Reporting
387. 
The Contractor(s) 
EO will 
prepare weekly environmental checklists and 
environmental sections in monthly progress reports, which will be submitted to the PMC for 
review. Based on site inspections and Contractors’ reports, the PMC shall be responsible for 
preparing an environmental section of detailed Quarterly Progress Reports to submit to the 
PMU. The PMU will use this environmental section and the findings of review missions 
conducted by the PMU’s ESSS to submit to ADB quarterly assessments of EMP 
implementation.
388. 
The PMC is responsible for assisting the PMU in preparing semi-annual 
Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMRs) and a final EMR including post-construction 
environmental audits. If there are any changes in the design or alignment or if there are any 
unanticipated impacts, the IEE/EMP will be updated to account for any additional or new 
environmental impacts and relevant corrective actions. In January and July every year, the 
PMU will submit semi-annual environmental monitoring reports to ADB and relevant 
government authorities, and these reports will be disclosed to the public on the Association’s 
website (in Uzbek or Russian) and ADB (in English) websites.

The SCEEP is the executing agency (EA) for the project. A PMU under the SCEEP 
will 
handle 
procurement, 
contract 
management, 
financial 
management, 
project 
administration, and safeguards compliance and reporting. The Association is the 
implementing agency (IA) for the project, responsible to coordinate, monitor, verify and report 
project implementation progress.
390. 
The PMU and PMC will be responsible for implementation of the EMP, to comply with 
AD B’s safeguards requirements and environmental national regulations. Monitoring will be 
accomplished by the Safeguards Specialist of the PMU, and the Environmental Specialist of 
the PMC. The cost for implementing the EMP will be financed by the project, specifically: 
costs of mitigation measures and environmental monitoring will be included in the 
construction contracts, the cost for the PMU environmental supervision through an individual 
employment contract, and the cost of PMC supervision in the PMC consulting service 
contract. The PMU is responsible for overall environmental compliance with SPS 2009.
391. 
Contractors will be responsible for implementing mitigation measures indicated in 
EMP and relevant to the project. Within 30 days after contract award and prior to commencing 
any physical works, Site-specific Environmental Management plans (SSEMPs) will be 
developed by the Contractors under the guidance of the PMC, and be endorsed by PMC 
before submission to the PMU for approval. The SSEMP is the document that the Contractors 
shall prepare, outlining how they intend to implement the EMP and ensure that all of the 
mitigation and monitoring is completed according to the implementation arrangements 
specified in the EMP. During construction, the Contractors must retain the expertise of a full­
time Environmental Officer (EO) to implement and continually update the SSEMPs, and to 
report on the implementation of mitigation measures throughout the contract period.
392. 
The PMC is tasked with specific responsibilities to assist the PMU in ensuring 
safeguard compliance of civil works: with particular emphasis on the monitoring of the 
implementation of the EMP through the contractors SSEMP, and Topic Specific EMP and 
related aspects of the project. The PMC shall ensure that the Contractors comply with their 
environmental obligations. It is required that the IES provides a short training program to the

PMU safeguard person and Contractors EO prior to the start of construction to develop their 
knowledge and understanding of the environmental, social, and health and safety aspects of 
the Project. The TORs for the IES and NES are in the PMC contract. The IES will also be 
responsible for assisting to develop and update the Asbestos Management and Disposal 
Plan Training EHS for contractors, which needs to be conducted throughout project 
implementation, at every visit of the IES.
393. 
The PMU will hire a safeguards specialist to manage and coordinate the Contractors 
and PMC in reporting to the EA and ADB on the safeguard performance of the project. The 
PMU is responsible for overall EMP implementation and will be assisted by the PMC. The 
PMU’s responsibilities include the following, but not limited to:
• 
Ensure the bidding documents of PMC and Contractors include all tasks as 
described in the approved EMP;
• 
Supervise the PMC and Contractors in EMP implementation for overall compliance 
with SPS 2009 requirements and project environment-related legal covenants;
• 
Approve SSEMPs which will be prepared by the Contractors and endorsed by the 
PMC;
• 
With the assistance of the PMC, prepare, submit to the EA and ADB, and disclose 
semi-annual environmental monitoring reports on the ADB and Government 
websites.
• 
Report in a timely manner to ADB of any non-compliance or breaches with ADB 
safeguard requirements and take corrective actions promptly;
• 
In assistance with PMC’s IES, update the IEE in case of technical design changes 
or unanticipated impacts; and
• 
Establish a GRM after project effectivity and act as the GRM secretary to make sure 
that the GRM is operational to effectively handle environmental and social concerns 
of project affected persons.
394. 
It is therefore recommended that the PMU hire a full-time Safeguards Specialist who 
will be in charge of the implementation of the EMP, and ensure compliance with national 
environmental requirements during the operation phase.
