Review of project and existing technical studies The consultant will define project activities and any linked and/or associated activities. The consultant will review and analyse the technical documents on environment and social, economic benefits related to the proposed infrastructure investments (Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility studies, preliminary designs, Environmental and Social Screening result, relevant field investigations and other surveys, modelling results, etc.). Task 2: Baseline Environmental and Social Conditions The Consultant will review, evaluate and update baseline data on the relevant environmental, social, economic and physical cultural heritage characteristics within the project area. Specifically, the baseline conditions should include information on: Physical environment: geology, topography, sediments/soils, surface and ground water hydrology, land pollution, water quality, air quality and sources of air emissions, noise emissions, utilities and sewage networks;Biological environment: existing flora and fauna at the site; natural habitats; waterbodiesSocial and economic: community structure; pedestrian and commuter activities; residential and commercial activities; description of direct and indirect livelihoods) Information on disadvantaged groups or persons for whom special provisions may have to be made, if affected, and in the context of developing mitigation measures;Assess whether there will be any displacements as a result of the physical works; Physical cultural property: Cultural heritage assets such as cultural, religious, historical or archaeological sites, including sacred and/or burial places, that might be affected during construction. Baseline data shall include but not limited to following: Primary data/monitoring shall define characteristics of the existing natural environment including soil, water, air, noise, land use, cultural properties and flora & fauna. Monitoring to be carried at critical locationsIdentification of specific areas for monitoring Air and Noise Monitoring at junctions, major settlements, school and hospitals etc. Water and soil monitoring. Tree inventory to be carried out, in consultation with relevant Government Department. Inventory of Cultural Property Resources shall be done along with measurements, details and photographs; consultation shall be done for gathering public opinion. Secondary Data to define meteorology, geology, climate change (flooding potential) quarries, borrow areas, disposal sites etc.Baseline conditions of ambient air and noise should be analysed by comparing with not only national standards but also WBG EHS guidelines valuesTask 3: Legislative FrameworkThe Consultant shall analyse the existing relevant laws/regulations, and add any new legislations, decisions and/or guidance notes relevant to the environment quality, health and safety, cultural property, waste management, hazardous substance storage and handling; noise emissions; protection of sensitive areas and endangered species, land-use planning, involuntary resettlement and expropriation; public information; environmental liability, etc. determining their relevance to the project. The Consultant shall also assess the institutional arrangements and institutional capacity for supervision and enforcement of ESMP during construction and operation. The consultant shall reference any international relevant legislation and treaties applicable to the project, including World Bank ESF and Occupational Health and Safety Guidelines. Task 4: Determination of potential environmental and social impacts The Consultant shall update the existing documents to determine impacts, direct, indirect and cumulative impacts, and immediate and long-term impacts related to the construction phase of the proposed works as well as once the works are finalized (operational phase). The Consultant shall propose mitigation measures and affiliated costs for each of the above identified impacts that will represent the content/summary of an Environmental and Social Mitigation Plan for the overall project during its construction as well as the operation phases. The Mitigation Plan is part of the overall project Environmental and Social Management Plan.Task 5: Analysis of Alternatives The Consultant shall review the available technical documents and summarize alternatives proposed during the project development, including the alternative of not constructing the proposed project. Such alternatives could be related to different options in terms of design of structures and facilities, selection of technologies, construction techniques, and project phasing, operating and maintenance activities. These alternatives must be compared on technical, economic, environment, and social merits and to the extent possible, with costs and benefits of each alternative. The concept of alternatives extends to siting and design, technology selection, rehabilitation/construction techniques and phasing, and operating and maintenance procedures. The alternative should also emphasize analysis of secondary/induced impacts and potential conflicts. The Consultant shall briefly compare these alternatives in terms of potential environmental and social impacts, cost and benefits. Task 6: Preparation of Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) The ESMP shall be prepared in such a manner that environmental and social requirement (mitigation measures and monitoring, technical specifications) related to the construction phase could be incorporated in the bidding/contract documents. The ESMP should include proposed enhancements such as landscaping and “greening” of the sub-project area. The World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) should be complied with in the ESMP. The ESMP should propose the criteria, procedures, and responsibilities for monitoring and enforcing all of the environmental measures included in the alignment sheets and the construction practices included on the construction specifications. The consultant shall review the authority and capability of institutions responsible for implementation of this project and recommend steps to strengthen or expand them, including proposals for intersectoral arrangements, management procedures and training, staffing, operation and maintenance training, budgeting, and financial support. This must include the institutional arrangement which needs to be set in place to implement the ESMP and the monitoring framework. The ESMP should clearly present estimated budget associated with proposed mitigation and monitoring actions as well as the institutions responsible for implementation. In addition to the World Bank Operational Policies, the consultant will refer to the following key documents: Guidelines for Managing the risks of adverse impacts on communities from temporary project induced Labor influx Environmental Health and Safety GuidelinesThe mitigation measures and environmental management plan should be sufficiently specific to provide clear guidance to the Contractors for enforcement by the engineer. The contract clauses should be focused towards specifications to be complied and enforcement with built in mechanism to take recourse on failure of implementation. For supervision, the ESMP will provide comprehensive checklists for the verification of compliance of environmental specifications by contractors and checklists for the reception of final works. The ESMP will also include a monitoring program. The mitigation measures and monitoring framework required during operations should also be prepared, in an Operations Manual and/or ESMP format for operations phase. Task 7: Stakeholder ConsultationsThe Consultant will assist the Client in undertaking at the minimum two structured consultations, during the preparation of the ESIA and ESMP. In addition, such consultations with primary and secondary stakeholders will continue throughout project implementation, as necessary to address EA related issues that affect them. For meaningful consultations with project-affected groups, communities, women of various age, persons with disabilities, elderly people, local NGOs and rights groups, all relevant documents must be provided in a timely manner prior to consultation and in a form and language that are understandable and accessible to the groups being consulted. Stakeholders should be consulted at least twice during ESIA preparation: shortly after E&S screening and before ToR is finalized, and once a draft ESIA report is prepared. Please also note the result of the stakeholder consultation should be reflected in ESIA report as well as in the project design and in implementation and operational approaches. The consultant shall be responsible for keeping a record of all such consultation meetings, for obtaining the informed views of the stakeholders.DeliverablesAfter commencement, separate reports will be submitted in as follows:An Inception and scoping report, including initial findings of environmental and social risks and impacts, proposed definition of project study area, full outline of ESIA, detailed workplan and schedule. the reports will be submitted within 1 month of signing of contract in 6 copies.

analysis and planning (used by a World Bank Borrower) to ensure that the environmental and social impacts and risks of a project are identified, avoided, minimized, reduced or mitigated.The ESA needs to meet the requirements of the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 1. Based on the requirements of ESS Section B, the recommended structure of the ESA is as follows:Introduction – description of project background and objectivesProject Description – components, locations, cost estimate, implementation planSummary of Project’s Technical AnalysesSummary of Project’s Financial AnalysesDescription of Project Area – baseline environmental (physical and biological) and socio-economic conditionScoping of Potential Environmental and Social Issues – based on project description and baseline conditions, range and extent of potential issues should be described. Initial consultations with key stakeholders can be useful for the scoping exercise.Stakeholder Engagement - consultation with affected people and other interested parties to potentially significant environmental and social risks and impacts are identifiedAdditional Assessment Requirements - Identification of specific assessment tools to carry out the environmental and social assessment and to document the results of such assessment, including the mitigation measures to be implemented. These can include Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Environmental and Social Audit, Hazard or Risk Assessment, Cumulative Impact Assessment, Social and Conflict Analyses, Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA)Institutional Capacity – description of strengths and weaknesses of implementing agency’s environmental and social safeguards track record, capacity and training requirements.Annex C: Guidelines for ESMPAn Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is a document that details:the measures to be taken during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases of a project to mitigate adverse environmental and social impacts and/or enhance the project benefitswho is responsible for carrying out the measures and also supervision responsibilitiesmonitoring and reporting activities required to ensure that the measures are implemented and working properly.allocation of resources including capacity building and training requirementscontingency plansThe following table provides more guidelines for preparing an ESMP.ESMP ComponentGuidelineSummary of impactsThe predicted adverse environmental and social impacts for which mitigation is required should be identified and briefly summarised. Description of mitigation measuresEach mitigation measure should be briefly described with reference to the impact to which it relates and the conditions under which it is required. Description of monitoring programmeThe monitoring program should clearly indicate the linkages between impacts identified, measurement indicators, detection limits (where appropriate), and definition of thresholds that will signal the need for corrective actions.Institutional arrangementsResponsibilities for mitigation and monitoring should be clearly defined, including arrangements for co-ordination between the various actors responsible for mitigation.Implementation schedule & reporting proceduresThe timing, frequency and duration of mitigation measures should be specified in an implementation schedule, showing links with overall project implementation. Cost estimates and sources of fundsThese should be specified for both the initial investment and recurring expenses for? implementing all measures contained in the ESMP, integrated into the total project costs.The tables below show example ESMP and monitoring plans.Table 1: Example Environmental and Social Management PlanSub-Projects/ ActivitiesEnvironmental and Social ImpactsSuggested Mitigation Measures/Enhancement Measures/ Environmental Design Considerations Responsible partiesLand DevelopmentDemolition of existing infrastructureLand cleaningTransportation n of debrisLand filling/raising land levelLand AcquisitionPhysical or social disruption to the existing and nearby communitiesTemporary loss of income from street venting at the selected economic zoneUnhygienic/unsanitary environment due to demolition of old latrines and construction of camps in the development siteSoil erosion/ dust pollution/siltation/water pollution/Loss of vegetationTraffic congestion due to transportation of debris.Uneven land filling causing soil erosionLoss of Agricultural landDestruction of mangrove forestLoss of water bodies(surface/ ground)Barrow pitOver flowing of canal water can cause of floodingEngage the community members in the construction workTransport/handle debris from toilet in a hygienic mannerCompaction of developed or raised landTree plantation at the economic zone boundary/slope/open spacePlacement of construction equipment in a proper place to avoid traffic congestion and compaction of soils.Collection and disposal of construction debris in a designated dumping place.There should be installation of latrine and campaign on social awareness to stop the open defecation.Afforestation with indigenous tree/ plant species within the project influence areaEnsure proper compensation to the PAPsAttempt to avoid the forest area as much as possible Construction labor should be restricted from polluting the source or misusingthe source.Shifting of source to be completed prior to disruption of the actual source.Alternate arrangements shall be made to all the water users prior to theDam are to be prepared to protect the flooding if necessary;construction activity for the identified (during Design stage) water sources(surface and ground sources) that fall in the project siteNo borrow pit will be opened without the permission of the supervision consultant.ContractorMonitoring by BEZASub-Projects/ ActivitiesEnvironmental and Social ImpactsSuggested Mitigation Measures/Enhancement Measures/ Environmental Design Considerations Responsible partiesDesign, Construction, and Operation of Project InterventionsMultipurpose building for official workNoise and pollution due to constructionThe waste form the camps during the construction of buildingWater pollution due to unplanned discharge of domestic wastewaterUnplanned disposal of domestic solid wasteDrainage congestion/waterloggingGreater demand of bricks and cement puts pressure on fossil fuel and timber which in turn reduces the forest areas and pollute airUsing locally available construction materialsRooftop plantation and gardening may reduce the excess local temperatureAccommodate a drainage of wastewaterDesign and incorporate latrineKeep an arrangement of shelter during any disasterConsider rainwater harvestingConsider solar panel for electricity supplyKeeping adequate provisions (including fire/emergency exits) for fire safety in accordance with National Building CodeEnsure materials recovery facility (MRF);

The area shall preferably slope or drain to a safe collection area in the event of a spill.Put containers and drums in permanent storage areas on an impermeable floor that slopes to a safe collection area in the event of a spill or leak.Take all precautionary measures when handling and storing fuels and lubricants, avoiding environmental pollution.Avoid the use of material with greater potential for contamination by substituting them with more environmentally friendly materials.Return the gas cylinders to the supplier. However, if they are not empty prior to their return, they must be labeled with the name of the gas, they contained, information of the supplier, cylinder serial number, pressure, their last hydrostatic test date, and any additional identification marking that may be considered necessary.ECoP 6: Water Resources ManagementProject activity/ Impact sourceEnvironmental ImpactMitigation Measures/ Management GuidelinesHazardous Material and WasteWater pollution from the storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and general construction waste and accidental spillage.The Contractor shallFollow the wastes management guidelines proposed in ECoP 5 and 6.Minimize the generation of sediment, slurry, oil and grease, organic matter, litter, debris and any form of waste (particularly petroleum and chemical wastes). These substances must not enter into waterways, storm water systems or underground water table.Discharge from construction sitesDuring construction both surface and groundwater quality may be deteriorated due to construction activities. The construction works will modify ground cover and topography changing the surface water drainage patterns of the area including infiltration and storage of storm water. These changes in hydrological regime lead to increased rate of runoff, increase in sediment and contaminant loading, increased flooding, groundwater contamination, and effect habitat of fish and other aquatic biology.The Contractor shall Install temporary drainage works (channels and bunds) in areas required for sediment and erosion control and around storage areas for construction materials. Install temporary sediment basins, where appropriate, to capture sediment-laden run-off from site. Divert runoff from undisturbed areas around the construction site. Stockpile materials away from drainage lines. Prevent all solid and liquid wastes entering waterways by collecting solid waste, oils, chemicals, bitumen spray waste and wastewaters from brick, concrete and asphalt cutting where possible and transport to an approved waste disposal site or recycling depot. Wash out ready-mix concrete agitators and concrete handling equipment at washing facilities off site or into approved bounded areas on site. Ensure that tires of construction vehicles are cleaned in the washing bay (constructed at the entrance of the construction site) to remove the mud from the wheels. This shall be done in every exit of each construction vehicle to ensure the local roads are kept clean. Soil erosion and siltation Soil erosion and dust from the material stockpiles will increase the sediment and contaminant loading of surface water bodies. The Contractor shall Stabilize the cleared areas not used for construction activities with vegetation or appropriate surface water treatments as soon as practicable following earthwork to minimize erosion. Ensure that roads used by construction vehicles are swept regularly to remove sediment. Spray water on material stockpiles, access roads and bare soils at required basis to minimize dust. Increase the watering frequency during periods of high risk (e.g. high winds, high temperature, etc.).ECoP 7: Drainage ManagementProject activity/ Impact sourceEnvironmental ImpactMitigation Measures/ Management GuidelinesExcavation and earthworks and construction yards Lack of proper drainage for rainwater/liquid waste or wastewater owing to the construction activities harms environment in terms of water and soil contamination and mosquito growth.The Contractor shall Prepare a program for prevent/avoid standing waters, which PMU will verify in advance and confirm during implementation. Provide alternative drainage for rainwater if the construction works/earth-fillings cut the established drainage line.Establish local drainage line with appropriate silt collector and silt screen for rainwater or wastewater connecting to the existing established drainage lines already there Rehabilitate road drainage structures immediately if damaged by contractors’ road transports. Build new drainage lines as appropriate and required for wastewater from construction yards connecting to the available nearby recipient water bodies. Ensure wastewater quality conforms to the relevant standards provided by DoE, before it being discharged into the recipient water bodies. Ensure the internal roads/hard surfaces in the construction yards/construction camps that generate storm water drainage to accommodate high runoff during downpour and that there is no stagnant water in the area at the end of the downpour. Construct wide drains instead of deep drains to avoid sand deposition in the drains that require frequent cleaning. Provide appropriate silt collector and silt screen at the inlet and manholes and periodically clean the drainage system to avoid drainage congestion. Protect natural slopes of drainage channels to ensure adequate storm water drains. Regularly inspect and maintain all drainage channels to assess and alleviate any drainage congestion problem. Reduce infiltration of contaminated drainage through storm water management design.Ponding of water Health hazards due to mosquito breeding. Do not allow ponding of water especially near the waste storage areas and construction and labor camps. Discard all the storage containers that are capable of storing of water, after use or store them in inverted position.ECoP 8: Erosion and Sediment ControlProject activity/ Impact sourceEnvironmental ImpactMitigation Measures/ Management GuidelinesClearing of construction sites Cleared areas and slopes are susceptible for erosion of top soils.Reinstate and protect cleared areas as soon as possible. Mulch to protect batter slopes before planting. Cover unused area of disturbed or exposed surfaces immediately with mulch/grass turnings/tree plantations.Construction activities and material stockpiles The impact of soil erosion are (i) increased run off and sedimentation causing a greater flood hazard to the downstream, (ii) destruction of aquatic environment in nearby lakes, streams, and reservoirs caused by erosion and/or deposition of sediment damaging the spawning grounds of fish, and (iii) destruction of vegetation by burying or gullying.The Contractor shall Locate stockpiles away from drainage lines. Protect the toe of all stockpiles, where erosion is likely to occur, with silt fences, straw bales or bunds. Remove debris from drainage paths and sediment control structures. Cover the loose sediments and then spray water, if required. Divert natural runoff around construction areas prior to any site disturbance. Install protective measures on site prior to construction, for example, sediment traps Control drainage through a site in protected channels or slope drains. Install ‘cut off drains’ on large cut/fill batter slopes to control water runoff speed and hence erosion.
