Abstract: The development objective of the Dushanbe Water Supply and Waste Water Project for Tajikistan is to improve water supply and wastewater services in the selected areas in Dushanbe and improve the water utility financial management and overall performance. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) materials for new pipes and joints linking pipe segments must at least adhere to the current earthquake building standards; (2) construction equipment will be maintained to a good standard and fitted with pollution control devices which will be regularly monitored by the engineer; (3) ensure that material stockpiles will be located in sheltered areas and be covered with tarpaulins or other such suitable covering to prevent material becoming airborne; (4) use temporary noise barriers while working in sensitive locations in case accidence of allowable limits is expected. Placing the barrier close to the source proves to be effective; (5) provide temporary bridging across the trench at entries to residences and businesses; (6) spoil material from pipeline trenches around petrol stations will be tested for soil contamination before final disposal; (7) spill kits will be provided at all construction sites where fuel and oil is stored and used; and (8) waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous, shall be collected and disposed of by a licensed waste management contractor.
