3. Environmental Safeguard Activities

3.1. General Description of Environmental Safeguard Activities

The Contractors Section IIA and IIB had prepared Site Specific Environmental Management

Plans (SSEMPs) separately for their respective sections which were reviewed and approved by

NHA and ADB. Moreover, the Contractors prepared separate SSEMPs for the temporary camps

and concrete batching plants, which too were reviewed and approved by NHA and ADB. The

Contractor section IIB prepared an Environment Due Diligence Report (DRR) for installation of

asphalt plants which was reviewed and approved by NHA and ADB in the second half of year

2017. On Package II total 34 Affected Person Committees (APCs) for the Grievance Redress

Committee were constituted. The Grievance Redress Committee for section IIA had been

constituted in the first week of August 2016 and for section IIB in the third week of August 2016.

The GRC in each section comprises of representatives one each from the 17 APCs, Concerned

Contractor Environmental Engineer, the consultant Environment Specialist and headed by the

concerned Project Director NHA for section IIA and IIB respectively. The Contractor Section IIA

and IIB have provided complaints registers in all camps. In section IIA 1 grievance received in

the second half and six in the first half of the year 2018, and redress of all of them is awaited.

While in section IIB, 20 grievances received, and 17 of them have been redressed, redress of

the remaining grievances along with 3 pending from the first half of 2018; are in progress and

shall be redressed shortly. The pending grievances were regarding leveling of borrow pits, and

as the Contractor machinery was engaged in construction works therefore leveling of all borrow

pits prolonged, however these grievances shall hopefully be redressed by February 2019.

The Contractor section IIA had employed one Environmental Engineer, who worked till March,

2018, while the Contractor section IIB has employed Environmental Engineer since

commencement of the project and working till to date. The Contractor IIB environmental team

has been regularly inspecting fire extinguishers, hand and power tools, machinery, PPEs,

housekeeping, and in addition delivers safety tool box talks at camps, plant and active

construction sites. In the reporting period 49 tool box talk sessions were delivered by the

Contractor section IIB environment team, while no sessions were arranged by the Contractor

section IIA, as contractor’s environmental engineer is not on boards from March 2018.

The service road on left side of the carriageway been utilized till May 2018; however,

construction vehicles are using the main carriageway for the time being. The service road is

being maintained to a certain extent in both sections. Safety signboards at the construction’s

sites, plants, workshops and traffic signboards on the service road were installed. Earth material

for embankments was borrowed from approved borrow pits 500 meters away from the RoW. In

section IIA, 122 borrows pits had been approved, utilized and 101 have been rehabilitated, while

in section IIB ,236 borrows pits had been approved and 228 have been leveled and

rehabilitated.

Waste water treatment and solid waste management is being done as per the SSEMP, in all

camps, concrete and asphalt batching plants. In the camps waste water is being collected in the

septic tanks and disposed in the soakage pits. Solid waste is being collected primarily in the

waste drums provided at necessary locations, and then collected to waste collection points for

segregation; the reusable and recyclable materials are collected and the remaining wastes are

disposed in the municipal solid waste dumping sites. Fire extinguishers have been installed at

9

the offices, camps and plants. They are inspected and refilled regularly. Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) including high visibility vests, safety helmets are being provided to all the staff

and workers, working at camps and construction sites, furthermore they are instructed regularly

regarding their proper use and importance. The provision and use of PPE by Contractor section

IIA are weak while Contractor at section IIB is satisfactory. Provision of safe drinking water is

being maintained for the workers and staff at site camps and construction sites. The quality

analysis of drinking water at section IIA has been conducted in the month of March, 2018 for

camp 1. The quality analysis of drinking water at section IIB has been conducted in the month of

July and November, 2017 for camp 1 and camp 2 respectively. The drinking water provided at

both camps is fit for drinking. The ambient air quality and stack gases analysis of the asphalt

plant 1 and 2 have been conducted in the month of February and July 2018, respectively. While

in section IIA the ambient air quality and stack gases analysis of asphalt plant was conducted in

the month of February 2018.

The overall occupational health and safety measures implemented by the Contractor section IIA

remained reasonable, while unsatisfactory by Contractor section IIA.

3.2. Site Audits

The Supervision Consultant Environment Specialist is regularly visiting Contractors camps,

construction sites; borrow pits along with concerned Contractor environment team. Moreover,

visiting for environmental monitoring, safety audits, grievances redress and joint safety tool box

talks. The Contractors environment teams are checking construction sites, camps, borrows pits,

delivering safety tools box talks, and orientation sessions to workers, staff and following up

grievances redress, on daily basis. The frequency of Consultant’s environment specialist

monitoring visits varies from month to month but ranges from 3 to 5 times each section every

month. Same is the frequency section IIB Contractor’s environment team between 20 to 25

times per month, almost one visit daily in a month. However, the Contractor section IIA

environmental engineer is not available from March 2018.

The ADB environment specialists Ms. Safia Shafiq and Ms. Shazia Shahid visited M-4 project

Package II and III on November, 12, 2018; to inspect construction sites, camps and compliance

of environmental management plan. The significant observations/ non-compliances during the

visit are outlined below, with relevant advice/ suggestion.

1. It was observed that workers in the main camp and active construction sites on the main

carriageway were working without Personal Protective Equipments both in section IIA and

IIB. The mission advised that PPEs should be provided to all staff and workers.

2. Housekeeping in the main camps was found unsatisfactory especially in the workshop area

and steelyard, therefore proper housekeeping was advised.

3. The mission observed that adequate safety measures/ barricades were not in place at active

construction zones, workers and staffs were exposed to hazards due to vehicles commuting

on the main carriageway. It was advised that proper safety measures need to be

implemented including barricades, signboards, flagmen, etc.

10

4. The mission advised that site restoration plans for the camps, pug- mills and batching plants

or wherever the Contractor had acquired land for temporary facilities, should be prepared

separately for both sections.

5. The mission advised that the vacant positions of environmental engineer and paramedic

with the section IIA Contractor should be filled at the earliest.

The common issues/ non-compliances being observed over the current year are non-availability

of PPEs and safety signboards, in both sections.

4. Results of Environmental Monitoring

4.1. Overview of Monitoring Conducted during Current Period

The qualitative environmental monitoring is being carried out during construction activities and

verifies that they are undertaken in compliance with the requirements set forth in EIA/EMP and

Site Specific Environmental Management Plans (SSEMP). In package II the service road is no

longer utilized since June 2018 by the project vehicles and machinery and instead is using the

main carriageway. Therefore, the PM10 has not been conducted in the reporting period;

however, the service road on the left side is leveled and maintained from time to time for public

use. Moreover, the noise monitoring has also been conducted regularly by section Contractor.

Due to unavailability of environmental engineer with Contractor IIA, environmental monitoring

has not been conducted from March 2018.

4.1.1. Noise and Vibrations: Noise monitoring is being done on a monthly basis at four different locations in section IIB.

Noise level results show that most of the activities are done in its permissible limits. The result

of noise monitoring is attached as Annexure II.

4.1.2. Drinking Water Quality Analysis: Mineral drinking water is provided to main office and residential facilities at Para Colony Toba

Tek Singh in section IIA. While at the main camp and construction sites drinking water is taken

from a deep well near camp. The drinking water quality analysis for main camp source was

conducted in the month of July, 2017. At the Contractor section IIB camp 1 and 2 bottled

drinking water are being provided, while at the construction sites drinking water are taken from

any nearby sources. Drinking water quality analysis for section IIB has been done in 2016 and

2017.

4.1.3. Waste Water Analysis: Waste water from washrooms and kitchens are collected and treated through septic tanks and

soakage pits at all camps in both sections. Currently no waste water is discharged into

agriculture fields or irrigation water channels from any camp.

4.1.4. Air Quality: Ambient air quality monitoring and stack gas analysis for section IIA asphalt plant have been

conducted in the month of March 2018, while for section IIB asphalt plants it has been

conducted in the month of February and July 2018. The results of ambient air quality monitoring

and stack gas analysis monitoring are attached as Annexure II.

4.1.5. Particulate Matter (PM10) The particulate matter monitoring has not been conducted since April, 2018, in both sections

except for the asphalt plant 2 in section IIB, which was conducted in the month of July, 2018.

The monitoring results are attached as Annexure II.

13

4.2. Summary of Monitoring Outcomes The asphalt plants in both sections are no longer operational. Service road is not used, project

vehicles and machinery are utilizing the main carriageway; therefore there is no need of ambient

air quality and stack gases analysis. Noise monitoring is being done regularly.

4.4. Waste Management 4.4.1. Current Period

Solid waste is being managed in both sections IIA and IIB as per the respective SSEMPs.t. The

wastewater is being managed as per the SSEMP, for instance waste water collected in septic

tanks and then disposed in the soakage pit. Currently no waste water is disposed into irrigation

water channels and/ or agriculture fields. All the solid waste (garbage and trash) generated in

the camps is being collected in waste drums and shifted to a primary waste collection point

inside the camp. After collection it is segregated, the reusable and recyclable are collected. The

remaining waste is disposed of properly at the nearest designated municipal solid waste

dumping sites. Following is the estimated data of solid waste generation in both sections.

However, the data and amount of construction waste i.e. steel, waste concrete, wooden

shuttering waste, used vehicles filters, mobile oil, cement bags etc., is not being maintained by

Contractors, and hence cannot be estimated at this time. But it shall be maintained and

recorded for the coming months.

4.5. Health and Safety 4.5.1. Workers and Community Health and Safety The construction activities have certain impacts on the occupational and public health. At the

work sites hazards are eliminated/ minimized through engineering controls and administrative

controls, if the controls do not eliminate the hazards appropriate PPEs are being provided to the

workers. Workers are being trained and equipped with the appropriate Personnel Protective

Equipment’s (PPEs). The Contractors Environmental Staff are regularly visiting the construction

sites and plants, inspecting workplaces, hand and power tools, working platforms and delivers

safety tool box talks. The Contractor section IIB is comparatively better than the Contractor

section IIA in implementation of safety measures and provision of PPE. It is ensured that the

workers wear the required PPE according to their nature of work. They are being motivated to

wear safety helmets, safety shoes, hand gloves, dust mask etc. and other necessary protective

equipment while working at site, plant, workshops. The provision and use of PPE by workers

and staff of Contractor section IIA is poor while that of Contractor IIB is comparatively better and

satisfactory. A first aid facility with paramedic provided first aid to workers and staff till March

2018 in section IIA while in section IIB it is still serving. A great number of workers and staff

were served first aid in these first aid facilities in both sections.

For the health and safety of surrounding communities’ certain measures are implemented. For

instance; safety and traffic control signboards are installed on the service road and road

crossing where necessary, in addition to flagmen deployment. Moreover, water sprinkling is

maintained on service road to suppress dust. Several safety, caution and informatory

signboards have been installed near community houses at the edge of service road.

Unauthorized trespassing particularly of children is strictly monitored. In the beginning of the

project dissemination sessions regarding health and safety had been delivered in the

surrounding communities of the motorway. Furthermore, community’s grievances are also being

registered and redressed positively.

4.6 Training Workers are being trained in order to impart awareness to them about the actual and potential

hazards in their workplaces and prepare them for safe work practices. In this regard tool box

talk sessions are being delivered on regular basis. The list and details of tool box talk sessions

delivered by Contractor’s environment team in section IIB from July to December, 2018 is

attached as Annexure III. The conspicuous topics covered in the tool box talks are about use

and importance of PPEs, working at height safety, housekeeping, hand and power tools safety,

electrical safety etc. the duration of tool box talks is usually 10 to 15 minutes.

16

5. Functioning of the SSEMP

The overall performance and implementation of SSEMP by Contractor Section IIA is

unsatisfactory. Provision and use of PPE was poor, solid and liquid waste management in the

camps is unsatisfactory, working platforms found unsafe and safety measures at active

construction sites and camps not up to the requirements. The partial implementation of SSEMP

and poor work zone safety is due to Contractor’s low understanding level of the importance of

safety requirements. However the implementation of SSEMP, the health & safety measures

implemented by the Contractor Section IIB is satisfactory. PPEs are provided to all workers/

staff and are being used. The health & safety measures implemented at the active construction

sites and in the camps are satisfactory.

The mitigation measures outlined in the EIA and SSEMP are sufficient however their

implementation remained weak especially Contractor paid least attention to the health, safety

and environment.

17

6. Good practice and opportunity for improvement

6.1. Good Practice

The provision and use of personal protective equipments, safe working platforms by Contractor

section IIB from start of the project till to date remained adequate. A first aid qualified paramedic

staff and an ambulance vehicle have been in place on section IIB. The health and safety

measures resulted in a safe working environment, negligible incidents and injuries. Contractor

section IIB environment team arranged safety tool box talk and orientation sessions regularly.

Environmental monitoring being conducted regularly, to date. Solid and liquid waste

management has been carried out as per the SSEMP, which subsequently caused in least harm

to the environment.

6.2. Opportunities for Improvement

The Contractors environmental engineers were not qualified and experienced enough for the job

they were appointed. Contractors should consult and hire environmental engineers with consent

of the supervision consultant. Contractors should submit written method statements prior to

every major construction activity to the supervision consultant and implement them accordingly.

18

7. Summary and Recommendations

7.1. Summary

The health, safety measures and implementation of the SSEMP by Contractor section IIA has

been unsatisfactory while implementation of SSEMP by Contractor section IIB was satisfactory.

7.2. Recommendations

Health, safety and environment is a vital part of the construction projects, where prior to every

construction activity proper procedure i.e. work permits, risk assessments, method statements

etc., are set and implemented, however the Contractors are yet not familiar with these concepts.

These aspects should be kept an integral part of the bidding contract. Moreover, there is lack of

penalty procedures in the contract in case of major non-compliance by Contractors; therefore

Contractors are least interested in the environmental and health & safety compliance. In light of

the above it is recommended that;

• A practical penalty should be incorporated in the project contract and must be applied in case of non-compliance, depending upon severity of the non-compliance.

• A specific amount for environmental and health & safety compliance should be allocated in the BOQ.

• The amount allocated for environmental and health & safety compliance should be paid to the Contractor, if complied otherwise deducted and vice versa.
