Annex A: Terms of Reference (ToR) of the ESIA Study (Full Assessment)

Objective

The objective of the assignment is to assist the Government of Bangladesh in preparing Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) including an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the sub-project which was assessed based on the environmental and social screening to involve potential higher environmental and social risks and impacts through their implementation.

Scope of Work

Task 1. Review of project and existing technical studies

1. The consultant will define project activities and any linked and/or associated activities. The consultant will review and analyse the technical documents on environment and social, economic benefits related to the proposed infrastructure investments (Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility studies, preliminary designs, Environmental and Social Screening result, relevant field investigations and other surveys, modelling results, etc.).

Task 2: Baseline Environmental and Social Conditions

2. The Consultant will review, evaluate and update baseline data on the relevant environmental, social, economic and physical cultural heritage characteristics within the project area. Specifically, the baseline conditions should include information on:

a. Physical environment: geology, topography, sediments/soils, surface and ground water hydrology, land pollution, water quality, air quality and sources of air emissions, noise emissions, utilities and sewage networks;

b. Biological environment: existing flora and fauna at the site; natural habitats; waterbodies

c. Social and economic: community structure; pedestrian and commuter activities; residential and commercial activities; description of direct and indirect livelihoods)

d. Information on disadvantaged groups or persons for whom special provisions may have to be made, if affected, and in the context of developing mitigation measures;

e. Assess whether there will be any displacements as a result of the physical works; f. Physical cultural property: Cultural heritage assets such as cultural, religious, historical or

archaeological sites, including sacred and/or burial places, that might be affected during construction.

3. Baseline data shall include but not limited to following:

Primary data/monitoring shall define characteristics of the existing natural environment including soil, water, air, noise, land use, cultural properties and flora & fauna. o Monitoring to be carried at critical locationso Identification of specific areas for monitoring o Air and Noise Monitoring at junctions, major settlements, school and hospitals etc. o Water and soil monitoring. o Tree inventory to be carried out, in consultation with relevant Government Department. o Inventory of Cultural Property Resources shall be done along with measurements, details

and photographs; consultation shall be done for gathering public opinion.

1

Secondary Data to define meteorology, geology, climate change (flooding potential) quarries, borrow areas, disposal sites etc.

Baseline conditions of ambient air and noise should be analysed by comparing with not only national standards but also WBG EHS guidelines values

Task 3: Legislative Framework

4. The Consultant shall analyse the existing relevant laws/regulations, and add any new legislations, decisions and/or guidance notes relevant to the environment quality, health and safety, cultural property, waste management, hazardous substance storage and handling; noise emissions; protection of sensitive areas and endangered species, land-use planning, involuntary resettlement and expropriation; public information; environmental liability, etc. determining their relevance to the project.

5. The Consultant shall also assess the institutional arrangements and institutional capacity for supervision and enforcement of ESMP during construction and operation. The consultant shall reference any international relevant legislation and treaties applicable to the project, including World Bank ESF and Occupational Health and Safety Guidelines.

Task 4: Determination of potential environmental and social impacts

6. The Consultant shall update the existing documents to determine impacts, direct, indirect and cumulative impacts, and immediate and long-term impacts related to the construction phase of the proposed works as well as once the works are finalized (operational phase). The Consultant shall propose mitigation measures and affiliated costs for each of the above identified impacts that will represent the content/summary of an Environmental and Social Mitigation Plan for the overall project during its construction as well as the operation phases. The Mitigation Plan is part of the overall project Environmental and Social Management Plan.

Task 5: Analysis of Alternatives

7. The Consultant shall review the available technical documents and summarize alternatives proposed during the project development, including the alternative of not constructing the proposed project. Such alternatives could be related to different options in terms of design of structures and facilities, selection of technologies, construction techniques, and project phasing, operating and maintenance activities. These alternatives must be compared on technical, economic, environment, and social merits and to the extent possible, with costs and benefits of each alternative. The concept of alternatives extends to siting and design, technology selection, rehabilitation/construction techniques and phasing, and operating and maintenance procedures. The alternative should also emphasize analysis of secondary/induced impacts and potential conflicts. The Consultant shall briefly compare these alternatives in terms of potential environmental and social impacts, cost and benefits.

Task 6: Preparation of Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)

8. The ESMP shall be prepared in such a manner that environmental and social requirement (mitigation measures and monitoring, technical specifications) related to the construction phase could be incorporated in the bidding/contract documents. The ESMP should include proposed enhancements such as landscaping and “greening” of the sub-project area. The World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and Environmental and Social Standards (ESS) should be complied with in the ESMP.

9. The ESMP should propose the criteria, procedures, and responsibilities for monitoring and enforcing all of the environmental measures included in the alignment sheets and the construction

2

practices included on the construction specifications. The consultant shall review the authority and capability of institutions responsible for implementation of this project and recommend steps to strengthen or expand them, including proposals for intersectoral arrangements, management procedures and training, staffing, operation and maintenance training, budgeting, and financial support. This must include the institutional arrangement which needs to be set in place to implement the ESMP and the monitoring framework. The ESMP should clearly present estimated budget associated with proposed mitigation and monitoring actions as well as the institutions responsible for implementation.

10. In addition to the World Bank Operational Policies, the consultant will refer to the following key documents:

(i) Guidelines for Managing the risks of adverse impacts on communities from temporary project induced Labor influx

(ii) Environmental Health and Safety Guidelines

11. The mitigation measures and environmental management plan should be sufficiently specific to provide clear guidance to the Contractors for enforcement by the engineer. The contract clauses should be focused towards specifications to be complied and enforcement with built in mechanism to take recourse on failure of implementation. For supervision, the ESMP will provide comprehensive checklists for the verification of compliance of environmental specifications by contractors and checklists for the reception of final works. The ESMP will also include a monitoring program.

12. The mitigation measures and monitoring framework required during operations should also be prepared, in an Operations Manual and/or ESMP format for operations phase.

Task 7: Stakeholder Consultations

13. The Consultant will assist the Client in undertaking at the minimum two structured consultations, during the preparation of the ESIA and ESMP. In addition, such consultations with primary and secondary stakeholders will continue throughout project implementation, as necessary to address EA related issues that affect them. For meaningful consultations with project-affected groups, communities, women of various age, persons with disabilities, elderly people, local NGOs and rights groups, all relevant documents must be provided in a timely manner prior to consultation and in a form and language that are understandable and accessible to the groups being consulted. Stakeholders should be consulted at least twice during ESIA preparation: shortly after E&S screening and before ToR is finalized, and once a draft ESIA report is prepared. Please also note the result of the stakeholder consultation should be reflected in ESIA report as well as in the project design and in implementation and operational approaches.

Annex B2: Structure of Environmental and Social Assessment

An Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) describes the process of analysis and planning (used by a World Bank Borrower) to ensure that the environmental and social impacts and risks of a project are identified, avoided, minimized, reduced or mitigated.

The ESA needs to meet the requirements of the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Standard (ESS) 1. Based on the requirements of ESS Section B, the recommended structure of the ESA is as follows:

1. Introduction – description of project background and objectives2. Project Description – components, locations, cost estimate, implementation plan3. Summary of Project’s Technical Analyses4. Summary of Project’s Financial Analyses5. Description of Project Area – baseline environmental (physical and biological) and socio-

economic condition6. Scoping of Potential Environmental and Social Issues – based on project description and

baseline conditions, range and extent of potential issues should be described. Initial consultations with key stakeholders can be useful for the scoping exercise.

7. Stakeholder Engagement - consultation with affected people and other interested parties to potentially significant environmental and social risks and impacts are identified

8. Additional Assessment Requirements - Identification of specific assessment tools to carry out the environmental and social assessment and to document the results of such assessment, including the mitigation measures to be implemented. These can include Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Environmental and Social Audit, Hazard or Risk Assessment, Cumulative Impact Assessment, Social and Conflict Analyses, Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA)

9. Institutional Capacity – description of strengths and weaknesses of implementing agency’s environmental and social safeguards track record, capacity and training requirements.

12

Annex C: Guidelines for ESMP

An Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is a document that details:

(a) the measures to be taken during the pre-construction, construction and operation phases of a project to mitigate adverse environmental and social impacts and/or enhance the project benefits

(b) who is responsible for carrying out the measures and also supervision responsibilities(c) monitoring and reporting activities required to ensure that the measures are implemented

and working properly.(d) allocation of resources including capacity building and training requirements(e) contingency plans

The following table provides more guidelines for preparing an ESMP.

ESMP Component Guideline

Summary of impacts

The predicted adverse environmental and social impacts for which mitigation is required should be identified and briefly summarised.

Description of mitigation measures

Each mitigation measure should be briefly described with reference to the impact to which it relates and the conditions under which it is required.

Description of monitoring programme

The monitoring program should clearly indicate the linkages between impacts identified, measurement indicators, detection limits (where appropriate), and definition of thresholds that will signal the need for corrective actions.

Institutional arrangements

Responsibilities for mitigation and monitoring should be clearly defined, including arrangements for co-ordination between the various actors responsible for mitigation.

Implementation schedule & reporting procedures

The timing, frequency and duration of mitigation measures should be specified in an implementation schedule, showing links with overall project implementation.

Cost estimates and sources of funds

These should be specified for both the initial investment and recurring expenses for implementing all measures contained in the ESMP, integrated into the total project costs.

Provide health care facilities and first aid facilities are readily available. Appropriately equipped first-aid stations should be easily accessible throughout the place of work

Document and report occupational accidents, diseases, and incidents.

Prevent accidents, injury, and disease arising from, associated with, or occurring in the course of work by minimizing, so far as reasonably practicable, the causes of hazards. In a manner consistent with good international industry practice.

Identify potential hazards to workers, particularly those that may be life-threatening and provide necessary preventive and protective measures.

Provide awareness to the construction drivers to strictly follow the driving rules

Provide adequate lighting in the construction area and along the roads.

Water and sanitation facilities at the construction sites

Lack of Water sanitation facilities at construction sites cause inconvenience to the construction workers and affect their personal hygiene.

The contractor should provide portable toilets at the construction sites, if about 25 people are working the whole day for a month. Location of portable facilities should be at least 6m away from storm drain system and surface waters. These portable toilets should be cleaned once a day and all the sewerage should be pumped from the collection tank once a day and

46



should be brought to the common septic tank for further treatment. Contractor should provide bottled drinking water facilities to the construction workers at all the construction sites.

ECoP 14: Community/Public Health and Safety

The safety and health of the public is impacted due to the hazards created during the construction period. This code of practice describes the measures that need to be taken to mitigate the impacts. Pre-construction Stage In order to incorporate public health and safety concerns, the PMU and the Contractor shall disseminate the following information to the community:

Location of subproject activities, Borrow areas, Extent of work Time of construction Involvement of local labors in subproject construction Health issues - exposure to dust, communicable diseases etc.

Construction Stage Proper safety/warning signs are to be installed by the contractor to inform the public of

potential health and safety hazard situations during the construction phase in the vicinity of the project.

The PMU shall carry out periodic inspections in order to ensure that all the measures are being undertaken as per this ECoP.

Post-construction Stage The construction site shall be cleaned of all debris, scrap materials and machinery on

completion of construction for the safety of public and users.

ECoP 15: Accident and Emergency Plan

Tractors, Motor Vehicles and other Self-Propelled Implements: These and all other vehicles must be immobilized when not in use.

Machinery, Plant and Equipment Sharp points, spikes and sharp edges must be protected. Adequate support must be given

to prevent moving or tipping up. Cutter bars, knives or other cutters must have their blades removed or approved guards covering them. Belts, gearing and other moving parts must be guarded so that there is no danger whatsoever and the public must be kept well clear. Hydraulics must be immobilized.

Hydraulics Any equipment operated by hydraulics, i.e. trailers, tractor buckets, fork lifts, chutes must

be suitably propped with steel props and at separate stages if in multi-stage rams. Any steam or pressure vessel or lifting appliance used must have undergone a recent inspection by a competent person.

Tower Cranes and Hoists The area over which the crane is exhibited must be protected in case of collapse.

Digging of Holes and Other Excavations No post holes are to be bored nor is any other digging or excavation to take place

anywhere without written authorization

Fencing Single rope or post and rail fencing will normally suffice as providing minimum protection

however, where there is a need to prevent total public access to a site or part thereof, secure wire mesh or vertical barrier rail type fences should be used.

Storage of Flammable Liquids and Gas Storage of these materials will not normally be permitted. These must be secured to

prevent theft or misuse, they should be supported so that they cannot fall over and valves and pipes are to be kept clear of obstructions and free from external pressures.

Protective Clothing Standardized protective clothing should be used wherever there is a requirement.

Electricity The contractor will inspect all pre-wired installations when connecting the supply and a

charge will be made should further testing be required. Contractors will be held responsible for the safekeeping of fittings and installations on their sites.

Traffic All vehicles used must comply with the relevant safety and road traffic regulations.

Site safety rules for contractors Appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE) e.g. hard hats, vests, ear protection

and safety boots to be worn when required. No persons are to use lifting equipment of any description unless they have undergone

the relevant training All lifting equipment to be accompanied by current certificate of inspection Exclusion zones are to be put into place around all heavy and or awkward lifting

operations All tools and equipment to be kept in good working order and only to be used for the

purpose for which they were intended, any defects in tools or equipment should be reported as soon as possible to the relevant contractor’s supervisor, or if deemed

48

necessary to the site office immediately. All equipment and tools not in use must be safely and securely stored in the appropriate

area, so that they may only be accessed by authorized persons and do not pose any danger to other workers or members of the public.

All walkways, access points and emergency exits to be free from obstruction at all times. All contractors should ensure that they do not obstruct any emergency exits,

thoroughfares or access points with any articles or materials. All contractors, sub-contractors and other staff are to ensure they are familiar with

procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency or major incident. All incidents resulting in injury and any near misses to be reported to relevant project

manager. Exclusion zones to be established around areas where work at height is being carried out,

or where overhead loads are being slung. Any worker found, or suspected to be, under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs will

be asked to leave the site. Health & safety compliance will be monitored by designated safety manager of the

contractor who will liaise with suppliers, site management to ensure that the above rules are being followed.

Fire Safety All workers should be aware of the location of firefighting equipment, fire alarm points

and the locations of emergency exits and routes in the area in which they are working.

Noise at Work The contractor has a duty to ensure that their staff are adequately protected against the

harmful effects of noise. The contractor will supply their staff with appropriate noise projection gear.

Loading/Unloading of Vehicles ALL vehicles must observe the site speed limit at all times. All workers and visitors to wear hi-vis waistcoats at all times whilst on site. All goods vehicles must have their vehicle height clearly marked if in doubt of height

clearance, should be seen to the site by a competent person from the contractor’s team. All delivery vehicles should be seen into and away from their unloading position by a

competent person to avoid collisions, particularly with people. All workers should be aware of traffic in the vicinity of the unloading areas and on the

roadways. Make sure when lifting articles and materials or equipment from vehicles or trailers, and

or releasing load bars/straps/ties be aware that other equipment may have become dislodged which could fall.

Be aware of slippery areas and trip hazards Try to ensure that adequate lighting is available both inside and out of the immediate

loading/unloading area. An exclusion zone should be made around unloading areas to avoid unnecessary danger

to crew and or public. Continual monitoring of ramps and loading bays should be carried out to alleviate the

potential of harm. Equipment must not block any designated fire/ambulance lanes at any time. Appropriate signage should be used to make people aware of the dangers of the area.

Mechanical Handling Vehicles must observe the site speed limit at all times. All vehicles must comply with any current and or relevant standards

49

Vehicles must be parked in a safe place ensuring that no emergency routes are blocked.

Construction and Dismantling of Structures Be aware of other work going on around you.

Accident Procedure If an accident occurs firstly make sure that nobody is in any immediate danger i.e. from

electrocution, traffic, falling truss etc. Do not move the patient unless they are in further danger. Send someone to call for medical help. If trained, administer first aid, or otherwise summon a trained first-aider. Clear by-standers and onlookers from the area
