Lowis Berger International/ Sheladia/CES/ IC. 1 2 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR IWT PILOT PROJECT
1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND This report is concerned with the practical aspects of implementation of all major waterway improvement components of the Inland Water Transport Pilot project. The entire programme forms part of the Phase-I KSTP project. The report has been prepared to address all uncertainties and missing links identified by the World Bank team after (1)the ESAMP report submitted earlier in June 2002 and (2) subsequent WB mission in July-August 2002. In addition to the World Bank team from Delhi, the Regional Safe Guard Coordinator, South Asia, was also participated in the team as head of the mission. During the visit, the mission team also visited the Alappuzha-Kottayam canal for understanding the ground situation. This is a revised report of the IWT Implementation Plan incorporating all World Bank observations on the draft document submitted to WB in September 2002.
2 NEED FOR AN IWT PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The WB aide memoire dated August 21, 2002, clearly identified each item, which require immediate attention to evolve a practical approach that can be implemented. The implementation plan prepared will be a 'supplement' to the ESAMP report submitted earlier in June 2002. Few activities have been dropped and some new items have been included. The provision in the BOQ has been revised subsequent to these changes in the ESAMP. In this way the ESAMP document remains as the base document with all subsequent changes mentioned in this document. The ESAMP and the implementation plan documents will be part of the contract documents.
3 FOLLOW UP ACTION The GOK and the KSTP Project Management Team (PMT) and the Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC) have taken a number of measures subsequent to the submission of this document. The institutional aspects are separately discussed under a different heading. 1. A meeting with IWAI regarding a matching terminal arrangement with IWT proposals have been conducted at Kochi on August 12, 2002. The draft minutes of meeting carried out with IWAI official at Kochi is enclosed as annexure-1. 2. The involvement of the engineers from Water Resources Department (WRD) for the dredge disposal arrangements including land identification for mass balance (dredging versus disposal) of the dredge materials. 3. Reconstitution of the Task Force and a meeting convened immediately after the preparation of an implementation plan on October 11, 2002. The annexure-2 is the GO for Task Force reconstituted under vide G.O (Rt) No: 11/2002/CSIND TVM dated 7-9-2002. 4. A technical session has been conducted on October 10, 2002 for the water hyacinth management to control excessive growth of waterweeds during the operational period of IWT pilot project. This has enabled the government to use various research input in to the IWT pilot component. For this session very important resource persons in the field have been invited and their ideas and concepts discussed with a select group of experts.

3.1 INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS The intuitional aspect of the project implementation is provided in figure 1.0. The various institutional arrangements are spread over to three layers of involvement. The parent organisation i.e., the Water Resources Department (WRD) at the State level, the Project Management Team (PMT) at Project Implementation Level at Thiruvananthapuram and the IWT execution level at Kottayam are the three levels of involvement.
3.1.1 WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT The Secretary, Water Resource Department (WRD) is also a member of the KSTP project level Steering committee, which will be taking all policy decisions. As a State level organisation with the Chief Engineer (WRD) stationed at Thiruvananthapuram, the department will be assisting PMT to address all institutional difficulties such as interagency linkages and to resolve interdepartmental conflicts if any arising during pre-construction, construction and operational level.
3.1.2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM The Superintending Engineer, Executive Engineer and Assistant Engineer forming part of the IWT team in the PMT. They have been deputed from the WRD to coordinate the implementation of the IWT component. They will be responsible for the implementation of the ESAMP & IP. The Environmental Engineer and Sociologist of the Project Management Team will provide support to the IWT team to ensure that the environmental and social aspects of the IWT component are implemented.
3.1.3 IWT DIVISION AT KOTTAYAM. The IWT division will be headed by an Executive Engineer at Kottayam. There would be one Assistant Executive Engineer supported by nine assistant engineers. The division is exclusively for the implementation of the Inland Water Transport Pilot Project. All the staff has been identified. The institutional arrangements for IWT division at Kottayam are to be in place two months before the commencement of the construction. As the construction is expected to start in April 2003 the Kottayam division will be formed by first February 2003.
3.1.4 IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS The Contractor will be implementing the ESAMP & IP. These form a part of the contract documents. The Waterways Specialist of the supervision consultants will be supervising the implementation of the ESAMP & IP. From the Kottayam division, three assistant engineers (one per canal) will be responsible for the supervision arrangements during the project implementation stage. The three Assistant engineers will be reporting to the Assistant Executive Engineer/Executive Engineer will be monitoring the over all progress of the implementation of ESAMP & IP recommendations.

3.1.6 FIELD VISIT AND TRAINING.
A field-training programme will be organised to Sultan's canal at Kannur during February 2003 (five days). All experts, contractors, consultants etc related to the Sultan's canal would be invited for the session. The PCC and PMT will organise the field visit and training session. A visit to National Water way (NW-III) where dredging operations have been currently under taken will also be considered within the five days programme.
3.2 TASK FORCE The Task Force have been reconstituted with additional members from other departments. Some of the members mentioned by name in the earlier list of Task Force members, retired from service have been removed. A meeting of the reconstituted Task Force have been convened on October 11, 2002. The Government order and the Terms of Reference (TOR) prepared for the meeting are enclosed for reference as annexure-2. The "Agenda notes' prepared for the meeting is provided in annexure-3 and minutes of the meeting provided in annexure-4.
Based on the follow up action by the PMT, WRD and PCC, the second session of the Task Force will be held with the following issues for clarification and approval.
*> Real necessity of bathing ghats * Dredge disposal, fool proof method for implementation A formal approval of the revised implementation plan (November 2002).
Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 6 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project
Proposal for water hyacinth management based on the decisions of the last meeting will also be discussed.
3.3 CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) for the IWT will be formed in February 2003 with support from NGO. The committee will meet once in six months and as and when required. The committee will provide advice, support and guidance to the Kottayam IWT division and the NGO. The Government order No GO (Rt) No.976/2002/PWD dated 23.10-2002 for this has been issued as provided in annexure-5.
3.4 CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION CONSULTANTS (CSC) The supervision consultants for the IWT work have been identified. Arrangements have been made to include an additional position of Waterway Specialist proposed by the Bank mission in July-August 2002. The Waterways specialist will supervise the implementation of the IWT component including the ESAMP & IP recommendations.
3.5 CONTRACTORS The appointment of contractors will be completed by March 2003. The contractor is also required to have an environmental position in their team. The procedures for the appointment of contractors will be started as soon as the implementation plan prepared by the project has been approved and the BOQ and other contracting documents have been finalised (expected in November 2002).
3.6 NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGAINISATION (NGO) Although there are no land acquisition and no Resettlement Action Plan prepared for the IWT component of the Project, the involvement of a Non Governmental Organisation has been planned from the very beginning stage. The NGO will assist for all activities as and when required especially for the Public Awareness Programme (Refer section 4.2 for more details). The NGO selected for Alappuzha-Changanaserry highways component will address all environmental and social work for the IWT pilot project. The NGO will assist in various community consultation requirements regarding the water hyacinth disposal, dredge disposal plan, bathing ghat arrangements etc. The Terms of Reference (ToR) for NGO have been already part of the appointed NGO contract. The document has not defined the nature of work related to IWT pilot component. Therefore, the Implementation plan prepared for IWT, as a part of ESAMP defined the works related to IWT component. This is enclosed as annexure-6. This will be part of the TOR prepared for the NGO's.
3.7 PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION Immediately after obtaining the World Bank approval on the Implementation Plan (lP) for the IWT pilot project, the KSTP will disclose all documents in the Nedumudi and Kavalam panchayath offices and also in the public information centre at Kottayam and Alappuzha district collectorates. The executive summary prepared earlier in Malayalam (local language) will be revised according to this document and disclosed at all selected places. The GOK will send the documents for disclosure to simultaneously disclose the information in WB Washington and New Delhi offices.
Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 7 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project
4 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR EACH ACTIVITY The entire project has been planned to execute with in a time frame of 24 months. The construction activities are expected to start in April 2003. The activity schedule' described in section 5.0 clearly defines which activity precedes which activity.
4.1 MOBILISATION This includes mobilisation of equipment for geo-technical investigation and dredging, construction of office, campsites and to establish laboratories for testing. Identification of borrow areas and locating the material sources for construction. The dredge material and water hyacinth disposal agreements with the landowner, etc. An estimated three months is provided to mobilise all equipments and arrangements. A total of ninety days duration has been considered for the mobilisation since the start of the construction contract. During the same period the contractor will carry out sampling and testing of sediments as described in section 4.7.
4.2 SITE CLEARANCE The site clearance include pruning of trees that are hanging towards canal from the adjacent land and properties especially along the narrow sections of the canal. The involvement of NGOs will be required for pruning as there could be slight resistance from the landowners. The site clearance must also include any other material that will hamper the construction activities. For example, removal of tree (mainly coconut) stumps erected in the waterways at few locations or any other obstructions. However under the name of site clearance, the footbridges or any other structures used by the local people should not be demolished till the preparation of a clear-cut reconstruction plan. During this period the Contractor will arrange necessary alternatives.
4.3 WATER HYACINTH REMOVAL & DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS Construction Phase - Weed control and Management: During construction period, the contractor will have to clear the water hyacinth along the waterways after three months of mobilisation till the handing over of the waterways. The occurrence of the water hyacinth varies from season to season depending on many factors especially the water flow along the canal and the monsoon season. The water hyacinth will be removed by manual process. The contractors will remove the water hyacinth and this has been built in to the contract as a payable item in the Contract documents. The gloves and foot wear will be given to labourers to work safely as there could be presence of insects and snakes2. The contractor will deposit the manually removed water hyacinth on the coconut plantations as a mulch3. Traditionally these materials have been used as a 'mulching material' for coconut plantations. At present there is nothing that will be against the continuing of this tradition. Apart from use as mulching material other uses include paper pulp, fish feed, compost etc. Prior to deciding of the application the contractor will seek the clearance of the CSC.
IContractor will prepare a work plan after considering the various environmental and social requirements 2 Some of the participants in the meeting at Kottayam stated that there is a sharp increase in the snakebite cases In the Kuttanad area. 3A mass of leaves, bark, or compost spread around or over a plant for protection or to enrich the soil.

Operational Phase Weed Control and Management. The water hyacinth removal and disposal arrangements during the operational stage will apply a multi pronged approach such as mechanical and manual for removal and disposal applications such as mulching, compost making, pulp making for paper, fish feed material for certain fishes etc. The annexure-7 is the GOK expert panel 2002 recommendations regarding the opening of Thannermukkom bund which till recently thought to the best solution for the water hyacinth management. The minutes of meeting regarding the water hyacinth management held at Kottayam is enclosed as in annexure-8.
4.3.1 BIOREMEDIATION MEASURES
The WB team has recommended to revisit the proposed experimentation of bioremediation measures considered earlier, which is cost intensive and not successfully proved instead to compose a forum for discussion with experts in the field to plan the future activities. The bio remediation measures have been dropped from further consideration.
4.4 PRE-CONSTRUCTION INVESTIGATION AND SURVEYS
The contractor will carry out all necessary surveys including sounding for the determination of depth. This is required as the original survey was carried out in early 2000 and there could be considerable erosion, deposition and siltation. In addition to the complete inventory surveys the surveys will also include hydro graphic surveys, surveys regarding jetties, terminals, existing traffic, passenger movements, cargo handling etc.
4.5 BANK PROTECTION
The PMT and PCC team have carried out a number of discussions regarding the schedule of the bank protection versus dredging. Since the depth of dredging is minimum of the order of less than one metre only, the bank protection will be completed first followed by dredging. The recommendations of the PCC engineering team during project preparations were in this line. Under the present circumstances and as agreed with World Bank, the dredge material will be used for embankment protection only. If the test results that will be taken up during the construction period indicate less contamination, then the material could be of use for other applications including permissible land filling.
4.6 DREDGING AND DREDGE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS
The entire dredging activities will be undertaken by two proposed methods of dredging Viz, hydraulic and mechanical dredging. The hydraulic dredging cannot be undertaken in narrow canals. At these narrow locations mechanical dredging will be under taken. Out of the total 156,000 m3 of sediments, the total sediments dredged by each of the above methods are as follows.
* Mechanical dredging-120,000m 3-Sediments will be in the form of small pieces & water *> Hydraulic dredging-36,000m 3 -dredged sediments will be in the form of a slurry
The break up of the dredge material and disposal arrangements is provided in table 1.0. The figure 2.0 is the proposed design for disposal arrangements.

AK canal. Any section from chainage 0-17km, hydraulic dredging is the possibility. At these locations, the canal is very wide and the padashekarams are available where the bunds will be raised as per the design provided (Figure 2.0). In the remaining portion mechanical dredging is the possibility. The exhibit 4.1A of ESAMP4 Volume-1 Oine diagram of project canal) provides the three sections where dredging will take place along this canal. The annexure-9 is the disposal arrangements for this canal.
KV canal. Mechanical dredging is the only possibility along this canal from 0-24.5 km. The entire dredged material will be used for strengthening of the embankment height as per the design provided (Figure 2.0) and annexure-10 is the disposal arrangements for the KV canal. The exhibit 4. 1B of ESAMP Volume-1 Oine diagram of project canal) provides the section where dredging will take place along this canal.
AC canal. Any sections from chainage 0-22km hydraulic dredging is the possibility. At these locations the canal is very wide and the available bunds of padashekarams will be raised as per the design provided (Figure 2.0). The exhibit 4.1C of ESAMP Volume-i (line diagram of Project canal) provides the three sections where dredging will take place along this canal. The annexure-1 1 provides the details of the dredge disposal arrangements for AC canal. From chainage 22-28km where narrow canals are available mechanical dredging will be employed.
Transportation of dredge material. No hydraulic dredging is possible along the entire Kottayam-Vaikom (KV) canal except at Chipunkal near Thannirmukkom. Therefore, the transportation of the mechanical dredge material will be by country boats, barges or directly to tipper lorries. The sediments taken from the canal bottom could be more of clayey material than sandy. Nevertheless, there are a number of places were only sandy materials are available (eg: adjacent to the Nehru trophy Jetty where the water sports arrangements by the Sp'orts Authority of India exists). The clayey materials are of high demand for embankment protection because of the very low permeability (and high porosity). The dredged sediments need to be transported to the disposal arrangements where ever exists. The possible modes of transportation include:
Country boats locally available in large numbers with a capacity of 2-3m' are of use for transportation with manual unloading.

The designs for embankment filling provided earlier in section 4.6 (Figure 2.0). The Contractor prior to construction should demonstrate the feasibility of the system proposed for bank protection in the programme and methodology. Three Sections. Along AK and AC canals the three sections are the sections at which the canal will be deepened as shown in line diagrams provided in ESAMP volume-1 as stated above. Dredging will be undertaken along these sections. Along KV canal, in fact only one section exists from Kanjirarn (Okm) up to Chipunkal (24.5m). This is divided into three sections conveniently as 0-3, 3-15 and 15-24.5.
4.6.1 SELECTION OF DISPOSAL SITES AND BENEFICIARIES Transparent process applied for the selection of sites and beneficiaries / land owners and their agreements to receive the dredge material. The average depth of dredging is 0.5m, nevertheless there are very few locations where the depth of dredging could be up to lm.

4.6.2 SELECTION ALONG AC CANAL Chainage 0-22 km (I). The nearest available place to accept the sediment material dredged from the canal bottom is the selection criteria applied here. In this section hydraulic dredging is proposed. The quantity of dredge material is 5861 m3 for a length of 22 km hence this can be disposed to the nearest place identified in table 2.0. For example if the volume of dredged material is 100 m3 the project will see the nearest opportunity to dispose off the entire material at one place. If this is not possible one or two more locations will be considered. Too many locations cannot be considered as the cost increases with distance and other environmental and social factors such as the practical difficulty to arrange the facility at many locations. Although there could be some complaints regarding the omission of small-scale farmers with very small land area, this is the best option the project can take. Chainage 22-28km (II). The entire canal length is built-up area and no padashekarams exists. The disposal arrangements have been made on both the banks continuously through out the length which will not allow for any conflicts. The Kottayam division of the WRD has completed the entire survey and identification of sites for section II of AC canal. The survey and identification for 0-22km section sites have been completed by the Alappuzha division of the WRD.
4.6.3 SELECTION ALONG AK CANAL Chainage 0-17km (I). The criteria applied here is the nearest available place to accept the sediment material dredged from the canal bottom. For example if the volume of dredged material is 100 m3 the project will see the nearest opportunity to dispose off the entire material at one place. If this is not possible one or two more locations will be considered. Too many locations cannot be considered as the cost increases with distance and other environmental and social factors such as the practical difficulty to arrange the facility at many locations. Although there could be some complaints regarding the omission of small-scale farmers with very small land area, this is the best option the project can take. The Alappuzha division of the WRD has completed the entire survey and identification of the sites. Chainage 17-23 km (II). Along this canal, the disposal will be through out the left and right bank leaving no scope for any complaints. The entire canal length is built-up area and no padashekarams exists. The disposal arrangements have been made on both the banks continuously through out the length which will not allow for any conflicts. The Kottayam division of the WRD has completed the entire survey and identification of sites.
4.6.4 SELECTION ALONG KV CANAL Along this canal, the disposal will be through out the left and right bank avoiding the actual built up area. Along the entire canal length no padashekarams exists. The disposal arrangements have been made on both the banks continuously through out the length which will not allow for any conflicts. The Kottayam division of the WRD has completed the entire survey and identification of sites.

4.7 SEDIMENT TESTING AND ALL ALLIED ACTIVITIES The sampling of sediments will be carried out under the close supervision of the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) appointed for the project in consultation with PMT and the identified laboratories. Sampling will be carried out immediately after the mobilisation of the IWT Contractor and CSC prior to the dredging operations as shown in activity schedule provided in section 6.0. Prior to sampling, the CSC and the PMT will prepare a sampling strategy in consultation with the identified laboratories. The contractor will arrange sampling and testing of the dredged material. The cost of sediment collection, testing and analysis have been included in the BOQ bill no 10. The payment to the Contractor will be based on the actual cost upon submission of invoices from the laboratories. This payment shall be directly linked to the case-to-case instructions of the Engineer (i.e., CSC) in consultation with the PMT. The samples will be transported on the same day of collection to the identified laboratories. The following aspects will be considered during sampling. 1. Sampling and testing of the dredged sediments will be only from the dredging areas. 2. Twenty (20) sampling locations have been planned for the three IWT project canals during implementation stage for sampling and testing. 3. There will be eight (8) sampling locations along KV canal (including the earlier two) at equal intervals from Kanjiram to Chipunkal. (Total eight (8) stations) 4. Six (6) sampling stations along AC canal at three sections of dredging. (Total 6 stations) 5. Six (6) sampling stations along AK canal at three sections of dredging (Total 6 stations) 6. The CSC will review and modify the sampling and testing arrangements in consultation with all concerned including contractor. 4.7.1 SAMPLING DEPTH The sampling depth is based on the following factors. 1. The average depth of dredging is 0.5m. Only two representative samples are recommended at this section i.e., surface sample and bottom sample. 2. The methods recommended by the laboratory will be used to collect the deeper samples. Alternatively, the carefully collected dredge samples will be used for testing from the required stations. 3. Wherever the depth of dredging is more than 0.5m, three samples will be taken at different depths so that the collected samples represent the sediment column that will be dredged. 4. The number of samples at each location will depend on the depth of the dredging at that particular location. However for the purpose of budget estimation three samples per location have been considered. 5. The contractor will assist the Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) for collecting the necessary samples from the canal bottom. 6. This will be reviewed after the advice from two recognised and certified laboratory available in the nearest possible locations at Bangalore/Kochi.

4.7.2 ESTIMATION OF THE SAMPLING AND TESTING COSTS The cost estimates are shown in table 6.0, section 5. The Contractor (linked to the BOQ related payments) will collect the sample and send to the identified laboratory. The laboratory will carry out the testing and analysis.
4.7.3 IDENTIFIED LABORATORIES For the sampling and testing purpose two laboratories have been identified. Since the rates of these reputed laboratories are fixed, there is no need for procedural formalities of government inviting quotations etc. The details of these laboratories are as follows. 1. M/s SGS limited- P.O Box 560, Subramaniam Road, Willington Island, Kochi, India. The Laboratory head office is located at Switzerland. This laboratory has branches in many countries spread all over the world (refer web site. www.sgs.com). 2. M/s Shriram Institute of Industrial Research (SIIR). The SIIR has the head quarter at New Delhi and a regional lab at Bangalore. The SIIR is self-sustaining, multi locational, multi disciplined, contract research organisation working since 1947. This is an ISO 9000 certified company by DNV Netherlands and accredited by Dutch Council for certification-RVA. The SIIR is also accredited by National Accreditation Board of Laboratories (NABL-the Indian Body for accreditation of laboratories in the filed of chemical, mechanical and biological analysis). 4.7.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE DISPOSAL ARRANGEMENTS After the sediment test results are obtained CSC will decide and approve the method of disposal of dredge materials. In no case the contractor dispose the material without the CSC explicit approval. In order to avoid spillage of dredged materials during bund formation, a temporary arrangement is to be provided by the contractor. A typical design for the disposal of sediments is provided in section 4.6 (Figure 2.0). The entire arrangements are proposed over the existing embankment. This will strengthen the bunds preventing floods in the area with a much better control over the water. Locally available materials such as hard split coconut, bamboo-mats are used for this purpose. Bracings are provided to avoid slippage. Horizontal and slanding stumps are provided at regular intervals. The system can be kept in place for a period of 10 days, and after drying of the bund it can be reused to another location. Since the sides are provided in the same angle of repose of soil, the stability of the bund will not be affected during removal of form works. This set up will allow water from the sediments to drain over a very short period of two to three days. Sufficient quantity of bamboo mats and split coconut will be available from the GOK controlled Bamboo Corporation and the coconut farmers. This will provide rural employment generation also.
4.7.5 DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED MATERIAL During the July/August 2002, WB mission, the KSPCB and the Agricultural department officials stated that BHC has been officially banned for the past two years and therefore the actual concentration is likely to be less than the reported values in ESAMP report. The KSPCB has clarified that the dredge material will not be considered, as hazardous waste under the existing rules as the reported BHC concentrations are low for land applications. Under this circumstance, the material can be considered as 'slightly contaminated', which will not allow room for any costly CDF preparations. Sediment sampling, testing and analysis will
Louis Berger Internation,a/ShIl,iLdia/CES/ICT 15 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project
be carried out during dredging. If the results indicate any contamination, further testing for CDF arrangements will be carried out for the required parameters only. The location of identified CDF sites for KV, AK and AC canals are provided in the following table 3.0. The same disposal arrangements could be considered for the CDF facilities along first reaches of AC and AK canals. In case of identification of contaminated sediments along first reaches of AC, AK canals the disposal arrangements will be shifted away from the bund/bank.

The test specification for the contaminated material if any detected during the initial testing arrangements is as follows. Based on the first year testing results, all contaminated pesticide and heavy metal constituents will be tested continuously for about two years. All required parameters would be monitored continuously for four times during a period of two years. As this cannot be estimated correctly, a lump sum amount of Rs. 2.0 lakhs per each of the four sampling and testing procedure will require 8.0 lakhs rupees (4 x 2 Lakhs).

4.9 CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGES AND FOOT BRIDGES The construction of bridges, footbridges etc will spread over a period of 12 months as provided in the activity schedule. Four bridges for AK and AC canals each and 14 bridges for Kottayam-Vaikom (KV) canal will be either rebuild or repaired or raised.
4.10 NAVIGATIONAL AIDS The navigational aides will be installed once all the activities mentioned above are more or less complete. The anticipated period of this activity is from 18flh month up to the 23rd month. This can be treated as one of the last activity to be taken up. The Waterways specialist of CSC will arrange a meeting with the IWAI to agree a common, uniform pattern of Navigational aids for both NW-III and IWT (Refer annexure-1).
4.11 E & S IMPACT, MITIGATION AND ENHANCEMENT WORKS All mitigation measures proposed will be implemented throughout the period. For this, the ESAMP & IP will be the binding document. Land acquisition. No land acquisition has been planned for the IWT pilot project. In case, land acquisition has been considered/ required for the IWT project for any of the proposed facilities like terminals, jetties, access roads, the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared for the highways component and the GOK policy on the same applies for identification of PAPs compensation, land acquisition and resettlement. Annexure-12 is a checklist prepared for land acquisition. Low Cost Sanitation arrangements. The sanitation arrangements included earlier in ESAMP report have been completely deleted from the IWT Pilot component. The BOQ has been revised accordingly. The proposed sanitation facilities in the ESAMP document would be considered in other sanitation projects. The decisions have been discussed and endorsed by the Task Force. Terminal facilities at Changanaserry and Kottayam. The design for terminal facilities for accepting and disposal of solid and liquid waste is shown in Appendix Yprovided in ESAMP. The cost includes landscaping and visual integration of all terrminal facilities with suitable tree, shrub planting and other facilities. The cost has been included in the BOQ. There will not be any hazardous cargo handling at the two IWT terminals proposed at Kottayam and Changanaserry. Terminal facilities at Alappuzha. There is one terminal facility at Alappuzha for all purposes including hazardous cargo. This facility is being built by the IWAI. No terminal facilities are being built at Alappuzha under this project. The construction activities in the project canals AC and AK are 3 km and 1 km distance from the proposed terminal respectively. Hence no impacts pertaining to the hazardous cargo storage is envisaged under this project. During the operational phase there will be no movement of hazardous chemicals along the project canals as the national waterways will be used for this purpose. However the terminals will be common to the project canals and NW-III. The terminal facility has obtained GOI/MOEF clearance and has a Disaster Management Plan/Risk analysis. These documents will be reviewed by the PMT and advice on additional mitigation measures required if any. Further details of the Alappuzha terminal is included in annexure - 13. Bathing ghats. New design for bathing ghats has been prepared in consultation with the WRD engineers at Kottayam. This is provided in figure 4.0. Further the design has been

Solid and liquid wastes (sewage) disposal. Solid and liquid wastes (sewage) disposal during construction from construction camps including toilet during construction (Refer ESMP Volume-1). Safe disposal of human waste. As in aircrafts, there would be suitable arrangements in the vessels (passenger boats, motor boats etc,) to collect human defecation. The safe disposal of this should be planned and disposal sites identified without affecting the waterways. A provision of Rs 12 Lakhs (Rs. 1.2 million) has been included for three years initially as the cost for making proper disposal arrangements (Refer ESAMP Volume-1). The cost included in the BOQ. In addition to this, there should be terminal arrangements in the form of septic tanks to accept or dispose of the sewage from the vessels. This is required only because no sewerage systems are available at Changanaserry and Kottayam. In all these locations a closed septic tank of 40 cubic metres costing Rs. 1.5 million will be required. Open and closed septic tanks are used in the area. This will necessitate an additional requirement of Rs 30 Lakhs (Rupees three million). This is a permanent investment in this direction.

Quarry and Borrow area development and rehabilitation plan. The cost included in the BOQ (Refer ESAMP Volume-1). Waste Management Plan. The cost for the waste management plan during construction is included in the BOQ (Refer ESAMP Volume-1). Solid waste collection and disposal facilities at Jetties. There are 110 jetties altogether, each one requiring a dust/garbage bin of standard design size. The cost includes visual integration of the structure. A number of these may be required at jetties. The cost for this is included (Refer ESMP Volume-1). Dredge disposal cost. The cost for dredging and disposal is a part of the engineering cost. Suitable designs have been provided for both embankment and confined disposal facility. The cost included in the BOQ (Refer ESMP Volume-1). Water hyacinth Collection and disposal. As identified and described by the Water Hyacinth Management Plan in Appendix L of ESAMP and the Implementation Plan. As recommended by the Task Force (Annexure-3) a multi pronged approach will be undertaken for the collection and disposal of the waterweeds. The cost for this including the treatment of disposed water hyacinth from the canal in private coconut plantation and other agricultural areas for making compost etc, and utilizing it for various purposes will be part of the BOQ bill no-2.
4.12 PERFORMANCE MONITORING INDICATORS The table 5.0 itemises the performance monitoring indicators for the Environmental and social aspects of the IWT project for the purpose of evaluation.
4.13 ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MONITORING AND ENHANCEMENT COSTS All items except the cost for environmental awareness programme (Rs 20 lakhs) have been dropped from the list of items included in exhibit 11.1 of ESAMP Volume-1 (page 86). The awareness programme will be carried out with the same budget as described in the following section 4.14. Further, it has been recommended to include a two-year maintenance cost for the pilot project, as the project construction activities will be completed two years ahead of the closing of the loan agreement in June 2007. Therefore, the maintenance cost of Rs 50 Lakhs per year (Five million) for three canals (Lumpsum) for two years have been considered under the project. This will incur an additional cost of one Crore (Ten Million rupees).
4.14 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND AWARENESS PROGRAMME The public participation programmes will focus on the PIA panchayats with in the Kuttanad area. The awareness programme will consider the health, hygiene and sanitation aspects of the Kuttanad region in addition to the management related issues of waterways during operational stage. The responsibilities of the individuals, waterway users, inhabitants of Kuttanad and tourists will be covered during the programmes. The identified NGO will organise the activities with the involvement of PMT and PCC at Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam IWT division and the district and panchayat administration in the Kuttanad area.

ANNEXURE-1 MINUTES OF MEETING WITH THE INLAND WATER TRANSPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA (IWAI) FOR KSTP-IWT PILOT PROJECT Venue: IWAI Office, 2347-N, Paramara Shopping Complex, Paramara Road, Kochi-18 Date, Time: 12 August 2002, 11.30 a.m. Participants IWAI Kochi: Mr. S. Dandapat, Director, Inland Water Authority of India (IWAI), Kochi Mr. V. Murugesan, Technical Assistant, IWAI, Kochi Mr. G.S. Mena, Technical Assistant, IWAI, Kochi Participants KSTP PMT/PCC: Mr. Ramakrishnan, Superintendent Engineer (SE), Water Resources Department Mr. Yohannan, Executive Engineer, PMT/Water Resources Department Mr. B.G.P. Reddy, Design Engineer, Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC) Mr. Sundara Rajan C.V., Environmental Specialist, PCC
The purpose of the meeting with IWAI Officials was to ascertain whether the terminal facilities proposed in the terminals at Kottayam and Changanaserry of the IWT Pilot Project and that in the terminals at Alappuzha, Vaikom and Thannirmukkom of the NW-Il-IWAT Project, that are in the project influence area of the pilot project, are of comparable standard.
Mr. Ramakrishnan, SE, Water Resources introduced the KSTP-IWT Project and the objectives of the meeting. The PCC Environmental Specialist added some details on the nature of the information required from IWAI. Having discussed all matters regarding the NW-III Project (presently partly completed) and KSTP-IWT Project, the key elements regarding the KSTP-IWT Project were defined as described below.
1. The terminal facilities proposed by IWAI for Alappuzha, Thannirmukkom (Shertalai) and Vaikom are much bigger in area than the KSTP proposals for IWT. The area of the NW-III terminals varies from 0.5 ha to 1.0 ha whereas the KSTP proposal is 0.1 ha only. This is due to the hazardous material cargo handling and storage requirement for the NW-III Project. The land acquisition for the latter project is complete but at Alappuzha terminal where some local conflicts have slowed down this process. 2. Apart from the area required, the NW-III terminal designs are comparable with the KSTP proposals. However, certain items described in the engineering report of the pilot project do not seem to be included in the Bill of Quantifies, particularly the following matters: Fence and gates > Water supply arrangements and overhead tank Surface drainage and pipe culvert Fire fighting equipment and portable pump Mechanical engineering equipment, eg. provision of tyred crane to load and unload cargo etc. 3. It can be noted that environmental and social considerations are of lesser importance in the NW-III Project. The PMT/PCC team stated that these considerations are essential in all World Bank financed projects. 4. In the NW-IIl terminals the only facility proposed is a septic tank designed for 50 people. This is meant for official/guest use and not for the public. This is inadequate
Louis Berger Internation.l/Shel.adia/CES/ICT 27 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project
for the KSTP-IWT standard. KSTP has proposed a septic tank for 200 people use, including the official/public use, besides the disposal of waste from on-board vessel facilities according to the KSTP vessel designs. 5. At present there are no garbagecollectionanddisposalarrangements'proposedin the NW- III Project. 6. The NW-III Project has obtained the Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. 7. For water hyacinth removal and disposal IWAI have contacted Ecotech (Phone 0484-323809) dealing with proven environmental solutions. There are early proposals to hire this company for removing water hyacinth using mechanical water hyacinth harvesters. The cost of this harvester is 60 lakhs. Currently IWAI has not developed any plan for the disposal arrangements. 8. The NW-III Project has carried out a detailed Disaster Management Plan and risk analysis related to the hazardous cargo movements at terminals. There are inbuilt proposals for fire fighting equipments in the terminals. 9. There are no institutional capabilities within the IWAI for executing any environmental and social components of the project. The IWAI depends on the Revenue Department and other agencies for land acquisition and other environmental and social requirements of the project. 10. At present there are no design vessels proposed with inbuilt garbage collection and disposal facilities in the NW-IIl Project. 11. There have been some conflicts with the fishing community in the NW-HI Project. When they happen, they are referred to the Fisheries Department, Government of Kerala. 12. There are some discrepancies regarding the channel marking standards between the NW-III and KSTP proposals. However, this is a minor issue that can be resolved easily. 13. The IWAI has raised concerns regarding the certificate of competency to the boat drivers and the boat masters. There is some confusion regarding the present setup. It is understood that the Water Resources Department at Alappuzha has been authorized to issue boat registration certificates but not competency certificates. If some training is required this needs to be imparted. 14. The Director declared that the entire current legal framework and particularly the environmental laws are inadequate thereby hampering the growth of the waterways. Suitable laws need to be framed and implemented for effectively managing the environmental and social requirements and to meet international accepted standards. 15. Regarding the dredge disposal options the NW-III Project has resorted to all available means, i.e. open land and lake disposal, land fill, bund protection and land reclamation. They informed the KSTP participants that there are many potential buyers for dredged material. 16. The PMT/PCC Team gave information on the proposed task force meeting for the KSTP-IWT Project. IWAI participation is necessary for waterways related issues in Kerala. In this context the KSTP Team stated that they would convey these aspects to the concerned officials. The meeting was closed at 1.00 p.m.

Dredge disposal arrangement proposed in the implementation plan. The Kerala State Transport Project has decided to dispose of the dredged material from the three selected canals for improvement in an environmental friendly manner. The Project has carried out sampling and testing during the project preparation. The test results indicate that the sediments are slightly contaminated at certain locations. The main contamination is due to the presence of BHC. Therefore the dredge material will be used only for the embankment/bund/sidewall protection and strengthening. There is a great demand for the dredge material. But the Project will not use the material for any land filling or filling of padashekraarams or for land reclamation of water-spread areas. The total estimated dredge material from the three Inland Water Transport canals is 156,000 m3. The project will carry out testing of samples simultaneously with dredging to confirm the material is free of any contamination. The testing will be carried out in the accredited laboratories already identified at Bangalore and Kochi. The estimated amount for the testing is Rupees twenty lakhs. Any reporting of higher levels of contamination by the laboratories will make the Confined Disposal Facility arrangements necessary for disposal. The arrangements will continue for a period of two years with testing of the contamination at an interval of four months. About ten sites have been identified for this arrangement and consents have been obtained. Government of Kerala has informed the World Bank team that the BHC has been officially banned since 2000. So the level of contamination will be considerably less than the earlier testing. In view of the above the dredge material will be used only for strengthening of embankments till test results prove that there is no contamination and can otherwise be used for land filling etc as per rules. Pointfordecision- Whether the proposed embankment strengthening using the dredge material can be adopted. If test results prove that there is no contamination whether it can be used for land filling etc as per rules. 2. Future plan for the control of excessive water hyacinth growth. The contractor will remove the waterweeds during the construction period up to the 24 "h month till handing over the waterways for operation. The occurrence of the water hyacinth varies from season to season depending on many factors especially the water flow along the canals and the monsoon season. The contractor will deposit the manually removed water hyacinth on the coconut plantations as a mulch6. Traditionally these materials have been used as a 'mulching material' for coconut plantations. At present there is nothing that will be against the continuing of this tradition. Necessary provision has been included in the bill of quantities. The operational control of the waterweeds is not within the scope of this project. As desired by the World Bank an operational strategy needs to be formulated for effectively controlling the water hyacinth. The earlier plan of testing by 'bioremediation measures' such as the one proposed by the Clean Flow International Inc. has been dropped from further consideration due to the exhorbitant cost involved and also the doubts regarding the practical aspects of implementation in open canals. The water hyacinth removal and disposal arrangements during the operational stage will use the outcome of the meeting of the researchers/experts in 6 A mass of leaves, bark, or compost spread around or over a plant for protection or to enrich the soil. Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 31 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Pro)ect this field that has been scheduled to be held on loth October 2002 at Kottayam. The recommendations of this meeting on control of water hyacinth will be considered by the Task Force and appropriate decisions will be taken. The expert panel constituted to study the possibility to open Thannirmukkom and Thottappally barrages has recently submitted their recommendations. The committee has recommended the opening of the barrages for a period of one year on an experimental basis. The Government of Kerala will take an appropriate decision based on the recommendations. Government of Kerala will have to take in to consideration the interests of both fisheries and agricultural sectors. The opening of the two barrages is thought to be a permanent solution for the waterweeds, as the weeds cannot survive in higher salinities. Pointfor decision- Whether the proposal to use the water hyacinth as a mulching material can be accepted. Decision on the recommendations in the meeting of the researchers/experts in this field scheduled to be held on 10th October 2002 to be taken. 3. Bathing Ghats arrangement for canal / waterway users. During the project preparation stage, Project Coordinating Consultants has carried out a number of public consultations and participation programmes. The people in general recommended to maintain privacy of women taking bath along the side of the canals. Accordingly a design was proposed in the Environmental and Social Assessment and Management Plan (ESAMP). Frequent maintenance will be required for this construction made of fibreglass. Although it is a low cost method, due to the uncertainty regarding its continued maintenance, is aesthetic quality and also due to the projected nature of the design, World Bank has objected to its adoption. Subsequently the design prepared as per the recommendation of the World Bank and the local Water Resources Department (WRD) engineers is also found not acceptable to the local community because of the loss of their land for providing bathing ghat arrangements. A new design for bathing ghats has been prepared in consultation with the WRD engineers. The design has been presented to a cross section of inhabitants along the canal sides. The general opinion was that this is possible only at public bathing ghats where adequate government land is available. The minimum land requirement for the proposed bathing ghat is 7.15 sq.m (1.3 x 5.5m). The total number of bathing ghats on government land that can be considered for construction will be 25 numbers per canal (total 75 nos). All other private bathing ghats will have to be retained or maintained taking care to ensure aesthetic quality. The cost of 75 public bathing ghats will be part of the cost of bund construction along the sides of the canal. Since the materials of construction are similar to that of bunds this is not a separate item of payment to the contractor. In this case only the quantity will vary and the contractor will be paid as per the claim for additional quantities. The standard rates are available for all materials and the work involved. Pointfordecision -Whether the proposal to construct 75 Nos. of bathing ghats as per the design can be adopted. 4. Co-ordination with other departments for the provision of sanitation facilities. The earlier consultancy studies recommended some initiatives on improving the sanitation in the Kuttanad area (identified Project Influence Area). The recommendation was based on the environmental studies especially the studies related to water quality carried out at selected locations along the canals. Although the total sanitation of the project area requires huge investments, the consultants recommended around 300 nos. of low cost sanitation units (for Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 32 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project BPL families to be decided after a survey by the selected Non Governmental Orgamsation) along the three Inland Water Transport Pilot Project waterways. This recommendaton was primarily to increase the awareness on the importance of water quality along the waterways. These recommendations were later dropped from further consideration of IWT project, following the June 2002 Mission of World Bank. The Mission note however recommended coordinating all sanutation programmes by various departments/orgamisations in the Kuttanad region and the issue was left to the Task Force for taking a decision. The IWT project requires coordination of number of lne departments of GOK and GOI for the provision of sanitation facihties. This includes KWA, Tourism, IWAI, local self- government bodies, SWTD, SPCB, etc. However the following two projects are more important with regard to sanitation. Kerala Total Sanutation Mission, under Kerala Rural Development Department. Kerala Rural Water and Sanitation Mission (KRWSM), under Kerala Water Authority. Considering the seriousness of the sanitation situation in Kuttanad these two Missions need to work more closely to protect the environment. Apart from this, the involvement of NGOs in promoting low cost samtation techniques may be emphasised. It may be noted that GOI project like National Waterway-No III has no proposal for sanitation, garbage collection and disposal facilies in the terminals. There are no specific designs for collection and disposal of waste materials from the vessels Pointfor deasion - To decide which department/agency will be providing sanitafion faclities in the project area. 5. Environmental Awareness Programme. The public participation programmes wlfl focus on the project influence area panchayats with in the Kuttanad area. The awareness programme will consider the health, hygiene and sanutation aspects of the Kuttanad region in additon to the management related issues of waterways during operational stage. The responsibilites of the individuals, wvaterway users, inhabitants of Kuttanad and tourists wilU be covered during the programmes. The already identified NGO will organise the activities with the involvement of Project Management Team and Project Coordinating Consultants at Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam IWT division and the district and panchayat administration in the Kuttanad area. The entire programme wil target 13 PIA Panchayats. These panchayats are lsted below: 1. Kainakary 8. Kumarakom 2 Pulinkunnu 9. Aimanom 3. Veliyanad 10. Kumaranalloor 4. Vazhapalli 11. Vechoor 5.

The programme will consist of three stages: Stage I-Seminars/ Workshops. Stage II-Video and film show. Stage III-Quiz Programmes and Cultural activities. Pointfor decision- Whether the awareness programme proposed can be adopted. 6. Co-ordination between different agencies including IWAI. Coordination with other departments like Tourism, IWAI, Fisheries, local self-government bodies, Industries, SWTD, PWD, SPCB etc. will be required for the successful operation of the project. The projects that are being implemented by these departments need to be streamlined for an overall targeted improvement in the sector. This includes arrangements for hotels restaurants, parks/rest areas, and water sports, parking areas etc. Point for decision - To suggest the scope and level of participation of different departments/agencies. 7. IWT- Future vision and scope of expansion. According to the objectives of the pilot IWT project a master plan is to be prepared based on the various inputs and experience from the KSTP-IWT project. The potential for tourism and the cargo transport could be mainly highlighted. The need for the total development of West Coast Canal from Kovalam to Kasaragod with external and other source of funding is to be considered. Pointfordecision - Action plan for the overall future development of IWT in Kerala. 8.

The meeting discussed the issues in the agenda notes circulated in advance to all the participants. The Principal Secretary, Water Resources Department (WRD) chaired the meeting. The Chairman introduced the purpose of the meeting with a brief description of the project. The PCC Environmental Specialist then made a power point presentation on the IWT pilot project. The items on the agenda were then taken up for discussion. 1) Dredge disposal arrangements proposed in the Implementation Plan The Secretary, PWD explained in detail about the dredge disposal arrangements. The participants discussed the various aspects of the arrangements. The present proposal is to use the dredge material for the embankment strengthening. The Chairman wanted to know whether other uses for the dredge materials could be considered under the project if the test results indicate nil or much lower levels of contamination. The secretary, PWD stated that the Task Force has to take a decision in this regard. One of the participants emphasised the need for a fool-proof method for the dredge disposal as there is a great demand for the dredge in the entire Kuttanad area both for land filling and for embankment strengthening. The recently prepared IWT Implementation Plan has clearly identified the areas that can be used for storing the dredged material. Another participant stated that the involvement of the local panchayat should be ensured in this area. Decision: The Task Force is of the opinion that the entire dredge material will not be required for embankment strengthening. It is therefore decided that if the test results during implementation phase indicates nil or lower levels of contamination in the dredged material, other applications that are socially and locally relevant should be considered under the project. The next meeting of the Task Force will discuss a comprehensive scheme for the dredge disposal, meeting the above considerations. This will help to avoid conflicts since there is a great demand for the dredge for various uses in Kuttanad area. Louis Berger International/Sheladca/CES/ICT 35 Kerala State Transport Projea Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project 2) Future plan for the control of excessive water hyacinth growth The recommendation of the meeting of experts conducted at Kottayam on 10th October 2002 was presented before the Task Force to discuss and to take a decision thereon The recommendation was to procure a mechanical harvester within the pilot project and to use it during the construction and operational phases. The CE (Mechanical) stated that the procurement of water hyacinth harvester as recommended by the meeting of the experts on 10th October 2002 at Kottayam will help to solve the problem only partially as the experience indicates that the machine could be only used for three months in a year when excessive growth of the weeds occurs. The Director, IW AI, Kochi stated that they are planning to procure a water hyacinth harvester very shortly, which will cost around Rs. 60 Lakhs. Another participant stated that a multi pronged approach that will involve a variety of techniques viz use of harvester in wider areas and manual removal in narrow sections and using the weeds for applications like mulching, composting or as a raw material for paper manufacturing units etc will be more appropriate. The expert from the Agricultural University pointed out that biological methods for eradicating the water hyacinth are not practical in this case. The involvement of the local panchayats, voluntary organisations, self-help groups and Kudumbasree should be ensured for manual removal. The project should also hold consultations with Hindustan Newsprint Ltd. and small-scale paper industries in this matter. One of the participants stated that due to unsafe working environment, some small-scale mechanical devices and tools are required for manual removal of the water hyacinth. The handling of waterweeds with bare hands is not possible due to the presence of snakes, insects etc and hence gloves and rubber footwear should be provided. Decision: A multi pronged approach should be adopted for the removal of water hyacinth along the project feeder canals. With regard to procurement of water hyacin.tn harvester it was decided that based on the experience of the IW AI a decision would be taken later. The experiences of other agencies using this harvester will be gathered by the SE, IWT. The local panchayats, Hindustan Newsprint Ltd and small-scale paper industries will be consulted regarding use of the water hyacinth as a raw material. 3) Bathing ghat arrangements along the canals. Some of the participants stated that the design prepared is not spacious enough to take bath and hence might not be used. Therefore the design needs to be changed slightly. The consultant stated that the design is for the minimum space and provides adequate flexibility. However, if sufficient public land is available it could be made more spacious. The Chairman wanted to know whether all the locations are identified and verified. The consultants stated that the 75 bathing ghats have been provided in the contract document. There can be variation in the design and in the number of these ghats along the .three canals. It was stressed that there will not be any land acquisition within this project. Decision: The necessity of the bathing ghats needs to be further ascertained from the women organisations and lady members of the local bodies. The Task Force decided that a few bathing ghats would be constructed on an experimental basis. Based on the social acceptability and other feedback, the remaining bathing ghats will be constructed. 4) Sanitation arrangements in the Kuttanad region. The Chairman stated that 'Kerala Total Sanitation Mission' is the only authority operating in Kuttanad region. Therefore this Mission could act as the nodal agency for the various Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 36 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project sanitation arrangements in the area. The Kerala Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency is an independent body operating in four districts of Kerala and this does not include Kuttanad area. The Chairman requested the IW AI to include adequate sanitation facilities in the three terminals (Alappuzha, Thannirmukkom and Vaikom) coming within the purview of the project. Responding to the question of licensing of vessels without on board waste disposal arrangements, the PCB representative stated that the PCB is currently drafting legislation to make such arrangements in all vessels mandatory and that this will be implemented very shortly. The representative from Tourism Department stated that while at present it is not mandatory for vessels like house boats to install waste disposal facility, that department has classified vessels particularly houseboats based on the facilities provided for collection and disposal of waste. The device that is being used in these house boats is the Marine Sanitation Device. This will soon be made applicable to all houseboats registered under Tourism Department SE, IWT will" collect copies of the order of PCB and Tourism Department on this subject. Decision: This will be included in the awareness programme during the implementation of the project. The Task Force also recommended that the conversion of the open latrines to safe two pit latrines be popularised. The IW AI was requested to provide the necessary sanitation and waste disposal facilities for the three terminals coming under the purview of the pilot project. The NA TP AC and Rural Development authorities are to be invited for the next meeting. The sanitation program of the local self govt bodies and other agencies will be coordinated by the Kerala Total Sanitation Mission and this will be reviewed by the Task Force. 5) Environmental Awareness Programme. The CWRDM representative stated that it is necessary to streamline the awareness programme through the Kudumbasree organisations. Decision: The proposed awareness programme could be implemented on the lines is stated in the agenda notes. 6) Coordination between different agencies including IWAI. The Chairman stated that as indicated in the agenda notes there are a number of other agencies involved. For coordination with all such agencies, the Task Force will be the best forum. Decision: The Task Force itself will act as the coordination agency. 7) IWT future vision and scope of expansion The Chairman stated that a centrally sponsored West Coast Canal project is under consideration of Government. . Decision: The experience from this IWT project will be taken as guiding principles for the future expansion of the waterways in Kerala. The action plan will be developed in due course with the implementation of the pilot project. 8) Any other items There were no other items for discussion.

The project has a comprehensive environmental awareness programme for which a detailed framework has been prepared and incorporated in the implementation plan. The NGO shall work out the specific details and will spear head all activities mentioned in the awareness programme with the help of CSC, PMT and PCC. Prior to the launch of the programme NGO shall prepare a detailed document on the awareness programme with all major players identified and consulted. This document needs approval from the PMT. 2. The IWT project does not require any land acquisition therefore no specific Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been prepared for the project. Nevertheless if needed arises according to the checklist prepared for the land acquisition, the RAP provisions prepared for the roads component will apply. In this case NGO shall perform the same activities such as the preparation of the micro level plans for each identified PAPs. 3. The NGO shall assist the contractor in identifying the specific locations for arranging public bathing ghats in consultation with the local population. The agency shall identify and has to clearly establish the status of land in which the bathing ghats that will be constructed. The project will construct bathing ghats only in the government land, as there is no provision for land acquisition in the project. 4. The NGO shall assist the contractor and the Kottayam IWT division to amicably resolve all the issues relating to the removal and disposal of water hyacinth as required for the project. 5. The NGO shall assist the contractor and the Kottayam IWT pilot project division to amicably resolve all the issues relating to the dredging and dredge disposal arrangements required for the project. 6. The NGO shall assist the contractor and the Kottayam IWT division for the implementation of all activities relating to environmental and social management and action plans out lined in the main document. 7. The NGO shall assist the contractor and the IWT division at Kottayam during site clearance to resolve any issues or conflict with the landowners relating to pruning of trees, removal of stumps/debris from the canal sides etc. Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 39 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project ANNEXURE-7 THE GOK EXPERT PANEL 2002 RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE OPENING OF THANNERMUKKOM BUND The expert panel constituted to study the possibility to open Thannirmukkom barrages has recently submitted their recommendations. The committee has recommended to open the barrages for an additional period of 15 days on an experimental basis. The GOK will take an appropriate decision based on the recommendations. The delicate decision is based on the conflict situation of fisheries communities and the agricultural communities in the entire Kuttand area. The opening of the two barrages is thought to be a permanent solution for the waterweeds, as the weeds cannot survive in higher salinities. However the committee has concluded that the suggestion to leave the barrage open throughout the year is not a socially and economically viable solution to the problems faced by the present operationof the barrage.A more technically feasible and socially acceptable solution is to minimize the time of closure of the barrage. It is observed that the ideal time to close the barrage is when the salinity level of the water reaches two parts per trillion (ppt) on the southern side of the barrage by around the second week of December. To allow the flushing of pollutants and to reduce the environmental impacts, barrage shall be opened by the end of the second week of March. The farmers shall be made aware of the need to exercise crop discipline to adjust with the schedule of barrage operation from mid-December to mid- March. When emergency situations arise, the operation has to consider the difference of water levels on the upstream and downstream of the barrage. A Committee of all concerned departments and agencies may take this decision on the emergency operation. By minimising the annual period of closure of the barrage, it is expected that the health of the aquatic ecosystem will improve. This will not only help in improving the flushing of the estuary and reducing the weed growth but also in slowly regaining the biodiversity. The fisheries sector also will benefit from this decision. Louis Berger International/Sheladlia/CES/ICT 40 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project ANNEXURE-8 MINUTES OF MEETING CONDUCTED AT KOTTAYAM FOR EVOLVING A PRACTICAL APPROACH/ SOLUTION FOR WATER HYACINTH MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONAL PHASES OF THE PROJECT. Venue: PWD Rest house, Kottayam. Date, Time: 10 October 2002, 11.00. a.m. PARTICIPANTS: List of participants is provided. PARTICIPANTS FROM KSTP (PCC/PMT): Mr Thomas, Superintendent Engineer (SE) Project Management Team (PMT) Mr Ramakrishnan, Superintendent Engineer (SE) Water Resources Department /PMT Mr Yohannan, Executive Engineer, Water Resources Department /PMT Mr Sreekandan Nair, Environmental Engineer, PMT Mr Sundara Rajan, Environmental Specialist, Project Coordinating Consultants (PCC) Purpose of the meeting was to derive a practical concrete recommendation for the collection and disposal of waterweeds especially the water hyacinths from the three canals selected under the IWT Pilot project. The meeting started with a welcoming address and a description of the purpose of the meeting by Mr Thomas, Superintending Engineer, Project Management Team (PMT). Later Mr Sundara Rajan, C.V. Environmental specialist, Louis Berger International Inc, using 'Power Point' presented an overview of the Pilot waterways component of the Kerala State Transport Project', Following the 'project over view presentation' the subject was opened for discussion. 1. Dr Joy of Agricultural University stated that there are a variety of research techniques including biological control using fishes, beetles and bites. After having discussed the various detailed aspects and techniques, Dr Joy concluded that the only practical way is to apply/use mechanical devices using mechanical harvesters. The collected weeds can be suitably disposed off for feeding fishes and also for compost making. The services of voluntary organisations, self help groups etc could be utilised for this activity. 2. Further the Deputy Collector, Kottayam stated that the only practical way is to control by allowing natural salinity intrusion through Thannirmukkom and Thottapally spillways. The Deputy Collector also described the various problems related to the large-scale presence of waterweeds faced by the Kuttanad people including the recent menace of increased snakebite cases. 3. Dr George Abe from CWRDM stated that a decision to keep the bund open is not easy as it involves several complex issues. Dr Abe for example quoted the future of three water supply projects in the Kuttanad region. The PCC environmentalist stated that the food security of the state was also a serious concern as it is necessary to retain the vast areas of paddy cultivation in the Kuttanad. 4. The PCC environmentalist stated that a report has been prepared and submitted to the Government of Kerala by an expert committee set-up by GOK with Dr James Executive Director, CWRDM as the head of the expert committee. The government Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 41 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project will examine the report to take an appropriate decision. It is also important to consider the long-term effect of salinity that will definitely affect the agricultural operations in the areas since the surface and groundwater are the part of the same system. 5. One of the participants stated that the use mechanical harvester using floating JCB and manual methods for removal could be of great help to control the waterweeds. 6. The participants presented different techniques for compost making. The vermi compost making is also a possibility but unsure about the marketing possibilities of the product. One main problem for such purposes is the land availability. The system need dry chambers, which is not practical in Kuttanad unless casting of such concrete slabs have been considered by the project. 7. Following Dr Joy of agricultural University many representatives including representative form the State Pollution Control Board (PCB) also stated that the best possible way under the present circumstances is to use mechanical harvesters even during construction and operational period of the project. 8. The KSTP team stated that the use of mechanical harvester during the construction stage would save 45Lakhs included as a contract bill of quantities (BOQ) item in the IWT Pilot component. This depends on the possibility of procuring the machine within a reasonable time of two-three months. The cost of the mechanical harvester is approximately 60-70 Lakhs. The use of mechanical harvester along the canals will not provide the desired results and therefore the use in the entire Kuttanad need to be taken up for effective control by the government. The meeting was closed at 1.30 pm with the following recommendation which was read out to all participants prior to the close of the meeting. RECOMMENDATION The meeting recommended procuring a mechanical harvester within the pilot waterways project and using it during the construction and operational phases of the project. This could be operated and maintained by the Mechanical wing of the Water Resources Department (WRD). The arrangement can continue till a concrete mechanism is evolved for renting out of the machine for various other agencies including the Inland Waterways Authority of India (TWAI). The meeting also recommended the disposal of harvester collected waterweeds by means of compost making and or to use it as a pulp material for Hindustan newsprint /local small- scale paper industrial units.

LouLis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 55 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project ANNEXURE -13 HAZARDOUS CARGO HANDLING AT NW-III TERMINALS The Alappuzha NW-III terminal (other terminals are not related to the pilot project) are also intended to handle classified hazardous cargo's as described in the Hazardous management rules of GOI according to the Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986. The IWAI has therefore carried out a study and prepared a Disaster Management Plan and Risk Analysis. The World Bank supported IWT canals are not related to the hazardous cargo transport. The terminal arrangements and hazardous cargo handling at the terminals are also not linked to the World Bank project. For these arrangements the World Bank requires much stringent measures according to the safeguard policies of the Bank. Since the Alappuzha terminals are also terminals of IWT pilot project, a copy of this report will be made available to World Bank for any additional recommendations, clarifications or guidelines. The implementation of any such recommended activity from World Bank need the ratification of Task Force constituted for IWT project implementation. The Task Force is the nodal agency identified for interagency/interdepartmental linkages. This activity will continue till all the activities realize the WB safe guard Policies. If necessary these aspects will also be disclosed to the public at the appropriate time after the finalisation as desired by the Bank ANNEXURE-14 REPORT ON THE FIELD INSPECTION FOR KSTP- IWT PILOT PROJECT DATE OF FIELD VISIT: 17 SEPTEMBER 2002 Purpose of the field visit: Ascertain the social acceptability of the proposed design for bathing ghats and also to understand the number of bathing ghats that can be constructed without protruding to the canal. Field team: PMT/PCC and Water Resources Department, Thiruvananthapuram Mr Ramakrishnan SE, Water Resources Department Mr Yohannan EE, PMT/ WRD Mr Sundara Rajan, Environmental Specialist, PCC Local Water Resources Department, Kottayam Mrs Rekha, Assistant Engineer, WRD, Kottayam. Mr Bino, Overseer, WRD Mr Sunny George, Overseer, WRD Mr Santhosh Kumar, Overseer, WRD Mrs. Kunjamma Antony, Assistant Engineer, WRD, Changanassery The team has visited the IWT project canals for public consultation regarding the proposed design for bathing ghats. Earlier the Water Resources Engineers from the Kuttanad region proposed a design for bathing ghats, which will not project towards canals. The construction of the bathing ghat will require a minimum of 7 Sq.m of land area. The team has traversed along the representative sections of the three IWT canals and consulted several local people along the sides of the water ways regarding the acceptability of the proposed bathing ghats as it require a minimum of seven square metre land area. Although the team had organised two meetings 1) at Illikkal for AK and KV canals and 2) at Kidangara for AC canal the team also consulted several individuals along the canals regarding the bathing ghat arrangements. The lists of people contacted are provided as attachment-1. Louis Berger International/Sheladia/CES/ICT 56 Kerala State Transport Project Implementation Plan For IWT Pilot Project The out come of the field visit and consultations are as follows. * Majority of the bathing ghats comes under the category of 'private'. * Very few public bathing ghats exist along the three canals compared to the total number of bathing ghats along the canals. * The newly proposed bathing ghat arrangements are permanent concrete structures and need minimum maintenance. *> A proposal for using creepers such as curtain plants can be used as a green cover * The inhabitants along the side of the canals categorically stated that they couldn't give away any land for the construction of the bathing ghats hence all bathing ghats considered are public bathing ghats with adequate government land availability. * The team estimated a total of 25 numbers of public bathing ghats along each of these canals totalling a requirement of 75 bathing ghats as per the proposed design.
