1.0 Introduction

Package 1:

The Southern Province demonstrates visibly the Sri Lankan government’s efforts to develop regional economies.

The new port and new airport in Hambantota offer significant opportunities in diverse business areas, including

cargo and shipping, tourism and the service sector. No major power plant developments have been identified

in Southern Province until year 2024 and therefore it finds difficulty to provide quality and reliable power supply

from existing 132kV network. Further, when the Samanalaweva power station is not in operation, the system

reliability in southern province area is not guaranteed under contingency situation.

To mitigate above issue Long Term Transmission Development Plan 2013-2022 has identified 220kV

transmission connection to Hambantota from New Polpitiya. This will operate as a transmission high way to

flow hydro power generated at Mahaweli complex and Laxapana complex to southern load center and hence

facilitate to provide quality and reliable power supply to Southern Province. Construction of New Polpitiya-

Hambantota 220kV transmission line and Hambantota 220/132kV Grid Substation and Augmentation of 132/33

kV Hambantota Grid Substation are a part of this development.

According to the year 2017 transmission network, over loading of Pannipitiya-Panadura 132kV transmission line

and severe voltage drops at Embilipitiya, Hambantota, Matara, Beliatta, Galle, Deniyaya grid substations can be

observed without the proposed New Polpitiya-Hambantota 220kV transmission line. So, the proposed line is at

the highest priority to improve the reliability and voltage profile of the Southern network.

Further, the environmental classification for this Component is environment Category B and does not require

an EIA.

The impacts identified and mitigation measures suggested under the IEE were summarized into an

Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Reporting period for this report is from January 01, 2020 to June 30,

2020.

Package 2A & Package 2B1:

In the efforts to harness renewable energy in the country, wind has been identified as a source of significant

potential to generate electricity. Studies carried out by both local and international experts envisaged that

375 MW of wind capacity with 35~45% plant factor could easily be developed in the Mannar island.

Accordingly, CEB has planned to set up a 220/33kV GSS at Nadukuda in the Mannar island and a 220kV

transmission line from Nadukuda to Mannar in order to evacuate the wind power generation in the Mannar

island under the Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Program (Tranche II) which is

funded by ADB.

Under this project component, it is proposed; (1) to construct 220/33kV Grid Substation (GSS) at Nadukuda in

Mannar island and the augmentation of Mannar GSS. This GSS will able to absorb entire 375 MW of wind power

at this stage only 2 X 63MVA capacity transformers will be installed with the provision to install further 4 X

63MVA transformers in the future. (2) to construct a 30km of 220kV transmission line from Nadukuda GSS to

the Mannar GSS. The Nadukuda GSS will interconnect the clusters of wind plants at 33kV level and transmit the

power & energy to Mannar Grid Substation via the 30km long 220kV transmission Line. Further approximately

8km of this line travels through the Vankalai Sanctuary.

Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Program (Tranche II) has been

launched with a focus to develop transmission and distribution projects for evacuation of renewable energy

(wind) parks/ projects and overall improvement of energy efficiency and capacity development.

Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Program is intended to finance a

series of investments in Sri Lanka. It includes generation capacity enhancement, transmission capacity addition

Page 8: Sri Lanka: Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency ......Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which has been implemented during civil works. As per the safeguards reporting requirements

and distribution system strengthening installation energy efficiency measures. The Investment Program will

also finance several “softer” activities, including operational capacity building and implementation supervision.

The objective of the investment is to achieve increased adequacy and efficiency of power system, including

renewable energy in Sri Lanka.

Further, the environmental classification for this Component is environment Category A and an EIA has been

done. The impacts identified and mitigation measures suggested under the EIA were summarized into an

Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which has been implemented during civil works.

As per the safeguards reporting requirements for the program a quarterly monitoring reports needs to be

submitted for package 2 lots B1 and A. This environmental monitoring report covers the period between April

01, 2020 and June 30, 2020 which is the second quarter of year 2020.

Construction inside Vankalai Sanctuary

CEB has completed the approximately 8km of the Transmission Line construction activities inside the Vankalai

Sanctuary based on the Construction Method Statement (CMS). This CMS outlines the design and details the

proposed construction methods to be employed by the Engineering Procurement and Construction contractor

whilst carrying out all works associated with construction of the 220KV transmission line through Vankalai

Sanctuary/Ramsar Site to ensure minimal adverse impact on the site.

In accordance with the EIA [Table 31] works within Vankalai Sanctuary has been carried out only be as follows:

Period Construction works permitted

February-September Make foundations, Tower erection & Stringing

CEB carryout the construction works in between the hours of 0600h and 1800h (in accordance with Department

of Wildlife Conservation) and No vehicular access was allowed to most of the locations within Vankalai

Sanctuary. Materials were transport to site initially by road (A14), by rail.

This report is the construction progress report on Environmental Management and Monitoring (EMR) of

components (lots) of Package 3 as described in Table 1 for the reporting period from January to June 2020.

The report is prepared based on the construction and environmental related activities of each lot. Location

map of each lots are presented in Figure No 1 to Figure No 8.

1.1. Contractors’, Supervision Consultants’ and Clients’ role in environmental Safeguards

compliance

As indicated above CEB is the project implementing agency and the Project Co-ordination Cell (PCC) headed

by the Project Director has the overall responsibility in monitoring the implementation of EMP and EMoP

by each contractor.

Contractors are directly responsible in implementing the mitigation measures required to minimize the

adverse impacts during construction period. The SC shall direct the contractor to rectify any non-

compliance situation arising in construction sites.

Critical construction activities are monitored on a daily basis by SC and any non-compliance situations and

rectification measures/ instructions to contractor are recorded in Daily Progress Reports (DPRs), Engineers’

log books and monitoring checklists.

Monitoring of water quality and noise levels are done on a quarterly basis by the contractor, while

compliance indicators such as availability of Vehicle Emission Test (VET) certificates are monitored by the

SC at a lesser frequency. A public complaint register is also maintained by the contractors under the

supervision of SC. Any complaint received from public is attended by the contractor with instructions from

SC.

An Environmental Health and Safety specialist (ES) has been appointed by the SC on permanent basis, to

look into the environmental safeguards aspects of the overall project. A mechanism has been developed

to communicate between Team Leader, Deputy Team leaders and Resident Engineers of SC to assist them

in resolving any environmental issue arising in each substation. However the EHS Manager conducts site

visits at least once a month to record the level of compliance by the contractor and instructions are given

to improve on any noncompliance situation/s.

Staff of contractors related to environmental safeguard available during the reporting period is listed

below.

1. Safety Coordinator

2. Environmental Health and Safety Specialist

3. Resident Safety Engineer

Environmental Management and Monitoring Report – Medium Voltage Distribution

Sub Projects - Package 05, Primary Substations.

1. Introduction Government of Sri Lanka has decided to construct three medium voltage distribution sub stations to

meet the inadequate power supply in Ethul Kotte, Beligaha and Raththanapitiya under the Green

Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Programme. This project is going

to execute under the loan number 3484-SRI (SF) from Asian Development Bank.

Ministry of Power and Energy is the executing agency for the project, while Ceylon Electricity Board is

the project implementing agency.

The estimated costs of the Green Power Development & Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment

Programme (Tranche 2) - Package 5 are as follows.

This report is the construction progress report on Environmental Management and Monitoring (EMR)

of subprojects in Colombo and Galle districts. The report is prepared based on the initial stage of

construction and environmental related activities. Still we are progressing on survey part and soil

investigation part of the project. Location map of subprojects in Ethul Kotte, Beligaha and

Raththanpitiya are presented in figures 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 above.

The impacts identified and mitigation measures suggested under the sections “Screening of Potential

Impacts” and “Mitigation Measures” of each EA report (IEER) were summarized in to an Environmental

Management Plan (EMP). An Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) was also prepared for each

substation that includes information on environmental parameters to be monitored, Location, time

and frequency, cost for sampling and stage of subproject on which the monitoring should be

Page 79: Sri Lanka: Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency ......Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which has been implemented during civil works. As per the safeguards reporting requirements

conducted. The EMoP is considered to be a useful tool to monitor the implementation of mitigation

measures and EMP.

1.1. Contractors’, Supervision Consultants’ and Clients’ role in environmental

Safeguards compliance

As indicated above CEB is the project implementing agency and the Project Co-ordination Cell (PCC)

headed by the Project Director has the overall responsibility in monitoring the implementation of EMP

and EMoP by each contractor.

Contractor is directly responsible in implementing the mitigation measures required to minimize the

adverse impacts during construction period. The subcontractor shall direct the contractor to rectify

any non-compliance situation arising in construction sites. Siemens Ltd India in consortium with DIMO

pvt Ltd Sri Lanka is the Contractor for all three substations.

Presently we are on progressing of survey part and soil investigations. After those process we will start

the critical construction work activities and it monitored on a daily basis by the Construction manager

and any non-compliance situations and rectification measures/ instructions to contractor are

recorded in Daily Progress Reports (DPRs), Engineers’ log books and monitoring checklists.

Monitoring of water quality and noise levels are done on a quarterly basis by the contractor, while

compliance indicators such as availability of Vehicle Emission Test (VET) certificates are monitored by

the SC at a lesser frequency. A public complaint register is also maintained by the contractor/s under

the supervision of SC. Any complaint received from public is attended by the contractor with

instructions from SC.

An Environmental Health and Safety specialist (ES) has been appointed by the SC on permanent basis,

to look into the environmental safeguards aspects of the overall project. A mechanism has been

developed to communicate between Team Leader, Deputy Team leaders and Resident Engineers of

SC to assist them in resolving any environmental issue arising in each substation. However the EHS

Manager conducts site visits at least once a month to record the level of compliance by the contractor

and instructions are given to improve on any noncompliance situation/s.

2.0 Monitoring of environmental parameters

2.1 Measuring of Rainfall

Monitoring of environmental parameters is to be done in all three substation projects. Contractors

will also keep daily weather records (Rainfall chart). According to rainfall chart, We can broad detail

of monthly total rainfall and the number of rainy days for each month. The monitoring locations are

Ethul Kotte, Beligaha and Raththanapitiya. Sample weather record is attached as Annexure 01.

Page 80: Sri Lanka: Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency ......Environmental Management Plan (EMP), which has been implemented during civil works. As per the safeguards reporting requirements

2.2 Measuring of Noise level

The sound level measurements to be carried out in accordance with the methods laid down in

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 1996 (part 1,2,3) and BS 4142: 1990 as stipulated

in National Environmental Noise Control Regulations.

The maximum permissible noise levels stipulated under Gazatte Extraordinary No. 924/12 of 23 May,

1996 under the National Environmental Act (NEA) at boundaries of construction sites are as follows;

• 75 dB (A) during day time • 50 dB(A) during night time, As per the above measurements, no location

has recorded noise levels above the stipulated noise levels of NEA, both during day time or night time.

Sample Noise level recording table is annexed as Annexure 02.

3. Construction activities during the period

Site Survey and Geological Survey

Mobilizing to sites or establishing labor camps were not done within the reporting period.

Only the Topographic survey & soil testing of Ethul Kotte site and Beligaha site were carried out.
