1.1. PUNJAB CITIES GOVERANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PCGIP)

Government of the Punjab (GoP) with the financial assistance from World Bank (WB) is implementing

Punjab Cities Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP). The project is focused at strengthening of

systems and governance improvement for enhanced service delivery and being implemented in five large

cities (Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad and Gujranwala).

The project development objectives are to:

Support the Province of Punjab’s cities in strengthening systems for improved planning, resource

management, and accountability

Improve the capacity to respond promptly and effectively to Crisis or Emergency.

The objective of the PCGIP is to support Punjab’s large cities in strengthening institutional frameworks

and developing systems for improved urban planning, expenditure and accountability and to capacitate

these cities to improve delivery of municipal services in a medium to long term on a more sustainable

basis. The Project has a number of financial, social, economic and environmental benefits, including

institutional development, rehabilitation and improvement of municipal services, better quality of life and

employment generation. In addition a large number of secondary benefits are also likely to accrue in the

medium to long term such as institutional reforms at local level.

1.2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ESMF)

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) serves as a guiding document to address the

social and environmental issues during projects implementation covering following phases at: Planning

and design, Construction and rehabilitation, Operation and maintenance, Decommissioning and closure

phases.

Overall objectives of ESMF are to:

Ensure that schemes to be designed and implemented by the Government are environmentally sound

and socially acceptable

Ensure that all the schemes comply with the national regulatory and WB policy frameworks

Internalize and integrate the environmental and social management procedures and processes in the

routine projects/operations/service delivery of CDG’s and city entities

Screening will be the first step of the environmenta l and social management procedure. Each scheme

during its preparation stage will be screened with respect to environmental and social considerations. The

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION



Safeguards Specialist will be responsible to carry out this screening. The screening criteria are presented

below.

1.3. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SCREENING OF SCHEMES

Environmental Categories: Depending on size, cost, location and the nature, scheme will have varying

impacts on city environment. The rigorousness of environmental assessment requires identifying and

mitigating the impacts, largely dependent upon the complexities of scheme. To facilitate effective

screening, schemes are categorized into three ranks viz. E-1, E-2 and E-3.

(i) E-1 schemes are those wherein major environmental impacts are foreseen;

(ii) E-2 schemes are expected to have only moderate environmental impacts; and

(iii) E-3 schemes are the schemes with negligible environmental impacts and hence, these can be

termed as “environmentally benign”.

Since PCGIP funds are exclusive for operation and maintenance and rehabilitation schemes, schemes

falling under E-1 category shall not be funded.

Social Categories: Based on the number of households that may be affected by the scheme, i.e. Affected

Households (AHs) and magnitude of impacts, schemes are categorized as S-1, S-2 and S-3.

(i) S-1 schemes are those schemes that will impact more than 40 households, and are expected to

have significant negative social consequences;

(ii) S-2 schemes are those which will impact less than 40 households and are expected to have

significant social consequences affecting local inhabitants;

(iii) S-3 schemes are not expected to have any significant adverse social impacts;

Since PCGIP funds are exclusively allocated for operation and maintenance and rehabilitation schemes,

thus schemes falling under S-1 and S-2 categories shall not be funded through the project.

1.4. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP)

The type of environmental and social assessment requirements for each scheme will be determined

according to the following criteria:

Schemes having E-1 and S-1 categories : full EIA (or ESIA) will be required for each individual

scheme. In addition, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be prepared for each scheme with S-

1 category.

Schemes having E-2 and S-2 categories : Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)

will be prepared for each individual scheme. In addition, an Abbreviated Resettlement Action

Plan will be prepared for each scheme with S-2 category.

Schemes having E-3 and S-3 categories: no further assessment is needed.



ESMPs preparation: For each scheme with E-2 category, ESMP will be prepared by the Environment

& Social Safeguards Specialist at the CDG level. The ESMP preparation will be an integral part of the

scheme preparation/appraisal process, and ESMP will be an integral part of the scheme documentation.

The ESMP will include details of the works to be carried out under the scheme, the site-specific

environmental and social information (baseline), and site-specific and scheme-specific mitigation

measures. The ESMPs will be reviewed and NOC will be issued by the DG (EPA) Govt. of the Punjab,

Lahore.

ESMP Implementation: During the scheme implementation, the mitigation and monitoring measures

included in the ESMP will need to be implemented. The ESMP will be included in the bidding documents

(if the scheme is to be contracted out), and hence it will be included in the contractor’s scope of

work/services. Similarly, if the scheme is to be implemented by the concerned department itself, the

ESMP will be included in the scope of work/services. The ESMP cost will be included in the scheme

implementation cost. Environmental and social monitoring will also be carried out to ensure effective

implementation of the ESMP. First tier of monitoring will be conducted along with the monitoring of the

works being carried out under the scheme. At the second tier, the Safeguards Specialist will carry out spot

checks to ensure ESMP implementation. Checklists prepared on the basis of mitigation measures

proposed in the ESMP will be used for this purpose. Photographic record will also be maintained for this

purpose.

For each scheme with E-2 category 1as per ESMF document, ESMP prepared by the Environment &

Social Safeguard Specialist at the CDG level to ensure ESMF implementation at City level. The ESMP

preparation is an integral part of the scheme preparation/appraisal process, and ESMP will be an integral

part of the scheme contract documentation. The ESMP include details of the works to be carried out under

the scheme, the site-specific environmental and social information (baseline) and site-specific and

scheme-specific mitigation measures and ESMP cost estimation.

2.4. COST ESTIMATE

Total cost of the scheme: 28.125 million (excluding ESMP cost)

ESMP implementation cost: 226,600 PKR/- (Break-up of this cost described in Table 4.4)

2.5. DURATION OF THE PROJECT

Duration of the Project: 06 months

Labour involved: 20-25

2.6. PROVISION OF ALTERNATIVES

As the proposed project is limited to repair/ improvement of road under limited traffic load (mostly light

weight), there is no need for alternatives for this project. Due to proposed project activity, entry/ exit

problem may not occur for the residents as road width is enough for traffic/pedestrians movement. The

impact is temporary and minor in nature. The mitigation measure should be adopted to reduce the impact.



3.1 CITY PROFILE

Multan2 is a fifth largest city by population and has an area of 133 square kilometers. The city is located

on the banks of the Chenab River in the geographic center of the country and known as the City of Sufis

due to large number of Sufi saints shrines in the city. In Multan, though the present government has

attempted to resolve some urban issues, the existing road network and the other available transportation

facilities are still unable to accommodate such a diversified and huge volume of traffic on roads. Due to

ever growing traffic encumbrance, the road safety problems have increased. The common disabilities of

the present transport facilities include inability to accommodate diversified and huge volume of traffic,

encroachments, mixed traffic, damaged road surfaces, poorly designed intersections, wrong positions of

utility services along roads, haphazard commercialization and unplanned location of the transport related

infrastructure; such as bus stands, truck stands, fruit and the vegetable markets. The total number of

vehicles in Multan stood at 320,519 in 2005. Motor cycles / scooters constituted 68 % of the total. The

second highest share is that of motor cars, jeeps and station wagons at around 14 %. Growth rate for

others has been recorded at 12 % per annum. The growth of registered vehicles over the past 25 years has

been recorded at around 13 % per annum. The growth of others vehicles and the delivery vans was

recorded at almost 24 % and 17 % respectively. The motor cycles / scooters, and motor cars, jeeps and

station wagons share 13.5 % and 12 % respectively.

3.2 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT OF CITY

3.2.1 AIR QUALITY

The degradation of air quality in all the large cities is a major environmental concern these days. Air

pollution levels in urban centers have either crossed safe limits given in the NEQS or have reached the

threshold values. The urban air quality is being deteriorated due to inadequate traffic flow and transport

management (which has not been given due importance until now), use of outdated technology

including fuel substitution and non-availability of less polluted fuels (e.g. low Sulfur fuels, CNG), and

fuel adulteration, and non-existence of management tools for effective implementation of laws linking

control on emissions, strengthening vehicle inspection and maintenance and transport planning.

SECTION 3: ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE CONDITION OF MULTAN

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenab_River



About 60 to 70 % of the deterioration in the air quality is due to the vehicular emissions. The parameters

which have proved to be the major threat are particulate matter and concentration of oxides of nitrogen

that are relatively higher in all the large cities of Punjab. The PM2.5 has shown an estimated increase of

more than 60 % since last 3 years. Further the present road infrastructure cannot cater the need of growing

automobiles flow resulting in the mounting concentrations of NOx and SO2. There is dire need to adopt

strict measures to obviate this issue, which is not only a hazard for the environment but also to t he health

and quality of life of the people.

3.2.2 DUST

The roadside dust is one of the most important contributors towards overall atmospheric pollution. This

problem becomes even more significant when we consider it in relation to the poorly maintained roads

loaded with ever increasing motor vehicle traffic especially in urban areas. This result in many adverse

effects especially to the respiratory health of the persons exposed to this dust either because of their

residence or occupation in these areas (Zafar 20074). During the construction phase of this scheme,

roadside dust can be generated. It can be mitigated by water sprinkling with water bowzers.

3.2.3 NOISE

Noise5 is generally used as an unwanted sound, or sound which produces unpleasant effects and

discomfort on the ears. Noise is considered as environmental pollution, even though it is thought to have

less damage on humans than water, air or land pollution. Generally, problems caused by noise pollution

include stress, hearing loss, sleep disruption etc. During the construction phase of this scheme, noise can

be generated from machinery used in road construction. Mitigation measures have been suggested in

mitigation table 4.1& 4.3 in order to reduce its effects upon human beings.

The general mitigation measures to control noise are:

Control of the noise at source.

Control of the noise in the area of impact (receiver position).

Control of the noise at some convenient intermediate location (i.e. along the transmission path)

between the source and impacted receive.

3.2.4 SOIL PROFILE

The soil6 of the Multan is of alluvial in nature and sand is everywhere met up to a few feet below the

surface. District Multan is destitute of mineral wealth. Saltpetre (potassium nitrate) is manufactured on a

small scale and a little kankar is found here and there on the surface. Soil of Multan is enriched with Illite,

Quartz, Calcite, Vermite, Chamosite, Dolomite and Epidote constituents. No impact on soil envisaged

because no excavation or deep ditching activities are under scope of work of this scheme.

3.2.5 WATER SOURCES

WASA tube wells, drinking water supply system, hand pumps are major water resources for the people of

Multan and generally 400 to 600 feet in depth. The water is of good quality at this depth having TDS of

300-500 ppm. Water7 from this depth is (generally) not contaminated with bacteria and viruses or with

arsenic as it is the shallower ground water. WASA therefore undertakes no treatment of raw water supply.

However, WASA Multan does indicate problems with contamination at some wells and is attempting to

extend tube well depth. Shallow private tube wells record arsenic contamination levels from 10 to 250

ppb compared to lower levels of 5 -35 ppb in deeper WASA tube wells suggesting that contamination is

concentrated in shallow subsoil of the aquifer. The Water Supply System comprises of distribution lines

up to 960 km in length. There is no prominent water channel or drinking water resource lies under the

scheme. Ground water used by local community for drinking purposes.

3.3 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF CITY

3.3.1. PARKS AND GARDENS

There are many important parks and gardens in Multan. It includes Allama Iqbal Park Nawan Shehar,

Faisal Mukhtar Park Mumtazabad, Goal Bagh Park Gulgashtan, Green Belt Bosan Road, Green Belt near

Kalma Chowk, Ibne Qasim Park, Qilla Kohna Qasim Bagh, Jalal Masjid Park Gulgashtan, Ladies Park

Gulgashtan, Ladies Park Rashidabad, Langey Khan Park near Civil Hospital Chowk, MDA Park opposite

Circuit House, Gulzar-e-Mustafa Park at Jalapur Pirwala, Park at Qadirpur Raan, Park behind Multan

Arts Council, Pervez Elahi Park Kiri Jamandan etc.

Environmental sensitive areas are more prone towards human

disturbance. For this scheme, no wetland, estuarine, river,

protected area and cultural heritage sites lie within scope of

work of scheme area and no significant environmental impacts

has been envisaged, however mitigation measures have been

recommended against less significant environmental concerns.

This scheme is environmentally sound and sustainable.

3.3.2. FLORA & FAUNA

Preservation of biodiversity is of global concern, but the causes of loss and their solutions are very often

local in scale. Road development continues to be a major player in the overall reduction of biodiversity,

and proper planning at the project level can go a long way in limiting the loss, while still serving the

transport need. No wild animal/endangered species is found in the area except pet animals. No flora and

fauna will be affected due to project construction activities.
