ROADS DEPARTMENT OF GEORGIA MINISTRY OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE Environmental and Social Management Plan Secondary Road Asset Management Project Sh16: Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni Secondary Road (Sh16) Rehabilitation km 60.3 – km 61.5 Georgia 2020 PART I: GENERAL PROJECT AND SITE INFORMATION INSTITUTIONAL & ADMINISTRATIVE Country Georgia Project title Rehabilitation of Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni (sh16) road section from km 60.3 – km 61.5 Scope of project and On the basis of the results of comprehensive engineering assessment of the current state of the road activity network and surveying the geological and geodynamic conditions of road-section 60.3 – km 61.5 of Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni Road (Sh16), the relevant roadbed stabilization measures were determined. The design solution for stabilization measures at section km 60,3-km 61,5 of Kutaisi-Alpana- Mamisoni Pass Road (SH16), has no alternative (for example with gabion wall) as it includes clearing the slope from debris and arrangement of lower retaining wall, to lengthen the existing concrete wall. The designed measures will protect the vulnerable section of the road from erosion in a long term through adapting to the expected impacts of the climate change and ensure traffic safety. The project envisages stabilization of the roadbed through construction of the lower supporting concrete wall with 3.0 m in height and 60.0 m in length. On the right side of the road section, a geodynamic phenomenon is observed in the form of erosion and rock sliding which causes filling of the lower steep slope with crushed stone while the lower supporting concrete basis is missing. It causes risk to transportation on the road section subject to the project. Institutional arrangements Project Team Leader Safeguard Supervision (World Bank) Darejan Kapanadze, Environment Aymen A. Osman Ali Sophia Georgieva, Social Institutional arrangements Project Manager Supervisor Contractor (Borrower) Giorgi Tsereteli, (if different from employer) (Not Defined) Consultant to Roads Department (not defined) SITE DESCRIPTION Name of site Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni (Sh16) road section from km 60.3 – km 61.5 Describe site location The road starts at km 60.3 of Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni road and ends at km 61.5 of the same road. Road section passes through unpopulated area on the right slope of river Rioni valley. The nearest settlements are villages Alpana (Tsageri Municipality) in 7 km from the site and Tchkvishi (Ambrolauri Municipality) in 2,5 km; The site location is vacant form any structures/ buildings of commercial and/or residential designation. The site is located on the slope with southern exposure, inclined to the Rioni River. The micro relief of the slope is structured with the rocky layers inclined towards the same slope, the surfaces of which are stripped over a large area and are steeply inclined. Some sections of the slope foot have been partially cut to create a roadbed, which further increases the inclination of the slope foot, but on the most part of the section the roadbed is presented by the earth fill reinforced with retaining wall with the sickness at 3-5 meter from the down side. The slope of the valley down the road is also steep, along the rocky base of which the Rioni River flows. Geodynamic conditions and associated stabilization measures: The layering of the rocky formations at the site is in some cases coincided with the inclination of the slope. In certain small sections the ground is cut under the limestone layers while formation of the roadbed, though the slope has been keeping the sustainability for many years even after the intensive earthquake that took place in those places. It is stipulated by the solid and natural foundation in the most places of the layers ’ direction, the level/quality of the layers’ interconnection is high, the gapping caused by cra cks is low and correspondingly the carbonate mass has the high level of thickening. In some places, the rocky formations are covered with the denudate gritstone gravel, stone blocks and sand-clay aggregate from the upper part of the slope. In the sub-soil parts of the half-cut slopes of the road are mentioned the stone-slides with low intensity as the large fractions in them are connected with carbonate sand-clay aggregate. It is only required to clean/release such sections from those blocks and large stones regularly that are weakly connected with the mass and there is the actual danger for their falling down. The certain parts of the left half-cut slope from km61+100up to km61+400of the road, with total length 100-120m carry the same characteristics. From the geodynamic phenomena on the site should be also mentioned the erosion sliding process of the gritstone gravel earth fill on the low steep slope to the right side of the road within the limits of the section, where it is not protected with the lower supporting concrete wall. It is required to arrange the lower supporting concrete wall for earth-bed stabilization which was not built during the primary construction works. The stabilization actions should be performed are: construction of protective wall and releasing of the slope from the loose block stones. The length of the wall to be constructed is about 54 meters. Who owns the land? (i) The existing ROW is owned by Ambrolauri Municipality. (ii) State Forest Fund under the LEPL National Forest Agency under the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture of Georgia (3527 m2). (iii) Rehabilitation works on the road will not have any negative impact on privately- owned/used land as the area around the project site is not populated. Description of geographic, Location: The project road section starts at km 60.3 and ends at km 61.5 Kutaisi-Alpana-Mamisoni physical, biological, (Sh16) road. The road section runs to valley of the river Rioni. geological, hydrographic Climate: According to the construction-climate zoning the territory of the road section belongs to and socio-economic the sub region “b� of II climate region. The average annual air temperature for the area is + 5.5 0C context (11.20C), -3.10C (1.10C) in winter, and 15.40C (20.60C) in summer. The absolute minimum is -270C and the absolute maximum is + 400C. The total amount of precipitation is 1,075 mm/year. Air: Air quality in the project area is good due to low traffic levels and absence of industrial facilities. Water and Soil: The presence of groundwater on the site is not observed anywhere. The groundwater is not also mentioned in the drilled wells of the site. Correspondingly, while performing the stabilization works on the site the groundwater will not be expected. From surface waterbodies should be mentioned river Rioni which is the main river of region and runs along the whole road section to be rehabilitated. No pollution of surface eaters and soil is reported. Flora: The territory along the road section km 60.3 – km 61.5 belonged to the State Forest Fund under the LEPL National Forest Agency under the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture of Georgia. The total area of the land was de-listed from the Fund and transferred to the Roads Department is 3527 m2. The vegetation of the area is mainly composed by the species listed Below: Species Latin name Number of trees Taxation of 8cm and more dimeter timber resource Pine Pinus nigra 3 Oak Quercus iberica 15 Hornbeam Carpinus caucasica 19 Total 37 Taxation of timber resource with dimeter less than 8cm Oak Quercus iberica 56 Hornbeam Carpinus caucasica 102 Total 158 Sum 195 The species present on the site are not on the Red List of Species of Georgia. Fauna: The project road pass through the degraded territory and accordingly the fauna is not reach. Mostly fauna is presented by the species which does not need any special protecting measures. Due to the small area of the project, the impact on the fauna will be minimal. Noise: The current noise level is low due to low intensity of traffic and lack of industrial facilities. Impact related to the noise generated from construction activities is not expected as the road section from km 60.3 – km 61.5 is laid between unpopulated lowland terrains. Social/ Involuntary Resettlement: No land take is required for undertaking rehabilitation of the road section. No temporary impact on private lands, fences or other assets is expected along this road section as territory is free from population and privately-owned lands. Locations and distance for Information about material resources near the project road: material sourcing, Description Location especially inert aggregates, River (Sand-gravel) Quarry Village Chrebello, Ambrolauri Municipality water, stones Balk Stones Village Kursebi, Tkibuli Municipality LEGISLATION Identify national & local SRAMP is implemented in accordance with the World Bank's safeguard policy OP/BP 4.01 - legislation &permits that Environmental Assessment. Based on this policy, present subproject is classified as environmental apply to project activity category "B". The following Plan for Environmental and Social Management is prepared according to the principles defined by OP/BP 4.01 and Environmental and Social Management Framework of SRAMP. Under the Georgian legislation, works for road rehabilitation project does not require assessment of an environmental impact, approval, or issuance of a permit/Environmental decision. However, with the national regulation system: i) Contractor company must be licensed; ii) Construction materials must be obtained from licensed providers, iii) If the Contractor wants to open a quarry, an appropriate license must be obtained from the National Agency of Mines under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development; iv) If the Contractor wants to open its own plant of asphalt or concrete (or both), an environmental decision, which will cover the upper limit of pollution concentration; v) Construction waste should be disposed at the official landfill based on the agreement with the Solid Waste Management Company or placed at the pre-selected site officially agreed with local self-government; vi) Land area within RoW was included into the State Forest Fund was be de-listed from the Fund and transferred to the Roads Department. The above-mentioned procedure is finished GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM A grievance redress mechanism will be available to allow project effected people appealing any action or decision on which they disagree. The APs will be informed about the available GRM during public consultations and through distributing of brochures prior to commencement of works.
