EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES-1. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is presently having severe power shortage. All sorts of people and organizations are substantially sufferer of power shortage. In order to overcome this situation, Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR), The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh (GOB) initially intended to construct 2×150MW Gas Turbine Peaking Power Plant at Siddhirganj under the financial assistance of World Bank, but latter, GOB further reviewed the project and intended to explore the possibility of enhancing capacity and reducing energy loss of the project and planned to construct Siddhirganj 450MW Combined Cycle Power Plant (450 MW CCPP) instead of 2×150MW gas turbine peaking power plant, which will require additional 3 acres (approximately) of land adjacent to the north of previously earmarked project site and total 9.24 acres will be used for project purposes. This additional 3 acres (approximately) of land has been allocated to EGCB Ltd, through BPDB’s board meeting. Within this additional land one store yard of PGCB and a wall of DPDC need to be demolished, other than these two minor changes there would not be any relocation/resettlement or demolition in and around the project site. According to the Environment Conservation Rules (ECR, 1997), proposed power plant falls under “RED category” and needs to submit necessary documents for obtaining site clearance from Department of Environment (DoE). Similarly according to the World Bank Operational Policy (1999, OP 4.01), this project has been classified as an Environmental category-A project, requiring an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the construction and operation of the project with recommendations for appropriate mitigation and management measures. On the basis of GoB's previous decision for construction of proposed 2×150 MW PPP at Siddhirganj power plant complex, power cell under Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, GoB, proceeded to meet the regulatory requirement of both GoB (ECR-1997) and WB operation policy (1999, OP 4.01) and subsequently conducted full scale EIA for 2×150MW PPP at Siddhirganj, Narayanganj, and the DoE has exempted the IEE and had given the site clearance (DOE/clearance/234/2006/111-dated 16-1-2007) and later on the DoE also given approval of EIA for the previously planned Peaking Power Plant (DOE/Dh. Div./Clearance/14391/2002/3291-dated 13-12-2007). Due to the changed situation a full scale Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) study needs to be conducted and submit report to WB to meet their requirement as they consider it as a separate application from Bangladesh for a new project. On the other hand the recent conducted ESIA report needs to be submitted to DoE as an addendum of the previous EIA report of 2×150 MW PPP for acknowledgement and also to meet the requirements of clearance clauses to identify potential environmental and social impacts and suggests appropriate mitigation and management measures for sustainable environmental growth and development.


ii

This SIA report is based on the appropriate ToR and Table of Content (ToC) to meet the requirement of World Bank and DoE for the current proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP project. The scope of the SIA includes collection and presentation of baseline environmental data, socio-economic data, and the results of public consultation in order to document the base line social conditions of the project area. The SIA also identifies social impacts/issues, and includes a Social Management Plan (SMP) which measures the proposed mitigation of potential negative impacts and will subsequently promote positive impacts. Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh Ltd. (EGCB Ltd.), a company under Ministry of Power, Energy and mineral Resources (An Enterprise of Bangladesh Power Development Board) will ensure that the appointed EPC contractor address all relevant social issues following social development policies, laws, regulations of the Government of Bangladesh, DoE guidelines, Labour law (2006), WB safeguard policies. EGCB Ltd. will take the responsibility and address all relevant social issues following the rules and guidelines as stated above through its own corporate Environmental Management Unit (EMU).

The power cell, Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has appointed an individual consultant (including his team) to conduct study and prepare an independent SIA report for implementation of the currently proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP covering both GoB and WB guidelines and their requirements.

Indigenous community and archaeological sites and relocation issues

In this project area there are no indigenous people residing and no archaeological sites were found, no resettlement and relocation issues are identified in this project site.

Project Location and Accessibility: The proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP project located within Siddhirganj power generation complex on the western bank of Sitalakhya river in Siddhirganj Pourashava, under Narayanganj district. The description of the proposed GIS location is given in Table-1.1. The entire power plant complex is completely enclosed, covers an area of about 88 acres and is owned by Power Development Board. The necessary land about 9.24 acres has been allocated to EGCB Ltd by Power Development Board (PDB), for implementation, construction and operation of proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP.

The proposed project site at Siddhirganj power plant complex is approximately 20 km North-East of Dhaka.To the immediate west, along the boundary of the Siddhirganj complex is the Demra-Narayanganj road. The Sitalakhya river immediately to the east of the complex.

ES-3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The key components of the proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project for generation of power located at Siddhirganj, Nayrayanganj, would include:

Demolition of old PGCB store house located at the south-east part of the project site Fencing of the project area, guard shed, gate etc. Construction of Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP (includes civil construction, setting of

turbine, generator, transformer, control room, online emission monitoring facility, mechanical, electrical, erection of all machine, equipment, cooling tower, water treatment plant, effluent treatment plant, fire fighting facility etc.) at project site located within Siddhirganj Power Plant Complex compound, Siddhirganj, Narayanganj.

Ancillary:Site development: The proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP construction site is medium high land and currently used mostly as fallow and portion of it is occupied by an old store on the South-east side of the allotted land within Siddhirganj Power Plant Complex. Detailed information about project location and area are described in the EIA Volume-1. The project site will be initially cleared by demolition of old stores of PGCB been allocated to the EGCB Ltd through a board meeting of BPDB during October 2010. Civil Construction Materials and equipment movement within the project site Most civil construction materials will be procured from industry/markets of Dhaka and will be transported to project site by both Dhaka-Chittagong high waya and also Shitalakhya river transport ways. Heavy equipment will be imported via sea port and will be landed to the project site through Sitalakhya river water ways. During shipment of equipment GB regulations and WB Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for shipping (2007) will be followed.


iv

The existing internal roads will be used for movement of the vehicles and transportation of materials within the Siddhirganj power plant complex. There will be no relocation of any kind of settlement including makeshift hut due to movement of the construction materials. Demolition work in the project site There will be a very minimum demolition work required during land development and site preparation of the proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP located at Siddhirganj power plant complex. The old unused store of PGCB (Figure-1) and a wall of DPDC will be demolished as part of the site preparation, during demolition of store care will be taken as per WB safeguard policies including Labour law 2006 of Bangladesh. This minor demolition work will not affect any settlement as this site was vacant.

Construction of Drainage for Domestic and Industrial Wastewater:

Separate drainage systems will be provided for storm-water run off, domestic sewage, oily wastes, and chemically contaminated discharges during construction and operation of the project. The Right of Way (ROW) for the above noted construction is vacant and there is no occupant or makeshift hut and therefore, there will be no relocation due to the above noted drainage construction work. Temporary camp and water Supply facility:

Water for cooling process, drinking, sanitary facilities, and showers will be sourced from the existing water system at the designated terminal point. EPC contractor shall install a properly maintained water filtration system which will be used to provide high quality camp/field office/guard shade water free from contaminants (eg. heavy metals, coliforms). The construction of water well will be in the designated place which is currently vacant. In addition to that the temporary camp will be either out side or in the vacant land within Sddhirganj power plant complex. Therefore, there will be no relocation due to above noted construction works. Excavation of land and foundation work: The Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project site is a medium high land area and is located at the north-west corner within boundary wall of Siddhirganj Power Plant campus. There is no occupant of any kind of settlements of temporary or permanent either legally or illegally in any part of the project site. There are many labours currently staying in some makeshift hut in the Siddhirganj power plant complex but no such make shift hut is currently found within prposed 450 MW CCPP project site. Therefore, there will be no need of any kind of relocation or resettlement in the project site due to soil excavation or land preparation of the proposed 450 MW CCPP project site. During excavation work if any cultural property is found, that will be considered as GOB’s state property. Therefore, during excavation work, the EPC contractor shall follow GOB regulation and WB guidelines OP 4.20-Cultural property. The details are described in Chapter-2 and Chapter-8 of EIA document.

BASELINE SOCIAL CONDITION Social condition of the Project impact area (5km around the project site) The project site is located in the Siddhirganj Pourashava within Narayan ganj district under Dhaka Division. The Narayanganj district is divided in to five thanas. These are Bandar, Narayanganj sadar, Sonargaon, Rupganj and Demra under Narayanganj district. The area is economically very active. The project area is mostly consists of people of middle and lower middle class. Total household and population of project impact area for 2009 (based on the BBS-2001 and projected to 2009) is 522429. The total land area of Narayanganj district is about 759.57 km2. Social baseline within Siddhirganj power plant complex The Siddhirganj power plant complex is an enclave of about 88 acres of land which is totally surrounded by wall and owned by the Bangladesh Power Development (BPDB) under MPEMR, GOB. The entire complex area is constructed in a planned way and distributed with plant area, residential area, mosque, community market, school, hospital etc. The employees of the power plant complex are mainly residing within the power plant complex in their residential quarters. They are using all the civil facilities of the complex such as students


vii

are studying in the school, all residents and including out siders are praying in the mosque, residents are taking medical facilities from the hospital, procuring daily requirements including groceries from the market, students are playing in the school field etc. The proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW PP will be constructed on the north side of the power plant complex which is extended near the Siddhirganj power plant complex school. From the Feasibility report it has been found that the main equipment of the power plant facilities will be distributed on the north side of the proposed project site. The WTP will be located close to the school boundary wall, but it will not occupy any part of the school ear marked property. ES-5. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Focus Group Discussion

Group discussions in a randomly selected given locality with interested groups or their representatives, representatives of Union Parishad, fishing communities, workers at power plants both male and female, mixed groups of farmers, businessmen, labours, shop keepers, rickshaw pullers, van drivers, unemployed youths, students, etc were conducted. A total of 04 group discussions were conducted. General level of participation was 10-20 persons. Individual Interviews with Key Informants

Information was collected from different key informants in which in depth interviews (IDI) were taken regarding the impacts of existing power plants and possible effects of the proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project. Within the study area, 08 key informants were interviewed who expressed their views and opinions on different aspects, with particular focus on their subject area.

Findings from FGD and key informants interview The key findings of the public consultation are as follows:

Baseline Situation:Project site:

The project area is reported to be the area, where the proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP is

scheduled to be constructed.

There is no accommodation of any staff or persons or any un-authorized or authorized

occupants in the old store or nearby premises of the old store which is planned to be

demolished for proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP power plant area and therefore, no

relocation issues will be necessary to be addressed.

Noise pollution at proposed project area is not reported to be higher with comparison to

the residential areas of this power plant complex.

Within the residential area there is a small medical center for the immediate services of

the residents of the power plant complex

Drainage system within power plant complex and project area is fair.

All residents of within this power plant area are officers and workers of this power plant

complex.


viii

The social condition within this power plant area is reported to be healthier with

comparison to the impact zone.

Project impact area o The local resident expected that some of them will be employed in accordance

with their ability. o The construction labour should employed from local area. o During construction and operation there will be more business opportunity and

economic activities will be increased. o The residents are affected due frequent power failure, they expect that after

construction of power plant there will be uninterrupted power supply in their locality.

Possible Impacts and responses based on consultation within power plant complex

There will be no relocation of settlement or any kind of institution due to construction of

proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP at Siddhirganj power plant complex.

The WTP by the side of the School should be managed in such a way that it will not

make any kind disturbances, negative impact to the health and mind of the student and

waiting guardians.

In any case there should not be allowed to occupy any school land or property, which

may cause negative impacts on the education of the school children.

Careful consideration need to given to minimize the sound and odour problem from the

adjacent WTP and ETP for proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP.

There will be no impact on river and other aquatic bodies as there will be no thermal

discharge in to the river water as there will be a provision of cooling tower in place.

The power plant will not release any untreated solid/liquid waste in to the river/canal at the study area.

Extra bit of traffic will be increased during construction and after wards, therefore there

should be proper traffic management, vehicle pollution control following the GOB

regulation and WB Environmental, Health and Safety guidelines for Thermal Power

Plant-2008.

Load shedding will be reduced proportionately and there should be interrupted power

supply in the national grid.

The project will bring benefit to the national economy. The people of the project area have recommended for installing a plant of good quality,

which will be able to provide uninterrupted power supply and will be able to keep good

air quality and noise pollution of the project study area within DoE’s specific guidelines

and WB Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plant-2008.

ES-7. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Mitigation measures suggested by participants: Project site


xiii

Demolition work will not affect the local residents, because there will be regularly water

spraying systems to control generated dusts following the DoE guidelines including

WB’s Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plant-2008 for

protection of Environmental pollution due to dust and Environment Health and Safety

General Guidelines 2007 for protection of demolition workers.

The required toilets for workers will have septic tank/ soak pit facilities therefore there

will be no sewage discharges out side the project site.

The existing power plant workers will not be sharing any civic facilities with demolition

and construction, operation maintenance workers.

There should be taken proper care schedule so that this demolition work will not affect

the educational activities movement within and adjacent to the school compound local

residents including women residing within power plant complex.

Due new establishment of new power plant there should have provision of further

expansion of new housing and amusement facilities including club.

Gender issues should be a taken care and should have equal opportunity of jobs during

construction, operation and maintenance of the proposed project.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The old unused store house of PGCB which will be demolished during project site preparation is

not occupied by any resident. Therefore, there will be no relocation and resettlement required.

Generally people within the power plant complex are aware about the proposed Siddhirganj

450MW CCPP project. The respondent express their concern to maintain the WB safeguard

polices to protect the student of school, residents, woman and children; they also suggested to

confined the construction work during day time.

Out side the power plant complex the respondents welcomed the proposed project of Siddhirganj

450MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project at Siddhirganj. However, they recommended

installing a plant of good quality, which will be able to provide uninterrupted power supply and

will be able to keep project and impact area free of air and noise pollution and the authority will

follow the DoE’s specific guidelines and WB Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for

Thermal Power Plant-2008 and WB relevant safeguard policies in this regard. They also

recommended for few social activities as for example community center for special occasion,

higher educational institute like intermediate/ degree college at this locality. They recommended

to employ the local people at this power plant according their ability. The participant also

recommended for uninterrupted power supply at their locality.

CHAPTER-1: INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background: Bangladesh is presently having severe power shortage. All sorts of people and organizations are substantially sufferer due to power shortage. The industrial sectors will not be able to grow without reliable power supply. In order to overcome this situation, Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR), The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh (GOB) initially intended to construct 2×150 MW Gas Turbine Peaking Power Plant at Siddhirganj under the financial assistance of World Bank and the process was under progress, but latter during the course of study, GOB further reviewed the project and intended to explore the possibility of enhancing capacity and reducing energy loss of the project and planned to construct Siddhirganj 450 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant (450 MW CCPP) instead of 2×150 MW gas turbine peaking power plant at Siddhirganj, Narayanganj with the financial assistance of WB, which will require additional 3 acres (approximately) of land adjacent to the north of previously earmarked project site and total 9.24 acres will be used for project purposes. This additional 3 acres of land has been allocated to EGCB Ltd, through BPDB’s board meeting. In this additional land one store yard of PGCB and a wall of DPDC need to be demolished, other than these two minor changes there would not be any relocation/resettlement or demolition in and around the project site. According to the Environment Conservation Rules (ECR, 1997), proposed power plant (installation of Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP within Siddhirganj compound, Narayanganj location) falls under “RED category” and needs to submit necessary documents for obtaining site clearance from Department of Environment (DoE) and also an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the DoE for Environmental Clearance. Similarly according to the World Bank Operational Policy (1999, OP 4.01), this project has been classified as an Environmental category-A project, requiring an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the construction and operation of the project with recommendations for appropriate mitigation and management measures. On the basis of GoB's previous decision for construction of proposed 2×150 MW PPP at Siddhirganj power plant complex, power cell under Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, GoB, proceeded to meet the regulatory requirement of both GoB (ECR-1997) and WB operation policy (1999, OP 4.01) and subsequently conducted full scale EIA for 2×150MW PPP at Siddhirganj, Narayanganj, and the DoE has exempted the IEE and had given the site clearance (DOE/clearance/234/2006/111-dated 16-1-2007) and later on the DoE also given approval of EIA for the previously planned Peaking Power Plant (DOE/Dh. Div./Clearance/14391/2002/3291-dated 13-12-2007). Due to the changed situation a full scale Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) study needs to be conducted and submit report to WB to meet their requirement as they consider it as a separate application from Bangladesh for a new project. On the other hand the recent conducted ESIA report needs to submitted to DoE as a addendum of the previous EIA report of 2×150 MW PPP for acknowledgement and also to meet the requirements of clearance clauses to identify potential environmental and social impacts and suggests appropriate mitigation and management measures for sustainable environmental growth and development.

This SIA report is based on the appropriate ToR and Table of Content (ToC) for the current proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project (Annex-I). The scope of the SIA includes collection and presentation of baseline environmental data, socio-economic data, and the results of public consultation in order to document the base line social conditions of the project area. The SIA also identifies social impacts/issues, and includes a Social Management Plan (SMP) which measures the proposed mitigation of potential negative impacts and will subsequently promote positive impacts. The SMP documents project activities to world standards in a manner that it is respectful of the needs of the local community, land and available resources. Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh Ltd. (EGCB Ltd.), a company under Ministry of Power, Energy and mineral Resources will ensure that the appointed EPC contractor address all relevant social issues following social development policies, laws, regulations of the Government of Bangladesh, DoE guidelines, Labour law (2006), WB guidelines, and EPC contractor’s own corporate policies and guidelines, relevant treatment methodologies and control strategies and also international laws and regulations that are relevant to the development, operation and implementation of the project during contract period. After completion of the contract period with EPC contractor, EGCB Ltd. will take the responsibility and address all relevant social issues following the rules and guidelines as stated above through its own corporate Environmental Management Unit (EMU).

The power cell, Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has appointed an individual consultant (including his team) to conduct study and prepare an independent SIA report for implementation of the currently proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP covering both GoB and WB guidelines and their requirements.

This document is suitable for submission to WB to meet their requirements and acknowledgement to DoE as an addendum and will be used by appointed EPC contractor during contract period and subsequently EGCB Ltd., will follow the same after initiation of commercial hand over of this power plant by the EPC contractor.

Indigenous community and archaeological sites and relocation issues: In this project area there are no indigenous people residing and no archaeological sites were found, no resettlement and relocation issues are identified in this project site.

1.2. Project Location and Accessibility

The proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project located within Siddhirganj power generation complex on the western bank of Sitalakhya river in Siddhirganj Pourashava, under Narayanganj district. The details description of the proposed GIS location is given in Table-1.1. The entire power plant complex is completely enclosed, covers an area of about 88 acres and is owned by Power Development Board. The necessary land about 9.24 acres has been allocated to EGCB ltd by Power Development Board (PDB), for implementation, construction and operation of proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP.

The proposed project site at Siddhirganj power plant complex is approximately 20 km North-East of Dhaka The proposed project location is accessed from Dhaka by traveling via Dhaka-Chittagang Highway to reach Siddhirganj, Narayanganj.

On the east side across the river and within 2-3 km radius, there are three other gas fired power

plants. These include: (i) the AES Haripur 360 MW power plant, located about 1 km

downstream of the Siddhirganj site; (ii) the PDB 99 MW gas turbine power plant, which will

soon be upgraded to 400 MW with funding from JBIC; and (iii) the NEPC barge mounted

1110 MW power plant. Besides, there is a wooden board making factory located in between

the AES Haripur and the PDB power plant, known for its high emission of fine particulates that

clogged the air intake filters of the PDB plant in the past. The site of the recently closed-down

Adamjee Jute Mill is located immediately along the southern boundary of the Siddhirganj plant

complex, which is now being converted into a Export Processing Zone (Special Economic

Zone). On the northern side, there is a steel re-rolling mill, and also a couple of brick kilns.

There are numerous other small and medium industries within and around the Siddhirganj area.

To the immediate west, along the boundary of the Siddhirganj complex is the Demra-

Narayanganj road constructed on the embankment of an irrigation canal. The whole Siddhirganj

area is quite densely populated like most peri-urban areas around Dhaka. The Sitalakhya river

immediately to the east of the complex is used as a major waterway. It is also the main source of

water for all the industrial activities in the Siddhirganj area, including the power plants.

(8) Two mosques. (9) A hospital, and (10) Shops and some other common facilities that can be expected in a small

township. Figure 3.1 shows the above noted major infrastructure within the Siddhirganj power plant complex. The 210 MW thermal power plant is located on the eastern side of the complex. The 2×120 MW gas turbine Peaking Power plant is also located on the eastern side of the complex close to the bank of the Sitalakhya river. The proposed site for Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP is the vacant land on the north-western corner of the complex. The 132 KV/230KV sub-station is located on the eastern side of the proposed site. A store yard of PGCB is located to the south of the project site. The backside boundary of the high school of the power plant complex is located just opposite to the 132 KV sub-station. The school boundary wall is about 200 ft (60 m) away from the south-eastern boundary of the project site. Residential quarters are located to the east of the school and also to the south of the school on the other side of the main road passing through the complex in the east-west direction. The detail description of the proposed site for construction of Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP is described in section 3.4 below. 3.4. Ancillary

3.4.1. Site development:

The proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP construction site is medium high land and currently used mostly as fallow and portion of it is occupied by an old store on the South-east side of the allotted land within Siddhirganj Power Plant Complex. Detailed information about project location and area are described in the EIA Volume-1. The project site will be initially cleared by demolition of old stores of PGCB which has been allocated to the EGCB Ltd through a board meeting of BPDB during October 2010. The concerned PGCB authorities have been duly consulted and have agreed to transfer the land to BPDB who will in turn allocate it to EGCB. No alternative store will need to be constructed as the present structure was old and abandoned. A boundary wall belonging to DPDC will be demolished. DPDC has been consulted and have no objection to the required activity. The project site located within the Siddhirganj power plant complex area will be upgraded as needed considering the last 50 years flood level (6.93 PWD level), excavating of soil for pile work for civil construction where necessary and excavated soils will be used for backfilling and restoration of the Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP site. The detail of the lay out plan of the proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project site is shown in Fig.-3.2.

Fig,-3.2. Lay out plan fro the proposed 450 MW CCPP at project site.

3.4.2. Civil Construction Materials and equipment movement within the project site: Most civil construction materials will be procured from industry/markets of Dhaka and will be transported to project site by both Dhaka-Chittagong high way and also Shitalakhya river transport ways. Heavy equipment will be imported via sea port and will be landed to the project site through Sitalakhya river water ways. During shipment of equipment GB regulations and WB Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for shipping (2007) will be followed. The nearest sea port will be Chittagong sea port and imported machinery will be transported from Chittagong port to Siddhirganj via Dhaka-Chittagong Highway and also by Shitalakhya river transport ways. Essential small machinery or electrical/electronic parts will also be transported to Dhaka by aircraft and from Air port to Siddhirganj, Narayanganj via Dhaka-Chittagang highway. The existing internal roads will be used for movement of the vehicles and transportation of materials within the Siddhirganj power plant complex. This may be noted that relocation of


12

any kind of settlement including makeshift hut will be necessary due to movement of the construction materials within Siddhirganj power plant complex. 3.4.3. Demolition work in the project site There will be a very minimum demolition work required during land development and site preparation of the proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP located at Siddhirganj power plant complex. The old store of PGCB at the south-east side of the proposed project site will be needed to be demolished (Fig.-3.3) as a part of the site preparation to accommodate space for setting of the configuration of proposed power plant as suggested in the feasibility report. A boundary wall belonging to DPDC will also be demolished.

This minor demolition work will not affect any settlement as this site was vacant and old unused store room of PGCB. During demolition care will be taken as per WB safeguard policies including Labour law 2006 of Bangladesh. The demolition work will be conducted under direct supervision of EGCB Ltd., with own financial assistance as pre-requisite for clearing of land and making it available for proposed construction activities. Both social and the land use survey results indicate that currently there is no person occupying or living (legally or illegally) in the premises of old store which is planned to be demolished for construction of proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP and therefore, no relocation or resettlement is needed to be addressed. The detail area map of demolition site is shown in Fig-3.3. The demolition work will be done fully by mechanical means and shall be confined within limited times during school holidays in day period. The Environmental Management Unit (EMU) of EGCB Ltd., will monitor over all environmental management and occupational health and safety issues during implementation of the demolition work. EGCB will notify concern authority regarding demolition schedule before initiation of the demolition work. The demolition work will create dust and noise pollution in the surrounding area. Therefore, there will be regular water spray to minimize dust particle, the debris will be covered with polythene sheet temporarily before disposal for reuse or land filling. In addition, all workers shall use musk during working time to avoid inhalation of dust particles.

3.4.4. Construction of Drainage for Domestic and Industrial Wastewater:

Separate drainage systems will be provided for storm-water run off, domestic sewage, oily wastes, and chemically contaminated discharges during construction and operation of the project. The Right of Way (ROW) for the above noted construction is vacant and there is no occupant or makeshift hut and therefore, there will be no relocation due to the above noted drainage construction work. 3.4.5. Temporary camp and water Supply facility:

Water for cooling process, drinking, sanitary facilities, and showers will be sourced from the existing water system at the designated terminal point. EPC contractor shall install a properly maintained water filtration system which will be used to provide high quality camp/field


13

office/guard shade water free from contaminants (eg. heavy metals, coliforms). Camp water will be periodically tested during the construction program. Water for emergency/fire fighting; these will be located at the project site, in addition to that, water from the adjacent Rivers out side Siddhirganj Power Plant area boundary will also be available for fire fighting during construction.

The construction of water well will be in the designated place which is currently vacant. In addition to that the temporary camp will be either out side or in the vacant land within Sddhirganj power plant complex. Therefore, there will be no relocation due to above noted construction works.

3.4.6. Excavation of land and foundation work:

The Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project site is a medium high land area and is located at the north-west corner within boundary wall of Siddhirganj Power Plant campus, Narayanganj. This land is currently used as a fallow (Fig-3.4). There is no occupant of any kind of settlements of temporary or permanent either legally or illegally in any part of the project site. There are many labours currently staying in some makeshift hut in the Siddhirganj power plant complex but no such make shift hut is currently found within prposed 450 MW CCPP project site. Therefore, there will be no need of any kind of relocation or resettlement in the project site due to soil excavation or land preparation of the proposed 450 MW CCPP project site. During excavation work if any cultural property is found, that will be considered as GOB’s state property. Therefore, during excavation work, the EPC contractor shall follow GOB regulation and WB guidelines OP 4.20-Cultural property. The details are described in the Chapter-2 and Chapter-8 of the EIA document..

The installations of the in site facility of the proposed project which will be constructed close to the School are described blow.

Water Treatment Plant and Effluent Treatment Plant

From feasibility study of proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP, it has been identified that the water treatment plant (WTP) and effluent treatment plant (ETP) of the proposed power plant will be located close to the school wall but not occupy any part of the school campus. Therefore, no relocation of the school will be necessary. However, as the school campus will be close to the WTP and ETP of the proposed plant, the EPC contractor shall take appropriate measure to protect noise and odour including improperly treated or untreated effluent discharges from ETP (if accidentally occurred) following GOB and WB guidelines (WB Environmental, Health and Safety Thermal Power Plant guidelines-2008 and also Environmental, Health and Safety General guidelines-2007). These are mentioned in Chapter 6-Impact and Mitigation and also in Chapter-7-conclusions and recommendations.

CHAPTER-4: BASELINE SOCIAL CONDITION

4.1. Baseline social survey in project site: The detail social baseline survey has been carried out as part of the SIA. The primary objectives of this baseline surveys are to gather information on the existing physical social condition in and around the project site within the power plant complex. 4.1.1. Social condition of the Project impact area (5km around the project site) The project site is located in the Siddhirganj Pourashava within Narayan ganj district under Dhaka Division. The Narayanganj district is divided in to five thanas. These are Bandar, Narayanganj sadar, Sonargaon, Rupganj and Demra under Narayanganj district. The project area is an industrial site in the eastern outskirt of the Dhaka city. The Siddhirganj is a semi-urban area where most of the population is engaged in industrial and commercial activities. The area is economically very active. The project area is mostly consists of people of middle and lower middle class. Total household and population of project impact area for 2009 (based on the BBS-2001 and projected to 2009) is 522429 and 2306890 with average household size 4.4, which is lower than the national average of 5.4. The total land area of Narayanganj district is about 759.57 km2. 4.1.2. Social baseline within Siddhirganj power plant complex The Siddhirganj power plant complex is an enclave of about 88 acres of land which is totally surrounded by wall and owned by the Bangladesh Power Development (BPDB) under MPEMR, GOB. The entire complex area is constructed in a planned way and distributed with plant area, residential area, mosque, community market, school, hospital etc. The employees of the power plant complex are mainly residing within the power plant complex in their residential quarters. They are using all the civil facilities of the complex such as students are studying in the school, all residents and including out siders are praying in the mosque, residents are taking medical facilities from the hospital, procuring daily requirements including groceries from the market, students are playing in the school field etc. The proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW PP will be constructed on the north side of the power plant complex which is extended near the Siddhirganj power plant complex school. From the Feasibility report it has been found that the main equipment of the power plant facilities will be distributed on the north side of the proposed project site. The WTP will be located close to the school boundary wall, but it will not occupy any part of the school ear marked property. The detail description of residential area within power plant complex is given in Table-4.1.

5.2 Individual Interviews with Key Informants within power plant complex

Information was collected from different key informants in which in depth interviews (IDI) were

taken regarding the impacts of existing power plants and possible effects of the proposed

Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP project. Within the study area, 08 key informants were interviewed

who expressed their views and opinions on different aspects, with particular focus on their

5.3. Findings from FGD and key informants interview The key findings of the public consultation are as follows:

5.3.1 Baseline Situation

Project site

The project area is reported to be the area, where the proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP is

scheduled to be constructed.

There is no accommodation of any staff or persons or any un-authorized or authorized

occupants in the old store or nearby premises of the old store which is planned to be

demolished for proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP power plant area and therefore, no

relocation issues will be necessary to be addressed.

Noise pollution at proposed project area is not reported to be higher with comparison to

the residential areas of this power plant complex.


21

Within the residential area there is a small medical center for the immediate services of

the residents of the power plant complex

Drainage system within power plant complex and project area is fair.

All residents of within this power plant area are officers and workers of this power plant

complex.

The social condition within this power plant area is reported to be healthier with

comparison to the impact zone.

Project impact area The local resident expected that some of them will be employed in accordance

with their ability. The construction labour should employed from local area. During construction and operation there will be more business opportunity and

economic activities will be increased. The residents are affected due frequent power failure, they expect that after

construction of power plant there will be uninterrupted power supply in their locality.

5.3.2. Possible Impacts and responses based on consultation within power plant complex There will be no relocation of settlement or any kind of institution due to construction of

proposed Siddhirganj 450 MW CCPP at Siddhirganj power plant complex.

The WTP by the side of the School should be managed in such a way that it will not

make any kind disturbances, negative impact to the health and mind of the student and

waiting guardians.

In any case there should not be allowed to occupy any school land or property, which

may cause negative impacts on the education of the school children.

Careful consideration need to given to minimize the sound and odour problem from the

adjacent WTP and ETP for proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP.

There will be no impact on river and other aquatic bodies as there will be no thermal

discharge in to the river water as there will be a provision of cooling tower in place.

The power plant will not release any untreated solid/liquid waste in to the river/canal at the study area.

Extra bit of traffic will be increased during construction and after wards, therefore there

should be proper traffic management, vehicle pollution control following the WB

Environmental, Health and safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plant-2008.

Load shedding will be reduced proportionately and there should be interrupted power

supply in the national grid.

The project will bring benefit to the national economy. The people of the project area have recommended for installing a plant of good quality,

which will be able to provide uninterrupted power supply and will be able to keep good

air quality and noise pollution of the project study area within DoE’s specific guidelines

and WB Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plant-2008.

27

CHAPTER-7: CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1. Mitigation measures suggested by participants

Project site

Demolition work will not affect the local residents, because there will be used proper

mitigation measures to control generated dusts, noise and environmental hazards by

following the DoE guidelines including WB’s Environmental, Health and Safety

Guidelines for Thermal Power Plant-2008. Health and Safety General Guidelines 2007

will be used for protection of demolition workers.

The required toilets for workers will have septic tank/ soak pit facilities therefore there

will be no sewage discharges out side the project site.

The existing power plant workers will not be sharing any civic facilities with demolition

and construction, operation maintenance workers.

There should be taken proper care during demolition work to avoid any disturbance to

the educational activities, movement within and adjacent to the school compound, local

residents including women residing within power plant complex.

Due to establishment of new power plant there should have provision of further

expansion of new housing and amusement facilities including club.

Gender issues should be taken care and should have equal opportunity of jobs during

construction, operation and maintenance of the proposed project.

7.2. Conclusions and Recommendations The old unused store house of PGCB which will be demolished during project site preparation is

not occupied by any resident or any person. A boundary wall belonging to DPDC will also be

demolished. Therefore, there will be no relocation and resettlement issues.

The EGCB Ltd., will ensure that EPC contractor follows International maintenance and product

vendor recommended practices and maintenance guidelines including WB Environmental,

Health and Safety Guidelines for Thermal Power Plant-2008, Health and safety guidelines for

Thermal Power Plant (2008) and other GOB guidelines including relevant International

guidelines to minimize noise, odour, air pollution and waste discharge within GOB/WB limits

and protect surrounding environment including ground water.

During over hauling of cooling tower and boiler blow down, the waste water will be treated in

the ETP of the power plant and discharge in to the river through discharge channel complying

industrial (power plant) waste water discharge guidelines of GOB and WB. It may be suggested

that Electric contaminant removal (ECR) technology may be used instead of chemical treatment

technology in the WTP and ETP of proposed power plant after consultation with EGCB Ltd., as


28

ECR technology is cost effective and produce low sludge compared to chemical treatment

technology.

The residents of power plant complex are aware about the proposed Siddhirganj 450MW CCPP

project. The respondent express their concern to maintain the WB safeguard polices to protect

the student of school, residents, woman and children; they also suggested to confined the

construction work during day time.

Out side the power plant complex the respondents welcomed the proposed project of Siddhirganj

450MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project at Siddhirganj. However, they recommended

installing a good quality plant, which will be able to provide uninterrupted power supply and

will be able to keep project and impact area free of air and noise pollution and the authority will

follow the DoE’s specific guidelines and Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines for

Thermal Power Plant-2008 and WB safeguard policies in this regard. They also recommended

for few social activities as for example community center for special occasion, higher

educational institute like intermediate/ degree college at this locality. They recommended to

employ the local people at this power plant according their ability. The participant also

recommended for uninterrupted power supply at their locality.

ANNEX-I-TOR OF ESIA

Terms of Reference Environmental and Social Assessment of the World Bank Financed 450MW

Combined Cycle Power Plant at Siddhirganj

1. Background Under the Sidhirganj Peaking Power project, an open cycle gas turbine unit of about 300 (2 X 150) MW was planned to set-up at Sidhirganj. During the project preparation, a full scale environment assessment for this open cycle gas turbine power plant was carried out. This power plant was designed to operate only during the peak demand of the day. However, in view of the severe generation shortfall now gripping Bangladesh, the Government has requested to expand the power station to a combined cycle unit of about 450 MW. The combined cycle design would provide 50% more power output per unit of natural gas input. Due to alteration of project nature few components would be added in this project, namely; cooling tower, water treatment plant, produced solid and liquid wastes, relocation/dismantling of few establishment including school & transformer store under that circumstances the proper environmental impact assessment and mitigation is necessary to meet the Environmental management and mitigation obligation of both World Bank and Department of Environment (DoE), Bangladesh. Also a social impact assessment and related relocation plan is necessary. 2. Project location Siddhirganj power complex is located within Siddhirganj Thana under Narayanganj district and just outside the metro Dhaka area, which is known as an Industrial area. The site for the power plant is located within 88 acre property owned by the BPDB currently managed by EGCB Ltd. Within that premises the proposed WB Financed 450MW combined cycle project will require about 12.25 acres of land with minor relocation. This power plant complex is having the following existing establishment in place; (a) housing complex for almost 3000 people, mosque, school, health center, 210 MW Steam Turbine (ST), 2×120MW Peaking power plant, 100MW rental power plant which is under construction, two 132 KV Sub-stations, RMS of Titas gas, shops, and most other common facilities that can be expected in a small township. The distance between the WB funded sites to ADB funded sites is about 800 meters, likewise the WB funded site to 210MW ST is about 600 meters. On the east side across the river and within 2-3 km radius, there are three more gas fired power plants (Pendakar 360 MW, PDB 99 MW GTs going up to 360MW combined cycle power plant which is also under progress and due to be constructed soon by the JICA’s financial assistance, the NEPC barge mounted 1 x 110 MW is adjacent to the JICA funded project. Beyond the southern boundary of the EGCB Ltd. Adamjee Export Processing Zone and on the other side at northern side of boundary there is a steel re-rolling mill, and


iii

then a couple of brick kilns. There are numerous other industries around in the Siddhirganj area. Along the immediate west of the power plant complex the Demra-Narayanganj road is place. The whole Siddhirganj area is quite densely populated like any other peri-urban area around Dhaka. The Sitalakha river immediately to the east of the property is used as a major waterway. It is also the main source of water for all the industrial activity in the Siddhirganj area, including the proposed 450MW combined cycle power plants. The initial estimated land requirement for the open cycle power plant was 6 acres and estimated land for the combined cycle power plant is 12 acres. EGCB can accommodate this within the BPDB compound, but will have to shift and demolish a number of existing structures to do so. This will result in the displacement of approximately 21 families (EGCB/PGCB employees) for whom EGCB has already planned alternative accommodation. A number of structures belonging to other public agencies such as PGCB, DPDC will need to be demolished and shifted at pre-identified sites within the Siddhirganj compound. A Secondary School belonging to the Power Development Board, where 1,109 students are currently enrolled from grades 1-10 will need to demolished and be relocated, as will a housing facility for the guards and two Labor Union Offices and other sheds. EGCB has planned alternative locations for these facilities. There are two storage buildings, a number of tin sheds and other temporary structures which will need to be cleared. 3. Assignment Objective The overall objective of this assignment is to carry out an environmental assessment of the 450 MW combined cycle power plant to be constructed at Sidhirganj based on the existing environmental assessment report carried out for 300 MW open cycle power plant during 2006-2007 and continuous environmental monitoring data of other power plant located in campus. The assessment will include the environmental assessment of the dismantling of the existing infrastructure in proposed sites and site development. It may be noted that during the earlier Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the same project, the World Bank operational policy (OP) 4.01 and the relevant regulatory requirements of the GoB were followed as this project is classified as Category-A of OP 4.01 and red category under DoE’s guideline. The classification of the project will remain same and all detailed information will be required for this new combined cycle power plant. Since the previous design of the project did not trigger any social issues for this component, no Social Impact Assessment was undertaken at that time. However, this is now necessary due to the demolition and shifting of structures and the relocation of families/other people. 4. Scope of Work Given the existing and proposed development in the area, significant information about the environmental status of the area is already available. The full scale EIA has been undertaken in the recent past for the same project area for previously designed 2×150MW peaking power plant project. The assessment will use all the relevant information from the earlier assessment. However, updating of all information will be


iv

mandatory for this assessment. In addition, the assessment will have to address and include the additional features/components added in this project namely; cooling tower water intake and discharge channel, water treatment plant, boiler blow down water treatment provision, solid and liquid waste management to meet the guideline of WB pollution and prevention abatement hand book and the guideline of DoE. The brief scope of work of the assignment:

i) Update the baseline information of the previous EIA report using the continuous monitoring data and carrying out additional investigation (for example, the water flow and water quality of the adjacent river will have to be carried out);

ii) Carry out critical comparative analysis between the open cycle power plant and combined cycle power plant and identify the additional component and requirements for the combined cycle power plant;

iii) Assess the environmental impacts of the additional components of the combined cycle power plant (in comparison to open cycle power plant) and overall impacts of the combined cycle power plant;

iv) Carryout a commutative environment assessment of the sites considering a number of power plants and industries in the areas;

v) Prepare a standalone environment management plan (EMP)1 for the combined cycle power plant;

vi) Assess the environmental impact due to dismantling of the existing facilities, land development and construction of new building (compensation of existing buildings)2 and carryout separate EMP for these activities;

vii) Identify the technical and institutional capacity needs to implement the environmental mitigation and monitoring measures;

viii) Carryout consultation with local community, NGOs and other stakeholders and guide the client on the disclosure requirement of the World Bank

ix) Prepare a combined EIA report following the World Bank standard guidelines; and

x) Advise the EGCB on the DoE’s requirements and approval process. Scope of work for the SIA/SMP

Develop a detailed lay-out plan clearly identifying all affected structures (temporary and permanent) on the proposed project site and at the proposed replacement sites (including square footage).

Identification of Impacts: Since all affected entities are public and all impacts will be constrained within the PDB compound, a brief assessment should be conducted to identify all affected structures and impacts from the demolition/shifting activities, and other social impacts arising from this project component.

Consultation Strategy: Adequate consultation must be demonstrated with the owners of the affected structures and agreements with them for the demolition and shifting of structures belonging to them must be recorded. Appropriate

1 The EMP will have both the mitigation and monitoring plan 2 An alternative analysis of the proposed locations should be carried out


v

consultation must be documented with people who will be directly affected by the demolition of the school, dormitory and residential buildings. People who will be affected by noise, pollution and general disturbance associated with demolition and construction work will also have to be part of a wider consultation.

Social Management Plan: A management plan will be required to lay out actionable mitigation measures associated with the impacts of the project; for example:

o Compiling a list of all affected people and entities, and an inventory of impacts (for example, people may miss a few days of work due to shifting etc.)

o shifting the school in a manner that leads to the least disruption to the student’s school year,

o Laying out a process to ensure that EGCB bears all costs associated with the shifting of the school and families, (a compensation mechanism may be put in place). All compensation must be at market rates/replacement value,

o maintaining safety standards during construction and demolition, o management of noise and pollution, o traffic management, if required , o spelling out the institutional arrangements for all the activities

involving shifting the school and families, procurement of agreements with all entities involved for the demolition/shifting, etc

o An M&E mechanism o A grievance redress mechanism (simplified) o Budget and Timeline for Implementation of the SMP

4. Structure of EIA Report EIA report will be concise and limited to significant environmental issues. The main text should focus on findings, conclusions and recommended actions, supported by summaries of the data collected and citations for any references used in interpreting those data. Detailed or uninterrupted data are not appropriate in the main text and should be presented in appendices or a separate volume. Unpublished documents used in the assessment may not be readily available and should also be assembled in an appendix. Organize the environmental assessment report according to the outline below:

5. Duration Considering the highest priority of the government to fast track the project, the environment and social assessment will be carried out in very short duration. The consultant(s) will have to submit the draft ESIA report for review within 30 days of starting the assignment. The final report will have to be submitted within 45 days incorporating all the comments and suggestions of ECGB and the World Bank. 6. Reporting The consultant(s) will report to EGCB’s Environment Management Specialist (Manager Environment). They should work together extensively to complete the whole addendum document to meet the deadline in reality. 7. Qualifications of Consultants The consultant/s should have 8-10 years experience in undertaking EIA and SIA for power generation projects. The consultant/s, if necessary, can draw supports of other consultants/skills. Experience in ambient environmental monitoring, modeling, and analysis is also mandatory.

Issues and concerns raised (project related): Air pollution may occur if new project implemented without proper mitigation measures There will be no adverse impact on nearby river, canal and crops, vegetation and soil Local traffic movement may be hampered during construction phase, so alternate route can be

suggested. Alternate service road is advised to be constructed and used for power plant. Residential facility of the power plant employee should be increased and improved. There should provision for subsidised gas, water supply and health service for the employee of the

power plant. Capacity of students may be increased for the power plant residents and for local residents residing

outside of the power plant complex. Safety and security will not be affected by the proposed project activities. New project will definitely increase the employment opportunity. Authority should take the responsibility of the safety aspects including using personal protective

equipment. Industrial activity will be benefited as successful implementation of the proposed project will add

more power in the national power grid. Issues and concerns raised (existing environment related): River depth is gradually lowering because of unplanned industrial invasion around the impact area

outside the project site, the government should take care to restore flow of adjacent river as national wealth.


v

Air temperature within power plant complex is higher than the adjacent villages. Noise level reaches higher than the standard level at some specific location inside the power plant Health services are not up to the standard at this locality, but minor pathological tests may be

introduced in the local medical center within the power plant complex. Water supply is adequate and quality of the drinking water is good. Waste management system is systematic and dustbin is used inside the power plant. There is no separate storm water drainage system inside the power plant. The old residential houses often submerge during excessive rainfall. Comments of the Interviewer: People said that existing Russian power plant is generating power and connected in the national grid system. Gradually the power plant complex area is being congested with many establishments like one rental power plant has been built inside this power plant. The respondents opined that, the existing school within power complex need to be upgraded to a intermediate college facility. They also recommended for establishment of one auditorium hall at school premises for all type of educational and social activities for school children and residents of this power plant complex. The WTP and ETP are expected to be set adjacent to the school boundary wall so, the teachers, guardian, students expressed their concern about the noise and odour expected to be generated. Under this circumstances, proper attention need to be given, the WB safeguard policies, DoE emission and noise standard should be strictly followed by the contractors and EGCB Ltd. subsequently.

Issues and concerns raised (project related): Workers in the power plant may be affected by the excessive exposure of the intolerable noise if

proper PPE were not used. New project will engage more manpower from the locality. River and canal water will not be affected. Fish resource may adversely affect if hot water discharged from the proposed power plant.


vi

There will be no negative impact on the crops, soil, terrestrial flora and domestic animal due to the proposed project activities.

Job opportunity will be increased if the new power plant operates as a limited company. Traffic and pedestrian movement outside the existing power plant complex will be hampered if

vehicle used for construction is not properly managed. During the construction stage noise pollution will occur to some extent. Existing WB safe guard policies and GoB’s industrial rules should be followed during construction

and operation stage. Issues and concerns raised (existing environment related): Sedimentation at river ways will not be expected during construction and operation of this project. Air temperature inside the plant complex is higher than the outside, temperature seems good at our

locality. Harmful noise may be produced if proper attentions are not taken during construction and operation

activities. Fishes in the Shitalakhaya River is rarely available now a days, because of gradual invasion of

unplanned industries at this locality around impact area. Transport service in the area is not good as condition of the bus, truck, utility vehicles are very poor Quality of education is good but people feel the absence of university in Narayanganj district Solid waste management system is up to the standard inside the power plant complex but outside the

complex area waste management is not up to the mark. Residents usually affected due to excessive rainfall, because of not proper drainage system around the

impact area. The project authority can help the local residents to repair the adjacent road for the local residents

outside the power plant complex. Comments of the Interviewer: Student capacity of the school within power plant complex should be increased to accommodate more local students as the school inside power plant complex is having good reputation. They also expect more employment from the local villages for this project.
