusion in construction

contract tender documents provide the basis for monitoring compliance with the EARF.

16. IEEs for the original subprojects proposed under the PPTA have been approved by ADB,

including the IEEs for Gazipur and Ashulia Water Supply and Sanitation, Gazipur Drainage, Ashulia

Road and Drainage, and Banani Integrated Traffic Management (final approval still pending). An IEE

was prepared and submitted to ADB for the Khulna Drainage and Flood Protection subproject.

These IEEs have been posted on the ADB and LGED websites. Environmental review for the

remaining Batch 1 subprojects were either addressed through a due diligence report, for which no

update is needed (Tongi Energy Conservation), or are being reassessed due to changes in scope

(Shakhari Bazaar Urban Renewal Subproject) or location of facilities (Narayangonj Solid Waste

Management-alternate site being identified).

17. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of sub-projects has to be prepared and concurrence

on the IEEs of the development partners has to be obtained. Status of IEEs up to December 2015 is

shown in Table 5.

B. Environmental Performance Indicators 18. Environmental monitoring occurs at the subproject level by observing performance during

the construction phase. Environmental specifications reflect general construction requirements

identified in the subproject environmental management plans (EMPs). A provisional sum to cover

environmental mitigation is included in the bid price where needed; though costs for implementing

the general requirements of the environmental specification are considered the responsibility of the

contractor and are part of the overall bid price.

C. Subproject Environmental Monitoring 19. The system for environmental monitoring consists of observations using a checklist for

comparison with contractor performance that reflects the requirements of the construction

specifications. The standard CRDP checklist is shown in Appendix 1. Performance is expressed as a

percent of requirements being met by the contractor. The checklist allows for omitting any

requirements not seen as applicable to the specific works, while any special requirements set out in

the subproject EMP are also monitored. Performance tracking is used in a manner that provides

consistent semi-annual reporting, with the objective of improving performance of contractors. The

environmental specialist conduct field visits during the reporting period, complete the checklist for

active subproject contracts, and discusses the results with the site supervisor. As a part of the

monitoring program, field visits undertaken in the recent months are summarized here below:

Based on field visits of subprojects, the Loan Review Mission (10 to 18 November 2015) has

observed, “Overall the mission was satisfied with the quality of construction works of the visited

subprojects.”

Visit of Savar Thana Road in December 2016

Mr. Md. Hamidul Hoque, Deputy Project Director (DPD) of the Project, visited Savar in December

2015 to see the progress of work of Savar Thana road. The road was found to be a busy one;

expediting the improvement work of the road was found to be an imperative. The DPD urged the

contractor to expedite the work and to plan judicious and synchronized mobilization of his work

force so as to optimize time for completion of the work. The DPD underlined that such modus

operandi would reduce suffering of people due to construction activities and save time facilitating

faster completion of the work.

D. Capacity Building

20. Capacity building is aimed at orientation and training of PIU staff in ADB’s safeguards policy

and management. Training is conducted by the Environment Specialists (international and national)

and covers integration of environmental considerations into project implementation and procedures

for monitoring and reporting.

A follow-up training on safeguard issues and monitoring using the standard checklist was undertaken

in Dhaka office for the Municipal Engineers of the project responsible for Singair, Manikganj and

Savar Pourashavas. Training Handouts and necessary Training Documents were distributed to the

participants. This training helps in increasing ability of the participants to improve quality control and

safeguard activities in construction works.

Another a 1-day training on quality control, safeguard and gender activities was conducted on

December 14, 2015 at Narayanganj City Corporation Training Hall with participation of Narayanganj

City Corporation Technical and Non-technical staff members, MDSC Junior Engineers and Contractor

and his Site Engineers/Project Managers.

Very recently, a routine in-house training was organized for few Municipal Engineers of CRDP to

enhance their capacity to undertake the environmental impact monitoring work in an efficient

manner.

Environmental and social issues discussed in training programme

The orientation–cum-training programme conducted for pourashavas covered the following:

Discussed the uniqueness of the CRDP project that has new construction as well as

rehabilitation works belonging to various sectors viz. transport, water supply, drain, street

lighting and city beautification, etc.

Explained the need of safeguard documents and implementation of safeguard measures in the

project in light of the loan covenants, GOB and ADB requirements...

Discussed the safeguard issues related with various stages of the project and also presented

some case study related to the CRDP to explain the relationship of safeguard issues and project

cycles.

Discussed the various social issues in the participating Pourashavas observed/reported by

safeguard team during implementation of the various Sub-projects. Mitigation measures

suggested and implemented in various city corporation/Pourashavas was also discussed.

Specific issues of safeguard measures discussed included issues of the Design Stage and

Construction stage.

Consideration of Climate Change Effects in CRDP

A rapid assessment for the climate change effects in terms of a) Climate Adaptation Assessment (climate proofing) and b) Climate change reduction assessment (Emission Saving) from projects are being addressed in the planning and design of the sub-project interventions and the construction materials used therein are expected to make any substantial contribution to Greenhouse Gas Emissions, rather the measures present the possibility of adaptation of the target groups or eco-systems.

V. COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING PLAN

A. Status of Recruitment

21. International and national environmental safeguard specialists were engaged in the project

over the period on intermittent basis.

B. Subproject Environmental Safeguard Performance

22. Environmental safeguard activities over the reporting period include the following:

Batch 1 subproject IEEs are complete as described previously; the IEE for the Integrated

Traffic Management at Banani Subproject was revised based on ADB comments, with final

approval pending; IEEs for both Narayanganj Solid Waste Management and Shakari Bazaar

Urban Renewal await final decisions regarding siting and scope, respectively.

Monitoring commenced for Batch 1 subprojects inclusive of Gazipur Water Supply,

Sanitation and Drainage, Ashulia Urban Services, and Khulna Drainage Improvement

Projects.

IEEs were prepared for Batch 2A subprojects as described previously and monitoring

undertaken for subprojects in progress.

IEEs have been prepared for Batch 2B subprojects under ADB financing

Field trips to municipalities, pourashavas and urban centers were undertaken during the

reporting period for monitoring and to provide guidance to contractors.

IEEs for three of the KfW-funded transport improvement subprojects in Khulna are complete

and have been submitted to KfW. Preparation of IEEs of another two Kfw-funded

subprojects is progressing and will be submitted soon.

The EMPs and Environmental Specifications are being included in contract bid documents

and engagement contracts.

The CRDP monitoring system is being used in the field and contractors are responding with

improved performance of mitigation measures.

Three training sessions were conducted for PIU and contractor staff.

A follow-up training on safeguard issues and monitoring using the standard checklist was

undertaken in Dhaka office for Singair, Manikganj and Savar Pourashavas

The Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is in use. Grievance committees have been

formed by local government units where there are active subprojects.

C. Summary Lists

23. Table 6 lists subproject lots (contracts) in progress during the current reporting period.

There are a total of 76 lots. Table 7 shows contractor performance against major indicators. There

are six indicators that are used to compile performance results for monitoring variables found in

Appendix 1 based on observations during site visits. Values ranging from 0 (non-compliant) to 4

(best performance) are assigned and later averaged for the performance indicator. Indicators

include: design and preparation (preconstruction and construction start-up requirements, for which

there are 13 monitoring variables); worker provisions (7 monitoring variables), gender equity (3) and

community based monitoring (public consultation and disclosure—2 variables); community values

and safety (13); hydrology/water pollution (5); and project completion (7 variables).

20

24. Overall performance of the works of all the contracts under Gazipur City Corporation (GCC)

and Manikganj Pourashava appears to be in the range of fair to good, and most of the indicators of

these contracts have recorded fair to good scores. As regard project completion performance, 15

contracts for drainage improvement and flood protection in Khulna city have been complete with

score of 100% in the project completion indicator. However, it is worth mentioning that in all

contracts of the pourashavas under CRDP most of the performance indicator result fare to good

score. Noticeable improvement pertinent to environmental management and performance has

been noted in almost all the contracts. Environmental training and meetings in the reporting period

could be the reason. It is to be noted that contracted labors are mostly from rural areas; they have

hardly any idea of environmental management, especially issues of health and work safety. In this

context, contractors need to provide their workforce environmental awareness training in order to

avert occupational health risk and accident.

VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

25. Environmental mitigation measures related to subprojects are being implemented in line

with the Environmental Safeguard Framework; performance is generally according to plan.

Environmental review through use of IEEs and EIAs is done in conjunction with subproject design and

is on schedule. Training has been completed for PIU staff on active subprojects. Contractors are

required to mitigate environmental impacts, and monitoring is being conducted by the

environmental specialists and PIU staff. Where mitigation measures are lacking, contractors are

urged to improve their performance. The GRM is in the process of being implemented with

Committees formed at local level.

26. Active areas for improvement for subprojects under implementation include the following:

Overall improvement of environmental performance is needed on most contracts through

preparation of site construction EMPs, designation of an environmental officer by

contractors and closer attention to mitigation measures.

Workers need to be equipped with safety equipment, which is lacking at most jobsites.

Housing and sanitary facilities for workers are also substandard on some of the contracts,

whereas at other locations these facilities are up-to-standard and/or are not necessary

because of hiring of local labor.

Contractors and PIUs do not formally engage communities in consultation; however due to

the small size of subproject formal public consultation is not justified. Affected parties can

and do directly approach site supervisors to remedy a particular problem or inconvenience.

PIUs need to post notices regarding the grievance redress mechanism and the ability of an

affected party to seek redress on an environmental issue.

Some community safety issues are only partially addressed by contractors. At some

locations better barricades need to be erected around open excavations where the public

has access. Temporary access to homes and businesses need to be properly constructed for

subprojects under implementation.

Use of temporary signage and flagmen is deficient on many contracts. These elements

should be used where they could assist traffic flow and pedestrian safety.

Wind-blown dust and mud/gravel on road surfaces is common at many sites. Contractors

need to remove stockpiled materials that are no longer in use from the jobsite; and reduce

material losses from trucks hauling sand and spoil by covering loads and by removing

materials from tires and truck underbodies before transport. Contractors need to be more

willing to dedicate labor time for cleaning roadway surfaces.

27. The PMCU has made significant strides in improving environmental awareness of the need

for mitigation measures among the PIUs and construction contractors. Environmental specialists will

continue to work with PIUs and contractors to realize performance improvements.
