Acquisition of other permits such as water use permits
Confirmation of data and accuracy of topographical survey
Mobilization of labour force, equipment and plant for construction works
Relocation of utilities,
Earthworks
Material transportation and storage
Abstraction and transportation of water to the construction site
Collection, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of wastes generated from
construction activities
Actual construction works
Occupational health and safety management
Landscaping and environmental restoration.
The project will be implemented in a single phase. Upon the completion of the construction activities, the
road will be owned and managed by TANROADS. As such, the implementation of this C-ESMP will
solely be a responsibility of the contractor during construction phase.
The main objective for implementing this project in the selected area is to connect the regions of mwanza
and Arusha with bitumen road standard in order to ensure orderly flow of traffic connecting these regions
and the other regions nearby hence the growing speed of economic development of these regions will be
increasing accordingly as the project is completed.

This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is an implementation guiding tool for the
environmental and social impacts management. It will guide the implementation of the proposed
Figure 1: Map showing Nyamuswa-Bulamba road section; (Source: QGIS 3.18.3, street map).

1.4 Physical and biological Environment
1.4.1 Topography and land forms
The whole road section to be upgraded to bitumen standard is at low land with no hills. There are
permanent rivers that across the area of the road project, and these rivers are like Msiriganyi River found
at the coordinate of (34.01320,-1.91410)
It is recommended that the contractor has to ensure that their activities will not cause any pollution to the
flowing water. All the wastes as well as construction materials shall be stored 60m away from the water
sources (NEMC, 2004). Mitigation measures to be taken are shown in chapter 4 in table 9.

as no detailed measurements were undertaken. The main source of pollution is generally dust generated
by traffics.
1.4.7 Noise and Vibration.
Despite the fact that data on noise pollution of the project area were not available during the time of
conducting the survey, The average noise levels for daily people’s day to day activities along the road as
well as cars and trucks crossing the road/ Project sites always range from 49 dBA to 80 dBA which are
below the TBS and ILO acceptable noise levels of 85dBA for the duration exposure of 8:00hours, Noise
and vibrations levels are rated to be insignificant. Although monitoring of this noise level should be done
in all construction sites since it can be temporarily exceeded due to noise generated as a result of
increased traffic movement across the project area which is likely to cause considerable noise and
vibrations which vary in nature and intensity.

1.4.9.2 Hard Stones
Hard stone materials are required for production of aggregates for concrete works and bituminous
surfacing. There was no existing quarry site at the vicinity of the project area so thorough investigations
done by consultant and contractor to obtain the qualified and reliable source of aggregates, Rocks
investigated for their strength characteristics, densities and water absorption so as to ascertain their use in
construction. Quarry site at km 19+500 LHS in Nyambitirwa village was identified, acquired and
approved by consultant as potential source of aggregates because of its cost effective and it meet the
requirements for Environmental Code of Practice for Road Works, 2009 and the MOW Standard
Specification for Road Works 2000, Contractor will assure that human settlement allocated within
500metre in the quarry site will be reallocated with compensation and received grievances will be solved
immediately in order to maintain good relation with the local people and Quarry/Crusher management
plan is implemented accordingly.

1.4.9.3 Construction Sand.
Sand materials will be required for concrete works and stabilization of weak soils. Potential sand
Source has been established after all the environmental positive and negative impacts assessed although
contractor has to make sure that monitoring of this site is done in order to avoid environmental
degradation, Test result from material lab also show that, the sand is suitable for concrete and road works.
Potential source of sand is shown in table 3 below.

water sources will be tested for quality to be used for construction. The contractor will apply for water
permits to Lake Victoria Basin Commission before starting using the identified and approved source,
downstream water users should be considered especially human use since Water Resources Management
Act of 2009, sets first priority to human use and other uses comes second, Contractor has to make sure
that all sources of water are protected from any kind of pollutions resulted from road construction
activities, e.g. parking and washing of vehicles and equipments in the vicinity of watercourses.

Food crops cultivated in the project area are Maize, Finger millet, Cassava, Beans, Simsim and Millet
while cash crops produced are Cotton, paddy, tomatoes, ground nuts, Irish potatoes, Sweet potatoes, and
sunflower. The agricultural system is rain fed it is luck to Bunda district because of two rainy seasons,
February –May and August to December with an annual average rainfall of 1100 mm. The highest
monthly average rainfall mostly observed in April which is 110 mm, the weather has a significant impact
on the productivity of crops. On average, one farmer can produce 1 to 2 hectares and one acre can
produce between 15- 20 bags (100kg) of maize. There is no formal market System in the area where
farmers can sell their cash crops rather each household sell crops to meet his/her family needs. Farmers
use hand hoe and there is low application of farming inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. Upgrading
of the road will serve to improve the economic potential of agriculture for the communities providing
access to better markets of the agricultural produce, livestock and livestock products by providing reliable
and cost-effective means of transport.
Livestock keeping
Livestock keeping like Cattle, Goats, Sheep, Donkeys, Chicken, Dogs and Pigs is another important
economic activity where by majority of people along the project area engaged, Communities generate
income through sales of livestock and livestock products as a source of income for households and the
Districts. Cattle disease contributes to a poor quality of livestock. Diseases in the area include: tick borne
disease, east coast fever, anaplasmoses, babesiosis and new cattle disease. The implementation of the
project may open up opportunities to livestock keepers near the project site to sell the livestock products
like meat and milk to project workers and eventually improvement to life standard of the livestock
keepers.

1.5.2 Fishing
The project area of influence does not have significant fishing activities. Fishing is done outside the
project area especially in areas such as Lake Victoria which is near the project site, The RISE project will
positively affect the supply of fish from far away and hence contribute to a boost of fish business in the
locality and also uplift the nutritional value for the locals.
1.5.3 Mining
Some of the villages along the project site are endowed with mineral deposits and type of mining which is
mostly done is small scale mining and mineral extraction through oxidation plants, Those villages along
the project site with mineral deposits area Bulamba village where limestone and Gold are mined,
1.5.3 Land use
There are five main types of land use along the project area. The larger part of the area is used for
Farming activities, followed by grazing (cattle, sheep and goats), commercial, institutional and
residential. The land use along the proposed Nyamuswa-Bulamba Road is as described in Table below
1.5.4 Graves
In the project area, there are notably two graves that have relocated already, the one was in (Chainage
15+000) in Mcharo village and the other was in quarry site at km 19+500 LHS in Nyambitirwa village,
The other two graves which are within the road reserve to be reallocated are at Chainage (km 14+700)
also at Kisangwa Village.
Figure 7 : Existing graves at Mcharo village, Site visit, 04th September, 2021

1.5.5 Access to Clean and Safe Water
Water for domestic and livestock consumption is particularly scarce in the project area. About 40.2 % of
the households in Bunda district have access to safe water for domestic use. Most of the households use
shallow wells which drying up during the dry season and as a result resident have to walk less than 1km
to fetch water in dip wells with hand pump, dams, Gravity schemes and Spring box found in
neighboring villages. Communities experience increased competition of water Sources during project
implementation. Furthermore, the existing water sources water sources proximate to project site can be
potentially contaminated / polluted by road construction activities as they are unprotected. Contractor has
obtained relevant permit for water use from Lake Victoria basin commission, it is the Contractor’s
responsibilities to make sure that identified water sources for road construction mentioned in Table 5 do
not cause water shortages to the neighboring communities and the water sources to the communities are
not compromised during road construction.
1.5 Social – Economic Profile.
Commercial Facilities/ Services Offered along the Road
Some of the areas along the project site there are commercial facilities like shops, commercial kiosks and
other commercial facilities for petty business in both sides of the project. During site visit it has noted that
most of the commercial facilities along the project site will not be demolished since are not within the
project site. Except commercial facilities at Kiroleli village are required to be demolished after the issues
of compensation has done since are within the road reserve, also commercial vendors whom are
temporary selling, displaying and other provides services within the road reserve negotiation will be made
with them to leave the area for construction activities.

CHAPTER THREE
IMPLEMENTATION OF C-ESMP
Impact is involved in every aspect, and the construction of road projects are no exception. Impact is
defined as the possibility of loss, injury, disadvantage or destruction also as a combination of the
probability of frequency of occurrence of a defined hazard and the magnitude of the consequences of the
occurrence. Impact assessment is a step wise procedure consisting of risk identification, Impact
classification and Impact analysis or evaluation. Impact assessment is the determination of quantitative
or qualitative estimate of Impact. This project may consist of many risks and this is due to involvement
of many contracting parties including designers, contractors, sub-contractor and suppliers
23
3.1.3. IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF IMPACT.
3.1.3.1 Construction Impact
Most Impacts associated with the construction are more likely to root in contractors and sub-
contractor’s activities. To keep the construction work on track, experienced Contractor and sub-
Contractor need to be involved during early stages of the to make sound preparations for developing
valid construction programs.
3.2. EXPECTED PROJECT IMPACTS (Short term Impacts and long term impacts)
3.2.1. Noise and vibration
Increased traffic movement across the project area is likely to cause considerable noise and vibrations.
The noise and vibrations will be produced by construction equipment and trucks during transport, and
delivery of construction materials to the project site. Noise and vibrations will also originate from the
blasting of rocks in Quarry site. This is short term and direct impact
24
3.2.2 Air pollution
Dust generated from land clearing, extraction, transportation, offloading, stockpiling and spreading of
sand and gravel will have negative impact to the air quality. Another source of air pollution will be due
to exhaust fumes from operating construction machinery, equipment and vehicles. In addition, there will
be clouds of dusts due to movements of vehicles and construction machinery. This impact considered as
direct short term.
3.2.3 Surface Water and Soil Pollution
Pollution of ground water and soil may occur due to accidental spillage of fuel, motor oils, and
chemicals like paints. Deposition of concrete and fine sediments during construction may cause effects
to the natural streams near the intersection. This is short term and direct impact
ERGONOMIC HAZARDS occur when the type of work, body positions and working conditions put
strain on your body. They are the hardest to spot since you don’t always immediately notice the strain
25
on your body or the harm that these hazards pose. Short-term exposure may result in ―sore muscles‖ the
next day or in the days following exposure, but long-term exposure can result in serious long-term
illnesses for example Improperly adjusted workstations and chairs, Frequent lifting, vibrations, Poor
posture, Awkward movements especially if they are repetitive, Repeating the same movements over and
over Having to use too much force especially if you have to do it frequently, Workers especially in
culvert construction are at high risk so contractor will have to conduct TBT frequently to remind the
workers on these hazards.
CHEMICAL HAZARDS which are present when workers are exposed to any chemical preparation in
the workplaces in any form (solid, liquid or gas). Some are safer than others, but to some workers who
are more sensitive to chemicals, even common solutions can cause illness, skin irritation, or breathing
problems and acute to chronic bronchial and respiratory tract diseases but all of this depend on the
frequency of exposure So workers are required to be aware of Liquids like cleaning products, paints,
acids, Pesticides solvents – ESPECIALLY if chemicals are in an unlabeled container! Vapors and
fumes that come from welding or exposure to solvents Gases like VOCs, SO2, acetylene, propane,
carbon monoxide, Pesticides and helium Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and explosive
chemicals.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS e.g. Blood and other body fluids which may lead to the cause of
Fungi/mold, Bacteria and viruses, Plants, Insect bites, Animal and bird droppings, also lack of proper
sanitation facilities at the construction sites and campsites may cause contamination of soil and water
bodies. Environmental contamination by biological hazards may lead to eruption of water borne diseases
such as cholera and diarrhea.
SAFETY HAZARDS: These are the most common and will be present in most workplaces (garages,
construction sites, Campsites), They include unsafe conditions that can cause injury, illness and death,
Safety Hazards include Spills on floors or tripping hazards, such as blocked walkways or cords running
across the floor, working from heights, including ladders, scaffolds, roofs, or any raised work area
Unguarded machinery and moving machinery parts; guards removed or moving parts that a worker can
accidentally touch, Electrical hazards like frayed cords, missing ground pins, improper wiring Confined
spaces, Machinery-related hazards (lockout/tagout, boiler safety, forklifts.
26
WORK ORGANIZATION HAZARDS these are Hazards or stressors that cause stress (short-term
effects) and strain (long-term effects) and do normal associated with workplace issues such as workload,
lack of control and/or respect, etc. Examples of work organization hazards include: Workload demands,
Workplace violence, Intensity and/or pace, Respect (or lack of), Flexibility, Control or say about things,
Social support/relations and Sexual harassment
3.2.7. Impacts due to operation of the asphalt plant/crushing plant and campsite
Material handling at the asphalt plant/ crushing plant will emit dust such as particulates and exhaust
gases that have effects on the general air quality. Further, littering due to poor housekeeping at the
asphalt plant/Crushing plant or improper disposal of unused bitumen and aggregates or bitumen spills
would have the localized degradation of land and other environmental resource (soil and water). Poor
housekeeping (poor disposal of domestic waste) at the campsites can also potentially contaminate the
environment. Also the operation of asphalt plant may produces fumes, dust and noise which may lead
to negative significant to the environment and general public.
27
3.2.9. Loss of definite materials and land degradation
Quarries and Borrow Areas: The excavation of quarries and borrow pits used for obtaining soil and
aggregate materials for road construction can cause direct, and indirect long-term adverse impacts on
land. One of the long-term residual adverse impacts of non-reclaimed borrow pits is the creation of
conducive environment for insects breeding sites that may cause spread of malaria. Ponded water in
borrow pit may become breeding sites for mosquitos, which may lead to eruption of diseases such as
malaria.
28
3.2.12. Increased rate of sexual transmitted diseases.
The major health risks include the possibility of acceleration of spread of communicable diseases,
including HIV/AIDS. This kind of risk is always there when there is influx and or intermixing of people
from different localities since this project will cause to the increase of immigrants and higher earnings
of the construction workers which attract women in sexual relations so Unhealthy social interaction
might result in an increase in the incidence of diseases including STI, and HIV/AIDS if efforts to
address the issue are not put in place at various levels of decision-making especially at household and
community levels. The impact is considered to be indirect and long term.
29
3.2.17. Surface Water Flow Modification
Construction of approach road embankments is likely to interfere with natural surface flow patterns,
where by concentrating flow in one direction, resulting into channel modification.
.
3.2.18. Safety Impact
The traffic, the construction equipment and the condition of the construction sites may cause safety risks.
Traffic poses a danger to road workers because other side of the road will be on use while construction
activities are on progress in both sides. This risk can be substantially reduced by means of correct and
proper warnings and protection of the roadwork and traffic management roadwork can pose danger to
road users because the situation deviates from what is normal. The work may entail unforeseen obstacles
in the carriageway, re-routing of roads or lanes and other disruptions. The disruptions may vary from
minimal, in the case of works outside the trafficked area, to the road user having to make detours because
the road is diverted. Lack of space adjacent the road reduces chances for creation of detours or even
pedestrian pathways during construction. Other risks may be caused by improper placement of
construction materials in the construction sites, lack of signage and traffic management programs on site.

3.2. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL PLAN
3.2.1. Storm Water Control Plan
Since the road extensions for both sites will cause some of the disturbance to the existing
drainage system especially at Ligamba and Ligamba area, the contractor will adhere with proper
engineering design and ensure proper management of rain water in the area avoid impacts to the
surrounding houses, peoples properties and infrastructure this may be done through channeling
running water in temporary drainage during construction while after road construction.
All effluent water from the main camps and sites shall be disposed in a properly designed and
constructed septic tank – soak-away system to be situated so as not to adversely affect the

3.4. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING
Each part (Contractor, Project Consultant, Client and Service Providers) will be responsible for
training the project stakeholders in accordance to the specified location. As the project to involve
different stakeholders the contractor’s environmental, Health and safety and social experts are
responsible for conducting required training to the workers on all issues related to health, safety,
environment and social. The experts in this discipline will ensure all workers are aware on this
C-ESMP and its requirement and adhere with it accordingly. Further Contractor for this project
will employ organizations registered to conduct some other training/ awareness including HIV /
AID and the road safety awareness training as well as to prepare Traffic Management Plans
based on the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP). The reports will be attached in monthly
compliance report.
3.5. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE
To have a smooth project implementation, the project manager is overall in charge to lead
responsible personnel for emergencies which may occur during construction. The site Foreman
will report to the site engineer/Manager who has a mandate to stop or direct works.
The contractor will be prepare all the documents with procedures to follow in case of any
emergency which include the name, telephone number of people who is responsible for any
emergency. This will also include the responsibility of the emergency response personnel and
contact numbers of emergency services providers like ambulance service numbers, fire brigade,
spills clean up services, police number, etc. will be displayed on board for workers.
Moreover the camping site the Contractor under supervision of Environmental, Health and
safety experts will locate the point to store all hazardous materials and to keep the Material
Safety data sheets for workers. EHS expert will be responsible to ensuring implementation of all
proposed mitigation measures for minimize and control the environmental impacts associated
with the project works. (Social expert will be responsible for notifying any issues of negative or
positive significance to the government agencies, local council / leaders and nearby
communities).
Control of environmental emergency
The best way to deal with environmental pollution and emergency is to follow proper
procedures in order avoid the impacts which may arise and ensuring that all workers on the job
site are trained to recognize the hazards and proper procedures to control of the environmental
and emergency which may arise.
Steps to follows:
Immediately notify others working in the area and their supervisor of the hazard, and if the
situation warrants it, evacuate the area. If needed, call the responsible authority for help by
using the emergence number provided. It’s an excellent idea to have someone who is familiar
with the incident as it’s required. Also make sure that anyone who is injured or anything has
been contaminated is removed from the area immediate and taken to a safe place or for future
restoration.
This step focuses on ensuring that the damage and any other environmental emergency does not
become any worse. If there is a way to stop or minimize the chances of it becoming worse, take
those actions. Workers should immediately do appropriate measures to overcome the situation.
The experience noted in the specific emergence may be used to prepare the action plan to avoid
the re-occurrence of the same damage or environmental emergency and its related matter.

CHAPTER FOUR:
MONITORING PLAN
4.1. INTRODUCTION
Monitoring is one of the important elements of an Environmental and Social Management Plan
(ESMP) and serves a number of functions. It is the instrument whereby it is determined whether
the environmental mitigation measures are fulfilling their intended purpose. This is critical in:
Providing a check on the implementation of proposed mitigation measures and ESMP
recommendations; and
Identifying corrective measures or the redesign of mitigation measures, if the originally
planned mitigation measures are not sufficiently effective.
Because monitoring is essential to identify undesirable trends, high quality and, if possible,
quantified baseline information is needed. Only when the base situation is established can
changes be identified through monitoring. The monitoring measures that are particularly
important for environmental protection are:
Baseline monitoring is to commence before construction activities. Further surveys will be
carried out if instructed by the Engineer.
The results of the monitoring program will be used to measure the effectiveness of
measures against the target.
The Contractor and Sub Contractor will follow the approved ESMP
The monitoring will consist of making field measurements of parameters as stated in attached
Appendixes section (the water quality baseline result). The procedure for routine monitoring will
be as follows: One sample will be collected from each river for laboratory analysis. Water
Quality analysis will be conducted in every three monthly

4.4 AUDITING AND CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
Despite careful planning, it is highly probable that certain components of the monitoring plan
will need to be modified. Therefore, it will be necessary to audit or review the monitoring plan to
pinpoint those areas needing correction, adjustment, or upgrading. Operational aspects of the
plan, as well as any paperwork that deals with the plan, will be reviewed. A goal will be to
continuously audit all aspects of the monitoring plan for effectiveness.
An audit of the monitoring plan and procedures will be conducted by the Contractor
Environmental Consultant at least every 3 months. Additional audits shall be carried out by the
Project’s Environmentalist at least bi-monthly. Formal evaluations of the monitoring plan will be
documented, deficiencies noted in the report, and progress in addressing deficiencies tracked in
writing. The results of the audit shall be given to the Contractor Site Engineer, who will
supervise update of the ESMP and other associated documents. Non-conformances shall be
actioner and rectified by the Contractors in consultation with the General Foreman, with advice
from the, Health & Safety Officer and Environmentalist as required. Responsibilities to address
deficiencies and accountabilities will be assigned and deadlines for addressing required changes
will be set.
During execution of project works the Contractor will be responsible for the implementation of
ESMP. Therefore the document upon approved will be a legal document to guide.
The EHS officers from Contractor will spearhead implementation of ESMP to ensure compliance
by contractor and Sub- Contractor. The EHS team will be responsible for incidence, non-
69
compliance with recommendations all corrective measures as well as to proposed a preventative
actions and combined them in the monthly report for submission to the client / project
consultants for further action.
