Introduction The road infrastructure in the Republic of North Macedonia consists of national, regional and local roads where approximately 65% of the total length of all roads are local roads. National and regional roads are under the competences of the institutions and enterprises at the national level, while for the local roads infrastructure the competences are under the local authorities. The local roads network is in poor condition, as a result of unsatisfactory road maintenance due to non-existent financing mainly because of weakness of international investment in the transport and distribution sector etc. As the main reason for the bad condition of the roads is that, every Region of the Republic of North Macedonia manages with different financial capacities that renders some Regions with not enough finances to upgrade/rehabilitate the existing roads leading to hospitals, schools and markets so this issue brings social problems as well. For the purpose of rehabilitation of existing local road infrastructure (urban / rural streets, regional and local roads), pedestrian paths, street lighting, water drainage and capacity building of the municipal staff, 70 million Euro investment secured by the World Bank, will be invested through the Ministry of transport and communications by implementation of the Local Roads Connectivity Project (LRCP). 2. Environmental Category For addressing the potential environmental and social concerns of the Project the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) will be prepared (as part of the LRCP of the MTC) in October 2019, by the Environmental and Social (E&S) Specialist which is in accordance with the requirements of the World Bank. The ESMF represents a tool for conducting Environmental and Social Assessments and Management of Project’s compliance with Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) Standards, which allows conducting of an in-depth analysis of the environmental and social issues. Preliminary screening according to the World Bank risk classification identifies two risk categories of the sub-projects: with substantial risk or with moderate risk for which different due diligence instruments need to be prepared. “Projects with substantial risk” require site-specific ESMPs, which should include site-specific information with mitigation measures and monitoring plan. “Projects with moderate risk” require preparation of the ESMP Checklist that identify potential environmental improvement opportunities and recommend measures for the prevention, minimization and mitigation of adverse environmental and social impacts.

Potential Environmental Impacts From the implementation of the LRCP rehabilitation sub-projects potential risks and impacts are expected to be temporary and/or reversible; low in magnitude and typical. These impacts are related to:  dust nuisance and gaseous emissions,  potential pollution of soil and water resources (accidental spillage of machine oil, lubricants, fuel, etc…),  generation of different types of non - hazardous waste as well as limited amounts of hazardous waste,  noise and vibrations,  brief disturbance to biotope,  possible temporary disruption of current traffic circulation,  traffic safety,  occupational health and safety (OHS),  localized disturbance of soil and impacts to water,  construction of access roads and/or damage to access roads. 4. Purpose of the Checklist ESMP ESMP checklist will be used for the projects for rehabilitation of the local roads - plain, less risky sub projects that usually only involve change of asphalt or drainage on exiting road. ESMP checklist provides “pragmatic good practice” and it is designed to be user friendly and compatible with WB safeguard requirements. This document will help assess potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed sub-project, identify potential environmental improvement opportunities and recommend measures for to the prevention, minimization and mitigation of adverse environmental and social impacts. ESMP Checklist is a document prepared and owned by beneficiary. The design and implementation process for the envisaged in the subproject will be conducted in three phases: 1) General identification and scoping phase, in which the rehabilitation of the road works that need to be carried out. At this stage according to the carried out works the potential 6 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP) CHECKLIST Rehabilitation of an existing road and walking path from the settlement “Porta” to the settlement “Mechkin Kamen” in Municipality of Krushevo negative/adverse impacts can be identified. The parts 1, 2 and 3 are drafted. The second part of the ESMP Checklist contains all of the typical activities and their relation with the typical environmental issues and appropriate mitigation measures. 2) This phase contains the project specifications and the bill of quantities for the construction works and other services related to the subproject. In this phase, the tender and the award of the works contracts and the obligations defined in the contract of the Contractor are defined. At the tendering stage, the ESMP Checklist needs to be publicly consulted and finalized. ESMP Checklist is an indispensable part of bidding and contracting documentation. 3) During the implementation phase the Contractor implements ESMP Checklists mitigation and monitoring measures, while environmental compliance (with ESMP Checklist and environmental and health and safety (H&S) regulation) and other qualitative criteria are implemented on the respective site and application checked/supervised by the site supervisor, which include the site supervisory engineer or supervisor of the project, engaged by the Municipality. During the construction phase of the project the mitigation and monitoring measures prescribed in the ESMP Checklists are implemented by the Contractor. However, the overall responsibility for the compliance remains with the Borrower. The compliance of the environmental and qualitative criteria are examined by the supervisor i.e. engineer. The Contractor’s environmental compliance is proven through the monitoring and mitigation plan. Practical application of the ESMP Checklist will include the achievement of Part I for having and documenting all relevant site specifics. In the second part, the activities to be carried will be checked according to the envisaged activity type and in the third part the monitoring parameters (Part 3) will be identified and applied according to activities presented in Part 2. In addition to defined parameters, the monitoring also includes supervision of mitigation plan implementation. The whole ESMP Checklist filled in table for each of the type of work will be attached as integral part of bidding and work contracts and as analogue with all technical and commercial conditions that should be signed by the contracting parties. 5. Application of the Checklist ESMP After completing the Environmental and Social Screening Checklist by the ESS Specialist it has been determined that, this project is classified as a “project with moderate risk”. The ESMP Checklist is used for projects that cover only rehabilitation of the existing local roads/streets (changing of the asphalt layer and substitution with the new layer, re-pavement, pothole repairing, patching and any other road surface fixing.). The Checklist is divided in 4 parts: - Introduction in which the project is described, definition of the environmental category, and Checklist ESMP concept explained; - Part 1 - Descriptive part of the project (“site passport”) where the location, legislation, project description and public consultation process is given; 7 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP) CHECKLIST Rehabilitation of an existing road and walking path from the settlement “Porta” to the settlement “Mechkin Kamen” in Municipality of Krushevo - Part 2 - Analysis of the environmental and social aspects for every activity through yes/no questions followed by mitigation measures for each activity; - Part 3 - Plan for monitoring of the activities during the 3 phases: preparation, construction and operation. The ESMP Checklist for the rehabilitation works contains the environmental impacts and suitable mitigation measures in order to reduce to minimum the impacts on the environment (air, noise and water pollution). It also offers management practice for hazardous and non-hazardous wastes and measures for control of the discharged medium at the construction site. In the ESMP Checklist there are steps that need to be done if at the rehabilitation site in the case objects of cultural / archeological significance were discovered (chance-finds clause). 6. Monitoring and reporting For the monitoring of the due diligence, the site supervisor or responsible person appointed by the Municipality including environmental and civil engineer that will supervise their part of the project activities as listed in the monitoring plan (part 3). In the table part of the document clear mitigation and monitoring measures are explained in detail with the purpose to be included in the works contracts. The mitigation measures for the project activities include, but are not limited to: the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by workers on site, air pollution prevention, amount of water used and discharged at the site, wastewater treatment, maintenance of the proper sanitary facilities for workers, waste collection of separate types (soil, metals, plastic, hazardous waste, e.g. paint residues, motor hydraulic oil), amounts of waste, proper organization of disposal pathways and facilities, or reuse and recycling wherever possible. In addition to Part 3, the site supervisors should check whether the contractor complies with the mitigation measures in Part 2. If there are non-compliances in the implementation of ESMP Checklist and/or recorded in the monitoring report, penalties previously introduced in the contract will be issued. For extreme cases, a termination of the contract shall be contractually tied in. Good communication between all involved stakeholders (Contractor, Supervisor, municipal staff, PIU from MTC and other relevant persons from the Municipality) is very important for providing continuous performance of the project activities and successful completion of overall project. 8 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (ESMP) CHECKLIST Rehabilitation of an existing road and walking path from the settlement “Porta” to the settlement “Mechkin Kamen” in Municipality of Krushevo ANNEX I: Checklist ESMP for the rehabilitation works PART 1: INSTITUTIONAL & ADMINISTRATIVE Country Republic of North Macedonia Sub-Project title Local Road Connectivity Project, Republic of North Macedonia Scope of sub-project Rehabilitation of the existing road from the settlement “Porta” to the settlement and particular activities “Mechkin Kamen” in Municipality of Krushevo Institutional WB (Project Team Project Management Local Counterpart and/or arrangements Leader) Recipient (Name and contacts) To be decided To be decided To be decided Tel: Tel: Tel: email: email: email: Implementation Safeguard Local Local Counterpart Contactor arrangements Supervision Supervision Inspectorate (Name and contacts) Supervision To be decided To be decided To be decided To be decided Tel: Tel: Tel: Tel: email: email: email: email: Implementation Supervision** (Upon completion of the procedure, the name and arrangements contact of the Supervising Engineer will be added to the fields (Name and contacts) below).
