CHAPTER - I

INTRODUCTION 1.1. Overview

1. The North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program (NKUSIP) proposes to improve the environmental quality of the urban areas through better urban infrastructure facilities and thus improve living conditions of the urban people. In the wake of poor infrastructure facilities and services such as water supply, sewerage and sanitation and solid waste management, the risk of infectious diseases through exposure to unhealthy environment runs high, particularly in the case of urban poor. Hence, the proposed Investment Program aims at minimizing or mitigating the risk and ensures the well-being of people.

2 . Though the Investment Program aims to improve the environmental condition of urban areas, the proposed improvements of infrastructure facilities may exert certain adverse impacts on the natural environment. While developing urban infrastructure facilities, impacts during the construction stage are expected to be more severe than impacts during the operation phase, though for a short duration. Exceptions being some facilities such as solid waste landfill, sewage treatment plant, which may also exert adverse impacts during the operation phase also, if due care is not taken. Again, most of the impacts are activity- specific. However, if due care is taken during the construction phase, investment Program negative impacts will be far outweighed by positive impacts

1.2 Environmental Regulatory Compliance

3 The components of NKUSIP includes Urban drains and slum improvement works infrastructure such as water supply, sewerage and sanitation, solid waste management and road. Sub-components, which fall under the ambit of environmental regulations and mandatory requirement, are indicated in the following Table

All sub- The Environment Policy and • Categorization of sub-project components Operations Manual (OM) 20: components into A, B or C and Environmental Assessment developing required level of Guidelines 2003 environmental assessment for Environmental Considerations in each component ADB Operation

4 The above table indicates that as far as GoI and GoK Acts/Guidelines are concerned, the proposed Investment Programs do not need to go through environmental assessment process;. The ADB guidelines, on the other hand, stipulate addressing environmental concerns, if any, of a proposed activity in the initial stages of Investment Program preparation. For this, the ADB Guidelines categorizes the proposed components into varies categories (A, B or C) to determine the level of environmental assessment required to address the potential impacts. Level of environmental assessment required for each category of Investment Program, as per ADB’s Environmental Assessment Guidelines 2003 is presented below.

(i) Category A. Sub-project components with potential for significant adverse environmental impacts. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required to address significant impacts.

(ii) Category B. Sub-project components judged to have some adverse environmental impacts, but of lesser degree and/or significance than those for Category A projects. An initial environmental examination (IEE) is required to determine whether significant environmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is not needed, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report.

(iii) Category C. Sub-components unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implications are still reviewed.

1.3 Purpose of Initial Environmental Examination

5 The NKUIDFC Package IV – Bellary covers 25 sub-project towns. To fulfil the ADB’s environmental assessment requirement for sector loans, the environmental assessment of sample sub-project was carried out. Owing to the scale and nature of the proposed infrastructure components and environmental profile of the NKUSIP area in general and the sample sub-project towns in particular, prima facie almost all Investment Program components are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts.

6 Therefore, as per the ADB’s Environmental Assessment Guidelines, the sub-project components proposed in Gangavathi under NKUSIP are categorized as ‘B’ and an initial environmental examination (IEE) have been carried out.

1.4 Scope of IEE

7 The IEE was based mainly on secondary sources of information and field reconnaissance surveys; no field monitoring (environmental) survey was conducted. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT PROGRAM COMPONENTS

2.1 NKUSIP Investment Program Goal

8 The North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program (NKUSIP) will finance investment for (i) Environmental Sanitation Infrastructure; (ii) Water supply Infrastructure; (iii) Urban Roads Improvement; (iv) Poverty Alleviation; (v) Non- Municipal Infrastructure; (vi) Institutional Development; and (vii) Investment Program Assistance. The overall development goal of the NKUSIP is to facilitate economic growth in the towns of North Karnataka and bring about urban development through equitable distribution of urban basic services to the citizens that are environmentally sound and operationally sustainable. The development purpose is designed to assist Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) to “promote good urban management, and develop and expand urban infrastructure to increase economic opportunities and to reduce vulnerability to environmental degradation and urban poverty”.

9 Thus the Investment Program goal is to facilitate economic growth in the towns/cities of North Karnataka and bring about urban development though equitable distribution of urban basic services to the citizens that is environmentally sound and operationally sustainable. The following are the urban infrastructure components proposed under the NKUSIP.

(i) Urban Drainage; and (ii) Poverty Alleviation; and,

2.2 Project location

10 GANGAVATHI, the second largest urban centre in Koppal District is located at a distance of 360 km northwest from the State Capital Bangalore and 45 km from Koppal. The town is the Taluk Headquarters of the Gangavathi Taluk in Koppal District. The City Municipal Council jurisdiction extends up to an area of 16.53 Sq.km with 31 wards. The Gangavathi is the centre for development activities in agricultural sector and rightly called as the “Rice Bowl of Karnataka”. It is an important commercial and marketing centre well known for trade in paddy, jaggery, jowar and other food grains.

KUIDFC 10 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report

11 The town is located on a gentle ground slope towards the south. Durgamma nalla runs across the town from southwest to southeast there by dividing the town into two parts. A hillock abuts the town on the west and stretches for considerable length along its border. The highest plane of town is at + 398.17 m above MSL and the lowest part of the town is at + 381.09 m above MSL. : The surface stratum is composed of murrum soil mixed with granite boulder out cropping at several places. The town comes under Central Karnataka Plateau, with the region representing the transitional surface between Deccan trap and relatively higher surface. Largely, this region represents the Tungabhadra River basin. The location map of the Gangavathi is presented in Maps 2.1 & 2.2.

2.3 Need for Infrastructure Improvement in Area Gangavathi, the second largest town and taluk headquarters of Koppal District is one of the twenty-five towns being considered under the North Karnataka Urban Sector Improvement Programme (NKUSIP) with loan assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB). The programme envisages the development of urban infrastructures in the selected towns. The main emphasis is on water supply, urban sanitation (sewerage, solid waste disposal and storm water disposal) and poverty alleviation in addition to urban roads and non municipal components like fire services, tourism information centers and lake development. In Gangavathi, the two main components of water supply and sewerage have been taken up by the line departments, while the urban drains and slum improvements are being taken up under NKUSIP. Hence while the urban infrastructure improvements to the town are being taken up in general it is necessary to provide more emphasis in the improvements of the slums in order to have a comprehensive development of the town. Hence, the formulation of specific projects for the slums. The project will improve the environmental services in the slums by providing water supply, sewerage, drainage, pavements and street lighting facilities. In addition public conveniences facilities will be provided where very much needed.

2.4 Karnataka – Health Status Lack of safe and adequate water supply and sanitation facilities leads unhealthy environment which results in the risk of infectious diseases particularly in urban areas. Report which was generated by The State of Environment Report (SOER), 2003, Karnataka, brings out the fact that the lack of safe water supply and sanitation facilities is essentially leading to the health related consequences. The following are important observations of the report.

 Valmiki circle to kanakdas circle: This drain flows in northwest to east direction and is located in the central part of the town. Covered areas of town are hillock area, Jayanagar, Basavaswara bad wane, Kuvempu nagar, Market, Bus stand, Police quarters, and Bus Depot area. Replacement of existing drain with bigger size to increase the capacity of the drain to avoid the flood during rainy season.

 Killa Area to Durgamma nallah: This drain flows in north to south direction and reaches Durgamma nallah and is located in the most densely populated area of the town. Covered areas of the town are slum area Killa Area slum, Gandhi circle, Commercial area near HMS theatre, Pinjar oni.

 Taluk stadium to Durgamma nallah: This drain flows in north to south direction reaches Durgamma nallah and is located in the Commercial area and densely populated area of the town. Covered areas of the town are APMC, Vegetable Market, thickly populated slum areas. This drain is loaded not only with the sewage water but also with solid waste like vegetable waste, plastic paper etc dumped inside the nallah,

 Maruthinagar to Durgamma nallah: This drain flows in northwest to south direction reaches Durgamma nallah and is located on the northern side of the town. Covered area of Maruthinagar, Marutheswaranagar, Lingaraj camp, Vinayakanagar, Manjuvara camp.

 Lakshmi camp to Krishnadevaraya canal: This drain flows in north – south direction and reaches Krishnadevaraya canal and is located on the Eastern side of the town. Covered areas are Lakshmi camp, Gowri nagar, Jia Bheemanagar, Chalavadi oni L B S nagar.

C) TERTIARY DRAINS:

15. The roadside drains are provided on both sides of the roads. Most of the built up drains are rectangular in shape and are constructed in stone masonry with concrete at the bottom. The katcha drains are in the form of excavated shallow trenches, with no protection to the sides and are prone to damage by the traffic

16. Drains serve the dual purpose of carrying storm water in rainy season and waste water in other seasons. It is, therefore, necessary to provide drains on both sides of the roads. The total length of the roads in the town is 234.00 kms. Actual length of built up drains is 110 km. Thus, covers a mere 47 percent of the roads. The coverage thus appears extremely poor. Most of the road network appears yet to be covered either by pucca drains or katcha drains.

2.3.3 Need of the project

17. Killa Area slum, Lakshmi camp, LBS nagar, Chalavadi oni, Jia Bheemanagar, Manjuvara camp and pinjar oni get flooded in heavy rainy season. Areas near M G circle, M G road and Hosur road also are affected. A drain network is required to carry the flood water in this area.

18. The field inspection reveals that the most of the drains are choked up due to dumping of garbage and debris in secondary and tertiary drains. Practically the above drains are used by households as a dumping yard. In addition due to long neglect of O&M operation of the system most of the drains are in choked condition. In particular during rainy season the drains overflow onto the surface of roads. Also the sullage water flowing in surrounding area cause pollution. In addition on account of damaged drains in the surrounding area, the ground water is also polluted due to seepage of sullage and sewerage from the above drains. In spite of fair slope due to illicit dumping of solid waste and neglect of O&M operation the whole system has practically collapsed. It is of prime importance that there is an urgent need for strengthening the drain system, particularly in the low lying areas. Also most of the roads are damaged on account of the over flow of storm water drain.

Inadequate coverage of drain: Only 47 percent of the roads appear to have been covered / served by built up drains. Secondary Drain Links: many low lying areas in the town get flooded as they cannot be effectively drained for want of proper drain network and proper outlets in the form of Secondary drains connecting to the primary channels.

Unhygienic Condition: There is an existing sewerage system in the town but most of the sewer lines are choked due to dumping of solid waste. Most of the area still dependent on the road side drains for carriage of waste water. In the absence of well constructed drains in many areas, waste water flows along the streets and accumulates in low lying areas. Still trunk sewer works not complete hence raw sewage water allow into storm water drains. Use of the

KUIDFC 19 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report open channels for dumping the garbage and debris affects the draining capacity of these channels. The open cess pools formed in the low lying areas pose a serious threat to the health of the citizen, besides polluting the ground water and presenting very ugly sights.

Durgamma nallah is the only main natural drain now passing through the city. The entire drain network is at present working as feeders to this nallah which leads the excess waters to the river. There had been a very old system of drain network (Krishnadevaraya canal) which was to work as an irrigation canal to the fields on both its banks and as a storm water canal during floods/rains. During non-rainy period it was fed from the river. The excess water during rainy season, excess water let into Durgamma Nala. This system has been neglected and at present has been turned into a drain leading the waste water to Durgamma nallah. It is also used for irrigation purpose. It has been proposed to improve the secondary drains now leading to the Durgamma nala so as to improve the drainage of the side drains and thus provide a solution to the flooding problem.

 STORM WATER DRAINAGE NETWORK:

For many of the low lying areas in the city there are no proper outlets or secondary drains connecting them to the primary channels. The drains are blocked due to debris and waste and are not effective. Entire city is still dependent on the roadside drains for carriage of wastewater. In the absence of well constructed drains in many areas, waste water flows along the streets and accumulates in low lying areas. Use of the open channels for dumping the garbage and plastic bags affects the draining capacity of these channels. The open cess pools formed in the low lying areas pose a serious threat to the health of the citizen, besides polluting the ground water In the absence of a sewerage system and inadequate sanitation facilities, a large amount of the domestic sewage is let into storm water drains. This is resulting in pollution of the public water bodies such as river, as the waste runoff leads to these watercourses.

2.6 Slum Improvement

The study of slums in Gangavathi is made to assess the extent of their access to basic services. It includes identification of the level of services in slums, opportunity cost incurred by households, mechanisms to overcome the shortfall in service and affordability and determination /willingness to pay for improved services. The study was made to assess the socio-economic profile, access to basic services and identification of the priority for providing for basic services. In Gangavathi there are 26 declared slums and 1 undeclared slum. The total population in declared slums is 34,658 and 468 (2001) in the undeclared slum, accounting for about 37.37 % of the total population. Details of declared and undeclared

Poverty alleviation efforts through special plans, programs and policy measures by the Government of India have been initiated since 1970s. It has been promoted as one of the most important goals of the Government throughout the last three decades. The Government of Karnataka to initiated since then, a program for alleviation of poverty in both urban and rural areas.

In the context of environmental conditions of the informal and formal low-income settlements,

KUIDFC 22 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report NKUSIP proposes to improve the environmental services in these settlements by providing water supply, sewerage, drainage, roads and pavements. The Project will provide for public conveniences catering to the environmental sanitation needs of dwellers. This component will also include a social sub-component, which shall provide for activities that will be dovetailed along with centrally sponsored schemes for poverty alleviation. This component will be addressed through the Karnataka Slum Clearance Board (KSCB), a State Line Department.

27. The phenomenal growth of Urban Karnataka has lead to mushrooming of slums in and around the urban areas. The vulnerable places for slum development are mostly environmentally fragile areas namely marshy and swampy areas, low lying areas, vacant government lands, and its agencies, lands under high tension lines etc. The inhabitants of these slums are basically the urban poor, who are a legitimate part of the town. They contribute to its growth and deserve a share of the benefits of that growth. In Karnataka there are 2603 slums, out of which Bangalore alone accounts for 543, with Gangavathi having 26 declared slums. The improvements proposed in this scheme are in areas which are declared as slums by Karnataka Slum Clearance Board. These slums are located within a radius of 2.5 kms of Gangavathi Town. These slum dwellers are residing in these slums for the past 20 -25 years. Percentage Distribution of slum households to access to basic service is presented in Table 2.5.

The physical environment in terms of housing conditions, availability of basic services etc determines the productivity and consequently the quality of life in urban areas. Majority of the people living in slums do suffer from deprivation especially in basic services and amenities.

II) Household size and sex ratio: Survey of the Gangavathi town slums indicated an average household size of 5.3 in slums; with a standard deviation of 0.70. For the sample household this is higher than the KSCB figure for average slum household size of 4.32 in Gangavathi. Only 4 percent of the surveyed households were recorded as woman headed households while 48 percent of the households were recorded belong to SC/ST community. The average sex ratio for sample households is 877 females per 1000 males in Gangavathi slums, with a standard deviation of 70.06, showing some variation among sample households. The sample average is lower than the 2001 Census figure of 976, for the town as a whole.

III) Literacy: Literacy levels in Gangavathi slums are low, with 30 percent female literacy among the sample slum population, which is very much lower than the male literacy at 58 percent. The survey indicates a total literacy of 45 percent, which is very much below the 2001 Census figure of 67 percent for Gangavathi town as whole.

IV) Penetration of house holds service connection by income level; Primary data suggests that individual connectivity is related to the income level (Chart 2.8), where more number of households in income category Rs. 1,500 – 2,500 is connected to HSC.

KUIDFC 24 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report

V) Housing. Housing condition in Gangavathi slums were found very poor. Large proportions (96 percent) of households were found staying in katcha houses (30 percent in tiled katcha and 66 percent in thatched houses). Remaining 4 percent of households stay in R.C.C. houses, provided under government schemes. A large proportion of households (65 percent) reside in built up area between 100-200 Sq. ft. while, remaining occupy the houses with built up area less than100sq

KUIDFC 25 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report

VI) Income Distribution. Income levels of households serve as a proxy for their affordability to pay for existing / improved services. Survey results indicate that 57 percent of sample households fall in the below poverty line (BPL) income category. Forty-three percent of the sample households fall in the Rs. 1,500-2,500 monthly income bracket. It is evident that from the Chart 2.6 that lower income group is predominant among the slum population of Gangavathi. An inference can be drawn that very small percentage of migrants in income category of < Rs. 1,500 are rural poor, who come to the town in search of work.

2.6.1 Infrastructure in Slums

A.Water Supply

Most of the population in the slums depend more on stand post supply in Gangavathi i.e. 43% of the house holds have stand post connectivity and only 22% of slum households are served by house service connection while additional 9% have access to bore well/ open well All the households with HSC supply have unmetered connections. Households indicating multiple sources of water use both the sources for drinking and washing purposes and there is no selective use of different sources. Reliability of stand post /HSC in terms supply duration was found satisfactory in Gangavathi slums.

KUIDFC 26 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report Key Issues.

 Unreliable water supply in terms of supply, duration and quantity supplied.  Defunct water supply network in some slums,  Problems of water pressure and quality.  Lack of access or less secure access to alternate sources during water shortage periods and

 Unmetered supply of water, which renders determination of actual water consumption (and thereby demand) and cost recovery for water supplied, by the CMC is difficult.

B. Sewerage and Sanitation

In the Gangavathi town, UGD system is under execution and 80% of the town slums have been covered with sewer network but yet to be connected to households or connections. Only 9% of the slum households have indicated access to safe sanitation and have individual low cost sanitation facility. Without septic tanks the remaining 91% households practice open defecation in the absence of any sanitation facilities. KSCB has constructed 2 nos of community toilets under VAMAAY scheme and in 7 slums community toilet works are under progress by CMC, Wastewater is generally disposed into roadside drains by all slum households. The condition of roadside drains is very bad; as a result the wastewater overflows on roads. None of the households indicated satisfaction with the current levels of service. Stagnation of wastewater and prevalence of mosquitoes are common problems in many slums.

Key Issues

 Inadequate sanitation facilities leading to the practice of open defecation,  Blocking of roadside/storm drains due to disposal of night soil in the drains,  Health, hygiene and environmental implications due to the absence of safe disposal system, and  Inability of the poorest households to bear capital costs, which will have implications for tariff and subsidy design.

KUIDFC 27 Span & Voyants NKUSIP (Package IV – Bellary) Tranche II Sub Projects in Gangavathi Town IEE Report

C. Solid Waste Management

There is no regular clearing of disposed waste by CMC, creating an unhygienic environment. Seventy four percent of the surveyed households indicated irregular collection of waste from the disposal site with frequency ranging from once a week to once in two weeks. It indicates very poor coverage of solid waste management system in Gangavathi slums. Only 8% of households have access to dustbin facilities. Remaining households were found to have lack of access to dustbins for waste disposal

Key Issues.

 Inadequate dustbin facility in slums,  No regular collection of disposed waste, and  Blocking of roadside drains, improper disposal and irregular collection,  Health and hygiene implications, animal nuisance, and implications on the surrounding environment.  D. Roads and Drainage

31. Majority of the slums are located along the roads. Consequently, slums along main roads have black topped road access while others have earthen/macadam road access. For about 80 % of the approach roads width is less than 3.5m, while for the remaining 20% road width is between 3.5 - 5m. The drains are generally unlined and open, clogged with kitchen waste and solid waste. It results in flooding of the slums during monsoons.

Key Issues.

 Poor condition of approach roads due to lack of regular maintenance,  Lack of roadside drains, and if present, improper management, and  Blocking of roadside drains due to disposal of solid waste and night soil.

2.6.3 Proposed Drain 33. It was proposed in clip to improve the condition of the existing nallah and provide a proper outlet for the storm water drain in the low lying areas. The total estimated cost for the improvement of drains is Rs 200.00 lakhs. 34 It is proposed to improve the condition of the existing nallah and provide a proper outlet for the storm water drain in the low-lying areas. The total estimated investment required for the improvement is Rs. 998.00 Lakh. Based on the detailed topographical survey, the following secondary storm water drains of about 8.40 Kms will be taken up for Gangavathi town under this project.  Bannikatti camp: This drain flows towards Durgamma nala located on the centre part of the town near Bamboo bazaar. Covered areas are Bannikatti camp area. Proposed drain for a length of 130m of size (0.5mx 1.0m)  Eranna Gudda to Krishnadevaraya canal: This drain flows from northwest to east direction and is located on the southern part of the town. Covered areas are the Hillock areas of town some part of Virpapur area, Basavanna temple area and Yellamma katti extension area. The total length of the drain is about 880m with varying width from 2m to 3m. Hence proposed RCC drain of size (1.0M x1.0M)of length 200M, (2.0M x1.0M) of length140 and (3.0Mx 1.0M) for a length of 240M.The existing drain of length 320M is in good condition hence these section are retained .  Valmiki circle to Kanakadas circle: This drain flows from northwest to East direction and is located on the central part of the town.

theater, Pin jar oni. The total length of the drain is about 1000m with varying width from 2m to 1.0m. Hence proposed RCC drain of size (1.5.0M x1.5M) for a length of 300M. About 700m of drains are constructed by stone masonry which can be retained and the remaining 200m of existing drain are to be dismantled because the drain size is less. During rainy season water overflows hence this drains is replaced with new drain of size (1.0Mx1.00M).

 Taluk stadium to Durgamma nallah: This Drain flows from north to south direction reaches Durgamma nallah and is located on the Commercial area and densely populated area of the town. Covered area of the town are APMC, some par of Maruthinagar,Vegetable Market, thick slum areas these drain loaded not only with the sewage water also solid waste like vegetable waste, plastic paper etc are dumped inside the nallah, The total length of the drain is about 1450m with varying width from 4.0 m to 5.0m. Hence proposed RCC drain of size (4.0M x1.25M) for a length of 310M and also included proposed repair works from taluk stadium to APMC yard for a length of about 1450m. The existing drain of length 700M is in good condition hence these section of the drain are retained.

 Maruthinagar to Durgamma nallah: This Drain flows in northwest to south direction reaches Durgamma nallah and is located on the Northern side of the town. Covered areas are Maruthianagar, Marutheswaranagar, Lingaraj camp, Vinayakanagar, Manjuvara camp.

Covered areas are Lakshmi camp, Gowri nagar and Jia Bheemanagar. The total length of the drain is about 730m with varying width from (1.5.0 m to 3.0m). Hence proposed RCC drain of size (1.0M x1.0M) for a length of 510M.

 LBS Nagar to canal: This drain flows from north to south direction reaches Krishnadevaraya canal and is located on the eastern side of the town. Covered areas are Chalavadi oni and L B S Nagar. The total length of the drain is about 850m with varying width from (1.5.0 m to 3.0m). At present area not covered by residential area. Hence proposed only RCC drain of size (1.50M x1.25M) for a length of 195M

 Reliance petrol bank to Durgamma nallah via Kampli road: This drain flows from north to south direction reaches Durgamma nallah and is located on the Eastern side of the town. Covers areas are July Nagar and Amarbhagat Singh Nagar. The total length of the drain is about 1320m with varying width from 1.0 m to 2.0m. Hence proposed RCC drain of size (1.0M x1.0M) for a length of 820M and (1.0mx 1.25m) for a length of 500m.

 There is no land acquisition is involved since the drain is passing along the govt. Land (ie. Adjacent to road). No resettlement impacts will be involved.

2.6.4 Improvement in Slum : 35. KSCB has identified 9 slums for up-gradation of basic infrastructure such as water supply, sewerage system, roads storm water drains, street lights, and community toilet etc, under this NKUSIP.

I) Mujawardigi slum 32. This slum is situated in western side of the of town, having population of 529 nos spreads over an area of 6.50 acres. In order to improve the infrastructure in addition to the existing facilities the following co mponents have been considered in the preparation of DPR.

 Concrete roads; cement concrete roads are proposed where mud roads exist with varying width from 3.5m to 4.5mts for a length of 568 mts so as to maintain uniformity over entire slum.  Storm water drains; two different sections of CC drains are proposed on both sides of the road, based on catchments and road width in order to drain storm water effectively from low lying areas through the drain and finally connecting to the main storm channel passing near by. It is proposed to construct drains for a length of 500 mts.  Under ground drainage system ; since under ground drainage system is being executed by KUWS&DB covering all the slums in town the same has not been taken up under this project Recently one community toilet with 10 seater has been constructed by KSCB and is being utilized by the dwellers.  Water supply; there is piped water supply system covering part of the slum area by CMC. Most of the dwellers fetch water from stand posts with single tap without proper platform. Pipe line is not covering the entire slum area, so it proposed to lay distribution pipes for a length of 250mts in this area including replacement of old and damaged lines along with 5 nos of public stand posts.

 Street lights; as there is no proper illumination in the interior portion of the slum, it is proposed to fix up 15 nos solar lamps with mounting structure and pole

II) Mehaboobnagar 33. This slum is also situated in western side of the town, having population of 2,352 spreading over an area of 5.24 acres. In order to improve the infrastructure in addition to the existing, following components have been considered in the preparation of DPR.

 Concrete roads; Cement concrete roads are proposed where ever mud roads exist of varying width from 3.5m to 4.5mts for a length of 1890 mts so as to improve accessibility & hygiene.

 Storm water drains,; Two different sections of CC drains are proposed on both sides of road, based on catchments and in order to drain storm water effectively from low lying area through the drain and finally connecting to the main storm channel passing near by. It is proposed to construct drains for a length of 3780 mts

 Under ground drainage system; since under ground drainage system is being executed by KUWS&BD for the slums also the same has not been taken up under this project.

 Water supply; there is piped water supply existing in part of the slum but pipe line is not covering the entire area. So it proposed to lay pipe for a length of 300mts in the area including replacement of old and damaged ones along with 10 nos of public stand posts.

 Street lights; as there is no proper illumination in the interior of the slum, it is proposed to fix 20 nos solar lamps with mounting structure and pole

III) Laxmi camp- (Ambedkarnagar) 34. This slum is situated in eastern side of the of town having population of 1326 spreading over an area of 13.45 acres including Ambedkarnagar. In order to improve the infrastructure in addition to the existing the following components have been considered in the preparation of DPR.

 Concrete roads; cement concrete roads are proposed where ever mud roads exists with varying width from 3.5m to 4.5mts for a length of 2442 mts so as to improve accessibility & hygiene.

2.7 Investment Program Implementation Schedule

40. The Investment Program is to be implemented over an six-year period, commencing in FY 2009-10 and civil works construction starting in FY 2009-10. Completion is scheduled by end FY 2015-16

2.8 Investment Program Benefits 41. Urbanisation in India was the main driving force behind the rapid economic growth experienced in the country. However rapid urbanisation combined with the gross under- investment in urban infrastructures has resulted in serious environmental and health problems in urban areas. Urban households across India, particularly the poor and disenfranchised, continue to have limited access to potable water, sanitation, drainage and solid waste disposal facilities. While from the onset of the 8th Plan, the priority is to develop urban infrastructure and provide essential municipal services to reduce urban poverty incidence and to prevent further environmental degradation, the sector shows large inefficiencies in service delivery, inadequate investments to expand service coverage and lack of asset maintenance.

42. The present project proposed under NKUSIP is intended to make up for these shortcomings in the selected slums. The proposals are intended to deliver and improve the delivery of water supply, drains, and paved roads in the slums selected. This in tandem with the general improvements under taken by the KUWS&DB and Slum Clearance Board would definitely improve the environment, health and sense of satisfaction in the slums where works are proposed.

2.9 Investment Program Alternatives

39. The environmental suitability of the proposed components are judged through the selected location and proposed process/technology during both the construction and operation phases. The interaction and the level of interference with the surrounding land use determine the environmental sustainability of the Investment Program components. However, the components proposed under NKUSIP are basic urban infrastructure services, most of which are location fixed providing scope for alternatives only in terms of technology, which again are limited. The following table shows environmental suitability of the selected alternatives.

CHAPTER - III DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.1 Environmental Profile of Area 3.1.1 Introduction

40. GANGAVATHI, the second largest urban centre in Koppal District is located at a distance of 360 km northwest from the State Capital Bangalore and 45 km from Koppal. The town is the Taluk Headquarters of the Gangavathi Taluk in Koppal District. The City Municipal Council jurisdiction extends up to an area of 16.53 Sq.km with 31 wards. The Gangavathi is the centre for development activities in agricultural sector and rightly called as the “Rice Bowl of Karnataka”. It is an important commercial and marketing centre well known for trade in paddy, jaggery, jowar and other food grains. 3.1.2 Physiography 41. The town is located on a gentle ground slope towards the south. Durgamma nalla runs across the town from southwest to southeast there by dividing the town into two parts. A hillock abuts the town on the west and stretches for considerable length along its border. The highest plane of town is at 398.17 m above MSL and the lowest part of the town is at 381.09 m above MSL. : The surface stratum is composed of murrum soil mixed with granite boulder out cropping at several places. The town comes under Central Karnataka Plateau, with the region representing the transitional surface between Deccan trap and relatively higher surface. Largely, this region represents the Tungabhadra River basin. 3.1.3 Seismology 42. As per the seismic zoning map of India, the Area town falls under the Zone II, which is the lowest earth quake risk zone in India. This zone is termed as “low damage risk zone”.

3.1.4 Climatic Conditions

43. The climate of the Gangavathi Town is characterized by dry weather during the major parts of the year and very hot summer temperatures are experienced during the periods of March to May. The town receives Southwest monsoon during the period of June to September while the months of October and November can be termed as post monsoon months. The average annual rainfall for the town is 509 mm. During the months of April and May the temperatures goes as high as 41oC and during the months of December and January the temperature will be around minimum of 15oC. Span Consultants Pvt. Ltd.

3.1.5 Surface Water 44. The River Tungabhadra is one of the important rivers in the north India that flows in a direction south to north along the northern side of Areaat around 30 km from the town. The river rises in the hills of Kerala and flows through the states of Karnataka and tamil nadufor a length of about 500km, before joining the Bay of Bengal sea.

3.1.6 Air Quality 45.Area is known for commercial and trade business and rich in agriculture farms there is very few small scale industries located near by areas. Pollution because of industries and vehicular movement is observed well with in the limit stipulated by Central Pollution Control Board.

3.1.7 Socio Economic Characteristics

46. The phenomenal growth of Urban Karnataka has lead to mushrooming of slums in and around the urban areas. The vulnerable places for slum development are mostly environmentally fragile areas namely marshy and swampy areas, low lying areas, vacant government lands, and its agencies, lands under high tension lines etc. The inhabitants of these slums are basically the urban poor, who are a legitimate part of the town. They contribute to its growth and deserve a share of the benefits of that growth. In Karnataka there are 2603 slums, out of which Bangalore alone accounts for 543, with Gangavathi having 26 declared slums. The improvements proposed in this scheme are in areas which are declared as slums by Karnataka Slum Clearance Board. These slums are located within a radius of 2.5 kms of Gangavathi Town. These slum dwellers are residing in these slums for the past 20 -25 years.

CHAPTER - IV SCREENING OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

5 2 . Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components are presented in this section. Mitigation measures to minimize/mitigate negative impacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible for implementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during the implementation phase is also recommended to reduce the impact.

53. Screening of potential environmental impacts is categorized into four categories considering Investment Program phases: location impacts and design impacts (pre construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations and maintenance phase impacts.

(i) Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection, and include loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directly or indirectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on people who will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the development of that site.

(ii) Design impacts include impacts arising from project design, including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, waste production, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillary services.

(iii) Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks, machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production.

(iv) O & M impacts include impacts arising from the operation and maintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routine management of operational waste streams, and occupational health and safety issues.

Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude (negligible/moderate/ severe in the order of increasing degree) and impact duration

INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

5.1 Institutional Requirements

54. Nodal Executing Agency (EA). Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development & Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) is the nodal executing agency (EA) responsible for implementing NKUSIP. Investment Program implementation activities will be monitored by KUIDFC through a separate Investment Program Management Unit (IPMU), which will be set-up within KUIDFC. The Managing Director/KUIDFC will head the IPMU and will be assisted by an Executive Director to oversee the Investment Program progress. A team of senior technical, administrative and financial officials will assist the Executive Director in controlling and monitoring project implementation activities. KUIDFC will establish IPMU offices at two locations (in Bellary and Gulbarga) in the Investment Program area. All Investment Program decisions will be made by the Executive Director who shall operate from the IPMU, Dharwad; only interactions with GoK, GoI and ADB shall be conducted through the KUIDFC office at Bangalore.

55. Implementing Agency (IA). Implementation Agencies (IA) will oversee sub-project component implementation at the sub-project towns, where the Investment Program ULB will implement sub-project components. The responsibilities of the IA shall include (i) carrying out detailed surveys, investigations and engineering designs of individual infrastructure components; (ii) tendering, evaluating bids and awarding works, contract administration, supervision and quality control; (iii) measuring works carried out by the contractors and certifying payments; (iv) conducting public awareness campaigns and participation programs, (v) carrying out environmental assessments; and (vi) preparing monthly reports. The Investment Program Consultants (PC) will assist the Investment Program ULB in all the aforesaid activities; in the case of other IAs, the PC shall proof check designs and quality check construction quality.

56 Thus, the responsibility fulfilling environmental requirements of GoI/GoK (for the project- components of STP, solid waste processing and disposal and construction of barrage) and conducting required level of environmental assessment as per ADB guidelines lies with the borrowing ULB. The Investment Program Consultants will assist the ULB in this regard. The IEE/EIA reports prepared by ULB will be reviewed by the

IPMU as per the ADB’s Environmental Guidelines and forwarded to ADB for review and approval. In case of IEE reports, the ADB could delegate approval of IEE reports fully to the IPMU after reviewing the first two reports. However, all the EIA reports shall be sent to ADB for approval.

57. The mitigation measures identified through IEE/EIA are incorporated into the project cycle. Mitigation measures, which are implemented by the Contractor, shall form part of the Contract Documents. The other mitigation measures are undertaken by the ULB (itself or in assistance with Investment Program Consultants) as specified in the IEE.

5.2 INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING

Institutional strengthening will be undertaken to achieve the goals of the project including sound environmental management. Steps to be taken are discussed under the following sub-headings:  Organisation and Staffing;  Environmental Training;  Monitoring and Reporting; and  Record-keeping.

5.2.1 Organisation and Staffing

58. The implementation of mitigation measures requires supervision by adequately trained staff within the Project Implementation Unit (PIU). The PIU will nominate one of its officers to act as Environmental Officer (EO), to formally address environmental issues on a routine basis, who will have an oversight of environmental aspects of the construction contracts, including the enforcement of all monitoring provisions, the locations of construction and labour camps, etc. Before the commencement of construction, the EO will receive training in the environmental issues associated with STP construction and maintenance projects. The EO will also organize the training programs. Main duties of the EO will include:

 Review of bids to ensure their adherence to the environmental specifications and the requirements of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

 Collection and dissemination of relevant environmental documents including amendments to environmental protection acts issued by various agencies such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB), World Bank and other concerned organisations.  Co-ordination with government departments on environmental issues and obtaining the necessary clearances from the regulatory authorities.

 Monitoring the environmental aspects during construction to ensure that the environmental requirements of the contract and the mitigation measures proposed in the EMP are implemented.  Supervising contractors and preparation of environmental input to the quarterly progress report.

5.2.2 Monitoring and Reporting Procedures

59. The EO shall ensure monitoring of various environmental parameters during the implementation of the project. The EO will visually assess contractor’s practices. Observations of EO and compliance thereupon shall be documented as part of normal contract monitoring. Regular monitoring of dust control, soil conservation practices, management of borrow/quarry area will also be carried out as provided in the contract document.

5.2.3 Record Keeping

60. Monitoring form should be devised for use. The form should focus attention on environmental issues and provide feedback for the future stages of the work. Mitigation and enhancement measures will explicitly make part of the construction contracts documents so that the compliance is measurable and readily documented. Daily project diaries would record environmental problems (spills, dust etc.) as well as safety related incidents and will be retained as part of contract management documents. These reports would be included in Quarterly Progress Reports provided to the funding agency (ADB) as well.

5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

- Rehabilitation and Resettlement Program,

- Afforestation,

- Soil conservation,

- Borrow Area Conservation, and - Sanitation and Waste Disposal.

5.3.1 Rehabilitation and Resettlement Program 62 The Rehabilitation and Resettlement Program needs to be monitored during the project construction phase. The entire program is supposed to be completed before operation phase. Sufficient care needs to be taken to ensure that money reaches the project-affected people. The quality of life of rehabilitated people should not fall below their present status. Details of such program have been presented in separate Social Impact Assessment report.

5.3.2 Afforestation

63 Afforestation for the proposed project will commence before the start of the project cycle. The Forest Department of Government of Karnataka will implement the afforestation program. Trees shall be planted along the railway line inside the right of way (ROW) as soon as construction work is over.

5.3.3 Soil Conservation

64 Soil erosion rates, water sediment load, effectiveness of soil conservation measures, changes in soil texture and structure should be monitored at frequent intervals, during construction and operation phase..

5.3.4 Borrow area Conservation 65. Restoration of borrow areas will be monitored from time to time by construction supervision engineer with the progress of works in full compliance with the contractual obligations. The excavation and restoration of borrow areas and their surroundings, in an

CHAPTER - VI

PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

6.1 Overview

68. Public consultation is a process in which public get freedom to express their own view over a project. Public consultation is a vital in early stage of project which helps strengthening preventive measures to ensure environment sustainability and preserving public interest by taking in account their anticipated questions and introducing measures for mitigating the same.

69 public consultation hold almost in all declared slum area to overview opinion of the public and their anticipated problem enhancing mitigation measure during implementation of project to safe guard environment. It is seen that publics are most awaited for a project what NKUSIP proposed in help of ADB. During public consultation public has brought in light existing scenario of infrastructure facilities like drainage system and problem involved in system which turns in worth condition in rainy season due to bad condition. Peoples are experiences adverse effect of blocked drains in terms of generating bad smell and encouraging to increase infectious diseases due to disposal of household thinks and night soils.

70. peoples also expressed their concern on water supply scheme as many part of the slum areas has not yet covered with existing pipelines and they more depends on bore well or hand pumps to meet daily water requirement. Peoples are expressed their dissatisfaction over water supply scheme because most of the time they received sewage contaminated water which was not fit for drinking purpose, there is no consistency in pressure of water made people to keep option of bore well as well as hand pumps. Peoples demanded for surface water from Tungabhadra river which has been already supplied to other part of the town.

71 People expressed their concern over road and demanded for up gradation with RCC road as these roads put these people in trouble during rainy season. Overflow of drain on to the roads pollutes entire environment and creates unhygienic condition for residing people. Peoples living in the extension areas of town demanded for both storm water drains and roads and sanitation facility. Detailed discussion with public and reply for the same is presented in Table 6.1.

72 Grievances will first be brought to the attention of the implementing NGO. Grievances not redressed by the NGO will be brought to the grievance redress committee (GRC) established in each Investment Program district. The GRC process is designed to be transparent, gender responsive, culturally appropriate and commensurate to the risks and adverse impacts of the project, as well as readily accessible to all segments of the affected people. Affected people are to be appropriately informed about the mechanism through media and public outlets. This participatory process shall ensure that all views of the people are adequately reviewed and suitably incorporated in the design and Implementation process. 73. A District Level Project Steering Committee (DLPSC) headed by the Concerned District Commissioner (DC) has been established under the NKUSIP project vide GO: No N.

CHAPTER - VII FINDING AND RECOMMENDATION 7.1 Findings 74. Based on the screening of environmental impacts, all the proposed sub-project components in Area are found to be environmentally acceptable and therefore able to proceed to the implementation phase. In most cases, particular environmental issues identified are those that are typical for the type of component, and a range of proven mitigation strategies exist to address them. Table 33 indicates the environmental consideration of the proposed infrastructure components. Table 7.1: Environmental Issues of Proposed Infrastructure Components Infrastructure Environmental Impact Environmental Component Issue Mitigations Drainage Appropriate upgradation • Construction impacts mitigation measures as suggested

Slum • No significant issues Appropriate Improvements • Construction and mitigation measures

75. As described above, most impacts are relevant to typical construction and operation. The Important sets of mitigation measures, which are relevant to most of the components, include preparation of activity plans using appropriate mitigation measures identified in the earlier sections. These activity plans include:

• Construction Site Management Plan (to address construction impacts); • Occupational Safety Plan (to address the health related impacts)

76. These activity plans should be prepared by the Investment Program Consultants as compendium of the relevant mitigation measures identified in earlier section. They should form part of the contractual arrangements with construction contractors, or directly implemented by the CMC as facility operator, as required ‘Work Practices’.

7.2 Recommendations 80. It is recommended that the IPMU should be involved in monitoring the implementation of those components that are critical to acceptable environmental performance of the component. Owing to the location of proposed facilities and geographical setting of the town/region as a whole, no major impacts envisaged from any of the proposed sub- components projects in Gangavathi. In addition to the construction stage impacts, most of the impacts are typical of operation of sub-component project, i.e. impacts due to inadequate sewage treatment, toxic gas emissions from landfill site etc. These impacts could be mitigated with sound design and therefore the design stage becomes crucial. In view of this importance, the PMO is delegated with the monitoring responsibility of the design stage to ensure the environmental sustainability of the NKUSIP. Monitoring parameters have been identified for ensuring the environmental benign operation of the Investment Program.

CHAPTER - VIII

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed Investment Program is beneficial to the environment and the society. The projects fall under the Category B of ADB's Guidelines. From this IEE, it can be understood that this Investment Program is of small-scale and does not cause any significant adverse environmental impacts and so a full scale EIA is not required. It is recommended that project can be implemented with proper mitigation measures to protect the environment. This IEE with the recommended institutional requirement and environmental monitoring plan becomes the completed EIA. This IEE for the proposed Investment Program meets all the required environmental criteria. Present status of the project study recommends only IEE for proposed project components. Therefore, no separate EIA is required.
