7. INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND MONITORING PROGRAMME

7.1 Introduction

In order to make sure that the proposed mitigatory measures are being implemented, and also to

check whether the predicted impacts are actually as anticipated, and are being mitigated by themeasures recommended in the Environmental Impact Assessment Report, it is necessary to

establish a Monitoring Program, and provide the necessary institutional set up to implement it.

This should be incorporated into the Proect Management !tructure itsel", rather than be

established as a completely separate unit, so that there is commitment to the environmental

management and monitoring by Proect Managers, who are responsible "or implementation o"

the Proect.

7.2 Institutional R!uir"nts

7.2.1 Pro#ct Mana$"nt Structur

The Proect Management !tructure proposed in the #orking $ra"t Environmental Management

Plan, Road $evelopment Authority %&an '(()* is shown in +ig .-. The Ministry o" ighways /

Road $evelopment Authority %R$A* is the E0ecuting Agency "or the ighway 1onstruction

Proect, while the Ministry o" Transport %M2T* is the E0ecuting Agency "or the Road !a"ety

1omponent %R!1* o" the Proect. There is a Proect $irector %P$* who is responsible "or the

implementation o" the Proect and will directly report to the !ecretary o" Ministry o" ighways.

There are two $eputy Proect $irectors %$P$* "or the Proect3 one responsible "or the

construction and civil works and another responsible "or land ac4uisition, resettlement and

environmental aspects o" the Proect. The !upervision 1onsultants %!1* are responsible "or the

supervision o" construction activities o" the highway. alcrow 5roup 6td. is the !1 "or the A$7

section and P1I "or the &7I1 section o" the Proect. +innroad in association with !urath

#ickramasinghe 6td is the M1 "or the proect. There are two site proect o""ices8 one "or the

&7I1 "inanced section and another "or the A$7 "inanced section.

As shown in +ig .-, the Monitoring o" Environmental and !ocial Impacts and implementation

o" special proects is the responsibility o" the Proect Managers operating "rom 9alutara 2""ice

"or the &7I1 section and 5alle 2""ice "or the A$7 section, being implemented by the Regional

2""icers at 7andaragama and $odangoda "or the &7I1 section and 9urundugahahetekma and

9amburupitiya "or the A$7 section respectively. At each Regional 2""ice there would be a

!ocial Impact Monitoring 2""icer, Environmental Impact Monitoring 2""icer, 7usiness

$evelopment 2""icer and 1ommunity Resettlement 2""icer, the latter two appointments to beterminated a"ter one year o" completion o" the 6and Ac4uisition and Resettlement activities.

to ensure that both M!# produced by the work"orce and construction generated wastes are

properly managed or that a proper plan to collect and sa"ely dispose the wastes is available. It isalso recommended that daily records are maintained pertaining to the amount o" solid waste

disposed.

Moreover the accommodation units given "or the work"orce should be thoroughly inspected to

ensure that ade4uate "acilities are available with re"erence to toilet and bathroom "acilities, solid

waste disposal systems and reliable potable water supply. #ith re"erence to proper collection

7. Monitorin$ Pro$ra""

It is imperative to conduct a comprehensive environmental monitoring programme by the R$A

with assistance "rom reputed and independent Research and $evelopment 2rgani?ations such as

Industrial Technology Institute %ITI* or >ational 7uilding and Research 2rgani?ation %>7R2*

with respect to the di""erent segments o" the environment in the vicinity o" the highway. This is

very crucial in order to assess the per"ormance or success o" the implemented mitigatory

measures. In this respect there are ' basic environmental monitoring tasks to assess the success

o" mitigation and identi"ying residual impacts. They are

1onstruction compliance monitoring

Post construction monitoring o" maintenance and operational proect activities including air,

noise and water 4uality baseline conditions

Pre@construction monitoring aspects such as sur"ace water 4uality, groundwater 4uality, air

4uality and noise levels seems to be not necessary in the R$A and combined trace in the A$7

section. This is because data on sur"ace water 4uality, ground water 4uality, air 4uality and noise

level measurements in the A$7 section have been undertaken by the ITI and the ;niversity o"Moratuwa as e0plained in 1hapter : %E0isting Environment and !ite $escription*.

owever in the case o" the 5alle Port Access Road section pre@construction monitoring has to be

undertaken to determine the baseline conditions in detail in addition to construction compliance

monitoring and monitoring during the operation o" the highway.

Although the ;niversity o" Moratuwa has carried out some water 4uality analysis o" the water

bodies '!# and =(!# in the 5alle Port Access Road !ection as e0plained in 1hapter :

%E0isting Environment and !ite $escription*, it is still imperative to carry out a detailed

monitoring o" e0isting sur"ace water 4uality with re"erence to the presence o" heavy metals and

organic pesticides at least twice a year during both dry and wet seasons. It should be noted thatthe actual positions o" measurements could be slightly di""erent and there"ore e""orts must be

made to measure downstream o" the road trace.

In the case o" groundwater 4uality monitoring wells that are likely to be in the vicinity o" the

construction sites and borrow areas have to be considered. The actual number o" wells "or

monitoring purposes could be decided by the R$A a"ter a "ield visit. Monitoring o" groundwater

4uality too should be monitored at least twice a year during both wet and dry bseasons.

#ith re"erence to air 4uality monitoring the monitoring locations should include any location

close to 5alle %$evata* and any new sensitive area identi"ied later. It should be noted that air

4uality measurements have to be undertaken twice a year during both south@west and north@eastmonsoon seasons. E0isting noise level measurements should be undertaken during the day time

In addition to water 4uality monitoring it is also imperative to undertake sampling and analysis

o" sediments "rom various locations in the water bodies o" the A$7 and 5alle Port Access Road

!ections at least once in < months particularly during the operational phase. This is important to

be carried out in order to avoid contamination o" sediments hence subse4uent adverse impacts

on biota especially benthic "auna due to post construction related activities %e.g. disposal o"

sewage and industrial wastewaters and ha?ardous industrial solid wastes such as slurries and

In addition to the monitoring o" water 4uality in sur"ace water bodies it is also imperative to

carry out monitoring o" groundwater 4uality to avoid deterioration arising due to construction

activities and post construction related activities such as development o" secondary activities

along the road traces. This task has to be carried out by the contractor and the R$A %as directed

by the 1EA* during the construction phase and operational phase, respectively with assistance

"rom ITI or >7R2. The monitoring "re4uency needs to be at least once in < months and the

monitoring period should include the dry and wet seasons. The monitoring locations should

include the wells near the construction site and borrow areas. In this respect all the wells

selected at the pre@construction phase should be selected as monitoring locations during the

construction phase. I" any construction activity a""ects the groundwater signi"icantly in a given

area, such locations must be monitored separately. $uring the operational phase wells that have

been identi"ied as having a high a""inity "or deterioration due to tra""ic should be selected "or

monitoring. I" any operation activity a""ects the groundwater signi"icantly in a given area, suchlocations must be monitored separately.

The parameters to be monitored needs to include the depth o" groundwater, p, electrical

stipulated by the #2/!6! -8 Part - C ' "or uman 1onsumption.

7...) Air Qualit' Monitorin$

Air 4uality monitoring has to be carried out by the contractor during the construction phase to

minimi?e air pollution, hence to ensure maintenance o" 1EA stipulated ambient air 4uality

standards %Ta=l >>*. !imilarly air 4uality monitoring has to be carried out by the R$A during

the operational phase in order to minimi?e air pollution "rom road usage activities. In this

respect assistance "rom ITI or >7R2 has to be obtained.

Monitoring o" air 4uality aspects has to be carried out every ' weeks and depending on

complaints "rom local people at relevant premises during the construction phase. $uring the

operational phase the monitoring "re4uency needs to be at least once in < months.

In the A$7 section the monitoring locations needs to include the locations A to -'A monitoredby the ITI in &une, '((=. In the 5alle Port Access Road !ection any location close to 5alle

%$evata* should be considered "or monitoring purposes. Also any new sensitive area identi"ied

should be monitored too during the construction and/or operational phase. I" any construction

activity a""ects an area signi"icantly, then a separate monitoring plan must be carried out at such

locations. !imilarly i" any operation activity a""ects an area signi"icantly, separate monitoring

plan must be carried out at the relevant locations.

It should be noted that during air 4uality monitoring the prevailing weather conditions such as

wind speed and direction, sunlight intensity, etc. should be taken into consideration. The

parameters to be monitored during both phases o" the proect should include >20, 12, !2',

ground level 2=, Pb, PM -(, !PM %!uspended Particulate Matter/dust* and Pb with re"erence to

1EA stipulated standards "or ambient air 4uality %Table 00*. The necessary air 4uality

parameters should be measured using the standard approved tests given in Table 00. The values

e0pressed should be at least hour and ': averages where necessary during the construction

phase and at least - hour and ': hour averages during the operational phase.

In addition to air 4uality monitoring regular monitoring o" vehicular emissions would be o"

paramount importance during the operational phase in order to ensure that air pollution caused

by vehicles is low or insigni"icant. The parameters to be monitored should include >20, !2',12 and !PM with re"erence to emission standards. Also Pb levels have to be analy?ed in the

case o" petrol powered vehicles with re"erence to the emission standards. Monitoring o"

vehicular emissions too has to be carried out by R$A by making arrangements with ITI or

>7R2 and specially trained Police personnel as has been practiced in some developed

countries.

>oise level monitoring is essential to ensure that noise emissions arising during construction

works %due to activities such as trucks transporting construction material "rom 4uarry sites, pile

driving activities, blasting, etc.* and operational activities %due to e0pected increase in tra""ic"low* are minimal. !imilarly vibration levels should be intensely monitored during the

construction phase. The important parameters to be measured should include mean sound level

%6e4 %':**, day@night sound levels %6dn* %( d7a, day8 )) d7a night*, 6A, e4one hour at day

time, 6A e4, -) minutes at night time, peak particle velocity and air blast over pressure level

%A72P*.

>oise monitoring should be done by the contractor during the construction phase and by theR$A during the operational phase with the consultation and assistance "rom >7R2 or ITI. The

noise monitoring "re4uency needs to be at least once in ' months during both phases. owever

during the construction phase monitoring o" noise levels should also be carried out as and when

re4uired or depending on complaints "rom local people at their premises. Moreover

vibration/A72P levels too have to be regularly monitored depending on complaints "rom local

people at their premises and whenever blasting activities or any other vibration inducing

activities are likely to be carried. In this respect special attention should be paid to the

development o" cracks and crevices in nearby building structures with care"ul regular

monitoring. +urther it is recommended that daily records are maintained on the amount o"

e0plosive material used "or rock blasting. $uring rock blasting the vibration at a distance o" -((

m should also be measured and records should be maintained.

The noise monitoring locations needs to include all populated areas in the A$7 section and

5alle Port Access Road area and other identi"ied noise sensitive areas such as schools and

religious sites occurring in the A$7 section %i.e. noise sensitive areas located in the vicinity o"

the highway*. In the case o" the A$7 section the areas that were monitored by ITI in >ovember

'(('@+ebruary '((= %i.e. the locations > to -'>* should be considered as potential monitoring

locations during the construction and operational phase "or comparison purposes. In the 5alle

identi"ied should be considered as monitoring locations. +urther the rock blasting sites, crusher

plant sites, piling sites and sites where concrete and asphalt plants are located should be

considered as important monitoring locations during the construction phase. owever it should

be noted that i" any construction activity and/or operation activity causes signi"icant noise and

vibration, such locations must be monitored separately.

important parameters to be monitored should include law en"orcement e""iciency, su""iciency o"

programs on road user in"ormation systems /education, tra""ic signs and road markings, success

o" emergency services and proper "unctioning o" accident review committee. The monitoring

locations should encompass the sensitive locations B black spots identi"ied by 1onsultants.

Records o" accident review committee.

7...C Gar=a$ Dis,osal / Durin$ O,ration

Regular surveys and supervision works have to be carried out by the R$A at least once in '

months with assistance "rom the relevant local authorities to ensure that ade4uate bins and

containers are available "or solid waste collection and disposal and to control garbage disposal

by road users creating pollution and aesthetic discom"ort. Also there needs to be a regular

supervision o" the garbage collection "re4uency and cleaning o" roads.

The parameters to be monitored need to include the e""iciency o" establishment o" relevant

programmes and success"ulness o" their "unctions, and ade4uacy o" bins "or garbage collectionand e""iciency o" garbage collectors and road cleaners. The monitoring locations should

encompass places where bins are kept along the highway, crowded areas such as interchanges,

bus halts, places where vehicles are allowed to park and aesthetically attractive places.

7... Trans,ortation o5 Dan$rous Goods / Durin$ O,ration

Transportation o" dangerous goods including prescribed wastes has to be care"ully monitored by

the R$A with assistance "rom Police, personnel "rom the 1EA and "ire emergency services and

other law en"orcement agencies on a daily basis in order to control spills and vapour emissions

and subse4uent environmental pollution. The parameters to be monitored should encompass

re4uirements/standards "or licensing o" transporting such dangerous chemicals, appropriate

marking o" the dangerous transport vehicles, speeds o" vehicles, appropriate coverage o" open

trucks and other vehicles involved in transporting dangerous goods, and care"ul inspection o"

such vehicles to ensure that other crucial, basic measures %where necessary* described in section


14/14

!econdary development activities occurring in the neighbourhood o" the roads has to be

care"ully monitored by R$A with assistance "rom ;$A at least every ' months in order to

prevent any negative impacts on air 4uality, water bodies and even groundwater 4uality due to

activities such as illegal dumping o" municipal solid wastes and even industrial solid wastes

containing ha?ardous materials and disposal o" untreated sewage and industrial wastewaters.This task has to be carried out in the "orm o" surveys. The monitoring locations should be

care"ully identi"ied with the surveys.

$uring the operational phase it is anticipated that road maintenance activities would be re4uired

to be carried. Although these activities are temporary the mitigatory measures applicable "or the

construction phase with re"erence to minimi?ation o" sur"ace and groundwater 4uality

deterioration, air 4uality deterioration, high noise generation and generation o" construction

associated solid wastes are also applicable "or the maintenance construction activities where
