Executive Summary:
The Tertiary/ Higher Education Development Program of the Government of Pakistan include a number of construction and infrastructure development projects in Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). These projects can potentially have some negative social and environmental impacts. An Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared, which identifies the appropriate mitigation measures, defines the environmental and social monitoring requirements, describes the documentation and capacity building protocols, and specifies the capacity building needs for effective implementation of ESMP. The ESMP describes the major objectives of the plan and its elements, nature of potential impacts, and proposed mitigation plan to cater with the various types of impacts likely to appear during different phases of the construction projects. The plan has also suggested the procedure and organizational & reporting system for its implementation.

The effective implementation and monitoring of the ESMP will require capacity building of the project staff, involvement of the faculty members of the Environmental Science departments in the relevant Universities in the process and effective follow up by the Monitoring and Evaluation Cell of Higher Education Commission. Institutional arrangement to involve these major stakeholders in the monitoring process has been proposed in this ESMP. Besides these initiatives, Third Party Validation has also been proposed in the plan. The total cost of ESMP has d been estimate as PKR 20 Million, which will be met from the technical assistance component of the Tertiary Education Support Project (TESP).

It is earnestly believed that if holistically followed, the ESMP will help in mitigation of the likely social and environmental impacts during execution of the construction and infrastructure development projects. To achieve this aim, firm commitment for the implementation and mentoring of this plan, from the major stakeholders will be required during all phases of the projects.

Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP)


1. Introduction
The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan desires to undertake infrastructure development projects at Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). To avoid or mitigate any potential threat to the natural and social environment due to the construction activities under the infrastructure development projects, a rapid environmental assessment has been carried out of some of the completed and ongoing construction projects, and the present Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared, in accordance with the World Banks guidelines and safeguard policies.

This ESMP defines the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders and presents a set of environmental mitigation measures, which focus at avoiding and or preventing the adverse environmental and social impacts of the projects. The ESMP also suggests institutional setup for ensuring smooth implementation, compliance, monitoring & reporting and capacity building of the stakeholders.

2. ESMP Objectives
The present ESMP has been developed to provide simple and easily understandable environmental and social management procedure for the implementation of infrastructure/ developmental projects at Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) under the auspicious of Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The ESMP provides the guidelines and procedures to address and mitigate low to medium intensity environmental impacts likely to be encountered during the currency of the projects. The specific objectives of the present EMP are: To identify likely social and environmental impacts of the infrastructure/ developmental projects and related activities at Universities and HEIs.

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

To suggest suitable measures for mitigation of such impacts at the planning, designing and implementation stages of these projects, so as to eliminate or reduce their adverse nature (if any). To propose Environmental Monitoring Program to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented during the project execution and timely corrective actions are taken, where required. The information obtained during environmental monitoring will also assist in the planning and designing of new projects. To propose institutional arrangements, incorporating roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, required to implement and monitor the ESMP.

3. Legal and Policy Overview


The present ESMP has been developed after reviewing the relevant promulgated environmental legislation and guidelines of Government of Pakistan and that of the World Banks safeguard policies. These legislations and safeguard policies, and their relevance to the proposed project, are briefly discussed below.

i.

Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997. The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (PEPA) is the apex environmental law in the country, and provides for the protection, conservation, rehabilitation and improvement of the environment, for the prevention and control of pollution, and for promotion of sustainable development. Section 12 of the Act requires preparation of environmental impact assessment (EIA) or initial environmental examination (IEE) before commencement of projects likely to cause adverse environmental effects.

ii.

Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (PEPA) Review of IEE & EIA Regulations, 2000: These Regulations define procedures for preparation, review and approval of environmental assessments. The projects falling under any of the categories listed
5

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

in Schedule-I require preparation of Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report, whereas those falling under categories listed in Schedule-II require preparation of at detailed study, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The construction activities at the Universities and HEIs dont fall under any of the Schedule-I or Schedule-II of the Regulations, which define the categories of projects requiring IEEs and EIAs to be carried out. Therefore these construction activities would not require preparation of IEE or EIA report.

iii.

WB OP 4.01 (Environmental Assessment): This Operational Policy (OP) requires EA to be conducted of projects proposed for Bank financing to help ensure that they are environmentally sound and sustainable with an objective to improve decision making process. The OP also categorizes the project in one of the four categories on the basis of the type, location, sensitivity, scale of the project, the nature and magnitude of its potential environmental impacts.

The proposed construction activities have been classified as Category B, and are likely to have low to medium level of adverse effects to environment and human population. The present ESMP has been prepared in response to the OP 4.01.

iv. Other WB OPs: The WB OP 4.04 (Natural Habitats), OP 4.09 (Pest Management), OP 4.11 (Physical Cultural Resources), OP 4.36 (Forests), OP 4.37 (Safety of Dams), OP 7.50 (Projects on International Waterways), are not likely to be relevant for the construction activities under the projects covered by this ESMP, hence these OPs are not triggered.

4. Description of Construction Activities in Universities and HEIs.


The ESMP has been developed for different components of infrastructure development projects in the Universities and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). These projects may generally have limited environmental concerns as small to medium scale
6

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

construction and developmental projects will be undertaken. The scope of the developmental projects is briefly explained as follows: 1. Construction of Academic and allied administrative, residential buildings for various departments of Universities and HEIs to cater their growing space requirements for the male and female students, faculty and staff etc. 2. Renovation / rehabilitation of existing buildings. For further details see Annex-A.

5. Project Management and Construction Methodology:


The standard methodology for design, execution and maintenance of the construction projects will be followed, which will normally include the following phases:

5.1 Land Procurement: Most of the developmental activities have been planned within the exiting Campuses of the Universities and HEIs, where land is available. However in cases, where the exiting space is not sufficient for the construction of new facilities, land would be acquired through acquisition of existing Government lands, where available. In such cases, the cost of land will be included in the project proposal at the approved Govt. rates. Free of cost Govt. land will be preferred, where available. In both the cases the title of the land will be transferred to the respective institution.

5.2: Site selection: Site selection is one of the basic considerations in ensuring the construction of environment friendly, socially acceptable and sustainable building.

5.3 Architectural Planning and Engineering Designing (A&ED) Phase: Architectural Planning and Engineering Designing (A&ED) of the proposed facilities will be carried out on the basis of conceptual plans and requirements of the users. For
7

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

selection of the Architects and Consulting Engineering firms for the design work, the standard procedure and methodology of Pakistan Engineering Council will be followed and detailed Architectural Planning and Engineering Designing (AE&D) will be carried out for each and every project site. The design, prepared by AE&D must add value to the environmental and social surroundings.

5.4 Execution and Construction phase. The construction activities will be carried out by the contractors, which will be selected as per guidelines given by Pakistan Engineering Council and Public Procurement Regulations Authorities (PPRA) Rules-2004. The following milestones are normally defined for construction and infrastructure development projects:

5.4.1

Leveling dressing and site preparation:

The site preparation and leveling & dressing is carried out as per given design based on the contour map and subsequent detailed design and working drawings developed by the A&ED firm. For excavation and leveling & dressing at site, manual labor and construction machinery like excavator and dozers will be deployed. The detailed design will be based on the principles of natural resource conservation, where the cut and fill quantities must balance to the potential extent. However in some sites, the specific topography may require disposal of surplus material or transportation of material from other sites for filling purposes. The excavated material must be possibly used for filling of the site and foundation subject to the fulfillment of technical specification.

5.4.2

Sub Structure and superstructure works:

The leveling and dressing is followed by excavation and sub structure works. Subsequent to this, superstructure (columns, walls, roof slabs, and stairs etc.) is constructed, as per detailed Engineering design and detailed drawings provided by the consulting firm. Parallel to these activities other works like plumbing and Electrical works are also started. On completion of the superstructure, the finishing works are commenced, which includes plastering, flooring, fixing of doors and windows, wood works, installation of
8

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

toilet fixtures. Finally, painting and polishing of walls, ceilings, doors, windows and others is done.

The monitoring and progress review of the projects is carried out by the relevant staff as per guidelines given by the Planning Commission of Pakistan and Monitoring and Evaluation Cell of the Higher Education Commission (HEC). Progress reports are submitted to Planning Commission, through HEC on the prescribed formats on monthly, quarterly and yearly basis. These reports are submitted by the project execution staff to ensure that the progress and quality of the projects peruses as per desired standards. The building monitoring committee constituted at the Campus may occasionally inspect the progress and quality of the projects.

5.4.3

Project Completion:

After completion of the project, it is properly terminated to ensure that the following aspects of the project have been fulfilled:

i.

All project deliverables have been procured as per approved scope, cost and quality of the project and no component of the project is incomplete and unfulfilled. In case of any variation, the requisite approval process for authentication has been followed.

ii.

All payments to the contractors, vendors and suppliers have been made as per terms of the contract agreements and no liability is outstanding. A certificate of No liability from the contractors and Completion Certificate from the executing agency must be furnished to close the project.

All contracts must be properly closed and the closure must be notified, where necessary.

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

iii.

All relevant documentation regarding the various phases/sub phases of the projects must be accomplished for future reference and Third Party Validation, where required. A document of Lessons Learned must be developed regarding project specific problems and solution etc to help in future planning of such projects.

iv.

Wide publicity of the termination of the project is required amongst the various stakeholders of the project to avoid any likely future legal encumbrances.

5.4.4

Project handing Over and Taking over ( Commissioning) When the project is completed, the execution agency/Project team will hand over the facility to the respective end users. The handing over/taking over documents are signed by the respective authorized persons, where the operational responsibilities of the project are transferred. The people responsible for the Operation and Maintenance of the facility are identified. Project Completion Report on the prescribed format is submitted to Panning Commission of Pakistan, through HEC.

5.4.5

Operation and Maintenance ( O&M) of the facility: After completion, handing taking over and commissioning of the project, the operation and maintenance of the facility becomes an essential part. Efforts must be made to occupy and operate the new facility soon after its completion. The staff for the operation and maintenance must be identified and notified, where required. The cost of O&M related human and non human resources are included in the recurring budgets of the Universities. The Schedule of New Expenditures (SNE) are developed to workout the estimates of O&M costs. The O&M staff must ensure that the facility is maintained in good working condition and all required preventive maintenance measures are taken to increase the service life of the buildings, equipment and other accessories. The changes in the use of the facility must be restricted to the possible extent. However if any change is deemed
10

Annex 10. Environmental and Social Aspects


PAKISTAN: HIGHER/TERTIARY EDUCATION SUPPORT PROJECT (TESP) 1. The Governments Higher Education Development Program includes construction of new campuses, building new class rooms

and rehabilitation and renovation of some of the existing facilities in several universities across the country. These construction and rehabilitation activities can potentially cause negative environmental and/or social impacts, including among others changes in land use and land form caused by the land take for new buildings, soil erosion caused by site clearance and de-vegetation, soil and water contamination caused by improper waste disposal, and safety hazards for the workers as well as for the nearby population posed by the construction activities. None of these potential impacts are likely to be unprecedented, large-scale, or irreversible, and can be addressed with the help of appropriately designed and implemented mitigation measures. Therefore, the Project has been classified as Environment Category B, in accordance with the WB OP 4.01.

2.

To address the above-mentioned potentially negative environmental and/or social impacts and in pursuance of WB OP 4.01,

the Project has prepared an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), which identifies the appropriate mitigation measures, defines the environmental and social monitoring requirements, describes the documentation and capacity building protocols, and specifies the capacity building needs for effective implementation of ESMP. The key aspects of ESMP are summarized below.

3. i.

ESMP Objectives. The ESMP objectives include: To identify likely social and environmental impacts of the infrastructure/ developmental projects and related activities at universities and HEIs;
56

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

ii.

To suggest suitable measures for mitigation of such impacts at the planning, designing and implementation stages of these projects, to eliminate or reduce their adverse nature (if any);

iii.

To propose Environmental Monitoring Program to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented during the project execution and timely corrective actions are taken, where required; and iv) to propose institutional arrangements, incorporating roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, required to implement and monitor the ESMP.

4.

ESMP Elements. The key ESMP elements includes Environmental and Social Impacts; Environmental and Social Mitigation

Plan; Environmental and Social Monitoring and Reporting; Institutional Arrangements, Capacity Building; and ESMP Implementation Cost. These ESMP elements are briefly discussed here.

5.

Environmental and Social Aspects and Impacts. The ESMP identifies potentially negative environmental and social

impacts and aspects associated with the construction and usage of the HEI facilities. These include the following: Environmental and social aspects associated with facilities architectural and structural design, such as conformity to the applicable bye-laws, safeguard against natural hazards, responsiveness to the local climatic conditions, maximization of the usage of local materials, conserving energy through utilizing natural light and ventilation as much as possible, promoting usage of renewable energy, making the facilities accessible to physically disables persons, availability of separate toilets for men and women and also for disabled persons, availability of safe drinking water, availability of sewage treatment and disposal arrangements, availability of emergency exists, availability of fire alarm and fire fighting arrangements, and inclusion of rain water harvesting. Aspects associated with facility site selection, such as change in land form and land use, proximity to sensitive receptors, proximity to sources of pollution and noise, and accessibility of the facility.
57

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

Impacts associated with the construction activities, such as vehicular traffic, sourcing of supplies and materials, erosion and/or subsiding of soil, contamination of soil and water, deterioration of air quality, safety hazard for the construction workers and surrounding population, loss of natural vegetation and threat to wildlife, generation of noise and vibration, damage to public utilities and infrastructure, blocked access, encroachment of the privacy of surrounding population, and damage to the sites of archeological/cultural/religious/historical significance.

Impacts associated with the operation and usage of the Higher Education Facilities, such as contamination of soil and water caused by improper sewage and solid waste disposal, increased vehicular traffic, parking of vehicles, noise generation, and disturbance to the surrounding population.

6.

Mitigation Plan. The ESMP identifies appropriate mitigation measures to address the above described potential impacts

associated with the facilities design, construction, and usage. These mitigation measures are presented in the Mitigation Plan, which lists various phases of the project, identifies potential environmental and social impacts associated with each project phase, proposes appropriate mitigation actions to address these negative impacts, assigns responsibility for taking these actions, and also identifies the monitoring responsibility for each mitigation action. The construction contractors will be responsible for implementing the Mitigation Plans, and appropriate clauses will be included in their contracts for this purpose.

7.

Environmental and Social Monitoring. The ESMP describes the mechanism to monitor the implementation of mitigation

measures identified in the Mitigation Plan discussed above. The environmental and social monitoring will be carried out either by the Project Directorates responsible to supervise the construction activities, or where such Directorates do not exist, by the Supervision Consultants engaged to supervise the construction activities. The Environmental Science/Engineering faculty of the concerned university (or a sister institution if no such faculty exists in any university) will also provide top supervision of the ESMP

implementation through reviewing the monitoring carried out by the Project Directorates/Supervision Consultants as well as through conducting random field visits. 8. Documentation and Reporting. The contractor of each construction works will be responsible to maintain record of

implementing of the Mitigation Plan with the help of checklists developed for this basis. They will produce monthly reports on the basis of these filled checklists and provide to the Project Directorates or Supervision Consultants. The Project

Directorates/Supervision Consultants will carry out environmental and social monitoring, as described earlier, and will produce monthly reports for their respective facility, with the help of monitoring checklists developed for this purpose. These reports will be shared with the HEC and the relevant Environmental Sciences/Engineering Faculty. The Faculty will review these reports, and produce their own quarterly reports based upon these reviews and the random visits to their respective construction sites. HEC will review all the reports submitted to them and compile them to make an overall quarterly report for all the construction sites. These reports will be shared with all the stakeholders including the Bank.

9.

Institutional Arrangements. HEC has designated Director (Monitoring and Evaluation) as the Environment and Social Focal

Point (ESFP) for the ESMP implementation, who will liaise with the Project Directorates and Supervision Consultants as well as with the relevant Environmental Sciences/Engineering faculties for this purpose. Similar focal points will need to be appointed/designated with the contractors, Project Directorates and Supervision Consultants.

10.

Capacity Building. The ESMP also identifies the capacity building needs for its effective implementation. For this purpose,

HEC will arrange/coordinate environmental and social trainings for its ESFP and also for the relevant officers/staff of the Project Directorates and Supervision Consultants. The contractors will be responsible to conduct such training for their own staff.

59

Higher Education Commission, Pakistan

11.

Third Party Validation. HEC will also commission third party validation (TPV) of the ESMP implementation on an annual

basis. The findings of these TPVs will inform HEC and its stakeholders about the effectiveness of the ESMP and its implementation mechanism to minimize the potentially negative environmental and social impacts associated with the facilities design, construction, and usage.

12.

ESMP Implementation Cost. The cost of ESMP implementation has been estimated to be Rs. 44.500 Million. These

estimates cover the costs of capacity building, third party validation, honoraria for the Environmental Sciences/Engineering Faculties involved in environmental and social monitoring, and other related tasks as well core staff of HEC for the monitoring of the plan. The ESMP cost will be met from the Technical Assistance Component of Tertiary Education Support Project (TESP) of the World Bank.
