EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is the 2nd annual report on environmental safeguards compliance of the

three (3) subprojects under the Southern Road Connectivity Project (SRCP), Loan

No: 3027-SRI funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB). The reporting period is

from May 2016 to April 2017.

The three sub projects under SRCP are;

1. Ratmalana - Mirihana Road B389, and Moratuwa Piliyandala Road B295. CP

01, and total length is 4.69km

2. Kesbewa - Pokunuwita Road B084, and Kiriulapana - Godagama Road

A004. CP 02, and total length is 16.45km

3. Mathugama - Southern Expressway B157. CP 03, and total length is 12.06km

4. CINEC Junction to Ambathale Junction Link road. CP04, Total length 1.83

km

CP 01 project is nearing at its’ completion; while the construction works of CP02 and CP03 project’s had already begun recently towards the latter part of 2016 and the project works are currently being progressed. The construction works of CP04 have still not started. Due to the adverse weather conditions that prevailed, heavy showers and floods were experienced during the initial stage of the reporting period (April-May 2016). However, the weather was mostly dry throughout the latter part of the reporting period and was favourable for construction activities. The baseline sampling of the selected environment parameters were collected and reports were submitted to the PMU by CP-02 and CP 03 respectively, while only operational period sampling is planned to be collected in CP-01. Moreover, the contractors have obtained the relevant licences and approvals that were required to execute the construction activities. No major environmental impacts were observed during the reporting period, because CP 01 road works are almost completed and the works of other projects’ have just started. Nevertheless, we have observed few shortcomings on safety matters which were however rectified then there.

1. INTRODUCTION

Sri Lanka is an island, blessed with lush green forest and year around temperate

climate. It has hilly terrain in middle and south west part with surrounding flat

law terrain. The South-West part of the country experiences more rainfall and

defined as Wet Zone, and while other parts mostly North- West and South-West

parts received less rainfall defined as Dry Zone of the country.

For administrative purposes, the island has been divided into seven administrative

divisions. The Central Government is situated in Colombo District, where the

parliament is situated in.

Considering the strength of each province in terms of economic and political, the

Southern and the Western Provinces are ranked amongst the first level of

administrative divisions of the island. These two provinces have vital economic

development compared to the other five provinces of Sri Lanka. These two

provinces contribute over 60% of the country’s GDP while other provinces

contribute the rest. The southern Province's capital is Galle, while Colombo is the

capital of the western province. Subsistence farming and fishing is the main source

of income for the vast majority of the people of the Southern region but recently

the economic activities witnessed some degree of diversification viz tourism and

related economic activities such as hotels, boutiques, villas, handicrafts, travel

guiding, and tour organizing. The majority of people are well educated and enjoy

decent healthcare facilities and other common amenities.

A vast majority of the people are keen to enter the newly created economic space

through the Southern highway network which links all the strategically important

townships along the way. These townships are poised to boost new economic

development opportunities in the area which are also situated in close proximity to

famous tourist destinations.

In view thereof, the southern road connectivity project will help improve the

connectivity between expressway network and the local transport network in

southern region. Accordingly, it is proposed to develop 33.5 km of national

highways linking with the three interchanges of the southern expressway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_division

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galle

7

The proposed development will not only improve the expressway connectivity but

would also help manage the future traffic volumes.

Southern Road connectivity project will improve five priority national highways

which provide connectivity to three interchanges of Southern Expressway. The

priority roads are selected according to the current road condition and capacity,

traffic demands, and readiness for improvement. The road will be widened,

upgraded and realigned as necessary to meet the projected traffic demand for the

next 20 years. The pavement is designed for life up to 10 years that could be

extended to 15-20 years with proper maintenance and excess axle load control.

Bridges, drainage structures and culverts will be improved and replaced as

required. Road safety audit will be incorporated into the engineering designs and

monitored during construction period. The details of the selected roads are

furnished below;

4. Completion of the Environmental Compliance

The SRCP projects have been categorized under “B” category of the ADB

environmental and safeguard policy statements in 2009. Therefore the PMU have

submitted only IEEs reports to ADB regarding the five road sections. The Basic

Information Questionnaire, which is a report that included all the significant and

anticipated impacts of the proposed project, was submitted to the CEA for each

projects, the B084 and A004 roads fall under the EIA category while other projects

(B157, B 389 and B 295) only required basic questionnaire. The status of the

government compliance details are as follows;

4.1. CP01: Rathmalana-Mirihana (B389) and Moratuwa-Piliyandala (B295)

The Initial Environmental Examination reports (IEE) had been submitted for the

Rathmalana-Mirihana and Moratuwa-Piliyandala road respectively. Those reports

were approved by the ADB.

The environmental approvals are granted by the Central Environmental Authority

(CEA) based on the Basic Information Questionaries to implement the road works

for the above two projects. The validity period of above project roads will expire in

the year 2017 and renewal is not required because the construction works of the

road have almost been completed (See Annex 01).

Consultant.

4.4. Changes in project scope The proposed scope of the project of Southern Highway to Mathugama has been

amended as follows.

Mathugama-Southern Highway (B157), the initial approvals were granted to carry

out about the 12 km length to 32 km post from 40 km post. The two kms length has

been excluded from 30km to 32km, as 2Km length has already been developed

through an another project. Hence, there has been a reduction in the road length

from 12.37 km to 10.37km.

20

5. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATIONS AND

COMPENSATION MEASURES

Based on the approved EMAP, the sub-project contractor has to periodically carry

out the monitoring of selected environmental parameters such as ambient air

quality, noise levels, water quality and vibration levels. The contractor should

monitor the above parameters during the pre-construction (Baseline), construction

and post- construction or operation period of each project road.

In order to prevent lowering of green cover along the road due removal of existing

tree/bushes, the contractor is obligated to implement suitable tree planting

programs along the road or within the project road area.

In additionally the contractor should rehabilitate their all material sourcing

locations, yard and disposal sites, immediate after the completion of the project

activity.

5.1. Moratuwa - Piliyandala (B295) and Ratmalana - Mirihana (B389) 4.64 km.

Collection of baseline and the construction stage data have been completed. Data

was collected by the approved sub-contractor of Industrial Technology Institute

(ITI) during 2015-2016. The results have been submitted to the PMU of the RDA.

The operation stage data will be collected as immediate after the road section

completed and handed over to the client.

During the construction period of B295 road, all the readings of water samples

found to be similar to baseline values but TSS was less and E Coli had increased

not due to construction activities. B 389 when compared with baseline values, pH

was at neutral range, TSS decreases and E coli level has increased, not due to

construction activities. It was identified that the domestic waste water discharged

into surface water body was coursed to increase E-coli in the area.

According to the noise measurement test results of B 295, allowable noise level is

75dB(A). Except at B389 in front of Mahamaya School (80dB(A) and at B295 near

Indra Traders, Piliyandala (76dB(A), noise level all the other locations were within

allowable levels.

21

Except for location, Kospalana Junction, all the parameters of other locations were

well below the ambient air quality standards. TSPM level is high at Kospalana

Junction, this may due to vehicular movement of the road.

As per the given vibration data, all the measured levels (baseline data) are within

the standard level. The vibration levels have not exceeded with normal vehicle

movement of these two road sections.

A detail of observed data during the pre-construction period is given in Appendix

02.

Considering about the awareness programs, there were nine (09) programs which

are related to HIV/AIDS, Human Trafficking, and Environmental awareness held

by the project staff during the reporting period as follows.

Collection of baseline data has been completed and this activity was done under

the approved sub-contractor. The Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) was selected

for the above purpose and it was conducted in December 2016. The results have

been submitted to the PMU of the RDA. The construction stage data will be

26

collected within six month intervals and next sampling will be conducted on June

2017.

According to the test results of water quality, pH is within standard levels, while

ground water sample did not fall within the stipulated levels. pH is acidic (6.2),

standard in 6.5-8.5 range. pH acidic due to soil nature. This type of soil contains the

Humic acid. All six samples of “BoD5” levels are within standard level. However

all the locations’ day time background noise level was higher than the permissible

level of the area and total suspended particulate matter (TSPM) of air quality

monitoring was lower than the permissible level of 450µg/m3 of the all sampled

locations.

During the reporting period, there was one (01) program on HIV/AIDS conducted

by MOH office staff with coordinating of the National HIV/AIDS Control Unit of

Colombo. The program was useful to improve the knowledge of the construction

workers as well as community members of project area.

Similarly, the contractor has conducted two road safety awareness programs with

participation of Police traffic control units within the area. The details of conducted

programs are as follows,

Having discussed about the tree planting program, a plant nursery is established

to maintain the selected saplings inside the contractor’s yard which is intended to

be used for future tree planting programs along the road. In comparison to the CP

01 project road, this road has adequate spaces within the ROW which can be used

to tree planting activity.

In addition to the above mentioned program, the contractor was requested to carry

out the plant enrichment program along the Piliyandala bypass road which was

constructed by previous project of NHSP funded by ADB. A greenery program

29

was previously conducted and now it is likely to be abandoned. Therefore the

client has requested to carry out the plant enrichment program.

5.3. Southern Expressway - Matugama Road (B157)- 10.37km

Initially, the collection of baseline data has been completed and the task was

carried out by Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) which is a government own

institute. The activity was conducted on December 2016. The results have been

submitted to the PMU of the RDA. The construction stage data will be collected by

six month intervals and next sampling will be conducted on June 2017.

With regards to the submitted test results of water quality, the pH, BOD and

oil/greece content were at its standard level in all locations. According to the

measured vibration levels, the maximum permissible levels of interim vibration

standards have not been exceeded with the vehicle movements of this road section.

As compared to the measured results of air quality, TSPM (03hr) average was

lower than the permissible level of 450µg/m3 at all locations.

During the reporting period, there was one (01) program on HIV/AIDS conducted

by MOH office staff with coordinating of National HIV/AIDS Control Unit of

Colombo. The program has been organized for the community in the

neighbourhood of project area and as well as for the construction workers.

6. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Based on the approved EMAP, the sub-project contractor has to periodically carry

out the monitoring of selected environmental parameters such as ambient air

quality, noise levels, water quality and vibration levels. The contractor should

monitor the above parameters during the pre-construction (Baseline), construction

and post- construction or operation period of each project road.

6.1 Moratuwa - Piliyandala (B295) and Ratmalana - Mirihana (B389) 4.64 km

Collecting of environmental parameters such as Air quality, water quality, Noise

and Vibration levels for Pre-construction (baseline data) and the construction stage

had been observed. The task was assigned by the approved sub-contractor of

government of Sri Lanka. The project road and the material sourcing locations

were also subjected to monitoring and the following table shows the data collecting

activity of the CP 01 project.

Table 6:1 The dates of environmental parameters monitoring

Parameter Baseline Construction stage I Construction stage II

Water 06/10/2015 30/06/2016 21/09/2016

Air 06/10/2015 30/06/2016 12/09/2016

Noise 13/10/2015 28/04/2016 02/08/2016

Vibration 13/10/2015 14/06/2016 04/08/2016

The detail of the observed data that was during the pre-construction period is

given in Appendix 2.

According to the observed water quality data of B295 road, it was similar to baseline

values, but TSS was low and E-coli had increased during the construction stage I and II

data. In B 389 road, when compared with baseline values, pH in neutralize range, TSS

decreased and E-coli had increased during construction stage II data. Considering about

the air quality results, baseline measurements were carried out with 8hr average but

during the construction stage I and II data measurements were carried out with 1hr

average. All locations in both roads of B295 and B 389, the TSPM (1hr) was higher than the

allowable level (500μg/m3) during the construction stage II. The noise level of B295 road,

the measured levels of two locations (Kospalana and Suwarapola) were higher than the

33

baseline values during the construction stage I and II, but lower than the allowable

level(75dB(A). At Piliyandala town, measured levels were lower than baseline values and

lower than allowable level. B 389 road locations, all three locations during construction

stage I and II measured locations are lower than baseline values and lower than the

allowable level (75dB)

6.2 Kesbewa - Pokunuwita Road (B084) and Kirulapana - Godagama Road

(A004).

Baseline data collection for the pre-construction stage of the project roads, i.e. the

Ambient Air, Water, Noise and Vibration levels, were collected before

commencement of the main construction activities. The data was collected in

December 2016, and the construction stage data will be collected in June 2017.



Considering about the water quality results, the pH values were within the

standard for all surface water samples, but ground water samples’ pH was 6.2,

which was not within standard. All eight locations of air quality samples of B084 ,

A004 and all plant sites baseline values of TSPM (3hr average) was lower than the

permissible level of 450/μg/m3. According to noise levels, most of the locations

background level is higher than the permissible level of the area and all existing

measured noise levels are higher than the permissible levels at day times. These

may due to existing traffic nature. The results of the vibration levels of the project

area, maximum permissible levels (1.0, 2.0, or 4.0) of interim vibration standards

have not become exceeded with the vehicle movements of these road sections.

6.3 Southern Expressway - Matugama Road (B157)

Similarly, the baseline data collection of the project road was collected before

commencement of the main construction activities. The observer of the event was

Industrial Technological Institute (ITI). During the sampling, water, air, noise and

vibrations were sampled along the project road as well as selected material

sourcing location of the contractor.

34



According to the measured water quality of all three locations pH, BOD and grease

content are within standard. All three locations of air quality samples, TSPM 3hr average

is lower than the permissible level of 450/ug/m3. The all existing measured noise levels

are higher than the permissible level of day time, this may due to traffic noise. Considering

about the vibration levels, permissible level of interim standards have not been exceeded

with vehicular movement of this road section.

6.4 Compliance Inspections

During the reporting period, road construction works were progressing in all sub-

projects while CP-01 works were nearing completion.

Monthly field inspections were carried out by Environmental Specialists of the

Employer, PIC and Contractor. Appendix 03, summarizes the activities carried out

in CP-01, CP-02 and CP-03 Sub-projects, their impacts to the environment (as

observed during each field visit mainly by the ES of PIC), suggestions given by ES

to mitigate, avoid or minimize the adverse impacts, effectiveness of the migration

measures adopted, and any further action needed.

Although the contractors have been placed in good category based on the EMP

implemented, their traffic and safety measures should be upgraded further due to

high traffic congestion in the project area, especially in the morning and evening

time at CP01 and CP02. The detailed compliance to EMP is provided in Appendix

04 and their activities are separately discussed as follows.

Considering the total number of 19 mitigation actions to be complied in CP 01

project, 13 actions have been fully complied; while six (6) mitigation actions are

partly complied. The main reasons for the partly complied actions were; the

activities will be implemented after handed over the road sections. Other than

these, set of all other mitigation actions were completed by the contractor.

Because of newly started projects, all the mitigation actions that are described in

EMP should be implemented or complied by the contractors of CP02 and CP 03.

The monthly payment item for EMP requirements is provided in the contract. The

payment is released after receiving of the recommendations based on the monthly

inspections and observations by employer and the PIC Environmental Specialists

(ES) with participation of the contractor’s Environmental Officer (EO).

According to approved payment percentage of the EMP payments (Table 6.2), the

contactor has obtained 75% of average payment values base on the EMP

implementation activities done during each month.

The following table shows the monthly payment percentages that had been made

to the contractor based on the EMP implementation in the project.

7. PUBLIC COMPLAINTS

The Grievance Redress Committees (GRCs) have been established to look into the

public complaints regarding the social and environmental impacts during the

period of construction works for every sub project. The GRC considers the

problems that could not be solved directly by the Employer, Consultant and

Contractor. The GRC committee holds meetings with all responsible parties to

yield the best solutions for the problems.

The PMU and Divisional Secretary arrange the GRC meetings upon receiving of

public complaints to solve the problems. Considering the number of complaints

received so far, there were two GRC meetings conducted at Divisional Secretariat

Office in Kesbewa to discuss the received 04 complaints regarding to CP01 project

and these problems have been solved.

The above mentioned GRC meetings were conducted at Divisional Secretariats office in Kesbewa respectively on 23rd December 2016 and January 2017.

38

Figure: 2.1 The GRC Committee members including chief incumbent of Buddhist temple, Project Engineer of CP01, Divisional Secretariat (Kesbewa) and Resettlement Assistant were chaired and discussing about the public complains.

Further, the employer, the consultant and the Contractor attend the public

complains which are received in written form and through the electronic media (E-

mail, Fax and Telephone). Moreover, all complains received have been listed out

and discuss in the monthly progress meetings. The summary of the received

complaints up to 31st March 2016 are given in Appendix 05. There were 99

complains have received from both B295 and B389 roads so far, most of them are

requesting of cover slabs and proper access to their hoses and business premises.

Among them 70 complains were already solved and others are being completed by

involving the related line agenesis. Some of the complaints await to insurance

claims and those cases will be completed immediately after the claim area received.

Likewise, there were 31 complaints received so far from CP 02 project, among these

complaints 15 have been solved, while 13 are pending and, 3 are progressing. In

the same way there were 44 complaints received up to 31st march 2016 from CP 03

project, while 15 complaints are already solved, 18 complaints are being

progressed and 11 complaints are pending.

In the monthly environmental meetings progress, they draw their attention and

discuss about the public complaints.

In addition, small scale Community Committee Meeting had been conducted by

CP 01 project (mainly by appointed Environmental Officer of the project) aiming

to address the public disturbances while construction activities are progressing.

It was suggested to conduct the Community Committee Based Organizations if

necessary in the project affected areas in CP02 and CP 03 (public and private

authorities and personnel) which will address the problems regarding the

constructions.

9. CONCLUSION

The guidelines for Environmental protection and pollution control for construction

activities are clearly defined in the EMP for all sub-projects. In addition, the

Contractor’s EMAP provides further specific time lines & schedules to protect

project impacted areas by observing the selected environmental parameters (i.e.

Water, Air, Noise & Vibration) to ensure that the surround environment is

protected.

Firstly, the completed project road of CP 01 was successfully implemented their

proposed mitigation measures that were proposed by employer and the consultant

during their site observations. The issues at the contractor’s Asphalt plant were

satisfactorily solved, but he had taken a long period of time to rectify these issues.

Therefore, the all contractors must be taken the proposed remedial actions as soon

as possible because these impacts are irreversible. It was revealed that the

contractor’s quick response/actions are very important when addressing the

construction related environmental problems.

Secondly, the weekly site inspections are carried by the Contractor, while Monthly

Inspections are continued by the Environmental Specialists of the Employer and

PIC. The monthly environmental meetings conduct regularly and the contractor’s

participation was satisfied.

Site inspection will be regularly carried out to ensure that Environmental impacts

are being adequately mitigated and to ensure continuation of compliance with

stationary regulations as required by laws and accepted in the EMP. The

Contractor is being regularly guided and instructed to pay attention to

environmental issues and adhere to the provisions of EMP and his own EMAP.

The ongoing projects (CP02 and CP 03) environmental monitoring activities are

being progressed as proposed scheduled while final stage monitoring activity will

be completed by CP 01.

Finally, the overall status of implementation of environment safeguards under the

project is satisfactory.
