The proposed project provides emphasis on improving service Apr 14, 2022 Page 2 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) delivery and institutional sustainability while scaling up access. Capacity building will be an integral part of the Bank’s support. D. Environmental and Social Overview D.1. Detailed project location(s) and salient physical characteristics relevant to the E&S assessment [geographic, environmental, social] As a sequel to Phase-I of the project, the Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project (CWSISP-II) is proposed to extend access to safe water supply, invest in developing resilience against natural disasters, and to support the operational performance of Chattogram Water and Sanitation Authority (CWASA). The population of the area under the Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) was 2.59 million in 2011 and estimated to have increased to about 3.2 million as of 2020 . Prior to CWSISP-I, the majority of the city’s population depended on shallow tube wells for water with its inherent risks to public health. The proposed project, will expand access to piped potable water, with the aim to reaching 100 percent of the population of Chattogram through the following interventions: (i) Improvement of major Distribution Networks involving about 70 km trunk distribution mains with varying diameters of 400 mm to 1000 mm, and distribution pipelines of approximately 750km; (ii) Improvement of water supply to low- income communities in the Chattogram Metropolitan Area; and (iii) Installation of Water Supply Systems for improving hygienic practices at selected institutions and public spaces. The investments in water systems for hygiene aligns with the GoB’s WASH Strategy towards curtailing COVID-19 and to promote hand hygiene among the population. At this concept stage, the specific layouts of the proposed water distribution networks and and related works are unknown and will be determined when feasibility studies and designs are complete. No new water production is proposed under this project as treated water is supplied from surface water treatment plants (SWTPs) Public Disclosure at Modhunaghat, Mohara and Karnaphuli. The plants draw water from the Karnaphuli and Halda Rivers, both located in south-eastern Bangladesh and hosting important aquatic life including Ganges river dophins in the karnaphuli. The Halda draws from uphill streams of the Chittogong Hill tracks, providing water and irrigation across the Halda basin, and finally discharging into the Karnaphuli river. The Chattogram city also has patches of urban forest. The footprint of activities is in built-up brownfield sites, urban, populated and largely contained within the CMA. Most houses in the area serve mixed purposes as people reside and operate small/medium sized enterprises in the same living units. In parts of the city, errand traders and vendors conduct business in the open, makeshift shelters, sidewalks. This is characteristic of the unplanned neighborhoods where streets are narrow with clusters of small shops. The construction of the distribution networks will occur along existing road networks and alleys with no need for land acquisition. Nonetheless, construction works may restrict access to homes and disrupt economic activities. Digging across some roads may cause traffic congestion and diversion with inconveniences for people during construction activities. These impacts are expected to be temporary lasting the construction period. Based on experiences from CWSISP-I, works under this project will be scheduled to avoid and/or minimize displacement and disruption of income generating activities. Where unavoidable, CWASA will implement measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of displacement. Ahead of construction, CWASA will consult local communities and affected persons, disclose potential adverse impacts of projects, and discuss measures for addressing risks. In the case of errand traders and vendors, the authority will identify vacant spaces in the vicinities for temporary relocation and serve advance notification to enable them to relocate for the ensuing construction works. As in the case of CWSISP-I, traders will be allowed to return to the previous spots when construction is complete. D. 2. Borrower’s Institutional Capacity The proposed project will be implemented by the Chattogram Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (CWASA), a government agency with familiarity and experience in implementing World Bank-financed projects in the water and Apr 14, 2022 Page 3 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) sanitation sector. Phase-I of the project – the CWSISP – was implemented by CWASA with satisfactory performance in managing the environmental and social impacts of the project. At project closure, safeguards performance on CWSISP was rated satisfactory, reflecting the existing capacity and commitment of CWASA to address environmental and social impacts associated with projects of this nature. Key staff of CWASA who held oversight responsibilities on CWSISP (e.g. Chemists) remain at post and are being proposed to serve as focal persons in support project preparation including on environmental and social issues. Despite this relative project experience, the requirements and full scope of the Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) and relevant Environmental and Social Standards are new to the staff, and suggest the need for upfront technical support from the Bank and experienced consultants to enable CWASA operationalize the ESF as the guiding framework for managing social and environmental impacts of the proposed investments. Specialisted E&S consultants will be hired to support the project preparation. Where relevant, the Bank will provide orientation/training on the ESF to the consultants and focal persons as the project is prepared. As part of the implementation arrangements, a project management unit will be set-up early in the project preparation phase with adequate staffing and capacity to oversee the management of environmental and social risks and impacts of the project. Component 4 of the project includes dedicated resources to hire additional trained and experienced environmental and social consultants to support the project implementation. Prior to project appraisal, an Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) and other relevant management plans will be drafted with commitments, procedures and responsibilities for managing environmental and social impacts of the project. The ESCP will also include staffing requirements to ensure compliance to the relevant ESSs throughout the project. CWASA maintains two zonal offices in Chittogong. These offices provide day-to-day service delivery to the communities and will be leveraged to support information disclosure and consultation activities under this project. Public Disclosure II. SCREENING OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL (ES) RISKS AND IMPACTS A. Environmental and Social Risk Classification (ESRC) Substantial Environmental Risk Rating Moderate At the concept state, the environmental risk rating of the project is ‘moderate’. This is based on the nature of physical works (pipe laying and installation of WASH facilities), which will be in built-up brownfield sites. No new water production is proposed in this project. The proposed new distribution network will improve efficiency of the supply system (water will be saved and distributed further). The typical per capita daily water demand is expected to vary from 50 to 150 LPCD depending on socio-economic conditions of the water users. As noted above, the implementing agency is familiar with the nature of physical works involved in the project and are expected to draw from past experiences in managing risks associated with the project. The main environmental risks are expected to materialize during construction phase, and include noise and dust pollution, dumping and disposal of excavated materials, traffic congestion, as well as concerns for health and safety of workers and communities. Where feasible, trenchless and pipe bursting technology will be considered to minimize the extent of excavations and trenching. Some of the existing water lines are made of asbestos cement materials, and will be left in the ground. Where these are removed, contractors will ensure careful handling and safe disposal of excavated materials. During operation phase, main risks will be community and worker health & safety issues as well as some solid and liquid wastes disposal (especially form the handwashing stations). At this concept stage, the scope and magnitude of these risks and impacts are unknown. In line with the relevant World Bank Environmental and Social Standards, an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) will be prepared with general procedures for assessing and managing environmental and social risks during construction activities (including guidelines for handling and Apr 14, 2022 Page 4 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) disposal of asbestos materials). It is expected that successful implementation of this project will have major positive environmental impacts as the reduction in leakages will improve overall supply efficiency and reduce/delay the need for further water abstractions (from rivers and groundwater). Also positive effects on COVID-19 control measures are expected due to the increase in handwashing stations. Some greenhouse gas emissions savings are also expected in the long-run due to energy savings and more efficient use of resources. Although the proposed TA activity does not have any inherent environmental risk; its implementation will pave the way forward for important positive environmental outcomes for the city as lack of effective wastewater management is a major cause of river and coastal pollution. Currently, domestic wastewater is discharges directly to the soil (soak wells), canals and rivers. Some parts of the city will have sewer system in few years. Social Risk Rating Substantial Social risks of the project is rated Substantial, as the proposed works may cause temporary, yet significant economic displacements, notably disruption of income generating activities and restriction of access to facilities and residential properties during the construction phase. Under component 1 of the project, excavation, earth movement, trenching and pipe laying will occur along access roads, and traverse urban and populated neighborhoods. Housing in Chattogram, especially in the ‘older’ parts of the city, typically serve residential and economic purposes as residents often live upstairs and operate small enterprises on the ground floors of their houses. In addition, errand traders and vendors operate small-scale table-top trading on sidewalks and road shoulders. Excavation and trenching works are expected to disrupt economic activities and restrict access to homes and businesses. These impacts are expected to be temporal, lasting the period when trenching is in progress. Disconnection and relocation of public utility service lines may also occur where trenching requires cutting across roads, pedestrian ways as well as gas and water service lines. As noted above, the ESMF to be prepared will include Public Disclosure procedures for assessing and managing social risks and impacts during construction activities. Based on the experiences in Phase-I, the schedule for trenching work, for instance, may be phased during night hours to reduce its disruptive impacts on the works on livelihood activities. Design works along with scheduling will inform the duration for carrying out works and will help determine how works can be phased to minimize disruptive impacts on the local population. Work during night hours will proceed with prior notification to residents. Noise and dust from night time work will be kept to minimum. In line with ESS5, a Resettlement Framework will be prepared to clarify principles, indicative mitigation measures, organizational arrangements and design criteria to be applied to sub-projects with displacement impacts. Adding to economic displacement, other social risks include: (i) potential for social tension between construction workers and slum dwellers which may arise if residents perceive that current construction plans will create or exacerbate inequities in access to potable water; (ii) potential for increased COVID transmission among the local population due to the presence of ‘outside’ workers in communities; and (iii) sexual exploitation and abuse as well as sexual harassments (SEA/SH) due the potential for intimate interaction between workers and girls/women. Prior to appraisal, the extent of risks related to SEA/SH will be assessed and mitigation plans adopted to minimize or avoid the risks. Despite these notable risks, the project presents overall social benefits to the targeted population, and aims to improve access to safe potable water and hygiene practices. As part of the project preparations, the CWASA is consulting with local communities and stakeholders, disclosing available information about the project and seeking community input and support for the project. A Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) has been prepared under a project preparation advance to guide early stakeholder consultation and engagement activities, will be prepared prior to appraisal. B. Environment and Social Standards (ESSs) that Apply to the Activities Being Considered Apr 14, 2022 Page 5 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) B.1. General Assessment ESS1 Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts Overview of the relevance of the Standard for the Project: Given the scope of work defined in the PCN, the project is expected to pose some environmental and social risks and impacts. Key environmental risks and impacts include noise and dust pollution, dumping and disposal of excavated materials, traffic congestion, as well as concerns for health and safety of workers and communities (including Covid- 19 related risks). It should be noted that no new water production is proposed in this project. Distribution networks will tap into existing SWTPs at Modhunaghat, Mohara and Karnaphuli; thus reducing the need for exploring different water sources. On social risks and impacts, the proposed activities may result in displacement and disruption of income generating activities during the construction phase. Other social concerns include issues of equitable access to potable water for unserved and underserved low income populations in the city as well as the potential SEA/SH which may arise from labor influx. Low income and vulnerable households, typically urban poor households operating table-top business along the streets, may be constrained from access if tariffs are high. Issues about tariffs and access will be included in a tariff review study to inform cost recovery. Under CWSISP-I, CWASA piloted a community- managed water supply system to extend access to poor urban households. The effectiveness of this model will be reviewed to inform scale up and improve tariff systems in low-income households under this project. The inherent E&S risks and impacts of the project underscores the relevance for the ESS1 to be used as a guiding framework for assessing and managing such impacts. At this stage of the project, design of pipeline alignments and locations of WASH facilities are not finalized yet. As such, and in line with the ESS1 and applicable environmental regulations of Bangladesh, an ESMF will be prepared with general guidelines and procedures for assessing and managing environmental and social risks and impacts when designs are complete. The ESMF will inform risks screening and Public Disclosure subsequent design of E&S instruments that are required to address the impacts of sub-projects. In addition to addressing notable risks, DWASA will ensure inclusive designs of communal water collection points, making sure they guaranttee universal access. In the event that the CERC is activated, the ESMF will be updated along with a list of ineligible activities to guide the assessment and management of risks related to eligible CERC activities. Areas where “Use of Borrower Framework” is being considered: The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) has policies for environmental risk management, albeit implementation and oversight are weak. The project will not use the borrower framework for managing environmental and social risks. Nonetheless, all project activities will be conducted in compliance with relevant national laws and regulations of Bangladesh and the World Bank’s Environmental and Social standards. ESS10 Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure Demand for and access to potable water is a basic need which often draws significant interest from consumers and stakeholders. Official statistics indicate that only 30 percent of the urban population of Bangladesh have access to piped water services. At the same time, reliability and safety of water supplies remain problematic in the country, with 70% of the population being exposed to unsafe drinking water. These challenges coupled with growing urbanization often generate interest in water investment projects in the country. The proposed activities under the project aims at extending improved water access to the entire Chattogram communty including urban poor and low income income communities. Accordingly, this standard is considered relevant for this project and will serve as the guiding framework for planning and implementing stakeholder consultation and information disclosure activities in the project. In line with the standard, a stakeholder engagement plan (SEP) has been prepared by CWASA to serve as Apr 14, 2022 Page 6 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) basis for early consultation of local communities, school authorities, health facility administrators, women, and other water user groups. The SEP prioritizes timely disclosure of relevant information about the project, the population areas targeted to benefit from the project, and the expected environmental and social impacts of these activities. Prior to appraisal, the SEP will be updated to reflect the scope of risks and concerns associated with project designs. The stakeholder engagement activities will discuss issues about access and tariffs in low income communities, discuss issues about inclusive designs and universal access, promote safe hygienic practices and leveraged to disseminate information about prevention measures against COVID-19. The SEP will identify the consultation and disclosure needs for ESMF and site-specific project environmental and social management plans. The SEP will be implemented by the Public Relations Unit of the CWASA. B.2. Specific Risks and Impacts A brief description of the potential environmental and social risks and impacts relevant to the Project. ESS2 Labor and Working Conditions Based on the scope of the project, direct workers – typically staff of the CWASA and contracted workers - will be engaged to undertake specific project activities with inherent risks related to Occupational, Health and Safety (OHS). Engineers from the Construction and Supervision Unit of CWASA and workers hired by contractors are expected to carry out excavation, earth movement, trenching and pipe laying works during the construction of the project. Whilst this risks is expected, the number of workers to be involved and the full scope of this risks cannot be ascertained at this stage of the project. As the project preparaton advances, the Bank will liase with project engineers to assess the number and type of workers that will be involved in the construction activities, and advice on training and mitigation Public Disclosure measures against OHS risks and impacts. During operations, women may be engaged in fee collection as well as operations and maintenance of community-managed systesm in low-income neighborhoods, as CWASA attempts to encourage community-managed water points and to engender WASH services in scuh communities. Working in the context of COVID-19 may also expose workers to the risk of infections if adequate corona virus control measures are not instituted at the sites. Consistent with the requirements of this standard, labor management procedures (LMPs) will be prepared with guidance and measures to ensure OHS and control the potential spread of COVID-19 among workers at project sites and offices. The LMP will clarify the terms and conditions under which women will be engaged in tariff collection and outline avenues by which they can raise complaints and grievances related to their involvement in operating community-managed water points. Child labor is prevalent in Bangladesh, predominantly in agriculture and industry and could attempt to seek construction related work under the project. In line with the standards, the use of child and forced labor is prohibited in the project. Persons under the age of 18 are not allowed to work at any site or any facility being financed by the project. Contractors will carry out age verification (using certified birth certificates and citizen identification cards) as a precondition for employment. The project will provide accessible grievance mechanism to allow workers to raise workplace concerns to be addressed by the CWASA, site foremen, and sub-station managers. The GRM will provide a parallel avenue for SEA/SH-related grievances to be submitted for review and redress following the necessary confidentiality requirements and sensitivities. ESS3 Resource Efficiency and Pollution Prevention and Management Apr 14, 2022 Page 7 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) The project will support construction of improved and energy efficient water supply systems. The treated water is sourced from Karnaphuli and Halda Rivers via existing surface water treatment plants. In addition, new WASH facilities will be installed at public and communal areas to promote hand hygiene practice and help prevent the spread of viral diseases including COVID-19. Despite these positive impacts, some project activities (i.e. excavation, trenching, etc.) may cause pollution of air, soils, and water bodies during the construction phase. Similar impacts may occur during the operation and maintenance of the water supply networks and are expected to be marginal. Dometice wastewater in the city is currently is managed through direct discharge to soil (soak wells), canals and rivers. However, CWASA has sewer and Sewage Treatment Plant projects under way sourced by Government funds. The ESMF and subsequent ESIAs/ESMPs will be prepared and implemented to address these adverse impacts. ESS4 Community Health and Safety There will be some community health and safety risks during the construction phase of this project, especially during the physical works along urban roads for laying water supply pipelines. These risks include traffic diversion and congestion with the potential to exacerbate traffic conditions and induce vehicular accidents and injury; potential for increased transmission of COVID-19 among workers and local population due to the presence of ‘outside’ workers in communities; and the risk of SEA/SH which may materialize in slum and low-income areas during works due to intimate interactions between workers and local women. In addition, there are risks of vector-borne disease that may occur during operation and maintenance which needs to be properly managed. Works phased during night hours may give rise to noise and nuisance in the communities. The ESMF will outline protocols to minimize transmission of COVID-19 and detail out safety precautions for protecting community from CHS risks associated with construction Public Disclosure activities (such as protective labels, fences around trenches, traffic management related guidance). Construction plans and ESMPs will set out plans for managing traffic diversions and community safety issues. Adding to managing community health and safety risks, the project will have overwhelming positive impacts due to improved water supply system and may help in spreading of COVID-19 by increasing the number of WASH facilities. The water supplied after distribution networks are installed will comply with national drinking water quality standards. In addition, the SEP will include messages aimed at promoting hand hygiene and actions to be adopted in preventing COVID infections. ESS5 Land Acquisition, Restrictions on Land Use and Involuntary Resettlement As noted above, the construction, expansion and rehabilitation of water distribution networks will occur along access roads, often traversing urban and populated areas. A 70km trunk distribution line measuring 400mm to 1000mm and approximately 750km of distribution pipes will be laid to expand and improve access to potable water. These activities are expected to induce economic displacement and relocation of public utility lines and services such as water, gas, telephone and electricity. During construction activities errand vendors selling on table-tops may not be able to operate their business especially when trenching and pipe laying is being carried out. In addition, excavated materials and trenches are also expected to restrict access to homes, businesses, offices and other facilities of interest to the population. Based on these expected impacts, this standard is considered relevant. Any restrictions on land use which is connected to the project implementation will be undertaken through voluntary and good faith negotiations between CWASA and local communities . However, loss of income resulting from disruption of livelihood and economic activities as a result of project works will be compensated for in line with the objectives and requirements of this standard. Prior to appraisal, a Resettlement Framework will be prepared to guide the conduct of Apr 14, 2022 Page 8 of 11 The World Bank Chattogram Water Supply Improvement and Sanitation Project - II (P176429) resettlement planning and implementation throughout the project life. Upon completion of network layout designs, a Resettlement Plan will be prepared and implemented with provisions for compensation and additional livelihood assistance for Project-Affected Persons (PAPs). Based on the current scope of activities, no permanent land acquisition is anticipated. All impacts related to involuntary resettlement and restriction of access to resources are largely expected to be temporary, reversible and of moderate impacts. ESS6 Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Management of Living Natural Resources The proposed project activities will be in an urban area, that is already highly altered. However, there are some sensitive sites in and around the city. This includes hills, trees and sensitive water bodies, such as the Halda River, which is the country’s only natural spawning ground for major carps. The existing urban forests of the city area play an important role in biodiversity, slope stability, as well as enhance the overall green landscape of the urban area. The ESMF, when prepared, will provide general guideline and procedures for managing impacts related to biodiversity and natural habitats. ESS7 Indigenous Peoples/Sub-Saharan African Historically Underserved Traditional Local Communities Based on preliminary social assessment, there are no populations or groups in the project footprint that meet the description of Indigenous People as noted in paragraph 8 of the World Bank’s ESS7. Chattogram is typically urban, cosmopolitan, and inhabited by non-IP populations. Whilst some families may belong to IPs communities, they do not live in distinct settlements and political systems from the mainstream population. Based on this assessment, this Public Disclosure standard is not relevant for managing risks in the project. ESS8 Cultural Heritage Based on the scope of activities and preliminary risks assessment, risks and impacts associated with cultural heritage are not expected to occur. Excavation and trenching will involve depth of 1 to 2m, and are not expected to uncover cultural artifacts. Nonetheless, the relevant aspects of this standard will be drawn to inform the ESMF and ensure that artifacts, if discovered during works, will be duly registered and presented with the relevant authorities in Bangladesh. The ESMF will include a Chance Find Procedure with relevant guidance project for securing requisite permits from national authorities regarding cultural heritage registrations and the stakeholder consultation process will include consultations related to identifying cultural heritage in collaboration with the communities. ESS9 Financial Intermediaries The project does not involve Financial Intermediaries therefore this standard is not relevant. C.
