ii I. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT

A. Introduction

1. The National Capital Region Planning Board is a statutory body under the Ministry of Urban Development, constituted through an Act of Parliament in 1985. It has the mandate to prepare a Regional Plan for the development of the National Capital Region, coordinating and monitoring the implementation of such plan and evolving harmonized policies for control of land uses and development of infrastructure in the Region so as to avoid any haphazard development. Besides, the Board also provides financial assistance by way of loan to critical infrastructure projects being undertaken by constituent State Governments, ULBs and other parastatals of the State Governments, in the region. NCRPB Regional Plan-2021 envisages massive scaling up of urban infrastructure investment in NCR. However, due to weak capabilities of a number of borrowers i.e. ULBs, State Governments etc. adequate number of projects have not been prepared and there are systematic weaknesses in project execution.

2. The scaling up of urban infrastructure by implementing priorities of Regional Plan 2021 requires provision of longer tenure low cost debt, technical capacities for implementing agencies (borrowers of NCRPB) in urban planning, project development, project implementation, identification of bankable projects and enabling private sector investments, improving urban basic service provision, among others, through partnership with private sector. Besides, provision of adequate incentives needed to motivate cities and state entities to undertake public and environmental urban infrastructure projects that can mitigate greenhouse gas emission, and introduce private sector efficiencies. The National Capital Region Urban Infrastructure Financing Facility (NCRUIFF) is built around this rationale. NCRUIFF is being funded by the Asian Development Bank.

3. The impact of NCRUIFF is to improve overall quality of life and economic well-being of urban residents in India's NCR. The outcomes of NCRUIFF are improved economic growth support and public and environmental urban infrastructure services in the participating cities and/or sub regions of the NCR in accordance with the Regional Plan priorities. To this effect, NCRUIFF will support NCRPB in (i) leveraging its resources through a line of credit and other market access support services, and (ii) support a project development facility that would focus on design, implementation and delivery of quality growth oriented and public and environmental urban services and support capacity enhancements as well.

4. There are three broad outputs of this project: (i) NCRUIFF would support creation of high quality urban public and environmental infrastructure. This would include water supply, sanitation and waste management projects including possible regional initiatives. (ii) to foster economic growth and mobility, NCRUIFF will support creation of connectivity and/or up-gradation of transit infrastructure in the region. (iii) Implementation support for strengthening of NCRPB and participating implementation agencies' capacity to design and execute high quality urban infrastructure project, and other capacity development activities including enabling public-private partnerships.

5. The Facility is being provided to NCRPB in line with the provisions of the Multitranche Financing Facility (MFF) modality of the ADB. Besides physical infrastructure, facility also supports NCRPB's institutional transformation in line with the evolving infrastructure and financial sector reforms. The total estimated project cost is US$ 200 million, of which 75% of the financial assistance is provided by ADB (i.e. US$ 150 million) from its Ordinary Capital Resources (OCR) and the remaining is to be contributed by NCRPB and its sub borrowers.

6. The Facility supports subprojects that are located in and/or that assist the National Capital Region and the notified counter magnet areas. The sub-borrowers comprise local (sub-national) authorities/ governments, urban development authorities, statutory bodies set up by the state governments, the utility boards or corporations and special purpose vehicles sponsored by the above. The subprojects, among others, may include following subsectors:

(i) Water supply (ii) Waste water treatment and drainage (iii) Waste management (Municipal and Industrial) (iv) Urban transport, multimodal terminals and regional transport and connectivity (v) Slum development (vi) Other economic growth infrastructure like industrial estates, social infrastructure (vii) Capacity building and institutional development

7. NCRPB has submitted to ADB the first tranche PFR (Periodic Financing Request) for $78 million to finance infrastructure subprojects listed in the Table below. As the Facility is provided as an MFF modality through a financial institution and the proposed projects will be reviewed for environmental and social safeguard compliance before disbursement, the list of projects proposed in the PFR are purely indicative. Further, this will also provide flexibility to NCRPB in selecting compliant subprojects within the larger proposed list. It may be noted that the total cost of projects indicated in PFR 1 (Error! Reference source not found.) is much higher than the available funding. Therefore, once all the funds available in Tranche-1 are committed to certain subprojects, and enter into implementation, the remaining subprojects will be implemented through tranche-2 funds.

8. Currently some of the Tranche-1 subprojects have been completed and others are under implementation and bidding. This is the Environmental Monitoring Report on implementation of Environmental Management Plans (EMP) for the period July 2014 – December 2014, and is prepared in compliance with the ADB Policies. These reports are semiannual i.e., January to June and July to December. The Report is primarily prepared from the monthly and quarterly reports submitted to NCRPB by respective implementing agencies (borrowers of the NCRPB).

A. Implementation Arrangements

9. The Executing Agency (EA) for the Facility is the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB). Policy direction and strategic oversight for NCRPB's operation and the implementation of projects under the Facility will be provided by its Board. The oversight committee for the projects under the Facility will be the Project Sanctioning and Monitoring Group (PSMG), headed by the Secretary, Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. The PSMG will also be responsible for approval and sanction of subprojects.

10. Project Management Unit (PMU) of NCRPB will monitor the screening and selection of qualified subprojects, and monitoring their day-to-day implementation by sub borrower. The PMU will ensure that all qualified subprojects are in compliance with the ESMS, applicable national and state policies relating to environment, resettlement, and indigenous peoples, and ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009. Under the overall supervision of the Member Secretary, NCRPB, the project management responsibility will be with the Director (Administration and Finance). The PMU headed by the Director will manage, and coordinate all project activities. The PMU is strengthened with additional staff including specialists with expertise in risk management and project advisory work, safeguards. The PMU also have a dedicated financial/accounting officer to monitor project accounts and processing claims. The following Table shows the additional PMU staff and current status.

Sub-borrowers include, Haryana Public Works Department and Haryana State Road and Bridges Development Corporation, Haryana Public Health Engineering Department and others. The implementing agency will be supported by Design/Supervision and/or Project Management consultants for preparation, procurement, and construction supervision and management of the subprojects.

13. Implementing Agencies, as a current practice, are assisted by Project Management / Supervision Consultants (providing project management support, assure the quality of construction, and supervise the construction process) and by Design Consultants (design the infrastructure, and prepare bid documents).

14. Implementing Agency, with the assistance of Design Consultant, conducts environmental assessments and also obtains the necessary government clearances/approvals. IA (with the assistance of Design Consultants) is responsible for: incorporation of mitigation measures in design and construction. IA appoints a contractor to carry out the works as per the design. The Construction Contractor (CC) implements mitigation measures in construction.

15. Executing Agency: NCRPB is the Executing Agency. Project Management Unit (PMU) of NCRPB will review and approve Environmental Assessment Reports, with assistance of Project Management Consultants (PMC), oversee compliance with ESMS, loan covenants and subproject selection criteria.

B. NCRPB’s Environmental and Social Management System

16. In compliance with ADBs Safeguard Policies and other multilateral agencies like World Bank and KfW, an Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS) has been developed and adopted by NCRPB. The ESMS clarifies NCRPB's environmental and social policies; and safeguard screening, categorization, and review procedures. The ESMS document also sets out a plan to strengthen the environment and social organization structure and staffing; and sets our performance monitoring and reporting procedures.

17. Environmental Policy of NCRPB “NCRPB will continually strive to ensure and enhance effective environmental management practices in all its operations”

• Minimizing negative environmental (including health and safety) impacts in its operations and risks to the environment (particularly eco-sensitive areas and culturally important areas) and people who may be affected through formulating and implementing commensurate plans. • Ensuring that environmental safeguards—defined as requirements of applicable Indian environmental legislation and donors—are being adequately integrated by the project proponent/IA in the planning, design, construction prior to its financing and in its implementation during the operational phase. • Ensuring that compliance to all applicable national and local environmental legislation. • Encouraging that public and stakeholder consultation be carried out by the

project proponent/IA and disclosing the required information in all stages of the project cycle. • Integrating environmental risk into its overall internal risk management analysis. • Including environmental management considerations in all aspects of operations and interactions with the project proponent/IAs in all stages of the project cycle. • This policy statement emphasizes NCRPB's sensitivity, concern and commitment to environmental safeguards.

18. Roles and Responsibilities: For day-to-day operation and maintenance of the ESMS, an Environmental and Social Management Cell has been established within the NCRPB, and mandated with the following functions:

(i) Maintain and update the ESMS (ii) Ensure all subprojects financed by NCRPB are screened, categorized, and reviewed in accordance with the ESMS; (iii) During screening provide advice to the sub borrower to ensure that safeguard (environment, involuntary resettlement, and indigenous peoples) impacts are avoided or minimized; (iv) In accordance with the ESMS ensure that safeguard documents (environmental management plan, resettlement plan, and indigenous peoples plan) as required are prepared; (v) Set loan conditions for subprojects and ensure all safeguards requirements are fulfilled including but not limited to award of civil works contracts only after compensation where involuntary resettlement occurs; (vi) Monitor subprojects to ensure safeguards compliance in accordance with safeguards documents prepared for subprojects; (vii) Provide training and capacity-building to sub borrowers; (viii) Provide information to ADB and other donors in accordance with the ESMS; (ix) Provide assistance and required information to external ESMS auditors for the conduct of annual audits; and (x) Ensure monitoring

19. The following are the various activities involved in ESMS implementation in the project cycle and vis-à-vis roles of respective agencies:

20. Screening and Scoping: Implementing Agency (Project Proponent) submits the categorization form along with necessary project details to the NCRPB as per the ESMS procedures. NCRPB ESMC (Environment and Social Management Cell) reviews and classifies the project as E1 / E2 /E3 and provides guidance to the implementing agencies about the environmental and social safeguard requirements prior to and during NCRPB appraisal. Once the project report along with necessary IEE/EIA report is submitted, NCRPB will appraise the projects.

21. Preparation of IEE/EIA Reports. Based on the project category Implementing Agency (IA) conducts the IEE/EIA study and submits the IEE/EIA Report to the NCRPB. The study and report will be prepared as per the NCRPB ESMS complying with the public consultation and disclosure. IAs engage consultants (part of design consultancy or an exclusive EIA consultant) to conduct study and prepare the IEE/EIA reports. Due to lack of in-house capacity, project proponents/IAs normally appoints consultants to assist in preparing Detailed Project Reports. Some organizations, especially State Line Departments like Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), also undertake these works in-house without or limited assistance of consultants. The Design Consultants will also assist the project proponent/IA in preparing safeguard documents as required, and will also assist in obtaining the necessary clearances/approvals. These Design Consultants will be informed of

NCRPB’s safeguard requirements—described in this ESMS—so that they can take the necessary action during the design phase. 22. Review and Approval. As per the NCRPB procedures select Appraisal Agencies (termed as National Institutions) carry out appraisal of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) with respect to technical feasibility, cost reasonability, financial viability and good engineering design, status of mandatory clearances etc., and submit project appraisal report to NCRPB. Appraisal Agencies will also look into the environmental and social aspects of the project, depending on the requirement, to check whether it complies with the NCRPB’s ESMS.

23. Implementation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP). IAs appoints Construction Contractors to build the infrastructure elements. The construction contractors will have environmental and social safeguard requirements that they need to adhere as a part of their contract. The EMP will form a part of the contract documents and the contractors will have to ensure that the EMP requirements are adhered.

24. Monitoring of EMP Implementation. Respective jurisdictional engineers of IA supervise construction work on-site. The IAs with limited capacity compared to the works under implementation engage supervision and/or project management consultants to assist in supervising the construction process, provide project management support and assure the technical quality of construction. IAs, through its supervision/management consultants monitor the implementation of EMP by the contractor during the construction and submit monthly report to the NCRPB. The ESMC of the NCRPB will oversee the implementation, through reports review, periodic site visits etc.

C. Current Implementation Status
