Summary Statement

The environmental monitoring was carried out on monthly basis (6 nos field visit) to understand the EMP compliance status of 6 substation areas out of 24 substation under the project - Augmentation and Rehabilitation of Distribution System in DESCO Area. As there was no construction activity, here, base information collected and it was found that initial visit was completed by the officials of Siemens and Topographyical Survey is being started to understand the shape, form, level and geographical position of the proposed 24 sites. At this stage, it was identified that existing physical, biological and social conditions observed to get an insight about the base situation. During the construction, the monitoring team will visit physical, biological and social environmental status of the construction site based on prepared questionnaires which have been specified both in qualitative and quantitative approaches. The labors, site manager, HSE manager, and relevant stakeholders will be consulted and explored environmental and social issues like occupational health and safety and working condition status (i.e. labor shed, toilet facilities, source of drinking water, wash room, kitchen etc) and gender status and equal opportunity for those labors. The compliance result will be specified based on the set indicators and presented as in a matrix in Appendix B for both compliance and non compliance status.

1.5 Monitoring Law and Policy Standard

11. The Environment Conservation Rules place construction of power plant into the Red category. The site clearances based on IEE and for environmental clearance certificate have been obtained from Department of Environment (DoE). As per the Bangladesh Govt. policy standard, environmental compliance monitoring is one of the important part that would be initiated following the Environmental compliance monitoring guidelines by DoE and the agreement between ADB and Bangladesh Govt based on the ADB loan covenants. DESCO has taken initiative to expand its infrastructure of the distribution system through construction of new lines, installation of new substations and rehabilitation of existing substation in order to provide new connections to the incoming consumers. In this regard, during carrying out the EIA study for the proposed twenty four 33/11kV Substations, the DESCO has developed EMP that needs to be complied following the national guidelines of Bangladesh and policies of Asian Development Bank. Now, the purpose of the environmental monitoring is to monitor whether the construction activities are performing based on the EMP or is creating any environmental impacts or any adjustment is required in safeguard measures.

1.5.1 Compliance with National Environmental Laws

12. The environmental legislation of GOB gives importance to reduce the negative impacts of infrastructure development projects, and give priority for the enhancement of positive impacts due to the project implementation. It conforms the National Environmental Policy

Introduction

1992 based on the Agenda 21 of Rio Conference and subsequent enactments of the Bangladesh Environmental Conservation Act (BECA) 1995 and Bangladesh Environmental Conservation Rules (BECR) 1997.

National Environmental Laws Compliance Requirement Performance of DESCO

Bangladesh Environmental Conservation Act (BECA) 1995 and Bangladesh Environmental Conservation Rules (BECR) 1997

The Construction of Twenty Four 33/11kv Substations in DESCO Area requires environmental clearance certificate (EC)

The environmental clearance (valid for 1 year) for the project was obtained from the DoE on 25.06.15. The processing for renewal is ongoing as per the Government rules.

3 sites under this project

have been relocated that require Environmental clearance certificate. The completion of EIA for these relocated sites is in under process.

1.5.2 Bangladesh Government Regulation and compliance monitoring

13. The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act of 1995 (ECA, 1995) is the key legislation in relation to environment protection in Bangladesh. This Act is promulgated for environment conservation, standards, development, pollution control, and abatement. It has repealed the Environment Pollution Control Ordinance of 1977. The Act has been amended in 2000, 2002, 2007 and 2010.

The main objectives of the Act are:

• Conservation and improvement of the environment; and

• Control and mitigation of pollution of the environment.

The main strategies of the Act can be summarized as:

• Declaration of ecologically critical areas and restriction on the operations and processes, which can or cannot be carried/initiated in the ecologically critical areas;

• Regulations in respect of vehicles emitting smoke harmful for the environment;

• Environmental clearance;

• Regulation of the industries and other development activities’ discharge permits;

• Promulgation of standards for quality of air, water, noise and soil for different areas for different purposes;

• Promulgation of a standard limit for discharging and emitting waste; and

• Formulation and declaration of environmental guidelines.

14. The ECA, 1995 specified that no industrial unit or project shall be established or undertaken without obtaining Environmental Clearance from Director General in a manner prescribed by the Rules. The project promoter must obtain Environmental Clearance from the Director General of Department of Environment (DoE). An appeal procedure does exist for those promoters who fail to obtain clearance. Failure to comply with any part of this Act may result in punishment of imprisonment or fine or both. The DoE executes the Act under the leadership of the Director General.

7

Introduction

15. The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act (Amendment), 2000 focuses on: (1) ascertaining responsibility for Compensation in cases of damage to ecosystems, (2) increased provision of punitive measures both for fines and imprisonment and (3) fixing authority on cognizance of offences.

16. The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act (Amendment), 2002 elaborates on: (1) restriction on polluting automobiles, (2) restriction on the sale and production of environmentally harmful items like polythene bags, (3) assistance from law enforcement agencies for environmental actions, (4) break up of punitive measures and (5) authority to try environmental cases.

17. The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act (Amendment), 2010 introduces new rules & restriction on: a) Ensure proper management of hazardous wastes to prevent environmental pollution and Health Risk, b) No remarked water body cannot be filled up/changed; in case of national interest; it can be done after getting clearance from the respective department; and c) Emitter of any activities/incident will be bound to control emission of environmental pollutants that exceeds the existing emission standards (d) Government may declare any ecosystem as “Ecologically critical area” if it appears to be degraded or expected to be degraded and take all precaution measures to protect that ecosystem. In addition, government shall stop any ongoing activities and will not allow any new developments in the ecosystem after declaration of “Ecologically Critical Area”.

18. The Bangladesh Environment Conservation Rules, 1997 is the first set of rules, promulgated under the ECA 95 (so far there have been three amendments to this set of rules – February and August 2002 and April 2003). The Environment Conservation Rules of 1997 has provided categorization of industries and projects and identified types of environmental assessments needed against respective categories of industries or projects.

19. Among other things, these rules set (i) the National Environmental Quality Standards for ambient air, various types of water, industrial effluent, emission, noise, vehicular exhaust etc., (ii) the requirement for and procedures to obtain environmental clearance, and (iii) the requirement for IEE and EIA’s according to categories of industrial and other development interventions.

20. The proposed project, according to the DoE, is considered under the “Red” category of the Environmental Conservation Rules, 1997.

21. Noise Pollution (Control) Rules, 2006 gives the authority to all the Union Councils, Paurasabhas, City Corporations, City Development Authority (i.e. RAJUK, CDA, KDA, RDA etc.) to mark off the areas under their jurisdiction as silent, residential, mixed, commercial or industrial. They should also put signs to mark those areas. The act also describes the approved standard limit of sound in the added schedule 1 and 2. In the schedule 1, silent area means area up-to a radius of 100 meters around hospitals or educational institutions or special institutions/ establishments identified/to be identified by the government. In the silent area, it is prohibited to use any kind of horns of vehicles, audio signals and loudspeakers. According to this act, daytime is counted from 6am to 9pm whereas nighttime is counted from 9pm to 6am.

22. The Motor Vehicle Ordinance, 1983 stated to impose a penalty of maximum two hundred taka for those vehicles that are emitting smokes that poses health hazard in the public places. It also restricts the passenger from smoking in public service vehicles and in any other vehicles with notice of not smoking. This ordinance is enforced occasionally but a regular enforcement would be helpful to reduce air pollution in big cities including Dhaka.

8

Introduction

However, it is to be noted that amount of the penalty is very low which may be revised as well.

23. The Environment Court Act, 2000 provides for the establishment of environment courts and matters incidental thereto. This act also provides the jurisdictions of environment court, penalty for violating court’s order, trial procedure in special magistrate’s court, power of entry and search, procedure for investigation, procedure and power of environment court, authority of environment court to inspect, appeal procedure and formation of environment appeal court.

1.5.3 Compliance with DoE’s Guidelines

24. As mentioned above, the project activities fall under the ‘red’ category according to the Environment Conservation Rules, 1997. For projects under this category, it is mandatory to carry out IEE and subsequently EIA including Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and where necessary develop a Resettlement Plan for getting environmental clearance from the DoE. The DoE has issued EIA Guidelines for Industries and addresses the IEE and EIA for several industrial sectors and activities. Each Project Proponent shall conduct an IEE or EIA and is expected to consult and follow the DoE guidelines. The provisions of the environment legislations and the EIA guidelines of the DoE have been reviewed under this study. The DoE has issued application procedure for obtaining site/environmental clearance.

25. Environmental quality standards for air quality, noise, odor, sewage discharge, industrial effluents, and industrial project emissions for Bangladesh

26. The Environment Conservation Act, 1995 and the Environment Conservation Rules, 1997 are the main legislative base in Bangladesh for protection and conservation of natural environment. The Environment Conservation Rules (1997) place activities of power plant into the Red category. However, the Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) of Asian Development Bank has also been reviewed since ADB is financing the project in partnership with the GoB. As per the ADB categorization, the sub-station construction activities are under the category B considering the significance of the project’s potential environmental impacts. Therefore, the EMP is prepared based on the combination of both the national and the ADB.

27. The environmental standards are determined in the Environmental Conservation Rules. The standards for air, water, sound, odor and other components of the environment is started to monitor in accordance with the standards specified in Schedules - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. The Bangladesh standards, in general, are less stringent compared to the developed countries. This is in view to promote and encourage industrialization in the country. The Bangladesh standards are not for any specific period of time. There is no provision for partial compliance too. For this reason, monitoring is based on the national standards unless there is absence of clear standards; only then ADB’s standard is being considered.

28. Following IESCs and parameters are selected for monitoring in DESCO’s 24 sub-station areas which have presented in Table 1.2.

2. Approach and Methodology

2.1 Introduction

36. At the time of Monitoring of the project area and compiling this report (June 2017) there is no construction, rehabilitation or remediation activities had commenced on site and none is envisaged to commence until August 2017 at the earliest. However, a monitoring team from CEGIS visited 6 sites of proposed 24 substations to monitor existing physical, ecological and socio-economic conditions of the proposed project sites. In the following sections, these components along with indicators, tools and techniques are discussed.

2.2 Overall Approach

37. The objective of the Environmental Compliance Monitoring is to identify environmental issues and to work proactively with the project team to resolve these issues before they affect the construction schedule. The proactive approach become very helpful to identify where violations have occurred, but rather to take an active role in the design, planning and sequencing of the project, to identify problem areas ahead of time and to suggest solutions. In this environmental monitoring, a proactive approach has been followed and mobilizes a multidisciplinary team to monitor whether the construction activities are performing based on the EMP or is creating any environmental impacts or any adjustment is required in safeguard measures. At this stage of the project, no construction activities have been found but existing physical, biological and social scenario have been identified following the proactive approach regarding the issues related to the environmental monitoring.

2.3 Study mobilization

38. In the Inception Phase, a roadmap for environmental monitoring prepared with detailed approach and methodology. Following the roadmap, the monitoring team visited the project site and collected relevant data. Before the visit, the team also prepared necessary tools for data collection.

39. Thus, a comprehensive checklist on environmental and social compliance was prepared. A preliminary checklist (Appendix B) was first prepared considering the recommendations suggested in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of the EIA report of the Augmentation and Rehabilitation of Distribution System in DESCO area

40. In the EMP included in the EIA report, a number of guidelines for construction activities was recommended to be followed, which was prioritized during the preparation of the checklist, as compliance of those suggested measures would ensure the overall environmental protection and social security. Along with this, Equator Principles were also followed in the preparation of checklist.

2.4 Study Team Mobilization

41. A contract agreement between DESCO and CEGIS (the Monitoring Consultant) was signed on 9 May, 2017. From this time, a multidisciplinary team mobilized to prepare work plan, monitoring check list and other tasks related to the Terms of Reference (ToR).

42. After signing the Contract Agreement, CEGIS mobilized a core group of highly skilled professionals as proposed in the technical proposal. Initiatives had been taken for

2.5 Methodology

2.5.1 Physical environment

a) Ambient air quality

46. Air quality is an indicator of purity of air for respiration process of human being plants, and animals. Poor air quality can affect human health and deteriorate surrounding environment. Air quality was monitored through visual inspection as potential pollution sources were from external air contamination.

b) Noise level

47. Noise level is an important parameter as excessive noise may create disturbance to local communities, ecosystem and workers at worksite due to project activities. Short-term noise exposure can be overcome with rest, but if exposure is sustained, it may result in irreversible long-term damage. Hearing loss in the workplace can lead to safety risks if

14


workers are unable to hear alarms or critical communications from other workers. Noise level was perceived from individual acoustics of monitoring team.

c) Waste management

48. An inefficient waste management system may create serious negative impacts like infectious diseases, land and water pollution and obstruction of drains. As there was no waste generated from project activities, there was no inevitability for monitoring of waste management.

d) Water quality

49. Water quality is an important issue here since construction activities might pollute nearby water sources. In addition, drinking water quality is also an important consideration in terms of health concern of project employees. In this context, water quality was monitored on site through visual assessment likewise air quality.

e) Soil quality

50. Soil is an important, but often overlooked component of water management. Soil quality refers to the ability of soil to perform its functions. Soil is especially important in regulating runoff of storm water and in supporting trees, shrubs, and herbs. Management practices are often needed to restore soil quality after development. The soil composition of the project sites were investigated visually to observe soil quality and present soil condition will be understood in the next stage of monitoring as the construction activities has not yet been started.

2.5.2 Biological environment

a) Ecological resources

51. This component entails the terrestrial lives and habitats of the ecosystem, and their natural processes. Many construction activities might directly or indirectly lead to the overall disruption of surrounding ecosystem and biodiversity. Such disruptive events might affect birds and wildlife during construction phase of the project. A number of measures have already been suggested in the EIA report to avoid these ecosystem disruptions. In the monitoring, presently, the overall project area condition observed and identify vegetation (i.e. Terrestrial and Aquatic) habitat (i.e. Native Birds, small Mammals, Reptiles and Amphibians). With the starting of construction work, EMP (provided in EIA report) will be checked whether they are compiled or not. Most of the data is started to collect through visual observation, True plus (tree height and DBH measurement) and consultation with local people.

2.5.3 Socio-economic environment

a) Compensation

52. The project proponent is obliged to provide compensation to the land owners if it acquires private lands. Those affected stakeholders is started to monitor as they got proper compensation or not. Besides, the collected information will be updated at the monthly on site field visits. In this regard, a checklist is prepared and data will be collected through community meeting, informal group discussion and key informant interview.

15


b) Livelihood and living condition

53. Livelihood and living condition of those primary stakeholders have started to monitor through in depth observation, group discussion and key informant interview. The present livelihood and living condition of surrounded people of project area have been identified and will also be updated at the next stage of monthly environmental compliance monitoring.

c) Community health, safety and security

54. Occupational health safety and security will be monitored through field visit and public consultation (i.e. Informal discussion, Community meeting etc.) during construction phase of the project. At this stage no construction activity is found so, community health, safety and security condition will be monitored at the further stage of this environmental monitoring.

d) Labor and working condition

55. During construction, labor and working condition will be monitoring based on observation and consultation with primary and secondary stakeholders. The present labor and working condition of surrounded project areas have been identified through informal meeting, observation and key informant interview.

3. Monitoring Results

3.1 Introduction

56. Dhaka Electric Supply Company limited has made a Contract Agreement (Appendix C) with Simens Ltd India in consortium with Siemens Bangladesh to Design, Supply, Install & Commission 24 (twenty four) 33/11kV Substations in Turnkey Basis in DESCO area under the Dhaka and Gazipur districts against Bid No. IFB 01/2016, Package-C1 of Lot-3 under ADB Loan No.: 3087- BAN: under “Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program” (Trench 2). A team from Siemens has already visited and started Topographical Survey to understand geographical position , shape, form for the proposed 24 sites.

57. With the consultation with the DESCO officials, the monitoring team understood that any construction activity in any of the locations of 24 sites had not yet been started. In this first monitoring, a multidisciplinary team visited 6 sites with a checklist (Appendix B) and again found no construction activity within the project vicinity. The findings of those sites are stated in Table 3.1.

58. Based on field visit the existing site condition has been narrated in the following sub-section:

3.2 Physical Environment

3.2.1 Air quality

59. The monitoring team did not notice any construction or operation activity in the project area or in its vicinity. So the present air quality of the project area is solely dependent on the vehicle movement (emission from vehicle exhaust, dust due to vehicle movement etc.) around the area.

3.2.2 Ambient noise quality

60. The noise levels around all the project sites were within acceptable limits. As there was no construction or operation activity in or around the project site, the project sites in most cases were calm and quite. However, there was some insignificant noise generated due to traffic movements around the vicinity of some project sites, which were within the permissible limits.

3.3 Biological Resources

3.3.1 Bio ecological zone

61. According the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Bangladesh has divided the country into 25 Bio-ecological Zones in context of Biological diversity. The project area has fallen under Bio-ecological Zones of a) Brahmaputra - Jamuna floodplain, and b) Madhupur Sal Tract.

3.3.2 Terrestrial ecosystem

62. The proposed substations (24 numbers) fall mostly in the urban area. The urban area is denuded due to the practice of urbanization and support urban lifestyles especially housing and infrastructure development. A few number of the project area is vegetated by local tree species such as Banana (Kola), Mango (Aam), Barry (Jaam), etc. In some locations herbs found scattered with a limited number of individuals i.e. Bhat (Clerodendrum viscosum), Biskantali (Polygonum Sp), Teet Begun (Solanum nigram), etc. The vegetation provide habitat for some small wildlife species

18

Monitoring Results

3.3.3 Terrestrial Fauna

63. Amphibian species favor wetland and the marginal dried areas. The available species are Asian Brown Tree frog (Polypedates leocomystax), Cricket frog (Fejervarya Sp.) and Common Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus).

64. Reptiles are rare in these urban locations. Some species have found such as Bengal Lizard (Varanus bengalensis), Common Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor), Buff-striped Snake (Amphiesma stolata), etc.

65. Common bird species of the project area are: Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis), Asian Pied Starling (Sturnus contra), Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer), Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis), Spotted Dove (Streptopelia chinensis), Blue Rock Pigeon ( Columba livia), Coppersmith Barbet (Megalaima haemacephala), Jungle Babbler (Turdoides striata), Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus), Brahminy Kite (Heliastur indus), Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), White breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis).

3.3.4 Aquatic Ecosystem

The wetlands in these areas remain completely dry and local people are cultivating seasonal vegetables in this area during dry period. The Cricket Frog (Fejervarya Sp.) and Skipper Frog (Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis) commonly found amphibians in most wetland habitats. Common Smooth Water Snake and water birds are severely affected by the alteration of the natural habitat. Wetland degradation has left very little or no shelter to waterfowl. The Indian Pond Heron (Ardeola grayii), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), Little Cormorant (Microcarbo niger), Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus), etc.

3.4 Socio–economic Resources

66. The proposed project fall under the Badda, Kafrul, Gulshan, Mirpur, Khilkhet, Pallabi, Turag, Uttara, Biman Bandar Thana, Uttarkhan and Gazipur Sadar thana.

67. People showed greater interest and opined that there is urgency to install Substations to meet the growing demands of electricity. The availability of non-farm laborer is medium for both genders in the area. The study area includes some industries e.g. Garments Industry, ice-factory; Sweater factory, Conversion Natural Gas Company Limited, ice-cream factory, saw mill, sweetmeat factory, furniture factory, Cottage industries Blacksmith, handicrafts, bamboo works, cane works etc. The rate of industry labor varies due to types of work and industry. Male labor gets more wages than female labor.

68. The wage rate of the male laborers ranges between Tk. 400 /-per day for farm and Tk. 500 /-per day for non-farm activities. Besides, females are getting highest Tk.300/-per day and Tk. 200/- per day respectively for the non-farm activities. It is assumable that rapid industrialization and urbanization will take place if the uninterrupted supply of electricity is ensured. The officials of DESCO are aware to ensure occupational and health safety, and people’s participation with all stages of project implementation.

19

4. Institutional Arrangement and Grivence Redress Mechanism

4.1 Institutional Arrangement

69. The organogram (provided by the DESCO) is responsible to monitor environmental compliance and monitoring during the project construction. The assistant engineer (electrical), assistant manager, and sub assistant engineer are working under supervision of the deputy project director for monitoring of augmentation, rehabilitation of distribution system in DESCO area. The project director is responsible to supervise and guide the whole work regarding monitoring and compliance.

No disturbance on wildlife movement

Limiting the use of night light

No plantation of non-native species

The removal of vegetation shall be restricted to the development footprint, which should encompass areas that are already relatively disturbed in preference to clearing vegetation

Any additional clearing for construction will compound the impacts, so ancillary facilities outside the footprint shall be avoided

The construction footprint shall be clearly demarcated. The clearing boundaries are to be shown to machinery operators with the instruction that machinery is not allowed to operate outside the boundaries. The area is then cleared to minimize disturbance to adjacent areas

The boundary will be fenced and the area cleared in such a way that the footprint shall not be extended during clearing works.

If the area is to be revegetated, preference should be given to naturally occurring species that are recognized as non-invasive species.
