5 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. Government of Madhya Pradesh with loan funding from Asian Development Bank (ADB) has proposed to implement Madhya Pradesh Urban Services Improvement Project (MPUSIP), herein after referred as „the Project‟. Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company Limited (MPUDC) shall be the Implementing Agency and the State Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) shall be the executing agency for the Project.

2. The Project components are as follows:

(i) Component 1: Improvements to water supply and sewerage services in identified towns  Continuous, pressurized, safe and sustainable drinking water through private household metered connections to 350,000 households with about 1.7million population resident in sixty-four towns in the State of Madhya Pradesh in Central India; and  Sewage and storm water collection and treatment services proposed initially in two (2) identified towns (Khajuraho and Rajnagar) servicing about 42,000 population resident in 8000 households;

(ii) Component 2: Institutional Strengthening  Capacity Building of implementing agencies (IAs), participating Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and service utilities in contract management and service delivery for ensuring long term sustainability of services;  Setting up of geographic information system (GIS) based water and sanitation asset management and service delivery monitoring; and  Structured behavioral change campaigns to ensure the improvement in public health and cost recovery of service delivery.

(iii) Component 3: Project Management and Administration Support. This component will support the smooth and effective implementation and operation of the Project which includes expert support in Project design and implementation (design, procurement and Contract and Project Management, safeguards etc.), and project administration through Executing and Implementing Agencies.

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

4. The subproject The subproject town Mauganj located in the Rewa district in the South-east part of Madhya Pradesh state. Mauganj is a small town, and population as per 2011 census was 28948. The objective of the proposed improvements in town is to achieve safe and sustainable water services both in terms of services to customers, cost recovery and conservation of precious water resources. The project proposals envisage providing 100% coverage of population with continuous, pressurized and safe drinking water services and achieving progressively increasing cost recovery by expanding the coverage and increasing operating efficiency. This IEE has been prepared for the proposed Mauganj Water Supply subproject which includes: (i). two Weirs (4 m height), one across River Nihayi and second across Odda nala, (ii) intake well of 8.25 MLD capacity on odda nala on u/s side of existing stop dam, (iii) Raw water rising main of 8,140 m length, (iv) water treatment plant (WTP) of 8.30 MLD, (v) clear water sump for 400 KL capacity at WTP, (vi) clear water rising main of 5010 m

length, (vii) OHT of 1800 KL at zone 2, (viii) distribution network of 103.47 km length, and (ix). Bulk flow meters and household connections

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. 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. The subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts because: (i) the water abstraction for the project is very minimal in comparison with the river water flow/availability, (ii) the components will involve straightforward construction and operation, so impacts will be mainly localized; (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; and (iv) being located mainly in an existing built-up area, will not cause direct impact on terrestrial biodiversity values. Potential negative impacts mainly arise from disturbance of residents, businesses, increase in traffic, increase in noise level and dusts, and the need to dispose moderate quantities of waste soil during construction phase and generation of sludge from the WTP during operation and maintenance phase. However, there are well- developed methods for mitigation of these impacts to acceptable levels.

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

8. Description of the Environment. The subproject components are located in Mauganj town and its surroundings. The Weirs will be constructed across the rivers of Nihayi and Odda, and intakes will be located close to the banks on government lands. WTP including clear water sumps will be also located close to the intakes where sufficient government land is available. These facilities are located outside the town, and are mostly surrounded by agricultural lands, and rivers/nallahs. There are no forest areas in the vicinity/ Rest of the components – water tanks, distribution lines, connections etc., will be located within the urban areas. The raw water transmission pipes, connecting intake and WTP, will be essentially outside the town, and clear water transmission pipes, from WTP to distribution reservoirs, will be partly outside and partly within the towns. Project area experience a subtropical climate, typical to north India, hot summers, cold and dry winters and monsoon rains. While there is no natural habitat left within the town areas, the areas near river intakes are comparatively intact though most of the lands there too converted into agricultural use. There are no protected areas, like wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, nor there are any historically, archeologically protected areas in the vicinity. Towns are densely populated in the core/old town areas with narrow lanes, and small and closely built houses, while most of the areas are undeveloped and are still under agricultural use. Commercial areas are along the main roads, which are mostly congested with activities, pedestrians and traffic.

9. 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, (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.

7 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

10. Environmental impacts as being due to the project design or location are not significant. The proposed water supply scheme include design of new water sources with nearest surface water bodies. Considering good water availability and very small demand, it is assessed to be unlikely to have any significant issue of source sustainability. Given that proposed check dam cum weirs are small structures with limited height (4 m from river bed) and submergence confined to river course, the impacts on downstream and ecosystem are likely to be insignificant. Water quality is good and there are no notable pollution sources in the vicinity that could affect the water quality. Although none of the components are located within the forest, conduct of construction works and presence of workers, vehicles may damage /disturb the sensitive areas. Necessary precautionary measures are suggested to avoid any impacts.

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

12. 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 siting 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.

13. The EMP includes design measures such as (i) discontinuation of groundwater source, and shifting to a sustainable surface water source (ii) wash water recovery for the WTP to reduce effluent to be discharged; (iii) beneficial use of treated sludge; and (iv) quick leak detection and rectification to save the resources, etc. During construction, the EMP includes mitigation measures such as (i) selection of appropriate construction methodology and scheduling for intake works in river; (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.

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

8 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

and effectiveness of implementation of the mitigation measures. It will include observations on- and off-site, document checks, and interviews with workers and beneficiaries.

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

16. 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. 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 Environment Department (UDED) of Government of Madhya Pradesh will be the Executing Agency. Implementing Agency will be Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Company (MPUDC), 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). Several teams of Design Consultants, and a Program Management Consultant (PMC) centrally located in PMU and with field teams, will support PMU & PIUs. Infrastructure will be designed, built, and operated (DBO) by contractor for 10 years, after which it will be transferred to the ULB. 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 Environment Specialist of PMC Team. 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 PMC 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 proposed 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 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 following government permission/approvals: (i) permission of Water Resources Department (WRD), GoMP for water abstraction and construction of RPSs/intake; and (ii) consent for establishment and consent for operation for WTP from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. 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 IEE Report

5. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank‟s operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB‟s Safeguards Policy Statement (2009). Accordingly, this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) has been conducted to assess the environmental impacts and provide mitigation and monitoring measures to ensure that there are no significant impacts as a result of the subproject.

6. This IEE is prepared for Package 7A, Mauganj water supply improvement subproject. The subproject includes civil works, project implementation and management, and non-physical investments. A detailed description of the components is provided in Section III. The project area cover Mauganj town which comes under Rewa district. IEE is based on the detailed engineering report prepared by the Consultant team and will be finalized during bidding stage to reflect any changes and latest subproject designs.

7. The environmental impacts of Mauganj water supply subproject have been identified and assessed as part of the planning and design process. An environmental assessment using ADB‟s Rapid Environmental Assessment Checklist for Water Supply was conducted, and results of the assessment show that the subproject is unlikely to cause significant adverse impacts. Thus, this IEE has been prepared in accordance with ADB SPS‟s requirements for environment category B projects.

8. The IEE was based mainly on secondary sources of information and field reconnaissance surveys; no field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

II DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBPROJECT

A. Description of Project Area 10. Mauganj is a Town in Mauganj Mandal in Rewa District in Madhya Pradesh State. It is located at a 65 km distance from the Main City Rewa in District. It is located at 601 km distance from its State Main City Bhopal. Mauganj has a good connectivity with the adjoining areas. Geographically, the city lies at 24° 41' North latitude and 81° 53' East longitude at an altitude of about 312 m above mean sea level in Bagelkhand Region.

Figure 1: Location Map of Sub project Town.

B. Existing Situation 11. The sources of water to Mauganj Nagar Parishad are mainly through Tube wells power pumps with pump house and hand pumps. The major source of water in Mauganj Nagar Parishad is Nihayi River which flows in the north-eastern side of the town. For the filtration of water, town has a filtration plant which is 40 years old. It is 5 kilometer away from the town and in present, it is not working.

Figure 2: (a) Intake well at Nihayi river (b) Nihayi river

13 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

12. The town get majority of water supply directly from these tube wells located in various parts of the town without any treatment. The per capita supply of water is 50 liters per day is estimated under the existing supply system which is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 LPCD. One OHT of capacity 45000 Gallon is located near nagar parishad and it is in use. Second OHT is of capacity 2.7 LL (staging 15 m). It was constructed in year 1983 and it is not in use due to shortage of water.

Figure 3: Water storage facility in Mauganj town

OHT-1 (in use) OHT 2 (Not in use)

EXISTING DISTRIBUTION DETAILS 13. The present water distribution system includes water pipelines system which is not sufficient. The water distribution arrangement includes one OHT in the town. Town gets majority of water supply through the network pipelines laid down in different part of the town. These network lines are linked with main pipelines coming from the ten tube wells (located in various parts of the town). For the storage and supply of water, town has an overhead tank which is situated in ward no. 3. In the town, water pipeline system or network has mainly 100 mm dia. AC pipes. It is 40 Years old and it is filled twice in a day. Ward number 2, 3 and 4 get water supply from overhead tank. The distribution line network in length about 2500 m. is only exists and have leakage problem. Water during summer seasons or in emergencies and other occasions/functions are also supplied through Water Tankers. The per capita supply of water is 50 liters per day is estimated under the existing supply system which is very low as compared to the prevalent national standards of 135 LPCD. Thus, there is huge scarcity of water and the water supply system in the town requires augmentation schemes on top priority basis.

14. Existing system having Intake Well, W.T.P. based on source River Nihai is not in function since 2010. As the flow in River Nihai reduces in the month of February & ceases in the month of March. Existing Deh (water pool) is not capable to meet out requirement of summer season (February to June). Bunding on River Nihai D/S of existing Intake Well at a distance of 150 m from Intake Well was done by the U.L.B. every year. Now this practice has been stopped by U.L.B. This existing system is not in function due to lack of water. Quality of Raw Water is good.

15. Issues In Present Water Supply System  The water distribution system is very old and has leakage problem due to which pressure remain is low.  The distribution system has limited coverage.

14 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

 Pipelines were mainly laid along the major roads, was a major constraint in the distribution of water to the end user in internal areas.  Per capita water supply is low (approx 50 lpcd) against the standard norm of 135 lpcd.  There was lack of technical/skilled man power to handle the system.  15-25% of the water is lost in transmission due to leakage

C. Components of the Subproject

16. Water Demand: The current (2016) gross water demand of Mauganj is estimated as 4.66 MLD, while the base year (2018) and ultimate design year (2048) demands are projected at 54.90 MLD and 8.25 MLD respectively.

SOURCE IDENTIFICATION 17. There are three possible sources identified for the Mauganj Town. One is Nihayi River and the other is Gorma Dam and Oda nala.

(1) Nihayi River: It is passing from the town. Flow ceases during summer season (April-May). At present there is sufficient flow (observation dated 7.11.2015) shown in photograph.

 There are 3 main tributary of River Nihai named Joki nala, Barghat Nala & Gora Nala. Catchment area of River Nihai D/s site of existing intake well is 143.36 Sq. Km.  There is one Deh near intake wells. As per area basin survey dead storage capacity is reported 0.040 MCM in length 1600 m and in depth varying from 0.3 m to 3 m.  As the flow of the river ceases during summer season in May. Hence it is proposed to construct weir at a distance of 150m d/s site of existing intake well which is in left bank of River. To avoid submergence on upstream site of proposed RPS height of RPS cannot be kept more than 4.00 m.  From area basin – survey it is clear that only 0.38 M.C.M. water can be stored which is insufficient even to meet demand of town for intermediate year 2033. Hence this proposed source alone will not fulfill our requirement of the town. It (Nihayi river) is tributary of Oda-Nala. As an additional arrangement, to meet out requirement, water will be drawn from Odda Nala itself D/s of Weir near village Khatkari constructed by W.R.D. Distance From Khatkari to Headwork site (intake well site) is about 8kms.

17 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

(A) Silar River:- Silar River is non-perennial & flows in south-west direction to touching boundary of the town. Flow of river ceases in mid of month March. Silar River has catchment area of 134.886 Sq. Km. Silar is also tributary of Oda-Nala. (Topo Sheet 63 H.) Silar cannot be considered as source of the town.

(B) Oda Nala: - Oda nala starts from hilly area (near to village Sitapur). Oda Nala is non-perennial. It crosses NH-7 near village Dagduwa which is about 8 Km. from Mauganj.

 There are two major tributary of Oda Nala named River Nihayi & River Silar. Silar meets Oda before of River Nihayi. Oda forms a fall at village Bahuti named as BAHUTI-FALLS. Falls depth is 465‟ (141.70 M.)Cumulative catchment area of all above mentioned sources (Nihayi, Silar, Oda) are under at village Khatkari.

River Catchment Area (1) Nihayi 150.860 Sq. Km. (From D.P.R. of P.H.E. & Totpo sheet) (2) Silar 134.886 Sq. Km. (From Topo Sheet 63 H.) (3) Oda 179.848 Sq. Km. (From Topo Sheet 63 H.)

 Combined Catchment area of Oda Nala at Village Khatkari = 465.594 Sq. Km. River Nihayi joins Oda Nala near Village Chamarhar no. 6 about 1 Km. from Paikan Tola of village Chamarhar. This junction is called as TIN-MOHAD.

Figure 5: Junction where River Nihayi Joins Odda Naala

 W.R.D. has constructed a RPS at village Khatkari on Oda Nala in year 2015. Length of RPS is 60 m & height is 2 m. During rainy season of year 2015 (July to October-2015) due to this RPS there is huge storage of water in upstream site of Oda Nala, in river Nihayi & Silar. Ultimate demand for year 2048 is 8.25 MLD. As the flow ceases in the month of February. Hence storage for the period (February to June) 5 months is required. Considering storage for 180 days. Storage required is as under.

8.25 MLD = 8.25 X106 lit/Day = 8250 cum/day For 180 days = 180 X 8250 cum = 14, 85,000 Considering evaporation & absorption as 50% of total cum = (1485000) X0.5 = 742500 Total Quantity = 14856000 + 742500 = 2227500 cum = 2.2275 MCM

(2) Gorma Dam: Gorma Dam owned by W.R.D. is located at a distance of 24 km from Mauganj PWD rest house. Due to less rainfall in the district, storage of water is insufficient. Due to long distance and O&M point of view, Gorma Dam may not be proposed as source of the town. Silent feature of Gorma Dam is as under.

Catchment area: - 140.64 Sq. Km. Length: - 3710 M. Height: - 23.02 M. D.B.L.: - 327 M. M.W.L.:- 326 M. L.S.L.:- 316 M. Total storage capacity:- 39.20 M.C.M. Live-storage:- 36.08 M.C.M. (1274.455 Mc. ft.) Dead Storage:- 03.12 M.C.M. (110.02 Mc. Ft.) Command area:- 91.15 Sq. Km. Modernization of the dam was done in year 2008. As the dam was constructed for the Irrigation Purpose is quite old. Moreover, storage capacity has reduced due to silting. Looking the storage capacity, distance from Mauganj town and Main route of Raw/Clear Water Rising Main from dam Site to town shall be a critical problem in future. Hence Gorma Dam cannot be considered as source for the Town Mauganj.

Figure 6: Location of proposed components on Google map

Hence Nihayi River and Odda Nala are proposed as source for the town.

18. It is proposed to develop a water supply based on Odda Nallah and Nihai River as source for Mauganj Town. This system consists of raw water abstraction from Odda Nallah and Nihai river, transmission, treatment, storage and distribution to consumers . Table 1 shows the nature and size of the various components of the subproject.

III POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK

A. ADB Policy

20. 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.

21. 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.

22. 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.

23. 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

24. 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 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.

26 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

25. 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 3.

Table 3: Applicable Environmental Regulations Law Description Requirement

Madhya Prepared in accordance with the National Permission of WRD, GoMP: Pradesh State Water Policy, it states that “for environmental Water Policy, balance, skillful and planned management of  Water abstraction from Nihai 2003 all types of developmental activities, economic & Odda Rivers and use on equitable basis and in view of the prime construction of RPS & Intake importance of water for all human and other well living beings, an effective and sound water policy is necessary”.

26. ADB SPS Requirements. During the design, construction, and operation of the project the PMU and PIUs are required to apply pollution prevention and control technologies and practices consistent with international good practice, as reflected in internationally recognized standards such as the World Bank Group‟s Environment, Health and Safety Guidelines. These standards contain performance levels and measures that are normally acceptable and applicable to projects. When Government of India regulations differ from

28 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

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:

IV DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT (BASELINE DATA)

A. Methodology Used for Baseline Study

27. Data collection and stakeholder consultations: Data for this study has been primarily collected through comprehensive literature survey, discussion with stakeholder agencies, and field visits to the proposed subproject sites. 28. The literature survey broadly covered the following: i. Project details, reports, maps, and other documents prepared by DPR consultant ii. Discussions with Technical experts, municipal authorities, relevant government agencies like WRD etc. iii. Secondary data from previous project reports and published articles, and iv. Literature on land use, soil, geology, hydrology, climate, socioeconomic profiles, and other planning documents collected from Government agencies and websites. 29. Several visits to the project sites were made during IEE preparation period in 2016 to assess the existing environment (physical, biological, and socioeconomic) and gather information with regard to the proposed sites and scale of the proposed project. A separate socioeconomic study was conducted to determine the demographic information, existing service levels, stakeholder needs and priorities.

V ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

48. 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.

49. 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.

50. 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).

51. 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.

52. 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.

53. 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 public rights-of-way and existing roads hence, land acquisition and encroachment on private property will not occur.

37 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

A. Pre-Construction Impacts – Design & Location

54. Design of the Proposed Components. Technical design of the (i) intake facilities, including stop dams, (ii) water treatment plant; (iii) raw water and clear water mains, (iv) storage reservoirs, 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) Limiting the height of barrage/dam across rivers to create river ponding structure within the river course, to avoid additional submergence (iii) Recovering backwash water from treatment process (iv) Treatment and reuse of sludge from treatment process (v) Minimizing water losses from pipelines by perfect jointing and alignments using appropriate techniques (HDPE pipes up to 150 mm dia joined by electro fusion couplers using on-site electro fusion welding, and all higher dia pipes by on site butt welding) (vi) Designing the entire system to maintain optimal flow and terminal pressure, and optimising the overall energy usage (vii) Reducing the incidence of water borne diseases by providing 100% population including urban poor with potable water supplies (viii) 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 (ix) 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 (x) Using low-noise and energy efficient pumping systems

Alternative Water Source Analysis:

55. The Project water demand for the ultimate year 2048 has been estimated as 8.25 MLD. There are three possible sources identified for the Mauganj Town: Nihayi River, Gorma Dam and Oda nala.

(1) Nihayi River: It is passing from the town. There are 3 main tributaries of River Nihai named Joki nala, Barghat Nala & Gora Nala. This is the existing source. Catchment area of River Nihai D/s site of existing intake well is 143.36 Sq. Km. River is non- perennial and the flow is very high during monsoon, but reduces considerably from the month of February, and completely ceases in March, and up to the arrival of monsoon in mid to late June. Due to this the existing intake is non-operation for half of the year.

(2) Silar River:- Silar River is non-perennial & flows in south-west direction to touching boundary of the town. Flow of river ceases in mid of month March. Silar River has catchment area of 134.886 Sq. Km. Silar is also tributary of Oda-Nala. Silar cannot be considered as source of the town.

(3) Oda Nala: - Oda nala starts from hilly area (near to village Sitapur). Oda Nala is non- perennial. It crosses NH-7 near village Dagduwa which is about 8 Km. from Mauganj. There are two stop dams on Oda Nala downstream of Junction of River Nihai & Oda Nala known as TIN MOHAD. (1) Karahi Weir (Left Bank – Karahi Village and on the right bank – Village Khatkari) and (2) Sumeda Weir. Sumeda weir is on downstream

38 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

side of Karahi Weir at a distance of about 4.5 Km. Both the stop dams have been constructed by the W.R.D. in the year 2015. There are two major tributary of Oda Nala named River Nihayi & River Silar. Silar meets Oda before of River Nihayi. Oda forms a fall at village Bahuti named as BAHUTI FALLS and with a depth of 465 feet (141.70 m) it is the highest water fall in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Oda flows down further and joins Bihad River, which in turn is a tributary of Tons River.

56. Water availability. There are no flow gauging stations on any of these rivers, and therefore no flow records available. Discussion with the WRD and municipal staff managing water supply, and the local people, indicate that all the rivers are seasonal, and flow for about 7-8 months a year, with very high flows during monsoon. Rivers almost run dry during the months of March – May. The flow record available for the year 1969, January to April indicate a negligible flow (range of 0.0014 – 0.0102 cumec (cubic meter per second), which is much less than the demand of 0.1167 cumec (2.97 MCM per year or 8.4 MLD with 20 hour pumping from river intake).

57. Although the above 3 are separate rivers, but are all interconnected, and forms part of Oda nala network, which in turn is a tributary of Bihad River. Nihai, and Silar feed into Oda, and in addition, Oda has its separate catchment. Cumulative catchment area of all above mentioned sources (Nihayi, Silar, Oda) at village Khatkari is given below. Combined Catchment area of Oda Nala at Village Khatkari is 465.594 sq km. River Nihayi joins Oda Nala near Village Chamarhar. This junction is called as TIN-MOHAD.

o Nihayi 150.860 Sq. Km. (From D.P.R. of P.H.E. & Topo sheet) o Silar 134.886 Sq. Km. (From Topo Sheet 63 H.) o Oda 179.848 Sq. Km. (From Topo Sheet 63 H.)

58. With an average of 900- 1000 m annual rainfall, the above catchment can generate significant quantities of runoff every year. The flow is considerable during the monsoon and post monsoon period of June-December/January, and therefore will be able to meet the demand. As the flow started to reduce from February, and up to the next monsoon season, raw water storage is required to meet the demand of this lean flow season. Hence it is proposed to create a storage in the river by constructing a small stop dam across the river. The period for storage has been taken from January to June i.e. Six Month (180) days, and the storage requirement is estimated as 1.485 MCM.

Requirement of water for 180 days i.e. = 180 * 8.25 ML 1st January to 30th June (6 months) = 1485 ML = 1.485 MCM

59. It is proposed to construct a weir across River Nihai, on the downstream side of the existing intake to create a river ponding structure. It is also considered that the dam height should be as low as possible so that the submergence is limited to the river course, and it is found that there shall be no any submergence when the height of Weir(stop dam) is kept at 4 m at proposed site on River Nihai. On the basis of area basin survey, it is estimated that this dam will have a storage capacity of 0.38 MCM, which can meet only 25% of the above lean period demand, and will be sufficient for about 45 days only. Therefore additional storage is required to meet the rest of the demand.

39 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

60. It is therefore proposed to construction another Weir (stop dam) across Odda Nala. WRD already construction 2 stop dams on Odda nala, on the downstream of its junction with Nihai. With a dam height of 1.5 m, both the WRD dams have created a storage of about 0.48 MCM each in Oda Nala. It is proposed to construction a dam with a height of 4 m, which will ensure that the submergence is limited to river course, and will also be adequate to meet the rest of the demand. This dam will be constructed on Oda nala, downstream of its confluence with Nihai and Silar rivers, but upstream of existing WRD stop dams. Bahut Wall will be 10 km downstream of the proposed dam location.

61. As pointed out all the dams are interlinked. (Line diagram of Rivers, Nala map showing their Junction, flow, direction – existing stop dam & proposed stop dam has been shown in the below.

Figure 12: Odda River Network and Existing & Proposed Dams

40 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

62. Source water sustainability and environmental considerations. In Mauganj, water is proposed to be sourced from the nearest river and Nallah, Nihai and Odda, respectively. Water will be abstracted from a gravel packed well, to be constructed in the river bed that will convey water to the intake well at the bank of the river. To ensure water availability during the no-flow period, weirs are proposed.

63. These are small dams, with a height of just 4 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining the submergence to river course itself. This will ensure adequate water availability to meet the demand of no-flow period. Dam will consists of 2.5 solid structure (built in RCC) and 1.5 m curry shutters. During the monsoon high flows shutters will be open to allow free flow over 2.5 m RCC dam. Given very small storage, dam will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to this small dam will be negligible on downstream users and river eco system. The proposed impoundment, in fact, is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagating aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative impacts thus envisaged.

64. Weir across River Nihai: - After construction of stop dam, surplus water will flow and shall meet with Oda Nala as it is tributary of Oda at TIN MOHAD and shall feed to Oda Nala. There are no notable water abstraction points on the downstream side of proposed stop dam site on River Nihai. Both the sides of the river is covered with agriculture lands. There is no any forest in this reach. As the river is seasonal, and the proposed dam is very small and therefore there will be no significant change in the downstream flow regime. No impacts on river ecology anticipated. River flows downstream and joins Oda nala, which again carries considerable flow, therefore impact of flow reduction will be negligible.

65. Weir across Oda Nala: -There are two existing stop dams known (Karahi Weir & Sumeda Weir) of WRD on the downstream of the proposed dam site on Odda nala. Oda Nala forms Bahuti Falls of 465ft. (141.70 m) at Bahuti village about 10 km downstream of proposed dam site. Both the sides of Oda Nala are covered with agricultural lands. Deep hilly valley starts from Bahuti fall. There is forest on both side of valley after the fall. After this fall (Oda) this is known as Nahala Nala, which finally, meets with River Belan (Uttar Pradesh). There is no any adverse effect on downstream users as they will get water for irrigation purpose as per provision kept by the W.R.D. As the water will flow freely once the dam is full (and the dam will get full with first monsoon flow itself given very small storage), there will not be any impact on both the downstream dams of WRD. Also impact on Bahut water falls or its related tourism is anticipated as the proposed dam will not change the flow regime considerably, given the limited height and small storage. Water falls is seasonal, and attractive mostly during the monsoon flows of July to December.

66. Water quality. Existing water quality of Nihai and Odda is good, and is suitable for domestic supply after conventional treatment and disinfection. There are no notable pollution sources in the vicinity. Therefore no impacts envisaged.

67. Use of Chlorine as disinfectant. It is proposed to use chlorine at WTP to disinfect the water prior to supply to consumers. There is invariably a safety risk when chlorine is handled. Although facilities are not located close to habitations, safety precautions are necessary to

41 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

ensure the safety of workers and citizens. To avoid any risk, chlorination facility will be provided with following safety provisions:

o Chlorine neutralization pit with a lime slurry feeder o Proper ventilation, lighting, entry and exit facilities o Facility for isolation in the event of major chlorine leakage o Personal protection and safety equipment for the operators in the chlorine plant o Provide training to the staff in safe handling and application of chlorine; this shall be included in the contract of Chlorinator supplier o 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

68. Similarly proposed works in the river bed (for dam and intake) may damage the river bed, lead to degradation of water quality due to increase in turbidity and contamination from fuels and lubricant used in construction work. Increase in silt content and water turbidity, chemical quality can affect the aquatic life. Measures are included in the EMP to avoid, minimize these impacts Removal of trees and vegetation will be minimize by best alignment and layout planning of facilities, however, this cannot be avoided fully. Appropriate measures in terms of compensatory tree plantation is included in the EMP.

69. 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 be required to implement appropriate measures. These are given in the EMP.

70. 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.,

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

C. Construction Impacts

72. 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

42 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

and vehicles (mainly 2-wheelers), while the roads in outer areas are wide.

73. 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 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.

74. Other civil works in the subproject include construction of stop dam across river Oda and Nihai, intake cum pump house on the river bank including a gravel packed wells in the river that will connect to intake well, raw water pumping station including laying of water intake pipes, water treatment plant, water tanks (ground level / overhead), pumping station 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.

75. Although construction of these project components involves quite simple techniques of civil work, the invasive nature of excavation and the project locations in the built-up areas of the 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. These anticipated impacts are temporary.

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

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

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

78. 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,

43 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

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

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

79. Construction of dam in the river 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: o 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 o 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 dam authorities on release of water; avoid scheduling the works during water release period. o Erect temporary barriers to form enclosed construction area with least disturbance o 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 o Avoid/minimize use of fuels, chemicals and lubricants; ensure no spillage

80. 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:

o Prepare and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan o Stockpiles, lubricants, fuels, and other materials should be located away from steep slopes and water bodies; o Avoid stockpiling any excess spoils. Excess excavated soils should be dispose to approved designated areas; o Domestic solid wastes should be properly segregated in biodegradable and non-

44 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

biodegradable for collection and disposal to designated solid waste disposal site; o Residual and hazardous wastes such as oils, fuels, and lubricants shall be disposed in disposal sites approved by local authorities; o Prohibit burning of construction and domestic waste; o Ensure that wastes are not haphazardly dumped within the project site and adjacent areas. o Get approval of PIU in writing that the necessary environmental restoration work has been adequately performed before acceptance of work.

81. Noise and Vibration Levels. Except water intake and WTP, all the construction works will be conducted at selected sites and along the roads in Mauganj 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:

o 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; o Horns should not be used unless it is necessary to warn other road users or animals of the vehicle‟s approach; o Minimize noise from construction equipment by using vehicle silencers, fitting jackhammers with noise-reducing mufflers, and use portable street barriers to minimise sound impact to surrounding sensitive receptor; and o Maintain maximum sound levels not exceeding 80 decibels (dBA) when measured at a distance of 10 m or more from the vehicle/s. o Identify any buildings at risk from vibration damage and avoiding any use of pneumatic drills or heavy vehicles in the vicinity;

82. 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 Mauganj 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.

83. 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:

o 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

45 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

congested areas – immediately removed from site/ or brought to the as and when required o Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; o Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; o Plan transportation routes so that heavy vehicles do not use narrow local roads, except in the immediate vicinity of delivery sites; o Schedule transport and hauling activities during non-peak hours; o Locate entry and exit points in areas where there is low potential for traffic congestion; o Keep the site free from all unnecessary obstructions; o Drive vehicles in a considerate manner; o 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 o Notify affected public by public information notices, providing sign boards informing nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. 84. 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:

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

85. 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:

o Leave spaces for access between mounds of soil; o Provide walkways and metal sheets where required to maintain access across for people and vehicles; o Increase workforce in the areas with predominantly institutions, place of worship, business establishment, hospitals, and schools; o Consult businesses and institutions regarding operating hours and factoring this in work schedules; and o Provide sign boards for pedestrians to inform nature and duration of construction works and contact numbers for concerns/complaints. o Notify community/ water users in advance about likely interruptions in water supply. o Provide alternate sources of clean water until water supply is restored.

86. Socio-Economic – Employment. Manpower will be required during the 24-months construction stage. This can result in generation of temporary employment and increase in

46 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

local revenue. Thus potential impact is positive and long-term. The construction contractor will be required to:

o Employ at least 50% of the labour force, or to the maximum extent; and

87. 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:

o Comply with all national, state and local labour laws (see Appendix 9); o Develop and implement site-specific occupational health and safety (OH&S) Plan which will include measures such as: (a) excluding public from the site; (b) 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; o Ensure that qualified first-aid is provided at all times. Equipped first-aid stations shall be easily accessible throughout the site; o Provide medical insurance coverage for workers; o Secure all installations from unauthorized intrusion and accident risks; o Provide supplies of potable drinking water; o Provide clean eating areas where workers are not exposed to hazardous or noxious substances; o Provide H&S orientation training to all new workers to ensure that they are apprised of the basic site rules of work at the site, personal protective protection, and preventing injuring to fellow workers; o 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; o Ensure the visibility of workers through their use of high visibility vests when working in or walking through heavy equipment operating areas; o Ensure moving equipment is outfitted with audible back-up alarms; o 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

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

47 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

public as appropriate; and o 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.

88. 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.

89. 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:

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

90. 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:

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

91. 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:

o The site shall be selected preferably from barren, infertile lands. In case

48 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

agricultural land needs to be selected, top-soil stripping, stacking and preservation should be undertaken prior to initiation of any activities. o Debris disposal site shall be at least 200 m away from surface water bodies2. o No residential areas shall be located within 100 m downwind side of the site. o The site is minimum 250 m. away from sensitive locations like hospitals, religious places, ponds/lakes or other water bodies. o The local governing body and community shall be consulted while selecting the site.

D. Operation and Maintenance Impacts

92. 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.

93. 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.

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

E. Project benefits

95. 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.

96. The citizens of Mauganj will be the major beneficiaries of the improved water supply system,

2 In the absence of site meeting the stipulated criteria, an alternate site can be selected specifying the reasons. In such a case, the construction camp management plan should incorporate additional measures specific to the site as suggested by the Construction Manager.

49 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

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.

VI. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION

A. Overview

97. 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 is a must as per the ADB policy.

98. 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 Mauganj PWD, WRD and Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. Secondary stakeholder are: NGOs and CBOs working in the area, community representatives, beneficiary community in general, government agencies, the executing and implementing agencies (MPUDC, ULB and PIUs), Government of India and the ADB.

B. Public Consultation

99. 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

100. Institutional consultations were conducted with the Governmental Departments such as PMU, Pollution Control Board, Public Health Engineering Department, Water Resourced Department, and ULB. The project proposal is formulated in consultation with Mauganj Nagar Parishad and suits the requirements of the ULBs.

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

102. It was observed that people are willing to extend their cooperation as the proposed activities are proposed to enhance the infrastructure service levels and the living standard of the public.

50 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

2. Consultation during construction

103. 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 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.

104. 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

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

106. 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.

107. 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.

VII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM

A. Project Specific Grievance Redress Mechanism

108. A program-specific grievance redress mechanism (GRM) shall be established to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of AP‟s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. The following GRM provides a time-bound and transparent mechanism to voice and resolve social and environmental concerns linked to the project.

109. A common GRM will be in place for social, environmental, or any other grievances related to the project. The GRM will provide an accessible and trusted platform for receiving and facilitating resolution of affected persons‟ grievances related to the program. The multi- tier GRM for the project is outlined below, each tier having time- bound schedules and with responsible persons identified to address grievances and seek appropriate persons‟ advice at each stage, as required. ULB-wide public awareness campaigns will ensure that awareness on grievance redress procedures is generated through the campaign.

110. Who can complain: A complaint may be brought by persons who are, or could be, “directly, indirectly, materially, and adversely” affected by the project. A complaint can be submitted on behalf of the affected person/people by a representative, provided that he or she identifies the affected person/people and includes evidence of the authority to act on their behalf.

111. What the Grievance/Complain should contain: Any concerns pertaining to safeguard compliance - environment, involuntary resettlement, indigenous people, design related issues, compensation, service delivery or any other issues or concerns related to the project. The complaint must contain name, date, address/contact details of the complainant, location of the problem area, along with the problem.

112. Where to file a Complaint: Complainants will have the flexibility of conveying grievances/suggestions by dropping grievance redress/suggestion forms in complaints/suggestion boxes to be installed by project at Mauganj Nagar Parishad offices, PIU offices or by e-mail or by writing in a complaints register in the PIU offices or at construction site offices.

113. How to file a Complaint: The application should be precise and specific. The application can be sent either by post or through electronic means or deliver personally. A sample grievance form is at Appendix 13.

(i) Offline System - The application can be made on the application form available at all accessible places (NPs/ Office of PIUs/ construction site offices). The application should have the name and complete postal address of the applicant.

(ii) Online System - Grievances pertaining to the implementation of the project can also be filed online at the website of MPUDC/PMU or by e-mails.

114. Documentation: Documentation of the complaints is important and must contain name of the complainant, date of receipt of the complaint, address/contact details of the person, location of the problem area, and how the problem was resolved. PMU with the support of PIU will have the overall responsibility for timely grievance redress, and for registration of grievances, related disclosure, and communication with the aggrieved party. All the documents made available to the public at the 52 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

community level (at ward offices) and will include information on the contact number, address and contact person for registering grievances, and will be disseminated throughout the project area by the PIU.

115. Grievance/Problem Redress through Participatory Process: Efforts must be made by the PIU with the support of safeguard consultants to resolve problems amicably, conflicts through participatory process with the community and the Nagar Parishads. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, the Contractor, and supervision personnel from the PIU will provide the most easily accessible or first level of contact for the quick resolution of grievances. Contact phone numbers and names of the concerned staff and contractors, will be posted at all construction sites at visible locations.

116. Following process will be followed:

(i) 1st level grievance. In case of grievances that are immediate and urgent in the perception of the complainant, PMC supervising staff will direct the contractor to and ensures that it is resolved. If the grievance is not under the contractor scope, but under the program, PMC (field office) will resolve this issue. All the grievances should be resolved within 3 days of receipt of a complaint/grievance.

(ii) 2nd level grievance. All grievances that cannot be redressed at first level within 3 days will be brought to the notice of PIU and PMC Assistant Environmental Specialist. PIU will review the grievance and act appropriately to resolve it within 10 days of receipt.

(iii) 3rd level grievance. All the grievances that are not addressed at 2nd level by PIU within in 10 days of receipt will be brought to the notice of notice of the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC)3. GRC will meet twice a month and determine the merit of each grievance brought to the committee. The GRC will resolve the grievance within 1 month of receiving the complaint. All decisions taken by the GRC will be communicated to complainant by the Nodal Officer.

117. The project GRM notwithstanding, an aggrieved person shall have access to the country's legal system at any stage, and accessing the country's legal system can run parallel to accessing the GRM and is not dependent on the negative outcome of the GRM. Alternatively, if the grievance is related to land acquisition, resettlement & rehabilitation4, the APs can approach the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Authority (LARRA) of Madhya Pradesh, established under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act, 2013.

118. Record-keeping. PIU will keep records of grievances received, corrective actions taken and the final outcome. The number of grievances recorded and resolved and the outcomes will be displayed/disclosed in the PIU office, ULB offices, and on the web.

IX ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Implementation Arrangements

119. Urban Development and Environment Department (UDED) 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.

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

121. 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.

122. 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.

123. 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.

124. Safeguards. At PMU, there will be two safeguard specialists: (i) Project Officer (Environment) and (ii) Social & Gender Offer, 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.

B. Environmental Management Plan

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

126. 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) 54 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

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.

127. 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.

128. 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.

129. 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.

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

F. EMP Implementation Cost

140. 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 1.66 million, which are to be covered by contractor costs.

X CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

141. The process described in this document has assessed the environmental impacts of all elements of the Mauganj 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.

142. There are two important location and design aspects. First, the proposed water supply schemes include design of new water sources, that include construction of 2 weirs on Odda nallah and Nihai river. Secondly both the weirs are located in a small stretch of 8-9 km distance, and Nihai river is a tributary of Odda Nallah.

143. No flow data available for these river and nallah as they are not gauged by WRD. Considering the low water requirement of town with very high flows during monsoon, (as gathered from local information), it is assessed to be unlikely to have any issue of source sustainability. To cater to the low and no-flow period (~6 months),two small stop dams are proposed, one across Nihai river, and second across Oda Nala. These are small dams, with a height of just 4 m above the river bed level (same as depth of river banks), thus confining the submergence to river course itself. Storage is small and therefor the dam will be filled at the first monsoon flow itself, and the water coming from the upstream will overflow freely. Therefore the change in flow regime due to these small dams will be negligible on downstream users and on river eco system. The proposed impoundment in fact is likely to benefit the environment through groundwater recharge and propagation of aquatic life. Water quality is suitable for drinking water after conventional treatment and disinfection, and there are no notable pollution sources. No negative impacts thus envisaged.

144. 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 some of the works are conducted in rive, there is a risk of water contamination, river bed damage, etc.. Appropriate measures are suggested.

145. 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.

146. 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.

147. The project‟s grievance redress mechanism will provide the citizens with a platform to redress

80 Initial Environmental Examination- Mauganj Water Supply Scheme

of their grievances, and describes the informal and formal channels, time frame, and mechanisms for resolving complaints about environmental performance.

148. 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.

149. 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.

150. The project will benefit the general public by contributing to the long-term improvement of water supply systems and community livability in Jaithari, Khand and Chandia .

151. 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 and for construction of RPSs and intakes and (iii) Consent for Establishment (CFE) and Consent for Operation (CFO) for WTPs from MPPCB. These permissions/approvals shall be obtained.

152. 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.
