1. SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTION
This is the sixth “Bi-Annual Environmental Monitoring and Management (EMMP) Report” of the Project “Construction of Hassanabdal (Burhan)-Havelian (Samlaila) Motorway, E-35 Package III (KM 39+611 to 56+ 611). This BAEMMR covers the implementation status of Contractor’s compliance with SSEMMP/EMMP, ADB and GOP Environmental Safeguard Policies/guidelines from July-December, 2017 on Package III (Jarikus to Havelian). Package III of E35 project was supervised and monitored by the concerned staff of NHA, ADB and Supervision Consultant. Advisory services are provided to Contractor staff in order to rectify EMMP non-compliances at required sites. Annual Country’s Review Meeting regarding Safeguard Policies was held in NHA, Headquarter Islamabad dated 15th December, 2017. Officials of NHA, ADB and Supervision Consultant participated in the meeting. The ADB mission members highlighted that the safety aspects should be given more consideration in order to ensure safety at works. Contractor overall status of EMMP implementation is satisfactory as the Contractor established project facilities (Camp, Concrete Batching Plants, and Asphalt Plants) as per EMMP. The wastewater treatment system at camp and batching plants were provided with septic tank and soakage pit while wet scrubbers were provided at Asphalt plant to minimize impacts of air emissions and waste effluents. Garbage was collected in drums and disposed off at approved disposal area. Clean drinking water was provided to all workers and staff at facilities and active construction sites. Safety measures like PPEs, fire extinguishers and sand buckets are provided at camp sites, asphalt plants and batching plants. Emergency contact numbers are displayed at facilities for any information/contact in case of emergency situations. Health facility like dispensary and first aid kits are provided at sites. Dispensary with adequate basic medicines and patient bed is provided at camp 3+500 while first aid kits are placed at asphalt plants, batching plants and active construction sites. Qualified and experienced paramedic staff is available for 24 hours at dispensary. Workshop and storage area were also kept as per EMMP requirements by providing impervious/concrete platform to avoid any oil contamination. Steel yard is maintained at camp sites. Bitumen/oil is stored in drums, tanks and kept on concrete platform Storage areas are covered with sheds to avoid from rains. Tool Box Trainings (TBTS) were regularly carried out in order to build capacity of workers and ensure implementation of EMMP. Monthly and Bi Annual Environmental Monitoring Reports were submitted by both Contractor and Supervision Consultant to NHA and ADB .

In month of October, 2017, a session was arranged and conducted regarding Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Lecture was delivered by well qualified and experienced Doctor namely Dr. Noman. Lecture was delivered through multimedia and visuals. In the end question answers session was also carried out. Workers and staff appreciated such types of awareness campaign. Total around 200 workers and staff attended the training. Blood samples of 56 workers were also taken for identifying related diseases. Out of the total samples, seven people are diagnosed as Hepatitis C and B. Treatment was given to these infected people from Ayub Medical Hospital, Abbottabad During reporting period, no accident or fatality has been occurred due to improvement in contractor safety measures at site. Analytical monitoring of environmental parameters was carried out dated 19th-20th May, 2017. Contractor remains non complaint in order to not carry out the quarterly analytical monitoring of environmental parameters to date. SC sent several reminders to contractor for carrying out the said activity but till 31st December, 2017 contractor not complied. 1.1. Project Background
The existing Hassanabdal – Mansehra Road is an important part of the entire
communication network of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and Northern Areas which links with
Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Kaghan Valley and China via “Karakoram Highway (KKH)”.
Existing Hassanabdal - Mansehra Road is a three-lane single carriageway road with
a width of 10.5 meters. Heavy traffic load has been observed on this road since last ten
years. To support sustained growth and increase competitiveness, Government of
Pakistan (GOP) has taken a strategic approach to the transportation and has launched
a major initiative to improve the trade and transport logistics chain in KPK and Punjab.
National Highway Authority (NHA) planned to construct Hassanabdal -Mansehra
Expressway (E-35) as a part of “National Trade Corridor (NTC)” Project. The
proposed project is financed by the “Asian Development Bank (ADB)” and Government
of Pakistan.
This Express Highway project is entitled as “Hassanabdal – Havelian section of E-35”,
and is a new highway alignment, which starts from Burhan Interchange of Islamabad-
Peshawar Motorway (M-1) and ends at Havelian near Hazara University. This Project
will connect and facilitate three districts namely Attack, Haripur and Abbottabad. It
curves away to north-west of existing N-35 passing near Shin Gali and Jabbar and then
curves back passing near Kuldarra, Chhaprian & Kalu Pind and finally crosses existing
N-35 at Jarikas. From here, it again curves away to north-east of existing N-35 crossing
Hattar and Khanpur Roads at Kot Najeebullah and Chichian respectively. Finally, the
alignment ends at Havelian near Hazara University, Havelian Campus. Total length of
the E-35 Phase-1 alignment (Hassanabdal - Havelian Section) is 57.06 Km with total
Right of Way (ROW) of 80m for first two Packages and 60m ROW for Package III.
The design speed of the Expressway E35 is 120 Km/hr. The new expressway is
intended to provide a safe, quick and more efficient passage to KKH/ Northern areas
and China via KKH. The new expressway E35 is intended to provide a safe, quick and
more efficient passage to KKH/ Northern areas and China via KKH. It will be a limited

(July-December, 2017)
Package III (Sarai Saleh-Simlaila KM39.611-56+611)
access, six-lane dual carriageway facility with six lanes structures. It is located in mostly
plain and partly hilly terrain.
Express Highway project (57.6 km) is envisaged to be implemented in three packages whereas Package III total length is 17.01 Km (Sarai Saleh-Havelian).
Currently construction on Package III is I progress. Express Highway (E-35) the
construction of Express Highway E35 Burhan to Havelian is a Project under the
“Pakistan National Trade Corridor Highway Investment Program–Tranche 2
(Hassanabdal–Havelian Section)” of the Government of Pakistan sponsored/ funded by
the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and DFID. The National Highway Authority is the
Client of the Project and the key responsible Government Department.
1.2. Project Description and Scope of Work and Conversion from 4 lanes to 6
lanes
Initially this Express Highway project was entitled as “Hassanabdal – Havelian section of
E-35” was a new highway alignment which starts from Burhan Interchange of
Islamabad-Peshawar Motorway (M-1) and finally alignment is ended at Havelian near
Hazara University of Hazara Campus. On 29th April 2016, ADB has issued approval of 6
lanes motorway. Right of way of project will be identical and 6 lanes will be constructed.
This Project will connect and facilitate three districts namely Attack, Haripur and
Abbottabad. It curves away to north-west of existing N-35 passing near Shin Gali and
Jabbar and then curves back passing near Kuldarra, Chhaprian & Kalu Pind and finally
crosses existing N-35 at Jarikas. From here, it again curves away to north-east of
existing N-35 crossing Hattar and Khanpur Roads at kot Najeebullah and Chichian
respectively. Finally, the alignment ends at Havelian near Hazara University, Havelian
Campus. Total length of the E-35 alignment (Hassanabdal - Havelian Section) is
57.06Km with total Right of Way (ROW) of 80m to Package I & II (39.5Km) while 60m
for remaining 17.01 Km (Packages III). The design speed of the Motorway M35 is 120
Km/hr. The new motorway is intended to provide a safe, quick and more efficient
passage to Northern areas of Pakistan and China via the Karakoram Highway (KKH).
