Pollution Measures. As it is expected that operation of construction machinery will generate coarse particles and noise during construction, the following measures will be taken: water sprinkling, covers on load-carrying platforms of vehicles, installation of sound-proof sheets near houses and use of low-noise heavy machinery. As for water pollution, water-shielding steel-pipe sheet-pile foundation and steel sheet piles will prevent muddy water from flowing into rivers, and muddy water will be treated in detritus tanks before being discharged so that the environmental criteria of the country will be satisfied. All excavated soil (about 14,000 m³) will be used for the construction of approach roads in the project. The result of the bottom sediment survey conducted as part of EIA confirms that the soil does not contain heavy metal or any other harmful substance exceeding the criteria. ⑤ Natural Environment: The target area does not apply to a vulnerable area, such as national park, or its surrounding. The Xxxxxx and Gumti Rivers may have rare species of river dolphins, which may be affected by the underwater noise and vibration from pile driving and nighttime lighting. If any river dolphin is spotted, pile driving and the operation of construction vessels will be suspended and nighttime lighting will be limited to the construction sites. Therefore, no serious adverse impact on the natural environment is expected. ⑥ Social Environment: Although the Project is carried out within the land owned by the executing agency and does not require land acquisition, it required the involuntary relocation of a total of 294 residents for the construction of the three bridges. The relocation was carried out according to the regulations of the country and the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP). There was a meeting with residents during the development of the RAP, where the project outline, compensation through payment of the replacement costs, support measures, monitoring plan, complaint handling mechanism, etc., were explained. Meeting participants made requests for a construction planning that will minimize relocation, the provision of appropriate compensation and measures to support livelihood recovery, and asked questions about relocation schedule. No special opposition against the project was identified throughout the meeting.
Pollution Measures. This project is likely to have little soil pollution and repair works on facilities are also likely to have little impacts on the environment. ⑤ Natural Environment：This project is not conducted in or near a sensitive area like a national park and is likely to have minimal adverse environmental impacts. ⑥ Social Environment: This project focuses on repairs/mending on the existing facilities and will not involve land acquisition and resettlement. However, if and when a new facility is built, a site will be provided by the local government and/or farmers association.
Pollution Measures. This project repairs the facilities in the existing irrigation areas and as such, no negative effects on environment is expected. ⑤ Natural Environment： This project is not conducted in or near a sensitive area like a national park, and is expected to cause little adverse impacts, if any, on environment. ⑥ Social Environment： This project is for repairing the facilities in the existing irrigation areas, and as such, it does not involve any land acquisition and resettlement of residents. ⑦ Other/Monitoring：Executing agency will monitor water quality, etc.
Pollution Measures. As for the effects of the Project to water quality, noise, and other factors during construction, specific alleviation measures will be finalized at the detailed design. ⑤ Natural Environmental Aspect: The site targeted in the Project is not projected to be in an area that would tend to be affected, such as a national park, anything similar, or in any other surrounding area.
Pollution Measures. Impact of air pollution during the construction is reduced by sprinkling water regularly and installing temporary fence at the construction site. Measures for noise pollution will be taken by equipping muffler and silencer with construction machines, installing noise barrier, etc. while for vibration, impact is reduced by adopting a construction machine of low-vibration-type, a method requires less vibration, etc. During the commencement of services, noise will be reduced by installing noise barrier while vibration will be reduced by constructing long rail, installing rail dumper, etc. Measures for water pollution in surrounding environment will be taken by installing wastewater treatment equipment in depot and hygiene equipment in station building. Furthermore, contractor (during construction period) and DOTC and local government units (LGUs) (after the commencement) will implement a traffic management plan during and after the construction prepared by DOTC to reduce traffic congestion. ⑤ Natural Environment: Since the Project is not located in or around sensitive areas such as national parks, its adverse impact on the natural environment is assumed to be minimal. ⑥ Social Environment: The total number of affected households in this Project is 1,160 (2,045 residents), of which 300 households (1,185 residents) require resettlement. The area required for land acquisition is about 16.1ha. The procedures of the resettlement and land acquisition are taken in line with the Philippine laws and regulations and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) which is prepared based on the JICA Guidelines. At a stakeholders’ meeting held during the RAP preparation, explanation and consultation was made on the Project description, compensation and contents of support of resettlement process, relocation place, etc. From the consultation, there are no specific adverse opinion observed against the implementation of this Project. Support of resettlement process is provided by the National Housing Authority (NHA) and LGUs under the responsibility of DOTC. ⑦ Other/Monitoring: Based on the environmental management plan and environmental monitoring plan, contractor implements monitoring of air, noise, vibration, etc. of the project site under the supervision of DOTC during the construction period. Operation and maintenance body which will be determined prior to the commencement of services will implement monitoring of noise and vibration from railway, wastewater, etc. from depot and station...
Pollution Measures. During the construction, measures will be taken to meet the emission standards and the environmental standards in Egypt concerning water quality, noise, vibration, waste, etc., including the prevention of leakage of waste water and fuel, and the use of soundproof devices for equipment. After the facilities constructed under this project begin to be used, measures will be taken concerning water quality, noise, vibration, waste, etc., such as adjusting the number departures and arrivals, and the appropriate classification and disposal of waste. ⑤ Natural Environment: Because the target area is not an area which is likely to receive any impact, such as a national park, or any area around it, the unfavorable impact on the natural environment is estimated to be minimal. ⑥ Social Environment: The project will be carried out on the existing premises of the airport, it is unnecessary to acquire land or transfer residents. ⑦ Other / Monitoring: During the construction, the implementing agency and the constructor will monitor noise, vibration, water quality, waste, etc. After the facilities begin to be used, the implementing agency, etc. will monitor noise, vibration, water quality, waste, etc.
Pollution Measures. In order to mitigate the effects of construction works, such as air (gas and dust emissions), water, and noise pollution, the contractor will take necessary measures, including the sprinkling of water, the treatment of seepage water, the restriction of construction hours, the covering of materials to prevent dust emissions, and the proper management of construction heavy equipment. Moreover, the waste earth from the construction sites is to be transported to the specified final disposal site. After the commencement of the service, the noise level is expected to satisfy the legal requirements of Bangladesh. ⑤ Natural Environment: The bridges to be constructed or replaced in this Project are not located in or around sensitive areas such as national parks; therefore, the Project is considered to have a minimum negative impact on the natural environment. ⑥ Social Environment: This Project will entail land acquisition of approximately 125 hectares and resettlement of 385 households (1,818 people) for the total of 61 bridges. Both the land acquisition and resettlement will be carried out based on the resettlement action program formulated in accordance with the laws and regulations of Bangladesh and the JICA Guidelines. The executing agency held meetings to explain the land acquisition and resettlement to the residents to be affected according to the latest development plan of bridges and approach roads and reached agreement with the residents about the resettlement action program for each of the project bridges. ⑦ Other/Monitoring: In this Project, the construction contractor is responsible for monitoring the air, noise, water, and other pollution during construction, and the executing agency is responsible for monitoring the noise and other pollution after the commencement of the service. The executing agency will also monitor the processes of the land acquirement and resettlement as well as the recovery of livelihoods while receiving support from consultants and local NGOs. Moreover, external monitoring will be carried out by a third-party organization under contract.
Pollution Measures. During the work, the appropriate pollution preventive measures will be taken according to Egyptian construction guidelines and other resources to prevent construction materials from scattering and prevent paint and oil/grease from polluting soil in the area. Also, water will be leached appropriately, and work hours will be limited to control noise and vibrations. After handover, emissions are expected to comply with Egyptian and IFC air quality standards. Wastewater will first be treated at existing wastewater treatment plants, and then discharged at a water quality compliant with Egyptian standards.
