ES. Sona Poghosyan, social specialist and Nona Davtyan, assistant to social specialist are
responsible for all aspects of the social issues during the construction.
II. Environmental Management
A. Environmental Safeguards Program
8. The implementation of the environmental safeguards program started in January 2013 and was in
progress during the reporting period.
9. Based on ADB comment PIU together with the consultants is revising the IEE for Hayrenik
overpass. The revised IEE will be submitted to ADB in the beginning of the next reporting period.
10. In the beginning of the reporting period PIU submitted to ADB national consultant for review the
Post-Construction Environmental Audit Checklist for Arshakunyats Street Section km 0+000 -km
1+280, Tender 1, Tranche 1 for the time period of 01.01.2015 to 26.01.2016. The final version of
Audit Checklist for Tender 1 is attached in Annex 5 of the present report.
11. Weekly environmental monitoring checklist, SEMP, monthly reports, and other registers for
Tender 2 were prepared in close collaboration with PIU ES, DESC international and local ESs.
B. ADB mission
12. An ADB mission to check compliance of SUDIP 1 Program activities to the ADB SPS (2009
safeguard requirements took place on 22 April 2016. The mission was implemented by Armine
Yedigaryan, ADB National Environmental Consultant. Ruzanna Voskanyan, the PIU’s, Edita
Vardgesyan, the DESC’s ES and Contractor’s representatives also joined the mission. The mission
7

visited construction sites at Aratshat highway, Nor Shirak and Arshakunyats roundabout section, as
well as communicated with APs from the residential houses next to the RoW. The recommendations
of the mission audit on further actions were related to the vibration and dust control, as well as it was
recommended one more time present the GRM to the public.
C. Grievance Redress Mechanism and Public Consultation
13. For feedback, concerns and complaints from the APs, a GRM, inspired by the problem solving
function of ADB’s guidelines and policies should be maintained for the duration of the Project. The
GRM is intended to assist aggrieved persons in lodging their complaints and to describe the
mechanism designed to redress their grievances in a timely and effective manner. The parties
potentially involved are: the complainants, Contractor, DESC, PIU, EA, NGOs, and the courts. The
details of the GRM operation could be found in EIA for Tender 2 road links1.
14. A proper GRM has been established to meet environmental related concerns of affected people in
Artashat Highway-New Shirak and Shirak street and Arshakunyats avenue road sections Tender 2.
The availability of the logbook and registered complains in the Contractor’s field office was regularly
checked during the monitoring site visits.
15. During this reporting period there were complaints from the affected people such as dust and
noise, which were effectively treated according to the adopted procedure. Contractor was insistently
requested to take measures to control dust and to implement mitigation measures to reduce dust
emissions during the construction process. The corrections were suggested by the PIU/DESC ES
during the monitoring visits.
16. During the reporting period complains (table 1) regarding cracks due to demolishment works,
blocked access and damaged utilities were taken which are under review (see below table) by the
Contractor’s, Supervision Engineer’s social specialists coordinated by Sirak Gyulbudaghyan - PIU
land acquisition and resettlement Specialist.
17. During the inventory survey the buildings located in the affected zone have been examined,
videotaped and photographed, as well as appropriate acts have been developed and signed with
owners/users for each building. Also the Contractor has made additional seismological surveys for
the risky buildings with involvement of licensed seismological company/specialist. The next survey
will be conducted after the completion of the construction works to access the possible damages (if

20. Regular meetings and discussions within PIU, DESC and the Contractor’s environmental team
during the reporting period took place via joint meetings, official correspondence and emails, phone
calls and personal contacts. Particularly the issue on the dust control measures; on safety on high fill
slopes; on the findings of additional measurements of environmental parameters; removal of
construction waste long-term left on-site, findings of training sessions, as well as the non-
conformances detected during the monitoring visits and action measures on their implementation
were discussed.
E. Awareness Raising and Environmental Training
21. The awareness raising and environmental orientation program was developed in the scope of
capacity building in the EIAs/IEEs and EMPs for Tender 2. According to the program the Contractor
was responsible to arrange orientation session about project activities and environmental awareness.
During this session, all the people working on the site should focus their efforts to protect environment
and insure the safe handling of the social issues during construction period in accordance with ADB
SPS (2009), Armenian environmental legislation, EIA and EMP. Further details about the awareness
raising and environmental orientation program could be found in final EIA and EMP Tender 22 and
Contractor’s SEMPs.
22. According to EIA, Annex 6 EMP for Tender 2 and SEMP the Contractor organized training for the
23 new hired staff during this reporting period on minimizing waste at source, proper handling of the
waste, workers’ safety measures during work and emergency preparedness in case of incidents, and
health risks and prevention which include information and education on sexually transmitted diseases
and HIV/AIDS. Site introduction environmental and health & safety training for the sub-contractor’s

visits.
24. Two public hearings for Hayrenik overpass under Tranche 1 held on 22 March and 29 April 2016.
Final IEE for Hayrenik overpass under Tranche 1 will be submitted to ADB in the beginning of the
next reporting period.
25. An awareness raising training session was held by Mr. Pierre Bourguignon, DESC-Egis
International Company Environmental Manager on Health & Safety (21 June 2016) and on
Environment (22 June 2016). Mr. Pierre Bourguignon explained the topics via PP Presentations:
“Health & Safety Management” and “Environmental Management”. Contractor’s and sub-contractor
key staffs including environmental, social specialists and engineers were invited (list of participants is
attached in Annex 2).
III. Environmental Monitoring
A. Environmental Monitoring Program
26. Environmental monitoring program with a view to ensure compliance with the ADB’s
environmental requirements and all applicable environmental laws, regulations and standards for
environmental protection of RA has been developed in the scope of IEEs/EIAs and EMPs for Tender
2. The EIAs and EMPs contain monitoring activities to be considered during project implementation:
management from the engineering design phase, preconstruction, construction through the operation
and maintenance periods. Details of monitoring activities and reporting are presented in approved
final EIAs and EMPs for Tender 23.
B. Environmental Monitoring Program

28. During the reporting period construction site monitoring visits (see Annex 7: Example of weekly
environmental monitoring checklist) and dump site monitoring visits organized jointly with PIU,
Contractor’s and DESC’s ESs, RE and other responsible representatives of the Contractor
participated in some of the monitoring visits.
29. The excavation materials are located in the dump site area of “X-Y’’ LLC basalt mining company
in Shahumyan 2, Silikyan district. Series of site visits were undertaken to the dump site “X-Y” LLC to
check compliance with EMP/ SEMP and Engineer’s requirements, as well as to check whether the
instructions given during the previous visit were done by the Contractor. The last site visit
implemented on 23 June 2016 stated that the site was used in accordance with EMP/SEMP and the
Engineer’s/PIUs instructions.
30. “Lernametalurgiayi Institute”, the company contracted by general contractor for environmental
measurements, carried out regular environmental monitoring of dust, air quality, noise and vibration
on 22.01.2016, 15.02.2016, 15.03.2016, 15.04.2016, 29.04.2016, 13.05.2016, 30.05.2016,
10.06.2016 and 22.06.2016 (see Annex 7). Selection of measurement points varied by taking into
consideration the impacted sensitive receptors within 50 m and ongoing construction works criteria. In
those cases when contractor timely notified Engineer on the measurements date, the points were
agreed jointly. Otherwise the measurement points were selected under the supervision of contractor’s
ES. In order to ensure the smooth process Engineer requested from contractor timely notification of
the date of measurements.
31. According to the provided reports of sub- contractor Lernametallurgie on 10 June the vibration
levels in measurement points 1, 2 and 3 is below from both the baseline level and the Maximum
Permissible Values. In the points 4 and 5 both maximum and average values exceed the baseline
level but are within permitted legislative standards. According to the provided reports for
measurements implemented on 22 June the vibration level in all measurement points was below from
both Maximum Permissible Level and the baseline data.
32. Based on the ADB requirement Contractor signed an additional contract with the sub- contractor
Lernametallurgie for additional measurements in one point relevant to AP's complains (see table 1,
point 5). The measurements were implemented on 17, 20, 21 and 22 June at 9:30 am and 11:00 am.
The time of measurements was determined based on the principle of operation of vibration
generating machinery. According to the provided reports vibration acceleration slightly exceeded both
Maximum Permissible and the baseline level only on 17 June at 11:00. All other measurements
showed that measurement hour for maximum and average values the vibration level was below the
baseline level and far below the Maximum Permissible standard.

33. Detailed information on the results of regular monitoring measurements is presented in the Noise
and Dust Assessment Reports available in “Vahagn & Samvel” LTD office and attached to the
Contractor’s monthly progress reports and measurements are summarized in Annex 6 of the present
report.
34. By the Site Instruction issued on 6 June 2016 Contractor was instructed to implement the Method
of Fill-Up in Middle of Grade Separated Roundabout and to provide safety measures on high slopes
and at high Retaining Walls. Contractor was instructed to remove large loose stones and dress
slopes smoothly to avoid any falling-down or rolling of material.
35. By the end of reporting period Contractor started using the second water truck on- site and
implemented more frequent watering. The site visits and measurements show that the dust control
can be considered as almost satisfactory.
C. Non-compliance Notices
36. A final warning and note by the email dated 2 June 2016 was sent by PIU directly to the
Contractor requesting implementation of proper watering on- site otherwise the civil works shall be
stopped. Also by the email sent on 6 June 2016 by PIU the Contractor was requested to use the
second water truck and implement more frequent watering of the site during the day in order to
minimize the further complaints concerning dust. The last site visit stated that the warning was
addressed and Contractor is using the second water truck on- site and implements frequent watering
of sites close to residential areas.
37. All further non- conformances detected during the monitoring visits have been treated according
to the adopted procedure: Contractor is being requested via the Engineer’s monitoring report to
correct the non- conformances within the deadline set for correction otherwise the non- compliance
notice shall be issued. Correction was checked during the next site visit.
D. Corrective Action Plans
38. During the reporting period construction site monitoring visits were held by DESC once a week
and by PIU ES on 21.01.2016, 16.02.2016, 16.02.2016, 19.02.2016, 12.03.2016, 22.04.2016,
26.05.2016 and 23.06.2016 in Artashat-New Shirak highway Tender 2 (See Annex 4: Status of the
previous weekly environmental site monitoring reports). Dump site monitoring visits were organized
by PIU and DESC’s national and international ESs on 23.06.2016.
39. Corrective action plans were developed to address each non-conformance found during
monitoring (see Annex 3: Corrective action plan for Tender 2).

IV. Findings and Recommendations
40. The monitoring visits implemented by PIU/ Engineer during the reporting period concluded in the
following findings. The recommendations are done also taking into consideration the findings of ADB
mission held on 22 April 2016.
- Dust: Dust level is too high close to sensitive receptors and should be reduced to comply with
legislative standards. Contractor was strongly recommended to operated more water trucks and
implement more frequent watering of the sites (now partly corrected);
- Vibration: Although Contractor always reported on the vibration level within the legislative standards
he was requested to follow ADB recommendations and implement additional measurements,
- Awareness of APs on the GRM is poor. Contractor was recommended once again to present the
GRM presented to the public and attached the contact information around the construction site (now
corrected).
- Bridges: Safety of Sub- contractor Kamurdjshin working on height is not assured. The necessary
PPE particularly the belts or harnesses are missing. Safety of workers next to welding works is not
ensured. Workers are doing the electrical cutting without proper PPE. Smoking workers are detected
very close to the explosive balloons. Sub- contractor is doing improper lifting of materials and is using
unsafe electrical panels and unsafe plugs. Protective guardrails on the bridges and safe staircases
are missing. Sub- contractor was recommended to correct the situation immediately.
- Arshakunyats Roundabout and Nor Shirak: Contractor's workers on the wall structures poor. Safe
accesses to work site are not ensured. More trainings on safety for management staff both Contractor
and sub-contractor is needed since safety of the site is very poor. Contractor was recommended to
correct the situation immediately (now corrected);.
-waste and dismantled utilities are being repeatedly detected on-site (partly corrected);
- workers are provided with and are using the uniform, applicable safety/protection equipment for site
conditions (mostly corrected);
- health check of newly hired workers is needed (corrected);
- bins for garbage collection are installed but Contractor is requested to move the bins and install next
to on-going construction works (corrected);
- cleaning and proper organization of contractor’s camp area is needed (partly corrected); all the open
holes alongside the asphalt covered section of Artashat highway should be safely covered (at least
temporarily) and/or fenced to ensure safety off APs and workers. Also night time illumination is
needed (partly corrected);
- mud spread preventive measures were needed (not corrected).

This form, or an adaptation of it, should be used during routine (preferably weekly) site inspections by the PIU environmental specialist/unit or
representative (Supervision Consultant) to monitor implementation of the EMP for a construction project.
Routine site inspections should cover all current/relevant construction activities being implemented on the project site at the time of inspection. Ideally,
the Co tra tor’s e viro e tal a ager/fo al poi t should a o pa y the PIU e viro e tal spe ialist or represe tative duri g routine inspections. Once
completed, the form should be sent to the Contractor for his information and action including any photographs. A copy of the completed form is retained in
the data management system of the PIU for reference during subsequent site inspections and for referral during preparation of monitoring reports.
Column 1 Construction Activity – All current/relevant construction activities taking place on the project site for which mitigation measures are required
under the EMP/SEMP, are listed.
48
48
Column 2 Mitigation Measure – Specific mitigation measures required under the EMP/SEMP for the corresponding construction activity are listed.
Column 4 Corrective Action Request – Where the inspection identifies non-compliance or ineffective implementation of a mitigation measure, specific
corrective actions are identified, discussed and agreed with the Contractor including a deadline for effective corrective action.
Column 5 Resolution Status of Previous CARs – Each subsequent site inspection involves review of the resolution status of previous CARs. This is useful in
assessing the responsiveness of the Contractor to environmental non compliances and where necessary provides the basis for determining when a
contractual non-compliance penalty may need to be invoked (eg persistent noncompliance / no response to CAR).
