1. INTRODUCTION

1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has assisted the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK) for the International Transit Corridor CAREC 1 “Western Europe-Western China” Investment Program-Project 3 through its financing under Loan L2697-KAZ. The Project is divided in three packages each entailing the new construction, reconstruction and rehabilitation of a road. As such, the Committee for Roads (COR) of Kazakhstan Government has initiated Zhambyl Region State Road Investment Program to implement the up-gradation and improvement work of various identified road stretches in the region for capacity augmentation for safe and efficient movement of traffic. 2. The ADB Loan was provided by using Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF). The project 3 of the MFF was approved on 3rd December 2009 (Western Europe-Western China International transit Corridor). The three packages (Contract 006/CW-1; Contract 007/CW-2 and Contract 008/CW-3) are classified as “A” Category, because 2 roads (Contract 007/CW-2: Korday By-Pass) and (Contract 006/CW-1: Kulan Bypass) passing through the Archaeological sites, and the other road is a new construction of 7.7 km plus existing 10.0km (17.7km, Approach to Kyrgyzstan Border). Therefore, the environmental monitoring for the three contracts needs to be submitted Bi-annually to ADB. 1.1 Project Background

3. In Kazakhstan roads are a key element of regional and international transport system. They play an important role in providing access to rural areas, and facilitating transit traffic and in-country transport movement. However, much of the road network is in poor condition-about 60% of the national roads require major rehabilitation and proper maintenance. Moreover, the feeder road network serving the rural population is not fully developed; and is characterized by poor conditions and a low service level, especially during wintertime. This results in high transport costs. The road sector has long-standing bottlenecks, such as: (a) the road network is incomplete, and in some sections in bad condition; (b) truck overloading is frequent, cutting into the economic life of road assets; (c) revenues from transit are low, affecting cost recovery and reinvestment capabilities; (d) inefficient cross-border procedures increase the burden on trade and traders, and raise the cost of doing business; (e) weak road sector planning affects sound investment sequencing; and (f) project development and project management shortcomings create inefficiencies, high costs, and poor governance.

4. These gaps translate into higher-than-average transport costs. They also hamper regional cooperation and integration opportunities, and ultimately the country's competitiveness. As such, the Government of Kazakhstan's Western Europe-Western China Corridor development program intends to remove these constraints to improve the road sections in the country's territory of CAREC Transport Corridor I, which total 2,715 km running from Khorgos through Almaty and Shymkent to the Russian Federation's western border. The Corridor Development Program will improve the existing road and construct By-Passes and new alignments to make the Corridor suitable for international traffic. The Government sought assistance from the international financial institutions to fund sections along the Corridor. Asian Development Bank (ADB), with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) finance 470 km in Zhambyl Oblast. The Project 3 is one of such programs currently under implementation (Contract 006/CW-1 km 383-404, Kulan By-Pass; 21km; Contract



007/CW-2 km 162-260, Korday By-Pass, 80km; and Contract 008/CW-3 Km 0-17.7, Approach to Kyrgyzstan Border).

5. Further to note, each of the national road segments financed under the project is intended to promote economic growth in Kazakhstan by reducing transport costs. The project 3 also supports the government's strategy to reduce poverty and relieve transport bottlenecks, and each of the national roads had regional dimensions, with CAREC-1 network being major transport corridors to Western Europe, and Project 3 equally serving as a transport corridor to Western China. The project is expected to improve accessibility, promote economic and human development, reduce road transport costs, and increase the capacity to effectively manage and maintain the road network. During project formulation by the MoTC & COR, policy dialogue focused mainly on strengthening transport planning capacity and road maintenance capability and on development of road user charges.

1.2 Objectives, Scope, and Methodology

6. This Bi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report has been prepared in the month of June 2013. The report aims to provide information on the progress of implementing the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and to evaluate the implementation of EMP for necessary improvement if needed. 7. The purpose of environmental monitoring report (this Bi-annual EMR) is to satisfy the environmental safeguard requirements of the Government of Kazakhstan and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) as well as to fulfill the requirements written in the loan document for COR of MoTC (CAREC 1 Project). 8. The findings are based on the review of monthly progress reports and monitoring reports submitted by the Contractors on the monitoring of environmental impacts and findings obtained during the supervision of site specific monitoring by the Environmentalists of Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) intermittently between May to June 2013 and overall monitoring covers the period January to June 2013. 1.3 Project Description

9. The MoTC is the implementing and disbursing agency of this program through the Committee for Roads (COR). The project is a four lane/two lane all weather road with divided carriage ways of concrete and bituminous pavement. It is being implemented in several contract packages. The environmental monitoring of construction contracts being the subject of this report includes reconstruction of the road sectors from km 383 to km 404 (Contract 006/CW-1, Kulan By Pass) by the contractor "LLP JV Kazakhdorstroy-HYUNDAI" with contract price of 8.651.643.771,40 KZT; From km 162 to km 260 (Contract 007/CW-2, Korday By Pass) contractor being "Cengiz Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret Sirketi" with contract price of 18.290.797.377,17 KZT and 17.7 km (Contract 008/CW-3) from Korday to Kyrgyzstan border by "Akmola Kurilys Materialdari" (АКМ) with contract price 1.487.678.879,30 KZT. Hence this project consists of three independent contract packages. SNC-LAVALIN International Inc of Canada associates with «Kazdorproject" of Kazakhstan for Construction Supervision of these three contracts in Zhambyl Region (detailed in Section 1.3.1) for a duration of 25 months from 09 April 2012 (date of signing the contract with COR). The objectives of Consulting Services are to provide high quality services through execution of the Contracts in a timely manner within the budget, as well as



implementation of construction work in full compliance with the approved project documents, technical specifications, ADB, FIDIC and SNiP policies and guidelines, economic standards and GOST; including Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan. 10. The works and the consulting services for the above mentioned segments are being financed by JICA, ADB and the Republic of Kazakhstan. 1.3.1 Contract Packages 11. The construction contract for all the road sections has been awarded between November 2011 and January 2012.

(SNCLII). No changes to the project organization structure occurred during this reporting period. There were no changes to CSC project organization team. Some changes in the staff in particular, one new Environment Specialists have joined to the CENGIZ Insaat Contractor's team (Ms Elena Shamilova since October 2012). Further, on 23rd January, 2013, AKM entered into an agreement with Branch of State Enterprise "Zhambyl Regional Centre of Sanitary-Epidemiological Expertise"2 for laboratory support towards investigation of ambient air, noise and vibration, water and other parameters as part of EMMP administration. 1.4 Relationships with Contractors, Owner and Lender 13. During the reporting period the “Committee of Roads (COR) of Project 3 Road Corridor Investment Program” closely collaborated with PMC-ADB; CSC (SNCLII); LLP JV Kazakhdorstroy-HYUNDAI (KDSH); Cengiz Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (CENGIZ); Akmola Kurylys Materialdary (AKM) and ADB to review Environmental Reports for the (3 Contracts) of the Program. 2. CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS DURING PROJECT PREPARATION

14. At the time of project preparation at feasibility stage, the TAPP consultants were deputed for the survey and preparation of EIA for Project 3 roads (3 Contracts). As part of detailed project preparation, environmental impact assessment reports3 (EIA) were prepared by environmental consultant engaged by the Committee for Roads (COR). 15. Aside from the environmental consultant under the supervision work, the Project Management Consultant (PMC) office has also engaged an environmental consultant to guide and review environmental assessment reports for the current projects submitted by CSC; assist in procurement process to ensure that the environmental assessment report and its EMP is included or attached in the bidding document of the ongoing project; to ensure that contractors selected have capability to implement EMP especially implementing mitigation measures associated with construction works; work closely with supervision consultant (SNCLII) to monitor the implementation of EMP by contractors; and ensure that the EMP is implemented throughout project implementation period. In addition, the environment specialist under the PMC is also responsible to cross-check and monitors the overall implementation of EMP as part of periodic exercise. 2.1 Development of Environmental Management Plan

16. The environmental management plan was further revised by the Contractors' supported by the Environmentalists of CSC to identify potential environmental impacts of each project road and how to mitigate the impacts. The environmental assessment report provides recommendations on how the potential environmental impacts could be mitigated. Likewise, the environmental assessment reports which include the environmental management plan provides 2 Attestation Certificate No 11 registered with Government on 16 January 2008 for a period up to 16 January 2015 3 EIA-Almaty-Kordai-Blagoveschenka-Merke-Tashkent-Termez, km 162-260; Project No. 41121, MoTC, February 2010; EIA-Road Section Approach to Kyrgyzstan Border, Project No 41121-01, February 2010; EIA-Almaty-Kordai-Blagoveschenka-Merke-Tashkent-Termez” of the third start-up complex km 383-404,Project No 41121-01, February 2010.



a set of guidance on what, how, when and where the mitigation measures have to be implemented. It also includes who has to implement and monitor the implementation of mitigation measures. 17. There were 3 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports prepared under the feasibility stage. The environmental assessment reports in the form of EIA are helpful in following ways:

• It provides the basic information about the environmental conditions of the project areas and what will be the potential environmental impacts

• It provides the recommendations to mitigate potential environmental impacts and describe on how to implement in the environmental management plan

• It provides guidance on how the environmental monitoring has to be carried out, and

• It indicates what kind of environmental statutory clearance will need to be obtained. 2.2 Preparation of Bid Documents 18. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) covers the information of potential environmental impacts and the proposed mitigation measure for each road has been provided in the bidding documents. In addition to the EMP that was provided to the contractors, the bidding document also includes some detailed instructions on subject that highlight in the EMP and environmental monitoring plan on the followings:

• Precaution to be adopted during disposal of debris of solid wastes including disposal of organic debris generated during road construction

• Precaution to be adopted at sanitation and housekeeping at the labor construction camp like toilets, hygiene, water supply, waste disposal, first aid and maintenance etc

• To measure and maintain the air quality standard • To measure and maintain the noise and vibration quality standard • To check the primary water quality standard including physical and chemical properties

of drinking water. 19. The contractors’ response on the instruction to include works for environmental impacts associated with the construction activities is moderate to satisfactory. Necessary budget has been allocated particular for Category ‘A’ projects to handle environmental problems. Additionally, the contractors’ budget includes items of implementation of environmental management and monitoring plan included in the contract document. 20. The contract document for the contractors' (Clause 106 of Technical Specification & Item 4.18 of Contract Terms; Clause 100 of Technical Specification, 512-Borrow Pits of general and special conditions of contract) includes detailed terms and conditions regarding the safeguard issues and implementation of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans that has to be adhered and implement by the Contractors'. 2.3 Environmental Statutory Clearances 21. As stated in the loan document, prior to commencing a civil work all the required statutory clearances have to be obtained with regard to the 3 road projects (3 Contracts) classified by



ADB as ‘A’ Category project. The environmental statutory clearances for Project 3 are related with preservation of archaeological sites in Contract 1 and Contract 2, including removal of trees at village Kainar, and at the start of contract 1. In addition displacement of containers and petrol station (Contract-2) that has been obtained from the Akimat and Regional Department of the Committee for Roads (RDCOR) and clearances for some construction activities have been obtained from the Ministry of Land4. 22. Removal of trees along the ROW: Trees are removed within the proposed ROW in some places to allow for widening of the carriageway, construction of shoulders or to meet current road safety standards. It should be noted that trees within the ROW are considered to be within the purview of the Akimot (in Kulan, Project-1) and Agricultural Organization of near village Kainar (Project-2). Further, detailed in Section 4.5 (and Appendix-3) of this Report, and supporting Appendices. 3. IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS DURING CONSTRUCTION 23. The civil work contracts were granted to 3 Contractors in November 2011 and January 2012 respectively. The civil work construction for Contract-1 and Contract-2 started almost in time, for the contract 3 started a little bit late because of delay in signing agreement.

There is no significant adverse effect detected on environment by using balance cut and fills method during this stage, except infrequent localized temporary dispersion of dust pollution. The mitigation measures proposed in EMP are followed by the contractor to reduce and eliminate pollution caused by embankment development process. 4. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 4.1 An Overview 42. During this period, construction activities were suspended from December to February due to winter season. However, to enable effective monitoring, the Environmental Impact Assessment Report with Environmental Management Plan has been developed for all three Contracts6, and then has been revised and finalized by the Contractors' supported by CSC (SNCLII). Therefore, the monitoring activities are being guided by EMP procedures. However, the salient features of environmental compliance monitoring are reflected in Table 4.2. 4.2 Air Quality 43. In dusty areas such as at road sections where site clearance have been undertaken to facilitate construction of new pavements, at new embankment construction areas or at temporary unpaved detour or access roads; the surfaces have been sprayed with water using water trucks equipped with sprinklers or any other appropriate means. This procedure was executed to effectively control the excessive spreading of dusts particularly during dry season. Dust emission created by asphalt plant has been collected by its dust collection system or cloth filters to control the excessive dust. All construction activities have been executed in such a way that attempted to minimize if not totally eliminates the spreading of dust or any inconvenience and nuisance to road users and the roadside communities. The parameters investigated for

cement silos, construction sites, concrete plants, sand washing plants, are Inorganic dust, Nitrogen dioxide, Soot, Sulfur dioxide, Alkanes7, Carbon monoxide, etc,. 44. The surveyed results for all contracts are within the limit of established standards. Details are provided in Appendix-1 (Contract 006/CW-1), Appendix-2 (Contract 007/CW-2) and Appendix-3 (Contract 008/CW-3). 4.3 Noise and Vibration 45. The Contractors' have employed the most practical means to minimize noise resulting from their operations. Noise has been minimized through proper maintenance of equipment and vehicles. As such, most of the vehicles and mechanical plants used for the purpose of works were fitted with effective exhaust silencers, which are being maintained in good and efficient working order. Sound from power generators has been reduced by installing them inside with sound limiting enclosures away from the office and residential accommodations. Machines in intermittent use were being shut down in the intervening period between works or throttled down to a minimum. 46. The Contractors' have organized their operations with regard to the positioning of plant and movement of vehicles to minimize noise adjacent to properties. Special consideration have been provided to protect workers from harmful and long exposures to noise originating from construction machinery such as the wearing of earmuffs for operators. In most cases, handling of construction materials has been done during daytime and not in the night. 47. In any case, the sound level generated from Crushing and Screening Complex; Mortar Concrete plant, and around construction sites for 3 Contracts did not exceed the legal limit of noise standard levels (Noise level standard ranges from 75 to 80 decibels (dB)8 and, actual field results found from Contract-1 varies from 51.0 to 61.2; for Contract-3, varies 42 to 76). Details are provided in Appendix-1 (Contract 006/CW-1), Appendix-2 (Contract 007/CW-2) and Appendix-3 (Contract 008/CW-3). 4.4 Water Quality 48. All construction activities for 3 Projects (Contracts) within the wetted perimeter of natural bodies of water like Karakistak River, Kakpatas River, Agalatas River, and seasonal streams, etc., have been avoided. Machinery and equipment were not operated within the wetted perimeter or these bodies of water. All works have been undertaken in a manner that minimizes the silting of any body of water and no debris, slash, wood chips, organic debris, soil, petroleum, diesel fuel, oil, grease, ashes, or other substances deleterious to aquatic life etc, were not allowed to enter any body of water. Natural drainage patterns have been maintained or controlled throughout the entire construction operation to minimize silt release into streams. 49. Temporary access roads and haul roads have been constructed and functional so that they are stable and do not erode to cause silting. Where they cross water streams or channels that

The audible range of sounds expressed in terms of sound pressure levels (dB) ranges from the minimum detectable to the onset of pain is 0 dB (the threshold of hearing) to 120 dB (the threshold of pain).



contain water during rainy season, they have been properly provided with temporary culvert. Necessary stream diversions have been scheduled so that once started, the complete diversion can be completed at the earliest possible time (Contract 007/CW-2, at Village kainar Over Bridge Intersection). Any protective works required have been provided in accordance with the guidelines of concerned Authorities. The crossing of streams by vehicles and earth moving equipment has been avoided if other reasonable alternatives are available. For the 3 Projects

(Contracts), water quality9 results for parameters such as PH, Natrium+Potassium, Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Suspended solids, BOD, COD, Chlorides, Sulfur, Ammonium nitrogen, Phosphate, Iron, Fats, Synthetic surface active substances, and others shows within the standards. 50. However, exceptional results have been detected in Contract 006/CW-1, it is identified that, Iron in the River Karakystak is 4.9 times higher in April (actual concentration obtained from field is 1.47mg/m3). In May 1.5 times higher (actual concentration obtained from field is 0.44mg/m3) and in June 1.1 times higher (actual concentration obtained from field is 0.32m/m3). The established Standard for Iron is 0.3mg/m3. It should be noted that, the main sources of iron compounds in the surface waters are the processes of chemical weathering of rocks, accompanied by their mechanical breakdown and dissolution. During the interaction with the mineral and organic substances contained in the natural water- there forms a difficult complex of iron compounds. Irons are dissolved, weighted and colloidal when in water. Significant amount of iron comes with an underground drain and wastewater from agricultural effluents. The iron concentration is subject to appreciable seasonal fluctuations as well. 51. Also there is an excess of Phosphate MAC from 5 up to 30,7 mg/dm3, approximately 6,14 times in April, from 5 up to 25,1 mg/dm3, approximately 5,02 times in May and approximately 4,96 times in June 2013. The compounds of mineral phosphorus comes into natural waters as a result of weathering and dissolution of rocks containing orthophosphate (apatite and phosphorus), and proceeds with the surface of the reservoir in the form of ortho -, meta-, pyro-and polyphosphate ions (fertilizers, detergents, additives, warning scale formation in boilers and the like) and are formed during the biological processing of the remains of animals and plants. Excess levels of phosphate in the water, especially in groundwater, may be a reflection of the presence of impurities in the water - body fertilizer, components of domestic sewage, decaying biomass., etc,. Further, details are provided in in Appendix-1 (Contract 006/CW-1), Appendix-2 (Contract 007/CW-2) and Appendix-3 (Contract 008/CW-3). 4.5 Flora and Fauna Monitoring 52. The Contractors had to remove terrestrial flora and insignificant fauna habitats along the road alignment during the execution of works. However, during this period for Contract 006/CW-1, no floral habitats have been removed. For other contracts, details are provided in Appendix-2 (Contract 007/CW-2) and Appendix-3 (Contract 008/CW-3). 4.6 Land Acquisition and Resettlement 4.6.1 Contract 006/CW-1 (21 Km: Kulan By-Pass): This issue is not applicable, as the overall construction work is in a complete stage. 9 River water, Sewage water, Sand washing plant, (Water outlet No2, Contract 007/CW-2)

provided diversion, detour or access roads in accordance with the guidelines of Government Authorities of Kazakhstan. On completion of the phase of work, such temporary access or detour roads will be removed and the site reinstated to its original condition.



8. CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATIONS 87. Overall, the project is proceeding towards successful as realized in the midway of this implementation stage. However, the activities of environmental components of the Contract 007/CW-2 and Contract 008/CW-3 need to be urgently improved to ensure that the recommendations of the EMP are implemented by the Contractors to further comply with the requirements of the RK and ADB. 88. Further to note that, the CSC did not approve some of the Contractors' submitted reports due to deficiency in obtaining regulatory authorization, inadequate supporting documents, reference of outdated specifications and inappropriate text presentation. The CSC instructed the Contractors' for re-submission considering their comments. 89. Further to note that, "CENGIZ Insaat" did not submit any appropriate report on implementation Environmental Management and Protection Plan, for which they gave explanation that there is no Environmental Engineer permanently working at the site. Moreover, in spite of several reminders, no environmental reports covering the previous six months environmental monitoring activities received till 10th of June. 90. In relation to the three Projects, this "Bi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report (B-aEMR)- January to June 2013" has been developed by the CSC based on available information and field inspection. Hence, this Bi-aEMR contains detailed environmental safeguard status covering the period January to June 2013. The findings of the three Projects are rated relevant, effective, efficient, and likely to be sustainable. 91. However, the following recommendations need to be considered as priority The Contractors of Contract 007/CW-2 (Cengiz Insaat) and Contract 007/CW-3 (AKM) must comply with the following recommendations:

a) Immediately mobilize professional environmentalists to carry on field monitoring program as prescribed in the EMP;

b) At the time of launching site specific sampling of different parameters (air quality, water quality, noise and vibration, electromagnetic radiation, etc), the Contractor must inform the CSC in advance by issuing Request for Inspection (RFI) letters. So that the CSC representative can assist in overall survey program including cross-checking the locations, calibration of instruments and verify proper procedures followed as per EMP;

c) Borrow pit ground investigations should be carried out at regular intervals across the site. It is further recommended that the characteristics and thickness of the workable deposit is investigated on an appropriate basis; (an example of 30 m to 50 m square grid). This distance should only be widened if the site is very large and the materials very similar at each test location. Unexpected changes in the ground profile should be examined locally by making additional intermediate investigation sites in the grid. A site plan of each Borrow Pit should be prepared, showing:

• The main features of the site. • The means of access and the pit location with respect to haul road placement for

extraction.



• Reclamation / rehabilitation of the site to an acceptable satisfactory condition by: - eliminating unacceptable health hazards and ensuring public safety - restoring the site to a condition that is visually acceptable to the (community, as the land is used for grazing) - reclaiming the areas impacted for future use (agricultural for example) -preparing the site to be amenable to support vegetation -removing any contaminated soils -ensuring physical stabilization of the soils (a combination of smoothing and contouring slopes, replacing overburden and topsoil and re-vegetating) -ensuring that final drainage of the site does not adversely affect neighboring properties.

d) Equipping facilities with fire detectors, alarms, and modern fire-fighting equipment should be installed in Contractors' mail office and dormitories.

1. Introduction

This Appendix-A1contains supporting additional information and data to the main text covering the project monitoring period January to June 2013 for the Contract 006/CW-1, (Kulan By-Pass) by the Contractor Kazakhdorstroy-HYUNDAI (KDH).

In fact, construction environmental monitoring is a function of supervision, and the essential purpose is to ensure adherence to the EMP. The monitoring is a day to day process, which ensures that departures from the EMP are avoided or quickly rectified, or that any unforeseen impacts are quickly discovered and remedied. Specific actions in the EMP that are to be monitored are included in the Monitoring Program (Section 2). As such, during construction of 21 km Kulan By-Pass, environmental monitoring was carried out to ensure the protection of landslide, side slopes, and embankment from potential soil erosion, borrow pits restoration, quarry activities, siting of work sites and material storages, siting of batch, concrete, sand washing and asphalt plants especially close to the nature reserve, preservation of religiously sensitive locations, community relations, and safety provisions. In addition, empirical surveys focused on the state of ambient air, water quality, noise and vibration levels, and other relevant parameters with respect to project intervention towards safeguarding the ecosystem.

4. Quarries and Borrow Sites

During construction of the road, locations of quarry and borrow sites, access roads, spoils disposal sites for wastes and other facilities was determined by contractors. The Contractor did not implement any exploration activities from illegal sources. Borrow pits location was determined by the contractor's team at the final design stage. The exploitation of the borrow pits and quarries was conducted by the Constructing Contractor following legal permit and authorization from the Government authority (Section 2). The Borrow area consists of is 14,3 hectare, including: plot area for loam extraction is 14,3 hectare - rain-fed arable land (Mining Allotment No. U-09-1503 dated 08.05.2012 Y). The sole of productive strata is determined by the depth of the proposed working out, namely: the horizontal plane of the surface of 738.0 meters above sea level. The surface of the productive sequence has sharply dissected relief with soil-vegetation layer (0.1 m), presented by loam with plant roots. Useful stratum consists of sandy and calcareous loam with brownish –grey color, cloddy. Depth of prospecting wells and the opened capacity of minerals is from 3,6 m to 16,1 m. The substratum of the site “Enbeksh-1” is ground water level. The hydrographic network is represented by small rivers such as: Karakata and Sarybulak, which originate in the high part of the Kyrgyz Range. These small rivers are characterized by fast currents and unstable watercourse. Seismically the area has potential 9-point earthquakes. Freezing conditions are absent, the depth of soil freezing in winter up to 0.8 m. LLP “JV Kazakhdorstroy-HYUNDAI” on the basis of Contract for loam extraction Out Ref No. 577 dated 01.06.2012, had made the exploration and production of clay loam at the field “Enbekshi-1” in T-Ryskulov rayon of Zhambyl Oblast.

Further, permanent land allotment had been conducted by Employer – Znambyl Oblast Dept. Committee for Roads. At the road section km 383-404 there are the private lands of Ms. Zhabysbayeva. According to the information received from Zhambyl Regional Department (CoR) - regarding to Ms. Zhabysbayeva currently is being seized a land for permanent allotment of land of motor road “Western Europe-Western China” km 383-404 according to the Land Code of RoK:

1. Defined area of land –0,098 ha; 2. There is a resolution of Akimat of T-Ryskulov rayon Zhambyl Oblast № 117 dated

February 28, 2013 “Seizure of land for government needs” ; 3. Determined amount of compensation for the seizure of land is 660 000 KZT and should

be paid by the government up to August 2013.

6. Air Quality As described in the text (Section 4.2), during this period, Air quality survey conducted in different project sites did not exceed the established standards. The following Table-A1.6 shows the detailed survey results addressing relevant parameters.

7. Water Quality

Also there is an excess of phosphate MAC from 5 up to 30,7 mg/dm3, approximately 6,14 times in April, from 5 up to 25,1 mg/dm3, approximately 5,02 times in May and approximately 4,96 times in June 2013. The compounds of mineral phosphorus comes into natural waters as a result of weathering and dissolution of rocks containing orthophosphate (apatite and phosphorus), and proceeds with the surface of the reservoir in the form of ortho -, meta-, pyro-and polyphosphate ions (fertilizers, detergents, additives, warning scale formation in boilers and the like) and are formed during the biological processing of the remains of animals and plants. Excess levels of phosphate in the water, especially in groundwater, may be a reflection of the presence of impurities in the water - body fertilizer, components of domestic sewage, decaying biomass. Also there is an MAC excess of suspended substances from 0.25 mg/dm3 (MAC) to 0.3 mg/dm3 in March, about 1,2 times and from 0,25 mg/dm3 to 0,33 mg/dm3, about in 1,32 times higher norms in May, in June from 0,25 mg/dm3 to 0,33 mg/dm3 about 1.48 times higher. Suspended solids present in natural waters, consists of particles of clay, sand, silt suspended organic and inorganic substances, plankton and various microorganisms. The concentration of suspended particles associated with seasonal factors and the flow regime, depends on the rocks that form the channel, as well as anthropogenic factors, such as agriculture, mining, etc.



Suspended particles are influenced to the transparency of the water and the penetration of light, the temperature, the composition of the dissolved components of surface waters, the adsorption of toxic substances, as well as the composition and distribution of sediments and the rate of sedimentation. In accordance with the requirements for the composition and properties of water bodies at points of drinking and cultural purpose suspended solids from wastewater descent should not increase correspondingly more than 0, 25 mg/dm3 and 0, 75 mg/dm3. For water containing low water more than 30 mg/dm3 natural minerals, is allowed to increase the concentration of suspended solids within 5%. According to the program of environmental monitoring at the site km 383-404 there is crossing with open water reservoir (river Karakystak). In the period from March to June 2013 analysis of sewage water of sand washing plant has not been conducted due to dismantling process. The overall results of the analysis are presented in the following Table-A1.7.

8. Noise Noise level field sampling was conducted for the Village Lugovoe, Mortar Concrete Plant and Crush and Screening Plant and presented in Tables A1.8, Table A1.9 and Table A1.10. Monitoring on actual factors was carried out with noise and vibration analyzer “Assistant”. The obtained results are within Maximum Admissible Level of noise and vibration as well as the requirements of the Sanitary Protection of the environment.
