II. ECOLOGICAL MONITORING
18. In order to assess environmental impacts during construction works in Aghdash,
Goychay and Beylagan, site visits were conducted at different times to the areas with ongoing
construction-installation works. The monitoring revealed that the construction of water supply
and sewer systems in the downtown were accompanied by massive excavation of land. The
contractor plans work phases and takes necessary measures to manage excavated material
since it impedes normal movement of local people and vehicles.
19. Machinery with disturbing noise is applied at minimum. Dusty materials and other
wastes from construction are prevented through temporary fences and covers. In order to
prevent pollution of the downtown, the excavated materials are transported more through
alternative secondary roads, which are not considered the central streets of the town, rather
than the main roads of the town. There are not any cultural premises and archaeological
monuments in the project area. If the cultural and historical areas are spotted in the project
area in the future, appropriate measures will be taken with regard to the Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).
20. The contractors noted down to consider the health of contract parties, environment of
the construction site; manage noise and wastes; public grievance.
D. Noise
21. The contractors minimized the noise from construction works. All construction works
were carried out during unrestricted hours (09.00 to 18.00), excluding weekends and general
holidays. All heavy vehicles and mechanical equipment used for the purpose of the works
were fitted with exhaust silencers. No diesel heavy construction equipment is kept running idle
for more than five minutes. Special consideration have been provided to protect workers from
harmful and long exposures to noise from construction machinery such as wearing of earmuffs
for operators. The use of vehicles and mechanical equipment resulting in noise and vibration
is minimized in densely populated areas. There is no complaint about noise but it should be
kept under strict control.Listed grievances are connected with other issues.However,
residential buildings were damaged in Beylagan as a result of noise-vibration. By this way,
conducted regular monitoring of pollution should be kept under strict control.
E. Water quality
22. No construction works are conducted around any river side. The executed works were
apart from water resources and there was no pollution.All the works were implemented
considering minimization of sediment in water basin, prevention of wreckage, trees, natural
wastes, oil, diesel and hazardoussubstancesto enter the water basins.
23. Stable construction materials and damaged parts were covered to avoid loss and flow of
material. Storage sites are located at 200 m from water basins.
24. Natural drainage models were under control to minimize sludge disposal into rivers and
water basins as a result of construction. Construction works are nearly conducted in parallel to
existing system. Since existing water pipelines are very old, there are many accidents on
existing line during excavation works and they are eliminated in a very short period by the
Contractor. Accordingly, the water quality gets worse.
F. Air quality
25. Naturally, some wastes, dust from excavation and harmful gases from fuel used by
machinery affect air quality during construction. The construction site is watered especially in
hot and dry weather in order to prevent the dust. Temporary fence and covers are installed to
prevent spread of dusty materials and other wastes from construction. This method is applied
to minimize the dust. Speed limit for heavy construction vehicles was limited at 30 km/hour. All
the excavation, uploading/unloading works have been stopped when wind velocity is more
than 12 km/hour. All construction works were executed in such a way that will minimize if not
totally eliminate the spreading of dust or any inconvenience and nuisance to nearby
communities.
G. Flora and fauna
26. The environmental damage is almost minimized in this stage of construction.
H. Waste disposal
27. All solid wastes were properly packaged and disposed at the designated dumpsite of the
town. This site was determined by MENR. Waste containers were placed in every construction
site and camps. These containers are collected and disposed on a daily basis.
I. Final Monitoring Report
28. The Table 2 was prepared based on monthly report of Contractors of Trench 2. P1
project 'n Trench 1 is expired a year ago.

III. ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
J. Site inspection
29. Official ecological inspectors of Project Implementation unit conducted daily site visits. In
addition, the consultants’ site inspectors were on site to observe safeguard measures. PMO’s environmental manager paid weekly visits to the construction site.
The names of Environmental specialists of each Contractor are;
Goychay, ATINAK, ElnurCaferov
Agdas, ALKE, Alay Azizov
Beylagan, TTS Ins., Amin Mammadov
K. Reporting
30. Contractors submitted monthly reports to the PMO describing their environmental
monitoring activities and health and safety management.
L. Non-compliance notices
31. Not any non-compliance notice has been issued in the project. The environmental team
of “ATINAK” and “AlkeInsaatSanayiveTicaret A.S” Companies of Turkey and “TTŞ İnşaat MMC And Ludwig Pfeiffer” company of Azerbaijan has not changed. The team is very well trained in preventing or minimizing environmental impacts and how to implement them according to their
management plan. They have not been warned for anything.
M. Reformatory Activity Plan
32. No reformatory activity has been performed during the report period, 2014.
N. Recommendations and grievances
33. During the reporting period, grievance letters of IlhamImanovand the other resident
IbrahimovMammadYunisoglu that live in R.Akhundov street,108 in Beylagan were received
by the construction company. Private residential buildings belonging to ImanovIlham and
IbrahimovMammadwere looked at and cracks were identified in the walls of their houses as
a result of the vibration during the construction. In order to calculate the damage to
IlhamImanovMaharramoglu who lives in R.Akhundov street,108 in Beylagan, the
Construction company applied toMinistry's State Agency for Construction Safety Control and
received opinions and recommendations. According to the recommendations the problems
will be solved soon.
10 people have been registered on the complaint in Goychay. The complaints mainly dealt
with not installation of sewer lines and meters and the coverage of roads with asphalt where
the work has done. One issue is resolved, others are expected to be resolved in the near
future.
39 complaints were registered in Agdash in connection with the non-provision of water with
line and elimination of sewage manholes and investigations were conducted at ways of
solving problems and most were resolved in short period, others are expected to be
eliminated.
