EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i. “Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program” (OIIAWMIP) is a multitranche financing facility (MFF) project with Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance. Department of Water Resources (DoWR) had completed Project-1 implementation and Project -2 is under progress. Project 2 of the MFF implementation has commenced and will be closed in September 2018. It will modernize irrigation infrastructure of 4 major( Machhagaon, Pattamundai, HLC Range -1 and MCII) and 3 medium( Ramial, Kanjhari and Kansbahal) subprojects and 750 minor lift irrigation (MLI) schemes in selected river basin of Odisha. It will also strengthen 169 WUAs in improved land and water management for increase agricultural production, and restore saline embankments in 12 segments covering about 57 kilometres.

ii. The Executing Agency (EA) is the Department of Water Resources and the Implementing Agency (IA) is Project Management Unit (PMU). PMU / Subproject Implementation Officers (SIOs) undertake civil works through Contractors selected through National Competitive Bidding (NCB).

iii. The “Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP) under Project- 2 includes Irrigation sub-projects and Saline Embankments which are classified as “Category B” according to the Environment Policy (2009) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). An environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) was also prepared to guide the environmental assessment of the subprojects. An Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) reports were prepared for the proposed sub-projects. Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is part of the IEE. EMP implementation responsibility mostly lies with the Contractors.

iv. Under Project -2, 6 sub-projects out of 7 subprojects civil works commenced {three major subprojects (Machhagaon, Pattamundai and HLC Range-1); three medium (Ramial, Kanjhari and Kansbahal)} and 10 saline embankments out of 12 have commenced civil works, the implementation of EMP was Contractors responsibility. EMP is part of civil work contract packages executed by Contractors, but not with the civil works carried out by Pani Panchayat (for irrigation subprojects only). The semi – annual Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR) is prepared for each subproject, the present EMR report pertains to the Ramial subproject.

v. The Ramial sub project was divided into 5 contract packages and one sub-minor package implemented by Pani Panchayat. Out of the 6 contract packages (including sub- minors) by this period 5 contract packages (CW- NCB- RML-01 and CW- NCB- RML-02 both clubbed to one package CW- NCB- RML-01, CW- NCB- RML-03, CW- NCB- RML-04 & CW- NCB- RML-05) have signed the agreement. While Contract package CW- NCB- RML-01 & CW- NCB- RML-02 was clubbed into one contract package and agreement signed on 22 February 2016; CW- NCB- RML-03 contract signed on 4 January 2016 ; CW- NCB- RML-04 contract package agreement done on 12 April 2016 and & CW- NCB- RML-05 agreement signed on 24 December 2016,while the rest of sub-minors are yet to be awarded.

vi. The objective of this report is to assess:(i) compliances of the project with the requirements of ADB’s environmental safeguards contained in ADB’s Environment Policy, (ii) Environmental Monitoring Report – Ramial subproject July 2017 i

Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program

the status of obtaining statutory clearances by the Contractors as per the national environmental laws, Govt. of India and (iii) status of implementation of mitigating measures suggested in the EMP and difficulties encountered during the stages of implementation. The report findings also assist in formulation of corrective actions by PMU that may improve EMP implementation adjustments and in suggesting mechanism for effective supervision during Project-2 implementation

vii. Monitoring and reporting on EMP issues was going well there was no change in the scope of work from the approved contract package.

viii. During the early stages of the project, the SIO staff and contractor representatives at site were explained by ISPMC, Environment Specialist on the environmental safeguard requirements and the required measures that are needed at site along with necessary on job – training / sub project level trainings (on national environmental law requirements, environmental safeguards requirements of ADB, contractual clauses for EMP implementation. PMU also monitoring overall project progress and evaluating project benefits, social and environmental impacts.

ix. As part of capacity building program few persons (SIO staff and Contractors) were trained in the EMP implementation, environmental safeguards and an environmental Check list was introduced to the Contractors through PMU for effective monitoring.

x. The environmental monitoring report preparation for the implementation period i.e. from July 2016 to end of December 2016 is based on the monthly EMP checklist submitted by Contractors through SIO staff, feedback obtained from SIO staff especially Junior engineers inputs during day to day field activities, random field checking of work sites and verification and validation of information submitted by the Contractors and feedback from villagers through consultations by ISPMC Environment specialist form the basis for preparation of the report.

xi. The Ramial sub project doesn’t require any environmental clearances from the State Pollution Control Board or Ministry of Environment & Forests since this subproject is an existing one, no new canals were formed and only strengthening of existing systems were taken up. The canals are not located in the Coastal Regulation Zone, no clearance were needed. The subproject is a pre 1980 project where some of the existing canals existing right of way located in the forest areas, no additional area is needed, hence SIO has written for Working Permission to Forest Department and it is in progress, however since the existing canals are old and restoration of canals are undertaken with in the existing ROW, there is no objection from the Forest Department as per SIO staff.

xii. The Contractors have not established any plants under the sub project. Materials are purchased from the vendors only.

xiii. Overall the EMP implementation was partially satisfactory in all the contract packages due to initial delays in documentation / environmental monitoring and testing.

xiv. As per the environmental assessment and review framework prepared for the project, it states that DoWR wants the surface and ground water quality monitoring to assess

the source of impacts of upstream urbanization and industrialization and to check the level of deterioration due to increased application of fertilizers and pesticides. The suggested monitoring parameters to the contractor have a dual objective to generate the data base for water quality of WRD and to assess the impacts of construction by the Contractors by monitoring turbidity. Silt analysis was also incorporated to ensure quality of silt before disposal. The generated environmental data will be utilised for Integrated Water Resource Management Planning. The SIO & Contractors are responsible for the environmental monitoring and the analysis would be carried out by the accredited laboratories.

xv. The environmental monitoring i.e. testing of surface water and silt was carried out during the month of June 2016, during July to December 2016 there was limited physical activity due to release of water into the canal system for cultivation. Hence SIO and Contractors were requested to adhere to the suggested frequency and undertake environmental monitoring immediately.

xvi. In the subproject, SIO has not received any grievances and no grievances were noted during consultations also.

xvii. A compliance review indicates full compliance with Loan Covenants. Table 12 shows the environmental safeguards assurances and the status of compliances. Conclusions xviii. Overall, EMP implementation is rated “Partially Satisfactory” in all the contract packages Consultations reveal beneficiaries (local communities) are generally happy with the construction program. During this period i.e. between July to December 2016 there was no physical activity due to release of water in the canal for cultivation. No adverse environmental impacts were observed and no grievances noted. The subprojects, after restoration of the canals shall increase economic benefits in the sub project area. xix. Awareness and Capacity development at PMU/SIOs commenced early in the project and included training on ADB environment policy and its implementation. Orientation programs on Environmental safeguards implementation was conducted during January and February 2016 which involves staff and Contractors of Kanjhari subproject also. Topics included ADB safeguards, environmental laws, contract clauses, and reporting needs xx. Subsequently subproject level orientation program was conducted on 24 June 2016 at Kamakhyanagar to overcome the short comings; around 14 persons including the Environment Specialist was present. The key participants were SIO & Contractors staff. xxi. SIO has initiated for obtaining working permission from State Forest Department, however he shall ensure that the clearance shall be available before the coming working season. xxii. EMP implementation timelines have been met in general. However, EMP implementation by Contractors is rated partially satisfactory in all the contract packages with only minor initial delays noted by contractors, mainly due to understanding of the guidelines, contractual constraints and experience of contractor’s staff.

xxiii. Contractor’s responsiveness is increasing and aided in EMP successful implementation as a Monthly Environmental Check was introduced to monitor all subprojects. xxiv. The Contractors shall ensure necessary pending insurances at the earliest as per provisions of the contract, however SIO has written to the contractors for early compliances. xxv. During the period July 2016 to December 2016 there was no physical activity due to release of water into the canal water system for rabi cultivation, the SIO / Contractors had undertaken environmental monitoring i.e surface water and silt during June 2016. The SIO had requested contractors to undertake environmental testing i.e ., testing of surface water, ground water, silt, soil and noise as per the suggested frequency. xxvi. SIO had requested Contractors to provide safety gear/equipment regularly which was not utilized adequately by labour because of discomfort, as observed and informed during monitoring visits, hence there is scope for improvement on the Contractors side to ensure and encourage the labour for a regular use. xxvii. Integrated Borrow area management approach by SIO’s (borrow area test for soil classification, OMC and MDD tests along with agreement with the landowners, obtaining Environmental Clearance from DEIAA/ DEAC) will ensure easy Contractors compliances, as a result this will improve the borrow area management. xxviii. SIO had requested Contractor to conduct AIDS awareness program periodically and the contractor shall ensure that they conduct in the next working season. xxix. The EMR data acquisitions may be archived as information and baseline for use in future DOWR environmental program management options and as anticipated policy enforcement changes evolve over time.

4.2. Compliances Status on EMP Implementation - Ramial Subproject

4.2.1 Ramial Subproject 22. The Ramial Subproject is covering 4 contract packages and sub minor packages are yet to be awarded. Out of the 4 contract packages all contract packages have been awarded by this period except sub-minor Packages. During July 2016 to December 2016 there was limited physical work in progress, as the canal water was released for kharif cultivation. The status of EMP implementation against different environmental components for each contract package is shown in Annexure 3 to 6.

23. Overall the EMP implementation is rated partially satisfactory in all the with only minor delays (testing of surface water, ground water and silt/ soil) noted by some contractors, mainly due to understanding of the guidelines, contractual constraints and experience of the contractors & SIO staff.

24. EMP implementation quality in each contract packages is rated on a 3-point scale (i.e. satisfactory, partially satisfactory and unsatisfactory). Ratings are assigned considering the degree of contractors compliance with EMP condition as determined by reports, periodic monitoring by SIO with ISPMC assistance. The definitions adopted for assessment of the EMP implementation quality ratings are: (i) “Satisfactory” (S) - when overall compliant with EMP; “Partially Satisfactory” (PS) mostly compliant with EMP; and “Un-Satisfactory” (NS)– when inadequately compliant with EMP”.

25. The EMP implementation rating is shown in Table 8. EMP implementation out of 3 contract packages, it is partially satisfactory in all the contract packages.

4.2.1.1 Environmental Monitoring 26. During the design phase sub-project wise IEE’s were prepared incorporating EMP, to make EMP more effective WRD had incorporated Environmental testing and monitoring (Surface water, ground water and silt analysis) as part of environmental budget. As part of technical specification of Contractors BOQ Contractors shall adhere to the mitigation measures as stipulated in the IEE document. As per the environmental assessment and review framework prepared for the project, it states that DoWR wants the surface and ground water quality monitoring to assess the source of impacts of upstream urbanization and industrialization and to check the level of deterioration due to increased application of fertilizers and pesticides. The suggested monitoring parameters to the contractor have a dual objective to generate the data base for water quality of WRD and to assess the impacts of construction by the Contractors by monitoring turbidity. Silt analysis was also incorporated to ensure quality of silt before disposal. The generated environmental data will be utilised for Integrated Water Resource Management Planning. The SIO & contractors are responsible for the environmental monitoring and the analysis would be carried out by the approved laboratories.

27. The details of provisions under EMP as per IEE are detailed in Table 9 which also provides the number of locations against the proposed is also indicated. The analysis of the data is as follows:

4.2.1.1.1 Ground Water Quality Monitoring 28. The project -2 do not have a provision of providing tube wells in the on the sides of the canals. However in the subproject contractors had not drilled any tube wells under three contract packages for providing drinking water to his labour. However since he is using existing tube wells located near the camps, hence he was requested by SIO to undertake water quality testing from a accredited laboratories immediately, the results shall be included in the next monitoring report.

4.2.1.1.2 Surface Water Quality Monitoring 29. As per the Initial Environment Examination Report prepared for the subproject there is a provision for testing the surface water in 6 locations. The environmental testing budget was not part of contractor’s responsibility; however SIO had carried out testing from reservoir and one sample from RD 100m of Right main canal during June 2016. Though agreements were conducted between January and April 2016, the canal water supply was closed. Hence SIO had

Environmental Monitoring Report – Ramial sub project July 2017 9

Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program

undertaken during June 2016. The reservoir water shall act a reference of baseline information. The results of the analysis was presented in the previous EMR, during this period i.e. between July to December 2016 limited activity was in progress due to release of water in the canal system between 1st July to end of November 2016, hence limited work was in progress. However SIO and Contractors were requested to undertake surface water testing immediately adhering to the suggested frequency.

4.2.1.1.3 Soil Quality Monitoring 30. In the study area, the command area is dominated by three classes of soils.

• Khateibereni Soil series (Oxic Quartzite) Soils are dark yellowish brown, light textured and well drained, acidic in reaction and low in organic content. The soil is low in available nitrogen, moderate in available potash and low in available phosphorus. The soil is shallow and found in upper topography. The soil is not suitable for crop agriculture and is recommended for pasture development.

• Palasdangi Soil series (Fine Loamy) This soil series is yellowish brown in colour and loamy sand to sandy loam in composition and is well drained. The soil is acidic in reaction, low in organic content, has low phosphorus content and medium in nitrogen and potash content.. This soil is suitable for irrigated agriculture.

• Saala Series (Fine clayey). The soils are moderately permeable, acidic in reaction and high in organic content. They have high nitrogen and potash content and medium to high phosphorus content. The soils are highly suitable for irrigated agriculture.

31. The texture of this soil is sandy loam, silty loam; clay loam and heavy loam and it is very fertile in nature while the laterite soil is generally hard, infertile and acidic in nature.

32. However the soil samples adjacent to the canal embankment were to be tested as per the EMP provisions of the IEE however the SIO was not aware hence he was requested to undertake immediately.

4.2.1.1.4 Silt Quality Monitoring 33. Desiltation of canals are proposed now out of 4 contract packages only 3 packages are in force (Contract Package 1 & 2 merged in to a single package). Though IEE reports suggested for testing of 6 silt samples in the subproject. However SIO has undertaken testing of silt in 3 locations during the period covering one sample from each contract package.

34. The silt sample from contract package RML -01 was collected from Sasoposi RD 6.00km (Approx) of left main canal; for RML-03 it was collected from RD 5.00 km of Right main canal and for RML-04 it was RD 4.416 km of Kanpura Distributary. All the samples were tested during 23 June 2016. The results of the silt analysis is presented in the previous EMR. Since there was no desiltation activity during this period i.e. due to release of canal water, hence SIO & Contractor was requested to undertake immediately.

4.2.1.1.5 Noise Quality Monitoring 35. The ambient air quality standards in respect of noise in the project area for each contract package under Ramial were to be monitored on an hourly basis for each contract package which is under implementation. The noise testing was neither part of IEE nor BOQ. However after the ADB mission reviews visit during May 2016 it suggested and accordingly SIO had requested Contractors for undertaking the noise monitoring at the earliest. To ascertain the need for mitigative measures to be adopted by Contractors during construction period i.e. Noise emanating from vehicular movements, blowing of horns, and operation of construction equipment like concrete mixer, movement of construction equipments and sound producing instruments etc., were measured for a day during day and night.

36. The noise monitoring reports for each contract package shall be enclosed in the next environmental monitoring report.

37. However, the present work locations are away from the residential areas where the noise levels get diluted hence no impact of noise anticipated, in addition contractors were also instructed to do maintenance of the vehicle and equipments which will also reduce the noise levels further. So Contractor was instructed to adhere to the ambient air quality standards specified under the rules and shall undertake measures for abatement of noise including use of silencer for the vehicle if necessary and sending equipments for maintenance regularly.

4.2.1.2 Plantation Details

38. The IEE has identified that there are some trees within the existing right of way of the embankments, which might get affected due to construction and also to enhance the aesthetics of the area a provision for plantation has been indicated for in the IEE report. The contractor BOQ doesn’t have a provision for Plantation (Table -10). However at present no trees were cut and no plantation was carried out in the subproject areas, however if required as part of compensatory plantation the DoWR shall request State Forest Department in undertaking plantation where ever surplus ROW is available after completion of civil works

4.2.1.3 Consultation (Focus Group Discussion) with Villagers 39. The public consultations were conducted in three villages (Sasaposi, Patabeda and Kanpura villages) that are located in the Ramial subproject, during June 2016 and the details were submitted in the previous EMR report. Since there was not much physical activity the consultations will be undertaken during the next EMR report preparation.

46. The ISPMC will have an Environment Specialist, Resettlement Specialist and Indigenous group Specialist who will support the PMU in advising and monitoring the EMP measures with help of SIO Staff and WUAs. The ISPMC will assist in reviewing all the contractors’ monthly environmental reports submitted by Contractors through SIO in consultation with PMU. They will assist the PMU in preparing environmental monitoring reports and other reports like preparation of IEEs, RP and social assessment reports.

Responsible for carrying out monitoring measures

47. As per the “ Environmental Assessment and Review Frame work (EARF) prepared for the project it states that “PMU will be responsible to undertake (i) environmental screening at subproject identification stage; (ii) preparation of IEEs/EIAs at subproject appraisal stage; and (iii) environmental management and mitigation during subproject implementation and operational stage. At appraisal, IEEs /EIAs will be done with the engagement of consulting firms who would be guided by the project environmental specialist.

48. Environmental management and mitigation will be undertaken by the construction contractors during construction phase under the supervision of the designated staff in the subproject management offices (SIOs) and monitored by PMU environmental cell. The consultants mobilized for institutional strengthening and project management will also be entrusted to provide necessary capacity development of the DOWR engineers and SIO (S.E for major sub project and E.E for medium subproject) in terms of environmental planning and management”.

49. . The PMU / SIO of DoWR assisted by the WUAs, and the Institutional Strengthening and Project Management Consultants (ISPMC) will be guiding the implementation of the EMP. The SIO (S.E for major sub project and E.E for medium subproject). The field level Junior Engineer shall be responsible for monitoring the EMP activities of the Contractors on a day to day basis. The SIO staff and WUAs with the help of ISPMC, Environment Specialist will monitor the EMP implementation of the Contractor.

50. While the implementation of sub-minors shall be on WUAs and monitored by SIO. Pani Panchayat Support Unit (PPSU) is the state level apex agency who is responsible for strengthening the PP activities. PPSU - Environmental Monitoring Specialist be made responsible for the monitoring of WUAs along with SIO staff and these will work under the overall guidance of ISPMC.

51. The Environmental Framework prepared for the Project -2 states “Environmental management and mitigation will be undertaken by the construction contractors during construction phase. The PMU and SIOs as well as contractors were guided by the ISPMC Environmental Specialist in implementation of the EMPs and associated monitoring and reporting activities.

Environmental Monitoring Report – Ramial sub project July 2017 13

52. Systematic monitoring of the EMP was facilitated by a check list developed specifically for SIO- J.Es and contractors. The format was part of the IEE report and subsequently during January & February 2016 orientation program the format was explained.

53. The SIO staff and contractors representatives at site were explained on the environmental aspects and the required safeguards measures that are needed at site along with necessary on job – training / sub project level trainings (on national environmental law requirements, environmental safeguards requirements of ADB, contractual clauses for EMP implementation).

Capacity Building

54. During January 2016 and February 2016 Capacity building on EMP implementation was carried out by PMU with the help of ISPMC Consultants. So far 88 persons (Senior DoWR staff, SIO staff and Contractors also) were trained (which includes staff and Contractors from Ramial Subproject also) SIO staff and Contractor representatives in the EMP implementation and as a result Contractor compliances had improved to a greater extent.

55. The orientation program on Environmental Safeguards for Kanjhari subproject was held on 24 June 2016 at Kamakyanagar, Dhenkanal District ( Covering the staff and contractors of Ramial and Kanjhari Subprojects) to bring awareness on EMP implementation to SIO field staff and contractor representatives. There were 14 numbers of participants including the speaker. One Junior Engineer for each contract package was identified who will act as an Environmental Co- ordinator for monitoring the field level EMP implementation. This mechanism had helped in timely EMP compliances but with some delays

6.0 COMPLIANCES STATUS OF PREVIOUS EMP REPORT - SUB PROJECT WISE 56. For the Ramial Subproject i.e. contract package wise status of compliances with reference to the previous Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR) is stated in Table 11. As this is the first Environmental Monitoring Report for the subprojects so there are no previous compliances reported pending.

8.0 CONCLUSIONS 58. Overall, EMP implementation is rated “Partially Satisfactory” in all the contract packages Consultations reveal beneficiaries (local communities) are generally happy with the construction program. During this period i.e. between July to December 2016 there was no physical activity due to release of water in the canal for cultivation. No adverse environmental impacts were observed and no grievances noted. The subprojects, after restoration of the canals shall increase economic benefits in the sub project area. 59. Awareness and Capacity development at PMU/SIOs commenced early in the project and included training on ADB environment policy and its implementation. Orientation programs on Environmental safeguards implementation was conducted during January and February 2016

which involves staff and Contractors of Kanjhari subproject also. Topics included ADB safeguards, environmental laws, contract clauses, and reporting needs 60. Subsequently subproject level orientation program was conducted on 24 June 2016 at Kamakhyanagar to overcome the short comings; around 14 persons including the Environment Specialist was present. The key participants were SIO & Contractors staff. 61. SIO has initiated for obtaining working permission from State Forest Department, however he shall ensure that the clearance shall be available before the coming working season. 62. EMP implementation timelines have been met in general. However, EMP implementation by Contractors is rated partially satisfactory in all the contract packages with only minor initial delays noted by contractors, mainly due to understanding of the guidelines, contractual constraints and experience of contractor’s staff. 63. Contractor’s responsiveness is increasing and aided in EMP successful implementation as a Monthly Environmental Check was introduced to monitor all subprojects. 64. The Contractors shall ensure necessary pending insurances at the earliest as per provisions of the contract, however SIO has written to the contractors for early compliances. 65. During the period July 2016 to December 2016 there was no physical activity due to release of water into the canal water system for rabi cultivation, the SIO / Contractors had undertaken environmental monitoring i.e surface water and silt during June 2016. The SIO had requested contractors to undertake environmental testing i.e ., testing of surface water, ground water, silt, soil and noise as per the suggested frequency. 66. SIO had requested Contractors to provide safety gear/equipment regularly which was not utilized adequately by labour because of discomfort, as observed and informed during monitoring visits, hence there is scope for improvement on the Contractors side to ensure and encourage the labour for a regular use. 67. Integrated Borrow area management approach by SIO’s (borrow area test for soil classification, OMC and MDD tests along with agreement with the landowners, obtaining Environmental Clearance from DEIAA/ DEAC) will ensure easy Contractors compliances, as a result this will improve the borrow area management. 68. SIO had requested Contractor to conduct AIDS awareness program periodically and the contractor shall ensure that they conduct in the next working season. 69. The EMR data acquisitions may be archived as information and baseline for use in future DOWR environmental program management options and as anticipated policy enforcement changes evolve over time.
