I. INTRODUCTION

1. Tranche 1 of the Aimag and Soum Development Investment Program (ASDIP) is located in the three western Aimags of Uvs, Bayan-Ulgii, and Khovd of Mongolia. The environmental management plan (EMP) reported herein was prepared for the project areas in Bayan-Ulgii Aimag which are located Ulgii – the Aimag center, and the soum centers of Deluun Buyant. The two EMPs for the project areas in Bayan-Ulgii Aimag and Khovd Aimag were prepared separately. 2. The EMP will guide the implementation of the urban infrastructure and agribusiness components of Tranche 1 of ASDIP in Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums through the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction operation phases to ensure that unnecessary environmental and social impacts identified in the separate IEE do not occur, and to also measure and document any unexpected impacts of the project components. 3. The EMP provided here will guide contractors to develop their contractor EMPs (CEMP) for their construction package bidding documents. Similar to the EMPs of the other two Aimags, the EMP of the feasibility designs of Tranche 1 in Bayan-Ulgii Aimag is decidedly comprehensive and developed as a stand-alone management tool that will be updated during the later detailed design stage of Tranche 1. A. Overview of ASDIP

4. Tranche 1 of the ASDIP will promote local economic development and improve basic urban services in priority Aimags of Mongolia1. The program will support the government in establishing inclusive, green urban development, resilient rangeland management, and sustainable agribusiness values chains in three select Aimags. For each Aimag the ASDIP will comprise a sequenced set of green urban and rural infrastructure developments, and agribusiness investments, which are supported by implementation mechanisms, policy actions, and capacity building support. The ASDIP investments will reduce the vulnerability of the country to climate change and further pastureland degradation. 5. The multisector ASDIP will invest in the three selected Aimag centers and four soum centers in the following two major component areas:

(i) basic urban infrastructure, services, and facilities; and (ii) agribusiness facility developments including improved pastureland management.

6. Table 1 summarizes the planned investments for Tranche 1 in Ulgii which is the Bayan-Ulgii Aimag center, and the soum centers of Deluun and Buyant. The urban infrastructure investments will occur primarily inside the Aimag and soum centers, whereas the agribusiness investments will occur outside but near the Aimag and soum centers. The new agribusiness facility investments will also be supported with infrastructure.

1 An aimag is an administrative subdivision equivalent to province in Mongolia. There are 21 aimags and aimag centers.

A soum is an administrative subunit of an aimag, and its center is called a soum center. There are 304 soums in Mongolia (not including Aimag centers). Soums have average populations of 4,000 and cover an average land are of 5,000 square kilometers.

1. Assessment Context

7. The ASDIP is category B for environment pursuant to ADB’s 2009 Safeguard Policy Statement and supporting good practice sourcebook (2012). The EIA Department of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) is expected to require that a detailed environmental impact assessment (DEIA) of Tranche 1 of the ASDIP be prepared which MET will specify with the conclusions of the General Environmental Impact Assessment (GEIA) that they will prepare for Tranche 1.

II. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

A. Project level

8. The institutional arrangements for ASDIP for all Aimags of the ASDIP are illustrated in Figure 1 and summarized below. A Steering Committee (SC), chaired by MOF and including representative of MCUD, MOFALI, MET, Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM), and targeted aimag governments will be established to oversee project implementation, provide strategic and policy guidance, and inter Ministry and agencies coordination. An Executive Working Group (EWG) including the MCUD, MOFALI, DBM, and the aimag governments will be established to directly supervise and monitor the implementation of the project. The project executing agency (EA) will be the MCUD representing the Government of Mongolia for project implementation oversight. The EA will report directly the EWG and SC. A program management office (PMO) will be established under MCUD with the head of ALAMGac as the PMO director. The PMO will be organized into three departments managed by three deputy coordinators: (i) for urban and land development reporting to the PMO director and liaising with MCUD; (ii) for rangeland management and agricultural component, reporting to PMO director and liaising with MOFALI; and (iii) for procurement, finance, safeguard and due diligence reporting to PMO director. A program implementation unit (PIU) for managing the FIL component of the project will be established by AMC-DBM under the supervision of DBM and will liaise and coordinate with PMO director and coordinator.

1. Aimag level

9. At the Aimag level an Aimag Project Office (APO) will be established, and an Inter-Soum Implementation Office (IPO) in each inter-soum targeted by the project. Each will have urban development, rangeland management, agri-business, and safeguard and due diligence team. Each APO will be managed by APO coordinator and report to the PMO director and coordinator and will liaise and coordinate with Aimag Governor’s Office. A local Agri-Business Council, comprising of representatives of associations or federations for production of meat, wool and cashmere, skin and hide products, and Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI), herders organizations, and cooperatives, will be established to provide economic and value chain development guidance and support to the EWG and PMO. In each soum targeted by the project, an Inter-soum Project Implementation Unit (IPIU) will be established, and will have urban development, rangeland management, and agri-business team. The IPIUs will be managed by a coordinator who will report to and liaise with Soum Governor’s Office.

2. Environmental management of separate FIL component

10. The program implementation unit (PIU) to be established by the Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM) for the parallel FIL component of the project (Figure 1) will manage the implementation of the separate EMPs that will be developed by the FIs for private sector investments in the Green Investment Regional Agribusiness Fund (GIRAF). The EMPs prepared by the FIs will developed from and be guided by the separate Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) that has been prepared for the FIL component to meet the requirements of the SPS (2009) and EIA requirements the MON government.

B. Bayan-Ulgii Aimag

11. The primary management framework responsible for the implementation of the EMP for Tranche 1 in Bayan-Ulgi Aimag is summarized as follows. The MCUD as project EA will take overall responsibility for successful implementation of the EMP in the Aimag center of Ulgii and the soum centers of Deluun and Buyant with higher level decision support provided when necessary from the EWG or perhaps SC. Within the UB-based PMO, the Deputy Coordinator #3 for the Safeguard, Due Diligence, Procurement and Finance Department (Figure 1) will assign an environment safeguard officer (ESO) who will work alongside an assigned social safeguard officer. The ESO will ensure that the Bayan-Ulgii EMP is implemented successfully. The ESO will work closely with the Aimag Coordinator at the Bayan-Ulgii APO in Ulgii who will assign an environment safeguard officer (SO) to the safeguard and due diligence team at the APO. With support from the ESO, the SO will work at the project sites to ensure the EMP is implemented satisfactorily in Ulgii, and in Deluun and Buyant soums. The SO in turn will work closely with and guide the Deluun and Buyant project implementation units (IPIU) with the implementation of the EMP. With support from the ESO, the SO will direct and monitor the construction contractors as they implement their contractor EMPs (CEMP). The contactors will develop specific CEMPs in their bidding documents from the EMP which will be included in the tender documents for the different construction packages for the Bayan-Ulgii subprojects.

12. The SO with assistance from the ESO and PISC (below) will be responsible for day-to-day management of the successful completion of the EMP in Ulgii, and in Deluun and Buyant soums. An EIA licensed Mongolian Firm will be retained to conduct all environmental monitoring and analyses for Ulgii, Deluun, and Buyant that are specified by the Monitoring Plan of the EMP.

13. Support for implementation of the EMP by the ESO and SO will be provided by the international environment specialist (IES) of the Project Implementation and Supervision Consultant team (PISC) hired to oversee the detailed design and implementation of Tranche 1 of ASDIP, along with the safeguard officer of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The construction package contractors will be responsible for implementing the EMP with their own contractor EMPs (CEMP) that they develop from the Uvs EMP as part of their bid documents. Major and minor responsibilities of institutions and personnel for environmental management of Tranche 1 are further defined below and summarized in Table 2.

14. The MCUD being EA and project owner has ultimate responsible for ensuring successful completion of the EMP for the Bayan-Ulgii Aimag, and for interacting with the MET and ADB as necessary. 15. The Steering Committee (SC) with support from the Executive Working Group (EWG) is responsible for: (i) resolving any environmental management matters that require action from senior management; and (ii) ensuring allocation and timely disbursement of adequate resources for EMP implementation including the environmental monitoring plan of the EMP. The SC/EWG through ESO and SO will also facilitate the necessary inputs and/or assistance from the affected communities and private sector in Ulgii, or Deluun and Buyant soums to meet environmental safeguard obligations, and to ensure collaboration with communities in consultations and information disclosure, environmental monitoring, and with implementation/observance of the grievance redress mechanism (GRM). 16. The Coordinator of Bayan-Ulgii Aimag with support from the SO will be responsible for undertaking and managing day-to-day activities of the Bayan-Ulgii EMP. The SO with assistance from the IES/PISC shall coordinate and supervise EMP implementation, including but not limited to: (a) update the EMP after detail project design; (b) oversee incorporation of EMP recommendations into the contractor design/bid documents, and ensure procurement of environmentally responsible contractors; (c) ensure that government DEIA prepared for the MET as applied to Bayan-Ulgii Aimag is approved prior to the awarding of civil works contracts; (d) facilitate as necessary the acquisition of any supplemental baseline environmental data (e.g., ambient air, surface and groundwater quality, noise, traffic issues) in affected areas of Ulgii and Deluun; (e) confirm and coordinate grievance redress mechanism (GRM); (f) review and clear CEMPs of the selected Contractors; (g) monitor contractors to ensure adherence to the EMP; (h) prepare monthly reports on EMP implementation for the PMO which form part of the PMO’s annual environmental monitoring reports4 (EMR) to the ADB; (i) conduct consultation meetings with local stakeholders as required, informing them of imminent construction works, and updating stakeholders on latest project development activities, GRM, etc.; and (j) support training conducted by international environmental specialist (IES) of Project Implementation and Supervision Consultant (PISC) (see below), EMP compliance reviews, annual reporting, etc. 17. Contractors will develop, implement, and (internally) monitor implementation of their Contractor EMPs (CEMP) which will be fully responsive to the EMP, and also comply with the clauses that the PMO establishes in bidding documents such as: (a) the list of environmental

when requested review EMRs and results of environmental monitoring by Contractors reports which will be available at community centers at Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums, and (e) ensure necessary corrective actions are taken for reported environmental/social exceedances that are confirmed as being caused by Contractor negligence. The available monitoring information, the GRM, and general participation of the affected communities identified above will result in the direct involvement of the community with contractor performance. 19. A licensed EIA Firm will be engaged to conduct any required supplemental baseline data collection prior to start of construction phase, and quarterly environmental monitoring during construction and operation phases following the Monitoring Plan of the EMP (Table 4). The EIA Firm will comply with Mongolian Quality Assurance/Control procedures and regulations for sampling and monitoring of environmental media and will assess compliance with Mongolian environmental quality standards for ambient air, water and noise quality. The EIA firm will submit quarterly environmental impact monitoring reports to the PMO in Ulaanbaatar. 20. The International Environment Specialist (IES) of Project Implementation and Supervision Consultant (PISC), with support from the ESO and SO is responsible for providing technical advice, guidance, and “hands-on training” to the EWG and EA for EMP implementation of Tranche 1. The IES-PISC will support the ESO/SO and EA with (a) detailed design and project preparation; (b) training, (c) (c) assistance with EMP compliance monitoring; (d) assistance to PMO with preparation of annual EMRs for ADB; (e) identifying environment-related implementation issues and necessary corrective actions; and (f) undertaking site visits as required. 21. Asian Development Bank (ADB) is responsible for reviewing relevant documents for clearance purposes, and conducting periodic review missions to review, amongst other things, the environmental aspects of Tranche 1. For example, review and clearance will be required for the updated EMP at detailed design phase of Tranche 1, and for subsequent annual EMRs during implementation phase of Tranche 1.

III. SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS

22. The significant impacts of the Tranche 1 of ASDIP in Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums are positive which will arise from: (a) significant increases in the standard of living of the affected communities which will be caused from the major improvements to the diverse array of urban infrastructure and services; and (b) the modern agribusiness developments. The agribusiness developments will; (i) increase the quality of meat and vegetable production enabling access to previously inaccessible lucrative international markets thereby strengthening agricultural livelihoods and incomes; (ii) ultimately reduce the number of livestock which will reduce livestock overgrazing leading to pastureland restoration; and (iii) from (ii) significantly reduce the carbon emission (CO2, CH4, NOX) footprints of the affected project areas. 23. The potentially negative impacts of Tranche 1 that are addressed by the EMP are summarized in Table 3. These impacts focus on: (i) short-term disturbances and impacts caused from the civil works activities of the construction phase of the different project components; and (ii) potential water shortages caused from planned expansion of potable water supplies, water consumption by Agropark facilities such as meat processing facilities; and (iii) increased air pollution from likely increased emissions from the existing coal-fired heating plant in Ulgii arising from expanded hot water supply. The short-term construction disturbances and impacts, and the potential water shortages and air, water, and soil pollution will be managed and mitigated with Mitigation and Monitoring Plans provided below.

Construction Phase Demolition and disposal of traditional ger houses and site remediation:

The partial or complete demolition of khasha homesteads in Bag 13 and optional Bag 5 will not produce toxic materials because the traditional ger houses and wooden buildings do not contain toxic materials such as asbestos. Family pit latrines will be destroyed and filled in with soil following ongoing procedures of the ADB On-site Sanitation Project in UB. Soil near pit latrines will be spray-disinfected with a bactericide.

Upgraded and expanded underground utility trunk lines (potable water, hot water, wastewater) above utilities (electricity, communications), upgraded and new roads, drainage, new water canals, rehabilitated riverbanks, and new and rehabilitated buildings (modern ger apartments, WWTPs, WTPs, meat processing facilities, laboratories, schools, hospitals, community centers, and clean-up and fencing of dumpsites:

Common disturbances and impacts from civil works are defined by (i) reduced and/or blocked public access and pedestrian movement, (ii) disrupted business and recreation, (iii) noise, dust and air pollution caused by increased truck traffic and equipment use, (iv) soil and surface water pollution caused by equipment operation and maintenance and soil erosion, (v) public and worker accidents, (vi) disruption of traffic and increased traffic accidents, (vii) solid and domestic waste from temporary worker camps, (viii) social issues and community problems caused by migrant workers, (ix) potential disturbance to cultural property and values, schools, hospitals, and community centers.

Disruption of utility services: The extensive rehabilitation and expansion of infrastructure and utilities in the Ulgii and Deluun

soum center will undoubtedly cause periods of utility outages for residents and businesses. Where possible temporary auxiliary or alternate utility service will be supplied to minimize the disruptions to the community.

Quarries and borrow pits:

Existing local borrow pits and quarries approved by Bayan-Ulgii Aimag Department of Environment (DoE) will be used. This requirement will be included in construction package tender documents including provisions that no new pit or quarry will be created, and, no new lands will be disturbed, and only proper and safe site restoration is needed after the pits and quarries are used.

9

Batch concrete and asphalt plants: Temporary batch plants for asphalt and concrete may be used for the infrastructure works in the

urban areas. Batch plants potentially act as point sources of environmental and aesthetic pollution for the affected sites and local community. The issues arise from potential wind and water erosion (dust and sedimentation) from stockpiles of the raw materials of sands and other aggregates, chronic noise and public safety risks from batch processing and heavy truck traffic to/from the plants. Improper handling and storage of raw materials can also cause soil and surface water pollution from the curing chemicals in cement and hydrocarbons from (e.g., oil and thinners) for asphalt.

Best practice methods must be conducted to manage the creation, operation, and ultimate decommissioning of temporary batch plants. The contractor must follow best practice method stipulated by the World Bank (IFC) EHS Guidelines for 1) Cement and Lime Manufacturing, 2) Construction Material Extraction; and 3) Retail Petroleum Networks. The recent USEPA (2014) Code of practice Concrete batch processing can also be consulted.

Potential disrupted domestic water supplies The ongoing practice of manual transport of bottled water from local kiosks to home in Ulgii and

Deluun soum for domestic use could easily become disrupted from construction activities. Ulgii Improvements to southern section of Khovd river embankment for flood control:

A 1.25km section of Khovd river embankment along north edge of Bag 5 will be upgraded to prevent seasonal flooding of Ulgii from spring highwater flows. Extra care must be taken to ensure that berms and / or silt curtains are placed between the riverbank works areas and the river to prevent soil erosion and siltation of the river.

Ulgii and Deluun soum center Dumpsite rehabilitation:

Tranche 1 will conduct a detailed needs assessment of solid waste management including operation of both dumpsites at Ulgii and Deluun soum and an assessment of the water table depth and groundwater quality. The dumpsites will also be cleaned and fenced to contain and prevent the continuation of solid waste wind-blow across land. Assessment of the depth of the water table and groundwater quality at both dumpsites is important to ensure that groundwater is not being contaminated by the garbage in existing dumpsites.

Operation Phase Planned expansion of central hot water heating in Ulgii could lead to increased air pollution because the heating plant will not be upgraded by Tranche 1, and current emissions of plant do not meet national or international standards (i.e., IFC-EHS, WHO 2007). Planned increased extraction of groundwater for expanded potable water supplies, and new extractions of groundwater and surface water for the meat processing facilities and irrigation schemes could create water shortages for those project components, and for other “downstream” users in Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums soum. The feasibility estimates of the water requirements of the various project components, and in particular, sustainable local water resource availability must be confirmed at detailed design stage. Monitoring of effluent quality and water quality of receiving waters is required for planned and new WTTP in Ulgii. The same monitoring is required for new wastewater collection and treatment planned for Deluun soum and the Agropark facilities in Ulgii and Deluun such as meat processing facilities to confirm that planned wastewater treatment at the new WWTPs actually meets targeted international standards (i.e., IFC-EHS 2007).

Water quality monitoring of surface waters downstream of the irrigated fodder/hay farms near Ulgii and Buyant and Deluun soums is required to confirm that the specially designed peripheral, treed swales/ditches of the irrigation schemes that are designed to capture and contain irrigation runoff are effective at preventing runoff from the fertilized fields from entering downstream surface waters.

IV. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

25. The stakeholder consultation program developed for the Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums began with the consultation with affected stakeholders in both locations on the feasibility design of Tranche 1 (see chapter V of IEE). The second step will be to disclose the draft IEE to the same affected stakeholders to obtain their review and comment. Information disclosure and consultation of affected stakeholders will continue during the pre-construction phase, throughout the construction phase via the GRM (chapter G of IEE), and will continue into the operation phase of Tranche 1.

26. A key element of the successful consultation and meaningful input of stakeholders affected by Tranche 1 of the project will be monitoring of the efficacy of the engagement of project stakeholders. During the pre-construction, detailed design phase the stakeholder engagement plan will be finalized by the PISC with close input from the EA (MCUD). Throughout the construction phase of the project stakeholder engagement along with implementation of the GRM will be monitored by the PISC with support from the PMO in Ulaanbaatar, and the three Aimag PMOs. During the operational phase of completed Tranche 1 The MCUD and DBM with support from the three Aimag governments will take responsibility for monitoring the continued engagement and consultation with the affected urban and herder communities.

V. MITIGATION PLAN 27. The impact mitigation measures of the EMP are presented in a comprehensive mitigation plan in Table 4. Similar to the IEE the mitigation plan is structured by the three development phases of ASDIP defined by pre-construction; construction; and post construction operational phases. The mitigation plan addresses the environmental issues and concerns raised at the stakeholder consultation meetings. 28. The mitigation plan combines construction phase impacts that are common to project components, for which, single mitigation measures are prescribed. In this way common mitigation measures are not re-stated numerous times causing unwieldy and unnecessary redundancy. However, impacts and required mitigations that are specific to a project component are identified, and common mitigations that are particularly important for a potential impact on an environmental or cultural component are emphasized where needed. 29. The mitigation plan identifies potential impacts, required mitigations, responsible parties, location, timing, and indicative costs. As indicated in the description of the Institutional Arrangements for the EMP above, the PMO-ALAMGac is responsible for the environmental management of the public infrastructure investments with support from MOFALI on the environmental management of the public agribusiness and pastureland investments. The PIU-DBM will oversee the management of all private sector investments in agribusiness components either directly or through the Xac Bank and Khan Bank FIs. The mitigation plan by design is comprehensive in order for the plan to be updated easily to meet the final detailed designs of Tranche 1 in Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums.

VI. MONITORING PLAN

30. The environmental monitoring plan for the Bayan-Ulgii Aimag EMP is provided in Table 5. The monitoring plan is structured by the three development phases (pre-construction, construction, post-construction operation) of Tranche 1 and consists of environmental indicators, sampling locations and frequency, method of data collection, responsible parties, and estimated costs. The purpose of the monitoring plan is to determine the effectiveness of the impact mitigations, and at the same time, document unexpected positive or negative environmental impacts of the project components. Environmental monitoring will be conducted at sites sampled for the environmental baseline of Tranche 1 project areas. A. Environmental Quality Standards for Tranche 1 of ASDIP

31. Environmental quality standards and criteria for Mongolia are listed in Appendix A. The environmental standards provided by the Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines of the IFC/World Bank (2007) should also be consulted to supplement GOM standards if required. The most stringent standards apply. 32. The licensed EIA firm will be required to implement the environmental monitoring under the supervision and coordination of the PMO/APO/PISC. The EIA firm will be responsible for the sampling and laboratory analysis of environmental parameters. The PMO and PISC-IES will coordinate monitoring work with the EIA Firm. The APO/PISC will also provide logistical support to the EIA firm where necessary for the implementation of environmental monitoring plan. B. Performance Monitoring

33. Performance monitoring is required to assess the overall effectiveness of the EMP. A performance monitoring system is normally developed by the EA (MCUD) for the entire Project. Select environmental indicators that will be affected primarily by the construction and operation phases of Tranche 1 are drawn from the mitigation and monitoring plans and summarized in Table 6. C. Reporting

34. Regular reporting on the implementation of mitigation measures, and monitoring activities during construction phase of Tranche 1 is required. Reporting is the responsibility the PMO-PISC with input from the APO and should be conducted in conjunction with regular meetings with stakeholders as part of the continuation of stakeholder communications. The mitigation and monitoring plans (Tables 4 and 5) summarize proposed timing of reporting. Appendix B provides an indicative monitoring report. 35. Annual reports on environmental monitoring and implementation of the Bayan-Ulgii Aimag EMP for Ulgii, and Deluun and Buyant soums will be prepared for the MCUD by the PMO with assistance from the IES-PISC and APOs.. The EMR will compile the monthly reports provided by contractor(s), the reports of the EIA firm on monitoring, and input from the IES of the PISC. The PMO’s report will be sent to the DoE, MET and ADB, and will table all indicators measured with the monitoring plan of EMP including performance monitoring indicators (Table 6) and will reference relevant MET environmental quality standards.

36 Example Monitoring Report in Appendix B. 37 Contractor Environmental Management Plan developed from EMP in contractor bidding document. D. Estimated Cost of EMP

36. The costs for implementing the EMP are dominated by the completion of the hydrogeological baseline of available groundwater and surface water required for the agribusiness components (Table 5). The costs for implementing impact mitigation measures (Table 4) are included with the construction costs in contractor bid documents. The preliminary costs for the implementation of the EMP for Tranche 1 of ASDIP of USD $17,100.00.00 are summarized in Table 7. These costs include per diem technician fees, and a budget for training and capacity development of the PMO and EA. 37. An estimated budget of USD $7,000.00 is required for capacity building and training for environmental management in conjunction with other capacity development activities of the project such as occurring as part of overall the capacity development component of the PPTA. The costs to implement the EMP will need to be updated by the PISC in conjunction with the PMO during the pre-construction phase.

APPENDIX C: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

Emergency Response Plan

39. The Contractors must develop emergency or incident response procedures during construction. In the operational phase the operator/civil authorities will have responsibility for any emergencies or serious incidents. The construction phase must ensure:

i) Emergency Response Team (ERT) of the Contractor as initial responder; ii) the District fire and police departments, emergency medical service, the Department

of Health (DPH), collectively referred to as the External Emergency Response Team (EERT), as ultimate responders.

40. The Contractor will provide and sustain the required technical, human and financial resources for quick response during construction.

Table 8: Roles and Responsibilities in Emergency Incident Response

Entity Responsibilities

Contractor Team (ERT) - Communicates / alerts the EERT. - Prepares the emergency site to facilitate the

response action of the EERT, e.g., vacating, clearing, restricting site.

- When necessary and requested by the EERT, lends support / helps during EERT’s response operations.

External Emergency Response Team (EERT)

- Solves the emergency/incident

Contractor Resources - Provide and sustain the people, equipment, tools and funds necessary to ensure Subproject’s quick response to emergency situations.

- Maintain good communication lines with the EERT to ensure prompt help response and adequate protection, by keeping them informed of Subproject progress.

41. The ERT will be led by the senior Contractor engineer (designated ERTL) on site with a suitably trained foreman or junior engineer as deputy. Trained first-aiders and security crew will be the core members of the ERT. 42. The Contractor will ensure that ERT members are physically, technically and psychologically fit for their emergency response roles and responsibilities. 43. Prior to the mobilization of civil works, the Contractor, through its Construction Manager, ERTL, in coordination with the PMU/ESS, will meet with the ultimate response institutions to discuss the overall construction process, including, but not limited to:

i) Subproject sites; ii) construction time frame and phasing; iii) any special construction techniques and equipment that will be used; i

47

iv) any hazardous materials that will be brought to and stored in the construction premise and details on their applications and handling/management system;

v) the Contractor’s Emergency Management Plan vi) names and contact details of the ERT members

44. The objective of this meeting is to provide the ultimate response institutions the context for:

i) their comments on the adequacy of the respective Emergency Management Plans ii) their own assessment of what types, likely magnitude and likely incidence rate of potential

hazards are anticipated iii) the arrangements for coordination and collaboration.

45. To ensure effective emergency response, prior to mobilization of civil works, the Contractor will:

i) set up the ERT; ii) set up all support equipment and facilities in working condition iii) made arrangements with the EERT; iv) conducted proper training of ERT members and encouraged and trained volunteers

from the work force; v) conducted orientation to all construction workers on the emergency response procedures and facilities, particularly evacuation procedures, evacuation routes, evacuation assembly points, and self-first response, among others; and vi) conducted drills for different possible situations.

46. To sustain effective emergency response throughout Subproject implementation an adequate budget shall be provided to sustain the capabilities and efficiency of the emergency response mechanism, the emergency response equipment, tools, facilities and supplies. Drills and reminders will take place regularly, the former at least every two months and the latter at least every month.

A. Alert Procedures

47. Means of communicating, reporting and alerting an emergency situation may be any combination of the following: i) audible alarm (siren, bell or gong); ii) visual alarm (blinking/rotating red light or orange safety flag); iii) telephone (landline); iv) mobile phone; v) two-way radio; and vi) public address system/loud speakers. Some rules relative to communicating/alerting will be:

(i) Whoever detects an emergency first shall immediately: - call the attention of other people in the emergency site, - sound the nearest alarm, and/or - report/communicate the emergency to the ERT.

(ii) Only the ERTL and, if ERTL is not available, the Deputy ERTL are authorized to communicate with the EERT. Exceptional cases to this rule may be necessary and must be defined in the Emergency Management Plans.

(iii) When communicating/alerting an emergency to the EERT, it is important to provide them with at least: i) the type of emergency situation; ii) correct location of the emergency; ii) estimated magnitude of the situation; iii) estimated persons harmed; iv) time it happened; v) in case of a spill, which hazardous substance spilled; and vi) in case of fire and explosion, what caused it. Such details would allow the EERT to prepare for the appropriate response actions.

48

48. For an effective reporting/alerting of an emergency situation:

(i) The names and contact details of the relevant persons and institutions must be readily available in, or near to, all forms of communication equipment, and strategically posted (at legible size) in all Subproject sites and vehicles:

- Most relevant construction/operations staffs namely, the ERTL, Deputy ERTL, first-aiders, supervising engineers, foremen

- EERT institutions/organizations - Concerned village authority/ies - IU Office, SO (ii) All Subproject sites must have good access to any combination of audible

and visual alarms, landline phones, mobile phones and two-way radio communication at all times.

(iii) Contractor’s construction vehicles must also be equipped with the appropriate communication facilities.

B. Emergency Response Situations

49. The following tables suggest general procedures that will be refined in the final EMP during detailed design and described in more detail in the Emergency Management Plans of the Contractor.

Table 9. Evacuation Procedure

Procedure Remarks Move out as quickly as possible as a

group but avoid panic. All workers/staff, sub-contractors, site

visitors to move out, guided by the ERT. Evacuate through the directed

evacuation route. The safe evacuation shall have been

determined fast by the ERTL/Deputy ERTL and immediately communicated to ERT members.

Keep moving until everyone is safely away from the emergency site and its influence area.

A restricted area must be established outside the emergency site, all to stay beyond the restricted area.

Once outside, conduct head counts. Foremen to do head counts of their sub-groups; ERTL/Deputy ERTL of the ERT.

Report missing persons to EERT immediately.

ERTL/Deputy ERTL to communicate with the EERT.

Assist the injured in evacuation and hand them over to the ERT first-aiders or EERT medical group

ERT to manage injured persons to ensure proper handling.

If injury warrants special care, DO NOT MOVE them, unless necessary and instructed/directed by the EERT.

ERTL/Deputy ERTL communicates with EERT to get instructions/directions in handling the injured.

49

Table 10: Response Procedure During Medical Emergency

Procedure Remarks Administer First Aid regardless of

severity immediately.

Fundamentals when giving First Aid: Safety first of both the rescuer and the

victim. Do not move an injured person unless: victim is exposed to more danger when

left where they are, e.g., during fire, chemical spill

it would be impossible for EERT to aid victims in their locations, e.g., under a collapsed structure

instructed or directed by the EERT. First AID to be conducted only by a

person who has been properly trained in giving First Aid.

Call the EERT emergency medical services and/or nearest hospital.

ERTL/Deputy ERTL or authorized on-site emergency communicator

Facilitate leading the EERT to the emergency site.

ERTL/Deputy ERTL to instruct: an ERT member onsite to meet EERT

in access road/strategic location. He/she shall hold orange safety flag to get their attention and lead them to site.

Other ERT members to clear access road for smooth passage of the EERT.

If applicable, vacate site and influence area at once, restrict site, suspend work until further notice.

Follow evacuation procedure.

Table 11: Response Procedure in Case of Fire

Procedure Remarks Alert a fire situation.

Whoever detects the fire shall

immediately: call the attention of other people in the

site, sound the nearest alarm, and/or Foreman or any ERT member among the

construction sub-group contacts the fire department (in this case it must be agreed on that it is alright for any ERT member in the sub-group to alert the fire department)

report/communicate the emergency to the ERTL/Deputy ERTL.

Stop all activities/operations and evacuate.

All (non-ERT) workers/staff sub-contractors, site visitors and concerned public to move out to safe grounds following the evacuation procedure.

Activate ERT to contain fire/control fire from spreading.

Guided by the training they undertook, ERT members assigned to mitigate the fire shall assess their own safety situation first before attempting to control fire spread.

50

Procedure Remarks Call the nearest fire and police stations

and, if applicable, emergency medical services.

When alerting the EERT, ERTL will give the location, cause of fire, estimated fire alarm rating, any injuries.

Facilitate leading the EERT to the emergency site.

ERTL/Deputy ERTL to instruct: an ERT member to meet the EERT in the

access road or strategic location and lead them to the site. He/she shall hold the orange safety flag to get their attention and lead them to the site.

some ERT members to stop traffic in, and clear, the access road to facilitate passage of the EERT.

ERT to vacate the site as soon as their safety is assessed as in danger.

Follow appropriate evacuation procedure.
