The details of the findings are given below: a) Geographical features This section contains a detailed description on existing environment of the proposed project area including physical and biological environment in the study districts and more particularly in the area of study. The project area is located in Gujarat State covering two districts namely Rajkot and Kutchh.

Rajkot District: There are total 8 districts in Saurashtra region of Gujarat State. Among of them, Rajkot district constituted from the central region of Saurashtra. It is Located at 20.57 North Latitude to 23.07 East Latitude and between 70.20 East Longitude to 71.40 North Longitude. On the north of the Saurastra there is huge Rann of Kutchh, on the east side Bhavnagar & Surendranagar districts located, on the south of the Saurastra Junagadh & Amreli districts located and on the west of the region Jamnagar district is situated. River Machhu is one of the major river in the Rajkot District.

Kachchh District: Kachchh is an Ancient land with an Important Historical age. The name Kachchh was derived from its Geographical Characteristics and particularly resemblance of its earth surface with tortoise. Ancient literature mentioned this name Mallinath, in his treatise of Sanjivani defined Kachchh as during ancient time marsh land or fallow land. The foreign travelers who visited the region had mentioned in various records about the name Kachchh. It was also mentioned in rock inscriptions, copper plate inscriptions, ancient writings and manuscripts The physiography of the district is Marshy to saline desert of Rann of Kachchh and Little Rann of Kachchh extends into the saline tracts around the Gulf of Kachchh. This vast expanse of salts mixed with clay is devoid of any vegetation or habitation. The general elevation of this tract varies between 1 to 4 m above MSL.

There are numerous small rivers in the Kutch region. Those flowing north disappear in the Rann. While the remaining Join either the sea or the Gulf of Kutch. Some of the main rivers are Khari, Kaila, Niruna, Nara, Matiiweriwali, Rukmavati, Kankavati, Bhukhi, etc. There are dams across Khari, Kaila, Niruna etc. and the other rivers are also prepared to be harnessed by having storage schemes to tide over scarcity conditions affecting this region quite frequently. b) Geology & Soil Characteristics Geology: The Gujarat State exposes rock belonging to the Precambrian, Mesozoic, Cenozoic, Eras. Stratigraphically, the record is incomplete as the rocks of Paleozoic era are totally absent in Gujarat. The hard rock covers about 49% of total area of Gujarat. The rest being occupied by sediments of Quaternary period. The hard rocks comprise Precambriam Metamorphites and associated Intrusives, sedimentary rocks of Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras and the trap I flows constituting Deccan Volcanics of Cretaceous, Eocene age. Soil: A major texture of the soil in the study region is 'Loamy'. However, in South-West part (in Ahmedabad and Surendranagar district) a soil texture in few area is found to be 'Clayey'. It is also 'Sandy' soil in some area of the Northern part (Banaskantha district) of the region.

The Costal area of the Saurashtra and Kachchh region are saline. Some parts of Kachchh near Rann are strong to very sever saline. North-Western part of Kachchh and costal part of Bhavnagar district are moderately strong saline. Some part of Rajkot district near little Rann of Kachchh, some coastal part of Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Amreli and Bhavnagar are slightly saline. c) Hydro-geology The diverse terrain conditions have given rise to different ground water situations in the study districts. The rock formations ranging in age from Archaean to recent include gneisses, schists, phyllites, intrusive, medium to coarse grained sandstones, basalts and recent alluvium. The high relief area in the eastern and north eastern part occupied by Archaean and Deccan Trap have steep gradient allowing high run-off and therefore have little groundwater potential. The yield of wells in these formations range from 5-10m3/hr. The yield in sandstones varies from 50 to 170 m3/hr. The yield of wells tapping Quaternary alluvium in Cambay basin ranges between 75-150m3/hr.

In Rajkot district, the shallow phreatic aquifer is a regionally extensive and extends down to 30 to 50 m depth with an average 42m BGL. It is also observed that seasonal fluctuation of water table, between pre-post monsoon periods, ranges from 0.50 to 4.0m in phreatic aquifer. In Kachchh district, the shallow phreatic aquifer is a regionally extensive and extends down to 75 to 125 m depth with an average 90m BGL. It is also observed that seasonal fluctuation of water table, between pre-post monsoon periods, ranges from -0.50 to 3.0m in phreatic aquifer. d) River basins, Flood and Cyclones The study districts area is drained by ephemeral rivers Sabarmati, Machhu, Khari, Kaila, Niruna, Nara, Matiiweriwali, Rukmavati, Kankavati, Bhukhi, etc. and their tributaries. River Machchu Basin: The total length of this North flowing river from its origin to its outfall into the little Rann of Katchch is 141.75 km. Machhu receives several tributaries on both the banks. There are 6 major tributaries having length more than 25 km out of which 4 tributaries namely Jamburi, Benia, Machhori and Maha feed from the right and the remaining 2 tributaries namely Beti and Asoi from the left. The drainage system on the right bank of Machhu is more extensive as compared to the left bank. The Beti, Asoi, Machhori and Maha, the 4 important tributaries together account for nearly 42.52% of the total catchment area of Machhu. Maha, the principal tributary, rises from Rampura in Chotila taluk of Surendranagar district and drains in North Western direction flowing through Surendranagar and Rajkot districts to join main stream Machhu about 1.6. km downstream of Panchaisa village. Machhori another important tributary also rises from Chotila taluka and drains towards North direction and meets the main stream about 8.5 km downstream of Wankaner in Rajkot district. Asoi tributory rises from the hilly region of village Vanjhara of Wankaner taluka and drains towards North direction and meets the main stream just upstream of village Derali.

Generally floods and cyclones are not occurred in the semi arid region of the study area and the same has been confirmed from the meteorological data collected from the study region. e) Forests, Biosphere and Sanctuary Forest Stretch: It is learnt from the site visit and subsequent discussions had with the concerned Forests officials that the entire project stretch passes through the Protected Social Forestry and apparently requires forest clearance as per the Forests (Conservation) Act, 1980 and subsequent amendments thereof. The photographs showing the protected social forest stretch in the RoW are given in Figure -1. Figure -1 : Photographs Showing the Protected Social Forestry along the RoW

Little Rann of Kachchh: Little Rann of Kachchh (LRK) is a unique place on earth with an unending possibility of exploration, numerous sites for unbelievable sights and unforgettable experiences. The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has designated Little Rann of Kachchh as the potential Biosphere Reserve on 28th January, 2008. Little Rann of Kachchh landscape is situated between 22O55’ N to 24O35”N latitude and 70O30’ to 71O45’E longitude and tentatively extended over 6000 Km2 area. The Landscape broadly encompasses area from 10 talukas of Kachchh, Surendranagar, Rajkot, Patan and Banas kantha districts. Due to harsh environmental conditions, the LRK is free from human habitation. However, 108 villages of 10 talukas and 5 districts surrounded it. The landscape is the last home for the only surviving population of highly endangered Asiatic Wild Ass (Equus hemionus khur). The landscape covers about 4953 sq km of Wild Ass Sanctuary (WAS). Four territorial forest divisions and one wildlife sub-division is managing the area under forest department and WAS. The LRK landscape passes through the Tropic of Cancer. The area is also prone to disasters like droughts, cyclones and earthquakes. The 2001 earthquake severely damaged many villages of the landscape, especially of Surendranagar and Kachchh districts. The photographs showing the LRK and WAS in the RoW and interior part of the LRK in Figure -2 & 3.

Wild Asses Sanctuary:

Wild Asses Sanctuary (WAS) is in the centre of Little Rann of Kachchh (LRK) Landscape. The sanctuary was notified first in 1973 and included 4840.90 Km2 area of LRK. An area of 112.81 Km2 along the Greater Rann of Kachchh was further added through a second notification in 1978. These two notifications include mainly three types of areas: (i)the LRK (ii) the forest lands, and (iii) government wastelands of 108 surrounding villages of five districts. In total, the WAS extends in 4953.71 Km2 area. The wild ass falls in the family of ‘equide’ which includes Horses, Zebras and donkeys. Indian Wild Ass is one of the sturdiest animals in the world withstanding scorching mid-day temperature up to 48° C or more without any shelter in the midst of the desert facing long periods of drought surviving, where as other animals cannot survive. It has the strength and speed of a horse and can run at the speed of 60- 70 k.m./hr. The stature measures 120cm. in height, 210cms.in length and weighing about 240kgs. It possesses a shiny and a black brown hairy strip in the centre enhancing its beauty. They move either single or in herds of 10-30 in search of fodder and sweet water. They resign only in hot afternoon hours. They eat what they get, generally scrubby grass, suaeda nude flora and pods of prosopice. The breeding season is August to October and after a gestation period of 11months only young one is delivered which joins the herd in a very short time. The bray of a wild ass is shriller than that of a domestic donkey. The life span is 20 to 25 years. The photographs showing the Wild Ass in the Sanctuary are given in Figure -4.

Salt Farming: Koli and Bhil community traditionally collected salt as a salt precipitate from saline oils of Kachchh after evaporation of ground water. Over a period of time, the process of collection of salt evolved into farming of salt through solar evaporation of seawater marine salt or sub terrain brine (Inland salt). Since 1953, India has become self sufficient in salt and ranks third in terms of annual salt production after USA and China. In recent years, the salt production has ranged from 14 to 17 million tonnes. Good availability of brine water along with plenty of sunshine and dry windy conditions are ideal settings for salt production in the state of Gujarat. The State produces between 10 to 13 million tones of salt and thus contributes around 70% of the total salt production of the country. Within Gujarat, while substantially large production of salt comes from unrecognized sector, more than 80% salts are produced from recognized sectors. It is estimated that 54,000 salt workers (commonly known as gariyas) are engaged in the salt making in the state. There are two major natural sources of salts- marine and inland (mainly the LRK). Importantly, while the marine salt work is directly relied on sea water, the inland salt works depends upon the exacting of exhaustible underground brine in LRK. Due to increase in industrial demands and engagement, more than 50% of the total salt demand is generated by the Soda ash and Caustic soda manufacturing units, which are intermediate products for soap, detergents and glass industry. The photographs showing the salt farming along the Right of Way of the NH-8A are given in Figure -5.

Figure -5: Salt Farming along the RoW (NH-8A) f) Socio-economic status As per the Census 2011, the Gujarat state has a Population of 60,383,628. Gujarat is the 10th largest state in terms of Population in India. Gujarat is one of the most industrialized states of India and thus attracts people from India both in terms of investment and jobs. The population increased from 50,671,017 in 2001 to 60,383,628 in 2011 representing a growth of 19.17% in one decade. Out of this figures, total male population stands at 31,482,282 and female at 28,901,346. In terms of Population, Ahmedabad is the largest city of Gujarat with 6.2 million people living here. Surat and Vadodara are other two major cities with population of 4.46 million and 1.67 million respectively. Rajkot is the fourth largest city of Gujarat with population of 1.50 million. Bhavnagar, Bhuj, Junagadh and Jamnagar are the other major cities in Gujarat. Literacy Rate: The state of Gujarat has also shown an increase in its literacy rate by 10 percent in this decade. Currently it stands at 79.31 percent as compared to last census (2001) figures of 69.14 percent. Better education facilities by the state government have played a vital role in improving overall literacy rate of Gujarat. According to latest Census of 2011, Male Literacy rate in Gujarat stands at 87.23 percent while female literacy rate is 70.73 percent. Sex Ratio of Gujarat: Sex Ratio of Gujarat which is currently recorded as 918 females per 1000 males is lower than the national figures 940. Gujarat Sex Ratio has not shown any improvement from last census figures of 921 per 1000 females in 2001. According to latest census of 2011, there are 918 females available in Gujarat for every 1000 males. Religions: People following Hinduism constitute 89.1% of the population. The other religions include Muslims 9.1%, Jain and Sikhs 0.1% of Population. Gujarati is the official language of Gujarat while Hindi and English are also widely spoken. Kutchi, Bhili and Gamit are also spoken in the areas like Kutch region of Gujarat. Population Growth: Gujarat has witnessed a descent growth in its population in the last 60 years. From a small figure of 16 Lakh in 1950, it has gone passed 6.03 Crore in 2011. Rapid Industrialization and development of the Gujarat state has attracted people from all over India. Thus Population of Gujarat has increased considerably in the last 6 decades beginning from 1950. g) Industries There are many small, medium and large scale industries present in Surendrangar and Rajkot districts in the study area. The majority of the industries are located along NH-8A and NH-8B. Industries in study districts generating employment are automobile, marbles, ceramics, pharmaceutical, steel, rubber, plastics, minerals, metal, electrical, cotton, wooden, food & beverages etc. The forests in the region help the nation to earn foreign currency by exporting quality of wood. The other by-products of the forest are honey, tamarind and many ayurvedic plants, which earn revenues for the State. Study area is a major market center for ceramics and marbles. The photographs showing the industries located along the Right of Way of NH-8A are given in Figure -6. Figure -6: Industries Located Along the project road h) Transportation The study districts are having a good transport system in the State of Gujarat. These are connected to all the major cities across the country through various major and local highways, railways and air. There is a couple of major highways, State Highways and MDRs, Panchayat roads etc. Common modes of road transport within the cities /towns are city buses, cars and auto-rickshaws. i) Infrastructure The study region has well-developed and extensive infrastructural facilities in place. The power supply position is good and almost all the villages in study districts are electrified. The districts head quarter such as Rajkot and Bhuj have facilities like housing, hospital, drinking water facility, school and technical education, universities, medical college, etc. Emergency medical care and fire fighting facilities are also available at all Tehsils head quarters along the proposed project corridor. j) Seismic Details of the Area As per the seismic hazard map of India updated in 2000 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), the study district such as Rajkot & Suredernagar lies in Zone -IV and the Kachchh district lies in Zone -V. As classified in BIS map, Zone -V indicates the most seismically active region, while zone -II is the least seismically active region. However, the project influence area falls in ‘Moderate to high hazard’ region only. History of Earthquake: On January 26, 2001, while India celebrated its Republic Day, an earthquake of shattering intensity – 7.9 on the Richter scale – occurred at 20km northeast of Bhuj in the dry and arid district of Kutch in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The earthquake left 20,005 dead, 166,812 injured, 600,000 homeless and 212.6 billion Indian rupees in damage. The earthquake damaged the entire Kachchh district, partially damaged Suredranagar and Rajkot districts and limited impact on Ahmedabad district. k) Archeological Sites/Places of Tourist Interest No archeological sites were present within the Right of Way (ROW) of project highway. The archeological and places of tourist interest present within the study area are: Adalaj Step-well, Bhadra Fort, Sabarmati Ashramam, Sidi Sayad mosque, jumma mosque, Karba Gandhi No Delo / Mahatma Gandhi House, Watson Museum and Library, Lalpari Lake & Randarda Lake, Chamunda Mata Temple, Chotila, Naraya sarovar, Koteshwar temple, Wild ass sanctuary, LRK etc. l) Sources of Irrigation and Cropping Pattern The major sources of irrigation are wells and tube-wells in the study area. Besides this, very limited area is irrigated through small rivers & ponds. During Kharif, the groundnut crop is produced in irrigated areas. Maize also requires irrigation. Generally other crops are sown at the commencement of the rainy season. Bajra, Groundnut, Maize and Cotton are sown by broadcasting the seeds. Fertiliser is applied before sowing of groundnut and cotton. During Rabi, the mustard and gram is sown from September to October, in unirrigated land, while in the irrigated land, barley, gram and mustard are sown in October-November and wheat in November- December. The study area has little double cropped area with the crop cycle as moong-wheat, groundnut-wheat, moong-mustard, bajra-mustard, bajra-gram etc. The principal crop in the study area in Kharif is Bajra and the most important food grain crop in Rabi is wheat.

2.2 Meteorology of the Region Regional Meteorological and climatological data was compiled for IMD, Ahmedabad, which is be the nearest meteorological station located within the project study district. The meteorological data has been collected for a period of 30 years for Ahmedabad (1971 to 2000). 8.8.2.1 Climatic Conditions The study districts are falling under semi arid region of Gujarat State. The area has a distant place from Arabian Sea as well as Bay of Bengal gives rise of continental climate. During monsoon period from July to September and occasionally during rest period of the year in the wake of western disturbances humidity, cloudiness and rainfall activities increase. The year is broadly divided into four seasons namely: - the winter season starts from mid December to mid February, - summer or hot weather season from March to May, - monsoon season spread from end of June to mid September, and - October and November are known as transit period or post monsoon period. i) Temperature The mean minimum temperature of the area is ranging from 7.5ºC – 32.1ºC during winter season and mean maximum temperature is ranging from 23.3ºC – 44.4ºC in summer season. ii) Relative Humidity The mean humidity varies from minimum at 21.0% to maximum at 87.0% and the humidity figure shows that area belongs to hot semi-arid region. iii) Wind Speed The mean Wind speed normally is in the range of 4.8 to 11.8 Km/hr. The wind speed range is high during June to September due to entry of SW monsoons. iv) Wind Direction The predominant wind direction prevails from SW, W and NW. Following are the season wise predominant wind directions; during winter – Northwesterly, summer – Northwesterly, monsoon – westerly, northwesterly & southwesterly and in post monsoon season – Northwesterly. v) Rainfall The rainfall in this region, in general receives from the south-west towards the north-east. The maximum annual rainfall is received during the south-west monsoon which is about 95.00% and an amount of rainfall is received from non monsoon season (5.00%). The cold weather commences towards the end of November when the temperature begins to fall rapidly. The number of rainy days in the year is 33.3 and the average annual rainfall is 740.6mm.

(b) Places of Tourist, Historic, Archaeological and Religious Interests: Places of tourist interest, historical, archaeological places and places of religious interests (if any) identified along the project road- in the immediate vicinity and also within study area (15km on either side of the project road).

(c) Common Resources: An inventory of common community resources such as educational institutions, health centres, recreation centres, Courts, libraries, community centres, Public toilets, religious and cultural features etc. situated along the project corridor are prepared.

4.4 Analysis of Alternatives to the Project Road In-depth study of related maps, topographic sheets, physical inspection and environmental and social screening was carried out in order to find out the technically and environmentally sound, most feasible and environmental friendly alignment. Alternatives are considered for the analysis of “without” and “with” project situations and components. The selected Alternatives were compared in terms of their potential social & environmental impacts, capital & recurrent costs, suitability under local conditions, institutional training and monitoring requirements. For each alternative, the environmental costs and benefits will be quantified to the extent possible and the basis for the selected alternative was stated. Analysis of alternative includes alignment selection, finalization of bypasses, road widening to reduce the cutting of tree and minimizing the demolition of structures, grade separators, services roads, vehicular, pedestrian and cattle underpass, quarry materials, road safety, etc. 4.5 Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures The environmental impact assessment was conducted in accordance with the requirement of the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) norms and guidelines. The collected primary and secondary data was compiled and analyzed to establish a comprehensive database and assess the existing baseline environmental condition. After establishing the baseline status of the study corridor and analysis of the project proposals and activities, the potential impacts on environmental components would be identified for pre-construction, construction and operational stages of the project. On the basis of the existing baseline environmental condition within the project area and the nature and extent of activities envisaged in construction/operation phase, the impacts would be identified and assessed for “Without and With Project Scenario” during construction and operation phases of the project. Wherever practicable, a quantitative analysis was performed for the impacts by using appropriate modeling method. All potential direct and indirect influence due to the proposed project was also addressed. The scope of work not confined only to alignment but the impacts due to the associated construction activities assessed. The following aspects are given due importance during assessment of impacts and recommending remedial measures: • Alignment of the project road and topographical changes • Roadside drainage to avoid water logging, erosion & environmental degradation • Impact on soil along the project road. • Impact of solid waste generated and solid waste management plan • Impact on borrow area and quarries • Impact of road safety • Impact on ambient air quality due to air pollution during construction activities and vehicle movement. • Prediction of ambient air quality due to projected vehicular traffic on the project road was carried out using computer based California Line Source Emission (CALINE - 4) software. • Impact on noise level during construction activities and vehicle movement. Prediction of noise levels was carried out using computer based Prediction of Noise level during Operation phase in future years to be determined using Federal Highways Noise Administration (FHWA) Model. • Assessment of impacts of road construction on ground and surface water sources in the study area • Impact of solid waste generated during construction phase of the project. • Nature, quantity and disposal of construction spoils, wastes and waste water. • Impacts of flora and fauna and ecological resources due to construction and operation of the project • Public health & sanitation, and occupational health & safety of construction workers. • Impact on safety of local people during construction and operation phases. • Road safety features to avoid accidents need of underpass, service road, etc. • Population affected and socio-economic impacts.

4.6 Public Consultation and Information Disclosure Public consultations are already carried out in the affected areas along the project road. The issues discussed during consultation are also incorporated in the design framework and environmental management and mitigation plan. A public Hearing is yet to be conducted.

4.7 Environmental Monitoring Programme Environmental monitoring plan for construction and post construction phases of the project road was formulated to ensure effectiveness of implemented environmental mitigation measures. Cost of Environmental Monitoring Plan for construction and post construction phase of the project was worked out. 4.8 Environment Management Plan After detail analysis of all the environmental impacts and issues, a proper and adequate Environmental management plan was prepared with the aim to avoid, mitigate or eliminate the adverse impacts due to the project.

1. Wankaner Bypass:

Existing Road: The road passes through Wankaner village from Km. 205.800 to Km. 208.600. Wankener is located in Rajkot district. Either side of the Right of Way thickly covered with the habitations and the industrial area. The predominant industries located in the area are ceramics, marble, cement etc. Lot of traffic congestion is observed due to presence of industries on either side of the town. The town is developed on both sides with a higher concentration on the LHS. The upgradation of the existing road may require huge Resettlement & Rehabilitation issues and social acceptance of the people will also be a difficult task. It is anticipated that the proposal may also invite unnecessary court cases.

Alternative 1: This alignment takes off at Km. 204.100 and traverses on the right hand side of the existing alignment and joins at Km. 212.000. This alignment traverses partly through cultivated fields and partly through barren lands and has good geometrics. The total length would be around 7.9 Km. No major environmental issues are involved in the alternative except, cutting of the bushes in the area. It is envisaged that the R&R issues are very minimal in the alignment.

Alternative 2: The alignment takes off at Km. 203.800 and is to be taken on left hand side of the existing alignment and joins the existing alignment at Km. 212.200. The length of bypass will be about 8.4 Km. Since, concentration of industries is predominantly on the left side of the highway, the length of the this alternative is more compared to the alternative 1. Due to the presence of tributary of River Manchhu on the LHS of the existing road, CD works in alternative -2 are also more compared to the alternative -1. This alternative will also require crossing of existing railway line twice and requires two ROBs.

2. Morbi Bypass: Existing Road: The road passes through Morbi town from Km. 235.300 to Km. 238.800. Morbi is situated in the Rajkot district. Industries are scattered all along the corridor from Km 225.000 to Km 243.000. There are more than 600 small, medium and large scale industries present in the town. The predominant industries present in the area are ceramics, marble, sanitary ware and Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) etc. The presence of industries on either side of the RoW and thickly populated areas with industrial establishments causing the frequent traffic congestion in the town. Upgradation of the existing road may require to go for huge Resettlement & Rehabilitation (R&R) issues and the social acceptance of the proposal is poor. It is anticipated that the proposal may also invite unnecessary court cases.

Alternative 1: This alignment alternative takes off at Km. 227.800 and traverses on the right hand side of the existing alignment and joins the existing at Km. 243.800. It traverse mostly through cultivated and barren fields and has good geometrics. The total length would be around 19.6 Km. No major environmental issues are involved in the alternative except, cutting of trees and bushes in the area. It is envisaged that the R&R issues are very minimal in the alignment.

Alternative 2: The proposed alignment takes off at Km. 214.300 and after traversing on the LHS of the existing alignment joins the existing at Km. 247.800. The length of bypass will be about 33.5 Km since it has to be taken to the left of Manchhu reservoir. There are considerable number of trees and bushes to be removed in this alternative when compared with Alternative -1.
