1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Preamble
1. This report represents the Semi-Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR) for
FATA Water Resources Development Project (FWRDP).
2. Design and Construction Supervision Consultants (DCSC) have prepared this Semi-
Annual Environmental Monitoring Report (SAEMR) for Project Management Unit (PMU)
covering period from January 2022 to June 2022. This report fulfils the requirements to
monitor the effectiveness of ADB`s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009, its
implementation and to ensure sound environmental planning. During the environmental
monitoring the gaps/shortcomings in the implementation of environmental safeguards
as per Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 were identified and corrective actions
proposed and recommendations for future course of action provided.
1.2 Headline Information
3. DCSC`s environment team has orientated all the contractors on environmental

compliances as per IEEs/EMPs. The team has observed that environmental
management has improved over the time on subprojects sites. Mutually agreed
Corrective Action Plan is also devised and communicated to the contractors.
Contractors have been advised to address non-compliances as per agreed Corrective
Action Plan. Environment Safeguard Team of consultants includes, an Environment
Specialist, three Environmental Inspectors for looking after the EMP implementation on
different sites in Khyber, Mohmand and Bajaur Districts. Beside this HSE Managers
have been hired by the contractors for dams’ subprojects while for diversion weirs and
infiltration galleries contractors have nominated an engineering staff for implementation
of SSEMP at sites. Therefore, the progress in environmental compliance has been
significantly improved during the reporting period.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES
2.1 Project Description
4. Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Water Resources Development Project

(FWRDP) is operational in the provincial territories of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) at the
western borders of Pakistan with Afghanistan. It focuses on increasing irrigation
supplies in three districts, namely Mohmand, Khyber and Bajaur to increase crop
production and harvest water sustainably. The project is being proposed as a result of
the Water Assessment Study executed under the completed ADB supported FATA
Rural Development Project of former FATA Secretariat. The study identified 40
watersheds where the groundwater aquifers are depleting at a high rate, even under
average weather conditions due to unplanned water extraction for irrigation and other
associated purposes. It recommends shifting from groundwater to surface water, which
remains totally unutilized, and identified potential sites for small reservoir dams and
diversion weirs in the 40 watersheds of Mohmand, Khyber and Bajaur Districts of KP.

5. Project Management Unit (PMU) of FATA Water Resources Development Project

(FWRDP) has screened out thirty-four (34) subprojects for irrigation of agricultural land
under FWRDP. These subprojects have been screened, classified, and assessed
according to ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009 and Pakistan
Environmental Protection Agency Review of IEE/EIA Regulations 2000. Environmental
considerations were assessed for these subprojects. Initial Environmental Examination
(IEEs) and Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) for 34 subprojects were
prepared by Design and Construction Supervision Consultant (DCSC), covered in 24
Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) reports. Out of total 24 IEEs, 20 IEEs were
prepared for individual sub-project while one consolidated IEE covers 8 sub projects
and three IEEs covers two sub projects, respectively. All IEEs were cleared and
disclosed by ADB. Environmental Approvals were received from Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for all IEEs.
6. Presently, 101 subprojects are under construction while twenty-four (24) are
substantially completed. The table below (Exhibit 2) is a representation of each
subproject`s description in terms of environmental safeguards implementation (IEEs
and SSEMPs) as per ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009. Contractors are required
to submit the SSEMP and get an approval from DCSC/PMU 10 days before
commencement of civil works. This was a challenge for DCSC and PMU to comply with
this requirement at the start of the project as the contractor’s capacity to understand
environmental safeguards were not up to the mark as they have worked in erstwhile
FATA and environmental compliance in erstwhile FATA was a hard task and they have
not seen this type of requirement in any contract before FWRDP, but still, we put every
effort to ensure this compliance. As reflected in exhibit 2 the SSEMPs submission and
approval process was improved as compared with the initial subprojects for which
SSEMPs were submitted late.
7. A training session is regularly arranged for newly awarded contracts at DCSC office and
PMU to build the capacity of the contractors and understand the importance of
environmental safeguards implementation during subproject`s execution. Every
contractor is briefed in PMU about the SSEMP and its importance and in the same
session templates and SSEMP guidance handbook is provided to them for their
understanding and convenience.

2.1.1 Construction of Saro Shah Weir
8. The Saro Shah subproject is proposed at Ambahar Khwar. The distance from Ekka
Ghund through District Mohmand Road is 55.5 km to reach weir site. As per site
observation perennial flow of 255 lit/sec (9 cusecs) exist in the khwar. The Saro Shah
subproject is proposed at coordinates of 34.5484° N &71.4502°E.
9. Weir is proposed at Saro Shah to collect water from the khwar and convey it to the
sump. Solar pumps are proposed to lift water from the sump and deliver it to the
command area. It is anticipated that from the scheme, culturable command area of 100
ha will be irrigated at cropping intensity of 126 % and design discharge of 134.1 lit/sec.
Total length of irrigation network is 2.90 km.
10. The project cost is estimated at Rs. 92.530 million and anticipated to take 12 months to
complete. The results of the economic analysis show that the project is economically
Page | 9
viable (EIRR 10.84 %). The financial analysis also indicates the safe investment with
FIRR as 9.43 %.
11. The subproject activities may cause some disturbances to the environment due to
material dumping, machinery work, taking borrow material, setting up of camp areas,
transportation on link roads and necessary facilities for the staff / labour to be engaged
for the subproject. These impacts are mitigated through measures envisaged in EMP.
12. The subproject, based on Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA), is categorized as

“B” as per Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. The
subproject bears site specific impacts of temporary nature.
13. Subproject does not involve any permanent or temporary land acquisition. No
indigenous people and women headed households have been identified in the
subproject area. The other social issues like safety of public and workers, security
problems, risk of communicable diseases, vector borne diseases etc. are of temporary
in nature. Subproject leads to creation of job opportunities particularly for the local
population and socioeconomic uplift through irrigated agriculture.

2.1.2 Construction of CAD of Raghagan Dam
14. Raghagan Dam Project is located across Babukara Khwar, a left bank tributary of
Bajaur Khwar, which ultimately falls into Panjkora River. The dam is located in Salarzai
area of Bajaur District. The villages located in the vicinity of dam are Raghagan,
Charghurai Marusa, Mullah Killi and Qazi Dheri.
15. The coordinates of Raghagan Dam Command Area sites are

S. No. Longitude (m) Latitude (m)
1. 734060.005 3851812.240
2. 736034.496 3848332.633
3. 745827.699 3853889.752
4. 743867.430 3857377.429
16. The project is divided into seven (07) number of chunks totaling gross command area
of 1,113 ha and cultivable command area of 929 ha. This Project includes development
of command area by providing irrigation network from the Raghagan main right and left
irrigation channels though outlets either by lift or through gravity. After the successful
completion of the Raghagan Dam Project, the proposed system under study will be able
to irrigate 929 ha. This project involves construction of secondary distributary system
which is inclusive of primary and secondary water courses/channels having a length of
31.50 km and tertiary distribution system which comprises tertiary water courses having
length of 41.20 km. It is to mention here that due to topography of the command area;
these water courses/channels have allied structures such as stepped fall structures,
aqueducts, syphon’s, road culverts, drainage culverts, sumps for lifting, lifting pipes,
solar panels, accessories, naccas and washing pads etc.
17. The project cost is estimated to be PRs. 430.672 million and is anticipated to take 18
months period to complete. The results of the economic analysis show that the project
is economically viable (EIRR 12.24 %). The financial analysis also indicates the safe
investment with FIRR as 10.21 %.
18. The Kamar Ragha Dag diversion arrangement was proposed on Bajaur Khwar. Kamar
Ragha Dag subproject site is located at a distance of 7 km from Khar through paved
road. As per site observation perennial flow of 1.48 cusec exist in the khwar.
19. Sub-surface Infiltration Gallery was proposed to collect water from the khwar and
convey it to the sump. Solar pumps are proposed to lift water from the sump and deliver
it to the command area. It is anticipated that from the scheme, culturable command area
of 137.6 ha will be irrigated at cropping intensity of 130 % and design discharge of 86.9
lit/sec. Total length of irrigation network is 4.63 km.
Page | 12
20. The subproject cost is estimated Rs. 47.884 million and anticipated to take 12 months
to complete. The results of the economic analysis show that the subproject is
economically viable (EIRR 27.37 %). The financial analysis also indicates the safe
21. At the time of feasibility and detail design of CAD of Raghagan Dam it was learned the
command area of Kamar Ragha Daag falls within the command area of Raghgan Dam
so it was decided that it will be irrigated from the right bank channel of Raghgan dam
which is more feasible option.
22. Kamar Ragha Dag subproject is being executed as Variation Order (VO) of CAD of
Raghagn Dam subproject which is already under construction. Only the source of water
is changed and instead of Bajuar khwar the water from Left Bank Canal of Raghagan
Dam will be lifted through solar system which will irrigate the command area at higher
elevation.
23. The subproject based on Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) is categorized as “B”
as per Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. The
subproject bears site specific impacts of temporary nature and will cause some
disturbances to the local environment during execution like material dumping,
machinery work; borrow material, camp areas and necessary facilities for the staff/
labour to be engaged for the subproject. All the anticipated adverse environmental
impacts of the subproject are mitigatable, temporary in nature and localized which can
be mitigated through implementation of EMP.

2.1.4 Construction of Magoo Dand Dam
28. The Magoo Dand Dam is proposed on Aziz Khwar in Tehsil Bara of Khyber District.
Magoo Dand Dam subproject site is located at a distance of about 37 Km from district
headquarter Jamrud. The proposed Magoo Dand Dam is located at coordinates
71.4756° E and 33.7649°N.
29. A 15 m high and 60 m long Magoo Dand Concrete Gravity Dam with reservoir capacity
of 0.3094 Mm3 and design flood capacity of 97 cumecs is proposed at Magoo Dand
area of Khyber District to collect water from the Aziz khwar and convey it to the barrani
(rain-fed) command area. Cultivable command area of 76 ha will be irrigated at cropping
intensity of 125 % and design discharge of 0.02473 m3/sec (24.73 liter/sec). Total
length of delivery pipe irrigation network is 316 m and 3.195 km respectively.

2.1.5 CAD of Khurshid Dam
32. Khurshid Dam is located at coordinates 34°22'28.9"N 71°35'54.1"E across Nawey Dand
nullah/ khwar, a tributary of Swat River. The subproject is located in Prang Ghar area
about 40 km North East of Ghalani (District Headquarter) of Mohmand District.
33. Irrigation canal on left bank offtake from main dam to irrigate the command area. The
entire canal length of 2.7 km from intake point to tail end is partially choked by eroded
material and damaged at different locations by the local community. Utilizing the water
through solar pumps, at both sides of Khwar, from main reservoir and channel for
irrigating lands at higher elevation is observed in command area. Water conveyance
from dam to the fields is the crux of the project.
34. The major issue with the construction of command area development of Khurshid dam
is blockage of main road when the reservoir rises to normal conservation level (El 434
m) whereas the bed level of stream at river crossing is 432m, in order to make the road
accessible the locals have to drawdown the reservoir which results in water loss of 13
ha-m out of 52 ha-m of reservoir capacity which is approx. 25% loss of water/ benefits.
In order to overcome this issue, the present study includes multi barrel causeway, with
the height of 4.0m, which will result in utilization of top 25% reservoir capacity for the
agricultural benefits.
35. The subproject is divided into five (05) number of chunks totaling command area of 104
ha. This project includes development of command area by providing irrigation network
from the Khurshid irrigation channel though outlet. The proposed system under study
will be able to irrigate 104 ha. This project involves primary (rectangular section),
secondary and tertiary watercourses (Parabolic Precast E types), fall structures,
syphon, road culvert, drainage culverts, sumps, minors through Parabolic Type E,
nacca and washing pads etc.
36. The existing cropping intensity is 70%. Future irrigation intensity of subproject is
proposed as 126%. Total length of main irrigation channel under this subproject is 6.08
km.
37. The subproject cost is estimated to be Rs. 119.772 million and is anticipated to take 12
months period to complete. The results of the economic analysis show that the project
is economically viable (EIRR 12.86 %). The financial analysis also indicates the FIRR
as 10.94 %.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL SAFEGUARDS ACTIVITIES
3.1 General Description of Environmental Safeguards Activities
87. Environment Specialist of DCSC developed weekly environmental monitoring

checklists (see Annex-7 A) for environmental compliance of the subprojects. This
checklist is based on the recommended mitigation measures given in the EMP for
environmental safeguard at different stages of the subprojects. Contractors were
orientated how to fill out the checklist. A checklist for the Semi-Annual Environmental
Monitoring Report has also been formed to analyse the follow up of the ongoing
subprojects (see Annex-2).
88. Environmental Inspector of DCSC conducted environmental safeguard trainings of

contractor’s staff and workers on each subproject with the purpose to build capacity of
the staff in environmental compliance monitoring and in ensuring environmental
safeguards for the subprojects. These trainings focused on EMPs of the subproject,
environmental monitoring checklists, environmental monitoring activities and Health,
Environment and Safety (HSE) of staff and workers. Knowledge on potential hazards
on the site and procedures to avoid such hazards and actions in case of any
incident/accident were communicated to contractor’s staff and workers. Environment
Specialist of DCSC has followed up these trainings by assessing the capacity of
contractors’ staff and workers during site visits.
3.2 Site Audits
89. Contractors are supposed to conduct internal audits and review by their own staff to
ensure a safe, healthy, and secure environment, both physically and behaviourally, for
workers, equipment, property, visitors, and the public. DCSC has undertaken site
inspections of all under execution subprojects. The findings of these inspections are
being updated regularly in monthly environmental monitoring reports. Contractors are
advised to submit weekly environmental monitoring checklists to DCSC and implement
the environmental compliance activities in accordance with the approved IEEs/EMPs
and SSEMPs. Contractors are improving their environmental compliance, yet they slack
in some areas. To ensure implementation of EMP the contractors were asked to
nominate their focal persons/site inspectors who will be responsible for environmental
safeguards implementation for weir sites while for dams’ sub-projects the contractors
have dedicated HSE Managers in their staff. The nominated site inspectors were trained
on EMP/SSEMP implementation and directed to submit weekly checklist regularly to
DCSC as previously weekly checklists were not submitted on regular basis.
90. Environmental Inspectors of DCSC carried out field visits of all subprojects on regular
basis. During these field visits meetings are convened with the contractors' staff and
workers, visual observations and photographs are taken and key findings are discussed
with the concerned engineering staff and the contractors. Recommendations are
communicated to the contractor to address environmental issues and non-compliances
Page | 44
on all the subprojects. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is revised for all the subprojects in
consultation with the contractor’s staff.
91. For the purpose of environmental audit, Mr. Ihsan Afridi, Mr. Lehaz Imran and Mr. Altaf
Hussain (Environmental Inspectors) from DCSC visited all the under-construction sub
projects in district Khyber, Mohmand and Bajaur. By strengthening the environment
team of DCSC the environmental compliance status has been improved over the time.
92. As already reported during the previous nine SAEMRs, the environmental guidelines
were being followed. The contractors have willingness to follow the environmental
guidelines and the environmental team of DCSC is continuously working on the capacity
building. Some of the findings of the recent environmental audit are as follows:
a) Construction sites have been barricaded with fencing. Warning tapes is being
used for temporary fencing.
b) Safety Sign boards are displayed at all under construction sites.
c) Personal Protection Equipment’s (PPEs) are provided to workers. Workers

were using PPEs
d) First Aid Kits are available at construction sites.
e) Camps have been established far away from the local population to avoid any
social disputes.
f) Clean drinking water and food is being provided to the labour and staff at
camps.
g) Liquefied Natural Gas (LPG) cylinders are provided by the contractor for
cooking and heating to avoid use of wood.
h) Firefighting training has been conducted for workers and fire extinguishers
are provided at camps.
i) Adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities has been provided by the

contractor and latrines with septic tank and soakage pits have been built.
Furthermore, additional cross drainage has been provided to the soap water
over the channels to avoid surface water pollution.
j) No construction waste such as soil, debris and solid waste are thrown out in
the streams to avoid surface water pollution.
k) The drivers and staff have been trained to change the mobile oil safely and
speed limit observation to minimize dust.
l) Spill prevention tarpaulin sheet and tray are provided at sites and used at
refuelling station.
m) Surface water or ground water contamination, due to oil spillage or solid

waste, has not occurred at any site.
n) Water sprinkling is done regularly on dust prone areas where the dry, loose
dirt picks up in the wind.
o) Construction equipment and machinery is fitted with silencers and maintained

properly.
p) No noise level exceeding the permissible NEQs limits was recorded at all
under construction sites.
q) Collecting Kitchen waste at separate bins and disposing of in a pit at

designated area/s has been improved.
r) The plastic and metallic waste (steel scrap) is being reused and recycled by
the contractors.
s) During the reporting period, no major grievances were recorded. Minor onsite
grievances are being addressed in consultation with local communities and
village chiefs.
t) Unskilled labours are mostly hired from the adjacent villages and thus
provided locals the job opportunities to minimize the social issues.
u) No Child labour have been hired by the contractors at any site.
v) Trainings have been provided by the contractor with respect to prevention and
control of COVID-19 specifically on ADB suggested SOPs.
w) Weekly Checklist are submitted by the contractors on regular basis.
x) All required documents e.g., IEE, SSEMP and GRM are available on sites.
y) HSE managers have been hired for all small dams’ sites.
z) There are no damages to houses or shops at any site.
aa) No damage to Archaeological /Religious/Cultural or Historical sites.
93. The corrective action plan and trainings brought major change in the behavior of
contractors. As a result, environmental compliance is seriously considered in project
execution. Site inspectors has been trained and SSEMPs are being developed for each
subproject. The implementation of SSEMP and further trainings is bringing major
change in the behavior of the contractor’s staff towards environment friendly
construction of all the sub projects. The contractors have assured they will not harm the
local environment and will take all the necessary steps for the protection and
conservation of natural environment and will make sure the health safety of workers
and local community.
3.3 Issues Tracking (Based on Non-Conformance Notices)
94. The overall environmental progress of almost all of the subprojects improved during this
reporting period. The total average compliance status was 93%, which is calculated on

3.5 Unanticipated Environmental Impacts or Risks
3.5.1 COVID-19 Pandemic
102. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered

coronavirus. COVID-19 can affect your lungs and airways. Symptoms can be mild,
moderate, severe or fatal. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild
to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.
103. Construction processes are dynamic with significantly varying number of workers on a
construction project site from day to day. The workers coming from diverse
environments and working closely together increases the risk of exposure to COVID 19.
104. The COVID-19 outbreak represents significant health and safety risks that were not
anticipated at project appraisal stage and is thus not reflected in any of the project’s
safeguards instruments, most importantly the environmental management plan (EMP).
105. In accordance with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Safeguard Policy Statement
2009 (SPS) and the loan agreement between ADB and the borrower, the borrower is
required to assess implications of unanticipated risks and impacts under the project;
and to identify and implement necessary risk mitigation measures.
106. In response to the requirements of the SPS, as incorporated into the loan agreement,
to provide workers with safe and healthy working conditions, as well as minimize
adverse impacts and risks to the health and safety of local communities living near or
affected by, ADB-financed project, a project-level COVID-19 risk assessment was
conducted and all the contractors were instructed to update (or prepare) their respective
Health and Safety Plans (HSP) and Emergency Response Plans (ERP) as necessary.
As a result, ADB`s Project Officer was notified through letter and all the SSEMPs were
updated. Moreover, for unawarded subprojects a contract clause has been added in the
bidding document for contractors to comply with SOPs and adopt measures for
prevention and control of the COVID-19. The SSEMP of Khrakai Weir was updated with
respect to COVID-19 after re-award of the subproject to the new contractor. The Project
Officer of ADB was notified through 2nd notification about the updating of SSEMPs.
107. In October, 2021 ADB’s suggested SOPs have been received for strict compliance on
under construction subprojects sites after which training sessions were arranged by the
Environmental Inspectors of DCSC on the implementation of these SOPs for
contractors’ staff and labour.
108. The workers and staff are fully aware of the risk of COVID-19 and adopted all the
possible prevention measures provided in the updated SSEMPs. None of the worker
have been reported with COVID-19 symptoms neither any worker with illness was
observed during the site visits.
4 RESULTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
4.1 Overview of Monitoring Conducted during Current Period
109. Environmental monitoring consists of two types. The first type requires field sampling
and laboratory analysis for example water quality, air quality and noise levels. The
second type refers to visual inspections of such things as soil erosion, restoration of
vegetation, solid waste disposal and so on. The field sampling and laboratory analysis
has been conducted, including air, noise, and water quality during the current reporting
period. Environment Inspector of DCSC undertook field inspections on fortnightly basis.
Environmental Specialist of DCSC also inspected subprojects on periodical basis.
DCSC prepared Corrective Action Plans in consultation with contractors.
110. The environmental monitoring was carried out by DCSC to assess actual nature and
extent of key impacts and the effectiveness of mitigation and enhancement measures
outlined in the Initial Environmental Examination (IEEs) and Environmental
Management Plans (EMPs). The IEEs prepared for subprojects includes Environmental
management plan (EMP) that addresses the potential impacts. (Annex-6). Mitigation
measures are considered so that the projects are designed, constructed, and operated
in compliance with applicable national and provincial laws and regulations and meets
the requirements of ADB SPS, 2009. Contractors are provided with monitoring checklist
and Urdu brochures for the better understanding of the Environment. (ANNEX-7[A&B]).
The overall status of Environmental Compliance was monitored and presented as
Annex 2.
4.2 Trends
111. Keeping in mind the construction volume the impacts on water quality, air quality and
noise is negligible and no major change was noticed after analysing the test results.
The results of monitoring checklist indicate that EMP compliance is increasing as
already discussed above.
4.3 Summary of Monitoring Outcomes
112. The Impact monitoring of some environmental parameters are discussed hereunder:
4.3.1 Instrumental Monitoring
113. The instrumental monitoring of air quality and noise as well as water testing has been
conducted at sites.
4.3.2 Noise Monitoring
114. Noise monitoring on construction sites is being carried out to assess impacts of noise
level generated to curtail its adverse impacts on workers, nearby communities, and
fauna of the area. For this purpose, noise level monitoring is being carried out by using
digital noise level meter to know the noise value at subproject locations. The field
instrumental Monitoring results reveals that the noise results are within limits of NEQS
and WHO guidelines.
115. Contractors are advised to keep their machinery in good condition and provide
personal protective equipment’s (PPEs) like ear plugs to the working staff at noise
generating sites. Speed of the trucks and other vehicles used for construction activities
were to be controlled and the construction activities were to be limited to daytime only.
116. The environmental monitoring conducted by STEPS Environmental Laboratory Mardan

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which is EPA certified laboratory during June 2022 deduces that
no noise or vibration related complaints from public or workers were registered at any
of the subproject site. However, Environment team of DCSC has reinforced contractor
staff to adopt mitigation measures to reduce the impact of noise and vibration as
delineated in EMPs. DCSC environment team repeatedly advised the contractors to
keep their machinery in good condition and provide personal protective equipment
(PPE) like ear plugs to the working staff to worn at noise generating sites. DCSC
advised the contractor to provide PPEs to workers. Contractors of all subproject’s sites
were advised to control vehicle speed and restrict construction activities to daytime only.
DCSC advised the contractors to carry out noise monitoring by using noise meter on
regular basis. Noise testing was carried out at sub projects where construction activities
were in progress.
117. Results of instrumental monitoring of noise are given in the exhibit below:

Noise Testing Results
4.3.3 Air Quality Monitoring
118. The ambient air of an area may be polluted due to emissions of Carbon Oxides (COX),
Sulphur oxides (SOX), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM10). The
industry that may produce high emissions of gases and other toxic elements is not
present in the any of the subproject area so only dust and smoke emissions were to be
monitored visually by the contractors during transportation or use of excavators etc.
Some pollution might be caused due to dust emission which was to be monitored.
119. Contractors of all subprojects were guided to adopt measures helpful in controlling air
quality deterioration in the subproject activity areas like regular water sprinkling to
reduce the air dust emissions and regular tuning of vehicles maintaining the equipment
properly to minimize the smoke and other gaseous emissions. The objective was to
minimize the airborne particulate matter, dust pollution and fumes of vehicular
emissions into the atmosphere to avoid negative impacts on the health of construction
workers, residents, and nearby vegetation.
120. Visual observations were made to monitor regular water sprinkling at dust prone areas
during the construction activities and to monitor the vehicular emissions to minimize the
smoke emissions. Contractors ensured water sprinkling at most of the sites. Contractors
are advised to regularly tune and check up their construction vehicles and machinery
to comply the vehicular exhaust emission levels. Contractors regularly tune their
vehicles at all the subproject sites. Contractors are advised to ensure use of masks and
helmets by workers. Also, they were advised to transport excavated material by using
covers on the dumpers to avoid spills.
121. Air quality testing was carried out at sub projects where construction activities were in
progress. The air quality results indicate under permissible limits. The results of
instrumental monitoring are presented in exhibit below;

4.3.4 Water Quality Monitoring
122. Subproject construction activities should not lead to pollution or contamination of

surface and groundwater in the subproject area knowing that contamination bears direct
effects on human health. Therefore, preventive measures are required to be taken to
save water sources. Contractors are guided to take measures at camp site to prevent
water pollution in the adjoining stream, water channel and in groundwater: Construction
of sewage system with septic tank to dispose of sanitary wastewater and lined wash
areas are the other measures contractors were asked to take to prevent pollution of
water. Furthermore, contractors are asked to avoid oils spills in subproject areas.
123. Environment staff of DCSC has observed no surface or groundwater pollution caused
by construction activities. Contractors tested surface and drinking water from certified
labs for physical, chemical and biological parameters. No water borne disease (gastro,
diarrhoea, etc.) has been noticed. Sewerage system/septic tanks at camp sites were
constructed. Contractors are advised to ensure operation and maintenance of drainage
system to avoid contamination of ground and surface water sources. Contractors are
also advised to avoid oil spill to protect ground water and surface water channels.
124. The samples of drinking water from contractors’ camp and surface water quality were
tested in June 2022. Almost all the results are under permissible limits according to
National Environmental Quality Standard (NEQS) and WHO guidelines with exception
of Bada Khel Weir where the water is contaminated with faecal coliform bacteria. The
source of water is a bore hole along the channel downstream which has large catchment
area and number of villages are there in the surroundings where there is no proper
sanitation system and the catchment area is also used as grazing land so the
contamination would be probably because of animal and human faeces.
125. The contractor has been advised to regularly carryout chlorination and or provide clean
drinking water to labour and staff from any other source. The results are given in the
tables below:

4.3.5 Soil Erosion
126. No damages to the agricultural lands due to borrow pits or soil erosion is observed so
far, as mostly soil is obtained from local uplands from their owners who in return get
their agricultural land levelled. Still the contractors have been advised to proceed after
written agreements. Contractors are also advised to make complete line plans for
excavation and transportation showing the distance of the borrow pits from the
construction sites and to get them approved from RE of DCSC.
4.3.6 Natural Habitat Protection
127. The contractors are advised to avoid damaging the natural habitats and to replant the
damaged plants, if unavoidable, after construction. Also, the native wildlife and habitats
should not be disturbed. However, no tree has been cut during construction processes
on any of the subproject. Similarly, no native species are being disturbed due to the
construction activities.
128. A Watershed Management Plan (WSP) has been prepared by the Forest Department
in consultation with DCSC and PMU under the watershed management component of
FWRDP. The plan has been approved by PMU.
129. Under the plan tree plantation will be done on 5,829 Hectares in the catchment area of
the subprojects of the FWRDP project which will not only help in combating soil erosion,
sedimentation and flash floods but will also add to the scenic beauty of the area.
Plantation will be done at a distance of 10x10 feet distance with approximately 1075
plants per hectare. In this way approximately 6,266,175 new plants will be planted in
5,828 ha in the three districts under the project. As the project is at the border of
completion stage, therefore the planned target of plantation is almost achieved. The
proposed vs achieved target till date is provided in Exhibit 31 below.
130. Tree plantation cost is kept for each subproject under watershed management
component of the project. Tree plantation is in the process with the help of District Forest
Officers (DFO) of the three districts. As of 30th June 2022, plantation on 5760 ha area
has been completed. The overall implementation progress is 98.81% (Bajaur 3,268 ha,
Mohmand 1,627 ha and Khyber 865 ha) of revised target of 5,829 ha. Remaining
plantation is in progress and will be completed tentatively by the end of July 2022.
District wise watershed targets vs achieved are shown in below table;

Watershed Management Status
131. Neither flora nor fauna were disturbed by the contractors at any of the subproject area
since the subprojects involve only weir/ lift irrigation sump and channels construction
which locate farer to wildlife habitats. Wildlife sanctuary does exist near any subproject
site. No hunting of birds and animal is reported. Continuous monitoring is being carried
out by environmental inspectors of DCSC to check any hunting activity or activities
damaging vegetation or wildlife habitat.
4.4 Material Resources Utilisation
4.4.1 Current Period
132. The use of water in construction sites for human needs, is basically related to the
essential demands of employees of the construction site and these are preserved in
accordance with the labour laws. In the construction site, the human water
consumption, is for the following facilities: sanitary, housing, dining place, laundry, and
kitchen, when preparing meals.
133. The other major use of water is for the sprinkling of water at project site for compaction
and around the project site for dust control. Oil has been also used for project
equipment, like generators, machinery and vehicles. Consumption of Oil in gallon for
the reporting period is given in exhibit below:
Page | 60
4.4.2 Cumulative Fuel Utilisation

135. No water consumption record was present at any site. However, the contractors are not
putting pressure on ground water table as in almost all subprojects the contractors are
relying on surface water from stream and springs.

4.5 Waste Management
4.5.1 Current Period
136. Currently, there are two types of waste at all sub-project areas.
a. Domestic waste from camps, offices, labours, etc.
b. Construction waste including hazardous waste from construction sites.
4.5.2 Cumulative Waste Generation
137. The waste generated from the cutting of earth is reused for back filling. The unused
excavated material is disposed of at designated sites. Negligible construction waste
including wire cutters, plastic and paper, etc. is generated at the site which is recycled
and reused in second market. Currently, all such waste is segregated disposed of
temporarily on designated sites, identified and demarked before construction. Such
waste is then removed to be reused in second market on regular interval with the help
of specified subcontractors, assigned by each contractor.
138. Domestic waste is disposed of in low lying areas or depression on other side of sites,
where water becomes stagnant and becomes a breeding place for disease vectors like
malarial mosquitoes. This method is identified in IEE reports and also the general
practice of local municipality. Dumping waste material in these ponds achieve two
purposes: disposing off waste material and filling the pond to make the sites more health
friendly.

4.6 Health and Safety
4.6.1 Community Health and Safety
139. The safety of the local people is a major concern, due to which all the contractors were
advised to place safety signs (safety cautions, safety cones, safety tapes etc.) on site.
Campsite is established 500 meters away from the human settlements at all the
subprojects. Subproject signs are not properly placed at any site. Contractors have
ensured water sprinkling at all subproject sites. All Contractors are advised to ensure
proper water sprinkling and maintain the record. The contractors are also advised to
place safety signs for the protection of community from any incident. Traffic operations
are well on all subprojects since no complaint is received from the community in this
regard. Furthermore, no complaints have been received of damage to public/community
assets and infrastructure.
4.6.2 Workers` Safety and Health
140. The awareness of contractors needed to be created for instituting safety procedures
during construction. Provision of proper safety equipment for the workers such as
helmets, goggles, masks, shoes and gloves etc needed to be provided to the workers
during construction activities. Other safety measures to avoid exposure to accidents
due to operation of construction, vehicle movements and machinery operations were to
be ensured.
141. The findings of monitoring activities reveal that contractor have provided Personal
Protective Equipment (PPEs) to the workers on all subproject sites. Contractors are
advised to ensure provision and utilization of PPEs on all the subprojects. First Aid kits
are available at most of the subprojects while ambulance is not available at any
subproject’s sites. However, the contractors have 4WD vehicles to deal with any kind
of emergency. Furthermore, Govt. hospitals as well as private clinics are available in
close vicinity to deal with any major injuries and health issues No accident/incident of
major nature is reported during January-June 2022.

4.7 Grievances Redressal
142. Construction sites and labour camps are away from local community. There are no
houses in 500-meter vicinity of construction sites or labour camp. The contractor HSE
Managers are sensitizing the labours from time to time to take care of local norms and
culture. Beside this they placed grievances register in camp site to register local
communities’ complaints but till day no major issues related to environmental impacts
have been raised by local community. The contractor guided the drivers to keep speed
limits 30/h to avoid any unfair situations. In case if any unfair situation occurring at sites,
the issues are resolved on priority basis and will involve local Jirga in according to the
complexity of the situation. Most of the complaints of communities is of social nature
and dealt by PIU and Sociologist of CSC jointly and reported in six monthly social
monitoring report submitted to ADB.
4.8 Training
143. The environmental and social unit of DCSC is comprising only one environmental expert
(intermittent basis) and three environmental inspectors and one social inspector.
Currently the DCSC provide information and guidelines on all environmental safeguard
related training activities to the Contractor`s Environmentalist/HSE Officers, staff and
labours. These include trainings of nominated site inspectors, Contractors, HSE
inductions for site workers, guidelines on HSE training, risk assessment requirements
before start of each activity, etc. The site inspectors then provide the training on these
issues to the staff and labour.
144. The site inspectors were nominated by the contractors who were trained by the
environment specialist of DCSC. These inspectors were specifically trained on
construction site inspections and weekly checklist monitoring, this will ensure
compliance of EMP/SSEMP in true letter and spirit.
145. The following exhibit shows the trainings provided during the reported period.

5 FUNCTIONING OF THE SSEMP
5.1 SSEMP Review
146. Contractors are required to prepare Site Specific Environmental Monitoring Plan
(SSEMP), including environmental management measures, risk assessment,
Environmental Management Plan (EMP), Emergency Response Plan (ERP), Borrow
Area Management Plan, Traffic Management Plan, Health Environment and Safety
Plan.
147. The contractors of the awarded subprojects were directed through letters to submit the
SSEMP reports 10 days prior to the commencement of physical work. In response to
the letter the SSEMPs of the subprojects mentioned in exhibit 2 have been submitted
by the contractors and approved by DCSC and ESMU.
148. It was observed that all the subprojects are implementing the measures proposed in the
EMP and SSEMP. This was mainly due to the fact that the contractor`s nominated staff
were trained on Environment, Health & Safety which in turn helped a lot in
implementation of mitigation measures proposed.
149. As these subprojects mainly involve soil/earthworks, dust suppression measures were
stressed upon by the DCSC staff. The contractors` staff was persuaded to maintain
good house-keeping and waste management.
150. The contractors revised their SSEMPs and included COVID-19 Health and Safety Plan
(HSP) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in accordance with guidelines for
construction site issued by the Ministry of Health, Govt. of Pakistan and international
good practices. All the SSEMPs were revised and submitted to ESMU against which
approval have been granted by ESMU and they were strictly directed to implement it
with true letter and spirit.
6 GOOD PRACTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT
6.1 Good Practice
151. In most workplaces, accidents are a nuisance for the worker and a headache for Project
Management Team. However, at construction sites, accidents have the potential to be
life threatening. With every new story about environmental disasters and trapped
labourers, construction sites become less and less appealing even as the population
grows and demands new, updated structures increases. Regarded as one of the most
dangerous professions, construction work on the job site can be considered anything
but entirely safe. Obviously, the employers do need to mitigate safety hazards to
construction workers, but the workers need to keep in mind a lot of precautions
themselves when working in such hazardous conditions.
152. Thus, construction sites must be strived to safeguard their employees if not for the
ethical reasons, then for the economic ones. Here are ways construction businesses
can reduce workplace accidents. The following Good Practices are adopted at project
sites
6.1.1 Awareness
153. Before any worker, no matter his or her role or experience level, can set foot on a
construction site, he or she must be fully cognizant of the possible hazards. Ignorant
workers are perhaps the biggest dangers at any construction sight, as their unknowing
mistakes put everyone else at risk. Understanding of perils at hand and sustaining a
perpetual state of alertness is perhaps the number-one best way to prevent accidents
for which awareness campaign and risk assessment of each activity is done before start
of the new activity for the staff. For this purpose, daily Tool Box Talk (TBT) is conducted
by HSE Supervisor in the morning before starting any activity on the site. Safety posters
indicating different construction hazards are displayed at site. Beside this World Days
related to Environment, Health & Safety and labour is celebrated at project where
awareness is created in staff and labour through posters and banners etc.
6.1.2 Training
154. Though most of a construction worker’s skills can be gained on the job, safety is one
skill set that is best learned before workers enter the construction site. Occasional
trainings are held on all sites for the labourers on standard safety and security practices.
Experienced workers are also provided with same trainings to refresh their knowledge
of standard safety by attending regular training sessions throughout the project cycle.
6.1.3 Communication
155. Accidents are more likely to occur when workers are unsure what to expect. Direct
communication regarding the day’s goals and activities resulted in cut down on
surprises that could cause bodily harm. Construction workers and supervisors are
equipped with devices, like smartphones or headsets, which allow fast and efficient
communication among team members.
6.1.4 Supervision
156. Ideally, construction workers would fully understand the ramifications of inadequate
safety precautions and thus act in a manner to ensure site-wide well-being — but this
is not a perfect world. So, every site must have a strong supervisor who is willing and
capable of enforcing safety standards with no exceptions. Such supervision is provided
in almost all the sites (giving the best conformance level of +90%).
6.1.5 Child Labour Prohibition
157. Child labour refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work that deprives
children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and is
mentally, physically, socially and morally harmful. Such exploitation is prohibited by
legislation worldwide.
158. A criterion has been set by the contractors where the contractors does not hire any
labor without National Identity Card (NIC) which is issued to age 18 and above only in
Pakistan.
6.1.6 Community Development and Gender Action Plan
159. Although the project doesn’t require any land acquisition or resettlement. To gain
support of the local communities and to ensure inclusion of women the project has
prepared and implementing a Gender Action Plan (GAP).
160. Separate female training plan is developed and trainings for female are in progress to
ensure inclusion of more women through agriculture department and Master trainer with
the support of female internees. PMU has developed database for gender design
features in sub-projects (e.g., washing pads, safe and easy access for water fetching)
and the same is monitored through consultant to ensure its provision at field level. GAP
has been revised based on the work plan submitted by directorate of Agriculture
Extension. This will help introducing good farming practices through women
participation.
161. Gender aspects have been further strengthened through agriculture extension
activities. PMU and Department of Agriculture enhanced gender activities and
strengthening. The additional activities include four major activities: (i) establishment of
300 acres vegetables demonstration plots out of which 175 acres has been achieved,
(ii) establishment of 250 acres olive orchards out of which 250 acres has been achieved,
(iii) 115 high roof walk-in tunnels with drip irrigations out of which 60 HRTs has been
installed, while (iv) 23 farmer field schools and women open schools are established.
(v). additional 60 vertical net farming and 300 tool kits were also included.
6.2 Opportunities for Improvement
6.2.1 Documentation
162. It is noticed almost all of the subproject sites, although the most of the environmental
issues are being catered but their documentation and record keeping is poor.
Documenting all work in the field will make issues easier than ever before to mitigate.
6.2.2 Innovation
163. The development of new practices that will enhance safety and security should always
be encouraged, and workers should avoid speaking against legislation aimed at
improving safety protocols. Perhaps with enough innovation, all construction sites can
give 100 percent conformance.
6.2.3 Transparency
164. The worst thing any construction contractor can do for its reputation is attempting a
cover-up. Hiding accidents not only lowers the opinion of a single endeavour — it paints
the construction sites as a whole in a negative light. Ultimately, people understand that
accidents happen, and as long as contractors are doing their best to foster a safe
environment for their workers, any accidents that do occur will only contribute to the
growing need to augment modern safety techniques. Transparency, along with the
other practices on this list, will help construction as a whole become a safer industry in
which to work.
7 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
165. Twelve (12) subprojects are under construction. The contractors have been directed to
ensure implementation of EMP and SSEMP to make sure environment friendly
construction. DCSC environment team had orientated contractors and their staff on how
to carry out environmental monitoring.
166. DCSC environment team has orientated all the contractors on environmental
compliances as per IEEs/EMPs. DCSC has issued notices to the contractors on non-
compliance of environmental safeguard measures related to environmental
management and health and safety of workers and public. Mutually agreed Corrective
Action Plan is also devised and communicated to the contractors. DCSC has advised
the contractor to address non-compliance as per agreed Corrective Action Plan.

ANNEX-1: Environmental Safeguards Completion Report
A. Introduction
1. The approach to Environmental Management Recommended in the project`s

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) took into account the institutional capacity in
environmental management in three districts namely Khyber, Mohmand and Bajaur of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and aimed to use the flexibility inherent in the project to
recognize and avoid any potential environmental hazards through a step-wise process
as below:
i. Selection criteria for subprojects were designed to avoid any really obvious
environmental concerns. (Thus, no subproject was undertaken within the Protected
area or any wildlife sanctuaries or forest reserves.
ii. Every subproject was screened through Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) and
subjected to an initial environmental examination (IEE). This step would allow any
potential environmental hazard to be identified and mitigation measures drawn
up. (If it appeared that mitigation measures could not be satisfactorily designed to
ensure a minimal environmental impact, the subproject would be dropped).
iii. The detailed design of every subproject was checked before construction to ensure
that mitigation measures had been incorporated and appropriate safeguards and
required practices written into civil works contracts.
iv. Construction and operation of subprojects was monitored to ensure compliance with
environmental safeguards and that no serious environmental problem would arise.
2. The second step was undertaken during project implementation, where experts were
present in the project management Unit (PMU), Design and Construction Supervision
Consultants (DCSC) and Asian Development Bank`s (ADB) Environmental Safeguards
Team to help ensure compliance with the plan.
3. The third Step was initiated during implementation but was expected to continue into
the operational phase.
4. In summary, the approach to environmental management was to avoid major negative

impacts in the first place through:
• the subproject selection process;
• recognition and mitigation of lesser hazards identified by the IEEs;
• Ensuring of environmentally sound construction and operation, and monitoring of
subprojects to ensure sound operational practices were being followed and mitigation
measures were working as expected.

5. The under-construction FATA Water Resources Development Project (FWRDP), out of

34 subprojects, 03 subprojects are substantially completed, in addition to 6 sub projects
that were already completed and reported in the 7th SAEMR, 13 subprojects in 8th
SAEMR and three (03) subprojects in 9th SAEMR. The remaining 10 subprojects are
still under construction. This completion Report is the summary of completed
subprojects and the lesson learned (Environmental Practical Experience) for under
construction subprojects. The list of completed subprojects during the current reporting
period are given below.
1) Kharkai Weir
2) Khar Canal
B. Project Performance during Implementation
6. The EMP contained in the report and recommendation of the ADB and EPA-KP,
specified various activities to be undertaken during subproject identification, design, and
implementation.
7. These were inevitably affected by the revisions to expected processes, as outlined in

the safeguard documents, and in fact the selection of subprojects applied broadly
involved the process of identification, catchment area and water use studies, feasibility
study, and detailed design. This complied with the original design, and environmental
aspects (especially of water resources management & EHS) remained integral to the
entire process.
8. Monitoring of the environmental aspects of project implementation was the

responsibility of the Design and Construction Supervision Consultants and
Environmental and Social Management Unit (ESMU), and of the project Management
unit (PMU) assisted by Environment Officer (PMU), Environmental specialist with
assistance of Environmentalists (DCSC). Implementing Agency performance was
generally adequate, and institutional and technical requirements of the loan covenants
were complied. Specific activities undertaken included:
• (Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) for each subproject and Detailed

designs followed the environmental assessment or IEE as captured in the Water
assessment studies and/or feasibility studies;
• (Detailed designs were approved by relevant agencies (i.e., Department
of Irrigation with the coordination of Department of Agriculture, Forestry and
Environment);
• The Environmental safeguards Documentation i.e., IEEs, EMPs and SSEMPs
are also approved by the relevant Agencies i.e., Environmental Protection
Agency and ADB.
C. Overall Assessment
9. The subprojects completed are rated successful based on the earlier assessments of
relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and likely sustainability.
10. These subprojects are an appropriate response to the recognized problems of rural
poverty, Low agriculture production and water scarcity in Erstwhile FATA of the 21st
century. Its technical composition was adequate, although if detailed formulation had
been somewhat more rigorous, the implementation delays (arising from the difficult
conditions on some subproject land, lack of contractor`s capacity.
11. The subprojects are implemented in circumstances that have continued to evolve
rapidly, yet retained its fundamental relevance. While some economic, social, and
institutional successes are now obvious at the subproject level. This is the most
fundamental shortcoming of the project to work in an area where environment and
climate-related pressures are growing.
12. The overall progress with respect to Environment Compliance is satisfactory. At the
start it was assessed somewhat very difficult, because of the tribal nature of the people
and ADB/country Environmental compliance requirements but with the passage of time,
it was improved and currently projected to 86% in the 8th Semi-Annual Environmental
Monitoring Report.
D. Lessons Learned
13. Probably the most obvious lesson is that the capacity needed to implement a project
with fully adopted Environment Compliance Procedures must be met at all levels i.e.,
PMU, DCSC and Contractors. According to ADB and Country Safeguards guidelines in
a particular area of the country, where the under-discussion compliance at this
particular tribal nature seemed difficult, particularly the contractors were also unaware
of the Environment Compliance Procedures. But the environment team and
management of the project were quite successful to achieve the goal up to the mark.
14. At all levels of involvement executing agency, consultants and contractors, all are
effective in the project performance and they must be on a single page to work for a
same cause to make sure the project is implemented smoothly.
15. It was also learned that appropriate and necessary interventions to support capacity
development and training must be included in the project scope. The most important
requirement is to focus on safety and health issues.
16. The most valuable lesson learned is the project implementers must aware the
contractors of the Environmental Safeguards requirements at an early stage to fulfil the
compliance.
17. At the end we can say that achievement is possible, when all the stakeholders involved
in Environmental Planning and Compliance work heartily and fully follow the prescribed
Guidelines.
18. Therefore, during the construction period of afore-mentioned subprojects, no accidents

were reported.
19. It is first project in the Tribal belt of Pakistan, where we achieved fully up to some extent
the Environment Compliance according to the Guidelines of Donor Agency.
E. Recommendations
20. The project’s design and implementation experience has yielded significant technical
and institutional lessons on the nature of conditions in the water sector; as it is likely
that development of small and medium-sized irrigation schemes will continue to feature
in the sector development agenda, it is essential that these experiences are reflected
in ADB’s future analytical work, specifically in the assessment, strategy, and roadmaps
prepared as part of the country partnership strategy process.
21. An enabling environment is needed to allow farmers to supply the demand for their
production. Examples include
(i) a policy and institutional framework that promotes sound water resource
management;
(ii) a legal framework for water user associations that promotes cost recovery at least
sufficient to finance sustainable operation and maintenance (O&M);
(iii) rural infrastructure (e.g., roads that allow farmers to market their products, and farm
inputs to be delivered when they are needed);
(iv) efficient markets that are free of price distortions and barriers to competition for
both farm products and agricultural inputs; and
(v) access to information on demand, prices, and technology.
22. To successfully capture the opportunities created by growing markets, supportive

alliances must be created among upstream and downstream business partners (i.e.,
suppliers and service providers of agricultural inputs and implements such as farm
machines, agricultural processing entities and others related to markets). Extension
services must be provided; there must be access to improved seeds, fertilizers,
pesticides, and technologies; and private sector merchants must be involved in
marketing the incremental products.
23. In addition to the Environment Documentation, the Environment Compliance

Supervision at all level i.e., Client, Supervision Consultants and Contractor must be fully
technically sound and adequate in number to fulfil the requirements of the project.
