Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project

established and quality of water will be examined to conform to the national water quality standards.In addition to the water supply well, 3 tube wells with hand pumps will also be established in each RS.66. Sewerage: Common sewerage facilities for household latrines and domestic waste fromkitchen and bathrooms. The sewerage system will be connected to a septic tank and then to a soakpit consists of various layers of filter media.67. Household Solid Waste Management: The composition of the major part of householdwastes will be predominantly organic wastes (mainly fish waste, vegetable skins, fruit skins andseeds, egg shells, food preparation remains, garden wastes) and inorganic wastes (mainly wastepapers, plastics, glasses and package materials). The household wastes will be collected from thesources separately and stored by the residents themselves in different plastic bins, baskets or bagsseparately (i.e., organic wastes will go in one bin and inorganic waste will go in other bin).68. Market Solid Waste Management: Waste generated at market sites, generally consists ofboth organic wastes (vegetable wastes, food leftovers wastes and food grains) and inorganic wastes(mainly fibers, clothing, plastics, glasses, and waste papers). These wastes will be collected from themarket and stored by the cleaners in different bins at the corner of the market separately i.e., organicwastes in one bin and inorganic wastes in other bin to be disposed off or resale in a proper manner.69. Composting: In Bangladesh, composting of solid waste is widely used. From thediscussions with the PAPs it was understood that a total of about 180 kg/household/year organic solidwastes are generated for each household (per person @ about 0.1kg/capita/day) in rural areas. In allRS, aerobic composting of individual household organic waste is recommended.70. Improved cook stoves: Improved cook stoves for PAPs are recommended in all RS in orderto reduce indoor air pollution.71. Power Supply: Substations will be provided in each RS to distribute power supply. Thesubstation will get power from 11 kV REB (Rural Electrification Board) Low power transmission (LT)lines. Each housing plot will get power from the feeder panel. Each housing plot will have its owndistribution board within the house constructed on it. Similarly markets, shops, schools, mosques,health centers and other establishments will have their own distribution board(s) consuming powerfrom the feeder panel.72. Safety and Security: A solid or net fence (height minimum 1.5m) with provision of main gateto exit to the road is designed around the boundary line of each RS for security purpose.8.9.1.3 Institutional Requirement73. If all the infrastructure facilities will not be operated and maintained properly, like cleaning ofclogged drains, these facilities will soon become defunct and may create health hazards. ACommunity Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) has been prepared for all these impacts.74. A community environmental management committee (CEMC) will be established for each RSto assist BBA in implementation of CEMP and O/M of all infrastructure facilities, such as watersupply, sanitation, schools, mosque, health centers, etc. established under the Project.75. The CEMC will be formed from the PAPs that are going to be resettled in to the RS. EachCEMC consists of the Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and 8 members (from union parishad, upazila,respected elders, and members from various groups/professions such as farmers, fishermen/women,entrepreneurs, teachers, religious leader, and women). The CEMC will be headed by a Chairperson.The Safeguard Department of the BBA will guide the CEMC during construction and operation phasesof the RS. The duration of the CEMC will be minimum 2 years.76. An NGO (Community Development NGO) will be hired to form the CEMC just before thecompletion of all construction works to support the CEMC during O/M stage.8-43
