1.1. PUNJAB CITIES GOVERANCE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (PCGIP)

Government of the Punjab with the financial assistance from World Bank is implementing Punjab Cities

Governance Improvement Project (PCGIP). The project is focused at strengthening of systems and

governance improvement for enhanced service delivery and being implemented in five large cities

(Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Gujranwala, and Rawalpindi).

The project development objectives are to:

� Support the Province of Punjab’s cities in strengthening systems for improved planning, resource

management, and accountability

� Improve the capacity to respond promptly and effectively to Crisis or Emergency.

The objective of the PCGIP is to support Punjab’s large cities in strengthening institutional frameworks

and developing systems for improved urban planning, expenditure and accountability and to capacitate

these cities to improve delivery of municipal services in a medium to long term on a more sustainable

basis. The Project has a number of financial, social, economic and environmental benefits, including

institutional development, rehabilitation and improvement of municipal services, better quality of life

and employment generation. In addition a large number of secondary benefits are also likely to accrue in

the medium to long term such as institutional reforms at local level.

1.2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ESMF )

Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) serves as a guiding document to address the

social and environmental issues during projects implementation covering following phases at: Planning

and design, Construction and rehabilitation, Operation and maintenance, Decommissioning and closure

phases.

Overall objectives of ESMF is to

� Ensure that schemes to be designed and implemented by the Government are environmentally sound

and socially acceptable.

� Ensure that all the schemes comply with the national regulatory and WB policy frameworks.

� Internalize and integrate the environmental and social management procedures and processes in the

routine projects/operations/service delivery of CDG’s and city entities.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION



Screening will be first step of the environmental and social management procedure. Each scheme during its preparation stage will be screened with respect to environmental and social considerations. The Safeguards Specialist will be responsible to carry out this screening. The screening criteria are presented below.

1.3. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SCREENING OF SCHEMES

Environmental Categories: Depending on size, cost, location and the nature, scheme will have varying impacts on city environment. The rigorousness of environmental assessment requires identifying and mitigating the impacts, largely dependent upon the complexities of scheme. To facilitate effective screening, schemes are categorized into three categories viz. E-1, E-2 and E-3.

(i) E-1 schemes are those wherein major environmental impacts are foreseen;

(ii) E-2 schemes are expected to have only moderate environmental impacts; and

(iii) E-3 schemes are the schemes with negligible environmental impacts and hence, these can be termed as “environmentally benign”.

Since PCGIP funds are exclusive for operation and maintenance and rehabilitation schemes, schemes

falling under E-1 category shall not be funded.

Social Categories: Based on the number of households that may be affected by the scheme, i.e. Affected Households (AHs) and magnitude of impacts, schemes are categorized as S-1, S-2 and S-3.

(i) S-1 schemes are those schemes that will impact more than 40 households, and are expected to have significant negative social consequences;

(ii) S-2 schemes are those which will impact less than 40 households and are expected to have significant social consequences affecting local inhabitants;

(iii) S-3 schemes are not expected to have any significant adverse social impacts;

Since PCGIP funds are exclusively allocated for operation and maintenance and rehabilitation schemes,

thus schemes falling under S-1 and S-2 categories shall not be funded through the project

1.4. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP) The type of environmental and social assessment requirements for each scheme will be determined according to the following criteria:

• Schemes having E1 and S1 categories: full EIA 1(or ESIA2) will need to be conducted for each individual scheme. In addition, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be prepared for each scheme with S1 category.

1 Environmental Impact Assessment 2 Environmental and Social Impact Assessment



• Schemes having E2 and S2 categories: Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) will be prepared for each individual scheme. In addition, an Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan will be prepared for each scheme with S2 category.

• Schemes having E3 and S3 categories: no further assessment is needed.

ESMPs preparation: For each scheme with E2 category, ESMP will be prepared by the Safeguards

Specialist at the CDG3 level. The ESMP preparation will be an integral part of the scheme

preparation/appraisal process, and ESMP will be an integral part of the scheme documentation. The

ESMP will include details of the works to be carried out under the scheme, the site-specific

environmental and social information (baseline), and site-specific and scheme-specific mitigation

measures. The ESMPs will be reviewed and cleared by the DO (Environment) of the respective City.

ESMP Implementation During the scheme implementation, the mitigation and monitoring measures

included in the ESMP will need to be implemented. The ESMP will be included in the bidding

documents (if the scheme is to be contracted out), and hence it will be included in the contractor’s scope

of works/services. Similarly, if the scheme is to be implemented by the concerned department itself, the

ESMP will be included in the scope of work/services. The ESMP cost will be included in the scheme

implementation cost. Environmental and social monitoring will also be carried out to ensure effective

implementation of the ESMP. First tier of monitoring will be conducted along with the monitoring of the

works being carried out under the scheme. At the second tier, the Safeguards Specialist will carry out

spot checks to ensure ESMP implementation. Checklists prepared on the basis of mitigation measures

proposed in the ESMP will be used for this purpose. Photographic record will also be maintained for this

purpose.

For each scheme with E-2 category 4as per ESMF document, ESMP prepared by the Environment &

Social Safeguard Specialist at the CDG level to ensure ESMF implementation at City level. The ESMP

preparation is an integral part of the scheme preparation/appraisal process, and ESMP will be an integral

part of the scheme contract documentation. The ESMP include details of the works to be carried out

under the scheme, the site-specific environmental and social information (baseline) and site-specific and

scheme-specific mitigation measures and ESMP cost estimation.

2.1. CITY PROFILE

Lahore is the capital of the Punjab and the second largest city in the country. With a rich history

dating back over a millennium, Lahore is a major cultural centre of Pakistan. One of the most densely

populated cities in the world, Lahore remains an economic, political, transportation, entertainment, and

educational hub. Lahore is the largest city and provincial capital of Punjab with a population of about

6.8million (2011 estimates). Situated between 31°15′—31°45′ N and 74°01′—74°39′ E, Lahore is

bounded by the Sheikhupura District towards north and west, by India towards east, by Kasur District

towards south, and by Nankana Sahib towards west and southwest. The Ravi River flows on the

northern side of Lahore. About 87% population has access to safe water supply. Increase in

water supply and efficiency improvements through water conservation and water loss reduction are

required to meet the demands ofrapidly increasing population5.

Air pollution and unchecked vehicular emission causes deadly effects on human health. About 2 % of

total deaths occur due to air pollution in Lahore. This report also mentioned that 22,700 people die

because of increase in urban air pollution.

EPD18also showed that Lead (Pb) in the blood of people found living in congested areas of Lahore. Due

to population expansion, far industries now come under the boundary of Lahore. Moreover, clean

drinking water is inadequate in Lahore and mostly people have no access to clean drinking water due to

due to poor sewerage systems at various parts of Lahore (Taha 2010)19. In addition, Lahore is also facing

an extensive winter fog lasting for 2-3 weeks analyzed in the past few years causing enormous economic

loss, health problems like respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

3.2.2. Noise In Lahore city, the noise pollution is very common due to the vehicle horns, low maintenance quality etc.

Especially the people near the busy road crossings are very much affected due the traffic noise. The

vehicles emission represents the greatest source of noise and dust pollution in Lahore. There are 19,

44,709 approximately vehicles on the roads of the Lahore20.

A distractive feature of the Lahore Metropolitan City’s vehicle population in trucks, buses, vans, three

wheel vehicles which are mostly driven by two stroke engines. Four road crossings were selected to

monitor the dust and noise levels i.e. Club Chowk Model Town, YateemKhanaChowk, QurtbaChowk

and YadgarChowk. Club chowk Model Town was less polluted as compare to other three road crossings

in terms of noise and dust pollution. 21

In Lahore, as in most other cities, vehicular pollution is the main culprit for air and noise pollution. The

vehicle boom has spelt doom for the city. The road space being limited, the growing number of vehicles

forces low gear driving, pushing up the pollutant levels to an undesirable limit. The absence of a strong

public transport system, failure of pollution control norms, poor quality of fuel and ignorance of vehicle

maintenance all have contributed to the environmental mess(Computerized Monitoring of Noise & Dust

Levels at Different Road Crossings of Lahore).

3.2.3. Soil Morphology The city of Lahore lies on extremely flat land. The highest point within city is about 700 ft above sea

level. In the south-west, abutting the actual flood plain of Ravi river, the land falls to 682 ft. Gradients

are extremely flat and falls of only 0.3 to 0.4 m per Km* are experienced in many areas of the city.

The soils underlying this area are alluvial in nature, consisting of silts and sands with lenses of clay. The

bearing capacity varies, a minimum allowable bearing pressure of 80 Km/ sq.m (0.75 tons/ sq. ft)* can

be safely assumed. Due to rich surface irrigation, the fertile soils of the floodplains give a good per unit

yield.22

3.2.4. Climate

The climate of Lahore in general is the healthy one, but has large variations. Dry heat at the height of

summer in May and June is followed by humid and sultry weather in July to September. The pleasantly

cold winters and freshness of spring are always welcome. The winter season lasts from about the mid

November to mid February when temperature may drop to 1.7°C. The spring season of the Lahore is

from mid February.

3.2.5. Water Resources and its Quality

The only source of water supply to the inhabitants of mega city of Lahore for domestic as well

as industrial purposes is ground water which is of the order of 1300 cusecs as estimated above.

Although, the aquifer under Lahore is a part of the huge groundwater reservoir underlying the Indus

Plain, extensive groundwater withdrawal has formed a trough in groundwater levels which is gradually

expanding. The watertable, which was about 5 m deep in 1960, has declined now to more than 40 m in

central part of the city due to over abstraction of groundwater by public and private tubewells and

reduction of recharge. Lahore aquifer is under stress, regulation and monitoring of quality and quantity

of groundwater pumped and disposed off is the need of the day for assuring sustainability of this

precious resources ( Basharat&Rizvi, 2011)24.

3.3. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF CITY

3.3.1. Environment Sensitive Areas Environmental sensitive areas are more prone towards human disturbance. For this scheme, no wetland,

estuarine, river, protected area and cultural heritage sites lie within scope of work of scheme area and no

significant environmental impacts has been envisaged, however mitigation measures have been

recommended against less significant environmental concerns.

This scheme is environmentally sound & sustainable.

3.3.2. Flora & Fauna Preservation of biodiversity is of global concern, but thecauses of loss and their solutions are very often

local in scale. Road development continues to be a major player in the overall reduction of biodiversity,

and properplanning at the project level can go a long way in limiting the loss, while still serving the

transportneed. No wild animal/endangered species is found in the area except pet animals.

No flora & fauna will be affected due to project construction activities.

1. Design Phase

Shifting of Public Utilities Disturbance to the public may occur from

Electric poles/Transformer • Electric poles in the middle

of road need to be painted with reflective color to avoid any accidents and to highlight it.

• If relocation of electric poles/transformers is required; it should be well ahead of the commencement during construction work.

spilt on paved roads pose risk of road accidents to motorcyclists and can shatter windscreens of other vehicles

responsible for any clean up resulting from any failure.

• Over spray of bitumen products outside the road surface on the road vegetation should be prevented.

• Concrete mixing on the ground shall not be allowed.

• All runoff from batching plant should be strictly controlled and cement-contaminated water should be collected, stored and disposed off at the designated site;

• Contaminated water storage facilities should not be allowed to over flow and appropriate protection from rain should be implemented;

• Materials shall not be loaded to a higher level than the side and tail boards and shall be covered with agood quality tarpaulin;

• Soil contamination by asphalt will be minimized by placing all containers in caissons.

• Collection of oil and tube drips in container during



repairing construction equipment vehicles;

• Decanting and or controlled disposal of oil and grease as collected at collection tanks of maintenance yard and chemical storage areas.

• Implement dust suppression measures for all soil stockpiles

Land acquisition for the temporarily storage of materials and machinery

• Material storage may cause problem to normal movement of public and social grievances

• No land will be acquired for the storage of materials & machinery as no widening of road involved under scope of work.

• Continue provision of material will be ensured


Handling of Solid Waste Solid waste may be generated from the active construction sites and also from the camp sites.

• Bitumen waste should be stored in closed containers and placed in a fenced storage area with paved floor.

• Proper storage and site practices to minimize the potential for damage or contamination of construction material.

• General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins to separate from construction material.




Traffic control • Existing traffic volumes and capacity on the roads likely to be substantially impacted.

• Traffic jams and congestion may take place and cause inconvenience to the people

• Efforts should be made to accommodate the traffic along project site

• Alternate traffic routes should be defined

• Provision of signboards directing the drivers about the diversion.

• Providing and maintaining traffic management comprising diversion warning, guiding and regulatory signage, channelizers and delineators, lightening etc.


Health & Safety of Workers at active construction and camp site

• Health problems or immediate risk may take place.

• Providing basic medical service and supplies to workers on-site.(First Aid Boxes)

• Protection devices (ear muffs) will be provided to the workers operating in the vicinity of high noise generating machines.

• Provision of protective clothing for laborers handling hazardous materials, e.g. helmet, adequate footwear for bituminous pavement works, protective goggles, gloves etc.

• Ensure strict use of wearing




these protective clothing during work activities.

• Availability of safe drinking water for the workers.

• Adequate signage, lightning devices, barriers and persons with flags during construction to manage traffic at construction sites, haulage and access roads.

• Provision of proper safety signage at sensitive/accident-prone spots.

Air Quality

i. Dust emissions

ii. Dust plumes from

construction

operations

• Increase in the percentage of heavy vehicles as a fraction of the total number of passing per day; and, vehicles

• Dust plumes from construction operations commonly, earthworks (excavation, grading,shaping), haulage and dumping of soil havealways generated excessive dust duringin the city and suburbs and possibly lead toshort-term respiratory health effects (coughs).

• To suppress dust by continually watering dusty construction areas with a water bowser.

• Utilise noise mitigation measures (including the construction of bunds, metal sheet walls) in order to limit noise levels at sensitive receptors

iii. Noise Pollution

• Due to heavy movement of vehicles, noise may generate

• Ensure that noise suppression systems on plant and vehicles are maintained.

Vibration • Shock waves can be produced due to heavy machinery working. Loss to nearby structures can be resulted.

• Use of vibratory rollers should be prohibited.


C. Social Issues and its Management

Scheme will produce positive impacts for the local communities by generating jobs and providing good state of art infrastructure. However, following issue might be generated:

Gender Issues

Project activities may cause hindurance to normal passage especially for women

Workers would be trained to address privacy issues and ethically behaved.


D. Operation Phase

RoadSafety Possibility of street accidents during operation

Installation of safety signs at appropriate places.
