ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE
REPORT – BI-ANNUAL (July - December 2013)
PART I- INTRODUCTION
1. North Sindh Urban Services Corp. (NSUSC) has been established as a part of
Sindh Cities Improvement Program under the Companies Ordinance 1984 for the
secondary cities of Northern Cluster of Sindh Province. This Urban Services Corporation
will aggregate participating TMA's Water supply, Waste Water and Solid Waste
Management operation in a single institution to leverage economies of scale, introduce
new skills and management, and increase focus on operations, maintenance and
financial management.The NSUSC aims to improve the quality of urban service
delivery in cities under service. This proposed long-term program of support will target
select growth centers, clustered together to benefit from economies of scale and their
strategic location along the National Trade Corridor.
2. A $300 million MFF f r o m A D B u n d e r S C I P will support comprehensive

urban planning, institutional reforms, including introduction of professionally-managed
urban services providers, and complementary infrastructure investments in water
supply, wastewater, and solid waste management (SWM) beginning in 2008, with
phased investment over ten years. The Investment Program will adopt a carefully
phased approach; financing priority investments where they are more likely to
succeed and support improved cost recovery, with learning and further investment
subsequently rolled-out to new town clusters when ready. This long-term partnership
with the GoS will provide an opportunity for more substantive engagement on policy,
regulatory, management and financial aspects of urban service delivery, a
prerequisite for sustainable infrastructure services.
3. Under the MFF loan procedures of ADB, implementation of safeguards is to be

achieved by environmental assessment of every subproject to be undertaken following
ADB Environment Policy (2009). The subprojects under the Investment Program
generally concern the development of facilities in and around the urban areas of
medium-size towns and are not likely to affect sensitive areas, forests or wetlands.
4. This report has been prepared by Safeguards Unit of NSUSC, keeping in view
the EARF and subsequent EIAs/IEEs/EMPs conducted for this purpose. NSUSC has
been submitting EMP/Environmental Monitoring and Compliance Reports since
beginning of 2010. The report presents EMP compliance progress during the period of
July - December 2013.
1.1 ADB Safeguards Compliance Scope

5. NSUSC has Environmental Compliance requirements as per Environmental
Assessment and Review Framework (EARF), approved by ADB. According to EARF
document, some of the responsibilities of NSUSC an implementation agency (IA) are as
under:
6. Prior to the submission of the PFR for a tranche of subprojects, the IA will:
NSUSC Page 4-85

(i) Prepare an environmental screening checklist to classify the subprojects in

each tranche.
(ii) Prepare the terms of reference for environmental consultants to conduct
environmental assessments, prepare environmental assessments, IEE/EIA
reports including an EMP, and SIEE/SEIA for public disclosure.
(iii) Ensure that information disclosure and public consultation in accordance with
ADB’s environmental assessment requirements have been undertaken with
affected groups and local NGOs, review the environmental assessments and
submit the IEE, EIA/SEIA, EMP documents to ADB.
7. Prior to the commencement of civil works for subprojects in a tranche, the IA will:
(i) Submit the IEE/EIAs for regulatory approval of the relevant provincial
environmental protection agency and obtain approval, e.g., environmental
clearance, Non-Objection Certificate (NOC), forest clearance and any
environmental-related clearances as per the regulatory requirements of
the federal, provincial, or local government.
(ii) Ensure that all regulatory clearances for the subproject that are obtained from
the relevant Government authorities are submitted promptly to ADB.
(iii) Ensure that the required mitigation measures during construction or the EMP
are included in the bidding document of the subproject and that the all
bidding contractors have access to the EIA/IEE and EMP.
8. During the implementation of civil works for subprojects in a tranche, the IA will:
(i) Ensure that an environmental management plan, including all proposed

mitigation measures and monitoring programs, are properly implemented.
(ii) 6 Supplementary Appendix L (ii) Monitor the implementation of EMP and post
its monitoring report on the Investment Program website.
(iii) In case unpredicted environmental impacts occur during project
implementation, inform ADB, review the EMP with the contractor, and
implement alternative environmental mitigation program.
(iv) If a subproject changes in scope, inform ADB and reconfirm the
environmental classification, determine whether a supplementary IEE or EIA
study is required with ADB, and carry out the study.
(v) Submit the requisite reports on environmental compliance and implementing
the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) as required by the Pakistan EPA
and ADB.
(vi) Ensure that ADB be given access to undertake environmental due diligence
for all subprojects. However, the IA shall have the main responsibility for
undertaking environmental due diligence and monitoring of all the
subprojects. The due diligence report as well as monitoring reports on EMP
implementation will be systematically prepared and be available to the public,
if requested.

completed , OHT near Red Bridge Khairpur is also started and foundation has been poured
which shows 70% progress , repair of existing incomplete OHT at Paracha Chock Sukkur is
started and 50% work is complete.
1.2.5 Landfill Sites for All Six Towns ICB-5 Project

18. MMP has submitted conceptual design reports for landfill sites of Rohri , Shikarpur,
and Khairpur along with procedure for ECP contract , mode of contract will be decided by
ADB as contract process outlines has been submitted to ADB for approval, ADB yet to
provide NOC for EOI as ADB has not yet finalized the format of contract which includes
Design, Construction and operation (Turnkey contract) , NOC from the Mines department is
in progress and expected to be started by 2nd Quarter 2014.
1.2.6 Indus Water Intake Project

19. The existing main municipal water supply of Sukkur city and part of New Sukkur is
provided through two conventional water treatment plants (WTPs) at Bunder Road WTP and
Numaish Gah WTP. The source of raw water supply for these two plants is an intake
pumping station (IPS) located on the right bank of the River Indus just across the road from
the Bunder road WTP and at a distance of about 3 km from Numaish WTP.
20. The Existing intake is not ideally located for several reasons:
I. It is located on the bank of the River Indus and may in extreme conditions be subject
to flooding.
II. It is located downstream of untreated waste water outfalls which dispose of about
one third of the total waste water flow of the city.
III. The raw water quality of River Indus is highly turbid throughout much of the year
which causes major problems and expenses in its treatment.
NSUSC Page 14-85

IV. At certain times of the year the level of River Indus falls to a point that river bed dries
up completely at the location of existing intake pipes.
V. There is a strong probability that in the near future the low water level of Indus will
frequently fall below that of the intake pipes, which will result in failure of the
municipal water supply.
21. The existing intake is located on a right hand channel due to bifurcation of the Indus
around an island and this channel has lower flow than the main left hand channel. At
present Intake pumping station location contaminations levels fall and rise in prorate to flow
of water in Sukkur channel. During High flows contamination levels reduces due to dilution
and vice versa. During extremely Low flows (pond levels less than 195.0 ft) water may
become unfit to lift for drinking purposes.
22. Based on the Environmental Assessment and Review Framework (EARF), Rapid
Environmental Assessment (REA) checklist as per ADB guidelines was filled up, and
concluded that the proposed project is categorized as ”A” project requiring Environmental
Impact Assessment report. The REA checklist filled up for the project is provided in
Appendix B.
23. Based on Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (1997) and Pakistan IEE and EIA
Review Regulations (2000), the project is listed in Schedule II requiring Environmental
Impact Assessment report.
24. NOC has been obtained from EPA Sindh in December 2012. The contract has been
awarded, work will start in April 2014.
25. Contract of Sukkur intake project was signed with JV of M/s KSB Pumps and Co and
M/s Crescent Construction Company to resolve the old problem to ensure 24/7 water
availabilimty of water to citizen of Sukkur and would benefit 1million people by year
2040, project is designed based on NSUSC water master planning for year 2040 , it is
landark in Sukkur’s history.
NSUSC Page 15-85

no major irreversible environmental situations is reported during reporting period.
1.2 Water & Waste Water Projects in Sukkur, Khairpur& Shikarpur ICB-3 Project
27. Noise monitoring has been regularly conducted at Khakishah, Numaish gah and
Bandar road, and all the mostly readings are within limits. No any excessive and intolerable
noise reading is reported during the reporting period.
28. Air quality monitoring is still awaited from contractor; dust emission is problem which
needs attention of contractor.
1.3 DNI Zones, Water & Waste Water Projects in Sukkur, Khairpur and Rohri ICB-4 Project
29. Noise monitoring has been regularly conducted at Sukkur, Khairpur and Rohri, and
all the mostly readings are within limits. No any excessive and intolerable noise reading is
reported during the reporting period.
30. Air Monitoring was conducted in end of April 2013, presented in the last report in July
2013. Dust emission is an issue needs attention of the contractor, also taken into notice
during field visits.
1.4 Water Quality Monitoring in Operations and Services

31. Regular samplings were carried out by NSUSC drinking water testing laboratory for
monitoring water quality of Sukkur, Khairpur and rohri water supply schemes, treatment
plants, inlets, tube wells and community hand pumps to elaborate the water quality of
existing systems.
32. NSUSC laboratory collect water samples continuously to ensure that the water
leaving the plant meets EPA &WHO standards on a daily basis and analyzes the samples
1.4.1 Methodology for Sampling

33. As per recommended methodology, water samples were collected in polystyrene
sterilized bags(whirl-pak).similarly the tests for microbiological contamination we conduct it
by adopting recommended procedure by washing the tin plates and pots with methylated
spirit & fire procedure to avoid the intrusion of bacterial atmosphere ,samples were
immediately then placed in field incubator at constant temperature of 44c for 18 hours for
growing bacterial culture with this we see the numbers and availability of pathogen
organism. .

34. Water quality monitoring is part of NSUSC safeguards unit, under this laboratory has
been established at Numaish gah water treatment plant Sukkur, through which water quality
testing is conducted regularly for Rohri, Sukkur and Khairpur. On the basis of drinking water
testing results, findings and recommendations are sent to operations and services
department internally for necessary improvements and actions. Detailed results are
presented in ANNEXURE-1. The city and region vise detail is provided as under
a) Sukkur
35. For conducting water tests (Physical, chemical, biological), SURFACE Water
samples were collected from the inlet & outlet of main water pump station at water
Treatment plants of phase-1 Bander road WTP,phase-3 Numaishgah WTP and phase-4
Airport road WTP. These water treatment plants are the main important sources which
supply water to different areas of SUKKUR.
b) Khairpur
36. For conducting water tests (Physical, chemical, biological), surface and ground water
samples were collected from various sources like tube wells, community pumps and from
public tapes at KHAIRPUR. Samples were taken from the inlet & outlet of main water pump
station at mohalla khaki shah-WTP (mix water of river & boring water), phase-1 & phase-2 of
mohalla bhurgiri near bhurgiri bridge. Phase 1,2,3 of GHARI-PUL water supply pump
station. These tube wells & borings are the main important sources which supply water to
different areas of KHAIRPUR.
c) Rohri
37. For conducting water tests (Physical, chemical, biological), Samples were taken from
the inlet & outlet of main water treatment plants.There are two main important water
treatment plants named as old water works and new water works which supply water to
different areas of ROHRI.
NSUSC Page 17-82

1.4.3 RESULTS & DISCUSSION

38. Water samples were collected from various sources like tube wells (borings),
community hand pumps and from public tapes at KHAIRPUR. Whereas water Samples of
Sukkur & Rohri was taken from the inlet & outlet of main water pump station of water
treatment plants. it is concluded from results that some water samples of Ghari-pul bridge
and Burgri-pul bridge Khairpur which are ground bore water are in accordance with the
guidelines of WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION(WHO) , water samples like from khaki
shah area have slight variation from guidelines of (WHO) in parameters
TDS,CONDUCTIVITY,HARDNESS,PHYSICAL TASTE,i.e. water is termed as DRINKABLE.
Where as water sample of area Dargah-khaki near khaki bridge(ground water-motor & hand
pump) and of area SABEEL-PIONT near municipal office found within permissible limits
given by WHO & PAK-EPA hence water of this area & location found PURE AND
DRINKABLE.
39. Similarly water samples of Sukkur and Rohri water treatment plant which use
(surface water) don’t meet the standards given by WHO & PAK-EPA for drinking water.
While detailed test results sheets are attached below…
1.4.4 Major Findings from Test Results

40. It is revealed after analyzing parameters that water outlet of khaki-shah-water
treatment plant at Khairpur have small variation from standards in parameters like
Taste,color,Turbidity, where as outlet water of area BURGIRI water supply pump station &
Ghari-pul water supply pump station at khairpur found within permissible limits given by
WHO &PAK-EPA in parameters like; PH,Taste,Color,odor,Turbidity,Hardness hence water
