    1. INTRODUCTION

    This Bi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report of Project “Construction of Hassanabdal (Burhan)-Havelian (Samlaila) Motorway is the section of E-35, Package

    III (Km 39+611 to 58 + 711). This Bi-Annual EMR covers the status of

    Contractor’s compliance with SSEMP/EMP, ADB and GOP Environmental Safeguard Policies/guideliness from July-December, 2016.

    Package III of the project was supervised and monitored by the Engineer’s Representative including Environmental Specialist. Environmental Specialist of Consultant, contractor and NHA were mostly available on site. NHA Environment Team including Director, Assistant Directors Environment (Head Quarter) and ADB have regularly visited project site every month. Contractor overall status of EMP implementation is improved due to these regular monitoring visits and guidance provided by ADB, NHA and SC, s Environmental Specialist.

    Several meetings were held during reporting period. On 30th August, 2016 ADB & NHA highest level of Mission visited E35 project. On 25th October 2016, ADB Senior Environment Safeguards Specialist miss Zehra visited package III for monitoring EMP/SSEMP implementation status. She raised issue of modifying the batching plant by elevated ramp with water channel connected to water settling chambers. ADB mission also visited Package III section on 8th December 2016. The main focus of the mission was to review “Country’s Safeguard Policy’’ on the Project.

    During in the reporting period, environmental conditions of the project area remained satisfactory because LIMAK –JV-ZKB has tried to minimize the impacts of construction activities on the environment. The dust suppression is being done by sprinkling of water on service road, active working sites for embankment construction, Sub base, base construction and other construction activities. Solid waste is being disposed in dustbins placed at camp site and asphalt plant than TMA Haripur collected and disposed in Municipal Solid waste disposal site. The waste water is being collected and treated by using septic tanks/soakage pits at the base camp. Drainage system for rain water accumulated in the base camp has been solved by placing drainage pipes and ultimately flows into city main sewers. Utensils area is properly constructed and wastewater flows through pipes to sewers. LPG is used at camp site and asphalt plant for cooking purposes. Mess hygienic conditions are improved by regular cleaning.

    New fire extinguishers are placed at camp sites and asphalt plant. Old empty fire extinguishers are refilled and labelled showing date of filling and expiry.

    Additionally services of a domestic firm experienced in social and community

    development is also being procured as a Social Safeguards Management Consultant

    (SSMC). The main objective of engaging the SSMC is to support NHA and its field

    offices in capacity development, preparation and implementation of safeguards

    documents including internal monitoring and reporting. The Consultant will also verify

    and update baseline information, maintain an MIS system and develop relevant tools,

    protocols and systems which may be easily transferable for use by NHA in

    safeguards management.

    NHA expects both consultants SSMC and the design review and Supervisory

    Consultant to coordinate between each other for efficient project management of E-

    35-P-III.

    1.1 Project Background

    The existing Hassanabdal – Mansehra Road is an important part of the entire communication network of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and Northern Areas which links with

    Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Kaghan Valley and China via “Karakoram Highway (KKH)”. Existing Hassanabdal - Mansehra Road is a three-lane single carriageway road with

    a width of 10.5 meters. Heavy traffic load has been observed on this road since last

    ten years. To support sustained growth and increase competitiveness, Government

    of Pakistan (GOP) has taken a strategic approach to the transportation and has

    launched a major initiative to improve the trade and transport logistics chain in KPK

    and Punjab. National Highway Authority (NHA) planned to construct Hassanabdal -

    Mansehra Expressway (E-35) as a part of “National Trade Corridor (NTC)” Project. The proposed project is financed by the “Asian Development Bank (ADB)” and Government of Pakistan.

    Package III: 17.01 Km (Sarai Saleh- Havelian)

    This Express Highway project is entitled as “Hassanabdal – Havelian section of E-35 is a new highway alignment which starts from Burhan Interchange of Islamabad-

    Peshawar Motorway (M-1) and finally alignment is ended at Havelian near Hazara

    University of Hazara Campus. This Project will connect and facilitate three districts

    namely Attock, Haripur and Abbottabad. It curves away to North West of existing N-

    35 passing near Shin Gali and Jabbar and then curves back passing near Kuldarra,

    Chhaprian & Kalu Pind and finally crosses existing N-35 at Jarikas. From here, it

    again curves away to North-East of existing N-35 crossing Hattar and Khanpur Roads

    at Kot Najeebullah and Chichian respectively. Finally, the alignment ends at Havelian

    near Hazara University, Havelian Campus. Total length of the E-35 Phase-1

    alignment (Hassanabdal - Havelian Section) is 56.06 Km with total Right of Way

    (ROW) of 80m for first 2 Packages and 60m ROW for Package III.

    Currently all packages have been commenced for construction. Express Highway (E-

    35) the construction of Express Highway E35 Burhan to Havelian is a Project under

    the “Pakistan National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program–Tranche 2 (Hassanabdal–Havelian Section)” of the Government of Pakistan sponsored/ funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The National Highway Authority is the Client

    of the Project and the key responsible Government Department.

    3.12. Management of Disposal Areas

    Contractor has not utilized or proposed any disposal area during reporting period. 3.13. Instrumental Monitoring of Environmental Parameters As per EMP/SSEMP, Contractor has to carry analytical monitoring on quarterly basis for noise, drinking water and air emissions while surface water is on monthly basis. ZKB last monitoring of environmental parameters was carried out on 28 December 2016 for measuring concentration of air, water, noise quality and soil quality. 3.13.1. Ambient Air Monitoring

    Ambient air monitoring for concentration of CO, NO2, SO2 and PM10, were measured at

    asphalt plant to get an overview of the air quality while Pm10 measurement was carried along active construction site RD 8+120. Results shows that all measured values of environmental parameters are below and within permissible limits (NEQS). Table 3.12 shows values for ambient air emissions of CO at Asphalt Plant
