A INTRODUCTION

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

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

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

4 | P a g e

ascertain presence of any residual environmental impacts since the sub-projects were implemented without undertaking environmental assessments and suggest specific remedial measures, if any to address such residual impacts. B. APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES AND OTHER LEGISLATIONS

10. As per the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, GoI, vide its Notification No.S.O. 1533 dated 14-09- 2006 and its subsequent amendment, the environmental clearance is not applicable under the sub-project. Aside from SPS 2009, the project needs to comply with the requirements provided by the GoI acts, rules, notifications, standards, and policies and other state level guidelines that apply to the project. The relevant regulations and other legislations are given in chapter 2 of ADB approved IEE report, January 2013 are applicable for this subproject. C. SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION 11. The project activities involve widening of existing roads to 2 – lane carriageway, within available ROW. The Balod -Dhamtari Road is 30.67 Km long, where widening and up-gradation have been proposed. The road widening activities primarily will comprise of raising the embankment at certain locations and its stabilisation including construction of retaining wall if required especially near wate r bodies, overlay on the existing carriageway, junction improvement, and construction of minor bridges, culvert and RCC drain in built-up section. 12. The project road starts on SH-7 at Km 53.900 and ends on NH – 43 at Km 85.300. The total length of the project road is 31.67 km. It starts from Balod and passes through Purur, Kamharkham, Kaneri, Kulia, Bohardi, Gurur, Tari, Barda, Kannewada, Sakre, Jamruva, Jagtara and Jamala terminates on NH- 43. The project road at two different sections such as from (i) Km 17+080 to Km 17+640 at Gurur; and (ii) Km 38+000 to Km 38+991 at Jhalmala will be four lane within available RoW. There is very little congestion along the junctions. Improvement of this road section will connect the interior rural areas with the National Highway 43 and thereby bring people nearer to district headquarters at Balod and Dhamtari districts. 13. During the implementation stage the widening of road was undertaken for 4 lane carriageways instead of 2-lane (as provided in ADB approved IEE report) at two chainages. The 4-lane carriageway included 14.0 m wide road (with 7 m width of each lane), 0.400meter median and 1.3 m of drainage on both sides. The hard shoulder varies from 1.6 m to 2.5 m depending on the available RoW and the works have been completed within the existing RoW. 14. This addendum to ADB approved IEE report is being prepared due to widening of road to four lanes instead of two lane (provided in scope of work as per approved IEE) at two stretches of “Balod - Dhamtari (MDR)” Road. The details are given in table 4: Table 4 - Change of scope from two to four lane in Package-13 Location Name Chainage (KM) Length (Km) S.No

D. APPROACH FOR ADDENDUM PREPRATION

17. The Addendum to ADB-approved IEE report (January 2013) has been prepared based on field visits, carrying out discussion with field staffs and the officials of executing agency (EA) conducted during project implementation stage. The information gathered during site visit has been used to update the Rapid Environmental Assessment (REA) Checklist (Annexure I), which assisted in screening, categorization of sub-project and anticipating potential impacts on environment due to construction of sub-project.

E. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

18. The sub-project is located in district Balod and Dhamtari. The descriptions of environment for this district have been captured in Chapter 3.0 (Description of Environment) of ADB approved IEE report prepared in January 2013, which adequately capture the environmental setting in the district and may be referred. The testing of environmental parameters such as ambient air quality, ambient noise levels and water quality have been conducted package wise under the project covered in different environmental monitoring reports. The environmental features along the sections from Km 17.080 to Km 17.640 and from Km 38.000 to Km 38.991 has been collected from site and given in the table 5. Table 5 - Environmental Features Along the Sections S. No Environmental Features Status Remarks, if any 1 Forest section Not involved No impact anticipated 2 Number of trees available No tree is present at location where No impact anticipated the scope of work is changed.

F. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

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

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

21. The roads under package-13 “Balod-Dhamtari (MDR)” not pass through any forest land. However, to up-grades the roads tree cutting is inevitable. During implementation stage, a total of 456 trees of which total 465 trees may need to be cut in actual within ROW in this Package. The number of trees impacted for upgradation to 4 lane remains same as for 2 lane, as there are no additional tree s cutting involved due to change in scope of work. The details of trees required to be cut under package 13 is provided in table 6 and permission obtained from competent authority for package 13 is provided in Annexure VI .

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