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. As per the GoI EIA Notification, 2006, this subproject does not require EIA study or environmental clearance. 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 Amarpatan and New Ramnagar water supply 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. Accordingly, this IEE assesses the environmental impacts and provided mitigation and monitoring measures to ensure that there are no significant impacts as a result of the project.

7. This IEE aims to (i) provide critical facts, significant findings, 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 the Environment. The subproject components are located in New Ramnagar and Amarpatan towns and their surroundings. Project area experiences subtropical climate, typical to north India, hot summers, cold and dry winters and monsoon rains. There are no protected areas, like wildlife sanctuaries, national parks. Town is densely populated in the core/old town areas with narrow lanes, and small and closely built houses, while most of the areas are undeveloped. The proposed intake well for Amarpatan is located in Ban Sagar Dam (on Sone River), about 30 km away from Amarpatan town. Dam is surrounded by agricultural and hilly forest areas. There are forest areas on route from dam to town, and therefore some components are located in forest lands. Break Pressure Tank (BPT) and WTP including clear water sump are proposed on hills in forest area (Papra Reserved forest) in between Garsari and Kirohi villages. The raw water rising main (RWRM) connecting intake to BPT and BPT to WTP is proposed along existing roads. At three sections, the pipeline falls under forest, as the roads in those stretches are in forests. These sections are: (i) about 2 km section from intake well to Amilia village, in Shikarganj reserved forest (locally known as Kendhua Pahad); (ii) about 1 km stretch from Gorsari village to Kirahi village, and up to BPT in Papra reserved forest; and (iii) about 2 km stretch from BPT to WTP in Papra reserved forest. Papra reserved forest and Shikarganj reserved forest are open mixed forests with low tree cover and mostly covered with shrubs and bushes. There are no trees on the selected sites. Both the BPT and WTP sites are located along existing roads constructed by PWD (Public Works Department) in forest areas. No tree cutting is envisaged, except clearance of shrubs and bushes. Prior permission from forest department is required for laying of RWRM and construction of BPT and WTP, and application for the same has already been submitted by Amarpatan Nagar Parishad to forest department (Refer Appendix 19).

9. Clear water transmission pipes, from WTP to distribution reservoirs, will be partly outside and partly within the town. All the distribution pipelines will be laid along the public roads. In wider roads, pipeline will be laid in the earthen shoulder along the tarmac within ROW, and, where there is no space along the roads or in narrow road in central town area, pipelines will be laid within the road tarmac. There are no forest areas within the town There is no notable tree cover, and therefore no tree cutting is envisaged for laying of pipelines. Overhead tank (OHT) sites are located within the municipal limit.

10. Potential environmental impacts. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) relatively small scale as the population and water demand is minimal, and appropriate source is selected considering water availability & sustainability (ii) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; and (iii) predicted impacts are site-specific and likely to be associated with the construction process and are produced because the process is invasive, involving excavation and earth movements.

11. Environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location are not significant. Few components are located in forest areas, however, given that these components are located along the existing roads, and the forest are of open mixed type forests with low tree cover and no protected species, no significant impacts are envisaged. The proposed water supply schemes in towns include design of new water sources based on nearest existing dams, that include construction of Intake well and drawing of water from existing dams i.e. Ban Sagar Dam for Amarpatan and New Ramnagar. Considering good water availability and low water requirement of towns, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability. Water quality is good and there are no potential 7 pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Iron (Fe) content in dam is higher than the standard, and the water treatment proposed will treat this to acceptable levels.

12. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the construction work in forest areas, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import of construction material, and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. As intake works are conducted in dams/reservoirs, there is a risk of water contamination, river bed damage, etc. These impacts are temporary and reversible. Appropriate measures are suggested.

13. Environmental Management Plan. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. Locations and sitting of the proposed infrastructures were considered to further reduce impacts. 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.

14. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged and safe sludge disposal (iii) energy efficient pumping equipment and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) appropriate selection of construction methodology and scheduling of works in dams/reservoirs and forests to minimize the impacts on water quality and forests; (ii) implementation of traffic management plan in coordination with local traffic police to minimize traffic impacts; (iii) awareness campaigns and consultations to inform residents and businesses of potential disturbances; (iv) provision of walkways and planks over trenches to ensure access will not be impeded; (v) use of noise- dampening measures in areas with sensitive receptors such as hospitals, schools, places of worships and other silence-zones; (vi) use of dust-suppression methods such as watering and/or covering of stockpiles; and (vii) 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.

15. 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 8 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.

16. The DBO 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.

17. Consultation, disclosure and grievance redress mechanism. Public consultations were done in the preparation of the project and IEE at various level-town level and with people and residents residing near proposed subprojects components. Consultations will continue throughout the project implementation period. 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.

18. 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 Project 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. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

19. 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.

20. Conclusions and Recommendations. The subproject 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 9 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). Project will require (i) permission of Water Resources Department (WRD) for water abstraction, intake construction, (ii) Permission of forest Department for construction of (a) BPT, (b) WTP and; (c) laying of Raw water rising main, in Amarpatan town and (iii) consent of Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board (MPPCB) for WTP. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained prior to award of contracts.

21. 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

6. 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 5, for New Ramnagar and for Amarpatan). 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 12

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.

7. This IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the DPR consultant team namely MaRs Planning & Engineering Services PVT. LTD. & Vastushilpi Projects & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. 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.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

A. Project Area

9. This report presents the proposed water supply scheme of New Ramnagar and Amarpatan. The New Ramnagar and Amarpatan are located in Satna District of Madhya Pradesh. Satna District is bounded by Allahabad (U.P.) districts in the north; Rewa district in the east; Panna in west and Katni, Umaria and Shahdol in south. . Satna is a border city of the state and is touched by the borders of the state of Uttar Pradesh. Satna is known as cement city, as it lies in lime stone belt of India and contribute 8-9% of India`s total cement production.

10. New Ramnagar: The New Ramnagar is located in Satna District of Madhya Pradesh. New Ramnagar is bounded by Allahabad District (Uttar Pradesh State) in the north; Rewa district in the east; Panna in the west and Katni, Umaria and Shahdol in the south. The city is located on 24⁰ 21’ N latitude and 81⁰ 08’ E longitudes. The place is renowned for Dolomite mines and Limestone. Earlier New Ramnagar was a Gram Panchayat and now upgraded as a Nagar Parishad. New Ramnagar Nagar Parishad is notified by the Madhya Pradesh Government with a notification letter no: Sr. No 45-F-4-108-2009-18-3 Madhya Pradesh Municipal Act 1961 (Sr. No.37, 1961) code 5(1) B dated on 15 September, 2011. The total area of the town is 1322 ha i.e. 13.22 sq km. As per 2011 census, the population of Amarpatan is 22,505. Due to construction of Dam (Bansagar) on Son river, several villages fell under submergence but of which Ramnagar and Devrajnagar were important and highly populated villages. For rehabilitation of them and other surrounding submerged villages, plan was proposed to rehabilitate at higher elevation. Thus, named as New Ramnagar. New Ramnagar is situated at an average elevation of 378 Meters above mean sea level.

B. Existing Water Supply Situation

12. New Ramnagar. Ground water is the main source of water supply in New Ramnagar town. The town gets water supply from the tube wells. Water is supplied through pipes at spot source from the tube wells. A significant volume of ground water is also extracted through a network of bore-wells and hand pumps. The quality of groundwater is fairly good but the groundwater level is depleting rapidly due to low rainfall and recharging problems of Tube well. In surface source water supply to the town is based on source of Bardaha Nadi/nala. There is one intake/pump house is also located near the nala.

13. Presently water level of New Ramnagar Nagar Parishad varies from 500-600 meters. At present approximately 1 M.L.D water is being supplied to the town which is quite inadequate for the present population. New Ramnagar Nagar Parishad is in charge of operations and maintenance of water. There are 2 Over Head Tanks (OHTs) with a capacity of 2.5 Lakhs Litter and other is 4Lakhs Litter. Both are in working condition. There is an existing WTP of 2.66 MLD, which is in good working condition.

14. Presently the water supply is being provided to the population at the rate of less than 40-50 LPCD from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, which is far less than the minimum needs since the town is in the semi-arid geological formation. Most of the population of the outer villages is depending on their own hand pumps. There are 2 OHTs in New Ramnagar Nagar Parishad. The water is supplied by gravity flow from OHT. The pipelines diameter in the distribution network varies between 80mm and 150 mm & all pump houses are functioning.

15. Ongoing Project for Water supply improvement in New Ramnagar. At present a water supply improvement project is under implementation in New Ramnagar by Water Resources Department (WRD) of Government of Madhya Pradesh. Following components are being implemented under the WRD project including current status.

➢ Intake cum Pump House (source: Bansagar dam): construction completed ➢ Raw water pumping unit, rising main, break pressure tank, gravity main: under construction ➢ Construction of new WTP of 2.15 MLD: construction completed (together with existing WTP of 2.66 MLD, this will meet the total ultimate demand of 2048, i.e.4.62 MLD) ➢ OHTs (3 numbers): construction completed ➢ Distribution network in zone 4: 27.10 km length of network already laid. Work order issued for laying of 22.67 km in length and it is under progress

16. As per above, the WRD project is developing a comprehensive water supply scheme to provide water supply with a design demand of 2048 and includes all components from source to consumer end. However, considering the availability of funds, distribution network is being implemented only in one of the total four water supply zones (zone 4, comprise mainly old/core town area taken up in WRD project). This leaves the rest three water supply zones (Zone 1, 2 and 3) without any network and consumer connections. This is included in MPUSIP.

17. Amarpatan. The piped water supply scheme of Amarpatan town was first introduced in 1985 by Public Health Engineering Department. The scheme comprises of 4 Tube wells and a OHT of capacity 225 KL After the failure of earlier Tube wells, the Nagar Parishad has 16 developed 12 nos. Tube wells for the water supply. Out of this, only 5 nos. Tube wells are functional and rest of the 7 have gone dry. The present installed capacity of water supply system of Amarpatan based on 5 nos. Tube wells, 182 hand pumps are almost 0.60 MLD. There is no water treatment plant & intake well. Water from tube-wells is either pumped into OHT or supplied directly to the residents of Amarpatan after adding bleaching powder for disinfection.

18. Presently Amarpatan is having Three Overhead Tanks of capacity 225 KL, 300 KL and 300 KL to serve all the area of Amarpatan. Out of these three OHTs, only two overhead tanks are in use having capacity of 225 KL and 300 KL. It is proposed to use all the overhead tanks for the scheme. The OHTs are filed from the tube wells by pumping with the help of motors fitted in tube wells. Thereafter the water is supplied directly to the consumers by adding bleaching powder. Nagar Parishad supply water for One hour in every alternate day. During dry season, water tankers are used to supply water to ward no. 5,6,7,1 & 2.

19. The OHT is being filled by 5 nos. Tube wells fitted with motor pumps. The existing distribution system comprises of GI, CI and PVC pipes having diameters of 50 mm - 150 mm having total length of 8 km approximately. The pipes are not in a good condition and need to be replaced. Presently there are 1516 domestic connections and 11 non-domestic connections in Amarpatan.

20. Overall, the current water supply systems in both the towns face issues predominantly resulting from receding groundwater sources, low coverage and unreliable supply, inadequate infrastructure and heavy water losses.

C. Proposed Project

21. Water Source. An alternative source analysis has been conducted to select a feasible and sustainable source of water supply to meet the ultimate design demand. Three alternatives: (i) ground water; (ii) Tamas River, and (iii) Bansagar Dam, have been studied, and Bansagar dam is selected based on the techno-economic and environment considerations.

22. Proposed Project Components. As part of this project, it is proposed to develop comprehensive water supply scheme for Amarpatan town, and in New Ramnagar, it is proposed to provide distribution network and consumer connections is presently uncovered 3 zones (Zone 1, 2 and 3). For Amarpatan town, proposal includes: new water source, treatment facility, storage reservoirs, pumping and transmission and distribution infrastructure including connections.

23. Following Table 1 shows the proposed water supply systems along with nature and size of components in three subproject towns. Figure 2 to Figure 12 show the proposed water systems, component layouts etc.

24. 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 both the towns are 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 in the Bansagar dam reservoir, 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.

25. 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.

A. Implementation Schedule

26. After the approval of the detailed project report, bid will be prepared and tenders are likely to be invited by February 2019, and the contract will be awarded by July 2019. Construction is likely to start in August 2019, and will take about 24 months.

IV. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

27. 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.

28. 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.

29. 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.

30. 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.

B. National Environmental Laws

31. 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 EC must be obtained before any construction work or land preparation (except land acquisition) may commence. Projects are categorized as A or B1 or B2 depending on the scale of the 33 project and the nature of its impacts. None of the components of this water supply subproject falls under the ambit of the EIA Notification 2006, and, therefore no category assigned, and thus no EIA study and EC required for the subproject.

32. 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.

Table 2: Applicable Environmental Regulations

33. 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 Guidelines1 (IFC’s General EHS Guidelines 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:

VI. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Introduction

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/eaguidelines002.asp is 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, and the proposed stop dams are so shallow that the submergence 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 project will be in properties held by the local government and access to the project location is through 58 public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

B. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

43. Design of the Proposed Components. In New Ramnagar, proposed works under MPUSIP include distribution network and house service connections. In Amarapatan, proposal includes development of complete water supply system from source, to treatment, distribution, and house service connections. Technical design of the (i) intake facility, (ii) water treatment plant; (iii) raw water and clear water mains, and (v) distribution network, connections, flow meters, etc., follows the relevant national planning and design guidelines, focusing on providing a robust system which is easy to operate, sustainable, efficient and economically viable. Besides, the project also included the following environmental considerations:

(i) Discontinuation of current unsustainable groundwater source and creating a new water supply system based on nearest surface water sources (ii) Recovering backwash water from treatment process (iii) Treatment and reuse of sludge from treatment process (iv) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (HDPE pipes up to 150 mm diameter joined by electro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher diameter pipes by on site butt welding) (v) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimizing the overall energy usage (vi) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies (vii) 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 (viii) Minimize unaccounted for water (UFW) losses using district metered area approach with flow meter and pressure logging arrangements to identify and rectify the leaks, and unauthorized connections (ix) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

44. Water Source & Sustainability. As stated, only Amarpatan includes development of new water supply source, while in Ramnagar project includes only laying of distribution lines.

(A) Amarpatan: The design population of Amarpatan for the year 2048 is 29,500. Presently Amarpatan is getting 0.60 MLD water from Tube Wells. Looking to the failure of tube wells and depleting underground water table, the ground water sources cannot be considered dependable and economical for the water supply of Amarpatan for the design period of next 30 years. For supplying potable water from the surface source, the various water sources in and around the project vicinity has been examined. Following are the possible sources:

(i) Tamas River. The Tamsa River (also known as the Tons River) is a tributary of the Ganges flowing at a distance of 15 km from Amarapatan. It is a non-perennial river. The flow of the river ceases by the end of February every year. For drawing of 2.45 MLD raw water from the river, a storage reservoir is to be constructed. 59

However, looking to the small catchment and capital cost, this has not been considered as the source of water supply to Amarpatan.

(ii) Ground Water. The ground water level in decreasing every year due to over burden. According to CGWB report, Amarpatan is declared as critical town in terms of over utilization of ground water. It contains heavy amount of Nitrate (NO3) more than 45 mg/liter which is cause Blue baby disease. Hence it cannot be considered as a source of water supply for next 30 years.

(iii) Ban Sagar Dam: Bansagar or Ban Sagar Dam is a multipurpose river Valley Project on Sone River situated near Amarpatan, about 29 km southeast of the town. This is located at Latitude 24o11’30 N and Longitude 81o 17’15 E near Deolond village in Shahdol district. This is a large multipurpose dam in the Ganges Basin, providing water for irrigation (and other purposes) and for hydroelectric power generation (425 MW). Water is available throughout the year; hence it is an appropriate source of water supply. It is proposed to construct an Intake well near Markhande Ashram (24° 5' 35.87" N and 81° 0' 27.95" E) for the drawl of the required raw water for design period of next 30 years. There is a major district road (MDR) that connects Amarpatan and Ban Sagar Dam.

45. Dam water sustainability and environmental considerations. The gross storage capacity of Bansagar reservoir is 6370 million cubic meter (MCM), and live storage capacity is 5410 MCM (see table below), while the water requirement for the project is 2.45 MLD or 0.894 MCM per year, which is only 0.014%. of gross storage capacity and 0.016% of live storage capacity. As per Madhya Pradesh Water policy 2003; deals with Water Allocation Priorities, and according to which drinking water supply shall have the highest priority followed by irrigation, power, tourism, etc. Policy also states that “clear provision for reservation of drinking water shall be made in irrigation projects” Due allocation for Amarpatan water supply from Bansagar is already made by WRD. Given very small water requirement and due allocation for the purpose, there are no water use conflicts, no notable impacts envisaged due to abstraction of water

46. For supplying water from Bansagar Dam all the year round, an intake well is to be constructed in the Dam. For that, reconnaissance survey was carried out from 26/07/2016 to 01/08/2016 in the Dam site. An intake site selected near Markande Ashram.

5 Gross Storage at FRL 0.6370 million ham

6 Dead Storage 0.096 million ha-m 60

7 Live Storage 0.541 million-ha m ha-m = hectare – m;

47. Bansagar Dam Water quality. The water quality of source (Bansagar dam) is suitable for drinking water after conventional water treatment and disinfection. WTP already proposed in the project. Water quality report is presented in Appendix 6, and all the tested physico- chemical parameters are well within the permissible limits of drinking water standards. Project includes a water treatment plant to further treat and disinfect the water prior to its supply. A regular water quality regime will be established during operation phase for checking the raw water quality. The water supplied to the consumers at all-time must meet the drinking water standards (Appendix 16)

(B) New Ramnagar: The proposal under MPUSIP for New Ramnagar town includes only provision of water supply network including water connections in three of the four water supply zones in the town. Under an ongoing (near completion) water supply project funded by the Government, water intake, water treatment plant, overhead tanks, raw and clear water transmission mains, and distribution network in one of four zones are provided. These components are not constructed in anticipation of ADB project nor any rehabilitation or augmentation proposed under ADB project for these components. Therefore, as per the ADB SPS 2009, this is not an associated facility.

48. However, the sustainability of ADB project depends on this project. Treated water will be sourced from the ongoing project and supplied to the project area. Adequacy of water supply to meet the project demand, quality of supplied water meeting the drinking water standards, and regulatory compliance is necessary for the ADB project to be sustainable and provide intended benefits.

49. In terms of adequacy of water supply, the source for New Ramnagar is Bansagar Dam, same as project town Amarpatan. Bansagar dam, as presented under Amarpatan town source sustainability analysis, is a major multipurpose dam with a large storage provide water supply to various purposes. Water allocation is already made by WRD to New Ramnagar Town under the ongoing government funded project where intake is constructed in Bansagar Dam. Therefore, there are no anticipated issues due to source sustainability. In terms of quality of raw water as well, as presented in Amarpatan town, source water quality is good. An existing treatment plant of 2.66 MLD and a new treatment plant f 2.15 MLD is available to treat and disinfect water prior to its supply. Total estimated water requirement is 4.62 MLD up to design year 2048, while the treatment capacity available is 4.81 MLD, slightly more than the requirement. In the existing treatment plant, there is no chlorination system. In the new WTP, disinfection facility has been provided and it will disinfect treated water from both the plants.

50. In terms of legal compliance, water treatment plant operation requires consent to operate from the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. However, at present none of WTPs have consent to operate, this needs to be obtained immediately. Regulatory non-compliance may lead to service disruptions, and may affect water supply. PMU should liaise with PHED, MPPCB and New Ramnagar Nagar Parishad to obtain this.

51. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at Amarpatan 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, chlorination facility will be provided with the following safety provisions: (i) Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder (ii) Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities (iii) Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage (iv) Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant (v) Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier (vi) 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

52. Sensitive project locations. Subproject components are mostly located in the urban areas of Amarpatan & New Ramnagar, where there are no sensitive environmental features. There are hilly forest areas on route to the Bansagar dam source. Water treatment plant (WTP) and break pressure tank (BPT) are proposed in forest land. The selected sites are located along Amarpatan – Bansagar Dam road, and falls in Papra Reserve Forest. Raw water pipeline from Dam to WTP is proposed along Amarpatan – Bansagar Dam. Although this is a Public Works Department (PWD Road), it was built via forests land in forest sections by obtaining right of way from the Forest Department. About 4 km of total 21 km of pipeline along the road falls in these forest stretches: (i) from intake to Amilia village (2 km length) in Shikarganj reserved forest (locally known as Kendhua Pahad) and, (ii) from BPT to WTP (2 km length) in Papri Reserved Forest. Even though these sections are proposed within the road right of way, permission from Forest Department is necessary. Besides 1 km of raw water main alignment is proposed through the forest from Gorsari village to BPT in Papri Reserved Forest. This section deviates from Amarpatan-Bansagar Dam road and laid through forest. At this section road is very narrow and has very sharp and long turn and to avoid this it is proposed cross country via the forest land.

53. Shikarganj Reserved Forest falls under jurisdiction of Forest Department, Satna District. This forest is mixed deciduous forest. Flora include teak (tectona grandis) , local Bamboo, Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Mahua (Madhuca longifolia), saja (Terminalia tomentosa), salai (Boswellia serrata), tendu (Diospyros tomentosa), Woodfordia floribunda, Khair (Acacia catechu), Ber bushes etc., The ground is covered with maze of grasses, plants, bushes such as Saja (Terminalia tomentosa), Salai (Boswellia serrata), tendu (Diospyros tomentosa), Wood fordia floribunda, Khair (Acacia catechu), etc. Wild animals found in the forest are: Monkey (Macaca Fascicularis), Nilgai/Blue bulls (Boselaphus tragocamelus), deers (Cervidae) etc., There are no protected or endangered species. Pipeline in the forest is to be laid along the existing PWD road, there are no trees or vegetation in the alignment. There is no interference with the forest area.

54. Papra Reserved Forest is open mixed forest with low / sparse vegetation. Tress in the forest mainly include teak (Tectona grandis), Bamboo, Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), Mahua (Madhuca longifolia), and fauna include monkey (Macaca Fascicularis), Nilgai/Blue bulls (Boselaphus tragocamelus) etc., Both the WTP and BPT sites are located along the road, devoid of any trees except few shrubs and bushes. WTP site is covered with rock outcrops, 62 and there is no vegetation. Cutting of rocks, especially if blasting method is adopted, will generate high noise and vibration. There are few trees on the periphery which will not be removed. Given site location along the road and without any tree cover, no notable impacts envisaged on the forest land. All activities must be confined to the site, there shall be no intrusion into surrounding forest land. Noise and dust during construction may create nuisance.

55. About 2 km of pipeline is to be laid along the PWD road in Papri forest. There are no trees or vegetation in the alignment. There is no interference with the forest area anticipated.

56. About 1 km pipeline is to be laid through Papri forest land. The forest patch in and around the alignment has no notable tree cover except shrubs and bushes including Bamboo. The diameter of pipeline proposed is small (200 mm) which require a trench of 0.4-0.5 wide and 1 m deep only. There is no tree cutting, removal of bushes and shrubs will be minimal. Removal of bamboo plants will be avoided by better alignment. Although there is no notable wildlife, measures will be required during the construction to avoid any disturbance and damage to forest resources.

57. Following measures are to be followed: • Obtain permission from forest department • No trees shall be cut except removal of shrubs and bushes in the forest area; trees on the periphery of BPT and WTP sites shall be integrated into layout design and shall not be cut • Bamboo bushes shall be avoided by appropriate alignment through forest land • All workers shall be trained and made aware of working conditions in forest area; strict protocols shall be put in place so that no workers or staff ventures into the forest land, and/or damage / disturb any tree /plant/wild animals; hunting and collection of fire wood strictly prohibited and DBO contractor shall be responsible for any such acts, and should put in place such as a system so that such acts do not occur • Create awareness among workers and staff about the forest animals, and how to deal with the situation when any animal ventures near the work sites, safety measures to avoid damage/disturbance to wild animal as well as to staff and workers • No labour camps shall be provided in BPT and WTP sites or anywhere near the forests; labour camps shall be at least 2 km away from the boundary of forest land • Prior to start of any work including land clearance, demarcate the site along with forest department and provide a compound wall (3 m high) to the BPT and WTP sites on all sides; controlled access (entry/exit with gates) should be provided from road side only • Provide green dust screen around the sites of 6 m height • No high noise generating works shall be conducted • Minimize removal of rock outcrop as much as possible at WTP by integrating the profile into design, and adopting to site conditions; avoid blasting of rocks, and adopt manual chiseling methods; if blasting can’t be avoided, prior permission from forest department is required • No earthwork shall be conducted during rains; no works of pumping main shall be conducted during rains; • Works shall be conducted only during day light hours 63

• All the cut and open surfaces shall be properly consolidated and protected with surface pitching /grass turfing etc., as appropriate to avoid any surface erosion in the hill slopes • Pumping main works shall be conducted section-wise, pipe placed, refilled, consolidated and completed on the same day; no trenches shall be kept open in the night

58. 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 ULB 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. These are given in the EMP (Table 9).

59. 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 etc. or in areas which will inconvenience the community.

60. 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 avoiding 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.

C. Construction Impacts

61. 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 all the towns are very narrow and congested with pedestrians and vehicles (mainly 2-wheelers), while the roads in outer areas are wide.

62. Earth work excavation will be undertaken by machine (backhoe excavator) or manually and include danger lighting and using barricades at every 100 m. 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 64 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 excel soil shall be used for construction. This soil shall be used for construction of WTP in ground leveling.

63. Other civil works. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of intake cum pump houses in the Ban Sagar Dam, raw water pumping station, water treatment plants, water tanks (ground level / overhead), pumping stations at 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. Works will be mostly conducted during the low – water level period, during which there will be no submergence at the selected intake site. Works will be completed before onset of the monsoon flow into the dam. An enclosed area (about 10 m dia) will be created at the selected site using temporary barriers like sand bags or sheet piles. The construction will follow the general construction procedures to create an RCC well of size 6 m diameter. Once the work is over, the temporary barriers will be removed.

64. Although construction of these project components involves quite simple techniques of civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the project locations in water bodies (for intakes) and the built-up areas in town where there are a variety of human activities, will result in impacts to the environment and sensitive receptors such as residents, businesses, and the community in general. The following temporary and short duration impacts envisaged:

65. Sources of Materials. Significant amount of sand and coarse aggregate will be required for this project. The construction contractor will be required to:

(i) Use material sources permitted by government; (ii) Verify suitability of all material sources and obtain approval of PIU; and (iii) Submit to PIU on a monthly basis documentation of sources of materials.

66. Air Quality. Emissions from construction vehicles, equipment, and machinery used for excavation and construction will 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. These however will be temporary, limiting to construction activities only. To mitigate the impacts, construction contractors will be required to:

(i) Damp down exposed soil and any stockpiled material on site by water sprinkling; (ii) Use tarpaulins to cover sand and other loose material when transported by trucks; (iii) Clean wheels and undercarriage of haul trucks prior to leaving construction site (iv) Disallow access in the work area except workers to limit soil disturbance and prevent access by barricading and security personnel (v) Fit all heavy equipment and machinery with air pollution control devices which are operating correctly.

67. 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, 65 these potential impacts are short-term and temporary. However, to ensure that these are mitigated, construction contractor will be required to:

(i) All earthworks be conducted during the dry season to prevent the problem of soil run-off during monsoon season; (ii) Avoid stockpiling of earth fill especially during the monsoon season unless covered by tarpaulins or plastic sheets; (iii) Prioritize re-use of excess spoils and materials in the construction works. If spoils will be disposed, only designated disposal areas shall be used; (iv) Install temporary silt traps or sedimentation basins along the drainage leading to the water bodies; (v) Place storage areas for fuels and lubricants away from any drainage leading to water bodies; (vi) Dispose any wastes generated by construction activities in designated sites; and (vii) Conduct surface quality inspection according to the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

68. Construction of intake well in the dam may lead to 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-situ soil 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 same period to prior to onset of monsoon; confirm with Bansagar 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; only clear/clarified water shall be pumped back into the reservoir; any silt laden water should be pumped to a silt pond. (v) Avoid/minimize use of fuels, chemicals and lubricants; ensure no spillage

69. 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 watercourses and could negatively impact the landscape. The following mitigation measures to minimize impacts from waste generation shall be implemented by the contractor:

(i) Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan (ii) Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from steep slopes and water bodies; 66

(iii) Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be disposing to approved designated areas; (iv) Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non- biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site; (v) Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities; (vi) Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste; (vii) Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and adjacent areas. (viii) Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

70. Noise and Vibration Levels. Except water intake, BPT and WTP, all the construction works will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in both the towns’ urban area and surroundings, where there are houses, schools and hospitals, religious & historical places and small-scale businesses. The sensitive receptors are the general population in these areas. Increase in noise level may be caused by excavation, particularly breaking of cement concrete or bitumen roads, operation of construction equipment like concrete mixers, and the transportation of equipment, materials, and people. 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:

(i) 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; (ii) Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle’s approach; (iii) Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimize sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and (iv) Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s. (v) Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity; (vi) Surface and Groundwater Quality. Another physical impact that is often associated with excavation is the effect on drainage and the local water table if groundwater and surface water collect in the voids. In all the towns groundwater is deeper than the proposed excavation depths, and rains are limited to short duration during 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.

71. 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 area is very narrow. However, most of the roads are used by pedestrians and two wheelers, and 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: 67

(i) 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 (ii) Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; (iii) Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; (iv) Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; (v) Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; (vi) Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion; (vii) Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; (viii) Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; (ix) 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 (x) Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints.

72. Wherever road width is minimal, there will be temporary loss of access to pedestrians and vehicular traffic including 2 wheelers during the laying of pipes. Under those circumstances, contractor shall adopt following measures:

(i) Inform the affected local population 1-week in advance about the work schedule. (ii) Plan and execute the work in such a way that the period of disturbance/ loss of access is minimum. (iii) 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.

73. Socio-Economic – Income. The project components will be located in government land and there is no requirement for land acquisition or 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:

(i) Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; (ii) Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; (iii) Increase workforce in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools; (iv) Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and 68

(v) Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. (vi) Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water supply. (vii) Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

74. 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:

(i) Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent;

75. 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:

(i) Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 12); (ii) IFC’s General EHS Guidelines and Sector Specific (Water and Sanitation) Guidelines (iii) Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) Plan which will include measures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (iv) ensuring all workers are provided with and use personal protective equipment; (c) OH&S Training1 for all site personnel; (d) documented procedures to be followed for all site activities; and (e) documentation of work-related accidents; (v) Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; (vi) Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; (vii) Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; (viii) Provide supplies of potable drinking water; (ix) Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; (x) 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; (xi) Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; (xii) Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; (xiii) 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 (xiv) Disallow worker exposure to noise level greater than 85 dBA for duration of more than 8 hours per day without hearing protection. The use of hearing protection shall be enforced actively.

76. 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.

77. 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:

(i) Plan routes to avoid times of peak-pedestrian activities. (ii) Liaise with PIU in identifying risk areas on route cards/maps. (iii) Maintain regularly the vehicles and use of manufacturer-approved parts to minimize potentially serious accidents caused by equipment malfunction or premature failure. (iv) Provide road signs and flag persons to warn of on-going trenching activities.

78. 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:

(i) Consult PIU before locating project offices, sheds, and construction plants; (ii) Minimize removal of vegetation and disallow cutting of trees; (iii) Provide drinking water, water for other uses, and sanitation facilities for employees; (iv) Ensure conditions of livability at work camps are maintained at the highest standards possible at all times; (v) Prohibit employees from poaching wildlife and cutting of trees for firewood; (vi) Train employees in the storage and handling of materials which can potentially cause soil contamination; (vii) Recover used oil and lubricants and reuse or remove from the site; (viii) Manage solid waste according to the following preference hierarchy: reuse, recycling and disposal to designated areas; (ix) Remove all wreckage, rubbish, or temporary structures which are no longer required; and (x) Confirm to PMU report in writing that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions before acceptance of work.

79. 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:

(i) The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities. (ii) Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies. (iii) No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. (iv) The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. 70

(v) The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the site

D. Operation and Maintenance Impacts

80. Operation and Maintenance of the water supply system will be carried out by the DBO Contractor for 10 years, and after which the respective municipalities will operate and maintain the infrastructure. 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.

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

82. Since back water is recovered and recirculated in the WTP, no wastewater will be generated from water treatment process. The sludge generated from the wash water storage tank, and sedimentation tanks

(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. Water treatment process will 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.

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

83. Project benefits. During the construction phase, there are likely to be positive impacts through employment generation, increase in local revenue from the project activities. During the operation phase also, there is potential for employment generation, though limited, as the improved and expanded water infrastructure requires additional workforce.

84. The citizens of New Ramnagar and Amarpatan 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 towns as water borne diseases will be reduced, so people should spend less on healthcare 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. 71

VII. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Overview

85. The active participation of stakeholders including local community, NGOs/CBOs, 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 are a must as per the ADB policy.

86. 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 New Ramnagar and Amarpatan, WRD and MPPCB, etc. Secondary stakeholder is: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (MPUDC, PMU and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

B. Public Consultation

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

1. Consultation during Project Preparation

88. Institutional consultations were conducted with the relevant Governmental Departments such as WRD, PHED, MPPCB, FD, etc. The subproject proposals are formulated in consultation with New Ramnagar Nagar and Amarpatan Parishad to suit the requirements of the respective towns.

89. 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 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. Formal town-level consultation meetings were conducted in January 2016 in all the three subproject towns. Besides, several other meetings also conducted at ward-level with communities and at market with street vendors and hawkers. The details of consultation are provided in Appendix 1 to Appendix 4 for New Ramnagar and Amarpatan Town.

90. The people are willing to extend their cooperation as the activities are proposed to improve the water supply service levels and the living standards. Stakeholder expressed their concern regarding water charges, affordability, disturbance and loss of business 72

due to the work in market area (dust, road closure etc.). The project team explained the proposed mitigation measures to mitigate / minimize such issues.

2. Consultation during construction

91. Prior to start of construction, ULB and PIU with the assistance of PMC will conduct information dissemination sessions at various places and solicit the help of the local 87 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. 92. 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 PMC 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.

C. Information Disclosure

93. Executive summary of the IEE will be translated in Hindi and made available at the offices of PMU, PIU, Nagar Parishad offices, and 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 MPUDC, PMU after approval of the IEE by Government and ADB. Stakeholders will also be made aware of grievance register and redress mechanism.

94. 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.

95. 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.

VIII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

96. 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.

97. Purpose of the GRM Manual: 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.

98. 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.

99. Principles: The GRM is based on the following principles and the same shall be used to assess the GRM performance: i. 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, 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. ii. 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. iii. 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. 89 iv. Credibility: The performance of the GRM shall enable affected people to accept and believe that the mechanism works, delivers results and is trustworthy. v. 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. vi. 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.

100. Nature and scope of Grievance Redress Mechanism under MPUSIP. 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.

101. 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 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:

102. Structure of GRM and its Functions. 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.

103. 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.

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 a flexibility to redeployment depending upon the implementation requirements.

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

112. 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.

113. 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.

114. 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.

115. 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.

116. 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, Also Environmental Engineer 100 has been mobilized in PIU – Jabalpur by PMC. Contractor personnel will include an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) supervisor.

B. Environmental Management Plan

117. An environmental management plan (EMP) has been developed to provide mitigation measures to reduce all negative impacts to acceptable levels. 118. 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.

119. 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.

120. 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.

121. 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.

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

E. Monitoring and Reporting

127. During the detailed design stage, DBO Contractor should confirm PMU the mobilization of Environmental Expert for IEE update and integrating design stage EMP into designs.

128. Prior to commencement of the works, the contractor will submit a compliance report to PIU that all identified pre-construction mitigation measures as detailed in the EMP are undertaken. Contractor should confirm EHS supervisor is mobilized and EHS coordinators are designated for each town for effective implementation of the EMU. PMU with the assistance of the PMC will review the report and permit commencement of works.

129. During construction, results from internal monitoring by the contractor will be reflected in their monthly EMP implementation reports to the PIU. PMU will review and advise contractors for corrective actions if necessary. Quarterly report summarizing compliance and corrective measures taken will be prepared by PMC field team at PIU and submitted to PMU (Appendix 18). During operation, the contractor will conduct management and monitoring actions as per the 135

operation stage EMP, and submit to PMU and ULB a quarterly report on EMP implementation and compliance.

130. Based on monthly & quarterly reports and measurements, PMU will submit to ADB, semi- annual (6-monthly) Environmental Monitoring Reports (EMR). Once concurrence from the ADB is received the report will be disclosed on the MPUDC and PMU websites.

131. ADB will review project performance against the MPUSIP commitments as agreed in the legal documents. The extent of ADB’s monitoring and supervision activities will be commensurate with the project’s risks and impacts. Monitoring and supervising of social and environmental safeguards will be integrated into the project performance management system.

F. EMP Implementation Cost

132. Most of the mitigation measures require the contractors to adopt good site practice, which should be part of their normal procedures already, so there are unlikely to be major costs associated with compliance. The costs which are specific to EMP implementation and are not covered elsewhere in the projects are given below. The total costs are estimated at INR 2.56 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

X. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

133. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the New Ramnagar and Amarpatan water supply improvement subproject. All potential impacts were identified in relation to pre-construction, construction, and operation phases. Planning principles and design considerations have been reviewed and incorporated into the site planning and design process wherever possible; thus, environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location were not significant.

134. The project does not involve any creation of new water source, as the water is sourced from an existing dam, a large multipurpose dam and reservoir which was built on Sone River situated in the Ganges Basin in Madhya Pradesh, India for drinking water supply, irrigation and 425 MW of hydroelectric power generation. It has adequate water storage to meet the project demand, in water demand of towns in minute compared to the dam capacity. Under the project, a comprehensive water supply is being developed for Amarpatan town from new source (Bansagar dam) to treatment, and supply of treated water to the consumers via new network and individual service connections in the entire town. In New Ramnagar, the project will fill the gaps in the water supply system left by the ongoing (near completion) water supply project funded by Government and implemented by Public Health Engineering Department of GOMP. The ongoing project is developing a water supply system with Bansagar dam as source, includes all components from intake, treatment to network. However, network under this project covers only one of four water supply zones. Therefore, under the MPUSIP, it is proposed to provide network and water connections in the three uncovered water supply zones.

135. WRD permission for construction of intake wells and for abstraction of water from the dam is under process for Amarpatan town (Refer Appendix 20). Given huge storage and due water allocation, no impacts related to downstream users or the ecosystem anticipated. Aquatic life in the dams is limited to local common species. Water quality is good, except the iron content, which is higher than the standard. Though there will no health-related impacts at these levels (0.5 – 0.6 mg/l, while the standard is 0.3 mg/l), the proposed treatment process has the potential to reduce this iron content to acceptable levels.

136. Project area mostly comprises urban areas of Amarpatan and New Ramnagar. There are no forest areas in the towns. However, there are forest areas between the source and Amarpatan town. Site for the proposed Break Pressure Tank (BPT) and WTP is located in Papra reserved forest on a hill (known as Gorsari Pahad). The raw water rising main from source to WTP is also passes through forest land at three sections for about 5 km out of total 21 km. These sections include: a 4 km stretch along an existing road (Amarpatan – Bansagar dam road) that passes through forest, and 1 km stretch that deviates from the road and passes through the forest land. These forests are open mixed forests with no major tree cover. Three are no trees in the selected sites, there are no trees in the raw water main alignment. Both the BPT and WTP sites are along the road and sites do not have any tree cover. There are no protected / endangered species of flora or fauna. For the pipeline, except during the construction, no impacts envisaged during the operation phase. Various measures are suggested for construction phase to avoid any 139

disturbance in forest area. Prior permission from forest department will be obtained; application has been submitted to the Forest department.

137. In New Ramnagar project includes only distribution network in 3 of the four water supply zones in the town. Other components are being implemented under a government funded project nearing completion. An existing WTP and new WTP will be adequate to meet the demand. As this project is not implemented in anticipation of ADB project nor any rehabilitation or augmentation works proposed in MPUSIP, these components are not considered associated facilities. However, the sustainability of subproject depends on bulk water supply components. Review conducted reveal adequate water but regulatory non-compliance in terms of no consent to operate from MPPCB. This needs to be obtained.

138. Distribution system works in both the towns will be laid along the public roads, either in the earthen shoulder or within the tarmac, where there is no place. There is no notable tree cover, and therefore no tree cutting is envisaged. Intake will be located in Bansagar dam. Measures suggested to avoid construction impacts.

139. During the construction phase, impacts mainly arise from the construction dust and noise, the need to dispose of large quantities of waste soil and import of construction material, and from the disturbance of residents, businesses, traffic and important buildings by the construction work. The social impacts (access disruptions) due to construction activities are unavoidable, as the residential and commercial establishments exist along the roads where pipes will be laid. As intake works are conducted in dams/reservoirs, there is a risk of water contamination, river bed damage, etc. These impacts are temporary and reversible. Appropriate measures are suggested.

140. Anticipated impacts of water supply during operation and maintenance will be related to detection and repair of leaks, pipe bursts. These are, however, likely to be minimal, as proper design and selection of good quality pipe material shall mean that leaks are minimal. Leak repair work will be similar to the pipe-laying work. Appropriate measures to deal with backwash water and sludge from WTP is included in the project design. Application and handling of chlorine gas will involve certain risks, and appropriate measures are suggested for safe application. The DBO Contractor will implement the operation stage EMP during contract period.

141. The public participation processes undertaken during project design ensured stakeholders are engaged during the preparation of the IEE. The planned information disclosure measures and process for carrying out consultation with affected people will facilitate their participation during project implementation.

142. The project’s grievance redress mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform to redress of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.

140

143. The EMP will assist the PMU, PIU, PMC and DBO contractor in mitigating the environmental impacts, and guide them in the environmentally sound execution of the proposed project.

144. A copy of the EMP/approved SEP shall be kept on-site during the construction period at all times. The EMP shall be made binding on all contractors operating on the site, and will be included in the contractual clauses. Non-compliance with, or any deviation from, the conditions set out in this document shall constitute a failure in compliance.

145. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply systems and community livability in New Ramnagar & Amarpatan

146. Therefore, as per ADB SPS, the project is classified as environmental category B and does not require further environmental impact assessment. However, to conform to government guidelines, the project requires (i) permission of WRD, GoMP for water abstraction from Ban Sagar Dam, and for construction of intake, (ii) Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) for WTPs from MPPCB; and (iii) Permission from forest Department for construction of BPT, WTP and Laying of RWRM within forest areas. These permissions/ approvals shall be obtained. Delay in forest permission may hinder entire project as it will affect the most crucial raw water pipeline

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

Appendix 14: Sample Outline Spoils (construction waste) Management Plan

• The spoil management plan should be site specific and be part of the monthly construction management plan. • The contractor, in consultation with the PIU, has to find out appropriate location/s for the disposal of the excess soil generated. the spoils should be deposited only at these sites. • Further precautions need to be taken in case of the contaminated spoils • The vehicle carrying the spoil should be covered properly. • The spoils generating from each site should be removed on the same day or immediately after the work is complete. The site / road should be restored to the original condition. i. Spoils information The spoil information contains the details like a) the type / material, b) potential contamination by that type, c) expected volume (site / component specific), d) spoil classification etc. ii. Spoils management The spoil management section gives the details of a) transportation of spoil b) disposal site details c) precautions taken d) volume of contaminated spoil, if present, d) suggested reuse of disposal of the spoil. iii. Documentation The volume of spoil generated (site specific, date wise), site disposed, reuse / disposal details should be documented properly.

208

Appendix 15: Sample Outline Traffic Management Plan A. Principles for TMP around the Water Pipes Construction Sites

1. One of the prime objectives of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work zone, and to address the following issues: (i) The safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone; (ii) Protection of work crews from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) Mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) Maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and (v) Addressing issues that may delay the project.

B. Operating Policies for TMP

2. The following principles will help promote safe and efficient movement for all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including persons with disabilities) through and around work zones while reasonably protecting workers and equipment. (i) Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance. (ii) Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible. (iii) Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians as they approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone. (iv) Inspect traffic control elements routinely, both day and night, and make modifications when necessary. (v) Pay increased attention to roadside safety in the vicinity of temporary traffic control zones. (vi) Train all persons that select, place, and maintain temporary traffic control devices. (vii) Keep the public well informed. (viii) Make appropriate accommodation for abutting property owners, residents, businesses, emergency services, railroads, commercial vehicles, and transit operations.

3. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates the operating policy for TMP for the construction of water pipes and the sewers along various types of roads.

C. Analyze the impact due to street closure

4. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic should involve the following steps:

(i) Approval from the ULB/Public Works Department (PWD) to use the local streets as detours; (ii) Consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, PWD, etc, regarding the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction; 209

(iii) Determining of the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents; (iv) Determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route; (v) Considering how access will be provided to the worksite; (vi) Contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if there are impacts to their operations; and (vii) Developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion.

5. If full road-closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the Detour Street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends with the construction commencing on Saturday night and ending on Monday morning prior to the morning peak period.

Figure A1: Policy Steps for the TMP

• Review construction schedule and methods Review

Traffic Re- • Identify initial traffic recirculation and control policy Circulation

• Identify routes for traffic diversions Traffic • Analyse adverse impact & mitigation at the detours Diversions

• Begin community consultation for consensus Full Road • Finalise or determine alternate detours Colsures

• Identify temporary parking (on and off -street ) Temporary • Discuss with CMC, owner, community for use parking

• Coordinate with theTraffic Police to enforce traffic and diversions Police Coordination

• Install traffic control devices (traffic cones, sgns, lightings, etc) Install control devices

• Conduct campaigns, publicity, and notify public about street closure Awareness

Develop a mechanism to address public grievances regarding disruptons (traffic, utilities, and diversions) Public • Redress

210

D. Public awareness and notifications

6. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the constructions, as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area, as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the works.

6. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity, which the project will carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through public notices ward level meetings and city level meeting with the elected representatives.

7. The PIU will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues:

(i) Traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.); (ii) Defensive driving behaviour along the work zones; and (iii) Reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions.

8. It may be necessary to conduct the awareness programs/campaigns on road safety during construction.

9. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools and community centers. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the PIU, and the contractor's site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose:

(i) explain why the brochure was prepared, along with a brief description of the project; (ii) advise the public to expect the unexpected; (iii) educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures adopted at the work zones; (iv) educate the public about the safe road user behaviour to emulate at the work zones; (v) tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the work zones (name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and (vi) indicate the office hours of relevant offices.

E. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes 211

10. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and to protect them as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important to install good traffic signs at the work zones. The following traffic control devices are used in work zones:

• Signs • Pavement Markings • Channelizing Devices • Arrow Panels • Warning Lights

11. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place along major roads, and the minor internal roads. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary. The main roads carry considerable traffic; internal roads in the new city areas are wide but in old city roads very narrow and carry considerable traffic. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs, (temporary “STOP” and “GO”).

12. Figure A2 to Figure A6 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the work zone of the area, depending on the location of work on the roadway, and road geometrics:

• Work on shoulder or parking lane • Shoulder or parking lane closed on divided road • Work in Travel lane • Lane closure on road with low volume • Street closure with detour

13. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones.

14. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion result from full street closure in certain areas during construction. Flaggers/ personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during night time.

212

16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to the motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions.

Distribution Network (a) Distribution network in • 82.081 km length 110 – 350 length already laid= 27.10 Km. mm diameter HDPE pipes in Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 will 230

Components Constructed or to be executed Covered in DPR Prepared by by WRD Satna. DBO Contractor under Package 7D

• (b) Work order issued for be laid by MPUDC under laying in length in (year 2016) MPUSIP funded by ADB . =22.674 Km to be laid in • New Ramnagar is divided into Zone 4 (Governing area of 04 Zones i.e. Zone 1, Zone 2, Two Existing OHTs i.e. 4LL Zone 3 Zone 4. Except Zone 4 and 2.5LL) (in which is distribution lines being laid by WRD). The remaining area is considered

in Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3

(governing area of three OHTs 2LL,3LL and 3LL respectively.) will be laid by MPUDC under MPUSIP funded by ADB.

• Location: Along the public roads in three water supply zones (Zone 1, 2 and 3)

• So only Distribution works from these 3 OHTs are proposed in this DPR for 3 zones (Zone 1 to Zone 3 only).

Construction of Approach Road & Cross Drainage

Forest land

❖ The following details are taken from DPR made by WRD. The data of all proposed components of this DPR are checked and compared with ultimate demand of the New Ramnagar town and concluded.

(1) Source: - Source for the water supply project for the town New Ramnagar Distt. Satna has been choosen & finalised as – 'Bansagar Dam' which was constructed on 'SON' River, one of the largest river in India whose length is 784 KM. (W.R.D. D.P.R. Page 8)

Salient features of 'Bansagar Dam' collected from Bansagar Authorities is enclosed. Bansagar Dam is most suitable source for the town New Ramnagar which can supply water without any interruption throughout the year even in ultimate stage i.e. in year 2048.

• Thus there is no need of revision on source.

(2) Intake Point: - (Intake-well cum Pump House) Nearest intake point from the town 'New RamNagar' was selected as Baroundha Ghat. As the maximum water level of the Bansagar Dam is at R.L. 341.64 M, floor level of pump house was proposed as 344.00 M to make approachable even during maximum flood level by the W.R.D.

• Pump House has already been constructed with appropriate approach. Raw water pumps have been lowered and tested also in Dec. 2015.

• Thus there is no need for proposing any other intake point & pump house. (Pump House is OK) 232

(3) Raw Water Puming Units: - As per provision in D.P.R. 3 No. Pumping Units each of 27.22 lps discharge at 80 Mts. head with 70% efficiency one being standby are to be lowered.

Two No. submersible pumping sets 45 H.P. each with 80 mts. head had been lowered and tested in month of December 2015 3rd one being stand by.

(4) Raw-Water Rising Main: - Most economical size of Raw-water rising main for 5.88 M.L.D. Discharge was proposed as 250 M.M. dia D/F D.I. pipe class K-9 in length 360 M. upto B.P. Tank.

As per actual laid 250 M.M. Dia. D/F D.I. pipe class K-9 in length 481 M and tested in the month of Dec. 2015.

As per D.P.R. of W.R.D. for Raw water pumping hours has been kept as 16 Hrs. where as in our D.P.R. pumping hrs. has been kept as 22 Hrs. For ultimate year 2048 & 4.83 MLD capacity (6.098 lps discharge) already laid Raw water rising main i.e. 250 M.M. dia D/F – D.I. Pipe K-9 will fulfill our requirement. • Thus there is no need to change or enhancement of Diameter of Raw water rising main.

(5) Break Pressure Tank: - Existing Ancient Pond having storage capacity of 6000 KL on top of Baroundha hill was proposed in D.P.R. of the W.R.D. as Break Pressure Tank after repairs.

Against of the proposal one no Break Pressure Tank (circular in shape) having storage capacity of 1.25 Lakh lit. at R.L. 393 M. has been constructed on top of hill and tested in the month of November 2015. This B.P. Tank will serve our purpose for ultimate year 2048.

• Thus there is no need of Additional B.P. Tank for the project.

(6) Raw Water Gravity Main: - For ultimate designed flow, 400 M.M. Dia. (G.R.P.) Glass Fibre reinforcement plastic pipe K-9 in length 10,820 Mts. was proposed in D.P.R.

As per provision in D.P.R. 400 M.M. Dia G.R.P. pipe has been laid in length 6000 M. upto July 2016. Balance work of laying and jointing is under progress starting from outlet of B.P. Tank at (R.L. 393 M.) to inlet of proposed raw water channel of water treatment plant (R.L. 375 M.)

As the Raw water gravity main has been designed for 16 Hrs. in D.P.R. of W.R.D. where as in our D.P.R. provision has been kept for 22 Hrs. supplies. 233

For our Project Raw Water Gravity Main (400 M.M. Dia. G.R.P. Pipe K9) will serve the purpose of ultimate year 2048 and ultimate flow of 4.62 M.L.D.

• Thus there is no need of additional Raw Water Gravity Main from B.P. Tank to W.T.P. site.

(7) Water Treatment Plant: - Existing Water Treatment located within the heart of Town has capacity of 2.66 M.L.D. based on 24 Hours working. W.R.D. has prepared the D.P.R. based on 16 Hrs. pumping with Provision for uncounted flow of 15% during conveyance and 25% over loading of water treatment plant has been kept. It is also clarified that the existing working W.T.P. is not based on Bansagar Dam as source. Present working W.T.P. is mainly based on ground source (Tube Wells).

If same W.T.P. is used with surface source i.e. Bansagar Dam with 16 Hrs. working, capacity of existing W.T.P. will reduce to [(2.66 x 16)/24 = 1.77 M.L.D.]. Considering all these factors, W.R.D. has kept provision for construction of additional W.T.P. of capacity 2.15 M.L.D. Thus total capacity will be (2.66+2.15) M.L.D. W.R.D. has issued work order for construction of water treatment plant of capacity 2.15 M.L.D.

As the total ultimate demand of the town in year 2048 will be 4.62 M.L.D. including transmission losses of 15%. As per guideline of U.D.A. Project is to prepared for 22 working hours. Thus combined capacity of existing W.T.P. and new W.T.P. which is under construction. Capacity is calculated as under: -

(A) Existing W.T.P. 2.66 M.L.D. with 24 Hrs. working: - For 22 hrs. working capacity of existing plant shall be reduced. = 2.4383 . × M.L.D. (B) New W.T.P. 2.15 M.L.D. under construction for 16 hrs working. = 2.9562 . × M.L.D.

Thus combined capacity of both water treatment plant will be: -

(A) Existing W.T.P. – 2.4383 M.L.D. (B) New W.T.P. under construction – 2.9562 M.L.D.

Total = 5.3945 M.L.D.

Say = 5.39 M.L.D.

Ultimate demand for the town for ultimate year 2048 – 4.62 M.L.D. 234

Combined additional capacity available shall be – (5.39 - 4.62) M.L.D. = 0.77 M.L.D.

• Hence there is no need of increasing capacity of Water Treatment Plant.

(8) E.S.R. (O.H.T.) :- There are 2 no. existing E.S.R. in the town. For additional 3 no. E.S.R. work order has been issued by the W.R.D. Details are as under:

E.S.R. No. Capacity Staging Remark

Existing (1) 400 KL 12 M - (2) 250 KL 12 M with C.W. Sump Well

Total 650 KL

Proposed, work order (A) 300 KL 20 M Turki Area issued in July 2016 (B) 300 KL 20 M Behind Hospital under execution (C) 200 KL 20 M Tahsil Area

Total 800 KL

Thus total storage capacity will be (existing 650 KL + under execution 800 KL) 1450 KL.

Total capacity of water treatment plant is 4.62 M.L.D. including 15% transmission losses.

A total storage provided in E.S.R. is 1450 KL

Storage in %  100 = 31.385%. 3 × 6 For construction. of × 3 no. E.S.R. work order has been issued by the W.R.D and it is under construction. • Hence Additional storage facility is not needed.

(9) Distribution Net Work: - Survey of the town was conducted earlier before 2010 and estimated as (57.10 Km). Distribution was laid in length 27.10 KM. Thus there was shortage of 30 KM as per earlier survey.

Detailed survey of the town was conducted by DBO Contractor under MPUSIP by MPUDC in year 2016. As per detailed survey total requirement of the town is 130.0 Km. length. Against the requirement in length 130.0 Km. only 27.10 Km. has already been laid by WRD. Remaining (130.0 – 27.10) 102.9 Km. in length need to cover all old and new habitations of the town. 235

Against the requirement of 102.9 Km. Distribution network W.R.D. has issued work order for laying & jointing of Distribution network in length 22.674 Km. dia. varying in diameter 90 M.M., 100 M.M., 125 M.M. & 200 M.M.

Thus remaining Distribution network is to be designed for (102.9 Km. – 22.674 Km.) = 80.23 Km and will be laid by MPUDC under MPUSIP funded by ADB.

In Length Approx.;

(a) Total distribution required -130.0 Km. (b) Distribution network in length already laid by WRD - 27.10 Km. (c) Work order issued by WRD for laying in length in (year 2016) - 22.674 Km

Additional required to be laid in length by MPUDC – (130.0 – 27.10 – 22.674) Km. = 80.23 Km approx.

As per actual survey length of required Distribution network came out to 130.0 Km. Hence to cover the entire rehabilitation area of the town New Ramnagar to provide safe and potable drinking water expansion of Distribution network is essential.

Thus design of 130.00 Km. network, incorporating network already laid in length 27.10 Km. & 22.674 Km. which is being laid under new work order of W.R.D. in July 2016.

• Thus augmentation of the water supply scheme being commissioned by the W.R.D. is most essential to cover the rehabilitated site to provide drinking water to all habitants.

(10) Electrical Sub Station at Head Work Site: - Work of installation of transformers at intake site (Pump House) has been completed. 2 no. 250 KVA Transformer have been installed one being stand by. Work of erection of electrical line from town New RamNagar to intake site at Baroundha Hill along with erection of conductor in length 11 Km. & charging, testing has been completed by the W.R.D. before December 2015.

• Thus there is no need of electrical sub-station at Head Work site hence provision has not kept in this D.P.R.

(11) Construction of Approach Road & Cross Drainage: - Construction of approach road and cross drainage work from town to head work site has been completed by the W.R.D. Deptt. Road in length about 1500 M. also passes through Reserve Forest (R.F.) / P.F.

• Thus there is no need for construction of approach road but provision should be kept for maintenance of road as road is W.B.M. partially surrounding area of approach road comes under submergence of back water of Bansagar Dam. 236

(12) Forest Land: - Components like Head Work Site (Pump House, Break Pressure Tank, Electrical Sub-station, Part of approach Road – 1500 Mts. in length) comes under Reserve Forest. W.R.D. had kept provision for land compensation for involved land area 0.9295 Hectare at rate of 7.5 Lakh / Hectare amounting to Rs. 6.97 Lakh (Ref. D.P.R. Page 18,19).

All said headwork components have been constructed by the W.R.D. in the reserved forest area. • Hence there is no further need of forest land for construction purposes under the Project.

Conclusion and Recommendation:

Only Water distribution works of length 80.23 Km and related components (road restoration, house connection etc.) will be laid by MPUDC under MPUSIP funded by ADB has been prepared by DPR Consultant. Remaining other components are executed or to be executed by WRD, Satna.
