1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Government of Pakistan aims to increase the share of coal-based generation from almost

none in 2016 to 15% over the next few years. In support of this initiative Jamshoro Power

Company Limited (JPCL) and Genco Holding Company (GENCO), supported by the Asian

Development Bank (ADB), is planning a brownfield extension of the Jamshoro Power Station to

improve the total plant efficiency and increase the power output. The project is known as the

Jamshoro Power Generation Project (JPGP).

The project site is approximately 15km northwest of Hyderabad, and about 150km northeast of

Karachi in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. The lndus River is about 3.5km east of the power

plant site. Currently there are four fossil fuel-fired electricity generating units installed and

operating at the site (Unit 1 is oil fired and Units 2 – 4 have dual-fuel capability (oil/gas)).

JPGP is proposed to initially comprise of 1x660MW (net) supercritical power plant with facilities

to expand to 2x660MW plants. The project aims to decrease the existing power shortfall in

Pakistan and address environmental concerns from the existing oil-fired power units. The new

boiler(s) will be designed to utilise imported sub-bituminous coal blended at 80/20 with local

lignite as its fuel.

As part of the feasibility study for the project and as required by the ADB an environmental audit

was undertaken of the existing plant. The audit was included as part of the environmental and

social impact assessment (ESIA) for the 2x660MW supercritical power plant (Environmental

Impact Assessment; Jamshoro Power Generation Project; Hagler Bailly Pakistan, October 29,

2013 (the ESIA report)). Section 6 of the ESIA report (Issues Related to Existing Plant and

Corrective Actions) identified several items related to the existing plant that require remediation

or rehabilitation.

The items that were identified are subject to a loan condition applied by ADB that requires the

identified remediation works to have a signed contract in place prior to commencement of works

on the site associated with the new facility (660MW supercritical power plant).

1.2 Activities during reporting period (July 01 to December 31 2017)

At the time of compiling this report (January 2018) JPGP is in the early implementation stage

with the following activities underway:

Final proposals for construction and operation of the 2x660MW (gross) supercritical power plant

have been evaluated and are waiting award. Award is dependent upon the revised Loan

Agreements (i.e. ADB and IDB) being accepted by all parties and the necessary conditions

precedent being accomplished by JPCL. It is currently envisaged that the Contracts will be

awarded by the third quarter of 2018.

The status of the remediation packages is provided data Table 1.

This report is the sixth bi-annual environmental monitoring report for the project covering the

period from July 01, 2017 to December 31, 2017 inclusive. Subsequent bi-annual reports will be

reconfigured as necessary to reflect activities and available information as the project develops.

1.3 Environmental assessment

The ESIA study and subsequent ESIA report for the proposed 2x660MW power plant were

developed for the Asian Development Bank and include reference to Pakistan national

standards and regulatory requirements and international guidelines including ADBs Safeguard

Policy Statement (2009) and the World Bank/International Finance Corporation Environment,

Health and Safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants (2008) (IFC EHS guidelines).

International treaties that Pakistan is a signatory to are also considered.

The EIA report identifies that both Pakistan national environmental quality standards (NEQS)

and IFC EHS guidelines will have to be complied with. In operation this means that the most

stringent of the NEQA and IFC EHS Guidelines environmental limits/standards/guidelines will

have to be complied with (with the exception of ambient air quality standards where national

standards, where they exist, take precedence over IFC EHS guidelines).

A gap analysis with respect to environmental aspects in the draft bidding documents and

technical specifications was prepared by the project implementation consultant (PIC – Mott

MacDonald) and a number of items were identified that were included in the technical

requirements for the 2x660MW supercritical power plant when the tender documents were

issued.



2 Environmental monitoring and management

2.1 Environmental monitoring and management overview

At the time of compiling this report (January 2018) three work packages were under progress:

Lot 1 – Evaporation pond renovation

Lot 2 – Blow-down channel renovation

Lot 4 – Municipal solid waste disposal facility

Lot 1 and Lot 2 are being undertaken by Sachal Engineering Works (Pvt) Ltd (Sachal).

Construction environmental management plans have been developed and approved for both

lots. The approved CEMPs include details of scheduled environmental monitoring during the

construction process. Monitoring of environmental parameters for Lot 1 and Lot 2 are

summarised in this report. The monitoring reports for Lot 1 and Lot 2 prepared by Sachal are

attached as Appendix A and Appendix B respectively.

Lot 3 being undertaken by a consortium of Mian Abdul Jabbar & Co and Indus Construction Co

(MAJ ICC). A construction environmental management plan has been developed for Lot 3.

Monitoring of environmental parameters for Lot 3 are summarised in this report. The monitoring

report for Lot 3 prepared by MAJ ICC is attached as Appendix C.

2.2 Summary of environmental monitoring during reporting period

2.2.1 Lot 1 – Rehabilitation of evaporation ponds

Lot 1 involves clearing four existing evaporation ponds of heavy vegetation growth and

sediment deposits that have built up over many years of use. Repairs are then to be carried out

to any damage to the structure of the ponds and associated infrastructure as necessary to make

the ponds functional. Mechanical excavators, dozers and haulage trucks, tractors and trailers

are all used for removing and transporting material. Excavated material is deposited at a

designated site within the JPCL site.

The information reported here is extracted from the contractor’s (Sachal) ‘Bi Annual

Environmental Monitoring and Management Report; Rehabilitation of Effluent Ponds, July to

December 2017’ a copy of which is attached as Appendix A.

The following parameters are monitored and reported:

(a) Ambient air quality

(b) Traffic safety

(c) Noise Levels

(d) Surface water and soil

(e) Waste management

(f) Cultural heritage management

(g) Occupational health and safety

Many of the parameters are monitored visually on an ongoing basis and reported qualitatively.

Where quantitative data is available it is reported here.



a) Ambient air quality. Taken primarily as dust, visual assessments are made and water

sprays are used to control dust levels routinely and in response to observed excessive

dust levels. No excessive dust issues have been reported during the reporting period.

b) Traffic safety. Traffic safety is controlled on site by imposing speed limits and

instructions to drivers. Traffic activity is routinely monitored by environment, health and

safety personnel on site. No adverse traffic related incidents have been reported during

the reporting period.

c) Noise levels. Noise is monitored on site from a health and safety perspective.

Monitoring data is reported in Table 3.3.1 and Table 3.3.2 of the contactors bi-annual

environmental report for Lot 1 in Appendix A. No breaches of the 85dB health and

safety noise limits were recorded during the reporting period. Noise monitoring is

reported in Table 2 and Table 3.

Bi Annual Environmental Monitoring & Management Report


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

3.0 Impact on Environmental Parameters during construction phase

3.1 Ambient Air Quality

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

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

at the site which could create significant emission of particulate matters. Since

rehabilitation of evaporation ponds would most likely involve significant earth works,

increase in particulate matter in the air from wind-blown dust is also a concern,

especially considering the close proximity of the villages (Local stake holders) to the

project site. Ambient Air Quality was monitored by daily and weekly environmental

inspections at site.

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

3.3 Noise Levels During project activities, major source of noise is expected to be generated from

transport vehicles which include cranes excavator, trucks, LTVs etc. Regular

inspections of all equipment and vehicles are carried out to make sure the noise levels

are below 85 db.

3.5 Waste Management

The solid wastes of domestic nature generated mainly in the labor sheds are regularly

being collected in separate bins and being disposed through municipal cleaners and

being dumping in a designated municipal dumping place. In addition, a small amount of

solid kitchen waste is generated during day time which are also being disposed in

methodic way through municipal cleaner. The environmental and health and safety

inspections are carried out on regular basis to check the compliance.

3.6 Cultural Heritage management During project activities (excavation) and manual digging continual supervision is carried out throughout the project and environmental inspections are carried out regularly. Also chance find procedure is established and implemented as stated in CEMP.

3.7 Impact of OHS at project site Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs): During project activities, the workers may face

minor injuries due to accidental negligence. The regular provided services are depicted

in the following table-5.

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

including vehicles, regular water spray are being accomplished at construction

site. Movement of construction debris are being covered while hauled and

stored, roads properly cleaned and water sprayed in order to minimize dust

in air. To reduce generation of dust the stone crusher and batching plant have

not been allowed at construction site.

4.2 Water Quality

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

management has been ensured to avoid any contamination of any sort around

the project boundary. During the day time, small quantity of office waste is

generated (approximately 2kg) per day which is properly disposed-off through

designated municipal corporation locations.

4.3 Noise Level

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

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

Unnecessary vehicle movement has been avoided at project site;

Switch off the engines while remain unused.

4.4 OHS at project site

Personal Safety Equipment (PSE): Use appropriate personal protection

equipment, such as safety boots, helmets, gloves, protective clothing, goggles

and ear protection to comply HSE obligation during construction phase.

1. Introduction

1.1. General Information About the Back Ground of Project

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contamination of surface water in case of runoff

Transportation of contamination from leaching to the ground water aquifer

Possible attraction of scavengers to the solid waste dumps

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

General nuisance and odor.

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

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

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

bin and segregation of waste

Awareness campaigns on municipal waste management including segregation, reuse and

recycling

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

1.2. Project Location

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

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

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

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

country.

2. Activities that Have Been Undertaken During The Reporting Period

Following activities have been performed from July to December 2017.

Awareness program

Water quality analysis

All these are discussed as under:

2.1. Awareness Program

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

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

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

Following are the main objectives of awareness program.

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

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

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

with nature a God’s gift.

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

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

and draw backs of improper management of MSW.

2.2. Water Quality Analysis

Drinking and ground water quality were analysed as discussed below.

2.2.1. Drinking Water Quality

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

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

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

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

made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. Water serves as a lubricant in digestion and

almost all other body processes. Our bodies can control over-heating through perspiration from sweat

glands in the skin and from evaporation which produces a cooling effect. Blood is also routed into

areas close to the surface of the skin where it can be cooled and then carried back to the interior of

the body. Conversing in a cold environment, the skin maintains proper body temperature by shunting

the blood away from the exterior surface thereby conserving heat within the body. The movement of

water within our cellular systems also transports vital blood plasma which is 92% made of water.

Blood plasma play a critical role in buffering the body’s pH, circulating antibodies from the immune

system, and regulating osmotic balance which all helps to maintain proper body temperature. In this

regard, drinking water quality was analysed in order to meet international as well as national standard

and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Figure 2.15 shows the drinking water quality. At

site, clean and fresh water is provided to every worker. The result regarding water parameter are

within the WHO guidelines.

4. Detail of Any Environmental Incidents During The Reporting Period

Until no any environmental incident like spills, excessive emissions to atmosphere, water quality

contamination have been determined. Each and every thing is smoothly going on. At site pure



25

drinking water is provided to all workers. At site, all workers are satisfied and environment friendly

atmosphere is provided. Only in October and November 2017, two minor case happened as given in

Annexure I and II.

5. Any Other Documents and Relevant Data

At this stage, there is no any other documents and data relevant to the environmental and social

management of the project.

6. Conclusions and Action Plan For The Next Period

6.1. Conclusions and Recommendations

During the reporting period, it has been concluded that project activities are environment smoothly

going. Until no any unpleasant event has been occurred. Awareness program has been finalized and

it was observed that residents of the colony are very much interested in proper waste management

system. Drinking water quality assessment show that water quality parameters were within the range

of WHO guidelines for water quality parameters.

6.2. Action Plan For The Next Period

Following activities would be performed during the next reporting period

Performance Assessment of Awareness programs

Instalment of dustbins

Collection of MSW

Transportation of MSW

Segregation of MSW at site

Drinking and ground water quality monitoring

Air quality monitoring

Noise pollution assessment during excavation work
