Coastal Towns Environmental Infrastructure Project (CTEIP) –Galachipa Pourashava
Contract Package: e-GP/CTEIP/2017-18/Gal/BR-01
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Coastal Towns Environmental Infrastructure Project (CTEIP) is a key infrastructure
initiative of the Government of Bangladesh. The project consists of three components (i)
improved climate-resilient municipal infrastructure, (ii) strengthened institutional capacity,
governance, and awareness, (iii) project management and administration support. The
outcome of the project will be improved access to climate-disaster resilient municipal
services, including (i) municipal infrastructure such as drainage, cyclone shelters, urban
roads, bridges, culverts, solid waste management, bus terminals, slum improvements,
boat landings, and markets, (ii) water supply, and (iii) sanitation.
The package consists of Construction of 04 nos. RCC Bridge at Galachipa Pourashava of
Patuakhali district. The infrastructure will definitely improve the transportation system
along the project area.
This environmental quality test (air, water, noise & soil) report has been prepared keeping
in view the work order as provided by the client. The results of air quality test show that
the concentration of the measured air quality parameters for the sub-project locations did
not exceed the national standard. The results show that time weighted average value of
the sound monitored in the sub-project location do not exceed the national standard set
for the area at both day time and night time. Most of the parameters of groundwater and
surface water quality have not yet been standardized and rest are within the standard set
by ECR,1997. From the test result it is found that the potassium is 1.09%, zinc is 25.8
mg/kg, sulfur is 61.5 mg/kg, iron is 6.98 mg/kg and nitrate is 6.50 mg/kg for the sub-
project location.

1 Introduction
1.1 Project Description
The Coastal Towns Environmental Infrastructure Project (CTEIP) is a key infrastructure
initiative of the Government of Bangladesh. The project consists of three components (i)
improved climate-resilient municipal infrastructure, (ii) strengthened institutional capacity,
governance, and awareness, (iii) project management and administration support. The
impact of the project will be improved climate change resilience and natural disaster
preparedness in coastal towns. The outcome of the project will be improved access to
climate-disaster resilient municipal services, including (i) municipal infrastructure such as
drainage, cyclone shelters, urban roads, bridges, culverts, solid waste management, bus
terminals, slum improvements, boat landings, and markets, (ii) water supply, and (iii)
sanitation.
The package consists of Construction of 04 nos. RCC Bridge at Galachipa Pourashava of
Patuakhali district. The infrastructure will definitely improve the transportation system
along the project area.

Procedure
• The aerosol masses of coarse particle (PM10 and PM2.5) were determined by the
weighing (Gravimetric measurement) (after moisture equilibration at 22°
temperature and 50% moisture) the filter papers before and after the exposure.
• The gaseous air pollutants (NO2 and SO2) were collected by passing the air through
particular absorbent solutions in individual impinger at a constant flow rate (100 to
200 ml/min). The absorbent solutions finally analyzed and determined in UV-Visible
Recording Double Beam Spectrophotometer.
• For the determination of CO, HTC Carbon Monoxide Meter CO-01 was used and
value is expressed in ppm.

2.2 Sound Level
Noise level was measured from one (01) subproject location, during the day time (0600 -
2100 hours), and during the night time (2100 - 0600 hours). All the Measurements were
taken using an HTC Scientific Sound Level Meter (SLM), SL – 1352. Both day and night
time noise was recorded for at least 15 minutes.

3.2 Sound Level
Noise level has been monitored inside the subproject location during both day and night
time on 26 January 2021 (Figure 3.2). Result of the noise level monitored along with
details of the sampling locations have been showed in Table 3.2.

Notes:
▪ Land use category is based on the classification provided in the Noise Pollution Control Rules (2006).
▪ The sound level standards for Residential area at day and night are 55 dBA and 45 dBA respectively.
▪ Noise Level is the average noise recorded over the duration of the monitoring period.
The results show that time weighted average value of the sound monitored inside the
project area did not exceed the national standard set for the subproject location during
day or night time.
