This section is part of National Highway N-65 which connects the province of Sindh with the province of Balochistan. N-65 starts from Sukkur and terminates at Quetta passing through the cities of Shikarpur, Jacobabad, Dera Allah Yar Khan and Sibbi. This is a very important link between the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan. Different sections of N-65 are under construction. With the improvement of this section, from Sukkur to Jacobabad, trade activities will be enhanced and the public will be facilitated through considerable amount of savings against Vehicle Operating Cost. This section passes through flat terrain and through the agriculture fields. Existing road is 6.0m wide and the same, presently, is being upgraded to four (4) lane dual carriageway with each side 7.3 m wide along with construction of four (4) lane bypass for the city of Shikarpur. Detailed Design has been prepared by M/s Loya Associates, Karachi, whereas the Construction Supervision Consultants are M/s Oriental Consultants Company (Japan) in association with M/s National Engineering Services Pakistan (Pvt) Limited (NESPAK), M/s Asif Ali & Associates (AAA), M/s International Consultants (IC) and M/s National Engineering Corporation (NEC). 2. The prime objective of project is to facilitate movement of people and goods transport in project area and between Sindh and Balochistan Provinces by providing better access and enhance the effiency of the existing road network. 3. Project had got the category-a on the basis of screening questions listed in Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) checklist. As category-a projects required EIA study to be executed to propagate the environmental profile of the project vicinity, EIA had been conducted by NESPAK. Site visits carried out for collecting primary and secondary data to identify and establish the Corridor of impact and mitigations required to minimize the adverse impacts. 4. This road/highway passes through Sukkur, Shikarpur and Jacobabad Districts. The terrain is quite flat and leveled. All the three districts have mostly agriculture fields on both sides of the road. The project area is one of the hottest regions in the country with extremely severe climate, especially in Summer, June and July are the hottest months and December and January are the coldest months. Project area is irrigated by canals emerging from Guddu Barrage system. Rice and wheat are the major crops in all three districts. Water table is higher in the project area and varies from 3 to 20 m at certain locations. Industrial activity in the project area is scarce. The sources of pollution are the emissions from vehicular movement & Asphalt plant stack emissions. Large amount of suspended particular matter is 1 Biannual Environmental Monitoring Report

Ground water samples have been collected at seven different locations alongwith project alignment (N-65) as per dictations from supervision ES. Following parameters F.Coliform, Chloride, TDS, Nitrates have been analyzed during comprehensive environmental monitoring as per EMMP guidelines. Test results attached (Annex-IV). Fecal coliform level exceeds in campsite-i drinking water sample as sewage waste discharged directly into trench nearby this point of sampling. Sewage waste scrolling down deteriorating the ground water quality as no soak pits constructed alongwith septic tanks. This colossal issue discussed with contractor to close the trench as soon as possible as it might create other significant environmental impacts e.g Malaria. Fecal coliform parameter exceeds at Lucky & Bypass locations as per analysis report (Annex-IV). There might be intermingling of water supply lines with sewage pipelines. Chloride, TDS levels exceeds in consultants residence water sample. Reverse Osmosis system suggested to be implanted to eradicate chloride level. 14. Preventive measures recommended to eradicate ground Water contamination. It is advised to keep fuel and oil storage areas away from water courses. Oil & fuel storage concrete platform constructed at both campsites to avoid spillage & leaching into soil. Instruction regarding careful handling of these resources communicated via training sessions or during site visits. Asphalt treatment was not allowed to practice during rain to avoid it being washed into water courses. 15. Arrangements for proper storage and disposal for solid waste were devised. Camp areas have adequate natural drainage. Septic Tank provided at camp site for treatment of effluents and Soak Pits will be constructed as trench will be closed. Asphalt plant effluent treatment facility has been implanted. No surface water or ground water contamination was reported due to oil spillages or asphalt laying during the reporting period.
