3. The key outcome envisaged from the project is “effective urban water service delivery model rolled out in selective urban clusters of the State with the objective of achieving the following performance indicators by the year 2022.

4. The Subproject: Raghogarh, Badarwas and Shadora towns are located in Guna, Shivpuri and Ashoknagar Districts in the northern part of the Madhya Pradesh State. These are small towns having the status of Municipal Council (Nagar Parishad) and population as per 2011 census was: Raghigarh- 62,613, Badarwas- 13,571 and Shadora-7,053 Improvement of water supply in these three towns is one of the subprojects proposed under MPUSIP. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost

recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject envisages providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The subproject includes civil works, project implementation and management, and non-physical investments. The physical investment includes the following civil works:

i. The Raghogarh WSS include (i) Proposal of intake well of dia 10m and height 20.5m at Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam (ii) Water treatment plant of 17 MLD capacity; (iii) Construction of twelve new water storage reservoir/ overhead tank of different capacity; (iv) 300 m of raw water rising mains and 52302 m clear water feeder mains (v) 122336 m of distribution lines proposed in Raghogarh. ii. The Badarwas WSS include (i) Proposal for utilization of existing 6 number of tube wells of abstracting ground water to supply in town; (ii) Construction of 2 number of overhead tank of capacity 300 KL each (iii) 27800 m of clear water feeder mains (iv) 25050 m of distribution lines proposed in Badarwas. iii. Shadora WSS include: (i) proposal of intake well of dia 5 m and height 12.5m at Sindh River (ii) Water treatment plant of 1.10 MLD capacity; (iii) Construction of two overhead tank of different capacity; (iv) 13670 m of raw water rising mains and 2945 m long and150 mm dia clear water feeder mains (v) 29531 m length and 75mm to 250mm dia of distribution lines proposed in Shadora town.

5. Screening and assessment of potential impacts: ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all project loans, program loans, sector loans, sector development program loans, loans involving financial intermediaries, and private sector loans. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply. Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure.

6. Categorization. Based on results of the assessment and ADB SPS, the subproject is classified as environmental Category B, i.e., the subproject is judged to be unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an environmental impact assessment are likely.

7. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant finding, and recommended actions; (ii) present the national and local legal and institutional framework within which the environmental assessment has been carried out; (iii) provide information on existing geographic, ecological, social and temporal context including associated facilities within the subproject’s area of influence; (iv) assess the subproject’s likely positive and negative direct and indirect impacts to physical, biological, socioeconomic, and physical cultural resources in the subproject’s area of influence; (v) identify mitigation measures and any residual negative impacts that

cannot be mitigated; (vi) describe the process undertaken during project design to engage stakeholders and the planned information disclosure measures and the process for carrying out consultation with affected people and facilitating their participation during project implementation; (vii) describe the subproject’s grievance redress mechanism for resolving complaints about environmental performance; (viii) present the set of mitigation measures to be undertaken to avoid, reduce, mitigate, or compensate for adverse environmental impacts; (ix) to describe the monitoring measures and reporting procedures to ensure early detection of conditions that necessitate particular mitigation measures; and (x) identify indicative costs and who is responsible for carrying out the mitigation and monitoring measures.

8. Description of Environment: Proposed subproject component area under the Shadora, Raghogarh and Badarwas are located in Ashoknagar, Guna and Shivpuri District respectively. All the subproject components are located in immediate surroundings of town Badarwas, Raghogarh and Shadora municipal area which were converted into urban and agricultural use for many years ago. Following are the details of each of the towns: (i) For Badarwas water supply scheme the proposal of utilization of existing tubewells by abstracting ground water has been proposed. The proposed tube wells for Badarwas is situated in municipal boundary. The project area – municipal area of Badarwas Nagar Parishad comprises the habitat area of Badarwas. There is no any protected forest and national park area nearby Badarwas. Sustainability of underground water source for supplying water in Badarwas for design year (2048) is also analyzed by performing water yield test of existing tube wells in Badarwas. During water yield test, Water recharge rate is found greater than water abstraction rate. Water quality of the underground water was also examined before source selection and it is found safe for drinking purpose. (ii) The proposed intake well for Shadora will be constructed across the river Sindh, intake will be located close to river bank on government land and the location of source Intake well is on the upstream of existing Stop Dam (Piproda Keshraj Barage) on Sindh river. The proposed surface source near existing Piproda Keshraj Stop Dam is found most reliable and sustainable. (iii) Proposed intake structure for Raghogarh is situated at Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam. Sustainability of Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam for supplying water to Raghogarh was critically analyzed and it is make sure that sufficient water is available in dam to supply the water for Raghogarh water supply scheme. Water analysis of dam was also carried out as per drinking water standard and it is found that water is safe for drinking purpose after conventional treatment. Water treatment (WTP), including clear water sump, will be located 300 m away from the intake where sufficient government land is available. These facilities are located outside the town, and are mostly surrounded by vacant government land. The WTP and one OHT is located on forest land. Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam and the surrounding areas are part of Gadher Reserved

Forest which is under jurisdiction of forest department, Guna District. The WTP site, which is located close to WTP, also falls within the reserved forest. However, the WTP site is devoid of any trees located

(iv) Gadher Reserved Forest is open forest with shrubs and bushes, with no trees cover. Animals found in the forest are similar to the region. Other than that domestic animals are abundantly found in the region. The proposed land is vacant and unused. During construction phase of the proposed WTP, the impact will be local and due to construction. So, there will not be any negative impact on reserve forest due to the project as the proposed site is vacant and barren land with no sensitive ecological features. NOC for construction of WTP and laying of RWRM already obtained from DFO Guna forest department, Guna district. No tree has been reported within the site and OHT-450 KL is located within the urban areas of Raghogarh nagar parishad in Tatya tope ward (Palika bazar) comes under donger protected forest. Land is vacant & unused. No Flora and fauna has been reported at the proposed OHT site. No tree has been reported. Therefore, no environmental impact anticipated. Prior permissionfrom from forest department required for construction of WTP and OHT. Rest of the components – water tanks, distribution lines, connections etc., will be located within the urban areas. The raw water transmission pipes, connecting intake and WTP, will be essentially outside the town, and clear water transmission pipes, from WTP to distribution reservoirs, will be partly outside and partly within the towns. The project area – municipal area of Raghogarh Nagar Parishad comprises the habitat area of Raghogarh. Near Raghogarh, outside the municipal boundary, Extent of forest areas in the project area is very limited. Raghogarh protected forest (PF) & donger protected forest are situated in the study area. It is mixed type open jungles. The land is unused, vacant and barren land and no other uses. However due to scale and marking some project components shown in forest area (Refer Appendix 25-26– Land status). The OHT and GSR locations shown in toposheet in Raghogarh are adjacent to protected forest and away from protected forest boundary) in which mostly are existing components however construction activities will be confined to the identified sites and will not encroach into the protected forests as these are clearly demarcated and separated by existing boundary fences. No construction work will be started without without Prior permission from forest department. It is pertinent to mention here that design & layout given in DPR is a tentative one and it has to be finalized based on detailed investigation by DBO contractor once contract will be awarded. Accordingly, IEE and EMP will be further modified and finalized. Guna forest reserve is situated around 4km far from Raghogarh. The forest is very rich in flora and fauna. None of the subproject components of Raghogarh WSS are located in Guna reserved forest.

9. Potential environmental impacts. Potential negative impacts were identified in relation to construction and operation of the improved infrastructure. No impacts were identified as being due to the subproject design or location. An EMP is proposed as part of this IEE which includes (i) mitigation measures for significant environmental impacts during implementation, (ii) environmental monitoring program, and the responsible entities for mitigation, monitoring, and reporting; (iii) public consultation and information disclosure; and (iv) grievance redress mechanism. Mitigation measures have been developed to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. A number of impacts and their significance have already been reduced by amending the designs.

10. During the project construction phase, potential negative impacts may arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well-developed methods for mitigation, minimization to acceptable levels are proposed here.

11. Environmental Management Plan. As a part of mitigate measures in order to achieve acceptable levels in the negative impacts, an environmental management plan (EMP) has been proposed. All the locations are selected considering the minimum adverse environmental effects. These include (i) locating facilities on government-owned land to avoid the need for land acquisition and relocation of people; and (ii) laying of pipes in RoW alongside main/access roads, to reduce acquisition of land and impacts on livelihoods specifically in densely populated areas of the town. The EMP given here includes the design measures for (i) Weir and Intake well; (ii) safe disposal of sludge coming out of wash water tanks from WTP to reduce effluent (iii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During execution phase, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts (ii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iii) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (iv) use of noise-dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (v) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vi) finding beneficial use of excavated materials to extent possible to reduce the quantity that will be disposed off. As for the O&M phase, facilities will need to be repaired from time to time, but environmental impacts will be much less than those of the construction period as the work will be infrequent, affecting small areas only. The design of the WTP includes dewatering and drying areas as part of sludge management. The EMP includes mitigation measures and monitoring plan to ensure compliance to environmental standards during O&M phase.

12. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro- active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

13. The contractor will be required to submit to PMU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.

14. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. The stakeholders were involved in developing the IEE through discussions on-site and public consultation at several places in the town, after which views expressed were incorporated into the IEE and in the planning and development of the project. The IEE will be made available at public locations and will be disclosed to a wider audience via the ADB, MPUDC and PMU websites. The consultation process will be continued and expanded during project implementation to ensure that stakeholders are fully engaged in the project and have the opportunity to participate in its development and implementation. A grievance redress mechanism is described within the IEE to ensure any public grievances are addressed quickly.

15. Implementation Arrangements. Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh is the Executing Agency and Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC) is the Implementing Agency. Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC is responsible for implementation, and will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC), will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated by DBO contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to ULBs. Project

Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks, and will be supported by PMC. At PMC’s environmental safeguards staff include an Environmental Specialist Consultant located centrally in Bhopal, and will be responsible for all safeguard tasks, and he/she is supported by an Environmental Engineer in each PIU. At the time of submission of this IEE, Environmental Specialist at Bhopal has been appointed in PMC, but Environmental Engineer is not appointed in PIU PMC - Gwalior. Environmental engineer is likely to appointed by PMC at the earliest. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

16. Monitoring and Reporting. The PMU and PMC will be responsible for monitoring. The PMDC will submit quarterly and semi-annual monitoring reports to PMU, and the PMU will review and send the semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. ADB will post the environmental monitoring reports on its website.

17. Conclusions and Recommendations. The proposed project is therefore unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. The potential impacts that are associated with design, construction and operation can be mitigated to standard levels without difficulty through proper engineering design and the incorporation or application of recommended mitigation measures and procedures. Based on the findings of the IEE, there are no significant impacts and the classification of the project as Category “B” is confirmed. No further special study or detailed environmental impact assessment (EIA) needs to be undertaken to comply with ADB SPS (2009) or GoI EIA Notification (2006). However, for Badarwas town, a groundwater sustainability plan should be prepared by DBO Contractor, through a detailed groundwater study, and the measures of which are to be incorporated into the project to ensure the project sustainability. Project will require following government permission/approvals: (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction: intake construction; for Shadora and Raghogarh (ii) consent for construction of WTP in government land and establishment and consent for operation for WTPs for Raghogarh & Shadora towns from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. (iii) Permissions/NOC required from Forest Department for Construction of WTP, laying of RWRM & OHT-450 KL in Raghogarh town; These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to award of contracts.

18. This IEE will be updated during the detailed design stage by the DBO contractor to reflect any changes, amendments and will be reviewed and approved by PMU.

B. Purpose of this IEE Report

5. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009. The potential environmental impacts of the subproject have been assessed using ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply (Appendix 1). Then potential negative impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction and operation of the improved infrastructure,

and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this initial environmental examination (IEE) has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS‟s requirements for environment category B projects.

6. The subproject towns of Raghogarh, Badarwas and Shadora area located in Guna, Shivpuri and Ashoknagar districts in Madhya Pradesh state, and improvement of water supply in these three towns is one of the subprojects proposed under MPUSIP. The objective of the subproject is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject envisages providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. The subproject includes civil works (weir, intake, WTP, raw and clear water transmission, storage tanks, distribution network, consumer connections and flow meters), project implementation and management, and non-physical investments. A detailed description of the components is provided in Section III.

7. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the DPR consultant team and will be finalized during implementation stage by DBO contractor to reflect any changes and latest subproject designs. The IEE was based mainly on field reconnaissance surveys and secondary sources of information. No field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted however, the environmental monitoring program developed as part of the environmental management plan (EMP) will require the contractors to establish the baseline environmental conditions prior to commencement of civil works. The results will be reported as part of the environmental monitoring report and will be the basis to ensure no degradation will happen during subproject implementation. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

2.2. EXISTING WATER SUPPLY SITUATION

2.2.1 Shadora

13. In present situation most of the resident of the town obtain their water from an improved point source, such as a well or tube well. the water drawn from the tube wells is directly pump to the existing tank or directly distribute to the nagar parishad after initial disinfection. Ground Water is the only source of water supply in Shadora Town. The alternative Source of Water Supply is Community Wells, Tube Wells, Water Tank, Hand pumps & Water Tanker. In Present situation most of the residents of the town obtain their water from an improved point Source, Such as a well. The water draw from the tube wells is directly pumped to the existing tank or directly distributed to the Nagar Parishad after initial disinfection. At present 0.5 MLD of water is being supplied in the Nagar Parishad from 3 tube wells functioning in the Nagar Parishad. Daily the Nagar Parishad is Supplying water from duration 1 Hour, on the average the Nagar Parishad is able to maintain a per Capita Supply of 66 LPCD as against the requirement of 70 LPCD. There is no water Treatment plant facility available in the Nagar Parishad area. Around 27 No.of Hand Pumps are functioning in the Nagar Parishad from which additional water is being tapped daily for other than drinking purpose

14. Existing water supply network coverage is around 60% with a network consisting of various diameter sizing pipe ranging from 350 mm dia to 100 mm dia pipes and the distribution system are also comprising of 80 mm dia pipes and 50 mm dia pipes. The map showing these detail is awaited from N.P. In present situation most of the residents of the town obtain their water from an improved point source, such as a well or tube well. The water drawn from the tube wells is directly pumped to the existing over head tank or directly distributed to nagar parishad after initial disinfection. at present 0.5 MLD of water is being supplied in the nagar parishad from 3 nos. of tube well functioning in the nagar parishad. The Nagar Parishad is supplying water for duration of 1 hr daily, on the average the Nagar Parishad is hatdly able to maintain a per capita supply of 66 LPCD as against the requirement of 70 LPCD. There is no water treatment plant facility is available in the Nagar Parishad area. Over and above around 40 nos. of hand pumps out of 49 total hand Pumps are functioning in the Nagar Parishad from which additional water is being tapped daily for their drinking purpose.

2.2.2. Raghogarh

15. Presently water supply system in Raghogarh is based on both ground water (137 nos. of Hand Pumps, 47 Tube wells) and surface water sources i.e. back water Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam. Intake well is constructed on the back side of Gopi Krishna Water Dam and anicut is constructed on the Dheer-Deh River.

16. Presently water is treated in two WTP located on Bandargada Town around 16 Km from Raghogarh. One WTP having capacity 3.5 MLD is based on Slow Sand Filter and 1.5 MLD is based on Rapid Sand Process. A wholesome total of 5 MLD water is supplied to the Town. At present Water supply distribution system of approximately 71 Km of HDPE, GI & ACP material was laid down from year 1977 to till date. Presently only 60 LPCD water is being supplied to the town which is very less as per the norms of CPHEEO Manual.

2.2.3. Badarwas

17. Presently water supply in Badarwas town depends upon Ground water source. Water supply in the town is done by 5 Nos. of tube wells out of which only 3 tube wells are able to supply water throughout the year. Water from these 3 tube wells is either pumped to OHTs of directly supplied to the town. There exist one OHT of capacity 200KL the town which was constructed in 1982 water supply scheme which was funded by KFW. OHT is situated in the Nagar Parishad campus itself. Due to lack of maintenance of the system at present ULB is able to supply only 0.5MLD of water at the rate of 37 LPCD.

2.3. PROPOSED PROJECT

20. Construction works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. The roads in the core city area of the town is very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles, while the roads in outer areas are wide. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of intake well, water treatment plant, water tanks, pumping stations, at the identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc. Intake well cum pump house will involve construction within the water body. A temporary enclosed area (about 10 m dia) will be created using appropriate material and the water will be pumped out to make the area dry for construction. Once this is created, the rest of the construction will follow the general construction procedures to create a RCC well of size 6 m diameter. Once the work is over, the temporary structure will be removed

21. Project benefits. The subproject aims to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The subproject will provide continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services to entire population of the towns (100% coverage). Besides achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency, the subproject will improve the overall environmental quality of the town. It will reduce the reduced time and costs of households in accessing alternative sources of water, and will lead to better public health particularly reduction in waterborne and infectious diseases

2.4. Implementation Schedule

22. After the approval of the detailed project report, bid will be prepared and tenders are likely to be invited by April 2018, and the contract will be awarded by October 2018. Construction is likely to start in November 2018 and will take about 24 months.

3. POLICY, LEGAL &ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

3.1. ADB POLICY

23. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of ADB’s Operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB SPS, 2009. This states that ADB requires environmental assessment of all ADB investments.

24. Screening and categorization. The nature of the environmental assessment required for a project depends on the significance of its environmental impacts, which are related to the type and location of the project; the sensitivity, scale, nature, and magnitude of its potential impacts; and the availability of cost-effective mitigation measures. Projects are screened for their expected environmental impacts, and are assigned to one of the following four categories:

(i) Category A. Projects could have significant adverse environmental impacts. An EIA is required to address significant impacts.

(ii) Category B. Projects could have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree or significance than those in category A. An IEE is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental Assessment report.

(iii) Category C. Projects are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are reviewed.

(iv) Category FI. Projects involve a credit line through a financial intermediary or an equity investment in a financial intermediary. The financial intermediary must apply an environmental management system, unless all projects will result in insignificant impacts.

25. Environmental management plan. An EMP, which addresses the potential impacts and risks identified by the environmental assessment, shall be prepared. The level of detail and complexity of the EMP and the priority of the identified measures and actions will be commensurate with the project’s impact and risks.

26. Public disclosure. ADB will post the safeguard documents on its website as well as disclose relevant information in accessible manner in local communities:

(i) for environmental category A projects, draft EIA report at least 120 days before Board consideration; (ii) final or updated EIA and/or IEE upon receipt; and (iii) environmental monitoring reports submitted by the implementing agency during project implementation upon receipt.

3.2. NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTALLAWS

27. Environmental Assessment: The GoI EIA Notification of 2006 (replacing the EIA Notification of 1994), sets out the requirement for Environmental Assessment in India. This states that Environmental Clearance (EC) is required for specified activities/projects, and this must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B depending on the scale of the project and the nature of its impacts.

28. Category A projects requires EC from the central Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). The proponent is required to provide preliminary details of the project in the prescribed manner with all requisite details, after which an Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) of the MoEF prepares comprehensive Terms of Reference (ToR) for the EIA study. On completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, MoEF considers the recommendation of the EAC and provides the EC if appropriate.

29. Category B projects require environmental clearance from the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). The State level EAC categorizes the project as either B1 (requiring EIA study) or B2 (no EIA study),and prepares ToR for B1 projects within 60 days. On completion of the study and review of the report by the EAC, the SEIAA issues the EC based on the EAC recommendation. The Notification also provides that any project or activity classified as category B will be treated as category A if it is located in whole or in part within 10 km from the boundary of protected areas, notified areas or inter-state or international boundaries.

30. None of the component of this water supply sub project in Raghogarh, Badarwas and Shadora falls under the ambit of the EIA Notification 2006, and therefore, EC is not required for the subproject.

31. Applicable Environmental Regulations: Besides EIA Notification 2006, there are various other Acts, Rules, Policies and Regulations currently in force in India that deal with environmental issues that could apply to infrastructure Development. The specific regulatory compliance requirements of the subproject are shown in Table 2, below.

32. ADB SPS Requirements. During the design, construction, and operation of the project the PMU and PIUs are required to apply pollution prevention and control technologies and practices consistent with international good practice, as reflected in internationally recognized standards such as the World Bank Group’s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines (IFC’s General EHS Guidelines 1 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines2). These standards contain performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable and applicable to projects. When Government of India regulations differ from these levels and measures, the PMU and PIUs will achieve whichever is more stringent. If less stringent levels or measures are appropriate in view of specific project circumstances, the PMU and PIUs will provide full and detailed justification for any proposed alternatives that are consistent with the requirements presented in ADB SPS. International acceptable air and noise quality guidelines are provided below:

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

4.1. Methodology Used for Baseline Study

33. Data collection and stakeholder consultations. Data for this study has been primarily collected through literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies, and field visits to the proposed subproject sites.

34. The literature survey broadly covered the following: (i) Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by technical experts of design consultant team (ii) Discussions with technical experts, municipal authorities, relevant government agencies like WRD, Forest Department, MPPCB, etc. (iii) Secondary data from previous project reports & published articles, if any, and (iv) Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic, and planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites.

35. Ocular inspection. Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE preparation period in 2016 to assess the existing environment (physical, biological, and socioeconomic) and gather information with regard to the proposed sites and scale of the proposed project. A separate socioeconomic study was conducted to determine the demographic information, existing service levels, stakeholder needs and priorities.

Part of shivpuri district which is around 35km comes under forest area, since Dongar PF fall in the municipal area. away from Badarwas The distance selected water source is located in the Proposed OHT (450 KL capacity) site is between Guna reserved forest and north of the town and location of Intake located in Tatiya Tope municipal ward is Madhv national park is about 75 km. well and transmission main does not a forest land (Donger PF). As per

revenue record, Khasra (land survey) comes under any forest area. Streams number of proposed site is 859, owned are seasonal, so there is no noticeable by forest department. Selected site is aquatic life. Flora and fauna found in vacant, barren, and there are no trees or the area is of local species. None of vegetation. Raghogarh and Donger the proposed components located in protected forests are open forests with the reserved forest area. less very less tree cover. No protected species of flora and/or fauna reported in these forests. Except one OHT, no other components are located in forest areas. No pipelines are proposed through forest lands. Construction activities will be confined to the identified sites and will not encroach into the protected forests as these are clearly demarcated and separated by existing boundary fences. Consultation has been conducted with local people and forest officials, they have no objection regarding construction of proposed OHT. Guna forest reserve is situated around 4km away from Raghogarh. The forest is rich in flora and fauna. The forest can be divided into three categories; Dry Decious teak forest. Foot hill teak forest and mixed forest. Teak is the most important and has the most valorous species of the district. There are variety of wildlife in the reserved forest. None of the subproject components of Raghogarh subproject are located in Guna reserved forest. WTP is located near Gopi Krishna dam about 300 m away from proposed intake well in the dam. The surrounding area of the dam is under Gadher Reserve Forest, and the proposed WTP site falls within this forest area. WTP site is located on a vacant land between Boat Club (boating in dam area) of Gopi Krishna Sagar dam and a temple (Hanuman temple). This land is vacant, no trees and unused at present. Refer google map annexed. Gadher Reserved Forest is open type mixed forest. Flora mainly consists of teak (tectona grandis), Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Eucalyptus (Tasmanian blue gum), Neem Tree (Azadirachta indica), Gulmohar tree (Royal Poinciana), etc., Fauna species found here include Monkey (Macaca Fascicularis), Boar, Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Jackal (Canis aureus) , etc., Given the WTP site location between two places (boat club and temple) that are frequented by people; with no tree cover on site, and with an existing approach road, there are no impacts envisaged. No objection certificate (NOC) for construction of WTP and laying of RWRM already obtained from The forest department (Appendix 27).

Town mostly has open drains and the mixing of sewage with the drain water is of serious environmental concern. There is no underground sewerage facility in the town. There are total 1530 septic tanks counted at individual level and no community septic tanks in the town. However, mixing of sewerage in to open drains is a wrong practice but it seems that it is socially acceptable here. The sewage ultimately gets mixed with the natural drains 15 Solid Waste As per UDPFI guidelines, the per capita As per UDPFI guidelines, the per capita Shadora Nagar Parishad is Management solid waste for the medium category solid waste for the medium category responsible for management of solid towns is 250gms/day and towns is 250gms/day and waste.

5. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

5.1. OVERVIEW

37. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended.

38. Screening of potential environmental impacts are categorized into four categories considering subproject phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre- construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

a. Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection and include loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site. b. Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services. c. Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production. d. O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

39. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude (negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration (temporary/permanent).

40. This section of the IEE reviews possible project-related impacts, in order to identify issues requiring further attention and screen out issues of no relevance. ADB SPS (2009) require that impacts and risks will be analyzed during pre-construction, construction, and operational stages in the context of the project’s area of influence.

41. The ADB Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist in http://www.adb.org/documents/guidelines/environmental_assessment/eaguidelines 002.aspis used to screen project for environmental impacts and to determine the scope of the IEE.

42. In the case of this project (i) most of the individual elements are relatively small and involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly

localized and not greatly significant;(ii) proposed water abstraction from the sources is very small compared to overall water availability since it is going to use the existing water source as well, and the proposed Weir designed for the balance requirement on at the rate of 70 lpcd as per norms, so there is no area coming in the submergence due to the construction of this Weir & is confined to river course itself; (iii) most of the predicted impacts are associated with the construction process, and are produced because that process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements; and some works are located in the reservoir and (iv) being mostly located in an urban area, will not cause direct impact on biodiversity values. The proposed project components locations are belongs to the government property and existing roads, hence land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not happen in this case.

5.2. PRE-CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS–DESIGN & LOCATION

43. Design of the Proposed Components: Technical design of the Raghogarh& Shadora WSS (i) intake well at Gopi Krishna Sagar dam and at Sindh river (ii) WTPs of 17 MLD & 1.10 MLD capacity (iii) For Raghogarh- total 12 no. of new reservoir of capacity:100 KL (4 no.), one no. of 150KL, two no. of 250KL, one no. of 450KL, one no. of 300KL and 2 no. of 400KL and For Shadora- total 2 nos. of new OHTof capacity; 2.5 LL &1.0 Lac Litre; And technical design of (A)Badarwas WSS (i) Tube Wells (ii) Chlorination Units (iii) Storage reservoirs;distribution network,connections and other items like flow meters, follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easyto operate,sustainable, efficient and economically viable. Following environmental considerations are included in the project:

(i) Discontinuation of current unsustainable groundwater source and creating a new comprehensive water supply system based on a nearest surface water source for Raghogarh and Shadora towns. (ii) Conducting a detailed groundwater study and preparation of a groundwater sustainability plan for Badarwas to address the groundwater sustainability issue. It is proposed that the implementation of Source Sustainability Plan will be part of the project and will inter alia include measures like sub-surface dykes; a combination of sub-surface dyke and check dam; check dam; recharge pits; recharge shafts, community roof top rainwater harvesting systems, etc., (iii) Recovering wash water from treatment process (iv) Treatment and reuse of sludge from treatment process (v) Minimizing water losses frompipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques(HDPE pipes up to 150 mm dia joined byelectro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher dia pipes by on site butt welding) (vi) Minimizing overall resource use by combining bulk water facilities for towns. (vii) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimizing the overall energyusage (viii) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% Population including urban poorwith potable water supplies (ix) ) Improve water use efficiency and reduce water wastage at household level by recording and monitoring the water usage, and charging the

consumers as per usage; due consideration to urban poor (x) inimize unaccounted for water (UFW) lossesusing district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangementsto identifyand rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections (xi) Using low-noise and energyefficient pumping systems

WATER SOURCE SELECTION AND SUSTAINIBILITY

1. Raghogarh 44. Selection of water source for Raghogarh Town: There are two possible water source in Raghogarh for supplying water in Raghogarh: (i) Underground water source (ii) Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam

(i) Ground Water Source: Presently some part of water is being supplied through ground sources like 47 nos. of tube wells, 137 nos. of Hand Pumps & 20 nos. of open wells. These entire sources are giving very less yield. Based on the available data the present tube wells may supply water to the town at the tune of maximum 1 MLD. So, the underground water therefore is not considered as a sustainable water source for meeting total projected demand. (ii) Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam as a Source: The Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam is located around 7 Km away from Ruthiyai. It is situated in Guna District. This dam play a very important roles in water supply. This dam was constructed across Chaupan River in 1985 by WRD GoMP. Total catchment area of dam is 294 Sqkm.The distance of the reservoir from the town is appox 7 Km and the quantity of the water for Raghogarh is ensured from the reservoir.

45. Sustainability of selected source and Environmental Consideration: As per the project design, the existing Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam source will be used as a source for subproject town Raghogarh. Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam is constructed across Chaupar River having catchment area of 294 sq. km and is exclusively for the water supply of Guna district including Raghogarh. Gopi Krishna Sagar dam is owned by the WRD, GoMP.The live storage capacity of Gopi Krishna Sagar dam is 78.11 mcm (million cubic meter), while the water requirement for the project town Raghogarh is 21.20 MLD or 7.74 mcm per year, which is about 9.90% of total water availability in dam and is therefore adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year.

46. Water is proposed to be sourced from an existing dam, with comparatively huge storage. Necessary permissions and water allocation in the dam for domestic water supply will be obtained from the Water Resources Department. Adequate water is available to meet the demand, no conflicts or impacts on existing uses for irrigation are envisaged as the water allocation will be made. The water withdrawl for the project is very less compared to water availability and therefore no negative impacts envisaged.

47. The salient features of Gopi Krishna Sagar Dam are given below:

Gross Storage Capacity 85.01 MCM Live Storage Capacity 78.11 MCM Dead Storage Capacity 6.9 MCM Length of Dam 670m Source: As Provided by DPR Consultant.

48. Gopi Krishna Dam Water Quality: Since water quality test for deciding source to be taken as water source, it is proved to be good source based on the water sample test reports obtained from recognized PHED Laboratory, Bhopal (report enclosed). All the parameters like turbidity, pH, total alkalinity, chlorides, total hardness, calcium, magnesium within the permissible limits in comparison with standards. Iron, fluorides, nitrates, electrical conductivity and TDS are Nil. As IS- 10500 gives details of standards for drinking water, the source selected is good as result came are very much close to portable water. Water will be supplied after conventional treatment including disinfection.

49. The catchment area is mostly characterized by agricultural and barren lands, and forest areas. There are no polluting sources like industries or mining in the catchment areas. Habitations are limited to small villages, there is no major city located in the catchment. As presented in the table below, all the parameters of water quality in comparison with drinking water standards are well within the limits, Conventional water treatment and disinfection which is proposed in the project is adequate to make the water usable for drinking purposes. A regular water quality regime needs to be established for checking the raw water quality. The water supplied to the consumers at all-time must meet the drinking water standards (Appendix 8).

2. Badarwas 50. Selection of water source for Badarwas Town: The current water supply system in Badarwas is completely groundwater based, and is not able to provide adequate supply. For the water supply of Badarwas town, water source studies were done. There appears to be only two optional sources. Other than these two options, there is no water body nearby the Badarwas town to be consider as a water source for proposed WSS of the town:(i) Surface Water (Sindh River); (ii) Ground Water (i) This river is one of the main tributaries of Chambal River part of the Yamuna River basin. However in view of the following reasons, Sindh River source is not considered dependable for Badarwass water supply: (i) river is seasonal; carries significant flows during the monsoon, and in summers the river completely dries up; (ii) water flow in the river is reduced significantly by upstream dams; (iii) During the visit by DPR consultant and survey of the town it is observed that construction of a stop dam on the River Site at Enwara Village cannot be ruled out. By detailed soil analysis and Bore log experiment in the river bed, the data that emerges out

shows that the soil available at the river bed is a percolating type of soil. Thus, possibility of construction of Dam for the Badarwas will be of no use. Hence surface water is not considered as a source of water supply for Badarwas town..

51. Ground Water as a Source for Badarwas: Based on above quality, quantity and security studies it has been decided by DBO contractor, PMC, PIU PMU and ULB officials i.e CMO, jointly finalized to go for Ground water as a water source for Badarwas Water Supply Scheme. Hence, it is recommended to continue the groundwater source for Badarwas water supply. It is proposed to develop a groundwater based water supply system consists of abstraction of groundwater from 6 tube wells existing and pumping into sumps, disinfection with chlorine, pumping to overhead tanks, and distribution from OHTs. However, given the low yield of existing tube wells and frequent failures, a groundwater study has been commissioned as part of the project preparation and an experienced hydrogeologist was engaged to conduct the study with an objective to identify 6 new locations for groundwater abstraction in Badarwas town. A summary of the ground water study is given in the following paragraphs.

52. Groundwater Study methodology. As per CGWB Study was conducted in 2013 at two stages: one, to identify areas of interest (or target areas) in the study area, and two, to conduct detailed exploration of target areas. Groundwater behavior in the region is quite erratic and the distribution of groundwater resources is not uniform. Moreover the areas of high groundwater potential are highly localized. Such areas are isolated on the basis of remote sensing studies and were subject to further detailed exploration by surface geophysical methods.

53. Findings & Recommendations of the study. Following are the findings and recommendations of the study for Badarwas town. (i) The entire study area is occupied by Deccan traps on the surface and the weathering/alteration products of the Deccan Trap Basalts such as shallow and deep soils, black cotton soils, yellow soils, weathered basalts occupy the top layer of the lithological cross section.

(ii) The drainage in the area is controlled by geomorphology and lithology of basalts resulting into Sub-dendritic and Trellis drainage pattern due to large scale fracture patterns.

(iii) Hydrology a) Alluvium - Ground water occurs in the granular zones of sands and gravels. The extent and thickness of this formation is limited. The maximum thickness of the alluvium is 15m therefore large diameter dug wells can be constructed. Yield of this formation ranges from 5 to 10 lps and ground water occurs under water table condition. b) Laterite -Laterites are semi-consolidated rock and consist of cavities. Thickness of this rock ranges from 3 to 75 m. The porosity and permeability are sufficient to act as good aquifer when it is occurring in low-lying areas. The yield of the dug wells constructed in this formation ranges from 2 to 4 lps. c) Deccan Trap - Water bearing capacities in Deccan trap formation differ from flow to flow. Phreatic aquifer occurs in weathered, jointed and fractured basalts. In the areas where weathered basaltic layer is extensive, a continues aquifer can be traced to some distance, however due to low permeability of the weathered basalt the aquifer sustain limited ground water withdrawal. The groundwater at deeper levels occurs under semi confined to confined conditions in vesicular, jointed & fractured basalts. Yield of the wells in this formation varies from 1 to 5 lps. Unit draft of the wells varies from 0.0027 to 0.036 mcm/year. d) Under the Ground water Exploration Programme CGWB has constructed the exploratory wells & observation wells of 25.50 to 148.60 m deep. The depth to water levels in these wells varies from 6.00 to 29.60 m bgl and discharge of the wells ranges from negligible to 1.8 lps with a draw down maximum upto 48.00m. e) Vindhyan Sandstone and Shale - Sandstone of the Vindhyan formation is compact and having poor permeability, Joints and fractures in the sand stone controls the occurrence and movement of the ground water. Soil and weathered mantle developed in the Vindhyan formation is generally thin and as result ground water occurs at shallow depth under unconfined condition in jointed, fractured & weathered rocks. Yield of the wells ranges from 1 to 2 lps. Unit draft of the wells ranges from 0.001 to 0.026 mcm/year. f) Under the Ground water Exploration Programme CGWB has constructed the exploratory wells & observation wells of 50.35 to 203.4 m deep. The depth to water levels in these wells varies from 4.38 to 29.60 m bgl and discharge of the wells ranges from 0.18 to 14.50 lps with a draw down ranges from 14.00 to 60.00 m.

g) Bundelkhand Granit: - Granites are most extensive rock formation in the Karera & Narwar blocks. Ground Water occurs in the weathered part and vertical and horizontal joints. The yield of the wells is restricted to the

weathered mantle and ranges from less than one to 3 lps. Unit draft of the wells in the formation varies from 0.00075 to 0.0051 mcm/year.

h) Under the Ground water Exploration programme CGWB has constructed the exploratory wells & observation wells of 135 to 203 m deep. The depth to water levels in these wells varies from 65to 12.98 m bgl and discharge of the wells ranges from 0.2 to 5.4 LPS with a draw down ranges from 36 to 65 m.

54. Shivpuri district is underlain by Budelkhand granite; Basaltic lava flows of Deccan trap Vindhyan Sandstone and Alluvium. Dynamic ground water resources of the district have been estimated for base year -2008/09 on block-wise basis. Out of 1,02,7800 ha of geographical area, 9,77,049 ha (95 %) is ground water recharge worthy area and 50751 ha (5 %) is hilly area. The highest stage of ground water development is computed as 78 % in Khaniyadhana block. The net ground water availability in the Badarwas block 9958 ham and ground water draft for all uses is

7521 ham, making stage of ground water development 75.52 % (68 % in 2003/04) as a whole for Badarwas block. After making allocation for future domestic and industrial supply for next 25 years, balance available ground water for future irrigation would be 2431 ham. There are eigth number of groundwater assessment units (block) in the shivpuri district including Badarwas Block, which fall under non- command (94 %) and command (13.%) sub units. Badarwas, block of the district is categorized. as semi critical (safe in 2003/04),) zone for groundwater availability as given in table below;

55. Depth of Water Level: To monitor the change in ground water levels in the district, Central ground Water board is regularly monitoring 32 dug wells & 7 piezometers four times in a year.

56. Pre Monsoon, 2012: The depth to water levels during the pre-monsoon period varies from 5.00 to 18.92m.bgl. In major part of the area, water level is in the range of 8 to 120 m.bgl

57. Post Monsoon, 2012: The depth to water levels during the post monsoon period varies from 3.83 to 16.29m.bgl. In major part of the district, water level varies from 5 to 10m.bgl

58. Groundwater level trend (May 2003 to May 2012): Analyses of Groundwater level data of pre-monsoon period indicate that there is rising trend in the range of 0.13 to 0.17m/yr and declining trend in the range of 0.08 to 0.88 m/yr.

(iv) Resistivity surveys were conducted at these 6 areas using Schlumberger Electrode Configuration, and 6 points for tube wells have been identified. Following are the interpretationsfrom the exploration study

59. Ground Water Source Sustainability: Besides the above, pumping test has also been conducted to estimate yield of the existing tube wells, The pumping test results are attached in Appendix 21. Yield test of six number of existing well was carried out to cross check of source sustainability of underground water source. After the yield test, it was found that recharge rate of the tube wells were more enough than the abstraction rate during design period. The detail of yield test is summarized in following table:

Table 11:Yield of tube wells in Badarwas Sr. Tube Yield (KL/Hr) Discharge Water demand Bore No. well (MLD) (2033) in MLD Depth (m) 1 TW-1 13.62 0.3 0.27 168 2 TW-2 15.89 0.35 0.31 152 3 TW-3 13.62 0.3 0.27 152 4 TW-4 18.16 0.4 0.33 145 5 TW-5 15.89 0.35 0.28 160 6 TW-6 13.62 0.3 0.24 168

60. Groundwater Sustainability. As per CGWB report 2008-09, for Badarwas block, the net annual groundwater availability is 99.58 MCM and provision for domestic, and industrial requirement supply to next 25 years (2033) is 3.72 MCM, while the water requirement for the project upto design period (2048) is 2.10 MLD or 0.77 MCM per year, which is about 20.61%, which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year. Since provision for domestic and industrial use is 4.83 times more than the annual water demand of Badarwas town. After making allocation for future domestic and industrial supply for next 25 years (2033), balance available ground water for future irrigation would be 2431 ham. Sindh river is adjacent to the town. This sindh river is very blessing for recharging and improving the ground. Hence source is sustainable and existing tube wells proposed as water source for water supply project up to year 2048 are sufficient for year 2048, hence on construction of tube well no any expenditure proposed.

61. Ground water is potable and sufficient to fulfill the demand of town upto year 2033, hence existing tube wells proposed as water source for water supply project up to year 2033 are sufficient for year 2033, hence on construction of tube well no any expenditure proposed.

62. Overexploitation of groundwater resources i.e. abstracting more than the net annual ground water available in the area will lead to several environmental and economic issues. Abstracting water from static water resources may lead to contamination due to geo-hydro chemical processes and may also lead to land subsidence. Tube wells will dry up quickly, with falling water table pumping costs will go up, and the effect on competing uses can cause social conflicts.

63. Given that there is no reliable surface water source in the proximity of the town, even though groundwater development in the project area is already in critical stage as per the groundwater development, it is proposed to continue the groundwater as source of water supply. The present groundwater development is at 76%, and the groundwater is the only source of water in the region for agricultural and domestic purposes. CGWB cautions use of groundwater resource over 90% of net available resources and recommends linking water abstraction in these areas to water conservation measures like augmenting groundwater recharge through artificial measures.

64. The location of tube wells are identified through a scientific groundwater study, and therefore it is most likely that the yield will be as estimated by the study. The groundwater yield will however depend solely on the annual rainfall. Given the climate change effects, the rainfall is becoming more erratic and unpredictable, combined with increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The project shouldtherefore account for these.

65. The groundwater study recommends a further detailed study by DBO Contractor, once contract will be awarded to look into groundwater sustainability and to suggest various measures as detailed below in the para 66 to 67. Implementation of these measures is crucial for sustainability of this water supply project and therefore should be integrated into the project implementation.

66. Study also made various observations on the current groundwater situation and recommended various measures for source sustainability and groundwater quality. These are as follows:

(i) CGWB has classified Badarwas Block of Shivpuri district semi critical zone meaning that the ground water development is more than 70%. Therefore, suitable measures for groundwater recharge have to be taken up. (ii) Create an inventory of all groundwater sources in the municipality (existing and proposed) (iii) Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of water sources; cement sealing and length of casing pipe is to be included in the design. Suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking / overflow / lateral and vertical seepage. (iv) Proper monitoring groundwater withdrawal to be conducted; all the tube wells should be fitted with flow meters. Piezometers should be constructed at suitable locations to identify ground water aquifer zones. (v) A detailed study of hydrogeology, land use and geomorphology of the region should be conducted and source sustainability plan should be prepared incorporating the water cycle of BNP area, the water budget, and the groundwater assessment. (vi) Following sustainability structures are suggested: sub-surface dyke; a combination of sub-surface dyke and check dam; check dam; recharge pits; recharge shafts, community roof top rainwater harvesting systems. However, it is highly recommended that these structures, their design and location, must be finalized after a thorough study of groundwater conditions of the area and must be as per the sustainability plan of the BNP. (vii) Conjunctive use of ground and surface water must be promoted

67. Besides the above, the following measures are suggested for consideration during the detailed study and implementation appropriately

• All the proposed tube wells are located within the municipal boundary of Badarwas Nagar Parishad not along the stream.. The groundwater recharge occurs mainly from the annual rainfall, and partly from agricultural field. Sindh river is approximately 9 km away from Badarwas town. Due to River, adequate rainfall and natural recharging system, the yield of tube well will increase. Given the climate change effects, the rainfall is becoming more erratic and unpredictable, combined with increasing frequency of extreme weather events. The project should therefore account for these. • Creation of artificial recharge pits in public places / public buildings. Local body can issue a notification to this effect. • Household level artificial recharge (like roof top rainwater harvesting) should be encouraged. • Groundwater regulation – all the tube wells in houses in Badarwas to be discontinued in a phased manner once the project is implemented.

68. Ground Water Quality: As per CGWB in general, ground water is suitable for domestic and irrigation purposes in the entire district except a few villages located in the south of the Sind River in Narwar & Karera blocks are having high fluoride content in dug well and tube wells. Due to the high content of the fluoride ground water in these villages are not suitable for the drinking purpose.

69. The water quality at the abstraction point was carried out as per demand. Thus ground water is selected for supplying water in Badarwas drinking water standard and it is found that all the parameter was under permissible limit.

70. As water supply in Badarwas is proposed by underground water. So, water sample from 3 existing tube well was taken to check underground water quality. The water is analyzed as per drinking water standard. All the parameter of all samples was found within the permissible limit. So, it was found to safe for supplying underground water for drinking purpose. Water will be disinfected prior to supply.

71. At present there is no sewerage system in the town, and also open defecation is prevalent. Also with increasing water supply, the wastewater generation will also increase, and without proper sewerage collection and treatment system, it may pollute the groundwater. A proper sewerage system is to be developed in the town. Though existing tube wells, source of water supply, are not located nearer to any pollution source (for eg, from drain, waste disposal area, septic tank, latrines etc.,), a source augmentation & protection plan is suggested and it need to be implemented in Badarwas town as part of the project to augment and protect the groundwater source from contamination.

72. Besides, detailed groundwater study proposed in the above paragraph also includes a source protection plan. Measures as suggested by the study should be included in the project. Besides, the groundwater study also recommends the following measures for construction of tube wells, which needs to be included in the project design:

• The annular space between the casing pipe and the wall of the bore well must be sealed with cement slurry in order to prevent ground water contamination

• A 1mx1mx1m concrete block is to be constructed around the exposed casing pipe above the surface. The block will be 50cm above the ground and 50cm below the ground to hold fast the casing pipe.

• The top of the casing pipe should be atleast 90cm above the ground or above the reported HFL of the site, which ever is higher.

• Suitable measures to be taken to prevent contamination of source since the water quality may be impacted by untreated sewage flowing nearby; suitable provisions should be made for lining of drains and prevention and chocking/overflow/lateral and vertical seepage.

• In addition to the above, measures should be taken to control the open defecation, and to close all unsafe latrines (for example pit latrines).

• Awareness programs shall be conducted regarding the sanitation practices and its effect on ground water quality

3. Shadora. 73. Selection of Water Source for Shadora Town: The following water sources are identified for proposed water supply scheme for Shadora; (i) Ground Water (ii) Sindh River (Source Alternate no.1- Near Guna Intake Well (iii) Sindh River (Source Alternate no.2- Piproda Keshraj Barrage (Stop Dam)) Near Chadora Silvana Village and based on the following it is decided to go with Alternat No. 2.

74. Ground Water Source: As discussed above, currently ground water is the main source of water supply. Ground water source that is 3 nos of Tube wells having average depth 45 to 50 m and 40 Nos of Hand pumps in working condition out of 49 Hand pumps. These sources are not reliable sustainable and promising source by qualitatively and quantitatively for longer period years to come due to abnormal rapidly draw down of water table, depletion in ground water level occurs in every day and every year as observed inquired and informed by local authority. The ground water quality is below the standard level of drinking water as per the data available (CDP).Hence these ground water sources cannot be recommended to use to meet with the future prospective demand for next 30 years. Detailed investigation work on dated 26-11-2015 for sustainable and reliable surface source is carried out by consultant unitedly with concern Ex.Engineer Gwalior, CMO Sub- Engineer & President & Local Body elected members in and around the town. It is found that the surface source as Sind River water flowing east to west closed to this town is found as most promising reliable and sustainable fully adequate source and it is jointly identified and finalized as source for Shadora Town.

75. Sindh River- Source Alternate No-1 (Near GUNA Intake well) :- The proposed source suggested for Shadora town on the right bank of Sindh River about 13 Km away from the town, DPR for Shadora Town on the basis of above source was prepared and submitted to MPUDC Bhopal for approval, During scrutiny of this DPR the observation raised on this submitted DPR and instruction received from the Executive Engineer UDAU Gwalior in the month of December-2015 regarding proposed source required to be reexamined as it is not found to be reliable. This site was visited again by consultant with ULB Engineer in the month of March- 2016. The Sindh River (semi perennial) water near Guna Intake well area on the right bank of river as investigated in the month of November 2015 initially proposed is found not reliable and sustainable source as the River water found dries up soon after December and beginning period of January, hence this source now cannot be considered for this town.

76. Sindh River- Source Alternate No 2- (Near Chadora,Silvana Village):- In view of above observation and the instruction and direction received from Ex.Engr UDAU Gwalior in the month of Dec-15, the joint visit was for reinvestigation of sustainable source is further conducted by the Consultant with EE Gwalior, MO,& Shadora Nagar Parishad ULB representative on dated 16-03-2016, & 28-05- 2016.The Stop dam known as Piproda Keshraj Barrage (Stop Dam) in Sindh River Guna Block site near village Chadora,Silvana situated at about 2 Km down stream of previously selected source (From Railway Bridge). On visiting this site it is found that in the upstream side of this Stop Dam there is a natural water pool developed in the river in a length of about 2000 mt and average depth of 0.80 mt, this storage available is right from stop dam to Railway Bridge. Also it is found that at the location of river meandering part of the area the depth of water as locally inquired & measured is more than 20 mt, hence it is finally concluded that this source is found to be adequate sustainable most promising source for the Shadora and unanimously & unitedly decided to adopt this source for the Town.

77. Flow of Sindh River: Sindh River, flow at about 13 km from town, is another potential source of water for Aron. Sindh River originates in Vidisha District. Total catchments area of the river in Madhya Pradesh is 26699 km² and total length is 470 km. A length of 461 km of the river falls in Madhya Pradesh and 9 km in Uttar Pradesh. Major tributaries of Sindh are Mahuar, Parbati, Pahuj, and Kunwari etc. Sindh River is a Major river in the Ashoknagar District. The River proved to be a major watersource in the past years. Now the river Sindh is not the perennial river. Sindh river is almost found to be semi-perennial almost running for 8 months a year. The flow in the river reduced in the month of the November to December and gets dry after January. The river gauging data received from WRD is enclosed as (Appendix -19) here with for reference. From these data following conclusion are made for considering and justifying the proposed source as Sindh River;

a. From the River Gauging data available since 1988- to 2014-15 (Appendix- 19) it is reveal that the average flow observed is 704.78 Cusecs during monsoon period. b. Max.flow observed is 2633.99 Cusecs on date 19-9-1993

c. Min.flow observed is 0.15 Cusecs on date 28-8-1990. d. River remains dry in summer as recorded for January to May for the particular period/years 2003, 2004, and 2007.

78. Source Water Sustainability and Environmental Consideration: The live storage capacity of Piproda Keshraj dam is 1.03 MCM, while the water requirement for the project is 1.10 MLD or 0.401MCM per year, which is about 38.93%. which is adequate to meet the project yearly demand of the design year and also from the river Discharge Gauge data analysis as per available data from 1988 to 2014-15, it is observed that the flow variation in the river is significant over the seasons. As presented in the above Table 14, in the last 28 years, the highest flow recorded was 2633.99 cusecs (19th Sept 1993) while the lowest flow was 0.15 cusecs (On Aug 28th 1990). Considering minimum flow is higher than the ultimate requirement (0.015 cumecs with 22 hour pumping) of Shadora is about 10% of minimum flow and With an average of 793.8 mm annual rainfall (75% dependable rainfall) the catchment can generate significant quantities of runoff every year. So Sindh River near stop dam is adopted as source of water for Shadora water supply scheme. The proposed surface source near existing Piproda Keshraj Stop Dam is found most reliable sustainable and promising qualitatively & quantitatively surface source as fully justified above hence recommended for adopting this source for the project.

79. The hydraulic Mass Curve of this pool water storage available is measured and works out as under. This storage (water pool) of water source will be sufficient to meet with the demand for the present as well as ultimate demand is works out to 1.10 MLD (Ultimate Stage). The storage capacity of this Stop dam is 1.03 MCM live storage and 0.30 MCM is dead (Silt) storage (as per Salient Features of dam- Refer Appendix -4A).The dead storage of 0.30 available in the river the river will sufficient against the water demand of 0..401 MCM/6 months that is for the period of January to June every year. Which is 21.35%which is 05 times morethan the semi-annual water demand of Shadora town and rest of the year demand will be fulfilled by river flow based on river flow study as given in above para and in table below for nearest gauging station- Behtaghat near proposed intake well site.

80. As per detail Assessment adequate water is available to meet the demand, so there will be no conflicts on use of water or impacts on existing uses are envisaged as the water allocation will be made. water. Necessary permissions and water allocation in the dam for domestic water supply will be obtained from the Water Resources Department prior to use. Application has been submitted and it is under process. The water withdrawal for the project is much less compared to water availability and therefore no negative impacts envisaged on existing water uses or ecosystem.There are no notable downstream usesas the adequate water will be available i.e. 0.81 MCM for irrigation of 350 ha which is sufficient for irrigationand the water withdrawal from dam will be only during summer season for 6 months only.So impacts on the river and the quantity of water abstraction from the river/dam is insignificant compared to the availability of water. Therefore, no impacts on river ecology or aquatic life are anticipated.There is no commercial

fishing taking place in this stretch of the river. The location of source Intake well on the upstream of existing Stop Dam (Piproda Keshraj Barage) on Sindh river with reference to town map are as below: -

Figure 42: Sindh River photo of upstream and down stream

81. Water Quality of Sindh River: The catchment area is mostly characterized by agricultural and barren lands, and forest areas. There are no polluting sources like industries or mining in the catchment areas. Habitations are limited to small villages. Water quality Test Report of Sindh River is given in table 11. All the parameters of water quality in comparison with drinking water standards are well within the limits, hence conventional water treatment and disinfection which is proposed in the project is adequate to make the water usable for drinking purposes.

82. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, the chlorination facility will be provided with the following:

• Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder

• Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities

• Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage

• Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant

• Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier

• Supplier of Chlorinator equipment shall provide standard operating manual for safe operation and as well as maintenance and repairs; preferably these shall be provided both in English and Hindi Languages

83. Impacts on forest areas. Proposed WTP and an OHT in Raghogarh are located on forest lands. Raghogarh is surrounded by forest areas –Raghogarh protected forest (PF) in the eastern side and Donger protected on the west. Part of Dongar PF fall in the municipal area. Proposed OHT (450 KL capacity) site is located in Tatiya Tope municipal ward is a forest land (Donger PF). Selected site is vacant, barren, and there are no trees or vegetation. Raghogarh and Donger protected forests are open forest with less very less tree cover. No protected species of flora and/or fauna reported in these forests. Given no sensitive features, and location close to urban area no significant impacts envisaged. Consultation has been conducted with local people and forest officials. WTP site is located near Gopi Krishna dam about 300 m away from proposed intake well in the dam. The surrounding area of the dam is under Gadher Reserve Forest, and the proposed WTP site falls within this forest area. WTP site is located on a vacant land between Boat Club (boating in dam area) of Gopi Krishna Sagar dam and a temple (Hanuman temple). This land is vacant, no trees and unused at present. Refer google map annexed. Gadher Reserved Forest is open type mixed forest. Flora mainly consists of teak (tectona grandis), Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Eucalyptus (Tasmanian blue gum), Neem Tree (Azadirachta indica), Gulmohar tree (Royal Poinciana), etc., Fauna species found here include Monkey (Macaca Fascicularis), Boar, Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Jackal (Canis aureus) , etc., Given the WTP site location between two places (boat club and temple) that are frequented by people; with no tree cover on site, and with an existing approach road, there are no notable

impacts envisaged. No objection certificate (NOC) for construction of WTP already obtained from the forest department (Appendix 27). During the implementation phase, however, the following measures to be implemented:

• Construction activities shall be confined to the identified project sites (WTP and OHT); all ancillary activities like storage of materials, construction camps etc., shall also be confined to project sites • Site shall be properly fenced prior to start of work, and all works shall be confined to this • No construction camps (concrete batching plants, crushers, labour camps, etc.,) shall be located at these sites • No trees shall be cut • Follow all measures as suggested by forest department in the NOC • Plant trees around the facility 84. Utilities: Telephone lines, electric poles and wires, water lines within the proposed project locations may require to be shifted in few cases. To mitigate the adverse impacts due to relocation of the utilities, the contractor, in collaboration with ULBs will (i) identify the locations and operators of these utilities to prevent unnecessary disruption of services during construction phase; and (ii) instruct construction contractors to prepare a contingency plan to include actions to be done in case of unintentional interruption of services.

85. Site selection of construction work camps, stockpile areas, storage areas, and disposal areas: Priority is to locate these near the project location. However, if it is deemed necessary to locate elsewhere, sites to be considered will not promote instability and result in destruction of property, vegetation, irrigation, and drinking water supply systems. Residential areas will not be considered for setting up construction camps to protect the human environment (i.e., to curb accident risks, health risks due to air and water pollution and dust, and noise, and to prevent social conflicts, shortages of amenities, and crime). Extreme care will be taken to avoid disposals near forest areas, water bodies, or in areas which will inconvenience the community.

86. Site selection of sources of materials. Significant quantities of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate will be required for construction works. Requirement of gravel is limited. Contractor should procure these materials only from the quarries permitted/licensed by Mines and Geology Department. Contractor should, to the maximum extent possible, procure material from existing quarries, and creation of new quarry areas should be avoid as far as possible. It will be the construction contractor’s responsibility to verify the suitability of all material sources and to obtain the approval of Department of Mines & Geology and local revenue administration.

5.3 CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

87. Pipeline laying works. Civil works in the project include linear excavation for laying pipes along the roads, placing pipes in the trench and refilling with the excavated soil. The trenches will be of 0.4 m – 0.7 m wide and 0.8 to 1.2 m depth. Subsequent to completion of works, road reinstatement will be undertaken by the contractor as part of the civil works. The roads in the core city area of both the towns are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles, while the

roads in outer areas are wide.

88. Earth work excavation will be undertaken by machine (backhoe excavator) and include danger lighting and using sight rails and barricades at every 100 m., while pipe laying works will include laying pipes at required gradient, fixing collars, elbows, tees, bends and other fittings including conveying the material to work spot and testing for water tightness. Sufficient care will be taken while laying so that existing utilities and cables are not damaged and pipes are not thrown into the trenches or dragged, but carefully laid in the trenches. As trenches are a maximum of 1.2 m, there is no risk of collapse of trenches or risk to surrounding buildings. Once they are laid, pipes will be joined as per specification and then tested for any cracks of leakages. The minimum working hours will be 8 hours daily, the total duration of each stage depends on the soil condition and other local features. About 95% of the excavated soil will be used for refilling the refilling the trench after placing the pipe and therefore residual soil after pipe laying and refilling is not significant. This soil shall be used for construction of WTP in ground leveling

89. Although construction of the subproject components involves quite simple techniques of civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the subproject locations in the built-up areas of towns. Where there are a variety of human activities, will result to impacts to the environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community in general. These anticipated impacts are temporary and for short duration.Water lines will be laid on either side of the roads/streets. .

90. Other construction works. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of intake well i within the water body in River, water treatment plant, water tanks, pumping stations, at the identified sites. These works will be confined to sites, and construction will include general activities like excavation for foundation, construction of foundations, columns, walls and roof in cement concrete and masonry, and fixing of mechanical and electrical fixtures, etc. Intakewell cum pump house will involve construction within the water body. An enclosed area (about 10 m dia) will be created at the selected site using temporary barriers like sand bags or sheet piles and the water will be pumped out to make the area dry for construction. Once this is created, the rest of the construction will follow the general construction procedures to create a RCC well of size 6 m diameter. Once the work is over, the temporary barriers will be removed.

91. Sources of Materials.Significant amount of gravel, sand, and cement will be required for this subproject. The construction contractor will be required to: • Use quarry sites and sources permitted by government; • Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of UDED and ULB; and • Submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials

92. Air Quality. It is most certain that work will be conducted during the dry season, so there is potential for creating dust from the excavation of dry soil, backfilling, transportation to disposal, and from the import and storage of sand/gravel for bedding. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will also induce impacts on the air quality in the

construction sites. Anticipated impacts include dusts and increase in concentration of vehicle-related pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons) but temporary and during construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to: • Consult with PMU/PIU on the designated areas for stockpiling of clay, soils, gravel, and other construction materials; • Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled on site by spraying with water when necessary during dry weather; • Bring materials (aggregates) as and when required; • Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by vehicles; • Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are operating correctly; and • Clean wheels and undercarriage of vehicles prior to leaving construction site. • Disallow access in the work area except workers to limit soil disturbance and prevent access by barricading and security personnel • All the roads will be restored as original condition to avoid inconvenience and flying of dust

93. Surface Water Quality. Run-off from stockpiled materials and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricants during construction works can contaminate downstream surface water quality of the streams. As the rainfall in the project areas is mostly confined to monsoon, these potential impacts are short-term and temporary. However, to ensure that these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:

• All earthworks be conducted during the dry season to prevent the problem of soil run-off during monsoon season;

• Pipeline works along Raghogarh and Badarwas stream shall be conducted during the no flow period. All the works should be completed including proper refilling and consolidation of refilled trench and site restoration prior to onset of monsoon in June.

• Avoid stockpiling of earthfill especially during the monsoon season unless covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets;

• Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoils will be disposed, only designated disposal areas shall be used;

• Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading to the water bodies;

• Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading to water bodies;

• Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; and

• Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

94. Construction of intake well in the reservoir may lead degradation of water quality due to increase in turbidity and chemical contamination from fuels and lubricant used in construction work. Increase in silt content and water turbidity, chemical quality can affect the aquatic life, silting/chocking of spill ways/ canals etc., Though there are no notable aquatic life, to ensure that any negative impacts are mitigation, the contractor will be required to:

I.Select a construction methodology that is least disturbing, and appropriate for the in-situsoil condition, and able to complete the construction work prior to onset of monsoon. II. Schedule the construction works during low water level period – late winter months to pre-monsoon (February – June/July); ensure that works are completed during the sameperiod to prior to onset of monsoon; confirm with dam authorities on release of water;avoid scheduling the works during water release period. III.Erect temporary barriers to form enclosed construction area with least disturbance IV.Allow adequate time settle the distributed solids to prior to pumping out water; onlyclear/clarified water shall be pumped back into the reservoir; any silt laden water shouldbe pumped to a silt pond. V.Avoid/minimize use of fuels, chemicals and lubricants; ensure no spillage. 95. Generation of Construction Wastes. Solid wastes generated from the construction activities are excess excavated earth(spoils), discarded construction materials, cement bags, wood, steel, oils, fuels and other similar items. Domestic solid wastes may also be generated from the workers’ camp. Improper waste management could cause odor and vermin problems, pollution and flow obstruction of nearby water courses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor:

• Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan

• Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from steep slopes and water bodies;

• Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be dispose to approved designated areas;

• Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non-biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site;

• Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities;

• Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste;

• Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and adjacent areas.

• Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

96. Noise and Vibration Levels.Exceptwater intake and WTP & 4 tube wells, all the construction works will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in Raghogarh, Shadora and Badarwas urban areas, where there are houses,

schools and hospitals, religious & historical places and small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Drilling tube wells will produce noise and vibration in considerable levels, the noise generation may be in the range of 85 – 98 dBA, which is damaging to human ear if experienced for long period. Of the 6 tube well points, 4 are located far from habitations 2 are located in proximity to the town (there are houses at about 50 m from the selected point). Increase in noise level may be also caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers. Vibration generated from construction activity, for instance from the use of pneumatic drills, will have impact on nearby buildings and monuments. This impact is negative but short- term, and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Plan activities in consultation with PIU so that activities with the greatest potential to generate noise are conducted during periods of the day which will result in least disturbance;

• Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach;

• Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jack hammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimize sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and

• Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels(dBA) when measured at a distance of 10m or more from the vehicle/s.

• Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity;

• Provide personal protection equipment (earplugs) to the rig operators and other staff engaged in supervision of rig

97. Surface and Ground water Quality. Another physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local water table if ground water and surface water collect in the voids. In Badarwas groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, an drains are limited to monsoon. However, to ensure that water will not pond in pits and voids near project location, the construction contractor will be required to conduct excavation works in non-monsoon season to the maximum extent possible. Drilling operation for tube well construction will generate a slurry material (water mixed with clay/earth). This material should be disposed in the following manner:

• Hold the slurry material in a temporary ditch for sometime to allow sedimentation of solids, and dispose the clear water in the stream.

• Dispose appropriately or use the solid material in construction.

98. Accessibility. Excavation along the roads, hauling of construction materials and operation of equipment on-site can cause traffic problems. Roads in the core/old town areas of Raghogarh, Badarrwas and Shadorare very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians, bicycles and two wheelers. Four wheelers vehicles are very limited. Potential impact is negative but short term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Confine work areas along the roads to the minimum possible extent; all the activities, including material & waste/surplus soil stocking should be confined to this area. Proper barricading should be provided; avoid material/surplus soil stocking in congested areas–immediately removed from site/or brought to the as and when required • Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; • Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; • Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; • Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; • Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion; • Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; • Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; • Coordinate with Traffic Police for temporary road diversions, where necessary, and for provision of traffic aids if transportation activities cannot be avoided during peak hours • Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

99. Wherever road width is minimal, there will be temporary loss of access to pedestrians and vehicular traffic including 2wheelers during the laying of pipes. Under those circumstances, contractor shall adopt following measures: • Inform the affected local population1-week in advance about the work schedule

• Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/loss of access is minimum.

• Provide pedestrian access in all the locations until normalcy is restored. Provide wooden/metal planks over the open trenches at each house to maintain the access.

100. Socio-Economic–Income. The project components will be located in government land and there is no requirement for land acquisition nor any resettlement. Construction works will impede the access of residents to specific site in limited cases. The potential impacts are negative and moderate but short-term and temporary. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil;

• Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles

• Increase work force in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools;

• Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and

• Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

• Notify community/water users in advance about likely interruptions in water supply.

• Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

101. Socio-Economic–Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24- months construction stage. This can result in generation of temporary employment and increase in local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Employ atleast 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent; and local persons within the 2-km immediate area if manpower is available; and • Secure construction materials from local market

102. Occupational Health and Safety. Workers need to be mindful of the occupational hazards which can arise from working in height and excavation works. Potential impacts are negative and long-term but reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 10); • IFC’s General EHS Guidelines3 and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines4 • Develop & Implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) measures including: (a) prevent entry of public into construction sites;(b) ensue all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment;(c)OH&S Training 5 for all site personnel;(d)documented procedures to be followed for all site activities;and(e)documentation of work-related accidents; • Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; • Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; • Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; • Provide supplies of potable drinking water; • Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; • Provide H&S orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and preventing injuring to fellow workers; • Provide visitor orientation if visitors to the site can gain access to areas where hazardous conditions or substances may be present. Ensure also that visitor/s do not enter hazard areas unescorted; • Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; • Ensure moving equipmentis outfitted with audible back-up alarms;

5Some of the key areas that may be covered during training as they relate to the primary causes of accidents include (i) slips, trips and falls; (ii) personal protective equipment; (iii) ergonomics, repetitive motion, and manual handling; (iv) workplace transport; and (v) legislation and responsibilities. Training can provide the foundations of competence but it does not necessarily result in a competent worker. Therefore, it is essential to assess staff competence to ensure that the training provided is relevant and effective. Supervision and monitoring arrangements shall be in place to ensure that training has been effective and the worker is competent at their job. The level of supervision and monitoring required is a management decision that shall be based on the risks associated with the job, the level of competence required, the experience of the individual and whether the worker works as part of a team or is a lone worker.

• Mark and provide sign boards for hazardous areas such as energized electrical devices and lines, service rooms housing high voltage equipment, and areas for storage and disposal. Signage shall be in accordance with international standards and be well known to, and easily understood by workers, visitors, and the general public as appropriate;and • Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85dBA for duration of more than 8hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

103. Asbestos Materials. Existing water distribution network is mostly asbestos cement (AC) pipes, and because of the health risks these will be left in situ and replaced by new pipes. Plan pipeline alignments carefully to avoid any conflict or damage.

104. Community Health and Safety. Hazards posed to the public, specifically in high-pedestrian areas may include traffic accidents and vehicle collision with pedestrians. Potential impact is negative but short-term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities.

• Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps.

• Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure.

• Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

105. Central parts of the towns are characterized by narrow roads and some of which are accessible only by foot/two wheelers. Besides impeding the access, the trench excavation and pipe laying will pose safety risks to pedestrians, and the people living in these areas. Though the width (~400mm) and depth(~700mm) of trench is minimal, it will pose safety risk, especially for children and elders. The construction contractor will be required to:

• Provide prior information to the local people about the nature and duration of work • Conduct awareness program on safety during the construction work • Undertake the construction work stretch-wise; excavation, pipe laying and trench refilling should be completed on the same day • Provide barricades, and deploy security personnel to ensure safe movement of people and also to prevent unnecessary entry and to avoid accidental fall into open trenches

106. Work Camps. Operation of work camps can cause temporary air and noise pollution from machine operation, water pollution from storage and use of fuels, oils, solvents, and lubricants. Potential impacts are negative but short- term and reversible by mitigation measures. The construction contractor will be required to: • Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; • Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; • Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for employees;

• Ensure conditions of liveability at work camps are maintained at the highest standards possible at all times; • Prohibit workers from hunting wild animals and cutting of trees for firewood; • Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause soil contamination; • Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; • Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal to designated areas; • Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required; and • Confirm to PIU report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.

107. Debris disposal. Prior to the commencement of works, contractor shall identify a debris disposal site in consultation with the PIU and adhering to following criteria: • The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. Incase agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soils tripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities. • Debris disposal site shall be atleast 200 m away from surface water bodies6. • No residential areas shall be located within 100m downwind side of the site. • The site is minimum 250m away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. • The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the site.

5.4 Operation and Maintenance Impacts 108. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by ULB directly or through an external operator. During the system design life (15/30 years for mechanical/civil components) it shall not require major repairs or refurbishments and should operate with little maintenance beyond routine actions required to keep the equipment in working order. The stability and integrity of the system will be monitored periodically to detect any problems and allow remedial action if required. Any repairs will be small-scale involving manual, temporary, and short-term works involving regular checking and recording of performance for signs of deterioration, servicing and replacement of parts.

109. Recurrence of pipe bursting and leakage problems can be managed by the leak detection and water auditing surveys. The ULB will be required to ensure that the leak detection and rectification time is minimized.

110. Regular ground water monitoring to be conducted to ensure the quality of groundwater suitable for drinking after disinfection. If the ground water quality is deteriorated, the immediate steps to be taken to change the source or creating appropriate treatment facilities.

111. In Raghogarh and Shador water supply schemes, water treatment process will

6In the absence of site meeting the stipulated criteria, analternate site can be selected specifying the reasons. In sucha case, the construction camp management plan should incorporate additional measures specific to the site as suggested by the Construction Manager.

generate sludge from sedimentation of particulate matter in raw water, flocculated and precipitated material resulting from chemical coagulation, residuals of excess chemical dosage, plankton etc; and waste from rinsing and back washing of filter media containing debris, chemical precipitates, straining of organic debris and plankton. . Following are included in the subproject design to dispose the sludge and back wash:

I. Provision for recirculation system for filter backwash – backwash water from filter beds will be sent to a storage tank, and after allowing adequate time for settlement of solids, clarified water will be pumped to WTP inlet. This arrangement will avoid pollution and also minimize wastage of water.

II. Accumulated sludge from clariflocculators, filter backwash etc., will be disposed-off at sludge drying beds for natural drying. Dried sludge will be disposed off in a land fill or used as soil conditioner if it is suitable.

112. The citizens of Raghogarh, Shadora and Badarwas will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system, as they will be provided with a constant supply of better quality water, piped into their homes at an appropriate pressure. The project will improve the over-all health condition of the town as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on health care and lose fewer working days due to illness, so their economic status should also improve, as well as their overall health. This should also improve the environment of these areas, should deliver major improvements in individual and community health and well-being.

6. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

6.1. OVERVIEW

113. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs, and the media in all stages of project preparation and implementation is essential for successful implementation of the project. It will ensure that the subprojects are designed, constructed, and operated with utmost consideration to local needs, ensures community acceptance, and will bring maximum benefits to the people. Public consultation and information disclosure is a must as per the ADB policy.

114. Most of the main stakeholders have already been identified and consulted during preparation of this IEE, and any others that are identified during project implementation will be brought into the process in the future. Primary stakeholders of the subproject are: residents, shopkeepers and businesspeople who live and work alongside the roads in which network improvements will be provided and near sites where facilities will be built (WTP and water tanks), and government and utility agencies responsible for provision of services in towns. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (UDED, PMU and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

115. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

6.2. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

116. The public consultation and disclosure program is a continuous process throughout the project implementation, including project planning, design and construction.

117. Consultation during Project Preparation: Institutional consultations were conducted with the Governmental Departments such as PMU, Pollution Control Board, Public Health Engineering Department, Water Resourced Department, ULB etc. The project proposal is formulated in consultation with Nagar Parishads and suit the requirements of the ULB.

118. Focus-group discussions with affected persons and other stakeholders were conducted to learn their views and concerns. A socio economic household survey has been conducted in the town, covering sample households, to understand the household characteristics, health status, and the infrastructure service levels, and also the demand for infrastructure services. General public and the people residing along the project activity areas were also consulted during visits to the project sites. The detailed of Public

consultation meeting is given in Appendix 2 (Appendix 2A, 2B & 2C).

119. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living standard of the public. The public expressed their concern regarding the nuisance and disturbance (dust, road closure and traffic management activities)

120. Consultation duringconstruction: Prior to start of construction, ULB and PIU with the assistance of PDMC will conduct information dissemination sessions at various places and solicit the help of the local community, leaders/prominent for the project work. At each ward/neighborhood level, focus group meetings will be conducted to discuss and plan construction work with local communities to reduce disturbance and other impacts.

121. A constant communication will be established with the affected communities to redress the environmental issues likely to surface during construction phases and also regarding the grievance redress mechanism. ULB/PIU and PDMC will organize public meetings and will appraise the communities about the progress on the implementation of EMP. Meeting will also be organized at the potential hotspots/sensitive locations before and during the construction.

6.3. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

122. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in Hindi and made available at the offices of PMU, PIU, Nagar Parishad office, and also displayed on their notice boards. Hard copies of the IEE will be accessible to citizens as a means to disclose the document and at the same time creating wider public awareness. Electronic version of the IEE in English and Executive Summary in Hindi will be placed in the official website of the UDED, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

123. Public information campaigns to explain the project details to a wider population will be conducted. Public disclosure meetings will be conducted at key project stages to inform the public of progress and future plans. Prior to start of construction, the PMU/PIU will issue Notification on the start date of implementation in local newspapers A board showing the details of the project will be displayed at the construction site for the information of general public.

124. Local communities will be continuously consulted regarding location of construction camps, access and hauling routes and other likely disturbances during construction. The road closure together with the proposed detours will be communicated via advertising, pamphlets, radio broadcasts, road signage, etc.

7. PROJECT SPECIFIC GRIEVANCE READRESS MECHANISM

Project Specific Grievances Redress Mechanism 125. Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is a part of project management that is likely to increase accountability and responsiveness among service providers and provide a friendly environment to the beneficiaries of the project. GRM is considered a tool to measure efficiency and effectiveness of the project as it provides important feedback on the project management. Effectively addressing public grievances is a core component of managing risks under Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects according to the Safeguard Policy Statement (Safeguard Requirement 2: Involuntary Resettlement, Pages 49-50, June 2009) – “The borrower/client will establish a mechanism to receive and facilitate the resolution of affected persons’ concerns and grievances about physical and economic displacement and other project impacts, paying particular attention to the impacts on vulnerable groups. The grievance redress mechanism should be scaled to the risks and adverse impacts of the project. It should address affected persons’ concerns and complaints promptly, using an understandable and transparent process that is gender responsive, culturally appropriate, and readily accessible to the affected persons at no costs and without retribution. The mechanism should not impede access to the country’s judicial or administrative remedies. The borrower/client will inform affected persons about the mechanism”. The statement allows the formation of grievance redress committee in the project areas to facilitate the concerns of affected people under the project areas.

Purpose of the GRM Manual: 126. This document describes the procedure that shall be followed by the Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDCL) under Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement project (MPUSIP) to address complaints or concerns shared by people affected due to project related interventions.

127. The present document intends to provide clarity to project stakeholders on the grievance redress mechanism procedures to be followed under the project. The document provides clarity on how the complaint shall be received, registered, sorted, assessed, resolved and monitored under MPUSIP. This also includes action plans to be followed for effective implementation.

Principles: 128. The GRM is based on the following principles and the same shall be used to assess the GRM performance:

(a) Accessibility The GRM shall be accessible to all people residing in the project area. It shall be available and provide assistance to all project affected people irrespective of language,

62

literacy level, or cost. Project affected people shall access the GRM without fear of reprisal.

Information on the GRM will be disseminated using various means to ensure people know about GRC, its members and procedures.

(b) Predictability The GRM shall offer clear procedures with time frames for each stage and clarity on the type of results it can and cannot deliver.

(c) Transparency The GRM shall operate in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are being performed. This will be undertaken through disclosure of all information to the public and affected people.

(d) Credibility The performance of the GRM shall enable affected people to accept and believe that the mechanism works, delivers results and is trustworthy.

(e) Fairness The GRM procedures shall be perceived as fair, especially in terms of access to information, and opportunities for meaningful participation in the final decision. Its outcome should be consistent with applicable national standards and should not restrict access to other redress mechanisms.

(f) Feedback The GRM shall serve as a means to channel citizen feedback to improve project outcomes for the people.

It is difficult to avoid Grievances totally but much can be done to minimize and manage complaints in order to reduce impacts.

Nature and scope of Grievance Redress Mechanism under MPUSIP 129. GRM aims to address complaints of local affected people because of project interventions in the selected towns (64 towns) of MPUSIP during the project period.

130. MPUSIP predicts public complaints because of the nature of the project during the design, implementation and operation & maintenance stage of the project. In the design phase, people are expected to raise inconveniences with regards to land acquisition, compensation amount, compensation procedure and environmental issues. During project implementation, grievances may come from individuals or a particular group of people in relation to construction related inconveniences such as dust, noise, blocking drainage, damage roads, walls/boundaries of property and its impact on their daily lives in addition to land acquisition, and compensation. Issues related to corruption shall not be considered by the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC). Corruption related issues shall be forwarded to the State GRC (PMU) directly by the Chairperson of town level 63

GRC at the time of sorting of grievances. The structure, functions of GRC, monitoring & evaluation systems and action plan of its implementation is described below:

Structure of GRM and its Functions 131. The GRM will have a three- tier decision making process. The first tier which is at the town level aims to resolve all construction related grievances which require quick and efficient action. The second tier which is at the project implementation unit (PIU) will handle complaints that could not be resolved by the first- tier level and/or grievances related to land acquisition and compensation. The third tier which is at the project management unit (PMU) or state level will handle complaints which are over and above the scope for the first and second tier and/or complaints which could not be resolved by the first and second tier levels.

132. Contact numbers of GRC Chair-person and members, CDO and contractor’s focal person will be placed at appropriate locations like construction sites, ULB office etc.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL MAANAGEMENT PLAN

8.1. Implementation Arrangement

135. Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency for the Program, responsible for management, coordination and execution of all activities funded under the loan. Implementing Agency will be the recently established Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of GoMP. A central Project Management Unit (PMU) attached to MPUDC will be responsible for implementing the MPUSIP. The PMU will be supported by Program Implementation Units (PIUs) with flexibility to redeployment depending upon the implementation requirements.

136. The PMU and PIUs will be supported by several teams of Design Consultants in preparation of preliminary engineering designs.

137. Water Resource Review Committee (WRRC) is constituted to undertake a thorough review of the source when recommended by the Design Consultant in regard to techno-economic feasibility and sustainability especially ensuring climate change resilience, and Technical Review Committee (TRC) to review and approve the preliminary designs developed by the Design Consultants.

138. Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams located in PIUs shall be responsible for implementation of the Program. All infrastructure contracts will be procured through performance-based contracts (PBCs) and include build-operate (BO) framework. Based on the preliminary designs prepared by Design Consultants, the DBO (design-build-operate) Contractor will design, construct, commission and operate for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the respective ULB.

139. Two Committees - an Empowered Committee cum Executive Committee and a Technical Clearance and Tender Committee have been constituted by the Government to be responsible for effective and timely implementation of the Program.

140. Safeguards. At PMU, there will be two safeguard specialists: (i) Project Officer (Environment) and (ii) Social & Gender Officer, who will responsible for compliance with the environmental and social safeguards in program implementation. PO (Environment) will have overall responsibility in implementation of the investment program as per the Environmental Assessment & Review Framework (EARF) agreed between ADB and the government. At individual subproject level, PO will ensure that environmental assessment is conducted, and a project-specific is prepared and implemented, and the compliance, and corrective actions, if any are reported as required.

141. Project Officer (Environment) at PMU and Assistant Safeguard Officer (ASO) at each of the PIU will be responsible for environment safeguards tasks and will be supported by PMC. At PMC’s environmental safeguards staff include an Environmental Specialist Consultant located centrally in Bhopal, and will be responsible for all safeguard tasks, and he/she is supported by an Environmental Engineer in each PIU. At the time of submission of this IEE, Environmental Specialist at Bhopal has been appointed in PMC, but Environmental Engineer is not appointed in PIU – Gwalior by PMC. 73

Environmental engineer is likely to appointed by PMC at earliest. It is under process. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

8.2. Environment Management Plan

142. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels.

143. The EMP will guide the environmentally-sound construction of the subproject and ensure efficient lines of communication between MPUDC, project management unit (PMU), project implementing unit (PIU), consultants and contractors. The EMP will (i) ensure that the activities are undertaken in a responsible non-detrimental manner; (i) provide a pro-active, feasible and practical working tool to enable the measurement and monitoring of environmental performance on site; (ii) guide and control the implementation of findings and recommendations of the environmental assessment conducted for the subproject; (iii) detail specific actions deemed necessary to assist in mitigating the environmental impact of the subproject; and (iv) ensure that safety recommendations are complied with. The EMP includes a monitoring program to measure the environmental condition and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

144. The contractor will be required to submit to PIU, for review and approval, a site environmental plan (SEP) including (i) proposed sites/locations for construction work camps, storage areas, hauling roads, lay down areas, disposal areas for solid and hazardous wastes; (ii) specific mitigation measures following the approved EMP; (iii) monitoring program as per SEP; and (iv) budget for SEP implementation. No works are allowed to commence prior to approval of SEP.

145. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP will be kept on site during the construction period at all times. The EMP included in the bid and contract documents. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document constitutes a failure in compliance.

146. For civil works, the contractor will be required to (i) carry out all of the mitigation and monitoring measures set forth in the approved SEP; and (ii) implement any corrective or preventative actions set out in safeguards monitoring reports that the employer will prepare from time to time to monitor implementation of this IEE and SEP. The contractor shall allocate budget for compliance with these SEP measures, requirements and actions.

147. The following tables show the potential environmental impacts, proposed mitigation measures and responsible agencies for implementation and monitoring.
