CHAPTER 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Project and public purpose Kochi Salem Pipeline Private Limited (KSPPL) is a Joint Venture of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Indian Oil Corporation Limited with a 50% equity shares each. The project envisages laying of 12”/8”dia , 429 km LPG pipeline from Kochi to Salem connecting their dispatch terminals at Kochi Refinery and Puthuvypeen and Receipt terminals at Udayamperoor, Palakkad, Coimbatore, Erode and Salem LPG plants of BPCL/IOCL. Authorisation for the project is received from PNGRB (Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board) and has approvals from MoEF & CC (Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change), PCB (Pollution Control Board), PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation) and from NHAI, Railways, Irrigation, PWD etc for the crossings of the pipeline in Kerala. The project is intended to reduce the movement of LPG through road and transport through pipeline which is considered to be the most safest mode of LPG transport. The pipeline will have Sectionalising Valve Stations at every 12 Kms for closing the pipeline in segments for any other purpose. The size of the SV Station will be normally 2500 square meters (50 x 50 meters) for accommodating the valve and for building a station for accommodating CP panels, SCADA panels and telecom panels and emergency power supplies. Two such SV stations are planned at Thekkumbagam and Marampilly. This Social Impact Assessment Study analyses the Impact on Kochi – Salem LPG Pipeline Project – Acquisition of land for the construction of Sectionalising Valve Station at Marampilly.
1.2 Location The proposed area is located in the Ernakulam District, Kunnathunadu Taluk, Marampilly Village owned by M.I Muhamed Haris (Resurvey No 65/15-2) and M.A Najeeb (Resurvey No 65/15-3).

1.3 Size and attributes of land acquisition As per the Kerala Gazette Notification No 50/2017 dated 19.12.2017, approximately 0.1990 hectare land is proposed to be acquired for the Construction of Sectionalising Valve Station. The proposed land is Wet Land and presently used for agricultural purpose.
1.4 Alternatives Considered The pipeline route is selected after considering a detailed route survey and studying the various alternative routes possible for laying the pipeline. The major portion i.e.,60% of the proposed pipeline in Kerala passes through the existing RoU of M/s. Petronet CCK Limited, whose pipeline is in operation since 2001 without any risk. Further, more than 90% of this pipeline passes through agricultural lands and the passage of pipeline through populated and residential areas is limited to the maximum extent possible. Additional protection by way of increased thickness and depth is adopted for such areas which cannot be avoided.
1.5 Social Impact While conducting the Social Impact Assessment, the SIA team observed that the proposed acquisition is using for agriculture purpose and no one is residing in the project area. The agricultural activities of the families will be hindered, apart from that, there shall be no other adverse impacts to ecology or related aspects.
1.6 Mitigation Measures The alignment of the proposed project is designed in a way that the passage of pipe line through populated and residential areas is limited to the maximum extent possible. Thus the impact of the acquisition is also minimized, further safety and security measures to be adopted are ensured by the requiring body. Permits and consent from concerned authorities including PNGRB and MoEF had also been taken by the requiring body. (Source: http://www.ksppl.com/statutory- documents). The implementing agency shall comply all the provisions of the

CHAPTER 2
DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Background of the Project KSPPL is a Joint Venture formed between BPCL and IOCL with 50% participation each, for the execution and operation of a 429 km (224 km in Kerala and 205 km in Tamilnadu) long 12”/8” dia pipeline being constructed from Kochi to Salem along with associated state of the art Telecom, SCADA and APPS systems involving 2 dispatch terminals, 5 receipt stations and 34 SV stations at an estimated investment of Rs. 1112 Cr including IDC.
The project is envisaged for transportation of LPG from BPCL, Kochi Refinery (after its expansion from 9.5 MMTPA to 15.5 MMTPA) and from the proposed IOCL import terminal Puthuvypeen to BPCL/IOCL LPG plants at IOCL Udayamperoor, BPCL Palakkad, BPCL Coimbatore, IOCL Coimbatore, Erode, and Salem. The project is intended to reduce the movement of LPG through road, and transport it through pipeline which is considered to be the safest mode of LPG transport.
Authorisation for the project is received from PNGRB (Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board) and has approvals from MoEF & CC (Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change), PCB (Pollution Control Board), PESO (Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation) and from NHAI, Railways, and Irrigation PWD etc. for the crossing of the pipeline in Kerala.
2.2 Rationale of the project Pipeline mode of transport is considered to be the safest mode of transport of petroleum products and Kerala Govt. has insisted for movement of LPG through pipeline instead of roadways, which is prone to accidents and related major consequences. The project envisages the movement of LPG through pipeline from Kochi Refinery and IOCL, Puthuvypeen to the bottling plants of IOCL and BPCL as

CHAPTER 11
ANALYSIS OF COSTS AND BENEFITS AND RECOMMENDATION ON ACQUISITION
The project is intended to reduce the movement of LPG through road and transport through pipeline which is considered to be the most safest mode of LPG transport. The pipeline route is selected after considering a detailed route survey and studying the various alternative routes possible for laying the pipeline. The major portion of this pipeline in Kerala passes through the existing RoU of M/s. Petronet CCK Limited, whose pipeline has been in operation since 2001 without any risk. Further, more than 90% of this pipeline passes through agricultural lands and the passage of pipeline through populated and residential areas is limited to the maximum extent possible. Additional protection by way of increased thickness and depth is adopted for such areas which cannot be avoided.
While conducting the Social Impact Assessment, the SIA team observed that the proposed acquisition is using for agriculture purpose and no one is residing in the project area. The land owners had made improvements in the land, elevated the plot by filling with soil after building proper basement. The land is a converted property which the land owners using for agriculture presently. For irrigation, Mr M I Muhammed Haris dug an open well and pump house and availed an electricity connection at his land for his use.
Due to the acquisition of land the agricultural activities of the families will be hindered and the owner cannot be able to engage in any agricultural activity, or construction of any buildings in future. Apart from that, there shall be no other adverse impacts to ecology or related aspects.
The project is treated as a public purpose project under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and

Resettlement Act, 2013 (30 of 2013) Section 2. Considering the public advantage and interest, and treating the project as a vital need, the project implementation is recommended.
