Consultancy Services for Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) including Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Emergency Response Plan (ERP) of two (02) Concrete Batching Plants at near Tejgaon Railway Station and Middle of 2 Schools on First Dhaka Elevated Expressway PPP Project Tranche 2 &Trench 3.

The Government of Bangladesh has started to construct an elevated expressway stretching from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport to Kutubkhali (connecting Dhaka-Chittagong Highway) to add additional capacity to the existing north-south routes as well as act as a bypass option to alleviate traffic congestion within Dhaka city. The First Dhaka Elevated Expressway (FDEE) project are implementing under Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) by the First Dhaka Elevated Expressway Co. Ltd. and SDRB-Sinohydro JV are responsible for tranche 2 & 3.

In the Tejgaon region, SDRB-SINOHYDRO JV will construct 2 concrete batching plant. Two (Concrete Batching Plant 2& 3) locate between STA.10+950 to STA.11+400 near Tejgaon Railway Station and Middle of 2 Schools under the Tranche 3. The theoretical productivity of each concrete batching plant is about 120 m3/h. The concrete batching plant’s estimated productivity is around 120 m3/h.

The scope of work of the IEE includes:

§  Review of relevant all documents and data/information from secondary sources, and identifies gaps to be filled, relevant to the environmental screening needs from field surveys.

§  Provide a description of the environmental baseline (such as baseline data on physical, biological/ecological, and socio-economic characteristics of the subproject site along with area of influence).

§  Represent the field surveys where include baseline (air, noise, surface water and ground/drinking water) environmental quality monitoring at representative and sensitive locations, and identification of macro-level environmental issues within the Sub-project’s influence area.

§  Collect information on environmentally sensitive locations on and along the sub-projects as well as within the sub-project’s influence area.

§  Analysis of alternatives to the proposed sub-projects.

§  Identify and assessment of potential environmental impacts due to implementation of the sub-projects.

§  Conduct preliminary analysis of impacts and management measures of the nature, scale and magnitude of the impacts that the sub-project is likely to cause on the environment and classify the same using established methods.

§  Develop Environmental Management Plan (EMP) including Monitoring Plan for successfully implementing the mitigation/enhancement measures.

§  Develop Emergency Response Plan for the IEE reports,

§  Prepare two IEE reports for separate batching plant (Trench 1 & Trench 2)

§  Assist the Client in coordination and liaison with the DOE to organize presentation and facilitate the process of IEE approval and thereby issuance of Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC).
