EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction 1. The Government of India has given Ganga the status of a “National River” and in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-sections (1) and (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Central Government constituted the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) on 20th February 2009, as a planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for strengthening the collective efforts of the Central and State Governments for effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the Ganga river by adopting a river basin approach with comprehensive planning and management. In regards to this initiative, under pollution abatement programme NGRBA proposes “Interception, Diversion &Sewerage System Work in Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh, under National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), following the principles of ESMF of NGRBA. 2. Further, in the year 2014 the Government of India has launched “Namami Gange” programme, which covers the previously sanctioned ongoing projects as well as the projects in new components with multi sector mandate to address both water quality and water quantity issues. The programme aims at integrating previous & currently ongoing initiatives by enhancing efficiency, extracting synergies and supplementing them with more comprehensive & better coordinated interventions. Namami Gange Programme has been segregated into two different components:  Component A: Pertains to ongoing projects of cleaning of river Ganga & its tributaries, including World Bank Assisted NGRBA programme having remaining central liabilities.  Component B: Pertains to new initiatives to be undertaken in 5 major sectors i.e. Infrastructure Development (Sewage Treatment, River Front Development, and Industrial Waste Water Treatment & Solid Waste Management), Institutional Development, Ecological Sustainability, Research & Development and Communication & Public Outreach.

Project Description

3. Agra, a historic town is situated in the Indo-Gangetic plain of India. The town is geographically located between latitude 27°11'18.40"N and longitude78° 0'31.05"E in State of Uttar Pradesh. The city of ancient culture and empire of various historic events is located at distance of about 200 km from New Delhi, the capital of India. The city of Agra is built along the river bank of Yamuna at an average elevation of 171 meter above the mean sea level. The total area of the town is 4027 sq. km. having total population of 15.85 lakhs. 4. River Yamuna forms the major drainage of the city and it flows from North to South-East of the city. The river enters the city on its northern boundary and takes a U-shape while flowing through the heart of the city. 5. As per the Environmental and Social Management Framework (NGRBA, 2020)1, the implementation of such river pollution mitigation projects under the NGRBP is anticipated to encounter a

variety of environmental and social issues/problems.1.1. Therefore the study of Environment and Social Sector is required for analyzing the impacts of proposed project and suggesting their mitigation & management plans to handle any negative impacts. In this regard the Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) has been prepared. 6. This ESDDR will provide a clear understanding of the prevailing and expected environmental and social impacts as well as their probable causes, which are to be considered while preparing and implementing the proposed interventions for strengthening the existing sewerage infrastructure of Agra.

Existing Scenario of Sewerage Facilities 7. According to information available from UP Jal Nigam, the Agra City is divided into 9 Sewerage Zones; i.e. Central Zone, Northern Zone, Western Zone, Eastern Zone, Taj Ganj Zone, Southern Zone I, Southern Zone II, South Zone III and the Cantonment Zone. With reference to drainage scheme of the Agra city, first drainage scheme was prepared in 1917, followed by a revision of the scheme in 1945 & 1965. The Agra Sewerage Master Plan was prepared by U. P. Jal Nigam in 2008. This report was prepared for a design horizon of 2050 and included the whole area of Agra.  Drains: There are total 90 drains in Agra with a discharge of 286.85 MLD. Out of which 29 drains are partially intercepted and 61 drains are untapped.  Sewer Network (Km): A total of 572.34 km. sewer lines have been laid in different Sewerage Zones, whereas, no sewer lines are existent in the Cantonment and South Zone 1.  SPS: At present the existing wastewater system consists of 26 Sewage pumping Stations out of which, two sewage pumping station are constructed by UP Avas & Vikas Parishad for its colonies. Further, no SPS is existent in Cantonment area, South Zone 1 and South Zone III.  STPs: Except, Cantonment Area, South Zone I & III, the other sewerage zones has STP. There are a total of 9 nos. of STPs having total capacity of 220.75 MLD. Presently, all 9 STPs are functioning and arein good condition. The effluent discharge quality and the other efficiency are presented in Annexure 2. The O&M has been awarded to M/s VA Tech Wabag, Chennai for 10 years by SMCG vide letter no. 067/358/SMCG-UP/(PC) dt. 14.06.2019.  Water Supply: Surface water from river Yamuna is the only source of water supply for Agra city. As per the information available from UP Jal Nigam, Agra, two water treatment plants (WTPs) supply drinking water to the consumers of Agra city. Both the treatment plants are surface water treatment plants. The source of water supply in Agra is met by surface water (280 MLD) and tube wells (9MLD).

Necessity of this project 8. Due to non-availability of sewerage system in various parts of Agra, the waste water is being discharged into open drains and ultimately discharges into river Yamuna. This has resulted in the increase of pollution level of the holy river, which is one of the main concerns for the Government and N.G.T. Hence, to prevent these drains from discharging waste water directly without any treatment in Yamuna River, the major drain tapping and providing treatment facility to clean the sewerage water has been considered, to clean the River Yamuna. Agra city, unlike other Indian cities does not have a centralized sewer system for collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of domestic and institutional wastewater. Due to tremendous population growth, influx of tourists and increased areas of habitation,

different sections of existing sewerage network1.1. are partially and/or fully chocked, carries reduced flow and the STPs are not receiving designed flow. The untreated sewerage disposal is a critical area; most of the waste water of town and from un-sewered areas is discharged directly into the drains creating unhygienic environment.

Proposed Project Activities 9. Under Namami Gange Program, following works are proposed under I&D Sewerage Scheme of Agra: a. I&D Works of 23 drains are proposed and the wastewater shall be carried to Decentralized STPs for treatment through pumping / Gravity flow. b. Sewer Line work from tapped drain to DSTPs – total length 2550 meter c. Rising Main work of 9.35 km d. Construction of Sewage Pumping Station 3 nos at MPS Burhi ka Nagla (Northern Zone), MPS Peelakhar (Eastern Zone), Additional MPS at Khairati Tola (Central zone) e. In order to tap the major drains and treating it at available nearby space, construction of 10 decentralized STPs have been proposed. In addition to this, to cater the other catchment area, construction of 3 nos. of Centralized STPs has also been proposed.

Proposed Decentralized STPs of total 11.6 MLD Sl.No. Decentralised Treatment Plants (Bio-digester Based Package Treatment) Sewerage Zone 1 1.6 MLD STP for K K Nagar Drain & Kamyeni Hospital Drain North Zone 2 0.02 MLD STP for Kailash Mandir

Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) for Interception & Diversion with Rehabilitation of sewerage scheme at Agra

Approach and Methodology 1.1. 11. An Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) is prepared by LEA Associates South Asia Private Limited, New Delhi, on the basis of Detailed Project Report (DPR) that has been prepared by UP Jal Nigam. The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF of NGRBA, 2011 revised in March 2020)2 is intended to identify and assess the several environment and social impacts (both positive and negative) that may results for the proposed river pollution sewerage project, under NGRBP, as well as to provide a corresponding management plan to handle any adverse/negative impacts. The methodology adopted for conducting Environmental and Social Due Diligence for the proposed interventions includes –  Review of available documents and primary & secondary data collection,  Describing the sub-project activities,  Describing the baseline profile of project area,  Survey and interactions / discussions with the key stakeholders,  Discussions with the host population,  Screening Activities,  Identification and analysis of impacts,  Formulation of Management Action Plan,  Preparation of ESDDR

Project Screening 12. The project screening was carried out to understand the nature, scale and magnitude of environmental and social impact associated with the project. The screening activity was conducted as per the guidelines provided in Environmental and Social Management Framework of NGRBA (2011 revised in March 2020) and on the secondary data analysis, field assessments and stakeholder interactions/consultations. The E&S Screening was carried out based on ESMF guideline, which indicates that the project falls in ‘high impact’ category. Please refer Annexure 1 of this report. Based on the initial Environmental screening, Agra Sewerage Project has been rated under High risk zone because of following reasons:  The project area falls in the Taj Trapezium which is Declared Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESAs) under "The Environment (Protection) Act (EPA), 1986";  it involve felling of 704 number of trees in notified ESAs area and also involve diversion of 0.97 ha of forest land which are notified forest under " The India Forest Act-1927". Please refer Section 6.1.1 (Para No. 136) of the Report.

Baseline Environmental and Social Features 13. The baseline information forms the basis to analyze the probable impacts of the proposed project vis-à-vis the present background environmental and social quality of the study area. The baseline information pertaining to the physio-chemical, ecological, socio-economic and cultural aspects for the project area has been collated from various secondary sources and available literature. The information on

the baseline environmental and social conditions1.1. were gathered through primary surveys at strategic locations considering various project components like laying of sewer line, construction of SPS, IPS, STPs, etc.

Environmental and Social Impacts and their Mitigation 14. Though the project envisages environmental and social impacts, however they are temporary in nature and can be mitigated with the proper implementation safeguard measures suggested in the ESDDR designed for the project along with effective monitoring of the implementation. The project is expected to benefit the city, as the wastewater that currently generated, flows untreated into the River Yamuna will be tapped, treated at designated STPs and treated effluent will be allowed to flow into the Yamuna river. 15. Agra city is governed by Municipal Corporation which comes under Agra Metropolitan region of Uttar Pradesh State. The city has a population of 15.85 lakhs and the Agra urban/metropolitan area population is 17.74 lakhs of which 9.39 lakhs are males and 8.20 lakhs are females. The sub-project area falls in Agra tehsil of Agra district. The project tehsil exists with Agra metropolitan regions (it includes Agra Municipal Corporation, Cantonment area, Dayal bagh Nagar Palika, Swamibagh Nagar Palika and Azizpur, Patholi, Deoretha, Kalwari, Dehtora, Artauni, Nainana Jat, Dhanauli, Rohta, Kaulakha, Nainana-Brahman census towns) and other adjoining 33 villages. The sex ratio of the project city is 875 females per thousand males. The literacy rate of Agra city as per 2011 census is 73.11 percent, slightly higher than the Tehsil average (73.07%). The total workers in project city are 5.16 lakhs (32.59% of the total population), in which main workers consists of 25.26 percent, marginal workers are 7.33 percent and non-workers contribution is 67.41 percent as per census 2011. 16. The city has approximately 252 slums (notified) with 30 percent of population and 96,000 households (approximately) located in Agra Municipal Corporation area having electricity and tap water connection. . Proposed sub-project is located within the Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ), a Notified Ecologically Sensitive Area which is a trapezoid shaped. This TTZ spread over an area of 10,400 sq. km. around the Taj Mahal and a buffer zone designed to protect the historic monument from pollution. The Supreme Court of India through Interlocutory Application No. 103908 of 2019 in Writ Petition (Civil) NO. 13383 of 1984 in the matter of M.C. Mehta VS Union of India & Other through order “There shall be no impediment for the authorities to consider pending environmental Clearances which are necessary to secure essential amenities within TTZ”. The Supreme Court Order dated 6th December 2019 (Annexure 3). . There are 3 ASI protected monuments - Mehtab Bagh, Humayun Mosque and Gyarah Sidi near the Kachhpura village. None of project STPs and DSTPs falling within the regulatory zone of 300 meters of ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA, NEW DELHI, THE 16TH JUNE 1992 Gazette Notification. Therefore, no prior permission is required under this notification for project implementation. . The Sewerage and STP Scheme at Agra (Artoni DSTP) is located at a distance of 5.26 km towards East to Sur Sarovar Bird Sanctuary. The Eco-Sensitive Zone has been demarcated to be 1 km from boundary of sanctuary through the Gazette of India; No. 3319, New Delhi, Thursday, October 10, 2019. Hence it is exempted from obtaining NoC from State Board for Wildlife.

. The proposed STP and DSTP under the project1.1. in Agra city is falling under TTZ zone. However, eco- friendly projects (like STP etc.) are allowed with permission from State pollution control board as per latest Supreme Court Order dated 6th December 2019 (Annexure 3). . About 0.97 hectare of forest land is required for 8 DSTPs in different area of the city (northern and eastern zone of sewerage plan of Agra), for which prior permission under “The Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 are required for diversion of forest area for installation of DSTP from the Regional Office of MoEF&CC, Lucknow. . The land identified for establishment of 100 MLD STP Dhandupura is available within existing STP. This land has good canopy cover, which would involve felling of approximately 704 trees under TTZ regulated area. Tree felling permission would be required from the TTZ regulatory authority to use the existing land available within the existing STP. . As an option to avoid felling of 704 tree within the TTZ, YPCU has mulled over another private land just adjacent to existing STP. In case of delay happens in the TTZ approval from Supreme Court for tree felling, the private land purchase will be preferred, as per UP Negotiation (Mutual Consent) Policy, 2015. . The screening checklist of project planning and sites reiterates that the project will not adversely affect the livelihood, but prior permissions in case of forest land, TTZ, revenue department will be required for the project STPs. . The project will not have any adverse impact on the tribal population. . The likely anticipated impacts on environment would be overcome by suggesting mitigation measures and proposing project specific environmental & social management plan. Appropriate Sludge Management Plan shall be prepared by the Concessionaire. Suitable site should also be identified by the Concessionaire for the safe disposal of sludge generated at the STP. The Concessionaire shall also need to identify specific site for intermittent storage of waste from SPS and STP sites. . The project will not have any adverse impact on vulnerable and Scheduled Caste community for laying mains. Since all the DSTPs are proposed in the forest land, no diversion structure is required. Most of the project site is at a distance from the settlement. As per the consultations conducted, the participants expressed their relief and satisfaction that the open drains will be channelized and treated.

1. INTRODUCTION

1. River Ganga, along with her many tributaries, has been the source of physical and spiritual sustenance of Indian civilization for millennia, and consequently, her well-being is of prime national concern. It is the largest river basin in India in terms of catchment area and constitutes almost 26 percent of the country’s land mass, near about 30 percent of country’s water resources and supports more than 40 percent of country’s population3. The delta of the Ganga basin is one of the largest in the world, which is known by Sundarbans. It is the 20th longest river in Asia. Drainage of the River traverses through 11 States of the country (Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi), where largely covered States are Uttar Pradesh (28.02 %), Bihar (10.86%), West Bengal (8.3%), Uttarakhand (6.15%) and Jharkhand (5.85%). In addition to the physical resource value, the economic, environmental and cultural value of river Ganga is enormous in India. The Ganga also serves as one of India’s holiest rivers whose cultural and spiritual significance is widely known.

2. Despite this iconic status and religious heritage, the Ganga River today is facing formidable pollution pressures, along with the attendant threats to its biodiversity and environmental sustainability. An ever-growing population, together with inadequately planned urbanization and industrialization, has affected the quality of the river’s water. Today, the Ganga’s waters are sullied by the incessant outpouring of sewage, as well as by the large volumes of solid and industrial waste that are churned out by human and economic activity along the river’s banks. According to the reports, the main causes of extreme pollution pressures in river Ganga includes (i) inadequacy of municipal waste water infrastructure and services, (ii) inadequacy of industrial effluent management, (iii) solid waste and non-point pollution sources, and (iv) inadequate in-stream flows. 3. The World Bank recognizes that the pollution in River Ganga is primarily a result of inadequate infrastructure, the weak capacity of local water and wastewater utilities in the basin, and the poor state of environmental monitoring and regulation. The Government of India (GoI) has received loan assistance from the World Bank for the Mission Clean Ganga related activities under NGRBA Program (later which is included as one of the component of the Namami Gange Programme) at the level of institutional development, operational and implementation support and in four sectors, namely, wastewater collection and treatment, industrial pollution control, solid waste management and riverfront development. 4. At the Central level, the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) registered as a society on 12th August 2011 under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, was constituted as an authority to ensure implementation of Namami Gange Programme. At State level, State Mission for Clean Ganga (SMCGs) were set-up as registered societies in the respective states, namely Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal while Jharkhand has a dedicated nodal cell within the Department of Urban Development was set up.

5. NMCG acted as implementation arm 1.1. of National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) which was constituted under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act (EPA), 1986. NGRBA has since been dissolved with effect from the 07th October 2016, consequent to the constitution of National Council for Rejuvenation, Protection and Management of River Ganga (referred as National Ganga Council) vide Notification No. S.O. 3187(E), dated 07th October 2016 under EPA 1986 and subsequent amendments vide Notification No. S.O. 1793(E), dated the 21st May, 2019 and Notification No. S.O. 3163(E), dated 02nd September, 2019. 6. The current focus of World Bank funded National Ganga River Basin Projects (NGRBP) under National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) is on six participating States namely Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. The National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), the implementing wing of Namami Gange Programme has appointed LEA Associates South Asia Private Limited, New Delhi, as a Consulting agency for the preparation of Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) for “Interception, Diversion & Sewerage System Work In Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh, under National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), following the principles of ESMF of NGRBA.

1.1. NAMAMI GANGE PROGRAMME 7. The Government of India has launched “Namami Gange” as an Integrated Conservative Mission Programme in the year 2014. The Namami Gange programme is an umbrella programme which covers the previously sanctioned ongoing projects as well as the projects in new components with multi sector mandate to address both water quality and water quantity issues. The programme aims at integrating previous and currently ongoing initiatives by enhancing efficiency, extracting synergies and supplementing them with more comprehensive and better coordinated interventions. Namami Gange Programme has been segregated into two different components:  Component A: Pertains to ongoing projects of cleaning of river Ganga & its tributaries, including World Bank Assisted NGRBA programme having remaining central liabilities.  Component B: Pertains to new initiatives to be undertaken in 5 major sectors i.e. Infrastructure Development (Sewage Treatment, River Front Development, and Industrial Waste Water Treatment & Solid Waste Management), Institutional Development, Ecological Sustainability, Research & Development and Communication & Public Outreach.

8. The Namami Gange Programme will be implemented in the Ganga Basin in India. The overall technical assistance and program development under the proposed project will focus on the entire Ganga Basin; however specific sub-project investments under this project will focus on critical stretches of six basin states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh in India. 9. A comprehensive, basin-level, and multi-sectoral approach has been adopted, with support for investments in waste water, solid waste and river front management, industrial effluent management, address non-point source of pollution and maintaining ecological flows and assessment of biodiversity

2.2. EXISTING SCENARIO OF SEWERAGE FACILITIES IN AGRA CITY 2.2.1. Overview of Sewerage Zones of Agra 15. According to information available from the UP Jal Nigam, Agra city is divided into 9 Sewerage Zones; i.e. Central Zone, Northern Zone, Western Zone, Eastern Zone, TajGanj Zone, Southern Zone I, Southern Zone II, South Zone III and the Cantonment Zone as shown below: East Zone 16. It covers full area of Trans Yamuna. The existing sewerage infrastructure in the zone consists of YAP-I interception & diversion work through two IPS (IPS Naraich, IPS Etmad-ud-daula), one MPS (MPS Peelakhar) and a STP (10MLD at Peelakhar).

North Zone 17. This zone lies to the north of CIS area above NH-2 bypass. At present water from Burhi ka Nagla nala is tapped & diverted by MPS to 2.25 MLD STP at Buri ka Nagla. Manoharpur , Anurag nagar, Amar Vihar-I,II drains are tapped and diverted to 14 MLD STP at Jaganpur. West Zone 18. This zone lies on the west of CIS area, surrounded by central railway line and Fatehpur Sikri railway line. Almost all water comes to central zone by nala and existing Mantola trunk sewer. This zone has two IPS, one MPS and two STP’s viz. 40 MLD at Bichpuri&36 MLD STP at Sadarban. 40 MLD STP is maintained by U.P. Jal Nigam while 36 MLD STP is maintained by ADA. Central Zone 19. This zone houses main city area of CIS Zone. It is highly dense & fully urbanized. Many areas are saturated in development. This zone is sewered and includes catchments of IPS Rajwah, IPS Balkeshwar,

Final Report

IPS Sub Balkeshwar, IPS Water Works, IPS Bhairon,1.1. IPS Khoja and MPS Khairati tola. At present flows from IPS Rajwah& IPS Balkeshwar are diverted to Water Works nala and from IPS Water Works to MPS Khairatitola. 20. Part of the flow from existing sewer system is lifted to Yamuna Kinara Trunk Sewer at Sub Balkeshwar IPS where it is connected with the Water Works nala and finally pumped to existing MPS KhairatiTola. 21. IPS Bhairon intercepts flows of Paliwal and Belanganjnalas divert them to Bhaironnala by conveyance mains and are then diverted to MPS Khairati Tola. IPS Khoja intercepts Khoja nala and directs to MPS Khairati Tola 22. MPS KhairatiT ola takes flows from Water Works, Bhairon, and Khoja IPSs, Mantolanala and Mantola sewer, Baluganjnala and Yamuna Kinara trunk sewer to 78 MLD STP at Dhandhupura. At present water from west zone, south zone 1, cantonment, Tajganj & part of north zone also join central zone.

Cantonment Zone 23. This Zone has only one catchment and lies on the lower side of central zone with Tajganj Zone on the Eastern side. At present no sewers or I&D works exist in this zone; zone drains to Mantolanala and Dholikar sewer and finally to MPS at Khairati Tola and then to STP at Dhandupura. Tajganj Zone 24. This area covers southeast part of CIS Zone surrounding the historical monuments Taj Mahal. Many development works are under taken in this zone under Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) program. Presently there is no sewerage system in this zone and flows of this zone are drained by Taj East nala and Taj West nala to Yamuna River. Part of the flow reaches MPS at Khairati Tola. But under TTZ scheme, sewers are being laid and wastewater flow is taken care of by four catchments, three IPSs and one MPS. Whole of the flow is taken care of by the TTZ scheme and is proposed to be taken to 78 MLD STP at Dhandupura. South Zone I 25. This Zone covers the urban settlement to the south-west of CIS area surrounded by central railway line & Fatehpur Sikri railway line and includes the area of Shahganj, airport, surrounding area of airport etc. and substantial area of more recent development. This zone also includes two census towns named Azizpur & Dhandauli having high density. At present no sewer system exists in this zone & wastewater is disposed to nala, which mostly reach to Mantolanala. But water from villages reaches Khari River.

South Zone II 26. This zone lies south of CIS area outside of Agra Nagar Nigam boundary. This zone comprises mostly of villages coming in the projected horizons. At present no sewer system exists in this zone & partly flow reaches central zone & partly Khari River. 27. This zone is divided by two catchments (Nainakijat &Fatehabad). The area is currently undeveloped but is expected to develop steadily. There are no sewers in this zone.

Final Report

Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) for Interception & Diversion with Rehabilitation of sewerage scheme at Agra

 There are total 90 surface drains having1.1. cumulative discharge of 286.64 MLD in Agra, which are carrying the waste water load and falling in Yamuna River. Out of these 90 drains-  29 drains having cumulative discharge of 269 MLD have been tapped under previous schemes.  Remaining 61 drains having cumulative discharge of approximately 18 MLD are untapped and are falling into River Yamuna with flows ranging between 0.001 MLD to 1.91 MLD.  Of total 61 drains, 38 drains having total capacity of 6.40 work has been tendered out under state fund.  Remaining 23 drains having total discharge of 11.6 are proposed to be tapped and treat under the present project of I&D Sewerage scheme of Agra.  Sewer Network (Km): A total of 572.34 km Sewer lines are laid in different Sewerage Zone, Cantonment and South Zone 1 is not have sewer line underlaid.  SPS: At present the existing wastewater system consists of 26 Sewage pumping Stations out of which two sewage pumping station are constructed by UP Avas& Vikas Parishad for its colonies. Out of total Sewerage zone, Cantonment area, South Zone 1 and South Zone III three has not any SPS.  STPs: Except, cantonment Area, South Zone I & III, the other sewerage zones has STP. The Total existing STP are 9 nos. having total capacity of 220.75 MLD. Presently functioning of all 9 STPs are in good condition. The effluent discharge quality and the other efficiency are presented in Annexure 2. O&M has been awarded to M/s VA Tech Wabag, Chennai for 10 years by SMCG vide letter no. 067/358/SMCG-UP/(PC) dated 14.06.2019.  Water Supply: Surface water from river Yamuna is the only source of water supply for Agra city. As per available information from UP Jal Nigam, two water treatment plants (WTPs) supplies drinking water to the consumers of Agra city. Both the treatment plants are surface water treatment plants. The source of water supply in Agra is met by surface water (280 MLD) and tube wells (9MLD). The rate of water supply in Agra is taken 150 lpcd as per GOI guideline for design of Sewerage facility Project. Recommended rate of water supply as per CPHEEO Manual on water supply is 150 lpcd at consumer end + unaccounted for water (15%). There is an extreme shortage of water in the river Yamuna during summer5.

5 Government of India requested Japan Bank for International Co-operation for an Official Development Assistance loan for the Agra Water Supply (Ganga Jal) Project, which aims at improving living conditions by providing reliable water supply through construction of water supply system from Palra fall of Upper Ganga Canal to Agra and Mathura/Vrindavan. Under this project it is proposed to bring 350 MLD of water to Agra. Presently the work on the said project is in progress which is likely to be completed by the mid of year 2020 , after the completion of Ganga Jalproject; demand of water for Agra town shall be fulfilled

2.4. NECESSITY OF THIS PROJECT 31. Due to non-availability of sewerage system in various parts of Agra, the waste water is being discharged into open drains which ultimately discharge into river Yamuna, resulting the increase in pollution level of the holy river, which is main concern of the Government and N.G.T. Hence to prevent these drains discharging waste water directly without any treatment in Yamuna River, the major Drain tapping and providing treatment facility to clean the sewerage water is considered to clean the River Yamuna. Agra city unlike other Indian cities does not have a centralized sewer system for collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of domestic and institutional wastewater. Due to tremendous population growth and increased areas of habitation, different sections of existing sewers network are partially and/or fully chocked, carries reduced flow and the STPs are not receiving designed flow. The untreated sewerage disposal is a critical area; most of the waste water of town and from un-sewered areas is discharged directly into the drains creating unhygienic environment. The population density of the city is 11,167 persons per sq.km, which is considerably high, compared to other class B cities in Uttar Pradesh. The floating population is around 0.3 million (Agra Jal Sansthan, 2015). The census data on decadal population of Agra (Municipal Corporation) since year 1991 is presented in figure below:

Figure 2-5: Population Growth Trend of Agra 32. Likewise, the effluents of industries, effluent of different slaughter houses are also discharged directly into the drains without any treatment. In order to reduce pollution load of major drains of Agra, the existing sewerage network necessities renovation and strengthening, so that the wastewater would be treated before its discharge to River Yamuna, which finally joins with the Ganga River at downstream near Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh.

2.5. PROPOSED PROJECT ACTIVITIES 2.5.1. Agra Sewerage Scheme (I&D Works) 33. Following proposals were made under Namami Gange Scheme-  Interception & Diversion of untapped drains  Rennovation / Rehabilation / Upgardation of existing SPS/STPs  Renovation of existing interception works  Construction of 3 nos. Centralised Sewage Treatment Plant  Construction of 10 nos. De- Centralised Sewage Treatment Plant 34. However, vide SMCG letter no. 067/358/SMCG-UP/(PC) (Annexure 8), dated 14.06.2019, Operation & Maintenance of existing STPs has been awarded to M/s VA Tech Wabag, Chennai for 10 years, hence, proposed works are curtailed accordingly and scope of work of the project has been revised. The remaining works of the tapping of 37 untapped drains (out of total 60 drains) having discharge of 6.38 MLD will be carried out by State Sector/extension of scope under the M/s VA Tech Wabag contract in future projects as approved by NMCG/SMCG. Rehabilitation/Renovation/Repair of existing assets including tapping of excess discharge of tapped drains is under the scope of work of M/s VA Tech Wabag for 10 years.

40. As per DPR as well discussion with UPJN,1.1. each drain wise projected Municipal water discharge has been estimated, which is also based on projected population 2035. The estimated average flow for each drain has been taken into consideration for all DSTPs. Refer Annexure 11 showing estimations of STP & DSTPs capacity & Annexure 12 shows the measurement taken by YPCU for all drains. As per DPR, area of STP provision has been estimated based on GOI Public Health Engineering Manual (CPHEEO) by UPJN. 41. In this way, the objective to prevent untreated wastewater of drains falling into River Yamuna from Agra region will be achieved and the effluent standard norms as set by NGT shall be met accordingly. Concessionaire shall be responsible to follow the lasted discharge standard as prescribed by NGT in year 2019 for treated water from all DSTPs and CSTPs proposed under the project. This shall be further assured by implementing agency (UPJN). The characteristics of treated effluent of proposed STP’s are as given in the table below:-

Table 2-5 : Characteristics of treated effluent Parameters Standards for treated sewage effluent for disposal into water bodies Biochemical Oxygen Demand BOD (mg/l) <10 Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (mg/l) 50 Total Suspended Solids TSS (mg/l) <20 Total Nitrogen (mg/l) <10 Ammonical Nitrogen (mg/l) <5 Total Phosphorus (mg/l) 1.0 Faecal Coliform MPN/100 ml : Desirable, Permissible <100, 230 Source: As per Hon’ble NGT Order dt. 30 April 2019 & SMCG Letter No. 0792/0312/SMCG/02 dt. 09 July 2019

2.6. DISPOSAL OF TREATED EFFLUENT 42. The treated effluent of STP will be used preferably for irrigation purposes and during the rainy season it will be discharged into the river Yamuna. The other alternative measure to reuse the water such as in washing, gardening should be explored by concessionaire. Presently Agricultural farmers used to tap treated water from Jaganpur and Dhandupura STPs as per their requirement (basically in crop sowing period), but no formal details were available during site visits and interaction of ESDDR. No dedicated irrigation channel has been provided in the existing STPs. 43. Under the project component, total 177 MLD water is proposed for Sewerage treatment. With concern of location planned by UPJN for CSTP and DSTP, the potential of reuse of available treated water shall be considered. Locations of all 10 DSTPs (11.6 MLD) are proposed near by the Yamuna river bank within ranging from 200 M to 1000m, and is also occupy out skirts of the city. Therefore, treated water shall be preferably used for irrigation purposes in nearby farm field and during the rainy season it will be discharged into the river Yamuna. 44. Three CSTPs (166 MLD) are proposed in existing STP premises, where presently treated water are used for irrigation in pre monsoon season, but mostly treated water are getting conveyed in the River Yamuna. The existing water effluent channel provided for STP shall be upgraded to carry the discharge from proposed STPs. Currently 500m to 1500m treated water effluent channel has been provided in the existing STPs at Jaganpur, Peelakhar & Dhandupura. In this Way, treated water shall be

preferably used for irrigation purposes in nearby1.1. farm field and during the rainy season it will be discharged into the river Yamuna. As per latest NGT standard, BOD of treated water shall be less than 10 mg/l, the provision of using treated water in nearby agricultural field may be recommended.

2.7. DISPOSAL OF SLUDGE 45. Faecal Sludge: With view of economic considerations related to distance and transport, addition of Faecal sludge has been taken into consideration at all nearby proposed STPS and MPS to maximize catchment, and provide suitable management. 46. Sludge disposal present STPs: Presently there is no provision for Bio-digester in the existing STP (total 9) located in Agra city. Majorly STPS are based on USAB and FAB technology; sludge drying beds are uses for drying the sludge. As per reported by STP Operator & UPJN support staff, using of dried sludge from Jaganpur and Dhandupura STPs has been in practice but only in dry season. The extra amount of sludge is being disposed to Municipal corporations’ dumping site at Kuberpur, Agra. This is located at 5km from the city of Agra. Some times as per requirement the dried sludge are used for landscaping, gardening of STPs, UPJN offices. 47. Sludge Disposal in Proposed STP: In the proposed STPs of total 166 MLD (Centralized STPS) and 11.6 MLD (Decentralized STPs), the provision of Sludge thickener/ filter press has been included. After dewatering the sludge, the sludge weight shall be reduced upto 40-20%. The dried sludge may be used as manure, soil conditioner, fertilizer in the agricultural field. As per the design of the STP, the generated sludge shall be digested first and only after digestion, it will be handed over to local farmers for agriculture purpose. The sequence of such handling over of sludge to the farmers shall be developed through a sludge management plan by the concessionaire. The surplus amount of Sludge generating form STPs and DSTPs shall be disposed to Municipal Corporation’s authorized dumping site at Kuberpur. This is located 5 km from existing CSTPs. MoU between UP Jal Nigam (implementing agency) & Municipal corporation Agra has been done for dumping of extra sludge and garbage from the STP sites to authorized Solid Waste Dump site of Agra (please refer Annexure 15). Concessionaire shall be responsible to get the Bio chemical quality check of dried sludge before handling to farmer or using as soil conditioner in nearby area. The sludge disposal standard as per CPHEEO 2016 has been presented in annexure 9. For dewatered septage/sludge agriculture application, it should satisfy the following criteria of Class A Bio solids of USEPA either by lime stabilization, solar drying and or composting. • A faecal coliform density of less than 1,000 MPN/g total dry solids • Salmonella sp. density of less than 3 MPN per 4 g of total dry solids (3 MPN/4 g TS) 48. Appropriate Sludge Management Plan shall be prepared by the Concessionaire. Suitable site should also be identified by the Concessionaire within the project premises for the safe storage of sludge before disposal to engineered landfill site located at Kuberpur. This engineered Kuberpur landfill site is about 5 km from Agra City, is currently handling waste generated from the municipal area of Agra City. It spread over an area of 75 Acres and had obtained Environmental Clearance from State Environmental Impact Assessment Committee, Uttar Pradesh. The designed life of this engineered landfill site is for 25 years. (refer annexure 15).

49. The Concessionaire shall also need 1.1. to identify specific locations for intermittent storage of waste from SPS and STP within sites. The necessary safeguard measures associated with the storage and disposal of sludge are provided in the ESMAP (Annexure-6 ESAMP) of this report.

2.8. BIO ENERGY 50. For generating of bio energy from STPs, consistent higher amount of BOD shall be required (possibly more than 300 BOD), therefore provision of Bio energy generation has been included in Centralized STPS. In Agra Sewerage Project, provision of Biodigester has been proposed for all three CSTPs. Energy generated form STP’s may be used for different energy demanding processes, fuel etc. In Bio digestion process, a large fraction of the organic matter (sludge) used to break down into carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), and this is accomplished in the absence of oxygen. About half of the amount is then converted into gases, while the remainder is dried and becomes a residual soil-like material (dry sludge). The decentralized STPs are having capacity ranges from 0.02 to 1.6 MLD, where arrangement for energy generation will be not so significant. Digestion reduces the total mass of solids, destroys pathogens, and makes it easier to dewater or dry the sludge. Digested sludge is inoffensive, having the appearance and characteristics of a rich soil.

2.9. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE 51. It is anticipated that entire work will be completed within 2 years from the date of commencement.

2.10. AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR EXECUTION OF O&M WORKS 52. Agency responsible for execution of work is U.P. Jal Nigam, Agra Zone which is headed by Chief Engineer assisted by General Manager, Yamuna Pollution control Unit there after Project Manager, YPCU/CU, U.P. Jal Nigam, Agra. 53. The proposed interventions involve numerous construction allied to STPs and I&D works. Accordingly, the available Project Staffs of UP Jal Nigam/YPCU, Agra Division shall be trained and assigned for dedicatedly monitoring as well as ensure compliance of environmental and social safeguard measures associated with the day to day construction activities of the proposed project.

2.11. TOTAL COST 54. As per NMCG guidelines, 100% of the project cost is as granted by GoI. Cost estimates and Operation & maintenance cost for the works proposed in the DPR is Rs. 85524.42 lakhs. The ESAMP cost has been considered around 1% of the total Cost, which is coming Rs. 317.72 Lakhs while Cost of necessary clearances /permissions (such as TTZ Approval & forest Approval) is Rs. 1270.87 Lakhs.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PROFILE OF PROJECT AREAS

71. This section briefly describes the baseline environmental and social profile of the study area. Agra city is situated on the western bank of river Yamuna in the State of Uttar Pradesh and can be accessed by the National Highway (NH- 2) and is about 200 kms. from Delhi. Agra is geographically located at 27°12' North latitude and 78°12' East longitude. It has an extremely strategic location at the confluence of three distinct geo-physical regions namely the plains of Uttar Pradesh, the plateau of Madhya Pradesh and the desert of Rajasthan. The city also falls within the centre of the four culture rich areas of Braj, Bundelkhand, Rajputana and western UP.

5.1. ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE 5.1.1. Physiography & Soil 72. Agra city is famous for Taj Mahal and its other archaeological buildings. Agra is one of the prominent zone of Taj Trapezium (TTZ), which comprises an area of 10,400 sq.km covering districts of Agra, Firozabad, Mathura, Hathras, Etah, and Bharatpur district of Rajasthan. TTZ comprising 40 protected monuments including three world heritage sites i.e. Taj Mahal, Agra fort and Fatehpur Sikri. Taj Mahal is one of the Seven Wonders of the World notified in the World heritage list of the UNESCO. 73. The predominant nature of soil of Agra is loose, sandy and calcareous. The city falls in Indo- Gangetic plain, the river Yamuna flows through the city. The area is characterized by alluvium, which is an admixture of gravel, sand, silt and clay in various proportions, deposited during the Quaternary period. The study area is a part of Indo-Gangetic alluvium of quaternary age and is made up of recent unconsolidated fluviatile formations comprising sand, silt, clay and grit (kankar) with occasional beds of gravel. There are some underground rocks of quartzite and sand stone of Vindhyan-series in the west and south west of Agra. The top soil is coarse and angular sand with small clay fraction. The sub-soil is sandy throughout. Sand and silt is slightly alkaline to saline in nature, Saline soil seems brown while alkaline are grey and sticky in nature. The topography of the area is largely flat. Saline soils are generally brown.

75. In soil testing report heavy metal are 1.1.recorded as slightly high, but within common range7 of soil. The nature of sampling site is basically waste land or open dump area within the existing STPs, therefore theses ranges are high. Iron in soil is considered a plant micronutrient; it is necessary for the formation of chlorophyll and functions in some of the enzymes of the plant’s respiratory system. The higher concentration of Ca and Mg has reflected in high pH.

5.1.2. Seismicity 1.1. 76. As per seismic hazard map of State of Uttar Pradesh, Agra falls in Moderate damage risk seismic zone III and corresponds to MSK intensity VII. In consideration to this, due measures should be incorporated in designing of water/waste-water retaining structures. (viz. Sewage lifting Station or Wastewater Treatment Plants, as per provision of the Code).

Agra

Figure 5-3: Seismic Map of State of Uttar Pradesh 77. Climate and weather: Agra region is a semi-arid area bounded by Thar Desert on its southwest, west and northwest peripheries. Agra is situated 169 m above mean sea level. The climate of the city is basically characterized by extreme hot summers, cold winters and a general dry weather except monsoon season. The maximum temperature of the area during summer ranges8 from 40-45o C, while minimum 4-6o C during winters. Annual rainfall has been recorded to be 900-1000 mm throughout the year. The relative humidity varies from 60-70% during south west monsoon. Wind blows generally from south-west to west direction or from east to south-east. Thus the climate of the Agra city is strongly affected by the geology of neighboring state of Rajasthan. As per IMD data on rainfall of the last 5 years, Figure 5-4 shows that the month of July in the year 2018 had received more rainfall in comparison to the other years. It also reveals that the months from April to June are the hotter months of the year in Agra, with May being the hottest. Construction is suggested to be done in the period which avoids the peak monsoon period (July, August &

The graphical representation of Ambient Air Quality data being recorded at monitoring station Nunhai, Agra by State Pollution Control Board in the year 2019 is presented in Figure 5-5. The location of monitoring station is Nunhai, which falls under eastern zone of sewerage of Agra (located around 300 m from Peelakhar STP). The concentration of PM10 varies from 70.3 µg/m3 during monsoon season to 322 µg/m3 during April, hence much higher than the National Ambient Air Quality standard of 100 µg/m3. The concentration of SO2 & NO2 is within the CPCB standard. However the maximum concentration of NO2 has been recorded to be 38.4 µg/m3 during the post monsoon season, a little higher than the prescribed standard. In Agra, busy congested roads, vehicular activities and ongoing construction in nearby region (NH work, Railway Line laying etc.) may be possible causes of having higher level of PM10. In order to prevent the increase of suspended particulate matter in project location, corresponding measures should be undertaken during construction stage (preventive measures are presented in EMP of the Report- Annexure-6).

5.1.4. Water environment 83. Yamuna River is the biggest tributary of River Ganga. The Yamuna River originates in the Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand from the Yamunotri glacier near Banderpoonch peaks (6,320 msl). Yamuna River flows through Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and reach Delhi near Palla village after traversing for about 224 km where in further downstream, Yamuna flows through the Agra city. Agra city is built along the bank of River Yamuna. It is one major and perennial river of the region. The river enters the city on its northern boundary and takes a U-shape while crossing through the heart of the city. River Yamuna forms the major drainage of the city and it flows from North to South-East of the city. 84. Water Quality of River Yamuna- The three organic and bacteriological parameters DO, BOD and Total coliform have been studied for various upstream and downstream stations of Figure 5-9- Yamuna River Basin map River Yamuna at Agra. Consecutively three years data have been studied for the assessment. All the secondary data have been sourced from the one provided by Regional office, Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board, Agra.

The District covers an area of 4,041 sq.km (total Geographical Area) of which the area under forest cover i.e moderate dense forest is 63 sq.km and open forest is 272 sq.km; which is 6.73% of the geographical area. 93. Of the total available forest area in the district about 1.16 ha of forest area will be affected which will be utilized for construction of STPs. During primary site visit of these affected forest area, the site witness extensive growth of shrubs i.e Acacia Sp. followed by scatted growth of Acacia nilotica (Babul) and Acacia catcehu (Kikar) which are dominant tree species. Other trees reports are neem, semal, Cassia sp, Siris, Sissoo sp., Chitwan, Chilbil, etc. 94. The proposed project area, forest lands diverted for establishment of STP are having mostly Acacia sp., which are naturally species reported in this climatic zone. Felling of trees will be minimized by modifying the site layout, where service area a planned. To utilize the forest land , the UP Jal Nigam (YPCU) need to apply for diversion of these forest area under The Forest (Conservation), 1980 to the Ministry of Environmental Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) online forest portal. After obtaining the forest diversion approval, from the state forest department (regional office of Moef&CC), these land can be utilized for establishment of DSTPs.

Agra city is governed by Municipal Corporation which comes under Agra Metropolitan region of Uttar Pradesh State, India and the city has population of 15.85 lakhs and its other urban/metropolitan area population includes total 17.74 lakhs of which 9.39 lakhs are males and 8.20 lakhs are females. The sub- project area of falls in Agra tehsil of Agra district. The project tehsil exists with Agra metropolitan regions (it includes Agra Municipal Corporation, cantonment area, Dayal bagh Nagar Palika, Swamibagh Nagar Palika and Azizpur, Patholi, Deoretha, Kalwari, Dehtora, Artauni, Nainana Jat, Dhanauli, Rohta, Kaulakha, Nainana- Brahman census towns) and other adjoining 33 villages.. 5.2.1. Population 103. Project tehsil population is 21.86 lakh in 2011 which was 17.53 lakh in 2001. Population of the taluka grew at an Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR) of 2.47 percent during the period 2001 to 2011. The total urban population residing in the project taluka during 2001 was 13.74 lakh which increased to 17.74 lakh in 2011 with an AAGR of 2.91 percent, which covers almost (89%) Agra City of 15.85 lakhs population. The continuous population growth in the city has resulted in pollution pressure on River Ganga. Thus the project will help to reduce the pollution by minimising the sewage outpour to the river by proposing decentralised STPs and centralised STPs with increased capacity to cater to the ever increasing population growth. 104. Total population of Agra city is 15.85 lakh, which is almost 72 percent to the Tehsil population of which 8.45 lakhs are males while 7.39 lakhs are females as per Census 2011. The City population as per census 2001 and 1991 it was 12.75 and 8.91 lakhs respectively.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARD DUE DILIGENCE

116. The process of environmental and social due diligence was accomplished through the review of available documents viz. Detailed Project Reports (DPR) and other literatures related to environmental and social aspects of the project area. Site visits / field surveys, detailed interactions with key stakeholders and consultations with host communities at site wherever feasible are also conducted to identify and assess the anticipated environmental and social impacts associated with the proposed project, as well as to develop an Environmental and Social Management Action Plan (ESMAP) recommending suitable mitigation measures.

6.1. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS DUE DILIGENCE – FINDINGS 6.1.1. Environmental and Social Assessment 117. As on date, no previous environmental and social study has been carried out for Agra sewerage system project. The E&S Screening carried out as per ESMF guideline shows that the project falls in ‘high impact’ category (please refer Annexure 1). The major outcomes of the screening are given under: . The Sewerage and STP Scheme at Agra is not located within Eco-Sensitive Zone of any Protected area/national Park /Eco sensitive zones . The proposed STP and DSTP under the project in Agra city falls under Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ). TTZ is an Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESAs) identified and notified by the Indian Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) since 1989. Notifications declaring areas as ESAs are issued under the Environment (Protection) Act 1986. However, eco-friendly projects (like STP etc.) are allowed with permission from State pollution control board as per latest Supreme Court Order dated 6th December 2019 (Annexure 3 attached). It involves felling 704 nos. of trees. . Around 0.97 hectare of forest land is required for 8 DSTPs in different location of the city (northern and eastern zone of sewerage plan of Agra). . Amongst three proposed CSTP, 100 MLD STP at Dhandupura will be required felling of tree, which is identified in existing vacant land of STP. Around 704 trees are impacted which are falling under TTZ area. Since, this available land falls within TTZ regulated zone, therefore for establishment of 100 MLD STP at Dhandupura require prior approval from TTZ regulatory authority. . As an alternative option to avoid tree felling within TTZ regulated zone, YPCU has mulled over another private land just adjacent to existing STP area for purchase. The estimate for land cost and MOUs with farmers are under process. If delay happens in obtaining approval for felling of 704 trees in the TTZ area, private land purchase will be preferred. Therefore UP Negotiation (Mutual Consent) Policy, 2015 will be followed. . Project will not have any adverse impact on the tribal population, No tribal area has been reported in sub project region. . The limited impacts likely to be on environment are suggested to be mitigated by way of project specific Environmental Management Plan.

. The project will not have any adverse 1.2. impact on vulnerable and Scheduled Caste community for laying mains. Since all the DSTPs are proposed in the forest land, no diversion structure is required. Most of the project site is at a distance from the settlement. As per the consultations conducted, the participants expressed their relief and satisfaction that the open drains will be channelized and treated. 6.1.2. Implementation Arrangement 118. State Mission for Clean Ganga-Uttar Pradesh (SMCG-UP) is an extended arm of National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) for the state of Uttar Pradesh and implementing the Namami Gange and other programmes through various executing agencies. At state level it is implementing arm of State Ganga Committee constituted vide S.O. 3187 E dated 7th October, 2016 under Environment protection act 1986.Under SMCG, Yamuna Pollution Control Unit (YPCU) is functioning as the Executing Agency in Agra or some western part of UP under YAP region. The I&D Sewerage and STP Scheme at Agra will also be implemented under the same structure. 119. One Environmental Safeguard Official, one wild life expert & one Social safeguard official is placed at SMCG and functioning as a focal point for environment and social safeguards. The Contract for implementing the Sewerage and STP Scheme at Agra is based on Hybrid Annuity Model. 120. The proposed interventions involve numerous construction activities. Accordingly, the available Project Staffs of UP Jal Nigam/YPCU, Agra Division should be trained and assigned for monitoring as well as ensure compliance of environmental and social safeguard measures associated with the day to day construction activities of the proposed project. 6.1.3. Compliance to Regulatory Requirements 121. The project does not require any environmental clearance; however permission from Forest department is required under Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 for proposed 0.97 ha of forest land & another approval from Supreme Court will be required for tree felling of (704 no) under TTZ authority. As per Provision of Air and Water Act, the project requires obtaining CTE & CTO from SPCB. The approval required for project implementation by UP Jal Nigam is as follows: . Forest Approval for 0.97 ha of land under Forest (Conservation) Act 1980. . For establishment of 100 MLD STP near existing STP at Dhanupura two options are identified and under consideration a. Option1: Approval from Supreme Court will be required for tree felling of (704 no) at around 5 hectare land within premises of existing STP at Dhandupura under TTZ regulatory Zone. b. Option 2: Purchase of 5.5 hectare of private land from adjacent area of existing STP as per UP Negotiation (Mutual Consent) Policy, 2015. . Consent to Establish (CTE) & Consent to Operate (CTO) for the STP is mandatory to obtain under Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1972 & Air (Prevention and control of Pollution) 1981 of Government of India. . Permission for use of water for construction purpose from irrigation department/CGWA (for Surface or Ground Water).

To avoid dispute with local residents, preferably local worker should be hired for various stage of development/ construction of the project. 6.1.7. Grievance Redress Mechanism 128. Currently, NMCG has one GRM officer, who addresses all queries registered on the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CP GRAM) portal of NMCG. The GRM officer is supported by one social expert who helps to coordinate with all the state the SMCGs. 129. At SMCG level, reporting of grievances are being monitored by Environmental and Social experts. All Executing Agencies have a GRM mechanism at each project site. The project manager and deputy project managers are in-charge of these GRMs. To register grievances, a register has been kept at all project site offices and in some sites sometime field team received grievances over mobile phones as well as on whatsapp massages. The grievances should be resolved by conducting monthly review meetings and if site team is unable to resolve the issue on its own, the complaint/matter is brought up to Senior Management of EA. 130. ESDDR suggest establishing the similar grievance redressal mechanism in Agra site as well. Further, it is also recommended to constitute a GRC in the PIU to record and redress public grievances. A dedicated team under the supervision of the Project Manager could be appointed for recording the grievances. The name and contact information of Grievance Redressal Officers (GROs) should be displayed at the project/construction site, labour camps, in communities where construction work is taking place and in the websites of ULB, EA and SMCG. Also, a toll free number should be generated and displayed in work sites for registering grievances. A grievance reporting format is attached at Annexure 7.

6.1.8. Gender Assessment and Development1.2. 131. According to ESMF, the objective of Gender Assessment and Development is to analyse gender issues during the preparation stage of sub projects, design interventions and primary data collection. The gender analysis shall be carried out based on findings from gender specific queries and requirements during data collection and community consultation process. The quantitative and qualitative analysis shall include sex disaggregated data, issues related to gender disparity, needs, constraints, priorities and understanding of gender based inequitable risks, benefits and opportunities as well as gender relevant indicators. 6.1.9. Gender Based Violence (GBV) 132. GBV is an umbrella term for any harmful act that is perpetrated against a person’s will and that is based on socially ascribed gender differences. GBV includes acts that inflict physical, mental, sexual harm or suffering; threats of such acts; and coercion and other deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. The project site includes both the actual locations where civil works are conducted and also the associated areas such as the locations of workers’ camps, quarries, etc. These GBV risks need to be assessed throughout the project’s life by monitoring the situation, assessing the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures, and adapting them. 133. Since a sub project involves construction work that will demand a constant supply of labourers, the influx of migrant workforce can be a potential risk for the host population. The influx of labour force can lead to the risk of Gender-Based Violence. 134. ESDDR in ESMAP suggests key actions and responsibilities of project partners. The interventions will be at three levels, that of SPMG, EA and of the Contractor. According to guidelines of ESMAP on GBV prevention has been prepared clearly defining the roles and responsibilities at all levels. Robust measures shall be prepared and implemented to address the risk of gender based violence in the project and adjoining communities. 6.1.10. Integration of ESMAP with Project 135. To ensure the implementation of safeguard measures by the Concessionaire, the ESMAP including the suitable conditions for the preparation of project specific detailed ESAMP and necessary recommendation of ESDDR will be included in the bid document. The ESMAP clearly outlines the responsibility for various safeguard management actions associated with the project activities related to Construction stage Labour Management, Assessment of Gender Based Violence and Grievance Redress Mechanism as well as to ensure compliance of the same in accordance with the safeguard requirements of the ESMF. 6.1.11. Requirements for preparation of ESHS Management Strategies and Implementation Plans (a) The Concessionaire shall submit comprehensive and concise Environmental, Social, Health and Safety Management Strategies and Implementation Plans (ESHS-MSIP). These strategies and plans shall describe in detail the actions, materials, equipment, management processes etc. that will be implemented by the Concessionaire, and its subcontractors. In developing these strategies and plans, the Concessionaire shall have regard to the ESHS provisions of the

For construction of 100 MLD STP at Dhandupura, YPCU has to finalize the any one of two options as mentioned in Table 6-4 under 6.1.4 section. Thus this will either attract approval from Supreme Court for felling of (704 no) trees under TTZ or Private Land purchase of 5.5 hectare. . Tree felling approval from Supreme Court of India under TTZ is critical and time taking process. Although UPJN had assessed around 1525 trees available in vacant land of Dhandupura STP, of which felling of 704 nos. of tree has been identified as unavoidable. The remaining trees were considered for buffer around the area. In this approval payment of 10 times tree plantation in lieu of each tree cutting shall be required by implementation authority to forest department. . As per discussion with UPJN, it is perceived that, if TTZ approval is delayed or not allowed by Supreme Court or as an alternative option to avoid tree felling within TTZ regulated zone, YPCU has mulled over another private agriculture land located just adjacent to existing STP area for purchase. The estimate for land purchase and MOUs with farmers are under process. Therefore UP Negotiation (Mutual Consent) Policy, 2015 will be followed. . The Duration of associated impact shall be during construction phase. This can be mitigated through proper project specific Environmental Management Plan (ESMP) prepared and implemented by the concessionaire under the supervision of YPCU. 2.

142. YPCU has prepared detailed project report, on the basis of site specific information, visits, Stakeholder Consultation and reviewed design criteria available in the DPR. Further, the environmental and social screening has been carried out as per ESMF guideline. As per screening analysis of the project, I&D Sewerage System project at Agra is categorized as having ‘High impact’.

143. The project does not trigger EIA notification 2006. The Duration of associated impact shall be during construction phase. This can be mitigated through proper project specific Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared and implemented by the Concessionaire under the supervision of YPCU. 144. Based on the findings of due diligence exercise, the following recommendations are provided with an objective to ensure compliance with the ESMF:

A Design and Planning Aspects . Suitable conditions shall be incorporated in the Bid/Contract documents to prepare and implement ESAMP by the Concessionaire during the execution/operation stages. . A detailed project specific ESAMP requires to be prepared by the Concessionaire before execution of the project and shall obtain approval from the NMCG / World Bank. The detailed ESAMP shall include the information pertains to land/site layout, STP design, sludge management practices, Alternative analysis etc. . Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate under Water (prevention and Control of pollution) Act 1972 & Air (prevention and Control of pollution) Act 1981 shall be obtained for the establishment of Sewage Treatment Plant, prior to the construction work. . Consent conditions both general and specific shall be complied and compliance report shall be submitted periodically to the State Pollution Control Board. . NOC from Railway is required for laying rising main line in area of MPS Peelakhar of 440 m & DSTP line of Indira memorial drain. . NOC required from cantonment Board for rising main of Khairati Tola for 600 meter. . Forest Approval for 0.97 ha of land under FC ACT 1980 for 8 DSTPs of 9.85 MLD total. . NOC from Agra development Authority for establishment of two DSTPs i.e. 0.25 MLD Peeli Pokhar Drain & 1.5 MLD STP at Indira Memorial. Both the proposed lands are vacant & no tree felling is required. . For establishment of 100 MLD STP near to existing STP at Dhanupura two options are identified and under consideration a) Approval from Supreme Court will be required for tree felling (704 no) at around 5 hactare land falling within premises of existing STP at Dhandupura under TTZ authority. Tree felling approval from Supreme Court of India under TTZ is critical and time taking process. Although UPJN had assessed around 1525 trees available in vacant land of Dhandupura STP, of which felling of 704 nos. of tree has been identified as unavoidable. The remaining trees were

considered for buffer around the area.1.2. In this approval payment of 10 times tree plantation in lieu of each tree cutting shall be required by implementation authority to forest department. b) Purchase of 5.5 hectare of private land from adjacent area of existing STP. As per discussion with UPJN it is perceived that, if TTZ approval is delayed or not allowed by Supreme Court or as an alternative option to avoid tree felling within TTZ regulated zone, YPCU has mulled over another private agriculture land located just adjacent to existing STP area for purchase. The estimate for land cost and MOUs with farmers are under process. Therefore UP Negotiation (Mutual Consent) Policy, 2015 will be followed. . Three CSTPs (166MLD) are proposed in existing STP premises, where presently treated water are used for irrigation in pre monsoon season, but mostly treated water are getting conveyed in the River Yamuna. The existing water effluent channel provided for STP shall be upgraded to carry the discharge from proposed STPs. . The ESMAP once approved by the NMCG and World Bank should be integrated in the Bid/Contract documents, with necessary amendments (if necessary) or agreements with the Concessionaire, and should be fully complied during the execution/operation stages. . Periodic progress reporting (monthly, quarterly and yearly) requires to be done by the Concessionaire, and the frequency of submission to EA/SMCG should be mentioned in the EMP. . Independent Environment and Social/Compliance Monitoring Audit by the third party independent inspection agency shall be carried out annually, as per the ESMF requirements of Namami Gange program. . Provision of Bio energy generation should be included in DPR for Centralized STPS. In Agra Sewerage Project, provision of Bio digester should be proposed for all three CSTPs. . The STP site is near the bank of river Yamuna therefore appropriate measures should be taken to control/channelize the discharge of untreated effluent directly into the river Yamuna. . Tree plantation along with landscaping around the STP & MPS is advised in order to improve the aesthetic value and also to control bad odour. . Permission for tree felling should be obtained from the Forest Department. No construction should be started without prior approval from the forest department under FC act 1980. . Permission for use of water for construction purpose from irrigation department/CGWA (for Surface or Ground Water) should be obtained. . Labour license requires to be obtained by Concessionaire prior to construction. . Pollution under Control Certificate should be obtained for Construction Vehicles. . Earth materials should be procured from approved / licensed quarries. . Higher capacity DG sets should be complied with CPCB norms, adequate Stack Height and Acoustic Measure should be mandated. . Formal Intimation to line department to be given regarding excavation works in order to avoid or minimise the damages to existing utilities in the construction site. . The Sewerage lines are planned beneath the existing road, so an alternative traffic management plan, diversion plan or avoidance to congestion plan should be in place.

. Independent Environment and Social/Compliance1.2. Monitoring Audit by the third party independent inspection agency should be carried out annually, as per the ESMF requirements of Namami Gange program. . A Gender Action Plan to be prepared to address the risk of gender based violence in the project and adjoining communities. . Orientation and sensitization training needs to be provided for all project staff and contractors, in particular, safety supervisors and engineers on GBV at all levels. . ICC committees addressing GBV need to be constituted at EA, SPMG and NMCG level. . GBV needs to be integrated with GRM with special provisions, so, confidentiality/personal information can be controlled /maintained.

B Design and operational specific . Appropriate Sludge Management Plan shall be prepared by the Concessionaire. The dried sludge will be supplied to the farmers, which is reported in practice for the operational STPs. The farmers from the nearby area use the sludge cake as manure to increase fertility of soil. it is also used in the landscape within STP and in the parks nearby. As per the design of the STP, the generated sludge shall be digested first and only after digestion, it will be handed over to local farmers for agriculture purpose. The sequence of such handling over of sludge to the farmers shall be developed through a sludge management plan by the concessionaire. . The excess leftover sludge from the proposed 177 MLD STP after sourcing to farmers, parks maintained by horticulture departments and to locals will be sourced to Kuberpur engineered landfill site maintained Municipal Corporation of Agra. This engineered landfill site is about 5 km from Agra City, is currently handling waste generated from the municipal area of Agra City. It spread over an area of 75 Acres and had obtained Environmental Clearance from State Environmental Impact Assessment Committee, Uttar Pradesh. A MOU between UP Jal Nigam (implementing agency) & Municipal corporation Agra has been done for dumping of extra sludge and garbage from the STP sites to authorized Solid Waste Dump site of Agra (please refer annexure 15) . After having testing of Biological / chemical and heavy metal /toxic content of the sludge, priority to be made by concessionaire under supervision with YPCU for handing over sludge/ manure to nearby local farmer. Concessionaire should undertake sensitization program about importance of sludge and safe use of sludge in agricultural practices with local farmer under supervision of YPCU. (Refer Annexure 9- sludge disposal standard to be used as fertilizer). . EA (UP Jal Nigam) is advised to hire services of local NGOs/CBOs for information dissemination and public consultations for awareness about significant value of sludge in farm filed as soil moisture control, fertilizer etc. . With view of economic considerations related to distance and transport, addition of Faecal sludge should be taken into consideration at all nearby proposed STPS and MPS to maximize catchment, and provide suitable management.
