A INTRODUCTION 1. Roads are the main mode of transportation in Chhattisgarh. National highways (NH6, NH16 and NH78) provide good east-west connections with neighbouring states, and NH43 and NH200 provide the main north-south connection between Raipur, Bilaspur and Jagdalpur. However, the remaining roads in Chhattisgarh are mostly in poor conditions, and not passable in the monsoon season. This is especially true for roads in southern and northern Chhattisgarh, where most of the tribal people live. The total road length in Chhattisgarh is about 36,000 km with the road density less than 30 km per 100 km2 against the national average of 100 km per 100 km2. To improve state roads, Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD) in 2002–2003, prepared a 10-Year Master Plan for Road Sector Development (MPRSD) for the years 2003 to 2012. MPRSD aims to (i) promote development of six main road corridors, (ii) remove capacity bottlenecks from the network to better connect rural areas, and (iii) support socioeconomic development by improving road access and connectivity among growth centres. Based on MPRSD, Government of Chhattisgarh prepared and approved a priority investment program for improvement (rehabilitation, strengthening and widening) of about 5,000 km of state roads at an estimated cost of about Rs 105 billion ($2 billion). CGPWD has improved many roads through Government funds and support from funding agencies including 1249 Km roads with the help of ADB.

2. The Government of Chhattisgarh (GoCG) plans to improve the state road network under Chhattisgarh State Roads Sector Development Project (CSRSDP) with the assistance of Asian Development Bank and for that has applied a loan through Government of India from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the improvement of about 916 kms state roads in Chhattisgarh. This road up-gradation and rehabilitation project will improve transport efficiency of the State road network which will contribute to expansion of economic opportunities and poverty reduction.

3. The Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD), Government of Chhattisgarh is the Executing Agency (EA) for the project. The nineteen project roads have been divided into three Groups (Group A, B &C). The Consultancy services have been engaged for advisory and construction supervision, institutional strengthening, social rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental mitigation and road safety measures. The construction supervision consultancy works have been awarded to following agencies 4. This project comprises of widening and strengthening of state highways and major district roads. Under Group B roads, there are 8 packages (Package-1 to 6) of about 273.30km, under Group B roads, there are 8 packages (Package-7 & 8, Package-10 to 15) about 390.36 km and under Group-C roads, there are 4 packages (Packages -16 to 19) comprising of 191.944 km road network.

C. SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION

11. The project activities involve widening of existing roads to 2 – lane carriageway, within available ROW. The Rajnandgaoh Kacheche Road is 77.13 Km long. The road widening activities primarily will comprise of raising the embankment at certain locations and its stabilisation including construction of retaining wall if required especially near water bodies, overlay on the existing carriageway, junction improvement, and construction of minor bridges, culvert and RCC drain in built-up section. 12. The project road section of Rajnandgaon - Kachche Road is part of SH-5 and starts from Km 0.000 on SH-5 (at Union Chowk on NH-6 at Km 340.700) in Rajnandgaon and ends at Km 80.725 on SH-5 (border of Balod district & Kanker district). Total length of the project road was 80.725 Km. However, length from Km 0.000 to Km 1.800 and Km 60.200 & 62.000 has been excluded from the scope. Therefore, widening and up-gradation have been proposed for 77.13 km length. The project road from at three different section such as from (i) Km 1.800 to Km 4.500 at Ranjnandgaon city; (ii) km 35.000 to km 36.600 at Dondi Lohara; and (iii) km 73.100 to km 74.100 at Dondi will be four lane within available RoW. The road traverses through Rajanadgaon district and newly formed Balod district of Chhattisgarh State. Nodal towns on the stretches are Rajnandgoan, Acholi, Lohara, Dalli Rajahara and Dondi towns . 13. During the implementation stage the widening of road was undertaken for 4 lane carriageways instead of 2-lane (as provided in ADB approved IEE report) at three locations. The 4-lane carriageway included 14.0 m wide road with 7 m width of each lane, 1.0 meter median and 1.3 m of drainage on both sides. The hard shoulder varies from 1.6m to 2.5m depending on the available RoW and the works have been completed within the existing RoW.

14. This addendum to ADB-approved IEE report has been prepared due to widening of road to four lanes instead of two lane (provided in scope of work as per approved IEE) at three stretches of Rajnandgaon- Kachhe (SH-5)” Road .

D. APPROACH FOR ADDENDUM PREPRATION

17. The Addendum to ADB-approved IEE report (January 2013) has been prepared based on field visits, carrying out discussion with field staffs and the officials of executing agency (EA) conducted during project implementation stage. The information gathered during site visit has been used to update the Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist (Annexure I), which assisted in screening, categorization of sub-project and anticipating potential impacts on environment due to construction of sub-project E. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT 18. The sub-project is located in district Rajnanadgaon. The descriptions of environment for this district have been captured in Chapter 3.0 (Description of Environment) of ADB approved IEE report prepared in January 2013, which adequately capture the environmental setting in the district and may be referred. The testing of environmental parameters such as ambient air quality, ambient noise levels and water quality have been conducted package wise under the project covered in different environmental monitoring reports. The environmental features along the sections from Km 1.800 to Km 4.500, from Km 35.000 to Km 36.600 and from Km 73.100 to Km 74.100 has been collected from site and given in the table 5. Table 5 - Environmental Features Along the Sections S.

No impact is anticipated on village ponds due to change in scope of work. 5 Environmental sensitive features such No school, college and No impact anticipated as school, college, hospitals hospital are present nearby the sections where the scope of work is changed. However educational institutions and hospitals are present alongside the overall stretch of road. Safety measures are being taken to avoid any hindrance to educational institutions and hospitals as given in EMP 6 Archaeological site, monument, Not involved No impact anticipated cultural heritage and temple

F. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

19. The preparation of this addendum is accordance to specified criteria provided in the Environmental Assessment Review Framework (EARF). These criteria were used for identify in the potential environmental impacts due to the sub-project in ADB-approved IEE report under the Chapter 5. The REA checklist prepared for the sub-project forms the basis for assessment of potential environmental impacts and suggesting mitigation measures

20. No additional environmental impacts are anticipated due to widening of road from 2 lane (as per scope provided in ADB approved IEE report) to 4 lane (Changed scope of work). The change in scope of work does not involve any additional tree cutting, structure damage, impact on water bodies and environmental sensitive area. The upgradation of road is being undertaken within the existing RoW thus no land acquisition is required. Thus, the no additional mitigation measures are suggested

21. The roads under package 8 Rajnandgaon- Kachche (SH-5) Road not pass through any forest land. However, to up-grades the roads tree cutting is inevitable. During implementation stage, a total of

3495 trees of which total 3495 trees may need to be cut in actual within ROW in this Package. The number of trees impacted for upgradation to 4 lane remains same as for 2 lane, as there are no additional trees cutting involved due to change in scope of work. The details of trees required to be cut under package 8 is provided in table 6 and permission obtained from competent authority for package 8 is provided in Annexure VI.

22. The tree cutting required for widening of road to 2 lane road and 4 lane road remained same as no additional tree cutting was required for widening of road to 4 lane. This to clarify that the widening of road to 4 lane is done within the existing RoW and no land acquisition is involved

24. The change in scope of work will not change the environmental category of the project i.e. Category -B as no additional environmental impact is anticipated. Moreover, the widening of road from 2 to 4 lane is within the RoW of existing road. The potential environmental impacts anticipated remains same and are specifically capture in Section 4.0 of ADB-approved IEE report, which is also valid during widening of road to 4 lane.

G. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

25. The ADB-approved IEE report has suggested appropriate measures to mitigate impacts associated with construction activities. An Environmental Management Plan (Annexure III) has been prepared for the project that discusses the anticipated impacts, monitoring requirements, and development of mitigation measures with respect to the following stages: (i) Pre-Construction, (ii) Construction, and (iii) Operation and Maintenance. The environmental management plan was made part of contract agreement for contractor’s mandatory compliance to EMP.

26. The impacts associated with the sub-project are mainly due to activities during construction stage. As no additional environmental impacts are anticipated due to the change in scope of work. Thus, the Environmental Management Plan prepared for the project is adequate to mitigate the impacts due to sub-project.

H. INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

27. Chhattisgarh State Roads Sector Development Project (CSRSDP) has taken up civil works for road up-gradation and rehabilitation, Consultancy services have been engaged for advisory and construction supervision, institutional strengthening, social rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental mitigation and road safety measures.
