EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects to strengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport in Greater Mumbai and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improving public transport including the railway capacity.

Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for some of these sub-projects in the years 1996 to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared for the entire MUTP project. Environmental Management Plans (EMP) was prepared as a part of these EAs, which included mitigation measures for minimising adverse environmental impacts. Currently, several of these sub- projects are in different stages of construction and MMRDA desires to carry out an assessment of the relevant EMPs.

This assignment pertains to the EMP assessment/audit for the project involving conversion of the current 1500 V DC traction system to 25000 V AC system. This system is being implemented at various routes of both Westem Railway (WR) and Central Railway (CR).

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services of Serene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projects of MUTP.

2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The Objectives of Environmental Audit are as follows: * Assess whether any activity of the project will have impacts on the environment such as construction of sub-stations within coastal regulation zone. * Assess impacts of disposal of old DC transformers. * Suggest environmental management plan, if required, for mitigating environmental impact.

3.0 PROJECT COMPONENTS

The conversion is being done on various sections of both WR and CR. The broad components of the project are as follows:

1. Modification to the existing overhead equipment (OHE) to suit the insulation level of 25 kV. 2. Modification to the existing over line structures such as foot over bridges (FOB's), road over bridges (ROB's). Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

3. Power supply arrangement for 25 kV system 4. Modification to the existing low tension supplies 5. Modification to the telecommunication installation 6. Modification of the signaling installation with Audio frequency 7. Modification to Electrical Multiple Units (EMU's) 8. Modifications to Electrical Locomotives 9 Miscellaneous. Civil Works. These include the following: * Rebuilding/raising FOBs which are not having sufficient clearances to accommodate AC traction . Freezing the rail level under ROBs having critical clearances for AC traction by building ballast less track under them . Construction of electrical and service buildings such as substations, relay rooms, cable huts etc. . Construction of quarters, office accommodations, office rest houses and senior subordinates rest houses as per requirements.

At present 20 nos. of DC substations on Westem Railway and 49 nos. of DC substations on Central Railway are feeding DC power supply for running the trains in Mumbai Suburban Network. With switch over to 25 kV AC system, only 5 nos. of AC substations on Western Railway and 13 nos. of AC substations on Central Railway will suffice.

The new substations will be provided at Mahalakshmi, Bandra, Jogeshwari, Borivali and Vasai Road on Westem Railway and at Chinchpokali, Vidyavihar, Thane, Thakurdi, Vangani, Karjat, Titwala, Asangaon, Kasara, Raoli, Mankhurd, Sea wood and Panvel on Central Railway.

lmplementation Status- Central RailwaY On the Central Railway (CR) route, the conversion will be done in 4 phases:

Phase 1: Vasai - Panvel - Jasai (Non-suburban route) Titwala - Igatpur stations Phase 2: Tilak-nagar - Panvel; Thane - Turbhe stations Phase 3: Thane - Kalyan stations Phase 4: Thane to CSTM stations

Phase 1 and 2 are in progress. Phase 3 will commence after completion of Phase 1 and 2 Conversion in the suburban Phase 4 is expected to commence only after the year 2005.

Implementation Status- Western Railwav On the Western Railway (WR) route, the conversion will be done in 3 phases: Phase 1: Borivali to Virar stations Phase 2: Andheri to Borivali stations Phase 3: Churchgate to Andheri stations

. Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

The OHE component in Phase 1 is about 90% complete. The expected date of completion for Phase 1 is December 2002.

Phase 2 and Phase 3 implementation will begin after completion of Phase 1. The expected dates of completion for Phase 1 and 2 are December 2004 and December 2006 respectively.

3.1 Applicable Legal Requirements

The applicable Indian environmental regulations, Wodd Bank policies/directives and GOM directives for all MUTP projects are given in detail in the Final Consolidated Environment Assessment (EA) Report on MUTP, 2002 prepared by MMRDA. This EMP's for the DC to AC conversion project have been prepared within the Policy and Legal Framework outlined in the Consolidated EA (CEA), Report for MUTP, 2002. The legal requirements applicable to the DC to AC conversion project are as follows:

Indian Environmental and Other Regulations O Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, associated Rules and Notifications under the Act. O The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975 O Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act) O Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 (MR&TP Act): O Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai 1991 (DCRs)

World Bank Policies O Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01)

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Air Quality and Noise: Of all works in DC-AC project, only construction of AC sub-stations and laying of cables (from MSEB to substations) has a potential'of causing minor negative impacts.

These impacts are typical to any minor civil construction. The magnitude of construction is small and the associated impacts are not considered significant. Prior permissions for cable laying will be taken from MCGM/Concerned Municipal Office.

Environmental impacts from waste disposal Scrap DC electrical components such as insulators, cables, transformers etc. will be the main wastes from this project. Good working components will be reused for maintenance of routes with existing DC components. Generally the waste material generated will be the ones, which cannot be serviced. These are sent to railway stores for auction. The amount of waste

ill Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

generated in the project till date in WR and CR (mainly for sections where work is in progress) and the current handling and disposal modes are given below in Table 2. Photo 4 shows the scrap yard at Bhayandar. Discarded insulators and other material are stored here before disposal by sale.

One of the critical environmental issues in DC-AC project is disposal of scrap transformners and switch gears that have oils. These oils could have Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) which is used as dielectric and heat exchange fluid. PCBs and their impurities are known to represent a threat to human health and the environment. Thus managing PCB containing wastes is necessary.

As per a World Bank study, most transformers manufactured after 1985 do not have PCBs. The number of DC transformers likely to be replaced in WR and CR as a part of DC-AC conversion are given in Table 2. These transformers are unlikely to contain PCB's, since even the transformers manufactured before 1985 have gone through several oil changes with non-PCB containing transformer oils (Oil change required every 10 years). Oils manufactured currently do not contain PCB's.

Ecological Impacts due to Construction Activities. Ecological impacts are possible if construction is done in ecologically fragile areas. None of the ecologically fragile areas in Greater Mumbai will be affected by the project. As mentioned eariier, in project component description, minor construction activities such as construction of sub-stations, cable huts are involved.

Of particular significance here is the possibility of construction in Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) areas. Preliminary assessment has shown that none of the new AC sub-stations in Churchgate - Virar section and Thane-CST section (including one proposed at Mankhurd) will be located in designated CRZ areas.

Some trees may require cutting in area designated for sub-stations. However, survey for the same has not been done. As required by The Maharashtra Tree Felling Act, prior permissions from tree officer of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) or applicable Forest officer will be taken before cutting down of any Tree (listed in the schedule of the above Act)

Resettlement of Proiect Affected Households (PAH) Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of any PAH will be done by MMRDA as per the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra.

Archaeological and Cultural Property

iv Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

Rehabilitation of Cultural Property such as archaeological and historical sites, religious (temples, mosques etc.) likely to be affected by the project is required by The World Bank Operational Policy 4.11 on Cultural Property Preservation.

As per survey done by MMRDA, there are no such structure affected by this project.

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigation Measures

Interviews and site visits have not indicated any significant adverse environmental impact caused due the project activities. Any adverse impacts expected will be due to disposal of hazardous waste material such as scrap transformers. No significant adverse impacts are expected during the operation stage of the project.

Thus, as far as this project is concerned, recommendations for EMP implementation include the following:

* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for civil construction works and other related activities - Sub-stations, cable laying etc. • EHS measures for waste handling, storage and disposal. * EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism including Institutional framework

5.1 Site Findings and Compliance For EHS Mitigation Measures

The EHS issues are addressed for the components given below for design, construction and operation phases of the project.

* Ecological impacts such as tree cutting and destruction of mangroves. * Resettlement and rehabilitation * Utility relocation * Disposal of scrap hazardous material from DC-AC Project . Generation of Dust due to construction activity (Mainly applicable to Sub-Station Construction) * Construction Vehicle /equipment exhaust emissions * Noise from vehicles, plants and equipment * Chocking of drains and other water bodies such as wells and lakes/ponds. * Soil erosion * Debris disposal * Soil contamination by construction wastes, fuel etc. * Land degradation in quarry area. e Health and hygiene at construction labour camps • Delays and congestion on tracks * Traffic Control and Safety Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

* Occupational Health and Safety * Hazardous material handling

Critical EHS recommendations for the project are given below, more details on audit findings and recommendations are available in Tables 3.1 to 3.3 of this report.

Pre-construction and design stage:

1. Trees to be removed before commencement of construction, with prior permission from Forest Officer as required by the Maharashtra Tree Felling Act. 2. Resettlement is currently being carried out by MMRDA as per RAP of GOM. Separate Transit and penmanent accommodations for project affected households should be audited at least 6 monthly. 3. Plans should be made showing the route of cable laying along with areas affected, traffic diversions required, utilities affected etc. 4. Cable laying work to be done strictly after prior approval of concerned Municipal/Civic Authority. 5. All utilities, such as electrical installations, telephone lines etc. to be shifted only after prior approval of agencies.

Construction Phase

1. All scrap transformers to be stored in dedicated areas with adequate precautions in Railway Stores. 2 Transformers (including waste transformer oils) should be sold to only vendors authorised by MOEF 3. Stores Dept. to ensure that Authorisation is available for handling and disposal of waste oil (including Transformer oil) from State Pollution Control Board, as per requirement of Hazardous Waste (Handling and Management) Amendment Rules, 2000. 4. Road wetting at construction sites for minimising dust emissions. 5. All contractors to make sure that all dumpers and other vehicles being used at site have been checked for vehicle emissions and have a valid PUC certificate. 6. A clear documented procedure to be made part of the tender documents, requiring contractors to dispose debris in low-lying areas away from water bodies, as fill material only. 7. Documentation such as quarry release receipt issued by the District Revenue officer at the quarry site to be available at construction site. 8. Safety and hazard posters and signs should be clearly displayed at locations such as plafformn works, level crossings, Station building construction areas etc. 9. All safety precautions as mentioned in tender documents to be taken. An engineering work permit is made by Western Railway for each site, after inspection of safety conditions as per tender requirements. C.R. to assure that a similar procedure for work permit is followed at all construction sites 10. CR/WR to assure that all contractors make available safety shoes, face masks, earplugs etc. as applicable to the labourers. Such PPE's should be available on site and assessment

vi Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

should be made during scheduled inspections. This requirement to be made a part of tender documentation. 11. First aid boxes to be made available at site.

ODeration Phase 1. Regular maintenance of track side plantation. 2. Regular audits of material handling and disposal (storage, disposal practice and records)

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Site visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmental management organisation:

In the consolidated EA report for MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the Project Implementation Agency (PIA). However, Central Railway (CRANR) is the PIA for this project. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA and CR. * CRNWR has incorporated certain EHS elements in the tender documents. Additional requirements to be induded are pointed out in Table 3.2 of this report. * Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart from periodic general inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHS elements of the project.

Environmental impacts for thq project are limited to those caused by handling and disposal oT wastes, particularly hazardous wastes such as transformers and transformer oils and cable laying work, cutting of trees, minor civil construction work etc.

The objectives of monitoring will best be achieved for this project by a comprehensive periodic site inspection program for EHS elements for the on-going construction activities. This is covered in Section 6.2. Physical periodic monitoring of ambient air quality, noise, water etc. for the construction and operation stages of the project are not recommended for this railway project.

The recommended EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism, inspection schedule - format - responsibilities, current institutional mechanism, training requirements etc. are given in detail in Sections 6.1 to 6.5 of this report. The estimated cost of EMP implementation for DC-AC conversion project will be Rs. 1250000 (Table 5).

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has identified a number of sub-projects to strengthen the suburban rail transport and road transport In Greater Mumbal and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) as a whole. MUTP places considerable emphasis on improving public transport induding the railway capacity.

As per requirement of The World Bank, Environmental Assessments (EA) was done for some these sub-projects In the years 1996 to 1998. Also, a consolidated EA was prepared for the entire MUTP project. Environmental Management Plans (EMP) was prepared as a part of these EAs, which included mitigation measures for minimising adverse environmental impacts. Currently, several of these sub-projects are in different stages of construction and MMRDA desires to carry out an assessment of the relevant EMPs.

1.2 Statement of purpose

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has retained the services of Serene Environmental Services (SES) to carry out Environmental Audit for railway projects of MUTP. The scope of work is as per TOR given in the RFP no. PD/MUTP/EA/701/2001 dated October 16, 2001 (Annex 1). The work was awarded to SES on November 7, 2001, after final negotiations on November 6, 2001.

Objectives of the study:

* Assess whether any activity of the project will have impacts on the environment such as construction of sub-stations within coastal regulation zone. * Assess impacts of disposal of old DC transformers. * Suggest environmental management plan, If required, for mitigating environmental Impact

2.0 PROJECT DETAILS

2.1 Project Need

The trains in Mumbai have been running on 1500V DC electric traction since 1930. World over the 25KV AC traction system has been accepted during 1950. The changeover has not taken place here due to several technical and execution problems. tnvironfrienrwal AU( or L)u-o- as 6erene tnvironmenrai services Conversion Project of Railways

The several benefits that will be achieved by conversion from DC to AC traction system are:

• Future long-term traffic requirement of Mumbai area can be met with less number of traction substations * Haulage of longer and heavier trains with a single locomotive. * Increase train speeds * Less transmission losses with higher voltage * Saving of wagon detention hours. * Lower maintenance * Reduction in contact wire wear and tear * Higher reliability, due to fast acting precise relay in AC system with less number of cables.

2.2 Project Components and Implementation Status

The conversion is being done on various sections of both WR and CR. The broad components of the project are as follows:

1. Modification to the existing overhead ecuicment (OHE) to suit the insulation level of 25 kV.

The OHE will need to be modified to suit 25KV AC traction. This involves changing the insulators and modifying suspension points, terminabon points, cross span point etc. Photo I shows a view of the insulators that need to be replaced.

2. Modification to the existing over line structures such as foot over bridges (FOB's), road over bridqes (ROB's).

More clearance between the overhead bridge structure and electrical wires will be required for 25KV system. Thus modificabon to existing over-line structures such as FOB's and ROB's will be required. To avoid huge investment in raising or rebuilding ROB's, it is also proposed to provide changes in the tracks to freeze the rail level.

3. Power supply arrangement for 25 kV system

New AC substations will be set up. The old DC sub-stations will be phased out. Apart from the traction substations, smaller switching stations at different locations are being provided to create sections in the event of a fault and facilitate maintenance. All these power supply installations will be unmanned and controlled from a remote centre. Photo 2 in Annex 2 shows an area near Borivali station been identified for setting up one of the new AC sub-stations Photo 3 shows one of the DC sub-stations at Bhayandar to be dismantled.

4. Modification to the existing low tension suoplies In this work, the L.T. overhead lines of 2.2 KV are being changed over to under ground cables at stations and washing lines. Independent source of power supply from MSEB/BSES etc. will be taken for feeding the stations Battery charging facilities on washing sidings will also be modified.

5. Modification to the telecommunication installation In this work, optic fiber cables (OFC) and associated equipments are being provided. Modifications are done in the telecommunication circuits of Passengers Announciation system, PF indicators and clocks.

6 Modification of the signaling installation with Audio freauencv In this work, the point motors are replaced with AC motors and the AC track circuits are replaced with Audio frequency track circuits. Modifications to block instruments will also be carded out.

7. Modification to Electrical Multiple Units (EMU's) During the period when the conversion work is being executed, the suburban trains have to run with AC power on some converted sections and with DC power on other sections where conversion in progress / awaited, Modifications will have to be carried out in the Electrical Multiple Units (EMU's) so that they can operate on dual voltage i.e. on 1500 V DC & 25 kV AC. For this purpose retro fitment work is in progress. Two of the converted rakes are already in operation.

8. Modifications to Electrical Locomotives As explained above, the locomotives which haul Mail & Express / Passenger / Goods trains will also be modified to work on both the systems.

9. Miscellaneous. Civil Works These include the following: * Rebuilding/raising FOBs which are not having sufficient clearances to accommodate AC traction . Freezing the rail level under ROBs having critical clearances for AC traction by building ballast less track under them . Construction of electrical and service buildings such as substations, relay rooms, cable huts etc. * Construction of quarters, office accommodations, office rest houses and senior subordinates rest houses as per requirements.

At present 20 nos. of DC substations on Westem Railway and 49 nos. of DC substations on Central Railway are feeding DC power supply for running the trains in Mumbai Suburban Network. With switch over to 25 kV AC system, only 5 nos. of AC substations on Westem Railway and 13 nos. of AC substations on Central Railway will suffice.

The new substations will be provided at Mahalakshmi, Bandra, Jogeshwar, Borvali and Vasai Road on Westem Railway and at Chinchpokali, Vidyavihar, Thane, Thakurli, Vangani, Karjat, Titwala, Asangaon, Kasara, Raoli, Mankhurd, Sea wood and Panvel on Central Railway.

4.0 Environmental Impacts

Air Quality and Noise: Of all works in DC-AC project, construction of AC sub-stations and laying of cables (from MSEB to substations) has a potential of causing minor negative impacts on Ambient Air Quality and noise Photos Nos. 2 and 3 show the proposed site for new AC sub-station at Borivali and DC sub-station at Bhayandar respectively.

Environmental Impacts from waste disposal Scrap DC electrical components such as insulators, cables, transformers etc. will be the main wastes from this project. Good working components will be reused for maintenance of routes with existing DC components. Generally the waste material generated will be the ones, which cannot be serviced. These are sent to railway stores for auction. The amount of waste generated in the project till date in WR and CR (mainly for sections where work is in progress) and the current handling and disposal modes are given below in Table 2. Photo 4 shows the scrap yard at Bhayandar. Discarded insulators and other material are stored here before disposal by sale.

One of the critical environmental issues in DC-AC project is disposal of scrap transformers and switch gears that have oils. These oils could have Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) which is used as dielectric and heat exchange fluid. PCBs and their impurities are known to represent a threat to human health and the environment. Thus managing PCB containing wastes is necessary.

As per a World Bank study, most transformers manufactured after 1985 do not Aave PCBs. The number of DC transformers likely to be replaced in WR and CR as a part of DC-AC conversion are given in Table 2. These transformers are unlikely to contain PCB's, since even the transformers manufactured before 1985 have gone through several oil changes with non-PCB containing transformer oils (Oil change required every 10 years). Oils manufactured currently do not contain PCB's.

Impacts on Natural Habitats and Ecoloav Ecological impacts are possible if construction is done in ecologically fragile areas. None of the ecologically fragile areas in Greater Mumbai will be affected by the project. As mentioned earlier, in project component description, minor construction activities such as construction of sub-stations, cable huts are involved.

Some trees may require culling in area designated for sub-stations. However, survey for the same has not been done. As required by The Maharashtra Tree Felling Act, prior perrtissions from tree officer of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) or applicable Forest officer will be taken before cutting down of any Tree (listed in the schedule of the above Act)

Resettlement of Proiect Affected Households (PAH) Resettlement and rehabilitation (R&R) of any PAH will be done by MMRDA as per the Rehabilitation Action Plan (RAP) of Govt. of Maharashtra.

Archaeological and Cultural Property

5.0 Assessment of Environmental Mitigaffton Measures

5.1 Introduction

The previous sections described the possible ernironmental impacts from the DC-AC project. This section is dedicated to formulating Environmental Mitigation measures for the adverse environmental impacts identified for the project and drawing up of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

Thus, as far as this project is concemed, recommendations for EMP implementation include the following:

* EHS mitigation measures that could be included as a requirement for contractors for civil construction works and other related activities - Sub-stations, cable laying etc. * EHS measures for waste handling, storage and disposal. * EMP monitoring and reporting mechanism including Institutional framework

5.2 EHS Mitigation Measures

The mitigation measures identified in Tables 3.1 and 3.2 should be complied by WR and CR by assigning responsibilities for the same to various departments and making it a part of contractor requirements where relevant.

6.0 Environmental Monitoring and Reporting

Ste visits and interviews have revealed the following facts related to environmental management organisation:

* In the consolidated EA report for. MUTP, MRVC was reported to be the Project Implementation Agency (PIA). However, CR/WR is the PIA for this project. MRVC is the coordinating agency to facilitate communication between MMRDA and CR\NR. * Environmental monitoring is currently not required to be done by the contractors. Apart from periodic general inspections, currently there is no feedback mechanism for EHS elements of the project.

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program

The main objectives of a monitoring program are:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigation measures during the construction and operation phases. * To satisfy the legal and community obligations • To respond to the unanticipated environmental issues at an early stage and to verify the accuracy of environmental impact prediction.

Environmental impacts for the project are limited to those caused by handling and disposal of wastes, particularly hazardous wastes such as Transformers and transformer oils and cable laying work, cutting of trees, minor civil construction work etc.

The objectives of monitoring described above will best be achieved for this project by a comprehensive periodic site inspection program for EHS elements for the on-going construction activities.. The significant environmental impacts of this project is related to hazardous waste handling and disposal and monitoring of ambient air quality, noise, water etc. for the construction and operation stages of the project are not recommended for this railway project.

6.2 EMP Monitoring and Reporting As described in Section 6.1 above, an effective inspection program will go a long way to assure implementation of various EHS mitigation measures for this project. The inspection program needs to be dove-tailed into existing programs followed by CRNVR and the parameters for inspection, inspection schedules etc. need to be clearly defined. The existing institutional arrangement mentioned in Section 6.4 ahead is adequate.

19 Environmental AOdit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

6.2.1 EMP Monitoring and Reportina durina Construction Phase

The project implementation work for Greater Mumbai is yet to take off. Currently there is no procedure for site EHS inspections, which could be followed for on-going construction activities.

Based on the site observations, level of awareness of staff (as found during site assessment, interview of CR staff and during audit of BVQR/Santacruz-Borivali project), the following program and procedure is suggested for effective monitoring of EHS implementation at the upcoming construction sites:

a. Monthly inspection program by CR/WR for all on-going and up-coming project construction sites. The inspection will be carried out by the Engineer in-charge of the construction site, or his representative. The format for inspection will be as per Annex 4. The inspection will be carried out during the entire period of construction activity including before start of construction and immediately after construction is complete.

The completed inspection checklist shall be submitted by the concemed engineer to the Chief Engineer (WR/CR). Corrective action plan with time frame for implementation for any non-compliance to be also-submitted.

(Separate checklists need to be filled in for separate works such as sub-station construction site, scrap yard, cable laying site etc. However, a group of similar activitfes could be inspected using the same checklist.

b. All site contractors to maintain log books and other documentation specffied in Annef 5.

c. A copy of the completed monthly inspection checklist should be sent by the Chief Engineer (CR/WR) to MMRDA every month for review. The inspection checklist for a month along with the corrective acton plan, ff any, shall reach MMRDA no later than the 15th day of the next month (This will be applicable mainly for MUTP Projects with Worid Bank Aid Component)

d. MMRDA to carry out independent f'- party inspection of various construction sites every quarter during the construction activity and also after construction is completed to assess any residual environmental impact. A Project Management Consultant (PMC) could be appointed for this purpose by MMRDA. Review checklist given in Annex 4 could be used for this purpose. (This will be applicable mainly for MUTP Projects with World Bank Aid Component)

20 Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Senvices Conversion Project of Railways

6.2.2 EMP Monitoring and Reportina during Operation Phase

There are no significant adverse environmental impacts during the operation phase of this rail project, except for. Thus operation phase monitoring for this project is required mainly for the following:

* Health and survival rates of the compensatory and other plantation done by CRNWR. * Monitoring of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) sites for the people displaced due to the project (If Any). This will be done as a separate exercise not covered in this audit report.

The monitoring program and procedure suggested is as follows: a. CRIWR to carry out survey of plantation done as per the approved Plantation Plan. Checklist given in Annex 6 could be used for this purpose. Survey to be done 6-monthly for 3 years and to be submitted to MMRDA for review by MMRDA and World Bank. b. Regular inspections of stores and scrap yards to assess adequacy of safe handling of hazardous waste material and other wastes.

21 Environmental Audit of DC- AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Project of Railways

6.3 INSTITUTIONAL SETUP

The construction activities of the project are being implemented by CR and WR. The existing organisational structure of Westem Railways for DC-AC conversion activity is given below in Figure 1. This structure is for the construction phase. In the operation phase the contractors and site-incharge function will not be present. Similar structure exists for Central Railway

6.4 Institutional Strengthening

For carrying out regular inspection for the EHS elements, the CRNVR staff needs training for appreciation of various EHS elements. The training program proposed is given in Table 4 below.

Table 4. Training Program for Institutional Strengthening

Module Topic and Contents Duration 1 Environmental Awareness Class Room Appreciation of Environment, Health and Safety Training of 1 issues - Fundamentals of Air Pollution, Noise, day Water Pollution, Solid and Hazardous Wastes generation and handling etc. 2 Environmental Impact Assessment Class Room EIA fundamentals.

The training should be provided at a minimum to the following personnel: * Deputy Chief Engineers (Construction) * Central Railway Site In-charge of various construction sites * Contractor Site In-charge of various construction sites.

1 training program of 4 days as given above should be conducted every quarter to cover all concerned WR/CR staff. The training program can also be integrated into the WR induction- training program.

Visits to country's having similar railway projects and with established and demonstrated EHS Management System, including demonstrated measures for noise attenuation could be visited by concerned officials of CRNVR. This will help tremendously in increasing awareness with WR and improve technical skills for EHS management.

ANNEX-1B

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

1. The project will be implemented within the Indian legal framework and will also comply with the safeguard policies of the World Bank. The applicable legal and policy framework is described below.

Applicable Indian Legal Requirements 2. The applicable Indian legal provisions are described in two groups one related to environment and the other related to resettlement. Legislation related to Environment

3. There are various Acts, Rules and Notifications applicable for different environmental components such as Air Pollution, Water Pollution, Noise Pollution, Coastal Areas, Hazardous Materials Handling and Transport, Forest and Wildlife. In addition, regulatory provisions by way of environmental clearance also exist. The applicable acts and regulations are listed below.

Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 4. This is an umbrella act for environmental protection. Various rules and notifications are issued from time to time under the provisions of this Act. Environmental Protection Rules (2000) specify standards for ambient air quality whereas Noise Pollution (Requlation and Control) Rules, 2000 provide for the ambient noise standards in public places However legal mechanism to achieve these are not explicit in terms of emission at source in transport sector except for the vehicle emission norms like Euro II or Bharat II that have been prescribed. The Environmental ImpactAssessment Notification. 1994 (asamended in May 1997) make environmental clearance mandatory for 29 categories of developmental projects listed in Schedule 1 of the notification. Railways are not listed in schedule 1 and hence do not need environmental clearance. For other components under MUTP, MoEF has confirmed that environmental clearance EIA notification is not required.

Coastal ReQulation Zone Notification, 1991 5. The notification provides for determining certain areas between the Low Tide Line (LTL) and High Tide Line (HTL) and adjacent land ward area as the Coastal Regulation Zone and its classification into CRZ I -ecologically sensitive and coastal wetland between HTL and LTL, CRZ II - where development has already occurred and CRZ IlIl - the residual area largely rural in character. The notification also prescribes prohibited activities in CRZ and activities that can be taken up with the approval of MoEF. Reclamation being a prohibited activity cannot be undertaken in CRZ The Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act. 1975 6 GOM legislation requires every local authority to constitute a Tree Authority. No tree can be felled withoutthe permission of this authority. The Road development agencieswill haveto obtain the permission of the Tree Authority for felling of trees in the right of way and follow the Tree Authorities stipulations in respect of transplanting or compensatory plantation.

Legislation related to R & R.

Land Acquisition Act 1894 (LA Act): 7. This act provides for compulsory acquisition of land for public purposes by paying compensation at the market rate with 30% solatium for the compulsory nature of acquisiton and interest at 12 percent per annum from the date of notification of land for acquisition.

Maharashtra Regional and Town Planninq Act. 1966 (MR&TP Act): 8. The act provides for preparation of Regional Plan for the MMR as a whole and preparation of Development Plans (Master Plans) for the local jurisdiction of individual municipal authority like MCGM. The Regional Plan of MMR has been sanctioned in 1999 whereas the Development Plan of Greater Mumbai was sanctioned in 1991. The Regional Plan is policy oriented and strategic in nature whereas Development Plan is more specific and prescribes detailed land use zoning including designation of land required for public purposes, which. can then be acquired in conjunction with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. The act also provides a statutory framework for formulation and enforcement of Development Control Regulations. The sub-projects are required to be consistent with the Regional Plan and the Development Plan.

Development Control Regulations for Greater Munibai 1991 (DCRs): 9. The DCRs set out the standards for building design and construction, provision of services like water supply, sewerage, site drainage, access roads, elevators, fire fighting etc. A separate stt of regulations is included for the redevelopment or resettlefnent of slums, which are administered by the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). Buildings procured for R & R have to conform to these DCRs. Up-front clearance of the entire project is however not required under the DCR. Approvals are to be obtained for individual scheme, as it gets prepared.

10. These regulations prepared under the MR & TP Act offer an alternative to acquisition under LA Act by way of Transfer of Development Rights (TDR). The permissible Floor Space Index (FSI) defines the development rights of every parcel of land in Mumbai. If a particular parcel of land is designated for a public purpose the landowner has an option of accepting monetary compensation under the LA Act 1894 or accept TDR (equivalent to the plot area times the permissible FSI), which can be sold in the market for use elsewhere in Mumbai. The DC Regulations have been amended to provide incentives for rehabilitation (including resettlement of slum dwellers) in 1997. For landowners prepared to provide 225 sq.ft. dwelling units free of cost to slum dwellers, the incentive is in the form of right to build and sell floor space equivalent to that required for slum rehabilitation subject to the maximum in-situ utilization of FSI of 2.5. The remainder of the total development rights can be used as TDR. In case of land designated for resettlement of slum dwellers affected by infrastructure projects, the land owner has an option of offering dwelling units to the project implementing agency free of cost and getting the benefit of maximum of TDR equivalentto floor area calculated at FSI of 3.5 (1 for land and 2.5 for the built-up area)

The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act 1960: 11. This act provides for establishing, registering and administering the co-operative societies. Housing co-operative is a special form of co-operative society, where the land and building is owned by the co-operative and its members have occupancy rights of apartment occupied by them. Sale and purchase of such units can take place only with the consent of the society. This is a common form of tenure in Mumbai's apartment buildings and is widely understood.

Applicable World Bank Policies 12. Given that MUTP has been developed with the intention of mobilizing financial resources from the World Bank, project preparation has included a number of studies and assessments which have sought to address and meet the requirements of the World Bank's environmental and social policies, often referred as the 'safeguard' policies. The next paragraphs provide a summary overview of how these guidelines have been considered.

Environmental Assessment (OP 4.01) 13. In the context of the Bank's Operational Policy (OP) 4.01 on Environmental Assessment, MUTP has been classified as category "A" project, largely on the basis of the large number of people requiring resettlement and rehabilitation. Because of the large-scale resettlement and the triggering of more than one safeguard policy the project is also classified as "S1 " in terms of safeguard issues. A consolidated EA including SEA has been prepared that provides the framework for preparing sub-project specific EA and EMPs in compliance with the World Bank policy.

Cultural Propertv (OP 4.11): 14. The United Nations term "cultural property" includes sites having archeological (prehistoric), paleontological, historical, religious, and unique natural values. Cultural property, therefore, encompasses both remains left by previous human inhabitants (for example, middens, shrines, and battlegrounds) and unique natural environmental features such as canyons and waterfalls. The World Bank's general policy regarding cultural properties is to assist in their preservation, and to seek to avoid their elimination.

15. Mumbai with its history of nearly three hundred years is rich in cultural property particularly in the form of built heritage. GOM and MCGM are acutely aware of the need to conserve such heritage. GOM in 1995 with the involvement of NGOs listed over 600 buildings and precincts as of heritage significance. DCR 67 governs the development of these listed buildings and precincts. GOM has also constituted a Heritage Conservation Committee in 1995 to advise the Municipal Commissioner regarding development permission to be granted in case of listed buildings and precincts. No development permission can be granted of the listed buildings or within the precincts without the consent of the Heritage Committee.

16. During the execution of works, if a 'chance find a of archaeological significance occurs, the contract requires the contractor to immediately inform the employer and stop further work. Employer will in turn inform the state Archaeology Department for further investigation.

17. The only cultural properties that are directly affected by the sub projects are small places of worship established by the community of squatters within the right of way. These have been created by the affected communities for their own use. Such places of worship do not possess any histoncal or architectural significance e,nd may not therefore strictly qualify to be treated as cultural property. Nevertheless they are treated as an integral part of preparation of RIPs The places of worship and other community assets are identified dunng the BSES. Their rehabilitation is being implemented as a part of the R & R process in consultation with the community. The impact on these properties and the manner.in which such impacts can be identified can be classified in three categones. Firstly the buildings that are only partially affected can be helped to add equivalent area elsewhere adjacent to the building. Secondly structures that are fully affected by the right of way but are patronized by the community that is not affected by the project could be rebuilt outside the right of way in consultation wth the community and with assistance of the NGO. In some cases the entrance to the structure could be reoriented to ensure safety of the devotees visiting the place. Thirdly the affected structuresthat patronized by the community being resettled could be relocated in consultation with the community. In addition, the community may agree to forego some places without insisting upon their resettlement.

Natural Habitat (OP 4.04): 18. Natural habitats are defined as land and water areas where (i) the ecosystems' biological communities are formed largely by native plant and animal species, and (ii) human activity has not essentially modified the area's primary ecological functions. All natural habitats have important biological, social, economic, and existence value. Important natural habitats may occur in tropical humid, dry, and cloud forests; temperate and boreal forests; Mediterranean-type shrub lands; natural arid and semi-arid lands; mangrove swamps, coastal marshes, and other wetlands; estuaries; sea grass beds; coral reefs; freshwater lakes and rivers; alpine and sub alpine environments, including herb fields, grasslands, and paramos; and tropical and temperate grasslands. Critical natural habitats include existing protected areas and areas officially proposed by governments as protected areas (e.g, reserves that meet the cnteria of the World Conservation Union [IUCN] classifications i.e. Strict Nature Reserve/Wilderness Area: protected area managed for science or wilderness protection; Il-National Park: protected area managed mainly for ecosystem protection and recr.eation; Ill-Natural Monument: protected area managed mainly for conservation of specific natural features; IV-Habitat/Species Management Area: protected area managed mainly for conservation through management intervention; V-Protected Landscape/Seascape: protected area managed mainly for landscape/seascape conservation and recreation; and VI-Managed Resource Protected Area: protected area managed mainly for the sustainable use of natural ecosystems. The conservation of natural habitats, like other measures that protect and enhance the environment, is essential for long-term sustainable development. The Bank therefore supports the protection, maintenance, and rehabilitation of natural habitats and their functions in its economic and sector work, project financing, and policy dialogue. The Bank supports, and expects borrowers to apply, a precautionary approach to natural resource management to ensure opportunities for environmentally sustainable development.

19. From this perspective one of Mumbai's notable natural habitat is limited to the 103 sq.km. National Park at Borivali, which is located in the northern part of the peninsula between the two rail corridors. The National Park is protected under the Indian Forest Act. None of the sub-projects passes through the National Park. The other important Natural Habitat is the coastal wetlands in the eastern and western suburbs and along the Vasai creek. These are protected by the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification of 19 February 1991.

Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4 30)

20. The Operational Directive 4.30 describes Bank policy and procedures on involuntary resettlement, as well as the conditions that borrowers are expected to meet in operations involving involuntary resettlement. Planning and financing resettlement of projects are an integral part of preparation for projects that cause involuntary displacement MUTP will require resettlement of about 19000 households (68000 persons). The World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement is therefore applicable to the project. In compliance with to this policy an R & R Policy has been prepared and adopted by GOM for MUTP. RAP providing the overall framework of policy, entitlements, consultative processes, grievance redressal mechanism, component costs and monitoring and evaluation mechanism has already been prepared. Sub-project specific RIPs are being prepared.

Indigenous People (OD 4.20)

21 This operational directive describes Bank policies and processing procedures for projects that affect indigenous peoples. It sets out basic definitons, policy objectives, and guidelines for the design and implementation of project provisions or components for indigenous peoples. The terms "indigenous peoples," "indigenous ethnic minorities," "tibal groups," and "scheduled tribes" describe social groups with a social and cultural identty distnctfrom the dominant society that makes them vulnerable to being disadvantaged in the development process. For the purposes of this directive, "indigenous peoples" is the term that will be used to refer to these groups. Indigenous peoples can be identified in particular geographical areas by the presence in varying degrees of the following characteristics: (a) a close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in these areas; (b) self-identification and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group; (c)an indigenous language, often different from the national language;(d) presence of customary social and political institutions; and (e) primarily subsistence-oriented production. 22. About 1% of the PAHs of-MU-TP belong to the Scheduled Tnbes. A field-based reviewwas undertaken to determine if these PAHs were subject to application of this Policy since they might have originally belonged to tribal communities in the distant past. As of now they are integrated with the city life and do not have their traditional habitat or follow tradibonal ways of life. More particularly, (a) they no longer have close attachment to ancestral territories; (b) they do not identify themselves or are identified by others as distinct cultural group; (c) they do not speak an indigenous language; and (d) they no longer belong to customary social and politcal institutions. There is also a general reluctance to reveal the caste or tnbe particularly pronounced when data is to be kept in public domain. Itwasdeterminedby the review thatthe soctal impact of the project on such people is therefore similar to that on other PAHs and thus the policy does not apply. No separate Indigenous Peoples Development Plan (IPDP) has therefore been prepared.

Other Safeguard Policies

23. World Bank has other safeguard policies dealing with Pest Management, Forestry, Safety of Dams and Projects in International Waterways or in Disputed Areas. These are however not applicable to MUTP. Envirnmental Audit of DC - AC Serene Environmental Services Conversion Projects
