EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
Kaduna State is one of the beneficiaries of the World Bank Assisted Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP). The project coordination, in the State, is by the State Project Coordinating Unit (SPIU) which is under the State Ministry of Works and Transport. The aim of this project is to improve accessibility and enhance mobility in a sustainable manner in the rural areas of the State with a view to, improving the quality of life of the rural population. In the effort to achieve the main objectives of this project, the SPIU has undertaken techno-economic studies for the detailed designs for the rehabilitation, construction and maintenance of 132 drainage crossing structures namely, bridges, culverts and other crossings, in the State.
Existing Policy, Legal and Administrative Frameworks
Environmental Impact Assessment Act No. 86 of 1992 gives specific powers to the Federal Ministry of Environment to mandate an EIA on development projects of this nature, whether private or public sector.
The World Bank’s Operational Policies (OP) includes guidance on Environmental Assessment requirements. The Bank’s Safeguard Policies, ten of them, is meant to ensure that operations of the Bank and her borrowers do not lead to adverse impacts or cause any harm.
These were considered in the development of the EMP
The Project
The project involves the identification of river crossings for reinstatement, construction, repairs of damaged, washed away, and or missing river crossings in rural areas of Kaduna State. The emphasis is on the provision of river crossings along rural roads in the State.
The construction of these structures is expected to bring about the solution to the problem of rural inaccessibility in the State, on the one hand. On the other hand, in the course of construction, especially and operation some negative environmental (adverse) impacts could result.
It is in the light of this that Environmental Management Plan was designed by the SPIU for the proposed project. This Environmental management plan (EMP) consists of the set of mitigation, monitoring, and institutional measures to be taken during construction of the river crossings and operation with a view to eliminating any adverse environmental and social impacts, offset them, or reduce them to acceptable levels. The plan also includes the actions needed to implement these measures.
Potential Impacts and Mitigation
Table A below outlines the potential impacts identified and the corresponding mitigation measures that should reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to acceptable levels.

The Federal Ministry of Environment EIA procedures are illustrated in Fig. 2.1
Procedurally, in Nigeria, it is worthy to note that before commencement of an EIA, the FMENV issues a letter of intent on notification by the proponent, approve the terms of reference, ensure public participation, review and mediate. However, the categorisation of the project into I, II and III determines the level of this latter part. The ministry’s project-categorization is shown in Fig. 2.2.
The possible technical activities expected for a proposed project include screening, full or partial EIA Study, Review, Decision-making, Monitoring Auditing and Decommissioning/Remediation post-closure

Category I
2.1.2 Forestry Law Cap 55, 1994
The Forestry Act 1958 which was amended as the Forestry Law CAP 55 (1994) prohibits any act that may lead to the destruction of or cause injury to any forest produce, forest growth or forestry property in Nigeria. The law prescribes the administrative framework for the management, utilization and protection of forestry resources in Nigeria.
2.1.3 Land Use Act of 1978
The land-use Act of 1978 states that it is “in the public interest that the rights of all Nigerians to use and enjoy land in Nigeria in sufficient quality… to enable them to provide for the sustenance of themselves and their families” through assured, protected and preserved environmental amenities.
2.2 State Ministries/Environmental Protection Agency
In Part III of the FEPA ACT, the State Governments in Nigeria are encouraged to set up “their own Environmental Protection Bodies for the purpose of maintaining good environmental quality in the areas under their control.”
In consonance with this and the need to protect public health and safety, restore and enhance environmental quality, and sustain economic vitality through effective and efficient implementation of environmental programmes in the various States, the Kaduna State Government established the Ministry of Environment and its Parastatals, Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority.
Inter alia, the Ministries are empowered to give direction to all issues concerning the environment, monitor and control pollution and the disposal of solid, gaseous and liquid wastes generated by various facilities in the states.
Some of the functions of the State Ministry of Environment include:
i) Liaising with the Federal Ministry of Environment, FMENV to achieve a healthy or better management of the environment via development of National Policy on Environment
ii) Co-operating with FMENV and other National Directorates/Agencies in the performance of environmental functions including environmental education/awareness to the citizenry
iii) Responsibility for monitoring waste management standards,
iv) Responsibility for general environmental matters in the State, and
v) Monitoring the implementation of EIA studies and other environmental studies for all development projects in the State.
2.3 International Legal And Administrative Instruments
Nigeria subscribes to a number of International Regulations and Conventions relating to Environmental Protection. International Development Partners/Agencies such as World Bank and other financial organizations interested in development projects have sets of environmental categorizations, assessments and management standards, which must be complied with by project proponents before these institutions invest in them.
Thus, since the RIVER CROSSING PROJECT is co-sponsored by the World Bank, it is of paramount importance to consider the World Bank Requirements on Environmental and Social issues relating to it.
2.3.1 The Bank’s Safeguard Policies
The World Bank’s Operational Policies (OP) includes guidance on Environmental Assessment requirements. The Bank’s Safeguard Policies, ten of them, is meant to ensure that operations of the Bank do not lead to adverse impacts or cause any harm.
The Safeguard Policies are lumped into Environment, Rural Development, Social Development and International Law.
The following four out of the ten whose main elements are summarized in Box 1 are relevant for considerations. These include:
• Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01);
• Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12);
• Forestry (OP/BP 4.36); and
• Management of Cultural Property (OPN 11.03).
Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)
The OP 4.01 requires among others that screening for potential impacts is carried out early, in order to determine the level of EA to assess and mitigate potential adverse impacts. The Bank’s project screening criteria group projects into three categories:
• Category A – Detailed Environmental Assessment;
• Category B - Initial Environmental Examination and
• Category C – Environmentally friendly
The EA ensures that appropriate levels of environmental and social assessment are carried out as part of project design, including public consultation process, especially for Category A and B projects. The OP 4.01 is applicable to all components of Bank financed projects, even for co-financed components.
Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)
The Policy on Involuntary Resettlement is intended to assist displaced people arising from development projects, in order not to impoverish any affected people within the area of influence of projects. An action plan that at least restores the standard of living must be instituted, in cases where resettlement is inevitable or loss of assets and impacts on livelihood occurs. Public consultation of “re-settlers” as well as the host communities is significant for the successful resettlement process and implementation of the action plan, in order to incorporate appropriate choices.
Forestry (OP/BP 4.36)
The OP/BP 4.36 aims at enhancing the environmental and social contribution of forested areas, and the need to reduce deforestation. The protection of forests through the control of forest-related impact of all investment operations is a concern of the policy. It promotes the restriction of operations affecting critical forest and conservation areas, while requiring that the sector and other relevant stakeholders should be consulted as appropriate.
Management of Cultural Property (OPN 11.03)
The policy is premised on the need to investigate and take inventory of cultural resources likely to be affected. Mitigations are provided for in cases of adverse impacts on physical cultural resources. Mitigation measures should be undertaken in conjunction with the appropriate authorities, organizations and institutions that are also required to be consulted and involved in the management of cultural property.
Bank’s Policy on Disclosure
The Bank’s policy on disclosure currently under review requires that all the people residing in the given areas of a project have the right to be informed of the proposed development project in their respective areas. Prior to project appraisal therefore, the summary of the study of the development action along with other relevant information should be disclosed to or at the level of the Bank and the project area.
The World Bank and Nigeria’s EA requirements and operational procedures were harmonised as far as possible, which makes this EMP responsive to the objectives of good practice, in the following respects:
• Early consideration of environmental and social issues;
• Identification and early consultation with stakeholders;
• Prevention of adverse impacts through the consideration of feasible alternatives; and
• Incorporation of mitigation measures into planning and (engineering) design.
The main levels of EA following screening (i.e. screening outcomes) under the Nigerian Regulations are that:
• No further EA required;
• Partial/Preliminary Environmental Assessment required;
• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) required;
This corresponds in principle with the Bank’s EA requirements of:
• Category C;
• Category B;
• Category A;
2.4 National and State Legislative Framework for Transport
Under the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, there exists the Federal Government of Nigeria. The State Governments including the Federal Capital Territory and the Local Governments. Legislative functions for all levels of government are clearly spelt out in the 1999 Nigerian Constitution. Thus, the Federal Government has exclusive jurisdiction to legislate on matters set out in the Exclusive Legislative List as set out in Part 1 of the Second Schedule to the Constitution.
Matters such as Railways, Construction, alteration and maintenance of roads that are declared by the National Assembly to be Federal Trunk Roads, and Maritime shipping and navigation including shipping and navigation on tidal waters are within the exclusive preserve of the Federal Government to legislate, control and generally deal with. Therefore the State Government cannot for instance, pass any laws or legislate on matters within the Exclusive Legislate List.
|Box 2: Some Relevant World Bank's Safeguard Policies |
|Policy |Focus |
|OP 4.01 Environmental |The core requirement of this Policy is that screening should be done as early as possible for potential impacts |
|Assessment |and selection of an appropriate instrument to assess, minimize and mitigate potentially adverse impacts. |
| |Environmental Assessment (EA) ensures that appropriate levels of environmental and social assessment are carried |
| |out as part of project design. It also deals with the public consultation process, and ensures that the views of |
| |PAPs and local NGOs are incorporated as early as possible for Category A and B projects. |
| |It is worth noting that OP 4.01 applies to all components of a project with financing from the World Bank, |
| |including co-financed components by the Borrower or by other funding agencies. |
|OP/BP 4.12 Involuntary |This Policy is based on assisting the displaced persons in their efforts to improve or at least restore their |
|Resettlement |standards of living. |
| |The impetus of this Policy is that development undertakings should not cause the impoverishment of the people who|
| |are within the area of influence of the undertakings. In cases where resettlement of people is inevitable, or in |
| |cases where loss of assets and impacts on the livelihood of the PAPs is experienced, a proper action plan should |
| |be undertaken to at least restore, as stated above, their standard of life prior to the undertakings. |
| |Concerning public consultation, resettlers as well as the host communities should be consulted for the successful|
| |implementation of the resettlement process. The views of the consulted resettlers and the host communities should|
| |be incorporated into the resettlement action plan (RAP) including the list of their choices. |
|OP/BP 4.36 Forestry |The Policy envisages the protection of forests through consideration of forest-related impact of all investment |
| |operations, ensuring restrictions for operations affecting critical forest conservation areas, and improving |
| |commercial forest practice through the use of modern certification systems. |
| |In the process of forest conservation interventions, especially the local people, the private sector and other |
| |pertinent stakeholders should be consulted. |
| |In general, the Policy aims at reducing deforestation and enhancing the environmental and social contribution of |
| |forested areas. Experience with the Bank reveals that the Bank does not support commercial logging in primary |
| |tropical moist forest. |
|OPN 11.03 Management of |The Policy bases itself on investigating and inventorying cultural resources potentially affected. It includes |
|Cultural Property |mitigation measures when there are adverse impacts on physical cultural resources. |
| |The management of cultural property should be undertaken in conjunction with consulting the appropriate agencies |
| |including NGOs and academic institutions. |
| |The Bank avoids undertakings that will significantly damage non-replicable cultural property, and will assist |
| |only those undertakings that are sited or designed so as to prevent such damage. |
|The Bank’s Policy on |It is the belief of the Bank that the peoples residing in the project areas have the right to be informed of the |
|Disclosure |proposed development project(s) in their respective areas. Therefore, prior to project appraisal, the summary of |
| |the study of undertakings along with other relevant information should be disclosed at the Bank’s as well as the |
| |project area’s (local) level. |
| |The World Bank policy on disclosure is currently under review, but the present proposals state that Category B |
| |Environmental Assessment reports should be self-standing documents, and thus disclosure is a pre-requisite for |
| |appraisal of the project. |
On the other hand, where any matter is listed on the Concurrent List, both the Federal and the State Governments have the power to legislate on such issues. (See Section 4 (4) of the 1999 Constitution) where there is a conflict between a Federal Law and a State Law, the Federal Law shall prevail and the State Law shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void (see Section 4(5) of the 1999 Constitution). Apart from the matters set out in the Concurrent List, the State Government under Section 4(7) (c) is also empowered to make laws in respect of any other matters to which it is empowered to make laws in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.
Thus, on environmental issues, the Federal Government established the FMENV, hitherto, FEPA. Section 24 of the FEPA Act encouraged the establishment of State and Local Government Environmental Protection bodies. Past Constitutions did not address environmental issues until the present 1999 Constitution which, under Section 20, sets out the protection and improvements of the environment as the Environmental Objectives for the State, thus safeguarding water, air, land, Forest and wildlife of Nigeria. It is pursuance of Section 24 of the Constitution that the Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority (KEPA) was created vide Edict No. 1 of 1994 by the Kaduna State Government. The Kaduna State Ministry of Environment also exist which serves as the main Ministry to the Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority.
Local Governments constitute the third tier of Government and their functions are clearly spelt out in the 4th Schedule of the Constitution. Thus, for instance, they are also responsible for the construction and maintenance of roads, streets, drains and public highways, as may be prescribed by the House of Assembly of a State.
The level at which government legislation is formulated and implemented, depends on which level of government is involved. For instance, if the issue at hand is Road Construction and Maintenance and a road is designated as Federal road, only the Federal Government has the right to construct and maintain that road under the Constitution. Where a road is designated as 8a State road, then only the State Government has the right to maintain or construct it. Local Government has powers to construct or maintain only those roads that are under its jurisdiction. The resultant effect is that there could be some Federal Roads within a State which may be in need of repairs, but may not receive the attention needed early enough, and consequently, the road continues to deteriorate. Thus for a State Government to repair such a road in order to facilitate easy movement for the citizens of the State, an agreement needs to be struck with the Federal Government.
SECTION 3: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.0 Introduction
In this Section, a summary of the proposed development is given
3.1 The Project
The project involves the identification of river crossings for reinstatement, construction, repairs of damaged, washed away, and or missing river crossings in rural areas of Kaduna State. The emphasis is on the provision of river crossings along rural roads in the State. Most of the activities in the provision of these river crossing structures will involve the following:
(i) Procurement of materials including stone chippings of various grades, cement, fabricated materials, motorized equipment, deployment of both skilled and unskilled labour and execution of both concrete and earth works for the structures.
(ii) Some of the materials such as sand and stone chippings may be sourced locally and, especially stone chippings, will involve blasting of granite rocks that are common sights in Kaduna State.
(iii) The types of equipment and machineries that will be brought to the site will include but not be limited to bulldozers, graders, pay loaders, excavators, dump trucks, concrete mixers etc.
The sourcing of the above listed materials and the use of machineries and equipment as shown above, will result in some environmental adverse impacts of various types as indicated in the relevant sections below.
3.2 Nature and Distribution
The structures to be constructed include bridges, culverts (box and pipe), drift, bailey bridge repairs as well as other repairs. The proposal contains Nine (9) bridges, Eighty-Five (85) box culverts, Sixteen (16) pipe culverts, Nine (9) drifts, Five (5) bailey bridge repairs and Eight (8) other structures.
The proposed project in spatial distribution covers 20 of the 23 Local Government Areas in the State. The urban Local Government Areas of Kaduna North, Kaduna South and Sabon-Gari have been excluded from the project because they have no rural communities. The distribution of these structures among the Local Government Areas is shown on Table 3.1. Also, their distribution among the Local Government Areas between the North and South is shown in Table 3.2.

3.3 The Need and Importance of the Project
The project concerns the provision of rural crossings on rural roads. The main aim of the project is to improve accessibility and mobility among the rural communities in Kaduna State.
Poor rural accessibility has partly been responsible for the continued poverty in the rural areas in the State. It is believed that if this infrastructure can be improved upon, by providing adequate crossings on the rural roads, the rural communities will find access to both rural and urban markets for their farm produce. This will enable them obtain the proper market pricing and value for their goods as they would have removed the middlemen in the process and getting the right price commensurate with their labour and other farm inputs. This will also increase the earning capacity of these rural farmers and in the process will reduce poverty level among them in the State.
3.4 Project Operation, Maintenance and Sustainability.
The project is being undertaken by the Kaduna State Project Coordinating Unit (SPIU). The Unit will initially be responsible for the operation of the project but there is a long term plan to transfer such operation to the local host communities. In the long run, it is believed or hoped that the host communities will take over the maintenance of the project. The SPIU will organize training programmes for the local communities on skills development for the project maintenance. The intention here is to give the local communities the ownership of the project. It is therefore, important that they are given the right skills that will enable them discharge such responsibilities most effectively.
SECTION 4: DESCRIPTION OF BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
4.1 Locations of Propose Project
The 132 projects are spread over twenty (20) Local Government areas in the State. The State lies between lat. 9002′N – 110, 32′N and long. 60 15’E – 80 50′E.
Kaduna State is largely an undulating landscape with a lot of rock outcrops which vary in height up to 1370m above see level. It is dissected by a dense network of drainages with Rivers Kaduna and Gurara being the two main river systems that drain the north and the south respectively.
The northern part is an area that is threatened by desert encroachment, so that it has very thin vegetation cover, with extensive bare land. The South on the other hand, is forested, so that a project such as the one made under consideration here must involve the removal of vegetation. Also, the rainfall ranges between 700mm and 900mm in the North, while in the South, some areas receive rainfall of 2000mm a year. These climatic conditions make the soils in the two parts respond differently to the various aspects of erosion. While, wind erosion is normally severe in the North during the dry season, gully erosion is predominantly in the South. However, it is believed that the sites selected are true representatives of the remaining ones in the North and South, respectively.
The State experiences distinct wet and dry seasons. The wet season normally starts in the months of April/May and finishes in the months of October/November. The dry season on the other hand lasts between November and March. The annual rainfall is about 900mm in the north and rises up to 2000mm in the south. Minimum Temperatures are between 90C and 180C while the maximum Temperatures are between 300C and 420C.
The vegetation is the southern to northern Sudan Savanna type. The vegetation is green and covers up to 85% in the wet season, but in the dry season it dries up and vegetation coverage can be as low as 3% particularly in the North, and in areas that have been consumed by bush fire.
Soils, Water, air and noise quality test were conducted at two sites, Kurmin Kogi/Danlawal in Ikara which is in the north and Ungwan Fari – Rafindadi in Jema’a Local Government Area in the south. The parameters of all the samples were found to be within the Federal Ministry of Environment Limits. These results form the basis for monitoring of these environmental components when the project is commissioned.
It was observed during the site inspection that, these sites had problems which should need special attention. These are Fadan Kamanto- Ashafa bailey bridge - Zagon-kataf Local Government Area; Feleke- Dan-Ayamaka crossing – Makarfi Local Government Area, and Fadan Dayi –chenchechions bailey bridge, Kaura Local Government Area. D
One of the Consultants discussing with Community Members around Ungwan Fari – Rafin Dadi River Crossing, Jema’a Local Government Area.
Rural Communities in Kaduna State are largely engaged in agricultural activities which include farming and the rearing of animals, although hunting is also an important economic activity in the rural areas.
However, as majority of the people at the project site are farmers, therefore land is a critical matter to them. Generally, land-take usually constitutes one of the major issues of linear infrastructural development, like the crossings under consideration here. Therefore, compulsory land acquisition (expropriation of property for public projects) or demolishing of structures such as buildings, shops associated with linear developments can result in displacement of communities, affected individuals, families, or communities. Although almost all the people interviewed indicated their willingness to relinquish their land to the project, without compensation, such claims have no legal basis and can easily be challenged even after the project has been commissioned. Therefore, even if the land is not compensated for, there is the need to consider the crops, which may be on the land during the construction period of the crossings.
Infrastructural services such as road, electricity potable water supply and telecommunication are not readily available in the rural areas of Kaduna State.
SECTION 5: POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
5.0 Introduction
Outlined in this Section are a summary of the impacts that are likely to result from the project as a result of the interaction between the project components and the environmental elements.
5.1 Overview of Project Impacts
The project is envisaged to have a range of positive environmental and social impacts. Some of these are a function of the objectives of the project, while others are a function of the way in which the project is designed to meet its objectives.
The proposed project however is also expected to have some negative impact on both the surrounding land use and the local environment. These impacts include the short-term construction related impacts and long-term operation unavoidable impacts. The short-term construction impacts include the following:
In Table 5.1, a summary of the identified impacts are listed with their corresponding mitigation measures for the project while in Table 5.2, sites the shall require special attention are identified with their concerns and mitigation measures.

5.3 Environmental and Social Mitigation- Principles and Clauses
A comprehensive list of environmental and social clauses to be observed as appropriate in the implementation of this EMP is presented in Appendix 5.1. In addition, to further assist the contractors in achieving environmental and social objectives of the project, Good Construction Practices Guidelines have been outlined in Appendix 5.2 as Contractor Checklist. The Guidelines for the Contractor on good-practices for key activities and operation are not exhaustive or complete and thus the contractor may adopt practices which are more suitable or specific to the nature and type of actual works to be undertaken considering the possible/potential risks/hazards involved with regard to proposed environmental and social mitigation measures.
SECTION 6: ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN
6.1 Introduction
Monitoring is a key component of the EMP during project implementation. The significance of monitoring stems from the fact that the inputs derived from the designed EMP into the project design and planning, including mitigation measures are based largely on “predictions”. It is essential that the basis for the choices, options and decisions made in formulating or designing the project and other environmental and social safeguard measures are verified for adequacy and appropriateness. Hence the need for this aspect of the EMP
Also, monitoring verifies the effectiveness of impact management, including the extent to which mitigation measures are successfully implemented.
Monitoring specifically helps to:
• Improve environmental and social management practices;
• Check the efficiency and quality of the environmental management processes;
• Establish the scientific reliability and credibility of the EMP for the project and
• Provide the opportunity to report the results on safeguards and impacts and proposed mitigation measures implementation.
General monitoring will be conducted daily and weekly throughout the construction stage and annually during the operation and maintenance phase. Routine monitoring and reporting will be undertaken by the Contractor during the construction stage. The Supervising consultant and the SPIU shall develop an auditing schedule and undertake audits in accordance with the schedule.
6.2 Monitoring Procedure
Environmental monitoring activities shall be based on direct or indirect indicators of emissions, effluents, and resource use applicable to the particular project. Monitoring frequency shall be sufficient to provide representative data for the parameter being monitored. Monitoring should be conducted by trained individuals following monitoring and record-keeping procedures and using properly calibrated and maintained equipment.
Monitoring data shall be analyzed and reviewed at regular intervals and compared with the operating standards so that any necessary corrective actions can be taken.
Table 6.1 contains a list of parameters to monitor during the construction stage while in Table 6.2 parameters for either continuous or periodic monitoring are spelt out even during construction and operation.

6.4 Site Environmental Audit
Site environmental auditing is essentially to ensure that both legal and contractual requirements of the construction contract are complied with. There are contractual environmental protection and pollution control requirements as well as environmental protection and pollution control laws in Nigeria and Kaduna State which the construction activities are required to comply with.
All the works method statements submitted by the contractor to the ER for approval should also be sent to the ET leader for vetting to see whether sufficient environmental protection and pollution control measures have been included.
The ET leader should review the progress and programme of the works to check that relevant environmental laws have been violated, and that any foreseeable potential for violating the laws can be prevented.
The contractor should regularly copy relevant documents to the ET leader so that the checking of works can be carried out. The documents should at least include the updated Work Progress Reports, the updated Works Programme, the application letters for different license/permits under the environmental protection laws, and all the valid license/permit. The site diary should also be available for the ET Leader’s inspection upon his/her request.
On reviewing the document, the ET Leader should advise the ER and the contractor of any non-compliance with the contractual and legislative requirements on environmental protection and pollution control for them to take follow-up actions. If the ET Leader’s review conclude that the current status on license/permit application and any environmental protection and pollution control preparation works may not cope with the works programme or may result in potential violation of environmental projection and pollution control requirements by the works in due course, he should advise the contractor and the ER accordingly.
Upon receipt of the advice, the contractor should undertake immediate action to remedy the situation. The ER shall follow up to ensure that appropriate action has been taken by the contractor in order that the environmental protection and pollution control requirements are fulfilled.
6.5 EMP Organization
The implementation of the EMP requires the involvement of the principal partners. These
include the project proponent or client, the Contractor, the Contractor’s Management Team, the
Engineers Representative/Engineering Supervision Consultant and the Independent
Environmental Consultant. The Kaduna State RAMP has to organize and put these parties in
place in order to ensure the successful and effective implementation of the project EMP.
Although these are meant to work towards achieving the same goal, each has his own role in the
process. These roles are spelt out as follows:
(i) The Project Proponent/Client
The project proponent here is represented by the Project Coordinator. He representing the project (which include Kaduna State). He is responsible for the project environmental performance during its construction and operational phases.
(ii) The Environmental Team
The Environmental Team (ET) is appointed by the Contractor. The team in headed by a leader who is saddled with a wide range of responsibility. His duties include but not limited to the following.
a. Sampling, analysis and evaluation of monitoring parameters with reference to the EIA report and EMP recommendations and requirements;
b. Carry out environmental site surveillance to investigate and audit the contractors’ site practice, equipment and work methodologies with respect to pollution control and adequacy of environmental mitigation implemented;
c. Review the success of EM&A programme to cost-effectively confirm the adequate of mitigation measures implemented;
d. Monitor compliance with environmental protection, pollution prevention and control measures, and contractual requirements;
e. Monitor the implementation of environmental mitigation measures;
f. Audit and prepare audit reports on the environmental monitoring data and site environmental conditions;
g. Complaint investigation, evaluation and identification of corrective measures;
h. Advise to the contractor on environment improvement, awareness, proactive pollution prevention measures;
i. Follow the procedures in the EMP and recommend suitable mitigation measures to the contractor in the case of non-compliance/discrepancies identified. Carry out additional monitoring works within the specified timeframe instructed by the ER; and
j. Liaison with the contractor, and IEC on all environmental performance matters, and timely submission of EM&A reports to the project proponent, IEC and relevant administrative authorities, if required.
(iii) The Contractor
The Contractor’s duties include but not limited to the following:
a. Compliance with relevant environmental legislative requirements;
b. Work within the scope of contractual requirements and other tender conditions;
c. Organize representatives of the construction team to participate in the joint site it sections undertaken by the ET, and undertake any corrective actions instructed by the client and/or IEC;
d. Provide and update information to the ET regarding works activities which may contribute, or be continuing to the generation of adverse environmental conditions;
e. In case of non-compliances/discrepancies, carry out investigation and submit proposals on mitigation measures, and implement remedial measures to reduce environmental impact;
f. Stop construction activities which generate adverse impacts upon receiving instructions from the client/IEC. Propose and carry out corrective actions and implement alternative construction method. If required, in order to minimize the environmental impact;
g. Adhere to the procedures for carrying out compliant investigation; and
h. Take responsibilities and strictly adhere to the guidelines of the EM&A programme and complementary protocols developed by their project staff;
i. The contractor shall read and understand the EMP and implement same as contain there in.
(iv) The Engineer Representative (ER)
The Engineer Representative is generally responsible for overseeing the construction of the project and monitors the works undertaken by the Contractor. His duties include but not limited to the following:
a. Monitor the contractor compliance with contract specifications, including the implementation and operation of environmental mitigation measures and ensure their effectiveness, and other aspects of the EM&A programme;
b. Provide assistance to the ET as necessary in the implementation of the environmental monitoring and auditing programme;
c. Regularly monitor the performance of the ET, verifying monitoring methodologies and results. In case the ER considers that the ET leader or any member of the ET fails to discharge duties or fails to comply with the contractual requirements, instruct the contractor to replace the ET leader or the member of the ET;
d. Instruct the contractor to take actions within a specified timeframe, and carry out additional monitoring, if required, according to the contractual requirements and procedures in Event and Action Plan of EMP in the event of non-compliances or complaints;
e. Supervise the contractor activities and ensure that the requirements inn the EMP and contract specifications or complaints;
f. Instruct the contractor to take actions to reduce impacts and follow the required EMP procedures in case of non-compliance/discrepancies identified;
g. Instruct the contraction to stop activities which generate adverse impacts and/or when the contractor failed to implement the EMP requirements/remedial actions instructed by the ER/IEC;
h. Participate in the joint site inspection undertaken by the ET; and
i. Adhere to the procedures for carrying out compliant investigation.
(v) Independent Environmental Consultant
The Independent Environmental Consultant is a person who can independently and professionally, examine records, processes and procedures relating to the EMP of the project. He should be a person who is familiar with the project works through review of reports, including the EMP. His duties shall include but not limited to the following:
a. Review and audit in an independent, objective and professional manner in all aspects of the EMP;
b. Validate and confirm the accuracy of monitoring results, monitoring equipment, monitoring locations, monitoring procedures and locations of sensitive receivers;
c. Carry out random sample check and audit on monitoring data and sampling procedures, etc;
d. Conduct random site inspection;
e. Audit the EIA recommendations and requirement against the status of implementation of environmental protection measures;
f. Review the effectiveness of environmental mitigation measures and project environmental performance;
g. On as needed basis, verify and certify the environmental acceptability of the construction methodology (both temporary and permanent works), relevant design plans and submissions. Where necessary, the IEC shall seek the least impact alternative in consultation with the designer, the contractor and HPCD;
h. Verify the investigation results of any non-compliance of the environmental quality performance and the effectiveness of corrective measures; and
i. Feedback audit results to the client and ER team according to EMP procedures of non-compliance in the EMP.
(vi) Other Stakeholders
Other stakeholders such as the Federal Ministry of Environment and the Kaduna State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources are line Ministries which have vital roles to play in the implementation of the EMP. These Ministries are fundamental as lead environmental regulators which oversee compliance with EIA requirements in Nigeria and Kaduna State respectively. Thus the have an important role in the implementation of the ESMP. Similarly, the Kaduna State Ministry of Works and Transport as the line ministry has a vital role to play. The other institutions, on the other hand, come in as and when relevant areas or resources under their jurisdiction or management are likely to be affected.
Most important among their roles include:
• The issues of consent or approval for an aspect of a project;
• Allow impact to a certain extent or impose restrictions or conditions.
They may also have monitoring responsibility or supervisory oversight during construction in an area of concern or interest to them.
Local Level: The Local Government Areas where the projects are located have roles to play in the EMP implementation. They have the duty of overseeing the operations going on within their jurisdictions and it would appropriate fir them to contribute in one way or another. Infact the Local Governments have the responsibility to inform the people about the project.
The Local Clients, District Heads, Village and Ward Heads are local authorities who should be involved at some level in the implementation of the EMP. They can be informed in the case where the contractor contravenes the terms of the EMP.
The Communities of the projects sites should be involved in the EMP implementation, more so, because they are directly involved with workers at the project sites.
vii. The World Bank
The World Bank is a co-financier of the project. One of its major roles is to ensure the timely release of funds for the execution of the project. Since its funds are involved, it should be interested in ensuring that such funds are applied judiciously. This will entail sending missions to Kaduna State periodically to monitor the progress of the project. It will also ensure that all its policies regarding the project design, construction and operation are complied with. It is the duty of the Bank to ensure that all documents and reports relating to the project meet its standard requirements.
6.6 Capacity Development and Training
It is important that the EMP is supported by a well trained staff with the capacity and skills to carry out the duties of monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the EMP. Where such trained staff are not readily available, the project proponent, namely here, the Kaduna State RAMP may draw staff from the Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority (KEPA) or the Kaduna State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. In the absence of both, the project proponent may resort providing training on environmental technical assistance programmes.
The EMP shall be part of the terms of reference for all contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers. All contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers have to give some assurance that they understand the EMP and that they will undertake to comply with the conditions therein. Therefore, Contractors have the responsibility to ensure that all those people involved in the project are aware of and familiar with the environmental requirements for the project (this includes sub-contractors, casual labour, etc.).
Generally, it is expected that all senior and supervisory staff members shall familiarize themselves with the full contents of the EMP. They shall know and understand the specifications of the EMP and shall be able to assist other staff members in matters relating to the EMP.
6.7 Non Compliance of the EMP
Difficulties may be encountered with carrying out mitigation measures that could result in future non-compliance. The responsible person shall put in place measures to motivate staff members to comply with the EMP, and to deal with acts of non-compliance, or malicious damage to the environment by any staff member.
6.8 Environmental Emergency Procedures
i. Environmental emergence procedures relate primarily to the event of accidental leaks, spills or emissions. Events related to adverse weather conditions should be addressed through the Project Activity Safety Plan (PASP) as part of the Contractor’s Safety Plan, which should be submitted to the ER before commencement of project construction works. The Safety Plan shall be reviewed on regular basis and updated if necessary. The PASP shall include procedures such as the prevention of slope slide/soil erosion during the rainfall season.
ii. In the event that accidental leakage or spillage of diesel/chemicals/chemical wastes takes place, standard response procedures should be followed immediately by the contractor such as:
• The person who has identified the leakage/spillage shall immediately check if anyone is injured and shall then inform the contractor, ET and ER;
• The contractor shall ensure any injured persons are treated and assess what has spilled/leaked;
• Should the accidents/incidents generate serious environmental pollution or in the option of ER, has the potential of resulting in serious environmental pollution problems (e.g spillage/leakage of toxic or chemicals, large scale spillage/leakage, or spillage/leakage into the nearby water bodies which are used for irrigation/portable water), the ER immediate inform Environmental Protection Authority and the Kaduna State Water Board;
• In such cases, the contractor shall take immediate action to stop the spillage/leakage and divert the spilled/leaked liquid to a nearby non-sensitive areas;
• The contractor shall arrange maintenance staff with appropriate protective clothing to clean up the chemicals/chemical waste. This may be achieved through soaking with sawdust (if the quantity of spillage/leakage is small), or sand bags (if the quantity is large); and/or using a shovel to remove the topsoil (if the spillage/leakage occurs on bare ground); and
• Depending on the nature and extent of the chemical spill, evacuation of the activity/site may be necessary.
iii. Spilled chemicals must not be flushed to local surface drainage systems. Instead, sawdust or sandbags used for clean-up and removed contaminated soil should be disposed of by following the procedures for chemical waste handling and disposal already described.
iv. The possibility exists for environmental emergencies of an unforeseen nature to occur during the course of the construction and operational phases of the project. By definition, the nature of such emergencies cannot be known. Therefore, the contractor should respond on a case-by-case basis to such emergencies and should initiate event-specific measures in terms of notifications and reactions.
v. The contractor should prepare a report on the incident detailing the accident, clean-up actions taken, any pollution problems and suggested measures to prevent similar accidents from happening again in future. The incident report should then be submitted to the ER, IEC for review and keep in the records. The incident report should also be submitted to EPB, if required.
vi. The contractor should ensure that all site staff members are aware of the above emergence response procedures through training.
6.9 Environmental Complaints
Complaints may arise in the course of the project preparation or construction. Serious complaints should be referred to the ET Leader for carrying out complaint investigation procedures. The ET leader should undertake the following procedures upon receipt of complaint:
i. Log complaint and date of receipt onto the complaint database and inform the ER and/or IEC immediately;
ii. Investigate the complaint to determine its validity, and to assess whether the source of the problem is due to works activities;
iii. If a complaint is valid and due to works, identify mitigation measures;
iv. If mitigation measures are required, advice the Contractors accordingly;
v. Review the contractor’s response on the identified mitigation measures, and the updated situation;
vi. If the complaint is transferred from EPB, submit interim report to EPB on status of the complaint investigation and follow-up action within the time frame assigned by EPB;
vii. Undertake additional monitoring and audit to verify the situation if necessary, and review that any valid reason for complaint does not recur;
viii. Report the investigation results and the subsequent actions to the source of complaint for responding to complainant( if the source of complaint is EPB, the results shall be reported within the time frame assigned by EPB); and
ix. Record the complaint, investigation, the subsequent actions and the results in the monthly EM&A reports.
x. During the complaint investigation work, the Contractor and ER should cooperate with the ET Leader in providing all the necessary information and assistance for completion of the investigation. If mitigation measures are identified in the investigation, the Contractor shall promptly carry out the mitigation. The ER should ensure that the measures have been carried out by the Contractor. A copy of complaint log is shown in Annex D.
xi. A flow chart of the complaint response procedures is shown in Annex C.

APPENDIX 5.1
Environmental and Social Clauses
Appendix 5.1: Environmental and Social Clauses
Objective
This Clause/guide provides operational instructions on how to integrate environmental and social actions associated with the execution of RAMP Project River Crossings. It is neither a legal document nor a book of recipes to be followed mechanically. However, it is rather a set of instruments and options from which road authorities, consulting engineers and contractors can choose relevant sections to their works and contracts.
1.0 General
a) The Contractor shall comply with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the works he is responsible for and to which this clause is added as Appendix. The Contractor shall inform himself about the content of the EMP, and prepare his work strategy and plan to fully take into account relevant provisions of the EMP.
b) The Contractor shall prepare method statements indicating the period within which he /she shall maintain status on site after completion of civil works to ensure that significant adverse impacts arising from such works have been appropriately addressed.
c) The Contractor shall adhere to the proposed activity implementation schedule and the monitoring plan/strategy to ensure effective feedback of monitoring information to project management so that impact management can be implemented properly, and if necessary, adapt to changing and unforeseen conditions.
d) The Contractor shall implement all measures necessary to avoid undesirable adverse environmental and social impacts wherever possible, restore work sites to acceptable standards, and abide by any environmental performance requirements specified in an EMP.
e) If the Contractor fails to implement the approved EMP after written instruction by the Engineer Representative (ER) to fulfil his obligation within the requested time, the Owner reserves the right to arrange through the ER for execution of the missing action by a third party on account of the Contractor
f) Besides the regular inspection of the sites by the Engineer Representative (ER) for adherence to the contract conditions and specifications, the Owner may appoint an Inspector to oversee the compliance with these environmental conditions and any proposed mitigation measures. The Kaduna State Environmental Protection Authority (KEPA), Federal Ministry of Environment, or other relevant stake holders may carry out similar inspection duties. In all cases, as directed by the ER, the Contractor shall comply with directives from such inspectors to implement measures required to ensure the adequacy of rehabilitation measures carried out on the bio-physical environment and compensation account of the Contractor.
2.0 Dust Abatement
a) The contractor shall minimize the effect of dust on the surrounding environment resulting from earth mixing sites, vibrating equipment, temporary access roads, etc. to ensure safety, health and the protection of workers and communities living in the vicinity of dust producing activities.
b) During the performance of the work and any operations appurtenant thereto, the contractor shall carry out proper and efficient measures, such as sprinkling with water or other means, whenever necessary to reduce the dust nuisance, and to prevent dust which has originated from his operations from damaging crops, cultivated fields, and dwellings or causing a nuisance to persons. The contractor will be held liable for any damage resulting form dust originating from his operations.
3.0 Noise Due to Construction Activities
The contractor shall ensure the noise levels emanating from machinery, vehicles and noisy construction activities (e.g. excavation, blasting) are kept at a minimum for the safety, health and protection of workers within the vicinity of high noise levels and nearby communities. The national noise limit standard for the residential area in day time is 55 dB while at night is 45dB.
4.0 River, Stream and Natural Channels obstruction
