EXECUTI VE SUMMARY

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

i. The “Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program” (OIIAWMIP) is an initiative by the Department of Water Resources (DoWR) of the Government of Odisha. It is intended to undertake the improvement of irrigation service delivery with Pani Panchayat(PP) empowerment and to enhance the productivity and sustainability of irrigated agriculture, thereby contributing to rural poverty reduction by increasing rural economic growth in the four northern river basins (Brahmani, Baitarani, Burhabalanga, and Subrenerekha river basins) and a part of Mahanadi Delta areas. The Government of Odisha had obtained a multi- tranche financing facility(MFF) loan from the Asian Development Bank(ADB), titled MFF N0. 0022 and Loan No. 2444 IND(INDIA). The loan includes funds for upgrading or undertaking extension, renovation and modernization(ERM) work in 6 major, 9 medium and 4 creek irrigation projects. ii. The “Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program” (OIIAWMIP) is classified as Category B according to the Environment Policy (2002) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Initial environmental examinations (IEEs) were undertaken for two major and three medium irrigation schemes, and two sample community-based minor lift irrigation schemes during the Project planning and Technical Assistance(PPTA) stage; IEEs for four major and 2 medium were prepared during the Component for Technical Assistance(CTA) stage. An environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) was also prepared during the PPTA stage, to guide the environmental assessment of further subprojects. Kanjhari is not one of the subprojects included by either the PPTA or CTA for preparation of IEEs. The present report deals with the Initial Environmental Examination Report for the Kanjhari subproject, as per the new ADB Safeguard Policy Statement(SPS), June, 2009. 2. EXTENT OF THE I EE STUDY iii. The IEE is normally part of the Appraisal Report. However, for the Kanjhari Sub- project, an IEE has not been prepared during either the PPTA or CTA period; in addition, the detailed project report for the Kanjhari sub-project was only recently prepared. Therefore, this subproject required the preparation of a complete IEE. Specific environmental aspects were assessed in September and October, 2011. This report has been prepared on the basis of site visits and the completion of ADB’s Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist. 3. METHODOLOGY iv. The general methodology adopted to accomplish the Initial Environmental Examination includes: • Review of legal and statutory requirements; • Review of feasibility study; • Preliminary reconnaissance to identity environmentally sensitive issues relating to the subproject and base line conditions; • Collection of Primary and secondary data; • Stakeholders Consultations; • Identify and assess the potential impacts of the subproject on the base line conditions and recommend mitigation measures to offset the identified adverse impacts; • Formulate Environmental Management Plan including review of Institutional set up and • Capacity Building.

4. DESCRI PTI ON OF THE PROJECT v. The Kanjhari medium irrigation sub-project is one of the sub-projects that have been proposed under the OIIAWMIP. Kanjhari is located in Baitrani Basin; it has been constructed across the river Kanjhari, a tributary of Baitarani Basin near revenue village Chakka of Keonjhargarh tahasil, Keonjhar district. The dam lies between latitude – 210.35’.394” N to 210.36’.048” & longitude 850.43’.470” to 850.43’.421”E to (Toposheet No.73G/10). The scheme falls under the North Central Plateau agro-climatic zone of Odisha and Agro –ecoregion 12 of agro-ecological region of India characterized by hot sub humid eco-regions with red and lateritic soils (J2 C3/4 of Agro-Ecological Regions of India, National Bureau of Soil Survey(NBSS Publ. 24). The Kanjhari project was started under World Bank Assistance in the year 1978-79 and completed in the year 1990-91. At present, the dam is providing irrigation to 9,740 hectares(ha) during Khariff & 2800 ha during Rabi covering Keonjhar, Ghatgaon & Patna Tahasil under the ayacut area of the project. The dam consists of a Homogeneous rolled fill earth dam of 1245 meters(m) length, 29.50 m height having Central masonry ogee crested chute Spillway of length 111.50 m. The crest level of the Spillway is 402.50 m, fitted with 7 Nos of radial gates of size 12 m x 6 m having flood discharge capacity of 2286 Cumecs and its live storage capacity of 3451.66 Hecta-meter(Ham). The entire command area is irrigated over both sides of the canal. The distribution system consists of two main canals, 1 No. Distributary, 13 Nos Minors and 47 Nos of Sub-Minors. The total length of the distribution system, including the Left Main Canal(LMC) & Right Main Canal(RMC), is 176.252 kilometer(Km).

5. SCOPE OF WORK vi. The Initial Environment Examination(IEE) has been prepared for Kanjhari subproject which covers: • Renovation and modernization of the canal system by regulators, without increasing the command area. This entails the restoration back to the designed command area, without extending and widening the canal systems, and minimizing the losses by repairing the existing structures, and if necessary, the construction of additional structures as per the field requirement. Improvement of dam top road and repair of horizontal and vertical drains of the dam. • Bringing the canals to the original design section and providing necessary lining or guard walls as necessity and site conditions in the left and right main canals, distributaries and minor and sub-minor to arrest the present seepages seepage as well as canal breaches caused by shrinkage and cracking of embankments. • Improving hydraulic performance of main system canals, checking for prism shape and stability, and also works to reduce rainfall runoff erosion of sediment into the canals. • Remodeling of existing Hydraulic control structures for improved flow control and flow measurement along the left and right bank main canals and to off taking minors and sub- minors canals. • Construction of new and repair of cross drainage structures like and properly designed drainage inlets to minimize entry of sediment into the canals. • Providing additional new bridges and repairing the existing ones for improved access across canals. • Renovating the outlets of the main canal, distributaries, minor and sub-minors. • Improving the banks of left main canal, right main canal and Gambharia minor is built in to the sub-project for a length of 42 km for better access • Providing some tube wells along the entire length of left and right main canal, distributaries, minors and sub-minors was kept to provide water during canal closure period.

6. ENVI RONMENTAL CATEGORY OF THE PROJECT vii. This sub- project is also classified as “Category B” as per Environmental Guidelines for Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. This project is of a similar nature to the sub-projects of the PPTA and CTA, which were prepared earlier. This sub-project does not have any major environmentally sensitive issues within the existing project area. There are no wild life sanctuaries or national parks, eco-sensitive zones, protected monuments, endangered or exotic species of plants are present in the region, except movement of wild elephants in the project environs. Although expansion and modernization of existing sub-projects (Irrigation / River valley) may involve Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) clearance, the present sub-project does not extend to an additional command areas; hence, no clearance is required. Since the project components include mainly renovation works, with no extension and widening of the canal system, the impact on natural resources is negligible, temporary and mitigable. 7. PROJECT ALTERNATI VES viii. The project has little or no scope for alternatives in terms of locations, as it is an existing project and the scope of the present project is to improve the performance of an existing system without increasing the command and to cater to the needs of the people. The originally designed areas will be improved, through the rehabilitation of sections of the canals and by modernizing the system with regulators, minimizing the losses by repairing structures and constructing additional structures as per requirements. The investment costs are largely for the rehabilitation and upgrading of the existing systems. As the original design appears to be adequate, alternative solutions for rehabilitation are not foreseen at this time.

8. CLEARANCES REQUI RED FOR THE SUBPROJECT ix. After reviewing the various applicable environmental acts and statutes, as applicable to Government of India, Govt. of Odisha and ADB some of the clearances that are to be obtained by SIO(Subproject Implementation Officer: Superintendent Engineer for major sub project and Executive Engineer for medium subproject) / Contractor are: a.

Pollution under Control Certificates - Vehicles and machineries engaged in the construction of the project will comply with the Motors Vehicle act and will be required to obtain pollution under control certificate. 9. BASELI NE ENVI RONMENTAL STATUS x. The baseline environmental overview is as follows : a. Topography- The elevation in the project command area varies from 380 to 400 m; the highest contour is 488 m near the dam as per SOI Toposheet F45N10 & F45N14. The elevation in the region is around 50 m and the slope ranging from 10-20 meters/ kilometer. b. Climate -The average annual rainfall is 1535 mm. in the district. The average annual rainfall in sub project area based on rainfall from 176 to 2012 is 1280mm. The climate of the district is characterized by an oppressively hot summer with high humidity during March to July, and cold from November to February. Summer generally commences in the month of March. In the project area the average yearly evaporation average for the last 23 years is 584 mm. c. Geology & Soils - While the geology of the dam site consists of rocks of massive granite and dolerite intrusive, these rocks are exposed as small outcrops on the right bank and as a large exposure on the right edge of the riverbed. The dolerite dykes trending in N-S direction are exposed on the abutment hills and as scattered outcrops on the left bank. A thin dyke of dolerite trending E-W cut across the axis around RD 720 m. The subproject falls under earthquake risk zone-II (Low damage risk zone) of India The project area covers Kendhujhar, Patna, and Ghatgaon tehsils, the soils in these tehsils are mainly Balisahi series and Raghubera series. d. Landuse - The landuse of the project area is dam is surrounded by forest, while the left canal system in the initial reach pass through the reserved forest land, protected forest, village forest and passes through mostly agricultural lands, waste lands like rocky outcrops or unculturable waste lands, and small local nallas and a very small portion of the left canal and Padampur minor of the left canal passes through the elephant transit path at Padmakesarpur R.F. While the right main canal also originates in the reserved forest, protected forest and village forests and passes through mostly crop and waste land like rocky outcrops or unculturable waste lands, local nallas and also from Poipani R.F. The project sites are not located in areas prone to water logging, salinization and flash floods. e. Agro-climatic condition - he Keonjhar district falls in the North central plateau agro- climatic zone of Odisha. The district is primarily an agricultural district but rich in mineral deposits and has vast deposits of Iron, Manganese and Chrome Ores. f. Water Resources - The water quality of the Kanjhari river is not monitored. The Kanjhari dam catchment area is forest land. It is likely that water quality of this river is very pristine, apart from some erosion, as there are no pollution sources in its catchment area as it is mainly a forest area. The general ground water depth in the command area was enquired and it was found the depths of the existing tube wells are varying from 40 to 100’ in the head villages and 200’ to 250’ in the tail end villages. The water level gets reduced after the canal water supply gets stopped as observed by the tail end villagers.

g. Biodiversity - The dominant species of the study area are Sal, Asan, Jamu, Kendu, Arjuna, Kurei, Teak, Ghurudu, Eucalyptus, Barakoli, Dhaki and Pokagungha, etc., in the forest areas, while Sal, Mahua, neem, mangium, mango, peepal, tamarind, custard apple and bamboo are common in the command area. Important animal species found in the forests of the subproject /district include elephant, deer, bear, monkeys, peafowl, Red Jungle fowl, Red Spur fowl, Black Partridge, Grey Horn Bill, Green Pigeon and Ducks. As per the Red data book of IUCN elephants are endangered species and sloth bear occupies vulnerable status and rest of the animals are least concerned. There are no government notified core habitations like elephant reserves or sanctuaries with in the area of influence of the project area. As per the Keonjhar district wild life census there are 41 elephants found in the forests of the district, but near the subproject mostly elephants from the Jharkhand state move during harvesting period in search of food. The forest department has identified the path where movement of elephant is taking place called as elephant transit path which happens to pass through certain sections of the command area and the catchment area and a small portion of the left main can tail end portion passes through that elephant transit path. The elephants move from one forest to another. i. Demography - The project covers 87 villages with 19 PPs covering Ghatagaon, Keonjhar and Patna blocks with 62199 numbers of beneficiaries. As per the 2011 census, the project benefited villages have nearly 13,550 households with a population of 58643. The percentage of Scheduled caste(SC) population in these villages is around 7.65%, the Scheduled Tribes (ST) population is around 57.12% and the literacy is around 57.77%. 10. ANTI CI PATED ENVI RONMENTAL I MPACTS AND MI TI GATI ON MEASURES: xi. The potential positive and negative impacts were identified in relation to design, construction and operation for the proposed renovation works. The negative environmental impacts, both direct and indirect, associated with the project location and mitigative measures, and the impacts arising due to the construction phase of the project will be temporary and short term in nature. xii. The direct and short term impacts concern the implementation stage of the ERM works which can be mitigable with environmental management plan(EMP) implementation. Mitigation reduce measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Special measures like identification of forest areas, potential farmers willing to give earth for borrow areas in private land and protection and safety measures for workers have been addressed in the EMP. 11. I NFORMATI ON DI SCLOSURE, CONSULTATI ON AND PARTI CI PATI ON xiii. In the most recent notification of the Ministry of Environment and Forests of 14 September 2006, (referred to in section III E of this IEE) modernization of irrigation projects does not require Public Consultation. However, Public Consultation and Information Disclosure is an essential element of the ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009, and included in the internal project procedures. The process of stakeholder, public consultation as well as outcome of consultations and information disclosure adopted for the subproject has been developed. xiv. The subproject stake holders of the project include: • Project benefitted communities or stakeholders or Pani Panchayat members, • Institutional stake holders such as Pollution Control Board(PCB), government institutions like Water Resource Department, State Pollution Control Board, Forest Department, Fisheries department, revenue etc., xv. The Kanjhari subproject benefited community information, dissemination and consultation sessions took place during the Participatory “Walkthrough” Survey, from the 14th to 25th September, 2011, in which farmers took part, including the members of the Pani Panchayat. During this Walkthrough Survey, PP the farmers were consulted on the need for rehabilitation, and their ideas, concerns and requests have been reflected in IEE document. The Consultation was carried out in six different villages (Poipani, Sarasposi, Boda Jamuposi, Chaka, Saradhapur

v IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4

Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIWMIP)

and Bolaniposi) as part of the environmental screening covering the head, middle and tail end villages. xvi. The Institutional stake holders that were consulted were: Divisional Forest Office, Keonjhar, State Pollution Control Board, Regional Office, Keonjhar, District Fisheries Department, Keonjhar, NIC Keonjhar, and non-government organization(NGO’s). The feedback and suggestions obtained from these departments were used in screening the subproject and planning the activities. xvii. Summary findings of Consultation sessions with benefited communities are: • The PP is keen for the proposed renovation and assured that they will cooperate in all implementation aspects. • The tail end villagers want to see the canal levels rectified and re-sectioning needs to be done which would get them water. • The villagers want the breaches rectified and the lining of the guard walls for the main canals, as well as the sub-minor and minor repair of some structures. • The Villagers are ready to accommodate the short term impacts that may arise during construction phase • At present, farmers are depending on inorganic pesticides and fertilizers; they need to be made aware of the ill effects of these, and awareness need to be developed on organic farming. The environmental awareness program will be required, focusing on the usage of banned pesticide, as well as personal safety during application of pesticide. • At present, farmers are not aware of the quality of soil and water quality; they require support from the allied departments. • Planning of construction activities can be initiated after the kharif crop and proper consultation with PP/ VSS and the forest department in establishing labour camps and equipment at the sites need to be done.

12. GRI EVANCE REDRESS MECHANI SM xviii. The grievance mechanism for the subproject has been developed and discussed in the IEE report. 13. ENVI RONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) xix. An EMP is mandatory and consists of the following features : (i) Institutional Arrangement required for the subproject; (ii) staffing requirement for EMP implementation; (iii) Reporting System and the responsibilities of different institutions involved in EMP implementation (iv) Environmental Monitoring plan with the check list of anticipated impacts and suggested mitigation measures and the responsibility of different institutions and also stages of implementation (v) Suggesting Environmental monitoring plan with showing locations of monitoring, frequency and stage of monitoring; (vi) performance indicators for the subproject (vii) Environmental Monitoring and Management Costs and (viii) Capacity building requirements. 14. RECOMMENDATI ON xx. Recommends the subproject to be rated Category B for the following reasons: (i)There are no significant adverse impacts associated with this project. Instead the project is expected to improve irrigation facilities and enhance economic growth of the area; (ii) Increased irrigation will also help in planting of more trees thereby increasing the environmental conditions of the area adding to the greenery and general aesthetics of the area; (iii) The indirect benefits of the project will be lowered levels of out migration as the communities will have more opportunity of securing income from within the village; (iv) There will be growth in living standard of people,

vi IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4

Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIWMIP)

which will encourage proper education, social awareness, health facility and prosperity amongst the people; (v) The IEE clearly states in its findings that there will be no significant impact in the local environmental condition due to construction and operation of the project and preference shall be given to the local labour for carrying out the work. xxi. Mitigation - Canal system close to reserved, protected and village forest areas at many places, dam portion, left canal tail end portion and Padampur minor falls under elephant transit paths, so adequate preventive measures need to be observed such as not establishing construction camps/ plants and material in these areas. xxii. The SIO in consultation with WUAS had identified potential borrow areas in private land which will also reduce impacts arising due to borrowing in the forest areas etc. Contractor may be required to abide by regulations pertaining to “sensitive / restricted” areas as well as by observing decent working practices (strict monitoring in not cutting any trees for fire wood in the forest areas, not hunting any wild life) and providing facilities at construction camp. 15. CONCLUSI ON xxiii. The IEE has assessed potential environmental impacts associated with the subproject. There are no adverse impacts that are significant and complex in nature expected from implementation of this subproject. xxiv. The subproject is expected to improve the existing degraded irrigation infrastructure and will be put to beneficial use to the society. This will boost agriculture growth in the area and will bring prosperity to the region. xxv. By improving the irrigation infrastructure economic disparity between head end and tail end users will be reduced. xxvi. The potential adverse impacts are minimal as no additional land is required, and the impacts that may arise with construction and operation because of vicinity to forest and elephant paths can be mitigated through stringent monitoring and adopting strict construction practices by the Contractor and water users associations(WUAs)and implementing the suggested EMP measures. xxvii. IEE assessment confirmed the subproject Category B classification and will not require detailed EIA to be undertaken except obtaining required permits and certification as suggested in the IEE report.

1. I NTRODUCTI ON

1.1 Project Background

1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed with national and state governments to fund the project in Odisha, which will include support for irrigated agriculture development and integrated water resources management, with a loan of $189 million in the form of a sector loan to utilize multi-tranche financing facility (MFF). The Government of India is promoting state-level sector reforms through its National Water Policy (NWP) 1987 and 2002, which advocates Participatory Irrigation Management(PIM) and Integrated Water Resource Management(IWRM) to promote and sustain more efficient water use. Agriculture is the backbone of the Odisha and rural poverty remains highest in India. However, the low performance of the existing irrigation infrastructure impairs agricultural productivity growth and diversification. About 30% of the present command area hardly receives any irrigation, due to poor system design, lack of field channels, limited accountability in system management to farmers, and insufficient maintenance. The Government of Odisha, in compliance with its State Water Policy, is prioritizing the improved performance of existing infrastructure in partnership with WUAs, as this is considered the fastest and most cost-effective way to expand reliable irrigation and to serve as a conduit to intensified, high value agriculture.

2. To support the process, in the late 1990s, the Government of Odisha gradually developed the policy, planning and institutional basis for irrigation and water resources. Specific steps taken included: (i) promulgation of the State Water Policy and State Water Plan adopting PIM and IWRM principles, (ii) establishment of a legal framework for WUAs, (iii) substantial increase in the water tariff and Operation and Maintenance(O&M) financing, and (iv) capacity strengthening of the Department of Water Resources (DOWR). As an effort towards attaining these objectives, the Government had applied for MFF No. 0022 and Loan No 2444 IND from the Asian Development Bank, and as a result, has started the “Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program” (OIIAWMIP). The project has a wide objective to improve the irrigation service delivery with PP empowerment to enhance the productivity and sustainability of irrigated agriculture, thereby contributing to rural poverty reduction by increasing rural economic growth and reducing poverty in the four northern river basins (Brahmani, Baitarani, Burhabalanga, and Subrenerekha river basins) and a part of Mahanadi Delta areas. The executing agency is the Department of Water Resources (DoWR). The DoWR, Odihsa will be the implementing agency and the projects are operated through a Project Management Unit (PMU), and the works will be outsourced to private contractors selected under National Competitive Bidding.

3. The Institutional Strengthening and Project Management(ISPM) consulting services recruited were assisting in the preparation and implementation of sub-projects, and working closely with the Project Management Unit (PMU).

4. The “Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program” (OIIAWMIP) was classified as category B according to the Environment Policy (2002) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). An initial environmental examination (IEE) were undertaken for two major irrigation (Taladanda and Mahandi Chitrotpala Island Irrigation) and three medium irrigation schemes(Sunei, Gohira and Remal), and two sample community-based minor lift irrigation schemes during PPTA stage; and four major irrigation schemes (Machhagaon, Pattamundai, HLC Range -1 and Jajpur) and 2 medium irrigation (Kanbahal and Ramiala) during CTA stage. The following sub-projects were proposed under the program (Table1.1). An environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) was also prepared to guide the environmental assessment of further subprojects. Kanjhari is not one of the subprojects included by either PPTA or CTA for the preparation of IEEs. OIIAWMIP Project is to be implemented in 3 tranches; this sub-project is part of tranche -2. The present report deals with the Initial Environmental Examination Report for the Kanjhari subproject, as per the new ADB Safeguard Statement June 2009.

1.2 Purpose of the report 5. Kanjhari irrigation system is one of the sub-projects to be funded under Tranche -2. The sub project proposes rehabilitation and resectioning of an existing medium irrigation scheme. Kanjhari irrigation subproject is a medium irrigation scheme in Baitarani basin. It has been constructed across the river Kanjhari, a tributary of the Baitarani basin near revenue village Chakka of Keonjhargarh Tahasil, Keonjhar District. The Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report investigates the environmental impacts based on the preliminary design and estimates. It is mandatory that the sub- project considered for implementation complies with all relevant environmental requirements of the Government of India, the State Government of Odisha, and ADB’s safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) 2009. The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification of 2006, Govt. of India is the basis for environmental assessment. The expansion and modernization of existing projects or activities listed in the Schedule to this notification with addition of capacity beyond the limits specified for the concerned sector, project or activities which cross the threshold limits given in the Schedule, after expansion or modernization require environmental clearance. As this sub-project involves renovation of the existing canals to its original designed capacity, repair of existing structures and construction of some new additional structures (Village Road Bridges, outlets etc) are involved in the project without increase in the command areas or no new canal are proposed, so doesn’t require any environmental clearances.

1.3 Extent of the I EE study 6. The IEE is normally part of the Appraisal Report. However, for the Kanjhari Sub- project an IEE has not been prepared, either during the PPTA or CTA periods; the detailed project report for the Kanjhari sub-project was prepared only recently. Therefore, this subproject required a preparation of a complete IEE. Specific environmental aspects were assessed in September and October, 2011. This report has been prepared on the basis of a site visit and the completion of ADB’s Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist.

1.4 Methodology 7. The general methodology adopted to accomplish the Initial Environmental Examination includes:

• Review of legal and statutory requirements; • Review of feasibility study reports and previous reports; • Preliminary reconnaissance to identity environmentally sensitive issues relating to the subproject and base line conditions; • Collection of Primary and secondary data; • Stakeholders Consultations and consultation with experts and institutions; • Identification and assessment of the potential impacts of the subproject on the base line conditions and the recommendation of mitigation measures to offset the identified adverse impacts; • Formulation of an Environmental Management Plan, including the review of the Institutional set up and; • Capacity Building.

The review includes sector-specific environmental policies and regulations of the Government of India, State Govt of Odisha, ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement, June, 2009, and the administrative framework of various agencies, such as the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), the Pollution Control Boards and other bodies associated with the implementation of the proposed subproject.

A. MANDATORY REQUI REMENTS (FUNDI NG AGENCY)

2.1 Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement (June 2009) 11. The following are the requirements under Asian Development Bank’s safeguard policy. 2.2 Environment Categorization 12. ADB uses a classification system to reflect the significance of a project’s potential environmental impacts. A project’s category is determined by the category of its most environmentally sensitive component, including direct, indirect, cumulative, and induced impacts in the project’s area of influence. Each proposed project is scrutinized as to its type, location, scale, and sensitivity and the magnitude of its potential environmental impacts. Projects are assigned to one of the following four categories based on the Operations Manual Section F1 and Operational Procedures (OP) March 2010: Category A: Projects with potential for significant adverse environmental impacts which are irreversible, diverse, or unprecedented. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required to address significant impacts. Category B: Projects judged to have some adverse environmental impacts, but of a lesser degree and or significance than those of category A projects. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether or not significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report. Category C: Projects unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or “IEE is required, although environmental implications are still reviewed. Category F1: Projects are classified as category F1, if they involve a credit line though a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply on environmental management system; otherwise all subprojects will result in insignificant impacts. 2.3 Environmental Management Plan 13. It addresses the potential impacts and risks identified through the process of environmental assessment and the level of details and complexity of the EMP. It identifies impacts and risks and the priority measures and actions that will commensurate with the project. 2.4 Public Disclosure 14. The IEE summary will be translated in to local language and disclosed to Water Users Association (WUA) level. The copy of the full IEE will be available with subproject Implementation Office (SIO) and Project Management Unit (PMU) and will be made available for the stakeholders as and when asked for. A copy of the IEE Summary will be disclosed through the DOWR website and in ADB website as well.

The Government of India has laid down various policy guidelines, regulations, acts and legislations pertaining to the sustainability and protection of the environment and its various components. The statutory requirements for the proposed road projects are discussed briefly in the following paragraphs. 2.7 The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and the Environmental I mpact Assessment Notification, 14th September 2006 18. The Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 is the umbrella legislation providing for the protection of the environment in the country. This act provides the Environment (Protection) Rules, which were formulated in 1986. The Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 1994 and the various amendments thereto have been notified under this act. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has enacted a new notification under the Environmental Protection Act, 1986 related to environmental clearance (EC) of the developmental projects with effect from September 14, 2006. 19. According to this notification, developmental projects are classified as category A and Category B based on their size, nature, location and possible environmental impacts. All the projects included in Category A require environmental clearance from the MoEF, Government of India. The list of projects or activities requiring environmental clearance and their categorization is given in schedule of this notification. According to this notification, expansion and modernization of existing projects or activities listed in the schedule to this notification with addition of capacity beyond the limits specified for the concerned sector, project or activities which cross the threshold limits given in the Schedule after expansion or modernization. 20. During discussions held with officials of the department of environment and forests Government of Odisha(Go). The state department of environment (DOEn) is of the view that new irrigation projects encompassing a command area less than 500 ha need not require EC. In view of this all the new major, medium and minor projects that are likely to increase the command area more than 500 ha and will need an EC from the SEIAA and projects whose command area increases equal to or more than 10,000 ha will need an EC from the central government. 21. This Kanjhari sub-project is an existing medium irrigation project where renovation of existing canals to its original designed capacity, repair of existing structures and construction of new additional structures like village bridges, bathing ghats etc are involved in the project activities. Since no new canals and no additional command area are being increased this sub-project doesn’t require environmental clearance as per the provisions of EIA notification 2006.

2.8 The Water and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Acts 22. The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 resulted in the establishment of the Central and State level Pollution Control Boards, (CPCB and SPCB) whose responsibilities include managing water quality and effluent standards, as well as monitoring water quality, prosecuting offenders and issuing licenses for the construction and operation of developmental projects requiring water as a resource. The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, empowers the SPCBs to enforce air quality standards set by the CPCB. 23. During the construction phase of the project, if plants like concrete mixing plants, hot mix plants, crushers, diesel generators etc are installed., will require consent {consent for establishment (CFE) and consent for Operation (CFO)} from the Odisha State Pollution Control Board(OSPCB) pursuant to the Water (Prevention and Control of pollution) Act of 1974, The Water Cess Act of 1977 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981. 24. This consent will be taken by the construction contractor. If the contractor is procuring the material from the vendors, he must ensure that the vendor’s have consent from the OSPCB. This would be applicable to all the major, medium and minor sub projects of this loan programme. 2.9 The Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 25. The Central Government formulated these rules under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Under Section 7 of these rules it is required that the operator or occupier of a facility dealing with hazardous waste ensures that hazardous waste is packaged in a suitable manner for storage and transport and that the labeling and packaging shall be easily visible and be able to withstand physical conditions and climatic factors. 26. Bituminous and other materials used in construction are considered as hazardous in nature. Section 9 of these Rules also requires that in case of an accident during transportation of hazardous wastes, the operator or occupier of a facility shall immediately report to the SPCB in the prescribed form. This statute applies to the contractor’s if they are involved, in handling (including storing) and transshipment of hazardous bituminous materials during construction or black topping of the project dam roads. 2.10 The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 27. The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 pertains to the cases of diversion of forest area for non-forestry use. The forest management rules, 2003 provide the guidelines for conversion of forest land for non-forest purposes. According to these rules the process of obtaining forest clearance under the new amendment varies with the legal status of the forestland to be diverted. There are two types of forests namely, reserved and protected, whose forest land can be diverted for non forest purposes. Reserved Forest (RF) is an area notified under the provisions of the Indian Forest Act or the State Forest Acts, with a full degree of protection. In Reserved Forest, all activities are prohibited unless permitted. Protected Forest (PF) is an area notified under the provisions of Indian Forest Act or the State Forest Acts with a limited degree of protection. In Protected Forests all activities are permitted unless prohibited through a government notification. It also restricts felling of trees and regulates diversion of forestland for non-forest use.

a In the case of Reserved Forest (i) If the area of forests to be cleared or diverted exceeds 40 ha then prior permission will be granted by MoEF, GOI, New Delhi. (ii) If the area of forest to be cleared or diverted is between ‘5 to 40’ ha, then the case would be put to the state advisory committee for consideration. The committee after

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

studying the case will make its recommendation to the MoEF, GOI for formal approval. (iii) If the area of forest to be cleared or diverted is below or equal to 5 ha, then the MoEF regional office is empowered to give the approval. (iv) If the area to be clear-felled has a forest density of more than 40%, permission to undertake any work is needed from the Central Government, irrespective of the area to be cleared. b. In the case of Protected Forest

28. The MoEF regional office is empowered to accord Forest clearance for an area up to 5 hectares, which is to be cleared. 29. The procedure for getting the forest clearance is as follows: (i) The user agency will submit an application to the District Forests Officer (DFO) seeking conversion of forest land for non forests purpose. (ii) The DFO will scrutinise the application and forward it to the state conservator of forests (CFO) with his recommendations. (iii) The state forest department will estimate the cost of compensatory afforestation as twice the cost of area likely to be submerged/ acquired and suggest the user agency to deposit this amount to the state forests department. (iv) The state forests department will also identify the land for compensatory afforestation and submit the application along with a compensatory afforestation plan to the Secretary MoEF, Government of India. (v) The expert committee scrutinizes the application and state government’s proposal for compensatory afforestation. If required, the committee will also under take site visits. (vi) The committee accords approval provided the application and compensatory afforestation proposals are satisfactory (vii) The state government submits the compliance report stating the status of implementation of compensatory afforestation plan and conditions given in MoEF’s first stage clearance. (viii) After review of the compliance report MoEF accords formal forest clearance. 30. This sub-project is an existing project involving forest areas but initiated before 1980 or Forest Act, so SIO has to obtain permission for renovating the canal for the sections passing through the reserved forest from State Forest Department before initiating the works. However, there are very few trees on the canal embankments i.e. within ROW if any tree need to cut under unavoidable situation, then SIO should obtain permission for tree cutting from State Forest Department. 2.11 The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 31. The Wildlife (protection) Act, 1972 has allowed the government to establish a number of National Parks and Sanctuaries over the past 25 years, to protect and conserve the flora and fauna of the state. The act will be applicable to this project if the command area of any sub project encroach any National Park or Sanctuary which houses habitats of wild animals. The wild life sanctuaries and national parks in the river basins under consideration are given in Table 2 below. This sub project doesn’t fall under within these national parks or sanctuaries.

No National parks or Sanctuaries or core declared habitations are present within the sub-project area except movement of wild elephants in the project corridor.

2.12 The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 33. In 1988, the Indian Motor Vehicles Act empowered the State Transport Authority (usually the Road Transport Office) to enforce standards for vehicular pollution and prevention control. The authority also checks emission standards of registered vehicles, collects road taxes, and issues licenses. In August 1997, the Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUC) programme was launched in an attempt to crack down on the vehicular emissions in the States. Since this act is applicable for all states, this will be applicable for this project.

34. All the vehicles that will be used in construction of the subprojects will have to comply with the PUC norms set down under this act. 2.13 The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 35. According to this Act, the area within the radii of 100 meters (m) and 300m from the “protected property” are designated as a “protected area” and “controlled area” respectively. No development activity (including building, mining, excavating, blasting) is permitted in the “protected area” and development activities likely to damage the protected property are not permitted in the “controlled area”, without prior permission of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), if the site/remains/ monuments are protected by ASI. The likely subprojects command area does not have any protected property and therefore, this act will not be applicable for the project. However, there may be a possibility that artifacts of coins, structures, fabrics or any other archaeological relics may be identified during the construction phase. If such a situation would arise this Act would then apply. However, in case of chance finds, the contractors will be required to follow a protocol; as defined in the Environmental Management Plan. 2.14 Land Acquisition and Resettlement & Rehabilitation: 36. The following acts and policies would be applicable to the sub-projects under OIIAWMIP. i. Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (LAA-1894) 37. In India, compensation for land acquisition (LA) and resettlement assistance for project-affected people is governed by the Land Acquisition Act (LAA), 1894 which has been amended from time to time. Under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894,

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

compensation is paid only to the legal titleholders and does not provide any compensation package to the non-titleholders like encroachers, squatters etc. LAA, as amended in 1984 provides the legal framework for land acquisition for a public purpose in India. It enables the State Government to acquire private lands for a public purpose, and seeks to ensure that no person is deprived of land except under the Act ii.National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP-2007) 38. The National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2007 (NRRP-2007) was adopted by the Government of India in 31st October, 2007 to address development-induced resettlement issues. The policy provides for the basic minimum requirements, and all projects leading to involuntary displacement of people must address the rehabilitation and resettlement issues comprehensively. The State Governments, Public Sector Undertakings or agencies, and other requiring bodies shall be at liberty to put in place greater benefit levels than those prescribed in the NRRP-2007. The principles of this policy may also apply to the rehabilitation and resettlement of persons involuntarily displaced permanently due to any other reason. iii.The Orissa Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2006 39. The State Government of Odisha in 2006 have framed and adopted a comprehensive resettlement and rehabilitation policy named “The Orissa Resettlement and Rehabilitation Policy, 2006” in order to ensure sustained development through a participatory and transparent process. It shall apply to all those projects, for which acquisition of private land under Land Acquisition Act, 1894 or under any other law's for the timebeing in force or proclamation inviting objections in case of Government land is notified. This shall also be applicable to all projects for which land is acquired through negotiation under the provisions of this Policy. iv. I nvoluntary Resettlement Policy of Asian Development Bank 40. The Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) of Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) is being followed for preparing this resettlement plan. The main objectives of the ADB policy include: • to avoid involuntary resettlement wherever possible; • to minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; • to enhance, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all affected persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and to improve the standards of living of the affected poor and other vulnerable groups 41. This sub-project Kanjhari doesn’t require any land acquisition nor were any encroachments in the form of structures noticed. 2.15 Public Liability I nsurance Act, 1991 42. This Act provides for public liability insurance for the purpose of providing immediate relief to the persons affected by an accident occurring while handling any hazardous substance and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The transportation of hazardous substances by vehicle use is also included. This statute would apply on the implementers of the Project. 2.16 Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) 43. It is a statutory authority attached to the MoEF located at New Delhi. The main responsibilities of CPCB include the planning and implementation of water and air pollution programmes; advising the Central Government on water and air pollution programmes; setting air and water standards and co-ordinating with the SPCBs. 2.17 Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) 44. The OSPCB is the government agency responsible for ensuring the compliance to relevant standards related to discharges in the environment. The activities of the

OSPCB include, planning and executing state level air and water quality initiatives; advising the state government on air, water and industry issues; establishing standards based on National Minimum standards and enforcing and monitoring of all activities within the state under the Air Act, the Water Act and the Cess Act. 2.18 Applicability of I nternational Environmental Agreements 45. In addition, international conventions such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources1 (IUCN), Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)2 and Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance3 are applicable for selection and screening of sub-projects under restricted / sensitive areas. India is a party to these conventions 2.19 Odisha State Legislations and Acts and Other relevant Guidelines/ Standards 46. Over and above, the project also gives due importance to the Indian standards, norms, guidelines and management procedures related to canal or irrigation projects such as IS 4701 reaffirmed 1995 i.e. Code of Practice for Earth work on canals and IS 4839 (part -1)1992, etc. 47. The Government of India in the Ministry of Labour & Employment have enacted the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service of the Buildings and other Construction Workers and to provide their safety, health and welfare measures. To enforce the same the Government of Odisha has formulated rules namely the Orissa Building and other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and conditions of Service) Rules, 2002. As per the act Government has to deposit 1 % cess of the cost approved as per the tendered notification. The amount needs to be deducted from the bill at the time of making payment to the contractor. 48. According to the Child Labour Act, children at the age of 14 to 18 years, if employed shall not be engages in hazardous working conditions. 49. The constitution of India has provisions for ensuring the health and wellbeing of all employees need to be protected and the state has the duty to ensure protection. For this sub-project, the mitigation measures were based on the World Bank Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Guidelines. 2.20 Orissa minor mineral concession Rules 1990 amended 2004 50. As per the act, no person shall undertake any quarrying operations for the purpose of extraction, collection and /or removal of minor minerals except under and in accordance with terms and conditions of the quarry lease, permit and / or auction sale, various rules which are important and relevant to the project activities are stated below: • Extraction, collection, and / or removal of minor minerals by a person from his own land for normal agricultural operations or other bonafide domestic consumptions shall not be construed as quarrying operations. • The government may have restrictions in granting a quarry lease; for an area upto 5 Ha, the permit and lease should be obtained from Tahasildhar, Revenue Department,

3. DESCRI PTI ON OF THE PROJECT 3.1 Background

52. The Kanjhari Irrigation sub-project is a medium category irrigation scheme in Baitarani Basin with an earthen dam and distribution (canals) system. It has been constructed across the river Kanjhari, a tributary of the Baitarani Basin near revenue village Chakka of Keonjhargarh Tahasil, Keonjhar District. The Kanjhari subproject was started under World Bank assistance in the year 1978-79 and completed in the year 1990-91. The administrative approval of the project was given for an amount of Rs 737.77 Lakhs vide No Irr. 1PP-2/79-35916 Dt 24.10.79 of Irrigation and Power Department, Government of Odisha, Bhubaneswar, initially, but the revised cost of the project increased to Rs 3319.20 Lakhs. Since 1991, the project has been providing irrigation to three tribal and backward blocks of the Keonjhar District, i.e. Ghatagaon, Keonjhar and Patna. At present, the dam is providing irrigation to 9,740 Ha during Khariff & 2800 Ha during Rabi (DPR Nov. 2011) in Keonjhar, Ghatgaon & Patna Tahasil under the ayacut area of the Project.

53. The Kanjhari river originates in the hills of Gonasika and flows in the north –east and meets Baitarani in the south of Udayapur. It is 56 Km in length and covers important villages like Ramachandrapur, Raghunathpur and Poipani in its course. The Kanjhari dam lies between latitude – 210.35’.394” N to 210.36’.048” & longitude 850.43’.470” to 850.43’.421”E and falls in Survey of India Topo Sheet reference No.73G/10, 1: 50,000 scale), the location map is shown as Figure 2. The scheme falls under the North Central Plateau agro-climatic zone of Odisha and Agro –ecoregion 12 of agro-ecological region of India characterized by hot sub humid eco-regions with red and lateritic soils (Reference : J2 C3/4 of Agro-Ecological Regions of India, NBSS Publ. 24). The Keonjhar district is surrounded by the Singhbhum district of Jharkhand in the North, Jajpur in the South, Dhenkanal and Sundargarh in the West and Mayurbhanj and Bhadrak in the East. The National Highway-215 passing through Keonjhargarh bi-sects the district into two similar natural regions. To the East of this Highway are the planes of Anandapur and a portion of Sadar Sub-division. To the West is a range of lofty hills which contains some of the highest peaks of Odisha namely Gandhamardan (3477 ft.), Mankadnacha (3639 ft.), Gonasika (3219 ft.) and Thakurani (3003 ft.). 54. The Dam is located 18 Km away from Keonjhar district headquarters. The Sub-division office at Kanjhari is 0.5 Km from the dam site and the division office at Anandapur is 68 Km away. The Kanjhari dam and canal system is shown in satellite imagery in Figure. 2

3.2 Deficiencies in the existing irrigation system 55. Irrigation water is an important factor influencing agriculture production. The efficiency of irrigation is largely governed by reliable water supply and the efficient functioning of irrigation subproject was intimately concerned with agricultural productivity and benefits. These deficiencies may be broadly grouped under four important categories viz. engineering and agronomical Engineering related • The canal and canal structures of the project were constructed more than 23 years ago require modifications. • The conveyance capacities of the canals have been decreased in some cases due to silting or slipping of the banks, resulting in increased bed levels hindering the design flow of the canal • Some structures in the Canal system are in a bad state and require repair, and some structures need reconstruction after dismantling. • The heavy transmission loss in canals is to be controlled, by bringing the canal section, bed level; bank slopes etc., to design section and by lining the canal system at selected vulnerable places. • No flow measurement except at the reservoir. • Repair of some bridges and need for additional bridges. • Need for outlets, screw gear shuttering arrangements on every channel. • With the modifications in the canal system, such as lining of the canal in identified reaches, the repair and remodelling of the existing canal structures and bringing the canal section to designed section, the losses will be minimized and the carrying capacity and efficiency of the canal system shall improve, so that the irrigation requirements of the command can be easily and smoothly supplied. Agronomical • Poor water use efficiency has resulted in poor equity of distribution. • Optimum utilization of the advanced technology in agriculture can only result in increased production. The basic pre-requisite is that required quantity of water for crops is to be ensured at a recommended frequency of supply. This is not possible now with the present poor irrigation infrastructure.

3.3 Environmental Category of the project

56. This sub-project is an existing medium irrigation project, does not have any major environmentally sensitive issues within the existing project area. No wild life sanctuaries, eco-sensitive zones, protected monuments, endangered or exotic species of plants are present in the region, while endangered species like elephants are present in the forests of the area. Since the project components include mainly renovation work, with no extension and widening of canal system, the impact on natural resources is negligible, temporary and mitigable, hence, this sub- project can be classified as “Category B” as per the Environmental Guidelines for Asian Development Bank’s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 This project is of a similar nature to the sub-projects of the PPTA and CTA which were prepared earlier. 3.4 Scope of Work 57. The difficulties inherent in operating and maintaining the existing system, coupled with no major rehabilitation or upgrading since original construction, has resulted in siltation of canals, slipping of banks, damage of structures requiring repair and reconstruction. Due to the increasing population and increased habitation need for additional bridges and outlets are arising. So rehabilitation of Kanjhari irrigation system is essential to reduce the conveyance losses and transmission loss in the canal and facilitate irrigation for people of Ghatagaon, Keonjhar and Patna blocks of Keonjhar district.

3.5 Description of Subproject Components a. Reservoir, Dam and Spillway 58. The dam consists of a homogeneous rolled fill earth dam of 1245 M length, 29.50 M height, with a central masonry ogee crested chute spillway of length 111.50 M. The crest level of the spillway is 402.50 M, fitted with 7 Nos of radial gates of size 12 M x 6 M, with a flood discharge capacity of 2286 cumecs. The entire command area is irrigated over both sides of the canal. Originally, the project was approved for irrigating 9,740 Ha of CCA through its canal system in Keonjhar, Patna and Ghatgaon Tahasil. At present, it is catering to the 7,600 ha of irrigation fully, and 2140 ha partially (as per the DPR Kanjhari, Nov.2011). The salient features of the Kanjhari sub- project are mentioned in Table 3.

59. The earthen dam is of homogenous rolled earth filled type, 1245.00 m in length and 29.50 m in height from the deepest bed level of river. The overall condition of the dam is good. The ogee shaped gravity type spillway has 7 no’s of Radial Gates to discharge 2286 cumecs of flood water. All the 7 gates are in good condition and operational. The gates of both the Left and Right Head Regulators of the Left and Right Main Canals are in good condition and regulate the flow perfectly.

60. With its live storage capacity of 3451.66 Ham, Kanjhari is a “Medium” category reservoir. Design flood flows were based on the “Standard Project Flood”. The recommended spillway design flood increased from 600 Ham to 4051.66 Ham. With all seven gates open, the revised design flood of 2286 m3/s passes with no increase in the design MWL of 408.5 m. Given the 3.0 m available freeboard this is considered acceptable. The maximum observed spillway discharge was approximately 1700 m3/s on 22nd September, 2011, which resulted in damage of wing wall and temporary MS Bridge and approach road (Source: SIO Kanjhari). The flood routing study of Kanjhari Irrigation Project was carried out, but with the revised designed flood of 2286 Cumecs. It was observed that a maximum level of 408.50 m was attained when all the gates are in operating stage. As the TBL is 411.50 m, it is still available above maximum water level. Moreover, a 0.86 m high parapet wall was also provided over the dam and strengthening in the stilling basin has been carried out for the revised flood.

In the sub-project as per the above classification it has 8 distributaries – (left and right main canal is considered as Main distributaries, one branch distribuary ( Dhanurjyapur), Gambaria minor, Padampur minor, Brundabanpur minor, Golfulla minor and Tail minor), 11 minors and 39 sub-minors. g. Land use and Right of Way (ROW) of the canal system 67. The dam is surrounded by forest, while the left canal system in the initial reach pass through the reserved forest4, protected forest5, and village forest6 and passes through mostly agricultural lands, waste lands like rocky outcrops or uncultivable waste lands, and small local nallas and a very small portion of the left canal and Padampur minor of the left canal passes through the elephant transit path at Padmakesarpur R.F.

4 Reserved forest is an area notified under the provisions of Indian Forest Act or the State Forest Acts, with a full degree of protection. In Reserved forest all activities are prohibited unless permitted by a government notification. 5 Protected Forest is an area notified under the provisions of Indian Forest Act or the State Forest Acts, with a limited degree of protection. In protected forests all activities are permitted unless prohibited specially through a notification. Protected Forest – meaning of – Land has to be one which is not included in a reserved forest – In case of unreserved forest, a notification in terms of Sec. 34 has to be issued, declaring the applicability of the Chapter –IV of the Act: 1992 (II) Orissa Land Rights 185. 6 Village Forest is an area notified by State Government constituting any land at their disposal to be a village forest for the benefit of any village community or group of village communities, and may in the like manner vary or cancel such notification. It states land at the disposal of government include all unoccupied land, all temporarily occupied or occupied without permission whether assessed or un assessed, all communal forests but does not include land recorded in the name of any private person or institution in the record of rights in force which is prepared and maintained or is deemed to be prepared and maintained under the Orissa Survey and Settlement Act, 1958.

i. Earth work and Turfing 84. Earth work in the left and right main canals, distributaries, minors and sub-minors would be carried out for resection of the canals. Most of the canal sections have eroded over period resulting in under section due to rain cuts and failure of slopes in many places; hence it is necessary to restore the canal banks to its design section. This involves filling of the earth material, the approx. quantities required in the left and right main canal is around 1,74,781 cum and for distributaries, minors and sub- minors it requires approx. 135.27 cum. In addition approximately 65481 cum of earth is also required near the structures. 85. The canal and structure are very old and do not function properly. In many places, the Canal section has gone out of form. Widening of the canal section has resulted in a reduction of velocity of flow, which causes silt deposit in bed, and formation dunes that bar the bed. This ultimately results in poor performance of canal supply. The canals have been constructed with locally available soils. The embankments have not been properly maintained in many places. All these have resulted in heavy seepage loss and the tail reaches were found to be deprived of water most of the time. So in order to bring back the canal to its design bed level requires desilting and cutting of canal bed. The approximate quantity of cutting would be around 82,566 cum in the left and right main canal and approx. 24,576 cum in the distributaries, minors and sub-minors. In addition the approximate quantity of cutting material generated at structures is around 2229 cum. The 40 % of this quantity will be reused in the filling material. 86. Provision for compaction of the main canals has been built under the project by Powered Road Roller (PRR)/ Vibratory Roller and the ordinary compaction (HRR) to be done in distributaries, minor and sub-minors. 87. To protect the canal from erosion in the completed earth sections of the canals a provision for turfing has been made. j. Canal Lining and Guard wall 88. In the vulnerable reaches of the canals and upstream and downstream of structure and filling and cutting zones of the main canal, a provision for lining approx. 5700m and for distributaries minors and sub-minors 5620 m has been proposed in the preliminary estimate. Approx. 3200m of guard wall construction is built in the project to restrict the seepage for the main canal only.

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

k. Service Road 89. A provision for improvement of service bank of left main canal, right main canal and Gambharia minor is built in to the sub-project for a length of 42 Km. Improvement of dam top road of approx. length 1.134 m is also proposed under the sub-project. l. Drilling Tube wells 90. A provision for drilling 82 number of tube wells along the entire length of left and right main canal, distributaries, minors and sub-minors was kept to provide water during canal closure period. m. Construction Materials 91. The below are the list of provisional construction materials that the Contractor may need to procure for the sub-project. The preliminary estimate provides a provision to approximate carriage and conveyance of materials i.e. lead distance involved are given below and the map showing the locations are shown in Annexure -3. • Cement may be procured from Keonjhar the approx. average distance is 35Km. • Steel may be procured from Bhubaneswar approx. average distance is 220 Km • Steel (shuttering and centering) may be procured from a approx. distance of 170 Km i..e Cuttack. • Granite and other Stone products may be procured from the quarry at Dimbo the approx. average distance is around 37 Km. In addition the tentative list of approved crushers ( State Pollution Control Board )available within the district as on September 2011 is enclosed as Annexure 2 • Sand may be procured from a distance of approx. 60 Km from River Baitarini – Turumunga • Gravel may be procured from distance of approx. 29 Km from Gopalpur • R.C.C Hume Pipe may be procured from approx. distance of 40Km from Drupada near Keonjhar town. • Earth generated from cutting shall be utilized in filling. The remaining earth quantity shall be procured by the contractor from private lands as per the procurement procedures; the estimate has a provision for hiring earth from private lands. Borrow areas in forest areas shall be avoided and borrow areas shall be identified prior to implementation at proposal and after award of contract. However keeping in view of the requirements of the IEE report some potential farmers (24) who are willing to give earth from their own lands have been tentatively identified by the PPs covering an area of approx.20 Ha which can be utilized by the contractor for borrow areas, the potential list of farmers / PPs enclosed as Annexure 4. These potential locations shall be verified for the suitability of the material by the SIO staff and the list of potential people will be provided to the Contractor. As per the contractual conditions an agreement with the land owner will be reached by the contractor and he will also ensure to take the necessary permission for operating these borrow areas. The necessary royalty would be deducted by the SIO staff from the Contractor. Contractor would try to procure earth within a lead of 5 Km of the canal system in small quantities.

n. Disposal of Debris &Spoil 92. The material generated from dismantling old structures would be reused to the possible extent. Any materials like wood or iron would be taken in to the dead stock of water resources department and auctioned by the competent authority.

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

93. The generated cutting material suitable for the filling would be utilized to the possible extent. The remaining material generated (small quantity) may be tested for suitability and necessary material testing shall be carried out and unsuitable material shall be utilized in the spoil banks of the existing main canals and in the low lying sections of the canal bank with in the available ROW after toe line, a provision for turfing the spoil banks to avoid the erosion is suggested. However, if any additional material is generated it would be disposed by identifying a suitable places like old borrow areas, quarry sites and low lying govt. land by taking appropriate permission from the SIO and competent authority. The silt shall be tested for heavy metals and pesticide residues also before disposal and some quantities can be distributed to the adjacent farmers by involving PP. o. Drainage System 94. The natural drainage in the command area is toward the Kanjhari river which bisects the scheme. There are several ephemeral drains crossed by the left and right bank main canals as they follow the contour. No field drains or drainage channels were ever built and there is no drainage congestion in the area. p. Access Roads 95. The subproject is well connected with the road net work. There is one road that connects to NH 215 which is in good condition provides access to the project site. The other main access road in the command area is Dhenkikote to Keonjhar via Patna which is also in good condition. In addition several villages roads are in good condition and connects the sub-project. In addition the canal embanKment serves also as a service road for the villagers of the command area. q. Elephant transit paths 96. The forest department has identified the path where movement of elephant is taking place in Keonjhar district called as elephant transit path which happens to pass through certain sections of the catchment area and a small portion of the left main canal tail end portion (RD 21.000km) and Padampur minor(RD 3.100 to 4.100Km) passes through that elephant transit path. The elephants move from one forest to another. The elephant path at Kanjhari sub-project is part of migratory elephant path in search of food and water passing through Sarindha, Jharkhand State, Champua, Nayagad, Soyakali, Keonjhar, Gopalpur, Kanjhari and Patna during harvesting period mainly (Nov to Jan & May to June mid). The elephant transit path passing through sub-project is not one of the fourteen paths the Government of Odisha proposed under Corridor Development Program (Harsha Bardhan Udgata 2011). The top sheet showing the elephant transit path is attached as Annexure 5. r. Plantation 97. To increase the aesthetic value of the area and also to compensate any tree loss that may arise due to unavoidable tree cutting, the subproject is built with a provision for 1000 trees plantation in the area i.e. along the canal system. 3.6 I mplementation Arrangement 98. Detailed Survey, Design and estimates for the sub-project shall outsourced and will be carried out by a Consulting Firm through PMU in consultation with SIO staff. 99. Procurement of civil works for the sub-project related to main canal, distributaries and minors shall be divided into different contract packages and tendered. Water Resources Department through PMU in consultation with the concerned C.E’s/ S.E/E.Es as per the provisions of Odisha Public Works Department(OPWD) code and in line with ADBs procurement policy shall call for tenders and through national competitive bidding, different contractors shall be selected and they will be executing the civil works under the supervision of respective Subproject Implementing Officers (SIOs).

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

100. For sub-minors execution of civil work shall be carried out by different Water Users Associations (PPs) of the respective subproject through an agreement between SIO and SIO / Executive Engineer of the respective sub-project. 3.7 Onfarm Development Works (OFD) 101. The onfarm development works include watercourses, field channels and field drains. In the traditional system of irrigation the responsibility of distribution system ends at outlet. So distribution of water beyond the outlets remains the responsibility of the farmers. OFD works under Kanjhari sub-project command area had been contemplated to be taken up separately insteps by Command Area Development (CAD) wing of Water Resources Department separately in consultation with the farmers of the concerned WUAs. The CAD water management activities will be funded by the OSG through the centrally sponsored program (CSP) for CAD works without availing OIIAWMIP fundsmain canal bank are proposed. 3.8 Expected I mprovements

i) Improving the crop yield. ii) Increasing the intensity of Rabi crop. iii) Ensuring equitable distribution of water from head to tail and the redesign of outlets and regulators. iv) Rationalization of outlets, so that disparity between sizes of chaks are brought down and kept within a reasonable size, varying between 12 to 25 Ha. v) Renovation of outlets, so that each outlet draws only the proportionate share. Outlets will be capable of drawing full discharge under half supply condition in the parent channel, the primary reason for tail enders being deprived of irrigation facilities. vi) Due to the inadequacy of funds, proper maintenance has not been taken up. Lack of maintenance has caused ill distribution of water and reduces the water use efficiency. The renovation and remodeling structures of channels have to be done to make the system efficient. vii) Regulation devices have been tampered, mainly due to the inadequacy of irrigation water to meet the water demand of crops. Along with the system improvement, the regulator devices and outlet capacity are to be redesigned and replaced. viii) Lining has been proposed at places where there is profuse seepage through pervious soil and rock fissures and also of cattle passing; bathing Ghats where the canal banks are more susceptible to failure.

102. The baseline environment of the project influence area such as climate, physiography, biological and socioeconomic environment of the project influence area has been discussed in this chapter. A. PHYSI CAL ENVI RONMENT 4.1 Physiography and relief 103. The length of the district length from north to south is nearly 145 Km and the average breadth from East to West is about 65 Km, dividing into two widely dissimilar tracts-the lower Kendujhar and the upper Kendujhar. The former is a region of valleys and low lands, while the latter includes mountainous highlands with a general slope from North to South. The highlands, consisting of clusters of rugged crags, afford a safe retreat to its inhabitants in troubled times. The mountaintops appear to be sharp ridged or peaked from the low lands, but in reality, with extensive tablelands on their summits, are fit both for pasture and for tillage. The average elevation in its central part is about 500m. At places, isolated hills rise abruptly from the plains. But most of the areas have a general elevation of over 600m, which forms the watershed of some rivers. 104. The National Highway-215 transient through Keonjhargarh divides the district into two regions; to the east are the planes of Anandapur and a portion of Sadar Sub- division and to the West is a range of lofty hills which contains the highest peaks of Odisha, namely, Gandhamardan (3477 ft.), Mankadnacha (3639 ft.), Gonasika ( 3219 ft.) and Thakurani ( 3003 ft.). 105. The river Baitarani originates from Gonasika Hills and flows to the north near the border of the Singhbhum district of Jharkhand and it again flows East entering Anandapur Sub-division and the district of Bhadrak. 106. The elevation in the project command area varies from 380 to 400 m; the highest contour is 488 m near the dam as per Survey Of India, Toposheet No. F45N10 & F45N14, 1:50,00 scale. The elevation in the region is around 50 m and the slope ranging from 10-20 m / Km as per NATMO District Planning Map series of Kendujhar, Odisha). From the survey data, the bed level from the Mean Sea level for left bank is max 396.55m and minimum is 388.94 m and for the right main canal the max is 396.55m and min is 393.04 m. 4.2 Climate 107. The climate of the district is characterised by an oppressively hot summer with high humidity during March to July, and cold from November to February. Summer generally commences in the month of March. The temperature begins to rise rapidly, attaining the maximum in the month of May. During the summer, the maximum temperature is 38.20 C. The weather becomes more pleasant with the advent of the monsoon in June and remains as such up to the end of October. The temperature in the month of December is lowest, i.e. 11.70 C. Sometimes it even drops down to 70 C. The average annual rainfall is 1534.5 mm. The mean daily maximum and minimum temperature along with relative humidity of Keonjhar is presented in Table 12

4.6 Wind 112. Winds are mostly light to moderate with some increase in force in the summer and monsoon season. The morning winds are generally from south or south west during the summer and monsoon season and during other seasons north-west, north and north-east. In the afternoons, winter winds are mainly calm and blow from south – east or south. During monsoon season, the winds blow predominantly from the south –east, south and south –west directions. 4.7 Geology 113. The Keonjhar district has distinctive rocks which are some of the oldest rocks in the world, covering an area of 100 sq. Km at Asanpat, i.e. nearly 38,000 million years old. They must date from before peninsular India broke away from Antartica and moved north. The rocks found in Nuasahi in the southern part of Keonjhar are intruded by granites and gneisses which may be equated with singhbhum granites. The Koira – Noamundi group comprising the basal gritty sandstone – quartzite with interbedded conglomerate basic lava and tuff with excelled development of banded iron formation cherts, clay shale, black and banded shale overlies the Singhbhum Granite uncomfortably. The iron formation of Gandhamardhan hill lying west of Kendujhar are associated with quartzites, ferruginous shale, basalt and tuff forms the south –eastern boundary of this group in the district. While the rocks of Kolhan group comprise sandstone conglomerate with purple shale occur as small outliers on the Koira group of rocks with an unconformity at the base. Dolerite dykes intrusive partly into Iron-ore and partly into Koira – Noamundi group form lineal topographical features in the flat granite terrain to the north and east of kendujhar (Source District Gazetteers – Kendujhar). 114. While the geology of the dam site consists of rocks of massive granite and dolerite intrusive, these rocks are exposed as small outcrops on the right bank and as a large exposure on the right edge of the riverbed. The dolerite dykes trending in N-S direction are exposed on the abutment hills and as scattered outcrops on the left bank. A thin dyke of dolerite trending E-W cut across the axis around RD 720 m (Soruce: Kanjhari irrigation project report- 1980). 115. In the dam site, the granite is of biotite – granite in composition with medium to coarse grained at places porphyritic, unfoliated and traversed by E-W and N-S directions. The dolerite exposures are covered with boulders mostly.

4.8 Soils & Drainage 116. Physiographically Odisha State has been divided into seven physiographic regions namely Eastern ghat, Garhjat hills, Dandakaranaya region, Mahanadi basin, Bengal Basin, Utkal basin and Mahanadi delta. 117. While the study area of Keonjhar district falls in the Garhjat hills (including Mayurbanj, Keonjhar, Dhenkanal, Angul, etc) occupying around 26.4 % of the States geographical area. The project area covers Kendhujhar, Patna, and Ghatgaon Tehsils the soils in these tehsils are mainly Balisahi series and Raghubera series. The Balisahi series are of fine mixed, hyperthermic, typic Haplustepts locally known as Balia Chikita Mati. These are gently sloping soils ranging from 3 to 8% with moderate erosion, normal relief. The soils are of granite genesis and moderately well drained and with moderate permeability. The thickness of the solumn ranges from 60 to 85 cm. The texture of a horizon ranges from sandy clay to sandy loam, while the horizon B texture varies from sandy clay loam to silty clay. These soils have a land capability subclass of IIIes and irritability sub-class of 3t. 118. While Ghatgaon block has Raghubra series with fine loamy, mixed hyperthermic, typic Rhodustalfs locally known as Balia Dorasa Mati. These are moderately sloping with 8 to 15% with severe soil erosion and excessive relief. These are of Granite and

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

granite gneiss parent material with well drained and with moderate permeability. The solumn is more than 100 cm thick; a horizon texture varies from sandy loam to sandy clay. B horizon texture varies from sandy clay to sandy clay as per Soil Series of Odisha, NBSS&LUP publication. 4.9 Land Utilization Pattern 119. The different land use along with geographical area is presented in Table 15 for the Keonjhar distrct, as well as for the blocks covered by Kanjhari sub-project. As per the Odisha Agricultural Statistics 2012-2013 published by the Directorate of Agriculture and Food Production, Odisha, the forest area in Keonjhar district is around 37% area covered under trees and grooves is around 1 %, area under permanent pastures and culturable waste is around 3% each, area covered under land put to non-agricultural use is around 9%, area under barren and unculturable land is around 11%, area under current fallow is around 6% and other fallow are absent and area under net sown area is around 30%. The land utilisation pattern is also presented in graph Figure 7.

4.10 Agriculture and I rrigation

123. The Keonjhar district falls in the North central plateau agro-climatic zone of Odisha. The district is primarily an agricultural district but rich in mineral deposits and has vast deposits of Iron, Manganese and Chrome Ores. Nearly 37 percent of its total area is covered with tracts of dense forests as per Odisha Agricultural Statistics 2009- 2010. But the district, in spite of its immense mineral and forest wealth, still remains economically backward and the yields are moderate to low because of primitive cultivation practices. The Keonjhar district is divided into three agro-climatic zones, while the sub-project area falls in the Sub-mountainous region covering Champua and Jhumpura, Kendujhargarh, Ghatgoan, Patna and Saharpada. The region is less mountainous but hilly with gradual sloppy terrain subject to soil erosion. The valley pockets only have comparatively deeper soil and fertile soils. 124. The irrigation potential in the district under Kharif through major /medium irrigation is approx. 26494 Ha, under minor irrigation is around 21146 Ha and lift irrigation is around 3272 ha as on 2006-2007. While in the project area, i.e. kharif area under major / medium is around 2174 Ha in Ghatagaon block, around 2651Ha in Keonjhar sadar and in Patna block is around 6075 Ha. The area under minor irrigation during kharif for Ghatagaon block is around 2062Ha, in Keonjhar sadar it is 4047 and in Patna block is around 557 Ha. While in the project area i.e rabi area under major / medium is around 1262 Ha in Ghatagaon block, around 1015Ha in Keonjhar sadar and in Patna block is around 1145 Ha. 125. The area under minor irrigation during rabi for Ghatagaon block is around 362 Ha, in Keonjhar sadar it is 349 and in Patna block is nearly absent as per the district statistical hand book of Keonjhar 2007. The Keonjhar district has a cropping intensity during the year 2009-2010 is 149 %, net sown area is around 285000 Ha and gross cropped area is around 426000 Ha. The area under autumn rice in the district is around 22.73 thousand Ha and the paddy yield is around 1510 kg/ ha and the rice yield is around 1012 kg/ ha and the production is 46.92 thousand metric tons and the area under winter rice is 147.12 thousand Ha and the paddy yield is around 2344 kg/ ha and the rice yield is around 11570 kg/ ha and the production is 231.04 thousand metric tons as per the Odisha Agriculture Statistics 2009-2010. 126. The consumption of chemical fertilizers in the country is 128.58 kg/Ha during 2008- 2009 and in the State of Odisha it is around 61.50 kg/ Ha during the same period. While in the Keonjhar district it is 33.96 during 2009-2010. 4.11 Earthquake Zone / Sensitivity

127. The Bureau of Indian Standards has categorised India into 5 seismic zones depending upon the degree of proneness to earthquakes. The Zone I signify a lesser degree, while Zone V is of highest Figure 6.6 order. The northern Figure 11 and southern most parts of Odisha are classified as Zone I and remaining parts of the state are classified under Zone II & Zone III. The entire state of Odisha is in general underlain by a north-

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

eastern extension of the peninsular shield of the Precambrians, which is tectonically a very stable zone. The subproject falls under earthquake risk zone-II (Low damage risk zone) of India. The earth quake zone of Orrisa is in Figure 11. 4.12 Flood

128. On the country, Odisha state is the most chronically flood affected one. The east flowing rivers like Baitarani, Mahanadi, Subarnarekha, Brahmani, and Rushikulya cause floods between June to October, when monsoon become active and due to depression in the Bay of Bengal with heavy precipitation occurring almost every third. 129. A flood routing study of Kanjhari Irrigation Project was carried out, but with the revised designed flood of 2286 Cumecs. It was observed that a maximum level of 408.50 Mt was attained when all the gates are in operating stage. As the TBL is 411.50 m it is still available above maximum water level. Moreover, a 0.86 m high parapet wall has also provided over the dam, and strengthening in stilling basin was carried out for the revised flood. In the Knajhari sub-project area, flooding is not a problem, but the Baitrani basin is partly under the flood prone zone. Table 16 below indicates the flood status of the project area of Odisha.

130. Water resources are important natural resources of the country. Around 4000 billion Cum meters is obtained from precipitation and snow fall in the country. From the above, about 1869 billion Cum is available in the shape of surface water and replenish able ground water. Out of the above, i.e. 690 billion cubic meters from surface water and 432 billion Cum from ground water can be put to beneficial use (State of Environment Report, Odisha 2006). Odisha is fortunate to have abundant water resources, both surface and ground water, compared to its size and population to the national level. The water resources of Odisha are dependent on rainfall. 131. The rivers of the Keonjhar district emerge from the hilly tracts into the plains with great velocity and are charged with a large volume of water during monsoon season. In summer they become almost dry. The beds of the rivers are usually rocky which render them unfit for navigation. There are a large number of hill streams which form the major water resources of the district. The streams and rivers of the district are Baitrani, Aradei or Ororai, Kanjhari, Seeta, Kukurkara, Kusai, Musal, Samakoi, Machhakandana, Karo etc. The largest of all is the Baitrani in the district. Kanjhari originates in the hills of Gonasika and flows north-easterly and joins Baitrani south of Udayapur. The Kanhari passes through villages like Ramachandrapur, Raghunathpur and Poipani stretching a length of 56 Km. 132. The water quality of the Kanjhari river is not monitored. The Kanjhari dam catchment area is forest land. It is likely that water quality of this river is very pristine, apart from some erosion, as there are no pollution sources in its catchment area as it is mainly a forest area. The visual observation during field visit confirms that water in the reservoir is crystal clear except during rainy days, free from turbidity and algal growth. District Fisheries Dept. has monitored some parameters of water quality for the Kanjhari dam during the year 2005 is presented in Table 17.

Note: A- Drinking water source without conventional treatment but after disinfection. B- Outdoors bathing C- Drinking water source with conventional treatment followed by disinfection. D- Propagation of wildlife, fisheries. E- Irrigation, Industrial cooling, controlled, controlling waste disposal

134. It is observed that Baitarni water quality at Anandpur meets Central Pollution Control Boards (CPCB)’s class C water quality criteria. The presence of coliform in water quality shows that there is domestic waste discharge in the river. In India, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has developed a concept of designated best use and classified water based on the surface water quality (IS: 2296- 1992) into five classes i.e. A – E. The different classes are: A- Drinking Water Source without conventional treatment but after disinfection; B- Outdoor bathing (Organised); C- Drinking water source after conventional treatment and disinfection; D- Propagation of Wild life and Fisheries and E -Irrigation, Industrial Cooling, and Controlled Waste disposal. The criteria of parameters considered along with the standards as per IS: 2296 – 1992 is enclosed as Annexure 17b. 4.14 Groundwater Resources 135. Odisha has an annually replenish able ground water resource of 21,01,128 HM and 60 % of it is considered as safe use. About 1,22,272 HM is committed for domestic and industrial requirement for the coming 25 years. Table 20 shows the utilisable ground water resources for different needs for the state of Odisha and Keonjhar district and is presented in Table 20. Table 20 Ground Water Resources

136. According to the ground water data available in the State of Environment 2006 report, the ground water potential in Keonjhar district is estimated to be 132291 Hm of which 4954 Hm is utilizable for domestic and industrial use. The annual draft for irrigation use is 12,713 Hm. The area is rich is surface water resource and hence, there is less dependence on ground water. The general ground water depth in the command area was enquired and it was found the depths of the existing tube wells are varying from 40 to 100’ in the head villages and 200’ to 250’ in the tail end villages. The water level gets reduced after the canal water supply gets stopped as observed by the tail end villagers. 4.15 Ambient Air quality

137. The Central Pollution Control Board and State Pollution Control Board maintain database on the ambient air quality of the state. However, such a database is limited

IEE & PC Kanjhari 4 August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

to major cities/ urban centres and some selected industrial areas. No secondary data is available for the project district, particularly representing the rural areas. 138. Along the proposed rehabilitation of the canal system, there is neither industrial activity nor significant vehicular traffic contributing to air pollution. Therefore, the ambient air quality is expected to be within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for all parameters (oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulphur, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbaon, benzene, carbon monoxide) excepting the dust or particulate matter. The occasional vehicular movement on unpaved roads lead to formation of dust clouds over short periods. The airborne dust increases the concentration of both the Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM< 10 micron) beyond the limits of the NAAQS. 4.16 Ambient Noise levels

139. The sub-project is located in a pristine environment with forest patches in between. The canals passes through mostly agricultural field hence the sound levels are within the CPCB permissible limits. The traffic along the canal road is also negligible. B. B. ECOLOGI CAL RESOURCES

(i)Fisheries 140. The production of fish in Keonjhar district during 2010 -2011 is around 7250.86 M.T entire this is fresh water. While the sub-project covered blocks Keonjhar has 998.25 M.T, Ghatagaon has 468.66 M.T and Patna has 584.53 M.T, while the production of Kanjhari Dam is 2.75 MT, as per the figures provided District Fisheries Office, Keonjhar. The type of fish found in the area are rohi (Labeo rohita), bhakur (Catla catla), mirkali (Cirrhina mrigala), L. calbasa, L. beta, C carpio, M. Seenghala, M.mystus, Chaela bacaila, Golden mahaseans (Endangered),Wallago attu, C. marulius, C.Striatus, C.punctatus, C. gachua etc. (ii)Biodiversity- Flora and Fauna

141. The forests of Keonjhar district are of monsoon type classified as: (i) Tropical moist deciduous forests and (b) Tropical semi-evergreen forest. The Sal (Shorea robusta) forests dominate with a mixed community of species representing dry deciduous vegetation and thorny xerophytic communities showing degradation. The tropical moist deciduous forests constitutes species like Shorea robusta, Terminalia tomentosa, Diospyrous melanoxylon, and Schleichera oleosa, Anogeissus laatifoli, Ougeini cojenensis, Adina cordifolia, Protium serratum etc. 142. The tropical semi-evergreen forest is confined to the hilly area and characterized by Diospyrous peregrine, Macaranga peltata, Dillenia pentagyna, Mesua ferrea, Strychnis potatorum, Syzygium cumini, Terminalia belerica etc. 143. The forest cover of the State as per the 2001 assessment made by the Forest Survey of India, therefore stands at 48838 sq.Km, which is 31.4% of the state’s geographical area( Annexure -7 Odisha Forest Map). This also accounts for 7.2% of Country’s total forest cover. The reserved forest of the district consists of mostly steep hills and narrow widening valley, while the Keonjhar district has 37.3% under forest cover and the study area falls in Keonjhar forest division which has 39.3 % of the division geographical area under forest, i.e. 2493.48 Sq.Km (Figures provided by Forest Dept 2011). Keonjhar forest division has 7 ranges, blocks covered are 9, and the total numbers of VSS formed are 405. The distribution of forest in Keonjhar forest division is presented in Table 21.

144. Based on discussions with local forest officials and through public consultation with local people, Vana Samrakshana Samities (VSS) groups and confirmed by reference to official records with the Department of Forestry, it has been confirmed that there are no national parks and wild life sanctuaries within the vicinity of the project. However, the Dam is located within the forest area surrounded by Raghunathpur R.F, Narayanpur R.D and Pipilia R.F of Keonjhar Forest Division. These forests were declared as reserved forest through notification No. 10721-12F-42(m/2) 58D26/27th March 1958 published in the State government Gazette of 4th April 1958 part III pg. 289. The details of the canal system passing through the reserved forest, protected and village forest areas in different sections are shown in Table 7, 8 and 9. 145. As per the Keonjhar district wild life census there are 41 elephants found in the forests of the district, but near the subproject mostly elephants from the Jharkhand state move during harvesting period in search of food. The forest department has identified the path where movement of elephant is taking place called as elephant transit path which happens to pass through certain sections of the catchment area and and a small portion of the left main canal tail end portion (RD 21.000km) and Padampur minor(RD3.100 to 4.100Km) passes through that elephant transit path. The elephants move from one forest to another. The elephant path at Kanjhari sub-project is part of migratory elephant path passing through Sarindha, Jharkhand State, Champua, Nayagad, Soyakali, Keonjhar, Gopalpur, Kanjhari and Patna during harvesting period mainly ( Nov to Jan& May to June mid). Even the elephant transit path passing through sub-project is not one of the fourteen paths the Government of Odisha proposed under Corridor Development Program (Harsha Bardhan Udgata 2011). The top sheet showing the elephant transit path is attached as Annexure 5. There are no government notified core habitations like elephant reserves or sanctuaries with in the area of influence of the project area. 146. The dominant species of the study area are Sal, Asan, Jamu, Kendu, Arjuna, Kurei, Teak, Ghurudu, Eucalyptus, Barakoli, Dhaki and Pokagungha, etc., in the forest areas, while Sal, Mahua, neem, mangium, mango, peepal, tamarind, custard apple and bamboo are common in the command area. There are no threatened or endangered plant species in the command area as per the available local information and based on the discussions with the locals and forest officials. 147. The important minor forest produce of the area are kendu leaves, sal seeds, mohwa flowers and seeds, honey and wax, resins, tasar, myrabolob, tamarind, amla, etc. 148. The important animals found in the forests of the sub-project area are presented in the Table 22. As per the Red data book of IUCN elephants are endangered species and sloth bear occupies vulnerable status and rest of the animals are least concerned. As per the Wild life census 2010 Keonjhar forest division has around 41 elephants.

5. ANTI CI PATED ENVI RONMENTAL I MPACTS AND MI TI GATI NG MEASURES 5.1 Introduction

162. The positive and negative impacts associated with this project are described in this chapter. The negative environmental impacts, both direct and indirect associated with the project location and impacts arising due to the construction phase of the project will be temporary and short term in nature. The direct and short term impacts concern the implementation stage of the ERM works. During the operation phase, indirect impacts expected are long term and are in general positive. For purposes of this IEE report, the environmental impacts in the study area have been discussed during the pre construction, construction and operation phase of the project. Identification of these impacts is followed by recommendations of appropriate cost effective mitigation measures. These impacts along with the mitigation measures are given in the following sections:

5.2 Subproject Activities: • No additional land is required as there is no proposal for new canals for extension for covering additional area and no land acquisition is involved. • Improvement of dam top road and repair of horizontal and vertical drains of the dam. • Bringing the canals to the original design section and providing necessary lining or guard walls as necessity and site conditions in the left and right main canals, distributaries and minor and sub-minor to arrest the prevent seepages / percolations as well as canal breaches caused by shrinkage and cracking of embankments. • Improving hydraulic performance of main system canals, checking for prism/ trapezoidal shape and stability, and to reduce rainfall runoff /erosion of sediment into the canals. • Remodelling of existing Hydraulic control structures for improved flow control and installing flow measurements devices along the left and right main canals, minors and sub- minors canals as per the necessity. • Construction of new and repair of cross drainage structures like and properly designed drainage inlets to minimize entry of sediment into the canals. • Providing additional new bridges and repairing the existing ones for improved access across canals. • Renovating the outlets of the main canal, distributaries, minor and sub-minors. • Improving the banks on the main canal and distributaries for better access. 163.

5.3 Subproject Activities during operation & Maintenance phase

• Maintenance for water availability • Maintenance of canal for equitable irrigation • Maintain drainage system in agricultural field

5.4 Possible Environmental I mpact and Mitigation Measures

164. The possible impacts on environment due to the subproject have been discussed from the following aspects • Impact Due to Project Location • Impact During Planning and design phase • Impact During the construction phase • Impact During operation phase

5.5 I mpact Due to Project Location

165. The environmental issues that may arise due to the present project location are minimal: • No land acquisition, no resettlement (structures) and no change in landuse and landcover will take place, as the proposal envisages the rehabilitation, upgradation of the canal system without increasing the command area or any new canals. • No encroachments as per the Joint survey carried out by SIO staff and ISPMC R& R Specialist • The canal system (main canals, distributaries, minor and sub-minors) in some sections of the canal pass through the reserved forest, protected forest and village forests of Keonjhar division. • As the sub-project falls adjacent to the existing elephant transit path near the dam portion, left main canal tail end portion and Padampur minor passes through the existing elephant transit path (Annexure 5) • No impact on archaeological, monumental, religious and cultural sites will take place as these are not present within the ROW. • During the field visit and during interaction with PP members and SIO staff it was revealed some areas like forest, grazing land have been encroached and started cultivation few years back • There are some large girth trees on the canal embankments which may likely get affected or may require removal. • Utilities like electric poles / line, transformers are present on the canal may get affected due to the proposed work. 166. The mitigation measures proposed are:

• Demarcation of ROW before executing the canal works by the SIO in the presence of PP and addressing any disputes in consultation with PP and in accordance with the R & R policy. • PMU / SIO with the help of ISPMC R & R specialist conducted a joint survey and found no encroachment which would effect the proposed work hence no Resettlement Plan is required for the sub project. • No additional impact on forest land is anticipated as it is an existing canal system where some sections of main canals, distributaries both minor and sub-minors pass through the reserved forest, protected forest and village forests of Keonjhar division • Proper planning and taking precaution would be taken by the contractor while executing the works in consultation with the PP members and local people

IEE & PC Kanjhari 4 August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

• As the sub-project falls adjacent to the existing elephant transit path near the dam portion, left main canal tail end portion and Padampur minor passes through the existing elephant transit path and sitting of camps/machines/ materials shall not be avoided by the contractor. • During the field visit and during interaction with PP members and SIO staff it was revealed some areas like forest, grazing land have been encroached and started cultivation few years back while doing micro plan preparation the assessment of encroached areas need to done and the scope for legalizing the users keeping in view of the usufruct right of the downstream users need to be planned. • During the survey PMU /SIO along with the survey team and Design Engineers shall identify the number of trees likely to get affected and to the possible extent should avoid tree cutting. • Utilities like electric poles / line, transformers are present on the canal may not affect the proposed work , if any SIO comes across in any minors or sub minors shall identify such poles that need to be shifted.

5.6 I mpact during Planning and Design Phase

167. The planning phase will include further detailed topographic and geotechnical surveys and hydrological assessments which will provide information for the detailed designs of the scheme. As such impacts during this planning phase may be limited to erroneous or inadequate field assessments and data interpretation. These impacts could manifest themselves in the following manner:

• Incorrect survey in order to align / resection of canal may result in errors in the alignments and change in the section • Incorrect hydrological assessment of flood magnitude, drainage problem resulting in under- design of conveyance system, leading to hydraulic/structural failure; • Incorrect and insufficient geotechnical survey if not adequately taken into account the geology of the area may result in structural failure. Improve the efficiency of the canal by reducing the water losses. • There are some encroachments within the command area like forest, grazing lands etc have been converted to agricultural lands few year back which can be monitored by PPs by identifying illegal outlets and monitoring them by involving PPs, VSS members, Forest guards, Forest officials and DoWR staff. • The left main canal tail end portion and Padampur minor passes through the existing elephant transit path. • Some large girth trees present on the embankment may get affected or may require tree cutting. • Utilities like electric poles / electric lines were found within the ROW on the canal embankment. • No Archaeological sites are within the project area but while excavation work chance find protocol would be used. • Identification of potential sites or locations for drilling tube wells 168. The mitigation measures proposed would include:

• Thorough hydrological assessment using all available background data and making use of flood simulation software to better estimate optimum design flows. This is to be conducted as the starting point to the design process and will be checked and verified in accordance with project quality assurance procedures; • A geotechnical survey, topographical survey and a soil survey particularly along the axis of the canal side should be conducted at the beginning of the design process to reduce the risk of costly design revisions during construction, or worse the failure of a scheme due to a design based on erroneous parameters; • The design should be checked in accordance with project quality assurance and quality control procedures.

IEE & PC Kanjhari 4 August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

• The scope for improving the designs or carrying capacity of the minors and sub-minors to support the increased command areas ( encroached forest land and grazing lands) without effecting the tail end users • Desilting, lining of the canals and minor repairs to existing structures will improve operation of the canals and positively impact on the hydrology of the project. • Modifications of drop structures and regulators, and construction of permanent outlets with gates will improve the efficiency of canal operation and reduce water losses. • Redesigning of canals if required to suit the additional command area that are converted to agricultural lands from forest and grazing lands etc., • Construction of new bridges( left main canal RD 0.800; 13.100 and 15.600 Km and right main canal RD 2.480 and 11.600 Km will reduce water contamination and facilitate the local people in crossing the canal. At these location except RD 0.800 of left main canal the people and animals are crossing the canals polluting the canal water as village roads have been laid till either side of the canal leaving the canal portion by providing these bridges it improve the accessibility and also may reduce water contamination occurring due to movement of people, animals and vehicles. • The left main canal tail end portion and Padampur minor passes through the existing elephant transit path, the suggestion of the local inhabitants is to provide a food bridge designs may accommodate Foot Bridge at left main canal- tail end portion to facilitate easy movement of elephants and people. • Some large girth trees present on the canal embankment may require removal or tree cutting. During survey and design PMU/ SIO staff along with survey team and in consultation with design engineers shall identify the number of trees that may get affected. To the possible extent tree cutting shall be avoided, if any tree shall be removed from the ROW before commencement of actual work it shall be done in consultation and with the permission of State Forest Department. Stacking, transport and storage of wood shall be done as per the relevant norms. All efforts shall be made to preserve the trees to the possible extent. • Utilities like electric poles / lines /transformers/ water pipelines existing within ROW may not be affected if any identified during survey in the minor and sub-minors which are likely to be damaged during widening or strengthening the canal embankment or may cause hindrance to the movement of construction equipment, the PMU/ SIO in consultation with design team may identify the utilities that may need shifting, if they need to be relocated proper planning and contingency for shifting need to be planned by the SIO in consultation with the PMU • Tube wells locations shall be away from dumps, refuse piles, storage facilities, fuel storage areas, seepage pits, pit toilets, septic tanks, surface water bodies, drains, field fertilized with dung. 5.7 I mpact during Construction Phase

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

v. I mpact of soil – soil erosion and siltation: 179. Soil erosion will take place during earthworks, such as filling and cutting for re- sectioning of the canals and disposal of cutting earth in the spoil bank. The impact will be localized, short-term and minor. These activities will be conducted in the dry season. Mitigating and safeguarding measures to prevent excessive dust will be taken up by the contractor. Further safeguards associated with on-site activity and clean-up will be incorporated into the procurement documents. 180. The mitigation measures proposed are: 181. The Contractor while working in main canal, distributaries and minors and WUAs while working in sub-minors shall follow the below: • Confirming excavations operations and slope stabilization work during the dry season only and compaction in main canal by powered road roller and vibratory roller and in the distributaries, minors and sub-minors by ordinary compaction • Careful construction planning for surface protection particularly before monsoon season and planning of turfing activities in the inner slope of the canal and a provision for turfing the spoil bank is also suggested. • Earth material and selection of Borrow area as per IS code 1498 1970 reaffirmed 1970. • Earthworks operations shall be strictly limited to the areas to be occupied by the permanent Works and approved borrow areas and quarries, unless otherwise permitted by the Project Manager. Due provision shall be made for temporary drainage. Erosion and/or instability and/or sediment deposition arising from earthwork operations not in accordance with the Specifications shall be made good immediately. • The Contractor shall obtain the permission of the Project Manager before opening up any borrows or quarries. Such borrow pits and quarries may be prohibited or restricted in dimensions and depth by the Project Manager where: ƒ they might affect the stability or safety of the Works or adjacent property; ƒ they might interfere with natural or artificial drainage or irrigation; ƒ they may be environmentally unsuitable. ƒ the contractor should enter into an equitable agreement with landowner for borrow area redevelopment if any landowner requires and after completion of the borrow area the contractor obtains a “Satisfaction Letter “ or “No – objection Letter” from the land owner on a stamp paper • At least 14 days before he intends to commence opening up any approved borrow pit or quarry, the Contractor shall submit to the Project Manager his intended method of working and restoration.

• Borrow-pits, other than those in agricultural fields, will be covered with a layer of top-soil and grass-pitching. • The rehabilitation of the borrow areas shall be done by the contractor as per the land owners requirements. vi. I mpact on Access Roads and Haulage Roads 182. Deterioration in quality of roads and damage to some of the existing bridges on the canal anticipated while transporting the materials. There is a need for using existing cart roads within the forest areas and canal embankment service road within the forest areas so there is a scope for some damage or deterioration. 183. The mitigation measures proposed are: 184. The Contractor while working in main canal, distributaries and minors and WUAs while working in sub-minors shall follow the below: • Limited construction period, careful planning on the movement of vehicles and restrictions on construction workers movement and adequate monitoring shall be carried out by the contractor • All existing roads used by vehicles of the contractor or any of his suppliers of material shall maintain during construction period. Clear any materials dropped by the vehicles on the access roads. • There is no need for construction new haulage roads within the forest areas where the canal passes, as the canal embankment itself serves as service road which can be utilised for transporting material and even the forest areas have exiting forest cart roads which can be utilised with the permission of local forest department and they need to be maintained.

vii. I mpact on Water Quality: 185. Water used in construction process is not in the large quantities. Thus impact on water quantity is negligible. However there would be other minor impacts that may arise are: • Inadequate drainage in the temporary camp site resulting poor sanitation condition and surface and ground water pollution and promote breeding of mosquitoes. • Contamination of ground and surface water due to inappropriate disposal of spoil materials, debris and waste • Contamination of water due to fuels and lubricants and construction waste waters • Erosion of canal embankments due to improper compaction 186. The mitigation measures proposed are:

• The Contractor while working in main canal, distributaries and minors and WUAs while working in sub-minors shall follow the below: • Proper disposal/reuse of construction spoils and silt generated from desilting operation considering environmental safeguard • Arrangement to drain out wastewater from construction site should be planned as per the site conditions i.e. along the natural gradients. The Contractors are hiring buildings for Camp as these are scattered works. If Contractor establishes any Camp he shall ensure adequate drainage and sanitation at the site. • The contractor shall procure the fuel from the nearest authorized outlets, if any minor storage if he has to make he shall ensure he doesn’t contaminate the area. • Contractor shall avoid oil spillages etc., • Contractor shall not wash his vehicles in the canals • Contractor shall ensure or install equipments in such a way that the waste water doesn’t enter the canal during monsoon season. • Contractor shall ensure proper compaction after completion of the earthwork, for the main canal compaction has to be done by Powered Road Roller or Vibratory Roller and in the distributaries, minors and sub-minors by hand roller.

IEE & PC Kanjhari 4 August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

• To protect the canal from erosion in the completed earth work of the sections of the canals a provision for turfing has been made

viii. I mpact on Air Quality: 187. Deterioration of air quality would be mainly due to fugitive dust emission from construction activities, and gaseous emissions from construction equipments and vehicular movements (equipment like concrete mixers, vibrators, hot mix, and vehicles like lorry, tractors, roller, dozers, excavators, etc). These impacts would be short term in nature and limited to the project site and construction phase only. 188. The mitigation measures proposed are: 189. The Contractor while working in main canal, distributaries and minors and WUAs while working in sub-minors shall follow the below: • Contractor shall ensure trucks carrying soil, sand and stone will be duly covered to avoid spilling. • Contractor shall ensure adequate dust suppression measures such as regular sprinkling of water especially at the time of construction along the village corridor will be undertaken. Contractor shall ensure that all construction equipments and vehicles are in good working condition, properly tuned and maintained to keep emissions within permissible limits.

ix. I mpact on Noise Level: 190. The construction phase will see the operation of only light construction machinery, which is known to emit sounds with moderate decibel (dB). Temporary impacts in the immediate vicinity of project site may occur due to noise generated from construction activities superimposed with existing vehicular noise. The magnitude of impact will depend upon specific types of equipment to be used, the construction methods employed and scheduling of the work. The construction noise will be intermittent and of short duration and mostly during day time. 191. The mitigation measures proposed are: 192. The Contractor while working in main canal, distributaries and minors and WUAs while working in sub-minors shall follow the below: • In order to reduce these impacts it will be ensured that all construction equipment and vehicles used in construction shall strictly conform to the MoEF / CPCB standards. • All vehicles exceeding the limits shall be fitted with exhaust silencers. • Regular servicing of all construction vehicles and machinery shall be done regularly and during servicing the effectiveness of exhaust silencers shall be checked. • All the construction sites within in 150m of the nearest habitation, noisy construction work such as crushing, operation of DG sets and any high noise construction equipments shall be stopped during night time between 10.00pm and 6.00 am. • Working hours of the construction activities around sensitive areas like schools / hospitals upt a distance of 100m shall be restricted.

x. I mpact on Biological Environment: 193. The project site does not include any rare or endangered species of plant. The migratory elephants are the endangered species in the area and sloth bear is under Vulnerable category and the rest of the animals are of least concern status (Table 22). Most of these animals are confined to reserved forest hence the impact due to the present construction activities will be negligible, Thus, no impacts on rare / endangered species are envisaged due to site operations. The canal system passes through reserved forest, protected forest and village forest the details are provided in Table 7,8 and 9 so while working in the forest areas there might be some scope for disturbance to the wild life and trees these can be mitigated through strict monitoring and contractor adhering to

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

standards. The increased irrigation facilities in the area will actually enhance the environmental conditions resulting in more greenery. There is also a possibility of planting more trees by farmers due to the easy availability of water. Only few canal side trees will be felled during construction phase. 194. The mitigation measures proposed are: • The Contractor while working in main canal, distributaries and minors and WUAs while working in sub-minors shall follow the below: • The Contractor and WUAs will obtain the permission from state forest department while working in the reserved forests. • Contractor shall ensures that no trees shall be cut by the workers while working in the forest areas • Contractor shall ensure the workers are not involved in any hunting or poaching areas • Contractor shall not create paths existing cart tracks shall be used or canal service road shall be utilized. • The Contractor shall ensure while working in forest areas, all works shall be carried out during day time only. • The Contractor shall not dump material in the forest areas only existing ROW available within the canal shall be used for dumping / storing materials. • The Contractor shall not be permitted to establish Camps / labour camps within forest areas. • The sub-project has provision for planting around 1000 trees along the canal banks against the tree loss if any • Plantation of indigenous tree species along the irrigation canal compensates loss of flora. • The survival of trees needs to be monitored by the WUAs and SIO staff.

xi. Impact on Social Environment 195. Most of the social impacts related to development of irrigation project are positive. Some of the impacts and mitigation measures are as follows:

• The sub project is to be implemented on a community participative basis, with full consultation during the planning and design process. • Due to the proposed irrigation project some of gross command area like forest and grazing have been converted few years back due to encroachments, the tribal and traditional dwellers are being granted rights over the forest land in addition to the community rights as per the provisions of Schedule Tribes and Other Forest Dwellers Recognition of Rights Act 2006t this act would permit to legalize some areas, so in head portion based on the available water if the users are legal water right may be allowed after seeing the crop water requirement, but in the tail end portions the scope may be less, so PP in consultation with SIO staff decide the possibility of giving water or not. Since there is scope for reducing the certified command area due to the increasing demand for housing because of growing population those deprived areas may be given water in the future. • Most impacts pertaining to the establishment of the proposed scheme are positive in nature, the soils in the area will become more stable and the area will have a source of irrigation and farm use water, which has a positive impact on the agriculture of the area, thereby enhancing farm incomes.

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

• During the construction phase, there may be an influx of migrant skilled and unskilled workers in the project area. This will be restricted to the construction phase of the project. Efforts will be made to recruit local workers from the area as a priority to create employment opportunities and provide a sense of well being among local people as well as social compatibility among the people. • Labour/construction camps will be sited based on consultation with local communities with the priority of causing the least disruption to the residents and the surrounding environment. Transport routes for materials to the site, given the proximity of the residents houses etc. will also be selected with community consultation such that minimal disturbance will be made to residents. Given the proximity of the houses to the entry road to the site, the final selection of the entry route to the site for construction purposes will need to be carefully monitored for impacts during the construction period. • The location of key infrastructure under the main contract advises to be away from reasonable distance from the communities, therefore the camp sites are unlikely to cause disturbance to the communities. • For construction activities undertaken close to communities, movement of construction equipment, vehicles and personnel will be regulated to avoid traffic jams and noise. • After completion of all construction activities, excess construction material and debris, is should be removed from the site and disposed of in the low lying areas within ROW.

xii. Occupational Health and Safety 196. The potential impacts of occupational hazards are minor due to handling of cement and working in excavations. Few sections of the canals (left main canal RD 0.800; 13.100 and 15.600Km and right main canal RD 2.480 and 11.600Km) people are crossing the canals to reach the either side of the roads, so construction of new bridges are proposed at these locations, so Contractor while working at these places he ensures proper safety requirements. These impacts can be mitigated through proper safety measures. The Construction contractor will be required to:

• Develop and implement site specific safety and health plan which include measures like: (a) proper safety measures while working at VRB’s (b) ensuring all workers are provided with and use of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE); (c) contractor ensuring all workers follow the documented procedures and providing health and safety training to the workers • Providing first aid kits at the work sites at all times • Providing insurance including medical coverage for workers • Providing basic amenities like drinking water, clean eating areas, sanitation etc • Safety and security of the work sites etc • Providing proper lighting arrangement while working in the nights • Moving equipment and vehicles equipped with back alarms or flag men • Maintaining equipment properly and ensuring the workers are not exposed to noise high noise level and use of hearing protection etc if required should be enforced • Providing appropriate sign boards while excavation / construction work and providing proper barricades for preventing people and animals.

• Most sections of the canals are passing through reserved forest, protected forest, village forest, elephant paths, crop lands except few locations canal passes through nalas and roads. The canal bank serves as an access road in the command areas. So construction Contractor shall avoid all forest areas and elephant transit paths and should ensure the materials he dumps or equipments he installs will not obstruct the movement of local people or wildlife in the area also. If necessary he will ensure proper safety measures in the areas and take dust suppression measures adequately to prevent dust pollution etc. The Contractor or WUAs while working in the sections of the forest areas shall ensure they will not light Halogen lamps, shall not establish any crusher, digging of trenches above 10’; shall not use any explosive devices without appropriate permission and avoid liquor etc • If any electric lines are noticed along the canal which may obstruct so SIO Contractor shall identify and l ensure all precautions and shall prevent any danger from electrical line or equipments and ensures that they doesn’t cause any inconvenience to the people. The SIO shall identify the electric poles / lines that may hinder the movement people and machines during construction and SIO shall request the local electricity department for shifting such poles/ lines by depositing the required shifting charges from the department contingency funds. • The Contractor Camp is not permitted in the forest areas. The contractor Camp can cause some temporary disturbance, if established near the residential areas care should be taken while identifying the areas and ensure the place is not polluted due to the storage of oils/ fuels used for construction. While storing fuel he ensures he practices approved practices of storing fuels and train the staff in handling and recovering the materials. Provide proper lighting, sanitation and drinking water facilities for the workers and staff. If the contractor constructs any temporary structures he will follow the approved practices and clear the site and handover to the concerned and take a no –objection or satisfaction letter from the land owner.

xiv. Impact on Archaeological sites during excavation • No Archaeological sites are within the project area but while excavation work chance find protocol would be used. • While excavating or dismantling any structure if any fossils, coins, articles of value / antiquity and remains of archaeological interest discovered on the site shall be the property of the Government and shall be dealt with as per the provisions of the relevant legislation • The Contractor shall take reasonable precautions to prevent his workmen or any other persons from damaging or removing any such articles, if any articles found shall be brought to the notice of SIO and Environment Specialist and shall seek the direction of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) before contractor recommencing the work xv. Environmental Issues Related to Project Operation 197. Despite restrictions on resources use in the protected areas, it was observed that encroaching activities are occurring in the upper areas of the catchment and overall forest cover in the area has been degraded by human activities. In general, deforestation and mismanagement of arable land continues. Overgrazing by livestock is considered to be a leading cause of soil degradation. The scope for increased conflict in the usufruct right of the downstream users needs to be addressed while planning the legalization of the additional command area. 198. More stable water flows would reduce the occurrence for vector-borne diseases. Environment awareness, including health and sanitation is recommended to improve quality of life. The impacts of operating and maintenance on increased downstream flow will be positive.. This is not only cheaper, but also saves groundwater and energy. 199. The improvements to outlet structures, to replace the current cut-bunds as existing practice, will improve the downstream flow. The proposed repair of canal and structures

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

will reduce the losses and assure reliable water fore, agriculture, domestic and livestock needs. No mitigation measures are recommended. 200. At present no water logging as a result of irrigation occurs. In the post-project situation, over-irrigation is less likely to occur. Hence, a positive impact on possible salinization hazard and leaching of fertilizer and pesticides to the groundwater. Presently under the project measuring devices are proposed which can help in measuring the discharge / quantity of water. As per the rainfall data for the last 30 years it reveals there is normal rainfall, so the quantity of water available in the area is not a problem for sub- project. The quality of the water in the subproject will not have much impact as the erosion in the catchment is less due to forest, no industries were observed so impact on water is negligible. If any due to the increased fertilizer may be monitored in the future, however at present scenario the usage of fertilizers and pesticides in Keonjhar district is very low. 201. The intensification of agriculture may also result in increased use of agrochemicals including mineral fertilizers and pesticides, which may result in soil and water contamination. Although the use of agrochemical is currently far less than the level applied in productive agriculture systems, these need to be carefully monitored, and mitigated through agriculture extension that promotes (i) optimum, informed use of mineral fertilizers in combination with organic manure and bio fertilizer, (ii) promotion of the concept of integrated pest management, focusing on cost effective and environmentally friendly or benign pest management techniques; and (iii) emphatic discouragement of the use of persistent and banned pesticides. 5.8 I mpact during Operation & Maintenance Phase a) I mpact on I rrigation Water Quality and Quantity 202. Periodic testing of water for chemical and biological properties will help in establishing a database on water quality. This will help in taking planning decision and remedial measures for any adverse impacts on the water quality. The result of the testing if disseminated to the pani panchayats would help in bringing awareness to the local people. Weed removal should be done regularly and community should be made aware of the causes of weed growth and washing of domestic animals and letting domestic sewage into the canal should be checked with help of pani panchayats. If proper water planning not done with PP there could lead to conflicts within the WUAs. Hence WUA, Apex committee and Distibutary committees shall be involved in the water planning and distribution.

b)I mpact on canal system due to weeds 203. Fast multiplying weeds impairs flow of water and reduces water availability and damages structures and increases mosquitoes if unchecked. So regular deweeding and checking of weeds by mechanical means or by usage of herbicides if necessary. PP and community members shall be made aware and encouraged to prepare vermi-compost etc. Pani Panchayat members including community members shall be made aware and encouraged to prepare compost / vermi compost etc. The State Agriculture Policy 2013 emphasizes on the provision of assistance for organic farming i.e. provision of subsidy for establishing vermi compost units, so linkages shall be established with the local agriculture department. c)I mpact on the aesthetics 204. After completion of works, replanting of economically and aesthetically important plants can be ensured along the canal. Greening of the area may offset the ecological effects of the clearing and felling of any trees during construction phase. So monitoring of trees and their survival planted along the canal shall be ensured. d)I mpact due to non -maintenance 205. The responsibility of maintaining main canal, distributaries likes with the SIO staff and minor and sub-minors with WUAs. The responsibilities of PP are as:

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

• Removal of silt and proper up keeping off minor/ sub-minor/ water courses / field channels and field drains • Repair and maintenance of inspection path and service roads • Removal of grass, shrubs and bushes from the canal embanKment and canal beds • Repair and maintenance of all structures in the distribution system handed over for operation and maintenance. • Restoration of banks – earthwork • Repairs to lining, painting, plastering and replacing damage portions to structures etc.

e)Soil modification 206. Agriculture practiced by beneficiary farmers will intensify as a result of infrastructure improvements. The nature and extent of improvements will be influenced by agriculture extension. The changes in agriculture practices may result in soil modifications, including increased susceptibility to slumping, reduced nutrient status and impaired structure if the organic matter content is not maintained. These can be mitigated by including sustainable land use practices in the agriculture extension component. These include (i) continued use of traditional terrace construction and management of water flows, (ii) the use of deep rooting grasses and shrubs to further strengthen bunds and terrace walls, and (iii) promotion of continued use of organic based practices like use of bio-fertilizers. f)Soil and water contamination due to agrochemicals 207. The intensification of agriculture may also result in increased use of agrochemicals including mineral fertilizers and pesticides, which may result in soil and water contamination. Although the use of agrochemical is currently far less than the level applied in productive agriculture systems, these need to be carefully monitored, and mitigated through agriculture extension that promotes (i) optimum, informed use of mineral fertilizers in combination with organic manure, (ii) promotion of the concept of integrated pest management, focusing on cost effective and environmentally friendly or benign pest management techniques; and (iii) emphatic discouragement of the use of persistent and banned pesticides. g) Biodiversity 208. Biodiversity in the catchment may not be affected much. While in the ayacut / command area may be affected by increased specialized mono-cropping, use of agrochemicals, introduction of alien (invasive) species, and introduction of high yielding varieties (HYV) at the expense of traditional low yielding varieties. The conversion of ecosystems such as forests land in the command area has happened many years ago might not have affected as no threatened flora was found in these forests hence negligible impact on biodiversity. However, these can be mitigated by (i) awareness raising through the agriculture extension component and through training and support to WUAs of the importance of maintaining diversity of farming practices and local landscape, (ii) promoting under the agriculture extension component the maintenance of variety of production of both cash and subsistence crops and (iii) promoting under the agriculture extension component the use of indigenous multi-purpose trees for soil protection, watershed management and cash crop production. 209. The renovation and modernization of this project will have beneficial impacts in terms of improved irrigation and road facilities in the area that increase overall agriculture production and improved economic conditions of the area. 210. Encroachments in the forest areas may be monitored by preparing the micro plan in which the legal and illegal outlets, forest and agricultural areas can be demarcated. The illegal out lets and changes if any happening in the forest areas falling under respective Pani Panchayats can be brought to the notice of SIO staff and they will communicate to the local forest department. The sub-project will constitute a monitoring team constituting PP members (WUAs), Vana Samrakshan Samities (VSS), SIO staff of the subproject, local forest guard and local forest staff and NGO involved in the PP strengthening who will monitor the encroachments regularly.

211. The Elephant crossing points as part of elephant transit path are catchment area and a small portion of the left main canal tail end portion (RD 21.000km) and Padampur sub minor(RD 3.100 to 4.100Km)

6. I NFORMATI ON DI SCLOSURE, CONSULTATI ON AND PARTI CI PATI ON 6.0 General

212. The consultation, participation and disclosure has been taken up as an integral part of environmental assessment process for this project and was used as a tool to inform and educate stakeholders about the proposed project. It helped in identification of needs of the local population that is likely to be benefited / affected. Aiming at promotion of public understanding and fruitful solutions of developmental problems such as local needs of farmers and problem and prospect associated with irrigation facilities, various sections of community, people, affected persons in the project process and other stakeholders were consulted through individual consultations. It was attended by local farmers, gram panchyat members, Vana Samrakshana Samithies (VSS) members and engineers from DOWR. The findings were incorporated in project design as part of project preparation and consultation will be carried out at construction stage of the project. 6.1 Stages and Level of Consultation

213. For the Kanjhari subproject consultations took place during the Participatory “Walkthrough” Survey carried between 14th to 25th September 2011, in which farmers took part including the members of the Pani Panchayat. Focussed group discussions were also carried out in different villages involving small groups of people from different communities, professions etc. The need for rehabilitation, and their ideas and demands have been reflected in the in the consultations. The Consultation were carried out in different villages as part of environmental screening covering head, middle and tail end villages. The consultations were of two types:

¾ Community / local level involving Project benefitted communities, stakeholders or Pani Panchayat members, residents, labour and other professionals ¾ Institutional level consultation involving officials from key government departments like State Pollution Control Board regional office, local bodies, Water Resource Department officals, Fisheries department, Forest Department, etc.,

6.2 Community level Consultations

214. Consultations were held between 18th to 25th September 2011 in different villages covering head, middle and tail end through focused group discussions to inform the people about the sub-project as well as to capture their views and difficulties of the existing sub- project. The consultations were carried out in six villages and the village wise issues are presented in the Annexure 9 and the list of participants is also enclosed as Annexure 10 to 15.

An Environmental awareness program will be required on usage of pesticide, as well as personal safety during the application of pesticide. • At present, farmers are not aware of the quality of soil and water; they need support from the allied departments.

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

• Planning of construction activities can be initiated after kharif crop and proper consultation with PP/ VSS and forest department in establishing labour camps and equipments at sites need to be done. 216. The approach adopted for the Project ensures that all sub-projects are community driven. Design and implementation involves the groups potentially influenced by the schemes, ensuring a very high level of public awareness and involvement at each stage. Procedures for public consultation and disclosure are incorporated in sub-project implementation guidelines prepared for the project. In accordance with the main issues identified in the project implementation in the Project Completion Report (PCR), essential elements incorporated into procedures for the Project include (i) understanding the project during the planning phase, (ii) physical and financial contributions during the construction phase, and (iii) taking ownership for operation, maintenance and management of the irrigation systems after construction.

6.6 Future Consultation and Disclosure

217. During construction period also consultations will be carried out with affected persons, stakeholders. Small meetings with the Pani Panchayat members and farmers and other vulnerable communities including women will consulted to address any issues related to the proposed construction. The findings would be presented in the monitoring reports that would be submitted to ADB. The brief executive summary of the IEE would be translated into local language and it would be made available to local people at SIO office. 218. As per the ADB SPS 2009, for Environment Category “B” subproject, the following documents will be submitted to ADB for disclosure on ADB’s website. • Draft IEE • Final IEE • A new or updated IEE and corrective action plan prepared during project implementation, if any, and • Environmental Monitoring reports

7. GRI EVANCE REDRESS MECHANI SMS

219. A joint social and environmental redress mechanism will be implemented under the Project. The Grievance Redressal Committee will be constituted at PMU level comprising of the Project Director, Resettlement Officer, Environmental Officer, representatives from local non-governmental organization(NGOs), elected representatives from Municipality / Panchayat, representatives of affected persons including vulnerable groups and women in the committee. It is proposed GRC will meet regularly (at least once a month) on a prefixed date. All the grievances of the people will be reviewed and resolved within 6 weeks of the date of submission. Through public consultations and disclosure, the APs will be informed that they have a right to grievance redressed. The APs can call upon the support of the NGO to assist them in presenting their grievances or queries to GRC. 220. Grievances and suggestions from local and affected people may come-up related to inappropriate implementation of the project and components of EMP. Grievance re-dress mechanism shall be translated in Odia language and posted to the respective village/Panchayat office by Contractor on behalf of the OIIAWMIP at least 6 weeks prior to commencement of construction works. 221. The expected range of grievances to be handled through this mechanism will encompass but not limited to the following: i) nuisance from noise, dust, borrow earth, disposal of spoil and temporary blocking of access; ii) contamination of receiving water from runoff iii) emissions from increase vehicular traffic and stationary sources like hot mix plant, WMM etc., ;iv) conflict between local residents and migrant workers; v) ownership of vegetation for clearing; and vi) damage compensation. These issues will be addressed through acknowledgement, evaluation and corrective action and response approach. Grievances from public or stakeholders concerning the project and EMP implementation will be received by the concerned Executive Engineer (SIO Manager) of the sub-project. The Executive Engineer shall refer the application to PD, PMU who with the help of Construction Management Specialist, Quality Control and Assurance Specialist and Environment specialist of ISPMC then assess the grievances/suggestions and if they are found to be genuine and acceptable, shall be moved to GRC and they will be resolved within 6 weeks from the date of receipt. In site the Contractor shall provide a sign board notifying the contact details of the GRC 222. This mechanism is non-judicial in nature and does not preclude the affected people coursing their grievances to the courts. The corrective action will be started as per the action plan indicated to the stakeholder. The action taken and the outcome shall form a part of half yearly report to ADB.

223. This chapter describes the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMP) to mitigate the likely adverse impacts arising from this project. This chapter also provides institutional requirements and environmental monitoring plans required to effectively implement the environmental mitigation measures into the project. 8.2 I nstitutional Arrangement

224. The Figure 12 shows the organization structure of the DoWR for the OIIAWMIP project.

Figure 12 Organization structure of the DoWR for the OI I AWMI P project

The key agencies involved in implementation of EMP are:

225. DoWR is the Executing Agency for OIIAWMIP. The DoWR has been reorganized to constitute a Command Area Development and Participatory Irrigation Management Directorate (CAD&PIM Directorate) for more effectively integrating irrigation system management and on-farm development through participation of the Pani Panchayats. The Project is being implemented through the existing setup technically headed by EIC. Special Secretary, DoWR has been designated as the Engineer-in-Chief for OIIAWMIP. Special Secretary, DoWR will advise and guide on overall implementation matters including PIM-CAD. 226. A Project Management Unit (PMU) has been established within the CAD&PIM Directorate with a Project Director of the rank of Chief Engineer operating under the overall guidance of Additional Secretary cum Director CAD - PIM with the overall responsibility of program implementation. Chief Engineer cum Project Director, PMU will exercise the powers vested by the OPWD code for execution of all civil works. At the field level Sub-project Implementation Offices (SIO) have been formed to implement the program. For Major irrigation sub-projects the concerned Superintending Engineer is the Sub-project manager and the concerned Executive Engineer is the Sub-project manager for Medium irrigation Sub-projects. The Sub-Project Manager, who is a Superintending Engineer (SE) for major irrigation systems and an EE for medium schemes, will manage the Technical Cell as well as monitor and guide the CAD and PP Support Cells for effective integration and coordination of the sub-project activities, under the support and guidance of PMU, EIC (P&D), and ISPM Consultants provided through regular PMU-SIO meetings. 227. DoWR for effective implementation of Tranche-2 sub-projects under OIIAWMIP proposes to create one Circle, four Divisions, 12 Sub-Divisions under the Chief Engineer – cum – Project Director, PMU. Circle: One Superintending Engineer S.E will be in charge of circle office. He will be responsible for the managing the Technical Cell as well as monitor and guide the CAD and PP Support Cells for effective integration and coordination of the sub-project activities. Division: Under each division one Executive Engineer (E.E) will be in charge of the division for, processing tender and bid documents executing the works, check measurement etc. He will ensure the quality of the ongoing works etc. Sub-Division: Under each sub-division Assistant Engineer / Asst. Executive Engineer shall be incharge of the sub-division office. He will be supported by field functionaries like Junior Engineer and other field for execution, check measurement, monitoring the works and ensuring the quality of the work. 228. The Junior Engineer at the field level will be responsible for day to day environmental monitoring and the overall supervision and responsibility of EMP implementation will be with the concerned SIO ( S.E for Major sub project and E.E for medium sub project).

8.3 I nstitutional Strengthening and Project Management Consultants (I SPMC)

229. 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 8.4. Responsible for carrying out monitoring measures - Staffing Requirements

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

230. 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. 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”.

231. 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. During project works the responsibility to implement environmental mitigation and safeguards shall be primarily on the Contractor for main canal, distributaries and minors and monitored by the SIO (S.E for major sub project and E.E for medium subproject). The field level Junior Engineer shall be made 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. 232. 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. Under PPSU one Environmental Monitoring Specialist was recruited to provide capacity building of the PPs. He may be made responsible for the monitoring of WUAs along with SIO staff and these will work under the overall guidance of ISPMC. The WUAs will end up leading O&M responsibilities with the help of Environmental Monitoring Specialist of PPSU, CAD unit. 233. The current structure of DoWR indicates that they have no environmental management system. The WUAs will end up leading O&M responsibilities. Neither DOWR nor the WUAs are currently in a position to assume EMP responsibility. Their institutional capabilities and capacities will have to be developed and strengthened under the Project. 234. So for effective monitoring there is a need to designate or made in charge one Junior Engineer (Technical / Works) from each sub-project to look into the environmental aspects, he may be named as “ Environmental Co-ordinator” who would be working under the guidance of National Environment Specialist- ISPMC in addition to his regular duties. The Environmental Co-ordiantors would be trained time to time; this will ensure proper and systematic environmental monitoring and ensuring timely compliances from the contractors. In addition Junior Engineer (O&M) would also be trained along with the Junior Engineer (Technical / Works) who will monitor after the completion of works i.e. during “Operation and Maintenance Period”. 235. To make environmental monitoring integral in to the system and since the projects are of larger scale there is a need for systematic and continuous monitoring. To ensure systematic monitoring the ISPMC had developed formats presented in Annexure-.16 & 16a. The format has to be filled up and submitted by the Contractor / WUAs to SIO staff on a monthly basis. The Contractors / WUAs and SIO shall be trained for filling up the format during the project period. 236. As per the Technical Specification for construction of civil works of ADB assisted schemes, DoWR, Odisha Section – 6 Clause – 1.23 – Sub – Clause 1.23.2 Contractors shall be designate as “Safety Officers” and he shall also be made responsible for environmental issues and he shall be named as an “Environmental Co-ordinator” from the Contractors side and he shall also be trained on the environmental issues. 8.5 Reporting System or Responsible for Reporting

237. Reporting system suggested under this project is three tier systems:

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

¾ Reporting of the Contractor and WUAs to the SIO staff.(For the civil works implemented by Contractors monitoring shall be done SIO with the help of ISPMC and for the civil works carried out by WUAs monitoring shall be done by SIO with the help of PPSU Environmental Monitoring Specialist). ¾ Reporting of ISPMC, Environment Specialist after evaluating the contractor reports and evaluating the indicators at PMU level (The reports submitted by Contractors shall be evaluated by ISPMC Environment Specialist and feedback provided to SIO and PMU); In addition, ISPMC, Resettlement Specialist for resettlement issues and Vulnerable Group Specialist responsible for preparing Indigenous People Development Plan (IPDP) and for any social related issues. ¾ PMU reporting to ADB and PMU shall submit annual environmental monitoring report to ADB

238. Environmental monitoring suggested involves regular checking of the parameters suggested in the environmental management plan to ascertain the mitigation measures are achieved as the work progress. It provides the necessary feedback and midcourse corrections for project management to keep the program to achieve the expected outputs. 239. The reporting system starts with the construction Contractor who is the main executor of the implementation activities. The Contractor will report on a monthly basis to SIO staff as per the check list provided in the Annexure16 to the Junior Engineer. Junior Engineer at the field will be responsible for ensuring EMP implementation in consultation with SIO, he on the basis of daily visits to the site and observations evaluates and submit to the SIO manager. This will form the basis for evaluating the Contractor on the implementation process.

240. For the works executed by Pani Panchayat or WUAs similar simplified reporting system is proposed, the PPs have to complete a check list Annexure 16a and submit to the SIO staff, the Environment Monitoring Specialist recruited under PPSU, CAD unit will evaluate on a monthly basis and submit to the PMU and ISPMC. 241. The Environment Specialist, ISPMC during period visits spot checks the sites and evaluates the monthly reports submitted by the Junior Engineer and PPSU Environmental Monitoring Specialist and on this basis brief quarterly reports would be prepared and submitted to the PMU and on a yearly basis a detailed report with corrective action plans would be prepared. 242. The PMU will submit the annual reports prepared during the construction phase to the ADB. The PMU in the monthly meetings should discuss the implementation of EMP with the SIO staff and ISPMC and suggest remedial measures to the contractor.

8.6 Environmental Mitigation Plan

243. An Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMP) is key to ensure a safe and clean environment. The desired results from the environmental mitigation measures proposed in the project can only be obtained with a management plan to assure its proper implementation & function. The EMP outlines the plans for the proper implementation of mitigation measures to reduce the adverse impacts arising out of the project activities. The EMP has been prepared addressing issues such as: ¾ Mitigation measures for abatement of adverse impacts caused during the construction and operation stage; ¾ Details of management plans; ¾ Institutional set up identified/recommended for implementation of the EMP; ¾ Post project environmental monitoring programme to be undertaken;

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program (OIIAWMIP)

¾ Expenditures for environmental protection measures and budget for EMP. ¾ The major impacts due to different project activities and their mitigation measures have been identified in Chapter 5.

8.7 Environmental Monitoring Plan

244. Environmental Monitoring is an essential component of any developmental project, it is an integral; part of any environmental assessment process. Any intervention in the form of development shall have complex-inter relationships between people, natural resources, biotic and other forces resulting in a new environment. So it is essential to monitor critical environmental parameters in the pre- project scenario, during and post project scenario. The monitoring program suggested mainly meeting the data base requirements of water resources department on water quality, soil quality and silt etc. The impacts arising through construction are minimal like change in turbidity etc. The parameters suggested for monitoring ground water, surface water, silt and soil is presented in Annexure 17, 17a & b. 245. The monitoring can be carried out by (i) PMU outsourcing to a Laboratory for all the subprojects , or (ii) SIO outsourcing to a laboratory directly. The suggested parameters, description of sampling locations and different stages of monitoring required along with suggested frequency is shown in Table 36 246. The environmental monitoring during the different phases of the subproject implementation can be carried out by a recognized laboratory (i.e approved by State Pollution Control Board, Odisha or National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratory (NABL) or National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET) or any Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) recognized laboratory,

8.9 Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP) Costs

260. Most of the mitigation measures require the Construction Contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal regular procedures, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. In addition to this, any costs of mitigation by the construction contractors or SIO are included in the budgets for the civil works. All the environmental costs like dust suppression (sprinkling of water), borrow area

IEE & PC Kanjhari 4 August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program(OIIAWMIP)

rehabilitation, haulage road maintenance, safety etc are all inclusive under overheads of item rates as per revised schedule of rates, Govt. of Odisha. 261. Environmental monitoring will be integrated into the Project performance monitoring and evaluation (PPME) system. The majority of activities involved are translating actions suggested in the EMP to be implemented by the Construction Contractor and WUAs. The implementation period stipulated for the sub-projects are three years of construction phase and three years of post construction phase is suggested for environmental monitoring. The environmental monitoring suggested here is developed keeping in view of the needs of the Department of Water Resources as suggested in the EARF. The DoWR want to monitor surface water and ground water to assess the impacts of upstream urbanization and industrialization and it also want to monitor level of deterioration of water quality due to increased use of fertilizers and pesticides within and outside the command area. In addition the department wants to assess contaminants in the silt and soil in the command area. So the SIO, DoWR will be responsible for the implementation of environmental monitoring (Surface water, Ground water, Soil and Silt testing). 262. The monitoring shall be carried out by recognized laboratories { i.e., laboratories approved by State Pollution Control Board, Odisha, or National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratory (NABL) or (National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET) or any Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) recognized laboratory}. 263. The impacts arising out of the construction are minimal and the responsibility of implementation of the EMP mainly lies with the Contractor monitored by SIO staff. In addition to environmental safeguards taken up the contractor and sub project level environmental monitoring shall be carried out by the SIO/ PMU. The total environmental monitoring and management cost for the sub-project covering three years of construction phase and three years of post construction stage are shown in Table 38. 264.

8.10 Environmental Training

265. The basic requirement of the environmental training is to strengthen the knowledge of PMU/ SIO, DoWR and WUAs on environmental aspects.

8.11 Strengthening Environmental Knowledge & Management Capability

266. The capacity and skills of the DoWR to carry out environmental management of irrigated agriculture schemes will need to be developed to be responsive and proactive to the needs and perceptions of environmental management in their jurisdictions during and following Project completion. The institutional strengthening of environmental management will be blended within the activities. The focus will be on building the capacity and capability of the SIO, DoWR to assume their responsibilities in carrying out REAs, IEEs and implementing EMPs. The organizational framework in the DoWR for this to occur will be establishment of new environmental division as per EARF.

267. Awareness raising will initially socialize the environmental assessment and EMP procedures among the project stakeholders. In addition meetings, seminars and some short courses will be organized to raise awareness within the DoWR. ISPM Environmental consultant during the field visits will also give on-field training on the implementation of EMP to the Contractor staff and SIO staff by the ISPMC and WUAs with the help of PPSU – Environmental Monitoring Specialist. In addition training programs would be conducted to the Contractor staff and SIO staff, DoWR by the ISPMC and for WUAs by the PPSU – Environmental Monitoring Specialist with the available funds of the PMU under training. The list of appropriate training module and tentative time frame is given in Table 39 and the required budget is suggested in Table 40.

268. Participatory Mechanisms are the building blocks for the success of the Project. Besides the DoWR and WUAs, the community needs to get involved in developing the foundation of future environmental management of irrigated agriculture in the State. Results of Environmental monitoring carried out during construction would be disseminated to WUA / PP members for raising awareness through PPSU Environmental Monitoring specialist and these would be built into the PPME System Participatory Environmental Monitoring guidelines shall be developed with the assistance of the environmental monitoring specialists of PPSU through the PIM Component for use by DoWR and WUA staff during construction and O&M. Lessons learned from past environmental management initiatives will be used to reinforce public participation as an essential aspect to instill a sense of ownership and stewardship among all stakeholders that will be involved in environmental management and the use of resources. Measures to

IEE & PC Kanjhari August 4 Orissa Integrated Irrigated Agriculture and Water Management Investment Program(OIIAWMIP)

involve active participation of the community will be included to help ensure more effective and appropriate management, since the stakeholders (those using the resources) can become involved in a voluntary way in some of the basic monitoring (e.g., soil erosion point sources) and regulating various activities under the EMP.

269. An environmental monitoring programme is important as it provides useful information and helps to i) assist in detecting the development of any unwanted environmental situation, and thus, provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures, and ii) evaluate the performance and effectiveness of mitigation measures proposed in the EMP and suggest improvements in management plan, if required.

9. RECOMMENDATI ONS

272. Recommends the subproject to be rated Category B for the following reasons: (i)There are no significant adverse impacts associated with this project. Instead the project is expected to improve irrigation facilities and enhance economic growth of the area; (ii) Increased irrigation will also help in planting of more trees thereby increasing the environmental conditions of the area adding to the greenery and general aesthetics of the area; (iii) The indirect benefits of the project will be lowered levels of out migration as the communities will have more opportunity of securing income from within the village; (iv) There will be growth in living standard of people, which will encourage proper education, social awareness, health facility and prosperity amongst the people; (v) The IEE clearly states in its findings that there will be no significant impact in the local environmental condition due to construction and operation of the project and preference shall be given to the local labour for carrying out the work. 273. Mitigation - Canal system close to reserved, protected and village forest areas at many places, dam portion, left canal tail end portion and Padampur minor falls under elephant transit paths, so adequate preventive measures need to be observed such as not establishing construction camps/ plants and material in these areas. 274. The SIO in consultation with WUAS had identified potential borrow areas in private land which will also reduce impacts arising due to borrowing in the forest areas etc. Contractor may be required to abide by regulations pertaining to “sensitive / restricted” areas as well as by observing decent working practices (strict monitoring in not cutting any trees for fire wood in the forest areas, not hunting any wild life) and providing facilities at construction camp. 275. Any Issues related to encroachments need to be addressed as per the R & R policy. Any impact associated with the project activities will be minor in nature and will be restricted only during the construction phase of the project. Increased levels in ground water increase in soil salinity, increased levels of insecticides and pesticides are some of the major impacts during project operation. Increased ground water level is a beneficial impact and hence no mitigation measures are recommended. It is suggested that local villagers should be educated through pani panchayat about rational use of water, chemical fertilizers and pesticides to reduce soil salinity and protect surface and ground water quality.

10. CONCLUSI ON

276. The IEE has assessed potential environmental impacts associated with the subproject. There are no adverse impacts that are significant and complex in nature expected from implementation of this subproject. The subproject is expected to improve the existing degraded irrigation infrastructure and will be put to beneficial use to the society. This will boost agriculture growth in the area and will bring prosperity to the region. By improving the irrigation infrastructure economic disparity between head end and tail end users will be reduced. 277. The potential adverse impacts are minimal as no additional land is required, and the impacts that may arise with construction and operation because of vicinity to forest and elephant paths can be mitigated through stringent monitoring and adopting strict construction practices by the Contractor and WUAs and implementing the suggested EMP measures. 278. IEE assessment confirmed the subproject Category B classification and will not require detailed EIA to be undertaken except obtaining required permits and certification as suggested in the IEE report.
