PART II
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITIORING:
Our monitoring methodology is several field observation and survey by a professional joint team
including Team Leader, Resident Engineer and Field Engineer of Consultant along with Project
Manager and Environmental Manager of Contractor. During the current construction activities,
environmental field inspections to the construction sites have been undertaken by Project Manager
and Environmental Officer of Contractor and Field Engineer and Resident Engineer of the
Consultant, who are directly responsible for environmental monitoring, team time to time as the
routine duties as per IEE and EMP provides detailed description of the environmental conditions of
the project area. In addition to routine monitoring, the mentioned joint team monitored the site
and camps after each Monthly Progress Meeting; Specifically, on 26th July 2015; on 29th August
2015;on 27th September 2015; on 25th October, on 28th November 2015 and on 13th December
2015. As well as, the Environmental Impact and Mitigation Measures evaluated by consultant on
20th July 2015; on 26th August 2015;on 26th September 2015; on 29th October, on 27th
November 2015 and on 14th December 2015. The main purpose of monitoring is to observe and
collect data for monitoring of various environmental compliances.
In the month of July, August and September weather became dry and hot. In some places, dusts
have been observed. But as per Consultant’s instruction all dust have been suppressed by water
spraying on the dusty area. The Consultant team was always vigilance, so, no significant adverse
environmental impacts occurred due to construction activities during this reporting period. Few
minor temporary environmental impacts were identified due to negligence of the Contractor to
comply contract obligation/instructions of Consultant. The detailed description of identified
impacts during construction stage and mitigation measures to safeguard environment in this
project are considered as follows:
Water Quality: Water pollution is the contamination
of water bodies like Canal, Channel, River, Pond, Lake, etc. Water
pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly
discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to
remove harmful compounds. In the road construction site there
is ever possibilities to contaminate the water of the water bodies’
due to carelessness of the contractors. Water pollution affects
plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all
cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and
populations, but also to the natural biological communities.
Observations: No abjectionable occurrence/situation has been seen about the water bodies
beside the construction site. No construction work was done near the river or other water body,
except digging of well foundation B or 55 m bridge. So water quality worsening, soil infection, oil
spilling from mechinery or equipment and solid trash was not observed into water bodies.
Mitigation measure: All the work was under control and has not seen any possibilities of water
contamination, because the consultant’s engineers continuously supervise, as well as, Contractor’s
men have been taught as follows:
Bi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report No. 9 (July to December
2015), Jabul Saraj-Nijrab Road project
Page 7 of 42
In the road construction site natural water courses and community water resources should
not be polluted by Diesel, Oil, Lubricant, Chemicals, etc.
In the contractor camp and workshop, the storage and usage of the water pollutants needs
more care
Separate independent arrangement for drinking and construction water requirements
should be made.
During bridge construction care should be taken to avoid water pollution of water bodies.
Prevention of obstructions to water courses and navigation
Prevention of obstruction to natural drainage
Natural Disaster: These are existing environmental problems and not associated with
construction activities. Poor land use pattern in several areas has contributed to temporary flood,
road congestions and impacts to other environmental sensitive locations. The Contractors have
been informed to be alert about the natural disaster at any time.
Mitigation measure: No sign of Natural Disaster has been observed during the reporting period.
It has been suggested to organize awareness program with the help of local Governmental
authority in particular areas to educate people regarding those problems. Local community should
assume responsibility for prevention of such problems with the assistance of relevant authorities.
Air quality, Dust generation: One of the major environmental issues identified as generation of
dust due to wind, soil excavation and movement of transport. Transportation of construction
materials and other construction activities increases dust level of air in project area. Dust causes
respiratory problem, nuisance to the road user and road side community.
Observation: it has been observed that generally the Contractor is watering using water tank but
rarely dust generated in the unpaved areas like embankment work of breast walls in KM 6+025 to
KM 6+180, demolition and removal of the existing structures from the alignment of the road and
Clearing and grubbing in KM 4+800 to KM 5+380 and base course work in KM 7+440 to KM 9+480.
Immediately the Consultants team notified to the Contractor to suppress the dust blowing in the
air by water spraying sufficiently and effectively. The contractor has immediately taken action and
it is mitigated.
Mitigation measure: It is educated to the Contractors that sprinkling of water on construction
site and roads to be undertaken regularly every few hours interval. Specially care to be taken to
minimize dust level of air near public sensitive area. Stockpiles of materials should be sited in
sheltered areas or protected by hoardings and/or tarpaulins and away from residential areas.
Construction materials should be covered during transportation. Load and unload of materials
should not be at strong wind. Works should not be carried out in high windy conditions when this
would cause nuisance.
Construction vehicles and machinery are usually kept in good working order and engines turned off
when not in use. Measures shall be taken to limit particulate exhaust emissions to air from
construction vehicles and equipment. The location of generators and other permanent equipment
Bi-annual Environmental Monitoring Report No. 9 (July to December
2015), Jabul Saraj-Nijrab Road project
Page 8 of 42
are governed by considerations of exhaust emission taking into account predominant wind
direction.
Thus, the dust pollution at all sites was visibly observed at a significant level.
Noise and Vibration: Noise creates by operation of mechanical equipment, such as electric
generators, vibrating rollers, graders and other road construction equipment, crusher plant, etc. All
types of trucks, road rollers create vibration and noise.
Observation: It was not observed that the silencers of the Drum Trucks and other vehicles were
damaged & bad conditions and created heavy noise near the sensitive areas like; schools, mosque
or market areas.
Mitigation measure: The Contractors have been educated that they will take all necessary
measures to ensure that operation of all mechanical equipment and construction processes on and
off the site shall not cause any unnecessary or excessive noise. Generators and other standing
equipment near residential area (including site offices and camps) should be silenced. When
operating close to residential, medical facilities or other similar locations, the Contractor’s hours of
working should be limited to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. As well as, it is closely monitored by Consultant.
Soil erosion and siltation: Soil erosion of embankment slope etc. is caused by rain fall during
rainy season.
Observation: Insignificant erosion and sedimentation observed at road side earthen drain.
Mitigation measure: The Contractors have been educated that all eroded soil should be removed
from the existing drainage structures, cleaning of cross drainages, treatment of clearing and filling
areas, re-vegetation of disturbed land. Environmental officer should monitor these actions
regularly.
Flora and Fauna
The contractor has not faced any Flora or Fauna
around the project site during the work execution.
No trees cut and tree plantation process has not
been done at site, because it was not the season to
plant. The tree plantation process has completed
during the previous reporting period.
Consequently, during the reporting period in the
project by the construction activities no adverse
effect or impact to flora & fauna has been
observed.
Along the alignment no such forest available and no impact of wild life also.
Public and workers safety: Personal safety equipment especially footwear, safety jackets,
helmets etc. to be supplied to workers depending on their activities.

2015), Jabul Saraj-Nijrab Road project
Page 9 of 42
Observation: Currently Contractor has provided the safety equipment but workers are not
regularly using safety equipment – as observed during inspection.
Mitigation measure: Beside the personal safety equipment the Contractor has been instructed
also to provide warning signs, speed limits and signals, provision of safety gears to workers
depending on their activity, checking of safety arrangements by the safety officers, safety training
for new employees before start work. As a result, all the workers, including new employees,
understand the advantage of the safety equipment practice and willingly use them.
Public complaints: In general all communities in the zone of influence of Road Project have given
support to the project activities. Any Complaints that have been received during construction has
been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.

3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
During the reporting period Construction Supervision Consultant under took 21 of the field
environmental monitoring inspections. The results of inspections were summarized in
environmental check-lists and monthly environmental reports. Summaries of observation about
environmental are included in the Monthly Progress reports as Environmental Compliance Charts.
The environmental issues were discussed at the site meetings, monthly meetings with PMO and
responsible representatives of the Contractor. Several warning letters and non-conformance
reports were issued to the Contractor in respect of dust abatement, erosion control improper
dumping of the materials; especially at km.2+000 to km.4+000.
This section overviews the environmental compliance of the site activities and discusses the
observed environmental impacts and mitigation.
Noncompliance notices
Some non-compliance was noticed during the reporting period (see Annex A).
3.2 Social Issues
The timely and efficient public communication is necessary prerequisite for mitigation and
prevention of social impacts resulted in the project implementation. It is especially important for
this project as construction works were suspended at the several segments of project alignment
because of unsolved Land Acquisition and Resettlement issues. The project impact resources of
local communities therefore preparation and implementation of the Land Acquisition and
Resettlement Plan addressing the needs of all affected parties is a vital for success of project. For
this purpose the experienced local NGO Afghan Bureau Collaboration Office (ABCO) was engaged in
the project. ABCO conducted numerous meetings with all stakeholders and prepares the project
documentations and reporting activities and communications.
Under the leadership of Engr. Aminullah Hatam, the Program Director of PMO, MPW, there is a
significant development to solve the LAR issue. This is the great achievement from the Employer
side during this reporting period.
LAR problem in Deh Now Gulbahar area has been resurveyed and corrective action plan has
prepared by safeguard unit of PMO and submitted for approval to ADB. The Contractor will start
the clearing and grubbing, common excavation and demolish some construction from the
alignment as soon as the APs get their compensation.
Project work will provide employment opportunities to the local people for income generation.
After completion of road, communication will be easy and business opportunities will be
developed.

4. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During the reporting period no significant environmental impacts resulted from the project
implementation activities. However there are some violations and areas of incompliance from the
side of Contractor which require attention and corrective actions; especially, the contractor camp.
The regular Environmental Monitoring inspections and control of construction activities were
undertaken by the Consultant’s staffs. Cooperation of Contractor in the prevention and mitigation
of environmental issues was very limited. Despite the frequent warnings and issued Non
Conformance report the Contractor did not employ the Environmental and Safety officer as
required by the Contract Documents.
The construction activities of the project are limited to 15m width/mostly existing R.O.W. of the
road. Environmental impact associated with construction activities can be mitigated through
mitigation measures mentioned in EPP and EMP of the Contractor. Consultant instructed the
Contractor for proper spoil disposal, prevention of soil erosion and siltation, safety of public and
workers, proper operation of borrow pits and quarries, control of dust nuisance etc. Positive impact
includes reduction of soil erosion after completion of drainage and slope protection structures.
Project road is not located within environmental sensitive areas, national park or natural forest. So,
the effect on flora, fauna and various ecological habitats is insignificant due to construction
activities. The contractor should prepare and submit trees planting plan for next spring
The main concern is lack of strict adherence to environmental protection in the contractor camp,
including inadequate storage and usage of chemicals and fuels and spoil disposal.
The contractor should considerably improve the housekeeping practices at the works places and
accommodation. The lavatories and trash bins should be set up sufficient amount at the work sites
and accommodation areas.
