Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project 1

1. BACKGROUND

Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is a project being implemented by loan

assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), technical assistance from Swiss Agency

for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and counterpart funding from Government of Nepal

(GoN). EEAP will support GoN to accelerate recovery and reconstruction following the

devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershock of 12 May 2015. The Project

covers 12 affected districts in eastern, middle and western development region of Nepal1.

The Project will restore and strengthen the resiliency of critical public and social infrastructure

and services and has four outputs; Output 1: Schools are rebuilt and upgraded, Output 2: Roads

and bridges are rehabilitated and/or reconstructed, Output 3: District-level government facilities

constructed and/or rebuilt, Output 4: Disaster preparedness and management capacities

strengthened.

Under Output 2, strategic roads and district roads damaged by the earthquake and landslides

are under rehabilitation. Project roads and bridges will have built back better features for road

safety and climate resilience. The initial target of district roads component was rehabilitation and

reconstruction of 450 km. A total of 25 potential road sub-projects (474.7 km) had been

identified for rehabilitation and reconstruction in 12 sub-projects districts under EEAP2.

However, 17 road sub-projects (290 km) has been prioritized for rehabilitation and

reconstruction due to budget constraint (please refer Figure 1 and 2 for project location).

National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) is executing agency for EEAP. Ministry of Federal

Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD) is implementing agency for rural road component of

output 2 under EEAP. The implementing arrangements are as following: MoFALD has

established a Central Level Project Implementation Unit (CLPIU) in Kathmandu, headed by a

project coordinator to coordinate all project activities. The CLPIU will be responsible for guiding

and monitoring District Coordination Committees (DCCs)/District Technical Office (DTO) as they

implement project components.

At the district level, project implementation will be the responsibility of the District Level Project

Implementation Unit (DLPIU) within the District Technical Office (DTO) of each district. DLPIU

will be supported by District Implementation Support Consultants (DISC) which is headed by

District Team Leader, technical and social staff. Overall back stopping support to the district will

be provided by Central Implementation Support Consultants (CISC).

1The 12 project districts are Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Kavrepalanchok, Dolakha, Ramechhap, Okhaldhunga,

Solukhumbu, Sindhuli, Gorkha, Lamjung, Chitwan

2 This report covers only the rural road component of output 2 under EEAP

2. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS IN EEAP

EEAP falls in category B project according to ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. Also, the

road sub-projects of EEAP belong to District Road Core Network (DRCN) according to Nepal

Rural Road Standard (2055) first Revision, September 2012 of the Department of Local

Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads. Therefore, it is a legal requirement to carry

out Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) according to Act relating to Reconstruction of the

Earthquake Affected Structures 2015, Rules relating to Reconstruction of the Earthquake

Affected Structures 2016, Working Procedure relating with Environmental Impact Assessment

for Reconstruction of the Earthquake Affected Structures 2016 (first amendment, 2016).

Environmental assessment is essential to integrate environmental considerations into

development project in order to minimize negative environmental impacts. In this context, IEE

reports have been prepared or under preparation for road sub-projects under EEAP to satisfy

legal provision of GoN and ADB environmental procedures. The IEE reports of the road sub-

projects have to receive concurrence from ADB and approval from NRA and few of them have

already got the concurrence and approval.

During the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the road sub-projects, environmental monitoring

is an important tool to ensure the compliance of mitigation measures and implementation of

environmental management plan (EMP). Monthly, Quarterly and semi-annual Environmental

Safeguard Monitoring Report have to be prepared on the basis of report received from DISC

team and environmental field visit made by Environmental Safeguard Unit of CISC, EEAP.

3. CONSTRUCTION APPROACH

EEAP applies National Competitive Bidding (NCB) approach for construction of road.

Contractor will use equipment and manpower to execute the contract within the stipulated

deadline. However, spoil disposal is balanced with cutting and filling as far as possible. There

will be use of bio-engineering techniques with integrated use of vegetation, simple civil

engineering structures and proper water management systems for slope protection. Overall,

construction activities will follow the environment friendly approach as much as possible.

4. OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD STATUS

Out of 17 road sub-projects, 10 IEE and 3 ToR for IEE have been presented in NRA. 3 IEE

reports had been already presented in MoFALD under RRRSDP before the promulgation of Act

relating to Earthquake Affected Structure, 2015. And, 1 IEE is under revision at CISC.

Till date, 6 IEE reports (Kuntabesi-Nayagaun-Nagarkot Road, Kavrepalanchok; Luitel-Aappipal-

5. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARD MEASURES Construction activities in few road sub-projects under EEAP have already started, few are in

process. IEE reports have been already prepared for 14 road sub-projects. For better

environmental safeguard compliance of the project, implementation of EMP should be done

strictly. Few environmental mitigation cost has already been included under Bill of Quantity

(BoQ) as civil work cost, besides there is provisional sum of money ranging from NRs.

300,000.00 to NRs. 350,000.00 in BoQ. However, IEE reports suggest that NRs. 24,408,269.34

is required for 14 road sub-project in addition to environmental management cost covered under

civil activities. Please refer Annex 3 for details about budget estimate for the implementation of

environmental management plan for 14 road sub-projects. Following is summary of

environmental compliances and details are given in Annex 4.

5.1. Awareness Raising Training and other Benefit Augmentation Measures

Awareness raising training has to be organized by each district before and during the road

construction. Half day awareness raising orientation training program for contractor’s workers and field staff as well as home stay training, solid waste management training, environmental

awareness training etc. has been planned for local people within zone of influence (ZOI). Total

estimated budget for different awareness raising training, solid waste management training and

home stay training are estimated to be NRs. 4,020,000.00 for 14 sub-projects.

5.2. Tree Loss and Compensatory Plantation

The 13 road sub-projects pass through 43 Community Forests (CFs), 3 National Forests (NFs),

2 Religious Forest and private land with total tree loss of 5,899 (2,583 trees from forest area and

3,316 trees from private land). There is no tree loss from Thaiba-Godamchaur Road Sub-

project, Lalitpur. Compensatory plantation (CP) of 69,283 plants (64,575 in forest area and

4,708 in private land) has been targeted at the ratio of 1:25 plants in forest area (CF & NF) and

1:1 plants in private land with total estimated cost of NRs. 11,534,269.34. However, the

plantation rate in private land is 1:25 as there is tree loss from private forest. Overall, 56.21% of

tree will be lost from private land and 43.79% from forest area with target for compensatory

plantation of 6.80% and 93.20% respectively. Area wise, approximately 40 ha of plantation will

be due in forest area according to the plantation norms of the Ministry of Forest and Soil

Conservation (MoFSC) excluding road side plantation (please refer Annex 5 and Figure 3 for

detail).

Figure 3: Tree Loss and Targeted Plantation in EEAP Project

CISC will be providing backstopping support to district teams for carrying out compensatory

plantation works. Plantation agreement has been included in IEE of each sub project. In

addition, plantation plan has been prepared as given in Annex 6.

5.3. Slope Stabilization and Bioengineering Activities

Unstable slopes area has been identified in IEE as well as detail design report and total NRs.

37,091,810.84 have been estimated for bioengineering activities on actual cost estimate basis.

Solukhumbu district has reported the construction of 850 m3 of retaining wall to control landslide

at Ch 4+120 and 5+700.

5.4. Spoil Management

Spoil disposal sites have been identified and provision of toe walls are given in the detail project

design report. Spoils are being managed in specified disposal sites as far as possible. So far, 5

districts (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Dolkha, Gorkha and Solukhumbu) have reported construction

of toe walls with volume of 568 m3 and 131,890.00 m3 spoils have been managed so far. Spoil

management plan has been prepared and circulated to all districts, please refer Annex 7.

5.5. Camp Site Management

Drinking water and sanitary facilities (toilets) are provided in the camps by contractor and local

houses are rented. In camps, workers use kerosene and LPG gas for cooking.

5.6. Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational health and safety measures have been partially followed. Workers have been

provided with safety gears like helmet, facemasks, goggles etc. in most of the districts.

However, these items are in limited quantity and not sufficient for all the workers in few districts.

They need to be educated about the importance and use of safety gears. Group accidental

insurance has been done for all the workers in all the project districts where construction work is

going on. No injuries have been reported so far.

5.7. Signboard Placing

Three districts (Kathmandu, Solukhumbu and Dolkha) have erected 13 signboards at various

places along the road with environmental information and notice. Number of signboards ranges

from 2 to 8 per sub-project. NRs. 1,860,000.00 budget has been allocated for 14 sub-projects

for informative, safety and environmental awareness signboards.

5.8. Grievances Received and Addressed

GRM mechanism has been established in 8 districts (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur,

Kavrepalanchok, Gorkha, Dolakha, Okhaldhunga and Solukhumbu). So far, 9 grievances

related to environmental safeguard have been reported from two districts and are in process.

Most of the grievances are related to compensation for tree loss in missing plot and spoil

disposal (please refer Annex 8 for detail grievances).

5.9. Safeguard Desk Meeting

Safeguard Desk monthly meetings have been convened by two districts (Kathmandu and

Solukhumbu). Both districts have conducted 2 safeguard desk meeting till now.

5.10. EMP Implementation, Monitoring, Reporting and Field Visit

Environmental monitoring format has been sent to districts as given in Annex 9. Environmental

monitoring is also done by the CISC team during field visits. A sum of NRs. 3,059,000.00

budget has been allocated for monitoring activities.

6. WAY FORWARD

For maintain environmental safeguard in all sub-projects, IEE reports have to be prepared and

approved from concerned bodies at first. Then the implementation of environmental

management planned should be ensured with timely release of budget for proposed activities.

Actions required for effective implementation of environmental safeguard measures are

discussed below.

1. Obtaining forestry clearance for each sub-project is important as it is legal requirement as

well as catalyst to achieve targeted compensatory plantation. Therefore, DLPIU should

coordinate with DFO on this regard for roads with already approved IEE.

2. For the IFB awarded sub-project, DLPIU should organize orientation program to workers

of contractor on environmental friendly working approach.

3. Spoil disposal activities should be only at designated sites with provision of sufficient toe

walls.

4. Frequent field visit to ensure environmental safeguard compliance

5. Budget for implementation of benefit augmentation, mitigation and compensatory

measures as suggested in IEE reports for each project.

Annex 6: Plantation Plan

Many sub-projects under EEAP pass through forests area and will be affecting the forest

vegetation. According to Working Procedure to Use National Forest Area for National

Priority Projects, 2074 B.S. (2017 A.D.), there is provision of compensatory plantation (with

protection for five years) at the ratio of 1:25 plants by the project or provide plantation and

protection cost to concerned DFO. Appropriate mitigation measures have been/will be

recommended in the Initial Environment Examination (IEE) report that has been prepared/under

preparation. Planting a huge number of seedlings needs a pre-plan and coordination with

concerned stakeholders. Table 1 will be used to manage the planting stock for plantation for

different purposes.
