ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN: MONITORING AND INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: ROAD SECTION (km 63-162) TABLE 7.1: PROJECT IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION, MITIGATION MEASURES, MONITORING AND RESPONSIBILITY CATEGORY POTENTIAL IMPACT SIGNIFICANCE LOCAL IMPACTS MITIGATION RESPONSIBILITY MONITORING LONG TERM IMPACT 1.Air quality Air pollution: emissions from construction machinery and equipment, emissions from cement-concrete, asphalt-concrete plants, crushers, etc. Dust: from construction activity borrow pits and crushers transportation of materials Potentially significant, especially during dry season Generally, in the main area of construction, the existing roads or bypass roads; Potential impact on adjacent Akshatau village Local impacts on sites in Almaty and Zhambyl oblasts is not predicted All vehicles and the equipment used in construction have to be modern, be appropriately maintained and used according to recommendations of manufacturers. All access and bypass roads have to be watered. All plants/dust-generating equipment should be in good repair and be located at distance from all sensitive zones. The contractor shall bear the responsibility for implementation of mitigation measures. Supervision Engineer monitors the compliance with mitigation plan. Regular (monthly) monitoring by licensed laboratories at designated sampling points and on-site compliance checks by Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC), Engineer and environmental protection authorities. The sampling points will be defined by the Project monitoring programs, which will be developed by individual contractors and are required by the law. Parameters to be monitored follow the EHS Guidelines including: nitrogen oxides, inorganic dust, sulfur carbon, PM10, PM2.5 and carbon monoxide. Meteorological parameters during sampling include air temperature, emission rate, atmospheric Contractors Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC)/Engineer Long term impact is limited
Inconvenience for farmers (cattle crossing the road) Loss of trade along the road Potential impacts on farmers (animal husbandry) Consideration with local population on additional cattle crossings as required (October 2014) Compensation for loss of income should be paid or other appropriate mechanisms will be put in place according to the legislation of Kazakhstan and RAP Committee for Roadswill monitor the compensation payment to the affected persons. 7. Historical and archeological monuments 75 Objects of historical and cultural heritage were revealed within right-of-way, including: -24 objects are archaeological sites; - 2 objects are monuments of public art; - 8 objects are modern cemeteries; -51 objects are modern memorials. Potential impacts on burial grounds along the road Potential indirect impacts on archaeological sites if such are identified During road reconstruction it is required to comply with the requirement for protection area of not less than 50 m from the borders of the objects; archaeological sites shall be fenced for protection purposes. Memorial place marks will be relocated in coordination with local authorities. Other historical places outside the Right of Way, but within 2 km from the route have to be protected from plunder and destruction. Contractors observe the appropriate procedures in case of findings. According to the state procedures, works will be immediately stopped, for studying, record and excavation. Ensure safety of cultural resources by observing conservation zones of 50 m from the borders of the respective objects The contractor will be responsible for fencing of the archaeological monuments, burial grounds and for relocation of memorial monuments In case of finds of additional discovery, the Contractor should immediately inform the Department of Cultural Heritage and Art of the Ministry of Culture and Sport on any found artifacts or remains, and stop all construction works and notify the authorities on cultural heritage. Protection of other monuments is responsibility of institutions on protection of cultural and archaeological heritage (i.e. Ministry of Culture and Sport) Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC)/Engineer, local authorities and authorized representatives of the Department of Cultural Heritage and Art of the Ministry of Culture and Sport will check compliance with this plan and procedures in case of finds discovery.
