Development health and safety plan (construction companies) After signing the contract by company Training Training of ESMF implementing actors in environmental and social assessment 1st quarter First project year Follow-up Action Project Environmental Monitoring monitoring During the implementation of the GAMA Supervision Every month ESMP Evaluation At mid-term End of GAMA The budget needed for ESMP / GAMA environmental and social management is the recapitulation of the following: Institutional development activities Training program, awareness Allowances for the preparation / implementation of sub-projects EIA / EMP/RAPs. (The costs of implementing such plans measures are included in the budgets of sub-projects.) Annual assessments. The costs of environmental measures as well as training and awareness are summarized in tables 8.13, 8.14 and 8.15 below. Under the GAMA Category A and B project will require the preparation of of EIAs.

Table 817: Environmental and Social Management Plan Potential Impact Mitigation Measures Implementation Schedule Monitoring Indicators Monitoring Responsibility Cost (US$) Implementation Soil Possible increase in soil erosion as a result of the construction activities (clearing of vegetation and soil excavation) Loss of productive topsoil resulting from soil excavation Soil contamination resulting from the release of chemicals (lubricant, fuel, paint) from the equipments Re-vegetate the construction site by planting rapidly growing vegetation/plants Use excavated soil for construction work Ensure immediate clean up of the area by removing the contaminated topsoil and disposing properly in a designated place During and after the construction activities During construction During construction Erosion Soil Monitor erosion occurrence within and around the construction site Ensure that all the excavated soil are used for construction Monitor and document the contaminated soil disposal procedure consultant MMPCUs Weekly $ Water Run-off erosion may occur from unprotected excavated areas during heavy rain resulting to sedimentation of nearby Attend to any excavation area as quick as possible or create an embankment to avoid run off During excavation activities Sediments Sediments Monitor BOD, Nitrate, pH, Heavy metals of the nearby water bodies before the construction and thereafter weekly during the consultant Works Department of MMPCUs Weekly $
Run-off erosion may occur from heaps of excavated soils during heavy rain resulting to sedimentation of nearby Potential water pollution through run off of hazardous construction waste (lubricants, paint) Create barrier for appropriate containment measures Proper disposal of construction waste During construction During construction Heavy metals construction activities Air Particulate matters emission from excavation and construction activities Potential emission of pollutants from the construction machineries (NOx, SOx, CO, THC) Spray water periodically to control dust Limit the vehicles allowed into the site and use efficient machineries During excavation and construction activities During construction activities PM NOx, SOx, THC and CO Monitor PM, NOx, SOx, THC and CO in the surrounding air before the construction and thereafter hourly during the construction consultant MMPCUs Weekly $
vegetation Noise Noise resulting from the construction works Equipment (e.g. cement-sand mixer machine) to be placed as far as possible from the sensitive area/ human settlement Construction should not be done during peak work hours Construction staff to wear ear muffs During construction activities Noise Monitor staff compliance to the use of ear muffs/plugs consultant MMPCUs Daily $ Ecosystem Destruction of vegetation, loss of habitat and biodiversity Possible loss of endangered and rare specie Change in land use and disturbance of ecosystem Re-vegetate the construction site by planting rapidly growing vegetation/plants During and after construction Vegetation Monitor the process consultant Works Department of MMPCUs Monthly $
Social Possible loss of access to assets or resource. Provide alternative route for access to resource. Before construction begins Complaints from the affected people Document relocation procedures Monitor the road traffic before and during construction activities consultant MMPCUs Soil Contamination of soil as a result of waste (reagent, solid waste) disposal Pre-treat waste before disposal (through neutralization, thermal pretreatment, oxidation, etc) Before disposal pH, BOD,COD, Nitrate etc on the type of chemical waste generated) Monitor the surrounding soil pH, BOD,COD, Nitrate etc (based on the type of chemical waste generated). Monitoring to be before construction and monthly during the construction consultant Monthly $350 Water Depletion of water resources Contamination of surrounding water bodies through Reuse and recycle water, also minimize water usage Install water flow meter During operation Before waste water disposal Increase in water utility payment. Increase in water flow meter reading Monitoring the flow meter Monitor the surrounding water bodies pH, Monthly $300
