I. INTRODUCTION

A. Overview

1. This document is the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for the construction of the new Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai, 220 kilovolt (kV) double circuit transmission line and forms Subproject No. 20 under Tranche–1 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) Power Transmission Enhancement Investment Program (the Program). This IEE presents the results and conclusions of environmental assessment for the proposed construction of Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai Transmission Line (TXL) Subproject and is submitted by the Government of Pakistan (the Government), Ministry of Water and Power and National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC). The Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject is to be considered for early construction under the Program and requires environmental assessment under ADB operating procedures. An IEE has been carried out to fulfill the requirements of ADB Guidelines (May 20031 2). This IEE study report is used to complete the Summary SIEE, the sub project along with the Rohri to Gumbat Transmission Line sub project are being shifted from Tranche 3 of the MFF to Tranche 1 and as part of the request to ADB for this reallocation of sub projects a SIEE (Dated May 2009) has been prepared and submitted to ADB .3 Figure 1 presents the location of the substation.

1 Initial project classification was carried out in 2008 and the Category is B. Most of the construction impacts will take place with only local impacts and there are no potential significant environmental impacts associated with the Tranche 3 Subproject construction. Initial environmental reconnaissance and Rapid Environmental Assessment carried out by consultants under ADB guidelines in March 2008 indicated that all the Tranche 3 Subprojects will be Category “B”. 2 ADB. 2003. Environmental Assessment Guidelines. Manila. 3 Category A projects that are deemed by ADB's chief compliance officer to be environmentally sensitive for the purposes of (i) the 120 day rule, and (ii) the environmental management plan requirement could involve projects that are near or in environmentally sensitive areas. At this stage, no component of the Tranche 1 Subprojects under consideration is actually within a critical area and therefore the MFF as a whole is Category “B”.

Figure 1: Location of the Sub Station

2. The total cost of the Loralai Subproject is estimated at US$ 70.00 million. ADB will fund the design, civil works and procurement of equipment.

3. The Project involves the construction of TXL over land at Dera Ghazi Khan District of Punjab and Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai districts of Baluchistan. Detailed designs are currently being progressed. Land will be not acquired for the TXL as only compensation for crop and trees damages will be paid.

4. The environmental assessment requirements of the Government for power transmission projects are different to those of ADB. The environmental regulations of the Government categorize development projects into two schedules according to their anticipated potential environmental impact. The proponents of projects that have more adverse environmental impacts (Schedule II) are required to submit an environmental impact assessment (EIA). The policy is ambiguous and needs clarification. The consultants have initiated a dialogue with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Islamabad for review of the policy. EPA Islamabad has agreed to open discussions with provincial EPAs and other stakeholders to revise the schedules, so that study requirements are not related to voltage or length of facilities being proposed to be added, but are related to impacts. A review of the need for EIA/IEE submission is therefore required by the relevant environmental protection authority, in this case both the Punjab Environmental Protection Department and Baluchistan EPA.

B. Background

5. The condition of the power transmission system in Pakistan is inadequate to meet rapidly growing demand for electrical power. This situation limits national development and economic growth. To cope with the constraints, the existing power transmission infrastructure has to be improved and upgraded. The overall contribution of power infrastructure also requires

2 institutional arrangements and capacity that support strategic management of the sector, and planning and management of investments. Overall, the Program has been designed to address both investment and institutional aspects in the electrical power sector.

6. The Tranche–1 Subprojects involve the addition of new facilities, which requires damages to be paid for crop damages. Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject is in the group of projects that involve construction of new TXLs. Impacts from the Subproject are potentially significant, although not insurmountable, although no land will be needed to be acquired for the TXL. The design for Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject is sufficiently complete (March 2008) to permit initial environmental examination (Cat “B”). The designs for the Tranche–1 Subprojects have been developed under the ADB Loan No. 2178-PAK: Infrastructure Development. The Subproject, originally a part of tranche 3, is being shifted to Tranche-1 so as to utilize the unspent amount allocated to Tranche 1.

7. The Government has requested the ADB to provide financing for the Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject to cover the construction of 220 kV of double circuit 220 kV TXL to help fulfill the overall objective of the MFF to encourage economic growth and improve transmission efficiency by creating a series of national improvements. The improved transmission efficiency will contribute to expansion of economic opportunities by improving capacity and efficiency and security of supply in the Baluchistan Province of Pakistan.

8. At the time of writing this report, (March 2008) the route for the TXL has been surveyed and tower spotting carried out, the preliminary detailed designs for the TXL are completed and the overall requirements for the expansion have been clearly identified (Figures 1 and 2). This IEE has been conducted based on those assumptions as of March 2008. The line route has been selected, by NTDC, with the purpose of minimizing impacts upon population and assets. The route chosen is the shortest that can avoid existing villages and farmhouses.

C. Scope of the IEE Study and Personnel

9. The Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject includes construction of 245 km double circuit 220 kV TXL. This IEE study has included field reconnaissance of the TXL right of way (ROW) area with surveys taking place in March and April 2008. Figure 2 presents the TXL ROW area. 3

Figure 2: Transmission Line ROW area

10. The Study Area included the line corridor including all irrigation facilities, water supply, habitable structures, schools, health facilities, hospitals, religious places and sites of heritage or archaeological importance and critical areas and other infrastructures like railway lines, roads, etc.

11. Critical Areas4 if any within about 100 meters (m) of the TXL route also need to be studied. The works will involve construction of the TXL only as substations are not a part of this subproject.

12. The field studies were undertaken by a core study team with experience of environmental assessment for power projects in Pakistan. Mrs. Syeda Bushra Waheed conducted preliminary scoping, survey and assessment activities and coordinated the field sampling and analysis. Mrs. Waheed was also responsible to supervise collection of information and coordinate the various public consultation activities. International environmental consultants (IEC) provided leadership and guidance with regard to the essential detailed assessments of design, construction, operational and decommissioning impacts, noise, air quality and waste disposal. The environmental team also benefited from technical support and other important information on the impacts of the proposed power works provided in feasibility summaries prepared for NTDC, and by expert consultants BPI dealing with engineering, power transmission, socio-economic, resettlement and institutional aspects.

13. The study process began with scoping and field reconnaissance during which a Rapid Environmental Assessment was carried out to establish the potential impacts and categorization of enhancement activities. The environmental impacts and concerns requiring further study in the environmental assessment were then identified. The methodology of the IEE study was then

4 Critical areas as published by the PEPA on the website put in specific reference

4 elaborated in order to address all interests. Subsequently, both primary and secondary baseline environmental data was collected from the enhancement works and the intensity and likely location of impacts were identified with relation the sensitive receivers; based on the work expected to be carried out. The significance of impacts from the power transmission expansion work was then assessed and, for those impacts requiring mitigation, measures were proposed to reduce impacts to within acceptable limits.

14. Public Consultation was carried out on 18-21 March 2008 and 15-22 April 2008 in line with ADB guidelines (footnote 2). Under ADB requirements, the environmental assessment process must also include meaningful public consultation during the completion of the draft IEE. In this IEE, the public consultation process included verbal disclosure of the subproject works as a vehicle for discussion. Interviews were conducted with local families and communities along the TXL ROW area and transmission line alignment. Written records of the responses have been submitted to the Project Proponent, NTDC. The responses from correspondents have been included in Appendix 5 and summarized in Section VI of this IEE.

D. Policy and Statutory Requirements in Pakistan

15. Direct legislation on environmental protection is contained in several statutes, namely the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act (1997) the Forest Act (1927) the Baluchistan Wildlife Act (1976), Baluchistan Irrigation and Drainage Act, Balochistan Canal & Drainage Ordinance passed in 1980. In addition, the Land Acquisition Act (1894) also provides powers in respect of land acquisition for public purposes. The Baluchistan Wildlife Act (1976) is applicable throughout the province. On the other hand, the Forest Act and the Forest Regulation extend only to certain districts. The Forest Act is applicable in Kalat, Khuzdar, Awaran, Lasbela, Mastung, Gwadar, Panjgur, Kech, Kharan, Bolan, Jaffarabad, Nasirabad and Jhal Magsi Districts. The Forest Regulations (1890) apply to Quetta, Changai, Pishin, Qila Abdullah, Qila Saifullah, Zhob, Sibi, Ziarat, Loralai, Musakhel, Kohlu, Dera Bugti and Barkhan districts. There are also several other items of legislation and regulations which have an indirect bearing on the project or general environmental measures. Where GOP has not set a standard or guideline criterion the standards given in World Banks publication Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook are used as criteria. World Band criterion is also used in parallel to GoP criteria

1. Statutory Framework

16. The Constitution of Pakistan distributes legislative powers between the federal and the provincial governments through two ‘lists’ attached to the Constitution as Schedules. The Federal List covers the subjects over which the federal government has exclusive legislative power, while the Concurrent List contains subjects regarding which both the federal and provincial governments can enact laws. “Environmental pollution and ecology” is included in the concurrent list. Hence, both the federal and the provincial governments can enact laws on this subject. However, to date, only the federal government has enacted laws on environment, and the provincial environmental institutions derive their power from the federal law. The Punjab Environmental Protection Act 1997 is now redundant. The key environmental laws are discussed below. 5

2. Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997

17. The Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997 (PEPAct) is the basic legislative tool empowering the government to frame regulations for the protection of the environment. The act is applicable to a wide range of issues and extends to air, water, soil, marine, and noise pollution, as well as to the handling of hazardous wastes. The key features of the law that have a direct bearing on the proposed project relate to the requirement for an IEE and EIA for development projects. Section 12(1) requires that: “No proponent of a project shall commence construction or operation unless he has filed with the Federal Agency an IEE or, where the project is likely to cause an adverse environmental effect, an EIA, and has obtained from the Federal Agency approval in respect thereof.” The Pakistan EPA has delegated the power of review and approval of environmental assessments to the provincial environmental protection agencies.

3. Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency Review of IEE and EIA Regulations, 2000

18. The PEPAct provides for two types of environmental assessments: IEE and EIA. EIAs are carried out for projects that have a potentially ‘significant’ environmental impact, whereas IEEs are conducted for relatively smaller projects with a relatively less significant impact. The Pakistan EPA Review of IEE and EIA Regulations, 20005 (the ‘Regulations’), prepared by the Pak-EPA under the powers conferred upon it by the PEPAct, categorizes projects for IEE and EIA. Schedules I and II, attached to the Regulations, list the projects that require IEE and EIA, respectively.

19. The Regulations also provide the necessary details on the preparation, submission, and review of IEEs and EIAs. The following is a brief step-wise description of the approval process: (i) A project is categorized as requiring an IEE or EIA using the two schedules attached to the Regulations. (ii) An EIA or IEE is conducted as per the requirement and following the Pak-EPA guidelines. (iii) The EIA or IEE is submitted to the concerned EPA—provincial EPAs if the project is located in the provinces or the Pak-EPA if it is located in Islamabad. (iv) A fee, depending on the cost of the project and the type of the report, is submitted along with the document. (v) The submittal is also accompanied by an application in the format prescribed in Schedule IV of the Regulations. (vi) The EPA conducts a preliminary scrutiny and replies within 10 days of the submittal of a report, a) confirming completeness, or b) asking for additional information, if needed, or c) returning the report requiring additional studies, if necessary. (vii) The EPA is required to make every effort to complete the IEE and EIA review process within 45 and 90 days, respectively, of the issue of confirmation of completeness. (viii) When the EPAs accord their approval subject to certain conditions: a. Before commencing construction of the project, the proponent is required to submit an undertaking accepting the conditions.

b. Before commencing operation of the project, the proponent is required to obtain from the EPA a written confirmation of compliance with the approval conditions and requirements of the IEE. (ix) An environmental management plan (EMP) is to be submitted with a request for obtaining confirmation of compliance. (x) The EPAs are required to issue confirmation of compliance within 15 days of the receipt of request and complete documentation. (xi) The EIA approval is valid for 3 years from the date of accord. (xii) A monitoring report is to be submitted to the EPA after completion of construction, followed by annual monitoring reports during operation. 20. TXLs and grid substations above 11 kV are included under energy projects in Schedule II, under which rules EIA is required by the Government for all projects involving transmission lines of 11 kV and above and for grid substations. IEE is required for TXLs less than 11 kV and large distribution projects (Schedule I). A review of the need for EIA/IEE submission is therefore required by the relevant environmental protection authority in this case the Punjab EPA. As the proposed project will be located in Punjab, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Punjab EPA.

21. There are no formal provisions for the environmental assessment of expanding existing TXLs and grid substations but Punjab and Baluchistan EPA (PEPA-QEPA) have requested disclosure of the scope and extent of each Subproject in order that the Director General of PEPA/QEPA can determine if additional land is required and the need for statutory environmental assessment (footnote 1). The details of this Subproject have been forwarded to the Punjab EPA (October 2006) in order to commence the local statutory environmental assessment process.

4. National Environmental Quality Standards

22. The National Environmental Quality Standards were first promulgated in 1993 and have been amended in 1995 and 2000. The following standards are specified therein: (i) Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (32 parameters) in municipal and liquid industrial effluents discharged to inland waters, sewage treatment facilities, and the sea (three separate sets of numbers); (ii) Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (16 parameters) in gaseous emissions from industrial sources; (iii) For power plant operating on oil or coal: (a) Maximum allowable emission of sulfur dioxide from the power plant (b) Maximum allowable increment (concentration) sulfur dioxide in ambient air due to operation of the plant (iv) Maximum allowable concentration of nitrogen oxides in ambient air when the plant is operating (v) Maximum allowable emission of nitrogen oxide for steam generators as a function of heat input (vi) Maximum allowable concentration of pollutants (2 parameters) in gaseous emissions from vehicle exhaust and noise emission from vehicles.

5. Other Relevant Laws

23. There are a number of other federal and provincial laws that are important in the context of environmental management. The important laws are listed below. 7

(i) The Baluchistan Wildlife Protection Ordinance, 1972 empowers the government to declare certain areas reserved for the protection of wildlife and control activities within in these areas. It also provides protection to endangered species of wildlife. As no activities are planned in these areas, no provision of this law is applicable to the proposed project. (ii) The Forestry Act, 1927 empowers the government to declare certain areas reserved forest. As no reserved forest exists in the vicinity of the proposed project, the provisions of this law are not applicable to the proposed project. (iii) The Antiquities Act of 1975 ensures the protection of Pakistan’s cultural resources. The Act defines ‘antiquities’ as ancient products of human activity, historical sites, or sites of anthropological or cultural interest, national monuments, etc. The Act is designed to protect these antiquities from destruction, theft, negligence, unlawful excavation, trade, and export. The law prohibits new construction in the proximity of a protected antiquity and empowers the Government of Pakistan to prohibit excavation in any area that may contain articles of archaeological significance. Under the Act, the project proponents are obligated to: (a) Ensure that no activity is undertaken in the proximity of a protected antiquity (b) Report to the Department of Archaeology, Government of Pakistan, any archaeological discovery made during the course of the project. No protected or unprotected antiquity was identified in the vicinity of the proposed project that may be affected by the project.

E. Structure of Report

24. This report reviews information on existing environmental attributes of the Study Area. Geological, hydrological and ecological features, air quality, noise, water quality, soils, social and economic aspects and cultural resources are included. The report predicts the probable impacts on the environment due to the proposed project enhancement and expansion. This IEE also proposes various environmental management measures. Details of all background environmental quality, environmental impact / pollutant generating activities, pollution sources, pollution control equipment, predicted environmental quality and related aspects have been provided in this report. References are presented as footnotes throughout the text. Following this introduction the report follows ADB guidelines and includes: (i) Description of the Project (ii) Description of Environmental and Social Conditions (iii) Assessment of Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures (iv) Environmental Monitoring Plan (v) Public Consultation (vi) Recommendations and Conclusions

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

A. Type of Project

25. The new Loralai 220 kV transmission line Subproject is an extension of the New Dera Ghazi Khan 500 kV grid station to the New Loralai 220 kV grid station (Subproject Nos. 5 and 6, respectively, of Tranche 2), to provide the north-eastern part of Baluchistan province with another means of extra high-tension (220 kV) power supply. It includes the construction of a new 245.01 km long 220kV double circuit transmission line, traversing four districts, i.e. Dera Ghazi Khan district in the Punjab province (62.5 km); and the remaining 182.5 km in three districts of Baluchistan province (42.8 km in Barkhan, 24.0 km in Musa Khel and 115.4 km in Loralai district). The alignment of this new 220 kV double circuit transmission line has deliberately been designed to traverse mostly the unproductive hilly to rough lands, to avoid the villages and Almond orchards. As a result, only about 10.43 km (4.26%) of its length will traverse private farmlands, including fruit and wood trees / orchards and wheat-cum-maize farmlands with scattered wood trees belonging to a total of 126 farming households from 21 villages. The alignment of this new 220 kV double circuit transmission line is along the Dera Ghazi Khan – Loralai road, almost parallel to the existing 132 kV transmission line from Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai. Figure 3 presents the route of the proposed transmission line.

Figure 3: Route of the proposed transmission Line

B. Categorization of the Project

26. The construction works are generally expected to take place within approximately 10 m around the TXL, depending on local requirements. At this stage, the methods to construct the TXL are presumed to take the usual pattern. 9

27. The construction of the TXL is within a barren, uncultivated and some private cultivated land. The land in Dera Ghazi Khan is rangeland which is plain with good enough soil cover and land with heavy content of limestone being used at present by crushing industries while the land in other districts of the Subproject area is mostly barren and hilly and some cultivated land. The potential environmentally significant features will be limited but they will not affect significantly any crops on agriculture cultivated land, green field sites because the route selected for TXL is mostly barren with some growth of grasses in small patches whereupon animals are grazed. Besides grasses, no bushes, some trees or a few built-up structures are found in Dera Ghazi Khan-Loralai Route. Some villages are situated on outer fringes of the TXL corridor. No built–up structures except few houses of these villages will be affected which will be compensated. Angle towers are used to avoid the impact on built–up structures or gardens. The village access road leading to TXL will also remain intact, and not affected by the Subproject.

28. Categorization is based on the most environmentally sensitive component and the Subproject and TXL is categorized as a Category ‘B’ subproject under ADB requirements and this IEE report is based on that assumption.

29. The aspects of the project with potential for significant environmental impacts need to be assessed in detail and environmental assessment has therefore focused on significant impacts from the construction aspects as well as consultation with the public all along the proposed alignment of the transmission line. This report has also surveyed the transmission line corridor and immediate hinterland that may be affected by knock on effects from impacts such as waste disposal.

C. Need for the Project

30. The condition of the power transmission system in Pakistan is inadequate to meet rapidly growing demand for electrical power. This situation limits national development and economic growth. To cope with the constraints, the existing power transmission infrastructure has to be improved and upgraded. The overall contribution of power infrastructure also requires institutional arrangements and capacity that support strategic management of the sector, and planning and management of investments. Overall the proposed PTE-MFF facility has been designed to address both investment and institutional aspects in the electrical power sector. Pakistan has a wide network of power transmission.

31. The new 220 kV sub-station has been proposed at Loralai. Load flow studies have been carried out for the peak load conditions of August and September 2010 with a new 220 kV grid station and two 250 MVA 220/132 kV transformers commissioned at Loralai, and a new 220 kV transmission line connected between Dera Ghazi Khan-Loralai. In general, the studies show that with the commissioning of Loralai 220 kV grid station, the transmission lines and transformers will operate within both load and voltage limits. The sub projects (transmission line and substation) will stabilize the northern Baluchistan system which at present is unstable and prone to frequent interruptions.

32. The feasibility study for the Subproject was prepared by consultants under Loan TA- 2168 has demonstrated the need for the proposed improvements based on electricity demand and network studies and that significant benefits can accrue in the form of reduced load on transformers and reduction in transmission line losses. Thus there is a clear and immediate future need for this Subproject.

10

D. Location and Scale of Project

33. The new 220 kV Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL has been proposed at Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musa Khel and Loralai Districts in Punjab and Balochistan. The Subproject will involve the construction of new 220 kV TXL from proposed Dera Ghazi Khan 500 kV Grid Substation to the proposed 220 kV Loralai Grid Substation.

34. In aligning the design aims to site it on barren land. As such, the accessibility will not be a problem. There are roads (20 m), tracks and katcha (unpaved/dirt tracks) ways and the contractor should have to develop a few tracks for transporting the materials. The contractor is likely to be needed to transport the materials manually at tower locations on mountainous areas. This should result in very little if any damage to the vegetation or disruption to the population in the vicinity of the TXL. The TXL site is approachable through a number of major or minor metalled roads and village tracks. Almost all the village tracks are linked to the metalled roads and are thus accessible to vehicles. In any event care will be taken that the disruption to the vegetation is kept to a minimum.

35. The environmental impacts are likely to be localized along the TXL ROW construction site at most places and impacts are reviewed in the environmental impact section of the report. The impacts will need to be reviewed and amended if necessary if the locations change and when the detailed designs are available.

E. Alternatives

36. The Tranche-1 (T1) of projects will contribute to the improvement of the overall performance of the power transmission sector, improving transmission efficiency, broadly widening access to power to drive economic opportunities. The beneficiaries of the Project will be people, companies, and government and non-government agencies in Pakistan that use power transmission services. Power users will benefit in terms of secure power and improved power safety and potentially increased productivity.

37. Do nothing scenario: Predictions have indicated that, without T1 power transmission Subproject, supply will not be as reliable as with the project in purely power transmission terms based on the available information. The project is part of an overall strategic improvement to the system.

38. In absence of the Subproject, the potential for interruptions to power supply will increase and socio-economic development of the provinces could be affected in the short to medium term. In an un-enhanced state the potential for interruptions to supply and increased wear and tear on equipment will increase. In the short term the power program would improve and provide more reliable access to secure power.

39. Alternative construction methods: The feasibility and constructability of the transmission line towers is well established locally and the construction of TXL and installation of equipment is well practiced in the international context (even if some types of equipment are new Pakistan). The process basically includes the transportation of equipment to site and the assembly of pre-fabricated units in-situ. Thus the impacts from construction per se are very manageable from the environmental viewpoint.

40. Alternative geometry: The ROW for 220 kV Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL is selected on mainly barren state land in Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai and some 11 private cultivated land in these Districts. It does not include any urban and rural settlements. Although the line design has been finalized and approved, some further detailed surveys may be carried out at construction stage and some changes may occur. The extent of land acquisition is presently anticipated to be minimal and additional land will not be required for TXL on barren or private land. The consultants are informed that all Dera Ghazi Khan–Loralai 220 kV TXL S.P. works are to be completed within ROW of TXL corridor and no land acquisition for the TXL is required. The present assumption is that the construction of TXL will be completed as planned on the defined alignment.

F. Proposed Schedule for Implementation

41. The Project Proponent (NTDC) plans to have the T1 completed by mid to late 2013. The details for the implementation of the Subprojects are in development. There will be no land acquisition however crop, trees and orchards will be paid for the damages of crops and trees through compensation process but detailed plans extension must be made. Design’s TXL arrangements, access, review of environmental management and construction processes will need to be completed in say about three months. When the detailed designs are completed, tendering and award of contract will take place over about three to six months. The construction period will follow and best estimates indicate about 18 months to 2 years. The preliminary schedule is presented in Appendix 5.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

A. Project Area

1. General Characteristics of Project Area 42. The Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai 220 kV transmission line will cross over barren uncultivated land and some cultivated land in Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai Districts up to Grid Substation site at Purana Bawar Killy on Loralai Ziarat road, 2 km south of town. 43. There are houses including residential, other social infrastructure and other transmission lines that are located within 100m of the proposed TXL corridor. No infrastructure like canal, railway line, river or minor is within the line route. However, the line crosses over some wide streams (nullahs), water flows, paved roads and 11kV transmission lines. The TXL is not immediately adjacent to any residential or school property based on the land details provided by NTDC.

44. There is plenty of room available in the selected land to support the Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai 220kV TXL on the unproductive state and private land and some productive private land. Provisions have been made in the land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP) to compensate the cost of damaged crops and trees. Access to the TXL will be from metalled and katcha (unpaved/dirt tracks) roads adjacent to the TXL site. The access to the TXL Subproject will be from the Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai road. There should be no need to disturb any existing roads and watercourses, based on the current land required, this however is subject to reconfirmation after detailed designs are completed.

2. Affected Administrative Units

45. The Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai 220 kV Subproject will indirectly affect only a few villages of Dera Ghazi Khan, (Punjab), Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai, Districts of province of Baluchistan. There is a Police Camping area at more than 300 m away from the TXL..The villages directly affected by the line , by Province and Districts is as follows:

46. For the purpose of this study the Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject has been assumed to affect all the adjacent villages and interviews have been conducted with the public along the TXL route. 13

B. Physical Resources

1. Topography, Geography, Geology, and Soils

47. Dera Ghazi Khan District is divided into two parts. The mountainous area is in the west and the plain in the east. The western half of the district is covered by the hills of the Sulaiman Mountains. Most of these hills are seen in the tribal area known commonly as the De-Excluded area. The hills are higher in the north where they rise to peak as high as 3,000 m above the sea level. In addition to main range, there are two smaller chains parallel to each other between the main range and the plain in the east. The height of these ranges gradually decreases southwards. The high peaks towards the centre of the district are Ekbhai (2,274 m), Fort Munro (1,916 m) and Dragul (1,640 m). The mountains are formed of sandstone with occasional outcrops of limestone. These are barren except some of the higher summits in the north of district.

48. The plain area of the district can be subdivided into three natural tracks, namely, the piedmont area, canal and river areas; The well irrigated canal-plain area forms the intermediate zone between the piedmont and the river area. The latter area lies close to the Indus River where the cultivation depends on the flooding rather than irrigation from canal

49. The topography of the Dera Ghazi Khan district is dominated by the mountains and hills of the Sulaiman range which runs mostly in a north–south direction in the eastern portion of the district. The off–shoots of the Sulaiman range run, across the district, in a northeast southwest direction. From east to west the mountains ranges are the Phulali, the Sukha Daula, the Jandaran and the Karwadda. The elevation of the mountains varies from 1,000 to 2,000 m. Phulali and Sukha Daula ranges cover the eastern portion while Jandran range, is in the western portion of the district, along the boundary with Kohlu district. Mar, Anadari and Pikal ranges cover the southern portion of the district. In between the mountain ranges are the valleys. Seasonal rivers, streams and nullahs flow in these valleys.

50. The topography of Barkhan is dominated by the mountains and hills of the Sulaiman range. The terrain is rugged and divided into basins by ranges from 900 to 3000 m above sea level. The highest peak in the district is 3,109 m above sea level. There are a series of plains in between the parallel ranges. There are several other important ranges the Spara or Sohar range runs from north to south on the eastern border of the district. The Surghar range extends from north–east to southwest of the western border of the district.

51. The Torghar, Shinghar and Morga ranges are in the upper north. The Nathaghar and Lakhighar ranges are in the southern portion of the district. The Bujgar, Sputoghar, Dhaulighar and Galaisar are on the south–east. Land along Razanni River, from Palosi Punga in the north upto Musakhel town in the south, is a fertile plain. There are also several river valleys. The Ispangla valley is situated in the eastern portion of the district. Limestone, shale and sand stone are the main types of rocks involved in the formation of the area.

52. The topography of Musakhel is dominated by the mountain and hills, varying in elevation from about 900 to 3,000 m. The highest mountains are in the northwest along the border with Ziarat, Pishin and Qila Saifullah districts. The direction of the mountain ranges, in the western half of the district, is mostly from west to east while that in the eastern half, from northwest to southwest. In the western part, the main ranges are the Shoreghar, Nagarghar, Murdarghar, Ghulamghar, Saraighar, Dabbarghar, Landaghar, Pitaoghar and Damanghar. In the part of the

14 district, the important mountain ranges are Sebatghar, Mandghar, Gadabarghar, Spinkaighar, Dadarghar and Torghar.

53. In between the mountain ranges of Loralai, there are fertile valleys. In the northern part of the district lies the Bori valley, which runs east to west and is bounded on the north by the Damanghar range and other ridges and on the south by Kurghar range. It continues westward up to the Murdarghar. The Murdarghar forms the southwest corner of the Thal or Karachi plain. The Chamalang valley is situated in the southeastern part of Duki subdivision. It gets water from the Chamalang Rud and other smaller streams flown from Dodarghar in the north and Kharlakghar in the south.

2. Climate and Hydrology

54. There is large variation of altitude above sea level in the land along the alignment. The big change in altitude in the districts and long length of the line means variation between the climates of the project area. The climate of the districts varies with the elevation, but on the whole it is dry and healthy. The summer is cool and pleasant but the winter is intensely cold with hard frost and snowfall.

55. The climate of Dera Ghazi Khan is typical of Southern Punjab. The maximum temperature of the district in summer reaches 42oC. In winter, the minimum is 4.5oC. The mean maximum and minimum temperatures in summer for this period are 40.6oC and 27.2oC, respectively, and in winter 22.3oC and 5.9oC, respectively. At Fort Munro, which is a hill station, the day temperature indoor rarely rises over 27oC. In the remaining Subproject area, Barkhan, Musakhel, Loralai districts, the maximum temperature in summer reaches 38oC. In winter, the minimum is 4oC. The mean maximum temperature is 29oC mean minimum annual temperatures is 15oC, 4oC. The summer season starts from April and continues until October. May, June and July are the hottest months. The winter season on the other hand starts from November and continues until March. December, January and February are the coldest months. The summer season starts from April and continues until October. May, June and July are the hottest months. The winter season on the other hand starts from November and continues till March, December, January and February are the coldest months.

56. The rainy season starts in July and ends in September. Annual rainfall varies from 167 millimeters (mm) in Dera Ghazi Khan, to 398 mm in other districts of the Subproject area. More rains occur in July and August than any other months. Most of the winter rains are received in the months of March and April.

3. Groundwater and Water Supply 57. Irrigation is largely dependent on the canals, but tube wells have also been sunk in the areas where water is fit for irrigation. The chemical quality of groundwater in the Dera Ghazi Khan varies area wise and depth wise. According to the Feasibility study conducted in 2003 for the Water and Power Development Authority, Water quality data of hand pump at mouza Chohata pajahda indicates ph 7.75, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) .46, Cations meg/l 7.50, Anions mg/l 7.40, Ca mg/l 1.90, Mg mg/l 3.00, Na mg/l 2.28, HCO3 mg/l 4.70, chlorides mg/l mg/l 2.20, electric conductivity mmohs/cm at 25oC 717 D.S. by evaporation ־Sulphates ,0.50 part per million (ppm) 444. According to Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR), 2005 data, ground water quality in Dera Ghazi Khan was: ph 7.7-8, Total dissolved salt (TDS) 230-240 mg/L, Hardness 140-152 mg/L, chlorides 17-20 mg/L, Iron 0.2-0.9 mg/L, 15

58. The precipitation in the Subproject area (Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai) is inadequate only partly compensated for by the winter rains and snow. The overall rainfall pattern has proved sufficient for the recharging of underground aquifers and water table and thus keep the tube wells going. Almost 83% of the cultivated area is irrigated from the water from tube wells, 7% is canal fed and 5% each from water from Karezes (man made water extraction system that does not involve use of pumping) and spring and dug wells. Only 149,246 hectares (ha) out of the total area 993,300 has is under cultivation.

59. Irrigation is largely dependent on tube wells which have been in the areas where water is fit for irrigation. The tube wells have been installed to make up the deficiencies. The water table is at 80 m and water is drinkable. Groundwater sources exist in the area and there are tube wells within 500 m of the proposed TXL. Only 19% and 16 % housing units use piped water inside their houses and 81% and 84% of housing units have this facility outside their houses in Barkhan & Musakhel. The facility of drinking water inside the houses available to 54% of the housing units while 46% of the housing units use outside sources as drinking water in Loralai. The local population in most of the TXL area is generally reliant on supply from wells. Purana

16

Bawar Killi village has its own independent water supply through a tube well. Besides this supply, there is Pathankot spring with sufficient water (about equal to eight tube wells). Water from this spring is used for cropping and Army Cantt located at 1 km from the proposed Grid Substation site. There should be no impact on these sources of water during the construction.

4. Surface water

60. In Dera Ghazi Khan, the River Indus which lies on the east begins to rise in May when melting snow from the Himalayas commences and gradually fills its bed to a breadth of 14 kilometers (km). It continues to gain height till the end of August and then begins to subside, reaching its cold weather level at the end of September. Two large nullahs (streams) rising far to the west to east through narrow and tremendous gorges. The most northerly, the Vihowa, emerges from those into Dera Ismail Khan District, but its flood water reaches the villages in the north of Sangarh. The Sangarh emerges near the village of Mangrotha at the centre of the western boundary of Taunsa Tehsil. Water quality of Indus at D.G Khan , 2004 data from PCRWR is as follows : ph 7.1- 7.5 ; TDS 154-305 mg/L ; Faecal coli form 140-390 / 100 mL ; Chlorides 6-90 mg/L dissolved oxygen 1.5-6.9 mg/L ; nitrates 4.2 – 10 mg/L . 61. Rakhni stream runs northeast along the eastern boundary of Barkhan District and receives the water of a number of effluents from the west of which the principal the Chung, Churi and Padhi. It irrigates Raknil and Chach areas of Barkhan District. The Han stream runs in a southwest direction and carries the drainage of Hanpass and southeastern slopes of Tandran range. At Dhamani, the stream becomes perennial up to its Junction with Kah River in Dera Ghazi Khan. Daula stream, its tributary brings water from the hills situated to the south Bagh Valley and irrigates a number of villages in Barkhan Valley and joins Han in Vitahari Rakni and Han join Kah stream which then passes in Dera Ghazi Khan, Bala Dhaha stream lies in Berg– Sham Mauza of Barkhan Tehsil, the stream is a tributary of Nachari River, it irrigates a very small area of Mauza Berg Sham then water passes to Duki tehsil. Water in this stream comes down from southwestern slopes of hills located north of Hanpass.

62. The main rivers and streams which drain the Musakhel are Razanni Loe, Lahar, Lori, Tang, Kingri and Sarin. The general flow of the rivers and streams is from west to east. During the monsoon, these streams are flooded resulting in widespread losses of livestock and property.

63. The drainage of western and central portion of the Loralai District is provided by the Ambar River and its tributaries while the eastern drainage bursts through the Sulaiman range into the Indus Valley. The principal tributaries of the Anambar are the Kohan and Loralai streams. The Narochi River which rise north–east of the Chamalang valley with its tributary Baldehaka is next in importance. The Thal and Beji Rivers irrigate parts of Duki and Thal plains.

64. Irrigation. The major source of irrigation in Dera Ghazi Khan is canals while in other districts of the Subproject area, sources of irrigation are tube wells, karezes, springs, canals and wells. Musakhel is irrigated by 12 streams and seven springs with permanent flow, which irrigate 35% of the area. The remaining is khushkaba or sailaba (land depending upon rainfall). Other significant sources of irrigation are tube wells and open surface wells. The kareze and spring are mostly community owned, whereas tube wells and open surface wells are privately owned. A comprehensive system based on the extent of landholdings exists for the distribution of water from community owned sources. The system also caters for the repair and maintenance of water channels.

17

65. The cost of which is again apportioned on the above principle. On the other hand however, the growing number of tube wells is tending to disrupt the delicate balance between recharge and exploitation of groundwater resources. It is extremely vital that the cycle (recharge / use) be made sustainable for long-term irrigation prospects. The construction, recently of the Kohar delay action dam would go some way in this direction, but there is a crying need for building many more such dams if the long term irrigation prospects are not to be jeopardized. The nearest Nadi (flood water streams) or floodwater hill torrent, which is non-perennial, is located at about 1 km from the Grid Substation site.

5. Air Quality

66. Air quality in the Subproject area appears good based on observation during the study period. Domestic sources of air pollution, such as emissions from wood and kerosene burning stoves as well as small diesel standby generators in some households, are well dissipated. There are no other industrial pollution sources at present in the vicinity.

67. The other major source of air pollution is dust arising from construction and other ground or soil disturbance. Near the access roads, when vehicles pass, dust levels will increase. The nearby road is paved but dust levels are elevated when vehicles pass intermittently over the roads based on field observations and may be high enough to obscure vision significantly based on observations in April 2008.

6. Noise and Vibration

68. Noise from vehicles and other powered mechanical equipment is intermittent. There are also the occasional calls to prayer from the Public Address systems at the local mosques but there are no significant disturbances to the quiet rural setting. However, the construction from the proposed power expansion will use powered mechanical equipment. Subjective observations were made of background noise and also of individual vehicles which pass by. Based on professional experience background daytime noise levels are probably well below 55dB(A)L90.

C. Ecological Resources

1. Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquatic Biology

69. There are no areas of wildlife significance near the Subproject area. In Dera Ghazi Khan, pigs and hog deer are fairly common in the woodlands near the River. Black and gray partridges are also found. Migratory birds use the Indus valley in cold weather. Many varieties of duck and teal visit the district. The Indus contains a variety of fish. In the winter months when the river recedes, fish are caught in greater quantity.

70. Wildlife found in the Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai [Baluchistan] is much the same as that found in other highland areas of the province such as wolves, jackal, hyena, fox, wild cat, mongoose, deer and hare. Porcupines and badgers are also common. Wild pigs are occasionally found in the Gadebar and Anambar forests. Mountain sheep and Chiltan markhor and Sulaiman markhor are fairly plentiful especially in the higher altitudes of the Suleman range

18 and in the hills near Chautair and Wana. Among the game birds, chukor and si-si are numerous in the hills. Black and grey partridge, pigeon, sand grouse, quail and bustard are found in the plains. Waterfowl is plentiful in the season. Common birds such as vulture, kite dove, sparrow, lark, hoopoe (hudhud) and starling (sarau) are also found. Among reptiles, snakes are numerous in all the tehsils except Sinjawi. No commercial fishing is taking place in the Subproject area.

71. The houbara bustard is predominantly a winter visitor to the deserts of Baluchistan; 12% of the area of the province forms the winter habitat of this species. Live birds and eggs are smuggled out of the country. It is estimated that about 400 falcons are trapped in Baluchistan each year and illegally exported to the Middle East. Demoiselle and Eurasian cranes migrate between Afghanistan and India. A major migration route for demoiselle cranes crosses the Zhob River and Loralai before entering Punjab. It is estimated that more than 40,000 demoiselle cranes pass through Zhob, of which a minimum of 5,000 are trapped each year. The most important staging areas for cranes in Baluchistan include the Zhob River, the plains of Loralai, Zangi Nawar, Chagai, the desert of Lasbela and Hab reservoir.

2. Terrestrial Habitats, Forests and Protected Species

a. Vegetation Cover and Trees

72. The Subproject area, which is dry, is dominated by plain barren, hilly and some rural suburbs with various productive fields of monocultures that now dominate the agro-ecosystems present in parts of the Subproject area.

73. The vegetation cover in the Subproject area is sparse trees such as Acacia modesta, Olive, Tamarix orientalis, halanea, Carogana,Vitis vinifera, Zizyphus nimularia, Ziziphusj ujuba, Grewia oppositifolia, Pistacio cabulica, Salix and, Dalbergia sisso, gunal, raga, iguzma in Barkhan and Musakhel while in Loralai juniper, macrocode and Pistachio, are found on the hills and mountain olive grow on low-lying hills. Phulai (Acacia modesta) is found along the Anambar River to the east end of the Bori valley. Other commonly occurring trees in the district include ash and myrtle. Less common species include beer gargat, bushk and pamagi. All these are used as vegetables. A variety of grasses grow in the Subproject area, the most important being barwaz barara, barav, buski ghalmea ganderae khar or zmai tukha, saba (Step caliphat) and sargrah. In the plain area, a considerable undergrowth of shrub, suitable for camel grazing is to be found.

74. The cultivated area of Baluchistan is about 6% of the total area of the province and is regarded as private property. The remaining lands, with the exception of the state lands, are considered common property. The major use of these lands is predominantly pastoral. In addition to providing forage for livestock, these lands provide wildlife habitat and play a valuable role in recharging groundwater.

75. The Household Income and Expenditure Survey estimated about 9,000 ha under farmland trees, with a standing volume of about 3.43 million cubic m, giving an annual production of about 100,000 cubic m a year (in the province) (IUCN 1992). The most common trees growing on farmers' fields are Prosopis cineraria (kandi), which occur naturally. Introduced trees include A. nilotica, Eucalyptus spp., Cupressus arizonica, Alianthus altissima, Populus spp., Melia azedaraca, Salix spp., Albizzia lebbek, Robinia pseudoacacia, Platanus orientalis, Gleditsia tricanthos, Sesbania sesban, Prosopis juliflora, Morus alba, Azadirahta indica, Ficus religiosa, Pinus eldarica and Elaeagnus hortensis. 19

b. Protected and Religious Trees

76. There is no protected forest near the DeraGhazi Khan to Loralai TXL Subproject. The nature of terrain with plain barren rangeland, lime stone containing land and steep mountain slopes ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 m in elevation and limited rainfall has not been conducive in making Subproject area suitable for purposes of forestry .Musakhel is devoid of forest. The Forest Department has declared a small piece of land Sarkandi area as Reserved Forest. Out of a total of 44,397 has, only 18,305 has are reserved for coniferous forest and the remaining 18,305 is scrubland or rangeland which is counted as forest in Loralai. The major trees found on higher hills are juniper and pistachio. Olive grows on the lower hills. 77. The rural poor are trapped in a vicious cycle of the over–exploitation of whatever remains, to compensate for the loss of productivity and the ever–increasing cost of living. It is estimated that barely 8% of provincial energy demands are currently being met from forest resources, compared with 33% on the country level (Government of Pakistan and IUCN, 1992). These estimates, however, do not appear to include dependence of the rural population on rangeland shrubs. In a recent survey in Sinjawi (Loralai District), it was found that on average, 250 kilograms per ha of woody shrubs are annually collected for fuel wood from the rangelands (Maarten, 1996). The situation is the same or even worse in other areas of Baluchistan, as fuel wood availability is limited. 78. The TXL ROW land is plain rangeland to steep mountain slopes. However, some grass growth, a very few bushes, no trees or built–up structures are found there.

3. Protected Areas / National Sanctuaries 79. The history of state involvement in conservation dates back to the Baluchistan Forest Regulation (1890). The Forest Department took control of forests and game–reserves on state lands. In 1960, 831,000 has of the former Kalat State were declared Protected Forests under the Forest Act 1927 when the state was merged with Pakistan. The Forest Department currently holds about 3% (1.086 million has) of the land. This includes forests, rangelands, wildlife areas and many deforested lands. In addition to affording legal protection to the forest areas, 22 threatened tree species were given legal protection under the Reserve Trees Rules (1901). The Baluchistan Wildlife Act (1974) provides for the establishment of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and game reserves.

80. There are two national parks with an area of 646,464 has; 14 wildlife sanctuaries totaling 967,592 has; eight game reserves covering 409,719 has; five private game reserves; and one community conservation area with a core area of 300 square kms (Table 14 and Map 4 in Maps section).

81. Industrial effluents discharged into rivers and streams not only kill aquatic life or contaminate freshwater life, but also find their way to the open sea, where marine habitats are affected.

D. Economic Development

1. Agriculture, Industries & Tourism

82. Cropping Pattern. The main crops in the Subproject area during winter are wheat (tricticum sativum), gram, barley (hordeum vulgara), oil seeds, Taramira, Sarson and Toria,

20 fodder. In summer sugarcane, cotton, Jawar, Bajra (pennisetum) and rice, Maize, pulses, potato, tobacco and cotton (gossypium genus) are grown.

83. Horticulture. The main fruits grown in the Subproject area are date, orange and mango [Dera Ghazi Khan]. In De-Excluded area at Khar near Fort Munro, there is a garden of fruits where mulberry, vine, fresh olive, almond, peach, plum and apricot are grown. Climate of Barkhan and Musakhel and Loralai is favorable for horticulture. The main fruits grown in the Subproject area are almond, apple, apricot, grape, peach, plum, pomegranate, cherry, pistachio, fig and other fruits and vegetables.

84. Minerals. Main minerals are petroleum, natural gas, uranium, gypsum, limestone, etc. No minerals are reported from Barkhan and Musakhel Districts. The Duki tehsils is the coal producing region of the Loralait where coal-mining activity offers a highly lucrative investment outlet by virtue of the fact that a ready market exists in the neighboring Punjab province. However, entry into the field is relatively restricted and only a handful of entrepreneurs are reaping the benefit. The local consumption of coal is almost negligible and is primarily used for domestic heating / cooking purposes. A limited number of low-grade marble deposits are also being worked and the production again ends up in Punjab.

85. Industry. There are nine major Industrial units of cotton ginning and pressing, cotton textiles, a cement factory and vegetable oil factory. Dera Ghazi Khan is well known for lacquered articles such as wooden / electric lamps, mirror frames, pottery, furniture and several other articles of decoration. There are cotton seed oil factories at 2 km from the TXL. There are no industrial units in Barkhan and Musakhel. The commercial activities are limited due to absence of infrastructure, roads, electricity, credit facilities, skilled manpower and technical support which are considered the prerequisite for enterprise development. No major industry, as such, exists in the district. However, cottage industry based on handicrafts and embroidery produced by the local womenfolk is a fairly thriving commercial enterprise, supplementing the income of the individual households. Apart from this, small scale auto and electrical goods repair outfits are operating in Loralai town where other commercial activities such as whole selling, retailing, hotels, and restaurants are also found.

86. Tourism. There are many places of interest that attract tourists and promote tourisms e.g. Fort Munro (is situated at a height of 1,890 m above sea level), There are gardens, orchids, beautiful bungalows, government offices. During summer season, climate of this place remain cool and mercury goes up to 4 to 7oC. It is used as summer resort during hot weather, Dam, lake and Trimmu waterfalls situated near Fort Munro are good picnic spots. Shrines of Sakhi Sarwar, Zinda Pir, Derah Din Panah, Pir Adil, Muhammad Suleman at Taunsa are religious places to visit. There are no places worth mentioning in Barkhan and Musakhel. There are no archaeological sites or other worth mentioning historical landmarks.

2. Transportation

87. The Subproject area i.e., Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai Districts are linked by road to Punjab province to the northeast and to the provincial capital Quetta to the southwest. Approximately 38 km of the portion of main Highway running from Dera Ghazi Khan to Quetta via Loralai falls in the Barkhan District. Only 72 kms of National Haighway (N–70) passing through the Kingri area of the District is metalled besides there is only one metalled road i.e, from Barkhan to Rakhni 51 km. All other roads are single or Kacha and are in a very poor position Kingri to Musakhel road has been constructed. It is linked with Killa Saifullah 21 district which lies to the northwest and to Sibi district lying to the southeast. The Subproject area is accessible through Dera Ghazi Khan Loralai road. All tehsils headquarters are connected with districts headquarters by roads. The Subproject area does not have any railway linkage. However, it is connected by Dera Ghazi Khan and Quetta airports to other parts of the country.

3. Energy Sources

88. The transmission lines for electrical power run to a main grid substation Dera Ghazi Khan. The existing 220 kV Dera Ghazi Khan Grid Station, owned by Multan Electric Power Company, transmits power to the load centres. A 132 kV substation feeds the customers in the area of Barkhan District, 132 kV Musakhel substation feeds the customers in the Musakhel area. The 11 kV distribution lines for electrical power originate from the existing, Quetta Electric Supply Company owned, 132 kV Loralai sub station. 132 kV Loralai substation feeds the customers in the area. The 11 kV distribution lines for electrical power originate from the existing, Quetta Electric Supply Company owned, 132 kV Loralai substation.

89. Reserves of fossil fuels is the main source of energy in Pakistan, others are derived from hydropower. In the study area, there is no source of hydropower and other energy sources are progressively more common further away from the major towns. The biomass sourcing is concentrated on home garden production of fuel wood, the extraction of wood from forests, woodland, crop plantations and agricultural residues. The other significant energy sources in the Subproject areas are kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). There are numerous petrol stations and LPG dealers in these districts.

E. Social and Cultural Resources

1. Population Communities and Employment

90. The total population of Dera Ghazi Khan District was1,643,118 as enumerated in March 1998. The population of Barkhan was 103,545, Musakhel 134,056 and Loralai 297,555 as mentioned in Statistical Book, 2007. The 1998 Census and Statistical Book shows the population of the Subproject area is predominantly 99% – 100% Muslim in rural areas. The next higher percentage in Dera Ghazi Khan is of Ahmadis with 0.2% followed by scheduled castes 0.10%. Other minorities like Christians, Hindus (Jati), etc are small in number. The proportion of population of Muslims in rural and urban areas is over 99%. Ahmadis in urban areas are 0.4 % and rural areas 2%. Christians are more in urban areas as compared to their proportion in rural areas. The Hindus (Jati) are very small in number in rural area. Siraiki is the predominant language being spoken in the Dera Ghazi Khan district, representing 80% of the population, followed by Balochi which spoken by 14%, Urdu 3% and Punjabi 1%. Others speak Sindhi, Pushto, Barahvi, Dari, etc. In Barkhan, predominant language is Balochi spoken by 75 % of the population. In Musakhel, 79% population speak Pushto, next language is Balochi spoken by 14%, of the population. Pushto is the predominant language being spoken in the Loralai district, representing 93% of the total population followed by Balochi spoken by 3%. Only 5% speaks Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Siraiki, etc.

91. Of the total economically active population, 75% were registered as employed in 1998 in Dera Ghazi Khan. Nearly three-fourths, i.e. 73 %, were self-employed, 10 % private employees and 6 % government employees. Unpaid family helpers were recorded as 10 %. The difference in proportions of employed population was significant between the genders and urban and rural

22 residences. The economically active population of the Loralai area is 25%. Out of the employed population 51% are self-employed, 32% working as employee (Govt. autonomous and private) and 15% are unpaid family helpers. The economically active population of Barkhan is 21%. Out of this, 76% are self-employed, 13% working as employees (Govt. Autonomous and Private) and 11% are unpaid family helper. The economically active population in Musakhel is 19%. Out of this, 67% are self employed 22% working as employees (Govt. Autonomous and private) and 10% are unpaid family helper.

92. The main occupation of women in rural areas including the Subproject area of Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai is housekeeping which includes attending to the cattle, extracting butter and Ghee from milk, collection of firewood, weaving, embroidery and sewing of family clothes. Women strictly remain within the boundary walls except for going out to bring drinking water from springs/wells. In city, women are housewives or work as professional doctors, nurses, teachers and health visitors. 93. The degradation of natural resources has a major impact on women’s lives. It is generally the women who collect fuel wood and cut the grass for forage. Fuel wood and fodder, once within their reach, are now harder to find. As a result, they have to invest a lot of their time in this activity. The cutting of Pistachio trees for fuel and of edible pine trees for timber has reduced family income and a source of nutrition.

2. Education and Literacy

94. The literacy ratio in Dera Ghazi Khan District is 31% in 1998. The literacy ratio for males is 42% and 18% for females. Literacy is much higher in urban areas compared with rural areas for male and female. The literacy of Barkhan District is 16%. The male literacy ratio is 34% compared to 6% for female. Literacy is much higher, i.e. 37%, in urban areas compared with rural areas, i.e. 14% for male and female. The literacy ratio of Musakhel is 10%. The male literacy ratio is 14% compared to 5% for female. Literacy is much higher i.e. 16% in urban areas compared with rural areas i.e. 10% for male and female. The literacy ratio of the Loralai District is 20%, 53% in urban areas and 16% in rural areas. The male literacy ratio is 30% as compared to 9% for female.

95. There is no separate girls' school in the villages along TXL ROW. The inhabitants do not send their daughters in the co-education schools and women requested for separate girls' school in their village or even their joint family houses. There are primary, middle, and high schools, colleges with M.A. M.Sc. classes in the Subproject area including Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai town. The educational institutions in the district are as follows:

3. Health Facilities

96. In Dera Ghazi Khan District, there are 6 hospitals with 305 beds, 35 dispensaries with 14 beds, nine Rural Health Centers with 180 beds, 52 Basic Health Units with eight beds along with one T.B. Clinic, 34 Sub-Health Centers and six Mother Care Health Centers are functioning day and night for providing the medical facility to the people of the district. According to the Statistics Book, 2007 there is one hospital with ten beds and 10 dispensaries. Six BHU, two MCH and no T. B. Clinic, 11 doctors, no nurse, 21 LHV, 22 Dais / midwives in Barkhan district in Musakhel there is one hospital with 25 beds, 15 dispensaries, one rural health center with 10 beds, six BHU, two MCH, 13 doctors, no nurse, 3 LHV, 28 Dais / midwives, while in Loralai District, there are two government hospitals, 138 beds, 47 dispensaries, two rural health centers 25 with 20 beds on private side. Two private hospitals with 12 beds, two rural Health centers, 27 basic health units, 56 dispensaries, one health auxiliary, five Mother and Child Health Care Centers, one Leprosy clinic and one School Health Services Unit, 57 doctors, seven nurses, 26 LHV, 1,060 Dais / Midwives in Loralai. No medical facilities are available in villages along TXL corridor. However, all health facilities including civil hospital are located in Towns and Cities. The roads' condition is not good and transport facilities are not sufficient to go to medical centers. But due to non-availability of specialists’ doctors and paramedical staff, a large number of patients have to go Dera Ghazi Khan and / or Quetta to get treatment.

4. Cultural Heritage and Community Structure

97 There are no official heritage sites or historic, religious or archeologically important sites located in the Subproject works areas. There are no major historic or archaeological features of note but line passes over graveyard at few places. There are a few places of worship / mosques within about 500 m of the works.

98 The inhabitants of the Dera Ghazi Khan District are predominantly Baloch belonging to various tribal groups. Nutkani, Buzdar and Qaisrani tribes are in overwhelming majority in Taunsa Tehsil, whereas Sori Lund, Khosa, and Leghari tribes dominate in Dera Ghazi Khan Tehsil. Aside from this, people belonging to smaller sub-tribes such as Pitafi and Jaskan are settled in the entire district. Khitran, Pathans dominate in the villages situated in the north-west of Taunsa Tehsil, which formerly formed a part of Dera Ismail Khan District. Apart from this, the people of other tribes, i.e. Syed, Pathan, Mughal, Jat, Arain, Awan, Rajput,and Jats, are scattered all over the district but they are found mostly in area along the Indus. The Barkhan District is mainly inhabited by three main tribes namely Khetran, Marri and Buzdar. The Principal tribe is Khetran which is very mixed race. They have a chief or Tumandar, a headman or Wadera for each clan or section. The major tribes of Musakhel are Musakhels, the principal divisions of which are Belkhels and Laherzais, Jafar (Afghan), Isot Afghan, Zimiri (Afghan), Syed, Qaisarani (Baloch) and Buzdar (Baloch). The languages spoken are Pashto, Jafarki and Balochi.

99. While main tribes that inhabit Loralai are Kakars, Dummars, Tareens, Lunis, Zakhpels, Nasirs, Pachis Syeds together with Ghilzais, Sulemankhels Baloch and Marris constitute the principle tribes of the District. With the exception of Baloch and Marris, the remaining tribes are all Pashtoons. All the affected households are Muslim and ethnically Baloch, Khetran and Pushtoons. IV. SCREENING POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

A. Project Location

1. Impact Assessment and Mitigation

100. This Subproject will involve the construction of a TXL, most sensitive receivers are set well back from the TXL ROW, just outside the 20 m radius of the subproject in some areas.

101. The location and scale of the works are very important in predicting the environmental impacts. This process of impact prediction is the core of the IEE process and it is critical that the recommendations and mitigation measures are carried out with reference to the conditions on the ground in the affected areas in the spirit of the environmental assessments process. In this

26 section, the potential environmental impacts are reviewed. Where impacts are significant enough to exceed accepted environmental standards, mitigation is proposed in order to reduce residual impact to acceptable levels and achieve the expected outcomes (minimization of crop and asset damages; noise and dust mitigation; redress of damages to infrastructure; management of transport and construction machinery to minimize inconvenience to adjoining settlements; minimize invasion of privacy impacts) of the Subproject being implemented. Therefore, it is essential that a proper analysis is carried out during the project planning period. In this regard, the impact prediction plays a vital role as these predictions are used for developing mitigation measures and any alternative options, if appropriate. When the detailed designs are completed, the impacts and mitigation measures will need to be further reviewed to take into account how the contracts are set up and in the light of any fine tuning of the Subproject proposals.

102. The potential environmental impacts in the design, construction and operational phases are assessed below. Where impacts are significant enough to exceed accepted environmental standards, mitigation is proposed in order to reduce residual impact to acceptable levels and achieve the expected outcomes of the project. The criteria for assessment are the national standards and criteria set by the GOP. Where GOP has not set a standard or guideline criterion the standards given in World Banks publication Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook6 are used as criteria. The EMP is presented in Appendix 2 as a matrix of mitigation measures to prevent or minimize the impacts .

103. The environmental management plan (Section 5 and EMP matrix Attachment 2) shall be revised at project inception and through construction in order to feed back any significant unpredicted impacts. It is based on the analysis of impacts, primarily to document key environmental issues likely to arise from subproject project implementation, to prescribe mitigation measures to be integrated in the project design, to design monitoring and evaluation schedules to be implemented during subproject project construction and operation, and to estimate costs required for implementing subproject mitigation measures. The EMP plan must be reviewed at the subproject inception by the project management and approved before any construction activity is initiated, to take account of any subsequent changes and fine tuning of the proposals

2. General Approach to Mitigation

104 During the preparation for the Subproject construction phase, the future contractors must be notified and prepared to cooperate with the executing agency, project management, supervising consultants and local population in the mitigation of impacts. Furthermore, the contractor must be primed through bidding stages and the contract documentation to implement the EMP in full and be ready to engage trained environmental management staff to audit the effectiveness and review mitigation measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency (NTDC) must be prepared for this. In this regard, the NTDC must fulfill the requirements of the law and guidance prepared by PEPA on the environmental aspects of power projects and the recommendations already made for Subproject in this IEE and under PEPAct.

6 Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook 1998, World Bank Group, Washington D.C.

27

105. The location of the residences, mosques, schools, hospitals and civic cultural and other heritage sites has been reviewed in Section III. Some of the residences and schools are close enough to Subproject that there will be potential impacts in the construction stage from disturbance and significant noise and dust. Water is available in the study area although surplus water may not always be available to suppress dust at many locations in the dry season. Therefore as a general approach it is recommended that where works are within 10m of any sensitive receivers, the contractor should install segregation between the works and the edge and the sensitive receivers. The segregation should be easily erectable 2.5 m high tarpaulin sheet and designed to retain dust and provide a temporary visual barrier to the works. Where dust is the major consideration the barrier can take the form of tarpaulins strung between two poles mounted on a concrete base. These can be moved along from tower base to tower base the power as the work proceeds. Where noise is a major consideration (say outside schools or hospitals) construction should be avoided at sensitive times. As a fall back option to control noise, the mass of the barriers can be increased using block-board or corrugated metal sheet to supplement the tarpaulins. In addition to the physical effect of mitigating dust and noise the installation of such measures should be discussed with the local population and serve as a vehicle for further public consultation at the implementation stage to assist in public relations.

3. Cultural Heritage, Mosques, Temples, Religious Sites & Social Infrastructure 106. The location of mosques, cultural, heritage sensitive receiver sites and infrastructures has been reviewed in Section III. There are no mosques or religious sites near the works, except that the line will cross over graveyards at a few locations [Appendix 7]. It will traverse mostly barren hilly and rough lands (95.74%), and minimally the tube-well irrigated farmlands (4.26%), no land will be acquired permanently. The TXL will affect 734.96 ha of land of which 31.28 ha are productive land and 703.68 ha unproductive land and will affect a total of 126 households with a total population of 1,232 affected persons, who are all landowner farmers. The new 245.01 km TXL will traverse lands of some 21 villages. It may partially affect or damage some seven stone-mud built houses and one boundary (which will not require demolition/relocation), and affect crops and trees of a total of 88 households (1,232 Affected Persons). Of the total 755 towers, only 723 towers will be constructed on barren hilly and rough lands, while only 32 towers (4.24%) will be constructed in privately owned farmlands. The majority of the towers are straight towers and in some cases, to avoid and/or minimize impacts, some 118 angular towers (Angle Markers) will be constructed. Moreover, 4-6 m leg extensions will be provided to the corresponding towers, to maintain 7-8 m vertical clearance to the tops of the likely affected eight structures (7 houses and 1 boundary wall), falling partially within the 30 m wide corridor. Aside from affecting agricultural crops on 31.28 ha of farmlands, some 356 trees (152 fruit trees and 204 wood trees) will need to be removed from the 30 m wide corridor of impact. Aside from these, no other built-up structures, whether private or community owned, will be affected. None of the 755 towers will be constructed in an urban or compact village housing areas, nor will any of these towers have a low-bar to restrict the future use of farmlands under the towers. The overall impacts on social infrastructure, therefore, will be temporary and minor and no land under any tower will be affected and acquired permanently. 107. The clinic / hospitals are all at more than 2 km from the edge of the TXL Subproject in Dera Ghazi Khan, Barkhan, Musakhel and Loralai town and there will be sufficient buffer distance between the works and the sensitive receiver as such that no major significant impact would be expected from the works [Appendix7].

28

108. The location of schools is more than 200 m – 2 km from the edge of the Subproject. There will be sufficient buffer distance between the works and all the sensitive receiver is well away from the TXL [Appendix 7] and as such, there is no significant impacts that can be expected. Public consultation should be undertaken at the implementation stage to ensure nuisances are not allowed to escalate.

4. Cut and fill

109. The Subproject work should not involve any significant cutting and filling but minor excavations (down to 4 m) and piling will not be required at the TXL ROW site to create the footings for the towers with the exception of a few locations where tower will be installed in nullahs (flood streams) and it is envisaged (depending on the mode of contract) that the surfaces under the towers will need to be scrabbled to remove unstable materials, or to stockpile topsoil.

110. Mitigation measures must focus on the minimization of impacts. In order to allow the proper functioning of the settlement sites (access to villages) during construction, it is recommended that consideration be given to erect temporary hoardings immediately adjacent to the nearest houses and shops if they are within 15 m of the TXL construction site.

111. If surplus materials arise from the removal of the existing surfaces, these can be used elsewhere on the project before additional soil rock, gravel or sand extraction is considered. The use of this immediately available material will minimize the need for additional rock based materials extraction in this stretch. The Subproject detailed designers have so far estimated that no substantial additional materials will be required subject to confirmation at the detailed design stage.

112. At this stage, no areas require removal of woodland. However, if specimen trees of religious plantations are affected the owners should be given the resources and opportunity to reinstate the woodland long term and a plantation compensation plan should be drawn up to replant the woodland/trees. In the event that the land is not suitable for plantation, then other areas should be identified to replace the cut trees and sufficient areas should be identified to allow plantation of trees at a rate of say 5:1. The replacement ratio should allow for a high mortality rate among the newly planted trees in the dry environment or otherwise as based on advice from the District Forest Officer.

113. Contractual clauses should be included to require each contractor to produce a materials management plan (1 month before construction commences) to identify all sources of cement and aggregates and to balance cut and fill. The plan should clearly state the methods to be employed prior to and during the extraction of materials and all the mitigation measures to be employed to mitigate nuisances to local residents. Financial compensation shall not be allowed as mitigation for environmental impacts or environmental nuisance. Mitigation measures shall seek to control the impacts at source in the first place. The engineer shall be responsible to update the Subproject cut and fill estimates and create Materials Master Plan to facilitate materials exchange between the different contract areas along the power line and sub- contractors on the power line and to provide an overall balance for materials and minimize impacts on local resources.

114. Land holders will be paid compensation for their standing trees in accordance with prevailing market rates (as per LARP). The land holders will be allowed to salvage the wood of the affected trees. They will also be encouraged to plant suitable new trees outside the 30 m 29 corridor of the transmission line in lieu of tree removed. The contractor’s staff and labor will be strictly directed not to damage any vegetation such as trees or bushes. Clearing of green surface cover for construction, for borrow or for development, cutting of trees and other important vegetation during construction should be minimized. Landscaping and road verges to be re-installed on completion. Compensatory planting of trees/shrubs/ornamental plants (at a rate of 5:1) to contribute to the aesthetic value of the area and compensate for the lost capability of the area to absorb carbon dioxide in line with best international practice. At completion, all debris and waste shall be removed.

B. Potential Environmental Impacts

1. Encroachment, Landscape and Physical Disfiguration

115. Prior to the operation of the Subproject, TXL will be constructed. The extent of the proposed power expansion is moderate and should not at all extend beyond the TXL corridor or boundary in Subproject area. No significant additional landscape impacts (other than the impact of the construction of the transmission line ) can be expected from construction of the Subproject [Appendix7].

116. Disposal of surplus materials must also be negotiated through local authority approvals prior to the commencement of construction.

2. Trees, Ecology and Protected Areas 117. Surveys have been made all along the TXL ROW and line alignment of Subproject. Trees are present at a few locations in cultivated areas and fruit gardens in the ROW site. The land is covered with scanty grasses, and some bushes are found and there may not be a need for any disturbance of trees in most of the Subproject works area [Appendix 6]. A total 356 trees will require removal from the 30 m wide corridors of the new transmission line. Of the 356 affected trees, 152 are fruit trees (42.7%) and 204 (57.3%) are wood trees. Six Almond orchards will be affected only partially. Among the 152 affected fruit trees, 88 Almond trees (57.9%) are found in six compact Almond orchards, while 64 affected fruit trees (42.1%) are found scattered within the 30 m wide corridor of the transmission line. Of the 64 scattered fruit trees, there are 40 Almond trees and 24 Berri (zizyphus) trees. Among the 204 affected wood trees, kikar (acacia) shisham (Dalbergia sisso), poplar/eucalyptus, willow, etc. are found scattered in the Subproject area. 118. If for some unforeseen reason Reserved Trees or other trees do need to be removed, permission should be obtained from the forest user group and Department of Forests after written justification.

119.. A requirement shall be inserted in the contracts that no trees are to be cut in the ROW without the written permission from the Supervising consultant who may permit the removal of trees if unavoidable on safety and technical engineering grounds after written justification to the satisfaction of the local user groups or Department of Forests.

30

3. Hydrology, Sedimentation, Soil Erosion

120. Some drainage streams en–route the Subproject ROW [Appendix 7] so the project should be impeded to some extent by the works and the scale of the works does warrant hydrological monitoring. Refer to Appendix 7 for likely impacts upon waterways and ponds.

121. Compile temporary drainage management plan 1 month before commencement of works. Proper installation of temporary drainage and erosion control before works within 50 m of water bodies should be done. Proper construction of temporary drainage and erosion control measures, maintenance and management including training of operators and other workers to avoid pollution of water bodies by the considerate operation of construction machinery and equipment. Storage of lubricants, fuels and other hydrocarbons in self-contained dedicated enclosures should be >50m away from water bodies. Proper disposal of solid waste from construction activities and labor camps should be ensured. Cover the construction material and spoil stockpiles with a suitable material to reduce material loss and sedimentation and avoid stockpiling near to water bodies. Topsoil stripped material shall not be stored where natural drainage will be disrupted. Borrow sites (if required) should not be close to sources of drinking water.

122. Temporary erosion control plan should be prepared 1 month before commencement of works. Proper installation of Temporary Drainage and Erosion Control should be provided before works within 50 m of water bodies. Back-fill should be compacted properly in accordance with design standards and graded to original contours where possible. Excavated areas should be treated against flow acceleration while filled areas should be carefully designed to avoid improper drainage. Stockpiles should not be formed within such distances behind excavated or natural slopes that would reduce the stability of the slopes. In the short-term, either temporary or permanent drainage works shall protect all areas susceptible to erosion. Measures shall be taken to prevent ponding of surface water and scouring of slopes. Newly eroded channels shall be backfilled and restored to natural contours. Contractor should arrange to adopt suitable measures to minimize soil erosion during the construction period. Contractor should consult concerned authorities in the area before deciding mitigation measures. Clearing of green surface cover to be minimized during site preparation. Replanting trees to be done before the site is vacated and handed back to NTDC with appropriate trees (other vegetation cover as appropriate) to ensure interception of rainwater and the deceleration of surface run-off.

4. Air Pollution from Earthworks and Transport

123. All heavy equipment and machinery shall be fitted in full compliance with the national and local regulations. (Relevant regulations are in the Motor vehicles fitness rules and Highway Act). Stockpiled soil and sand shall be slightly wetted before loading, particularly in windy conditions. Fuel-efficient and well-maintained haulage trucks shall be employed to minimize exhaust emissions. Vehicles transporting soil, sand and other construction materials shall be covered. Limitations to speeds of such vehicles are necessary. Transport through densely populated area should be avoided. To minimize the dust within the vicinity of orchards and fruit farms, spraying of bare areas with water is planned.

124. Field observations indicate that ambient air quality is generally acceptable and that emissions from powered mechanical equipment are rapidly dispersed. 31

125. Earthworks will contribute to increasing dust, and the foundation earthworks will generate dust and the following mitigation measures are needed: (i) Dust suppression shall be undertaken where towers are within 50 m of houses. (ii) Construction materials (sand, gravel, and rocks) and spoil materials will be transported trucks covered with tarpaulins. (iii) All vehicles (e.g., trucks, equipment, and other vehicles that support construction works) will comply with the national vehicle regulations. 126. The need for large stockpiles should be minimized by careful planning of the supply of materials from controlled sources. Stockpiles should not be located within 50 m of schools, hospitals or other public amenities such as wells and pumps and should be covered with tarpaulins when not in use and at the end of the working day to enclose dust.

5. Noise, Vibration and Blasting

127. Noise impacts from the construction of the TXL should be reviewed at the detailed design stage. Such equipment should be located within TXL corridor or boundary far from sensitive receivers as possible to prevent nuisances to dwellings and other structures from operation. Appendix 7 identifies six locations where noise could be a problem. See Annexure 1 for standards.

128. It is anticipated that powered mechanical equipment and a lot of local labor with hand tool methods will be used to construct the Subproject towers works. Blasting is anticipated. Powered mechanical equipment can generate significant noise and vibration. The cumulative effects from several machines can be significant. To minimize such impacts, the contractor for Subproject should be requested by the Engineer to provide evidence and certification that all equipment to be used for construction is fitted with the necessary air pollution and noise dampening devices to meet NTDC requirements.

129.. At nearby schools, the contractor shall discuss with the school principals the agreed time for operating these machines and completely avoid machine use near schools during examination times.

130. Conduct detailed acoustic assessment for all residential, school, (other sensitive structures) within 50 m of ROW. If noise at sensitive receiver exceeds the permissible limit, the construction activities should be monitored and controlled. Locations that may require such assessment have been identified and presented in Appendix 7.

6. Air pollution and noise from the enhanced operations

131. The Subproject works will extend the power transmission lines but no settlements, villages and schools will be close to the facilities in the operational phase. Noise from local power transmission in the villages is not currently a major consideration and cumulative effects of the expanded system should not be a problem. Nevertheless, certain residences, places of worship and schools will be quite close to the expanded TXL. Therefore, it is recommended that an acoustical check be made on the detailed design to determine of any noise barriers are required.

32

7. Sanitation, Solid Waste Disposal, Communicable Diseases

132. The main issues of concern are uncontrolled defecation by construction workers, unmanaged disposal of solid and liquid wastes into watercourses, natural drains and improper disposal of storm water and black water in the village areas.

133. In order to maintain proper sanitation around construction sites, provision of temporary toilets will be made. Construction worker camps will not be located in settlement areas or near sensitive water resources.

134. Identify location of work camps in consultation with local authorities. The location shall be subject to approval by the NTDC. If possible, camps shall not be located near settlements or near drinking water supply intakes. Cutting of trees shall be avoided and removal of vegetation shall be minimized. Water and sanitary facilities (at least pit latrines) shall be provided for employees. Worker camp and latrine sites to be backfilled and marked upon vacation of the sites. Solid waste and sewage shall be managed according to the national and local regulations. As a rule, solid waste must not be dumped, buried or burned at or near the project site, but shall be disposed of to the nearest sanitary landfill or site having complied with the necessary permits of local authority permission. The Contractor shall organize and maintain a waste separation, collection and transport system. The Contractor shall document that all liquid and solid hazardous and non-hazardous waste are separated, collected and disposed of according to the given requirements and gelatins. At the conclusion of the Project, all debris and waste shall be removed. All temporary structures, including office buildings, shelters and toilets shall be removed. Exposed areas shall be planted with suitable vegetation. NTDC and Supervising Engineer shall inspect and report that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions

8. Disease Vectors

135. Vectors such as mosquitoes will be encountered at any standing water which is allowed to accumulate in the temporary drainage facilities, improper storm water management in the settlement areas, improper disposal of wastewater generated from the local wells or water accumulating in borrow pits. Temporary and permanent drainage facilities shall be designed to facilitate the rapid removal of surface water from all areas and prevent the accumulation of surface water ponds.

9. Pollution from oily run-off, fuel spills and dangerous goods

136. Control measures for oily residues, lubricants and refueling are prescribed in the EMP. Control measures in Subproject maintenance yards have been created but they have no dedicated drainage which can capture run-off. Oily residues and fuel should be captured at source and refueling and maintenance should take place in dedicated areas away from surface water resources. No significant impacts should be allowed to arise in Subproject. Used oil and lubricants shall be recovered and reused or removed from the site in full compliance with the national and local regulations. Oily wastes must not be burned. Disposal location will be agreed with local authorities/EPA. Machinery should be properly maintained to minimize oil spill during the construction. Solid waste should be disposed at an approved solid waste facility open burning is illegal and contrary to good environmental practice 33

137. Avoid disposal of wash water, solid waste and discarded packing, etc. on wetlands. Piling up of loose material should be done in segregated areas to arrest washing out of soil. In addition, these materials should not be tipped or stockpiled near wetlands . Leftovers from concrete works should not be dumped close to wetlands. Avoid temporary structures or *stockpiling within banks of river and on wetlands. Special measures will be adopted to minimize impacts on the wild birds, such as avoiding construction activities during the critical periods of breeding and feeding. Staff working on the Project should be given clear orders, not to shoot, snare or trap any bird. During the period of migration of birds from Central Asia to the plains of Sindh, which are normally the coldest months of December and January and their return journey during February/March, the construction activities, around the wetlands should be kept as efficient as possible to minimize impacts and to encourage these migratory birds to settle at normal feeding grounds in wetlands. The contractor will prevent the workers from hunting and fishing for water birds and fish resources, etc. Food and fuel will be provided by the contractor from local villages. Erection of towers in the wetlands will be avoided as far as possible. However, at places where realignment of the transmission is unavoidable, towers with maximum span will be used to minimize the impacts.

10. Social 138. Potential for spread of vector borne and communicable diseases from labor camps shall be avoided (worker awareness orientation and appropriate sanitation should be maintained). Claims/complaints of the people on construction nuisance/damages close to ROW to be considered and responded to promptly by the contractor, contractor should organize temporary means of access and make alternative arrangements to avoid local community impacts and to avoid such short-term negative impacts.

C. Environmental Impacts During Detailed Design and Pre-construction Phase

139. The line alignment of the Project and construction are critical in determining the environmental impacts and route selection and the related impacts have been discussed in Chapter 3. There are also a number of other matters that will require detailed designs that consultant engineers will prepare and it is assumed that the detailed designs will avoid construction impacts by good design and to minimize operational environmental pollution impacts as far as practicable. In line with ADB policy on environmentally responsible procurement, opportunities to provide environmental enhancements have been identified and will also be included in the detailed designs. Routine matters such as avoiding unnecessary removing of trees will also require attention in the detailed design and preconstruction stages. Opportunities for enhancements during detailed design, construction and operation, which are envisaged at this stage, have also been included in the EMP to be reviewed at the detailed design stage (DDS).

1. Review of impact assessment, mitigation, and EMP

140. The EMP will be reviewed during the implementation phase at the detailed design stage in line with best practice as required by ADB. A check will be made at the detailed design stage that the alignment has been designed as planned to ensure the route is as described in the EIA and the RRP for ADB with the same land acquisition. If there are changes in project scope or alignment these will be disclosed to EPA and the EIA, LARP and EMP will be revised. The

34 revised EIA, LARP and EMP will be resubmitted to ADB, incorporating any recommendations and requirements from EPA.

141. The EMP (section 5 and EMP matrix Appendix 2) has been compiled based on the EMP principles promulgated by EPA, in a format familiar to ADB. The EMP is a working document and will need to be reviewed in due course at inception and throughout construction in order to feed back any significant unpredicted impacts. It is based on the analysis of impacts, primarily to document key environmental issues likely to arise from project implementation, to prescribe mitigation measures to be integrated in the contract documentation, project design, to design monitoring and evaluation schedules to be implemented during project construction and operation, and to estimate costs required for implementing mitigation measures. The EMP must be reviewed at the inception phase by the project management when the detailed designs are complete and the EMP will be approved by NTDC Environmental and Social Implementation Cell (ESIC) before any construction activity is initiated, to take account of any changes and fine tuning of the design proposals.

2. Social Impacts and Resettlement

142. The need for social preparation of the APs has been included in the social assessment. The LARP has been completed to clarify the entitlements for resettlement and for compulsory purchase of land and other matters for compensation. The social preparation will be completed prior to commencement of construction. All acquisition of lands and monetary compensation will be completed to minimize the uncertainty of people. All the payments/entitlements will be paid according to the principles established in the entitlement matrix prepared as an integral part of the LARP the details of which may be amended if there are changes in alignment.

3. Project disclosure

143. The preliminary design has been disclosed to the EPA and public consultations have been conducted based on the preliminary alignment designs presented in Appendix 10. The environmental clearances which will be required from EPA have also been identified (in principle) subject to confirmation at the Detailed Design Phase (DDS).

144. It is common for the alignment of power transmission line projects to undergo some or fine tuning during the detailed design phase.. The final alignment shall be disclosed to EPA at the detailed design stage and the EMP must be reviewed.

4. Environmentally Responsible Procurement (ERP)

145. During the detailed design phase and in preparation for the construction phase, the Detailed Design Cell (DDC) will prepare tender documents to make sure that future contractors will be prepared and primed to cooperate with the implementing agency, project management, supervising consultants and local population in the mitigation of environmental impacts.

146. The ADB guidelines on ERP8 recommend identification of opportunities to enhance design and avoid environmental pollution by choosing non-polluting or enhancing methods. In order to introduce this process as early as possible in the project the contractor will be required to submit with their tender a Method Statement and schedule of environmental mitigation 35 measures in response to EMP. Contractual clauses will be included in the tender documents to tie the implementation of environmental mitigation measures to a performance milestones. The ESIC cell will check that contractors Method Statements submitted with tenders have made sufficient provisions and include plans and sufficient resources to implement the mitigation measures in the EMP that will be reviewed and updated as necessary at the detailed design stage.

147. In order to comply with best international practice and ADB guidelines all the new equipment will not contain Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or other hazardous or persistent polluting chemicals. Therefore in procurement documents it always shall be specified that transformers, transformer oil and other equipment are to be free from PCB and other petroleum fractions that may be injurious to environment or equipment. Although to date it has not been possible to identify any PCB containing equipment in the sites so far investigated, it is required that a plan will be made by NTDC to gradually phase out any isolated remaining items of existing equipment with transformer oil, breaker oil or other equipment that may contain PCB and this shall be done as soon as practicable.

148. The Detailed design Cell/Consultant (DDC) in cooperation with the ESIC cell will include in the tender documents and draft contracts requirements that will also include but not necessarily limited to the following:

(i) Minimize acquisition of agricultural land for temporary facilities (if needed) by selecting preferred locations in detailed designs for construction yards and asphalt plant on barren or marginal land and agree terms with local community. (ii) Potential solution spaces will be identified in advance by the DDC and approved by NTDC in consultation with the local community to ensure sufficient storage and disposal space for cut surface materials and to avoid fly-tipping. (iii) Include plans in detailed designs and programming that avoid community severance and minimize disturbance of pedestrians and vehicular traffic during construction. Detailed designs will also retain passageways along all footpaths, tracks and access ways near the project during construction. (iv) Designs will require hydrological and drainage impacts during construction to be minimize by early phasing of replacement of culverts and other infrastructure. These plans and designs will be included for in contracts. (v) Extensions and improvements to drainage culverts that fall under embankments of the project will be designed to account for increased runoff from rain due to climate change and included in detailed designs. (vi) Avoid disruption to and retain or re-provision current facilities for irrigation and potable water supply before construction works commence; that provisions are made to preserve the operation of current facilities for irrigation and potable water supply in sufficient quantity in agreement with the local community. (vii) Aim to provide some enhancements in line with ADB policy on environmentally responsible procurement and avoid negative impacts due to unnecessary removing of trees.

5. Planning Waste Disposal

149. Waste management plans (WMP) will be drawn up at the project planning stage of the subproject to ensure that waste disposal measures will be undertaken to reuse and recycle all materials wherever possible minimize the generation of waste. WMPs will be prepared for all

36 subproject packages as part of the environmental management plan to ensure that the waste generated during the construction is disposed in an environment-friendly manner. With the proper implementation of an appropriate waste disposal plan, there will be no residual risk due to improper waste disposal. ADB Guidelines on Environmentally Responsible Procurement 2007 (ERP7) recommend reduction, reuse and recycling of waste.

6. Planning Hazardous Waste Disposal

150. The waste management plan (WMP) drawn up will also cover measures to be undertaken to reuse and recycle all equipment and oil wherever possible and minimize the generation of waste. WMPs shall ensure that any residual oily waste and other contaminated waste generated in the construction and operational phase is disposed in line with provincial EPA and local authority requirements. With the proper implementation of an appropriate waste disposal plan, there will be no residual risk due to improper waste disposal.

151. The selected contractor will prepare a Waste Management Plan that will be dovetailed including the management of oil and other waste materials; with disposal sites identified based on the agreement with the local authorities for agreement by ESIC 1 month prior to the commencement of construction work.

7. Avoiding adverse operational air quality and noise mitigation by design

152. The residential dwellings and other Sensitive Receivers near the Project are generally set back sufficiently so that operational impacts will not be sufficient to affect the sensitive receivers in the settlements. In order to preserve this acceptable situation NTDC must prevent encroachment of settlements into the ROW. Construction impacts including dust and fumes from erosion and earthworks will be controlled through the EMP. Operational air quality monitoring will only be carried out for reassurance purposes at the substations.

153. The accepted World Bank criterion8 of Leq55dB(A) or an increase in 3dB(A) at the sensitive receiver for noise sensitive developments such as residences, schools, colleges and hospitals is unlikely to be exceeded at any sensitive receivers in the villages during the operational phase based on the alignment. Based on the public consultation there also seems to be some local acceptance of the noise impacts that will come with the project. Therefore it is recommended that before mitigation is designed at the detailed design stage the acceptability of noise impacts on the residences and other sensitive receivers should be established with the local stakeholders to ensure no unacceptable nuisances arise.

8. Managing hydrological impacts

154. The proposed Project will cross numerous rivers and rivulets. The tower footings and support pads near the rivers will be designed to be safe during an occurrence of floods within the expected design life of the structures. At the same time, the design of the river crossing structures should be economical and within an acceptable risk limit.

7 ADB. 2007. Environmentally Responsible Procurement - A Reference Guide for Better Practice. Manila. 8 World Bank. 1998. Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook. Washington D.C. 37

155. Therefore to minimize and manage hydrologic flow at sites where flooding may occur, appropriate structures will be included in the detailed designs in order to cater for worst case flow and take account of increased rain from climate change during the life of the project. The contractor will also base calculations on available industry standard estimates of such increased flows that are available in the literature at the time (e.g. OECD9). The designs will also provide for redistributing sheet flows from surfaces to reduce erosion and other impacts. Designs will also include adequate major and minor lead off drainage facilities to the nearest water courses, as necessary. In order to minimize and manage hydrologic flow at bridges and culverts during construction a Drainage Plan will also be prepared by the contractor to control construction runoff and prepare to prevent flooding.

9. Planning for Erosion Control

156. The natural environment around the project is prone to erosion in some areas and the construction works will aggravate this situation. Therefore the necessary engineering controls for erosion protection measures need to be planned in advance. An Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage Plan will be compiled in order to avoid any significant or catastrophic erosion or landslide events. The Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage Plan will be agreed with ESIC cell at least 1 month prior to the commencement of construction. This will allow time for the contractor to make necessary provisions to install the soil erosion control and temporary drainage measure in good time. The plan will include all the constructed works and peripheral areas, particularly along access and haul tracks.

10. Planning Construction camps

157. Public consultation has also identified significant concerns about uncontrolled worker camp operations and stockpiling of construction materials.

158. The sites selected for worker camps and back up areas for stockpiling materials and equipment will be planned in advance in consultation with the local community and located to avoid the most productive agriculture and will use waste/barren land and non-agricultural plots as far as possible. Consultation will be undertaken with local authorities and land owners by the detailed design engineers to agree use of such lands before detailed designs are finalized and before construction contracts are signed and the arrangements will be reconfirmed by the construction contractors and notified to NTDC before construction commences.

11. Temporary Traffic Management

159. There are also concerns about blocking existing roads and many other footpaths and tracks near the route during construction. Therefore a provisional Temporary Pedestrian and Traffic Management plan will be prepared by the contractor that can be updated by the contractors and agreed with ESIC 1 month prior to start of works. Alternative footpaths and access should discussed in advance with the local authorities in the districts and signposted and be re provisioned before the start of construction.

12. Institutional strengthening and capacity building

160. The ESIC cell currently has few staff and there will be a need for more human resources as discussed in the Chapter 5. A substantial amount of training will be undertaken in order to ensure that the Cell officials are trained to understand how to apply the EMP. The training will ensure they have the resources to apply the EMP and have the capacity to evaluate the environmental requirements and contractors’ mitigation measures and also to facilitate capacity building activities. This will work towards the development of a strengthening plan for the environmental management undertaken by ESIC as the Project moves from the detailed design to the construction and maintenance phases. There will be a net increase in staffing in the ESIC cell for monitoring all stages of the Project from pre-construction to commissioning and for the first year of the operation and maintenance. An international environmental specialist should also be engaged to support the ESIC at least for the first 6 months from pre-construction until the monitoring and auditing methodologies are established by the ESIC cell.

13. Preparing the Contractor(s) to Address Mitigation Measures

161. The contractor will be primed by including the EMP and environmental assessments in the bidding and contract documentation. The contractor(s) will be informed that they will be required to produce method statements and plans in advance as required in the EMP for, Temporary Pedestrian and Traffic Management Plan, Drainage Plan, Erosion Control Plan, Waste Management Plan and Noise and Dust Control Plan, and a schedule of costs for implementation of mitigation measures.

162. It has been reported that it has been typical for contractors to put emphasis on the financial compensation for nuisances. This may be acceptable for some social impacts where evacuation is necessary or houses have been accidentally damaged, however it is not best international practice to accept payment for environmental impacts. It has been noted by NTDC that the approach of some contractors has been to pay money for nuisances rather than control impacts at source. If say erosion impacts are not controlled properly there could be serious environmental consequences such as landslides or runoff could cause fish kills in the rivers. Therefore, the practice of paying financial compensation for impacts should not be allowed and financial compensation will not be allowed as mitigation for environmental impacts or environmental nuisance.

163. During the preparation for the construction phase the future contractors must be prepared and primed to co-operate with the executing agency, project management, supervising consultants and local population in the mitigation of impacts. Furthermore the contractor must 39 be primed by including IEE and the EMP in the contract documentation. The contracts must require full implementation of the EMP and the contractor must be ready to engage capable and trained environmental management staff to audit the effectiveness and review mitigation measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP should be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency must be prepared for this. In this regard the NTDC (the EA) will also prepare resources to fulfill the requirements of the law and guidance prepared by EPA on the environmental aspects of projects and any updated recommendations in the EMP as the mitigation measures are rolled out and updated as necessary.

164. The requirements in the contract will include full implementation of all of the environmental mitigation measures in the EMP. (Some of the social requirements in the EMP will be carried out by the proponent NTDC vis a vis land acquisition and resettlement). The agreement with the contractor will include preparing all the above documentation in advance in the pre-construction phase with agreement from NTDC and the method statements and plans will subsequently become part of the contract documentation. The contractor will also be required to engage capable and trained staff or site agents to take responsibility for the environmental management at the working level and to monitor and report on the effectiveness and review mitigation measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency will be prepared for this. In this regard, the NTDC (the Implementing Agency) will also prepare resources to fulfill the requirements of the law and guide the contractors on the environmental aspects of construction. Recommendations, guidelines and initiatives promulgated by NTDC and EPA will also be incorporated in the revised EMP and updated as necessary.

D. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures During Construction

165. The source of the construction impacts will mainly be from removal of structures and vegetation, construction of access, minor earthworks to construct the towers and bases courses, re provisioning and repairing nearby pedestrian tracks.

1. Orientation for Contractor

166. Prior to the commencement of construction the contractor, all subcontractors and all his workers will need to be trained on the requirements for environmental management. In order to ensure that the contractor, subcontractors and workers understand and have the capacity to implement the environmental requirements and mitigation measures there will be regular and frequent training sessions and tool-box talks. Contractors tenders will be required to identify separately the resources and funds to be applied to the training and mitigation measures and contractors tenders shall identify named staff to supervise and responsible for mitigation measures for all works including but not limited to earthworks, drainage re-provisioning, erosion control, traffic management, materials management, noise and dust control, waste management. Engineering controls will be designed by contractor as mitigation measures and approved by the ESIC (supervising authority) prior to the commencement of the construction works. No construction works will commence until all mitigation measures are in place and approved by the supervising authority.

40

2. Advance planning of environmental mitigation measures

167. Removal of isolated trees: A significant proportion of the Project will run through agricultural land. There are numerous isolated trees on farms and homesteads that will need to be cut and will be compensated for under the provisions of the entitlement matrix in the LARP (Appendix 6). Surveys made all along the alignment indicate trees are present very near the project in many places but there should not be any need for further disturbance of trees in the works once the ROW has been cleared.

168. By the time construction commences the contractor will have been primed by including the revised EMP and environmental assessments in the bidding and contract documentation. The contractor will be required to produce method statements and plans in advance of commencement of construction as required in the EMP for:

(i) Drainage Management Plan (ii) Temporary Pedestrian and Traffic Management Plan. (iii) Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage Plan (iv) Waste Management Plan, (v) Noise and Dust Control Plan (vi) Safety Plan (vii) Material Management Plan

169. All the above plans will be submitted one month in advance of any construction activities to ESIC cell to check and agree and verify requirements from EPA have been complied with. A schedule of costs for environmental mitigation measures (including maintenance where applicable) should be agreed with the contractor before the construction commences. The implementation of mitigation measures shall be tied to payment milestones or a performance bond for an amount agreed with the contractor and NTDC shall be deposited by the contractor. The bond shall be forfeit in the event that environmental mitigation measures required in the EMP are not fully implemented.

3. Hydrological, drainage and irrigation impacts

170. The Project will be designed not to interfere with the drainage on adjacent lands and paths and to prevent soil erosion and retain the existing irrigation system in the operational phase. However in the construction stages there is the potential for the works to have impact on local water resources. There are numerous rivers, streams, irrigation and drainage channels that cross or are affected by the project. The plans to avoid and retain such drainage and irrigation works shall be included in the Drainage Management Plan and the contractors will include plans for any necessary temporary drains to cater for worst case flow. The designs will also provide for protection of the works that are in progress and for redistributing flash flows from prepared surfaces during heavy rain to reduce erosion and other impacts. The contractor(s) will be required to have a drainage engineer / erosion control officer to check implementation of the temporary drainage mitigation on site and make modifications on a daily basis as necessary.

41

171. To protect the drainage and irrigation system on surrounding land that may be affected by construction activities and contractors will incorporate the following design features to minimize alterations in the surface drainage near the project:

(i) Contractors will review the irrigation systems and irrigation structures potentially affected by construction of the Project. If the irrigation cannot be maintained they will provide and maintain alternative temporary irrigation structures for the construction phase. At the completion of construction the contractor(s) will re provision the irrigation structures disturbed by construction and agree with ESIC cell if redesign is required or if new structures will be constructed or if the original irrigation structures will be repaired. (ii) Re provisioned irrigation channels will capable to supply all the fields previously supplied with at least the volume of water supplied before the construction of the

4. Soil erosion and surface runoff

172. In the construction stages there is the potential for the works to have impact on local water resources. The works are quite close to some major streams and rivers in some places and there are several crossings of significant tributaries. There are potentially major impacts from all the works near the rivers and streams. The drainage designs for the Project should be cleared with the local drainage and irrigation authorities before works commence.

173. It is recommended that sedimentation facilities be set up at rivers where all working stations are within 100m of streams and rivers, to trap and settle out runoff from the works. Where wet works have to be pumped dry the waste water should first be passed through a proprietary sedimentation tank (or similar) to remove suspended particles before discharge at a location agreed with the ESIC cell. The contractor shall be required to have a dedicated drainage engineer and erosion control officer. Where works cross streams and rivers the preliminary designs for sedimentation facilities such as sediment traps, filter fabric fences, or straw bale barriers should be included as a line item before those new areas are cleared and opened up for construction works.

174. Professional experience suggests that it will be typical for contractors to claim that there is insufficient space to set up erosion control and sedimentation facilities along the working areas. Based upon observation it is not credible that there is no space and it is not acceptable that there are no opportunities to use at least some form of sediment basins sediment traps. It is recommended that preliminary designs for sedimentation facilities are included in the contracts and subsequently in the Erosion Control and Temporary Drainage plans. Combinations of alternative methods should be considered including but not necessarily limited to:

(i) schedule work so clearing and grading are done during the time of minimum rainfall. (ii) clear only areas essential for construction. (iii) locate potential area pollutant sources away from steep slopes, water bodies, and other critical areas. (iv) route construction traffic to avoid existing works or newly planted vegetation. (v) protect natural vegetation with fencing, tree armoring, and retaining walls or tree wells. (vi) stockpile topsoil and reapply to re-vegetate the site. (vii) cover and stabilize topsoil stockpiles. (viii) use wind erosion controls.

42

(ix) intercept runoff above disturbed slopes. Convey to permanent channel or storm drain. (x) on long or steep, disturbed, or man-made slopes, construct benches, terraces, or ditches at regular intervals to intercept runoff. (xi) use retaining walls. (xii) use check dams. (xiii) Install bioengineering in line with NTDC manuals and seed and fertilize. (xiv) use seeding and mulch/mats. (xv) use turfing. (xvi) use wildflower cover.

175. Stockpiles should be covered before heavy rain to prevent wash out due to runoff. Stockpiles should not be located within 20m of water courses and there should be an intervening vegetated buffer to control any un-expected run-off. As a long-term benefit of the project, the drainage infrastructure may be able to be modified as water harvesting structures to collect water for irrigation and other uses and such options should be discussed and investigated at the detailed design stage.

5. Water Quality Impacts

176. Water is a critical resource for the local community and resources will be protected during construction. Where works are in progress, erosion control and sedimentation facilities including sediment traps and straw bale barriers or combinations thereof will remain in place and be maintained throughout the works to protect local water resources. Lubricants, fuels and other hydrocarbons will be stored >100m away from water bodies. Solid wastes will be disposed of properly (not dumped in streams). Construction material and spoil stockpiles will be covered to reduce material loss and run-off and stockpiles will not be nearer than 100m to water bodies. Borrow sites will not be close to sources of drinking water in case of runoff.

177. If complaints are received, the incidents and possible sources of water supply disruption will be investigated by the contractor and the ESIC cell and where the complaint can be substantiated; water samples will be taken and analyzed based on the baseline monitoring results obtained in the preconstruction stage. Samples will be taken as soon after the complaint as possible and analyses immediately and again two weeks after the complaint to determine if water quality has been restored. The criteria will be based on the national standard.

6. Water Resources Impacts

178. It is assumed that ample water will be available and local water resources could be used as sufficient yield is generally available. However the drainage system and water resources on surrounding land will be affected by construction activities as follows: a) local water supplies will need to be tapped to meet campsite and construction requirements, so bringing project based water use into competition with local use; b) surface and subsurface water resources in the selected sections could be contaminated by fuel and chemical spills, or by solid waste and effluents generated by the kitchens and toilets at construction campsites; c) natural streams and irrigation channels may become silted by borrow material (earth) in the runoff from the construction area, workshops and equipment washing-yards.

179. Measures to mitigate the adverse impact on water resources and surface drainage patterns have been incorporated into the other drainage mitigation measures. The contractors 43 will also carry out the following measures to mitigate the impact of tapping local community water resources, where required:

180. Availability of water will be assessed to evaluate the impact on community resources. Project water will be obtained without depleting local village supplies.

181. Camps will be located at least 100m away from the nearest local settlement to prevent the contamination of community-owned water resources.

182. The contractors will be required to maintain close liaison with local communities to ensure that any potential conflicts related to common resource utilization for project purposes are resolved quickly.

183. Guidelines will be established to minimize the wastage of water during construction operations and at campsites.

184. Availability of water will be assessed to evaluate the impact on community resources. Project water will be obtained without depleting local village supplies.

185. Camps will be located at least 100m away from the nearest local settlement to prevent the contamination of community-owned water resources.

186. The contractors will be required to maintain close liaison with local communities to ensure that any potential conflicts related to common resource utilization for project purposes are resolved quickly.

187. Guidelines will be established to minimize the wastage of water during construction operations and at campsites.

188. The water ways and drainage streams en-route of the subproject project should not be impeded by the works and the scale of the works does not warrant hydrological monitoring. Refer to attachment 7 for likely impacts upon waterways and ponds (51 line spans cross water courses or canals). The line crosses the waterways (canals and watercourses) at different places. This crossing, however, is between two power pylons and in itself has no impact upon the water way, even during construction the tower foundations are located away form the waterway. Line stringing is by means of tension stringing equipment which has no impact on the waterways.

189. During construction, machinery and transport will be used by the contractor, both have potential of causing contamination to under ground and above ground water assets .There is need to compile temporary drainage management plan one month before commencement of works. Proper installation of temporary drainage and erosion control before works within 50m of water bodies should be done. Proper construction of temporary drainage and erosion control measures, maintenance and management including training of operators and other workers to avoid pollution of water bodies by the considerate operation of construction machinery and equipment. Storage of lubricants, fuels and other hydrocarbons in self-contained dedicated enclosures should be >50m away from water bodies. Proper disposal of solid waste from construction activities and labor camps. Cover the construction material and spoil stockpiles with a suitable material to reduce material loss and sedimentation and avoid stockpiling near to water bodies. Topsoil stripped material shall not be stored where natural drainage will be disrupted. Borrow sites (if required) should not be close to sources of drinking water.

44

190. Wetland: There is no wet land in the vicinity of the sub project except for a small check dam ( Dam for collection of water during rains) which is in the vicinity of the line route, the line , however, does not traverse over the small check dam . There is need to protect this one water resource from possible fuel and oily spills form construction machinery and transport used during the construction phase of the subproject. The measures that need to be employed include: .Avoid disposal of wash water, solid waste and discarded packing etc. on wetlands; Piling up of loose material should be done in segregated areas to arrest washing out of soil. In addition, these materials should not be tipped or stockpiled near wetlands. Leftovers from concrete works should not be dumped close to wetlands. Avoid temporary structures or stockpiling within banks of river and on wetlands. Special measures will be adopted to minimize impacts on the wild birds, such as avoiding construction activities during the critical periods of breeding and feeding. Staff working on the project should be given clear orders, not to shoot, snare or trap any bird. Contractor will prevent the workers from hunting and fishing for water birds and fish resources, etc. Food and fuel to be provided by contractor local villages. Erection of towers in the wetlands will be avoided as far as possible. However, at places where realignment of the transmission is unavoidable, towers with maximum span will be used to minimize the impacts.

7. Waste Management and Spoil Disposal

191. There may be some surplus rock and soil based materials. The waste management plan (WMP) will be required to ensure waste from construction is managed properly and to reduce, reuse and recycle waste wherever possible. Contractors will initially review the detailed design consultant’s options for stockpiling and disposal locations for cut surface materials and reconfirm or propose alternative disposal locations for agreement with NTDC and local authorities. The contractor will prepare the WMP one month before the commencement of construction with disposal sites identified for agreement by project supervision consultants (CSC/ESIC/NTDC). The WMP will cover all aspects of construction waste disposal. It is preferred that government land is used for dumping of material. If private land is to be used for the purpose of dumping it shall commence only after written permission from the land owner is checked by the ESIC in NTDC.

192. The mitigation measures in the waste management plan (WMP) will include but not necessarily be limited to:

(i) Spoil will not be disposed of in rivers and streams or other natural drainage path. (ii) Spoil will not be disposed of on fragile slopes, flood ways, wetland, farmland, forest, religious or other culturally sensitive areas or areas where a livelihood is derived. (iii) Use surplus spoil for local repair works to fill eroded gullies and depression areas and degraded land in consultation with local community. (iv) Dispose of spoil will be to disused quarries and abandoned borrow pits. (v) Disposed spoil will be spread in 15cm and compacted to optimum moisture content , covered with topsoil, landscaped and provided with drainage and vegetation to prevent erosion following NTDC/GESU guidelines10. 8. Noise

10 Guide to Slope Protection Works–. NTDC GOP 2007. 45

193. Powered mechanical equipment such as generators, excavators, piling rigs, stabilizers and concrete-mixing plant can generate significant noise and vibration. Whereas various modern machines are acoustically designed to generate low noise levels there is not much evidence that acoustically insulated plant is available in Pakistan. The cumulative effects from several machines can be significant and may cause significant nuisances.

194. To minimize impacts the contractors should be required by the Cell to (i) maintain and service all equipment to minimize noise levels, and (ii) locate equipment to minimize nuisances and (iv) install acoustic insulation or use portable noise barriers where practicable to limit noise at sensitive receivers. Insulation should be provided to minimize noise impacts such that the measured noise at the edge of the works nearest residential areas will be less than 50dB(A)Leq during nighttime (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) and 75 dB(A) Leq at other times during the day.

195. There are a few schools near the project. The occasional commercial premises and some residences are also set back from the likely working areas. Where schools are nearby, the contractor shall discuss with the ESIC cell and the school principals the agreed time for operating these machines and completely avoid machine use near schools during examination times. Where noise is a major consideration (say outside places of religious worship) construction should be avoided at sensitive times. As a fall back option to control noise, portable barriers can be introduced creased using heavy thick ply-board or corrugated metal sheet. In addition to the physical effect of mitigating dust and noise the installation of such measures should be discussed with the local population and serve as a means for further public consultation during implementation and assist in public relations.

9. Air Quality and Dust Control

a. Dust control

196. The location of the residences, places of worship, schools, hospitals and civic cultural and other heritage sites has been reviewed above. Some of the residences in the settlements are close enough to be disturbed by dust. Water is available in the study area although surplus water may not always be available to suppress dust at many locations in the dry season. Therefore as a general approach it is recommended that if works are within 15m of any sensitive receivers, the contractor should install segregation between the works at the edge and the sensitive receivers. The segregation should be easily erectable 2.5m high tarpaulin sheet and designed to retain dust and provide a temporary visual barrier to the works. Where dust is the major consideration the barrier can take the form of tarpaulins strung between two poles mounted on a concrete base. These can be moved along the as the work proceeds.

197. Noise and dust were recognized by the local population as concerns but were considered to be acceptable nuisances and that there were benefits from future improved travel conditions. However in the dry season, when most of the construction will be carried out noise and dust will be significant concerns for the general public in consultation. Therefore in line with good practice mitigation measures are proposed to control all dusty materials at source. Also works will not take place at night.

(i) If the working surfaces become dry and dusty, water will be sprinkled on the and exposed surfaces when work is carried out within 50m of the side Sensitive Receivers.

46

(ii) No work will be carried out during the night (2100hrs to 0700hrs). (iii) If works give rise to complaints over dust, the contractor shall investigate the cause and review and propose alternative mitigation measures before works recommence. (iv) All heavy equipment and machinery will be fitted in full compliance with the national and local regulations. (v) Fuel-efficient and well-maintained haulage trucks will be employed to minimize exhaust emissions. Smoke belching vehicles and equipment will not be allowed and will be removed from the project. (vi) Vehicles transporting soil, sand and other construction materials will be covered with tarpaulin sheets to avoid impact from dust. Speeds limits will be established for vehicles within the works sites and on unpaved edge areas of the project .

b. Soil Contamination

198. Possible contamination of soil may occur from oils and chemicals at workshop areas, and equipment washing-yards. The contamination may limit the future use of land for agricultural purposes.

199. The following practices will be adopted to minimize the risk of soil contamination:

(i) The contractors will be required to instruct and train their workforce in the storage and handling of materials and chemicals that can potentially cause soil contamination. (ii) If waste oils or other contaminants are accidentally spilled on open ground the waste including the top 2cm of any contaminated soil shall be disposed of as chemical waste to a disposal site acceptable to the NTDC and agreed with the local authority / community. Debris generated by the dismantling of existing structures will be recycled subject to the suitability of the material in line with the MMP.

200. Solid waste generated during construction and at worker campsites will be properly treated and safely disposed of only in demarcated waste disposal sites identified and agreed with DOW and the local community.

201. Control measures for oily residues, lubricants and refueling are prescribed in the EMP. The maintenance yards that will be created will have dedicated drainage which can capture run- off. Oily residues and fuel should be captured at source and refueling and maintenance should take place in dedicated areas away from surface water resources. With these measures in place no significant impacts should be arise in construction.

10. Worker camps, maintenance yards and canteens operation

202. Uncontrolled worker camp operations can cause significant impacts. The sites for worker camps will be planned in advance in consultation with the local community.

203. In consultation the public have expressed concerns about nuisances from construction camps. The main issues of concern are uncontrolled defecation by construction workers, unmanaged disposal of solid and liquid wastes into watercourses, natural drains and improper disposal of storm water and black water in the village areas. The contractors will therefore adopt 47 good management practices to ensure that fuels and chemicals, raw sewage, wastewater effluent, and construction debris/scarified material is disposed of under controlled conditions to reduce the risk of contamination.

204. Prior to the close out of the Project construction in any area the worker camps will be removed and restored to the original condition as far as is reasonably practicable to the satisfaction of the and the local authority.

205. Before construction commences arrangements will be reconfirmed by the construction contractors and notified to ESIC Cell / NTDC for approval as follows:

(i) Confirm location of work camps in consultation with ESIC and local authorities with location subject to approval by the ESIC. If possible, camps shall not be located near settlements or near drinking water supply intakes. (ii) Cutting of trees shall be avoided and removal of vegetation shall be minimized. (iii) Water and sanitary facilities shall be provided for workers and employees. (iv) Construction camps will be established in areas with adequate natural drainage channels in order to facilitate flow of the treated effluents. (v) Portable lavatories or at least pit latrines will be installed and open defecation shall be discouraged and prevented by keeping lavatory facilities clean at all times. (vi) Wastewater effluent from contractors’ workshops and equipment washing-yards will be passed through gravel/sand beds to remove oil/grease contaminants before discharging it into natural streams. Oil and grease residues shall be stored in drums awaiting disposal in line with the agreed Waste Management Plan. (vii) Predictable wastewater effluent discharges from construction works shall have the necessary permits from EPA before the works commence. (viii) Solid waste and sewage shall be managed according to the national and local regulations. As a rule, solid waste must not be dumped, buried or burned at or near the project site, but shall be disposed of to the nearest site approved by the local authority. (ix) The Contractor shall organize and maintain a waste separation, collection and transport system. (x) The Contractor shall document that all liquid and solid hazardous and non- hazardous waste are separated, collected and disposed of according to the given requirements and regulations. (xi) At the conclusion of the project, all debris and waste shall be removed. All temporary structures, including office buildings, shelters and toilets shall be removed by the contractor and exposed areas shall be planted with suitable vegetation, to the satisfaction of the and the local authority (xii) The ESIC Cell shall inspect and report that the camp has been vacated and restored to pre-project conditions as far as is reasonably practicable.

11. Safety of the Workforce

206. In order to maintain proper sanitation around construction sites, temporary toilets will need to be provided. Construction worker camps will not be located in settlement areas or near sensitive water resources.

207. The comfort and health of the workforce and surrounding local residents may be affected to some extent from emissions of dust, noise and construction litter. The chances of serious

48 injury or accident during the construction activities are moderate and can be mitigated by safety training and monitoring. Insufficient toilet provisions may give encouragement to defecation in the open and may increase transfer of water or air borne diseases. Local labor will be used wherever possible and where worker camps are needed they will include proper sanitation facilities (at lease pit latrines and showering facilities).

208. Existing health services in the localities near the project such as health posts and clinics have limited resources and may lack sufficient medicines and health personnel to accommodate any additional patients from the construction workforce. Therefore in the construction stages the contractor shall provide first aid facilities for the workers on the and at the worker camps with at least one qualified first-aider.

12. Social Facilities and Health

209. Existing health services in the localities near the project such as health posts and clinics have limited resources and may lack sufficient medicines and health personnel to accommodate any additional patients from the construction workforce. Therefore in the construction stages the contractor shall provide first aid facilities for the workers on the and at the worker camps with at least one qualified first-aider or nurse present at all times. It is recommended that the workforce be given access to a trained doctor at least once per week for routine checks and medical examinations if necessary.

13. Enhancements or Changes in Scope

210. Opportunities for enhancements (or changes in scope) can be assessed prior to construction and proposed enhancements will be discussed with the local population to identify stewardship of any planting and also to serve as a vehicle for further public consultation at the implementation stage and to assist in public relations.

211. Where rock based materials, gravels and sands are extracted it is a requirement to rehabilitate the re-vegetation of these areas with indigenous species and this has been a concern of local people in the public consultation. Following the completion of the landscaping will take place and overall the appearance will be improved.

E. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures During Operation

212. The alignment seeks to provide a buffer distance from the corridor, keeping vehicles away from sensitive receivers in the operational phase as far as possible. It is difficult with a project of this magnitude to achieve an alignment that make sure all residences or commercial premises or schools will far enough away from the project not to be affected in any way by traffic emissions Therefore air quality will be monitored in the operational phase to provide reassurance of the sustainability of the subproject. NTDC/the Government will also prevent encroachment and enforce the exclusion zone and preserve the buffer distances to residences within the substation.

213. No alignment could avoid crossing some rivers and streams and protection of water resources must also be monitored in the operational phase to reassure the public that the project does not make any long term impact on the water quality. Therefore chemical water quality and the status of the river invertebrate communities will also be monitored in the 49 operational phase as an indicator of the sustainability of the rivers’ ecology and to provide reassurance that the impacts were mitigated acceptably.

214. The alignment must also inevitably cross plantations or forests and the success of compensatory planting must also be monitored in the operational phase to reassure relevant authorities that the project impacts have been successfully mitigated and that the long term impacts on plantations or forests are acceptable.

1. Air Quality

215. It is not likely that the Projects will give rise to any significant accumulations of air emissions in the operational stage.

216. Air quality monitoring for of nitrogen dioxide and PM10 as a key indicator pollutants should be carried out after the opening and at yearly intervals for 3 years prove the acceptability of the project in air quality terms.

2. Success of compensatory planting

217. To ensure the success of enhancement planting and survival of the planted trees it is recommended that an audit of the enhancements and other trees and shrubs under the Project transmission line be undertaken by the NSIC after the initial cutting and planting has been commenced to review conditions and maintain the planted trees

3. Encroachment and community awareness

218. The transmission line alignment will not displace any household. Resettlement and compensation will be dealt with before construction starts. However experience suggests that there will be additional encroachment. In addition some families may seek to resettle within the ROW. During the design phase and subsequently in the course of construction and operation awareness campaigning with the local public will be included in the project and the ESIC will try to foster public stewardship of the Project to prevent the encroachment. Any areas where local encroachment into the ROW or immediately adjacent to the ROW has taken place will be identified and reported to the ESIC. Based on the proposed alignments these should not be difficult tasks and this can be conducted as to minimize adverse impacts and maximize benefits.

219. The Social Impact Assessment (SIA) study and LARP have been completed in tandem with this EIA for the whole of the project.

4. Effects of frequency

220. Transmission frequency used is 50 Hz , which is considered extremely low frequency, impacts of this reduce rapidly with distance and there are no residential or other buildings that are located at a distance that could be impacted by electric and magnetic fields, See IFC guideline ‘Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines- Electric Power Transmission and Distribution’, April, 30, 2007.

V. INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

221.. The EMP is based on the type, extent and duration of the identified environmental impacts, this includes disaster management. The EMP has been prepared by reference to and following the best practices (these include EPA stipulations/guidelines and where EPA is silent International guidelines and the ADB Environmental Assessment Guidelines (footnote 2) (see paragraph 21 and Annexure 2 for various standards).

222.. It is important that the recommendations and mitigation measures are carried out according to the spirit of the environmental assessment process and in line with the guidelines. NTDC tender/contract documents do include a clause (Annexure ‘C’ of the tender document) which requires the contractor to adhere to the EMP. In this section, the mitigation measures that are required, for the power transmission enhancements, to reduce residual impact to acceptable levels and achieve the expected outcomes of the project are discussed. The EMP matrix is presented as Appendix 2. The impact prediction (Section IV) has played a vital role in reconfirming typical mitigation measures and in identifying some different approaches based on the feasibility and detailed design assumptions and any alternatives available at this stage.

223.. Prior to the implementation and construction of the TXL, the EMP shall be amended and reviewed by the NTDC after detailed designs are complete. Such a review shall be based on reconfirmation and additional information on the assumptions made at the feasibility stage on alignment, location scale and expected operating conditions of the Project. For example, if there are any additional TXLs or extension of the substation boundaries to be included, the designs may be amended and then the performance and evaluation schedules to be implemented during project construction and operation can be updated, and costs estimates can be revised. Major changes in scope of work will necessitate a fresh environmental assessment and approval of the new IEE by ADB.

224.. The EMP must be reviewed by the project management and approved by the PEPA before any construction activity is initiated. This is also an ADB requirement in order to take account of any subsequent changes and fine tuning of the proposals. It is recommended that before the works contract is worked out in detail and before pre-qualification, a full extent of the environmental requirements of the Project (IEE/EIA) are included in the bidding documents including the EMP. Past environmental performance of contractors and awareness of environmentally responsible procurement should also be used as indicators for prequalification of contractors.

225. In order to facilitate the implementation of the EMP, during the preparation for the construction phase, the future contractors must be prepared to cooperate with the local population in the mitigation of impacts. Furthermore, the contractor must be primed through the contract documentation and ready to implement all the mitigation measures and engage trained environmental management staff to audit the effectiveness and review mitigation measures as the project proceeds. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the mid term review of loan conditions and the executing agency must be prepared for this. Six monthly monitoring reports have to be submitted to ADB on the effectiveness of the EMP implementation

226. The details of the EMP is given in Appendix 2 in the form of the matrix. The impacts have been classified into those relevant to the design/preparation stage, construction stage and operation and maintenance stage. The matrix provides details of the mitigation measures recommended for each of the identified impacts, approximate location of the mitigation sites, time span of the implementation of mitigation measures, an analysis of the associated costs and 51 the responsibility of the institution. The institutional responsibility has been specified for the purpose of the implementation and the supervision. The matrix is supplemented with a monitoring plan (Appendix 3) for the performance indicators. An estimation of the associated costs for the monitoring is given with the plan including physical mitigation costs. The EMP has been prepared following the best practices and the ADB environmental assessment guidelines.

227. Prior to implementation of the Project, NTDC needs to comply with several environmental requirements, such as obtaining PEPA clearance (“No Objection Certificate”, compiling acceptable EMP and Clearance Certificate) under PEPAct (guidelines and regulations, 2000), securing tree removal and replanting permits from the Department of Forests and any permissions required from the Irrigation Department and Department of Wildlife Services. NTDC will also need to confirm that contractors and their suppliers have complied with all statutory requirements and have appropriate and valid licenses and permits for all powered mechanical equipment, permissions for use of local water supplies in line with the all environmental requirements (e.g. and local authority conditions).

228. The EMP (Appendix 2) was prepared taking into account the lack of capacity of the NTDC to conduct environmental assessments of the Subproject and it is envisaged and strongly recommended that for the Subproject, NTDC engage an environmental specialist with at least 10 years experience in environmental management, 5 years site experience in environmental monitoring and auditing to guide the subsequent formal assessment and submission process under the PEPAct and monitor compliance with the EMP. As of January 2007, NTDC has created environmental and social impact cell (ESIC) under General Manager, GSC (this is now being changed as the ESIC is now being placed under the General |Manager (Projects) . Attachment 3 presents the changed structure of NTDC’s implementation formations . . Currently, there are two environmental staff members (one Deputy Manager and one Assistant manager). At this stage, staff members and the consultants are responsible for addressing environmental concerns for the MFF potentially involving hundreds kilometers of power transmission lines and Grid Substation in later tranches. Most of the environmental work is delegated to consultants. Whereas there is a limited level of awareness, NTDC staff needs more training and resources if they are to effectively provide quality control and oversight for the EMP implementation. Specific areas for immediate attention are in EMP auditing, environmentally responsible procurement, air, water and noise pollution management and ecological impact mitigation. It is recommended that an environmental specialist consultant with 10 years experience covers this aspect full time for at least the first 6 months of the MFF project and that on a call off basis with local support, those services are retained for the life of the MFF loan. Attachment 3 2 presents the institutional structure of NTDC where social and environmental assessment and implementation of plans is concerned

229. For this Subproject and the whole MFF, the environmental staff for the project implementation team has been appointed prior to the outset of the implementation design stage to ensure compliance with the statutory obligations under the PEPAct. It is also mentioned that the NTDC will process some in house capability such as Environmental and Social Cell and as soon as possible, potentially suitable staff are nominated to be trained and man the unit at least on an inaugural basis. Due to the lack of in-house capability, at this point, environmental specialist consultants for the project implementation cell must address all environmental aspects in the detailed design. It is recommended that the project management unit (PMU) will have one technical manager (senior environmental specialist) to address all environmental aspects in the detailed design and contracting stages. In addition, there will be an environmental specialist(s) to cover the implementation of environmental mitigation measures in the project packages. Both shall be members of the supervising consultant’s team.

52

The environmental specialists will: a. work in the PMU with NTDC to ensure all statutory environmental submissions under PEPAct and other environmentally related legislation are thoroughly implemented;

b. work in the PMU with NTDC to ensure all environmental requirements and mitigation measures from the environmental assessment of Subprojects are included in the contract prequalification and bidding documents;

c. work with NTDC to execute any additional IEE and IEE requirements needed to the fine tuning of the Subprojects and that environmental performance targets are included in the contracts prior to project commencement;

d. work in the PMU with NTDC to ensure all environmental requirements and mitigation measures from the IEEs and IEEs and environmental performance criteria are incorporated in the Subproject contracts or variations and that the EMP is effectively implemented;

e. work with management consultant, supervising consultant and contractors to manage and monitor the implementation of the project EMP.

f. Overall implementation of the EMP will become NTDC’s responsibility. Other parties to be involved in implementing the EMP are as follows: 230. Contractors: responsible for implementing all measures required to mitigate environmental impacts during construction;

231. Government agencies: such as provincial environmental agencies, and bureaus, at the local level, will be responsible for monitoring the compliance with implementation of environmental conditions related to statutory approvals of Subprojects in their areas.

232. NTDC Board of Directors: responsible to ensure that sufficient timely resources are allocated to process the environmental assessments and to monitor implementation of all construction and operational mitigation measures required to mitigate environmental impacts.

233. Considering that other government agencies that need to be involved in implementing the EMP, training workshops should be conducted at every 6 months or twice each year, for the first 2 years (and annually thereafter) to share the monitoring report on the implementation of the EMP, to share lessons learned in the implementation and to decide on remedial actions, if unexpected environmental impacts occur.

234. The monitoring plan (Appendix 3) was designed based on the project cycle. During the preconstruction period, the monitoring activities will focus on (i) conducting baseline monitoring; (ii) checking the contractor’s bidding documents, particularly to ensure that all necessary environmental requirements have been included; and (iii) checking that the contract documents’ references to environmental mitigation measures requirements have been incorporated as part of contractor’s assignment and making sure that any advance works (protection of specimens and transplantation, design of TXL or Grid Substation, etc.) are carried out in good time. Where detailed design is required (e.g. for power transmission lines and avoidance of other resources), the inclusion and checking of designs must be carried out. During the construction period, the monitoring activities will focus on ensuring that environmental mitigation measures are 53 implemented, and some performance indicators will be monitored to record the Project’s environmental performance and to guide any remedial action to address unexpected impacts. Monitoring activities during project operation will focus on recording environmental performance and proposing remedial actions to address unexpected impacts. The potential to use local community groups' contacts for monitoring should be explored as part of the activities in setting up the Environmental and Social Cell which should have regular meetings with the nongovernmental organizations as a matter of good practice and to discuss matters of mutual concern.

235. At this stage, due to the modest scale of the TXL and by generally keeping to non- sensitive and non-critical areas, the construction and operational impacts will be manageable and no insurmountable impacts are predicted providing that the EMP is implemented to its full extent and required in the contract documents. However, experience suggests that some contractors may not be familiar with this approach or may be reluctant to carry out some measures. In order that the contractors are fully aware of the implications of the EMP and to ensure compliance, it is recommended that the cost of environmental measures be treated separately in the tender documentation and that payment milestones are linked to environmental performance, vis-a-vis the carrying out of the EMP.

236. The effective implementation of the EMP will be audited as part of the loan conditions and the executing agency must be prepared for this. In this regard, the NTDC must be prepared to guide the design engineers and contractors on the environmental aspects.

237. The NTDC procedures for handling Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) need to be strengthened and the maintenance of transformers need to be based on the manufacturer's instructions. There needs to be a performance evaluation procedure prescribed and followed for each power transformer. In working areas where PCBs are handled, it is necessary to monitor the levels of chlorinated solvents. In case of emergencies, the first step is to attempt to control the spread of the liquid, this is especially relevant during transportation. In case of spills, emergency measures need to be taken by specially trained personnel and wearing protective clothes. An oil absorptive material is a useful tool and needs to be spread over the spill. All equipment and surfaces exposed to the spill need to be washed with solvent. The best international procedures and guidelines need be followed, one such guideline is the UNEP ‘PCB Transformers and Capacitors – From Management to Reclassification and Disposal, May 2002’. NTDC, however, prohibits supply of any PCB based equipment. This Subproject is related to TXL construction where PCBs are not relevant anyway. Even new substations do not have any PCB based equipment. 238. NTDC already prohibits use of PCBs in new power transformers, there is, however, need to prepare an inventory of any PCB carrying equipment in the system and all such equipment be replaced. The maintenance instructions prepared by the Technical Services Group needs to be reviewed and revised to add PCB based equipment maintenance and a procedure for handling any PCB spills. The Kot Lakhpat workshop already follows. Such procedures, however, these need to be reviewed and upgraded in light of best International practice. This would include provision of special clothing, availability of oil absorptive solvents, and availability of steel containers. Training to staff on oil spills and special care during transportation of equipment using PCBs.

54

VI. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

A. Approach to Public Consultation 239. The public consultation process with various stakeholders has been approached so as to involve public and other stakeholders from the earliest stages. Public consultation has taken place during the planning and design and viewpoints of the stakeholders have been taken into account and their concerns and suggestions for possible improvements have been included where appropriate. Much of the public consultation process to date has revolved around concerns for the mitigation of construction impacts and the possible side effects from the proximity of high voltage power lines. Figure 4 presents public consultation.

Figure 4: Public consultation

240. There is also ongoing consultation for land acquisition and resettlement (LARP) and the completion of the Resettlement Plan is documented separately. It is expected that this process will continue through all stages of the Subproject in order to accommodate stakeholders' aspirations and to orient the stakeholders positively towards the project implementation and where possible to harness cooperation over access issues in order to facilitate timely completion.

241. The public consultation process has commenced in the initial feasibility stages (prior to construction) in order to disclose the project information to the stakeholders and record feedback regarding the proposed project and preferences. The stakeholders involved in the process were the population likely to be impacted along the route of the proposed power lines; the village leaders, schoolteachers, district administration. 55

B. Public Consultation Process

242. Prior to the implementation of the consultation, feedback, etc. has been carried out to support this IEE and recorded. The focus of attention has been the population near the proposed TXL that may be affected by the Subproject expansion. The level of engagement varied from the stakeholder to stakeholder with some registering no major comment but it is noted that none registered any outright opposition to Subproject.

243. The disclosure of the Program in advance and subsequent consultation with stakeholders has advantages in the environmental assessment and mitigation of impacts. Public consultation can also provide a conduit for the improvement of the project implementation to better serve the stakeholders.

244. The environmental assessment process under the PEPAct only requires the disclosure to the public after the relevant EPA to be in strict adherence to the rules has accepted the statutory IEE/EIA. In this IEE, the consultation process was performed to satisfy the ADB requirements. The locations of consultation and people consulted are listed in the full table of public consultation presented in Appendix 4.

C. Results of Public Consultation

245. The consultations identified some potential environmental and social impacts and perceptions of the affected communities. The public consultation resulted to 240 responses in May 2008 –Preliminary field survey was carried out during the period 18 th. To 21 st. March 2008 and detailed survey was carried out during the period 15 th. To 22 nd. March 2008(Appendix 4). Separate consultation meetings were held with men and women groups, land owners, tenants and general community at villages. The groups unanimously showed their willingness to let NTDC establish the proposed 220 kV TXL on the selected route and to provide their land on compensation of damages to crops and trees for it, preferably against a negotiated market price. But they said they are not willing to let compensation to be estimated through the district revenue department, which always under values the compensation and there are reportedly several outstanding grievances and prolonged court litigation cases in the district. The community supports the expansion and upgrading of the power line. The landowners insisted for negotiation on compensation of crops and trees and asked for fair and handsome compensation on market rate. The inhabitants near the TXL expect more stable power supply in the region, with lesser complaints of load shedding, with the provision of a higher voltage connection. Community requested for electrification of affected villages. Poor people requested for unskilled and semi skilled jobs on priority basis with the contractors during implementation of the Project. No land acquisition and resettlement is involved in this Project.

246. On the basis of the consultations so far, it appears that the Project will have no insurmountable environmental and social impacts but NTDC will have to make sure that compensation and assistance amounts are assessed justly and that skilled and unskilled employment should be preferentially given to the Affected Persons as far as is reasonably practicable.

56

VII. CONCLUSIONS

A. Findings and Recommendations

247. This study was carried out at the planning stage of the Project. Primary and secondary data were used to assess the environmental impacts. The potential environmental impacts were assessed in a comprehensive manner. The report has provided a picture of all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project, and recommended suitable mitigation measures. This study recommends that some further follow up studies be undertaken during project processing in order to meet the ADB requirements.

248. There are some further considerations for the planning stages such as obtaining clearance for the Project under the PEPAct but environmental impacts from the power enhancements will mostly take place during the construction stage. There are also some noise impacts and waste management issues for the operational stage that must be addressed in the detailed design and through environmentally responsible procurement. At the detailed design stage, the number of and exact locations for transmission tower enhancements may change subject to detailed surveys but the impacts are likely to be broadly similar at most locations and impacts have been reviewed in the environmental impact section of this IEE report.

249. There are a number of key actions required in the detailed design phase. Prior to construction, the NTDC must receive clearance certification from the PEPA and NTDC must complete an EMP that will be accepted by the PEPA and agreed by the contractor prior to signing the contract. The information provided in this report can form the basis of any further submission to PEPA as required in the future.

250. The line alignment is restricted to the tower placements. There is to be no compensation for land, however, crops and some trees will be compensated to the concerned parties, this compensation has been presented in the LARP. The present alignment is based on design, and its approval by NTDC in the future may be need to make revisions to the line route, which will entail a revision to the IEE/LARP. A social impact assessment and resettlement action plan (LARP) has been completed in tandem with this IEE for the whole Subproject. The study (LARP) has: (i) Examined and assess the overall social and poverty profile of the Subproject area on the basis of the primary and secondary data sources and preparation of a socio-economic profile of the project districts. (ii) Prepared a social and poverty analysis, taking into account socio-economic and poverty status of the Subproject area of influence, including the nature, extent and determinants of poverty in the Subproject area including assessment. In addition, estimation of the likely socioeconomic and poverty reduction impacts of the project should be included. (iii) Held consultations with relevant officials from the government and other relevant officials, including consultation with affected communities to assess responses to the project and ascertain the nature and scope of local participation in project planning and implementation. (iv) Identified, analyzed and, where appropriate, quantified the potential resettlement impacts (minimal) of the proposed Project on the area and the population. 251. Baseline monitoring activities should be carried out during project detailed design stage to establish the baseline of parameters for checking during the construction stage. The 57 monitoring schedule (Appendix 3) recommends monitoring on two occasions at six locations along the Dera Ghazi Khan–Loralai TXL Subproject. The results should be integrated with the contract documentation to establish performance action thresholds, pollution limits and contingency plans for the contractor’s performance.

252. During the commissioning phase, noise monitoring should ensure that statutory requirements have been achieved. Monitoring activities during project operation will focus on periodic recording environmental performance and proposing remedial actions to address any unexpected impacts.

B. Summary and Conclusions

253. Construction of Dera Ghazi Khan to Loralai double circuit transmission is a feasible and sustainable option from the power transmission, engineering, environmental, and socioeconomic points of view. Implementation of the EMP is required and the environmental impacts associated with the Subproject need to be properly mitigated, and the existing institutional arrangements are available. Additional human and financial resources will be required by NTDC to complete the designs and incorporate the recommendations effectively and efficiently in the contract documents, linked to payment milestones. The proposed mitigation and management plans are practicable but require additional resources.

254. This IEE, including the EMP, should be used as a basis for an environmental compliance program and be included as an Appendix to the contract. The EMP shall be reviewed at the detailed design stage. In addition, any subsequent conditions issued by PEPA as part of the environmental clearance should also be included in the environmental compliance program. Therefore, continued monitoring of the implementation of mitigation measures, the implementation of the environmental conditions for work and environmental clearance, and monitoring of the environmental impact related to the operation of the Project should be properly carried out and reported at least twice per year as part of the project performance report. Six monthly monitoring reports have to be submitted to ADB on effectiveness of the EMP implementation.

I. MONITORING PLAN

1. NTDC have established the Environmental and Social Impacts Cell (ESIC) manned by two professionals and support staff .The cell is attached with both the implementing Agency , the Chief Engineer EHV (General Manager Grid System Construction , NTDC ) and the planning agency Project Director Technical Assistance (General Manager Planning , NTDC) . The NTDC instructional arrangement with respect to social and environmental monitoring and implementation is presented as follows:

II. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

2. The implementation and monitoring of the social and environmental program involves a number of agencies including, NTDC as the implementing agencies, the Environmental Protection Agencies of Sindh, Provincial Government Sindh.

A. National Transmission and Dispatch Company 3. NTDC as the prime executing agency (EA), bears the overall responsibility for the preparation, implementation and financing of all tasks set out in this IEE/ LARP, as well as, inter-agency coordination, and monitoring and evaluation activities required the LARP preparation, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Institutionally, NTDC has three functional divisions, namely the Planning, Projects and Grid Station Construction divisions. 4. The Planning Division is responsible for planning and preparation of subprojects and keeping liaison with the Government of Pakistan and Asian Development Bank (ADB), as the donor of this Project. This division is currently being assisted by the PPTA Consultants11, including a Environmental Expert for the preparation of the IEE and Resettlement Expert responsible for LARP preparation), in preparing the identified subprojects in line with the ADB Policies and obtaining approval from the donor ADB. 5. The Projects Division is responsible for the overall management and coordination of the subprojects. Its major functions include, keeping regular liaison with ADB and relevant departments of the federal and provincial governments, updating of IEE/LARP and its monitoring and evaluation activities. In addition, the Project Management Unit takes care of the overall coordination and liaison with the Government of Pakistan and ADB. It will be assisted by the Project Management Consultants team, including a Resettlement Specialist, to be hired shortly12. Secondly, the Environmental and Social Impact Cell is responsible for the updating of and internal monitoring of IEEs/LARPs of approved Subprojects. It will be assisted by the Resettlement Specialist in the external Monitoring and Evaluation Consultants team to be hired shortly.13 6. The Grid Station Construction Division is responsible for implementing the Subprojects, including IEE/LARP preparation/updating and implementation. This large division is divided into two geographical regions, each headed by a Chief Engineer. They are EHV – I (Northern Region, Lahore) and EHV – II (Southern Region, Hyderabad). The Rohri to Gumbat 132kV Transmission Line Subproject falls under the jurisdiction of EHV – II (Hyderabad), where a Project Director as head of the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), along with an Executive

74 Appendix 3

Engineer and Sub-Divisional Officers (Junior Engineers) will be managing the construction works. 7. Besides, each regional EHV has an in-house Land Acquisition Collector (LAC), who along with his field staff, an Assistant Land Acquisition Officer (Tehsildar) and Patwaris will take care of the updating (if required) and implantation of the LARP. The NTDC LAC normally works as an independent entity, but in case of local needs like price updating, grievance redress, etc., involves the respective District Government, especially the District Coordination Officer (DCO / District LAC), Union Council Nazims, and other local leaders, and/or the Provincial Revenue Boards, for addressing broader matters and resolving permanent Land Acquisition issues (not applicable to this Subproject). In addition, the NTDC LAC will be provided technical assistance by the Resettlement Specialist included in both the Project Management Consultants and the external Monitoring and Evaluation Consultants teams. This intuitional arrangement is presented as follow: Appendix 3 75

8. The amount and scope of work to be handled by the above referred cell far exceeds the physical and professional ability and capabilities of the incumbents. To support this cell, to carry out this task: monitoring consultants (MC) are being hired (these are also required as per ADB loan covenants). The brief terms of Reference of the MC is as follows:

B. Environmental monitoring

76 Appendix 3

9. An environment evaluation expert(s) for a period of four person-month (on as and when required basis) who will undertake monitoring of IEEs and also other environmental issues related to design, construction and commissioning of the subprojects according to the relevant reports already prepared and approved by NTDC/ADB. The expected completion time of these projects is 1 year.

1. Design Phase

(I) Monitor final site selection process and final alignment selection process and its environmental compliance with EMP. (II) Review the implementation of the land acquisition plan and expropriation, including considerations concerning vulnerable groups among land-owners, farmers, and farm workers. (III) Monitor contractor’s detailed project design to ensure relevant environmental mitigation measures in EMP have been included. (IV) Monitor the detailed environmental guidelines for construction works, including procurement, management, works, closing operations etc in the light of IEE and EMP. (V) Review the management plan for mineral construction materials and waste management. (VI) Audit detailed designs of facilities and installations to ensure standard environmental safeguards/ mitigation measures (as identified in EMP) have been included. (VII) Review landscape design plan, including compensatory planting. (VIII) Monitor the performance of environmental training and briefings for the creation of environmental awareness of project staff and NTDC.

NTDC Standards for Transformer Noise

NTDC specifications for auto (Power) transformers (220 kV and 500 kV) require that noise level be as per IEC 551 which simplistically interpreted results in a permissible noise level of 80 db (this is subject to measurement conditions laid down in IEC 551).
