1 Introduction

The Government of Pakistan aims to increase the share of coal-based generation from almostnone in 2016 to 15% over the next few years. In support of this initiative Jamshoro PowerCompany Limited (JPCL) and Genco Holding Company (GENCO), supported by the AsianDevelopment Bank (ADB), is planning a brownfield extension of the Jamshoro Power Station inorder to improve the total plant efficiency and increase the power output from the Plant. Theproject is known as the Jamshoro Power Generation Project (JPGP).

The project site is approximately 20km northwest of Hyderabad, and about 150km northeast ofKarachi in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. The lndus River is about 3.5km east of the powerplant site. Currently there are four fossil fuel-fired electricity generating units installed andoperating at the site (Unit 1 is oil fired and Units 2 – 4 have dual-fuel capability (oil/gas)).

JPGP is proposed to initially comprise of 1x660MW (net) supercritical power plant with facilitiesto expand to 2x660MW plants. The project aims to decrease the existing power shortfall inPakistan and address environmental concerns from the existing oil-fired power units. The newboiler(s) will be designed to utilise imported sub-bituminous coal blended at 80/20 with locallignite as its fuel.

As part of the feasibility study for the project and as required by the ADB an environmental auditwas undertaken of the existing plant. The audit was included as part of the environmental andsocial impact assessment (ESIA) for the 2x660MW supercritical power plant (EnvironmentalImpact Assessment; Jamshoro Power Generation Project; Hagler Bailly Pakistan, October 292013 (the ESIA report)). Section 6 of the ESIA report (Issues Related to Existing Plant andCorrective Actions) identified several items related to the existing plant that require remediationor rehabilitation.

The items that were identified are subject to a loan condition applied by ADB that requires theidentified remediation works to have a signed contract in place prior to commencement of workson the site associated with the new facility (660MW supercritical power plant).

Currently (end of July 2017) JPGP is in the early implementation stage with the followingactivities underway:

(i) Final Technical Proposals for construction and operation of the 2x660MW (gross)supercritical power plant have been received and are under evaluation. It iscurrently envisaged that the Contracts will be awarded by fourth quarter of 2017.

(ii) The following tender packages associated with rehabilitation and remediation ofsome aspects of the existing oil-fired plant have been issued, proposals receivedand contracts awarded:a. Lot 1 – rehabilitation of evaporation pondsb. Lot 2 – rehabilitation of cooling tower/blow-down water drainage channelc. Lot 3 – residential colony municipal waste facility

Work is in progress on these Lots.

(iii) The following tender packages associated with rehabilitation and remediation ofsome aspects of the existing oil-fired plant have been issued and proposals arebeing assessed:



a. Lot 4 – hazardous waste disposal facility and hazardous waste collection anddisposal

b. Lot 5 - residential colony municipal wastewater treatment plantc. Lot 6 – remediation of oil contaminated soils – However this work can only be

undertaken once the Power Plant oil transfer polluting process ceases.

This report is the fifth semi-annual environmental monitoring report for the project covering theperiod from January 2017 to June 2017. Subsequent semi-annual reports will be reconfiguredas necessary to reflect activities and available information as the project develops.

1.1 Environmental management

The ESIA study and subsequent ESIA report for the proposed 2x660MW power plant weredeveloped for the Asian Development Bank and include reference to Pakistan nationalstandards and regulatory requirements and international guidelines including ADBs SafeguardPolicy Statement (2009) and the World Bank/International Finance Corporation Environment,Health and Safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants (2008) (IFC EHS guidelines).International treaties that Pakistan is a signatory to are also considered.

The EIA report correctly identifies that both Pakistan national environmental quality standards(NEQS) and IFC EHS guidelines will have to be complied with. In operation this means that themost stringent of the NEQA and IFC EHS Guidelines environmental limits/standards/guidelineswill have to be complied with (with the exception of ambient air quality standards where nationalstandards, where they exist, take precedence over IFC EHS guidelines).

A gap analysis with respect to draft bidding documents and technical specifications wasprepared by the PIC and a number of items were identified that were included in the technicalrequirements for the 2x660MW supercritical power plant when the tender documents wereissued.



2 Environmental monitoring andmanagement

2.1 Environmental monitoring and management overviewAt the time of compiling this report (July 2017) three work packages were under progress:

· Lot 1– Evaporation pond renovation· Lot 2 – Blow-down channel renovation· Lot 3 – Municipal solid waste disposal facility

Lot 1 and Lot 2 have been awarded to Sachal Engineering Works (Pvt) Ltd (Sachal).Construction environmental management plans have been developed and approved for bothlots. The approved CEMPs include details of scheduled environmental monitoring during theconstruction process. At the time of developing this report work on Lot 2 was on hold whileaccess to the worksites was being agreed with neighbouring landowners. Lot 2 is not reportedfurther in this report; it is anticipated that work will recommence in Q3 2017. Monitoring ofenvironmental parameters for Lot 1 are summarised in this report. The monitoring reportprepared by Sachal is attached as Appendix A.

Lot 3 has been awarded to a consortium of Mian Abdul Jabbar & Co and Indus Construction Co(MAJ ICC). A construction environmental management plan has been developed for Lot 3 andupdates have been requested by the project implementation consultant (PIC). Monitoring ofenvironmental parameters for Lot 3 are summarised in this report. The monitoring reportprepared by MAJ ICC is attached as Appendix B.

It should be noted that this is the first reporting period during which activities have beenundertaken that require monitoring and reporting; as such it is envisaged that feedback will begiven to contractors and information reported will develop over forthcoming reporting periods.

2.2 Summary of environmental monitoring during reporting period

2.2.1 Lot 1 – Rehabilitation of evaporation ponds

Lot 1 involves clearing four existing evaporation ponds of heavy vegetation growth andsediment deposits that have built up over many years of use. Repairs are then to be carried outto any damage to the structure of the ponds and associated infrastructure as necessary to makethe ponds functional. Mechanical excavators, dozers and haulage trucks, tractors and trailersare all used for removing and transporting material. Excavated material is deposited at adesignated site within the JPCL site. The information reported here is extracted from thecontractor’s (Sachal) ‘Bi Annual Environmental Monitoring and Management Report;Rehabilitation of Effluent Ponds. Feb – July 2017’.

The following parameters are monitored and reported:

(a) Ambient air quality(b) Traffic safety(c) Noise Levels(d) Surface water and soil(e) Waste management(f) Cultural heritage management(g) Occupational health and safety



Many of the parameters are monitored visually on an ongoing basis and reported qualitatively.Where quantitative data is available it is reported here.

a) Ambient air quality. Taken primarily as dust, visual assessments are made and watersprays are used to control dust levels routinely and in response to observed excessivedust levels. No excessive dust issues have been reported during the reporting period.

b) Traffic safety. Traffic safety is controlled on site by imposing speed limits andinstructions to drivers. Traffic activity is routinely monitored by environment, health andsafety personnel on site. No adverse traffic related incidents have been reported duringthe reporting period.

c) Noise levels. Noise is monitored on site from a health and safety perspective.Monitoring data is reported in Table 3.3.1 and Table 3.3.2 of the contactors bi-annualenvironmental report for Lot 1 in Appendix A. No breaches of the 85dB health andsafety noise limits were recorded during the reporting period. Noise monitoring isreported in Table 1 and Table 2.

d) Surface water and soil. Samples of surface water and soils from the evaporation pondswere taken and analysed. No exceedances of prescribed standards are reported.

e) Waste management. Solid waste is reported to be collected and disposed of in adesignated municipal disposal site.

f) Cultural heritage management. During excavations, continual observations are made toidentify culturally important artefacts and a ‘chance-finds’ procedure is included in theconstruction environmental management plan (CEMP). Given the nature of the activitieson Lot 1 it is considered unlikely that any culturally important artefacts will be present.



g) Occupational health and safety. Health and Safety statistics are recorded and reportedin Sachal’s bi-annual environmental report and are shown in Table 3

During the next reporting period it is anticipated that Lot 1 will proceed with detailed design ofrepairs to the evaporation ponds and commencement of the repairs.

2.2.2 Lot 3 – Municipal solid waste disposal facility

Lot 3 involves the design and construction of a municipal solid waste facility for the housingcolony, removing municipal waste from the housing colony and depositing in the newlyconstructed facility and capacity building for JPCL employees and colony residents on thehandling and disposal of municipal waste. The information reported here is extracted from thecontractor’s (MAJIIC) Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report; Project Site RemediationPackage (Lott-3). July 2017. The monitoring report prepared by MAJICC is attached asAppendix B.

Lot 3 is in the early stages of development. During the reporting period the following activitieshave been undertaken:

1. Initial segregation of waste has taken place on site2. An awareness programme for residents of the colony has been initiated3. Drinking water quality sampling and analysis has been undertaken with analysis being

undertaken by the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources Water QualityLaboratory. All measured parameters were reported as being within acceptable(WHO/EU) limits

4. Groundwater quality sampling and analysis was undertaken by PCSIR Laboratories,Karachi. Both samples recorded elevated E. coli levels with sample 2 taken betweenblocks 12 and 13 recording a level of 1100 CFU/dl. The elevated levels are likely to bedue to the proximity of septic tanks in the colony and may indicate that the septic tanksare leaking. Ground and surface water will have to be handled appropriately duringconstruction of the solid waste disposal facility to avoid adverse impacts on workers,residents of the colony and contamination of soils and groundwater.

5. Toolbox talks have been undertaken for company staff on site. Subjects covered arejungle cutting, proper use of PPE and geotechnical investigations.

As Lot 3 progresses more detailed environmental reporting is expected to be reported.

During the next reporting period MAJICC report that they will undertake the following tasks:

· Awareness programmes



· Installation of dustbins· Collection of MSW· Transportation of MSW· Segregation of MSW at site· Drinking and ground water quality monitoring· Air quality monitoring· Noise pollution assessment during excavation work

It is anticipated that Lot 3 will progress to detailed design of the municipal waste disposal facilityduring the next reporting period.



3 Actions during the next reporting period

During the forthcoming period (July to December 2017) the following actions are anticipated:

● Financial Bids will be received from bidders for the 2x660MW power plant construction andoperation packages, once the Final Technical bid Evaluation is complete

● Execution of lots 1, 2 and 3 for the remediation/rehabilitation packages will continue on site● Contracts for Lots 4, and 5 for the remediation/rehabilitation packages will be awarded● Lot 6 (bio-remediation of oil contaminated soil) will be awarded subject to cessation of oil

1.1 Project Description The Jamshoro site is about 20 km northwest of Hyderabad, and about 150 km northeast of Karachi. The Indus River flows about 3.5 km east of the site. Highway N-55, also known as the Indus Highway, runs through the site and has immediate access to the national railway, allowing for the easy delivery of equipment, fuel and other materials. The Jamshoro site consists of four (4) existing fossil fired electricity generating units. Unit 1 (U1) is fired by heavy fuel oil (HFO) with an original nominal rating of 250MW. U1 was originally commissioned in 1990. Units 2 to 4 are dual fuel (oil and gas) fired with an original nominal rating of 210MW (each). Units 2 to 4 were commissioned in 1989,1990 and 1991 respectively. Plant effluents from existing plant including boiler blowdown, laboratory waste, plant washing waste water, and water drainage from cooling towers are led to the existing 4 effluent evaporation ponds. These evaporation ponds are now completely filled with sludge, silt and clay along with wild bushes and vegetation growth. The evaporation ponds are to be cleared of wild bushes and vegetation. The existing evaporation ponds and associated channels are to be cleaned. The silt/sludge is to be taken out from the evaporation ponds required levels mentioned in as built/tender drawing and will be dumped to the Water Pre Treatment Area (WPTA) south of Evaporation Ponds within the power plant premises. The discarding of silt and sludge shall comply with the applicable provisions within the EIA.

1.2 Project Background

Plant effluents from existing plant including boiler blowdown, laboratory waste, plant washing waste water, and water drainage from cooling towers are led to the existing 4 effluent evaporation ponds.

reduce the negative impacts which may arise from the project activities. To control the

adverse impacts on ambient air quality, traffic safety, noise levels, Surface water and soil,

waste management, cultural heritage management and occupational health & safety of all

personnel on site. The Sachal is regularly monitoring and managing its construction site

by implementing the approved CEMP. The daily, weekly and monthly environmental

inspection records are up to date and have been checked by MML representatives.

Precisely the following pre-determined parameters as indicated below are being regularly

monitored subsequent management program has also taken under consideration for

successful completion of the project.

(a) Ambient air quality

3.0 Impact on Environmental Parameters during construction phase

3.1 Ambient Air Quality

During the construction activities vehicles are carrying employees and tools to the site.

Construction equipment, such as stone (aggregate) crushers is not being used at the site

which could create significant emission of particulate matters. Since rehabilitation of

evaporation ponds would most likely involve significant earth works, increase in particulate

matter in the air from wind-blown dust is also a concern, especially considering the close

proximity of the villages (Local stake holders) to the project site. Ambient Air Quality was

monitored by daily and weekly environmental inspections at site.

3.2 Traffic Safety During project activities vehicle movement is a huge risk to environment as well as the personnel health on site for reducing the risk we put speed limit signs at different roads and drivers are instructed to follow the speed limits strictly. Furthermore, Environmental and health and safety inspections are carried out on regular basis to make sure that the controls are in place and complied properly. 3.3 Noise Levels During project activities, major source of noise is expected to be generated from transport

vehicles which include cranes excavator, trucks, LTVs etc. Regular inspections of all

equipment and vehicles are carried out to make sure the noise levels are below 85 db.

4.0 Mitigation measures

4.1 Air Quality

To reduce the generation of dust owing to movement of construction materials

including vehicles, regular water spray are being accomplished at construction site.

Movement of construction debris are being covered while hauled and stored, roads

properly cleaned and water sprayed in order to minimize dust in air. To reduce

generation of dust the stone crusher and batching plant have not been allowed at

construction site.

4.2 Water Quality

The camp is outside the project boundary and from that place possible management

has been ensured to avoid any contamination of any sort around the project boundary.

During the day time, small quantity of office waste is generated (approximately 2kg)

per day which is properly disposed-off through designated municipal corporation

locations.

4.3 Noise Level

Use equipment i.e., designed with noise-control provision;

Route truck traffic away from noise-sensitive areas, where feasible;

Unnecessary vehicle movement has been avoided at project site;

Switch off the engines while remain unused.

4.4 OHS at project site

Personal Safety Equipment (PSE): Use appropriate personal protection equipment,

such as safety boots, helmets, gloves, protective clothing, goggles and ear protection

to comply HSE obligation during construction phase.

1. Introduction

1.1. General Information About the Back Ground of Project

The Government of Pakistan (GoP) is planning to set up a super-critical coal fired power plant at

Jamshoro (the ‘Jamshoro Power Generation Project’ or the ‘Project’) to be financed by the Asian

Development Bank (ADB). The power plant will be setup within the premises of the existing Jamshoro

Thermal Power Station (JTPS). The gross generation capacity of the Project will be 660 MW in the

First Stage and 1,320 MW after expansion. The plant will be owned and operated by the Jamshoro

Power Company Limited (JPCL), the implementing agency of the Project.

The JTPS staff housing colony generates an estimated 750 1tons of solid waste annually. As there is

no proper disposal system, the waste is scattered around the colony. There is currently no solid

waste management system in place at the power plant either to manage waste generated in the plant

offices. The waste dumps can be seen in different location of the plant and the colony. There is no

municipal solid waste disposal facility available in the vicinity of the plant where the waste can be sent

for disposal. Aspects resulting from improper solid waste management are:

Contamination of surface and sub-surface soil by leaching from the dumps

Contamination of surface water in case of runoff

Transportation of contamination from leaching to the ground water aquifer

Possible attraction of scavengers to the solid waste dumps

Attraction of pests to the waste dumps resulting in spread of disease vectors

General nuisance and odor.

To overcome these issues, the mitigation measures are required which include:

Collection of waste on daily basis from the colony houses and office premises of the plant

Placement of bins in the key area with proper labelling for the type of waste to be thrown in the bin

and segregation of waste

Awareness campaigns on municipal waste management including segregation, reuse and recycling

A properly designed landfill to cater for the plant needs will be developed.

1.2. Project Location

The JTPS is located north of Jamshoro town in the Jamshoro district of Sindh province, Pakistan. The

power plant is about 10 kilometer (km) northwest of Hyderabad and about 150 km northeast of Karachi.

It is located on N-55, also known as Indus Highway. N-55 is one of the two main highways of the country

which connect Karachi, the main port and industrial hub of the country, with the rest of the country.

2. Activities that Have Been Undertaken During The Reporting Period

Following activities have been performed from January to June 2017.

Segregation of municipal solid waste at site

Awareness program

Water quality analysis

All these are discussed as under:

2.1. Segregation of Solid Waste at Site

As proposed landfill site has remained as a dumping site of MSW for thermal power house colony since

many years. At site, different components of MSW (such as glass, plastic waste, cloth waste wood

waste etc) have been found that have been segregated according to their nature and stored for further

usage as shown in Figure 2.1.

Figure.2.1 Segregation of different components of MSW

2.2. Awareness Program

Raising awareness about municipal solid waste management is a critical component of effective waste

management. It is important for key stakeholders to be aware of a city’s waste management activities

36

and have a strong understanding of the benefits of proper solid waste management. Following are the

main objectives of awareness program.

To motivate the local people to practice 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and recycle)

To develop the sense of commitment among people to protect the environment

To imbibe among people the essence of environmental values and ethics and live in harmony with

nature a God’s gift.

Awareness program regarding proper management of MSW was initiated among the residents of the

colony. Followings figures show the awareness regarding benefits of proper management of MSW and

draw backs of improper management of MSW.

2.3. Water Quality Analysis

Drinking and ground water quality were analysed as discussed below.

2.3.1. Drinking Water Quality

Water is one of the most essential elements to health and is so important that human body actually has

a specific drought management system in place to prevent dehydration and ensure survival. Water

might be everywhere, but one must never take it for granted. Water makes up more than two thirds of

human body weight, and without water, we would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of

95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. Water serves as a lubricant in digestion and almost all other

body processes. Our bodies can control over-heating through perspiration from sweat glands in the skin

and from evaporation which produces a cooling effect. Blood is also routed into areas close to the

surface of the skin where it can be cooled and then carried back to the interior of the body. Conversing

in a cold environment, the skin maintains proper body temperature by shunting the blood away from the

exterior surface thereby conserving heat within the body. The movement of water within our cellular

systems also transports vital blood plasma which is 92% made of water. Blood plasma play a critical

role in buffering the body’s pH, circulating antibodies from the immune system, and regulating osmotic

balance which all helps to maintain proper body temperature. In this regard, drinking water quality was

analysed in order to meet international as well as national standard and World Health Organization

(WHO) guidelines. Figure 2.3 shows the drinking water quality. At site, clean and fresh water is provided

to every worker. The result regarding water parameter are within the WHO guidelines.

2.3.2. Ground Water Quality

Prior to start any project, it is very important to analyse ground water quality. Figure 2.4 shows the

ground water quality of the site.
