1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

The implementation of WSSS project will improve public health and environment for about

400,000 people (households and other consumers) living in 18 towns and 92 villages through

providing safe, reliable and sustainable water supply. The outcome of the Project is improved

access to safe, reliable, and sustainable WSSS services managed on commercial principles

and environmentally sound practices.

The Project will also facilitate poverty reduction by (i) reducing the cases of waterborne

diseases and costs of medical care; (ii) improving women’s routine making them free from

intensive housework such as water fetching, which allow them to participate in social and

economic activities more actively; (iii) providing safe and sustainable water supply; and (iv)

improving the households’ livelihood in all the project towns and villages. Similar to the original

WSSSP, the Additional Financing Project funds two project components which include: (i)

municipal infrastructure rehabilitation and improvement; and (ii) management improvement and

development including gender features.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARD DOCUMENTS

In accordance with the ADB Environmental policy (2002) the Subproject is ranked to B category

which does not need extended EIA. According to the RA law on “Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise” (issued on June 21, 2014 and amended on September 11, 2014) ,

this design documentation, which summarizes the types of activities planned under the sub-

project, is not subject to environmental impact assessment and expertise, based on the

insignificant impact of the planned activity on the environment.

As B Category Project, ADB Policy requires development of Initial Environmental Examination

(IEE) reports for each Subproject and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) (separate report

for each subproject package (contract).

3. INTRODUCTION

This report is developed for the package of Improvement of water supply system of Dilijan town

and Bagratashen, Ptghavan and Zorakan rural communities in Tavush Region, RA, and the

design of which was performed under the joint agreement of HGSN and JINJ LLCs. The Water

supply system rehabilitation of the mentioned communities involves reconstruction of the

external waterlines, existing DRRs, water distribution system, construction of pump station, new

pipelines, construction/reconstruction of valve junctions and water metering chambers of

individual houses.

As a result of the construction work implementation, as well as further operation and

maintenance of the water supply systems there might be undesirable negative impacts on the

environment.

It is expected that the impacts during construction work implementation will be minimal and

temporary, probably involving vegetation cut, soil erosion, air and water resource pollution by

lubricants, chlorine compounds, household and construction waste.



At the Operation Stage the environmental impact, the main reason of which might be improper

execution of operation requirements, will decrease.

The improvement activities will be considered environmentally friendly in case of water resource

conservation, as well as rational and steady use.

The social and economic effects as a result of water supply system improvement are expected

to be long-term, mostly positive, such as excluding potable and wastewater mixture,

minimization of water pollution risk and the hazard of waterborne diseases, prevention and

exclusion of infection disease agents penetration into potable water, as well as extension of the

water supply duration, providing steady water supply and rational water use.

The description of possible impacts and mitigating measures required during different stages of

water supply systems improvement project is provided below.

Design stage

The JV of HGSN LLC and JINJ Ltd performed the design works on water systems selected as a

Consultant who provides services on civil works and public awareness campaign within the

framework of “Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project - Additional Financing”. The EMP includes articles on climatic conditions, relief, natural soil types, hydrology and biodiversity of

the very package. The Design package includes EMP and SSEMP. The Project Consultant is in

charge to follow the appropriate statements of the RA Environmental and social legislation, as

well as ADB instructions and strategy requirements mentioned in the Contract.

Construction stage

The list of measures required to mitigate the environmental impact during construction stage is

provided in the EMP matrix (Appendix 1).

Operation stage

At this stage the operation should be performed in accordance with operational rules and

standards of the water supply to decrease the environmental impact.

4. SCOPE OF WORKS

4.1 Description of the existing WSS systems

The Subproject involves Dilijan town served by the AWSC, while Bagratashen, Ptghavan and

Zorakan villages are served by the local self-governing bodies.

The water supply of Dilijan town is carried out mainly from the Aghstev River, the water of

which is treated at three treatment plants, including one catchment and one river water intake

structures.

1. “Golovino” water treatment plant was constructed in 1962 and is situated at the southern

elevated part of the town with 55 l/sec output. The water delivered from here is stored in

“Golovino” (V=1000m3) and “Takhta” (V=1000m3) DRRs, thereafter it is delivered to the

distribution network. The WTP was repaired in 2010 funded by the WB.

2. “Frolovo” WTP was built in 1989 with a capacity of 90 l/sec. The water delivered from

here is stored in “Kaghni Khach” (V=2x500m3) DRRs, thereafter being delivered to the

distribution network. The WTP was repaired in 2010 funded by the WB.

3. “Bldan” WTP was built in 1971, with a capacity of 50 l/sec. The water delivered from

here is stored in “Kalinin” (V=1000m3) DRR, thereafter it is delivered to the distribution

network.



4. “Jilut Tala” catchment structure was built in 1988. From here the water is conveyed to

the town distribution network through 75-100 mm diameter steel pipes.

5. “Shamakhyan” river water intake was built in 1962.

The town water distribution network was built in the 1960s. The total length of the inner network

is about 35 km performed with steel and polyethylene pipes of different diameters. Some

sections of the pipelines are in technically bad condition, which causes failures and leakages.

Currently the town water supply is carried out by the hourly schedule.

About 15 km (total length) polyethylene waterlines of different diameters were built at the

expense of the AWSC.

Currently about 21 km waterlines of 32-250 mm diameters are laid funded by the EBRD. New

pump station is also being constructed, including repair of DRRs of 300m3 and 500m3

capacities.

However, the mentioned investments are not enough for the complete improvement of Dilijan

town water supply system since there are a number of issues that need additional financing and

technical solutions.

Bagratashen community is not served by the AWS CJSC.

The village is supplied with water from deep well with 32 kW and 63 l/sec capacity located in the

village area.

The water is conveyed from the deep well through 150 mm diameter pipes to V=400m3 capacity

DRR located in the elevated eastern part of the village, thereafter to the distribution network.

Besides, there are connections made from the deep well directly to the distribution network

which, if needed, are regulated with the valve. There are leakages from the DRR walls and floor,

thus it needs repair.

The total length of the distribution network is about 14 km which is laid with 40-150 mm

diameter pipes. It was built in the 1960s.

In 2010-11 about 6 km section of distribution network was reconstructed at the expense of the

village administrative centre. The rest of the sections are in technically poor condition, failures

occur rather frequently and there are great water losses.

Ptghavan village water supply is carried out from the village deep well with 11 kW and 11 l/sec

capacity. The water is conveyed to the village distribution network directly from the deep well

through 150-100 mm diameter pipes. On the north-eastern elevated area of the community

there is DRR of V=120 m3 capacity not operating since its walls, floor and cover are damaged.

The total length of the distribution network is about 4.5 km. It was laid with 40-150 mm diameter

pipes in the 1960s. The distribution network pipeline is in technically poor condition, failures

occur rather frequently and there are great water losses.

Zorakan village water supply is carried out through the 2 village springs which jointly provide

only 0.5 l/sec water. Naturally, it fails meeting the village water demand.

The community almost does not have distribution system. There are some 80-100 mm pipes

from which the village inhabitants provide their water supply using metal-plastic and rubber

pipes. The inhabitants of Zorakan village in the elevated eastern part (about 30 families) do not

have drinking water at all.



On the north-eastern elevated part of the community there is DRR of V=80 m3 capacity not

operating since its walls, floor and cover are damaged. It needs to be repaired.

Only Dilijan town among the Subproject settlements is nearly completely provided with sewage

system. The waste water treatment plant (WWTP) located at a distance of about 15 km to the

north-east of the town, is still not operating. At the moment, the WWTP rehabilitation works

funded by the EBRD are close to completion; they cover also the works of basic repair of the

town waste water system, construction of about 6 km long 200-600 mm diameter sewage lines

and collectors with inspection chambers.

The rural communities of the Subproject have no sewage pipes; there are no waste water

systems. The inhabitants make use of yard toilets or they have water closets connected to the

sewage collectors built on their private areas.

4.2 Description of the proposed rehabilitation works

In all trenches, where the backfill on the sand protective layer is to be done with sand, it is

planned to lay warning net polyethylene tape at 30.0cm height from the upper level of pipe,

throughout the length of the trench.

5. BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

5.1 Geographic location and climate of Dilijan town

Dilijan town is in the north-east of Armenia, in the eastern part of the Aghstev River valley, at

1100-1510 m above the sea level.

In the south it is backed by the Pambak mountain chain, in the north – by the Bazum Mountains,

and north-eastward the Murzus massif stretches. The latter consists of a number of mountain

branches with deep narrow ravines between them, with steep slopes and rushing rivulets of

temporary or permanent flows.

The relief is complicated: the Aghstev River high-water bed and terraces are plain; slopes are

inclined, separated by the gullies. It is the southern entrance of Tavush region situated at about

100 km distance from Yerevan.

The seismicity level is determined by 0.2-0.3 acceleration.



The area climate is moderate warm and wet. Dilijan town is characterized with sunny,

moderately cold winter and moderately warm summer. The air average annual temperature is

8.1 C. The rainfall average annual amount is 593 mm. The air average annual relative humidity

is 73%. The winds are weak with 2 m/sec average annual speed; the north-eastward and

eastward winds dominate. The sun shine annual duration is about 2100 hours.

Dilijan is a typical climate resort of mountainous-forest zone, main sanative factors of which are

medium and high mountain climate, favorable oxygen regime and unique landscape, availability

of healthy mineral waters.

5.2 Geographic location and climatic conditions of Bagratashen, Ptghavan and

Zorakan villages

The Subproject villages (Bagratashen, Ptghavan and Zorakan) are in the northern part of

Tavush region, situated nearby the Armenia-Georgia inter-state highway or on the areas

adjacent to it. The area is located on the slopes of Voskepar mountain chain arm of the similar

name, in Koghb River valley. The neighborhood hydrological network belongs to the Kura River

water intake basin.

The Gugarats mountain chain is in the west and Bagratashen plain is in the north. The distance

from Yerevan is 187 km. The absolute elevations range between 400-900 m.

Ptghavan and Bagratashen villages are situated on Debed River bank, 70 km away from the

regional centre Ijevan. Zorakan village is situated at distance of 54 km to the north-west.

The area relief is complicated, the slopes are inclined and ragged, and the surface is

mountainous, sharply partitioned. Only the area centre is plain.

From the geological aspect the area is presented by the folded clastic rocks which are generally

covered by the recent alluvial, diluvial-proluvial sediments.

The area is located in the slightly wet tropical zone with typical moderate hot summers and mild

winters. The average temperature in January is –100C, and the average annual is 10.40C. The

spring is short and rainy; summer is long, relatively cool. The autumn is mild and long. The

snow cover depth ranges within 10-12 cm.

The rainfall average annual amount is 541 mm. During the entire year the south-western and

north-eastern winds prevail.

5.3 Biodiversity

5.3.1. Dilijan neighborhood biodiversity

Flora. Dilijan town is in Ijevan floristic region of RA. The town peculiarity is that it is located

nearby “Dilijan” National Park with its forest landscape, biodiversity, highly valuable flora and

fauna. The establishment of “Dilijan” National Park aims at the natural development of aquatic and coastal ecosystems of the Aghstev and Getik river watersheds, conservation of landscape

and biodiversity, nature and historical-cultural monuments. The objects of conservation are

Caucasus type mesophile forests, beech and oak communities, unique stand of yews and forest

fauna.

Among the species recorded in the RA Red Book there is Greek valerian (Polemonium

caeruleum), Greek walnut (Juglans regia), Early-purple Orchid (Orchis mascula), Bug Orchis

(O. coriophora), Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale), Georgian Snow Rose (Rhododendron



caucasicum), rose campion (Coronaria flos-cuculi), etc. Andrósace koso-poljanskii, Red-bud

Maple (Acer trautvetteri), Silver poplar are considered endemic species.

Fauna. The dominant fauna species of Dilijan district are wolf, fox, badger, marten, forest cat,

hare, dormouse, common forest mouse, water vole, etc. The most common fauna

representatives on the area are boar and roe deer. There are also 4 amphibia, 13 creepers, 133

bird 43 mammal species. From fishes there can be mentioned river trout, Kura barbell, etc.

Historic-cultural monuments. The nearest to Dilijan town is “Jukhtak” (3 km to the north-west

of Dilijan) and “Matosavank” monasteries (4 km to the west of Dilijan).

The designed works of the Subproject are carried out only in the Dilijan Takhta district, where

there are no natural landscapes and historical-cultural monuments.

5.3.2. Noyemberyan neighborhood biodiversity

Flora. The Subproject settlements are in Ijevan floristic zone of RA, where forest biodiversity is

presented by trees and bushes. The flora is mainly presented by wormwood and mountain

xerophytes species typical to dry steppe landscape zone.

Fauna. The area fauna is presented by species typical to low elevation mountain steppes, the

dominating of which are rodents most of which live underground. The creepers and amphibia

are few. In springs and in the falls there occur numerous migrating species.

The typical to the area dominating fauna species are those that occur on the entire area of

Armenia: wolf, fox, field mouse, partridge, crane, etc.

Historic-cultural monuments. The mentioned historic-cultural monuments are far enough from

the construction sites to escape the adverse impact of civil works.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS

As a result of the implemented works aimed at the improvement of W&W systems the

expected positive environmental and population health effects are as follows:

- water resource conservation and sustainable use,

- excluding mixing of drinking, irrigation and waste water,

- preventing, excluding penetration of infectious disease agents into drinking water,

- reduction of drinking water pollution hazard,

- providing high-quality drinking water,

- improvement of dwellers’ health, - water loss reduction,

- increasing duration of water supply to population,

- introduction of water metering system,

- increasing water consumption efficiency.

The IEE revealed that the implementation of works designed by this package aimed at W&W

systems improvement is likely to have some impact on the landscapes, environment and human

health, but it will be temporal.

They can be prevented or mitigated due to the best construction practice.

Based on the initial assessment, the following adverse impacts can be expected:

- air pollution

- noise

- traffic and pedestrian roads congestion and overloading



- soil erosion and soil eroding processes

- environment and water resources pollution by construction and household waste

- soil and water resources pollution by fuels and lubricants,

- soil and water resources pollution by chlorine.

These impacts will be temporal, whereas the Subproject implementation will have positive social

effects. It will have direct positive effect on the welfare of population of Tavush region in 1 town

and 3 rural communities providing sustainable, reliable water supply and water resource rational

use for over 10 thousand people (as of 01.01.2014 the population of Dilijan town - 5000, v.

Bagratashen – 2859, v. Ptghavan – 1115, v.Zorakan -1041).

The civil works designed by Subproject are carried out on the settlements area where there are

no natural landscapes.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATING MEASURES

The water supply system improvement works of Dilijan town and Bagratashen, Ptghavan and

Zorakan rural communities can cause environmental and social impact due to (i) opening

waterline trenches, (ii) pits for regulating and water metering junctions and (iii) repair pump

station and DRRs.

To prevent soil erosion processes the following measures are to be implemented on the inclined

sites of the waterline route for retaining the inclinations, minimizing the time of any trenches and

pits intended for regulating and water metering units leaving open.

The inclinations should be retained to prevent soil erosion and intensive side erosion process

nearby the rivers and tributaries.

- After completion of construction works all sites are to be cleaned from construction waste

providing initial condition of the area;

- To recover the asphalt* - concrete coat of the busy streets providing its previous quality,

- Provide graveling with compaction on the streets with damaged and half-destroyed asphalt-

concrete pavement, as well as on earth roads

*Note: The asphalt will be bought from specialized asphalt plant which is responsible for taking

environmental impact mitigation measures. All asphalt plants function in accordance with RA

Environmental legislation.

To prevent the topsoil layer damage, or landscape degradation, the topsoil should be hauled

and stored on the assigned for it site, thereafter used for the areas restoration. The

construction site should be cleaned from the household and construction waste providing the

previous state of landscape.

To exclude land and water resources pollution with fuels and lubricants, the latter must be

stored on a sealed surface, away from water resources, plan use of special tanks for their

storage, which will then be removed to special sites envisaged for re-treatment.

To prevent environment pollution with construction and household waste, remove construction

waste to corresponding landfill of the community, having in advance a contract agreement with

the community heads or landfill operators.

The excess soil resulted due to trenching are to be hauled to the allotted for them community

site, having in advance a contract agreement with the community heads.



As a result of the project, the disposal of old equipment and pipes as scrap metals is not

anticipated. The old pipeline of internal system will be under operation until the end of

construction works. At the moment when new pipeline considers ready (after being disinfected

and tested), the old waterline will be cut-down and the new waterline will be put into operation.

The old pipes will remain underground and no scrap metals will be generated. The old pipeline

is the property1 of community and will remain under the discretion of community.

After the completion of each construction phase the Contractor must organize disposal of

construction waste to the sites allotted for the purpose of waste accumulation, according to the

established order.

To exclude land and water resources pollution with chlorine, the works for washing the water

supply distribution network with chlorine should be organized according to calculations,

providing appropriate technical means, including chlorine discharge to surface water body or

land area after washing the pipes according to the regime planned under the design.

To reduce dust during the construction works, the construction site and roads are to be regularly

watered and kept wet to exclude dust during wind and operating of machines.

To prevent air pollution, closed/covered trucks are to be used during transportation of dusty

construction material, In case it is impossible to avoid dust during the works, the workers shall

be provided with protective masks.

To prevent noise impact, night work in residential areas is to be limited, and usage of

machines/equipment with extra noise is to be avoided; installation of silencers if needed.

The construction equipment is to be examined on a regular basis and not allow the noise

exceed the allowable standard. The workers operating equipment with over 85 dB noise shall

be provided with protective devices (mufflers).

To reduce disturbance to population because of overloaded roads safe area for trucks is to be

provided; construction and household waste must not be accumulated and burnt on the

construction site. Construction should be implemented by stages, providing adequate notice of

construction activities to the population. The traffic flow should be regulated, if required,

including set-up of road signs, safety tapes, temporary safety foot bridges as alternative walk

way. Adequate street lighting should be provided in places when passers-by or entry by public

is likely.

To prevent hazards for workers and the population during the construction, the following must

be implemented: fencing the construction site; control unauthorized persons’ access to the site; place warning signs in dangerous places; carry out regular examination of equipment by

qualified staff, as well as make regular safety audits; provide first aid and safety training to

construction team.

Provide community participation in subproject design, which will minimize disruption to

community social activities.

Drinking water quality change: Environmental monitoring plan must include also control over

water quality and residual chlorine level as well as hygiene and sanitation safety of drinking

water. Fresh water pipes should be capped during all period of time - starting from the purchase

until the final installation.

1 The Government Resolution N51 of 14 March, 1997



To provide drinking water quality of 5 Subproject communities, the AWSC will implement

planned sampling of water from the water sources feeding the communities checking all the

parameters required by the RA Ministry of Healthcare. Public Health State Inspectorate under

the Ministry of Healthcare also monitors water quality according to document ''Drinking Water.

Requirements to the Centralized Water Supply System's Water Quality. Quality Control № 2-III-

A2-1 sanitary rules and norms'' (registered on 28.12.2002), which specifies drinking water

quality, as well as the rules for quality control of water supplied to residential area through water

supply systems.

Since disinfection is done by chlorine, also residual chlorine level monitoring must be done.

For mitigation or prevention of the above mentioned adverse impacts, the Consultant developed

mitigating measures and environmental management plan EMP (Appendix 1), as well as

SSEMP (Appendix 2), which Contractor and controlling and supervising units shall follow.

The EMP is an environmental assessment document and included in the detailed designs.

8. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

The organizational obligations for the proposed mitigating measures are distributed among the

following agencies:

Executive agencies responsible for implementation of the measure.

1. For this special task the executive agency (HGSN Ltd and JINJ Ltd. joint venture) must

provide in the design stage obtaining of all the required agreements and permits from

corresponding state and local authorities, before tendering the construction works;

- conclusion of environmental expert examination (if needed),

- agreement of the State Agency for Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments,

if impact is envisaged by the design.

2. The executive agencies in the construction stage (construction contractors) will be

responsible for physical implementation of mitigating measures planned under the EMP,

as well as for obtaining of all permits and agreements required during the construction

implementation. Those are:

Agreements from the local self-governing authorities for the sites allotted for

hauling construction wastes, garbage and soil disposal,

Permission of the Ministry of Culutre, if historical and cultural or archaeological

monuments are discovered accidently during the construction implementation.

3. Before commencement of the construction, the following permits and certificates must be

obtained from PMU, if needed:

- cadastre certificate on the land allotment;

- water use permit, if needed.

Controlling agencies responsible for supervising the executive units to

provide implementation of the EMP measures by the latter

1. AWS CJSC/ADB PMU environmental specialist will be responsible for timely, due and

reliable implementation of the works and measures under the EMP and SSEMP. The

mentioned specialist will regularly visit the construction sites to provide due

implementation of the measures aimed at work impact mitigation. During the visits the

possible gaps will be identified and the infringements in implementation of mitigating

measures will be discovered, in accordance with the site visits checklist (Appendix 3).



The AWS CJSC/ADB PMU has the right also to require and check whether all permits

are available and valid, all the measures and monitoring part under the EMP are

implemented during the construction, in accordance with ADB guidelines and the RA

environmental and social legislation.

2. HGSN LLC and JINJ LLC joint venture will also implement control of implementation of

mitigating measures during the construction. The environmental specialist shall make

visits to control the EMP and SSEMP implementation and assess the situation according

to the Emissions/Ambient Inspection Monitoring Form (Appendix 6).

State monitoring agencies responsible for observing the extent and efficiency of

EMP implementation and making amendments in the project, if needed.

The state monitoring agencies are as follows:

- State Environmental Inspectorate under the Ministry of Nature Protection, RA

- Public Health State Inspectorate under the Ministry of Healthcare, RA

- The State Agency for Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments, RA

- The RA local self-governance bodies,

- The RA Ministry of Transport and Communication.

The sums of money envisaged for implementation of environmental measures included in the

EMP and SSEMP are included in the detailed design.

Implementation of mitigating measures for environmental impacts will be controlled regularly

through visits to the construction sites. With the help of the specially developed check list the

gaps and drawbacks will be discovered.

In case of not implementing or infringing the implementation of the mitigating measures,

after warning, the next payment will be terminated until the infringement is completely

eliminated.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTATIONS

During the meetings organized within the framework of public awareness campaigns, the

Consultant presented the environmental and social impacts to the Subproject beneficiary and

affected communities of Tavush region 1 town and 3 villages (Dilijan town and Bagratashen,

Ptghavan, Zorakan villages).

To provide the presence of all beneficiaries, preliminary agreements were gained with the

community head (Mayor, heads of the villages), Water company staff, Public organizations

functioning in Tavush region and other stakeholders.

In the Subproject settlements the meetings were held on December 18 and 19, 2014. During

the meetings the local population showed active participation.

The meeting was held on December 18 in Dilijan City Hall involving participation of deputy

mayor, City hall staff members, coordinator of regional Aarhus Centre, schools and kindergarten

staff members, housewives, as well as the inhabitants of the town Takhta district (19

participants in total).

The meetings in Ptghavan, Zorakan and Bagratashen villages were held on December 18 and

19 in the administrative centers of the villages involving participation of the heads of the

mentioned villages, staff of the administrative centre, representatives of the council, personal of



medical ambulatories, schools and kindergartens, housewives and elderly citizens (in Ptghavan

- 18 people, in Zorakan - 12, in Bagratashen - 11).

Women and elderly people highly concerned in water supply system improvement showed

active participation. The list of meeting participants is brought in Appendix 8.

During the meetings the detailed design and works planned were introduced, after which the

environmental specialist informed about the possible adverse environmental impacts which are

summarized in the EMP.

The latter is the description of the negative impacts on the environment, population health and

safety of construction workers, which are possible during the subproject implementation in

design, construction and operation stages. The list of the measures mitigating or preventing

these possible negative impacts was also represented.

The community residents were mainly concerned with the following possible problems arising

during the construction works:

- infringement of traffic and pedestrians normal regime because of trenches left open for a

long time, as well as improper rehabilitation of roads after the construction,

- hazardous situation for children and elders because of the absence of warning signs and

not limiting the construction site entry with safety tapes,

- pollution of the settlement with construction and household waste during the

construction, failing to remove them after the construction,

- long-term termination of water supply (sometimes for 1-2 days) during the construction.

After representing the EMP, the environmental specialist asked all communities’ residents to get acquainted in detail with the environmental management plan and

during the construction follow implementation of the measures included in the plan.

The environmental management plan was copied and disseminated among the meeting

participants, as well as in the rural administrative centre.

10. GRIEVANCE MECHANISM FOR AFFECTED PUBLIC

A grievance mechanism for external stakeholders and affected public is a process focused

mainly on receiving, evaluating, and addressing project-related grievances from affected

communities at the level of the WSSSP. The grievance mechanism differ from other forms of

dispute resolution (e.g. courts, administrative systems, etc.) in that it offers the advantage of a

locally based, simplified, and mutually beneficial way to settle issues within the framework of the

relationship between the WSSSP and the community.

Properly designed and implemented grievance management processes can benefit both the

WSSSP and communities by increasing the likelihood of resolving minor disputes quickly,

inexpensively, and fairly with solutions that reasonably satisfy both sides without taking the

grievances to other (formal) dispute resolution body. Grievance mechanisms can help to identify

and resolve issues before they are elevated to formal dispute resolution methods, including the

courts. For a grievance mechanism to function effectively, it is important to define the grievance

processing structure and to assign responsibilities for the mechanism’s implementation and

make them clear for the stakeholders.

Contact details for questions, complains and recommendations from the external stakeholders

of the WSSSP are as follows:

Hot line 1 71 - AWSC Customers Support Calling Center,

Investment Program Coordination Department

Mrs. Lilit Hovhannisyan - Environmental and Social Impact Specialist

Address 8a Vardanants blind alley, Yerevan 0010, Armenia

Phone / Fax (+374 10) 542877


The Complaints Log form is provided in Appendix 4. The foremen of the construction sites

should be provided with the Complaints Log to organize the registration of complaints. AWS

CJSC customer service (hotline) employees also will register all the complaints.

The focus of the grievance mechanism on the needs of affected communities is justified by the

fact that they are directly, and in some cases significantly, affected during the project

implementation but often lack viable options or capacity for raising their concerns through formal

structures such as the courts. This is especially true for disadvantaged groups within

communities. The WSSSP should periodically review the adequacy of the grievance process,

with the participation of communities, and agree on modifications. The contact details will be

provided in construction information posters and information leaflets distributed in the project

affected communities during the public consultations. Questions and comments expressed

during the public meetings will be recorded and addressed during the design and

implementation of the WSSSP.

A grievance mechanism will be available to allow an AP appealing any disagreeable decision,

practice or activity arising from disturbance during the construction works. APs during public

consultation will be fully informed of their rights and of the procedures for addressing complaints

whether verbally or in writing during consultation, survey, and time of compensation. This can

be obtained through by ensuring full participation and consultation with the APs, and by

establishing extensive communication and coordination among the affected communities, the

PMU and town or community heads. The below grievance mechanism does not limit the

citizen’s right to submit the case to the court of law just in the first stage of grievance process.

mailto:[email protected]



11. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

The EMP and the SSEMP will be based on the results of IEE prepared by subproject and will

include appropriate mitigation measures.

EMP consists of two components:

1. Mitigation measures and institutional responsibilities for implementation;

2. Environmental monitoring.

In case if an unanticipated environmental impact arises during the construction, the Table

provided in Appendix 5. Unanticipated Impact / Significant Incident / Accident Notice will be

filled up and attached to the varied orders.

The Contractor should strictly follow the environmental mitigation measures prescribed in the

EMP and SSEMP. The costs foreseen for the implementations of all the measures prescribed in

the EMP and SSEMP are included the total value of the Contract.

Notice on the failure to implement measures prescribed by the Technical Supervision Company

(TSC) or the Client would be sent to the Contractor in written. After the Notice to Correct, the

next recorded violation would trigger charging of liquidated damages in the amount of 0, 1% of

the total value of the contract. The liquidated damages do not relieve the Contractor from

remedying the violation. The recorded violation should be remedied in two working days period.

Liquidated damages would be retained from the next Performance Certificate and after the

completion of the construction activities the liquidated damages for the recorded violation will be

retained from the Retention Money. In case of three liquidated damages the Contract could be

terminated unilaterally.

Above described remedies of EMP violation will be included in the contracts for provision of

works concluded by AWSC under the W&W project.
