Kublalsingh blocks bulldozer


Highway Reroute Movement leader Dr Wayne Kublalsingh speaks with reporters outside the Office of the Prime Minister in Port of Spain on Thursday.

Activist Dr Wayne Kublalsingh on Thursday said he recently had to stand in front of a bulldozer and tractor which tried to work on the Debe to Mon Desir section of the Point Fortin Highway.

Honked by passing drivers outside the Office of the Prime Minister at Whitehall, Port of Spain, Kublalsingh and Highway Reroute Movement (HRM) members Jason Ash and Sureash Chaitoo spoke with reporters.

Kublalsingh used a bullhorn lent to him by PSA leader Watson Duke to tell the Prime Minister of his angst over the highway stretch. Showing reporters a photo and a media statement, Kublalsingh said in March 2017 he had met Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan who had declared the Mon Desir segment was then not a priority due to financial constraints.

He alleged that by January 2019, the minister had issued tenders, chosen contractors and started work on the segment of the highway, but had not acted on calls to meet the HRM. He also accused the government of having used the HRM as a “fig leaf” in arbitration talks to snatch back $1 billion from the defunct contractors, OAS Construtora, and then ditching the lobby group.

Kublalsingh lamented that this train of events had all happened despite his group having initiated legal action against the Mon Desir roadworks.

He alleged the state lawyers had delayed so much that the application for leave had not been heard, leading to the movement asking the judge to recuse herself, which she did, but with the judiciary then failing to name a new judge.

“Last Friday the HRM members, unprotected by the court and betrayed by the minister, had to stand in front of tractors and backhoe which had entered the Mon Desir area to prevent them from doing work.”

Kublalsingh said the crux of the issue was that the highway stretch passes through 13 communities and affects hundreds of people.

“It affects the hydrology of the Oropouche Lagoon. There are a lot of ecological, social and economic issues at stake. They have not done a proper analysis. That is the finding of the Armstrong Report of 2013.”

Kublalsingh asked whether a senior government official owned land in that area, and whether another official had in 2010 sought to unduly influence the tone of a certificate of environmental clearance (CEC.)

Otherwise, he hoped to meet Dr Rowley about the matter.

Newsday asked Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan if work was happening on the contentious segment of the highway without keeping Kublalsingh in the loop. Sinanan told Newsday, “He is quite correct. He did file a matter in court. He has a matter before the court. I will have no comment until the matter is finished.”

Yes because clearly the solution to this problem is more highways and cars. I say bulldoze kubs and everything else, and make the whole country a highway and lets drive our way into 2020.

Like Red Plastic Bag's normal redy eyed response, the corruption in the highway has magically been removed under the PNM. Roundy, who enriched himself at taxpayer's expense, threw out a figure of 900 million missing, and like a shiny object to a retard, RPB went for it, full speed.

[Redman]

Kublalsingh ended when the GORTt agreed to the Armstrong Review.
It proved that it is a great idea with doltish planning
http://www.jcc.org.tt/highway-report.pdf

Yet you guys continue to forget is that this ballz up started under the PNM,blew up under the UNC and is continued under this PNM.
Mean while the lack of planning,analysis and transparency was evident from the start.
IADB pointed out several issues.....that was stated here on Tuner

So YES Kublalsingh was right...they was doing sheit.
Ent it’s us dealing with the results?

2.5.4.1 Hydrology Study
The omission of a hydrology study as part of the EIA is one of its most significant deficiencies. The discharge and flow of water within the wetland, both surface and groundwater is the most important factor that defines that type of terrestrial environment. It is essential in determining soil conditions and therefore the type of vegetation that can be supported, which in turn determines habitat conditions and ultimately the type of fauna

that can survive. If the proposed project could possibly impact negatively on hydrology, for example interrupting sheet flow from some areas and 'drying' them out, it could cause significant changes to its ecology and wetland destruction. This issue was raised in some detail by the Hydrologist representing the HRM.
A quantitative surface and groundwater hydrology model and study of the wetland as a hydrodynamic system must be done before an informed decision can made as to whether this segment of highway should proceed as proposed or not. It should be noted that the EIA in fact cited the wrong aquifers in the description of the environment, referring to the Durham and Sum Sum sands which are formations that exist in Central Trinidad, rather than the Morne L‘Enfer sands which are part of the study area. This was flagged by the Water Resources Agency in its review comments, but not by the EMA in its Review and Assessment Report (RAR), most likely because the WRA submission was dated after that of the RAR.
Interestingly, the lack of a hydrological study to assist with decision-making was flagged in one way or another by most members of the EIA technical review panel but was not included in the RAR. The EMA should have made this issue a ̳showstopper‘ in its decision to grant or deny a CEC, both by virtue of its own determinations, as well as those of the panel members and it did not.
2.5.4.2 Hydraulic Study
While the EIA describes the drains to be constructed and expected peak flows, it does not include the return period and calculations used to develop the drainage plan. The Drainage Division flagged this in the EIA review and the EMA described this deficiency in its Review and Assessment Report.
The response of the MOWT PIU could be interpreted as dismissive, whereby it provided the return period used in the drainage calculation as 1:50 but does not provide the calculation done, stating that it would be provided to the Drainage Division and was not normally part of an EIA. It is untrue to say that the submission of drainage calculations is not normally part of an EIA and the EMAvery often insists on drainage calculations even for smaller projects not requiring EIAs. It is not fully understood why the EMA relented on this point, given the level of concern expressed in consultations vis a vis flooding.

[De Dragon]

The EMA is a rubber stamp, as we shall soon see when the Toco port gets approvals in spite of massive evidence of the irreparable harm that will ensue.

Care to explain with some edvedence?

[Redman]

You keep putting up this issue that some agency is PNM-yet it is the UNC that went ahead with the Point Fortin Highway project against much concerns with how the project was planned and managed.

Dont the results speak for themselves?

Read the Armstrong report, The jerrymandering of the contract,method of payment, etc etc
And here we are years late,billions spent, peoples lives fked up by regular flooding and you still feel its a party thing.

All the agencies that are supposed to protect the interest of the population have been compromised by every govt.

If the Koobs was right then that means he underwent one of the most successful character assassinations in our country's history. A lot of tuners gonna have to make a full 180 on their point of view, especially the ones that jumped on the koobs bandwagon just to poke fun... like that guy slartibart-something...

SIDEBAR: A Summary of the Recommendations of the HRC Report

(those are at pgs 10 & 11 of the Report)

The CEC 1372/2006 contains an extensive list of conditions intended to address the lack of detail presented to the EMA at the time of the application. A significant amount of work still needs to be undertaken to obtain approvals before any additional site activities are carried out, those include satisfying CEC conditions, submission of EIA plans to the EMA, Storm Water and Water Management plans.
In accordance with the TCP Act no further construction work should be carried out on the site until all of the conditions attached to the Planning Permissions have been fulfilled.
It is imperative that a proper Social Impact Assessment be undertaken before a decision is made whether or not to continue with the Debe to Mon Desir segment of the Highway…the SIA studies to consider the alternate routes proposed by the HRM and by MOWT/NIDCO.
In view of the issues relating to the dislocation of persons from their homes it is critical that a Re- settlement Plan should be prepared and submitted to the EMA before any decision is finalised regarding the resettlement of affected persons.
No further engineering operations are to be undertaken on the land at Petit Morne, St. Madeline on which it is proposed to relocate persons residing in the path of the alignment until all necessary approvals are obtained.
Quantitative assessment of the surface and groundwater hydrology model and study of the wetland as a hydrodynamic system should be undertaken in the public interest…
An Environmental Economic Study of this Project must also be undertaken to inform a decision whether or not to proceed with this Highway segment. This should include a cost-benefit analysis….
Off-site impacts, such as the impact of removing and transporting extraordinarily large quantities of aggregate to be sourced from areas far removed from the Project Area need to be determined and measures designed to mitigate any negative impacts.
The HRC recommends that the APDSL studies be continued and consideration be given to staging highway improvement for the south western peninsula to allow the phased development of the transportation system.
The HRC recommends that all relevant state agencies together review their policy for the assessment of damage at Section 3 of the Land Acquisition Act.
In summary, the HRC concluded –

Should the Government decide to proceed with the construction of the Debe-Mon Desir segment, the HRC is of the considered opinion that shortcomings resulting from the inadequacies of proper assessment of the likely impacts on the human and natural environment must first be determined and resolved.

I love how you get all railed up about UNC mismanagement and corruption in the Pt. Fortin highway, while your kant is clamped shut regarding the highway to Toco and the Toco Port, which by all accounts will exceed the damage to the Toco environment that could ever be done by the PFH to its area. Then again, all them hampers that the PNM giving out hadda go in red plastic bags, so you're just singing for your supper

Sinanan: Kublalsingh spreading fake news on Debe project


Work on the bridge at the Oropouche River, Debe nears complete on Saturday. - Marvin Hamilton

Minister of Works and Transport Rohan Sinanan has rubbished claims made by Highway Reroute Movement (HRM) leader, Dr Wayne Kublalsingh, that work had resumed along the Debe to Mon Desir Highway.

On Saturday morning, Sinanan alongside his technical team from the National Infrastructure Development Company (Nidco) – engineering and programme management vice-president Steve Garibsingh, Nidco project manager Dennis Harricharan and ministry officials Navin Ramsingh and Chatram Sookal – sought to clear the air on the recent allegations made by the activist. Sinanan also opted to debunk additional claims directed at the Prime Minister, that he was responsible for recent flooding which ravaged Debe and environs over the past two weeks.

Following the 2016 termination of the highway’s previous contractor, OAS, completion of the Debe to Mon Desir Highway has been on hold. The ministry has since been able to recover $940 million from OAS, but must now use these finds to complete the concrete work OAS was contracted to do.

Speaking on-site at the incomplete Oropouche River Bridge, Sinanan explained, “Based on the Arbitration Court in London, we are bounded and obligated to complete certain works on the bridge and in no way, we can breach an agreement at that level. We have not restarted and are currently protecting the bridge’s infrastructure. We are here to clarify this misinformation that was placed in the public domain by Mr Wayne Kublalsingh.”

Garibsingh agreed and said the bridge was one of the projects that had to be done.

“When the arbitration exercise begun, we were obligated to protect the works that were already completed; a good example is the Oropouche River Bridge. We do not want it deteriorating and funds going to waste. We are doing no other roadworks in this area,” he said.

Harricharan, who has been the site’s project engineer since inception, said the current objective is to complete the highway from Dumfries to Dunlop (Point Fortin) and another connector road from Dumfries Road to Fyzabad.

“The total length of highway we are pursuing is 29.5km and our focus is in Dumfries to Dunlop and the expected date of completion by late 2020, early 2021. This is the extent of our exercise for this point in time and we have broken them up into 12 packages and all are under construction,” Harricharan stated.

On Kublalsingh’s claims that the Prime Minister was responsible for the flooding in the Penal/Debe area because of the construction of the bridge’s berm, Sinanan said the activist was being “unfair”.

“Dr Kublalsingh claimed that it was the building of the berm here that was responsible for the flooding. Misinformation! That berm was built before 2015. If he wants to make these allegations, he knows fully well who he has to make them to. When the government changed in 2015, no work was restarted in this area up to now.”

Ramsingh, the acting chief technical officer, also affirmed that the flooding would not have been as a result of the Oropouche River Bridge.

He said, “This particular structure is wider than the existing bridge so there’s no way this structure could be contributing to flooding in this area. The design was done for a storm return period and runoff (water), much higher than the river. It will not contribute to flooding once it is completed.”
