**Environmental Compliance Site Inspection Report** **Date of Report:** April 12, 2026 **Project:** Construction / Metaling of Road from Gorikote Astore to Shagharthang, Skardu **Inspector:** Sajid Ali **Inspection Date:** April 11, 2026 **Weather Conditions:** Cloudy **Chainage/Location:** From KM 9+200 to KM 12+000 **Inspection Type:** Weekly **Phase of Work:** Construction (Metaling) --- ### Compliance Summary In this site inspection, various compliance parameters were assessed regarding environmental protection, community impact, and occupational health and safety (OHS) measures on the construction site. Below is a summary of the compliance status for the inspected items: | Total Items Checked | Compliant (C) | Non-Compliant (NC) | Partially Compliant (P) | Not Applicable (N/A) | Compliance Rate (%) | |---------------------|----------------|---------------------|-------------------------|----------------------|---------------------| | 25 | 16 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 64% | ### Findings and Observations 1. **Vegetation Management and Tree Protection:** - Trees were only cut where absolutely necessary, with efforts made to avoid damaging crops and community trees. However, instances of boulder impact due to operator negligence resulted in preventable damage to roadside trees. 2. **Cooking Provisions:** - LPG is being utilized for cooking, with no instances of workers cutting trees for wood observed. Continuous monitoring is recommended to minimize incidental damage to nearby vegetation. 3. **Inventories and Documentation:** - A comprehensive inventory of all cut trees is being maintained. This includes species, size, location, and ownership, which will be essential for compensatory measures. 4. **Erosion and Site Stability:** - Cutting and filling operations have left natural slopes exposed, raising concerns about erosion. Immediate stabilization measures are recommended to address this issue. 5. **Machinery and Equipment:** - All machinery used on-site appears well-maintained and operates within permissible noise limits. No ill-maintained machinery was observed near community areas. 6. **Environmental Awareness:** - Workers displayed a lack of environmental awareness concerning pollution, necessitating targeted training to enhance their understanding of environmental stewardship. 7. **Safety and Health Compliance:** - Numerous critical gaps in safety culture were identified, including the absence of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for both workers and site engineers, lack of first aid facilities, an emergency vehicle, and a complaint register. 8. **Water Quality and Sanitation:** - While sanitation facilities appear acceptable and no wastewater is released into streams, laboratory testing of drinking water quality has not yet been conducted. 9. **Community Impact:** - There were no adverse effects noted on community utilities such as drinking water pipelines, and vehicle movement speed limits are being observed to prevent harming livestock. ### Recommendations Given the findings of the inspection, the following recommendations are proposed to address non-compliance and improve overall site conditions: 1. **Immediate Provision of PPE:** Ensure all workers and engineers are equipped with and utilize the necessary personal protective equipment. 2. **Establishment of First Aid Facilities and Emergency Vehicle:** Immediate provision of both first aid stations and emergency vehicles to improve safety measures on-site. 3. **Development of a Complaint Register:** Implement a system for registering and addressing community or worker complaints to enhance transparency and local engagement. 4. **Water Quality Testing:** Conduct laboratory analysis of drinking water to ensure compliance with health standards. 5. **Environmental Awareness Training:** Organize training sessions for workers to foster a better understanding of environmental protection practices and their implementation. 6. **Erosion Control Measures:** Apply temporary erosion controls to stabilize exposed slopes until permanent solutions are implemented, utilizing techniques that align with best practices for slope stabilization. 7. **Consultation for Compensatory Planting:** Engage with forestry and agriculture departments to finalize plans for planting fruit and non-fruit trees as part of the compensatory measures. ### Overall Compliance Assessment The current overall compliance is rated as **Partially Satisfactory** based on the observed practices and critical gaps in safety and environmental management. --- **Inspector's Signatures:** Environmental Inspector (IEPL): _______________________ Date: _______________ Assistant Resident Engineer (Highways): ____________________ Date: _______________ Chief Resident Engineer (CRE): _______________________ Date: _______________ **End of Report**
