I. INTRODUCTION A. Background 1. The Government of India has implemented projects to improve urban conditions in North Eastern region capital cities under North Eastern Region Capital Cities Development Investment Programme (NERCCDIP). The investment Programme will aim at improving infrastructure and urban service, and also strengthening the urban institutions for better service delivery and operation maintenance of the assets. The capital cities under the Programme are Agartala (In Tripura), Aizâwl (In Mizoram), Gangtok (In Sikkim), Kohima (In Nagaland), and Shillong (In Meghalaya). This report deals with the proposed investment Programme (NERCCDIP: ADB 3337 IND) for Aizâwl, the capital city of Mizoram. 2. The works under the investment Programme includes development of urban infrastructure facilities in the sector for Water Supply, Sewerage & Sanitation and Solid Waste Management system. The budgetary allocation for Tranche 3 NERCCDIP program is 80 million US Dollar. 3. Location of Aizâwl in Mizoram is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows Aizâwl city map. B. Purpose of the Report 4. NERCCDIP has been classified by ADB as environmental assessment category B (some negative impacts but less significant than category A) and the impacts of subprojects were assessed through Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) reports (for Tranche 3) prepared according to ADB Environment Policy (2002,2009) and Environmental Assessment Guidelines (2003). 5. This report is the Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR) –Tranche - 3 for the period January to June 2019 to describe the “Environmental Compliance” including status of implementation of the mitigation measures and monitoring recommended in the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE).

C. Implementation Arrangement Details on the SIPMIU and DSMC environmental cell setup and personnel 11. Environmental issues of the project coordinated by an Environmental Specialist within the DSMC, who ensures that all subprojects, comply with environmental safeguards. There is one Environmental Officer in SIPMIU. The Safeguard Officer is responsible for implementing the environmental safeguard provisions in the project including (i) ensuring environmental criteria for subproject selection in the EARF are followed, (ii) ensuring mitigation requirements are in contractor bidding documents, and (iii) liasing with various Central and State government agencies on compliance matters. The SIPMIU appointed and manage Construction Contractors (CC) to build elements of the infrastructure that are required to submit Environmental Implementation Plans (EIPs) for SIPMIU approval. The SIPMIU is assisted by the DSMC, who is responsible for design the infrastructure, manage tendering of contracts, and supervise the construction process. 12. An Environmental Specialist (ES) in the DSMC is responsible for addressing the environmental issues in the project components during design and implementation. The ES ensure all mitigation requirements are in contractor bidding documents and EMPs, and supervise the effective implementation of environmental provisions during construction. In addition, the ES assist the SIPMIU on the procurement needs and other project implementation aspects and play a central role in ensuring capacity building on environmental management of the SIPMIU, Contractor and Line Departments through capacity development support and training. Figure 3 shows institutional responsibility for
12
implementation of environmental safeguard monitoring at different level. Appendix 2 shows safeguard monitoring team (Tranche 3) for Aizâwl. 13. EMP shows that most of the mitigation measures are fairly standard methods of minimizing disturbance from building in urban areas (maintaining access, planning work to avoid sensitive times, finding uses for waste material, etc), and experienced Contractors should be familiar with most of the requirements. Monitoring of such measures normally involves making observations in the course of site visits, although some require more formal checking of records and other aspects. There are also be some surveys of residents, as most of the measures are aimed at preventing impacts on people and the human environment.

importance risk nature of construction job. Appendix 10 shows standard instruction and guidelines for compliance of health and safety issues. 22. Environment Officer of SIPMIU and Environment Specialist from DSMC carried out periodic monitoring of EMP implementation through desk review of contractor’s records and site inspections. 23. Package wise findings are presented in compliance tables, Tables 5 to 8. It may be noted, though most of the sites are environmentally well managed, in a few cases in packages there are scope for further improvement in site management measures as mentioned below,
Improvement of housekeeping at camp for the package P&SN/WS/AIZ/T-3/NCB-1-Tranche 3
Complete use of caution tape at all working location with proper caution board with emergency contact no. and replacement of all old project display/ caution board for the package P&SN/WS/AIZ/T-3/NCB-1-Tranche 3
Improvement of camp site- housekeeping at working site and camp, improvement of toilet facility and waste management for the package A &TP/WS/AIZ/T3/NCB-6 – Tranche 3
Suppression of dust through water sprinkling for the package A &TP/WS/AIZ/T3/NCB-6 – Tranche 3
Complete use of caution tape at excavated area for the package A &TP/WS/AIZ/T3/NCB-6 – Tranche 3
Improvement of camp site- housekeeping at working site for the package SL&CP/SWM/AIZ/T-3/NCB-4- Tranche 3
Health check up for workers for the package SL&CP/SWM/AIZ/T-3/NCB-4- Tranche 3
Renewal of WC policy for the package SL&CP/SWM/AIZ/T-3/NCB-4- Tranche 3
Renewal of WC policy for the package SWS/SAN/AIZ/T-3/NCB-9- Tranche 3 Complete Use of PPE by contractors’ site workers and complete use of
caution tape at working sites for all the packages under Tranche 3 24. The concerned contractors were instructed verbally and also in writing. During subsequent field visits and from monthly monitoring reports it was observed that such deficiencies are mostly removed and site management has considerably improved.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND EVALUATION 25. For effective monitoring, selected environmental parameters have been identified as indicators which will be qualitatively and quantitatively measured and compared over a period of time in order to assess/ensure the compliance of EMP. The environmental performance indicators are physical, biological and social characteristics identified as most important in affecting the environment at critical locations all along the subproject locations. The parameters identified as performance indicators are:
Air, noise and water quality Compliance to EMP Compliance to local/state/national environmental regulations
26. During report period air quality monitoring has been conducted for all the 4 packages under Tranche-3, which under implementation. 27. All contractors have health and safety budget for implementation of EMP and monitoring of pollution parameters. 28. Results of air quality monitoring are shown in Table 9 below. Value of all air quality parameters are within the standard levels. It is noted that value of SO2, NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 are high at landfill site and which due to burning of waste at nearby existing landfill site and generation of dust from working site. Control of waste burning, restricted movement of vehicles, equipments are necessary for minimization of ambient air pollutant levels.

30. The measured noise levels are provided in Table 10 below. It is noted from the data below that noise levels are more or less above the standard at different sites. High noise level could be due to movement of equipment particularly at that area. The generation of noise is mainly due to commercial and human activities. Control of equipment and vehicle noise is necessary for overall minimization of the noise level.

VII. GRIVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM 38. Grievances of APs will first be brought to the attention of the implementing NGO or RO. Grievances not redressed within 30 days by the NGO or RO will be brought to the grievance redress committee (GRC), established in each State. GRCs will comprise the Investment Program Director, RO, LAO, implementing NGO representative, female and male AP representatives (including vulnerable households), and an eminent member of the community. The GRC will meet every month, determine the merit of each grievance, and resolve grievances within a month of receiving the complaint; failing which the grievance will be addressed by the IPEC. Further grievances will be referred by APs to appropriate courts of law. Records will be kept of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were affected, and final outcome. All costs involved in resolving grievances will be borne by the SIPMIU. The
43
SIPMIU through the DSMC will keep records of all grievances received including: contact details of complainant, date that the complaint was received, nature of grievance, agreed corrective actions and the date these were effected, and final outcome. The grievance redress process is shown in Figure 4. The GRCs will continue to function throughout the project duration. Appendix 18 shows GR registration format.

VIII. FINDINGS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTIONS PLAN 39. Protection of local environment, health and safety of workers engaged during construction, application of mitigation measures started as per specified EMP. Public consultation during construction/implementation phase is being carried out, the general recommendations as per present observations are given below. 40. As per ADB’s safeguard policy the project authority established a mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of affected persons’ concerns, complaints and grievances about the project’s environmental performance. The grievances mechanism should be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts of the project. It will address- affected peoples’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to all the affected people at no cost and without retribution. The affected people will be informed by appropriate mechanism. 41. Table 14 provides the recommended corrective action plan that has been devised and target dates that have been set so as to remove these non-compliances. The concerned Contractors have been suitably advised. General Effort in implementing Environmental Management Plan is carried out by the Contractors. The present status is found satisfactory but there is scope for improvement in the implementation of EMP such as – workers do not always wear proper PPE and better barricading.

Appendix 10 SAFETY RULES for WORK SITE
ALL OF OUR SAFETY RULES MUST BE OBEYED.FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN STRICT DISCIPLINARY ACTION BEING TAKEN.
1. Keep your mind on your work at all times. No horseplay on the job. Injury or termination or both can be the result.
2. Personal safety equipment must be worn as prescribed for each job, such as: safety glasses for eye protection, hard hats at all times within the confines of the construction area where there is a potential for falling materials or tools, gloves when handling materials, and safety shoes are necessary for protection against foot injuries.
3. Precautions are necessary to prevent sunburn and to protect against burns from hot materials.
4. If any part of your body should come in contact with an acid or caustic substance, rush to the nearest water available and flush the affected part. Secure medical aid immediately.
5. Watch where you are walking. Don't run. 6. The use of illegal drugs or alcohol or being under the influence of the same on the project shall
be cause for termination. Inform your supervisor if taking strong prescription drugs that warn against driving or using machinery.
7. Do not distract the attention of fellow workers. 8. Do not engage in any act which would endanger another employee. 9. Sanitation facilities have been or will be provided for your use. Defacing or damaging these
facilities is forbidden. 10. A good job is a clean job, and a clean job is the start of a safe job. So keep your working area
free from rubbish and debris. 11. Do not use a compressor to blow dust or dirt from your clothes, hair, or hands. 12. Never work aloft if you are afraid to do so, if you are subject to dizzy spells, or if you are apt to
be nervous or sick. 13. Never move an injured person unless it is absolutely necessary. Further injury may result.
Keep the injured as comfortable as possible and utilize job site first-aid equipment until an ambulance arrives.
14. Know where fire fighting equipment is located and be trained on how to use it. 15. Lift correctly - with legs, not the back. If the load is too heavy GET HELP, Stay fit. Control
your weight. Do stretching exercises. Approximately twenty percent of all construction related injuries result from lifting materials.
16. Nobody but operator shall be allowed to ride on equipment unless proper seating is provided.
17. Do not use power tools and equipment until you have been properly instructed in the safe work methods and become authorized to use them.\
18. Be sure that all guards are in place. Do not remove, displace, damage, or destroy any safety device or safeguard furnished or provided for use on the job, nor interfere with the use thereof.
19. Do not enter an area which has been barricaded. 20. If you must work around power shovels, trucks, and dozers, make sure operators can
always see you. Barricades are required for cranes. 21. Never oil, lubricates, or fuel equipment while it is running or in motion. 22. Before servicing, repairing, or adjusting any powered tool or piece of equipment,
69
disconnect it, lock out the source of power, and tag it out. 23. Barricade danger areas. Guard rails or perimeter cables may be required. 24. Trenches over five feet deep must be shored or sloped as required. Keep out of trenches or cuts
that have not been properly shored or sloped. 25. Excavated or other material shall not be stored nearer than two feet from the edge of the
excavation. Excavations less than 5 ft may also require cave in protection in some instances. 26. Use the "four and one" rule when using a ladder. One foot of base for every four feet of
height. 27. Portable ladders in use shall be equipped with safety feet unless ladder is tied, blocked or
otherwise secured. Step ladders shall not be used as a straight ladder. 28. Ladders must extend three feet above landing on roof for proper use. 29. Defective ladders must be properly tagged and removed from service. 30. Keep ladder bases free of debris, hoses, wires, materials, etc. 31. Build scaffolds according to manufacturers' recommendations. Scaffold planks shall be
properly lapped, cleared or otherwise secured to prevent shifting. 32. Use only extension cords of the three-prong type. Use ground fault circuit interrupters at all
times and when using tools in wet atmosphere (e.g. outdoors) or with any temporary power supply. Check t h e e l e c t r i c a l grounding system daily.
33. The use of harnesses with safety lines when working from unprotected high places is mandatory. Always keep your line as tight as possible.
34. Never throw anything "overboard." Someone passing below may be seriously injured. Open fires are prohibited.
35. Know what emergency procedures have been established for your job site. (Location of emergency phone, first aid kit, stretcher location, fire extinguisher locations, evacuation plan, etc)
36. Never enter a manhole, well, shaft, tunnel or other confined space which could possibly have a non-respirable atmosphere because of lack of oxygen, or presence of toxic or flammable gas, or has a possibility of engulfment by solids or liquids. Make certain a qualified person tests the confined area with an appropriate detector before entry, that the necessary safety equipment is worn. Standby person may be required to be stationed at the entrance.

15. Safety instructions for handling emergency situations should be displayed prominently at both the
storage and use locations.
Procedure for First Aid: General
1. First aid kits must be readily available to workers on a job and a copy of a comprehensive first aid
publication should be included with each kit.
81
2. All supervisors should be trained in first aid and other workers should be encouraged to do so.
Treatment 1. The treatments described below should be carried out only in emergencies.
2. Unless minor cuts are being treated, medical aid should be obtained as soon as possible. In
many situations where the patient’s injuries are serious and medical attention is required, it is
often quicker to get an ambulance to come to the site than to locate a doctor and obtain treatment
from him or her.
3. Before treating wounds, burns or eye injuries, always wash your hands and if possible rinse them
in an antiseptic solution.
Bleeding 1. Remove loose dirt from the wound only if it can be brushed off. Do not wash the wound. Apply a
sterile dressing and press lightly but firmly down.
2. Cover with a pad of soft material then apply a bandage. If this does not stop the bleeding, bind a
second pad over the top, bandage more firmly and seek urgent assistance.
Rescue Breathing 1. If a patient is not breathing, place him on his back, ensure a clear airway by turning head to one
side, clear mouth of dentures, mucus or vomit with your finger, then tilt head well back. The
patient may start breathing.
2. If not, seal your lips over the patient’s mouth, pinch his nostrils with your fingers and blow in, until
his chest is seen to rise. Remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Listen for air to come out.
Repeat at your normal breathing rate.
3. If his chest does not rise, check that his airway is clear and the head is well back. Keep a
constant check on his pulse and continue rescue breathing.
Heart Stopped 1. If the heart has stopped, carry out external compression of the heart by pressing down from 25 to
40 mm on the person’s lower breastbone with the palm of the hand, once per second. Do it six to
eight times, then stop and inflate the person’s lungs. Continue this cycle.
2. If two people are available, one can do the external heart compression and the other the mouth-
to-mouth resuscitation.
Shock 1. A severely injured person becomes cold and clammy. Wrap the patient with blankets but be very
careful not to overheat him.
2. Try to provide shelter but do not move the patient unnecessarily.
3. Hot sweet tea is beneficial and may be provided as long as the person is not suffering serious
injuries, which may require an anesthetic if, he is sent to hospital. Do not give him alcohol.
Fractures
82
1. Splint fractures before moving. It helps to bind two legs, together or to bind a fractured arm to the
chest. Splints are easily improvised and should extend far enough to immobilize the joints above
and below the fracture.
2. If you suspect a fracture of the back, never move the victim except in an extreme emergency.
This could damage the spinal cord and leave the victim permanently paralyzed. Cover him with a
blanket and try to keep him calm.
Unconsciousness 1. The unconscious victim is in danger of suffocation by inhaling his own blood or vomit. Place the
victim in a comfortable position on his side to allow blood, vomit or mucus to drain away.
2. Treat the patient as for shock and consult a doctor even if consciousness is very quickly
regained.
Eye Injuries 1. If there is a foreign body in the eye, wash it out with plenty of water. If this does not remove it, do
not dig around in the eye.
2. Cover it with gauze and take the patient to a doctor. A chemical splash in an eye, whether acid or
alkaline, should be washed out immediately with plenty of water for several minutes. Prompt
action is essential.
Burns 1. Treat other burns in the same way as bitumen burns–that is, apply cold water immediately and
copiously. Do not attempt to remove the victim’s clothing.
Heat Exhaustion 1. Move out of the heat.
2. Place at rest.
3. Loosen tight clothing.
4. Keep head low, raise legs and feet slightly.
5. For cramps, give a glass of slightly salted water (add 1/4 teaspoon salt). Give as much as the
casualty will take.
SAFETY DISCIPLINE Four-Step System
First violation Oral warning; notation for work site file.
Second violation Written warning; notation for office file
Third violation Written warning; one day work suspension without pay
Fourth violation Written warning; Financial Penalty from BOQ (Book of Quantity)

Appendix 15 Traffic Management Plan
Package: Water Supply: Distribution network & Feeder main (P&SN/WS/AIZ/T-3/NCB-1)
Traffic Management Plan (TMP) A. Principles 1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work zone, and to address the following issues:
(i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone;
(ii) protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties (v) Avoid hazards in addressing issues that may delay the project.
B. Operating Policies for TMP 2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while reasonably protecting workers and equipment.
(i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of every project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance.
(ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible. (iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they
approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone. (iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make modifications
when necessary. (v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic control
zones. (vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control devices. (vii) Keep the public well informed. (viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents,
businesses, emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.
C. Analyze the impact due to street closure, if required 3. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic should involve the following steps:
(i) approval from the SIPMIU/ DSMC, local administration to use the local streets as detours;
(ii) consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction;
(iii) determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents;
(iv) determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route;
(v) considering how access will be provided to the worksite; (vi) contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if
there are impacts to their operations; and
113
(vii) developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion.
4. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the Detour Street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period. D. Public awareness and notifications 5. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the works. 6. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices, ward level meetings and city level meeting with the elected representatives. 7. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:
(i) traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.); (ii) defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and (iii) reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.
8. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during construction. 9. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centers. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the SIPMIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:
(i) explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project; (ii) advise the public to expect the unexpected; (iii) educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures
adopted at the work zones; (iv) educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work zones; (v) tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the
work zones (name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and (vi) indicate the office hours of relevant offices.
E. Vehicle Maintenance and Safety 10. A vehicle maintenance and safety program shall be implemented by the construction contractor. The contractor should ensure that all the vehicles are in proper running condition and it comply with roadworthy and meet certification standards of Mizoram Govt./ GoI. All vehicles to be used shall be in perfect condition meeting pollution standards of Mizoram Govt./ GoI. The vehicle operator requires a pre state of shift checklist. Additional safety precautions will include the requirement for:
Driver will follow the special code of conduct and road safety rules of Government of India
114
Drivers to ensure that all loads are covered and secured drivers to ensure operation equipment can’t leak materials hauled
Vehicles will be cleaned and maintained in designed places. F. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes 10. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important to install good traffic signs at the work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:
Signs Pavement Markings Channelizing Devices Arrow Panels Warning Lights
11. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary “STOP” and “GO”). 12. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones. 13. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flaggers/ personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during night time. 14 In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions. 15. The SIPMIU/DSMC and contractor will coordinate with the local administration and traffic police regarding the traffic signs, detour, and any other matters related to traffic. The contractor will prepare the traffic management plan in detail and submit it along with the EMP for the final approval.
