Twelfth Bi-annual environmental monitoring report for the Masalli to Astara Motorway (Part II) 6

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Introduction to Project

1. The Masalli to Astara Motorway is a new 62 km motorway section of the M-3 highway corridor that links the capital city, Baku, to the south of the country and the town of Astara, which straddles the Azeri/Iranian border. The project is split into three sections; A (0 - 22.15 km), B (22.15 - 45.00 km), and C (45.00 – 62.14 km).

2. The Executing Agency for the project is the Azeravtoyol Open Joint Stock Company1 (abbreviated to AAY in the present report).

3. Following screening2, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was carried out for the project in 2007. The EIA report was approved by AAY and ADB, and has served as a basis for the development of the specification and contract documents, and for the preparation and pricing of the Contractor Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

4. The Engineer appointed by AAY is Nippon Koei UK Ltd. The construction contract for Section B was awarded to Özgün Construction Industry and Trading Co. Inc. Section C was awarded to Polat LLC in November 2013.

5. The first bi-annual environmental monitoring report covered the period 1st March to 31st August 2011 (Section A only). Subsequent bi-annual environmental monitoring reports covered the following periods:

• Second: 1st September 2011 to 31st May 20123.

• Third: 1st June 2011 to 31st December 2012.

• Fourth: 1st January 2013 to 30th June 2013.

• Fifth: 1st July 2013 to 31st December 2013.

• Sixth: 1st January 2014 to 30th June 2014.

• Seventh: 1st July 2014 to 31st December 2014.

• Eighth: 1st January to 30th June 2015.

• Ninth: 1st July 2015 to 31st December 2015.

• Tenth: 1st January 2016 to June 2016.

• Eleventh: 1st July 2016 to 31st December 2016.

• Twelfth: 1st January 2017 to 30th June 2017.

6. From the Fifth issue onwards, the report has been split according to loan source into two; Part I, covering Section A and Lenkaran Bridge (Loan 2354 AZE), and Part II, covering Sections B & C (Loan 2831 AZE).

1 Formerly called “The Road Transport Service Department” (The change of name took effect on 22nd February 2007), and then called Azeri Road Service from 2007 to 2015.

2 Screening was carried out according to ADB’s Environment Policy and Operations Manual (OM) 20. The project was classified as Category A, principally due to the anticipated resettlement issues triggering the ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (1995).

3 Due to the extended period of inactivity during the winter season, and so that the present report includes the results of the ADB mid-term review


7. Key milestones relating to mobilisation are summarised below:

• Overall Contract agreement: 15th Dec 2010.

• The Engineer mobilised on 21st February 2011.

• Section B Contract Agreement: 29th March 2013.

• Notice to Commence for Section B was issued on 18th June 2013.

• Earthworks began on Section B in August 2013.

• Section C Contract Agreement: 31st October 2013.

• Notice to Commence for Section C was issued on 27th January 2014.

B. Objectives of Biannual Environmental Reporting

8. The purpose of the Biannual Environmental Monitoring Reports is to provide a summary of the key issues relating to environmental management over the past six months. The summary includes an update on overall project progress, the status of SSEMP implementation, any progress made with environmental management, environmental monitoring results, and other relevant issues such as non-compliance and corrective actions, and monitoring of the Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM).

9. The Reports are prepared by AAY and are intended to inform ADB and any other interested parties of the status of environmental management of the project. The Reports are summaries; more detailed information is included in the monthly and quarterly reports prepared by the Contractors and the Engineer.

C. Methodology

10. The Biannual Environmental Monitoring Reports are prepared by reviewing and extracting key information from a number of sources, as follows:

• Contractors’ Quarterly Environmental Management Reports;

• Contractors’ Grievance Registers;

• Engineer’s Quarterly and Monthly Progress Reports;

• Engineer’s Environmental Specialist’s Field Reports;

• Monthly instrumented monitoring results;

• Ad Hoc reports from the Contractors on training and public consultation; and

• Correspondence between AAY, Engineer and Contractors relating to environmental and social issues.

11. In addition, some information and opinion in the reports results from site visits, technical meetings and public meetings and interviews over the preceding six months.

D. Construction Activities and Project Progress dur ing previous six months

12. Key milestones and construction activities relating to the past six months’ work are summarised below:

E. Project organization and environmental managemen t team

13. There has been no change to the organization of the environmental management team within the Contractors, Engineer or the Owner (AAY) over the past six months. For completeness, the Contractors’ organisational structures are shown below.

Figure 1: Section B Contractor’s Management Structu re

Figure 2: Section C Contractor’s Management Structu re


F. Relationships with Contractors, owner, lender, e tc.

14. The relationships between contractors, Engineer, Owner, and Lender are considered normal working relationships.

15. At the working level, communication with regards to environmental issues remains good.


II. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

A. Status

Section B

16. Regular monthly monitoring has been carried out in accordance with the SSEMP throughout the current reporting period, with the exception of at the Hirkan Forest, where only sampling set was taken (June 2017) during the reporting period.

17. The sampling has been carried out by Platan Group, who then send the samples for analysis at the Central Laboratory of the Ministry of Ecology and National Resources of Azerbaijan.

Section C

18. Regular monthly monitoring has been carried out in accordance with the SSEMP throughout the current reporting period.

19. The sampling has been carried out by Platan Group, who then send the samples for analysis at the Central Laboratory of the Ministry of Ecology and National Resources of Azerbaijan.

B. Results

Section B

20. Most water quality monitoring results met the Azeri national standards during the present reporting period, however several results contravened the standards. The contraventions as well as some further observations on the results are discussed below: The full results are provided in Appendix 1.

• pH readings were within the limits at all locations for most of the reporting period, with the following exceptions:

o The Lakar and Ogru Rivers were rather acidic during January; and

o The Gamishli River was rather acidic during May.

o As has been the case in the past, the downstream readings generally show a slightly higher pH than upstream readings, indicating that the acidic conditions are not as a result of the project works.

• DO was below the permitted lower threshold of the Azeri standards for the majority of the reporting period. This has occurred often on all sections and is not considered a significant issue due to the high variability of DO within aquatic environments, and the multiple factors that influence levels, even on a daily basis.

• Turbidity was lower at most locations and at most times in comparison to both the pre-construction monitoring and to previous reporting periods, and were well below the applicable limits. Strangely, TSS levels, whilst often low, have sometimes been fairly high at the same time that turbidity has been low (e.g. May 2017). Whilst a strong linear correlation between turbidity and TSS usually exists, and could point to sampling/analysis errors, certain conditions can lead to a reduction in the strength of the correlation.


• Nitrates / Nitrites and other major ions are well below the standards at all locations, and oil and grease levels are constant throughout the reporting period at a very low level, well below the limits.

• As is usual for the project area due to the prevailing lack of sewage treatment, the faecal coliform levels at all stations are generally high (but below the standards). The project is not thought to be responsible for the continued elevated levels.

21. The water monitoring results for the stream bordering the Hirkan Forest Area continue to be of concern, with very high faecal coliform levels. It remains clear that these results are due to the use of the boundary stream by the adjacent village as both a sewer and a waste dumping area.

22. All air quality monitoring results for all determinants and all monitoring stations were well below Azeri national standards during the present reporting period. As would be expected, dust levels rose slightly throughout the monitoring period, in sync with the changing seasons, however they remained below the limits even in June. Air quality at Hirkan Forest remained very good during the single monitoring event.

23. Noise and vibration monitoring results were all below the permitted limits during the reporting period. Noise levels were approaching the limits at Yuxari Nuvadi at times, but, as has been discussed in previous reports, the principal noise sources in this area are not project-related.

Section C

24. Most water quality monitoring results met the Azeri national standards during the present reporting period, however several results contravened the standards. The contraventions as well as some further observations on the results are discussed below: The full results are provided in Appendix 1.

• pH fluctuated considerably between the sampling months, but not much between stations. This suggests that factors such as temperature and rainfall may have been the major influence in variation of pH.

• As with the previous reporting period, BOD, turbidity and TSS were generally low though one reading at one location (Penser 1, downstream in April) was ever so slightly over the limit for TSS.

• Sulphates, Nitrates / Nitrites and oil and grease results are all well below the standards at all locations.

• Faecal coliform levels remain generally rather high at all stations, as they have been on all sections of the project throughout.

25. All air quality monitoring results for all determinants and all monitoring stations were below Azeri national standards during the present reporting period, and as with Section B, dust levels rose slightly during the latter months.

26. Noise and vibration monitoring results were all below the permitted limits during the reporting period. In common with Section B, noise levels were approaching the limits at Yuxari Nuvadi on occasion, but, as has been discussed in previous reports, the principal noise sources in this area are not project-related.


C. Action

27. No action on site is required on either Section B or Section C in response to the monitoring results from the present reporting period.


III. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

A. Status

28. Environmental management of the project for the Section B is described in two parts; one covers general project activities and the second is dedicated to works around Hirkan forest area. This is due to the sensitivity and importance of the area requiring special attention.

Section B

29. With occasional exceptions, environmental management on Section B has continued to be of an acceptable standard during the present reporting period, and has improved somewhat since the previous reporting period. Any non-compliances noted during site audits are usually resolved quickly (see Part D below) however, repetitions of similar non-compliances have continued during the present reporting period.

30. The physical mitigation measures set out in the SSEMP are generally all constructed and functioning as designed (with the exception of the asphalt plant – see Part D below). General cleanliness and waste management has improved since the previous reporting period.

31. On the alignment environmental management was compliant with the SSEMP, and the site was clean, tidy, and well maintained. The situation was improved over previous reporting periods, and there were no isolated problems of waste management as have been frequently observed in the past. Unusually, no Health and Safety problems were observed, despite significant works being carried out.

32. The local road crossings along Section B have still not been completed and asphalted, however the situation is improved compared to the previous reporting period, during which several of the local roads and crossing points were observed to be non-compliant. During the present reporting period, all local roads crossing the alignment, whilst not tarred, were well graded and compacted, and were therefore passable.

33. The road through Haftoni village has been improved via filling of the potholes, but still requires a more permanent fix; this will presumably be included within the overall surfacing work for the local road crossing, which now passes over the new bridge (Figure 3). The fact that the Section B camp can now be accessed directly from the project road should now mean that traffic through Haftoni will be minimal from hereon in.

Figure 3: Local road now passes over the project ro ad in Haftoni, but is not yet surfaced (L), and patched local road in Haftoni (R)


34. There have been no accidents during the reporting period involving the public, and none involving project workers. HIV and other on the job training has continued regularly throughout the reporting period.

35. The sole borrow pit operated by the Section B Contractor is Qrunba, situated just to the west of the project alignment to the south of Haftoni village. The borrow pit is no longer being exploited by the Contractor, however the current status with respect to ownership/licencing is unclear; it is understood that the local executive powers wish to continue to operate the site as a borrow pit for other projects/requirements, and have therefore prevented the Contractor from carrying out reinstatement activities.

36. No topsoil has been stripped during the present reporting period. Most of the material previously stockpiled at locations along the RoW is now being used for final reshaping and reinstatement alongside the road shoulder.

37. The issue of stockpiles and reinstatement will be closely examined during the next, final report.

Hirkan Forest area

38. During the previous audit, it was observed that the embankment and asphalting was complete at the “Hirkan Forest” area, with only installation of road furniture and the installation of permanent noise barriers remaining to be carried out. During the present reporting period, there has been little further progress. Likewise, previous audits reported that the forest was recovering well from the clearance and drainage works, and that ecological recovery continues, and again, the situation remains unchanged (Figure 4). Regretfully, the local population continues to use the SE corner of the forest as a rubbish dump, and has dammed the stream.

Figure 4: “Hirkan Forest” Ecological Recovery (L) a nd unfortunate damming of the stream (R)

39. Other than the issues described above, which are outside the control and responsibilities of the Contractor, environmental management in the Hirkan Forest area is good.


Section C

40. The Section C Contractor’s site performance remains good, and is largely compliant with the provisions of the SSEMP. As usual, the Contractor has made some efforts over the past months to address the non-compliances that were observed during the previous site audits, and in general, environmental management was of a comparatively good standard.

41. As with Section B, the works on the alignment have advanced well over the past six months, and all works observed on site during audits were being carried out in adherence to the SSEMP.

42. In common with Section B, the diversion/local road crossings remain generally unpaved, but were found to be in passable condition.

43. There have been no accidents during the reporting period involving the public, and none involving project workers. HIV and other on the job training has continued regularly throughout the reporting period.

44. The Contractor’s “office camp” (in Burjali village) is generally very well managed. The camp area is clean and tidy, senior staff accommodation is of a good standard, and the welding area is well equipped. Health and safety standards are also good.

Figure 5: Good Conditions at the “office camp” in B urjali village

45. At the Contractor’s “plant camp” (at km 33+000 / Yuxari Nuvadi village), the facilities are of a good standard in general, and most non-compliances previously observed have been satisfactorily solved, though one new non-compliance arose, and this is discussed further in Part D below. As with the “office camp”, the Contractor generally resolved any problems raised by the Engineer within an acceptable timeframe.

46. The sole borrow pit operated by the Section C Contractor is Rvo, situated around 10 km west of Lenkaran, alongside the Lenkaran River and close to the Lerik highway. The borrow pit is no longer being exploited by the Contractor, however as is common in the area, the local executive powers have granted use of the site to more than one contractor/company. Reinstatement of the site is therefore challenging, due to its ongoing use by third parties.

47. It should be noted that all required local and national level permits were obtained prior to the opening/operation of each borrow pit in Sections B and C, and furthermore, stand-alone borrow pit management plans were developed to ensure adequate environmental management during opening, operation and closure of the sites.


48. The reinstatement status described above and for Section B, whilst not satisfactory from a best practice standpoint, are entirely within the bounds of the national environmental management and legal systems, which devolve most management and decision-making to the local executive powers.

49. No topsoil has been stripped during the present reporting period. Most of the material previously stockpiled at locations along the RoW is now being used for final reshaping and reinstatement alongside the road shoulder.

50. The issue of stockpiles and reinstatement will be closely examined during the next, final report.

B. Documents

Section B

51. Reporting for Section B is compliant, with the Quarterly Environmental Reports and weekly audits being carried out/submitted correctly and on time. An inspection of site documentation in May 2017 showed that all relevant paperwork, including the Grievance Register, was present at the site office, and maintained up to date.

Figure 6: Inspection of Paperwork on Section B

Section C

52. Inspection showed that Section C reporting and paperwork is similarly compliant as with Section B.


C. Inspections and Audits

53. There were no inspections or audits from the ADB’s international staff during the present reporting period, however ADB national specialists visited the site on several occasions.

54. The Section B & C contractor’s EPMs conduct ad hoc site visits on a daily basis, with a full audit of all sites once a week.

55. The Engineer’s National Environmental Specialist is based at the Section C camp area and he visits all sites on a twice-weekly basis, with additional ad hoc visits as required. The Engineer’s National Environmental Specialist also accompanies the Section B & C contractor’s EPMs on their site audits.

56. During the present reporting period The Engineer’s International Environmental Specialist visited construction sites between the 12th-14th May 2017.

57. The Executing Agency has made a number of ad hoc visits to site as required.

D. Non-Compliance and Corrective Actions

Section B

58. The Contractor has again significantly advanced the construction works on site over the past six months, and has mainly done so within the bounds of the SSEMP; works on the alignment were generally compliant, and the site was for the most part kept clean, tidy, and well maintained. As has been discussed in the preceding sections, the overall level of management has been improved over the past six months when compared to the previous reporting period.

59. The general situation at the construction camp was improved since the previous audit, with equipment stored in a good fashion and most of the previous non-compliances addressed satisfactorily. These efforts include:

• Closing up and reinstating the area in the eastern corner of the camp where the septic tanks were previously leaking;

• The cleaning of the oil storage area, which was observed to be in a better condition than previously (Figure 7);

• Bunding repairs (Figure 8); and

• Removal of large quantities of equipment and waste previously reported at the site.

60. Nevertheless, some non-compliances did arise during the reporting period:

• The prime coat asphalt plant located adjacent to the vehicle wash station was observed to have breaches in the bund where pipes pass through it, and a bitumen tank was located both outside the bund, and below ground level, where the opportunity for ground and water contamination is present (Figure 9);

• The bund wall at the main asphalt plant that was previously observed to have significant breaches was repaired, however a new breach appeared; and

• Fire extinguisher checks again revealed failures (Figure 9).

61. The above issues were addressed with varying levels of satisfaction, and follow up in some areas is ongoing.

Figure 9: Unpressurised fire extinguisher (L) and n on-compliant asphalt storage (R)


Hirkan Forest Area

62. There were no non-compliances observed at the Hirkan Forest area during the present reporting period. As described in preceding sections, the embankment and road works are now completed in the area, and the temporary noise barriers have been removed. Ecological recovery appears to be progressing well.

Environmental Management Issues

Section C

63. The Section C Contractor’s site performance remains good, and is largely compliant with the provisions of the SSEMP. As always, the Contractor has made an effort over the past months to address the non-compliances that were observed during the previous reporting period, and only a few new minor non-compliances were noted.

64. No significant problems were noted on the alignment during the present reporting period.

Figure 10: Good Conditions on the Section C Alignme nt

65. The outstanding non-compliances at the two construction camps from the previous visit were inspected; some were found to have been resolved (for example the labourer accommodation had been somewhat improved) and only one notable non-compliance was observed during the present reporting period; whilst the previously observed breaches in the asphalt plant bund wall had been repaired (Figure 11), elsewhere in the bund, pipes had been passed through the bund wall at low-level (Figure 12). This clearly negates the purpose of the bund and required immediate attention.

Figure 12: New bund problems at the Section C Aspha lt Plant (L) though fuel storage area was generally in excellent order (R)

66. The concrete plant, workshop, crushing area and oil change area were all in good condition and operating very well. Overall, both the “office camp” and the “plant camp” were in good condition and substantially compliant with the provisions of the SSEMP.

E. Consultations and Complaints

Section B

67. Previous reports discussed changes to the public consultation meeting format and frequency, which were aimed at making them more meaningful. Despite sustained pressure from the Engineer on the Contractor, the quality of the public consultations has not been significantly improved. This is entirely attributable to a lax attitude from the EPM, and the situation is a disappointment.

68. Despite the above disappointment, consultation meetings were held on the 2nd March (Dasdaligjar village) and 11th June 2017 (Haftoni and Laj villages), and they offered a chance to update local community leaders on the progress of the works and the expected finishing dates, and to remind them of the grievance redress mechanism.

Figure 13: Public Consultations (L: 2 nd March; R: 11 th June)

69. Lists of the participants were provided to the Engineer within monthly and quarterly reports, and these are provided in Appendix 2, along with the Minutes of Meeting.

70. One new grievance was lodged during the present reporting period. The complaint related to deterioration of local roads, and the grievance was addressed by the Contractor. A summary of all grievances to date and how they were resolved is provided in Table 5 below.


Section C

71. The current situation regarding public consultations is the same for Section C as it is for Section B.

72. Two consultation meetings were held during the present reporting period – on the 7th March and 12th June 2017, both with Yuxari Nuvadi village.

Figure 14: Public Consultation (12 th June)

73. Lists of the participants were provided to the Engineer within monthly and quarterly reports, and these are provided in Appendix 2, along with the Minutes of Meeting.

74. Two new grievances were reported on Section C during the past six months. These grievances were recorded outside of the consultation meetings, and related to the blocking of access by the works. A summary of all grievances to date and their status is provided in Table 6 below.

G. Conclusions

77. The past six months have been a period of intense construction activity for both Section B and C contractors. During this period, both contractors maintained a generally good level of environmental management, have maintained their documentation in good order, and have avoided accidents and incidents.

78. Only a handful of non-compliances observed, and these were all restricted to the camp areas. The gradual completion of the road sections, and in particular the diversion/crossing roads, will reduce negative impacts such as airborne dust and traffic noise affecting local populations.

79. The Hirkan Forest area has been in a good condition during the present monitoring period, during which there has been little change from the previous six months.

80. The requested improvements to public consultations for both Sections have not been made, despite repeated attempts.

81. The focus in the coming months will be on ensuring that the required permanent environmental mitigation measures are correctly installed by the contractors, and that site reinstatement is correctly carried out.
