I. INTRODUCTION

A. Overview

1. This document is the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for the construction of the new 132 kilovolt (kV) double circuit Transmission Lines (from 220 kV Rohri substation to existing 132 kV Gambat substation 63 kilometers (km) and in-out (interconnection of existing 132 kV Rohri to Gambat transmission line with Rohri New substation, 11.2 km) that forms subproject No. 2 (RGTLs) under Tranche 1 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) Power Transmission Enhancement Investment Program (the Program). This IEE presents the results and conclusions of environmental assessment for the proposed construction of Rohri to Gambat transmission line Subproject and is submitted by the Government of the Pakistan (the Government), Ministry of Water and Power and National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC). The Rohri to Gambat transmission line subproject (RGTL SP) is to be considered for early improvement under the Program and requires environmental assessment under ADB operating procedures. An IEE has been carried out to fulfill the requirements of ADB Guidelines (May 20031 2). This IEE study report is used to complete the Summary SIEE , the sub project along with the D.G.Khan to Loarlai Transmission Line sub project are being shifted from Tranche 3 of the MFF to Tranche 1 and as part of the request to ADB for this reallocation of sub projects a SIEE (Dated May 2009) has been prepared and submitted to ADB .3

2. The Investment Program is proposed to be approved by ADB in 2009. The total cost of the RGTL SP is estimated at US$ 10.88 million. ADB will fund the design, civil works and procurement of equipment. The Project involves the construction of new 132 kV 74 km double circuit transmission lines from the new 220 kV grid station (GSS) at Rohri to the existing 132 kV Gambat substation and interconnection with an exiting line. The proposed transmission lines are a part of the arrangement to disperse power from two independent power producers (IPP) gas based power plants. Figure 1 presents the arrangement of dispersal of power from the IPPs.

1 Initial project classification was carried out in 2008 and the Category is “B”. Most of the construction impacts will take place with only local impacts and there are no potential significant environmental impacts associated with the Tranche 1 subprojects construction. Initial environmental reconnaissance and Rapid Environmental Assessment carried out by consultants under ADB guidelines in June 2008 indicated that all the Tranche 1 subproject will be Category “B”. 2 ADB. 2003. Environmental Assessment Guidelines. Manila. 3 Category A projects that are deemed by ADB's chief compliance officer to be environmentally sensitive for the purposes of (i) the 120 day rule, and (ii) the environmental management plan requirement could involve projects that are near or in environmentally sensitive areas. At this stage no component of the Tranche 1 subprojects under consideration is actually within a critical area and therefore the MFF tranche as a whole is Category “B”.

Figure 1: Dispersal Arrangement of the IPPs

3. The environmental assessment requirements of the Government for power transmission projects are different to those of ADB. The environmental regulations of the Government categorize development projects into two schedules according to their anticipated potential environmental impact. The proponents of projects that have more adverse environmental impacts (Schedule II) are required to submit an environmental impact assessment (EIA). The Schedule 11 has gaps and it does not cover the entire range, policy is ambiguous and needs clarification. The consultants have initiated a dialogue with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Islamabad for review of the policy. EPA Islamabad has agreed to open discussions with provincial EPAs and other stakeholders to revise the schedules, so that study requirements are not related to voltage or length of facilities being proposed to be added, but are related to significance of impacts.

B. Background

4. The condition of the power transmission system in Pakistan is inadequate to meet rapidly growing demand for electrical power. This situation limits national development and economic growth. To enable the transmission system to deliver newly added generating capacity the existing network has to be expanded. The overall contribution of power infrastructure also requires institutional arrangements and capacity that support strategic management of the sector, and planning and management of investments. Overall, the proposed Program facility has been designed to address both investment and institutional aspects in the electrical power sector. Impacts from the Rohri–Gambat 132 kV Transmission lines subproject are potentially significant, although not insurmountable, and compensation for crops and trees will need to be paid for the land that will accommodate the transmission line towers and the land within the right of way (RoW). The design for Rohri-Gambat 132 kV Transmission Line Subproject and the 132 kV in-out (connecting) line is sufficiently complete (June 2008) to permit IEE (Category “B”).

5. The Government has requested the ADB to provide finance for the Subproject to cover the construction of 74 km of double circuit transmission lines, to help fulfill the overall objective of the MFF to encourage economic growth and improve transmission efficiency. The improved transmission efficiency will contribute to expansion of economic opportunities by improving capacity and efficiency and security of supply in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. The new power generating facilities' output, in fact, will be made available, through the proposed 500 kV Shikarpur substation to the entire system and will have impact on load centers elsewhere than Sindh. The line route is presented in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Line Route

6. The line route has been selected, by NTDC, with the purpose of minimizing impacts upon population and assets. The route chosen is the shortest that can avoid existing villages and farmhouses.

7. At the time of writing (June 2008) this Report, the transmission line route for Rohri- Gambat Transmission Line (TXL) has been chosen and the preliminary detailed designs for the TXL are completed and the overall requirements for the expansion have been clearly identified. This IEE has been conducted based on those assumptions as of 2008-07-03.

C. Scope of the IEE Study and Personnel

8. The line route is presented, in Figure 4, the line connects new Rohri substation with existing Gumbat substation the layout of the New Rohri substation is presented in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Location of Proposed 220 kV Rohri substation

9. The Study Area includes the TXL corridor within the ROW (30m either side of TXL) and all the areas either side of the TXL including all irrigation facilities, water supply, habitable structures, schools, health facilities, hospitals, religious places, sites of heritage or archaeological importance and critical areas and other infrastructures like railway lines, roads. Critical areas,4 if any, within about 100m of the transmission line alignment are also to be included in the study. The scope of work envisages construction of the bases of foundation pads and towers to support the TXL and installation and commissioning of the TXL. Installation works are expected to take place within 30m of the TXL.

10. The field studies were undertaken by a core study team with experience of environmental assessment for power projects in Pakistan. Mrs. Syeda Bushra Waheed conducted preliminary scoping, survey and assessment activities and coordinated the field sampling and analysis. Mrs. Wali was also responsible to supervise collation of information and co-ordinate the various public consultation activities. The environmental team also benefited from technical support and other important information on the impacts of the proposed power

4 Critical areas as published by the PEPA on the website put in specific reference. 5 works provided in feasibility summaries prepared for NTDC,5 and by expert consultants of BPI dealing with engineering, power transmission, socio-economic, re-settlement and institutional aspects.

11. The study process began with scoping and field reconnaissance during which a Rapid Environmental Assessment (footnote 5) was carried out to establish the potential impacts and categorization of enhancement activities. The environmental impacts and concerns requiring further study in the environmental assessment were then identified. The methodology of the IEE study was then elaborated in order to address all interests. Subsequently both primary and secondary baseline environmental data was collected from the enhancement works and the intensity and likely location of impacts were identified with relation the sensitive receivers; based on the work expected to be carried out. The significance of impacts from the power transmission expansion work was then assessed and, for those impacts requiring mitigation, measures were proposed to reduce impacts to within acceptable limits.

12. Public consultation was carried out in May 2008 in line with ADB guidelines (footnote 2). Under ADB requirements the environmental assessment process must also include meaningful public consultation during the completion of the draft IEE. In this IEE the Public consultation process included verbal disclosure of the subproject works as a vehicle for discussion. Interviews were conducted with local families and communities along the GSS area and transmission line alignment. Written records of the responses have been passed to the Project Proponent, NTDC. The responses from correspondents have been included in Attachment 5 and summarized in Section 6 of this IEE.

D. Policy and Statutory Requirements in Pakistan

13. Direct legislation on environmental protection is contained in several statutes, namely the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (1997) the Forest Act (1927) the Sindh Wildlife Act. In addition the Land Acquisition Act (1894) also provides powers in respect of land acquisition for public purposes. There are also several other items of legislation7 and regulations which have an indirect bearing on the project or general environmental measures. Where GOP has not set a standard or guideline criterion the standards given in World Banks publication Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook are used as criteria. World Band criterion is also used in parallel to GoP criteria

1. Statutory Framework

14. The Constitution of Pakistan distributes legislative powers between the federal and the provincial governments through two ‘lists’ attached to the Constitution as Schedules. The Federal List covers the subjects over which the federal government has exclusive legislative power, while the Concurrent List contains subjects regarding which both the federal and provincial governments can enact laws. “Environmental pollution and ecology” is included in the concurrent list. Hence both the federal and the provincial governments can enact laws on this subject. However, to date, only the federal government has enacted laws on environment, and the provincial environmental institutions derive their power from the federal law. The Punjab Environmental Protection Act 1996 is now redundant. The key environmental laws are discussed below.

2. Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997

15. The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997 is the basic legislative tool empowering the government to frame regulations for the protection of the environment. The act is applicable to a wide range of issues and extends to air, water, soil, marine, and noise pollution, as well as to the handling of hazardous wastes. The key features of the law that have a direct bearing on the proposed project relate to the requirement for an IEE and EIA for development projects. Section 12(1) requires that: “No proponent of a project shall commence construction or operation unless he has filed with the Federal Agency an initial environmental examination [IEE] or, where the project is likely to cause an adverse environmental effect, an environmental impact assessment [EIA], and has obtained from the Federal Agency approval in respect thereof.” The Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency has delegated the power of review and approval of environmental assessments to the provincial environmental protection agencies.

3. Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Review of IEE and EIA Regulations, 2000

16. The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997 (PEPAct) provides for two types of environmental assessments: IEEs and EIAs. EIAs are carried out for projects that have a potentially ‘significant’ environmental impact, whereas IEEs are conducted for relatively smaller projects with a relatively less significant impact. The Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Review of IEE and EIA Regulations, 20006 (the ‘Regulations’), prepared by the Pak-EPA under the powers conferred upon it by the PEPAct, categorizes projects for IEE and EIA. Schedules I and II, attached to the Regulations, list the projects that require IEE and EIA, respectively. .

17. The Regulations also provide the necessary details on the preparation, submission, and review of IEEs and EIAs. The following is a brief step-wise description of the approval process:

(i) A project is categorized as requiring an IEE or EIA using the two schedules attached to the Regulations. (ii) An EIA or IEE is conducted as per the requirement and following the Pak-EPA guidelines. (iii) The EIA or IEE is submitted to the concerned EPA—provincial EPAs if the project is located in the provinces or the Pak-EPA if it is located in Islamabad. (iv) A fee, depending on the cost of the project and the type of the report, is submitted along with the document. (v) The submittal is also accompanied by an application in the format prescribed in Schedule IV of the Regulations. (vi) The EPA conducts a preliminary scrutiny and replies within 10 days of the submittal of a report, a) confirming completeness, or b) asking for additional information, if needed, or c) returning the report requiring additional studies, if necessary. (vii) The EPA is required to make every effort to complete the IEE and EIA review process within 45 and 90 days, respectively, of the issue of confirmation of completeness. (viii) When the EPAs accord their approval subject to certain conditions:

6 The Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Review of Initial Environmental Examination and Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2000 7

a. Before commencing construction of the project, the proponent is required to submit an undertaking accepting the conditions. b. Before commencing operation of the project, the proponent is required to obtain from the EPA a written confirmation of compliance with the approval conditions and requirements of the IEE. (ix) An environmental management plan (EMP) is to be submitted with a request for obtaining confirmation of compliance. (x) The EPAs are required to issue confirmation of compliance within 15 days of the receipt of request and complete documentation. (xi) The EIA approval is valid for three years from the date of accord. (xii) A monitoring report is to be submitted to the EPA after completion of construction, followed by annual monitoring reports during operation.

18. Transmission lines and grid substations above 11kV are included under energy projects in Schedule II, under which rules EIA is required by Government for all projects involving transmission lines of 11 kV and above and for grid substations. IEE is required for transmission lines less than 11 kV and large distribution projects (Schedule I). A review of the need for EIA/IEE submission is therefore required by the relevant environmental protection authority in this case the Punjab Environmental Protection Agency. As the proposed project will be located in Sindh, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Sindh EPA.

19. There are no formal provisions for the environmental assessment of expanding existing transmission lines and grid substations but Punjab EPA (PEPA) have requested disclosure of the scope and extent of each subproject in order that the Director General of PEPA can determine if additional land is required and the need for statutory environmental assessment.1

4. National Environmental Quality Standards

20. The National Environmental Quality Standards were first promulgated in 1993 and have been amended in 1995 and 2000. The following standards are specified therein:

(i) Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (32 parameters) in municipal and liquid industrial effluents discharged to inland waters, sewage treatment facilities, and the sea (three separate sets of numbers) (ii) Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (16 parameters) in gaseous emissions from industrial sources. (iii) For power plant operating on oil or coal: (iv) Maximum allowable emission of sulfur dioxide from the power plant (v) Maximum allowable increment (concentration) sulfur dioxide in ambient air due to operation of the plant (vi) Maximum allowable concentration of nitrogen oxides in ambient air when the plant is operating (vii) Maximum allowable emission of nitrogen oxide for steam generators as a function of heat input (viii) Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (2 parameters) in gaseous emissions from vehicle exhaust and noise emission from vehicles.

5. Other Relevant Laws

21. There are a number of other federal and provincial laws that are important in the context of environmental management. The important laws are listed below.

(i) The Sindh Wildlife Protection Ordinance, 1974 empowers the government to declare certain areas reserved for the protection of wildlife and control activities within in these areas. It also provides protection to endangered species of wildlife. As no activities are planned in these areas, no provision of this law is applicable to the proposed project. (ii) The Forestry Act, 1927 empowers the government to declare certain areas reserved forest. As no reserved forest exists in the vicinity of the proposed project, the provisions of this law are not applicable to the proposed project. (iii) The Antiquities Act of 1975 ensures the protection of Pakistan’s cultural resources. The Act defines ‘antiquities’ as ancient products of human activity, historical sites, or sites of anthropological or cultural interest, national monuments, etc. The Act is designed to protect these antiquities from destruction, theft, negligence, unlawful excavation, trade, and export. The law prohibits new construction in the proximity of a protected antiquity and empowers the Government of Pakistan to prohibit excavation in any area that may contain articles of archaeological significance. Under the Act, the project proponents are obligated to: (a) Ensure that no activity is undertaken in the proximity of a protected antiquity (b) Report to the Department of Archaeology, Government of Pakistan, any archaeological discovery made during the course of the project. i. No protected or unprotected antiquity was identified in the vicinity of the proposed project that may be affected by the project.

E. Structure of Report

22. This report reviews information on existing environmental attributes of the Study Area. Geological, hydrological and ecological features, air quality, noise, water quality, soils, social and economic aspects and cultural resources are included. The report predicts the probable impacts on the environment due to the proposed project enhancement and expansion. This IEE also proposes various environmental management measures. Details of all background environmental quality, environmental impact / pollutant generating activities, pollution sources, pollution control equipment, predicted environmental quality and related aspects have been provided in this report. References are presented as footnotes throughout the text. Following this introduction the report follows ADB guidelines and includes: (i) Description of the Project (ii) Description of Environmental and Social Conditions (iii) Assessment of Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures (iv) Environmental Monitoring Plan (v) Public Consultation (vi) Recommendations and Conclusions

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

A. Type of Project

23. The new Rohri–Gambat 132 kV Transmission Line Subproject (No. 2 of Tranche 3 now shifted to Tranche 1) is part of the greater Rohri 220kV subproject (No. 7, Tranche 2), which has been designed to disperse the electricity to be produced by two independent power producers (IPPs) at Dharkai and Ghotki respectively. This subproject will be implemented under Tranche 3 of the Power Transmission Enhancement Investment Program of NTDC. It includes the construction of a new 74.0 km long 132kV transmission lines passing through Sukkur and Khairpur districts in the Sindh Province. The alignment of the new 132kV transmission line has deliberately been designed mostly through unproductive government land to avoid mainly the date-palm orchards along the National Highway (N-5). As a result, only about 9 km (12%) of its length will traverse private farmlands, with crops and trees affected.

24. The two power plants are to be interconnected by means of a 220kV double circuit transmission line to the new 220 kV Rohri substation. The Rohri substation is further connected to the existing 220 kV Shikarpur substation by means of a double circuit 220kV transmission line (Subproject No. 7, Tranche 2), and to the 132kV Gambat sub–station by means of a double circuit 132 kV transmission line (included as Main Line in this Subproject). In addition, this subproject involves the construction of two sidelines, namely the incoming and outgoing double circuit 132kV transmission lines between the old Rohri–Khairpur–Gambat 132 kV transmission line and the new Rohri 220/132kV substation. Main Line (Line A): Double circuit 132 kV transmission line (62.9 km; 286 towers) from the New Rohri 220/132 kV Substation (to be constructed) to the existing Gambat 132 substation, will be constructed partially in Sukkur district (26,187m) and partially in Khairpur district (36,695m) (Sindh province). Side Lines (Line B): Both the incoming (Line B.1) and outgoing (Line B.2) double circuit 132kV transmission lines (11.1 km; 47 towers), connecting the existing Rohri–Khairpur–Gambat 132 kV transmission line with the new Rohri 220/132 kV substation will be constructed in Sukkur district.

25. The subproject will have its off–take point in village Aror, Taluka Rohri of District Rohri, Sindh. 132 kV TXL will pass through the Villages in Rohri and Khairpur Districts. Interconnecting 132 kV line from existing Rohri to Khairpur transmission line passes through Barri Patni, Nawab jo Goth, Ameer Banglo. The subproject will involve construction of 132 kV double circuit 74 km lines. The transmission line will require total 286 towers. The nearest settlement to TXL is Aror and there are many villages along the RoW of Transmission Line but the line is about 50 m to 100 m away from the nearest house. Figure 4 presents the location of the proposed 132kV double circuit Rohri-Gambat Transmission Line.

Figure 4: Transmission Line Route of Rohri Gambat line

B. Categorization of the Project

26. The construction works are generally expected to take place within approximately 30 m of the RoW, depending on local requirements. At this stage the methods to construct the towers are presumed to take the usual pattern of constructing supporting piles in situ and assembling the prefabricated metal towers above.

27. The transmission lines will be constructed within a largely barren and unproductive area, however, some agricultural cultivated area will be impacted .The potentially environmentally significant impacts will be limited but will include damages to crops on cultivated land (The Rohri-Gambat Subproject construction will traverse mostly the barren government owned lands 88%, and partly the privately owned irrigated farmlands 12%. Of the total 333 towers, 291 towers will be constructed on barren land, while only 42 towers will be constructed in privately owned farmlands).The disturbance to these areas will be very localized as most of the construction work will take place within the RoW of TXL. Further major disturbance outside the RoW should not be significant if routine environmental management procedures and engineering controls are implemented thoroughly. This IEE study has included field reconnaissance in May 2008 of TXL route of the whole length of about 74 km the TXL stretch with surveys taking place from May 2008.

28. Categorization is based on the most environmentally sensitive component and the Subproject (TXL) is categorized as a Category “B” subproject under ADB requirements and this IEE report is based on that assumption.

29. The aspects of the project with potential for significant environmental impacts need to be assessed in detail and environmental assessment has therefore focused on significant impacts from the construction aspects as well as consultation with the public all along the proposed alignment of the transmission line. This report has also surveyed the transmission line corridor 11 and immediate hinterland that may be affected by knock on effects from impacts such as waste disposal.

C. Need for the Project

30. The condition of the power transmission system in Pakistan is inadequate to meet rapidly growing demand for electrical power. This situation limits national development and economic growth. To cater to addition of power generation facilities, the existing power transmission infrastructure has to be expanded. The overall contribution of power infrastructure also requires institutional arrangements and capacity that support strategic management of the sector, and planning and management of investments. Overall the proposed PTE-MFF facility has been designed to address both investment and institutional aspects in the electrical power sector.

31. The power dispersal arrangement for the two independent power producers' power plants has been proposed as a result of load flow studies have been carried out for the peak load conditions of August and September 2007 under normal system conditions. In general, the studies show that with the commissioning of the subproject will ensure that the power for the power plants will be available to the system. The system will operate within both load and voltage limits.

32. The feasibility study for the subproject was prepared by consultants under TA Loan 2186-PAK has demonstrated the need for the proposed improvements based on electricity demand and network studies and that significant benefits can accrue in the form of reduced load on transformers and reduction in transmission line losses. Thus there is a clear and immediate future need for this subproject.

D. Location and Scale of Project

33. The subproject involves the construction of a 132 kV double circuit transmission line from New Rohri substation to existing 132 Gumbat substation, the line will have off take point at Mauza Aror of Taluka Rohri (Figure 2).The subproject also includes the construction of a double circuit line that connects the existing 132 kV Old Rohri substation to existing 132 Khairpur transmission line. The transmission lines will consist of about 74 km of twin conductor 132kV dual circuit transmission line. Substation (Rohri 220 kV) is not the part of this subproject

34. Depending upon the type of tower and subsoil condition, the tower footings have variable dimensions. However a minimum of 150m2 working area is required for the excavation of normal foundations and upwards of 250m2 for the larger angle towers. The depth of excavation for the normal foundation varies from about 3 to 4 m. The excavation for tower footing is carried out either manually or by mechanical excavator as per site requirements.

35. After fixing steel reinforcements concreting the piles the necessary excavation ditch is refilled with excavated material and the site is brought to the original ground level. As such, only four tower pedestals protrude above the ground level by about 0.15 m for normal foundations and about 1.8 m for pile foundations.

36. Tower/Pole erection is carried out on the concreted pile pad locations with the help of derrick poles or cranes. The required working area for this activity is about 500m2 for each tower. The tower is erected in panels of 2m to 3m height. The panels are assembled on the

12 ground, lifted in parts with the help of derrick poles/crane and then joined together with nuts and bolts, which are tightened at the specified torque.

37. There are roads, tracks and unpaved roads/dirt tracks and ponds in the vicinity of the line route. The line alignment ensures that a minimum of the population and infrastructure is affected. Accessibility will not be a problem. There are tracks and tracks available to the contractor who should not have to develop any new access roads/tracks for transporting the materials. This should results in very little if any damage to the vegetation or disruption of the farmland in the vicinity of the TXL. The whole length of the proposed transmission line is approachable through a number of major or minor metalled roads and village tracks. Almost all the village tracks are linked to the metalled roads and are thus accessible to vehicles. The contractor is unlikely to need to transport the materials manually. In any event care will be taken that the disruption to the vegetation is kept to a minimum.

38. The environmental impacts are likely to be localized near the supporting tower/pole construction at most places and impacts are reviewed in the environmental impact section of the report. The impacts will need to be reviewed and amended if necessary if the locations change and when the detailed designs are available.

E. Alternatives

39. The Tranche-1 subprojects will contribute to the improvement of the overall performance of the power transmission sector, improving transmission efficiency, broadly widening access to power to drive economic opportunities. The beneficiaries of the Project will be people, companies, and government and non-government agencies in Pakistan that use power transmission services. Power users will benefit in terms of secure power and improved power safety and potentially increased productivity.

40. Do nothing scenario: Predictions have indicated that, without T1 power transmission subproject, supply will not be as reliable as with the project in purely power transmission terms based on the available information. The project is part of an overall strategic improvement to the system. In absence of the subproject, the potential for interruptions to power supply will increase and socio-economic development of the provinces could be affected in the short to medium term. In an un-enhanced state the potential for interruptions to supply and increased wear and tear on equipment (transformers etc) will be enhanced.

41. Alternative construction methods: The feasibility and constructability of the transmission line towers is well established locally and the construction of TXL and installation of equipment is well practiced in the international context (even if some types of equipment are new Pakistan). The process basically includes the transportation of equipment to site and the assembly of prefabricated units in-situ. Thus the impacts from construction per se are very manageable from the environmental viewpoint.

42. Alternative geometry: Line design of 132 kV Rohri to Gambat transmission lines avoids the local villages by selecting a route bypassing these villages. In case where it becomes impossible to select alternative routes angle towers are utilized to obtain vertical and horizontal clearance. It will cross rural areas and agricultural land, only about 10% land is productive. Some further detailed surveys may be carried at construction stage to suit contractors' requirements; however, the line design, line route and location of towers should not significantly alter.

43. The extent of land acquisition is presently anticipated to be none as this is a transmission line subproject and according to the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Framework (LARF) and Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP), land under the towers is not to be paid if access to farmers to this land is not hindered after completion of construction activities. The present assumption is that the transmission line will be completed as planned on the defined alignment as described in Figure 2.

F. Proposed Schedule for Implementation

44. The Project Proponent (NTDC) plans to have the T1 completed by mid to late 2013. The details for the implementation of the subprojects are in development. There will not be any land acquisition or compensation process since no land is required. There will, however, be need for compensation for damages to crop/trees, and orchards. The LARP provides estimates of these damages .The project will be offered to bidders in about 3 months from approval from ADB. Award of contract will take place about 3 to 6 months from receipt of bids. The construction period is estimated to be about 18 months to 2 years. The preliminary schedule is presented in Attachment 5.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. Project Area

1. General Characteristics of Project Area

45. The Rohri Gambat 132 kV double circuit transmission line will traverse mostly unproductive barren lands (88%) which is mostly plain (some hills in Aror village of Taluka Rohri) and some partially agricultural lands (12%) avoiding all the compact housing area and date palm orchards; only four scattered residential–cum–farm mud–houses and five (date palm, banana and mango) orchards will be partially affected, as well as some seasonal agricultural crops. The TXL is at a minimum distance of 0.22 km, and generally at 3 to 5 km, from the main Highway. Figure 4 shows the TXL route location.

46. There are houses including residential and other social infrastructure and other transmission lines that are located within 100m of the proposed transmission line. The Rohri to Khairpur Road will pass through Nara Canal minors. Watercourses, ponds and roads (Attachment-7) are in the vicinity of the line route. However by using angle towers and by locating the TXL on mainly unproductive land the settlements are avoided and there are only four locations where the line is immediately adjacent to residential or school property based on the alignment provided by NTDC

47. Erection of each of the tower may require working room of up to 500m2 however there is plenty of room available in barren unproductive and the agriculture fields for the towers needed to support the line on the cultivated private land. Provisions have been made in the LARP to compensate the cost of damages of crops and damage to trees. Access to the TXL will be from the Rohri Khairpur Road and existing approach roads from Rohri Khairpur Road. There should be no need to disturb any existing roads and watercourses, based on the current alignment subject to reconfirmation after detailed designs are complete.

2. Affected Administrative Units

48. The alignment of the transmission lines were altered slightly at a number of places, by providing angle towers (diversions) to avoid both housing areas and most fruit orchards. Double circuit 132kV transmission line (62.9 km with 286 towers) from the New Rohi 220/132kV Sub- Station (to be constructed) to the existing Gambat 132kV substation, will be constructed partially in Sukkur district and partially in Khairpur district (Sindh province). Side Lines both the incoming and outgoing double circuit 132kV transmission lines (11.118 km with 47 towers), connecting the existing Rohri-Khairpur-Gambat 132kV transmission line with New Rohri 220/132kV Sub- Station, will be constructed in Sukkur district. The villages affected are presented as follows:

49. For the purpose of this study the Rohri Gambat TXL Subproject has been assumed to affect all the adjacent local authorities and interviews have been conducted with the public from all along the TXL corridor. In addition to the main villages there are about few isolated houses and hamlets scattered along the length of the proposed TXL.

B. Physical Resources

1. Topography, Geography, Geology, and Soils

50. The western half of the district Sukkur forms a vast alluvial plain, broken only at Sukkur and Rohri by low limestone hills, which tend to preserve a permanent bank for the Indus at those places. Large patches of salt land (Kalar) occur frequently, especially in the upper part of the district. The desert portion of the Rohri sub-division, known as the Ragistan, possesses extensive sand hills. There are no hills in the district except the low range on the northern extremity, of which Sukkur and Rohri are built and which run-southward from that point to Khairpur district boundary. They extend for some forty five kilometers into that district spreading out to a width of twenty seven kilometers. Their highest elevation is about twenty four meters above mean sea level. They are nummulitic limestone and belong to the same group as the Khairpur range to which they resemble in their rugged and barren aspect. There are four prominent hills, namely “Adam Shah” hill near Sukkur, “Kalka” hill at Aror, “Laheri” hill at Rohri and “Shadi Shaheed” hill at Kandhra hill. The land gradually slopes from north-east to south- west. The general elevation of land surface varies form about 50 to 100 m above sea level.

51. The Khairpur District may be divided into two parts the plain cultivated area in the west comprising Khairpur, Gambat, Kot Diji, Mirwah and Faizganj taluka where irrigation and influence of the Indus River and its canal extends. The south eastern half of the Khairpur district is the second part which consists of hills of wind blown sand running in parallel rows from northeast to southeast. This is known as Ragistan and is part of the great desert which continues into Tharparker district. A range of hills which starts south of Rohri Taluka of Sukkur district rising to a height of about 150 meters above the sea and 100 meters above the surrounding plain continues in the same direction for about 45 kilometers further after passing into the Khairpur district. The soils of the district are numerous, each with its different characteristics. The desert portion of the district is very extensive and is covered with sand hills. The western boundary of Khairpur and Gambat Taluka is formed by the river and is covered with forests.

52. The soils of the district Sukkur, and Khairpur are of numerous varieties, each with different characteristics. These are Latiari -a soil formed from the silt of the inundation; Tanak – the hard soil left by repeated inundation; Thariari – a crooked soil, often seen near the river with great cracks in it; Gesari -- dusty soil; Rabba -- hollow and Khariri -- an uneven soil; Pat--a good soil and wariasi -- sandy soil; kalaar or saline soil, covered on the surface with an efflorescence

16 of carbonate of soda; and Thaith Kaller a very salty soil, Sailabi - the heavily saturated soil with moisture which requires no water from seed time to harvest.

2. Climate and Hydrology

53. There is little variation of altitude above sea level in the land along the alignment. The small change in altitude in both the districts means no variation between the climates of the project area. The climate at Rohri, Khairpur is typical of that of the Sindh.

54. In these two Districts, the maximum temperature in summer reaches 44oC. In winter the minimum is 4.5oC. The mean maximum and minimum temperatures in summer for this period are 44° and 29° respectively and in winter 23oC and 9oC respectively. The summer season starts from April and continues till October. May, June and July are the hottest months. The winter season starts from November and continues till March, December, January and February are the coldest months.

55. The rainy season starts in July and ends in September. Annual rainfall is 166.8 millimeter. More rains occur in July and August than any other months. Most of the winter rains are received in the months of March and April.

3. Groundwater and Water Supply

56. Irrigation is largely dependent on the canals, but tube wells have also been sunk in the areas where water is fit for irrigation. The chemical quality of groundwater in the district varies area wise and depth wise. The sweet potable water is available along canals otherwise groundwater is brackish. Irrigation supplies are perennial and tube wells have been installed to make up the deficiencies. The strata near the TXL are water bearing and alluvial deposits, giving groundwater potential throughout the subproject area and the water table is fairly near the surface at 20 to 25 feet. The water table is not seasonal and dug wells do not generally run dry. Groundwater sources exist in the area and there are tube wells within 500m of the proposed TXL towers. The local population in most of the TXL is generally reliant on supply from tube wells and pumps. Piped water supply is available in 38% and 16 % housing units of Sukkur and Khairpur, respectively, while hand pumps are used in 40% and 68% inside the houses in Sukkur, and Khairpur (Gambat). There should be no impact on these sources of water during the construction. 2005 Pakistan Council of Research for Water resources (PCRWR) data present drinking water data for Sukkur (Rohri) , which is : samples exceeding World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines : turbidity 58% ; iron 75% ; sodium 25% and Total Dissolved Salts (TDS) 64% .PCRWR 2001 and 2002 data indicates that : turbidity 40% samples exceed WHO guidelines ; hardness – 33% samples exceed WHO guidelines ; 17% samples in Sukkur were found unfit for human consumption on E-Col count ..Tube well water analysis ,TDS , of three locations near the transmission line were quoted as: Arror (About 10 km from the Rohri sub station) 757 mg/L ; 1 km from Arror 630 mg/L ; Bhit Noor Shah 777 mg/L . National Water Quality Monitoring Program present 2001-04 data of water quality at Sukkur (Rohri) as : alkalinity 1.2 mg/L ; calcium 3.2 mg/L ; chloride 6 mg/L ; fluoride 0.1 mg/L ; nitrates 1.1 mg/L ; sulphates 43 mg/Land E.Coli 0 /100mL .

4. Surface water

57. Rivers and Tributaries: Indus is the only river which passes through the north western boundary of the Sukkur district and it traverse to the whole length of Khairpur district and its direction of flow is from north to east to south-west. In width, it ranges from 450 to 1500 meters. 17

The average during the low season being 650 meters. During floods it is more than a kilometer wide. Its depth varies from 1 to 8 meters; the water is of a dirty brown color. At Sukkur it passes through the gorge between Sukkur and Rohri towns, the island of Bukkur bisecting the channel. The westerly drift of the Indus continues and Indus flows more or less amid way stage through the alluvial belt, shut in by the limestone of the Khairpur on the west and the sand hills of the Ragistan on the east. The area over which its waters can spread or be distributed is about 16 million acres. There are no marshes or lakes / streams in the subproject area. Water quality of Indus at Sukkur is quoted by PRCWR as : ph 7.1- 7.5 ; TDS 257-487 mg/L ; faecal coli form 150-400 /100mL ; chlorides 6-100 mg/L ; sulphates 4.2-10.5 mg/L .TDS at Sukkur barrage (starting point of Nara Canal and the line) is quoted as : 180-200 mg/L based on 2007 measurements .

58. Irrigation: The Sukkur and Khairpur (Gambat Districts) depend mainly on canals. In these districts main sources of irrigation are Janib Wah, Korai Wah, Mahesro Wah, Jari Wah, L.M. Feeder, Lundhi Wah, Qazi Wah, Dingro Wah, Massu Wah, Mahro Wah, Mahi Wah, Dahar Feeder, Sehar Wah, Kander Branch, Dahar Minor and Guddu Feeder which offtake from Sukkur Barrage and irrigates Sukkur / Rohri. The other means of irrigation are a few wells and tubewells. The katcha area within the river protective bunds is brought under cultivation during Rabi season, which is termed as Sailabi cultivation. Similarly the Ragistan portion of the Rohri Taluka is brought under cultivation when there is good rain. The entire area of Rohri Taluka depends upon river spill inundation canals and tube wells and its small portions irrigated by Nara canal for cultivation. The nearest irrigation channel is the Nara Canal which runs through the project Ragistan portion of Nara is brought under cultivation when there are good rains. But very little barani cultivation is possible in Khairpur District.

59. Cultivation must always depend mainly on canals and in this district also main sources of irrigation are three canals known as East Feeder. West Feeder and Nara canal. The other means of irrigation are a few wells and tube wells. The line crosses the Nara Canal between tower nos. 14 and 15 .Attachment 7 presents all canal crossings and Annexure 1 presents the canal crossing with reference to the line route. The Nara Canal crossing is presented as follow :

5. Air Quality

60. Air quality in the subproject area appears good based on observation during the study period. Domestic sources of air pollution, such as emissions from wood and kerosene burning stoves as well as small diesel standby generators in some households, are well dissipated. There are no other industrial pollution sources are present in the vicinity.

61. The other major source of air pollution is dust arising from construction and other ground or soil disturbance. Near the access roads, when vehicles pass, dust levels will increase. The nearby road is paved but dust levels are elevated when vehicles pass intermittently over the roads based on field observations and may be high enough to obscure vision significantly based on observations in May 2007.

6. Noise, vibration

62. Noise from vehicles and other powered mechanical equipment is intermittent. There are also the occasional calls to prayer from the PA systems at the local mosques but there are no significant disturbances to the quiet rural setting. However the construction from the proposed power expansion will use powered mechanical equipment. Subjective observations were made of background noise and also of individual vehicle pass by events. Based on professional experience background daytime noise levels are probably well below 55dB(A)L90.

C. Ecological Resources

1. Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquatic Biology

63. There are no areas of wildlife significance near the Subproject area. At present in these two districts jackals (canis aureus) are fairly common whereas hyenas (Hyaena hyaenidac) and wolves (Canis palfipes) are hardly seen. Foxes (Vulpes bengalensis) are seen in rapidly contracting area of dry waste. Hog deer are seen along the bank of Indus and wild boar (Sus cristatus), though much diminished are still found in small numbers. Hares (Lagomorpha lepus) and deer are fairly common. Indus reach from Guddu to Taunsa Barrage is the main habitat of Indus Dolphin. Among the birds the partridge (Francolinus pondocerainanes) is abundant. Both grey and black partridges are very common in the forest plantation. Waterfowls are also found penetrating the field of green wheat and kunj are also regular winter visitors. The other birds found in the district are alexandrine – large Indian parakeet (Psittacula eupatria), white-breasted water-hen (Amauromis phoenicurus), sirkeer malkoha – cuckoo (Taccua leschenaultia) and Indian scoops owl (Otus bakkamoena), kites (Milvus migrans govinda), crows (Corvus splenders) and Houbara bustard.

64. There are no reservoirs or other water bodies within the line right of way. However, Indus River, Sukkur barrage and Nara Canal are the main water bodies / ponding areas which are the closet water sources. These water bodies form a habitat for a large number of fish species. The major commercial fish species according to Department of Fisheries, Sukkur / Khairpur include Catla catla (Theila), Channa marulius (Saul), Cirrhinus mrigala (Mori) and Cyprinus carpio (Gulfam), Nangra robusta, Cirrinus mrigala, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Labeo rohita Labio calbasu, Amblypharyngodon mala, Aploccheilas panchux, Aspidoaria morar, Barilius naseeri, Eutropiichtys vacha, The Rohri to Gambat section of the transmission line does cross the Nara Canal and ponds ( these are ponds located close to the Gumbat substation, and are within the line right of way . these ponds , however, are man made i.e. a result of illegal 19 aggregate mining and the rising ground water has converted these ditches in to a brackish water ponds , these ponds are not protected and have ,little or no ecological value) and one tower location will have part of the tower footing within the reach of one of the pond.

2. Terrestrial Habitats, Forests and Protected Species

a. Vegetation Cover and Trees

65. The subproject area, which is sub tropical and semi-arid, is dominated by rural suburbs and with various productive fields of monocultures that now dominate the agro-ecosystems present in the subproject area. Common floral species with rooted vegetation are also present near most of the water bodies of the area.

66. The forests of Sindh generally follow the course of the river Indus. The greater number of the subproject area and forests are strictly riparian. Some of the riparian blocks have lately been converted into inland forests. Forest consists of four types of trees namely Acacia arabica or babul (acacia arabica); Prosopis spicigera or kandi; Populus euphractica or bahan; and two species of tamarisk, Tamarix gellica and T.dioica, called lai and jhao respectively and can be divided into three bands according to their distance from the river. The first is the bahan tamarix band, the second bearing babul, the third is characterized by kandi growing always in very open order frequenting the highest and driest parts and occupying, on the whole the largest area of the tree. Populus euphractica or bahan is grown in the immediate area of inundation. Tamarix gellica and T.dioica exists chiefly in the new lands thrown up by the Indus in Khairpur district.

67. Common trees found in the subproject area are, Zizyphus jujube or ber,; Azadiracha indica or nim, Albizzia labbak or Siras; Ficus bengalensis, Banyan or wad and F.religiosa, pipal; Tamrindus indica, tamarind; Acacia farnesiana, Villayati babul; Cordial myxa, Lesuri and C.rothii, liar; Parkinsonia aculeta, Vilayati kikar; Casuarinas equisetifolia, Popuines, bhendi, Capparis aphylla, kirir; Salvadora persica; Khabar, the mustard-tree of spripture. Common vegetation found in the subproject area includes Euphorbia nercifolia, tamarix gallica, acacia nilotica, zizyphus numularia, prosopis specigena, ficus religiosa, eucalyptus canaldulensis, Melica azadirchta indica, colotropis procera. Other minor produce from the forests are reeds from sar and kanh grasses (Saccharum spontaneum and arundinaceum), T. Dioca, Salvadora oleoides, Hyperanthera pterysperma.

b. Protected and Religious Trees

68. There is no protected forest near the Rohri Gambat 132 kV Subproject. During 1997-98 the total area under forest in Sukkur district was 51,000 hectares which yielded 55,000 cft of timber and 27,000 cft. of firewood besides other minor products. However, RoW and TXL will likely to affect some trees. There are also planted trees along canals and roads. The major trees grown in the forest are Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Kikar (Acacia arabica) and Eucalyptus. Other trees found in the forest limits including bushes are Zuzyphus jujube Azadirachta indica, papal and albizzia lebbek and ficus bengalensis. Mehrano, Keti Pir Pagaro and Ranipur shikargah are the important forests of Khairpur district. There are many trees along the RoW but these are on private land. In general permission should be sought from Divisional Forest Officer of Forest Department and the local tree owners for the felling of any trees. LARP for the SLSP will make provision for compensation of local people for the loss of trees, if needed after detailed study. The works must deal with trees that need to be lopped or removed for safety reasons with the necessary permissions. Although the line route avoids : protected wet

20 lands and ; wildlife sanctuary , the line route is in the vicinity of these areas . Protected areas are described in 3 below .

3. Protected Areas / National Sanctuaries

69. In Pakistan there are several areas of land devoted to the preservation of biodiversity through the dedication of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Three wetlands and reservoirs namely the Indus River, Sukkur Barrage and Nara Canal Wetland Complex (NWC) exist in the subproject area. These water bodies provide excellent feeding, breeding and resting habitats to numerous migratory as well as sedentary birds. The water reservoirs are located on one of the major bird migration routes of the world, the Indus Flyway. The NWC is a Ramsar site (located in either side of the Nara Canal) which is ecologically very important for containing representative, rare or unique wetland types and / or for conserving biological diversity. Situated in tehsil Nara district Khairpur Nara and associated wetlands form a complex of wetlands in the Nara desert region which extends from Ghotki, Sukkur, Khairpur to Sanghar district. The NWC is a complex of about 200 small, medium and large wetlands. Some are seasonal, most are permanent. These wetlands are freshwater to brackish to saline, stretching from the town of Juneji in the North to the Jamrao Head in the south. These wetlands lie on either side of Nara canal which is the largest canal of Sindh having a cultivable area of 108 Mha. It originates from Sukkur Barrage along with Khairpur Feeder and the Rohri Canal. Woodland, riparian forest, scrub and desert shrubs occur on both sides of Nara Canal. These wetlands along with the aquatic vegetation, reed beds and woodlands are the habitat for a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. The NWC boundary (inclusive of the wildlife sanctuary) is presented below 21

70. The Nara Wetland complex (Wildlife Sanctuary ) is a complex of three major habitats- -desert, wetland and forestland. It lies 330 kilometers northeast of Karachi and represents an example of a natural inland wetland ecosystem comprising 29 lakes. These lakes include Akro, Chaachh, Loon Khan and Jansar, Mirco, Allah Dino, Mureed Waro, Masset Waro, Batnion, Sanahry 1, Sanahry 2, Taker, Karang, Bandan Wari, Wasso Wash, Baron Waron, Kinro, Murhne, Khararo, Kandy Waro, Chugri, Chhamb, Bolahi, Hadero, Baro, Khurand Wah, Khan Wari, Manak Waro, Wallan, Akan Wari and Shore Jee lakes . Wildlife Sanctuary is an aggregate of lakes, which have come into existence as a result of seepage from irrigation channel Nara. The Nara Canal is the second largest canal of Sindh, and has a great history attached to it. The Indus from time immemorial overtops its Left Bank in low places, between Reti and Rohri. During the inundation period, the floodwater would eventually find its way to the Natural Drainage in eastern Sindh . The NWC is located on both sides of the Nara Canal, the transmission line crosses the Nara Canal much before the NWC boundary starts (see para 59 above),the line route are presented in Annexure 1 and also in Figure 5 below.

Figure 5: Nara Canal Wildlife Complex and Transmission Line Route

71. The area (presented in Figure 5 above and in Annexure 1 is more than 5 km away from the line route) is of ecological value as far as the biodiversity is concerned. There is a very characteristic ecosystem having a chain of wetlands in a desert habitat. The Nara Canal and a belt of land along the canal totaling area of 108,960 ha starting from Sorah to Jamrao Head is a game reserve. It was established in 1972. The ecosystem of the game reserve is a mixture of desert and wetlands. The game reserve was established for the protection of hog deer, grey and black partridges and the crocodiles in the canal and the dhands. There is also the Nara Desert Wildlife Sanctuary in the area. Its area is 223,590 ha which was created mainly for the 23 protection of Chinkara, grey partridges and houbara bustard .Para 69 presents the proposed boundary of the complete Nara Complex including : wet lands and ; wild life sanctuary .

72. The protected area have twenty one species of mammals, 134 species of birds and 16 species of reptiles were recorded from the area. Hog deer, smooth–coated otter, marbled teal, marsh crocodile are the keystone species/species associated with high wetland values (Ghalib et al., 2004). The area supports 198 marsh crocodiles out of 480 reported in Sindh province (Javed and Rehman 2003). Nara canal and the following 14 wetlands are important for supporting marsh crocodile: Torti, Somen, Harni, Ganjo, Shenhlo, Dholaho, Chaho, Nagiopeer, Simni, Samabi, Akhero, Badrami, Derhan and Chhoti dhand.

73. Certain wetlands are very important for supporting the following threatened or rare / less common water birds: Ruddy shelduck, Tadorna ferruginea (Dangree, Talaho and Wichawaro dhands), Shelduck, T. tadorna (Dangree and Nagiopeer dhands), Ferruginous duck, Aythya nyroca (Dangree, Jagheer, Khakro and Kathor dhands), Greater flamingo, Phoenicopterus roseus (Jagheer dhand), Spot bill duck, Marmaronetta angustirostris (Dholaho dhand), Black ibis, pseudibis papillosa (Putkan, Ganjo and Maywaywari dhand), Garganey, Anas querquedela (Samabi dhand), Indian darter, Anhinga melanogaster (Simni, Badrami and Derhan dhands), Grey–log goose, Anser anser (Jagheer dhand). There are protected areas near the transmission line like Takkar Wildlife Sanctuary ( included within the map presented in Figure 5 above) and Nara Game Reserve. The line route avoids both areas, however, detailed investigation is being carried out with the help of Sindh Wildlife Department and NOC will be obtained from Wildlife Department, Sindh.

D. Economic Development

1. Agriculture, Industries & Tourism

74. Cropping Pattern: Major crops grown in the subproject area are wheat in the rabi season (winter-spring), and cotton and rice in the kharif season (summer-autumn). This dominant cropping pattern of wheat-cotton and rice rotation covers 99% of the farmland, while maize/fodder and vegetables are grown on the remaining lands. Thus, the subproject’s impact assessment has been made on the basis of wheat, cotton and rice crop losses. The total farmland area to be temporarily affected by this subproject, in terms of crop losses, is presented in Table 3.4 below

Table 2: Area of Affected Crops* by Type of Line and Districts (Gambat 132kV TL)

75. Horticulture: The main fruits grown in the area are guavas, dates, orange, lemon, grapefruit, sweet lime, sour lime, mosami, tangerine (kino), potato, peas, onion are grown. The most important crops of Kharif are cotton, oilseed and sugarcane, whereas main crops during Rabi are wheat and gram. Rice, maize, pulses, chilies, barley, millet (bajra), tobacco, etc. are also grown in the district.

76. Minerals: The subproject area is not rich in minerals. However, two minerals salt and salt-petre and two stone quarries and one Fuller earth quarry are found in Sukkur district. There are no mines and mineral resources of any importance in the Khairpur district.

77. Industry: Among important industries in the subproject area cotton textiles, cement, leather, tobacco and cigarettes, paint and varnish, pharmaceuticals, agricultural implements, hand pumps, lock-making rice-husking, oil mills, biscuit factories and confectionery, lace and zari manufacturing, thread ball spooling, trunk making brass-wares, cutlery and ceramics. There are a large variety of other cottage industries located in various parts of the subproject area. These include dyeing and printing works, boat making, fishing line, plastic works, durri making, and fold embroidery. Khairpur district is famous for its cottage industry. Several hand looms operate in the town of Khairpur and Gambat which produce various types of cloths viz grabis, sossies and lungies. Gambat is also famous for the production of costly and impressive Khes. There are 2 sugar mills, 4 date factories, 18 cotton and ginning mills, 18 hand looms and 9 ice factories in Khairpur district.

78. Tourism: There are many places of interest those attract tourists and promote tourisms. There is no archaeological place of significance in the subproject are and sites that exist are away form the subproject area e.g. Aror (the ruins of the ancient Hindu town, lie about 8 km to the southeast of Rohri), Rohri is situated on a rocky eminence of limestone on the western side of a precipice 12 m high rising from the bank of the river, Jamia Masjid building constructed in 1583, Masjid Mir Yaqub Ali Shah, one graveyard dated 1018 to 1301 A.H. carved stones with Arabic inscriptions from the Holy Quran are also found, Lansdowne Bridge, Ayub Bridge, Minaret of Masum Shah. Kot D.G. Fort, Sachal Sarmast Library, Mausoleum of Hazrat Sachal Sarmast are famous places in Khairpur district.

2. Transportation

79. The subproject area is linked with the rest of the country by rail and roads. TXL subproject area is approachable through the Rohri–Khairpur and access road to Gambat Khairpur with the rest of the country. The district headquarters are connected with metalled roads to all its headquarters. All talukas and villages of subproject area are connected with the district headquarters through metalled roads. The subproject area is also served by railway line which runs along the main metalled of the districts. Rohri is a railway junction the Karachi- 25

Peshawar Main railway line passes through Rohri taluka. Rohri-Jacobabad road enters Jacobabad district near Begari canal from where it goes to Balochistan.

80. The subproject area is also connected by air with Karachi and other towns through Sukkur Airport. PIA operates regular flights from Sukkur to other parts of the country. A new airport terminal has recently been built and Khairpur is connected by air through Sukkur Airport.

3. Energy Sources

81. The distribution lines for electrical power run to a main grid substation 132 kV Sukkur. The existing 132 kV Sukkur-Rohri Grid Station and Gambat 132 kV Grid station owned by HESCO, transmit power to the load centers.

82. Reserves of fossil fuels the main sources of energy in Pakistan others are derived from hydropower. In the study area there is no source of hydropower and other energy sources are progressively more common further away from the major towns. The biomass sourcing is concentrated on home garden production of fuel wood, the extraction of wood from forests, woodland, crop plantations and agricultural residues. The other significant energy sources in the area are kerosene and LPG. There are numerous petrol stations and LPG dealers in the district. E. Social and Cultural Resources

1. Population Communities and Employment

83. Total population of the districts Sukkur 908,373, (Rohri Taluka is 224,362), Khairpur District 1,546,587 (Gambat Taluka 146,436 persons as enumerated in March 1998. The 1998 Census, the population showed that these districts are predominantly 97%, Muslims. The important minority is Hindu constituting 3% in Sukkur and Khairpur, higher at 5% in urban areas of Khairpur–Gambat as compared to 2% in the rural areas and all remaining minorities are reported as quite negligible. Sindhi is mostly predominant language spoken by 75% of population in Sukkur and 94% in Khairpur followed by Urdu and Punjabi sharing 14% and 7% in Sukkur, 1% and 3% in Khairpur respectively. Other languages spoken in the districts are Balochi, Siraiki and Pushto.

84. The economically active population of the Sukkur area is 22%. Among the employed population, 57% is self-employed, 1% working as private employees, 35% working as government employees and 6% as unpaid family helpers. While in Khairpur District among the employed population 73% are self employed in urban areas, higher at 76% in rural areas as compare to 62% in urban areas. It is worth–mentioning that most of the self employed are males. The next important percentage is employees (Government) at 14%, much higher in urban areas at 26% as compared to 11% in rural areas. The percentage of unpaid family helpers has been reported at 6 three times females at 21% as compared to 6 percent males. Employees (private) have been reported as 6% in the district, higher at 8% in urban areas in comparison to 4% in rural areas.

85. The main occupation of women in rural areas including subproject area of Sukkur, and Khairpur (Gambat) is house-keeping which includes attending to the cattle, extracting butter and Ghee from milk, weaving and sewing of family clothes. In addition they generally help their menfolk on farms with the lighter duties like transplanting of seedlings, threshing and winnowing of grains and some times they also help in harvesting. Majority of the women prefer independent life as housewives. In city women are housewives or work as professional’s doctors, nurses, teaching.

2. Education and Literacy

86. The literacy ratio of the Sukkur was 50% and in Khairpur 36% in 1998. The male literacy ratio is higher at 60% and 50% as compared to 31% & 20% for female in 1998 in Sukkur and Khairpur districts respectively. There are sharp differences in the literacy ratios by sex and area. The ratio in urban areas is higher at 49%, 51% as compared to only 25% and 31% in rural areas of Sukkur, and Khairpur respectively. The male literacy in rural areas is more than three times in Sukkur in Khairpur to female literacy ratio. The following table shows the number of educational institutions in these Districts.

4. Culture Heritage Community Structure

88. There are no official protected heritage sites of historic or religious or archeological importance along the line except the ruins of the ancient Hindu town, lie about 8 km to the south east of Rohri located in the subproject works areas. However, the alignment directly passes over the twin tombs of two sisters which have historic and cultural importance. There is also an old graveyard, and a mosque attributed to Muhammad Bin Qasim within 50 meters of the power line corridor, both having historic and cultural importance. A No Objection Certificate (NOC) will need to be obtained from the Provincial Archaeology Department for executing the works, and for incorporating the necessary protection measures in the project design and construction schedule. There is no major historic or archaeological feature of note but there are a few places of worship e.g. a mosque and temple within about 500 m of the works.

89. The subproject area is inhabited by variety of tribes. The main Baloch tribes Rindh, Chandio, Khoso and Lagharis and. non-Balochi tribes Samats, Sumras, Dahars, Mehars, Bhuttos, Bhayas, Sayyad, Qureshis and Memons.are inhabited in Sukkur . Among Hindus the Labana, Brahmans, Rajputs, Samati and Kolis, Bhils and Mahadev Kolis are residing. While Khairpur (Gambat) District is inhabited by Baloch, Sheikh, Mamon, Soomro, Qureshi, Talpur, Phulpata, Syed, Nareja, Channa, Tunio, Wassan, Ujan, Ghumro, Rajpur, MahaChar, Unnar and Machh.

IV. SCREENING POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Project Location

1. Impact Assessment and Mitigation

90. This project will involve construction of 132 kV transmission lines. Most sensitive receivers are set well back from the power lines; some are just outside the RoW within 10m of the subproject in some areas.

91. The location and scale of the works are very important in predicting the environmental impacts. This process of impact prediction is the core of the IEE process and it is critical that the recommendations and mitigation measures are carried out according to with reference to the conditions on the ground in the affected areas in the spirit of the environmental assessments process. In this section the potential environmental impacts are reviewed. Where impacts are significant enough to exceed accepted environmental standards, mitigation is proposed in order to reduce residual impact to acceptable levels and achieve the expected outcomes of the

28 project being implemented (minimization of crop and asset damages; noise and dust mitigation; redress of damages to infrastructure; management of transport and construction machinery to minimize inconvenience to adjoining settlements; minimize invasion of privacy impacts). Therefore, it is essential that a proper analysis is carried out during the project planning period. In this regard, the impact prediction plays a vital role as these predictions are used for developing mitigation measures and any alternative options, if appropriate. When the detailed designs are completed the impacts and mitigation measures will need to be further reviewed to take account of how the contracts are set up and in the light of any fine tuning of the subproject proposals.

92. The potential environmental impacts in the design, construction and operational phases are assessed below. Where impacts are significant enough to exceed accepted environmental standards, mitigation is proposed in order to reduce residual impact to acceptable levels and achieve the expected outcomes of the project. The criteria for assessment are the national standards and criteria set by the GOP. Where GOP has not set a standard or guideline criterion the standards given in World Banks publication Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook7 are used as criteria. The EMP is presented in Appendix 2 as a matrix of mitigation measures to prevent or minimize the impacts

93. The environmental management plan (Section 5 and EMP matrix Attachment 2) shall be revised at project inception and through construction in order to feed back any significant unpredicted impacts. It is based on the analysis of impacts, primarily to document key environmental issues likely to arise from subproject project implementation, to prescribe mitigation measures to be integrated in the project design, to design monitoring and evaluation schedules to be implemented during subproject project construction and operation, and to estimate costs required for implementing subproject mitigation measures. The EMP plan must be reviewed at the subproject inception by the project management and approved before any construction activity is initiated, to take account of any subsequent changes and fine tuning of the proposals.

B. Environmental Impacts During Detailed Design and Pre-construction Phase

94. The line alignment of the Project and construction are critical in determining the environmental impacts and route selection and the related impacts have been discussed in Chapter 2. There are also a number of other matters that will require detailed designs that consultant engineers will prepare and it is assumed that the detailed designs will avoid construction impacts by good design and to minimize operational environmental pollution impacts as far as practicable. In line with ADB policy on environmentally responsible procurement, opportunities to provide environmental enhancements have been identified and will also be included in the detailed designs. Routine matters such as avoiding unnecessary removing of trees will also require attention in the detailed design and preconstruction stages. Opportunities for enhancements during detailed design, construction and operation, which are envisaged at this stage, have also been included in the EMP to be reviewed at the detailed design stage (DDS).

7 Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook 1998, World Bank Group, Washington D.C. 29

1. Review of impact assessment, mitigation, and EMP

95. The EMP will be reviewed during the implementation phase at the detailed design stage in line with best practice as required by ADB. A check will be made at the detailed design stage that the alignment has been designed as planned to ensure the route is as described in the EIA and the RRP for ADB with the same land acquisition. If there are changes in project scope or alignment these will be disclosed to EPA and the EIA, LARP and EMP will be revised. The revised EIA, LARP and EMP will be resubmitted to ADB, incorporating any recommendations and requirements from EPA.

96. The EMP (section 5 and EMP matrix Appendix 2) has been compiled based on the EMP principles promulgated by EPA, in a format familiar to ADB. The EMP is a working document and will need to be reviewed in due course at inception and throughout construction in order to feed back any significant unpredicted impacts. It is based on the analysis of impacts, primarily to document key environmental issues likely to arise from project implementation, to prescribe mitigation measures to be integrated in the contract documentation, project design, to design monitoring and evaluation schedules to be implemented during project construction and operation, and to estimate costs required for implementing mitigation measures. The EMP must be reviewed in the inception phase by the project management when the detailed designs are complete and the EMP will be approved by NTDC Environmental and Social Implementation Cell (ESIC) before any construction activity is initiated, to take account of any changes and fine tuning of the design proposals.

2. Social Impacts and Resettlement

97. The need for social preparation of the APs has been included in the social assessment. The LARP has been completed to clarify the entitlements for resettlement and for compulsory purchase of land and other matters for compensation. The social preparation will be completed prior to commencement of construction. All acquisition of lands and monetary compensation will be completed to minimize the uncertainty of people. All the payments/entitlements will be paid according to the principles established in the entitlement matrix prepared as an integral part of the LARP the details of which may be amended if there are changes in alignment.

3. Project disclosure

98. The preliminary design has been disclosed to the EPA and public consultations have been conducted based on the preliminary alignment designs presented in Appendix 10. The environmental clearances which will be required from EPA have also been identified (in principle) subject to confirmation at the Detailed Design Phase (DDS).

99. It is common for the alignment of power transmission line projects to undergo some or fine tuning during the detailed design phase.. The final alignment shall be disclosed to EPA at the detailed design stage and the EMP must be reviewed.

4. Environmentally Responsible Procurement (ERP)

100. During the detailed design phase and in preparation for the construction phase, the Detailed Design Cell (DDC) will prepare tender documents to make sure that future contractors will be prepared and primed to cooperate with the implementing agency, project management, supervising consultants and local population in the mitigation of environmental impacts.

101. The ADB guidelines on ERP8 recommend identification of opportunities to enhance design and avoid environmental pollution by choosing non-polluting or enhancing methods. In order to introduce this process as early as possible in the project the contractor will be required to submit with their tender a Method Statement and schedule of environmental mitigation measures in response to EMP. Contractual clauses will be included in the tender documents to tie the implementation of environmental mitigation measures to a performance milestones. The ESIC cell will check that contractors Method Statements submitted with tenders have made sufficient provisions and include plans and sufficient resources to implement the mitigation measures in the EMP that will be reviewed and updated as necessary at the detailed design stage.

102. In order to comply with best international practice and ADB guidelines all the new equipment will not contain Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or other hazardous or persistent polluting chemicals. Therefore in procurement documents it always shall be specified that transformers, transformer oil and other equipment are to be free from PCB and other petroleum fractions that may be injurious to environment or equipment. Although to date it has not been possible to identify any PCB containing equipment in the sites so far investigated, it is required that a plan will be made by NTDC to gradually phase out any isolated remaining items of existing equipment with transformer oil, breaker oil or other equipment that may contain PCB and this shall be done as soon as practicable.

103. The Detailed design Cell/Consultant (DDC) in cooperation with the ESIC cell will include in the tender documents and draft contracts requirements that will also include but not necessarily limited to the following:

(i) Minimize acquisition of agricultural land for temporary facilities (if needed) by selecting preferred locations in detailed designs for construction yards and asphalt plant on barren or marginal land and agree terms with local community. (ii) Potential solution spaces will be identified in advance by the DDC and approved by NTDC in consultation with the local community to ensure sufficient storage and disposal space for cut surface materials and to avoid fly-tipping. (iii) Include plans in detailed designs and programming that avoid community severance and minimize disturbance of pedestrians and vehicular traffic during construction. Detailed designs will also retain passageways along all footpaths, tracks and access ways near the project during construction. (iv) Designs will require hydrological and drainage impacts during construction to be minimize by early phasing of replacement of culverts and other infrastructure. These plans and designs will be included for in contracts. (v) Extensions and improvements to drainage culverts that fall under embankments of the project will be designed to account for increased runoff from rain due to climate change and included in detailed designs. (vi) Avoid disruption to and retain or re-provision current facilities for irrigation and potable water supply before construction works commence; that provisions are made to preserve the operation of current facilities for irrigation and potable water supply in sufficient quantity in agreement with the local community. (vii) Aim to provide some enhancements in line with ADB policy on environmentally responsible procurement and avoid negative impacts due to unnecessary removing of trees.

5. Planning Waste Disposal

104. Waste management plans (WMP) will be drawn up at the project planning stage of the subproject to ensure that waste disposal measures will be undertaken to reuse and recycle all materials wherever possible minimize the generation of waste. WMPs will be prepared for all subproject packages as part of the environmental management plan to ensure that the waste generated during the construction is disposed in an environment-friendly manner. With the proper implementation of an appropriate waste disposal plan, there will be no residual risk due to improper waste disposal. ADB Guidelines on Environmentally Responsible Procurement 2007 (ERP8) recommend reduction, reuse and recycling of waste.

6. Planning Hazardous Waste Disposal

105. The waste management plan (WMP) drawn up will also cover measures to be undertaken to reuse and recycle all equipment and oil wherever possible and minimize the generation of waste. WMPs shall ensure that any residual oily waste and other contaminated waste generated in the construction and operational phase is disposed in line with provincial EPA and local authority requirements. With the proper implementation of an appropriate waste disposal plan, there will be no residual risk due to improper waste disposal.

106. The selected contractor will prepare a Waste Management Plan that will be dovetailed including the management of oil and other waste materials; with disposal sites identified based on the agreement with the local authorities for agreement by ESIC 1 month prior to the commencement of construction work.

7. Avoiding adverse operational air quality and noise mitigation by design

107. The residential dwellings and other Sensitive Receivers near the Project are generally set back sufficiently so that operational impacts will not be sufficient to affect the sensitive receivers in the settlements. In order to preserve this acceptable situation NTDC must prevent encroachment of settlements into the ROW. Construction impacts including dust and fumes from erosion and earthworks will be controlled through the EMP. Operational air quality monitoring will only be carried out for reassurance purposes at the substations.

108. The accepted World Bank criterion9 of Leq55dB(A) or an increase in 3dB(A) at the sensitive receiver for noise sensitive developments such as residences, schools, colleges and hospitals is unlikely to be exceeded at any sensitive receivers in the villages during the operational phase based on the alignment. Based on the public consultation there also seems to be some local acceptance of the noise impacts that will come with the project. Therefore it is recommended that before mitigation is designed at the detailed design stage the acceptability of noise impacts on the residences and other sensitive receivers should be established with the local stakeholders to ensure no unacceptable nuisances arise.

8. Managing hydrological impacts

109. The proposed Project will cross numerous rivers and rivulets. The tower footings and support pads near the rivers will be designed to be safe during an occurrence of floods within the expected design life of the structures. At the same time, the design of the river crossing structures should be economical and within an acceptable risk limit.

110. Therefore to minimize and manage hydrologic flow at sites where flooding may occur, appropriate structures will be included in the detailed designs in order to cater for worst case flow and take account of increased rain from climate change during the life of the project. The contractor will also base calculations on available industry standard estimates of such increased flows that are available in the literature at the time (e.g. OECD10). The designs will also provide for redistributing sheet flows from surfaces to reduce erosion and other impacts. Designs will also include adequate major and minor lead off drainage facilities to the nearest water courses, as necessary. In order to minimize and manage hydrologic flow at bridges and culverts during construction a Drainage Plan will also be prepared by the contractor to control construction runoff and prepare to prevent flooding.

9. Planning for Erosion Control

111. The natural environment around the project is prone to erosion in some areas and the construction works will aggravate this situation. Therefore the necessary engineering controls for erosion protection measures need to be planned in advance. An Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage Plan will be compiled in order to avoid any significant or catastrophic erosion or landslide events. The Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage Plan will be agreed with ESIC cell at least 1 month prior to the commencement of construction. This will allow time for the contractor to make necessary provisions to install the soil erosion control and temporary drainage measure in good time. The plan will include all the constructed works and peripheral areas, particularly along access and haul tracks.

10. Planning Construction camps

112. Public consultation has also identified significant concerns about uncontrolled worker camp operations and stockpiling of construction materials.

113. The sites selected for worker camps and back up areas for stockpiling materials and equipment will be planned in advance in consultation with the local community and located to avoid the most productive agriculture and will use waste/barren land and non-agricultural plots as far as possible. Consultation will be undertaken with local authorities and land owners by the detailed design engineers to agree use of such lands before detailed designs are finalized and before construction contracts are signed and the arrangements will be reconfirmed by the construction contractors and notified to NTDC before construction commences.

11. Temporary Traffic Management

114. There are also concerns about blocking existing roads and many other footpaths and tracks near the route during construction. Therefore a provisional Temporary Pedestrian and Traffic Management plan will be prepared by the contractor that can be updated by the contractors and agreed with ESIC 1 month prior to start of works. Alternative footpaths and access should discussed in advance with the local authorities in the districts and signposted and be re provisioned before the start of construction.

12. Institutional strengthening and capacity building

115. The ESIC cell currently has few staff and there will be a need for more human resources as discussed in the Chapter 5. A substantial amount of training will be undertaken in order to ensure that the Cell officials are trained to understand how to apply the EMP. The training will ensure they have the resources to apply the EMP and have the capacity to evaluate the environmental requirements and contractors’ mitigation measures and also to facilitate capacity building activities. This will work towards the development of a strengthening plan for the environmental management undertaken by ESIC as the Project moves from the detailed design to the construction and maintenance phases. There will be a net increase in staffing in the ESIC cell for monitoring all stages of the Project from pre-construction to commissioning and for the first year of the operation and maintenance. An international environmental specialist should also be engaged to support the ESIC at least for the first 6 months from pre-construction until the monitoring and auditing methodologies are established by the ESIC cell.

13. Preparing the Contractor(s) to Address Mitigation Measures

116. The contractor will be primed by including the EMP and environmental assessments in the bidding and contract documentation. The contractor(s) will be informed that they will be required to produce method statements and plans in advance as required in the EMP for, Temporary Pedestrian and Traffic Management Plan, Drainage Plan, Erosion Control Plan, Waste Management Plan and Noise and Dust Control Plan, and a schedule of costs for implementation of mitigation measures.

117. It has been reported that it has been typical for contractors to put emphasis on the financial compensation for nuisances. This may be acceptable for some social impacts where evacuation is necessary or houses have been accidentally damaged, however it is not best international practice to accept payment for environmental impacts. It has been noted by NTDC that the approach of some contractors has been to pay money for nuisances rather than control impacts at source. If say erosion impacts are not controlled properly there could be serious environmental consequences such as landslides or runoff could cause fish kills in the rivers. Therefore, the practice of paying financial compensation for impacts should not be allowed and financial compensation will not be allowed as mitigation for environmental impacts or environmental nuisance.

118. During the preparation for the construction phase the future contractors must be prepared and primed to co-operate with the executing agency, project management, supervising consultants and local population in the mitigation of impacts. Furthermore the contractor must be primed by including IEE and the EMP in the contract documentation. The contracts must require full implementation of the EMP and the contractor must be ready to engage capable and trained environmental management staff to audit the effectiveness and review mitigation

34 measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP should be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency must be prepared for this. In this regard the NTDC (the EA) will also prepare resources to fulfill the requirements of the law and guidance prepared by EPA on the environmental aspects of projects and any updated recommendations in the EMP as the mitigation measures are rolled out and updated as necessary.

119. The requirements in the contract will include full implementation of all of the environmental mitigation measures in the EMP. (Some of the social requirements in the EMP will be carried out by the proponent NTDC vis a vis land acquisition and resettlement). The agreement with the contractor will include preparing all the above documentation in advance in the pre-construction phase with agreement from NTDC and the method statements and plans will subsequently become part of the contract documentation. The contractor will also be required to engage capable and trained staff or site agents to take responsibility for the environmental management at the working level and to monitor and report on the effectiveness and review mitigation measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency will be prepared for this. In this regard, the NTDC (the Implementing Agency) will also prepare resources to fulfill the requirements of the law and guide the contractors on the environmental aspects of construction. Recommendations, guidelines and initiatives promulgated by NTDC and EPA will also be incorporated in the revised EMP and updated as necessary.

C. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures During Construction

120. The source of the construction impacts will mainly be from removal of structures and vegetation, construction of access, minor earthworks to construct the towers and bases courses, re provisioning and repairing nearby pedestrian tracks.

1. Orientation for Contractor

121. Prior to the commencement of construction the contractor, all subcontractors and all his workers will need to be trained on the requirements for environmental management. In order to ensure that the contractor, subcontractors and workers understand and have the capacity to implement the environmental requirements and mitigation measures there will be regular and frequent training sessions and tool-box talks. Contractors tenders will be required to identify separately the resources and funds to be applied to the training and mitigation measures and contractors tenders shall identify named staff to supervise and responsible for mitigation measures for all works including but not limited to earthworks, drainage re-provisioning, erosion control, traffic management, materials management, noise and dust control, waste management. Engineering controls will be designed by contractor as mitigation measures and approved by the ESIC (supervising authority) prior to the commencement of the construction works. No construction works will commence until all mitigation measures are in place and approved by the supervising authority.

2. Advance planning of environmental mitigation measures

122. Removal of isolated trees: A significant proportion of the Project will run through agricultural land. There are numerous isolated trees on farms and homesteads that will need to be cut and will be compensated for under the provisions of the entitlement matrix in the LARP (Appendix 6). Surveys made all along the alignment indicate trees are present very near the 35 project in many places but there should not be any need for further disturbance of trees in the works once the ROW has been cleared.

123. By the time construction commences the contractor will have been primed by including the revised EMP and environmental assessments in the bidding and contract documentation. The contractor will be required to produce method statements and plans in advance of commencement of construction as required in the EMP for:

(i) Drainage Management Plan (ii) Temporary Pedestrian and Traffic Management Plan. (iii) Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage Plan (iv) Waste Management Plan, (v) Noise and Dust Control Plan (vi) Safety Plan (vii) Material Management Plan

124. All the above plans will be submitted one month in advance of any construction activities to ESIC cell to check and agree and verify requirements from EPA have been complied with. A schedule of costs for environmental mitigation measures (including maintenance where applicable) should be agreed with the contractor before the construction commences. The implementation of mitigation measures shall be tied to payment milestones or a performance bond for an amount agreed with the contractor and NTDC shall be deposited by the contractor. The bond shall be forfeit in the event that environmental mitigation measures required in the EMP are not fully implemented.

3. Hydrological, drainage and irrigation impacts

125. The Project will be designed not to interfere with the drainage on adjacent lands and paths and to prevent soil erosion and retain the existing irrigation system in the operational phase. However in the construction stages there is the potential for the works to have impact on local water resources. There are numerous rivers, streams, irrigation and drainage channels that cross or are affected by the project. The plans to avoid and retain such drainage and irrigation works shall be included in the Drainage Management Plan and the contractors will include plans for any necessary temporary drains to cater for worst case flow. The designs will also provide for protection of the works that are in progress and for redistributing flash flows from prepared surfaces during heavy rain to reduce erosion and other impacts. The contractor(s) will be required to have a drainage engineer / erosion control officer to check implementation of the temporary drainage mitigation on site and make modifications on a daily basis as necessary.

126. To protect the drainage and irrigation system on surrounding land that may be affected by construction activities and contractors will incorporate the following design features to minimize alterations in the surface drainage near the project:

(i) Contractors will review the irrigation systems and irrigation structures potentially affected by construction of the Project. If the irrigation cannot be maintained they will provide and maintain alternative temporary irrigation structures for the construction phase. At the completion of construction the contractor(s) will re provision the irrigation structures disturbed by construction and agree with ESIC

cell if redesign is required or if new structures will be constructed or if the original irrigation structures will be repaired. (ii) Re provisioned irrigation channels will capable to supply all the fields previously supplied with at least the volume of water supplied before the construction of the

4. Soil erosion and surface runoff

127. In the construction stages there is the potential for the works to have impact on local water resources. The works are quite close to some major streams and rivers in some places and there are several crossings of significant tributaries. There are potentially major impacts from all the works near the rivers and streams. The drainage designs for the Project should be cleared with the local drainage and irrigation authorities before works commence.

128. It is recommended that sedimentation facilities be set up at rivers where all working stations are within 100m of streams and rivers, to trap and settle out runoff from the works. Where wet works have to be pumped dry the waste water should first be passed through a proprietary sedimentation tank (or similar) to remove suspended particles before discharge at a location agreed with the ESIC cell. The contractor shall be required to have a dedicated drainage engineer and erosion control officer. Where works cross streams and rivers the preliminary designs for sedimentation facilities such as sediment traps, filter fabric fences, or straw bale barriers should be included as a line item before those new areas are cleared and opened up for construction works.

129. Professional experience suggests that it will be typical for contractors to claim that there is insufficient space to set up erosion control and sedimentation facilities along the working areas. Based upon observation it is not credible that there is no space and it is not acceptable that there are no opportunities to use at least some form of sediment basins sediment traps. It is recommended that preliminary designs for sedimentation facilities are included in the contracts and subsequently in the Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage plans. Combinations of alternative methods should be considered including but not necessarily limited to:

(i) schedule work so clearing and grading are done during the time of minimum rainfall. (ii) clear only areas essential for construction. (iii) locate potential area pollutant sources away from steep slopes, water bodies, and other critical areas. (iv) route construction traffic to avoid existing works or newly planted vegetation. (v) protect natural vegetation with fencing, tree armoring, and retaining walls or tree wells. (vi) stockpile topsoil and reapply to re-vegetate the site. (vii) cover and stabilize topsoil stockpiles. (viii) use wind erosion controls. (ix) intercept runoff above disturbed slopes. Convey to permanent channel or storm drain. (x) on long or steep, disturbed, or man-made slopes, construct benches, terraces, or ditches at regular intervals to intercept runoff. (xi) use retaining walls. (xii) use check dams. (xiii) Install bioengineering in line with NTDC manuals and seed and fertilize. (xiv) use seeding and mulch/mats. (xv) use turfing. 37

(xvi) use wildflower cover.

130. Stockpiles should be covered before heavy rain to prevent wash out due to runoff. Stockpiles should not be located within 20m of water courses and there should be an intervening vegetated buffer to control any un-expected run-off. As a long-term benefit of the project, the drainage infrastructure may be able to be modified as water harvesting structures to collect water for irrigation and other uses and such options should be discussed and investigated at the detailed design stage.

5. Water Quality Impacts

131. Water is a critical resource for the local community and resources will be protected during construction. Where works are in progress, erosion control and sedimentation facilities including sediment traps and straw bale barriers or combinations thereof will remain in place and be maintained throughout the works to protect local water resources. Lubricants, fuels and other hydrocarbons will be stored >100m away from water bodies. Solid wastes will be disposed of properly (not dumped in streams). Construction material and spoil stockpiles will be covered to reduce material loss and run-off and stockpiles will not be nearer than 100m to water bodies. Borrow sites will not be close to sources of drinking water in case of runoff.

132. If complaints are received, the incidents and possible sources of water supply disruption will be investigated by the contractor and the ESIC cell and where the complaint can be substantiated; water samples will be taken and analyzed based on the baseline monitoring results obtained in the preconstruction stage. Samples will be taken as soon after the complaint as possible and analyses immediately and again two weeks after the complaint to determine if water quality has been restored. The criteria will be based on the national standard.

6. Water Resources Impacts

133. It is assumed that ample water will be available and local water resources could be used as sufficient yield is generally available. However the drainage system and water resources on surrounding land will be affected by construction activities as follows: a) local water supplies will need to be tapped to meet campsite and construction requirements, so bringing project based water use into competition with local use; b) surface and subsurface water resources in the selected sections could be contaminated by fuel and chemical spills, or by solid waste and effluents generated by the kitchens and toilets at construction campsites; c) natural streams and irrigation channels may become silted by borrow material (earth) in the runoff from the construction area, workshops and equipment washing-yards.

134. Measures to mitigate the adverse impact on water resources and surface drainage patterns have been incorporated into the other drainage mitigation measures. The contractors will also carry out the following measures to mitigate the impact of tapping local community water resources, where required:

135. Availability of water will be assessed to evaluate the impact on community resources. Project water will be obtained without depleting local village supplies.

136. Camps will be located at least 100m away from the nearest local settlement to prevent the contamination of community-owned water resources.

137. The contractors will be required to maintain close liaison with local communities to ensure that any potential conflicts related to common resource utilization for project purposes are resolved quickly.

138. Guidelines will be established to minimize the wastage of water during construction operations and at campsites.

139. Availability of water will be assessed to evaluate the impact on community resources. Project water will be obtained without depleting local village supplies.

140. Camps will be located at least 100m away from the nearest local settlement to prevent the contamination of community-owned water resources.

141. The contractors will be required to maintain close liaison with local communities to ensure that any potential conflicts related to common resource utilization for project purposes are resolved quickly.

142. Guidelines will be established to minimize the wastage of water during construction operations and at campsites.

143. The water ways and drainage streams en-route of the subproject project should not be impeded by the works and the scale of the works does not warrant hydrological monitoring. Refer to attachment 7 for likely impacts upon waterways and ponds (51 line spans cross water courses or canals). The line crosses the waterways (canals and watercourses) at different places. This crossing, however, is between two power pylons and in itself has no impact upon the water way, even during construction the tower foundations are located away form the waterway. Line stringing is by means of tension stringing equipment which has no impact on the waterways.

144. During construction, machinery and transport will be used by the contractor, both have potential of causing contamination to under ground and above ground water assets .There is need to compile temporary drainage management plan one month before commencement of works. Proper installation of temporary drainage and erosion control before works within 50m of water bodies should be done. Proper construction of temporary drainage and erosion control measures, maintenance and management including training of operators and other workers to avoid pollution of water bodies by the considerate operation of construction machinery and equipment. Storage of lubricants, fuels and other hydrocarbons in self-contained dedicated enclosures should be >50m away from water bodies. Proper disposal of solid waste from construction activities and labor camps. Cover the construction material and spoil stockpiles with a suitable material to reduce material loss and sedimentation and avoid stockpiling near to water bodies. Topsoil stripped material shall not be stored where natural drainage will be disrupted. Borrow sites (if required) should not be close to sources of drinking water.

145. Wetland: There is a wetland in the vicinity of the line route; these are areas of great ecological importance. There is need to protect these areas form possible fuel and oily spills form construction machinery and transport used during the construction phase of the subproject. The measures that need to be employed include: .Avoid disposal of wash water, solid waste and discarded packing etc. on wetlands; Piling up of loose material should be done in segregated areas to arrest washing out of soil. In addition, these materials should not be tipped or stockpiled near wetlands. Leftovers from concrete works should not be dumped close to wetlands. Avoid temporary structures or stockpiling within banks of river and on wetlands. 39

Special measures will be adopted to minimize impacts on the wild birds, such as avoiding construction activities during the critical periods of breeding and feeding. Staff working on the project should be given clear orders, not to shoot, snare or trap any bird. During the period of migration of birds from Central Asia to the plains of Sind, which are normally the coldest months of December and January and their return journey during February/March, the construction activities, around the wetlands should be kept as efficient as possible to minimize impacts and to encourage these migratory birds to settle at normal feeding grounds in wetlands. Contractor will prevent the workers from hunting and fishing for water birds and fish resources, etc. Food and fuel to be provided by contractor local villages. Erection of towers in the wetlands will be avoided as far as possible. However, at places where realignment of the transmission is unavoidable, towers with maximum span will be used to minimize the impacts.

7. Waste Management and Spoil Disposal

146. There may be some surplus rock and soil based materials. The waste management plan (WMP) will be required to ensure waste from construction is managed properly and to reduce, reuse and recycle waste wherever possible. Contractors will initially review the detailed design consultant’s options for stockpiling and disposal locations for cut surface materials and reconfirm or propose alternative disposal locations for agreement with NTDC and local authorities. The contractor will prepare the WMP one month before the commencement of construction with disposal sites identified for agreement by project supervision consultants (CSC/ESIC/NTDC). The WMP will cover all aspects of construction waste disposal. It is preferred that government land is used for dumping of material. If private land is to be used for the purpose of dumping it shall commence only after written permission from the land owner is checked by the ESIC in NTDC.

147. The mitigation measures in the waste management plan (WMP) will include but not necessarily be limited to:

(i) Spoil will not be disposed of in rivers and streams or other natural drainage path. (ii) Spoil will not be disposed of on fragile slopes, flood ways, wetland, farmland, forest, religious or other culturally sensitive areas or areas where a livelihood is derived. (iii) Use surplus spoil for local repair works to fill eroded gullies and depression areas and degraded land in consultation with local community. (iv) Dispose of spoil will be to disused quarries and abandoned borrow pits. (v) Disposed spoil will be spread in 15cm and compacted to optimum moisture content , covered with topsoil, landscaped and provided with drainage and vegetation to prevent erosion following NTDC/GESU guidelines11.

8. Noise

148. Powered mechanical equipment such as generators, excavators, piling rigs, stabilizers and concrete-mixing plant can generate significant noise and vibration. Whereas various modern machines are acoustically designed to generate low noise levels there is not much evidence that acoustically insulated plant is available in Pakistan. The cumulative effects from several machines can be significant and may cause significant nuisances.

11 Guide to Slope Protection Works–. NTDC GOP 2007.

149. To minimize impacts the contractors should be required by the Cell to (i) maintain and service all equipment to minimize noise levels, and (ii) locate equipment to minimize nuisances and (iv) install acoustic insulation or use portable noise barriers where practicable to limit noise at sensitive receivers. Insulation should be provided to minimize noise impacts such that the measured noise at the edge of the works nearest residential areas will be less than 50dB(A)Leq during nighttime (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and 75 dB(A) Leq at other times during the day.

150. There are a few schools near the project. The occasional commercial premises and some residences are also set back from the likely working areas. Where schools are nearby, the contractor shall discuss with the ESIC cell and the school principals the agreed time for operating these machines and completely avoid machine use near schools during examination times. Where noise is a major consideration (say outside temples) construction should be avoided at sensitive times. As a fall back option to control noise, portable barriers can be introduced creased using heavy thick ply-board or corrugated metal sheet. In addition to the physical effect of mitigating dust and noise the installation of such measures should be discussed with the local population and serve as a means for further public consultation during implementation and assist in public relations.

9. Air Quality and Dust Control

a. Dust control

151. The location of the residences, places of worship, schools, hospitals and civic cultural and other heritage sites has been reviewed above. Some of the residences in the settlements are close enough to be disturbed by dust. Water is available in the study area although surplus water may not always be available to suppress dust at many locations in the dry season. Therefore as a general approach it is recommended that if works are within 15m of any sensitive receivers, the contractor should install segregation between the works at the edge and the sensitive receivers. The segregation should be easily erectable 2.5m high tarpaulin sheet and designed to retain dust and provide a temporary visual barrier to the works. Where dust is the major consideration the barrier can take the form of tarpaulins strung between two poles mounted on a concrete base. These can be moved along the as the work proceeds.

152. Noise and dust were recognized by the local population as concerns but were considered to be acceptable nuisances and that there were benefits from future improved travel conditions. However in the dry season, when most of the construction will be carried out noise and dust will be significant concerns for the general public in consultation. Therefore in line with good practice mitigation measures are proposed to control all dusty materials at source. Also works will not take place at night.

(i) If the working surfaces become dry and dusty, water will be sprinkled on the and exposed surfaces when work is carried out within 50m of the side Sensitive Receivers. (ii) No work will be carried out during the night (2100hrs to 0700hrs). (iii) If works give rise to complaints over dust, the contractor shall investigate the cause and review and propose alternative mitigation measures before works recommence. (iv) All heavy equipment and machinery will be fitted in full compliance with the national and local regulations. 41

(v) Fuel-efficient and well-maintained haulage trucks will be employed to minimize exhaust emissions. Smoke belching vehicles and equipment will not be allowed and will be removed from the project. (vi) Vehicles transporting soil, sand and other construction materials will be covered with tarpaulin sheets to avoid impact from dust. Speeds limits will be established for vehicles within the works sites and on unpaved edge areas of the project .

b. Soil Contamination

153. Possible contamination of soil may occur from oils and chemicals at workshop areas, and equipment washing-yards. The contamination may limit the future use of land for agricultural purposes.

154. The following practices will be adopted to minimize the risk of soil contamination:

(i) The contractors will be required to instruct and train their workforce in the storage and handling of materials and chemicals that can potentially cause soil contamination. (ii) If waste oils or other contaminants are accidentally spilled on open ground the waste including the top 2cm of any contaminated soil shall be disposed of as chemical waste to a disposal site acceptable to the NTDC and agreed with the local authority / community. Debris generated by the dismantling of existing structures will be recycled subject to the suitability of the material in line with the MMP.

155. Solid waste generated during construction and at worker campsites will be properly treated and safely disposed of only in demarcated waste disposal sites identified and agreed with DOW and the local community.

156. Control measures for oily residues, lubricants and refueling are prescribed in the EMP. The maintenance yards that will be created will have dedicated drainage which can capture runoff. Oily residues and fuel should be captured at source and refueling and maintenance should take place in dedicated areas away from surface water resources. With these measures in place no significant impacts should be arise in construction.

10. Worker camps, maintenance yards and canteens operation

157. Uncontrolled worker camp operations can cause significant impacts. The sites for worker camps will be planned in advance in consultation with the local community.

158. In consultation the public have expressed concerns about nuisances from construction camps. The main issues of concern are uncontrolled defecation by construction workers, unmanaged disposal of solid and liquid wastes into watercourses, natural drains and improper disposal of storm water and black water in the village areas. The contractors will therefore adopt good management practices to ensure that fuels and chemicals, raw sewage, wastewater effluent, and construction debris/scarified material is disposed of under controlled conditions to reduce the risk of contamination.

159. Prior to the close out of the Project construction in any area the worker camps will be removed and restored to the original condition as far as is reasonably practicable to the satisfaction of the and the local authority.

160. Before construction commences arrangements will be reconfirmed by the construction contractors and notified to ESIC Cell / NTDC for approval as follows:

(i) Confirm location of work camps in consultation with ESIC and local authorities with location subject to approval by the ESIC. If possible, camps shall not be located near settlements or near drinking water supply intakes. (ii) Cutting of trees shall be avoided and removal of vegetation shall be minimized. (iii) Water and sanitary facilities shall be provided for workers and employees. (iv) Construction camps will be established in areas with adequate natural drainage channels in order to facilitate flow of the treated effluents. (v) Portable lavatories or at least pit latrines will be installed and open defecation shall be discouraged and prevented by keeping lavatory facilities clean at all times. (vi) Wastewater effluent from contractors’ workshops and equipment washing-yards will be passed through gravel/sand beds to remove oil/grease contaminants before discharging it into natural streams. Oil and grease residues shall be stored in drums awaiting disposal in line with the agreed Waste Management Plan. (vii) Predictable wastewater effluent discharges from construction works shall have the necessary permits from EPA before the works commence. (viii) Solid waste and sewage shall be managed according to the national and local regulations. As a rule, solid waste must not be dumped, buried or burned at or near the project site, but shall be disposed of to the nearest site approved by the local authority. (ix) The Contractor shall organize and maintain a waste separation, collection and transport system. (x) The Contractor shall document that all liquid and solid hazardous and non- hazardous waste are separated, collected and disposed of according to the given requirements and regulations. (xi) At the conclusion of the project, all debris and waste shall be removed. All temporary structures, including office buildings, shelters and toilets shall be removed by the contractor and exposed areas shall be planted with suitable vegetation, to the satisfaction of the and the local authority (xii) The ESIC Cell shall inspect and report that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions as far as is reasonably practicable.

11. Safety of the Workforce

161. In order to maintain proper sanitation around construction sites, temporary toilets will need to be provided. Construction worker camps will not be located in settlement areas or near sensitive water resources.

162. The comfort and health of the workforce and surrounding local residents may be affected to some extent from emissions of dust, noise and construction litter. The chances of serious injury or accident during the construction activities are moderate and can be mitigated by safety training and monitoring. Insufficient toilet provisions may give encouragement to defecation in the open and may increase transfer of water or air borne diseases. Local labor will be used wherever possible and where worker camps are needed they will include proper sanitation facilities (at lease pit latrines and showering facilities).

163. Existing health services in the localities near the project such as health posts and clinics have limited resources and may lack sufficient medicines and health personnel to accommodate any additional patients from the construction workforce. Therefore in the construction stages the contractor shall provide first aid facilities for the workers on the and at the worker camps with at least one qualified first-aider.

12. Social Facilities and Health

164. Vectors such as mosquitoes will be encountered at any standing water which is allowed to accumulate in the temporary drainage facilities; improper storm water management facilities in the villages and settlements, improper disposal of wastewater generated from the local wells along the side or water accumulating in borrow pits. Temporary and permanent drainage facilities shall be designed to facilitate the rapid removal of surface water from all areas and prevent the accumulation of surface water ponds.

165. Existing health services in the localities near the project such as health posts and clinics have limited resources and may lack sufficient medicines and health personnel to accommodate any additional patients from the construction workforce. Therefore in the construction stages the contractor shall provide first aid facilities for the workers on the and at the worker camps with at least one qualified first-aider or nurse present at all times. It is recommended that the workforce be given access to a trained doctor at least once per week for routine checks and medical examinations if necessary.

13. Enhancements or Changes in Scope

166. Opportunities for enhancements (or changes in scope) can be assessed prior to construction and proposed enhancements will be discussed with the local population to identify stewardship of any planting and also to serve as a vehicle for further public consultation at the implementation stage and to assist in public relations.

167. Where rock based materials, gravels and sands are extracted it is a requirement to rehabilitate the re-vegetation of these areas with indigenous species and this has been a concern of local people in the public consultation. Following the completion of the landscaping will take place and overall the appearance will be improved.

D. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures During Operation

168. The alignment seeks to provide a buffer distance from the corridor, keeping vehicles away from sensitive receivers in the operational phase as far as possible. It is difficult with a project of this magnitude to achieve an alignment that make sure all residences or commercial premises or schools will far enough away from the project not to be affected in any way by traffic emissions Therefore air quality will be monitored in the operational phase to provide reassurance of the sustainability of the subproject. NTDC/the Government will also prevent encroachment and enforce the exclusion zone and preserve the buffer distances to residences within the substation.

169. No alignment could avoid crossing some rivers and streams and protection of water resources must also be monitored in the operational phase to reassure the public that the project does not make any long term impact on the water quality. Therefore chemical water quality and the status of the river invertebrate communities will also be monitored in the

44 operational phase as an indicator of the sustainability of the rivers’ ecology and to provide reassurance that the impacts were mitigated acceptably.

170. The alignment must also inevitably cross forests or plantations and the success of compensatory planting must also be monitored in the operational phase to reassure relevant authorities that the project impacts have been successfully mitigated and that the long term impacts on forests or plantations are acceptable.

1. Air Quality

171. It is not likely that the sub project will give rise to any significant accumulations of air emissions in the operational stage.

172. Air quality monitoring for of nitrogen dioxide and PM10 as a key indicator pollutants should be carried out after the opening and at yearly intervals for 3 years prove the acceptability of the project in air quality terms.

2. Success of compensatory planting

173. To ensure the success of enhancement planting and survival of the planted trees it is recommended that an audit of the enhancements and other trees and shrubs under the Project transmission line be undertaken by the NSIC after the initial cutting and planting has been commenced to review conditions and maintain the planted trees

3. Encroachment and community awareness

174. The transmission line alignment will not displace any household. Resettlement and compensation will be dealt with before construction starts. However experience suggests that there will be additional encroachment. In addition some families may seek to resettle within the ROW. During the design phase and subsequently in the course of construction and operation awareness campaigning with the local public will be included in the project and the ESIC will try to foster public stewardship of the Project to prevent the encroachment. Any areas where local encroachment into the ROW or immediately adjacent to the ROW has taken place will be identified and reported to the ESIC. Based on the proposed alignments these should not be difficult tasks and this can be conducted as to minimize adverse impacts and maximize benefits.

175. The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study and LARP have been completed in tandem with this EIA for the whole of the project.

4. Effects of frequency

176. Transmission frequency used is 50 Hz , which is considered extremely low frequency, impacts of this reduce rapidly with distance and there are no residential or other buildings that are located at a distance that could be impacted by electric and magnetic fields, See IFC guideline ‘Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines- Electric Power Transmission and Distribution’, April, 30, 2007.

E. Institutional Requirements and Environmental Management Plan

177. The Environmental Management Plan is based on the type, extent and duration of the identified environmental impacts. The EMP has been prepared by reference to and following the best practices and the ADB Environmental Assessment Guidelines.

178. It is important that the recommendations and mitigation measures in the EMP matrix are carried out thoroughly. NTDC tender/contract documents will include a clause (Annexure C of the tender document) which requires the contractor to adhere to the all of the requirements of the EMP and to protect and re provision infrastructure where necessary. In this way the contractor is controlled and monitored to prevent creating damage to infrastructure. The measures that are required, for the power transmission additions, to reduce residual impact to acceptable levels and achieve the expected outcomes of the project are required in the contract. The EMP matrix is presented as Appendix 2. The impact prediction (Section 4) is the basis of the mitigation measures.

179. Prior to implementation and construction of the TL the EMP will be reviewed by the NTDC ESIC after detailed designs are complete and amended as necessary. Such a review will be based on reconfirmation and additional information on the assumptions made at the feasibility stage on alignment, location scale and expected operating conditions of the project. If there are any alterations of the alignment or additional transmission lines or extension of the substation boundaries to be included, the designs may be amended and then the performance and evaluation schedules to be implemented during project construction and operation will be updated, and costs estimates can be revised. Large changes in scope will require preparation of a supplementary environmental assessment and notification to ADB and approval of an updated IEE.

180. The EMP will be reviewed by the ESIC and NTDC project management and approved by PEPA before any contracts are signed and therefore well before any construction activity is initiated. This is also an ADB requirement in order to take account of any sub-sequent changes and fine tuning of the proposals. Before the works contract is worked out in detail and before pre-qualification the full extent of the environmental requirements of the project (IEE/EIA) will be included in the bidding documents, including the EMP. Past environmental performance of contractors and awareness of environmentally responsible procurement will be used as indicators for prequalification of contractors.

181. In order to facilitate the implementation of the EMP, during the preparation for the construction phase the future contractors will be prepared to co-operate with ESIC and the local population in the mitigation of impacts. Furthermore, the contractor will be primed through the contract documentation and ready to implement all the mitigation measures and engage trained environmental management staff to audit the effectiveness and review mitigation measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the mid term review of loan conditions and the executing agency will be prepared for this. Monthly monitoring reports will be submitted to ADB every six months on the effectiveness of the EMP implementation

182. The details of EMP are given in Appendix 2 in the form of a matrix. The impacts have been classified into those relevant to the design/preparation stage, construction stage and operation and maintenance stage. The matrix provides details of the mitigation measures recommended for each of the identified impacts, approximate location of the mitigation sites, time span of the implementation of mitigation measures, an analysis of the associated costs and

46 the responsibility of the institution. The responsible parties are specified for the purpose of the implementation and the supervision of the EMP. The matrix is supplemented with a monitoring plan (Appendix 3) for the performance indicators. An estimation of the associated costs for the monitoring is given with the plan including physical mitigation costs as far as these can be estimated at this stage. The EMP has been prepared following the best practices and the ADB environmental assessment guidelines.

183. Prior to implementation of the Project NTDC will comply with several environmental requirements, such as obtaining PEPA clearance (“No Objection Certificate”, compiling acceptable EMP and Clearance Certificate) under PEP Act (Guidelines and Regulations 2000), securing tree removal and replanting permits from the provincial departments of Forests and Wildlife (Sindh) and other permissions required from other departments including but not necessarily limited to Provincial Works and Services Department(s), National Highways Authority and Irrigation Department(s). NTDC will also need to confirm that contractors and their suppliers have complied with all statutory requirements and have appropriate and valid licenses and permits for all powered mechanical equipment, permissions for use of local water supplies in line with the all environmental requirements (e.g. and local authority conditions).

184. The EMP (Appendix 2) was prepared taking into account the limited capacity of the NTDC to conduct environmental assessments of the subprojects and it is therefore required that for this project NTDC engage an environmental specialist with at least 10 years experience in environmental management five years site experience in environmental monitoring and auditing to guide the subsequent formal assessment and submission process under the PEP Act and monitor compliance with the EMP.

185. As of January 2007, NTDC has created environmental and social impact cell (ESIC) under General Manager GSC (ESIC is now being placed under the General |Manager Projects) . Attachment 3 presents the changed structure of NTDC’s implementation formations). Currently there are two environmental staff members (one Deputy Manager and one Assistant Manager). At this stage staff members and the consultants are responsible for addressing environmental concerns for the MFF potentially involving hundreds of kilometers of power transmission lines and GS in later tranches. Most of the environmental work is delegated to consultants. Whereas there is a limited level of awareness, NTDC staff needs more training and resources if they are effectively provide quality control and supervision for the EMP implementation. Specific areas for immediate attention are in EMP auditing, environmentally responsible procurement, air, water and noise pollution management and ecological impact mitigation. It is recommended that an environmental specialist consultant with 10 years experience covers this aspect full time for at least the first six months of the MFF project and that on a call off basis with local support those services are retained for the life of the MFF loan.

186. For this subproject and the whole MFF the environmental staff for the project implementation team has been appointed prior to the outset of the implementation design stage to ensure compliance with the statutory obligations under the PEP Act. It is also mentioned that the NTDC process some in house capability such as and Environmental and Social Cell and that as soon as possible potentially suitable staff are nominated to be trained and man the cell at least on an inaugural basis. Due to the lack of in-house capability, at this point, environmental specialist consultants the project implementation unit must address all environmental aspects in the detailed design. It is recommended that the project management unit (PMU) will have one technical manager (senior environmental specialist) to address all environmental aspects in the detailed design and contracting stages. In addition, there will be 47 an environmental specialist(s) to cover the implementation of environmental mitigation measures in the project packages. Both shall be members of the supervising consultant’s team.

187. The environmental specialists will:

(i) work in the PMU with NTDC to ensure all statutory environmental submissions under PEP Act and other environmentally related legislation are thoroughly implemented; (ii) work in the PMU with NTDC to ensure all environmental requirements and mitigation measures from the environmental assessment of subprojects are included in the contract prequalification and bidding documents; (iii) work with NTDC to execute any additional IEE and IEE requirements needed due to fine tuning of the subprojects and that environmental performance targets are included in the contracts prior to project commencement; (iv) work in the PMU with NTDC to ensure all environmental requirements and mitigation measures from the IEEs and IEEs and environmental performance criteria are incorporated in the subproject contracts or variations and that the EMP is effectively implemented; (v) work with management consultant, supervising consultant and contractors to manage and monitor the implementation of the project EMP.

188. Overall implementation of the EMP will become NTDC’s responsibility. Other parties to be involved in implementing the EMP are as follows:

189. Contractors: responsible for implementing all measures required mitigating environmental impacts during construction;

190. Government agencies: such as provincial environmental agencies, and bureaus, at the local level, will be responsible for monitoring the compliance with implementation of environmental conditions related to statutory approvals of subprojects in their areas.

191. NTDC Board of Directors: responsible to ensure that sufficient timely resources are allocated to process the environmental assessments and to monitor implementation of all construction and operational mitigation measures required to mitigate environmental impacts.

192. Considering that other government agencies that need to be involved in implementing the EMP, training workshops should be conducted at every six months or twice each year, for the first 2 years (and annually thereafter) to share the monitoring report on the implementation of the EMP, to share lessons learned in the implementation and to decide on remedial actions, if unexpected environmental impacts occur.

193. The monitoring plan (Appendix3) was designed based on the project cycle. During the preconstruction period, the monitoring activities will focus on (i) checking final alignment for design of power transmission project; (ii) checking the contractor’s bidding documents, particularly to ensure that all necessary environmental requirements and EMP have been included; and (iii) checking that the contract documents’ references to environmental mitigation measures requirements have been incorporated as part of contractor’s assignment and tied to payment milestones, and making sure that any advance works (protection of specimen trees and transplantation) are carried out in good time.

194. Where detailed design is required (e.g. for power transmission lines and avoidance of other resources) the checking of designs must be carried out. During the construction period, the monitoring activities will focus on ensuring that environmental mitigation measures are implemented, and some performance indicators will be monitored to record the Project’s environmental performance and to guide any remedial action to address unexpected impacts. Monitoring activities during project operation will focus on recording environmental performance, monitoring encroachment, checking for leaks of SF6 at the GS substation and proposing remedial actions to address unexpected impacts. The potential to use local community groups’ contacts for monitoring should be explored as part of the activities in setting up the Environmental and Social Cell which should have regular meetings with the local authorities and NGOs as a matter of good practice and to discuss matters of mutual concern.

195. Although this is a large project for new power transmission lines, by generally keeping to non-sensitive and non-critical areas the construction and operational impacts will be manageable and no insurmountable impacts are predicted provided that the EMP is implemented to its full extent and required in the contract documents. However experience suggests that some contractors may not be familiar with this approach or may be reluctant to carry out some measures. In order that the contractors are fully aware of the implications of the EMP and to ensure compliance, it is recommended that the cost of environmental measures be treated separately in the tender documentation and that payment milestones are linked to environmental performance, vis a vis the carrying out of the EMP.

196. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency must be prepared for this. In this regard the NTDC (the EA) must be prepared to guide the design engineers and contractors on the environmental aspects.

V. PUBLIC CONSULTATON AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Approach to Public Consultation

197. The public consultation process with various stakeholders has been approached so as to involve public and other stakeholders from the earliest stages. Public consultation has taken place during the planning and design and viewpoints of the stakeholders have been taken into account and their concerns and suggestions for possible improvements have been included where appropriate. Much of the Public consultation process to date has revolved around concerns for the mitigation of construction impacts and the possible side effects from the proximity of high voltage power lines.

198. There is also ongoing consultation for land acquisition and resettlement (LARP) and the completion of the Resettlement Plan is documented separately. It is expected that this process will continue through all stages of the subproject in order to accommodate stakeholders' aspirations and to orient the stakeholders positively towards the project implementation and where possible to harness cooperation over access issues in order to facilitate timely completion.

199. The public consultation process has commenced in the initial feasibility stages (prior to construction) in order to disclose the project information to the stakeholders and record feedback regarding the proposed project and preferences. The stakeholders involved in the process were the population likely to be impacted along the route of the proposed power lines; the village leaders, school teachers, district administration. 49

B. Public Consultation Process

200. Prior to the implementation of the consultation, feedback, etc. has been carried out to support this IEE and recorded. The focus of attention has been the population near the proposed transmission line that may be affected by the subproject expansion. The level of engagement varied from the stakeholder to stakeholder with some registering no major comment but it is noted that none registered any outright opposition to subproject.

201. The disclosure of the enhancement project in advance and subsequent consultation with stake holders has advantages in the environmental assessment and mitigation of impacts. Public consultation can also provide a conduit for the improvement of the project implementation to better serve the stakeholders.

202. The environmental assessment process under the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act only requires the disclosure to the public after the statutory IEE/EIA has been accepted by the relevant EPA to be in strict adherence to the rules. In this IEE the consultation process was performed to satisfy the ADB requirements. The locations of consultation and people consulted are listed in the full table of public consultation presented in Attachment 4.

C. Results of Public Consultation

203. The consultations identified some potential environmental and social impacts and perceptions of the affected communities. The public consultation resulted in 208 responses in May 2008 – the field survey was carried out during the period 23 rd. April 2008 to 1 st. May 2008 (Attachment 4). The community supports the construction of the substation and transmission lines. Residents along the RoW have the view that they should be paid fair and timely compensation for their damaged crops and trees. The inhabitants near the TXL corridor and RoW also expect more stable power supply in the region, with lesser complaints of load shedding, with the provision of a higher voltage connection. Poor people requested for unskilled and semi skilled jobs on priority basis with the contractors during implementation of the project. Land acquisition and resettlement is not involved in this project (land under towers is not to be paid if access to this land after construction of line is not hindered) as this is a transmission line subproject. However, compensation will be paid to the loss of crops and trees to the concerned parties / owners.

204. On the basis of the consultations so far, it appears that the project will have no insurmountable environmental and social impacts but NTDC will have to make sure that compensation and assistance amounts are assessed justly and that skilled and unskilled employment should be preferentially given to the affected peoples as far as is reasonably practicable.

VI. CONCLUSIONS

A. Findings and Recommendations

205. This study was carried out at the planning stage of the project. Primary and secondary data were used to assess the environmental impacts. The potential environmental impacts were assessed in a comprehensive manner. The report has provided a picture of all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project, and recommended suitable mitigation measures. This study recommends that some further follow up studies are undertaken during project processing in order to meet the ADB requirements.

206. There are some further considerations for the planning stages such as obtaining clearance for the project under the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (1997) but environmental impacts from the power enhancements will mostly take place during the construction stage. There are also some noise impacts and waste management issues for the operational stage that must be addressed in the detailed design and through environmentally responsible procurement. At the detailed design stage the number of and exact locations for transmission tower placements may change subject to detailed surveys (by the contractor in light of contractors requirements) but the impacts are likely to be broadly similar at most locations and impacts have been reviewed in the environmental impact section of this IEE report.

207. There are a number of key actions required in the detailed design phase. Prior to construction the NTDC must receive clearance certification from the PEPA and NTDC must complete an EMP that will be accepted by the PEPA and agreed by the contractor prior to signing the contract. The information provided in this report can form the basis of any further submission to PEPA as required in future.

208. The line alignment is restricted to the design of the line which has approval of NTDC; the line route could be changed in the future which will require a revision of the IEE and the LARP. However, crops and some trees will be compensated to the concerned parties. A social impact assessment and resettlement action plan (LARP) has been completed in tandem with this IEE for the whole subproject. The study (LARP) has:

(i) Examined and assess the overall social profile of the subproject area on the basis of the primary and secondary data sources and preparation of a socio- economic profile of the project districts. (ii) Prepared a social analysis, taking into account socio-economic and poverty status of the subproject area of influence. (iii) Held consultations with relevant officials from the government and other relevant officials, including consultation with affected communities to assess responses to the project and ascertain the nature and scope of local participation in project planning and implementation. (iv) Identified, analyzed and, where appropriate, quantified the potential resettlement impacts (minimal) of the proposed Project on the area and the population.

209. Baseline monitoring activities should be carried out during project detailed design stage to establish the baseline of parameters for checking during the construction stage. The monitoring schedule (Attachment 3) recommends monitoring on two occasions at two locations along the Rohri subproject. The results should be integrated with the contract documentation to 51 establish performance action thresholds, pollution limits and contingency plans for the contractor’s performance.

MONITORING PLAN

1. NTDC have established the Environmental and Social Impacts Cell (ESIC) manned by two professionals and support staff .The cell is attached with both the implementing Agency , the Chief Engineer EHV (General Manager Grid System Construction , NTDC ) and the planning agency Project Director Technical Assistance (General Manager Planning , NTDC) . The NTDC instructional arrangement with respect to social and environmental monitoring and implementation is presented as follows:

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

2. The implementation and monitoring of the social and environmental Program involves a number of agencies including, NTDC as the implementing agencies, the Environmental Protection Agencies of Sindh, Provincial Government Sindh.

National Transmission and Dispatch Company

3. NTDC as the prime executing agency (EA), bears the overall responsibility for the preparation, implementation and financing of all tasks set out in this IEE/ LARP, as well as, inter-agency coordination, and monitoring and evaluation activities required the LARP preparation, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Institutionally, NTDC has three functional divisions, namely the Planning, Projects and Grid Station Construction divisions.

4. The Planning Division is responsible for planning and preparation of subprojects and keeping liaison with the Government of Pakistan and Asian Development Bank (ADB), as the donor of this Project. This division is currently being assisted by the PPTA Consultants12, including a Environmental Expert for the preparation of the IEE and Resettlement Expert responsible for LARP preparation), in preparing the identified subprojects in line with the ADB Policies and obtaining approval from the donor ADB.

5. The Projects Division is responsible for the overall management and coordination of the subprojects. Its major functions include, keeping regular liaison with ADB and relevant departments of the federal and provincial governments, updating of IEE/LARP and its monitoring and evaluation activities. In addition, the Project Management Unit takes care of the overall coordination and liaison with the Government of Pakistan and ADB.

NTDC Standards for Transformer Noise

NTDC specifications for auto (Power) transformers (220 kV and 500 kV) require that noise level be as per IEC 551 which simplistically interpreted results in a permissible noise level of 80 db (this is subject to measurement conditions laid down in IEC 551).
