Executive Summary (English)
Proponent
This Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report has been prepared for the rehabilitation
and re-construction of 30.575 km long all weather district road connecting Luitel gaun of
Palungtar Municipality and Bhachek of Ajirkot Rural Municipality (then Hansapur VDC) in
Gorkha district. The District Coordination Committee (DCC), Gorkha is the implementing
agency at the district level under Asian Development Bank (ADB)/Swiss Agency for
Development and Cooperation (SDC) and Government of Nepal (GoN) funded Earthquake
Emergency Assistance project (EEAP) and the proponent of the IEE study for the road sub-
project.
Background
EEAP is a project being implemented by convenient loan and grant assistance from ADB,
grant technical assistance from SDC, counterpart funding from GoN participating districts
and contributions from project beneficiaries. The goal of the project is to support
Government of Nepal to accelerate rehabilitation and reconstruction following the
devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major aftershock of 12 May 2015. The
project will support the rebuilding of schools, roads, and district-level government buildings,
and strengthen resilience to future disasters.
Rationale of the IEE
Preparation of IEE for district road is mandatory according to Act relating to Reconstruction
of the Earthquake affected structures 2015, Rule relating to Reconstruction of the
Earthquake affected structures 2016, Working procedure relating to Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) for Reconstruction of the Earthquake affected structures 2016 and first
amendment (2016) as well as ADB Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. This IEE report of
Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road sub project Gorkha district
is prepared based on Terms of Reference (ToR) approved on 25/03/2016 A.D by the
Secretary level decision of the Ministry of Federal Affairs & Local Development (MoFALD).
Length of Road in approved ToR was 39 km on the basis of initial survey however the detail
design of 30.575 km length of road is only prepared. Therefore, IEE report has been
prepared for the length of 30.575 km length only. With the promulgation of Act relating to
Reconstruction of the Earthquake affected structures 2015, final IEE report has been
submitted to National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) for approval.
Objectives of the IEE study
The main objective of the IEE study is to identify the impacts of physical, biological, socio-
economic and cultural environment of the sub-project area and recommend practical and
site specific environmental mitigation and enhancement measures, prepare and implement
environmental management plan for the sub-project.
Study Methodology
The findings and conclusions of the initial environmental examination report are based on
the analysis of the information collected from the field from 10-17 April 2016 AD by
undertaking a walk-through environmental survey along the route and secondary information
supplemented by the social and technical teams working on the resettlement survey and
detail survey.

Relevancy of the Proposal
The reconstruction and rehabilitation of this road will provide physical and economical
accesses to the people of north east part to district headquarter and other parts of the
country.
Description of the Project and its Environment
The Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road is a district road and
has been proposed for rehabilitation and reconstruction as all weather road. The road
formation width is 6.25 m and total length of this road is 30.575 km and total estimated
project cost is NRs. 774,030,012.11 of which NRs. 701,147,466.30 is civil work cost
The elevation of road ranges from 439 masl at Luitel gaun to 1,661 masl at Bhachek. This
sub-project lies in tropical region and the average maximum and minimum temperature is
350C and minimum of 30C respectively (Source: DCC Gorkha). The average annual rainfall
in the district is 1,600 mm. The road mainly passes through agricultural land, forest land and
settlement area. Total of 2.707 ha agricultural land, 0.715 ha forest area, 0.433 ha
settlement area and 0.408 ha barren land will be converted to the road built up area.
Geologically, the road lies in Higher Himalaya of Western Nepal and passes through
residual soil deposits. Greenish, Greygrittle phyllites, augnesis rocks are found along the
road. Majority of road passes through ranimatta formation followed by basic rocks, ulleri
formation and Ghanapokhari formation. The road passes through Hudi khola (at various Ch
12+735, 13+010, 13+720, 14+220 and 14+750). Ambient air and water quality in the
proposed project area is found to be good and there’s no noise pollution.
The dominant forest species reported along the forest of the road are Saal (Shorea robusta)
Chilaune (Schima wallichii), Katus (Castanopsis indica), Uttis (Alnus nepalensis), Salla
(Pinus roxburghii), Timur (Zanthoxylum alatum), Amaro (Spondias pinnata), Tejpatta
(Cinnamonum tamale) etc. Dumsi (Hystrix sps), Badar (Macaca mulatta), Deer (Muntiacus
muntjak), Shyal (Canis aulis), Malshapro (Martef flabigula), Banbiralo (Felis chaus),
Lokharke (Ratufa indica) are the wild animals reported in the forests of road corridor.
Similarly, birds are Kalij (Lophura leucomelanos), Dhukur (Streptopella senegalensis) etc.
The road does not fall under any protected or buffer zone area. However, the road passes
through community forest and national forest.
Along the road corridor, Palungtar Municipality and Ajirkot Rural Municipality (then Hansapur
VDC) as well as Siranchok Rural Municipality (then Jaubari, Harmi, Thalajung and Choprak
VDCs) 3,810 population resides with 734 households within 15 settlements. These
settlements are Bhachek Bazar, Balekhu, Dharapani, Chisapani, Chipleti, Chilaune,
Thalajung, Tallopam, Chittapokhari, Bhalumare, Thumki-gaun, Thaneswor, Harmi
Bhanjyang, Aappipal and Baddada. Brahmin, Chhetri, Newar, Gurung, Tamang and Dalit
live within the settlements of this road.
The main occupation of the people residing along the road is agriculture and livestock.
People are carrying out other economic activities like working as labour, business and
cottage industries.

Beneficial Impacts
The immediate beneficial impacts from road development are apparent in the construction
phase like there will be various employment opportunities for (skilled 33,442 and unskilled
120,256 person days). Other beneficial impacts include enhancement of local business,
development in skills of local people from skill developing training, awareness raising
training and involvement in the construction of the project.
During operation stage, an improved road access will bring an improvement of food security
situation and overall economic and social stability. The road will also provide cheap, safe
and fast transport of goods and services from rural areas to urban centers and vice versa.
There is a possibility of increased economic opportunities and significant growth and
extension of the local markets along the road like in Bhachhek bazaar, Chittapokhari,
Harmibhanjyang and nearby settlements. In addition, construction of road will lead to
appreciation of land values particularly near the market and settlement areas.
Adverse Impacts
The physical adverse impacts during construction of the road will be due to change in
landownership, slope instability and air, dust and water pollution and hapazard spoil
disposal. Similarly, biological impacts during construction will be loss of forest area and
disturbance to wildlife and bird habitat. Total 1,244 trees (583 from CF, 142 from NF and
519 from private land) will be cleared during road construction.
Socio-economic impacts during the construction works there will be loss of 2.707 ha
agricultural land. During upgrading the road 5 m in either side from the center point, House

public school toilet at the chainage 19+280 should be removed.
During operation stage, vehicular movement, monsoon rain, cutting of trees on the unstable
slopes might result in slope instability and hence erosion and landslides might occur.
Flowing water on the side drain of the road might cause erosion of soil on adjacent
agricultural land. Vehicular emissions will result in air and noise pollution. Because of easy
accessibility to the forest, it will affect forest resources and wildlife.

Benefit Augmentation Measures
Environmental and awareness raising training such as income generation activities,
construction of soft engineering structures and bioengineering works for workers and
contractors will be conducted. More emphasis will be given to women workers as at least
20% workers should be women.
Mitigation Measures
Bioengineering will be done to stabilize slopes and spoils will be disposed in 5 identified
spoil disposal sites at the chainage 3+500, 15+300, 23+250, 26+300 and 28+500. There is
provision of toe walls for balancing cut and fill volume. A separate Resettlement Plan (RP)
has been prepared to address land and property acquisition as well as compensation
issues. The construction of road will be based on Contract. Affected families will be given
high priority for employment and skill development trainings. The workers will be provided
with helmets, masks, muffles depending on the nature of the construction work. Drinking
water facility and temporary pit latrine will be constructed and disposal of excavated
materials in the water bodies will be avoided. Workers will be provided with medicines and
group accidental insurance facility.
Forestry clearance approval will be obtained from the District Forest Office (DFO) in order to
fell tree from the construction site. CFUGs will be provided support through DFO for the
compensatory plantation against tree loss and protection for 5 years. CFUGs will be
supported for the plantation of 14,575 plants with estimated cost of NRs 2,328,211.00.
Similarly, plantation of 519 plants (estimated cost is NRs. 34,383.75 will be done in private
lands at the ratio of 1:1.Likewise, support for plantationand protection for 5yearsof 3,550
plants in national forest will be provided to DFO with estimated cost of NRs. 567,077.00.
During operation stage, minor landslide and mass wasting will be immediately cleared and
slope restored with appropriate technology. Appropriate sign boards will be erected
informing drivers about prohibition of blowing horns in the forest areas and potential areas
for wildlife crossing. For developing managed settlement, awareness programs will be
conducted. Appropriate road safety measures will be applied.
Public Consultation and Information Disclosure
In order to prepare the IEE sub-project, 15 days public notice was published on 31/03/2016
A.D in Himalaya Times national Nepali daily newspaper seeking written opinions from
concerned then VDCs, then DDC, DFO, CFUGs, schools, health posts and related local
organizations. Public consultation was done with the local people living near the road,
teachers and local leaders during the preparation of IEE report. Similarly, meetings were
held with the local community in order to aware them of incoming road sub-project and to
identify the possible beneficial and adverse impacts due to this sub-project.
IEE report along with executive summary, identified impacts, recommended benefit
augmentation and mitigation measures and EMP was prepared in Nepali language for public
disclosure. Likewise, after the incorporation of comments from ADB and NRA, final IEE
report will be sent for approval. The approved IEE report will be accessible to interested
parties and the general public through the information Gorkha DCC and websites of NRA,
ADB and EEAP.

Grievance Redress Mechanism
A four level Grievance Redress Mechanism has been provision in project to address the
grievances of local bodies and affected person. Affected person can register grievances
related to project. These grievances will be addressed from sub-project level to Grievance
Redress Committee (GRC).
Environmental Management Plan
An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been proposed with present report
including issues identified, possible effects and impacts, measures for their mitigation and
monitoring method and schedule. Different monitoring indicators on physical, biological,
socio-economic and cultural environment have also identified. Overall project level
monitoring will be conducted through the environmental management section (EMS) of NRA
whereas the sub-project level monitoring will be arranged through safeguard desk in each
DTO. For the Implementation of EMP, total amount of NRs. 7,129,270.70 has been
proposed. Out of which, NRs 3,549,599.45 has been included already in civil work cost.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The IEE study of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road sub-
project reveals that the benefits from the implementation of the road project are more
significant and long term in nature against the adverse impacts most of which could be
mitigated or avoided. Therefore, this IEE is sufficient for approval of the road sub-project.
This sub-project is recommended for the implementation with the incorporation of mitigation
measures and environmental management.

1.2 Background 4. Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) is a project being implemented
with the loan financing of ADB, Swiss technical support and counterpart funding from the
Government of Nepal (GoN). EEAP will support GoN to accelerate recovery and
reconstruction following the devastating earthquake of 25 April 2015 and the major
aftershock of 12 May 2015. The Project covers 12 affected districts2 in eastern, middle and
western development region of Nepal. The project will support rebuilding of schools, roads
and district-level government buildings, and strengthening resilience to future disasters. A

total of 450 km district roads damaged by the earthquakes and landslides will be
rehabilitated and reconstructed under the EEAP. Project roads and bridges will be
rehabilitated following the Build Back Better features for road safety and climate resilience.
5. Earthquake Emergency Assistance Project (EEAP) under the Ministry of Federal
Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD) is the implementing agency for the district roads
sub-component. EEAP has established Central Level Project Implementation Unit (CLPIU),
headed by Project Manager to implement the rehabilitation and reconstruction program.
CLPIU is supported through its District Level Project Implementation Unit (DLPIU). The
technical and environmental supervision is supported by DCC/DTO.
6. Environmental safeguard measures are vital in order to assess the environmental
consequences of the rural road for rehabilitation and upgrading in order to suggest
appropriate, practical and site specific mitigation and augmentation measures. Hence, the
terms of reference (ToR) is prepared to conduct an IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi
Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road, Gorkha district under EEAP.
1.3 Restructuring at Local Level 7. Government of Nepal has declared the name, number, boundary, ward’s boundary of 744 rural municipality and municipality with 481 rural municipalities, 246 municipalities, 13
sub-metropolitan cities, 4 metropolitan cities. The restructured bodies have come into force
with the publication of notice by MoFALD in Nepal Gazette on 10th March, 2017. The village
assembly and municipal assembly will make decision on this after the election in rural
municipality and municipality.
8. With the publication of this notice by GoN, old local bodies like VDCs/DDCs are
dissolved. A previous VDC has virtually turned into ward(s) of the municipality or ward(s) of
Rural Municipality (RM). MoFALD has circulated local level administrative operation order,
2073 for continuing and managing services at local level untill the elected members take
over the rural municipality, municipality and district assembly. DDC will be operated in name
of District coordination committee (DCC). The duties and responsibilities of DDC will be
carried by DCC. Project run by DDC will be run by DCC for this fiscal year. Multi-year
project run by DDC, funded by GON and donor agencies, will be operated as per decision of
ministry. This report presents the role and responsibility of institution for implementing
environment management plan in a model, before the publication of restructuring notice. The
role and responsibility has and further will be automatically transferred to concerned
agencies as GoN decision related to restructuring of local level.
9. The project affected then Thalajung, Harmi, Chhoprak, Jaubari VDCs are now
restructured as wards of Siranchok Rural Municipality (RM), Hanspur VDC has been
restructured as ward of Ajirkot RM and wards of Palungtar municipality has also be
restructured (please refer Table 1 for detail).

1.4 Rationale of the IEE 10. An IEE of the upgrading road is necessary in order to assess the environmental
consequences of the rural road construction activities and suggest appropriate, practical and
site specific mitigation and enhancement measures. This is District road core network
(DRCN)3 according to Nepal Rural Road Standard (2055) 1st Revision, September 2012 of
the Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads. Therefore, it is
a legal requirement by the Government of Nepal (GoN) according to Act relating to
Reconstruction of the earthquake affected structures 2015, Rule relating to Reconstruction
of the earthquake affected structures 2016, working procedure relating to EIA for
Reconstruction of the Earthquake affected structures 2016 and first amendment (2016) and
clause 2 of schedule 1 pertaining to section 3 of working procedure relating environmental
impact assessment for reconstruction of the earthquake affected structure, 2016.
11. According to Nepali legal provision, preparation of IEE report by concerned District
Coordination Committee (DCC) and approval of IEE report by the National Reconstruction
Authority (NRA), is considered sufficient and Nepali legal provisions in essence satisfy
ADB's requirements. EEAP falls under category "B" project where IEE is mandatory for all
sub projects according to Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 of ADB.
12. This IEE report of road sub-project in Gorkha district is prepared based on the Terms
of Reference (ToR) approved on 2072/12/12 B.S. (25/03/2016 A.D.) by the Secretary level
decision of Ministry of Federal Affairs & Local Development (MoFALD) which is given in
Appendix I but the Final IEE report will be submitted to National Reconstruction Authority
(NRA). The climate Change checklist is given in Appendix II. Total road length in ToR was
39 km but the length of road in detail design is 30.575 km only. So, this IEE report has been
prepared for 30.575 Km. Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) checklist was also
considered during IEE report preparation as given in Appendix III.
3 A Road within the district joining a VDC headquarter (HQ or a growth centre to the district HQ directly or via other VDC(s), a
neighboring district HQ or the strategic road network is called “district road core network”. Other roads which are not included in this network are village road.

1.5 Objectives of the IEE Study 13. The specific objectives of the proposed IEE study include :
Provide information on the general environmental setting of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi
Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road area as baseline data.
Identify the major issues that may arise as a result of proposed works on bio-physical,
socioeconomic and cultural environment of the project area
Recommend practical and site specific environmental mitigation and enhancement
measures, prepare and implement environmental monitoring plan for the sub-project
Make sure that IEE is sufficient for the road sub-project
1.6 Methodology Adopted 14. Necessary information was generated through field study and literature review to
accommodate all issues as included in the approved ToR to analyze environmental impacts
on physical, biological, socio-economic and cultural issues. Primary level of information was
generated through questionnaires, checklists (Appendix IV) and data sheets walk-through
survey. Secondary information was collected through reports, profiles, maps etc. Total civil
work cost was estimated and given in Appendix V.
15. ToR was approved as per EPA 1997 and EPR 1997. The IEE approach,
methodology and procedure were followed according to the provisions of the Act relating to
Reconstruction of the Earthquake Affected Structures 2015, Rules relating to Reconstruction
of the Earthquake Affected Structures 2016, working procedure relating to EIA for
Reconstruction of the Earthquake affected structures 2016 (first amendment, 2016). It
followed methodology suggested in the approved ToR for IEE Study (review of literature,
sample survey/inspections/observations making simple measurements, discussion with
communities and other stakeholders, and IEE team judgment). According to working
procedure relating to EIA for Reconstruction of the Earthquake affected structures 2016, 7
days notice had to be published in national daily newspaper. However, 15 days public
notice was published in 2072/12/25 B.S. (07/04/2016 A.D), Himalayan Times, a national
daily newspaper (Appendix VI) seeking written opinion from concerned municipality,
concerned then VDCs, then DDC, DFO, schools, health posts and related local
organizations; immediately after approval of ToR as per EPA 1997 and EPR 1997.
16. A copy of the public notice was also affixed in the above mentioned organizations
and a deed of enquiry (muchulka) was collected (see Appendix VII). Recommendation
letters were obtained from concerned Municipality, then VDCs as given in Appendix VIII.
Furthermore, local people were contacted and interviewed to solicit information. Focus group
discussions (FGDs) were held within the various settlements along the ZoI (one and half
hours walk from the centerline of the road or 5 km distance). Meeting minutes are given in
Appendix IX. Socioeconomic data of households within road corridor were analyzed and
summarized in Appendix X. The district level officials, then VDCs, municipality and
community groups were also contacted to verify information (Appendix XI & XII). Plantation
plan has been prepared (Appendix XIII). Based on the analysis of information the impacts
have been predicted, mitigation measures prepared and monitoring plan has been
developed. Please refer Chapter 7 for details about public consultation, participation and
disclosure.

18. IEE study team collected and reviewed the available secondary sources of
information for physical, biological, socio-econmic and cultural envionment.
i. Physical Environment:
19. From various available sources of secondary information (e.g. Topographical Map,
Regional Geological Map, DHM, MoPE, and information on topography, geology and
precipitations, temperatures were reviewed and collected.
ii. Biological Environment:
20. The important secondary sources of information were reviewed from relevant
literatures including other projects EIA reports, then VDC/DDC Profiles, and websites of
MoPE, DoF, MoFSC, and DNPWC.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 6
iii. Socio-economic and Cultural Environment:
21. During desk study necessary secondary data /information/published or unpublished
reports (e.g.Gorkha district, Palungtar Municipality and Hansapur, Thalajung, Harmi,
Chhoprak and Jaubari VDCs profile, CBS data) were gathered from related
organizations/institutions. These documents were reviewed and relevant information for the
study was assembled.
iv. Preparation of Household Survey Questionnaire, FGD and Checklists:
22. During desk study the survey tools such as household survey questionnaire, FGD
and environemntal checklists were prepared based on the ToR for IEE study.
1.6.3 Field Investigation:
23. Field investigation of the project area was carried out by a multidisciplinary IEE study
team. During field investigation various steps were involved. More specifically, alignment
route observation and study of the topography and consultation with local key informants
was the main approach. Further, different tools (i.e checklists, questionnaires, and
guidelines) were used individually for each component of environment. In addition to, during
field visit data and information gathered through secondary information were also validated.
Various steps used as per domin are discussed as follows.
a. Physical Environment:
24. The main techniques used to investigate physical environment include alignment
route observation and study of the topography and consultation with locals. Applying such
approach, information and data on physical environment such as topography/terrain types
(e.g. aspect, gradient, and elevation), land use, geology, soils, slope stability, landslide/soil
erosion prone zones, and hydrology including river systems, drainage types, watershed
condition and low land/simsar areas were generated and gathered.
25. The information and data on topography/terrain types (i.e elevation, aspects, and
slopes) were generated with the help of GPS, Topographic Maps), Google Earth Image,
Regional and District Maps, and compass. Then the investigated data and information were
gathered systemically. Regional Geological Map, Geological Hammer, Measuring Tape,
GPS and Digital Camera as per need including checklist were used for necessary data and
information investigation. Surface geology of the road alignment was measured and
described in the site.
26. Slope stability and natural hazards information were investigated through
topography/terrain observation and with consultation of local people. Likewise, landslide and
soil erosion prone sections were observed critically. Field investigation was based mainly on
site observation and key informants' interviews.
27. Present air, water and noise pollution’s qualitative data was collected through direct observation, consultation with local people. Study of land use types was carried out mainly
through field observation with the help of strip map, topographical maps and consultation
with local key informants. During detailed field investigation land use data available from
Walkthrough Survey was also verified.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 7
b. Biological Environment
28. In biological component, existing situation and possible impacts on wild flora and
fauna were studied in relation to risk of project implementation.
Data Collection Method for Forest Vegetation
29. Relevant information and data were collected through alignment walk-through
including grid lines count, discussions with knowledgeable key informants, CFUGs and other
stakeholders at the site as well as with the help of standard reference (Polunin and Stainton
1984). Botanical nomenclature followed Press et al. (2000). In general, possible impact on
forest area, especially on road formation width (i.e. especially 6.25 m width including areas
with drains and other structures) were discussed. Name and address of forest with chainage,
forest type by management, existing road width in forest area, name and number of trees
species to be cut from each forest and private land were identified with the help of CFUG's
member. Total enumeration was done for tree loss assessment. Data on NTFPs was
collected through direct observation and consultation with local people.
Data Collection Method for Wildlife and Avifauna
30. For information on terrestrial and aquatic fauna as well as avifauna, consultation was
done with member of CFUGs and other forest user groups, and key informants involved in
the forest related activities including local knowledgeable person. Information on mammalian
species and their movement was obtained from discussions with the local pople, members of
CFUGs etc. Identification of mammalian species followed Baral and Shah (2008) and
Shrestha T.K. (1997). An inventory of avifauna was performed by direct observation and
consultation with local people.
c. Socio-economic and Cultural Environment:
31. Local enumerators and assistants were hired for administrating household survey
questionnaire from the project affected area. They were trained on survey methodology,
tools and process to identify likely affected land plots and their owners for household census
survey. Then, the trained local enumerators and assistants were mobilized for administrating
household survey and data collection. The Socio-economic Surveyor supervised the
enumerators whereas the Socioeconomist and the Team Leader monitored the data
collection process in the field. Field survey for collection of baseline data/information on
socio-economic and cultural environment was conducted in the proposed project area (i.e.
road alignment from Luitel of Palungtar Municipality to Bhachhek of Ajirkot RM (then
Hansapur VDC) of Gorkha district).
Households (HHs) Survey:
32. The detailed household survey was carried out with all project affected households
whose land and other properties (e.g. structures, fruit, fodder, timber trees) was to be fallen
within Right of Way (RoW), and would be permanently acquired. The project affected
households were identified after delineating likely affected parcels of land on Cadastral
Survey Map and with the help of local key informants especially who were involved in walk
through survey time. Trained local enumerators visited each identified households and
interviewed the household heads or/ available respondents and filled out the survey forms
under direct supervision of Socio-economic Surveyor and monitoring by the Socio-
economist.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 8
Focus Group Discussion (FGD):
33. This method was administrated with local community within the major clusters /
locations. In general, the participants were local persons of the affected households
including other households from the project community. The discussions was focussed to
record the existing baseline socioeconomic condition including opinion, issues and concerns
of the project affected people and stakeholders related to the proposed road project. The
FGD also gave opportunities to interact with the concerned public and stakeholders, to know
their concern, views and suggestions on road alignment route and location, land acquisition,
relocation of private and public infrastructure and utilities, including other social issues and
concerns, and to know their view on likely environmental issues/impacts and suggestions
and advices need to be considered in the IEE study.
Key Informants Interview (KII)/Stakeholder Consultation and Observation:
34. The KII technique was applied among the key informants and the relevant
stakeholders such as local elite people, community leaders, school principles / teachers,
business and governmental and non-governmental organizations / institutions. With the help
of KII technique information on socioeconomic and cultural environments and also potential
impacts due to project intervention were gathered. In addition, overall observations were
made and photographs were taken to cross check the data and information.
1.6.4 Database Preparation, Analysis, Prediction and Assessment of Impact
35. The required data for the study was collected through primary and secondary source
as mentioned above and database was prepared. The collected data were analyzed
qualitatively and quantitatively to establish existing baseline information on physical,
biological, socio-economic and cultural environments. Data and information from the
questionnaires/checklists were entered on processing data entry layout. Data analysis and
interpretation of physical, biological and socio-economic and cultural environments were
carried out by the respective domain specialists. Then interpretation was made based on the
results obtained. In brief these are presented here under.
a. Data Analysis and Interpretation
Physical Environment
36. The collected existing baseline condition information and data on such as topography
(i.e. elevation, aspect, and slope), geology and soil type were analyzed. Similarly, qualitative
data on air, water and noise pollution status were analyesd. For instances, measure
discontinuities data were used for slope stability assessment. Likewise, slope stability in
rocks was analyzed with the help of DIP Version5.1. The physical environmental information
(e.g. topography, climate, geology, soils, land use, slope stability, hydrology) was tabulated
to the extent possible. The output of analyzed information and data were interpreted in
logical, sequential and consistent order.
Biological Environment
37. The biological environmental information (e.g. tree and wildlife species, and bird
species) collected from primary and secondary sources and were tabulated. Then the
recorded species were compared and verified to the list prepared by IUCN Red Data Book,
CITES and List of Endangered, Rare and Threatened Plant Species published by GoN.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 9
Socio-economic and Cultural Environment
38. The collected socio-economic data were entered in MS Excel 2010 and processed as
required. Similalrly, qualitative data related to socio-economic and cultural environment was
analysed to create the existing baseline. Suggestions made by the local people and
stakeholders' during public consultation was was considered for benefit augmentation
measures and mitigation measures for adverse impacts are proposed.
1.6.5 Impact Identification, Prediction and Assessment/Evaluation Method
Impact Identification
39. Based on field visit observation and consultation meeting with local, issues that may
trigger due to project intervention were identified and prioritized. From the exercise both
types of beneficial and adverse impacts were identified for IEE study. The impacts were
categorized as per environmental domain (i.e physical, biological, and socio-economic and
cultural environments). Likewise; an impact that may trigger under different phases of project
implementation (i.e. construction and operation) was also taken into account for the
assessment.
Impact Prediction
40. By and large, extrapolative (i.e. predictions on the basis of past and present data,
and trend analysis), and experts` experience and judgment (applying past experience and
knowledge of the experts) methods were applied for impact prediction.
Impact Assessment/Evaluation:
41. The assessment of environmental impacts was derived exclusively from the baseline
environmental conditions of the affected environment with the project activities in relation to
spatial and temporal aspects in terms of magnitude, extent and duration of impacts. The
impacts have been predicted in terms of their magnitude (minor, moderate and high), extent
(site specific, local and regional) and duration (short, medium and long term). Evaluation of
the level of significance of impacts was made based on prevailing legislative setup,
numerical values with scoring (National EIA Guideline, 1993), consultation with stakeholders,
expert’s past experience and other criteria.
1.6.6 Study Team:
42. Field survey comprised of walkthrough survey, consultation with community, site
inspection and observation. Data collection was done from 10/04/2016 to 17/04/2016 AD

Landslides and Slope Stability
57. Slope Stability depends on the existing geological structures, lithology of the rock
units, soil type, topography and hydrological condition of the particular sides. The active gully
and rills in the colluvium surface exhibits high mass waste phenomena. The slope with loose
colluvium soil is highly susceptible to sliding after water saturation due to increased pore
water pressure, which ultimately increases the driving force.
58. Very few cut slope failures are observed along the road. There is very less chances
of occurring failure because of opposite natural hill slope. However, chainage 3+900-3+950
and chainage 21+680-21+730 is landslide prone area of the road.
59. Along the road where the loose soil exposed and prone area of the groundwater, it is
suggested to manage the drainage surface water and apply the bioengineering works.
4.1.2 Land Use
60. Land use pattern of the area through which the road passes have been classified into
settlement area, agricultural land and forest land as shown in Table 9 below.

water. All the settlements except Lama Tol depend on the spring and dug wells. Details
about business and commerce according to the settlements are shown in Appendix Xf
86. All the households have toilet facility in all the settlements within ZoI. About 710
houses have permanent toilet and only 24 households have temporary toilet which shows
that the area is healthy because there is no open toilet.

4.3.4 Status due to Earthquake:
96. Most rural homes badly damaged and people are forced to live in tents. 91% of
houses destroyed, 318 human casualties, and 548 of 594 government schools are destroyed
(as reported in District-wise summary record). Most of the houses of ZoI are damaged by the
earthquake. The devastating earthquake mostly destroyed the physical properties rather
than human beings. Please refer Figure 8 for earthquake affected districts.
Figure 8: Earthquake Affected District
Summary of the Earthquake in Gorkha District
97. On 25 April 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal with its epicenter in
Gorkha District, approximately 81 km North West of the country capital, Kathmandu. Another
earthquake of magnitude 7.3 followed on 12 May 2015 in Dolakha District. REACH, through
its partnership with the Global Shelter Cluster, was deployed to Nepal to facilitate the
development of a comprehensive shelter and settlements recovery strategy for the Nepal
Shelter Cluster, and establish a baseline for analysis of the recovery process. The data
presented in this factsheet is the result of a stratified, random survey of 122 households,
including those with damaged and non-damaged shelters. Findings can be generalized at
district level with a 95% level of confidence and a 10% margin of error.

5 Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Benefit
Augmentation/Mitigation Measures
99. The identification and assessment of impacts has been carried out by considering the
proposed proposal activities examined in terms of the construction and operation stage.
Several such impacts have been identified based on site observation, field survey and
information obtained from the stakeholders, with a few being identified on value judgment.
The impact of the activities will be on physical, biological, socio-economic and cultural
resources within the ZoI. Impacts from the road sub project can be both beneficial as well as
adverse. Most of the identified impacts have been quantified as far as possible.
100. Mitigation refers to the measures that are designed to cope with adverse
consequences and to enhance the positive impacts on the environment as a result of the
Sub-project implementation. An effective implementation of benefit maximization measures
and adverse impacts mitigation measures would optimize the benefits expected from the
Sub-project and avoid/minimize the adverse impact. The impacts have been predicted in
terms of their magnitude (minor, moderate and high), extent (site specific, local and regional)
and duration (short, medium and long term) and appropriate benefit enhancement and
mitigation measures are suggested as follows:
5.1 Mitigation Measures during Pre-construction Phase 101. The mitigation measures adopted during design or pre-construction phases are
preventive in nature and have two basic objectives:
a. Avoiding costly mitigation measures, and
b. Increasing awareness among the stakeholders for environmental management of road
construction and operation.
5.1.1 Detailed Survey and Design
102. The road design has followed the rural road standards developed by DoLIDAR. The
works will be executed through National Competitive Bidding (NCB) package by the
contractors. Bio-engineering techniques will be applied for stabilization of slopes, which is
sustainable, environmental friendly and can be done by using local resources and
manpower. To improve the transport services for the people living along the road and link
local areas with the main market, acquisition of land would be required.
103. Relevant issues raised during public consultation have been addressed under
respective mitigation measures. Therefore, no separate mitigation measures are warranted
for the concerns raised by the local people.
5.2 Beneficial Impacts and Benefit Augmentation Measures
5.2.1 Construction Phase
Employment Generation and Increase in Income
104. One of the major direct beneficial impacts of the road during the construction stage is
the creation of employment opportunities for the external people which business creates
opportunity for the local people. The road construction will create 33,442 person days skilled
and 120,256 unskilled person days jobs. Employment generation for the local people will
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 39
minimize seasonal migration to other parts of the country, as well as to foreign countries.
There will be positive impacts in other economic activities in a chained manner creating
other income generating activities. This is one of the direct and significant impacts of the
projects but it is of short-term and local in nature. At least one-fifth Involvement of women,
Dalit and ethnic minority people will be done.
105. Following benefit augmentation measures will be implemented:
Uplifting the socioeconomic condition of the affected people through the life skill training
Awareness programme for the locals.
Awareness Enhancement
106. Although many people in the project area are unskilled at present, the construction of
road is likely to enhance awareness about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)
Sexual/gender based violence prevention campaign. This will prevent the STDs and social
abuses. The knowledge acquired from the project during construction will enhance
awareness. This impact is indirect, medium, local and long-term in nature.
Enterprise Development and Business Promotion
107. During the construction period, different types of commercial activities will come into
operation in order to meet the demand of workers. Since they will have good purchasing
power, they will regularly demand for different types of food, beverage and other daily
necessary items. To meet these demands, many local and outside people may operate a
number of small shops and restaurants around the vicinity of the construction sites. Various
farm based enterprises, including a wide range of agricultural and livestock products, will
also gain momentum as a result of increased demand by labours during construction. This
will increase local trade and business in the area during construction period. The impact is
also direct, low, local and short term in nature.
Rent from Land Acquired Temporarily during Construction
108. During the construction period there is a need to acquire private land temporarily in
order to set up campsite, stockpile the construction materials, etc. Thus, the local people
whose land has been acquired for such purposes will be provided with the rent of his land.
This will ultimately enhance his income and serve positively to upgrade the economic status
of his family. However, this positive impact will be of low magnitude, short term and site
specific in nature.
Women Empowerment
109. All the people will be benefited from the road construction. However, women may be
benefited more from improved access to the market centers and various service providing
agencies like health centers, banks, training institutions, women development office etc. 20%
of women participation is provided in labor work bio-engineering and plantation activities
during the construction of road. Frequency of visit to such agencies will increase awareness
level and empower them. The project will have indirect, significant, local and long-term
impact.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 40
5.2.2 Operation Phase
Improvement in Accessibility and Saving of Time and Transportation Cost
110. After the completion of road will enhance the easy access of people to social
services, and quick transportation of goods and business. Travelling time will be reduced by
half and the cost of transportation will be cheaper by around two times. This is the direct,
regional impacts and will have long-term benefits. Regular maintenance of the road will be
done by the DCC/DTO.
Access to Inputs and Services
111. Once the road project is completed, the people living within the road corridor will
have easy access to cities and markets. This will enhance the transaction of goods and
access to social services. Access to input and services will increase, which will be cheaper
due to transportation facility. This is the direct, most significant, regional and will have long
term benefits.
Increase in Trade, Commerce and Development of Market centers
112. There is a possibility of increased economic opportunities and significant growth and
extension of the minor local markets along the road. The farmers will be more interested to
increase agricultural production due to market accessibility. Similarly, there will be
diversification in occupational pattern of local people, who are till now mainly dependent on
subsistence farming. This will lessen pressure on local natural resources. There will be many
employment opportunities for the growing rural population especially for occupational caste
groups due to extension of market center and development of small towns. The commercial
product i.e. aalainchi will increase and the cash crops will get high priority for market linkage.
The project will have indirect, long term, local and high benefits.
Appreciation of Land Value
113. Construction of the road leads to appreciation of land values, particularly near the
market and settlement areas. It is expected that land price will increase by two times due to
the construction of the road. The impact is indirect, high, local and long term in nature. The
local people will be made aware of the fact that high value land is easily acceptable to the
banks and microfinance institutions as a guarantee to provide loans. Local people can start
their own business by mortgaging their land.
114. Due to easy and cheaper availability of agricultural inputs and technologies,
productivity will be increased along the road. Vegetables, fruits, cash crops, sale of farm,
fruit and livestock products will be increased in almost all the settlements along the road
corridor. This is the indirect, high, local and long term in nature.
5.3 Adverse Impacts and Mitigation Measures
5.3.1 Construction Phase
Physical Aspects
Change in Land Use
115. The land acquired for the implementation of the project can undergo a long-term
permanent change in the land use. The existing land use pattern is 9.12 ha Agriculture land,
2.49 ha Forest, 1.6 ha Settlement area and 1.580 ha barren land. Changes of land use due
to the construction of road are mainly conversion of 2.707 ha Agricultural land, 0.715 ha
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 41
Forest area, 0.433 ha settlement area and 0.40 ha Barren land will be converted in to the
built up area of road changing the total 19.10 ha land. Similarly, there will be some change in
land use due to expansion of road side settlements. The impact from changes in land use
will be high, direct, local and long term in nature.
116. There will be no mitigation measures for the permanent loss of agricultural, forest
land. However, following mitigation measures will be adopted to compensate the loss of land
into built up area:
Improving agricultural extension services to compensate for loss of production.
Applying additional protective measures that the remaining land will not be lost due to
erosion.
Roadside plantation of trees will be done to increase greenery in the area.
During re-vegetation, local species identified during the survey will be used.
The spoil site will be stabilized with bio-engineering.
Hazards due to Spoil Disposal
117. Fresh cuts also invite landslides and erosion, particularly during monsoon. The
common likely problems from inappropriate disposal of spoils are: gully and erosion of spoil
tips especially when combined with unmanaged surface water runoff, damage to farm lands,
and destruction of vegetation, crops and property at downhill. The impact from spoil disposal
will be direct, medium, site specific and long term in nature.
118. The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Adopting cut and fill balance.
Wherever possible, surplus spoil will be used to fill eroded gullies, quarries and
depressed areas etc.
Top soil will be stored and utilized in farm land.
Remaining excess spoils will be disposed in specified tipping sites in a controlled manner
and the tipping sites will be covered by vegetation through bio-engineering techniques
after surplus material is tipped.
Spoils will not be disposed on fragile slopes, farmland, marshy land, forest areas, natural
drainage path, canals and other infrastructures.
After the disposal, the site will be provided with proper drainage, vegetation and
adequate protection against erosion.
Necessary toe walls and retaining walls will be provided to protect the disposal of soil.
119. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to unnatural slopes. They are
used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing
undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and
engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. Adopted
guidelines for retaining structures are as per DOR. In this project, the types of retaining
structures are Gabion retaining wall, stone masonry retaining wall, Stone masonry Breast
Wall and Stone Masonry Revetment Wall.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 42
120. Spoil disposal management plan will be prepared for the proper disposal of spoils.
Proposed spoil disposal sites are at 5 places at the chainage of 3+500, 15+300, 23+250,
26+300 and 28+500. Suitable materials obtained from excavation will be used for
embankment filling, and backfilling of structures. Despite this, the surplus excavated
materials obtained will be disposed at construction site as required. Wherever possible, the
surplus spoil will be used to fill eroded gullies, quarries and depressed areas. Dry stone toe
walls are required in some locations for disposal of spoils.
Slope Instability and Soil Erosion
121. Removal of vegetation and open cuts with soil exposed to rain will cause soil erosion
as well as landslides. The stability of slopes along the road corridor depends upon slope
angle, the material constituting the slope, rock discontinuities and hydrological conditions.
The likely impact of slope instability and soil erosion is indirect, medium, site specific and
long term in nature. Slope instability and soil erosion prone areas are seen from chainage
3+900-3+950 and 21+680-21+720. Supply and construction of gabion/check/toe wall will be
done for slope protection and dry stone check/toe wall for segmentation and support the
slope. Other construction materials such as GI wire, cement, reinforcement, hume pipes will
be procured from Gorkha Bazar, which about 20 km far from the starting point of proposed
road.
122. Disposal site proposed for the area are at various chainage 1+140, 17+400, 22+000
and 27+700.
123. Retaining wall will be built to protect slopes from landslide and bioengineering will be
adopted for stabilizing them. Following mitigation measures will be adopted during the
construction of the road and the cost has been included in the Sub-project cost:
Ensuring minimum cut slope
Selecting cut and fill slope at the correct angle, depending upon the soil type
Re-vegetation of cut and fill slope or exposed areas as soon as possible, by using native
plant species
Adoption of bio-engineering techniques
Ensuring minimum damage of vegetation during construction
No construction work during rainy season
Mass balancing in cut and fill volume
Use of check dams and toe walls before disposing spoils on hill slopes
Disruption of Surface Water Flow and Drainage (Drainage and cross drainage works
etc.)
124. Roads usually generate large volumes of concentrated surface runoff. The
concentrated water from the road outlet causes erosion and landslide eventually affecting
the stability of the road. The impact will be indirect, site specific and medium term.
125. In order to address this, following mitigation measures will be under taken:
Provide adequate and appropriate numbers of drainage structures in order to have
minimum interference with and impact on natural drainage pattern of the area,
Avoid surface water discharge into farmland or risky locations,
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 43
Avoid blockage or diversion of natural channels due to construction of road and disposal
of spoils.
Adopt outward road slope as per green road standard to minimize water accumulation
126. Side drain (covered trapezoidal, Open trapezoidal, open cascade and closed
cascade) Pipe culvert, irrigation crossing, retaining structures like stone masonry wall,
gabion retaining and breast wall as well as earthwork like cutting and filling will be
constructed as per required to mitigate the water induced adverse impacts.
Air Dust, Noise and Water Pollution
127. Although the air quality of the project area is not measured, the air does not appear
to be polluted. However, during construction of road, there is a strong possibility of dust
pollution. The dust emission is likely to be intense along the construction site. This may
affect the local people and workers, as well as agricultural crops. Dust may create nuisance
to markets, schools and health posts. Impact on air quality will be direct, low, local and short
term in nature.
128. The project area at present does not experience high level of noise. However, use of
rock breaker, excavator and rollers may cause air dust and noise pollution to the workers
and people living in nearby areas. The impact of noise will be direct, low, local and short
term in nature.
129. The water quality within the project area is not tested. Nevertheless, quality of water
in the water bodies within the project area appears to be fairly good as they are widely used
by households for drinking purpose. During construction, water bodies may be polluted by
spoil and construction wastes, open defecation in natural streams by construction workers.
The impact will be direct, low, local, short term in nature.
130. The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Use of face masks by workers to minimize impact from dust generation.
Plantation of tree along the roadside to act as dust barrier.
Use of ear muffles to lessen noise pollution during rock breaking
Avoiding the disposal of excavated materials in or near water bodies.
Construction of toilets in camp sites.
Impact due to Quarrying
131. Rehabilitation and reconstruction of the road requires boulders and other types of
construction materials. The extraction of materials from inappropriate places or in excessive
amounts can damage the local environment. Quarry sites at the chainage 6+550, 19+800,
21+250 and 27+624. Aggregates will be collected from Daraudi river which is 16 km from
starting point and 13 km from Charkate road. Other construction materials such as GI wire,
cement, reinforcement, hume pipes will be procured from Gorkha Bazar, which is about 20
km from the starting point of proposed road.
132. The potential adverse impacts of quarrying are accelerated erosion, landslides,
disturbance in natural drainage patterns, water logging and water pollution. The likely impact
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 44
from the operation of quarry sites will be direct, low in magnitude, local nature and short term
duration.
133. The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Quarry operation plan will be prepared. Unstable sites, erosion prone areas, dense forest
areas, settlements and fertile farm land will be avoided for quarry operation.
Stones and boulders will be collected from the environmentally suitable and legally
recognized quarry sites.
After the extraction is completed, the quarry site will be rehabilitated to suit the local
landscape, plantation will be done and drainage will be provided.
Location of Camp Sites
134. Camp is required for the sub-project. However, in contractor package, contactors
need to establish camps for the workers if hired from outside. Sitting of camp may cause
encroachment of forest, agriculture land, and alteration of drainage, solid waste and waste
water problems. Impact will be direct, medium significance, site specific and for short-term.
135. The mitigation measures will be use of local labours; rent local house instead of
camp to keep labours; sitting camp away from productive lands and forest areas; pay
compensation for using private farm or lands for storage or camp. Toilet, water and other
basic facilities will be provided to workers. Waste water and solid waste will be properly
managed. Solid wastes generated from labour camp shall be segregated into biodegradable
and non-biodegradable wastes. Recyclable wastes shall be sold off. Efforts shall be made to
compost biodegradable wastes in small size compost pits by the
Contractor. Non-biodegradable and non-saleable wastes shall be disposed in a
secured and safe location. They shall not be burnt in any case. During this period, labours
staying on the camp need to hire LP gas or electricity for cooking purpose.
Crusher Plants
136. Due to the availability of market at near area, all the things will be procured from
nearest market center and there will be no impact. If crusher plants have to be established, it
should be located away from riverside, schools, colleges, hospitals, security installations,
forests, human settlement, and sites. The impact will be direct, high, local and short term.
137. Measures: the Contractor must submit a detail plan on Quarry Site and Crusher Plant
before establishing the plan should clearly mention technical specification, baseline data,
technical preventive measures to control dust, erosion protection, water pollution prevention
and safety measures. The detail plan should also cover re-instatement plan of quarry site as
well as operation and restoration plan of crusher plant along with all necessary documents of
Agreement with owner, sketches of crusher plant.
Use of Bitumen
138. Impacts: Bitumen is required for black topping which needs heating before using.
Contractors tend to use local fuel wood collected from nearby forest to heat bitumen.
Spillage of bitumen also damage soil productivity. The impact will be direct, high, local and
long term.
139. Measures: The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 45
Use kerosene for heating and strict prohibition to heat bitumen by using fuel wood.
Appropriate storage of material.
Use of appropriate safety gears to ensure safe health of workers such as masks, boot,
gloves, hat.
Biological Aspects
Loss or Degradation of Forest and Vegetation
140. In total 0.715 ha forest will be affected due to this sub-project. 1,244 trees (18 from
Amdanda CF, 0 from Sisneri CF, 19 from Andheripakha CF, 546 from Tarkedanda CF with
total 583 from all CFs as well as 142 from NF and 519 from private land) need to be cut
down. The impact on vegetation/forest resources have been considered to be high in
magnitude, site specific in extent and long term in duration whereas loss of other forest
resources will be direct, local and long term in magnitude, extent and duration respectively.
141. The following activities are proposed to cut the trees from the forest area during the
road construction.
Forest clearance approval will be obtained from the DFO and MoFSC.
Government procedures such as counting the number of trees to be felled, marking and
measuring wood quantity etc. will be followed.
Forest site clearance for construction will be limited to minimum width of road.
142. According to the Government of Nepal (2071/01/12 BS): Standard for Removing
Government Trees, 2071 BS , the sub-project has to carry out plantation (with protection for
five years) or pay for the plantation and protection cost to the District Forest Office. Total 583
trees need to be cut down from community forest. So, in total 14,575 saplings have to be
planted for compensatory plantation with estimated cost of NRs 2,328,211.00 as given in
Appendix XIIIa. This cost will be provided to CFUGs through DFO. Location and type of
species for the plantation will be selected by the CFUGs/DFO. However, emphasis will be
given to local, multiple use, rare, endangered and protected species. The forest products
from the forest will be used by CFUGs. For National forest 142 trees should be cut down and
the compensation rate is NRs. 567,077.00 as given in Appendix XIIIc Likewise, for the 519
trees to be cut down from the private land, at the ratio of 1:1 trees will be done by the sub-
project and plantation cost will be provided by the sub-project. For the plantation, total
estimated cost is NRs. 34,383.75 as given in Appendix XIIIb. Computation of per plant
plantation cost in private land and compensatory plantation/national forest is given in
Appendix XIIId & e. For the compensatory plantation in CF &NF, compensatory plantation
cost, sample agreement between DFO and DCC/DTO has been attached in Appendix XIIIf.
In total 18,644 saplings, 14,575 in C.F, 519 in Private land and 3,550 in the national forest
will be planted in the road corridor Similarly plantation plan has been given in Appendix
XIIIg.
Impact on Wildlife and Bird Habitat
143. The proposed area is not a significant habitat for wildlife and bird species. However,
the construction of the road may disturb wildlife and bird species present along the road
corridor. The movement of labor, use of construction equipment, and noise during
construction may affect the home range of the fauna. The impact will be indirect, low, local
and short term in nature.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 46
144. The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Work only in day time
Prohibit to wildlife harassment and poaching by the workers.
Awareness programme for the construction workers.
Impacts on Flora and Fauna (as listed in CITES and IUCN Red Data Book and
Protected by GoN)
The proposed area is not significant habitat for wildlife and bird species. However, the
construction of road may disturb wildlife and bird species present along the road corridor
due to increased noise level. Some protected wild fauna such as Saal (Shorea robusta),
Badar (Macaca mulatta), Dumsi (Hystrix indica), Kalij (Lophura leucomelanos), Deer
(Muntiacus muntjak), Banbiralo (Felis chaus), Luinche (Gallus gallus), Shyal(Canis aureus),
are in IUCN list. The impact will be indirect, low, local and short term in nature.
145. Following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Workers will be actively prohibited from collecting fuel wood from forest or hunting of
birds or animals.
Coordination with DFO to control the activities like illegal hunting and poaching by
enforcing acts and regulations strictly.
Emphasis will be given to plant protected species during compensatory plantation.
Socio-economic Aspects
Loss or Degradation of Farm Land and Productivity
146. 2.707 Ha agricultural land will be acquired for the sub-project. Moreover, spoil on
farm land will also affect the production of agricultural crops. It is clear that the loss of crops
from the land acquired by the project will have adverse impact on the financial stability of the
affected households who are dependent on the agricultural productivity of their land. The
impact is expected to be direct, high in magnitude, local in extent and of long term in
duration.
147. Mitigation measures will be as follows:
Compensation of NRs. 45,310,682.64 has been allocated for loss of land as per
separate RP (refer Annex Vc for detail)
Compensation for loss of standing crops and temporary use in agriculture land,
Plantation of trees along the both sides of road to act as dust and noise barrier,

151. For this, following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Rehabilitation of electric poles and rehabilitation and/or compensation of waiting place
will be done in consultation with local community and users as per resettlement plan.
NRs. 21,21,764.73 has been allocated (refer Annex Vc for detail).
Occupational Health, Safety and Sanitation
152. This earthen road is proposed to gravel road for the rehabilitation and reconstruction
due to the devastating earthquake. Thus, during construction the labor are exposed to
different level of risks. The potential impact to health is respiratory and eye diseases due to
the exposure on dust, risk of accident during works. The impacts are direct, low, short term
and local.
153. The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
The workers will be provided with helmets, masks, muffles and boots depending on the
nature of the construction work.
Drinking water facility and temporary pit latrine will be established to control open
defecation and pollution of water bodies by the workers
First aid box will be kept at work sites.
Group accidental insurance will be done for the workers.
First aid training will be provided to field staff.
Labor camp will have room with proper ventilation and natural light, safe drinkable water,
mosquito net, sanitary facility, and solid waste management.
Kerosene or gas stoves will be supplied to labor camps and use of firewood will be
strictly prohibited.
Cultural invasion and social disputes
Inflow of people from around the surrounding area along the RoW of the proposed road
alignment during the operation stage will bring drastic differentiation on the local culture.
Large number of local people would change their culture and this cultural transformation is
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 48
likely to bring conflict in the community. This impact is indirect, low significance, site specific
and medium-term in duration.
5.3.2 Operation Phase
Physical Aspects
Road Slope Stability and Management
154. There is possibility of slope instability caused by the opening of branch roads
connecting village settlement with RM/Municipality/DCC funding. Likewise, inadequate
maintenance of the road, blockage of drains and irrigation water may cause slides and slope
failure. The impact will be direct, moderate, local and long term in nature.
155. The following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Rill and gully formations will be regularly monitored and immediately fixed at critical
areas.
Repair and maintenance of the slope protection measures and drainage works.
Minor landslide and mass wasting will be immediately cleared and slope restored with
appropriate technology (Stone masonry wall/ gabion wall)
Impact due to Air, Noise and Water Pollution
156. During operation period, a number of vehicles will ply along the road and will emit
gaseous pollutants. This will increase the pollution level of ambient air along the road
corridor. Washing of vehicles in natural streams may cause contamination in drinking water
sources. As this road falls under DRCN, the vehicular movement is not expected to be very
high, the overall impact of will be direct, low, local and long term.
157. Following mitigation measures will be adopted:
Community and road user awareness programmes will be organized
Signboards restricting the use of horns will be erected near health posts, schools and
settlements.
Plantation will be done near the settlement around school and health post to act as dust
and noise barrier.
Vehicle washing in natural streams will be discouraged.
Biological Aspects
Depletion of Forest Resource
158. The forest resources depletion may occur due to ineffective drainage works,
inappropriate spoil disposal and construction practices. The development of market centers
may exert pressure on forest and eventually depleting the forest resources. To meet the
increasing needs of the forest products, illegal felling/cutting of poles and trees may occur.
Operation of road may increase in timber smuggling due to easy access and easy
transportation facilities. The impact will be indirect, moderate, local and long term in nature.
159. The pressure on forest resources during road operation is likely to occur. The
mitigation measures recommended are awareness raising programmes to educate local
people and providing support to locals for the conservation of forests.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 49
Disturbance to Wildlife and Illegal Hunting
160. Although the wildlife population is reported low, they may be disturbed due to the
frequent movement of the vehicles. Vehicular flow, horn blowing in the forest area will have
impact on the wildlife and bird species. There may occur illegal hunting during operation
period by the people from market areas due to easy accessibility. The impact will be indirect,
low, local and long term in nature.
161. Following mitigation measures will be adopted to minimize the above-mentioned
impacts:
Appropriate sign boards will be erected informing drivers about:
Prohibition of blowing horns in the dense forest areas.
Potential areas for wildlife crossing.
Maintenance workers will be briefed regularly about the importance of rules and
regulation of DFO in order to make them comply with.
Awareness raising programmes about importance of biodiversity to the local people,
students, and vehicle operators will be conducted.
Fragmentation of Ecosystem
162. The road passess through 5,075m length of 4 CF and 1 NF. The road is already in
operation stage and proposed for rehabilitation only, with the intervention of project, there
will not be ecosystem fragmentation.
163. Therefore, no mitigation measures are proposed.
Socio-economic Aspects
Ribbon Settlement Development
164. Increased opportunities for trade and commerce along the roadside will attract
people to build shops, restaurants, stalls and hotels and may encroach RoW. The impact will
be direct, moderate, local and medium term in nature.
165. The mitigation measures to be adopted include:
Awareness raising programs to regulate settlements
Signboards will be erected notifying about legal prosecution for encroachment within
RoW.
Plantations of trees will be done in the RoW so that it is not encroached
Road Safety Measures
166. Movement of vehicles in the road will invite accidents. Moreover, inadequate
provisions of road safety measures like no provisions of signals and lack of enforcement of
traffic rules during operation period may invite accidents. The impact will be direct, medium,
local and long term in nature.
167. The mitigation measures adopted will be
Applying appropriate road safety measures with the help of 3-Es i.e. Engineering,
Enforcement and Education.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 50
Required safety signs will be used along the road such as schools, wildlife crossing
area.
Awareness program on road safety will be organized for school student
5.4 Climate Change Impacts 168. Climate change is an inevitable fact which needs to be considered for future
planning, construction and maintenance of roads located in hilly and mountainous areas.
The need to limit deterioration effects from adverse weather conditions (e.g. prolonged
precipitation, heat stress, freeze-thaw cycle) and damages consequences in case of extreme
events (e.g. embankment failure) is a key factor influencing construction designs Weather
contribution to the ordinary wear & tear of infrastructure and weather disaster risks are
indeed intrinsic parameters for transport system design. Transport conditions are also highly
affected by extreme weather events such as winter storms, ice, and heavy rainfalls.
169. In general, transport can be vulnerable to many different types of weather conditions,
of which, some of them could be exacerbated with climate change. Many of them relate to
extreme weather conditions (e.g. storms, extreme precipitations, and extreme temperatures)
which on their turn may result in severe consequences for the physical environment (e.g.
Floods, landslides, soil erosion) and represent risks for transport infrastructures and
operations.
170. Based on field survey, the study started with an exhaustive list of potential future
impacts for transport (infrastructures/activities), linked to key weather stressors. All modes
and components of the transport system (infrastructures, transport fleet, transportation
operation and transport users) will, to a certain degree, be affected by extreme weather
events. Some of such extreme weather conditions could be exacerbated under future
climate change, thus increasing risks for transport and negatively affecting transport
performance (safety, reliability, cost efficiency). Only few of the potential consequences
could reveal positive (e.g. higher winter temperatures) for more detail refer Table 17 and
Appendix II.

Temperature and rainfall: Most of the respondents of the zone of influence felt that both
summer and winter temperature is increasing remarkably since last decades. People have
noticed that the rainfall days are decreased in last 8-10 years, however amount rainfall is
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and
Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha almost the same. It means both drought and cloud burst
scenarios are increasing nowadays due to erratic rainfall.
Flash floods, as associated with heavy rainfalls (in case of thunderstorms for instance) are
expected to become more frequent in this region. There is only one stream named Hudi
khola. So, it might affect the road during the rainy season.
Landslides and soil erosion are the consequences of multi-factors, including soil
moisture
– as influenced by rainfalls intensity, soil types and slopes. Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi
Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road lies in the hilly region. So, there is possibility of
flood, landslides and soil erosion.
133. Following climate change adaptation measures will be considered during the
construction and operation of the road:
Likely local effects of climate change will be assessed through observation and
regular monitoring of drainage system, erosion etc.
Adequate and timely maintenance and early warning system will be done.
Awareness raising activities will be conducted about climate change issues and
adaptation and mitigation measures.
No tree or vegetation will be removed unless absolutely necessary to reduce
deforestation and compensatory plantation will be done to cut carbon per capita
emissions
5.5 Cumulative Impact 171. Cumulative impact is the impact caused due to the natural calamity (earthquake) and
its aftershocks for a long period. Some of the impact caused by the devastating earthquake
and its aftershocks are as follows:
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 52
Landscape patterns
Water quality and quantity
Air quality
Transportation patterns
Noise level
Visual character
Damage houses due to earthquake and construction of road
Expansion of the cracks
Soil erosion
172. There are no other projects which will cause significant impacts in the surrounding of
Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road sub-project in Gorkha
district. However following cumulative impacts may arise due to the construction of this road
Sub-project:
Beneficial Impacts
173. There will be increase in number of immigrants, due to various infrastructure facilities
such as employment generation during road construction. The availability of the road can
enhance the business, market and other infrastructural developments.
174. Construction of road will enhance the access of people by reducing travel time and
costs as well as quick transportation of goods. Various farm based enterprises, including a
wide range of agricultural and livestock products, will also gain momentum as a result of
transportation facilities. Vegetables, fruits, cash crops, sale of farm, fruit and livestock
products will be increased in almost all the settlements along the road corridor. Similarly,
there will be diversification in occupational pattern of local people, who are till now mainly
dependent on subsistence farming. This will lessen pressure on local natural resources.
175. Due to an increase in employment opportunities, trade, business and agricultural
income, money will be channelled into the local economy. This will increase income level of
the individual household and the local community. It is possible that some money may be
spent by the individual for community development activities such as education, school,
health and sanitation services.
Adverse Impacts
176. Fresh cuts also invite landslides and erosion, particularly during monsoon. The
common likely problems from inappropriate disposal of spoils are gullying and erosion of
spoil tips especially when combined with unmanaged surface water runoff, damage to farm
lands and crops as well as property at downhill. The concentrated water from the road outlet
causes erosion and landslide eventually affecting the stability of the road.
177. This sub-project passes through four community forests. Minimum vegetation loss
from the forests during construction of the road will be considered. Increase in vehicular
movement will further affect the movements of wildlife. Felling of trees, further change in
land use due to potential trading opportunity and increased number of vehicles will lead to
high GHGs emission as well as low carbon sequestration. Similarly change in land use might
accelerate soil erosion.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 53
178. Loss of private properties, crops and trees from the land acquired by the project will
have adverse impact on the financial stability of the affected households. Increased
opportunities for trade and commerce along the roadside will attract people to build shops,
restaurants, stalls and hotels and may encroach RoW. Movement of vehicles in the road
may invite accidents. Also pollution might increase with vehicular movement. The socio –
economic aspect might disappear slowly. The aftershock of the devastating earthquake may
affect the stability of the road and might collapse the built up road.

6 Analysis of Alternatives 179. Alternative analysis has been considered as an integral part of IEE study, which
involves an examination of alternative ways of achieving objectives of the proposed sub-
project. The aim of alternative analysis is to reach at a development option, which maximizes
the benefits while minimizing the adverse impacts. The various alternatives to achieve the
sub-project objectives with minimum environmental degradation are discussed in following
sub-sections:
6.1 No Action Alternative 180. This alternative does not allow for the implementation of the Proposal. This
alternative has both beneficial and adverse impacts on the environment. If the proposal is
not implemented, the transportation time and cost for the local people to the district
headquarter and markets and vice versa will continue to remain at present rate and hardship
of people will continue. The no action option will conserve some of the environmental
adverse impacts at the cost of poverty and in accessibility of the people.
6.2 Proposal Alternatives 181. Then Gorkha DCC has selected Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung -
Bhachek Road sub-project as it provides access to north east part of district.
6.3 Alternative Alignment 182. This is an existing track and the only route to connect Luitel gaun with Bhachek.
Therefore, other alternative alignment has not been surveyed.
6.4 Alternative Design and Construction Approach 183. The road sub-project is proposed for construction through NBC approach by using
contractor and spoil disposal is balanced with cutting and filling as far as possible. There will
be minimum use of excavator, rock breaker, compacter, roller and truck for road
construction. Simple dry stone walls, gabion walls and stone causeways are used to the
maximum extent possible.
6.5 Alternative Schedule and Process 184. During the rainy season, construction work is stopped to allow the natural
compaction of the road. The road construction work will be carried out during the remaining
months.
6.6 Alternative Resources 185. The physical resources consumed during the construction of the road will mainly
include boulders for gabions and stones for dry stone masonry and gabion walls. The
proposed construction will optimally use the local materials.

7 Public Consultation and Information Disclosure 7.1 Public Consultation 186. In order to ensure public involvement, the following procedures were followed during
IEE report preparation:
Publication of notice- a 15 days public notice was published on 2072/12/18 B.S.
(31/03/2016 A.D) in Himalaya Times, a national Nepali daily newspaper, (see Appendix
VI) seeking written opinion from concerned municipality, then VDCs, then DDC, schools,
health posts and related local organizations. A copy of the public notice was also affixed
in the above mentioned organizations and a deed of enquiry (muchulka) was collected
(see Appendix VII for deed of inquiry). Recommendation letters were also obtained from
municipality, then VDCs and CFUGs as given in Appendix VIII.
The IEE team carried out interactions with local communities and related stakeholders
during the field survey to collect public concerns and suggestions. Moreover, focus group
discussions were conducted to collect and solicit information regarding the bio-physical,
socio-economic and cultural aspects of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung -

8 Grievance Redress Mechanism
189. The objective the grievance redress mechanism (GRM) is to resolve complaints as
quickly as possible and at the local level through a process of conciliation; and, if that is not
possible, to provide clear and transparent procedures for appeal. A well-defined grievance
redress and resolution mechanism will be established to resolve grievances and complaints
in a timely and satisfactory manner. All affected persons will be made fully aware of their
rights, and the detailed grievance redress procedures will be publicized through an effective
public information campaign. The grievance redress process includes four levels:
190. First level of GRM: The first level and most accessible and immediate contact for
the fastest resolve of grievances are the contractors, and design and supervision consultants
on site. Prior to construction of any works, the CLPIU and DLPIU will ensure local
community meetings are held to notify local residents and businesses of any temporary
disturbances, and to inform them of the Project. If a local area committee (LAC) exists in the
area, they should also be informed. If any complaints arise, the contractors, consultants, and
DLPIU can immediately resolve the complaint on site. The CLPIU can also be involved in
grievance redress at this stage. The CLPIU and DLPIU office phone number will be posted
in public areas within the sub-project areas and construction sites. Any person with a
grievance related to the project works can contact the project to file a complaint. The DLPIU
offices will have a safeguards focal person to field and resolve complaints. The safeguards
(environment and resettlement) focal person will document the complaint, and immediately
address and resolve the issue with the contractor within 1-2 days, if the complaint remains
unresolved at the field level. The DLPIU may seek the assistance of the consultant
safeguards specialists (the environmental specialist or social safeguards specialist) to
resolve the issue. The DLPIU safeguards focal person will notify the CLPIU safeguards focal
person that a complaint was received, and whether it was resolved. The DLPIU safeguards
focal person will fully document the following information: (i) name of the person; (ii) date
complaint was received; (iii) nature of complaint; (iv) location, and (v) how the complaint was
resolved.
191. Second level of GRM: If the grievance remains unresolved; the DLPIU will forward
the complaint to the CLPIU safeguards focal person. The person filing the grievance will be
notified by DLPIU safeguards focal person that the grievance was forwarded to the CLPIU
safeguards focal person. The CLPIU will address the grievance. Grievances will be resolved
through continuous interactions with affected persons, and the CLPIU will answer queries
and resolve grievances regarding various issues including environmental or social impacts.
Corrective measures will be under taken at the field level by the CLPIU safeguards focal
person within 7 days. He/she will fully document the following information: (i) name of the
person; (ii) date complaint was received; (iii) nature of complaint; (iv) location and (v) how
the complaint was resolved.
192. Third level of GRM: If the grievance remain unresolved, the CLPIU’s project director will activate the third level of the GRM by referring the issue (with written documentation) to
a Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) constituted by the EA, which will, based on review
of the grievances, address them in consultation with the PMU, CLPIU, DLPIU, and affected
persons. The GRC will consist of PMU leadership, affected persons, and local area
committee, among others—determined to provide impartial, balanced views on any issues.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 61
The GRC should consist of at least five persons. A hearing will be called with the GRC, if
necessary, where the affected person can present his/her concern and issues. The process
will promote conflict resolution through mediation. The GRC will meet as necessary when
there are grievances to be addressed. The GRC will suggest corrective measures at the field
level and assign clear responsibilities for implementing its decision within 15 days. The
functions of the GRC are as follows: (i) to provide support to affected persons on problems
arising from environmental or social disruption, asset acquisition (where required), and
eligibility for entitlements compensation, and assistance; (ii) to record grievances of affected
persons, categorize and prioritize them, and provide solutions within 15 days; and (iii) to
report to the aggrieved parties developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the
GRC. The PMU safeguards focal person will be responsible for processing and placing all
papers before the GRC, recording decisions, issuing minutes of the meetings, and taking
follow-up action to see that formal orders are issued and the decisions carried out.
193. Fourth level of GRM: In the event that a grievance is not addressed by the
contractor, DISC, CLPIU, DLPIU or GRC, the affected person can seek legal redress of the
grievance in the appropriate courts, the fourth level of the GRM, which is the formal legal
court system. The GRM however does not prevent affected persons from seeking legal
redress at any time. The grievance redress mechanism and procedure is depicted in Figure
11 below.

on grievances: (i) number of cases registered with the GRC, level of jurisdiction (first,
second, and third levels), number of hearings held, decisions made, and the status of
pending cases; and (ii) lists of cases in process and already decided upon may be prepared
with details such as affected person, date of notice, date of application, date of hearing,
decisions, remarks, actions taken to resolve issues, and status of grievance (i.e. open,
closed, pending).
195. All costs involved in resolving the complaints (meetings, consultations,
communication and reporting / information dissemination) will be borne by the PMU.
196. ADB’s accountability mechanism will also be explained to affected households.

9.3 Mitigation Cost for Executing the Environmental Management Plan 201. The estimated cost for beneficial augmentation measures like awareness raising
program, skill training, promotion of small scale industries, and income generation activities
will be covered by the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) component of the
project. Costs for income generation and awareness programme activities for Affected
Persons (APs) are included in Resettlement Plan. The design and cost estimate for most of
the suggested mitigation measures such as slope stabilization, spoil disposal, landslide
construction will be incorporated in the design and cost estimates. However clear Bow will
be prepared for supply of face masks, helmets, muffles, accidental insurance,
bioengineering measures, plantation and environmental protection awareness trainings.
Therefore, most of the mitigation measures suggested would be a part of road design and
construction without additional cost. All proposed mitigation measures will be integrated in
the sub-project design so that these measures may automatically form part of the
construction and operational phases of the Sub-project.
9.3.1 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Activities
202. The CLPIU, with the DLPIU and the DIMU, will monitor and measure the progress of
EMP implementation. The monitoring activities will be corresponding with the project’s risks and impacts and will be identified in the IEE. In addition to recording information of the work,
deviation of work components from original scope, the CLPIU with the DLPIU will undertake
site inspections and document review to verify compliance with the EMP and progress
toward the final outcome.
203. DSC will submit monthly monitoring and implementation reports to the CLPIU, who
will take follow-up actions, if necessary. CLPIU will submit the quarterly monitoring and
implementation reports to the PMU. The PMU will submit semi-annual monitoring reports to
ADB. Project budgets will reflect the costs of monitoring and reporting requirements.
Monitoring reports will be posted in a location accessible to the public.
204. The PMU will document monitoring results, identify the necessary corrective actions,
and reflect them in a corrective action plan. The PMU, in each quarter, will study the
compliance with the action plan developed in the previous quarter. Compliance with loan
covenants will be screened by the executing agency.
205. ADB will review project performance against the executing agency’s commitments as
agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB's monitoring and supervision activities will
be commensurate with the Project’s risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management
system. ADB will monitor projects on an ongoing basis until a project completion report is
issued. ADB will carry out the following monitoring actions to supervise project
implementation:
(i) Conduct periodic site visits for projects with adverse environmental impacts;
(ii) Review the periodic monitoring reports submitted by the executing agency to
ensure that adverse impacts and risks are mitigated as planned and as agreed
with ADB;
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 78
(iii) Work with executing agency to rectify to the extent possible any failures to comply
with their safeguard commitments, as covenanted in the legal agreements, and
exercise remedies to re-establish compliance as appropriate; and
(iv) Prepare a project completion report that assesses whether the objective and
desired outcomes of the safeguard plans have been achieved, taking into
account the baseline conditions and the results of monitoring.
206. Total cost of environmental monitoring (field visits, observation, review of reports and
report preparation) is estimated NRs. 200,000 as given in Table 22.

9.4 Matters to be Monitored while Implementing the Proposal 207. Monitoring of the implementation of environmental protection measures provides a
basis for logical comparison for the predicted and actual impacts of a proposal.
Environmental monitoring will involve the systematic collection of data to determine the
actual environmental impacts of the sub-project, compliance of the sub-project with
regulatory standards, and the degree of implementation and effectiveness of the
environmental protection. Monitoring will be an integral part of the implementation of the
mitigation measures during project construction, and will generate important information. It
will improve the quality of sub-project implementation.
208. The National EIA Guidelines (1993) and working procedure related to reconstruction
of Earthquake affected structure, 2016 require monitoring plans and indicators, schedules
and responsibility be identified in the IEE report. The following sub-sections deal with the
various components of the monitoring programme in order to promote the full integration of
monitoring activities in Project works and implementation.
9.4.1 Baseline Monitoring
209. Baseline monitoring helps to update the baseline information collected during
IEE/EIA study when there is a significant time gap between IEE/EIA approval and proposal
implementation. In general, it is carried out if there is a significant time lapse between the
preparation of the IEE report and the construction stage or a change in environmental quality
is noticeable. This sub-project will proceed for construction immediately after the approval of
this IEE report and hence, baseline monitoring is not required for this sub-project.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 79
9.4.2 Compliance Monitoring
210. Compliance monitoring is essential in order to ensure that environmental protection
measures recommended by this study and other requirements set forth during the approval
of the sub-project are complied with. This monitoring is not concerned with determining the
actual effect of the sub-project activities on the environment.
211. The proponent will ensure compliance of activities such as; inclusion of mitigation
measures in the design and tender documents, budget allocation for mitigation measures
and monitoring, compensation arrangements and other compliances spoil disposal, storage
sites, arrangement of construction activities etc.
212. The borrower’s compliance with covenants will be monitored through ADB’s project administration missions – including the project inception mission, when the loan covenants’ compliance timetable will be discussed and agreed upon. Project review missions will
appraise the borrower’s compliance with loan covenants vis-à-vis the timetable agreed in the
loan agreement. Non-compliance or delay in compliance will be discussed and remedial
measures shall be proposed to GoN for timely compliance. If required, the midterm review
mission will review compliance of loan covenants and also assess whether the set of
covenants are still relevant or need to be revised or waived due to changes in
circumstances; if so, the mission will recommend revisions or waivers for consideration of
ADB and GoN.
9.4.3 Impact Monitoring
213. Impact monitoring is generally carried out to assess the effectiveness of the
environmental mitigation measures and provides actual levels of impacts in the field. Hence
an impact monitoring evaluation study is proposed by the end of the sub-project construction
phase or within three years of sub-project implementation. Impact monitoring will focus on
each predicted impact and effectiveness of environmental protection measures. This will
also focus on the stability of slopes; spoil disposal sites, work camps and labour camps,
wastes on the local environment. The utilization of cash compensation to the extent possible,
condition of the forest in the vicinity of the sub-project area, water management, damage to
human facilities, incremental change in production of high value commodities, increase in
other sources of income, employment generation, road side plantation, social status,
impediment to wildlife movement, etc.
9.4.4 Project Performance Monitoring
214. The executing agency, in consultation with ADB, will develop within 6 months of loan
effectiveness, a project performance monitoring and reporting system. The executing agency
shall develop a web-based project performance monitoring and reporting system which will
include functions for accounting and expenditures the recovery and reconstruction (R&R)
program, concurrent evaluation of impacts, outcomes, outputs and activities in relation to
targets and milestones established for the project and the overall R&R program for the
earthquake affected areas in Nepal. The executing agency will prepare monitoring reports in
a pre-approved uniform format for all donors, covering key aspects of the R&R program, with
an additional annex specific to the Project for periodic submission to ADB as agreed.
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 80
9.4.5 Safeguards Monitoring
215. The PMC will brief the DLPIU and CLPIU Safeguards Focal Persons and the DIMU
on monitoring requirements for EMP and resettlement plan implementation. Monitoring data
will be generated by the DLPIU and DIMUs and provided to the CLPIU. The CLPIU will then
verify the monitoring data and submit these and other required information to the PMU. The
PMU will prepare semi-annual monitoring reports (one for environment and one for
involuntary resettlement) that describe progress of safeguards implementation, compliance
issues, and corrective actions. Reports will be posted in a location accessible to the public.
Safeguards monitoring requirements including suggested monitoring report formats are in
the EARF and Resettlement Framework.
9.5 Monitoring Parameters 216. These would be based on the level of site-specific information or existing data series
and impacts prediction. Efforts will be made to make the indicators measurable and
diagnostic with low natural variability and broad applicability. In this context, the following
physical, biological and social indicators will be monitored during the construction and
operational stages of the sub-project.
9.5.1 Pre-Construction Phase
217. During this phase the Consultant (CLPIU) bear the main responsibility in ensuring
that the environmental and social safeguard considerations are adequately incorporated in
the Project design and that the respective clauses to address the identified impacts are
sufficiently included in the specifications and work contracts.
9.5.2 Construction Phase
218. In this phase the monitoring focuses on impacts on the environmental and social
setting caused by the ongoing sub-project. This monitoring checks compliance with the
practices, norms, standards and technical solutions prescribed in the design and in the EMP.

10 Conclusion and Recommendation 224. The IEE study of the Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek road
sub-project does not pass through any environmentally sensitive areas and has minimal
adverse impacts. Most of the adverse impacts predicted are of low significance and short
term, as well as of reversible nature. The beneficial impacts that come with the facility of
access to market centers and the location of social services will enhance the productivity of
the area and improve the quality of life of the people. In addition, local people will get direct
employment as workers, which will contribute significantly to improving their livelihood.
These benefits from the implementation of the road sub-project are more significant and long
term in nature compared to the adverse impacts, most of which can be mitigated or avoided.
Relevant issues raised during public consultation have also been addressed in the mitigation
measures.
225. The project attracts clause 1 and 2 of schedule 1 pertaining to section 3 of working
procedure relating environmental impact assessment for reconstruction of the earthquake
affected structure, 2016. And the IEE has shown that none of the anticipated environmental
impacts of rehabilitation and reconstruction of the road are significant enough to need a
detailed follow-up EIA. Therefore, this IEE is sufficient for approval of the sub-project.
226. The road sub-project is recommended for implementation with incorporation of
mitigation measures and the environmental management plan.

Checklist for Preliminary Climate Risk Screening
Country/Project Title: Earthquake Emergency Response Program (EEAP) Sector: Sub-sector: Division/Department:
Screening Questions
Score Remarks 1
Location and Design of project
Is sitting and/or routing of the project (or its components) likely to be affected by climate conditions including extreme weather related events such as floods, droughts, storms, landslides?
2
Sub-project area is vulnerable to drought and soil erosion.
Would the project design (e.g. the clearance for bridges) need to consider any hydro-meteorological parameters (e.g., sea-level, peak river flow, reliable water level, peak wind speed etc.)?
0
There is one river named Hudi khola in the sub-project area.
Materials and
Maintenance
Would weather, current and likely future climate conditions (e.g. prevailing humidity level, temperature contrast between hot summer days and cold winter days, exposure to wind and humidity hydro-meteorological parameters likely affect the selection of project inputs over the life of project outputs (e.g. construction material)?
0
Would weather, current and likely future climate conditions, and related extreme events likely affect the maintenance (scheduling and cost) of project output(s)?
1
Performance of project outputs
Would weather/climate conditions and related extreme events likely affect the performance (e.g. annual power production) of project output(s) (e.g. hydro-power generation facilities) throughout their design life time?
1
Options for answers and corresponding score are provided below: Response Score Likely 0 Likely Not 1 Very Likely 2
Responses when added that provide a score of 0 will be considered low risk project. If adding all responses will result to a score of 1-4 and that no score of 2 was given to any single response, the project will be assigned a Medium risk category. A total score of 5 or more (which include providing a score of 1 in all responses) or a 2 in any single response will be categorized as high risk project.
Result of Initial Screening (Low, Medium, High): High Other comments: Sub-project site is vulnerable to extreme weather related events mainly drought and soil erosion. Apart from Hudi khola in the chainage there is no other rivers and stream along the road. Prepared by: ______________________________________________ If possible, provide details on the sensitivity of project components to climate conditions, such as how climate
parameters are considered in design standards for infrastructure components, how changes in key climate
parameters and sea level might affect the sitting/routing of project, the selection of construction material and/or
scheduling, performances and/or the maintenance cost/scheduling of project outputs.

Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist
Instructions:
This checklist is to be completed with the assistance of an Environment Specialist.
This checklist focuses on environmental issues and concerns.
Answer the questions assuming the ―without mitigation‖ case. The purpose is to identify potential impacts. Use the ―remarks‖ section to discuss any anticipated
mitigation measures.
Project Title:
Sub-Project:
SCREENING QUESTIONS Yes No REMARKS
A. Project sitting
Is the project area adjacent to or within
any of the following environmentally
sensitive areas?
Cultural heritage site
Protected area
Wetland
Mangrove
Estuarine
Buffer Zone of Protected Area
Special area for protecting
biodiversity
B. Potential environmental impacts
Will the project cause…
Encroachment on historical/cultural
areas; disfiguration of landscape by
road embankments, cuts, fills, and
quarries?
There are no historic or cultural
areas along the road.
Disfiguration of landscape will
occur due to cut and fill,
however, cut and fill volume will
be balanced.
Encroachment on precious ecology
(e.g. Sensitive or protected areas)?

IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 109
SCREENING QUESTIONS Yes No REMARKS
Alteration of surface water hydrology
of waterways crossed by roads,
resulting in increased sediment in
streams affected by increased soil
erosion at construction site?
Deterioration of surface water quality
due to silt runoff and sanitary wastes
from worker-based camps and
chemicals used in construction?
There will be no significant
impact.
Increased local air pollution due to
rock crushing, cutting and filling
works, and chemicals from asphalt
processing?
The air pollution will be
mitigated by spraying water
during the construction as this
is an upgrading road.
Risks and vulnerabilities related to
occupational health and safety due
to physical, chemical, biological and
radiological hazards during project
construction and operation?
The safety measures will be
provided for all the workers to
prevent from hazards.
Noise and vibration due to blasting
and other civil works?
Dislocation or involuntary
resettlement of people
Resettlement Plan will be
prepared to address involuntary
resettlement of the affected
people.
Dislocation and compulsory
resettlement of people living in right-
of-way?
Private structures like house,
shop, shed etc. will be
dislocated within the formation
width of the road and they will
be provided with compensation
based on Resettlement Plan.
Disproportionate impacts on the
poor, women and children,
indigenous peoples or other
vulnerable groups?
Other social concerns relating to
inconveniences in living conditions in
the project areas that may trigger
cases of upper respiratory problems
and stress?
Not envisaged.
Hazardous driving conditions where
construction interferes with pre-
existing roads?
IEE of Luitel - Aappipal - Harmi Bhanjyang - Thalajung - Bhachek Road Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Sub-project, Gorkha 110
SCREENING QUESTIONS Yes No REMARKS
Poor sanitation and solid waste
disposal in construction camps and
work sites, and possible
transmission of communicable
diseases (such as STI’s and HIV/AIDS) from workers to local
populations?
The road will be constructed by
the contractors who will stay in
the camp site for work and
campsite management will be
done for all the workers outside
the project area.
Creation of temporary breeding
habitats for diseases such as
transmitted by mosquitoes and
rodents?
Road construction is in hilly
region. So, there will be no
breeding habitats for
mosquitoes.
Accident risks associated with
increased vehicular traffic, leading to
accidental spills of toxic materials
and loss of life?
Traffic volume is negligible.
Increased noise and air pollution
resulting from traffic volume?
Traffic volume will be minimal
and traffic speed will be very
slow (<20 km/hour).
Increased risk of water pollution from
oil, grease and fuel spills, and other
materials from vehicles using the
road?
Not envisaged.
Social conflicts if workers from other
regions or countries are hired?
Not envisaged.
Large population influx during
project construction and operation
that causes increased burden on
social infrastructure and services
(such as water supply and sanitation
systems)?
Not envisaged.
Risk to community health and safety
due to the transport, storage and
use and/or disposal of materials
such as explosives, fuel and other
chemicals during construction and
operation?
Not envisaged.
Community safety risk due to both
accidental and natural causes,
especially where the structural
elements or components of the
project are accessible to members of
the affected community throughout
project construction, operation and
decommissioning.
Not envisaged.
